Volvo Cars debuts the new 2015 Volvo XC90
Posted by autoview on 27 August 2014
Volvo Cars has officially unveiled the eagerly expected 2015 Volvo XC90 after months of speculation. As promised before the new SUV delivers world leading safety features, new powertrain technologies, power and fuel efficiency, and a superior interior finish – all wrapped in a visually striking design.
"This is one of the most important days in our history. We are not just launching a car, but re-launching our brand. This day marks a new era for our company. The XC90 paves the way for a portfolio of exciting new cars to come in the following years," said Håkan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group.
The new 2015 Volvo XC90 is the result of a USD 11-billion investment program and is the first vehicle in a new chapter of Volvo's history that includes a future design direction, a range of new technologies and the all new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) technology.
The T-shaped "Thor's Hammer" DRL lights will be the first thing that will impress you when you see the new 2015 Volvo XC90. The new vehicle is also the first Volvo to come with the company's new and more prominent iron mark, which has the iconic arrow elegantly aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille. The XC90's larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline and the sharpened shoulders connecting with the distinctive new rear lights are other important design signatures that will be mirrored across the range. In addition to that the new 2015 Volvo XC90 will sport wheel sizes of up to 22 inches.
"The overall impression, both exterior and interior, has a strong connection to the key elements of the Swedish lifestyle: the generous space, the celebration of light and the focus on wellbeing," said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design of Volvo Car Group.
"SPA has enabled us to create the world's first SUV without compromises," says Dr. Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President, Research and Development of Volvo Car Group. "You get the in-command feel, generous interior space and flexible capability combined with the agility and smooth comfort of a much smaller and lower car. The adrenaline rush that is key to true driving pleasure is delivered by powertrains that offer an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation. And since the XC90 carries the Volvo badge, world-class safety is standard."
The all-new 2015 Volvo XC90 comes with a number of comprehensive and technologically sophisticated safety technologies including two world first safety features – a run-off road protection package and an auto brake at intersection capability. In a run-off road scenario, the all-new Volvo XC90 detects what is happening and the front safety belts are tightened to keep the occupants in position. To help prevent spine injuries, energy-absorbing functionality between the seat and seat frame cushions the vertical forces that can arise when the car encounters a hard landing in the terrain. The XC90 is the first car in the world with technology that features automatic braking if the driver turns in front of an oncoming car. This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher. Finally you get the so called City Safety feature that includes auto brake functions that are standard on the all-new XC90. It covers vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car during daytime and at night.
"The new technologies will take us a significant step closer to our vision that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by 2020," says Dr. Mertens. "Our starting point on safety is the same today as it was when the company was created almost 90 years ago: real-life situations. We study data. We crunch numbers. We innovate. The result is one of the safest cars ever made."
The new Volvo XC90 is very luxurious on the inside too. The vehicle features a tablet-like touch screen control console, which forms the heart of an all-new in-car control system. This system is virtually button free and represents an entirely new way for drivers to control their car and access a range of Internet-based products and services. It also helps create an interior that is modern, spacious and uncluttered. The interior is made of soft leather and wood with handcrafted details, including a gear lever that is made of crystal glass from Orrefors – the famous Swedish glassmaker – and diamond-cut controls for the Start/Stop button and volume control. The genuine seven seater features new, innovatively designed seats that also free up interior space for passengers both in the second and third seat rows. The third row offers class-leading comfort for two passengers up to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. Music fans are covered too – the XC90 now comes with one of the top audio systems available in the automotive world thanks to efforts by both Volvo Cars and the British audio equipment company Bowers & Wilkins. The top-of-the-line system in the XC90 features a 1,400-watt Class D amplifier and 19 Bowers & Wilkins speakers. It also includes one of the first air-ventilated subwoofers in a car. Integrated into the car body, it turns the whole interior space into a giant subwoofer. The latest sound processing software has ben used to manage the timing of the sound and co-ordination of the speakers. This brings the emotional experience of a world-class live performance into the car.
Two main accessory themes also add taste to the all-new 2015 Volvo XC90. The vehicle offers a choice between the Urban Luxury package and the Rugged Luxury kit. The former combines a color co-ordinated body kit with polished stainless steel details, such as front deco frames, front and rear skid plates and side scuff plates while the latter enhances the ruggedness of the XC90 SUV with tech matte black exterior trim, stainless steel skid plates, running boards with illumination and integrated exhaust pipes. The Urban Luxury package also arrives with 21-inch exclusive polished wheels, while the Rugged Luxury kit has unique 22-inch wheels.
The 2015 Volvo XC90 is powered by a range of 2-liter, four cylinder Drive-E engines that provide both power and fuel efficiency. The most powerful engine of them all is the XC90 Twin Engine that combines a 2-liter, four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor for total power output of 400 horsepower (294 kW) and carbon dioxide emissions of just around 60 g/km.
Fans of the XC90 will be able to order the new vehicle in October with customer deliveries starting in May 2015. Expect to pay around GBP 45,000 for one 2015 Volvo XC90.

Q: Lock Tables - PHPMyAdmin not working I am trying to lock a table name 'users' but unable to lock using PHPMyAdmin.
I followed this tutorial
but the following error occurs:

Unrecognized statement type. (near "LOCK" at position 0)

A: It's not useful to use the LOCK TABLES statement in phpMyAdmin unless you type some other statements after it and send them altogether with the LOCK TABLES statement. The reason is that the lock applies only to the current MySQL session, which will be discarded as soon as phpMyAdmin finishes processing the statement. We're not talking about PHP sessions but MySQL sessions.

A: The first part of the problem is that phpMyAdmin currently seems to have a problem recognizing the syntax, so you get the red X syntax warning. However, you can still submit the query around that, it's just a warning. As I mentioned in a comment, I just opened a bug report about this so it should get fixed for an upcoming release.
However, the second part is the error MySQL gives you back, which is shown at the bottom of the screen, and it's saying that your syntax is also not valid for MySQL. You haven't told it what type of lock you want; you could do something like LOCK TABLES `users` READ and it should work for you (despite the phpMyAdmin warning). Your choices are essentially READ or WRITE, with READ also allowing the LOCAL modifier (MySQL documentation). When I tested both the current stable (4.7.5) and development versions of phpMyAdmin, they both worked correctly with this behavior.

A: This happened to me once  when I attempted to import SQL backup files created using MySQL Workbench into PHPMyAdmin. But when the LOCK and UNLOCK lines are commented it works fine.Else install Workbench and restore without any changes.

