Pelosi requests Trump impeachment articles move forward — what now?
by: Anna Wiernicki and Nexstar
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Nexstar) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave the green light to the House Judiciary Committee to start drafting the Articles of Impeachment.
Pelosi says President Trump abused his power by pressuring the Ukrainian President for political favors.
"The president leaves us no choice but to act because he is trying to corrupt, once again, the election for his own benefit," says Pelosi.
Texas Republican Congressman Will Hurd sits on the intelligence committee that investigated the President. He says the President's actions were wrong, but not impeachable.
"Was there evidence of bribery or extortion?" asks Hurd. "I haven't seen that in the over hundred hours of depositions and hearings that I have participated in."
If the President is impeached, the Senate will hold a trial to decide if he should be removed from office.
That's where the white house says it's ready to fight.
Pam Bondi, Special Advisor to the President, says the White House is gearing up for a fair trial in the Senate.
"The President has done nothing wrong," Bondi says.
When a Senate trial could happen is still up in the air, however. The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold another hearing on Monday.
More Washington-DC Stories
by The Associated Press, By JILL COLVIN and ALEXANDRA JAFFE / Jan 15, 2021
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence has called his soon-to-be successor Kamala Harris to offer his congratulations, according to two people familiar with the conversation.
It's the first known contact between the elected members of the outgoing and incoming administrations. President Donald Trump has not reached out to President-elect Joe Biden or invited him to the White House, and has instead spent the weeks since he lost the Nov. 3 election holed up at the White House, trying to undermine the legitimacy of Biden's win with baseless claims of mass voter fraud that culminated in last week's violent storming of the Capitol building.

Conflict Over the Name "Macedonia" Part of Larger Struggle for the Future of Greece
Greek authorities and the media may choose to brand the protesters "fascists," "nationalists," "xenophobes" or any number of other epithets, in an attempt to delegitimize them and their concerns. But what is fascist about being leery of U.S. and NATO intentions in the Balkans or opposing the nationalist, expansionist ambitions of a neighboring state?

Halladay leads Phillies past Padres
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Roy Halladay pitched seven innings in his first start since his perfect game, working out of trouble to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Friday night.
Shane Victorino homered and scored the go-ahead run on Jayson Werth's two-out, bases-loaded walk against Mat Latos in the fifth.
Halladay (8-3) allowed 10 hits and walked one, but held San Diego to two runs in his first game since his gem at Florida last Saturday. The right-hander received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 45,080 as he walked in from the bullpen.
Jose Contreras and J.C. Romero combined to pitch the eighth, and Brad Lidge tossed a perfect ninth inning for his second save.
Latos (5-4) issued a season-high four walks in five innings, yielding three runs and four hits. The righty entered with a 1.29 ERA in his previous five outings.
The Phillies managed only five hits and struck out 11 times. They were coming off a 2-7 trip to NL East rivals New York, Florida and Atlanta.
Halladay singled with one out in the third and scored on Victorino's homer to right field.
Tony Gwynn Jr. hit an RBI single in the second and Adrian Gonzalez added a sacrifice fly in the fifth for NL West-leading San Diego, which lost right fielder Will Venable in the fifth inning when he jammed his neck sliding into third. He was replaced by Chris Denorfia.
Halladay singled with one out in the third and scored on Victorino's ninth homer.
Umpire Jim Joyce, whose blown call at first base cost Detroit pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game on Wednesday, was at third for the first game of the series. He was greeted with a smattering of boos during pregame introductions.
NOTES: Phillies LHP J.A. Happ (left forearm strain) pitched two innings in an extended spring training game, throwing 28 pitches. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Happ felt "comfortable," and is scheduled to pitch three innings for Single-A Clearwater on Tuesday. ... Phillies reliever Ryan Madson (broken right big toe) had the walking boot removed from his foot. ... Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins (strained right calf) took batting practice. ... San Diego reinstated C Yorvit Torrealba from the restricted list, and optioned Dusty Ryan to Triple-A Portland. ... Padres SS Everth Cabrera, (strained hamstring), took grounders before the game.

Reform is needed in human capital management, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). As we've entered the 21st century, this need has increased, and is compounded by long-term fiscal management issues and ever-changing threats to national security.
The GAO says that in order to address the complex challenges faced by individual agencies, the Government sector and the nation as a whole, we must focus on our most valuable asset: human capital. Without the support of qualified individuals with the experience and drive necessary to make change happen, the efforts of agencies to prepare for and protect their constituents against modern challenges and threats are fruitless.
Unfortunately, many Government agencies are stuck in their old model of thinking. They lack modern methods for classifying, compensating, developing and motivating employees to embrace the change needed for today's fast-paced environment. Many Government employees are continuously in a state of turmoil, as constant political upheaval threatens to change programs that have existed for decades. Government sector employees must be adaptable to rapid change and willing to accommodate last-minute policy changes and even drastic procedural revisions.
The GAO acknowledges that within some sectors, progress has been made in managing the human capital investment. However, a Government-wide reform in the way we address and manage our most valuable asset is critical to the forward motion of any initiative.
About one-third of Federal employees working 5 years ago have reached or will reach retirement eligibility age by the end of 2012. A mass retirement exodus is leaving many Federal agencies and sectors at a significant disadvantage. Training costs can be substantial, especially for higher-level employees. Even for lower-level positions, agencies take a risk in hiring new talent and training them on the specifics of their job duties, which often involve high-security tasks.
Human capital management has been a high risk for Government agencies since 2001. The GAO brings attention to the importance of human capital in achieving an agency's mission and goals within ever-challenging fiscal constraints. Even as some employees retire, replacing older workers can be costly, as starting wages are much higher than just a few decades ago.
The GAO has identified five key principles to address during strategic workforce planning. These include: involving top management and other stakeholders in planning, determining future critical competencies, developing strategies to address anticipated gaps, building the administrative and educational capability to support those strategies, and monitoring progress toward goals.
Do you currently have a process linking human capital efforts to program goals?
Do you have the expertise needed to design and implement an effective human capital management program?
Does your agency employ a modern, effective performance management system?
Are precautions in place to ensure the safety and fair treatment of employees?
If you answered "No" to any of the questions above, start by engaging the experts you need to lay the foundation for maximizing your human capital investment. Once you have completed the groundwork, you will be able to develop the strategic plan and culture for nurturing a productive workforce.
Check back soon and look for Part 2 of this article series for more ideas on how to create a positive culture for effective human capital management.

