Badminton crowdfunding would be a 'huge' boost
The sport received £5.5m in the build-up to Rio 2016, where GB's Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge won bronze.
However, UK Sport felt GB players – who claimed four European medals last week – were not "credible" Tokyo 2020 medal prospects and cut all support.
"A little public support could make a big difference," said Rajiv Ouseph.
UK Sport's funding cut – announced in late 2016 – came into effect on 1 April.
The crowdfunding campaign has been launched by Badminton England – from which the majority of the British squad are drawn.
The cut resulted in half of the 24-strong England Badminton player squad leaving, while 13 staff members – including physiotherapists and doctors – lost their jobs.
"Personally, there aren't as many players around for me to play with now and most of the support staff we've had in place have left, so any help would be massive," European singles champion Ouseph told BBC Sport.
The team's performance director Jon Austin admits delivering the news to the squad was one of the most difficult moments of his career.
"It was a decision which could potentially end people's dreams and careers and I broke down in front of the players and staff having to do that," he said.
"I still feel the decision [by UK Sport] was unjust, but we are trying to move forwards and the crowdfunding is designed to best support those that remain in the programme going forwards."
Commonwealth champions Chris and Gabby Adcock – who claimed a maiden European gold medal last week – believe the British results at the event in Denmark prove the potential in the squad.
"It's been a tough time for the team, no-one is denying that, but everyone has been really resilient and stuck together throughout," Gabby Adcock told BBC Sport.
"Being an athlete is a rollercoaster and UK Sport is just another bump in the road so we won't let it distract from our goals and the big things that we want to achieve."
Chris Adcock added: "Everyone is fighting and we will find a way to succeed."
The bowling out of the gutter
In an era a long, long time ago, Filipino tenpin bowlers were rock stars.
It was a time when a tall and dashing mestizo, Paeng Nepomuceno, loomed large as the sport's poster boy, an era when queues of youngsters wanting to be trained by the local masters were long and the bowling centers were the "in" places to be.
Nepomuceno, Bong Coo, Lita dela Rosa, Arianne Cerdeña, Bec Watanabe and Ollie Ongtawco left for overseas competitions one after the other and came back home with world or continental titles.
Theirs was an unparalleled two-decade (1976-1996) victory parade that made them household names, adored like the land's basketball superstars.
Filipino bowlers crowded the Americans as the finest in the world, and the 6-foot-2 Nepomuceno exemplified the country's preeminence with four World Cup victories, three of them coming in different decades.
But bowling's halcyon days slowly came to an end as a series of leadership disputes and a lack of sustainable development in the sport, according to two former national team stalwarts, created thick cobwebs that smothered the sport for protracted periods.
Victories later came far and between. Christian Jan Suarez claimed the 2003 World Cup in Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Liza del Rosario, Liza Clutario and Cecilia Yap ruled the women's trio in the FIQ World Tenpin Bowling Championships in Kuala Lumpur in the same year, and Biboy Rivera seized the Masters title in both the FIQ championships in Busan, South Korea, and the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. Disappointingly, nothing followed these feats.
Last year, the depths into which the country's hopes in bowling had slipped was magnified when Filipinos managed just two bronze medals in the 10-event Southeast Asian Games competition in Singapore. Thirty-eight years after swashbuckling Filipino bowlers grabbed seven of the eight golds disputed in the 1977 edition of the Games (they settled for the silver in the eighth event), Philippine bowling finally came to grief.
"In the 1970s and '80s, we were next to basketball in terms of popularity," said Philippine Bowling Federation (PBF) president Steve Hontiveros. "It breaks the heart that it's no longer the case now. We need to make up for the lean years by making the sport stronger again."
What caused this monumental decline?
"Technology; the game has changed," says the legendary Nepomuceno, who won the World Cup as a 19-year-old in 1976 in Tehran and then in 1980 in Jakarta, 1992 in Le Mans, France; and 1996 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
"Science and technology took over and we were left behind technology-wise. These days you need to match your ball with the bowling lane, for example. If you don't know how to match them, you're already at a disadvantage. During our time, it took pure talent to curve a ball. Now the ball can do it for you.
"Times have also changed training-wise. We used to train all day because we were full-time athletes," adds the 59-year-old Nepomuceno. "Now the bowlers train only in the evening, after office hours."
To help stop the malady, the PBF has tapped Nepomuceno as head coach of the national men's and women's teams. With him in the coaching staff are top-notch players themselves: United States Bowling Congress (USBC)-certified coaches Rivera and Jojo Canare, as well as Rey Reyes and Johnson Cheng.
Considered the greatest bowler of all time, Nepomuceno is actually following in the footsteps of his late beloved father-coach Angel, who guided his son to the bulk of his 130-plus national and international titles—one of three Guinness Book of World Record entries attributed to Nepomuceno. He is also cited for being the youngest World Cup winner at 19 and for his four victories in all.
The big decline in the number of major tournaments also contributed to the paralysis, says Nepomuceno, an international bowling Hall of Famer like Coo and Dela Rosa, who is armed with the prestigious "Gold Coach" certification from the USBC.
"You get better when you compete in tournaments," says Nepomuceno. "These days the bowlers do not have the luxury of choosing tournaments to play in simply because there is a lack of big tournaments in the first place."
Adds Hontiveros: "Many bowling centers have closed and the remaining few still in operation, like the bowling clubs, are hard-pressed to come up with tournaments. It's difficult to put up money for such events."
Hontiveros recalls how players from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, among other countries in the Middle East, used to come over to train alongside their Filipino idols. Filipino bowling coaches snagged top-paying jobs in the Middle East, one of them national mentor Toti Lopa, who was hired to coach the UAE national team.
"These days the Qataris and the UAE players are among the best in the world," says Hontiveros, the president of FIQ (the French acronym for International Tenpin Bowling Federation) from 1992 to 1997 and for more than two decades the head of the Philippine Bowling Congress, the PBF's predecessor, until he stepped down in 2000. "We were left behind because the rest have all the equipment and the motivation to play very well."
Early this year, with the PBF in its most serious state of disarray, Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose Cojuangco Jr. stepped in and urged Hontiveros to lead efforts to "essentially build a new bowling federation."
With the blessings of the World Tenpin Bowling Association (formerly FIQ), Hontiveros gathered all the sport's stakeholders. With the appointment of Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto, himself a former World Cupper, as PBF chair, the group drew up a new list of members and drafted a new charter. The 59-year-old Nepomuceno gave the initiative a massive boost by offering to become the national team's head coach.
"We have set up a new organization and are developing the grassroots," says PBF secretary general Alex Lim. "We are seeing a lot of potentials, even in the provinces."
Nepomuceno says they will hold eliminations to choose the members of the national pool in November. From that pool they will form the six-man, six-woman PH teams that will compete in the World Combined Championships in Kuwait for the first time after three failed attempts at qualification.
"My initial work is to craft the National Bowling Pool Training Program," he says. "It is focused on the bowlers' physical game, lane play, understanding of equipment
, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and most importantly, mental preparation. It involves several training modules incorporated into the national pool's training and competition calendar."
Nepomuceno says the golden age of bowling from the mid-1970s to mid-'90s will always be an unforgettable part of the country's sports history.
"The process of reviving that era is definitely arduous but we are certain that our aggressive and consistent effort will put the sport back to where it was once was," he said.
With Nepomuceno rolling the first ball, the pins loom large for Philippine bowling's long-awaited comeback.

