Standard Chartered has shaken up the management team of its retail and Asian banking operations.
The announcement the day before its quarterly results comes as the company looks to boost revenue growth and improve profitability.
The bank is listed in London but most of its operations are in the emerging markets, with a focus on Asia and Africa.
Karen Fawcett, CEO of retail banking and group head of brand and marketing, will retire with effect from 31 December.
Ben Hung, regional CEO for greater China and north Asia, will take on the additional role as CEO of retail banking on 30 November.
Mr Hung will take over Ms Fawcett's responsibility for leading the development of strategy and technology improvements across retail banking.
Tracey McDermott, group head of corporate, public and regulatory affairs, will assume responsibility for brand and marketing.
Anna Marrs will transfer her regional CEO responsibilities to Judy Hsu, CEO in Singapore, between now and the end of next year.
Standard Chartered said in a statement Ms Marrs would continue to focus on commercial and private banking and wealth management.
The move follows a major management reshuffle in 2015 following the arrival of new chief executive Bill Winters from JPMorgan in a bid to improve the group's lacklustre financial performance.
Mr Winters said: "These changes ensure a smooth and orderly succession which will allow us to continue our unrelenting focus on delivering our strategy, capturing opportunities whilst driving efficiency, increased digitisation and better shareholder returns across our global and local businesses.

Crypto Firm FTX Is New Exclusive NFT Partner for the Washington Wizards, Capitals and Mystics
By Andrew Cohen 12.20.2021
Cryptocurrency exchange FTX has reached a new multi-year deal with Monumental Sports & Entertainment to become the organization's exclusive NFT partner. FTX will help launch NFTs for all MSE properties—including the Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals and Washington Mystics.
The Wizards mark the second NBA team in as many weeks to partner with FTX, who recently paid a reported $10 million to sponsor the Golden State Warriors, according to CNBC. MSE plans to integrate NFTs into fan engagement initiatives such as loyalty programs and digital commemorative tickets, which the NFL debuted last month.
"Whether you describe it as NFTs or blockchain programs, I think ticketing is going in that direction,'' Jim Van Stone, MSE's president of business operations & CCO, told SportTechie. "Certainly, collectible tickets are, I think, a no brainer."
MSE opened a Caesars Sportsbook inside its Capital One Arena in May, and Caesars has a jersey patch sponsorship with the Capitals. The organization's sports betting tie-up is notable given FTX's interest in sports betting, as the crypto exchange recently attempted to buy sports betting app PlayUp for $450 million.

Fiammetta Rocco
In his exploration of the mysterious and the murderous, of the terrors that can take hold of the human mind, of the colors of life in Africa, with its vibrant fabrics and its trees laden with fruit, and most of all in his ability to create dramatic tension in this most human of African stories, -Chigozie Obioma truly is the heir to ¬Chinua Achebe.
Sam Sacks
Chigozie Obioma is that rare thing: an original. His world is a mix of the real and the folkloric, and his writing sounds like no one else's.
Boktips (Norway)
Ellen Sofie Lauritzen
This book is something very unique. I understand that you have to have comparisons, especially for new readers, but there is something about the narrative voice that is so neat and original that I have trouble comparing him to anyone. I rather hope that people start to compare others with him eventually
Financial Times (US & UK)
Carl Wilkinson
A striking, controlled and masterfully taut debut… The tale has a timeless quality that renders it almost allegorical and it is the more powerful for it.
Times Literary Supplement
Stuart Kelly
The most impressive feature of The Fishermen is that, while it is ostensibly a naturalist novel, it is suffused with an air of legend and the supernatural…. ingenious, subtle, ambitious and intriguing
Lucy Scholes
The Fishermen is a strikingly accomplished debut, hailing Chigozie Obioma as a bold new voice in Nigerian fiction. It comes as no surprise it's made this year's Man Booker Dozen, and I for one would be surprised and disappointed if it doesn't make the shortlist next month.
Seamlessly interweaving the everyday and the elemental, Obioma's strange, imaginative debut—the translation rights to which have been sold in 12 countries—probes the nature of belief and the power of family bonds…Obioma excels at juxtaposing sharp observation, rich images of the natural world, and motifs from biblical and tribal lore; his novel succeeds as a convincing modern narrative and as a majestic reimagining of timeless folklore.
Alexandra Fuller
Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness
Obioma writes with gorgeous restraint reminiscent of the intricate prose in a Tolstoy novella…It just doesn't get better than this. Get used to the name: Obioma is here to stay.
Darkly mythic…a kind of African Cormac McCarthy, committed to a stark vision of life in which our pretensions to civilization are forever held up and exposed as skin deep: that what really runs us is deeper down, in the blood.
Obioma has mastered that tension essential to tragedy: In hindsight, the events seem inevitable, and yet you can't help wondering if things could have turned out differently. Which is to say Obioma is a very good writer.
The Fishermen," Nigerian author Chigozie Obioma's debut novel, is a searing, incandescent exploration of the repercussions that come from acting on such a belief…Obioma so wonderfully casts the events that they come to feel natural, even inevitable.
Kirkus Review (US)
A lively, energetic debut novel … the talented Obioma exhibits a richly nuanced understanding of culture and character. A powerful, haunting tale of grief, healing, and sibling loyalty.

