When does robbery become aggravated?
On behalf of The Law Office of Massey McClusky McClusky & Fuchs | Apr 25, 2019 | Uncategorized
Most of us understand robbery as a more violent form of theft. On top of robbery, there's the even more serious and violent aggravated robbery. How is a robbery aggravated when it's already a violent act? There's actually a simple way to distinguish the two.
Aggravated robbery occurs when a deadly weapon is present during the theft or the victim sustains a serious injury.
Serious injury must occur during, not after a robbery
A Supreme Court of Tennessee ruling in 2017 clarified the law on aggravated robbery in a case in which two people robbed two other people at gunpoint. After the victim complied, the defendants placed one of the victims in the trunk of their vehicle and the victim fought back, leading to the defendant shot them four times.
The defendants appealed the jury's guilty conviction by arguing that the injury occurred after the robbery, not during. A judge denied the appeal ruling that the robbery was, in fact, incomplete because the defendants demanded the victim's keys which implied they were eventually going to take the car. Because the car remained present and the victim was injured while fighting for the gun, the robbery was deemed incomplete.
By arguing that the defendants injured the victims after the robbery, the defense hoped to have the charges dropped from especially aggravated robbery to aggravated robbery and assault. Had their appeal succeeded, they would have been guilty of a Class C felony instead of a Class B felony, which would have reduced their punishments.
A key distinction
Especially aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery are two serious charges. Despite having some similarities, the difference is enough to make a significant difference in sentencing. The ultimate key to differentiating the two is presence of a deadly weapon, a serious injury sustained by the victim and when that injury happened.

North Texas man tries to find family after discovering camera filled with home videos
'I have a three-year-old and a seven-year-old and I'd love to have videos, if I lost them,' Kokel said.
Author: Alex Rozier (WFAA)
A North Texas man is trying to find a family who owns a handheld video camera filled with dozens of family memories. Jordan Kokel admits he found the camera 10 to 12 years ago, but life got busy and he moved on. Now he's renewing his search, hoping the power of television and social media leads him to the owner.
At the time, Kokel saved the video from the camera to a hard drive. He recently stumbled on the video.
"Over the past 10 years I just kind of forgot about it, went to look for a video of my grandfather who passed away and I went to look for a video for my mom, and I stumbled across the old videos," Kokel said. "And I thought, 'You know what? Now I can put it on Facebook.'"
RELATED: 5 children, including Parker County girl, fight MIS-C at Cook Children's; mom tells parents to learn the signs
The videos show a family celebrating a variety of life events, it appears they may be fans of the University of Missouri Tigers and the Texas Rangers.
"I felt a little bit like a detective going through the background or like the jerseys, and the jerseys for the University of Missouri," Kokel said. "I guess I'm not a very good detective because I couldn't figure too much out."
"It was a bunch of kids at pep rallies and cheer competitions and throwing footballs with their parents," Kokel added.
RELATED: New Year's snowfall: Your pictures from across North Texas
As a parent, he knows these memories are precious and only happen once.
"I have a three-year-old and a seven-year-old and I'd love to have videos, if I lost them," Kokel said.
Jordan believes there may be a lesson here.
"I think you when you find something, find a wallet, find a camera, try to find the owner," Kokel said. "I'm doing it a little bit late due to inabilities, but I think it's important for us as a society and as people to try and do the right thing. People want their wallets and their memories."
If you know the family in the video, feel free to contact WFAA reporter Alex Rozier at arozier@wfaa.com.


A common issue when shopping for countertop fabrication is the enormous variances in pricing for shop to shop. From someone who is typically considered a higher priced company, all I can say is that "you get what you pay for" or "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is".
We are constantly compared to other company's bids, but at the end of the day it is never apples to apples. There are a number of things that can contribute to such differences in price.
1) They are not including everything. A number of companies will seem like the low bid, but will exclude a lot of charges that others include. They may charge extra for edge profiles, sink cutouts, removal of old tops or sealing after they provide you with a price and ultimately when it is all said and done, it costs you more than the others did originally.
2) They are not providing you the quality of fabrication and/or installation. There are a number of corners that can be cut when fabricating countertops. If a price is significantly lower than another company they are more than likely sacrificing something somewhere. Examples would be not polishing edges to the fullest extent possible, using discounted slabs that have imperfections, using installation methods that produce cost savings, not sealing tops or using inferior sealers.
In short, just remember that the next time you think the higher priced company is trying to make a killer profit on you, it just might be the opposite and the lower priced company is so much lower because they are giving you a product that is far from perfect.