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is a common fungal pathogen causing both localised and systemic infections. The majority of these infections are promoted by biofilm formation, providing a protective matrix for the embedded fungi thereby evading the host immune defence and promoting resistance against anti-mycotic agents. In this study, pH-responsive micellar systems based on poly-(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) and poly 2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) block-copolymers of P(PEGMA-b-DEAEMA) were specifically developed and loaded with the antifungal itraconazole (ICZ) to defeat C. albicans biofilms. The P(PEGMA-b-DEAEMA) di-block polymer micelles demonstrated a particle size of 55 ± 6 nm and high ICZ loads (12.0 ± 0.5% w/w). Within the biofilm's acidic microenvironment, tertiary amines of the pH-sensitive DEAEMA block are protonated, altering their conformation and enhancing the release of the micellar contents. Encapsulation of ICZ within micelles significantly enhanced the activity against C. albicans biofilms, with a significant reduction in the biofilm biomass (>50%) and in the number of viable cells (2.4 Log reduction) achieved, compared with the non-encapsulated ICZ. Confocal microscopy revealed a high affinity and accumulation of the micelles in C. albicans biofilms as a result of their size and specific electrostatic interaction, hence their improved activity. P(PEGMA-b-DEAEMA) based pH-responsive micelles offer significant potential as antifungal carriers for controlling Candida infections.

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2015–Acromio-clavicular joint dislocation is one of the most common shoulder injuries orthopedic surgeons treat. Severe dislocations are often treated with surgery, but patients who opt for non-surgical treatment typically experience fewer complications and return to work sooner, according to new research published today in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma.
"For severe AC joint dislocations, surgery is the common practice but there's not much evidence to suggest this is actually the best treatment," said Dr. Michael McKee, an orthopedic surgeon with St. Michael's Hospital.
"Three months after the initial injury, more than 75 per cent of the patients who did not have AC joint surgical repair were able to return to work, whereas only 43 per cent of those who underwent surgery were back at work," said Dr. McKee.
Because the non-operative patients did not have the dislocation put back into place with surgery, they were more likely to be dissatisfied with the appearance of their shoulder compared to the group who'd received surgery.

The Michelin Energy LX4 tire is a model designed to provide better overall fuel efficiency, while at the same time giving drivers good all-season performance. To enhance fuel economy, Michelin has incorporated EnergySaver technology into the tread that gives the tire much better rolling resistance.
The tire itself features a symmetric design with circumferential grooves and a center rib make for added stability and traction on wet roads, as well as added confidence behind the wheel. Michelin has also added what they call Comfort Control technology into the tread design to give the LX4 a more smooth and comfortable ride out on the highway.
Who Are Michelin Energy LX4 Tires For?
Michelin has designed the Energy LX4 tires for drivers of all types of cars and minivans who are looking for a good value in an all-season radial tire. One that provides for better fuel economy and still maintains a good ride.
Michelin tires backs up the Energy LX4 with one-year or first 2/32″ of wear guarantee on uniformity. There is no treadlife warranty, but you will find a 6-year materials and workmanship guarantee. Michelin provides a first year or 2/32″ of wear free replacement, followed by a prorated amount for the remaining time period.


How many artists have you listened to on last.fm?
i've finally hit 600 on m 22 month aniversary. i'm not sure yet how cool that makes me but i want to shout it all over the rooftops like those lost puppets and i don't know where I'm going with this so i'll stop.
ANSWER MY FRICKING THREAD FOO'S!
Can you make a list? Haha. Which bands only have one play?
If I haven't got time to listen to an album I tend to put on my neighbourhood radio or recommendations so I guess that racks them up a bit.
Unless I've missed the point again like that last Last FMish thread.
in 19 months, but 50 of those have been in the past month or so- I felt I wasn't listening to enough new stuff so went for the recommendations, their similar acts and their similar acts etc. Hey presto, lots of great new stuff.
Similar acts is the best.
Love it. It's got me into so much new stuff. It's getting a bit obscure though. Used to be the same bands popping up all the time now it's pretty much endless.
I am a bit behind listening to rcrdlbl free downloads so when I get up to speed with that I should about 50 or so.
That seems like a lot, I couldn't name half that many bands.
But that's in over two years! Not that great, although some of my friends barely have over 100. And even then it's only about thirty artists with any significant amount of plays...aren't they ever tempted to check out new music??
I've had a fun year.
i pretty much only listen to albums. never listen to compilations. use the radio sometimes at work.
A decent showing it seems.
I did score a free full membership mind so I have been using it more and more.
I'm on 121 I'm disappointed.
mine was Boom! by little wings.
And new bands I don't love often just get a MySpace listen.
i registered my account on 3 May 2003.
but didn't use it until May 2007.
it makes me a bit sad to think of how much totally useless data i'd have access to i'd used it for those extra four years.
Dead kennedy's - kill the poor.
819 in just over 4 years.
I think I pretty much only listened to Will Oldham, Elliott Smith and Diane Cluck in 2006.
since 2004. Quite frightening going, considering I didn't have the internet for the three years I was at uni.
since Aug 2005. Although last.fm often doesn't work on my computer for weeks or months on end, so it would be more. Like I somehow need to justify this figure.
do I have to count them myself or is there a good stats page?
Since the 17th October 2005.

The Healthy Kids, Healthy Teeth campaign is part of the The Poche Indigenous Health Network - an initiative across five universities focussing on particular aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.
The campaign, which was run in partnership with the University of Sydney, used a high tech dental van and a mobile lab to reach very remote communities and provide much-needed dental care.
DCD students are already qualified dentists undertaking a specialisation. Jamie Tham, who is working towards a paediatric specialisation, spent some time in rural NSW with Poche Sydney.
"I expected to see just the minimum facilities and to have to do more hands-on clinical work," he said. "But the team was fantastic and the facilities very impressive."
Because Jamie is already a qualified, practicing dentist, he was able to take on a supervisory role for the Sydney-based student dentists also volunteering with Poche, and work on patients independently.
Joy Ya-Li Huang, also studying the DCD observed the high treatment needs of her patients.
"Home care, diet and lifestyle make a big impact on these children. It was interesting to try and problem-solve and prioritise treatment for these cases,"she said.
Professor David Manton, the Elsdon Storey Chair of Child Dental Health, accompanied the students.
Head of the Dental School, Professor Mike Morgan said the program is a win-win. "These activities provide our graduate students, our staff and our alumni with experience in providing care to groups that might otherwise not readily access oral health services. We benefit and so too do the rural communities."
Many Melbourne Dental School alumni already generously give up their time to help train the next generation of clinicians. Initiatives such as the Healthy Teeth program offers another opportunity for alumni, staff and students to contribute to improved access to oral and dental health.Interested students of dentistry or oral health, and qualified dentists, are invited to contact Kim Szerdahely.

