Mazda 3: X Factor – The Irish News
Mazda 3 Skyactiv-X sedan
One of the highlights of last year was the arrival of Mazda & # 39; s latest 3 hatchback, writes William Scholes.
The family hatchback market of course has no shortage of very talented contenders. The Volkswagen Golf and Ford Focus are just two of the most suitable rivals for your family money.
For comparison: the magical Mazda 3 feels like it has been dusted with fairy dust.
Beautiful to look at, fantastic to drive, imbued with quality, packed with technology and conceived with the kind of intelligent resistance that makes Mazda such an interesting car manufacturer, the 3 was one of my stars in 2019.
However, it is not perfect. The ride can be stiff on the varied asphalt of Northern Ireland.
The low roofline and thick pillars that make the hatchback look so stunning also make the rear seat feel dark and on the tight side – not ideal for a family car whose rear passengers are rather small children than not.
Mazda, however, has a solution for this, in the well-formed form of the sedan version of the 3.
It gets a slightly higher roof line, which feels like a larger rear window than the hatch and loses the thick pillars of that car and therefore generally feels lighter.
The sedan and hatchback share the same 2727 mm wheelbase, but the bodywork of the four-door is 20 cm longer.
This, if these things are important to you, produces a more comfortable shoe. The salon is usable larger than that of the hatch and grows from 351 liters in volume to 444 liters.
It is, as you can see, still a fantastic car. The only parts of the body that are shared with the hatchback are that long bonnet and the slim windshield; the rest is custom work.
The interior is transferred from the hatch. This is definitely a good thing, especially for the driver and front passenger.
They enjoy lots of space, super comfortable seats and instruments and switches that are arranged wisely and clearly.
There is no over-reliance on a touchscreen to operate the car's functions, thank goodness. There is of course a centrally mounted screen on top of the dashboard. It's smaller than some of the jumbo iPads you'll find elsewhere, but in my opinion that's no worse.
The Mazda 3 is beautiful to look at, fantastic to drive, advanced with quality, packed with technology and conceived with intelligent resistance
A large button and a group of switches – the & # 39; Commander Control & # 39 ;, in Mazda language, is located behind the gear lever. It is intuitive and easy to operate the radio, satellite navigation, telephone, etc. Steering wheel control adds an extra layer of usability.
The overall effect of the design and layout of the cabin is the transfer of quality and a premium feel; just like the outside then.
As you would expect, the sedan drives just like the hatchback. A fairly excellent driving position and, thanks to that long, low hood, an excellent view of the road ahead of us, make this an easy, confidence-inspiring car to drive.
The most important controls – brakes, gas, clutch, gear and control – are constantly weighted and flexible. Everything you serve feels thoroughly developed and expensive.
It is quiet and refined on the road – especially when compared to the previous generation Mazda 3 – but offers a good balance between comfort and the company's characteristic sporty handling.
Where the hatchback can be obtained with a diesel or & # 39; regular & # 39; petrol engine, the salon is only offered with the new, and very high-tech, Skyactiv-X petrol engine from Mazda.
This is a typical idiosyncratic Mazda innovation and a real breakthrough – the engineers must not have read the obituaries written for the combustion engine when the era of the battery-electric era comes …
Mazda has EV & # 39; s on the road, but considering the & # 39; entire lifetime & # 39; emissions and caring for the environment, it expects there is enough life left in the gasoline engine.
At this time you can get the Skyactiv-X unit in the 3 hatchback and the new CX-30 SUV and this will be expanded to other Mazda models in due course.
But what makes Skyactiv-X special? It uses what Mazda calls the & # 39; Spark Controlled Compression Ignition & # 39; technology; others have tried to make this work in the past – the current Formula 1 car engines use a similar system – but Mazda is the first to take it into production.
The theory is that it enables the engine to provide the free-running properties of a gasoline engine with the torque-sensitive responsiveness of a diesel, but also very & # 39; lean & # 39; to run, resulting in low emissions and high fuel consumption.
Indeed, it runs so thin that the fuel-air mixture injected into the engine's cylinders has so little fuel that a normal gasoline engine with spark plugs could not fire it.
The ability to use a compression ratio of 16.3: 1 – the highest of all gasoline engines produced and even higher than most diesel engines – is crucial to the operation of the Skyactiv-X engine.
It can also work as a more conventional gasoline engine by using a spark plug to ignite the fuel-air mixture under certain conditions.
Being able to seamlessly switch between diesel-like and more typical gasoline combustion cycles makes this new Mazda engine revolutionary.
The first iteration of Skyactiv-X to reach these shores is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 178bhp and 165lb.ft; that torque is higher than a comparable Mazda gasoline engine and the peak torque is also produced lower in the speed range.
The fuel consumption in the combined cycle is as good as 52.3 mpg using the official WLTP assessment and the CO2 emissions are as low as 99 g / km.
The engine is louder and grim at startup – more diesel-like than gasoline – than you would expect for a car that drinks lead-free, and you can sometimes detect a change in engine noise as it switches between the different combustion methods.
An image can be displayed on the infotainment screen to show what the engine is doing in real time; it is fascinating.
Like Mazda engines, Skyactiv-X thrives on speed, which contributes to the fun-to-drive factor of the car.
And there is something inherently satisfying about the engine's hard work while also reducing healthier fuel consumption than you would in a similarly beaten & # 39; regular & # 39; gasoline engine.
It is also notable for its low CO2 emissions, which should benefit, among other things, from tax-sensitive business users.
Some versions reach less than 100 g / km, but even the 102 g / km of the sportier trimmed test car is impressive against the competition.
The Skyactiv-X engine offers the free-running characteristics of a gasoline engine with the torque-sensitive responsiveness of a diesel engine, and also runs very & # 39; lean & # 39; resulting in low emissions and strong fuel consumption
So there is a lot of fun about the 3 saloon. It is a bit more practical than the hatchback version, as well as a better proposition for rear passengers.
Under that distinctive, fantastic-looking appearance, a depth of engineering and quality is rare among regular car manufacturers.
Skyactiv-X is a good example of this. Although it will not be understood by everyone, it is the kind of innovation that has made Mazda one of the most interesting and alternative-thinking manufacturers.
That is why Mazda remains so popular with demanding drivers and the 3 saloon is easy to recommend.