Not Now Tomorrow by Alice M Bowman is the story of the Rabaul Nurses; a small group of Australian civilian and army nurses captured in New Guinea at the beginning of the Pacific theatre (1942 - 1945) of the Second World War (WW2), which began in Europe in 1939. The book traces the nurses' story, from the approach of war in Rabaul, New Guinea, until its dramatic end in Japan.
Under the house name of Daisy Press, Not Now Tomorrow was published in 1997 by Bowie's step-daughter, Claire Déglon Marriott.
Not Now Tomorrow was bound and printed in Sydney, Australia, by DLT Printing and although the imprint page states 1996 when the manuscript was sent to the printers, the book was not actually launched until 1997. The format is a perfect bound book, with a hard-card cover and dust jacket; there are 264 pages printed on quality paper, with bibliography and notes. The pages are supported with photographs and maps, forms and newspaper headlines and enhanced with twenty-one illustrations by Claire's husband Graham Marriott (some appearing in this web site).
The production of Alice M Bowman's book, Not Now Tomorrow, was one of those rare events in the re-telling of World War II history and provides an opportunity for all Australians to learn about the story of the Rabaul Nurses and the larger canvas of the fall of Rabaul to the Japanese and the tragic consequences, which to this day remain unresolved.
For purchase of the book or any questions you may have, please make contact via this link.
Prices quoted are applicable within Australia only. Every effort is made to ensure accuracy of price and availability of book at time of printing, but it may be necessary to increase price and/or postage under certain circumstances.

HiMy BSNL Broad Band Dataone connection disconnects every half hour if I dont download at least 5MB in half hour. I called Bsnl technical people and asked them why ?. But they said that I have to look for that myself and that they have everything right on their side. I am using Win XP with latest service pack (SP2)If I download more than 5 MB in half hour, the connection stays on for unlimited time. When ever I just keep the connection on with out downloading or downloading small amounts (just browsing) it hangs up. I also checked my connection properties and have the "idle connection hang up time" to NEVER.Please helpThanks.

Please help me find some solution.
You might not get a meaningful response, because your problem seems quite unique. Dataone is quite reliable otherwise, and as many members would vouch, there seldom are technical problems. Also, technically, it does not seem to make sense that your connection will be stable if you download min so much data, otherwise it becomes unstable.You might want to take a good look at your hardware and setup before concluding that it is a dataone problem.
Which modem do you use? Although you have mentioned earlier that your "disconnect if idle" is set correctly, it might be worth taking another good look at that - if you are getting disconnected after every hour when there is no activity, this could be the most likely cause.
There is a bug in WINXP SP2. I've heard about this long time back. You have to install a patch to fix the issue but I forgot the URL. I would suggest you to uninstall SP2 and check out.

I see that people from many states have this problem. I tried pinging but it does not help.
I think BSNL is doing this on purpose. But when I contacted them again today they said that there is nothing like that in their software and that even if you just download 10 KB in 24 hrs, u can still be online with out disconnects.
BUT this is not true. They are lying.
I think at any given time they want to keep the number of connections as low as possible. So they are disconnecting connections which are idle for say - 30 mts and they are assigning that IP to some others. I think as Dataone is in its early stage of development, they do not have sufficient number of IP address. So that is why they are not able to issue a static IP address to every Dataone user. They are using dynamic IP for every one.
On the Dataone enrollment application, they even mentioned that for the time being only dynamic IP will be issued and in future they plan to implement static IP for every user.
So till then we have to move forward with this disconnection problem.
Remember that this disconnection occurs only if you dont download more than some 3 or 5 MB with in a time limit of 30 mts. So if you want to download some thing at night 2 - 8 am, then you wont get disconnected at all as you would be downloading 256 Kb (bits) or 32KB (bytes) every sec.
If anyone has a solution to this 30 min disconnects which defies BSNL timer please post your solution/solutions here.
I am using modem given by BSNL.
what i cannot gauge is what has static & dynamic ip got to do with this disconnection thing? the lower the connections at any given moment of time, the lower the revenues to be earned by `bsnl'. a dynamic i.p. remains allotted to the person who last used it for roughly 5 minutes after he/she disconnects or is force-disconnected.. doubt whether `bsnl' can know in advance that someone will be connecting within the next 6 minutes so that they can disconnect another.juhitoy, it would be best if you could try to get in touch with some other people who are in the same exchange as yours and try to find out if they face the same problem.. if yes, then the problem is with the instruments at your exchange. best is that you demand from bsnl to send an engineer with a laptop so that the problems can be shown to him at your place. just be persistent and they will send. best of luck.. Pupudada!


Of course, you will also want to provide space near all of these seating arrangements for snacks and drinks, as most people like to enjoy something while they are watching the television. Providing a table for every seat is generally a good rule of thumb to follow. It will give everyone the space to set something down while they become absorbed in what they are doing.