Q: How to insert a batch of records into Redis In a twitter-like application, one of the things they do is when someone posts a tweet, they iterate over all followers and create a copy of the tweet in their timeline. I need something similar. What is the best way to insert a tweet ID into say 10/100/1000 followers assuming I have a list of follower IDs.
I am doing it within Azure WebJobs using Azure Redis. Each webjob is automatically created for every tweet received in the queue. So I may have around 16 simultaneous jobs running at the same time where each one goes through followers and inserts tweets.I'm thinking if 99% of inserts happen, they should not stop because one or a few have failed. I need to continue but log it.
Question: Should I do CreateBatch like below? If I need to retrieve latest tweets first in reverse chronological order is below fine? performant?
var tasks = new List<Task>();
var batch = _cache.CreateBatch();
//loop start
tasks.Add(batch.ListRightPushAsync("follower_id", "tweet_id"));
//loop end
batch.Execute();

await Task.WhenAll(tasks.ToArray());

a) But how do I catch if something fails? try catch?
b) how do I check in a batch for a total # in each list and pop one out if it reaches a certain #? I want to do a LeftPop if the list is > 800. Not sure how to do it all inside the batch.
Please point me to a sample or let me have a snippet here. Struggling to find a good way. Thank you so much.
UPDATE
Does this look right based on @marc's comments?
        var tasks = new List<Task>();
        followers.ForEach(f =>
        {
            var key = f.FollowerId;
            var task = _cache.ListRightPushAsync(key, value);
            task.ContinueWith(t =>
            {
                if (t.Result > 800) _cache.ListLeftPopAsync(key).Wait();
            });
            tasks.Add(task);
        });
        Task.WaitAll(tasks.ToArray());

A: *

*CreateBatch probably doesn't do what you think it does. What it does is defer a set of operations and ensure they get sent contiguously relative to a single connection - there are some occasions this is useful, but not all that common - I'd probably just send them individually if it was me. There is also CreateTransaction (MULTI/EXEC), but I don't think that would be a good choice here.

*That depends on whether you care about the data you're popping. If not: I'd send a LTRIM, [L|R]PUSH pair - to trim the list to (max-1) before adding. Another option would be Lua, but it seems overkill. If you care about the old data, you'll need to do a range query too.

Râmnicu Vâlcea, Romania has only 120,000 residents, but among law enforcement experts, it has a nickname: Hackerville. In the last year alone, $1 billion was stolen in the U.S. by Romanian hackers, who have been caught breaking into the email accounts of NASA, Hillary Clinton and George W. Bush. In this film we travel to the prisons of Romania, the capital city of Bucharest, and beyond to meet the criminals and law enforcement agents at the center of this global phenomenon. Welcome to the Most Dangerous Town on the Internet.