Sep 8 'Love and Other Drugs' starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway - trailer review
Calhoun Kersten
Love and Other Drugs Directed by: Edward Zwick Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Judy Greer Rating: NR Release Date: November 26, 2010
TRAILER SCORE: 7/10
MY THOUGHTS: It's that time again, folks. That's right, time for the Oscar bait to start hitting the screen. Love and Other Drugs is one of the latest Oscar buzz pieces, although I personally couldn't tell you for what. Will it rack up the acting nods? The screenplay? Nothing about this movie seems to stand out too much, not that that's a bad thing. It looks like an entertaining enough movie. I couldn't tell you exactly why, but something about it (or maybe just the way they're selling it) reminds me of Up in the Air for the disillusioned, over-medicated Prozac nation generation. Gyllenhaal is charming as always and it's nice to see him and Ms. Hathaway paired together after that scarring "I just saw The princess Diaries' boobs" moment in Brokeback Mountain. But to be fair, what's really sold me on this movie is Anne Hathaway herself. Sure, she's picked some stinkers before, but what Hollywood actor hasn't done a paycheck movie? Especially after she lost the Oscar several years ago, even after giving an amazing turn in Rachel Getting Married, this feels like it may be her shot again. Either way, whether it ends up cleaning up at the Oscars or not, this looks like something worth checking out for some of the actors and actresses involved, even if it does seem to tread familiar territory.

Dr. James W. Davis is a Fresno trauma surgeon and chief of surgery at UCSF Fresno and Community Regional Medical Center. UCSF Fresno
Gunshot victims make up 15 percent of trauma admissions at Community Regional Medical Center in downtown Fresno (motor vehicle crashes and falls make up the most common mechanisms of injury). But unlike car crashes, where the mortality rate has fallen steadily over the last 25 years, the death rate from gunshots has risen to almost the same as motor vehicle crashes.
If we approach gun violence from a public health perspective, we can reduce deaths and injuries as we have reduced deaths from motor vehicle crashes. Consider how laws requiring drivers to wear seat belts have been shown to save about 15,000 lives a year in the United States. Gun safety can accomplish the same for firearm-related deaths and injuries.
This past year, I had the privilege of being one of 24 surgeons — and one of only two from California — on the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma's Firearm Strategy Team (FAST) Workgroup. The surgeons, who like me, are also gun owners, produced recommendations for reducing and preventing firearm injuries and deaths. There were conference calls and meetings over nine months with groups, including the National Rifle Association and the Everytown USA gun safety movement.
The FAST Workgroup recommendations for reduction and prevention of firearm injuries and deaths included a recommendation for accurate background checks for all purchase and transfers of firearms. The recommendation is similar to a bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives on a 240-190 vote at the end of February. The bill passed by the House would expand background checks to include purchases made at gun shows, online or in other private settings, not just at licensed dealers.
The House bill to expand background checks is a step in the right direction, and so is another gun safety bill the House passed, 228-198, that would extend from three days to 10 days the time for background checks to be completed when someone is buying a gun from a licensed dealer.
But the FAST Workgroup made other recommendations to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths, including registration of all firearms and the development and implementation of a database of all registered firearms; formal gun safety training for all new firearm owners; temporary or permanent restrictions of firearm ownership for individuals deemed a threat to themselves and others; and safe and controlled firearm storage.
I would have included ammunition background checks, weapon identification (microstamping), removal of firearms from domestic violence perpetrators, an assault-style weapons ban and a ban on large capacity magazines.
And I would have included an age limit of 21 years for all weapons. (California increased its age limit for buying rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21 this year. The new law matches one that restricts handgun purchases to adults 21 and older.)
This is not about gun control. This is about firearm injury and death prevention. This is about public health — saving lives and decreasing injuries.

