Fil Am paper sues rival for false circulation claims
by Joseph G. Lariosa April 16, 2009
written by Joseph G. Lariosa April 16, 2009
CHICAGO (Apr. 16)– The question — which comes first, the chicken or the egg — has defied answer for ages. And so is the question of which newspaper has the biggest circulation among Philippine newspapers and ethnic Filipino publications outside the Philippines.
A Filipino American publication wants to offer its own answer. And it wants a jury to give the clue.
In 2007, the Philippine Star's claim to be the No. 1 was based on the thickness of the newspaper and its advertising revenues generated (2.62-bilion pesos or US54-M from January to November 2007) that topped other dailies, including the Philippine Daily Inquirer, which disagreed with the Star's claims. And since then, it seems any agreement on this matter is nowhere in sight.
The Asian Journal, a twice-weekly publication, based in Los Angeles, California, wants to one-up its mainstream counterparts in the Philippines by suggesting that the proof of the circulation is not in the claim of an audited circulation but on the number of trucks that deliver the copies of the newspapers.
Putting its money where its mouth is, the Asian Journal Publications, Inc. coughed up $350 in filing fee last March 13 to the Superior Court of Los Angeles and accused its competition, Balita Media, Inc. and Verified Audit Circulation, Inc. of false and misleading advertising, unfair competition and fraudulent business acts and tortuous interference with prospective business advantage.
This topic is going to be one of the pieces of conversation by the NPC-Phil. U.S.A. headed by Lourdes Ceballos when it holds a Kapehan (coffee talk) at Fil Am Delight restaurant on 5750 N. California, just off the corner of Lincoln Ave. in Chicago's northside at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 18. Other topics that will be discussed are the column of Chip Tsao on Hongkong's OFW's and the Right of Reply pending in Philippine Congress.
$1-M Damages
The Asian Journal, which has several editions in California, Nevada and New York, is demanding an excess of $1-M in damages in lost income.
Also named in the 10-page complaint filed by Atty. Joel Bander were Anthony Allen, owner, Luchie Mendoza, director, and Does 1 thru 100.
The Asian Journal said that it is distributed "in the Los Angeles Basin primarily at Filipino and Asian markets, restaurants, and places where Filipinos and Asians tend to congregate for business and social reasons." It is given away for free "and derives all of its revenues from advertising."
Defendant Balita Media, Inc. publishes the newspapers, "Weekend Balita" and "Midweek Balita," which are cumulatively distributed also twice weekly also in the Los Angeles Basin at no cost and also depends entirely on advertising for its revenues.
Co-defendant Verified Audit Circulation, Inc. provides "circulation auditing services" to both Asian Journal and Balita and other newspapers and magazines nationwide.
According to the complaint, Balita "represented in its advertising materials that they print and distribute more than 80,000 copies." And its circulation "is audited regularly by Certified Audit" or Verified Audit, which owns the trademark "V Verified Audit."
But Asian Journal believes Balita only "prints and distributes about 8,000 to 12,000 copies."
Both Number One
The complaint cited an article published in Weekend Balita, claiming that an audit conducted by Verified Audit shows "they deliver more copies than all other competitors," making it the "number one Filipino American newspaper in Southern California."
On the other hand, plaintiff Asian Journal claims to publish "35,000 copies per issue of its Los Angeles edition as certified by Verified Audit."
The Verified Audit describes Asian Journal as "the leading Filipino American community newspaper in its areas of coverage."
The Asian Journal said all its "representations, promotional materials and advertising to its advertisers, potential advertiser, readership and the community about the number it prints and distributes are true."
But is "unable to fairly compete in light of ongoing misrepresentations" of Balita of its distribution.
Asian Journal believes its agents see only a small fraction of Balita copies compared to Asian Journal at its distribution outlets. It added that Balita only "owns or leases a single delivery van to distribute its newspapers, while Asian Journal owns or leases a minimum of six vans.
Asian Journal believes "it is functionally impossible to distribute 80,000 newspapers, or even 29,000 newspapers, with a single van on a single day."
Asian Journal claims Verified Audit further permits Balita to use its name and logo to sell advertising to the public, although it is "unfair, fraudulent, and/or unfair deceptive, false or misleading advertising."
As a result, Asian Journal "has suffered injury in fact and has lost money as a result of the violations alleged herein in that advertisers are more apt to advertise with defendant than plaintiff."
The Asian Journal has asked the court that Balita "be preliminary and permanently enjoined from making or causing their agents from making any non-factual representations regarding the printing and distribution of their newspapers, and to advise their advertisers of their ongoing misrepresentations."

