HGI Announces NTT as a key auditor for its Largest Ever Test Event
The world's leading organisation for defining requirements for the digital home will focus on leading-edge home gateway performance at its third annual test event
2 November 2011 – The Home Gateway Initiative (HGI) has today announced details of its largest test event to date, which will take place in the UK in November and December this year. This year's event will feature strong involvement from NTT, one of the world's largest broadband service providers, as well as several major Japanese home gateway manufacturers. Home gateway and technology vendors from around the world are also well represented.
The 2011 test event will again be hosted by leading global testing and compliance consultancy TRaC at its flagship test facility in Hull, UK. TRaC's team of telecoms engineers will test the home gateways in eight categories of tests, using its in-house automated systems and multiple test stations.
Duncan Bees, chief technology and business officer at HGI, commented: "Last year's event and the inaugural one in 2009 were both very successful with wide interest from vendors. We are expecting 2011 to be on an even larger scale, with the scope of our testing growing and more vendors participating."
"The collaboration with NTT in the test event is an exciting development for HGI. As well as NTT, there will be auditing teams from at least four major European broadband service providers. The HGI test event is the only one in the world where the service providers set the test requirements and form the auditing committee. This gives it great credibility and enables pre-qualification of vendors' equipment, at the same time giving an overall annual snapshot of leading-edge home gateway performance," Bees added.
Global telecommunications company NTT has a customer base of over 50 million in Japan alone. Its service capabilities include fixed lines and mobile communications as well as internet and systems integration services.
Nobuyuki Akazawa, Senior Manager at NTT East, said: "NTT will send three auditors to the 2011 HGI Test Event. This is very important for the industry as key requirements for software modularity and other gateway features will be tested to common requirements, helping manufacturers and operators to provide the best possible services for end-users."
In addition to software modularity, the test event will focus on performance and capabilities of the home gateway, including Quality of Service, data handling performance, IPv6 features, multi-session support, content sharing, and diagnostics. It will also test the gateway's compliance with energy efficiency requirements.
Participants choose which tests they will undertake and once the results have been validated by the HGI auditing team, the participants can use them as they wish. Following the event, HGI will publish an anonymised summary of results. Participating companies may also take advantage of the HGI logo program for their tested products.
HGI is the world's leading member-led organisation devoted to translating broadband service providers' service plans into published technology requirements for the home.

Botanical name: Peganum harmala
Other names: Harmel
Family: Zygophyllaceae
Distribution: Asia, India, sometimes southern Europe
Syrian rue appears in the ancient literature (Dioscorides) under the name peganon. This name may have been derived from that of Pegasus, the winged horse of ancient mythology that was begotten by Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the dying Medusa. The plant has also been interpreted as the legendary magical plant known as moly.
The seeds were imported from Persia to India by the Muslims at an early date. The plant was present in central Europe by the 15th century at the latest and was portrayed by the "fathers of botany". In the Near East and North Africa, Syrian rue has retained its great significance as ritual incense into the present day.
Syrian rue was a sacred plant in the ancient Orient. The Koran states, "Every root, every leaf of harmel, is watched over by an angel who waits for a person to come in search of healing". For this reason, it is said that dervishes in Buchara also esteem and ritually utilize harmel seeds.
Syrian rue seeds, in the form of small incense balls (sepetan), are still offered by burning great quantities during Nouruz (New Day), the ancient Iranian and now Islamisized spring and New Year's festival. The ascending smoke is distributed throughout the entire house to keep away all misfortune. In Persia (Iran, Iraq), the seeds are scattered over glowing coals at weddings to ward off evil spirits and the evil eye. It is said that the smoke is also capable of dispelling epidemic diseases.
In Baluchistan (Pakistan), the seeds are used to neutralize the enchantments of a jin and to banish all evil spirits in general. A person who has fallen under the spell of or has been possessed by a jin is urged to inhale as mush as possible of the smoke rising from the crackling seeds on the charcoals. It is said that such a treatment usually results in a rapid improvement. Harmel is also used as a fumigant in Turkey to counteract the effects of the evil eye.
In North Africa, Syrian rue has been regarded as a magical and medicinal panacea since ancient times. The seeds are used as incense, both alone and in combination with other plants. The seeds are scattered over charcoal to dispel evil spirits. The smoke is inhaled to treat headaches, the consequences of the evil eye, and venereal diseases. In Morocco, an incense of Syrian rue seeds, alum, and olibanum is burned during the wedding night to fan the flames of desire.
In the Himalayas and neighboring regions, shamans use the seeds as magical incense. The shamans of the Hunza, who live in what is now Pakistan, inhale the smoke to enter a clairvoyant trance. The shamans (bitaiyo) then enter into a close, lusty, sexual contact with the divining fairies, who give them important information and the ability to heal.
Our Syrian Rue is higher quality because it's freshly harvested by knowledgeable family farmers, as well as it's stored in the cold and dark. It contains a high content of essential oils.
Our Syrian Rue is ethically harvested by local family farmers.

