Bobby Hughes is back with his second album. Three years has gone since his successful album debut Fusa Riot, and during his three years absence Bobby Hughes both has changed his bandname and record label (and done side projects). Bobby Hughes Combination continues their journey into funky retrobased clubjazz, and brings the musical concept from The Bobby Hughes Experience three years old album further on.
Bobby Hughes is Espen Horne, a successful DJ and producer living in Bergen on the west coast of Norway. With the album Nhu Golden Era he has together with his A-team of norwegian jazz musicians (to name a few; Marius Reksjø, Jørgen Munkeby of Jaga Jazzist, Erik Holm etc.) made another jazzy, playful and funky album with a nordic touch. The melodies are based by samples, mostly from scandinavian jazz records from the seventies (the "old" golden era?), but you can also hear inspiration from jazzlabels like the german MPS. He takes those influences and runs in a whole new direction - not content to simply ape the sound of his heroes, but move boldly forward with their inspiration, into an unfolding array of funky fresh tracks! The sound is presented with Espen's tight programming and quality production and its clear that a lot of love has gone into the creation of this record. Samples and loops are definitely funky, and the whole LP has a high feelgood factor. Fans of the double bass and spine tingling vocal will not be disappointed. Just check the stand out track "Kerma Elastica" with vocals by the great Norwegian jazz-singer Karin Krogh. This is also the first single from the record, and given the heavy rotation in clubs around Europe there is no doubt that Bobby Hughes knows the dancefloor formula.

I woke up early in the morning but having only slept for a couple of hours I was very tired. During the night I wore OBA which helped to relieve the pains but for some reason it made muscle spasms worse. Quite often, my arms, legs and head were shaking and muscles around the jaw were moving constantly. That morning, I had to go into town to get a CT and Xray done at medical centre specializing in scans and my parents came with me. It seemed that the clinic have been dealing with the medical centre for a while as they knew exactly what to do without me having to explain everything. The Xray were taken on the face, neck and torso, once without OBA and then another with OBA. It was same for CT scans. It did take a while as they took at several angles and as tired and irritated as I was I had to lie down in the waiting area on the chairs. After 20 minutes, they gave us a CD with Xray and Scan photos and told us to give it to the receptionist at FCST clinic.
We arrived back at the clinic around 11 a.m. and I saw some doctors in the treatment room who were participating in FCST professional course run by Dr Lee himself. I was invited into the room and Dr Lee showed me the Xray and CT scans from his computer. He explained that my cervical vertebrae (the top of the spine) was distorted which could be clearly seen, my neck seemed to be tilted to the left compared to the normal spine. The CT scan also showed that the Atlas (the first vertebra) was tilted to the left. It was very useful to see distortion of the spine from different angles.
Then he proceeded with the first treatment of the day but after the first CBA (custom made intraoral appliance) I suddenly had a non epileptic seizure, causing uncontrollable shaking of the whole body which made it impossible to sit down. The nurses helped me to one of the beds where I lied down and continued shaking. The level of anxiety was at peak, probably the highest I have ever felt; it was more like a panic attack. After 10 minutes I stopped shaking but I was still nervous, hyper tensed and exhausted. It was impossible to get further treatments that day. We went to a nearby emergency unit to see if there was anything to reduce the anxiety. The doctor suggested taking sleeping pills to get some sleep but I was afraid that I might never wake up (might sound quite drastic but I'm sure people suffering from anxiety issues will understand how I felt then) so I refused. I had drips put in for nutritional supplement as I was not eating very well that week and after I calmed down my mother managed to convince me to take some sleeping pills. Thanks to the pills I managed to get some sleep during the day and felt a lot better by the evening. Dinner was my first meal of the day (which my mother kindly prepared for me) and after that I had herbal medicine provided by the clinic. It did not taste very nice unfortunately but I followed the instructions from Dr Lee. During the night I tried to sleep again but found it quite difficult because of the persistent muscle movements (not the shaking, just the sensations) and I was still quite panicky.

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trumps longtime confidant, Roger Stone, asked a federal judge Friday to compel the Justice Department to turn over a full copy of special counsel Robert Muellers report on the Russia investigation as part of discovery in his criminal case.
Stone has pleaded not guilty to charges he lied to Congress, engaged in witness tampering and obstructed a congressional investigation into possible coordination between Russia and Donald Trumps 2016 presidential campaign. In a court filing late Friday night, his lawyers said Stone is entitled to see the confidential report, which was submitted to the attorney general late last month, because it would help prove their allegation that there are constitutional issues with the investigation.
In a separate action, Andrew Miller, a former aide to Stone who was subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, asked a federal appeals court to determine whether he still needs to testify now that the Russia probe has concluded.
Stones team also filed motions Friday night arguing he was selectively prosecuted, challenging the constitutionality of Muellers appointment and that the special counsel didnt have the ability to prosecute him for lying to Congress. They allege that Congress did not formally make a referral to the Justice Department about Stones testimony and because of that, Muellers investigation was a violation of the separation of powers.
In court documents, the lawyers argue they are entitled to a private disclosure of the nearly 400-page report that Mueller submitted to Attorney General William Barr late last month and said they must be allowed to review the report in its entirety because it contains the governments evidence and conclusions on matters essential to Stones defense.
To be clear, Stone is not requesting the report be disclosed to the world, only to his counsel so that it may aid in preparing his defense, the lawyers wrote.
Stone, who is set to go on trial in November, has maintained his innocence and blasted the special counsels investigation as politically motivated. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which stem from conversations he had during the campaign about WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy group that released material stolen from Democratic groups, including Hillary Clintons campaign.
In a four-page letter to Congress that detailed Muellers principal conclusions, Barr said the special counsel did not find a criminal conspiracy between Russia and Trump associates during the campaign, but did not reach a definitive conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Instead, Mueller presented evidence on both sides of the obstruction question, but Barr said he did not believe the evidence was sufficient to prove that Trump had obstructed justice.
Barr has said he expects to release a redacted version of Muellers report next week that will be sent to Congress and made public.

