ABC1 was a United Kingdom based television channel from Disney using the branding of the Disney-owned American network, ABC.
The channel had general entertainment programming with programming from the US parent channel, apart from the weekend morning programming block Playhouse Disney, which was aimed at children.[2][3]
ABC1 channel initially launched exclusively on the British digital terrestrial television platform Freeview on 27 September 2004 but only from 6am to 6pm[3] with the expectations to eventually broadcast 24/7 by 2010. The channel did not air commercials for the first few months to build up viewers[4][5] In December 2004 it was launched on Telewest's digital cable service,[6] and on 14 December on the NTL digital cable service.[7]
In March 2005, ABC1 took its first advertisement from Procter and Gamble.[8] Also in 2005, Sky started carrying the channel.[9] In the summer 2006, a Playhouse Disney block was added to the schedule in the morning.[2]
It was announced on 7 September 2007 that ABC1 would cease broadcasting on all UK TV platforms, due to Disney deciding to concentrate on their other channels and lack of primetime availability on Freeview. Despite being scheduled to close down on 1 October 2007, ABC1 ceased broadcasting on all UK TV platforms at noon on 26 September 2007; the final program on ABC1 was an episode of Home Improvement. However, on the 16th of February 2009, According to the Digital Spy forum. Mikay told that the channel was still on the channel list.[9]
Although the channel was the only channel in the UK under ABC branding, it seems it will not be the last as Disney-ABC International television have announced plans to bring the US news channel, ABC News Now, to international territories including the UK[10] in a similar style to Fox News.
The schedule consisted entirely of American drama and comedy. The channel generally made use of the ABC Television Studio back-catalogue. Programs were mainly from the ABC network, such as Sports Night. It broadcast Ellen, the 90s sitcom by comedian Ellen DeGeneres and the Geena Davis sitcom The Geena Davis Show. Some of its programmes such as 8 Simple Rules, Daddio and Home Improvement were also seen in the UK on Disney Channel, but were later moved over completely to ABC1, when it started airing on Sky, to coincide with the full cartoon evenings. Disney Channel's broadcast of shows such as 8 Simple Rules were edited for children's viewing. They were aired completely uncut on ABC1.
On 28 February and 1 March 2005, the network shook up its schedule by introducing two major new comedies, Hope & Faith and Less than Perfect to sandwich around the big ratings success of 8 Simple Rules. On 31 May the channel introduced Rodney to its schedule at 4pm weekdays and from 4 July ABC1 began to air Scrubs, which is also seen on other UK channels, E4, Channel 4, Sky 1 and Comedy Central.
For the first year after launching ABC1 broadcast from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm only. Commencing 26 September 2005, the channel broadcast 24 hours a day on Sky and NTL (now Virgin Media) services. However, the channel did not go 24-hours on the Telewest (now also Virgin Media) digital cable service until 21 October 2005, and remained a 12-hour service on Freeview due to space restrictions on the platform. It is known that Disney would have liked the channel to go 24 hours on Freeview to boost its audience share in the evenings. NTL Ireland carried ABC1 24-hours, but for unknown reasons (a problem at ABC1, according to NTL) the guide reported "Channel Off Air" at 6:00 pm every day .
ABC1 added US drama Kevin Hill to its schedule on 26 September 2005 as well as the second seasons of Less than Perfect and Sports Night towards the end of the year. 8 Simple Rules Season 3 was shown in March 2006, followed by Commander In Chief, and The Guardian, which joined the channel in April 2006.
On 5 June 2006, ABC1 introduced a block of programming from Playhouse Disney, including Higglytown Heroes, JoJo's Circus and Stanley. In July 2006, ABC1 started to air the second season of Scrubs and cult 90s drama Party of Five. In August more new programming was made available from ABC1 from the likes of Rodney season 2 and a change in the schedule for Playhouse Disney on ABC1 with the addition of Little Einsteins.
As of August 2006, all drama programming had been removed and the channel consisted of back to back sitcoms, though some drama programming did come back in 2007. In September 2006 Hope & Faith season 3 started and broadcasting every Thursday in double bills from 9:00 pm. Season 3 of Less than Perfect also started in October.
ABC1 was keen for its viewers to be able to see all of its programming on offer, and many programmes that premièred on the channel during non-Freeview hours were repeated at another time when the channel was available on Freeview (exceptions to this were The Guardian due to its subject matter, Ghost Whisperer and In Justice; although promotions for these programmes would air during the day whilst the channel was available on Freeview). It was also the only channel to time its running schedule so that Freeview viewers did not crash in and out of programmes at the 6:00 am/6:00 pm junctions.
The vast majority of shows shown on ABC1 had ended, with only two shows still in production, Ghost Whisperer and Scrubs (although ABC1 did not have the rights to later seasons of Scrubs and only the right for series 1 of Ghost Whisperer).
Commercial placement
Unlike most UK broadcasters, for its first six months ABC1 did not carry any commercials. However, it did have full-length ad-style breaks featuring trailers for its own shows and those of the Disney Channel.
On ABC1, the advertising slots were placed in the American style of being close to the beginning and end of the programme, unlike the European fashion of between programmes and in the middle. The American style usually has the adverts at approximately 5, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55 minutes past the hour as opposed to the standard European style of 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes past, although ABC1 often did without the breaks at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. The exact placing of adverts varied among shows and episodes, and could be anything from half a minute to eight minutes before or after the beginning and end of a show. On ABC1, hour-length programmes (such as Commander In Chief) were often split into just three parts with the two ad-slots either end of the programme and the third roughly at the halfway point. ABC1 breaks were considerably longer than is customary in the UK due to the shortening of American TV series which has been ongoing for decades. As of 2007 the average American sitcom runs at 20 minutes while the average drama runs 40 minutes. ABC1 often filled long breaks with bumpers and promotions of its own, or Disney Channel UK's, programming.