Interview: Expert lauds China's role in global multilateralism
Source: Xinhua| 2018-06-22 20:55:31|Editor: ZX
by Justice Lee Adoboe
ACCRA, June 21 (Xinhua) -- China now plays a significant role in global multilateralism, a Ghanaian international politics expert said.
Emmanuel Akwetey, executive director of Accra-based think-tank the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG), described the new development as "timely," in an interview with Xinhua on Wednesday.
"China is getting stronger...in many ways and the kind of investments it is putting into Africa is significant," the expert observed.
In December 2015, Chinese and African leaders attending the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) Summit in South Africa signed an action plan to strengthen China-Africa cooperation and promote the development of Africa in the next three years.
China offered 60 billion U.S. dollars of funding support to ensure the implementation of the package of programs, which covered various areas including industrialization, agricultural modernization, financial services, green development, poverty reduction and others.
Evaluating China's policy of opening up, the expert pointed out that China's growth from the inception of the policy, more than 30 years ago, had been phenomenal, with a lot of achievements.
"So we can say opening up has been big and it is a great success," he observed, adding that European countries such as France, Germany and Britain, among others, were all engaging on many fronts.
"It is growing in strength economically, politically, diplomatically, in trade, finance, development; and the indicators are stronger so it has become a world power in everything," the expert said, adding "so I think China has risen and is rising."

The Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat.
The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.
It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952 although that was not its primary purpose.
The Tower of London has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, the home of the Royal Mint, a public records office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. In the absence of the monarch, the Constable of the Tower, a powerful and trusted position during the medieval era.
The peak period of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures who had fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, were held within its walls.
Despite its enduring reputation as a place of torture and death, popularised by 16th-century religious propagandists and 19th-century writers, only seven people were executed within the Tower before the World Wars of the 20th century.
Executions were more commonly held on the notorious Tower Hill to the north of the castle, with 112 occurring there over a 400-year period. In the latter half of the 19th century, institutions such as the Royal Mint moved out of the castle to other locations, leaving many buildings empty.
In the United Kingdom, the Crown Jewels are more than 140 historic ceremonial objects, including the regalia and vestments worn by kings and queens at their coronation ceremony.
The collection is made up of crowns, sceptres, orbs, swords and robes, as well as many other priceless objects.
Far more than gold and precious stones they are potent symbols of 800 years of monarchy.
Most of the collection dates from around 350 years ago when Charles II acceded to the throne. The medieval regalia had either been sold or melted down by Oliver Cromwell, a republican who overthrew the monarchy in 1649, during the English Civil War.
A number of items are still used at coronations but many pieces, like the state trumpets and banqueting plate, have fallen out of use, and some were only designed to be used once, such as the Imperial Crown of India (right) made for King George V in 1911.
When not in use, the jewels are on public display, mainly in the Jewel House, a vault at the Tower of London, where they are seen by over two million visitors from across the world every year.
St Edwards Crown, shown left, is the current ceremonial and coronation crown, as worn by our current Queen.

You have a couple different options. You could replace the SmartDigest Ultra, Horse Guard, and Biotin with Mega-Dose for ease in feeding. In a 4 ounce dose you get a full dose of Horse Guard, 32 mg of biotin, and a complete digestive supplement. If you are looking for more of a grain, to replace all these supplements you would want to feed Simplete High Performance. It is fed in a 2 lb feeding, and it would also provide a joint support for your horse. Both are great options, just depends what you prefer to feed. With either option, you can add the Mare Magic.

