The Clippers have traded guard Lance Stephenson to the Grizzlies in exchange for forward Jeff Green.
The Los Angeles Clippers received forward Jeff Green in a trade that sends guard Lance Stephenson to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Clippers announced Thursday.
Memphis also receives a first-round pick in the trade, ESPN's Marc Stein reports. The pick is a heavily protected choice in the 2019 draft, according to ESPN's Zach Lowe.
Stephenson was acquired by Los Angeles in an off-season trade with the Hornets that sent Matt Barnes and Spencer Hawes to Charlotte. He played 43 games this season, averaging 15.8 minutes per game.
Green played in all of Memphis's 53 games this season, starting 31. He is averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDY ON THE IMPACT BEHAVIOR OF STEEL–CONCRETE COMPOSITE SLAB
Autori: Sangeetha P., Ramanagopal S., Manjula R., Hema Naga Sri Pushpa Swetha T.
Sažetak: Concrete structures have been widely used for many years to resist impact loads. Steel–concrete composite structures may be considered efficient structures in the emerging modern construction field. Hence, the main objective of this research was to study the impact behavior of steel concrete composite slabs with different shear connectors and compare them with conventional slabs. Seven specimens of dimensions 500 × 500 × 50 mm were cast, which included plain cement concrete slabs, two reinforced cement concrete slabs with steel mesh and steel rebars as reinforcement, and four steel-concrete composite slabs with four different shear connectors: stud, tee, angle, and channel connectors. The composite action was achieved using a steel decking sheet welded with connectors on which the concrete layer was poured at the top. The test setup was fabricated with slots provided for specimens with simply supported end conditions and a mild steel drop weight. The specimens were impacted at the center of the span by dropping a steel mass from a free fall height of 1 m. The number of blows corresponding to the initial cracking and ultimate failure stages was recorded. The parameters that were used to compare the specimens were the impact energy absorbed, crack pattern, crack width, and increase in impact energy from the first blow to the last blow. The experimental results were very close to the analytical results obtained using ANSYS. The experimental and analytical results showed that the composite slabs with channel connectors performed better than the others, and it was proven that the composite slabs performed better under impact loading than conventional slabs.

PEDESTRIAN BRIDGES AS ELEMENTS OF THE NEW URBAN IDENTITY OF CITIES
Autori: Željka Jurković, Željko Koški, Danijela Lovoković
Sažetak: By the start of the 21st century, the majority of the world's population was living in cities. Therefore, a top priority has been solving the problem of connecting parts of the city divided by traffic infrastructure in the shortest possible manner by using pedestrian paths. The aim of this study was to analyze, systematize, and typologically define the specific types of structures that make this possible, specifically pedestrian bridges located above roads and railway corridors. The primary and secondary requirements that must be met when designing a pedestrian bridge were identified, and an analysis and comparison of examples of constructed pedestrian bridges in Croatia and the world are herein presented. The results of this study enable the conclusion that, in recent times, in the age of the spectacle society and spectacle architecture, pedestrian bridges are simultaneously deemed architecture, engineering, and infrastructure projects. They are becoming new elements in a city's image and contribute to the creation of a new urban identity. The original design of pedestrian bridges fosters the use of different construction systems and materials in accordance with technical and technological advancements in construction.

ANALYTICAL CALCULATIONS OF THE VIBRATIONS OF VERTICAL STRUCTURES CONSIDERING THEIR DEAD WEIGHT
Autori: Yurii KRUTII, Victor VANDYNSKYI, Petr Konstantinov
Sažetak: This paper presents the results of studies on the analytical dependence between the value of a longitudinal distributed load and the frequency of free vibrations in a uniform rod. Based on the exact solution of the corresponding differential equation, a method for calculating vibrations in rod structures, while considering their dead weight, is implemented. The method algorithm is shown using the example of a rod with both ends clamped. This article contains graphs and analytical formulas for displaying dependencies. A table is provided that contains all the necessary coefficients to perform similar calculations for other boundary conditions. These results allow the physical and mechanical characteristics of a system to be used to determine the natural frequency of rod structures without using approximate methods.

APPLICATION OF PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS TO DROUGHT INDICATORS OF THREE REPRESENTATIVE CROATIAN REGIONS
Autori: Lidija Tadić, Tamara Brleković, Kristina Potočki, Marija Leko-Kos
Sažetak: Drought has become a very frequent hydrological event globally, including in Croatia. It can generally be explained by air temperature and precipitation changes on an annual and seasonal basis, owing to climate change. To contribute to the knowledge on drought phenomena in Croatia, the changes in air temperature and precipitation over a relatively long period between 1951 and 2018 were analyzed. The meteorological stations included in the research were Osijek, Zagreb, and Split, which represented the climate of the entire country. Drought was estimated using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index, which is one of the most comprehensive drought indices. Furthermore, the drought severity and duration were calculated using run theory. These parameters were tested for homogeneity using the standard normal homogeneity test. Only the air temperature exhibited inhomogeneity, with a break year in 1991 (Zagreb and Split) and 1998 (Osijek). The existence of significant temporal trends was tested using the non-parametric Mann–Kendall trend test. The probability of drought occurrence with a certain duration and severity was calculated using the copula function. Finally, principal component analysis was applied to the computed standardized Mann–Kendall test statistic (ZMK) to define the relevance of each parameter change and their combination in drought occurrence on a seasonal basis. Drought occurrence was less recognizable from 1951 to 1991 (1998). In the second sub-period, the impact of an increasing air temperature was the most significant variable, particularly in Zagreb.

DURABILITY STUDY OF CONCRETE WITH ELECTRONIC WASTE PLASTIC AGGREGATE
Autori: Alena Sičáková, Erika Figmigová
Sažetak: This study aims to determine the durability of concrete, in which plastic chips originating from the casing and enclosures of small electronic items are used as a part of coarse natural aggregate. The following three amounts were used: 50%, 70%, and 90% of the aggregate by volume. The concretes were tested after 28 days of standard curing as well as after exposure to physical (25 freeze-thaw cycles and 25 wet-dry cycles) and chemical (HCl, MgSO4, and NaOH) aggressive influences. Durability was evaluated based on changes in both flexural and compressive strength after exposure. The results of the corrosion resistance tests confirm the different types of behavior of the samples, depending on the relative proportion of the plastic aggregate. In terms of a comprehensive evaluation of the experiment, the greatest potential was found in concrete with 50% plastic chips, which can be defined as lightweight-low strength concrete. However, the specific compressive strength (strength to density ratio) increased with increasing amounts of plastic aggregate, which is a good standpoint for recycling this waste if specific applications are identified that can accept the technical limits of this material while using the positive parameters that could be useful for the application.

