Stop CEL disinvestment, says Congress
By Press Trust of India on 12:35 am December 30, 2021 No Comment
New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday accused the Modi government of compromising the country's strategic interests by selling profitable PSU Central Electronics Limited (CEL) to a private firm with no domain experience.
Addressing a press conference here, Congress spokesperson Gourav Vallabh claimed that the valuation of the CEL using different methods was between Rs 957 crore and Rs 1,600 crore and said the government had sold the Ghaziabad-based PSU to Nandal Finance and Leasing Pvt Ltd for Rs 210 crore.
We demand that this sale be stopped forthwith . The promoters of Nandal Finance are also linked to a private university in Noida-Ghaziabad reigon and are known for their proximity to BJP leaders, he said.
The government had announced the sale of CEL to Nandal Finance and Leasing for Rs 210 crore as against the reserve price of Rs 194 crore. This was the second strategic sale by the government after Air India.
The Congress spokesperson claimed that the private company that bought CEL from the government had just 10 employees and also had a case pending in the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal.
Vallabh said as per the financial statements filed by Nandal Finance and Leasing Pvt Ltd in 2019-20, 99.96 percent equity in the company was held by Premier Furnitures and Interiors Pvt Limited, which had no link to the business of CEL.
The government has sold a strategic PSU manufacturing satellite system, electric generator fuse for hand grenades and bullet proof materials for body armours to a furniture company, the Congress spokesperson said.
Vallabh demanded that the government spell out the strategic roadmap for disinvestment and whether it was wise to sell profit-making PSUs closely linked to national strategic interests.
Why was a profit-making strategic PSU handed over to a private company with less than 10 employees and no domain experience, he asked.
Stop CEL disinvestment, says Congress added by Press Trust of India on 12:35 am December 30, 2021

Are you a responsible parent?
JEDDAH: Many youngsters in the Kingdom have told Arab News that men who are unfit to be a good parent should refrain from having children in the first place. They said weak parenting is the main cause of depression and substance abuse for children.
Omar Ali, a 27-year-old sales manager in Jeddah, told Arab News he feels most men who are too busy preaching and lecturing others about life and religion end up having the most troubled children.
He feels it is more important to follow religion than to talk about it. It is common in Saudi Arabia for most working couples to hire nannies or housemaids to look after their children.
"If you are a busy man and your career is your priority then do not start a family and ignore them. God has not given you the right to play with someone's life," said Anam Majdi, a 26-year-old student living in Jeddah, told Arab News.
According to a previous published report in Arab News, Saudi Arabia has 1.2 million Indonesians working in Saudi Arabia, of which over 70 percent are domestic helpers.
Salwa Zahid, a 25-year-old marketing sales manager in Jeddah, said parents who do not have time for their children do not realize the impact of poor parenting and should rather not have children.
"Why have children when you don't have time for them? Especially five kids when you cannot sit with one of them at least once a day." She said parents negate the fact that children will fall prey to negative influences when ignored. "Be it choosing the wrong company or wrong ways to deal with depression." Salwa said most maids raise children in the Kingdom, especially when both parents are working.
"This negatively impacts the morale of a child and they often grow up looking for friends or any outsider who is willing to listen. My friend calls his nanny mom rather than his mother because she practically raised him up," she added.
Forty-eight-year-old, a mother of four Najla Amri told Arab News the government should take steps to educate Saudi men and women to understand the real essence of parenting.
Somayya Chabez (name changed), a writer living in Jeddah, said she would rather check herself into an old age home or hire someone to look after her. "I would not have children look after me, God forbid. That is not the purpose of child birth," she added.
Rana Ismail, a 22-year-old medical student living in Jeddah, said she has seen many instances in public where fathers smoke in front of their children or sit idle at cafes looking at other women even if their children are crying for attention.
Rana feels parents ignore their duty toward children whereas Islam teaches otherwise.
Hamdan feels most parents have forgotten the essence and reason of having a family. "How can a father who works all week expect the children to love him when he does not have the time to sit down and talk to them about their lives? Then parents get angry when most kids want to go out and see their friends. Well, at least their friends were there to listen to them when you were too busy with your job.
3 Comments to Are you a responsible parent?
This is so true! I have 5 children and I live in Jordan but I have never in my 12 years here had a maid . I do my best to teach them Islam , I remind them to pray each salat and I love reading stories of the prophet to them. This is more fulfilling then ignoring them and I wish more parents would stop trying to live there lives and worry more about there houses !
aslm aleikum what ever I read in this webside about family is thru to have childreen you can take care is batter to single and close to Allahs calls ?


A Conversation With Victoria De Maio!!
We travel for many reasons - to experience, enjoy, and learn about other cultures and ways of life. Doubtless, Italy is at the top of many lists. Dreamy photos and Hollywood's romantic images perpetuate the stereotypes.
For those and many other reasons, I feel that it's important to prepare you for the real and authentic Italy. And, the real and authentic Italy will never disappoint!
This is a conversation about Italy and the rich culture you'll experience when you visit!!
Come to Italy with Victoria!

