On Wednesday afternoon, the Rangers introduced members of their 2019 NHL Draft class to members of the media at Madison Square Garden.
Among the group was second-overall pick Kaapo Kakko, who gave his initial impression of MSG and the city of New York, and spoke about wanting to play with the Rangers next season.
A member of the 1994 Stanley Cup Champion Rangers has been induted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Defenseman Sergei Zubov, in his seventh year of eligibility, made the cut to join professional ice hockey's most esteemed players in Toronto's sacred hall. He joins a class that includes Guy Carbonneau, Václav Nedomanský and Haley Wickenheiser.
Although Zubov spent most of his career with the Dallas Stars, he began his career as a Ranger. Drafted in the fifth round in 1990, he played a pivotal role on the legendary 1994 team, scoring a career-high 89 points in 78 regular season games. He also added 19 more over 22 playoff contests en route to the Rangers' first championship in 54 years.
The Rangers are making their push for free agent Artemi Panarin, but their hopes of landing him do not appear favorable.
According to Rick Carpiniello of The Athletic, the Rangers are meeting with Panarin this week but it remains possible, if not probable, that he will sign with the Florida Panthers instead.
Rangers president John Davidson, who knows Panarin well from his time as the Columbus Blue Jackets president, is expected to be part of the meeting with the free agent winger.
The Rangers have announced their schedule for the 2019-20 season.
Highlights include:
- Seven of their first 10 games, and 11 of their first 16 games of the season taking place at Madison Square Garden
- Their 2,000th all-time regular season game at the current MSG on Oct. 27, 2019 against Boston.
- Three of their four games against the Islanders coming in a nine-day span from Jan. 13, 2020 to Jan. 21, 2020.
- Their five-day bye week following the 2020 NHL All-Star Game, which takes place on Jan. 26.
Check out the full schedule below...
As the first two picks of the 2019 NHL Draft, the careers of Jack Hughes of the Devils and Kaapo Kakko of the Rangers figure to be forever linked.
New Jersey only ratcheted up the recently dormant rivalry with their Manhattan counterparts further Saturday by pulling off a blockbuster trade for Norris Trophy-winning defenseman P.K. Subban, countering the Rangers big addition on the blue line earlier this month, the acquisition of first-pair defenseman Jacob Trouba from Winnipeg.
While free agency looms in July, the transformational addition of the Blueshirts' summer haul so far clearly was the Finnish-bred Kakko, the slam-dunk No.2 selection after the Devils expectedly opened the draft by grabbing Hughes, the 18-year-old American projected franchise center, with the top pick.
The Rangers are far from a finished product as they aim to climb back into playoff contention in the Metropolitan Division, but they officially have landed their coveted Finnish product.
Drafting 18-year-old winger Kaapo Kakko with the No.2 overall pick in the NHL Draft on Friday night in Vancouver was a slam-dunk choice after the rival Devils selected American center Jack Hughes first overall a few minutes earlier.
"Of course, it was my dream to be No. 1," Kakko told reporters Friday night in Vancouver. "But of course, the second one is also good, and every team in the NHL is a good team, so I'm happy.
"I've never been to New York before, but I think it's coming. It's my plan and my hope I can be there next season."
Rangers fans have been waiting eagerly to see which super-prospect they would get ever since they moved up to second in the draft lottery in May. Now, the waiting is finally over.
General manager Jeff Gorton chose Kaapo Kakko second overall in the NHL Draft on Friday night, gifting the Rangers a generational talent that instantly slots into their top-six forward group.
The Devils made Gorton's decision easy by selecting U.S.-born Jack Hughes first overall, leaving Kakko the clear-cut best option. Although he went second overall, Kakko is projected to be a budding superstar and becomes the most exciting prospect in a stacked Rangers system.
Ryan Callahan's NHL career appears to be coming to an end.
The former Rangers captain, currently on the Tampa Bay Lightning, was told by doctors he has a degenerative back disease and was recommended that he no longer play hockey, Lightning GM Julien BriseBois announced on Thursday.
Callahan, 34, opened up about his back condition in an interview with the team's website, calling it a "degenerative disc disease," and essentially confirmed he will not be returning.
The Rangers are in the midst of a rebuild, but their latest move already has them trending in the right direction.
New York struck a deal with the Jets to acquire D Jacob Trouba in exchange for Neal Pionk and the No. 20 overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft on Monday. Many believe the Rangers got a steal in this trade, acquiring a 25-year-old two-way defender that is one of the best in the league.
Getting Trouba onto their roster is just another positive step for the Rangers, who are impressing NBC Sports' NHL analyst Pierre McGuire.

The NHL Draft Lottery was kind to the New York Rangers, a team looking to accelerate their rebuild as fast as possible. And on Friday, they'll be selecting No. 2 overall in Vancouver.
And with that pick, it's almost certain that it will be Finnish winger Kaapo Kakko, who many view as the second-best prospect in the Draft behind United States C Jack Hughes.
If the mock drafts and speculation hold true, the Rangers will be getting Kakko - a 6-foot-2, aggressive player that has the potential to go down in history as one of the best to come out of Finland.
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Round 1: Friday, June 21 at 8 p.m.; TV: NBCSN
Rounds 2-7: Saturday, June 22 at 1 p.m.; TV: NHL Network
No. 2 (First Round)
No. 20 (First Round, via Winnipeg)
No. 49 (Second Round, via Dallas)
No. 58 (Second Round, via Tampa Bay)
No. 68 (Third Round)
No. 112 (Fourth Round, via Columbus)
No. 130 (Fifth Round)
No. 161 (Sixth Round)
No. 205 (Seventh Round, via Columbus)
After the Jets bungled the process a bit, the Rangers swooped in and traded for star defenseman Jacob Trouba on Monday night -- and got him for a price that most saw as very low.
That price was Neal Pionk and the No. 20 pick in the upcoming NHL draft.
On a conference call Tuesday morning, Trouba talked about the "shock" of getting traded, said he "couldn't be more excited" to be on the Rangers, and talked about his future.
The acquisition of Jacob Trouba from the Winnipeg Jets represents the start of a new era on Broadway. No longer will the Blueshirts be hoping the ping pong balls fall in their direction during the draft lottery. Rather, they are planning to be battling for playoff positioning as the season winds down next spring.
Trouba will immediately become the top-pairing right-handed defenseman in the Rangers lineup.
"He is a big defenseman, he is 25 years old, can play against the best players, has offense, can kill penalties, and is in the prime of his career," Rangers general manager Jeff Gorton said as he raved about Trouba's skill set. "The opportunity for a player like that to become available doesn't happen all the time, we jumped on it."
The Rangers acquired Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba for defenseman Neal Pionk and the No. 20 pick in the NHL draft, the team announced Monday.
Trouba, 25, is a restricted free agent who recorded eight goals, 42 assists and 50 points for Winnipeg last season, scoring 18 points on power plays.
"He's in the prime of his career ... we jumped on it," Rangers GM Jeff Gorton said.
The Rangers are aggressively pursuing a trade for Winnipeg defenseman Jacob Trouba, according to the New York Post, but they're not alone.
The rival Islanders and Devils are also in the mix for Trouba, per the Post.
Trouba, a 25-year-old righty, is a restricted free agent who's been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time. With the Jets facing a cap issues, a Trouba trade might finally happen this offseason. The NHL Draft is next weekend and free agency starts on July 1, so it could happen sooner than later.

There is recent precedent for the Rangers buying out a player to save some cap space, a longtime warrior at that. They bought out Dan Girardi's contract two years ago, and they could very well go the buyout route for at least one player this summer when the buyout period opens on Saturday.
"In all honesty, we haven't ruled it out," Rangers GM Jeff Gorton told the New York Post. "It's on the table. And regardless of what we do with this buyout window, we'd certainly look at the second one, too, depending on what comes up over the next few weeks. A lot can happen."
As the Post reports, Brendan Smith and Kevin Shattenkirk are the two big buyout candidates for the Blueshirts. Are there others? Let's take a look at whom the Rangers might buy out as they prepare for an important summer.

