Natera Sues Inivata, Alleging Infringement of Cancer Testing Patents
Jan 20, 2021 | staff reporter
NEW YORK – Natera said on Wednesday that it has sued Inivata and its wholly owned subsidiary of the same name for alleged infringement of two of its patents.
In its complaint, filed in the US District Court for the District of Delaware on Wednesday, Natera said Inivata infringes its US Patent Nos. 10,262,755, titled "Detecting cancer mutations and aneuploidy in chromosomal segments," and 10,597,709, titled "Methods for simultaneous amplification of target loci," which it said protect intellectual property in the areas of cancer personalized monitoring and molecular residual disease testing.
Natera said Inivata infringes these patents by selling, manufacturing, and using various oncology products, including its InVision First-Lung test, which it launched in the US last summer through a partnership with NeoGenomics.
The company is asking for a jury trial, judgment that Inivitata has infringed the patents, an injunction against the company, as well as monetary damages.
"Natera has a significant portfolio of early intellectual property in the field of cell-free DNA analysis, and will vigorously defend its IP to support continued innovation in this field," Kevin Johnson, a lawyer with Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan who is representing Natera in this matter, said in a statement.

Complete Communities is about improving neighborhoods so that all of Houston's residents and business owners can have access to quality services and amenities. It's about working closely with the residents of communities that haven't reached their full potential, understanding their strengths and opportunities, and collaborating with partners across the city to strengthen them. While working to improve these communities, we must also work to ensure existing residents can stay in homes that remain affordable.
Complete Communities was given the Our Great Region Award in the Reach category on January 11, 2019. The Our Great Region Awards recognize outstanding projects in the region that are advancing the goals and strategies identified in the Our Great Region 2040 plan. The Reach Award honors a project that demonstrates exemplary public participation. Our Great Region 2040, Houston-Galveston region's consensus-based long-range sustainability plan, provides a framework for the Houston-Galveston region to coordinate its efforts to address overarching issues instead of dealing with them individually.

The City designed and implemented planning processes that align with each community's planning needs. Out of the hundreds of community engagement meetings involving all sectors of the community, an Action Plan was developed in each area. The Complete Communities Action Plans were presented to the Economic Development City Council Committee on May 10, 2018 and posted online for the public to make final comments. On August 29, Council passed a motion in support of all five Action Plans signifying the support of the City to partners, funders, philanthropists and others. City staff continue to work with the Neighborhood Support Teams, work groups and the greater community to facilitate projects as outlined in the plans.
Visit each area's page to access the Action Plan and to learn more about their process.
We began this initiative by working in five communities: Acres Home, Gulfton, Second Ward, Near Northside, and Third Ward. We selected diverse neighborhoods with various conditions and challenges. No two communities are exactly the same. Common elements between them are they are all historically under-resourced, each has a base level of community involvement and support, they have diverse populations and each has its own unique look and feel.
These pilot communities, listed below, represent the initial round of this program. Work in these areas will help to develop solutions that are transferable to other communities across the entire city.
The City will provide support to pilot communities in a number of ways. First, each community will have the benefit of a team of dedicated staff across several City departments that will work with the neighborhood to identify priority projects and develop implementation strategies.
The City will develop a Neighborhood Toolbox. The toolbox will identify – in one place – all City programs that neighborhoods and the City can use to enhance all of Houston's communities.
The City is looking at its own uncommitted discretionary funding sources and exploring how to focus this funding to create a more significant long-term impact in these areas.
And finally, the City will ask organizations outside the City to be our partner in finding long-term solutions for strengthening these neighborhoods.
Each of these neighborhoods has unique needs and their own goals that they would like to achieve. So, the City will engage the residents in each neighborhood to understand their vision and partner with the local community to support their efforts to achieve their goals. If planning efforts are already underway or completed, the City will look for ways to help implement those plans.
Some of these areas have already had the benefit of significant neighborhood planning efforts, often by community development partners such as the Local Initiatives Support Corporation or Avenue CDC. For those communities where planning efforts are already underway or completed, the City will look for ways to support implementation of those plans. For areas without previous neighborhood planning efforts, the City will conduct a 6 to 9 month community engagement process to help local residents and businesses identify improvements to strengthen these communities. After completing these plans, The City will ask the local community and other organizations to be our partner in turning the plans into reality.
The City conducted a 6 to 9 month community engagement process to help local residents and businesses identify improvements to strengthen communities. The timeline for each step is outlined below. For details by neighborhood, visit the community's page.
To support each Complete Community as they work to implement and execute their action plans, a training program was developed to support their work - Complete Communities University (CCU). To learn more out CCU, visit our CCU page.
An advisory committee has been established to serve as a sounding board, as ambassadors for the effort, and as links to residents and businesses in the selected neighborhoods. The committee is comprised of 26 community leaders and advocates that have a balanced perspective ranging from city-wide to neighborhood specific involvement. Click to view the list of Complete Communities Advisory Committee members.
The Community Design Resource Center (CDRC) was an integral part of the Complete Communities planning teams in all five pilot Complete Communities. The Community Design Resource Center provided expertise in community engagement and designed and produced the final Action Plans. Visit the CDRC at https://www.uh.edu/architecture/special-programs/cdrc/. To see the Planning Department team members, visit each area's page.