WETTING AND DRYING RESISTANCE OF LIME-STABILIZED EXPANSIVE SOILS MODIFIED WITH NANO-ALUMINA
Autori: Jijo James, Sivapriya, S.V., Sajid Ali, Madhu, T.R., Basudev Singh
Sažetak: Weak soil at construction sites necessitates ground improvement. Chemical stabilization is typically carried out using either lime or cement. The primary objective of this study was to assess the strength and durability of lime-stabilized soils modified with nano-alumina (NA). This study adopted the scientifically established initial consumption of lime (ICL) content for soil stabilization. In addition, nano-alumina was added in varying percentages as an auxiliary additive. It was observed that 0.5% of nano-alumina was optimal with respect to the ICL for maximizing the soil stabilization. The stabilized soils were cured for 0, 7, 14, and 28 days. Post-curing testing revealed that the strength increased six fold for the optimal combination, compared with the virgin soil. To understand the durability behavior of the optimal combination, the stabilized soil specimens were subjected to wetting and drying cycles after 28 days of curing. The optimal combination was nearly as durable as that of the lime-stabilized soil subjected to five cycles of wetting and drying.

Have you ever heard of a scheme that can prove to be more lucrative than physical gold? Sounds little off beat, but is true. Gold has always charmed the investors towards itself. Gold is believed to be one of the most tested and secure investment avenues. Earlier, the surplus money was either parked in fixed deposits or gold was bought and kept as a part of fixed assets which would become a survivor in an exigency.
Now the axis has shifted from saving to investment. Clients put their money in various other schemes and give priority to investing rather than merely saving. But, still the craving for gold as a method of investment has not died out. Considering the investing sentiments of clients and their want to invest in gold financial experts have introduced a new type of mutual fund scheme known as the Gold ETF. The term ETF can be elaborated as Exchange Traded Fund. This means that a Gold ETF fund does not trade in physical gold but it exchanges the gold in the form of units on the stock exchange (NSE or BSE).
The scheme originated from Canada in the year 1961. Back then it was a close-ended fund. But, now the it has experienced a revamp as the it has transformed from a close-ended fund to an open-ended one. It invests in gold bullion and its latent assets. Gold bullion is the companies which produce gold. By investing in the Gold ETF, a client gets to own the gold equivalent to the investment amount. It is also called as paper gold because the clients do not physically own gold in the form of bars or coins.
The first Gold ETF fund of India was launched in the year 2007 by Benchmark Mutual Fund, presently known as Goldman Sachs. Since then 13 mutual fund companies have come up with Gold ETF scheme. This scheme is capable of attracting clients as there is no physical dealing in gold making it less riskier. Along with the benefit of security the customer has an additional feature which is absent in any other mutual fund plan, i.e., flexibility of purchasing. In Gold ETF fund the client is free to purchase the units according to his purchasing power. For example, initially Rakesh has finances to buy only 2 units of the Gold ETF fund then he is allowed to do so. After a few months if Rakesh is able to arrange money and buy some more units then he is free to add up the units as and when he wants. The units of gold can be easily converted into physical gold if the units of gold owned by the client is equivalent to one kilogram.
How does Gold ETF overshadow the physical gold?
Talking about physical gold the client gets it in the form of bars and coins which is purchased from a jeweller. The clients have to trust the dealer and depend upon him for the purity of the gold. But, there is greater risk of treachery in the dealings as the jewellers do not supply pure gold and we come to know about the fraud only when we resell it. In addition, to impurity the client has to pay a commission to the jeweller who is not regulated by any governing body and so it is their free will to charge whatever they want which is actually a very high amount.
Unlike physical gold, the Gold ETF fund is a hassle-free way of investing as it does not include trading in physical quantity. The unit holdings are shown on paper thus it does not involve any storage costs. The Gold ETF fund in India is regulated by SEBI (Security Exchange Board of India), and so no AMC can alter the fees that are involved in facilitating the investment. The purity of the gold is 99.5% and is tested by the valuers appointed by London Bullion Market Association on behalf of the clients. Hence, the clients have a better option to invest in gold which is through Gold ETF fund.
Gold ETF funds also provide a taxation benefit on investments which exceed the limit of one year. The investments are termed as long-term investments and the capital gains achieved by selling the units of the scheme are tax-free after the completion of one year since the date of allotment. But, when the client deals in physical gold he/she has to pay wealth tax for it.
So, to enjoy a stress-free investing experience without the tautness of storing the physical gold one can easily invest through SIP in Gold ETF mutual fund.

21 of the Best Video Ads of All Time
Video ads have skyrocketed in popularity over the past ten years, and this can largely be tied back to the 2011 John Lewis Christmas advert, The Long Wait. With the release of that 90 second video, ads became less about the product and more about the story. Now, Christmas adverts from all brands are eagerly anticipated by excited members of the public and often talked about as feverishly as Oscar-nominated films.
But it's not only Christmas ads that get people talking. Many brands, from huge enterprise businesses to startups no one has heard of, have started using video ads to create a buzz around their products, and, in some cases, to put them on the map.
The benefits of video ads for businesses are plentiful. When posting a video ad on YouTube, the advanced targeting allows you to choose your audience–meaning you only get views by people who have the potential to be interested in your product, brand, or service. The 'no skip' function on YouTube also ensures you a level of guaranteed engagement!
In a recent Wyzowl survey, we found that 74% of marketers who don't currently use video, plan on using it in 2019. So we thought some inspiration was in order! Here are 21 of the best video ads of all time (in our humble opinion!)
21 Totally amazing video ads
Rang-tan (Iceland)
Web of Fries (Taco Bell)

