It's the most wonderful time of the year! Can you believe that we're heading into the final weeks of summer and kids will be heading back to school soon? With so many online articles and blogs sharing their tips for back to school road safety, we were inspired to share a collaboration of two articles written by the National Safety Council and Organized Home.
With everyone home from summer road-trips and heading to school drop-off zones, it's more important than ever to pay attention in school zones and share the road with other drivers. Did you know that more children are hit by cars in school zones than at any other location?* The National Safety Council shares the following tips:
- Avoid double parking; it blocks visibility for children & vehicles
- Load and unload children in front of the school, not across the street
- Carpool to reduce number of vehicles in school zones
Did you know that walking children between the ages of 4-7 are mostly likely to lose their lives in bus-related incidents?* Not only is it important to take extra care in school zones, but also in neighborhoods surrounding local schools. With nice weather in Baltimore extending into November, it's likely that many students will be walking to school versus taking the bus. The National Safety Council says:
- Stop and yield to pedestrians walking across the street
- Take extra care to look out for students and children in school zones, near playgrounds and in all residential areas
- Never pass a vehicle stopped for pedestrians
- No matter who has the right of way, use extreme caution when driving around pedestrians and children
According to The National Safety Council, it is illegal in all 50 states to pass a school bus that is stopped to pick up and drop off students. It is important to stay alert when following a school bus and to leave a safe amount of space between your car and any school bus.
Heading back to school can be a tough adjustment for not only kids, but the entire family. Gone are the days of sleeping in and making plans on the fly; the school year means meshing everyone's schedules together and staying organized! Organized Home suggests making a calendar (on paper or online) that both parents and/or all members of the family can refer to throughout the week.
"Color-coding entries by family member helps keep busy lives straight."
– Organized Home
The weekends seem to fly by when the school year starts, often making Monday morning a chaotic scene for every family. Organized Home suggests making a game-plan the night before of what needs to be done the next day, laying out your children(s) clothes before bedtime (adding independence to their routine!) and scanning all backpacks for homework, projects or library books.
"Each evening, think ahead to the following morning; where can you lighten the load?"
– Organized Home
Whether you're heading into a new grade or off to college, our entire team at J.B.A. Chevrolet wishes you a fantastic school year ahead!

Quarterly markets review - Q1 2015
A look back at markets in Q1 2015, which saw the European Central Bank embark on full quantitative easing.
Global equities registered positive returns over the first quarter with central banks in the eurozone and China easing monetary policy. Crude oil prices stabilised after their previous sharp drop.
The S&P 500 delivered a modest positive return. The timing of the first interest rate hike now appears more distant. However, concern over the impact of the strong dollar limited the stockmarket's progress.
Eurozone equities enjoyed strong returns after the European Central Bank's (ECB) announcement that it would buy sovereign bonds. The size of the package surpassed market expectations.
Japanese equities gained amid some positive corporate earnings and were further supported by hopes that additional stimulus from the Bank of Japan would be forthcoming.
Emerging markets
Emerging markets posted positive returns. Chinese equities were supported by the authorities' moves to boost growth. Russia gained amid the stabilising oil price and hopes of a peace deal with Ukraine. Brazilian equities fell amid anaemic economic growth.

WHINSEC students learn about security cooperation with U.S. Navy
By Maj. Charon Camarasa, Student, Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation /
JACKSONVILLE, Fla – International students from the Army Command General Staff College at the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation at Fort Benning, Ga., visited the U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command to learn about security cooperation with the U.S. Navy.
U.S. Navy Captain Ryan Tillotson briefed the WHINSEC students on the diverse duties of the command, its strategy and the partners involved in the security cooperation program.
He explained the importance of building partners throughout the world, as no single nation or agency is capable of defeating a threat on its own.
"The relationships that we build is the most important thing we develop in the (Area of Responsibility)," Tillotson said.
During the briefing, Tillotson shared some of the upcoming combined training events with world partners. This year NAVSO, as part of the southern partnership station, is conducting diving operations with Chile and Colombia.
Maj. Eric Espino, a Panamanian police officer and WHINSEC student who was previously assigned to Panama's Presidential Guard prior to attending the year-long course, asked Tillotson about the command's criteria to select the country which will act as the main effort and exchange interoperability during a combined exercise with NAVSO.
Tillotson responded that if a country has the desire to lead the exercise, then they will be encouraged to take the lead. "We want all our partners to have everything they need to take the lead," said Tillotson.
WHINSEC invites international students from various Latin countries to train side-by-side with U.S. CGSC Army counterparts on military doctrine, history, human rights, and senior officer leadership development.

E2 - The Velvet Web
Having set up the scenario in Episode One, the quest for The Keys of Marinus gets underway in Episode 2, The Velvet Web. And it's this episode that really displays the faults of the story as a whole.
In this installment, the TARDIS crew arrive, are welcomed with open arms by the natives, one of the crew (in this case, Barbara) gets suspicious and seeks to find out more about the regime, gets caught, escapes, finds the answer, helps topple the regime, and everybody goes home happy. That sounds like your average four-part Doctor Who story, but this all happens in one episode! There is no hope for a script to properly develop the characters, the setting, the plot (some might consider that last one to be of at least mild importance), and so forth, and it's painfully obvious that this episode hasn't had the time to do that.
And then there's the budget. The Brains of Morphoton are not some of the best creatures in the programme's history, but they're "control room" is even worse, as the "walls" in the room are simply black drapes. There was nothing left in the tickle trunk for something as simple as walls! This is a testament, though, to how close to the line that first production team pushed things, even if it meant missing the mark the odd time. (We'll talk more about that in Season 2...)
At the end of the episode, another event occurs that would be quite foreign to New Series viewers. William Hartnell was slated to go on a two-week holiday after this episode, which meant The Doctor actually being written out of Episodes 3 and 4 of the story. Such a thing would have been almost unheard of today (until the "Doctor-lite" episodes cam along), but it was something that a programme that pumped out 40+ episodes a season had to do to keep its actors happy.

