Crowdsourcing is thought in this article as a way to handle emergency situations. Dr Anu Vaidyanathan, in her article: Use of technology for emergency response talks about her dissertation titled Proactive Crowdsourcing, her name for a Location-Based Service that could be used for Emergency Response.
Minutes after the February 22, 2011, earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, our power lines and water supply stopped working. For those with a battery-operated radio, news of the unfolding disaster was still available, minus images on television. Others like me, with an MP3 player that could also get on radio, were limited by the battery-life of the player itself. Most emergency lines were jammed for the first few hours following the disaster as people came to terms with what had happened, the news spread and calls poured in to establish the safety of loved ones.
[…] Through the whole time, what struck me as most odd was that not one mass-SMS was sent to inform citizens about where they could access resources. The use of technology in times of disaster can be very crucial, especially when considering human density in places such as India where the loss of life in natural disasters is huge. I had been through one other emergency such as this one, when I was a graduate student during the twin tower bombings on September 11, 2001. I was at college in Raleigh, North Carolina, which was a good ten-hour drive from New York. However, the memories of that night, with parents of many friends calling me from India, when they couldn't reach their children, will never leave me. In terms of co-location, for the parents of my friends in India, I was the closest to the emergency.
Both natural disasters and emergencies, especially ones that lead to massive loss of life, bear inspection in terms of how to utilise technology to mitigate some portions of the anxiety and uncertainty that follow such an occurrence. In this article, I explore an idea from my dissertation titled Proactive Crowdsourcing which proposes Location-Based Services in non-commercial spheres such as Emergency Response.
Most proposals for managing emergencies, except in the areas of surveillance, are reactive in nature. This curbs their effectiveness by several orders of magnitude. In the case of emergency management, the need of the hour is to enable more proactive solutions. Crowdsourcing is a term used to describe de-centralising operations and trusting the work to the co-ordinated actions of a crowd. Instead of an Emergency Services provider waiting until the emergency has occurred, assessing the nature of the problem and then deploying resources, if they could instead rely on citizens co-located with the emergency, the management of the emergency would become more agile and effective. Users co-located with the emergency are, arguably, the best sources of information on what might be needed to mitigate the effects.
Sometimes, the requirements are not intuitive and no amount of surveillance or pre and post-op training can predict the needs of the people affected by the disaster. For example, in the case of Hurricane Katrina, one of the biggest requirements that the responders fell short of was ice! Enhanced 911 (or E-911) was proposed in order to link people at the time of an emergency to critical resources. Reverse 911 is another example of a public safety communications system that was built to communicate with people within certain geographies where a database of phone numbers and associated addresses are used to identify citizens co-located with emergencies. Both E-911 and Reverse 911 fall in the category of reactive systems or approaches to the problem. In the case of Reverse 911, the biggest barrier to effectiveness is that in case of a fire in San Diego, locating all households in San Diego en masse may not be the most efficient action plan. There might potentially be several people that have travelled to San Diego from surrounding areas or from afar and locating them is best achieved via a cell-phone, rather than fixed geographical and list-based approaches.

New Clariant leather centre in Ranipet
Clariant, the global leather chemical maker has opened a new Leather Excellence Center in Ranipet near Chennai on July 5. The new centre is a US$1 million investment for the company who currently are looking to sell their Leather Services business unit.
It is a major investment by the company in its leather business, and a strong indication that the company's Leather Business Unit sees great opportunities for continued growth in the Indian leather manufacturing sector.
"We are totally committed to the long term development of our services and products for India's leather sector," states Oliver Kinkel, head of Clariant's global Leather Business Unit. "We see the country's leather related businesses growing and we expect to see above average growth for our products and services. We are looking for double-digit growth from the business in India."
Clariant already has major production sites in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, and in Roha, Maharashtra, both situated close to major leather processing zones. Ranipet, Chennai, was chosen for the development of the new Leather Excellence Center as it is perfectly positioned to enable Clariant to provide a central application laboratory and technical services for the whole country, and especially for all the key accounts across southern India.

The new laboratory and excellence center will house the entire technical and marketing team and will improve the BU's efficiency and its ability to provide customised solutions for the development of leather articles. The well-equipped laboratory, with the most up-to-date machinery from many major Italian companies, can process leather from beamhouse through to finishing, and also includes a new testing facility for water-repellent leathers.
"We have a product range for all stages of leather production. The new laboratory will be instrumental in bringing Clariant's latest technologies and systems to our customers at an even faster pace than before," Kumaresan states. "It shows our commitment to the specialty chemicals business in offering innovative and personalised solutions for our customers. It will also help in getting information to them more speedily about important European fashion trends. Clariant works in close collaboration with Modeurope, as well as with CLRI, India's Central Leather Research Institute."
New innovation centre in Ranipet
Dr Deepak Parikh, VC&MD, Clariant Chemicals (India) Limited said: "The new center is a vivid example of Clariant's desire to consolidate and upgrade its capabilities on a continuous basis in the country. We believe double-digit growth is realistic and the business is gaining momentum as customers appreciate the value of our innovations and personalized solutions."
"We've set our targets for 2015," says Kinkel, "and they include strong growth rates and profitability based on our competitive position. We will continue to further improve our focus on our innovation success rate, with new R&D developments, solutions and processes."
This new investment in India's leather industry shows that Clariant and CCIL remain very optimistic about the country's business environment.