ACCIDENT KILLS RECOVERING CANCER VICTIM
Author: MICHAEL MEHLE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS STAFF WRITER
An Aurora mother who believed she had just beaten breast cancer was killed Monday when her car was crushed by a front-end loader near her home.
The driver apparently didn't see Cynthia Starbuck , 33, as he ran over her car while backing up with a load of dirt.
Starbuck honked the car's horn, but the driver apparently didn't hear it.
The accident occurred less than a week after Starbuck had completed her last chemotherapy treatment at Aurora Presbyterian Hospital.
She had received four treatments every three weeks since breast cancer was detected in February.
"We were very confident, and the doctor felt very good, that the outcome was going to be positive," said her husband, Kevin Starbuck . "The treatment was a tough experience. But she was a fighter."
Monday, Starbuck was airlifted to Aurora Presbyterian Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. She was deprived of oxygen for 20 minutes, said hospital spokesman Brad Baumann.
Starbuck , a native Coloradan, was an accomplished wood-worker and professional pilot, her husband said. They had been married for eight years after meeting at Riverside Baptist Church.
She was the mother of two boys, ages 6 and 3.
The accident occurred at 1463 S. Argonne Circle, just doors from the Starbuck home. She was returning home with her cousin after buying a vending machine for Awana, a church organization she headed that works with children.
Starbuck 's cousin, 35-year-old Kim Petrie, escaped with a leg gash. She was treated and released from the hospital.
The driver of the front-end loader was taking dirt down the street when he was told it was not needed, Aurora police said.
He then began to back up into Starbuck 's Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, crushing the car's hood and roof and trapping her inside.
The Aurora Fire Department cut the roof off of the car and used a hydraulic jack to pull it back.
The driver of the front-end loader, Jerry Campbell, works for Brannan Sand and Gravel Co. which was doing road repairs for Aurora. Police did not know late Monday whether Campbell, 42, faces any charges.
LOADER'S WARNING UNHOOKED
Author: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS STAFF
A warning beeper had been disconnected on a front-end loader that drove over a car killing a 33-year-old Aurora woman, police said Tuesday. The beeper is supposed to warn people when a piece of heavy machinery is in reverse. Police on Tuesday turned over to the Aurora District Attorney information from their interview with the driver of the front-end loader, Jerry Campbell, 42, an employee of Brannan Sands and Gravel Co. The driver was backing up with a load of dirt Monday night at 1463 S. Argonne Circle and apparently failed to see Cynthia Starbuck 's Oldsmobile and didn't hear her honking.
Obituary: Cynthia Marie Starbuck
Author: ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS OBITUARIES ARE COMPILED BY CLERK MARLENE REZVANI.
* CYNTHIA MARIE STARBUCK , 32, of Aurora died May 24 in Aurora Presbyterian Hospital. Services were May 28 in Mississippi Avenue Baptist Church. Burial was in Crown Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Starbuck was born in Lamar. She was a homemaker and professional airplane pilot. Survivors include her husband, Kevin; two sons, Daniel and Adam; her parents, LaRee and Alan Symons; one brother, JohnieLee Symons; and her grandmothers, Jessie Symons and Mildred Bartrow.

Q: Is there any function to convert long to int in php? I have this long number 2241574459 , how can i convert this to string or readable number ?Is there any php functions ?

A: I know exactly how to accomplish this common task:
$variable = preg_replace(
    "/\d{5,}/",
    "string or readable number",
    $variable
);

This will replace all 5+ digit numbers with string or readable number.
Moral of the story: Make your question clear -- how can anyone know what that integer represents? This is actually the only valid answer to it, as stupid as it is.

A: $text="2241574459";
$zahl=(int) $text;

Unless I misunderstand your question.

32 Animals Named After the Noises They Make
BY Paul Anthony Jones
A bobolink, said to have been named for the call it makes
iStock.com/PaulReevesPhotography
If you were asked to name an onomatopoeic word, you'd probably says something like boom, boing, whizz, or smash. They're all perfectly good examples, of course, but onomatopoeia is actually responsible for a lot more words than you might think. For instance, etymologists believe that pebble might have been coined to imitate the sound of flowing water. Laugh might have been invented to sound like, well, a laugh. Owl, crow, and raven are all descended from Old English words (ule, crawe, hræfn) that were meant to imitate the owl's hoot and the crow's and raven's squawks. And the 32 names listed here are all meant to represent the bizarre whoops, chips, peeps, and wows made by the animals they describe.
1. Ai

As well as being a contender for the world's shortest animal name, ai (which should be pronounced "ah-ee") is another name for a three-toed sloth, especially the pale-throated sloth, found in the far northeast corner of South America. Although sloths are generally fairly docile, the name ai is apparently meant to resemble the high-pitched cry they can make when they're agitated or alarmed.
2. Bittern

As the name of a type of water bird, no one is entirely sure where the name bittern comes from. The most likely theory is that it is a mangled version of a Latin word essentially meaning "bull-heron"—and if that's the case, then the name is probably meant to be a reference to the bittern's bizarre booming or "mooing" call.
3. Bobolink

