8EC Takeover Update
Aurora is prepared to conditionally increase its Bid Value Amount to $0.82 per share and would support a material special dividend being paid by 8EC.
Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), as responsible entity of the Aurora Dividend Income Trust (ARSN 151 947 732) (ADIT or Fund), notes the 'Sale and Distribution of Company's Assets' ASX announcement made by 8IP Emerging Companies Limited (8EC or Company) on 16 May 2019.
Aurora lodged a copy of its Bidder's Statement with ASIC, 8EC and ASX on 17 May 2019 relating to its takeover bid for 8EC shares (Bid) and is still considering the impact of 8EC's recent Sale and Distribution announcement on the Bid. In the meantime, Aurora notes that 8EC has sufficient reserves1 and cash2 to immediately declare, and pay, a special dividend of $0.20 under the Corporations Act. As such, Aurora is prepared to commit not to rely on the conditions of the Bid to the extent necessary to allow 8EC to immediately distribute, as a special dividend, $0.20 per share during the Bid period.
Further, if 8EC immediately declares such a special dividend, Aurora would be prepared to increase the Bid Value Amount under its scrip bid from $0.75 per share to $0.82 per share (less the amount of any dividend payment, pursuant to section 11.7(c) of the Bidder's Statement), with the NTA floor moving by a corresponding amount.3
Aurora believes that this would provide a materially improved outcome for all 8EC shareholders whilst also being consistent with the agenda promoted by 8EC's directors.
In Aurora's view, this proposal if adopted by 8EC would be superior to 8EC's proposal as it would provide shareholders with: 1. immediate access to over 20% of their share of the Company's assets; and 2. a simple mechanism for each shareholder to realise the rest of their investment when they want to by accepting into a fund that provides off-market redemptions at NTA4 on request.
1 8EC advised that it has a profit reserve (from which it can pay dividends) of $9,241,181 as at 31 December 2018 according to the half yearly financial statements lodged on 21 February 2019 which would be sufficient to pay a dividend of at least $0.20 per share 2 8EC advised that it had cash and cash equivalents of $0.48 per share at 30 April 2019 per its ASX Announcement on 16 May 2019. 3 That is, Aurora's NTA condition in section 11.8(a) would require 8EC to have NTA of $0.82 per 8EC Share. If 8EC were to declare $0.20 special dividend (or any other amount) its Minimum NTA condition would also be decreased by a corresponding amount. 4 On the basis that Aurora gains a relevant interest of at least 50%.

Aurora Dividend Income Trust (ADIT) – Off-market redemptions
On 5 April 2019, Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), as responsible entity of the Aurora Dividend Income Trust (ARSN 151 947 732) ("ADIT" or "Fund"), announced ADIT's intention to make an off-market scrip takeover bid (Bid) for all of the shares in 8IP Emerging Companies Limited ("8EC"). As a result of this Bid, Aurora would like to note the following temporary change to ADIT's off-market redemption facilities.

