Ferrari Facts At The Marconi Auto Museum & OC Event Venue
Marconi Museum
[column width="1/1″ last="true" title=" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"]
Now, I know you might have been expecting a 'On This Day In History' post, but ironically, today is the day automobile safety activist Ralph Nader testified in front of Congress. But we all just read about Ralph Nader, so how about we do a "Did You Know Ferrari ___ " instead. The Marconi Automotive Museum and Foundation for Kids houses quite a few Ferraris from the Italian Stallion, but how much do you know actually know about the creator? Let's do a list, because we all like those kind of blog posts. Ferrari Fun Facts: – Abu Dhabi has a theme park dedicated to the Ferrari brand. A F1 rollercoaster included. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAz54LLCDEs – When somebody is in the market to buy a Ferrari they can customize every cubic inch of the vehicle. – Enzo Ferrari was excluded from World War II because both his father and brother didn't survive it. – Ferrari's headquarters and "Museo Ferrari' is in Maranello, Italy.
Museo Ferrari (trazeetravel.com)
– Ferrari only had one son, Alfredino (Dino), and he died of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in 1956 at the young age of 24. Enzo reportedly went to his son's grave site daily.
Dino Ferrari (ferrariownersclub.net)
– The most expensive Ferrari is the 250GTO, which went for a rumored $15 million.
250GTO (telegraph.uk.co)
– Ferrari's logo (the prancing horse) is a gesture toward a Italian Flying Ace from WWI. – WWII delayed the launch of the first Ferrari because Allied forces bombed the factory in 1944 and then again in 1945. It took Ferrari two more years to debut the V12 125 S in March of 1947. – Enzo developed a character trait involving sunglasses. He would wear them for interviews and indoors. – "Ferrari Red" wasn't chosen by Enzo. In the early years of auto racing, the color was assigned to Italian drivers by the International Automobile Federation. Nevertheless almost %50 of Ferraris purchased are Rosso Scuderia (Ferrari Red). – It's rumored only 14 Ferrari vehicles have been totaled out of the original 400 made by Enzo. – The 166 Ferrari is considered the ugliest Ferrari ever made — it was given Abbott coachwork in 1954. So, how did you do? I'm sure you knew most of them 😉 [/column]

Exclusives , Israel
Sam Lurie '19
In Donald Trump's controversial campaign for the Presidency, he has managed to ruffle a large number of feathers and, recently, the State of Israel itself.
The ordeal started on December 7, 2015, when the Republican presidential candidate responded to the San Bernardino shootings by calling for a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, which led to much debate and controversy.
When asked to describe their opinions on Trump, GOA students responded with a barrage of name calling, most of which cannot be printed. Some of the less harsh descriptions of Trump and his plan were: "idiotic," "dumb," "ridiculous," "insane," "out of control" and "anti-muslim."
The Israeli government appears to somewhat agree with the GOA students, although expressed their opinion more appropriately.
In reaction to Trump's comments, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office put out a statement saying, "Prime Minister Netanyahu rejects Donald Trump's recent remarks about Muslims. The State of Israel respects all religions and strictly guarantees the rights of all its citizens."
Prior to this, Trump had announced that he was planning a trip to Israel and meeting with Netanyahu on December 28. Netanyahu had stated that he would meet with any candidate for president who visited Israel.
After Trump's Muslim remarks, many members of Knesset urged a cancellation of the meeting, believing that hosting Trump painted a bad picture for the country and would worsen the current situation of stabbings and other terrorist acts.
Nevertheless, Netanyahu kept his promise and did not change his schedule. On December 10, however, Trump made another announcement on Twitter. stating he had "decided to postpone [his] trip to Israel and to schedule [his] meeting with @Netanyahu at a later date after I become President of the U.S."
In an interview on Fox News the day of his cancellation, Trump defended his decision saying that he decided to postpone the trip as to not put Netanyahu under pressure and to stay in America to work on his campaign.
Unconvinced, media such as The Washington Post and CNN have accused Trump of cancelling as a response to Netanyahu's statement on his Muslim ban.
When questioned on what he believes to be Trump's motives for postponing the trip, freshman David Wingens said that Trump's defense was probably partially true, but that, "there must be a connection to the statement from Bibi."
Wingens went on to speak about his concern for the American-Israel relationship if Trump is elected.
"Israel's large Muslim population and location geographically makes it so that Trump's Islamophobia cannot be accepted," he said. "If Trump is elected, the [American-Israeli] relationship will suffer."

For students at GOA, where learning Judaics and Hebrew alongside secular classes is an everyday occurrence, it might be a surprise that the Jewish state of Israel does not require many Jewish subjects in the state school curriculum.
Most students in the Israeli school system go to a secular state school or a religious state school and each school must follow a basic curriculum for secular subjects. Schools can add additional classes after meeting the curriculum standards, but this means students leave each school with two very different levels of Jewish knowledge.
Before coming to GOA as rishonim, Dotan Miller and Gili Shtibelman, both 18, graduated from secular state schools. Both felt content with the current system and with the education they received.
"I love that everyone has the option to choose what [type of school] they want," said Shtibelman.
Miller also agreed, and said it is good to have a system where students can choose what suits their beliefs.
Rabbi Kallush, Director of Israel programming at GOA, also emphasized the importance of having different environments to host people's ideals and expectations.
However, Kallush, who attended a religious state school, also has some concerns. She studied Judaism in a traditional and rigid setting, while Shtibelman and Miller were exposed to a limited, but more controversial view of Judaism.
She said that students in the system don't learn half of the knowledge they should know about Judaism or the world and the system "raises ignorant kids."
Freshman Theo Deitz-Green also voiced some concerns about the system's format.
"Israel's public school system is good if you want a complete focus on Judaism or no focus on Judaism at all, but it lacks a middle ground," he said.
It seems that even in the Jewish state, Israeli students do not feel worried about their Jewish education, and are happy to have a choice in what they learn.
For Miller, it's a simple choice of preference between two schools. However, others such as Kallush have some hesitation about the harsh division found in Israeli state schools.
It is important for Israel's schools to find the balance between a Jewish and secular education, while still giving students a comfortable environment for their needs. Until then, Israeli students from each school will live with two separate understandings of their Judaism and what it means to be Jewish in the Jewish state.

