Celebrated actress Rozina is a multiple National Film Award winner. In her lengthy acting career, she has received the adulation of millions. Besides Bangladesh, she has acted in the films of Kolkata, Nepal and Karachi.
Originally from Rajbari district, Rozina's family name was Renu. As a child she often visited cinema halls and dreamt of seeing herself on the silver screen. The first movie she watched at Chitra Cinema Hall in Rajbari was "Saat Bhai Champa".
Rozina started her career as a theatre artist. On her arrival in Dhaka, she played a character in the drama "Shaistaganj". But a moment after the start of the stage show, it came to halt due to a disruption. Later, through her theatre association, she met some film artistes and was offered a minor role in the film "Janwar". She received an honorarium of merely Taka 10 for the project.
Subsequently, Rozina enrolled for dance classes at BAFA. In the meantime, she turned her sights to serious acting in cinema. She signed up for a film "Mintu Amar Naam" directed by AJ Mintu where she was expected to be cast against Sohel Rana. In a cruel twist of fate, however, she was dropped from the movie eventually. Her name was changed to Rozina from Renu for the movie by director Mohiuddin.
Not one to give up, she stayed at Eskaton and made her way through acting in plays. A few days later, she was dropped from two other films "Sagor Bhasa" and "Aina".
But the undeterred Rozina didn't lose sight of the big screen. Although Rozina she had no film offers, she continued working with Fakhrul Hasan Bairagi and Chatku Ahmed in plays.
Finally her persistence paid off. In 1977, she was offered the role of heroine in the film "Rajmahal" directed by F Kabir Chowdhury where her co-star was the then heartthrob Wasim. The movie became hugely popular and brought her to the spotlight.
Soon, she became very busy with a number of films based on social themes as well as action and drama.
The actress became a regular face on the silver screen till 1993. Her assignments included "Chokher Moni", "Sonar Cheya Dami", "Matir Manush", "Shohor Theke Dure", "Abhiman", "Anarkali", "Bini Sutar Mala", "Rakhe Allah Mare Ke", "Sohag Milon", "Sath Maa", "Taser Ghar", "Goli Theke Rajpath", "Shiri Farhad", "Bhaggalipi", "Daku o Darbesh", "Warish", "Rangin Rupban", "Hasu Amar Hasu", "Rosher Baidani", "Razia Sultana", "Kosai", "Jibon Dhara" and "Sabuj Mia".
Rozina acted in around 350 films of Dhaka, Kolkata, Nepal and Karachi. In 1980, she first won the National Film Award for "Kasai". In 1984, she was accorded an award for the film "Suruj Mia" and for "Jibondhara" in 1988.
Her Tollywood movie "Abichar" was dubbed in Hindi and Bengali. She was rarely seen in front of the camera after 1993. However, she made a return in the Bangladeshi film "Rakkhushi" in 2005.
Rozina has been absent from the big screen for the last few years. In the meantime, she has recently directed two serials "Mejdidi" and "Borodidi" based on the novels of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Moreover, she played the title role in "Mejdidi". In addition, she made a play "Badnam" based on the story by Rabindranath Tagore. She also made several TV plays based on the story of Kazi Nazrul Islam.

Derrick Rose was a very late scratch on Monday, although we did say in an early blurb that he "seems doubtful." His toe injury won't go away, he's still wearing a walking boot and remains day-to-day. He'll be doubtful for Tuesday's game at Phoenix, then the Bulls are off until Friday, which seems like the most realistic target date for his return. Just stay tuned Tuesday and make sure he's officially ruled out.
The Heat have "no timetable" for a return date on Dwyane Wade, although he hasn't been ruled out for Tuesday's game, yet. His ankle sprain wasn't pretty and owners just have to hope he feels bette! r tonight and gives it a go. But the reality is he could also miss the entire week.
Chris Paul missed Monday's game against the Nets with his hamstring injury, but is traveling with the team. That means he could play tonight at Utah, so consider him a game-time decision for now.
Carmelo Anthony played through his wrist and ankle issues on Monday and had 33 points, eight boards, five assists and three steals in another ugly Knicks loss. Hopefully you had him in your lineup, where he should stay. He said he tweaked his ankle, but fully expects to play again on Wednesday.
Stephen Curry doesn't sound likely to play on Tuesday due to his sprained ankle. H! e says he's close to 100 percent, but owners should probably be thankful he'll get an extra game to heal. My guess is we'll see him Wednesday at New Jersey.
Eric Gordon is targeting returning from his sore knee early next week. This is great news, but owners will be gun shy and worried about his next inju! ry.
Andrea Bargnani was out again with his calf injury. The good news is it's not as bad as the Raps originally feared, but the bad news is he could miss more games. Consider him questionable for Wednesday.
Andrew Bogut returned from a concussion and had 20 points, 11 boards and three blocks.
Spencer Hawes had 10 points, 11 boards and hit a couple threes on Monday. He's been dealing with a sore back and didn't play well in his return, but looked better yesterday. Hopefully the problem is behind him.
Evan Turner was out Monday with a right thigh contusion and is day! -to-day, despite saying he would play through the injury. It doesn&rsq uo;t sound serious.
Andray Blatche returned to action from his shoulder injury and had 11 points and 12 rebounds off the bench. I doubt he's coming off the bench all season, or for much longer, and he should be owned in most leagues. I was thrilled to see him sitting there in a 14-team league on Monday morning and grabbed him.
Jose Juan Barea wants to play through his ankle injury on Wednesday, which might cool off a hot Wayne Ellington, who has scored 15 and 13 points in his last two games.
Trevor Ariza sounds likely to return from his groin injury this week and shou! ld go straight back into the starting lineup for the Hornets.
Rashard Lewis missed Monday with a sore knee, as Chris Singleton got another start. While Singleton's production hasn't exactly been mind-blowing, it is pretty clear that you can stick a fork in Lewis.
Derrick Favors is listed as doubtful for Tuesday with a sprained ankle. This just means that Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson should be in all starting lineups, no questions asked.
Vince Carter sprained his foot on the final play of Monday's game and is day-to-day. He was playing well coming in, but wasn't great last night, and should probably be left on waivers with the injury.
For all the rest of the injury news you need, check out the Rotoworld Injury Report.
John Wall had a career-high 38 points, eight assists, six rebounds, four steals and a block in Monday's loss to the Rockets, and I think I speak for all his owners when I say 'it's about time.' Maybe this will kick start his season, which has been a bit of a disaster until this gem.
Russell Westbrook scored 26 po! ints, filled out the stat sheet and hit some dagger threes to close out the Celtics last night. When he's rolling, he's as fun to own as any player in the league. Especially when he's shimmying and trying to dance like Michael Jackson.
Ryan Anderson scored a career-high 30 with seven 3-pointers and seven rebounds, and is having a career season. He will cool off from downtown, where he's shooting a ridiculous 45 percent, but should produce all season long. Ride him if you own him.
Marreese Speights had 16 points, 12 rebounds and a block, and while he's off to a slow start, this line should be a sign of things to come, and he should be owned/held in most leagues.
J.J. Redick had 21 points and three 3-pointers. It sounds like Jason Richardson could miss the whole week with his knee injury, meaning Redick should be in lineups until his return.
Samuel Dalembert had 20 points, seven rebounds and three more blocks on Monday, as the slump and slow start are officially over. I preached patience with Sammy D and am just hoping you all hung in there with him.
Nicolas Batum had 19 points, six rebounds and two 3-pointers, and was the player of the game for the blazers. We've been asking for more minutes and Mar! cus Camby's ankle injury has delivered them. Based on Batum's last two lines, he's a must-start player until Camby is back.
MarShon Brooks had 19 points, eight rebounds and two 3-pointers Monday, and has quickly become one of my favorite players to watch. There will be peaks and valleys throughout the season, but I'm going to try to hold through the good and bad.
Paul Pierce hit 8-of-15 shots from the field (including two threes) for 24 points on Monday against the Thunder, and also added five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. Hopefully the heel is feeling better and he's ready to start doing this on a consistent basis after some recent struggles.
Leandro Barbosa had 22 points and two 3-pointe rs on Monday, and has now scored in double figures in six straight games and topped 20 points in three of those. I picked him up in a few leagues over the past few days and he's definitely worth a look if you have a hole to fill. I just hope he can keep it going once DeMar DeRozan heats back up.
Taj Gibson had 16 points, five boards, two steals and three blocks for the Bulls on Monday. He's been hot for several games now and is embarrassing Joakim Noah along the way. You have to think Noah will eventually figure it out and quiet Gibson's roll, but for now, he's worth monitoring closely in most leagues.
Mickael Pietrus had 14 points and three 3-pointers in Monday's loss for the Celtics and is worth keeping an eye on from here on out. He should be their sixth man going forward.
Wayne Ellington has scored 15 and 13 points in his last two games for the Wolves and is simply worth a watchful eye for now. Luke Ridnour, Ricky Rubio and Kevin Love are rolling right now and all three should be in all lineups. Love has started off the season with 13 straight double-doubles, becoming just the fifth player in NBA history to do so.
Coach ! Keith Smart is hinting of lineup changes after Monday's loss to the Timberwolves, but I'm not sure what they would be. John Salmons, J.J. Hickson and Marcus Thornton might be on a short leash right now, so stay tuned for more news out of Sacramento soon. They're off until Wednesday.
Kobe Bryant hit just 7-of-22 shots for 14 points in a win over the Mavs and failed to hit 40 points after doing so in four straight games. OK, so he's human.
JaVale McGee was benched for the final nine minutes of the fourth quarter in Monday's game after throwing himself an off-the-! backboard pass on an open-court dunk when the 1-11 Wizards were down by six points late in the third quarter. He's still a fantasy beast and is going to play, despite the theatrics and it's worth clicking on the link to see the madness for yourself.
Chris Kaman was benched for Jason Smith on Monday, but Smith only got 11 minutes and two points. Kaman played just 23 minutes and Carl Landry just 10, so I have no idea what Monty Williams is doing here. Emeka Okafor had a nice line and I'd recommend just hanging onto Kaman and see where this train wreck is heading for the rest of the week.
Amare Stoudemire is not injured, but you wouldn't know it from looking at his line. Ten points, two rebounds and no blocks. Yuck.
Speaking of yuck, Tyrus Thomas had just one point, one board and one steal in 16 minutes. He's starting for the Bobcats, which is about the only nice thing you can say about him. Then when you cut him, he'll blow up for 16 points, nine rebounds, three steals and two blocks because that's how he rolls. And then when you pick him back up and put him in your lineup...well, you get the idea.
Boris Diaw bottomed out playing just 11 minutes on Monday and is now on the trading block. I imagine he'll have value again at some point this season, but I'm prepared to dump him across the board if nothing changes by Sunday.
Anthony Morrow came off the bench (behind DeShawn Stevenson) for the first time in six games, just as owners finally got him back in lineups. Avery Johnson is not a fantasy-friendly coach, and Morrow's 16 minutes of nothing was painful for many of us. Morrow had been as hot as any player in the league, so let's just hope this one a one-game fluke.
James Harden didn't do much with his minutes on Monday while Thabo Sefolosha took over his role and scored 19 points. I'm not worried about this one. Serge Ibaka's struggles continued with six points, four boards and four blocks in 23 minutes. I'm glad I don't own him, but his trade value is too low to move right now. I think owners should just continue to hang on and move him once he's trending upward.
Zaza Pachulia came off the bench behind Jason Collins in the Hawks win and played just 17 minutes. While this is a bit of a concern, Collins is nothing more than a defensive presence, and Pachulia should be held for now. ! ;Marvin Williams missed all five of his shots yesterday, but I still think he's worth owning with Al Horford done for the season. Josh Smith, Joe Johnson and Jeff Teague all posted big lines and look like the primary beneficiaries to the loss of Horford.

