There's no doubt that the mobile phone industry is one of the most successful ones out there. And in the past few years, it had an amazing rise in growth. Almost everyone on this planet owns a smartphone, and that alone is enough to show you how significantly important they have become in our everyday lives. It wasn't too long ago when people couldn't even imagine having a wireless telephone that can be brought with them anywhere they go. Fast forward a few years, and we have these ultimately smart devices that help us in our everyday tasks and take more realistic pictures than the one we can see with our own eyes. What we think of as "The Future" will come much sooner than we think. And that's why we created this article for you. Today we're covering the future of the phone industry and what to expect in the next couple of years.
Future phones – What's next?
One of the biggest reasons people use smartphones is because they can really help with some of our tasks. The phone industry realized that and is focusing on making them even more helpful than they are right now. According to technology and innovation experts, future phones will be something that they call "Remote controls for our lives". Others are even more radical in this and say that smartphones in the future will literally run our lives for us. There's no doubt that technology is advancing with the speed of light and new ideas are being developed every single day. If you're an innovator, consider getting patent protection before someone else claims your idea or innovation.
Remember that time when you watched a sci-fi film, and every gadget they used had a holographic screen? Well, believe it or not, humanity is not really far away from this. There are rumors about prototypes that already use holographic screens and just need to be perfected before they see the light of the market. Even back in 2014, there were beliefs that the iPhone 6 will have holographic functions, so there's definitely something going on here.
Flexible frames are also something that the phone industries are mainly focusing on at the moment. Smartphone innovators want to create a phone that's so flexible, it can be folded in two by its user. A prototype for something similar to this was the Nokia's morph phone that was announced and showcased back in 2008.
There's no doubt that sooner or later smartphones will serve as learning tools even more than they do now. With the speed of which technology is advancing, in a couple of years, we're definitely going to see apps that will mainly focus on learning things that kids and teenagers learn at school. And they will be real popular for sure. The development of technology and inventions is really something that drives humanity forward, and we should be ready to expect some brand new groundbreaking inventions with each year that goes by.

Google AdWords Quality Score Update
June 11, 2007 Elmer W. Cagape
Google just updated its AdWords Quality Score factor the other day. While the update "should affect a small number of AdWords advertisers" as Google claims, a post in Search Engine Roundtable showed that the update has adverse effect on the affected. This was discussed in DigitalPoint and Webmasterworld threads.
It is difficult to tell what were the changes if I don't have an idea what type of sites were affected and the type of content they produce. Quality Score is a more transparent version of Google's search algorithm. Unlike for natural searches whose Google algorithm isn't disclosed, Quality Score is based on a set of criteria that Google publishes on its Help Center and whose updates are described in detail.
I guess that should be the case for a service that costs advertiser money.

In July 2014, Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian-American lawyer who had been exposed to Ebola in Liberia, traveled to Nigeria for an important regional conference and collapsed in the Lagos airport. At the time, doctors at all the government hospitals were on a labor strike. The only hospitals that remained open were private ones like that in which Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh worked. The doctor who first saw Sawyer initially diagnosed him with malaria; Sawyer claimed he'd had no contact with anyone suffering from Ebola. But after seeing him on her rounds the next day, Dr. Adadevoh suspected Ebola. After a test for Ebola came back positive, she knew exactly what to do: she created an isolation area in her hospital to continue Sawyer's treatment and to protect her staff.
Adadevoh's battle to protect herself and others from infection wasn't easy. The hospital wasn't equipped with the proper protective gear, correct protocols for Ebola treatment, or a real isolation unit. Adding to the challenge, the Liberian government officials were pressuring the Nigerian government, insisting that the doctor discharge Sawyer so that he could attend the conference. But Adadevoh held her ground and refused to let him go. Four days later, Sawyer died of Ebola. Ten days later the doctor herself became ill and was taken to a poorly equipped, makeshift isolation ward, where she too died.
Had Adadevoh not stood up to the government, Ebola might have gripped Nigeria because of the doctors' strike and the government's lack of preparedness. But thanks to her courageous actions, Ebola in Nigeria was limited to just 19 cases and seven deaths, including hers. Nigeria was declared Ebola-free in October 2014, even as the epidemic raged on in West Africa. That's an amazing feat in a country of more than 180 million people.
Prevention also involves locating everyone who has been exposed ("contact tracing"). As tragic as Dr. Adadevoh's death was, it became a catalyst for Nigeria to mobilize against Ebola. And the country did a marvelous job of contact tracing. Nigeria was fortunate, because in 2012, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation had built an emergency command center to detect polio cases. The disease surveillance system at the center was now deployed to look for new Ebola cases. Nigeria mobilized a rapid-response team of 100 Nigerian doctors trained in epidemiology.
After Ebola struck, the government moved 40 of the Nigerian doctors to a central hub that coordinated Nigeria's health ministry, WHO, UNICEF, the CDC, Médecins Sans Frontières, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. In what the WHO called "a piece of world-class epidemiological detective work," the government ended up tracking 100 percent of all potential Ebola contacts in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, where Sawyer landed, and 98 percent of contacts in Port Harcourt, where his nurse visited family. Nearly 1,800 health workers were rapidly trained and armed with protective gear. Safe wards were set up with enough beds and access to chlorinated water. In total, health workers made 18,500 face-to-face visits to check the temperatures of 900 possible contacts.
Nigeria wasn't perfect in its response to Ebola. It took too long for the government to act, and the doctors' strike slowed response too. Niniola Soleye, an employee of MSH and the niece of Dr. Adadevoh, wrote that her beloved aunt paid with her life because the Nigerian health system had been unprepared to deal with Ebola. "The system has since caught up, and Nigeria is today a model for other countries," Niniola wrote. "But the loss of such a gifted doctor and family anchor is incalculable." The story of her aunt was a vivid reminder to me that every death is personal, that we are all connected, and that there are terrible human consequences when health systems fail the people they are supposed to serve.
As the story of Ebola in Nigeria demonstrated, finding and treating the sick before the outbreak has a chance to spread is crucial. But Nigeria wasn't the only country that prevented a local Ebola outbreak from becoming a national public-health emergency. In Senegal, "patient zero" was admitted to the hospital, having lied about his travel history. A week later, doctors found out that he had come from Guinea, and had him tested for Ebola. Senegalese officials closed the country's borders and tracked 67 people who had been in contact with the patient, all of whom underwent voluntary quarantine and twice-daily monitoring by Red Cross workers. None ended up contracting Ebola; even patient zero survived.
These nations clearly showed that a good early detection–early response system—backed by enough trained health workers, equipment, facilities, and a public education campaign—can stop even the most infectious disease.