It's every young athlete's dream to play for the team he or she grew up rooting for.
For Adam Fox, that dream has become reality.
The 21-year-old defenseman signed with the Rangers this offseason after three years at Harvard, and his new boss has big things in mind for him.
The New York Rangers enter the NHL offseason in one of the best positions: They have money to spend, and are a prime free agent destination.
Some of the game's biggest names, like Erik Karlsson and Artemi Panarin, have already been linked to the Rangers before free agency begins on July 1. The team also scored a major victory in the draft lottery and will get to select a franchise player with the second overall pick.
While the Rangers are expected to be finalists for either Panarin or Karlsson this summer, that doesn't mean they should be done shopping. They have many prospects gunning for spots, but it is a little bit of proven veteran goal scoring that has a way of coming up clutch in the Stanley Cup playoffs-just look at Justin Williams and Patrick Maroon in this year's postseason.

It wouldn't have mattered which team had the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft. Jack Hughes just wants to be the first player taken.
"You always dream of being No. 1," Hughes told reporters Friday at the NHL Scouting Combine in Buffalo. "You don't dream of being two, three or four when you're a young kid."
But the 18-year-old American center isn't about to ruffle any feathers. Asked whether he'd look better in red or blue, with the Devils and Rangers holding the top two picks in the NHL Draft, Hughes said, "I think I'd look good in either."
It was a rough season for the NHL's Hudson River Rivalry.
The Devils took a huge step back after making the playoffs in 2017-18, their 72 points the third-fewest in the league, while the Rangers were only six points better as they embarked on their first full season of their rebuild.
But next month's NHL Draft represents an opportunity for both teams to add a potential game-changing prospect, as the Devils hold the No. 1 pick with the Rangers picking right after at No. 2. American center Jack Hughes and Finnish wing Kaapo Kakko should be the top-two picks in some order, with Hughes long pegged as the top prospect in this draft class.

With John Davidson set to make his first draft selection as president of the Rangers next month, Kaapo Kakko being available at No. 2 is becoming more and more tantalizing.
The 18-year-old showed out for Team Finland, which captured the gold medal, at the IHF World Championship this past month. Finland bested Canada, 3-1, in the championship match Monday.
Kaako poured in six goals, leading the team, and added an assist during the team's championship run, which capped an historic 13-month stretch for him. He became the sixth player ever to win an U-18 world championship, world junior championship and men's world championship.
Although no New York-area teams made it to the Stanley Cup Final this year, the Empire State will still have a large impact on hockey's grandest stage. Twelve players from the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues have connections with the New York metro area in some way, so local fans still have plenty of reasons to tune in.
Boston Bruins
The Bruins have one of the largest collections of American-born hockey players of any team in the NHL. Not surprisingly, several of them have called New York home for at least part of their careers.

Twenty-five years ago today, Mark Messier immortalized himself in Rangers history.
The Blueshirts captain scored a hat trick in Game 6 of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, backing up his bold prediction from the day before that the Rangers would beat the Devils and force a Game 7.
Messier's goals all came in the third period and included the game-tying and go-ahead goals in the 4-2 road victory at Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ.
John Davidson's years as a goaltender and broadcaster for the Rangers made him a natural fit for their president vacancy. But beyond his connections to the franchise, Davidson comes with the experience of rebuilding franchises in St. Louis and Columbus as the Rangers go through a remodeling of their own.
No situation is the same, but as Davidson embarks on the next chapter of his career, it's worth examining the moves he made at his previous two stops to help bring the Blues back to prominence and give the Blue Jackets their first taste of sustained competitiveness.

The Rangers welcomed back new president John Davidson on Wednesday with a press conference at the Hulu Theater at MSG. Here are five takeaways from the press conference:
A Dream Come True
It's obvious how much returning to New York means to Davidson, the former Rangers goaltender and broadcaster beloved by the fan base.
"Dreams do come true," Davidson said.
Here we go again with the Rangers and Erik Karlsson.
After being linked to the star defenseman when the Senators were looking to trade him last offseason, despite the fact they weren't actually in on him, the Rangers are considered "a favorite" and "probably the most likely destination" for Karlsson in free agency this summer, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
Johnston addressed Karlsson's future during a Thursday radio interview with Sportsnet 960 The FAN in Calgary. Because the Rangers have cap space and the No. 2 pick in this year's NHL Draft, there's speculation that the Blueshirts could try to accelerate their rebuild.

The Rangers have signed Russian defenseman Yegor Rykov to a two-year entry-level contract, according to TVA Sports and The Athletic.
According to both reports, the contract has an out clause which would allow 22-year-old, who had been playing for HC Sochi, to return to the KHL if he wishes.
Rykov was acquired from the Devils at the 2018 trade deadline as part of a package the Rangers received in exchange for Michael Grabner. The Rangers used the second-round pick acquired in that trade to move up four spots to No. 22 in the 2018 NHL Draft to select K'Andre Miller. The Devils took Rykov in the fifth round of the 2016 draft.

Time will tell whether the Devils thinking highly enough of Kaapo Kakko to take him over long-presumed No. 1 NHL Draft pick Jack Hughes, but Kakko's emergence over the last year has at least made it a debate.
And Kakko thinks it can happen, especially as he dominates in the IIHF World Championship.
"This is a big thing for me for the draft," Kakko told NHL.com through a translator. "I think I can be the first (pick)."
The New York Rangers are about to hire John Davidson as their new team president.
The Columbus Blue Jackets announced on Friday that Davidson had submitted his resignation as president of hockey operations after being granted permission to speak to the Rangers about serving as their team president.
"Personally, I want to thank J.D. for his friendship and the many contributions that he and his wife, Diana, have made to the Blue Jackets and throughout our community," Blue Jackets president Mike Priest said in a statement
The NHL Draft gets more interesting by the day.
Because the more Kaapo Kakko plays in the IIHF World Championship, the more he impresses, adding intrigue to the Devils' decision on whom to select first overall.
The Finnish wing, who will go to the Rangers at No. 2 if the Devils take American center Jack Hughes at No. 1, scored a beauty of a goal on Thursday for his sixth goal of the tournament.
The Rangers announced on Thursday that Jim Schoenfeld, the team's senior vice president and assistant general manager, had stepped down after 17 years with the organization. This comes on the heels of Glen Sather walking away as team president.
"In nearly two decades with the Rangers, Jim made an impact on every level of the organization," Sather, who will transition to a senior advisor role once a new president is hired, said in a press release. "His tireless efforts and contributions were vital to the extended run of success we experienced during his tenure in New York."
The tournament is only two days old, but Kaapo Kakko is already the talk of the IIHF World Championship.
The 18-year-old Finnish wing scored a hat trick Saturday in Finland's 4-2 win over Slovakia, giving him five goals after he scored two in the team's opener on Friday.
Kakko's first of the game was a long one-timer. He showed brilliant hands on his second goal before adding an empty-netter.
It appears as if there could be a good ol' New York vs. New Jersey battle for Finnish hockey phenom Kaapo Kakko.
Many expect the 18-year-old forward to go second overall to the Rangers, but perhaps it is too early to count out the Devils just yet.
Kakko scored an impressive goal at the IIHF Worlds on Friday, grabbing the puck on a breakaway while a defender attempted to trip him from behind. Kakko escaped free of the defender's stick while also deking out the goalie to sneak the puck past him.
When the clip of the goal surfaced on Twitter, the Rangers tweeted out the eyeball emoji while the Devils tweeted out a double eyes emoji along with a gif of the goal five minutes later.
Now that the Stars have been eliminated from the playoffs, speculation is already running rampant about what the future holds for former Rangers fan favorite Mats Zuccarello, whom the Rangers traded to Dallas at this year's deadline.
The Blueshirts missed out on getting Dallas' 2019 first-round pick by a goal as the Stars lost to the Blues in double overtime of Game 7 Tuesday night. Instead, the Rangers will get the Stars' second-rounder. However, if Zuccarello re-signs with the Stars, the 2020 third-round pick New York got from Dallas will become a first-rounder.
Based on what Zuccarello had to say about the matter Thursday, it seems the Blueshirts may luck out with next year's NHL Draft.