Hession triumphs
No slip-up in the rain from the sprinter as he sets his second-fastest 200m time on Irish soil with stunning performance
Tom O'Riordan
July 11 2010, 1:01am, The Sunday Times
PAUL HESSION gave a spectatular performance when he won another 200m title at the Irish Athletics Championships at Santry Stadium yesterday.
The Galwayman was a class apart as he came storming down the finishing straight to win in 20.77secs, the second fastest time he has run on Irish soil and an excellent effort on a rain-soaked track.
"I did not have a great start but my bend was good and I felt very strong on the straight," said Hession, who now turns his attentions to the European Championships in Barcelona in three weeks.
"I have made many sacrifices to try and win a medal in the Europeans and so far everything has gone according to plan. I have put my life on hold to achieve…


Best Accessory Tack Shopping Experience to Date.
Una here, stealing the thunder from Fritz for a few to tell you about the best accessory tack shopping experience I have ever had. I messaged Colorado Tack & Supply Co. on Facebook to see what type of brown & creme items they had in stock (fly bonnet, polos and dressage saddle pads). Since we already discussed my change in tack color due to the GORGEOUS brown saddle & bridle I am getting from Equipe Central USA, I obviously had to get matching ancillary tack to go with it.
After a few minutes, they responded with photos of all the options they had in stock (and included prices for each). Then when I decided which options I liked the best – they grouped them together for a photo so I could see the WHOLE THING TOGETHER!!! And well, it was so pretty I couldn't help but literally say; "Shut up and take my money". They even went the extra mile to measure the ears on the fly bonnet to ensure they would fit Fritz's larger than average noodle. So they invoiced me and are holding it all for me to pickup this weekend.
Their prices are very fair, the service is truly bar-none, and they have indeed earned a customer for life. Also, keep in mind they take on tack consignments if you need to sell something. If you are looking for some new (or used) tack, be sure to give Colorado Tack & Supply Co. a shot!

Today, as widely reported on the BBC and elsewhere, King Digital Entertainment, makers of the brilliant and addictive Candy Crush Saga video game, is due to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange, with an estimated market value for the company of around $7billion. But can video games be put to a "higher" purpose than making money and crushing time? Thinking along these lines are charity Cancer Research UK, researchers at Essex University, and Belgian SME Fishing Cactus. They have all been looking at using video games to improve people's health and wellbeing.
CRUK has created a free smart phone game "Play to Cure: Genes in Space" that has helped the charity's scientists analyse gene sequence data. This is a novel way of utilising crowd-gaming to help discover cancer-causing gene faults, and support efforts to develop better diagnostics and treatments. It also helps to plug the increasingly large gap in charity finances in an age of austerity, which has made funding research directly increasingly difficult.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail reports recently that Nintendo's best-selling Wii Fit game has successfully been used by researchers at the School of Biological Sciences at Essex University. The scientists claim the sports simulation game can help older people stay on their feet, as it improves balance and co-ordination, which is especially important in those prone to falling. Given that recurrent fallers are reported to cost the NHS nearly £1.7billion a year in hospital admissions and long-term care costs, there significant potential to make big savings from something as simple, and non-invasive, as encouraging older people to play video games.
In Belgium, Fishing Cactus has produced a Microsoft Kinect prototype called "R.O.G.E.R" which it terms a "therapeutic serious game". The company worked closely with two neuro-psychologists at the Hôpital Erasme in Brussels to develop this video game designed to help assess cognitive deficiencies in patients. In the game, which features a full 3d virtual world, players (patients) have to pack a piece of luggage with a list of pre-determined belongings, whilst being precisely observed by a clinician. The EU is providing serious backing, to the tune of Euro 5.65m, for such "serious games", through its Network of Excellence on Serious Games called GaLa – the Games and Learning Alliance.
Also making good use of the fun, widely available and accessible nature of video games, US researchers have shown that playing a 15-minute stroke-education video game "Stroke Hero" appeared to help a group of New York City school kids to identify stroke symptoms, and to call emergency services if they saw someone having a stroke, as sometimes young children are the first to witness a stroke, perhaps of a grandparent.
So next time you're tempted to have "just one more go" on Candy Crush, consider how you could be having fun with a different game, and helping the world stay healthy at the same time.