Bobolinks can produce very long and surprisingly complex songs, but their usual go-to noise is a brief four-note call that's commonly said to sound like someone saying "Bob-o-Lincoln." The name Bob-o-Lincoln eventually was shortened to bobolink in the 1800s.
4. Catbird
Catbirds are family of medium-sized songbirds found across the Americas, Africa, and Australasia. Their name refers to their raucous wail-like calls, which supposedly sound like the mewing of a cat. This bizarre sound is even the origin of the birds' taxonomic name: ten of the world's 14 known species of catbird belong to a genus named Ailuroedus, which literally means "cat-voiced."
5. Chiffchaff
The chiffchaff is one of the most widespread members of the warbler family of birds, found across Europe, western Asia, the Middle East and north Africa. Throughout that range, it's been given a number of different names meant to replicate its simple but instantly recognisable two-note call. It might be called the chiffchaff in English, but in Dutch it's the tjiftjaf; in Welsh it's the siff-saff; in Turkish it's the çıvgın (pronounced "chiv-gin"); and in German it's the Zipfzapf.
6. Chipmunk
One theory claims that the name chipmunk is an English interpretation of a native Ojibwe word, ajidamoo, meaning something like "red squirrel." But because chipmunks were originally known as "chipping squirrels" in English, it seems more likely that the name is actually an English invention, in which case it's probably meant to describe their short "chipping" call.
7. Chowchilla
Seabamirum, Flickr // CC BY 2.0
The chowchilla is type of logrunner, a small thrush-like bird, that's native to Queensland, Australia. For a bird not much larger than a robin, the chowchilla has a particularly noisy call that to early European colonists and explorers apparently sounded like "chow-chilla-chow-chow." The chowchilla was also once known as the "auctioneer bird," apparently because (with a bit of imagination) its song sounds like an auctioneer's incessant chattering.
8. Chuck-will's-widow
DickDaniels, Wikimedia Commons // CC BY-SA 3.0
A cousin of the better-known whippoorwill, the chuck-will's-widow is another species of nightjar (a family of nocturnal birds related to swifts and martins) native to the southern United States and much of Central America. Dozens of different species of nightjar are found all over the world, and they all share incredible camouflaged plumage and strange whooping calls—so if the "whippoorwill" makes a noise that sounds like poor Will is about to be whipped, then the "chuck-will's-widow" makes a sound like poor Will's widow is about to be chucked.
9. Corncrake
Crakes are a large family of birds related to coots, moorhens and rails. No one is entirely sure whether their name was coined in English (in which case it's probably meant to echo the weird croaking sound they make), or whether it comes from an old Scandinavian word for a crow, krakr (which was likewise invented to sound like the croaking of a raven). In the case of the corncrake bird in particular, however, the name is doubly onomatopoeic: the corncrake's Latin taxonomic name, Crex crex, as well as its common English one, is meant to reproduce its bizarre, grating call.
10. Devil-in-the-trees
We'll get onto geckos in a moment, but first it's worth singling out the New Caledonian giant gecko or "devil-in-the-trees" in particular. The largest species of gecko in the world, the New Caledonian giant reaches an impressive 14 inches in length from nose to tail. Among English speakers (and gecko enthusiasts) it's known as the leachie; both this and its scientific name Rhacodactylus leachianus are meant to honour the 19th century English zoologist William Elford Leach. But to the native New Caledonians, the leachie is better known as the devil-in-the-trees, thanks to the spooky, demonically rasping noises that it makes—which, in the darkness of a tropical forest, could understandably sound fairly unnerving. Local tradition even claims that the giant gecko's super-sticky feet give it the ability to pull a soul out of a person's body.
11. Dickcissel
Also known as the little meadowlark, the American dickcissel bird takes its name from its chirruping call that, with a little bit of imagination, supposedly sound like a repeated "d-d-dick, ciss-ciss-cissel."
12. Dik-dik
Barely a foot tall at the shoulder and weighing as little as 8lbs, dik-diks are among the smallest antelopes in Africa. Their name derives from their alarm call, and is meant to imitate the short, repeated notes the dik-dik produces when threatened.
13. Flicker
One of only a few species of woodpecker that are migratory, American flickers are said to take their name from their chattering, "flickering" call. A number of the birds' regional nicknames—including harry-wicket, walk-up, heigh-ho and wake-up bird—are likewise said to be based on their characteristic back-and-forth calls.
14. Gang-gang
JohnCarnemolla/iStock via Getty Images
The peculiar croaking noise made by the gang-gang cockatoo of southeast Australia has been likened to everything from a creaking wooden door to a cork being pulled from a wine bottle. However you might want to describe it, the onomatopoeic name gang-gang was adopted into English from a Wiradhuri name that was supposed to imitate it.
15. Gecko
They might be best known for their ability to walk upside down on the ceiling thanks to their amazingly specialized feet, but geckos also make a name for themselves (quite literally) by producing a whole range of bizarre croaking sounds—including a characteristic two-note rising and falling call that is believed to have given them their name.
16. Grey go-away-bird
Yes, this is a real bird. Yes, it's grey. And yes, it's call really does sound like someone saying "go away."
17. Grunt
It's fair to say fish aren't among the noisiest of animals, but the grunt is at least one exception. Grunt fish are found mainly in the north and west Atlantic, and are so called because they produce a loud scraping "grunt" sound when threatened. The sound is made by grinding together tiny rows of pharyngeal teeth the fish have hidden behind their gills.
18. Hoolock
The hoolocks are a family of three different species of gibbon native to parts India, Bangladesh and southwest China. Their name comes from the local Assamese language of east India, and is supposed to replicate the raucous whooping sound the hoolocks make.
19. Hoopoe
shurub/iStock via Getty Images
The hoopoe is a striking-looking songbird whose name is meant to imitate its strange whooping call. Their bizarre appearance has also helped make them the frequent subject of myths and folktales over time: the Ancient Egyptians worshipped them and drew pictures of them inside the pyramids; the Romans believed that they were filthy creatures because they fed on dung and frequently nested in graveyards; and at least one old European legend claims that the younger birds look after the older ones in their old age, restoring their youth by plucking out dying feathers and licking blindness from their eyes.
20. Katydid
blindsquirrelphoto/iStock via Getty Images
Katydids make their loud and often three-syllable "ka-ty-did" call by rubbing their forewings together. They hear each other, incidentally, with ears located on their front legs. There are more than 6000 species in the katydid family, found on every continent except Antarctica.
21. Macaque
The name macaque was borrowed into English via French in the late 17th century, but it's thought to originally derive from an old Bantu name, kaku, for any of the numerous monkey species found in West Africa. The name kaku is in turn supposed to be imitative of a monkey call, and it's from the plural form of kaku—namely makaku in Bantu—that the word macaque eventually evolved.
22. Morepork
Also known somewhat less memorably as the Tasmanian spotted owl, the morepork is a small forest-dwelling owl found in southern Australia and New Zealand. Its name is supposed to imitate its characteristic hooting call, which is supposed to sound like someone asking for "more pork." Or at least that's one interpretation—other local names for the morepork that are likewise said to replicate its call include boobook, bug-bug, ruru, and herooroo.
23. Peabody
The American white-throated sparrow is also known as the peabody bird. It might be tempting to presume that name must refer to the bird's discoverer, but actually it's a concocted name based on nothing more than the similarity of the bird's call to the surname Peabody. As the Oxford English Dictionary explains, the peabody's song is "rendered as 'Sow wheat, Peabody, Peabody…'" Another interpretation claims it sounds more like "Old Sam Peabody, Peabody!", while another suggests its call sounds more like "O, sweet Canada, Canada." You can decide for yourself here.
24. Peewit
A type of plover with characteristic green plumage and a long curled crest, the northern lapwing has a number of nicknames in English—including the peewit, the swipe, the peepsweep, the teewhit, and the teeack—every one of which is supposed to emulate its noisy alarm call. The common name lapwing, incidentally, refers to the bird's tactic of feigning a broken wing in order to distract predators from their nest when they feel threatened.
25. Petchary
The petchary is a large shrike-like bird found across the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, from Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas in the north to Panama, Colombia and Venezuela in the south. First recorded in 1840, the name petchary is apparently meant to imitate the bird's trailing, descending three-note call—though today, it is better known as the gray kingbird.
26. Piet-my-vrou
Monkey Boy, Wikimedia Commons // CC BY-SA 2.0
Piet-my-vrou is another name for the red-chested cuckoo, a species of cuckoo found across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Cuckoos are well known for their instantly recognizable call, and it's the loud three-note descending call of the piet-my-vrou (which literally means "Pete my wife" in Afrikaans) that gives it its name.
27. Thermometer cricket
Okay, we're bending the rules a little for this one. Also known as the snowy tree cricket, the thermometer cricket is so called not because of the sound makes, but the rate at which it makes it. Like all crickets, the thermometer cricket makes a soft chirruping sound. Count the number of chirps it makes in 15 seconds, then add 40 to that total, and you'll have a fairly accurate estimate of the current ambient air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. Incredibly, there's a wealth of scientific research behind this calculation, and even a somewhat complex rule—known as Dolbear's Law—to describe it.
28. Veery
The veery is an American thrush, whose name according to Merriam-Webster is "probably imitative of its downward-spiraling song."
29. Whistlepig
Never heard of a whistlepig? Actually, you probably have. This is just another name for the American groundhog, so called because it makes a loud whistling sound when threatened or alarmed.
30. Wistiti
The wistiti is another name for the common marmoset, a small monkey native to the far northeast of Brazil. It derives from the French word for a marmoset, ouistiti, which is itself meant to imitate the creature's high-pitched cry.
31. Wow-wow
Julielangford, Wikimedia Commons // CC BY-SA 3.0
Gibbons are famous for their lengthy and surprisingly complex songs, and the whooping or "wowing" call of the wow-wow or wawa—a local Indonesian name for either the agile gibbon or the silvery gibbon—is no exception. Sadly both species are now listed as endangered, due to their localized distribution and on-going habitat destruction.
32. Zyzzyx
The bizarre Z-hogging word Zyzzyx has two claims to fame. Firstly, it's often touted as the last dictionary word in the English language. Secondly, it appeared in the title of the 2006 movie Zyzzyx Rd—which set an all-time record when it earned just $30 at the box office. Besides that, it's also the name of a genus of sand wasp supposedly suggested way back in 1930s as an attempt to imitate the characteristic buzzing sound the insects make.

