Zipping Ahead(HKTDC Fashion - Fabrics & Accessories, Vol 02,2008)
|Derlin Zipper Co plans to focus on waterproof zippers in 2008, having sold a million yards of the popular product since March last year
The ability to innovate and adapt to the ever-changing whims of the garment industry is undoubtedly the key to success for accessories suppliers.
This is particularly important for small- and medium-sized zipper manufacturers who are trying to expand their market share in the face of ever-increasing competition.
What makes Derlin Zipper Co stand out is its willingness to try out new ideas such as the funky, colourful products that include "invisible" waterproof zippers - so-called because the teeth are hidden behind the waterproof tape and only the slider is visible - that have struck a strong chord with buyers over the past year.
The company, which started in 1994 as a manufacturer of zipper-making machinery before changing to making zippers a few years later, continues to produce every part of its zippers - including the tape, teeth, slider, puller and even the reinforcement tape.
Managing Director Tse Kin Kwok attributes this rare comprehensive production capacity to Derlin's ability to build its own machinery that can be adjusted quickly to produce new designs.
"Our focus in 2008 will be waterproof zippers," he reveals, adding that Derlin has sold "a million yards" of this popular product since March 2007.
Initially, Derlin had two machines that made waterproof zippers, but found it couldn't keep up with demand even when three more were added. "We added even more and now have 10 machines that can make 20,000 yards of waterproof zippers a day," Mr Tse notes. "If demand continues to grow, we may add 10 more machines this year."
The seamless waterproof nylon zippers are offered in a variety of colours, and do not require stitching as the zipper is glued onto the garment. "We tested it and the glue is stronger than stitching," Mr Tse insists.
Mainly used for apparel, particularly sportswear and knitwear, Derlin's zipper range includes metallic, coil and plastic models, as well as buckles, pullers, mobile phone straps and sliders in a large variety of shapes and sizes.
However, its focus over the past 2-3 years has been higher-end products that include waterproof zippers, which sell for HK$3.50 a yard compared to about HK$0.35 for traditional zippers.
The company's in-house design capabilities - which currently include two designers in Hong Kong and two based in its factory on the Chinese mainland - has enabled Derlin to produce new products every year.
"We're the only company in Hong Kong making invisible waterproof zippers and the only one in Hong Kong manufacturing reinforcement tape, and were also the first company to make rhinestone zippers a few years ago," claims Mr Tse.
He explains that competition at the low end is "very intense", and it therefore does not make sense to compete on price alone. "The way forward is to move to high-end production," he reasons. "We want to focus on quality, not quantity."
Derlin's products are sold under the D&D brand on the mainland, although Mr Tse says there is no difference in the type of products sold there compared to those sold in all other markets where the Derlin name is used.
He expects particularly strong demand for the company's waterproof zippers from Europe, especially Germany, this year. "We're hoping to expand our market share in Europe and raise recognition of our brand there this year."
Hikes in raw material and fuel costs over the past year have eaten into manufacturers' profit margins, which Mr Tse maintains is another reason why Derlin has to keep moving up the value chain.
However, conceiving new ideas is not as difficult as preventing competitors from copying them, and while he has considered taking out patents he is not so sure that is feasible in the short term. "It's a competitive market - even if we take out patents on our designs, this won't stop people from copying," Mr Tse declares.
Ultimately, he believes success is measured by how much money the business makes. "If we launch a new design and it is a hit, we'll enjoy it while it lasts," Mr Tse says. "Then we'll move on and try to come up with more new ideas."

The ride of your car or truck depends on a series of springs and coils, but the shocks and struts take most of the abuse of driving over potholes and rough roads in New Orleans. Did you know they also affect the tire wear? Yup. The weaker they get the harder it is to keep your car running straight which causes uneven tire wear and tread damage.
Not only do the shocks and struts give you that smooth ride and great cornering they save your tires which saves you money. Twin Tire and Auto Care are suspension specialists and we have most shocks and struts in stock.
We can keep you car feeling smooth.

Catalonia, Spain, has finally legalized cannabis after a long fight. The campaign in support of the issue collected more than 67,000 petition signatures. This substantial number forced the community's government to consider the matter and adopt new laws for regulating the cultivation, distribution, and consumption of weed for adult use. This decision will make marijuana clubs regulated and the weed itself decriminalized in the autonomous region.
The movement for cannabis legalization started in early 2014. However, it had been stalled until a Catalonian weed advocacy group known as La Rosa Verda collected more than 55,000 signatures in support of the protection of cannabis users and legally operating weed clubs. Due to their efforts, Catalonia will be the first in the region to implement regulatory standards of marijuana.
According to barrister Amber Marks, the new measure will protect consumer rights and constitutional rights to personal autonomy and development of personality. Moreover, the law sets specific rules for growing, packaging, storing, and testing cannabis products.
Any Catalonian of 18 and over can now legally buy pot from the clubs, but only a certain amount per month is allowed. However, marijuana tourism remains prohibited.
Weed enthusiasts in the autonomous region are currently collecting signatures for national reform. The needed amount for reaching the Parliament is 500,000 signatures, but the number seems achievable for the citizens of Catalonia.

