'Super' event for seniors scores big: Village 99ers vs. GroundhogsFebruary 07, 2018

Is the National Football League our best hope for Alzheimer's progress?February 04, 2013
More than 110 million Americans watched yesterday's Super Bowl in New Orleans. It's not too hard to see why the game has become our nation's defining cultural ritual. The National Football League also could give us the nation's best chance at progress against Alzheimer's disease.

Stocks are still up today -- big surprise there -- but some big-time momentum names are sliding.
Doug Kass notes that both Apple and Netflix and Chipotle shares are all underperforming the market, a worrisome indication that momentum is running out.
If Apple does close lower, that would mark the second consecutive day of under-performance. Also underperforming yesterday was Goldman Sachs, normally thought to be in the "leadership" category.
The NASDAQ's run has been nothing short of remarkable lately. It's in a territory not since 2000 -- when some people were still holding onto .com dreams -- and the NASDAQ-100 is currently tied for a record run of 14 straight days of closing above the opening. If it closes higher today, that will break a new all time record.
Of course, while the weakness in Apple can be blamed on the fresh worries over Steve Jobs' health, that doesn't explain Netflix (and MolyCorp and some others).

Located in the southwest corner of Sta. Rita Hills, La Encantada is a certified organic site planted in 2001 by Richard Sanford - the "godfather" of Santa Ynez pinot. This north-facing vineyard enjoys a very cool climate as a result of its westerly location and proximity to the ocean. Its high elevation (the vineyard sits on a ridge at the foot of the Santa Rosa Hills) also exposes it to the marine winds which sweep in over the valley in the afternoon. La Encantada is planted to 96 acres of Pinot Noir (clones 4, 5, 114, 115, 667, 777 and SWAN) on combination soils consisting of clay, loam, shale and sand. The result is dark cherry, earth and spice - everything you'd want out of Sta. Rita Hills pinot. This vineyard typifies why there is so much buzz about Pinot Noir from Sta Rita Hills.

Smart mapping technology to improve patient care at Tan Tock Seng Hospital
Smart mapping technology has extended its reach to now benefit hospitals.
For instance, the medical staff at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) in Singapore is leveraging the Geographic Information System (GIS) technology from Esri Singapore to map and analyse medical and demographic data. This enables decision makers to "better understand the health patterns of patients and embark on the design of appropriate healthcare services," said Michael Leow, TTSH's director for operations.
The move to implement smart mapping technology is part of the National Healthcare Group's (NHG) efforts to improve the quality of patient care by moving towards an integrated and patient-centric Regional Health System.
Besides that, the technology will help NHG address a key challenge concerning frequent hospital admitters. Leow explained that healthcare group will be using the GIS technology to conduct spatial analysis on frequent hospital admitters to understand their demographic profile, housing type, diseases type, and proximity to other healthcare providers. NHG will then use those findings and work with its network of community partners to "proactively provide these patients with holistic support". By doing so, NHG hopes to "reduce avoidable hospital admissions and Accident and Emergency visits" from frequent admitters.

Follow these steps if you're having trouble getting your PC to communicate with your Pine via ADB mode (used to load Google Play, Root, etc..) Hat tip to Fet Guy for creating this!
- What cannot be stressed enough, you need to switch Pine into "Connect to PC" mode. This is done from Settings>USB Connect>Connect to PC. This is number 1 problem users seem to be facing.
- When you plug Pine in this mode, Windows will be presented with 8 (!) devices. As long as your computer has "Always install the best driver software from windows update" enabled (which could be problem #2), it will proceed to check Microsoft database and install drivers automatically. The only driver you need for rooting and GAPPS installer is for the ADB interface. Your computer, however, will try to install all of them in random order, so please allow some time while this is happening. Unplugging Pine too soon could be problem #3.
- Before trying to root or install GAPPS, take a moment to check if the ADB Interface is installed.
- In Windows 7, click Start button and type: device manager. Click on first result on the top.
- In Windows 8, open Start menu and type: device manager. Click on the result in the right pane.
4. If the driver is pulled successfully from Microsoft, you would usually see "YunOS Phone" category with "YunOS ACB Interface" at the bottom of the list of your devices. If this is the case, you're all set.
5. In some cases, especially if your computer was used with other Android phones in the past, you may see some other "ADB Interface" showing up towards the top of your list. Unless it's "Android Composite ADB Interface", you will not be able to connect successfully (problem # 4).
- The best way to handle this is to remove this driver. Right-click on that ADB Interface and choose "Uninstall".
- On the next screen, check "delete the driver for this device" as well. Unplug and re-plug Pine, while looking at Device Manager.
- Did the same (wrong) ADB Interface come back? If it did, it means that your computer will continue using the wrong driver from Windows Update, and you will need to stop this process first.
- In Windows 7, click Start button and type: device installation. Click on "Change device installation settings"
- In Windows 8, open Start menu and type: device installation. Click on "Settings" section of results in the right pane, then "Change device installation settings".
- In "Device Installation Settings" window, select "No, let me choose what to do", then "Never install driver software from Windows Update", then save changes. Don't worry, you can reverse it later.
6. Go back to Device Manager, uninstall the problem ADB Interface, unplug/re-plug Pine. You should see… no more ADB. The Device Manager should be showing 4 or 5 other unknown "Android" devices missing drivers. It's time to install them manually, one by one.
- Download and unzip these drivers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8dclxu8ddb9s87l/Pine%20Drivers.zip?dl=0
- In Device Manger, right-click on every unrecognized "Android" device, choose "Update driver software", then "Browse my computer for driver" and point it to the location where you unzipped the drivers. Repeat for every Android device on the list until "Android Composite ADB Interface" finally gets recognized, which means you're done.

