Sabin Metal Corporation: How Business Aviation Refines Sabin's Quality of Life
Mark Patiky
East Hampton, New York, located on the southern tip of Long Island, is a two- to three-hour drive to the New York-area airports. That didn't deter Andrew Sabin, chairman of Sabin Metal Corporation, the largest privately owned precious-metal refiner and recycler in the U.S., from establishing the head office of his 70-year old company in this small village. "I came out here as a quality of life decision," says Sabin.
With two business aviation airports close by, Sabin can run his global business from this rural location and remain within easy reach of plants far away from any airline routes in the northern regions of North Dakota, upper New York State and a remote part of Ontario, Canada. "Business aircraft have been vital to our growth," he says. "The biggest advantage for me is time. I go to oil refineries, chemical plants and customers across the nation that are in places with little or no commercial service. Unless you have your own plane, you're going to lose two days getting there."
For the past 30 years, Sabin has relied on business aircraft to gain unparalleled easy access to his clients, suppliers and company facilities. He chartered at first, then acquired fractional shares in two Flight Options jets 15 years ago and has never looked back. Now he has an additional share in a PlaneSense turboprop Pilatus, which can access the shortest runways and unprepared landing strips.
"The biggest advantage for me is time. I go to oil refineries, chemical plants and customers that are in places with little or no commercial service. Unless you have your own plane, you're going to lose two days getting there."
The benefits of business aviation
Having access to a private plane provides the freedom to expand his business and also further his environmental interest. Sabin, who is dedicated to the preservation of endangered species, founded the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton, New York. He is also an active supporter of the Nature Conservancy, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Wildlife Rescue Center of the Hamptons and the Worldwide Fund for Nature among many other conservation groups.
As a staunch conservationist, he has taken the lead to remove the tarnish from an industry not exactly known for its earth-friendly reputation. His company plants, which maintain the industry's most stringent environmental management policies, are models for environmental and regulatory compliance, and they showcase his deep environmental concerns.
On a recent trip, Sabin departed from East Hampton's relatively short runway in an Embraer Phenom 300 and arrived at his Scottsville, New York plant, 10 miles from Greater Rochester International airport, in just over an hour. In the afternoon, he visited a nature conservation project in Glens Falls, New York and landed back in East Hampton for dinner. "Because the jet is always available, it's not only easy, it's a pleasure," he says.
Aboard a Bombardier Challenger 300, the nonstop trip to Williston, North Dakota takes just over three hours, and he touches down minutes from his plant. That's less time than it would take to reach an airline gate and board a commercial flight. "The amount of time this saves is unbelievable," he reports. "I bring some of my managers or customers with me. I can spend four or five hours at the plant and come back the same day. It is just so convenient. I could never do this commercially. It's just impossible. It has made my business much more efficient, and because it's easy to get there, I can visit more places much more often." With high-speed Internet available during the flight, he adds, "I can do all my emails, I have all the news, I keep up with the markets, the price of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, so I can do all my work in the air."

Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet drops on 23 February, Collector's Edition revealed
Ade Putra
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet releases simultaneously for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 23 February 2018, announced Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia. Accompanying the news are details on the physical Collector's Edition and additional information about the game.
Fatal Bullet will be available digitally and as two physical editions: Standard and Collector's. The latter comes with Kirito and Sinon figurines dressed in costumes from the game, the original soundtrack, a cloth map, and an exclusive artbook.
Digital pre-orders and physical Day One editions come with a code that unlocks SAO Asuna and SAO Kirito costumes, as well as the Silver Gun weapon.
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet, developed by Dimps Corporation, is the latest game adaptation of the popular 'Sword Art Online' anime and light novel series. It takes on a fresh approach by adding third-person shooter mechanics to the typical Action RPG fare, while also relinquishing the main protagonist's role to the player's custom character. There's also an UFG Weapon, which is essentially a grappling hook to reach higher areas of the map, find better shooting positions, get closer to enemies, or directly hit flying opponents.
There's an original story set in the 'Gun Gale Online' world from Season II, supervised by franchise creator Reki Kawahara. Major characters such as Asuna, Leafa, Silica, and Lisbeth will be making appearances, together with new announcements Yuuki, Strea, LLenn, and Pitohui.
While it can be tackled solo, players may choose to have three other AI party members. They cannot be directly controlled, but players can set specific actions and behaviors to better suit play styles. During the game, players may trigger special party events that sheds more light on these characters. Interestingly, there's also an offline bounty feature where NPCs, who may appear in a group of four, come to challenge the player.
In addition to the story, the game "includes full multiplayer cooperative and competitive modes, allowing two to eight players to work together and compete against online adversaries."
In related news, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization Deluxe Edition is now available on PC via Steam. Here's our PlayStation 4 review for it.

Today I finally get to go back to Thailand after 10 years! I am so excited to see my family and be able to not be freezing cold every day. Thailand is such a beautiful cultural place and I am so thankful I have family over there so I get the opportunity to go to such an amazing place. I can't wait to get to the beach either! Its going to be so great and don't worry I will keep you guys updated on instagram every day I'm there! Time for a very very long plane ride… but catch me in business class!


Es ist wirklich wahr: Je hoher ihr Vitamin D3-Spiegel, desto niedriger ist Ihr Risiko an Diabetes zu erkranken! Wenn nun ein weiterer Risikofaktor wie das Ubergewicht dazukommt, steigt die Gefahr, erst an Insulin-Resistenz und dann Diabetes zu erkranken, dramatisch an. Kann die zusatzliche Einnahme von Vitamin D, bei einer Person mit Pradiabetes, ein ausbrechen von Typ 2 Diabetes verhindern?
Die auf mehrere Jahre angelegte Vitamin D und Typ 2 Diabetes (D2d) Studie wird 2.500 Menschen einbinden. Laut Myrlene Staten, M.D, wird diese Studie definitiv Auskunft daruber geben ob Vitamin D das Risiko mindert an Typ 2 Diabetes zu erkranken. Diese Studie uberpruft, ob die tagliche Einnahme von 4.000 internationalen Einheiten (iu) Vitamin D, mehr als die typische Dosis bei Erwachsenen von 600–800 Einheiten taglich, Menschen mit Pradiabetes dabei hilft, kein Typ 2 zu bekommen.
Diese Studie wird ebenso uberprufen, ob Geschlecht, Alter, oder Hautfarbe Auswirkungen auf das Diabetes Risiko nach Einnahme von Vitamin D haben. 4) Phillip, John: Low vitamin D in children behind current explosion of new diabetes cases.