Very unlikely heirs to the throne: A 'miracle worker' who talks to angels, a sheep shearer's wife and a psychedelic wannabe pop star are among the eccentrics in line to succeed the Queen
By Catherine Ostler for the Daily Mail
Published: 19:42 EST, 11 March 2016 | Updated: 07:26 EST, 9 May 2016
From a dry-stone-waller to a lady who posed in a rubber catsuit for a very dubious magazine, they're certainly a diverse bunch.
So what do they all have in common? Incredibly, they're all in the line of succession — part of the queue of royals waiting to succeed the Queen. While they might seem distinctly unregal, they're all descendants of a British monarch and so have earned their place in this most prestigious of waiting rooms.
Thankfully, though, they're rather further down the list than Princes William or George. Indeed, it's highly unlikely that this bunch will ever find themselves anywhere near the throne.
Which, after reading CATHERINE OSTLER's brilliantly waspish guide to the eccentrics in line to the top spot, you'll probably agree is for the best ...
Flora Ogilvy set up an art magazine while working at shops such as Burberry and Jack Will
Downton extra
Flora Ogilvy, 21
Position in line to the throne: 50
Claim to the crown: Granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, George V's granddaughter and the Queen's first cousin.
Flora dreams of art, not wearing a crown.
And so the exuberant blonde art history student set up an art magazine while working behind the tills at shops such as Burberry and Jack Wills, and spending time at Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses.
But she fitted in a walk-on part in Downton Abbey.
Eccentric rating:
Psychic horse whisperer
Princess Martha Louise is a trained physiotherapist
Princess Martha Louise of Norway, 44
Claim to the crown: Through her father, King Harald of Norway, great-grandson of Edward VII.
The British Royals made their way to Norway via Edward VII's daughter Princess Maud, who married King Haakon VII of Norway in 1896. In the line of succession, everybody from numbers 74-100 is of Norwegian blood.
Princess Martha Louise is in line to the throne of 16 Commonwealth realms — a sobering thought, when one considers she believes she's psychic and can communicate with animals and angels.
Martha Louise, who lived in Islington, North London from 2012 to 2014 with her author husband Ari Behn (pictured with her) and their three children but recently moved back to Norway, is a trained physiotherapist.
In 2007, she founded an alternative therapy centre in Oslo, claiming it would teach students how to 'create miracles' in their lives and harness the powers of their guardian angels, which she describes as 'forces that surround us and who are a resource and help in all aspects of our lives'.
Her book, Meet Your Guardian Angel, was a bestseller across the world.
How did she start talking to angels? She says she can speak to horses — and it was through them that she was introduced to angels. Naturally.
Olav Lorentzen has a reputation for being an exciting modern artist
X-rated naked artist
Olav Lorentzen, 30
Claim to the crown: He is grandson of King Harald of Norway's sister, Princess Ragnhild, who was a great-granddaughter of our own Edward VII.
Born in Rio, Olav has a reputation for being an exciting modern artist. But modern art and the British Royal Family aren't exactly natural bedfellows.
Currently studying art at Central Saint Martins in London, his work is best described as rather edgy.
His website includes a picture of him posing naked while having the back of his head shaved in front of a class of attentive students.
Another video, entitled My Painting is S**t, shows Olav pouring paint down the loo.
Apparently, he is 'transforming a banal act of discarding something into an act of creating something . . . turning waste into creation.' Just imagine what Prince Philip might make of that.
Hugh Carnegie has set up a company called the East of Scotland Dykers
Frightfully posh builder
Hon Hugh Carnegie, 23
Claim to the crown: He is the great-great-grandson of Louise, Princess Royal, the daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.
Hugh is the youngest of the three handsome sons of the Duke of Fife, who lives in Kinnaird Castle in Angus.
But unlike his conventional older brothers — an investment analyst and a trainee accountant — Hugh has set up a company called the East of Scotland Dykers. They rebuild dry-stone walls, or drystane as they call them in Scotland.
And Hugh is no hands-off CEO. He has a proper qualification in dry-stone walling and, despite those royal connections, he gets his hands dirty and builds walls along with the rest of his employees.
In her late teens, Marina posed for a fetish magazine in a rubber catsuit
Catsuit queen
Marina Ogilvy, 49
Claim to the crown: The daughter of Princess Alexandra, George V's granddaughter and the Queen's first cousin.
In her late teens, Marina posed for a fetish magazine in a rubber catsuit, wearing a crown and surrounded by corgis.
In 1989, she fell pregnant by photographer Paul Mowatt and sold her story, saying that her parents had said she should have an abortion if she didn't want to get married.
She and her bump walked up the aisle in February 1990, dressed in black.
Her daughter Zenouska was born four months later.
A son, Christian, arrived in 1993, but the marriage ended in 1997.
A custody battle followed, which she won. Today, she writes jingles for TV adverts and lives in a cottage on the Crown Estate in Windsor.
Lady Davina Lewis married Gary Lewis — Gazza — a sheep shearer of Maori descent
Surfing sheep shearer's wife
Lady Davina Lewis, 38
Position in line to throne: 28
Claim to the crown: Daughter of the Queen's first cousin, the Duke of Gloucester, who is also a grandson of George V.
'Denny' grew up in a Kensington Palace apartment, went to St George's Ascot and took a degree in media studies. So far, so predictable.
But then in 2004 she married Gary Lewis — Gazza — a sheep shearer of Maori descent, after meeting him while surfing in Bali.
The handsome Gazza is also a carpenter and surfer, and has very much taken after his father, who is a champion sheep-shearer in New Zealand.
After marrying, Denny and Gazza lived for a time in an unremarkable working-class suburb of Auckland. One neighbour was astonished to learn that royalty had been living next door. 'I was surprised because I would describe that place as poxy,' he said.
One estate agent said: 'I rented one place to them, but they asked me to find somewhere a bit cheaper.'
Today, they live happily in Britain and have two children.
David Lascelles is a great-grandson of George V
Jeremy Thorpe's Romeo stepson
David Lascelles, 8th Earl of Harewood, 65
Claim to the crown: A great-grandson of George V.
The Earl was brought up in a rather racy household. His father, the 7th Earl of Hare-wood, had a scandalous affair with a model, which led to an illegitimate son, Mark.
There was a huge outcry and David's mother, Marion, divorced his father in 1967. This very public adultery meant he was an outcast in royal circles for years.
Out of the frying pan into the fire. Marion then went on to marry Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe.
Little did she know that Thorpe, a closet homosexual, had had an affair with former model Norman Scott before they had wed. Thorpe was later acquitted of conspiracy to murder Scott. Marion never divorced him, standing by him throughout the ensuing scandal and trial.
Interestingly, David, who lives in Harewood House, the magnificent family pile in Yorkshire, went on to repeat the pattern set by his father, having two illegitimate children, Emily and Ben, before having two legitimate sons with his first wife, Margaret Messenger.
James Lascelles founded a band called the Global Village Trucking Company
Cockney rebel hippy
THE Hon. James Lascelles, 62
Claim to the crown: The younger brother of the 8th Earl of Harewood is a great-grandson of George V.
Thrice-married, he turned his back on his aristocratic lifestyle to live in a commune in Norfolk in the early Seventies.
Idealistic in the extreme, the keen musician founded a band called the Global Village Trucking Company, known to fans as 'The Globs'.
They wanted to see if they could survive without signing to a record label, and played numerous free concerts with moderate success.
He had four children with his first two wives, and is pictured here with second wife Lori and children Tanit and Tewa.
Today, James plays keyboards for Cockney Rebel, of (Come Up And See Me) Make Me Smile fame, and is married to Joy Elias-Rilwan, a Nigerian actress who is actively involved in efforts to combat Aids.
Alexander Lascelles spent time working as a chef in Shoreditch to pay the rent for his modest flat nearby
Cash-strapped hipster chef
Hon. Alexander Lascelles, 35
Claim to the crown: Son of the 8th Earl of Harewood, and greatgreat-grandson of George V.
Usually to be found in a baseball cap, the Earl-in-waiting, known as 'Orly' to his friends, is more East London hipster than king-in-waiting.
He's spent time working as a chef in Shoreditch to pay the rent for his modest flat nearby, where his specialties included monkfish tagine and slow cooked lamb.
Despite the fact that he will one day inherit the 3,000-acre Harewood estate, Orly struggles with cash, confessing to 'austerity drives', taking in lodgers and eating cheap cuts of meat.
Once asked if he would want to be king, he laughingly replied: 'No. It would be quite boring.' Not that he has to worry any time soon. . .
Amy Lascelles still lives in Australia and posts dreamy shots of her half-dressed self
Crystal-crazy beach babe
Amy Lascelles, 29
Claim to the crown: A great-great-granddaughter of George V, Amy Rose isn't averse to using her Royal connections. When working as a fitness trainer at a gym in London, in the lead-up to William and Kate's wedding she offered 'Royal workouts' alongside her sister Ellen (who is number 63 in line and works in Australia in events management).
Happily posing in toy crowns to promote their endeavour, they said the soundtrack to their exercise class would be the greatest hits of Queen and Prince.
Today, fun-loving Amy makes jewellery out of crystals, a skill she picked up in Australia when she was living the life of a surfer in Byron Bay.
Today, the blonde beach babe still lives in Australia and posts dreamy shots of her half-dressed self to advertise her crystals, priced between £30 and £38 and available for sale online and back in Britain in a shop in London's Chiswick.
She says everything is made 'by my own hands ... and sometimes feet'.
Rowan Lascelles works with a travelling theatre
Circus attraction
Rowan Lascelles, 38
Claim to the crown: A great-great-grandson of George V; nephew of the 8th Earl of Harewood, son of his younger brother James.
This king-in-waiting has actually run off and joined the circus. Rowan works with a travelling theatre, based in France, which has been described as circus-meets-Shakespeare and experiments with clowns, puppets and songs. The mind boggles.
In 2006, in Cambodia, he had a row in a guesthouse with a Russian trumpet player and threw his laptop into a lake. Police confiscated his passport and he went to court. The Cambodians were baffled by his claims that he was connected to British Royalty. You can understand, really.
Tewa Lascelles was lead guitarist with a band
Graffiti artist
Tewa Lascelles, 30
Claim to the crown: A great-greatgrandson of George V.
They don't get more anti-Establishment than handsome, blue-eyed Tewa.
Youngest son of James Lascelles with his second wife Lori, Tewa was the lead guitarist with a Los Angeles-based 'progressive punk thrash band' called The Highest Account, and is still an alternative musician.
He is also a 'stencil spray paint graffiti artist' (think Banksy if you're confused)with a fondness for tattoos.
Maximilian Lascelles is a fan of Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn
Sex funk drummer
Maximilian Lascelles, 24
Claim to the crown: A great-great-grandson of George V.
Taking after his musical father, Henry Lascelles, the uncle to the current Earl of Harewood, Maxmilian is a drummer.
Currently training at a contemporary music school in Guildford, he is in a band called Sasquatch Walk, which is described as 'a psychedelic sex funk band'.
According to his social media profile, Maximilian is a fan of Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, American Democratic Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders and marijuana.

