Breath acetone as a potential marker in clinical practice
Veronika Ruzsányi, M. Kalapos
In recent decades, two facts have changed the opinion of researchers about the function of acetone in humans. Firstly, it has turned out that acetone cannot be regarded as simply a waste product of metabolism, because there are several pathways in which acetone is produced or broken down. Secondly, methods have emerged making possible its detection in exhaled breath, thereby offering an attractive alternative to investigation of blood and urine samples. From a clinical point of view the measurement of breath acetone levels is important, but there are limitations to its wide application. These limitations can be divided into two classes, technical and biological limits. The technical limits include the storage of samples, detection threshold, standardization of clinical settings, and the price of instruments. When considering the biological ranges of acetone, personal factors such as race, age, gender, weight, food consumption, medication, illicit drugs, and even profession/class have to be taken into account to use concentration information for disorders. In some diseases such as diabetes mellitus and lung cancer, as well as in nutrition-related behavior such as starvation and ketogenic diet, breath acetone has been extensively examined. At the same time, there is a lack of investigations in other cases in which ketosis is also evident, such as in alcoholism or an inborn error of metabolism. In summary, the detection of acetone in exhaled breath is a useful and promising tool for diagnosis and it can be used as a marker to follow the effectiveness of treatments in some disorders. However, further endeavors are needed for clarification of the exact distribution of acetone in different body compartments and evaluation of its complex role in humans, especially in those cases in which a ketotic state also occurs.

What's in This?: Brains
Eating brains could actually make you smarter! Or deader, it's kind of a toss up.
We're often told that you should never eat anything (or put anything on your body) if you don't recognize everything on the ingredients list. But since most of us have no idea what xanthan gum or potassium benzoate are — or more importantly, what they're doing to our bodies — we're decoding the ingredients in the many things Americans put in (and on, or near) themselves.
In the name of Halloween, this week we're devoting the column to exploring the only cuisine beloved by both dedicated gourmands and zombies: Organ meats. Since these are intrinsically single-ingredient foods, rather than analyzing the individual ingredients as we normally do, we'll be examining them based on nutritional value and the like.
This edition: Beef brains, which have been picked apart based on nutritional value down below. Before probing some brains, though, despite the aversion many people have to consuming organ meats, know that humans have been sustained by them since the beginning — hunter-gatherers even prized organ meats more than other animal parts. The belief is that animals back then had much less meat on them — y'know, before we took to engineering them for the sake of eating — which meant organs were often the heartiest option, so to speak.
In more modern times, beef brains in particular are central to an assortment of beloved dishes around the world. Italians, for instance, nosh on fried beef brain morsels, which they lovingly call cervella fritte. Mexicans, meanwhile, regularly munch on tacos de sesos, or calf brain, usually braised and seasoned with chile sauce, then tossed into a tortilla. In the likes of Pakistan, Bangladesh and parts of India, maghaz, a brain-based curry, is incredibly popular. The list goes on.
Now, let's take a look into some beef brains.
1) Protein: Four ounces of beef brain boasts a decent 12.3 grams of protein.
*tosses Muscle Milk and takes bite out of cow's head*
2) Docosahexaenoic Acid: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an important omega-3 fatty acid, most commonly found in seafood. However, four ounces of beef brain contains about one gram of DHA, or about the same as most standard portions of fish and the like. (Note that four ounces is one ounce more than the sensible, but laughably meager three-ounce recommended serving for all kinds of meat, seafood included, but that one extra ounce is also often cooked away, since the juices inside move to the surface during cooking and either linger in the bottom of the pan or evaporate).
As for what DHA does — all kinds of things, actually. On a more general level, omega-3 fatty acids reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease. DHA in particular, though, supports brain growth and function, especially during the early developmental stages. To that end, DHA can also help your brain stay sharp with age, and having too low a level of the substance in your body has been associated with cognitive diseases, like Alzheimer's. DHA can also help preserve eye health, particularly in children. Finally, some research suggests that DHA can kill cancer cells.
3) Minerals: Beef brains are a notably high source of selenium and copper. Selenium works as an antioxidant, preventing free radical damage that could otherwise evolve into cancer. Copper, meanwhile, helps with energy production and maintains your immune system.
4) Vitamins: Vitamins B5 and B12 can be found in abundance in beef brains. Vitamin B5 supports your metabolism, helping convert food into energy. Vitamin B12, meanwhile, helps create DNA and keeps your nerve and blood cells healthy. It also prevents megaloblastic anemia, which makes people tired and weak.
5) Cholesterol: This is one of the potentially problem ingredients in beef brains, as just under four ounces — again, the standard, albeit sad, serving size of meat, which is equivalent in size to the palm of your hand or perhaps a deck of cards — contains a whopping 1,033 percent of the recommended daily intake for cholesterol. In general, brains are relatively fatty — in humans, the brain is the fattiest organ in the body — and since cholesterol is a fatty substance found in blood, which is constantly flowing to the brain, it makes sense why beef brains are so high in cholesterol.
Now, cholesterol is a complex and disruptive subject among nutritionists, however. Many hold that too much of the stuff, especially in people sensitive to dietary cholesterol, is a major risk factor in the development of heart disease. And, y'know, 1,033 percent of the daily recommended amount certainly sounds like too much.
6) Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis: To be clear, bovine spongiform encephalitis is an irregular and extremely uncommon ingredient in beef brains. But it can show up in them, and when it does, the consequences could be deadly. Eating beef brains infected with bovine spongiform encephalitis — also known as Mad Cow Disease — can result in the development of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a deadly neurodegenerative disorder that essentially eats away at your brain until you die. There are currently no cures, either.
Fortunately, this disease is extremely rare — it occurs at a rate of two in every one million people throughout the world — and the USDA requires that all brain and spinal cord materials be removed from high-risk cattle, like those unable to walk or showing signs of neurological problems. In other words, these cow products should theoretically never enter the U.S. food supply. But watch out for that back-alley beef brain.
Overall, beef brain is a pretty healthy food if you can get over the whole mushy, brainy aspect. There are some concerns — namely, the high amounts of cholesterol and the whole death-from-a-degenerative-brain-disorder thing — but so long as you keep your brain-eating to a minimum, which I imagine you will, you should be just fine. Bone apple tea!

Comcast sheds cable customers but adds internet subscribers
April 25, 2019 at 4:00 am Updated April 27, 2019 at 7:08 am
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Comcast kept shedding cable customers and adding home internet customers in its most recent quarter.
Traditional TV providers are losing customers at an increasing rate while streaming companies pop up seemingly every few weeks . To deal with that industry shift online from cable, Comcast has focused on growing its broadband business while integrating streaming apps into its cable box. It is also launching its own NBCUniversal streaming service in 2020.
It's a crowded market. Disney , Apple and AT&T are also launching new streaming services as younger people turn away from the traditional cable bundle.
In the January-March quarter, Comcast added 375,000 internet customers and lost 121,000 video customers.
NBCUniversal's revenue dropped 12.5% to $8.31 billion. Last year, the entertainment division got a big boost from the live sports extravaganzas of the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, both aired on NBC. Those live sports events pull in more viewers than usual and get more money from advertisers. Within NBCUniversal, a bright spot was movies, where revenue rose 7%.
The company's new Sky division in Europe, which it bought last year, posted a 5% revenue decline, to $4.8 billion. Comcast Corp. says revenue rose 1.9% if currency changes are taken into account.
Shares jumped 3.6% to $43.35 in morning trading after the cable company's profit topped analyst expectations. Overall, Comcast's net income rose 14% to $3.48 billion, or 76 cents. Analysts polled by FactSet expected 68 cents per share.
Revenue rose 18% to $26.86 billion. Analysts expected $27.21 billion.


