My Thesis in 180 Seconds 2018 - Louise Souquet and Hadrien De Blander win the Université de Lyon regional final
On The March 29, 2018
The Université de Lyon regional final of the My Thesis in 180 Seconds (MT180) competition was held on Thursday, March 29, in the Université de Lyon's Grand Amphithéâtre. Fourteen candidates from the site's institutions presented their thesis subjects, with a mix of humor and apprehension, to a full house before three jury prizes and one audience prize were awarded.
My Thesis in 180 Seconds, an international French-speaking competition first launched in Quebec, invites PhD students to present their research topic in simple, lay terms to a jury and non-specialist audience. Each year, after the regional final, two candidates from each participating university group compete in a national semi-final.
The Université de Lyon regional final
On Thursday, March 29, fourteen Ph.D. students from the Lyon Saint-Étienne site presented their research project in three minutes. The Université de Lyon's Grand Amphithéâtre had a full house for the event, with around 350 people gathering to support their favorite candidates.
Among the audience was this year's attentive jury, comprising:
Guillaume Desbrosse, Director of CCSTI La Rotonde, President of AMCSTI and President of the 2018 MT180 jury;
Brigitte Prével, Deputy Director of Development and Communications at the Institut Lumière et Matière de Lyon;
Marie-Claire Villeval, Research Director at CNRS and Director of GATE-Lab;
David Bruchlen, Director General of ScienceMeUp;
Guillaume Lamy, journalist at Lyon Capitale.
The finalists
Louise Souquet won the jury's first prize for her thesis on "The Study of Intraspecific Variation and Covariation Patterns in Conodont Elements" conducted at ENS de Lyon. Behind this mysterious title, her focus lies on the origins of our teeth and their ability to regenerate, by studying those of small prehistoric animals.
Samara Danel, a PhD student at the Université Lumière Lyon 2, won the jury's second prize for her thesis entitled "Physical Cognition in Birds: a General or Adapted Field?", in which she demonstrates how geese and linnets are not as stupid as we think!
Finally, Hadrien De Blander from the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 won third prize for his thesis on "Cellular Plasticity and Tumor Initiation in Breast Cancer Models" by drawing on the metaphor of a Jedi. He also won the audience prize following a vote among the audience at the competition.
Louise and Hadrien will, therefore, be heading to Paris to fly the Université de Lyon's flag during the national semi-final, from April 5 to 7, 2018, before the international final, which will be held in Lausanne on September 27, 2018.

The Royal Flying Doctor Service strives to offer quality medical care to all individuals living, working or travelling to Australia. They offer a variety of services including the following.
The (RFDS) Royal Flying Doctor Service offers 24-hour emergency medical care to patients across the country through the incorporation of aviation services together with medical services. Aircraft use has enabled RFDS to reach patients in remote regions of the continent faster. This has made it easier for RFDS to offer efficient medical services to various individuals spread out in remote locations of the country 24 hours a day.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service ensures health services are accessible in the Outback by taking health clinics to these communities. Nurses and other qualified personnel in the medical field offer their services to communities in remote regions. RFDS strives to give great medical care to all regardless of their location.
The Royal Flying Doctor offers oral health services in various parts of the country. Most people living in remote areas of the country don't have access to quality dental services. The RFDS steps in once in a while reaching out to communities staying in the Outback and offers them quality dental services. RFDS rolls out these services through setting up mobile clinics. They're sponsored by various bodies including the government a major sponsor of these services throughout the country.
People living in remote areas of the country get quality health services by calling doctor's form the RFDS. They're available 24 hours offering consultation services to individuals who can't get access to quality medical services. Telehealth has helped individuals treat minor health-related problems without physically visiting a health facility for medical services.
Mental Health Services are offered by the RFDS to people living in remote areas of the country. Mental health is not accessible to everyone living in Australia especially individuals who live in the rural parts of the country. RFDS offers mental health services in New South Wales, Queensland and Central Australia making sure everyone gets access to mental health services.
The RFDS plays a vital role in transferring patients in need of urgent medical attention are transported from one place to another. They ease the burden of transporting patients who need proper medical care to equipped facilities which offer good medical services. Qualified medical personnel is always on call on the ground and in the air while transferring patients making sure patients are comfortable while standing by for any emergency services they may need to perform on patients.