At the beginning of this undertaking I thought my main issue would be with stories dragging on for too long and yet with the Velvet Web the opposite is actually the case. With the city of Morphoton we have an interesting set up, which is just brought to an abrupt end with Barbara unconvincingly smashing the jars in which the brains who rule the city live. If I had been the production team I would have been tempted to get Terry Nation to write this as a seperate story. They could have done an initial episode showing the city from their hypnotised perspective and then the later ones on the cheap showing what the run down city really looks like. The episode wasnt too bad but could have been much better.

This was one of my favorite episode of The Keys of Marinus, actually. It's unusual that so much happens in one episode of Doctor Who (well, it used to be unusual, mind you) and it helps give the story an added push. Add to that the fact that, again, you really have no idea what's going to happen next in this Twilight Zone of an episode. Loved it.

John Donnelly & Sons, Inc. v. Campbell
ELR Citation: 11 ELR 20091
Nos. No. 79-1575, 639 F.2d 6/(1st Cir., 12/22/1980) Rev'd
The First Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing a district court judgment, holds that the Maine Traveler Information Services Act, which abolishes billboards completely and decreases significantly the number, size, and content of all other signs viewable from public highways, unconstitutionally abridges First Amendment rights. The court initially decides that the stastute, enacted to protect the state's natural resources, enhance tourism, and improve highway safety, is not impermissibly directed to content. To some extent, however, the Act is content related in that it limits the types of information that may be presented on signs. An assessment of its constitutionality requires a balancing between the extent to which the state's interests are entitled to protection and the extent of the Act's content-related restrictions on speech. The court first rules that there is insufficient support in the record for a ban on billboards as an attempt to improve highway safety. However, the statute does advance Maine's interests in protecting its environment and tourist industry. In this respect, the statute serves legitimates state interests that justify the restrictions placed upon commercial speech, despite its impact on plaintiffs' businesses and the distinction it draws between on-premise and off-premise advertising. Nevertheless, the court concludes that the statute impermissibly restrains ideological speech, which has long been afforded maximum protection. Maine's concerns with protecting its environment and tourist industry, although legitimate, are not sufficiently compelling to justify the near total ban on all noncommercial speech. Even though some political, social, cultural, and religious signs are permitted under this law, the court finds those exceptions too narrowly drawn to render the statute constitutional.
A concurring opinion disagrees with the majority's acceptance of the statute on commercial speech grounds because the costs imposed on commercial speech by this near-total ban outweigh the aesthetic benefits accruing to the state.

Does anyone know of the easiest AND safest ways into and out of Israel from Egypt and to Jordan? Also, the same applies for getting around Israel!
Does anyone know of the easiest AND safest ways into and out of Israel from Egypt and to Jordan? Also, the same applies for getting around Israel!
To get into Israel from Egypt you just go to the border, there you have to fill out alot of forms. That could take a while.. Make sure you have enough time and don't plan any times before you get into Israel.. Also have you passport ready at all times, you gonna show it like a thousand times!!!! when you get into Israel, make sure you don't have any metal on you or in you handbag. Then you may have to strip....
They also go over your bag to se if you carry any bombs or other chemicals.. If you have an opened bottle they might think there is something dangerous..
It's no problem to take a taxi or the bus in Israel, they are very friendly. Taxi and bus is right outside the border..
But there are some places you shouldn't stay to long or after dark. Especially in Jerusalem, the old city and the Wall, you have to be careful.
There are some touristbusses going to the Deadsea, but also there you have to be careful after dark.
Clothing in Israel is also important, if your a girl.. don't know what gender you are..
Don't know how they do it at the Jordan border, but if you have your papers ok then i don't think there should be any problems..
Hope this helps..
I was wondering more specifically WHERE are the easiest border crossings?
Flicking through my atlas I see that there are primary roads leading into Israel from Egypt at Rafah & Elat and out of Israel at near to Tayiba north of the West Bank... I can't see any other main roads!
Also, I've heard that gaining entry to subsequent Arab countries may prove difficult if I have an Israeli stamp in my passport. Are border control mindful of this and do they automatically offer a stamped insert in your passport or do you have to ask for this?
The easiest way into Israel from Egypt is Taba and then to Eilat. Alot of tourists take that way, so they are used to that.
Im not sure about the stamp, and sometimes it can be difficult to get into arab countires with an israeli stamp. But i have some friends that travelled from Egypt to Israel to Jordan and then back to Egypt without any problems..
Hope this answer your question.
wittak - Shalom from Jerusalem, Israel and glad to hear you are considering a visit to Israel!
The best place to cross between Egypt & Israel is at Taba-Eilat and then to Jordan, in the same area at the Arava Crossing (just north of Eilat). In both cases, you don't need a visa to enter any of the countries (you get it on the spot), though, on entering Israel at either Taba or through the Arava crossing, you will get only a 30-day visa (not the usual 3 months), I think, unless that's changed recently.
You mentioned something about "near to Tayiba north of the West Bank" but of course, there's no crossing to Jordan near there, unless you mean the Sheikh Hussein Bridge which is at the northern end of the Jordan Valley, not far from Beit She'an. That's also a good place to cross to Jordan. The most difficult crossing to Jordan is at the Allenby/King Hussein Bridge - there, you have to go through Israeli, Jordanian and PA questioning AND if you are going from Israel to Jordan at that point, you have to have a visa already purchased and in your passport!
And please do NOT, under any circumstances, try to cross at Rafiah (the northern Sinai at Gaza) - not at this time anyway...
You can certainly ask the customs/passport control people NOT to stamp the Israeli visa in your passport - they'll stamp it on a separate sheet, but keep that with you while in Israel, returning it on your departure. Egypt & Jordan will let you in even with the Israeli visa stamp, but other "neighbors" won't be happy about it and may forbid your entry.
Just so you know, Israel doesn't care what visas show in your passport, as long as you are not a terrorist or intend doing any harm while here (in fact, we let anyone in, unlike most of our neighbors...), and yes, you may have to answer a lot of questions and open your bags and even endure a more "invasive" search, depending on where you've been or how you answer the initial questions. But then, we are the target for terrorists and drug smugglers here and are trying our best to protect ourselves from both, as I'm sure you understand.
IN-ISRAEL TRANSPORTION: the inter-city bus system (Egged) is GREAT with buses going everywhere at regular times for a reasonable price. You can also take "sheruts" (shared taxis) between the major cities. And the train system up and down the coast is very good - though the train from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is probably the slowest of the line... still, it's a beautiful ride along Nahal Soreq and up through the Judean Hills, even if it now arrives out on the edge of Jerusalem near the Jerusalem Mall (which looks like any other mall, except, of course, the store signs are in Hebrew).
Of course, there are buses within each city, and I use the buses in Jerusalem every day, but that's up to you. There are plenty of taxis and, as always, your feet!
If you are interested in guided bus tours around the country, United Tours http://www.inisrael.com/united/ and Egged Tours http://www.egged.co.il/Eng/main.asp?lngCategoryID=2727 offer daily departures from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to major sites, including the Dead Sea/Masada, the Galilee and more.
Don't forget to spend lots of time in Jerusalem - the center of the universe! As far as walking around at night - well, I do in Jerusalem and feel perfectly safe... there are areas I don't go, but downtown in the Ben Yehuda Street area, in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City and near the Western Wall are all great places to be at night with lots going on and stuff to do, see and enjoy!
If you are coming soon - the annual International Arts & Crafts Fair takes place this month (17-28 August) in Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem. And there's lots more to do in August in Jerusalem, all over town! For more information, go to: http://www.jerusalem.muni.il.
Meanwhile - have a GREAT visit - Israel is a beautiful country and as safe as anywhere in the world these days (probably safest, given our penchant for good security).
And be sure to write about it here on Travellerspoint, when you get home again!
(tourism consultant in Jerusalem, Israel and Travellerspoint travel helper for Israel)
Wow! Thanks for that Suzanne!
Do you mind if I contact you again closer to the time for more advice?

