Burton Albion were 1-0 winners over Walsall on Friday evening courtesy of an early Rene Howe strike at the Pirelli.
The Brewers made a lively start and were ahead inside two minutes; Chris Hussey delivering a ball from the left to the unmarked Howe who made no mistake with a clinical finish past Richard O' Donnell in the Saddlers goal from 12 yards.
The frenetic opening then gave way to a period of relative calm as both sides looked to suss each other out in the evening sunshine. Whilst the visitors regained composure following the early set-back the Saddlers offered little in terms of clear-cut chances and it was Burton who came close to extending their lead on 18 minutes when a Howe cross narrowly missed both Robbie Weir and Alex MacDonald in the area.
The Brewers continued to be good value for their lead and a Rory Delap long throw on 33 minutes could have resulted in a second; the visitors failing to clear before the ball fell to Robbie Weir who dragged his effort wide of the right-hand post from 25 yards.
Burton continue to press, albeit with few chances, and went into the half-time break with a deserved lead; Brewers' keeper Dean Lyness rarely tested in the opening 45 minutes.
Gary Rowett made three changes at the break with Phil Edwards, Matty Palmer and Jimmy Phillips replacing Delap, Adam Reed and Alex MacDonald with the visitors electing to stick with the starting eleven and the early stages saw the Saddlers get to grips with Burton's physical superiority in the first half.
However it was Burton who could have and perhaps should have extended their advantage on 57 minutes as the impressive Howe flicked the ball expertly to Robbie Weir who found himself one on one only to be denied by O'Donnell.
Moments later it was Walsall's turn to go close. Former Chesterfield man Craig Westcarr finding Milan Lalkovic who fired his effort onto Lyness' right-hand post.
The drama was not over there. Weir getting another bite of the cherry on 63 minutes; his curling effort from 20 yards defeating O'Donnell but not the 'keeper's post.
On 71 minutes the Brewers made their fourth change with Michael Symes replacing Howe; the former Torquay man looking a threat all night and it was Jack Dyer was the next Albion player to enter the fray; replacing Weir on 79.
The visitors were looking threatening in the closing stages as Dean Smith's threw bodies forward in their search for an equaliser but it was nearly game over on 84 when Chris Hussey became the latest player to hit the post; his looping free-kick clipping the top of the crossbar before going out of play.
A final chance came for the visitors with a minute remaining as the lively Lalkovic cut inside the area; however his effort lacked composure and fell high and wide of Lyness' right-hand post.
Shortly after, the final whistle came giving Burton Albion a deserved win over Walsall by a goal to nil.
The Brewers now conclude their pre-season fixtures with a trip to Mickleover Sports on Monday evening; a 7:45pm start at the Raygar Stadium.
Burton Albion: Lyness, Delap (Edwards 45), Hussey, Sharps, Holness, McCrory, Bell, Weir (Dyer 79), Reed (Palmer 45), MacDonald (Phillips 45), Howe (Symes 71).
Subs: Horton, Knowles, Currie, Doyle, Harness.
Walsall: O'Donnell, Butler, A. Chambers, Mantom, Lalkovic, Westcarr, Downing, Benning, J. Chambers, Flanagan, Morris (Griffiths 87).

Beethoven and his French Piano
EPRC 0036 TOM BEGHIN
In 1803 Beethoven received a piano from Erard Frères in Paris. Why had he been so keen to own a French instrument and how did it inspire him, both as a pianist and a composer? The answer may lie in these performances on a new replica of Beethoven's French piano, created as part of a unique research project. Placing the iconic "Waldstein" and "Appassionata" sonatas alongside equally grand pieces by two of his Parisian contemporaries, they reveal an unfamiliar French aspect to Beethoven's genius.

For those questions of the specialisation, the Informaitc engineers develop applications of digital graphic destined to designers, users that, in general, ignore with the chore of developing applications. Also, most of the designers have to fight with applications that do not contemplate their necessities neither translates their expressive intentions with clarity. This reciprocal discussion may find an adequate solution in interdisciplinary work. The fecundity, and until the possibility, of the internal dialogue of these teams will depend, between other looks, of the quantity of common concepts that they possess. In this sense, we focused our educational task opposite the future engineers. We understand that, at the same time, the actual education of the designer, in whatever of their multiple looks, should contemplate the basic training (not instrumental but if conceptual) in questions related with the code of the applications that they use. This intellectual effort would enable the digital designer to investigate the topics of personalising their user applications (AutoCAD, CorelDraw, etc.). In this ground, we should greet the admission of the languages of visual code (Delphi, Visual [basic], etc.) that they permit a friendlier development of applications. Its goal is qualify them in order to develop applications of digital graphic, providing them concepts of space understanding and visual training for the production of IT applications of digital graphic.

Posted July 9th, 2015 - News Posted for Brazil News, World Surfing News.
An ISA Judging and Officiating course was held in the town of Santos, on the south coast of the state of São Paulo, on July 3rd, the first Surfing Seminar in Santos.
The event was a success, with the presence of 37 participants, most looking for training in order to start a career as a judge in their association. Also, several regular judges looking for review at a high level, as well as coaches and athletes attended the seminar.
Course participants takes notes from Course Presenter Jordao Bailo Junior in Santos, Brazil.
All participants will receive the International Surfing Association – ISA accreditation, and get into the Judging & Officiating Development Program. The program developed by ISA, is now in 44 countries.
The course presenter Jordao Bailo Junior was the first Brazilian judge to work full-time on the ASP World Tour (now WSL). He also has been judging and head judging for the ISA for over 20 years.
ISA courses cover in a didactic way, all judging aspects, from identification of maneuvers to the use of the scoring scale, judging criteria and interference rules, however the use of video exercises on practice of evaluation, comparison and separation of scores can be considered one of the highlights of this course.
Thirty-seven participants of the ISA Judging and Officiating Course display their course completion ceritificates.
Compiled by Australian Glen Elliot and developed in Australia by the University of Deakin with the support of recognized surfing personnel all around the world, this is the most comprehensive and updated course today.
The new judges will now start to practicing, doing simulated judging or judging small local events, in order to attain the necessary experience so they can one day get a place in the judging panel of their local associations and state federations, or even more.
For those of you who are interested in joining the ISA courses in Brazil, stay tuned on the ISA's official home page calendar.

