Best Australian Authors For Children's Fiction: Since our eldest began attending prep two years ago, Book Week has become one of our favourite annual school events. Where else is there a legitimate occasion to go everywhere dressed up as your favourite character without the need for a costume party invite. I've just attended the children's Book Week parade at their school in the capacity of 'parent paparazzi' and as usual, I loved every bit of it.
Book Week 2016's Australian Theme
This year's theme had been 'Australian Authors' and 'Australia, Country'. The kids did so well this year echoing strong themes from animal and bush life to crime and mystery. This was evident in the large numbers of colourful furry animal onesies sighted from hopping bullfrogs and happy kangaroos to teeth-baring, teeth-snapping crocodiles. We were impressed with the brave kid dressed as notorious Ned Kelly armed with finger handguns as he 'shot down' onlookers at the parade growling beneath his foil-covered-cardboard-boxed helmet. Definitely more menacing (and entertaining) than the number of wildlife creatures that outnumbered him.
It was fun to watch the adults come out to play too. The Deputy Principal came decked out in full cow-girl semblance donning a very iconic Akubra 'Man In Snowy River' hat complete with bush gear and boots. Our classroom teachers, in their red, pink and green golliwog-wigs-masquerading-as-woolly-sheep in matching tee-shirts revealed they were big fans of Mem Fox's bestselling title, 'Where's The Green Sheep?"
I'll admit I found it a bigger challenge this year to decide on costumes with the Australian theme. However I thought we did well under the circumstances! This year my children went as 'Queenie the Bantam' (the wonderful Bob Graham) and 'Hairy-nosed wombat' (from one of Jackie French's less well- known titles from her famous wombat books).
What I Learnt From Book Week 2016
On the whole,this entire exercise for Book Week 2016 has got me thinking about a couple of issues. One that stood out was how few titles most parents (even Aussie ones) could roll off their tongue regarding Australian-authored children's literature. It seems, after speaking with many mums like myself, that we unanimously agree that our children mostly read foreign-authored titles in their genre, such as British or American authors.
How About Book Week At Work Instead Of Casual Friday?
The other issue is an idea. In my mind, it would be such a hoot if only the government would extend Book Week to work places. So instead of casual Friday, working adults could come to work dressed as their favourite book characters. I know, I know. It's never going to happen. Few adults have the time to read these days, let alone want to promote reading. At best, most would think it's pure frivolity, isn't it. But I bet there's a higher chance of a few adults preferring to come dressed as their favourite character from sports or from a movie or TV series. That's something that quite clearly reveals the ways in which we're choosing to spend our leisure time in Australia. Make that the world. Haven't you heard?Research has shown that our biggest challenge today is helping our children cope with dealing with boredom! The youth today want to be entertained, not educated. I see that as a problem, don't you?
The last issue is what this post is about: to find great Australian children's literature to love. So, just where can we find the some of the best Australian authors for Children's fiction?
Here's our curated list to kick this thought off, if you haven't become acquainted with these wonderful Aussie authors and titles yet. It's a great time as any this Book Week season to get your children started on enjoying the best of what Book Week should be about: cultivating a lifelong passion for books and one of the most underrated pastimes known to humans today: reading, instead of swiping on that dreadful phone. You know I'm talking to someone here, don't you.
Some Great Australian Authors To Love
Mem Fox
Mem Fox is no stranger to Australians. Australia's most highly regarded picture-book author, her first book, Possum Magic, is the best selling children's book ever locally with sales of over three and a half million. 'Time for Bed' in the USA has sold over a million copies. Time for Bed just happens to be on Oprah's list of the twenty best children's books of all time.
I highly recommend 'Reading Magic' for parents on discovering how your child can learn to read before school and other 'read aloud miracles'.
Below are just a handful of some of the best from Mem Fox:
Possum Magic
Time for Bed
Where is The Green Sheep?
Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes
A Giraffe In The Bath
Two Little Monkeys
Yoohoo! Ladybug!
Judy Horacek
Judy Horacek is an extremely creative and gifted artist, She's most famous for being an Australian cartoonist, artist, writer and children's book creator. Her cartoons have been featured on many major Australian newspapers. Words are an important part of her cartoons, and often take precedence over the beautiful illustrations she draws. After a successful collaboration illustrating for Mem Fox, she began creating her own series of children's picture books. She is a popular visiting artist for school children and also an after-dinner speaker for grown-up audiences.
Some picks from Judy Horacek:
The Story of Growl
These are my hands
If you can't stand the heat
Yellow is my favourite colour
This & That
Bob Graham
Bob Graham is a talented illustrator & writer who knows just how to capture the imagination of children. I'd think of him as our local Roald Dahl with quirky stories well-imbued with the right punch of humour and wit clever enough for kids to understand. Bob Graham began his early training by studying drawing and painting before moving to the UK. In 1969 he returned to Sydney where he began his illustrious career as both illustrator and designer. Graham won the 2002 Kate Greenaway Medal from the British librarians, recognising the year's best-illustrated children's book published in the UK, for the picture book Jethro Byrd, Fairy Child. We love that his books are full of heart and soul, usually with strong moral codes behind each well-thought, delightfully heartfelt story.
My favourite list of titles from the wonderful Bob Graham:
Queenie & The Bantam (our Book Week 2016 choice)
Sandy Beach
Spirit Of Hope
Silver Buttons
A Bus Called Heaven
Jack's Little Party
April & Esme, Tooth Fairies
Monsieur Albert Rides To Glory
How The Sun Got To Coco's House
Miracle On Separation Street
Brand New Baby
How To Heal A Broken Wing
Jackie French
Jackie French is perhaps most well-known as the author of 'Diary of a Wombat', a throughly successful project and collaboration between Jackie French and illustrator Bruce Whatley.
Their seamless partnership has produced Australia's most famous children's book (further made famous by Suri, daughter of Tom Cruise) chronicling the busy life of Mothball, a "wombat with attitude" who wrestles other unknown creatures, runs her own digging business and even trains her humans. It's both a hilarious and fun read for younger children.
Other great Jackie French books:
Pete The Sheep
Diary of A Wombat
Christmas Wombat
The Secret World Of Wombats
Diary of A Baby Wombat
Baby Wombat's Week
Wombat Goes To School
Wombat Wins
The Hairy-nosed Wombats Move House (Our choice for Book Week 2016)
Andy Griffiths
Andy Griffiths, or Andrew Noel "Andy" Griffiths, is an Australian children's book author and comedy writer. He was touted to be our Australian version of JK Rowling in the genre of children's literature. Judging by the soaring sales of his bestselling Treehouse series, this could well be true. Other than being a writer, he is also most notable for his Just! series, which was converted into an animated television series called 'What's with Andy'? His most well-known series has always been the 'treehouse' series of books spotted beneath the buried noses of most school-going children in Australia who do read.
It all began with the success of 'The 13-Storey Treehouse' that spurned a whole series of more and more added 'storeys'. A snapshot of what the series entails would be one of the most enjoyable reads from the series—The 39-Storey Treehouse. In Griffith's and illustrator Terry Denton's 39-storey tree house, there are plenty of curious wonders such as a chocolate waterfall, a non-erupting active volcano, a baby dinosaur petting zoo and the Believe It Or Else museum. To date, the fame of the series has now risen up to the 78-storey Treehouse.

