Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has admitted he is "worried" about Sergio Aguero after his star striker was stretchered out of today's 3-2 Barclays Premier League win over Southampton.
Aguero fell awkwardly following an early challenge by Nathaniel Clyne.
It was quickly obvious the Argentina forward was in some considerable pain and although he indicated a desire to continue, medical staff quickly decided the damage to his knee would make it impossible.
Mancini confirmed it will be 48 hours before City can make a proper diagnosis.
However, as with all such injuries, the fear Aguero may have damaged his cruciate ligaments is obvious.
"I am worried," said Mancini.
"We don't know how serious it is because we need to wait maybe two days for the scan.
"But usually the knee is dangerous.
"The injury was so strange because it was not a bad tackle. It was not strong.
"The good thing was that he wanted to try and play. But at the moment we can't say anything."
Mancini conceded that if the worst is confirmed later this week and Aguero is ruled out for an extended period, he may have to change his squad building plans.
He is still hoping to bring in a new face, with strong rumours linking him with Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi, although Mancini said he knew nothing of any developments.
"If it is a serious injury we will probably change our plans," said Mancini.
"But we need to wait. Maybe it will be one week or three or four weeks, after the international break."
Mancini also confirmed the complete absence of Adam Johnson from his matchday squad was to give the winger an opportunity to look for another club.
Johnson was at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon and trained with a number of team-mates after the match had finished.
However, he has become tired of being a bit-part player with the Blues, although Mancini insisted he has no axe to grind against Johnson, who started England's midweek win over Italy in Berne.
"Adam is a young guy," said Mancini.
"He is a good player and he wants to play.
"In these 10 days, if we find a good solution for him and he can go to play, maybe it is better.
"I don't know about a loan. We have two or three situations. We are talking with him about this.
"But if he stays here I don't have a problem."
It formed additional talking points from yet another 3-2 win, which matched exactly both the scoring sequence and ends the goals were scored in from that momentous title-winning triumph over QPR in May.
The only difference was that on this occasion, City also missed a penalty, a woeful attempt by David Silva when the game was still goalless.
Carlos Tevez broke the deadlock just before the break, then Southampton substitutes Rickie Lambert and Steve Davis hit back to threaten a shock win for the newly-promoted outfit.
However, their lead lasted just four minutes as Edin Dzeko levelled - just as he did against QPR - before Samir Nasri drove home the winner 10 minutes from time.
"We didn't play well and we didn't defend well," said Mancini.
"But it is not always their fault.
"When a team like us has 10 chances to score, you should close the game.
"The second half I think we played so-so for many reasons and the players were so-so."

no longer something i can arise with would be funnier than the common, schizoid, misinformed, sensationalistic pigsh*t that by threat and purposely spills from the mouth of Glenn Beck. each little thing that pours out from this fleshy deskjockey is finished to garner interest from the already frightened elderly component of our inhabitants. it truly isn't any ask your self that an A.D.D. alcoholic (supposedly alcoholic) could host a nonsensical, propaganda-weighted down teach. have you ever heard his radio teach?? He feels like a 6 year old that's been became loose after eating 10 lbs of sugar. Calling his habit "spastic" is putting it mildly.
Karl Rove
None on Fox are as obnoxious or rude as Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, that liberal/democrat cable news network, they are worse than CNN, another liberal/democrat news outfit. Fox journalists and pundits provide counterpoints to your worldview and you cannot stand it, you cannot argue either as evidenced by throwing out the "liar" insult without backing it up. I hear facts stated on Fox, this must disturb you.
Anderson Cooper lost to a comedian on Jeopardy.
It's not Fox News.
It's Faux News. Like the Daily Show, with more laughs per minute.
Glen Beck gets under my skin, BUT his shows are ALWAYS truthful.

SanEcoTec brings global best practices to solve North American problems.
Some of our technologies originated in Europe and we have strong ties to the EU where water quality standards are leading edge.
By necessity Europe has developed an advanced set of methods for analyzing, evaluating and treating water to meet large population needs and environmental requirements borne over the centuries of their existence.
Europe's approach is that they need cleaner water, because when it goes back into their source supply they have fewer water resources to treat and need to keep water clean by necessity. There is little they can waste.
As a result, Europe has less water-borne disease and creates fewer by-products through their treatment methods. Europe's laws are tougher on the quality of water and as a result, European water is among the best water in the world.
SanEcoTec has developed a know-how applying these technologies, adhering to a higher standard in each of its consulting assignments to provide superior solutions to longstanding challenges.
Our advanced Water Profiling and diagnostics, combined with innovative approaches, provide useful insight in developing sustainable water management strategies.

Recently, I was in a restaurant that had an outdoor room, with a closed canvas canopy above that had black and white stripes on it. I looked to see what time it was and noticed this crazy reflection the canopy was having on the ceramic bezel insert on my Single Red SEA-DWELLER. It almost made it look like it had a fluted bezel. Interesting...
Incase you did not notice, I have been keeping a diary on my experience with the Single Red SEA-DWELLER, which offers insight into wearing it long term.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. v. Conor McGregor
When Worlds Collide
The Hybrid Fight Of The Century
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Conor McGregor
Back in 2015 I covered the Mayweather v. Pacquiao fight, which was fascinating! The boxing world is about to witness one of the most interesting and seemingly impossible matches in history! When I was a kid, I used to wonder if Muhammad Ali fought Bruce Lee, who would win? But back then, boxing was boxing and Karate was not. But now worlds are colliding, and we have a new genre of fighting, which is upon us and known as 'Combat Sports'.
Having the top MMA fighter go up agains the top boxer reminds me of the 1972 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Commercial from my childhood, which exclaimed, "Hey, you got chocolate in my peanut butter!?!!"
Tonight the world is about to see the five division boxing champion (WBC, WBO, WBA & Ring Welterweight Champion) Floyd Mayweather Jr, in a boxing match against Conor McGregor, who is the current UFC Lightweight Champion, and former UFC Featherweight Champion, who began his career as a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and a featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight.
So how did this all come about? It all began on Conan O'brien's show back in 2015, when Conan asked Conor McGregor "What if you were in the ring with Floyd Mayweather, what do you think would happen?" Watch the video below to learn about Conor's answer...
One thing Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Conor McGregor have in common is they both wear and have HUGE Rolex collections. This fight could almost be named, "Rolex v. Rolex."
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Yellow Gold Rolex Sky-Dweller
42MM Reference 326938 Calibre 9001
In the photo below we see undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather wearing his Rolex Sky-Dweller, which is one of many, many Rolex watches in his collection. Mayweather's career achievements are amazing with 49 wins and Zero losses, and 26 of his wins were by knock-out!!! This Saturday evening in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather will be going for his 50th professional career win against Irish UFC Champion, Conor McGregor, and he claims he intends to retire after the fight. Floyd Mayweather is pictured below wearing his Rolex Sky-Dweller.