Lovely jubbly in city of romance
Paris, Venice and Rome might seem the obvious location to woo a woman, but not so far from here is the UK's very own city of romance – Bath.
The Somerset city is steeped in history with plenty of picture-postcard scenery. Peeping between streets lined with honey-coloured Georgian buildings are splashes of glorious countryside, a patchwork quilt of green valleys and hills.
Add to that Bath's love affair with Jane Austen, the literary queen of English romance, as well as an established mastery of spa bathing, it's a real winner with the ladies.
It was a sunny Friday in mid-September when my fiance Andy and I headed west on the M4 to stay at a serviced apartment in the city centre.
We soon realised it may have been better to take the hour-long train, given the traffic... but then, who minds a jam when you're sat admiring Bath Abbey?
We checked into the SACO apartments, part of a converted terrace on St James' Parade. It was immaculate, with a sparkling kitchen complete with dishwasher, washing machine and cooker. It seemed we'd be staying in a show home for two nights. But before we got too comfortable, we had a date with a rooftop pool.
Thermae Bath Spa is next to the famous Roman Baths and benefits from the naturally warm spring water – the UK's only – that has been bubbling up to the surface for centuries. The Romans were the first to make a show of the spring, believing it to be a gift of the goddess Minerva, around 2,000 years ago.
The public spa is not quite so rustic nowadays however, with Thermae's New Royal Baths split over four levels. We dashed up to the rooftop pool where a breathtaking view over Bath was matched by a glorious orange glow of the setting sun.
Drenched in the warm waters of the pool it was easy to see why Thermae was such a hot spot on a Friday night. Spellbound, we didn't move until the stars came out.
There was much more to try – the Minerva pool, on the lower level, was deliciously warm and its gentle whirlpool motion had us bobbing around like lily pads.
We finished our session in the aromatherapy steam rooms, four giant cylinders of scented heat, and left feeling too relaxed for anything more than a takeaway.
Saturday morning greeted us with similar sunshine so we headed to the Abbey where a Regency promenade set off across the city centre as part of the annual Jane Austen Festival.
The author lived in Bath between 1800 and 1806 and is its most celebrated resident, with the Jane Austen Centre paying particular homage. It was delightful to admire her literary fans in costume, walking past the street names she mentioned in Persuasion – which at the time I was mid-way through reading.
Having criss-crossed the streets and passed the Royal Crescent, we stumbled into the Royal Victoria Gardens; a 57-acre park with a bird aviary, boating pond, tennis courts and children's play areas.
I conceded to a little golf on the 18-hole putting green (Andy had sacrificed watching the Ryder Cup, after all). But I guess Bath really is one for the girls as it was me who scored the hole-in-one.
The park led us down towards the River Avon, which we followed back into the city to Pulteney Bridge. It's a great spot for lunch and from The Boater pub's beer garden – a fantastic riverside venue with its roots firmly set in rugby – we enjoyed wonderful views. It's the only historic bridge apart from Ponte Vecchio in Florence to have shops built into it, and stretches across the weir.
That evening we dined in Sally Lunn's restaurant, the oldest house in Bath (c.1482) and home to the local delicacy, the Bath Bun. We were shown to our table, in a cosy room on the first floor, to taste the famous local dish.
My starter, a warm salad with smoked chicken, bacon and walnuts (£4.28), was light and flavoursome, while Andy's soup of the day (tomato, £4.28) disappeared quickly, as did the slice of Bath Bun which, I was told, was airy and sweet.
I soon discovered this myself; our mains were both served with a hefty slice. Soft, delicate and spongy, it soaked up the sweet plum ginger sauce that accompanied my breast of duck and seasonal vegetables (£10.48) beautifully. Andy opted for slow-cooked shank of lamb with minted gravy (£10.28), which didn't last as long as my duck main... but I wasn't sharing.
At around 8pm roars of laughter filtered in from the streets outside. It was Bizarre Bath – The Comedy Walk, an irreverent look at the city in an hour-and-a-half tour. It certainly seemed the city had come alive.
We couldn't leave the next day without a tour of the Roman Baths; the city has become what it is thanks to this World Heritage Site, after all.
Built around the country's only hot spring, we were free to walk around the stunning open-air Great Bath, which glowed emerald green beneath columns and statues, before heading within to explore the remains of the temple and bathing complex.
There's a viewing area to watch the bubbles surface at the source and you can listen to a free audioguide as you wander across the ancient stones.
I already knew I would be struck by Bath's delights; its historic glories, the pampering spa, and the platform from which Jane Austen's world of romance was inspired. But I didn't expect to fall in love.

The PH+ guide to thermal breaks
Building physics take no prisoners. Anyone designing, constructing or upgrading the thermal envelope of a building to modern energy performance levels is duty bound to understand and minimise thermal bridging, or suffer the consequences. One-man thermal bridging encyclopaedia Andrew Lundberg of Passivate, who teaches thermal bridging analysis at Dublin Institute of Technology, gives some practical advice on why and how to tackle thermal bridging head on, and describes some of the leading innovations in thermally broken components.
The PH+ guide to airtightness
Once poorly understood by the mainstream building industry, airtightness is now increasingly seen as one of the most crucial objectives on any building project. Not only is it vital for energy efficiency, it's also key for thermal comfort and for protecting a building's structure from dampness and mould. In this comprehensive guide to airtightness, we look at why it's so important, how exactly it's measured, and most importantly, how to achieve it on site.
The PH+ guide to heat recovery ventilation
Heat recovery ventilation is an invaluable way to maintain indoor air quality in low energy buildings and minimise the loss of precious heat, but there are several issues to address to ensure optimal performance. Ventilation expert Ian Mawditt, a technical advisor on Part F of England's building regulations, has decades of experience in field investigations of indoor air quality and ventilation effectiveness. His guide, which focuses on centralised or ducted whole house heat recovery systems, is essential reading to anyone considering such a system.