Where are you from and what do you do? What is Team Orange and how did it come to be? Please tell the story of its origins. Team Orange began in 2000 when I joined a Women's Club hockey team in Madison. It began as something quite silly: two teammates and I had orange practice jerseys, so we called ourselves Team Orange. It was silly and simply fun. We remarked when others had orange on their jersey or socks, and called them Team Orange, too.
As the silly, child-like idea got bigger, it slowly moved away from being about the color and on to being about a state of mind. If folks were encouraging and had a positive attitude, they were on Team Orange. It's a state of mind. It's a way of thinking; perhaps a life motto. It is not flawless by any means; it is a good intent.
One friend designed a logo and another printed stickers and magnets for me. As folks would do something supportive and positive, I started using Team Orange as an adjective, telling them about Team Orange and offering a sticker for their hockey helmet.
But Team Orange really started for me as a child. My mom instilled it in me. Her core beliefs are to be encouraging and helpful and to work together. Her state of mind has greatly influenced that of mine and my siblings.
When you say, "It's a state of mind," what do you mean? Team Orange is a way of thinking, specifically a way of thinking about life as us all being here for a common purpose—to ultimately spread kindness. There is a quote by George Eliot, "What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?" Team Orange is based in that.
The state of mind is about being a good team player, having a good attitude, supporting others whether they are "on your team" or not, assuming the best out of folks, being encouraging, positive, and constructive. Being benevolent. It is a good intention, never perfection. It is kindness. Human kindness.
Who is in or on Team Orange? How does one become a member? Anyone can be on Team Orange. It is self-selection. If you think you belong, you are on Team Orange. (A little secret: Everyone has it in them.)
Team Orange began with hockey jerseys and expanded to bike and running jerseys as well.
Does one have to be an athlete to be a part of Team Orange? Team orange isn't about being an athlete. Athletics and team sports have simply been an easy avenue for me to spread the state of mind. Team Orange is about good intention and working together, and looking out for one another—similar to the mindset of team sports.
How can readers learn more about Team Orange? If you see someone sporting Team Orange sticker or gear, ask them about it. Folks can also contact me via teamorangeonline@gmail.com or check out the website at www.itsastateofmind.org

What a great perfume this is. Rich and complex yet totally wearable, Derby smells of old-fashioned luxury and style. It's the kind of perfume that should have been name-checked in The Great Gatsby (surely the worst-written major novel of the 20th century), and yet it was first launched as recently as 1985, when electropop ruled the airwaves and shoulder-pads the size of aircraft carriers filled the pages of the fashion magazines.
It was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain, the last member of the family to run the brand and a great perfumer in his own right: his other triumphs include Habit Rouge, Chamade and the fantastic Vétiver. Derby smells like crushed aromatic herbs when you first spray it on: rosemary and lavender with a hint of mint, but mixed with more exotic things like patchouli and sandalwood. Mace and pepper add a tiny touch of spice, while oakmoss, leather and vetiver give it extra depth and staying-power. After a while it smells more leathery than anything else, though still with herbs and spices mixed in – the scent of a Greek mountainside in summer.
For a long time Derby was quite hard to track down, which added to its mystique, but in 2005 Guerlain relaunched it as part of its Parisiens collection, at which point is was probably (though of course perfume companies never tell you these things) slightly 'tweaked' to change some of its ingredients (such as oakmoss) to comply with EU legislation. In 2011 it was repackaged in what I think is a rather cheap-looking balsawood frame, and its price went up as well: today it's one of Guerlain's most expensive fragrances, which I think is a shame, as it deserves to be widely worn.

Black XS for Men
Perfumes can suggest many things. They can be uplifting, outrageous, disgusting, sexy, hard, delicious, warm, cold, luxurious, even sad. It might seem a bit far-fetched to describe a perfume as silly, but that's what I think of Black XS by Paco Rabanne, and it's also why I like it.
Created by Oliver Cresp (co-creator of Thierry Mugler's love-it or loathe-it Angel) at perfume powerhouse Firmenich and licensed to fragrance multinational Puig, Black XS was launched in 2005. Its black-glass flip-top bottle originally came in an outer slip-case with a shirtless photo of the English model and amateur boxer Will Chalker, which added to its charm.
Packaging aside, its appeal is pretty simple: pump the spray button and you get an unexpectedly fruity blast of ripe strawberries – sweet, girly and completely at odds with the rather Gothic / Twilight-style design and lettering of the bottle. It's not what you'd call a complex fragrance, but occasionally it's fun to forget about trying to be cool and sophisticated: perfumes, like people, can sometimes take themselves too seriously, and there's a silliness about Black XS that makes me smile every time I spray it on.
What's really funny, though, is that Black XS doesn't actually have any strawberry in it at all – at least it's not among the official list of ingredients. What it does have is lemon, calamanzi (a kind of orange native to the Philippines), sage and what most perfume sites describe as 'tagete', which I'm assuming is an illiterate corruption of Tagetes, the Latin name for marigold.
The Mexican marigold, Tagetes erecta, is the source of an oil used in perfumery because of its attractive appley scent, and I wonder whether it's the combination of orange, lemon and apple that fools my nose into thinking that what I'm really smelling is strawberry? If the effect is intentional it's dead clever, but it's the kind of thing that professional perfumers do all the time. Personally I think it's magic.