2015 was a year filled with many challenges both at work and in my personal life. It was a year of new learning opportunities and growth. I enjoyed participating in the Bastow Emerging Leaders' Impact program, as it helped me develop my skills as an emerging leader as well as learning to have the difficult conversations. As well as studying, I was given the chance to put my learning into practice as the English Learning Leader at my school.
The leadership role was more demanding than I expected and at times I was stressed out and struggled to cope with all the responsibilities. This put more pressure on my personal life and I often forgot to look after myself. All my energy would be spent at work and I would come home so exhausted that all I was fit for was bed. I continued pushing myself even when I was tired or sick, yet it didn't seem to be enough. I ended up stressed and unable to cope. I pushed away concerns for my health, forgetting that I needed to look after myself.
Throughout the year, I became better at writing down my thoughts. Whether it was on my blog, or as part of my Writer's Journal, writing helped me clarify my thoughts. It also helped me verbalise the ideas swirling around in my head. Participating in the #YourEduStory challenge made me think more about what I did on a daily basis. Instead of just trying to adopt every new idea I read about, it helped me think about the "how" and "why" – it made me think about what motivates me to learn and how others learn. As I continue the #YourEduStory challenge in 2016, my aim is to not just read others' posts but to comment on their writing. After all that is what I'm trying to teach my students– whilst they can have a face to face conversation about their blog posts, I don't often have that opportunity with my colleagues at work. By commenting on other educators' blogs, I can start conversations about a particular topic. It will be a good way to challenge my own thinking about about education.
My #oneword for 2016 is "Create". I deliberated over several words like "resilience", and "discover". In discussing it with my friend, she pointed it out that it was a good action word to adopt for 2016. In pondering over it, I realised that she was right. I need to be more proactive in my approach in 2016. I can't wait for things to happen or for my life to change by itself- I need to work towards it. Only I can make my life better or change things that I do not like- no one else can do it for me. Whilst "believe" was a good word for me in 2015, I need a more action-inspired word for the new year.
I need to create a life for myself that is healthy- both physically and mentally. I need to focus on my own well-being as this will allow me to be a better teacher. I can't give my students my best, if I don't look after myself. As a teacher, I can't count the number of times where I've given up my lunch break to help my students, or said yes to a project that takes up more of my time. I enjoy working with my students and participating in school activities, often at the cost of my own well-being. I need to have a better work-personal life balance, otherwise it is a detriment to my health.
So here's to 2016 being a year where I create a lifestyle that allows me to continue seeking new opportunities for learning and growth, whilst establishing a healthy home and work balance. I encourage you to think about your #oneword that will motivate you in 2016.
This post is based is a response to:
- 2015 #YourEduStory topic: Most of us are somewhere near the end point of the school year. Reflect on the 2014-15 school year. What went well? What didn't go as well? What changes are you going to make for the 2015-16 school year?
- 2016 #YourEdustory topic: What is your "one word" that will inspire you in your classroom or school in 2016?

Responsible Gaming
Mission statement
The Stars Group strives to assist and protect players who are at risk of the potential negative effects of gambling through a number of means, including self-exclusion tools, guidance on responsible gaming, risk identification and player verification.
We believe in educating our players to empower them through knowledge. Click here for an interactive presentation on Responsible Gaming and Problem Gambling.
What we can do to help you
Age verification
Underage gambling is a criminal offense and anyone who facilitates someone under the age of 21 to gamble has committed a criminal offense and shall be prohibited from Internet gaming.
Any underage player who has provided dishonest or inaccurate information regarding their true age may have all winnings forfeited and could face criminal prosecution.
- Every person signing up for a new account must check a box that indicates that they are at least 21 years of age. This notifies everybody that we don't accept players under 21.
- When a player creates an account with us, we collect their name, address, Social Security Number (SSN) and birth date to confirm that the player is at least 21 years old.
- We do not target underage players with our marketing and advertising. It is neither good business nor consistent with our personal and corporate values to attract underage players.
If you believe that playing online might be a hindrance to your life rather than a form of entertainment, we want to help you. First, please review the following questions:
1. Did you ever lose time from work or school due to playing online?
2. Has playing online caused you to neglect your own welfare or that of your family?
3. Have you ever sold anything or borrowed money to finance your playing?
4. Have you often played until your last dollar was gone?
5. Have you ever played longer than you had planned?
6. Have you ever considered self-destruction or suicide as a result of your playing?
If you answered "Yes" to several of these questions, we encourage you to visit Gamblers Anonymous.
You can take the test in its entirety at one of the following websites:
Internet Gaming Self-Exclusion (IGSE)
You can self-exclude yourself from all New Jersey Internet Gaming Operators. In order to do so, you must complete the Internet Gaming Self-Exclusion Sign Up Procedure. This is a mandatory requirement by the Division of Gaming Enforcement. Players will have the option of choosing a 1-year or 5-year exclusion period. Upon clicking either of these options within the Self-Exclusion feature, you will be re-directed to the Internet Gaming Self-Exclusion Form which must be completed in full.
Upon full completion, you will be presented with the option to Print your form and Submit it. After clicking Submit, a final confirmation with your account password will complete the process.
Your submission will then be sent to the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement who will process it at the earliest convenience.
We encourage players who plan to self-exclude themselves to withdraw the remaining funds in their account via their preferred payment method before completing the process outlined above.
If you select a 1-year or 5-year exclusion, all open sports betting bets will be cancelled.
Important: By entering into a 1-year or 5-year exclusion, you are purposely choosing to exclude yourself from ALL New Jersey Internet Gaming Operators, not just us. You will not be permitted to access any Internet Gaming Provider or use their services until after your specific exclusion ends and you have requested re-instatement from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
You may also request to begin or end an exclusion by visiting any premises of the New Jersey Racing Commission, including racetracks, during business hours. Any Self-Exclusion is irreversible and cannot be ended early.
Self-exclusion and your Stars Account
Also, we provide you with the ability to exclude yourself from playing for various periods of time. To do this, go to the main lobby of the desktop software, select 'Tools' > 'Responsible Gaming' > 'Exclude me from playing'. On mobile, go to 'More' > 'Settings & Tools' > 'Responsible Gaming'. On the website, login then go to 'Account' > 'Responsible Gaming'.
Please note that all self-exclusions and time outs are irreversible for the duration of the specified time. In addition, all self-exclusion periods are inclusive of all games. Your self-exclusion will apply to your Stars Account, and to any product that requires your Stars ID to play, and covers both real money and play money activity.
What you can do to help yourself
Identify and reduce the risks
If you choose to play online, there are some general guidelines that can help make your playing experience safer, and reduce the risk of problems occurring:
- Play for entertainment, and not as a way of making money.
- Play with money that you can afford to lose. Never use money that you need for important things such as food, rent, bills, or tuition.
- Set deposit limits and ensure you never deposit more than you can afford to lose (see below for instructions).
- Never chase losses. If you lose money, don't play higher stakes to try and recoup your losses.
- Don't play when you are upset, tired, or depressed. It is difficult to make good decisions when you are feeling down.
- Balance online gaming with other activities. Find other forms of entertainment so playing online does not become too big a part of your life.
Setting limits
We are proud to offer several features that all New Jersey players can avail themselves of to help better manage their time, funds, and general poker experience. You can set the following limits to your account:
- Self-Imposed Deposit Limits
- Self-Imposed Playing Time Limits
- Self-Imposed Spend Limits
- Self-imposed Tournament and Table Buy-in Limits
You can set these limits by following these instructions, depending on how you are accessing our services:
- Website
Log in and go to 'Account' > 'Responsible Gaming'
- Desktop Client
Log in and select 'Tools' > 'Responsible Gaming'
- Mobile App
After logging in go to 'Menu' (Android) or 'More' (iOS), then 'Settings & Tools' > 'Responsible Gaming'
Set limits on your real money deposits and purchases
We believe that you should be allowed to manage your own budget for playing online poker. We allow you to restrict your own daily, weekly, and monthly real money deposit limits. Of course, those limits may be no higher than the ones we already have for your account. Also, please note that the daily deposit limit takes into consideration the transactions made during the last 24 hours, the weekly during the last 7 days and the monthly during the last 30 days.
Just go to the lobby in our desktop software, choose 'Tools', then 'Responsible Gaming', and then select 'Restrict Deposit Limit' or in our mobile app select 'More', 'Settings & Tools', 'Responsible Gaming' and 'Restrict Deposit Limit'.
If you set a daily or weekly deposit limit, you will not be permitted to increase or remove it during the next 7 days and the monthly limit for 30 days. When you request to increase or remove a deposit limit, it will remain pending for 24 hours. After that period of time, you will be asked to confirm the request on a pop-up that will be displayed when you login to your account. All requests to decrease a deposit limit will be approved immediately.
Be aware of common myths about compulsive gambling
We believe players should play for fun and entertainment. But some players who engage in recreational gambling do not believe they could become addicted, and sometimes hold onto false beliefs or myths about problem gambling that can lead to denial and other problems. Some of the more common myths are listed below. Click 'More' to read on.