How does one create a personal photographic expression? As a participant you will come a step closer to your own unique visual imagery. Through the 5day intensive workshop there will be a focus on play, the irrational and the random as opposed to the staged and controlled. We will work with the creation of images and develop a visual language that grows out of our individual personalities and ideas. The workshop will be a mixture of an open forum and individual respons and talks. The workshop is open to all levels and the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 10. The workshop will be housed at Fabrikken for Art & Design; a dynamic artproductionhouse in the central Copenhagen and we will end the week doing a small exhibition of the work we have made during the workshop.
Trine Søndergaard (b. 1972) is a Danish photography-based visual artist. Her work is marked by a precision and a sensibility that co-exist with an investigation of the medium of photography, its boundaries and what constitutes an image. Layered with meaning and quiet emotion, her works are highly acclaimed for their visual intensification of our perception of reality. She has been awarded the Albert Renger-Patzsch Prize and has received numerous grants and fellowships, including a three-year working grant from the Danish Arts Foundation. Trine Søndergaard's work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions around the world and is wellrepresented in museum collections, for instance Museum of Fine Arts Houston-USA, MUSAC-Spain, Gothenburg Museum of Art-Sweden, The National Museum of Norway, The Israel Museum, Maison Européenne de la Photographie-France, and AROS-Denmark. Trine Søndergaard has published books with Steidl, Hatje Cantz, Hassla Books and FabrikBooks. Trine Søndergaard is represented by Martin Asbæk Gallery, Copenhagen, and Bruce Silverstein Gallery, New York.

Guillaume Souvant, AFP | The 18th-century manor of Pontourny, home to France's first de-radicalisation centre.
France's first centre aimed at de-radicalising would-be jihadists was unveiled in front of officials and journalists on Tuesday, part of government measures ordered in response to a wave of terrorist attacks on French soil.
The Centre for Prevention, Integration and Citizenship is housed in an isolated 18th-century manor known as the Château de Pontourny in central France. It is designed to host a maximum of 25 people aged between 18 and 30, the first of whom will arrive next month.
The €40 million government programme will see similar centres open in each of France's 12 regions. They will take in people referred by the justice system to try to stop them from being lured into jihadist networks that might brainwash them into performing terrorist acts.
Officials stressed that the selection would be on a "voluntary" basis from among candidates who have been radicalised but "are looking for a way out".
The "volunteers" will wear uniforms, receive medical and psychological support, and take classes in a variety of subjects including history, religion, philosophy and the media. Their day will start with the raising of the French flag at 6:45am.
Premier centre de prévention de la #radicalisation inauguré à #Pontourny.
But the decision to locate the centre in the Indre et Loire region of central France has prompted fury among locals, who protested outside the manor on Tuesday and complained of a lack of security guarantees.
Critics have also warned that the centres may ultimately backfire by fostering radicalisation rather than discouraging it, much the way the struggling French prison system does.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls has stated that the fight against homegrown jihadism is France's "biggest challenge since World War II".
The government believes that nearly 9,300 people in France have been radicalised, with the new plan aiming to have 3,600 participants within two years.
France remains on maximum alert after more than 230 people were killed in a series of terrorist attacks since January 2015.
Most of the attacks were carried out by people born or raised in France.
Will banning foreign funds for French mosques help combat terrorism?

Why We Are Making A Show About Pornography
Hector Macpherson Brown
Our New Site
Festival Installations
Jack Nurse
At the beginning of the summer months this year there was a gap in the Wonder Fools schedule. With '549' having just finished its first development period. This left room for a new project: something fresh and exciting. What emerged was an installation performance called 'This Is What You Look Like', a piece born out of our desire to connect with people outside of a traditional theatre environment.
The idea behind the installation is simple. An audience member sits at a desk with two performers; one performer has a conversation with the audience member whilst the other performer, behind a typewriter, listens to the conversation and composes a poem inspired by it. The poem is performed back to the audience member and gifted to them on a label, which they can stick to themselves for all to see or keep safe and treasured.
We hoped the installation would provide a fun way for Wonder Fools to meet lots of new people from lots of different backgrounds and create little bits of poetry together without even knowing it. The performance was initially developed with the National Theatre of Scotland's LEARN department, as part of a project called 'Tales from the Mall' which took place in the Forge Shopping Centre in Glasgow. Another hope for the installation was that it could take us into unorthodox locations, like the Forge, and free us from the rehearsal spaces and traditional theatre settings that we were used to.
The installation's notion of meeting new people in an intimate and vibrant setting seemed a perfect fit to one of the staples of Scottish and British summertime: the music festival. As anyone who has been to a festival will know, there lies in the rainy fields an eclectic mix of personalities with a burning desire to have new experiences, meet new people and have a good time – Wonder Fools in a nutshell then. There is an abundance of festivals in this country which combine music with a range of other art forms and so the Scottish festival circuit seemed an ideal environment to bring life to 'This Is What You Look Like'.
We have travelled across Scotland – from Moffatt in the South West to Inverness in the Highlands – presenting the installation. We've been fortunate to be situated in some incredible locations. At Kelburn Garden Party, near Fairlie in Argyle and Bute, we conversed and wrote poems atop a forest glen one day and the next we performed it all again under a waterfall. Whilst at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, we were surrounded by the vast beauty of the Highlands. In this sense then, we achieved our aim of transferring the work we do to new non-traditional settings – which feels an important step for Wonder Fools.
The biggest joy for us is reserved for the reaction of the audience. From hippies to hipsters, from grandparents to children; people are enthused that simple phrases or words that have come out of their own mouths can be made into a small piece of poetry. The tagline we use is 'Where the audience becomes the poet' and it's important for us, as with any work we make, that the performance feels inclusive and approachable. To walk around various festivals and see children, teenagers and adults all wearing labels with WF poetry typed on them was a very special way to spend our summer.
The aim now is to take 'This Is What You Look Like' to other unconventional settings. This begins on the 19th September where you can see us perform the installation in a Glasgow pub as part of the Glasgow North West Arts Trail. We hope to see you there.