Current fall delivery bids are near $3.60 per bushel for corn and $9.60 per bushel for soybeans. At those prices, high yields are needed for farmers to break-even on cash rented farmland. Alternatively, at trend yield levels, prices need to be above $4.00 per bushel for corn and $10.00 per bushel for soybeans for farmers to break-even. This 2018 situation is roughly the same as in 2016 and 2017. In those two years, both corn and soybean yields were significantly above trend, boosting revenue and causing net incomes on many farms to be positive. Whether above trend yields happen in 2018 remains to be seen. Incomes could turn out to be positive in 2018. However, a scenario with trend yields and prices at current fall delivery bid levels results in very low and perhaps negative incomes on many farms in 2018.
Also shown in Table 1 are trend yields. A trend yield give an expected yield for a year. Trend yields shown in Table 1 are based on state yields from 1972 to 2017, with adjustments made for central Illinois. Reflecting technological progress in agriculture, trend yields have been increasing 1.9 bushels per year for corn and .5 bushels per year for soybeans. In 2017, trend yields were 200 bushels per acre of corn and 60 bushels per acre for soybeans.
Since the 2012 drought year, all actual yields have been at or above trend (see Table 1). Corn yields were 4 bushels above tend in 2013, 37 bushels in 2014, 4 bushels in 2015, 30 bushels in 2016, and 21 bushels in 2017. Soybean yields were 0 bushels above trend in 2013, 5 bushels in 2014, 7 bushels in 2015, 9 bushels in 2016, and 8 bushels in 2017.
These above trend yields lead to higher revenues. In the past two years, corn averaged 25 bushels above trend. At a price of $3.40, these 25 bushels above trend contributed $85 per acre more to revenue. In 2016 and 2017, soybean yields have averaged 8 bushels above trend. At a $9.50 soybean price, these 8 bushels contributed $76 per acre more to revenue. These additional revenues were calculated without considering the impact that high yields had on crop prices. Above average yields in Illinois lead to higher corn and soybean supplies, which then decrease corn and soybean prices. Even without this consideration, it is important to realize that higher yields contributed to revenue and income in 2016 and 2017.
Without above-trend yields, corn and soybean prices must be higher than current fall delivery bids for farms to break-even in 2018. On the other hand, a continuation of high yields would result in roughly break-even profits for corn and soybeans given current bid levels for fall delivery. To illustrate, break-even prices are calculated for two yields: 1) a trend yield, and 2) a higher yield reflecting 2016 and 2017 conditions. Resulting break-even prices are shown in Table 2.
For corn, break-even prices are calculated given $801 per acre in costs including non-land costs of $534 per acre in non-land costs and a cash rent of $267 per acre (see Revenue and Costs for Producing Corn and Soybeans). Owned and share-rent land may have lower break-evens depending on debt levels and terms of the share-rent agreement, respectively. Trend yield for central Illinois high-productivity farmland in 2018 is 202 bushels per acre. The resulting break-even price is $3.97 per bushel ($801 in costs / 202 bushels per acre). Conversely, a high yield of 229 bushels per acre has a break-even of $3.50 per bushel ($801 per acre / 229 bushels per acre).
Current fall delivery bids for corn in central Illinois are near $3.60 per bushel. As expected given a $3.97 break-even price, a $3.60 price produces a loss at the 202 bushel trend yield. The loss equals -$74 per acre ($3.60 price x 202 yield – $801 costs). Conversely, a $3.60 price result in a profit of $23 per acre given the high yield of 229 bushels per acre ($23 profit = $3.60 price x 229 yield – $801 total costs).
For soybeans, break-even prices are calculated for costs of $601 per acre including non-land costs of $334 per acre and a cash rent of $267 per acre (see Table 2). A trend yield of 61 bushels per acre gives a $9.85 per bushel break-even price ($9.85 = $601 costs / 61 yield). A "high" yield of 68 bushels per acre has an $8.84 break-even price ($8.84 = $601 / 68 yield).
Current fall delivery bids for soybeans are near $9.70 per bushel. At a $9.70 price, a trend yield of 61 bushels per acre produces a loss of -$3 per acre ($9.70 price x 61 yield – $601 costs). A $9.70 price results in a profit of $65 per acre at the high yield of 68 bushels per acre ($65 = $9.80 price x 68 yield – $601 costs).
Budgets for 2018 developed with a $3.60 price for corn and $9.70 price for soybeans will generate negative cash flows on many farms that cash rent farmland. Either higher prices or higher yields are needed for positive cash flows. As farmers plan for 2018, cash flow planning will result in dreary income projections on many farms.
The budgeting situation in 2018 is roughly the same as it was in 2016 and 2017. In the winter of 2016 and 2017, either above trend yields or higher prices were needed to produce positive incomes. In those two years, higher yields resulted in higher revenues and positive incomes on many Illinois farms.
Just as in 2016 and 2017, higher yields in 2018 could result in positive incomes on most Illinois farms, but there is no guarantee of this occurring.
Higher prices are also possible, particularly if lower yields occur in central Illinois. Trend yields in Illinois likely would be widespread over a wide area resulting in reduced corn and soybean supplies and higher prices. With trend yields, above $4.00 corn prices and above $10 soybean prices are possible. Again, those higher prices are not guaranteed if yields are closer to trend.
Low to negative incomes will result if prices continue at their current levels and yields are close to trend. This situation could arise if Illinois has near trend yields and other areas of the Corn Belt have better than trend yields.
Similar to recent years, expected yields and fall delivery prices during the winter months will result in losses on many farms, particularly those who rent a majority of their farmland. Above-trend yields, higher prices, or a combination of the two could again result in positive returns. Time will tell. Still, it is a rather uncomfortable position to be in where realistic yield and price expectations result in very low incomes.

You get to learn…a lot!
Be it learning a new culture or learning a new language or learning on how people tackle their daily problem, you name it and you are learning it. This is the best part I like on traveling. It will teach you how to be smart and take rapid decisions at time. It will help you to become a risk taker. All these important things can't be learned at home.
When you will experience things around while traveling, it will open up your perspective in terms of lets say, managing limited resources or time management or exploring yourself when no one is around. You will definitely cherish this as you go on with life.
Yes that's right! When you travel a lot you have stories to tell to others from that place, what you saw? What you ate? How beautiful was the experience? How was the hotel staff? Which car you hired? And the list goes on. This is definitely better than gossiping about something or someone. People will always find you resourceful wherever you go.
When you travel alone or with someone, you will put yourself in some unforeseen situations which are not part of the daily routine, like what to do when you are unable to communicate in local language or how to convince people to have a beer together and so on. The way you handle this situation will tell you more and more about yourself.
It help you to take time from your daily routine and find inner peace in some corner of the world. If you are not meditating daily, no problem. Traveling once a month will help you here. Imagine coming back fresh as if you have rebooted yourself. Ahh, the feeling itself is so amazing!

Broadway-seasoned director boosts Flint Hill arts program
By Kamryn Olds, Staff Writer|October 30, 2014
Photo Credit: Kamryn Olds
Pramstaller works through a piece of choral music with junior Michelle Pawlow.
Now in her third year at Flint Hill, Sarah Pramstaller, Middle and Upper School Choral Teacher and Director of Musical Productions, is improving upon the school's performing arts program, utilizing her professional experience as a Broadway actress.
Referred to as "Ms. P" by students, Pramstaller is a graduate of James Madison University, where she majored in music education. Yet, due to her involvement in many of the school's musical theater productions, Pramstaller felt that theater also played an important role in her college experience and could not let go of it once leaving her alma mater.
"I moved to NYC after college and started auditioning right away for shows," said Pramstaller. "I was very fortunate that things happened pretty quickly for me. I auditioned daily and actually got cast fairly often. There were times of course when I had to wait tables, but, for the most part, I was lucky enough to be performing. The hardest part was knowing what was coming next."
After a successful run pursuing theatre, what came next was taking advantage of her college major and beginning to teach. The experience and lessons that Pramstaller received while on Broadway carried over to her teaching style.
By the way, Pramstaller also taught at the now-famous School of Rock.
Middle and Upper School band and guitar teacher Derek Scott, who is also Pramstaller's close friend, colleague, and co-director of the Major Minors with her, said that her "practicality and personality are the biggest evidence of Broadway on her teaching."