Q: VBA Deleting Rows based on value from multiple columns Every morning I need to filter out phonenumbers from an export. I need to filter through a excel document and delete rows where the phonenumber is correctly filled in. The document looks like this:

The rows need to be deleted when:

*

*When COM_Soort is not G or T

*When Landcode is not NL, BE or Empty.

*COM_SOORT = G, Landcode = NL, Waarde starts with 06 and is 10 numbers
long (Does not contain strange characters and such.)

*COM_SOORT = T, Landcode = NL, Waarde starts with 0, does not start with 06 and is 10 numbers
long (Does not contain strange characters and such.)

*COM_SOORT = G, Landcode = BE, Waarde starts with 04 and is 10 numbers
long (Does not contain strange characters and such.)

*COM_SOORT = T, Landcode = BE, Waarde starts with 0, does not start with 04 and is 9 numbers
long (Does not contain strange characters and such.)

I am trying to make a macro with VBA that automates this process. This is my first time doing this so bear with me. I am currently stuck with the following:

*

*I need to run the code as different macros otherwise it only deletes the columns and then just stops, no error etc.

*I don't know how to implement that it checks wether 'Waarde' contains somethings else than numbers

*I don't know how to implement that when 'Waarde' starts with 0 it needs to be deleted except when it starts with 06 or 04 depending what the value of COM_SOORT and Landcode is.

I hope you guys can help me out.

A: Try the next code, please. It should be very fast for big range size, deleting all rows at once:

    If sh.Range("B" & i).Value <> "G" And sh.Range("B" & i).Value <> "T" Then
        boolDel = True
    ElseIf sh.Range("C" & i).Value <> "NL" And _
            sh.Range("C" & i).Value <> "BE" And _
            Not IsEmpty(sh.Range("C" & i).Value) Then

           sh.Range("C" & i).Value = "BE" And _
           left(sh.Range("D" & i).Value, 2) = "04" And _
           Len(sh.Range("D" & i).Value) = 10 And _
           sh.Range("D" & i).Value Like "##########" Then
        boolDel = True
    ElseIf sh.Range("B" & i).Value = "T" And _
           sh.Range("C" & i).Value = "BE" And _
           left(sh.Range("D" & i).Value, 1) = "0" And _
           left(sh.Range("D" & i).Value, 2) <> "04" And _
           Len(sh.Range("D" & i).Value) = 9 And _
           sh.Range("D" & i).Value Like "#########" Then
        boolDel = True
    End If
    If boolDel Then
        If rngDel Is Nothing Then
            Set rngDel = sh.Range("A" & i)
        Else
            Set rngDel = Union(rngDel, sh.Range("A" & i))
        End If
    End If
    boolDel = False
 Next
 If Not rngDel Is Nothing Then
    'rngDel.EntireRow.Delete xlUp
    rngDel.Interior.Color = vbGreen
 End If
End Sub

The above code only makes the interior of the cells in A:A green, for the row to be deleted. This is only for the testing period. If everything goes well, you must only un-comment the line rngDel.EntireRow.Delete xlUp and comment/delete the following one (rngDel.Interior.Color = vbGreen) and sh.UsedRange.Columns(1).Interior.Color = xlNone.

MPs handed inflation-busting pay rise to almost £82,000 a year - But will they even work for it?
MPs have been handed an inflation-busting pay rise which will see their annual salary soar to almost £82,000, and yet, under newly released Corona virus fighting plans, the Palace of Westminster could close for the Easter recess and not re-open again until after the summer.
The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) announced their wages would go up from £79,468 to £81,932 - an increase of 3.1%.
The pay rise will be given automatically following the expenses body's recommendation and MPs will not need to vote on the change.
The IPSA has also increased MPs' staffing budget by £19.7m following a campaign to secure their employees a pay rise.
It means each of the 650 MPs will recieve a budget increase of 13.1% (£21,900) for staff in London, and 13.9% (21,600) for staff based in the rest of the country.
Meanwhile, Downing Street confirmed that it is in talks with parliamentary authorities about a plan of action if the Corona outbtreak continues to get worse - One source said: "We've got 650 people who spend half the week spread across the country meeting their constituents and the other half rubbing up against one another in Westminster. It's 650 superspreaders."
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said: "Discussions are already taking place with parliamentary authorities and scientific and medical advisers.
"I'm sure Parliament will be led by the advice of the experts in terms of taking the steps it needs in order to protect the people who work there."

Q: How to lay out the conversion of £ $(13 + v^{2}/52)$ per hour to £ per mile "29. The total running cost of a ship per hour is £ (13 + $v^{2}$/52) where $v$ knots is the speed. if £ $C$ is the cost per nautical mile, write down an equation expressing $C$ in terms of $v$..."
So, we know the cost in £ h$^{-1}$. We need the cost in £ mi$^{-1}$. Additionally, the cost is expressed in terms of $v$ which is given in units of mi h$^{-1}$.
On the face of it, I thought (and I haven't got much experience of doing this), all I have to do is divide by $v$ mi h$^{-1}$:
$\dfrac{\text{£}\,x\ \text{h}^{-1}}{y \text{ mi h}^{-1}} = \text{£}\,z\text{ mi}^{-1}$
This gives the right answer:
$$\frac{13}{v} + \frac{v}{52}$$
But I don't know how to lay it out. I know the question says "write down" - but if only for own benefit, I'd still like to know how to do it nicely.