Plautus: Casina
By: Christenson, David
Part of the Bloomsbury Ancient Comedy Companions series
eBook (Adobe Pdf)
County of Pub
Copy Limits
Copy: 10%; print: 10%
Description based on CIP data; resource not viewed.
This is the first volume dedicated to Plautus' perennially popular comedy Casina that analyses the play for a student audience and assumes no knowledge of Latin.
It launches a much-needed new series of books, each discussing a comedy that survives from the ancient world.
Four chapters highlight the play's historical context, themes, performance and reception, including its reflection of recent societal trends in marriage and property ownership by women after the Punic Wars, and its complex dynamics on stage.
It is ideal for students, but helpful also for scholars wanting a brief introduction to the play. Casina pits a husband (Lysidamus) and wife (Cleostrata) against each other in a struggle for control of a 16-year-old slave named Casina.
Cleostrata cleverly plots to frustrate the efforts of her lascivious elderly husband, staging a cross-dressing 'marriage' that culminates in his complete humiliation.
The play provides rich insights into relationships within the Roman family.
This volume analyses how Casina addresses such issues as women's status and property rights, the distribution of power within a Roman household, and sexual violence, all within a compellingly meta-comic framework from which Cleostrata emerges as a surprising comic hero.
It also examines the play's enduring popularity and relevance.

Akron Public Schools » News » Past Archived News - 2018 » Past Archived News - May 2018 » Board Hears Encouraging Results
Dedicated to a Higher Graduation Rate
(as reported by Theresa Cottom, ohio.com/Akron Beacon Journal)
At the beginning of the school year, only 54 percent of Akron Public Schools seniors were on track to graduate.
But since the state implemented alternative paths to graduation for the class at the academic year's start, the district has not only raised that by nearly 40 percentage points — it's come the closest it's been in more than 35 years to reaching its target graduation rate.
In a presentation to the Akron school board during its regular meeting Monday night, Mark Black, the district's executive director of secondary schools, said he projects 93 percent of the district's current seniors will graduate on time this year.
That's a rough estimate, Black stressed, because students have the potential to get off track before the end of the year. Plus, the state includes other factors in a district's overall graduation rate, including students who transferred out of the district and are attending another school or students who transferred into the district.
Regardless, the overall graduation rate for 2018 is set to be the closest it's been in decades to the district's goal of 93 percent.
The district's overall four-year graduation rate last year was 74 percent. That rate saw a little boost to about 82 percent when counting only students who spend all four years in the district.
But the district coming short of its graduation goals is a statewide problem that a committee, which included Akron Superintendent David James, set out to resolve at the school year's start.
Ohio students have a few ways they can graduate, but a majority have to take all seven state end-of-course exams, earn a minimum combined total of 18 points from those exams and take 21 credits throughout high school.
For those students who weren't able to earn enough points on their state exams, even after retests, state educators developed nine alternatives that the class of 2018 only could complete to graduate. Students have to fulfill two of the nine, which are:
Having an attendance rate of 93 percent senior year.
Earning a GPA of 2.5 or higher in all courses senior year.
Completing a capstone project that explores a personal interest in depth.
Completing 120 community service hours senior year.
Earning three or more College Credit Plus credits any year of high school.
Earning credit for Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate coursework and earning an AP exam score of at least 3 and an IB exam score of at least 4 any year of high school.
Earning a WorkKeys (career readiness assessment) exam score of 3 or higher on each of three test sections.
Earning an industry-recognized credential.
Meeting the OhioMeansJobs Readiness Seal requirements.
At the beginning of the school year, Black and others on a graduation committee identified the seniors — 537 of 1,444 — who were meeting their attendance requirements but not earning enough points on state exams. There were 129 additional seniors who were not on track to graduate because of poor attendance.
Students who were short on points were required to complete a "senior project" class from October until the end of the year, in which they were paired with mentors and teachers outside of school hours to help them fulfill their requirements.
"Mentors and advisers did a lot of hand-holding," said Marcie Ebright, the district's digital learning specialist who was on the graduation committee.
All students in that course completed a capstone project as their first requirement, and then they could choose their second to fulfill. Some opted for the higher GPA and attendance, but Ebright said community service was popular as well — in all, seniors clocked 46,000 hours of service this year.
Of the 537 who were identified as needing more points, only 25 have yet to reach their requirements.
The state continued to add and change requirements as the year went on, which complicated the process, Black said. But overall, he and his team agree that the updated requirements allow a student to demonstrate his or her abilities much better than on a test.
"When we allow for students to navigate their journey and connect it to the real world, and not just a test, they see the benefit and they make it happen," Black said.
The state is still determining what the graduation requirements will be for students graduating next year and beyond.
I Promise update
The school board also heard updates Monday about the I Promise School building, which will open in July at 400 W. Market St. The building is currently the district's swing space that houses other schools that need a temporary location, including Case Elementary, which is moving out of the space this summer into its own building.
Debra Foulk, the executive director of business affairs for APS, said people will be working on revamping the space physically from now until it's opened. The changes, which include a black-and-white color scheme, clean designs and altered landscaping, will be proposed to the board for final approval in the upcoming months.
"As you drive by, more than likely you will see the lights on 24/7," Foulk said.