Now that the Columbus Blue Jackets have officially been eliminated from the playoffs, the Rangers can move forward with their offseason plans.
The Rangers had narrowed their search for a new president to John Davidson, the current president of the Blue Jackets and former Rangers goalie and broadcaster.
Davidson is believed to have a clause in his contract that would allow him to leave his position and the Rangers are expected to put in an official request soon, according to Larry Brooks of The Post.
A Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs is a must-watch for hockey fans. But Tuesday night's Game 7 between Dallas and St. Louis in the Western Conference semifinals will have significant implications for the Rangers and one of their ex-players.
A Stars win would not only send former fan favorite Mats Zuccarello to the next round, but it'd convert the second round pick the Rangers traded him for earlier this year into a first-rounder.
Zuccarello suffered a broken arm during his first game with the Stars, but returned for the team's playoff run. In the first round, he was a pivotal part of Dallas' upset over Nashville, scoring three goals.

Those intrigued by the Rangers holding the second overall selection in this year's NHL Draft are already becoming familiar with the name Kaapo Kakko.
The Finnish 18-year-old is widely expected to be drafted No. 2 overall -- behind Jack Hughes. And fans will have a chance to get a feel for his game throughout May. He'll be in action over the course of the next few weeks for Team Finland at the 2019 International Hockey Federation World Championships in Slovakia.
Finland announced its full roster Monday.
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist sounded awfully unsure of his future with the Rangers before quickly clarifying his comments.
The 37-year-old, who has two years remaining on his contract, told the Swedish newspaper Expressen, "I don't know if I'll stay with the Rangers my entire career."
"I have two years left on my deal and it has always been my goal to stay with the Rangers, but once you get up there in age you never know," he said.

The Rangers signed two former draft picks, including 2018 first-round pick Vitali Kravtsov, to entry-level contracts.
Kravtsov, a 19-year-old forward, has played with the KHL's Traktor Chelyabinsk for the past three years, scoring eight goals and recording 13 assists in 50 games this past season.
New York drafted Kravtsov, a 6-foot-4, 183-pound right winger, ninth overall last year. He made the KHL All-Star Game last season and won Bronze with Team Russia at the U20 World Junior Championship earlier this year.
Adam Fox could make his Broadway debut as soon as this fall.
What was a formality once the Rangers acquired his rights this week became official on Thursday as Fox signed his entry-level contract. Assuming the 21-year-old is as advertised during training camp, he could be on the Blueshirts' NHL roster on opening night.
Tags: Brady Skjei, Chris Kreider
Adam Fox is headed home.
The Jericho, New York native and former Harvard standout has been traded from the Hurricanes to the Rangers for a second round pick in this year's draft and a conditional third-rounder in 2020.
Fox wrapped up his collegiate career last month with the Crimson, where he was a three-year starter and scored 116 points during his tenure. In 2018-19, he had nine goals and 39 assists. The 21-year-old also served as an alternate captain on the 2018 U.S. World Junior Championships team and was a member of the gold-medal winning group the year prior.
Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist was named a finalist for the 2019-19 King Clancy Memorial Trophy, the NHL announced on Tuesday.
The King Clancy Memorial Trophy is awarded to a player who "best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and have made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."
The winner of the award is chosen by a committee of senior NHL executives led by Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly.

The Rangers appear to be moving toward hiring John Davidson to replace Glen Sather as the team's president, according to Larry Brooks of The Post.
Davidson, 66, is currently the president of the Columbus Blue Jackets, who just unexpectedly swept the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Rangers would have to wait until the Blue Jackets are out of the playoffs before they can hire Davidson, though.
Former Rangers coach Alain Vigneault is back in the NHL, and his old team is going to be seeing plenty of him.
Vigneault was named the new coach of the Flyers on Monday after sitting out the 2018-19 season. It was Philadelphia where Vigneault coached his final game with the Blueshirts last season, getting fired by Jeff Gorton just hours after the season finale when the team returned to New York.
"It is an honor to be selected as the next head coach of the Flyers," Vigneault said in a release. "The history they have established and the passionate fan base has made this a first-class franchise. I am excited to work with Chuck (Fletcher,) the talented group of players and prospects coming up through the system, in order to return Philadelphia to the top of the NHL landscape."

The probable top two picks in the 2019 NHL Draft have topped NHL Central Scouting's final rankings lists.
American center Jack Hughes is ranked No. 1 on Central Scouting's list of North American skaters, while Finnish wing Kaapo Kakko is ranked No. 1 on its list of International skaters.
The Rangers drew the No. 2 pick in the June draft during last week's NHL Draft Lottery, while the Devils came away with the No. 1 pick. Hughes has long been considered the consensus No. 1 selection, but there's been recent talk of Kakko at least closing the gap on Hughes as far as who the top prospect is in this year's draft class after a strong season in the Finnish Liiga.
The ping pong balls went the Rangers' way Tuesday night, and by getting the No. 2 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, they not only end up with their highest ever selection in the draft, but they're guaranteed to get a game-changing prospect for their rebuild.
They're likely to end up with Finnish right wing Kaapo Kakko, assuming the Devils select American standout Jack Hughes at No. 1. Those two players are the top tier of this upcoming draft class, with the consensus being that Kakko has the ability to be a star in the NHL.
Get to know the player who might accelerate the Rangers' path toward contention:
Record-setting season
The Rangers had their biggest win of 2019 on Tuesday night at the NHL Draft lottery.
The Blueshirts, projected to have the sixth pick, jumped all the way to the second overall pick for the NHL Draft, which takes place on June 21 in Vancouver.
The Rangers had a 23.3 percent chance of landing a top-three pick. They have never chosen within the top three picks under the current draft format.
Come Tuesday night, the Rangers will be hoping the ping pong balls are bouncing their way.
After a rebuilding effort that saw them finish seventh in the Metropolitan Division, the Rangers enter Tuesday night's NHL Draft lottery with the sixth-best odds of winning the No. 1 overall pick (7.5 percent). Additionally, the team owns a 23.3 percent chance of gaining a top three pick, according to tankathon.com.
The Rangers sunk their odds with a meaningless overtime victory Saturday in Pittsburgh.
Ending the season on a high note is surely a morale boost for the organization and its players.
But the Rangers' 4-3 overtime victory over Pittsburgh on Saturday actually knocked the Blueshirts from fifth to sixth in the NHL Draft lottery draw, when they could have moved up to fourth had they lost in regulation to the Penguins.
Instead, the meaningless victory means the Rangers now own a 7.5 percent chance of drawing the top pick in the lottery; they have not selected first overall since 1965.

Pardew said: "It felt like a defeat when the third goal went in. We rallied and had a great chance in extra time.
"We had to dig in. This was a top team we were playing, but I felt we were going to win. Only a 35-yard Gerrard smasher was going to change that.
"The players have been magnificent - we are proud of the way we played."
Pardew added: "We can take a lot from this game. The first trophy is always the hardest to win.
"But this team will come back - we produced a performance to show we can live with the big boys."
West Ham captain Nigel Reo-Coker was inconsolable as he tried to come to terms with his team's FA Cup final defeat to Liverpool on penalties after the game ended at 3-3.
Reo-Coker told BBC Sport: "I can't describe it how I feel at the moment - gutted because I think we deserved to win this game.
"The players put in a fantastic effort, but it just wasn't to be for us.
"It was a marvellous FA Cup final and we gave all we could. I hope everyone was proud - it just wasn't our day."
West Ham were leading in stoppage time at 3-2, before Steven Gerrard's superb equaliser - the second time the Liverpool captain had pulled his side level.
Like Pardew, Teddy Sheringham was convinced West Ham had won the game.
"It is a cruel game and we were outstanding. We had to dig deep, but we just couldn't dig deep enough.
"It was a great FA Cup final and there were fantastic moments going on all over the pitch."