Bronx Noir
Edited by: S.J. Rozan
Best-selling crime writer S.J. Rozan corrals a diverse crew of celebrated authors to highlight the dark magnificence of her native New York City borough.
Read "Falconer" by S.J. Rozan, part of Akashic's Mondays Are Murder series.
Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each story is set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the city of the book.
Brand new stories by: Jerome Charyn, Lawrence Block, Suzanne Chazin, Terrence Cheng, Pat Picciarelli, Abraham Rodriguez, Kevin Baker, S.J. Rozan, Steven Torres, and others.
From the introduction by S.J. Rozan:
"You can't pack so much yearning, so many people, such a range of everything—income, ethnicity, occupation, land use—into a single borough, even one as big as the Bronx, and not force the kind of friction that slices and sparks. The Bronx has been the home to big-time gangsters—from the Jewish organized crime of Murder Inc. and the Italian Cosa Nostra to the equally organized drug-dealing gangstas of today. The Third Avenue El was a Hopperesque symbol of urban hopelessness; it's been demolished, but trains on other lines still rumble through the roofscapes of the borough. Prosperity is increasing and drug use is decreasing, but the public housing projects in the Bronx are some of the nation's largest and remain some of its toughest. Many places in the Bronx seem hidden in shadows, just as the Bronx itself is in Manhattan's shadow. And dark stories develop best in shadows . . ."

Discussion in 'The Projects Forum' started by alto125, Sep 14, 2013.
I'm working on a project that requires reading biomedical signals from the body, I'm making an analog front end with differential amplifier, bandpass filter, full wave rectifier, integrator and variable amplifier.
Can you attach your schematic in a picture format, such as .png? I can't use the .asc file.
A copy of a googled precision rectifier only tells us that the rectifier is correct. How you built it must be wrong.
Is that scope showing the first 3 pulses at start up or a steady state condition?
Which amplifier chip are you using? How much voltage did you give it to work with (at the supply terminals)? How much current does it have to provide to its load? Stuff like that.
Looks like you are trying to rectify the signal from your sensors. Normally, you would amplify the signal from the sensor before rectification.
and you still have not told which chip you used for the precision rectifier.
We can not examine the precision rectifier unless you disclose what you used to make it.
OK. That chip should do nicely. You have an available input range of +/- 5 volts and the available output into 10k ohms is +/- 7 volts. I shall now try to imagine which diodes you used and how the precision rectifier is connected to the previous and following circuits.
No, actually, I will not. I can not examine a circuit which you refuse to reveal. I am done begging you to let me help you.


The Undermine Challenge Map 1.12 is the unique maze and parkour map that brings players with extremely difficult obstacles to get through. One beautiful day, when you are wandering around, accidentally you see an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere and your curiosity eppears and you can't stop entering the building to discover interesting things which you think that it is worth a try. However the curiosity may be the death of you, since inside of the building differs from its outside and that challenges you more. This map features 1 main level of parkour trail, but this level is divided into 6 different mini levels. Actually, somone says it's difficult, but others say it's easy. Therefore, the evaluation depends on how parkour skill you are. It's recommend that you should use /gamemode 2 to play this map. In case you can't get through one jump, keep calm and still use gamemode 2, because this map is already ensured to be without issues. All jumps are possible.
Download the The Undermine Challenge Map from link below.
Extract the map files with a Zip extractor.
Go to .minecraft/saves folder. If the "saves" folder does not exist you can create one.
Windows – Open the Start menu and select Run, or press the Windows key + R. Type (without quotes) "%appdata%.minecraftsaves" and press Enter.
OS X – Open the Go menu in Finder and select "Go to Folder". Type (without quotes) "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves" and press Return.
Copy the extracted map folder into the "saves" folder that opens.
Start minecraft. Enjoy and play.

Visitors to Mottisfont in early summer will have the opportunity to enjoy a number of botanical-themed exhibitions both in the gallery and out in the grounds.
Plants Portrayed and For the Time Being will be shown side-by-side in the gallery from May, while A Good Year for the Roses can be seen out in the Beech Circle from March. Each exhibition is a celebration of plants and the natural world, and will be on display as the National Trust property's famous rose gardens bloom from late May until early July.
Plants Portrayed is a selection of 34 original contemporary botanical illustrations from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Botanical illustration is a delicate combination of art and science: a true and lifelike representation of a plant that provides a visually striking image. Mottisfont's exhibition showcases intricately detailed and colourful illustrations of flowers, leaves and trees – including some varieties that you'll find out in the grounds, such as sweet chestnut.
The exhibition includes work by Pandora Sellars – one of the world's most important and influential botanical painters – and her former student Masumi Yamanaka, now a renowned artist in her own right.
Pandora Sellars began to exhibit internationally in the early 1970s, and a highly successful solo exhibition was held at Kew in 1990; she was awarded a Gold medal by the RHS in 1977 in recognition of the excellence of her work. Mottisfont's exhibition includes a number of the original artworks she was famous for, of the genus Arum.
Masumi Yamanaka studied under Pandora Sellars and soon began to show work at the RHS including a series of Camellias at the London Flower Show for which she was awarded a Silver-Gilt Medal, and was the recipient of a gold medal from the RHS in 2010.
Plants Portrayed also includes works by Lucy Smith, Christabel King, Margaret Stones, Andrew Brown, Joanna Langhorne, Rachel Pedder-Smith and Ann Farrer.
For the Time Being showcases ceramic compositions, prints and artist books from a one-year residency by Hampshire-based artists Suna Imre and Eileen White. Suna and Eileen visited Mottisfont and the wider estate together from autumn 2017 to 2018 to develop their respective practices. Their choice of materials and processes creates a narrative about time, place and the beauty of nature within the cycle of decay and renewal.
For Eileen the project at Mottisfont brought a new dimension to her practice, allowing her work to develop, quite literally, over a long period. She used different ways to capture photographic images without a camera as both a scientific and poetic experience. Suna spent her time closely engaged with the grounds of Mottisfont, responding to the relationship between the estate and the natural world. Her contemplative ceramic pieces are both responsive to the specific time and place as well as reflective of wider environmental concerns.
A Good Year for the Roses is an outdoor exhibition of quirky, colourful portraits taken by The Caravan Gallery in Mottisfont's famous rose gardens during the summers of 2017 and 2018. The Caravan Gallery is a collaboration between artists and photographers Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale who photograph the reality and surreality of everyday life. Since 2000 they have exhibited, nationally and internationally, in their reincarnated 1969 Bluebird caravan, community spaces and high-profile galleries and museums. The photographs, displayed in Mottisfont's Beech Circle, capture the resplendent colours of flowers and visitors alike.
Plants Portrayed and For The Time Being will be on display in the gallery fromSaturday 4 May – Sunday 7 July. Mottisfont's gallery opens at 11am and closes at 5pmA Good Year for the Roses will be on display in the Beech Circle from Saturday 9 March – 30 June 2019. Normal property admission price only, free for National Trust members. For visitors unable to access the second floor gallery, Mottisfont has digital versions of exhibitions on iPads, which are available on lower levels.