Metals Stocks
A Guide to Nickel Applications and Demand
Amanda Kay - January 28th, 2018
What are the main nickel applications? Investors should be aware of the many uses for this base metal before putting money into the space.
The nickel price may not be anywhere near its 2014 glory days, when it reached 20,000 per tonne. However, it's on its way back up, and was sitting at around $12,400 as of mid-January.
What's pushing the nickel price back up? Well, there are more uses for the base metal than ever before, and that is driving demand. In particular, many investors are excited about nickel's growing use in lithium-ion batteries, which are critical to electric vehicles.
With that in mind, it's worth taking a look at nickel applications, and where demand for the metal stands. Read on to learn where nickel is used and how much demand is expected to rise in the coming years.

Nickel demand
Nickel demand is growing at approximately 4 percent per year, with stable consumption driven by its status as a universal staple in stainless steel and other products around the world.
However, as mentioned, some market watchers believe nickel demand could increase as electric vehicle production ramps up. Prices of a "high-purity form of nickel used in batteries have been surging, with demand expected to grow tenfold by 2025, to 570,000 tons" says Fair Observer.
What role does nickel play in the lithium-ion batteries that power electric cars? Nickel is used in the cathodes of these batteries, and is actually the main element used. It's been called the most important lithium-ion battery ingredient because it improves power and endurance.
Nickel prices from January 2017 to December 2017. Graph via Infomine.
In recent months, attention has been drawn to the potential for nickel to be used as a substitute for cobalt in lithium-ion batteries. Nickel is currently cheaper than cobalt, which makes it an appealing alternative, and battery producers in Asia are looking to nickel to bring down costs. Overall, the demand outlook for nickel looks positive moving forward in 2018 and beyond.
Nickel applications
Now that we've laid out the nickel demand landscape, let's take a closer look at some of the main nickel applications. It's worth noting that there are around 3,000 alloys containing nickel that are in everyday use. We of course won't be covering them all, but we will go over the main uses for the base metal.
Stainless steel — Nickel is most commonly known for its use in the production of stainless steel, and rightly so — stainless steel accounts for 66 percent of the use for nickel. Ferronickel, an alloy containing about 35 percent nickel and 65 percent iron, is key to the production of this material.
Through stainless steel, nickel is used in a huge variety of sectors, including electrical, building and construction, engineering, metal goods and tubular products. Stainless steels with higher nickel content are used for making high-demand products like gas turbines; nickel pig iron, a low-grade ferronickel made in China, is popular as well. Nickel is useful in stainless steel because it enhances corrosion resistance in metals, thus extending the lifespan of many products.

Corrosion-resistant alloys — Nickel is also used in the creation of non-ferrous alloys, which are used for coatings, kitchenware, power generation, jewelry and mobile phones to name a few. Nickel-based alloys include "Ni-base superalloy, Ni-base corrosion resistant alloy, Ni-base wear-resistant alloy, Ni-base precision alloy, Ni-base shape memory alloy and Hydrogen storing alloy," according to Metalpedia. These are often used in industries such as electronics, energy, aviation and shipbuilding.
Nickel coatings/platings — The base metal is also widely found in coatings, which are used to make hard-wearing coatings known as nickel-plating or electroplating. These can be used to protect from corrosion and wear resistance, or to decorate surfaces. Decorative coatings offer a "high luster finish," and can be found in coins. Electroplating is used throughout the automotive industry in rims, trims, exhaust pipes and bumpers.
Lithium-ion batteries — As noted above, nickel is used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. While battery production only accounts for about 2 percent of the metal's current use, this is set to increase going forward as the electric vehicle craze continues.
What uses do you see for nickel in the future? Do you see the nickel price continuing to climb?