Happy Book Week. Do yourself and the kids a favour and turn off that darned phone, won't you. Read to them. They won't be bored, I promise.

It's official! Ranveer and Deepika's wedding is well on track
Ranveer and Deepika's wedding plans are on
It's been raining weddings in B-town and all the top ladies are getting married one after the other. It all started with Anushka Sharma's Italian wedding with Virat. Then came the official announcement from the Kapoor brothers on Sonam and Anand's wedding. The next to join this list is the star couple Ranveer and Deepika. Rumors of Ranveer and Deepika's wedding has been doing rounds for a long time now. It looks like the couple has finally decided to step into the next phase of their life.
All set to happen in November
Ranveer and Deepika's wedding is expected to be one big event in Bollywood. Reports suggest that Deepika's team has confirmed her marriage with Ranveer and it is expected to happen in the month of November. Though nothing has been confirmed officially sources say that both of their families have met privately and fixed a date for the wedding.Another source from Deepika's team confirmed that the whole team has been asked to not take any leaves in the month of November. From the makeup artist to the manager everyone has been asked to not take any leaves during November to make sure that everyone graces the occasion with their presence.
Expected to be a Destination wedding
There has been a buzz that Ranveer- Deepika will go the Virat – Anushka way and probably end up in a destination wedding. It is to be noted that Virat and Anushka had their wedding happened in Italy. As they both are very private, they are not interested to have a long list of people attending their wedding and they would like to avoid the media glare and would only want their close friends and relatives to come up and grace the occasion.
It all started in 2013
They both began their relationship in 2013 when they acted together for a film called Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela. Talking about their relationship Deepika once said "when we are with each other, we don't need anything or anyone else. we are comfortable in each other's presence. We have both intelligent and childlike conversations and keep each other grounded. It feels good in that sense."
After making herself to Time's 100 most influential people of 2018, Deepika took it to Instagram and shared the news with all her fans. People throughout the world wished her for the achievement but what stood out was Ranveer's comment on the picture. He mentioned Deepika as 'queen' in that comment.
Earlier this year when asked about his relationship with Deepika, Ranveer said, 'It' s a relationship of mutual admiration. I rate her very highly as an actor, and she doesn't. She says 'you are just a ham'. He also added that she is 'awesome' and there is a lot to learn from her as an artist. When asked about their relationship without denying Ranveer said 'he is blessed to have her in his life'.
According to the latest reports, Deepika started shopping for the D Day. She is off duty now and she is recovering from a neck injury. She is spending some quality time with her parents and meanwhile, she started shopping for her marriage. Deepika with her sister and mother have been hitting the jewellery stores to pick a perfect one for her wedding.