We all have blind spots, and Dior Homme has definitely been one of mine. I was, very kindly, given a bottle some time ago, and I admired its clear glass-and-lucite design, but as for the perfume inside – I just didn't get it. It had excellent reviews, and it obviously sells well, so I thought I'd better give it another try.
Still no luck, I'm afraid. It's not horrible (which is a rarer attribute than you might expect), but neither does it make me go 'WOW!', which is the response I'm always hoping for. There's a hint of something in it that I really don't like, which it shares with a lot of other men's fragrances today – a slightly metallic, chemical smell, which might come from dihydromyrcenol or perhaps from ISO E Super, both (ab)used with gay abandon by contemporary perfumers.
So why the brilliant reviews? Am I just completely missing something? Actually, I suspect not. Although it was only launched in 2005, it seems that the original scent might well have been tinkered with and reformulated (quite possibly more than once), meaning that the bottle I have probably smells very little like the much-admired original. Which is a shame, as it did sound very appealing, not least because it was created by the talented Olivier Polge, son of Chanel's legendary in-house perfumer Jacques Polge.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the version I have and the original do seem to share at least one interesting quality. I've pointed out before that in itself perfume is genderless – how can a liquid be 'masculine' or 'feminine'? But there are definitely some ingredients and effects that, at least historically, have been more closely associated with women or men. Vetiver, for example, is considered a classic 'male' smell, while iris is widely regarded as and 'feminine' and 'floral' (even though the scent is extracted not from iris flowers but from its roots).
As its name far from subtly suggests, Dior Homme is aimed squarely at men, yet its main smell, even in my rather synthetic-smelling version, derives from iris; compare it with Chanel's superlative 1932 and you'll see what I mean. Either this shows that contemporary men are more sophisticated than some might say, or they're dumb enough to believe anything they're sold. I like to think the former, but maybe I'm deluding myself; what do you think?

i dont know the frequency for my system but i think is 2.4 i bought it from tinywirelles if that helps.
I would recommend teh Goof Proof Patch in the special projects section of the main page. You need to know the frequency of the system though, so that you can either leave it as is for 2.4GHz or scale it for another frequency. I'm using a 200% scaled one on a 1.2GHz receiver and it made kinda "toyish" system that gave me about 150 feet of range into one that works as far as I can see the plane, with no breakups. It's not hard to make, and you will be surprised at how well it works. I didn't change any thing on the transmitter, it still uses the little stock whip antenna.
Sorry the anwer is no, you need to find out the frequency of your system and build an aerial for that. As has been said the GPP is a good place to start. Try reading some old posts and I think you will learn a lot.

