Three dead after car towing caravan drives wrong way on motorway
Three people were killed when a car towing a caravan crashed as it was being driven in the wrong direction on a busy motorway.
Thames Valley Police received reports of the Subaru Forester SUV being driven south on the northbound carriageway of the M40 shortly before 4pm on Monday.
A few minutes later it crashed into two other cars – a Ford Mondeo and a Ford Focus – near Junction 6 in Lewknor, Oxfordshire.
The driver and a passenger in the Forester, both in their 80s, and the driver of the Mondeo, a man in his 30s, died.
Videos filmed before the crash and posted on social media show motorists travelling in the outside lane of the motorway being forced to swerve to avoid a collision with the Subaru.
Senior investigating officer Sergeant Beth Walton, from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit of Thames Valley Police, said: "We are in the early stages of the investigation, in which sadly three people died, and our thoughts are with their families.
"We are in the process of contacting witnesses who provided a report to us and are grateful for their support.
"I would ask anyone who has footage not to share it and to remove it from social media out of respect for the families and friends of the people who died."
Sonia Thomson, from Staffordshire, was driving in the outside lane of the motorway when the realised the Subaru "was just heading towards me".
Ms Thomson, who works as cabin crew for British Airways, told the Press Association the car was "going so fast" and "it was almost past me in the blink of an eye".
The crash happened shortly after her encounter with the car.
"Someone must have been looking after me because 10-20 seconds later and that could have been me," she said.
Ms Thomson added that the incident "doesn't make sense" as she believed someone who accidentally drove in the wrong direction on a motorway "would get yourself to the hard shoulder and call for help".
Others who saw the chaos took to Twitter to describe what happened.
Liz Hindmarsh posted: "My husband had to swerve into the middle lane otherwise he'd have been hit."
Before news of the deaths was announced, Oliver Hayes wrote: "We also had to swerve, seemed at least 70mph driving head on in our lane at junction 8… did not look accidental.
"Called the police who said they'd had multiple calls by that time. Scary stuff hope no fatalities but looked inevitable the way they were driving."

From Hatred to Mercy
A Ministry That Asks: What do you do when a loved one is murdered?
by Jan Petroni Brown
In a perfect world, Marietta Jaeger Lane and Bill Pelke would probably have never met, let alone felt called to found an organization that promotes radical—some would say illogical—mercy. She was a Michigan mother busily caring for her five children; he was a Vietnam veteran who worked as a crane operator in Portage, Indiana. But when unthinkable tragedy shattered their lives, each one was thrust into a painful but ultimately healing journey from revenge to forgiveness.
Today, with other family members of murder victims, they travel far and wide to share their hard-won wisdom. They organized their first such Journey of Hope in 1993, when 120 people boarded buses for a sixteen-day speaking tour to fifteen cities in the American Midwest. Since that time, the group has addressed audiences in more than forty states and ten countries.
Theirs are wrenching stories of pain and loss—but stories that are told with peace and compassion. If Journey of Hope members are credible when they urge forgiveness as a way of life, it is because they themselves have been purified of hatred and the desire for revenge.
Many who hear Marietta Jaeger Lane's story tell her it has helped them to give up their own hatred and revenge for offenses, both big and small. "They say, 'If you could forgive in such a terrible situation, then maybe I can begin to work with God on the areas in my life where I've been kidnapped from the safety of God's tent.'"
A Mother's Nightmare. When Marietta uses tent imagery, it is not just a figure of speech. Her youngest child, seven-year-old Susie, was snatched from a tent in the middle of the night during a family camping trip in Montana.
With a cut in the tent canvas and Susie's scattered stuffed animals as the only clues, the FBI joined local police and countless rescue volunteers in a frantic search for the little girl. A week later, a man called and demanded ransom; he mentioned an identifying mark on Susie that had not been revealed in the media coverage.
The Jaegers remained at the campsite for weeks, as authorities scoured the area. One "terribly intense" day, watching sheriff's deputies repeatedly drag the river, Marietta was flooded by emotions she had never felt before. "Rage and desire for revenge came roiling up through all my lifelong inhibitions," she said. Visions of vengeance flooded her mind.
"I could kill him with my bare hands and with a smile on my face," she told her husband as the couple prepared for bed that night.
And yet, Marietta sensed that she had a choice: to forgive or be consumed by hatred. After a night-long "wrestling match with God," she gave in and prayed, "I give you permission to change my heart. I can't do it alone."
Two days later, she was introduced to Fr. Joseph Mavsar, the pastor at a nearby parish. The priest had just returned from his native Slovenia, where he had gone to offer forgiveness to the man responsible for the massacre of his parents and siblings. Fr. Mavsar was "a beacon, a gift from God," says Marietta. "He helped me to see that the forgiveness I was working toward was possible, with the grace of God."
Murder and Mercy. Marietta began praying for the unknown kidnapper; she imagined him fishing and asked for a good catch. Often, she wondered whether she was betraying Susie by trying to forgive the man who had harmed her. "But you know what happens when we start praying for somebody," says Marietta. "God changes our own hearts. The more I prayed for this man, the more I realized how very important it was for him to experience the love of God."
At 2:00 one morning, exactly one year to the minute when the Jaegers had discovered Susie's disappearance, the kidnapper called Marietta. Intending to taunt and torment her, he was reduced to tears when she told him—with genuine concern—that she had been praying for him. They talked for over an hour as he voiced his desire to "have this burden lifted."
That conversation and a subsequent call finally led the FBI to the abductor, who eventually confessed to Susie's murder and four others. (Confirming the chilling details of a dream she had had, Marietta learned that her daughter had been molested and strangled—probably within a week after being kidnapped.) A few hours after his confession, he hanged himself in his jail cell.
"That was not what I wanted," Marietta says. "If I had to accept Susie's death, I had hoped I would see this very sick man restored."
Two Mothers Meet. The murder victim relatives who speak at Journey of Hope events represent many different backgrounds and walks of life, but they proclaim a common message. Their stories—shared at colleges, churches, and other places—highlight the transforming power of love and also encourage dialogue about the death penalty.
As she experienced such a dramatic healing in her own life, Marietta Jaeger Lane felt compelled to extend forgiveness more outwardly. She sought out the mother of Susie's killer and found a devout Christian who was reeling from the discovery that, in his mental illness, her oldest son had several personalities. The man she had known was loving, attentive, and hardworking.
"We embraced and wept in each other's arms," says Marietta—"two heartbroken, grieving mothers who had lost their beloved children." The women became friends and have prayed together at each of their children's graves.
Strength from Above. This urge to extend compassion can lead to expressions of forgiveness that are more public. Bill Pelke, cofounder of Journey of Hope, helped to lead an international campaign to save the life of the fifteen-year-old girl who had killed his grandmother. As a result of Pelke's work, more than two million people signed petitions protesting her execution in 1989, and Pope John Paul II asked that her life be spared. The effort was successful: Paula Cooper's sentence was commuted to sixty years in prison.
When Bill Pelke speaks of his decision to forgive—and even love—his grandmother's killer, audiences wonder how he found the strength. This was especially evident at one of his first talks, to students at the Gary, Indiana, high school that Paula Cooper had attended.
"You must have a big heart," said one girl after hearing his message. "I have a big God," Bill replied.
"Father, Forgive Them." Only a "big God" could have brought Bill to the point of forgiving such a brutal crime. Ruth Pelke, the grandmother he knew as "Nana," was a gentle woman who had trustingly opened her door to Paula Cooper and three other ninth-grade girls. Pretending to be interested in Bible lessons, the teens just wanted money to play arcade games. Once inside, they stabbed the seventy-eight-year-old woman over thirty-three times, took ten dollars, and drove off in her car.
In the months that followed, Bill felt that God was calling him to forgive the girls, especially Paula, who was considered the ringleader. It was beyond him. Painful images prevented him from feeling any compassion, he says. He kept picturing Nana "butchered on the dining room floor—the same dining room where our family gathered every year for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and birthdays."
Bill's moment of conversion came a year and half later, as he began his three-to-eleven shift at work. Sitting fifty feet aloft in a crane cab, he visualized the photo of his grandmother that had accompanied the newspaper accounts of her murder. It showed a silver-haired woman with a sweet smile and wearing a light blue dress. This time, though, he saw something distinctly different in the familiar picture. Tears were flowing from Nana's eyes and down her cheeks. "At first I thought they might be tears of pain," he says, "but I immediately realized they were tears of love and compassion for Paula Cooper and her family."
In his book Journey of Hope, Bill writes: "As I sat in the crane, I pictured an image of Jesus crucified on the cross. I pictured the crown of thorns dug into his brow. I envisioned his bloody hands and feet and the nails driven through them. I recalled what he said: 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing.' I began to think that Paula Cooper didn't know what she was doing when she killed Nana. A person who knows what they are doing does not take a twelve-inch butcher knife and stab someone thirty-three times."
With tears "flowing like a river," Bill begged God for the strength he needed to forgive. From that moment on, it was as if a weight was lifted from his heart. He was finally able to picture his grandmother not as she had died but as she had lived—"what she stood for and what she believed in, and the beautiful, wonderful person that she was."
A Way of Life. The message of Journey of Hope is not simply for people whose lives have been touched by violent crime. The speakers' dramatic stories have moved countless others to examine the place of forgiveness in their own lives.
As Bill Pelke explains, his "epiphany" moment on the crane involved far more than the act of forgiving Paula Cooper. The call to forgiveness extended beyond the extraordinary hurt he had received. All of a sudden, he says, he saw that it made no sense to continue a ten-year grudge that had been ignited by a coworker's insensitive remark.
"I tell people that forgiving Paula Cooper gave me a new philosophy of life—forgive a neighbor who complains about the noise, a driver who cuts you off." Hanging on to anger and resentment is deadly, says Bill, "like a cancer."
Marietta Jaeger Lane agrees. "Those who retain a hateful, vindictive feeling only end up giving the offender another victim. Vengeance, hatred, resentment, grudge-bearing, even deliberate indifference, are death-dealing spirits that will take our lives as surely as Susie's was taken from her." Besides, she says, "Jesus made it very clear that if we don't forgive those who harm us, God cannot forgive us our sins. We agree to that 'contract' every time we say the Our Father."
Impossible by our own strength alone, forgiveness—from the smallest offense to the biggest—truly is possible with God. Yes, it's costly, says this mother who will always bear the wounds of having lost a child. "But every time we meet Jesus at the cross, every time we have to crucify our feelings and desires, we will experience resurrection with him—a new life, rich and full beyond our wildest dreams.
"I do not believe for a moment that it was God's perfect will for our family to endure this tragedy. But after thirty-three years, I've come to understand that God is redeeming Susie's suffering and death by using it as a teaching on the possibility and importance of forgiveness. As people hear and respond to that call, Susie's death becomes a gift of life."
Jan Petroni Brown is a freelance writer, college instructor, and mother of three in Houston, Texas. A Montana native, she remembers praying for the safe return of Susie Jaeger in 1973. For more information about Journey of Hope: 1-877-924GIVE (4483); www.journeyofhope.org.