Arab world's ancient links to Philippines forged through trade, migration and Islam — ambassador
By Saeb Rawashdeh - Oct 11,2016 - Last updated at Oct 11,2016
Arab Thought Forum Secretary General Mohammad Abu Hammour introduces Philippine Ambassador to Jordan Junever M. Mahilum-West during a lecture in Amman recently (Photo courtesy of ATF)
AMMAN — Trade, migration and Islam have linked the Philippines and the Arab world since ancient times, according to Philippine Ambassador to Jordan Junever M. Mahilum-West.
During a recent lecture at the Arab Thought Forum, part of a series on the Arab world's relations with other states, the ambassador said the region witnessed globalisation long before the age of European hegemony and colonialism, as economic migrants headed to Asia in search of better opportunities.
The first economic expansion began in the 9th century and lasted until the end of the 15th century, said the diplomat, explaining that Arab traders played a prominent role and used Southeast Asia for stopovers and trading posts.
"Top exports were mother-of-pearl shells, copra, fish and cordage, while top imports were cotton cloth, rice, yarn and thread, and opium," Mahilum-West said.
During this period of intensive trade between the Arab world and Southeast Asia, the migration from the Hadramaut region (southern Yemen) occurred and, consequently, many Arabs settled in the Philippines, Ethiopia, Sudan, India, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, southern Vietnam and China, she emphasised.
"In the case of the Philippines, the ancient Hadrami migration found its way from Islamised areas in the south towards Sulu, the southwestern archipelagic region of the Philippines," she said, adding that the Hadramis settled in Cotabato, Maguindao, Zamboanga, Davao and Bukidnon.
An estimated 2 per cent of Filipinos can claim Arab ancestry, the ambassador noted.
"Today, Muslims comprise around 6 per cent of the Philippine population and Islam is a living religion and a cultural force, especially in Mindanao," Mahilum-West highlighted.
Political and economic relations between the Philippines and the Arab world were boosted in 1970s during the time of oil shocks and political instability in the Philippines.
That decade "ushered the phenomenon of the deployment of Philippine labour to countries which urgently needed workers in the Middle East".
The foreign policy of the Philippines became more diversified, taking in the new realities of "the three O's": oil, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and overseas Filipino workers, the ambassador said.
Saudi Arabia is the top supplier of crude oil to the Philippines, while Qatar is fourth, according to 2015 figures.
Meanwhile, out of a population of 110 million, 2.5 million Filipino workers live in the Middle East, including around 35,000 in Jordan, the diplomat noted.
"The Philippines ranks third highest in the world after India and the People's Republic of China for remittances received from workers abroad," she continued, "pegged at $2.9 billion, which represents 10 per cent of the Philippine GDP".
"The presence of Filipino workers in the Middle East and other parts of the world has prompted the recasting of Philippine foreign policy," stressed the ambassador.
The department of foreign affairs implements three pillars of the Philippine foreign policy: preservation and enhancement of national security; promotion and attainment of economic security; and protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare and interest of Filipinos overseas.
"Present-day globalisation, compared to early precursors of globalisation cited before, is occurring at much more rapid pace and grander scale, thanks to technology.
"ICT and its role in trade liberalisation and movement of people, goods, capital and services have made the whole world into one global interconnected economy," Mahilum-West underscored.
In terms of future opportunities, the ambassador pointed to interfaith dialogue and harmony, South-South cooperation and trade and investment cooperation, among many others.
"This vastly more rapid pace of contemporary globalisation is presenting new opportunities and challenges," she said.

Unclutterer reader Creatrope sent us a terrific do-it-yourself project that is simple and useful.
Step-by-step instructions for how to make a card cable organizer of your own are provided on his site. Thank you, Creatrope, for sharing your idea with us!
What a great idea! I had a little meltdown the other day trying to deal with all the cords under my new desk; I will give this a try.
Great idea–and I think you could use a discarded membership card for an earbud holder, too!
I love this repurposing of one small annoyance to reduce another annoyance!
Those plastic cards have become major clutter in my purse. Every grocery store and shopping club has their own. Plus, some gift cards and movie passes have accumulated through the year.
Has anyone else found a use for the empty Starbucks and obsolete membership cards?
That's great! I love the series of re-purposing articles here.
I've heard that old plastic cards are good for scraping pans that have baked on mess and tried it with some success.
Plastic cards can be cut into guitar picks. You can shape the edges with a nail file or sandpaper.
yeah, that's what I just did to one of mine.
I like this cable rangling idea a lot. For those who aren't familiar with the magazine, THIS is an example of "Ready Made" magazine-type thinking. I love stuff like this.
You can also clip a corner off an old club card or credit card and use it as a grout spreader. My husband and I burst out laughing last night when we saw a commercial for some 'space age' little contraption they're selling for $19.99 to spread grout. First of all, how often does one spread grout? Yeah, right. Secondly, why buy that unitasker? Use a club card.
Club cards make great ice scrapers! I used my old supermarket card one day because I already had the key tag version on a key ring I keep in a pocket in my purse.
I keep the card in my center console and now I'm never left without a scraper when I need it.
Who'd'a thunk it?! — grin — I've used these cards as ice scrapers, label scrapers, and whatnot too. Great forum! I'd like to stick around and learn more!
I use the cards to spread glue on my craft projects.
They are handy for spreading and applying body filler and puddy in body shop.
Use them for scraping and cleaning.
Zip ties hold cords together and give it a more professional look. That is what professionals do. They are cheap, disposable, less time, and don't have personal info engraved on it.
I like this idea! Thanks! Also some of your comments have excellent ideas too.
I've also been using expired airlines frequent flyer cards as luggage tags. They're lots more secure than putting personal identifiable information like your address and phone numbers on a card (helpful if the airline FF number stays the same). Simply punch one hole in a corner, thread a non-removable wire-tie through and voila!
For my laptop I use Laptop Smart Feet to organize my cables and to raise my laptop for better ventilation. I found them at newpcgadgets. Really nice!