Discussion in 'Model S' started by apacheguy, Dec 24, 2015.
A couple days ago I started getting TPMS needs service. It was intermittent at first, but the error is now permanently displayed as soon as I press the brake to turn the car on. It's not practical for me to wait for an appointment with the SvC since it will probably be several weeks for the first available appt. and also I'm road tripping after Xmas. I've tried rebooting and I've also performed a TPMS reset.
Is there anything I can do to clear the error message? Disable the TPMS all together, perhaps?
Where can I locate the TPMS receiver module on a classic Model S?
I think Tesla can reset this over the air, I had this issue with my first Tesla.
I had a TPMS module fail, and thus that same error message. We don't have a local SvC around here, but Tesla overnighted me the replacement part... any tire shop can do the install (just make sure you trust them).
It's most likely that the battery(s) in the sensor in one wheel has died. It's probably best to just replace all the batteries. Any tire shop should be able to do this.
The steps below should fix it, at least temporarily. But likely the error will keep reappearing until the system is upgraded.
Model S touchscreen, touchControls > Settings > Service & Reset >Tire Pressure Monitor > Reset Sensors.
I reset the TPMS a second time through the controls screen and that's seemed to keep it happy for today at least. Most likely just a faulty sensor, so I'll have service take a look when it's convenient.
Generally, I think it's great that alerts appear when issues arise. I really dislike fault suppression. However, in this case it would have been nice to have a "Dismiss message" option that would conceal it for a set amount of time.
@apacheguy: How many miles do you have on the original TPMS sensors? Mine started failing around 50k miles.
I asked to get the TPMS disabled at the SvC but they couldn't since there is some sort of silly federal regulation staying all cars need that system now.
Well, they replaced the sensors about 6 months ago with the Baolongs. I don't think I'll be upgrading to the newer system as it requires two receivers and a wiring harness installation.
Does anyone know if a generic tire shop can determine which wheel has the bad TPMS sensor, or will they have to replace all 4? This is for a classic model s that doesn't display the individual air pressure for each tire...I have aftermarket wheels and tires so I don't think Tesla will work on them.


Coach has been making coach bags and purses since 1941. Along with popularity of coach purses, many people are looking for any style of coach handbags including vintage bags. Vintage coach bags are very rare to get it nowadays, but there are some online stores still keep them and sell them from different years.
Vintage handbags from Coach are quite fashionable and stylish. It also has the long lasting material like leather. The bags are sturdy with the perfect stitches and well design of workmanship. It is very proud if you can have one of the vintage coach handbags.
The best online stores to get vintage bags from Coach are eBay and Amazon. Those two big online stores credibly offer the vintage coach handbags that has guarantee of the authenticity and originality. But again you have to check the seller as I found many eBay sellers are carrying the replica bags from Coach as well. You can communicate with them, they will tell you the truth as they don't to ruin their reputation as the great seller on eBay.
You can find vintage coach purses on Amazon for the other option. Amazon has huge number of stock for coach products like new one and old one even vintage from many years ago. You can try to check around the online shopping outlets for it for the best vintage bags from Coach as many online outlets carry coach products now.


Our story this month at Messy Church involves two of Jesus' disciples as they walk from Jerusalem to the small village of Emmaus. They had seen their friend die a horrible death 2 days before, they were living in fear that they might be next and they had heard the story of the women who had gone to the tomb to prepare Jesus' body for burial, only to discover the body was gone. Angels had met the women and told them that Jesus was alive.
As the two trudged along, a stranger caught up with them and asked them what they were talking about. They could not believe that he had not heard what had happened in Jerusalem over the past few days and poured out their grief filled story. They shared their disappointment because they were sure that Jesus was the one sent by God to save Israel. They spoke of their sense of betrayal, that their own people had handed one of their own over to the conquering Roman overlords to be killed. They finished by telling him the rather perplexing events of that very morning at the tomb.
The stranger walked with them in silence, listening to all they had to say. Then shaking his head and taking a deep breath he said to them, "How foolish you are. Moses and the prophets have told you this would happen to the One sent by God to save God's children." He spoke to them about Scripture and helped them to see that Jesus's story was woven into the ongoing story of God and God's children. That what happened was destined to happen.
The two men were comforted by the wise words of this man. When they arrived at Emmaus, the asked the stranger to stay with them. At supper, the stranger did what they had seen Jesus do many times, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to them. Suddenly they knew who he was. And just as they recognized Jesus, he disappeared!
Everything became clear and they could not believe how foolish they were not to recognize him by his wise words, and his way of being with them. Jumping up from the table they hurried back to Jerusalem to tell the others their incredible and wonderful story.
The story of Jesus' two friends walking along that dusty road is our story, Jesus walks with us, listening to our grieve stricken story, our disappointment over dashed dreams, our times of betrayal and loneliness, and then gives healing and hope.
Take a moment and think about the times in your life when you knew you felt you could no longer carry on and yet something got you through. If Jesus were to walk a few miles with you today, what would you talk to him about?

Q: Count of col1 over order by col2 create table t (col1 int,col2 varchar(10))
insert into t values(10,'val')
insert into t values(20,null)
insert into t values(10,'val3')
insert into t values(40,'val1')
insert into t values(50,null)
insert into t values(60,'val')

--1.
SELECT *,COUNT(COL2) OVER (ORDER BY COL1) FROM T

--2.
SELECT *,COUNT(COL1) OVER (ORDER BY COL2) FROM T

I am not able to understand the output of two select query mentioned above.. can anybody elaborate.

A: *

*The count column will contain the accumilative number of values in col2 that are not null, sorted by the value of col 1

SELECT *,COUNT(COL2) OVER (ORDER BY COL1) AS [count]
FROM T
ORDER BY COL1

Results:
col1    col2    count   --explanation
10      val3    2       --The first two values of col1 are the same, and the values of col2 are not null.
10      val     2       --The first two values of col1 are the same, and the values of col2 are not null.
20      NULL    2       --A new value of col1, but col2 is null so it's not counted.
40      val1    3       --A new value of col1, and col2 is not null.
50      NULL    3       --A new value of col1, but col2 is null so it's not counted.
60      val     4       --A new value of col1, and col2 is not null.

*Basically the same, just reverse the columns:

SELECT *,COUNT(COL1) OVER (ORDER BY COL2) As col1Count
FROM T
ORDER BY  COL2

Results:
col1    col2    col1Count    --explanation
20      NULL    2            --The first two values of col2 are the same (both null), and the values of col1 are not null.
50      NULL    2            --The first two values of col2 are the same (both null), and the values of col1 are not null.
60      val     4            --The next two values of col2 are the same (both 'val'), and the values of col1 are not null.
10      val     4            --The next two values of col2 are the same (both 'val'), and the values of col1 are not null.
40      val1    5            --A new value of col2, and col1 is not null.
10      val3    6            --A new value of col2, and col1 is not null.