And if they think Modern Family at 6pm is going to do something they're insane. That show is so hard to watch now because they show so many repeats. Can never tell what's new and what's old, until the show starts at least. Just doesn't repeat well.
Ten just don't seem to market shows. Have never seen an ad for Wake Up during The Project, not even The Biggest Loser. It's like they want it to crash and burn.
The Project's numbers are bad, which is such a shame because the show's so good. Such a tight production now. It's such a shame they moved it around so much, but I'll watch religiously until it (inevitably) gets axed.
February 22, 2014 12:55 pm at 12:55 pm
Shame that Sherlock has struggled so much
February 22, 2014 4:08 am at 4:08 am
Ten don't need to move the project they just need to cut it to 30 mins. You can tell watching it it's strung out way too long with boring stories just to fill time.
carolemorrissey says:
I can't believe Sunrise still beat Today yesterday when Robbie Williams was on. Not much of a fan myself, but he seems to be pretty popular.
10 have some great shows coming up after the Olympics, hopefully some of them will get them out of the doldrums. Don't think they can change the time of The Project, it's been moved around too many times before.
Sammo360 says:
@Aussie_Austridge – Axing The Simpsons from *all* their channels. Are you serious? It doesn't deserve axing from Ten let alone Eleven.
Aussie_Austridge says:
Ten has only itself to blame for its parlous position. Time after time I have written on this & other sites that the network will never recover until The Simpsons is taken off. It is a fact of TV life that old programs need to be removed to keep the station in front no matter how many complain. 9 did this with Young & Restless and Days Of Our Lives. I suggested this on mumBrella & someone named The Bear who worked at Ten said that every time Ten tried to move the show out of 6PM they were flooded with complaints. Ten needs to ignore the '80s tragics, axe The Simpsons from *all* their channels & offer something new and popular.
It is out of 6pm. Modern Family is in.
FKlein says:
I can not wait till Ten announce a time slot change for the project. Every person on here has a solution it seems. I do wonder why there has been no change to the projects time slot…… yet. But please channel Ten make some sort of change soon, move it to bloody midnight for all I care I am just sick of reading about it.
officially_k says:
@deedeedragons
I believe Samantha armytage happened ! 🙂
DOGES33 says:
Keep the project at 630PM to 730PM just change the team to Roy and HG
joey69 says:
You would think that from some of the comments below, that TEN needs to be shut down! .What a poorer place we would be with a 7 & 9 duopoly! FTA needs competition not lack of. Hope what ever is going on at TEN is sorted out quick. I believe the stigma of the Murdoch family has a part in it. Maybe it is some grand plan by NEWS to run down the joint and take it over. whatever it is please get back in the competition and give us an alternative to the garbage that is currently rammed down out throats.
deedeedragons says:
Didn't Today rate closer to Sunrise last year? What happened
Mark W says:
The Project needs Hughsie again to boost numbers..or maybe Rove could do a few nights a week.
Secret Squirrel says:
The Checkout was great last night, think it's actually improved a little bit. I'm also enjoying Rectify altho' it's a bit of a slow burn. I'm a bit peeved that SBS took a leaf out of Seven's promo book and advertised last night's ep using footage that wasn't in it.
paultv says:
With the ratings for Dynamo, I wonder if 7 have got the hint that the magic "craze" is over? But then again it is Thursday night and 7 have packed up for the week. They'll be back on Sunday.
alvar says:
The Biggest Loser is dead. Even on a less competitive night it still struggles to muster decent numbers. I doubt shifting to 7pm at this stage would help lift numbers.
nik c says:
Wake Up is too late for me. I am heading out the door as it is Waking Up…
smit0847 says:
Sunrise had a ratings uplift when they 'refreshed' their female anchor, I wonder if it would continue if they 'refreshed' their male anchor too.
Kochie looks like Sam's Dad. To have a financial planner interviewing teen pop stars is embarassing.
disappointed says:
I think 10's problem is that they don't market their product to the upteenth degree, unlike 7 who seem to advertise a lot on radio. I feel like every time I'm in the car driving home that all i hear is advertising for a 7 show and it sticks in your head once you're home. There does not appear to be much advertising done for Wake Up, whether it is on 10 itself or on radio. Whereas 7 and 9 are constantly promoting Sunrise and Today respectively.
ohdenny says:
Looks like TEN needs a major shakeup from 6pm onwards as well as the mornings.
The Project has been doing awful numbers this year.
randwick says:

Something's happening in the skies above Western Canada. Something unusual, fast-moving, and colorful. Is it angels? Aliens? Or a secret government experiment? Actually, it's none of the above. The truth is out there, and its name is Steve.
STEVE isn't a who, it's an aurora. That is, a gorgeous light show in the night sky. The name is a "backronym" that stands for Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement. Citizen scientists named the phenomenon "Steve," because the name sounded friendly and informal. Later, scientists came up with a description (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement) that fit with the name.
But what is this phenomenon, and what does it mean?
Generally speaking, an aurora is what happens when the sun sends out charged particles, and those particles interact with neutral particles in the Earth's atmosphere.
Image is CC SA 3.0, by Editor At Large, via Wikimedia Commons.
There are different kinds of auroras. The first kind forms when the Earth's magnetic field guides the sun's charged particles toward the upper atmosphere at its poles. There, they interact with oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements. As a result, this interaction creates the dazzling displays of color known as the northern (or southern) lights.
The northern lights and southern lights are also called the aurora borealis and the aurora australis. In addition, different elements create different colors. And the result is a beautiful light show over the North or South Pole.
But now, scientists have discovered a third kind.

There is an electric field in the regions where people spot STEVE. This field points toward the poles. A second field – a magnetic field – points downward. The combination creates a strong drift toward the west. And the flow in the Earth's ionosphere pulls the charged solar particles to the west. Along the way, they hit neutral particles and heat them up. The result is upward reaching, westward-moving streaks of light.