Houston bar staff accused of racial discrimination
HOUSTON - Three African American men have accused The Gaslamp, a nightclub in Midtown Houston, of racially profiling them after they were charged a twenty-dollar cover to get in. They said they saw multiple people of color charged a cover that night while other groups of Caucasians were let in free.
"We get educated, we start careers, we do everything right, and we still have to go through this," said Dan Scarborough, an African-American attorney at law in the Houston area.
On September 11, Brandon Ball and his two friends, all attorneys, were asked to pay a twenty-dollar cover charge to get into the Gaslamp located at 2400 Brazos. They decided to go to a different bar instead, but wanted to revisit the issue later in the night.
"We sat across the street from the gas lamp and we just watched for about twenty, twenty-five, to thirty minutes," said Ball. "We saw all types of minorities get turned down, not just black people: Asians, Hispanics.
"I actually went up and talked to various people who had tried to go in," said Ken Piggee, another attorney at law who was with Ball and Scarborough that night. "I talked to a couple of Hispanic gentleman and they had been told that it's a twenty-dollar cover and the same thing with people of other ethnicities."
This past weekend was not the only case race has been an issue with Gaslamp. We found multiple reviews dating back to 2013 where various ethnic groups had complained about what they claimed are Gaslamp's "racist tendencies".
"Other people shouldn't be treated like that," said Piggie. "I don't care about me. As I said, I don't go to these places but other people got treated very shabbily and I think that's a shame."
The attorney of the Gaslamp, Tim Sutherland, told us this past weeks situation was not about racial profiling. He claimed it was because the club was trying to keep an even ratio of guys to girls.
"We didn't deny them entry," said Sutherland. "We requested a cover charge from them on the basis of them being three guys with no females. If you show up and you are a group of males without any females you're typically asked to pay a cover charge and that applies regardless of race."
According to deputy Thomas Gilliland there is now a pending investigation on the deputies tied to Gaslamp. A spokesperson told us they are reviewing whether or not they are going to allow their deputies to work outside that bar since it has been accused of racial discrimination.

The Rise of Outlandish 'Mommy Clubs' that Kate Middleton May Join
By Grace Timothy
Photo: Scott Heavey/Getty Images
After a night back at their Kensington Palace apartments, the duke and duchess of Cambridge fled the hubbub of London for the relative quiet — and swimming pool — of her parents' country estate in Berkshire. The London scene is bereft of its glossy-haired princess. But when William's paternity leave is up this upcoming Monday and he returns to his RAF job in Wales, Kate will likely get sick of Mom and Dad and eventually land back in London with baby George in tow. What then? Like many young parents, they might find their usual crowd conspicuously absent, as cocktail hour and story time clash.
Fortunately for her, London now has a host of private member mothers' clubs, which are basically like other private member clubs (or American country or beach clubs) that have extra room to park the strollers, less strict dress codes — though still designer handbags — and a higher tolerance for crying tots. It used to be that royal babies were raised by nursemaids, governesses, and then nannies in the nursery, but this is a new era. Herewith, a sampling of where you'll find her and her stroller, plus the strange amenities and child-size food that the future king may be weaned on.
Grace Belgravia
At London's first women's-only private members' health club, opened in January, there's a team of pre- and postnatal experts on staff to help new mothers recover from the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. The staff — including the queen's physician, Dr. Timothy Evans (also a co-founder), fitness guru Matt Roberts, and Biontology creator Henri Chenot — create a personalized health plan for women like Kate, for an annual fee of £5,500. It's not just about pampering — co-founder Kate Percival is very clear on that front — but "integrated well-being" to include 24-hour medical advice and home delivery of nutritious food. And if all else fails, they have surgical options on their menu (tummy tuck et al.) to fall back on.
The Mermaid Maternity Retreat
Launched last month by William's third cousin Nick Balfour, this is essentially a hotel that bridges the gap between hospital and home, with midwife, night nurse, breast-feeding expert, chef, cleaner, and masseuse on hand. For a starting price of £795 a night, you can even send your newborn to the nursery while you sleep. A bit extreme? Not when you consider most Chelsea moms will have a night nurse at home to care for their babies overnight, and at least this option comes with a side of freshly prepared fennel mousse or a Hawaiian Lomilomi massage. Kate's natal hypnotherapist, Maggie Howell, is one of the many in-house experts, so rumor has it Middleton will return for follow-up treatment when she's back in London.
The Purple Dragon
Before she takes up her royal duties again, perhaps she'll join power-player mothers like Eva Herzigova and Victoria Beckham at the Purple Dragon (for £4,000 a year), which is known as a family club. Founder Sharai Meyer — dress designer Roland Mouret's business partner — came up with the concept in February 2013, while she was pregnant, and is opening a second London venue next year. As you enter, a valet takes your car, a "play therapist" takes your child to swim in the chlorine-free pool, and you're free to relax in the library. Junior will leave with the kind of life skills every Chelsea child requires: preparing sushi, recording MP3s in the D.J. booth, virtual clay-pigeon shooting, and fashioning hats for Ascot.
Maggie and Rose
If Kate's sticking closer to home, the Kensington branch of Maggie and Rose is the crafty, cozy, but no less well-connected alternative, with an annual fee of £650 per family. Set up by Maggie Bolger and Rose Astor — whose daughter, Grace van Cutsem, is William's goddaughter and was one of Kate's bridesmaids — in 2006, the focus is on your child's personal development. Which basically means someone else will do all the things with paint and glue that kids usually do uncomfortably close to upholstery. That someone might be a woman with the title of Early Years Adviser. Her real name is Jane Ritchie, a.k.a. Prince William's first teacher at Wetherby. Then, come summer, the Chiswick branch (£825 a year) has a roof terrace that rivals Shoreditch House for alfresco showboating.
Beaufort House
One of Prince Harry's favorite Chelsea haunts, Beaufort House (the £400 per year members' club) has become a meeting place for various well-heeled parents, as their Baby Cinema supplies the latest releases, coffee, and lunch to guests accompanied by screaming newborns. It was opened this summer and costs just £10, though guests could probably afford more. Perhaps the royal head-wetting will take place in its Champagne bar, the current hot ticket for first birthdays.
The Arts Club
The Arts Club — originally founded in 1863 to provide a private space for great minds, among them Dickens, Liszt, and Rodin — is billed as a meeting place for creatives and entrepreneurs (who have £1500 annually to spare), but now there's also a vast array of Bugaboos parked within the Mayfair townhouse, which was re-launched in 2011. Set within the kind of immaculate, pastel-toned interior you'd assume wouldn't favor children, there are several members-only events on offer, like Saturday film club and workshops — most recently on drumming, those poor parents. Private celebrations are staged in partnership with Sharky and George (for "Jaw-dropping children's parties"), founded by Pippa Middleton's ex Charlie Astor and his fellow Etonian George Whitefield.
Tom's Kitchen
Just up the road from Kensington Palace, Kate and William visited this informal eatery pre-baby. Now the chef, Tom Aikens, offers a kids' menu, with "mini mains" of macaroni and cheese and crispy chicken, for around £7. The royal couple is likely to return — though perhaps to one of Tom's private rooms.
Granger and Co.
For brunch, the hot destination for the wealthiest wives of Windsor is the surprisingly casual Granger and Co. This London restaurant, opened in 2011, has become very popular among the yummy-mummy set for its Antipodean comfort food — the £13.50 Full Aussie Breakfast in particular — and among their kids for the child's-size scrambled eggs with lashings of cream. More likely it's the deadly mimosa that has Kate's cohorts queuing around the block for a table.