Women might never be viewed as equals to men and the reason is simple: social media.
While the only purpose women once had was tending to their homes and their families' needs, today's women are empowered; they own businesses, participate in sports and can be found employed in almost every occupation.
Considering that women practically have endless opportunities in many societies around the world, a great amount of progress has been made toward gender equality, yet inequality still persists. Between significantly lower salaries, opportunities and expectations women have than men, women have always lacked a certain respect that is inherently given to males.
This lack of respect is also manifested in social media usage. In addition to traditional media like magazines or music videos, applications such as Instagram and Snapchat constantly shame the female body. Girls are led to believe that they must reach a certain physical appearance, or else they will be inferior in society.
In most case scenarios involving celebrities or social figures, photo-editing software Adobe Photoshop is used to make women look flawless. This is planting an unrealistic thought in girls' heads that they must look the way that these successful models and actresses do.
Setting practically unattainable physical standards makes a vast majority of women feel insecure, therefore causing them to hold back from fulfilling their full potential in society.
Not only do these unrealistic physical standards hurt many individuals, they also enforce male dominance in a society. People are perpetuating the idea that women exist for the sole purpose of being physically admired, when in reality, they have potential to do everything that men do or more.
With this mindset, people will never be able to find equality between both genders. Until women have total respect from men, they can never have parallel roles in society. The only way to attain this respect is to stop demoting women to symbols or objects. Once the use of Photoshop to alter women's bodies is eliminated and by respectfully representing the females in the media, a huge step towards gender equality would be taken.

The government is responsible for the health of its people and must protect it to the best of its ability.
In April 2014, the city of Flint, Mich., began using water from the Flint River, rather than water purchased from Detroit, to save money. Flint had been under the control of the state due to an urgent financial situation when government officials appointed by Gov. Rick Snyder chose to use the Flint River. Regardless of who specifically chose to switch the water source, this decision led to disastrous conditions that will affect the people of Flint much more than any financial problems.
Soon after the switch, the people of Flint voiced concerns about the brown, foul-smelling water. For a year and a half, the citizens of Flint used this contaminated water. Meanwhile, government officials announced that it was safe for consumption, while ignoring the people's many complaints. Finally, in October 2015, the government announced that the water was unsafe, but it was already too late.
The water from the Flint River contains high levels of lead, which leaches into the water from the pipes. Even a small amount of lead is toxic and prolonged exposure only exacerbates the problem.
Lead poisoning severely affects brain development in young children and can cause many other lifelong neurological issues. These problems are irreversible, yet they are entirely preventable and will persist throughout the lives of children with lead poisoning.
Although the water source has been switched, the water in Flint is still unusable. It has now been almost two years since this crisis began and no solution will be good enough to undo the damage that has occurred.
Government officials are responsible for protecting public health. They have been elected by the citizens and are expected to improve their lives, rather than damage them.
The effects of the crisis in Flint will continue to hurt its population for years to come. The government needs to be proactive in protecting the health of the people and water contamination is an unacceptable issue for our country today.
The children of Flint will grow up, but they will always feel the effects of lead poisoning. The government needs to place the health of our nation and our nation's children first.
Flint is just one example of this problem, but it is occurring in many cities across the nation. We cannot allow the government to knowingly provide the people with contaminated water and should make sure our government takes responsibility for the health of the people and the future adults of America.
The government is responsible for the public health and must consider it as one of the most important factors in its decisions. Our country cannot make progress if the government does not supply the people with the resources they need for their health. The government needs to take responsibility now for the health of America and its future.
Iowa and New Hampshire Primaries Highlight Clinton and Sanders
Alissa Lampert '18
As the 2016 presidential election is quickly approaching, candidates are using many tactics to draw voters over to their side.
The most recent democratic debate took place on January 17, between Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley before the Iowa Caucus.
The night's focus was to give the candidates one last shot at explaining their plans, reforms and hopes if they were to become president. Taking place just weeks before the first caucus, this debate was mostly Sanders and Clinton trying to prove themselves through heated arguments, while O'Malley was seen as a sideshow and had to fight just for time to speak.
Voters kept this debate in mind on February 1, the day of the Iowa Primaries. A night filled with campaigning and trying to convince voters to join sides, the Iowa Caucus is the first view of the nation's political stance.
The night ended with a tie between Sanders and Clinton, while O'Malley made the decision to drop out of the race entirely. While Sanders and Clinton were fighting to gain the upper hand, O'Malley was struggling to gain even a percent of the voters, so he thanked his supporters and left. This forced the few remaining O'Malley supporters to pick between Sanders and Clinton.
After many hours, the officiators decided to break the tie with a coin toss. Clinton won the toss and was declared victor.
However, this unexpected tie in Iowa showed how drastically voters' stances can change over just a few months. When Sanders entered the race towards the end of May, he was losing to Clinton by almost 50 points; however, at the first set of primaries, he was neck-and-neck with Clinton.
The New Hampshire primaries further exemplified this, as Sanders held a 22 percent gain over Clinton when the primaries finished.
Sanders' gain on Clinton coupled with O'Malley's dropout gives the Democratic side of this election new perspective. As the primaries transpire, the feud between Sanders and Clinton will become more heated and voters will need to pick their favorite of the two strong contenders.

Recent extreme and unseasonable weather conditions have been affecting the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people in increasingly dramatic ways.
Not only does this bizarre weather instill a chronic underlying sense of panic in the hearts of average Americans, it also hurts the economy with billions of dollars in direct damages and untold sums in lost productivity and the disruption of daily life.
From severe flooding and frequent hurricanes to record-high temperatures and intense droughts, the weather has become less familiar and predictable since the beginning of modern weather recordkeeping. This level of unpredictability has lead to weakened economies, damaged infrastructure and a surplus of fatalities. Scientists attribute these strange weather patterns to global climate change which holds devastating consequences for the future of society.
Over the course of the last century, the global average temperature has risen more than 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Oceans are heating up and becoming more acidic, causing ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise dramatically. Greenhouse gas emissions stemming from the generation of energy, transportation industries and private households have all been labeled as causes of global warming.
"There is clear evidence that the earth is warming and there is clear evidence too that this is because of carbon and greenhouse emissions." said sophomore Jordan Mayor.
Mayor brought up the daunting statistic that over the past century, the Earth has been warming at a faster rate than at any other time in the past 11,300 years. Others attribute this warming to the cyclic patterns of Earth's climate.
"The earth's atmosphere is a complex system and to dial the whole earth's temperature to one number is unlikely to be accurate." added sophomore Elijah Taitel.
Taitel suggested that natural fluctuations of the Earth's atmosphere may be the biggest factor in climate change and is unsure whether human activity is the largest driver of global warming.
Regardless of these contradicting beliefs, it is agreed by both sides of the spectrum that there are temperatural changes occurring and that there could be a dangerous aftermath for everyone.
Global climate change also holds social consequences for Americans. There are basements that are flooded, businesses that are destroyed and families that become dislocated while their homes are swept away, like in the recent flooding of the Mississippi River.
Many Americans' reactions have demanded that the United States government is not only needed after a disaster, but also to help prevent future damage and protect lives via establishing more proactive policies.
Hopes were raised after the Paris climate talks, when the U.S. adopted its own goals in order to limit its greenhouse gas emissions and a plan for the future. Although, the future for climate issues in America is still unclear.
"For our own sake and our own happiness we should try and use cleaner more efficient energies," said Taitel. "Whether the scare is real or not, it is beneficial because it forces humans to become innovative and progressive."