CNFA is currently seeking applications from qualified candidates for Chief of Party (COP) supporting the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food for Progress (FFPr) program West Africa region (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Nigeria). The FFPr program aims to improve agricultural production and expand trade of agricultural products in developing countries through the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities. The anticipated project will be a five-year project which aims to build the competitiveness of the West African cashew industry resulting in increased direct trade with the region.
A Master's degree in agriculture, management, international development, or a related field of study or equivalent work experience required.
English fluency required, knowledge of French strongly preferred.

Most of the schema matching tools are assembled from multiple match algorithms, each employing a particular technique to improve matching accuracy and making matching systems extensible and customizable to a particular domain. The solutions provided by current schema matching tools consist in aggregating the results obtained by several match algorithms to improve the quality of the discovered matches. However, aggregation entails several drawbacks. Recently, it has been pointed out that the main issue is how to select the most suitable match algorithms to execute for a given domain and how to adjust the multiple knobs (e.g. threshold, performance, quality, etc.). In this article, we present a novel method for selecting the most appropriate schema matching algorithms. The matching engine makes use of a decision tree to combine the most appropriate match algorithms. As a first consequence of using the decision tree, the performance of the system is improved since the complexity is bounded by the height of the decision tree. Thus, only a subset of these match algorithms is used during the matching process. The second advantage is the improvement of the quality of matches. Indeed, for a given domain, only the most suitable match algorithms are used. The experiments show the effectiveness of our approach w.r.t. other matching tools.

I cut the inner part and added a funny old photo.
I used the tiles and I have divided the suitcases.
There are really great and looks like original attics finds.
It adds so much dimension to this layout.


Although I am unsure of when the Village Mall opened, it existed as one of the smaller regional malls popular back in the day. It's only true anchor was a Bradlees located at it's far end. On the other end was an ACME supermarket, although it offered no entrace to the mall itself. The mall was one floor, set up in an F pattern, with the two right tips offering entrances to the mall, the bottom on the F hitting a dead end, and the top of the F offering entrace to the Bradlees. It featured a a two cinema movie theatre and an arcade.
In 1982, the Willow Grove Park Mall opened in nearby Willow Grove, and the decline of the Village Mall was apparent. By the early 90s, the entire section from the middle to the dead end was vacant, with one larger store in that section hosting Toys for Tots each year. The movie theatre became second run, offering 1.50 films. As Bradlees entered Bankruptcy in 1995, the location at the village mall was closed, and things became worse.
A few short years later, an attempt at revitalization was made. Wal-Mart took over the Bradlees location, and a few new businesses moved into the mall. But not even that could save the mall. Eventually, the mall was redeveloped and turned into a strip mall. The entrance between the Wal-Mart and the mall was sealed up.
Currently, there are still remnants of the mall. Three businesses still remain, all of which were located on the outward face of the mall- a Chinese restaraunt, a nail salon, and an Eckerd. The front doors to the Eckerd do not lead into the Eckerd itself- rather, they lead into an original hallway from the mall which goes straight to the Eckerd. The glass doors which originally lead into Chinese Store from the mall interior allow customers to see the mall's interior hallway and a closed store across from it. However, other stores have been built completely through, from front to back.
In addition, two other stores remain in business. Village Hardware, a family owned hardware store, moved into a location on Hatboro's main street. Village Pretzels (formerly Pretzel King), a small stand from the mall, also moved to Hatboro's main street.

Tight and lumpy, but with smooth fast flowing corners is how you would describe the circuit for National Criterium Champs this year, around Preston town centre.
With a duration of just 30 mins plus 5 laps event, the small field were always going to rip it up from the gun and it was Corinne Hall who kept the pressure on for the first three laps, turning up the heat each time the bunch rode up the rise and through the finish area. This caused the field to string out immediately and gaps opened up all over the place. Within five minutes there was, two separate groups on the road, with stragglers in between and tailing off the back. A large number of riders decided to call it a day and went home early.
Ex-national circuit race champion, Jo Rowsell put in multiple attacks on the hardest part of the course, causing even greater separation and at half distance, the front group had lapped all but two of the field and was down to a select group of just eight riders, including Jo Rowsell, Corinne Hall, Hannah Barnes, Kara Chesworth, Sarah Storey, Nicola Juniper, Sarah King and Sarah Byrne.
Sarah Storey had done stirling work earlier in the race; she rode through the field to get to the front and although she tried to get away, she was unsuccessful and ultimately, she paid for her earlier efforts and the consistently high pace of the lead group. She was eventually dropped, along with Juniper, King and Byrne, leaving just four riders to contest the medals.
In the last laps, the pace was kept high by Jo Rowsell and Corinne Hall, but neither could escape the small group. At the bell, the four lead riders started to look at each other, no one wanting to be the first to take up the sprint. In the end, it was Corinne Hall who jumped first but she was unable to hold off junior, Hannah Barnes, who showed a clean pair of heels to clip away and win by several bike lengths. Corinne Hall hung on for second, with Jo Rowsell picking up bronze and Kara Chesworth trailing over the line in fourth.
In the final lap, the chase group made up a lot of time and finished just 50 metres behind, with Nicola Juniper taking 5th from Byrne, King and Storey.
A super fast race and an excellent result for Barnes, who had returned from racing in France only the night before.
Thanks to David Jack of Active Life Logistics for the race report.