In addition to forming in a different way, STEVE looks different.
First, it takes place in a different part of the sky. The northern and southern lights form over the North and South poles, respectively. STEVE forms farther south. As a result, more people can see it.
Second, STEVE is an unusual color. The northern and southern lights can be green, pink, red, blue, or violet. STEVE consists of purplish-green streaks.
STEVE also moves differently. The northern and southern lights ripple horizontally across the sky. But STEVE is a distinctive, vertical streak that moves westward.
Want to Help the STEVE Project?
STEVE was discovered by citizen scientists, rather than professional scientists. What's a "citizen scientist," you might ask. Citizen scientists are members of the general public, who undertake scientific research and work, generally on a volunteer basis. Citizen scientists may or may not have scientific training. However, they do a lot of valuable work, especially in the areas of observation and reporting. Citizen scientists provide valuable "boots on the ground" support for professional scientists. In addition, they have been important to scientific initiatives in many fields, including astronomy, oceanography, zoology, and more.
Are you interested in becoming an Aurora Chaser like the ones who discovered STEVE? Or maybe you'd like to help the STEVE project. Or perhaps you're interested in citizen science in a different field. Well, you're in luck. Citizen science is bigger and more active than ever, and there are lots of ways you can contribute.
Aurorasaurus is a crowdsourcing project run by Elizabeth MacDonald. The project attempts to track auroras through social media postings about them. The data the project gathers will help scientists to better predict not only auroras, but potentially damaging geomagnetic storms. Read more about the project at Space.com.
In addition, if you have photographed STEVE, both NASA and Space.com are interested in your photos.
Finally, Zooniverse has a number of opportunities for aspiring citizen scientists to contribute to dozens of projects in many fields. These projects include the Galaxy Zoo (astronomy), Snapshot Serengeti (zoology), and Shakespeare's World (literature).
The universe is a vast place, full of fascinating phenomena. And now, more than ever before, ordinary people have the opportunity to be part of new discoveries. What's your interest? Astronomy? Nature? History? Chances are, there's a group of people near you who share your interest. And chances are even greater that, as a citizen scientist, you, too, can help make new discoveries.

Владислав I Влайку () (близько 1325 — бл. 1377) — Волощини з династії Басарабів, (1364 — бл. 1377), старший син і наступник волоського воєводи Ніколає Александру.

Життєпис

У 1364 році після смерті свого батька, Ніколає Александру, Владислав Влайку успадкував волоський трон. Він був васалом болгарського царя Івана Олександра. У правління Владислава I відносини з Угорським королівством залишалися вкрай напруженими. Угорський король Лайош I Великий в 1365 році захопив Видин, столицю Відінського царства, а в 1370 році зайняв королівський престол у Польському королівстві. У 1366 році волоський воєвода Владислав I змушений був підписати перемир'я з Угорщиною і визнати себе васалом Лайоша Великого. Натомість угорський король закріпив за воєводою Волощини володіння Северіном, Амлашем і Фегерашом. У 1368 році угорські війська вторглися в Волощину, але були розбиті волоським прикордонним воєначальником Драгомиром. У 1369 в Валахію вперше вторглися загони турків-османів. У 1371 союзну македонсько-волоське військо було розгромлене турками у битві на річці Маріца. В 1375 році угорці відібрали у Владислава Банат Северін. У 1377 р. під натиском боярської опозиції Владислав I Влайку змушений був відмовитися від трону на користь свого молодшого брата Раду I.

I just love my little Prince I got from Judy 10 months ago. He is an excellent addition to my life and home. Getting Prince was a very easy process and Judy continually kept me updated on his process and provided me with growth information and pictures until I picked him up to come to his forever home.
Our female shihtzu, Roxie, is so loving and sweet. We had a wonderful experience getting her from Judy. She is nearly 10 months old now and the love of our lives. She is wonderful with our grandson and loves everybody who comes to visit. It was great that Judy started potty training her before we brought her home.
Dino is six months old now, and I love him more every day. From the day we brought him home at 8 weeks old, he's has been happy, healthy and well-adjusted. We have two 10 year old Miniature Schnauzers who were grumpy about having a puppy in the house, but he soon won them over. Dino plays with the dogs and with the cat. He is loving and smart, and I feel so blessed to have him in our family. Judy's dogs are treasures.
It has been wonderful working with you, Judy. I appreciate that you are communicative and professional. I appreciate your knowledge and experience. I have enjoyed visiting with you and Harvey in your lovely home. The way you talk to and kiss your ShihTzus and puppies is endearing. It is obvious your puppies are loved- spoiled, actually. The headstart you give your puppies on housebreaking by taking them out regularly is so valuable. What a wonderful start you give these precious puppies!