Over time, CAD can weaken the heart muscle and lead to heart failure and arrhythmias (ah-RITH-me-ahs).
With the continued rise of artery disease anyone with a functioning brain should be asking WHY because the rise in artery disease would definitely suggest that mainstream medicine strategies simply aren't working very well. There are quite a few risk factors that come into play in regards to coronary heart disease.
The main or most common symptoms of coronary artery disease are angina (chest pain) and shortness of breath. Coronary artery disease treatment of course depends upon who your doctor is and what he or she thinks is the best approach.
Lower Blood Pressure Grape seed extract lowers blood pressure and this is great news for those who wish to lower moderately high blood pressure without toxic heart drugs. You may already be familiar with how dangerous appendix pain (brought on by appendicitis) can be. The common idea about the appendix is that it has no function, and is an organ our species has yet to lose via the evolutionary process. The appendix houses a lot of healthy gut bacteria, and a diverse range of bacteria, making its bacterial demographic unique in comparison to the rest of the body. As we are serious about our health and well-being, we want to take care of the appendix and help our bodies keep a healthy balance of healthy bacteria.
If we experience pain in the "naval or upper abdomen that becomes sharper as it moves to the lower right abdomen" or fever and abdominal swelling, we need to act quickly! A diet that supports the balance of good bacteria in the gut and surrounding areas is life-changing. Over the past year, my friend Dave at PaleoHacks has been working on a secret cookbook with world-renowned Le Cordon Bleu chef Peter Servold. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome is a combination of the presence of a congenital accessory pathway and episodes of tachyarrhythmia.
Pre-excitation refers to early activation of the ventricles due to impulses bypassing the AV node via an accessory pathway. In WPW the accessory pathway is often referred to as the Bundle of Kent, or atrioventricular bypass tract.
An accessory pathway can conduct impulses either anterograde, towards the ventricle, retrograde, away from the ventricle, or in both directions. The majority of pathways allow conduction in both directions, with retrograde only conduction occurring in 15% of cases, and antegrade only conduction rarely seen. The direction of conduction affects the appearance of the ECG in sinus rhythm and during tachyarrhythmias. Tachyarrythmia can be facilitated by the formation of a reentry circuit involving the accessory pathway, termed atrioventricular reentry tachycardias (AVRT).
The presence of a pre-excitation pathway results in a number of changes to the ECG in sinus rhythm. In patients with retrograde-only accessory conduction all antegrade conduction occurs via the AV node, thus no features of WPW are seen on the ECG in sinus rhythm (as no pre-excitation occurs). A reentry circuit is formed by the normal conduction system and the accessory pathway resulting in circus movement.
During tachyarrythmias the features of pre-excitation are lost as the accessory pathway forms part of the reentry circuit. AVRT are further divided in to orthodromic or antidromic conduction based on direction of reentry conduction and ECG morphology. In orthodromic AVRT antegrade conduction occurs via the AV node with retrograde conduction occurring via the accessory pathway. In patients who are haemodynamically stable vagal manoeuvres may be successful, followed by adenosine or calcium-channel blockers, and DC cardioversion may be considered if non-repsonsive to medical therapy. AVRT with antidromic conduction results in a wide complex tachycardia which may be mistaken for Ventricular Tachycardia.
The accessory pathway allows for rapid conduction directly to the ventricles bypassing the AV node. Atrial Flutter results in the same features as AF in WPW except the rhythm is regular and may be mistaken for VT. Medical treatment options in a stable patient include procainamide or ibutilide, although DC cardioversion may be preferred.
Another example of the Type A WPW pattern with dominant R wave in V1 and right precordial T-wave inversions simulating RVH. Tall R waves and inverted T waves in the inferior leads and V4-6 mimic the appearance of left ventricular hypertrophy — again, this is due to WPW and does not indicate underlying LVH.
The QRS complexes do not appear particularly broad — however, there is definite slurring of the upstroke of each R wave, most obvious in leads II, III, aVF and V4 (= delta waves). For more information on interpretation of the paediatric ECG, check out our Guide to Paediatric ECG Interpretation. It is difficult to categorise this ECG as type A or B given that a dominant R wave in V1 is normal for the child's age. The QRS complexes are narrow because impulses are being transmitted in an orthodromic direction (A -> V) via the AV node. WPW (type A) is now evident on the baseline ECG; this confirms that the initial rhythm was orthodromic AVRT.
Narrow complex tachycardia at 180 bpm with no discernible P waves – this is another example of orthodromic AVRT. There is a regular, broad complex tachycardia at ~280 bpm; this would be very difficult to distinguish from VT.
This was the presenting ECG of the 5-year old boy from Example 5 (see above for his baseline ECG); the antidromic AVRT resolved with vagal manoeuvres.
Another example of broad complex tachycardia due to antidromic AVRT in a 15-year old boy with WPW.
Rapid, irregular, broad complex tachycardia (overall rate ~ 200 bpm) with a LBBB morphology (dominant S wave in V1). However, the morphology is not typical of LBBB, the rate is too rapid (up to 300 bpm in places, i.e.
Another example of AF with WPW resulting in a very rapid (up to 300 bpm in places), irregular broad-complex tachycardia with varying QRS width. There are two narrow complexes (in V1-3), where the atrial impulses are presumably conducted via the AV node instead of via the AP. This rhythm is extremely difficult to differentiate from polymorphic VT; however it does not demonstrate the twisting morphology characteristic of torsades de pointes.
Some of the impulses are transmitted via the AP (= pre-excited beats), producing characteristic delta waves. Another example of AF with WPW with intermittent pre-excitation — characteristic delta waves are best seen in V2. In the attached video whiteboard lecture (at around 8:00 mark) he states that it is ok to use AV nodal blocking agents for AVRT + WPW regardless of direction (orthodromic vs antidromic).
Would it be possible to have the orthodromic bypass tract reinsert just distal to the AV Node? Jackie Joyner-Kersee (1963—) Olympic track medalist—Jackie Joyner-Kersee's breathing difficulties were first diagnosed as bronchitis, then mononucleosis; her mother used to tell her to just go sit in a corner and calm down when she couldn't breathe. Dies haben Forscher der Tufts University herausgefunden, die uber 2000 Personen mit hohem Blutzucker untersucht haben. Die Extra-Einnahme von Vitamin D kann wahrscheinlich die Insulin Ausscheidung wie auch die Insulin Sensitivitat verbessern.
So hat die Universitat von Massey in Neuseeland eine Studie mit 81 insulinresistenten Frauen durchgefuhrt. Ziel ist es, klare Informationen uber die Auswirkung von Vitamin D Nahrungserganzung bei Erwachsenen mit Pradiabetes zu bekommen.
Kann Vitamin D, speziell Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), Typ 2 Diabetes bei Erwachsenen ab 30 Jahren mit Pradiabetes, verhindern oder verzogern? Basierend auf fruheren Studien vermuten die Wissenschaftler eine Minderung des Diabetes Risikos um 25%.

