CDC on UK's COVID-19 variant: Most dominant strain in US
By Fraser Dixon In Latest News with Comments Off on CDC on UK's COVID-19 variant: Most dominant strain in US
What's up, America?
The UK variant of COVID-19 is now the most dominant strain of the virus in the US, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The B.1.1.7 strain, which was believed to have originated in the UK, was found to be more contagious and fatal compared to the original variant that came from Wuhan, China.
Health experts have described Brazil's COVID-19 crisis as "biological Fukushima" as daily fatalities have climbed to over 4,000. One former official said that the pandemic is "the largest human tragedy in Brazilian history." May God heal Brazil.
Scientists have floated the idea of the existence of a new force of nature. A fifth fundamental force in the world would be awesome as the law of physics will be shaken.
Reality TV show 'Space Hero' plans to give the winner a trip to space. The grand prize would be a trip to the International Space Station. Is there any prize that can be cooler than that?
Commonly known as the "male Mona Lisa," a painting showing Jesus Christ, believed to be painted by the 'Leonardo Da Vinci,' was sold for a staggering amount of $450 million. French authorities, though, were debating about the authenticity of the masterpiece, as some argued that it was not entirely made by Da Vinci himself. Nonetheless, its worth is still a masterpiece.
Tom Hank's 1988 comedy movie 'Big' was almost given to Robert de Niro. Hank's co-star Elizabeth Perkins revealed that De Niro should have been the protagonist if only his schedule had permitted him to be the leading character. Interesting trivia!
Take care always,

"Would you like me to pray for you?" my brother asked me as he sat down next to me. He could see that I hadn't been feeling well throughout our morning activities on our family vacation, and he wasn't shy about offering to help in this way.
His sweet offer swept over me like a blanket of love. This was not a question my brother was prone to asking folks, and it was certainly the first time he had ever offered to pray for me. We did attend Christian Science Sunday School together as children, but that had been many years ago, and prayer and healing were just not something we talked about together.

NASA Will Allow Businesses to Use the ISS
NFK Editors - June 21, 2019
International Space Station —
NASA has announced that it will let businesses pay to use the International Space Station (ISS). The move will allow companies to do the kind of space research that used to be limited to the government.
The ISS is a science laboratory in space. It's made of many different pieces that have been added on slowly since 1998. The project is supported by groups in many different countries, including NASA in the US and Roscosmos in Russia. The group of astronauts working there changes often, but people have been living on the ISS for about 18 years.

The station rotates around the Earth, over 200 miles (320 km) above it. The ISS allows scientists to do research in a place with very low gravity. It also lets them test things that might be used on other trips into space.
But the ISS costs NASA a lot of money – about $3 or $4 billion every year. And the ISS is just one of NASA's many projects. NASA is now working on other big plans, too, including a project to land people on the moon by 2024.
The ISS allows scientists to do research in a place with very low gravity. It also lets them test things that might be used on other trips into space. The ISS costs NASA about $3 or $4 billion every year. Astronaut Karen Nyberg is shown running an experiment on the ISS.
US President Donald Trump wants the government to pay less for the ISS and businesses to pay more. Last year, Mr. Trump's government suggested that it wouldn't support the ISS after 2025. The government later changed its mind, but NASA's move is clearly an attempt to bring business money to the ISS.
Businesses can now use the ISS to run their own experiments. They can have NASA's astronauts work on experiments for them. That's a big change for the station and for NASA. In the past, NASA astronauts couldn't work on experiments that could be used to make money. Now, they can even advertise things.
Businesses can also send their own private astronauts to the ISS.
Businesses can have NASA's astronauts work on experiments for them. That's a big change for the station and for NASA. In the past, NASA astronauts couldn't work on experiments that could be used to make money. The picture shows three NASA astronauts on the ISS in 2009.
But NASA is keeping tight controls on everything. NASA's astronauts can only work on experiments for businesses for 90 hours a year. Businesses can only send 385 pounds (175 kg) into space. And private astronauts can only spend 30 days on the ISS.
And using the ISS will cost a lot of money. For example, sending things into space will cost over $1,500 per pound ($3,000 per kilogram). Bringing things back down to Earth costs twice as much as that.
NASA says it will cost about $11,250 a day for private astronauts to use life-support systems and the toilet. If private astronauts want "extra" supplies like food, air, or medical equipment, it will cost them an extra $22,500 per day. The picture shows astronauts sharing a meal on the ISS.