Like the Cardinal, this is another one of my nemesis birds. I have tried and tried to get close enough to these skittish birds on many occasions and have failed to capture this bird in full frame. This, by far, is my closest encounter and capture. This was capture at 400mm.

Teams are getting towards their Opening Day rosters and some tough decisions are being made.
The Mariners have waived Ryan Garko, who hasn't been hitting this Spring (.630 OPS in 41 at-bats). My guess is that Garko will clear waivers because he has a major league $550,000 contract for 2010, which other teams probably won't want to assume.
To my surprise, Garko still has minor league options left, according to mlbtraderumors.com. However, he's been in the majors the last three seasons now, so he may have the right to void the contract and become a free agent. In this market, however, he may well elect to be sent down to AAA so he can keep collecting on his guaranteed contract.
In a similar vein, the Rays' Dan Johnson cleared waivers and has accepted an assignment to AAA. Dan Johnson is a former A's 1Bman who was the best hitter in the International League in 2008 and went to play in Japan in 2009 for about $1 million. However, he disappointed with the bat in Japan and wasn't invited back for a second season.
In fact, Johnson really wasn't that bad in 2009, except for his feeble .215 batting average (he hit 24 HRs and drew a lot of walks), and I still think he could have become a big star in Japan with another year to get used to the Japanese game. However, the Rays gave him a $500,000 major league contact on January 10, 2010, which was more than any Japanese team would give him in the current economy and after his sub-par 2009.
Of course, Johnson has accepted the minor league assignment, because a guaranteed $500,000 is more than he'd get this year from anyone else anywhere. If the Rays are committed to paying him half a mil to play minor league ball, they'll at least have him in mind when someone gets hurt. Meanwhile, I expect he'll again be one of the top hitters in the International League in 2010.
Eric Stults is headed to Japan. The Dodgers have sold Stults for an amount reported to be $300K or $400K to the Hiroshima Carp. My guess would be that Stults' contract will be for roughly twice the purchase price.
Stults is a marginal major league pitcher at best, with a career major league line of a 4.84 ERA, 145 IP, 156 hits, 18 HRs and 63 walks allowed and 98 Ks. And he did that pitching his home games in Dodger Stadium, a great pitchers' park.
Stults is 30 this year, and Japan is certainly his best bet. I'm not sure he'll be successful, though.
Japanese teams like guys like Stults with significant major league experience. However, while Stults pitched well at the AAA level in 2006 and 2008, he was pretty terrible there in 2007 and 2009. It remains to be seen if he'll have what it takes to be a success in Japan.
Another player reported to be of significant interest to Japanese teams, Seth McClung, was just released by the Marlins, after posting an 11.05 ERA in six Spring appearances (7.1 IP). After two adequate years for the Brewers in 2008 and 2009, and being a year younger than Stults, McClung looks like a better option for a Japanese team.
McClung may yet catch on with an MLB organization, but he should consider going to Japan long and hard, because it might ultimately be the best way to have a successful professional career.
The Cubs released Kevin Millar. He wasn't having a good Spring (.242 batting average) but he wasn't terrible either (.769 OPS).
He's 38 now, and this probably means the end of his professional career. Economic times such as these are especially hard on older players. There seems to be something of an unwritten rule about how little a major league team can pay a veteran like Millar. As a result, when times are tight, the clubs prefer to go with younger, cheaper players.
However, for a player who got his professional start in the lowly Independent A leagues, Millar had a helluva career with a lot of exciting moments. It's hard to feel too sorry for him.
The Mets did indeed waive Pat Misch. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Mets are reportedly hoping to slip him through waivers so they can send him down to AAA where he'll be on standby until some of the pitchers the Mets take north develop sore arms.
Finally, the Tigers sent Nate Robertson and $9.6 million of the remaining $10 million on Robertson's contract to the Marlins for minor league pitcher Jay Voss. Robertson is 32 this year, and he sure looks like a pitcher whose best days are well behind him. I guess the Marlins want him for depth in their bullpen.
I actually kind of like Jay Voss. He's only 23 this year, and in 40 relief appearances mostly at the AA level in 2009, he pitched well, with an ERA under 3.00 and roughly a strikeout per inning pitched. He's projected as a left-handed short man at the major league level, but at his tender age, he's still a legitimate prospect. However, he probably isn't worth Nate Robertson and $9.6 million.

