You can't build a new Silicon Valley just anywhere.
Six years ago, I wrote a book about the origins of Silicon Valley. Ever since, international investors, foreign officials, and urban planners from multiple continents have been asking me for advice on how to re-create the magic at home. I've met with officials from Bangalore, Barcelona, Chennai, Dublin, Fukuoka, Helsinki, Shenzhen, Stockholm, and many American cities as well. They all want to know the same thing: How did the Valley do it? And how can we duplicate its success?
Unfortunately, there are a lot of wrong ways to go about building the next Silicon Valley. High-profile visitors like Russian President Dmitry Medvedev frequently make the rounds of the glass-clad, high-tech headquarters of Google, Apple, and others in suburban Santa Clara Valley, the region south of San Francisco that put the "Valley" in Silicon Valley. They take in the sprawling Northern California aesthetic, exclusive subdivisions, and well-manicured lawns; talk to young engineers working in research parks; and convene earnest round tables with the big brains at Stanford University. They examine the latest iPhones and open Twitter accounts, to great public fanfare. They announce, "OK, we're going to go back and make one of those." If only it were that easy.
Since the 1960s, world leaders have made similar pilgrimages — with similarly unremarkable results. In 1960, French President Charles de Gaulle toured the research parks emerging amid the farms and orchards south of San Francisco. Within a decade, the French government had established its own would-be high-tech city, Sophia Antipolis, along the Côte d'Azur. Multinationals set up branches there and Paris poured in francs, but the experiment was for years micromanaged from the top; innovation wasn't allowed to bubble from within. It is today a prosperous international business center, but hardly a global capital of innovation. Other delegations came to tour the Valley in the 1970s and 1980s, among them representatives from Japan, South Korea, and Scotland (which envisioned a high-tech hub outside Glasgow). Yet the original Silicon Valley remains secure in its place atop the high-tech food chain.
Not long ago, I toured University Town, a graduate campus that opened in 2003 on the outskirts of the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. Local leaders there are pinning their hopes on the new offshoot of the prestigious Tsinghua and Peking universities — the campus draws top-tier engineering graduate students to the area — to transform the regional economy and drive high-tech entrepreneurship in a part of China best known as a low-cost manufacturing hub.
The campus is monumental, with lots of open space (faculty and students drive to class, rather than ride bikes), an extraordinary library, and plenty of new, high-tech research labs. Only a decade ago, the place was exurban rice paddies and lychee orchards. Today it still has a middle-of-nowhere feel. The engineers there are China's best and brightest, and they work incredibly hard. But when I asked whether they had any intention of sticking around after graduation to build companies and lives, they told me: No way!
1. Give a lot of money to brilliant people — and stay out of their way.
In the United States, the government funded innovative activity. Then, by and large, it stepped aside. Silicon Valley is the product of more than 60 years of massive investment of public and private capital. The U.S. government was the Valley's first venture capitalist, seeding innovation through research grants and defense contracts during the first two decades of the Cold War. After the 1957 launch of the Sputnik satellite fueled panic in Washington about Soviet scientific prowess, government investment kicked into even higher gear. Much of this money flowed to research universities, and Northern California was home to two of the best in the nation — Stanford and the University of California, Berkeley. "With all their irritating faults," President Dwight Eisenhower's science advisors wrote resignedly in their 1960 annual report, "universities are essential agencies of our national hopes, and they must be treated accordingly."
Washington placed bets and sent checks, but refrained from micromanaging the research. Some early successes included Hewlett-Packard and Varian Associates, companies that counted the federal government among their most important customers. In 1971, with a nod to the fast-growing advanced electronics industry in the suburbs south of San Francisco, journalist Don Hoefler coined the term "Silicon Valley." The name stuck.
The risk tolerance and meritocratic ethos of Silicon Valley financiers provided extraordinary opportunities, especially for foreigners. Government action played a role here too, with post-1965 immigration liberalization and support for foreign students drawing top graduates from countries such as China and India. According to studies by Berkeley's AnnaLee Saxenian, more than half of today's Silicon Valley companies were founded by foreign-born entrepreneurs.
2. Find yourself a top-notch university, preferably one with room to spare.
A top-tier university is not only significant as a research center, but as a networking hub, cultural behemoth, and, if you're lucky, a wheeler-dealer landlord.
It hardly seemed inevitable in the 1950s that Stanford, a dusty Western outpost, would become the center of the technology universe. But the university was able to use generous Cold War research money from Washington to transform itself into a science and engineering powerhouse. At the same time, its administrators began to develop the thousands of acres of land that the university owned adjacent to the main grounds (founder Leland Stanford had converted his vast horse farm into a university campus, and the founding grant forbade selling off any land). In 1951, university leaders including Frederick Terman, then the dean of the engineering school and later the university provost, recognized that Stanford's high-powered alumni would gravitate to a university-built business park for research-based industry in Palo Alto, deliberately designed to look and feel like the campus next door. Early on, Terman was able to snag such entrepreneurial tenants as Hewlett-Packard, whose founders had graduated from Stanford, which then drew other top talent and emerging firms.
Stanford has continued to be Silicon Valley's engine for top talent and smart ideas. It has graduated more future tech-company CEOs than anywhere else in the world. Some of the biggest tech success stories — Google and Yahoo!, to name only two — got their start when their founders were still Stanford graduate students.
3. Don't forget that location matters — and that people vote with their feet.
Silicon Valley prospered because it had the qualities that attracted people who had the education, economic resources, and social advantages to live anywhere they chose. Talk about being in the right place at the right time. In the 1950s and 1960s, millions of Americans were moving from the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt, and from cities to suburbs. The Valley was exactly the sort of destination they desired — within commuting distance of a vibrant major city, San Francisco, but with plenty of open land to build houses, highways, and office parks. East Coast industrial cities didn't have such advantages. Places like Philadelphia and Baltimore had top-notch universities (the University of Pennsylvania was home to the world's first supercomputer), but declining inner-city neighborhoods of the 1960s and 1970s were hardly a lifestyle draw. The Santa Clara Valley boasted great weather, outdoor activities, good schools, and sought-after real estate — the "California Dream."
Today's high-tech workers are even more footloose, choosing to move around the globe in search of the right job in the right place. The cities that can't provide competitive amenities will lose out. Polluted air in Chinese cities dampens local campaigns to recruit expatriates. India's overloaded infrastructure discourages businesses and people from relocating. The point is that isolated research parks can't lure talented people — they've got to be someplace where the world's most talented people actually want to live.
As for the rest of what it takes to build your own Silicon Valley, all I can say is good luck. The Valley came to be in good part because the people there didn't have to pay attention to much else other than the work itself. Money flowed easily. Social problems seemed miles away. And, most importantly, success created a virtuous cycle that led to more and more success. Many other would-be silicon cities are not as fortunate. In declining industrial regions of the United States and Europe, planners are today hatching plots to revitalize downtrodden neighborhoods or collapsing industrial regions as new high-tech corridors. But they often get sidetracked trying to solve multiple problems at once. Let's face it: Not every empty block can become a new technology hub.
The secret of Silicon Valley is that it wasn't a consciously planned silicon city. The Valley exists because of other big forces — Cold War spending patterns, sustained GDP growth, and large-scale migration and immigration. It prospered because of unique local characteristics like risk-tolerant capital, entrepreneurial leadership, and good weather. It grew organically. It had room for happy accidents and lucky breaks. The not-so-good news for places like Shenzhen's University Town or Russia's Innograd, the high-tech corridor Medvedev wants to create in a woodsy area outside Moscow, is that this kind of ecosystem can't be built quickly from scratch. It takes time to grow, and success will depend on things its builders cannot control.
The good news for people wanting to create the next Silicon Valley is that it's no longer the 1950s. Globalization has changed the playing field, and the technologies that the Valley helped create have brought far-flung places and people together like never before. The Silicon Valley's virtuous cycle has created a global supply chain in which many cities now play a critical role. Engineers write code in Bangalore, and IT specialists answer the phones in Bucharest; silicon chips are built in Singapore, and social networking companies grow in Sao Paulo. There's no longer only room for one single place where the magic happens.
But place still matters, and the right ingredients still make a difference. Some of the biggest tech success stories of the past two decades, like India and Ireland, resulted from government investments that came in the form of tax breaks and lowered regulatory barriers to foreign investment — not just building research parks. Yet I still have a hard time convincing the never-ending delegations of urban planners of the importance of the other, broader things government can do, like liberalizing immigration rules and creating an environment full of educational opportunities and start-up capital for untested young entrepreneurs. This simply doesn't resonate for many of the would-be silicon cities being constructed by the Russias and Chinas of the world; with their long histories of centralized control, they are still convinced they can order up success.
Not every place can be Silicon Valley — but not every place has to be. The ideal environment for today's aspiring entrepreneurs may well be more gritty and urban than the lush grass and quiet office parks of Santa Clara Valley. So beware the visionary who comes selling you a new research campus in the middle of nowhere; it might work out, but I wouldn't bet on it being the Next Big Thing.