Both of which will support, guide, and inspire you toward the best possible health outcomes for you and your family. When plaque builds up in the arteries, the condition is called Atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). This blockage, most often caused by a clot or plaque rupture, prevents oxygen-rich blood from reaching that area of heart muscle and causes it to die. Heart failure is a condition in which your heart can't pump enough blood throughout your body. Some like aging and genetics are without solutions but the majority can be eliminated with lifestyle changes. A family history of heart disease is associated with a higher risk of coronary artery disease, especially if a close relative developed heart disease at an early age.
High blood levels of LDL cholesterol can increase the risk of atherosclerosis and plaque formations. Unrelieved stress may damage arteries as well as worsen other risk factors for coronary artery disease. This disorder causes you to repeatedly stop and start breathing while you're sleeping.
Homocysteine is an amino acid your body uses to make protein and to build and maintain tissue.
This substance forms when a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle attaches to a specific protein. Both angina and shortness of breath usually occur during or right after exercise however, your first symptom could be a heart attack. First line of defense is usually life style changes however lifestyle changes could also be coupled with drug therapy. However, research keys into special features of the appendix, which suggests that it does play a fundamental role in our body. This is a common symptom of appendicitis, a common yet life-threatening swelling and potential rupture of the appendix. However, more information on the appendix shows that a bacterial imbalance can cause inflammation in the appendix, leading to this condition. For example, some women become more susceptible to reproductive disorders such as PCOS due to gaining too much weight.
My understanding was that AV nodal blocking agents were contraindicated in WPW + AVRT with antidromic conduction because it can lead to unopposed accessory pathway conduction that can degrade into VFib. Our Team, headed by Mike Cadogan & Chris Nickson, consists (mostly) of emergency physicians and intensivists based in Australia and New Zealand. Even after she was correctly diagnosed as a freshman at UCLA she didn't take the disease seriously, refusing to take her medicine in part because she thought of asthma as a weakness that people who ran hard and jumped high couldn't possibly have. Kann die Einnahme von Vitamin D den Ausbruch von Diabetes Typ 2 verzogern oder auch verhindern?
Menschen mit Pradiabetes besitzen einen Blutzuckerspiegel der hoher als normal ist, jedoch nicht hoch genug um es Diabetes zu nennen. Coronary artery disease is a condition in which plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when there is NOT enough oxygen-rich blood flowing to an area of your heart muscle. Without quick treatment, a heart attack can lead to serious heart damage that ends up causing more complications such as ventricular tachycardia (V-tach or VT), heart failure and even death. Your risk is highest if your father or a brother was diagnosed with heart disease before age 55, or your mother or a sister developed it before age 65. Carbon monoxide can damage their inner lining, making them more susceptible to atherosclerosis. When grouped together, certain risk factors put you at an ever greater risk of coronary artery disease. Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system, possibly leading to coronary artery disease. But too much may increase clumping of platelets, the type of blood cell largely responsible for clotting. Sometimes doctors skip the lifestyle changes and drugs and go straight to the surgical procedures in advanced cases where the other therapies look to be useless. It is surprising to think that an organ without any purpose can become so life threatening.
The presence of healthy bacteria in the appendix, as well as the setup of tissue in the appendix, show that it plays a key role in our digestive and immune systems. Healthy bacteria in the gut help out in breaking down food and support the body in absorbing nutrients. Having a well working and efficient system of healthy bacteria in our bodies is so important to our bodies. Organic yoghurt (my favourite is plain organic greek yoghurt) and kefir (you can have coconut milk kefir if you don't like dairy) are high in probiotics.
Obesity negatively effects the diversity in the bacteria in our bodies, which negatively effects the balance of good bacteria in our bodies, and harms our appendix. There is a complex yet interconnected web that works in our bodies every day with the aim to help us live our lives. Eine Gruppe musste 4000 IE an Vitamin D taglich zu sich nehmen, die andere Gruppe bekam einen Placebo. Women who smoke at least 20 cigarettes a day have a six times greater risk than do women who've never smoked. For example, metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that includes elevated blood pressure, high triglycerides, elevated insulin levels and excess body fat around the waist, increases the risk of coronary artery disease. High levels of lipoprotein (a) may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease and heart attack. Then there are those who think outside the box and learn how to not only prevent coronary artery disease but how to reverse it, get rid of it! However, new research shows that its presence isn't without purpose; its a key player in digestive and immune health, which effects the whole body!
This system of bacteria influences our body with invisible hands, affecting our ability to lose weight, manage inflammation and deal with emotional factors, amongst other things.
The goal is to have a healthy weight as per our unique bodies, and an effective way to measure that is through measuring our BMI.
Nach 6 Monaten zeigte die Vitamin D-Gruppe deutlich weniger Insulinresistenz bei besserer Insulin-Sensitivitat als die Placebo-Gruppe. The pain also may occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back (between the shoulder blades). Getting good amounts of soluble fibre is also very helpful, as it feeds the good bacteria in our colones.