Assumptions, not data, dictate opinions about predictive genetic testing in youth
Predictive genetic testing may be able to identify children's risk for developing common, treatable, and possibly preventable disorders. Using this knowledge, doctors may be able to help at-risk children learn to manage their conditions by making healthy lifestyle changes. Test results may also be the motivation children need to take their health seriously as they grow older.
But critics of predictive genetic testing say test results may be psychologically harmful to children. However, these claims are rooted in assumption, not evidence, says U-M researcher Beth A. Tarini, M.D., M.S., in a commentary available online today ahead of print the Journal of Pediatric Psychology.
Advocates challenge that testing during childhood could lead to early health interventions that might improve health.
Data supporting the claims of either side are sparse but fears about the negative effects of testing could hinder research that is needed to determine the exact benefits and harms resulting from sharing test results with children and parents, says
Tarini, a faculty member with the Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Unit at the University of Michigan, is the commentary's lead author.
Conducting this much-needed research may be challenging, the study suggests, because existing professional guidelines warn that genetic testing has the potential to cause psychological and behavioral harm to children, who may be emotionally altered by knowing their results. However, these guidelines refer to the clinical use of genetic testing to diagnose severe, often untreatable disease. The guidelines do not address carefully controlled research on the effects of genetic testing which can provide a child's future risk of developing a common treatable disease, like diabetes. This type of testing is often referred to as predictive genetic testing.
Tarini worries that these guidelines will hamper research that could provide real answers to replace speculation.
"It's a classic catch-22," she says. "If people use these clinical guidelines as a means of discouraging research, then we will never know the truth and we will continue to be guided by speculation."
Genetic testing has the potential to identify individual's inherited vulnerabilities to diseases, some of which may be preventable. Because of these benefits, authors of the commentary suggest that predictive testing is likely to become part of pediatric medicine in the future. However, they worry that without research to guide physicians on the proper use of testing, it may be used and interpreted inappropriately.
There is concern that a child receiving information about the results of their testing may create unnecessary and regrettable psychological distress, alter their self-image or lead to health behaviors that will negatively impact their health, like taking unproven treatments, authors explain.
Children may also adopt a passive approach to their health, concluding that there is nothing that can be done about their condition, as it's "in their genes."
In response to the claim that sharing test results may be psychologically damaging to children, the commentary authors cited a review of 17 articles focusing on the impact of genetic testing. Most found no significant difference between those who tested positive and those who tested negative in the areas of depression, anxiety, general psychological well-being, dispositional optimism and behavioral problems.
Because existing concerns remain speculative, Tarini suggests that continued research is necessary to determine if these proposed effects are rooted in fact or common assumption.
"A guiding principle of pediatric medicine is offering children the opportunity to be proactive in reducing their chance of developing a disease, a process genetic testing may contribute towards," suggests Tarini.
For example, overweight children could be tested to see if they have an elevated risk of developing diabetes, a factor that would greatly affect their continued care.
Results may also be used to create targeted prevention programs for unhealthy behaviors. Anti-smoking campaigns, for example, can be designed to focus on children with ADHD, who have an elevated risk of smoking initiation.
Based on their background and training in child development, pediatric psychologists should play an important role in research, the authors note.
"Pediatric psychologists are uniquely positioned to contribute to research in this area because of their understanding of how social, behavioral and developmental factors influence a child's health."

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India
The well known game, Assassin's Creed, will be releasing a new breed within its franchise on January 12th of this year. Whether you like the games or not, I strongly believe Assassin's Creed has become a game-making monster. Take that as you will but since 2007 there has been 9 games released within the main series of Assassin's Creed. A typical gamer cannot go out to his/her local game store without being asked if he/she wants to pre-order the newest Assassin's Creed, are they beating a dead horse? That's for you to decide.
Now that you have absorbed all of that, Assassin's Creed is really trying to make their name a part of the platforming world. With indie platformers uprising in the gaming world, it was only a matter of time before Assassin's Creed jumped on the bandwagon. The title is Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India and it will be available to download on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on January 12th of 2016. It is being called a 2.5d, action,stealth,hybrid, platformer. Heavens to Betsy! That was a mouth full.
The game looks beautiful and is the second chronicle in the trilogy. It takes place in 19th-century India, at the height of British control while tensions were quickly escalating between the Sikh Empire and the East India Company. It follows the story of the assassin, Arbaaz Mir, as he fights to stop a Master Templar from stealing the famed Koh-i-noor diamond, and works to steal back a mysterious box that belonged to the Assassin Order. You are given a unique set of skills and must learn to utilize your stealth abilities to successfully progress. The game also lets you gain XP through stealth and action, so you can level up and improve your abilities.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India will only be available to download on next gen consoles and PC. I personally love platformers, I mean, who doesn't? It is where most of us started, in terms of gaming. If you enjoyed the Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, I am sure you will enjoy Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India. I would also love to hear your opinions as well in the comment section below. Make sure to check out the new trailer as well.