GoDaddy customer reviews : Should I try GoDaddy?? GeekSquad.info - Possible Legal Issues?
GeekSquad has been taken in ALL the extensions (including .cc, .ws and .name), but I was somehow able to handreg the .info extension.
Could there be any possible legal issues with this name or is it generic enough? It was a bit weird, seeing all the extensions taken but the .info (which is a much better extension than .ws or .name and .biz) still available for hand reg. The only reason I could give was some legal dispute regarding the name.
Nice find. I dont think you will have any legal issues unless you start advertising there services for a profit, or use any of there trademarked images/logos.
I would offer it to them or put it on TDNAM or SEDO, try and get private reg for it. I would leave it as a dead URL or leave it on a blank page for now til you figure out what you are going to do with it.
Your first paragraph is good, you are stating do not use it in bad faith. Good start. And then onto your second paragraph.... You are advising to use the domain in bad faith.
What I was trying to say in my second paragraph, is before he tries to market/produce anything on the domain, to make sure of the TM/legal issues before doing so, if any at all. Sorry that I was not clear, haven't slept in days..
And I cannot park the domain while I develop it either, right?.
Its kinda weird actually...Best Buy has registered pretty much all the extensions for GeekSquad, but why would they leave out the .info?..
GeekSquad.tv though has been registered by someone else, and also GeekSquad.eu.
And yeah it is weird...if BestBuy could register the .name and .ws, they could've very well regged the .info (which is a much much better ext. than .ws and .name).
Develop a site as soon as possible, just make sure that none of the wording, products or services offered/rendered can be mistakenly identified with the geeksquad. Get creative and use it in a way different fashion/business model.

If they want it, I don't think you are going to have much of a leg to stand on, unfortunately.
Come to think of it. The time invested into this thread exceeds the value of the domain already. I don't think it's going to be worth your headache to develop the domain. At present, you're out of $2, or maybe you can even recover the $2 by calling GD and explaining your situation. In the end, any attempt to take this domain to the next level and monetize it, would probably cost you more than the domain can possibly generate for you.
In this sense, my advice would be, return the domain (if possible) or call best buy to hand it over to them or do nothing and let it expire.
If I do set up some sort of website (ANY sort. Even a personal blog), will Best Buy first send me a Cease and Desist letter or simply take me to court? If they do send me a C&D letter, I won't mind surrendering the name to them...but I do want to take the chance of them offering me something for it (I'm greedy...hehe) and set up something on it (something that I probably wont even put ads on).
In that case, will they ask me to surrender the name first or just take me to court?..
They can do either, and while it may be true that companies typically send C&D's or UDRP rather than using the ACPA/Lanham Act/more traditional "lawsuits", there is nothing to prevent them from going straight for the jugular.
Plenty of posts and threads on this elsewhere in the forum (Legal Issues); take a bit to read around and see what could happen if they decide to make an example of you.
What if they file a lawsuit and you have to spend thousands to defend yourself by hiring a lawyer?.
What if they file a UDRP or WIPO and you then have a permanant Public record of being a cybersquatter? And that is used against you in a future case.
Did you know that if they file a UDRP, that Godaddy will charge YOU $20 to $30 to put a hold on the domain while it's being investigated?..