Discover even more amazing video ads
Entrancing animation and a voiceover by famed British actress Emma Thompson combine to quickly suck you into the story of Rang-tan. In the video ad, an adorable orangutan leaps around a little girl's bedroom. Only what starts out like a Dr. Seuss rhyme quickly turns dark when we discover the reason why the rang-tan is there: Her habitat is being destroyed by the palm oil trade.
The vortex-like emotional pull of the ad helped it rack up more than 65 million views to date across TV and social media. This video ad is also credited with lifting the Iceland brand from seventh to second place in talkability score among supermarket brands, after they promised to stop using palm oil in their products.
In this 90-second faux movie trailer, a regular guy (played by movie star Josh Duhamel) stumbles onto a dangerous conspiracy. A global conglomerate of French fry makers don't want anyone else to sell fries, including Taco Bell's mouth-watering new nacho fries. And once he starts asking questions, it quickly becomes too late. Our mild-mannered hero is soon going up against "Big Burger" – all to hilarious effect.
The ad was a spectacular hit with viewers who couldn't get enough of the ad's funny thriller clichés. They also couldn't get enough of those cheesy fries. Taco Bell's nacho fries were one of the most successful food launches in history with 53 million sold in their first five weeks.
This sleek and cerebral video ad opens on a quote about saluting those who have always "seen things differently," a take on the historic Apple motto "Think different." But we only understand what the quote actually says when the right angle comes into perspective.
The video goes on to illustrate its theme with dazzling feats of perspective. Each time the camera pans around the white loft we only understand what the quote says when we arrive at just the right angle to view it. Since it debuted in 2014, the ad continues to dazzle. To date, more than 3.5 million people have viewed this video advert on YouTube alone.
If you've ever been tempted to take your helmet off in outer space or eat an entire tube of super glue, this is one PSA you don't want to miss! In this award-winning ad produced by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Australia, we see a rather startling number of adorable animated blobs meet their doom in increasingly bizarre ways. We finally reach the moral of our story when the last three blobs are killed due to unsafe behaviour near trains.
In PSA terms, this video ad was something of a blockbuster. The video took home five grand prizes at the Cannes Lions festival. To date, the video has received over 170 million views. Most importantly, this video advertisement has been credited with reducing the number of accidents on Metro trains by 20%. (We say just try getting that tune out of your head.)