Our very first stop and one of my absolute favorites from all our winter break destinations! I'm not quite sure what it is about Prague I love so much. It helps that it has a beautiful bridge, as somewhere along the line I've developed an enthused appreciation for beautiful bridges. Truly, Prague can be done in a day. But it's precisely this reason why one should stay longer. There's something marvelous about visiting a new destination and not having to rush around, cramming too many sights into not enough time. That being said, I think we were lucky to be visiting Prague right before Christmas. The gorgeous Christmas Markets gave us something to do whenever we were through sight seeing for the day. Not to mention, some place festive to eat and drink for cheap!
First sighting of the big Christmas Market in Old Town Square!
A few days later, we left Prague for Vienna. While my travel companions thoroughly enjoyed the art Vienna had to offer, I was more about the Christmas Markets. Seriously, traveling near Christmastime isn't so terrible with all the fabulous markets to explore! However, while Prague was an all-around great place to visit this frigid time of year, Vienna may be better left to the sun. We missed out on a lot of would-be-beautiful places because of the dead and withering flora. Without a doubt, my favorite experience in Vienna was our impromptu attendance of Rossini's opera, La Cenerentola (Cinderella)! We stood in line for a couple hours and scored standing seats for a performance the same night. A spontaneous activity I won't soon forget.
We arrived in Budapest on Christmas morning and perhaps that was our mistake. Of all the places we visited over winter break, I think Budapest was my least favorite. It was still plenty amazing, and had the most gorgeous architecture! However, the straight up rudeness we faced upon arrival left a bad taste. I'll try to give people the benefit of doubt, because no one wants to work on Christmas, right? It was also sad because much of the bigger Christmas markets were being taken down the day we arrived. Still, I can't deny the beauty of many of the sights in Budapest. Not to mention, one of the girls in our travel group knew someone who is from Budapest and happened to be home for the holidays – so we got a tour by a native one day! She was much nicer than the people we met our first day.
FIsherman's Bastion by day – best castle I have seen yet!
Stay tuned for Winter Break Part 2 – Rome, Florence and Venice!
Oh the Places I'll Go?
I am back from Italy, my second trip to Europe this year. It was as amazing as I had imagined and I can't wait to go back someday to explore the North. More specific updates about the trip will follow, but for now I have the future on my mind.
Europe has always had a certain pull on me. I'm not sure where it stems from but it's there, and with each trip to the land of history and culture that pull intensifies. Perhaps this is because it's the only place I've ever really visited; or maybe the pull is the reason why it's the only place I've visited. Who knows.
All I know is that I am not yet done with Europe. I have not yet quenched my thirst for the European culture, history and lifestyle. I want to move to Europe.
And I think I know just how to do it. Languagecorps. This program would allow me to teach English abroad. For a while I really wanted to teach English in Italy, but since Spain is also calling my name I was hoping to get Italy out of my system on this trip. It didn't happen that way. I love Italy. It's absolutely beautiful. The sights, the language, the food, the people ;).
Still, I feel if I were to go back to Europe to teach I might like to end up in Spain. I am familiar with the language and it's a place I haven't yet been. I also figure that once I'm in Europe, it will be much easier for me to take trips to other parts of Europe.
At the time I found that offensive. It made me feel stubborn and lazy. But as the years have passed I've realized I'm also the kind of person who does do what she does want! If I want something badly enough, then I can't just stomp it out of myself. And why should I?
Still, as I look toward the future there are several factors weighing on my mind. Little dilemmas. And in hopes that someone out there will have some words of wisdom or encouragement to offer, I will share them here.
I want to go to Europe. To Spain. This is not something I know in my mind, as much as I feel it in my heart. I have always been one to follow my heart over my head. Though it has the potential to get me into trouble and to feel pain, it also is when I feel most 'right' and happy and free. It's worth it.
But now I am a grownup with grownup things to consider.
I don't care about money. Or rather, I don't want to care about money. I don't care about labels or big houses or fancy cars or smartphones. I care about money really only to the extent that I need it. But I need travel, and I need experiences that shock me and make me feel alive and these, well these cost money. And so does education.
What am I getting at here? Well, if I go to Spain for a year, I will make enough of 'the root of all evil' to live comfortably. I really won't be able to save much.
My other option? Teach in Asia. Somewhere like China or Thailand where the demand for native English speaking teachers is so great, they would pay for accommodations and I'd be able to save a few hundred smackaroos monthly (or so the site says).
Now, obviously my head says Asia but when it does my heart protests like mad. Nothing against Asia. I'd love to go someday. But my heart, silly thing that does not know reason, craves Spain.
The thought of teaching abroad for a year, not in the developing world but in Europe, makes me feel selfish. I try to justify it by holding on to the thought that I know I want to dedicate my life to helping those less fortunate, and that this makes it ok for me to take a year to myself to be selfish. But really when you're talking about people in need there is not even a moment to spare, let alone a year.
Of course I do believe you need to be a happy, whole and stable person yourself before you can help others with anything. Still, I wonder if I should try to squash this desire to live in Spain and replace it with one to live in Africa. Or to continue teaching at my current placement school in Houston. Or to start grad school right away and get that Masters in Saving the World.
That brings me to feeling lost. I am 23 going on 24. I have been out of school for a year. I have one more year of my official commitment to Teach For America and after that I want to wander around Europe for a year, which might even be ok except even after that I have no idea what I want to do with my life.
My dad always says to be careful and not become 'jack of all trades, master of none.' Well, I feel like a wanderer who will become just that. I suppose it's not all bad, but sometimes I really envy the people who know exactly what they want and how they're going to get it. The people who are running headfirst after what they want. Sometimes, I really want that. It's a terrible thing, this lost feeling.
Anyway, these are the thoughts that have been plaguing my mind for quite some time now and are in overdrive since my return from Italy. I know I would be much happier just living in the present. I am about to start my second year of teaching, no longer scared and confused. I love my new place in a great neighborhood. I have great friends and support systems. I have access to taco trucks, and bachata in my car. I get to have dreams of travelling the world, with the knowledge that they can be my reality.
But the future is always coming up next and that can be enough to drive me mad.