It only takes 5 seconds to make a first impression…so how did you do in that interview? Do you feel good about your first impression, or a re you unsure? Maybe you were nervous, didn't present yourself well or blew it completely.
This topic of first impressions is one that I have been studying for more than a decade. I have taught this subject in front of diverse crowds – both large and small. I've learned that we really do size each other up quickly in those first 5 seconds, often labeling people based on our first impressions. It is at this point that we filter other data we get about the person, and that data is powerful.
I'm not telling you this to instill deep-seated fear or panic in you, but so you can learn from this. Use this information to think about what first impression you want to portray in a job interview. Then take a look in the mirror, test your hand shake, and evaluate your eye contact skills. Are you pleased with them, or could they use a little work? Not sure? Ask a friend or family member to role play with you.
Focusing on these three things – appearance, hand shake and eye contact – and doing them well will help you feel more confident, so you can sail through that first 5 seconds with your potential employer.


These pictures were taken last year in Ambergis Caye, Belize. If you ever have the opportunity you should make this a vacation destination in your life. I love this place more than anyplace I have ever visited. It surely isn't the party capital of the world but it will put your senses back in order.
Here is the website for Ambergis Caye. Take a peek and then you may want to call your favorite airline.
This is the National Park in Belize. Yes its a water park and those are real Nurse Sharks. I did go swimming with them(crazy huh). They are quite tame but like you might think it took me 30 minutes to decide to jump in.
This is a picture taken from my balcony at Victoria House in Belize. It might not be heaven but I think it may be close.

Steelers confident Roethlisberger can return to form in 2020
Feb. 13, 2020 at 1:53 pm Updated Feb. 13, 2020 at 1:56 pm
WILL GRAVES
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are confident quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's surgically repaired right elbow will be ready to go in time for the 2020 regular season, so confident there are no plans to look around for a proven veteran backup just in case.
General manager Kevin Colbert said Thursday that "all signs are good" regarding Roethlisberger's rehab from an elbow injury that sidelined the two-time Super Bowl winner in the middle of Week 2 and forced him to miss the remainder of 2019. The Steelers finished 8-8 without him while jockeying between second-year quarterback Mason Rudolph and rookie undrafted free agent Devlin Hodges.
While Colbert described Pittsburgh's eventful season as "below the standards we set," he credited the defense for taking a significant step forward and believes Roethlisberger's return should help push the Steelers back into contention in the AFC.
Roethlisberger, who turns 38 in March, will travel to Los Angeles to be evaluated on Feb. 21. There is no specific timetable for when he will be cleared to start throwing again but Colbert stressed "optimistically he's on schedule to return and maybe return better a Ben Roethlisberger than he was before the injury."
Pittsburgh hung tough in Roethlisberger's absence thanks in large part to a defense buoyed by the arrival of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in a mid-September trade. The Steelers finished fifth in yards and points allowed but didn't get enough help down the stretch. Pittsburgh scored 20 points or fewer in seven of its final eight games and managed just 30 points combined during a three-game skid to end the season, a losing streak that dropped them out of the playoff race.
While Colbert praised Rudolph and Hodges for doing a "representable" job while filling in, Colbert thinks a little bit of Roethlisberger could go a long way in 2020.
"I think our defense was really good last year and they kept us in a lot of games," Colbert said. "We always talk about when Ben was healthy and we held a team to 21 points, his record over the course of his career is 121-20."
The Steelers went 7-3 when keeping opponents under that mark in 2019, but two of the losses came in Weeks 15 and 16 against Buffalo and the New York Jets as the charismatic Hodges became increasingly ineffective.
Colbert, however, was quick to spread blame all around. The offensive line struggled to create running room and third-year back James Conner couldn't seem to stay on the field. Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster also dealt with injuries as his numbers took a steep drop with Roethlisberger out.
Both Conner and Smith-Schuster are about to enter the final years of their rookie contracts. Smith-Schuster is likely to be approached about a new deal, while Colbert indicated the team needs to see more from Conner.
"We know there's talent there," Colbert said. "We hope James can regain it and if he's healthy, there's no reason (he can't.)"
Colbert also faces a decision on what to do with outside linebacker Bud Dupree, who is coming off a breakout season in which he had a career-high 11 1/2 sacks while teaming up with T.J. Watt to become one of the best edge rush duos in the NFL.
Dupree is scheduled to become a free agent next month unless the Steelers place the franchise tag on him by March 10. While coach Mike Tomlin called finding a way to keep Dupree "a priority" Colbert took a more vague approach.
"We have a good idea about where things stand at this point, but don't have concrete info as to whether or not we will tag," Colbert said.
Pittsburgh heads into the draft without a first-round pick for the first time since 1968 after sending it to Miami for Fitzpatrick. Colbert has zero second thoughts on the decision, not after Fitzpatrick was selected as an All-Pro following a season in which he intercepted five passes and returned an interception and a fumble for touchdowns.
"He is our first-round pick as we enter 2020 because he's still a young, ascending player," Colbert said. "He came in his first game as a starter after one week of work and had an outstanding game I don't think we've seen the best of Minkah yet."
In a way, the same holds true for inside linebacker Ryan Shazier. Shazier continues to recover from spine stabilization surgery in December, 2017. His contract expires next month, but Colbert said he's seen "significant improvement" from Shazier over the past 12 months. While Shazier's career remains on hold indefinitely, Colbert made it clear Shazier continues to have the club's full support.
"When you're dealing with Ryan Shazier, you're not dealing with a timetable," Colbert said. "You're dealing with a young man that's trying to regain his career. We're always going to support that, whether it's by a certain date or certain terms. There's rules we have to live by, but again there's no ceiling and there's no time frame with Ryan Shazier's possibility of returning."