"She knows what it takes to be successful on stage from a musical perspective (and dramatically too), and she clearly conveys this information to her students," said Scott. "However, she [does not] impose her experience on students as a 'template' for success. She encourages individualistic developments in the context of what she knows will work."
Junior Michelle Pawlow, who began as a freshman in the Upper School the same year Pramstaller began her work at Flint Hill, had a similar comment about her teacher.
"Initially, coming in as a freshman, I think that [everyone is] pretty nervous because they don't know anyone, and it's a new school for most people," said Pawlow. "So, I think the fact that [Pramstaller] was new too really helped me because I really enjoyed choir previously. She's strict and she sets the rules, but she's not overpowering…I feel like knowing that she has gone through Broadway and [that] experience is reassuring because if you want to do that, she's speaking from experience."
Scott also described how Pramstaller's experience on Broadway affects the variety of the work she has produced over the course of her past three years at Flint Hill. He stated that there has been no shortage of balance between the different musical genres included in Pramstaller's previous selections.
"I think of it like sneaking the vitamins in with the candy bar," said Scott. "I think that Ms. P does a very similar thing… This musical balance is essential [to] growing the student's abilities and fueling their desire to love what they are doing."
One general consensus between the majority of people at Flint Hill who have worked with Pramstaller at anytime is that she is always professional yet always carries a fun, playful, and excited demeanor. She smiles, she laughs, and she enjoys the time that she has with her students.
When asked to provide a few adjectives for what her hopes were for the remainder of the choral year, Pramstaller said that she she wants her choirs to be "enthusiastic, invested, well-balanced, resilient, and joyful."

Red Hat Adds Black Tie As Substitute For Tuxedo
The company offers its JBoss BlackTie.org project over BEA's software to emulate transaction-processing monitors that connect large servers.
Charles Babcock
Editor at Large, Cloud
Red Hat's JBoss middleware unit has launched an open source project intended to extend JBoss's transaction processing capability. The goal is to let JBoss substitute a Black Tie for BEA System's Tuxedo transaction processing monitor and mainframe legacy systems.
BEA is in the process of being acquired by Oracle in a deal announced Jan. 16, and Red Hat appears bent on giving BEA Tuxedo and other legacy system users an open source escape hatch, if they choose to use it.
The new JBoss BlackTie.org project announced Thursday will focus on emulating transaction-processing monitors that still handle many of the connections and relationships between large servers and enterprise end users. A transaction processing monitor still in use on the IBM mainframe is Customer Information and Control System, more commonly known as CICS. Transaction Processing Facility is IBM's high volume transaction processing monitor still used on mainframes in the airline industry. JBoss executives have not specifically named CICS or TPF as future targets.
The Black Tie project will build out C and C++ mainframe compatible transaction capabilities, making these systems and their applications easier to integrate with Java applications managed by JBoss, a Java middleware suite. Craig Muzilla, VP of middleware, announced the new project at the JBoss' user group meeting this week in Orlando.
In addition, Red Hat and an open source systems management vendor, Hyperic, said they are starting a joint Web software management project called RHQ at www.rhq-project.org. Hyperic produces a Web site management system, currently dubbed Hyperic HQ 3.2. The joint engineering project will seek to develop a common service management platform that will be used in each company's product line. Hyperic senior VP of engineering, Paul Melmon, called it "proof of the ability of open source to address the management challenges" of Web-driven business.
Both projects are expected to produce code that will serve as the code base for additional JBoss products. BlackTie.org may lead to extensions to JBoss Transactions. RHQ is expected to produce code for JBoss Operations Network 2.0, due in the spring, as a common services management platform, JBoss officials said.
Red Hat is in the process of building out a JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform to compete with leading SOA vendors and announced the first availability of it at the show. It includes the JBoss Enterprise Service Bus for integration applications and services; JBoss jBPM or business process management, for orchestrating components into services with workflow-based human interventions; and JBoss Rules, a rules engine for building and applying routing to messages based on the message content.

Obviously, the House Democrats can pass anything they want in the next Congress but unless it is linked to must-pass legislation, they don't have a prayer of compelling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to consider legislation he doesn't like. Still, the Democrats made a lot of promises on the campaign trail and they have to make a sincere effort to show that they intend to follow up. It has now been announced that the House of Representatives, under New Democratic leadership, will bring up a very large bill as its first order of business in January.
House Democrats unveiled details of their first bill in the new Congress on Friday — a sweeping anti-corruption bill aimed at stamping out the influence of money in politics and expanding voting rights.
This is House Resolution 1 — the first thing House Democrats will tackle after the speaker's vote in early January. To be clear, this legislation has little-to-no chance of passing the Republican-controlled Senate or being signed by President Donald Trump.
But by making anti-corruption their No. 1 priority, House Democrats are throwing down the gauntlet for Republicans.
Here are some of the things the surviving House Republicans will have to oppose if they don't want to support House Resolution 1.
A requirement that members of Congress stop using taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment cases or buy first-class plane tickets.
A new ethical code for the US Supreme Court.
Restoration of the gutted Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Public financing of campaigns, including a voluntary 6-1 match for candidates for president and Congress.
A requirement that Super PACs and "dark money" political organizations make the identity of their donors public.
A requirement that social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter disclose the source of money for political ads they run and an accounting of how much money was spent.
Money for improved elections security, including a requirement that the Director of National Intelligence provide regular updates on foreign threats.
A requirement that President Trump release his tax returns.
No member of the House will want to be on the record as having opposed all of the items on that list since most of them poll very well. Some Republicans will probably vote for the bill for that reason, but I doubt there will be many defectors because most of the truly vulnerable Republicans have already been defeated.
The hope is that anyone who won't support these measures is going to open themselves up to potent lines of attack, and some people who would not otherwise be vulnerable will begin to find themselves in jeopardy if they continue to defy popular common-sense legislation.
According to Rep. John Sarbanes of Maryland, who will be spearheading this bill, the Democrats won't stop with just passing this big comprehensive legislation.
HR 1 will be a large package, but Sarbanes said in addition to passing it as the first bill, members will likely break out pieces of it into smaller bills as well that individually could get bipartisan support from Republicans in the Senate — things including the Honest Ads Act and election security.
It's possible that at least some of these measures could stand a chance of getting a Senate hearing if taken up individually, but it would require a big public outcry. At this time next year, when Congress is trying to finish up all the spending bills to keep the government operating, we might see some of this get attached to the must-pass legislation.
If not, then the Democrats will have at least brought forward their ideas and given the electorate a better understanding of the differences between the two parties and what to expect if they get complete control.
He just told bankers that the way to promote their agenda is to give money to members of Congress.