I would like to put them all in together and possibly get an older sow as well, can anyone with any experience enlighten me as to whether its OK to have 2 boars living together or not.
My only experience has been with boars intended for the dinner table. Although definitely well past puberty they got on very well together, but then there were no girlies around.
I could envisage problems when the sows come on heat, so you would probably need a secure area for the sows at that time.
Are the boars full boars or castrates?
If full boars you could have a problem, particularly when your gilt starts to brim (season) as Judith says.
They could also fight just being together, if they are full boars.
Interesting that you are in NZ and visiting this UK site.
Have you tried the NZ KK web site below?
We've got two boars together & they do fight a bit, but then so do the sows. They seem to manage OK when heats come round & maybe they draw straws, but they don't seem to fight over the ladies. I suppose it depends largely on the temperament of the animals- they do say that a younger boar will live better with an older one than it would with another boar of similar age.
bit of a mix though.
Our two females fight quite a lot, maybe its just a matter of finding who's boss, and then they might get settled, unless theres no pecking order in the piggy world.
You could give em the snip to get some chilled porkies.

Pro-Homosexual Bullying Bill is Dead
By L.A. Williams, Correspondent
Christian Action League of North Carolina, Inc.
RALEIGH — State Senators who a week ago may have been unsure of where their constituents stood on a controversial anti-bullying bill apparently got the message this week as they left the Capitol at the end of the session Friday without passing the so-called School Violence Prevention Act.
"This was a very difficult battle, but it had to be fought. The e-mails, phone calls, as well as other contacts to legislators helped make the difference. Moreover, I think it's just as important to remember many were praying earnestly," said the Rev. Mark Creech, executive director of the Christian Action League of North Carolina.
Between the time the House turned down the Senate version of the bill — one that offered protection to all students — and the unveiling of a conference bill that promoted the homosexual agenda, lawmakers were inundated with hundreds of contacts from North Carolinians opposed to the pro-gay measure.
"We sent out alerts on the legislation both by mail and email, contacted churches, engaged our Advisory Board members, as well as recruited the assistance of our friends and allies from the American Family Association and people from across the Tar Heel State responded in a phenomenal way," said Creech.
Introduced by Rep. Rick Glazier (D-Cumberland), House Bill 1366 would have required public schools to adopt policies prohibiting bullying motivated by more than 15 characteristics including "gender identity or expression" and "sexual orientation," two undefined traits that are not a part of any state law.
"It would elevate sexual orientation and gender identity or expression to the same level with the enumerations of race, color, ancestry, national origin, gender, physical appearance, mental, physical or sensory disability — all immutable or unchangeable characteristics. Yet homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender, cross dressing and other alternate sexual behaviors are not immutable, but changeable. It would be most egregious to affirm by state law that what is unnatural behavior is somehow unchangeably innate and normal," Creech said.
The compromise bill replaced "gender identity or expression" with "masculinity and femininity," but still belied supporters' true goals — legitimizing sexually alternate behaviors in North Carolina law and then paving the way for homosexual ideology to be promoted in North Carolina public schools. Presenting LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) students as victims is a key strategy of the gay rights movement.
By voting down the Senate version of the School Violence Prevention Act — which didn't include the objectionable language — promoters of the Glazier bill showed that their aim was more about advancing the homosexual agenda than about protecting children, Creech said.
"That's the sad part of this whole ordeal, we could have a strong law that would be consistent with the bullying policy approved by the North Carolina Board of Education in 2004 – one without enumerations that would best protect all students – but obviously that's not what the homosexual forces wanted. They insisted on the objectionable language and that's what led to the failure of the bill," he said.
As legislators were bombarded with contacts opposing the homosexual-backed legislation, the State School Board Chairman told the media he also disagreed with a bill that included a laundry list of whom shouldn't be bullied.
"Bullying is bullying. I don't care who it's against and under what circumstances," Howard Lee told the Raleigh News and Observer.
He did not deny that bullying is a problem in the schools, but like many others in education, stressed the importance of putting the focus on stopping the bullying behavior rather than analyzing why a student may become a target.
Brenda High, founder and co-director of Bully Police U.S.A., told the North Carolina Family Policy Council earlier this year that the most effective anti-bullying policies are those that apply to all students and do not list subgroups.
"Adding the protective language for victims to a law, or what I call inclusive language, assumes that having the 'wrong' attitude about sexual orientation and gender identity will increase one's likelihood of being a bully or harasser," High said. "Bullies bully because they can and because they get away with it. All that needs to be done to stop bullying is to stop the behavior of these bullies. It's as simple as that."
Although both the House and the Senate had been expected to vote on Glazier's bill this past week, by Friday it had been sent to the Senate Committee on Judiciary I and to the House Conference Committee to die.
Some media accounts imply that the Christian Action League's opposition to HB 1366 was complicit with pro-bullying behavior against homosexuals. "Such implications are absolute nonsense," said Rev. Creech. "We fully supported the Senate's version of the legislation that would have covered all of the bullying scenarios, providing the paramount protection for every child. Unfortunately, the overburdening of the bill with language that was not only unnecessary, but also provided a premise for the propagation of something immoral is what really killed it," he said.