JEN Secretary, JENRing committee
We have a number of new industry job openings listed on our site.
Click here to view our job board.
Haptics, Music for the Hearing-Impaired: At the November 3rd "New Instrumentation for Performance" Seminar at RPI, Henry Lowengard demonstrated the use of large balloons to transmit vibrations of music and sounds. The above links to his project website where he puts much of his research on how to experience music with other senses, primarily, the sense of touch. Related work is going on at the VibraFusionLab in Canada.
AUMI, Adaptive Use Musical Instruments: Adaptive Use Musical Instruments (AUMI) software interface is a new musical instrument that enables people who have very limited controlled (voluntary) movement to independently engage in music making. The AUMI software interface enables the user to play sounds and musical phrases through movement and gestures. This is an entry to improvisation that enables exploration of sounds ranging from pitches to noises rather than learning set pieces.
Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, Cuban Players Collaborate in Style: In the decade since trumpeter Orbert Davis co-founded the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic with his colleague Mark Ingram, he has exhibited missionary zeal in disseminating his Third Stream agenda, merging jazz with elements from classical music. But perhaps none of his efforts so far have been as triumphal as the November 13th concert Scenes From Life: Cuba!, which took place at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago.
Jazz Journalists Association, 2015 'Best of Jazz' Selections: These are the 2015 "Best of Jazz" lists and commentaries compiled by Members of the Jazz Journalists Association.
Porter, All-Stars Celebrate Blue Note Records' 75th Anniversary at Sea: The first time vocalist Gregory Porter performed aboard the Queen Mary 2 during the inaugural voyage of the Blue Note/Cunard Jazz at Sea Festival in late October, no one knew quite what to expect—not the uninitiated cruise passengers who filed into the ocean liner's opulent Royal Court Theatre; not the small number of serious jazz fans in attendance; not even Porter and the all-star Blue Note 75th Anniversary Band that backed him during three performances on the seven-day transatlantic crossing. Pictured here: Kendrick Scott (left), Gregory Porter, Lionel Loueke, Don Was, Marcus Strickland, Robert Glasper, Keyon Harrold and Derrick Hodge aboard the Queen Mary 2 (Photo: Courtesy MGA Media Group)
Christina Przybilla with pianist Joel Forrester on Vince Guaraldi's Influences for his Charlie Brown music: Christina Przybilla talks to the pianist Joel Forrester about the possible influence of Vince Guaraldi's Charlie Brown music and the definitive influences from Monk, Ellington, Morton, Bach, Beethoven, and Webern, about meeting Thelonious Monk through the Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarther, about his repetitive composition "Industrial Arts" and how it got him fired from jobs or being told not to play this kind of music 17 times.
Institute of Jazz Studies Announces Berger-Carter Jazz Research Awards: Each year the Institute awards up to ten grants of $1,000 each. Half of the awards are designated for students in the Rutgers-Newark Master's Program in Jazz History and Research and half are awarded to scholars from other institutions or unaffiliated researchers for the purpose of visiting IJS in order to use its resources to further their research.
The Word Jazz in the Jazz World: This piece in Ethnomusicology Review was written by Alex Rodriguez who discusses "what it means that an Oregonian merchant marine mentioned the presence of a 'jazz band' in Arica, Chile in 1917."
Improvisation and the Syrian Refugee Crisis: In this piece, Paul Watkins discusses the ways in which social and musical improvisation can teach us about the merits of creative risk-taking in relation to the current Syrian refugee crisis. Learning to improvise imbues citizens with the important notion that creative risk-taking makes for more exciting and, while unpredictable to a degree, egalitarian societies. Watkins posits that we can fight the insular mechanics of an improvisation of fear with an improvisation of hope that challenges the anxiety that refugees destroy borders and culture, as if these things are pure, static, given, unchanging, and authentic.
When Rivers Meet: When Rivers Meet was an improvised performance that took place on November 29, 2014 at the River Run Centre in Guelph, Ontario, featuring the Guelph Symphony Orchestra conducted by Judith Yan; the Guelph Youth Jazz Ensemble directed by Brent Rowan; musicians Jeff Bird, Daniel Fischlin, and Lewis Melville; dancer Georgia Simms; and storyteller Ben Grossman. IICSI Improviser-in-Residence, Dong-Won Kim, the world-renowned Korean percussionist and long-time member of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble, served as conceptor and Artistic Director of the project. Barcode Free Music has now released a fully bilingual (English/Korean) 2-CD recording that features the event's large-scale group improvisations, traditional storytelling, interc ultural musical forms, dance interludes…even audience participation. Showcasing how diverse elements of a community can come together to make inspiring music using story and movement, When Rivers Meet brought together intergenerational audiences through words, sounds and movement that spoke to young and old alike.

        endcase
    end

endmodule

When I run this code with the sub-module codes included, I get the following error
ERROR:Xst:528 - Multi-source in Unit <Microprocessor> on signal <instruction<5>>; this signal is connected to multiple drivers.
Drivers are:
   Primary input port <instruction<5>>

I noticed most of my errors occur in the Register module, so I will also upload the register module.
`timescale 1ns / 1ps

module register(
    input [1:0] readReg1,
    input [1:0] readReg2,
    input [1:0] writeReg,
    input [7:0] writeData,
    input regWrite,
    input clock,
    output [7:0] readData1,
    output [7:0] readData2,
    output reg[7:0] regData //goes to BCD!
    );
    reg [3:0] register[7:0];
    wire readData1wire;
    wire readData2wire;

    assign readData1wire = register[readReg1];
    assign readData2wire = register[readReg2];

    always@(posedge clock)begin
    if(regWrite==1)begin
        register[writeReg] <= writeData;
    end
    regData <= writeData;
    end

    assign readData1 = readData1wire;
    assign readData2 = readData2wire;

endmodule

I noticed that that kind of error occurs when you're trying to assign values to the same variable multiple times in several always() loops. However I don't think I didn't do that in my code. Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A: Your problem is that you have multiple drivers of a signal. Specifically caused by this line (I've taken the liberty of formatting it in a sensible way):
register uut6(
    .readReg1(instruction54),
    .readReg2(instruction32),
    .writeReg(writeReg),
    .writeData(writeData),
    .regWrite(regW),
    .clock(clock),
    .readData1(instruction54),
    .readData2(instruction32),
    .regData(regData)
);

Your readData1 and readData2 signals are outputs from the register module. You connect these to instruction54 and instruction32 respectively. However these two signals are already driven by assign statements:
 assign instruction54 = instruction[5:4];
 assign instruction32 = instruction[3:2];

As such you have two sources driving the same signal.

Additionally, while not your specific issue, there is a mistake in the register module. Your signals readData1wire and readData2wire are declared as 1-bit wide, but you use them to connect two 8-bit signals. To be honest, I'm not sure why those signals are used at all, just assign to readData1 and readData2 directly.