What is Owatonna Forward?
History and Process
Destiny Drivers look to bring big city amenities to Owatonna
Home/Destiny Drivers look to bring big city amenities to Owatonna
OWATONNA — While acknowledging and even embracing the fact that Owatonna is a small town, the people associated with Owatonna Forward say that it is clear that the residents would like to see some big city amenities here.
That, at least, is one of the conclusions that Owatonna Forward derived from a series of public input sessions and an online survey that was open to the public earlier this year.
Owatonna Forward, launched in January 2016, is a grassroots, citizen-driven effort that, according to its website, "seeks to ensure a healthy and prosperous future" for the Owatonna community.
With that in mind, the members of Owatonna Forward — "stewards," they are called — undertook the effort to take the pulse of the community, develop a "Shared Destiny" statement based on what they heard and further delineate specific ideas and projects that the people of Owatonna expressed to see in the city. "Destiny Drivers" is the term they are called.
As part of an ongoing occasional series, presented in the Tuesday and Weekend editions of the Owatonna People's Press — a series which began on Dec. 5 and will continue through Dec. 19 — those destiny drivers are being revealed to the community.
One of the first things said in the statement titled "Our Shared Destiny" refers to a vision that the Owatonna citizens have for the community, according to Owatonna Forward: "Through shared and purposeful action Owatonna will … be a vibrant community with authentic small town charm and big city amenities."
Here then are three more Destiny Drivers — drivers that are being grouped under the heading "Big City Amenities."
Destiny Driver
Develop a Steele County Fairgrounds Destination Plan to fully utilize its potential.
Owatonna hosts the largest county fair in Minnesota, the Steele County Free Fair, drawing over 250,000 annually. This community event is special to Owatonna, but the fairground site is underutilized the remainder of the year. Identifying current and emerging opportunities for the site could be of economic significance for residents and visitors.
Construct an inclusive playground and Miracle League Field to welcome youth and families of all abilities.
Owatonna is a community with a diverse range of abilities. Welcoming and respecting all abilities to learn, play and grow together is important. Every community member, especially children, should have the right to play and feel they belong.
By 2022, Owatonna will build an inclusive community center that promotes community health and wellness.
Quality of life is paramount in order to maintain a viable community. We must encourage people to want to live, work, visit and retire in Owatonna. A community center will help to draw workforce talent and keep people in our region. It will provide a central location for citizens and visitors to pursue fitness, education, arts and culture, aquatics, recreation and social opportunities. Public input clearly shows that Owatonna citizens desire a community wellness and recreation center.
Our Shared Destiny:
Owatonna will become the hub of southern Minnesota and attract the world to its doors. Through shared and purposeful action Owatonna will
• be a vibrant community with authentic small town charm and big city amenities.
• welcome and embrace each generation across its broad diversity of citizens.
• develop assets to enrich and nurture its quality of life, so that it is considered a healthy and desirable place to live, learn, work, play, raise a family, and retire.
• be "open for business," capitalizing on its entrepreneurial and agricultural history, diverse business sectors and physical location.
• serve as a crossroads for recreation and tourism, enhancing its economic, wellness and human diversity.
• encourage leadership alignment and citizen participation at all levels, so the entire community creates and contributes to its prosperity.

President Peres: France's strong stance earns worldwide respect.
France's insistence on verifiable guarantees that Iran will not continue enriching uranium reportedly played a key role in stopping a proposed agreement with Iran from going through – an agreement that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had warned was dangerous.
France has taken a "strong stance" on the issue of weapons of mass destruction in Syria as well, Peres said. This stance "earns worldwide respect," he added.
Peres also praised France for its assistance to the fledgling state of Israel after the Holocaust. France broke the embargo on Israel at a time when much of the world refused to allow Israel any weapons, he noted.
"The citizens of Israel owe an historic debt to France on its help building Israel's defense forces after the state was formed," he said. During the year after the state was established, Israel faced a war for survival as it was attacked by several Arab armies.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu praised France as well. "Israel sees France as a true friend," he said.
France "understands well the dangers of extremists," he added.
France and Israel are expected to sign bilateral cooperation agreements on Sunday to further cooperation in areas of strategic importance, as well as to boost economic, scientific and cultural ties between the countries.
On Monday, Hollande is expected to address the Knesset.