New analysis reveals shocking surge in gender gap in retirement incomes' New analysis reveals shocking surge in gender gap in retirement incomes'
'New analysis reveals 'shocking surge' in gender gap in retirement incomes'
Steve Webb
Director of Policy, Royal London
Detailed analysis of newly published official statistics reveals a shocking growth in the gap between the retirement incomes of men and women, according to mutual insurer Royal London. The 'Pensioner Income series', published annually by DWP, provides a full breakdown of pensioner incomes over the last two decades and includes separate figures for single male pensioners and single female pensioners. The latest data is for 2016/17.
Detailed analysis of the figures shows:
- Ten years ago (in 2006/07) the average retired single woman had a gross income of £294 per week and her male counterpart had £325 – a gap of £31 per week; in 2016/17, the gap had nearly trebled to £85, with the average woman now on £316 per week whilst the average man is on £401 per week; women's incomes have risen by just 7% in real terms over the period compared with an increase of 23% for men;
- Two main factors seem to be driving the growing chasm between men and women:
a) Earnings
Over the last decade, the real earnings of single women in retirement have largely flatlined and are actually now slightly down on ten years ago (£21 per week in 2006/07 v £19 per week in 2016/17). But for men, the average has more than doubled, from £17 per week in 2006/07 to £37 per week in 2016/17.
b) Occupational pensions
Whilst occupational pension incomes have risen for both men and women, there has been a particularly sharp increase for men. Women have seen their average occupational pension income rise from £58 to £81 over the decade, but men's occupational pensions have shot up from £83 per week to £125 per week, stretching their lead over women.
Commenting, Steve Webb, Director of Policy at Royal London said:
"These figures reveal a shocking surge in the gap between men and women when it comes to living standards in retirement. Having a decent occupational pension and the potential to top up pensions with earnings are the two key factors in having a good income past pension age. Much more needs to be done to tackle the disadvantages faced by women in the later life jobs market as well as doing more to ensure women are building up better pensions in their own right in the future."

The DWP's annual pensioner income series statistics can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/pensioners-incomes-series-financial-year-201617. In addition to the main report, full statistical tables are also available which form the basis for Royal London's research.
DWP provide data separately for couple pensioners, single male pensioners and single female pensioners. Since the published data does not show the male/female split *within* couples, this analysis relates only to single male and single female pensioners. In 2016/17 there were 3.1 million single female pensioners and 1.4 million single male pensioners.
All figures are in 2016/17 prices.
Royal London is the largest mutual life, pensions and investment company in the UK, with funds under management of £117 billion, 8.8 million policies in force and 3,745 employees. Figures quoted are as at 30 June 2018.

Řada E 42, resp. od roku 1970 242 Deutsche Reichsbahn bývalé NDR je elektrická lokomotiva určená především pro nákladní dopravu a osobní vlaky. Je pomalejší variantou lokomotivy řady E 11. Několik lokomotiv bylo ještě do roku 1992 nasazeno v provozu DB AG. Několik lokomotiv této řady bylo provozováno i ve Švýcarsku.

Konstrukce

Mechanická část

Podvozky jsou svařované konstrukce ze skříňových nosníků. Na příčníku jsou zavěšeny tlapové motory. Přenos tažných sil je uskutečněn přes otočný čep. Podvozky jsou vzájemně propojeny mezipodvozkovou vazbou pro snížení opotřebení při průjezdu obloukem.

Rám lokomotivy je taktéž svařované konstrukce. Podlahové plechy stanoviště i strojovny jsou součástí rámu. Lokomotivní skříň je samonosná lehká konstrukce a je k rámu přivařena.

Lokomotiva je vybavena samočinnou tlakovou brzdou, přímočinnou brzdou a vřetenovou ruční brzdou.

Elektrická část

Na střeše lokomotivy jsou umístěny dva pantografové sběrače se dvěma kontaktními lištami. Hlavní vypínač je tlakový, je schopen rozepnout výkon 200 MVA. Transformátor je plášťový, vzduchem chlazený. Má 15 vývodů pro trakci, dva pro topení vlaku a jeden pro pomocné pohony. Přepínač odboček má 14 jízdních stupňů. Cize chlazené dvanáctipólové jednofázové sériové motory mají kompenzační i komutační vinutí.

Výkon

Dle zadání měly lokomotivy ř. E 42 utáhnout na rovině vlak o hmotnosti 1.800 t rychlostí 80 km/h a na stoupání 5 ‰ nákladní vlak o hmotnosti 1.000 t rychlostí 60 km/h nebo osobní vlak o hmotnosti 500 t rychlostí 90 km/h. Ve skutečnosti byly dosažené hodnoty ještě lepší – na rovině utáhly požadovanou rychlostí vlak o hmotnosti 1.900 t a na stoupání 5 ‰ tisícitunový vlak osmdesátikilometrovou rychlostí a rychlostí 90 km/h vlak o hmotnosti 825 t. .

Vznik a vývoj

První dva prototypy (E 42 001 a 002) dodala firma LEW Hennigsdorf v roce 1962. V následujícím roce započala sériová výroba – do roku 1976 bylo dodáno celkem 292 strojů. Vedle nasazení v nákladní dopravě a na osobních vlacích byly nasazeny i v sítích lipského a drážďanského S-Bahnu.

V průběhu dodávek provedl výrobce na lokomotivách některé konstrukční změny, ty se ovšem neosvědčily a lokomotivy byly uváděny do podoby staršího provedení.

Přestavby

Některé lokomotivy ř. E 42 byly podle potřeb provozu přestavěny na řadu 211 (E 11 po přeznačení). Po dodávkách řady 243 se naopak přebytečnými staly některé lokomotivy řady 211, takže DR měla k 1. 1. 1992 ve stavu 305 strojů ř. 242, resp. 142. V následujících letech již byly tyto lokomotivy většinou sešrotovány

Nasazení ve Švýcarsku

18 lokomotiv bylo na přelomu let 1993/1994 prodáno do Švýcarska společnosti Lokoop - sdružení Mittelthurgaubahn (MThB), Südostbahn (SOB) a Reisebüro Mittelthurgau (RMT). Lokomotivy prošly opravou, při které byl sejmut jeden sběrač a na jeho místo dosazen odporník elektrodynamické brzdy, bylo jim dosazeno násobné řízení firmy Stadler Rail AG a byly nasazeny do nákladní dopravy na východě Švýcarska jako řada Ae 477 (později Ae 476). Po fúzi SOB s BT ovšem nová SOB ze sdružení vystoupila, MThB upadla do finančních problémů a byla zlikvidována a lokomotivy se staly přebytečnými. Všech 18 lokomotiv zakoupila v roce 2003 německá společnost Westfälische Almetalbahn GmbH (WAB) a provozuje je po celém území Německa. Počátkem roku 2008 opustila Švýcarsko poslední lokomotiva bývalé řady 242 - Ae 476 012 (ex Ae 476 468 ex DB 142 042). Tato lokomotiva byla do Švýcarska zakoupena jako první - samostatně společností SOB mimo Lokoop.

Muzejní lokomotiva
V současné době existuje jediný muzejní stroj. Spolek Thüringer Eisenbahnverein e.V. (TEV – Duryńský železniční spolek) získal v roce 1998 od DB AG stroj 242 151. Po opravě byla pronajata švýcarské Centralbahn AG

Haywood County (WLOS) — Cleaning a rockslide on Interstate 40 in Haywood County will require the N.C. Department of Transportation to keep the interstate closed for about a week for the safety of contract workers and those who would be driving in the area, the DOT said Saturday.
I-40 is closed in both directions near the Tennessee state line at Exit 7, Cold Springs Creek Road, due to a rockslide.
Drivers will need to allow extra travel time. The detour route uses I-40, I-240, I-26, and I-81 through Asheville and Johnson City. The distance from Asheville to the I-40/I-81 junction in Tennessee is about 50 miles longer than driving through the Pigeon River Gorge.
Westbound detour: Motorists should take I-240 West to Exit 4-A to I-26 West. Follow I-26 West to I-81 South. Then follow I-81 South to reaccess I-40.
Eastbound detour: Motorists should take Exit 421 to I-81 North. Follow I-81 North to Exit 57A (I-26 East). On I-26 East, follow signs for I-240 East to reaccess I-40.
A slide Friday night, Feb. 22, at Mile Marker 7.5 closed I-40 at the state line for westbound traffic, and at Exit 20 for eastbound traffic on. Debris is still falling Saturday as geotechnical experts surveyed the mountainside.
Engineers determined that work is required to stabilize the 500-foot wide area near Hurricane Creek.
In order to safely execute that contract, traffic will be limited to one lane in each direction — on the eastbound side of a concrete median — for an additional four to six weeks.
Preliminary plans include removing approximately 27,000 cubic yards of dirt, rock and other debris, followed by the installation of preventative measures such as a netting or catchment fence. GeoTechnical experts will help develop the detailed plans.