Lisa is the 15 year old daughter of a pen pal of mine, who resides in Pennsylvania. Here is the story of Lisa's hunt. Congratulations and way to go Lisa!
The first deer my mom and I saw in rifle season was a fork buck on opening day. He was on a brushy hillside, walking towards us. He stopped, took one look at us and decided we weren't the type of gals he'd like to hang out with. I promised myself that I would get that buck. We walked on, hoping he would slow down, and give us another chance. As we sat down to lunch we heard around seven or eight shots and I heard some horrible bawling from that direction. After that I didn't feel like eating. I was sure it was the buck. We slowly made our way towards the area the shots came from. After a while, we came to a father and his son. They were dragging the doe they had just turned into Swiss cheese. The father had shot around five times and the doe just stood there, then the son shot a few times and the deer finally dropped. The rest of the day went by without an incident (except for sore feet and frozen fingers).
The next morning, mom asked me were I would like to go. I suggested that we go were the father and son sat when they got their doe. When we got there we sat down in the well cleared area. It didn't look too promising but I had a feeling we were going to see something. I was picturing a beautiful doe walking on the hill, and then a victory shot. Five minutes passed and I was listening very carefully when I heard something. Faint but distinct, the crash, crash, crash of a number of deer. In my mind was, no, can't be, not this soon. But where was it coming from? Slowly I turned my head and looked behind us. I was shocked to see fifteen or more deer walking past us in the brush at about seventy five yards. I used my favorite grunt call, locally made. It must have been made especially for the local deer, because they angled right back. They passed us again, this time at around seventy yards. I called with the grunt and again they angled back. Sixty yards in front of me was a small clearing and in front of that was a large one. As they passed through the small clearing I looked them over to choose the deer I would shoot. At the end of the line of does, one deer stood out and looked strangely familiar. It was the buck I saw on opening day. The buck I declared that I would get. What a chance of a lifetime for me! My gun was ready, the buck was in the clearing. With my voice I went "Baa". He kept going. A louder"Baa". Still going. "BAAA". He stopped, with his heart and lung section behind a tree. Well, the ribs are good enough. My heart was pounding as I took careful aim. I shot and the buck leaped in the air. He took a few steps into the brush and just stood there. Mom, who hadn't moved an inch since she saw me raise my gun, now turned to see deer scattering everywhere. She spotted my buck in the brush and didn't want to chance letting it get away. She took a shot, but a sapling deflected her bullet. The buck was spooked by the shot and ran fifteen yards and fell down. I had gotten my first buck and a brow tine had made it a five pointer. I decided to mount the head of my first buck semi-sneak and looking to the right, the way I had first seen it on opening day.


Disconnect and Electric Motor Starter is used for turning the power off and on the electric motor used in HVAC applications. It also has overloads built into the starter so if one of the windings begin to pull too many amps the overloads open the circuit and the motor stops operating. Motor starters can be used for single phase and 3 phase motors and offer a manual way to turn the motor off or disconnect the electricity to the motor to prevent it from starting for maintenance or repair of the motor or peripheral systems.
Control wiring can be integrated into the motor starter for automatic control and or monitoring. Monitoring usually occurs with auxiliary contacts or status contacts near the starter. Some solid-state motor starters will also detect and stop a motor if it is turning backward. It is important when troubleshooting motor problems that the technician understand the motor starter and the limitations of the motor starter.
Finally, in conclusion, motor starters are commonly used for 3-phase motors and are used to kill power to the circuit if there is an overload or short circuit. There are solid state starters unlike the one pictured that use electronics to detect an overload and other possible problems.
The one pictured above controls the starting and stopping of the motor via a relay which is located in the bottom right corner of the photo. The relay has a red light on it indicating it is on and running. The relay is controlled by a direct digital control which offers precision computer control of building systems including HVAC.
Disconnect and Electric Motor Starter are generally used in commercial HVAC applications. In the photo, the motor starter is used for an air handler located in an upper-level mechanical room. The system is controlled by direct digital controls which have been integrated into the HVAC system for that building.


