The mark of any school lies in the quality of values it delivers to the rest of the world. These values must always be solid, professional and positive. That is what you were looking for and that is why you have come to the right place.
So what makes a particular B-school stand out from among the crowd? Top-class faculty and contemporary teaching methods are some of the fundamentals that attract top-quality students like you and ensure that when you complete your education, you earn the most rewarding jobs. This, quite simply, is what we offer at IMT Ghaziabad. And that is what sets us apart from the crowd.


If I could run only one race a year, it would be the River to River Relay.
Teams of eight people run 80 miles across the southern tip of the state.
Runners, if you're looking to get into the Provena Illinois 5K run on May 1, you've got another chance.
The 5K race closed, but the Illinois Marathon folks are opening up another 500 spots at 8 a.m. Tuesday. If you want one of those spots, you must register online at www.illinoismarathon.com.
I tried Nordic walking for the first time last night, at Meadowbrook Park.
If you've seen walkers around town using poles, those are Nordic walkers.
Susan Toalson has an adventurous streak.
When she was younger, she tried skydiving, hang gliding and bungee jumping.
Those risky sports were sidelined once she had children.
But when some University of Illinois students asked her to rappel down 17-story Illini Tower this weekend, she said yes.
It takes a community to keep a child healthy.
And a grassroots organization in Champaign-Urbana has community groups working together to promote active living and good nutrition for children.
Have you seen a guy in a stovepipe hat and running shoes recently?
You did if you ran the Lincoln Memorial Half Marathon in Springfield on Saturday. And you can see him again in the Illinois Half Marathon on May 1.
He's Jeff Kohmstedt of Champaign, and he's running dressed as Abraham Lincoln and carrying a State of Illinois flag.
More half-marathon spots available for Illinois Half-Marathon.
If you want to run the Illinois Half-Marathon on May 1 and didn't get registered before the race filled, you still have a chance.
The marathon organizers are opening up 100 more spots in the half-marathon. Runners who want to do the half-marathon can register online only beginning at noon Friday.

Xbox One Costs Microsoft $471 To Make
 Published November 26, 2013 12:08 PM
Both Microsoft and Sony are taking a slight loss on each next gen console at launch.
The combined hardware and manufacturing cost of Microsoft's new Xbox One amounts to $471, suggesting that Microsoft is subsidizing the cost of the video game console at the time of launch. The Xbox One carries a bill of materials (BOM) of $457, according to preliminary results from the Teardown Analysis Service at IHS. Manufacturing is estimated at $14, which means the console's total cost of $471 is only $28 less than the retail price of $499.
This is very similar to the new PlayStation 4 from Sony, which carries a hardware and manufacturing cost of only $18 lower than its retail price, according to the preliminary IHS teardown information released last week. And just like the PlayStation 4, Microsoft initially will take a loss on each Xbox One sold when other expenses are added into the equation.
"For both Microsoft and Sony, their latest-generation video game console hardware is unprofitable at the time of release, requiring the companies to subsidize it initially," said Steve Mather, senior principal analyst for IHS. "However, these companies easily can largely compensate for their losses though sales of highly lucrative game titles. Meanwhile, as the cost to produce the consoles decreases according to the normal learning-curve dynamics in the electronics industry, the companies can cut their retail pricing—or pad their profits. Over time, Microsoft is likely to reduce the retail price of the Xbox One in order to maintain sales momentum."
Microsoft may also be more willing to take a loss on hardware sales with the Xbox One than it has for its previous-generation products.
"The Xbox One is designed to serve as a beachhead in the home for Microsoft, with the console's capability to interact with—and interface to—other devices, such as televisions, set-top boxes, smartphones and tablets," Mather noted. "Gaining such a strategic advantage in the battle to control the connected home and Internet-enabled living room is well worth having the Xbox One act as a loss leader for Microsoft."
AMD takes the lead in gaming
The Xbox One's core architecture is very similar to the PlayStation 4, with most of the functionality of the two systems residing in highly integrated system-on-chip (SOC) devices supplied by Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
"It's interesting that AMD has taken over the core central processing unit (CPU) and graphic processing unit (GPU) in both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4," said Andrew Rassweiler, senior director, IHS teardown service. "This is a very different landscape from the hardware of just a few years ago, when IBM was dominating the core CPU slot in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles."
"Although the AMD chips are unique in the two consoles, they appear very similar in many ways. Both chips are built in 28-nanometer-process geometry, have the same number of CPU cores, and possess similar silicon die surface area between the two, suggesting similar amounts of functionality and processing power. Even the net power requirements for the two consoles are very much alike, which further underscores functional similarity. The two consoles are not clones, but are definitely related."
Kinect: the Xbox One's not-so-secret sauce
The biggest factor increasing the hardware cost of the Xbox One compared to the PlayStation 4 is Microsoft's inclusion of the new-generation Kinect system as a standard feature of its console. The Kinect adds $75 to the Xbox One's BOM and manufacturing cost.
IHS has determined that Microsoft has made significant advancements in the Kinect hardware since the first version of the device examined by the Teardown Analysis Service in 2010.
In the intervening years, Microsoft has added new features, including new optics for the system's two cameras that are larger and more sophisticated than for the previous generation. The more advanced optics should provide better images to the sensor, but are more expensive. The three infrared emitters in the new version of the Kinect also contain some elaborate optics that IHS is still analyzing.
Because of the increased sophistication, the new generation of the Kinect is estimated to be $75, which is more expensive than the older version, which carried a $64 BOM and manufacturing cost.
AMD inside
Like the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One is based on a highly integrated SoC processor from AMD that performs the vast majority of the functions in the console. In each system, the AMD processor is essentially a "console-on-a-chip," combining the CPU and GPU into a single device, as well as integrating other functions.
And just as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are related but aren't clones, the two chips in the two consoles are not exactly alike.
Preliminary modeling from IHS suggests that the AMD chip in the Xbox One should cost about 10 percent more than the device it sells to Sony for the PS4. The AMD process in the Xbox One costs $110, compared to $100 for the PlayStation 4.
One other major cost driver of the Xbox One compared to the PlayStation 4 is the optical drive. Microsoft uses a Blu-ray drive made by Lite-On, compared to what IHS believes to be an in-house, Sony-made device in the PlayStation 4. The Lite-On drive accounts for $32 of the Xbox One BOM.
The power supply on the Xbox One also represents a $25 cost for the Xbox One. Unlike the PlayStation 4 which featured an internal power supply, Microsoft adds bulk and cost by employing an external power supply for the Xbox One.