Winners and Losers from Titans 16, Broncos 14
Ugly W's need love too, right?
This was nobody's idea of an ideal start to the 2020 season, but disaster was avoided thanks to a Stephen Gostkowski field goal with 17 seconds remaining to give the Titans a 16-14 win in Denver (we will get to the other kicks shortly).
I wrote about how difficult it is to get a win at Mile High earlier this week in depth, but it's worth noting again here that Tennessee became just the 8th team to win in Denver in Week 1 or Week 2 since 1975. The Broncos had been a staggering 48-7 in this exact situation over the past 45 years coming into this game and they leave it 48-8.
Nobody should be thrilled with how the Titans looked overall in this game. They started sloppy, had too many mental errors, and failed to make enough of the chunk plays on offense that had become a staple of the 2019 version of this team. Oh, and they missed four kicks (again, I'll get to it… just let me put it off a little longer).
However, winning a sloppy game on the road against a solid Broncos team isn't a terrible result. At the end of the day, 1-0 is what matters here. The Titans leave Denver tied with Jacksonville atop the AFC South and have a chance to stake a claim to an early division lead with the Jaguars coming to town on Sunday.
With that, let's get into the winners and losers from Titans 16, Broncos 14.
Loser: Stephen Gostkowski
Let's start here because this was the story of the game. The Titans kicking situation continues to be a gigantic mess. After seeing Cairo Santos, Cody Parkey, Ryan Succop, and Greg Joseph combine to make just 8 of 18 field goal attempts in 2019, the team went out and signed the 5th most accurate kicker in NFL history, Stephen Gostkowski to a $2.5-million deal just before the start of the season… and he promptly forgot how to kick.
Gostkowski hit an extra point to cap off the Titans first touchdown, but then proceeded to miss three straight field goal tries from 47, 44, and 42 yards AND an extra point. Rather than nursing a 23-7 lead early in the 4th quarter, the Titans were defending a 13-7 lead. A pretty massive difference.
Obviously, Gostkowski came through in the end, converting a 25-yard chip shot for the win, but this game never would have been in doubt late if the Titans could simply convert field goals like every other team in the NFL.
My guess is that Gostkowski gets another shot to bounce back next week given the contract they gave him and his overall track record of success, but they could decide to call up Greg Joseph off of Tampa Bay's practice squad if they think Gostkowski is cooked.
Regardless of who is kicking next week, I'd recommend Mike Vrabel hiring an exorcist to come in and rub some sage on the walls of the special teams meeting room at Saint Thomas Sports Park.
Winner: Corey Davis
I've been saying all offseason that I think there is a real shot that Corey Davis not only has a strong season, but leads the Titans in receiving for the year. His Week 1 performance, despite being questionable heading into the game with a hamstring issue, is certainly encouraging.
Davis posted his 3rd career 100-yard game in Denver, catching 7 of 8 targets for 101 yards, including a couple of really tough grabs and a vicious stiff arm of Kareem Jackson. This was a very strong start for the former 5th overall pick who will be headed to free agency at the end of this season.
Loser: Ryan Tannehill
I know, I know… this is a little harsh. Tannehill's raw numbers aren't bad — 29 of 43 for 249 yards and 2 touchdowns with a 97.9 passer rating — but this wasn't a high-end effort from the Titans quarterback. Tannehill averaged just 5.8 yards per attempt and got bailed out of two interceptions — one on a defensive penalty that was unrelated to the play but wiped out a pick and another on the pass that Jurrell Casey batted in the air that looked to be headed right for Broncos linebacker Josey Jewell.
It certainly wasn't all bad for Tannehill though. He took just one sack — usually a major issue for him — and led a fantastic 83-yard game winning drive when it mattered the most. He also seemed to click with Corey Davis and Adam Humphries consistently.
I don't think this was an alarming performance from Tannehill, who again, should have had 23 points in this game with even semi-competent kicking, but it wasn't one of his better efforts in a Titans uniform to this point. All that being said, the Titans are now 10-4 with him under center with half those games being played against 2019 division winners. It's hard to be too mad at him for a simply mediocre game, but expectations have been raised for this offense after last season.
Winner: Jadeveon Clowney
Jadeveon Clowney made his Titans debut and didn't disappoint. No, there wasn't a sack and he didn't make any massive splash plays, but he was extremely disruptive, particularly early on.
The final stat line credits him with 3 tackles, 1 for a loss, and 1 quarterback hit on the night. Not a dominant showing, but he absolutely flashed. After the game Clowney admitted that he was still working into game shape and learning the Titans playbook.
.@clownejd on @TItans debut: It was fun. Still learning on defense. I have to get back in better shape. For one full pads practice, I felt pretty good. I was happy with my performance, but it will get better.@Titans
— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) September 15, 2020
And there were a few times where it looked like Clowney wasn't sure where he was supposed to be. He lost contain on Drew Lock on a couple of boots and was sometimes too eager to dive inside looking for a stop, exposing the Titans edge.
However, you could absolutely see the difference maker he can be in this defense when he rounds into form. I was encouraged by his debut.
Loser: Kalif Raymond
This was not a great showing for the popular Titans speedster. He had two targets and wasn't able to haul in either of them despite getting his hands on the ball and was a non-factor in the return game.
Raymond will have better days, but this was a rough outing.
Winner: Jeffery Simmons
Simmons has been hyped as a guy who is expected to make a big leap in his second NFL season and he showed up big time in this game, especially during the critical goal line stand late in the first half.
Simmons was credited with just 4 tackles, but two of them came during that stand, including this huge heads up tackle of Jake Butt on 4th and goal.
You ain't getting past @GrindSimmons94 ?? #TENvsDEN
?: Watch on ESPN or https://t.co/rc7YCXzPXg pic.twitter.com/mYx9FhO4lD
— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) September 15, 2020
Simmons is completely immovable in short yardage situations. That showed up last year in huge stops against the Chargers, Patriots, and Ravens and it showed up again tonight.
He also made a great hustle play to jump on a fumble in a key situation in the first half that set up the Titans first touchdown of the game.
Loser: A.J. Brown
Like Tannehill, it's not that Brown was actively bad… it's just that he didn't live up to the lofty standards he set for himself in 2019. I'll be interested to see what the Broncos were doing from a coverage perspective to take away Brown when the All-22 comes out, but ultimately 5 catches for 39 yards isn't what he was probably hoping for coming off a 1,051-yard rookie season.
Brown had two near misses. One on an early 3rd down where it looked like he turned his hands the wrong way on an out-breaking route and saw the ball glance off his hands. The second was the final offensive play of the game for the Titans when he just missed a game-winning touchdown. The throws from Tannehill weren't perfect on either of those passes, but they were close enough that Brown had a shot to make the play. He usually does, but this time he didn't.
Again, not something I'd be super concerned about after Week 1. This was Corey Davis' night. Brown will bounce back.
Winner: Kevin Byard
Byard made one of the biggest plays of the game when he punched the ball out of Melvin Gordon's hands, allowing Jeffery Simmons to recover and set up a Ryan Tannehill to MyCole Pruitt touchdown pass a few plays later. He also led the team in tackles with 9, including 8 solo stops, and had a pass break up as well.
Kevin Byard is the most dependable playmaker on this football team.
Loser: Rashaan Evans
You just can't lose your composure like that when you're a key part of a team like Evans is. The punch to Jake Butt's facemask that got him ejected in the first quarter absolutely warranted an ejection.
Evans is supposed to be a rising leader on this Titans team and losing the guy that is in charge of relaying defensive playcalls and organizing the defense in the first few minutes of a game is a brutal, and totally unnecessary curveball that the Tennessee staff had to deal with in this game.
While we're here… a lot of people are asking about David Long and why he didn't get more snaps after Evans went out and I think it comes down to communication and getting the defense organized. Will Compton is a veteran that they trust and it almost certainly came down to that experience factor over a relatively green second year linebacker.
Winner: Chris Jackson
I was a believer in the Chris Jackson hype coming out of Titans camp, but I certainly didn't expect to see him be the 3rd corner on the field with Malcolm Butler and Johnathan Joseph during the opening series. Jackson and fellow rookie Kristian Fulton appeared to be rotating a bit, but Jackson got the lion's share of the snaps.
Sure, that's partially due to the fact that Fulton missed time in camp with an injury — Mike Vrabel said as much after the game — but it's still a pretty big vote of confidence in a 7th round rookie to throw him into the fire in Week 1 like that.
#Titans' Vrabel on Chris Jackson's playing time: He was available (in camp, as opposed to Kristian Fulton, who missed time.)
— John Glennon (@glennonsports) September 15, 2020
It is very hard to judge cornerback play based on the TV broadcast — the corners are almost always completely off the screen within a split second of the snap — so I'll reserve total judgement here until the All-22 comes out, but we do know that Jackson wasn't picked on. Ultimately, Drew Lock threw for just 216 yards on the Titans defense, and just 110 of those yards went to wide receivers.
Granted, the Broncos were without star receiver Courtland Sutton for the game, but Jackson — and Fulton for that matter — seemed to hold their own in coverage. It will be interesting to see how snaps at corner are distributed over the remainder of Adoree' Jackson's IR stint.
Winner: Harold Landry
The Titans didn't get enough pressure on Drew Lock tonight, but Landry did show up in a couple huge spots, registering a pair of QB hits. One came on a 2nd and 1 play action pass during the Titans big goal line stand. Landry came free and forced Lock into a rushed throw that missed a wide open receiver in the end zone. The second hit came on a 3rd and 3 late in the game when Denver was trying to melt some clock, again, forcing an incompletion and getting the ball back to his offense.
I expect to see better days from the Titans pass rush in the weeks to come, but Landry's clutch pressures made a real difference in the outcome of this game.

