My recent years has grown economically but still
My wish to become a midwife comes from a long-held
desire to care for others and an interest in pregnancy, birth and post–partum
care. The inspiration behind the pursuit of a career in midwifery is my aunt,
who worked as a midwife in disadvantaged areas, from remote Scottish villages
to the favelas of Brazil. The idea of being there to support, advise and
empower women in their journey to welcoming new life has inspired me to return
to university and strive towards my dream of being a qualified midwife.
I'm very proud to have earned a 2:1 BA (Hons) in
Festival and Events Management. I learnt invaluable lessons in time keeping and
commitment, especially in third year when I was juggling a full-time placement
and part-time job along with a busy social life. Since graduating, I have been an
events coordinator for a large hotel chain and a restaurant supervisor. As an events
coordinator I was challenged to organise a range of personal engagements. I had
to be an attentive listener and sensitive communicator to ensure that clients were
supported and their detailed and often last minute requests were met. I feel
the skills acquired in this role would be transferable to midwifery: organisation,
compassion, an ability to listen and to be adaptive to change. I also feel my
promotion to supervisor, where my responsibilities include managing service
operations, responding considerately to any customer grievances, training new
employees and cash handling demonstrates that my leadership skills have been
recognised by others and that I am a trustworthy.
It is important to me to help children have the best
start in life, regardless of their background. My senior years of education
were spent in Azerbaijan, a country that in recent years has grown economically
but still struggles with immense poverty. Whilst living there, I learnt to
speak Russian, which allowed me to integrate with the people and explore the
culture of Azerbaijan. Volunteering at a state orphanage, where conditions for the
children, babies and even staff were harrowing and accesses to resources were
scarce was a transformative experience. Despite being of a different religious
and cultural background, I felt confident enough to strike up conversation with
the nurses and carers whilst providing empathy and support, and I've since
realised that these experiences shape the force driving me towards a career in
midwifery. I have always wanted to make sense of how societies work and most
importantly work together. I often think about how something like the Scottish
Government's baby box scheme would have been beneficial for the children of the
orphanage in removing some of the poverty related stigma they faced whilst
providing essential items. The role a midwife plays in implementing the scheme
for all newborns is critical and again another example of why I have chosen
this as a life long career.
Having read the course curriculum, I am enthusiastic
about all of it, but I am particularly looking forward to working on placement,
where I can interact with clients and further develop my interpersonal skills
to hopefully influence positive outcomes. I also look forward to learning about
social issues surrounding pregnancy and the role a midwife plays in a multidisciplinary
team in helping clients. If I project four years in the future, I have hopes of
being registered with the NMC working for the NHS, practicing to deliver a
consistent and high level of care within a community.
I hope you will consider my application, I realise
that this will seem a total sea change in career choice, however I am
absolutely certain that a career as a midwife is one I wish to follow.

Selling Word of Mouth — MAD STRATEGIES Inc.
Let me ask you this: has anyone ever come out, point blank and told you, directly and explicitly, that BMWs were status symbols and more to be coveted than, say, Hondas?
What about Polo or Lacoste clothing? Is it because of explicit word of mouth recommendations that you somehow feel that those brands make better polo shirts than The Gap?
The vast majority of our brand hierarchies and preferences have been formed apart from explicit WOM endorsements. These things rest not so much on what your buddy has said, but what the infamous "they" say. Or rather don't say, but strongly intimate and suggest.
Mass Media effectively shapes brand preference. Few people want to believe they're "susceptible" to advertising, that they can't immediately discount a paid for message as obviously biased. And intellectually, they're right, at least in the short term.
When we first hear an ad message, we take all claims with a large grain of salt in light of the obvious self-interest and bias involved in the message.
Of course, the customer experience or product reality has to be aligned with the brand promise / advertising message. Fail to deliver on your advertising's promises and you'll just go out of business faster. And it's easier to create a new brand preference where none previously existed than to dislodge an already established brand preference.
But buying this kind of putative WOM can be done, despite what the more militant (and misguided) social media types might tell you.
And done rather easily at that, at least when it comes to most local and medium sized businesses. I mean, do you currently have a strong brand preference for carpet cleaners? Or power washers, roofers, flooring stores, bicycle shops, deck builders, HVAC guys or any of the other hundred things and services sold in your local town?
Some of us might, from prior experience, be able to recommend a provider for one or two of those categories, but not most of them. And that's where an intelligently run radio campaign could make any better-than-average provider of those things a king in his category – the one "they" say is the best choice; the local brand at the top of the customer's preference hierarchy.
My Wizard of Ads partners and I bestow such crowns (and riches) on clients all the time. All it takes is a business with the guts to embark on an aggressive ad campaign and an ad writer who knows your business and knows what he's doing.
If you've got the guts, I know an ad writer I could recommend – "they" say he's the best.