Global commodity markets were gripped this week by the Malaysia Air MH17 crash in Ukraine, which has raised tensions between Russia — a key producer of many raw materials — and the West.
Investor sentiment was already hit by broadened US sanctions on Russian energy, defence and financial firms to punish what Washington charges are violations of Ukraine's sovereignty.
"If Russia turns out to have played any part in [Thursday's] shooting down of a passenger plane over east Ukraine, there is a risk of sanctions being further tightened," Commerzbank analysts said in a research note. "In this case, it would not only be gas prices in Europe that would react, but also the prices of oil, nickel, copper, aluminum, wheat and palladium — after all, Russia is one of the world's biggest producers and exporters of these commodities."
Traders also tracked events in the Middle East, where Israel launched a ground assault on Gaza.
OIL: Crude futures rose following the plane crash and Israel's incursion into the Gaza Strip.
The crash fueled fears about the Ukraine's role as a key conduit for Russian gas exports to Europe and Sucden analyst Myrto Sokou said Israel's assault had stoked oil supply worries in the crude-rich Middle East, but that "market participants remained cautious, holding a wait-and-see approach to the issue."
By Friday on London's Intercontinental Exchange, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in September rose to US$107.66 per barrel from US$106.99 for next month's contract one week earlier.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, West Texas Intermediate, or light sweet crude, for next month jumped to US$103.72 a barrel from US$101.35.
PRECIOUS METALS: Gold prices had a roller-coaster week, hitting a three-and-a-half-week low on Tuesday before surging on Thursday due to haven demand.
"The news from east Ukraine has caused the safe haven that is gold to rise noticeably for a time," Commerzbank analysts said.
Palladium forged a new 13-year pinnacle at US$889.30 per ounce — last seen on Feb. 23, 2001 — propelled by fears over supplies from top producer Russia.
"Any potential supply disruptions [due to sanctions on Russia] will keep palladium bid in a market expected to record large deficits," Standard Bank analyst Walter de Wet said.
Palladium also won support in recent weeks from strikes in key producer South Africa, but the industrial action ended last month.
By Friday on the London Bullion Market, the price of gold fell to US$1,307.25 an ounce from US$1,335 a week earlier, as silver dropped to US$20.94 from US$21.41.
On the London Platinum and Palladium Market, platinum declined to US$1,497 an ounce from US$1,506, while palladium advanced to US$881 an ounce from US$867.
SUGAR: Prices hit a three-month low in London at US$445.60 per tonne, hit by plentiful supply.
By Friday on LIFFE, London's futures exchange, the price of a tonne of white sugar for delivery in October stood at US$451, compared with US$457.10 a week earlier.
On the ICE Futures US exchange, unrefined sugar for October dropped to US$0.1698 a pound (0.45kg) from US$0.1716 a week earlier.
COFFEE: Prices went off the boil, falling to a five-month low at US$0.15925 per pound in New York on hopes of a bumper harvest in main producer Brazil.
On ICE Futures US, Arabica for delivery in September slipped to US$0.1638 a pound from US$0.16425 a week earlier.

While in Boston this summer, I stopped into one of our nation's very best comic shops, the quite awesome Million Year Picnic, and picked up a few things. Among them is this very interesting anthology edited by Julia Wertz. Apparently, and this is what I get for never having paid any attention to either traditional classified ads or to Craigslist, there's a whole subculture of people who are too shy to approach attractive people in public, and so they resort to leaving optimistic little mash notes somewhere they hope their crush will read. That strides a deliciously uncomfortable line between "desperate" and "pathetic," doesn't it?
Obviously, there's a great potential for comedy in this odd, odd approach to meeting, and the dozens of cartoonists who have contributed to Wertz's book find takes ranging from slapstick to wistful to mean-spirited. Kazimir Strzepek, Shaenon Garrity and Alec Longstreth contributed particular favorites.
Many others weren't to my taste. Some of the artists choose to work in styles which I found confusing or difficult to read. Some of them are totally ready for prime time. Some of them, like Pete Bagge and Shannon Wheeler, have been there for years. Nothing in it really bowled me over. Some comics made me scratch my head and wonder what the heck I just read, but more of them made me smile and laugh. Certainly worth a look for older readers.