Find Did Radioshack Filed For Bankruptcy 2022
The good news is that since today RadioShack. Did Radioshack Filed For Bankruptcy… has actually officially been purchased by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), providing the troubled company a new lease on life. The disadvantage, a minimum of for folks like us, is that there are no immediate plans to return the iconic electronics merchant to its brick-and-mortar roots. As the name suggests, REV focuses on online retail, having actually previously revamped the Web presence of other bankrupt organizations such as Pier 1 Imports and Dressbarn.
While journalism release does not outright prevent the possibility of new physical RadioShack locations, it's clear that REV believes the future of retail isn't to be found in your regional strip mall. As the US mulls further lockdowns in action to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it's difficult to disagree. There will be countless bored kids and grownups trying to find something to do during the long winter nights, and an electronic kit or two delivered to their door might be just the important things.
REV states they prepare to relaunch the rather outdated RadioShack site just in time for the business's 100th anniversary in 2021. Since this composing the site currently states that sales have actually been momentarily halted to permit inventory restructuring, though it's unclear if this is directly related to the buyout or not. Getting an accurate count of how much product the business still has on hand after shuttering most of their physical places in 2017 certainly seems like something the new owners would wish to do.
Like the majority of you, we have fond memories of the Golden era of RadioShack, back prior to they believed selling televisions and phones was in some way an excellent concept. To their credit, they did attempt and rekindle their relationship with hackers and makers by asking the community what they 'd wish to see in their stores. However all of us understand how that story ended. While it does not look like this news will get us any closer to having an area store that stocks resistors, there's a certain comfort in understanding that RadioShack books and sets will still be around for the next generation.
RadioShack's shambling remains were provided another shock of life today when they were purchased by another business that prepares to relaunch the once-great retailer as an online-focused brand name.
The shop's remains were bought by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV), a startup founded in 2019 that's been scooping up brands from other faded retail giants also, including Pier 1, Modell's Sporting Item, Dressbarn, and more. REV says RadioShack's site currently has "strong existing sales and sales potential," and the company is "confident" it can even more raise awareness of the brand name globally.
REV declares it's successfully reversed other business it's launched as online brands. The Wall Street Journal reported that Dressbarn more than doubled its income in between the second and first quarter of 2020.
RadioShack was founded in 1921 and ended up being a retail staple in the '80s and '90s for anybody aiming to grab tech basics. For a very long time, that implied real radio elements, however ended up consisting of lots of electronic toys (one Brink editor fondly remembers his Armatron) and eventually phones. Its fortunes decreased vastly as online shopping got here, and the business filed for personal bankruptcy twice in the past five years. RadioShack still certifies its name to third-party "authorized" shops and sells branded items within some places of HobbyTown, a crafts merchant– comparable to how you can still discover "Sharper Image" items at Kohl's despite the fact that that seller shut its physical doors over a decade back. REV didn't say whether those RadioShack licenses would stay. Did Radioshack Filed For Bankruptcy
REV says it will "quickly relaunch" RadioShack's website. For those of you still sticking on to fond memories of the shop, there'll be a familiar sufficient place to go when you desire to buy expensive HDMI cables and knockoff earphones.

Printer Friendly Version HOME PAGE > WEEKLY COLUMN > Witch Hazel Blooms in Late Winter
"Arnold's Promise" is a variety of Witch hazel that is loaded with bright yellow blooms during winter.
Published February 18th, 2018
In southern Ohio it's a bit startling to see a tree in full bloom at this time of year. Pussywillow and Forsythia are still weeks from showing color, but the "Arnold's Promise" witch hazel in our garden is ablaze with yellow. Witch hazel look somewhat like Forsythia, but instead of having long drooping shoots they are handsome, upright, vase-shaped shrubs on their way to becoming small trees.
Witch hazel gets its name from the Old English term "wiche", which means bendable or flexible. The name "witch" was reinforced by the fact that its twigs were often used as divining rods.
Witch hazel extract is a folk remedy used to reduce swelling. Our family uses it to relieve itching and swelling from insect bites or poison ivy. It is also commonly used to treat acne, bruises and scrapes, and is an ingredient in after shave lotions because of its light, spicy fragrance.
In landscapes, witch hazel is a small to medium-sized "clump form" tree or large shrub, similar to dogwood or magnolia. Witch hazel can be used for eye-level privacy screen under overhead wires. It has smooth gray bark and attractive bright green leaves that turn yellow in fall. Witch hazel fruit is favored by birds, particularly grouse, pheasant and bobwhite quail. It is also attractive to deer and rabbits. It will grow in sun or part shade, prefers moist acid soil, and resists most disease and pest problems.
The most superior witch hazel variety in the United States came about almost by accident, a great example of why fruit trees are best grown from cuttings and not from seed. In 1928, Arnold Arboretum botanist William Judd grew seven witch hazel plants from seeds he collected from an old witch hazel tree, itself grown from seeds collected in China years before. As is typical of fruit trees grown from seed, none of the seedlings were like the parent plant.
One of the seven turned out to be much showier than the others, and bloomed in late winter instead of fall. Its yellow flower petals turned downward, another unique trait among witch hazels. Named "Arnold's Promise" (for the promise of spring) it grew in a shapely, upright clump form with multiple trunks. The original tree still stands on the grounds of Arnold Arboretum, which is part of Harvard University. Every "Arnold's Promise" witch hazel tree grown today is related to this one plant.

My Grandmother was born in 1896 in Maidenhead. She is shown in the 1901 Census as living in Denmark Street. Can anyone suggest what school she might have attended? Any ideas at all would be much appreciated.
Try the following site. There are various details of schools buried in it.
The nearest (primary) school to Denmark Street is St Luke's. It is still there.
Thank you so much for this information - in fact my Gran's parents were married in St. Lukes Church so it could follow that she went to St. Lukes School. I am thrilled to know it still exists, hope I will be able to get to Maidenhead sometime to visit.
Does anyone know if school records were kept from this time(early 1900s) and if it is possible to view them?
Windsor & Maidenhead is now a unitary authority and I am not aware that it has a record office or archive.
The Berkshire Unitary Authorities share the record office and Library Service and a number of other things like that.
Berkshire as a council of course no longer exists except for those of us interested in history. Its nearly as dead as Middlesex.
Thank you Nell and David for your interest and valued information, all much appreciated by this beginner in family history !
We have Weston, Cox, Paget etc etc living in Denmark Str.
What was your Nan's maiden name?
There is also St Mary's Catholic School.