Andy Davis drives from Durban to Mozambique, fueled by energy drinks and dreams of Indian Ocean vistas
It seemed like a good idea to leave Durban at midnight. "We'll drive through the night, cross the border when it opens at 6am and barrel straight up the coast to Inhambane. We'll be soaking ourselves in a rock pool just after lunch," said my brother.
At around 3am, we stopped for a break and a bite to eat; that's when I made the mistake of drinking an entire can of Monster Energy. The resulting heart palpitations and cross-eyed, caffeine-fuelled panic attack, meant that while I remained vividly awake, I couldn't handle heavy machinery until 7am.
Which, incidentally, is a terrible time to push through Maputo, Mozambique's capital, whose over-burdened infrastructure can't cope with congestion. Sitting bumper-to-bumper, in the rain, for two hours is no way for a sleep-deprived, tourist-in-transit, to come down from a massive caffeine and sugar jolt. Luckily, the deeper we push into Mozambique, the better it gets.
With the stuttering traffic of Maputo in the rearview, the country opens up. We hit a long highway lined with coconut palms and punctuated by a series of rural villages; groves of mango and macadamia nut trees and banana palms are an organic, year-round supermarket augmenting village supplies. As we exit any village big enough to have a few shops lining the road, we see groups of police officers and soldiers moodily meditating in plastic chairs, taking advantage of the shade offered by the trees.
The small provincial capital, Inhambane, Terra de Boa Gente, literally translates as 'land of good people'. Inhambane is a romantic African town, a place where fading art deco buildings, with obstinate fig trees growing out of their windows, jostle alongside functional government offices. Its former glories are being steadily reanimated by the tourist dollars flowing through the 'business district' of Mozambique's premier beachfront attraction: Praia do Tofo, our final destination.
So, Inhambane is the last stop for money, petrol, rice, tinned foods, beers, plasters, painkillers and mosquito repellant. Then it's a 22-mile dash to Praia do Tofo, which is an old fishing village now offering unparalleled diving in the Indian Ocean. We stock up, throwing in toasted Portuguese rolls and hot chorizo sausages, straight off the barbecue, smothered in a dangerous peri-peri.
The local bakers in Tofo produce these rolls along with pasteis de nata (Portuguese custard pastries) each morning and sell them alongside fresh fish in the beachside market. The marine bounty includes dorado, mackerel, red snapper, tuna and mountains of prawns.
We can smell them being barbecued on coconut husks on the shore when we come up for air while chasing dolphins, manta rays and whale sharks through the underwater world. We surf the classic point break of Tofinho, just around the corner, luxuriating in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Tofo itself is distinctly surfable, but the softer waves in the bay are better for beginners. Later, we swing in hammocks, cold beer cradled in our laps, tastebuds tantalised by the seafood grill wafting on the afternoon onshore breeze.

I have stumbled across this interesting piece of article yesterday. Thought it'll be cool to share:
To be perfectly frank, I believe that no "anime fan" (real or semi-real or fake) out there could honestly claim they have no experience undermining the integrity of this delicate little concept called "intellectual property". Personally I am very interested in discussions on this topic, be it built around anime or the more mainstream music, movie and software industries. I won't go into details here today though, or it runs the risk of growing into a 10,000 word essay which would spell certain doom for me at work tomorrow…
As a matter of fact, I almost created a new category in this blog named "legal and compliance" about a minute ago. Yet on second thought it's most likely to be an eyesore and never clicked upon, so never mind : P Continue reading

The Canada Child Benefit is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children and has helped lift about 300,000 children out of poverty. In July 2018, the Benefit was indexed to keep up with the cost of living.
Guaranteed Income Supplement
The increase to the Guaranteed Income Supplement top-up for single seniors provides greater income security for close to 900,000 seniors, of whom approximately 70% are women, and is lifting an estimated 57,000 vulnerable seniors out of poverty.
National Housing Strategy
Canada's first National Housing Strategy is a 10-year, $40-billion investment that will give more Canadians a place to call home by removing 530,000 families from housing need and by reducing chronic homelessness by 50%.
Public transit infrastructure
Public transit infrastructure investments under the Investing in Canada Plan can provide better access to housing, shelters, early learning and child care, as well as to cultural, sport and recreation infrastructure.
Early Learning and Child Care
Investments in early learning and child care to help Canadian children get the best start in life and have a fair chance to succeed. High-quality, affordable child care across the country are critical to the economic security of families.
Labour Market Transfer Agreements
Funding provided to provinces and territories through Labour Market Transfer Agreements help unemployed Canadians prepare for and return to work and provide a full range of employment programs and services ranging from skills training to career counselling and job search assistance.
Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program
The new Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program, formally known as the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy, supports over 85 Indigenous organizations that design and deliver labour market programs to increase Indigenous participation in the job market.
Canada Workers Benefit
The Canada Workers Benefit, an enhanced version of the Working Income Tax Benefit, is a refundable tax credit that is intended to supplement the earnings of low-income workers and improves work incentives for low-income Canadians while raising 70,000 Canadians out of poverty.
Mental health initiatives
Mental health initiatives funded through provincial and territorial agreements help Canadians who suffer from mental illness, who make up a disproportionate percentage of people living in poverty.