From alien-looking copepods to sea angels and aptly named arrow worms, the waters of the Arctic Ocean can hardly be called barren, even though it may appear that way from above the sea ice. More than 90 percent of the roughly 5,000 known species of Arctic marine invertebrates (animals without spines) live on the sea floor. Learn more about some of the animals that call the Arctic home below, or come and meet these creatures in the Vancouver Aquarium's Canada's Arctic gallery.
Arctic char are related to trout and salmon. In High Arctic lakes, they're the only fish and appear in many forms—from bottom feeders to medium-sized plankton eaters to large-sized fish eaters. Found throughout Canada's Arctic, Arctic char seem an ideal fish to help researchers track the effect of climate change. However, researchers are working against time to find even baseline information about a fish that is already experiencing effects due to climate change. For example, they're still discovering different forms of Arctic char living in some Arctic lakes, let alone what causes this fish to evolve into different forms, or their relationship to each other, or to their habitats.
The Arctic cod is a key species in the Arctic marine ecosystem. It's a critical link in the food web between the zooplankton it feeds on and the other Arctic fishes, seabirds, seals and whales that eat it. Arctic cod sometimes hide in the cracks underneath sea ice, or resides near drifting pans of ice.
If summer ice continues disappearing, one of the most important habitats of ice-associated copepods, amphipods and Arctic cod would be greatly affected. To what extent and how, researchers are working hard to find out.
Beluga whales, protected by a thick insulating layer of blubber, thrive in the icy Arctic and sub-Arctic waters of Canada, Alaska, Russia, Norway and Greenland. Of the 22 possible beluga populations in the Arctic, seven live in Canada's Arctic for at least part of the year.
Belugas travel between summer and winter grounds as sea ice breaks up or freezes and gather in large numbers during summer at specific estuaries, where the rivers meet the ocean. Studies by Canadian researchers suggest that belugas who return to the same estuaries tend to be closely related to each other. Satellite-linked transmitters (tags) attached to belugas are helping us better understand their seasonal movements, but there is still much to learn.
Visit our beluga AquaFacts
Several fish species have natural antifreeze proteins which bind to and inhibit growth of ice crystals in their body fluids. This is how fishes like Arctic cod and some sculpins thrive in water temperatures below 0°C.
Fish antifreeze is about 300 times more effective than conventional chemical antifreezes at the same concentrations. Ice cream manufacturers are using Arctic fish antifreeze proteins to avoid the formation of ice crystals during the cooling process. The antifreeze proteins have also been used successfully in the cold storage of sperm and other tissues, with applications in agriculture, wildlife conservation and medical research.

Pro Co RAT Solo Stomp Box Pedal
Pro Co RAT Solo Stomp Box PedalDetails
The SOLO is the newest member of the Pro Co family of stomp boxes.

With its enormous range of tones, 3 way selectable "hot, melt, & burn" modes, and highly interactive "scoop" and "tone" controls, the SOLO just might be the most versatile pedal in your arsenal.

Don't let the name fool you, the 100 analog SOLO is no one trick pony. It is equally at ease in both lead and rhythm capacities, and with a wide variety of amplifiers and guitars. Capable of going from vibey, chewy, warm low gain tones, to deliciously mean and crushing high gain tones, the Solo still remains remarkably true to the sound that matters most: The sound of you and your guitar. And speaking of staying true to the sound of your guitar, true-bypass switching ensures that when the pedal is off, there is no coloration of your sound.
Even in its highest gain settings, the SOLO remains extremely tube-like, articulate and touch sensitive. Complex chords ring out with clarity, leads sustain with ease. Roll back your volume knob and it cleans up, just like a good tube amp would.
The solo uses three pairs of carefully matched (or should we say, carefully mismatched) clipping diodes to produce asymmetrical clipping. The three pairs are accessible via the "hot, melt, burn" slider switch. This has the effect of making the SOLO clip very much like a tube amp going into natural power tube distortion.
Pro Co Sound also makes several other highly regarded effects including the popular RAT2, Turbo RAT, You Dirty RAT, and Deucetone. Each effect has its own unique tone structure.
- 100 analog signal path
- Pro Co's classic, virtually indestructible steel enclosure
- Heavy-duty, industrial footswitches, knobs, and jacks
- On/Off LED indicator
- Sloped face for easy stomping
- Glow in the dark graphics
- Military-spec glass-epoxy circuit board
- AC jack (RPS-1 power supply sold separately)
- "No tools required" battery compartment (9 volt not included)
- Five year limited warranty
The product price includes 6 years' warranty and 180 day money back guarantee.
However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
- Warranty is extended to 6 years from the date of delivery.
- Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
- Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years
- Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 6 years if it has not been used!