NBA Extends TV Deals with ESPN/ABC & TNT
NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA's new television contracts with ESPN/ABC and TNT include rights to technologies that have yet to be invented, an indication of the importance the deals place on newer forms of media.
The eight-year extensions go through the 2015-16 season. The current six-year contracts expire at the end of next season.
"I consider this to be a wonderful vote of confidence by our very sophisticated network partners who are making such a substantial and long-term commitment," NBA commissioner David Stern said.
The number of games televised on the networks won't change much. What's different are the extensive rights for the networks to broadcast games and other content on the Web and mobile phones.
The NBA will receive about $930 million a year for all its broadcast rights, an increase of more than 20 percent from the previous average of $767 million, according to a person familiar with the deal who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release details.
The previous contracts, though, did not include the extensive digital media rights. Stern said the traditional TV rights are still worth more than the digital rights, but the packages do not break down the payments for each type separately.
ESPN/ABC and TNT will each be able to simulcast and offer video on-demand for games that air on its networks.
Stern and network executives downplayed the league's declining TV ratings, insisting there is still plenty of demand for NBA-related content through other forms of media.
San Antonio's recent four-game sweep of Cleveland finished with a record-low 6.2 television rating and 11 share on ABC.
"We are in this for the long term with the NBA," said George Bodenheimer, the president of ESPN, Inc. and ABC Sports. "Sports is cyclical; they go up and down.... But it's an incredibly consistent property for us."
The challenge is measuring the level of use of new media in the way that Nielsen ratings gauge TV viewing.
"You're going to see far more people enjoying this sport within the TNT brand not just on a linear channel, but all the digital aspects," said David Levy, president of Turner Sports. "That's how we are looking at this, as the aggregation of the eyeballs, people, viewers and consumers. We do see growth in this property."
The networks will have exclusive coverage of the conference semifinals, which means the games won't also air on teams' local stations. The new deal allows the networks to choose games involving the league's most popular teams more often during the regular season.
ABC will continue to air 15 regular season games and the entire NBA finals and will televise an increased number of games earlier in the playoffs. The maximum number of times a certain team can appear on the network during the regular season has been increased.
ESPN and ESPN2 will continue to show up to 75 regular season games as well as one of the conference finals. ESPN will increase the number of early round playoff games it airs.
TNT will continue to air 52 regular season games, the All-Star game and the majority of the playoff games, including one of the conference finals.
The contract also includes new rights for ESPN International to televise games worldwide.

Transparency Market Research (TMR) has published a new report titled "Cardiac Biomarker Diagnostic Kits Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026." According to the report, the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market was valued at US$ 2,100 Bn in 2017. It is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2018 to 2026. Rise in number of patients with cardiovascular diseases globally is a major factor driving the cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of deaths across the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs accounted for over 17.7 million deaths in 2015, which represents 31% of the total deaths globally. The number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease is expected to be more than 23.6 million by 2030. Rise in the number of deaths associated with cardiovascular disease is likely to add to the cost of management of the disease. The global burden due to cardiovascular disease was US$ 863 Bn in 2010, which is expected to increase to US$ 1,044 Bn by 2030.
The report offers detailed segmentation of the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market based on disease indication, product, testing, and end-user. The market has also been segregated based on region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa). The troponin segment is likely to drive the global market. Key players are tapping opportunities to introduce high sensitive troponin biomarker, which is becoming a preferred choice for the diagnosis of heart attack, thereby driving the cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market.
The global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market has been segmented based on test type, disease indication, product, end-user, and region. Based on product, the market is categorized into troponin test kits, bnp test kit, CK-MB test kits, myoglobin test kits, c-reactive protein (hsCRP), and others (galectin-3, H-FABP, myeloperoxidase, ischemia-modified albumin, and homocysteine). In terms of disease indication, angina pectoris, myocardial infraction, cardiac heart failure, and others are major segments of the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market.
Based on product type, the troponin segment accounted for a prominent share of the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market in 2017. This segment is expected to maintain its leading position in the global market during the forecast period. Key factors driving the market include an increase in prevalence of various types of cardiac diseases and rise in incidences of cardiac related diseases to the vital organs. Toponin possess fast processing abilities and provides quality results, as compared to other tests. Consequently, it is being highly preferred by healthcare specialists.
Based on disease indication, the angina pectoris segment held a notable share of the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market in 2017. This segment is expected to expand during the forecast period owing to an increase in the prevalence of angina pectoris across globe, rise in instances of cigarette smoking among the global population, and increase in the geriatric population. Moreover, several technological advancements are occurring with regards to decreasing side-effects associated with biomarkers tests and early detection of the illness. These advancements too are driving the demand for cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits globally.
In terms of region, the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Latin America, and North America. North America dominated the global market in 2017, owing to increasing healthcare expenditure leading to a rise in demand for better diagnostic tests and health care services, and widespread technological advancements in the field of cardiac biomarkers occurring in the region. However, the market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a significant pace by 2026, due to the availability of a large patient pool and increasing awareness about deadly healthcare concerns. Additionally, high percentage of geriatric population and increasing disposable incomes are also expected to propel the market in the region..
Major players operating in the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market are Abbott Laboratories, Hoffmann-La Roche AG, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Danaher Corporation, Siemens Healthineers, Thermofisher Scientific, bioMérieux, Randox Laboratories Ltd., and Ortho Clinical Diagnostics. They account for a significant share of the global market. The market is characterized by a large number of acquisitions, which has led to market consolidation and increasing dominance of top players. In 2017, Abbott completed its acquisition of Alere, concluding a deal first announced in February 2016. Abbott Laboratories, Hoffmann-La Roche AG, and Siemens Healthineers hold the major share of the global cardiac biomarker diagnostic kits market.