American Vandal Renewed For Season 2 At Netflix
By Mick Joest
When the trailer for American Vandal was first released, some wondered whether or not a true crime docu-series parody about a kid suspended for drawing penises would have lasting appeal. It didn't take long before audiences and critics alike answered that question with a resounding "Yes," and it appears Netflix wants to keep the penis-doodled train going. The streaming service released a teaser video that confirms American Vandal has been renewed for Season 2.
As for what fans can expect for American Vandal Season 2, co-creator Tony Yacenda has already teased the direction the series may be heading. Right now, it appears that Peter Maldonado and Sam will likely head to another school with a fresh crime, as opposed to continuing on at Hanover High School. The goal then, it seems, is for American Vandal to be able to start fresh in an anthology format, rather than keeping up with the characters and storylines from Season 1, which would have a shorter shelf-life than the alternative. That's likely a bit disappointing to those who have grown attached to the story of Season 1 of American Vandal.
Spoiler Alert for those who haven't finished Season 1. None of us ever did find out who drew all those dicks, since it was revealed that Dylan Maxwell (played by Jimmy Tatro) was actually not responsible for the crime, and the filmmakers had a suspect who they think really committed the act. The show creators intentionally did not resolve things, which stayed in line with the true crime dramas the show emulated so well.
How American Vandal will be able to come up with a crime as hilarious as drawing penises on cars in Season 2 is the real question. Perhaps the next season can revolve around a senior prank involving laxative brownies going entirely wrong, although that crime doesn't sound accurate to the show's title, unless "vandalizing bowels" is a thing. Perhaps the show will shake up its title for Season 2 should the subject matter change, or they might just find another way to pull off a vandalism crime that doesn't utilize the same ideas as Season 1. Either way, we're watching.
American Vandal (opens in new tab) will return for Season 2 sometime in 2018. That's another successful series in Netflix's growing roster, and no doubt Season 2 will see some of that massive chunk of money the service recently borrowed to put towards programming.

I love the Marshall Plan. I am plotting a novel now, but I am confused about one thing. I want my romantic involvement to come into the novel around section sheet 8, which means he wouldn't be Viewpoint character #1. Is that a problem that I am varying a little from the plan? It just makes a greater impact having him come in later, even though the MP says it should be at section sheet 6 as View point character 1. Any suggestions?
In my opinion, you should go ahead and plot the first section that is from your romantic involvement's point of view however feels best to you. If you feel you should begin the romantic involvement POV in section 8, I say go ahead and put it there. I love the structure of the MP, but I also think you should trust your own instincts in applying the MP plotting guidelines. You can also try it both ways and see which structure feels better to you in the overall flow of the plot. I hope that helps. Thanks for your comment and for visiting. Let me know how your novel is coming, too! Happy writing.
Thanks Elizabeth! That really helps. This is my first novel, so I don't want to vary too far from a proven method, esp. one that has been a great help so far.

Q: How to Find HTML-Encoded Character in JavaScript String? How would you go about finding a string constant that is not HTML-safe?
It appears the following searches for the individual characters.
var i = text.indexOf('»')

A: You'll first need to unescape the HTML in the pattern:
var i = text.indexOf(decodeHTML('»'));

function decodeHTML(s) { // e.g. using jQuery
    return $('<div>' + s + '</div>').text();
}

A: Try looking at the html directly.
document.getElementById('search').innerHTML.indexOf('»')

A: var i = text.indexOf('\273')

would search for the actual character.

Q: How do I clone an Azure Managed Disk into a different subscription? Using Azure VMs and managed disks (using the ARM deployment model), I have recently run into the following problem I would like to solve: In order to get production data out from a managed disk for testing purposes, I would like to clone a production data disk from the "Production Subscription" into a managed disk in the "Development Subscription", where I can play around with the data in a safe way.
We are talking quite a lot of data (200 GB+), so that an actual "copying" process would take far too much time. I want to be able to automate things and provision new environments in - let's say, under half an hour.
Cloning a managed disk within a subscription (given it's in the same region) is very simple and fast, I just have to specify a --source to the az disk create command. This does not work across subscriptions obviously, at least because the logged in user/service principal for the development subscription does not have access to the production subscription resources.
What I have tried so far:

*

*Using az disk grant-access to retrieve an SAS URI for the managed disk; this thing is not accepted as a --source for az disk create though (it says VHD SAS links would work though...)

Any ideas?

A: I did this:
$RG = "youresourcegroup"
$Location = "West US 2"
$StorageAccName = "yourstorage"
$SkuName = "Standard_LRS"
$Containername = "images"
$Destdiskname = "yorblob.vhd"
$SourceSASurl = "https://yoursaasurl"

Login-AzureRmAccount

New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name $RG -Location $Location
New-AzureRmStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $StorageAccName -SkuName $SkuName -kind Storage -Location $Location

$Storageacccountkey = Get-AzureRmStorageAccountKey -ResourceGroupName $RG -Name $StorageAccName
$Storagectx = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $StorageAccName -StorageAccountKey $Storageacccountkey[0].Value

$Targetcontainer = New-AzureStorageContainer -Name $Containername -Context $storagectx -Permission Blob

$sourceSASurl = $mdiskURL.AccessSAS
$ops = Start-AzureStorageBlobCopy -AbsoluteUri $SourceSASurl -DestBlob $Destdiskname -DestContainer $Containername -DestContext $Storagectx
Get-AzureStorageBlobCopyState -Container $Containername -Blob $Destdiskname -Context $Storagectx -WaitForComplete

After this you will have a copy of managed disk in your subscription stored as a regular blob.
Be careful, you should obtain SAS URL from Production subscription, but in the script you should login to a Development subscription.
Next you can go to the Azure Portal and convert the blob to managed disk.

*

*Go to Azure portal --> More Services --> Disks or directly browse this URL https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.ManagedDisk-ARM

*Click +Add

*Select source as storage blob

*Select your vhd using source blob field.

A: Here's the script I wrote to migrate all managed disks for each VM from one subscription to another. I hope this helps you.
# This script will get ALL VMs in a subscription and then migrate the disks

    "Resource Group " + $vmrg.resourcegroupname + " has been created"
    } else {"Resource Group " + $vmrg.resourcegroupname +  " already exists"}
    # Move the disks after all checks are done
    foreach ($disk in $managedDisk){
        $managedDiskName = $disk.Name
        $targetResourceGroupName = $vmrg.resourcegroupname

        $diskConfig = New-AzureRmDiskConfig -SourceResourceId $disk.Id -Location $disk.Location -CreateOption Copy

        New-AzureRmDisk -Disk $diskConfig -DiskName $Disk.Name -ResourceGroupName $targetResourceGroupName}
}
}

A: You can use the following commands in Azure CLI -
# Source storage account name
STORAGE1=sourcestorage

#Security key of the source storage account
STORAGEKEY1= SampleKey0qNzttE/EX3hHfcFIzkQQmqXklRU2Z2uANICw==

#Container containing the source VHD

#Specify the above properties for target
STORAGE2=targetstorage
STORAGEKEY2= SampleKeyAb6FYP3EqFVEcN2cc5wO QHzXvdc7Gzh1qRt0FXKq6w==
CONTAINER2= targetvhds

After setting the above parameters, execute the following command in Azure CLI -
azure storage blob copy start --account-name $STORAGE1 --account-key $STORAGEKEY1 --source-container $CONTAINER1 --source-blob $Disk --dest-account-name $STORAGE2 --dest-account-key $STORAGEKEY2 --dest-container $CONTAINER2


Pharmacy / Chemists in Accra?