Called one of the best car adverts of all time, this video shows the extreme lengths one man will go to for a Peugeot car. Spoiler alert: It involves an elephant!
The fast-paced 40-second video commercial opens on a young Indian man seeing a sporty Peugeot 206 and falling in love at first sight. He then jumps into his old beat-up car and smashes it against a wall. Bemused onlookers watch him smash his car in a rather dazzling variety of ways (including having an elephant sit on it). When he's finally finished, he has ingeniously "sculpted" his old clunker into a Peugeot-shaped car.
This sweeping sports epic takes us around the world with some of the greatest footballers of all time, including Cristiano Ronaldo. Produced for the 2010 World Cup, "Write the Future" spans more than 3 minutes (on the long-ish side for video ads).
In each sequence of this video commercial, we see a moment that determines how each player will write themselves into history. The final culmination is the unveiling of a colossal statue of Ronaldo that would seemingly give the Statue of Liberty a run for the money. History was made in the video department too. In one week, more than 7.8 million people watched this video – breaking all previous records for most views of a video ad gone viral.
In this comedic video ad, we meet an accomplished little stick figure named John who can play the piano, writes books in multiple languages – all because of what he's learned on Skillfinity.io!
We go on to discover John has picked up a rather dazzling list of skills using the service. Yet the quirky voiceover wisely undercuts the stick figure smarty pants in a fun way that keeps the ad from taking itself too seriously – or even worse from becoming boring. Who wouldn't want to learn from Skillfinity in such a fun way?
When special effects pro Eugene Romanovsky put his 1996 Suzuki Vitara up for sale, he made what some have modestly called "The Greatest Used Car Advertisement In History." In the video, his used Suzuki Vitara speeds around dinosaurs from Jurassic Park and zooms around with Mad Max amidst dunes. But this car will not be stopped. The Suzuki then plunges into the ocean to swim with sharks – it even goes to the moon!
While we're not sure if this beloved 1996 Suzuki is still on the road. This tribute video lives forever. More than 6 million people have watched this video advert.
While the title may sound more like a true crime episode, the star of this dramatic 2-minute ad is the cutting-edge immunotherapy treatments being developed at New York-Presbyterian Hospital to beat cancer.
The bold black and red animation in this video tells the story of the body's T-cells, which protect us from cancer – until they don't. Immunotherapy works by turning these T-cells back on and helping the body to fight cancer. First aired during Super Bowl 50, the ad went on to win two Clio Health Awards.
This classic '80s video ad opens on a roaring fire in the fireplace while "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" plays sweetly in the background. Soon a dog saunters into the fireplace scene. He's quickly joined by a cat, who inexplicably gives him a sweet kiss on the cheek – instead of taking a swipe at him! Even more bizarre, a tiny white mouse joins them. The mouse gets a peck on the cheek from the cat too, instead of being gobbled up in one bite! Just goes to show, a real fire is so romantic even cats and dogs (and mice) can get along with one blazing in the background.
Set to a kicky rap beat, this video shows just how much fun it can be to use a Google spreadsheet. The demo quickly moves us through all the cool things we can do with the Google program. The video was part of a series of ads created for Google's G Suite featuring their products being used to the beat of entertaining music. Another video in the series showed someone creating a presentation to the A-Team theme song, and having a blast doing it. Who knew work could be so much fun?
Why would someone suffer through the "Worst Song in the World"? The heroine of this video advertisement is walking down the street when a truly awful song comes on. If we're to believe the lyrics of the song, it is the "Worst Song in the World."
Unfortunately, the song only seems to get worse as it goes. Our poor heroine only gets more and more frustrated, yet she keeps listening. We don't learn why she suffered through the miserable music until the big payoff at the end. The on-screen copy reads, "Having your hands free changes everything… get your groceries delivered."
This hilarious video racked up 16 million views in 2 weeks and more than 25,000 people listened to the music video for the "Worst Song in the World" song featured in the ad.
What starts as a 911 call quickly turns into a possible crank call – then is revealed to be a real 911 call from an abused woman terrified her husband is overhearing her conversation.
If the operator didn't listen to the caller, he may have hung up on her. She might not have gotten the help she needed from police. The point of this video advert is you have to listen. Really listen. It's hard to imagine a more effective way to learn such an important lesson than by watching this video.
This exceptional ad aired during the Super Bowl on February 1, 2015. The Washington Post called the PSA "the most powerful ad of the game." Since 2015, it's garnered more than 10 million views.
Gulp is a short film that billed itself as "the world's largest stop-motion animation shot on a Nokia N8" when it premiered. Using a record-breaking 11,000 sq. ft. set, this video commercial was shot in South Wales with a Nokia N8 camera.
The story begins with a fisherman on his boat hitting the high seas, as fishermen do. After catching "the big one." He gets eaten by an even bigger one! Luckily, he escapes with the help of a bomb… oh just watch it yourself to see! This is a truly delightful little video ad that shows the huge possibilities when filming with a Nokia camera.
Nokia scored more than 1.5 million views for its brand since the ad debuted in 2011.
Directed by Hollywood hotshot Spike Jonze of Being John Malkovich fame, this much-praised ad took home a Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival Film Grand Prix. It all begins ominously on a dark and stormy evening. We see a woman pick up an old lamp from a table. She takes the lamp out to the curb. Somber music tells us this is going to be emotional and thought-provoking – not!
After we see the new lamp replace the old lamp sitting in the rain, the tone completely changes. A man comes into screen with a sharp rebuke for the viewer. He tells the audience that it's crazy to feel bad for the old lamp. The new one is much better!
But the story told in this video advertisement doesn't end there. A sequel to the first commercial called "Lamp Recycled" premiered in 2018. The second video gives us a new view on whether new is always better (while keeping the same old cranky guy).
This Emmy-award winning video ad titled "Betrayed By Your Friend" shows both the heartwarming relationship between a boy and his dog – and the terrifying way the dog can instantly turn on the boy and attack him. Just like sepsis, an all-too common disease in which the immune system turns on itself and attacks the body. Sometimes with deadly consequences.
This animated video ad is a beautifully drawn example of the advertising maxim "Show don't tell." What might have been difficult to explain in medical terms is easily understood in this video, as are ways to help to prevent it like washing your hands.
Much of the appeal of Pandora jewelry is the way you can create something completely unique with their charms. This video advertisement celebrates the uniqueness of all women with an emotionally charged experiment. In the video, six women are put in a lineup. Then their blindfolded children have to identify them.
To watch the looks on the mom's faces, you immediately see who belongs to whom. When the child finally identifies their mother solely based on touch (while still blindfolded), the moment shows the amazing connection between a mother and her child. Viewers have been dazzled ever since the video debuted in 2015. To date, it has garnered more than 19.5 million views!
This video could go into detail about how the app works, what button to press… but how boring would that be compared to watching money fly all over the world instantly?
The great thing about this video is the way it's focused on benefits and doesn't get bogged down in features. From the moment the button on the Western Union app is pushed, money springs into action! We see a fast-moving coin blaze through a yellow-sky landscape down to the depths of a yellow ocean.
By the end of this video commercial, we're excited to start using an amazing, new way to send money. We certainly know it's Western Union by the yellow graphics.
This video for Art.com, a maker of art prints, shows an attractive young couple and their adorable daughter moving into a new home. They've got their new furniture arranged perfectly, but something's still missing… the walls need art! Soon, the walls come alive with animated graphics and prints showing the transformation art can make in a home.
We also love this video for the clever way it brings the online search process into real life with an illustration of the search bar. For viewers, it reinforces the idea that you can search for (and find) exactly what you need to liven up your walls on Art.com.
Sometimes a video is just way too cool to look away. The playful graphics of this Airbnb video are so cool you almost can't stop watching it. You certainly want to see what happens next!
Playing with colours and forms, the video created an experience that was so much fun it actually makes you want to try one of Airbnb's many cycling experiences in real life. Shorter versions of this video double as a series of gifs Airbnb used to illustrate a press release. A great example of how you can re-use a video in unexpected ways to bring your brand to life.
In the one-minute Gravity video, we begin with a refresher on gravity à la Sir Isaac Newton (i.e., guy gets hit on the head with an apple). The kicky little science mini-course then expands to include all the many ways Caspar is a great mattress – beyond its formidable ability to help you deal with gravity. The super-creative mix of animation and live action keeps you guessing as to what will happen next, and we'd say more engaged.

Evaluation of pulsed-field magnetization of a bulk superconductor with small holes
K. Yokoyama, Tetsuo Oka, N. Kondo, S. Hosaka
Recent upsizing of the diameter and enhancement of performance of bulk superconductors make pulsed field magnetization difficult due to the strong magnetic shield. We propose a bulk material with small holes to supply magnetic flux into the bulk efficiently because superconductivity is intentionally lowered in the portion with holes. On the other hand, we are anxious about the flux flow in a high applied field. To investigate the effect of the proposed method, a bulk material with small holes was manufactured, and a fundamental experiment was carried out. Four holes of 2 mm in diameter were drilled in a growth sector region of a GdBa2Cu3O7-x bulk material of 60 mm in diameter and 20 mm thickness. The holes were filled with solder to improve mechanical strength and heat conduction. The bulk was cooled to 20, 30, 40, and 50 K, and a single pulsed field was applied while changing the amplitude of the applied field at each temperature. It was confirmed that the magnetic flux penetrates at a low applied field as compared with the holeless bulk material, and, moreover, the flux flow was suppressed in a high applied field at a low temperature.