USCGC Dexter, was a steel-hulled patrol boat of the United States Coast Guard in commission from 1925 to 1936. She was the third ship of the United States Revenue Cutter Service and United States Coast Guard to bear the name.

Dexter was built by the Defoe Boat and Motor Works at Bay City, Michigan. She was commissioned into the Coast Guard in 1925.

Dexter was stationed at Boston, Massachusetts, from 1925 until 1927. She was then transferred to Pascagoula, Mississippi late in 1927. By 1935 she had been transferred to Buffalo, New York.

Dexter was decommissioned in 1936. She was then transferred to the United States Navy.

On June 19, 2010 Dexter (known as  Buccaneer) was sunk in Lake Michigan as an artificial reef.

Dexter is also a ship of some historical significance. During her tenure as a revenue cutter she sank the Canadian rum running sloop I'm Alone in the Gulf of Mexico, in 1929. While I'm Alone had allegedly been sighted within U.S. territorial waters, the actual sinking occurred in international waters, 200 miles out in the Gulf of Mexico. One crew member from the sloop was killed during the sinking, he was a French national. This created quite an international incident involving Canada, Britain and France. The resulting lawsuit was settled in 1936.

After being stricken from the U.S. Coast Guard rolls in 1936, the Dexter was turned over to the U.S. Navy, in Buffalo New York, and renamed YP-63.  She saw action during World War II patrolling in the Caribbean, based out of Trinidad, on the Atlantic Sea Frontier.  She is officially cited in the "Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II".  On June 16, 1942, YP-63 (ex-USCGC Dexter) and the coastal yacht Opal rescued 91 survivors from three successive merchant ships sunk by the German U boats: U-126, U-161 and U-502.

After the war she was acquired by various private interests. She saw service as a recreational fishing vessel off Boston, an oil drilling services vessel off Louisiana and finally ended up in Chicago, as a pirate themed party boat. It is ironic that this vessel, originally created to enforce prohibition, became the MV Buccaneer, dedicated to providing quantities of booze to her willing customers.

For three years Buccaneer was at a marina on the Little Calumet River being prepared for sinking in Lake Michigan as a dive attraction. She was finally sunk in Lake Michigan on June 18, 2010. She now rests as an artificial reef in 74 ft. of water about eight miles off the coast of Chicago.

Exhibition Review – Arctic: culture and climate at the British Museum from 22 Oct 2020 to 21 Feb 2021
October 21, 2020 12:55 pm / Leave a comment

The British Museum presents the first major exhibition on the history of the Arctic and its indigenous peoples, through the lens of climate change and weather. The Arctic has been home to a number of communities for nearly 30,000 years, and the exhibition explores some of the cultures that have lived in one of the most dramatic environments on earth.
With climate change transforming the Arctic at the fastest rate in human history. The exhibition entitled Arctic: culture and climate looks at the circumpolar region through the eyes of contemporary Arctic communities, revealing how Arctic peoples have adapted to climate change in the past and addresses the present crisis.
The exhibition brings together the largest and most diverse circumpolar collection ever displayed in the UK, including objects from the British Museum's Arctic collection and international lenders and commissions, this exhibition reveals artistic expression and ecological knowledge, from the past right up to the present day.
Exhibits include rare 28,000 year old archaeological finds excavated from the thawing ground in Siberia, unique tools and clothing adapted for survival, artworks reflecting the respectful relationship between Arctic people and the natural world and photography of contemporary daily life.
The Arctic Circle is the most northern region in the world which covers 4% of the Earth. It is home to 4 million people including 400,000 indigenous peoples belonging to one or more of 40 different ethnic groups with distinct languages and dialects. Most of the Arctic's indigenous inhabitants rely on hunting, fishing and reindeer herding. These subsistence resources are supplemented by employment in industries such as government infrastructures, energy, commercial fishing and tourism. Arctic peoples have traded and engaged across the Circumpolar North for millennia. From Russia, Greenland, Canada and the USA to the Scandinavian nations, the peoples of the region have thrived within this ever-changing landscape.
The exhibition features objects from across the circumpolar region, including an 8-piece Igloolik winter costume made of caribou (wild reindeer) fur. Animals provides food for the community as well as clothing, all available natural materials are put to use.
Other highlights include a delicate and unique household bag from western Alaska, crafted from tanned salmon skin, a Inughuit (Greenlandic) sled made from narwhal and caribou bone and pieces of driftwood which was traded to Sir John Ross on his 1818 expedition, marking the first encounter between Inughuit and Europeans.
Arctic peoples' responses to the establishment of colonial governments and state-sponsored religions in the Arctic will feature, including a bronze carved Evenki spirit mask that was made from a 17th century Russian Orthodox icon.
Many Arctic peoples are transforming traditional heritage to meet contemporary needs and the exhibition explores ritual practices to commercial artwork inspired by their storytelling and material traditions.
Stunning contemporary photography of the Arctic landscape provides a background to a wide range of of new artworks commissioned for the exhibition. These include a limestone Inuksuk, an iconic Arctic monument of stacked stones used to mark productive harvesting locations or to assist in navigation, built by Piita Irniq, from the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut, Canada.
A new installation from the art collective Embassy of Imagination will present traditional clothing made from Japanese paper and printmaking by Inuit youth in Kinngait (Cape Dorset) and Puvirnitug, Nunavut, Canada.
This fascinating exhibition provides a timely insight into an often neglected part of the world. The stories of the various communities provide evidence of the remarkable abilities of communities to deal with different kinds of change and developing strategies to make best use of change. Whilst climate change is often discussed in an abstract way and from little personal knowledge, we might be better to listen to communities that have survived the disruptive effects of social and environmental change and created thriving cultures.