Is starting your own business part of your plans for 2018? If yes, there are few things better than feeling you're taking charge of your own career. Have you already considered every aspect when it comes to running a business?
From the creation to the delivery of products and services, tools and equipment are essential to the efficient operation of any business. Even if you're just running an online startup business from your home, you still need at least a good computer and fast internet connection.
Tools and equipment become even more important if you're starting big and need to have a manufacturing or packaging machine custom-made by a supplier to operate your business.
Paksmart notes that setting up your business in the right location can contribute greatly to the overall growth of your venture. For one, a place that is located in busy areas with a lot of people traffic can help promote your business and increase sales.
Conversely, the cost of rent can affect profits, so you must carefully balance sales opportunities and rental costs. If you're operating from home, location is still important in terms of your home's proximity to your clients, suppliers, and service providers like banks and the post.
A business cannot run without someone behind it. Ask yourself if you can operate your business all on your own. If you can't, hire some staff. You don't need to have an army of people, though, because sometimes an employee or two with the right skills and attitude can already get the job done.
From your end, give your staff decent wages, benefits, and work hours, provide them regular training and support them in their other endeavours.
Starting a business is a great career move, but it also means taking the time to consider many factors before making your move.

Capture your creativity and share it with the world right from your iPad.
The perfect tool for any vocalist - whether exploring a musical idea, recording in a studio, or playing live.
Voice Jam Studio is the world's most powerful vocal effects processor and looping app - a springboard for your creativity.
This is your vocal studio. You can bring it anywhere.
Voice Jam Studio recognizes that today's artist must cater in large part to YouTube and social media outlets to reach and inspire audiences. The integrated performance recorder is the first ever in-app recorder that captures singing, vocal effects, looping, external apps through Audiobus, artist video from the front facing camera, as well as all of the artist's interactions with Voice Jam Studio's graphical user interface, all combined into one video instantly uploadable to YouTube or exportable for 3rd party social media sharing.
Voice Jam Studio a remarkably well-rounded app that does a phenomenal job with vocal processing and editing... Not a single feature strikes me as half-baked.
Build out your ideas from sketch to full composition.
Record up to 4 fully independent stereo loop tracks(expandable to 8 track with option In-App Purchases), with up to 8 minutes per loop. And with four levels of undo and redo per track, you can swipe between them to correct past mistakes or compare takes.
All loops set to Beat Sync will have all actions quantized to the nearest beat. Loops won't necessarily be synchronized to each other, but will always stay in sync with respect to the metronome.
All loops in the Loop Sync group will act on loop boundaries. This means all track set to loop syncs will be guaranteed to be in sync with each other.
Only one loop within a serial group can play/record at a time. This is great for building music structure.
Unlock tempo synchronization for a loop if you'd like to play it rapidly like a sampler, or scrub it, or record a loop that loops to the beat of its own drum.
Use standalone, or with other audio apps and devices.
VoiceJam Studio takes you to the leading edge of looping with the ability to connect with other apps through Apple Inter-App Audio, Audiobus, and AudioCopy. It also synchronizes to external MIDI devices connected to the iPad. With optional In-App Purchase for "External Control" you can take full advantage of VoiceJam Studio's MIDI capabilities - Loop hands free, or integrate with your keyboard rig.
This means that you can choose your favorite drum app to start your beat, go to your guitar app to lay down your chords, and stream all of this into Voice Jam Studio to continue to build more depth into your performance.
Capture and share your creativity right from your iPad.
Enable the integrated video capture feature to share your music video directly with your friends, your fans, and the world via Facebook, YouTube and Soundcloud. You can even capture your real-time production decisions and looping actions.
Voice Jam Studio offers a deep set of features and controls that give you plenty of options for enhancing your performance in real-time.

Behind the "Failed Revolution": Becoming Patriots, or the Work of Shame in Belarusian Protests
This article looks at the politics of shame in relation to the suppressed protests of December 2010 that challenged the re-election of Aliaksandr Lukashenka as president of Belarus (1994–present). My empirical data consist of independent media publications, blog posts, and interviews that speak of "shame" as an emotional response to the protest, its aftermath, and its general context. The article investigates what lines of social differentiation are animated in the circulation of shame discourse, how ashamed subjects are constructed and positioned in this process, and what shame does in relation to protest and its community. Theoretically it engages with discussions on the ambivalence of shame in constructing national narratives and in social movement struggles. The findings suggest that shame, employed as a marker of a patriot of a "non-existent Belarusian nation" and "failed democracy," creates multiple divisions along the lines of class, civic engagement, and political views. This in turn curtails social mobilization, and ultimately contributes to making social change unimaginable in the present.