Reports of fake websites and Twitter accounts seeking donations to help the victims of the Boston Marathon explosions surfaced within hours of the tragedy. As with any such disaster, many of us are moved to open our hearts and wallets to help those people who have suffered terrible loss. Be very cautious about supporting any organization that reaches out to you by email, social media or phone, or any group you've never heard of before.
On Tuesday, one day after the Marathon explosions, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino announced the creation of The One Fund Boston, to raise money to help those families most affected by the bombings. The cornerstone donation to the fund is a $1 Million donation from John Hancock, with headquarter offices in Boston for more than 150 years.
To learn more about this fund, or to donate, click here.
Before the events in Boston, a new website was recently created to help donors think about disaster-related philanthropy more strategically. The Center for Disaster Philanthropy offers tools, expert analysis, and strategic one-on-one guidance to maximize the impact of dollars given to disaster preparedness, relief, and recovery. If this is an area of interest to you over the long-term, check out this new resource.
In the meantime, however, the Governor's and Mayor's special fund for the Boston Marathon victims appears to be a very safe place to send your donations in the wake of this most recent tragedy.
As the Holiday Season gets into full swing, don't forget to do the things that will bring you joy and meaning in your life: fall in love, hug your children, and give generously to others in need! Happy Holidays!
There are over 1.5 million charities in the United States. Many of them are doing remarkable work to transform lives, communities and the world. Unfortunately, too many of them do not succeed, and suffer from waste, lack of focus, little impact and sometimes, even dishonesty. As a donor, you want to know that your donation is well spent and that it is actually achieving the change you wish to see.
What can you do before giving away your money? After identifying the causes you wish to support, begin with some basic research. Look at a charity's website and see if recent, audited financial information is easily found. Further, every nonprofit is required to file an IRS Form 990 that reveals important financial information. Those forms can be obtained directly or are available online at www.guidestar.com and www.nccs.urban.org.
Many donors look at their charitable efforts and wonder: Does the nonprofit I'm supporting really have an impact? What can I do to make my philanthropy more effective? Being an effective philanthropist doesn't depend on the amount of time or money you give, but rather upon how you approach your giving.
Determine why you're giving and what outcomes you want to achieve. The reasons individuals give might include compassion, gratitude, tradition, religion, status, peer pressure, tax advantage, guilt, moral duty, ego, reputation, setting an example for or passing values to family, creating a legacy, and more. You may seek to help others in need, find a cure or solution to a problem, advance a cause, or preserve something you believe is valuable.
Develop a strategy to achieve your goals. As with any investment, you must develop a strategy to achieve the desired return. Knowing why you're giving and what outcomes you want to achieve are the first two building blocks of a philanthropic strategy.
Volunteer your time. Some people have more time than money. Others can contribute both. Volunteering for a charity or cause important to you can help you learn more about the work and achieve even greater impact.
Involve your family. Whenever possible, involve your children, grandchildren, siblings, parents and grandparents in your philanthropic endeavors. Every generation has much to teach, and learn from, the other. Family communication across generations can identify shared values, create traditions, heal wounds, foster collaboration, and magnify impact.
Research before you give. With over 1.4 million nonprofits in the U.S., 500,000 of which were created since 2000, it takes more than a glossy brochure or a snappy website to tell you which ones are achieving real outcomes and which are not. Doing your homework helps you determine which charities are worth your investment of time and money.
Give boldly in your lifetime. People rarely donate so much money or time to charity in their lifetimes that they can no longer take care of themselves or their loved ones. Many have capacity to give far more than they do without sacrificing the quality of their lives or that of their descendents.
Go deep, not wide. Focus your giving and volunteering on fewer charities where you can make a difference rather than spreading them thinly across many beneficiaries.
Add charity to your estate plan. Your will is the last chance you have to pass on more than money to your heirs, shape your legacy, and help create a better world after you're gone.
Evaluate and change.Many people donate to the same charities year after year without learning whether any real progress has been made towards achieving their desired outcomes. Evaluation of your strategy and a willingness to change direction are essential.
Start now! Your community, nation and world need you today. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll see results in your life and in the lives of others.
For many people, philanthropy runs on the fumes of their lives, rather than being part of the engine. Following these steps to effective philanthropy will not only help you achieve better outcomes for the causes or organizations you care about, it will help you find the joy, meaning and satisfaction of philanthropy.
At all income levels, and regardless of the share of their permanent income that they give, Boomer and older women give 89 percent more to charity than their male counterparts. Among those who are in the top 25 percent of permanent income, Boomer and older women give 156 percent more than similarly situated men.
Women are flexing their individual and collective muscles, searching for deeper, sustainable solutions to pressing problems, giving generously, thoughtfully and strategically, and achieving greater outcomes with philanthropy than ever before.
There's a new resource for the millions of Americans who want to respond to a disaster like Hurricane Sandy but don't know where or to whom to give.
The concern is legitimate because although there are well-established and time-proven organizations like the American Red Cross, many other organizations requesting support for disaster relief are unknown to the potential donor. Moreover, reports of waste and sometimes even fraud in disaster relief agencies cause donors to be wary.

Voyage to the Iron Reef Surfaces at Knott's Berry Farm
November 30, 2016 May 22, 2015 by Melodi Steinberg
Voyage to the iron reef
By Katie Brandenburger
Dive deep into a world of mysterious creatures and enchanting underwater forests and attempt to save the Knott's Berry Farm Boardwalk from a watery doom in the new, interactive 4D attraction, Voyage to the Iron Reef – now open at Knott's Berry Farm.
In the new media-based battle, guests transform into brave deep sea navigators aboard a four-passenger submarine-inspired vehicle and embark on a four-minute voyage into the Iron Reef to defeat the Kraken Queen and her iron clad aquatic army. The voyage combines the fun of a theme park ride with the interactivity of high tech video games. The submarines navigate 10 different underwater scenes featuring hundreds of media-based creatures and other special effects.
What makes the attraction "4D" are the "freeze blasters" each voyager can use to shoot the "bad guys" in an effort to rack up as many points as possible (a la Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in Disneyland Park or Toy Story Midway Mania! at Disney California Adventure Park.). The attraction is not quite as slow moving as Buzz, nor is it as fast as Toy Story– it's a mix between the two, with impressive 3D graphics. The new 4D ride features interactive scenes filled with menacing sea creatures and many hidden surprises that react to the accuracy of the freeze blasters controlled by the guests on board. Every rider earns a score, which makes every trip to the Iron Reef a competitive adventure.
The Kraken Queen story:
"The Queen of the Kraken and her aquatic army have surfaced to feed on the steel of any attraction within their grasps. Their unquenchable appetite for coaster metal has turned these creatures into swimming mechanical monsters unlike anything ever seen on the ocean floor.
Guests who have what it takes to become brave deep sea navigators will climb aboard four-person submarine-inspired ride vehicles and embark on the four-minute gaming adventure into the Iron Reef. Equipped with an interactive freeze ray, guests will aim for ballooning puffer fish, an iron clad octopus and other exciting 3-D creatures as they attempt to blast the most sea life and save Knott's from a watery doom."
The park has also opened a new 8,186 sq.-ft.-Boardwalk Arcade and a new retail shop called Nautilus (formerly Ride Warriors). The Boardwalk Arcade is located directly beneath Voyage to the Iron Reef and has been refreshed with a new selection of popular video, redemption and merchandise games. Knott's recently introduced a reloadable game card system, replacing cash transactions at almost all of its games and arcades. Kiosks located near most games and arcades make a trip to the new Boardwalk Arcade even more convenient. Nautilus, located adjacent to new attraction, (formerly Ride Warriors), is filled with ride-inspired apparel, candy, and toys.
Later this summer, the laser tag compound inside Boardwalk Arcade will return with all-new twists, turns and new architectural features inspired by Voyage to the Iron Reef.
Can you beat my high score of 120,300? Grab a freeze ray and get crackin'!