MX3 is leveraging the convenience of saliva to test for hydration and empower athletes with real-time visibility into their personalized hydration data.
Dave Beeche, the managing director of the Oceania IRONMAN Group, said competing in IRONMAN at all levels is about maximizing performance to help make the impossible a reality.
"The IRONMAN Oceania operations team is very proud to have been working with MX3 throughout the year to provide hydration assessments of IRONMAN athletes in recovery tents post competition," Beeche said. "The innovative technology of MX3's Hydration Testing System is quickly becoming a valuable tool for IRONMAN coaches and athletes to help them optimize hydration management during training and recovery sessions in preparation for race day."
The MX3 Hydration System Pro Version is now available for preorder for individual or group sales. To order the system today or learn more, please visit: www.mx3diagnostics.com.

According to Skysports.com, Charlton are on the verge of signing of Senegal defender Souleymane Diawara.
Ian Dowie is keen on strengthening the squad after a less than impressive first few matches and sees the signing of a new defender as the perfect opportunity to sort out the number of goals we concede. Diawara has been long linked with a move to England and Charlton were carefully watching developments at Sochaux ready to pounce on the chance to lure him to the Valley, and it worked.
Both clubs have agreed a fee for the towering defender and a three year contract deal has already been negotiated by the club, having already passed his medical it is only a matter of completing the necessary formalities before Diawara becomes the latest addition to The Addicks.
This move is, personally, a welcome one in my eyes and is certainly a step in the right direction to securing a top 10 position.

The parish was set up  by Pope Pius XI, and the church opened for worship as the regional church of the Camerino region (served by diocesan clergy) in 1936. It was designed by Clemente Busciri Vici, with 3 naves, narrow side-aisles and a slightly slanting roof.

Pope Pius XII visited the church on 13 August 1943, the date of the second air bombardment of Rome, and two stones (along with a bronze door decorated with symbols of air warfare) commemorate this event and the names of bomb-victims in the parish. However, it was not formally consecrated until 1959 by Bishop Luigi Traglia.

You remember the moment: William Jefferson Clinton, 1992 Democratic National Convention, big grin on his face, accepting the nomination of his party while scanning the crowd for prospects. And in the background, Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop (Thinking About Tomorrow)" is blasting through the sound system and into America's living rooms.
A few months from now, John Kerry will likely be standing on a similar stage, accepting that same nomination to run against someone with the same name. What song should he pick?
Post the lyrics if you can find them, or just the song title.

PM Lee not invited to One Belt One Road Forum?
TL;DR – No cause for panic though.
China recently hosted a big party. They organised the first One Belt One Road (OBOR) Forum. It was a massive effort to get more countries and international organisations committed to China's OBOR initiative.
The OBOR is China's ambitious project to improve connectivity and cooperation between China and other nations in Europe and Asia. It comprises two main components: the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB)and the oceangoing Maritime Silk Road (MSR).
It was unveiled in September and October of 2013. The whole initiative is expected to span at least 65 nations. The total investment required to complete this ambitious project is estimated to be between USD4 trillion and USD8 trillion. All that money will go into massive infrastructural developments, mostly around transport and energy: roads, bridges, gas pipelines, ports, railways, and power plants.
The One Belt and One Road. Source.
Sounds great, why isn't Singapore involved?
First things first, Singapore IS involved. Singapore and China are working on the Chongqing Connectivity Initiative (CCI). The CCI was first discussed when PM Lee met President Xi Jinping in Beijing in 2014. It was launched by the two leaders during President Xi's State Visit to Singapore in November 2015.
Because the CCI has been designated a key priority demonstration project of the OBOR initiative. In other words, as early as November 2015, Singapore has already been working on a key project of OBOR initiative since November 2015. In a sense, that means that not only is Singapore involved in the OBOR initiative, we have had a head start over other countries.
So why wasn't PM Lee at the OBOR Forum?
PM Lee wasn't at the OBOR Forum. It seems like he wasn't invited. Some people wonder if that is because China is somehow upset with Singapore. Maybe China is still peeved that Singapore conducted military exercises in Taiwan. Can someone say Terrex?
Remember that the OBOR initiative is expected to involve at least 65 countries (aka the OBOR countries)? But only 20 head of states attended the OBOR Forum. In other words, the leaders of 45 OBOR countries did not attend the OBOR Forum.
Let's take a closer look at the group of nations that sent their leaders to the OBOR Forum and the group that didn't. Of those that attended, their nations have an average GDP per capita of about USD14,700. Comparatively, of those that didn't attend, their nations have an average GDP per capita of about USD25,000.
So… perhaps it's not all that strange that PM Lee didn't attend the OBOR Forum. After all, leaders of less than a third of the OBOR countries attended the OBOR forum. And Singapore is more like those that didn't attend than those that did. At least in terms of GDP per capita.
In addition, back to back with the OBOR forum in Beijing was a visit by someone touted to be the man to watch in China, Zhao Leji. Although hosted by DPM Teo, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also spared some time to meet with Zhao.
On a more serious note, perhaps the reason that PM Lee didn't attend was because both China and Singapore didn't see the need for him to be there.
One of the aims of the OBOR Forum was to convince the attendees to sign a joint communiqué endorsing its economic and diplomatic positions. Perhaps China felt that they can already count on Singapore's support without needing us to sign a communique.
How can China be so certain of our friendship and support? Well, the leaders of Singapore and China meet regularly.
PM Lee and President Xi have met each other numerous times. Other leaders of the two nations meet very regularly too. DPM Teo met China's Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli as recently as February 2017 at the Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC). At that meeting, Vice-Premier Zhang called the Singapore ministers who attended the meeting old friends, good friends and nee friends (老朋友,好朋友,新朋友). We had also written about this here.
Given the deep and long standing friendship between the two nations, perhaps China felt that they won't need to convince PM Lee to support their efforts to promote globalisation and international trade. They know they can depend on us. We have committed to helping China make the OBOR initiative a success. And what we have committed, we will deliver. Our word is our bond.
Also, another aim of the forum was to get Chinese investments abroad and encourage Chinese companies to go overseas. In that respect, this forum wasn't directly relevant to Singapore because we really don't need Chinese investments for infrastructural development. We have enough money of our own to do that.
Put these together, there really isn't a need for PM Lee to be at the forum. So it should not be too surprising that PM Lee didn't attend the OBOR forum. As a good friend, there's no need to feel insecure. We don't need to hoard our friend's time all to ourselves. We should let our friend have the time and space to do what she needs to do.
Editor's note – This is quite worth a read.
china already clearly said, LHL was not invited. so this isn't a myth. this is OFFICIAL carried by their state newpapers.
also to said it about chinese funding of other state is a misreading of OBOR. never was it implied OBOR was chinese funded exclusive. that is basically Singapore surrendering her interest of investing and developing the infrastucture of other countries, are you forgetting we have JTC and PSA that are always interested in managing park and port in other countries? did JTC and PSA business interest disappear suddenly? or are we being left behind?