The Chariot of Jagannath
The ideal society is the vehicle of the indwelling Godhead of a human aggregate, the chariot for the journey of Jagannath. Unity, Freedom, Knowledge and Power constitute the four wheels of this chariot.
The society, created by human intellect or by the play of the impure life-impulses of Nature, belongs to a different order: here it is not the chariot of God who directs the destiny of the collectivity, but a masquerading deity who deforms the divine intuition by covering up the God within; it is rather the vehicle of the collective ego. It wanders aimlessly along the path heaped with numerous pleasures, pulled by the immature and incomplete resolutions of the intellect, and the old and new dull urges of the lower nature. As long as ego is the master, it is not possible to find the goal — even when the goal is seen it is not possible to drive the chariot straight in that direction. The truth that the ego is an obstacle to the divine fulness applies not only to the individual but holds equally good in the case of the collectivity.
Three main divisions of the ordinary human society are noticeable. The first is the well-built chariot, polished, shining, clean and comfortable, fashioned by skilled artisans; drawn by strong well-trained horses, it goes forward cautiously at an easy pace without any haste along a good road. The Sattwic ego is its owner-passenger. This chariot goes round the temple of God situated on a high region above it. Unable to go very close to the high ground, it circles it at a distance. If any one wants to go up, the rule is to get down from the chariot and climb on foot. The ancient Aryan society which came after the Vedic age can be called a chariot of this type.
The second is the motor-car of the luxury-loving efficient worker. It rushes forward restless and tireless, at a breakneckspeed, roaring through the storm of dust and shattering the street beneath it. Ears are deafened by the noise of its horn; it relentlessly pursues its way knocking down and crushing anybody that happens to be in its path. Danger to the life of the passengers is great; accidents are frequent; the car is often smashed and repaired with difficulty, yet proudly it continues. There is no fixed goal but whenever a new vista is seen not too far away, immediately the owner of the car, the rajasic ego, drives in that direction shouting, 'This is the goal, this is the goal.' One derives much pleasure and enjoyment in riding this car; yet peril is unavoidable, and to reach the Divine impossible. Modern society of the West is a car of this nature.
The third is the dirty, old, dilapidated bullock cart, slow as a tortoise, drawn by emaciated, starving and half-dead bullocks, and going on the narrow country roads; inside the car is sitting a lazy, blind, pot-bellied, decrepit man in shabby clothes; smoking with great pleasure his mud-stained hukkah and listening to the harsh creaking of the cart, he is lost in the profusion of the lazy and distorted memories of bygone days.