Pond Klear Xtra
Our fastest treatment for clearing green pond water contains 3 times more bacteria than our best-selling pond treatment. The millions of beneficial bacteria that are including in this product target green and murky water and eliminate it for good.
Treats 40,000 litres
883 in stock
Give Your Green Water That Xtra Treatment!
Green pond water is a very unsightly, but very common problem among UK ponds. Caused by billions of microscopic algae spores producing a green tint to the water, you face the daunting problem of how to clear pond water. However, it is easy to treat when you have the right green water treatment.
Pond Klear Xtra is a stronger version of our standard Pond Klear and is developed for larger ponds and very badly effected ponds. Containing three time more bacteria than Pond Klear it's one of the most effective green water treatments available.
Working in the same way as Pond Klear, you will be killing two birds with one stone. Targeting the algae spores directly, binding them together and removing them from the pond whilst also digesting the organics that feed the spores creates healthy, clean water for your fish.
Most green water treatments only contain a binder that binds the algae spores together and sinks them to the bottom of the pond. This solves the problem quickly as the algae spores are not visible once they have been sunk. However, without the presence of bacteria, the algae spores will soon rise back to the top and your water will quickly turn green. Pond Klear Xtra contains both bacteria and a binder to clear the water and keep it clear.
How to Keep Pond Water Clear
Pond Klear Xtra is mainly used to clear green water, but it is also an extremely effective preventative treatment. When used regularly, Pond Klear Xtra eliminates unwanted organics from the pond to remove the food source available for algae.
See the results you could have with Pond Klear Xtra after just 10 days.
Before using any bacterial treatment, we recommend checking the pH and KH level in your pond or using Pond Equaliser. It instantly stabilises the water parameters and creates the ideal environment for fish and bacteria.