It might seem like an unnecessary step to seek premarital counselling, especially if you've been recently engaged or planning a wedding, but taking the time to resolve any current issues can help you maintain a healthy and happy marriage for the future.
Engaged couples spend months poring over every little detail of their wedding, and it is very easy to get caught up in the plans for the big day, but the reality of marriage is that you're (ideally) committing yourself to your partner for the rest of your life. Premarital counselling is a good way for couples to open up about any fears, worries, or life goals that haven't been discussed through fear of arguments or break ups.
For many partners, these underlying problems, if left unchecked, become a much bigger problem later on in the marriage. After leaving it too late, they seek out marriage counselling as a last resort to prevent a divorce which at that stage may not help as much as they'd like.
Premarital counselling helps to identify and solve the main problems couples may have before they can get out of hand, helps to strengthen relationships, and build an open honest foundation to build a life together.
1) Resolving any conflicts or resentments
The number one reason to seek premarital counselling is to resolve any outstanding resentments, arguments, or previous conflicts that may have occurred, preventing future marriage issues and divorce.
With the main reason for divorce in the UK being negative behaviour, it's important to understand your partner's views fully before the marriage. This behaviour can be anything from minor actions that nag away at somebody, like a partner who never does the dishes, to large breaches of trust such as cheating during dating which was forgiven but never fully resolved. These problems will compound over time and sooner or later, disagreements, arguments, and other issues can begin to appear as a result. Seeking a resolution to these problems from the very start gives you and your partner a way to have a new beginning with one another and leave your problems in the past.
2) Learning how to deal with future conflicts
It's inevitable that arguments and disagreements will occur during your marriage.
A lot of arguments are perpetuated by negative ways of resolving conflict, like the "silent treatment", yelling, or passive aggression and sarcasm. Seeing a marriage counsellor will give you and your partner the tools to tackle any disagreements in a calm, peaceful way, allowing you both to focus on your happiness instead of dwelling on the negatives.
3) Relieving marriage anxiety
The process of getting engaged or married can be extremely stressful and it's normal to have fears about trust or committing to somebody. If you or your partner are unsure about the process, premarital counselling gives you the space to air your concerns and worries to each other and with the help of a nonbiased counsellor, you can both work through your anxieties without judgement.
4) Building understanding with one another about the future
Discussing the future with your partner is a good way to build extra trust. If you want kids, are looking to buy a home, or want to understand each other's life goals, premarital counselling will give you both the opportunity to open up about your hopes and dreams for the future so both of you are on the same page. If there is a conflict of interest, your marriage counsellor will then be able to help you both discuss the situation in a way that works for the both of you without the need to argue.
Premarital counselling may seem like an unnecessary part of getting engaged and married, but spending the extra time ensuring you're both on the same path, and that you both know how to discuss issues you face, is the key to a long lasting and loving marriage.

Lana Del Rey talks about the haunting melody for her Golden Globe-nominated song Big Eyes, and how a film score should tell it's own story.
Spooky mid-century paintings of big-eyed children and the equally twisted tale of the artist behind them are at the centre of Tim Burton's new film, Big Eyes. The true yet surreal story of painter Margaret Keane also resonates throughout the film's evocative title track by Lana Del Rey.
The haunting song, Big Eyes, now nominated for a Golden Globe, is a natural fit for Del Rey, a chart-topping pop artiste who is often noted for her cinematic style.
Case in point: Her last album, Ultraviolence, is named after A Clockwork Orange reference and her contributions to other soundtracks, such as Maleficent and The Great Gatsby, feel more like extensions of Del Rey's own work than side projects.
The 29-year-old (real name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) spoke about working with Burton, her love of the surreal and what it's like to think in pictures.
In film as with your own records, your aesthetic is so beautifully melancholic. Is making music a sad endeavour for you?
(Laughs) No, I really enjoy it. Making a record – it's where all the fun is. When I'm done, it's like, oh God. I kind of go into mourning.
Wow. I would have never expected you to use the adjective "fun" when describing the process.
Sad is happy to me. I love it. When I write something bittersweet, I smile. That's why I like Tim Burton. His world has that kind of foundation, too.
You're a Burton fan?
I am a huge fan. I love Edward Scissorhands. But it was Harvey Weinstein who wanted me to work on this. He asked six months ago if I would do a title track. Then during editing he wanted one more song for the end. That ended up being I Can Fly.
Your sound is so noirish and visual. Is the process similar when making your own music as opposed to a film track?
Definitely. I can see it and I can hear it. I'm working on a new record now, and I have this one song, Music To Watch Boys To. The title lends itself to a visual of shadows of men passing by this girl's eyes, her face. I can definitely see things.
This film has great imagery thanks to those saucer-eyed paintings, but it's also this harrowing story of a woman deceived by her husband. He essentially claims he's the painter of the portraits, and for years the world believes him.
When writing music, my favourite place to travel is in my imagination, so having a movie like this makes it easy to go there. I can imagine another layer, what happened to Margaret (Keane, the artist played by Amy Adams), how excited she was in the beginning, how she thought she found a father for her daughter. And it turned out to be a nightmare. It's a great story to build a song around.
Right. A compelling film score should not just be echoing what you see in a film; it should, in fact, add another layer.
For me, the melody should also tells its own story, whether it's minor or major, whether you choose to use a violin or a flute. In The Godfather, so many of those little cues were just a horn or a violin. Think about the mood of the film … there was a reason why the music was so solitary.
Now your title track has a Globe nomination, competing with contemporaries like John Legend and Lorde.
I grew up watching the Oscars and Golden Globes, but I don't really remember the best song category having a lot of contemporary artistes in it. But maybe it's just me because I'm more about scores.
What are some favourites?
Thomas Newman's score for American Beauty. I remember the first time I saw the film. The score is the first thing you hear. I loved it. Or the cues that Nino Rota did for The Godfather, or Giorgio Moroder for Cat People. I loved writing for movies because I love anything that makes you dream. I still watch movies to dream.
Daniel Heath produced and co-wrote Big Eyes with you. He's been a long-time collaborator.
Yes! (Laughs) Dan was my first boyfriend's best friend. Back then, he was doing cues for reality television – the shows were terrible but his work was beautiful. I said, "You've got to work with me on real records. The songwriting is simple: intro, verse one, a chorus, which repeats three times. The bridge is separate from everything else."
That was all he needed to hear to start sending me amazing compositions. He did the title track for Ultraviolence for me. He adds a lot of cinema to my sound. – Los Angeles Times/Tribune News Service
> The live telecast of the 72nd Golden Globe Awards airs on Monday at 9am on RTL CBS Entertainment HD (HyppTV Ch616).