ABW Purported General Meeting
Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), in its capacity as the responsible entity of the Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ABW or Fund), refers to the previous announcements on this subject that it made on 7, 8, 14 and 16 January 2019. Aurora advises that it has been informed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) that ASIC has, contrary to the submissions made by Aurora, entered a change of the responsible entity of the Fund from Aurora to Primary Securities Ltd (Primary) in ASIC's record of registration for the Fund.
This change in the record, however, does not determine the validity of the purported change of responsible entity. That will depend on the determination of the validity of the purported meeting of 15 January 2019 and the business transacted at that meeting.
Accordingly, in light of the confusion caused by Primary's conduct, Aurora is in the process of preparing an application to the Court to determine the validity of the purported meeting of 15 January 2019 and the business transacted at that meeting. Aurora continues to maintain that the meeting was not properly called and held, and that the resolutions are of no legal effect. This position is not affected in any way by the acts of ASIC in entering a change in responsible entity in its record of registration for the Fund. Accordingly, Aurora will not hand over the assets and records of the Fund to Primary unless the Court determines, contrary to Aurora's views, in favour of the validity of the meeting and its resolutions.
The current lack clarity concerning the position of the responsible entity of the Fund will therefore continue until the matter is determined by the Court.
Purported General Meeting – Update
Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), in its capacity as the responsible entity of the Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ABW or Fund), refers to the previous Announcements on this subject that it made on 7, 8 and 14 January 2019.
Further to those Announcements, Aurora informs the market and investors that, Aurora has received a letter from Primary Securities Limited (Primary) informing Aurora that at the purported meeting which Primary held yesterday in Canberra (Purported Meeting), proposed resolutions 1, 2 and 3 in the notice for the Purported Meeting (seeking to remove Aurora as responsible entity, appoint Primary in its place and make changes to the ABW Constitution) were passed. As previously announced, Aurora does not consider that the Purported Meeting was properly called. Accordingly, Aurora considers that the resolutions are invalid and of no effect.
Aurora has written to ASIC, informing ASIC of this position and requesting ASIC not to register the resolutions or the change in responsible entity or Constitution flowing from them.
Aurora's position is that, as a trustee, it should not spend the Fund's money establishing the validity or otherwise of resolutions which have been propounded by others. It is Aurora's position that it is incumbent on Primary, as the proponent of the Purported Meeting, to establish the validity of the Purported Meeting and its business and to this end Aurora has invited Primary to commence appropriate Court proceedings to which Aurora would be a party.
Until the validity of these resolutions is established, Aurora does not propose to abandon the ABW unit holders by relinquishing the position as responsible entity to Primary or those standing behind Primary.
ABW General Meeting Request Update
Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), in its capacity as the responsible entity of the Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ABW or Fund), refers to its announcements on this subject that it made on 7 and 8 January 2019. Further to its announcements on this subject, Aurora informs the market and investors that, as at the time of this announcement, it has received no response from Primary Securities Limited (Primary) concerning the issues raised in our earlier announcements.
Notwithstanding this lack of response and Aurora's concerns as to its validity, Aurora understands from the communications between Primary and Aurora's registrar, that Primary still intends to hold this meeting.
Aurora has written to Primary advising them of Aurora's continued concerns and requesting that, if Primary proposes to rely on these purported resolutions to take any further steps, it should seek court orders establishing the validity of the purported meeting and resolutions before taking those steps and reminding Primary that Aurora will be a necessary party to any such proceedings.
Accordingly, Aurora maintains its previous advice that members should not attend or take any action in relation to the purported meeting and that Aurora does not recognise the validity of the purported meeting and considers that it is not bound by any purported resolution or other business that may be taken at that purported meeting.
ABW General Meeting Request
Aurora Funds Management Limited (Aurora), in its capacity as the responsible entity of the Aurora Absolute Return Fund (ABW or Fund), hereby announces that today it received in the post a Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum (Materials) from Primary Securities Limited (Primary) for a general meeting (Meeting) of unitholders to consider a number resolution's in relation to the Fund, including:
1. Amendments to the Fund's Constitution – Special Resolution;
2. Removal of Aurora as Responsible Entity – Ordinary Resolution;
3. Appointment of Primary as Responsible Entity – Ordinary Resolution; and
4. Winding up of the Fund – Extraordinary Resolution.
Aurora is currently reviewing the Meeting Materials, however it notes the following:
▪ The Materials refer to members holding more than 5% of ABW, however, the identity of those members has not been disclosed. Aurora is therefore unclear on who has called the Meeting and questions why the Materials omitted this important information; and
▪ Based on the Materials provided, the proposed date for the unitholder meeting, being 15 January 2019, does not appear to satisfy the notice period requirements for holding a unitholder meeting, in contravention of the Corporations Act.
The Board of Aurora is still considering the validity of the Meeting and Materials and will update the market shortly. In the meantime, Aurora recommends that unitholders take no action at this time.
Liquidity Update
On the 22 March 2018, Aurora Funds Management Limited ("Aurora") as responsible entity of Aurora Absolute Return Fund ("ABW") and Aurora Fortitude Absolute Return Fund ("AFARF" or "Master Fund") announced an update regarding the redemption facility for the 31 March 2018 quarter and the 30 June 2018 quarter;
"The redemption ceiling for the combined redemptions for the 31 March 2018 quarter and the 30 June 2018 quarter will be 10% of the total FUM as at 30 June 2018."
In order to facilitate the processing of redemption requests in circumstances where Aurora considers it undesirable to realise fund investments, Aurora may use its own funds to acquire units for which redemption requests have been received. Where it does so the units will not be cancelled but purchased by Aurora for a cash consideration equal to the applicable Redemption Price. Aurora's capacity to proceed in this way is limited by both its financial resources and by the limitations on acquiring units in listed managed investment schemes set out in Chapter 6 of the Corporations Act.
The redemption requests are currently being processed by the share registry, with payment to follow.
Aurora confirms that ABW unitholders and Master Fund unitholders will receive approximately 39% of their outstanding redemption monies based on total redemptions as at 30 June 2018.