Rapid Reaction: Three up, three down
Titans News: Nashville Area Football Team, Tennessee Titans, win a tough game in Denver. Some teams still know how winning is done.
Hunter Harris says:
I disagree with Clowney and Tannehill. Tannehill didnt play bad enough to be called a loser without Tannehill we lose this game easy. Jonnu,Davis,and Tannehill is the sole reason we won this game with some help from Jeudy drops and the stop from Simmons. Clowney didnt set the edge early on and it killed our run support alot of big runs happened due to Clowney being sucked in.
Mike Herndon says:
Tannehill played OK and certainly came through in the clutch. It's fair to say that it's not his fault that the kicker left 10 points on the board. I just didn't feel like this was his A game. It was his C or C- game.
I agree that Clowney was sometimes out of position. I still thought he made more plays for the defense than he allowed for the offense though.
also Jackson played lost and was beat multiple times Jeudy just couldnt catch tonight
Jasson Cring says:
in agreement. I thought he looked very much like a 7th round rookie corner.
Max Molteni says:
Curious to see the impact from the RT spot.. How did Kelly fair? Is he winner for not popping up on this list as a loser?
Yeah, I think that's a fair way to look at it. He wasn't a glaring issue and that's kind of a win. Then again, he was working against Jerry Attaochu most of the night, and that's a matchup you'd want him to win anyway.
I'm going to be watching him closer on my rewatch of the All-22 and will include some notes on his performance in that piece this week.
Party saurusRexx says:
If his C- game leads us to 4,000 yards and 32 TD, I'll take it.
Steven Anakcer says:
I know the stats say otherwise, but I think Henry deserved "loser" status more than Ryan (though that would also be a bit harsh). He ran tentatively all day. He's good enough that he can still get his when running that way, but this reminded me of the Henry from before he had his talk with Eddie.
Yeah he wasn't quite as dominant as we saw down the stretch last year. I think it's fair to say he and Tannehill had similar performances. Not bad by any means, but not the type of games we saw last year. Maybe we are spoiled? Lol
ztitan615 says:
When you watch the All-22 check out Ty Sambrailo when he filled in for Lewan's injury. Looked to me at first glance that he and Saffold were opening up big holes for Henry for what seemed like the first time all game.
I thought the same thing on first watch. Will confirm once the tape drops. Sambrailo played well I thought, even if it was extremely small sample.
Daniel R Meadow says:
I felt very pleased with the performances of Henry and Tannehill both. That was a very good defense. And we eventually broke them. Just took a lot of work and faithfulness to the game-plan.
I was feeling positive when we got to halftime and Henry was approaching 15 carries with 50 ish yards under his belt. That's a good litmus test because he always produces more in the second half than in the first.
Tannehill wins first and foremost with efficiency (illustrated by his QBR). The splash plays come when they come because the bind we put on the defense eventually produces them. "It's like Novocain." -Herman Boone (Remember the Titans)
Winner: team health on the offensive side of the ball.
Am I mistaken, or was Monday night the first time ever that we've seen…
– Tannehill
– Henry
– Brown
– Davis
– Humphries
– Smith
– Firkser
…all on the field and fully healthy at the same time?
Here's hoping for more of that this season!
I think there were a few weeks right as Tannehill took over last year when they were all healthy together. It has been relatively rare though.

Newspoll: 51-49 to Coalition in NSW
Mike Baird's personal ratings maintain their downward trajectory, but Newspoll finds his Coalition government retaining its narrow lead.
William Bowe
The Australian has what will hopefully be the first in a series of Newspoll state voting intention results, this being the latest bi-monthly result for New South Wales, conducted in November and early December from a sample of 1567. The poll finds the Coalition holding on to its 51-49 lead from September-October, from primary votes of Coalition 41% (down one), Labor 36% (steady) and Greens 11% (steady). Mike Baird's approval rating is now at 35%, down a further four points from the last poll, and his disapproval is up four to 50%. Luke Foley is up two on approval to 34%, and up one on disapproval to 40%. Baird's lead as preferred premier has shifted from 42-24 to 43-26.
The charts above show poll aggregation trends going back to the election of the Coalition government in 2011, using bias-adjusted results from 74 polls conducted by seven pollsters.