Mr. Narrator is an unseen entity which serves as the omniscient storyteller for most of the Winnie the Pooh franchise.
Unlike most narrators in television programs, Mr. Narrator is not simply a convenient narrative mode to help the (often very young) viewers understand what's going on; he is also an actual character within the stories and interacts regularly with Pooh and his friends. Although the mysterious Narrator never appears on screen, his calm voice is often heard and his presence is usually, though not always, acknowledged by the other characters.
While most installments of Disney's Winnie the Pooh franchise do include meta-references (i.e. "breaking the fourth wall"), The Book of Pooh is particularly odd in that the major characters occasionally find themselves discussing the story with the narrator at the same time this story is happening. Mr. Narrator rarely interferes, however, and prefers to discuss matters with the audience rather than the protagonists if possible. Perhaps his most memorable story was the eponymous episode "Mr. Narrator" in which he attempts to tell a story about himself.
While Mr. Narrator surely fits in the "third-person omniscient narrator" category, his omniscience is sometimes limited, and no matter how much he deviates from the typical narrator figure, he will reveal the end of a story. Welcome to Pooh Corner is the only time when viewers actually see his face.
He usually speaks with a Southern English accent.

A Volvo retailer in Glasgow is celebrating a 32 percent increase in sales since opening its impressive new showroom one year ago.
Taggarts Glasgow relocated from Maryhill Road to a new purpose-built dealership on Mossland Drive, Hillington, in January 2018.
The retailer has seen sales increase by 32 percent year on year, since moving to the new location and has been crowned the most improved sales dealer for the first six months of 2018.
The showroom is complete with Scandinavian furniture, free Wi-Fi, Swedish cakes and coffee. Large exterior and interior glazing also allows customers to see all activity taking place in the new workshops, from, what feels like, the comfort of their living room.
Since the new showroom opened its doors last year, Taggarts Glasgow has created 12 new jobs - increasing the total staff head count by 36 percent. The retailer has also added a business sales centre to support the local business community with fleet vehicles.
Other highlights include inviting a local Volvo owners club to bring their classic cars to the retailer and climbing 'The Cobbler' in the Southern Highlands raising £610 for the BBC's annual telethon, Children in Need.
Derek Muir, Head of Business at Taggarts Glasgow, said: "We have achieved so much in a year, from sales successes to charity fundraising, and it would not have been possible without the dedication of our team.
"Everyone always goes above and beyond to give our customers the best service possible - I really couldn't ask for any more. Our 29,000 ft showroom, which is split over two floors and has 14 workshop ramps, has helped us exceed our sales targets and has made our showroom much more inviting.
"We are pleased that our hard work has paid off and we cannot wait to see what 2019 has instore for us!"

text: Simulation software is a well-known tool that can dramatically speed up product engineering and development. In recent years, technology computer-aided design (TCAD) has been put to use in the development of semiconductor optoelectronic devices such as image sensors, edge-emitting lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and LEDs.Tasks such as band structure engineering, thermal management, side mode suppression and noise reduction can be accomplished quickly through the use of numerical analysis tools. But accurately predicting the behavior of these devices presents a challenge.The main difficulty lies in the tight and strongly nonlinear coupling among optic, electronic and heat equations. The key functions that must be accounted for in the design of these devices are the coupled solution of carrier transport and optical gain in quantum-well active regions. Furthermore, because optoelectronic devices often experience extremely high carrier densities, self-heating effects play a major role in many applications, such as telecommunications VCSELs and high-brightness LEDs.Electronic vs. opticalAlthough the electronic solutions for a wide range of applications are similar, the methods for the optical field calculation can vary substantially. In fact, the numerical technique used for solving the optical problem can be completely different for different applications. Although a necessary component of laser design is a full vectorial eigenmode solver, the design of image sensors and LEDs requires ray-tracing optics. Thus, a versatile tool for the photonics industry clearly must contain a variety of algorithms for the optical part of the problem. To overcome this challenge, the functionality of device simulators, such as ISE Integrated Systems Engineering AG's Dessis, has been extended to include the development of optoelectronic products. For very high performance image sensor applications, this simulator offers full-wave calculation of the incident optical wave.Emphasis must be placed on the solution of the eigenmodes in VCSELs. These devices are becoming key optical communications components because they have several advantages over edge-emitting lasers; e.g., a circular mode shape output, on-chip testing and lower fabrication costs. Dessis calculates the optical mode pattern in a VCSEL using a full-vectorial finite-element algorithm, which allows the accurate calculation of the near and far fields, the cavity resonance and the diffraction loss. Note that approximating the diffraction loss by a less rigorous model introduces uncertainty in predicting the threshold current (Figure 1), in particular, if higher-order modes are analyzed. Figure 1. In these simulation results for an 850-nm AlGaAs/GaAs VCSEL, the optical mode is solved with the full-wave finite-element solver built into the Dessis device simulator. The result of the eigenmode analysis is the accurate optical field distribution, and a precise prediction of the resonance wavelength and the optical diffraction loss. The electrical device's behavior and terminal characteristics are calculated in the coupled simulation mode (inset).VCSEL designA key objective in VCSEL design is to obtain single-mode lasing up to a high driving current. This can be achieved by proper placement of an oxide aperture, or by patterning the device surface in a way that favors the fundamental mode. In both cases, device engineering introduces a slightly different layer structure, both near- and off-axis. In addition, the oxide aperture strongly influences the current flow. Because the refractive index varies with carrier density and temperature, it is difficult to estimate how the current crowding at the oxide influences the single-mode behavior. And because VCSELs are very small, optical, electronic and thermal effects are strongly coupled. For the simulation of semiconductor light emitters, an accurate model for the spontaneous and stimulated emission of light is essential. Most of today's devices have quantum-well active regions, which can be modeled only if relevant physical effects such as carrier capture into — or escape from — the quantum wells are included and are solved consistently.The calculation of the electronic band structure and the optical gain recently garnered significant attention in the modeling community. It has been shown that simplified gain models often fail to predict qualitative and quantitative behavior of modern photonic devices. For a comprehensive simulation, a rigorous calculation based on the so-called k•p method must be applied. The result of the gain calculation can be stored in a gain table, a multidimensional table listing optical material gain as a function of electron and hole densities, temperature and transition energy (Figure 2).Figure 2. Quantum-well active regions in lasers and LEDs can be characterized by their gain function. Optical material gain is tabulated against electron and hole density, temperature and transition energy. The device simulator can read and write these gain tables.Although many publications present new and advanced physical models, the amount of time needed for the setup of a device simulation cannot be underestimated. For industrial TCAD, it is important to have state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces for structure generation and visualization of results. Furthermore, mesh generation is still a critical issue in device simulation because the mesh quality can strongly influence the numerical performance of the simulations.The numerical models for the design of optoelectronic devices have improved a lot during the past decade, but what makes design a challenge today is that several material parameters are not well-known. An initial effort has to be spent on parameter calibration. By comparing simulation and measurement, a material database that contains a considerable amount of the critical design and manufacturing know-how can be built. Therefore, it is important that the database be completely separate from the simulation model and that its contents be treated as proprietary information.Although the comprehensive simulation of optoelectronic devices is an involved process, the effort that must be made to numerically solve the coupled optoelectrothermal equations is justified by the insight that engineers can gain from simulation results.Meet the authorAndreas Witzig is the optoelectronic product manager at ISE Integrated Systems Engineering AG in Zurich, Switzerland; e-mail: email@example.com.