First World Leader To Meet Trump 'Confident' In His Leadership
REUTERS/Andrew Kelly
Ryan Pickrell China/Asia Pacific Reporter
November 17, 2016 8:47 PM ET
President-elect Donald Trump met Thursday with his first world leader since he won the election last week.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had a "very candid discussion" with Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan. After their 90-minute meeting, Abe told reporters, "[I am] convinced that Mr. Trump is a leader in whom I can have confidence."
The prime minister further noted that the U.S. and Japan will be able to "maintain a relationship of trust."
On the campaign trail, Trump presented Japan as a trade rival, blasted the Japanese for not paying their share for U.S. defense, and threatened to tear up the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a trade deal supported by Abe and his administration. Trump's comments alarmed Japanese officials.
As the meeting between Abe and Trump was "unofficial," Abe refused to disclose whether these issues have been addressed.
Abe did, however, comment that the conversation took place in a "warm atmosphere" and that he would like to meet with Trump again in the future to hold "wider and deeper talks."
Prior to the meeting, the prime minister said that he wanted to "build trust."
"I am very honored to see the President elect ahead of other world leaders," he said before leaving for the meeting, "The Japan-US alliance is the axis of Japan's diplomacy and security. The alliance becomes alive only when there is trust between us. I would like to build such a trust with Mr. Trump."
His comments on the meeting suggest that the two have made a positive step in that direction.

Fuselage Freighter: 1969 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon – SOLD!
by Guys with Rides | Jun 2022 | Classifinds, Wagon Wednesday
July 12, 2022, Update – We confirmed the seller of this "Classifind" deleted their listing, so we're now able to call this one "SOLD!" While this one got away, please reach out either by email or call us directly if you'd like to be informed when we come across something similar.
June 16, 2022 Update – The private seller just replaced their expired May listing with a fresh Craigslist ad. In it, the seller lowered the asking price from $18,900 to $17,900.
May 16, 2022 Update – The private seller just replaced their expired April listing with a fresh Craigslist ad. In it, the seller lowered the asking price from $19,500 to $18,900.
April 16, 2022 Update – We have to give the seller credit as every time they post a new listing, they provide a completely new set of pictures. That said, this latest set of photographs does not show how well the paint shines in the sunlight. With no change in the asking price of $19,500 in their latest description, we have a feeling we will see another set of pictures in another month.
March 20, 2022 Update – The seller just replaced their expiring listing with a new Craigslist post. In it, the description, and asking price of $19,500 all remain the same but they have provided updated pictures
February 13, 2022 Update – The seller just replaced their expiring listing with a new Craigslist post. In it, the description, pictures, and asking price of $19,500 all remain the same.
January 24, 2022 Update – In a shocking development, after last month's odd two thousand dollar price increase did not secure a buyer, the seller of this '69 Chrysler Town & Country we first featured in November 2021 posted a fresh listing with the asking price reduced from $21,000 to $19,500.
December 30, 2021 Update – After confirming the seller of this car deleted their listing, we assumed it was sold until we came across this new listing here on Craigslist in Santa Ana, California with the asking price increased from $19,800 to asking $21,000. You'll have to confirm with the seller why they increased the asking price by nearly $2,000.
For 1969, Chrysler redesigned its full-size "C" body car lines with attractive "fuselage design" styling. The new design language found its use on every big Chrysler from Imperials to station wagons such as this 1969 Chrysler Town & Country originally listed in November 2021 on Craigslist in Discovery Bay, California (Orange County). Reported to be a survivor example featuring its original paint, engine, and interior, the lack of the typical roof rack and faux wood applique hide the full complement of luxury options that includes factory air conditioning.
Currently offered for $18,900 (the original ask was $19,800), comparing that price against the Hagerty Insurance Online Valuation Tool confirms the private seller has their Town & Country priced between this guide's #3 "Good" estimate of $13,280 and its #2 "Excellent" appraisal of $22,000. Similarly, the Collector Car Market Review Online Tool reveals the seller's ask falls between this guide's #2 "Very Good" estimate of $14,700 and its #1 "Excellent" appraisal of $24,000. We note the value of these station wagons, like many such models, has been on the rise over the past two years.
For 1969, a major restyle brought a dramatic new look to all full-sized Chrysler Corporation cars. Called "fuselage design", it featured a pronounced side curvature from the rocker panels all the way to the roof rails. Plymouth and Dodge models, excluding wagons, shared passenger compartment structures, and greenhouses riding on 120- and 122-inch wheelbases respectively. Similarly, Chrysler and Imperial models, excluding the Town & Country wagon, shared slightly longer passenger compartments and greenhouses, riding on 124- and 127-inch wheelbases respectively (all of the Imperial's longer wheelbase was in the front clip). As in the prior generation, all Chrysler full-sized wagons shared a common greenhouse on a unitized body and chassis with longitudinal front torsion bars, rear leaf springs, and the Dodge's 122-inch wheelbase. As before, the wagon's shorter wheelbase was offset by the additional rear overhang. 1969 Town & Country wagons were nearly identical to other Chrysler body styles in overall length at just under 225 inches.
Fuselage era Chryslers all featured a full-width loop style chrome front bumper. Quad headlamps and grille were recessed inside the loop, with differing grille inserts for each series. Turn signal and parking lamps were recessed into the bumper below the headlamps. Body sides were simple and smooth with a subtle character line originating at the front bumper, descending slightly for the length of the car, and ending at the wrap-around rear bumper. On Town & Country wagons, this character line was also the location of the lower molding surrounding the standard wood grain side paneling, simulated cherry for 1969. The fuselage profile extended the length of a full-sized "long roof" made for a rather striking looking wagon. At the trailing edge of the long roof, body sides, D pillars, and a unique rooftop airfoil formed one continuous arch over the tailgate opening. The airfoil directed airflow from the roof down and over the tailgate window, intended to keep the glass clear of dirt accumulation.
The Town & Country's grille insert and wheel covers for this new generation were from the New Yorker, while front seating choices and interior trim were again drawn from the Newport Custom. The new instrument panel featured a symmetrical padded loop echoing the design theme of the front end. The inverted fan style speedometer from 1967 and 1968 continued, balanced on the passenger side by a large glove box door. A unique Chrysler feature was floodlighting of the instruments and controls instead of more typical backlighting.
For 1969, all full-size Chrysler Corporation vehicles returned to standard 15-inch wheels. This accommodated the growing share of cars equipped with front disc brakes, which were updated to a new simpler and less costly single-piston sliding caliper design from the earlier 4-piston fixed caliper type. Once again, Chrysler sales literature listed power front disc brakes as standard equipment on Town & Country. Some were built with front drum brakes instead. Regardless of brake type, all T&Cs included standard size 8.85×15 tires on 6.5″x15″ heavy-duty rims. Powertrain choices for the Town & Country remained unchanged.
Chrysler played catch-up on some wagon-specific features in 1969: The tailgate became a two-way door-gate, able to swing sideways or drop downward, a feature Ford had pioneered in 1965. The rear axle track was widened nearly three inches to 63.4 inches (1,610 mm), enabling a full 48.5 inches (1,230 mm) wide load floor between the wheel wells, a feature GM had also pioneered in 1965. Chrysler sought to leapfrog those competitors with a few station wagon exclusive features of its own, including passenger assist handles integrated into the rear opening trim molding, and a tailgate window washer that was contained entirely inside the tailgate.
The MyMopar.com YouTube Channel features this 1969 Chrysler-Plymouth dealer training slide show that reviews all of the 1969 station wagon models:
While the seller's description does not call it out, our ability to decode the VIN number provided confirmed this 1969 Chrysler Town & Country is a six-passenger model factory equipped with a four-barrel-topped 440 cubic inch V8. Our understanding is that faux wood and roof racks came as standard equipment on these cars, so hopefully, the seller has documentation confirming whether the original owner was able to remove these from the options list.