«Тот, кто чита́ет мы́сли (Ментали́ст)» — российско-украинский детективный телесериал 2018 года, снятый режиссёром Алексеем Мурадовым. Является адаптацией популярного американского телесериала «Менталист» (2008—2015).

Премьерный показ сериала на Украине под названием «Менталист» прошёл с 5 по 29 марта 2018 года на телеканале «ICTV», а в России — под названием «Тот, кто читает мысли (Менталист)» тремя неделями позднее, с 26 марта по 5 апреля, на «Первом канале».

Главную роль в сериале-ремейке исполнил израильский актёр Ехезкель Лазаров (озвучил Кирилл Кяро).

Сюжет
Харизматичный 42-летний Даниил Романов (Ехезкель Лазаров) работает консультантом особого следственного отдела по расследованию убийств при министерстве юстиции. Он — превосходный менталист, гипнотизёр, физиономист, психолог-практик и виртуозный манипулятор, когда-то выдававший себя за экстрасенса и ясновидящего, способного читать чужие мысли.

За несколько лет до начала описываемых событий жизнь Даниила меняется в одночасье. Причиной перемен становится страшная трагедия, произошедшая в его семье, когда в отместку за унизительную характеристику, которую он в эфире популярного телешоу опрометчиво дал опасному маньяку по прозвищу «Демон», тот жестоко убил его жену Еву и маленькую дочь Нату. Даниил неожиданно оставляет успешную карьеру на телевидении, отказавшись от славы и денег, и направляет свои способности на помощь правосудию. Основной целью его сотрудничества с органами становится жажда мести, желание поймать и уничтожить своего личного врага — серийного убийцу «Демона».

В своей новой работе в следственных органах Романов не боится выходить за рамки традиционных практик расследования, нередко ведёт себя вызывающе с подозреваемыми, прибегает к манипуляциям и гипнозу. Главное его оружие — превосходное знание человеческих слабостей.

Непосредственный начальник Даниила, исполнительная и бескомпромиссная Екатерина Филатова (Анастасия Микульчина), наоборот, привыкла во всём придерживаться «буквы закона». Однако, со временем она понимает, что нестандартные методы расследования менталиста приносят необходимые результаты. Поэтому, зачастую, ей приходится отступать от правил и вступаться за своего непредсказуемого подчинённого перед начальством, ставя под удар свою собственную карьеру.

Несмотря на диаметрально противоположные взгляды на работу, между главными героями возникает обоюдная симпатия, но прошлое по-прежнему не отпускает Даниила.

Жильцы элитного загородного посёлка потрясены убийством фаворитки местного светского общества Ларисы Михеевой. Её отравили во время вечеринки, подмешав цианистый калий в вино. Лариса была успешной бизнесвумен — её авторская бижутерия пользовалась спросом, и порой доходы Михеевой перебивали доходы её супруга. Романов не подозревает мужа убитой, но уверен в том, что преступник находится среди обитателей посёлка.

В последний момент Филатовой удаётся оттащить Романова от машины, однако в результате взрыва Даниил теряет зрение. Погибшим оказывается Евгений Комаровский.

Серия № 12 «Мистическая смерть»
В лесу у посёлка местные мальчишки находят тело подростка Ильи Власова — лучшего футболиста молодёжной команды. Вокруг убитого — свечи и пентаграммы, что указывает на ритуальный характер преступления. После разговора с родителями Ильи, следствие обращает внимание на местную «ведьму» Луну — молодую девушку, увлекающуюся оккультизмом. У Луны и Ильи были личные счёты — он якобы украл и убил её сову. Вторым подозреваемым оказывается суровый тренер Власова — Валерий Микулин: накануне убийства между Ильёй и Микулиным произошёл серьёзный конфликт.

Серия № 13 «Случилось убийство, погиб человек»
Жестоко убит охранник зала игровых автоматов Семён Телегин. С виду спокойный, беспроблемный мужчина, которого очень уважали подростки. Романов выясняет, что Телегин продавал молодым людям наркотики, некоторое время назад подвинув на этом поприще местного барыгу. Попытки поговорить с вдовой Телегина к успеху не приводят — женщина настроена очень агрессивно и вызывает себе на подмогу сотрудников местного ЧОПа. Следствие выясняет, что убитый Телегин не тот, за кого себя выдавал. На самом деле он бывший бандит, живший под именем своего брата, два года назад сдавший свою банду и ударившийся в бега с кассой группировки. По его наводке почти все бандиты оказались за решёткой, кроме предводителя ОПГ.

Серия № 14 «Опасная афера»
На собственной яхте убит замешанный в коррупционном скандале генеральный директор компьютерной компании Виталий Гутин. Президент компании Лев Маргулис убеждает следователей, что он не был заинтересован в смерти гения-основателя. У брата убитого, на которого Виталий переписал всё своё имущество, чтобы оно не досталось его бывшей жене, железное алиби. После разговора с братом у следствия появляется ещё одна подозреваемая — психолог Элла Шацкая, с которой Гутин сошёлся после развода.