As the container for your 'life support system' you need to pack your rucksack so that gear is easily accessible. Jackets are folded, rolled up and stored vertically like the other items in the main compartment to aid removal. Hopefully, you won't need the waterproof overtrousers so these can be placed horizontally at the bottom of the pack. The image below shows my packing method for endurance walks using a 26 litre rucksack.

Editor's Choice - Dec 23, 2014
I finished the drafting desk and chair about 3 weeks ago. Oak desk, chair is cherry with deep scoop poplar seat. For the work surface of the desk I used 3/4 inch plywood with piano henge and the screen out of an old rear projection 51 inch TV, which is a really hard surface. So far this combo has produced one drawing of a new project and several really nice afternoon naps. Also if you look really close on one of the shelves, yes, that is a pack of Oreos within arms reach. (My only vice). Thanks for looking.
Tools: table saw bandsaw thickness planer drum sander grinder with galahad scoop

Anyone expecting it this Spring is going to be upset... August/early September is when you're getting it for Ps3. Bank this and etch it stone. Remember me telling you this. Also of merit, the Ps3 version will have Tekken: the motion picture on the blu-ray disc as an unlock-able.
Don't forget Gamesblow when the bell tolls on this one, people.

text: Important announcement! First of all: LATE. So I complained about how difficult the uniforms were and oh, and behold, this was the hardest one oh my god! If I ever draw him again I dunno if I can have the patience to draw the uniform again. So uh, after this series I'm thinking of not drawing in manga-style for a while. By that I mean that I will not be drawing characters in their respective art styles. I'm doing this because I feel like I'm losing my own art style. It might sound a bit crazy, but it's true. I can draw my OC three times and result in three different versions. I'm taking a bit of a hiatus to go on a Pokemon journey to find my style again. It doesn't mean I'll stop drawing, but for a while I might not post for a while. I will still post the 8th drawing (minor character from the Kuroko no Basuke series) requested by you. Kuroko no Basuke; Kuroko no Basket; The basketball which Kuroko plays: Murasakibara Atsushi (too lazy to write the rest lol sports anime stuff OK)

The Ulster Farmers' Union is reminding all farmers this winter to take steps to protect their property and possessions from the damage a burst pipe can create.
UFU President, Barclay Bell said: "Simply take a few minutes to ensure that water pipes in and around farms and in outhouses and barns are protected and well insulated; if not, then take action now and potentially save money, time and the inconvenience of dealing with a burst pipe. If sheds or barns are not being used, make sure the water supply to them is disconnected."
At the Winter Fair the UFU will have materials on hand that can help farmers prepare for winter. For more information about protecting against frozenyour pipes contact NI Water.

As some of you may have noticed when logging into your (formerly known as) Google AdWords account recently, the tech giant has undergone some pretty extensive rebranding.
In fairness, it's long overdue – the Google AdWords product has been around now for 18 years, and having recently undergone a face-lift itself, it's proved an ideal time for a brand overhaul.
What's Changed, and Why
As an overview, AdWords is now Google Ads, while Double Click will be known as Google Marketing Platform and Google Ad Manager.
Looking at Google Ads specifically, the changes have been aimed at streamlining the user experience, while the interface itself has been redesigned to make it easier to navigate and quicker to load, all the while offering more insights into what is actually going on within the account.
Take searches like 'open now' and 'near me', for example – two terms that indicate a specific desire to locate local services – and the data shows a 200% increase in related searches over the last two years.
Mobile searches are on the rise too – a factor that has been addressed by making the new Ads experience easier to navigate while, with an eye on the long-term, ensuring the usability isn't going to put off more businesses signing up to advertise.
A recent article on ADWEEK noted this as a driving force behind the changes, suggesting that digital ad spend will increase 18.7% this year in the US alone, rising to $107.3 billion USD.
Importantly, it's also allowed Google to pave the way for what it calls 'Smart Campaigns'. These, in time, will appear as the default mode for small businesses on the platform, the idea being that by allowing them to pre-select a desired outcome, Google Ads will be able to use machine learning capabilities to drive more of those specific actions from the outset.