The Story of Elvis Presley's Rolex King Midas [Part 1 or 4]
I originally published this story back in 2008. This week represents the 40th Anniversary of Elvis Presley's passing, so I thought it would be great to get in the Rolex Time Machine, and explore the wonderful world of The King.
The King's King
Elvis Presley
Rolex King Midas
Elvis Presley
Rolex King Midas
I would like to thank Graceland for their extremely kind and gracious assistance with taking the exclusive photos of Elvis Presley's Limited Edition Rolex King Midas for Jake's Rolex Watch Blog. Elvis Presley is known as The King of Rock & Roll. Elvis Presley changed the world with his amazing music. Elvis was extremely handsome, charismatic and ultra-talented.
Very few people knew Elvis wore a Rolex, but it was not just any Rolex. Elvis wore a limited edition Rolex King Midas (Model Reference Number 9630) which Rolex only made 1000 examples of. The King Midas at the time was the most expensive Rolex money could buy. As a matter of fact, in 1970 a Rolex Day-Date retailed for $1825 and a King Midas retailed for $2500. In 1975 a Day-Date retailed for $3300 and a King Midas retailed for $5500.
This very, very rare limited edition Rolex King Midas was given to Elvis as a token of appreciation for playing 6 days of sold-out concerts in 1970 at the Houston Astrodome Livestock Show & Rodeo.
Elvis is pictured above with his Rolex King Midas in his right hand along with the special Rolex King Midas case that was shaped like an urn.
The following photos were recently taken by a Graceland photographer exclusively for Jake's Rolex Watch Blog. This first image has Elvis Presley's Limited Edition Yellow Gold Rolex King Midas on top of Elvis & Priscilla Presley's wedding bible. Lisa Marie Presley is in the photo with her father, Elvis Presley kissing her head. All the artifacts in these Graceland photos personally belonged to Elvis.
The Return of The King
As always, you can click on the images to get a better view.
Elvis' beautiful Limited Edition Rolex King Midas is pictured above with matching trademark custom Sunglasses. His custom 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Colt 45 is pictured on the left. In the photo below you see Elvis' Diamond TCB (Taking Care of Business) pendant and on the far right you see Elvis' Denver Police Captain's badge next to his Hamilton watch.
In the 1970s Elvis became obsessed with Kung Fu and collecting badges. In Part 3 of The Story of Elvis Presley's Rolex King Midas we will explore Elvis' obsession with badges.
Elvis wore his Limited Edition Rolex King Midas quite a bit and it appears he wore it swimming or in a hot tub because it appears to have water damage on the dial. The King Midas was a hand wound watch that was not an Oyster.
Rolex made 1000 Original King Midas watches and Elvis owned and wore number 343, which ironically was a left handed special for south paws. The back in engraved and reads "To Elvis Presley From The Houston Livestock Show Officers 1970."
The original Limited Edition King Midas was NOT a Rolex Cellini. It had a standard Rolex Midas designation. The words King Midas were engraved on the side of the watch as seen below, and had a winding crown that was shaped like the sun.
When Rolex originally introduced the King Midas in the early 1960s it was the heaviest gold watch money could buy. Years later, Piaget came out with a model named the Piaget Polo that was three grams heavier.
The clasp had KING MIDAS BY ROLEX OF GENEVA etched into the clasp as seen below on Elvis' watch.
In Part 2 of The Story of Elvis Presley's Rolex King Midas, we will look closer at the design details of the Rolex King Midas.
I am currently researching some other Rolex watches that may have been owned by Elvis, but I am not certain they exist. I have some good leads, but I cannot confirm any of them yet. The watch below is a Rolex that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker allegedly gave Elvis as a Christmas gift, but I cannot confirm its authenticity. If you have photos of Elvis wearing a Rolex, please send them in and I will put them up.
In Chapter 2 named, The Midas Touch we will take a closer look at the Rolex King Midas Limited edition watch and discover its ethos.

ALL Single Red SEA-DWELLERS
EVERY Single Red SEA-DWELLER
All-New Article From Perezcope.com
My good friend and fellow historian, Jose from Perezcope just published an amazing new article named, "ALL SINGLE RED SEA-DWELLERS, SIDE BY SIDE", which is exactly that, a detailed comparison of every known Single Red SEA-DWELLER. Jose and I have been talking about this article for some time now, and to finally see it and read it, is AWESOME!!! Below is a graphic from Jose's article, that shows the 11 known examples of Single Red SEA-DWELLER models, along with Philippe-Pierre Cousteau's Double Red SEA-DWELLER which likely began its life as a Single Red, but received a replacement dial from Rolex. These 11-12 models are so rare, today they are probably worth around $750,000 each. Are there undocumented Single Red prototypes out there? Probably, and you can bet that if and when they surface, Jose will add them to his growing database.
A Dozen Known Examples Of Ultra Rare Rolex Single Red SEA-DWELLER Prototype Models Pictured Above
Jose and I worked together extensively on his most recent poster titled, "History Of The Rolex SEA-DWELLER: Rolex's Conquest Of The Ocean", which can be seen below in its finished form. Just to be clear, I contributed all of my knowledge, and a great teal of feedback on the layout details, but Jose did 100% of the graphics on the poster, so I really played a small role compared to Jose.
In working with Jose, I have learned so much from him. Jose is basically what I call a "Horological Forensics Expert", and I remember the first time he told me "Data never lies". As a matter of fact, the reason Jose began making detailed timelines, was not because he wanted to make the most awesome Rolex and Panerai poster, but because he wanted to plot all of the data he had collected on these watches. Some of his findings in his article are really deep and insightful.
Since Jose is an advanced graphic artist who tends to pay a tremendous amount of attention to detail, he quickly noticed how beautiful his timelines were, and realized he really was created a work of art, as seen in the poster above. Be sure to check out Jose's story that features and documents all known Single Red SEA-DWELLERS...