SHAREHOLDERS will be able to sue companies that give a sacked director more than a year's salary as a pay-off under a Tory MP's Bill being debated in the Commons later this week.
The so-called 'payment for failure' Bill proposed by Tory backbencher Archie Norman is aimed at curbing huge 'fat-cat' compensation packages for directors who have underperformed. The Bill would give shareholders the legal right to force companies to disclose the level of compensation agreed with any directors within 10 days.
If the amount is more than a year's pay, shareholders could challenge the company in the courts on the grounds that the payment was not 'fair and reasonable'. The company would also have to justify every payment over a year's salary in its report and accounts.
The Private Members Bill, which is co-sponsored by the Labour chairman of the Trade and Industry Select Committee, Martin O'Neill, has its Second Reading debate in the Commons on Friday.
Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt is said to be sympathetic to the aims of the Bill but the Government is unlikely to throw its backing behind Norman's proposals. A spokesman for Department of Trade and Industry said the Bill was 'not necessarily the best way' to go about reining-in pay-offs.

Q: Strange cell formatting issue in datagridview vb.net I have a datagridview that when I use the following code:
DataGridView1.Rows(RowNum).Cells("TotalTime").Value = "12:34:--"

I would expect the display to show "12:34:--" in the grid cell, but instead for some reason it displays "--:12:34" in the cell.  I have tried all kinds of things and it appears the problem is with the "--" (two hyphens).  If I try this code:
DataGridView1.Rows(RowNum).Cells("TotalTime").Value = "12:34:00"

It works perfect and the display is "12:34:00" as you would expect. Does anyone have any ideas why this is?

    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Col1", "TotalTime")
    Dim RowNum As Integer = 0
    DataGridView1.Rows(RowNum).Cells("Col1").Value = "12:34:--"

The full story is detailed in Alan Light's terrific book The Holy or the Broken, but here's the short version: The Velvet Underground's John Cale came across this obscure song and contacted Leonard to see if there are any extra words. Leonard proceeded to send him 80 verses worth, from which Cale selected a couple. But the important change was not lyrical, but musical. Cohen's original recording suffers from instantly-dated 1980s production. Cale's solo piano cover strips away the synths and drum machines, revealing the stunning song underneath the gloss. He created the template that everyone still follows.
Fast-forward a few years. Jeff Buckley heard John Cale's version and decided to cover it himself. You know the rest. A track Leonard Cohen's U.S. label refused to even release became his most famous song. And all because of this tribute album.
So that's the very specific influence this album had. But even before Buckley took Cale's "Hallelujah" cover supernova, I'm Your Fan helped revive Cohen's reputation. Like many artists of his generation, Cohen was seen as a has-been by the 1990s, when he was thought of at all. Having the coolest young acts – R.E.M., the Pixies, James – covering his songs marked him as cool again. It set the stage for everything that happened subsequently. Because they didn't just cover his hits of yesterday, "Suzanne" and the like. They covered his newest material, including many of the songs his label hadn't even deemed worth releasing.
If Cale hadn't reimagined "Hallelujah," this could well have been the important track here. A hugely popular young band took a recent Cohen recording that a) no one knew and b) suffered from some very cheesy production anyway. And they transform it. The song becomes weird and edgy and aggressive – styles that were musically quite "in" in the early 1990s. You wouldn't know it from Cohen's original, but it fit perfectly in the era once R.E.M. grabbed ahold.
If you were compiling a tribute album in the 1990s, you might bring in the Pixies as a ringer. Their squalling "Winterlong" highlights Neil Young tribute The Bridge. Their punk "Ain't That Pretty At All" elevates Warren Zevon tribute Enjoy Every Sandwich. And "I Can't Forget" energizes a throwaway on the original I'm Your Man, replacing synthesized marimbas (oof) with guitar feedback and drum machines with more guitar feedback.
This starts off as a fairly conservative cover, arranged much like Leonard Cohen's early work: Prominent acoustic guitar, melodic bass line, tambourine. If you're covering late-'60s Leonard, this is not a wildly imaginative direction. But just wait. Over the course of five minutes this cover builds and mutates, going from a soft ballad to a percussive feedback squall. It, ironically, sounds more like the Velvet Underground than John Cale himself does.
I've talked about how these covers were so of-the-moment in the early 1990s, embracing college rock and grunge. This one, though, is of a different moment: the early 1980s. It channels Joy Division's post-punk and Depeche Mode's cool electronica, using synthesizers and drum loops far better than Cohen himself ever did.
Speaking of the fruit pictured on Leonard's album… this cover is bananas. And there's a reason. It was culled from an hour-long jam session where they covered the track in a variety of genres. That's why it abruptly lurches from Cave the garage rocker to Cave the country crooner to Cave the slam poet. It's fascinating, less one great cover than a half-dozen awkwardly slammed together. More than anything, it makes me want to hear the full hour.
This is the first of a two-part series. Check out the second part, our look at the equally great – though much, much less cool – Cohen tribute album 'Tower of Song'.
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is now an university course lesson. Professor David Goza, DMA, has made the song the first in an educational series for the World Music classes at University of Oklahoma: https://cohencentric.com/2018/02/21/think-music-david-goza-featuring-allison-crowes-cover-hallelujah-leonard-cohen Wonderful, already, serving as I do as manager to musician Allison Crowe, it's a real pleasure Dr. Goza's chosen Allison's take on Cohen's tune as exemplary of foundational music principles. Sure, the song's covered by many – even lots of corporate acts – but there's no denying its universality and how much it means to people all over this world. The use of the John Cale recording in the movie "Shrek" (and Rufus Wainwright's version on the OS) opened the door for a new generation.