A survey by Manulife Bank of Canada says nearly half of Canadian homeowners are taking steps to whittle down their mortgage debt, but many would be in trouble if their monthly payments grew even slightly.
Manulife says 18% of homeowners made extra lump-sum payments towards their mortgages in the past year, while 17% increased their regular payments. Another 5% of respondents did both.
In total, 40% of the homeowners polled made extra mortgage payments during the past year, while 60% did not.
The average amount of additional mortgage payments was $6,300.
Manulife Bank of Canada's president and CEO Rick Lunny said it's encouraging that many homeowners are taking steps to reduce their mortgage debt.
However, the survey also found that more than a third of homeowners polled would face financial hardship if their mortgage payments increased by just 10%.
"Having your payments go up 10% sounds like a lot, but if you have a $200,000 mortgage and interest rates go up 1%, that's a 10% increase in your mortgage payments," Lunny said. "So there's not much room here for those people."
Meanwhile, another 15% of homeowners said they couldn't handle any increases at all in their mortgage payments.
"It's inevitable that interest rates will go up, because they're at historical lows and have been for some time," Lunny said.
However, Lunny noted that 79% of those polled said they would be willing to cut back on discretionary spending, such as eating out, in order to get out of debt — an indication that there is more wiggle room in their budgets than they may realize.
"These people probably, better than they think, would have the ability to make their mortgage payments, but it would have an impact on their lifestyle," Lunny said.
Manulife polled 2,372 Canadian homeowners in all provinces between Feb. 10 and 27. Respondents were all between the ages of 20 and 59 and had a minimum household income of $50,000.
The polling industry's professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
The Manulife survey found that Canadian homeowners are carrying an average of $190,000 in mortgage debt, with Albertans carrying the heaviest debt load — an average of $242,300.
That's followed by $217,300 in British Columbia, $196,900 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and $193,000 in Ontario.
Atlantic Canada has the lowest average mortgage debt, at $127,300.

Nate's Monday Morning Message
Nate's Monday Morning Message
"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do." - Pele
Welcome to this week's Monday Morning Message. Success is no accident. The most successful people we can study fall well within the terms outlined in this powerful quote. Learning, studying and being a master at your craft are essential components. Your commitment to the outcome will help you persevere through the rejection, the obstacles and the temporary set-backs. However, the love you have for what you are doing in life is a must. Don't settle for a job or career that doesn't bring your joy or fulfillment. Don't settle for goals that don't challenge you. Don't settle for mediocrity. Let's make it a great week!
One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts and asked to teach him bravery. The master looked at him and said: "I will teach you only with one condition: one month you will have to live in a big city and tell every person that you meet on your way that you are a coward. You will have to say it loudly, openly and looking straight into the person's eyes."
The person got really sad, because this task seemed very scary to him. For a couple of days he was very sad and thoughtful, but to live with his cowardice was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission.
At first, when meeting the passers, he quailed, lost his speech and couldn't contact anyone. But he needed to finish the master's task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his first passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But his voice sounded louder and more confident with every passing day.
Suddenly came a moment, when the man caught himself thinking that he's not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the master's task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him. That way a month had passed. The person came back to the master, bowed to him and said: "Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I'm not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this strange task will help me?"
"The thing is that cowardice is only a habit. And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the stereotypes and come to a conclusion that you came to. And now you know that bravery – is also a habit. And if you want to make bravery a part of yourself- you need to move forward into the fear. Then the fear will go away, and bravery will take its place."

Do you remember the moment you first realized that there is something like user experience? Probably not. Only looking back I realized that I already suffered from bad product UX as a young kid. And I bet you did too. I remember big fights with my family members: before every household had an obligatory flat-rate, internet use had to be fought for way harder than today. As soon as I had landed ten minutes of precious surfing time, siblings shouted into the computer room that they had to make the most important phone call of their lives – now! Getting offline for a phone call – definitely very bad UX. I remember my deflation: how can be a cool new thing like the internet be so unfun at times?
What everyday life teaches us about UX or: how I learned to see the (digital) world with different eyes

Grumman TF-9J Cougar
Pima Air and Space Museum Aircraft
Training Squadron 10 (VT-10), Pensacola Naval Air Station, Florida, 1973
Serial Number
Grumman TF-9J Cougar
Even before the Panther entered service the Navy and Grumman were examining the possibility of creating a swept-wing version of the aircraft. The appearance of the Soviet MiG-15 over Korea spurred on the process and the prototype made its first flight in September 1951. While the Cougar retained the F9F designation of the earlier Panther it was in reality an almost entirely new design bearing only a superficial resemblance to the Panther. Initially seen as an interim design the Cougar turned out to be very adaptable and several versions and modifications were made over its lifetime. The two-seat trainer version of the Cougar included a strengthened fuselage and landing gear, longer nose and other internal changes. Ironically, the only version of the Cougar to see combat was the TF-9J trainer. The Marine Corps used several in Vietnam as Forward Air Control aircraft. Eventually nearly 2,000 Cougars of all types were built and some remained is service as late as 1974.

We model spaser as an n-level quantum system and study a spasing geometry comprising of a metal nanosphere resonantly coupled to a semiconductor quantum dot (QD). The localized surface plasmons are assumed to be generated at the nanosphere due to the energy relaxation of the optically excited electron-hole pairs inside the QD. We analyze the total system, which is formed by hybridizing spaser's electronic and plasmonic subsystems, using the density matrix formalism, and then derive an analytic expression for the plasmon excitation rate. Here, the QD with three nondegenerate states interacts with a single plasmon mode of arbitrary degeneracy with respect to angular momentum projection. The derived expression is analyzed, in order to optimize the performance of a spaser operating at the triple-degenerate dipole mode by appropriately choosing the geometric parameters of the spaser. Our method is applicable to different resonator geometries and may prove useful in the design of QD-powered spasers.