Two childhood best friends who were 'joined at the hip' as kids were reunited over a half-century later—when they least expected it.
Irene Gresty and Janet Henderson were neighbors in the 1940s, growing up in Linlithgow, West Lothian, England, but, like so many friendships, they lost touch over the years.
Irene got married and moved away with her husband who was in the Navy and got shipped around to places like Singapore.
She wanted to retire closer to her family, so she moved back—and had been living for three years very close to Janet without knowing it.
Now 80-years-old, the pair ran into each other at an event organized at the Bield senior home, and Irene said her heart skipped a beat when she saw her long-lost pal.
"We knew immediately who each other were.
"We sat down beside each other and she turned to me and said, 'Is that you Irene?' and I just laughed and said, 'Yes Janet'!
"She said her mind was made up that it was me—and I'm very glad she said something as the last time we seen each other was a long time ago.
"I can't believe my luck that it happened, I was delighted to have seen her again."
The two women vowed to never let it go that long again without seeing each other and spent all afternoon catching up.
"We have many fond memories of sticking up for each other and playing in the park."
"I hadn't thought anything of it when someone told me Irene Gresty had moved back to the area as I didn't recognize her married name," Janet recalled. "So when I saw her at the event it was pretty surreal.
"We exchanged numbers so I'm really looking forward to meeting up in the future, we have many years to catch up on."
Tracey Howatt, Director of Customer Experience at Bield, said: "We often have friends reuniting after not seeing each other for a long period of time, but I don't think we have ever had anything like this before.
"It's lovely for the two ladies to reunite and it just shows, you never know when you'll bump into an old friend again."

The Sky Blues are undefeated in their past eight derbies and Arnold said that trend is set to continue as he heralded the Sky Blues overall defensive displays in their most recent Hyundai A-League clashes.
"You'd have to ask the Wanderers about the mental barrier that they can't beat us," Arnold said.
"At the end of the day it's been three years and we're making sure it continues on Saturday.
"The derby is fantastic for the fans, it gives the fans bragging rights and we play for our fans. For me it's about getting the game plan right, the players executing it and our performance being better than it was the weeks before and we expect that'll happen on Saturday night.
"We're very confident in our ability, and confident in what we're doing and we expect to win.
"Our defence starts from the front, we've got a brick wall, we've conceded seven goals in 14 games," he continued.
Arnold said the Sky Blues were in good health ahead of Saturday's clash as he confirmed he was considering a number of options at centre back in the absence of the injured Sebastian Ryall and the departed Matthew Jurman.
"I've still got 48 hours to think about who'll play centre back," Arnold said.
"We've got some fantastic young kids in Patrick Flottmann and George Timotheou who are international players and they've been waiting for their chance for a long time.
"They've worked extremely hard at training, they were a part of the youth team that won six trophies last year, so they're possibilities. We've got plenty of options and I'm happy with the options.
"For the players that we have we'll be at full strength," he continued.
"Alex Brosque our captain is back, he's such a wonderful leader and player. He brings another 10 or 15 percent out in all of our players.
"We're down one player suspended, they're down two players suspended, they've got a couple of injuries, we've got one injury so we're in good shape.
Sydney FC take on Western Sydney Wanderers in their one home #SydneyDerby for the Hyundai A-League 2016/17 season on Saturday night at Allianz Stadium (kick off 7:50pm). Catch the match live on Fox Sports or follow @SydneyFC on Twitter for updates.


In my brief time off before returning to work I'm staying very busy! Firstly Portugal with family and I just have one photo to share of the view over to Salema in Portugal where I was staying. Dramatic coastline due to the high winds in this South West corner facing the Atlantic!
Following Portugal I hopped on a 21 euro bus to beautiful Seville where I had never been but is full of history and interesting places.
So first up, Plaza De Espana, put together for an expo in 1929 this old palace has a seat representing each of the provinces of Spain and incredible mosaic decoration.
The centre of Seville is a collection of buildings grouped together as UNESCO sites, one palace, one cathedral and one building containing important documents including those related to Christopher Columbus.
The palace, the Real Alcazar, is a collection of buildings from different periods plus endless manicured gardens with aromatic hedges that made me wonder why all hedges aren't aromatic... life could be so fragrant!!
I am lucky enough to have been to the Alhambra, not so far away in Granada, and I found this particular part of the Real Alcazar, to be exactly the same! However the gardens were different and stunning.
Immediately opposite the palace is the cathedral. The largest in Europe.
Moving onto something much more modern, the Metropol Parasol was as impressive to me as the historical sites, dominating the new part of town it gives impressive views in an amazing piece of engineering.
Then from Seville I took a day trip out to Gibraltar, a place I had always wanted to go having sailed past on transatlantic crossings three times! The tour I was on featured 3 stops. Firstly Europa Point, the southern tip marking the divide between the Atlantic Ocean and the Med with views over to Morocco only 20km away!
Secondly St Michael's Cave, one of the largest so high above sea level, certainly a tourist trap and used for events.
And finally one of the spots where the famous monkey's are fed, which happened to have a great view!
Here's a view of 'the Rock' showing how pedestrians walk straight over the airport runway on their way to pass back into Spain!
It was great to getaway and see somewhere new, Seville comes highly recommended from me (go to the Aire spa!!). As always there's more photos on my Flickr page.


The full sequence of presentations and classroom facilitation for the program. When preparing to present, access and "download" Assembly Videos #1, 3, 5, & 8 directly from Vimeo where they are stored at full presentation resolution.
Start Video #1 directly upon having all students seated/ prior to and better than any long introductions or additional announcements. If anything, just ask that the principal introduce you by name and ask that the students give their full attention to an important message.
The Video demos are for presenter and classroom facilitator use. They are NOT appropriate for students to view alone or in small groups. The Group Dynamic Effect of the on-stage simulation is diluted if experienced in groups of less than 100 students. The best size assembly audience tends to be about 300 students at a presentation.