On a side note, I have been keeping a diary of observations on the all-new 2017 Single Red SEA-DWELLER, which is an homage of sorts to the original Single Red SEA-DWELLER. I say 'homage of sorts', as Rolex is quick to point out the all-new model is not an homage, per se, but a modern interpretation of the SEA-DWELLER which has a historical nod to The 50th Anniversary of the Rolex SEA-DWELLER.

The French Connection: French Rolex Presidents...
French Rolex Presidents
When I think of the term, the Rolex President, I typically think about American Presidents wearing Rolex, but in this case we are going to take a look at French Presidents wearing Rolex. The 1964 Rolex ad showcases Rolex's worldview at the time.
Valéry Giscard d'Estaing
French President 1974-1981
First we see Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, wearing a two tone Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet. Jacques Chirac was the Prime Minister of France under Valéry Giscard d'Estaing.
François Mitterrand
French President 1981-1995
I am fairly certain François Mitterrand wore a Rolex, but I have not been able to find a photo of him wearing one. That being said, in the photo below taken by Marc Riboud in 1974 we see François Mitterrand looking at Michel Rocard's Rolex at an event in Paris. Michel Rocard served as François Mitterrand's Prime Minister from 1988 to 1991.
Jacques Chirac
French President 1995-2007
Next we see Jacques Chirac, sporting his stainless steel Rolex Datejust on a matching jubilee bracelet. Jacques Chirac served as the President Of France from 1995 to 2007.
The photo below shows Jacques Chirac in 2014 at age 81, still wearing his stainless steel Rolex Datejust.
Nicolas Sarkozy
French President 2007-2012
French President 2007-2012
In the 1981 photo below, taken long before either was elected president of France, we see Jacques Chirac with his young protege, Nicolas Sarkozy, who went on to become a future President of France from 2007 to 2012.
I remember when Nicolas Sarkozy was elected President of France, and I noticed he wore a black dial and a white dial Rolex Daytona as seen below. I though he was really cool. I also noticed that Nicolas Sarkozy wore a white gold Patek Philippe [Reference 3940], which I wrote a story about on Jake's Patek Phillips World. I simply thought the Sarkozy had great taste in watches.
Nicolas Sarkozy's taste in watches caused a huge controversy in France, when one of his close friends named, Jacques Seguela was quoted as saying: "If you don't have a Rolex by the time you reach 50, then you have clearly failed in your life.."
I am NOT an expert this subject, but I think it is worth exploring. Basically, in February 2009, while Sarkozy was the President of France, apparently some of Sarkozy's advisers told him to tone down his 'bling' image by refraining from wearing Rolex watches and Ray-Ban sunglasses in public. this was just after the huge worldwide economic downturn that had a strong effect on France.
Somebody created a FAKE Rolex advertisement that featured Sarkozy wearing a yellow gold GMT-Master on his wrist, along with matching gold Ray-Ban Sunglasses.
Somebody created a FAKE Rolex advertisement that featured Sarkozy wearing a yellow gold GMT-Master on his wrist, along with matching gold Ray-Ban Sunglasses.
This FAKE Ad is interesting as Sarkozy has never been seen wearing a yellow gold watch. He only wears stainless steel or white gold watches.
This false internet meme caused a lot of commotion. Nicolas Sarkozy's friend, Jacques Seguela was asked what he thought about Sarkozy taste in wearing expensive jewelry, and Seguela responded, "So what if he owns a Rolex, we can't blame him for that. Everyone has a Rolex. If you don't have a Rolex by the time you reach 50, then you have clearly failed in your life."

Everyone has a Rolex. If you don't have a Rolex by the time you reach 50, then you have clearly failed in your life."
After Jacques Seguela made this statement, all hell broke loose in France. The President of Sarkozy's own UMP party responded by saying "It's ridiculous to say owning a Rolex is a mark of success in life." A French newspaper named 'France-Soir' responded by saying, "There is a global financial crisis and people are struggling to make ends meet. Most workers will find this highly offensive." A French news website responded by saying, "This remark is obscene. We would like to shove Seguela's own Rolex down his throat." This statement was kind of ironic in the fact that Seguela does not own or wear Rolex watches.
It is a fact that Jacques Seguela played matchmaker by introducing Nicolas Sarkozy to his gorgeous wife, Carla Bruni, who is a famous singer.
In retrospect it is clear to see the big deal that was made at the time about Nicolas Sarkozy's excellent taste in watches, was, as Shakespeare put it, "Much ado about nothing." At the time, the worldwide economic downturn was very real and I don't mean to discredit the way many people felt at the time. My point is that I think Sarkozy is handsome and looks cool with his Ray-Bay Aviators. To me he typically looks like he just stepped out of a GQ photo shoot.
As far as Rolex being the International Mark Of Success, I think it is all relative. Speaking of successful men who wear Rolex, Warren Buffett's notion that "Success is getting what you want, while happiness in about wanting what you get."
In the photo below, we see Nicolas Sarkozy wearing a non-chronograph Rolex with a black dial, which appears to be either a vintage Milgauus, or a Datejust.
In the next photo we see Nicolas Sarkozy wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust which appears identical to the one Jacques Chirac wears.