Engie ... an impressive Gulf Industry Fair debut.
Engie 'powering' Bahrain's utility sector
MANAMA, February 7, 2018
Engie, a French multinational utility company, is a dominant player in Bahrain's utility sector supplying 90 per cent of the potable water and 70 per cent of the power in the kingdom, said a top official.
Engie has a number of sites and plants in Bahrain, stated Laura Thomson, the Head of Asset Management UAE, Middle East, South and Central Asia, Turkey, on the sidelines of the Gulf Industry Fair (GIF).
Engie, which is making its debut at the Northern Gulf's leading specialist business-to-business (B2B) event for industrial products and services, said the Gulf Industry Fair was "very well attended, strategic and important for Bahrain."
With a regional head office in Dubai, UAE, Engie has been active in the Gulf region for more than 30 years, generating 30 GW of power and around 5 million cu m of desalinated water.
It operates 22 power plants in the region including three in Bahrain, one in Kuwait, six in Oman, two in Qatar, four in Saudi Arabia and six in the UAE.
"It was very important to bring solar power to Bahrain as it is obviously an important energy resource within the region," observed Thomson.
"We are sponsor for a number of power suppliers in the region including Al Dur, Al Ezzel and Al Hidd in Bahrain," she stated.
"We basically power Bahrain and provide the water," she added.-TradeArabia News Service

Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program Attracts New Solutions for the OnGuard® Security Platform
PITTSFORD, N.Y. – April 2, 2014 — Now in its 15th year, the Lenel OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP) continues to incorporate a wide variety of third-party solutions that add value to OnGuard®, Lenel Systems International's industry-leading security platform. The program currently has 120 active partners, with a rigorous certification process that ensures system compatibility and customer satisfaction. Lenel is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
Third-party providers offer more than 100 Lenel-certified products and solutions in a variety of categories, such as visitor management, time and attendance, radio frequency identification (RFID), license plate recognition, intrusion, mass notification, mobile readers, wireless locks, elevator control and more. The OAAP has also certified more than 100 camera types. "The program was developed in the spirit of open architecture and Lenel's commitment to provide security through a single, seamless solution," said Gidon Lissai, director of strategic alliances, Lenel. "It's important for us to partner with other manufacturers to develop interfaces to the OnGuard platform for the mutual benefit of our customers and to continue to provide leading-edge capabilities."
The open architecture of OnGuard makes the OAAP possible. The program is open to companies interested in developing interfaces based on the OnGuard application programming interface (API), which is available on the Lenel website. Lenel tests each interface, validating that it is stable, does not break any OnGuard functionality and provides the customer with the value claimed by the third-party company.
These interfaces are then marketed on a global scale to more than 20,000 OnGuard system users worldwide that are seeking solutions provided by the OAAP companies. Those companies are required to recertify their interface whenever Lenel releases a new version of OnGuard.
"This program is a triple win — it benefits OnGuard users, the third-party providers and Lenel," Lissai said. The process for joining the OAAP is outlined on the Lenel website at http://www.lenel.com/oaap. The site also lists those organizations offering OnGuard interfaces that have completed the Lenel certification process.


Babies are worn the world over. This is because, amongst other things, body contact is a basic necessity for babies: it is essential for the development of their nervous system and promotes bonding between parent and child. Wearing your child in a wrap, sling, or baby carrier is an easy way of meeting his or her basic needs. Your child can discover the world from this safe environment. It is convenient for you as well: your hands are free more often and you can continue your activities while still being there for your child. Wearing is the ideal option for babies who cry a lot or have (hidden) reflux or colic.
For babywearing it is important to find a wrap, sling, or carrier that is comfortable for both of you. This is important for your back as well as for your child's hip development. We can refer you to het Knooppunt in Voorschoten for reliable advice and good-quality, pretty baby slings.