- If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
- The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

After studying abroad in Seville, Spain I noticed how import food is in the every day lives of people, especially when it's directly related to social interaction, friends and family. With this in mind, I've decided to create a weekly blog post simply devoted to "The Dish on Dining."
"The Dish on Dining" will feature favorite local restaurants and give the inside scoop on where to find delicious food around the Des Moines area! I'll eat my way through Des Moines as I take you with me to experience some of the stories, photos and great eats that I find along the way. I'm taking all the foot work out of finding great places to eat that will tantalize your taste buds, while not killing your pocket book.
Do you have any suggestions on where my next local stop should be? I'd love to hear your ideas. Post them below!
Until then, happy eating!

It grows increasingly more difficult to keep an open mind about relationships as the day unfolds. Although the impartial Libra Moon enables us to see both sides of an issue, her stressful aspects are rough as she reactivates the instability of yesterday's Mars-Uranus square. An emotionally restrictive Venus-Saturn conjunction widens the gulf between us and others while the Moon's shift into extreme Scorpio at 10:00 pm EDT adds to the isolation.

Hidden Objects: Animal Farm (best free Android apps for kids)
If you've got kid into hidden objects games this is a great one. Unfortunately only the first two screens are free, but the location of the objects changes every time and it's still a good challenge. (Took me a while, actually.)

Individuals who experience anxiety might turn to addictive behaviors to manage or avoid their anxiety symptoms, particularly by using prescribed benzodiazepine drugs. Addiction can occur in as little time as a few weeks, according to Christopher Hastings, MA, LSPE, director of outpatient services for the Foundations Recovery Network, speaking during an Addiction Professional webinar today.
Addiction is especially concerning when a patient with anxiety symptoms seeks medication therapy alone.
"A problem we have with most of our culture is that people are bypassing the psychologist and going to the primary care physician and relying heavily on medications, while not developing any other type of coping strategies that could be obtained through therapy," Hastings said.
The dangerous cycle of medication use, followed by relief, then the experience of subsequent symptoms might lead an individual to increase medication use. For example, Hastings said, someone with social anxiety might take additional doses of a benzodiazepine before a meeting at work, hoping to prevent his anxiety symptoms. By relying on medication, the individual doesn't develop other skills to relax and calm the body's nervous system.
"Even a minor experience of anxiety will become overblown," he said.
And the overuse of the medication can quickly lead to tolerance and addiction. However, some individuals who use prescription anti-anxiety medications without a clinical need for the treatment might eventually experience anxiety symptoms during withdrawal from the medication. Alcohol use and other drugs will exacerbate the addiction issue.
Treatment Recommendations
Rather than prescribing benzodiazepines, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or beta blockers, for example, Hastings recommends drug-free alternatives such as progressive muscle relaxation; mindfulness; guided imagery; hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy. Integrating the treatments will help patients deal with fear and stress that comes from all directions in today's fast-paced world. Managing the anxiety effectively will help stop the addiction.
"Medications are often used in the onset of treatment to help the person overcome the negative symptoms of anxiety," Hastings said. "It is very important to incorporate other forms of therapy and treatment so the individual learns to control their symptoms without the need for medication. Effective therapy is when the goal is to have the individual overcome their symptoms of anxiety without the use of medication."

I completely agree with this
I completely agree with this argument. The problem of underlying anxiety is not solved by going from one drug to another. The main problem in addressing anxiety with pharmaceutical grade medications is that they don`t heal the cause, but the effect. You firstly must identify the main factor for substance abuse and then address the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns. That`s why this type of therapy is not applicable nor healthy on its own.