When I arrived I saw that the room was well laid out and a copy of the agenda and voting slip had been placed on each chair.
The meeting was opened on time, to the split second, by Sgt at Arms, Paul Hart. Then from stage right entered our Toastmaster for the evening, and staring in that role was none other than Jean Stewart. This was Jean's first time in this role though no one would have ever guessed. Everyone was welcomed to the club and Jean gave a personal welcome to our guest Collum. One thing that I particularly liked was the way that Jean used her own experience when she first joined Toastmasters to put Collum at ease.
Jean then introduced our Timekeeper Alison Straw, Ah Counter Paul Hart and Grammarian Derek Lucian.
Alison did a really good job of explaining how important it was to stick to time, something which I obviously forgot later in the meeting. She also used Jeans introduction as an example of the timings and told us at what points she had held up the cards. This came across really well and I thought it was a good explanation. What she forgot to explain though, and something I didn't realise either, is that when you go 5 minutes over, a person sitting at the back of the room, waves the red card at you with one hand while drawing a pointed finger across her throat with the other and mouthing the words "GET OFF". Obviously a point there for all future timekeepers to cover.
The multi-tasking Paul Hart doubled up on his roles last night and was also the Ah Counter. Paul did an excellent job of explaining his role, and likened it to him being the 'speech police'. Something that we should all think about when we feel the urge to erm, ah, so or well. After all no one likes being caught by The Fuzz!
Derek Lucian was our Grammarian and he went with the new idea of giving the definition of the Word of the Day and letting people guess. Truly an inspired idea from the mind of a genius I thought. Oh yes, the Word of the Day was……..INDUBITABLE. And I still can't pronounce it now. A really good word though, even if it doesn't trip of the tongue like our clubs favourite….SO.
Then came the speeches. Michael J Clarke introduced Gail's speech, 'Eliza Binks'. As always Michael covered all the aims of the speech and also mentioned some of the points that Gail had asked him to look out for in addition. Gail performed her speech #5 and, without wanting to sound biased, I thought that it was her best speech to date, nicely paced with good use of body language and she even included the word of the day. When Michael evaluated the speech he gave some really good feedback for Gail which was both constructive and well thought out.
Jamie Godfrey introduced Derek Badger's speech, 'Friday Night at 9 0'clock'. Again Jamie covered all the aims of speech #8 as well as extra points that Derek wanted him to look at. But then Jamie went one step further and told us an extra point that he had identified himself that he was going to evaluate Derek on. As we expect now, Derek's speech was full of facts and figures and was an interesting speech. I particularly liked the way it went full circle. A nicely thought out speech. In his evaluation, Jamie done a great job. In fact he done really well. He gave feedback which was both balanced and constructive, and gave Derek something to work on for his next speech. One thing that Jamie is going to have to watch though is his use of the word 'done'. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but you do tend to use it quite a lot Jamie. Let's hope the 'Speech Police' don't pick up on this or you might end up getting done.
Richard Bluck introduced Sundip Murwaha's speech #4 entitled, 'Heaven's Gate'. Once again Richard covered all the aims of the speech and it was obvious that he had also taken the time to speak to Sundip beforehand, something that every speech evaluator should do. Sundip's speech was brilliant. His use of descriptive words was exploited to the extreme. He gave everyone present a vivid picture in their minds eye of what was happening. All I can say is that I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Richard's evaluation was again balanced and fair and he gave Sundip good words of advice for future speeches.
Next came coffee break. I'd love to tell you what went on, but as we all know, what happens in coffee break, stays in coffee break.
The second half started on time, Paul again calling the meeting to order with great authority.
Jean re-opened the meeting and Derek reminded us all of the Word of the Day, and how often it hadn't been used. Then I, your General Evaluator, or GE as we like to be called in GE circles, introduced the speech evaluators.
Then came Table Topics. Our Table Topics Master was Michael J Clarke and he came up with a really good session. He gave each participant an album title to talk about. What I really liked was that each album title had a little story of what that album meant to Michael. All in all one of the best ideas for Table Topics I've seen, excellent. Collum earned his First Timer ribbon with his speech topic of the Rolling Stones album Tonight's the Night, but it was Hazel who stole the show and won best Table Topics with the topic, Rumours, which was of course an album by the great Fleetwood Mac, who incidentally got their name after visiting the northern town of Fleetwood but forgetting to equip themselves properly for the inclement weather, and having to raid the local C&A and buy suitable clothing. The band called them their Fleetwood Macs, and so the name stuck.
Next came the reports from our Table Topics evaluator Ryan Sean, sorry Sean Ryan. Sean was on top form with his evaluation and managed to have everyone laughing yet at the same time gave worthwhile feedback to all those who had taken part. Sean went on to win the best evaluators ribbon. Well done Sean.
The 'Speech Police' in the form of Paul Hart provided evaluation on the numbers of Erm, ums and ah's we had all used and Derek Lucian gave evaluations on how we'd all taken to using the word indubitable, or not, during the night, as well as other good and bad examples of the use of English.
Of course all that had gone before was a mere appetiser for what came next. The main event of the evening, my meeting evaluation. It was epic. Nearly as long as Ben-Hur. And to think I had been sitting there wondering how I was going to fill 10 minutes.
Our Toastmaster Jean once more took to the stage for a question and answer session and Gail had the honour of handing out the evening's prizes to the deserved winners.
Finally Sundip stood at the front and thanked everyone for the feedback and support that he had received at the last meeting. I'm sure I'm not alone in being constantly inspired by Sundip's progress and know that he will constantly improve become more and more confident in the safe environment that everyone at the club had provided.
Finally the meeting came to a close. Amazingly on time.