COVID-19: Council removes Jordan and Namibia from the list of countries for which travel restrictions should be lifted
BRUSSELS: Following a review under the recommendation on the gradual lifting of the temporary restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU, the Council updated the list of countries, special administrative regions and other entities and territorial authorities for which travel restrictions should be lifted. In particular Jordan and Namibia were removed from the list.
This review is a regular process, taking into account a defined set of criteria which were last updated on 20 May 2021. They cover the epidemiological situation and overall response to COVID-19, as well as the reliability of the available information and data sources. Reciprocity should also be taken into account on a case by case basis. As stipulated in the Council recommendation, this list will continue to be reviewed every two weeks and, as the case may be, updated.
Based on the criteria and conditions set out in the recommendation, as from 2 December 2021 member states should gradually lift the travel restrictions at the external borders for residents of the following third countries:
China, subject to confirmation of reciprocity
Travel restrictions should also be gradually lifted for the special administrative regions of China Hong Kong and Macao.
Under the category of entities and territorial authorities that are not recognised as states by at least one member state, travel restrictions for Taiwan should also be gradually lifted.
Residents of Andorra, Monaco, San Marino and the Vatican should be considered as EU residents for the purpose of this recommendation.
Schengen associated countries (Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, Switzerland) also take part in this recommendation.
On 30 June 2020 the Council adopted a recommendation on the gradual lifting of the temporary restrictions on non-essential travel into the EU. This recommendation included an initial list of countries for which member states should start lifting the travel restrictions at the external borders. The list is reviewed every two weeks and, as the case may be, updated.
On 20 May, the Council adopted an amending recommendation to respond to the ongoing vaccination campaigns by introducing certain waivers for vaccinated persons and easing the criteria to lift restrictions for third countries. At the same time, the amendments take into account the possible risks posed by new variants by setting out an emergency brake mechanism to quickly react to the emergence of a variant of interest or concern in a third country.
On 26 November, EU countries meeting in a high-level IPCR roundtable to coordinate the EU response to the emergence of new COVID-19 variant Omicron agreed to activate the emergency brake and to impose temporary restrictions on all travel into the EU from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
The Council recommendation is not a legally binding instrument. The authorities of the member states remain responsible for implementing the content of the recommendation. They may, in full transparency, lift only progressively travel restrictions towards countries listed.
A Member State should not decide to lift the travel restrictions for non-listed third countries before this has been decided in a coordinated manner.