'Bachelor In Paradise': Robby Hayes & More Shocked Over 'Serious' Corinne & DeMario Scandal
As details of Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson's alleged hookup that suspended filming on 'Bachelor In Paradise' continue to emerge, see what cast members from this season and seasons' past are saying about the shocking scandal.
Little by little, more and more Bachelor In Paradise franchise stars are taking to social media to comment on what allegedly went down between Corinne Olympios, 24, and DeMario Jackson, 30, while filming earlier this week. As we previously told you, the season 4 cast was sent home after production on the show was halted over the weekend, and Robby Hayes wasted no time returning to social media once he got his phone back. He posted a photo of himself on Instagram June 12, and although he didn't comment on the situation with the pic, eagle-eyed fans noticed a message he left in the comments section. "It's very serious and a super unfortunate situation," he wrote. "I am hopeful for the best."
Meanwhile, former Bachelor In Paradise cast member, Tanner Tolbert, who found love with Jade Roper on season 2 and wound up marrying her, also took to Instagram to write, "I feel bad for everyone involved…cast and crew…and that people are not going to be able to enjoy an experience that meant so much to us." Unsurprisingly, former show villain, Chad Johnson, who made waves on season 3, also made sure to comment. "TV Shows I've been on — 4. TV shows I've messed up so bad that they had to stop filming — 0," he wrote, along with another tweet trying to be funny: "I'm excited for Bachelor in Pornadise."
In case you haven't been following, here's what allegedly went down. Corinne and DeMario met on the first day of filming BIP and reportedly got very drunk, which led to a wild and raunchy hookup in the pool. While DeMario claims everything was consensual, Corinne was allegedly in no state to consent to what happened, which freaked out a show producer, who then filed a complaint, according to TMZ. While some sources say Corinne seemed "lucid and fully engaged" in the tape, TMZ reports that she claims she was 'blackout' when the DeMario hookup went down, and is blaming producers for not putting a stop to it before it got too far.
I'm heartbroken about BIP. 💔

So much fake news out there swirling around 🙄
— Jasmine (@jasminegoode24) June 12, 2017
'Little red corvette, you need to find a love that's gonna last.' ———————————————————– 📸@Spensergoodman @korchmarbags
A post shared by Robby Hayes (@roberthunter89) on
While Robby was quick to confirm that the situation was "serious," other Bachelor in Paradise castmates didn't seem too concerned — Jasmine Goode, Jack Stone, Alexis Waters, Astrid Loch and Iggy Rodriguez all looked carefree and happy in photos they posted to social media stories from the plane.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of the reaction to Corinne and DeMario's drama?

Stepping safely into a shower…
Climbing into a pool…
Walking along the beach…
Many prosthetic components are sensitive to moisture and can corrode prematurely if exposed to water for extended periods of time. What does that mean for the average amputee? Most lower limb amputees must maneuver precariously into showers, crawl into pools, and a trip to the beach is an ordeal. Fortunately, here are some options for lower limb amputees:
The Prosthetic Shower Bag
The most inexpensive way to protect a prosthetic limb from water is to apply a shower bag over the prosthesis, prior to water exposure. This bag slips over the prosthesis and extends beyond the prosthetic trim line: for a below knee amputee, the bag would cover the entire prosthesis and reach up to the user's thigh. There are several different bag designs, manufactured by several different companies. Most of these bags are not 100% waterproof, as moisture can enter through the top seal of the bag and can reach the prosthetic components inside. Shower bags are normally used for mild moisture exposure, such as walking during a rainy day or taking a stroll along a beach shoreline, and not complete water submersion. Dry Pro does make a waterproof prosthesis cover that incorporates a patented vacuum seal, which reportedly keeps the prosthesis completely dry. The Dry Pro bag is also designed with a non-skid foot bottom, for safer use in the shower.
· Low cost
· The bag works with the amputee's 'everyday prosthesis'
· Not ideal for prolonged exposure to water
· Not ideal for rigorous water activities
· Not durable
· Significant risk of accidental exposure to water
· Hygiene during showering
Target Users:
· Below knee prosthetic users
· Upper extremity prosthetic users
· Consumers wearing fracture casts
The most noteworthy disadvantage of the bag is that the prosthesis cannot be removed during showering. Ideally, once an amputee is safely in the shower, the prosthesis should be removed so that the residual limb can be cleaned.
Most insurance companies do not cover the cost of a shower bag and cost must be incurred by the user
Utilizing a Previous Prosthesis
Many amputees opt to make an old prosthesis a 'water prosthesis' by changing out certain components for more resistant materials, like using stainless steel screws. Some prosthetic feet are more resistant to moisture damage, such as the Seattle foot. Eventually, moisture does make its way into small crevices between plastics, or other materials, and corrosion will gradually occur.
· Reasonably lower in cost that obtaining a new, specialized 'water prosthesis'
· The prosthesis can be removed during showering
· Is more durable than a shower bag and better for more rigorous activities
· May allow for better ambulation during walking, as the prosthesis was originally designed primarily for this purpose
· Will eventually succumb to water exposure
· May no longer function adequately as a 'back-up prosthesis'
Some insurance companies may replace prosthetic components, such as a foot, depending on benefit guidelines.
Specialized 'Water Prosthesis'
The most ideal option for prosthetic users would be a prosthesis specifically designed for water activities. In this situation, every component would be chosen based on its resistance to water damage. Everything from socket design to alignment screws would be water resistant. Manufacturers have designed certain prosthetic components specifically for use in the water:
The 802 Nylon Knee, Aulie Devices Inc.
This is a lightweight, durable, nylon knee designed to be rugged and low maintenance. It contains a simple hydraulic control with a push-in manual lock. This knee allows above knee prosthetic users to ambulate with a functional knee during activities involving water, dirt, and even mud. It can be cleaned easily after use and is suitable for all functional levels.
The Activankle or Swimankle, Rampro
These are prosthetic ankle joints designed to be used during activities such as swimming, snow skiing, jet skiing, snowmobiling and rowing.
The Activankle allows for:
· Walking, when locked into walking position
· Unlimited dorsiflexion when unlocked
· Swimming with or without fins
· Flexion in a single axis without rotation or lateral shifting
· Movement without resistance
The Swimankle is similar to the Activankle, however is does not dorsiflex when unlocked and it does not include a protective cover. A protective cover is recommended when exposure to sand or dirt is involved.
Stompers, Stomper Products
Stompers are waterproof, round cups that are ideal for water activities where ambulation is not the primary activity. These round cups fit onto the bottom of the prostheses and are substitutes for standard foot designs.
Socket Designs
Socket designs that incorporate minimal mechanical components, such as a cushion silicone liner with a suspension sleeve, are ideal for 'water prostheses'. Pin locks tend to retain moisture and corrode over time.
The main advantages of specialized 'water prostheses' are:
· The prostheses are specifically designed for water activities and are, therefore, the most suitable option for such activities
The main disadvantages are:
· Expense
· The user must switch prostheses, depending on the activity, and must carry the 'everday prosthesis' along
Unfortunately insurance companies sometimes do not consider a 'water prosthesis' a medical necessity. A user may be able to justify medical necessity of such a prosthesis if one or more of these factors are evident:
· The prosthesis is primarily required for transferring safely in and out of the shower
· The user is a bilateral lower limb amputee
· There is sufficient physician and practitioner documentation detailing a history of instability during showering
· The user's amputation was due to a work related accident and prosthetic coverage is covered under a workers' compensation claim