Continental has upgraded its sponsorship of the Tour de France for the 2019 edition of the race. The brand will also be in charge of the supply of tires for official vehicles and bicycles for a number of WorldTour teams.
On the sixth of July at the Grand Depart in Brussels, Continental will launch its second year at the French grand tour and its first as a main partner alongside LCL, E.Leclerc, Krys and Skoda as the stage winning presenter.
Bahrain-Merida, Groupama-FDJ, Movistar, Katusha Alpecin, Team Sky and Sunweb will start in the Tour de France with the Competition Pro LTD tire, the high-end product designed and produced in Korbach, Germany. The official vehicles of the race will also have the latest Continental car tire, the PremiumContact 6, produced in Sarreguemines, France.
The logo of the brand will be visible on the finish line arch as well as on the "flamme rouge" which indicates the arrival to the last kilometre of each stage. At the podium ceremony, a representative of Continental will hand over the trophy to the stage winner.
"The joy of winning a stage is a daily emotion on the Tour de France," said Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme. "The rider that lifts his arms at the finish line, whether he is a many-time victor or takes his only career win, surely experiences one of the highlights of his life.
"Continental associates its image to these thrills, which are also linked to the notion of performance, defended at the highest level by the brand of tyres. The Tour champions, from Brussels to Paris via Saint-Etienne, the Tourmalet or Nîmes, will recognize themselves in this quest for excellence that defines Continental."
Nikolai Setzer, Head of Tire Division of Continental, also welcomed the news. "We are delighted to play a major part in the biggest cycling race in the world in 2019," he explained.
"Being the stage winning partner of the Tour de France fits perfectly to our core value of 'passion to win'. We are very much looking forward to contributing to the race with our wide range of high-performance tires."

Use your student housing as a base to explore a city bursting with festivals, events and great places to eat out. Walk past stunning 19th century architecture as you explore the downtown area, and pause to flick through the vinyl on sale at Wonder Records. Plan trips to museums and galleries like Larkin Arts. Pick up art supplies or take a workshop to get your creative juices flowing. At the weekend, you can cycle and hike in the surrounding valley along trails, or go fishing and camping. Fill your evenings with trips to theaters like the intimate Court Square Theater, or relax over cocktails and Asian tapas at Beyond.
There'll be no need to set your alarm early when you live at Copper Beech at Harrisonburg, because you're a short five-minute drive from James Madison University. If you don't want to drive, you can cycle there in around 15 minutes, or jump on the bus that runs regularly right by your home and be there in a quarter of an hour. Get to know the downtown area easily by cycling around the bike-friendly city, or take drives to explore the parks and surrounding valley.
When it's time to get on with your studying, connect to the high-speed internet and settle down at the desk in your bedroom. Change into something more comfortable from the walk-in closet if you feel like it – the washer dryer in your apartment will mean keeping things clean is a breeze. Shower in your private bathroom and get ready for class, then make yourself breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen.
After a busy day, pass by the pools on your way to the lounge area or games room. Play a game of pool, or use the basketball or volleyball courts with a group of friends. But if you just want a quick workout, you can always squeeze in a session with the weights or a pedal on the exercise bikes in the fitness center.
Later on, sit outside on the deck back home and chat to your housemates surrounded by Copper Beech at Harrisonburg's landscaped gardens. On-site management and courtesy officers mean you won't have to worry about a thing while you're living here.

Waited 12 years, out of FEAR of bribery.
In 2004, Muthuselvi applied for a ration card and was demanded a bribe, she dropped her efforts and did not hold Ration Card for the last 12 years out of fear of bribery. When she applied for it again this year they asked her for Rs.2000 as the bribe. When she approached 5th Pillar, they helped her file Right to Information Act [RTI] petition on 26.07.2016 to PIO of Civil supplies and Consumer Protection Department. To her wonderment officials turned up in 23 days to deliver the Ration Card, the news came as a relief for the family which lasted for a decade long.


This week has been crazy! On Monday, Darren and I bounced all over the place from Ryn Weaver at the Irenic, to !!! at Casbah, to the Hideout, which was closing, then to The Office for David J. The rest of week was awesome, too, between Hot Chip & Yacht, and last night with The Struts and Big Bad Buffalo, my mind was kinda blown. Plus we had a fun beach day, had a few nice family dinners out, hung out at Waterfront Park, and now Nova is back in school. Tonight I'm bartending (!) in the Casbah lounge of Tiki Oasis and tomorrow I'll be slinging merch for Fu Manchu. Hopefully sitting in an air conditioned room or submerging myself in water somewhere is in the cards for this scorching weekend. Friday through Sunday archives are after the jump.

FIA's Hubert crash report "raises more questions than answers" – Correa

FlyingLobster27 proposes an alternative to the current F1 superlicence points system:
Lay out a list of 'tier-2' single-seater championships (in my opinion only F2, IndyCar, Super Formula qualify): at least one feature race win (not due to a reverse grid) in those makes you eligible for F1.
Lay out a list of 'tier-3' championships (international F3, Indy Lights, Eurocup Formula Renault, Formula E until performance increases): at least a title at that level makes you eligible for F1.
Lay out a list of 'tier-4' championships from which you absolutely cannot make the jump to F1 (typically Formula 4 and lower).
Finally, the 'unlisted', all non single-seater series (prototypes, GT, touring cars, rally, motorcycling): discretionary, but you should have at least one title in a reasonably high-performing category with a reasonably international field, definitely backed up by F1 testing experience and some free practice benchmarking.
No particular length of validity providing the drivers are competing regularly. Drivers coming back from a lengthy break would have to fall into the 'discretionary' class.
Downside is, this is still a system that the FIA could have used, albeit less subtly, to favour its ladder and demolish the junior formula landscape. Talent-wise, it wouldn't change much (Max Chilton, Yuji Ide and Ricardo Rosset met these criteria), but it would just make things more straight-forward. And it still does what the points system set out to do: to disqualify future Max Verstappens (and Jenson Buttons 15 years earlier) who are in a hurry to be yanked out of the junior categories.