No controlled substances, just common drugs like EffexorXR, Remeron and synthroid (or its generic equivalents). Seems I miscalculated on my 90 days supply and mailing can take 3 weeks or longer' plus I've heard various stories on its legality, and a courier is crazy expensive from Canada. Also, are pharmacies as regulated here as in North America, or will just take your money if you can provide some kind of prescription? My Dr. is pretty good about electronic communications, so as long as there isn't anything addictive or the can be abused, will I have any issues? As always, thanks in advance.

FDA approves COVID booster shots: Agency says transplant patients and others with weakened immune systems can get third shot of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine
U.S. regulators on Thursday said transplant recipients and others with severely weakened immune systems can get an extra dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to better protect them as the Indian Delta variant continues to surge.
The late-night announcement by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) applies to several million Americans who are especially vulnerable due to organ transplants, certain cancers or other disorders.
No guidance was given for people who had Johnson & Johnson's single-shot COVID-19 vaccination.
Several other countries, including France and Israel, have similar recommendations.
It's harder for vaccines to rev up an immune system suppressed by certain medications and diseases, so those patients don´t always get the same protection as otherwise healthy people - and small studies suggest for at least some, an extra dose may be the solution.
Such people – including cancer and HIV patients – in general do not produce an adequate immune response after receiving two doses of a vaccine, U.S. officials say
Growing evidence has suggested select immunocompromised patients mount a diminished protective immune response, even after two doses of vaccine
'Today´s action allows doctors to boost immunity in certain immunocompromised individuals who need extra protection from COVID-19,' Dr. Janet Woodcock, the FDA's acting commissioner, said in a statement.
The FDA determined that transplant recipients and others with a similar level of compromised immunity can receive a third dose of the vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna at least 28 days after getting their second shot.
The announcement comes as the extra-contagious Delta version of the coronavirus surges through much of America, pushing new cases, hospitalizations and deaths to heights not seen since winter 2020.
According to Dr. Janet Woodcock, today's COVID-19 climate allows doctors to boost immunity in certain immunocompromised individuals who need extra protection from coronavirus
Importantly, the FDA´s decision only applies to a specific high-risk group, estimated to be no more than 3% of U.S. adults.
It's not an opening for booster doses for the general population.
Instead, health authorities consider the extra dose part of the initial prescription for the immune-compromised.
For example, France, since April has encouraged that such patients get a third dose four weeks after their regular second shot. Israel and Germany also recently began recommending a third dose of two-dose vaccines.
Separately, U.S. health officials are continuing to closely monitor if and when average people's immunity wanes enough for to be required - but for now, the vaccines continue to offer robust protection for the general population.
Dr. Fauci told several news networks, including NBC and CNN, that COVID-19 Booster shots are needed for those who are immunocompromised
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to formally recommend the extra shots for certain immune-compromised groups after a meeting on Friday with its outside advisers.
Transplant recipients and others with suppressed immune systems know they're at more risk than the average American and some have been seeking out extra doses on their own, even if it means lying about their vaccination status.
The change means now the high-risk groups can will have easier access to get another shot - but experts caution it's not yet clear exactly who should.
'This is all going to be very personalized,' cautioned Dr. Dorry Segev, a transplant surgeon at Johns Hopkins University who is running a major National Institutes of Health study of extra shots for organ recipients.
The FDA determined that transplant recipients and others with weak immune systems can receive a third dose of vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna 28 days after getting double jabbed
For some people, a third dose 'increases their immune response. Yet for some people it does not seem to. We don´t quite know who´s who yet.'
Recently, one study of more than 650 transplant recipients found more than half harbored virus-fighting antibodies after two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines - although generally less than in otherwise healthy vaccinated people. Another study of people with rheumatoid arthritis and similar autoimmune diseases found only those who use particular medications have very poor vaccine responses.
There´s little data on how well a third dose works, and if it causes any safety problems such as an increased risk of organ rejection. Wednesday, Canadian researchers reported that transplant recipients were more likely to have high levels of antibodies if they got a third dose than those given a dummy shot for comparison. Other small studies have similarly found that some transplant recipients respond to a third dose while others still lack enough protection.


