This makes the company the latest smartphone maker to step into that Chinese market.
Xiaomi Mi Pay has launched in China. This has added yet another mobile payments option for consumers in the country. It also means that Xiaomi has become the latest in a series of smartphone makers offering a mobile wallet in China.
The Mi Pay mobile payments service is a contactless payments system using NFC technology.
So far, Xiaomi Mi Pay supports debit cards from 12 banks and credit cards from 20 banks. These include China Merchants Bank, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and Bank of China, among others. According to Xiaomi, a smartphone user will be able to add up to eight cards to their mobile wallet.
Xiaomi Mi Pay jointly launched with the China UnionPay state-run nationwide mobile payments system.
There are already a number of large scale mobile payments systems that have launched in China and around the world. Among the biggest names include Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and WeChat Pay from Tencent, as well as Alipay from Alibaba. These are all available in the largest smartphone market in the world, which is the Chinese marketplace.
Mi Pay users will also be able to take advantage of added mobile wallet features. Aside from debit and credit cards, they can also add public transportation cards. This way, they can avoid the need to dig a card out of a wallet or bag when they likely already have their smartphones in their hands.
In order to use Xiaomi Mi Pay, the smartphone must be near field communication (NFC) enabled. The NFC technology makes it possible for the device to communicate the necessary information with either a tap against the reader or by waving the device in front of it. In the name of mobile security, the NFC technology using smartphones underwent tests to ensure they could withstand a range of non-invasive and invasive attacks to break through encryption and reach private data. Moreover, this mobile wallet uses multiple authentication mechanisms to verify transactions.

Is Kuwait no longer a welcoming destination for expats?
Posted on 4 Jun at 6 PM in General Emigration News International Relocation UAE Working Abroad
Story link: Is Kuwait no longer a welcoming destination for expats?
Once upon a time, expats headed for the Gulf States in general and Kuwait in particular for its lifestyle, its generous oil and gas-related salaries and its exotic ambience.
Nowadays, everything is different, with Kuwait leading the rest of the Gulf States as regards getting rid of the vast majority of its expatriates. At the same time as the state's economy is being hard hit by its dependence on oil and the effects of the pandemic, the Kuwaitization call to get rid of all expats is growing louder, with workers from overseas now becoming an election issue.
According to the Kuwaiti PM, the state's expatriate population should be no more than 30 per cent of all residents in the country, thus calling on government to readdress a balance where 3.4 million out of the emirate's 4.8 million population are foreign incomers. It has to be said that the vast majority of this number are unskilled labour, but it also needs to be understood that Kuwaitis would be very unhappy to be working in these jobs.
MPs are now proposing replacing all expat workers employed by the government with locals, as well as proposing a quota system for expat entries into the emirate. Many Kuwaitis would simply refuse to take on unskilled labour jobs, even if there were enough nationals to cover all vacancies. Other Gulf states are struggling with the same issues with, for example, Saudi Arabia's position as the second-largest migrant destination on the planet is making it almost impossible to adjust the demographics.
Expats at the lower level earn more than in their home countries and remit significant sums to their families back home, but have few safety nets nor any routes to citizenship. Kuwait's upcoming parliamentary election will spur anti-expat rhetoric, especially on the subject of high-salaried government jobs.
Another issue of little concern to expat professionals but one time bomb waiting to detonate is the trading in Kuwaiti residency permits linked to the bringing in of illegal overseas workers and their transfer between several employers. Most of the above is unlikely to affect expat professionals looking to further their careers by a stint in the emirate, but many now working in Kuwait are noticing locals' subtle change in attitude towards them. Sadly, it's not just Kuwait which is becoming far more racialist in its attitude towards foreigner workers at all levels, as all the emirates are singing the same song to the same tune.

We all know that our earth's atmosphere is more or less in a state of hydrostatic equilibrium. Which means, the force due to the pressure gradient in the atmosphere is peacefully balanced by the earth's gravitational force. Because of this, we have atmospheric layers with heavier elements at the bottom and lighter elements at the top, with a balanced pressure. If gravity is absent, the pressure gradient force will simply leak out our entire atmosphere into the outer space. Lucky for us, we have the right amount of gravity and mostly a non-leaky, good atmosphere that sustains life. However, still a few gases escapes and leaks into the outer space, which is nearly a vacuum. In this edition, we are going to explore why a few gases escape earth's atmosphere and how they leak into the outer space.
Our atmosphere consists a few other layers within the primary layers. For this 'leaky' analysis, you should know about the turbopause layer, which is found approximately at an altitude of 100 km. Below this turbopause layer is the homosphere where the turbulent atmospheric events (a cyclone) mix the gases and form a homogenous chemical composition. This includes our troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and the lower most thermosphere layer close to the mesosphere.
Above that point, lies the heterosphere where the atoms and molecules are free to move for a long path (1 to 10 km) without colliding with any nearby atoms or molecules. Now, molecular weight comes into play and stratification happens. Heavier elements settle at the bottom and the lighter elements like hydrogen and helium gets to the top layer of the thermosphere.
The average molecular kinetic energy can be related to the temperature with an equation from the kinetic theory (assuming the molecules as point masses) and ideal gas law as shown below.
This tells us that the temperature of the molecule is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of a molecule. In a layer like thermosphere, where the temperature can get as hot as 500 °C to 2500 °C, the molecule attains higher kinetic energy. This higher kinetic energy and relatively lower density of gases in the thermosphere creates a viable environment for the lighter elements to attain the escape velocity of the earth. Indeed, you can compare the average velocity of hydrogen at a temperature, say 1000 °C, with the escape velocity of the earth—11,190 m/s.
From the above equation, we could deduce a relation between the velocity and kinetic energy.
Ek is the kinetic energy of the molecule, m is the mass and vrms is the average velocity.
Mass of a hydrogen molecule H2 is 2.01588 g.
Now let's find the average kinetic energy of the hydrogen molecule at 1000 °C (1273.15 K) using the first equation.
When we plug this into the second equation, we will get the average velocity (speed).
After some unit conversions, we get the average velocity of a hydrogen molecule at 1000 °C is 1,61,773 m/s. Which is much higher than that of the escape velocity of the earth—11,190 m/s.
Therefore, it is obvious that at such high temperature, few lighter molecules like hydrogen and helium move at these higher velocities and leak out to the outer space. In addition, when they collide, which is so rare, they transfer the energy to a different atom or a molecule. Although, this leakage is so minimum that we lose only a few grams per second.
The second factor that knocks off the gases out to the space is the solar storm. Although we have our protective magnetosphere, the high-energy particles find its way around the earth and sometimes when a few penetrate the magnetosphere, they collide with the molecules and push them off the atmosphere. As the ions tend to align to the direction of the magnetic field, a few ions sometimes are ejected to the outer space. An interesting data observed by a group of satellites called Cluster, shows that at the poles, the earth's magnetic field is shooting off some oxygen ions. This could also happen at the other elongated end of the magnetosphere, where ions sometimes collide, neutralize themselves, and bid adieu to our earth.
Though planet earth is leaking a few grams of gases a second, it is a very negligible when compared to the total amount. However, it is evident that in our far future, when our sun becomes a red giant, we might lose significant amount of gas including oxygen. For now, breathe well and live well.