"Muslim or Christian" is a false choice, just like "Democrat or Republican".
I hate Islam for what its worst followers do just as i hate Christianity for what its worst followers do.
On a global scale Muslims seem to be worse, but on the scale of my life I never encounter Muslims; only Christians- who try to control my life with their twisted religion-based laws, just like I am told the Muslims want to do.
I'm hard on Christians, but it's only because they are the only religious folk actively trying to shove their superstition down my throat. I don't like Islam, either, so, I feel like posting this:

Why screen for PEPs?
A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is an individual who is or has been entrusted with a prominent public position/function and extends to their immediate family members and close associates. Due to their position and influence, a PEP may be able to abuse their position in order to facilitate money laundering and/or terrorism financing (ML/TF) offences, including corruption and bribery.
Although there is no automatic link between a PEP and criminal activities, PEPs may pose an increased risk with regard to ML/TF.

All Reviews for Equallogic PS4000
Sort by
I had never used an enterprise class SAN prior to my first experience with the company's PS6000. We purchased a PS4000 and it sat idle on the rack for a good number of months because I had no experience with them. To be honest, it was a daunting piece of equipment hulking on our server rack. Finally got some help with it and it turned out I was afraid of nothing but a snoozing Pitbull puppy. Configuration was a snap, ease of integration into our current group was done in just about three clicks, and deployment via VMWare was by the book. Why only four stars? The Java web interface is a major turn off. It's slow, requires the latest java to work correctly (usually) and I want to see them move into something a little modern - HTML5 would be nice, but open to other ideas as long as it's not Java. You CAN manage them via an install via the SANHQ application, but it's just the java program running independently of a browser session. Overall however, very pleased with our PS series SANs.

I am for once almost unable to get my words out. I have spoken many times of the enjoyment, support and information from the blogs many people like myself follow. The blogs that allow complete strangers to vicariously become part of a community of dreamers. Those who have had a dream and are following it, just as Terry and I are planning to. I follow blogs that are overwhelmingly positive, that encourage those dreamers who follow their dreams. It has become an almost daily obsession, firing up the machine and opening the blogs in succession, for the thrill of an update, a new recipe, a new hatchling, how to smoke your own bacon, the vagaries of poly tunnels and overwhelmingly news about renovations, food, gardens and animals because they are the things we love. Terry to my surprise is happy to sit through updates from the blogs and the content is often at the centre of our conversations. Comments are passed back and forwards and that sense of community spreads to a feeling of family even though you may not even know a bloggers real name.
So on Saturday when I opened one of the blogs the words therein shattered me. The husband of the author of one of the blogs wrote with such dignity and overwhelming love of the loss of his beloved wife Sara, that morning, in his arms. What has stunned me is that he has kept up the blog allowing the psuedo community, the blogging family to come to terms with her loss, to grieve with him. I didn't know Sara was her name but I knew vicariously her recipes, her animals, her huspand, her family. I want to say in her honour that she shared so generously, her writings, her wisdom, her knowledge of the local wildlife so many things. Sara's husband Dave has written so touchingly and with so much love that one can only hope to aspire to such love.

Airbus appears to be aiming to fly the re-engined A330neo for the first time next week.
While the airframer has not confirmed a date for the first flight, the aircraft – a -900 variant – has been undergoing preparations after being transferred to the flight-test division.
The first A350-900 prototype flew some two weeks after it was handed over to the division and a source familiar with the situation indicates a window for the A330neo around 17-19 October.
First flights are typically weather-dependent but meteorological specialist Meteo France is forecasting good conditions for Toulouse over the next week.
TAP Portugal is set to be the first operator of the A330neo, which is powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.

Biomedical Engineering
MSc (HBS3)
Biomedical Engineering applies the principles of science and engineering to biological and medical problems. It has applications in a variety of fields from the design, development and operation of complex medical devices used in diagnosis and treatment, to the development of software products and theoretical models that enhance the understanding of complex issues in the biomedical area. The aim of this course is to allow students with a strong engineering background to develop their knowledge in this new field to an advanced level, in both experimental and computational areas, allowing them to participate in the advancement of knowledge and technology in this area.
Biomedical engineering is a new and rapidly developing field of engineering that relies on inter- and multidisciplinary approach to research and development. Specialists in this area face problems that differ significantly from the more traditional branches of engineering. However, at the same time biomedical engineering relies on methodologies and techniques developed in the more traditional engineering fields that are further developed and adapted to the particular specifications of the biomedical applications. The programme aims to prepare specialists with advanced skills in computational modelling, numerical techniques and in depth understanding in engineering approaches to biological problems. Students completing this programme will be able to develop novel computational and technology products for the biomedical industries.
On completion of the programme the postgraduates would have acquired extensive knowledge in the areas of computational solid and fluid mechanics with a focus on biomedical applications such as biomechanics, bio-fluids, tissue engineering. Students will achieve in depth understanding of the underlying theoretical issues and the technology developments in biomedical areas. The MSc programme provides the graduating students with in-depth knowledge for biomedical problems using advanced computational and theoretical apparatus and in-depth understanding of development cycle of novel biomedical technologies and able to contribute in advanced design developments.
Biomedical engineering represents a fast growing industry supported by many educational programmes worldwide. The faculty at Queen Mary is working closely with both European and US initiatives in this area.