The British Museum reopens to visitors on Thursday 27 August 2020
August 7, 2020 10:11 am / Leave a comment
The British Museum will reopen to visitors on Thursday 27 August 2020, however there will be a number of measures in place to accommodate visitors safely and securely. The Museum will have been closed for 163 days, the longest peacetime closure in its 261-year history.
Visitors will need to pre-book a free ticket, with reduced numbers to ensure physical distancing and a safe and welcoming environment.
A new one-way route round the Ground Floor galleries will allow visitors access to many thousands of objects from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and Assyria, before exploring Africa, Mexico, North America and the Enlightenment Gallery. More galleries will reopen later in September.
The Museum is taking this phased approach to reopening to be sure they can accommodate visitors safely and securely. They will be keeping safety measures under review and adjust them as they learn how they work in practice and as Government guidance evolves. They plan to
reopen some of the upper floor galleries from Monday 21st September.
New dates are today confirmed for the Museum's postponed spring exhibitions Tantra: enlightenment to revolution and The Citi exhibition Arctic: culture and climate. Tantra will open from 24 September 2020 (closing 24 January 2021) and Arctic on 22 October 2020 (closing 21 February 2021). Both exhibitions will have extended runs to ensure more people can see them whilst following social distancing guidelines.
The display of Edmund de Waal's library of exile in Room 2 will be also open giving visitors a chance to see this thoughtful and reflective work before the books it includes are donated to the world-renowned library of the University of Mosul in Iraq which is being rebuilt after it suffered extensive damage under Daesh.
British Museum Trustee and Turner Prize-winning artist, Grayson Perry, has agreed to lend his work, The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman, originally created for his British Museum exhibition of the same name in 2011. The Tomb is an elaborate, richly decorated cast-iron coffin-ship , a vessel weighted with the freight of Perry's imagination and an eloquent testament to the countless unnamed skilled individuals – men and women – who have made the beautiful wonders of history found in the British Museum today. It will be displayed in Room 17, next to the Nereid Monument from western Turkey, built around 390BC.
Tickets will be available to book online or over the phone from 10am on Wednesday 12th August (www.britishmuseum.org, or 020 7323 8181). The Museum will open 10am – 3pm on the 27th and 28th of August, moving to 10am – 5pm from Saturday 29th August.

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 2, 2007 -- New York City-based www.drshoshany.com chiropractor Dr. Steven Shoshany D.C, C.C.E.P. recently introduced a powerful new tool to his practice with the arrival of the Power Plate®, and its origins are literally out of this world.
Power Plate® is an advanced machine that allows people with various conditions -- including chronic lower back pain, weak muscles, chronic knee pain, and decreased bone density -- to exercise while working within their personal physical limitations using the concept known as Acceleration Training™. According to the Power Plate® Web site, this style of exercise was first used (on the ground) by Soviet cosmonauts in the 1960s to counteract the bone and muscle degeneration caused by zero gravity.
Power Plate® specifically utilizes this sophisticated, space-age training technique -- and the end result means improved treatment of the symptoms for patients who suffer from these challenging conditions.
"This machine not only enhances but speeds up the healing process relating to these different ailments," Shoshany said. The acquisition of this cutting-edge technology continues a trend for the center of being at the forefront of the latest chiropractic technology, which has been endorsed by a wide range of professional athletes and celebrities around the world. He is also Manhattan's only chiropractor to have integrated this technology into practice, he said.
"We are very excited to introduce this powerful new aid to what we do at the center," said Shoshany, founder and owner of The Downing Chiropractic and Pain Management Center in New York City. "This technique has greatly enhanced the already stunning success I am having with DRX 9000 spinal decompression treatments with herniated disc problems and chronic low back pain."
Shoshany, who is also the clinic director of the New York Disc Decompression Center and the founder of the Spinal Decompression Institute, said he agrees with the Power Plate® Web site's assertions that the biomechanical applications of Acceleration Training™ exercise using Power Plate® machines are becoming accepted in the medical field for the prevention and treatment of different types of illnesses and injuries.
"This is an impressive machine, and will help to improve the lives of the patients who choose to use it," Shoshany said.
The Downing Chiropractic and Pain Management Center in New York offers a multi-disciplinary approach to advanced spinal correction with a variety of non-surgical techniques, as well as exercises and lifestyle advice. As the founder and director of Downing Chiropractic, Dr. Shoshany has a diversified educational background with specialized knowledge in Chiropractic, Pediatric Chiropractic, and Sports Injury Management. Shoshany specializes in both spine and sports-related injuries, and he focuses on delivering highly effective chiropractic care to people of all ages. Years of specialized training at Life Chiropractic University has fostered Shoshany's driven focus on individualized non-surgical treatments, and his extensive knowledge of chiropractic medicine allows him to perform a variety of chiropractic treatments.