The Artist's Move: The Discipline of Dance and Big Data
Kim Grover-Haskin (Independent Researcher, USA)
Source Title: Handbook of Research on Big Data Storage and Visualization Techniques
Dance and technology have been partners from an early age. In 1892 Loie Fuller recognized the potential in the latest theater lighting technologies that would enable her to creatively explore her dance and dance performance. Like Fuller, as technologies emerged to the world at large, dance artists began to explore the effect such technologies would have on their art. Eventually, explorations of dance and technology focused on how computers contributed to the performance of dance. This chapter will review the history of dance and technology culminating into a discussion of the next evolution of technology in the discipline of dance, the potential computational thinking and Big Data bring to the visualization of the creative process. Particular emphasis will focus on how the work, Synchronous Objects One Flat Thing reproduced, exemplifies the convergence of dance, technology, Big Data and visualization.
We live in an age of the screen. Technology is pervasive in our society. According to the PEW Research survey in 2015 on technology device ownership, 68% of U.S. adults have smartphones and 45% of adults own tablet computers (Anderson, 2015). Smartphone ownership has impacted desktop and laptop adoption as individuals rely more on their smartphones for multi-purpose use. People have access to information and social networks 24/7. The ability to communicate across a variety of technology tools and social strategies has expanded into the immersion of social video. With social video, we have moved from a textual to a visual culture. Studies into this culture have led us to research visual literacy. Howells and Negreiros (2012) book entitled Visual Culture discusses the challenges of a visual world. "We are surrounded by increasingly sophisticated visual images. But unless we are taught how to read them, we run the risk of remaining visually illiterate" (Howells & Negreiros, 2012). Big Data has entered into the visual culture arena with visualization applications that are designed to show relationship, patterns, animations and much more. Skiba (2014) recognizes the rise of Big Data for her discipline of nursing and asks the poignant question,
Now, as visual literacy merges with data literacy to form the new concept of data visualization literacy, we must ask: Is this a competency that nurses need? A review of the literature indicates that the answer is yes. Nurses need to understand and interpret the visual displays of data in their practice. (Skiba, 2014)
There is no question that the amount of data we can access is growing exponentially. Technology advances have opened opportunities for data gathering and analysis. High Performance Computing initiatives provide competitive advantage, predictive analytics and scientific discovery. With so much data and technology on hand, our world today is infused with the need for data interpretation beyond spreadsheets. Visualization application development is in high gear providing a view into relationship and pattern which shows meaning. These applications are not restricted to scientists but are mainstream targeting a visually hungry population. Just like the emergence of social video, visualization applications are available for anyone to explore and use whether for research or fun.
Taking your data and transforming it into charts, graphs or interactive maps has become easier through the development of visual applications for mass consumption. N. Sharma (2015) lists 14 data visualization tools for thought for developers and non-developers. Data Driven Documents, also known as D3.js, uses your document format such as html, css and svg to create dynamic visual representations. Primarily for developers, D3 produces a variety of data visualization graphs, charts and maps. Plotly is a good application for non-developers. Sharma describes Plotly as an easy to use data analysis and charting tool. When you visit the website, you can easily create an online dashboard with your information. And don't forget the volume of data at our personal fingertips through wearables. Fitness bands provide us a view of our sleep patterns, fitness goals and mileage. These are but a few data visualization developments for our everyday use and analysis.
We live in an age of data. As discussed, visualization applications give meaning to this data from the science laboratory to the personal heartbeat. Skiba (2014) reminds us in her overview of Big Data and Nursing,
In a blog post on the National Center for Healthcare Leadership website, Garmen (2013)spoke to the emerging competencies needed in the era of Big Data and the LHS. Along with statistics and "contextual knowledge of the healthcare organizations the data represent," there is also a need for "advanced competencies in 'storytelling' — translating statistics into practical wisdom and action, through compelling narrative and visualization. (Skiba, 2014)
Key Terms in this Chapter
Computational Aesthetics: Aesthetics is the study of artistic perception and interpretation. Computational aesthetics merges the study of art appreciation with analytic and synthetic properties to bring into view the computational thinking artistic outcome. In the context of this chapter, computational aesthetics is applied to the geometrical representations of the dance's data.
DanceForms: DanceForms is an animation software tool for choreographers and dancers. Initially Life Forms, DanceForms is distributed through Credo Interactive and is utilized in many dance programs for animation development purposes.
Polymathic: The ability to be fluent across a variety of disciplines of study.
Improvisation: Dance movement which emerges through variables that change or fluctuate. The dancer determines their own movement scheme with given variables, cues, themes or purposes. Because of the lack of structured movement sequences, the movement may change significantly from performance to performance.
Parallel Coordinates Plot: A method of visualizing high-dimensional data geometrically through multivariate analysis.
Counterpoint: According to Forsythe and Shaw (2009) , "Counterpoint is a field of action in which the intermittent and irregular coincidence of attributes between organizational elements produces an ordered interplay" ( Forsythe, W. and Shaw, N. Z., 2009 ).
Isadora: Isadora® is an interactive media presentation computer program developed by Mark Coniglio of Troika Ranch. Coniglio developed Isadora to respond as a real time sensory input system from the dancer. As the dancer dances, Isadora creates a visual video and audio display. This interactive performance software can create via live performance or from a recorded score during the performance.

Recently published research from GBI Research, "Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Market in Asia-Pacific Region - Cell Culture Technology-Based Vaccines to Revolutionize the Market by Faster Production and High Initial Purity", is now available at Fast Market Research
Williamstown, MA -- (SBWire) -- 02/09/2012 --GBI Research, the leading business intelligence provider has released its latest research "Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Market in Asia-Pacific Region - Cell Culture Technology-Based Vaccines to Revolutionize the Market by Faster Production and High Initial Purity Description" which essentially provides insights into the seasonal influenza vaccine sales forecasts for the Asia-Pacific Region until 2017. The report also delves deep into vaccination patterns for seasonal influenza in the Asia-Pacific Region. Further, the geographical distribution of seasonal influenza vaccines across Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India and Singapore are also provided in the report. The report offers a clear view of the regulatory landscape in the Asia-Pacific countries. The report also reveals the seasonal influenza vaccine R&D pipeline and offers profiles of promising vaccines. The report explores the competitive landscape including profiles for top companies. Finally, the key trend analysis on mergers and acquisitions, and licensing agreements involving seasonal influenza vaccines is also presented.
View Full Report Details and Table of Contents
Treatment of seasonal influenza is dominated by two categories of treatment options, vaccines and antiviral therapies. In the recent years it was observed that demand for seasonal influenza vaccines have increased due to changed perception of patient population. The patient population is of the opinion that preventive healthcare is better compared to curative healthcare; this led to increased demand of vaccines in Asia-Pacific region. Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is an attractive market for seasonal influenza vaccine manufacturers. Major drivers in the market is increasing awareness, increasing vaccination coverage in the APAC countries and rising government support for immunization against seasonal influenza. Major restraints of the market are variable demand and limited production capacity. Traditional egg based manufacturing of seasonal influenza vaccines is being replaced with cell culture vaccines. Cell culture based production of vaccines is expected to reduce the problems associated with the production and use of seasonal influenza vaccines which will further increase the vaccination coverage in the APAC region.
Companies Mentioned in this Report: Sanofi Pasteur, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Abbott Laboratories (Solvay Pharmaceuticals), CSL Biotherapies, Novartis Vaccines, Crucell N.V. (Berna Biotech)