Thank you for a very interesting blog!
I think wellbeing and control is related to happiness. And that happiness is related to experiencing FLOW. So if we search for the personal FLOW-state, at least once in a while, we will have a chance to experience happiness – and then again wellbeing and control (which is a part of the flow-state).
Can we Trust Blockchain in an Era of 'Post Truth'?
Can citizens make good decisions?
•	Very Easy – Just read the blog titles: Most blog title are propositions that the blog content attempts to justify. Just reading the names of the blogs in order from first to last will provide an overview of the approach.
•	Quite Easy - Just read the text in bold. This brings out the main points in each posting.
•	Easy - Just watch the videos. This is easy but can take a while. The running time of each video can be seen in the caption above it. Hover over the video to see the controls – play and pause, large screen, and navigate around.
•	Harder – Read the whole blog. Useful if you are really interested, want to learn, or want to comment, disagree with the content, have another angle or whatever. The blog is not being publicised yet but please feel free to comment and I will try to respond if and when I can.
The blog attempts not to be a set of platitudes about what you should do to be happy. In fact, I would like to distance myself from the 'wellbeing marketplace' and all those websites/blogs that try and either sell you something or proffer advice. This is something quite different. It takes as its premise that there is a relationship between wellbeing, needs and control in both the individual and society. If needs are not being met and you have no control to alter the situation, then wellbeing will suffer.
While this may seem obvious, there is something to be gained by understanding the implications of this simple idea. We are quite used to thinking about wellbeing in terms of specifics like money, health, relationships, work and so on, but less familiar with dealing with the more generic and abstract concepts of need and control.
Taking a more abstract approach helps filter out much of the distraction and noise of our usual perceptions. It focuses on the central issues and their applicability across many specifics that affect how we think and feel.
The blog often questions our current models of the way we think about the human condition and society. It looks at the things we all know and talk about – decisions and choices, relationships and loss, jobs and taxes, wealth and health but in a way in which they are not usually described. It tries to develop a new account, that draws on a broadly based understanding of what we now know from science, culture and common sense.
If you are looking for simple answers you will not find them here. This is not because the answers are complex. It is because the answers are not necessarily what you expect.
If you are looking to explore in some depth the nature of wellbeing and how it is influenced by what you can control, and what others can control that may affect you, then read on. Playing through some of these ideas into the specifics of policy, at the level of society and the individual, will take time but I hope you will see the virtue of working from first principles.
When walking through any landscape different people will see different things. A geologist might see an ice-age come and go, forming undulations in its wake. A politician might see territorial boundaries. Somebody else may see a hill they have to climb together with the weight of their back-pack.
Taking a perspective of wellbeing and control is different from how we normally look at the world. It's a deeper look at why and how things happen as they do and the consequences on wellbeing. It questions the relationship between intention and outcome.
We normally see and act through the well-worn habits of our thoughts and behaviours as they have evolved to deal with things as they are now. We mainly chose the easy options that require the least resource. As a survival strategy this generally works well, but it also entrenches patterns of thought, behaviour and emotion that sometimes, for the benefit of our wellbeing, need to be changed. When considering change, people often say 'well, I wouldn't start from here'. And that's the position I take. I am not starting from the ways things are or have evolved, but from the place they might have been had we known what we know now and had designed them.
The blogs argue that, in an era of specialisation, we have forgotten the big picture – we act specifically and locally within the silos of our specialised education and experience. We check process rather than outcomes. We often fail to integrate our knowledge and apply it to the design of our social and work systems (as well as our own thoughts and behaviours).
To understand society we first need to understand the individual and to this end, a psychological account of how we feel, think and behave based on notions of wellbeing and control is proposed. And not in an abstract airy-fairy kind of way, but as a more or less precise theory that forms the basis of a predictive and testable computational model. The theory is essentially about how, both as individuals and society we manage multiple (and often conflicting) intentions in real time within limited resources. I call this model 'the human operating system'. This is like a computer operating system except that it is motivated by emotions, modulated by reason and is expressed in the language of mind and its qualities of agency and intentionality.
Just as in the mathematics of fractal geometry, complex structures can emerge from simple rules. The explanation given of the interplay between emotions, physical bodily states, thoughts and behaviours shows how much of the complexity in the individual can be accounted for by a set of relatively simple rules. This can be modelled using a system of symbolic representation and manipulation involving intentions and priorities operating in a complicated and changing environment.
The language and models that we use to understand the individual can also be applied to organisations and other structures in society. Through an understanding of what makes for wellbeing in the individual we can also understand what makes for better wellbeing in society generally. The focus, therefore, is on understanding the individual and then using that understanding to inform how we might think about other structures in society and how all these structures relate to each other from the point of view of wellbeing, shifting patterns of control and the implications for social policy.

Cath Lab Recap: Stellarex Balloon; Rapid LV Pacing for TAVR; Gene-Eluting Stent
Interventional cardiology news to note
by Nicole Lou, Reporter, MedPage Today/CRTonline.org August 11, 2016
The Stellarex drug-coated balloon beat percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for primary patency and freedom from clinically-driven target lesion revascularization at 1 year in a randomized trial presented at the Amputation Prevention Symposium. The device is designed for the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries and is expected to be introduced to the U.S. in 2017.
First there were drug-eluting stents -- now gene-eluting stents? A Chinese study showed that the A20 gene delivered by a stent was linked to a reduction in carotid artery restenosis in pigs. This gene-stent system "inhibits neointimal hyperplasia while promoting re-endothelialization," the authors wrote.
During balloon aortic valvuloplasty and transcatheter aortic valve replacement, rapid pacing using the left ventricular guidewire was deemed safe by a small study. This approach allowed operators to avoid complications associated with right ventricular temporary leads.
The AngioSculptX drug-coated percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty scoring balloon catheter got Europe's CE Mark for hemodynamically significant coronary artery stenosis, such as in-stent restenosis.
A biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stent was associated with a 10% rate of combined cardiac death, MI, and target lesion revascularization at 5 years in the international Nobori 2 registry study. Very late stent thrombosis -- occurring between 1 and 5 years -- was observed in 0.6% of patients.
Julio Palmaz just can't catch a break this year. First his company went bankrupt. Now the device industry group in San Antonio, where he invented the balloon-expandable stent at the University of Texas Health Science Center, has dropped his name from its annual award for healthcare innovation.
Dumping shares after news hits of negative results for a drug trial: normal. Doing it when you're the principal investigator of that trial (and before anybody else finds out about it): bad idea. A Connecticut cardiologist was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading, having sold his stock in Regado after receiving notice that the company was suspending his trial on an anticoagulant.

APC faults Bauchi, Sokoto, Adamawa governorship re-run elections
by Rayyan Alhassan
The All Progressives Congress, APC, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, has faulted the credibility of the recent governorship re-run elections in Bauchi, Sokoto, and Adamawa.
Mr Nabena alleged that the supplementary elections in the states fell short of the minimum standard.
He made the observation on Thursday in Abuja while interacting with newsmen, stressing that APC would reclaim its stolen mandates through the election tribunal.
"In Bauchi, Bala Mohammed was declared winner after a controversial re-run election, in Adamawa, Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, won the governorship election.
"And in Sokoto State, the incumbent Aminu Tambuwal was declared winner with a contestable margin, " he said.
Mr Nabena observed that the re-run elections in the states were not conducted in line with laid down rules and regulations of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
He added that following a review of the governorship re-run election in Bauchi, Sokoto and Adamawa states, it was evident that the exercise was characterised by massive rigging, thuggery and vote buying.
"It should be noted that while the APC has over two third of the members of the State House of Assembly in Bauchi and a clear majority in Sokoto State from the governorship election, the re-run was rigged and were conducted without regards to INEC laid down rules and regulations.
"To this end, the outcome of these re-runs will be challenged at the election tribunals to reclaim our mandates given to us by the people in those states," Mr Nabena said.