Effective bird control is essential to ensure aviation safety. New awareness for the risk of bird strikes in aviation is being raised by the release of motion picture "Sully: The Untold Story of the Miracle on the Hudson".
Wildlife strikes are relatively infrequent, only 3 percent of the strikes results in aircraft damage and less than 1 percent caused substantial aircraft damage. More than 90 percent of all wildlife strikes occurs at altitudes of less than 3,000 feet (typically at locations on or near airports). Airport operators worldwide are aware of wildlife hazards and consider wildlife management as part of their daily operations.
Although there is often a strong focus on radar systems which enable to see the birds before they are in close proximity to the airports, bird controllers are essentially the goalkeepers at the airside. They disperse birds that pose an immediate threat to arriving and departing aircrafts.
There are various methods like emitting distress calls of birds and shoot pyro techniques to disperse birds. Bird controllers know from their experience which bird species react best to which tool. Often a combination of tools gives the best results. By adding new technologies to the bird controllers' tool box, the bird controllers increase their effectiveness and thus increase safety along the runways.
The latest innovation for bird controllers has been the use of lasers. Birds perceive the laser beam as a physical danger. By moving the laser beam towards birds, they fly away. This is the same reflex as a car that drives towards birds. This video demonstrates the effect of the laser beam on birds.
So next time you take a flight and you see a bird controller next to the runway please remind yourself that they are the ones out there keeping us safe, 24/7 in any type of weather.
On September 9th the motion picture "Sully: The Untold Story of the Miracle on the Hudson" was released, which features Tom Hanks as Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. This motion picture portrays the aftermath of the miracle landing of US Airways Airbus A320 Flight 1549 on the frigid water of the Hudson River (New York City) following a bird strike. The movie is for the second week atop the US Box Office.

Which health benefits matter most to you?
Upcoming surveys to measure 'pulse' of U of M's benefits
February 1, 2017 —
Faculty and staff are invited to complete an upcoming "pulse survey" about the U of M's comprehensive group insurance program. Pulse surveys are quick surveys conducted on a periodic basis to measure the pulse or health of an organization's programs.
Two online surveys will be sent to all faculty and staff; the first survey was sent Friday, February 3, and the second will be sent in early March.
The first survey will assess satisfaction with the current offerings, including health, dental, long-term disability and the health care spending account. The second survey will gauge interest in new offerings such as subsidized gym memberships, vision care, orthodontics coverage and a wellness spending account, to name a few.
Individual faculty and staff responses are confidential; overall survey results will be shared with the University community.
"We want to hear from faculty and staff," says Dave Muir, director, compensation and benefits, human resources. "The feedback will help measure satisfaction with our current benefits and provide information about new offerings that could be added in the future."
Muir notes that conducting surveys aligns with the U of M's priority to develop a culture of continuous dialogue, collaboration and consensus building, incorporating robust processes that solicit faculty and staff input in the development of administrative programs.
Over the next couple of years, human resources will conduct pulse surveys for all faculty and staff in order to ensure that the university's benefits remain competitive and attractive.
Please complete the survey here.
Note: As an incentive, and thank you, for your participation in this pulse survey, you will have the option of entering your name into a draw where the winner will receive an extra $1,000 in their Health Care Spending Account for the upcoming 2017/18 plan year.
On the final screen of the survey, instead of clicking 'Done' click on 'Healthcare Spending Account Draw' and submit your contact information. Your contact information and survey feedback will be kept separate to ensure confidentiality.
To review the University of Manitoba's current comprehensive group insurance program, visit the compensation and benefits website.

2019 FISU Summer Universiade Day 6: Track and field sets the stage at San Paolo Stadium
Published: 09 Jul 2019, 05:38 PM 09 July 2019, 05:38 PM Last Update: 10 Jul 2019, 10:48 AM 10 July 2019, 10:48 AM
Action heated up at San Paolo Stadium Tuesday, as the track and field competition entered its second day at the 30th Summer Universiade in Naples, Italy.
FISU.TV (Semifinals and finals only)
Elsewhere in the Campania region hosting the biennial FISU Games, the Canadian women's volleyball team dropped its quarter-final to Hungary, while the men's volleyball team wrapped up the preliminary round against Poland. And the men's basketball team bounced back from a quarter-final loss to defeat Argentina, advancing to Thursday's fifth-place game.
At Naples, the second day of competition at San Paulo Stadium wrapped up with Canada posting several solid performances.
Canada came into the day with three finals already set: Gabby Rains in the women's discus along with Farah Abdulkarim and Benjamin Preisner in the men's 10,000 metres. As the night went on, a fourth was added with Duan Asemota advancing through the semifinals to the men's 100-metre final.
In the marquee event of the competition, Asemota ran a 10.39, finishing fifth. Moments later, Rains finished her event with a fourth-place finish in the discus, posting a top throw of 55.74 metres. And in the night's final event, Abdulkarim stayed with the top pack for the majority of the race but couldn't keep up as the leaders pulled away, posting a time of 29:43.51 to finish fifth. Preisner was four spots back of him, crossing the line in 30:27.37.
Canada also qualified seven others through to finals on Tuesday, beginning in the morning session with the women's pole vault where Rachel Wolfs leaped 3.90 metres to advance to Wednesday's final. In the men's 3,000-metre steeplechase, Ryan Smeeton and Jean-Simon Desgagnés qualified second and third for the final, which will take place Friday. Smeeton finished just over a second behind the leader from Japan, while Desgagnés was less than three tenths behind him.
In the evening session, Maddy Price got things started with her semifinal time of 52.23, easily advancing to Wednesday night's final in the 400m. And in the 800 metres, Jenna Westaway qualified for the final in 2:03.42.
"It has been a really great start," said Canadian head coach Bob Westman. "Everyone is in a great mindset, they're ready and prepared. There are people that weren't supposed to be in the top eight making finals…we're just missing out on some medals right now, but on the law of averages we're going to get some of those.
"I think we're off to a great start two days in."

At Nocera, the women's volleyball team fell short of a semifinal berth, dropping a 3-0 (17-25, 13-25, 18-15) quarter-final decision to Hungary on Tuesday at Palacoscioni.
"We just had a really hard time sticking with it," said Canada's head coach Laurie Eisler. "We saw a really skilled and passionate team today that put it all out there and they really deserved the win. It was a regression for us for sure. Maybe the moment was a little bit big for our team and we didn't bring the level that we needed to today but we'll regroup and try again tomorrow."
"From my perspective we made a lot of unforced errors," said Canadian libero Cassie Bujan of the University of Manitoba. "We were super prepared for this team, I felt, but I guess we underestimated their strength and size for sure. We just kind of fell short on our side."
Canada will now face Brazil, who was upset by the host Italians, in a consolation semifinal match Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. EDT / 5:30 a.m. PDT (2:30 p.m. local) at Palasele Eboli.