Chicago Walk-On Earns Spot on Seton Hall in NCAA Tourney
By Justin Breen |&nbspMarch 17, 2016 6:41am | Updated on March 17, 2016 8:03am
@dnainfo_breen
Chicago's Michael Dowdy made NCAA tournament-bound Seton Hall as a walk-on.
Seton Hall Athletics
CHICAGO — Michael Dowdy waited weeks — years actually — for the phone call that finally came from Kyle Smyth.
After trying out for Seton Hall's basketball team the third straight year as a walk-on — his first two attempts were unsuccessful — Dowdy spent a month glancing at his phone while the Pirates' coaching staff determined whether they'd have a spot for him.
Finally, before this season began, the junior got the call from Smyth, a former Pirates player and the program's current coordinator of basketball operations, telling him he'd made the club.
"I was at a loss for words," said Dowdy, an Austin native and Lab Schools graduate. "It was something I had always been working for. I was praying that all the hard work I had put in would be rewarded."
Senior Editor Justin Breen talks about all the hard work put in by Michael Dowdy.
Said Smyth: "Mike has worked really hard the last three years to accomplish his dream and it was a privilege to be able to tell him that we wanted to bring him aboard."
Dowdy has played sparingly this season for the sixth-seeded Pirates (25-8), who face 11th seed Gonzaga (26-7) Thursday in the NCAA tournament.
But seeing time on the court was never the point for Dowdy, who has always wanted to be part of a Division I roster — in any capacity.
"It's all for the love of the game," he said. "I decided to never stop until I got what I wanted."
That's why for the last three summers, Dowdy endured rigorous workouts with his older cousin, Jonathan Dowdy, at Concordia University's athletic complex. One hundred-plus times a day, Dowdy would run up the school's 30-step bleachers and sprint on the track. Jonathan Dowdy said he also stressed a "holistic" approach to this summer's workouts.
"This included mentally having positive dialect, using language that empowered him to compete," said Jonathan Dowdy, a former basketball player and graduate of Providence St. Mel and Bates College. "I'm more impressed with how he continually responded to the adversity of not making the team with a greater sense of self awareness and passion for the game. I think it's a story of having tremendous faith and executing that faith in spite of obstacles that may exist."
Dowdy is scheduled to graduate next year with a degree in chemistry. Before basketball, he was taking as many as 18 credit hours a semester. Since he's joined the team, he's reduced those hours to 14. His class schedule includes organic chemistry, analytic chemistry, calculus and U.S. history.
Dowdy, who's minoring in criminal justice, plans to work as a forensic or arson investigator. Lab Schools athletic director David Ribbens said Dowdy's ability to persevere through adversity "will suit him well in his pursuit of a career."
And Dowdy said he's proud to represent the West Side of Chicago on college basketball's biggest stage.
"Guys like me from back home don't get these opportunities all the time," he said. "I'm just really blessed to be in this position. I'm just glad all the hard work I put in paid off."

Help desk management software acts as a web-based ticket system that manages inquiries & other types of support processes. The software also ranks inquiries and classifies them all by priority later on transferring them to the appropriate department for issue resolution. It offers numerous advantages to sysadmins and IT pros. Once a report has been submitted to the system, the employee will have the ability to log in and track the progress of their ticket.
As a helpful resource for their potential issues and queries company employees always appreciate the software. When employees submit a report, they're assured that their problems are forwarded to the correct member of the support staff.
Help desk management software allows for a much speedier resolution of employee IT issues. It can also help reduce the amount of training that's needed for the support staff and they can become experts in a shorter amount of time. This frees up your support staff to support an even higher volume of employees.
Jobs become easier as employees will receive service in a more efficient manner and wait times are dramatically reduced. The ticket history is stored and the support staff is better able to accurately assess issues and take appropriate action. With this system, managers have the ability to keep track of members and their performance in the company. Reports are easily completed since the help desk management solution has resolution and tracking tools. Employees will have shorter periods of downtime and be more productive which benefits the company as a whole.

Q: UI-Router parent controller doesn't initiate I'm using AngularJs UI-Router for my app, but I'm with a problem where the parent's controller isn't initiated.
This is my state structure:
.state('main', {
    abstract: true,
    controller: 'MainController',
    controllerAs: 'vm',
    resolve: {
        config: function($timeout){
            return $timeout(function() {
                return console.log('loaded')
            }, 1000);
        }
    }
})
.state('home', {
    parent: 'main',
    url: '/Home',
    views: {
        'content@': {
            templateUrl: 'view/home.html'
        }
    }
})
.state('contact', {
    parent: 'main',
    url: '/Contact',
    views: {
        'content@': {
            templateUrl: 'view/contact.html',
        }
    }
})

The template home.html and contact.html are displaying on the view just fine. But inside the MainController I have just a console.log but it doesn't appear on the console.
If I make some changes, I can make it work. This is the working example:
.state('main', {
    abstract: true,
    views: {
        'main': {
            template: '

',
            controller: 'MainController',
            controllerAs: 'vm'
        }
    }
[...code...]

.state('home', {
    parent: 'main',
    url: '/Home',
    views: {
        'content': {
[...code...]

This way, everything works as expected, The view appear and the console from the controller also appear.
But it doesn't seem "right" because I need to create a template just to hold the child states.
Is there a way to make it work with the first option?

A: Well, to answer:

... Is there a way to make it work with the first option?

Have to say: NO. The point is:

Scope Inheritance by View Hierarchy Only
Keep in mind that scope properties only inherit down the state chain if the views of your states are nested. Inheritance of scope
  properties has nothing to do with the nesting of your states and
  everything to do with the nesting of your views (templates).
It is entirely possible that you have nested states whose templates populate ui-views at various non-nested locations within
  your site. In this scenario you cannot expect to access the scope
  variables of parent state views within the views of children states.

So, what happened is - the child state views: {} definition:
.state('contact', {
    parent: 'main',
    views: {
        'content@': {
    ...