Meet the Masterminds, Peter & Joel
La Bicicleta Verde was once nothing more than a dream that Peter and Joel liked to talk about over beer. How great would it be to showcase their beloved city in an ecological and unpolluted way and get some exercise at the same time? It dawned on them suddenly: bike tours of the city and surrounding area. After uniting teams, they ventured into Santiago by bike to come up with the best cycling routes. More than 11 years later, here they are, as owners of La Bicicleta Verde. Of course, there is much more to the story than that…
My friend and I took this tour of Parks and Politics with Gabriella on a late show up and it was excellent. Very informative and Gabba makes the tour a lot of fun. Highly recommend! Thanks again.
It was an awesome way to see so many highlights of the city and learnt a lot about its history. Karla, my guide, was very friendly and full of energy and information and also very funny!

Update: Baltimore Celebrates the Passage of Complete Streets!
Breaking news from Baltimore, MD! In October 2018, The Baltimore City Council passed CB 17-0102, a complete streets policy that will help make streets safer for people to use public transit, walk, and bike!
The legislation, sponsored by City Councilman Ryan Dorsey, was designed to encourage city planners to favor other forms of transit, including biking and walking, overs cars.
In a city where one in three households lacks access to a car, the legislation states that the Baltimore City Department of Transportation must "to the greatest extent possible, promote walking, biking, and public transit" and "ensure equity by actively pursuing the elimination of health, economic, and access disparities."
Although the bill is passed, there is more work to be done. The American Heart Association and coalition members are committed to working alongside city agencies to ensure communities are engaged and that the policy is equitably implemented across Baltimore.
Congratulations to advocates, including the Baltimore Complete Streets Coalition, and the City of Baltimore for making streets safer for physical activity!

DON'T MISS : Talking Africa New Podcast – Angola's dream deferred, plus the promise of Nigerian Fintech
By Nicholas Norbrook
Posted on Wednesday, 22 August 2018 09:23
It did not take very long for Lars Veul to decide. After all, an invitation from Jack Ma, China's most successful tech entrepreneur, who founded Alibaba, an e-commerce group with a $580bn market capitalisation, does not arrive every day. "It was inspirational," admits Veul, whose parcel delivery company, Pargo, was one of 24 African start-ups selected to send representatives to Alibaba's headquarters for training and mentoring in November 2017.
"There were lectures at their campus in Hangzhou by top Alibaba executives, including Ma himself, as well as site visits across the country," says Veul. "The role that e-commerce has played there is huge, with internet and mobile, apps and technology which made things accessible for Chinese people that previously weren't." And, by the sounds of it, the African start-uppers were kept busy. "It's a beautiful city, with a lake. But between the talks and the trips, we didn't really get a chance to look around", Veul says.
Getting Africans to grow their own successful businesses will make the difference between another half century of dependency and genuine industrial growth, argues United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) secretary-general, Mukhisa Kituyi. He says: "African entrepreneurs should not be asking successful businesses, 'How can I distribute your products?' Africans should be saying 'I have an idea I want to grow. How can you help me to grow it? How can you help me market it?'"
Ma, who advises UNCTAD on youth entrepreneurship, agrees on that point. On a visit to East Africa in July 2017, he launched his $10m African Young Entrepreneurs fund to help businesses get hands-on experience: "I want them to go to China, meet our people, see all the things we have been doing, all the great ideas China has," he said.
What the 24 business leaders saw certainly can be applied back home, says Veul. He explains, for example, how 91% of all payments done on the Alibaba site take place on mobile phones, not a million miles from how mobile-money platform M-Pesa is revolutionising commerce in Kenya. But there are more profound changes taking place in China. Alibaba and other e-commerce players have connected Chinese producers and businesses in far-flung villages deep in the rural areas to consumers in the cities.
A big business-to-consumer platform in China is Alibaba's Tmall.com, "and they have named some of these places Tmall villages", says Veul. He explains how government funding and e-commerce companies like Alibaba are co-funding centres where farmers and rural producers can come together to form small companies and learn how to market and package products for sale into, for example, the rapacious Beijing market.
Selling to China
Beyond Chinese examples, the African entrepreneurs also saw how Alibaba is using 'big data' to structure its businesses – an idea that Veul wants to apply to his business back in South Africa. "We are now more actively using data, asking our partners and our customers, and using that data to really find answers to the problems we face," Veul says.
But key to a real blossoming of the China-Africa commercial relationship will be the growth of African exporters selling into the Chinese market. "With Taobao and Tmall, it is absolutely possible for a Cape Town winery to set up an account and start selling their wines, or for a Kenyan tea farmer to start selling Kenyan tea on that platform," says Veul. "Global ecommerce is already happening, and I think that's going to take off in the future."
For that to happen, a step-change in marketing and packaging will have to take place in Africa – but here too, solutions are available. "There are a huge amount of Chinese companies who advise. We would call them digital marketers. So if you, say, want to sell some wine but don't speak Chinese, don't know the price range, appropriate quantities or the right shipping channels and packaging to penetrate the Chinese market, they can help you," says Veul.
None of this will happen without bandwidth, the lifeblood of the digital economy. "Not being connected to the internet today is worse than not having electricity 100 years ago," as Ma puts it. For Veul, there is at least slow progress: "By 2025, about 600 million people in Africa will have a smartphone, that's about half the continent."
Government has a role to play, both as a catalyst for businesses and an infrastructure provider. From China's large investments in fibre networks and partially state-run telecoms operators to small e-commerce cooperative centres, Beijing is not shy about using the state to power its digital transformation.
African countries, too, are not being left behind. Nigeria's investment in cheap, reliable internet was essential for Yaba, the tech hub in Lagos, to flourish (see TAR98, March 2018). In South Africa, "government is really very active in trying to make Cape Town a tech hub for Africa," says Veul. "Everybody is realising the power and the opportunity that tech can have, and, as in China, that can be much bigger than just a few companies but actually a complete ecosystem of small and medium-sized enterprises taking the next step."
As for his own company, the China visit could be the start of that next step. Pargo has asked Alibaba if it can help provide last-mile logistics solutions for Chinese importers. "We are in discussion to see if there is an opportunity to use our services to get parcels into South Africa and help streamline their processes," says Veul. That makes his two weeks in Hangzhou well spent.