App Magazine
BLICKPUNKT LKW & BUS
APP MAGAZINE DESIGN NEWS & MEDIA
Blickpunkt LKW+BUS (Kufstein, Austria) is Austria's largest special interest magazine for the transport industry. I've been responsible for the ongoing layouting since 2010. In autumn 2017, I modernized the entire look and feel of the publishing house – from the logo to the magazine layout to the website including blog.
In addition to the print magazine, an app magazine for iOS tablets and phones was launched in the end of 2011. Since 2015, Android devices are supported, too. After only four years the app counted nearly 10,000 unique downloads, by now the unique downloads have almost reached the 13,000 benchmark (12,899 unique app downloads as per 5 May 2020; sources: Apple App Store, Google Play Store).
In spring 2020 the app was completely restructured and shifted towards an article-based approach in order to comply with the latest market standards. Besides reading full magazine issues, users can now also read single articles separately on demand, which are smartly grouped by manufacturers and topics.
Downloading single articles separately instead of full magazine issues leads to a much smaller storage capacity on the users' mobile devices. Besides that, the users can determine themselves which articles they wish to read online and which articles they prefer to read in offline mode (for example on a plane).
"The app is very neat and easy to use. I like the fact that you can browse through previous issues. I also like the breakdown into different sections because I can find specific interesting articles more easily. For me personally, you made a good job on the app!"
Carmen Haderer
Iveco Austria, Head of Marketing
"I find the app great and currently - due to Corona - have enough time to really engage with it - a good time for the app as my print edition of Blickpunkt LKW & BUS lies on my office desk, all alone."
Mag.(FH) Ulrike Kobler
Mercedes-Benz Trucks Austria, Press & Services Communication
In addition to that, the app offers further possibilities for monetization for the publishing house. The flexible and modular app surface allows for a flexible and modular placement of advertising banners that lead to the advertiser's website when tapping. When closing the internet browser, the app user is back in the app. This makes sure the readers do not leave the app by accident.
Readers simply love the app which is reflected by top ratings in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app is perceived as very reader-friendly, intuitive to use and always up to date.
"1 medium – 4 channels" is the motto of Blickpunkt LKW & BUS. This covers the printed magazine, the digital app, the Youtube channel as well as the blog on the website. All communication channels are actively fed with information on a regular basis.
"The cross-media approach strengthens the brand's presence and has resulted in a rise of 21 % in advertising revenue since launching the app."
CEO Blickpunkt LKW+BUS

Bond 25 questions: Daniel Craig payday edition
Posted on May 8, 2018 by The Spy Commander
Daniel Craig in 2016 during the Brexit campaign in the U.K.
Variety says it knows Daniel Craig's salary for Bond 25. Naturally, that raises questions. That's the specialty of this blog.
Is Craig getting a pay raise or pay cut?
It depends who you believe, how accurate the news account and what currency exchange rates were at the time.
Back in 2012, after Skyfall became the first "billion-dollar-Bond," outlets such as The Independent said Craig would receive 31 million British pounds to do two more 007 films.
At 2012 exchange rates, that would mean getting $49.7 million, or almost $25 million per film. At current exchange rates, that would be closer to $42 million, or $21 million per film.
Variety's story says Craig is getting $25 million for Bond 25.
Given the currency swings and the like, it's hard to say one way or another.
Still, the Variety figure is FAR LESS than the $150 million, two-film deal that Radar Online claimed Craig would receive in a September 2016 story.
In 2016, some Bond fans took to social media to argue Craig was worth every penny of that supposed $150 million, two-film deal.
That argument was made despite the fact that Craig hasn't shown any evidence of being a box office draw outside of the Bond series.
Examples: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo ($232 million global box office), and a film where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer said resulted in a loss; Cowboys & Aliens ($174.8 million global box office); Lucky Logan ($47.6 million global box office); and Kings ($258,614 U.S. box office since April 27).
Does the Variety story mean Bond 25's distribution/financing is wrapped up?
Not necessarily. MGM said in 2007 that Craig was signed for four more 007 films (or running through Bond 25). But one event (Craig's contract) doesn't directly affect the other (Bond 25's distribution/financing).
Put another way: Craig isn't going to collect on his contract (whatever the amount, whatever the length of time) unless there's somebody to pay it.
MGM and Eon Productions announced a November 2019 release date back on July 24, 2017. No distribution deal was set then.
On Oct. 31, 2017, MGM and Annapurna Pictures said they formed a joint venture to release each other's movies in the U.S. But that deal specifically exempted Bond 25.
In mid-December 2017, Barbara Broccoli said in a podcast of The Hollywood Reporter said Bond 25 distribution wasn't set.
Maybe there's been more progress since then. But Craig's contract, in an of itself, doesn't mean much.

Sulawesi (tidigare Celebes) är den till storleken tredje av malajiska arkipelagens öar. Den tillhör Indonesien. Ön täcker en yta av 174 600 km² och är världens elfte största ö.

Geografi
Ön ligger mellan 1° 45' n. br. och 5° 37' s. br. samt 118° 49' och 125° 5' ö. längd. Ön skiljs i väster av Selat Makkasar (Makassarsundet) från Borneo, i söder genom Flores- eller Sundasjön från de Små Sundaöarna, i öst genom Laut Maluku (Molucksjön) från Moluckerna och omgivs i norr av Laut Sulawesi (Celebessjön). Ön består av fyra landtungor, av vilka en sträcker sig mot söder, en mot sydöst, en mot nordöst och den fjärde först mot norr och sedan mot öst. Dessa landtungor skiljs av tre djupa havsvikar: Teluk Tomini, Teluk Tolo och Teluk Bone.

Sulawesis bergryggar är av vulkaniskt ursprung. 2012 listades 11 aktiva vulkaner samt flera fumaroler som ligger på den norra halvön samt på angränsande mindre öar.

Av mineraler finns här koppar, tenn, brunkol och järn.

Ön består av sex provinser, och de största städerna är Makassar på sydvästkusten och Manado i norr.

Geologisk ursprung
Enligt en teori som framfördes av Audley-Charles under 1980-talet var Sulawesis västra del för 200 miljoner år sammanlänkade med en landmassa där även Borneo och Sumatra ingick. Den östra delen av dagens ö tillhörde däremot en kontinent som bildades av bland annat Australien, Nya Guinea och Antarktis. Kontinenten bröt upp för cirka 90 miljoner år och östra Sulawesi kolliderade under mellersta miocen (25 miljoner år sedan) med den västra delen. Dagens landformer bildades för 19 till 13 miljoner år sedan när den australiska kontinentalplattan började vandra norrut. Övärlden i Bandasjön flyttades i sin tur västerut mot Sundaplattan. Möjligen fanns en förbindelse till Borneo under pliocen.

Klimat
På grund av det höga läget över havet faller mycket regn på Sulawesi. På södra kusten blåser sydöst-monsunen som ger torrt väder från maj till oktober, därefter följer nordväst-monsunen med mycket regn.