Global Cleanroom Luminaires Market 2017-2021
Nov 14, 2017, 19:36 EST
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- About Cleanroom Luminaires
A cleanroom is an enclosure that is environmentally controlled in terms of the number of airborne particulates, air pressure, temperature, humidity, static charges, airflow patterns and motion, as well as lighting. The adhesion of particles to surfaces is prevented to obtain high-quality and reliable electronic end-products. The degree of cleanliness of a cleanroom depends on the number of particles contained in a unit volume of air, for instance, per cubic meter of air. Therefore, smaller the cleanliness class, higher the grade, which implies less dust in the cleanroom. The ISO cleanliness standard 14644 was established in 2000. This standard replaced the US FS-209D E (Federal Standards). However, the US standard is still used in certain cleanrooms to determine cleanliness.

text: SANTIAGO, CHILE — MISSING COMMUNISTS. Forty people, including a retired air force general who is a former member of the ruling junta, face charges in the disappearance of 13 leaders of the Communist Party in 1976. They allegedly were killed by a death squad that drew most of its members from the air force. Judge Carlos Cerda, a civilian, charged Gen. Gustavo Leigh and the others, 22 of them military officers, with illegitimate deprivation of freedom and membership in an unlawful association. The Supreme Court spent a week investigating the communists' disappearance in 1977. The case was reopened in 1984 when an air force corporal who had deserted gave information about the death squad.

Vampirism, Satanism, hard electro, black metal, harsh noise!!! I could go on and on and attempt to place this fast paced, dance inducing band into some type of category only to turn around and find something else to put them under. So many different styles here, I can't limit them to just one. Well, I can try…Great damn, scary, freaking jams!
This Italian-U.K. based band has been spewing forth evil rooted filth since 1998 with their "Nuns are Pregnant" release and their full length albums "Evil Generation" and "No One Here Gets Out Alive" (which reached the top 10 charts in the U.K.). These guys really know how to get it done, Satan style. And now, their new release, "Fuck Off and Die" is sure to please even the darkest of souls and coldest of hearts.
Starting off with an intro by In Slaughter Natives is a perfect way to begin. Then moving right into the album's title cut "Fuck Off and Die" you begin to realize that these guys aren't going to slow down, not even for a second. Your heart is racing and you feel like you just slammed 10 double shot espressos. You begin to sweat while the beats seem to take complete control of your body. Incredible.
Dancing on, you get to the track "Footjob Addiction". The amazing samples and beautiful beats of this one really keep you moving and you think to yourself, "holy crap! I'm not even half way through this yet!" But wait. This next, sure to blow you away, track, "Far From Humans" features Suicide Commandos (have you heard these guys? Wow!). Darkly genius.
This is the part where you need a drink! Go ahead. We can wait.
Did you grab a BIG glass? You're going to need it. Alright…
Moving on we reach the cut "Lesbian Nuns Suck Me Dry". This one's my favorite. If the title to this one doesn't catch your attention then you're reading the wrong review. The, pushed all up in your face, vocals are a little hard to understand, but the style, fast tempo and screaming synths, definitely display their black metal influence. I don't think I can fully describe how disgustingly gorgeous this track really is.
Finally, we reach the last cut on this fun-filled, devil-driven, seizure-causing, foaming at the mouth, full-length, filthy composition of grotesque expression to date, "Fuck Off and Die remix" by NOISUF-X. What a way to end this, in absolute perfection. It's that certain kind of track that leaves you wanting more and all you can do is start the whole thing over again. And this is when you ask yourself, "Will I survive it a second time?"
I say, go ahead and try.
If I haven't convinced you to go and grab a copy of this fresh off the press CD release, you can check out some of their death cult material on the web: http://www.myspace.com/alienvampires666

Saturn's elusive rotation path revealedDecember 14th, 2007 - 4:45 pm ICT by admin
Paris, Dec.14 (ANI): A team of European scientists has claimed that it is close to understanding what prompts the Planet Saturn to rotate.
Using data retrieved from the Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument on the spacecraft Cassini, the scientists claimed in their report, which was published in one of the issues of Nature this week, that electrically charged particles were trapped in the planet's magnetic field and released radio waves with frequencies around 100 kilo Hertz. This enabled them to monitor the planets rotation rate.
They said that the magnetic field itself is generated deep inside the planet, so watching the variation of the radio emission as the magnetic field sweeps around can reveal the planet's rotation rate.
Using nine months worth of data from NASA's Voyager spacecraft, which flew past the planet during the 1980s, planetary scientists calculated Saturn's rotation period to be 10 hours 39 minutes 24 seconds, with an uncertainty of 7 seconds.
Repeating the measurement over 15 years later, the Ulysses spacecraft discovered that Saturn's period of radio emission varied and most recently, the Cassini spacecraft found the planet apparently rotating in 10 hours 45 minutes 45 seconds, with an uncertainty of 36 seconds.
According to the scientists, it is inconceivable that a planet could have slowed down by six minutes in a few decades.
As well as this long-period variation, Cassini's near continuous observations have also shown that the rotation rate seemed to vary by as much as one percent in a week.
The scientists forwarded two models to explain the variations in the radio emission period.
Firstly, that the wind of electrically charged particles given off by the Sun, the so-called solar wind, impacted the magnetic field, causing the radio emission to vary due to the variation of the solar wind speed.
Secondly, particles from the geysers on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus were affecting the magnetic field, causing it to drag around Saturn.
Now, after further careful analysis, Cassini's data strongly implicates the solar wind as the source of at least some of the radio period variation.
It shows that there is a characteristic variation in the behavior of the short-period radio emission every 25 days.
"This immediately points to the Sun because it is the rotation rate of the Sun as seen from Saturn," says Philippe Zarka, CNRS, Observatoire de Paris, France, who led the research.
Zarka and colleagues analysed the properties of the solar wind and found that the speed variation of the wind is probably responsible.
It does not vary completely randomly but instead follows a saw-tooth pattern, first building up in speed and then suddenly slowing down.
The work is not finished yet because the long-period variation must still be explained.
The team is now seeing if they can remove the effects of the solar wind and deduce the true rotation rate of Saturn, a key piece of information to understand Saturn's atmosphere and interior.
Knowledge of the planet's true rotation rate will allow planetary scientists to compare observations taken years apart and calculate the true wind speeds on the planet. (ANI)