Aimé Césaire, Martinique's philosopher-poet, said it best: "The relationships between consciousness and reality are very complex… It is equally necessary to decolonize our minds, our inner life, at the same time that we decolonize society." Indeed. That process entails a deeper understanding of the Creole cultures of the Gulf-Caribbean nexus and the greater Global South. The Gulf Caribbean Arts Insider explores and celebrates those diverse cultures on their own terms as part of our liberation from the lingering political, economic and intellectual colonialism of the Euro-American world.
The flag of Belize is the only national flag with a black man on it, accompanied by a figure who may be a native Mayan, a Creole or a mestizo -- or in true Belizean fashion, all of the above. The first non-Mayan inhabitants were Jamaican corsairs and lumbermen, and the implements of their trade appear on the banner.
The late former prime minister and Belizean independence leader, George Price, describes how a once fragmented colony forged a national identity based on unity within diversity. For more on Price, see Godfrey Smith's great biography.
"Covering the Global South/ Gulf Caribbean Arts Nexus."
Gulf Caribbean Arts Insider is a production of the Center for Gulf South History and Culture with support from the New Orleans Art Insider. This site is dedicated to the memory of George Cadle Price, the Father of Belizean Independence who, like Martinique's great poet-philosopher, Edourard Glissant, envisioned the Caribbean as the crucible where important new advances in human relations and enlightenment would be realized.

Being a Lions fan inherently means being negative, so I can see how many are celebrating today as the greatest day in Detroit Lions history. I don't mean to suggest that the firing of Millen is a bad decision. It was long overdue. A reason for extremely spirited is due to the fact that Lions' fans mounted a guerilla campaign against Millen starting on December 4, 2005. The "Fire Millen" chant and movement took off. "Fire Millen" chants would start up at Michigan and Michigan State football games, Piston games, Red Wing games, and even at games outside of Michigan. Sheed got into the "Fire Millen" action one night during a timeout.
When Millen's contract was extended, WDFN declared the Angry Fan March, or Millen Man March, on December 6, 2005. An "orange out" movement was announced for the upcoming home game against the Bengals of the Nasty 'Nati. Calling for fans to wear Bengals' orange and cheer for the Bengals with the hopes of turning Ford Field into a home game for the visiting team. Allegedly, 65% of fans attending wore orange. A few weeks later a walk-out was initiated after the first half of the Bears game. Watching Lion games during this time period was bonkers.
But, fans are celebrating the removal of a negative. The greatest moment in Lions' history should be an instance of glory. Positive, not because of the lack of negative but because of something purely positive. For example, the playoff victory over Dallas in 1992. Mine will always be the 1997 regular season finale against the Jets when Barry ran for 183 yards breaking the 2, 000 yard mark. Scoring a touchdown with just under 2 minutes left, Barry put the Lions ahead 13-10. The Lions clinched a playoff birth with a victory in a rowdy, raucous Silverdome that was penalized for being too loud. Larry Tharpe and Kevin Glover carrying Barry off the field while fans roared. Joyous! It still brings tears to my eyes. It was a time when the fans weren't so bitter that you root against your own team to further embarrass the GM and bring about his firing. Granted the Lions embarrassed themselves in the first round of the playoffs again the following week, but the Lions still entertained. Scott Mitchell even exaggerated or faked a neck injury, sustained during an awkward headfirst slide on an scramble, so he could be carted off the field and out of the stadium.
Fans have to be given credit for sticking with the Lions and for the protests against Millen. The Millen Man March was a moment of hilarity. Stadium security chasing fans with signs poking fun at Millen while the sign gets passed around through the sea of humanity. Just think of what could happen if this type of spirit and energy was channeled against the war-mongering, bilking plunderers that make up our government.
We all know who the true first dude is, was and always will be.
Can't Cut Loose Without that Juice!
Fall is officially upon us as of today. Last night to celebrate the end of summer, some electronic music heads gathered at Golden Gardens Park for some free music provided by a crew of dj's originally from Kansas City. The energy for amps was provided by generators. Occasionally, the sound and lighting systems would ask too much ceasing electronic stimulation for brief moments. Music has the ability to temporarily spirit one away from immediate concerns, for example the impending economic collapse and disgusting bailout of Wall Street. Santa will come to the rescue! Oh wait, in these tough economic times even Santa needed to pick up a second job. Why the CIA, Santa? The private intelligence sector pays better.
Being a blank slate must be nice. Never having to deal with contradictions or thinking in terms greater than black and white, must free the intellect from the depleting labor of thinking. Who needs brain food when you lack a brain? When being intellectually engaged and curious is seen as a bad thing, it can be reasoned that the country is firmly entrenched in a death spiral. Or maybe I am just being an elitist. Tell me what to think big brother, for having given into your tepid, clingy embrace I just know you have my best interests at heart. I looked into big brother's eyes and saw the federali's soul. I read in the bible that not listening to daddy is a sin. Big brother save me from myself. Tell me what to do and when to die. I don't believe in destiny, I believe in bureaucracy!