... forced child to skip parent view. Not parent state. It skips a parent view. There is no parent view, from which it could inherit the $scope.
The view of a child state 'contact', is injected directly into root (index.html) ui-view="content", it will not trigger parent view...
So, use the second approach, which is absolutely correct, to achieve what is exepected
Check also these for farther details and working examples:

Of all the disasters I've delivered medical relief to, Katrina is easily the most widespread and devastating. Certainly it qualifies as the largest disaster in the United States in memory. But when you compare it to the recent Iranian earthquake in Bam (30,000 dead) or the tsunami (probably 200,000 dead) it pales by comparison. Despite early, wild estimates of more than 10,000 dead, the death toll for Hurricane Katrina will most likely not exceed 2,000.
On the other hand, Katrina displaced probably a million people; 144 square miles of New Orleans (the city is about 200 square miles total) are under a toxic brew of foul water, sewage, oil, gas, lead, PCBs, carcasses both human and animal, etc. I saw thousands upon thousands of poor people set adrift; America's most vibrant city stilled and stinking; alligators feasting on the dead; flooded, evacuated hospitals; the complete destruction of hundreds of thousands of homes. The television and newspaper photos are nowhere near sufficient to convey the scope and magnitude of the destruction — it is as if you were hovering above downtown Los Angeles looking west and everything within your field of vision were flooded all the way to the beach.
Flying over the area in helicopters all week gave me some remarkable vistas – big 30-foot fishing boats a mile inland, lodged in treetops; a hospital two blocks from the beach in Biloxi, which used to be surrounded by stores, homes and restaurants, standing alone as if a hospital-sparing neutron bomb had gone off, surrounded by rubble; whole forests snapped off; long lines of evacuees waiting in vain for FEMA or someone to come and get them; airports full of relief supplies but thousands going hungry; parish politicians commandeering hospitals for their own purposes and kicking out the patients; a roan horse running free on an island created by the flood; the stars over New Orleans at night shining more brightly than they have for a century.
The older, wiser part of New Orleans is largely untouched — the Garden District, the French Quarter, downtown. These sections of the city were built in the 1600s and 1700s, on higher ground and by wiser people, apparently. I do not know how they will save the rest of New Orleans. The whole inundated bowl of New Orleans seems beyond repair; the homes are history; the toxics in the floodwaters will be difficult if not impossible to abate; the population has left and will not have anything to return to for a long, long time.
In many areas the cops departed and companies brought in heavily-armed security mercenaries from DynCorp, just back from protecting Hamid Karzai. The whole area seemed lousy with network producers burnt out from all the PTSD and trauma they had seen. And as in all disasters, doctors and nurses gave literally everything they had to save people. The DynCorp guys, all ex-Delta Force soldiers, were kind enough to rescue frightened little dogs from the rubble . . . I noticed that erstwhile snipers wisely refrained from sniping when the ex-Delta Force guys in black tacticals showed up. The media seemed to have a newly reconstituted spine, focusing on the failures of the administration to send help, come back from vacation, fix levees, do any damn thing right. The doctors and nurses ignored their destroyed homes and missing relatives to care for the sick and injured, and showed me a new level of selfless, soul-satisfying sacrifice. Like all disasters, you see the worst and feel great wonder and astonishment at the best in humanity.
Here's one example from New Orleans: a massive hospital evacuation of more than 500 very ill patients and a few thousand staff and family, with little or no government help. The staff and the patients waited for four days as the waters rose for the repeatedly-promised official evacuation; but it never came. Finally, with no power, medicine, food, water or communication, they decided to hire private helicopters and got everyone out despite darkness, sniper's bullets, massive explosions, and the extreme difficulties of transporting the very sick, only possible because people pulled together in unity and risked everything.
You tend, when you see disasters of this scale, to reflect on the existence and intentions of a Creator. For me, the subject of these disasters and any Divine intentions is a fascinating one. I tend to believe that these are the times She may be re-thinking the whole free-will deal.
And that's because these disasters seem mostly self-inflicted, in some larger sense. I noticed that the New York Times and many other media outlets reported several human causes with Katrina's effects: the building on and subsequent erosion of the Mississippi Delta's natural hurricane buffer the barrier islands; the increasing temperatures of the Gulf waters and the hotter water's very significant contribution to more and more powerful hurricanes; the repeated Federal failure to provide budget funds for levee reinforcement that everyone knew we would eventually need; the gradual sinking of New Orleans as the energy industry pumps out more water and oil and natural gas from underneath the city; the federal government's finally giving in to developers of the outlying areas in the Delta by underwriting insurance policies for new building, which private companies had previously declined to provide; and of course the general, overall greed and stupidity of continuing to build a major coastal city below sea level without requiring elevated foundations and a flood-ready infrastructure.
This leads me to wonder whether all disasters are man-made.


BroomeDocs » Up for some SMACC craic?
Big week in critical care world with a whole bunch of new papers, research and great discussion taking place over the Twitter-sphere and on the blogs.

Then as if to be a petite marionette doll, one can see the tension glide away from the upper half of her body, as if the first notes of the piece are her release. And she becomes one with the cheap piano we have made of cherry wood that lies, shining in the living room.