The Sides
We woke up this morning to an e-mail from Garry & Lee at
exclaiming 'The side sheets are going up!' accompanied by a few photos.
We should be heading up in the next few days to see it all for oursselves but for now we'll carry on designing the internal layout, which seems much more suited to our limited but growing understanding of the whole thing. We hope to find a way of constructing removable wall, giving us the option of a second bedroom or a bigger living space, as can be seen in the latest floorplan.

Official says govt to decide on tax changes until mid-July
MOSCOW, May 14 (PRIME) -- The Russian government will prepare taxation system amendment proposals, and all the decisions will be passed during the spring session of the State Duma, parliament's lower chamber, or until mid-July, Interim Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Monday.
"We have no plans to raise the personal income tax in our calculations… I think the government will be formed and the government will prepare new proposals. The government will announce and discuss these proposals, including taxes, in the State Duma," Siluanov said.
The government is elaborating support measures for companies under the U.S. sanctions and is considering using Promsvyazbank for these purposes, Siluanov said.
The Russian authorities have already helped companies of Viktor Vekselberg, Siluanov said but declined to elaborate.
He also said that no final decision on his second job as the first deputy prime minister has been made so far.

Hide Forgot
Description of problem:
the files which sa-update creates have a security context (cron_var_lib_t) which
isn't available to spamassassin (spam_t)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install spamassassin
2. run sa-update from /etc/cron.daily (e.g
/usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log)
2.5 service spamassassin restart (part of script mentioned)
3. try to run spamc on a spam mail message (spamc < spam-mail)
4. setenforce 0
5. service spamassassin restart
6. spamc < spam-mail
Actual results:
spamc fails to correctly label mail as spam in step 3. manages to label
correctly in step 6.
Expected results:
sa-update correctly labels files for use via spamassassin; spamc give same
results whether selinux is enforcing or not.
Additional info:
a) there's a bug to get sa-update running by default (#219078)
b) restorecon thinks system_u:object_r:var_lib_t should be used in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/updates_spamassassin_org/ - that seems to improve
Created attachment 147052 [details]