UG worker dies in accident
At the hospital his wife, children and UG staff were there hoping that Latchman Sukdeo would pull through but those hopes were dashed when the doctors told relatives that their best efforts failed to save his live.
Sukdeo a long service University of Guyana staff was on his way to work when his motorcycle collided with a forklift, which was loading metal at the corner of Lamaha and Delph streets.
Residents said Fred, as he is popularly known, suffered a gash to his neck and he was bleeding heavily when he was rushed to the Balwant Singh Hospital.
Reports surrounding the accident are conflicting with eyewitnesses at the worksite saying that the man lost control of his motorcycle, but persons close to the man said he was one of the most careful riders.
As word got around his wife Monica and son rushed to the scene to get word on what transpired but they were provided with little information.
The woman said Sukhdeo took the normal route to work. Monica said her husband left his Station Street Kitty home for the University of Guyana a little after 8:00. She said about 10 minutes after she got a phone that he was involved in an accident.
By the time the police arrived on the scene the owners of the company had already removed the forklift from the accident scene and placed it back in the yard. Sukdeo's motorcycle was left some distance away from the scene. The entire accident was captured on tape and that could help the police investigations.
UG staff, union representatives all converged at the hospital to give support to Sukdeo wife and children and they spoke of the impact his death will have at the university.
Sukdeo worked in the bindery section at the University for over three decades. He was 51.

The other day a father talked with wonderment about his 11-year-old daughter, Sheila: It seemed that his daughter just couldn`t get enough of what life had to offer. ``I remember when she was 9,`` he said, ``how we became concerned about the number of activities she was taking on. She was into dancing, playing the guitar, swimming competitions -- you name it. One day her mother and I sat down with her and suggested she let up on a few of her interests and concentrate on a couple of her favorites. No way. She shook her head, looked us straight in the eye, and said, `I want to do it all!```
Was she highly competitive? ``Not really,`` her father said. ``She enjoys competitions, but if she loses, she`s philosophical about it. She just seems to thrive on all the things there are to be done.``
Sheila was the fourth of five children, it turned out, and she grew up on a farm in New Jersey. The family was closely knit, working the farm as a full- time job in which all the children were expected to share in the work.
The city-dweller`s romantic notion of country living is usually far from the facts; it can be as backbreaking and heartbreaking as any other kind of work. All the same, it can bring with it something we all need if we are to feel the fullness of life: a deep-rooted sense that we have a place in the order of things.
``For her first three years in the small school she went to -- kindergarten, first and second grade -- Sheila had the same teacher, and she was fantastic,`` her father said.
``She was a caring, loving, down-to-earth woman who seemed as full of curiosity about life as Sheila herself. She knew how to set limits, and she had high expectations for her children, but I think that was because she had high expectations from life and knew that self-discipline is an important part of our becoming all that we can be ... and finding the joy that comes with that becoming. She loved Sheila and Sheila loved her. She was a remarkable woman, and those first school years certainly played an important part in the way Sheila has come to look at life.``

Poster C3, Sunday, March 25, 1:00-3:00 pm, Exhibit Hall C
Implicit temporal orienting of attention is preserved in healthy aging
Hunter Johndro1, Monica Lyons1, Aniruddh D. Patel1, Elizabeth Race1; 1Tufts University
Temporal predictions can increase attention to particular points in time and optimize behavioral performance. Temporal orienting has been proposed to occur in two distinct manners (Coull & Nobre, 2008). Explicit (endogenous) orienting occurs in a top-down, voluntary manner when symbolic cues explicitly direct attention in time. Implicit (exogenous) orienting occurs in an automatic, bottom-up manner when rhythmic or temporally-structured stimuli implicitly direct attention in time. In young adults, both explicit (Rohenkohl et al., 2011, 2012) and implicit (Escoffier et al., 2010; Kunert & Johngman, 2017; Large & Jones, 1999) temporal orienting have been shown to entrain neural oscillations and enhance perception. However, the extent to which temporal orienting is preserved in older adults is a matter of debate. Evidence from explicit orienting tasks has been mixed (Chauvin et al., 2016; Zanto & Gazzaley, 2014), and little is known about the status of implicit temporal orienting. The current study tested whether implicit temporal orienting is preserved with age by having younger and older adults perform a visual discrimination task in the context of background, rhythmic music or in silence. In both groups, discrimination was faster for stimuli appearing at predicted (on-beat) compared to unpredicted (off-beat) moments in time. This effect was greatest in individuals with better capacities to discriminate musical beats. These results indicate that implicit temporal orienting of attention can be preserved in aging. Future work can investigate whether these individual differences in implicit temporal orienting reflect age-related variability in neural entrainment to rhythm (Henry et al., 2016).