One global conversation on human rights - Blog Action Day
Posted 12 Oct 2013, 2:31pm By Emerson
What does 'human rights' mean to you? What inspires you to take an action, or send a tweet or email about our work - or the work of Reprieve, Human Rights Watch, PEN or the many other human rights organisations?
On Wednesday, thousands of bloggers around the world are all going to tackle those questions and more, and post on the same topic - human rights. It's part of Blog Action Day, an initiative aiming to speak conversations about the some issues that affect us all, and we want you to join in.
Freedom of expression is something we often take for granted. But those freedoms online, on Twitter and on blogs, are being suppressed around as Governments very used to controlling tradtiional media struggle to keep the same level of control. We've seen social activists arrrested in Azerbaijan, Bahrain and Iran - just to name a few.
They're using their voice despite the risks. You can support them by using yours.
What could you blog about on Blog Action Day?
You could talk about what inspires you to take action on behalf of those suffering an injustice, such as the first case that inspired you to do more than read. Your story of standing up for human rights could inspire others to do the same! Or you could write about one of the campaigns we're working on at Amnesty - here's some food for thought:
Is the protest song dead? Can we make a difference with a song?
On Monday evening, Radio 1 are broadcasting a documentary about the protest song - Make Some Noise! They're speaking to artists like PJ Harvey, Billy Bragg, Kate Tempest, Scroobius Pip and many more on what makes a protest song and who's doing it well. They also spoke to Amnesty youth groups who entered our Protest Song competition last year, and how you can enter this year.
Do you think the protest song can make a difference? Can we change people's minds about what's right with art? You could publish a review, write your own protest song, or talk about Amnesty's Youth Awards.
To help you, we've got videos of Kate Tempest describing how to write the perfect protest song, and last year's wining songs from our competition
Will you stand up against Putin's crackdown against his critics?
As the Sochi Olympics gets closer, the attention is building on Russia. And Putin seems to have responded with more repression and a bigger crackdown on criticism, dissent and protest. It's not just Pussy Riot (whose two members still in jail are now in separate penal colony's) - the offices of Human Rights Watch and Amnesty have been raided under a new 'foreign agent' NGO bill, and prominent critics or protesters, such as Mikhail Kosenko has been sent to a mental institution for his part in the protest at Bolotnaya Square. A Moscow court has banned Gay Pride for 100 years, and you can be jailed for distributing 'homosexual propoganda', such as leaflets designed to help young people struggling with their sexuality.
You could write about how you've been inspired by activists such as Pussy Riot, or Stephen Fry's open letter to the IOC and David Cameron about the Sochi Olympics and LGBT rights. And you can take action by signing our new petition to President Putin, and encouraging your readers to do the same.
Do you think the Government should tell you how to dress?
In Sudan, the controlling government requires that all women do not wear close-fitting trousers or jeans, and that they cover their heair with a headscarf at all times. Amira Osman Hamed, a civil engineer and womens' rights activist has refused and faces a sentence of 40 lashes if convicted of 'indecent or imoral dress'. The law is intentionally vague leaving local police officers to decide what is 'imoral' and women are much more likely to be singled out under it. And the punishment, well, the punishment is another thing entirely.
You could read Amira's interview with AFP, and encourage your readers to take our urgent action.
Would you dare to be openly gay in Uganda?
Tuesday sees the first part of a new programme from Stephen Fry, 'Out There', who's spent some time searching out some of the most dangerous places in the world to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or intersex. Places like Iran, where being gay could land you the death penalty. In the first episode this week, he meets activists in Uganda, including a young women who suffered 'corrective rape'.
You could write about your own experiences of discrimination, and look at our latest reports on homphobia across Europe or Russia. You could encourage your readers to watch Stephen Fry's programme, or films such as Call Me Kuchu, and to join our LGBTI network to stand up for gay rights.
Or anything else!
Anything you want, around human rights. That's the beauty of Blog Action Day. Whatever you write on the topic, you're shining a spotlight on a story that needs to be told. Don't be silent.
Please tell us about your blogs - tweet them to @AmnestyUK and include #BAD13 or #BlogActionDay. We'll retweet some of the best, and we'll republish our favourite blog in the next few weeks.

Leon Vranken, Horizon, 2014, bricks, cement, steel struts, 9' 2 1/2" × 26' 4" × 16' 5".
"Paper-Scissors-Stone," the most recent show by Belgian artist Leon Vranken, got off to a powerful start with Flowing Line, 2014, a jet of water noisily shooting out of a circular pit cut into the floor, enclosed by a white railing. As with Study of a Vertical Line, 2013—the thirty-six-foot-high fountain and ascendable scaffolding structure that the artist erected at the Middelheim Musuem, an open-air sculpture park, in Antwerp, Belgium, last year—visitors could experience the top of the water jet, here by moving up one floor within the building. The fountain spouted right through a neat hole in the ground-floor ceiling, emerging upstairs as a modest squirt of water, once again encircled by a white railing. With the exception of the fountain, Vranken left the ground floor distinctly empty; he had stripped the spaces and returned the architecture to its bare state.