(NAPSI)—In the dark reality of living without electricity, it's best
to set an emergency preparedness plan ahead of time. Understanding backup
power supply options will be critical to surviving a blackout.
In March, a wintry windstorm in Michigan
caused a power outage so large that utility crews from other states traveled
to lend a hand. This record weather event cut power to over 1 million
residents and left hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity for
almost a week. Widespread outages like this might have caught some homeowners
off guard, but preparedness measures now need to include a backup power plan.
Is backup power supply an option?
Two basic options exist for homeowners: portable generators and home
standby generator systems. Both solutions can keep the house lights on,
appliances working and, in the event of a weather-related power outage or
other emergency, will keep the home the safest place to ride out the storm. Understanding
the differences and capabilities between these two options makes selecting
the best backup power plan much easier.
can visit Generac.com and schedule an in-home
consultation to learn about proper power sizing and discuss backup power
needs as a part of a preparedness plan.
Portable generators: An instant but
temporary backup power supply
Portable gasoline generators are available at just about any home
improvement retailer and work well as a quick solution to roll out during an
outage. Generally, a portable unit is low maintenance, but during National
Preparedness Month, Generac Power Systems reminds users that they should
check and run their generator and even refresh the tank of gasoline to be
ready for the season. Additionally, Generac advises on portable generator
safety: These units need to be taken outside and kept 25 feet away from an
opening to the home to keep carbon monoxide fumes outside.
Home standby generators: The
permanent backup power supply
When outages happen, the home standby generator is the automatic solution.
A unit like the Generac Guardian plumbs into the home's existing natural gas
or propane line, turning on automatically when utility power fails.
These generators are installed just outside the house like an
air-conditioning unit. They can be set to exercise weekly and can even send
the homeowner updates using a service like Mobile Link™ about its successful
exercise, change in status or low battery, as well as maintenance reminders
or fault alerts. Unlike portable generators, home standby generators need to
be professionally installed and sized to fit the home, so homeowners should
allow for an installation process.