MINE: Surviving the peace in Angola
Angola is the third Country in the world for mine contamination and its Moxico province is one of the most contaminated. In Angola is still too easy to see everyday a considerable amount of people without a leg or an arm, or in anyway wounded by the explosion of mine.
The International Mine Awareness Day, which took place on April 4, is an important reminder for Angola that the work of de-mining is active throughout the country, whether by NGO's like MAG and Halo Trust and NPA and DCA or by the Angolan Military or the Angolan government, or private agencies.
Angola has also celebrated 11 years of peace. Long after the war is over, some weapons wait underground for years, a lurking threat. As one of the world's most heavily land-mined countries, Angola still has over a decade of de-mining ahead of it.
At the Viking Club, on Thursday April 11, the Angola Field Group, presented a short film "Surviving the Peace, Angola", about an Angolan girl, Minga, who played with a landmine. The film gives a close-up look at de-mining in Moxico province and gives an idea of the tragedy caused by the mine explosions.
The presenter, Tony Fernandes, Technical Operations Manager/ Senior Manager in Country for MAG Angola, the NGO de-mining in Moxico province, told that the average number of wounded people by land mine is in Angola close to 1 million.
So far the angolan province affected by the presence of mine are: Malanje, Benguela, Huambo, Biè, Moxico, Kuando Lubango.
Answering to a question on how much time is needed to definitely clean the fields from the mine in Angola, Tony Fernandes said he strongly belives that the more the governments, Ngos and private sector invest and spend money for the de-mining activity the faster the fields will be cleaned by the mines.
MAG, Mines Advisory Group, is a British-based Non Governmental Organization based in Manchester, UK, founded in 1989 and has had de-mining operations in over 35 countries. source: Angola Field Group

The legendary Thylacine has not been hunted out of existence, it is alive and well and seen on a regular basis.
"The last sighting was only a month ago," Doug said. "Here, look at this," he enthused, proudly producing a caste of an animal footprint which he assured me was a tiger.
"Agreed, there aren't a lot of them, but they are out there."
Ramona is also a believer, having seen one crossing a road. It is also why the couple recently opened the gift store with its tiger theme.
Doug said tourists come from all over the world just to soak up the tiger ambience.

Sperlari è un'azienda italiana specializzata nella produzione di caramelle, torrone, torroncini, mostarda e dolcificanti.

Fondata nel 1836 da Enea Sperlari, ha sede a Cremona e dal 2017 è controllata dal gruppo tedesco Katjes International Gmbh.

Storia
Nel 1836 Enea Sperlari avvia a Cremona un negozio di specialità tipiche dolciarie della città come torrone e mostarda, che ha talmente successo che i suoi prodotti diventano presto popolari anche al di fuori del territorio locale, sbarcando persino negli Stati Uniti, presso le comunità di immigrati italiani.

Nel 1935 la proprietà è ceduta alla Pernigotti. Negli anni Cinquanta la produzione si allarga alle caramelle, facendo diventare il marchio Sperlari uno dei più prestigiosi del settore, soprattutto con l'invenzione del cofanetto Sperlari, una lussuosa confezione regalo di caramelle, simile a quelle che fino a quel momento erano state usate per i cioccolatini.

Nel 1981 l'americana H. J. Heinz Company rileva Sperlari da Pernigotti, mentre nel 1986 la società fa la sua prima acquisizione, l'azienda valtellinese di caramelle Scaramellini.

Nel 1991 entrano nel gruppo le Galatine, in precedenza prodotte dalla Polenghi Lombardo. Nel 1993 la Hershey Foods Corporation, tramite "Hershey Holding Corp.", diventa il nuovo azionista dell'azienda pagandola 120 milioni di dollari. Nel 1997 la finlandese Huhtamaki OYJ acquista la Sperlari: in questo periodo con Dietorelle e successivamente Socalbe forma il gruppo Leaf Italia S.r.l.. Viene poi rivenduta nel 1999 alla CSM N.V..

Nel 2005 "CVC Capital Partners" e "Nordic Confectionery Limited" (Nordic Capital) acquisiscono per 850 milioni di dollari il 100% di "Leaf International B.V." a cui fa capo "Leaf Italia". Nel 2007 rileva la SAILA dopo avere già acquisito la Pasticca del Re Sole.

Il 16 febbraio 2012 la svedese Cloetta, quotata alla Borsa di Stoccolma e specializzata nella produzione di cioccolato, perfeziona la fusione con Leaf International (di cui Sperlari faceva parte tramite Leaf Italia), che raggruppa gli stabilimenti di Cremona, il più importante, Gordona (SO), San Pietro in Casale (BO) e Silvi Marina (TE). Tre anni più tardi vi è un cambiamento di strategia.

Nel mese di settembre 2017 nuovo cambio di proprietà: gli svedesi cedono la società per un valore di circa 46,5 milioni di euro ai tedeschi del Gruppo Katjes International, i quali hanno raggruppato i quattro stabilimenti italiani in una nuova società, la Sperlari s.r.l.

Nel 2018 Sperlari ritorna dopo tanto tempo in tv con uno spot natalizio, torna a produrre caramelle con il marchio Sperlari, torna a crescere con tutto il portafoglio prodotti. L'azienda, in cui l'export incide solo per il 10%, ha intenzione di crescere all'estero.

Prodotti

Caramelle
Elemento principale della produzione Sperlari, ogni giorno vengono prodotte, soltanto a Cremona, 5 milioni di caramelle, per 8000 tonnellate all'anno. Esistono diverse linee di caramelle, fra le quali le Gran Gelées, le Caffè Lavazza su licenza, le balsamiche Club e, dal 1991, le Galatine. La capogruppo ha in portafoglio anche i brand Saila, Dietorelle e Dietor ed è licenziataria per l'Italia della distribuzione delle caramelle Halls, Hollywood e delle patatine Pringles.

Torrone
Tipico prodotto dolciario della tradizione cremonese, la Sperlari ne produce quattro varianti: classico o morbido, e alle nocciole o alle mandorle.

Torroncini
Versioni "Mignon" del classico torrone, confezionati singolarmente, i torroncini vengono anch'essi prodotti nelle varianti classica (dura), morbida, o al cioccolato.