Boxers sometimes take rounds off so that they can finish strong. Boxing often does the same. A relatively empty August gave way to a packed September. This October has also been rather slow, but the pace will pick up again in November and December.
The eleventh month of the year begins with a big one: Manny Pacquiao challenging Jessie Vargas for a welterweight world title on Nov. 5. That's one highlight. It's nowhere near the only one. Two of the top light heavyweights in the world will fight each other on Nov. 19. Two of the top names at 130 pounds will face off on Nov. 26.
Then, in December, we get a huge heavyweight fight on Dec. 10 [UPDATE: Nope!] , a legend taking his final bow on Dec. 17, and the usual end-of-the-year extravaganza in Japan.
Nov. 5 — Can Vargas Send Pacquiao Back Into Retirement?
Manny Pacquiao wasn't the best welterweight in the world — Floyd Mayweather Jr. was — but he was still one of the best at 147. That much was clear when Pacquiao concluded his rivalry with Timothy Bradley earlier this year, winning a unanimous decision over Bradley in their third fight. Pacquiao retired afterward to focus on his political obligations in the Philippines, though few believed he would be gone for long.
Indeed, Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 knockouts) missed the sport and announced his comeback. He faces Jessie Vargas on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas for the vacant world title that Vargas won in March with a technical knockout of Sadam Ali.
Vargas is 27-1 with 10 KOs. That lone loss came against Bradley last year, though Vargas did rock Bradley badly in the final seconds. While a few of Vargas' wins came via controversial decisions (one in 2011, two in 2014), the 27-year-old appears to be improving as he gets more experience and comes into his prime.
It's uncertain whether what Vargas has will be enough. After all, we keep on waiting for Pacquiao to get old. He's nearly 38. He isn't what he once was, but what he is has been more than enough to beat most. Pacquiao has balanced various distractions through the years. He believes he can balance being a senator and being a boxer.
Vargas wants to prove Pacquiao wrong — and prove himself in the process.
It's rare enough that two of the best fighters in a division face each other. It's even less often that we get two of the best, pound-for-pound, to share a ring.
But on Nov. 19 in Las Vegas, Sergey Kovalev will defend against Andre Ward. Kovalev's three world titles will be on the line. So will a spot as one of the two best 175-pound fighters around, if not the best, depending on how you feel about Adonis Stevenson. And so will a spot as one of the two best boxers in the world, if not the best — though Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez will still have a strong case for the throne.
Kovalev (30-0-1 with 26 KOs) has been feasting on whomever else has been available for the two-plus years that politics and business interests have prevented a fight with Stevenson from happening. Often there were gimme outings. But there also have been significant victories over the likes of Bernard Hopkins and Jean Pascal.
Ward (30-0, 15 KOs) will be Kovalev's toughest challenge yet by far. The former super middleweight champion is incredibly skilled, gifted and brilliant. He can neutralize his opponents and dominate them. His run through the "Super Six" tournament saw him unseat Mikkel Kessler, outpoint Arthur Abraham and win a decision over Carl Froch.
That tournament concluded in 2011. Ward was remarkably inactive over recent years, fighting once in 2012, once in 2013, not at all in 2014 and once in 2015. His injuries and a battle with his now-former promoter are behind him. This year, he's tested the waters at 175 by winning a decision over prospect Sullivan Barrera and then shutting out a tune-up opponent in Alexander Brand.
Kovalev also represents a tough challenge for Ward. He has the type of power Ward has never seen and would prefer not to feel. This will be one of two stories, then: what will happen if Kovalev lands and what will happen if Ward makes it so that Kovalev can't.
Vasyl Lomachenko left the 126-pound division behind earlier this year because too few of the other top featherweights were available to fight him. He sought opportunities four pounds north, at junior lightweight. Initially, he was expecting to face Nicholas Walters, also a former titleholder at 126. Walters turned down a deal. Lomachenko went on to win a title from Roman Martinez instead.
Walters is finally willing to return after sitting out most of 2016. He and Lomachenko will fight on Nov. 26 in Las Vegas, yet another big fight that month in Sin City.
Lomachenko is 6-1 with 4 KOs, but don't let that record fool you. He was one of the best amateur boxers ever, a two-time Olympic medalist who stepped up much faster than nearly every other fighter does upon turning pro. In his second fight he challenged Orlando Salido, the gritty veteran who has been a tough test for some very good fighters and the downfall of others who overestimated their own skills.
Salido came in more than two pounds overweight and didn't try to drop the rest of the pounds, giving him a size advantage on fight night. Then the referee allowed him to get away with numerous low blows. Even still, Lomachenko was able to battle to a competitive split-decision defeat. Months later, he outpointed Gary Russell Jr. for a vacant world title.
Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) burst on the scene when he chopped down Nonito Donaire in six rounds in late 2014. But he came in overweight for his first defense, winning against Miguel Marriaga but losing his title. That sent Walters up to 130, where he was robbed on the scorecards in a draw with Jason Sosa last December. That was the last we saw of him.
This is a good, potentially difficult fight for both. That's why we boxing fans were so disappointed when it didn't happen earlier this year. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait too much longer for them to fight, and hopefully the fight will have been worth the wait.
– Nov. 5: The televised undercard of Vargas-Pacquiao includes three title fights. Nonito Donaire (37-3, 24 KOs) will defend his junior featherweight belt against unbeaten prospect Jessie Magdaleno (23-0, 17 KOs), who will be taking a huge step up in level of opposition. Oscar Valdez (20-0, 18 KOs) will defend his featherweight belt against Hiroshige Osawa (30-3-4, 19 KOs). And flyweight contender Zou Shiming (8-1, 2 KOs) will vie for a vacant belt against Kwanpichit OnesongchaiGym in a rematch. Shiming knocked OnesongchaiGym down several times in their 2014 bout en route to a wide decision win.
– Nov. 12: Welterweight titleholder Danny Garcia (32-0, 18 KOs) will headline in a non-title bout against Samuel Vargas (25-2-1, 13 KOs). Garcia is looking to shake some rust off ahead of an anticipated unification bout with Keith Thurman expected to take place early in 2017. Vargas has shown he doesn't belong in the ring with the top tier of opposition; he was blasted out in four rounds by Errol Spence back in 2015.
– Nov. 12: Heavyweight contender Luis Ortiz (25-0, 22 KOs) will meet Malik Scott (38-2-1, 13 KOs). Ortiz left Golden Boy Promotions earlier this year in what may turn out to be a wise move. He's since signed with United Kingdom-based Matchroom Boxing, opening the doors to potential fights with more heavyweights than would've previously been available due, as always, to the politics of the sport. Scott has won two straight since being put away in one round by Deontay Wilder.
– Nov. 19: On the Kovalev-Ward undercard, light heavyweight prospect Oleksandr Gvozdyk (11-0, 9 KOs) continues his rapid rise by taking on Isaac Chilemba (24-4-2, 10 KOs), a contender who lost a decision to Kovalev earlier this year.
– Dec. 3: Unified cruiserweight titleholder Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22 KOs) will defend against Murat Gassiev (23-0, 17 KOs). Both fighters have power. Gassiev last demonstrated how heavy his hands are when he knocked Jordan Shimmell out with a single punch in the first round of their May fight.
-Dec. 10: Heavyweight titleholder Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) is expected to defend against former undisputed champion Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs). Klitschko needed an opponent after his rematch with Tyson Fury was once again postponed, this time indefinitely. He also needs the win if he's going to remain in this sport. Joshua would be adding a huge name on his record, trying to take Klitschko out more definitively than anyone has since Wladimir's chinnier days more than a decade ago.
-Dec. 17: Bernard Hopkins turns 52 in January. He hasn't fought in two years, since his shutout loss to Sergey Kovalev. But Hopkins (55-7-2, 32 KOs) never retired, instead saying he was waiting for the right fight so that he could end his career on a high note and with a good challenge. He's found his opponent: Joe Smith (22-1, 18 KOs), a light heavyweight who stunned Andrzej Fonfara with a first-round technical knockout in June.
– Dec. 31: Junior lightweight Takashi Uchiyama (24-1-1, 20 KOs) was one of the longest-reigning beltholders in boxing. But then he met Jezreel Corrales (20-1, 8 KOs) in April. Corrales dropped Uchiyama three times in the second round and got a stunning technical knockout win and the world title. Uchiyama will have a chance to prove that the first fight was a fluke. Corrales will be there to prove that it wasn't.

Dwayne Walker Headed To National Power, Chipola JC
By Anthony Ray June 5, 2018 Updated: June 17, 2018 No Comments3 Mins Read
After a long time of evaluating his college future, AZ Compass Prep's leading scorer from the high school season, 6-foot-3 senior guard Dwayne Walker, has now made his college decision. After failing to qualify academically for the division-I ranks, Walker has decided to go the junior college route.
Recently, Walker gave a big decision, as he elected to sign with one of the nation's elite junior college programs, Chipola Junior College (FL). Chipola has won numerous national championships over the years and has been widely recognized among the top producers of division-I talent over the years. Walker was contacted by numerous junior college programs throughout the year, but decided between two of the nation's elite-level junior college programs in the end, Chipola JC and College of Southern Idaho JC (CSI).
A native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where put up big numbers as a junior, Walker averaged 27 points per/game for a very talented AZ Compass Prep program this high school season. Walker had a big season for AZ Compass, which included a huge 40-point performance against a loaded and terrific Findlay Prep (NV) team in Compass' second game of the high school season.
Walker moved to the state this high school season to improve his exposure to college coaches and develop as a player. Walker attended Juneau High School (WI) as a junior, where he ranked among the elite prospects in the area. As a junior, Walker also averaged terrific numbers - 27 points and 11 rebounds per/game.
Walker received serious interest this season from such college programs as UNLV, New Mexico, Drexel, New Mexico State, Cal State Northridge, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Southern Utah and Portland State, and many others.
After a two-year stint at Chipola JC, Walker should almost have his pick of college programs, as he is a very gifted prospect, on both ends of the floor.
Congratulations to Walker and his family, as well as the AZ Compass Prep coaching staff on this tremendous accomplishment.
Arizona Hoop Review Scouting Report: Walker is a left-handed shooting guard prospect with combo-guard capabilities. He has a nice, pure shooting stroke with a quick release that allows him to get his shot off quite well, while also being able to put the ball on the deck and make plays at a high level for himself towards the basket. He has unlimited range on his shot - a big-time scorer of the basketball. He is a strong finisher at the rim and has very good athleticism for himself - a very good attribute for a combo-guard prospect. Walker is a good ball handler and passer, but he is at his best scoring the basketball, which he does at a high rate. He is a strong rebounder for his size, which suits him nicely. He is also a capable lock-down defender and has excellent lateral quickness, while also being able to play passing lanes quite well. He is strong in the open floor where he thrives, and is a good slasher as well in the half court set. To maximize his potential, Walker will need to prove that he can play the point guard position consistently, and make players around him better in game situations.