Q&A with Maddy Morrissey, assistant coach of Elon's women's lacrosse team
From the Field, Women's
We sat down with Maddy Morrissey, former Duke women's lacrosse player to ask about recruiting, playing for Duke and life off the lacrosse field. A native of Skaneateles, New York, she finished her career at Duke ranked 21st all-time at Duke in goals (76) and tied for 22nd in assists (24).
How and when did you first start playing lacrosse?
I started in 5th grade. My uncle played at Syracuse and a lot of my friends were playing. So I became the high school varsity team's ball girl/manager. It was a blast and I became hooked on lacrosse. My dog also helped, she made it easy for me to practice without having to chase balls.
Did you play other sports besides lacrosse? If so, how did you choose lacrosse over the others?
I played soccer and ice hockey. Soccer was a fall sport and ice hockey was just so time consuming. Lacrosse was easy and fun for me to practice and I was just more "obsessed" with the game.
What athletes, lacrosse players or other sports, did you look up to when growing up?
I looked up to the high school girls, specifically Carolyn Davis who went to Duke. I also looked up to the Syracuse girls' team because they were so close by.
What was the college recruitment process like for you and how did you end up choosing Duke?
It was really fun. I always thought I would go to Cornell. A lot of my friends went there and I loved the school. Then Gary Gait became interested in me and his program was growing so fast; it was very tempting to hop on board. But when I went to a winter camp at Duke I fell in love with the campus and the area. It was like a perfect combo of Cornell's academics and Cuse's lacrosse, with a nice benefit of branching out away from home.
If you could give a piece of advice to a high school athlete going through the recruitment process, what would it be?
Choose the school based on the school, not the lacrosse. Anything can happen when you get to college; you could get injured, your coach could leave or you might not be happy with your playing time. But if you are at a school that you love, it can make a huge difference in your overall happiness.
What was the most difficult thing to adjust to in college: Level of play, academics or lifestyle?
The level of play. I had to get stronger, faster, and quicker. I also had to learn to see the field better and be able to make decisions at a faster pace. Freshman year I got checked more times than I would like to remember, but I learned quickly just how fast my defenders were, and how to read certain situations.
You are one of 22 players in program history to top 100 points in your career at Duke, played in national quarter & semi-final games, been selected to the All-ACC second team, 4 year ACC Academic Honor Roll, three-time All-ACC Academic Team selection. What has been your proudest moment/accomplishment at Duke?
I am most proud of All-ACC Academic Team, not only for myself but our team in general. I think we usually have the most players on the list in the ACC every year. It just shows how well rounded and driven the young women on Duke's team are.
Out of all the games you've played at Duke, what was the game you would love to relive?
Either beating Maryland my sophomore year, or beating Notre Dame my senior year because I had so much fun playing in those games. Beating UNC was always the best celebration as a team and I would relive that any day.
Did you have any pregame rituals or traditions? Favorite pregame meal?
I always played wall ball before a game just to make sure my stick was legal and the way I wanted it before warm ups. Favorite pregame meal would be anything with peanut butter.
Who was your favorite teammate to play with at Duke? In your entire career?
Jeeeeez that's a hard one!!!! Being a middy ,I got to play with so many people from all positions. I think Kerrin Maurer made me a better player. She demands greatness from her teammates and is a great competitor. Not only is she one of my best friends, she is also my harshest critic (which was totally cool with me).
You've graduated from Duke, and now you're an Assistant Coach for the Elon Women's lacrosse team. How did you get that position, and did you ever see yourself as a coach?
I knew Josh [Josh Hexer, head coach] and he knew that I would be in the area. He got to hire an experienced assistant coach in Brittney Dipper, while also getting me as a Volunteer assistant. Which was nice for me to gain the experience! I love the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into making a team work. The people that keep everything flowing smoothly and keep the team happy are the ones I admire the most.
What aspects of your playing career have helped you most now in your coaching position?
Just hustling and speed. I think I help the girls compete harder and want to win. I have a strong passion for lacrosse and I hope it rubs off on the girls.
What's your favorite thing about coaching?
The relationship with the girls. I love being there for them, and they feel comfortable coming to me with questions about lacrosse and life.
As a coach, what tips would you give the girls lacrosse player or any athlete out there looking to play in college?
Work hard to make both of your hands equal in skill. You can be a more dynamic on the field if you can use your left and right hands without thinking.
Do you have a favorite drill?
1v1 drills to goal
You recently took over the @lacrossedotcom Instagram account on a Elon Phoenix game day, how did the game go?
We won! It was a fun game and the girls did great.
Who are you personally following on Instagram?
I follow @lacrossedotcom, @aloyoga, @beachyogagirl, @kinoyoga, @instafitfoods, @thedogist and @theellenshow.
What is your absolute favorite thing about the sport of lacrosse?
How fast the ball can move up the field and end in a goal! I love catching the ball on the run in a fast man up situation and making a great pass to a teammate who scores.
Are the Duke-UNC Women's Lacrosse games as contentious, exciting & nerve-wracking as the basketball rivalry?
I wouldn't say they are as hyped up as the bball games, but to us, the games always bring about a feeling of excitement and nerves for sure. It is always a close game and both teams always play with a lot of heart.
What has been your favorite memory from your days playing in the Tobacco Road rivalry?
Driving back on the bus after winning last year and having an all out dance party (coaches included). They took our phones away so we couldn't take pictures/videos of them showing off their dance moves! But it is a memory I will never forget with or without physical proof (Coach Kimel has some moves up her sleeve).
Maddy and former Tar Heel women's lacrosse player, Beth Ellis, will be taking over our Instagram account on Friday during the Duke-UNC women's game. Follow LACROSSE.COM on Instagram (@lacrossedotcom) and Twitter (@lacrossedotcom) so you don't miss any of the rivalry action!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially landed in Fiji!
For day eight of their royal tour on Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the country's capital of Suva. While there, they are expected to embark on a three-day program that will teach them more about Fiji's culture and hospitality.
Meghan, who is currently pregnant with her first child, stepped out in a chic white sleeved Zimmermann gown with matching Stephen Jones cap, and was presented with a beautiful floral arrangement, while she and her husband were greeted by a Guard of Honour at the airport.
Prince Harry looked dapper as usual, clad in a grey suit and black tie and service medals.
Shortly after landing at the airport, Meghan and Harry went straight to Albert Park for an official welcome ceremony. Known as the Veirqaraqaravi Vakavanua, the ceremony features everything from dance performances to the presentation of the Tabua, a massive whale tooth presented to distinguished guests of Fiji. Thousands braved the rainy weather to offer the royal couple a warm welcome.
Later on Tuesday, the parents-to-be will attend a reception and state dinner at the Grand Pacific Hotel, hosted by Jioji Konrote, the president of Fiji. Additionally, Prince Harry is expected to give a speech.
Hear more on Meghan and Harry's adventures abroad -- including all their cute kid moments in Australia! -- in the video below.

Queen's Sailing Team - November Sailor of the Month
While Leg 2 of the Volvo Ocean Race continues to provide sailing enthusiasts with endless hours of distractions at work, at home and the wee hours of the night (have you checked your boat?), there are other exciting sailing performances worth taking note of for the month of November.
CST Alumni Matt Johnston & Brian Cramer took on the Schoonmaker Cup, one of four events within the 2014-2015 Miami Star Winter Series placing 2nd on boat "Remarc". Other renowned Canadians in the mix include David Caesar in 3rd place, and Stuart Hebb & Mike Wolfs, placing 7th overall. The winter series carries on this month through to the Star midwinters in January with the best of 3 regattas scored to determine the overall series winner.
Peter Hall, looking to defend his Soling world championship title alongside teammates William Hall and Johan Offermans, battled fiercely against BRA 86 (Hartmann/Quevedo/Renard) & ARG 34 (Busch/Zimmermann/Feldtmann) with the final crowning on the last beat of the final race. With only 400 meters to spare, Peter Hall and crew claim their third world championship title, proving that a third time is still a charm.
The Queens Keelboat Sailing Team took a break from their studies to challenge for the Kennedy Cup in Annapolis, Maryland. The invitational regatta brought the best collegiate teams from across the states together for the first time this season. The Golden Gaels, coached by 2013 Sail Canada Coach of the Year Rob Frost, were the only Canadian team represented with the exception of Canadian PRO Paul Clissold leading the race organization for this event. The 3-day event cumulated in a 3-way tie for 2nd place among CAL, U.S Navy & Queen's. The Gaels swiftly pulled out a race win to close out their event and capture the silver medal while Charleston clinched the Cup. Earlier that month, the team also travelled to RNSYS to compete against Canada's best universities at the Student Yachting World Cup qualifier. Queens placed 3rd behind the talented SMU and the venerable Dalhousie.
The Queens fleet racing team also maintains an impressive resume of performances this year including the CICSA fleet racing national title, & the CICSA Team Racing National title for the 4th consecutive year in a row. The Queen's University Varsity Sailing Club have 54 members currently training and competing under the tri-colour banner including current CST Laser sailor Greg Clunies. A significant number of CST alumni derive from this historic sailing club including Olympians Terry McLaughlin, Oskar Johansson, John Curtis, Bernard Luttmer, Gordon Cook, Ben Remocker, Greg Douglas, and Danielle Dube.
Sail Canada applauds the outstanding performances by all the Canadian Intercollegiate Sailing Teams this year and honour the Queen's University Sailing Team with Sailor of the Month for November! Now get back to the books!
Sail Canada's Sailor of the Month award acknowledges sailing achievements by Canadians involved or associated with the sport in all its forms. Sail Canada encourages the submission of noteworthy Canadian sailing activities to sailorofthemonth@sailing.ca.