Everyone's favorite "street rat" is back in Disney's latest live-action adaptation of its classics.
Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, the Genie and Jafar are all back in action in the first trailer for Disney's upcoming "Aladdin."
Director Guy Ritchie's live-action remake of the 1992 animated film stars Will Smith as the Genie, Mena Massoud as the title hero, "Power Rangers" star Naomi Scott as the princess and Marwan Kenzari as the evil sorcerer on their tails.
While there is no Genie yet in the trailer, we do get a glimpse of his home as Aladdin reaches for it in the Cave of Wonders. Iago also offers up a bird's eye view of Agrabah and the sweeping desert vistas that surround it. Honestly, the whole thing looks visually stunning, already. And Aladdin, the only principal character we see, certainly looks the part.
Like the original, Al is described by Disney as a "hapless but lovable street rat who is smitten with the Sultan's daughter" and stumbles upon a magic lap inhabited by a wish-granting genie. Jafar is still up to no good, devising "a nefarious plot to unseat the Sultan and rule Agrabah himself."
Navid Negahban ("Homeland") plays Jasmine's father in the film, while Billy Magnussen ("Into the Woods") will appear as Prince Andrews, a new character and potential suitor for the princess. Nasim Pedrad ("SNL") plays one of her hand maidens.

Lady GaGa: "New album is greatest of my career"
While still traveling round the world to support her second studio album The Fame Monster, Lady GaGa says she's already working on the new album that's going to be "the greatest of my career", "the anthem for our generation" and her "best work to date."
She told her fans on GaGaDaily:
I've already written the first single for the new album. I wrote it for you. Because of you, when I was in Liverpool, I wrote the greatest music I've ever written."
GaGa keeps mum about the possible release date of the album or any other details regarding her new music effort.
There are some things the singer/songstress is ready to share with the world though.
It's been confirmed she's shooting the new video for 'Alejandro' claiming the new vid isn't in any way connected with 'Paparazzi' and 'Telephone.'
Besides, thanks to Lady's new interview with New York magazine we also know that GaGa feels ok being single as she can have an orgasm just by thinking about sex.
I remember the first time that I drank out of an imaginary coffee cup. That's the very first thing they teach you (in acting class). I can feel the rain, too, when it's not raining. I can actually mentally give myself an orgasm. You know, sense memory is quite powerful."

Since Alessandro Michele landed in Gucci not only brand evolution is still in the realm of aesthetics that is also having repercussions in the financial field of the Italian company. And we have so many new clothes personality so that half the world love and other half detests them completely, something essential to sell catchy at the entrance of a school.
There are many options and brands to give you a caprichito this season but since then Gucci is one of them, the it girls and fashion journalists are delivered to the new signature so in a short time are becoming authentic "must-have". This fall will not be all trendy if you don't have the Dionysus bag in any of its finishes (my favorites are those who wear embroidered insects) and the shoes with fringe tab and the signature vintage logo.
They have so much personality and are so different every time you put them will become special for everyone who sees them both ti. So if you do not want to resort to the legendary handbags and shoes, this can be a perfect choice, celebrities such as Sienna Miller, stylists like Anna dello Russo or bloggers from around the world already have been animated with them.


Aim of the project is development of therapeutic models focused on the experienced violence and manifestation of own agression as part of the treatment of drug addiction in Therapeutic community (TC) Karlov and Němčice. On the basis of these activities will be processed Research study concentrated to the influence of violence to drug addiction and efficiency of treatment. The main goal is broad medialization for proffesional public,on the platform of TC and finally organization of Conference.

Autoinflammatory Syndrome
Severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
We report a case of neonatal-onset autoinflammatory syndrome that resembles Nakajo-Nishimura syndrome (NNS), a rare autoinflammatory syndrome caused by a homozygous PSMB8 mutation. The patient is a 7-year-old boy who demonstrated clinical findings that differ from those of typical NNS.
Exudative erythemas on his face, trunk, and extremities developed 2 weeks after birth. At 1 month of age, the patient developed fever, elevated serum C-reactive protein levels, and elevated hepatic amino transferase levels. A febrile convulsion caused basal ganglia calcification at 4 months of age. Severe pulmonary arterial hypertension of unknown origin (NT-proBNP 33,445 pg/mL) was diagnosed at 7 months of age. These symptoms improved after administration of bozentan and ambrisentan, which are endothelin receptor antagonists. At 9 months of age, he developed heliotrope rash, edematous erythema on his extremities, and myositis with elevated serum creatine kinase levels (16,000 IU/L). Antinuclear antibodies, as well as anti-Jo-1 and anti-DNA antibodies, were negative. Skin and muscle biopsies revealed massive cellular inflammation, consisting primarily of lymphocytes and monocytic cells, located in the epidermis and between muscle fibers with fat tissue necrosis in the subcutis. Concomitant degeneration and regeneration of muscle fibers occurred and resulted in moderate variations in the fiber size.
These results initially led to a diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis. His symptoms temporarily improved with corticosteroid treatment but recurred periodically. Administration of systemic agents such as azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, and intravenous immunoglobulins did not lead to remission.
Hepatosplenomegaly and liver cirrhosis due to pulmonary arterial hypertension induced portal hypertension beginning at age 6. The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1β (28 pg/mL), IL-6 (84.3 pg/mL), TNFα (21.6 pg/mL), IL-18 (595 pg/mL), and IFN-γ (7.0 IU/mL) were all increased during the periodic recurrences. These periodic symptoms were refractory to several immunosuppressive agents, which suggested an autoinflammatory syndrome. Although presence of fever, erythemas, basal ganglia calcification and hepatosplenomegaly suggested NNS, some of the characteristic symptoms of NNS, such as lipomuscular atrophy in the upper body and long clubbed fingers with joint contractures, did not occur in this patient.
Since no significant mutations had been detected in the NLRP3, NOD2, MEFV, MVK, TNFRSF1A, and PSMB8 genes, whole exome sequencing of the patient and his parents was performed and a novel de novo heterozygous mutation has been identified in PSMB9, encoding the immunoproteasome subunit beta1i, in the patient. Our case might represent a novel proteasome-associated autoinflammatory syndrome similar to but distinct from NNS, in which a heterozygous mutation of the PSMB9 gene is responsible.
Written informated consent for publication of their clinical details was obtained from the patient/parent/guardian/relative of the patient.