ACAR: Active Care Inc is today's Healthcare Momentum Play. Read our full profile below and put ACAR on your watch list . Today's play has the potential for a major breakout all members should strongly consider picking up shares of ACAR early @ 9:30am EST to maximize profits on what could be PennyStockLocks 5th winner in a row!!!
Active Care, Inc. (ACAR) is a leader in care for the elderly, disabled or chronically ill. ACAR's line of products allow their users to continue a free and independent lifestyle, while at the same time providing them with the security and peace of mind that their health is being monitored 24/7 by ActiveCare's CareCenter specialists and ACAR's cutting edge product line of health care technologies.
ACAR just released huge news today regarding the appointment of David S. Boon as their new Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Boone has reputation for breeding success in the healthcare industry and creating gains for his company's shareholders. His most recent accomplishment was as CEO of American CareSource Holdings, where they saw revenue increase from $5 million to over $75 million and market capitalization from $19 million to over $140 million in less than 5 years. Current and future shareholders should be happy to know that Mr. Boone is committed to the goal of making ACAR the industry leader in a market set to grow over $15 billion within the next nine years!
ACAR had been trading lightly as of late but with this recent groundbreaking news we saw a huge surge in volume before the close and the PPS shot up +22.50%. PennyStockLocks feels this could just be the start of a huge momentum run and we may see a huge breakout early today.
Just yesterday, ACAR announced that they appointed a new CEO to lead the company to their goal of becoming the industry leader in Telemonitoring. During his tenure as CEO of American CareSource Holdings, the company's revenue increased from $5 million to over $75 million and market capitalization grew from $19 million to over $140 million in less than 5 years. Read the full press release below.
The Telemonitoring market is valued at an estimated $17 billion; ACAR is part of this billion dollar market that provides 24/7 Active Care Center services.
The Telemonitoring market is expected to grow immensely; it is estimated that the nation's population of people 65 and older is anticipated to double by 2030.
ACAR's products and services address the needs of the 36 million seniors and the 78 million baby boomers; the telemonitoring market can save society nearly $500 billion in savings each year.
The average cost of nursing home's continue to rise as the quality of care diminishes. Family's are now looking for less expensive alternatives like ActiveCare to help offset the cost of overpriced nursing home's while still recieving 24/7 quality health care service for their loved ones.
Hospital and healthcare patient's visits have become shorter due to increased medical costs; ACAR's products and services, such as ACAR's Home Monitoring System, allows the elderly, disabled, and ill to be effectively monitored outside professional care centers.
President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides for $20 billion in research and development funding for new medical technologies; telemonitoring companies such as ACAR are eligible for this financial aide.
Yesterday's breaking news brought on a huge surge in volume. CEO's with proven track records like David S. Boone don't come along to often and with his reputation for increasing shareholder value we can expect the surge in volume to continue today as smart investors grab their shares early in the AM.
Taking a look at the chart below, PennyStockLocks anticipates that ACAR is ready for a repeat run past previous highs!
Last time we profiled ACAR members saw +33.33% in gains from our initial alert.
We heard a rumor that there may be even more ground breaking news today that could positively effect the PPS.
All members should strongly consider picking up some shares of ACAR. This could be the breakout stock of the week.....Follow PennyStockLocks on Facebook & Twitter for the latest news and updates on ACAR!!!

Following a recommendation from a friend with whom we had worked previously, a young professional Cambridge graduate contacted us with an exciting new project. We saw great potential in a complete renovation of his Victorian house in a prime South-East London location.
The brief was to create an elegant classic design in the reception rooms and bring vibrancy to the house, working with his passions for cooking, music and entertaining. The house was totally stripped out, a downstairs toilet added, and the kitchen extended, bringing the garden into the heart of the home.

Obama Sharpens Rhetoric Against Syria's Assad
Posted July 12th, 2011 at 8:25 pm (UTC-5)
U.S. President Barack Obama says Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is "losing legitimacy in the eyes of his people," echoing remarks the U.S. secretary of state made a day earlier.
Mr. Obama told CBS News Tuesday the Syrian government has perpetrated what he called an "unacceptable degree of brutality" on peaceful demonstrators protesting Mr. Assad's authoritarian rule. He said the Syrian president has missed "opportunity after opportunity" to present genuine reforms.
It was the strongest language Mr. Obama has used against Mr. Assad in connection with his brutal crackdown on anti-government protests rocking the strategic Middle Eastern nation.
Syria earlier sharply criticized similar remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The state-run SANA news agency quoted an official who called her comments "further evidence" of "blatant U.S. interference" in Syria's internal affairs.
Clinton said Monday that Mr. Assad has "lost legitimacy" and is "not indispensable." She also said the U.S. has "nothing invested in him remaining in power."
Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council Tuesday condemned in the "strongest terms" this week's attacks against the U.S. and French embassies in Damascus.
In his CBS interview, Mr. Obama said the U.S. has sent "a clear message" that "nobody can be messing with our embassy." He said Syria has been warned that Washington will take "whatever actions necessary" to protect its overseas missions.
On Monday, loyalists to Mr. Assad mobbed the embassy compound, broke windows and briefly raised a Syrian flag. The U.S. State Department said Tuesday the embassy is operational, and U.S. and Syrian officials are working to repair the damage.
Security guards at the French embassy fired shots into the air on Monday to keep demonstrators from entering the grounds. Officials said three embassy staffers were injured during the unrest.
The incidents took place after U.S. Ambassador Robert Ford and French Ambassador Eric Chevallier traveled to the flashpoint city of Hama last week to show solidarity with residents facing a military crackdown on dissent.
In another development, Syria wrapped up a three-day session of a government-organized "national dialogue" on Tuesday. The state news agency says the participants issued a statement in which they said stability and a greater commitment to reforms are high priorities.
The statement says dialogue participants rejected foreign interference and said that dialogue is the only way to end Syria's political crisis.
Syria's main opposition groups did not participate in the talks.
Rights groups say Syrian security forces have killed at least 1,600 civilians during the crackdown, while the government blames the violence on terrorists and Islamists who it says have killed hundreds of security personnel.