Automatic time tracking Mac-friendly software can present a number of important advantages, including the ability to save time in your invoicing. As everyone involved in business is well aware, time translates to money. The more time that you spend tracking billable time and compiling invoices, the more money that you ultimately lose over time. This is time that could be spent on other areas of your business, including time that could be dedicated to paying clients.
In the past, the solutions to this problem were largely ineffective. While software solutions for tracking time have been introduced to the market, there is still much left to be desired with these solutions. This has proven to be particularly true when it comes to time tracking software for Mac.
A new introduction to the market is making it possible to save time while enjoying the benefits of automatic time tracking — without the need to give up your preferred Mac. With Chrometa, you are able to automatically track all of the time that you spend on your Mac. What makes this solution even more appealing is that Chrometa runs quietly in the background. There is no need for you to do anything at all. This means that you do not need to input data, nor do you need to worry about dealing with stopwatches to ensure that you are billing clients accurately.
Everything is automatically categorized for you. When you are ready to create invoices to send to clients, everything is ready to go. Chrometa also works in conjunction with any other office software you may have, such as QuickBooks.
One of the questions that many people often have about using automatic time tracking is how to discern the difference between billable time and unbillable time. Chrometa also offers a new report feature that makes it easy for you to identify time that is not billed. With this feature, you do not have to spend time going through your tracked time to weed out entries for which you do not need to bill. Chrometa shows you the days for which there is uncategorized time and gives you the ability to go directly to those days.
Estimates indicate that professionals, such as attorneys, often fail to bill for as much as 25 percent of their billable hours. This is typically due to simply being too busy to record the time or poor recording habits. Depending on the amount of your gross billings, failure to bill for 25 percent could amount to significant amounts of money. The process of tracking time for billable hours is a necessary one for many industries. Yet, this does not mean that you need to spend valuable time tracking your time. With the right automatic time tracking Mac-compatible software, you can save time and ensure that you are being paid everything that is due to you.

Genital Herpes: Stigma Still Strong
Genital Herpes: Stigma Still Strong
Posted on 20. Jun, 2008 by Doctor in Herpes Treatment
Genital herpes is common but it still carries a big social stigma, an online poll shows.
The poll included 503 U.S. adults with genital herpes and about 1,400 other adults who said they didn't have genital herpes.
Participants answered questions about their relationships and views of genital herpes.
They ranked genital herpes second for social stigma, out of all sexually transmitted diseases (HIV took the top spot for STD stigma).
The poll also included a list of other potentially taboo topics, including HIV, gonorrhea, mental illness, obesity, substance abuse, and cancer.
Most participants — 64% of those without genital herpes and 56% of those with genital herpes — said they didn't think any of those topics were taboo. However, genital herpes was the top-ranked "taboo" topic.
Among genital herpes patients, 39% said they were troubled by societal stigma about genital herpes. Far more genital herpes patients — 75% — were troubled by bothersome symptoms of genital herpes outbreaks.
Most people without genital herpes said they would avoid having a relationship with someone who has genital herpes and break up with a partner who had genital herpes.
Among people with genital herpes, 36% said they tell their partners about their genital herpes "well in advance of having sexual intercourse for the first time," and 68% said they were concerned about transmitting genital herpes to their sexual partners.
But that doesn't mean it's easy for patients to talk to their partners about their genital herpes.
For instance, of the 325 genital herpes patients who reported having genital herpes outbreaks, 38% said they'd made up an excuse to avoid having sex during a genital herpes outbreak, instead of telling their partner about their outbreak.
Harris Interactive conducted the poll between Dec. 14, 2006, and Jan. 12, 2007. The poll was commissioned by the drug company Novartis.
SOURCE: Harris Interactive: "State of Genital Herpes 2007: Personal Story and Societal Stigma."
Best medications for genital herpes treatment are Valtrex and Famvir.

A period ends a complete sentence that provides a statement or instruction, which is a straightforward function. However, things get a little more complicated when authors have to decide where to place periods after quotations, what spacing to use after a period, and when not to use a period.
Inside or outside punctuation with quotations
Confusion regarding whether a period should appear inside or outside closing quotation marks is usually caused by conflicting styles between American and British authors. The American style presents the period inside the quotation marks, whereas the British style places the period outside the quotation marks (Chelsea, 2011, para. 3). According to the APA Style rules:
- Use internal punctuation: The closing period should appear inside in the quotation marks (para. 3); e.g., most participants chose "yes."
- If the quoted text is a direct quotation of 39 words or fewer and therefore has a citation after the closing quotation marks, the period appears after the citation (American Psychological Association, 2010, p. 171).
- If the quotation is 40 words or longer and will be formatted as a block quotation, place the period at the end of the quotation and before the citation (p. 171).
For more information on the APA Style rules regarding inside or outside punctuation, please refer to "Punctuating Around Quotation Marks" from the APA Style Blog.
Spacing after a period
In the body of your work, you can use either one or two spaces after a period, but please do so consistently; see Spaces after a period? for more information. To check for consistent spacing, take advantage of Microsoft Word's grammar and style check, which will look for one or two spaces between sentences:
For instructions on turning on Word's grammar and style check, please see Help From MS Word: Grammar and Style Check.
Within references, a period should always be followed by one space (American Psychological Association, 2010, p. 87).
When not to use a period
According to the APA Style rules, periods should not be used in the following instances:
- After a URL "to prevent the impression that the period is part of the URL. This is not a style issue but a retrieval issue" (American Psychological Association, 2010, p. 192). This logic would also apply to not providing a period after a DOI.
- After "metric or nonmetric measurement abbreviations" (p. 88) (e.g., cm, min). Use a period when abbreviating inches (in.) because without the period, "in" could be misunderstood (p. 88).
- After state abbreviations, capitalized abbreviations, or acronyms (p. 88). Following this logic, abbreviations for Canadian provinces should not be followed by a period.