Second bite at the cherry for QUB and NUIG in Sigerson Cup backdoor
Posted: 5:14 pm January 22, 2019
Electric Ireland Sigerson Cup 2019 Round Two
Wednesday January 23rd, The Dub, Belfast
Queen's University Vs NUIG
From Odhrán Crumley
In a break from tradition both Queen's and NUIG will have a second chance in the Sigerson Cup through the introduction of the backdoor.
Both sides will feel short-changed from their first round ties after narrowly losing out in games they will feel they could have won.
NUIG led at the break after Sligo's Nathan Mullen struck a first half major to cancel out Aaron Boyle's penalty goal.
The Galway side were beaten by Belfast college, St.Mary's after being pipped twice at the death with Daniel McKinless landing a late score to send the game to extra time before Stephen McConville repeated the feat to send the game to extra time.
Maurice Sheridan's side then lost the resulting free-taking competition 4-2.
Queen's recovered from a slow start but fell short kicking seven wides in a one point loss at home to Maynooth spearheaded by Padraig Fogarty.
Shane Mullholland's side looked comfortably defensively holding the Leinster men to nine points with Armagh's, Oisin Lappin alongside the Derry duo of Conor McCluskey and Niall Keenan.
"The game is back here and that is a positive for us. Looking at their last game and the result, they are a really good side. I said to the boys three month ago that we are probably going to be underdogs in every game we play.
"I wanted that to be part of our identity, that we knew that we were going to have to dig in and that we knew we would have to make ourselves hard to beat. That we had to work hard and outwork teams all over the pitch," Mullholland told the Gaelic Life after the game.
The Belfast college lacked a little firepower in the transition from defence and attack which may have been down to the screen applied by the Maynooth men.
It is believed that once again, Queen's will be without Odhran Eastwood and James McAuley who will be with their club, Naomh Eanna who qualified for the AIB All-Ireland Intermediate Final on Saturday February 9th.
Another close contest is expected with both sides setting up with systems that ensure they are very difficult to break down and beat however, last year's finalists will travel north with the favourites tag.
The winners of the tie will meet Garda College in Round Three after they overcame Sligo IT in the first round.


She won our hearts in movies like Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sabrina and Roman Holiday, while her impeccable style still inspires today. But while we all know the image of elegant Audrey in, say, her Holly Golightly ensemble, you might not recognize the icon in these candid shots.
Before her career skyrocketed, Hepburn lounged on the roof with other chorus girls from the show "Sauce Tartare" at London's Cambridge Theatre.
Ever wonder where Hepburn got her chic style? It was from her mother, Dutch Baroness Ella Van Heemstra. Here, the pair walk alongside one another in Rome.
A trained ballerina, Hepburn was well-versed in the art of dance. Here, she practices at the barre.
Leave it to this fun-loving lady to make even the coldest of days look like a grand ol' time.
Hepburn takes a minute to herself on the set of Sabrina, the film that eventually made her a massive star. She's wearing a hat by Hubert de Givenchy, whose designs she would become famous for wearing.
After filming Roman Holiday in New York City, Hepburn returned home to a big "welcome back" cake at the Claridge's Hotel in London.
Only Hepburn could look this stunning while getting ready.
Looking ethereal and thoughtful in a stunning color photo, Hepburn writes a letter while sitting on a log.
Naturally, Hepburn would be great with animals. Here, she poses holding a young deer.
Mel Ferrer and Hepburn affectionately look at their son Sean Hepburn Ferrer, born in 1960.
How cute is Hepburn's fluffy pet poodle? Here, she poses with the pup while on a film set. Don't you wish you could bring your dog to work like this?
Both Hepburn and her husband Mel Ferrer are looking great in checker-print pieces while posing with a bull.
That's right, she even loved the fish! Well, this one's not technically alive, but still, you can see the delight in her eyes.
Everyone needs a touchup now and again, even Audrey Hepburn. Behind the scenes of How to Steal A Million, she sits in the makeup chair.
Hepburn barely looks bothered that this dove is perched right on her shoulder. Talk about a real-life Snow White!
Of course Hepburn looks fantastic even when drenched, swimming in the South of France while filming Two for the Road.
Before models made goofy facial expressions all over Instagram, Hepburn led the pack with her cute and funny faces, like this one on the set of How to Steal A Million in Paris.
While shooting Two for the Road, Hepburn took a quick break for some cricket. Now, if only we could keep our hair looking so nice while playing sports.
Looking like an especially glamorous spy, Hepburn walks (holding an image of herself, no less) in New York wearing a camel-colored trench and cool shades.
Even famous actresses need to take a breather sometimes. In this portrait, Hepburn has a moment to herself while wearing a chic hat and pretty pearl earrings.
Looking every bit the cool couple, Hepburn walks alongside her husband, psychiatrist Andrea Dotti, in Rome.
A big consistent in Hepburn's career: The ability to dress perfectly for any occasion. She attended the 47th Academy Awards wearing a marvelous beaded and bow-tied design.
Hepburn attended plenty of soirees in her life, including Art Buchwald's party at The Bistro in Los Angeles, a snapshot of which is seen here.
Somehow, Hepburn manages to make even poofy '80s hair look good, as proven by this shot with Ben Gazzara from the set of They All Laughed.
Proving that age means nothing when it comes to beauty, Hepburn poses for a photo at the Oscars de la Mode at the Paris Opera House.
Considering she was one of the design world's biggest darlings, it makes sense that she remained close friends with designers like Yves Saint Laurent, seen here with Hepburn in Paris.
Recognize that face on the right? It's a 32-year-old Kevin Spacey. Here, he and Hepburn pose with a guest at the Minskoff Theatre in New York City. Hepburn was 62.
Don't forget all the beauty that Hepburn brought to the world. Add this graphic to your Pinterest boards before you go.