New Years is a time in which people all across the world reflect on the events of the previous year and make resolutions about things they would like to change in the new year. Many consider the new year a fresh start and are open to admitting their faults in order to improve themselves and those around them.
President Barack Obama is no exception to this pattern of widespread honesty during the first few days of January 2016, which also happens to be the start to his last year in the White House.
As Obama reflected on political accomplishments and disappointments of 2015, as well as his presidency as a whole, he emphasized his great dissatisfaction on a topic that he described as the "biggest frustration" in office: the issue of gun violence.
In June 2013, Tumblr CEO David Karp conducted an interview with President Obama, who talked about the technicality of the issue. He explained that American citizens must respect the Second Amendment, and until society, including Congress, takes basic steps to do so, gun violence will not decrease in the slightest. Obama unhesitatingly pointed out the government's flawed approach to reforming gun accessibility.
"It's not even possible to get even the mildest restrictions through Congress, and we should be ashamed of that," he explained.
Obama discussed his opinions on the topic not only as a government official, but as a citizen who had been personally distressed by the many shootings. He was appalled by the amount of deaths in America caused by guns and how they had almost developed into a norm.
It has become common for news broadcasts to feature several homicides caused by a hand-held weapon and Obama made the point that there is no other advanced country in the world in which that would ever be a frequent occurrence. He stated that it was unacceptable that other countries had approached similar situations by passing very strict reforms on gun accessibility, yet America had somehow failed to do the same.
"A couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that's it—we're not seeing that again. And basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws," Obama said. "And they haven't had a mass shooting since."
Two and a half years later, Obama has implemented new executive actions in hopes to reduce gun violence and make our country a safer place to live in. More than 100,000 people have been killed due to gun violence in the last decade and Obama has stressed the fact that congress must begin to take new steps to acknowledge and act upon the countless amount of tragedies that could have been prevented if some of these laws had been implemented.
While Obama insists that passing these reforms may change the extensive amount of gun violence in the country, many people believe that it will either have little impact on the situation or create greater conflict among citizens that believe they should have the right to attain a gun.
Citizens throughout the country have voiced their opinions on the matter, including students in the GOA community.
Because most teens are frightened by how easily people can attain a weapon, many believe that the ideas of the President's reforms are admirable and reassuring. While this is true for most people, many also agree that these executive actions are practically insignificant until Congress decides they are important enough to act upon.
"While guns are too accessible for American citizens, in order for Obama's new reforms to make a significant impact in our society, Congress would have to pass all of the executive reforms, which they will most likely not be willing to do," said sophomore Faye Hochberg.
She added a point in which many American citizens, as well as students in our community, feel very passionate about.
"Hopefully within time these new reforms will take action and make America a safer place."

There are many reasons to be proud of New Jersey. The Garden State is filled with great people, delicious food, top-notch schools, tons of entertainment and so much more. Like any other situation, however, there are problems; problems that continue despite negative media attention, protests and other maneuvers to attempt to prevent them.
One of these issues to plague New Jersey is the controversy surrounding deer.
Some may wonder how there can be controversy over an innocent species that mind their own business. That is a valid question, but it has gone virtually ignored among those in charge. In the South Mountain reservation, located in Millburn, Maplewood and West Orange, the towns have been organizing "Deer Hunts" to dwindle down the amount of deer in the town and the surrounding areas.
The proponents of the Deer Hunts claim that there are too many deer in the reservation and that the natural deer predators no longer exist in local reservations. They claim that the deer kill off too many small animals, cause car accidents and create problems for the growth of vegetation in the reservation.
Essex County consultant Dan Bernier said that environmental and ecological concerns are the main reason for the Essex County Deer Management program. Bernier addressed the issue during a January 19 press conference in West Orange.
"It is not to provide recreation for hunting," he said, "but rather curtail overbrowsing of native vegetation and allow forest restoration."
From 2008 to 2014, 1,670 deer were "removed" from the Reservation. Although the authorities use the euphemism "removed, what they are referring to is that deer are being shot by hunters. The hunters position themselves in trees 20 feet above the ground and shoot down at the deer.
There are many people who are against the deer hunts and feel that it is cruel.
"There should definitely not be deer hunts in New Jersey," said sophomore Jessie Ruchman. "Deer are already commonly dying because of getting hit by cars, not having a home and not being able to find food, so killing them would be completely unnecessary as well as immensely inhumane."
Like Ruchman, fellow sophomore Rachel Bonder is opposed to any purposeful animal killing.
"Killing for sport is disgusting," Bonder said. "You can shoot other things without ending someone's life."
Sophomore Iris Berman echoed these sentiments.
"This brutality is unacceptable," she said, and added there is a kinder gentler way to cull the deer population.
Animal rights groups opposed to culling deer by hunting propose alternate solutions to deer slaughter including injecting them with contraceptives, sterilization and possible transportation or relocation to other areas. These groups state that studies suggest that deer response to a cull is increased fertility with the deer producing more twins and triplets with a greater birth rate of female fawns which will obviously lead to a higher deer birthrate in the long term.
This controversy has been going on in Essex County and across the state for many years and it will most likely continue as both sides have valid arguments.