NFL fines Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers for violating COVID protocols
1054164154_1767293132.jpg
Rick Scuteri, AP
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (12) is shown during the first half of an NFL football game against the Arizona Cardinals, Thursday, Oct. 28, 2021, in Glendale, Ariz. On Tuesday, NFL officials fined the Packers, Rodgers and another player for violating the league's COVID-19 safety protocols.
Dave Mistich
NFL officials have fined the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Allen Lazard for violating the league's COVID-19 safety protocols.
League officials had launched an investigation into the Packers' adherence to safety protocols after Rodgers, the league's reigning MVP, tested positive for the coronavirus last week.
According to the NFL, Rodgers and Lazard's fines are a result of attending a team-sanctioned Halloween party. With both players not vaccinated, they are prohibited from attending gatherings outside team facilities. The infraction resulted in a $14,650 fine for each player.
The NFL handed the Packers organization a $300,000 fine for their part in not properly enforcing safety protocols, including allowing Rodgers to not wear a mask at press conferences and not disciplining the players despite knowing about the Halloween party after it happened.
ESPN first reported the fines.
With Rodgers sidelined by the diagnosis and league protocols on Sunday, the Packers lost 13-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs. He remains at home as part of a league-imposed 10-day quarantine.
The quarterback's comments on his vaccination status cause a stir
In August, Rodgers told reporters that he had been "immunized" when asked if he'd been vaccinated. He sought an exemption from protocols based on his antibody levels before the season, but the exemption was denied.
Speaking Tuesday on YouTube and SiriusXM's "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers discussed his decision to not be vaccinated and earlier comments he has made on the subject.
"I shared an opinion that's polarizing," Rodgers told McAfee, a former NFL punter and kicker who has garnered a wide audience commentating on sports. "I get it. And I misled some people about my status, which I take full responsibility of, those comments. But in the end, I have to stay true to who I am and what I'm about. I stand behind the things that I said."
Discussing vaccines four days before on the same outlet, Rodgers explained his reasons for avoiding a shot.
The star quarterback said he sought alternative treatments rather than the NFL-endorsed vaccinations because he is allergic to an ingredient in the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. He did not specify the ingredient in question.
Mixed reactions from those who endorse Rodgers
Rodgers also said Friday he became caught "in the crosshairs of the woke mob" and wanted to tell his side of the story "before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket."
Over the weekend, Wisconsin-based Prevea Health said it had ended its nine-year endorsement deal with Rodgers. The company's announcement said it was a mutual parting.
State Farm issued a statement Monday saying it disagrees with some of Rodgers' statements, but respects his right to have his own opinion, an indication it would keep its relationship with one of its high-profile endorsers.
Rodgers said Tuesday he doesn't feel a need to address the commentary that has followed his remarks about why he didn't get vaccinated.
"I'm an athlete. I'm not an activist," he said. "I'm going to get back to doing what I do best, and that's playing ball."
The 37-year-old quarterback says he's feeling better and that he believes there's only "a small possibility" he wouldn't be available for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The earliest he could return to the team is Saturday.

From left to right, on the bench: Tamara, Aziza, Raim, Dragan, Denis, Zorica, Grada, Bojan, Samira. In front: Marina, Mira, Zika, Lidija, Emanuela, Miljana, Andreas, Andrijana, Petar (missing: Nikola, because he took the photo!)
Hotel Gracanica has opened its doors on 13 April 2013, as a common project of three friends. Two were Kosovo Roma and the third Swiss, Andreas Wormser, who still runs the hotel together with Lidija Fazliu and Aziza Ramić, the first half Albanian, half Serb, the other from the Roma community.
The architect was Bujar Nrecaj, a Swiss of Kosovar origin, who returned to Kosovo after its independence to help build up the country.
The "c" in Gračanica in our hotel logo is a combination of the Serbian and Albanian letters; the diacritic above the "c" is Serbian, the diacritic below the "c" is Albanian. This is to illustrate the multi-ethnic character of our hotel.
In the logo we originally had three stars instead of the three poppies, because according to Swiss standards the hotel would have three and a half stars. But the state star commission only gave us two stars. That's why we replaced the stars with the poppies typical of Kosovo.
Our staff are mainly Roma and Serbs. We would very much like to employ more Albanians, but it has proven difficult to find the right candidates.
We built the hotel with local companies and craftsmen and as far as possible with local materials. In construction and interior design, we chose eco-friendly and long-lasting materials wherever feasible.
We use geothermal energy from eleven 110 m deep drill holes for heating and cooling, and our pool has solar heating.
We have our own sewage treatment plant and use the recycled wastewater as well as collected rainwater for gardening.
We recycle all waste that can be recycled.
Where feasable, we buy our fruit, vegetables, dairy products and meat mostly from local small farmers, favoring those who produce organically and raise animals humanely. All our eggs and chicken meat come from free range chicken.
We employ people from all ethnic communities and pay them salaries considerably above average.
A fountain with our mineral water, which can heal different diseases, is placed next to the entrance of the hotel accessible to all.
Through Pack for a Purpose, we support The Ideas Parnership Learning Center for Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian (click here to find out how you can help by using spare space in your suitcase to bring supplies!).

Q: How to get the Outlook mail item's size? 'm writing an Outlook Add-in for Outlook 2007. This is a VSTO 3.0 , C# add-in. I capture the send event in the add-in and then check some of the Email properties (Which is being sent out) and based on that display some alert.
When I try to get the total size of email using mailItem.Size, it always returns 0 while the actual size of email is not 0. And if I save the email (mailitem.Save()) then mailItem.Size returns the correct size of the mail.
Does any one know about reason behind this behavior . Is there any otherway to get the email size ?

A: yes, this is the default behavior in Outlook.
I suggest you save it (MailItem.Save) before you send it.
Saving the email will place it in the drafts folder...but who cares because you will now check its size (MailItem.Size) and send it (MailItem.Send).

A:

Does any one know about reason behind this behavior . Is there any otherway to get the email size ?

AFAIK, This is the default behavior in Outlook. You cannot get the size till the time you save/send it.
You can however check for the Attachment size or the Body Length if that helps?