I bound competent cells (H. influenzae and B. subtilis, separately) onto cover slips in chambers, and then washed in medium containing genetically marked DNA. After 15 minutes at 37 °C I washed in some medium with DNase I and then medium containing 0.5% low-melt agarose, with and without either nalidixic acid (to select the H. influenzae nalR allele) or tryptophan (to select the B. subtilis trp+ allele). Then I sealed the chambers' ends with wax from a candle (clumsily) and incubated them overnight.
The results were a bit messy. The H. influenzae cells started out quite dense (1000-5000 per 40X field of view) and without nalidixic acid they grew into nice microcolonies. With nalidixic acid they instead formed filaments (i.e. grew without dividing, and then stopped growing). At the edges of the chamber some large and well-defined microcolonies were present, but these were absent from the central part of the chamber. So transformation is clearly happening, but I can't estimate a frequency. The distribution of the NalR microcolonies suggests that oxygen might affect resistance, but I don't know enough about how the drug acts (a gyrase inhibitor) to guess why that would be the case.
The B. subtilis results were worse. The chambers with and without tryptophan had similar numbers of cells. Both had substantially more cells than had originally been attached, so there must have been some growth. But there were no obvious microcolonies. I might have made an error with the medium. But many of the cells were moving around, so I suspect that I also need to use a higher concentration of low-melt agarose to block their strong motility.
On a separate topic, a reader suggested using polyethylene glycol (PEG) to block the poly-L-lysine coating and prevent beads from sticking to it once the cells had been bound. After checking that PEG isn't toxic to cells, I tried washing my chambers with a 1% solution of the PEG type we had on the shelf (PEG 3350, which I think is a moderate chain length for PEG), washing it out, and then washing in some beads and washing them out after 10 minutes. Result - no significant difference between PEG and no PEG in the numbers of beads bound to the coverslip. I could try a higher concentration of PEG, but maybe the problem is washing out the PEG before adding the beads. I'll try adding PEG to the beads as well as to the washing solution. If this does prevent beads sticking, I'll next need to test whether PEG inhibits transformation.
While I was at it I also tested whether the 16% glycerol that's mixed with the frozen competent cells inhibits cell binding to the coverslips. I had been conscientiously pelleting the thawed cells and resuspending them in glycerol-free medium before adding them to the chambers, but now I know that cells bind just fine in the presence of glycerol. The glycerol is subsequently washed out of the chamber along with the non-attached cells, so I won't bother with the centrifuging step any more.
What did the "no DNA" cells look like in chambers with the antibiotic?
I don't think I did this control... I'll go back and do the experiment again, but I'd like to sort out the other problems first.

And now we have the news story this week of the kids found crying in a hot Houston car, who were rescued by passersby who smashed the windows and got them out. The media rushed to report that the woman had been getting her hair done while the kids roasted… people on social media rushed to judgment that the mom should be thrown in jail and her kids taken away. Some people probably said worse. One news media outlet after another repeated the story, including majors such as The Washington Post. And yet all along, the woman had actually locked her keys in the vehicle and was in a nearby store trying to get help. The news media updated the story, of course, but not after who knows how many people were ready to figuratively burn this woman at the stake.
Thanks for posting this. It's been a concern of mine for a while — journalists seem to think it's okay to, as is quoted in your piece, publish asap and then correct as necessary. While I get the pressures on them to be the first with a story, that is beyond irresponsible. And they always hide behind the words "according to" or "allegedly" or "reportedly" or "some people say…." Those are good for legal reasons, but when they become an excuse for sloppy journalism, that's not good.
The epitome of all this is the recent story of the little girl with the disfigured face in the KFC; her grandmother had reported that the store kicked them out because the girl's face was disturbing other customers. Nearly every major media outlet, and countless smaller ones, ran with the story. It generated a massive backlash against KFC on social media. Protests were inevitable. But then… a few days later, a small newspaper started reporting that the facts didn't line up. It appears at this point that the family made up the story (though they're sticking to it), presumably to extort money from KFC.
While that attempt at extortion is abhorrent, equally inexcusable and self-serving (though on a different level) was the media's rush to report without fact-checking. If a small newspaper could've found these facts, certainly CNN could've. Better yet, the media should've held off the story until they had the facts. Then, as if that's not enough, the media I saw reporting the revised story didn't even own up to their part in it! For example, WTOP in the DC area had reported the initial story, but in their follow-up, they described it as having "gone viral" — nothing about how they themselves, and other major media, played a part in it going viral. When people saw the story shared on Facebook, Twitter, etc., while some certainly passed it on without a second thought, I'm sure there were many others who first attempted some due diligence by checking major media — and thought they were confirming its veracity. News media can't absolve themselves by putting themselves on the same level as social media, which simply claiming the story "went viral" effectively does.
It's time the media be held more accountable for their actions, especially now that revenues are driving their journalistic decisions more than ever. The problem, the double-edged sword, is that they have the protection of the First Amendment, so there's no entity to police the media, apart from their policing themselves. And while there are media watchdog groups, they do little good when the media has a megaphone and the watchdog groups have a kazoo.

Q: explicit "exotic" charts can someone provide explicit charts for non-standard differentiable structures on, for instance $\mathbb{R}^4$ (or some other manifold)?

A: Here is a Kirby Diagram for an exotic $\mathbb R^4,$ taken from Gompf and Stipsicz's book, "4-Manifolds and Kirby Calculus." It's not given in the form of an atlas, but it is a nice explicit description.

A: Not really helpful I guess, but I am interested as well in this subject so: A while ago I heard Matthew Baker (from Georgia Tech, on an entirely different subject, namely the Berkovich Projective Line of non-archimedean fields) describing a technique knows as the observers' topology (i.e. take a point in the space, look around and describe what you see). It would be interesting to know if one could see a difference with another differentiable structure on $\mathbb{R}^4$. It doesn't give you an explicit atlas though.
This ties in with Exotic Manifolds from the inside as well. I am afraid that this doesn't give you a straight answer as well, but a hint of where to look further.
By the way, did you know that only a small portion of the exotic $\mathbb{R}^4$'s can be represented by Kirby diagrams directly (by varying things in the diagram, you get a countably many non-diffeomorphic copies I guess [though I haven't seen a proof of this]). At hinsight, Bob Gompf has proved that there are uncountably many of exotic $\mathbb{R}^4$'s, so this doesn't help much.

Karla Krueger, the President of a local design and marketing firm, Krueger Graphics, Inc., was recently honored with three Business Networking International (BNI) Awards.
Krueger was awarded the BNI Bronze pin. The pin represents a chapter having attained growth through the years while maintaining a certain number of members. Krueger was instrumental in the develop-ment process for the Rock River chapter to receive the award. Krueger served as President, Vice President, Secretary, Membership, and Visitor Host over since 1998. When Krueger took office as President the member-ship were 11, but during her time in office and serving on the board in other capacities the number of members more than doubled.
In addition to the bronze Krueger received a Notable Networker Award in recognition of her outstanding per-formance. She was also awarded the Build Foundations Award for her dynamic commitment to the Rock River Chapter of BNI. Krueger feels a deep sense of pride in being an active member of BNI. She is a strong support-er for the BNI philosophy that "givers gain."