Read the advice document that assists applicants to prepare their application and for officers to consider those minor planning applications that may affect the public highway.
We have now published (July 2018) a standing advice document to assist applicants to prepare their application and for officers to consider those minor planning applications that may affect the public highway. This document should be read in conjunction with the Highways Design Guide for new developments (approved November 2012).
If a minor application as listed above is considered by us to have a significant impact on the highway network, (highway safety implication, access to a classified or high speed road, or other conflict which is not covered by standing advice, etc) then we may choose to comment in greater detail.
Please note that irrespective of the grant of planning consent by Planning, there may be additional necessary licences or agreements to be secured from us, to allow works on or adjacent to the public highway (such as dropped kerb or crossover).
Gives guidance to applicants and to the Local Planning Authority (LPA) in order that they may determine those minor planning applications which the Highway Authority indicates this standing advice applies to.


We were into April but winter had returned with a bite and laid some fairly deep snow in parts of Scotland. I headed out toward Braemar and parked up at Invercauld bridge. I used my bike to shorten the time taken to get up Gleann an t-Slugain. It wasn't an easy ride with the strong wind and the up hill aspect of the track. After an hour it was time to leave the bike in the heather and head up through the fairy glen. After a short climb the path disappeared under the snow and it was time to make my own way. The wind was blowing low cloud over the huge bulk of Beinn a' Bhuird sitting some distance ahead.
Loose snow was being swept off the ground adding to the wintry atmosphere. I headed north for kilometre or so before heading up Carn Eag Dhiubh and then onto the col between Creag an Dail Mhor and Carn Eas. The snow was banked up fairly deep and I was in above my knees as the slopes steepened toward Carn Eas. I eventually broke out onto the plateau of Ben Avon and the mist that covered it. Following compass bearings I headed towards the summit keeping a watchful look out for the drop off and cliffs that lie to the north. The mist lifted allowing me to confirm my position and allowing a view across to Beinn a' Bhuird.
Up ahead two walkers approached the summit tor, one stopping to photograph his companion as he gained the top.
After a welcome break and a bite to eat I headed off toward the Sneck and across to Beinn a' Bhuird. An RAF helicopter appeared, spending some time hovering around the cliffs above Garbh Choire.
My two fellow walkers had also stopped to watch as the helicopter circled a couple of times before heading off with a wave as they passed near our vantage point. The mist again descended as we started to cross the flat upper reaches of Beinn a' Bhuird toward its North top. We made the top signified by a a few ice and snow topped stones making up the cairn. We then traversed well to the west to ensure that our route south would avoid the cliffs surrounding Coire nan clach and Dubh Lochan and keep them on our eastern side. After we regained the low ground my companions offered me a cup of tea but as time was getting on I had to decline. The outward bike journey was much quicker than that of the way in and I arrived back at the car park just before dark.

A woman in Russia stripped down to her bra and thong to do a polar plunge into a lake. She got a running start and attempted a cannonball . . . but didn't know the lake had frozen over so she just bounced and then slid on the ice. The guy who was filming it had no sympathy. Just laughter.


SO YOU'RE A TOP RATED CHESS PLAYER!
Ok so you've beaten everybody in your school, and everybody at the local chess tournaments, as well as savagely crushed your dad in a "friendly" game. You've registered with the United States Chess Federation, and have amassed a respectable rating of 2000 something. You have plans to take out Nakamura at the next U.S. Open, and captain the chess team at Princeton in 3 years time when you graduate from High School. I congratulate you the reader on developing an excellent life plan, and I only hope it continues to be as excellent when you hit 65, however for now I only have one simple question: WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO DURING THE SUMMER?
Sure you can spend all your time reading the latest chess book by Alexander Chernin and practicing all his salivating tips and hints, all the while working as the cashier at the local 7/11, or you can scrape together 600 dollars, head on over to Jersey and spend a week with the man himself. Now shameless self promotion aside (you will see that a lot on this site anyway), and considering some people might not know who Chernin is (we call these people "squares" to the 64th power.), doesn't it make more sense to study in a setting with other people then sad and alone by yourself? How many times can you wipe the floor with your dad using the Sicillian (its not just a pizza anymore folks), before you realize that chess is only fun if your challenged? What's more challenged by other people that know a lot more about chess then you do? Nothing against your dad or grampa or whoever taught you chess, but if your serious about being the next Bobby Fisher, unless you were gifted with a "chess brain" when you were born, you'll need some help.
That is where we come in. What we do is we get the best trainers in the world and fly them over here to study with you for a week or more, and help you reach your full potential. When were talking about best trainers, we mean people who have helped prepare current Grand Masters, and world champions. You can read about them in the "ICA STAFF" section if you don't believe me.
Now let's assume you live in a state far far away, (like Oregon for instance) and are considering taking us up on our offer, but are concerned about what your going to do in your free time, seeing as you don't know anybody, or even how the camp works. Furthermore, you might think that there won't be any free time to hang out, and relax and have all that "Best Coaches in the World" knowledge sink in. Well do not worry because we anticipate that and a lot more. First of all you will have free time, that I can guarantee. After all it's a crime to not have free time, to spend a dime during summer time (yes rhyming is necessary and so are all the little digressive parentheses quotes). Anyways in that free time you'll get a chance to do lots of cool stuff, like play sports, go to movies, bowl, all the stuff you usually do at home with your friends. Best of all you'll get to make new friends, and even though that may sound corny or stupid to people, that is probably the best part of the whole thing. In any case if your having trouble I will personally come up with a routine to make you laugh (seriously ask the "advanced camp" veterans I get the job done), so you won't feel totally bored. Besides if anything you can secretly scope out your competition and devise a plan on how to finish them off, in any future tournaments you guys will be competing in.
So that's about it, questions, or comments are welcome, but I think if you read this far your already convinced.

Special Orders will increase a pilot's kill count by 5.
Super Robot Wars T releases in Japan on March 20, 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Its Asia version with English subs will release on March 20 as well. Check out an interview with the producers of the game in our previous report here.

ASHWAUBENON — Are you ready for Halloween in spring?
Terror on the Fox is opening up May 13-14 for Slasher Fest. That's Friday the 13th, by the way.
The longtime haunted attraction in the woods of the National Railroad Museum will be open for scares themed around "Friday the 13th" and other horror movies.
"I think it's going to feel like October in May. It's going to be fun," said Mike Krausert, one of the founding members of Terror on the Fox and now senior project manager with Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group, which has haunted attractions all over the country.
Slasher Fest will introduce new horror film-inspired characters created specifically for the event. They'll employ "a very intense style of acting," Krausert said.
Krausert, who now lives outside of Boston, is returning to oversee Terror on the Fox this year. Some of Thirteenth Floors other haunted houses, including Denver and Chicago, are also hosting a Slasher Fest.
The event runs from 8 to 10:30 p.m. both days. Admission is $19.99 or $29.99 for a Fast Pass. Unlike the Halloween season, there is no train ride as part of Slasher Fest. It's not recommended for ages 12 and younger.
The first 100 people each night will receive a customized hockey mask.