The Issue
Every day, over 1 million packages shipped into the United States from China, Russia, India and other foreign countries go mostly unchecked for dangerous and illegal contents. As we work to keep America safe from another terrorist attack, a security loophole is leaving our communities and families vulnerable to terrorists and bad actors mailing dangerous foreign objects into the country. Because of this loophole, U.S. intelligence and law enforcement receive no advance electronic security data to screen hundreds of millions of the packages that flow into the United States from foreign countries each year.
This loophole allows illegal drugs, counterfeit goods, and other unsafe packages to make their way into our neighborhoods, threatening our families and opening us up to unexpected attacks. As both a national security issue and a public health threat, this gaping hole creates an easy path for children and others to go online and access deadly illegal drugs like fentanyl from countries such as China, Russia and India, fueling a national health epidemic. It also allows terrorists and other bad actors in foreign countries to have direct, unchecked access to our communities and homes. And U.S. businesses are confronting an influx of counterfeit medicine and other goods – all through the global postal system.
The Facts
- Over 1 million packages enter the U.S. from foreign countries every day without advance electronic data.
- Over 28 million packages enter the U.S. from foreign countries every month without advance electronic data.
- Over 340 million packages enter the U.S. from foreign countries every year without advance electronic data.
Under the Trade Act of 2002, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection should receive advance manifest data on packages entering the U.S., but they currently do not when these packages are shipped via foreign postal services such as China Post, India Post or Russia Post. This data is used by Customs and Border Protection and many other government agencies to target and screen out high risk items. The Air Cargo Advance Screening System (ACAS) took another step to bolster the data program by specifically targeting dangerous goods. While the private sector quickly conformed, foreign posts again have yet to implement these steps.
Our Goal
With the rise of e-commerce, it is easier than ever to get goods from China, India and other foreign countries with the click of a button. We want to close this loophole that's harming U.S. small businesses by letting foreign bad actors ship in unchecked counterfeit goods. And we need to make sure that foreign posts are playing by our security rules when shipping packages that will ultimately be delivered into our communities. We need President Trump and Congress to insist that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of the Treasury keep our communities safe and enforce the law by requiring foreign posts to submit customs and advance electronic data for shipments imported to the United States. By closing this security gap, we can identify and stop illegal substances before they end up in our country and keep our communities safe from terrorists and other foreign bad actors.

Rumor: Is Gears of War Studio, Epic Games, Making an MMO?
Epic Games, the studio behind the Unreal Engine and the blockbuster Gears of War series, is currently looking to add some new employees to their staff. They recently posted a job listing for Senior Systems Designers for two projects currently in the works.
One project is Fortnite, the cartoony survival game they announced at the Spike TV VGAs back in December of 2011. The other, though, is "an unannounced competitive online action game that includes player progression, heavy itemization, and a dynamic economy."
The description has led some people, like the folks at GameSkinny, to wonder if this will turn out to be a new MMO, some even going as far as to speculate about a potential Gears of War MMO. While a Gears of War MMO seems unlikely, the description certainly points toward some sort of multiplayer shooter, potentially a new MMOFPS.
The listing also claims the ideal candidate will have "Experience and Passion for building and/or playing Shooters, MMO's, RPG's, or RTS games." While the first three of the listed game genres would lend credence to the idea of an MMOFPS, the mention of the real-time strategy genre points to something a bit different. A MOBA perhaps?
Whatever this project ends up being, it's probably safe to assume it will be built in Unreal 4 and will show up on next-gen consoles. We'll give you more details as we learn them.

Kate Middleton "trying out" series of police protection officers!September 28th, 2008 - 2:18 pm ICT by ANI
London, September 28 (ANI): Prince Williams love interest Kate Middleton is presently interrogating several police protection officers to discover the one she is most comfortable with.
Chased by the paparazzi at various events and exposed to potentially dangerous situations, Wills and Prince Charles have decided to pay for the 26-year-olds protection.
Hence, Kate has reportedly been directing her series of questions towards the security officers attributing compatibility as one her priorities.
"Having a protection officer is a very close relationship and it is vital to get it right," Telegraph quoted a security source, familiar with the situation at Clarence House, as saying.
"The officer is the person with whom you can end up spending most time and it can be a nightmare if it is someone you can"t get along with," the source added. (ANI)

While we eagerly await the Chancellor's Autumn Statement it is clear, from speaking to a wide variety of CAB members across the Association, that October 2016 is very much seeing a return to 'business as usual'. This only adds weight to the underlying confidence in the aluminium in building sector that I reported in August with 60% net balance of CAB members (Q2) forecasting growth in Q3. CAB itself can confirm the above with new members committed to joining in the coming weeks and months – however, it is becoming increasingly apparent that we need to protect both our members and the integrity of the Association more than ever before.
CAB Logo Misuse
We always welcome new members to the Association and make a point of doing our best to ensure that they are maximising their membership benefits, one of which is very obviously utilising the CAB. However, sadly we are also seeing an increasing misuse of logos including our own. The Association has acted swiftly twice in recent months to ensure that rogue use of our logo was dealt with.
CAB takes the issue of a sector company using our logo without permission very seriously. If you believe a firm is not a CAB member and is using our logo under false pretences, the first thing to do is check whether the firm really is in CAB using our website www.c-a-b.org.uk/members .
If you can find no record of the company being a current member then we would be very grateful if you could alert us to the fact by emailing us email@example.com. CAB will then look into the matter further, but please be aware that you may be contacted to provide documentary evidence to substantiate your claim. In certain cases we may refer the investigation on to the local Trading Standards Authority for enforcement assistance. Please note that your details will be held in the strictest confidence and will not be divulged to any third party such as Trading Standards or the building firm concerned, without your prior permission.
CAB Regional Meeting – Mercedes Benz World, Weybridge 12 October 2016
We are delighted to announce a further speaker for our Regional Members' Meeting at Mercedes Benz World in Weybridge, Surrey on 12 October. John Fillingham, Anchor Risk Management & Anchor Training will highlight some of the challenges SME's in our sector face when trying to compete for work and comply with safety related standards and legislation. His presentation is entitled: 'Winning Work in 2016 and beyond – A focus on the Health & Safety issues being presented in PQQ's'
John will consider the issues being presented in PQQ's, specifically:
- What is the Client looking for?
- What is not enough – what is too much?
- PQQ's and associated accredited bodies
- PQQ's going forward?
The topic highlights our drive to develop further the number of learning and training opportunities for members within their CAB membership package. Already our Contractual Awareness seminars in 2016 have had a 100% attendance rate at venues around the UK and we continue to look at offering even more training for members in the year ahead.
The meeting will also receive an overview of the latest state of the market information from Professor Noble Francis, Economics Director, Construction Products Association.
The event has already attracted a wide spectrum of more than 100 members and guests and if you are interested in knowing more about other CAB events please contact me at email@example.com or ring the CAB office on 01453 828851.