NASA is hoping that businesses will jump at the chance to use the ISS for research. NASA is asking businesses to think of special "modules", or new pieces, that could be added on to the ISS for long periods of time.

But NASA's new plan for the ISS also opens the door for very rich people to become "space tourists". At least one company is planning to offer trips in the future. The price? Around $52 million.

The Prospect editorial: The election revealed that the elite was stuck in an echo chamber
Prospect editor Tom Clark on Election 2017—and how the writers in our new issue make sense of it
by Tom Clark	/ June 22, 2017 / Leave a comment
The educated classes spent the last year despairing at know-nothing Brexit and Trump voters. "Post-truth" was named OED word of 2016, and it's now the title of three new books (all reviewed by Simon Blackburn). Anxiety abounds about ignoramuses sealing themselves off to trade in what Kellyanne Conway calls "alternative facts," the echo chamber effect.
But a stunning election result has revealed that those who imagine themselves experts on politics know a great deal less than they thought. Jeremy Corbyn was written off as doomed by the media, and four in five of his MPs. He may not have won, but he topped 40 per cent of the poll, adding 10 points to Labour's score and depriving Theresa May of her majority. There were seemingly-solid pointers against this outcome, such as the Copeland by-election, but there were other straws in the wind—like the surge in party membership. And about these, Gary Younge charges, too many journalists were unforgivably incurious. In other words, politicians and pundits—few of them personally touched by the austerity that has long gnawed at the country, especially its young (Shiv Malik)—were sealed off. Talking to themselves. In an echo chamber of their own.
In the aftermath of their shock, commentators have placed most stress on May's dismal campaign. Her failings are real (Rachel Sylvester), but were surely less important an explanation than Labour's manifesto. May, after all, ultimately notched up an impressive 42 per cent of the ballot, a score she achieved after making decidedly post-Thatcherite noises about harnessing the power of the state on behalf of left-behind communities. But her disparate thoughts were never knitted into a convincing story, and she was caught out by a late shift to Labour, which cut through with clearer, and more confident offers to insecure workers, students and exhausted public servants.
The success of Labour's pitch is a reminder that economic populism can be popular, and no form of populism is without problems. Many of the numbers in the "costed" manifesto were decidedly optimistic, and John McDonnell's last-minute suggestion of a VAT cut would only make the daunting challenge of sustaining the welfare state (Paul Wallace) more difficult. On the other hand, the sudden vulnerability of arid, unimaginative and self-defining "centrism" (Steve Richards) is a wonderful moment in which all kind of questions that have been closed for no good reason could open…

Trials of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments report the average response in multiple outcome measures for treated patients. It is more clinically relevant to test whether individual patients improve with treatment, and this identifies a single primary efficacy measure. Multiple definitions of improvement are currently in use in different trials. The goal of this study was to promulgate a single definition for use in RA trials.
Using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) core set of outcome measures for RA trials, we tested 40 different definitions of improvement, using a 3-step process. First, we performed a survey of rheumatologists, using actual patient cases from trials, to evaluate which definitions corresponded best to rheumatologists' impressions of improvement, eliminating most candidate definitions of improvement. Second, we tested 20 remaining definitions to determine which maximally discriminated effective treatment from placebo treatment and also minimized placebo response rates. With 8 candidate definitions of improvement remaining, we tested to see which were easiest to use and were best in accord with rheumatologists' impressions of improvement.
The following definition of improvement was selected: 20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts and 20% improvement in 3 of the 5 remaining ACR core set measures: patient and physician global assessments, pain, disability, and an acute-phase reactant. Additional validation of this definition was carried out in a comparative trial, and the results suggest that the definition is statistically powerful and does not identify a large percentage of placebo-treated patients as being improved.
We present a definition of improvement which we hope will be used widely in RA trials.