Stephanie Young has been a technical communicator for 16 years. She graduated from UCF in 2003 with an English—Creative Writing BA and a minor in Studio Art. In fact, she started right out of college at Lockheed Martin on Lake Underhill as an illustrator. Now she manages a team of 16 people, performing both technical writing and Configuration Management on 27 different contracts for the Air Force and government customers. Stephanie has also been a program manager in charge of an Army contact for technical publications and training, and she worked in configuration management for AT&T Government Solutions. She is a certified Army instructor who has routinely performed training for soldiers and reservists.
Scott Dorsett has been in Central FL since 1993, since graduating from UF. He has worked in staffing/direct placement/recruiting since 1999. A major focus of his recruiting since 2007 has been in IT, though he continues to recruit in almost all areas including administrative, accounting, marketing, sales, and teaching. Scott has been with Riptide Software for 5 years, where he handles recruiting, most HR functions, and some account management.
Jeff Wayman is the Director of Customer Education for Sonatype where he leads a team of Sr. Content and eLearning developers, Instructional Designers, and associated leads. He drives the overall strategy for all product content and education development, including documentation, training, and technical guides.
I stumbled into my first Technical Communication Role in 2000, right at the tail end of the dot-com bubble (it was already bursting, but I was oblivious to that sort of thing). Over the years that followed, I finished a bachelor's degree in English from USF in 2004. During that time I meandered through a variety of jobs that included Customer Service, TV Camera Operation, and even full-time carpenter. When I graduated, I repeatedly heard I needed experience (despite having quite a bit). So I took an entry-level role in HR (which I hated). By chance I befriended the geeks in the tech department at that company, and in short order coerced my way into a made-for-me Technical Writer role. Since that time, I've been a Business Analyst, Product Marketing Manager, Product Manager, Product Owner, and Leader. In my current role I lead the Customer Education Department – an entirely remote, agile team of around ten people that includes technical content developers, eLearning Developers, and an Instructional Design Manager. Content under the team's management includes documentation, technical guides, product education, and the associated systems that support these help channels. As I've moved into leadership, I have a strong desire to champion autonomy, trust, iterative improvement, work/life integration, and most of all, keeping work fun. I work in parallel with my team, and appreciate that they are incredibly talented at what they do, and so much better than I ever was.

The One from the Other: Book summary and reviews of The One from the Other by Philip Kerr
Summary | Reviews | More Information | More Books
The One from the Other
Readers' rating:
Published in USA Sep 2006
Genre: Thrillers
Germany, 1949: Amid the chaos of defeat, it's a place of dirty deals, rampant greed, fleeing Nazis, and all the intrigue and deceit readers have come to expect from this immensely talented thriller writer. In The One from the Other, Hitler's legacy lives on. For Bernie Gunther, Berlin has become too dangerous, and he now works as a private detective in Munich. Business is slow and his funds are dwindling when a woman hires him to investigate her husband's disappearance. No, she doesn't want him back - he's a war criminal. She merely wants confirmation that he is dead. It's a simple job, but in postwar Germany, nothing is simple - nothing is what it appears to be. Accepting the case, Bernie takes on far more than he'd bargained for, and before long, he is on the run, facing enemies from every side.