Deluge – Aether
Rarely has a band been so appropriately named, instantaneously bursting into a tremolo fury of post-hardcore and black metal that can only accurately be defined as a deluge. Within the first few seconds of the opening track, "Avalanche," which is just as rightfully titled, it's fairly certain what one can expect from Aether. A few moments of brief respite develop as the storm lessens, and some notes linger in the air to reflect on what, exactly, just happened before the next downpour begins. It's this formula that defines the whole album—one that is just as quickly exciting as it is exhausting.
Deluge is a sudden downpour of rain and, as stated, the title fits quite well. All throughout the album, rainstorm field recordings are often used to create atmosphere. In one word, Deluge can also be described as intense; rarely does it hold back, and when it does, it's only to allow some space to breathe. Their sense of melody is often quite separate from more aggressive passages, simply allowing a few notes to fall with the rain before the screaming begins once again and the music falls back into the constant outpour that simply leaves the listener fatigued.
Neige of Alcest fame quests on one track, but this is nothing more than a chanting performance in the background, which was admittedly quite disappointing as I was hoping for some of the old screams that are missing on later Alcest to make an appearance. The beautiful cover work is worth noting: a stylized rendition of ocean waves, of course, that—just like the band name and first title track—accurately describe the music contained within.
Overall, Aether is enjoyable, but it lacks "staying power." After a short while, it's just another guy screaming at you in a monotonous tone with few dynamics and a lack of variance that would ultimately really help the album stand out in the crowd of other strongly hardcore-influenced albums.
At moments, when the rain lets up, the guitars create an atmosphere that gives the album just enough diversity to be interesting, however. It's nothing astonishingly beautiful, but it is a break from what seems to be a constant stylistic choice that has, honestly, already been mimicked by countless others despite being described as a "post-" genre.
Still, Deluge is a band whose dynamics likely kick in more through a live setting rather than the flat space of an audio recording. I can feel this when a track like "Naufrage" kicks in. I can't help but feel excited because the energy in the band itself comes through. Yet, at the moments when I am starting to get weary of Aether, something else happens that demands my attention. It's that incessant attention division that is the album's biggest downfall. Perhaps if the vocalist had a bit more to offer—some clean vocals or vocals that adequately fit the black metal sound they are searching for—Aether would hold more interest.
The longest song, the instrumental "Klartraümer," reaches beyond the nine-minute mark, which is much longer than most of the tracks on the album. The piano pieces used here are nice, and it feels like this and the next track stand apart with these elements that are not as pronounced in other songs. The more ambient and atmospheric aspects are a nice break from the first half of the album, but it's essentially a case of "too little, too late." If you are a fan of something like Cult of Luna but also crave the speed and ferocity of Converge, then Aether is likely to strike a great chord with you. With some meatier riffs to hook you in and more variation on the vocal approach, Deluge could easily be a recognizable name in the years to come. For now though, I'm going back inside and finding some shelter; it's only fun getting soaked in the waters of Aether for the first few moments.

I am preparing for USMLE Step 2 CK now. There are so many materials out there for step 2 ck. But the trick is to stick to one source. Most people that I know uses Masters the boards 2 and 3 combined and USMLE World to prepare for the step 2 exam.
I kind of started reading Masters the Boards but I gave up since I hate dealing with multiple resources. It's a headache to read two books at the same time. I liked the concept of first aid for step 1. So I was thinking of a resource that will guarantee me a 240+ on step 2 ck and I wanted to stick to that.
And the best resource that is out there is the gold standard kaplan lecture notes. So I started reading the lectures notes and I must say they are pretty good but consumes so much time. But the good thing is you get used to them as you continue to read them. This is why I liked them. And if you recall from Step 1 experience with first aid and usmle world.
I am sure you know you had to write so much notes on first aid because it was missing a lot of information from usmle world.
The good thing about kaplan lectures for usmle step 2 ck is that it has almost all the information from from usmle world, so you don't need to take any notes. All I do is circle and highlight what was asked on the question stem and read both the usmle world explanation and the kaplan lectures section.
And with that since I just recently started I am scoring almost 65 to 75% on usmle world blocks. And I am really happy with this as this is my first time going through usmle world.
I will say if you are like and don't like dealing with multiple resources use kaplan lectures for step 2 ck. Remember, you can never go wrong with kaplan lectures notes. They are guaranteed to get you a very high score.
Don't worry about material size. Trust me you only need to read them maximum three times and you are all set. My target is to study for 6 months and take the exam. And believe me I am a very slow reader.
I will keep you guys updated with my progress.

SEC Partners DFID, FCA To Develop Nigeria's Fintech Industry
Fintech	 1663 VIEWS
Wednesday, February 12, 2020/ 11:00AM / By SEC / Header Image Credit: @SECNigeria
The Department for International Development, DFID, Financial Conduct Authority, FCA and the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, have agreed to collaborate to develop the Fintech space in Nigeria.
Speaking when she received officials of both organizations in Abuja weekend, Acting Director-General of SEC, Ms. Mary Uduk said the SEC was enthusiastic about the collaboration as it would encourage responsible use of new technologies and digital finance in the capital market, influence increased international participation & cooperation, and also provide investors with more choices in the Nigerian Capital Market.
She said the SEC is looking to adopt regulatory and supervisory practices for orderly development and stability of Fintech, as the Commission will pay close attention to sustaining confidence and safeguarding the integrity of the market.
"In this way, our policies will facilitate the safe entry of new products, activities and intermediaries. Besides, we will ensure that regulation does not stand in the way of innovation".
She said While it is clear that FinTech has already made huge inroads into many aspects of the financial industry, what is perhaps even clearer is that the surface has barely been scratched in relation to what FinTech can do for us in the future.
According to her, "The awareness of customers that their data might be prone to cyber-attacks could make them lose trust in digital channels until strong consumer protection frameworks are in place. These frameworks for digital financial services will be critical in building confidence for consumers.
"We have come up with ways to monitor the risks that may come up. It's like a sandbox, but not an enclave. We are building the capacity to train young people that would be able to drive the process.
"We hope that this year will be a turning point. We are trying to gather as much information as we can to be able to contextualize and synthesize regulation in Nigeria
"Young people are beginning to get interested in investment and they are doing this via Fintech, and that is why we are doing all that we can to develop rules around it so that the risk will be mitigated and it will further develop the market.
In his remarks, Senior Adviser, UK DFID, Mr. Richard Sandall, said DFID and FCA have a partnership to support FCA to step into new jurisdictions to deliver DFID objectives in certain areas.
He said, "We are in Nigeria to look at the FinTech environment, regulatory environment and see if there are ways the Fintech environment can be built.
"We are very interested in the impacts that Fintech in Nigeria would have in the UK. We know that Nigeria has FinTech, and the FCA has already established international networks.
He said the agreement with FCA is for up to two years and during that time modalities would be put in place to work with regulators, and that is why they have come to the SEC.
"We know the SEC has the enthusiasm for Fintech and we want to help develop it as much as we can," Sandall added.
Also speaking, Nigeria Lead, FCA, Mr. Parma Bains, said they have done some work with the SEC in the past and are very comfortable working with the Commission.
Brains expressed appreciation to the SEC for the opportunity to collaborate and expressed the belief that it is the beginning of many collaborative relationships that will span for the next two years of the project.
"We are available to provide collaboration and assistance in the area of Fintech, and we are also open to learn how you regulate the market and some other roles you perform," Bains added.
On her part, Technical Specialist, FCA Barr Alicia Kedzierski said she was impressed by the depth your research has taken, the fact that you have gone to various jurisdictions to try to find out what is happening is a good step.
"SEC Nigeria is the first regulator that we have seen that looks into the millennial and the risks that could lead to long term issues.
"There has to be balance, regulation as well as ensure that they are not closed out," she said.
The idea behind the UK-Africa Fintech partnership is to connect African entrepreneurs with British fintech investors and business mentors to access the finance and advice needed to start and grow their companies. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will work with its regulatory counterparts in Africa. A dedicated fund worth up to £2m will support Nigerian start-ups.