Joseph Edler von Némethy (* 15. Juli 1819 in Siemianówka, Galizien; † 11. Mai 1890 in Wien) war ein k. u. k. Offizier (Feldmarschallleutnant) und Direktor des Kriegsarchivs ungarischer Abstammung.

Biographie

Joseph war der Sohn des Franz Némethy, k. k. Kammeral-Administrations-Assessor in Galizien, der den österreichischen Adelsstand mit "Edler von" durch Allerhöchste Entschließung zu Lemberg am 10. Juli 1817 und Diplom zu Wien am 9. April 1818 erworben hatte, und später Kreiskommissär des Bukowiner Kreises zu Czernowitz wurde.

Joseph von Némethy trat mit 17 Jahren als Kadettunterkanonier in das Feldartillerieregiment Nr. 3 ein. Vor Erlangen des Leutnantgrades war er dem k.u.k militär-geographischen Institut zugeteilt und machte den Winter- und Sommerfeldzug 1848/1849 in Ungarn mit. Darauf fand er Verwendung bei den Triangulierungsarbeiten und wurde 1851 Oberleutnant im Militär-Geographen-Korps. Als Hauptmann 2.

Engaging the Generations ~ What makes us Tick? A look at Millennials and More!
There is broad recognition of the fact that there are four generations in the workplace. We hear about the differences between the Gen X'ers, Millennials, Boomers, and Silent Generation – but really what are they? Generations are different in what works best for them in the workplace. It is important to match generational preferences with strategies to assist employees to reach their full potential and stay engaged.
What they look for in employer programs?

The 2019 Honda Accord comes with three different drivetrain combinations. The base engine is a 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder producing 192 horsepower. It makes a little more horsepower and torque than the engine it replaces, which was not turbocharged had a larger displacement. Transmissions available with this engine include a 6-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission that can alter gear ratios on the fly. Meanwhile, the optional V6 has also been replaced with a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. This one displaces 2.0L and makes 252 horsepower, slightly less than the V6 engine it's replacing. However, the new engine does make significantly more torque than that V6 while also producing better mileage, so overall, it's a tradeoff most buyers would be happy to make. Power is sent to the front wheels via either a 10-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual with the 2.0L engine. The optional hybrid drivetrain uses a 2.0L non-turbocharged engine in combination with two electric motors to send power to the front wheels while sipping a minimum of gasoline.
Top-of-the-line Touring models are offered only with the 2.0L engine and come even better outfitted with a power-adjustable passenger seat, a 10-speaker premium audio system, a navigation system, full LED headlights, adaptive dampers in the suspension, a heads-up display, wireless charging for phones, ventilated front seats and additional noise insulation.

Joint Improvisation Meeting 2015 from CNRS Site POUCHET on Vimeo.
We understand joint improvisation as an artistic form involving two or more performers engaging in multiple real-time interactions: with each other, with the audience and with the emerging content. Improvisers freely explore, within some boundaries, a large space of possibilities for new joint discoveries.
While joint improvisation has long standing history in dance, music and theatre, its scholarship as a unified phenomenon, in particular from a scientific perspective, is still in its infancy. Moreover, the perspective of joint improvisation is useful in studying a range of human phenomena beyond the boundaries of the artistic arena, including conversation, scientific co-discovery and the dynamics of groups operating in emergency situations.
The "Science of Joint Improvisation" meeting aims to bring together researchers from a number of different fields to establish a rigorous study of joint improvisation. First, the conference will bring together researchers that currently apply a scientific approach to study joint improvisation, using different paradigms – verbal report analysis, kinematic measurements, brain imaging and mathematical modeling. Second, the conference is open to researchers from different subfields of cognitive and behavioral sciences, social sciences and philosophy that study topics highly related to group improvisation, such as group creativity, aesthetic perception, linguistics, kinesthetic empathy and the human 'mirror system'. We also see joint improvisation as a specific case of joint action, and look forward to contributions of experts from this growing field. Contributions from practitioners of improvisation will also be welcome.
The aim of this meeting is to foster scientific investigation of joint improvisation as a unique phenomenon, and as a rich novel ground for an ecological study of a number of central questions regarding human nature. The workshop is supported by the DIM cerveau & pensée (Ile de France).
"Acting together without planning ahead?