Flora
Växtvärlden liknar den på andra öar i området. Skogarna är rika på palmer, bland vilka märks solfjäderspalmen (släktet Corypha), betelpalmen (Areca catechu) och sagopalmen (släktet Metroxylon). Bland dessa bildar dvärgpalmer och bamburör det karakteristiska skogsbeståndet. Olika fikonarter förekommer i rikt antal. Av kulturväxter odlas här ris, majs, kaffe, kakao, banan, sockerrör och tobak.

Fauna
Sulawesi bildar en övergång mellan den australiska regionen och den asiatiska regionen. Till den australiska djurvärlden hör pungdjuren och till den asiatiska apor, kattdjur och hjortdjur. Karakteristiska djur är hjortsvinet (Babyrousa babyrussa), låglandsanoa (Bubalus depressicornis), celebessvinet (Sus celebensis) och tre arter av spökdjur. Fåglarna står närmare Asiens än Australiens.

Administration
Ön är indelad i sex provinser, Gorontalo, Västra Sulawesi (Sulawesi Barat), Södra Sulawesi (Sulawesi Selatan), Centrala Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tengah), Sydöstra Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tenggara) och Norra Sulawesi (Sulawesi Utara).

Since having my first child just over 5 years ago, I've tried: staying home full time, working from home full time, working from home part time, working from an office part time, working from an office part time while freelancing on the side, and you know what? It's all stressful. Motherhood is beautiful and messy and constantly changing, and as hard as I've tried, I've never figured out how to balance it all.
Just when I do start to feel like I'm getting things figured out, or into somewhat of a routine, something changes. Another baby, a new freelance job, a child finally reaching some milestone that changes everything (this year it's kindergarten) - I feel like our family is constantly trying to find our new normal.
21.5 million working mothers contribute to America's workforce, so I know I'm not alone. One of the biggest topics among my girlfriends is how to balance it all, each of us with our little tricks and time savers (seriously, what did working mothers do before Amazon Prime and Shipt?). Along with 6 am workouts and my Shipt membership, I've worked to incorporate a supplement regiment which includes an adaptogen herb called Astragalus Root.
For hundreds of years, many people have been using Astragalus Root as an immune booster and stress reliever (the relationship between stress and immune system is undeniable). Its benefits are extensive: it's been shown to improve skin health and elasticity, studies have shown that it boosts the immune system, and it's been heralded as a trendy "adaptogen" - meaning it conforms to the what the body seeks. Feeling rundown? Astragalus can help give you energy. Feeling stressed? Astragalus can help to calm the nerves.
Stress (hello, everyone who needs something from me right now or more likely, yesterday).
Let's look at how this one herb can help with all three.
I used to sleep like I was dead. I always tell the story of the time in college that I woke up and realized I had totally slept through a fire alarm - I looked out and saw all of my school mates out on the quad at 3 in the morning. Since having kids, it's been a totally different story. Though the days of night time feedings and diaper changes are long gone, it's common for me to wake up at 2 in the morning with a to do list a mile long, or in a panic that I forgot to prepare something for bag lunch day at school.
Regular consumption of astragalus root can aid in reducing stress levels and providing peace of mind, helping to mitigate those 2 am wake ups. Considered a powerful reliever, astragalus root improves metabolism and maintains hormonal balances, which eventually promotes peaceful sleep.
Poor immunity makes you a sitting duck when you're around kids - especially if they are in school. Winter in Minnesota is the worst. We're all stuck inside, and no matter how hard we try, it's inevitable that someone will end up with a runny nose. Astragalus Root can serve as a natural immune booster. A recent scientific study reveals that astragalus extract contains some compounds including polysaccharides, which can stimulate immunity cells.
Adaptogens like Astragalus Root are having their day - and why not? Astragalus has many unique effects that can help balance mental as well as physical health. Taking Astragalus not only provides mental calmness, but can also reduce stress levels. Besides regulating stress levels, the herb can improve nervous tension and mood swings.
Astragalus works best when enhanced with other herbs from ancient Chinese formulas, and DAO Labs has made these formulas so much more convenient for the working mom. Though I'd love to have the time to visit an acupuncturist weekly, that's just not an option for me right now. Last week, one of my kiddos had a fever (soon to be revealed as hand, foot and mouth), and the other had a runny nose and cough. My husband was laid up with a nasty cold that kept him out of commission for over a week, even causing him to take a sick day during his busiest time at work. I was hitting the Immunity Support daily as a preventative. I made sleep a priority. I had added stress of being a solo parent while my husband got better. I would be lying if I said it was easy and I didn't lose my patience a couple of times, but we managed to get through it with the help of a daily Emotional Balance for mom and a little extra TV time for the kids.
DAO Labs' herbs are sourced using sustainable practices and tested for authenticity no fewer than 10 times before they are sold - the quality of these products cannot be beat. Taking formulas that have been used for hundreds of years, DAO has packaged them in a convenient way (throw a few in your purse and keep a couple in your desk drawer) and they taste much better than traditional herbs, so having a cup can become a relaxing ritual instead of chore. Want to try Astragalus Root for yourself? This powerful herb is found in both Immunity Support and Emotional Balance. Try today and use code BALANCE to save 15% - I'd love to hear what you think!