We caught up with Gaurav Mehrotra, MBA from NMIMS Mumbai (2013-15 Batch ). He has recently authored his first novel and was kind enough to share his insights with us on MBA, life and the road ahead !
1. Hello Gaurav, warm welcome to IdeasMakeMarket.com. Tell us something about your journey so far.
Thank you for having me here on IdeasMakeMarket. I would be lying if I say that it hasn't been an interesting journey so far. Rather that would be an understatement. Having shuffled across a slew of schools and cities, I have been able to come across people who have helped me mold into the person I am today. Though probably, the thing that helped me develop my personality was the game of Lawn Tennis, with which I am absolutely in love to this date. Apart from Tennis, I also picked up the hobbies of Reading and irritating the hell out of people worse than Ashutosh from AAP, which have yet to desert me as well.
Corny attempt at joke aside, luck has played an integral part in shaping my career trajectory. I would have to say, that if at all the crucial moments where I would have traversed off in a different direction, if fate wouldn't have had it, then I would have not been in the field of studies, let alone be an engineer, neither would I have made it to a consulting firm like E&Y after completing my engineering, nor would I have been able to do my MBA from NMIMS. So, even if I do not appreciate him bouncing me around faster than Michael Jordan ever did a basketball, Luck or Fate or Destiny has shaped my life hugely.
2. Prior to your MBA, you have worked with consulting firms like E&Y. How has that shaped your personality?
It's an interesting thing, working in a consulting firm in terms of how they shape you just through the enormous exposure they provide you with. Mostly people view Consultants as White Collared Sales Machines designed to lie and sell honey-coated brain-schemes to head honchos of firms, who already know about these schemes, but aren't ready to accept it. That's true to an extent. What goes amiss is the amount of confidence and perseverance it takes to sell these schemes to a CXO level person. They are the thick skinned people, who have reached the reached the summit, after proverbially selling ice to Eskimos themselves. This interaction, although I had extremely limited myself, helps you in both these aspects, not to mention, learning how to work harder, although probably not as much as an Entrepreneur, or an Investment Banker, or All India Bakchod trying to prove that Ranveer Singh should be the poster-child of AIDS across the world.
3. Tell us about your MBA life at NMIMS, Mumbai. What have you loved the most?
That is a loaded question because I do have many moments that left an indelible mark. The bro-hug on stage during the induction with one of my roomies, the Joker act during Manan, the way I went into both the companies, be it Summers or Finals, the complete 2 years with Ecolibria, it is a kaleidoscope of intermingling memories. And it was all over before I even started to get the hang of it all, how to actually balance everything out during the most important phase of my life. And even though there were many moments across these 2 years, the absolute favorite were the moments of camaraderie I was able to spend with 2 teams, one being official team as the dramatics club (and not cell) in Rangpunch, and the other as the self-proclaimed team of Athenians. Every moment that went in rehearsals, and then converting that hard work into performance with the Rangpunch, and seeing all those absolutely fantastic talents, who probably would be more successful if they went to the field of dramatics, and being a part of that team, was absolutely thrilling. Simultaneously, all those people with whom I worked with and found glory in success and Roadies type bitching in failures, paved way for a glorious ride, one which was both educating as well as exhilarating at the same time. So, those 2 bits would be my favorite ones.
4. You were also at the forefront of student activities at NMIMS, Mumbai. What are the challenges you have encountered?
I wouldn't really say forefront as I truly enjoy the backseat, which does provide room for filling out, the biggest challenge that anyone could face is trying to get a team action-ready for a particular task. I do mention action-ready, and not merely ready, as it is highly critical to differentiate them in my opinion. Merely ready would be something that one can recognize with Mr. Rahul Gandhi, who is always ready to do something. It's just that something never pans out the way he wants. For the action part, I don't think we must look any further than our beloved Thalaiva, Rajnikanth. What action. But that's just about it (I am leaving out the style). Or Chuck Norris. So, you got to have both your elements in place when you need to get team ready for a particular task. Not only you must have a definite Plan A, and a backup Plan B and C, but you must also be able to get everyone motivated enough, which is difficult since everyone has their own priorities, to perform that task. Thankfully, I found a great team in Ecolibria, who at every point of time, not only supported me completely, but performed every task with their utmost capabilities beyond their calling.
5. One incident or key learning you would like to share with the MBA aspirants & readers
Well that would have to be the incident which basically set in stone my career path forever, and that was the day KPMG entered our campus for Summer Placements. They were offering 2 profiles, in Corporate Finance and Strategy. I have short-listed for the former with my interest being for the latter. Hence I decided to tank the GD and I duly informed the group about my intentions. My strategy was to be a Butcher, i.e. shout like a madman twice or thrice (the GD being only for 3 minutes), say something without logic, and basically go against everyone. I did the same. However, I was the only person to be selected from my GD group. To say, the next time I saw met those guys, one of whom was my room-mate, it was extremely uncomfortable, especially since I was later shifted to Strategy profile and got through. If that wouldn't have happened, I am certain that my career trajectory would have certainly been different, and probably of someone else's as well. I would like to take this space hence, to offer an unconditional apology to those who were a part of that group, especially since I did not had the courgae to say it then.
Also, as every major incident provides us some learnings, here are few of mine:
- The coaching centres (TIME, Career Launcher, etc.) might teach you that shouting out and going against the grain gets you booted out of a GD. That's a lie! I repeat, that is a lie! Sometimes.
- If you are going to tank a GD, shut up about it, and do not open your mouth like Tyrion Lannister!
- If you are going to be a blabbering buffoon, and tell everyone about it, at least let them know how you plan to do it, so that everyone can prepare accordingly.
- Why the hell would you try and tank a GD anyway?
6. You have recently authored a book. Tell us more about it?
Well, as much as I would like to say that my book is a new age classic, which brings into the literature world a whole new genre, it doesn't. It is a romantic-comedy, which is the story of an everyday engineer (read mine). However, since it is loosely based on my life, the Romance part is completely fictional, while the Comedy part and rest of the miscellaneous emotions are more or less all the incidents that I encountered during my engineering life. Now, it may sound like a run-of-the-mill idea or a straight up thing from the land of Chetan Bhagat, I would assure everyone, that in terms of execution, it would be very different than all of the books that people have come across in this genre. And it starts with the title of the book itself, "1610 Rickoculous Moments". Honestly, even I don't know how I am going to define the phrase Rickoculous (which has its roots, heritage and culture deeply embedded in the word Ridiculous). So, without divulging any intricate details of the plot (there aren't any), I would simply ask the readers to pick up the book and enjoy the ride.
7. Apart from studies and writing, what else interests you?
I hope that by studies you meant reading books, as anyone who knows my CGPA (or percentage) in college knows that studies is something that I only enjoy if it isn't academic related. However, if we take these 2 out, I really am left with a list of activities which I can probably count on my hands. Top of that list would be drawing, playing, either on my Playstation or on my laptop, creating Memes, and eating (as of this moment, I cannot possibly think of any other activity at all). However, they are still something that which still form an iota of the time that I spend on reading or writing something (this is where my eating has been gaining on rest of the activities as evident with my bulging waist line), and I continue and plan to increase them with every passing day.
8. What are your future plans? Author, Job or something else?
I sincerely hope that this isn't a question of what are your short term and long term goals. Thankfully, I was never once asked about them in any of my interviews. But in any case, being a writer is something that is definitely on the radar. I have given myself the year of 2020, by which time I should be able to settle into my career as a worshiper of the quill, with no plan B in mind. However, as previously stated, I have had my plans changed, sometimes completely tangentially, with some assistance to Mr. Fate. So, in case it doesn't happen, I would not be surprised or disappointed. However, at the end of the day, if I am able to become a writer, then years, or decades down the line, all I wish to say when asked "Are you still in love with books and writing, after all these years?", is "Always!"
Ideasmakemarket.com and its team wishes you success and a great career ahead ! Thank yor sharing your valuable insights and experiences.

Tonight I had the chance to go and see an 'Unlimited' screening of Jamie Foxx's new movie, Sleepless. I say new, it seems as though this was actually released in the US back in January. I thought the fact Cineworld were showing this as an 'Unlimited' movie that is was an early screening, but now I'm not actually too sure?
I was really looking forward to this film – I hadn't really seen a full trailer, but from what I had seen it looked like it was going to be a fun one to watch, plus I do usually like Jamie Foxx films. However, my spirits were dampened a bit when I accidentally saw headline reviews, and they were pretty terrible (I usually actually try and stay away from reviews all together before seeing a film so nothing is spoiled and I go in with a clean mind about the film). Nevertheless, at the end of the day reviews are only someone's opinion, so I still went in with hopes I would disagree.
But, this film was only okay. It wasn't terrible, but then it wasn't all that great. Sleepless doesn't really do anything that we haven't seen before in a dirty cop film. All the ingredients are there – a drug deal gone bad, angry drug dealer, kid taken as a hostage, doubt over who can be trusted.
Although there a number of twist and turns, everything is all very predictable, and at times the film does give us a couple of too obvious clues as to what is going on. I found it quite difficult to real root for any of the characters, as the film seemed a bit confused about this itself. But, the film chugs along at a reasonable and very angry pace. Everything in this film is angry, all the characters seem angry the whole time, the soundtrack is angry, even the way the film is lit makes it look angry. While I'm mentioning the soundtrack, I actually thought this area was pretty weak. The film was trying hard to build suspense, but never quite hit
As is often the problem with mediocre films, everything just seems a bit too convenient. The character of Jamie Foxx's ex seems to have been cast as a nurse just so she can show up at the right time when shots have been fired. And also happens to know how to effectively neutralise drug lords henchman? There are a few occasions as well where the film seems to have forgotten they have included things. For example, at time Jamie Foxx's character can hardly move because of a stabbing, but later he seems absolutely fine, only for it to kick back into pain a few scenes later. And a hand that must be shattered by a fire extinguisher, also seems to be forgotten about, almost immediately.
Sleepless has a couple of big stars in there, in Jamie Foxx and Michelle Monaghan, it is just a shame we don't get to see the best of them, as in previous outings I've really enjoyed them. I was also quite pleased to see David Harbour, as I thought he was great in The Newsroom series, despite only being a supporting role. Unfortunately, Sleepless doesn't really get the best out of any of its stars, and this won't be going down as one of their highlights.
One thing I will say for the film, is that I think it actually ends pretty well. Not that it is an amazing finale, but where a lot of films tie things up with a nice bow and everything has worked out for the best, Sleepless makes us think it is doing this, but then as the curtain closes, it tells us that although the story has finished for us, this isn't the end for these characters who still have consequences to deal with. A nice touch you don't see too often – unless it is setting up for a sequel, which I really hope isn't the case!
If this does have a wider UK release in cinemas, it probably isn't worth your time. A shame, as i do usually like Jamie Foxx.
An average 5/10