Серия № 15 «Убийство в школе для трудных подростков»
Недалеко от детского оздоровительного лагеря «Следопыт» найден убитым 15-летний школьник Лёша Маратов по прозвищу «Вепрь». Романов уверен, что парень знал нападавшего. Директор лагеря Роман Кравец рассказывает следователям об устройстве организованного им учреждения для трудных подростков с суровой дисциплиной. Романову и Филатовой многое кажется подозрительным: дети явно что-то знают и очень неохотно идут на контакт со следствием. Ребята кого-то сильно боятся: то ли сумасшедшего лесника, живущего неподалёку, то ли местную страшную легенду — «Чёрного дровосека», то ли сотрудников лагеря.

Серия № 16 «По следам серийного убийцы»
В поле недалеко от коттеджного посёлка найдено тело 20-летней Галины Холиной, её сестра-близнец Вера пропала. Почерк убийцы указывает на «Демона». Однако Романова смущает то, что вторая девушка исчезла — «серийник» никогда не похищал людей. Даниил считает, что «Демон» действует по написанному им сценарию, где не может быть случайностей, и особенно пристально нужно обратить внимание на выбор жертв.

Poverty Eradication: Some Alleviation Indices Unchanged Since 1960 – World Bank
Wed Oct 18 2017 7:18 am
Previous Article Spain Set To Revoke Catalonia Autonomy Over Independence Bid
Next Article Founder Of Virgin Group, Richard Branson Was Almost Scammed Of $5 Million
The World Bank has raised the alarm that efforts to eradicate poverty had remained stagnant as some alleviation indices have remained unchanged since the 1960s. At an event to mark the 25th Anniversary of the International Day to Eradicate Poverty, the World Apex Bank said that education which was a major determinant of poverty alleviation had stalled for decades.
The Bank expressed worry that only 12 per cent of today's youth have more education than their parents. According to early findings from an upcoming report by the bank, "the social status of one's parents is as influential today as it was 50 years ago in determining a person's future.
Focusing squarely on how one generation's education can make or break the next generation's success, the preview paper put together the first pieces of the "economic mobility puzzle". The study called for urgent need for investment in early childhood development, education access and quality, maternal and child health, nutrition, infrastructure, water and sanitation, to improve mobility and build human capital.
Giving a breakdown of some of the bank's findings, the World Bank Senior Director, Poverty and Equity, Mrs Carolina Sanchez, in a video conference said that education from generation to generation had stalled over the last half-century. "Only about half of people born in an average developing economy in the 1980s have more education than their parents – showing no improvement when compared to those born in the 1960s.
"If the world does not alter the way it invests in its children, particularly those coming from less advantaged backgrounds, there is little reason to believe that this assessment will be different 10 years from now, making an end to extreme poverty by 2030 an even bigger challenge," she said.
Sanchez said also that low levels of upward mobility were particularly pronounced in the developing world, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. "For example, only around 12 percent of today's young adults (born in the 1980s) in some Sub-Saharan African economies have more education than their parents, compared to more than 80 percent of the same generation in parts of East Asia.
"Breaking the cycle of low relative mobility and high inequality will require equalizing opportunities to reduce disadvantages from predetermined circumstances, such as parental education or income, gender, or geographic location. It is common for children from poor families also to reside in poor neighborhoods and attend poor schools. Levelling the playing field could mean investing so that the children in poor neighborhoods could have access to better schools and public programs that close the gaps in learning. In general, equalising opportunities should be a priority for economies seeking to reduce inequality over the long term, which is a growing concern for governments in developing and developed economies alike," she said.
Similarly, Mr Maninder Gill, Director, Social, Urban, Rural, and Resilience, World Bank, called for local actions to ending poverty and the need to pay extra attention to vulnerable groups such as rape victims and people leaving with disabilities.
"Behavioural experiments show that people are highly averse to inequality that they perceive as unfair, but they might be willing to accept higher inequality of outcomes when it is perceived to be associated with "merit"," he said.
The Word Bank expressed worry that although poverty had generally reduced, the lack of more education posed a great challenge to poverty alleviation in the nearest future. According to its most recent estimates, in 2013, 10.7 per cent of the world's population lived on less than 1.90 dollar a day, compared to 12.4 per cent in 2012. That's down from 35 per cent in 1990.
Nearly 1.1 billion people have moved out of extreme poverty since 1990. In 2013, 767 million people lived on less than 1.90 dollars a day, down from 1.85 billion in 1990. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the number of poor in the region fell only by 4 million with 389 million people living on less than 1.90 dollars a day in 2013, more than all the other regions combined.
In Nigeria, extreme poverty was 53.5 per cent in 2009, then fell moderately to 46.8 per cent in 2015. Thus almost 85 million people lived below the international poverty line of 1.90 dollars per day. The economic contraction in 2016 led to a projected increase in poverty by close to 2 per cent reaching 48.4 per cent.

Graphene and graphene oxide (GO) films have been explored to develop an efficient laser desorption/ ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) platform for the analysis of chemically and biologically important small molecules. The GO films were prepared by layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly cycles (one to ten layers) with precisely controlled thickness and surface roughness which are important structural factors for laser energy absorption capacity and laser energy transfer for efficient LDI-MS analysis. Amino acids, saccharides, and pyrenylated molecules were analyzed by LDI-MS on the LBL assembled GO films to reveal their structural influence on LDI-MS analysis of small molecules. Then, the structural influence of LBL assembled GO films on synergistic effect was investigated to develop an efficient and widely applicable LDI-MS analysis platform with an additional multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) layer. We found that the optimum number of GO film layers for LDI-MS analysis was dependent on the chemical structures of small molecules, and the laser energy threshold needed for LDI of small molecules on GO/MWCNT films could be lowered as the number of LBL assembled GO films increased underneath the MWCNT layer.