Allāh ﷻ doesn't like stinginess and the Prophet ﷺ said that the most stingy one is the one who doesn't even give Salāms. Allāh ﷻ is most Generous, keep asking from Him ﷻ. Give Salāms and make du'ā'.
The few grey hairs that the Prophet ﷺ had came from Sūratu l-Hūd (11:112), "Be on the straight way, you and those with you." This is the order for all the Ummah until Qiyāmah. If you leave this you lose both the way and the target. Istiqāmah is enough for you. Be careful of those who promise another way.


I'll never forget my mother's voice telling me, "be still." I heard it, so it seemed, constantly. In the store, in the car, at the house – even at times when I was being still. It was as though she wanted me always to remember stillness is a most-important goal.
In the workplace, it is difficult to find that stillness. People going to and fro to make the most of each moment. Citizens to serve. Stress from deadlines. Anxiety from budgets.
Just as Elijah encountered God in the least expected form – in the still small voice – you must find a way to encounter His peace.
At work today, find that stillness.
After all, God can do more in one quiet moment than you can in a lifetime of work.
Wonderful Savior, thank You in advance for this workday. It is a blessing. Before I do anything today, I want to find a quiet moment with You. I realize I cannot do things alone. I need Your direction and guidance. I place my trust in You today. I dedicate this workday to Your service. In Your name, I pray. Amen.

Andy Biggs Is Running For House Speaker Against Kevin McCarthy
Biggs, an Arizona Republican who helped organize the rally that preceded the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, blasted McCarthy as the "establishment" pick.
Liz Skalka
Politics Reporter, HuffPost
Dec 6, 2022, 01:50 PM EST | Updated Dec 6, 2022
Far-right Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) announced Tuesday that he is challenging House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for House speaker, arguing in an op-ed that Republicans need to ditch "the establishment" as they retake power in the chamber.
"People are thrilled that Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reign of Leftist extremism is ending. The question is whether we will be treated to the status quo that will move us along the same path, though perhaps more slowly," Biggs wrote in a piece for the right-wing Daily Caller. "Will we elect an establishment Republican as the speaker — think [former House Speaker] Paul Ryan, or in this case, Ryan's right-hand man, Kevin McCarthy."
Biggs, the former leader of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, has virtually no shot at becoming speaker. But hard-liners still need an instigator, and Biggs risks creating a big mess for Republicans in the new Congress if he manages to peel away more than four votes from McCarthy. Biggs argued in his piece that the "conservative movement" has a rare opportunity to "change the direction of the nation" with the election of a new House speaker who isn't McCarthy.
"We actually have the opportunity to dislodge the establishment and reinvigorate the America First movement that was founded by former President Donald Trump," Biggs wrote. "Yes, that Donald Trump."
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) announced he is challenging House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for House speaker, having previously said he wouldn't support McCarthy to lead Republicans.
Biggs is one of five Republican defectors opposing McCarthy's bid for the gavel, including Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Bob Good (R-Va.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.). McCarthy needs 218 votes from a slim House majority to become speaker.
As House minority leader, McCarthy has carefully wooed the right in the hopes of one day leading fractious House Republicans — and it's paid off, mostly. His influential backers include Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), as well as conservative radio host Mark Levin and former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. But the five holdouts could still make life challenging for Republicans during the floor vote for speaker next month.
Biggs and several of his far-right colleagues helped organize the Jan. 6, 2021, "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol. It was later revealed during the House's Jan. 6 committee hearings that Biggs was among the lawmakers who asked Trump for a preemptive pardon following the attack.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R) testified at the hearings that Biggs was among those who pressured him to decertify Arizona's 2020 presidential results.

I've been doing a lot of research into the history of Gin lately, and found an enormous amount of inconsistencies. Common consensus seems to be that, loosely speaking, Gin was first created by Franciscus Sylvius in 1650 (remember this date). This was thought to have been for purely medicial reasons, with Juniper being noted as an effective diuretic, used to treat liver cirrhosis and kidney failure (although with apparently little attention paid to the counter-productive effects of the alcohol it was steeped in).
As Fransicus was a Dutchman, it is perhaps not surprising that the first historical records are entwined with Dutch military history, and we are told that the phrase 'Dutch Courage' comes from our (British) soldiers witnessing the Dutch knocking back this medicinal alcohol before going into battle.
All seems well so far, until we stumble across this little gem: Wikipedia tells us that the British first noted the Dutch soldiers imbibing the precursor to Gin (or Genever, as it was then known) during the Thirty Years War. The trouble here is that the Thirty Years Was was fought (primarily in what is know Germany) from 1618 to 1638. So, unless Franciscus also invented the time-machine, this is clearly impossible.
Another take on Gin history tells us that the first British exposure to the spirit came during the Eighty Years War, otherwise known as The Dutch War of Independence. Sadly, this solves nothing, since the dates of that particular skirmish are given as 1568-1648.
So we are left with a dilemma: it is simply not possible that our first encounter with Gin predates its invention.
The answer, naturally, comes from the inaccuracies which we should expect from a source such as Wikipedia, but for some reason tend to over look. The clever folk over at gintime have put together a far more plausible account of the evolution of the spirit, which, if you are interested, I would suggest you read. But remember, there's a lesson in here: don't believe everything you read on Wikipedia.