Now I may let my "crunchy mama" side show for just a second here…
I work in little baby boutique and it comes with some great perks. I get to see adorable babies all day long. Sometimes I get to squeeze their cute little selves but.. And here's the kicker… I get to give them back! I mean, I totally get the baby fevers going on sure but I also get to hear some pretty cool labor and delivery stories too.
Stories about home births and unmedicated deliveries. I was even shown a wicked C-Section scar. I've always been fascinated by home births. In your own home, laboring. You have your own space and no one is making you stay in that bed. It sounds awesome. On the other hand… I don't want the first words that my children ever hear to be a string of profanities. We know that would happen. Give me the drugs, lay me on the table.
I breastfed Frank for 13 months, made his baby food, refused to put cereal in a bottle. Well Frank wasn't having no stinkin' bottle anyway but you get what I'm saying. I even baby carried most of the time. Five and a half years later and it is still pretty attached parenting. Seriously though… get out of my bed kid! My crunchy goes quite stale at "give me the epidural".
My labor and delivery was too easy. Umm, why don't I get to be awesome? I had my epidural and everyone just assumed I was a witch because I still had full control over my legs but could not feel a thing! I felt like it was too easy. Well, until Frank refused to come out and they just yanked him with the forceps.
You moms are straight up rockstars! My mom is one of you. I was not born at home but that woman only spent 3 hours in the hospital before I arrived. No meds at all, just straight up screaming at my aunt, "I DONT NEED ANY DAMN DRUGS!" Like. A. Total. Bad. Ass. Still to this day, that woman is stronger than I could ever hope to be. Still a total badass.
You are all bad ass. All of you. The at homes, the hospital, the csection, the natural, the unmedicated. Every last one of you. Amazing. Your body held a freakin' human being! You are amazing.
I still believe my mother deserves a standing ovation and a medal! Thank you, Momma.
Do you have an awesome story about bringing your babies earth side? Share it with me in the comments or email me. I may share a few!

"I'm proud of our girls and the way that they battled back to make some big plays at the end of the game to win it," said Vikes head coach Dani Sinclair.
Fifth-year forward Jenna Bugiardini led all scorers with 21 points in the game. Bugiardini was also a force to be reckoned with on the glass, she pulled down 11 rebounds to record a double-double. Amira Giannattasio and Nicole Karstein scored 16 and 11 points respectively.
The Vikes came out of the gates hot in the first half. They shot 66 per cent in the second quarter while playing some high pressure defence en route to a 12 point lead at the break.
"When we move the ball like that and play with that kind of intensity and aggressiveness we can be tough to play against. We need to be able to put that together for 40 minutes," said Sinclair.
The script was flipped for the third quarter. The Pandas defence stepped up and it was their turn for shots to start falling. Alberta outscored the Vikes 20-9 in the quarter to battle their way back into the game.
"I thought we were a bit passive to start the second half and they are a very good team," said Sinclair.
"It took them a bit to get their legs underneath them but they play with a lot of confidence and we let them take the momentum back to start the second half."
It was a close contest throughout the fourth quarter. The Pandas took their first lead of the game with just one minute left to go, but a clutch bucket from fifth-year Vike Jenna Krug allowed UVic to escape with the win.
UVic is back in action tomorrow, October 28, for a game against the reigning national champion Saskatchewan Huskies.
Tip off between the Vikes and Huskies is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at the CARSA Performance Gym.
UVIC: J. Bugiardini (21), A. Giannattasio (16), N. Karstein (11)
AB: E. Kary (15), E. Hendershot (12), S. Kumar (10)

I had some chance between the days to do some fitness training between but then the Sylvester came and it was a new year with new hopes and goals to reach. I welcomed 2016, hopefully it could be a year of lots of fun.
Happy New Year and Happy New Training
With the new year and all the good food and candy that we eat it is time to start training for real. With the new year it creates a body full of energy and power to change the outcome of 2016. Now it is time to put up new goals to accomplish. For 2016 I wish you all the best for your training.
Running with an ironman
Before Christmas I ran with an ironman. It was dark outside but many people parked there cars and drive after work to run. It is a nice and fresh idea to come outside and work
Running on training travel
2015 was a great year. I had the chance to go to Teneriffa and I took all the chance I had to do as much training as I could. This marvelous beaches and mountains inspired me to work my body as in such a good shape as I could. But after three weeks I had to return back home again, knewing that the greatest challenge was to come.
To combine work and training
It is always a matter of time for me. I love training but during so many years of my life from the school time and after that I had not so much time. In fact one of my most important insight of 2015 is how I acted to increase my training hours.