I usually tell people that developing games is the most challenging and also the most rewarding discipline in programming out there. You get to solve really rather difficult problems with astonishing regularity and everything you can squeeze out of the technical environment has a significant impact on the player experience.
That makes it a bit strange that we haven't talked about the technical details of the stuff we've made here. That is going to change with this technical review of the game Beestenbende we recently made for the University Museum Utrecht.
Beestenbende is a game for families visiting the cabinet of curiosities at University Museum Utrecht. Players are invited to look at the objects on display through the eyes of scientists. In the game, a number of animals in the cabinet are confused about the animal group they belong to.
From the onset it was rather clear that this should be a mobile game of some sorts that takes place in the museum, so off we go.
Initially, because I had hardly any experience developing for iOS I tried setting up this project in PhoneGap. The promise of being able to use my existing web development skills to create an app and then be able to deploy it to multiple platforms was very appealing.
After a couple of days this turned out to be a dead end. Even in the basic game engine I set up, where some screens transitioned into each other, performance was disastrous. Attempts at throwing optimizations at that problem did not show much progress. Additionally PhoneGap documentation was not very helpful and tooling to debug these issues nearly non-existant. So rather quickly we made the switch to native iOS development for this project.
This was my first iOS project but I found a bunch of API knowledge along with ample use of Stack Overflow to be more than enough to start building with confidence.
Working with storyboards is really excellent and something lacking in most integrated development environments. They work equally well if you want to quickly prototype something or if you want to really go for a pixel perfect design. Interaction designers cas use a storyboard with NavigationControllers to quickly pull together the basic flows and controls of an app. But they also enable you to fine tune the final 10% of your app.
What proved especially useful is the fact that non-programmers can easily make deep changes to the user interface without breaking code. Creating new screens or tweaking existing views and assets proved to be very easy and source control conflicts that did turn up regularly (MainStoryboard.storyboard could have been a bit less monolithic) were easily resolved.
I would say that serious web development needs something equivalent to a storyboard editor very desperately. I know the paradigms are different, but that is not the point. The main point is that an environment where developers and non-developers can comfortably work together without integration problems is the future.
The default camera control in the iPhone works well but its introduction of a new mode is jarring and unnecessary. We saw the possibility to use AVFoundation based video within an existing view (as seen in for instance Grid Lens) and we went for that. It did prove to be a bit finicky to get right but overall the vastly superior user experience was more than worth it.
We had quite some issues with enabling custom fonts on the iPhone. The ones that we originally wanted to use had a misset ascender. Correcting the font metrics using a tool (see this Stack Overflow answer) then caused other problems down the road which made us eventually go back to one of the fonts included on the iPhone.
If you want to set custom fonts in the storyboard editor a simple trick to do that is to create a custom class (for instance CustomLabel) which changes its own font. Then in the storyboard any label you want to have that special font you can assign that class in the identity inspector. The customization does not need to be limited to the fonts but can be anything. We used this method to create uniform master styles for the various labels, buttons and other views that we were using in the app.
We added sounds relatively late in the game but it cannot be overstated how much of a difference they make to a game. We can say that the sound effects provided by Rik Nieuwdorp from Claynote really made the game come to life.
Besides needing sound effects for the actions one can perform in the game, we needed voices for the various characters and tunes for some of the introduction and summary screens. Rik did an excellent job on what was probably not the most straight-forward brief.
I used Cocos2D's excellent CocosDenshion sound library for the audio playback which is a simple drop-in and very easy to use.
Finally to talk about polishing a mobile app: what starts out as a small project quickly balloons into something rather daunting. Being able to control the entire user experience carries with it the responsibility to ensure that it is a good experience, but that takes an enormous amount of time.
But all in all making a game like this is very rewarding, especially if you see the families in the museum playing it.

board by putting its principles into practice. And found happiness in the process.
For the management team the board then was more of an obstacle to be got round than something that might add value. But we had some good trustees and we could see that a better board might be possible.
– a message that proclaims the importance of solid, just and equitable governance.
Commitment to diversity is a basic essential of good governance so nonprofit organisations, one might expect, should have diversity policies and practices deeply embedded at their core. The international anti-poverty charity ActionAid has always been emotionally committed to diversity. It was just, at times, rather difficult to see it in practice, either from the outside looking in or from the inside, looking around.
Equally ActionAid was always committed to gender equity and to gender balance at all levels, in all things. Only, that too was often hard to spot. For sure, hearts at ActionAid were in the right places and all intentions were just as they should be, but in the past the reality was often far from what it should have been.
Back in 1977, when I started with the charity as UK director, diversity was a concept barely understood. ActionAid was very small then (it was known as Action in Distress until it changed its name to ActionAid in 1980). Board members when I joined the charity were all relatively rich white men from the south of England, all personal appointees of the charity's founder, Cecil Jackson Cole (mostly they worked for CJC's estate agency firm). Diverse, we were not. But the absence went largely unnoticed.
it was policy, back then), all comparatively rich white men. From that moment we the management vowed to change. The great thing about ActionAid is that, slowly perhaps, the rest of the organisation followed.
Around the late 1970s/ early 1980s an ActionAid board meeting provided an anecdote that sums up how imperfectly our unrepresentative board was functioning at the time. This meeting was important for ActionAid's management because the board was being asked to approve a new programme in Burundi, a volatile and difficult place to work. We needn't have worried; with the exception of one or two of the better-informed trustees already on our side, no one on the board had even the slightest idea where Burundi is, so the proposal was nodded through unopposed inside two minutes. On the same agenda was an item relating to the proposed new Grimsby gift shop. Now everyone on the board had been to Grimsby and most had strong views as to whether the north side of the High Street was better for shopping than the south side, so the board debated this choice back and forth for more than 20 minutes before the management got their way in the end.
Over the years (I left the ActionAid staff in 1983 but returned 12 years later in a voluntary capacity, as a trustee) some modest progress was made. The senior management team under CEO Roland (Rip) Hodson moved towards gender balance and throughout the organisation a good picture of diversity began to emerge. Some eminent women joined the board, making a massive difference. But the board chair and CEO remained resolutely white and male.
Serious change took hold in 1998 when Salil Shetty, from India, was promoted to be CEO. Salil brought with him a dedication to radical change, particularly his passion to see ActionAid commit to a becoming a genuinely international organisation in all its aspects within five years of taking up his appointment. Just as Salil was preparing to fill his new post, following three years on the board's back benches I was appointed to chair ActionAid's board of trustees. Thus ActionAid's programme of Internationalisation began, driven by Salil and his team and supported by the trustees. The outcome swiftly led to a complete restructuring of the board, the move to a unified federal structure, creation of national boards for all affiliates and programme countries and a commitment to gender equity and diversity at all levels throughout the organisation.
ActionAid's strategy planning meeting in Bangkok in 2004 provided a stark contrast to that first international meeting in London back in 1982. This time there were 140 participants from 40 countries, 50 per cent were women, mostly Africans and Asians and there was clearly, evidently a much higher level of debate. Something significant had changed. ActionAid had made sure it did. My successor as board chair in 2003 was a Ugandan woman, Noreen Kaleeba, and a brilliant, charismatic leader and unifier she proved to be. Being part of her appointment remains one of the high points of my professional life.
ActionAid now works in more than 50 countries around the world, from Afghanistan and Brazil to Zambia and Zimbabwe. It was the first major international charity to shift its international headquarters from a base in the affluent North – London, to a capital in the global South – Johannesburg. The first international chair of trustees elected under the new process was an African woman; the international chief executive who followed Salil was an agriculturalist from Nepal. Seated around ActionAid's top governance table now you'll find representatives from national boards that ActionAid has created and is supporting in Malawi, Guatemala, India, Sierra Leone, Greece, Ghana, Denmark, USA, Australia, Uganda, Kenya, the UK and others. ActionAid's international governance system enjoys all the colours of the rainbow and all the flavours of an African street market. Though it started in the UK, British trustees are determinedly and deliberately thin on the ground. At one of my last board meetings there were more Indians and Brazilians than Brits. Experience to date seems to indicate that ActionAid's board now does its job rather better too. In many countries the new ActionAid boards have been able to secure top brains and experienced campaigners for change of a quality that would have been hard to find and attract if we'd only been fishing in British local waters. These new, developing trustees include many academics, politicians, business leaders, legal specialists and opinion formers.
Diversity brings better decisions by definition. In each country ActionAid's new leaders know where the poverty is and what's causing it, because they come from it and see it in their daily lives. It also brings credibility and acceptance too, as individual national ActionAids around the world are increasingly seen wherever they work as self-regulating independent members of a southern-led international family, not as agents of British or American influence. In today's volatile international environment, this makes a huge difference.
Continued in column 2, above.
A picture of diversity: ActionAid's first international meeting in 1982 boasted just 11 senior staff, all white males, all relatively well-to-do, mostly from the south of England. ActionAid's Bangkok strategy meeting in 2004 (above) had 140 participants from 40 countries, 50 per cent women, mostly Africans and Asians. It also had a much higher level of debate.