For the internet, Independence Day can mean one or two things. You had the regular 4th of July but you also have the 1996 movie of the same name. And with constant rumors of a sequel, it's not a film that's easy to forget.
Yet, that's exactly why both the film's legacy and message applies to global B2B marketing and outsourcing.
B2B Lead Generation Tips – Know the Warning Signs and Outsource Experts!
Focus is a lot harder to come by when your brain is tired. It's harder to make connections, grasp concepts, and ultimately creates regrettable decisions more often than not.
How much worse when that brain represents your entire B2B lead generation process? This process is all about creating and maintaining strong relationships with prospects (even after they convert into customers). That means you'll need all the talents and manpower necessary for successful B2B marketing. Unfortunately, you can't always muster enough of these resources at a time. And if marketing's not even your niche, that's all the more likely.

Hubble Finds Exoplanet That Could Mirror Planet Nine
December 14, 2020 pop
This internet site may possibly get paid affiliate commissions from the backlinks on this web site. Phrases of use.
The Hubble Space Telescope has been spying on a extremely uncommon exoplanet some 336 light a long time away. The planet, known as High definition 106906 b, is 11 moments the mass of Jupiter, and it orbits the binary stars at a distance of almost 68 billion miles — 730 periods better than the distance between Earth and the sun. Astronomers feel this frigid planet could serve as a proxy to assist us recognize the hypothetical World 9 in our individual photo voltaic procedure.
Astronomers to start with discovered Hd 106906 b in 2013 making use of the Magellan Telescopes at the Las Campanas Observatory, but the team did not know everything about the planet's orbit. The growing older Hubble telescope was able to assistance there, spying on the exoplanet for the duration of the program of regular observations in excess of decades. The crew utilised archived Hubble facts to work out Hd 106906 b's movement, and they were being astonished to see such an severe orbit. In truth, it appears to be like a good deal like we'd anticipate Planet Nine to glance, orbiting much outside the debris disk, which is the equivalent of the Kuiper Belt in our photo voltaic technique.
I want to stress, we are conversing about a hypothetical ninth earth here — there is facts that details to the probability of a big planet in our outer photo voltaic system, but it's significantly from a absolutely sure issue. The best proof for Earth Nine is the unconventional clustering of trans-Neptunian objects in the outer solar process. Scientists think the gravity of Earth 9 could be shepherding room rocks into individuals orbits.
Hd 106906 b orbits so much from the binary stars at the coronary heart of its solar process that Hubble can image it right (see above). This allowed the crew to recognize its orbit, which is about 15,000 yr a long time extensive. The planet's orbit is also inclined and eccentric — that indicates the orbit is significant on just one end and a lot lower and closer to the mother or father stars on the other. That implies it formed in other places in the photo voltaic method and was pushed into its current orbit soon after slipping in toward the stars and having flung into the outer reaches. A passing star or some other gravitational pressure could then have stabilized Hd 106906 b at the edge of the solar technique.
The Hd 106906 technique is only about 15 million years previous. So, if the World Nine comparison holds up, that could indicate the earth arrived at its existing location very early in the heritage of our 4.5 billion-calendar year-old photo voltaic process. Extra observations of Hd 106906 b could assistance us decide how we could possibly go looking for Earth 9, also. The long-delayed James Webb Space Telescope must launch in considerably less than a calendar year, presenting an even much better tool for learning High definition 106906 b. It may possibly even be equipped to location smaller exoplanets in the Hd 106906 process that could support explain the strange exoplanet's origins.

Internet shopping allows customers the privilege of and adaptability. Besides, you don't have to deal with sales personnel pestering that you buy goods. An additional benefit of shopping with an shopping website is the websites often source products directly from the seller, thus cutting the middleman out, thus allowing for better bargains.
Festive shopping is an excellent opportunity for websites to establish their presence. The truth is there are websites that surface only on occasions like Romantic days celebration, Rakshabandhan and Diwali when individuals want to buy gifts online as an alternative to having to spend time navigating peak traffic. Corporate India too has gotten a liking for such shopping websites as gifts are neatly wrapped and delivered to customers directly than the need to be worried about buying these offline. NRI's too are major patrons of such shopping on the web websites as these allow them to send gifts across with their families and friends in India.
However, a significant hurdle that forestalls shopping websites from making inroads may be the Indian psyche to distrust anything that is not felt and seen. Indians being value conscious are extremely cautious about online shopping. Most websites have tried to 'Indianize' the shopping experience, by proving live online support, meticulous product descriptions, high-end photographic catalogues with All over zoom features and convenient refund policies.
While web portals have fallen with amazing features to get web shoppers, they have also think of increased to protect online transactions. Stories of people being fleeced on the web with duplicate goods aren't uncommon. There lacks a forum just for this shopping community to debate and share their experiences about internet shopping.
Several web portals aim to bridge the space by creating internet shopping communities that supply a platform for users to express information that assist them get the best shopping choice.