On February 3, 1865, 150 years ago today, Abraham Lincoln met with three Confederate peace commissioners, including Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens, to discuss potential peace terms to bring the Civil War to an end. The conference took place aboard the steamer River Queen in Hampton Roads, after the commissioners had been escorted through the enemy lines at the Siege of Petersburg. The conference ended in failure because the two sides had irreconcilable differences which could only be solved by military victory. Grant, hoping to take advantage of temporary good weather and demoralization on the Confederate side once the result was known, would very shortly launch his Eighth Offensive against Richmond and Petersburg, resulting in the February 5-7, 1865 Battle of Hatcher's Run.
I had initially hoped to pen a much lengthier original article on this topic for the 150th anniversary, but a new job and extensive study of the Hatcher's Run operations left me with no more time. In lieu of my own detailed post, I instead point interested readers to an excellent online article from the Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association, penned by William C. Harris.

IT Security: Playing To Win
Security company Fortify Software today released a Flash-based game called IT Defender that attempts to educate players about workplace security risks while they risk their jobs by playing a game at work.
Thomas Claburn
Editor at Large, Enterprise Mobility
Sure, it's a PR ploy. But it's a good one. (Really, anything is better than another press release.) As a game, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's nicely done for what it is.The premise is simple: You have to run around a Pacman-inspired office maze to stop colleagues from creating security breaches. To complicate matters, your boss is chasing you around, trying to drag you into a meeting, and you need periodic coffee breaks to sustain your speed.
In other words, it's frighteningly realistic.

House Subcommittee Considers Consolidating the Rural Housing Service
By RealEstateRama -
WASHINGTON, D.C. – May 22, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — Earlier this week, the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance held a hearing examining the Rural Housing Service (RHS) and the role it plays in the single-family mortgage market. During the hearing, Subcommittee members debated the findings of a 2012 Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that suggested that RHS's single-family lending programs be consolidated with similar programs administered by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). The witnesses at the hearing were Tony Hernandez, the Administrator of RHS, and Mathew Scire, the Director for Financial Markets and Community Investment at GAO.
During his opening statement, Subcommittee Chairman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) highlighted the importance of programs serving rural America's affordable housing needs. Luetkemeyer said that, as a representative from district with a large rural area, he sees the impact programs like RHS make on rural communities first-hand. Luetkemeyer indicated that he appreciated GAO's report calling for consideration of consolidating USDA and FHA programs and said he would like to see RHS "streamlined."
Subcommittee Ranking Member Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) echoed Rep. Luetkemeyer's sentiment for streamlining RHS in his opening statement. Cleaver also voiced concern about the funding levels for RHS. He stated that there is a way to improve RHS without cutting its budget and argued that he would like to see the budget increased for programs serving rural America's housing needs.
Hernandez defended the RHS' single-family programs in his opening statement, arguing that there is not significant overlap between USDA and FHA programs. Many of the customers who receive mortgages through RHS, Hernandez claimed, do not qualify for similar FHA products. Hernandez highlighted the changes RHS has made to streamline its single-family lending program, including the automation process RHS has recently completed, which he said will save the agency roughly $5 million in administration costs per year.
Hernandez also said RHS is pursuing legislative proposals that he feels will improve the program. Hernandez said he wants RHS to delegate loan approvals to its lenders, emulating the way FHA currently handles loan approvals. He also advocated for congressional approval to charge a $50 user fee to cover the costs of maintaining and improving RHS' underwriting technology. Throughout the hearing, Hernandez mentioned that RHS does not cost taxpayers any money and has never required a taxpayer-funded bailout.
Scire refuted many of Hernandez's claims in his opening testimony. Specifically, Scire said the GAO found that 74 percent of FHA borrowers meet RHS product requirements, though he did acknowledge that there would be some borrowers who would be unable to receive federal mortgage assistance if RHS were rolled into FHA. Hernandez and Scire went back and forth throughout the hearing about what borrowers RHS serves multiple times.
Committee Ranking Member Maxine Waters (D-CA) pressed both Hernandez and Scire for a direct answer on how consolidation would benefit RHS and FHA. Hernandez responded that he does not see the benefit for RHS to consolidate with FHA, which pleased Waters. Scire said he feels Congress should seriously consider GAO's recommendation to consolidate RHS and FHA. Waters pressed Scire for facts to back up his consolidation recommendation, which Scire was unable to produce during the hearing.
Luetkemeyer ended the hearing with a set of pointed questions for Hernandez regarding RHS staffing levels. Luetkemeyer said FHA endorsed $786.2 billion in single-family loans in fiscal year 2014, while RHS endorsed $19 billion in single-family loans the same year. Luetkemeyer stated that the total number of RHS staff is roughly double the number of FHA staff. He expressed his strong desire for RHS to be "innovative" and cut their staffing levels to the same as FHA.