text: Group Effectiveness in Grade Level Professional Learning Committees Ashley Mullins Clay City Elementary Teacher Leader Professional Development Activity Objectives: Assess the effectiveness of our grade level Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) at Clay City Elementary Create an action plan to improve PLC weak areas Increase the "effectiveness of your group" which is the PLC in each grade level Why these objectives? Assessing our group effectiveness and developing an action plan will help us to become as effective as possible and be more successful for our kids. We have to know what we need to work on before we can work on it. Increasing the effectiveness of our grade level PLCs will help to better serve our children. There is no way our school can function well if its pieces (our grade level PLCs) don't function well. Time is a precious resource so it is important that each grade level PLC (or group) functions as efficiently as possible. The less time we waste, the more we get done. The better that we are able to function together as a group, the more we will accomplish. Outcomes As a result of this Professional Development we should be able to…….. 1. Understand the overall (current) effectiveness of our grade level PLCs. 2. Increase the group effectiveness of our grade level PLCs. Planned Activities (that will help us accomplish our objectives) Review 12 Key Characteristics to a Fully Functioning Group pg 216 This ensures we fully understand the 12 key characteristics that we will rate ourselves on in the next activity. These are the facets that make an effective group. Exercise 11-1: Characteristics of an Effective Group pg. 217 This will allow us to evaluate the current group effectiveness in our grade level PLCs by giving us a scope of where we are currently and where we need to improve. Including Discussion Concerning Rating for Each of the 12 Characteristics: This will give us a clear notion of where we all stand in the current function of our group according to each characteristic. Do we agree with the rating? Why or Why Not? Do you agree with the overall diagnosis of the group's effectiveness? Create an Action Plan to Address Group Weaknesses By creating an action plan, we can create a clear process that will increase group effectiveness through planned activities. *All activities and Page Numbers are referring to the textbook entitled "The Art of Leadership by Kent Curtis and George Manning* Teacher Leadership in Relation to Teams Leaders Rely on Teams Our Principal, Mrs. Meadows, relies on grade level PLC teams to accomplish tasks in order to increase student learning across the school. Teacher Leaders recognize the efficiency that occurs when working with a team in contrast to completing tasks separately. Successful Leaders Understand Groups Groups can accomplish more than the individual and successful leaders understand this. To be successful, you have to understand how a group works best. What Makes an Effective Group? "Rather than a single thread, there is a tapestry of qualities that characterize all effective groups." Page 215, "The Art of Leadership" 12 Characteristics of an Effective Group 1.Clear Mission 2.Informal Atmosphere 3.Lots of Discussion 4.Active Listening 5.Trust and Openness 6.Disagreement is Okay 7.Criticism is Issue-Oriented…..Never Personal 12 Characteristics of an Effective Group, continued 8. Consensus is the Norm 9. Effective Leadership 10. Clarity of Assignments 11. Shared Values and Norms of Behavior 12. Commitment Exercise 11-1 Evaluating Your Group To be able to identify weaknesses in our groups and create an action plan to get better, we first have to know where we stand in relation to the 12 characteristics. Be Open……Be Honest. The only way we can get better and grow is to be true to the situation. The Next 20 Minutes: Using Exercise 11-1 collectively rate your group according to each characteristic including open discussion. Record scorings, tally points, and see what rating the rubric from Exercise 11-1 gives your group. Do you agree? Why or Why Not? Discuss Take 5 minutes to…… Discuss specific weaknesses that came to light as a result of Exercise 11-1 Where can we grow? Why do you think this weakness exists? What can we do to change the circumstances and view things in a positive light? Identify Your Greatest Two Weaknesses Rome Wasn't Built In A Day: Identify the two areas for growth that you think would most benefit the effectiveness of your group with the other members of your PLC. We can't fix everything at once. What are your groups two top priorities for improvement in regards to the 12 characteristics? Write these down. Create an Action Plan For each of the two identified weaknesses that your group will work on: Identify 3 steps that you can take, as a group, that will improve areas in which you attend to grow. Set up an accountability system How will you check yourselves to make sure you are taking the identified steps with fidelity? Can you hold each other accountable to the group for the better of the students? Other Things You Can Do According to "The Art of Leadership" you can be a Teacher Leader and take on one of several positive group member roles in order to increase group success. This is in addition to your action plan. They are as follows: Encourager: be positive and make others feel good Clarifier: keep everyone up to speed, summarize meetings Harmonizer: bring everyone together Idea Generator: be creative and suggest new ideas Ignition Key: keep your group motivated Standard Setter: be a model for others Detail Specialist: be the finisher, fine tune the finished product Assessing Our Objectives Revisit the action plan we created tonight in your grade level PLCs every two weeks to make sure that you are following it and completing the listed steps. In three months, at the monthly faculty meeting we will all reconvene to re-assess the "effectiveness of our groups" with the same activities that we completed today in order to see if we are completing our objective, which is making our grade level PLCs more effective. If our objectives have been met, we will hopefully see growth in our ratings. If our objectives have not been met, we will revisit the action plans in order find alternative ways to improve.

A SUSPECT has been charged over an alleged feud-shooting in a bar.
Police raided homes on Tyneside yesterday and arrested four men in connection with the close-range attack on Gary Keltie in the Turnpike pub, Chapel House, Newcastle, last month.
Christopher Patterson, 24, of Buxton Green, Newbiggin Hall estate, was due to appear before city magistrates today charged with attempted murder.
Three others were released on bail pending further inquiries.
During the operation, Newcastle police recovered two handguns.
A hooded gunman and an accomplice had fled after blasting Mr Keltie as he drank at the bar.
He suffered stomach wounds. Paramedics treated him and took him to Newcastle General Hospital.
The 25-year-old, of Mortimer Avenue, Newbiggin Hall, has now been released and is recovering.
Police carried out extensive inquiries after the attack at around 8.20pm on September 9.
One man being hunted was said to be around 6ft 2in and well-built. He wore jeans and a black hooded top. The other was around 5ft 10in, and of medium build. He had on a light hooded top and dark trousers.
It was thought initially one man had fired the shots, but ballistics inquiries are still under way to establish if more shots were discharged from a handgun.
Acting Det Insp Steve Ammari, said: "Four men were arrested yesterday and one has been charged with attempted murder.
"Premises were searched and three of the suspects have been given police bail as the investigation is ongoing.
"A 24-year-old man will appear before Newcastle magistrates today."
A 21-year-old local man was arrested earlier in the inquiry and was bailed until October 29.
There were 12 regulars and three staff in the bar when the gun attack happened.
Locals said at the time the victim may have been targeted in an ongoing feud by someone he knew.