BENGALURU: Two days after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) investigating the alleged horse doping scandal involving three-year-old filly Queen Latifa at the Bangalore Turf Club (BTC) filed a chargesheet, two of the six accused – co-owner of the horse and restaurateur Arjun Sajnani and his business partner Vivek Ubhayakar – have denied the charges.
Welcoming the chargesheet in the case, they told Deccan Chronicle that procaine, administered by the BTC vet, on Queen Latifa is a non-performance-enhancing anaesthetic and it was given to the filly to alleviate the pain from a penicillin injection 25 days before the race. The correspondence between various labs and the BTC vet are available for scrutiny and they clearly indicate lack of presence of any drug, they said.
"Both Vivek and I have always stated that we are innocent of all charges and the filing of the chargesheet provides us with the opportunity of obtaining an honourable discharge. We have always held that the case against all of us is the result of calumny, misrepresentation and malice. We have no hesitation in unequivocally saying that nefarious persons with vested interests have initiated a process in court which will lend to the wastage of precious court time and effort of agencies which could have been better employed to serve society by ridding the state of genuine crime and not concocted, contrived cases like the one we have been foisted with. The lies that have been put out to the media are disgusting and shameful," Mr Sajnani said.
Mr Sajnani said, "Vivek and I have been associated with racing for over 30 years without the slightest trace of a slur against either of us. We will seek judicial recourse against this chargesheet and endeavour, through the judicial system in which we have complete faith, to remove the blight and dishonour that may possibly have been brought on to us and the BTC with the kind of malicious, lying propaganda put out by those who wish to bring disgrace and disrepute to this sport."BTC's former CEO Nirmal Prasad too has been named in the chargesheet.

Indian Prime Ministers, Narendra Modi seen in a selfie with Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong and his wife Ho Ching
After a successful visit to the Silicon Valley in the west coast, the Indian PM Narendra Modi visited Singapore from the 23-25 of November, 2015.
The tour was successful, as India signed a Strategic Partnership agreement with Singapore and signed nine bilateral agreements for defense cooperation and security areas, also including smart cities and urban solutions, skills development, connectivity and economic cooperation. The master-planning of Amaravati - the new capital city of Andhra Pradesh - and support of the Centre of Excellence in Tourism Training in Udaipur are parts of these agreements.
When Mr. Modi visited the Singapore Expo, he was welcomed wholeheartedly by about 18,000 people mostly Indian expatriates. The event was organized by the NRI forum. The prime minister cheered the roaring crowd and said, "Last year, I came to Singapore in March. I had come to pay my last respects to Lee KuanYew, the legend, the great man, who transformed village of fishermen into what it is today….India has a lot to learn from Singapore and cited cleanliness as one lesson".
Mr. Modi also visited INA memorial Marker in Singapore, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had laid foundation stone for a memorial dedicated to the "unknown" warriors of INA in July 1945.
India PM Narendra Modi also highlighted the bilateral cooperation opportunities at India-Singapore Economic Convention where he addressed business leaders from both the countries. He also spoke on his "Act East" policy during this state address. Mr. Modi also visited the ITE College Central's Maritime Training Centre, its Aerospace Hub - where they watched students perform engine inspection and maintenance training on various aircrafts.
In between his hectic schedule he was invited to the dinner that was hosted by the Singaporean PM and his wife at Komala Vilas restaurant in Singapore's 'Little India'. It was here, where besides PM Modi, the selfie was also posted by Lee on his Twitter account, saying: "Ho Ching & I took PM @NarendraModi to Little India.
He also met construction workers at Army Memorial at Esplanade Pak, where he happily obliged for a click with them.
Indian PM also launched a commemorative Singapore India stamp. Importantly, over the past decades, both countries have developed a special relationship rooted in strong historical and cultural ties, and bolstered by close and growing cooperation in various sectors. This visit was aimed at strengthening these historical bilateral ties. This visit is of special significance as this year also marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between India and Singapore, after Singapore gained independence in 1965.

"Part of the honour of playing for Australia is now dead": O'Donnell
Former Australian all-rounder Simon O'Donnell doesn't believe the modern day cricketers in Australia value the honour of representing their country as much as they should.
With T20 cricket prevalent right across the world, players can now ply their trade in a variety of competitions with the financial windfall a huge lure for cricketers wanting to set themselves up for life.
"What has changed in cricket massively is when you played cricket 10, 20 and 30 years ago, once you fell out of the Australian side, there was nothing there to catch you," O'Donnell told SEN.
"You fell back to grade cricket and Shield cricket where there was no money.
"Now there's all these different cradles that will catch guys coming off the international scene, whether it be IPL, West Indies league, Pakistan league, all these different opportunities to make a living."
INJURY-PRONE QUICK NAMED IN T20 SQUAD, STAR PACE TRIO RESTED
THE FORMER PLAYERS FLEMING NOMINATES FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE ROLE
Because of this, O'Donnell thinks the money in the game has become a priority for cricketers in Australia over striving to play at the highest level.
"I don't think the care-factor is there for Australia anymore, I hate saying that, I feel my heartrate rate going up now," O'Donnell added.
"I don't think people care enough now about playing for Australia because money has become such a necessary evil within the game, everyone is earning such a living out of the game, I think many are visiting that first.
"I think part of the honour of playing for Australia is now dead and that somehow has to be reinvented."