Lili Reinhart reveals she's back in therapy for her anxiety and depression
Reminding fans that it's nothing to be ashamed of. - by Bianca M
Lili Reinhart has always been vocal about her mental health, and how important it is to stay on top of it.
Now, she's opening up again about going back to therapy.
lilireinhart View Profile
Happy Sunday: the day of taking a nap right after breakfast.
Posting an Instagram story, it read: "Friendly reminder for anyone who needs to hear it: Therapy is never something to feel ashamed of. Everyone can benefit from seeing a therapist. Doesn't matter how old or 'proud' you're trying to be."
She went on to say, "We are all human. And we all struggle. Don't suffer in silence. Don't feel embarrassed to ask for help. I'm 22. I have anxiety and depression. And today I started therapy again. And so the journey of self-love begins for me."
It was in May 2017 that Lili decided to break her silence on the importance of mental health.
She sent out a series of Tweets that said:
"Riverdale came into my life when I was going through the worst depression I had ever experienced. And in the end it completely saved me. Since it's mental health awareness month, I figured it would be good to share that. I worked my ass off to make a living out of what I love.
"And when I'm feeling depressed or sad, I remind myself how far I've come. And how I didn't let my depression consume me... To anyone out there who feels depressed or hopeless... do not f--king give up on yourself.
"You're all you've got. And you deserve the world. Your mental health should be your priority. Don't forget that. This is your life.. and you've only got one. So don't waste it by being sad."
Can't see a damn thing ☀
Fans were actually upset by Lili's choice of words at the time, claiming she was saying that depression was a choice.
Lili then responded to the backlash with more tweets:
"Apparently everything I say is going to be taken the wrong way from this point on in my life. Which is disheartening that people want to make me a villain. So no... I in no way meant that depressed people should just 'stop being sad.'
"I've dealt with depression my whole f--king life so obviously I know that. I'm saying find yourself some help. And don't wait for things to change. You have to go out and get that for yourself. You have to find your own happiness and be willing to get better."
We're just happy to hear her doing better!

Apart from her important roles of advocacy, Fiza continues to wear multiple hats to instigate action through her diverse consultancy engagements with government bodies, private sector companies, the UN agencies and other development institutions in Pakistan and internationally.
Fiza, you have a great experience in the energy industry, why did you decide to work in the field of sustainability?
The decision to work in the field of sustainability came naturally owing to my desire to work on demand driven development solutions. To be able to identify the "real problems" communities in Pakistan are facing and provide them with solutions accordingly. When we assess developmental needs of the underprivileged, we underestimate the impact that access to energy or no access thereof has on the lives of the deserving. When communities live in the dark, all socio-economic indicators are adversely affected be it health, education, livelihood generation, safety or mobility. In South Asia alone, four deaths per minute occur owing to the burning of fossil fuels and kerosene oil in the off-grid communities, 80 percent of these victims are women and children. In Pakistan, alone 43 percent of the population of 122 million people live in completely off-grid areas. Simply with these two statistics, the decision to work in the field of sustainability or sustainable energy becomes an obvious development choice.
Which challenges did you believe social enterprises have in Pakistan?
In Pakistan, like in any other part of the world, the main challenge any social enterprise faces is the complicated balance between the social mission and commercial viability. The nexus between the two makes a successful social enterprise especially in the business of sustainability. For me, a sustainable business model for a social enterprise is one that delivers value along with social and commercial benefits to all stakeholders involved from investors to employees, to communities, to clients and eventually to the country. This complicated nexus is certainly unique but not impossible and requires out of the box thinking and an innovative drive. The flagship project "Lightening a Million Lives" that I launched in my previous professional capacity was an absolute embodiment of the same; a simple project that creates a unique nexus between access to energy and women economic empowerment yet directly impacts health, education, economic livelihoods, social gains for the community in addition to branding and social positioning for the sponsors.
Which impact does climate change have on Pakistan?
Unlike many of the developed countries like US and China, Pakistan has a very low impact on the global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), less than 1 percent which is scored to be one of the lowest in the world. However, it still remains a country vulnerable to climate change and the effects have become more visible in recent years. In addition, I feel at this point Pakistan does not have the technical and financial capacity to cope up and adapt with the adverse effects of climate change, hence for us a more important focus point would be mitigation and shifting the focus on renewable generation. While Pakistan is a country with a significant energy deficit, it is also a country abundant with natural resources that can help create a sustainable renewable eco-system for energy. The solution to the climate change problem for Pakistan is more within the acceptance and widespread application of renewable technologies under regulated and subsidised frameworks to make it a sustainable reality for the country.
As one of the Pakistan's youngest female CEOs which difficulties and opportunities did you have as a social entrepreneur?
Well, I would not say it was always easy being a young female CEO in Pakistan, a country dominated by male leadership with less than 2 percent representation of women in senior positions, management and boards. Furthermore, in my previous professional capacities as CEO Buksh Foundation and Director Buksh Energy Private Limited, I was one of the youngest and only female working in the highly male dominated energy sector of the country. I must say, it was quite overwhelming first especially when I would usually be the only woman in a room of 500 men at conferences or always the only woman on the decision making table. However, when I went with Danida on a delegation to Denmark, represented by both Pakistani and Danish energy companies, and found myself to be the only woman amongst 20 companies from both sides participating in the delegation; I realised that this gender bias is a global issue and not just limited to Pakistan. With the same, I feel over the years I learned to keep my age and gender aside and instead focus on my professional abilities and competence emerging as a strong professional within my fields of work.
With the same, post my tenure at both companies, I ended up being the youngest member of the UN Secretary General's High Level Panel on Women Economic Empowerment along with global development leadership including President of World Bank, Managing Director IMF & ILO, UN Secretary General, UN Women Executive Director amongst others. Today, I feel that what ought to be my weakness i.e. my age or my gender have actually now transformed into my greatest strengths and give me the courage and energy to do so much more with the multiple hats I wear as a Global Advisor working with sub-national and national governments, private sector and the global development sector at large.
What potential does renewable energy have for Pakistan and how are you contributing to the same?
Simply establishing the fact that only the solar potential of the country stands at 2.9 million MW while the national deficit stands at 7000 MW can state the potential of renewable energy in Pakistan like many other countries around the world. The potential is enormous and all kinds of models, technologies, stakeholders, institutions need to come together to make renewable energy not just a one-time success but a lasting reality. We need to learn from Europe, whereby Denmark and many other countries are on the road to self-sufficiency with renewable energy along with evolving to exporting the excess energy to neighboring countries. The good news for Pakistan is that however the momentum for renewable energy has finally picked up especially with solar energy whereby the entire eco-system is now working towards scale. One of the hats I wear as a Global RE advisor is to one of Pakistan's largest solar energy company, Reon Energy Private Limited who are actively undertaking MW's of solar transformation in the industrial and commercial sector facilitated by "green financing" schemes offered by State Bank of Pakistan to provide a financial cushion covering the initial cost of such large-scale solar projects.
In addition, millions of dollars are being invested in the off-grid space to launch sustainable models of access to energy in partnership with the private sector in order to build on the momentum and achieve national scale through commercially viable models for the off-grid or semi-off grid communities in Pakistan.
There is a lot more that needs to be done however I do feel that Pakistan has evolved tremendously over the last few years in the uptake of renewable energy and the development of a regulated eco-system that can absorb the uptake and incentivize the private sector to engage effectively in sustainable energy models by targeting the triple bottom line.
We are happy to continue this disscusion with Fiza Farhan in the Executive Panel Discussion "Energy Solutions & The Future of Mobility in a Smart and Connected World – Can Innovation Reverse the Effects of Climate Change?" at the Global Female Leaders 2018.