MODERATOR: Let's go to what we call our one-one punch with Cristiano da Matta of Newman/Haas Racing. Cristiano is the old-timer among the Toyota group, this being his fourth season with Toyota. He enters the 2002 season with two streaks intact: first he's won the last two races of the 2001 CART FedEx Championship Series at Australia and in Fontana. So he'll be looking for his third consecutive CART win here. Also he's looking for his second straight win in Mexico, having won the series opener last year. Not to put too much pressure on him, but I've been told by the Newman/Haas folks they were also looking to open their 20th season of CART racing with their ninth season-opening win. They've won almost pretty much every other year since they've entered CART. With that, Cristiano da Matta, let's ask Cristiano, think thoughts coming into the season?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: First of everything, thanks for the pleasure. I'm pretty glad to be with my second year with Newman/Haas. Of course, it's a very competitive team. We proved that last year. We had some ups and downs. Off-season for us so far has been really good. I'm very excited to start this season because I have better knowledge of the team. The team knows better the way I like to work. We are just more of a team than we were at the beginning of last year. I think we've got a lot of things going on now that we didn't have last year. Everything indicates we're going to have a better season.
MODERATOR: Let's go to questions.
Q. Last year obviously you went through a slump through the middle part of the year, especially July. I'm interested in something you said, which was something to the effect of you guys were over-engineering. Maybe that's another way of saying trying too hard. What did you mean by saying that you guys were over-engineering things and over-did things, and that's what caused you problems in July?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Well, many races, especially in May, in June, we have the speed. We were fastest in many of the sessions, the races from the beginning of the championship to June. For one reason or the other, we weren't getting the results. We started to try to make the car even faster, to try to get the result there. I end up trying harder and harder, and the team also trying harder and harder. We started to get out of our basic setup we have that we was good. We start to think, "Okay, this is good, but we can make it even better. Let's do this. Let's do that." We started to get away from our formula, you know, our basic setup. The more we went away from this setup, the slower we went. We really were in trouble like in July, in all the races in July, and good part of August, too. Only by Vancouver I believe, which was beginning of September, end of August, we start to get back in pace. It was funny because we didn't have a good result in Vancouver, but we had a lot of lessons learned there. We knew the car was fast. I didn't qualify well because I had a problem qualifying. I didn't finish the race well. I also had the problem during the race. But the car was good. So we all sat down and we said, "Okay, we were back to our normal stuff in this race. We were fast here. We were fast here. We could have done it. It just didn't happen because this, this and this, that it's not inside of the area we can control. So let's keep this line." That's what we did. We just went back to more likely what we were using at the beginning of the year, and the speed was back there. So it was very interesting how can you make a mistake by trying to do too much.
Q. You have to feel good that all of you recognized that, though, and were able to go back to basics, if you will?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Yeah, it's a positive thing. I think we didn't recognize it earlier because it was my first year with the team. You know, it's not -- I knew everybody pretty well by that time. It's not like I had a year like be with all those guys every single day. It makes a little difference. Like just until everything is really gelled, it's a little difficult. But I think there's a big progress on this area. I think the experience from last year, of course, made us a better team, made us work together better. I think that's what we needed. We learned the hard way, but we've learned.
Q. A lot of the experts are now looking at you as the pre-season favorite to win this championship based on the way you finished last year. You look at the fact that Marlboro Team Penske is now in the other league. What are your thoughts about where you stand at this point about making a legitimate run at the championship? What do you think has to come together for you?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Well, I think it's a championship race championship, a long championship. A lot of things have to go right. You see sometimes a guy going very fast in some parts of the championship, some other guys going very fast in other parts of the championship. We have a good example, as Castroneves last year. He started the year so well. He was so fast in so many races. He only finished the championship one point ahead of me. That's so much consistency, and not only speed is important. For me, I suffered a lot with consistency last year. There were races that I was very fast, and there were other races that we were like out to lunch basically. We had to admit that. We worked a lot on that on the off-season. So I hope we going to have a lot more consistent car this year than last year. That's the area we've been working harder. I'm very anxious to see the results we can get. So far on testing has been good. We've been consistently fast everywhere we've been, which wasn't true for us last year in the off-season. And I hope it keeps this way. But the variety of tracks we go to is very big. Like we go not only from superspeedways to speedways to street courses and road courses, but there's a big difference in between all the street courses, too. For example, Long Beach comparing to Vancouver, two street courses, but they're totally different. So you have to be very, very versatile to make your car work in every kind of racetrack we go to. So it's a difficult task. It's not easy to see like the way Gil won the last two championships was all about consistency. I won more races than him last year, and he won the championship. He finished like almost 60 points ahead of me. So there's a lot of room for improvement there for me and I'm going to concentrate on that.
Q. You're now definitely a veteran of this series. What is it that you know about making that run that you didn't know two years ago? Is it just, like you said, you want consistency, but what is it that you know about achieving that now?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Well, I think a lot of it, it comes with the experience you say about. Knowledge about setup, knowledge about what every racetrack you go to, what the car needs more in those kind of circumstances. Helping the team the most, and the team helping you most on understand those things. I think that's the biggest thing that experience brings to you. Of course, the race strategy and the consistency, I think it's a little bit easier to recognize than that. But the factors that makes you consistent driver, that is what I'm talking about. Sometimes it's just a small area on the car setup that you didn't pay attention very well. Sometimes the team brings your attention for that and makes a big difference. It's like the team helping you or making you a better driver, giving you more knowledge. Of course, the other way around, too.
Q. Do you like the idea of being a favorite? Do you enjoy that?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Yeah, I like it. It's recognition for the work you've been doing. So it's good to know that people recognize you, see that myself and Newman/Haas, we're doing a good job, we've been fast on the spring training, we've been fast on every kind of track we've been to so far. It makes you feel good. There's no reason why not. Adds a little bit of pressure, but the pressure is on us anyway just from what I feel I can do this year and from what the team feels we can do this year. So we put enough pressure in ourselves, so it's not a little bit more pressure that is going to crack us.
Q. Can you talk about the impact that Chris Pook has made and what the feelings amongst the drivers is? Do you feel excited about the direction that the series is going? What changes do you like the best?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: For me the biggest difference, like in the paddock, I feel everybody a little bit -- quite a bit more optimistic, I would say, about the future of CART and the changes we've made. The biggest change I enjoy, I like, was the fact that we don't have the fuel economy races anymore. Those something that every driver used to complain, every team used to complain, even the engine manufacturers used to complain. It's like they would say, "We're spending all this money, all these engineers working here, to make all this power, then it comes race time, sometimes we have to lean the engine to get better fuel economy to get a better strategy." All these guys spend so many hours just projects, many hours on the dyno testing the engines. All that was gone just by flipping a little switch on the steering wheel that would make your car four percent lean, six percent lean, ten percent lean, whatever. Of course, that costs you power, too. So I think the fact that you can be flat out all the way, you going to be able to run as fast as you can, using as much fuel as you want, that's going to be a great thing. I see about, going back to Chris Pook, one thing I felt a lot, but I felt a lot, it's more on the media. Of course, in the public, there's a big recognition, but even more in the media. I remember last year, it would make me sad reading some places like that CART, this is happening with CART, CART is going down, this and that. Now I reading many places, even the people that used to be the most like pessimist about CART, I read good things. You know, everybody seems to like the way Chris is directing things, the changes he's made so far. It's very exciting for me and for I'm sure like even to speak on behalf of the other drivers, very exciting for everybody to see that the credibility of our series has grown so, so many higher than where we stop last season, for example.
Q. When you end a season like you did last year, do you really not want the season to end? You get two straight wins, then, boom, you have to wait till March in order to go racing again.
CRISTIANO da MATTA: It seems like a long time. It's so tough to build up this momentum when really this is boost on everybody of will to succeed, to do well in the season, to get the good atmosphere inside everybody, inside of you. Then suddenly we have this long break, and you have to find a way to kind of fool yourself and make it like this is just the continuation of last year, not last year's season, but the last two races. Try to make you still feeling so good about everything, even being so far away from the race car, sometimes a month, month and a half not driving the car. But it's a little bit of a mind game. But I think I've been able to handle it pretty well.
Q. Could you sense a different emotion with the team from the early practice sessions when you guys first got back together to actually get on the racetrack?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: One thing I felt on the team, everybody like me didn't seem to forget through the holiday and through the time off we've had about our last couple of races. Everybody's so fired up about the season. Everybody's so like excited about the idea that we really can win this championship, we are one of the contenders. Everybody's so fired up about that. It was like coming out of Fontana last year. It felt almost like we had won that race just a few days before.
Q. You were at the Miami press conference today. It sounded like there was an awful lot of cheering going on in the background. Was the mood very upbeat about the race down there?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Yeah, everybody was quite excited. First reason why, I think it used to be such a great event here on downtown Miami that everybody I think have only good memories on their minds about the race. That's, of course, very good. To have everything back, everybody was quite excited about it and everybody was really looking forward. There's a lot of people really trying to make it happen the best way possible. So I think it's going to be a great event. For me, even better, because I don't have a home race anymore. Don't have a race in Brazil anymore. It's going to be nice to race back where I live.
Q. Do you think a lot of Brazilians will fly up for the race?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: I'm sure. I'm sure that's going to happen. One thing that everybody would ask me when I'm back to Brazil, everybody tells me, because in Homestead, when the race was in Homestead, they used to come to watch the race here, not only the Brazilians that live here, but also a lot of people from Brazil. Last year, for example, we didn't have a race in Brazil, and we didn't have a race close to Brazil. The closest race we had to Brazil was Houston, which is like a ten-hour flight. It's not as easy to get to because there's only one direct flight per day. To Miami, you have over six or seven flights daily and nightly. Maybe even more than that. It's only from Sao Paolo, Rio, it's eight, seven and a half hours. It's not too bad. A lot of people I'm sure is going to be coming to watch because it's the better opportunity they have to watch a sport they love over there, which is Champ car.
Q. What's the chances we'll see you at Indy this year?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: So far very, very small. I still try to keep myself -- I still try to believe that it's going to happen. But to be honest with you, I would say that my chances to be there this year are less than 20%.
Q. You talk about getting consistency. You know, early in your career, now you're this old veteran, earlier in your career, you made a name by winning races. How hard is it to change the mindset? I'm not saying you're not looking to win races, but all during the year, as you said, you have to finish. Is that a big change for you?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: That's I think the hardest thing for a driver because to achieve that, you cannot follow your instinct, you just have to sometimes settle for fourth place finish. That's not what you're really want to do. So I think it's difficult. I think every driver has to work on that a lot. I felt like last year I had a big, big improvement on this area, on myself. I think I just wasn't more consistent last year because of some other factors. But not because I crashed and it was my fault. I made very, very few mistakes last year. I think with the more experience, one more year with the team, with Newman/Haas, one more year with the engineers, crew, working together with all the same guys, I think is going to do it for us. I think it's just going to -- all this consistency that we were missing I think is just going to suddenly be there.
Q. Do you and Tony still have a bet on bicycles this year?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: No, not anymore. I have to pay him too many. Last year he didn't pay me even once. I try to put a bet with him that to start with he has to give me three, then we start talking (laughter).
MODERATOR: Cristiano actually led the championship points through the first three races until we went to first Japan and then Milwaukee, when he was actually taken out on the first lap at each race in a crash that he was basically caught up in, not really involved in the crash itself, just got collected. I just wanted to add that.
Q. Did the events of last year, do you think a lot of these changes are just a result of the way things went last year? In other words, do you think maybe things happen for a reason, happened last year, to necessitate change this year in the drivers' minds?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Well, I think -- I believe that in life everything happens for a reason. In Brazil, there's a saying that says that God always (writes/rights) everything in the right way, but sometimes the line to get there is not straight, it's a little bit -- there's a couple of turns. I think that's the way everything in life is. Maybe everything that happened with CART last year was just something that made us more switched on, and not only my racing career, you have to learn the lessons - right? - Everything that happens that is not exactly the way you wanted, and try to do the changes needed to prevent those things to happen again and to make everything better on the future. I think that's what happened.
Q. Do you think things have now kind of moved into the 21st century in a sense, maybe they'd become a little too sedentary, and now the circuit in general from the leadership down to the track, everything is kind of where it's supposed to be, maybe where you all wanted it to be?
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Well, I think it's very difficult to change things from one year to the other. But I think definitely we are going on the right way. I think the very first positive thing we have right now is the schedule we have because it's more international, there are more races in Canada, more in Mexico than last year. There's new venues coming into the circuit this year. The kind of races that we had the best success last year, which are the street courses and the road courses. It seems to me like that's where it's different. Like outside the US, I see people enjoying to watch the CART races everywhere. But inside the US especially, it looks like we have a better following when we are running road courses and street courses. We adding lots of those type of tracks this year. I think it's just -- we're just doing what is going to be good for the series and what all the crowd likes -- seems to be where the crowd likes to watch us. I think the schedule is very positive. I think all the other issues that were change so far, many, many, many small issues, but they were all something that was bothering either in the competition side the teams or the drivers, like the qualifying procedure wasn't a hundred percent fair, with two groups, now everybody is going to be able to qualify at the same time. The fuel economy races, so on. I think it's all great changes to make more better racing. I think everybody's going to have to be driving harder and harder. I think that's what the crowd likes to see, hard racing and everybody pushing it to the very edge. I think all the changes were made thinking about that. I think that's the way that the sport needs to go.
MODERATOR: Any last questions for Cristiano? We'll wrap this up. I want to thank you for joining us today as well as all of our members in the media. See you in Mexico on Friday.
CRISTIANO da MATTA: Okay, thank you all. See you there.