A Redbridge mosque is hosting an exhibition honouring Albanian Muslims who rescued Jews during the Holocaust which had been set to take place in Barnet – but was cancelled amid criticism.
The "Love Your Neighbour Exhibition" is set to open at an as-yet-undisclosed location in the borough on January 20.
The exhibition is backed by Yad Vashem, Israel's official memorial to the Holocaust, whose museum is based in Jerusalem.
Simon Bentley, Yad Vashem UK Foundation's chairman, said: "Yad Vashem, as the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre, is committed to honouring non-Jews who have risked their lives to save Jews during the Shoah.
It added the event was cancelled "once that was made clear", asserting that the mosque is a "community hub" with "no connections to any foreign government and stays well clear of anything political or perceived to be political".
This statement was shared on Twitter by journalist Roshan Salih – editor of Muslim community news site 5Pillars and journalist with Iran-funded Press TV – which he said was issued by the mosque.
The Markaz El Tathgheef El-Eslami has been approached for comment.

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Yiva Naturals and I was compensated for it. All opinions are my own.
So last year, I attended the Build Your Blog Conference, put on by the lovely ladies at Six Sister's Stuff. One of the best parts of attending a blog conference, is being able to connect with some amazing companies. One of the companies that I connected with was Yiva Naturals, and I'm excited to share their product with you all today.
Women's Daily Balance is an all natural, drug free supplement that is made from raspberry plant and chasteberry. This combination is created to help tone the uterus muscles and balance hormones. It has SO many benefits, from helping with painful menstrual cramping, to migraines, to bloating and water retention. It was first created to help couples that were dealing with infertility, which is why it stood out to me at first. Although I was blessed to have Jack pretty easily, I know many wonderful couples who aren't as lucky. When I heard some of the stories, of couples who were unable to have children, who took this supplement and conceived soon after, I thought it seemed pretty amazing.
I was given a sample of this to try, and I have actually really liked using it. While I don't identify with most of the symptoms that those who would benefit most from this have, I do suffer from terrible headaches/migraines. After using it, I noticed a difference, and just overall felt better.
Awesome! I don't really have a big problem with "women issues" but I would love to see if it helps headaches when they strike!
I also suffer from migraines so I would love to try this product.

Types of Resources: Resources are usually classified into three types, viz. natural, human made and human resources. Natural Resource: Resources which are obtained from nature are called natural resources.
A resource is a physical material that humans need and value such as land, air, and water. Resources are characterized as renewable or nonrenewable; a renewable resource can replenish itself at the rate it is used, while a nonrenewable resource has a limited supply.
Natural Resources, Human Resources, and Capital Resources are the three types of economic resources, and they are also referred to as "factors of production".
Natural resources can be classified as potential, actual, reserve, or stock resources based on their stage of development. Natural resources are either renewable or non-renewable depending on whether or not they replenish naturally.
The factors of production are resources that are the building blocks of the economy; they are what people use to produce goods and services. Economists divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship.
Biotic Resources: All living organisms in our environment are called biotic resources. For example, trees, animals, insects, etc. Abiotic Resources: All non-living things present in our environment are termed as abiotic resources. Example: earth, air, water, metals, rocks, etc.
Natural resources are materials from the Earth that are used to support life and meet people's needs. Any natural substance that humans use can be considered a natural resource. Oil, coal, natural gas, metals, stone and sand are natural resources. Other natural resources are air, sunlight, soil and water.