James H. McCartney had covered every president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Bill Clinton. McCartney covered the White House, the State department, the Pentagon and relevant committees on Capitol Hill. He reported from about 30 countries, including Vietnam, the Soviet Union, the Middle East and Europe. After retirement from daily journalism, he taught courses in foreign policy and politics at Georgetown University. McCartney's papers, including about 4,000 of his articles, are in the Special Collections Research Center at Georgetown University's Lauringer Library.
Molly Sinclair McCartney worked as a newspaper reporter more than 25 years, including 14 years at the Washington Post. In 2012 she was appointed a Woodrow Wilson Public Scholar in Washington D.C. to do the research and interviews needed to finish America's War Machine.
"You knew, if you were a government spokesman, that you'd better have it straight and you'd better have the facts, because he'd keep coming at you…He was not there to enhance the government. He was there to inform the people. I didn't know anyone I respected more than Jim." ―Hodding Carter, former Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and State Department spokesman

Q: Bonding strain gauges to ABS As the question says, I've been looking for the best way to bond strain gauges to Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). It will be a circular cross section ABS piece. I'm not sure if this is an electronics question per se, but the application is in this field. If not, I'd appreciate it if someone were to point out which forum to ask in.
[Further explanation: to be used for a torsion testing machine as the sensitive element which measures the torque applied on the specimen, which would be some sort of bone substitute. The torque is low, around 2 Nm, which is why I need a material which exibits more strain than aluminium or the like. ]

A: Superglue has worked well for bonding strain gauges and accelerometers to plastic for me in the past.

Swiss highly respected bank Vontobel announced the launch of a custody solution for the digital assets known as Digital Asset Vault. The solution is based on Hardware Security Module (HSM) technology and has embedded it into their banking infrastructure.
Switzerland has come to be known in the world of finance as a country of importance in crypto adoption, and as if that is not enough, now it's taking strides to the next level. Vontobel bank is launching a "merge" of both the traditional finance and the cryptocurrencies through Digital Asset Vault a custody service which treats them similarly.
The market requires a solution that meets required standards of financial intermediaries regarding the security of custody of the digital assets as well as an end-to-end service offering. For that reason, Vontobel has taken that step to claim the bragging rights of becoming the first traditional custodian to meet those required standards.
The move allows financial intermediaries like asset manager and banks to offer the customers more secure as well as an easier way to buy, hold or transfer the digital assets in an unprecedented infrastructural standard.
Also, the owners of the digital assets will be granted direct access to the holdings with an exclusive privilege to personal private keys.
Vontobel may be pumping the chest, but within the last few months, some financial institutions such as America's Fidelity and Canada's Versa Bank both took the same route to offer the digital asset custody service. With Vontobel, the users have been provided a high-tech encryption option that complies with legal stipulations in force of the country.
Emerging client base will have it better to build on the digital asset's economy and have a flexible channel of securely managing their holdings. The Digital Asset Vault is more than a logical evolution. Institutional investments expect an influx and hence integrated services like this will be necessary, with security most essential.
Switzerland is shaping its digital asset industry as well as the blockchain as a whole to becoming the most conducive environments for development. Crypto adopters have hopes for positive outcomes in the country.