The usage of a school strategic plan can be based on a variety of purposes or functions. It can be for the development of the school's organizational goals, the achievement of particular action plans, the execution of activities that can result to higher chances of student successes, or even a combination of any of these items.
The strategic plan examples that academic institutions use, no matter what the reason for their development is, must be able to present the current condition of the school and the gap that is necessary to be filled for the vision of the school to be achieved.
Creating a school strategic plan can be tedious and challenging especially considering the number of stakeholders that must take part in the planning, development, implementation, and evaluation processes of the document.
If you want to have a strategic plan for your school but you do not know the processes that you need to follow or the guidelines that you need to be aware of, make sure to browse through the entire post so you can see downloadable examples, tips, and recommendations that you can use as references. You may also see weekly plan examples & samples.
A school strategic plan is very helpful when it comes to the identification of the vision, goals, and objective that the school would like to achieve not only for itself but also for all the people that are within the different areas of its operations. Listed below are some of the reasons why it is essential for your school to have its own simple strategic plan.
1. A school strategic plan can help the academic institution further develop its processes, programs, and activities for the benefit of its students. Through a school strategic plan, schools can be more aware of the framework that they need to develop to ensure that they can provide the needs of the students. You may also see simple business plan examples.
2. A school strategic plan helps increase the engagement of stakeholders. If there will be a school strategic plan, people can be more involved with the planning and execution of activities that can help the school improve and grow. The involvement of necessary individuals and groups are very critical as this can make or break the successful execution of the strategies and tactics listed in the school strategic plan. You may also like risk plan examples & samples.
3. A school strategic plan can promote a touch point where the stakeholders and all the other entities involved in the school operations can communicate with one another. A school strategic plan helps entities connect in particular time periods especially during the implementation of action plans listed in the document. With this, teachers, students, parents, and school administrators can be more aware of each and everyone's concerns and recommendations.
4. A school strategic plan acts as a tool that the school management can use for decision-making processes.
Since this document provides the specification of the school's current condition and the state where it would like to be, the school board and other decision-makers can rely on a school strategic plan to come up with particular programs that can set the direction where the school is heading. It can also develop a track or a road map that can present the means and ways on how the school can reach its targets. You may also check out sales plan examples.
5. A school strategic plan can present the metrics in which the success of the school can be measured. With the use of a school strategic plan, school officials can see how previous plans have affected the current operations of the academic institution. You might be interested in job plan examples & samples.
Being able to be aware of these items can lessen the potential of repeating the same mistakes or using the resources of the school for activities that does not really return any benefit for the school and its operations.
Whether you will create a general school strategic plan or a one-page strategic plan, what is essential is for you to align and incorporate all the elements of a school strategic plan together in one document. It may sound overwhelming at first but knowing all the factors that you will be working with when making a school strategic plan can make it easier for you to know how to create a document that is fit with the needs and demands of the school and its stakeholders.
Here are some of the important factors that you need to look into if you already want to begin drafting a school strategic plan:
1. Create monitoring protocols and specifications that can measure the consistency of the implementation of simple action plans and the incorporation of strategies and tactics in the school operations. The development of the school strategic plan must be realistic so that entities can be more persuaded to contribute to the plan's actual usage.
2. Know how to properly evaluate the performance of the school's stakeholders. The quality standards set by the organization must be met every time particular activities will be implemented as guided by the school strategic plan.
3. Clearly specify the objective, goals, and action plans of the school strategic plan. This can explain why particular strategies and tactics need to be implemented.
4. Provide an idea of the workforce that you will be needing for the implementation of the school strategic plan's content. Include internal and external entities as long as their deliverable will be needed within the activity. You may also see quality plan examples & samples.
5. Have a timeline that will allow you to know the date when the school strategic plan must be implemented and when specific results are expected to be observed already. You also need to know the time frames in which action plans must be executed. You may also like transition plan examples & samples.
Unlike a personal strategic plan that deals with the ways on how an individual can improve himself or herself, a school strategic plan focuses on a wider scope of processes that involves a number of stakeholders. If this is your first time to create a school strategic plan or if you want to improve when it comes to drafting this kind of document, here are some of the useful tips that you can follow:
1. Always be organized and proper in the processes of school strategic plan drafting. You have to know the proper language and tone to use in your discussion especially if you will share the school strategic plan with board members, parents, and other people who would like to have an update of how the school operations is going. You may also see assessment plan examples.
2. Make sure that you will talk with the stakeholders of the school. You have to ensure that all entities who will be involved in the creation of school strategic plan can be aware of the common vision that you and the school would like to realize. This can help organize all the processes that are necessary to be done so you can come up with an efficient document. You may also like daily plan examples.
3. Be specific when listing down all the strategies, tactics, and general action plans that you will designate in various time frames. You also have to be particular with the entities to whom responsibilities will be given. A school strategic plan can be effective if you can persuade or convince entities to deliver their obligations in a timely manner.
4. Consider the budget allocation and other financial issues that you need to face when making the school strategic plan. This is important as it can dictate the attainability and sustainability of the school strategic plan. Being aware of how you will use the resources of the school is also important so that you can put limits when spending or allocating resources to achieve an action plan. You may also check out management plan examples.
Do not be intimated by the long process of developing a school strategic plan. As long as you are aware of the basics that can help you make an effective document, you can have a high potential of achieving the creation of a document that can make your school more effective and proactive. You might be interested in advertising plan examples.
Start by browsing through the list of references that we have prepared for you. Download any example that you think can help you develop, format, and present the details that you would like to discuss in the specific school strategic plan that you are creating.

Influencer marketing is growing quickly as brands realize the impact of leveraging an individual's social media following to engage with their audience. It has become a promising tactic, with marketers relying on celebrities, industry leaders and other social media personalities to reach customers through voices they already know and trust.
A new study from ANA has found that 75% of marketers are using influencers as a marketing tool and many plan to increase spending up to 43% on it in the next 12 months. Then there's the recent news about Equinox and SoulCycle launching a talent agency for fitness instructors, helping them develop social media personas and score large-scale sponsorship deals. These stats and the real-world example point to the growing popularity of influencer marketing and the need for more structured influencer programs.
While a popular fitness instructor can build up hype about workout gear, or a mommy blogger can give their opinion on a new car seat, there's still a missing gap. Influencers experience challenges working with brands and companies, with no way to curate content for audience segments and no way to monetize their relationships. So, what are influencers looking for to overcome these challenges, and how can an app like Strings help them save time while making money?
Curation of Audiences
Influencers know the exact person they are targeting – whether it be the millennial in search of the best cycling classes in town or the new mom who needs help knowing what to buy her baby. Because of this, it's important for influencers to build their own audience and customer base by inviting people to join the experience in a way that's authentic to the topic they're interested in. This helps create stronger and more meaningful relationships that are always relevant.
Control Over Content and Collaboration
It's important for influencers to also be able to curate their content based on specific topics and the different areas they specialize in. Influencers want to bring people together in a meaningful way through common interests. By telling their story on their own terms, influencers can curate content that's more engaging, even collaborative.
Control Over Monetization
Influencers drive trends and preferences across millions of users – just like advertising agencies. Because of this, it's important that their talent and time is easily monetized, with each post providing its own monetization opportunity. They should be able to grow their network and support themselves in a way that saves time and also provides income.
Let's String Along Together
Strings is leading the way towards content-centric social media, allowing influencers to curate and control their audience, the content that they're sharing and the way they're monetized. Influencers want a way to streamline what they do and have an easy way to reach their goals. That's why Strings has created a platform that makes it easy for influencers to save time and make money – all so they can focus on creating the content they love.
Strings is looking for content curators, community builders and story-makers to join the team. If you're an influencer interested in learning more, please contact us at email@example.com.