Q: Linked SQL table in Access 2003 (!) not updatable I'm working in a legacy app for the moment, upgrading Access 2003 to link to SQL Server tables (2008 R2 or later).  With tables linked by code, I can insert, but not update or delete.  I've tried everything on the web, no dice.  Details below.
Being terse so not tl;dr.
Tables first created using upsizing wizard.  In use, app has to connect to different ones in same schema, so can't just set and forget.  Can't do local DSN's, many installs, though DSN file is possible.  But problems there too, DSN not found.  Details later.
Before the rest:  Soon I'm further updating this app to Access 2016 or so.  If this is different enough / easier there, I'll wait a few days.  Maybe someone could suggest the best refsite for that.
* problem details follow *
Using a DSN and the UI to link a table, I get an editable table.  Hurray.
But when I use the code below (found on every refsite), link is made but only selecting and inserting work.  Everything else fails fails fails, no matter what.
Public Function LinkToSqlTable(sqlInstance As String, sqlDb As String,
    sqlTableName As String, localTableName As String)

Dim linked As New TableDef

' ***factored-out functionality, known to work: reader can ignore*** '
DeleteTable localTableName

' connection-string steps, placeholders replaced by args '
Dim sCnx As String
sCnx = "ODBC;Driver=SQL Server;Server=_instance_;" & _
    "Database=_db_;Integrated Security=SSPI"
sCnx = Replace(sCnx, "_instance_", sqlInstance)
sCnx = Replace(sCnx, "_db_", sqlDb)

' linked-table steps '
Set linked = CurrentDb.CreateTableDef(localTableName)
linked.Connect = sCnx
linked.SourceTableName = sqlTableName
CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append linked

' ui '
RefreshDatabaseWindow

End Function

* ID column or permissions? *
I thought the problem was lack of identity column originally,  I added one, but no change.  At least now I have a PK field like I should.  ;-)
When I manually link table, UI demands to know the ID column.  So could it still be it?  Fine, but how do I set that in code?  Searches revealed nothing.
I assume then it's permissions as sites etc. say.  I also took all the steps I could think of to fix that.  No dice.
* things I've tried *
Aside from the ID-column stuff I said before, these things (not in order):

*

*Since DSN saved as a file, tried using it as exampled, in cnx string.  Fail.

*Used DSN contents, carefully winnowed & translated, in cnx string.  Fail.

*Used connection string from the table that I had connected manually with DSN.  Fail.

*Changed driver in cnx string across all major options, even omitted it.  Fail.

*Changed security in cnx to Integrated Security=SSPI and other options, and omitted entirely.  Fail.

*I added my actual local user as exampled, with and without password.  Fail.

(Previous few options tried across earlier options, though not 100% coverage.)

*

*In SQL Server, using SSMS, I tried security power:

*

*Added SQS-authentication login to the instance

*Matching user to the default db seen here

*Gave that login-user read and write permissions in db here (plus others, sometimes)

*Added matching id & pw to the cnx string.  Fail.

*I tried setting up this db in SQS to have let-everyone-do-everything "security" temporarily.  Fail.

*This, that, and the other thing.  Everything fail!!
So a permissions issue?  Some way to use DSN file after all?  Mismatched permission settings in my cnx string?  Boneheaded oversight?  Something else that I've missed?  I'm pretty good at both SQL Server and Access, but only at a basic level in their security stuff and connection strings are the devil.
* retrieved table properties *
Just in case they help, I retrieved these (after objects added to TableDefs collection).
** This one, done in UI and with DSN and this-is-ID-field, worked with editing: **
Name = dbo_tblSendTo
Updatable = False
DateCreated = 4/19/2016 11:11:40 AM
LastUpdated = 4/19/2016 11:11:42 AM
Connect = ODBC;Description=SQL Server tables for TeleSales 5;DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 10.0;SERVER=(local)\sqlexpress;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Office 2003;WSID=CMSERVER;DATABASE=TS5_General;
Attributes = 536870912
SourceTableName = dbo.tblSendTo
RecordCount = -1
ValidationRule =
ValidationText =
ConflictTable =
ReplicaFilter =

** And this one, from table linked via code, didn't: **
Name = tblSendTo
Updatable = False
DateCreated = 4/19/2016 11:17:51 AM
LastUpdated = 4/19/2016 11:17:51 AM
Connect = ODBC;Description=SQL Server tables for TeleSales 5;DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client
    > 10.0;SERVER=(local)\sqlexpress;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Microsoft Office 2003;WSID=CMSERVER;DATABASE=TS5_General;
Attributes = 536870912
SourceTableName = dbo.tblSendTo
RecordCount = -1
ValidationRule =
ValidationText =
ConflictTable =
ReplicaFilter =

* my plea *
So.....   Please someone help me out.  I don't like feeling stupid like this, and regrettably I need to do this instead of replacing it with .NET code or similar.
Thanks, anyone who can...
Ed.

A: Alas, I am able to answer my own question.
edited a little since first posted in reply to HansUp's comments
I had added an identity column to the table that I couldn't edit.  However, I had not set it up as a primary key.  It turns out that using identity doesn't make something a primary key automatically.
But the latter, making it primary key using either of the 2 possible DDL syntaxes, is crucial.  Since I thought I had dealt with the no edits without unique key problem, I focused on permissions.
All of the permissions things here, then, are just a sideshow.
The upshot of this is to be sure to add an identity column and make it a primary key if for some reason your original table schema didn't have that.
If I have the time, I will be trimming the question to reflect what I've discovered.

Binge and Repeat: Dodging death with Russian Doll
TinaMarie Craven
Published 10:07 am EST, Monday, February 18, 2019
Natasha Lyonne stars in "Russian Doll," the Netflix series she co-created, revolving around her character being caught in a time-loop on her birthday.
Lyonne plays Nadia, a woman who doesn't particularly care about herself at all, while also being an incredibly selfish person. That is, until she dies. After every death Nadia comes back and finds herself in the bathroom of her friend's apartment at the birthday party being held in her honor. And it seems that no matter what Nadia does she can't avoid dying. She gets hit by a car, falls down the stairs, falls into open grates and just keeps finding her way back to the ominous bathroom.
As she begins to question her sanity she tries to prevent her death in different ways and goes on a quest to see if she's having a bad drug reaction, if she's haunted or if her mother's mental issues have finally manifested in her own mind.
That is, until Nadia encounters Alan. From there the story gains more traction and moves away from a dark humored "Groundhog Day" to a deliberately deeper storyline, but we won't give away too much.
Lyonne (who also stars in Netflix's "Orange Is The New Black") dives headfirst into her character's emotional trauma, providing a softer performance while maintaining Nadia's sardonic humor. Charlie Barnett's turn as the rigid Alan is anything but stiff, pouring humanity into what could have been an otherwise bland character.
"Russian Doll" has eight half-hour episodes available on Netflix. Fans might also enjoy the spookier series about the Crane family surviving their ghosts in Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House." Those looking for a thriller without the horror should press play on Amazon's "Homecoming," which follows a woman trying to figure out what happened to her when she was working at a facility for veterans.

The containment of pollution by physical defenses is the first step in restoring the ocean to its natural state. The first two chapters of Oil Spill Studies: Healing the Ocean, Biomarking and the Law describes the feedback on seven experiments made on the East Atlantic Ocean. The first chapter concerns semi-open sites while the second focuses on open environment directly linked to the ocean. The third chapter examines pollution from a French harbor marina and its effects on the local biodiversity. The book provides a methodology to quantify biological contamination coming from heavy metal releases into the environment. Chapter four provides the state-of-the-art in the science of a mid-depth-living fish species affected by the treatment of oil pollution by chemical dispersion. In a similar way, the fifth chapter addresses new explored and exploited ocean with extreme environments such as the Arctic and deep sea. The sixth and final chapter provides a lawyer's analysis on the subject.