Pyrrhon's maniacal death metal convulsions destroy reality on manic 'What Passes for Survival'
Over the past decade, death metal has gotten kind of weird in sections. Bands have been taking the brutality and disgusting blends created by the pioneers of the genre and turned it something that seems to have originated in deep space. Perhaps it has infected the entire bloodstream, because as things go on, we get more and more artists twisting the music to obscene levels.
One of the groups that have been in on this run the past several years are Brooklyn-based beasts Pyrrhon, who have done their fair share to shake the body to its core and leave only strange scraps behind. The band has returned with their mind-liquifying third record "What Passes for Survival," released on Willowtip Records and Throatruiner Records, two places where their challenging art is right at home. The follow-up to 2014's "The Mother of Virtues," the band tackles abuse, the soul-grinding workforce, and even ridiculous war bros who go to stupid lengths to prove their truth. Essentially, you get a lot of dark dashed with some light, and holding that all together is some of the most intricate, busy, soul-bruising death metal alive on Earth. The band—vocalist Doug Moore, guitarist Dylan DiLella, bassist Erik Malave, and drummer Steve Schwegler—punish your senses and insert their own warped reality into their art, resulting in one of the strangest death metal records you're bound to hear.
The record starts with a noise burst before the band chews you up and spits you out on "The Happy Victim's Creed." Here, they lambaste the mindless drones in the workforce as growls mix with shrieks, guitars drill into your skull, and the band sets a path to devastation. "Make me the servant I was born to be!" Moore howls as the track reaches its end. "The Invisible Hand Holds a Whip" is deranged and furious, as Moore's voice hits monstrous chaos, and the guitars go on an exploration mission. Strange effects coat the growls, while the noises pile up, and Moore wails, "Our number's up, we all got to pay!" "Goat Mockery Ritual" is a poke at those dudes (let's face it, it's almost all dudes) who cry about the metal scene and go a little overboard proving their kvltness. "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing you saps that 'observe the dress code' shall be the whole of the law," Moore howls sarcastically, as the band backs him with twisting punishment, guitars that swing into space, and a slow-mauling finish. "Tennessee" turns things serious again, as the song focuses on a friend who suffered abuse while incarcerated. Ominous bass tones start the song, as the dizzying, sprawling damage sinks its teeth, and the punishment fits the theme of the song. The shrieks unleashed remind of Mike Patton at his most unhinged, as the song hammers home the torment and injustice served.
"Trash Talk Landfill" opens with satirist/musician Tom Lehrer's 1959 line that, "Life is like a sewer, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it." It's a hilarious line, but then the track becomes unglued, as the band grinds away, and the growls blister the ribcage. Part of the playing is rubbery as fuck, as the soloing goes nuts and confounds reality, the pace crunches, and the back end is packed with death-style lunacy. That leads nicely into the three-part "The Unraveling" triptych, with the whole thing cemented together nicely, and the only real way to keep the parts separate is to follow the track listing. "Hegemony of Grasping Fears" is the first part, unleashing total insanity, as everything hits the fan. The tempo is crunchy and mathy, reminding a bit of Dillinger Escape Plan, and that all bleeds into the second portion, "Free at Last." "This is a first-hand account of a culture committing suicide," Moore cries, as this middle section is disorienting and peels the paint off the walls, while the last bit, "Live From the Fresh Corpse," is more straight-forward … when considering what preceded it. We're back into a death march, with terrifying growls and an assault that ends abruptly. "Empty" closes the record, a 12:03 pounder that brings soupy guitars, coarse growls, and a thick haze. The pace calms some in the middle, letting the humidity in, but then we're back into bludgeoning death that drops a million hammers. The band slips into a free-form section where they noodle in outer space. Then we're back to slowly meted out torture, vocals scraping skin, and the band delivering a final beating.
Pyrrhon remain disinterested in doing things the conventional way, as "What Passes for Survival" proves repeatedly. Their brand of death is not here for brutality's sake; it's here to push your brain and alter what you expect from heavy music. Their style, as it's always been, likely won't be everyone's tastes, but for those who are aligned, Pyrrhon have more concoctions to destroy your perception of reality.

Brampton Beast Teams With The Stable
Published: December 3, 2018 7:36 pm ET
The Brampton Beast, the professional "AA" affiliate of the Ottawa Senators, and The Stable have announced a unique partnership that links the professional hockey team with a Standardbred yearling.
Through thestable.ca, shares of Ms Brampton Beast, named through an agreement with the team, have been made available to fans, players, and management of the team, as well as the general public.
Ms Brampton Beast will be managed, trained and raced through The Stable, a management group that has managed hundreds of yearlings and racehorses. As with all horses managed through The Stable, there are 100 shares of the horse, at 1% ownership per share. All costs will be shared equally by the 100 shareholders. The Stable offers a racehorse ownership experience, focused on customer service, engagement and the enjoyment of the horse. The Stable currently boasts more than 500 owners residing in 10 countries. Fans can meet Ms Brampton Beast, and watch her train, at The Stable's Open House on the morning of Sunday, December 9, at Tomiko Training Centre in Campbellville, Ontario
The Brampton Beast began its sixth season on October 13, 2018 at the CAA Centre in Brampton. Each year, more than 100,000 fans attend Beast games. The team stresses fun and entertainment for the entire family, at every game.
"We are very excited to team up with the Brampton Beast on this initiative," said Anthony MacDonald, co-owner of The Stable, with his wife Amy. "'Beast' is a tremendous looking filly with a great attitude and we're thrilled with her progress. Shares are now available, and we look forward to welcoming Beast fans and players to the farm to get to meet her. We expect to be out at Beast games, promoting the horse racing industry to a totally new audience, and look forward to building on this relationship."
Officials from the Beast are also excited. "The opportunity to have an official racehorse of the Brampton Beast is a very unique way for us to reach out to the community, and offers another way for our fans to connect with the team," said Cary Kaplan, president and general manager of the Brampton Beast. "We have already had players and staff members inquire about shares, and we look forward to working with The Stable."
The official racehorse of the Brampton Beast, Ms Brampton Beast was born on April 15, 2017. She is a daughter of Sunshine Beach, who earned $977,438 as a racehorse, and equalled a world record time of 1:47.4 over a five-eighths mile track. Sunshine Beach is a son of Somebeachsomewhere, perhaps the greatest pacer of all time.
Over the next several months, Ms Brampton Beast will be trained and developed towards the start of her racing career – hopefully in July, 2019. Using drone videos, social media feeds, an innovative new app, and open houses at the farm, thestable.ca will provide regular updates on the progress of Ms Brampton Beast.
While the concept of tying a racehorse to a professional hockey team is new to Canada, it is not an untried concept. In Sweden, numerous teams from the Swedish Hockey League are teamed up with racehorses. Their fans purchase shares of the horses through the popular Rikstravet fractional ownership program, with the drivers even wearing the team jersey when the horse races.
Both The Stable and the Brampton Beast are committed to announcing future benefits and promotions related to Ms Brampton Beast. Fans are encouraged to purchase shares before they sell out.