Big Fish Are Biting on LiveBet
Less than two years after its inception a South African online sports betting software supplier is slowly but surely cementing key relationships halfway around the world.
LiveBet Online announced two separate deals this week with high-profile British bookmakers, marking a key step in the company's goal of penetrating global markets.
British independent bookmaker Done Bookmaker and the Demmy Group expanded their operations recently with the help of LiveBet software.
LiveBet focuses on the development and support of fully integrated, real-time, online sports betting platform. The platform enables global sports books to administer, control, maintain and operate an online sports betting business and covers a wide range of sports and sports betting products. The system can also be combined with a number of traditional and interactive betting environments.
Last month the Demmy Group launched its first live Internet site, Set2go.com, powered by the LiveBet system. Demmy is licensed in Gibraltar, where it can act as a legal offshore bookmaker to punters in the United Kingdom. The group has been involved in the U.K. bookmaking industry for 75 years, and its solid background enables it to offer a complete service to all its of clients.
Done Bookmakers, England's largest independent betting shop chain, has also come on board with LiveBet. The group, which is behind only Ladbrokes, William Hill and Coral in terms of sheer number of shops, is a privately-owned operation by the Done brothers.
Done has traditionally focused on land-based betting shops until this year. The company had a small interest in telephone betting up until a few years ago. Rather than jump right into the Internet, the company has decided to focus back on the telephone market and then move into the Internet market.
Sheldon Cohen, a co-director for the games and gaming division of eCompany (LiveBet's parent company), is confident Done will turn to the Internet in the short term. He said the company has always coupled its telephone betting software with its Internet betting software because many customers use both.
"New clients always use the call centers at least once, just to make sure they are real," he said.
To help with Done's endeavor LiveBet built a fully integrated telephone and Internet system. Done, which kicked the business on Monday, has staffed a call center with more than 50 operators.
Cohen sees the recent partnerships with such established U.K. as somewhat ironic because LiveBet originally was focused on a different level of licensees.
"LiveBet was built to address the medium to large bookmaker market," he said. "Because we came in a little behind Orbis the guys who seem to get excited about us are these large independent players who hadn't leapt into the game two years ago. They don't have huge marketing money, and they tend to be a little more conservative. They waited to see how the market played out and are now making significant investments."
One of the biggest appeals for bookmakers, according to Cohen, is that operators can start out at their own pace and allow the system to grow as much as market demands allow. Although some operators choose to have a longer testing period than others, systems can be up in less than a month's time.
With the Demmy Group in LiveBet's corner, Cohen is hopeful that more doors will be open for his company
"This is very exciting for us," he said. "It is a major push out of Gibraltar."
In addition to securing more licensees with strong land-based brands, LiveBet is working diligently to prepare sites for the upcoming Cheltenham Festival, the biggest three days of racing in Britain, which scheduled to begin March 12. Andrew Beveridge, LiveBet's other co-director, said Cheltenham and the World Cup are probably the two biggest events for Internet sports books this year.
Preparation includes staying with LiveBet's monthly schedule of updating its software and adding new features to the system. The implementation of a new data mining system has been a major development for LiveBet that's proven to be valuable for operators.
LiveBet took some third-party software and customized it to enable users to spot anomalies in the business. "It is great in terms of risk management," Beveridge explained. "It works very well for marketing, too, in pinpointing specific activities and where customers are coming from."
He said the historical data that can be accessed makes price setting easier for operators as well.
Three of the data mining systems have been licensed out; Beveridge said the response has been overwhelming.
To further solidify its presence in England, LiveBet opened an office in London, which has helped the company's clients launch and market their services.
Cohen and Beveridge agree that their task of making a serious impression on Internet gaming operators won't be easy, but they're both confident that the LiveBet product will continue to make solid inroads, in the United Kingdom and beyond.


