NCAA develops game-changing enterprise software system
You're familiar with the NCAA. National Collegiate Athletic Association tournaments in multiple sports are some of the most-watched television events every year, particularly the Men's Final Four basketball championship in the spring. You may have even visited the Hall of Champions museum at White River State Park in Indianapolis next door to the NCAA national headquarters, which relocated to the city in 1999.
Lesser known are the technological achievements of the NCAA. Beginning in 2014, at the same time that they were migrating the entire organization to the cloud, they also launched one of the most ambitious data management and software development projects the organization had ever conceived. The resulting Institution Performance Program, or IPP for short, is a game-changer for intercollegiate athletics.
"What our tech team here in Indianapolis has done in collaboration with our Academic and Membership Affairs department and the membership itself, is create an enterprise software system that's easy to use and invaluable for strategic insights and strategic planning."
Development of the Institution Performance Program landed the NCAA on InformationWeek's annual "InformationWeek Elite 100," a list of companies the magazine editors rank as America's most innovative and imaginative users of business technology.
The Case for an Enterprise Software System
The IPP is a big idea that originally started as a white paper by Troy Arthur, director of academic and membership affairs.
Arthur's white paper posited that the continuous improvement accreditation model common in engineering fields could be applied to intercollegiate athletics, making the data collection process more efficient and effective, and a single source of truth enterprise system would offer a level of access to data never-before seen in intercollegiate athletics.
Imagine a campus-wide census conducted by each of the NCAA's 1,100 member universities and you'll have a good start for understanding the scope of information included in the Institution Performance Program (IPP).
Fortunately, they didn't have to start from scratch — the NCAA had about 20 years of existing data living within its different internal systems — but the challenge of bringing all of this vital information into an intuitive and secure enterprise system that their member universities would actually use was just as challenging for the tech team as it sounds.
During an 18-month discovery and planning period, NCAA personnel traveled across the country collecting feedback from constituents at all levels, which helped the development team zero in on those data sets and reports most desired by the membership. While the IPP launched initially with Division I data only in 2015, it was quickly scaled up to include Division II and Division III data in 2016.
Membership Uses IPP in Unexpected Ways
Personnel from university presidents and chancellors to athletic directors, and senior leadership like CFOs use the IPP platform to access information such as:
- Financial data (expenses and revenue and everything in between)
- Academic data (GPA, course load, etc.)
- Continuing education data (student athlete degree progress and post-graduate placement)
- Demographic data (race and gender for the entire student body and student athlete population).
Approximately 36 standardized reports are available with up to 15 subset reports for each of the aforementioned data categories. Users may also create reports based on their conference peers or on customized cohort groups they choose themselves.
For example, an athletic director may want to benchmark her own school's student athlete recruitment spending, coaches salaries, or marketing and promotions budget against all other schools in the conference, or she may want to see data from only public institutions, only private institutions, or a customized combination of competitive universities.

Schools are using this one-stop-shop information source to drive their strategic or operational plans and to affect change at their institutions now as opposed to searching multiple databases and systems for previously available data that was years old at best or simply anecdotal. IPP has also proven to be an invaluable resource for reporting the most compelling data to trustees, university leadership and faculty.
The IPP Performance and Tech Stack
"Bringing IPP to life was a giant joint exercise marshalling resources from AMA (Academic and Membership Affairs, IT, and membership, including an IPP committee we formed with key university leaders," CIO Williams said. "From the genesis to the product development and technical execution, IPP was built in Indianapolis at the NCAA and that's something we're very proud of, in addition to the exceptional feedback and high adoption rate."
After just nine months of availability among Division I schools (350 sites), IPP had more than a 90% adoption rate with between one and 15 users per school. "That's a remarkable adoption rate for a non-B2B enterprise system that's completely voluntary," said Williams. Member universities are not required to to use the system for compliance or regulatory purposes, so Williams attributes the high adoption rate to the usefulness of the platform and its user-friendly design.
The specific tech stack for NCAA's Institution Performance Program (IPP) includes:
- Ruby on Rails (application writing)
- Oracle (database storage)
- User Interface
- Carousels
- jQuery Elements (for visual appeal)
- Yamm Megamenu (navigation)
- Bootstrap (device presentation)
- YAMM! Megamenu (navigation)
- Glyphicons
NCAA employs 514 people in Indianapolis including 35 full-time IT staff plus an on site third-party service desk and a handful of contractors.

Trump tariffs on hold after Mexico deal
President Donald Trump has put on hold his plan to begin imposing tariffs on Mexico on Monday, saying the United States ally will take "strong measures" to reduce the flow of Central American migrants into their northern neighbour.