This sweet corn methi pulav/Sweet corn fenugreek rice is the excellent lunch box recipe.The little bitterness of methi/fenugreek leaves and the light sweetness of the sweet corn gives an excellent combination.The aromatic smell of this rice makes our mouth watering.All that we need is we must have both methi and sweet corn at home.
As I told already this is a very good lunch box recipe which can be prepared with in less time.We can give this to children undoubtedly as it is healthier recipe and for serving we need only fresh curd or raita.This sweet corn methi pulav donot require much hectic ingredients.
This can be prepared as one pot item or the way which i prepared.Even if we have much cooked rice we can prepare this.
Now coming into the recipe.
- Basmathi Rice:1 cup.
- Water:2 cups.
- Methi/Fenugreek leaves:1/2 cup.
- Sweet corn:1/2 cup.
- Biryani leaf:1.
- Onion:1.
- Ginger garlic paste:1tsp.
- Garam masala:3/4 tsp.
- oil:2 tbsp.
- Cinnamon stick:1 inch.
- Cardamom:1.
- Cloves/Laung:1
- Green chillies:2-3.
- Salt:adjust to taste.
- Mint/Pudina leaves:1 tsp.
- Wash and soak the rice for 30 min.
- Boil the sweet corn and keep it aside.
- Now keep the rice in the pressure cooker for 3 whistles and allow it cool.
- wash the methi leaves and cut the onion into slices and slit the green chillies.
- now in a pan heat oil and add Cinnamon stick,clove,cardamom and fry and add Biryani leaf,ginger garlic paste andfry until raw smell goes.
- Now add onion pieces and fry until it turns into pink color.
- Now add Methi leaves and fry welland add boiled sweetcorn ,salt and fry well.
- Add rice and mix well and then add garam masala and again mix well
- Now garnish with Mint/pudina leaves.
- Serve hot with fresh curd or raita.
There is another way of preparing .Here,I am giving it simply.
First soak the rice and keep it aside.In a pan heat oil and add cinnamon stick,cloves,cardamom,ginger garlic paste,onion slices,green chillies,methi leaves ,sweet corn corn and fry until the raw smaell goes off.Now add soaked rice and fry for another 1 min .Now add water and salt and keep it for 3 whistles.That's all this process will finish the preparation of sweet corn methi pulao.
- Here we can use pepper powder instead of slitted green chillies for those who like pepper flavor.
- Here i used fresh sweet corn but if you are using frozen sweet corn bring them to room temperature.
Please give suggestions below .

Welcome to Heads-up, our weekly feature which gives you an at-a-glance run-down on the games you'll be able to buy or rent this weekend. Every Monday we'll pick out the best of the bunch, link to our reviews and previews and keep you in the video game loop so you have enough time to pre-order for Friday's post. Time to splosh the dosh.
Worth a Look
There's not a massive selection of big games out this week, but the most interesting of the lot is clearly Shadows of the Damned - a weird and slightly twisted horror action title from Grasshopper Manufacture and EA. The game combines the creative talents of Goichi Suda (No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Vanquish, Resident Evil 4), and while it's not without its frustrations, it's certainly a colourful departure from the usual shooter fare. It's funny too, provided you have a fairly sick sense of humour.
Also of note is Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, a retail version of the downloadable update that released two weeks ago. To be blunt, you probably already know about this if you fall into the target audience. If you're looking for new characters to brawl with, check it out; be warned, however, that some fans have been moaning about the new roster balance. Supposedly the new characters are somewhat overpowered. So it goes.
F.E.A.R 3 is something of an unknown quantity, at the time of writing. Martin is sceptical, but Tom Orry is remaining positive as he was a big fan of the previous games.
Shadows Of The Damned - PC, PS3, Xbox 360
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition - PC, PS3, Xbox 360
F.3.A.R - PC, PS3, Xbox 360
And the rest...
- Transformers: Dark of the Moon
- Wii Play: Motion - Wii
- Mafia II Directors Cut - PC, PS3, Xbox 360
- Williams Pinball Classics - PSP, PS3, Xbox 360
- Major League Baseball 2K11 - PC, Xbox 360
- Gods & Heroes - PC
- The Tiny Bang Story - PC
- Ape Escape - PS3
- Cubic Ninja -3DS
- Lets Dance with Mel B - PS3, Wii, X360
- Squinkies - DS

Yesterday full house across UAE for all versions Hindi,Telugu, Tamil and Malyalam. This is unbelievable never before seen kind of craze.But Hindi numbers have been the biggest shocker destroying all hyped Bollywood stars in one shot. Going 2nd time tonight. Finally Indian cinema potential is being realized across the World.ReplyDelete
Hello mr. Ahmed, first of all the film was released in a record 8000 screens in India and the hindi version alone is around 4000 screens. Obviously you have to understand that thus film is a hugely hyper one and obviously top class in content as well. If you calculate the occupancy rate at which the shows are played, the figures will definitely match and these are just the estimates. Don't come up with silly reasons now. 😃 This is the real power of Indian box office which has time and time again proved that Content is King. Jai MahishmathiReplyDelete
Ankur you are not tracking Bahubali 2 properly the way you guys track other big ticket Hindi films.ReplyDeleteReplies

Absolutely biased. Not acceptable. Why there is no updates on Baahubali 2 box collection in details. Only one post in a day. I am constantly coming to addatoday expecting you would have given the update but no. Had it been Khans movies, I am sure, ur portal will be loaded with updates on box office collections, records created and broken... etc.ReplyDelete
Anyhow, I am not a fan of Prabhas neither I watched any of his south movies, I went to theatre to see how 400crs movie looks like on big screen. I am absolutely stunned by the story and action sequence in the movie. Not less than international standard. To be honest, i don't think any movies would be able to match the standard set by the baahubali 2 at least for next few years.
Sunday ke collection batane chahiye to suterday ke dikha raha he , ye ankur bar bar collection dekh ke shock ho jaata he lagta he.ReplyDelete

Despite widespread reports from reliable journalists in both Germany and England, Holger Badstuber will not be joining Manchester City this month.
The 27-year-old Bayern Munich and Germany defender was tipped to head to the Etihad Stadium on a six-month loan, with reports from Kicker (one of the most reputable newspapers in Germany) and many well-known English journalists suggesting a deal was likely.
However, Badstuber has today joined Schalke 04 for the rest of the season, subject to a medical.
Zweiter #S04-Winter-Neuzugang so gut wie perfekt: Vorbehaltlich des Medizinchecks wird @Badstuber ein Schalker 👉 https://t.co/Dya5iLXuPy pic.twitter.com/QGDc3yWS2W
— FC Schalke 04 (@s04) January 10, 2017
It is unclear if City actually missed out on the centre-back or if their interest was exaggerated in the first place, but Pep Guardiola himself said if there was any transfer activity this month, it would most likely be to strengthen the defence, so perhaps the Blues have another target in mind.
Southampton star Virgil van Dijk has been linked persistently over the past month, while moves for young La Liga defenders Aymeric Laporte and Lucas Hernández have been reported as possibilities for the summer by different sources.

Social care funding gap17th March 2011
The King's Fund has warned that social care is facing a funding gap of £1.2bn by 2014 in England.
And the think-tank is concerned that this could have consequences for the NHS.
As local authorities face funding cuts, the organisation is worried about the impact on home help and care home places, which in turn may lead to more hospital admissions and delays in discharges.
By 2014 there will be an extra £1bn made available to local authorities from the NHS budget, though with local authorities also relying on funding from other government departments – which are facing 27% cuts over the next four years – the King's Fund fears that in real terms there would be a 7% cut to the social care budget.
That would see a funding gap of £1.2bn open up within four years.
Report author Richard Humphries said: "However, health and care needs are in fact two sides of the same coin - social care should no longer be viewed as just a supportive handmaiden to the NHS."
But care services minister Paul Burstow rejected the King's Fund figures and said there would be no funding gap as the extra money coupled with more efficient services would ensure those in need got help.
He added: "The government recently allocated extra money to encourage more joined-up working, support the delivery of social care and protect the most vulnerable in society.
"This funding should enable local authorities to protect people's access to services and deliver new approaches to improve their care."