Almost half of the world's diamond reserves, according to Alrosa, are concentrated in Africa.
Alrosa, the largest diamond producer in the world, will develop new mineral deposits in Zimbabwe. To do this, Alrosa (Zimbabwe) Limited was founded in the capital of the republic, Harare, said the general director of Alrosa, Sergei Ivanov, on Monday, January 14, following a meeting with President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Mnangagva.
The subsidiary Alrosa will explore, search for and extract minerals with the prospect of creating joint diamond-mining and other mining enterprises. "Alrosa" is ready both to develop joint projects for the exploration and mining of diamonds in Zimbabwe, and to support the country in the development of its own diamond mining industry, the press service of the word Ivanova reports. Investments and activities of the company in Zimbabwe will be determined by the results of the preliminary work of the specialists of Alrosa, who will arrive in the country in February, the company representative explained.
Risks in Africa are higher than in Russia, said Oleg Petropavlovsky, a senior analyst at BCS Global Markets: "But in the long term, deposits around the world will continue to deplete, so the search for new facilities is justified." According to his estimates, Alrosa's exploration expenses in Zimbabwe in the near future will not exceed several tens of millions of dollars. Expected in 2018, the volume of capital expenditures is 28.3 billion rubles. (about $ 422 million), so a little more than 2% of total investment may be spent on geological exploration of new facilities in Zimbabwe.
Back in 2012, "Alrosa" developed the "Development Strategy for Projects in Africa" and it corresponds to the new development strategy of the company until 2024, adopted in 2018, says a representative of "Alrosa". The company is interested in increasing its presence in African countries, in the search and implementation of geological exploration projects and the creation of new diamond mining companies on the continent, he explains.
"Given the growth of the middle class and, accordingly, the consumption of diamond jewelry in emerging markets, in the near future we can expect an increase in the volume of African diamonds in the global market. Under these conditions, it is necessary to establish mutually beneficial cooperation between African countries and foreign partners, "the representative of the diamond company concluded.


Medicare is health insurance for American citizens who have reached their 65th birthdays. It may also cover some people before the age of 65 if they have qualifying medical conditions. The third group contains those who are receiving dialysis for kidney failure or are in need of a kidney transplant.
One Medigap plan is Medigap Plan N. Medicare Part A is the portion of a Medicare recipients' health benefits that pays for hospitalizations. However, Medicare Part A charges Medicare recipients a co-insurance amount. Under Plan N, the co-insurance amount that patients are responsible for paying is covered. Also, Medicare Part A does not pay for hospitalizations forever. If a patient needs to remain in a hospital for more than a year, Plan N will pay for up to an additional 365 days.
Plan N also pays when people need to enter into hospice or a skilled nursing facility. However, these facilities also charge patients a co-payment or a co-insurance amount. Supplemental Plan N pays the entire cost of the co-payment or co-insurance in these cases.
Health insurance plans often require that people pay a deductible, and this applies to Medicare as well. For hospital stays, people will need to pay a $1,184 deductible for Medicare Part A. However, Supplemental Plan N will pay 100 percent of this amount for Medicare recipients. Medicare Part B also has a deductible, but it will not be covered by Medicare Supplement Plan N. The deductible for Medicare Part B will only be $147 for the year.
Under Medicare Part B, patients may be charged what are known as "excess charges." These charges are the sole responsibility of the patient, and this remains the case when people have Supplemental Plan N as their Medigap coverage. However, Plan N does cover Medicare Part B co-insurance and co-payment charges, but there are a few exceptions. Some office visits are exempt from payment by Medicare Part B, and patients may need to pay a maximum $20 co-payment. If patients are seen in the emergency room but are not admitted, they will be required to pay a maximum $50 co-payment.
When traveling outside of the country, people can become ill or suffer an injury that will require emergent care. If this is the case, Medicare Supplement Plan N will provide coverage for emergency services according to the limits of the policy.
Who Can Purchase Medicare Supplement Plan N?
In order to purchase a plan N, Medicare recipients must have Medicare Parts A and B, also known as Original Medicare. Those who have chosen Medicare Advantage will not be able to add a Medigap plan to their health coverage, as by law you can only have one of the plans. If those on a Medicare Advantage Plan return to Original Medicare, they will be able to purchase Plan N.
Different insurance companies sell Medicare Supplement Plan N, so Medicare recipients will want to obtain quotes from different companies in order to find the best price. An extremely important thing to remember is the fact that companies offering Medicare Supplement policies all have identical coverage within each plan letter. Their premiums however, are all entirely different. This means if you fail to shop around you could end up paying a much larger premium for the exact same coverage depending on the company you choose. There is no cost to get expert help from one of our advisors and it saves a tremendous amount of work on your part as we shop all of the top companies in minutes to make sure you get the lowest premiums.
Not all insurance companies sell Medicare Plan N policies, so enter your zip code at the top of this page to see which companies have this plan available.