The big news in this weekend's blogosphere circles around predictions that 2011 will be even more dramatic a success for Android than 2010, and unsurprisingly, the iPhone-aholics are coming out of the woodwork to tell us that this is a terrible thing, cornering the discussion into one where we are supposed to believe Google's march into smartphones is only winning due to price, and that the iPhone 4 (and its successors) are dramatically "better", however that is measured, than Android alternatives. This position is no better exemplified than by Robert Scoble's post saying Fred Wilson and Fortune are Right About Android (but I hate it). This follows onto Fred's position that entrepreneurs and VCs need to get ahead by investing in Android and not iOS. This mirrors my comments from July when I said mobile app developers should look to Android before iPhone and iPad.
The differences between Apple and Android this time around are not like Apple and Microsoft of 1995, even if this is the lazy man's way out to compare the two battles. Scoble says, pleadingly, "I sure hope Steve Jobs has one of those moments where he shocks the world again and keeps this game interesting." I'll tell you what, this game already is interesting, and not because the rest of the world is waiting to see what Cupertino develops in an effort to copy its innovation extremely quickly.
I once felt the same way about my iPhone and still feel the same way in many regards to my MacBook Air (even though I am currently typing this on the CR-48). But the reality is not that Apple has held the exclusive to innovation in this space over the last 12-24 months or even longer. Android led the way in true multitasking on the phone, offers a superior GPS experience with top-notch places and maps, and is years ahead of Apple on voice search, it seems.
On Christmas, a friend of mine asked if I had ever shown my kids "Ivor the Engine" on YouTube, similar to Thomas the Train who is well known here. Even though I was uncertain to the pronunciation, I simply clicked the voice search button on my Samsung Epic, said "Ivor the Engine YouTube" into the phone, and I had a video playing in full color in seconds. Android made that happen, and while I am eager to see Apple integrate Siri, who it purchased at the beginning of 2010, I believe the tremendous investment Google has made in search and voice search specifically will keep them ahead here.
The truth is that Android can go feature by feature against iPhone now. iPhone is not yards ahead of the competition, and while there may be some clear places where Apple is ahead, it comes down to an individual's preference now, including their choice to have a keyboard (which Apple seems not interested in doing), their choice of carriers (still limited here, even if Verizon comes to the party), or many other factors. This is not like the Microsoft of the 1990s, where Apple's lead was obvious and Windows 95 was arguably the first usable OS on that platform to be considered Mac-like.
The way you can tell when tech connoisseurs have crossed the line from data to emotion is when they use blanket phrases like "In my usage of the Android-based Samsung Nexus S, I've found it's still behind Apple's iPhone in almost every way," which Scoble drops in his post. If you strongly believe a high pixel density Retina Display is demanded, great. If you think FaceTime is something you use all the time and it trumps Qik, great. But blanket statements don't work for the true nature of the mobile landscape today. Android really is that good.
When I first took the plunge into Android after Google I/O, I was almost as wary as when I had to sit down with a Windows NT box for my first Valley job. I was sure it would be terrible or I would be lost. But I kept being surprised by how the device just made sense, and how the device in many ways was better than my experience on the iPhone. In the six months since, we've only seen Android phones improve, with the expansion of Samsung's Galaxy S series, the Droid Incredible, and the introduction of Android tablets like the Galaxy Tab and Barnes and Noble's NOOKColor. I voted again on Android this Christmas when I bought my wife the NOOKColor, which she'll be using to read voraciously at the expense of her iPad use, with a slimmer form factor and reduced weight.
What was wrong about Microsoft's monopoly position in the 1990s was that they used their market strength to thwart innovation and win with business muscle and side deals rather than through value. That is not what is playing out here again. That Apple has opted out of some business relationships and reduced its potential routes to market while Android hasn't is their choice, and it's making them a ton of money. Apple is still winning as a company and will be a strong #2 in this market, and #1 in profit, as that's their focus.
If the assumption is true that Android is expanding primarily due to low-end handsets, we should be asking Apple for an iOS compatible option at a lower price point. Where is the MacBook or Mac Mini of iPhones? If the company ends up being niched at the top in price while others are providing more options, that can't be a strike against Android, but instead a business decision on the part of Cupertino.
The world of mobile is better with a strong and smart Apple in it. But don't get blinded by the Apple fans trying to define Android as a cheaper, inferior solution. It's not. Get your hands on any high quality Android device at a Sprint store or a Verizon outlet or an AT&T store or a Best Buy to try them out. Even an open minded Apple fan can respect what's happened and should be able to see innovation taking place as well as serious market momentum.