Mostarda
Tipica conserva della tradizione culinaria delle province di Cremona e Mantova, la mostarda è uno dei primissimi prodotti della Sperlari.

Negozio Sperlari
Il negozio Sperlari, che si trova in via Solferino 25 a Cremona, è il più vecchio negozio della città. Il negozio possiede infatti la più antica licenza di vendita al dettaglio della provincia. Esso  divenne fornitore della Real Casa sia della Regina Madre Margherita di Savoia nel 1921, sia del Principe di Piemonte Umberto II di Savoia nel 1929. Il locale è il tipico negozio dell'800 arricchito da boiserie e vetri con decori satinati. Durante il restauro del 2011 sono stati scoperti affreschi del settecento sul soffitto. Il negozio fa parte dei locali storici d'Italia

Do you love Shakespeare? Do you despair with Shakespeare? Or are you yet to come across him?
Are you studying the classical writers, poets, playwrights? Are you sitting an English Literature exam? Do you want help in your grammar, character study, essays, context questions and comprehension skills?
9-12 year olds – For younger children we concentrate on reading and acting out the play.
We use the beautifully abridged adaptations of Leon Garfield as well as the original texts. Activities include making props, dressing up and acting out various scenes "on location" (eg. moor, cliff tops, beaches and forest).
Everyone writes in their own notebook, which will be taken home, and everyone takes part in a stage performance for their parents at the end of the course.
12-14 year olds – Young teenagers will be reading and performing from the main text (Cambridge School Shakespeare series), generally one full act each day with a final performance before leaving.
Evenings are spent preparing costumes, making props and agreeing roles for the next day.
The children will explore dramatic themes, plots, characters, motif and language to introduce them to the importance of Shakespeare's works.
This course will help children planning to take a GCSE in English Literature.
15 year olds and up – This course is for students intending to take A-level English Literature or A-level Drama & Theatre Studies.
This course is tailor-made to study the set text and to improve essay writing skills. A close reading and discussion of the text will ensure better understanding of the historical, social and philosophical background of the play. All students will be encouraged to consider how Shakespeare remains relevant today.
Intensive work will be enriched by a daily local outing to relax and enjoy the chance of being on holiday in Cornwall – naturally involving beaches, ice cream, clifftops, and cream teas.

Overseas Pakistani bringing Pride for Pakistan – Dr. Khurram Kayani completed his Doctorate from Leading Macquarie University.
At the peak of his career as CEO, Nicon Group of Companies, President All Pakistan IT Institutions Association and Joint Secretary Marketing Association of Pakistan Dr. Kayani decided to move his family to Australia. Nicon then was the largest IT Company in Pakistan with over 400 full-time staff members and fourteen campuses, etc. It was a strange and tough decision for an extremely successful and well-settled person, but there was a clear motive to make everyone feel proud of his decision and family achievements later in life.
After passing settling phase, then came the time to fulfill his lifetime desire to achieve a Doctorate from the top business University in Australia. Macquarie University holds the distinction of the leading business University in Australia so he planned to join it. On enquiring he was told that to do a research Doctorate he needed to take Course 952 and wrote a thesis of 18,000 words, only a distinction would land him in an MPhil and later Doctorate in the desired field. Another option was to compromise on the ranking of University but he refused to accept that solution. That sounded like a six years tough journey with lots of commitment and passion. But he accepted the challenge and finished Course 952 (as a pre-requisite) successfully and got admitted to Master's by Research with 22 other top academics and professionals at Macquarie University.
It was an extremely tough journey, where each and every candidate has to take four courses and achieve distinction in each one of them. Fortunately, Dr. Kayani got two best supervisors; Prof Michael McGrath and Prof. Carmel Herrington, who have a great name in the field of Good Governance, Tourism and Information Technology. A great support came from Dr. Asad Kayani as his Mentor who kept him motivated all the way through. Fighting all challenges and meeting tough university requirements he with two other students made to the stage of 'thesis writing' to achieve Doctorate. There came the ultimate challenge of balancing work and study. He never witnessed that during his two Masters before. During thesis writing he kept working for Seek Ltd and later BHP Billiton in the day and then study and write during nights. So many times he slept after Fajar prayer. His biggest motivation came through his wife Dr. Humaira, who always told him that he could achieve that pinnacle moment in life.. and asked him to look at the bigger picture, i.e., the day he would be holding his degree from the top university.
Since 2012, as an Australian Government requirement, each and every doctorate thesis has to be digitally published on the University website so people could download and take benefit from it. It is a matter of pride and much larger responsibility for a University to ensure quality and standard of every thesis that goes on their website and should also meet international Doctorate guidelines in all respects. Before that, once completed, a student needs to present the thesis to the internal committee and successfully defend it. As a standard practice upon successful defense, Macquarie University sends the thesis to two external senior professors from the same field of expertise to evaluate and give their final comments and approval. Fortunately, they both not only passed Dr. Kayani's thesis but wrote special comments like, "one seldom honors to review a thesis of this quality and depth…", "amazing level of research being done by the candidate".
Finally, on 18th Sept, 2015.. Out of 22, Dr. Khurram Kayani from Pakistan was the only one out of 22 students who was awarded with Doctorate in Business Administration degree with focus on 'Good Governance, Tourism and IT implications on companies' and also joined the club of University's most Outstanding Alumni. His biggest dream of receiving it with his mother also fulfilled too as his mother specially flew from Pakistan to attend the ceremony. He is extremely thankful to his friends Bashir Malik,Mobeen Butt, Adnan E Tabani, Waqar Abbasi, Syed Gazanfer Ali, Kh. Bilal Ahmad, Ahmed Ashraf, Greenwich students group and brothers Najm, Akhlaq, Asad, Taimoor, Murad and Salman. Now, working for Commonwealth Bank Australia, in future he intends to take a senior portfolio to further bring better name to his beloved motherland Pakistan.