In 1964 audiences lined up to see "Fiddler on the Roof," a then-new Broadway show about about a Jewish family living in the fictional shtetl of Anatevka in Imperial Russia. As well as being the 16th longest-running show in Broadway history, the music from the show became well-known and performances sprung up in community theaters across the country.
There have been four revivals of "Fiddler on the Roof," as well as a highly-successful film in 1971. Now, "Fiddler" is back on Broadway to the delight of fans everywhere.
But how close to the movie is this new revival? Is it bringing something new?
Most critics agreed that the third revival, in 2004, was a complete disaster. News source amNew York says that the joyfulness and Jewishness was sucked out of this production. This, however, is not a problem in the new production. The new revival is full of catchy lyrics, fun ensemble numbers and does not take away the Jewish aspect of the story.
The new show is very successful in keeping the Jewish traditions of the movie alive and even adds to them. The show opens with the actor who plays Tevye dressed in modern clothing. There is a sign looming above him that says "Anatevka," but the town itself isn't there. The man seems to be a descendant of Tevye, or another townsperson, who is attempting to retrace his ancestry. The actor then unzips his jacket and his Tevye costume is revealed. The people of Anatevka join him on stage and perform the song "Tradition" with him.
This additional plot point, which merges two different generations together, adds to the Jewish aspect of the musical. It shows that we, as Jewish people, have faced many struggles, but we still remain. The scene implies that the descendants of Anatevka lasted through the many struggles that Jewish people in Russia faced throughout the years, such as pogroms and the Holocaust.
In this scene, the man from modern times is not wearing a Kippah, Tzitzit, or any form of Jewish attire. This minor detail shows that, although we respect the past, we need to accept that things cannot always stay the same and progress needs to happen. It shows that Jewish people can be found in many different forms and can observe Judaism differently.
Although the Jewish themes are prevalent, the show also manages to entertain the younger audiences by modernizing certain scenes. For example, Tzeitel and Motel sneak away to passionately kiss at their wedding. Also, the Fiddler himself flies above the stage, delighting young children in the crowd.
The choreography is very entertaining as well, with a different dance style for the mothers, father, sons and daughters in the show. Hofesh Schecter, an Israeli modern dancer, choreographed this revival and makes sure to set her version apart from past incarnations while still preserving audience favorites.
Schecter, for instance, keeps the traditions of the old choreographers of both the movie and the play when creating the bottle dance for Tzeitel and Motel's wedding. In this dance, the men in the wedding twirl, sway and perform other moves while keeping a wine bottle steady on their heads. This dance is a staple of the movie and keeping it in this revival was definitely a smart move.
The new revival of "Fiddler on the Roof" does not differ as extremely from the movie, or from previous revivals, as one might expect. It keeps the main plot points and dances, the actors portray the characters similarly to the ones in the movie and the Jewish theme also remains.
The few differences between the movie and Broadway show are only prevalent in the new opening scene and the few more modern scenes and dance choices. This revival does an incredible job of keeping the roots of the movie, while still changing and progressing.
Review: Rihanna's "Anti" Doesn't Live Up To Expectations
Ari Denlow '18
It's been four years since the world has heard new music from Rihanna.
Every year from 2005 to 2012, Rihanna had either released or re-released an album. In this four-year gap, Rihanna has made some notable changes to her career. She left Def Jam Records and signed a new recording contract with Jay Z's Roc Nation, created her own label, Westbury Road, signed a $25 million sponsorship deal with Samsung and controversially canceled her performance at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to focus on the Samsung-sponsored "ANTIdiaRy" promotion.
In October 2015, Rihanna revealed the "Anti" album cover art, created by Israeli artist Roy Nachum. The album art features a young Rihanna painted in red, black and white with a gold crown on her head. Over the painting, the poem "If They Let Us" by Chloe Mitchell is written in braille.
Beginning in late 2013, Rihanna teased fans with snippets of songs on Snapchat and Instagram with the caption "#r8." In December 2014, Rihanna surprised fans in Paris with a surprise listening session, which generated more hype around the album.
In 2015, the eight-time Grammy Award winner released three singles: "Four Five
Seconds" featuring Kanye West and Paul McCartney, "B***h Better Have My Money" and "American Oxygen," none of which were included on the album.
As a whole, "Anti" is Rihanna's most cohesive album to date. It is raw, filled with emotion and is a step in a new direction from her previous releases. It has darker themes and the lyrics deal mostly with how love is a challenge and her self-confidence.
There are two collaborations on this album, with SZA and Drake, respectively. Standout tracks include "Work" featuring Drake, "Kiss It Better," "Same Ol' Mistakes," "Needed Me" and "Love On the Brain."
On January 26, 2016, Rihanna released "Work" as the official lead single and the former couple's song debuted ninth on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at seventh. The song garnered mixed reviews from critics who complimented Drake's verse but did not like how Rihanna "mumbled" through the lyrics.
After leaking on music streaming service, Tidal, the full album was officially released on iTunes on January 29 and debuted at number 27 on the Billboard Hot 200. In its second week, the album topped the charts and went platinum – bolstered by the 25 million copies purchased by Samsung as part of her $25 million deal.
Not all reviews, however, have been kind. Jenna Wortham of the New York Times, for instance, described it as "the record you make when you don't need to sell records."
Perhaps some of the negativity around the album is due to Rihanna's experimentation with a new genre on this album. "Anti" is truly the album Rihanna wanted to make, however, it may not have been what everyone was hoping for.
As a whole "Anti" is a good album, however it does not live up to the expectations that this superstar has set for her fans. After producing such great hits in the past including, "Pon de Replay," "Umbrella," "What's My Name," "We Found Love" and "Stay", it is safe to say that we were hoping for more from her and we are looking forward to see what her next chapter will produce.

For the first time during the season of 2018 fans from Klaipėda were going home from "Atlantas" game with happy faces. Hard to believe – victory of port city team against the team of "Jonavos" 1:0 is the first on their home field in the Lithuanian championship of this year.
On Wednesday Algimantas Briaunys team were victorious after three losses and four games in a row that they failed to win.
Victorious goal was scored as soon as the game began, on the 2nd minute Anilas Kočas aimed well.
The first minute made the viewers tense, guests lifted two corner kicks one after another near "Atlantas" stronghold. But after repelling the attack of "Jonava", the hosts immediately counter-attacked, and after the pass of Edvinas Baniulis, A. Kočas kicked the ball into the net of players from Jonava.
After scoring the goal players from Klaipėda relinquished the initiative to the guests. Once again they lifted several corner kicks that were successfully defended by the port city team.
The second period started as if not the guests, but players from Klaipėda desperately needed to score a goal. The stronghold of "Jonava" and not of "Atlantas" was bombarded from various positions.
Players from Jonava were not dreaming as well, however neither they, nor soccer players from port city created any 100% chance during the entire period.
Just as it was expected, during the last minutes guests stormed the gates of players from Klaipėda, and the seaside team maintained disciplined defence and celebrated the victory.