But will this move increase the impact that ActionAid's donors will have on reducing poverty? Without doubt, it will. ActionAid's response to poverty includes not just the traditional pillars of rights to education, health, land, food, water, livelihood, reproductive and women's rights but also the right to sound democratic governance at all levels. By building exemplary boards at the country level ActionAid is sending a strong, consistent message to the people and political leaders of each country where it works – a message that proclaims the importance of solid, just and equitable governance. And the system will train and develop new generations of men and women from all backgrounds, each well versed in good governance and able to recognise what it is, and what it does, when it's permitted to flourish.

Cocaine turns to "powder" in Corozal drug case
Headline	— 15 February 2013	— by Albert J. Ciego
2 Belizeans and a Mexican walk; police refuse to say what exactly the "powder" substance was
Two Belizeans and a Mexican walked out of the Corozal Magistrate's Court today as free men after the cocaine drug trafficking case against them fell apart when the police's National Forensics found that the supposed cocaine was not cocaine at all, but an unspecified powder.
The men were charged with trafficking 400 grams of cocaine.
The police said that it "was not an illicit substance," and when contacted by Amandala as to exactly what the powder substance was determined to be, Amandala was told by a high official that no further comment would be made on the matter.
The magistrate immediately struck out the case, and Alfonso Iglesias, 51, of Consejo Road Corozal; Jose Nunez, 51, businessman of San Pedro Town; and Mexican National Pedro Alfonso Betancourt Reed, 52, were free to go.
The vehicle, which belonged to Reed and in which the alleged drugs were found, was returned to him by the Corozal police.
Police contend that about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 7 of last year, they were on mobile patrol in Baeza's Layout in Corozal and saw a SUV parked in front of C&B's Bar; they conducted a routine search.
Police said that during the search, they found 6 small bags of cocaine in the vehicle. At the time, the three men were in the vehicle when the search was conducted.
The men were immediately taken into custody, and the SUV taken to the Corozal Police Station. In the station, further searches were conducted on the vehicle, and police said that in this second search they found another black plastic bag under the passenger seat containing twelve small plastic bags with cocaine. The drugs were all weighed, and they amounted to about 400 grams.
The men were then jointly charged with drug trafficking.
However, the case for the prosecution fell apart when the drugs reportedly tested negative for cocaine.
The drugs normally are kept in the Formation Exhibit Rooms in the police station in the district before being sent to National Forensics for testing.

Features on each member of the 1990 Syracuse Chiefs, AAA affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Luis Sojo never sat back and relaxed. There was always a chance he'd be needed.
Ed Sprague got healthy, and then played in 11 major league seasons.

This is the perfect two piece shorts set in blue and white, to take along on vacation. It is made from an exceptionally-high quality cotton fabric that feels great during the spring and summer seasons, is easy to maintain and that looks wonderful when you wear it. The top is a short sleeved one that slips easily over the head. It has a simple round neckline and is a short cut, exposing a small sliver of the wearer's abdomen. The garment has a beautiful blue print that is East Indian-influenced, over solid white. The shorts have a blue printed waistband and two slanted pockets. Their hemline ends several inches below the bottom of the hip line.


Basketball has always been an escape for Finley. He lives in gray, broken Bellmont, a town ruled by the Irish Mob, drugs, violence, and racially charged rivalries. At home, he takes care of his disabled grandfather, and at school he's called "White Rabbit", the only white kid on the varsity basketball team. He's always dreamed of getting out somehow with his girlfriend, Erin. But until then, when he puts on his number 21, everything seems to make sense.
Russ has just moved to the neighborhood. A former teen basketball phenom from a privileged home, his life has been turned upside down by tragedy. Cut off from everyone he knows, he now answers only to the name Boy21—his former jersey number—and has an unusual obsession with outer space.
As their final year of high school brings these two boys together, "Boy21" may turn out to be the answer they both need.