A new publication from the Global Governance Project highlights the urgency for practical approaches to achieve UHC by 2030.
Health: A Political Choice calls on world leaders and politicians around the world to prioritise implementation of universal health coverage. More than half the world's population lacks access to essential health services, including vaccinations, the ability to see a health worker or access to treatment for HIV. Even when these services are available, using them can spell financial disaster.
Contributors include a prestigious line-up of authors featuring Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General, UN; Emmanuel Macron, President of France; Chancellor Angela Merkel; Director-General of WHO, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and many more.
Promoting decisive action, it concludes with the six Key Asks from the UHC movement.
To ensure political leadership beyond health – Commit to achieve UHC for healthy lives and well-being for all at all stages, as a social contract;
Leave no one behind – Pursue equity in access to quality services with financial protection;
Regulate and legislate – Create a strong, enabling regulatory and legal environment;
Uphold quality of care – Build quality health systems that people and communities trust;
Invest more, invest better – Sustain public financing and harmonise health investments;
Move together – Establish multi-stakeholder mechanisms for engaging the whole of society for a healthier world.
"Health - A Political Choice" is an official publication of the Global Governance Project produced in collaboration with the World Health Organization and was launched at G20 Summit in Japan. The Global Governance Project is a joint initiative between GT Media Group, a London based publishing company, the Global Governance Program based at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto and the Global Health Centre at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.

If you have paid the moment a calendar month, then you are going to have till then to come up with a repayment. If your obtain covered bi-weekly, at that point your pay period is actually established for two weeks. On average, the typically low price payday loan term is actually established for about 14 days.

What Are Our Trading Options Post Brexit?

Leave a Comment on What Are Our Trading Options Post Brexit?
What sort of trade deal can we realistically secure?
Daniel Spreckley
It has been a big couple of weeks for Britain. The value of the pound dropped at record speed, stocks plummeted in value, Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn faces an overwhelming vote of no confidence and our economy is in decline. Still, to be optimistic we could argue a backlash was inevitable – though needless to say, so far, the prospect of life outside the EU appears bleak.
Of course, we are still very much in the process of discovering what the reality of Britain's exit from the European Union will be. For all of the predictions, speculation and questionable integrity, ultimately, we don't know.
So what happens next? Much depends on the arrangements Britain makes with the EU and its scorned members over the next couple of years. Understandably, the more access we hope to retain the greater the influence Brussels will have. And though this may come as a shock to some, we cannot expect to be dealt a hand if we have not bought in. Yes, we are a major economy and an attractive market to many of our European counterparts. Likewise, it is true that countries are unlikely to cease trading with the UK because of our decision. Still, we must be prudent. While we have voted to go it alone, turning our back on what is still by far Britain's largest export market for goods and services (more than 40%) will only aggravate existing volatility. My concern now is that if we want in, we will be fronting the big blind for a worse deal.
During the referendum much focus fell on the Norwegian, Swiss and World Trade Organization (WTO) models. However, given the principle factors behind the UK's decision to back exiting the EU, besides giving the middle finger to a Conservative leadership of course, we may struggle to achieve such a model that unites UK ambition and EU requirements with the expectations of British voters.
Firstly: Norway. While retaining autonomy over its key markets, fisheries and agriculture, Norway still contributes to the EU budget, accepts all four freedoms of the Single Market and is subject to great swathes of EU regulation including financial, social, employment and environmental directives. If this was to be the model on which the UK bases its negotiations, calls for the redirection of EU fees, greater control of its borders and a return to the overruling power of British decision making may go unanswered.
The Swiss-model promises little more. While more selective, Switzerland is in the same boat as Norway. A distinction worth making however is the free movement of services – or lack thereof. Constituting close to 80% of our economy, the service sector is an interest the UK will be looking to protect. For Britain, gaining access to the European Economic Area (EEA) under a similar arrangement would mean that whilst accepting the outcome of the referendum, we would be contradicting the motivations that drove that decision. It would likely include on-going payments to the EU budget and the acceptance of Free Market principles; crucially, the free movement of people. Not to mention the application of rules and legislation pertaining to the Single Market with no effective say in their implementation.
What's more, pursuing such a system of bilateral agreements will only extend uncertainty, to the detriment of UK business and outsider investment. All in all, the British Government may find its options restricted by the prevailing attitude of British voters and the brick wall it may face given the EU's tiring attitude towards its agreement with Switzerland – affirmed by the Swiss referendum on immigration in 2014. It suggests that achieving such a piecemeal arrangement will be difficult, hanging onto British access to the Single Market might mean a concession to some of the principle motivations voters had to vote leave.
Of course, EU-centred arrangements are not the only option. Adopting a system similar to that of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) could help unite new trade agreements with public attitudes on border control and self-regulation, signalling a true break in our trading relationship with the EU as we understand it now. We would not be part of the EEA but trade with nations, both EU and non-EU, along the lines of the WTOs most favoured nation principle. Under this system, the UK would not pay fees to the EU or be subject to its regulations; leaving Britain free to cast its net where its pleases. However, standard external tariffs on UK exports may rankle with businesses with strong trade ties to the EU. In addition to this, even outside of the EEA, meeting EU trading standards would likely be a requirement to trade for the UK within the Single Market.
How popular, and indeed suitable, any of these options might be is yet to be seen, and the conditions under which Britain enters negotiations differs vastly to that of Switzerland and Norway, not to mention the significant influence that principle factors behind Britain's decision to back leaving the EU will have on our Government's ability to negotiate a deal. Ultimately, it is unlikely the EU would accept UK entry to the EEA if it were not to embrace Free Market principles, significantly the free movement of people. Equally, it is not likely the British government would accept an agreement pertaining to any significant EU control over its domestic law without representation nor say in its application. Still, we now have the option to explore new trading opportunities. We may even be successful in our negotiation of a new UK-style agreement with the EU. But amongst all of the uncertainty, what is sure is that it will be neither quick, nor easy.