If you have chronic redness like me, then you know that it's incredibly difficult to cover with traditional makeup. My flushed complexion is due to a slight case of rosacea, which has been something I've struggled with since high school (one morning, I noticed a tinge of redness crossing my forehead, nose, and cheeks, and it's stayed put ever since). Other people struggle with redness caused by blemishes or chronic sensitivity and irritation. Either way, it's all the same. Even the most heavy-duty concealers and high-coverage foundations struggle to keep the redness contained.
That's where green concealer—otherwise known as color-corrector—comes into play. It might sound (and look) intimidating, but it's honestly one of the most effective anti-redness makeup tools out there. It's surprisingly simple to use too—once you know the proper application technique.
To explain how it works, we have to take a trip back in time to elementary school art class. Remember when we learned about the color wheel, namely how certain colors are placed opposite of one another? Well, green is placed opposite of red, meaning when you layer a green makeup product over a red blemish, it works to neutralize the color. The same thing works with bluish under-eye circles. If you color-correct with a peach-colored concealer, the circles won't look nearly as dramatic. Because, again, orange is placed opposite of blue.
Who knew elementary school art class would come in handy like this? Not us.
There's only one catch. "When using green corrector, it's best to use it on fair and medium skin tones where the color can still be blended to look natural on the skin," explains New York–based makeup artist Ashley Rebecca. As for application, she recommends starting with your normal base of makeup. "Apply your skincare first, and then apply your foundation after," she says. "Next, lightly tap the green corrector in areas you want to conceal, and then finish with a flesh-toned concealer on top to blend everything together." So basically it only requires one extra step.
There's no complicated layering or product mixing. Simply apply the green color-correcting product to the red area after foundation, and then put a regular concealer on top. Easy peasy.
Just be sure to follow the right application order. The key is to put foundation on first and then reach for the color-corrector. This is because prior makeup application will show you which red areas are hidden by a single layer of makeup and which ones need a little extra help. In other words, it will stop you from applying too much product.
As for Rebecca's favorite green color-correctors, she recommends CoverFX's Green Correct Click ($18), which is a highly pigmented and ultra-blendable cream stick formula.
She also likes Urban Decay's Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid ($29), which, in our experience, is super easy to apply in precise and targeted strokes thanks to the doe-foot applicator. Each of the color correctors is infused with vitamins E and C to condition and protect the skin. Our favorite way to use it is to apply to a blemish or red area, blend out with a beauty sponge, and then blot a skin tone–matching concealer over top.
Finally, she recommends this Marc Jacobs Beauty color corrector, which color-corrects redness at the same time that it brightens the complexion thanks to a swirl of green and peach. It achieves a neutral, radiant finish. Take it from Sephora customers, as it has 10,000 "loves" on the beauty retailer's website. It also has glowing reviews like this: "I love this. I have very dry and red skin, and this does the trick to correct the redness and looks so natural. I apply it with my fingers and put a tinted moisturizer over it, and it looks so natural and I would have never imagined my face could look like that."
This budget-friendly liquid concealer offers medium- to full-coverage, depending on how sheer you blend it (which, in all transparency, can take a little time and elbow grease). The result is worth it though. After we applied a skin-matching concealer over top of it, all redness was minimized.
L.A. Girl is responsible for another drugstore green concealer that works as well as high-end options. It's crease-resistant too, which means it won't settle into any fine lines around the nose, mouth, and forehead (three common places for redness). Ulta customers say it's drier than other formulas on the market, but once it sets, it lasts all day. "Great concealer for the price. I gave it four stars because it dries fast and you have to blend right away or it clumps. I put on two thin layers, and it lasts all day," one customer says.
Most color-correcting products require a separate blending tool, whether that's a beauty sponge, brush, or (let's be honest) your fingers. This one is unique in that it comes with an attached blending tip. While it might not totally erase redness, it will reduce the appearance of it substantially. At least that has been my experience.
This K-beauty redness corrector is a cream that contains Centella Asiatica, a medicinal herb traditionally used to expedite wound healing and soothe irritation. It also has sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to boost moisture levels and radiance. As one Sephora customer puts it, "This must contain unicorn tears because this is nothing short of a miracle. I use this after I moisturize, and it blends in so well. Any spots that need color correction vanish and my skin looks and feels smooth.
I can see why anyone with darker skin would not like this, as it does blend to a lighter tone. This is worth every penny for me though!"
One of the products I swear by for correcting my chronic redness is this green concealer stick from E.l.f. Cosmetics. It's only $4 and lasts for months, which means I don't feel bad about applying it wherever I need to. In other words, it's not an expensive product that I feel like I have to conserve for special occasions. It's a daily go-to.
For something that goes beyond makeup, try using this Stila three-in-one primer, serum, and color corrector. Green is mixed with lavender (which corrects dullness) and peach (which brightens). It's meant to be applied post-cleanser and pre–makeup application. Take it from one Sephora reviewer who writes, "The best under-foundation base I've tried to tame my ruddy complexion and concealing lines on my forehead."
Now that you know how to cover redness with green concealer, read all about rosacea and what could be triggering it in your skin.