Reporter Reveals That Donald Trump Eats His Steaks Well-Done With Ketchup
Trending News: Trump's Well-Done Steak Is His Biggest Transgression As President
Donald Trump: billionaire, nationally-known celebrity socialite and, more recently, the duly-elected (probably!) President of The United States of America. These are all things that, on their face, confer a certain sense of refined social grace — after all, when we picture wealthy, dignified people, we picture them consuming the finest consumables with the kind of charm school polish that separates them from the Great Unwashed.
But Donald Trump, if nothing else, managed to sell himself as someone who may be a billionaire but is also a Man of The People. This is a ridiculous notion, of course, but it's one that won him the highest office in the land — whether he's scarfing KFC on his private plane, 'noshing on a taco bowl in his Manhattan penthouse or using scotch tape to keep his tie in place, Donald Trump screams "I'm just like you, only richer."

But this latest tidbit of populist theater, captured as part of Independent Journal Review reporter Benny Johnson's meticulous (and excellent) deep-dive into what it's like when the president goes out for dinner, may be a bridge too far. As you might imagine, dining out for the president (even at a hotel that bears his name) is an involved affair — Secret Service at every corner, bomb-sniffing dogs, and all the glad-handing you'd expect. But when it comes time to eat, Trump does something truly monstrous:
8:45 PM: Trump is served his entree. According to a waiter, who wished to remain anonymous:
"The President ordered a well-done steak. An aged New York strip. He ate it with catsup as he always does. The sides and appetizers on the table were shared. Three jumbo shrimp cocktails were delivered before the meal. At one point, the President looked at his watch and remarked "They are filming 'Saturday Night Live' right now. Can't wait to see what they are gonna do to me this week." It was hard to serve him because he is so funny and relaxed, it makes you laugh."
IMPEACH HIM NOW!!
Yes, the president eats his aged steaks well-done, and with ketchup. Anyone who knows anything about steak knows that the finer cuts (your strips, ribeyes, fillets and the like) are best served medium-rare, and certainly no more than medium. Cooking them any more than that robs them of moisture and the textural contrast between the charred outside and buttery inside that makes steak so enjoyable. That's doubly true of aged steaks. The ageing process is one of controlled desiccation, whereby certain compounds break down, making the steak more tender and imparting funky, umami-heavy flavors.

(Just as important, anyone who's ever waited tables or cooked in a kitchen knows why well-done steaks are a nightmare: aside from being a waste of good meat, they take friggin' forever to cook.)
That he eats it with ketchup is maybe no surprise then, because that meat is dry as hell and it's not hard to imagine that President Trump demands BOLD FLAVOR with every bite. That's honestly the least offensive part of this. Using ketchup on a prime cut steak is an abomination, yes, but cooking a steak to well-done basically turns it into a very expensive hamburger, and ketchup is just fine there.
Besides, as a former purveyor of "great steaks," shouldn't Trump know a thing or two about them?
Again, the whole account of the evening is fascinating, but we need to ask ourselves as a nation: should we really give the nuclear codes to a guy who orders his steaks cooked beyond recognition?

Q: Using ZendStudio with XAMPP I had installed XAMPP, as a matter of convenience, since it installs php, apache (which is what I need) and, in addition, it installs other things like MySQL, but I'm not going to use now.
In XAMPP, I enabled the mssql module (editing the php.ini), to use the connection to Microsoft SQL, and everything works fine.
Now, I'm wanting to debug a script in PHP debugger with ZendStudio and I notice that there are two ways:

*

*Internal

*Server

*[Internal], uses the ZendStudio "internal" PHP.

*[Server], connect to a server (which is what I need).

The point is that I can not do it, I can not understand how it is configured.
I would like to use with the XAMPP apache and php.
I use Internal for now, but I get problems with the mssql module. I was looking at the Zend internal php, copied by hand the mssql dll and edited the php.ini (I am talking about the Zend) but still not working.
Any ideas?

A: You will need to install either Zend Debugger or xdebug on the server, and then configure Zend Studio accordingly. Both are fairly easy to install on XAMPP, and there are many articles available through Google that detail installation better than I can here.
If you choose to go with Zend Debugger, you shouldn't need to do anything else in Zend Studio, as it is the default debugger. If you opt for xdebug, you will need to edit your Studio configuration to use xdebug instead. This option can be found under PHP > Debug, and is a drop-down labeled PHP Debugger.
Now you can start a debugging or profiling session using the Zend Studio browser toolbar, or from the Remote Debug or Remote Profiling buttons in Studio. I highly suggest reading the Zend Studio manual for some more advanced debugging information.
Also, just to throw this out there, you can replace XAMPP with Zend Server Community, which has Zend Debugger installed and configured by default. Studio 7+ will pick up a Server installation and configures itself to use it automatically.