Still in search of their first win, the Orlando Magic traveled to New Orleans to take on the injury-riddled Pelicans, who were also looking for their first win on the early season. The Magic held the lead almost the entire game, holding off a second half rally from the Pelicans for a 103-94 victory.
After a slow start on Sunday night in Chicago, the Magic came out firing, pushing the pace on the offense, and getting after the Pelicans on the defensive end. Orlando's quick pace and stifling defense allowed them to get into their offensive sets with ease, stringing the shorthanded Pelicans out. The Magic found success getting to the bucket, scoring 20 of their 28 points in the painted area, a ten point advantage early. Following a brief lead for the Pelicans, the Magic finished the quarter on a 19-7 run, to carry an 11 point lead into the second.
Into the second quarter, the Magic continued to find success pushing the pace against New Orleans' lackluster bench. While they continued to hold the Pelicans under 32 percent shooting, the Magic's defense saw some struggles, giving up some easy buckets, mainly off of a plethora of Magic turnovers. Coach Scott Skiles continued tinkering with his rotations, rolling with reserve Jason Smith for much of the quarter, as the team continues to look for balance between their starters and reserves.
As has been customary for the Magic, the team came out flat in the season half, allowing the Pelicans to claw their way right back into it. The Pelicans, who continually found themselves with open three-pointers in the first half, began hitting their shots from deep, knocking down six triples in the quarter. After a strong first half, the Magic's offense found themselves bogging down, focusing on playing one-on-one, rather than moving and finding the open man, something they did well in the opening 24 minutes. Despite the Pelicans hot shooting, the Magic were able to do just enough to hold onto their lead, holding a nine point lead into the final 12 minutes.
Looking to hold on for their first win of the season, the Magic continued to be pressured by the Pelicans knocking down open shots. With the lead hovering around eight or more for much of the quarter, things looked good for the Magic. However, New Orleans made a late push, cutting the lead down to five late, before the Magic got a pair of big buckets from Evan Fournier to pull away for their first win of the season.
Fournier did the bulk of the damage for the Magic, finishing with a career-high 30. Nikola Vucevic notched his second straight double-double, finishing with 22 points and 13 rebounds against a beaten and battered Pelicans front line. Victor Oladipo rounded out the group of Magic men in double figures, finishing with 12.
Eric Gordon led the way for the Pelicans, finishing with 21, 11 of which came in the third quarter. Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson all finished with 14, with Davis adding 10 rebounds to round out the Pelicans in double figures.

Dear Member,
You will have no doubt read about capital market volatility and how its effects are being felt across the world. In this Explainer, our Investment Management Unit, takes you through why, for a long-term investor like the Fund, there is no need to adjust its investment positioning for short-term market volatility.
What is stagflation and why is it important?
Global stagflation fear was the key macroeconomic theme for the first quarter of 2022. Stagflation is essentially rising or high inflation against stagnating economic growth or rising unemployment. During the first quarter of 2022, in many global economies, inflationary pressures were intensifying, however labour markets were recovering, especially in the US.
Interestingly, in South Africa, the official unemployment rate decreased from 35.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 34.5% in the first quarter of 2022. When it comes to inflation, price pressures were expected to push inflation beyond 6% however this was delayed by the fuel tax cut for April and May 2022. And, as we have learned now, this cut has been extended for June and July 2022 as well.
The link between rising inflation and interest rates
Central banks in various countries responded to rising inflation by increasing interest rates. In South Africa, the Reserve Bank increased the repo rate to 4.75%. Interestingly, the Reserve Bank lifted its economic growth forecast of the first quarter of this year from 2.1% in January 2022 to 3.6% in May 2022, reflecting better than expected economic performance. Therefore, the pace and timing of interest rate hikes are critical in how they affect growth while curbing inflation. The market expects the repo rate to climb back to 7.5% by July 2024, however considering the market tends to overreact after interest rate hikes, in our opinion, the repo rate is likely to settle at 6.5% by this timeframe.
US happenings and the impact on South African assets
The US also hiked its central bank interest rate in early May 2022 by 0.5%. The US central bank had not hiked interest rates by 0.5% since 2000, clearly showing the bank's urgent response against rising inflation. Higher US rates mean trying times for all risk assets including all South African assets, which in the global context, are considered risk assets. Other global events that impact South Africa's market performance include the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict and lockdowns in China as part of that government's efforts at a Covid-19-zero policy. These events have led to European countries somewhat reducing their reliance on Russian energy sources. Economists have also argued that oil prices would have been higher leading to more global inflationary pressure if China was not in strict lockdowns.
The important takeaway
Back to the Fund and its investment performance: in the first quarter, South African equities, nominal, and inflation-linked bonds delivered positive performances while listed properties delivered a negative performance. In March 2022, the Rand gained over 5% against the dollar reducing the returns of offshore assets. The Fund's offshore assets accounted for approximately 29.5% of the Fund. In the second quarter, to May 2022, South African inflation-linked bonds are the only asset class to have delivered a positive performance. Listed property, nominal bonds, and equities delivered negative performances. The rand lost over 7% against the dollar, which is a positive for the returns of offshore assets. The Fund's positioning with respect to these asset classes has led to an overall one-year Fund performance of 10.5% in the first quarter. This is good news as Fund performance is significantly above the current Consumer Price Index return of 5.9%.
How the Fund ensures your bottom line
The Fund is underweight offshore assets against the current allowable limit of 45%, which was changed in the first quarter of 2022, from a limit of 40%. This means the Fund's current allocation to offshore assets (40%) is lower than the allowable allocation (45%). Given market volatility, the Fund is going to increase its offshore exposure gradually, as we are of the view that the Rand is likely to weaken, and South African assets are expected to underperform global assets. As the Fund, we are closely tracking developments in local and global markets. We continue adopting a thorough and robust approach to ensure your money is being invested with care and consideration for a better investment return.