lady's and gentleman this is not an actual debate but if you would like to judge you can but your words wont matter to me because she is amazing and beautiful
love yah bae
You hide behind your feelings
and keep the truth locked away,
but there is so much said
in the things you don"t say
You innocently tell me
our time has come and gone
and that we can"t go back
but I don"t believe it
and this time you"re wrong
The distance you put between us
is nothing more than time lost;
a place for your feelings to hide,
yet I can hear the love in your voice
each time we talk
My patience has no end
when it comes to loving you
and I will wait a lifetime
for you to see the truth
Real love doesn"t go away
it doesn"t fade into the past,
it goes on forever
and always finds its way back
I will wait a lifetime for you
because you are my soul,
and behind all of your doubt
I know you can"t let go
You are my soul,
and I am yours, too.
If two people were ever meant to be,
it"s me and you.

Following is the speech by the Financial Secretary, Mr Henry Tang, at the 2006 Hong Kong Awards for Industries presentation ceremony, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre this evening (February 5) (English only):
Professor Poon (Chung-kwong), Award winners, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
Good evening. I am most delighted to join you tonight on this special occasion to celebrate the achievements of our enterprises that have scaled new heights in different aspects of the Hong Kong Awards for Industries.
Industrialisation in the post-war years provided a fillip for Hong Kong to develop our manufacturing industries. As our economy matured and as the Mainland opened up in the late 70's, there was an excellent opportunity for Hong Kong industrialists to further expand into manufacturing-related and other services sectors. Today, our services sector has been doing well and accounts for over 90% of our GDP. But, the importance of manufacturing developments, in particular innovation, has not diminished. Instead, we are now witnessing an increasing integration of manufacturing and services.
The consolidation of the two previously separate award schemes on manufacturing and services industry into a unified scheme of the Hong Kong Awards for Industries in 2005 clearly reflects the transformation of Hong Kong's economy in this respect.
With the Mainland now emerging as the most vibrant economy in the world, we clearly see many opportunities ahead of us. Over the years, the Government has taken steps to facilitate the further integration of the two economies to the benefit of both economies, notably through the discussion and implementation of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement.
Meanwhile, the National 11th Five-Year Plan has for the first time unequivocally supported Hong Kong's development of its services industries such as financial services, logistics, tourism and information services; and the maintenance of Hong Kong's status as an international financial, trade, and maritime centre.
On our part, we must explore how Hong Kong can respond to the challenges and seize the opportunities arising from the 11th Five-year Plan. The Focus Groups set up after the Economic Summit on the "11th Five Year Plan and the Development of Hong Kong" have submitted their reports and proposed Action Agenda to the Chief Executive last month. Crafted in strategic, specific and practical terms, the Action Agenda represent a community-wide consensus on the strategic economic positioning of Hong Kong.
Implementing the Action Agenda will require concerted efforts of the Government, business sectors and the community at large. A major area highlighted by the Focus Group on Trade and Business was to build up a "Brand Hong Kong" culture – symbolizing high quality and cutting-edge products and services. With the dedication and tireless effort of our entrepreneurs in pursuing excellence, I am confident that Hong Kong products will continue to maintain our competitive edge.
The slogan of the 2006 Hong Kong Awards for Industries is "honouring excellence and applauding success" of Hong Kong enterprises. We want to commend and recognise in particular those who excel in the areas of product and equipment design, innovation, productivity, technological achievement, service to customers and environmental performance. Through recognizing pioneers in higher technology and value-added activities, the Awards will continue to play a key role in promoting production excellence here in Hong Kong.
In closing, I would like to congratulate the Award winners for the exemplary efforts you have put in. I also wish to thank the seven lead organisers and the judging panels for their hard work to bring forth this successful event. Thank you.