AlexS
Why the hell Brawn has to put its nose in what teams do? next will he criticize their silverware?
His silliness of reversed grids and other signs show me if no one stops him he will go to be a tyrant.
If he was just a TV commentator, journalist , that would be okay even if para-sport, but he has an official position.
Darryn Smith (@darryn)
Yeah. Brawn has always cared about one thing only and that is lining his pockets. I can't believe this cheat is still in F1 and Flavio isn't.
Paul Duggan
Why can't I upvote this?
bosyber (@bosyber)
AlexS at first I also wondered what's the deal, but, when looking at how F1 can save costs (and help the stated FIA/Liberty/F1 goal of becoming climate neutral!), those motor-homes clearly aren't essential to racing. Though the teams will probably argue they are important to get the sponsorship money in, I have to agree with him that given the improving/improved quality of facilities at tracks, that might not actually be the case any more.
Paul Duggan – well, exactly for that reason, I expect: just upvoting isn't very interesting in a discussion (other than popularity contest) – @darryn I have to say I would wish you had provided some more context to that.
Because from what you write, and the fact that Brawn took the risk to go ahead with his own team/car he knew could win, and thus give the team itself, and the people in it, a future in F1, save jobs, motivation rather than cash out, after he helped build the legend of Schumacher at Ferrari, so I have to doubt your opinion, at the least.
Especially when adding in Flavio, who clearly was a crafty manager for several drivers, and who gave Michael Schumacher a team where he could shine and develop, but also in doing that might have helped shape Schumacher as being cutthroat and willing to cheat on track (and maybe off track, but no proof of traction control and that sort of thing). As a team leader, it's a mixed bag, taking 10 years after Schumacher to get his team back to that level with Alonso. He also definitely orchestrated the 2008 Singapore crash, and worked to cover it up, leading to Crashgate (maybe not directly for money, but for the team); Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to find out expect he is one reason Alonso tried to blackmail McLaren (he was his manager, right?) leading to Spygate, and clearly didn't help Alonso get the team he needed at the right time there or afterwards, or we would have seen more than two WDC's there – so, maybe not such a great manager either.
Brawn at the moment seems a positive force, while Flavio, well, has been around a lot of bad things happening in the sport, and doesn't have much good to offer from here on in, as far as I can see/read.
Upvoting is good. Also I'm very sure that Darryn's comment was heavy with sarcasm.
you can't deny those enormous motorhomes are a waste. If the organizers can arrange circuits to adapt their facilities to have hospitality units like those seen in flyaway races, why bother with those trucks? it's one of those things that could easily be gone after some investment.
I agree with Brawn. If they want to be eco, carrying those around Europe isn't right… it's not essential to racing.

I agree @fer-no65.
And even the argument that teams need them to raise sponsorship, I feel is weak. If no team had them they'd be on a level playing field, sponsors will still be given paddock access etc and wooed in other ways.
It reminds me a little of the tabacco ban in that the companies benefitted from no longer having to pay to compete with their rivals.
Teams don't use them to raise sponsorship, exactly. They're payback for the sponsors, who get to entertain guests in them.

The FIA should take a cue from the aviation industry and make every crash report that they produce public. I'm actually surprised that isn't the case already.
Good point @paulk, the FIA still doesn't seem to take itself quite serious enough, too often functioning like the gentleman's club it started out as.
@paulk I can see why the full WADB is not public-facing – the data involved is protected by GPDR personal data controls. Therefore anyone involved in FIA sport would have to approve of their personal details potentially being in the database. Granted, drivers wouldn't be in the database to a level of detail exceeding the implied disclosure from participating (though legally they have to be allowed to opt out of being named in WADB), but it could be a problem for recruiting officials, especially marshals, if involuntary revelation of things like their names was to occur due to a minor incident. There's enough trouble recruiting marshals as it is!
The surprise, to me, is that there isn't a public-facing anonymised/semi-anonymised summary version of major and interesting (the latter by FIA definition) accidents accessible to the public. Granted, it would probably be updated considerably later than the WADB because it would by definition be removing most of the information (most of the time, an honest, clear, logical and concise document of 2-3 pages would do). However, even a mini-database that lagged somewhat behind the "main" version and lacked a lot of the information would be helpful in aiding supporter understanding and disseminating information to participants in FIA-regulated series that might not have access to the WADB.
The aviation database long predates GPDR, is worldwide (not based in a specific country) and exists because the FAA has enough power to continue to be exempt from things like the GPDR to the extent that it might otherwise have applied (as well as enough agreement from various stakeholders in air travel to be able to enforce that exemption). The FIA didn't have the idea soon enough to get grandfathered into GPDR, is based in France for legal purposes and is still in the process of persuading people to be named in a worldwide safety database in the first place.