Rutgers 35, Arkansas 26: It Gets Worse for the Razorbacks and John L. Smith
By Brandon Larrabee Sep 22, 2012, 10:54pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Rutgers 35, Arkansas 26: It Gets Worse for the Razorbacks and John L. Smith
Nelson Chenault-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
Tyler Wilson came back Saturday for the first time since the infamous Louisiana-Monroe game. Cobi Hamilton had an SEC-record 303 receiving yards. Overall, the offense churned out 492 yards.
And Arkansas lost, the defense giving up 526 yards of total offense to Rutgers and allowing Gary Nova to go 25-of-35 for 397 yards and five touchdowns. And just like that, a season that Arkansas fans thought couldn't get any worse, somehow did.
That's not to trash Rutgers, which has now won three road games in its first four contests and looks very much like a contender for the Big East championship. But with time running out to keep this season from spiraling out of control, Arkansas needed a win against whoever was next on the calendar, and Rutgers fit the bill. With Arkansas playing at home, and Rutgers not having done that much to distinguish themselves yet, the Razorbacks were favorites to start turning things around.
Instead, Arkansas now faces Texas A&M in College Station next week and visits Auburn the week after that. If it loses both of those games, there's no telling where exactly the floor is. Maybe Kentucky is a win. Ole Miss? Tulsa? And you can go ahead and write off the South Carolina-Mississippi State-LSU stretch that ends the season. A bowl game begins to look like a more and more remote possibility.
The idea at Arkansas seems to have been that, win or lose, the Hogs would be able to ride out the season with John L. Smith at the controls. That's becoming a more and more precarious notion as the season progresses, and as the losses to teams that Arkansas should defeat keep piling up. If Jeff Long wants to keep his fan base from full-on mutiny and save his own job, he might have to pull the plug on the John L. Smith experiment sooner rather than later.

Q: MvvmCross v5 Navigation (MvxNavigationService) I am migrating to MvvmCross 5 and I want to start implementing the navigation change using the MvxNavigationService.
Currently I use custom presenters to do things like navigate to a view then take the previous view out of the hierarchy. I assume I don't need custom presenters with the new navigation service.
Is it possible to do this with the navigation service?
Also I would like to navigate to a view but build up a navigation stack for it.
For example say I have three views
Home Page
Item List Page
Item Details Page
What I would like to do is go from the Home page to the Item Detail Page directly, but when I close the Item Detail Page, the Item List Page would be displayed.
E.g. when I do navigation
Home Page -> Item Details Page
What I really want is the navigation stack to be built as follows
Home Page -> Item List Page -> Item Detail Page
The documentation seems to suggest that using the Uri scheme, this would be possible, but I'm not sure how.
Is this possible, if so is it possible to direct me to an example.


And the winner is Mr. Wynn! Although both tycoons have the same stunning view.
We did not peg Steve Wynn as a man who loves plaid, but apparently the casino magnate has a secret taste for preppy touches. In the most recent issue of Architectural Digest, Mr. Wynn reveals his shockingly restrained renovation of the $70 million Ritz-Carlton duplex he bought in 2012 from Millennium Partners Christopher Jeffries. Gone are the glittering chandeliers and auric window treatments, the brocade sofas and the coffered ceilings of gold. In their place are cream-colored walls and ceilings, rooms decorated with tasteful pops of primary colors and, of course, the aforementioned plaid. In a (few) word(s), a Jonathan Adler store on speed.
Certainly, Mr. Wynn's renovation is the more tasteful of the two, but when you have a 10,882-foot duplex whose double-height living room is crafted from the former ballroom of the St. Moritz Hotel, maybe tasteful is not the way to go? Maybe the only appropriate response to an unabashedly over-the-top trophy apartment is to decorate it in an even more over-the-top fashion?
So who renovated it better?