I have been enjoying Chester's old churchyards. I feel a sense of peace, walking here.
A churchyard is a reminder of life's transience.
Some of the churches go back as far as the 9th century; they display Anglo-Saxon and Norman architectural features, and of successive periods: Gothic, and Gothic Revival.
Sacred places, layered with history, and some no longer sacred: deconsecrated, their gravestones lying in spaces no longer visited or valued for their religious meanings.
I'm drawn time and again to the old ledger stones. Moss and lichen-covered, weather-worn. I brush snow or winter's brittle leaves from their surface. Nature gradually subsumes each stone back into herself, gently eroding the carved letters and the memories they represent. Perhaps our attempts to memorialize must all ultimately fail.
I can just make out the name of a 6 year old girl, and below it trace with my finger the age of the father who died some years later. I imagine for a moment his grief at the child's passing, before he too was gone. Their lives – joys and sorrows – a fading epitaph.
Moss grows within the weather-softened letterforms; bowl, counter and stem are ccented in living green and yellow. The soft rain has caused water to pool in shallow serifs.
Human foot-fall has worn away entire words. But it's this very erasure, and the patina of time, which entrances.
I am physically within a few feet of the stone where some three hundred years ago a stonemason crouched with his tools. What were his thoughts and feelings as his chisel struck the stone surface? Did he wonder who might touch these letters 300 years hence?

Just call me Baldrick. Because I have a plan more cunning than "a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University"
There are trusted people in my life who have no interest in earning free rewards, people like my mum, best mate, neice, etc. So what if, with their full knowledge and agreement, I referred them for a card which they never use themselves. But they request a supplementary card for me (possibly additional rewards) and then I spend on it and manage the entire account on their behalf, making all the payments ?
1. how can they transfer their points to me ? I'm hoping you experts have already got ideas for some convoluted myriad of transfers which would enable the points to eventually get into an account with my name on it.
2. can we setup the direct debit from a bank account which is in my name and not theirs ? less of an issue as I can always transfer money to them, but DD is always better.
1) They can't transfer points to someone else - as you are the one who gets all the points as they are on your account via supplementary card.
Darren I didn't make my idea clear. I want to refer them and get the referral. Then they get their own account and their own card, and earn their own membership rewards. But they won't use their card because they are not bothered. Instead they will get me a supplementary card on their account, so my spend will earn their membership rewards; my spend will hit their spend threshold and I will pay all their bills.
On the trust and rogue spend elements, the only thing I would say is just to be ultra ultra cautious about it - not really because of trust, but just because of any potential credit rating complications it might cause them and because people aren't always comfortable discussing financial stuff openly.
Re transferring the points to you, it depends what you want to do with them. I'm honestly not sure if Amex still let you transfer points to someone else when closing an account, but let's assume that's not possible.
Rather than trying to transfer directly from their amex account to your airline/hotel account, I'd just do it indirectly.
On the airline front, Avios is an option (if you got a bit creative with the 'household' account), similarly Etihad would work I think.
Re hotels, Hilton and Marriott would be no problem whatsoever (both allow free transfers) and Radisson can be done too though there might be a couple more hoops there I think.
Of course, if you chose Marriott, you could then transfer from your Marriott account to the airline programme of your choice.
johnbrowell and Aston100 like this.