A: I'm not all that familiar with ZendStudio, but wouldn't you just use the "Server" option and point to http://localhost/ for the server to connect to?

Chalk it up, walk it off and move on. Not a good performance but Zebre were well up for that and played well, particularly in defence.
Needs to be better next week but I'm sure we will be.
Incidentally thought the Daly offload to Robb was forward.
It's a win Jim but not as we know it.
Missed Farrell going off, everyone nervous we lacked attacking flair in first half.
Thought Ref was kind to them in first half when they persisted in consistently fouling both in play in their 22 and in the scrum.
I thought Fainga'a and Dillane got through a lot of work.
I'll take an ugly win, need a huge improvement for next week.
A depressingly bad performance where we win in the end is so much sweeter than the usual "brave" away losses where we dominate a half and die in the second.
Hopefully they will be much better next week. At least Bundee and Roux will be available. Hopefully Carty, who still looked injured tonight, will be given as much rest as possible beforehand too.
I've been a critic of Copeland but he had two major moments both at the end and earlier when his break deserved points but we pissed it away.
Totally, thank you mister Copeland for the final turnover.
Newname wrote: I thought Fainga'a and Dillane got through a lot of work..
If you add Heffernan to form a quatuor, they runned 36% of Connacht balls!
Strange game. We could/should have built a good lead in the first half, but the longer the game went on with a single point margin, the more nervy we looked. Understandable considering the importance of the game for us I suppose. Losing Tom definitely didn't help, even though Daly was good when he came on. Copeland really helped steady the ship, and that turnover at the end was massive. He deserves to start next week on that alone. Having watched Cardiff against Munster, we need a big performance next week to contain them. I'm sure we'll rise to the occasion.
Just watched the match back here and have to say I'm really unimpressed with the standard of refereeing. Zebre players had hands on the ball at pretty much every single breakdown, the tacklers were holding the ball and man for ages to slow it down and there are loads of examples of players jackaling well after the ruck is already formed, the referee either let it go completely or just told them to release after they had already slowed the ball for ages. Butler actually mentioned it to the ref a couple of times but he was completely disinterested. The penalty against Connacht at half time was bizarre too, he blew it for "straight off feet" against Heff but both his knees were up off the ground and he was bound to the player who had been carrying the ball so I have absolutely no clue what the actual offense was, if anyone else could clear it up I'd be grateful.
Last edit: 2 weeks 3 days ago by Bazzo.
I wondered the exact same about Heff..

Know Who You Are
Randy Murray
This series "The Goal" had as its theme verse 1 Tim 1:5 "Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned". It is interesting to place this verse contextually in the letter Paul is writing to his "own son in the faith' (1Tim 1:2). In 1 Tim 1:3-4 Paul instructs this young pastor who has a tiger by the tail in trying to minister to the church at Ephesus:
"As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith, so do."
So when Paul says "the end of the commandment" he is referring to the charge he gave young Timothy in vs 3 to teach no other doctrine than the one he has learned from his "father in the faith". Paul goes on to tell him to avoid fables and endless genealogies which are each components of much of Jewish tradition (fables) as well as rabbi resumes (genealogies) of that day (do we have this issue today? a whole other lesson).
When we get to verse 6, Paul actually describes this type of teaching as "vain jangling" which in the King James (forgive me, I am not KJV only but I am KJV first when it comes to Bible study) is a not so kind description of a teacher who has no basis for the doctrine he is proposing. Paul warns us and Timothy as well as Titus about false doctrine in many scriptures and proposes the teaching of same as one of the greatest dangers to the church. I suggest it is still the same today.
Finally toward the end of this passage at the end of 1 Tim 1:10 Paul warns Timothy against "any other thing contrary to sound doctrine" which he contrasts in v 11 to "the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust". A very important verse and one that along with the rest of these verses should be compared to the entirety of Colossians chapter 2.
The key verses for this past Sunday's message were Titus 1:15-16. Again let's set these verses contextually to see the intent of the Holy Spirit as He guides Paul's thoughts. Paul has told Titus that he left him in Crete to set in order the things wanting and to ordain elders. One of the principal requirements for these elders was "holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught that he may be able to by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers" (Titus 1:9). Then Paul gives a not so flattering description of the gainsayers and wraps it up by telling Titus to "rebuke them sharply that they may be sound in the faith" (so these were believers). In verse 14 he continues with the description of the rebuke "not giving heed to Jewish fables and the commandments of men that turn from the truth". Of course, this is followed by our key verses of Sunday. Finally, in Titus 2:1 Paul instructs Titus to speak the things which become sound doctrine. Sound familiar?
The church………the Body of Christ (which you were baptized into by the Holy Spirit at the moment of belief 1 Cor 12:13, like it or not) is described as the pillar and support of THE truth (emphasis mine) 1 Tim 3:15. We (Body of Christ) are charged with the edification of one another and this takes place in a number of different ways but it is difficult to "put on Christ" (Rom 13:14) if you know nothing of what He has said concerning you. You find these things between the covers of THE BOOK.
Matt listed a number of scriptures at the end of his message on Sunday and encouraged us to dwell on these things. As a believer, you HAVE the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16). He is in you………..and you are in Him. All He has is yours………and all you have is His. In such a relationship, knowing what He thinks of you, what He has done for you, what He has done in you and His will for this age are of utmost importance. Study to show thyself approved.