In a tarot card reading Bangkok. Debbie Creagh, (a psychic medium) channels insight and practical guidance. Clients become aware of any actionable steps that are needed to move forwards.
Going back in time, the origins of the tarot cards reach back to the 15th century in Europe. The Tarot card symbology were cherished in the courts of Italian nobles. They were spread throughout Europe by gypsies and fortune-tellers. These cards are known to have a 'psychic language' that allowed for deeper access to the mind.
Tarot cards mirror the qualities of one's mind – thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, what is most important to an individual. In addition, The tarot are comprised of 2 decks of cards. The Major Aranca which are the 22 picture cards, and The Minor Arcana. The 22 Major Arcana represent the different stages of personal evolution on a soul journey. They reflect our 'inner self' and the stages we encounter on our path to self-awareness. Moreover, they highlight where attention is required pertaining to ones spiritual and psychological growth. The Minor Arcana represent our 'outer self' and how we are influenced as human beings on life's journey.
A psychic tarot card reading offers the opportunity to see the inner workings of our lives and how they will play out depending on the choices one makes. It's the opening of a door to possibilities. A lens through which we can view another life beyond what we previously perceived. There is an incredible depth of information that can be revealed pertaining to life and solutions that await you!
Debbie Creagh views her psychic tarot card reading as a form of 'spiritual counseling'. She strives to empower people to develop a greater sense of self – to look inwards and to trust their own instincts and intuition.
Whats the difference between a tarot card reader and a fortune teller?
People are very curious about the future. They visit fortune tellers to see what their future holds. A fortune-teller can tell you facts about situations, events from your past and predict future events. During fortune-telling, questions are posed. Different divination techniques can be utilized. These include astrology, crystal ball, tea leaf readings, pendulum and palm reading.
Some Fortune-tellers adapt to analyze and interpret hand writing and or facial features etc. Unfortunately, some fortune-tellers can also be 'misfortune tellers' as they present negative predictions. However, fortune-telling is not an accurate assessment as many unknown factors influence outcomes.
If you are seeking guidance for a better life in areas such as career, finances, relationships, spiritual growth etc., then you are seeking a psychic reading. Psychics/tarot card readers are known to be conduits for spirit. They channel detailed explanations about the spiritual, emotional and mental aspects of a situation.
Doing a psychic reading is a wonderful opportunity for healing. Root causes often go back as far as ones childhood. This creates a repetition of circumstances or patterns similar to the one individual is presently manifesting.
It is important to understand that a genuine psychic will not give any information regarding misfortune. Instead, they view the positive outcomes that could occur once the client shifts their perception. This awareness assists them to arrive at necessary conclusions to evolve to the next stage in their lives. During a psychic reading, the client waits till the end of the reading in order to ask any further questions they may have.
When Debbie Creagh gives a psychic tarot reading in Bangkok, she always ensures that the client understands how past events, choices and beliefs has brought the individual to this point. Then positive learnings can be percieved. Through a deeper understanding and channeled guidance, the client gains the knowledge and tools necessary to shift from where they are now to where they should be. Debbie has some fantastic testimonials to endorse her sessions.
What is the difference between a Mediumistic message and a psychic one?
Put simply, psychics, perceive and mediums receive. Debbie Creagh is a well-known psychic medium in Bangkok. She explains that 'Every medium is psychic but not every psychic is a medium'. A psychic tunes into the persons energy field and aura. Therefore, the persons potential possible future can be determined.
A medium, on the other hand, works differently. "Firstly, we need to understand that when our physical bodies die, our higher consciousness, which is energy, continues on another higher plain of existence. (Debbie Creagh).
Indeed "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another (Einstein). Therefore a medium raises their own vibrational frequency and those in the spirit realm lower their vibrational frequency. Then communication can take place.
When a psychic medium reaches another vibrational frequency, they use different kinds of sensitivities relating to the senses to receive messages in different ways. Examples include clairaudience (perceptive hearing), clairvoyance (perceptive seeing), clairsentience (perceptive sensing and feeling), and claircognizant (perceptive knowing).
We all have at least one of these abilities. A naturally gifted psychic medium like Debbie Creagh has developed these gifts to a professional level in order to pass important messages on to individuals destined to receive them.
When those who have transitioned connect, they begin by giving evidence that validates who they are and how they lived. This way, the person receiving the reading can be in no doubt who it is. Details such as where they lived, how they dressed, personalities, personal phrases, who they have connected with on the other side etc are relayed to the client.
Loved ones may may give information and guidance to the client while connecting and reassure the client that all will be well. The information passed on can greatly transform the life of the person receiving the message.
"There comes a point in your life when you receive an awakening and that happened when I met Debbie. She channeled my dad who gave her a very strong and distinct message for me. This was a message that lead me on a journey to know the truth, a journey of self discovery. This would never have taken place if Debbie had not been a medium of communication between my dad and myself.
One important fact about mediumship is that there is no guarantee that the loved one will cross over. It's like making a phone call, sometimes they pick up and sometimes they don't, but more cross than not. Loved ones on the other side who chose to come across are then able to pass on the information.
Debbie Creagh has also done some Platform mediumship. This is where the medium opens up for a group of people in a room and passes messages on to them from people who have already transitioned. The medium gets a 'feeling' who the message is for and is directed by the loved one.
Why should I book a Tarot card session?
Fate and Destiny do exist but we are so often blind to what is going on round us that we often miss clear signals about our true pathway. A Tarot Card Reading is a wonderful way of accessing Divine messages from spirit and exploring the path we have been on. We become aware certain patterns that have led us to the present and unlock new possibilities that were previously hidden. "Whether its a need for reassurance, direction, healing, or clarity about circumstances, a reading with me will definitely enlighten you" (Debbie Creagh).
Who normally books Tarot cards?
Anyone seeking insight, clarity, guidance, or is at a crossroads in life. Perhaps someone requires confidence and reassurance that they are on the right path. Some just need a little nudge in the right direction. People from all walks of life have had psychic readings with me from celebrities, designers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and housewives.
When can I expect some results from the Tarot Card Reading?
It depends on the person and the kind of reading that the person had. There is a divine timing events in our lives. Spirit is working out the details behind the scenes to bring the person what they have asked for. That being said, in Debbie Creagh's 14 years of doing psychic readings, her clients have seen results and within days or weeks. She has even witnessed clients getting results the same day as they had the reading is a truly wonderful experience! Its amazing what can happen when people let go in faith, even for a day, to allow what they asked for to manifest.
What other services do you include with the Tarot Card booking?
As a certified NLP coach, energy healer, psychic medium and tarot card reader Debbie Creagh uses all her abilities in a session. Healing energy is passed on to the client during the psychic tarot reading. Quite often the client can become emotional or release blocked energy from the body that was creating confusion or hurt. Debbie is not just a psychic, she is also a medium, which is quite rare to find.
Sometimes a mediumistic message comes through during the session from a loved one, which apart from bringing incredible joy and peace to the client. It also restores their faith that someone in heaven is watching over them. Tools can also be given when necessary to assist the client in shifting their energy back into alignment. Positive affirmations, tips on how to manifest wishes, journaling to receive positive learnings from life's challenges.
How often can I come for a Tarot Card reading in Bangkok?
Its best to allow some time to pass for certain events to unfold before having another psychic tarot card reading (a month or more). When you get an accurate reading, it gives you the heads up on the work that needs to be done. It redirects one's life in a more fulfilling direction and allows us to obtain ones hearts desires.
Its a gift to be given this chance to glance into the mirror of your life. To retrace your steps, comprehend where you got lost and shape a more beneficial path for the future. Life is an adventure and each situation can be an opportunity for learning, growth and self discovery. However, if you have a psychic tarot card reading too often, you can lose focus and get stuck in the mud. Have faith, surrender and marvel at how everything falls into place perfectly as you hold the space for it.
I feel I have a psychic gift but do not know how to utilize it. Can you help me open that up?
Well we all come into the world psychic. Whether you call it intuitive, psychic, sensitive we all have a psychic ability. When we go to school we start using the left hand side of your brain as opposed to the right. We can then be pulled away from our psychic ability. It is a matter of connecting to and opening that innate ability up and exercising it as you would your body in the gym to get some 'psychic muscle'.
Debbie Creagh has written a course in teaching people to do just that called 'Intuitive Awareness with Tarot Cards' and many of her students have gone on to have successful careers in tarot card readings.
I've heard people can block a psychic tarot card reading, is that possible?
Yes a person can block a psychic reading. Sometimes a client is just very guarded and other times it is because they are 'testing' the psychic. If the client has a very closed mindset, the reading will not have the same amount of depth and the client will not receive the full benefits of the reading. You really receive what you allow.
"It's an integral part of the process to first build rapport and relax the client, relieving them of any concerns they may have about the process of a psychic reading explaining how it works. By reassuring them that the messages are from the highest of good (I always ask permission of the client's Higher Self ), they can relax and enjoy a full in-depth reading, with the resources and guidance available.
Do you teach mediation with the tarot card reading?
Can I record the Tarot card session?
Recordings of the psychic reading are given after the session along with the tarot card spread from the tarot card reading.
Can I bring someone with me to listen to the tarot card session?
Yes, you can bring someone along to a tarot card reading. However, it's important to be aware they are extremely personal and can sometimes be an emotional experience. Therefore its important that you bring someone you are comfortable sharing the session with.
The best psychic medium ive ever come across, and that is saying a lot… if you are looking for spiritual guidance Debbie is your guide. Debbie's Tarot card abilities just scratch the surface of her abilities as a psychic.. get your self booked in and prepare to be amazed.