In many situations your body language, is very important to the proper perception of your message.
If you have great body language, i.e. you have a great visual impact, then that can make your message more powerful and appealing.
If you have shoddy body language, i.e. if you present a horrifying visual image, then the good content of your message could lose its power and its appeal.
Take this simple questionnaire to discover, to what degree you are using your body language to your own best advantage.
Simply answer the questions and we will immediately send you your Body Language Intelligence Test (BLIT score) out of 100, together with an action plan that will give you the steps to take to improve your ability to communicate with your body.
Q1 - Do you tend to sit up straight in your chair or, as the meeting goes on, do you tend to slump further and further into your seat?
Q2 - When you leave the house, do you think about how your dress code will likely impact on the minds of your audience, or are you more likely to think, "They can take me as I am. They should not judge a book by its cover".
Q3 - Are you a Touchy Feely person? Do you like to put your hands on people, slap their backs, and touch their arm, as you talk? Or are you mildly irritated by people who invade your personal space?
Q4 - How would you describe your handshake?
Q5 - Do you ever point your finger or pen at people as you speak to them?
Q6 - Do you tend to look at people in the eye as you speak to them, or do you find looking into people's eyes a little intrusive or intimidating?
Q7 - How would you describe your default facial expression?
Q8 - Do you ever think about the angle at which you stand or sit, relative to the other person? Or is this something you have never thought about?
I have never given my orientation of body-angle any thought whatsoever I try not to stand or sit square on, or across a table.
Q9 - Other than when you are on public transport, do you ever make the mistake of Invading Personal Space, getting too close to other people, causing them to think you are some kind of weirdo with no sense of decorum?
Q10 - Do you check to see that you have a nice smell? Or at least that you don't emit a bad smell? Errors include "coffee breath", "cigarette breath", and even TOO MUCH perfume.
I am very mindful of the issue of body scent, and I am careful to smell right I am mindful of body scent but maybe NOT so mindful of the issue of bad breath I don't think about body my body odour. Nobody has ever said anything so I assume I am fine. People just love my powerful natural pheromones. It drives them crazy with sexual desire.
Q11 - When at work, and in a standing position, do you manage to stand, unaided, without the need to lean, or do you tend to lean against walls, tables, or other people?
Q12 - To what degree would you say you are well groomed? Or do you have previous convictions for looking tacky?

With any kind of Brexit, there are no winners. But the UK will be the biggest loser for sure.
but future prospects would undoubtedly be better for the UK.....even if only because of saving that ridiculous £mult-billion annual tribute to the EU.
And you say that after Japan has just signed a trade deal with Japan.
It was absolutely stupid, ( and probably raised deliberately to have such an effect), to get Parliament to declare that 'a no-deal' is off the table'....whilst this motion is not a mandatory imposition on the government, it will certainly encourage, and enable the EU to play hard ball until well after the 11th hour.
Others would say that the problem is the high number of Quitters. If the number of quitters were lower, the deal would have passed. I say *the* deal because there is no other deal, only unicorns.
If the number of quitters were lower, the deal would have passed. I say *the* deal because there is no other deal, only unicorns.
The problem being it may well be a donkey with plunger on it head.
Did you enjoy your bread and water?
Bread and water? What are you on about?
Unlike many of my neighbours, I don't have a food problem.
It was a joke, welcome back.
It's also a lie that the UK has hired 20,000 extra civil servants. It has merely moved a few people sideways, which probably speaks more about the over staffing in the civil service. But it hasn't cost 20,000 new jobs.
So, the government doesnt have any intention of allowing no deal, and its just all for show, so they have shifted a few people sideways to pretend there is even the slightest possibility of no deal?
Because if it really happense, they will need a lot more,permanently.
So, the government doesnt have any intention of allowing no deal, .
Frankly in practical terms the point of no return has been reached and passed. In my opinion there will be a hard Brexit with no Customs Union and if I were an international smuggling gang leader I would be jumping for joy.


Dec - 13 | By: Green Production | no comments.
Governor Kitzhaber presented the Oregon Governor's Award for Green Leadership to PlyVeneer Products, (for the development of ScenicPly in collaboration with EcoScenic) on Monday night at the Film Office's public Annual Meeting in Portland. Reading the details of the award was First Lady of Oregon, Cylvia Hayes. (Cylvia is also founder of 3E Strategies, a consulting firm and green product development company.) Over two hundred industry members were present. PlyVeneer Products had some ScenicPly samples on hand that provided some keen interest.
Over two years ago, working entertainment industry professionals; Garvin Eddy and Jim Jones from EcoScenic, were searching the internet for companies that were manufacturing green building products for use in set building, as an alternative to the commonly used luan plywood. 20 million square feet of luan are used per year in the industry and current estimates indicate that 70% of this wood used in the luan product is being harvested illegally from endangered forests in SE Asia. EcoScenic set out to develop an American-made, superior product that comes from legal and responsible wood sources.

EcoScenic discovered PlyVeneer Products in Springfield, Oregon and formed a partnership with National Sales Manager, Jerry Gabrio. After multiple fabrications and many stage and studio tests carried out on working production sets in Los Angeles, they together developed, ScenicPly.
Last month, PlyVeneer Products announced that ScenicPly had earned it's Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification for this American-made plywood panel, from Scientific Certification Systems, one of the world's leading FSC certifiers and one of FSC's founding members. FSC provides third-party certification confirming that materials sold as "FSC certified" are harvested from well-managed forest operations.
Currently there are three Oregon plants involved under PlyVeneer in the manufacture of ScenicPly and two of these are currently on curtailed operational schedules. With the recent FSC certification, ScenicPly is beginning to get orders and as these increase PlyVeneer anticipates that it will be a key contributor to getting these plants back on track.
Given the state of Oregon's commitment to the green and sustainable sector, it seemed only natural that the film office find a way to promote and support eco-friendly business practices in Oregon's film and TV industry. Some years ago the film office created a Green Resource Guide, pulling together many green vendors and services that are production related and more recently we created of the Green Leadership Award (2010) as way to honor and encourage green leadership in our state's film and TV community.
Currently NBC Universal is shooting their new show "Grimm" in the Portland Metro area. We have been able to work alongside Green Is Universal and incorporate many eco-friendly practices into this production, including the use of some ScenicPly on the "Grimm" set and we expect more exciting efforts to come.
We send a hearty congratulations to PlyVeneer and EcoScenic for their contribution of ScenicPly and leading the way in sustainable business and production practices. Congratulations!