Stomper Henry spotted a motorcyclist who had a Traffic Police officer hot on his heels along Geylang Road at around 8am this morning (Sep 8).
The biker was going against traffic flow and did not appear to be stopping in a video sent in by the Stomper.
Henry told Stomp via WhatsApp:
"Motorcyclist going wrong way pursued by traffic cop this morning at Geylang Road.
"Please ignore the date stamp on the video as it was not set properly."
Just minutes later, Henry also came across an accident whereby a man was trapped underneath a car at Sim Avenue.

Could it be that Spain's famous "airport without flights" is about to get busy at long last? It may be so. EPM reported that the airport has now done the necessary calibration of their radar and so forth to receive certification to operate, though the initial certification only is good Wednesday-Sunday, from 10AM to 6PM.
The Canadian company that obtained the license to operate the airport, SNC Lavalin, said charter flights could start as early as this weekend, with commerical flights hopefully following in March 2016. Supposedly they are in serious negotiations with at least one UK low-cost airline to fly to Castellón.
And, Las Provincias is reporting one of the first charter flight customers is likely to be.....Villarreal CF!! According to the paper, Villarreal plans to sign a contract with Lavalin to use the airport for charter flights "for all official functions". This would make sense since at the moment Villarreal takes charter flights from Valencia's Manises airport, an hour's drive away.
In addition, the airport may be used to launch "nano-satellites"; a Barcelona company, Celestia Aerospace, considers the airport ideal as a base because of the lack of commercial traffic (!) and the company ultimately chose Castellon over other alternatives. Whether they will ever achieve the rosy forecasts of 40 launches per year, and 40-50 employees on site, isn't known, and from the article here they appear to be searching for venture capital and clients, but the idea is intriguing.
By the way, Lavalin's passenger projections for 2015 are pretty modest--35,000--quite a change from the 2 million passengers per year originally projected. (To be fair, by 2012 the number was down to 300,000).
If you have started following Villarreal in the last few years, and want to get some background on the airport (who was a shirt sponsor from around 2004-2011) there's a pretty good article in English here (it is from 2012, so what you need to know beyond that is Fabra has just gone to jail for tax fraud).
Looking forward to the day when our UK supporters 9and those if us flying through the UK) can fly into Castellón.

Take the confusion out of your metadata discussions
There is great value in metadata. However it can be a big and confusing topic. Get started with this overview providing structure to different uses of metadata.
All data starts with business metadata. This is the information we need to actually build a dataset. There is someone in the business who approved the collection and processing of data in the first place. He/she also provides requirements an descriptions on what he needs. The challenge is that this information is often not maintained throughout time which leads business metadata quality to decrease.
Become aware of the necessity and value of business metadata to enable support on data requests, make it findable and also understandable!
When we actually know what the business wants, we can design and implement this into physical form through technical metadata. We can now build the actual application or buy it of the shelf and map it to the business metadata.
Now that we know what data we need, what it means and have a place to store and process data; we can start doing business. This will generate operational metadata. This type of metadata is very valuable in monitoring our data processes. We get insights in what data is processed, how often, the speed and frequency. This is great input in analysing the performance of our IT landscape and see where improvements can be made. Further we monitor the access to systems and data. When we take it a step further we can even start analysing patterns and possibly spot odd behaviour as signals of threats to our data.
Step into the driving seat capturing and analysing your operational metadata and become pro-active in controlling your IT landscape!
Finally we can also take the social metadata as an inspiration. And this is where the actual value of your data becomes tangible. If value is determined as the benefit the user thinks he gains, the way that he uses the data is an indicator of value. Thus if we start measuring what data is used often by many users, this data must be important and valuable. So let's invest in improving the quality of this data to improve the value created. Behaviour is also a good indicator to measure. How much time is spent on content and which content is skipped quickly. Apparently that content doesn't match up with what the user is looking for.
Measure social metadata to analyse what data is used often by many. It is likely to be more valuable than other data.

The Facts
Resthaven prides itself on providing outstanding care and support for older people and their carers. Recent misleading and biased reporting in the mainstream media is most disappointing.
I'd like to provide some background and correct any misconceptions that may have been caused by an article that implied that Resthaven's senior leaders are profiting from the fees charged to older people. This is simply not true.
Each of the matters raised are addressed below:
- Management salaries – the $9.08m quoted in The Advertiser on 22 January 2022 includes the salaries of every Program Manager, Senior Manager and Executive across all of Resthaven. The comparison between Resthaven's reported executive salaries and those of other providers is not relevant as Resthaven has historically reported transparently on all of its managers, while other providers only report on their executive leadership teams.
- Surplus – Resthaven posted a $16.6m surplus in 2020/21, of which $13m related to investment income. Resthaven invests all residential accommodation deposits held on behalf of its residents in an investment portfolio, which moves in line with the share market. When the share market goes up, the value of the portfolio increases and this gain (or loss when the market goes down) is recognised in Resthaven's surplus. A significant proportion of the 2020/2021 surplus reflects the improvement in the share market. Losses were recovered from the previous financial year, at the beginning of the pandemic, when the market fell, with an adverse impact on prior year's results.
- Care Management Fees – pricing for home care packages is complex. The comparisons made in the article were not valid. Meaningful comparisons are difficult. The internal analysis Resthaven undertakes indicates that our administration and management fees are in line with those charged by other large and reputable providers.
As a not-for-profit public benevolent institution, with an 86 year history, any surplus made is used to improve the lives of older people.
Resthaven currently employs around 2,850 staff across 41 locations throughout metropolitan and regional South Australia.
Resthaven makes significant investments in the redevelopment of residential sites, with both Resthaven Bellevue Heights and Resthaven Westbourne Park currently undergoing major redevelopments, and Resthaven Community Services continue to expand, with new offices in Goolwa, Victor Harbor, Gawler and Goodwood and respite cottages in Aldinga, Victor Harbor and Toorak Gardens.
At a time when the sector and its people should be congratulated for our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I question the motives behind the article.
Our people make an important contribution every day in the lives of older people. I thank them and am sorry for any upset this article may have caused.