Clinda
This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Clinda, a clinical scientist in the genetics laboratory, shares her story of working in science at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
"When I was at university, it seemed like only doctors were able to impact a patient's health. Now, as a clinical scientist, I know that the background, indirect patient care that goes into diagnosis and treatment, shows that our work is also able to have an impact to patient management.
"I'm a clinical scientist in the genetics lab. I'm split across two teams at the moment. One team is in the 100,000 genomes project. Children who have rare diseases have been recruited into this study, often after a long diagnostic odyssey. Their whole genome is being sequenced - it's my job to analyse and determine the significance of the variants, take interesting variants to a multi-disciplinary team meeting, and report them, if required."
"I completed my bachelors in Molecular Genetics. I then wanted to do the Scientists Training Programme (STP), to become a clinical scientist. But I needed some work experience, because even though the entry requirement is only graduate entry-level, the quantity and calibre of applicants makes it hard to get into. You're up against PhD students and people who have lots of lab experience, so I felt like I needed some work experience to help my application stand out.
"I applied for a placement at GOSH to improve my application. Despite not getting the placement I applied for, GOSH were able to give me an alternative role. The role I did get was fantastic. It was to help out with work in the deafness team including receiving samples, carrying out the technical work in the labs, analysing results and writing reports to send back to the clinician. It was a wealth of laboratory experience. Unfortunately, I didn't get and STP offer that year, but I am convinced that I wouldn't have got as far as interview stage if I hadn't done summer work experience at GOSH."
"The following year, during my Masters in Human Molecular Genetics, there was an opportunity to do a six-month research project at GOSH with the non-invasive prenatal diagnosis team. This further helped my STP application and thanks to this experience, I received an offer for the STP!"
Working at GOSH
"After the STP course, three years later, I returned to GOSH for a fixed-term role that soon changed into a permanent role. I think that GOSH are really good at staff retention and nurturing people through their career path, me being an example. In terms of developing staff, there are a lot of opportunities!
"Another benefit to GOSH is the multi-disciplinary aspect between healthcare professionals and strong academic connections. We have direct input from clinicians regularly. The rich expertise by the Clinical Genetics clinicians downstairs, complement our work very well, enabling optimal and safe patient care.
"The GOSH reputation also appealed to me. GOSH is well-known for its calibre of professionals.There's an ongoing theme of bettering yourself - or what we call Continual Professional Development (CPD) - it's always striving to be the best, to keep learning and take on new challenges. It's allowed me to become involved in lots of exciting projects here."
Clinda's advice
"A big part of the work we do is creating reports which get sent to the clinicians and saved within the patient's notes. If you like being analytical, problem solving, paying attention to detail, with lots of challenges, this job is for you.
"Starting with work experience or placements is also a good thing - here you gain a lot of experience that you later on rely on once you're further up the career ladder."

Thank you for reading this year's news! See you all in september – Cheyanne Alston