India's Heritage Aviation acquires two H125 helicopters
In an acceptance ceremony held today in Marignane, India's Heritage Aviation received two H125 helicopters acquired for charter and utility missions, with a special focus on pilgrimage heli-tours. The first H125 will arrive in India by the end of the month, followed by the second in early May.
Heritage Aviation has been operating at pilgrimage sites in India with leased aircraft in the past. After operating various types of single-engine helicopters for the past seven years, Heritage Aviation selected the H125 to be part of its permanent fleet.
"Based on feedback of our pilots and customers, the H125 has been one of the most popular aircraft especially for visits to temples on high grounds," said Rohit Mathur, CEO of Heritage Aviation. "Passengers find the flights stable, assuring and comfortable; while pilots like the ease of flying it at high altitudes and in hilly areas."
Pilgrim tourism in India has seen an increasing number of people opting for the safer and more convenient option of helicopter travel over road transport and trekking. The H125 has been frequently used to fly tourists to places such as Kedarnath and Badrinath. It is also being used extensively for passenger transport at Amarnath and Vaishno Devi shrines in the States of Jammu & Kashmir.
"We are grateful to Heritage Aviation for selecting the H125 – it is a great testimony to the helicopter's capabilities as they have experienced it first-hand before making a decision," said Xavier Hay, Managing Director of Airbus Helicopters' Customer Center in India. "The H125 is a highly versatile and cost-efficient helicopter that can be seen performing a wide range of missions across India today."
The H125 is well-known in India as the AS350 Ecureuil before its renaming last month. It has been playing an instrumental role in many key sectors that Airbus Helicopters has been working hard to develop in India, including geophysical surveys, power grid management, electronic news gathering, emergency medical services, law enforcement and border patrol.
A class-leading helicopter recognized for its excellent performance in high and hot conditions with low operating costs, this rotorcraft holds an impressive 65% fleet share in the single-engine sector in India today.

The high-profile police killings of unarmed African-American men in recent months present us with an obligation to question the scope and magnitude of the progress we have witnessed since Emmett Till was brutally murdered (and his killers acquitted) in the summer of 1955.
Many of us have the day off work or school, and some will be engaged in acts of celebration or civil disobedience (or both) today.
At a minimum, we might stop to be thankful for Dr. King's leadership, vision and dedication to leaving the world (all too soon) a better place than he found it. But to what do we owe the struggle beyond that?
If this day is to mean more than mattress sales, we have to critically examine what it means to strive for social justice in the 21st century.
I often ask my students to consider what they might eventually lie to their grandchildren about. If we talk to white folks today who were living as adults in the segregated South in the 1950s, few of them will admit to having been in favor of discrimination at the time.
It is easy to believe that we would have been on the right side of history, but it is much harder to imagine how history will judge us. If our grandchildren ask in 2058 what we were doing in 2015, what will we say? Will we be proud, or will we have to reinvent ourselves in that moment to be consistent with what we have come to know and believe? Is there a way to push ourselves to confront these issues today?
As I detail in my most recent book, white Americans are advantaged over black and Latino Americans on almost every conceivable statistical measure.
Whether we consider educational opportunities, employment, treatment in the criminal justice system, housing, income and wealth, or heath, whites have an advantage. The existence of inequality is inarguable, as is its upward trajectory over the past 40 years.
Some will argue that it is both inevitable and warranted, and others will claim that it cannot be avoided without violating some fundamental principles of American democracy.
It is controversial to identify the reasons for this trend, though, because if we can we might feel compelled to address them. That will likely cause significant psychological discomfort, however, which most of us work hard to avoid.
This is one reason we continue to struggle as a nation with systemic racism so many years after most of us have rejected the interpersonal variety, striving to judge others not "by the color of their skin but on the content of their character."
In fact, most children born in the past 50 years were raised explicitly to not be prejudiced, yet a dramatically mounting collection of scholarly evidence shows that whites harbor latent negative associations about people of color (see implicit.harvard.edu, for example).
Emerging work from neuroscience laboratories over the past decade is revealing how our bodies respond in a preconscious fashion to race-based stimuli, which is contributing to the scientific evidence in support of nonconscious racism.
Understanding nonconscious bias helps to explain much of the persistence of racial discrimination. It is not important, for example, to demonstrate that police officers who kill unarmed black men are overtly bigoted; we need only understand that most Americans (and whites in particular) are more likely to be fearful of black men than white men or women, even if we consciously recognize that fear as irrational.
This recognition is valuable because it challenges the conceptualization of racism that allows well-meaning whites to not deal with it.
White Americans, at least in the aggregate, have disproportionate access to the levers of economic, social and political power, and while we truly desire to not be prejudiced, we still are. I am hopeful that scientific evidence will produce a nation of white people who will come to understand how the complexities of the human brain result in latent biases that work to perpetuate white supremacy, even against our best intentions.
This, combined with the challenge of systemic disadvantage, interferes with the potential realization of Dr. King's "dream" -- a dream that requires the struggle that we must collectively and individually embrace, in all its discomfort, if we are serious about social justice.