At Ariano, the men's volleyball team was defeated 3-0 by Poland on Tuesday night at Palazzetto dello Sport, in their final game of the round-robin tournament of these Games.
The challenge was a big one for the Canadians, as the Poles had not lost a single set so far in the competition. Poland completes its preliminary-play action with the top spot in Group C, while Canada, with a 1-3 record, finishes fourth in the pool.
"We learned that our serving pressure was not enough to take some of their offence away," said Canada's head coach Dave Preston. "They are built very differently than we are. I think our reception handled their serving, but their net play was just a little beyond us.
Craig Ireland and Pierce Johnson led the way for Canada with seven kills each. Middle blocker George Hobern had three blocks.
Canada will begin the consolation round on Thursday against Ukraine to play for the 9th through 16th spots. The two teams will play at 11:30 a.m. EDT / 8:30 a.m. PDT (5:30 p.m. local time) at Palatedeschi in Benevento.

At Cercola, Canada had a roaring third quarter to come from behind and beat Argentina 82-68 in the consolation semifinal. Canada will now play Germany for fifth spot.
After a tragic second quarter of being out-scored 24-15, Canada entered half time down 42-36. The team rallied back for a big third quarter, out-scoring Argentina 29-15 and then 17-11 in the fourth to take the game.
Canada shot just 35 per cent from the field and suffered from distance, shooting just 19 per cent, while they were successful under the glass winning the rebounding war 47-33. Captain Kadre Gray led his side in scoring with 25 points - his highest scoring performance of the tournament - while Munis Tutu contributed 16 points and Nik Kasongo added 11. Gray also had a team-high seven rebounds along with Marc-André Fortin.

At Piscina Scandone, Sophie Angus and Nina Kucheran raced in the 50m breaststroke semifinal. Angus finished fourth overall to qualify for the finals in 31.26. In the women's 200m butterfly, Hannah Genich finished sixth in her semifinal in 2:14.18 but did not advance to the finals. Toronto's Cameron Kidd was forced into a swim-off for the final spot in the 50m freestyle final. Kidd tied Russia's Daniil Markov in the semifinal and then fell short by 0.09 seconds in the swim-off.
Olympian Kennedy Goss touched in for eighth in the 200m freestyle final in what was her 11th swim of the meet.
"I wasn't too happy with the race tonight and it's been a long, long competition and tomorrow's the last day so hopefully I have a good 400 and make the 400 finals and it will be better than this final," said Goss, a Rio 2016 Olympian.
"I think it's always good to have someone who has experience (on the team). Having someone who was experienced for me was very helpful, so I've been trying to be a leader for all the younger athletes, showing them how to step up even if you don't want to and that having a lot of races is okay. It's okay to have okay times as long as we make this fun and professional, then we are doing something right."
In the 50m backstroke final, UBC's Ingrid Wilm finished seventh in 28.64.
"That last one was disappointing but I've been doing better at this meet than I have been all season," said Wilm after her sixth race. "If I had gone this time at another meet I would have been really happy, but following the last two races it was pretty disappointing. I honestly thought I could podium for that."
Wilm still has the 4x100m medley relay on Wednesday night to redeem her performance in the 100m backstroke final.
At Caroria, Hunter Carroll dropped a narrow contest, 13-11, to Poland's Jakub Posadzy in the kiorugi men's -68kg Round of 32.

Great Taste stars shine bright for Welsh food and drink
Great Taste, the world's most coveted food and drink awards, has announced its stars of 2022, and a host of delicious Welsh food and drink products have been stamped with a gold seal of approval.
A remarkable 182 Welsh products, ranging from small independent artisan producers to large scale distributors, have been successful at the 2022 awards, with 129 products achieving 1-star, 46 receiving 2-stars and 7 earning the gold stamp of approval with 3-stars.
The seven Welsh products that have this year been recognised to deliver 3-star "extraordinarily tasty foods" status are:
Bay Coffee Roasters – Indonesian Sumatran Fairtrade Organic
Mario's Luxury Dairy Ice Cream – Espresso Martini Ice Cream
Parva Spices – Sambal Hijau
Pembrokeshire Lamb Ltd – Hogget Mince
Pembrokeshire Sea Salt Co – Sea Salt with Saffron
Tasty Bites @ Ionas Kitchen – Curried Goat Patti
The Wye Valley Meadery – Hive Mind: Big Smoke – Smoked Honey Porter
Congratulating the winning producers, Welsh Government Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd, Lesley Griffiths, said: "I am pleased at the number of awards which have been deservedly won by Welsh food and drink producers at the Great Taste 2022 Awards.
"We have some of the best food a drink products in the world and it is great to see the commitment and hard work of businesses being recognised by the judges from the much respected Guild of Fine Food.
"I would encourage people in Wales as well as visitors to support our Welsh food and drink businesses and try some of their fantastic products.
"A huge congratulations to all of our Welsh companies on their achievements in this year's Awards and the Welsh Government will continue to support the sector and help it thrive into the future."
Great Taste, organised by the Guild of Fine Food, is the world's largest and most trusted food and drink accreditation scheme that tests both food and drink. The awards have been running since 1994 and the products are blind-tasted by selected chefs, cooks, buyers, retailers, restaurateurs, food critics and writers.
John Farrand, managing director at the Guild of Fine Food comments: "The standard of Welsh entries has been outstanding again in 2022. We are seeing products of high quality, innovation and creativity.
"I was extremely impressed to see that many of the entries have come from businesses which started trading in the last year or two, these are companies who incorporated in the middle of the most challenging period in economic and social history. And they're thriving.
"It isn't easy doing what these producers do, neither for the start-ups nor the established businesses. Growing a business and a brand in the food industry has so many variables to consider from standards, to policies, learning to sell and market your products, and that's before you think about aiming for excellence in the taste and flavour of your products. I have the utmost admiration for them all."
The three nominees for the regional title of 'Golden Fork from Wales' include Mario's Luxury Dairy Ice Cream for their Espresso Martini Ice Cream; Tasty Bites @ Ionas Kitchen for their Curried Goat Patti and Bay Coffee Roasters for their Indonesian Sumatran Fairtrade Organic.
The winner will be announced on Monday 5 September 2022.

1 bed… 2 mattresses, 2 quilts!
It wakes you in the night, it takes you to that cold, dark, alarming space, you fumble around in vain for safety, there is none forthcoming, you expand your search to locate any shred of comfort and security, but it won't come.
This argument takes place in households the world over, maybe it happened to you last night, maybe tonight is the night for the battle of the Duvet!
You can always count on the Germans to solve a problem and being as efficient as they are, they have of course come up with a remedy so simple, it could be considered as genius. So, behold the solution in all it's glory!!!!!……. 1 bed, 2 Duvets.
How easy is this? I can't believe it has not been adopted more widely, stay at many hotels in Germany and order a double room, you will find the double bed has 2 single duvet covers neatly folded at the bottom of the bed, the battle is over, you can relax now. Sleep well, or Schlaf Gut! as the Germans say.


Description: They now have signs everywhere. No parking signs for cars on the side in between the trucks. They also posted signs of a 100$ fine on every single possible trail that would lead into the woods.

La politique au pays de Galles s'insère dans le cadre plus large de la politique du Royaume-Uni dont le pays de Galles est une des nations constitutives.

Dans le cadre de la dévolution des pouvoirs mis en place par le Parlement britannique, le pays de Galles possède depuis 1999 une Assemblée nationale. Celle-ci a le pouvoir d'adopter des lois depuis 2011.

Le pays de Galles est considéré comme un bastion du Parti travailliste. Le nationalisme gallois existe mais est nettement moins important que son pendant écossais.

La langue galloise est reconnue comme langue officielle et utilisée par les organes du pays de Galles, au même titre que l'anglais.