New ATO view on private use of Utes and vans
By Todd Want on 06/11/17 - Mins to read: 5 minutes
The popularity of utes and vans in Australia is undeniable, but so too is the pursuit of a tax break. For many businesses and individuals, there is a belief that owning a ute rather than a car will achieve significant tax savings.
The argument is that the ute is used for 'business' rather than 'private' purposes. This might sound simple enough, but how do you make sure you don't get the ATO offside? For example, can you legitimately make private trips in the 'business ute' without ruining the tax benefits you are looking to claim? New ATO guidelines shed light on this grey area.
Why is the ATO view needed?
Generally, a fringe benefits tax ("FBT") liability arises where an employer makes a vehicle available for the private use of their employee. Different FBT rules apply for eligible vehicles that are not 'cars', examples being utes and vans. A full FBT exemption can apply for eligible vehicles where the use of that vehicle is limited to work-related travel and other private use that is 'minor, infrequent and irregular'.
While travel between an employee's home and their place of work is generally considered private use, those trips can be treated as work-related travel for the purpose of the FBT exemption. Hence, the crucial part in obtaining the exemption is making sure the other private trips are 'minor, infrequent and irregular'. This is a subjective assessment, so it is difficult to know how many private trips are too many (in the ATO's eyes).
There has previously been limited guidance on this issue. However, the ATO have recently issued draft guidelines on when they will undertake compliance activities (such as reviews or audits) on eligibility for the FBT exemption for utes and vans. These guidelines are discussed in more detail below.
What are the guidelines?
Provided the following criteria are satisfied, the ATO will accept that an employee's private use of their employer's ute or van was minor, infrequent and irregular. The criteria are:
you provide an eligible vehicle to a current employee;
the vehicle is provided to the employee to perform their work duties;
you take all reasonable steps to limit private use of the vehicle and have measures in place to monitor such use;
the vehicle has no non-business accessories;
the vehicle had a GST-inclusive value less than the luxury car tax threshold (currently $65,094) at the time the vehicle was acquired;
the vehicle is not provided as part of a salary packaging arrangement and the employee cannot elect to receive additional remuneration in lieu of the use of the vehicle; and
your employee uses the vehicle to travel:
between their home and their place of work and any diversion adds no more than two kilometres to the ordinary length of that trip;
no more than 750 kilometres in total for each FBT year for multiple journeys taken for a wholly private purpose; and
no single, return journey for a wholly private purpose exceeds 200 kilometres.
Based on the ATO guidelines, an employee who stops off on their way to work to pick up a newspaper may be able to treat that as a mere diversion on their home to work travel (and hence a 'business trip' for the purpose of the FBT exemption). By comparison, travelling with a passenger in your vehicle (for example you drop your kids off at school on your way to work) would be considered a private trip, even if dropping the passenger off involves a detour of less than two kilometres.
The guidelines also consider taking the vehicle to private appointments, such as sport. If an employee drives the work ute to footy training after work and then home after training, the ATO considers both those trips private, and not a mere diversion on the employee's way home from work. Accordingly, such trips, along with all other private trips, would need to total less than 750kms in an FBT year for the exemption to apply.
Are the guidelines a good thing?
At first glance, the guidelines appear useful to many employers as they provide more of a framework to support genuine claims that private use of the vehicle is indeed 'minor, infrequent and irregular'. However, for some employers, these guidelines will be highlight problems such as where they don't have the appropriate policies, records and steps in place to meet the criteria, or it is clear that employees' private use would be well outside the guidelines.
From the ATO perspective, these guidelines provide their case officers with more of a checklist to be able to consider the private use of vehicles. This is likely to lead to an increase in ATO reviews and audits in the FBT space and potentially more disputes with taxpayers.
While the guidelines are generally welcomed, some of the traps which employers could fall into, include:
If you've agreed to include a ute or van as part of an employee's salary package, be careful whether that results in the guidelines not applying, especially if the employee could substitute other forms of remuneration for the vehicle;
Social media might be a fun way to share photos of you out and about on family trips in the ute, but those photos can also be a great way for the ATO to build a case that your vehicle has significant private use (and therefore deny the FBT exemption);
If you provide the vehicle to an employee who has no other vehicles (for example a single person with no other vehicle) then be prepared for a fight with the ATO to show how that employee would live their day-to-day private life whilst racking up less than 750kms of private use each year; and
The guidelines currently only consider FBT (i.e. an employer providing the ute to an employee) and not other arrangements where a ute or van is used (such as a sole trader, or an employee who uses his own ute for work purposes). While it may seem reasonable to assume that the finalised guidelines will apply to these other arrangements, it is not currently the case and hence a more robust system of record keeping still needs to be maintained for those arrangements.
What action should I take?
The guidelines are currently only in draft form, but when finalised they are proposed to apply for the 2018 and later FBT years. Accordingly, we recommend that employers begin to look at their existing policies and approach to private use of utes and vans and see how it fits with the draft guidelines. Once the guidelines are finalised, businesses should ensure their approach is robust and within the ATO guidelines if they wish to have a more relaxed level of record keeping and less likelihood of a fight with the ATO.

El nombre del barrio, así como el de los barrios de Suárez y Granja Suárez, no proviene del apellido Suárez, sino del apellido Swerts, nombre de una familia de origen belga que se asentó en la zona en el siglo XVII para dedicarse a la cría de cabras y vacas. En el siglo XIX fue transformado en Suárez, debido a la dificultad de los hispanohablantes para pronunciar el nombre correcto.