Client experiences:
Professional recommendations:
I have known Erica Randolph since 2007 as a friend, a musical partner, and am well aware of her work as a counselor, for we have discussed that field many times together. My own long-term work as a psychotherapist, teacher, and healer allowed me to knowledgeably recognize her capacities as a counselor. I think her excellent, both in terms of her depth of knowledge of the field and, most importantly, her deep capacity for empathy and insight into the people she helps. I have seen her show tremendous dedication to her work and her clients over many years and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others.
As a musical partner, which is where I have personally worked with her, I find her to be dedicated, timely, deeply knowledgeable, and someone upon which I could unreservedly depend. If you know anything about musicians you would know that this is highly unusual. In addition, unlike the majority of musicians I have met, she is tremendously humble about her depth of knowledge. I find her unpretentious, kind, and a very good friend. And besides, she knows how to laugh.

10,000 Tweets
So sometime in the past week I hit 10k tweets, which somehow seems like a very large number of 140 character phrases to have sent out into the world, and so i tried to pull them together into a word cloud to see what it is I talk about all the time. I thought some words might pop out more (like rstats, I feel like I am always asking for help with R) and more science oriented words, but this is what came up.
As I was sitting reflecting on this cloud of words Alex Bond summed it up pretty well.
@RallidaeRule "I'm good. Today I like rails now get well. Thanks" Alex Bond (@thelabandfield) March 1, 2015
I do spend a lot of my time talking about rails and how awesome they are and how much i like them. But as I stared at that cloud more and more I realized that I also spend a lot of time being part of the community, talking to my friends and fellow tweeps, discussing the issues of the day, supporting each other, wishing each other well, thanking them for helping me with R.
I originally got on twitter…long ago, but I deleted all those stupid early college tweets when I came back to twitter in 2013. I somehow found people tweeting about the 2013 ESA meeting and i wanted to join the conversation, and now, a year and a half later I have grown so much because of twitter.
My view of academia is much more grounded, I understand science better, I have a community of people I can lean on and ask their advice. I've become more aware of how diversity impacts science and the world and I've tried to start doing something about it. I've met new collaborators and my dissertation has evolved. Everyone was with me through my comps, through all the odd interactions of grad school.
Twitter has helped me understand that I don't have to listen to everyone's advice. That even though my work won't be in Nature it still has value. You have all helped me understand how my PhD might work for me outside of academia, and how I can still do amazing science even if I'm never a professor. I've learned how we all struggle with balancing work and family, and I've learned that it's OK to put family first.
I've also learned that its still ok, even as an often grumpy phd student, to be excited about my subject and that I should spread that to the world about why I love science so freaking much.
Twitter has connected me with some of my most positive female role models (esp @HopeJahren, @duffy_ma, @JacquelynGill, @cbahlai, @EvoEcoAmy, @EvoPhd, @betheross, @shamansciences, @kara_woo, @sciencegurlz0 and many others). I've had great mentors all through my life, but most have been male, and the AMAZING female scientists I've met on twitter continue to inspire me and help me deal with the impostor-y feelings I encounter each day. They have helped me stand my ground in sticky situations and have helped me make sure I am not pulling up the ladder behind me.
To any grad students or other science loving folks out there, twitter is worth your time, it has brought me so much, and I hope I have given it all back to them.
Alright, enough navel gazing for one night.
You've challenged the way I think about so many issues, and introduced me to so many new ideas and cool things. Auriel Fournier (@RallidaeRule) March 1, 2015

Louth 1-16
Clare 0-13
Venue: Gaelic Grounds, Drogheda.
Clare slumped to a disappointing six point defeat to Louth in Round Two of the Allianz National Football League after they failed to score for the last twenty eight minutes of the tie as their opponents hit nine scores without reply.
For Louth this is their first win of the year after losses to Kildare, Carlow and UCD in the O'Byrne Cup while Division 3 table-toppers Fermanagh edged out the Wee County by nine points last week in Round One.
Early points from David Tubridy and Shane Hickey gave Clare a two point lead with three minutes played. Colm Judge cut the gap before Tubridy and Hickey pointed again to extend Clare's lead to three. Colin Kelly's Louth hit four unanswered points in the space of six minutes to put them one ahead, the scores courtesy of Ryan Burns, Conor Grimes and Colm Judge.
Doonbeg man David Tubridy levelled proceedings on the eighteenth minute before Adrian Reid fired past Joe Hayes in the Clare net to leave three points between the sides. Colm Collins' charges hit four points in succession from the boots of Shane McGrath, Tubridy and Shane Hickey to leave the Banner ahead by the minimum at the interval.
Immediately after the restart, Louth substitute Derek Maguire equalised. Shortly after, Clare retained the lead with points via Shane McGrath and David Tubridy. After passing a late fitness test, Podge Collins entered the fray three minutes into the second half as a result of a black card for Ciarán Russell.
With forty minutes on the clock, Colm Judge pointed for the Wee County, the Banner responded with efforts from McGrath and Tubridy sailing between the posts. Incidentally Tubridy's point on the forty second minute turned out to be Clare's last score in the affair.
Despite being down three points, Louth regrouped and hit nine points without reply to secure the all important two points and get their League campaign off the mark. Four points from the boot of Ryan Burns along with efforts Adrian Reid, Conor Grimes, Shane O'Hanlon and two from Declan Byrne guaranteed the victory.
It's back to the drawing board for Colm Collins and his management team of Ger Keane and Ephie Fitzgerald. Like their first round clash they coughed up possession too easily but unlike their league opener they got punished for it this time. For now they will work on these areas and improve on them for the next outing which takes place in three weeks versus Sligo at home in Cusack Park. Shane McGrath, Gordon Kelly and David Tubridy did well for the Banner.
A win was very important for Louth in this tie. First of all, it is their first win of 2015 and this milestone of sorts brings with it a number of positives, it will boost morale and confidence within the camp but it will also take some pressure off both the players and manager Colin Kelly. To their credit, Louth kept plugging away at stages when Clare were dominating and when their opposition faded, they took complete advantage. Ryan Burns, Colm Judge, Conor Grimes and Kevin Toner stood out for the winners. Next up for is a home tie against Wexford in three weeks.
Louth: Neil Gallagher (Cooley Kickhams), Kevin Toner (St Patricks), Patrick Reilly (Naomh Bríd), Pádraig Rath (Dreadnots), Derek Crilly (Dundalk Gaels), Dessie Finnegan (St Patricks), Darren O'Hanlon (St Patricks), Bevan Duffy (St Fechins), Eoin O'Connor (St Patricks), Adrian Reid (Mattock Rangers) (1-01), Daniel O'Connor (St Patricks), Daniel Byrne (Naomh Mochta) (0-02 1f), Ryan Burns (Hunterstown Rovers) (0-05 2f), Conor Grimes (Glen Emmets)(0-03), Colm Judge (Newtown Blues) (0-0 1f). Subs: Ruairí Moore (O'Rallhallans) for E O'Connor (H/T), Derek Maguire (Éire Óg) (0-01) for D O'Connor (H/T), Anthony Williams (Dreadnots) for Crilly, James Stewart (Dundalk Gaels) for O'Hanlon (55:36), Shane O'Hanlon (Dundalk Gaels) (0-01) for Reid (BC) (58:29).