**this entry is dedicated to all the victims of Hurricane Sandy; my parents being on the top of that list**
There comes a time in our lives that we forget who we were in the past because we are so in tune with our image of who we are in the present and consumed with planning who we want to be in the future.
I read through these past blog entries, as if they are not my own. I notice how life has changed from year to year. And with this year coming to a close, I get lost in thought of what will come of the next year. And I plan.
Planning has never been my strongest suit. I always lived for the moment and whisked through the days carelessly, yet happily. I always floated through my career, letting the wind take me to where I'd end up next. Maybe it's a trait of being a Gemini; whimsical, precarious, flighty. I chose this life because the excitement of newness always kept my interest of wanting more change.
Nevertheless, I plan. I plan for the year ahead. I work on my entrepreneurial endeavors and ruminate on ideas of expanding. Corporate America is a place of my past. It taught me the best lessons in life. It sharpened my skills to be able to fix my real future. It also showed me exactly what I don't want out of life and took my inspiration of ideas of one day owning my own business and executed those dreams into my current reality. And now here, I hold in my hands the tools, as I build my mini empire.
While I plan, my parents rebuild what was destroyed in their lives. They reconstruct the past 40 years of hard work and dedication. They sail down and emotional roller coaster of change. They have watched their lives get washed away with one wave. But I have no doubt in my mind that they will stay up and raise their sails. We all witness the evolution of storm, in one way or another. But we do not all take on the strength needed to come up from it. Some weaken, get defeated and end up drowning. Others press on and keep fighting until they get what they want. Luckily my creators are the best example of survival and success.
And although, time has lapsed since my last entry, I have never stopped thinking. I am reminded daily of the inspiration surrounding me in my life. It's hard to be proud of the decisions that you make in life, if they do not bring you joy. The key to obtaining that joy is to first find your passions and loves in life. The rest will fall, like dominos. And although, history will make itself, just be mindful of precisely placing yourself in the right direction.

Congress candidate Nilanshu Chaturvedi was leading by 6,000 votes over his nearest BJP rival Shankar Dayal Tripathi at the end of the third round of counting in Chitrakoot Assembly bypoll in Madhya Pradesh.
The counting of votes polled in the November 9 by- election began at around 8 am amid tight security.
Chaturvedi was leading by 6,000 votes over Tripathi at the end of the third round of counting, an election official said.
Around 65 per cent voting was recorded in the bypoll necessitated following the death of sitting Congress MLA Prem Singh (65).
Singh had won the assembly constituency, bordering Uttar Pradesh, in the 1998, 2003 and 2013 elections.
However, he had lost the seat to BJP's Surendra Singh Gaharwar in the 2008 polls.
Though 12 candidates contested the by-election, the main fight was between Chaturvedi and Tripathi.

even non-cat people loved anubis, and i am not a non-cat person. i loved her with a strong and unreasoning love that made me worry about the fact that she would die long before it ever seemed likely...and now it's happened. i've got to make every effort i can to do justice to her memory. i'm going to gather some anubis resources here, for me and for anyone else who might want a window into the best cat ever.