President Barack Obama has warned Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni that enacting an anti-gay law would complicate relations with the US.
Under the proposed legislation, those convicted of homosexual acts could face life imprisonment.
The law would also make it a crime not to report gay people.
Mr Museveni last month refused to sign the bill but on Friday indicated that he would approve it shortly, after receiving scientific advice.
Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said a team of Ugandan scientists asked by the president for a report on homosexuality had told Mr Museveni that "there is no definitive gene responsible for homosexuality".
He told the AFP news agency this meant "homosexuality is not a disease but merely an abnormal behaviour which may be learned through experiences in life".
Mr Opondo said the president was under strong domestic pressure to sign the bill.
The private member's bill originally proposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involved or the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but that clause has been dropped.

For the estimated 15 million babies born prematurely worldwide, life doesn't get any easier after birth, with many facing health problems and possibly dying before the age of 5. Researchers at Brigham Young University are currently developing a "lab-on-a-chip" device designed to minimize preterm births by identifying biomarkers in mothers more susceptible to giving birth early.
The rectangluar device fits in the palm of the hand and is designed to predict, with up to 90 percent accuracy, a mother's risk of delivering her baby early. Researchers hope this chip with be able to identify nine different biomarkers in a small sample of blood to reduce the number of preterm births.
"It's like we're shrinking a whole laboratory and fitting it into one small microchip," said BYU chemistry Ph.D. student Mukul Sonker, who is the lead author of a study recently published in Electrophoresis and funded in part by the National Institutes of Health.
Along with Adam Woolley, BYU chemistry professor and study co-author, Sonker and a team of post-docs created the chip and the system capable of preconcentrating and separating biomarkers. The chip could be a cost-effective, fast and portable way to test mothers, and researchers hope it will become an automated task among healthcare organizations.

If varicose veins have been getting you down, you are not alone. Many men and women struggle with these rope-like veins that bulge, making you want to hide them from sight. Worse yet, varicose veins can be painful, making your legs throb all of the time. You may feel like your legs are dragging. You've been told to walk in order to find relief, but your legs hurt too much to exercise. All you want to do is put your legs up and rest. This is the worst thing you can do because it won't make your varicose veins go away. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy can help you to say good riddance to your varicose veins once and for all.
Understanding Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment that is minimally-invasive and effective in getting rid of varicose veins. Your varicose veins are injected with an irritant, such as a saline solution, that causes the varicose vein to collapse. Your blood will take another path to circulate through your body while the varicose vein will disappear. When you have an ultrasound-guided procedure, an ultrasound device is used to pinpoint the precise location of your varicose veins.
What are the Benefits of Ultrasound-Guided Sclerotherapy?
When an ultrasound device is used in combination with sclerotherapy, you will be choosing the more effective way to get rid of your varicose veins. Nip that problem vein in the bud by getting to the source of the problem. Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy takes the guesswork out of the procedure. With more precision, you will have a better success rate in getting rid of your troublesome veins. You will also be able to avoid a more involved surgery.
Say Goodbye to Your Varicose Veins
Ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy is a practical solution that can help you to eliminate your varicose veins. It's a permanent solution that eliminates these veins at the source of the problem. After the procedure, you will need to wear compression stockings and walk regularly to promote healthy circulation. Your varicose veins won't disappear immediately, but you will see them gradually fade away.
Talk to Our Doctor About Sclerotherapy
Make an appointment with one of our board-certified physicians at Premier Vein Institute to discuss ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy. It's your chance to finally take control of these problem veins that have been making your life difficult. Learn what will happen during and after the procedure. When you choose ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy, you are going to benefit from a precise treatment that will help you to overcome the discomfort of varicose veins. We have offices in Lakeland, Riverview, St. Petersburg and Tampa. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

- What is TSA?
- Join TSA
- Competitions
- Leadership
- Events & Conferences
- TSA Directory
- For Students
- For Adults
My interest in the STEM areas was a evident ever since I was little, as I always wanted to travel to science museums and the like, and as I watched my brother get involved in TSA I wanted to try it out as well. Since I am an experiential learner, getting to participate in hands-on projects through TSA really confirmed my desire to find a way I could combine my innate abilities in science and math, with my desire to also use my creative brain.
Within TSA, I participated in all levels and all types of competitions, ranging from Film, to Electrical Applications, to Agriculture and Biotechnology. I also held officer positions from the school level up to the level of National TSA Treasurer.
TSA really influenced my career interests because it exposed me to such diverse opportunities in the STEM fields, that I was really able to find out which areas interested me the most. Also, participation in such a wide array of competitions has encouraged me to seek ways to combine seemingly unrelated interests.
The middle school I attended had a very strong technology education program, and I participated in these courses every semester that I was allowed. Throughout high school, I focused on taking high-level math and science courses, and also took courses in architectural and mechanical drafting.
I arrived at college knowing that biomedical engineering was a growing field and that it would allow me to combine my passions for helping society and my interests in technology. I really realized this was the right choice as I began to have courses that cover so many different disciplines, from electrical engineering, to tissue engineering, to human physiology. My current courses include Engineering Physiology, Medical Instrumentation, Signal Processing, Manufacturing & Design, and Spanish.
I really expect biomedical engineering to be a rapidly growing field in the coming decades because we are currently seeing such quick advancements in technologies that bring innovative technologies directly to the user. In healthcare, there are such a wide array of needs still present, and integrating technology and medicine will create the quickest way to solve these issues.
For any student who is interested in a STEM career, my first advice would be to go out and explore areas you do not know about. I have friends who are studying in areas such as textile technologies, to poultry science and these are majors that I did not even realize were available.
In the U.S. in the next ten years, biomedical engineering is expected to grow faster than any other engineering discipline, and will almost double in available jobs. This is because there is going to be such a need from the ripple effect due to the baby boomers, and their successive generations will be reaching old age and needing better medical care.
Any young people interested in science, technology, engineering, and math should really find ways to get hands-on exposure. Projects such as those I did as a member of TSA really helped me see how these fields can be used to become an innovator and an inventor.