Pearl Jam release Eagles Of Death Metal covers
Pearl Jam posted a message on their website that you can read below.
In the aftermath of the horrific and senseless terrorist attacks on Paris on November 13, 2015, Eagles Of Death Metal asked its musical family to extend the victims of the Paris attacks the same kindness and compassion that everyone from the members of U2 to the French authorities had shown the band—to Play It Forward: EODM asked artists the world over to cover "I Love You All The Time" from its current album Zipper Down. For every cover sold, the band pledged to donate 100% of its publishing income to The Sweet Stuff Foundation, the non-profit organization founded in 2013 by EODM co-founder Joshua Homme to provide assistance to musicians and their families in times of need, as well as musical education and gear for the next generation. Participating artists were also asked to donate the money generated from sales of the song to the charity.
Pearl Jam and drummer Matt Cameron join Eagles of Death Metal to Play It Forward by releasing two EODM covers to benefit the victims of the November 13th terrorist attack in Paris and the family of fallen EODM crew member Nick Alexander.
Pearl Jam "Want You So Hard" (Recorded Live at Estadio Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, BR. Nov 22, 2015)
Matt Cameron "I Love You All The Time"
A digital bundle of both songs goes live at 9am PT on Friday, December 18 at www.pearljam.com.
A pre-order of the vinyl version of these songs goes live at that same time at www.pearljam.com.
All proceeds from the sale of these tracks will benefit the Paris attack victims and Nick Alexander's family via The Sweet Stuff Foundation.
Matt Cameron explains: "After reading Josh Homme's email encouraging fellow musicians to cover EODM's "I Love You All the Time," I was very inspired to act quickly, so I recorded a version on a night off from tour in Mexico City in my hotel room, 11-27-2015, 8pm-12am. I am honored to be a part of this movement of unity and support. We'll never stop."

This week, Eagles Of Death Metal is overwhelmed with gratitude by the generosity and empathy made manifest in the first wave of "I Love You All The Time" covers being released by a collection of artists, all of whom are donating any royalties due them for these performances.
Homme commented on the Play It Forward initiative and this first showing of camaraderie: "I made a plea to artists and business people alike to come together to use our solidarity as proof that we are stronger together, and that we can make a difference. We are proud to be a little part of such a big group of talent and good will. We can't thank these artists enough for their donations of talent, love, time, and compassion. Now, the Play It Forward Campaign is in the hands of the fans to help us make a difference, and to help those affected by this tragedy. Please listen, purchase, play, and enjoy – and know that every time you do, you're doing the sweet stuff that makes that difference."