But the deal he announced Friday night, after returning from a trip to Europe, falls short of some of the dramatic overhauls pushed for by his administration.
A joint declaration released by the State Department said the US "will immediately expand" a programme that returns asylum-seekers, while their claims are under review, to Mexico after they have crossed the US-Mexico border. Mexico will "offer jobs, healthcare and education" to those people, according to the agreement.
Mexico has agreed, it said, to "unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration", including the deployment of the Mexican National Guard throughout the country, especially on its southern border with Guatemala.
Trump put the number of troops at 6,000, and said in a tweet Saturday, "Mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the United States and Mexico!"
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Twitter, "Thanks to the support of all Mexicans, the imposition of tariffs on Mexican products exported to the USA has been avoided." He called for a gathering Saturday to celebrate in Tijuana.
Yet House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump's "threats and temper tantrums are no way to negotiate foreign policy", especially with "our close friend".
The State Department said Mexico is taking "decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organisations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks".
The agreement removes, for now, the threat of trade penalties that had elicited dire warnings from members of Trump's own party about the potential economic damage, higher consumer prices and an imperiled update to a North American trade deal.
Mexico's Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said he thought the deal struck "a fair balance" because the US "had more drastic proposals and measures at the start".
But Leticia Calderón Cheluis, a migration expert at the Mora Institute in Mexico City, said the agreement is essentially a series of compromises solely by Mexico, which she said committed to "a double clamp at both borders".
Trump used social media to say he was "pleased to inform you" about the deal with Mexico and said the threatened tariffs "are hereby indefinitely suspended". He cited Mexico's commitment to "strong measures" intended "to greatly reduce, or eliminate" illegal immigration from Mexico.
It was a sharp reversal, given that earlier Friday, his spokeswoman Sarah Sanders had told reporters: "Our position has not changed. The tariffs are going forward as of Monday."

QUESTION: How Long Before Hillary's New ENEMY, Julian Assange, Has A 'Mysterious ACCIDENT?'
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange now has a big target on his back after dropping multiple bombshells about Hillary and the DNC — and he isn't done just yet.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said that Wikileaks have obtained information that, when released soon, will guarantee a Hillary Clinton indictment.
During a recent interview with ITV, Assange said his next release will "provide enough evidence" to see Hillary arrested.
Silenceisconsent.net reports:
WikiLeaks has already published 30,322 emails from Clinton's private email server, spanning from June 30, 2010 to August 12, 2014. While Assange didn't specify what exactly was in the emails, he did tell ITV that WikiLeaks had "accumulated a lot of material about Hillary Clinton, which could proceed to an indictment."
Assange hinted that the emails slated for publication contain additional information about the Clinton Foundation. He also reminded ITV's Robert Peston that previously released emails contained one damning piece of communication from Clinton, instructing a staffer to remove the classification settings from an official State Department communication and send it through a "nonsecure" channel.

Coronavirus (Covid-2019) Outbreak
(XUZHOU, China, Feb. 17, 2020 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) In response to the recent novel coronavirus outbreak, over 329 XCMG (SZ:000425) products including cranes, excavators, road rollers, loaders and concrete machines have been dispatched to facilitate the construction of multiple hospitals and emergency wards in eight cities across China, including the Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals in Wuhan, completed on February 3 and 6 respectively.
As of January 31, a total of 83 XCMG products took part in the construction of Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals where operators worked around the clock to construct the makeshift field hospital as quickly and safely as possible. The new facilities will provide 2,600 beds for treating patients in severe and critical condition.
"Building a hospital in 10 days is a great undertaking for construction machinery companies in terms of overall coordination ability and teamwork. The honor of this record achievement belongs to each individual who contributed so much during this difficult time," said Wang Min, Chairman of XCMG.
During the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital, XCMG monitored the equipment closely via its "Hanyun" software platform, accumulating more than 2,199 working hours as of February 3.
The "Hanyun" platform includes a thermal screening system for the prevention and control of the epidemic, which can monitor and upload the body temperature of passersby in transportation hubs, hospitals, schools and companies to reduce cross-infection and improve screening efficiency.
On January 27, as the president company of Assocacao Brasileira De Empresas Chinesas (ABEC, Brazilian Association of Chinese Companies), XCMG encouraged all member companies to participate in the fight against the epidemic. The same night, XCMG Brazil employees contributed actively to purchase 10,000 medical supply items including masks and protective suits that have been shipped to Wuhan.