Histoire
L'adoption des Laws in Wales Acts en 1535 et 1542 intègre le pays de Galles au système juridique du royaume d'Angleterre (à l'inverse de la situation écossaise). Le Wales and Berwick Act de 1746 déclare en outre que toute loi applicable à l'Angleterre est également applicable au pays de Galles, sauf exception explicite.

Toutefois, pendant la seconde partie du  et le début du , l'idée d'une identité galloise distincte émerge. En 1881, le Welsh Sunday Closing Act est la première législation à ne concerner que le pays de Galles. Par la suite, des institutions galloises propres sont mises en place : un département gallois au sein du Board of Education en 1907, un Conseil de l'Agriculture du pays de Galles en 1912 et un bureau gallois spécifique au sein du ministère de l'Agriculture en 1919.

Malgré l'échec du mouvement Cymru Fydd, d'autres institutions galloises voient le jour, notamment dans le domaine culturel : le Eisteddfod Genedlaethol (1861), l'université du pays de Galles (1893), la Bibliothèque nationale du pays de Galles (1911), les Welsh Guards (1915). La campagne pour retirer à l'église anglicane au pays de Galles son statut de religion d'État aboutit en 1914 et constitue une étape dans le développement d'une conscience politique galloise. Toutefois, la question de l'autonomie du pays de Galles est alors éclipsée du paysage par la crise économique des années 1920 et 1930, malgré la formation du Plaid Cymru en 1925.

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le gouvernement Parti travailliste de Clement Attlee établit un Conseil du pays de Galles et du Monmouthshire, une assemblée non élue de 27 membres chargés de conseiller le gouvernement britannique sur les affaires du pays de Galles. À cette époque, la plupart des ministères ont déjà des bureaux au pays de Galles.

Un portefeuille des Affaires galloises est créé en 1951 et attribué au secrétaire d'État à l'Intérieur. En 1955, Cardiff est officiellement désignée capitale du pays de Galles. Toutefois, en 1956, la décision est prise de construire un barrage et d'inonder le village de  malgré l'opposition quasi-unanime des hommes politiques gallois : l'affaire démontre que les intérêts gallois pèsent peu auprès du gouvernement britannique. Dans l'élection qui suit, le Plaid Cymru réussit à porter son score à 5,2 % contre 0,3 % précédemment.

En 1964, le gouvernement travailliste de Harold Wilson crée le bureau gallois dirigé par le secrétaire d'État pour le Pays de Galles. Ses attributions sont augmentés de la santé, de l'agriculture et de l'éducation en 1968, 1969 et 1970. La déconcentration administrative a pour effet de définir clairement les frontières de l'actuel pays de Galles

En 1966, le Parti travailliste adopte comme politique officielle l'autonomie du pays de Galles. La même année, le président du Plaid Cymru Gwynfor Evans remporte une élection partielle pour la Chambre des communes. En 1967, les travaillistes reviennent sur leur politique, certains députés gallois y voyant .

En réponse à la montée des nationalismes gallois et écossais, Harold Wilson met en place la commission Kilbrandon en 1969. Ses recommandations forment la base d'un livre blanc  qui propose la création d'une Assemblée galloise. Cette proposition est toutefois rejetée par les électeurs gallois en 1979 avec près de 80 % de « non »

Près de vingt ans plus tard, en 1997, l'élection du gouvernement travailliste de Tony Blair remet la dévolution sur le devant de la scène. En , les électeurs gallois approuvent à une faible majorité la création d'une Assemblée nationale du pays de Galles. Celle-ci est créé en 1999 et reçoit la majorité des compétences précédemment attribuées au secrétaire d'État pour le Pays de Galles. Le Bureau gallois devient le bureau du Pays de Galles à cette occasion.

À l'origine, l'Assemblée nationale n'a le pouvoir de n'adopter que des mesures réglementaires. À partir de 2007, l'Assemblée obtient le droit d'adopter des mesures () d'ordre législatif dans certaines domaines de compétence fixées par une loi du Parlement. Depuis un nouveau référendum en 2011, l'Assemblée peut adopter des lois dans ses domaines de compétences ().

En 2019, l'Assemblée nationale du pays de Galles passe un vote, avec effet en 2021, à suivre l'Écosse et abaisser l'âge de vote de 18 ans à 16 ans pour les élections aux conseils locaux et à l'Assemblée nationale elle-même, mais les Gallois, comme les Écossais, ne seront pas capable à voter dans les élections au Parlement du Royaume-Uni avant de leur dix-huitième anniversaires.

Dévolution

Assemblée nationale

Le Parlement gallois est la législature dévolue du pays de Galles. Il a été créée en 1999 comme Assemblée nationale du pays de Galles par le Government of Wales Act et après un référendum.

À l'origine, l'Assemblée a hérité de la plupart des pouvoirs et du budget du secrétaire d'État pour le Pays de Galles. Depuis des réformes en 2007 et 2011, elle peut adopter des lois dans un certain nombre de domaines fixés par le Parlement britannique :
 agriculture, pêche, forêt et développement rural ;
 monuments anciens et historiques ;
 culture ;
 développement économique ;
 environnement ;
 services d'incendie et secours ;
 alimentation ;
 santé et services de santé ;
 routes et transports ;
 logement ;
 gouvernement local ;
 administration publique ;
 assistance sociale ;
 sport et loisisrs ;
 tourisme ;
 urbanisme ;
 eau et lutte contre les inondations ;
 langue galloise.
À la différence de l'Écosse et de l'Irlande du Nord, le système légal gallois est le même qu'en Angleterre, ces nations constitutives formant une même juridiction au sein du droit britannique, connue comme Angleterre et pays de Galles (en anglais : England and Wales ; en gallois : Cymru a Lloegr). Le système juridique gallois, autrefois distinct, fut aboli après l'adoption de l'Acte d'Union de 1536. Le droit gallois (en gallois : Cyfraith Cymru) est une partie constitutive du droit anglais, ne concernant que la législation primaire et secondaire produite (quasi-lois, anciennement « mesures de l'Assemblée nationale », à l'échelle du pays de Galles) par le Parlement gallois, selon la dévolution du pouvoir accordée au gouvernement du pays de Galles par le Government of Wales Act 2006. L'Assemblée nationale du pays de Galles a ainsi moins de pouvoirs que Parlement écossais ou l'Assemblée d'Irlande du Nord.

L'Assemblée nationale est composée de 60 membres élus selon un système mixte. Chaque électeur dispose de deux voix : une pour élire un des 40 membres élus scrutin uninominal majoritaire à un tour, l'autre pour élire les 20 membre au scrutin proportionnel de liste. Les sièges pourvus à la proportionnelle le sont en tenant compte des sièges pourvus au scrutin majoritaire, de sorte que la composition de l'Assemblée nationale soit globalement proportionnelle aux voix du scrutin de liste.

Gouvernement

À l'origine en 1999, il n'existait pas d'organe exécutif distinct de l'Assemblée nationale. Il n'existait qu'un comité exécutif dont les ministres recevaient certaines délégations de l'Assemblée. Le chef du comité exécutif portait le titre de premier secrétaire de l'Assemblée ().

Le Government of Wales Act de 2006 a créé un gouvernement gallois séparé de l'Assemblée nationale, composé d'un premier ministre () nommé par la reine sur proposition de l'Assemblée nationale et de ministres et vice-ministres nommés par le premier ministre.

Le premier ministre est, depuis 2007, garde du sceau gallois.