Improved access to financial planning benefits low income class, finds study
Geoff Pacecca (Left) and Professor Chandra Krishnamurti (Right), UniSA
The high cost of financial planning services in Australia is preventing lower socio-economic groups from accessing advice that could greatly improve their financial security – particularly in retirement according to a new University of South Australia (UniSA) research shows.
Professor Chandra Krishnamurti and Lecturer in Financial Planning and Director of GAP Financial, Geoff Pacecca, thoroughly investigated the effect regulatory reform has had on the cost of providing financial advice and the impact this has had on lower income groups.
What were the findings of UniSA's study?
Of the lower income consumers who have never accessed financial advice, over 85% believe there is no value in doing so, with current costs of advice more than double what most people from this group are prepared to pay. "There is strong evidence from previous study that access to financial planning advice promotes self-sufficiency and improves financial wellbeing, leading to increased financial stability in retirement," Prof Krishnamurti says.
"Our study suggests that current costs of financial planning lock many people from lower socio-economic groups out of receiving advice, which reduces their financial wellbeing, places a greater burden on pension support, and may contribute to financial inequality in society."
The UniSA research study – which was funded by Magellan Asset Management, Centrepoint Alliance, the Financial Planning Association of Australia and the Financial Planning Education Council – suggests targeted policy support for financial planning could deliver significant benefits to lower income groups and improve efficiency in the financial advice industry.
How can access to financial advice be improved?
"Our study indicates three clear avenues for improving uptake of financial advice among lower socio-economic groups. These are: increasing awareness of the benefits, gov't rebates on advice fees, and a streamlined advice format for these groups," Prof Krishnamurti says.
Increasing awareness of the benefits
The first of these mechanisms, Pacecca says, requires shifting the perception that financial planning is just about helping rich people with 'wealth management'. As an example, he points to one of his clients, a retired plumber and his wife. "They have been clients for 11 years, and started with $179,000 in super. Their pension fund is now worth $232,000, even after the pension payments made over all that time – they cannot believe it," Pacecca commented.
"It was about adjusting the right levers for them at the right time, but these days it would be difficult for them to get financial advice. Examples like that demonstrate how financial planning can help people from all income groups to be more secure and comfortable, particularly in retirement, and we need to promote that message more widely," Pacecca said.
Government rebates
The second recommendation from the UniSA research report is the introduction of a government rebate for initial advice fees for low-income earners of retirement age.
"There was strong support – from both consumers and financial planners – for the idea of a gov't rebate for initial advice fees. If this rebate were targeted at consumers who are seeking retirement planning and superannuation advice, it could greatly improve the financial security of this group and reduce pressure on the age pension system," Prof Krishnamurti says.
Streamlined advice format
In addition to reducing costs for consumers, a third recommendation of the report suggests it would also be possible to reduce costs for advisors by developing a streamlined advice format tailored to delivering retirement and superannuation advice for low-income earners.
"It would be possible to reduce compliance time – and thus cost – for financial advice providers by establishing a short-form statement of advice format for retirement-age people from lower income groups who are seeking retirement planning advice," Mr Pacecca says.
"Many people from this group have relatively low levels of complexity in their financial advice needs, so a short-form approach would help reduce costs while delivering valuable advice."

Liverpool Biennial Announces Autumn Programme
Isabel Lewis will host an 'occasion' in Sefton Park Palm House in October
Liverpool Biennial has announced a programme of activity throughout September and October including a performative project, The Companion, the announcement of the John Moores Painting Prize winner and the opening of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014.
Liverpool Biennial is pleased to announce a performative project, taking place in spaces across the city from Friday 19 - Sunday 21 September. The Companion, in collaboration with artist and writer Angie Keefer, will form part of Biennial's overall exhibition reflecting on how artists disrupt the realms of habits and habitats, reconfiguring the objects, images, representations and activities that constitute their immediate surroundings.
The Companion performance weekend takes place at venues across the city including the Liverpool Philharmonic Dining Rooms, Merseyside Dance Initiative, The Kazimier and The Black-E. Performances include; Jeremiah Day's first presentation of a larger project tracing the legacy of the American Anti-Imperialist League, and its failure; Angie Keefer and James English Leary's durational performance The Screens, which will produce segments of Jean Genet's play of the same name; dancers and musicians stage works conceived by Oskar Schlemmer at the Bauhaus; and musical recitals including an evening of live music performances at The Kazimier.
Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2014
Saturday 20 September – Sunday 26 October
World Museum, Free
Bloomberg New Contemporaries has been an integral part of Liverpool Biennial since 1999 and under the new directorship of Kirsty Ogg, this year marks Bloomberg New Contemporaries' 65th anniversary. As the leading UK organisation for supporting emergent art practice from British art schools, New Contemporaries has consistently provided a critical platform for final year undergraduates, postgraduates and artists one year out of postgraduate study, primarily by means of an annual touring exhibition.
Participants were announced in May and as part of Liverpool Biennial 2014, the resulting national touring exhibition opens at the World Museum, National Museums Liverpool, 20 September 2014, offering a compelling picture of contemporary practice with the work of 55 artists on display.
John Moores Painting Prize
Saturday 5 July - Sunday 30 November
Walker Art Gallery, Free
The first-prize winner of the UK's best-known and longest-running painting competition will be announced on 19 September 2014 at the Walker Art Gallery.
50 artists were originally selected from more than 2,500 entrants with the shortlist of five prize winners announced on 5 July 2014; Rae Hicks, Juliette Losq, Mandy Payne, Alessandro Raho and Rose Wylie, from which one overall winner will be selected.
The 2014 judges are Tim Marlow, Director of Artistic Programmes at the Royal Academy and artists Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Zeng Fanzhi, Chantal Joffe and Tom Benson.
Isabel Lewis
Tuesday 30 September, 7-10pm
Sefton Park Palm House
This September, Liverpool Biennial welcomes artist Isabel Lewis who will host a unique event in the Palm House, Sefton Park. Continuing the theme of her current work, which takes the form of hosted "occasions" that are concerned with composition in the space of social encounter, Lewis' event will take the form of a party, at which Isabel will present her own work. Within the occasion hospitable conditions are generated for the mixing of modes from the sensual to the discursive. Similar perhaps to the ancient Greek symposium, or "drinking party", the occasion is a celebratory meeting of things, people, plants, music, smells and dances.
An Occasion Hosted by Isabel Lewis is a Frieze Project co-commissioned by Liverpool Biennial, ICA and Frieze. Isabel Lewis will be hosting a series of occasions as part of Frieze Projects in London from 14-17 October 2014.
Key events for October include:
Sharon Lockhart Film Programme:
Bill Douglas Trilogy
Wednesday 8 October, 6.30pm
£8 / £7 conc, book tickets
Bill Douglas's reputation as a film director rests largely on three films he made in the 1970s, the total running length of which is only just over three hours. My Childhood / My Ain Folk / My Way Home.
International Biennial Association Summit
Saturday 11 October, 10am-4pm
the Bluecoat
The Summit brings international representatives of the IBA together with professionals in the UK that organise periodic and Biennial festivals. Together they explore a range of Biennial models in order to broaden knowledge of international practice in the UK.
Sharon Lockhart World Premiere