Who's Better? Marvel or DC?
A common debate you'll find among superhero lovers, movie or comic, is which franchise is better: Marvel or DC?
Both franchises have released major team-up movies within the past five years? The most recents being Justice League (DC) and Avengers: Infinity War (Marvel). Justice League brought in $657.9 million in box office sales. However, Marvel had colossal success with Infinity War, bringing in a whopping $2.048 billion!
Looking at their most recent solo hero movies, DC released Aquaman in late 2018 and Marvel released Black Panther earlier that same year. So far, Aquaman has brought in $1.12 billion in box office sales. Black Panther brought in a total of $1.35 million and has won 76 awards so far.
In 2019, the first DC solo movie of the year will be Shazam!. The first Marvel solo movie of the year will be Captain Marvel. Shazam! is predicted to make $680-930 million in worldwide box office sales. On the other hand, Captain Marvel is expected to make between $700-890 million in worldwide box office sales.
Alright, that's enough statistics. What do the people think? Marvel is a favorite at our school for a multitude of reasons. "I really like the story line behind all the Marvel movies and how they all fit together," said Latin teacher, Mrs. Reaves. "The people are more attractive and the directing is better," said Sophomore Clarice Arnold. "DC movies, I feel like they don't have enough plot and it ends up being action scenes one after the other," said Reaves.
There have been arguments on behalf of DC, however. "I like the DC TV shows better, Marvel shows are too violent for me," said Reaves.
Both Marvel and DC are immensely successful enterprises as movie franchises and comic publishers. Though it seems Marvel is the fan favorite of the two superhero universes, DC has had more success at the box offices with a lower number of movies. (324)
Grinch Movie Comparison
The book-turned-movie, Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," was a 1966 blockbuster. Its two remakes in the 2000s have also done very well in the industry. There's only one question to ask: which is the best Grinch?
The original 1966 "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" has the highest rating on Rotten Tomatoes at 100%. Out of the three movies, this one stays the truest to the Dr. Seuss book. The 25 minute feature stays very simple, and doesn't go too far into depth about his life and why he hates Christmas so much.
The next movie that was released was Jim Carrey's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in 2000. Jim Carrey's portrayal of the Grinch was more sarcastic and merciless than the original. It has much more adult humor and seems to be geared for an older audience, rather than small children. This movie goes into depth about why the Grinch doesn't like Christmas – the people.
When the Grinch (Jim Carrey) was a young boy, he wanted to impress his crush, Martha May (who has a boyfriend), by shaving and giving her a homemade gift. When he shows up to school with Martha May's gift, he gets made fun of by all the kids for attempting to shave and bringing Martha May a present. From that day, he vows to forever hate Christmas.
The newest version of the Grinch was released on November 9, 2018. This movie's portrayal of the Grinch is much more mild than the others, probably in an attempt to make him more relatable and lovable than Jim Carrey's Grinch. This movie is once again geared towards a younger audience. There are many new characters introduced, like Cindy Lou Who's friends and Bricklebaum, but some were brought back. You still have Cindy Lou and Max, who have been in every Grinch movie thus far.
This movie submerges the audience into the magical world of Whoville and the Grinch's life, specifically where his hatred for Christmas stems from. As an orphaned child, he was never allowed to celebrate the holiday so beloved by the Whos. Christmas brings back the memories of his childhood looking at all the festivities going on outside, but never being allowed to participate.
All of these movies are amazing Christmas classics in different ways, but they all have one thing in common: the Grinch's hatred for Christmas. All three movies portray his reasoning for despising the season in a unique way, but they all end up circling back around to the materialistic aspects of the holiday season. The original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" doesn't go into depth about why he hates it, but it seems as though he hates the materialistic aspect and greediness of the holiday season.
Jim Carrey's version, the Grinch talks about the gifts and greediness and how useless it all is, an how much people get rid of. "That's what it's all about, isn't it? That's what it's always been about. Gifts, gifts… gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts, gifts! You wanna know what happens to your gifts? They all come to me. In your garbage. You see what I'm saying? In your garbage. I could hang myself with all the bad Christmas neckties I found at the dump."
The newest Grinch hates Christmas for the material things as well. You can see as the movie unfolds that the Grinch appreciates what he has and doesn't need anything else. His hatred stems from being unable to enjoy the material things. When he sees the Whos obsessing over what he was deprived of, it reminds him of his childhood and hardens his feelings towards the season.
The Grinch movies have been Christmas classics since 1966, all portraying the beloved stories and characters in their own ways. One thing that has remained constant is our love for these movies and watching them during the holiday season. (644)
Weird holiday traditions
by : Cheyanne Alston
From eating KFC, to carrying around horse skulls, there are some very weird and unique holiday traditions around the world. Here are just a few of them.
BEACH PARTY!
Considering Christmas comes in the middle of Australia's summer, it might not come as a shock that they don't go sledding through the snow and building snowmen. Instead they have barbecues on the beach for Boxing Day. They eat seafood such as prawns, lobsters and the traditional english foods. There's also a famous yacht race that's held from Sydney to Hobart in Tasmania.
CHRISTMAS GOAT
In Sweden it is a tradition in the town of Gavle [pronounced : yeah-vleh] to put up a giant straw goat. It comes from the northern European tradition of yule. Santa Claus sometimes rode a goat instead of his sleigh to help deliver presents. According to CBC, since the tradition started in 1966 it has been burned down 35 times. The town has tried everything to keep this goat from being attacked and destroyed, some years it works and their goat survives the holiday season, but most times it's not so lucky. In 2005, a group dressed as santa and gingerbread men shot flaming arrows at it. In 2009, people hacked into the security cameras so they could sneak in and catch fire to it. In 2010, two guys tried and failed to bribe one of the goat guards to let them use a helicopter to fly it away. They have been urged to stop building the statue but the town never has and says they never will.
THE POOPING FIGURINE
In Catalonia Spain, you can see a little pooping figurine in just about every nativity scene. Traditionally Caganer wears a white shirt and a traditional catalan hat, but in more recent years people can find figures that look like the most famous figures in the world. It is believed to have started appearing in sometime in the 18th century. Nativity scenes tend to represent pastoral scenes reminiscent of the local countryside with rural life. He appears squatting behind a tree or hidden in the corner of the nativity. This funny little figure is very controversial and a lot of people think it should be banned, but this little guy is still going strong.
A KFC CHRISTMAS
With only 1-2 percent of Japan's population celebrating Christmas it's no surprise that they don't have the same holiday traditions as us. According to Business Insider, approximately 3.6 million families rush to KFC every holiday season for their own 'Kentucky for Christmas' plate for the small price of only ¥2000-8000 ($20-80). The tradition started when foreigners couldn't find turkey on Christmas. This gave KFC of Japan's CEO the idea of 'Kentucky for Christmas' bucket, which comes with chicken, cake, and some locations even give you wine or champagne.
YULE LAD TROLLS
In Iceland, the tradition is for little kids to put their shoes on the window sill every night for the 13 days preceding Christmas. If the child was good that day then the next morning they wake up to find a present in their shoe. If they were bad though, they wake up to find… a rotting potato. Yes kids, that's right, you either get a splendid gift or a dying spud. The lore is that 13 trolls come down your chimney at night just like Santa Claus.
"Potatoes? Out of everything you could choose why Rotting Potatoes?" said Harley
MUMMERING
Dated back to the early 1800's, mummering is the tradition of deceiving your friends and neighbors. Brought to Norway by the English and Irish, this strange tradition is held during the Christmas season and involves people getting dressed up in ridiculous disguises, going into people you know's homes, and trying to spend the entire time there without being found out. Once the person is found out it, is custom to take off their mask.
"What is the point in this, like … that's so weird," said Aaron Hardin.
BLACK PETE
Zwarte Piet or Black Pete is a very controversial character from a story who follows Santa around and helps out. He is apart of the St. Nicholas festival on December 5. Black Pete first appeared in a story book by Jan Schenkman in 1850. The reason for this character being so controversial is the fact that people who dress up as him paint their faces black. This, to many, is a form of black face and many want it to be banned.
"That's so racist, obviously it's controversial." said Ezabai Diaz
KIVIAK
This 'delicious' Greenland food is made from a seal carcass stuffed with auk (birds) that are left in a pile of stones outside to ferment for three months. The auk are put in the seal with their birds, feathers and all. They open it up and eat it during the holidays.
"That sounds like the grossest thing ever," said Shannon Maggord.
CAROLING WITH HORSE SKULLS!
This is definitely the most unique tradition we could find. In Wales, people put real horse skulls on poles, cover it and themselves with a sheet, decorate it, and go around the neighborhood asking people riddles. If they answer correctly they get food and treats. There are also people who dress up and follow the puppeteer around.
"Wait real skulls? What?!" – Sydney (881)