• A Motion to Withdraw (Doc. 522) and Brief in Support (Doc. 523) filed by Cuker's California attorneys in this case.
For the reasons given below, Cuker's Motions for Sanctions and for Attorneys' Fees and Costs and Walmart's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law are GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART, Walmart's Motion for New Trial or Remittitur is DENIED, and Cuker's Motions to Withdraw are GRANTED.
On January 30, 2014, Walmart and Cuker signed a contract under which Walmart agreed to pay Cuker a fixed fee of $577, 719, in exchange for Cuker's provision of certain services to help make the website for Walmart's "ASDA Groceries business" responsive, irrespective of the device on which it is being viewed, such as a desktop or a mobile phone [("the Contract")]. See Doc. 124-7, pp. 8, 17. Walmart was facing very tight internal deadlines for this project, and the contract-negotiation process was a very speedy one, taking merely a few weeks rather than the months that were more typical. See Doc. 121-1, p. 3. The project launched almost immediately in early February, and by the end of that month the parties were already experiencing fundamental disagreements on matters such as whether various milestones for performance were strict deadlines or mere aspirations, when interim fee payments were due, how many rounds of revisions Walmart could require Cuker to make to its deliverables, and whether particular demands by Walmart were outside of the scope of work that Cuker had contracted to deliver.
(Doc. 197, pp. 1-2). Eventually, in July 2014, Walmart won a race to the courthouse, and the following month this lawsuit was removed from the Circuit Court of Benton County to this Court. The parties asserted various cross-claims against each other, and extremely heated and tortured litigation followed over the next several years.
On April 10, 2017, the case finally went to trial, which lasted two weeks. The jury returned a verdict against Walmart on its claim against Cuker for breach of contract, and in favor of Cuker on its claims against Walmart for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and misappropriation of trade secrets. The jury awarded Cuker a total of $12, 438, 665 in damages. The Court subsequently reduced this amount to $10, 197, 065, and on July 28, 2017, entered Judgment in favor of Cuker, including injunctive relief. See Doc. 484. After the entry of Judgment, post-verdict motion practice ensued. The Court stayed execution on the money judgment, see Doc. 488, and stayed the injunction, see Doc. 503, pending resolution of the various post-trial motions.
This Opinion and Order resolves all pending motions in this case. The above-mentioned motions are all ripe for decision, and can be divided into three categories. First, Walmart has filed two motions concerning the evidence that came in at trial. Second, Cuker has filed two motions concerning attorney fees, costs, and sanctions that it seeks to recover from Walmart. And third, Cuker's attorneys have filed two motions seeking to withdraw from this case. Below, the Court will address those motions in the sequence just listed.
In this Section, the Court will first take up Walmart's Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law under Rule 50(b). Then, the Court will turn to Walmart's Motion for New Trial or Remittitur under Rule 59.
(2) assume that all conflicts in the evidence were resolved in favor of the prevailing party, (3) assume as proved all facts that the prevailing party's evidence tended to prove, and (4) give the prevailing party the benefit of all favorable inferences that may reasonably be drawn from the facts proved. That done, the court must then deny the motion if reasonable persons could differ as to the conclusions to be drawn from the evidence.
Id. (quoting Ryther v. KARE 11, 108 F.3d 832, 844 (8th Cir. 1997) (en banc)).
Walmart has marshaled an enormous number of arguments in support of its Rule 50(b) Motion. As a consequence of some of the rulings herein, many of Walmart's arguments will not need to be reached. But the arguments that will be reached are organized below as follows. First, the Court will address arguments concerning Cuker's claim for breach of contract. Second, the Court will turn to Cuker's claim for unjust enrichment. Third, the Court will take up Cuker's trade secret claims. Fourth, the Court will deal with Walmart's argument about Copyright Act preemption. And fifth, the Court will rule on Walmart's argument about capping Cuker's damages pursuant to a limitation-of-liability clause in the Contract.
The jury found for Cuker on its claim against Walmart for breach of contract. See Doc. 444, p. 5. Walmart argues that this verdict should be reversed because "Cuker failed to perform the contract according to its terms, " and "introduced insufficient evidence of any facts that would excuse its non-performance of the contract." See Doc. 501, p. 82. Walmart's briefing on this issue focuses exclusively on alleged failures of performance by Cuker in the months of May and June of 2014. Specifically, Walmart argues that Cuker breached the contract by withholding the May 23 and June 25 code drops until July 17 despite having completed its work on them by June 2. See Id. at 82-86. Walmart also points to Cuker's failure to deliver testing reports/issue resolution summaries by May 14 and June 13, and to Cuker's failure to provide 30 days of post-launch support for the website, as breaches excusing Walmart's performance under the contract. See Id. at 86.
The Court instructed the jury that "a 'material breach' is a failure to perform an essential term or condition that substantially defeats the purpose of the contract for the other party, " and that "[a] material breach by one party excuses the performance of the other party." See Doc. 434, p. 18. The Court also instructed the jury that "the law implies a promise between the parties that they will not do anything to prevent, hinder, or delay the performance of the contract, " and that the jury could "consider the alleged acts, hindrances, and delays of Walmart . . . as evidence of a breach of the contract." See Id. at 17.
The Court disagrees with Walmart, and believes that Cuker did introduce sufficient evidence of facts from which a jury could reasonably find that Cuker's performance under the contract was excused. Aaron Cuker testified that on February 12, 2014, Walmart asked Cuker to design 80 wireframes-a number far in excess of the 13 templates required by the Contract-and then threatened to withhold approvals (and, consequently, payments) for within-scope work unless Cuker complied with this request. See Doc. 407, pp. 198-206, 295; Defendant's Exhibits 36, 39. And Nikolaj Baer testified that Walmart never provided a workable development environment as required by the Contract, thus requiring Cuker to create a development environment itself in order to perform its own obligations under the Contract. See Doc. 411, pp. 48-49, 76-82; Plaintiff's Exhibit 126, p. 15, row 5. The jury could credit this testimony, and could conclude that these demands, threats, and failures of performance by Walmart in February 2014 substantially defeated the purpose of the Contract for Cuker, and prevented, hindered, and delayed Cuker's performance under the Contract, by forcing Cuker to choose between two unacceptable options: (1) either perform an enormous amount of additional work that Cuker never agreed to perform under the fixed-price Contract, and thereby become unable to meet the "milestone" dates set out in the Contract for the work that it was obligated to do, or else (2) refuse to do the additional work but at the explicit risk of not being paid even for the work it did perform under the Contract. The jury's verdict on Cuker's contract claim is supported by sufficient evidence.
Cuker argued at trial that Walmart was unjustly enriched by Cuker's provision of additional templates to Walmart that were not required under the Contract. The jury found for Cuker on its claim of unjust enrichment. Walmart argues that this verdict should be reversed on the grounds that it was not supported by sufficient evidence at trial.
The Court held very early in this case that although in general "a claim for unjust enrichment cannot stand where the parties have a contractual relationship on the same subject matter, " there is an exception that permits claims for unjust enrichment where "disputed performance" under a contract "is compelled under protest." See Doc. 23, p. 4 (quoting QHG of Springdale, Inc. v. Archer, 2009 Ark.App. 692, at *11). Walmart argues that there was insufficient evidence at trial that Cuker protested, see Doc. 501, pp. 75- 78, and insufficient evidence at trial that Cuker's performance was compelled, see Id. at 78-82. The Court disagrees with both of these contentions. As was already discussed in the preceding Section, Cuker introduced evidence that as early as February 2014, it was already objecting to requests from Walmart for a large number of wireframes on the grounds that they exceeded the scope of the Contract, but seeing these objections met with threats to withhold approvals (and therefore payments). This evidence, in combination with testimony that was provided about Cuker's precarious financial position during the term of the Contract, see, e.g., Doc. 407, pp. 205-06, is sufficient to support a finding that Cuker protested "early and often, " see QHG, 2009 Ark.App. 692, at *11, and that Walmart nevertheless exploited Cuker's financial vulnerability to compel Cuker to perform work outside the scope of the Contract.
Walmart emphasizes that Cuker waited six weeks after it had completed the additional templates on June 2 before providing them to Walmart on July 17 on the advice of its lawyer, and argues that this shows Cuker was not operating under any compulsion to turn the templates over. See Doc. 501, pp. 80-81. Cuker introduced an email showing that as of June 1, it hoped to separate its in-scope work from its out-of-scope work before making its final delivery to Walmart. See Defendant's Exhibit 247. But Mr. Baer testified that after roughly a week of attempting to do this, he concluded that the in-scope and out-of-scope templates had become effectively inseparable. See Doc. 411, pp. 161-62. And Mr. Cuker testified that Walmart was refusing to pay any additional compensation for Cuker's out-of-scope work. See Doc. 407, p. 255. If the jury credited all of this testimony, then a natural inference from it would be that after June 2, Cuker had to choose between failing to deliver what it had contracted to deliver, or delivering far more than it had contracted to deliver at the risk of never being paid for the additional work it had already performed under Walmart's compulsion. A jury could easily conclude from these circumstances that Walmart's enormous leverage over Cuker, and Cuker's perception of it, was as stark on July 17 as it was on June 2, and that the delay before the final code drop simply proved that Cuker was facing a very difficult decision rather than that Cuker was not under compulsion.