TIGA announce plans following the triggering of Article 50
For those who don't know, TIGA is the trade association who represent the UK games industry. They're the ones who try to ensure that we have a healthy market here in the UK, and they do that by trying to strengthen the games development and digital publishing sectors.
Following Theresa May triggering Article 50 yesterday, TIGA outlined what they plan to do to ensure that the UK industry it campaigns for and champions, will have the very best opportunities to continue to grow and succeed. There were five main things that they say they will do to try and achieve their goal:
- Campaign for the retention and improvement of both Video Games Tax Relief and the Research and Development Tax Credits to ensure that the UK has one of the most favourable tax regimes for the video games industry in the world.
- Campaign for the introduction of a Video Games Investment Fund to provide £ for £ match funding for original IP game projects to improve games businesses' ability to access finance.
- Campaign to enable UK games companies to recruit highly skilled workers (Tier 1 and Tier 2 workers) from the EU and the wider world.
- Campaign for the establishment of a British Games Institute to drive the video games sector forward and to promote the cultural, creative and economic impact of video games in the UK.
- Accredit more video games degree courses to bring industry and higher education together and to ensure that more UK universities are providing games businesses with the skilled graduates that they need.
On the situation, Jason Kingsley OBE, TIGA Chairman and CEO and Creative Director of Rebellion, had this to say:
"Today is a historic day. Opportunities and risks lie ahead. It is now more important than ever to realise TIGA's vision to make the UK the best place in the world for games development, games education and games service providers. If you share this vision and want to make it a reality, then contact Dr Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO, to discuss how you can get involved in our campaign (firstname.lastname@example.com )."