|Do you ever make a garment using the same color scheme as
the garment photo?
I know from previous experience that New Look patterns, for me, tend to need alterations and this pattern was no exception. However, I decided to heed the advice from one of my fitting classes on Craftsy.com, which the instructor recommended when you are fitting patterns to start the alterations at the back. I must say this was such an eye opener for me. For instance, I no longer needed the FBA that I assumed that was needed. Seeing as prior to making the wide back alteration, the pattern was not meeting at my center front; however, after the broad back alteration, the pattern was now able to meet my center front properly. I'm not sure that this would work on every pattern, but I sure am going forward with fitting the back area first.
Also, along with the wide back alteration, I added a 1/2 an inch to the side seams, which in retrospect, really wasn't necessary. I just wanted to ensure that I got the relaxed fit that I envisioned. So here are the basic constructions notes:
- The fabric for the bodice was a cotton, poly blend that was just delightful to sew with :)... Please hear the sarcasm here,lol. The skirt, bottom portion was some type of rayon blend.
- I made a straight size 18 in this pattern.
- I added 1 inch to back for broad back and 1/2 inch to the side seams.The pattern called for 9 1/2 buttons. 3 buttons for the top half and 6 contrasting buttons for the bottom half.
|I tried getting a good picture of the back, but the wind had other plans, I guess

Well, hello again 😉 Time to continue my reports about my summer trips in Japan. I'm actually skipping a week now, because during that time Jonas and I were in Hiroshima and tere just isn't much to tell. So we're talking about the 15th and 16th of September in this article, when Jonas and I went to Himeji on our way to the Kansai region.
I guess most of you will have already seen a picture of the Himeji Castle, which is the most famous one in Japan as far as I know. One of its most prominent features is the white colour of the whole castle, which gave it the name of "The Castle of the white Heron". It should look like this: Link. Sadly, when we went there to meet up with Minami, a good friend who had studied at the University of Hamburg for a year before, it looked a bit less impressive, due to ongoing renovations.
But thankfully nothing that couldn't be fixed by clever posing 😀
A most clever disguise for the castles's renovation building – just put two cool Germans up front and noone can see it anymore. We should maybe start marketing that!
But yeah, due to te ongoing renovations we also were unable to enter the castle and just took a stroll through the castle gardens (where we saw many black cats lying aroung and doing nothing – luckily none of them crossed our way. phew!) before we went on for some shopping and visiting Minami's family later. We had nice evening again there and they were all very nice. We even taught them a German game (if some of you happen to know "The Settlers of Catan"), which I gloriously lost xD
Jonas and Minami standing in the castle's exit gate during the slowly approaching sunset.
On the next day, we still had one place to visit befor continueing to Osaka: Mt. Shosha and the Engyoji temple are on top. Now while that may strike some as "Oh, another temple? Again?", this one is a bit special. But I won't spoiler it now, because you have to watch the not so special stuff first 😛 We went there with Minami and her mother, who was so nice to drive us there and even payed for the use of the ropeway… of course we were really grateful, but still, these Japanese are too nice ^^"
Himeji Castle Field, seen from Mt. Shosha. No idea how exactly they did that, but it looked nice 🙂
Ringing the temple bell – made some big noise, I tell you! But a pleasant sound nonetheless.
The main building of the temple, the Maniden Hall, is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy and is classified as "Important Cultural Property" by the Japanese government. It's standing halfway on the mountain and the other half is secured by many pillars below it. If there's some more interest for pictures of the inside, I can upload them too (I'm looking at you Jos 😉 ), but I figured it would be too much for this article.
Now we get to the interesting part, I mentioned earlier. I'll show you two pictures now, made on Mt. Shosha and I want to see if they ring any bell with you. Look carefully and use your cinema knowledge! I'll write the solution further down, but try for yourself first and tell me about it in the comments 🙂
So? Any ideas? Of course, you have to exclude the movable wall in the second picture 😉
Still nothing? Ok, here comes the solution: Link.
These pictures show the Daikodo and Jikido hall of the Engyoji temple, which were both sets in the movie "The Last Samurai", filmed in 2002. Compare them to the left pictures if you klick the link. You'll surely recognise the places. Now I didn't meet Tom Cruise here (and I can imagine the fangirls booing, who came here because of the headline :D), but it was still nice to see the place where parts of the film were put together. You know, besides it beeing a really cool place anyway. Maybe I should watch the film again now…
Hundreds of small communists, silently watching us as we passed by 😮
On the way down in the ropeway. Minami's mother, Minami, me and Jonas 🙂

Here's what our patients had to say about their experience with Dr. Backer:
"Dr. Michael Backer is an exceptional oral surgeon. He extracted my wisdom teeth yesterday. He has a great bedside manner and had me out of there in a hour. He followed up with me after office hours to make sure that I was doing well. I am going back to work this afternoon. I recommend Dr. Backer highly." - Susan C.

A leading labour lawyer has publicly criticised the practice but concedes there's nothing illegal about them.

Tue Jan XXVI
Visited my new school MOUNT ALBERT GRAMMER. Its an old building. Saw Mr Douglas, the Ex-Dean. He told us about the school. Seems a nice place! Went swimming. Went with Mum to get some more uniform. Got stung!
I love the fact that I couldn't even spell 'Grammar' correctly. Such schools had been phased out in England before I began secondary education so the whole idea of a grammar school was alien to me.
Mr Douglas had a teaching role which I cannot now remember (the linked article says that he was a language teacher). He may have been one of a few English born staff at the school, although he had clearly been living in NZ for quite some time if he was.
I was obviously in denial about the uniform. The grey shirt was fine (though I notice from my old school photo that I was the only one in the class to wear a short sleeved version), but the navy blue shorts and choice of either black knee length socks (with black shoes) or bare feet in sandals was completely anathema to a 14 year old from the UK. I hadn't worn shorts to school for about five years by that point and I was mortified at the need to do so now. On the other hand, to fit in I had to wear what everyone else was wearing. As a result, I spent six months looking like a badly dressed giraffe.