Anal melanoma is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Limited data are available regarding oncologic outcomes during the last decade and surgical practice patterns. This study aimed to investigate survival and operative oncologic outcomes for patients with anal melanoma.
The National Cancer Database (2004–2013) was used to identify patients with nonmetastatic anal melanoma who underwent surgical treatment. The primary outcome was overall survival.
The study enrolled 439 patients in the local excision group and 214 patients in the abdominoperineal resection (APR) group. The patients in the APR group were older (70 vs 65 years; p < 0.001) and had larger tumors (40 vs 25 mm; p < 0.001). After resection, the APR patients were more likely to have positive lymph nodes (65.7% vs 12.5%; p < 0.001) and less likely to have positive margins (10% vs 29.8%; p < 0.001). Overall survival did not differ significantly between the APR and local excision patients (hazard ratio [HR], 0.82; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.67–1.01; p = 0.06). The patients undergoing local excision showed was a significant survival advantage for those with negative margins (HR, 0.70, 95% CI, 0.53–0.93; p = 0.009). Among the patients undergoing APR, a significant survival advantage was observed for those with negative nodes (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.35–0.69; p = 0.002) and negative margins (HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.15–0.77; p < 0.001).
The overall survival of anal melanoma patients is similar after local excision and APR. Patients with positive margins, positive lymph nodes, or both have a significantly decreased overall survival.

Insolvency Profession Disappointed Over Loss of 'No Win No Fee'
Posted on 20 January 2016
Insolvency Practitioners and R3 have expressed disappointment with the government's decision to end the exemption for insolvency litigation from the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO).
The Insolvency exemption from LASPO Act allowed for certain costs to be reclaimed from losing defendants in insolvency litigation.
The reason that the exemption was so important to Insolvency Practitioners is that it enabled them to take legal action for recoveries that would be beneficial to creditors when they may not otherwise have funds with which to take action for recovery.
Philip Sykes, president of R3, said, "We are deeply disappointed by the Ministry of Justice's decision. It's a decision that flies in the face of all available evidence. The government is potentially writing off hundreds of millions of pounds per year owed to not just the HMRC, but to hundred, if not thousands, of ordinary honest businesses as well."
"The Only winners today are the rogue traders and others who refuse to repay money owed to creditors after an insolvency. We're back to an uneven playing field, where rogue directors hold all the cards - and cash."

Thank you for all of the well wishes, kind thoughts and stories you shared about your own experience with losing dogs and other pets. I definitely know I am not alone with the pain I am feeling, and it really does help to be assured that we made the right choice for the dog we loved. It wasn't an easy decision in the least, but we know it was the best thing for Lucky, and that is really all that matters.
To lighten it up around here a little bit, I thought I would share a super easy recipe for two that I made last night for dinner. I had a pound of ground turkey thawed out in the refrigerator, and I thought it would be a good idea to try and get two meals out of the meat. Burgers automatically came to mind, but I thought I would put a little spin on the usual patties by adding in two unexpected ingredients.
Sesame-Asian Burgers
1/2 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Sesame Ginger Seasoning (If you don't have this seasoning, try 1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake, and a pinch of sea salt)
Heat grill-pan over medium heat.
Combine turkey, soy sauce and seasoning, then form into two patties (or 4 mini patties for Sesame-Asian Sliders)
Drizzle olive oil around grill pan and add burgers. Cook 6-7 minutes on the first side, then flip and grill 5-6 minutes on the second side, or until meat is fully cooked.
Add burger to a warmed bun and serve alongside boiled edamame, sprinkled with a touch of sea salt.
You can top the burger with whatever you would like. I chose a spread of olive oil mayonnaise, and my husband added provolone cheese and mayo as well. If you had extra time, these would taste amazing with an Asian coleslaw on top.
What are your favorite burger flavors? Toppings?
Who likes edamame? I love it, so addicting!

Whilst I have always had more than a passing interest in micronations founding YPT, opening bars and other projects kinda got in the way of my Micronational obsession. As John Lennon said "life is what happens when you're busy doing other things". But you cannot keep a good micronationalist down. And last year, I started to write about and explore the subject matter again. With my articles on "what is a micronation", "micronations", and "how to build a country in 10 easy steps" being without doubt literary classics to befit Al Gore's internet.
Lets Buy An Island
So, starting my own country and buying an island were not actually new ideas of mine. In fact, I'd owned the domain www.letsbuyanisland.com for 10 years. With my initial idea being for thousands of investors to pay $50 or so each. And then club together, buy island, and run said nation. Alas at this juncture, I kinda had my work cut out with Young Pioneer Tours. And in all honesty didn't have the skills or support to make this project work. But the idea never left me…..
The Seed
Ten years is a long time in any industry. But for YPT, it seemed to have aged me like a fine wine. Men indeed are trees. And over this time I had not only learnt more but I had met a lot of people. One of the people that I had met literally owned island in Palawan. One we would rent out every now and again. Towards the end of last year, I contacted him about renting his island, only to find out it was for sale. My spidy senses started to tingle.
The start
Hearing the island was for sale, I put the word out through Facebook. To find no surprises in that lots of people thought that buying an island would be a damned good idea. Alas buying the island in The Philippines was not particularly practical. But as a group, we decided to purchase an island somewhere if we could not get that island.
The concept
I then spent the next month working on the practicalities about how to crowdfund buying an island. How much could we charge? How many members would we look for? It was decided that $3250 (with a ten percent deposit) over 120 people would raise about $400k, enough to purchase and do up our very own island. Essentially an amount of money people could afford without breaking the bank, and an amount of people (120), which was big enough to keep it interesting, but no so big it would put people off. And after almost no-time we had 30 paid up investors.
The Nation
Was it Mao that said you cannot make an omelet without breaking some eggs? We decided that we would keep our nation building a lot less violent, and most importantly make it a democratic project. Within a fast few weeks we had a country name, an elected Prime-Minister, and a flag, we were to be the Principality of Islandia. We already make our own country!
The corporate stuff
So, making your own country something democratic is fun, but you also have to deal with pesky "real" governments. As well as one of the core parts of this project, to run a profit-making enterprise. We manifested this into a Cayman Islands registered company known as IBG Inc. led by myself as CEO, and run by corporate law.
Any my role?
My aim when I first started this project was to have something, big, bad, democratic, and much bigger than me. I intend to lead this project for the first two years, before handing it over to someone equally or better qualified, and knowing me head onto something else. Oh, and to pre-empt media! This is nothing to do with YPT other than sharing some of the same members. I'm an entrepreneur, what can I say?
Where do you stand today?
The project is still less than 10 months old from its official start, and under a year old from its unofficial start (excluding the 10 years ago bit), and we are already on 74/120 required investors. In short, we're in good shape, particularly when you factor in that most members are friends and friends of friends. Essentially, we're not even public yet, and when are this will move quickly!
How do I get involved?
If you want to get involved with us the best way is obviously to buy a share of the island (which you can do via this link), or if you don't happen to have $3k plus lying around your sky rocket, then we offer citizenship for $12 (again follow that link).
So, yes crowdfunding buying an island to run as a micronation might not be the most "normal" thing you can do, but if you really think about it, if nothing else at worst, this is the world's coolest timeshare!