Action-packed cold, dark, empty shell of a movie.
Why do we continue to allow Zack Snyder to ruin beautiful things? After what he did with Sucker Punch, Zack Snyder shouldn't be allowed to direct a movie. That movie, although visually stunning, was horrendously anti-character driven. I understand that he wrote it; maybe therein lies the problem, but I digress. We aren't here to talk about the failures and shortfalls of Zack Snyder… unless we're talking about Man of Steel. Which in this case we are.
Man of Steel was not only a complete utter disappointment but it was also an insult to the beloved character of Superman and Clark Kent. As an icon of morality, Superman is an example to others because he is the one superhero who loves humanity more than himself. In Man of Steel, it's never really clear which side of morality Superman is on. Yet we are expected to make inferences based on small clips and bits of incomplete history from Clark Kent's unapologetic past. The movie struggled with finding its footing on how to introduce Clark Kent as a character and as our beloved superhero. Is he a good guy? Is he a bad guy waiting to burst through that emotionless human façade? Are asking these questions necessary? And if so, why? A well written movie does not let the audience make assumptions about a character. Instead a well written movie will define a character. The character development for one Clark Kent was mediocre at best.
*Spoilers* Based on the comics, the shows, cartoons, whatever, we all know that Pa Kent dies. Man of Steel tries to explain that as a young kid, the restraint that Clark Kent feels is only because of Kevin Costner's character, Jonathan Kent. Pa Kent ensures his son's concealment from the government (or others that may want to do him harm) by prohibiting him from using his powers. Man of Steel tries to illustrate this when a young Clark Kent is found to have rescued an entire school bus of children after it swerves and falls off of a bridge. But Jonathan Kent is not easily impressed and instead disciplines his son about the dangers of being different. And although that may have made for an exceptionally legitimate struggle in Clark Kent's chronicle and overall character development, the climax of said chronicle was never finalized and when it should have been, it lacked real and raw emotion. In fact, when Clark Kent watches his own father die due to his lack of interference, Clark Kent doesn't evolve. He doesn't vow to do good and become a super hero right then and there, or he doesn't immediately go on a revenge rampage and destroy society. Instead, Clark Kent decides to become an itinerant worker and live on some boat in the middle of the ocean doing menial tasks. Whhaaaa? It's assumed that Clark Kent left the farm after the death of his father to become a wanderer but again it was never really clear. Needless to say Henry Cavil, could have done more with this character. The way in which he portrayed Clark Kent was cold, dark and unemotional. Moving on.
Starting the movie off with Krypton and Jor-El may not have been the best idea because by doing so it allowed the audience to admire Jor-El's character and have a deeper understanding of the fall of Krypton. How is that a bad thing you ask? Although going into the politics of it all was effective, it made us care too much for Jor-El such that when we saw him again later in the movie, we'd rather him be on-screen than our superhero. Jor-El was probably one of better developed characters in the film because you to see his emotions and his reasons for doing what he did. That being said, his introduction in Krypton did not do him justice as an actor. The entire first part of the movie's dialogue was underdeveloped and I believe it had less to do with the actors and more to do with the script and more specifically the way in which Jor-El's character was written. Case and point, if a very angry General Zod walks in and kills a councilwoman, you don't turn around calmly and ask General Zod a question. No, instead you turn around, weapons drawn and fight.
The initial conversation with Zod and Jor-El was lackluster and felt really rushed. I wanted to feel what Jor-El was feeling and as previously mentioned, in some instances I did. Some of the best parts in these early sequences of Man of Steel was when Jor-El infiltrated Krypton's archives to steal the codex and the tender moments between him and Lara. There was a hint of desperation, a touch of sadness and a dash of hopelessness. But it was just not enough to make up for the fails and lack of character in the rest of the movie.
Speaking of which, Amy Adam's Lois Lane fell short. Completely. There was a brief two minutes when she was an awesome badass of a woman but then every moment after that, she became more and more unlikable. And I love Amy Adams! Christopher Meloni played that typical American soldier badass that would go down fighting against anything, even if that anything was a convicted ex-Phantom Zone alien. Pretty cheeseball but still one of the better parts of the film. Diane Lane played Martha Kent with the love and tenderness that could only come from an actress who knows how to play a good mother. Michael Shannon was a great Zod because he was scary and impassioned regardless if it seemed forced.
Although, the movie did have it moments of nostalgia, (the tiny town of Smallville, watching Clark Kent grow into his powers, a brief mention of Lana, a Lexcorp logo on the side of a truck) the plot holes and lack of emotion and character development for every character, make it simply dreadful. Laced with enough action bits and explosives to see you through a million 4th of July holidays, the action sequences and special effects are the best part of Man of Steel. But it was only once we got to these action scenes in the movie (which started about halfway through), did we realize that we didn't really care about who these characters were. Man of Steel is an action-packed cold, dark, empty shell of a movie. Go see this movie for the special effects but don't expect to feel anything while you're watching it.

Choker Setter Killed by Falling Tree - South Carolina
FACE 9505
A 26-year-old male choker setter (the victim) was struck and killed when he walked into the path of a falling tree. The victim was walking from his work area to a landing for a routine lunch break. While en route to the landing, he took a shorter route through a brushy area in the vicinity of felling operations being conducted by a co-worker. The other worker had just finished cutting a gum tree, using a feller machine as the victim approached the felling operation. The co-worker backed the machine from the felled tree to allow it to fall. The victim walked into the tree fall zone and was struck on the head by the falling tree. A co-worker notified the emergency medical service via 911. The EMS responded within 5 minutes and the victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead from massive head trauma.
NIOSH investigators concluded that to prevent similar occurrences, employers should ensure that:
employees remain a distance of two tree lengths of the trees being felled from mechanical-felling operations, until the machine operator has acknowledged that it is safe to approach more closely
employees use designated safe routes of travel when leaving their work areas
consider the use of high-visibility clothing as personal protective equipment.
On December 6, 1994, a 26-year-old male choker setter was struck and killed when he walked into the path of a falling tree. On December 14, 1994, officials of the South Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Administration (SCOSHA) notified the Division of Safety Research (DSR) of the incident and requested technical assistance. On January 24, 1995, a DSR safety engineer reviewed the SCOSHA investigative file and visited the incident site.
The employer in this incident was a logging company with 29 employees. The company had been harvesting pulpwood and sawtimber at the incident site since November 21, 1994. Normal work days started at 7:30 a.m. and continued until 5:00 p.m., five days a week.
The victim had worked for the company for 3 weeks and had been trained according to the company's written safety policy. The employer conducted weekly safety meetings and biweekly safety inspections. Company policy also required use of appropriate personal protective equipment, face shields, chaps, hearing protectors, gloves, hard hats, and safety shoes. This was the company's first fatality.
On the day of the incident, the logging crew consisted of a feller choker setter (the victim), skidder operator, and a feeler operator/foreman. Logging operations began about 7:30 a.m. and proceeded normally, with the.victim,and co-worker trimming and gathering logs prior to skidding them to the landing for loading. The feller operator/foreman was engaged in felling trees in an area 150 to 200 feet from the victim. Since the jobsite was located on soft ground, the foreman was cutting small trees and brush and laying them in the muddy areas of the tract to prevent rutting by the mobile equipment. At about 11:55 a.m., the foreman ceased cutting and drove the feller to the landing. Once there, he told the victim and co-worker to break for lunch, then drove back to his work area. When he returned to the work area, he started the blade on the feller, allowing a 2-to-3 minute warm-up, and then began cutting a 15- inch-diameter by 20-foot-tall gum tree. During this time, the victim and co-worker had started walking from their work area to the landing for lunch. The co-worker walked along a skid road located on dry, elevated ground. The victim followed him for a short distance, then took a shorter route through lower, softer ground which led toward the foreman's felling area (Figure). The visibility along this route was restricted by waist-to-head- high brush. The foreman cut through the tree, visually checked around his machine and the tree-fall zone, and then backed away from the cut tree, allowing it to fall to the ground. As the tree fell, the victim was emerging from the brush and walking into the tree-fall zone. As the victim traversed this area, the tree struck him in the head. The foreman dismounted his machine and went to the victim. A truck driver notified the local EMS via 911, which responded within 5 minutes. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:00 p.m.
The medical examiner specified the cause of death as massive head trauma.
RECOMMENDATIONS/DISCUSSION
Recommendation No. 1: Employers should ensure that employees remain a distance of two tree lengths of the trees being felled from mechanical-felling operations, until the machine operator has acknowledged that it is safe to approach more closely.
Discussion: OSHA regulation 1910.266 (h) (v) , requires that: No employee shall approach a mechanical felling operation closer than two tree lengths of the trees being felled until the machine operator has acknowledged that it is safe to do so.
Recommendation No. 2: Employers should ensure that employees use designated safe routes of travel when leaving their work areas
Discussion: The route used by the victim to depart his work area led directly in the fall zone where the feller operator/foreman was felling trees. Additionally, while walking through the brush, he was hidden from the view of the foreman. According to the foreman, both the victim and skidder operator were visible when they started walking to the landing along the skid road. As they were walking out, the skidder operator could see the felling machine. It is not known why the victim changed his route from a skid road on dry, elevated ground to a route on lower, softer ground. It is possible that when he left the skid road, he lost visual contact with the feller and exited the brush in an unintended location. Due to the nature of the logging environment, workers are often out of visual and auditory contact with each other, and may not be aware of changes in co-workers' work areas or their precise location. Designating safe travel routes prior to work could ensure that workers remain clear of hazards such as tree-fall zones.
Recommendation No. 3: Employers should consider the use of high visibility clothing as personal protective equipment.
Discussion: The brush in the area in which the victim was traveling, was both thick to moderate and waist-to-head high, and greatly reduced visibility. Use of high-visibility-orange safety clothing, such as that used by hunters, could significantly increase visibility of workers in moderate-to- thick brushy conditions.