Conservative group's health ads slam top GOP lawmakers
By admin on April 13, 2017 No Comment
FILE – House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, File)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The conservative Club for Growth is targeting powerful committee chairmen and other top Republicans, part of an aggressive ad campaign to rally support for the GOP's struggling health care overhaul effort.
The television and digital ads, unveiled earlier this week, pressure Republicans to a back a revised version of the GOP health care bill that Speaker Paul Ryan abruptly withdrew last month because it lacked the votes. The Trump administration offered a new proposal last week in talks with conservative lawmakers. Under the changes, states could seek federal waivers from requirements under President Barack Obama's health care law that insurers charge healthy and seriously ill consumers the same premiums, and that they cover specified medical services like mental health counseling.
The ads will air in the districts of Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee who was instrumental in pushing for the original health care bill through his panel; Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., head of the Appropriations Committee who opposed the GOP bill; and Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., a chief deputy whip who helps round up votes for leadership.
"President Trump and House conservatives have come together with a new plan," the ad says. "It lowers premiums by giving Illinois the freedom to end Obamacare's costly and ridiculous rules. So, who's standing in the way? Professional politicians like Congressman Greg Walden."
The ad urges viewers to call Walden's office.
Republican moderates and conservatives had mixed reactions to the White House proposal, and Congress left town for a two-week recess without voting on any legislation.
The Republican bill would repeal much of Obama's 2010 law, including tax penalties for people who don't buy policies. It would provide tax credits that would be smaller than Obama's for many lower-earning and older recipients, and would also cut Medicaid, which helps poorer people afford medical care. In a major setback for the GOP, Ryan withdrew the bill after Trump and leadership failed to convince enough House Republicans to back the legislation.
Club officials had said they will spend $1 million on national ads on television and online.
The ads also will run in the districts of Republican Reps. Chris Collins of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Martha McSally of Arizona, Pat Tiberi of Ohio, Charlie Dent and Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania and Evan Jenkins of West Virginia.

El Templo de Puerto Príncipe es uno de los templos construidos y en operaciones de La Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días, el primero construido en Haití, ubicado en la comuna de Pétion-Ville, en el Departamento Oeste (Haití). El templo es el primer templo SUD en el país y el segundo en las islas del Caribe, seguido del Templo de Santo Domingo (República Dominicana).

Anuncio
Los planes para la construcción del templo de Puerto Príncipe fueron anunciados por Thomas S. Monson durante la conferencia general de la iglesia el 5 de abril de 2015. El 12 de marzo de 2017, la iglesia anunció que el templo sería construido en el área adyacente a una capilla de reuniones dominicales donde se intersectan la Route de Frères (Delmas 105) e Impasse Saint-Marc (Frères 23).

Construcción
La ceremonia de la primera palada presidida por autoridades locales ocurrió el 28 de octubre de 2017. Solo líderes locales y unos 200 invitados adicionales asistieron a la ceremonia de la primera palada. La ceremonia de la primera palada, que incluye una oración dedicatoria, fue transmitida en vivo vía satélite a centros de reuniones en Haití y otras congregaciones que rodean la isla.

Dedicación
El templo SUD de Puerto Príncipe fue dedicado para sus actividades eclesiásticas en tres sesiones el 1 de septiembre de 2019, por David A. Bednar, miembro del cuórum de los Doce Apóstoles SUD. Entre el 3 y el 17 de agosto, la iglesia permitió un recorrido público de las instalaciones y del interior del templo.

India vs England: Ollie Pope ready to emulate England team mate Sam Curran
Cricket - England nets - Lord's, London, Britain - August 7, 2018 England's Ollie Pope during nets Action Images via Reuters/Paul Childs
Ollie Pope has come a long way in a short time and says he will be ready if, as looks likely, he makes his England debut against India at Lord's on Thursday.
Young Surrey batsman Ollie Pope has come a long way in a short time and says he will be ready if, as looks likely, he makes his England debut against India at Lord's on Thursday.
The 20-year-old has only 15 first-class matches under his belt but looks certain to play in the second Test in place of dropped Dawid Malan.
Pope will use the example set by county teammate Sam Curran who shone in last week's first match of the series, his second Test appearance, with a five-wicket haul in India's first innings and a crucial half-century in England's second.
"It's almost that naivety in the whole thing," Pope told reporters at Lord's on Tuesday. "I think I'm probably similar to him (Curran) — just ready to put the shirt on and just want to perform at my best. We've both played a fair bit of county cricket now and things have gone on an upward spiral."
It has been a whirlwind rise and Pope admits it has been hard to take in. "If someone told me I'd be in the squad for the second Test at Lord's at the start of the season, I wouldn't have really believed them," Pope, who is averaging 85 for Surrey in the county championship this year, said.
"Likewise, if someone told me I was going to make my Championship debut last year, I wouldn't have believed them. It's nice to do it with Sam in the same team. When I made my Surrey debut there were four 19-year-olds in there at the same time. Things happen quickly. It's exciting."
Pope, who is comfortable dealing with spin, bats at six for Surrey but could even be asked to go in at four for his country.
"If required (to bat at four), yes," Pope said. "Especially against this Indian side. They bowl a lot of spin, so I don't think there's a massive difference. When I bat at six I can be in in the 10th over or for the second new ball. Four to six region, I don't think there's a massive difference in the way you play." England won the first Test in the five-match series by 31 runs.