Anyone with eczema can testify to the quick speed with which most doctors are ready to dispense prescriptions for steroid creams. However, an increasing number of people are turning a skeptical eye towards this conventional approach to treatment and questioning steroids' safety. These creams are absorbed into the body through the skin. There are strict maximums on steroid dosages due to potential side effects, which children are particularly prone to. Although regarded by many as a benign medication, steroid creams can actually cause growth restriction for children, thinning of the skin, depigmentation, contact dermatitis, stretchmarks, and more. Although there are cases where eczema requires medical treatment, there are safer alternatives to steroid creams that can be tried first.
The first "treatment" to try for eczema is not a treatment at all but rather prevention via the identification of eczema triggers. Take a look at what some factors might be in causing the appearance or worsening of eczema. This includes infections; very hot or very cold weather; environmental allergens such as pollen, mold, dust, or pets; skin exposure to substances that can irritate the skin, such as many soaps and laundry detergents, body care products, and cleaning products. Even emotional stress can cause an eczema flare. Changing hormone levels may also trigger it, as can certain foods (whether or not you have a truly allergy to them).
The second natural approach that can be taken to treat eczema is the use of chemical-free moisturizers, emollients and oils to sooth the skin and deeply moisturize it, as well as protecting it from weather changes and irritants. When Ora's Amazing Herbal was first launched, two of our first products were our All-Purpose Salve and Touchy Skin Salve. These were initially created by founder Ora Assayag to treat her own child's severe eczema in order to avoid resorting to the antibiotics and corticosteroids suggested by doctors. Ora quickly discovered these salves were effective for the treatment of eczema and extremely dry skin, didn't cause stinging for people with irritated and sensitive skin, and provided a protective barrier for people engaging in work or play that can irritate and dry out the skin, in addition to having many healing properties. They can be applied to a child's exposed skin before going out into the cold or heat, used to treat rough, dry or irritated patches of skin, and can even be effective for cradle cap. Consider giving safe salves and healing oils a try before resorting to medical treatments that may cause as many problems as they solve.
When I first became a mother, I panicked. It was the first time in life I had ever committed to something that I could never walk away from if the going got rough. It was the first time the buck really ever stopped with me. Really, anything else, if you really have to, you can walk away. This motherhood thing was different (insert the word fatherhood if you are a dad) and it freaked me out. On reflecting upon my initiation into motherhood, I thought of the things I wish someone had engrained in me in the beginning. I wrote these 10 things from my current self, the relaxed, well balanced, fully in control and always put together (ahem ahem) mother of 12 years and four amazing, compassionate, beautiful (now I'm not joking it's really totally true) kids.
1. You are doing the best you can. Assume the same in everyone else. There may be a few mothers out there who don't care about their children, I am told, but I have yet to meet one. They are the exception. Most mothers love their children and are doing the best they can with what they have. Don't judge them or yourself. If you feel like you could do more, do more. If you feel like you can't, don't.
2. You are the only mother your children will ever have. If they need someone to make clear boundaries, set standards, draw a line, make a hard decision, fight a battle, it is your job. No one else can tell you when it is time to do this and when it is time to let it go. You are their only mother who would kill or die for these people without any hesitation, and who really knows them well enough to be equipped to make that decision. You are the only one with the power to always and without fail, have their best interest in mind. Do not let anyone ever tell you what is right for your children. Collect info, research, get support where you need it, and make decisions based on what is right for you and your family and no one else ever.
3. It will never be enough. It's ok. You are their mother, you are not Gd. You can not make the world a different place than what it is. You can however do your best to prepare your children for the world that you brought them into. Heartbreaking, but true.
4. Change is constant. Do what is right for you and your family now, and don't be afraid to change it up. Each child is different, every stage is different, you as a mother have learned and grown. It is good.
5. Being a martyr does not make you a good mother. An exhausted, out of shape, poorly fed, unhappy mother, teaches children that model. The only way to teach your children to be energetic, healthy, nourished, and happy, is to be those things for yourself first.
6. Your kids know you. Do not underestimate them. Maintain your integrity, and be honest with them. Apologize, and grow. They love you. They will forgive you.
7. Give them responsibility as soon as they are capable. You are their teacher, not their slave. The best way is to teach it is to do it together until they can take over.
8. Their siblings are your gift to them. Long after you are gone, they will have each other. Help them love each other. Teach them forgiveness and compassion for one another, not by telling, but by showing. Don't feel guilty when you don't have all the time you wish you had for each individual. After all, they have each other too, because you did that for them.
9. Remember how hard it is to be a kid. Tell them about it.
10. Show your family that you appreciate and are grateful for them. More important than what diapers you use, what baby carrier you wear, how many years you breastfeed exclusively, how many beds you fit in the bedroom, what grass fed organic butter you use on your sprouted gluten free dehydrated omega 3 probiotic crackers, what education system you choose, what religion and spiritual path you ascribe to, is to smile at each other and be grateful for every moment.
Thank you, self. I will keep that in mind.