Depuis la dévolution, trois premiers secrétaires et premiers ministres se sont succédé, tous issus du Parti travailliste :
 Alun Michael de 1999 à 2000 (cabinet minoritaire) ;
 Rhodri Morgan, en coalition avec les démocrates libéraux de 2000 à 2003, minoritaire de 20003 à 2007, en coalition avec le Plaid Cymru de 2007 à 2009 ;
 Carwyn Jones, en coalition avec le Plaid Cymru de 2009 à 2011, minoritaire de 2011 à 2017, en coalition avec des non-inscrits de 2017 à 2018 ;
 Mark Drakeford, en coalition avec des non-inscrits de 2018 à 2021 et minoritaire depuis 2021.

Gouvernement local

Le pays de Galles est divisé en 22 autorités unitaires chargées de l'administration locale et gérées par des conseils élus. Elles portent les noms de comté, cité () ou , mais ces distinctions sont honorifiques.

Paysage politique
Pendant la majeure partie du , le pays de Galles a été un bastion du Parti libéral. Depuis le début du , c'est le Parti travailliste qui domine le paysage politique gallois : il est arrivé en tête de toutes les élections générales, européennes et à l'Assemblée nationale depuis 1922 (à l'exception des élections européenne de 2009). Les travaillistes sont notamment implantés dans les régions du sud et du nord-est du pays de Galles, comme Cardiff, Newport ou Swansea.

Le Parti conservateur est historiquement le deuxième parti gallois, mais généralement loin derrière le Parti travailliste. Lors de trois élections générales (1906, 1997, 2001), les conservateurs ont été totalement balayés du pays de Galles. Seules deux élections ont vu les conservateurs remporté plus d'un quart des sièges (1979, 1983). La seule élection où le Parti conservateur est arrivé en tête est l'élection européenne de 2009.

Le Plaid Cymru est le principal parti nationaliste gallois. Formé en 1925, il ne présente des candidats dans la majorité des circonscriptions galloises qu'à partir de 1959. Il fait élire son premier député en 1966. Le Plaid Cymru remporte en moyenne 10 % des sièges aux élections, son meilleur score (14,3 %) datant de 2001.

Les libéraux-démocrates sont principalement présents dans les régions rurales du centre et de l'ouest du pays de Galles.

Positioned on the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula, the Kumano area may be humble in terms of population, but it's definitely not lacking in scenic diversity. You'll find Kumano City in the south of Mie Prefecture, while most of Kumano's attractions are located outside the city center. Spiritual pilgrimage paths, lush rows of terraced rice fields, towering mountain gorges, and volcano crafted trails, there are endless adventures to be had in and around Kumano city.
Terraced into the mountains west of Kumano City is where you'll find Maruyama Senmaida, one of Japan's most beautiful terraced rice fields. Crafted over 400 years ago it's a long-living example of the city's unwavering dedication to their agricultural legacy. The name 'senmaida' translates to '1,000 rice paddies' - a reference to the area's over 1,300 paddies that crawl along the rolling hillside. The sizes of the fields vary, with the narrowest spanning just a meter wide. Because of the huge variation in size, the steep incline of the terraces, and the irregular shapes of the paddies, the fields must be painstakingly maintained by hand. A walk along the Iseji Route of the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage to Kumano Hongu-Taisha Shrine offers an excellent vantage point for admiring the area in all its glory.
With its staggeringly high jagged cliff faces which at an almost 90-degree incline into the flowing Kumano River, Dorokyo Gorge is a stretch of untamed, rugged beauty. Part of Yoshino Kumano National Park, the gorge is typically known for its deep, clear, blue water, however, it's worth noting that in the typhoon season it may be a little murkier. That said, it's still a breathtaking scene. Spanning a total of 31kms, it's home to plenty of attractions for both thrill seekers and more laidback visitors. Sign up for a scenic boat tour, tear through the ravine on a speedboat at eye-watering speeds, or if you'd prefer to remain stationary, admire the panoramic view of the otherworldly natural landscape from Yamabiko Bridge.
Winding through the mountains of Kii Peninsula, the Kumano Kodo is a network of well-trodden, and historic trails, which were once the pilgrimage route for Buddhist monks. It's one of just two pilgrimage routes awarded world heritage status by UNESCO (Santiago de Compostela in Spain and France the other). The trail cuts through the Kii Peninsula's densely forested landscape connecting to the area's most significant sacred sites, including the three Kumano shrines: Hongu Taisha, Hayatama Taisha, and Nachi Taisha. There is no one way to explore the Kumano Kodo, but one of the most popular routes is the Nakahechi Route (also known as The Imperial Route to Kumano). This path has been used since the 10th century and leads visitors to the aforementioned three grand shrines of Kumano.
For gravity-defying, hellish beauty, be sure to take a stroll around Onigajo, aka 'Demon's Castle' or 'Castle of the Ogre'. If you take the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route, make a short detour to explore this naturally-formed promenade, just head over the Matsumoto-toge Pass. Formed from soft, windswept volcanic stone, according to legend this barren landscape was once the home to the area's fearsome 'oni' (demons) and some say pirates too. Exploring the area up close is worthwhile; however, if you want a more comprehensive view of the area you can also sign up for an Onigajo viewing boat tour.

I believe in heaven. And I bet you do. Heaven is located somewhere across the bridge of life. It is a place devoid of the iniquities of this life. In heaven, tranquility abounds. It is a treasure trove where God keeps the best of everything.
I believe in heaven. And I bet you do.
Heaven is located somewhere across the bridge of life. It is a place devoid of the iniquities of this life. In heaven, tranquility abounds. It is a treasure trove where God keeps the best of everything.
Heaven is the only place where happiness is guaranteed. But for some reason, we are determined to pursue happiness here on earth when it has been proven that such is an impossible goal.
We dream of heaven when we face the travails of life on earth. We remember heaven when we lose someone we love. We embrace heaven when we face our own mortality.
Though the vision of heaven varies depending on our religious and cultural upbringing, the central ideas are the same. Heaven is a good place for good people who have a good report card from their stay on earth. We are expected to make sacrifices here on earth in order to get to heaven.
Yeah, even an assurance of a place in the bosom of the Lord will not make us leave, so soon, this world that we know.
I'm not a pastor. I do not play one in Nollywood. But I can use one simple example in the Christian religion to illustrate what I mean when I say that for us all, heaven can wait.
The Bible is ambiguous about who goes to heaven. It says that it is not those who cry my Lord, my Lord that will make it to heaven; but those who do what God wants. What does God want? Apart from the obedience to the commandments, what does God want?
I consider that a very dangerous prayer. By saying it, you are agreeing to be forgiven of your trespasses only when you forgive those who trespass against you.
So if you do not forgive those who trespass against you, there is no forgiveness for you.
You would think that with that, Christians would have forgiving hearts. But churches are full of men and women who carry decade old grudges yet, are hoping for forgiveness.
As if to buttress that point, the Christ stated that if you were at the door of the church with your thanksgiving offering and remember that you have not forgiven your brother or sister, you should drop your offering by the door. Christ asked that you should go and forgive your fellow human before you come to offer your thanks. If not your offerings will be a waste.
Pretty serious stuff, if you ask me.
We know all this. But we just cannot help it. Deep inside us, heaven can wait.
The call to be human is one heck of a call. We answer the call without a clear understanding of where we came from and where we are headed.
What am I saying? We are going to heaven.
To be exact, we hope to go to heaven. After all, heaven is not just God's abode. It is a place where comfort is assured after the troubles of this life.
Because of that, a great many ideals of this life are designed to get us to heaven. Laws about goodness and evil are designed to take us to the place where good people go as a reward.
We do not know when we shall be called to heaven. Whenever it happens, there is no way of knowing for sure that we shall be worthy of heaven. Only by His grace, the holy book says.
I, therefore, presume that the first question you will be asked in heaven is, did you ever live as if heaven can wait?
The only reason we do not commit every day of our lives to the pursuit of heaven is because of the other competing goal – the pursuit of happiness.
After looking at man and his environment, Thomas Jefferson, concluded that man has these inalienable rights- the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Together, the pursuit of these rights has overshadowed the pursuit of heaven.
Our attitude seems to be; let us enjoy ourselves now. Let us take care of this business of life first. Let us secure our life, liberty and happiness.
We pretend that heaven can wait, even when we know that it cannot.