Right to Repair in Times of Pandemic
By Cory Doctorow
Entropy isn't just a word, it's the (second) law (of thermodynamics): the idea that things tend towards chaos and brokenness. That's why the Right to Repair is so close to our heart: fixing things is nothing less than the embodiment of the ancient struggle to wring order from chaos, to stave off deterioration and collapse.
It's no coincidence that farmers are the vanguard for Right to Repair. People who live in rural, low-population zones have to fend for themselves when entropy is visited upon their tools. Farmers can't wait for days or weeks for a part or a service technician: they literally have to make hay while the sun shines. Since the dawn of agriculture, farmers have been making and adapting their tools, and workshops and even forges are mainstays of agricultural life.
We can't simply leave our hospitals undersupplied or sitting on broken hardware until the emergency has passed.
Coronavirus has given us all a taste of what life is like for farmers and other people far from repair and parts. With global supply chains in chaos and whole cities on lockdown, broken things might not get fixed unless you can fix them.
Lucky for us, we still have the Internet, which is full of repair instructions (including iFixit's massive repository of "repair guides for every thing") and we have more access to tools than at any time in history, including—for some of us—futuristic tools-that-make-tools, like laser-cutters, CNC mills, and 3D printers.
These have already begun to play a key role in the pandemic. A hospital in Brescia, Italy reportedly rehabilitated a broken, urgently needed Venturi oxygen mask for the hospital's ventilator with help from local 3D printing entrepreneurs who brought their printer to the hospital, designed a replacement part on the spot, and printed it out, successfully repairing the respirator so that it could be used to save lives.
The story is a heartwarming mix of modern miracle and solidarity in a crisis, but there's more going on under the surface.
It turns out that the reason that the part had to be designed from scratch is that the manufacturer refused to help with the project. One of the people involved says that he was threatened with patent litigation if he tried; his colleagues differ on the matter, but they agree that the company refused to share design files. And sending threats or not, the part's designer still says he will not distribute the plans for a replacement.
All around the world, there is a shortage of ventilators and ventilator parts—and at the same time, the country that does the lion's share of high-tech manufacturing, China, is running at extremely reduced capacity. While online communities are crowdsourcing multiple plans for open source hardware ventilators and other pandemic-related technology, the most important thing they and companies can do is work in concert to keep existing, tested tech functional.
Getting this kind of med-tech project right is important, and it's hard. The global supply-chain shutdown has revealed the fragility of long distance, complex manufacturing systems that are organized around central hubs that represent points of critical failure. The surge in open source hardware designs and parts for medical equipment during the emergency represents a distributed, urgently needed decentralization of our world's critical manufacturing capacity. Even as these distributed efforts reduce the hazards of failing health systems, they have the potential to create their own hazards. The best way to ensure that emergency repairs and modifications are safe is for original manufacturers to cooperate with community technicians. Indeed, that's the only way—we can't simply leave our hospitals undersupplied or sitting on broken hardware until the emergency has passed.
The very nature of emergency medicine means that front-line professionals must make decisions about how to keep their equipment running when it is not fully functional. Even under normal circumstances, there aren't always timely, reliable sources of parts and skilled service. The right person to decide whether a field repair should be attempted, and whether the repair is solid enough to rely upon are medical professionals, not the shareholders of med-tech companies or the lawyers who write their terms of service and patent applications.
We are all like farmers now—isolated, with machinery that we can't afford to let sit idle until a distant company can help us repair it. Today, we need those companies to step up by providing repair instructions, specifications, and technical aid to the global volunteer corps of makers and fixers who have given themselves over to helping us all weather this calamity.

Continuing my posts on the monthly ancient Greek holy days, the 7th is a time to celebrate the birthday of Apollon (Apollo in Latin). Some of us may not have even known that difference in transliteration because we're so used to hearing His Latin or Roman name, but in Greek, there's actually an N as the last letter. Although many Hellenes also probably simply say Apollo. On the 7th day of each month, His birthday is celebrated, like that of His sister, Artemis, on the 6th.
and bringing our minds and lives to insight with your enlightenment and arts.
This day of your birth graced the Universe with the noblest of Gods.
and return to heaven with me and my family in your heart and mind forever.
Gifts and offerings appropriate to Apollon throughout the day can include things like laurel or bay leaves, hecatomb or cattle meat such as beef and steak, frankincense specifically since Orpheus directly lists it as a favorite of Apollon, and libations of wine. One could also compose a hymn for the God, especially if it can be sung or presented to the tune of a lyre. As always, don't forget to include in your prayers and worship something to personally connect you with Apollon. You might pray for a sick family member, to keep illness away from you or said member, to banish negativity or evil from your life, or to excel in the arts in some form.


Learn hacking, not ABCs | The Devel!
While looking for a place to start learning programming, my friend Phil brought this to my attention: Codecademy Closes $10 Million Round. He asked me what I think of it [as a place for him to start].
While I applaud their existence, and congratulate their funding, I doubt I would've gotten into programming if I were introduced via something like Codecademy.
I'm lazy, impatient and have lots of things I'd rather be doing than whatever I'm doing right now. And I definitely don't want to sit through grammar school, regardless of whether it was English language or the lovely Ruby programming language. I find programming interesting only because gets me results.
Story was, our home PC's 40mb hard disk crashed and we were left with whatever that was on floppies. My brother borrowed a book from the library with computer games inside. I would boot up the computer, ran "gwbasic", choose a game from the book, and type all the gibberish code into the computer, character by character. Some games were a few lines long, some spanned a few pages. After everything was typed in, I'd run and play my game.
I remember especially liking a cowboy fast draw turn-based game that had dice roll based on your character's stats (speed, accuracy), distance, dealt damages based on the gun you used and where you hit. It was fun.
Before long I realize I didn't have to transcribe every character in the book. If I changed some numbers, the computer wouldn't know it came from me, and the game would play out differently. I made the games better (or worse, depending on whether you think god-mode is a good thing or not).
Before long I realize I didn't have to transcribe anything from the book. If I'd just written anything I wanted, the computer wouldn't know none of it came from the book. The computer would follow my instructions and run my game like it would run the games from the book.
Wow. I am as authoritative to the computer as The Book.
That's why I'm biased to think that programming should only ever be introduced as a means to get something real done or done faster. Hacking on something you already understand. Then there is a purpose and motivation to learn. Then programming is meaningful. It is sad [to me] to know that some people's first contact with programming would be a dry grammar class (or some patronizing guided tour to nowhere, "yippie, you can count!") that they just have to sit through to learn, no biggie, like everything else they'd done in school.