2015 Samsung Galaxy S6 Mini Smartphone Price in India, Review
Along with the "growing" trend of phablet flagships each year, it shouldn't surprise us that "mini" versions of these popular flagships have become a thing in order to cater to the crowd of people who prefer smartphones of a smaller size (such as yours truly). While mini versions are definitely a great idea, what's not so great about them is that typically the smaller versions of such flagships have very little in common with their larger progenitors. While the minis might tout the name of the flagship, they don't usually act like it.
2015 Samsung Galaxy S6 Mini Smartphone Price in India, Review
But it would be a disservice to manufacturers if I didn't admit that they have improved somewhat over the past couple of years, and aren't necessarily the complete joke that they used to be. With that in mind, only one "mini" has truly stuck out in my mind as being worthy of their flagship name, and that's the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.
I'm hoping that this year I can include Samsung's mini as well.
In the past, I have not been impressed with the Samsung Galaxy S minis. The Galaxy S4 Mini wasn't good, and the Galaxy S5 Mini was better, but still not great. These minis fell into the category of looking like their larger versions, but a far cry from acting like them. With the Samsung Galaxy S6, I feel like Samsung would be doing a great disservice to their latest refresh if they didn't take a clue from Sony and make the S6 Mini as close to the original S6 as possible.

St Patrick's Day Parade and Festival by the Singapore River
St Patrick's day has evolved from a religious holiday to what it is today. Join in on the fun at Boat Quay and help the Irish celebrate with dance, drink, and food!It's odd how St Patrick's Day, a holiday which strongly symbolises the Irish and their culture, honours a man who isn't Irish at all! St Patrick was from Roman Britain, the areas of Britain ruled by the Roman Empire.
Through a series of life changing events, Patrick's grand destiny was to convert pagan Celts to Catholicism during the 5th century. For his effort in banishing paganism from Ireland, Patrick was granted Sainthood, and every March 17th honours his deeds.
Where Did the Snakes Go?
Although St Patrick was attributed with casting snakes from Ireland, the reality is Ireland never had snakes. The verdant isolated island, called Ireland, was surrounded by waters either too frigid or too far for any slithering types to traverse. The myth is symbolic for banishing paganism from Ireland.
Clovers Aren't Just for Decorations
The iconic green three-leaf clover motif commonly used as decorations was also used by St Patrick back in the day. Although the meaning may be lost to most people today, St Patrick used the three leaves of the clover to represent their Holy Trinity – God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
Not So Lucky Leprechauns
Leprechauns, for some reason, also appear frequently during St Patrick's Day. These green little folklore fairies have nothing to do with the Saint, though they remain symbolic of Ireland's mythological (read pagan) past. Weren't they supposed to be banished?
Join the Parade
Traditionally, St Patrick's Day was a minor religious (read sober) day ending with a big meal. With a bit of American influence, the holiday was supersized. Today, it has become a festival for celebrating Irish dance, music, beer drinking, and wearing gaudy green clothes by many around the world. And Singapore is no exception.
For a decade, Boat Quay has been the venue for Singapore's St Patrick's Day Street Festival honouring the patron Saint of Ireland! This year, the parade will begin in front of The Arts House and end at the UOB Plaza on Sunday 15th March.
This year, the parade will begin in front of The Arts House and end at the UOB Plaza on Sunday 15th March.
Participants will include the Singapore Pipe Band Association, The Irish Chamber of Commerce, Down Syndrome Association, St. Patrick's Society, The Irish Graduates Association, Gaelic Dragons Dragon Boat Team, USA Girl Scouts Overseas (Singapore) and the SJI International School & Samba Band.
St Patrick's Day Festivities
Join the festivities along Boat Quay on 13 -15 March and enjoy Irish music, cultural performances, Irish food and various fringe activities for the whole family. And don't miss the numerous pubs and restaurants participating with promotions on Irish themed food and drink along the Boat Quay area. Here are some highlights.
Irish Flavours during the Festivities
Even the French bistro, O Comptoir, on the corner of Circular Road, will join in on the fun with their stylish crepe emblazoned with a green sugar coated three clover called the St Patrick Crepe for $6. (79 Circular Road, Tel: 6534 7645)
Down the Road, at Hero's Bar, indulge yourself and friends at one of their tables which comes with two fully functional draft beer taps! But book early to get on these rare tables. They will also be serving The Paddy's, a sandwich made from thinly-sliced corned beef with Irish Cheddar with a side of fries for $12. Who knew that brined and boiled beef briskets, aka "corned beef", was an Irish dish. (69 Circular Road, Tel: 6438 6058)
Molly Malone's will be serving their famed Guinness battered Fish and Chips for $10, and add a glass of Guinness for $7 more. Or go for their Mussel Fritters served with lime mayo paired with Jameson's Irish Whisky for $17. (56 Circular Road, Tel: 6536 2029)
Facing the river on Boat Quay, have a pint of Red Dot Brewhouse's signature Monster Green Lager. It's a strangely beautiful looking beer brewed naturally from green spirulina to give it the iridescent green colour. A pint plus the Spring Irish Lamb Stew is $38++. (33/34 Boat Quay, Tel: 6535 4500)
The street will be filled with music, girls will be jigging, and beers will be flowing. So go dressed in green, and be Irish for a day! Cheers.