For many young people, work is not only what they do but also an important expression of who they are. It is a way to communicate their values to the outside world. No one wants to work for one of the "bad guys", and ethical track records are now a crucial factor when choosing an employer. Websites such as Facebook and "best company" polls will quickly uncover if an employer's track record is not what it says on the tin.
Job satisfaction no longer suffices. Young people want to work for a company that not only tells a good story, but lets them be part of that story. One study from Common Purpose suggested that some people aged 25-35 are experiencing a "quarter-life crisis"- leaving pressurised jobs to search for more meaningful work.
Many private sector companies have already responded in order to attract and retain the best staff. In this "war for talent", the terms of debate are maturing from notions around corporate social responsibility (CSR) to more authentic core values around "good business". Although good business is hard to define, common aspects seem to include trust and autonomy, fostering the personal growth of employees, and creating products that help society. This definition might align more easily with profitmaking companies where the commercial decision has been made to "give something back".
In public services, however, we rely upon a values-driven workforce as our base, so feel less need to stress notions of good business. But just because an organisation has a strong sense of social purpose does not mean that this filters through the entire workforce in a way that responds to each individual's values. People search for meaning in their jobs every day, and the space to express their own enterprise, innovation and creativity. The danger within some public services organisations is that there can be little room for individuals to express an interpretation of what actually matters to them.
Self-employment emerges as a route out of this frustration and it is no coincidence that "fairness" and "fulfilment" resonate strongly with the emergence of a new breed of entrepreneurs. Perceptions of being affluent, profit-focused and individualistic are being challenged. "It's no longer sexy to be greedy," as John Bird, the founder of the Big Issue, has said.
It is naive to think that money ceases to be a motivation, but the main driver for a new breed of entrepreneurs is creating dynamic and enjoyable work cultures that give them control over their time. This helps explain the rapidly growing interest in social enterprises and social entrepreneurship among young people.
Even where young people do not want to set up their own company, they will demand entrepreneurial places to work. Many assume that the ideal environments in which to express their full potential are small companies, rather than large ones, despite potential trade-offs in terms of financial rewards and job security. Who isn't frustrated by the bureaucracy and inability to effect immediate change in large organisations?
In this new environment, the real win for health services, schools and colleges, and the civil service is in finding ways to unlock the vast amount of untapped entrepreneurial talent that exists in every workplace. Exploring their passions for social or environmental change provides a good opportunity to use business and sector expertise, contacts and resources to create sustainable initiatives. This might mean working with emerging social enterprises to scale up impact or finding ways for people to align their own passions in a way that delivers some of the core values of the organisation. For instance, that could be giving staff the autonomy, and finance to start up a new project or act as mentors to others delivering social contracts.
The benefits are obvious in terms of employee job satisfaction - but this also provides the opportunity to recruit a new breed of passion-fuelled staff, retain the services of excellent people, and reap the potential benefits of finding innovative, more efficient ways to deliver public services.
Nonetheless, a cultural synergy exists between the values of young people and the changing values of good businesses. Our public services - from Whitehall to the health service - are crying out for social entrepreneurs who can effect change and stimulate innovative responses to the challenges of our times. Good business is about aligning with the growing demand for people who want to make a real difference through their work. If they can't find it in the workplace, they'll seek it elsewhere.

Or rather, Kenny Baker, who operated the droid. He was 83, and had been ill for some time. Here he is at the opening night of the last Star Wars film:
This picture's from the Guardian.
But he was much more than just the operator of R2D2.
In his long career, he worked as the shadow ringmaster in Billy Smart's Circus, and with many famous British comedians of the 1960s and 70s. He was even a Diddyman with Ken Dodd! He also played the harmonica as part of the Minitones musical comedy duo, and he could ice skate, starting off in Holiday on Ice and appearing in ice shows for the next twenty years all over the world. He was one of those old-fashioned variety entertainers who could turn his hand to anything.