Bharat Biotech vaccine for COVID-19 will not be available in the market from 15 August 2020
By Chaitanya Kumar Gundapu On July 30th, 2020
A post claiming that Bharat Biotech has received permission from the central government to launch the vaccine for COVID-19 and that the vaccine will be available in the market from 15 August 2020 is doing rounds on social media. The claimants are posting the letter from ICMR to Bharat Biotech to support their claim. Through this article lets fact-check the claim made in the post.
Claim: Vaccine for COVID-19 by Bharat Biotech will be available in the market from 15 August 2020.
Fact: The ICMR letter only mentions that they envisage to launch the vaccine by 15 August 2020, and not make the vaccine available in the market. Bharat Biotech founder had said that if the clinical trials of Covaxin go well and meet the highest safety and efficacy standards, and if the regulators approve of them, it can be available for mass use by early 2021. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
If we closely observe the letter which is going viral, it is said in the letter that they envisage to launch the vaccine by 15 August 2020, after all clinical trials, however the final outcome will depend on the cooperation of all clinical trial sites involved in this project.
When we ran a search on internet using the keywords 'ICMR Bharat Biotech Vaccine' we found several news articles reporting ICMR-Bharath Biotech to launch COVID vaccine by 15 August 2020, these articles quoted the letter written by ICMR to Bharat Biotech. These news articles can be seen here and here. Hence, we can say that the letter is a genuine one.
As ICMR attracted criticism for their haste regarding the launch of the vaccine, they clarified through a press release that 'ICMR's process is exactly in accordance with the globally accepted norms to fast-track the vaccine development for diseases of pandemic potential wherein human and animal trials can continue in parallel'. Also, in the press release it said their intention is to that to make sure red tape and slow file movement do not become hindrance to the development of the vaccine.
Also, talking to Mint, an ICMR official on condition of anonymity said "Our internal communication is being misinterpreted. We only said that we envisage to have a vaccine by 15 August 2020, and it is not a deadline. We have not said that we will launch a vaccine by then. The process can be expedited but the vaccine still will have to undergo all safety clinical trials".
Also, in an interview with New Indian Express, Dr Ella, Bharat Biotech founder had said that 'if the clinical trials of Covaxin go well and meet the highest safety and efficacy standards, and if the regulators approve of them, it can be available for mass use by early 2021'.
To sum it up, ICMR letter asking Bharat Biotech to fast track approvals is misinterpreted as permission to launch the vaccine for public use and is being shared as proof that the vaccine will be available in the market from 15 August 2020.

A new study by demographer John Bongaarts, Population Council Vice President and Distinguished Scholar, has found that mortality projections from most low-mortality countries are more pessimistic than they should be. The reason for this flaw is that existing projections fail to recognize that fewer people smoke today than used to. As a result, there will be a future decline in smoking-related mortality. This suggests that with more people living longer, pension and health care costs in coming decades will likely be higher than previously estimated.
A country's future mortality trajectory has important implications for health and social policy, especially in countries with aging populations where pension and health care costs are rising steeply.
Developed countries--such as the United States, Japan, and most countries of Europe--often have government agencies that make mortality projections (e.g., the Actuaries of the Social Security Administration in the US), and the United Nations Population Division makes projections for 238 countries and regions. All current mortality projections foresee substantial increases in future life expectancy. However, Bongaarts finds that the increases in life expectancy are likely to be even greater than current estimates suggest.
Nearly all methods for projecting mortality ignore trends in causes of death. Rather, they rely wholly or in part on extrapolation of past trends in mortality rates, longevity measures, or mortality models. Bongaarts examined whether mortality projections could be improved by taking into account trends in smoking. He focused on trends in death rates and causes of death in 15 countries with high life expectancy and reliable data on causes of death: Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Bongaarts studied mortality data gathered between 1955 and 2010.
A problem arises because most mortality projection methods ignore the past rise and the likely future decline in smoking-related deaths. "Making explicit adjustments for the distorting effects of smoking is likely to improve the accuracy of projections," says Bongaarts. Bongaarts did not find that it would be possible to improve mortality projections by making adjustments for other causes of death. Unlike other causes of death, future trends in smoking mortality can be predicted with a high degree of certainty.
"Worldwide, we are making notable progress in reducing the number of people who smoke," says Bongaarts. "This not only has immediate health benefits, but also long-term public policy implications. To adequately prepare for longer-living older populations, countries must take smoking trends into account."
The study, "Trends in Causes of Death in Low-Mortality Countries: Implications for Mortality Projections," is included in the June 2014 issue of Population and Development Review, a journal published by the Population Council. It is now available free of charge: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1728-4457.2014.00670.x/pdf.