Browse: Home / 2016 / August / 01 / All Natural… Four New Scientific Publications Show No Detectable Sea Level Rise Signal!
Below are highlighted summaries from 4 peer-reviewed scientific papers published within the last few months.
For the convenience of the readers, our basic results are shown in Figure 1. We identified five individual oscillations (upper panel), including a sea-level amplitude of 70 mm (top–bottom [t-b]) of the 18.6-year oscillation caused by the lunar nodal oscillation (LNO) … Together with a general sea-level rise of 1.18 mm/y, the sum of these five sea-level oscillations constitutes a reconstructed or theoretical sea-level curve of the eastern North Sea to the central Baltic Sea (Figure 1, lower panel), which correlates very well with the observed sea-level changes of the 160-year period (1849–2009), from which 26 long tide gauge time series are available from the eastern North Sea to the central Baltic Sea. Such identification of oscillators and general trends over 160 years would be of great importance for distinguishing long-term, natural developments from possible, more recent anthropogenic sea-level changes. However, we found that a possible candidate for such anthropogenic development, i.e. the large sea-level rise after 1970, is completely contained by the found small residuals, long-term oscillators, and general trend. Thus, we found that there is (yet) no observable sea-level effect of anthropogenic global warming in the world's best recorded region.
Building up on the relationship between thermocline and sea level in the tropical region, we show that most of the observed sea level spatial trend pattern in the tropical Pacific can be explained by the wind driven vertical thermocline movement. By performing detection and attribution study on sea level spatial trend patterns in the tropical Pacific and attempting to eliminate signal corresponding to the main internal climate mode, we further show that the remaining residual sea level trend pattern does not correspond to externally forced anthropogenic sea level signal. In addition, we also suggest that satellite altimetry measurement may not still be accurate enough to detect the anthropogenic signal in the 20-year tropical Pacific sea level trends.
The tropical Pacific has featured some remarkable trends during the recent decades such as an unprecedented strengthening of the Trade Winds, a strong cooling of sea surface temperatures (SST) in the eastern and central part, thereby slowing global warming and strengthening the zonal SST gradient, and highly asymmetric sea level trends with an accelerated rise relative to the global average in the western and a drop in the eastern part. These trends have been linked to an anomalously strong Pacific Walker Circulation, the major zonal atmospheric overturning cell in the tropical Pacific sector, but the origin of the strengthening is controversial. Here we address the question as to whether the recent decadal trends in the tropical Pacific atmosphere-ocean system are within the range of internal variability, as simulated in long unforced integrations of global climate models. We show that the recent trends are still within the range of long-term internal decadal variability.
The observed 20th century sea level rise represents one of the major consequences of anthropogenic climate change. However, superimposed on any anthropogenic trend there are also considerable decadal to centennial signals linked to intrinsic natural variability in the climate system. … Gravitational effects and ocean dynamics further lead to regionally varying imprints of low frequency variability. In the Arctic, for instance, the causal uncertainties are even up to 8 times larger than previously thought. This result is consistent with recent findings that beside the anthropogenic signature, a non-negligible fraction of the observed 20th century sea level rise still represents a response to pre-industrial natural climate variations such as the Little Ice Age.
If you are able, make plans to attend the London Climate Conference, September 8th and 9th, https://geoethic.com/london-conference-2016/ . Sea-Level rise, or lack thereof, will be featured by a number of presenters!
Sounds like it's gonna be a good one! Hopefully they will post videos of the presentations. Looking forward to that. Thanks.
Oh no all those coral islands are safe?
Well they would be if not so many people try living on them, emptying their detritus and toilets waste all around them, swimming around the living coral poisoning them with sunscreen.
The indigenous people also have the destructive habit of using coral beach sand for concrete. This removes the natural barrier to wave action, thus causing erosion of the supralittoral. (It also makes rotten concrete that doesn't last long).
And drawing water from subterranean fresh water sources that lie under the islands is not a good idea either!
But corals are resilient animals. There is evidence that they can keep up with erosion, so the reefs should be OK.

Northwestern to create socially responsible investment committee
Madeline Fox, Campus Editor
Northwestern will create a committee on socially responsible investment to advise NU's president and chief investment officer on issues related to the University's investment activities.
The committee will include alumni, students, faculty and staff, University President Morton Schapiro and Chief Investment Officer Will McLean announced Tuesday in an email to students involved in divestment issues and members of Associated Student Government.
Schapiro, who will co-chair the committee with McLean, noted many of NU's peer institutions have created socially responsible investment committees — including Williams College, where he served as president before coming to NU.
"I've always supported (the creation of a committee)," Schapiro told The Daily on Tuesday. "It's a great learning experience for us and it's a great way for the student voice to be heard."
Three student groups at NU are currently pushing for divestment. Northwestern Divest is pushing for divestment from companies it says are responsible for human rights violations in Palestine and Unshackle NU, which formed in January, is asking for divestment from private prisons and companies it says contribute to the prison industrial complex. Fossil Free NU's campaign centers on divestment from coal and other fossil fuels. All three have advocated for the formation of a socially responsible investment committee.
The administration's announcement, though, was met with negative reactions from divestment group members.
Christina Cilento, a member of Fossil Free NU who received the email, said she was "blindsided" by the announcement, about which she said she has reservations.
"What we're concerned about most, in terms of involvement, is our three divestment campaigns being involved in the process moving forward," the SESP junior said. "Our main concern is that they're going to implement the socially responsible investment committee without really involving any of us."
Cilento said she was also disappointed by the wording of the email, which discussed in multiple paragraphs the purpose of the university's endowment and the importance of maintaining a "diversified portfolio of investments" before announcing the plan to create a socially responsible investment committee.
Weinberg junior Marcel Hanna, a member of NU Divest and Unshackle NU, said no members of either group received an email from administrators regarding the planned creation of the committee, though another student later forwarded it to him.
University spokesman Al Cubbage said McLean sent the email to students the investment office had been dealing with directly on issues of divestment, while Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, sent it to ASG leaders, he said. Cubbage said administrators had hoped students would "share the good news."
Though Hanna said Unshackle NU has not had the opportunity to meet with members of the investment office, he added NU Divest had its first meeting with McLean last spring. He and Cilento were disappointed more students involved in divestment campaigns did not receive the email from administrators.
McLean was not available to comment.
Hanna said NU Divest led the push for a socially responsible investment committee in order to prevent future socially irresponsible investments and to provide an easier path for future student divestment movements. Hanna said he was unhappy with the committee as proposed, calling it a quick-fix solution.
"The university threw us a bone to have us stop asking for this, but we can see this is not going to amount to any tangible change," he said. "The only thing this committee is doing is giving the university the ability to say they are working toward diversity and social responsibility, but they're not."
This story was updated March 10 at 2:45 p.m. with quotes from Al Cubbage, Marcel Hanna and Christina Cilento.