DENVER — China's overseas purchases and imports of pork and pork products in calendar year 2008 were unprecedented for any single country in history, according to U.S. Meat Export Federation calculations from just-released Chinese trade data.
Based on import totals from China and Hong Kong, the country imported 4.2 billion pounds of pork and pork products last year, including nearly 2.6 billion pounds of pork variety meats and 1.7 billion pounds of pork cuts.
Available trade data suggests that China's imports eclipsed the previous single-year record of 2.2 billion pounds of pork imported by Japan in 2005.
Although final data for 2008 is not yet in, the federation estimates that total U.S. pork and pork product exports to China and Hong Kong reached 851 million pounds valued at nearly $700 million in 2008.
The EU and Brazil were the other major pork suppliers to the region.
Haggard believes it is unlikely that China's pork imports this year will match last year's record. Increased industry profitability last spring, coupled with a range of hog raising subsidies, has resulted in a substantial expansion of China's herd, and lower hog and pork prices.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, by the end of the third quarter of 2008, China's live hog inventory had increased 6.6 percent from the year-earlier figure, and the sow population increased 12.4 percent.
Total marketed hogs increased 5.8 percent and meat production was up approximately 6 percent.
Although the post lunar new year early spring period usually marks the annual low point in demand, the federation has heard reports of serious respiratory disease outbreaks that could be adding a bearish tone to the market.
That said, the federation expects imported variety meat demand to hold through 2009, although U.S. muscle cuts face stiffer competition from domestic supplies.
On Jan. 12, China's National Development and Reform Commission, the state's leading macroeconomic planning and policy agency under the State Council, in concert with key ministries including the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, AQSIQ and the Ministry of Finance, announced a new temporary pork price stabilization program ostensibly designed to smooth out the country's volatile hog cycle.
Specifically, the program establishes an early warning system for low live hog and pork prices based upon the ratio of live hog to grain prices.
As the live hog to corn price index drops, the program sets triggers for different policy actions by central and local authorities, ranging from mandating government purchases of pork for reserves to restricting imports and stimulating exports if prices drop into a "red" zone range.
China's first new central policy document of the new lunar year of the ox pledged "tough" measures to support rural areas and agriculture this year. China noted that rural areas face the most difficult challenges during the global economic downturn.
With 40 percent of rural income dependent on nonfarm work, such as manufacturing jobs in coastal factories, the loss of overseas demand will translate directly into pain for the rural sector.
Results of a new Chinese survey estimate that 15 percent of migrant rural workers — approximately 20 million people — have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis.
A number of subsidy increases have been announced for the rural sector in addition to those for the hog-raising sector, including farm machinery and appliance purchasing subsidies, and a 16 percent rise in the minimum purchase price for grain.


I was asked the other day how I went about setting up and settling into practicing yoga at *home.
Setting up in the very beginning was pretty simple. I already had a mat and as the boys of the household were on an extended visit to the UK, I moved the dining room table and lit some candles to make my very own yoga space. Then when the boys returned home (and wanted to eat) I nabbed what was our office at the time and turned it into a tiny "yoga studio".
Settling in took longer; for the first month I followed the 30 day yoga challenge clips on the Do You Yoga You Tube channel. None of their online yoga sessions are any longer than 20 minutes so it wasn't a huge sacrifice time wise over the 30 days yet it definitely allowed me to ingrain daily yoga into my life.
Two months after completing the 30 day yoga challenge I often find myself revisiting my favorite 30 day challenge classes. Day 24 (no sweat morning yoga) is one I often select when I just want some time on my mat and don't necessarily want a "work out". Even now I still practice yoga on a daily basis only the time spent and the intensity of the practice changes day to day depending on what my body, mind and soul require in that present moment.
The biggest advantage of a home practice is that YOU decide what YOU need right in that present moment.
When I go to an "studio with a real live teacher" the class has been planned out and although I can make changes to some extent to make their practice suit my needs that day, I'm still following the path that they lay out. When I practice alone I get to choose the direction.
I don't have to work around a timetable.
I'm able to "teach" my kids.
What kids see, day in and day out becomes their norm. That's why you often hear the phrase "break the cycle" in relation to domestic violence or welfare dependency. Monkey see, monkey do … My little monkeys are so used to yoga being a part of our household that they often come and ask me to put on an online kids yoga class and then happily pick a mat each and get their yoga on.
Honestly? The only essential item is an uncluttered space big enough for you to lie down. That's it!
The only thing I'd strongly suggest is that unless you have a pretty solid yoga background you attend some classes at a yoga studio where a teacher can check your form and make hands on adjustments. That way you understand what each pose should feel like. I attend at least one class per week and the teacher often makes slight adjustments which I then can then apply during my home practice. Win/Win!
If you do decide that practicing at home is something that you would like to try let me know how it goes.

Fostering audio innovation across the globe.
We have a passion for audio.
As a young ambitious team, we work relentlessly to accomplish the vision of Resonado: setting the new standard for the speaker industry.
Resonado is an American company founded in 2017 by four students at the University of Notre Dame with the vision to enhance the way the world experiences sound.
Today, Resonado is an award-winning startup that designs and develops audio systems with its patented Flat Core Speaker (FCS) technology which allows businesses to foster product innovation in ways they've never been able to before. Resonado has rapidly gained traction by generating interest from over a dozen prospective clients. These include prominent corporations in the Automotive, Home Audio, Consumer Electronics, Marine industries.
Flat Core Speaker technology is quite literally an iconic innovation. Just like the floppy disk is barely recognized by today's generation when they see the save icon, the original speaker will barely be recognized by tomorrow's generation when they see the volume icon. We can foster fresh innovation for every product that produces sound – from consumer electronics, to cars, to theaters, to entire stadiums. The possibilities are endless.
The story of the core technology began in early 2000's with Mr. LH Cho, our CTO and the original inventor of this novel technology. As a young engineer with a brilliant and restless mind, Mr. LH Cho was constantly tinkering on projects around his home. One such project was a personalized digital photo frame for his beloved wife's birthday. As he was building the frame, Mr. LH Cho's son, Brian, walked into his workshop holding two speakers. Brian knew his mother was an avid music lover.
Since that day, Mr. Cho has put the finishing touches on what is now patented FCS technology: the first structural speaker innovation that could scale to any size, reproduce a full frequency range, all with improved efficiency. Seeing the potential of his invention, he started the R&D center in South Korea and few years later, Resonado was founded as in the United States to fully commercialize the technology.

Bradley Wiggins reveals he was sexually abused by coach when he was 13: 'I was groomed'
Zac Goodwin
The 2012 Tour de France winner said he did not feel he could speak up at the time due to a difficult relationship with his stepdad
Tom Evans
Published tuesday 19 April 2022 - 09:02
Sir Bradley Wiggins has revealed he was sexually groomed by a coach when he was just 13 years old.
The 2012 Tour de France winner and three-time Olympic champion said: "I was groomed by a coach when I was younger – I was about 13 – and I never fully accepted that."
Asked if he was groomed sexually, Wiggins added: "Yes. It all impacted me as an adult…I buried it.
"My stepfather was quite violent to me, he used to call me a f****t for wearing Lycra and stuff, so I didn't think I could tell him.
"I was such a loner…I just wanted to get out of the environment. I became so insular.
"I was quite a strange teenager in many ways and I think the drive on the bike stemmed from adversity."
Sir Bradley Wiggins with son Ben Wiggins
Sir Bradley, 41, made the revelation in an interview with Men's Health 'Talking Heads' columnist Alastair Campbell in the May issue of the magazine, which goes on sale on April 20.
He has previously spoken about suffering from depression and a difficult childhood.
Sir Bradley said he had spent much of his life trying to understand his relationship with his father, Australian cyclist Gary Wiggins, who walked out on the family when Bradley was young and who died in 2008 following a fight at a house party.
"It was definitely to do with my dad," he said when asked what he had tried to run from in his life.
He added: "Never getting answers when he was murdered in 2008. He left us when I was little, so I met him for the first time when I was 18. We rekindled some kind of relationship but then we didn't speak for the last couple of years before he was murdered…
"He was my hero. I wanted to prove myself to him. He was a good cyclist – he could have been really good – but he was a wasted talent. He was an alcoholic, a manic depressive, quite violent and he took a lot of amphetamines and (sports) drugs back then."
Sir Bradley reached the pinnacle of his sport in 2012, when he became the first British winner of the Tour before winning Olympic gold in the time trial in London just days later.
Sir Bradley is still involved with cycling, via his son Ben
Though he had further successes – winning the world time trial in 2014 and a third Olympic team pursuit gold in 2016 – Sir Bradley said 2012 was the year he stopped enjoying professional cycling.
He said: "After winning the Tour de France, then winning at the Olympics, life was never the same again.
"I was thrust into this fame and adulation that came with the success…I'm an introverted, private person.
"I didn't know who 'me' was, so I adopted a kind of veil – a sort of rock star veil. It wasn't really me… It was probably the unhappiest period of my life.
"Everything I did was about winning for other people, and the pressures that came with being the first British winner of the Tour. I really struggled with it."
But Sir Bradley added that he has now found a way to manage his mental health.
"I have to have routine," he said. "Training every day, it's important. Not drinking too much…with my depression, if I'm not looking after myself it manifests more like a mania.
"I always thought of depression as taking you to a dark room in a stoop. I try to be funnier and end up being shocking and contentious."