Digital Health Research
Interacting with patients by computer, phone or apps, virtual healthcare can consist of: sharing patient information (symptoms, medication review); education (informing patients about signs of illness); and management (a recommendation to seek medical attention; physician submitting a drug prescription).
The science of virtual care and remote automated monitoring (RAM) is a burgeoning field of study. While digital transformation of healthcare holds great promise, a lack of robust research and data – and inadequate scaling of health technology interventions (such as mostly pilot studies) – have been barriers to date.
PHRI's work to date is leading the way in overcoming challenges to allow virtual care with RAM to achieve its promised potential. Those challenges include: patient and clinician discomfort with technologies for virtual care; underdeveloped intervention workflows; lack of integration of RAM data into meaningful action for frontline clinicians; cybersecurity threats; and failure to integrate data with electronic medical records.
Better postoperative monitoring needed
More than 99% of deaths of surgical patients happens within 30 days after surgery: 70% occur in the hospital after surgery; 29% after hospital discharge. As such, there is a need to improve postoperative monitoring for clinically silent complications and signs of deterioration on surgical wards and into the home setting, to allow us to improve postoperative outcomes, similar to how enhanced intraoperative monitoring has improved safety during surgery.
In 2018, to establish proof-of-concept, PHRI launched the CIHR-funded SMArTVIEW trial of 800 patients (573 randomized to date) in Canada and the United Kingdom. This trial randomizes patients after cardiac or vascular surgery to normal care or to intervention which included in-hospital RAM with a vital-signs monitor, transmitting and displaying respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rate, SpO2, and temperature on bedside and central monitors.
Patients data is calculated and early notifications of any postoperative complications are sent to frontline nursing staff, who also conduct video-visits with the patient. Nurses escalate care to a surgeon or perioperative physician as required.
RAM rapid response to the pandemic
At the start of the pandemic, as hospitals filled up with COVID patients, PHRI saw the need to further investigator post operative care via remote automated monitoring (RAM) of patients.
In Spring 2020, PHRI Senior Scientist PJ Devereaux and team launched PVC-RAM-1, a randomized controlled trial of patients aged 40 years and older who had undergone non-elective surgeries – examining the effect of virtual care with RAM compared to standard postoperative care.
The PVC-RAM-1 trial randomized 905 patients at 9 hospitals in Ontario and Alberta. Results were published in The BMJ in September 2021.
The PVC-RAM-3 trial is now underway to ask more questions about how virtual care can help patients after surgery.
Machine learning predictive model for prevention
The VISION-2 study is investigating vital signs monitoring wearable technology can help determine what/how a person's heart muscle is damaged by insufficient blood or oxygen flow after non-cardiac surgery, a condition known as MINS.
This PHRI study is part of a European Union – Canada consortium called Smart Inclusive Living Environments (SMILE) developing technologies to enable patients and caregivers to self- or co-manage their health condition(s).
Universities and organizations in Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands as well as Canada (McMaster University) are part of the innovative collaboration for ehealth and virtual care.
Carley Ouellette, shown here, is a nurse-researcher who has worked with Michael McGillion on studies since 2017, including currently on VISION-2 and PVC-RAM-3.
VICTOR virtual care research program
A new joint research program, Virtual Care and Remote Automated Monitoring Technology Research (VICTOR) is indicative of the level of long-term commitment to this area of research by PHRI and our local collaborators, the Centre for Data Science and Digital Health (CREATE), an advanced IT group within Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS), and the Escarpment Cancer Research Institute.
The first initiative out of the VICTOR program is a collaborative laboratory for studying perioperative and cancer outcomes using technology – the PROTECT lab. McMaster University is supporting a Canadian Foundation of Innovation (CFI) grant application received by PHRI's Michael McGillion, P.J. Devereaux, and Mark Levine of HHS' Juravinski Cancer Centre.

Bestival 2016 Review
Posted on 17th October 2016
Ever since kicking off in 2004, Bestival has stood as one of the most unique and celebrated events of the British festival season. Standing out thanks to its mix of sounds and ability to foster a sense of adventure and escapism, Bestival makes the ferry ride to the Isle of Wight seem like the start of a sojourn into another world, and the 2016 event was just as impressive as we hoped.
Things kicked off well before the first note was even sung thanks to this year's future theme. From glitter-clad Stormtroopers to glowstick-attired spacemen and a whole host of dystopian get-ups, the crowd was an energetic mass of fireball creativity, though the festival's top acts this year were decidedly nostalgic.
It's a bit trite to call the headlining act the biggest draw, but The Cure, who headlined for the second time in five years, really made the main stage their own on Saturday night. Despite having to navigate their way through epic downpours and sludgy mud, the crowds packed in to enjoy the band's phenomenal two-and-a-half-hour set. Starting off with a few lesser-known tracks from the early 90s, Robert Smith and company utterly engaged with bouncy bass numbers like In Between Days and crowd-winners such as Friday, I'm in Love and Boys Don't Cry.
The other most talked-about act at this year's Bestival was The Human League, who took to the Big Top tent on Sunday night. Philip Oakey, Susan Ann Sulley, and Joanne Catherall delivered rousing renditions of Mirror Man and Tell Me When, then bought things to a stunning peak with the infamous Don't You Want Me.
Then there was the much-publicised headline sound-clash between Sean Paul and Wiz Khalifa. Khalifa's battery of hip-hop classics turned on the crowd, but it was Sean Paul who people couldn't stop talking about when Bestival had wrapped up for another year. The Jamaican superstar electrified with hit dancehall tracks such as Gimme The Light and She Doesn't Mind.
The arenas were up to scratch this year, though more than a little disappointment was levelled at the overhyped Spaceport Stage. Meant to be a renovated version of The Port to fit around this year's futuristic theme, the Spaceport didn't quite live up to expectations, though it was closed perfectly by Fat Boy Slim.
Bestival 2016 turned out to be a place for old stars to shine. We're definitely thinking that similar acts will be booked for next year, and we just can't wait.