Meanwhile, in Beijing, 24 XCMG products started work on the expansion and renovation of Xiaotangshan Hospital, formerly used to quarantine SARS patients.
In February, XCMG also joined the construction of emergency hospitals in Xuzhou, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Tian Jin, Zhuhai etc.
To provide further support, XCMG announced a donation of 5.075 million yuan (USD 726,338) to support the fight against the epidemic. The company also sourced more than 1,200,000 items of medical equipment, including surgical masks, N95 respirators, protective suits from 23 countries and regions worldwide.

13 Women You Didn't Realize Were Running Your Favorite Companies
It's true that women only make up 5 percent of the CEOs leading Fortune 500 companies, but many of the leaders of both beloved and cutting-edge brands are female, thanks in part to a boom in female entrepreneurs.
Well-established companies including Hershey and newer brand powerhouses like Away luggage both have women in the top spot, and they're not the only major companies with female CEOs.
Jodi Berg — Vitamix
Jodi Berg has served as president and CEO of Vitamix since 2009. The company was founded by her grandfather nearly 100 years ago, and she says she is continuing his mission to help people understand the power of whole foods.
"Times have changed, but that's still the heart of what we do," Berg wrote on LinkedIn. "Wholesome living isn't just a trend for our family, or our company. It's who we are. That's why I'm so passionate about ensuring that every choice we make, every process we institute, every product we create, helps us achieve our mission: to create relationships for life by designing, developing and producing the world's best performing and most reliable blending solutions."
Michele Buck — Hershey's
Michele Buck is Hershey's first female CEO, and she got the top spot in March 2017, Fortune reported. Before becoming CEO, Buck worked at the company for 12 years and worked at Kraft for 17 years prior to that.
"The times I learned the most and developed the most are when I took those opportunities that were outside my wheelhouse," she told the magazine. "I grew so much as an individual and learned that I had something in me that I didn't realize before."
Michelle Gass — Kohl's
Michelle Gass is one of the most successful women in business. She led Kohl's to one of the best holiday seasons of 2017, Fortune reported. Since becoming the retailer's CEO, Gass has pioneered partnerships with Under Armour and Amazon, and revamped Kohl's customer loyalty program.
Julia Hartz — Eventbrite
In addition to being CEO, Julia Hartz is also one of Eventbrite's co-founders. Under her leadership, the ticketing and event technology platform has expanded to 170 countries.
Tyler Haney — Outdoor Voices
Outdoor Voices founder and CEO Tyler Haney originally started her activewear line as part of her degree program at the Parsons School of Design, Forbes reported. Her company has since received $56 million in venture backing from investors that include Google Ventures, ABC News reported.
Steph Korey — Away
Before co-founding the Away luggage brand with Jen Rubio, CEO Steph Korey worked at two different startups: Warby Parker and Casper. She told CBNC her experiences at these companies taught her invaluable lessons about how to run her own company — even more so than her MBA from Columbia Business School.
"Each one was helpful in different ways," she said. But "if I had to pick between the two, you always learn more from on-the-job experience."
Away has raised $81 million in investor funding.
Rosie O'Neill — Sugarfina
Co-founder and co-CEO of Sugarfina Rosie O'Neill got the idea to launch the boutique candy shop for adults after watching "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" on a date with fellow founder, and now fiancé, Josh Resnick.
"We launched the company thinking it was going to be a hobby business, so we weren't putting too much pressure on ourselves," she said. "We were both surprised by how quickly it took off — something that was supposed to be a casual weekend project suddenly became a 100-hour-a-week madhouse that took over our lives… but in a good way."
Barbara Rentler — Ross Stores
Ross stores have seen impressive growth under Barbara Rentler's leadership. According to Fortune, in 2017, profits for the discount retailer increased 22 percent to $1.4 billion, and sales went up 10 percent, breaking the $14 billion revenue mark for the first time.
Katherine Ryder — Maven
Katherine Ryder founded Maven, a digital clinic for women, to fill a gap in the market after noting that many healthcare giants don't have women running the companies.
"Approximately 80 percent of healthcare decisions are made by women, who commonly guide care not just for themselves, but also for their children and families. Likewise, the majority of healthcare jobs — including doctors, nurses and technicians — are held by women. Given this, it's worth a double-take that the system is run almost entirely by men," she wrote in a blog for Time. "I've seen firsthand how gender imbalance in healthcare boardrooms negatively affects care for women — and also what we can do to change things."