Auto News For Thursday, October 8, 2015 – Toyota SF-R Concept Is The Next Miata Rival
Here are the six must-read, must-watch auto news stories, reviews and videos for Thursday, October 8, 2015.
Toyota will showcase a new sports car concept at the Tokyo auto show later this month. The SF-R, not to be confused with the Scion FR-S, is a stunner from some angles, a bit underwhelming from others. The engine is in the front, power is sent to the rear wheels. We don't know what's under the hood.
Diesels in waiting? They're not waiting any more. Volkswagen Of America's 2016 cars equipped with the 2.0L TDI diesel can't be certified. Won't be certified. Aren't going to be certified anytime soon.
General Motors is recalling 29,295 copies of its full-size crossovers, the 2016 Chevrolet Traverse, 2016 GMC Acadia, and 2016 Buick Enclave, because, "the windshield wiper motor may overheat when used."
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' U.S. sales figures look very good each and every month. Remove Jeep from the equation, and FCA numbers don't look so good at all.
Will you want to drive a Mercedes-Benz Metris instead of a Honda Odyssey? Probably not. But might you want a Metris instead of a Ford Transit Connect? That's more likely. Automobile Magazine says, "The Metris is an impressive entrant in the segment," giving credit to Mercedes-Benz for filling, "the niche between compact and full-size vans."
Police chases typically don't end with the perp driving onto a beach, let alone into the ocean.