Oxygen levels, acid-base status and heart rate during emersion of the shore crab Carcinus maenas (L.) into air
Michèle G. Wheatly, E. W. Taylor
1. When the ambient oxygen tension of the water was lowered, unrestrained shore crabs acclimated to 15, 20 and 25°C emerged into air to ventilate the branchial chambers when the inspired oxygen tension ( {Mathematical expression}) was reduced to mean values of 37±4 mmHg, 51±6 mmHg and 119±3 mmHg respectively. There is a positive correlation between {Mathematical expression} at emersion and acclimation temperature (Fig. 1). 2. The extent to which the {Mathematical expression} of the water in the branchial chambers was increased by emersion was related to the length of time emerged (Fig. 2), and inversely proportional to the {Mathematical expression} at emersion (Fig. 3). 3. Following 60 s emersion at 15°C there was a marked increase in oxygen content of the postbranchial haemolymph ( {Mathematical expression}), pHa was reduced and {Mathematical expression} increased (Table 1). The same trend in acid-base balance was observed at 25°C but {Mathematical expression} was unchanged as emersion was from virtually normoxic water (Table 2). 4. Emersion from water at 25°C into air at 25°C and 60% R.H. caused no significant change in heart rate or core temperature. Emersion into air at 17°C was accompanied by a decreased heart rate and core temperature. 5. At relatively low temperatures emersion from hypoxic water serves to aerate the branchial chambers and lead to an increase in {Mathematical expression}, which together with a recovery tachycardia restores the oxygen supply to the tissues. CO2 accumulates during emersion but to a lesser extent than during air-breathing, so that CO2 exchange with water is retained during emersion. At 25°C emersion into cool air may serveto reduce the crab's temperature thus reducing its oxygen demand.

DONT MISS your chance to see THE LAST DAYS OF PETER BERGMANN
The Last Days of Peter Bergmann is one of the things I'm most proud of from all the different things I've had the pleasure of cutting. The Film has had a tremendous life on the festival circuit, getting selected for Sundance, Winning awards at IFI Stranger than Fiction, Nashville, Melbourne, Camden and elsewhere, Qualifying for the Oscars twice and of course prompting a lot of debate. The film's director Ciaran Cassidy has had a wonderful year of jetting around the world presenting the film.
Now, tonight, Irish audiences will finally get a chance to see the film as it is showing on RTE1 at 11:20.
IT IS AVAILABLE TO WATCH ONLINE HERE
Watch it, Record it, just don't miss it.
The Last days of Peter Bergmann tells the story of a man calling himself Peter Bergmann who arrived in Sligo Town in the summer of 2009. Over his final three days, he went to great lengths to make sure that no one would ever know who he was or where he came from.
The Film has twice qualified for Oscar eligibility and on winning the prestigious Melbourne IFF award, the jury had this to say about it.
"Ciaran Cassidy taps the voyeur in all of us with his masterful appropriation of hours of compelling CCTV footage that track a tantalising incomplete picture of The Last Days of Peter Bergmann. Coupled with a series of compelling interviews, Cassidy manages to invert the mystery genre from whodunnit to why. Meticulously researched, this is a riveting ride that leaves the audience rooted to their seats as they act out the role of both spy and detective."