I've not had a debate since The Great Video Replay Debate in January 2005 so here's a good chance for people to air their opinions on the sometimes controversial issue of tipping.
Back in April was the annual student society committee meal at Lounge 68 in Huddersfield. Tom, Mel, Sam, Emily, Cheryl and I were those present and it would be a farewell meal for Sam and Emily who moved on to all things Leeds.
We had the meal and a fair bit of drink (not as much as last year thankfully) and then received the bill. The food wasn't of a very high standard and the menu was quite poor too. We also felt the service could also have been better. The bill came to £182.15 Question 1: Tip or no tip? Answer: We decided to pay £190 tipping a small amount out of politeness rather than anything else.
They wouldn't let us pay by cheque so I put it on my card and we were just about to leave when the waiter came over and told us that he'd undercharged us for a drink so we owed about £3.20 more. Question 2: Now what course of action should be taken? Answer: We considered running but weren't really near enough the door and would've had to go past the till so in the end we decided to explain to them that we had overpaid for our bill and that as it was their mistake it should come out of their tip. They weren't very happy with this and tried to make us pay but we refused to back down and they let us leave.
So, did we do the right thing? Discuss!
I think you were probably right. The UK isn't like the US where table staff (or so I'm told) get paid v little, and get most of their wage from tips. All the of-age people would be getting minimum wage - so you've already paid for the service in the meal cost really - they will be paid the same basic wage whatever you tip. If the meal wasn't very good and they messed up the bill they didn't really deserve much tip (I did think for a moment "...is tip for service or food quality?..." but I know that in most places people I've known have worked the tip is shared out between all staff - not just the waitresses/waiters. It wasn't like you didn't pay the actual bill.

India: Another Crypto Exchange Closes Due to Regulatory Pressure
India's proposed laws to introduce a 10-year jail term for dealing in cryptocurrency have been listed as a factor in Koinex's closure.
Indian crypto exchange Koinex has ceased operations effective immediately, its co-founder has confirmed
Indian crypto exchange Koinex has ceased operations effective immediately, co-founder Rahul Raj confirmed in a blog post on June 27.
Raj said multiple delays by government agencies in clarifying crypto regulation have played a factor in the decision to close.
This month's proposal to introduce a 10-year jail sentence for Indian citizens who use cryptocurrencies had also contributed to a "sharp decline in trading volumes."
According to Raj, Koinex had experienced "regular disruption," including denials when attempting to use payment services. He alleged this disruption extended to non-crypto transactions as well – with exchange employees asked questions by banks whenever they received their salary or attempted to pay their rent.
Warning that it was no longer economically feasible to serve customers, Raj added:
"The final decision has been taken after duly considering all the latest developments in the crypto and blockchain industry in India… Unfortunately we're not too hopeful that things will change for the better in the near future."
Raj said the exchange plans to refund frozen deposits to bank accounts over the next five weeks, and urged users to empty their crypto wallets by July 15.
In May, another Indian cryptocurrency exchange, Coinome, also announced that it was closing its doors because of regulatory difficulties.
Last week, it was reported that Facebook has not applied for approval to operate libra, its newly announced cryptocurrency, in India.

Having a lawn comes with the responsibility of taking good care of it. Watering, lawn mowing, as well as landscaping are among the important activities that your lawn requires. Lawn grass needs mowing as well as watering in order to grow well, and landscaping is used to give the lawn a face-lift. If you one of those who lack the time or the know-how about how complicated any of such activities is, then you probably would like to avail of Wheaton lawn mowing instead.
Wheaton lawn mowing services can provide you with experienced and proficient workers that are well-trained to properly handle lawn care jobs. They use only the finest as well as the safest methods to care for your lawn.
Firstly, the employ the mower most suitable for the lawn This is of great importance in order to prevent the emergence of new grass. For small lawns, a "walk behind" lawn mower often does the job.These are the types that service personnel typically drive physically, mowing the grass manually. However, an expansive lawn needs the ride-on version of lawn mower. It is a vehicle-like machine, on which take a seat and drive to mow the grass.
One other lawn mowing consideration is the regularity or frequency. A bi-weekly schedule is generally ideal in pruning the grass. On the other hand, if the grass on your lawn is of a variety that sprouts quickly, Wheaton lawn mowing may also be done on a weekly basis. Plus, their staff is composed of experts who are skilled on different techniques of lawn mowing.
One more important consideration is the condition of the grass along with the time it was planted. The season that that grass is planted likewise provides relevant information as to when and how often to mow the grass. Usually, grass propagated during summer will need less frequent mowing. Professional lawn mowers are also familiar when it comes to the amount of watering necessary, in addition to the watering frequency.
Another lawn service that might be interested in is landscaping. It involves activities like gardening, fencing, as well as patterning of the land to spruce up the lawn. Landscaping Wheaton is around to undertake this activity usually after consulting with their clients. Landscaping can be done on a daily basis, except on weekends, for a small fee.
There are available lawn mowing as well as landscaping websites that you explore on the Internet, and even register free of charge. After that, you simply have to accomplish a form disclosing important information such as your name, location, together with a few details concerning your lawn as well as what you wish to be done with it. A company employee will afterwards visit your home, inspect your lawn, and ink a deal. Perhaps, they will also agree to do a one-time lawn mowing job for you at.