Can You Get Rich Selling Fishing Tackle?
It's a good question. Can you really get rich selling fishing tackle and/or tackle and sporting goods? Think about it: out of a 5,000 square foot store, how many rods, reels, and lures can you realistically sell?
The problem is compounded by the notoriously low margins resident with fishing tackle. And for many parts of the country, winter slows sales down considerably. Granted, it's a fun business to be in, but most of us are doing it for a living. And if you are working both hard and diligently, why shouldn't you succeed to the point of generating substantial wealth over the years?
I have been in the tackle industry most of my life and fortunately built a business that has rewarded me richly. Some might say I got really lucky, while others might speculate that I inadvertently ran into the honey train!
No folks, my success was the result of a lot of mistakes, hard work, experimentation, determination and a rock hard resolution to find both big sales and handsome margins. And, in most cases, one has to step out of the warm fuzzy zone and experiment with products, promotions, and selling tools that promote big sales and profits. Doing like everyone else, usually will not catapult you to the top.
Let's get specific. If you look at those who hit the big time, most of them brought innovation to the public. In some cases, store and selection size was enough to get the public's attention and purchases. Others have made their "bones" with inventive marketing options such as through catalog sales, internet selling or the offering amazing bargains.
But aside from the big box stores, Wal-Mart and Amazon, there are lots of success stories about tackle/sporting goods retailers who have built very successful business and who have become financially comfortable in the process. So, what do these "standouts" have in common?
Usually, these retail "champions" have somewhat larger stores, typically something north of 8,000 square feet, something in the 10,000 to 15,000 square feet range. Most notable, however, is their willingness to try new merchandise categories and methods of reaching their customer base.
Within their stores, and well combined with tackle and sporting goods, will be a profusion of products that have some relevance to the great outdoors and with an appeal to most consumers who spend time enjoying nature. At the top of the list will be new products or categories coming to the market.
Secondarily, the inclusion of all forms of apparel for men and women, footwear, headwear and accessories add sales, gross profit dollars and builds consumer loyalty. The retailer that states, "I'm a tackle store not a clothing store" is missing the point and the opportunity for incremental sales and profits.
Additionally expand your sales of margin rich merchandise either by buying it much cheaper or changing your merchandise mix to include a much higher percentage of high margin products. Alternatively, purchase a larger number of closeouts, join a buying group or consider either direct import of port of entry purchases, all of which will yield large margins.
If you want to be a retailer with considerable net worth, focus on any product or category that will generate sales and consumer following. Experiment a lot: jettison the failures and embrace the winners. Lastly, don't follow the pack but rather lead the pack! If your net worth is not increasing year over year, it's time to reassess both what you are doing and how you are doing it.
Your net worth will appreciate this new direction!


Wow! That's what I imagine all the kids will be saying when they arrive at Emmanuel Faith for VBS this summer. If they're in Escondido at the new Children's Center the bright carpets themes and colors really will create a fun environment for learning, fun, and praise… When there's a big event the four large Moderco 742 paired panel partitions easily pocket away, but when breaking into smaller groups the setup is quick and classrooms are maximized. The office and small group spaces also allow for multiple meetings and small prayer groups. Building God's Way Architects really designed a masterpiece here and it was brought together very well by Erickson-Hall Construction.


The metatarsals are five long bones that lead up to the base of each toe. The fifth metatarsal is the prominent bone on the outside of the foot, and is unique when compared to the other four metatarsals for a number of reasons: it is the only metatarsal with extrinsic tendon attachments. The peroneus brevis and peroneus tertius tendons both attach to the base of the 5th metatarsal, and function to rotate the foot outward and help to prevent ankle sprains. Additionally, the base of the 5th metatarsal has very little skin and soft tissue coverage on the outside and bottom of the foot. This puts the bone at increased risk of fracture and delayed healing of fractures.
Dancer's fractures, also called fifth metatarsal avulsion fractures, are the most common, representing 90-95% of all 5th metatarsal base fractures (Figure 1A). They occur when the ankle is rolled inward. The proposed mechanism of injury is that one of the peroneal tendons attaching to the base of the 5th metatarsal pulls off this part of the bone. However, evidence suggests that a ligament attaching to the nearby cuboid bone may be primarily responsible for the avulsion. Regardless of the actual cause, most of these fractures are stable and can be treated without surgery. However, they can take a number of months to heal completely.
Jones' fractures are fractures of the base of the 5th metatarsal, about a centimeter from the location of avulsion fractures (Figure 1B). Although they can occur with a severe inward sprain or an awkward step, they are usually caused be repeated stress to this location of the bone (i.e., "stress fracture"). Like other stress fractures, Jones' fractures occur in a manner similar to the way that you would break a paper clip (by wiggling it back and forth over and over again, until it breaks with one force). They often occur after repetitive activities (e.g. sports). They tend to occur in people that have a high arched foot shape or a lower extremity alignment that tends to load the outside of the foot (e.g., being "bow legged").
Often Jones' fractures can be treated without surgery. However, they have a tendency to recur because even after they have healed, the underlying reason why they occurred (weight-bearing tendencies of the foot) is still present. Therefore surgical treatment of a Jones' fracture may be recommended, particularly in young, active people, in order to prevent recurrence of the fracture or non-healing of the fracture.

Inside the tooth is a small space called the root canal. The root canal contains the dental pulp which consists of nerves and blood vessels. If the dental pulp becomes diseased and dies due to decay or trauma, toothache and/or an abscess may occur. At this stage, either root canal treatment (also called endodontic treatment) or removal of the tooth (extraction) are the only treatment options.
Your dentist will clean out the inside of the root canal and remove the infection with small files and antibacterial cleaning liquid. The treatment takes several visits with the tooth dressed with an antibacterial temporary filling in-between appointments. At the final appointment, your dentist will place a filling inside the root canal which seals up the space and stops bacteria getting back into the root canal system.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the tooth and this is usually very effective. Rarely, a tooth may be difficult to numb and your dentist will discuss options with you. Toothache usually subsides after the first root canal appointment but it is important the treatment is completed as otherwise the infection is likely to return.
If the root canal is able to be fully cleaned and sealed, the success rate is generally high. However, the success is affected by a number of factors, such as the shape of the root canal, how long the infection has been present and the health of the patient (we rely on the patient's immune system to help fight the infection caused by bacteria living in the root canal).
It is also important that the tooth is restored with a crown after root canal treatment is finished as this will help to protect the tooth from breaking and also reduce the risk of bacteria getting back into the root system.
The root canals are very fine and curved, particularly in the back teeth, so it may be difficult to completely clean the canals which will affect the long term success of the treatment.
Occasionally, a piece of file may break off in the root canal due to the strain on the fine instrument. Sometimes it is possible to remove the broken file but they can also be sealed as part of the root filling and this generally doesn't affect the success of the root canal treatment.
Pain or discomfort may occur between appointments due to ongoing tenderness of the tissue around the tooth, a flare-up of an abscess or a hair-line crack in the root.
If the root canal treatment fails, the tooth may need to be removed.