In addition to its arguments about protest and compulsion, Walmart contends that Cuker's theory of damages from unjust enrichment was "premised on speculative and unsupported expert opinions." See Doc. 501, p. 109. The theory of unjust enrichment damages that Cuker's expert, Patrick Kennedy, presented to the jury, was premised on the notion that damages could be calculated on a per-template basis. See Doc. 416, pp. 251-53. Walmart previously filed a Daubert motion seeking exclusion of Dr. Kennedy's opinions on unjust enrichment damages, similarly arguing that they were speculative and unsupported; the Court rejected Walmart's arguments then, and ruled that Dr. Kennedy would be permitted to present this theory to the jury, because Walmart's criticisms of his per-template calculations went to weight rather than admissibility. See Doc. 173. Walmart's Rule 50(b) motion essentially reformulates those arguments which the Court previously rejected, arguing that Dr. Kennedy lacked a foundation for treating the Contract price as a function of the number of templates in its scope of work, and that he "cherry-picked" a comparator contract against which to test the reasonableness of his per-template price estimate. The Court rejects these arguments now for the same reasons it did before. See id.
Walmart also argues, as it previously did in its Daubert motion, that Cuker is not entitled to any damages for unjust enrichment because the Contract required "any fees exceeding $577, 719, not including travel and expense fees" to be "pre-approved in writing by Walmart in the form of a Project Change Request per the Agreement." See Doc. 501, p. 111. But in the Court's view, this argument misses the point. Of course, as the Court has already observed several times throughout this case, the general rule is that "[w]here the parties have an enforceable contract that fully addresses a subject, they must proceed on that contract in resolving their differences, " but again, we are dealing here with an exception to this rule that applies where "disputed performance is compelled under protest." See QHG, 2009 Ark.App. 692, at *11. The jury found that this is exactly what happened here, and for the reasons given above, there was a sufficient evidentiary basis for this finding. The Court does not see what sense it would make to find that a contract precludes damages for unjust enrichment under the very circumstances where the law states a contract should be trumped by the concerns of "equity and good conscience." See Id. at *13. The jury's verdict on Cuker's claim for unjust enrichment will stand.
Cuker brought claims against Walmart for misappropriation of trade secrets. The jury was presented with verdict forms regarding four separate alleged trade secrets: (1) a "Phased Release Support Technique"; (2) the "CMS Tweak Development Tool"; (3) "Adobe Illustrator Source Files for Wireframes and Adobe Photoshop Source Files for Designs" (collectively, "Adobe Source Files"); and (4) "Zoning Tools." The jury found that Walmart misappropriated all four of these trade secrets, and that Walmart did so willfully and maliciously with respect to each of them except the CMS Tweak Development Tool. The jury awarded Cuker a total of $12, 008, 036 in damages on its trade secret claims, see Doc. 444, pp. 9-12, but the Court subsequently reduced that award to $9, 766, 436, pursuant to the Contract's limitation-of-liability clause, see Doc. 483, p. 9.
Walmart now advances a large variety of theories under which it contends the jury's trade secrets verdict should be reversed. However, the vast majority of these arguments need not be reached in this Opinion and Order, because one of them is dispositive with respect to three of Cuker's alleged trade secrets. Specifically, the Court agrees with Walmart that there is insufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that Cuker's Phased Release Support Technique, CMS Tweak Development Tool, and Zoning Tools meet the statutory definition of "trade secret" under Arkansas law. In the first subsection below, the Court will discuss those three alleged trade secrets. Then in the second subsection below, the Court will turn to Cuker's Adobe Source Files, which present rather more complicated issues.
Ark. Code Ann. § 4-75-601(4). For each of three alleged trade secrets, there is insufficient evidence that it was the subject of reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.
With respect to the Phased Release Support Technique and Zoning Tools, there was unrebutted evidence at trial that as early as February 14, 2014, Cuker was telling Walmart that Cuker would provide Walmart with "phased release support" and "zoning" as "key component[s]" of its technical approach. See Plaintiff's Exhibit 200, pp. 1, 7-8. There was also unrebutted evidence that Walmart and Cuker both understood that the code Cuker would provide to Walmart would be for the front end of the ASDA website. See Doc. 411, pp. 46-47. And there is no evidence in the record that Cuker ever "clearly identif[ied]" its Phased Release Support Technique and Zoning Tools as "information it considered to be a trade secret" at any time before this information was disclosed to Walmart. Tyson Foods, Inc. v. ConAgra, Inc., 349 Ark. 469, 483 (2002). The closest Cuker ever came to providing any such evidence was through testimony from Mr. Baer that when Hemanth Narayanan from Walmart "insist[ed]" to him in early February 2014 that the project would need phased release and zoning support from Cuker, Mr. Baer "was stunned" and "felt railroaded, " see Doc. 411, pp. 60, 65, 179-80. 228-29; similarly, Mr. Cuker testified that zoning tools were provided to Walmart "under protest, " see Doc. 407, pp. 47. But while this is evidence that Cuker believed these items were outside the contractual scope of work, it is not evidence that Cuker told Walmart that it considered this information to be secret, or that Walmart had any reason to believe it was secret. Thus, there is insufficient evidence to support a finding that Cuker's Phased Release Support Technique and Zoning Tools "reasonably should [have been] considered confidential" by Walmart "under the circumstances, " see Plaintiff's Exhibit 126, p. 2, § 4(b), since all indications to Walmart from Cuker as of February 14 were that the code for these things would soon be located on the front end of the ASDA website for all the world to see. See, e.g., Doc. 411, pp. 70-73, 76, 105-06, 186-87 (testimony from Mr. Baer about his ability to find and read Cuker-authored code today on the ASDA website by simply visiting it with an internet browser).
Cuker's claim for its CMS Tweak Development Tool suffers from a similar deficiency. Cuker provided unrebutted testimony through Mr. Baer that this tool was "created . . . for this Wal-Mart project at the beginning of the project when we didn't have a development environment, " and that in creating it, Cuker relied on its extensive experience and know-how acquired from creating development environments on prior projects for other clients. See Doc. 411, pp. 77-78, 81-82. Mr. Baer testified that prior to Cuker's April 8 code drop, in the middle of an ongoing dispute about the scope of work under the contract, Cuker was "getting a lot of pressure to give [Walmart] the code" and Walmart was telling Cuker that it did not trust that Cuker was making adequate progress. See Id. at 84. As Walmart did not have a working development environment when Cuker delivered its April 8 code drop, Cuker provided the CMS Tweak Development Tool because "the only way to get them to see that we were making progress at that time was to give them our development environment that we had created." See Id. But there was no evidence at trial that Cuker ever told Walmart that it considered this tool to be confidential or proprietary, or that it did not want Walmart to use it or share it with others.
Therefore, there was insufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that Cuker undertook reasonable efforts to maintain the secrecy of its Phased Release Support Technique, CMS Tweak Development Tool, and Zoning Tools as required by Ark. Code Ann. § 4-75-601(4)(B). The jury's verdict will be reversed as to those three alleged trade secrets. The Court will turn now to the last remaining alleged trade secret: Cuker's Adobe Source Files.
Unlike the other three alleged trade secrets, there was sufficient evidence at trial to support the jury's finding that Cuker's Adobe Source Files met the statutory definition of "trade secret." Mr. Cuker testified that the Adobe Source Files contained information that predated the Walmart Contract and that was developed internally over a period of years through trial-and-error, see Doc. 407, pp. 228-29, that this information included Cuker's internally-developed methods for optimizing layouts, constructing responsive web pages, and simultaneously pushing changes across multiple responsive files, see Id. at 246-47, that this information provided Cuker its "competitive advantage in the market, " see id., and that Cuker never turns its Adobe Source Files over to clients, see Id. at 267. Mr. Cuker also testified that Walmart repeatedly asked him for them and that he repeatedly told Walmart "no, " see Id. at 266-67, and this testimony was corroborated by Walmart's own witness, Alex Alexander, see Doc. 409, p. 132. Walmart's internal emails show that as early as March 6, before Walmart had even made its first request for Cuker's Adobe Source Files, Walmart intended to manufacture an excuse for requesting them in anticipation of the fact that Cuker would consider such a request "irregular." See Defendant's Exhibit 485, p. 1 ("We always download a copy of all UX deliverables, so we have the wireframe review docs anyway. We don't however have source files so wouldn't be able to edit these easily. Are you expecting us to ask for these? It could seem a little irregular but I'm sure I could phrase it that the team here need to start working on pages and flows that Cuker will not be covering." (emphasis added)). And subsequent internal emails show that Walmart had concerns about the appropriateness of requesting Cuker's Adobe Source Files. See, e.g., Defendants' Exhibit 85, p. 1 ("We [Walmart] don't have the source files for wireframes yet . . . due to the tensions [I] didn't feel it was an appropriate request by email." (emphasis added)). Indeed, when asked if source files are "a typical request" by clients, Mr. Cuker replied "[a]bsolutely not, " and testified that he could not recall any other customers of his having ever requested them. See Doc. 407, p. 233. And Cuker's damages expert, Chuck Easttom, testified that in his experience working with design firms, when clients request source files such requests are "normally pretty firmly rejected." See Doc. 413, pp. 258-59. The jury could reasonably infer from all of this that Walmart reasonably believed Cuker's Adobe Source Files contained confidential materials and trade secrets.