Thanks for the LAPTOP/PC article, I read it from top to bottom, and I had a little chuckle to myself when you mentioned PC's with little LED's inside of the casing, I have that type of casing, and high-end GPU Card, GTX 980 GTX TI, my son built one for himself many moons ago, and I was allowed to play on it when he was either at work, not bothered, or out with his girlfriend. When he got married, he gave it to me, but with WINDOWS changing so much, a lot of the games would not run anymore, so he said if I paid for the parts, he would build it for me, so that is what I ended up doing, with some help from him selecting the parts I would need, because the very first thing I bought, was the above mentioned GPU Card, so he had to build around that, instead of letting him select ALL the parts, he was the one that ordered the Tower that everything would be going into, that's why there are little LED's inside of it, not because I asked, but I read your article, and had to chuckle when I read about them. Thank's for the article, I found it very interesting. I used to play COUNTERSTRIKE on STEAM on a Laptop, and I was accidently shooting some of my team without even knowing about it, so it will ALWAYS be, PC for me, thank you very much, it is safer for your team, lol.
Yours Sincerely, Brian Phillips.

The purpose of this article is to give a set of recommendations to producers of assessed thermodynamic data, who may be involved in either the critical evaluation of limited chemical systems or the creation and dissemination of larger thermodynamic databases. Also, it is hoped that reviewers and editors of scientific publications in this field will find some of the information useful. Good practice in the assessment process is essential, particularly as datasets from many different sources may be combined together into a single database. With this in mind, we highlight some problems that can arise during the assessment process and we propose a quality assurance procedure. It is worth mentioning at this point, that the provision of reliable assessed thermodynamic data relies heavily on the availability of high quality experimental information. The different software packages for thermodynamics and diffusion are described here only briefly.

Due to Apple's refusal of cooperating with FBI agents to unlock a terrorist's iPhone 5c, employees at Maricopa County Attorney's Office will no longer be able to replace of upgrade their current work-supplied iPhone. The decision was brought up by the County Attorney Bill Montgomery, and was first made known to affected employees on February 21st. Montgomery's decision is based on his morals of not supporting a company on which he believes is choosing to cooperate with terrorists instead of law enforcement fighting for public safety.
"Apple's refusal to cooperate with a legitimate law enforcement investigation to unlock a phone used by terrorists puts Apple on the side of terrorists instead of on the side of public safety," Montgomery said. "Positioning their refusal to cooperate as having anything to do with privacy interests is a corporate PR stunt and ignores the 4th Amendment protections afforded by our Constitution."
Of the 564 smartphones deployed to employees, 366 are iPhones. The attorney further explained, "I don't expect my action to affect Apple's stock price. But I cannot in good conscience support doing business with an organization that chooses to thwart an active investigation into a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of fourteen fellow citizens. If Apple wants to be the official smartphone of terrorists and criminals, there will be a consequence."