When does the earth farthest distance from the sun occur?
1 This sentence doesn't make any sense it should be when is the earth the furthest distance from the sun
2 you spelt furthest wrong
When Earth is farthest from the Sun its location is referred to as what position?
When the Earth is at its farthest distance from the Sun it is at aphelion.
Why does the Northern hemisphere winter not occur when the earth is farthest from the sun at aphelion?
the tilting of the earths axis with respect to the sun is a much greater influence on the strength of the sun's rays than the distance between sun and earth
When is the earth is at its maximum distance from the sun?
Earth is at its maximum distance from the sun in July. In 2012, it was farthest from the sun on July 4th or 5th.
What is the distance of the earth from the sun when it is farthest from the sun?
2000 feet away
Point where earth is farthest from the sun?
Aphelion is the point at which the Earth (or any other object) is at its farthest distance from the Sun. The term "perihelion" is used for that point at the closest approach to the Sun.
What is the farthest distance earth can be from mercury?
The largest distance between Earth and Mercury is when they are at opposite ends of the Sun. So the farthest they can be is 0.38+1 = 1.38 AU.
When does the maximum distance between the sun and the earth occur?
While it may seem counter-intuitive, it occurs in the summer during July. The actual date changes from year to year. The point at which the Earth is farthest from the sun is known as its aphelion.
Why is antarctica the coldest place on earth?
Antarctica is the pole that is farthest away from the sun when the earth is at it's farthest distance from the sun during it's yearly elliptical orbit.
Closest distance from the earth to the sun?
The closest distance from the earth to the sun is about 147 kilometers. This figure changes all the time and at its farthest, the sun is about 152 kilometers away.
What is the distance of the earth from the sun when it is farthest from sun?
Aphelion 152,098,232 km Perihelion 147,098,290 km
How far can the moon be from the sun?
Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is. At its farthest point (aphelion), Earth is about 94 million miles from the sun. The moon's orbit around Earth can add about 250,000 miles to that if it reaches its farthest point from Earth (apogee) during the full moon phase. This is a difference about 0.27% the Earth's distance tot he sun.
When is the sun further away from earth?
The Earth reaches "aphelion", its farthest distance from the Sun, around July 4 each year.
What it the distance from the earth to the Sun?
About 92.9 million miles (149,476,000km). The sun is farthest in July and closest in January.
Why is the moon farthest away from the sun that's when its hot?
The distance between the Sun and the Moon is not related to the temperature on Earth.
Does the earth experience winter when it is farthest from the sun?
No, it does not. We in the north are currently enjoying our summer season, and we are around the time when earth is farthest away from the sun. Aphelion is in early July. It is earth's tilt on its axis and not the planet's distance from the sun that governs the seasons.
How many kilometers is it from Earth to the Sun in July?
The Earth reaches its aphelion (farthest distance from the Sun) about July 4 each year, at which point the Earth is 152,097,701 km away from the Sun.
Distance from earth the closest to farthest planets?
Neptune is the remotest of the eight planets, and its distance is 30 astronomical units, which means its distance from the Sun is 30 times the Earth's distance from the Sun.
How many miles is the moon to the sun?
It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance… Read More
How far is Mercury from Earth?
The distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles). *The average distance from the Sun for Mercury is about 58 million kilometers, and Earth's is about 150 million kilometers. So the average distance between their orbits is about 92 million kilometers (57 million miles)… Read More

So the average distance between their orbits is about 92 million kilometers (57 million miles)… Read More
What is the time when the sun farthest away from the sun?
do you mean when the Earth is farthest away from the Sun? If so, then this occurs at an event called 'aphelion,' when a body is the farthest from its star in its orbit. Recently this has been and will be happening on July 4th. (Note--distance from the Sun has nothing to do with seasons. That is because of our axial tilt.)
Is earth farthest away from the sun when the northern hemisphere is in summer?
That is true. The orbit of the Earth around the sun is ellipitical, and the Earth is farthest from the sun on July 4th. This is slightly ironic, since that is when the northern hemisphere has the warmest weather. But the axial tilt has a greater effect than the variation in distance from the sun (which is only a minor variation).
Is the distance between the sun and the earth always same?
No, it ranges from 147,098,074 km to 152,097,701 km. Curiously, the Earth is closest to the Sun in January, and farthest away in July.
What is the farthest distance the earth will get from the sun in its normal orbit?
About 152,097,701 km according to Wikipedia. A link is at the bottom.
Farthest distance between earth and sun?
Slightly more or less than 92 million miles.
Does the distance between the earth and sun change?
Yes, the Earth's orbit is an ellipse. We are closest to the Sun on January 4th and farthest at July 4th. The difference in distance is negligible compared to the distance to the Sun and does not affect us significantly.
How will seasons on Earth's axis points away from Polaris and toward vega in 14000 years?
Currently, winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when Earth is closets to the Sun. But when the axis tilts toward Vega, winter will occur in the northern hemisphere when earth is farthest from the sun, and summer will occur when earth is closests to the sun.
Which is the sixth farthest planet from the sun?
The Earth is the 6th farthest planet from the Sun. Neptune is the farthest.
The distance between the Earth and the sun is greatest during summer solstice winter solstice aphelion perihelion?
Aphelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is farthest from the sun Perihelion -- the point on its orbit when the Earth is closest to the sun so == == == ==
What is the farthest distance mars was to the sun?
the farthest distance is 154863553 the closest is BTW 128402967
In the year 1950 what was the distance of earth to the sun and is it exactly the same in the year 2009?
The distance between the Earth and the Sun varies from day to day. The Earth is closest to the Sun on January 4, (plus or minus one day) and farthest away from the Sun on July 4. There is very little difference from year to year.
When is earth farthest away from the sun?
The Earth is farthest away from the sun actually in July and closest in January. A+: Aphelion :)
What is the distance from the earth to the sun measured in feet?
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun in the course of a year = 93 million miles and there are 5280 feet in a mile. (93,000,000 x 5,280) = 491,040,000,000 feet (about 491 billion feet) Of course, this varies during the year, with the Earth closest to the Sun in January, and farthest from the Sun in July.
How far is the distance between earth and sun?
The exact distance between the Earth and the Sun varies with its position in its orbit, which is elliptical. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 93 million miles or about 150 million kilometers. This distance is also called 1 astronomical unit (AU). Around the first week of July (Aphelion - when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun), the distance is about 94.4 million miles or 152 million kilometers… Read More
How far away is Saturn from the sun at the farthest point?
At its furthest, Saturn is 9.58 Astronomical Units (AU) from the Sun or about 1,353,572,956 km. (An AU is the average distance of the Earth from the Sun. )
Is the distance from earth to sun larger or from earth to moon?
The distance from the center of the earth to the center of the moon is about 238,837 miles. That distance varies somewhat, because the moon doesn't follow a perfect circular orbit; instead it has an elliptical orbit. At the closest point, the moon is 225,622 miles from the earth; while at its farthest, is 252,088 miles. The sun is about 92,955,820.5 miles from the earth. At that distance, it takes about 8 1/2 minutes for… Read More
How far is Neptune from the sun compared to Earths distance from the sun?
distance form earth to sun is 1 A.U(astronomical unit): Neptune has an elliptical orbits: so at perihelion (closest to sun) : 29.8 A.U and at aphelion (farthest from sun): 30.3 A.U
How many miles from moon to titan?
The Moon is a satellite of Earth, while Titan is a satellite of Saturn. The distance between the Moon and Titan will depend on where the Moon is in its own orbit, where the Earth is in its orbit around the Sun, Saturn's orbit around the Sun, and Titan's orbit around Saturn, because all of these bodies - Earth, moon, Saturn and Titan - are all moving. The closest they would normally come is when… Read More
Why do solstices occur?
The solstice marks a position in the sky for the Sun. There are two a year and they indicate the furthest points of the tilt of the Earth in relationship to the Sun. In the Summer it is the closest and Winter is the farthest.
How close does the earth get to the sun?
The Earth's orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, so our distance from the sun is not always the same. There's a closest point and a farthest point. The closest point happens sometime during the first couple of days of January each year. The closest distance is 91,402,640 miles. The farthest point happens sometime during the first couple of days of July each year. The farthest distance is 94,509,460 miles.
How are solstices determined?
The solstices are determined by the distance the Earth is from the sun in its orbit. Winter is when the sun is farthest away relative to the Earth's tilt. Summer occurs when the opposite is true.
When is the earth farthest away from sun?
Aphelion (earth's greatest distance from the sun) occurs in July. This year it is July 4th. Next year (2010) it will be July 6th.
When in the northern hemisphere what time of year is the sun farthest from the Earth?
The whole Earth is farthest from the sun during the first few days of July.
How far is the Earth from the Sun?
The exact distance between Earth and the Sun varies with its position in its orbit, which is elliptical. The average distance (the mean distance) between the Earth and the Sun is about 150 million kilometers (93 million miles). The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is also called 1 astronomical unit (or AU). This is established as 149, 597, 870.7 kilometers (92,955,887.6 miles). Aphelion (when the Earth is the farthest from the Sun) occurs around… Read More
How far is the sun from the earth during the winter?
Earth reaches perihelion on January 3, 2007. The Earth-Sun distance will be 147,093,602 km. Aphelion, the greatest distance from the Sun, occurs on July 7, 2007, when the Earth-Sun distance will be 152,097,053 km. Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is elliptical, or slightly oval-shaped. This means there is one point in the orbit where Earth is closest to the Sun, and another where Earth is farthest from the Sun. The closest point… Read More