NGC 3439 est une galaxie spirale située dans la constellation du Lion. Sa vitesse par rapport au fond diffus cosmologique est de , ce qui correspond à une distance de Hubble de . NGC 3439 a été découverte par l'astronome allemand Albert Marth en 1865.

On devine la présence de bras spiraux dans l'image du relevé SDSS et la présence dans ceux-ci de jeunes étoiles bleues. La classification de galaxie spirale par la base de données HyperLeda semble mieux correspondre à cette image que la classification de galaxie elliptique par Wolfgang Steinicke.

Avec une brillance de surface égale à , on peut qualifier NGC 3439 de galaxie présentant une brillance de surface élevée.

How Do You Take A Crossfit Class Online?
My answer is, install it after the game. I use the crossfit app on my iphone though it should work for other similarly equipped phones as well. The app works just fine for all of us that use Apple products since we have tried other apps and they don't work or are too complicated to grasp our busy lives.
How do you take advantage of greyhounds?
You actually go about your daily routine normally without them being there! This is one of my favorite things about this type of dog because I love dogs but don't want an animal in my house 24/7 which is what normal house dogs are like. So I was glad to find out that hounds really don't need much sleep to function well during day time hours then go to sleep at night! Their brains are wired differently, so they can remain alert all day long with minimal amounts of food and oxygen intake. They're awesome dogs! And they're amazing workout partners, so now I'm hooked!
How Much Do Crossfit Coaches Get Paid A Year?
The amount of money an elite athlete earns depends greatly on their performance. A hugely accomplished professional, like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, can earn more than $100 million in a year's time. Athletes with less success typically earn far less. With so many variables at play, it's incredibly difficult to estimate how much coaches are paid each year. A recent Sports Illustrated article suggests that people earning between $500k – $1m annually are considered "elite" indoor sports trainers and coaches While the pay varies across the board for different positions/jobs, most average earnings hover around $65,000 per year. If you're a top 10% gymnastics coach (top 1%) you make about 50k-90k a year

Opinions concerning Alex Iwobi's ability are about as tempestuous as they come in the Premier League. The arrival of Unai Emery instigated a tangible improvement in the Nigeria international during the early stages of the season.
Statistical improvements helped to illuminate and verify that particular argument, but the statistics couldn't reveal his ability to link the play. He was often the man behind the assist, a contribution which, of course, is not a common method of quantifying attacking prowess.
But the opinion that was peddled with such enthusiasm has now gone full circle: Iwobi's form was a temporary aberration and, excluding Saturday's goal against Huddersfield, the supporters are once again struggling to appreciate his presence in the side.
Meanwhile, former Arsenal prodigy Serge Gnabry has quietly established himself as a first-team weapon at Bayern Munich, starting ten times in the Bundesliga this season.
Gnabry's incredibly underwhelming loan spell with West Bromwich Albion in the 2015/16 season gave Arsene Wenger and the rest of Arsenal's hierarchy reason to sell him to Werder Bremen in the summer, with a measly fee of just £4.5 million sufficient to prise him away.
What Arsenal apparently forgot to consider, though, was that he was playing under Mr kick and rush, Tony Pulis, during his time at the Hawthorns. How on earth could a man of Pulis' distinct set of managerial skills possibly be expected to get the best out of a technically gifted wide man? The two were not a match made in heaven.
Gnabry returned to north London with his tail between his legs after his initial season-long loan spell was cut short in February. The then-20-year-old winger played just 12 minutes under Pulis and, with that knowledge in mind, it would have taken a brave punter to back him to join Germany's biggest club less than eighteen months after his loan spell finished.
Gnabry settled into life in Germany as seamlessly as Jadon Sancho. After 21 fixtures with Werder Bremen he had managed to score 10 goals and provide two assists. Injury problems disrupted his season thereafter and he only managed to add another goal in the final weeks of the campaign, but his talent was obvious and Bayern snapped him up.
Rumours linking Arsenal with a move for Ivan Perisic dominated the recent January transfer window, while a late push for Yannick Carrasco pointed towards a clear desire to strengthen the left inside forward position.
But, with the famously wonderful benefit of hindsight, Arsenal's strategy could have looked very different if they'd spotted a golden talent when it was staring them in the face.
The 5-cap Germany international has scored four goals and provided four assists from 837 Bundesliga minutes this season, which averages at a goal contribution every 105 minutes and, as was the case with Iwobi earlier in the season, that's without mentioning the flair, dazzling style of dribbling, intelligent movement and incisive vision which accompanies his decisive moments of brilliance.
Iwobi, meanwhile, has made a goal contribution for every 190 minutes of Premier League football this season. Niko Kovac is utilising the quality which Wenger surrendered in 2016, leaving the Gunners faithful pondering what might have been in the absence of a calamitous transfer decision.

Humans are very good in transfer learning, i.e. we can solve new problems with regard to previously learned tasks, the classic example is to learn snowboarding from windsurfing, but maybe a better example is language learning: It is much easier to learn Spanish when knowing Italian. Automatic machine learning makes usually no use of such advantages and this is known as the problem of catastrophic forgetting. For two decades now this is an extremely hot topic in the machine learning community  and any advances may results in major breaktroughs in this area. In this work the student shall experiment with health related data and formalize some ideas on how to solve concrete transfer learning problems including a benchmarking and evaluation to existing transfer learning approaches.