KUALA LUMPUR: The government is taking various approaches in its efforts to raise the income and purchasing power of the B40 households, the Dewan Negara was told today.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy) Arthur Joseph Kurup (pix) said these included offering programmes, such as the Urban Economic Empowerment Programme and Income Increment Programme, in order to boost their income and capability to secure higher-income jobs.
The government was also improving access to basic needs such as education, health and housing, as well as promoting entrepreneurship and access to financing such as the micro credit financing provided by TEKUN Nasional, he said.
"(Another approach is) improving the social protection system by introducing an integrated and comprehensive social protection system framework, including the PeKa B40 healthcare protection scheme," Arthur said in reply to Senator Dr Nuing Jeluing's query during the debate on the Supply Bill 2021.
Nuing wanted to know how many households fell under the national poverty line income (PLI) of RM2,208 per household (revised from RM980 previously) and measures being taken to overcome poverty.
Arthur said the government was drafting policies and strategies in the 12th Malaysia Plan to tackle poverty and improve the rakyat's well-being.
"To tackle poverty and upgrade the service delivery mechanism at the grassroots level, the government will strengthen the bottom-up approach among the stakeholders.
"The approach will therefore be improved through the involvement of the public and community-based organisations. The authorities will also be empowered to identify and reduce pockets of poverty at the community level," he added.
On PLI, Arthur said based on the findings of the Household Income and Expenditure and Basic Amenities Survey (HIES&BA) 2019, the national PLI was revised to RM2,208 a month.
"Using the 2019 PLI, the absolute poverty rate was 5.6 per cent comprising 405,441 households in 2019 compared with 7.6 per cent, involving 525,743 households, in 2016," he said.
Meanwhile, replying to a supplementary question from Nuing, he said the government had implemented several initiatives to improve the living standards of people in Sabah and Sarawak, including increasing the intake of students with potential into high performance schools and training institutions, cultivating entrepreneurship focusing on skills based on intrinsic talent, and providing assistance in financing and the marketing of products and services. -Bernama

Opposition Leader Arnhim Eustace has reiterated his position that he is not prepared to go to a select committee and will instead continue to call for the proposed amendment to the Representation of the People Act to be withdrawn from the House.{{more}}
Eustace said on the New Times programme yesterday that he considered this move to be a âbackward step.â
âIt is inconsistent with the position that we had taken,â Eustace said.
He initially made the comment during a public meeting at Heritage Square on Tuesday, March 1.
At that meeting, the Opposition Leader made it clear that he would not go to the select committee and that he wanted the Bill withdrawn from the Parliament.
âI am not going to no select committee and discuss nothing,â he continued, saying that the majority of the people on the select committee will be ministers of government.
And although the process of selecting the committee includes the naming of persons by the government and opposition teams, Eustace further contended that the Government had the majority.
He added that an additional five persons who are not members of the House were eligible to sit on the select committee, but were ineligible to vote.
He was of the opinion that the process could go on for months depending on the frequency with which the Government conducted meetings.
âWe are not going to debate anything like that, we want the Bill withdrawn in the Parliament,â Eustace said.
He explained that working on behalf of the people was serious business.
âIt is not an easy thing, very often you have to make decisions which are not popular,â he told his supporters.
âYou must have a clear mind, must have a conscience and you must have the confidence to know that what you are doing is in the interest of the people who elected you to Parliament.â
Eustace said members of Parliament need to be well-informed on issues and that politicians often needed to make important decisions.
âWe have determined that, in this case, the only thing in the interest of the people is to have the Bill withdrawn and that is what we will be working towards,â Eustace said. (DD)

Best cylindrical roller bearing manufacturer supplier: The company has rich experience in the industry of bearing production and export. We focus on not only the domestic market, but also the international market. Moreover we integrate R&D, production and export of bearings. We constantly strive for research and innovation development, adhere to the concept of "survival of high quality", and provide excellent service for customers. Our employees receive professional training. Our competence to work out a proposal that springs a "before vs after" clear your worries. Our concept of " survival of high quality" urges us to attach great importance to our products quality and price, thus we have absolute strengths on them. Read additional details at https://www.jnsnbearing.com/cylindrical-roller-bearings.html.
There are numerous types available, and many have no inner rings. The drawn-cup type has a pressed steel outer ring and the precision (solid) type has a machined outer ring. There are also cage-and-roller assemblies without rings. Most bearings have pressed steel cages, but some are without cages. Except the following types are available, the HF and CF series are also obtainable in JnSn (Just ask!). SCE and SCE-PP Series – Drawn cup needle roller bearing, Open ends for through shafts, cage guided, with/without seals, Inch dimensional. N Series – Bearings of N design are single row cylindrical roller bearing and have two fixed ribs on the inner ring that retain the rollers and cage and one smooth outer ring. This design allows an axial displacement in certain limits, of the shaft in relation to the housing. Therefore, N Series rolling bearings are used in non-locating bearing units. Also, the N Series bearings have virtually no thrust capacity. NU Series – Are single row cylindrical roller bearings and have two fixed ribs on the outer ring and one smooth inner ring. This design allows an axial displacement in certain limits, of the shaft in relation to the housing. Therefore, NU Series rolling bearings are used in non-locating bearing units. Also, the NU Series bearings have no virtually thrust capacity.