John's Monthly Newsletter February 2015
This is a selection of my constituency activities over the last month.
Stop Heathrow Expansion Presentation to 10 Downing Street 3
I joined Heathrow Villagers, Local Heathrow Ward Councillors, June Nelson and Peter Money and West London MPs to present a letter to No 10 Downing Street calling upon the Prime Minister to honour his commitment in 2010 "No ifs, No buts, No 3rd Runway."
Tuesday saw the end of the Airport Commission's consultation on airport expansion options. "I am confident that if we continue our determined campaign we will see off this threat to our villages once again."
Sri Guru Ravi Dass Gurdwara 8
I visited the local Sri Guru Ravi Dass Gurdwara to meet constituents who worship at the temple. John's relationship with the temple goes back to the 1980s when as a GLC Councillor John awarded the temple a grant to support its work in the community as an advice and counselling agency. This was the first gurdwara in UK history to be recognised in this way by a public body.
"I have worked with the Sri Guru Dass gurdwara for over 30 years and congratulate them on the work they undertake in our local community, often supporting the most vulnerable in our society."
Heathrow Arts Project
I spoke at the launch of the community arts initiative in Heathrow Villages (Harts) in St Peter's and St Paul's Church, Harlington, which was organised by Rose Music. Harts is using community led arts of different mediums to combat the blight from the airport, encourage a more cohesive community, and cultivate creative resistance to the increasing dominance of the aviation industry.
It was a really creative afternoon with local residents and local artists committed to saving our community. The group will be launching a 'Forest of Defiance'.
Brunel Students Question and Answer session 17
I attended a question and answer session with students at Brunel University on Tuesday 17th February. It was an extremely lively session on a wide range of political issues in the run up to the election.
Friends of Cranford Park 24
I chaired the Friends of Cranford Park, which I helped set up a couple of years ago.This month the Friends meeting concentrated on planning its events and activities in the park for the Spring and Summer, starting on Saturday March 7th 11am with volunteers undertaking a guided walk and tidying up the park. The re-opening of the secret garden will take place on Sunday 8th March at 10am.
Go to the Friends website www.cranfordparkfriends.org for further information.
Launch of New Professional IT Training Centre at Uxbridge College, Hayes Campus.
I visited the Hayes Campus of Uxbridge College in Coldharbour Lane, Hayes to learn about the new IT centre the college has launched this month. The centre will provide hands on training to local people interested in a career in IT. The college has linked up with local companies like Rackspace, to offer training to their staff and to link the college students with direct work experience in the IT industry. Uxbridge College also has an open day for all its courses on its Hayes Campus on 18th March which I will be calling into.
Prologis Exhibition
I went to see the exhibition by Prologis setting out its plans for the development of its site on Stockley Park by the canal. The plans for an office development overlooking the canal offer the opportunity of refurbishing the canal side and towpath, opening up the canal area. In addition the company is planning to improve a number of other green sites. I am pleased at the approach the company is taking. There is an outstanding Section 106 agreement on this site which provided for a financial contribution to the nearby Lake Farm Country Park following any development of the Stockley site. I have asked the local councillors to follow this up.
Hillingdon Canal Partnership 27
I went along to the Canal Partnership meeting, which I helped to set up a few years ago, to talk about the Canal Festival we are organising for May 10th this year and also to continue the pressure for both the re-opening of Shackles Dock for a canoe training base and for residential moorings in Hayes Town to help open up the canal. It's a slow hand slog but we will get there.
Grow Heathrow 5th Anniversary 28
I joined in the 5th anniversary celebrations of Grow Heathrow. I have supported the group of young people who occupied this site 5 years ago as part of our campaign to prevent the 3rd runway going ahead. It is on this site that the 6th Terminal was intended to be built. I am grateful for the support Grow Heathrow has given our campaign. They have became part of our community. I spoke at the celebrations to thank everyone involved in this creative campaign to save our villages and our environment.
Dog Meat Trade Cruelty28th January pics both
I hosted an event in Parliament to highlight the cruelty of Dog Meat Trade and call for a ban on this barbaric practice. Participants viewed two films, Sio Dog and Django Story and heard speeches from Tobias Ellwood MP, John Hawkridge and an excellent and moving speech from Peter Egan. Judy Dench, a supporter of the campaign also attended the meeting.
136 MPs signed at Early Day Motion to call for an immediate end to Dog Meat Trade Cruelty http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2014-15/159
National Gallery Strike10th February
I held a public meeting with PCS workers who are on strike. It is disgraceful the way these dedicated staff are being treated. Their jobs are being threatened, the union reps are being victimised and our art collections are being put at risk.
Gallery bosses announced plans to privatise almost all staff, including those who look after the paintings and help the gallery's 6 million annual visitors. They have also reneged on a promise to introduce the London Living Wage, meaning the institution is the only major museum or gallery in the capital that does not pay it.
Launch of Public Consultation of Conscience's "Taxes for Peace Bill" 11th February
I chaired a meeting of the People's Parliament last night focusing on non-military alternatives to building long-term peace and stability.
The event also served as a launch for the public consultation of Conscience's 'Taxes for Peace Bill' which will enable Conscientious Objectors to Military Taxation to have the military portion of their income taxes redirected towards more peaceful alternatives.
The consultation will be open until September 2015. For further information or to make comments and suggestions please click on the link below.

Government Scrapping of ILF
Despite widespread opposition from disability groups and two legal challenges, the government is pressing ahead with the abolition of the Independent Living Fund. Funds will be transferred to local councils to set up their own schemes. However the money transferred is not ring fenced and there are fears that some councils like Hillingdon will cut the support and use the money elsewhere at the expense of disabled people.
I have written to the Chief Executive of Hillingdon Council to ring fence and protect the funds for disabled people.
I am totally opposed to the scrapping if the ILF and have supported lobbies of Parliament against this Government policy. Now that it is going through I am demanding that Hillingdon Council commits itself to ring fencing and protecting the funds transferred and introduces a local ILF scheme to support people with disabilities in the way the ILF did. The ILF makes the difference for many disabled people between living a full life in our community or being placed in a residential home. I say Save the ILF.
Petition against closure of BBC Three 17th February
I joined campaigners who have been fighting to save the popular youth-orientated BBC Three television channel. After gathering outside BBC Broadcasting House, the delegation of petitioners walked to the BBC trust where we delivered a petition against the closure of BBC Three to the BBC trust.
FBU Rally 25th February
I was proud to address yesterday's (Wednesday) FBU rally convened by the union to enable firefighters to lobby MPs about the attack on their pensions imposed by the Government. We now know that the assurance given to Parliament that no firefighter would lose their job as a result of increasing the pension age was a lie. Its no wonder firefighters are angry. I am calling for this legislation to be rescinded now it has been confirmed that the minister mislead Parliament before the vote
Shaker Aamer Cross Party Group 26th
This week I convened a meeting of the cross party group of MPs campaigning for the release of Shaker Aamer. After raising Shaker's case with the Prime Minister and with the US Embassy, we have applied for a Parliamentary debate to gather more support for the release of Shaker from Guatanamo Bay. We are also planning to send a delegation to Washington to meet officials from the Obama administration to press for Shaker's release and return to his family in London.
Below is a list of the interventions I have made on the floor of the House of Commons this month. Please click the link below to take you to the debate set out in the Hansard.

Written Questions I have asked recorded by the date the answer was received.
Department for Transport 2nd February
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the food for the at-seat catering service provided under the rail franchise directly awarded to First Great Western in October 2014 will be prepared by staff on-board the trains.
Answered by: Claire Perry
The current rail franchise which has been directly awarded to First Great Western started on 13 October 2013. It did not specify details of on-train catering services, which train operators are best placed to manage. The refreshed Franchising Schedule published on 10 October 2014 said that a further directly awarded franchise of 3½ years was anticipated to be awarded to First Great Western after the end of the current franchise on 19 September 2015. The Department for Transport is currently in discussion with First Great Western about the terms of this second directly awarded franchise.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the terms of the rail franchise directly awarded to First Great Western in October 2014 retain the role of guard on all trains for the duration of the contract.
The current rail franchise which has been directly awarded to First Great Western started on 13 October 2013. It makes no provision about the role of the guard.