Interesting tweet from Correa. Very measured, and thought through, likely professionally drafted (or at least vetted). I foresee legal entanglements for the FIA in the near future.
The FIA might have their reasons for not making the entire report public (though I agree with @paulk that transparency is the best policy), but at the very least it should have been shared with him prior to the FIA statement going public.
I would have liked to know what the fia recommends, they only make mention of it. At the time I didn't think of the legal issues that might still be lurking. Legal stuff might also explain why fia's statement points no fingers. Possibly Correas legal team is looking at all the legal missteps and nothing about the crash itself, bureaucracy.
In hindsight the safety at that corner could be better, that said the fia probably didn't break any of their own safety protocols. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of that former fia doctor whose name escapes me.

To the best of my knowledge, the only Gin Palace at every F1 race is the Paddock Club, which is run by FOM (F1) themselves. I suggest Ross Brawn makes a few test runs to see how well they can move that structure from circuit to circuit by rail, before he starts spending even more of the team's money on the necessary equipment needed for the railways.
I've a feeling Brawn might discover that railway stations with freight facilities are not always close enough to the circuits to make them financially viable when each circuit will need to supply enough local haulage transport over the weekend.
As the promoter it's FOM's job to run a gin palace l, so the circus-goers can get oiled. The teams need to spend less money. They especially need to spend less on things that have nothing to do with what specs see on track on a Sunday. Brawn is doing his job.
SoLiDG (@solidg)
I have been lucky to have been 1 day at a paddock club.. Most of it is the paddock building at the circuit. They don't build a big giant building.
There you go. Ross Brawn once again telling the teams what to do, when his company isn't playing by the same rules. The teams pay to get their sponsors and guests into the paddock, does he expect them to spend their time in the paddock club at even more expense?
I'd not be surprised if the teams will believe it's just another example of F1 attempting to take sponsors from the teams, as they've done in the past.
Jon Bee I think Ross was implying that the teams shouldn't have the motorhomes at all. At that point, neither rail nor any other form of transport is needed for them.
Nitzo (@webtel)
Brawn's intentions are honorable. If they plan to cut down on 1.125 million kilometres of extra diesel usage, then i am all for it. I just hope they find a quick and suitable solution to work around the complex world of F1 logistics .
Wow, thank you very much for the COTD, Keith!
I feel compelled to add a couple of elements in light of other comments on the page.
-Why I placed IndyCar in tier 2. @w-k and @scottie think IndyCar is closer to F3 due to Austin pace, but consider race duration. F2 feature races are 100 miles in length, while IndyCar races are usually at least twice that (200 miles at Austin, the Long Beach race is 10 miles longer than the Monaco GP, not to mention 300-500 miles on ovals). That's got to be worthy of tier 2, and the same applies to Super Formula, where races are up to 90 minutes long.
–@gitanes and @leonardodicappucino raised the point that something also should be done to stop some drivers accessing F2. Well, this tier system can be dropped down a notch to do just that: race wins at tier 3 or titles at tier 4 would grant you eligibility for tier 2 (at least, for the sanctioning bodies that agree to abide). Would this have kept Runganathan out of F2, seeing this is a big concern for some? I'd say yes, considering his only race wins have come in BOSS GP, which is already, in the FIA's system, "unlisted".
Before I make any comment about motor homes, I'd like a lot more information about them.
I'd like to know if they also carry parts/equipment in the same vehicle or whether they're a dedicated vehicle that's purpose and load is only motor home?
Do any employees reside in them during the race weekend or again is it just an entertainment area?
What proportion of sponsorship negotiations, are successfully concluded in those motor homes during the European leg?
What would the "actual" green saving be if you compare the use of all that diesel with the green costs of manufacturing (or importing) all of the requisite components to provide similar facilities to those provided at flyaway races? We should probably include waste/recycling in that as well as I'd assume the "built" ones get torn down after the race?
I can see merit in what Brawn is suggesting, but I doubt it's that cut and dried. If it was, maybe they should have put a cap on teams marketing spend as well for 2021 and beyond instead of leaving is unfettered.
@dbradock Parts are carried in different vehicles – for perhaps the last 30 years, the motorhome has tended to be its own vehicle (or, more often, multiple vehicles).
It is forbidden to reside in the motorhomes during the race weekend – only people breaking curfew can be in there once curfew starts, and only a limited number of people (10, I think, and none can have garage passes) are allowed in early so that staff breakfasts can start to be cooked before curfew ends.
A lot of sponsorship negotiations are completed in the motorhomes during the European leg (and some in augmentory boats acting like secondary motorhomes at Monaco).
Most of the 9 races could build extra facilities to substitute for the motorhomes – only Monaco, I think, would have problems with this, and as we've seen, teams tend to supplement with boats there anyway. If tracks are only used for F1 and only for a few years, it's probably worse to build at the tracks, but for places like Silverstone where there are things happening all year and the F1 is likely to be there for the foreseeable future, the carbon would pay for itself fairly quickly. "Built" ones at permanent circuits tend to stay up all year, are taken down at temporary tracks, and I'm not sure what happens at the "semi-permanent" track at Albert Park.
DAllein (@)
Juan, don't play oblivious observer, YOU know exactly why this happened!
And you should be grateful by the way. So maybe shut up and live your life?
ColdFly (@)
Nobel criticism by Brawn.
But maybe he could achieve a lot more by just changing the calendar.
Why not have all races at the same circuit. The teams don't have to haul their motorhomes around and will have it available at all 22 (or more) races.
I would organise the races in Melbourne, just so I can walk to my weekly race. And to get some excitement they can run the race one week clockwise, then counter-clockwise, and maybe a third free for all.
Also with having 4 seasons in one day, they could run various races on a single day with different weather and suit every primetime around the globe.
Fans from other countries could still go to their local circuit and watch the races on giant screens. The local organisers then only need to get a medium loud vehicle run in front of the crowd at a speed so you cannot recognise it and everybody will feel at home.
If the also plant a few trees at Albert Park then it will be immediately carbon neutral.
hobo (@hobo)
My only issue with the #COTD points / promotion scheme is that it still would have allowed Lance Stroll through. :)
W-K (@w-k)
Number of races per year = __
9 "motorhome races" + 15 "other races" = __
Dom (@3dom)
So why are they trying to prevent more Max Verstappen-style scenarios again?
Does Ross remember that those nine races of catering facilities are a significant source of funds for a lot of teams? Or that the teams would cheerfully take the equivalent of motorhomes to those other 15 circuits if they could find non-European sponsors willing to pay for this and were allowed?
How much is Liberty willing to compensate teams for the loss of those facilities?