Bridesmaid dresses: They're the 'can't live with them, can't live without them' of the wedding party. And the "bad bridesmaid dress" is such a cliche that it isn't even worth trotting out all the bad jokes about them. But for the conscientious bride (anyone who doesn't want to saddle their friends with a several hundred-dollar dress that can only be worn once), finding dresses that look good on everyone and stay under budget is possibly the tallest task of all.
Luckily, you don't have to relegate yourself to the uniform strapless chiffon dress at bridal salons across the country. Here are a few ways to think outside the norm⎯and the options are still totally stunning.
By perusing the formal wear section in department stores like Macy's,Nordstrom, andBloomingdale's, you'll be amazed at the variety of gorgeous gowns that won't look quite so bridesmaid-y. The best part is there are more unique options to choose from, and department stores often have incredible sales and coupons so the final price can be a fraction of the cost.
02. Put the Power in Your Girls' Hands.
Give your maids a color swatch and let them pick whatever dress they want that falls in that color range. Remember to give any instruction on fabric type and sleeve preference. And, in the end, you have to let go of some of your control and just be happy to have the dear women in your life witnessing your big day.
Not sure where to start for a color scheme palette? Design Seedsis a stellar site to help find the right combo of colors to suit your taste.
One of the hardest parts about wedding party planning is the expectation for your friends and family to spend a lot of money on the dress.

Coral Princess Cruises launches new loyalty program
Australia's pioneer of small-ship expedition cruising Coral Princess Cruises has announced details of their new Xplorers club loyalty program to coincide with launch of the company's new website at www.coralprincess.com.au.
After completing their first cruise with the company guests are automatically admitted to the Xplorers club as a Silver member, with the ability to receive even greater benefits after accruing additional nights onboard and qualifying as Gold or Platinum members. Members of the club receive generous discounts of between 5% and 10% off normal cruise prices, along with a range of onboard bonuses including a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine on boarding each cruise, free wireless internet access and discounts on bar purchases. Gold and Platinum members will also receive advance notification of new itineraries and an invitation to exclusive Xplorers club cruises, whilst Platinum members will receive a special travel compendium in recognition of their status as one of the company's most frequent guests.
In a first for the Australian cruise industry, a milestone reward of a free 7-night Great Barrier Reef cruise is available to all Xplorers club members after completing 50 cruising nights aboard the Coral Princess fleet.
In launching the new loyalty program at the start of the company's 30th anniversary year, Coral Princess founder and Managing Director Tony Briggs said "our repeat guests continue to be the backbone of Coral Princess Cruises and the launch of Xplorers club is our way of saying thank you to our most regular guests for their support over the past 30 years. It is this loyalty from our guests that has seen us grow from a small operator with one ship on the Great Barrier Reef in 1984 to now being seen as one of the world's leading small-ship cruise lines".
The launch of Xplorers club coincides with the release of the company's new website www.coralprincess.com.au. Full details of the Xplorers club can be found at www.coralprincess.com.au/xplorersclub/.
Australian-owned Coral Princess Cruises pioneered small-ship expedition cruising in Australia in 1984 and operates a fleet of three small ships on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, Kimberley Coast and Cape York & Arnhem Land. Further afield, there are expeditions to New Guinea, the Spice Islands and Raja Ampat, Melanesia and New Zealand. The company is also currently offering savings of up to 25% on its 10 night Kimberley Expeditions between Darwin and Broome during the April 2012 "Waterfall Season".

For immediate release: 29 November 2018
Norwegian Tech Awards winners revealed by TU Media
Award-winning news site TU Media TU.no, the publisher of Teknisk Ukeblad, Norway's leading business technology and innovation magazine, has announced the winners of the 2018 Norwegian Tech Awards. The initiative celebrates the year's prime movers in the fields of maritime, construction and business leadership, with key projects, people and companies vying for recognition. 2018 saw a mixture of established names and innovative solutions taking the top prizes.
The awards were revealed at a gala ceremony taking place this evening, 28 November, at Oslo's Militære Samfund. The main prize, the overall 2018 Norwegian Tech Award, went to Zivid in acknowledgement of their groundbreaking 3D imaging technology for several fields of application. Considered to be a frontrunner, the company moved beyond its R&D program, successfully commercialising its product.
In the individual category awards, Kongsberg Group's President and CEO Geir Håøy secured the coveted Technology Leader of the Year title, while another high profile Kongsberg figure, Nils Albert Jenssen, won the 2018 Honorary Award for his defining work in the development of the firm's revolutionary Dynamic Positioning system.
Mjøstårnet, the world's tallest wooden building, scooped the Building and Construction accolade for project partners Hent, Sweco, Voll and Moelven. In doing so the 85.4m, 18 storey, mixed use timber construction beat off competition from fellow nominees Imerso, Spacemaker, and HUS Arkitekter, Veidekke and Kjelsberg Eiendom for Lysgården.
This year marked the debut of the TU Maritime award, with The Fjords' ground-breaking, zero emission, all electric, 400-passenger capacity sightseeing vessel Future of The Fjords sailing away with the prize for shipyard Brødrene Aa. The eye-catching ship triumphed over competing shortlisted finalists Optimarin, and its Optimarin Ballast System, Rolls Royce Marine with Autocrossing, Connect LNG's Universal Transfer System, and Corvus' Corvus Energy Storage System.
Speaking of this year's winners, Teknisk Ukeblad Chief Editor and CEO Jan M. Moberg comments: "These awards are now firmly established as Norway's foremost technology accolades, recognizing companies and people that are not only leading their respective segments, but also leading the world in terms of ambition, innovation and achievement.
"At TU we put a special emphasis on solutions that help solve society and industry's greatest challenges, demonstrating the power of technology to contribute to responsible development and impact positively upon diverse stakeholder groups. All of our winners this year show the value of not just thinking 'big', but acting to make a difference. On behalf of ourselves and the one million Norwegians that come into contact with our printed and digital titles, we'd like to congratulate them all."