A fun Friday evening can be had at Seven Hills Toongabbie RSL.
This year to celebrate our November birthdays we wanted to do more than just go out to dinner. The decision was made to go to Seven Hills RSL for Karaoke on Friday night, and a table for ten was booked.
After grabbing some dinner we moved out to the entertainment area where the Karaoke master had set up the sound system and screens. The room was full of regulars but the vibe was friendly and happy. The host welcomed us and asked what we were celebrating, soon enough the birthday names were on the big screen and the challenge was issued that he would get us up on stage.
The singing was great, most performers belting out power ballads and serious love songs. The crowd were very supportive and cheered and clapped everyone. As a group we are much more comfortable dancing and had great fun whilst deciding whether to go ahead with the karaoke. Four of us said we would give it a go even though we had a feeling we would be pretty terrible.
The range of songs is huge and it would be a good idea to come prepared by knowing what you would like to sing. We put our names down and waited anxiously for the call up.
Needless to say Diana Ross and the Supremes have nothing to worry about, as our rendition of 'Stop in the name of love' left a lot to be desired. Having said that we had a great time with lots of laughs and will be back for more. You don't have to sing, it is fun listening to and singing along with the star acts and the dance floor is a decent size.
If you live near the club it is in your best interest to become a member. A $5 annual fee gives you a range of benefits and discounted food and wine.
Why? You only live once, why not die on stage!


Marlene Mawhinney has been President and Senior Teacher at Yoga Centre Toronto since 1988, and been teaching yoga since 1972. Her quest for depth led her to BKS Iyengar's work, and since 1985 she has returned to India regularly to study and work directly with Mr. Iyengar and his daughter Geeta Iyenga.
Since 2003, Kelowna Yoga House students have been blessed with 5 workshops with Marlene Mawhinney. It was through her second workshop in 2007, that we discovered the maximum capacity of our main yoga studio, as it was filled to the brim, almost as tightly packed as in India!
In all her work, Marlene's focus is on yoga for health and wellbeing, in both body and spirit. She says that we become practitioners of yoga by creating our own inner voice to lead our practice, rather than waiting for our teacher's voice. We look forward to hearing Marlene's teaching voice at Kelowna Yoga House once again for this Student Focused Workshop!

Báetán mac Ninneda (morto em 586) foi um rei irlandês dos Cenél Conaill, um ramo dos Uí Néill do norte. Era filho de Ninnid mac Duach (floresceu 561-563) e bisneto de Conall Gulban (morto em 464). Era integrante dos Cenél nDuach, um ramo dos Cenél Conaill. É considerado Rei de Tara por algumas fontes.

O título de Rei de Tara se alternava entre os ramos dos Cenél nEógain e dos Cenél Conaill no final do século VI. É difícil separar o reinado de Báetán do de seu primo mais jovem Áed mac Ainmuirech (morto em 598). Vários períodos de tempo são dados para o reinado de Áed nas listas de reis, sendo que todas elas colocam o início do seu reinado, antes da morte de Báetán. Os dois reis são omitidos na Baile Chuinn, a lista mais antiga de rei irlandês do final do século VII, mas este foi, provavelmente, um documento partidário. É possível que Báetán não fosse realmente o grande rei, mas foi-lhe dado esta posição pelos historiadores para explicar o governo de Báetán mac Cairill (morto em 581) dos Dál Fiatach de Ulster como grande rei. As listas de reis apenas atribuiem-lhe um reinado de um ano. Se Báetán foi rei de Tara ou não, o poder real efetivo entre os Uí Néill do norte, a partir de 572 foi de Áed mac Ainmuirech.

Sua morte é registrada nos anais em 586, quando foi morto em Léim in Eich, por instigação de Colmán Bec (morto em 587), o rei de Uisnech dos Uíl Néill do sul, que era candidato ao posto de grande rei. Os anais dão-lhe o título de Rei de Tara.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Names Lipstick Color After Infant Princess Charlotte
Harrods unveils biggest color cosmetics launch ever, dedicating three windows to Marc Jacobs products.
Samantha Conti, Lorelei Marfil
February 5, 2016, 9:25am
FIT FOR A PRINCESS: Marc Jacobs Beauty has named a lipstick shade after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's 9-month-old daughter Princess Charlotte. The young royal will celebrate her first birthday on May 2.
Part of the Le Marc lip crème collection, "Charlotte" is a deep rose-pink shade exclusive to Harrods. The price is 24 pounds, or $34. The beauty brand launched today in London, with Harrods as the exclusive U.K. stockist. The Knightsbridge store said it was the biggest color cosmetics launch in its history.
"We wanted to commemorate this major brand milestone by creating a custom shade of Le Marc lip crème," said Catherine Gore, global vice president and general manager of Marc Jacobs Beauty, who added that the shade was "inspired by the deepest saturated pink tones of an English rose."
On Friday, Harrods unveiled three big windows near Door Nine on Brompton Road dedicated exclusively to Marc Jacobs Beauty. It's the first time that the store has done a color cosmetics takeover of the windows, and customers are invited to walk inside the space and experiment with the new collection.
The windows feature super-sized versions of the products, giving the space a surreal, theater-set feel and ample opportunities for selfies. The windows will remain open for the month of February. "We have never done color cosmetics in our windows, so the Marc Jacobs team has allowed us to make history," said Mia Collins, Harrods' head of beauty.
The collection is currently being sold in Harrods' White Hall, which will be its permanent home. For the launch it's also present in The Colour Hall, where it will remain for the month of February.
"We have huge expectations for the brand," said Collins. "There has been so much excitement from so many different territories already and we now want to give our clients the chance to understand and get deeper into the Mr. Jacobs' universe."
As part of its embrace of Marc Jacobs, Harrods will also have a two-season exclusive on the new ready-to-wear collection, and be the only U.K. stockist to carry it, aside from Jacobs' stand-alone stores. The store will also carry some accessories exclusives.