A Tool at your Fingertips to Access Fast & Accurate Live Data for Managing Club Operations
By Bill Wagner
As a private club executive, have you dream of having a quick state-of-the-club overview at your fingertips? Remember when you needed to answer a board members' question about operations, and you would have to interrupt the accounting office to create special reports that could take weeks? Well, now you and your department heads can access live departmental data to help manage the club directly from your laptops and tablets.
As a longtime Club GM, some of my most vivid, nightmarish, memories are of the confusion and pressure that precedes "THE BOARD MEETING". The administration office is trying to get the committee minutes from the department heads, the financial statements, the GM's report, the President's report, the minutes from last month, the CFO's report, the list of items to approve, new business, old business. etc., etc., etc. All of this data must be squeezed into a giant three-ring binder called the "THE BOARD BOOK" and all of the before-mentioned items must be correctly ordered and match the AGENDA.
How would you like to have an integrated system that electronically organizes all the information contained in the old three-ring binder? Each board member would get a tablet that has the Agenda and all the pertinent information (kept for a year or more if desired). This system would be flexible to accommodate all the typical club quirks. The system could expand into the individual committees as well as the Board Meeting. Well, Northstar has done it. It is called BOARD BOOK and it is available with CLUBVIEW.
ClubView does not stop with Board Books but covers many aspects of the club operations. You can access a member's profile in the Member section, while the Just Arrived section will give you information about which member is currently at the club. Red Book lists all the events in the club including an instant Banquet Event Order system (so no more running about with outdated paper BEO's). Got you interested? Wait there is more – I have not even mentioned the Leads Pipeline, the Metrics, the Milestones, the POS, or Kitchen Display System. See the attached video for a quick overview on ClubView or better yet see the video and then sign up for the Northstar Solutions Café Webinar on Improving Club Operations & Decision Making with ClubView on Wednesday, May 15th, 2019.

There are many reasons to enable encryption on your webserver and since Let's Encrypt openend its public beta, there are no more excuses to not use ssl. Besides the official scripts, programs and webpage, there is also already a Perl module Crypt::LE available which uses the Lets Encrypt API and makes requesting and renewing certificates super easy and most important… scriptable.
We are assuming the following scenario with an apache configured for the domain example.com serving content from the folder /var/www.
We first need to install the Crypt::LE perl module from cpan. Because we do not want to install modules from cpan into the system folders, we use cpanm together with local::lib.
This will create a perl5 folder in our home directory with all required perl modules.
Last step for preparation is to clone the script itself.
This will issue a certificate using the Lets Encrypt staging server which is not accepted by normal browsers but allows you to test the verfication steps.
The staging server does not have rate limits, so you can issue as many certificates as you like. The production api is limited to a certain requests per week.
You could add this as montly cronjob, because the certificates only lasts for 3 months.
Update: Use the SSL Config Generator from Mozilla for a always up to date best practice webserver configuration.

Downing Street has confirmed that the meaningful vote won't be held this side of Christmas – upping the chances of no deal or an Article 50 extension.
Happy Christmas (War Is Deferred). In a move that will surprise few but exasperate many more, Downing Street has confirmed that the meaningful vote on Theresa May's Brexit deal will not take place this side of the festive period.
That MPs would not get to pass judgement on the deal until January at the earliest has been obvious since the Prime Minister pulled the vote on Monday. Since then May has stressed a deadline of 21 January, while this morning Andrea Leadsom, the leader of the Commons, revealed next week's parliamentary business – with no meaningful vote in sight. Its delay until 2019 was confirmed by a spokesperson for May this afternoon.
The Times reported this morning that several Remain-leaning cabinet ministers – namely Philip Hammond, Amber Rudd, David Lidington, Greg Clark and Amber Rudd – had been pushing for May to put the withdrawal agreement before the Commons as early as next week before holding a series of non-binding votes on alternative solutions.
The Prime Minister's fruitless attempts to wring a compromise on the backstop from Brussels – and promise to win back the DUP before seeking parliamentary approval for her deal – have made that impossible and a delay inevitable. Not only will that disappoint her cabinet: it also denies Conservative rebels and the Labour leader the moment of catharsis many in government suspect will be necessary before any solution to the impasse might be brokered. The fact that the Prime Minister has not been able to extract anything resembling compromise from Brussels in time to hold a vote before Christmas also augurs badly.
And in the more likely event that she does not, instead triggering the messy confrontation she has deferred, then two options remain: extending Article 50, or leaving by default without a deal.

The appeal of gangster films and Trump
DEGENERATEON
Posted: 09 October 2019 10:41
I love gangster movies - the godfather, casino, goodfellas, carlito's way, etc. What is it that makes these movies so great? The rules of the street, the dark humor, the tribalism, the glamour of organized crime? Hard to pin it on any one thing, but I think for me the humor is the most appealing thing. At least with the Scorscese films. Anyway, I was thinking about this in relation to Trump. I believe that part of his appeal is the same. It's his politically incorrect talk - his statements may be offensive and in many cases very childish but are often hilarious. His nicknames for his opposition, his "mob boss" behavior in many situations - he's not going to take any shit.
I understand that this isn't a movie, it's serious. But at the same time, does anyone else see this appeal? Not that it appeals to you personally, just that you recognize that this could be appealing to a large base?