The Department for Transport is currently in discussion with First Great Western about the terms of this second directly awarded franchise.
Department for Transport2nd February
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the at-seat catering service provided under the directly awarded franchise on the Great Western Main Line will be in addition to a buffet car or café-bar on the train.
Department for Transport 3rd February
Railways: Franchises
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will place in the Library an updated copy of the franchise payment profile for all train operating companies until 2023.
The Secretary of State for Transport will endeavour to place an updated copy of the contracted franchise payment profiles for all train operating companies until 2023 (as they exist) in the Libraries of both Houses within three weeks from today. This time is required as the schedule is being updated to reflect the major changes to the payment profiles as a result of CP5 and changes to fares policy.
Home Office 9th February
Data Protection: Acquisition
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to publish all responses received to her Department's consultation on the codes of practice relating to the acquisition and retention of data.
Answered by: James Brokenshire
The consultation on the codes of practice relating to the acquisition, disclosure, and retention of communications data closed on 20 January. Over 290 responses were received, which are currently being considered. Final version of the codes will be laid before Parliament. Not all of those who responded to the consultation gave their consent for their responses to be made public.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timescale and process will be for her Department's response to its consultation on the codes of practice relating to the acquisition and retention of data; and if she will make a statement.
Home Office 10th February
Communications Data and Interception Powers Review
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timescale and process will be for public discussion of the Communications Data and Interception review conducted by David Anderson QC; and what opportunities will arise for parliamentary scrutiny of those conclusions.
Section 7 of the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014 provides that David Anderson QC, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, must, so far as reasonably practicable, complete his review of investigatory powers before 1 May 2015. The Government has been clear that David Anderson's findings will be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny.
Ministry of Justice 27th February
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking to reduce the delays in criminal proceedings in courts in England and Wales.
Answered by: Mike Penning
The Transforming Summary Justice programme is a collaboration between the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts designed to ensure that magistrates' court cases are prepared and prosecuted in a timely and efficient manner. It is in the process of being rolled out and will be operating throughout England and Wales by May 2015. The recent report of the Review of Efficiency in Criminal Proceedings, which was carried out by Sir Brian Leveson, President of the Queen's Bench Division, makes detailed recommendations for improving efficiency, some of which build on these initiatives. The Government is now considering these recommendations
Victim Support Schemes 27th
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what government funds are available for victims' support organisations in England and Wales.
This Government is committed to supporting victims, by ensuring that they have access to high-quality, effective and timely support. We have made more money than ever before available for this purpose, increasing the contribution offenders make to the costs of providing support, and more than doubling the victims budget to over £92million for 2015/16.
Locally accountable Police and Crime Commissioners are now responsible for the provision of support services in their areas and will receive the bulk of the available funding with which to do so. This was £63.15m in 2015/16.
Some services remain nationally commissioned. This includes support for families bereaved by homicide, support for victims of rape and modern slavery, and support for witnesses at court. National services have recently been competitively re-commissioned.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what procedures are in place to inform victims of the reasons for any delays in criminal matters being listed for court.
Witness Care Units (WCUs) update Victims on information relating to their case. Under the Code of Practice for Victims courts have responsibility for providing information to WCUs about matters affecting the victim and WCUs then provide a single point of contact for victims throughout the duration of the case.
The Government has committed to creating a system that puts the highest emphasis on victims' needs and set out their rights clearly in legislation.

A: If your images are of average resolution, then loading them (BitmapFactory.decodeResource) in the Main thread will block the UI, causing some touch events to be skipped untill the loading is performed. A better implementation is to use SurfaceView instead of View since it performs its drawing in a separate thread. Check this link for more details on using SurfaceView.

Giving Birth At Home Is A 'Safer' Option For Mums-To-Be
by Vivian KELLY	Published on 3 December 2014
Feeling broody? This will come as big news!! According to new advice from the NHS, giving birth at home is a 'safer' option for many mums-to-be. Which means under the new guidelines for England and Wales A LOT (we're talking thousands) of women might be giving birth in their own living room, bed or even the kitchen floor. Here's what you need to know.
We can't help but feel like we've time travelled back to the 1950s! New evidence shows that almost half (45 percent) of women giving birth are at 'extremely low risk of complications' meaning a lot more of us could be giving birth at home or in midwife-led centres. And apparently, it's 'safer' too!
Yep, true story. This is because there's less medical intervention during the birth and surprisingly there is no increased risk of complications either (even for first time mothers)!
Health advisory body, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says the new advice calls for the need of more midwifery-led units and less pressure for in-hospital obstetric units in the future.
Clinical practice director at NICE, Professor Mark Baker, said:"Most women are healthy and have straightforward pregnancies and births.
"Over the years evidence has emerged which shows that, for this group of women, giving birth in a midwife-led unit instead of a traditional labour ward is a safe option.
"Research also shows that a home birth is generally safer than hospital for pregnant women at low risk of complications who have given birth before."
However, there are mixed views on whether or not this is a safe bet. Lucy Jolin of the Birth Trauma Association told the BBC: "Things can go wrong very easily and we do feel this advice could be dangerous."
This news calls for greater freedom for mothers to choose where they want to give birth which is great. But essentially it's really up to personal choice and how comfortable YOU feel.
So what's your take on the big news - would you feel safe giving birth out of hospital?

David McArthur, Senior Manager, Media Relations
Louisville, KY (April 30, 2018) - Vibra Healthcare, LLC ("Vibra") has announced today that it has reached an agreement to purchase full ownership of Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital ("SIRH"). For many years, KentuckyOne Health has managed and operated SIRH, in partnership with Clark Memorial Hospital and Baptist Health Floyd. The transition to Vibra Healthcare is set to close on June 18, 2018.
"Vibra Healthcare looks forward to continuing to serve the greater southern Indiana community with comprehensive medical rehabilitation services," said Brad Hollinger, president and CEO of Vibra. "Our intention is to continue to provide exceptional care for SIRH patients and to enhance existing services by utilizing our expertise and experience from operating similar hospitals, including several located in Indiana and Kentucky."
"On behalf of the team at SIRH, we are looking forward to becoming a Vibra Healthcare facility," stated William Boso, executive director, Southern Indiana Rehab Hospital. "The collaborative support of all three of our partners has built a solid foundation and reputation. As part of Vibra Healthcare, we will continue our mission of serving the southern Indiana region with the highest quality rehab services for many years to come."
"As the managing partner of SIRH, KentuckyOne Health is proud of the legacy established in southern Indiana," said Charles Neumann, interim CEO, KentuckyOne Health. "We look forward to working with Vibra Healthcare on a smooth transition for SIRH and the continued collaboration with our specialists at Frazier Rehab to ensure the entire region has access to quality rehabilitation services."
"I believe Vibra Healthcare is going be a valuable partner as we continue to improve the health of our southern Indiana communities," said Martin Padgett, CEO, Clark Memorial Hospital. "Rehab is such an important part of completing the journey to wellness. I'm proud of the role Clark Memorial has played in this partnership for the last 24 years, and I'm excited about the future possibilities of SIRH."
"SIRH has been our hidden jewel of rehab for many years and we are excited about this sale and new ownership," stated Dan Eichenberger, MD, CEO of Baptist Health Floyd. "The healthcare environment is rapidly changing; with SIRH's ownership and operation by an organization highly focused on rehab services, there is support for long-term success. We will continue partnering with SIRH just as we have for the past many years because it benefits our patients and community."