Whether you are adding a Contact Us page to a new store, providing return/cancellation policies to your customers, or perhaps offering tips and tricks about your products, using custom pages is the easiest and most efficient way to get the job done. It can now be even easier with this illustrated, step-by-step guide to help walk you through the process of adding them yourself! Follow along, and before you know it, you will have a shiny new page on your site created, filled with the content you need.
To get things going, begin by opening Miva Admin in two (yes two!) different internet browser tabs/windows and log in. This is important because you will be copying/comparing the setting of the new page to an existing one.
To make this process easier and faster (something we could all use more of), you will open an existing page to copy from. To do this, from the HOME page, click on USER INTERFACE in one of your Miva tabs.
You will be using the existing "About Us" page as your reference/template (with the code ABUS). Click on the OPEN button to pull up the "About Us" page.
In your second Miva tab, navigate again to the USER INTERFACE page, but this time, click the + icon to add a new page. Now the fun begins!
Now that your new page is created, you can begin adding in the information you need to customize it. First, enter the page name and code that you'd like to use. For example, if you'd like to create a page to show all your glowing customer reviews, you can use the code ALLREV and name the page "All Reviews".
Once your page name and code is filled in, click back to your other Miva tab to view the "About Us" page. You will copy all the text in the "Template" section to paste into your new page. You can either highlight the text by clicking and dragging with your mouse, or you can click in the "Template" text box and select all by holding down ctrl (or cmd on a Mac) and pressing "A". The combination of ctrl+A will select all. From there, you can either right-click your mouse to copy the text, or you can hold ctrl (cmd on a Mac) and press "C" to copy.
This is where the new page content will go, which you will create in the next step. Click the grey "+ Add" button in the upper right corner to save your work before moving on.
Once you're in the ReadyTheme section, click on the tab at the top called "Content Sections" then the + icon to create new content.
As in STEP 4, you need to enter your code and name. It's generally recommended to coordinate the content you're creating here to the page it will show up on later. Again using the example of a new "All Reviews" page, you might use the content code "ALLREV_content" and name it "All Reviews Content".
Before you can click ADD, you will need to fill in the "Content" text box. If you have your new content (i.e. Reviews, instructions, directions, contact information, etc.), you can enter it now. If you don't have it ready yet, you can enter something like "testing" for now and edit it once you have the information you need. Click ADD to save the new content.
Now that you've got your new content, you need to go back to the new page you created to edit that line of code mentioned in STEP 4. To do that, return to the Miva HOME page and click on the USER INTERFACE. Select your newly created page from the list and click on the "open" button to enter the page. Once you find the line of code, you will be replacing the section that says ( 'abus_content' ) to reflect the CODE you used when you created your new content. Click the blue UPDATE button in the upper right corner to save the change.
Now that your code is edited, you need to add some "items" to your new page. This is another step where the second Miva tab will come into play, to reference the setting on the "About Us" page. You will need to click on the ITEMS tab on both Miva tabs (your new page, as well as the "About Us" reference tab).
To view the items that have been turned on, or "assigned" to the "About Us" page, click on the eye icon in the upper right hand of the window and select "show assigned". This will change the view of the items to only show the items that have been assigned to the "About Us". These are the same items that will need to be turned on in your new page!
Return to your new page screen, and simply start turning on all the same items as shown in the "About Us" page. You can do this by scrolling through the list and turning them on as you come across them, but there's an easier way. Use the search bar to find the items you need, then click on the toggle switch next to the item to assign it.
And that's it! Remember, if you entered "testing" during the content portion, you will need to go back and edit that once you've got the text needed to complete the page.
In a matter of a few clicks and copying some pre-existing site settings, you've got a brand new page loaded with your custom content ready to go!

New Delhi/Mumbai: India will not share the limited supply of Iranian crude allowed under a US waiver from sanctions with private refiners, according to people with knowledge of the matter. That is a departure from the earlier practice of splitting exempted volumes.
The government has asked its four state refiners led by Indian Oil Corp. to share the entire 9 millions barrels of Iranian oil available every month under a 180-day waiver from US sanctions, the people said, asking not to be identified. Private refiner Essar Oil, now rechristened Nayara Energy after it was acquired by Rosneft PJSC and partners, was allowed to buy about half of the Iran volumes when a similar curbs were imposed in 2012.
Indian refiners — state-run or private — scramble for Iranian crude because it is less expensive and offers a longer credit cycle, apart from savings in freight cost. Iranian shipments to India jumped 2.5 times in about a year after the economic curbs on the Persian Gulf nation were lifted under a 2015 accord.
Reserving Iranian crude for state-run refiners will deprive the private processors of these benefits, forcing them to look for costlier alternatives. An Indian oil ministry spokesman couldn't immediately comment.
Private refiners such as billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries Ltd. have greater agility to source and process cheaper crude than the state-run refiners and should not be allowed to eat into the Iranian barrels, especially when there isn't scarcity of supply in the global oil market, said an oil ministry official.
Reliance and Nayara Energy together imported close to a third of India's total oil imports from Iran last year, according to shipping data compiled by Bloomberg. That's despite both halting Iranian purchases months before U.S. restrictions against oil dealings with Iran went back into effect in early November.
India plans to continue with this strategy to protect Iran oil supplies only for its state-run refiners if waivers are extended beyond April, as it continues talking to the Trump administration for the rollover, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Maharjan eyes world record in Everest summit
Published On: May 5, 2019 08:24 AM NPT By: Republica | @RepublicaNepal
KATHMANDU, May 5: Kalpana Maharjan, 35, is said to have reached Camp 2 (7,775 meters above sea level) on the northern side of Mount Everest on Saturday. If Maharjan succeeds to reach the peak of the world's highest mountain, it will be her second success in climbing the mountain in her third attempt.
This attempt, unlike her previous two attempts, is also an attempt for setting a world record for being the first female journalist of Nepal to climb Mount Everest from both the northern route and the southeastern ridge. Maharjan had climbed Mount Everest from the southeast ridge in Nepal in April 2018.
"I first got the opportunity to learn about Everest expedition in a program while working as a journalist," she told Republica, "I failed in my first attempt in 2014, when I managed to reach only upto 6400 meters above the sea level."
She added that this time around she is also campaigning against child marriage and has carried two flags with her to set on the peak of Everest. One of them belongs to the Lalitpur Metropolitan City (LMC) which is hoisting a flag in respect of historian Satya Mohan Joshi, who is turning 100 this year.
The metropolis has recognized Joshi as the Century Personality of the metropolis and is contributing Rs 3 million for Maharjan's expedition. The other flag belongs to Budhanilkantha School, which is an alma mater of Kalpana's expedition organizer Rabindra Maharjan.
Rabindra, who is also the Managing Director of Experience Outdoors Nepal, said that the expense of this expedition is far more than the expense from the southeast ridge in Nepal.
He claimed that the expedition from the south costs as much as Rs 3.5 million while the one from the northern side in China costs as much as Rs five million.
"In comparison to the southeastern ridge, the northern side is considered to be the easier route to the peak of Everest," Rabindra said, "The snow in the south side shift about five feet every day while there is no shift in the snow in the northern side."
However, the northern side does have the disadvantage of strong winds that have velocity as high as 100 kilometers per hour.