This design allows an axial displacement in certain limits, of the shaft in relation to the housing. Therefore, NU Series rolling bearings are used in non-locating bearing units. Also, the NU Series bearings have no virtually thrust capacity. NJ cylindrical roller bearing tends to posses a collar on its inner race at one end. This collar is normally positioned in such a way that it transfers the axial load in the shaft to the rolling elements. This is the type of cylindrical roller bearing which is capable of carrying axial load to a certain extent. The extent of the axial load that can be carried by the bearing is dependent only on the specific bearing.
The correct form and dimensional accuracy of outer ring of drawn cup needle roller bearing is achieved only by press fitting into proper housing with appropriate interference. Therefore, roller inscribed circle diameter is measured after press fitted into a standard ring gauge. Full complement drawn cup needle bearings F type has a drawn outer shell that serves as a raceway for the maximum number of rollers. This combines high radial load-carrying capability with low cost. And this series is ideal for applications where the shaft must be removed for service, which is also easy and convenient for assembly. The drawn cup needle roller bearings are commonly used in transmissions, alternators, A/C compressors, pumps, outboard engines, power tools, tractors, door closers etc.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings (DGBB) are the most common form of rolling bearings and are used in a variety of applications; particularly those where high speeds and low power loss are required. DGBB can handle not only radial forces, but also moderate axial loads in both directions. They are easy to install and can be deployed in a variety of configurations. Our deep groove ball bearings deliver reliable performance in a wide range of applications and conditions. With super-finished raceways and controlled geometries, our premium design helps ensure consistent quality. Our portfolio includes standard, thin section, narrow, wide and miniature and extra-small deep groove ball bearings that span 3 mm to 400 mm bore sizes. Also there're several different material options for the bearings, such as chrome steel, stainless steel, hybrid ceramic and etc. The extended product line includes a complete offering of open, shields, seals and snap ring combinations.
This 6400 series deep groove ball bearing is rated heavy, making it applicable for usage with heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads. It can be used to a maximum operating temperature of 120 degrees C/248 degrees F. The inner and outer rings and balls are made of a low-alloy, through-hardened chromium steel for durability, heat tolerance, and resistance to deformity under heavy loads, and the sheet steel cage prevents the balls from coming into contact with each other during use, reducing friction, vibration, and noise. It has an open design for lubricating the bearing in place. This deep groove ball bearing series is for usage in various applications such as transmissions, motors, pumps, bicycles, machine tools, generators, textile machinery, agriculture machinery and inline skates, among others.
Jnsn wholesale bearing suppliers parts at great pricing. Fast free, worldwide shipping. Great warranties. Volume discounts. Technical Drawings. Lowest Pricing. Standard precision bearings generally use stamped steel cages. Extra precision bearings, on the other hand, use cages made from stainless steel, bronze, or phenolic— Cages made from these materials offer higher speeds and better loading capabilities.Precision ball bearings are used for high precision applications in a variety of markets, including aerospace, health, machine tool, robotics and general industry.Precision types of bearing are used in critical aeronautical bearings, guidance system balls for space and military applications, valves, automotive bearings, cosmetics, and other applications where higher precision is required. Read more details on https://www.jnsnbearing.com/.
F6000 series bearings are very similar to normal grooved ball bearings, and the only difference is that this type ball bearings have a flange on the outer ring, which can be very useful for mounting the bearings in through holes or axial location. Flanged deep groove ball bearings F6000 series are available in open, shielded and sealed options. The shields and sealed options provide protection to prevent debris and dust getting into the bearing, while at the same time retaining the grease to ensure good lubrication and a long service life. Metric sized deep groove radial flanged ball bearings can bear heavy radial loads and moderate thrust loads in both directions. These bearings are made to the same sizes as standard bearings 6000 series. They also have a flange, which allows flush fitting into housings up to the flange shoulder. This type of bearing is often used on steel tracks to act as both a guide and a support. Deep groove ball bearings are widely used bearings. They use uninterrupted raceways, making them an excellent choice for radial loads. This design achieves precise tolerances even at high speeds.

Human hands possess remarkable dexterity and have long served as a source of inspiration for robotic manipulation. In this work, we propose a human Hand-Informed visual representation learning framework to solve difficult Dexterous manipulation tasks (H-InDex). Our framework consists of three stages: (i) pre-training representations with 3D human hand pose estimation, (ii) offline adapting representations with self-supervised keypoint detection, and (iii) reinforcement learning with exponential moving average BatchNorm. The last two stages only modify 0.36% parameters of the pre-trained representation in total, ensuring the knowledge from pre-training is maintained to the full extent. We empirically study 12 challenging dexterous manipulation tasks and find that our method largely surpasses the previous state-of-the-art method and also the recent visual foundation models for motor control.
Method Overview
Visualization of Tasks
We show the successful trajectories of our dexterous manipulation task suite, generated by policies trained with H-InDex.
Visualization of Self-Supervised Keypoint Detection
We visualize the self-supervised keypoint detection results in Stage 2. The trajectory here is from the training videos.

These 8 Genius Products Will Uninvite Mosquitoes and Other Bugs from Your Outdoor Space
Gathering outside on the porch or patio with friends is always one of the best parts of summer—that is, until unwanted guests start to show up. No, we're not talking about your nosy neighbors, we mean mosquitoes and other bugs, whose presence can quickly put a damper on an otherwise enjoyable get-together. Luckily, there are tons of amazing products that help steer pests away from your beloved outdoor space.