Everyone else follows the path.We're DifferentWE BLAZE THE TRAIL.
It's sort of a Cinderella story. So much so, that our CEO Mary O'Donnell initially wrote a fairytale instead of a business plan. And guess what, it came true!
Terry Wright opened the door for Westcor in 1993. At that time, Terry was an agent looking for an underwriter who understood the needs of agents; unable to find one, he started his own company. In 2004, Mary O'Donnell took the torch and never stopped reaching for the stars. Terry and Mary were kindred spirits, and they had a shared vision to build a business and create a culture centered around people, friendships, and trust.
Mary and Susie Pelham, employee number two, started out with borrowed furniture and office space, but their ambition and dedication were all their own. They began hiring one good person at a time and the company gradually started to gain momentum and assets of its own. Mary's stellar reputation and leadership abilities were vital to the early success of Westcor. She's as genuine as they come and as the only female CEO of a national underwriter, Mary turned Westcor into the #1 independent underwriter in the nation.
As the nation's largest independent underwriter, everything we do is designed to support independent agents across the country, from small towns to big cities, we believe in the power of community and creating lasting relationships both locally and nationally.
From day one, Westcor has been committed to competing for our agents, not against them, and that's just one of the many differences that separate us from our competitors. We will always be an independent, proud, passionate, and purpose-driven company working towards a common goal. Our story continues to be one that inspires, motivates, and makes our team members feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves.

Building stronger immunity to cyber threats is a collective responsibility
Cyber Security Privacy
ByChris Fisher
Prevention is better than cure – an adage that remains relevant today as Australia's healthcare industry continues to struggle with delivering herd immunity against cyber risk.
When the ICT systems of Melbourne's Eastern Health were attacked by hackers last month, the organisation was quick to reassure and confirm that patients were not at risk. However, the incident highlighted major security vulnerabilities, resulting in significant disruption to its hospital network, including the cancellation of elective surgeries, and not to mention unnerving staff and vulnerable patients.
Protecting digital-health progress
In today's digitally driven environment, applying smart technologies is crucial in improving operational efficiencies that deliver better patient outcomes. The COVID-19 stress-test experienced in 2020 accelerated investments in new infrastructure and software solutions to ensure healthcare practitioners and patients could stay connected. This included the launch of specialist cloud-based platforms such as Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, providing more efficient booking and triage processes, enabling tele-health consultations and digital follow-up.
The speed of digital adoption seen in healthcare was experienced across most sectors, facilitated by the adoption of hybrid cloud and the need for collaboration tools such as Microsoft Office 365 applications. Unfortunately, the speed and scale of cloud adoption has also presented transitional gaps – and opportunities for adversaries to exploit.
A new global study by Vectra AI has revealed that 71% of Microsoft Office 365 deployments suffered an average of seven malicious account takeovers in the 12 months to February 2021. A user account takeover in Office 365 is the most effective way for an attacker to move laterally inside an organisation's network. Cybercriminals rarely act alone – from sharing infrastructure to being part of entire syndicates dedicated to sabotage, forcing organisations to constantly review and renew their security policies.
With expanded use of Microsoft Office 365 during COVID-19, the main concern of security professionals is now the risk of data being compromised and the ability for hackers to hide their tracks by using legitimate Microsoft tools.
Constantly evolving threats require an around-the-clock effort and highly specialised skills to bolster cybersecurity, particularly within a hybrid cloud environment. Typically, most healthcare organisations have lean IT teams and lack the cybersecurity expertise required to pre-empt and mitigate sophisticated threats, placing enormous strain on what is potentially an already limited resource.
Our survey found that just one in three security professionals believe they could identify and stop an account takeover attack immediately; the majority expect to take days or even weeks to intercept such a breach.
I've outlined some best-practice tips to think about when strengthening your organisation's immunity to internal and external threats:
It's not enough to just invest in the tools; it is also important to build knowledge and establish stringent governance frameworks. That's where vendors with true cybersecurity expertise drive value, helping organisations to not only draw upon expertise and intelligent, AI-driven detection tools but to also gain deep visibility into security and compliance gaps.
It is imperative that organisations truly understand their new enterprise network. We have seen perimeters of the network vanish during 2020 as organisations have shifted to the cloud; the modern enterprise network is now Datacentre, IaaS, SaaS and PaaS. It is vital that the enterprise has visibility into all these networks and be able to track attackers as they pivot through these environments. We must build detection and response capabilities that can shine a light into all these environments and track attacker behaviour as they attempt to move laterally through them.
It is critical to not only identify attackers as they pivot through the modern network, but also to have the ability to respond rapidly and in a consistent way across all network stacks, be that IaaS, SaaS, PaaS or Datacentre. The only way to achieve this is via prioritisation of incidents leveraging AI and automation. This will bolster the limited capacity of the security operations centre, giving it the best chance to drive down metrics such as mean time to remediation, therefore reducing the impacts of attackers and reducing the risk of a widespread breach.
Building a more secure future for healthcare providers
Combatting cybercrime is a priority not only for the healthcare sector but has rapidly become a matter of national interest and security. With global rollouts of COVID-19 vaccines in progress, and as new cyber threats continue to expose network infrastructure vulnerabilities, never has this defence been more crucial.
With a scarcity of talent and a rapidly evolving threat landscape, many industries including the healthcare sector struggle with closing the gap between attacker and responder. Entities need to focus on their networks and maintain good cyber hygiene to reduce the noise coming into security operation centres.
Unless security investments are made into response capabilities, the gap between attacker and responder will continue to grow.