Why does anyone want to make a website? It is time consuming, tiresome and work. But operate that away with the fulfillment of palebluedotdesigns.com not merely having performed a good job, but the reassurance that you happen to be providing invaluable information to others from all over the world.
The world wide web never rests. Somewhere on this planet someone is just getting out of bed to start with their time. Somewhere else individuals are just hitting the bed for that night's rest. 24/7 hundreds of millions of people like you are on tier searching for details, the information you could have locked in your brain.
Basically you will discover two types of sites on-line. First is the information site with information on just about every conceivable subject matter imaginable. Second is the shop site create to sell every single item in the world.
Assuming you really are a person who matches the first of all category this article will focus on you. We will leave the store concept for the entrepreneur to generate.
Look into the reason why you imagine you would want to build a site. Do you truly want to build an information site? You know the type if you surf the net from time to time for information. Information on how to grow roses, how to construct a birdhouse, how to operate, travel to enticing places, learn about famous people and events. Every single subject available.
There are an awful lot of sites out there. For instance, if you hunt for the word roses you will find there are 104, 500, 000 sites with the term roses on the internet. Don't let that prevent you. Many of these sites basically might have the term rose someplace on their site.
Hence we will certainly assume you have an desire to tell the world what you understand. Great. Today take a look at the long run. Assume you can build a web page with 100 pages of wonderful information. You encounter someone and discover they are earning profits with their equivalent site by placing ads or affiliate banner ads issues pages. Well now, you possibly will not have considered that nonetheless that appears to be good.
Open nearly every site on line and you will check out ads by google. Whenever someone clicks on one of the people ads google pays them a few cents. If you were to experience a 100-page internet site with three google prohibit ads formulated with a total of ten particular ads for any total of just one thousand certain ads. Probably sooner or later visitors will find your site, click on a great ad and also you earn money. All you need to do is keep the visitors interested and they will just click time and time again.
The most important concern you need to make before starting a web site is the theory. The look or the subject of your site.
If the reason you need a website is certainly strictly for your gratification certainly not monetary after that pick your subject and commence to write. You will still find millions of people thinking about any subject. However , whenever in the long run you will be interested in promoting revenue you really should consider a subject matter with a larger interest. A concept based upon the left big toe of a prehistoric ape might have a thin audience. A concept based upon growing plants or online casino life or outdoor existence in Aspen Colorado might have a wide target audience. The latter for these subjects might have a great many more visitors and would develop more promotion revenue.
Whatever your concept. Sit back at your computer system and begin in the exciting life of any website owner.

Sarah Sanders: 'The president is not a liar'
The White House responded forcefully after fired FBI director James Comey told senators that the administration had spread 'lies, plain and simple' about his dismissal.
By TARA PALMERI
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said "the president is not a liar" after former FBI director James Comey blasted the White House for telling "lies, plain and simple" about the circumstances surrounding his firing last month.
"No, I can definitively say the president is not a liar," Sanders told reporters at the White House during an off-camera briefing Thursday. "It's frankly insulting that that question would be asked."
Comey testified earlier in the day before the Senate Intelligence Committee about his abrupt dismissal. He suggested his surprise at his firing turned to anger as President Donald Trump and his aides offered a series of evolving reasons for the ouster, starting with displeasure at the way he handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
"It confused me when I saw the president on TV saying he actually fired me because of the Russian investigation," Comey testified. "I was also confused by the initial explanation offered publicly that I was fired because of decisions I'd made during the election… That didn't make any sense to me."
Comey eventually accused the White House of flatly lying when it said the FBI workforce was widely dissatisfied with his performance.
"The administration then chose to defame me and more importantly the FBI, by saying the organization was poorly led," the ex-FBI chief said. "Those were lies, plain and simple."
Comey blasts White House for 'lies, plain and simple'
By JOSH GERSTEIN and KYLE CHENEY
At the White House, Sanders also said the president still has confidence in his Cabinet members, when asked whether he still supports Attorney General Jeff Sessions: "Absolutely, the president has confidence in all of his Cabinet."
Sanders declined to answer directly during a televised briefing on Wednesday whether the president continued to support Sessions, who offered to resign in late May. Trump has long been irritated by Sessions' decision in February to recuse himself from the FBI's ongoing investigation into Russian contacts with Trump associates during the 2016 presidential election, now overseen by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The republican scientific conference on the theme "Jalil Mammadguluzade and folk laugh culture"
On the 30th of May in 2019 the republican scientific conference on the theme "Jalil Mammadguluzade and folk laugh culture" dedicated to the 150th anniversary of prominent Azerbaijani writer, great playwright and public figure Jalil Mammadguluzade was held at the Institute of Folklore of ANAS.

"Jalil Mammadguluzade's attitude towards folk art, folk culture and folk humor is a kind of folklore philosophy," said Director of the Institute. According to his thought the artistic laughter in the work of Jalil Mammadguluzade is very informative. The great master developed a literary language based on folklore in prose and dramatic creativity.
It was noted that, the prominent master of the word, Jalil Mammadguluzade, used satire as a weapon against weaknesses in society. The writer's works had a significant positive impact on the post-literary process, as well as on the work of our contemporaries.