Q&A: The digital health company tackling dementia with AI
In 2017, dementia overtook heart disease to become the biggest killer in the UK resulting in calls for increased funding into research for the condition.
As the only disease in the UK's top 10 without a treatment to prevent, cure or slow its progression, dementia is perhaps one of the scariest conditions currently affecting 850,000 people.
Indeed, with soaring rates and a lack of clinical research when compared to other diseases such as cancer and heart disease, dementia statistics are likely to worsen as little progress is made into the condition.
Currently, one of the best ways to fight the condition is through early diagnosis, which, if accurate, can help slow down its progression and gives patients the information and support needed to prepare to live with dementia.
Now, a new start-up hopes to use its technology to improve dementia diagnosis rates across the UK and hopefully help improve the lives of dementia patients. Cognetivity has developed an integrated cognitive assessment (ICA) test which challenges large portions of the brain with natural images, and which is designed as a quick, easy-to-use tool for clinicians.
The idea is that the test, which only takes five minutes, will help clinicians diagnose patients with dementia earlier, enabling quicker treatment and ongoing monitoring.
Here, Digital Health Age sits down with Sina Habibi, founder and CEO of Cognetivity to discuss how the company's test works and the state of dementia in the UK.
Could you tell me about how the Cognetivity test works?
Cognetivity's ICA has a couple of key differences to existing cognitive tests, both in the design of the task itself, and by the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to process the results. In essence the test works by engaging a large proportion of the brain in a single challenging task – and this is very much in line with latest neuroscience theory, which has moved away from using tasks such as testing memory to the idea that in order to detect fine changes in performance you have to test large bodies of cells simultaneously. The ICA exposes the subject to an image for a very short period of time, and the subject has to determine something about the content of the image. The images used vary in composition and have a number of mathematical attributes, ranging from easy to process to difficult. The subject's speed and accuracy are related to the properties of the images (in essence how difficult the image is to process in a small amount of time) and used to create a measure of the subject's ability to process information. Also key to the approach is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyses the data, and to compare the subject to known groups of patients, giving a likelihood of a subject belonging to a particular group, be that "normal" for the age group, suffering from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or displaying the characteristics of mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) amongst others. The beauty of the AI approach is not only that it improves the test's sensitivity, but also that the system can learn from further data, essentially improving its sensitivity and ability to categorise a subject as the system learns.
Cognetivity is used to detect early signs of dementia but could it (or similar platforms) be utilised to help treat the disease or improve cognitive function?
Currently we have no data to suggest that using the ICA leads to improvements in cognitive function; our focus is very much on detecting earlier than currently possible and the significant help this would allow people to receive from existing healthcare pathways and treatment methods. However, there is evidence that regular brain "exercise", whether through traditional activities such as learning a language or a musical instrument, or through electronically delivered games and puzzles, can be helpful in enhancing a patient's cognitive reserve and their coping strategies.
At what stage does dementia have to be detected for patients to benefit the most?
Really as early as possible – the current earliest stage that is considered detectable is the MCI stage, and the ICA has demonstrated its ability to detect the impairment associated with this disease stage. A diagnosis of MCI is certainly early enough to allow a patient the best chance of effective treatment to delay the onset and progression of symptoms, but if we are to really detect earlier we need to be able to pick up on the pre-MCI stage. Even in the absence of a disease modifying therapeutic there is much that can be done to help patients if diagnosed sufficiently early, with significant personal, social and economic benefits. Furthermore, when disease modifying drug treatments are eventually approved it will be vital that they are given to patients at the earliest stage of the disease, as all therapeutics currently in development are designed to stop or slow the progression of the disease rather than re-grow damaged cells associated with significant damage evident in the later stages of the disease.
What's the current state of diagnosis and treatment for dementia like in the UK?
While the treatment of patients in the UK is of a high standard, given the tools available to specialist clinicians, there is an issue with diagnosis at primary healthcare level. The majority of dementia sufferers are either diagnosed too late for effective treatment to be administered, or often are not diagnosed at all. There is a major unmet need for an effective and easily administered cognitive test that can allow the early detection of the cognitive problems associated with dementias such as Alzheimer's disease. If more patients were diagnosed earlier then the specialist treatment pathways already in place in the NHS would be much more effective at providing meaningful care to patients using existing methods.
At what level do you want Cognetivity to be deployed across say the NHS?
Ideally Cognetivity's ICA would be used in a similar way to how blood pressure tests are currently used to screen patients for issued such as cardiovascular problems. The ICA test could be taken as part of routine assessments that can be carried our easily and cheaply, and which provide GPs with meaningful information that can be used to make a diagnosis and to refer to the appropriate specialist treatment. In the case of the ICA the test could be taken when a patient belonging to an at-risk group (for example over the age of 65, or even earlier if we are to truly detect the earliest stages of disease) visits the GP surgery for a general appointment. The test can then be taken unsupervised while the patient waits for their appointment, the results can then be immediately uploaded to Cognetivity's cloud-based servers where the AI engine can analyse the results and transfer these directly to the patient's records in the GP's computer system. The GP can then make an assessment based on meaningful information about the patient's cognitive state in the context of the other information they have. This would massively improve the rates of early detection of dementia at the first point of contact with the health system for all patients.
Following on from that, is there room for Cognetivity to be utilised in other sectors separate from healthcare, like in the workplace or other industries?
Absolutely. We are evaluating the ICA's potential to be used as a fatigue monitor, allowing workers in dangerous or challenging conditions to be warned of the increased potential for accidents due to mistakes caused by fatigue. This could have a significant impact on preventing avoidable accidents that are due to tiredness in a whole swathe of industries and situations.
What barriers currently exist for companies wanting to develop solutions for dementia?
In order to properly develop a solution there are a number of regulatory hurdles that must be cleared if the solution is to be used in a clinical environment – that is to be used by doctors. There is the need to properly validate any solution scientifically though well designed and repeatable studies, and to publish these at conferences and peer reviewed journals. There is also the need to set up the quality-control infrastructure required to achieve regulatory approval, as well as the design and carrying out of the required clinical studies. Even in the case of diagnostic device there is a considerable burden of approval work that needs to be undertaken, often taking years and large amounts of money. The overall process involves a considerable amount of work on a number of fronts – so it's not easy!
Is there a reason that digital solutions for dementia have been fairly non-existent when compared to other conditions like diabetes?
Dementia is not a single disease, rather a family of diseases of which Alzheimer's disease is the commonest and best known. As a condition it has been traditionally underreported (basically explained away as being "just part of ageing") and from a scientific perspective disease has also been poorly understood in terms of its mechanism and contributing factors. The fact that it has historically proven to be so hard to diagnose, even by experts, has made it a challenge to develop meaningful solutions to measure and manage. The whole picture is only recently beginning to become more clear and its complexity still leaves challenges to properly understand how best to help sufferers. Conditions such as diabetes have disease mechanisms and treatments that have better understood for much longer, that need relatively simple measurements to monitor – basically a much easier proposition technically to develop solutions for. The more that dementias are understood and more treatments become available the more effective solutions will be developed to help sufferers.
What do you hope to achieve with Cognetivity?
We basically want to help as many people as possible. There are far too many people suffering unnecessarily due to late diagnosis, or even no diagnosis at all, which leads to patients' disease progressing more quickly than necessary, and untold anxiety for families and friends that is avoidable given an early diagnosis and proper medical support. If, through the unique technology we have developed, we can provide the "killer app" that allows widescale screening so that no-one slips though the gaps then we will have achieved something. We also think we have a role to play in the process of developing drugs to treat these diseases, by offering a sensitive and repeatable tool to detect the subtle and often hard to detect effects of drug candidates in clinical trials. There is a massive need for breakthroughs on this front and if we can be a small part of that it would be a major achievement for everyone involved.