Today most online casinos provide you with interesting games for high rollers. You can choose among various slots, video poker or table games. There are also numerous promotions for those who prefer to play with high bets. Here you can find the list of the most reliable high roller online casinos that offer you high-quality service and exciting gambling experience. You can choose among various casino software providers represented by such companies as Microgaming, RTG, Topgame, Vegas Technology, 888, Playtech, etc. Note that some of them don't accept USA players.
How to Choose High Roller Casino?
As a rule, each online casino tries to provide a wide range of high roller games. The other thing is the maximum bet allowed for every game. For example, you can play slots that allow you to bet maximum $250 while others provide you with the opportunity to bet $1,000 per spin. Such differences depend on the casino software as well as the games you prefer to play. We offer you to read the reviews of the most popular online casino games that can be appreciated by high rollers and make the right choice.
Slots are the games of luck. There are no strategies or skills required to play these amazing games and win. All you need is to look for a slot with various coin sizes provided as well as great jackpots offered. You also should pay attention to such thing as coins per line allowed. All these influences on the maximum bet you can play with.
For example, RTG slot games are quite easy to sort out, because most of them allow betting 1 coin per line only and the maximum coin size of $5.00. In other words, if you want to play 5-reel 20 line slot machine the maximum bet will be $100. In case you choose 5 reel 25 line slot, the maximum bet is $125.
Quite simple to calculate and choose. However, not all casino software providers offer you such games. For example, Microgaming slots allow you to bet 10 or 20 coins per line that also influence greatly the maximum bet as well as the top jackpot you can get. Moreover, casinos from such big developers like to please their slots with multiple bonuses and in-game features, which we'll describe further.
Today most welcome bonuses allow you to play various slots with free cash. The wagering requirement for such games is lower if compare with table games or video poker. Thus, you can keep betting while meeting such requirement and be able to withdraw your winnings. Some online casinos also offer you Free Spins as a part of Sign Up bonus. It is also an opportunity to try the game and decide whether you really like it. You also can look for online casinos that provide you with No Deposit bonus. Such bonuses can vary from $7 up to $5,000. Usually, such huge no deposit bonuses allow you to play for an hour with free cash. So, don't waste your time after registering an account.
Progressive slots can be appreciated by high rollers as well as by beginners. Some of them hit at random, while others require special combinations on the payline. Almost all multiline RTG slots provide you with the opportunity to win random progressive jackpots. In other words, it doesn't matter whether you win during main spins and how much you bet, because such impressive prizes can be won after any spin at random.
In case you don't want to install casino software on your computer, you can try flash no download version. Thus, you can play directly through the browser anywhere you have an Internet connection.

Raleigh - Cary Home Reviews & Real Estate News!
Tour one of the Triangle and Metro Raleigh Areas - Apex North Carolina.
Hi Carla, Now that you have helped us to both buy and sell our homes, I wanted to thank you for all you have done. 1) Buying- After setting us up with internet notices for all the neighborhoods and zips we were interested in, you kept close watch and alerted us to homes even before we could see them. Result: we bought just the home at just the price in just the neighborhood we wanted. 2) Selling- Your staging and honest council about how to present our home to sellers the very best way resulted in a contract in 10 days and closing 45 days from the listing date. Can it get any better than that?

Q: Restricting minimum length of email ONLY for Gmail logins Regex So, there is a task to match emails in an input agains some certain conditions. Most of them are fulfilled. All of them, actually, except one.
So, user emails have to be up to 30 characters long, but they cannot be shorter than 6 only for gmail users (the part before the @). Other types of email can have even shorter emails.
Please help me find a correct regexp!
My current one is:
^((?!.*?\.\.)[a-zA-Z0-9\.]{1,30})\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})$

A: Using a case insensitive match, you could write the pattern as:
^(?!.*?\.\.)(?:[a-zA-Z0-9.]{1,30}@(?!gmail\.com$)(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4}|[a-zA-Z0-9.]{6,30}@gmail\.com)$

The pattern matches:

*

*^ Start of string

*(?!.*?\.\.) Assert not .. to the right

*(?: Non capture group for the 2 alternatives

*

*[a-z0-9.]{1,30} Match 1-30 chars specified in the character class

*@(?!gmail\.com$) Match @ and assert not followed by gmail.com

*(?:[a-z0-9-]+\.)+[a-z0-9]{2,4} Match 1+ repetitions of the character class and . and match 2-4 chars of the second character class

*| Or

*[a-zA-Z0-9.]{6,30}@gmail\.com

*) Close non capture group

*$ End of string

Regex demo

const regex = /^(?!.*?\.\.)(?:[a-zA-Z0-9.]{1,30}@(?!gmail\.com$)(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4}|[a-zA-Z0-9.]{6,30}@gmail\.com)$/i;
[
  "testing@test.com",
  "t@gmail.com",
  "t@test.com",
  "testing@gmail.com"
].forEach(s => console.log(`${s} --> ${regex.test(s)}`));

A bit shorter way to write it could be asserting not 1-5 characters before gmail.com:
^(?!.*?\.\.)(?![a-z0-9.]{1,5}@(?=gmail\.com$))[a-z0-9.]+@(?:[a-z0-9-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4}$

Fifty Years After Martial Law, Activists Are Combating Historical Revisionism to Hold Leaders Accountable

Hairstylists fight for share of $9.5 million lottery prize won by co-worker
Published Thursday, February 28, 2013
Seven hairstylists who are fighting for a share of a $9.5 million lottery prize bought by a co-worker at an Indianapolis salon testified Wednesday that they had all agreed to share any winnings from tickets purchased at the same time as those for an office pool.
Marion County Judge Heather Welch said she will decide by Friday whether to freeze the jackpot until the dispute over the ticket is settled.
Hairstylist Christina Shaw has maintained that the winning ticket in the Feb. 16 Hoosier Lotto drawing was one she bought for herself, not one of the tickets she purchased for the group. But the other hairstylists testified that Shaw bought the ticket at the same time and place she bought those for the pool — something they said they had all agreed not to do.
Lucy Lewis Johnston, who owns Lou's Creative Styles, said buying a personal ticket with pool tickets would make it impossible "to determine which was whose ticket."
Hairstylist Linda Sue Stewart said that's why they had all agreed that any such tickets "were all considered part of the pool."
A parade of current and former salon employees all testified to the agreement and said all of the women who played the lottery — including Shaw — knew the rules.
Shaw did not attend the hearing, and her attorney didn't take part.
Wednesday's hearing dealt solely with whether the $9.5 million payout should be frozen until the court can determine to whom the winning ticket actually belongs. Welch issued a temporary restraining order last week barring the Hoosier Lottery Commission from awarding the prize money to Shaw for 10 days.
The lottery commission isn't opposing the proposed injunction.
Bryan Corbin, a spokesman for the Indiana Attorney General's Office, which represents the commission, said the agency "takes no position on the preliminary injunction or on the merits of the dispute between the stylists. The commission's only interest is in paying the proper claimant. The ticket-ownership decision is solely up to the court to determine, not the commission, which does not have the authority to decide ownership."
A lottery spokesman didn't immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press seeking comment.
The women filed into the elevator outside the courtroom without talking to reporters.
Attorney Scott Montross, who represents the hairstylists fighting for a share of the prize, told reporters after the hourlong hearing that his clients were more hurt than angry.
"They're disappointed that it came to this," Montross said. "They're much more disappointed than they are angry."