Cold-pressed canola oil turns commodity into innovative consumer product
In 1990, Kent Madison planted canola to conserve water.
During the 2000s, when biofuels were hot, he and his wife, Laura, started crushing the canola to produce biofuel.
When producing biofuel became too expensive for the economy to support, they converted their crushing plant to a food-grade oil production plant and turned their commodity crop into an innovative food product that is sold directly to consumers.
Every farmer and rancher in the state of Oregon (USA) is driven by a great purpose: to produce quality commodities that serve and feed their local communities and the world. Most send theirs off to various places to be processed or added into foods and sold elsewhere, some may get to produce and sell it themselves, but few get to do what Family Generation Foods is doing. Family Generation Foods is giving local multigenerational farm families a unique opportunity to take their commodity, turn it into an innovative food product, and sell it directly to consumers. Some might call that "living the dream." For Madison Ranches' Kent and Laura Madison, that dream has become a reality.
Family Generation Foods started at Madison Ranches, Kent and Laura's own multigenerational farm. The farm started with Gaylord Madison who, after several years of drought in Iowa, made a fresh start in eastern Oregon in 1914, taking advantage of the Water Reclamation Act. Purchasing dry desert land outside of Echo, he raised sheep and feed crops to provide for his flock and horsepower. Eventually the farm passed to his son, John Madison, who expanded the farm by adding an irrigation system to raise commodity crops such as wheat and alfalfa. He also replaced the sheep with cattle before transitioning the farm to his son Kent Madison in the early 1980s. Kent expanded the farm even further, utilizing the newest computer technology to plant crops, apply fertilizers, and conserve water.
Conserving water involved a transition to deficit irrigation, which requires crop diversity, with each crop using water at a different time and at a lesser rate. Out of this practice, and the need for better crop rotation, canola entered the picture. "We started raising canola in 1990 and also raised it in rotation with alfalfa, corn, and other crops," says Kent. Canola uses less water than other crops, especially as it matures. When water is no longer needed it is shut off and used for other crops, allowing the canola to dry before harvest. Once the canola is harvested, it can be crushed into oil.
In the early 2000s, when there was interest in biofuels, Kent and Laura decided to crush canola oil themselves to make biofuel for SeQuential Pacific Biodiesel. For this they installed their own canola crushing system and biodiesel production plant on-site at Madison Ranches. Eventually, the process became too expensive for the economy to support, and that's when Kent and Laura made an exciting discovery. "We realized the canola oil we were pressing was of incredible quality, golden in color, almost like an olive oil, and started playing with that," says Kent. The results carried over to the kitchen, as Laura started cooking with the oil, and that was when they decided to start producing food-grade oil. In 2012 they converted the canola crushing plant to a food-grade oil production plant, and Family Generation Foods was born.
The canola seed is harvested through a combine and, as it's needed for crushing, it's dry cleaned through a rotary cleaner and fed into crushers that press the oil from the seed. This occurs at the food-grade production plant, which is on-site at Madison Ranches.
Madison Ranches' canola oil was recently put to the test in at the Potato Champion food cart in Portland, Oregon, USA. Using a centrifuge to remove the solid particulates preserves the savory flavor of the oil while allowing it to achieve a high temperature without giving off excessive amounts of smoke.

The name honors the many generational farming families in Oregon, as 98% of Oregon's farms and ranches are family farms and ranches. Kent and Laura were amazed, in claiming such an appropriate name, that it had not already been taken. "It was surprising . . . when you do a Google search there are a lot of family genealogy sites that come up, but that's about it," says Laura. Although Oregon farm and ranch families have been serving and feeding their communities, and the world, for many generations, this is the first venture of its kind to bring them all together. "The concept of Family Generation Foods is generational farming families providing generational family food," says Laura. A simple and important concept for a company in its early stages that's starting to take off.
Madison Ranches' canola oil is the first product and has already evolved into seven flavors: Original, Lemon, Dill Weed, Basil, Roasted Garlic, Adobo Spice, and Habañero. All of them are pure, unique oils that stand out in a variety of foods, but they especially enhance presentation and the taste of homemade breads. "It has a beautiful color, and if you're into presentation, and into food looking pretty, it's appealing on the plate as well," says Laura. "The lemon oil is great in cornbread and cinnamon rolls, the flavored oils really stand out in breads." A few places carry these oils already, including Bennesere Olive Oils and Vinegar, which sells in bulk in Portland; Provvista, a premier specialty foods importer and wholesale distributor in Portland; and Bellinger Farms and Gourmet Shoppe in Hermiston. The oils are hitting their mark, striking a chord with fine shops, hotels, and restaurants alike. "Our target audience is the Portland, Eugene, Seattle market, people who enjoy good quality food," says Kent. They are also sold on Family Generation Foods' website.
Pleased with the success of their canola oil, Kent and Laura are already working with other growers on potential expansions. Potatoes, Wagyu beef, and blueberries in unique refillable containers are just some of the possibilities for the future of Family Generation Foods; and expanding it will fulfill an exciting purpose. In an age where consumers are far removed from the farm, Family Generation Foods seeks to close the gap, telling Oregon agriculture's story and connecting the consumer back to the source. "It gets the story out on these farms, each of these commodities will tell their stories, and it brings agriculture back to the forefront where food and fiber comes from," says Laura. Madison Ranches has recently transitioned to their son Jake, and Family Generation Foods could become an employee-owned company someday. Yet, each will continue to fulfill the rich tradition of generational farm and ranch families that have come before them, sharing wholesome, natural food and feeding their communities and the world.

Can it stand in for olive oil?
Refined canola oil is favored by restaurants and consumers because of its tendency to give off very little smoke when heated, but the refining process also has the tendency to remove the savory natural flavor of the oil.
Removing particulates is what allows canola oil to achieve a high temperature without giving off excessive amounts of smoke. Conventional refining uses chemicals to remove the solids, but Madison Farm's cold-pressing process uses a centrifuge system, similar to the centrifuge systems used in refining olive oil and avocado oil (Inform 24:558–560, 2013). This retains the color and savory flavor of the oil while allowing it to be heated without producing a lot of smoke.
Although refined canola oil is generally used for deep-frying, the Madisons' cold-pressed version can be used in a variety of culinary applications. Madison reports that some chefs are opening up to the idea of using the canola oil in place of olive oil.
"Some of the chefs that have tried it were skeptical at first," Madison said. "The restaurants that we have given samples to have all become customers because they really notice the difference after they've had a chance to play with it."