Sunday night, my oldest nephew, Jorden, and his little girlfriend, Kyndall came over to our place. They were in town visiting Kyndall's aunt, I guess they were on an Aunts' house tour! Side note: Will I ever stop referring to anything JT has as "little"? Obviously, I still think of him as the little baby that was born when I was in the 4th grade. Geez!
Anyway... after the wonderful Fall Festival, I was rushing all around the house, heating up leftovers for us to eat quickly and just making sure everything was PERFECT for when they got here.
Michael was in the bathroom changing his shirt because "somebody" spilled dinner on their shirt. (Insert cute flirty smiley face here) He apparently didn't lock the brake on his wheelchair.
I was in the other room making something perfect, when I hear an ever-so-normal-sounding, "Sweetheart?" Didn't even sound like anything was wrong to me! Man, am I going to be an amazing mother, ha!
I walk into the bathroom just in time to see my husband slip forward, head first, into the wall/onto the floor. It was terrible! Like it was happening in slow motion, and I was in some kind of nightmare where my arms didn't work. He hit. Deep breath. This has always been one of my biggest fears! Now what?
I positioned him off of his head and onto his booty on the floor. I squatted down, put one arm under his knees, the other under his shoulders and tried to pick him up like I've done 1,000 times. I pulled. Tugged. Mustered up as much strength as my little 5'2" self has.... NOTHING. He wasn't coming off the floor. It was dead weight.
My phone rang, it was JT in the parking lot. I commenced having a full-on, hyperventilating anxiety attack, because you know, those are always so helpful. My heart sank. The last thing in the world I wanted my nephew to see was my husband, in a pile on the bathroom floor. Like, hi, welcome to our home! But I did know that my strapping, healthy, strong, 21 year old nephew was in the parking lot and if I had to swallow my pride, I could get him to help me. Leaving my husband in a pile on the bathroom floor forever was obviously not an option.
Then, I had an idea. I got in front of Michael instead of at his side. I squatted down, grabbed the back of his jeans and I think it must have been the adrenaline but I was able to fireman-style throw him almost over my shoulder and up into the chair! Yessss. We kissed. My heart pounded out of my chest. Deep breath. Then, I went outside to meet JT and Kyndall in the parking lot.
"Hey y'all!" like nothing ever happened. Later, Michael told me I was superwoman. I am not. He likes situations like these because he says it shows me how strong I am and they bring us together. I, on the other hand, would like to just trust that. I do not need to live through these situations to teach me anything! I don't want anymore "lessons," you hear me? I can see the years of my life being shortened, haha.
All kidding aside, I see his point. And it is kind of nice to have one of those big fears behind me now, instead of hanging over me. Like, yeah, I can do this. Been there, done that.
Dana, I am almost crying laughing. I think we are so much alike its not funny.
HOLY COW!!! I can't believe you pulled off that lift! WOW! Serious chops Mrs. Ritter. Kolette and I were laughing so hard, only to be blown away by your physical prowess.
Dana, I'm glad you were able to come up with a creative solution, I kinda wish I could've seen that! But watch out that pride keeps you from asking for help. It's OK to ask for help. Interdependency grows humility, I think.

Palmer to the rescue
'It's a great privilege to lead the Jamaica team'
BY SANJAY MYERS
myerss@jamaicaobserver.com
AFTER his match-saving efforts against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force in the regional four-day tournament opener, former Jamaica Scorpions skipper Paul Palmer says not being burdened by leadership responsibilities has allowed him the freedom to focus more on his batting.
On Sunday's final day, he ended on a back-to-wall 116 not out on a wearing pitch as the Scorpions earned a draw at Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad.
The left-handed batsman, who turned 28 earlier this month, had made a crucial, even 50 in the first innings.
"It's a great privilege to lead the Jamaica team, but not being the captain brings less pressure for me as an individual player. There is still pressure to perform, but it's not the same as being captain," Palmer told the Jamaica Observer shortly after the Scorpions cricket team returned to the island yesterday.
The background context made the accomplishment against the Red Force all the more outstanding.
He was not even in the initial 13-member squad for the first-round match — Palmer, who led the Scorpions last season, only made the cut after batsman Nkrumah Bonner was ruled out with illness on the eve of the team's departure.
The Jamaica franchise was forced to follow-on after making only 278 in their first-innings response to the Red Force's daunting 460-4 declared. Joshua Da Silva and Yannic Cariah registered unbeaten knocks of 113 and 100, respectively, for the Red Force.
When the Scorpions desperately needed a hero, Palmer, a gritty top-order batsman, soaked up 217 deliveries while striking 10 boundaries to lift them to 300-8.
While scoring his second century in 34 first-class matches, he got main second- innings support from Jermaine Blackwood (78). His other hundred at firstclass level, an eye-catching 136 which came in December 2017, was also against the Red Force.
"It was the afternoon [before the team left for Trinidad] that I got confirmation that I would replace Bonner. I was just looking to contribute in any way that I could; to help the team in the best way possible.
"I was very determined because I wasn't in the team but then got the opportunity to play as a replacement. I wanted to put my best foot forward and to relish the opportunity. I managed to do that, and I'm quite happy for that," the former national youth captain said.
"Every time you score a hundred it will bring some level of satisfaction and some level of jubilation. It came at a time when the team needed somebody to bat some overs to draw the game, so that makes it even more pleasing that I was able to do that.
"It was difficult [to bat] because the wicket was really playing low from day three; a lot of balls were keeping low when we were batting. The balls were up and down, so to really come away with a draw on a difficult track was good," Palmer added.
He made his first-class debut for Combined Campuses and Colleges in 2014. A season later, his debut for Jamaica's senior team came with the captain's role — a forgettable experience for him.
He generally struggled with the bat, and matters were compounded by the side's dismal performances. Palmer told the Observer that his exploits in Trinidad has laid a platform, but he is mindful of not getting carried away.
"I'm pretty confident going forward, but it's just for me to maintain a certain level. It's not just how you start, it's how you finish, so it's important for me to remember the things I did well in the game and to try to be as consistent as possible," he said.
Despite being dominated over the course of the match, the Scorpions picked up batting and bowling bonus points to be fourth in the six-team league table with 6.6 bonus points.
The Red Force are third with 9.4 points. Guyana Jaguars, the reigning five-time champions, are on 21 points for an early lead in the competition.
The Jaguars left Leeward Islands Hurricanes (two points) in last place after beating them by 10 wickets in their firstround contest at Sir Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.
In the round's other match, Windward Islands Volcanoes (16.6 points) defeated Barbados Pride (4.2 points) by three wickets at Arnos Vale Cricket Ground in St Vincent.
The Scorpions' next game is scheduled for Sabina Park in Kingston, starting Thursday at 10:00 am.