DEGENERATEON - 09 October 2019 10:41 AM
People want to feel in control, or at least that there really is someone in control. A really strong desire to feel in control can become a handicap, due to all the shit that one can feel a need to control. Ain't psychobabble grand? At least we can feel we understand the appeal; the next step, of course, is controlling it.
INVEST in cynicism!
Trump is currently starring in a gangster film entitled "Right Now". It promises to do better than the 3 soft porn films he appeared in, which were basically flops (oops!). So far almost 8 billion people are seeing it.
Traces Elk - 09 October 2019 11:36 AM
I've been watching the Netflix series "Mindhunter". A common theme of the serial killers is a really strong desire to feel in control - so yes I can see how that can be a handicap.
EN - 09 October 2019 12:25 PM
Sounds like a blockbuster - that's a lot of asses in seats.
TheAnal_lyticPhilosopher
I think I see what you are driving at, but I don't think it has as much to do with humor as with authenticity. As John Stewart put it, Trump was the first openly asshole Presidential candidate, and I think that brazen, fuck-the-establishment, take-no-prisoners, completely un-contrived self-image got him elected. In a detached way even I found it refreshing, even as I realized it really was an asshole coming across; but at least it didn't insult my intelligence (can you even imagine Trump faking a southern accent to appeal to a South Carolina audience?). Anyway, Trump never polished himself to make himself appealing, like virtually all politicians do, and to a demographic that felt denigrated (implicitly, at least) and left behind by the dominant culture and their own party, that was a godsend. Granted they wrongly believed he actually cared about them, like he said he did, but he had the authenticity to create the illusion that he really did. Alas for these illusions, but what politician, I ask, isn't elected on one—at least to some extent?
[ Edited: 09 October 2019 19:04 by TheAnal_lyticPhilosopher]
TheAnal_lyticPhilosopher - 09 October 2019 07:01 PM
Yes it's all of these things, I just think the humor follows from his actions. Its the "I can shoot someone on 5th avenue and people would still love me!"or "we got a problem on the border, we're gonna build a giant goddamn wall".
I also agree with the authenticity. If it is an illusion, it was an illusion that differed from the same ones we've seen over and over. So it was fresh even though almost no one thought it could actually work.
DEGENERATEON - 09 October 2019 08:32 PM
To your point of humor, Trump's lies in a way are funny. Not comedy-funny per se, but as you suggest, childish. They are so transparent and so unsophisticated and so self-evidently false that detached from the consequences of the President doing it and relishing only in the comic effect of a President doing it, it's funny, almost a parody of a real President. I mean, who lies like that?! No politician I know. They are devious, clever; they know what the truth is and willfully misdirect the listener away from it. Trump doesn't do this so much as deny that truth bears any relation to conversation, so in effect he just makes things up, things that are transparently not true. This imbecility is comic, in its own way….
And there is the factor of reality imitating art. Gangsters imitate the movies, other politicians try to imitate Trump (that's not something they can pull off, Trump's unique, but they sure imitated Reagan), business leaders imitate whoever is president, and so on. About 10 years ago I saw a news clip that said tech entrepreneur in Korea were dressing like Bill Gates. Cargo Cult phenomenon.

Cat urine is produced by the kidneys and has several important functions. It carries waste out of the body so that toxins, like ammonia, don't accumulate in the blood, and it also helps regulate the body's pH.
The pH of cat urine measures the acidity level and is an indication of urinary tract and overall health. It is influenced by a cat's diet and can even change while urine is stored in the bladder. Because cats are so vulnerable to changes in pH, testing and understanding what cat urine pH levels mean will help you gain a better understanding of your cat's health.
There are several methods for collecting cat urine for pH testing. For example, the 'free catch' method collects urine during natural urination. This method can be tricky, though, because cats squat low in their cat litter boxes and may stop urinating during a collection attempt.
As a solution, you can use non-absorbent cat litter. You could use Tidy Cats Breeze litter pellets with the Tidy Cats Breeze litter box system without putting the pad in the bottom tray to collect urine. After your cat urinates, collect the urine by pouring the urine out of the kitty litter box.
Other methods must be performed by a veterinarian. These methods include manual bladder compression, catheterization (threading a tube into the bladder through the urethra) and cystocentesis (withdrawing urine directly from the bladder with a needle).
Regardless of the method, the urine's pH should be tested immediately. Cat urine that has been sitting for a long time can accumulate ammonia, which can artificially increase the pH.
The pH of cat urine is typically tested using a urine reagent strip, also known as a dipstick. If you are collecting the urine at home, you can use strips like the Solid Gold pH test strips, or you can have your veterinarian collect the sample at the vet's office.
The normal pH range of cat urine is approximately 6.0 to 6.5. Various cat diseases can lower or raise the urine pH.
Kidney disease in cats, particularly chronic kidney disease, can lower the pH. Diabetic cats, especially those with uncontrolled diabetes, can have a low urine pH because of a buildup of substances called ketoacids. Chronic diarrhea can also lower a cat's urine pH.
A low urine pH in cats can increases the likelihood of calcium oxalate stone formation in the bladder. These stones cannot be dissolved through diet, so they must be removed in other ways. For example, the stones can be removed surgically. Small stones can be removed by a process called voiding hydropropulsion, which pushes the stones through the urethra and out of the body.
Cat urinary tract infections are the most frequent cause of increased urine pH values in cats; the bacteria that's causing the infection can increase the urine pH. Thyroid problems in cats can also cause high urine pH values. For example, cats are especially susceptible to developing hyperthyroidism, which is caused by an overactive thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism in cats can increase the urine pH.
Elevated urine pH levels in cats can increase the risk of struvite stone formation in the bladder. The stones can be dissolved through diet, but this can take up to six weeks. Other treatment options for struvite stones include surgical removal and voiding hydropropulsion. Antibiotics for cats are often used to prevent the stones from causing an infection.
Overall, testing the pH levels of cat urine is very important for assessing a cat's health. To stay on top of your cat's health and catch diseases early, take your cat to your veterinarian for regular checkups and urine testing.