Watch: SHINEDOWN's BRENT SMITH Jumps Into Crowd At Toronto Concert To Break Up Fight
SHINEDOWN frontman Brent Smith stopped the band's concert in Ontario, Canada on July 22 and physically went into the crowd to break up a fight.
According to MusicLifeMagazine.net, the incident happened earlier in SHINEDOWN's 17-song set at the at History venue in downtown Toronto. Smith jumped into the audience to address the altercation, telling the aggressor to back off and chill. He then announced to the alleged victim that he would have them and their guest join side stage to see the rest of the show.
SHINEDOWN is currently touring Canada with special guests POP EVIL and AYRON JONES. The band is promoting its latest album, "Planet Zero", which topped all four Billboard rock album charts in its first week of release: Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums. The set sold 50,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate. Of that sum, 43,000 were via album sales. On the all-genre Billboard 200, "Planet Zero" came in at No. 5, marking SHINEDOWN's fifth top five title. It also landed at No. 1 on the all-genre Top Album Sales chart.
"Planet Zero", was released on July 1. The high-concept, viscerally charged album, produced by SHINEDOWN's Eric Bass, takes a hard look at the divisiveness among those of differing ideologies, cancel culture ran rampant, the toxicity of social media, the need for honesty in our public discourse, and the corrosive effects of these things on mental health and humanity.
SHINEDOWN recorded "Planet Zero" during the pandemic, mostly in Bass's newly built Big Animal Studio in his home base of South Carolina.
"Planet Zero"'s six predecessors have sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and all gone gold or better — double platinum in the case of 2008's "The Sound of Madness", according to Billboard.
The next U.S. leg of the "Planet Zero" world tour (produced by Live Nation) begins in Bonner Springs, Kansas on September 3 with special guests JELLY ROLL and John Harvie. The routing also includes festival performances at Louder Than Life on September 23 in Louisville, Kentucky and Aftershock on October 9 in Sacramento, California.
SHINEDOWN recently embarked on a Europe run of festival performances and select shows with IRON MAIDEN.

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Valley West Mall plans to undergo changes, starting with its name.
It will be called "Valley West Commons." General Manager Paul Stender says it will become a place to live, work and play.
In a statement, Stender says discussions are underway to bring new entertainment, food, retail, office, and residential space as part of the proposed redevelopment.
"The retail industry as a whole is going through an unprecedented change on a local and national level. Valley West Mall has not been immune from these changes. While the current environment is challenging, Valley West has a great location within the metro area and is looking to become Valley West Commons, a live, work and play district. Many discussions have taken place with entertainment, food, retail, office and residential businesses which are very interested in being a part of the redevelopment. So while today's environment is difficult the future for Valley West Commons is exciting," said Stender in a statement.
Renderings show a movie theater and a green space with a pond.
The mall has some empty store fronts. That includes the anchor space after Younkers shut down last year. Charlotte Russe will close soon after the retailer recently announced it is closing all its store.

The Remove Before Flight Keychain from Rotary13B1 is a must-have for real aviation buffs and virtual Flight Simulator experts alike. The keychain and the printing on it is a perfect replica of the real warning signs that are hung on airplanes that are still being inspected before takeoff. The bright red color and the bold double-sided printing is supposed to make it very visible and hard-to-miss. It's meant to prevent an awkward moment halfway through the flight when the pilot realizes something's wrong because a sleepy maintenance guy missed a part of the daily drill. As far as the keychain is concerned, whatever you hook it to will be easy to find at home or in the clutter of a black hole filled with a gazillion tons of junk otherwise known as your bag.

Identified Technologies, Wharton Business Plan Competition Finalist
By Andy Wu PhD'16 (Team Leader) and Dick Zhang ENG'15 (on leave; Team Member) for Identified Technologies
Identified Technologies delivers a system of flying robots to collect data, for today's data-driven industrial businesses, in settings where it is too dangerous or physically impossible to currently place sensors.
What's new and exciting about your business?
For industrial firms who require extensive data to increase their outputs, decrease their input costs, and operate safely, Identified Technologies delivers teams of flying robots to collect data quicker, more frequently, and in a more scalable format than today's labor intensive or imprecise manned aerial and satellite methods. We are protected by multiple pending patents and are licensing key flight control technology from the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab.
We are initially serving the oil & gas industry, but our technology has broad applications to other industries wherever aerial sensing is needed. We are currently rolling out our technology to multiple sites, including several for a Fortune 200 natural gas processing and transportation firm
How did you come up with this idea?
Dick is an engineer with a broad interest in robotics and hardware, and he was searching thoroughly for opportunities in the space. He recognized the opportunity present in both further automation of industrial processes as well as the nascent but swiftly growing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) space. Andy researches and teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at Wharton, with a particular focus on innovation management and strategy in the robotics, biotechnology, software, and aerospace & defense industries.
Dick and Andy joined up and started working on this idea over a year ago, and we have been refining our product and business model every day since. Our company has grown rapidly since: we've raised a pre-seed round, and we have established offices in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with several employees.
What does it mean to you to one of the "Great Eight" finalists in the Wharton Business Plan Competition?
The Wharton Business Plan Competition has a prestigious history and we are humbled to be a part of it. Moreover, we are honored to be affiliated in such a public way with the University of Pennsylvania: this company would not exist without the old Red and Blue.
If you win the Perlman Grand Prize ($30,000 prize, $10,000 in legal services, $5,000 in accounting/strategy services), what will you do with these resources?
We will spend the $30,000 on 4 to 6 new patent ideas that we have, and if there is anything left, put the remaining on international filings on prior patents. We would use the legal & accounting services towards closing our next funding round.
What's one fun fact about each member of your team?
Dick is a phenomenal golfer and eight-ball pool player. He will beat anyone in a game of pool.* Andy works as a DJ at Penn events and various bars and venues in Philadelphia. Dick and Andy are also both caddies, so we know what it means to carry a lot of weight over a long distance.
*Andy's greatest achievement of all time is beating Dick in a pool game without touching his own cue: Dick started with the break and went on a run, i.e. hit in every single ball on a single turn. On the final ball, the black eight-ball, Dick hit the ball into a pocket different than the one he called, and Andy won.

At Align Health & Wellness, we are very passionate about treating your little ones and making sure your kids are set up with the best possible start to life through pediatric chiropractic care. We find that many subluxations patterns (disruptions in the spinal alignment) start in-utero – and most from the birth process. When a baby is growing in the mother for 9 months, he/she tends to develop a position that they favor (every mom knows where their babies were).
Then there is the birth process. It is the most traumatic thing that humans go through, it's a good thing that we don't remember it. An ever bigger problem is that there are many more interventions being used with delivery. On average, a baby experiences 80 pounds of pressure when being pulled by their head as they are delivering! Just think – if someone were to grab your newborn baby two days after they were born by the head and pull them, you would be pretty upset – and that's not something to leave unchecked. A recent medical study found that greater than 80% of newborns have a C1 subluxation. We believe that getting children checked by a chiropractor at birth is vital for proper nervous system functioning throughout life.
The majority of a child's brain is developed in the first three years of life, so it is important that we support the system that aids in brain growth and development. In fact, many of the children and families that come to see us do not have pain or any complaints. They visit Align to help PREVENT colds, ear infections, ADHD, etc. by maintaining their health through regular chiropractic care. It is a lot easier, cheaper and less time consuming to prevent issues/complaints than to treat them. If you have a newborn, toddler or older children that you would like to get checked, please contact us or give us a call!