HOME > MYANMAR > Mawlamyine
Located in southeastern Myanmar, Mawlamyine served as the capital of British Burma from 1827 to 1852, during which time it rose to prominence as a major port. Indeed, Mawlamyine, under its colonial name of Moulmein, appeared in the works of Rudyard Kipling and George Orwell - both of whom had lived and traveled extensively in Burma.
Today, while Mawlamyine's colonial structures are in quite an advanced state of decay, the town remains a comfortable, pleasant place, with tree-lined streets overlooking the muddy waters of the Salween River. While the town primarily makes its living from tourism, sawmills, and nearby rice farms, it has gained national fame for its fantastic, fresh tropical fruits, including pungent but sickly-sweet durians, and refreshing, citrusy pomelos.
Colonial Tour
Mawlamyine has colonial remnants from the rule of the British Raj. It was once home to a number of rubber plantations and, like other towns and hill stations in British India, was called "Little England."
Cultural Mix
Mawlamyine has significant Catholic history. Saint Patrick's School, founded by the De La Salle brothers, first opened its doors in 1860 and is still operating today, albeit under the new label of "BEHS-5." The town's Saint Augustine Church also makes a worthwhile stop. Other cultures and religions here include the Mon ethnic people, who are chronicled in the Mon State Cultural Museum, and Galakhar Hindus, who have long had a presence in Mawlamyine due to trade with India.
Famous Writers
George Orwell and Rudyard Kipling, two writers beloved in great measure for their recollections of life in the British Raj, penned works directly relating to Mawlamyine. Kipling's poem "Mandalay" and Orwell's memoir Shooting the Elephant are the most famous.
Kaw Gon Caves
Also known as Kogun, Kaw Gon Cave is an important archaeological site dating back to the 7th century. More of an extended rock outcropping than a true cave, Kaw Gon is filled with Buddhist art, including figurines of the Buddha, Buddhist scriptures carved in clay tablets, and even a separate, reclining Buddha painted in red and gold.
Nwa Le Bo Pagoda
Located about 10 miles to the north of the town, Nwa Le Bo Pagoda is situated atop a small mountain. The round-trip hike, which takes approximately four hours, is a great activity for travelers in good physical shape.
Pa Auk Taw Ya Monastery
Visit Pa Auk Taw Ya Monastery, a meditation center located about 10 miles to the south of the main town, and meet some of the hundreds of monks who live here.

The rooms have separate sitting rooms, satellite TV with in-house movies, hot showers and bathtubs, air conditioning, mini bars and fridges. There is a large open air restaurant with a river view and an air-conditioned dining room offering Burmese and international dishes. The hotel also provides golf clubs for rent, Burmese traditional massage and fishing.
The Strand Hotel
Located on the banks of the Thanlwin River, The Strand is one of Mawlamyine's larger hotels. Within walking distance to the town's central market, the basic hotel has a total of 64 rooms and suites with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, hot and cold showers and WiFi. The large rooms are classically decorated and have pleasant views of the river and town. There is an onsite restaurant serving local and international cuisine.
Our co-founder & CEO Catherine Heald enjoys going to Myanmar and trekking in remote hilltribe villages, where the way of life has remained the same for hundreds of years.