A minigame (also spelled mini game, sometimes called a subgame or microgame) is a short video game often contained within another video game, and sometimes in application software or on a display of any form of hardware. A minigame contains different gameplay elements than the main game, may be optional, and is often smaller or more simplistic than the game in which it is contained. Minigames are sometimes also offered separately for free to promote the main game. Some minigames can also be bonus stages or secret levels.
Minigames occur variously as gameplay features, or as time fillers while levels are loading, or as Easter eggs even in non video games e.g. a DOOM-like game or a flight simulator in different versions of Microsoft Excel. In the latter case, they are often called "secret games". In the former case, the successful completion of such minigames may or may not be required to finish the encompassing game. They are often included as extra content to use once the main storyline is completed. Minigames occur also on other forms of hardware e.g. on a dot-matrix display of a pinball machine or even as time filler on a traffic light e.g. StreetPong.[1]
Minigame compilations
Some games, such as the WarioWare series (which are called microgames in the game), Universal Research Laboratories's Video Action, some Cinemaware titles like Defender of the Crown, David Whittaker's Lazy Jones or the smartphone satire Phone Story are made up of many minigames strung together into one video game. Some similar games, such as Nintendo's Mario Party series, are considered party games, specifically developed for multiplayer. In party games, minigames usually involve performing an activity faster or collecting more of a specified item than other players to win.
Notable examples
The Legend of Zelda games have many minigames in each game, often having prizes such as Pieces of Heart (increasing Link's health), Rupees (the games' currency), and upgrades (quiver, wallet, etc.)
The Final Fantasy series is notable for featuring minigames in every entry of the series, ever since the first Final Fantasy (1987), in which a sliding puzzle in the form of an Easter egg can be unlocked while boarding the ship. Considered to be the first RPG minigame, it was added into the game by programmer Nasir Gebelli despite it not being part of Squaresoft's original game design.[2] In Final Fantasy II (1988), a matching game can be unlocked while boarding the ice sled and meeting a certain requirement. Later in the series, Final Fantasy VII (1997) was the first video game to include within it at least thirty minigames, which remains the largest number of minigames for a role-playing game. The PC game Chronomaster featured similar puzzle minigames which were crucial to the plot.
The early Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Sega Genesis had minigame bonus/special stages, such as bouncing around a maze searching for a special gem, or collecting gold rings while running down a tube, and stray from standard gameplay. Sonic the Hedgehog 3, for example, has a special stage in which Sonic must run around trying to touch all the blue spheres, while avoiding red ones, and interacting with other spheres, who have special properties. This bonus stage actually became its own game. By inserting the original Sonic 1 (or Sonic Classics 3 in 1) cartridge into the Sonic and Knuckles lock-on slot, you can then press A, B, and C, then enter any given password to play the special stage corresponding to that password, which plays exactly like those of Sonic 3.
Like above, some minigames become so popular that they are eventually published as individual titles by themselves. Notable examples are Geometry Wars, which was originally a minigame in Project Gotham Racing 2, and Arcomage, a relatively complex minigame, reminiscent of Magic: The Gathering, first introduced in Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor.
The PocketStation (for Sony PlayStation) and VMU (for Dreamcast) accessories allowed the user to download minigames from the main console onto the pocket device, and often then sync progress in the minigame back on to the console. Two examples of this include the Chocobo World minigame inside Final Fantasy VIII[3] (which is also playable on PC), and 'Chao Adventure', a minigame in Sonic Adventure.

In cases of physical danger, members of the public can enter the 24/7 "Safe Haven" lobby and press an emergency button, which locks the exterior door and automatically calls Arlington's Emergency Communications Center.
The appearance of the Emergency Call Boxes may vary slightly in the different "Safe Haven" lobbies but they all function the same. Pushing the emergency button will directly call 9-1-1, lock the exterior lobby doors and activate a camera.


I was lucky to attend the largest Dandiya event in the bay area with my daughter. The event took place at the Santa Clara convention Center, Oct. 23, on a 67,000 sq.ft. dance floor. The colorful event attracted around 6,500 people, families with kids, and groups of singles, out to have fun for a cause, writes Vasudha Badri-Paul.
As always, Sankara's Dandia 2015 was completely sold out, many days prior to the event, making it a much sought after Friday night activity in the Bay Area. The theme for the fun-filled event was "Dandia for a cause – Dandia with style." The trending twitter hashtag was #SEFDandia. This particular fundraiser was to raise money for their new hospital in Indore, India.
The gathering was very colorful, with several participants both male and female, dressed in traditional multicolored outfits. Dandiya sticks were available for those that did not have a pair.
A cafeteria in the far corner served pizza, wraps, and drinks and the few stalls had vendors selling tea and offering services. Everything was very well organized with several Sankara volunteers helping with different tasks and keeping the crowd moving smoothly from the entrance to the dance floor.
The event ran for 5 hours and the talented Los Angeles band, Preetysha and Sameer, performed for an enthusiastic crowd. There was also a splendid bharatnatyam dance performance prior to the floor being opened for the fun Dandiya dancing.
The dancing sequence for the event was "Garba" prior to the Aarti, a prayer to God and "Dandiya" afterwards. Raas or Dandiya Raas is the traditional folk dance form of Gujarat, India, and is associated with scenes of Holi, and lila of Krishna and Radha at Vrindavan. The altar on the floor depicted deities and images associated with the festivals and offerings were made for their blessings for all humanity.
Sankara Eye Foundation gives free eye surgeries to children and adults in India who are visually handicapped. Sankara has a chain of 13 eye hospitals comprising a team of 200 doctors, 600 paramedical professionals, 275 support staff and total bed strength of 1,800. It has treated and performed more than 1.2 million Free Eye Care surgeries and every day about 500 eye care surgeries are performed in Sankara Hospitals. The movement was founded by Dr. R.V. Ramani and Dr. Radha Ramani in 1977. Currently there are 13 hospitals all over India, from the South to the North, with 3 more opening in the near future, in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Hyderabad.
Vasudha Badri-Paul lives in San Jose, Calif. She is a marketing professional, currently working at NewzSocial. Her interests include writing, nature, yoga, martial arts, and dance. She is actively involved with The Indus Entrepreneurs and Women In Technology International.

Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico awarded Spinal Cord Injury Certification from The Joint Commission
Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for Spinal Cord Injury Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization's commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
The certification recognizes health care organizations that provide clinical programs across the continuum of care for Spinal Cord Injury. The certification evaluates how organizations use clinical outcomes and performance measures to identify opportunities to improve care, as well as to educate and prepare patients and their caregivers for discharge.
Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review on July 25, 2019. During the visit, a Joint Commission reviewer evaluated compliance with related certification standards including program management, selecting and analyzing quality performance measures, and delivering and facilitating clinical care specifically designed for Spinal Cord Injury Survivors. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
"Spinal Cord Injury Certification recognizes health care organizations committed to fostering continuous quality improvement in patient safety and quality of care," says Mark Pelletier, RN, MS, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. "We commend Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico for using certification to reduce variation in its clinical processes and to strengthen its program structure and management framework for Spinal Cord Injury patients."
"Our team is privileged to care for those that have gone through extremely difficult, life-changing events and to be able to keep their care close to home," says Sabrina Martin, chief executive officer of Rehabilitation Hospital of Southern New Mexico. "Spinal Cord Injury Survivors require highly specialized care and our team dedicated themselves to earning this certification to help these survivors, in our region. I am so proud of the hard work put forth by our hospital and very proud to be the first Spinal Cord Injury program certified by The Joint Commission in our entire company."
In preparation for this certification survey, staff training and competency for clinical and non-clinical staff was completed and is ongoing. Education includes elements of the program such as Critical Practice Guidelines, bowel, and bladder program, signs and symptoms of Autonomic Dysreflexia, and positioning to prevent skin breakdown. All Spinal Cord Injury Survivors are placed in the Transitional Outcomes Program for follow up for at least 30 days after discharge. A Spinal Cord Injury patient education manual was developed, as well as a 3-day checklist, to guide the interdisciplinary core team in assessment and implementation of care components upon admission.
To assist with community reintegration and preventing readmissions, the Spinal Cord Injury team instituted a community support group and established a peer support list provided to the patients upon discharge.

S Korea president apologizes for "disgraceful" scandal
South Korea's president Park Geun-hye has personally apologized for a sexual harassment scandal involving her chief spokesman and a female Korean-American intern during her trip to Washington.
Park begged pardon for the "unsavory" incident between now-dismissed Yoon Chang Jung and a young intern who filed a complaint against the South Korean official for allegedly harassing her during the latter part of the president's official visit to the US.
"I feel so sorry for letting my people (become) disappointed because of this disgraceful incident, which a public official shouldn't be involved in," Park said in a meeting on Monday.
"I sincerely apologize for the shock the female student and her parents must have received and the scars left on the hearts of overseas compatriots," she said, according to a report of the meeting posted on the presidential Blue House website.
Park, South Korea's first female leader, vowed a thorough investigation into the incident so that no "single speck" of suspicion remained.

Soyfood intake during adolescence and subsequent risk of breast cancer among Chinese women
Ou Shu Xiao Ou Shu, F. Jin, Q. Dai, W. Wen, J. D. Potter, L. H. Kushi, Z. Ruan, Y. T. Gao, W. Zheng
Many experimental but few epidemiological studies have suggested that soyfoods and their constituents have cancer-inhibitory effects on breast cancer. No epidemiological study has evaluated the association of adolescent soyfood intake with the risk of breast cancer. To evaluate the effect of soyfood intake during adolescence, one of the periods that breast tissue is most sensitive to environmental stimuli, on subsequent risk of breast cancer, we analyzed data from a population-based case-control of 1459 breast cancer cases and 1556 age-matched controls (respective response rates were 91.1% and 90.3%). Information on dietary intake from ages 13-15 years was obtained by interview from all study participants and, in addition, from mothers of subjects less than 45 years of age (296 cases and 359 controls). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) derived from unconditional logistic models were used to measure soyfood intake and breast cancer risk. After adjustment for a variety of other risk factors, adolescent soyfood intake was inversely associated with risk, with ORs of 1.0 (reference), 0.75 (95% CI, 0.60-0.93), 0.69 (95% CI, 0.55-0.87), 0.69 (95% CI, 0.55-0.86), and 0.51 (95% CI, 0.40-0.65), respectively, for the lowest to highest quintiles of total soyfood intake (trend test, P < 0.001). The inverse association was observed for each of the soyfoods examined and existed for both pre- and postmenopausal women. Adolescent soyfood intakes reported by participants' mothers were also inversely associated with breast cancer risk (P for trend < 0.001), with an OR of 0.35 (95% CI, 0.21-0.60) for women in the highest soyfood intake group. Adjustment for rice and wheat products, the major energy source in the study population, and usual adult soyfood intake did not change the soyfood associations. Our study suggests that high soy intake during adolescence may reduce the risk of breast cancer in later life.