HSAM is entering the next phase of street animal welfare in Morocco; the first ever dog sterilisation and Rabies vaccination program to be carried out in Essaouira. The dog population in the Medina is relatively small at present, giving the perfect opportunity to stabilise numbers before they escalate, effectively making the practice of culling as a method of Rabies control redundant. In short, HSAM's Dog Population Management scheme will raise levels of welfare for years to come, both for the canine and human residents of Essaouira.
Half domestic dogs stay in residential aeras, close to the forest or the sea. Rules the streets in the night finding food near the garbage containers or outside houses in the derbs.
In the early morning they leave to find a more calm place to sleep, usually in the forest. They are shy for man who use to throw stones at them as a protection.
There are many dogs in the forest and some of them wild in the sense that they seldom approach man. They are extremly shy and usually hide in the vegetation when you pass by.
Most of the dogs I knew last year and before are dead.
Probably poisoned, but also dead of accidents, illnesses or natural causes.
The dogs are usually shy and most active in the night and early mornings.
Then they are sleeping during the days in a quiet safe place.
Some dogs are more domesticated than others because local children play with them in their neighbourhood an families put food beside the garbage containers to feed them. Some dogs are successful in surviving. When they give birth to cubs - sometimes more than 8.....the puppies quickly disappears. The children play with the cute puppies in the streets and even knock at my door and offers them for 10 DH or free. I know some people take some puppies, too early from their mothers, and leave them as watchdogs in houses in the villages around Essaouira. There I have seen bad treatment of them. They put a chain around their neck, about 2 m long outside their house and and let them there just feeding them occationally. The purpose is to have a watchdog - barking when someone approach the house. Without exercise and affection they soon die.
But the most common attitude to dogs is to throw stones at them and not be close or touch them. Therefore they are mostly shy and well disciplined.....they don´t approach man easily. I love the dogs and when they feel comfortable and are not afraid they are very affectionate and they like to walk with me in the forest or at the beach. They are very curious but cautious exploring the beach, the forest and the lagoons. They have a distinct hunting instict but they never have a chance with the birds. Sometimes they chase cats but always loose a fight.
When the pack follow me to the street where I live I just tell them to go away and they understand. That is important because people are afraid of dogs and never let them in their house or want them in the neighbourhood and you only walk with a pack of dogs in the early morning when streets are empty. But the dogs like to bond with man.
Nina (2003 - 2009) Raised in derb Bouhaira. 4 litters.
A typic domesticated street dog. Dead by poisoning.
that they are unclean and must be treated in a certain way.
If you serve a dog water in a bowl - you must clean it seven times after.
A black dog is a devil.
Hair from dogs are unclean and distracts from prayers.
You don´t let a dog enter a house and certainly not sleep in your bed.
The street dogs of Essaouira are not aggressive, they are afraid of people. It is common that they dont like "dirty people", like drunkards or people looking for garbage in the containers and they could then bark. In that way they keep the block clean from such problems. They learn quickly who is good and who is bad.
Health. The dogs who live at the beach (Pack Bhar), just north of the ramparts of medina, seem to be clean and in good health. Fishermen give them fresh water and also some food. They are very safe sleeping at the rocks offshore at low tide.
Dogs living near the forest and in the the blocks of Frina (sea) Sekkala (sea -duneforest), Tafouckt and Bouhaira (Lagoon forest) are in different shapes. They have infections of the skin and lice, bugs. Rarely that they have lost all hair. More seldom open wounds, injuries from fights with other dogs or accidents. Damaged limbs are common. Dogs who are injured are afraid and therefore it is advisable with precaution.
" I have once been bitten by a dog and that was in a Eureopean mans house in a nearby village and I was told before this dog was unreliable - Anyway it happened and I went to the hospital Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah and got a prescription of antibiotics and an ordonance to the local anti rabies center where I got antirabies shots. All free of charge.
Mentally most dogs are shy and afraid of man. The dogs belongs to a flock in ranking. It is common a flock attacks a lonely outsider, who is week and submissive. My impression is that the dogs in Essaouira really like to follow and be with people. They like to live in the blocks with us. They like to play and walk with us. The dogs are educated to behave in a proper way. They understand signals. Example: If you meet a dog and are afraid. You can bend down as you are looking for a stone, and then they dog will go away. "
Killing dogs does not prevent or control rabies. An estimated 20 million dogs are killed every year to try and control rabies, but it has little effect on controlling the disease.
The best way to control rabies is to vaccinate dogs regularly.
The rabies virus is primarily transmitted in the saliva when a rabid animal bites another warm blooded mammal.
Scratches from an infected animal can give you rabies because an animal's claws have saliva on them.
If an animal has rabies, it often drools excessively, and the saliva drips on its claws.
An anti-rabies vaccination can only prevent rabies if it is given to the victim before the virus reaches the nervous system. There are no definite external signs of rabies before the virus has reached the nervous system.
The vaccination cannot cure rabies once the clinical symptoms appear in the victim.
Rabies vaccination is only effective during the incubation period.
If you are bitten by a suspected rabid animal you should wash the wound with soap and running water (from a tap or poured from a jug) for at least 15 minutes and then go to a clinic for further treatment.
There is NO test to diagnose rabies before the symptoms appear.
Remember: Rabies cannot be cured once the symptoms appear in a person, but the person can be made comfortable and given medicines to help relieve the suffering, which can also be a comfort to the patient's family.
How to avoid dog bites.
Leave dogs alone when they are eating or near food.
Don't grab a dog, as this can frighten it.
Never surprise a sleeping dog.
Don't enter a strange dog's yard without the owner being present and the dog being aware of your presence.
Don't touch any dogs you don't know or that don't know you.
Don't play with a dog with puppies, especially while the mother is still feeding them.
Don't run away from strange dogs, as this can make them more likely to attack.
Just stand still when you are afraid of or meet a strange dog.

TRANSACT 2019 is where professionals working in electronic payments want to be. ETA, the leading organization in electronic payments, presents its annual conference April 30 to May 2 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The event features three-plus days of seminar sessions, keynote presentations by leaders in payments technology, an exhibit hall, and networking events such as business luncheons and dinners, galas and awards presentations, and a golf tournament.
ETA anticipates over 500 companies and 4,000 people in attendance.