Whistle-blower who prompted Operation Fernbridge says up to 40 MPs and peers knew about or took part in child abuse
More than 10 current and former politicians are on a list of alleged child abusers held by police investigating claims of a Westminster paedophile ring.
MPs or peers from all three main political parties are on the list, which includes former ministers and household names.
Several, including Cyril Smith and Sir Peter Morrison, are no longer alive, but others are still active in Parliament.
The existence of the list was disclosed by Peter McKelvie, the whistleblower whose claims prompted Operation Fernbridge, the Scotland Yard investigation into allegations of a paedophile network with links to Downing Street.
Mr McKelvie, a retired child protection team manager who has spent more than 20 years compiling evidence of alleged abuse by authority figures, said he believed there was enough evidence to arrest at least one senior politician.
It comes as David Cameron ordered the most senior civil servant at the Home Office to conduct a fresh investigation into what happened to a missing dossier on alleged paedophiles in Westminster in the 1980s.
The Prime Minister told Mark Sedwill, the Permanent Secretary at the Home Office, to "do everything he can" to clear up what happened to the file, which was handed to the then home secretary Leon (now Lord) Brittan by the late Geoffrey Dickens MP.
Separately Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said yesterday she would "examine the case" for a public inquiry into historical child abuse in public life, for which 139 MPs have now called.
Mr McKelvie, who helped bring the notorious paedophile Peter Righton to justice in 1992 when he worked in Hereford and Worcester child protection team, said: "I believe there are sufficient grounds to carry out a formal investigation into allegations of up to 20 MPs and Lords over the last three to four decades, some still alive and some dead. The list is there."
In a letter to his local MP Sir Tony Baldry last month, Mr McKelvie suggested that a further 20 MPs and Lords were implicated in the "cover-up" of abuse of children.
Mr McKelvie, who has compiled a dossier of evidence by speaking to alleged victims and care workers with whom they are in contact, does not suggest that any of the MPs and Lords colluded with each other.
It was as a result of information provided by Mr McKelvie that the Labour MP Tom Watson raised the issue of child abuse at Prime Minister's Questions in October 2012. He spoke of "clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and Number 10" that arose from the Righton case.
Following Mr Watson's intervention, the Metropolitan Police began Operation Fernbridge, an ongoing investigation into allegations of sex abuse at the Elm Guest House in Barnes, south London.
At least one witness is understood to have told police in the 1980s that he was abused by a Tory MP at the guest house when he was aged under 10, but the alleged victim has so far refused to give a sworn a witness statement to the police.
The Metropolitan Police has consistently said it is "not prepared to give a running commentary on Operation Fernbridge, which is an ongoing operation".
Earlier this week it emerged that a dossier on an alleged Westminster paedophile network compiled by the late MP Geoffrey Dickens went missing after it was handed to the former home secretary Lord Brittan in 1983.
Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP who raised questions about the dossier, said yesterday he had received a dozen new allegations naming the same politician this week.
He and six other MPs have written to Mrs May demanding a public inquiry, and in her reply Mrs May said "nothing has been ruled out", adding: "Once the criminal investigations have concluded, I will thoroughly examine the case for an inquiry into the matters you have raised."
Speaking about the Dickens dossier, the Prime Minister said he understood the concerns about the missing file.
He said: "That's why I've asked the permanent secretary at the Home Office to do everything he can to find answers to all of these questions and to make sure we can reassure people about these events.
"So it's right that these investigations are made. We mustn't do anything, of course, that could prejudice or prevent proper action by the police.
"If anyone has information about criminal wrong-doing they should, of course, give it to the police."
Yesterday The Daily Telegraph disclosed that a senior Tory who is being investigated as part of Operation Fernbridge was allegedly stopped by a customs officer with child pornography in the 1980s.
The customs officer who made the seizure can now be named as Maganlal Solanki, 76, who said at his home in Leicester yesterday: "I don't want to go over it all.
It's very disturbing for me. I've been told not to say anything by my department."
Asked about the senior Tory, who was never arrested over the alleged child abuse images seizure, Mr Solanki said: "Well, that is just a matter for him."