Biden picks Thomas Nides of Morgan Stanley to be U.S. ambassador to Israel
Published Tue, May 25 20213:47 PM EDT Updated Tue, May 25 20214:07 PM EDT

President Joe Biden has tapped Thomas Nides, a seasoned diplomat and Wall Street executive, to become the next ambassador to Israel, NBC News reported Tuesday.
If confirmed by the Senate, Nides, a former deputy secretary of State under President Barack Obama, will have a challenging portfolio awaiting him in the wake of the latest cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has tapped Thomas Nides, a seasoned diplomat and Wall Street executive, to become the next ambassador to Israel, officials familiar with the matter tell NBC News.
It was not immediately clear when the White House plans to announce the appointment.
The White House declined CNBC's request for comment. Morgan Stanley didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
If confirmed by the Senate, Nides, a former deputy secretary of State under President Barack Obama and currently an executive at Morgan Stanley, will have a challenging portfolio awaiting him.
Last week, Israel and Hamas agreed to a tentative cease-fire after 11 days of fighting in Israel and the Gaza Strip, the worst violence the area has seen since 2014. In an effort to ensure that the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas holds, Biden requested the nation's top diplomat visit the region.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken left for the Middle East on Monday. He will travel to Jerusalem, Ramallah, Cairo and Amman through Thursday and meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, Jordan's King Abdullah and other top officials.
Nides, who was expected to secure a position in the Biden administration, is a vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, where he focuses on the firm's global clients. He has been a staunch financial supporter of several Democrats who ran for president in 2020, including Biden, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
Before joining Wall Street, Nides was the deputy secretary of State for Management and Resources, where he was a close advisor to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Those who hold that position often focus on U.S. foreign aid and diplomatic issues overseas.


Leadership is a socially constructed concept that has been seen as a masculine quality; because of this women struggle reaching leadership positions and face many challenges when holding leadership positions. This study investigated the development of leadership styles and qualities of selected female administrative leaders at Rowan University through survey and interview data. The study specifically looked at the influence of these women's mentors on their leadership development. The findings of the study showed that the women reported no negative experiences with male mentors, however several with female mentors. The interviews also revealed that there were differences among qualities and skills the women reported learning from the two genders. The study demonstrated how mentors played a key role in the development of leadership and the confidence of women in higher education.

Let's face it –everywhere you turn there's someone with a smartphone.
More and more people are turning to their mobile devices to access the internet. In fact, in 2015, mobile devices overtook desktops as the primary devices that people are using to go online. Last year, mobile devices accounted for 52.7 percent of internet users –a number that's expected to grow to 63.4 percent by 2017.
Since more and more people are visiting websites with their smartphones, it makes sense for your town website to be optimized for these visitors. Having a responsive website, one that's designed to load properly and quickly on smartphones is important. In addition to optimizing your website, there's another change that the rise in mobile browsers has brought: the importance of tracking mobile users through Google Analytics, or another analytics program.
While it's no secret that companies have been tracking their visitors for years, determining where they are coming from, the bounce rate, and search terms that they used to find the website, today it's important to look at your visitor data separately: and see how it pertains to both desktop and mobile visitors. Looking at the data on your mobile visitors will provide you with valuable insight into these visitors, which you can use to optimize your website, to better reach them.
If you have a website for your town, here are a few reasons you may want to start tracking the data on both desktop –and mobile visitors.
One important metric to look at, is the bounce rate as it pertains to each device. How long your visitors spend on your website can indicate that your website may need to be optimized for a specific visitor segment. For instance, if visitors using iPhones tend to click away faster than desktop visitors, you will want to test your website out in an iPhone, to make sure there isn't an issue with the page loading on that specific operating system.
You'll also want to look at engagement, and see what desktop and mobile users are doing on each page. With most pages, there will be a goal outcome –whether it's to download a form, click the "contact us" button, or view the agenda. Pay close attention to goal fulfillment, and see if users from a specific device are clicking away more than desktop visitors. If mobile visitors aren't following through with your goal outcomes, it could be that your website's structure could be preventing, or making it difficult for them to do so.
You should also look at keywords that visitors are using to find you via organic search. Pay close attention to which keywords mobile visitors are using, compared to the ones that desktop users are searching out. In many cases, they will be different. This could give you an idea about which keywords you may want to use to optimize your site in order to draw in more mobile visitors.
Another metric that you can check is website load speed. Google Analytics will let you see how quickly your website is loading on different devices. Again, if you notice a discrepancy, and see, for instance that your website is loading considerably slower on one specific device, it's a good idea to look a bit deeper. While it could be an indicator of an unusually long load time for one specific visitor, in some cases, it could mean that it's an issue loading on a specific operating system. If this is the case, it's important to look for ways to optimize it, to help it load faster.
Google Analytics is a great way to see what your visitors are doing, which in turn will give you the clues that you need to optimize your website so that it does its job, and performs well for your visitors.