What is the distance from earth to the sun in summer?
When it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, we are farthest away from the sun, at the maximum distance of 152 million km (94.5 million miles). When it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, we are closest, at the minimum distance of 146 million km (91 million miles) The average distance between the sun and the earth is 149 million kilometers (93 million miles).
Approximately when is the Earth farthest from the sun?
The earth is farthest from the sun in early July. This may be surprising to northerners. It is perfectly sensible to our friends in the southern hemisphere.
Which season is earth farthest from the sun?
Earth is farthest from the sun around July 3. That's during summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern.
In what month is the sun closest to the earth?
The Earth's perihelion (closest point to the Sun) is in January, usually around January 4th. The distance is about 147.5 million kilometers, compared to the farthest distance of 152.6 million kilometers in July.


Prices of completed private apartments were unchanged in June and last month although this could represent a temporary lull before they drop further. These properties are still about 3 per cent lower than a year ago and 9.8 per cent below their peak in July 2013, according to flash estimates for the NUS Singapore Residential Price Index (SRPI) out yesterday.
Big Data analytics is at the heart of Singapore's Smart Nation push, says Tan Yen Yen, regional vice-president and managing director of SAS, a US-based business analytics and software provider, which counts DBS Bank, among others, as a major customer in this region. The Smart Nation will tap into the data that can be collected by public-sector agencies which, after being anonymised, will be shared and analysed.
Families who may have sold their flats and are living in rental housing will soon get a Fresh Start Housing Grant to help buy their own two-room flats, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced during the National Day Rally last week.

Client 9 Domains Snatched Minutes After Spitzer Scandal Breaks
Betsy Schiffman
Just minutes after the New York Times published a story online yesterday about a high-class prostitution ring and the involvement of so-called "Client 9," Nick Galbreath, a 37 year-old software engineer in Manhattan, registered the client9.com domain for $10.13. "The original story didn't name [Governor Eliot] Spitzer directly, but I thought [Client9.com] sounded catchy, so […]
Just minutes after the New York Times published a story online yesterday about a high-class prostitution ring and the involvement of so-called "Client 9," Nick Galbreath, a 37 year-old software engineer in Manhattan, registered the client9.com domain for $10.13.
"The original story didn't name [Governor Eliot] Spitzer directly, but I thought [Client9.com] sounded catchy, so I bought it."
He wasn't alone. Speculators bought up all client 9-related domain inventory yesterday, including client-9.net, client-9.com, and client69.com.
And while rm871.com (the room where Spitzer reportedly met a prostitute) is taken, room871.com, which was registered in October 2007, is for sale for $750. Although there's no shortage of interest in the domains, the profits may not be there yet.
Galbreath, who already had a Google AdSense account, says he's made $11 in ad sales on the domain over the past 24 hours. But he also estimates he's spent 8 hours putting the site together and answering emails and phone calls. So on a net basis, he's probably operating at a loss.
"A lot of people have said, 'Oh, you're going to make so much money,' but nobody's made me any offers. I'm happy to sell it, but I haven't had any real offers."
Chris Potoski, owner of No Rival Media, a publisher that dabbles in adult content, bought client-9.net for $5.97 as soon as he heard the story break on CNBC.
He had a site up within a few hours, which aims to be "the ultimate resource for this scandelous late breaking news regarding Elit Spitzer!"
The property, which redirects users to another adult site, got about 2,000 hits yesterday and has resulted in 11 additional new members. It's been a profitable operation for him.
"We definitely saw an increase in sales. I definitely plan to keep it up. As long as I make one sale per year, the domain pays for itself. This type of news lasts forever. And so does the traffic," Potoski says.

Growing up I always found some way to get out and play in the snow. I remember the way my fingers would tingle back to life as they warmed by the fire. And I can still taste the local cider my mom would warm up for us after playing outside.
I left Seattle on Thursday morning hoping that it would snow during my stay in Minnesota. My first day bright and sunny, but the second day it snowed. There's something pure about fresh snow on the ground that lets our minds retreat to a happy place. Maybe winter uncovers itself every year in hopes to slow us down, just for a little.
My favorite thing about the Fossil Q Hybrid Crewmaster is the activity tracker. Running around gets your blood flowing and makes you want to have some waffles in a treehouse by the fire. It was also really nice having my watch automatically adjust to the two hour time change. My sleep was out of wack, but thankfully my Q helped keep me rested. Make a snow angel, dry your wet socks by the fire, and Q the holiday season.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends.

Porcelanosa, one of our main tile vendors, is known for holding their Architecture & Interior Design Awards every year; which now has a new award program to it. This program is held in the United States and it is a design contest for design and architecture professionals. This contest will be judged by notable professionals in the industry. Finalists, who are picked by the judges, will then fly to Spain where the rest of the awards competition will be held; approximately 15 teams will be chosen to go. In Spain, the finalists will get to finish competing with the other projects that were picked from all over the world. Get ready to be excited! The finalists will get to go visit and tour the Porcelanosa factory themselves as well as tour places in Spain at no expense to them!
In Spain, at the Architecture & Interior Design Awards, there will be two types of awards given out and a contestant can have up to three projects in any of the two categories they choose or both. The first category is Forward-Looking Projects. This section is for contestants to create and design an area that follows set guidelines. These guidelines include using Porcelanosa products, building the inside of a restaurant, and including certain features in the restaurant. Contestants in this group can use their imagination and design whatever they want as long as they follow the basic guidelines. The second type of award is the Completed Projects award. Unlike the Forward-Looking Projects, the Completed Projects can be any type of design as long as the project was completed between January 2011 and February 2013 and used Porcelanosa products.
All projects will be judged using specific criteria that includes but is not limited to functionality, product use and creativity. The prize includes getting recognized nationally and internationally through different publications. This is a great way for designers to show off their talent and definitely get recognized for it.