Officials of the AYA Group have yesterday announced that the hotel, due for completion by October 2007 when the Commonwealth Summit was held in Kampala, would now finally open its doors in March 2013.
Full mouthed statements, often bordering the grotesque if not outright incompetent, had at the time of breaking ground, and over the years, purported to finish a floor a week, before it became obvious for Kampalas hospitality industry observers that the developers lacked the capacity to do anything of the sort. Subsequent opening announcements needless to say also came and went, made worse when wrangles with lawyers and issues with other AYA Group companies appeared in the local media.
At one stage the hotel was reportedly put up for sale, at which stage according to some sources government let it be known that this was NOT to happen, as the land was given to the Hamid brothers for literally free, which would have earned them a hefty windfall but left government once again trailing in the wake of hot air.
Subsequently the interested parties pulled away from the deal leaving work at the hotel to meander along at snails pace.
Although a delegation from Hilton was reportedly in Uganda a few months ago, staying at Kampalas best, the Kampala Serena Hotel and getting a taste of what superior hospitality quality can be like in Uganda, no confirmation could be received from Hilton if indeed they are still interested to manage the property or if perhaps another global hotel group may enter the market, which since the discovery of oil in the Albertine Graben has suddenly regained sharp momentum.
New entries in the wider region were Hyatt, taking over the management of a top hotel from Kempinksi, which is now set to open a property in Nairobi, Marriott, due to open a brand new hotel and conference centre in the heart of Kigali while other global groups have reportedly been sniffing around in Nairobi and other regional capitals with the aim to assess market potential.
Hilton is represented in the region in Nairobi and Addis Ababa, but has sold their Taita Hills and Salt Lick Lodges some time ago to Pollmans Tours of Kenya these two lodges are now managed by Sarova Hotels and may therefore indeed wish to get a wider footprint with a presence in Kampala. There, the building of the proposed InterContinental Hotel at the site of what was supposed to become hotel under the Gulf based Kingdom Hotels, is progressing well though no official opening date has yet been set, wisely one should say considering the minefield of public spats and arguments the Aya Group went through when their repeatedly given new dates were all missed by extremely wide margins. Time will therefore be the only one to tell if the latest date of March 2013 will indeed hold water and the hotel finally be completed, or if another twist in the tail of this long standing comedy is yet in store for us all.
Watch this space for regular updates from East Africas hospitality sector.
I am hotelier by professional who is looking forward to see the opening of hilton hotel in kampala and my wish is to be employed by this hotel.

Body found in car trunk in Graham identified as missing woman - Conferenciaanpei
Body found in car trunk in Graham identified as missing woman
The body found in the trunk of a car at a Graham auto yard in
The body found in the trunk of a car at a Graham auto yard in December has been identified as a woman who was reported missing one week earlier.
GRAHAM, Wash. — The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the body found in the trunk of a car in Graham in December as a woman who was reported missing one week earlier.
The medical examiner has identified the woman as 41-year-old Patricia "Tricia" Soto who was reportedly last seen on Nov. 7 in Burien. Soto was reported missing by the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office on Dec. 16.
Pierce County deputies found Soto deceased in a car at an auto yard on Dec. 21 while assisting with another investigation. They were looking into a vehicle when they found Soto's body. The auto yard sells parts for cars and stores a number of vehicles, according to Pierce County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Darren Moss.
Soto's manner of death is still pending, according to the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office.
The King County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death as a homicide.
King County Sheriff's Sergeant Tim Meyer said the investigation is looking into Soto's ties around Des Moines, Burien and south King County and the events that lead to her being found in Pierce County.
"We also have time from that initial missing persons report until the unfortunate discovery of her remains," said Meyer. "Time and distance complicate a case."

Submit your technical question, providing as much detail as possible. Your question will be answered by Brian Cullingford, but please be patient for a few days or even a week (depends on Brian's workload). Re your question, please do not phone him.
Q - I have 2 SU carbs on my upgraded engine, and the choke cable only to one carb. If I don't start the car for 2 weeks, it takes about 60 seconds to fire on only one cylinder. Then it catches on a second cylinder. Finally, all 6 are firing. The engine shakes violently while it is firing on less than 6. This is not good. Should I disconnect spark plugs and crank it for 60 seconds or so?
A - There should be a linkage connecting the two choke levers, so that one cable will pull the choke on for both carburettors on the S.U.'s (different from the Strombergs). If it's not fitted, installing one should get both chokes operational simultaneously. If there is one, it's possible that the linkage needs to be adjusted to properly synchronize the chokes. I'd suggest starting there - once the chokes are operating properly it should start relatively smoothly, although they'll always have a somewhat extended cranking time after being parked for any length of time.
cylinders, more obvious when trying to start from cold.
(This all assumes that the ignition system is in proper working order, of course).
Q - The headlights on main beam are fine. On dip beam, they only illuminate the road just in front of the car. Is there an adjustment to raise the dip beam to a more practical level?
If they are HID lamps, the car will be fitted with an automatic levelling mechanism. If this is the case, and they are not levelling, it can be a broken link on the lamp motors or an electrical fault in the wiring/module, etc.
If they are the standard Halogen lamps, there is a manual adjustment. Frequently the adjusters get broken - they are a bit of a weak point - causing the lamps to droop. There are some aftermarket kits available to repair them if this is the case - I believe it is still part of the headlamp assembly if purchased from Jaguar.
Also, make sure the bulbs have been fitted properly - I've seen them not fitted properly into the sockets which will cause poor illumination.

NC central working committee meet begins to review poll results
Kathmandu, Mar. 23: A central working committee (CWC) meeting of the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) kicked off at the party central office Sanepa to review the post-elections scenario.
The meeting began at 12:00 noon today will make a thorough review of the 'unexpected' results the party got in the elections to the House of Representatives and State Assemblies held in two phases late last year.
The meeting chaired by Party President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba is attended by senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel, General Secretary Dr Shashanka Koirala and other officials and central members.
The previous CWC meeting convened on January 18 and 19 held general discussions on the issue while the today's meeting will go through the issue in detail, as stated by party spokesperson Bishwa Prakash Sharma.
Though this is the first CWC meeting of the party after the twin elections held on November 26 and December 7 last year, in-depth discussions on the poll results were still awaited. Those meeting focused on taking official decisions regarding the election of National Assembly, elections of the President and Vice President and on discussions about party's parliamentary statute.
He said this meeting which will last for three to four days in connection with holding extensive discussions shall also fix the date and place for the party's general body meeting.
Some youth leaders in the party who have formed panels have been blaming the party leadership's working style for the drubbing the party faced in the elections.
Central committee members supporting party senior leader Ram Chandra Poudel and those supporting party president Sher Bahadur Deuba are said to be preparing for a showdown in the meeting, trading charges at each other in the meeting, the former blaming the party president's 'wrong' working style for the party's loss in the elections and the latter on the defensive.
The Nepali Congress, which is the country's largest and oldest party, could win only 63 seats, including 23 seats towards the first-past-the-post system and 41 seats in the proportional representation system, in the elections to the 275-member House of Representatives.
The Nepali Congress has to be content as the main opposition party in the federal and the provincial parliaments after the drubbing in the elections. The party's this meeting has been taken as important in setting the party's future course of action in such context. RSS