Minister cites 'public interest' in revoking Djokovic's visa
Fri., Jan. 14, 2022timer1 min. read
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Here is the statement issued Friday by Alex Hawke, Australia's Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, when he revoked Novak Djokovic's visa to enter the country:
Today I exercised my power under section 133C(3) of the Migration Act to cancel the visa held by Mr. Novak Djokovic on health and good order grounds, on the basis that it was in the public interest to do so.
This decision followed orders by the Federal Circuit and Family Court on 10 January 2022, quashing a prior cancellation decision on procedural fairness grounds.
In making this decision, I carefully considered information provided to me by the Department of Home Affairs, the Australian Border Force and Mr. Djokovic.
The Morrison Government is firmly committed to protecting Australia's borders, particularly in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I thank the officers of the Department of Home Affairs and the Australian Border Force who work every day to serve Australia's interests in increasingly challenging operational environments.

The CBOA is the prime trade organisation involved in the effort to sustain and increase freight carriage on our waterways for economic and environmental reasons.
Water freight can be the cheapest way to move goods. The main reasons are economies of scale and fuel efficiency - that one person operating a decent sized barge can move more cargo by water in a given amount of time than that person could if driving a lorry to and fro.
Membership of the CBOA is open to both companies and individuals who support the aims of the association. Together we can make a difference.

Q: Dynamically add kendo grid inside panel of kendo panelbar in JSP I am using Kendo UI in my Java JSP application.
I am able to load the panel bar dynamically but now i want to insert the grid into one of the panels when user clicks that panel. I got the select/expand event to catch that action but I am not sure how to insert the Grid there.
Any suggestions or pointers are appreciated. Thanks!
function createAttendancePanel(){

$("#attendance-details").kendoPanelBar({
        expandMode: "multiple",
        select: selectAttndPanel
        });
    var attendancePanelBar = $("#attendance-details").kendoPanelBar().data("kendoPanelBar");

attendancePanelBar.append({text: "Absence This Year", id:"item1"}, attendancePanelBar.select());
};

This function is called when I select a particular element after the page is loaded.
Now when the panel with text "Absence this Year" is expanded or selected I want to add the grid into this panel.
Thanks,

A: Here is the solution, in case some one is looking for it:
First append the panel with "content" that has the div element
panelbar.append(
    {
        text: "Item 2",
        encoded: false,
        content: "

"
    }
);

Now, convert that div into the grid.
var grid= $("#grid").kendoGrid({
      dataSource: dataSource,
      scrollable: false,
      editable : true,
      navigatable: true,
      toolbar:  ["save","cancel", "create"],
      columns: ["Id", "Name", "Position"]
    }).data("kendoGrid");

Motorcyclist crashes into truck, MTA bus in the Bronx and dies
By Kevin Duggan
Sheridan Boulevard near the Cross Bronx Expressway.
A motorcyclist died after crashing into a truck and a Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus on Sheridan Boulevard in the Bronx Thursday morning, according to police.
The driver was heading north near the Cross Bronx Expressway at 9:12 a.m. when he slammed into the heavy-hauler and then hit the bus, according to the police department.
Cops have not yet released the biker's identity because they are waiting until they can notify his family.
The other drivers stayed on the scene and police did not make any arrests.

"'The second About Group recording for Treader, this time replacing Charles Hayward with Rupert Clervaux. His elegant drumming takes the group into new territories which together with Coxon's simple and insistent guitar themes forms a regular backbone for four extended group compositions containing a surprising collision of sounds and influences. Pat Thomas, with his background in free jazz and improv, and Susumu Mukai, more commonly heard in the company of Floating Points, make strange bedfellows with Alexis Taylor's mooger-foogered rhodes, but somehow it all crystallizes perfectly. The clearest precedent for this engaging recording is Ege Bamyasi-era Can, but really it occupies a position of its own.'"