Geoffrey Dickens believed Parliament treated accusations of sex abuse lightly because influential people were involved and were determined to keep it quietTory MP Geoffrey Dickens, left, handed the dossier to Leon Brittan, who was the home secretary at the time
To MPs and Westminster journalists in the early 1980s, the disclosure that a dossier alleging an Establishment paedophile ring was presented to Leon Brittan, then home secretary, comes as no surprise.
Its purveyor was the Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens, a former heavyweight boxer and doughty investigator of what he believed to be a conspiracy to cover up sex abuse of children perpetrated by people in high places. He would have considered the apparent disappearance of the dossier as further confirmation of deliberate concealment.
Dickens, who died in 1995, became associated with the issue 14 years earlier when the magazine Private Eye disclosed that a senior diplomat and MI6 operative, Sir Peter Hayman, had escaped prosecution over the discovery of violent pornography on a London bus.
Furthermore, Hayman's name had been withheld from a trial involving members of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE).
The MP tabled a question to the Attorney General, Sir Michael Havers, naming Hayman under the cloak of parliamentary privilege.
In his reply, Havers confirmed that after a packet containing obscene literature and written material was found on a bus, the police uncovered "correspondence of an obscene nature" between Hayman and several other persons.
A total of seven men and two women were named as possible defendants in the report submitted by the Metropolitan Police to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The DPP decided not to prefer charges.Havers also denied there had been a deliberate decision to withhold the diplomat's name from a trial involving leaders of PIE accused of conspiracy to corrupt public morals."Although Sir Peter Hayman had subscribed to PIE, that is not an offence and there is no evidence that he was ever involved in the management.
At the trial, whilst there were general references to members of PIE, including, though not by name, Sir Peter Hayman, there was no reference to any material produced by him or found in his possession."In fact, Hayman was referred to by the name of Henderson.
To Dickens this was evidence of a deliberate cover-up by the prosecutors and he proposed to take the matter further.
He called a news conference at Westminster but was told on its eve that a newspaper was about to publish a story that he was having an affair. His mistress attended the news conference, where Dickens confessed to "a skeleton in my own cupboard" and a predilection for afternoon tea dances.
His paedophile campaign ran into the buffers of derision from the press and hostility from fellow parliamentarians, some of whom denounced his use of parliamentary privilege to name Hayman and accused him of grandstanding.
It is hard to imagine today, as celebrities from that era are brought before the courts for historic sex offences, that this matter was treated so lightly by Parliament.
Dickens believed this was because influential people were involved in the abuse and were determined to shut him up.In reality, it stemmed more from a startling indifference to what was then called "kiddy fiddling".
It was as though because it had always gone on, it was not something to get too worked up about.For his part, Dickens simply could not understand how an organisation such as PIE was allowed to exist.
He wrote to Margaret Thatcher asking for it to be banned and in November 1983 he handed a "massive dossier of evidence" to Leon (now Lord) Brittan, to press the case further. After a 30-minute meeting, Dickens claimed the home secretary "told me he would investigate all the cases in my file".
A few months later he produced further material alleging abuse in a children's home, which the Home Office now says is missing, presumed lost or destroyed.
Lord Brittan initially could not recollect the dossier but this week said he handed it to officials and proper action was taken.
What that was exactly is unclear; and certainly at the time, the home secretary decided against a ban on PIE and instead outlined a "three-step approach": asking chief constables to report to him, urging the DPP to "consider" prosecuting PIE members and warning parents to keep a close eye on their children.
This prompted criticism in the press.
One editorial said: "Wait and see is not a policy – it is an excuse. Mr Brittan should respond … with a blast of rage".Frustrated, Dickens brought a Bill before Parliament "to make it an offence to be a member of any organisation, association, society, religious sect, club or the like that holds meetings at which support is given to encourage, condone, corrupt or entice adults to have sexual relationships with children."
He added: "Adults in every walk of life are to be found involving themselves in paedophilia. They range from some of the highest in the land to misfits."
He pointed out that when Hayman was subsequently convicted of gross indecency in a public lavatory "there was a conspicuous silence in the House".
When he asked Mrs Thatcher whether the convicted spy Geoffrey Prime had been involved in child abuse, she replied: "I understand that stories that the police found documents in Prime's house or garage indicating that he was a member of PIE are without foundation."
But this was not true. At his trial, mostly held in secret, it was disclosed that Prime had indeed been detected as a spy through child offences and was a member of PIE.
Dickens added: "I know exactly what I am up against, for I know that within the Establishment there are those who would not wish to see a change in the law."
In the Commons in 1985, he said: "The noose around my neck grew tighter after I named a former high-flying British diplomat on the floor of the House … [and] as important names came into my possession so the threats began. First, I received threatening telephone calls followed by two burglaries at my London home.
Then, more seriously, my name appeared on a multi-killer's hit list."Dickens was convinced his house was burgled by MI5 but this was dismissed as the delusions of a frustrated conspiracy theorist.
At this time Westminster was rife with rumours about the involvement of senior politicians in sex abuse.
They included the Rochdale Liberal MP Sir Cyril Smith, whose name was often associated with such stories.Other MPs were suspected, among them Margaret Thatcher's parliamentary private secretary Sir Peter Morrison, who has been linked to allegations of child abuse at homes in North Wales.At one point during the 1980s, the scandal threatened to engulf the Home Office but newspapers were warned off pursuing unsubstantiated rumours.
As for Dickens, he would probably look at the climate today and wonder whether the justice currently being dealt out against some of the country's most famous figures will finally extend to some of its most powerful as well.

The Holmen School District says a high school educational assistant, Timothy Schilling, has been arrested on suspicion of charges related to sexual assault of a child.
According to the district attorney's office, Schilling is currently facing charges of first degree sexual assault, repeated first degree sexual assault of the same child and child abuse with the intent to cause harm.
The school district said based on information it received from law enforcement, there is no evidence the current charges involve the school district or its students. In a letter sent to parents, the district says the arrest will not interfere with its commitment to our student's education.
According to the district, the matter is being considered a confidential personnel matter. Schilling has been placed on unpaid leave and the determination of his continued employment with the district is under review.
The letter goes on to say the district will not comment any further on the personnel matter.
Tuesday afternoon, Schilling was released from the La Crosse County Jail on a $10,000 signature bond and several stipulations including no contact with minors. He is scheduled to return to court on December 6 according to the District Attorney's office.