Air traffic controllers need position, heading, speed and time information for the continuous management of all aircrafts. Some areas of the world lack the appropriate ground infrastructure, including secondary radar and communication links. Standardized transmission of GNSS navigation data will lead to advanced systems and techniques for safer air traffic monitoring.
The Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) is currently the most important system used in Air traffic controllers (ATC) side, which relies on GNSS as primary data source, to obtain aircraft's horizontal positions.
The ADS-B is part of Next Generation Air Transportation System systems and uses GNSS as primary horizontal position data source for the provision of an acceptable accuracy and integrity performance in support of the ATC separation services contained within the ADS-B application.
This description was partially adapted from the ADS-B definition at Skybrary.
The ADS-B is an aircraft's mean to automatically transmit and/or receive traffic information to/from other aircraft and to air traffic control. This information includes the aircraft identification, position, altitude, speed, and other parameters, which are determined by equipment such as GNSS receiver and barometric encoder, and will aid the air traffic controllers to keep the aircraft safely separated in the air and on the ground, as well.
Once it becomes fully implemented, the ADS-B aviation technology will bring a major improvement in terms of surveillance, enhancing the ground radar based surveillance systems.
The ADS-B goal is to provide a real time complete picture of traffic for both pilots and air traffic controllers, which can facilitate the separation management, reducing costs and improving safety.
Throughout ADS-B the aircraft, aerodrome vehicles and other objects can automatically transmit and/or receive data such as identification, position and additional data as appropriate in a broadcast mode via a data-link. The transmission of identification and position data will move air traffic control from a radar-based system to a GNSS-based aircraft location system.
The ADS-B broadcasts the ownship on-board position information automatically in a defined frequency of 2Hz, without any knowledge about who is listening to the information and without being able to receive any request calls. However, the ADS-B is dependent of the on-board position sources and on-board broadcast transmission systems.
On the aircraft side, the flight crews will then use ADS–B In information to adjust their airspeed or flight paths to maintain the instructed separation.
The biggest risk associated with provision of GNSS is the potential for denial of service by deliberate jamming, and consequently backup mechanisms are required.
Surface operations include navigation on the airport surface to and from the active runway. These operations are currently conducted visually. However, the use of GNSS will enable the ability for aircraft movement without visual references in the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). With more accurate information, ATC will be able to position and separate aircraft with improved precision and timing.
Accuracy of GNSS positions is better and more consistent, than position accuracy provided by ground radar systems.
The installation of ADS-B systems is cheaper than the installation of ground radar systems and can easily provide gains in a airspace that doesn't own radar systems.
The broadcast mechanism of ADS-B, provides a traffic awareness mean for both ATC and nearby aircraft.
The GNSS combined with Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) technology improves the situational awareness on an airport. The introduction of a moving map display including presentation of surrounding traffic enabled by ADS-B In/Out will significantly reduce runway and taxiway incursions. By providing the pilot with conflict free routing, together with target times, the system will considerably improve taxiway throughput and reduce taxiway delays.
In the ATC side, the ADS–B transmission signals from aircraft will be fused with surveillance data from both primary and secondary radars before being displayed. The controllers, therefore, are receiving and viewing a composite of aircraft data from multiple surveillance systems.
The ADS–B surveillance data will improve the performance of ATC decision support tools, which rely on surveillance data to make predictions.
The necessary equipment on the aircraft side to support the ADS-B system is a GNSS receiver capable to do the necessary calculation of integrity and accuracy and a datalink transponder to broadcast the ADS-B data. The ADS-B Out capability, that reports to ATC and other traffic nearby, is the only one which will be obligatory.
The aircraft ADS-B In is the equipment which encompasses the datalink receiver and listens to the information provided by other aircraft, providing the information usually onto a GNSS map in a CDTI. This information is often integrated with Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), however in General Aviation applications the ADS-B receiver is a standalone receiver.
The ADS-Contract (ADS-C) is another ADS application, which is meant to be used in flights above areas without radar coverage. This application sends reports periodically to the nearest ATC.

Well, here is another unknown tea beverage that I picked up at another Asian market. I'm pretty sure it's by the same company as the one linked in the previous sentence, but I'm not entirely sure, as there is no english on the bottle. From what I can tell, this is just a straightforward white/green tea mix. It is very lightly sweetened (just enough to allow for some taste, not to "sweeten" the beverage, per se), and is crisp and refreshing. They managed to avoid the "bottled tea taste" that is so prevelant over here in America again, furthering mystefying me with regards to our ineptitude. Overall, this drink is a little unremarkable, but still good.

"MCH Handbook as a family-based tool to promote the Miracle of First 1000 Days"
Leaders for a New Development Era from 31 countries and areas from all over the world, meeting at the 11th International Conference on the Maternal and Child Health Handbook in Bangkok from 12th to 14th of December 2018, have gathered at a critical and strategic moment in the initiative to recognize the MCH Handbook as a family-based tool to promote the Miracle of First 1000 Days of all children".
"The First 1,000 Days" including the time from conception to age three is the crucial time for mothers and children. Proper nutrition, stimulation, and environmental factors influence a child's ability to grow, learn, work, and succeed. In order to ensure healthy lives, and promote wellbeing for all at all ages by 2030, we are required to make harmonized efforts to achieve "leaving no one behind" under the agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015.
The MCH Handbook is a comprehensive tool, designed to be kept by the family that may contain integrated on and off-line health records and information on pregnancy, delivery and child health. More than 50 countries and areas over the world have developed and used it as a unique and essential measure to address the need to provide a continuum of care for maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health in the manner of people-centered approach.
The conference has provided an opportunity, following the Tokyo Declaration adopted by the 10th International Conference on the MCH Handbook, held in Tokyo in November 2016, to reflect on what has been learned about development and implementation; to re-examine the values and effects of the use of the MCH handbook; and to identify the directions and strategies required to promote Universal Health Coverage in the 21st century.
Finally, all the participants of the 11th International Conference on the MCH Handbook hereby conclude and recommend that:
The MCH Handbook is an essential and effective family-based tool that can promote "Continuum of Care" for all mothers and children, especially during the first important 1000 days of life.
The MCH Handbook should particularly promote early child development for ensuring wellbeing throughout the life course.
The MCH Handbook should be prioritized as a necessary component in health service delivery in maternity facilities and be a guidance for all families using for improving their health literacies on maternal and child care.
The MCH Handbook is a global standard tool to improve maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health to accelerate achieving the Sustainable Development Goals particularly the SDG goal 3.
The MCH Handbook should be seen as one of the most important benefit packages that the government provides for all mothers and children through community health services, health facilities and responsible organizations.
The sustainability of the MCH Handbook program demands country and stakeholder ownership with strong commitment from domestic sources, as well as multilateral and bilateral organizations and private sectors in terms of financial investment and technological support.
The development of the MCH Handbook in the 21st century should open up various kinds of innovations in order to provide opportunities for more partnership, scaling-up utilization, and inclusivity of users.
The MCH Handbook Bangkok Declaration offers a vision and focus for the innovative, equitable and sustainable development of maternal, neonatal, child and adolescent health in the SDGs era. It reflects the firm commitment of participants in the conference to draw upon the widest possible range of resources to promote the MCH Handbook for our world and for future generations.
We, as a strong partnership with the common vision towards the development of MCH Handbook, have committed to ensure that MCH Handbook is a family-based tool to promote the Miracle of First 1000 Days.
12th International Conference on MCH Handbook
Time: 8 – 10 of July, 2020