LOL: Matt Damon Makes His First Guest Appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Posted on Friday, February 7th, 2014 by Germain Lussier
At the end of every single episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host apologizes to Matt Damon for running out of time. The gag is that every single night, Damon is in the back waiting to come on the show. That's not true of course, but the dedication to the bit is impressive. It's so impressive, in fact, Damon has never actually been a guest on the show. He's appeared, however. He's hosted, and been in taped videos, but never appeared as a guest.
Earlier this week, it finally happened. It only took George Clooney, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Cate Blanchett and Bob Balaban to do it. Damon is one of the stars of Clooney's The Monuments Men and was unceremoniously brought out as part of the ensemble. That devolved into 10 minutes of the genius cast ripping him to shreds. It's hilarious. Check it out below. Read More »
'Monuments Men' Newsreel Trailer: Support the Art Squadron
Posted on Monday, December 23rd, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Here's a cheeky sales pitch for George Clooney's new film The Monuments Men, which features Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, and John Goodman as a crew of art guys and their associates who seek to rescue priceless cultural artifacts from Hitler's war machine. The ads we've seen so far were the conventional sort. Now there's an ad in the old newsreel style (well, very vaguely in the style), which along with the website SupportTheMonumentsMen.com tells you a bit about the film and the people that inspired it.

George Clooney, Matt Damon and Bill Murray Rescue Art in 'The Monuments Men' UK Trailer
Posted on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 by Russ Fischer
The Monuments Men, the new film from George Clooney about a group of guys from the art world recruited to save art from the ravages of Hitler's army, may have been pushed into 2014 to make time for effects work, but we can still get a good look at it now.
There's a lot of new footage in this trailer, much of it showing off the stellar supporting cast (including Bill Murray, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, and Cate Blanchett for starters) and in so doing supporting the illusion that this is an Ocean's movie transported to World War II. But there's probably all first act stuff, and as this trailer goes on there's a more serious spirit that comes to the fore.
Check out the UK trailer below. Read More »
'Monuments Men' Now Has a February 2014 Release Date; 'RoboCop' Pushed
Posted on Thursday, October 24th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Briefly: We knew more or less the window in which George Clooney's new film The Monuments Men would be released after being delayed from a December opening this year. In an interview given just after the detail, Clooney said "We had a meeting with all the effects guys for our CGI stuff, and, we're just not going to get there in time. Then we looked at the date we had, December 18. I don't know how many movies are opening, but it's got to be the toughest December in recent memory for box office. We said, where's another good place to land? And we looked at February and the Shutter Island slot."
Now February 7 has been announced as the official new date for the film. That's the date on which RoboCop was going to open, and Sony has pushed that a few days, to February 12. That leaves The Lego Movie as Clooney's chief competition. And while we're at it, David O. Russell's American Hustle will now open wide on December 18 after a limited opening on December 13 this year. That puts it out a week earlier than the planned Christmas Day date.
Update: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit has officially been pushed back to January 17, 2014.
'The Monuments Men' Trailer: "How Can I Help You Steal Our Stolen Art?"
There's a hell of a lot of great stuff in this second trailer for The Monuments Men. Start with George Clooney and Matt Damon building an "Ocean's Eleven in WWII" squad to preserve and recover art stolen by the Nazis, and add guys like Bill Murray, John Goodman and Bob Balaban as members of the squad. But I think Cate Blanchett gets the win here, with her super droll question: "how can I help you steal our stolen art?"

New Posters: 'Last Vegas,' 'The Monuments Men,' and 'Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa'
Posted on Monday, August 26th, 2013 by Germain Lussier
New posters have been released for three radically different Fall movies.

Finally, there's a comedy with no Oscar aspirations at all, Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa starring Johnny Knoxville. Check out the posters below. Read More »
'The Monuments Men' Trailer: What If Oceans Eleven Met in World War II?
Posted on Thursday, August 8th, 2013 by Russ Fischer
Here's the first trailer from The Monuments Men, the new film from director George Clooney. It's based on a true story, and features Clooney and Matt Damon as two members of a team that ran through the battlefields of World War II trying to save art from destruction by various war machines. As Clooney's character says in the trailer, "if you destroy an entire generation of people's culture, it's as if they never existed."
It's a noble purpose, and since these guys weren't soldiers — they were museum directors, curators, and art historians — there's some opportunity for comedy, too. That's why the rest of the cast includes actors like John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville.
Check out the footage below.

Daniel Craig, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, and More Also Join George Clooney's 'Monuments Men'
Posted on Monday, October 29th, 2012 by Angie Han
Dreck like He's Just Not That Into You and New Year's Eve are proof that a star-studded ensemble isn't everything — sometimes, it just means the studio was willing to cut sizable checks to A-listers for not very much work. But when a more promising picture books a bevy of top-shelf talent, it can't help but add to the film's allure.
Last week, Cate Blanchett and Bill Murray were the first stars announced as being attached to The Monuments Men, and now director/star George Clooney is beefing up his cast with even more recognizable names: Daniel Craig, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Hugh Bonneville, and Bob Balaban. Eat your heart out, Argo. More details after the jump.