My article published today in The Hindu, was heavily abbreviated. The more detailed original article in about 1200 words is easier to understand. The petition to teach religiously neutral math, and related material is already on this blog. A draft of a more detailed paper on "Eternity and Infinity" delineating how the West misunderstood Indian math, and its consequences for science today is also posted online for those who want to go into depth about the connections of present-day formal math to church theology on the one hand, and its failures in present-day science on the other. Imitating the West in mathematics is bad idea.
My article on the claim that Vasco "discovered" India. On the religious and legal "Doctrine of Christian Discovery" any land belongs to the first Christian to sight it whose Christian duty it is to murder or enslave the original inhabitants. That is what happened in the Americas and Australia, but that is a genocide we celebrate not condemn. The original article, and the one published in Nai Dunia, with changes below.
A partial (but documented) English version has appeared online in Frontier Weekly as The "discovery" of India (part 1).

The best smart speakers 2019: which one should you buy?
There's a catch though – the free service will be ad-supported, so you won't be able to listen to music uninterrupted without upgrading to a Premium subscription. This is similar to Spotify, which allows you to stream music for free in exchange for more limited features and in-app adverts.
It's likely that the functionality of this free version of YouTube Music will be limited compared to the paid version. In a press release sent to TechRadar and other outlets, YouTube says the that Music Premium users can "request specific albums, songs, artists, and playlists on-demand" as well as "unlimited skips and song replay."
These features will probably be unavailable to people using the free version of YouTube Music with their Google Home speakers.
Even so, the ability to listen to music "right out-of-the-box" without signing up to a paid streaming platform subscription, will probably be a welcome addition to anyone who's thinking of buying a Google Home speaker.
You can also get a 30-day free trial of YouTube Music Premium if you want to try the additional features before you buy.
To set up YouTube Music as your default music streaming platform, you need to head to the Account Settings section of your Google Home app. Go to Services, and then Music, where you can select YouTube Music from a list of providers.

The newest addition to the Acuity flatbed range offers added flexibility, increased sustainability and enhanced print quality. It's the first time that LED-curing printers have been made available within the Acuity flatbed range.
The Acuity LED 40 builds on award-winning greyscale piezoelectric printing and inherits state-of-the-art technology developed for higher volume printers to ensure exceptional levels of quality, says Fujifilm in a statement.
Ideal for both growing mid-volume print service providers, and existing Acuity customers who want to upgrade, the series provides production capacity of up to 15,000 m2 per year, at speeds of up to 53 m2 per hour. The standard model enables users to print on media or objects of any size up to 1.25 x 2.5 metres, while with the X2 (double bed size) model, this increases to 2.5 x 3.08 metres. With the ability to print on a range of almost any rigid or flexible material, the series demonstrates the application versatility of the Select 20 range as well as introducing the added benefits of improved quality reduced consumable costs of UV lamps and the reduced energy consumption of an LED curing system.
The Acuity LED 40 features a new LED ink, Uvijet KL, and is available with four, six or eight colour channels. Users have the option to add light inks and varnish for high-value applications and can also upgrade to Fujifilm's brightest white UV ink, providing the highest image quality in slower print modes, making it ideal for photographic and fine art applications. All of Fujifilm's Uvijet inks are Greenguard Gold certified, so prints can be used safely in schools, hospitals or retail environments.
Fujifilm says the series features an added benefit of instant turn-on for immediate printing, eliminating the need to wait for the printer-to-warm up, which is particularly beneficial to customers who do not print all day.
The Acuity LED 40 will be showcased for the first time in Europe on the Fujifilm stand 2K11 at C!Print in Lyon from 5th to 7th February 2019.

Protesters die-in for health care

Protesters hold cardboard tombstones Sunday at Pulaski Park in Northampton to protest the American Health Care Act. GAZETTE STAFF/JACK SUNTRUP '; }

NORTHAMPTON — Despite recent news cycles not dominated by health care — think Russia, "covfefe" and climate change — the fate of the American health system remains very much an issue.
On Sunday, about 60 activists held a "die-in" at Pulaski Park in Northampton, part of nationwide demonstrations organizers say took place in cities from Boston to Honolulu. This die-in was organized by members of the Pioneer Valley Women's March.
"Every day there's something new and riveting," said Rachel Maiore, 48, of Northampton, one of the organizers. "We need to keep the pressure on this (issue)."
The activists held cardboard tombstones under light rain. One said "Obamacared Why don't U?" Another said "Killed by the GOP." Someone played taps on a trumpet and the protesters lay down on the grass.
The whole protest was over in about 20 minutes.
The die-in came on the heels of recent scoring from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which predicted the American Health Care Act would create 23 million more uninsured Americans by 2026.
The budget office also said the legislation would lower premiums for younger adults by allowing them sparser coverage, and would saddle unhealthy, older and poorer consumers with exorbitant out-of-pocket costs.
The measure advanced through the Republican-controlled House on May 4 by a razor-thin margin after a false start earlier this year.
The legislation will likely change in the Senate, where several GOP senators have raised concerns about the millions of people expected to be uninsured and changes to Medicaid — which include halting extra federal funds for the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, and giving fixed sums of money to states each year instead of open-ended payments.
The legislation means an $834 billion cut over the next decade to Medicaid, which would produce 14 million, or 17 percent, fewer Medicaid recipients than projected, according to the CBO.
"The pressure's really about that — making it politically toxic for a politician to pick this up," said Maiore, who is a stay-at-home mom and only got involved in politics after President Trump's inauguration.
Making the measure unpalatable to Massachusetts representatives will not be a challenge. Both of the state's U.S. senators, Elizabeth Warren and Edward Markey, have voiced opposition to the legislation, and U.S. Reps. James McGovern, D-Worcester, and Richard Neal, D-Springfield, voted against the measure in the House.
Another issue, said Deborah Levenson, 65, of Hadley, is whether the Massachusetts Legislature will approve legislation creating a single-payer health care program in the state.
"The financing for this system is doable," she told the crowd. "It is spelled out in the legislation that is currently pending in Massachusetts."
She said a "reasonable and equitable" payroll tax would lower costs and expand coverage.
She chided the Legislature, controlled by Democrats, for failing to approve single-payer in years past.
The state Democratic Party at its convention Saturday approved a plank in its platform calling for single-payer.