MK heroes, Bronze Age started their existence as a dazzlingly technical and near neoclassical reaction to post-sludge movement of the early noughties. Boasting a line-up of the MK scene's most acclaimed musicians, their sound has matured and blossomed, refracting the heaviness in measured, well timed implosions. All whilst injecting lush, layered vocal melodies and intricate guitar passages in tribute to Talk Talk at their most expansive, Trail of the Dead at their most infectious and Torche and their most harmonically heavy with the might of double rhythm section. Generating mountains of buzz from their recent support slot with Russian Circles, Bronze Age are the only band to return to fest this year for that very reason. They also can't get enough of Tatu.

LETTERKENNY SCHOOLS ~ Errigal College
"Letterkenny was one of the first Vocational Schools to open in the county in 1914. For most of this period it continued to operate from the building on Ard O'Donnell which today houses the VECs Administrative Offices and Adult Education and Training Centre. It was the first school in the county to take students abroad to the Continent for an education al trip during the Easter holidays of 1970. However, by 1974 conditions had deteriorated badly to the level were there were 19 class groups and only 15 classrooms, and conditions were so bad that a bus had to he hired to accommodate a class. Eventually in 1977 a new site was purchased as Windyhall on the Kilmacrennan road and the school moved.
Errigal College offers mainstream education programmes, which include, the junior certificate, leaving certificate, leaving cert applied (LCA) and Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme. The school also offers further education programmes, which are FETAC accredited covering areas such as business/secretarial, sport, childcare and art, craft and design, and prenursing.
Students at the school benefit from a wide variety of sports and recreational activities including football, rugby, athletics, and table tennis, badminton, speech and drama and guitar lessons. A range of learning supports are also available to assist students. Further information can be got by contacting the school."

Gosnell Gives Up Appeal, Prosecutors Agree to Life in Prison, No Death Penalty
by by Steven Ertelt | Philadelphia, PA | LifeNews.com
As a result, prosecutors have agreed to life terms in prison for the former abortion facility owner and he will now not face the death penalty.
Prosecutors agreed to two life sentences without parole, and Gosnell will now face sentencing Wednesday as opposed to next week, where he could have been subjected to the death penalty by a second jury. The prosecutors originally sought the death penalty because Gosnell killed more than one person and because of the age of the newborn babies involved.
They also agreed to the life sentences in prison because Gosnell's age made it unlikely he would be executed before his appeals ran out, as he would die naturally beforehand.
"Gosnell is to be sentenced Wednesday in the death of the third baby, an involuntary manslaughter conviction in the death of a patient and hundreds of lesser counts," AP reported.
Gosnell defense attorney Jack McMahon talked with local media before the sentencing agreement and said he realized it would be an uphill battle to get a lower sentence.
"The media has been overwhelmingly against him," McMahon said. "But I think the jury listened to the evidence … and they found what they found."
Gosnell was found guilty of killing Baby A, Baby C and Baby D and found not guilty of killing Baby E. He was also convicted on hundreds of lesser charges ranging from infanticide to running a corrupt organization.
Gonell was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of patient Karnamaya Mongar, who died after a botched abortion. And he was found guilty on most of the more than 200 counts of violating Pennsylvania's informed consent law.
In total, Gosnell was found guilty of 21 out of 24 felony counts of illegal abortions beyond the 24 week limit and found guilty on all but 16 of 227 misdemeanor counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law.
Under Pennsylvania law, all 12 of the jurors must reach a unanimous verdict on any of the murder counts Gosnell faces for him to be convicted on any of them. Each of the elements of a charged crime must be proven to each juror beyond reasonable doubt for that juror to vote to convict on that count and one reluctant juror could lead to a mistrial on any of the first-degree murder charges.
Below are the details related to the four babies Gosnell was charged with killing:
Baby Boy A was the biggest baby that Kareema Cross had ever seen delivered at Gosnell's abortion "House of Horrors" clinic in the four years she worked there. He was delivered to 17-year old Shaquana Abrams at 29.4 weeks gestation, according to an ultrasound record. Baby Boy A was so large, he did not fit into the plastic shoe box that Gosnell tossed him in. Cross said she saw the baby pull in his arms and legs while Gosnell explained the movements as "reflexes" telling her the baby really didn't move prior to cutting the baby's neck. Baby Boy A was so large, Gosnell joked that "this baby is big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop." Cross and fellow employees Adrienne Moton and 15-year old Ashley Baldwin were all so "startled" by the size of the baby that they all took photos of the baby with their cell phones.
Baby C was an intact baby of over 25-weeks gestation. Kareema Cross testified that she saw Baby C breathing and described the up and down chest movements she observed for 20 minutes. She told the court she saw Lynda Williams lift the baby's arm and watched as the newborn drew it back on its own power. Afterwards, Williams inserted surgical scissors into the baby's neck and "snipped" the spinal cord. Gosnell was said to be in the room at the time. This baby's murder charges were unintentionally dismissed in the place of Baby F, but were reinstated after Judge Minehart discovered his error.
Baby D was described by witnesses as 12-15 inches long with the head the size of a "big pancake" when he was delivered into a toilet. Kareema Cross testified that she saw the baby struggling, using swimming motions in an attempt to get out of the toilet bowl. Adrienne Moton pulled the baby out and "snipped" the neck, as Gosnell had taught her to do, while the mother watched. Gosnell has also been charged with Criminal Solicitation of Moton to commit murder of Baby D.
Baby E was estimated to be at least 23 weeks gestation and maybe more. After Baby E was delivered, teen Ashley Baldwin heard the baby cry and called Kareema Cross for help. Cross described the baby's cry as a "whine." Baldwin said that Gosnell when into the room then came out with the baby — which now had an incision in its neck — and tossed it into the waste bin.
Eight other defendants who are former staffers of Gosnell's Philadelphia abortion clinic have pleaded guilty to a variety of charges and are awaiting sentencing.
Previously, the judge in the case reinstated one of the murder charges and dropped another. Gosnell's defense attorney asked the judge to drop three of the charges for killing the babies and the judge agreed with the contention there was not enough evidence to convict Gosnell on those charges. Another charge of infanticide was also dropped.
One of the dropped charges involved a 28-week-old baby Gosnell killed and whose remains were kept in an abortion clinic freezer.
Common pleas court Judge Jeffrey Minehart also dropped five counts of corpse abuse at the request of his defense attorney and did not explain his ruling dropping any of the charges.
The defense had argued that there were no live births at Gosnell's Women's Medical Center abortion clinic and contends the babies died during abortions and their necks were snipped afterwards. But former Gosnell staffers testified they saw signs of life even after the abortion had been completed — saying the babies "jumped" and "screamed" and tried to escape.
Gosnell, whose squalid "house of horrors" abortion clinic has surprised even investigative officials, has had almost flippant attitude toward his macabre abortion practices shocked the nation.
"The Gosnell case is a watershed moment for the issue of abortion," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue and Pro-Life Nation. "The discovery of his horrific practices helped shed light on an abortion industry that has run amok without oversight or accountability for decades, and has prompted significant changes in abortion laws and attitudes toward enforcement in several states."
Previously, Gosnell's wife Pearl pleaded guilty to assisting her husband at his Philadelphia abortion center where he killed a woman in a botched abortion and has killed hundreds of babies in abortion-infanticides. Pearl Gosnell was considering a plea deal similar to the one several of Gosnell's former abortion center employees have made where they have pleaded guilty to receive a lesser sentence in exchange for testifying against Gosnell.
Pearl also worked at the abortion center Gosnell ran that had him kill and injure women in failed abortions and kill perhaps hundreds of babies in grisly infanticides by birthing them and "snipping" their spinal cords. She worked at the Women's Medical Society abortion business her husband ran as a full-time medical assistant from 1982 until she married Kermit Gosnell in 1990, when she switched to only working on Sundays.
At that time, the abortion business was officially closed but would do its latest-term abortions possible. The grand jury report indicates Pearl Gosnell testified that she alone helped Kermit do abortions on Sundays when she would "help do the instruments" in the operating room despite no medical training.
The murder charges also came in connection with the botched abortion death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar, who died at Gosnell's abortion clinic after a failed abortion. Mongar died November 20, 2009, after overdosing on anesthetics prescribed by the doctor.
Mongar's family filed a lawsuit against Gosnell's abortion business seeking damages. Gosnell and several staffers at his abortion center, including Pearl, were arrested in January after a grand jury indicted them on multiple charges after officials raided his abortion business following a woman's death and discovered a "shop of horrors" filled with bags of bodies and body parts of deceased unborn children and babies killed in infanticides.
Meanwhile, women have spoken out about their treatment and one woman says she was drugged and tied up and forced to have an abortion. Authorities searching the facility found bags and bottles holding aborted babies scattered around the building, jars containing babies' severed feet lining a shelf, as well as filthy, unsanitary furniture and equipment.
The grand jury investigation also shows state officials did nothing when reports came in about problems at Gosnell's abortion center, which has upset incoming pro-life Governor Tom Corbett.
Gosnell's abortion center was inspected only after a federal drug raid in 2010. It was the first time the facility had been inspected in 17 years because state officials ignored complaints and failed to visit Gosnell's Women's Medical Society for years.
The abortion industry has been forced to suspend two abortion businesses that employed embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who has been the subject of national controversy over his abortion business in Philadelphia.