Hi, I'm trying to get a handle on how the Email Client Market Share stats translate to specifice app usage when it comes to Android devices.
I understand that all gmail opens get lumped together regardless of app.
I also understand that all Android operating systems after 4.4 use gmail by default.
So, is it safe to assume that the Google Android usage that is reported is mostly users of Android 4.4?
Also, are Gmail IMAP opens lumped in with the Gmail data?
Hope someone can help me get some clarity. Thanks!
Hi there! You're correct about Gmail opens all getting lumped in regardless of which device the email is opened on, or even if emails are opened on webmail. This is due to Gmail's image caching and the inability, currently, to separate on which Gmail app emails are opened on. And current, Gmail IMAP opens are also counted in the Gmail data.
With regards to Android, since there are many different mail apps users can use on Android, Google Android usage wouldn't mostly be users of Android 4.4. Not to mention the huge number of Android devices which each run their own version of a default mail app (and run various version of Android), which would get counted as Google Android.
Hey Jaina. Thanks for the reply.
So based on what you've said about Android, it's pretty hard for us to know what that data actually means when it comes to the specific client. I'm trying to decide how much attention I should give to problems I see in my Android Litmus previews. Since gmail is default on devices after 4.4, and the previews for newer Android devices don't necessarily represent any particular app, it doesn't seem like I should put much stock in them. Let me know if my thinking is off track! Thanks again.
You'd probably be better off concentrating your efforts on Gmail rendering—Gmail's popularity is rising, and it'd be an educated guess, seeing as it's the default email app on Android devices from 5.1 onwards, a high proportion of Gmail opens would be on a mobile device running Android.


Hugh Carey, whose grandfather Michael Carey (baptised Kirrane) and grandmother Delia Graham (baptised Grehan) were both from Milltown, was Governor of New York from 1974 to 1982. He was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1919. He received his primary degree in 1942 and his law degree in 1951 from St. John's University. He also served with the U.S. Army in WWII, seeing action in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and was present at the liberation of prisoners from Nordhausen (Mittelbau-Dora) concentration camp. By the time he was discharged from service in 1946, he was a lieutenant colonel, wearing the Bronze Star, the Croix de Guerre with Silver Star and a Combat Infantryman's Badge.
As a member of the Democratic Party, Hugh Carey served as a Congressman in the United States House of Representatives from 1960 to 1974. He was first elected Governor of New York in 1974 and re-elected in 1978. He was the first Democrat re-elected Governor for 40 years. It is a generally accepted fact that he was mainly responsible for saving New York from bankruptcy in 1975. He was also deeply involved with other well-known US politicians in seeking to find a peaceful solution to the Northern Ireland Troubles and was one of the so-called "Four Horsemen" with Speaker Tip O'Neill and Senators Ted Kennedy and Daniel Moynihan.
During his time as Governor, Carey brought in reforms in the treatment of the mentally ill, abolishing the large institutions and providing community care. He changed the system of electing senior judges to selection on merit and oversaw several economic development projects in New York. He was very proud of his Irish heritage and made many trips to Ireland. He visited Milltown in 1960 with a view to establishing his roots. Hugh Carey passed away on August 7th 2011, at his home in Shelter Island, New York, with his funeral Mass taking place at St. Patrick's Cathedral. A plaque was erected to his memory in Milltown Heritage Park in September 2012 and unveiled by his grandson Erich Carey.

Throughout my life, I've felt a deep connection to nature. At an early age, I expressed that connection by doodling with pencil and paper the animals my parents took me to see at the Field Museum and the Lincoln Park Zoo. My professional studio training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago expanded my range of media to include oil painting and sculpture, and my subsequent work in Wisconsin's forestry industry immersed me further in the natural world. My work as an architectural custom carpenter further expanded my artistic skills.
All of these influences came together about 25 years ago as I began carving detailed, lifelike birds. My works earned permanent places in the collections of prestigious institutions including Maryland's Ward Museum of Wildlife Art.
In the early 1990s, my bird-carving efforts led me to begin sculpting less detailed, more expressive bronze bird sculptures, which joined the collections not only of the Ward but also such art museums as the Bennington Center in Vermont and Wisconsin's Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. These works, in turn, provided a pathway toward my current creations: expressive limited-edition bronzes of wildlife ranging from bison to bighorn sheep, musk oxen to polar bears. I research all these sculptures first-hand in the wild, taking extensive photographs—as well as collecting river rocks that I have begun to incorporate into my animal sculptures, underscoring their connection to the natural world.