Fellowship Activities
Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (NMM/OMM)
History of Osteopathy
EOC Week
By Christle Guevarra
Christle Guevarra had the opportunity to represent the Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/ Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Fellowship and Western University of Health Sciences at UC Irvine with Gina Moses, AACOM's associate director of recruitment and application services. After an informative and inspirational presentation on osteopathic medicine, she led the students in a modified structural examination and demonstrated how to incorporate a structural exam in the clinic. She spoke about why she decided to pursue osteopathic medicine and WesternU. She enjoyed coming back to an undergraduate campus and talking to pre-medical students who are just beginning their journey in medicine.
Dr. Tikker Workshop
By Ashley Garispe
While at the 2015 American Academy of Osteopathy Convocation, the WesternU Undergraduate Fellows had the unique opportunity to help pass down the historical A.T. Still's Foot Manipulation techniques unto approximately 200 practicing clinicians. Having trained with Dr. John Martin Hiss D.O., Dr. Rue Tikker D.P.M. collaborated with both Dr. David Redding D.O. and Dr. Rebecca Giusti D.O. with the hopes of sharing the knowledge he had indirectly received from the "Father of Osteopathic Medicine" himself. In an ironic role-reversal, the Fellows served as table trainers for some of the nation's most well-known and respected osteopathic physicians. As medical students, the Fellows walked between the OMM tables, palpated along side those who have had years to perfect their osteopathic touch, and answered the physicians' questions regarding the techniques. Although it was a challenging experience, it was also a humbling and rewarding opportunity to give a piece of history back to the physicians who continue to serve as mentors and role models for the osteopathic community.
Dr. Dick Workshop
By Judy Oh
Every semester the Fellows have a workshop with the well-respected Dr. Lorane Dick who was Department Chair of Osteopathic Principles and Practice Department of Western University from 1986-1989. This semester three of the Fellows brought their babies to be treated by Dr. Dick and the Fellows. Each child brought a different experience for the Fellows in terms of size, personality and developmental stage. Next, Dr. Dick taught new visceral techniques that could be utilized in the hospital and additional treatments for patients who suffered traumatic accidents. Lastly, Dr. Dick set aside the time to have a discussion with each of the fellows asking them about their personal goals and challenges. She has been a vital part of each Fellow's personal and professional growth. Fellows appreciate these workshops, which enrich and equip them with more insight and skills to carry on to their students and patients.
By Brian Gould
The AAO Convocation was located in Louisville, KY and as usual the fellows had the opportunity to attend the conference, which includes lectures, hands on seminars and research poster presentations. This year the Fellows from the Lebanon campus had a great presence during the poster presentations. Out of the 32 posters presented, the northwest campus had 4 posters and 8 Fellows represented. This was the most from any single campus represented in the competition. There was an original research poster presented by Andrew Narver and Joel Walthall titled Frequency of Viscerosomatic Reflexes in an Outpatient Clinic: Feasibility Study. It was a study on comparing barral visceral dysfunction and back somatic dysfunction as an attempt to elucidate presymptomatic viscerosomatic reflexes. The Study was well done and well presented. There was a case study write up presented by Katie Markelz titled Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Severe Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancy: A Case Study. She used various OMT modalities on a pregnant patent who was suffering from severe nausea and vomiting and showed a reduction of symptoms over the course of 3 weeks. Her study suggests OMT is a valuable adjunctive treatment to pharmaceutical management of pregnant patients with severe nausea and vomiting. Then there was a poster, which won 1st place in the educational research category presented by Molly McCormick, Lee Kenyon, Kraig Wasik, Nicolette Rosendahl and Brian Gould. The poster was titled The Flipped Classroom: A non-Traditional Approach to Teaching Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. The project was exploring the effects of long-term retention and general attitude of students towards "flipping" the classroom where the information within the Powerpoint presentation was to be reviewed prior to lecture while the time slot for the lecture was used to facilitate synthesis and practical application of the material. We were very proud to have such a great showing from COMP-Northwest and hope this is the beginning of a long tradition of presented research specifically in the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine field.
Fellows came together for journal club every Wednesday to discuss and evaluate articles related to the field of Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. We have reviewed the following journal articles this semester:

Q: Connection between forms for Generalized Pareto Distribution On Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution#Pareto_types_I–IV) one can find the relation between the different types of Pareto Distribution and the Generalized Pareto Distribution (Type IV). A more appropriate explanation on the relation between types of the distribution can be found in the book:
https://www.amazon.it/Distributions-Chapman-Monographs-Statistics-Probability-ebook/dp/B00UVB2PWY
The relationship is summarized as follows:

On the "Generalized Pareto Distribution" Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Pareto_distribution) one can find a different formulation for the same distribution, in particular the  survival function here is defined as:
$$
\overline{F}(x) = \left( 1 + \xi/\sigma \cdot ( x - \mu) \right)^{-1/\xi}
$$
what is the connection between this survival function and:
$$
\overline{F}(x) = \left[ 1 + \left( 1/\sigma \cdot ( x - \mu) \right) ^{1/\gamma} \right]^{-\alpha} \text{?}
$$

You're going to love the long lasting & beautiful colored finishes! The Black and Stainless units have a smooth, glossy finish - while the Red and Blue units have a soft-touch, rubberised coating.
Pro Tip: When you are putting your unit together, you need to screw in the coil until it clicks into place otherwise your unit will leak liquid so be sure, make it click!
This starter kit comes with two disposable coils (atomisers), one already installed and ready to fill!
Each coil should last you between 1-3 weeks, depending on your usage. There is no real sudden "cut off" to when you should change coils, but you'll notice the flavour and vapour production start to taper off - really, it's a matter of preference.
Click here to purchase replacement coils for the T20-S starter kit.
Fill against the side of the tank, leave a little bit of space.
Drop two or three drops of e-liquid down the center of your new coil, to help get the internal cotton wet.
Screw your top cap back on.
At this point, we recommend you give the tank a few short inhales (without pressing the button) to make sure that the liquid has definitely entered and saturated the internals of your new coil.
Wait 5-10 minutes before vaping.
Remove your tank from the battery.
Unscrew the bottom ring from the tank.
Slide your old coil straight out.
Replace the bottom ring on the tank.
In colder climates, your liquid may thicken slightly. If this is the case, we recommend that you leave the new coil to soak in your e-liquid a little longer, and once you start vaping, take small short inhales to ensure that you do not accidentally fire a "dry" coil.
Innokin's instruction pamphlet can be found here.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia smartphones has been launching an array of smartphones this year in India. And the latest ones to arrive are the Nokia 6.1 Plus and Nokia 5.1 Plus. Since its re-entry to the Indian market in June 2017, HMD did not go after brands like Xiaomi or Honor, instead, it landed in between the affordable and Tier 1 smartphone brands. But that has changed with the latest launches, thanks to the company's exclusive partnership with Flipkart. The Nokia 6.1 Plus, Nokia 5.1 Plus are online-only smartphones, exclusive to Flipkart. The former already arrived in India at a super aggressive price of Rs 15,999, while the latter will launch on September 24 (today). Going by Flipkart's landing page, the price of the Nokia 5.1 Plus will be revealed at 2 PM today, but like the Nokia 6.1 Plus, it's also expected to be priced aggressively in the sub-continent.
Going by the pricing printed on the Indian retail box, the 5.1 Plus will be launched in India at Rs 13,199. Nevertheless, the MRP of the handset could be lower than what's written on the retail box. Even at Rs 13,199, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is the most affordable & powerful Nokia smartphone to launch in the Indian market. The 5.1 Plus features a similar design to the Nokia 6.1 Plus, but comes with different internals. It's also an Android One smartphone and has a notch on top of the display, which is way bigger than what we saw on the 6.1 Plus.
Well, I have spent my time with the Nokia 5.1 Plus for over 36 hours now and here's what I think about it.
Design-wise, the Nokia 5.1 Plus is pretty much identical to the Nokia 6.1 Plus, but there's one big change here. While the 6.1 Plus is constructed out of glass, the 5.1 Plus is entirely built out of plastic. But when you hold both the devices in your hands, it's tough to determine the 5.1 Plus has the plastic back. This device also has a notch on top of the display, but it's way bigger than the one we saw on the 6.1 Plus. Even though the notch houses the front-facing camera, proximity sensor and earpiece like the one on the 6.1 Plus, it's surprising to see why HMD went with such a big notch. The Nokia 5.1 Plus will be available in two colour options- Black and White, and there might be a Blue colour option like the Nokia 6.1 Plus.
The company has added a glossy finish to the plastic back and the black coloured unit which I received attracted fingerprint smudges without any hesitation. To save the costs, HMD isn't bundling any case inside the retail box though. Except for the bigger notch on the 5.1 Plus, both the phones look very much identical from the front as they've similar sized displays.
The display itself on the Nokia 5.1 Plus is a 5.86-inch one and carries a resolution of 720 x 1520 (HD+) pixels. During my short time, the display fared pretty well, but it's nowhere close to the Full HD+ panel we saw on the 6.1 Plus. The screen got bright enough to view text under direct sunlight, but the sunshine in Hyderabad is not enough right now to give a verdict on the panel. So, I'll save it for the full review which will drop later this week.
This is very things get super interesting. The Nokia 5.1 Plus has the much powerful MediaTek Helio P60 chipset, clubbed with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There may not be a premium variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Notably, it's the second smartphone after Realme 1 to launch with Helio P60 chipset under Rs 15,000. Right after taking the device from the retail box, I installed PUBG game from the Google Play Store. During 36 hours, I charged the device thrice from 15% to 100%, which explains how I pushed the smartphone.
The Nokia 5.1 Plus handled PUBG game with ease and the memory management was alright too. With PUBG opened in the background, I used apps such as Phone, Messaging, WhatsApp and went back to the game after a couple of hours, the game was still in the background, which is something worth noting. The MediaTek Helio P60 is a capable and proven chipset and it's the reason behind the stupendous sales of Realme 1 in India. So, I am expecting a similar performance on the Nokia 5.1 Plus.
There's a lot going for the Nokia 5.1 Plus in the software department. It's part of Google's Android One programme, and HMD is promising monthly security patch updates along with timely platform updates. Right after the first boot, the 5.1 Plus picked up a 440MB OTA update which improved the overall system stability and added September 2018 security patches. During my 36-hour usage, I did not notice any software lags or stutters and am expecting the same going forward.
HMD has added a 3060mAh battery inside the Nokia 5.1 Plus. It offered me over three hours of screen-on time with continuous PUBG gaming. That said, with day-to-day tasks, the 5.1 Plus might offer better battery life. Thankfully, there's fast charging support on the 5.1 Plus and HMD is even shipping a fast charger inside the retail box, unlike Xiaomi.
The biggest letdown for the Nokia 6.1 Plus was its cameras. Although the front-facing camera performed as per the expectations, the rear cameras on the 6.1 Plus didn't inspire confidence, at least for me. Cameras on the Nokia 5.1 Plus include a 13MP primary shooter on the rear side with f/2.0 aperture, paired with a 5MP depth sensor. Front, there's an 8MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture. Here are some of the camera samples captured on the Nokia 5.1 Plus during my usage.
The 5.1 Plus seems like an overall package from HMD Global. The phone doesn't have a Full HD+ display which might seem a bummer for many, but the smaller resolution display means it will consume less power which helps in overall battery performance. Am excited to see the final price of the smartphone. If it goes for around Rs 12,000, then the Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro and Realme 2 should be worried a bit.
Nice device as always from Nokia. Suggestion to TT: Whenever available please provide dimensions LengthXWidthXThickness of the device. Cheers !!