Photo of the Week: The Irony of Petra's Treasury
12/14/2010 By Traveling Canucks 13 Comments Categories: Jordan Middle East Photo of the Week World Attractions World Heritage Site
The Iconic Treasury in Petra, Jordan
Petra, and Jordan, is without question one of our favourite places on earth. It's one of those truly spectacular, awe-inspiring destinations that left literally left us speechless. We've tried to describe its magnificence, detail and enormity but words simply cannot give it proper justice.
As a recent addition to the NEW Seven Wonders of the World, Petra has steadily become one of the world's most recognized landmarks, hanging out with the heavyweights like the Great Pyramids of Giza and the lost Incan city Machu Picchu.
What many people don't realize is that Petra is much, much more than just the Treasury, which seems to get all of the attention and has become the staple postcard picture of Jordan (and with good reason!).
Petra is massive. It's spread over several kilometres and is made up of hundreds of caves, tombs and monuments carved out of sandstone cliffs and canyons. You can literally spend weeks hiking and exploring the rocky terrain and never walk the same path twice!
This photo illustrates "the other side" of the historical city. The majority of photos you'll like find on the internet strategically eliminate the eyesore tourist machine to the left of the fascinating Treasury. We actually find the irony quite humorous
Categories: Jordan Middle East Photo of the Week World Attractions World Heritage Site
Dan Thompson says
You know, I had seen a photo just the other day of Petra that made me wonder if it had been "all touristed out"… because you're right, all other pictures conveniently leave out the eyesore. Yet another place on my list that I falsely believed to be a sight to see, and yet somehow not oft traveled. Oh well, I'll get in line with everyone else I suppose. =)
Hi Dan, don't let the tourist booth scare you off. Petra is enormous and is a must if you like historical sites. It really does live up to its hype! 😉
Kyle says
GIFT SHOP! Oh yeah. And one of the most fascinating and historical places on planet earth is here too.
It's like mustard and ketchup… no? It's funny that its called the Treasury, seeing that it brings in massive tourist dollars!
Gray says
Oh, brilliant! You could probably do a whole series of photos like this from all over the world: The iconic image we all know from travel magazines vs. the same image at a bit more of a wide angle, where you can see the McDonalds next door and the hawkers selling cheap baubles. 🙂
Yes – you absolutely could! I found this one particularily odd because you reach the Treasury after about 30 minutes of walking through the Siq (old river caynon path). There were many better places to put the gift shop, but i guess this one comes with a great view!
Dave and Deb says
I'd have to agree! I do love the gift shop in this photo. You can not really go anywhere nowadays without some sort or "touristy" feel can you? 🙂
You really can't! At least not when it comes to the mega attractions.
Jill - Jack and Jill Travel The World says
I have love-hate relationship with gift shops/cafes and what not so close to a major historical sights. Sometimes they can be so welcoming during hot days, especially if a trek is somewhat involved to get there. But here in Indonesia, sometimes they become the source of the trash that litter the area… (well, actually it's the visitors… but they buy snacks and drinks from the shops).
Thanks for the pic of the 'other side' of Petra 🙂
Leslie (Downtown Traveler) says
Great post! You guys are getting me even more excited for my trip to Jordan and Egypt next week! Petra looks amazing 🙂
Kate Brown Wilson says
At first I am thinking that it is a museum, I never imagine that Petra is such a nice place, you really add something to my plans in traveling I really appreciate this.thanks to you.
Andy Kremer says
I love treasures of antiquity like this. So far I've only gone around Italy (though it's not like that means I haven't seen many, cause Italy is chock-full of them), but Petra and the Pyramids of Egypt are on my list. Too bad both areas became a little unstable this year, but hopefully it'll be travel-friendly again soon.

Jason Aldean Honors Late Friend With Ten Years of Concerts for the Cure

Melissa Morstad was just 29 years old when she died of breast cancer, leaving three young daughters behind. It was a loss that hit country superstar Jason Aldean hard, and he realized his celebrity status could carry a lot of weight in bringing awareness — and a ton of money — to the fight against the devastating disease that took his friend's life.
The singer organized his first Concert for the Cure to honor Morstad and other victims in 2006, with help from his then-wife Jessica, who was very close to their late friend and is kin to her widower. Every year since, the Aldean camp has designated one stop on the singer's tour schedule as a show to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation, which funds research and aid for those facing breast cancer. They also donate a portion of the entire tour's ticket sales to the designated city's local Komen programs.
Jason Aldean Removes New Album From Spotify
This year's show is set for October 24th at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. Aldean has set a new tradition for the tenth anniversary: He will honor two breast cancer survivors in every city on his 2015 Burn It Down Tour, chosen from fan submissions posted to ww5.komen.org/jasonAldean.aspx. And this week, fans can download the Georgia native's Old Boots, New Dirt LP for free on Google Play, with Aldean donating $1 for every complete album download to this year's Concert for the Cure tally.
"We're always looking for ways to raise more money for Komen, but it's also really important to me to take time to support people in all stages of the battle against this disease," says the musician. "This year, we're going to be sure we take the time every night to single out and celebrate a couple of fans who have won the fight and hopefully beat our record with a huge check for Komen this fall."
The check from last year's show in Detroit was more than $660,000. Other Cure cities have included Dallas, Nashville and New Orleans.
Aldean's 2015 Burn It Down Tour kicked off last weekend, with Tyler Farr and Cole Swindell also on the bill. The trek will merge with Kenny Chesney's Big Revival Tour for ten joint shows this spring and summer.

City Employee Saves Homeless Rockford Man From Freezing to Death
Lil Zim Published: February 18, 2021
City of Rockford via Facebook
When dangerously low wind chills and temps hit, there are several places in Rockford where the homeless can go to stay warm, but they often fill up quick.
In this recent bout of bitter cold, the City of Rockford was reminding all residents to notify the Homeless Outreach staff if they came across any resident in need of warm, safe play to stay. This past weekend the Homeless Outreach received a call about a homeless man found sleeping on a porch, and thankfully one staff member immediately sprang to action.
According to the City of Rockford, the employee's name is Michelle, and her dedication literally saved a man's life...
Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara had this to say about Michelle on Facebook;
We are fortunate to have Michelle as an Outreach Specialist. She most likely saved a life this weekend, but what was equally as impressive is that she went and visited the resident in the hospital just to check up on him and ensure he was on the road to recovery.
City of Rockford Government has so many passionate, caring and committed employees.
In tough times we all need to look out for another. If you see someone in trouble, help them, or call someone who can. If you know of someone who needs a shelter from the storm, direct them to one of these places:
Rockford Overnight Café - 318 N Church St., open daily from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Rockford Rescue Mission - 715 West State St., open 24/7
Carpenters Place - 1149 Railroad Avenue, Open Weekdays 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You can also call Rockford's 24/7 Homeless Outreach Hotline at 844-710-6919 ext. 5 and then awesome people like Michelle Lindstedt will take it from there.