The research in the Bartolomei laboratory focuses epigenetic control of genomic imprinting. They also study how the environment can perturb genomic imprinting and other epigenetic processes important in reproduction and health.
Mechanism of Genomic Imprinting: As a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Shirley Tilghman, I identified the one of the first imprinted genes—the H19 gene and also determined that this gene was adjacent to the imprinted Igf2 gene, representing the first evidence of imprinted gene clusters. In my own laboratory, we study the mechanisms governing imprinted gene expression and have determined that imprinted genes and clusters are regulated by differentially methylated imprinting control regions [ICRs]. In the case of H19 and Igf2, the ICR is a paternally methylated CTCF-dependent insulator. Through the use of cis-acting mutations we have characterized imprinting at the H19 locus and have elucidated elements that are important for setting the DNA methylation imprint in the germline and maintaining imprinting in the embryo after fertilization. Our mouse models contributed to the discovery that epigenetic mutations in the H19 ICR caused Silver-Russell Syndrome in a subset of patients. Additionally, microdeletions in the H19 ICR have been identified in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome. We are generating mouse models as well as using iPS cells to study patient-derived mutations.
Discovery that mouse models epigenetic perturbations identified in Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): In the imprinting field, experiments performed in the 1990's were aimed at elucidating when monoallelic expression was initially set for imprinted genes. Two studies in our laboratory and in the Surani laboratory gave contrasting results for the H19 gene, with our lab showing maternal-specific expression when the gene was activated in the blastocyst and the Surani lab describing biallelic expression at this time. We subsequently determined that culturing mouse preimplantation embryos was associated with loss of imprinted gene expression. It was later shown that ART was associated with a higher than expected number of imprinting syndromes, including Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome and Angelman Syndrome, with almost all documented cases caused by loss of DNA methylation of the ICR. The mouse, which has the added benefit of normal fertility, has proven a valuable model to address these observations and determine mechanisms with the eventual goal of improving ART outcomes. We have shown that in vitro culture, embryo transfer, in vitro fertilization and hormonal hyperstimulation contribute to errors in epigenetic gene regulation. We have also determined that placental tissues are especially sensitive to the manipulations involved in ART.
Generation of a mouse model to study endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs): Numerous experiments in mouse model systems as well as human studies have suggested that exposure to EDCs is associated with aberrant DNA methylation. Because imprinted genes are regulated by DNA methylation, we tested whether imprinting could be disrupted when pregnant dams were exposed to levels of BPA that are comparable to human exposure. We demonstrated that genomic imprinting and DNA methylation of ICRs and repetitive DNA were perturbed in offspring exposed in utero, with a pronounced effect in placenta. We have also shown that metabolic phenotypes observed in F1 offspring exposed in utero were transmitted to their F2 offspring, thus exhibiting multigenerational transmission of the phenotype.
CTCF and insulators: CTCF was initially described as a factor that functioned in transcriptional repression and activation. The first demonstration of its insulator activity was by the Felsenfeld laboratory at the globin locus. It soon became apparent that there were CTCF sites in the H19/Igf2 ICR and that this ICR exhibited insulator activity on the maternal allele. To study the role of CTCF at H19 we generated a knockdown line and showed that in the absence of CTCF, H19 became hypermethylated, and also that embryos died early in development. This study was the first that reported the essential role for CTCF in development. Further experiments demonstrated the extensive role of CTCF in gene activity as well as a role for CTCF interacting with cohesins at a number of developmentally important insulators and regulatory regions. We have also studied CTCF binding in an ES cell differentiation model and elucidated sequence preferences both genomically and biochemically, contributing to the knowledge of the role of CTCF in early developmental decisions, as suggested by the knockdown studies.
Role of DNA methylation in epigenetic gene regulation in the mouse embryo: In early work as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Shirley Tilghman, I demonstrated that DNA methylation was critical for conferring parental identity of imprinted genes. Subsequently, my laboratory demonstrated that DNA methylation was erased in primordial germ cells by the time they enter the gonad and established in a sex-specific manner. We and others have also demonstrated that loss of the maintenance methyltransferase DNMT1 disrupts imprinted gene expression in the embryo as well as the placenta. More recently we have collaborated with a number of groups to understand the mechanism by which DNA methylation imprints are established and erased in the germline, including studies on the role of TDG and unpublished studies on the Tet enzyme family.

Press freedom reports
Kuwait is seen as one of the freest media environments in the Arab world. Kuwait ranks 73rd in Reporters Without Borders Worldwide Press Freedom Index. Commenting on the new press law, the annual Reporters Without Borders report notes that "decriminalization of press offences, announced as the key innovation, was watered down by many exceptions, such as undermining Islamic law and offending God, the Prophet and his aides. These offences are dealt with under criminal law, which still allows imprisonment for them." Similarly, the Freedom House Map of Press Freedom observes that "Kuwaiti journalists are among the freest and most outspoken in the region, with a constitution that provides for freedom of the press under Articles 36 and 37 and a government that respects these principles in practice, with some important exceptions. The Printing and Publications Law and the penal code restrict criticism of the emir and articles that might harm relations with other states, jeopardize the value of the Kuwaiti dinar, or offend moral sensibilities. In addition, the law restricts material deemed offensive to religion or an incitement to hatred or violence. The government arbitrarily enforces these laws, and as a result many journalists practice self-censorship."

Chernin Entertainment Picking Up Hot Sci-Fi Short 'Noon' (Exclusive)
Chernin Entertainment, the production shingle behind Rise of the Planet of the Apes, is dipping into its discretionary fund to pick up the movie rights to Noon, a sci-fi short by Kasra Farahani.
Farahani is a concept artist who has worked on movies such as Spider-Man 3, Hancock and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and as an art director on Thor, Men In Black 3 and the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness.
STORY: Heat Vision's Top 10 Geek Movies of 2012
But harboring filmmaker dreams and working off a screenplay he wrote, Farahani created a short, translating one of his scenes to the screen.
Noon is set in two centuries in the future where, due to a shift in the Earth's axis, the Arctic is one of the only inhabitable lands left, although it is in a perpetual state of day. The scene focuses on a man who facilitates the transfer of illegal immigrants in Noon, the city-state up there.
While many other sci-fi shorts attempt to impress with whiz-bang special-effects-laden action sequences or show off robots and aliens attacking cities, Farahani keeps the showy sci-fi elements in the background and instead focuses on not only his character work but also tension-building.
This is a guy who wants to show he is putting acting and story first.
Farahani (UTA, Management 360) is attached to direct the feature version of Noon, but Chernin will first develop the project internally and hire a scribe to work on the script before setting it up at a studio.
Chernin is producing a couple of movies that will be released later this year, including Universal's Tom Cruise sci-fi project Oblivion and the Sandra Bullock-Melissa McCarthy comedy The Heat.