I have Lab results excel file that I need to add to the visit 1 of the study.
What is the recomended way of uploading electronic data into a CRF ?
One possibility is to create a CRF with a field for each data point in the lab result file, and to include this CRF in the event definition for Visit 1. If you are looking for the ability to attach the whole excel file (or potentially any file) to an event definition, this feature is not part of the community OpenClinica product, and you will have to consider a feature enhancement in an OpenClinica Enterprise implementation.
able to imitate data entry without actualy entering all the data again.
We do have a use case for a feature we will be developing as part of an Enterprise implementation that might suit your needs. The gist of it is that it would allow you to upload CRF data directly from a CDISC XML file, without having to key in the data. This will accommodate any format (Excel, HL7) that could be translated into the CDISC XML file.
I have put the relevant portions of the use case below.
During the course of a clinical trial, there could be a need to take data from an external application and import into OpenClinica. An example would be some type of lab result needing to be captured for dataset creation in OpenClinica.
The information could be contained in an XML file, Excel, or a table in another database. It will need to be parsed into the CDSIC ODM XML format before it is imported in OpenClinica. The parsing will take place with the assistance of a Wizard to walk the user on how to complete the import.
The key point to keep in mind is the data being imported must be readily mapped to existing CDISC ODM XML standards. If the existing data does not map, there will be an error during the import.
Precondition: The data elements from the external source can be appropriately mapped to the current CDISC ODM XML format. The user is currently in a CRF they want the data to be imported into.
Pop up wizard is displayed with the following list of external formats that can be imported.
Next and Cancel buttons at the bottom of the wizard.
The next screen of the wizard is displayed. It contains a place to browse for the file with the external data and two options on how to import the data.
Back, Next, and Cancel buttons are displayed at the bottom.
User is returned to the previous screen.
Browse for the appropriate file and attach it. Choose the way to handle duplicate items and click Next.
The data will be mapped to the CDSIC ODM XML format and then imported into the CRF on OpenClinica where item_names match.
If a value is found for an item_name not in the CRF, the system will ignore it.
If the user chose to replace the duplicate items with the imported values, the system will overwrite any instances of values appearing for an item_name already.
If the user chose to not import duplicate values, the system will ignore any values that match for the same item_name.
If the format of the external application can not be mapped to the CDISC ODM XML format, the transaction will fail and a message will be displayed to a user announcing the failure.
Post condition: User has imported data into a CRF from an external application.
How is the file structured? Does it have a row for each item_name or for each patient with columns for items? Can it contain multiple subjects (patients) in one file? Can it have multiple visits on same file?
Can you share the structure for the loading code and we will customize it for our file structure?
What's the timeline for this addition. A few months, next release...etc...approx when?
The file is an XML file structure, so it does not really have rows and columns. The file is based on the CDISC Operational Data Model, the specifications for that can be found here. The ODM schema can be used to represent any kind of clinical data, and is flexible to be used for lab data submission. The exact contents of a file would vary based on the requirements for the type of submission. Since this use case specifically discusses the attachment of data to a single Event CRF, the file to import would contain information on one Subject. There can be multiple Event CRFs for a single Event (visit), so each file to import might contain only part of the data from a single Event.
Of course, this is just one feature under analysis (and not yet implemented). If your needs are for a less granular data import feature, for instance where data for multiple Subjects or Visits would be imported in one pass, we would be interested in getting more information about your requirements. The best way to do this is to start a user story describing what you would like to be able to do. In addition, a sample of the format your data comes in now would be very helpful.

We will look at how Organisations are driving innovation into Customer and User Insight with direct As-Live feedback based on Net Promoter Score (NPS) dashboards rather than relying on traditional reporting measures – often available on weekly or monthly basis as lagging indicators. This approach enables more agility in responding to customer and user experience issues, effectively empowering them to identify value loss.

Home Software App Shift Keyboard presents a new way to write messages on Apple Watch
Shift Keyboard presents a new way to write messages on Apple Watch
By Kamal Saini -
Although it has always been possible to send messages through Apple Watch, the experience is not easy for all users, mainly due to the small screen size. Well, to solve this issue the developer Adam Foot created Shift Keyboard, an application that puts a real keyboard on the smartwatch screen.
What the app does is make available to Apple Watch users a full keyboard on the screen, with all the characters that appear on their phone. In addition, the app offers two types of keyboard, complete and accurate, so that users can choose which one they want to use the first time you open the application, with the possibility of changing it later in the configuration.
The option called 'Accurate', for example, is the most obvious and simple option, with all the large letters, numbers and special characters. This keyboard is ideal for those who know exactly what and how they want to type. It is even possible to choose if you want the keyboard to be available in alphabetical order, QWERTY or AZERTY.
But the most interesting option of this app is the full keyboard, which shows a keyboard exactly as it looks on iOS. Since Apple Watch is so small, this keyboard works along with predictions and suggestions to improve the message being written.
Some limitations
Like everything in the world of technology, Shift Keyboard has a disadvantage and, because of the limitations of the Apple Watch SDK, this service works as a standalone application and not as a third-party keyboard. This means that for now it can only be used with the system's native message application to send iMessage and SMS messages.
If you want to try the Shift keyboard on your Apple Watch, the application is available in the App Store. It is necessary that the Apple Watch on which you are going to install it has the version watchOS 6.0 or later.

Drake just came out with his first single since he released More Life, Signs is his first release in months but it's okay to overlook that after all the man did bless us with a 22 track LP. He hasn't been in hiding at all he has been collaborating with artists and popping up at festivals through out this release laden period.
Signs is in collaboration with Louis Vuitton's show in Paris. Louis Vuitton teased the track on their Instagram handle revealing that it would come out at the same time as the Louis Vuitton show and now it's out in full.
He produced the track along with his OVO colleague 40, and both of them combine together splendidly. The track is about the signs of the times all around us or rather around drizzy.

The Fort St John RCMP is in the process of checking the local schools to ensure no students are unaccounted for. Thus far, there is no evidence to suggest an abduction took place.
"The Fort St John RCMP is continuing with their investigation to determine whether an abduction actually took place", say S/Sgt. Steve Perret, "we are hoping that the persons from this white SUV come forward to provide an explanation as to what happened or someone out there has information about what happened. This is being treated as a priority investigation but we need the public's assistance in figuring out what actually occurred".
If you have any information regarding the identity of the vehicle or persons involved, please contact the Fort St. John RCMP at 250-787-8100.
If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