Another busy week is quickly wrapping up. I am working on a few posts one about seniors and one about cancer research. Surprise. But in the mean time I better give you another running update.
I know many of you are straining, foaming even, like an untrained dog on a leash to sign up to use the Donation Multiplier this year when giving to H.O.M.E. and Fred's Team. And all you are waiting for is more information on my speed, training regiment, caloric intake, and lower intestinal fortitude. So here is the next update.
Cumulative miles since the beginning of training. I'm not running 100 at once. I knew you were worried.
The running is plugging along. I'm going to update you next week with the training plan and the biologics and scientific information underlying it (hint: its called practice). But for the time being you can see my paces here. Perhaps you notice the one standing out. I didn't find a motorcycle or accidentally teleport. I just went to the track and did some speed work, 4x800s. Delightful.
I'm still taking in lots of calories, most from yogurt. Is there anything better in the morning than yogurt and grape nuts? I might have to have an entire post dedicated to the glories of grape nuts. I don't think they are either grapes or nuts, but they have the consistency of gravel and the attractive brown color of, well brown. Breakfast is still my favorite meal of the day. Oh, and obscene amounts of coffee takes care of all fortitude issues. What a wonderful thing.
Below is a picture of me from tuesday. Just a boring, regular Tuesday. Find out what I was up to, and soon, right here on the blog!

I would not say that I am a neat/clean freak but there are certain times that I like a clean area – work is one of them. I don't know if it because I have been out of a school for 6 months or that this school is just a bit more dirty than my usual one – but it is kinda of grossing me out how much dirt and yuck is surrounding me. Actually, one of my students just came in and said "why is this Starbucks coffee still here?"…it has been sitting on the shelf for a week.
There have been a few other things bothering me – most of which involve the computers. I do bring my own computer to school as I am not the biggest fan of school PC's (I am currently cursing at the school computer because it is being slow and stupid). When I do have to use a school computer, it really grosses me out when there is caked on finger-dirt all over the keyboards and mouse. I've seen dirtiness on every single computer. I keep forgetting to bring some of those Lysol wipes to wipe down the computer.
Another thing is the computer labs. When you open up the room you get this scent of dirty carpet and dust. It can be very over-whelming. It just smells like yuck. Wondering when the last time the carpets were actually cleaned….
At my former school someone once commented at a staff meeting that the entire school just needed to be power-washed and disinfected. I would tend to agree with that. Another problem is that (apparently) we are not supposed to bring in our own cleaning supplies, we have to ask the janitor for something (due to WHMIS and other health and safety concerns). Right now I am just washing my hands a lot and using my own computer when I can.
Now where is my Purell?


Iris Temple performed its first headlining show April 16 at Schubas Tavern.
Chicago's emerging soul, hip-hop and rock duo, Iris Temple, performed its first headlining show at Schubas Tavern (3159 N. Southport Ave.) April 16. The group brought its signature good vibes and infectious energy while blending a variety of genres to create its unique, diverse style.
Despite the intimate crowd at Schubas, the duo — formed by high school friends Quinn Barlow, 21, and Quinn Cochran, 22 — made the small concert venue feel like an amphitheater with the help of its live band.
Iris Temple often creates intricate and smooth soundscapes for the studio cuts of its songs, and the result is much more produced and hip-hop oriented. During its live shows, however, the group leans harder toward a soulful, rock sound, giving any fan of its studio work a reason to travel to see Barlow and Cochran perform live.
The show opened with "Parade," one of Iris Temple's best songs to hear with a full band. Off the extended-play (EP) "Vistas," the song fluctuates between R&B, rap and classic rock, featuring a guitar-shredding solo from Cochran which set the energy for the rest of the show.
"Ferns," the typically minimalist song of the group's EP "Duality," was given new life onstage with a fleshed out sound, complete with a powerful drum beat and even stronger harmonies. With more than 600,000 plays on Spotify, "Ferns" stands as Iris Temple's most listened-to song on the streaming platform.
In addition to performing richer, more energized versions of its own songs, Iris Temple invited guests on stage throughout the night — the biggest being R&B artist Xavier Omär. The duo opened for Omär on his debut "Pink Lightning Tour," which remains its biggest tour to date. Together, Omär and Iris Temple performed Omär's hit, "Blind Man," to an enthusiastic crowd.
Iris Temple ended its short set with "Lemonade," a rousing fan favorite which had hands waving along in the air to the optimistic, care-free lyrics. Cochran invited two friends on stage, a trumpeter and a saxophonist, both of whom took solos for the extended performance of the song. "Lemonade" showed Iris Temple's potential of dabbling with live group jams accompanied by diverse instruments and adding texture to the duo's already unique sound.
Iris Temple's music is available to stream and purchase on Spotify and Apple Music, respectively.