Thanks very much Joe. I had wondered about Hilton as an intermediary, and can see from my own account how simple it would be.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a concern for consumers and industry alike, though for different reasons. Everyone has a vested stake in real dialogue and creating strategies to preserve antibiotic efficacy. This presentation is the keynote to such a dialog and conversation. Dr. King, The Ohio State University, shares background information on antimicrobial resistance and offers questions to stimulate the dialogue.
Summary: How is antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine happening today and what is in store tomorrow? Dr. W. Ron DeHaven, American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Executive Vice-President & CEO, outlines how antimicrobial are used today in food animals (treatment, control, prevention, growth Promotion/feed efficiency). Dr. DeHaven suggests that the future of change must involve veterinarians in supportive roles of research and policy creation.
Summary: What are antimicrobials and how are they used? Kurt Stevenson, MD MPH, takes a ground view of antimicrobial use in humans and what paths physicians take in the course of treatment. Dr. Stevenson outlines human antibiotic use (200-300 million antibiotics are prescribed annually!) and what steps are being taken to evaluate their use over time and in various settings.
Summary: Antimicrobials are used in plants? The nature of bacterial plant diseases and the economic necessity of growing highly disease-susceptible cultivars contributes to antibiotic use. Dr. George Sundin provides information on antimicrobial use in plant agriculture and what is being done to better understand the risks and outcomes.
What is Antimicrobial Resistance? How Does It Develop & Where Does It Come From?
Summary: How does antimicrobial resistance develop? Dr. Singer presents a platform of information to help understand the definition of resistance, how resistance works, and how it might go away. One of Dr. Singer's take aways: Be prepared for the unintended consequences as it is hard to predict the diversity of pressures that can select for resistance.
Summary: What is the environmental impact of antimicrobial use? Dr. Singer looks into the relationship of resistance and residue as they flow into the environment. He also looks into the microbial relationship with those residues. He aims to address the question "How much antimicrobial residue is in the environment?"
Summary: How can antimicrobial resistance information be captured and what happens with the data? Dr. Patrick McDermott provides an overview of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). The structure and governance of NARMS is presented and many of the goals NARMS aims to achieve are highlighted.
Summary: How can the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) work on farms? Dr. Mary Torrence, USDA/ARS, describes a pilot study using NARMS to build trust, increase communications, bring people together, and trying to build science to drive policy. The pilot study has built up an experience base across a consortium of universities and industry participants. A key take away: Voluntary antimicrobial resistance monitoring on-farm is complicated and resource intensive.
Summary: What is the pharmaceutical industry's perspective on antimicrobial restrictions? Dr. Rick Sibbel, Merck Animal Health, brings to the front the perspective that agriculture's future is being steered by organizations and people that are outside of agriculture. Consumers want quality and information about their food. Policy and legislative bodies want to insure their constituents are taken care of. And global changes in population are putting pressure on resources across the planet. And there are no simple solutions: Complexity is the norm.
Summary: What is the swine industry's perspective on antimicrobial restrictions? Dr. Harry Snelson, American Association of Swine Veterinarians, starts by outlining the difference between legislation and regulation and how that plays a part in the swine industry standards of practice. Dr. Snelson also outlines some of the proposed legislation and what the wording means.
Summary: Dr. Mary Torrence shares what progress has been done on nationally funded antimicrobial resistance research projects. Some of the influences on these projects include Congressional reports, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), and the U.S. Public Health Action Plan. What are some of the outcomes? New funding models are needed, strengthening collaboration, and putting in place infrastructure before it is really needed.
Summary: What is the future of antimicrobials? Dr. Rich Carnevale seeks to share is view on the regulatory environment for antimicrobial development. He also touches on the public perception of antimicrobials and alternatives to antimicrobials.
Summary: What are the future strategies to develop alternatives to antibiotics for agriculture? There is a drive by consumers to want antibiotic free food. But antibiotics are critical for animal health. What are some solutions that can remove the antibiotics and maintain animal health? Dr. Cyril Gay highlights what is being done to develop antibiotic alternatives, sharing some of the outcomes from recent conferences.
Summary: What are the issues in developing alternatives to antimicrobials? The world's population is increasing in number, and needing corresponding increases in food, many times that food is meat. Dr. Aoife Corrigan, Alltech, addresses some of the challenges, like food security and traceability, effective nutrition utilization, and transportation of food.


VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J Trojan has been infiltrating systems everywhere, and your computer could be next! The malicious application does not have an interface, can circumvent security tools, using the rootkit method, and can implement Windows system processes to perform highly latent and cunning tasks. Besides this, VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J is a malware downloader, which means that this malicious tool could insert such malicious applications as adware, keyloggers or worms, all enabled to record or steal your personal information. So, unless you remove Trojan VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J from your computer right now, it could get infected with even more malignant programs, and your personal information could potentially be recorded by malicious third parties.
To transcribe VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J, this Trojan has been created using Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), and its processes can be injected to regular Windows ones, which means that it could be extremely hard to detect and remove VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J from your system. This treacherous application can also implement Internet Relay Chat (IRC) service, through which the Trojan's schemers could spread the infection. All in all, VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J's files are made up of executables, one of which – java.exe, – is cloaked and uses the name of a legitimate Java Runtime application, enabled to control some Internet browsers' functions.
VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J's java.exe may tamper with your system in many more ways, as it can hijack, delete processes, copy malignant files, modify Firewall functionality, runtime policies, and is the one to blame for your computer's connection to remote servers. Another infection's executables is windo.exe, and this file implements the rootkit, hiding VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J from removal. It is very unfortunate, but because of this implementation, most Windows users will not stand a chance at successful manual VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J's removal. The files will be hidden from easy detection, and it will be extremely hard to separate real and fake cloaked executable java.exe.
Up-to-date automatic removal tools can be extremely helpful, when having VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J deleted, because they have enough information on rootkit Trojans and their removal tricks. Sadly, old, out-of-date tools will not have enough attributes to delete this malicious application. So, we recommend updating, or better yet, installing security tools, which will remove VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J in no time.
Quick & tested solution for VirTool:MSIL/Injector.J removal.