New York and San Francisco, February 13, 2019 —- Never Stop Marketing Research, the leading research firm on the intersection of blockchain and marketing, and Brave Software, an innovative privacy browser combined with a blockchain-based digital advertising platform, today announced the release of a new tool to showcase the growth of blockchain solutions for marketers via the Blockchain MarTech Landscape.
The number of marketing startups building blockchain-based solutions has grown explosively over the last 18 months, from only 22 in Q3 2017, to 88 in February 2018, to 290 today. Many of these companies have developed solutions and are now entering a testing phase.
Brave's Basic Attention Token was launched on May 31st, 2017 to improve the efficiency of digital advertising by creating a new token that can be exchanged between publishers, advertisers, and users. NSM Research and Brave are collaborating to assist marketers in assessing their level of engagement with key blockchain solution and concepts.
The Blockchain Martech Landscape tracks the type of startups using blockchain and distributed ledger technologies for marketing use cases. The Landscape's first column focuses on the Programmatic Advertising category and the solution the blockchain-based startups provide. These include Supply Chain Transparency, Payment Transparency & Reconciliation, Fraud Prevention, and Rewarding Consumers for their attention.
This 3rd version of the landscape adds new categories that would not exist without blockchain such as rewarding content contributors, video contributors, email readers, and consumers for sharing their data.
The space is developing quickly. Many of the startups being tracked in the Landscape have moved onward from initial development and are in the process of running tests.
Brave has pioneered a new blockchain-based advertising model that reforms the current system with 70% revenue share to users and privacy by design. Following the October 2017 integration of the BAT into the Brave browser, Brave began a series of user trials in June 2018. In January 2019, Brave announced the Brave Ads Developer Channel preview, providing the first experience for the public and brands to test and learn in preparation for the general release. Brave Ads will become available to all with the upcoming Brave 1.0 browser release, and early ad network and brand partners include BuySellAds, TAP Network, AirSwap, Fluidity, and Uphold.
In July 2018, a series of pilots focused on providing transparency through the programmatic media supply chain were announced by MetaX, FusionSeven, Kochava/XCHNG and Lucidity. Lucidity has also unveiled significant results from a recent campaign with Toyota. Meanwhile Unilever is testing IBM's blockchain platform to validate agreed spend and clarify discrepancies, and at Advertising Week, Kiip showcased a test with AB Inbev to identify advertising discrepancies using a single ledger to record time-stamped impression level campaign delivery.
All eyes are now looking forward to the results from these early case studies. Over the next few months, these experiments will open a new chapter for marketing – one that may well vindicate early blockchain entrepreneurs and their big bets on this technology.
Never Stop Marketing Research is a comprehensive source for marketers and agencies to find information, analyses, and reviews of Blockchain MarTech & AdTech solution providers. The goal is to help marketers understand Blockchain technology, and how it can help them increase revenue and save money on marketing. Never Stop Marketing is a partner of the BRI, Blockchain Research Institute, has published three books including the Decentralized Marketing Organization, and frequently keynote at MarTech conferences.

Centerville Town Court is located on Rushford Road in the town of Centerville, New York. The town of Centerville is located in Allegany County, New York.
The town of Centerville in the Allegany County in New York, United States is located to the northwest corner. The town got its name from its principal settlement with the first settler being Joseph Maxon on April 1808. Joseph Maxon was only 18 and he passed eight months in the wilderness of present-day Centerville alone.
Then in the fall of 1808, James Ward settled with half dozen other families moved in the following year. On January 15, 1819, Centerville which was then spelled "Centreville" was established from a part of the town of Pike. Centerville is the northwestern town in the Allegany County which is located on the ridge's summit. The town divides the waters of Genesee River and the Cattaraugus Creek.
Centerville's surface is moderately hilly in the upland with the soil mostly clayey loam. To the west of Centerville, there is the town of Hume and to the north is the town of Rushford. The town of Freedom in the Cattaraugus County shares Centerville's west town line while the north town line is shared with the town of Eagle in the Wyoming County.
Centerville is drained by Sixth Town creek which also improperly being called Six Town. The Sixth Town creek has two major tributaries with the first one has its source in the town's northwest part. The other which starts from the town's southwestern part contributes largely to the configuration of Sixth Town creek than any other stream in town.
There is also the Houghton creek, a branch of Cattaraugus creek and whose source is in the town's southeast part. The name Centreville came from the fact that the first settlement in the town was made exactly at the town's 'Centre' a few years before it was formed. With that, the people thought that naming the town 'Centreville' is just proper.
Centerville Town Court personnel are prohibited by law from providing you with any legal advice. They will attempt to guide you through the process; but if you have legal concerns, you should seek the advice of counsel.
Advantages of Hiring A Local Attorney
The John C. Nelson law firm receives calls from attorneys across New York State asking me to 'cover' a traffic ticket for him or her. This is because not all traffic tickets can be handled by mail. Most of the time, I can appear on my client's behalf or even handle the matter by mail, but sometimes courts require the attorney to be present in court. For example the courts of Limestone, Perry or the Village of Ellicottville can not be handled by mail, attorney must be present.
When you hire an attorney from New York City to appear on a traffic ticket that was issued hours away from the big city, they call a local attorney, such as the John C. Nelson law firm.
Sometimes the big city attorney calls the local prosecutor who offers a plea to a points violation instead of a parking ticket. The big city attorneys that advertise on the the TV, radio and internet are many hours away and have no interest in taking the case to trial and can't argue motions.
It's more advantages to hire a local attorney, who knows the law, the locale and can be present at the local court, when needed.
Did you receive a ticket in Centerville Town Court?
In most instances in life, the more points you get, the better it is. However, that's not the case when it comes to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles issuing points on your license for certain types of traffic violation convictions. When it comes to a clean driving record, you don't want any points or as few as possible. Having points on your license can increase your automobile insurance, it can prevent you from having certain jobs that requires you to drive and it could lead to license suspension or revocation.
The New York Vehicle and Traffic Law section 1180 deals with speed limits and lays out the consequences imposed by a court upon a conviction. The fine that a court may assess is based upon the specific traffic violation stated on the issued ticket, the speeding infraction, and the number of previous convictions.

The community of Extremadura is located in Western Spain, just east of Portugal. This region, which is home to one of my favorite Spanish cities – Caceres, used to be part of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania (along with Portugal). Its capital city, Mérida, was in fact one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. The region is also the source of many important Spanish conquerors. And apparently, yet another language is can be found here – Extremaduran – spoken by several thousand people in the region. I tell ya, Spain is the land of a million languages.