Within minutes of our arrival I was on the beach and wallowing in the warm, shark-infested, waters of the Indian Ocean. Cape Town beaches are great; with wide open expanses of sand and dunes on the West Coast you can walk for miles and often hardly see another soul. But even brass monkeys don't swim in the Southern Atlantic. The Indian Ocean on the other hand is so warm and inviting that it is easy to forget the undertow of the huge rollers and the razor toothed predators that skulk nearby. The lifeguards and surfers are watchful and skilled and the shark nets generally provide adequate protection to the beach-goers.
No need for alarm clocks here. Inquisitive penguins were playing round the boat before dawn broke. Seagulls, cormorants and oyster catchers added their voices to the cacophony of the morning chorus long before we rose and set sail north, along the Western Coastline to Langebaan.
As Umtata disappeared behind us in the early morning mist I breathed a sigh of relief at escaping the rawness of this part of Africa. It was, indeed, a short and unique experience and a vastly different environment from the Durban I had left a week ago. At the time I wondered if this was just a taste of what was to come and how I would receive and deal with the many facets of life in South Africa if I stayed for long. In the ensuing years I was to experience the vastness and diversity of this great multi-tribal and multi-cultural land.
I didn't realise the significance of the case of lager we were carrying nor did I know its real worth until we hit a 'road block' after crossing the Natal border with Transkei. The border post was manned by a handful of soldiers, each of whom was brandishing an AK47 with all the care that a child would handle a water pistol. This was no regular road block and the soldiers (I use the term loosely) were clearly not highly trained or disciplined military.

Hello everyone,My name is Charlotte Perrichot and I study Environmental and prevention management in Brussels. This summer I went to Ghana for 6 weeks to work as a volunteer in a basic school and teach little children. It was a wonderful experience! People in Ghana are so kind, helpful, friendly, very nice and they are smiling all the time! I loved being there.
In the morning I took the bus that took me to the school and there I had to help the teachers. I had to sing with the children and teach them how to write. I never worked with children before, so in the beginning it was scary, but the people are so friendly I quickly got used to it and I loved it.
I also travelled around Ghana a bit and I saw how beautiful the country is. There are beautiful beaches, national parks with a lot of animals and the nature is amazing. It's such a beautiful green country.

More from cities
Qingdao is among the sunniest coastal cities of China. It is surrounded on three sides by the Yellow Sea.
Qingdao has increasingly been identified as one of the most significant in financial terms for the Asian country towns. Thanks to its international port operations and highly developed economy, most inhabitants of the Chinese city can boast a very high standard of living.
Qingdao has the largest Bathing Beach in Asia. The coast is very attractive, because of its clean sands and calm waters. The beach is considered the jewel of the Huiquan Bay. It is a favorite place for wedding ceremonies.
You would assume that in the Chinese city, on the beach, the most consumed beverage is beer. The place is famous with the production of Qingdao beer. Qingdao honors the foaming drink with an annual Qingdao International Beer Festival. The event begins on the second weekend of August. For 16 days in the Chinese city, a number of events related to beer take place. Every year, the fest attracts millions of tourists. In Qingdao is the first of its kind in China Museum of beer (Qingdao Beer Museum). The entrance fee is 50 yuan.
Clean air and beautiful seascapes is the perfect combination, ensuring an unforgettable vacation in Qingdao. The transport network in the Asian city is also very well developed, which greatly facilitates tourists.
It is noteworthy that in the city are many buildings of European architecture.
Perhaps the most highly visited in this region is Ba Da Guan - one of the most visited places near the coast. The complex consists of eight streets, which include many fascinating buildings built in European style. The buildings dates from the time the Chinese city was under German protectorate.
A great place to walk along the waters of the Yellow Sea is the Zhan Bridge. The bridge, 440 meters long, is actually a continuation of the Zhongshan Road, in the waters of the sea. It was converted into a pedestrian zone. The long stone quay dates from about the creation of settlement in the late 18th century. The 10 m wide bridge is even more beautiful after sunset, when illuminations in the shape of lotus light the road. At the end of the bridge was built a typical Asian style octagonal Huilan Pavilion, which often exposes interesting compositions by talented local and foreign artists.
You cannot miss to visit May Fourth Square. The place is known mostly for its majestic monuments, representing the composition of several large red rings, located in an asymmetric shape. The sculpture is called May Wind and was erected in honor of the protests against the political regime. The square is in a very convenient location, surrounded by interesting governmental and administrative buildings as well as many business centers. The south has a sea view.
Among the city's attractions are the Eight Passes Villas, Wusi Square, Plank Bridge, the aquarium, Zhongshan Park.
In Qingdao is one of the longest bridges in the world. It's the facility of the Qingdao Haiwan Bridge. The bridge, a symbol of economic and technical power of the city is 42.6 km long and connects with Qingdao's Huangdao district.
About 30 kilometers from town is the picturesque Mt. Laoshan. A marbled resort is built among the divine nature in the vicinity of Qingdao. The territory has more than 40 hotels and numerous restaurants.
Qingdao is a major city of eastern China's Shandong province. The city is one of the largest in terms of number of inhabitants. Qingdao has a population of 8.1 million. By the end of XVIII century, the city had been a small fishing village. The increase in population began after the arrival of the German invaders.
The city is often called the "Switzerland of the Orient". A translation of Qingdao name means "the lush green islands."
Qingdao is located 13 hours by train from the capital Beijing.

Since 1990, Benjamin Bagby has been performing the great epic Beowulf around the world. While Beowulf lives on in literature as a written poem, its pre-literate medieval audience knew it through the performance of a scop, a bardic storyteller, as Bagby presents himself as here. In this one-man tour de force, Bagby accompanies himself on an Anglo-Saxon harp. Using the wide range of his voice, he delivers this gripping tale in Old English, as it would have been done over a thousand years ago. This performance speaks to the lovers of Beowulf, history, early music, and the oral tradition, and offers a glimpse into the fascinating origins of the English language.

All-time rushing yards leaders in New Orleans Saints history
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images) /
New Orleans Saints running back Wayne Wilson – Mandatory Credit: Peter Brouillet-USA TODAY Sports /
12. Wayne Wilson (2,462)
Saints FB from 1979-1986
In the 12th round of the 1979 NFL Draft, the Houston Oilers drafted Wayne Wilson, who never played a snap for Houston and went on to spend eight years in the Big Easy. He still sits 12th all-time in rushing yards.
The first few years of his career weren't flashy by any means but Wilson picked things up in 1982 by rushing for 413 yards and three touchdowns. The next year was his best year in the league, as he rushed for 787 yards and nine touchdowns, both career-highs for the Shepherd product.
In 1986, Wilson split time between the Saints and Vikings and finished out his career with Washington in 1987. He was out of the league after that.
While Wilson was never the most explosive player on the team, he was mostly utilized as a fullback and those have never been big playmakers. He made the most of his opportunities in New Orleans though and sits 12th all-time in rushing yards.