Eastbourne Ordinariate Mission
A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
A Sad Week
As some of you may have noticed from our Facebook page, this is a sad week for us. On Wednesday night, our member John Pope died. He had been ill with cancer and had known it was terminal for many months.
John was raised a Catholic, but spent many years involved with the Church of England, including being on General Synod. He became a member of the Ordinariate a couple of years ago, when his wife, Val was received into full communion with Rome at our Easter Vigil. He will be sorely missed by our group.
We ask for your prayers for his soul and for Val and their family at this time.

How Trump's Dimwitted Outrage Peddlers are Fomenting Violence
By Leon H. Wolf | Apr 10, 2016 2:21 PM ET
I don't think I'm going out on much of a limb here when I say that the average Donald Trump supporter does not really understand the delegate allocation process. And, really, who can blame them when it's clear that Donald Trump himself does not understand the delegate allocation process.
Nothing whatsoever has transpired thus far that is not completely within the rules, and yet Trump has convinced his followers that the election is somehow being "stolen" from them. See, the handful of people on team Trump who have two brain cells to rub together know that intimidation of GOP delegates is the last play they have, and they know that the best way to do that is to whip a bunch of angry, loud, profane people (who will unironically be waving signs proclaiming themselves the "silent" majority) into a frenzy.
So every time Trump loses delegates under the rules because his campaign sucks and is run by incompetents (which were hired by the Incompetent-in-chief himself, Donald Trump), they ratchet up the rhetoric even further.
Enter one of the craziest (and most dimwitted) Trump supporters on the whole Internet, Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit, to fan the flames even further. Today, Hoft is delivering one of his trademark missives with random words in all caps, declaring that "Rep. Chris Collins: DONALD TRUMP Could Likely Sweep ALL 95 DELEGATES in New York State (VIDEO)."
First of all, "could likely" is nonsensical, and to the extent that it makes sense at all, it contradicts itself. And second, the basis for the post:
As reported earlier— Currently Trump is polling greater than 54% in New York. The state primary held on April 19th allocates 14 out of 95 delegates to the overall winner. The winner in each congressional district takes 3 delegates if he wins over 50% of the vote in the district while a candidate must clear 20% of the vote in order to win any delegates in a district.
Trump leads in the latest polling with 54% support.
Two things. First, even if Trump does have 54% of statewide support, the chances that he will get over 50% in every single one of New York's 27 Congressional districts is nearly zero. I mean, might as well be absolutely zero, in terms of probabilities. It would be pretty much impossible for Trump to sweep all 27 districts (with over 50%) unless he pulls at least in the mid-60s statewide. Second, we have seen over and over and over again that Trump's support has been vastly overstated by the polls, in virtually every contest that has occurred thus far.
So in reality, the chances that Trump will actually sweep all 95 delegates are zero. Less than zero, almost. No one with a functioning brain is saying it will happen. In Trump's personal best-case scenario, Trump would be ecstatic if he walks away with 85 delegates next Tuesday.
But Trump supporters always put up this kind of BS story with this kind of BS headline. The end result is that when Trump definitely doesn't sweep all 95 delegates next Tuesday (and in fact probably walks away with less than 70) the Trump supporters will once again believe that the system is cheated them somehow. It won't matter that the facts will clearly show otherwise; people who actually take direction from Jim Hoft aren't really able to discern truth from fiction pretty much no matter what anyway. What matters is that it will feed this narrative of a "stolen election" and will foment more possible violence in Cleveland.


As with so many major cities in Asia, the ancient and the modern exist side-by-side.
The guy on the right is dancing a jig, I think. They are hidden under the eaves, and I only spotted this group because I was looking up in awe as the heavens opened and the rain poured down.
Posted: under Blogging, Blogs, Conspiracy Theories, Politics & New Media.
I've been in Yangon for more than two weeks now, and I'm starting to run into the outer edges of what is allowed here on the internet.
First, Netflix and Apple Music work here. So I'm able to (pretty much) update the apps on my iPhone and download & watch movies. Which is nothing short of amazing, really.
It gets about 1/3 of the way to connected, and then it just … stops.
I don't know if this is a temporary of a permanent condition. However, in talking to the locals, there is a lot of controversy over a Telecommunications Law, that is known as Rule 66. This basically holds that if you "defame" someone on the internet, that is a crime and you go to jail.
Cartoon courtesy of the Irrawaddy blog here in Myanmar.
… but any third party can denounce someone else. So basically, if I see that you've said something – anything – online that might be construed as negative, EVEN IF IT'S NOT ABOUT ME, I can go running to the authorities and have you locked up.
The previous parliament approved the Telecommunications Law in October 2013 to liberalise the sector and encourage private investment. While the law has certainly achieved that aim – billions of dollars of investment have been pumped into telecoms since licences were awarded to the country's first two foreign mobile operators in 2014 – its provision on defamation has also been used to stifle comment online, particularly on Facebook.
Section 66(d) of the law forbids anyone from "extorting, coercing, restraining wrongfully, defaming, disturbing, causing undue influence or threatening any person by using any telecommunications network", and carries a possible prison term of three years.
The section is a stark reminder that the Telecommunications Law is as much a product of the military regime as the Thein Sein era. Reports from as far back as 2008 indicate that the junta wrote the initial draft.
Find the flaw in THAT law. Sheesh.
The good news is that there are a lot of people here that are realizing that the current law, as written, is unwieldy and wide-open to abuse.
The bad news is that rather than junking it, the effort underway seems to be to instead replace it with something that is more narrowly construed to target the press.