It is not a three leaf CLOVER it is called SHAMROCK which is smaller than CLOVER and does not grow anywhere else but Ireland.
I have brought the seeds back from Ireland to Singapore and have been unsuccessful growing this.
I am a keen gardener and took very good care of the seeds in a pot but had no joy.
The fact that there where no snakes in Ireland is true but the snakes are referred to the Devil worship and paganism as the Devil is always symbolized as a Serpent.
Thanks for the input. According to some sources, the definition varies.
"The shamrock refers to the young sprigs of clover or trefoil. It is known as a symbol of Ireland, with St. Patrick having used it as a metaphor for the Christian Trinity, according to legend. The name shamrock is derived from Irish seamróg, which is the diminutive version of the Irish word for clover (seamair) meaning simply "little clover" or "young clover""
Interesting. We used to have flower beds full of them at St Patrick's School along East Coast Road.
I'm not sure if they still there, though.
Though this festival is recently brought in my country, it's not a part of our history nor culture to celebrate this festival.
I don't think it was meant to be. It's just fun to experience other cultures!
Good one, Kannan. Makes you wonder if *OUR* very own cultures are even **celebrated** in a big way by the Irish in Ireland itself. Never mind elsewhere in the *superior* West.
Well, Chinese culture lives in many Chinatowns around the world. And CNY is often celebrated in those cities.
Singapore is still a young culture. And small one as well.
But we have started "Singapore Day" in other cities. It's still early days and it will take some time to become as big as the others.
We've got patience.
London UK for one. CNY is a very big event very year.
Hi there,
You mentioned Irish Dancing would be part of the Parade and celebrations but there's no mention of the name of the group that will be performing. The group is called The Irish Inspirational Dancers and there will be close to 100 dancers performing on both Saturday and Sunday.
Many thanks
The details weren't available at the time of writing. But thanks for the update!
Hi, I'm not sure what the good folk of Brittany will think on reading that their region was part of Britain. Brittany was part of what the Romans called Amorica in northern France(Gaul). Most historians think that St Patrick was from Cumbria in Northern England, captured by pirates aged 16 and taken as a slave to Ireland.
Thanks Thomas. The place of origin should have been ROMAN BRITAIN. Not ROMAN Brittany.
Why for this music is allowed
I've just moved to Singapore and I didn't quite realise the resentment towards people from Western cultures which are apparent in a few of the comments here.
I'm from Australia – Chinese new year celebrations occur in every city in Australia and I would say in many cities across the US, England, Scotland and Ireland where there are Chinese populations. Halloween is not Australian, English, Scottish or Irish but is also celebrated by some even though it has no historical relevance to those countries.

Have you anytime wondered how some of the a lot of acce […]
Have you anytime wondered how some of the a lot of accepted elements of your admired accustomed items (like cars) are made? They are usually created in a action alleged "die casting." It is a action area metal is molded into a appropriate shape. It's a rather simple (but intense) action that is generally taken for accepted in our use of the articles fabricated through die casting .
This action is aswell declared as "metal casting." It is completed by banishment aqueous metal (metals acrimonious to a point area they become a molten/fluid) into a casting beneath acutely top pressures. The molds are usually fabricated of animate and appear in two pieces. They are shaped and plan commensurable to bang molds. A lot of of these die casts are fabricated of metals like aluminum and zinc.
Because the action is so acute and costly, it is usually bound to top volumes of production. The absolute action consists of alone four capital steps. This keeps incremental costs down and makes die casting best ill-fitted appear ample amounts of baby to average sized castings. You can acquaint something has been die casting by its apple-pie and acceptable superior apparent finish. The abstracts of the casting are aswell actual consistent.
Die casting was aboriginal invented in the aboriginal 1800s. It was aboriginal acclimated for the press industry but anon afterwards helped in the advance of customer products. It basically fabricated the assembly of intricate locations affordable in top volumes. There are basically two altered types of die casting machines - hot alcove and algid chamber. Whether the alcove acclimated in the action of die casting is hot or algid depends abundantly on the blazon of metal used.
Hot alcove machines use a basin of molten/liquid metal to augment the die. The aqueous metal about fills a "gooseneck," afterwards which a agent armament the metal out and into the die itself. It is characterized by fast aeon times (15 per minute) and convenience. Unfortunately, metals that accept actual top melting credibility cannot be used. These accommodation are acclimated with metals like zinc, tin and advance based metals.
Cold alcove machines if hot alcove machines are not accessible to use. Aluminum is die casting application algid alcove machines. Other metals acclimated with this blazon of apparatus are magnesium and copper. With algid alcove die casting machines, however, the metal needs to be broiled in a abstracted furnace. The pre-melted metal is again fed into an unheated alcove and is apprenticed into the die via hydraulics/mechanics. Algid accommodation accept appreciably slower aeon times, additional the aggravation of pre-melting the metal.

Thanks to those who have sent me comments so far. If you would like to add a testimonial to this page please leave a comment on the home page or email me at email@example.com
"I am not a fan of dentists, well that was until I visited the Dental Studio where I received such a lovely welcome on my first visit. Right from the beginning they put my mind at ease and this has never changed. The whole team are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. I would happily recommend them to all my friends." Amanda, Greystones
"Before I started using Dr. Sweeney as my dentist, I had a small phobia about dentists. But not any more. She is fantastic with patients of all ages. My kids (10 and 7) actually look forward to going to the dentist ( a far cry from when I was a child). I heartily recommend her." Terry xxx
"Myself and my wife have been patients of Chris Sweeney since we moved to Greystones over three years ago. We have always found Chris to be most welcoming and great at putting you at your ease. You always feel that you are getting a completely individual treatment.
Her new clinic at The Dental Studio in Greystones is a wonderfully bright, clean and efficient place, which is a pleasure to visit. Chris has always been an advocate of keeping up with the latest practices and this is clearly shown in her new clinic, which has something new every time you attend. Chris's courteous and friendly manner are echoed in her staff who are always a pleasure to deal with." Clive Molloy
On entering reception you are greeted with a bright airy room with plenty of space and a friendliness from staff that helps to put you at ease. Thought went into the seating arrangements so you don't find yourself having to sit opposite anyone and it feels as if you have a little privacy. The staff go out of their way to chat to you and to try and help you relax and will always address you by your name. On observation when looking around you can see both the young and old alike with smiles on their faces totally at ease. On occasions I have had the dental nurse sit with me chatting and reassuring me. To have this friendliness is a wonderful attribute to any practice. The consultation room is also spacious, bright and airy and you can see exceptional hygiene everywhere. Throughout the consultation there is also tremendous encouragement to which I feel is very reassuring.
I would have no hesitation in recommending The Dental Studio to anyone as there is great teamwork there and time, care and interest is shown to every patient who attends. Marjorie Carroll

Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC) has revealed a finalised version of its new four-year medium-term management plan in which it aims to 'emerge onto a still wider stage.'
The Tier One corporation set its Ortus Stage 1 three-year medium-term management plan in 2015, which focused on strengthening TNSC's resources to increase its global competitiveness and establish a strong position within the market.
The new Ortus Stage 2 plan, which will commence in fiscal year 2018, rolls on from the first scheme and will focus on the promotion of profitable growth.
Under the policy, TNSC aims to generate revenues of approximately ¥800bn ($7bn), compared to ¥580bn ($5bn) in 2015.
Basic policies under stage two of the business plan also include expanding its domestic gas business, accelerating its R&D strategy, continuing its globalisation policy and a structural reform. A statement from TNSC explained, "Rapid strategy execution is indispensable in responding to overseas market growth and oligopolisation."
TNSC's new policy targets expansion in three key geographical areas. Firstly, the company plans to consolidate its leading position domestically in Japan by expanding gas and all gas-related business by maximising group synergy.
In the US, the industrial gas giant plans to build the depth of its presence in new business areas by expanding its product groups through active capital investment and mergers and acquisitions (M&A).
In Asia and Oceania, TNSC aims to improve its market share in new regions and business undertakings in unoccupied regions via the reinforcement of governance through regional holding companies.
Under Ortus Stage 2, TNSC also revealed plans to invest ¥340bn ($3bn) over a four-year period, of which 70% will be allocated to strategic investments. These investments will centre on M&A and large-scale capital expenditures both nationally and internationally.
Additionally, TNSC has announced it will expand its business territory and reinforce operational density; acquire new products, technologies and supply chains; and expand its medical business.

The rain came early this year. My concern goes out to family and friends in Pasir Mas, Wakaf Bahru and all over Kelantan. The heavy rain will come with devastating flood and agonizing days of glooming weather. I pray for their safety and strength. Flood is very common in Kelantan and the neighboring Terengganu as it is the end-of the-year event. But ironically I don't see any massive effort to minimize its consequences. As if every year as fate has it, the people of Kelantan and Terengganu will face this disaster to wrap up the year. The rescue efforts will pop up during the prime time news bulletin to show some big people riding the speedboat like some tourists from a foreign country. But the people are used to all these and never expect anything more to come and give them a sincere help. We moved our cars, cows and other animals to the higher ground and hope for the best. That is our solution to the problem which is not very good at all but what else to do. They want to build a 100-storey building that costs billions of ringgit and despise the agony of the people; what a schmuck! This is one of the reasons why the people of Kelantan never trust those politicians from KL.
I was shocked to find out that my friend Abd Latif has passed away. He was my colleague in UiTM Dungun as well as my student in an MBA class. He was very friendly and easy to get along. May Allah accept him among the soleheen. Good bye my dear friend!
Yesterday we were delighted to receive the news that two of my colleague from FSKM have been promoted to professor. Prof Dr Nor laila and Prof Dr Azlinah Mohamad. What a great news! They both deserve the new title. Both of them work very hard and have contributed a lot to the academia. Congratulations!
Many of my friends are also going for hajj.Alhamdulillah. It's not an easy thing to do so being chosen to have such opportunity is very lucky. Many of them are among the million Muslim converging in Mecca. They will go and come back with thousands of tales and stories. But the most important thing is whether they learn from all those stories.

Transocean Ltd., the world's largest offshore driller, offered to buy Norway's Aker Drilling ASA for 7.9 billion kroner ($1.4 billion) to expand its fleet of rigs able to drill in deep water and rough seas.
The 26.50 kroner a share offer is a 98 percent premium to Aker's closing price on Aug. 12. Aker also has $800 million in debt. Investors, including Aker Capital AS, with 60.5 percent of the shares agreed to sell and the board recommended the offer.
This "allows us to enhance our position in Norway where we have enjoyed a long-term presence and excellent customer relationships," Transocean Chief Executive Officer Steven Newman said in the statement. The New York-listed company is Zug, Switzerland, based and has its largest office in Houston.
Rising oil prices have increased exploration budgets and added demand for rigs able to operate in harsh and deepwater environments such as the Arctic and Brazil. Stricter rules after last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill, where Transocean's Deepwater Horizon rig exploded and sank, have also increased demand for more modern rigs and boosted costs for newbuilds.
The offer for Stavanger-based Aker Drilling follows Ensco Plc's $8.5 billion bid for Pride International Inc. in February at a 23 percent premium to the pre-bid closing price.
"It's a good price if you look at the implied rig value and it's a good price compared to other similar companies," said Jarle Sjo, a portfolio manager for Odin Offshore, which holds 1.9 million of Aker Drilling shares and accepted the bid. "It's quite a positive indicator for the whole rig business to see that the industrial players have a different view on valuation than the stock market."
Aker rose as much as 98 percent to a record 26.4 kroner a share and was at 26.2 kroner by 12:39 p.m. in Oslo. The stock had plunged to as low as 13.35 kroner after listing in February. Transocean rose as much as 6.5 percent in Swiss trading.
Aker Drilling owns and operates two of the world's largest semi-submersible drilling units, the Aker Barents and the Aker Spitsbergen, off the shores of Norway. The company also has two ultra deepwater drillships being built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. in South Korea and due for delivery in 2013. The payment obligation when the drillships are delivered is $900 million.
The deal will be funded with current cash and debt, without any financing conditions, Transocean said in a statement today.
"This bid values the four ultra-deep water rigs at $797 million per rig, compared to our replacement estimates of $807 million," said Kim Andre Uggedal, a Terra Markets AS analyst with a "buy" rating. "It's a fair valuation. We also see that the opportunities for Transocean to capitalize on these growth opportunities in Aker Drilling, such as the two unused options, would be better for Transocean given its funding capacity."
The offer requires acceptances for at least two-thirds of voting shares of Aker Drilling, and the maintenance of the board recommendation, Transocean said today. The offer document is expected to be sent to Aker Drilling shareholders in the week of Aug. 21 and the offer period will be 20 U.S. business days.
Transocean used Morgan Stanley and Fearnley Fonds AS as financial advisers and Wikborg Rein & Co. as a legal adviser. Aker Drilling used Goldman Sachs Group Inc. as its financial adviser and BA-HR as legal adviser.
Aker Drilling was relisted in Oslo in February, three years after being taken off the exchange to avoid a takeover by billionaire John Fredriksen's Seadrill Ltd. The two companies couldn't agree on terms after merger talks at the start of the year, according to Aker ASA CEO Oeyvind Eriksen. Seadrill chief Alf Thorkildsen said this year his company was still interested.
Thorkildsen wasn't immediately available for comment when called by Bloomberg News today. Seadrill is the owner of the world's second-largest fleet of deepwater rigs.
In a June interview, Eriksen said Aker had invited "all drillers that may have an interest" in consolidation talks.
Aker is owned by Norwegian billionaire Kjell Inge Roekke, who also controls Norway's largest maker of oil platforms Aker Solutions ASA.
"The bid is highly likely to be accepted," Pareto Securities ASA analyst Frank Harestad wrote in a note to clients. "The bid has a positive read through for the drilling sector and the ultra-deepwater names in particular — Pacific Drilling SA, Ocean Rig and Sevan Drilling."