Opinion: The Economic Case for Marine Life

Floating into the Future

We on the right – I mean the real right – have been insisting that the tearing down of statues and monuments from the Civil War era would not end there. The leftist radicals would inevitably turn their wrath beyond Civil War white racists and direct their hatred to any white American slave owner. As we've seen and heard, this naturally extends to whites of the Revolutionary era, who are simultaneously celebrated heroes and damnable slave owners.
And then we wondered – what's next after that? Could there possibly be a next? Well, wonder no more.
Now, normally, when wacky ideas emanate from the left, they originate in Europe, leapfrog to California and then make their way across the U.S. to negatively affect the rest of us.
This time the lunacy began in America. The rest of the world never gave a thought to any statues of white oppressors from a bygone era, much less protesting or proposing to tear them down. They've been too busy worrying about the next refugee terror attack – until now.
Taking a cue from the American pro-communist movement, a black(ish) British journalist is demanding a statue of Lord Horatio Nelson be torn down because he was – what else – a white supremacist.
The Daily Mail reporter writes that Ms. Hirsch is merely trying to advance her career by making a stink over the statue, which was unveiled on March, 22, 1813, to commemorate the anniversary of the British Royal Navy's victory in the Battle of Cape Trafalgar in 1805.
However, unlike her unwashed radical American counterparts, Hirsch has designs beyond the statues removal. As the Daily Mail said, she's attempting to make a name for herself and garner some much-needed free publicity.
I don't doubt that this is pure coincidence, but she could not have timed the release better.
Is that all these white imperialist demons brought to far-away lands – a legacy of pain? I hardly think so. They also brought innovation and progress. Sure, there were dark moments in the history of all these explorers and conquerors, but maybe it's high-time we treat the past as the past and ponder how far most of the entire human race has come. Not the white race or black or brown or yellow race – the human race.
I say most of us because I am reminded of the tribe that was just recently discovered in the Amazon rainforest.
However improbable, photos emerged, just this past November, of a tribe living in complete isolation in the depths of the Amazon jungle. They know nothing of the rest of the world. They live virtually as the cavemen did.

(Isaiah 7:10-16; Micah 5:1-6; Luke 2:1-7)
18This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 18The birth of Jesus Christ came about this way: After His mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, it was discovered before they came together that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit.
19Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 19And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 19And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 19Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 19So her husband Joseph, being a righteous man, and not wanting to disgrace her publicly, decided to divorce her secretly.
20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 20But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 20But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 20But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 20But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.
21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 21She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." 21"She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." 21And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 21She will give birth to a son, and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins."
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 22Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet:
23"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). 23"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). 23"BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, "GOD WITH US." 23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 23See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which is translated "God is with us."
24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 24When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 24And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 24Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 24When Joseph got up from sleeping, he did as the Lord's angel had commanded him. He married her
25But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. 25but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus. 25but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. 25And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. 25but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son. And he named Him Jesus.

Oilers v. Sharks - Proverbs 12:1-2
By Scott Reynolds Nov 15, 2013, 5:40pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Oilers v. Sharks - Proverbs 12:1-2
Whoever loves knowlege loves winning,
but those who hate to be challenged are stupid.
Those with good plans receive God's favor,
but those with foolish plans receive only bad luck.
San Jose Sharks @ Edmonton Oilers
Rexall Place, 8:00 p.m. MST
Television: TSN
Visiting Team Scouting Report: If you've been following Derek's Power Rankings series, then you know that the San Jose Sharks are one of the best teams in the league. It is perhaps helpful to put things in perspective by saying that the Sharks are good in about the same proportion that the Oilers are bad: the Oilers have earned ten points in the standings so far this season, while the Sharks have missed out on getting nine. Given that the Oilers haven't scored a goal at home in their last three games, having the Sharks come to town may well help them to set a record for scoring futility, which I suppose gives this game a bit more drama than most of the rest will have this season.
Expected Lineups:
Edmonton Oilers (4-14-2):
Hall - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle
Yakupov - Gagner - Hemsky
Smyth - Gordon - Perron
Joensuu - Acton -Gazdic
Ference - Petry
Belov - Larsen
Schultz - Potter
Dubnyk
San Jose Sharks (12-2-5):
Marleau - Couture - Kennedy
Nieto - Pavelski - Havlat
Hertl - Thornton - Wingels
Sheppard - Desjardins - McCarthy
Stuart - Braun
Vlasic - Boyle
Hannan - Demers
Niemi
From 2011-12 to 2013-14, Taylor Hall is tied for 13th in the NHL with 0.97 points per game. Jordan Eberle is tied for 26th with 0.88, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is tied for 59th with 0.74. That's already more firepower than most teams boast, and the Oilers have another first overall pick in Nail Yakupov looking for his chance to explode offensively. I know that we all know these young players are good, but when things are looking particularly hopeless, it can be good for us to remind ourselves.
Tomas Hertl has emerged as an excellent player for the Sharks this season with 17 points through his first 19 games. Now, his 20.8% shooting percentage is bound to go down, so we're probably not going to see him score close to a point per game over the whole season, but he's still very likely to post excellent numbers. Hertl's path is particularly interesting because he spent the last two years playing in the top league in the Czech Republic rather than coming over to North America to play as a teenager in the CHL. The last player to make the jump from the Czech league to the NHL in his Draft +2 season? Martin Havlat in 2000-01.
Coming into tonight, the Oilers have had 30 different skaters play in at least one game, the most in the NHL, and three more than the 27 of second-place Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. The Oilers haven't been very good this season, and that's for sure, but they've also had to deal with an awful lot of churn.