Unless you live in Death Valley, you really don't hear much any more about cars overheating. That's because cooling systems in vehicles have been much improved. That doesn't mean you can't overheat your pickup engine, though. Without proper preventive maintenance, you could still find yourself on the side of the expressway in Ennis waiting for your pickup engine to cool down.
When you service your cooling system at Avenue Automotive, your service specialist will check the condition of the coolant. It can become corrosive over time, which can damage a radiator — leading to an overheated engine. Changing the coolant periodically is good car care. Your pickup owner's manual can give you guidelines on how often to replace it.
If your engine overheated, your friendly and honest service specialist will also check your coolant system for leaks. Check the pickup radiator for cracks and the radiator hoses for leaks. He'll also check your water pump. They don't need to be replaced on a regular schedule, but they do need an automotive analysis regularly. They can and do wear out.
There are many types of coolant. It varies from vehicle to vehicle, and using the wrong kind could damage your engine. Your service advisor will know which kind your vehicle's manufacturer recommends. The team of automotive professionals at Avenue Automotive is always a good source for auto advice. We've been providing quality automotive services at our convenient location in Ennis for 2 years.
Keeping your cooling system in good repair will help keep your engine running well, and keep you out of the Dallas repair shop.

Sean Penn's message overlooked amidst journalism critiques
Ethan Kerns | Staff Writer January 28, 2016
Sean Penn earned the ire of journalists around the world when Rolling Stone published his article "El Chapo Speaks," in which he told the story of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Journalists take issue with the article largely on the grounds of journalistic ethics: a condition of the article's publication was Guzman's approval. If viewed as journalism, I agree: the article is a sham. However, Penn's recent interview on "60 Minutes" has led me to believe that his piece has been misunderstood. Viewed in the context of his statements, the article's purpose was to paint a picture of a man; it is essentially a short biography. Providing information—providing journalism—wasn't his intent. His intent was to tell a story.
"El Chapo Speaks" understandably confused journalists upon publication. Ethics aside, the article is pervasively strange: Penn includes superfluous details, such as his flatulence; and his interview includes questions such as "how is your relationship with your mom?" Article alone, I understand journalists' initial frustration. It seemed as if Penn's strange questions ruined the interview of a lifetime, and his ethical error rendered any salvageable material useless.
But Penn's "60 Minutes" interview with Charlie Rose clears up all confusion. When asked for his purpose, Penn says that he does "experiential journalism," which he defines with the statement: "I don't have to be the one that reports on the alleged murders or the amount of narcotics that are brought in. I go and I spend time in the company of another human being, which everyone is." What Penn is defining here is not journalism at all. Compare his purpose with that of journalism, which the American Press Institute defines as "to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decision about their lives, their communities, their societies, and their governments." Penn is shying away from providing information, such as about the amount of narcotics brought in. This mismatch in intent explains the strange interview questions about the kingpin's mother—information and journalism aren't his purpose.
Penn's reasons for telling the kingpin's story are more nuanced than information-providing. He sees America's perception of Guzman as flawed; we consider him a monster rather than a man, and that blinds us to the problems with our drug policy. Penn's story is trying to rewrite the narrative behind the policy and trying to give us reason to change it. As psychologist Jerome Bruner explains in his book "Actual Minds, Possible Worlds," there are two ways to interpret our experiences: propositionally, or through pure logic, and narratively, through personal experiences and stories. Propositionally, we can determine that America's drug policy is a failure. Guzman's Wikipedia page already lists his successor; his capture, a focal point of our policy, has done nothing to interrupt the business he ran. But propositional interpretation is not as powerful as narrative interpretation, so altering the narrative behind our policies provides powerful impetus to change them. By painting Guzman as a man, Penn has tried to provide that narrative reason for change, and it is tragic that his article, as he put it, "has failed."
Penn's failure is tragic on two levels: that a man committed to such a cause is being belittled for his effort and that his article was ineffective in raising awareness of the failure of our current drug policies. The actor has cultivated a notable presence as a social activist. He has been involved with a variety of causes, including condemning the Iraq War, providing aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, supporting same-sex marriage and continuing to operate a non-profit to support victims of the Haitian earthquake. It is, on a personal level, sad that a man clearly dedicated to social activism is being criticized for it.
Beyond Penn's intentions, the article's failure to bring attention to America's inoperative drug policy is regrettable. The kingpin is just a symptom of the society he grew up in, and has already been replaced by his right-hand man, Ismael Zambada Garcia. Compare cartels to the prohibition-era Mafia, which funded itself through the sale of alcohol. Passing the 21st amendment signaled the end of the crime syndicate as it quickly lost money and, thus, influence. If we want to stop cartel violence, we need to attack them economically by treating substance abuse as a mental health issue and by creating legal, controlled channels for the acquisition of recreational drugs. We should honor Penn's effort by remembering that since America's policies create cartels, we are accountable for their violence and should advocate for new policy to end this senseless violence.