I was looking over a series of leadership and management case studies when the call came in. "Smooth and literal or syrupy and dynamic, how do you want it," I said to the caller.
The reality is that at the heart of the matter is a well-composed combination of the two. A person's experience underlines no foregone conclusion. As drastic actions of toll rate removal take place between Malaysia and Singapore, cardiac services with fully equipped state-of-the-art labs are opening and the whole planet is experiencing another of its many cycles we take a look into today. Drawing from some examples of historical methods can be delicious fruit, but business today is often considered to be drastically different from yesterday at an embarrassing pace. That's why it's crucial for people to have access to opportunities and resources to gain advantages over the high rates of business failure.
Beginning a business is a guaranteed daunting task, even for those most experienced. Visit the business section in any bookstore or run a quick search online for 'steps for a startup' and you'll find anywhere from 10 to hundreds of different key steps to be taken. Knowing the correct steps today no longer seems to necessarily translate into the right steps tomorrow. Some may disagree, and I believe rightly so. In an ever faster changing marketplace, there are too many people sitting on great ideas or getting buried in the immensity of the task of getting up and running.
Malaysia's startup scene is alive, well and active. Open the door to an opportunity to meet with industry players and stakeholders. Enjoy spending time bouncing ideas off others in southern Malaysia. You definitely need to attend IP SMART 2018: CREATE.
When we think of Johor, whatever comes to mind first is changing. By supporting and building this new entrance into Malaysia, Iskandar Puteri, many opportunities are appearing. Today's global marketplace is ripe for the picking. This event, CREATE, is a solid launchpad into the Malaysian startup scene before moving on to larger events in greater Southeast Asia. If you are in Johor, seeking industry tip and tricks that can bring your idea or business to that next level, prepare yourself to attend this from 25 – 28 January.
High growth industries like agrotech and digital health see real potential through the benefits of our current levels of increased connectivity. The economic environment of Malaysia and the world is set for significant shifts. How can you actively participate in nurturing this?
To better understand what this event means for attendees and Johor, we speak with Feng Lim, a community builder and founder of At20s. With the drive to become one of the top nations in the world for economic development, social advancement and innovation, events like CREATE aim to help Johor realize these lofty aspirations.
About three years ago Feng Lim, formally trained as an accountant, saw the need and benefit of building the startup community in Johor. Through organizing a series of fireside chats and larger gatherings, he imagined the benefits a more 'umbrella organization' could bring to the scene. A number of smaller communities like Johor Web, Drink Entrepreneurs Johor and the Google business group SME's (small and medium enterprises) were growing side by side. He thought, what better way then to bring them together.
Feng seems most excited about what the new co-working community building space in Iskandar Puteri means to them. He states that precisely what they needed was their own managed spaces to focus on education of business fundamentals. Even Facebook knows "groups are great for getting things done and staying in touch with just the people you want."
The beginnings of this unifying group were simple enough. In 2014, they launched the Facebook group and a website landing page. At the same time, they were trying to attain the goals to gather enough people to justify renting a bus to attend the first MaGIC Academy Symposium, create the first Startup Weekend in Johor Bahru and schedule a networking meetup session in there as well.
Nothing beats joining forces. MaGIC (Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre) recognizes the need to create "exponential entrepreneurs in Malaysia because of the world's rapid pace of technological advances, a changing landscape and a small window in the competitive global environment to build long-term sustainable communities. Yes, that is a mouthful, as is accomplishing this goal. BigThink believes that 'exponential entrepreneurs' will be the new normal, but this just does not happen on its own because people want it to. It takes targeted action to build an 'innovation supercluster.' This is exactly what CREATE set's out to launch.
A really brief and broad overview of the economy may offer a little perspective. The Malaysian services industry, at about 54.4% share to GDP [prices at a constant matching 2010] has seen a steady growth. The Department of Statistics Malaysia shows that as of Q3 2017, the growth rate was 6.6%. This remains a large and prominent segment of the Malaysian marketplace trailed by the manufacturing sector. The key markets may be considered as Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Johor. Each region has different focuses, and this could change.
For now, Feng is based in Johor and seeking to cultivate his community there. Being so close to Singapore has its advantages and disadvantages. Because of Singapore's land limitation and higher costs of doing business, Johor has seen a number of back-office operations for Singaporean companies set up there. This helps create earning opportunities but isn't necessarily the greatest for promoting entrepreneurial startups.
There are not as many active startups in other Malaysian states as of Q3 2017. Some of our talents migrate to Singapore because of greater earnings potential. Johor has attempted to establish some industries such as the media industry that deals in motion pictures and game developers. They are attempting to leverage their location and the global demand for affordable production centers.
Any future surge is going to ride on the shoulders of entrepreneurs willing to take the risk and do the necessary research to expand their dream. Large events are a valuable tool for strengthening the future of the Malaysian and more specifically for Feng, the Johorean community. CREATE is only the beginning of a larger series of events set to stimulate growth and innovation. Because they are traditionally effective methods, networking sessions, a hackathon, intense pitching sessions and masterclasses are the pillars of this event.
CREATE has made an effort to offer these to the public for free by means of a refundable deposit in order to make this accessible to struggling entrepreneurs. Many recognize that finances play a heavy role in business. During initial phases of market research, hiring workers and securing intellectual property, a solid source of financial capital is crucial. Joining one of the pitching sessions will put you and your business idea to the test. The more you have prepared, of course, the more likely you are to convince investors the earnings potential your innovation delivers.
Do some quick research, gather your thoughts and see how you can benefit from this direct connection into the startup community that IP SMART 2018: CREATE offers. There is a crack in everything, that's how the innovators get in.
Written by Andrew Crum. IP SMART 2018: CREATE takes place from 25 – 28 January 2018 at Iskandar Space and the Academy of eSports, located in the AFINITI, Medini. For registration and further enquiries, head over to Startup Johor.