I have covered this topic before, but am frequently asked about functional resumes by jobseekers, so I figured I'd address them again here. I strongly advise against using a functional resume. Period.
Most recruiters and hiring managers do not like functional resumes. They are more difficult to read, and immediately raise a red flag. The reader asks him/herself "What is the candidate trying to hide by grouping together their competencies and not showing me what they did where? A gap in employment, excessive job jumping or lack of experience?" Regardless of your reason for using a functional resume, you are doing yourself a disservice. The last thing you want to do is cause any negative feelings — and confusion is a negative feeling. You want the reader of your resume to feel nothing but positive feelings. The goal of your resume is to pique the interest of the reader and entice them to invite you in for an interview, right? So, don't annoy them. Make it easy for them to see the value you would add to their team.
If you are using a functional resume because you were advised to do so — find a better source of employment advice. Ask someone who has been trained in effective resume writing within the last few years, because the resume world has drastically changed. If you are trying to overcome an employment barrier, the hiring manager will see it anyhow, so it is better not to attempt to hide it. You should address anything that an employer may see as negative in your cover letter. Explain it simply and let the employer know why it will not be a problem. They just might appreciate your honesty and directness.
I won't even write a functional resume. If a client comes to me requesting a functional resume because they want to change careers or get back to something they enjoyed doing in the past, I show them how we can effectively sell them with the traditional reverse chronological resume. Still not convinced? Give me a call and I'd be glad to discuss it. 860-658-6480.

Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". If your job search is not winning job offers, then it is time to change your approach.
A year-end job search review helps jobseekers to reflect upon their strategies, evaluate their progress and determine which actions they should continue and which they should change.

If your resume is not winning you frequent interviews, then it is not doing its job. Here are some quick fixes to turn that around.
I recently met a woman at one of my local LinkedIn workshops who was frustrated in her job search. She had applied to many, many jobs, but had not landed any interviews.
Change the focus of your resume to address the employer's needs not yours. How can you help them achieve their goals? Position yourself as the solution to their problem and highlight your differentiators.
These days, companies are looking for specialists, not generalists. Focus your resume on a specific role, so the reader can quickly see where you'd fit within their organization. They won't guess – if unsure, they will move on to the next resume and you just missed out on the opportunity.

What? They want you to be on time, prepared and respectful? That seems like an awful lot to expect in a professional business meeting – which a job interview surely is. Interviewers have clear expectations of job applicants that impact their decision on whom to hire. By the time you've landed the interview, the employer is pretty sure you have the skills to do the job. Now, they want to find out if you are the type of person they'd like to have on their team.
To provide the best possible help to my career coaching clients, I speak regularly with recruiters and hiring managers to stay on top of what they are looking for in a candidate and what they like to see on a resume. We also discuss what bothers them and a few common themes stand out. I'm sharing them here to help you avoid these interview mistakes that can cost you that great job.

The most common frustrations I hear from jobseekers are related to applying for jobs online. The application process itself is time-consuming, can be confusing and most of the time you don't hear back after you've submitted your application materials. First of all, if you have applied to hundreds of jobs – STOP! Either you are applying for the wrong type of jobs or your resume is not selling you as well as it could. It might not even be making it through the Applicant Tracking Systems. Read on to see how you can turn things around.
Why Is My Online Job Search Failing?
Here's the problem with applying to jobs online: your application is only one of hundreds, if not thousands, submitted for each opening. With employers' increased reliance on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen for the most qualified candidates, your application may not even be reviewed by a person if it does not include the right keywords or proper formatting. For more information about getting through these online filters, see my previous blog "Are Applicant Tracking Systems Rigged Against Jobseekers?".

Step into the Spotlight! It's Time to Ace Your Recorded Job Interview.
Welcome to the third installment of my blog series on virtual job interviews. In my last blog, I shared tips on mastering Skype interviews. If you missed it, you can catch up here.
Employers are continually looking to make the hiring process more efficient. To this end, they have started using recorded job interviews as a quick way to screen candidates. In a recorded interview, also known as a one-way video interview, the company sends you pre-scripted interview questions that you answer on video and submit by a specific date. When you record your answers to the questions, you cannot see the interviewer, but they will scrutinize you when viewing and listening to your answers.

Welcome to the second installment of my blog series on virtual job interviews, with some quick tips to help you prepare for a video conference interview. If you missed last month's post on telephone interviews, you can catch up here. Next month, I'll address the recorded video interview.
In the good old days, hiring managers relied on in-person interviews to screen and hire job candidates. As if that was not intimidating enough! Today, many companies are incorporating online video conferencing interviews using Skype, Zoom or Facetime into the hiring process. Virtual interviews are popular with employers because they quickly narrow the candidate pool, which saves the company time and money. But, they can add an entirely new layer of anxiety-provoking stress for job seekers.
Whether you are new to live video interviews or didn't do well enough in your last one to proceed to the next round of interviews, you need to learn how to present your best self on camera. Here's how you can prepare for, and ace, your next video interaction with a potential employer.

Are Applicant Tracking Systems Rigged Against Jobseekers?
It's a fact – if your resume does not make it through an employer's Applicant Tracking System, it's like you never even applied for the job.
Too often, Applicant Tracking Systems make life difficult for jobseekers. But once you know how they work, you can use them to your advantage and they will no longer be a barrier to your job search. Not sure what this is all about? They can be confusing and continually evolve, which is why I research, take frequent training and test out the systems myself.

'Tis the season to celebrate with friends and family. 'Tis also the season for year-end performance reviews, which is the perfect time for you to position yourself for success.
Performance reviews can be stressful, especially coming as they do during the holiday season. You naturally hope that your manager notices all of your hard work and recognizes the value you offer your organization. But does management really know how valuable you are? As part of the review process, many companies ask their employees to provide a self-assessment to their manager. This is your best opportunity to remind your manager of your contributions and highlight the impact of your efforts. It is also a great first step to developing a strong resume.

Whether you are transitioning to a new career or looking to achieve your next professional milestone, a successful job search is all about selling yourself to prospective employers. Never thought you'd be in sales? When competing for a job, you are marketing yourself as both the product and the salesperson, and your most effective tool is your resume.
In my experience as a Career Coach, I've found that many people don't know how to sell themselves when looking for a job. Writing about yourself is difficult, no doubt about it. That is why so many people hire professional resume help.

Are You Sabotaging Your Job Search by Not Including a Cover Letter?
No one really likes writing cover letters – not even me, and I write clients' career marketing documents every day. Personally, I find creating resumes, executive bios and LinkedIn profiles much more fun. But – cover letters are an important part of your job search that you cannot overlook.

With 500 million worldwide users, LinkedIn can help you establish a wide professional network. It is also a powerful marketing tool that can boost or derail your job search. A reported 87% of recruiters source passive job candidates on the social network for busy professionals.. So, if you are a jobseeker and not on LinkedIn – you are basically invisible.