Primal Carnage will release later this year for PC, and we have a new bloody trailer to get you excited! Players will be able to choose between 5 human and 5 dinosaur classes for a battle to the death! Read on if you dare.
Prepare for some prehistoric mayhem as Lukewarm Media today released the first character reveal trailer for its highly-anticipated human vs. dinosaur multiplayer game Primal Carnage, launching on PC later this year. With five human and five dinosaur classes to rip each other apart with, the Pyromaniac and the Carnotaurus represent a mere sampling of the havoc you can expect to unleash with Primal Carnage.
With his custom Flamesaw (a flamethrower with a chainsaw melee attack), the Pyromaniac deserves his name. Spewing flames is effective for keeping dinosaurs at bay but only at medium distances…his chainsaw is all for up-close encounters. When ranged destruction is needed, the Pyro keeps a few grenades on his belt for just such a purpose.
The Carnotaurus is the lurking menace of the dinosaur team. While lacking the size of the mighty T-Rex, the Carno makes up for its smaller stature with incredible speed and brute force, breaking up crowds with his powerful charge ability and sharp horns. While the carno can run all over the battle field, his flanks are vulnerable, giving the mercenaries a window of opportunity against this speedy bruiser…but watch out for his bite, as his hatchet-like maw can dish out serious death.
Get ready for a savage multiplayer experience unlike anything you've ever experienced in Primal Carnage, a class-based online action game that throws 65 million years of evolution to the wind, locking humans and dinosaurs together in brutal combat. With Primal Carnage, players hunt AND are hunted, and must choose between defending themselves against a slew of deadly prehistoric creatures with an arsenal of today's weapons, or decimating humans into piles of sinew as vicious carnivores of all sizes and variety.
Primal Carnage joins Reverb Publishing's growing roster of titles, which includes the smash hit Dungeon Defenders, the recently released Jeremy McGrath's Offroad and JAM Live Music Arcade, as well as the upcoming Sanctum 2, Beatbuddy, Black Knight Sword and much more.
You can visit the Luke Warm Media website to learn more about the game.

Take extra caution when the road is covered with reds, oranges and yellows.
As the autumn days pass, more leaves fall onto roadways, covering traffic lines, markings on the pavement and even hazardous pot holes. And if it rains, wet leaves will cause your vehicle to be more likely to slip across the roadway. Take extra caution when the road is covered with reds, oranges and yellows.
The fall is breeding season for deer, so it's more likely that you'll see more of them alongside the road, especially in groups. See more tips on how to avoid an animal-vehicle collision here.
Temperatures will start to drop low over night, leading to morning frost. If you travel in the early morning, watch out for hazardous icy spots on the road, especially on bridges, overpasses and shady areas. In addition, be sure to clear any frost on your windshield before you start to drive.
Chilly, fall mornings often can lead to fog on roadways and in areas with hills, mountains, trees and water. Fog is dangerous, as it can decrease visibility while driving. On a foggy day, use your low beam headlights instead of your high beams, which is a common mistake when driving through foggy conditions. Drive slowly and leave plenty of distance between you and other cars.
Autumn is when our clocks 'fall back,' so there will be earlier sunsets and reduced visibility. It's hard for people to prepare for such a drastic change like this, so keep it in mind as we get deeper into fall. Your driving habits may change, as it may be darker during a time when you're used to driving in daylight.

Football team bounces back after rough start, looks to star players to excel
Elizabeth Ambre, Varsity Writer|September 18, 2015
Kathryn Ercolani
The offense gets set to start the play in a win over DeLaSalle.
The BSM football team is well on their way toward success this 2015 season. With a 43-22 win against long-time rival DeLaSalle last Friday night, the Red Knights are floating on cloud nine and looking forward to the rest of their season. "Our team has reached and exceeded expectations this year. After losing so many essential seniors last year, a lot of people thought we would have a down year. However, to nobody's expectations, we are 2-2 and on a roll," junior captain Eric Wilson said.
The squad has faced two tight losses against Orono and Cooper, but redeemed themselves by defeating Irondale and DeLaSalle. "Cooper was a great game, obviously we lost, which was very tough especially to lose in that manner, but the atmosphere of the game, and the intensity with which everyone played was remarkable." senior captain Charlie Wolfe said. "It was great to see the team bounce back when everyone was saying we were overmatched and we had just been smoked by Orono, but we came out and played with one of the better teams in the state."
The captains have gone above and beyond to be great role models for their teammates. "The captains have been really good leaders this year; they always set high standards for all players on the field and create a great team dynamic," junior quarterback Will Whitmore said.
Not only have the captains been the glue that's kept the team intact and set on their goals this 2015 season, but the coaches have also devoted themselves to drive their players to improve each and every day. "Our coaches have been great this year, they work really hard at diagramming the other teams' plays and game planning to give us our best chance to win. They also help us work on fundamentals, as well as by being supportive and helpful if anybody is going through problems on the field," Charlie Wolfe said.
Although the season hasn't hit full throttle, captain Eric Wilson believes his team is on a path of great potential this 2015 season. "We will be smaller than a lot of teams we play this year, so we will face adversity. However, we have athletes that can run and play with anybody in the state," Wilson said.