Q: Placing Bounds on Correlation/Covariance Through Correlation with an Intermediate Variable I am trying to make the most of computations that have already been performed in previous steps of an algorithm. Throughout this problem statement I am only mentioning correlation, but I think it is essentially an equivalent question if I replace "correlation" with "covariance".
Suppose I have samples of three random variables $X_1$, $X_2$, and $X_3$ (each a column vector of dimensions $(n, 1)$). If I have already computed 2 correlations $c_{1, 2} = cor(X_1, X_2)$ and $c_{1, 3} = cor(X_1, X_3)$, what can I say about the remaining correlation $c_{2, 3} = cor(X_2, X_3)$? It seems like I should be able to place upper and lower bounds $c_{2, 3}$.
One possible example is that if there is high positive correlation between $X_1$ and $X_2$ and also between $X_1$ and $X_3$, then I'd like to show that there must be a reasonably strong positive correlation between $X_2$ and $X_3$ (by computing the bounds ($b_1$ and $b_2$):
$c_{1, 2} = 0.99$
$c_{1, 3} = 0.99$
$b_1 \le c_{2, 3} \le b_2$
The information I have available about $X_1$, $X_2$ and $X_3$ is there sum and sum of squares: $\sum_j x_{i, j} \\ \\ i \in {1, 2, 3}$ $\\ \\ \\ $ $\sum_j x_{i, j}^2 \\ \\ i \in {1, 2, 3}$. Based on those values I can calculate the mean and variance of $X_1, X_2, X_3$.
I also have the sum of the products of the pairs $X_1, X_2$ and $X_1, X_3$: $\sum_j x_{1, j} \cdot x_{2, j}$ $\\ \\ \\ $ $\sum_j x_{1, j} \cdot x_{3, j}$. Based on those values and the means and variances I can calculate $c_{1, 2}, c_{1, 3}$
Specifically I do not have: $\sum_j x_{2, j} \cdot x_{3, j}$, which would allow me to calculate $c_{2, 3}$.
I use this equation to calculate the correlations (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_dependence>Wikipedia):
$cor(a, b) = \dfrac{n\sum {a_i b_i} - \sum {a_i} \sum {b_i}}{\sqrt{n\sum{a_i^2} - (\sum{a_i})^2}\sqrt{n\sum{b_i^2} - (\sum {b_i})^2}}$
Thanks in advance for your insight!