The Endless Question: Universal's Endless Summer vs On-Site Disney
This week Disney announced they are discontinuing Magical Express in January 2022. The complimentary service picked up guests at Orlando International Airport and brought them, and their belongings in the pre-COVID era, to their Walt Disney World Resort. Len estimated that roughly 40% of our users used the Magical Express system for travel to and from Walt Disney World.
In our Slack channel, Julia wondered if this made competing hotels look more attractive for guests on a budget. For example, Universal's new Endless Summer resort rack room rates start at $30 less a day than similar Disney resorts. This question got us wondering, could a family save money staying at Universal and visiting Walt Disney World post-Magical Express?
The Scenario
Disney removing Magical Express decreases the value proposition for their on-site resorts; now guests must pay for their transportation to the resort. Universal on the other hand offers equivalent rooms at a fraction of the cost of Disney.
Disney's cheapest rack rates are (with tax):
- All-Star Resorts at $112
- Pop Century at $154
- Art of Animation at $180
Universal's Endless Summer rates (with tax) are:
- Standard room at $89, four-night stay
- Two-room, three-bed suite at $134, four-night stay
Our goal is to determine the different costs in transportation and then find if we can save money traveling to Walt Disney World over staying at Walt Disney World itself.
Rental Cars
We at TouringPlans love rental cars – they add flexibility and convenience to any vacation. According to trip booking site Kayak, the average price of a rental car in Orlando is $35 per day. Orlando International Airport charges a $2.50 per day fee for rental cars, plus a 6-7% sales tax, and other fees we approximate to around $7 per day. Assuming you get an intermediate car or similar we're factoring in $5 of gas per day. Self-parking is $15 per day at Endless Summer and Disney's value resorts.
Rental Car Per Day Average: | $35 |
Rental Car Fees & Taxes: | Approx $7 |
Gas: | $5 |
Hotel Parking: | $15 |
Total: | $62 |
Additionally, parking at Disney and Universal theme parks is $25 per day. We will factor this in at the end of the article.
- The flexibility to travel whenever you want and traveling to offsite restaurants
- Bring and leave child seats, diapers, toys, snacks, change of clothes, and more in the car
- Expensive, at least $62 per day plus theme park parking fees
Ridesharing has boomed thanks to convenient mobile apps like Uber and Lyft. The gist is you enter a destination in the app and using your phone's GPS a driver is sent to you. Ridesharing apps offer more flexibility than taxis and at a lower price point. Using Uber's fare estimator tool we determined that the average cost of a trip from Endless Summer to the Magic Kingdom is $18 one way, $36 round trip. We also included a rounded up 20% tip.
Endless Summer to MK (avg) | $18 |
MK to Endless Summer (avg) | $18 |
Tips Total (round trip) | $8 |
Total | $44 |
We will also factor in ridesharing to and from the airport: $42 to Pop Century one way and $36 to Endless Summer one way, including taxes, fees, and 20% tip.
- Biggest savings, half the price of a rental car
- Skip having to park, can drop off closer to the park
- "Stuck" at the park for the day unless you spend more to travel back
- Have to wait for rideshare driver to show up
- "Surge" pricing during park closure
Doing the Math
Let us use an example: a five day, four-night trip to Orlando at the end of this month, January 25 – 29, with three days in the parks. All rooms are standard rooms with standard views. I am including the 20% off discount Disney is currently running through early 2021. Here are how they add up (accurate as of January 14, 2021).
Pop Century (20% Off) | Pop Century (Rack Rate) | Endless Summer | |
Room (w/ tax) | $523.88 | $660.38 | $367.88 |
Rental Car Total | $310 | $310 | $385 |
Rideshare (MCO to Hotel) | $84 | $84 | $72 |
Rideshare (Hotel to Parks) | N/A | N/A | $132 |
Total w/ Rental | $838.88 | $970.38 | $752.88 |
Total w/ Rideshare | $607.88 | $744.38 | $571.88 |
If a rental car is a must, guests can save up to $220 by staying off-site! Disney's 20% off rate makes the prices more competitive with a savings of $85. Once All-Star Resorts reopen we expect the price disparity to shrink even more. Renting a car is roughly the same as using rideshare to Disney with the standard rate, while the cheapest option is ridesharing from Endless Summer.
The question then becomes are the savings worth it. With Disney's upcoming "early entry" to allow admission to on-site guests into Disney Parks 30 minutes early each day, the time saved by not driving from Disney to Universal each day (or not having to driving a rental car on I-4 during rush hour), and the overall vibe of staying in the Disney bubble, some people may feel it is worth $220.
Since we found savings in some scenarios we suggest you plug your room rates into the table above (while adjusting transportation based on length of stay) to see if you can save money. This spreadsheet also works for moderate and deluxe resorts!