In the US, there are electronic voting-machines that leave no paper trail. There is literally no way to verify that those machines have counted truly. Multiple studies have shown & there are videos that demonstrate how to hack these machines without leaving a trace.
15 states use these un-verifiable voting machines in their primary elections. Together, these 15 states could amount to about 38%of our voters, which means that there is no way for us to know whether we've chosen the outcome or not.
Not only are the results un-provable but both exit-polling & forensic techniques like CVS analysis suggest that election fraud has occurred. It remains to be seen whether or not our courts or law-enforcement officials will help us by investigating any of this.
Voting-machines & fraud aside, it is undisputed (even by the media) that voter-suppression has taken place in the 2016 primaries. There is no question that massive voter-roll purges & poll-station closures have occurred in Arizona, New York, Puerto Rico, & other primaries. The establishment appears to have no plan to correct these obvious miscarriages of democracy.

Sanders wins concessions in Dem draft platform
Posted on July 3, 2016 July 3, 2016 by Jeffrey L "Jeff" Salisbury
A draft version of the platform was released Friday, amid an ongoing battle to get Sanders to end his presidential campaign and endorse presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
The platform explicitly calls for a $15 minimum wage, a position long espoused by Sanders.
"Democrats believe that the current minimum wage is a starvation wage and must be increased to a living wage," the text reads.
"We believe that Americans should earn at least $15 an hour and have the right to form or join a union. We applaud the approaches taken by states like New York and California. We should raise and index the minimum wage, give all Americans the ability to join a union regardless of where they work, and create new ways for workers to have power in the economy."
Sanders also campaigned on protecting Social Security, which is reflected in the platform's call to "expand" the program. His push to end the death penalty and nix private immigration detention centers also appear in the draft.
The platform includes a vigorous defense of the Postal Service, something that was not mentioned in the 2012 platform. The section calls for, among other things, post offices to allow simple banking services like cashing paychecks — which is something Sanders fought for.
Sanders didn't win all of his concessions, however, with the platform punting on a number of his key priorities, including a full repudiation the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal.

Meteors slamming into the Moon reveal underground water
By Korey Haynes | Published: Monday, April 15, 2019
RELATED TOPICS: THE MOON | WATER
NASA's LADEE spacecraft saw water thrown off the moon's surface after meteor impacts.
NASA/Goddard/Conceptual Image Lab
When NASA astronauts first landed on the Moon in 1969, they saw a desiccated world, bone-dry and devoid of any life-giving water. The Apollo astronauts, planning to stay only a few days, had brought plenty of water for their own needs. So this finding was disappointing for the hazy plans of future lunar outposts, but not immediately concerning.
Decades later, humans have learned that the only economical way to explore space longterm is to use the resources we find along the way. And luckily, we've also now discovered that the Moon, far from being a waterless rock, is in fact simply hiding water beneath its surface. Multiple missions have revealed this precious substance by excavating (read: blowing up) the Moon's surface layers, or by using scanning instruments to find the tell-tale hydrogen and oxygen signatures.
But new research, published April 15 in Nature Geoscience, reveals that this water is being lost to space every time the Moon gets hit with a meteor. That means the water is sitting not far beneath the surface. The authors on this latest research, led by Mehdi Benna from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, used data from NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), which orbited the Moon from October 2013 until April 2014.
Water rising
They found that water spiked in the thin lunar atmosphere at the same times the Moon found itself being pummeled by meteor streams. The idea that the Moon releases water when objects hit it is something humans have known since the first time an Indian spacecraft named Chandrayaan-1 sent a probe hurtling into the Moon's surface, kicking up a lot of dust and a surprising amount of water.
The 33 watery episodes that scientists spied via LADEE yield more detail, especially as they were spread across large swathes of the lunar surface. Based on the size of the meteor shower and the amount of water released, they were able to calculate that the top 3 inches of the Moon's soil is dried out, mostly from being baked during hot lunar days. But beneath this thin layer, the Moon is covered in water fairly evenly.
That's not to say the Moon is soggy beneath the surface. The Moon remains a dry environment. Much of the water excavated during these meteor showers is lost to space, meaning the Moon is steadily losing the water it does have at an estimated 200 metric tons a year. But the fact that our 4.5-billion-year-old Moon still has water to lose is a good sign for those looking forward to lunar settlements – something NASA has its eye on in the near future.