Contra 4: Rocked n' Loaded Roundtable #2: Probotect & Rock
December 19, 2009 | Audun Sorlie | 1 Comment Share this Contra 4: Rocked n' Loaded Roundtable #2: Probotect & Rock
A few weeks ago we had the first part of our discussion with the Contra 4: Rocked 'n' Loaded team about the development and production of these kinds of arrangement albums. It's easy to take arrangements and remixes for granted, thinking it's simply a deal of finding a MIDI or listening by ear and replicating it, but in reality, the process is quite a massive undertaking.
In this part, we ventured into the topic of the music production itself, as we last time went into the topic of planning, signing artists and working together. Now get ready to really understand how long it takes to transcribe, learn and record these incredibly detailed melodies, and dealing with being a musical perfectionist.
Come Get Some!
OSV: Alright so let's move onto the actual production and stuff. First though, let me ask you, In terms of sound and direction, did any other arrangement album influence you, either official or fan produced?
Snappleman: Well, the arrange album that influences everything I do since I first heard it has been F-Zero X Guitar Arrange Edition. Also, I really like the style of IOSYS, S.S.H. and the Black Mages.
Prince of Darkness (PoD): Not directly in the case of this project. Of course, Project Chaos is a huge influence on my remixing in general, but it doesn't have direct influence on what I do. Then again, I collaborate with a couple Project Chaos contributors, so maybe? Moreso, what I do and have done influences me more than anything. It's always a constant learning process and every time I make a song I'll find what works and what doesn't work and add that to my "library" of composing tricks.
OSV: What are the usual tools of the trade for arranging and recording music? And what did you use on Rocked 'n' Loaded (RnL)?
Snappleman: Well, there are basically three things we all use to create music, Starting with a computer! Without a good computer to work on you really can't do much these days in terms of full production. Then you need a DAW (digital audio workstation), which is software that behaves like a recording studio, and allows you to record audio and MIDI tracks and manipulate the sound. The third is some type of instrument to record and perform on. On RnL I used Steinberg Cubase as my DAW, and I recorded my guitars, bass and keyboards.
PoD: What he said. My first few remixes (including the first draft of "Metropolis Massacre" [track 7 on RnL]) were done on my crappy Dell desktop from 2003, with a 2.0 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. I had to arrange outside Cubase and then do everything in steps once I put it together in Cubase. Essentially, I could really only process one instrument at a time from my sample libraries because that's all the computer could handle.
OSV: So once you have everything ready, how do you go about starting an arrangement?
Snappleman: First thing I do is import the song as an audio file. This lets me listen to it as I play and record scratch tracks which help me learn the song and arrange it in my head. I then start recording the parts of the song that I can hear on keyboards, starting with the melody, then bass, and so on. Eventually I have a re-creation of the song, except the tracks are all seperate, so I can listen to any specific of the song I want, and get ideas on expanding it. In the case of Contra 4, it helped knowing Jake Kaufman because I could go to him and ask him about parts that were very hard to hear. As it turns out, the Contra 4 music is incredibly complex and layered!
PoD: I have somewhat of a strange approach. When it comes to metal, a lot of times I will arrange into Guitar Pro. I'm a pretty fast sightreader and the majority of music you've heard me play is me reading off riffs in Guitar Pro while recording. Both "Metropolis Massacre" and "BRICKWALLER" (track 4 off RnL) were arranged into Guitar Pro. Using Guitar Pro also helps me really dial in and organize the right riffs, instead of screwing around trying to improvise riffs into a song. It works for Snappleman, but I can't do it that well. Once all parts are written down I'll do them in Cubase. Normally I'll start with a temporary drum track, because I like doing drums later, so I make sure they fit with the song well, since a bit ends up changed when I record songs. With the drum track, I'll record rhythm guitars, then bass, then keyboards and sequencing, then lead guitars and lead keyboards. Drums will probably come last or at least after the keyboards and sequencing.
OSV: Does this mean you had a hard time arranging the music?
Snappleman: Very much so! The songs are full of things which you can't hear until they're taken out, then you notice a hole. Most of our time was spent learning the music, and getting our hands and minds to memorize the complicated patterns for playing the parts.
PoD: I didn't have too tough of a time arranging my songs, as there's a lot to them and there are so many layers, so there's a lot of stuff to use. Playing them is a different story! Commonly I'll approach an arrangement where I'll have an intro, I play through the full song once, do some solos and other stuff, and then I'm done. It's pretty simple and stupid, but also effective.
OSV: Can you give us an example of a particular song?
Snappleman: Take the song "Jungle Exploder" (track 2 on the album). This song is very good proof that Jake is influenced by Konami music on the NES. He uses a lot of counterpoint and arpeggiating to fill out a song the same way they did it on the NES. Since the NES had very limited sound channels, complex chords were not possible, so programmers developed tricks to fill out the sound. These tricks may sound great, but they're extremely hard to play on an instrument like a guitar! So there was a lot of practice put into learning those parts to record this song.
PoD: The very first Guitar Pro draft of "Metropolis Massacre" was initially about 3 minutes in length. It was very short, didn't have any of the solos and was missing some other sections, and for whatever reason I thought that was fine. Snappleman said I should add more, so I expanded a lot and added the guitar and keyboard solos, which added quite a bit of length. It was all for the better.
OSV: So how long then, does it take to record all the tracks in a song?
Snappleman: I had "Jungle" recorded within a week of starting it. But as with any song I work on, those takes were not final. I have re-recorded "Jungle" many many times since then!
PoD: I can generally blast through rhythm guitars in 4-5 hours, bass in an hour or two, but lead guitars and keyboards will take a bit longer since I am a pretty inconsistent player on both.
OSV: How complicated do these songs get from the recording aspect?
Snappleman: Well, most of these songs have a great big number of tracks. Tracks are like layers, each track contains one part of the song. It could be the snare drum, lead guitar, bass guitar, strings, anything really. On average, my songs on this album contain about 35-60 tracks. Some artists use many many more! But it's not always a complete instrument that's on a track. Some tracks can contain just little pieces of something, or sound effects. It's all a matter of how much control the artist wants over the song. The real trouble is putting all these tracks together!
PoD: They can get insane. I have many tracks in my projects and hundreds of takes on really difficult music like "Bass Fishing's" (track 6 on RnL) basslines. It's either dedication or stupidity that keeps us going. Or both.
OSV: All of these songs are very heavy and they sound very "full" and sometimes a little loud. How do you go about putting together a song from it's parts or tracks?
Snappleman: That's the really hard part. With songs that have these many layers, mixing them is very hard work. A distorted guitar can literally eat up the entire sound spectrum if you let it! Depending on your amp settings and EQ. The trick is to "slot" or shape the sounds to make them all fit together. A drumkit generally features a sound that fits into every part of the spectrum. The kick drum fills out the lows, snare and toms fill out the mids, and the hihats and cymbals fill out the highs. The first thing I do is get a good balance to the drumkit by itself, and then I start to bring in the bass guitar. Once I can hear the both the kick drum and bass guitar without one overpowering the other, I have a good foundation for the rest of the song! Then I start to bring in the distorted rhythm guitars, which are constantly playing loud chords and heavy fast passages which can really eat up the low-mid range. What I try to do here, is figure out where exactly the guitars frequency is not important (this is usually where the bass is most present) and I cut out a bit of EQ there, I do this all over so the guitar fits in as well as it can without covering up other sounds. I repeat this for every other track and then a mix one step closer to being done!
OSV: So EQ editing helps tracks fit together to form a song. What happens when you have two or more instruments which have a similar desired frequency?
Snappleman: There are many methods to deal with this. The main one I use is called compression. With compression you can take a sound and make the quieter parts of the sound louder without changing the overall volume of the sound. This way, you can bring out more of an instruments character and make it sound bigger in the mix. If you bring out just enough character from every sound in your song, and EQ them right, you then have a very solid base of a mix. You can then add effects such as delay and reverb to give it that extra bit of sparkle.
OSV: So Snappleman, you and the other members of the RnL team are all very handsome men. Does that have anything to do with the quality of your music?
PoD: Handsome men for manly music of the manliest game on the manliest remix album ever. What could be better?
Snappleman: For me, it does. I enjoy being a handsome man. But I have a question for you. Does me being so handsome affect your enjoyment of my music?
OSV: Oh very much so. Let me go back to when we first met. It was very special to me, because I had never met someone so tall, tanned and masculine, and I have to admit I was a bit intimidated at first. But you are very gentle and somewhat tender at heart. This was obviously enhanced when we took that trip to Spain together and I got food poisoned on sea food, you took care of me all night. So when I listen to your music, I hear a very rugged man, that knows what a man should sound like, and what a man should do.
Snappleman: I am very happy that you remember that night, Audun. I take pleasure in capturing that feeling of tender, yet firm manliness in every song I record.