The science park at Stanford University in the US was the brainchild of provost and dean of engineering Frederick Terman, who spied the potential of a site focused on research and development, generating income for the institution and community.
Now known as Stanford Research Park, it laid the foundations for the formation of Silicon Valley, and saw Steve Jobs founding the ground-breaking NeXT Computer, while Mark Zuckerberg grew Facebook to 750 million users from 20 million while its HQ was in the park.
There are now more than 400 science parks around the world and counting, according to Unesco, with Edinburgh BioQuarter among the names on the list.
It unites life science companies, the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, the University of Edinburgh's medical teaching school as well as leading health and bioinformatics research institutes.
Highly complex, cutting-edge and life-changing scientific work takes place here, with the hub boasting pioneering capabilities in regenerative medicine, healthcare data and informatics and translational medicine, "from bench to bedside".
However, Edinburgh BioQuarter director Hans Möller has in mind a simpler means of assessing its significance – what he dubs the "taxi test".
He formerly headed up Ideon Science Park, which was the first site of its kind in Sweden and northern Europe, and under his stewardship it added a tall, highly distinctive office and hotel property known as Ideon Gateway, whose facade changes colour with the daylight.
Möller would bet £100 that if you jumped in a taxi in Lund, where that facility is located, and asked the driver to take you to the city's innovation centre, they would drive you to Ideon Gateway.
The BioQuarter is certainly making vast strides in boosting its offering, with work starting in October last year on a new two-storey, 1,200-square-metre modular building offering a mix of specialist office and lab space. The building is situated in the south of the BioQuarter next to Nine and the Centre for Dementia Prevention.
Nine was the site's first commercial building, which opened in 2012 and is now fully occupied, housing more than 20 life sciences firms, while one of the world's largest studies into Alzheimer's Disease is taking place at the Centre for Dementia Prevention.
NHS Lothian's £150 million Royal Hospital for Children and Young People and Department of Clinical Neurosciences is due to open this year, after some delays and bringing a further 1,100 staff or so to the site, and the University of Edinburgh's £50m Centre for Tissue Repair will open in 2020, making the site one of the largest concentrations in the world of stem-cell scientists with the addition of around 250. Additionally, a masterplan for Edinburgh BioQuarter allocating space for new accommodation creating a "modern urban" environment, including cafés, a hotel and gym, received outline planning approval in 2013.
Möller is keen for the site to be appealing, with pedestrian-friendly walkways and cafés, to help recruit talent, "which is always a challenge". More than 7,000 people work at the campus, and it is home to 900 hospital beds in the Royal Infirmary. By the end of this year there will be more than 1,100 hospital beds.
The aim is to revolutionise health and wellbeing with a view to changing people's lives. "We need to be disruptive in that, and game-changing," he says, noting the greater healthcare costs that come with an ageing population and increased focus on preventative rather than reactive medicine, for example.
The Swede took on his current role in October, moving from Newcastle, where he had been innovation director at North East Local Enterprise Partnership.
He has been getting to grips with the BioQuarter and its own structure, network and opportunities, and believes that no two science parks are alike, with each having its own stakeholder model, strengths and weaknesses.
The vast majority operate via the so-called "Triple Helix" model, fusing the public and private sectors with academia, he explains. Edinburgh BioQuarter's partners comprise Scottish Enterprise, NHS Lothian, the University of Edinburgh and City of Edinburgh Council. "We need to develop that model, of course, but it's a very good starting point," says Möller.
Work is in hand to define and create the BioQuarter's future, and a business plan covering the next five to ten years is set to be approved in the coming months.
Möller says he was born in an old city hospital in Sweden that, in fact, later became a science park.
But his professional foray into the sector didn't come until, ironically, he was off work ill from his role as chief executive of an IT firm he had founded, having stayed on after an exit to an American company.
Waylaid by a bad cold, he grew restless and started to think about the next phase of his career. His interest was in supporting start-ups and he developed concepts around an accelerator programme. Once he was back to full health, one of the people he spoke to about such a plan was a headhunter charged with filling the chief executive seat at Ideon Science Park. "It was serendipity," says Möller.
The Swedish facility describes itself as "one of the most exciting places in Europe" and received pivotal backing from late Ikea founder, Ingvar Kamprad, whom Möller credits with being very generous both financially but also in supporting the young entrepreneurs on-site.
That said, Möller acknowledges that uncertainty over how painful the UK's exit from Europe will be is a sizeable hurdle, with EU-funded research programmes of particular concern. There has also been much debate over the European Medicines Agency upping sticks to Amsterdam from London. Such a move is "not a good sign", he says.
As for his own task of navigating highly complex subjects under his BioQuarter remit, given that he doesn't have a scientific background, he says: "You start to learn the language and of course you have a conceptual understanding of what they're doing, even if you don't understand the details or the depth of it." It can, in fact, be an advantage not to be scientific, he says, as those with a deep insight can become too deeply entrenched in the details of the research.
His contribution to such a discussion is on the commercial potential and the business-development side of things as he looks to see the site achieve his targets.