Well…this is gorgeous. You can see that from the photos. A really unique shape of watch, which measures up at 34x42x10mm.

If you like the Novus range then you should be a fan of this Exelar piece.
This is a pre-owned Compu Chron LED watch from the 1970's. This watch is rare and is in good condition. It's cheap because there is some scratching on the red face of the watch. This doesn't detract from the watches charm significantly, and the watch keeps great time and runs well.

Dis-Chem's medical insurance is aimed at SA's 'under-served population' – Here's what it can get you
Compiled by Zakiyah Ebrahim
Dis-Chem's Core plan allows members one general dental check-up per insured party, per annum.
Getty Images/Nataliia Nesterenko
This year, Dis-Chem launched its affordable medical cover for medical needs, including day-to-day GP visits, dentistry, and optometry benefits.
The Core plan is the standard primary healthcare insurance option that provides coverage for a broad spectrum of health needs.
The Plus plan is more comprehensive and includes unlimited access. However, these medical insurance plans are not medical schemes.
This year, Dis-Chem Health, a division of Dis-Chem Pharmacies, announced that it had entered the health insurance market by offering day-to-day cover. Their aim was to provide "affordable primary healthcare to South Africans who don't yet have access."
Said Rui Morais, CFO at Dis-Chem:
"The health and well-being of our community has always been at the heart of our philosophy of caring for our customers… This new offering, under the Dis-Chem Health brand, is entrenched in our belief that affordable private healthcare should be within everyone's reach."
Dis-Chem partnered with Kaelo, a leading company in the health insurance sphere, and Centriq Insurance, a licensed non-life insurer, to deliver primary health medical insurance products that provide universal access to affordable and quality private primary healthcare, said Morais.

Premiums start at R450 per month for adults and R315 per month for children for the Core plan and increase to R620 per month for the Plus plan. Additional cover options are available for accident and medical emergency illness cover.
Take a breather in your busy day with this curated collection of real-life stories, sitdown interviews, everyday tips and expert insights.

READ MORE | Supplement the pay gap when medical aid schemes become unaffordable
South Africa's inequitable healthcare system has made private healthcare too expensive for most people, as the public healthcare system is increasingly overburdened and under-resourced, resulting in delayed and/or inadequate treatment, Dis-Chem said earlier this year. Ever-increasing medical aid premiums coupled with a lack of access to quality public healthcare has led to a strong demand for affordable medical insurance.
"People are prepared to pay for healthcare, and this product is in line with our intention and commitment to play a leading role to extend universal access to a wider and under-served segment of the population," said Morais.

Molecular biomarkers are molecules which can be used as indicators for normal biological processes, pathogenic processes and body's response to pharmacological processes. Molecular biomarkers for cancer detection provide information of an individual's likeliness to develop cancer, provide information on the type of cancer, provide information on optimal drugs that can be used for the treatment of cancer, whether the chances of cancer returning after going into remission persist, etc. Cancer detection molecular biomarkers are usually made up of proteins, however, in recent years the information related to cancer biomarkers has increased rapidly along with developments in gene expression technology has led to the development of DNA-based molecular biomarkers which can provide more specific information and early detection of cancer. With the growing incidence cancer worldwide and rising economic burden caused by cancer is expected to increase demand for early detection of cancer.

Q: pandas style tag give "ValueError: style is not supported for non-unique indices" I would like to give the negative numbers in mine data frame a red color.
But when trying to achieve with the following code
def color_negative_red(val):
    """
    Takes a scalar and returns a string with
    the css property `'color: red'` for negative
    strings, black otherwise.
    """
    color = 'red' if val < 0 else 'black'
    return 'color: %s' % color

s = df05.style.applymap(color_negative_red)

print(s)

I got the following Value Error "ValueError: style is not supported for non-unique indices."
Where must i look to get the right output?

A: I believe you need unique default index values by DataFrame.reset_index and drop=True:
s = df05.reset_index(drop=True).style.applymap(color_negative_red)

A: This can be one of two possible problems, either your index has duplicate names (check with df.index) or your columns have duplicate names (check with df.columns).
If your index has duplicates, do:
df = df.reset_index(drop=True)

If your columns have duplicates, do:
df.columns = range(len(df.columns))