IT Professionals Say Fast Actionable Data Remains a Myth
Rex McMillan
Learn more about Ivanti
Data may be pouring into enterprises but IT professionals still find most of it stuck in siloed departments and weeks away from being able to drive any valued action. Coupled with the ongoing concerns over security responsiveness, IT teams have to push aside other important performance-oriented data in order to ensure security data, at least, gets prominent attention. A new survey by Ivanti shows the disconnect between enterprise departments struggling to improve operations like automation while being challenged with a siloed structure and a data onslaught.
Survey findings from over 400 IT professionals showed that security remains the top priority (70%) in obtaining real-time actionable data. Other key priorities get secondary consideration as they suffer from siloed departments. Automation (46%), user productivity and troubleshooting (42%) and customer experience (41%) have to take a back seat as IT focuses attention on data that may indicate a critical risk. Additionally the survey found that application deployment takes IT teams the most time to perform, followed by backup and data protection.
Conversely, the survey found that onboarding/offboarding suffers the least (20%) due to siloes, an indication IT and HR have found a way to work far more closely with integrated goals.
Key findings of the report were:
■ Only 10% of respondents said the data they receive is actionable within minutes.
■ More than half of IT professionals (51%) report they have to work with their data for days, weeks or more, before it's actionable.
■ One in three respondents said they have the resources to act on their data but more than half (52%) said they only sometimes have the resources.
■ 15% of IT professionals say they have too many data sources to count.
■ 37% of professionals said they have about 11-25 different sources for data.
Siloed Organizations Slow Down Data Action and Performance
To improve performance, notably application deployment, automation and troubleshooting user productivity issues, IT professionals need a more unified approach when working across organizational departments and existing silos. Security remains a major data insights requirement, but it's also important to note that IT organizations need to find better ways to work with their data or it will continue to impact other critical IT priorities.
Organizations need to start erasing siloes and enabling IT teams to have more insight into departments. Better access to application data, for example, will help IT to use the data resources enterprises are paying for, and realize value from the investment.