A Second Chance
By rescuing Whiskey and giving her a second chance, Silvia Kreda, PhD, lung researcher at the School of Medicine, and Preston Parker are helping patients and families during illness and recovery.
by Hannah Crain - email@example.com
Whiskey, a 10-year-old therapy dog, traverses UNC Hospitals' hallways with confidence, proudly wearing her signature pink collar. A fixture in the hospital and university communities, she has been cheering up patients and their families and supporting undergraduate students during exam week for years. But she wasn't always destined to become a therapy dog.
"When we met her eight years ago, she was the perfect dog for us – very kind and outgoing – but her behavioral skills needed work," admits Silvia Kreda, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the UNC School of Medicine and Whiskey's co-owner.
Kreda, a lung disease researcher who focuses on cystic fibrosis, and her husband, Preston Parker, a medical lab technician at UNC Hospitals, remember falling in love with Whiskey on their first visit to Paws4Ever, a nonprofit, adoption-guaranteed shelter in Mebane, North Carolina. After deciding to make Whiskey a part of their home, the couple felt that training would benefit her. Within a few weeks of steady training at Paws4Ever, Whiskey began behaving better. Over time, Kreda and Parker were so pleased with Whiskey's progress that they committed to training her all the way through the Pet Partners Program, which she achieved in 2009.
After certification, Kreda and Parker volunteered at nursing homes and public libraries around the Triangle. The following year, the team applied to volunteer at UNC Hospitals so that they could make visits between work hours. Today, Whiskey visits patients at N.C. Children's Hospital and in the physical therapy clinic at UNC Hospitals.
"When she comes to the office with me, she knows it's time to work," says Kreda, who has been at UNC for two decades. "She is wonderful around children and knows exactly what to do around patients of all ages."
Kreda remembers one instance that illustrates Whiskey's ability to tailor her behavior to the specific needs of the patient. It happened when Kreda and Parker took Whiskey to see a two-year-old pediatric oncology patient.
"The child was very small and sitting on the floor," recalls Kreda. "Without any commands, Whiskey slowly crawled closer to the child so that she wouldn't intimidate her."
The moment revealed to the couple how intuitive Whiskey is when she approaches a patient and how effective pet therapy can be for patients. Whiskey has been of particularly good service to patients recovering from physical health challenges that require therapy.
"Patients have a hard time not thinking about their particular challenge, especially when it comes to physical exercises that may help them during their recovery," Kreda said. "But as soon as they come into contact with a therapy dog, they instantly relax and can think about something positive, which, in some cases, allows them to do more physically. It's like a burst of sunshine enters the room all of a sudden."
Whiskey was a source of sunshine for a teenage patient who lost the use of her legs due to an accident. The patient, Kreda remembers, feared that her dog at home wouldn't feel the same about her because of her disability.
"Dog therapy is so successful because it reminds people who are dealing with challenges that animals see us for who we are," Kreda told her. "They don't see anything else – they just love you."
By working with Whiskey, the patient learned how to take her dog on a walk.
"She looked forward to returning home and walking with her dog," Kreda says.
Every summer, Kreda and Parker take Whiskey to Helping Kids with Hemiplegia, a therapeutic day camp for kids with hemiplegia. The camp, founded by Holly Holland, senior pediatric occupational therapist at N.C. Children's Hospital, uses constraint-induced movement to help children learn how to use their affected limb. Holland is grateful every time Whiskey stops by the camp.
"'Dog Days of Summer' at Helping Kids with Hemiplegia Camp is a favorite day because of the therapy dogs like Whiskey that come and visit," says Holland. "Whiskey helps the children use their weaker arm by holding and guiding her with her leash, eating a treat from a child's hand, and allowing the children to pet her fur."
For Kreda and Parker, who are firm believers in second chances in life, it's fitting that the dog they rescued is helping others in need.
"No matter what happens, life continues," says Kreda. "It doesn't mean life is going to be bad. What Whiskey has shown us, both through her own experience and by helping others, is that you can always find a new path."

For growing inside architects and home style devotees a chaise lounge is an absolute necessity have bit of extravagance furniture that looks smooth and refined in any inside. Chaise lounges are broadened upholstered seats which take after sofas yet with open finishes for a progressively laid back seating knowledge. Chaise lounges are of eighteenth century French starting point however have developed through the ages to arrive in an assortment of shapes and styles to coordinate the more contemporary inside. Chaise can be upholstered in the texture based on your personal preference and are an incredible expansion to your home goods conspire.
A chaise is regularly viewed as an especially first class or lavish thing of furniture that isn't on the rundown of fundamental home outfitting things. Anyway they have developed for present day use from the run of the mill picture of lavishness into an utilitarian and flexible thing of furniture that can be joined into any style of inside. Chaise may be utilized as chairs that accompany footstalls, twofold chairs which can oblige two individuals or couch like pieces that can give extra space and solace to the two occupants and visitors.

New lead conversion rate
Marketo Web Retargeting empowers Sisense to increase conversion 13X while reducing cost per conversion 10X.
Delivering targeted ads based on industry and buying cycle stage boosts the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and turns new leads into paying customers faster.
Sisense Inc.'s comprehensive solution for preparing, analyzing, and visualizing large, disparate datasets simplifies business analytics for complex data. Customers leverage Sisense solutions to produce actionable business intelligence in days instead of months. Business users and analysts can then freely explore the data without relying on a patchwork of tools or extensive IT assistance. While Galia Nedvedovich, Senior Marketing Manager at Sisense, and her team were using Google remarketing to show digital ads to people who have visited their website and bring them back for return visits, they were seeking ways to improve their ad retargeting capabilities and boost campaign results. That's when they decided to implement Marketo Web Retargeting. The result: personalized retargeting is now driving conversion rates up and costs down.
From generic to targeted messaging
In the past, Galia and her team found that their messaging using Google remarketing capabilities was too generic to achieve the kind of conversion rates they were looking for. Marketo Web Retargeting changed the game, enabling them to serve up personalized ad banner across the web with messaging to known leads based on a combination of lead data and anonymous visitor data. By combining Marketo with Google AdWords, the team is now able to advertise to:
The team built vertical type, visitor type, and known lead segments in Marketo and identified buying cycle stages, including new lead, marketing-qualified lead, and opportunity. An important goal was to expedite lead flow through the sales cycle by engaging with prospects on every channel until they generated revenue, becoming a "won" opportunity and a new customer. Marketers, like Galia, can synchronize their efforts with Marketo nurture streams and emails to audiences at different stages in the sales cycle.
To accomplish this, Galia segmented website visitors based on known lead data and buying cycle stage and then appended this data from Marketo into Google remarketing. As a result, she delivered targeted, personalized remarketing ads to the right audiences, engaging them in an ongoing conversation throughout the buying journey.
For example, Sisense segmented the audience based on buying stage. To target early stage buyers, Galia targeted an ad to the new leads segment that featured an offer to attend a BI Trends webinar with top BI leaders to educate people at this early stage of the journey.
BI trends webinar offer ad for new prospects.
To target prospects in a later buying stage - for example, a marketing-qualified lead or opportunity - Sisense featured an ad promoting a product comparison report for download illustrating Sisense advantages over competing solutions.
Product comparison ad targeting marketing-qualified leads, opportunities, and others in later stages of the buying journey
Higher Conversion, Lower Costs
Since adding personalized ad retargeting using Marketo Web Retargeting, Sisense has boosted the conversion rate goals by 13 times. New leads in the early stage of the buyer journey show a conversion rate as high as 40% along with much higher engagement in response to the personalized, highly relevant ads. Higher conversion rates have reduced spend per lead, decreasing cost per conversion 10 times.

Indecent Exposure in Minnesota
Indecent Exposure is a serious crime, but the law on Indecent Exposure in Minnesota is vague and possibly overbroad. Similar acts may be considered both legal and illegal, depending on the circumstances. This is why it is critical to get an Indecent Exposure attorney. Let's take a look at the statute:
A person who commits any of the following acts in any public place, or in any place where others are present, is guilty of a misdemeanor:
(1) willfully and lewdly exposes the person's body, or the private parts thereof;
(2) procures another to expose private parts; or
(3) engages in any open or gross lewdness or lascivious behavior, or any public indecency other than behavior specified in this subdivision. Minn. Stat. Sec. 617.23, subd. 1.
The charge is enhanced to a gross misdemeanor for repeat offenders and for any of the above conduct committed in the presence of anyone under the age of 16. Felony charges occur when the above conduct, done in the presence of a minor, is repeated, or is done by somebody with a previous 5th degree sexual conduct conviction, or is conducted in such a way that the exposed person intentionally confines or restricts the movement of another person.
Indecent Exposure charges can result in serious penalties. Even a misdemeanor conviction can require fines up to $1,000 and/or jail time. Further, the conviction will appear on background checks. Needless to say, in today's competitive job marketplace, this type of record is considered a major red flag by perspective employers.
A felony conviction can result in fines as high as $10,000 or a prison sentence up to five years. On top of this, felony conviction requires you to register as a sex offender. To avoid these highly stigmatized penalties, it is necessary to enlist an attorney to mitigate or even acquit you of the charges put against you.
There are a number of ways that an experienced Indecent Exposure attorney will be able to defend you. For example, we might cite victim consent, lack of intent (accidental exposure), bring forth positive character evidence, and attack the admissibility of any evidence that was obtained by arresting officers. Additionally, we know the best way to negotiate with individual judges and prosecutors to get you the best deal possible, should a plea be appropriate. The bottom line is that you need our counsel and expertise to fight for you through this challenging time.