Achraf Hakimi Ready To Become Inter Icon As Nerazzurri Prepare Real Madrid Payment, Italian Media Report
Achraf Hakimi is ready to become a pillar of Inter's future team, according to a report in the Italian media today.
The wing-back is enjoying an excellent moment both for his club and country, with Morocco officially securing qualification for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tonight thanks to results elsewhere.
As per Calciomercato.com, Hakimi's agent Alejandro Camano confirmed earlier this week that decision to join Inter came from the 22-year-old himself.
He finally signed for the Nerazzurri after Piero Ausilio had followed him for two years and now is on course to become an icon at the club.
Inter must pay Real Madrid their first €10 million instalment of Hakimi's €40 million transfer fee before the end of March, the report continued, in order to help secure a licence for UEFA competitions next year.
They were able to agree a deferral with Los Blancos following the onset of their financial difficulties – thanks in no small part to the clubs' great relations – but they will deliver the necessary money before next week's deadline.
Hakimi's signing has helped transform Antonio Conte's side into Serie A title favourites this season, with the wing-back having provided six goals and six assists in all competitions.
CM said he had established himself as one of the best full-backs or wing-backs in Europe, capable of making the difference in attack but also an improved player in defence (thanks to Conte's work on him).

Title Notes:
The original Captain Marvel in THE SHAZAM! ARCHIVES.
Simply by uttering the word "Shazam," boy radio broadcaster Billy Batson was magically transformed into the world's mightiest mortal - the original Captain Marvel.
DC Comics compiles widely-sought stories of one of the most successful and nostalgia- inspiring comics of all time into the hardcover SHAZAM! ARCHIVES. Volume I contains Captain Marvel's earliest adventures from WHIZ COMICS #2-15. The stories reprinted feature the origins of Captain Marvel and his deadliest foe Sivana, their first battles, plus additional Captain Marvel adventures, totalling 15 stories.
Most of these stories have never been reprinted and sell for thousands of dollars in their original form. This elegant volume also contains the first appearances of Captain Marvel as Captain Thunder from the rare "ashcan" editions of FLASH COMICS and THRILL COMICS that few fans have ever seen.
Awareness of Captain Marvel will continue to escalate with the forthcoming release of the all-new graphic novel THE POWER OF SHAZAM! by Jerry Ordway, reintroducing Captain Marvel and planting him firmly in the DC Universe.
THE SHAZAM! ARCHIVES Volume 3 Hardcover.
With one mighty word — "Shazam!" — young Billy Batson becomes the World's Mightiest Mortal! THE SHAZAM! ARCHIVES Volume Three is a 216-page hardcover continuing the early adventures of Captain Marvel — written by C.C. Beck and others, with art by Beck, George Tuska, Mac Raboy and Pete Costanza.
The adventures of Captain Marvel really start hitting their stride in this volume, featring an introduction by movie producer Michael Uslan and reprinting stories from AMERICA'S GREATEST COMICS #1, CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #2 & 3, WHIZ COMICS #21-24 (1941). With the release of the Captain Marvel movie serial, Fawcett Comics began to diversify its top super-hero with a Captain Marvel Club for its readers, merchandise and the comics introduction of characters from the serial.
Volume Three finds the "Big Red Cheese" facing his most nefarious foe, Dr. Sivana, who shrinks poor Billy Batson and the lovely Beautia down to insect size, where they face a myriad of microscopic menaces! Sivana also returns in a second tale with a mysterious paralyzing gas to confound our hero, and, just for good measure, a third story as the brains behind a primitive foe that goes by the name of the Beast Ruler. But that's not all! This volume also contains the very first appearance of the Three Lieutenants Marvel and the comics introduction of Whitey Murphy (from the movie serial). Plus, Captain Marvel confronts the menace of a ship-scuttling saboteur, intrigue in a temple in Central America, spies at our nation's capital, ocean-going saboteurs, invading spider-men from Mars, pirates, arsonists, and more! As a bonus, a 2-page text piece is included which was the first installment of a prose adaptation of the serial The Adventures of Captain Marvel.
THE SHAZAM ARCHIVES! Vol. 4 Hardcover.
All it takes is a single magic word…
Get ready for SHAZAM! ARCHIVES VOL. 4, a stunning new hardcover archive collecting the classic CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #4 and #5, plus stories from MASTER COMICS #21 and #22, WHIZ #25 and AMERICA'S GREATEST COMICS #2, featuring the work of William Woolfolk, Mac Raboy, C.C. Beck, and more!
In the early 1940s, the success of Fawcett's Captain Marvel began to rival that of Superman - The World's Mightiest Mortal had become a super-hero to reckon with. And with that popularity came deeper mythology and new characters such as Captain Marvel, Jr., and the Lieutenants Marvel, both of whom appear in this volume, along with a guest appearance by Bulletman.
THE SHAZAM! ARCHIVES VOL. 4 follows this development of the legend of Captain Marvel and features page after page of classic art. Also included in this volume is an insightful introduction by Fawcett Comics authority P.C. Hamerlinck.