Floating solar farm reflects China's clean energy ambitions

BEIJING: As the United States was withdrawing from the Paris climate pact, China's clean energy ambitions were being reflected in the launch of the world's largest floating solar farm.
The 40-megawatt power plant has 160,000 panels resting on a lake that emerged after the collapse of a coal mine in central Anhui province.
It is part of Beijing's effort to wean itself off a fossil fuel dependency that has made it the world's top carbon emitter, with two-thirds of its electricity still fuelled by coal.
The solar facility went online around the time of US President Donald Trump's much-criticised June 2 decision to withdraw from the international accord aimed at saving the planet from climate change catastrophe.
His move shifted the spotlight onto China and whether it will take on the leadership mantle in the global warming fight.
Days after his announcement - and by coincidence - Beijing hosted an international conference on clean energy.

It was an opportunity for China, which already produces two-thirds of the world's solar panels, to boast of its commitment to accelerating investment and reforms for greater use of renewable energies.
"The US' withdrawal from the Paris agreement offers China an unprecedented opportunity to take the lead in climate change," energy expert Frank Yu of Wood Mackenzie consultancy told AFP.
LARGEST INVESTOR
China has been the world's largest investor in clean energy since 2012, spending US$88 billion (S$122 billion) on wind and solar power last year, according to Bloomberg News.
Its solar capacity more than doubled in 2016.
The official goal is for 20 per cent of Chinese power consumption to come from low-emission energy, including nuclear, by 2030, compared to 11 per cent currently.
With the US out of the Paris pact, China has signalled its readiness to deal with US local governments to advance its climate agenda. - AFP

Radio Mercury began broadcasting to Surrey and West Sussex in the UK on the 20th October 1984. The station broadcast from studios at Broadfield House, Crawley on 1521 kHz (197 metres) MW and 103.6 FM (97.5 FM in Horsham). The first presenter on air was Ed Stewart. Other early presenters included Tony Myatt, Geoff Aspel (Michael's brother), Peter Young, Pat Sharp, Howard Pearce and Russ Williams.
Radio Mercury and Southern Sound shared some of their programmes during the early days including the Timbo Show in the evenings. This was a madcap show aimed mainly at young teenagers but was listened to by all ages! Timbo (Tim Lloyd) alternated presenting the show for about six months at a time swapping from Southern Sound to Mercury. He continued doing that for a few years before helping with the launch of BBC Essex. The commercial breaks on each station never lasted the same amount of time so at the end of the breaks, three different pieces of fill-in music were used to prevent a deadly silence being heard. These can be heard on our Audio file page as well as Timbo's own jingles done by various people including the Back Room Boys in Brighton. And who can forget the sound effects for the quiz questions. Does the "Screaming Loo" ring any bells? Click here to see the Timbo Poster.
The original Mercury logo includes a small man running along and whistling. He was known as the Mercury Man and featured as one of the early competitions where you could win a prize if you spotted him out and about town.
Towards the end of 1985 a plan to group ILR stations together and BBC local stations together meant a change in the FM frequency. Mercury moved from 103.6 to 102.7 FM.
In 1990, Radio Mercury invested heavily in A.I.R. (Airport Information Radio). This was an AM station providing Flight & Travel News for passengers arriving by car at London's Heathrow & Gatwick Airports. The station didn't last for very long as it suffered from a lack of advertising and audience figures gauged inaccurately. For more information on A.I.R. please click here.
On Radio Mercury, some of the original jingles were used along side some new "Your Kind of Music" cuts during the early 1990's when they joined with County Sound (Guildford). See our County Sound info page for more details. At this time Mercury's AM service became County Sound Radio with TM Century jingles.
Click below for the County Sound/Radio Mercury launch leaflets.
Click below for a programme guide from around the same time.
In 1995 the County Sound name was dropped to form Mercury Extra. Radio Mercury on FM finally stopped using the David Arnold theme and both AM and FM services had Jam jingles with the Alfasound singers. Mercury on 102.7 became Mercury FM.
Mercury became part of the Daily Mail Group in the late 90's and Mercury Extra on AM became Breeze. The group also took ownership of KFM in Tonbridge and re-branded it as Mercury FM (which was then sold to the Kent Messenger Group and became KMFM).
The Essex Radio Group itself was taken over by GWR. Mercury FM became a "Today's Better Music Mix" station. Breeze became Classic Gold Digital Breeze 1521. Some time later the AM service closed completely due to low listening figures although it continues as Gold Radio on other frequencies around the country.
In May 2005 the Capital Radio Group and the GWR Group merged to form GCap Media. Global Radio was formed and bought Chrysalis Radio. Then in 2008 it bought GCap Media and since then then GMG Radio (in 2012). The station kept the Mercury name until the 25th of July 2010. The transmitters then carried programmes from Heart in Brighton (formally Southern FM) with local adverts for the Crawley/Reigate area.

Foods high in anti-inflammatory activity go a long way in curbing eczema development and one of those is fatty fish such as herring and salmon. Omega-3-fatty acids, with appreciable contents in fish oil, have been widely touted a good remedy and thus consuming these fatty fish will come in handy in remedying the unsightly eczema conditions of a dry and itchy skin.
A plant derived flavonoid, Quercetin is a strong antioxidant and also possesses anti-histamine activities, thus able to deter progress of inflammatory conditions synonymous with eczema in the body. Consuming Quercetin containing foods such as spinach, apples, blueberries, cherries, kale and broccoli is thus vital in preventing a dry and itchy skin of eczema.
Yoghurts and similar probiotic foods contain live microorganisms that help in boosting immunocompetence, a feature which has been related to inhibit allergic reactions and inflammations that could consequently cause eczema. Other probiotic foods are kefir, naturally fermented pickles, soft cheeses and sourdough bread.
Foods containing high amounts of preservatives, trans fats and other chemicals should be avoided as they could deteriorate symptoms and facilitate dry, itchy skins. These include fast foods, margarine and processed foods of all kinds.
Insulin levels are heightened with more sugar and this triggers inflammation afterwards, thus, these food products which include burgers, cakes, coffee drinks and sodas are better absconded.
Since eczema is inflammation facilitated, substituting your diet for anti-inflammatory foods is thus a necessity for persistent eczema sufferers. The emphasis here is on foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, omega-3-rich fish and healthy fats like olive oil.