The Pennsylvania gaming industry is booming. The Keystone State set a fiscal year record for revenue and taxes in 2022/2023.
The online vertical of gambling has helped push the state beyond the $5 billion threshold for gaming revenue the past two fiscal years. However, retail slots at Pennsylvania casinos are the state's bread and butter, making up 44.4% of the entire gambling revenue.
Almost every gambling vertical increased in the state over the last 12 months.
Pennsylvania breaks fiscal year record in gambling revenue and taxes
After June revenue figures were released, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) reported a new state record for revenue and taxes.
Pennsylvania recorded $5.51 billion in gaming revenue for the FY 2022/2023 and reached a tax mark of $2.37 billion. Both categories are a record over any 12-month period, eclipsing the $5.2 billion in revenue the state made in the calendar year 2022.
To put into context, Pennsylvania generated $5.04 billion in gaming revenue last fiscal year, resulting in nearly a $500 million increase in this latest report. From FY 2011/2012, gaming revenue had always been around $3.2 billion. Since the addition of online gaming, it's only increased from there:
- 2017/2018: $3.25 billion
- 2018/2019: $3.31 billion
- 2019/2020: $2.72 billion
- 2020/2021: $3.87 billion
- 2021/2022: $5.04 billion
- 2022/2023: $5.51 billion
PGCB Director of Communications, Doug Harbach, commented on the growth of the gaming industry to PlayPennsylvania:
"The market over the past year or so after the COVID period has rebounded well with continued significant play in the casinos. In addition, more players are comfortable with the growing online gaming options which are tested and closely monitored by Gaming Control Board staff, just has been the case for over 16 years in our work with casinos, to assure fairness and integrity with all games."
Retail PA casino slot machines still rule the market
While the launch of online casinos and sports betting in Pennsylvania has moved the ball forward, as Harbach said, slot play at retail casinos have remained strong. In fact, land-based casinos reported the second-highest total revenue ever at $2.45 billion.
The record for retail slot revenue was set in 2011/2012, when PA casinos recorded $2.48 billion. This is only the fourth time the Keystone State produced retail slot revenue of more than $2.40 billion since 2010/2011.
Parx Casino is the leader of the slot pack by far. The Bensalem casino, which has been recently ranked as one of the world's most profitable casinos, posted a revenue total of $390 million. Parx's slot total dropped slightly (4.41%) this fiscal year.
The next closest casinos in slot revenue are Wind Creek Bethlehem and Rivers Casino Pittsburgh. Here are the top 10 slot operators in the state:
- Parx Casino: $390 million
- Wind Creek Bethlehem: $278.9 million
- Rivers Casino Pittsburgh: $269.5 million
- Mohegan Pennsylvania: $184 million
- Hollywood Casino at the Meadows: $169.2 million
- Mount Airy Casino Resort: $156 million
- Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course: $150.6 million
- Rivers Casino Philadelphia: $132 million
- Live! Casino Philadelphia: $131.2 million
- Harrah's Philadelphia: $125.9 million
Wind Creek Bethlehem and Rivers Casino Pittsburgh were recognized recently as Top 20 Commercial Casinos Outside Nevada.
Pennsylvania casinos have recovered and even grown since the pandemic. Parx Casino opened another location in Shippensburg earlier this year.
Online and retail slots generate majority of PA gambling revenue
While the entire market is flourishing, slots are the main factor that drives revenue for the state.
As retail slots produced $2.45 billion in revenue, online slots registered slightly more than half that at $1.29 billion. Though Pennsylvania boasts the top market for online casinos in the country, it still gives perspective on how strong retail slots are.
Putting the two together, retail and online slots generate 67.9% of the gaming revenue in FY 2022/2023.
Clearly, there's an appeal for slots in Pennsylvania. Tiffany Gambla, an online content creator and avid slot player, told PlayPennsylvania the promotions operators offer draw people in:
"As someone who genuinely enjoys playing slots, these promos make my bankroll last longer which means more hours of fun for me, and more chances to win," she said last month.
Whatever casino operators are providing, both online and retail, it's working.
Other PA gaming verticals' performance FY 2022/2023
Online casinos and retail casinos deliver the most revenue for the state. However, there are other categories that contribute, too.
Here is every PA gambling verticals' performance in FY 2022/2023:
- Retail slots: $2.45 billion
- Retail table games: $974 million
- Online casinos: $1.53 billion
- Sports betting: $492 million
- VGTs: $42.1 million
- Fantasy sports: $20.6 million
- Total: $5.51 billion
Only retail table games and fantasy sports revenue declined in FY 2022/2023.
The PA gambling industry is even continuing to expand, with several online casinos expected to launch in the Keystone State in the near future.

CHICAGO: The body of missing Saudi Arabian tourist Abdulrahman Al-Anazi was discovered early on Monday in Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio.
Al-Anazi was reported missing after having a meal with friends and a relative on Friday morning, Jan. 27. They said Al-Anazi had walked away and was not seen again.
Cleveland Police officials said they sent search teams to find the man, near to where he was last seen in the popular tourist district near the East 9th Street pier along the lakefront.
Al-Anazi's family immediately contacted the authorities in Clevland and the Saudi embassy in the US to investigate his disappearance.
"He left without his jacket, without his mobile phone and wallet, on the condition that he would return after that," his brother Badr Falah Al-Anazi told MBC News 24. "Meanwhile, his cousin was waiting for him in the car, provided that he would after 10 minutes," he added.
His body was found in the waters of Lake Erie early on Monday, near to where he had last been seen, it was reported.
The National Weather Service reported that temperatures at the location were only 2 C.
The official cause of death will not be announced until he is examined by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner.
Cleveland police told Arab News they were concerned about Alanazi's whereabouts. He reportedly could not speak English, was unfamiliar with the area and that his disappearance status was listed by the police as "endangered."
Relatives told local news media that Alanazi had been in the US to accompany his brother, who was receiving liver transplant treatment.
Al-Anazi's passing comes after the death of 25-year-old Saudi student Alwaleed Algheraibi who was found stabbed to death in his Hansberry Street property in Germantown Philadelphia on Jan. 23.
A Pennsylvania judge has denied bail for Nicole Marie Rodgers, 19, who is accused of the Jan. 23 murder.

What are waterproof alternative to sheet rock for walls?
Shuganne on May 28, 2018
It takes more than grits to live through two hurricanes and want to prepare for a third. My first thought is cement board. It is design for showers and I think will be the closest thing to waterproof drywall you're looking for.
My second thought is just paint the concrete walls. You may want to do some finishing work so it looks well, fisidhed.
My third thought is bow to the inevitable. Nail vertical 8' 1x3s to the header, every 4 '. Then buy some inexpensive wood paneling and use the 1x3s at the joints. Use as little construction glue as possible. This would get ruined, but would be easy to pull out and would hurt less on the wallet.
As for doors ... do you need them? Would an open floor plan be feasible? Exterior doors, I'd vote for solid steel; interior, hollow core, disposable, too.
Move the electric up as high as you can comfortably reach.
Does this sound feasible, Seagrits?
(Sorry for the partial answer above. Chihuahua #1 wanted to join the fun!)
Lina Splichal on May 28, 2018
There is nothing fully waterproof, because no matter what you put on the wall as a finish your studs are probably still wood and will get water damage. They also may host mold spores, which can then grow out of any seams. If you do not have any wood to worry about you can use cement panels and seal the edges well.

HardyBoard -- fiberglass/concrete wall panels -- avail at Lowe's ,etc. BUT that won't prevent water from seeping UNDERNEATH / Between the boards if submerged from a flood ....