Lynsi Snyder — In-N-Out
At just 36 years old, Lynsi Synder is worth $3 billion, according to Forbes. The In-N-Out president was the youngest woman to appear on the 2018 Forbes 400 list. Synder took over the family business in 2010 and believes consistency has been the key to the burger chain's success.
"It's not [about] adding new products. Or thinking of the next bacon-wrapped this or that. We're making the same burger, the same fry," she told Forbes. "We're really picky and strategic. We're not going to compromise."
Click to see how much In-N-Out really pays its employees — it's more than you think.
Danielle Weisberg and Carly Zakin — theSkimm
Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, co-founders of the daily newsletter theSkimm, have raised $28 million since 2012, Recode reported. "Our goal is to make news a lifestyle brand," Zakin told Forbes.
Colleen Wegman — Wegmans Food Markets
Colleen Wegman is the president and CEO of the family-owned Wegmans supermarket chain, which dates back to 1916. The company has 98 locations and reached $8.7 billion in annual sales in 2017. All in all, Wegman's family is worth $4 billion, according to Forbes.

Remembering Japanese internment with former Sun reporter Gene Oishi
Seventy-five years ago, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, sending nearly 120,000 Japanese and U.S. citizens to internment camps around the United States. One was former Baltimore Sun reporter Gene Oishi, then 8 years old.
Gene Oishi grew up in Guadalupe, Calif., his life split between two cultures: Japanese and American. He and his friends spoke Japanese and English. They went to see both Japanese movies and Hollywood movies at the local theater. Every year his family celebrated the Emperor's birthday, shouting "Bonsai!"
His bi-cultural existence was threatened by the looming onset of war. He remembers his mother reading about the possibility in a Japanese magazine she had sent from abroad.
"I recall my mother whispered to herself, 'I hope it never happens.' I said 'What?'"
She evaded for a minute before admitting that she was afraid a war would soon break out between Japan and America.
To a Japanese-American kid like Oishi, the prospect was "absolute horror."
"The world was split apart for me," he said.
"'Get 'Em Out—And Quickly,' Californians Say of Japs," ran a headline in The Baltimore Sun on March 16, 1942. Japanese people, it seemed, were situated all around areas of strategic military importance. It could just be coincidence, the paper acknowledged. But a grand Japanese conspiracy seemed more likely, given the anti-Japanese hysteria of the time.
One of those persons deemed a threat was Gene Oishi's father, a farmer who'd come to America in 1903, trying to make some money. "He was something of a big shot in the Japanese community," Oishi said. His status made him a threat in the eyes of the FBI, which kept a close eye on him.
He was arrested at 2 a.m. on the same day as the Pearl Harbor attack.
Later investigations have shown that the U.S. lacked any intelligence of Japanese espionage. There was no reason to believe that Oishi's father, or any of the 120,000 Japanese people sent to internment camps during World War II, posed a threat to the United States. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan acknowledged it was a mistake; survivors were paid $20,000 in reparations to help compensate for their financial losses decades earlier.
"That's what war does to people's thinking," Oishi, 83, said over the phone from his home in Mount Washington.
A few months later came internment. "We used to call it 'the evacuation,'" Oishi said. "That sort of sounds like it was being done for our own good."
The family sold their belongings. The piano. The washing machine. They bought hiking boots and backpacks and duffel bags. Internees were limited to what the could carry; at home, the children practiced with the backpacks, testing their abilities. Oishi's brother brought an illicit radio. Dentists brought medical equipment, and others brought tools that would eventually prove useful in the camps.
Oishi was 8 when he got to his first camp, 9 when they got to the permanent camp where he and his mother spent the next three years. (His father eventually was released from prison and allowed to join the family).
Oishi only later realized that the adults of his parents' generation believed they were being sent to extermination camps, not internment camps – that they would be left in the desert to die.
"Their children, the American citizens thought no, such a thing couldn't happen in America," Oishi said. "We had learned about the Constitution and what a good country this is."
"When I think about it, I must have sensed my mother's fear." Her hair – once shiny, raven black – turned white, seemingly overnight to her young son. Oishi thinks perhaps in reality, she just stopped dyeing it at the camp.
At the camp, each family had one room to live in. It was barely furnished, but internees made furniture with lumber found on the grounds. "Some very nice furniture was made," he recalls.
"After everything settled down, the biggest problem was boredom," he said. And, for a time, hunger. Food was scarce for the first year of internment, until the older American citizens were allowed to leave, so long as they pledged allegiance to the United States. Many volunteered for the Army after that. Others were drafted.
"If you ask a lot of people of my generation they will say as I said: 'The camp wasn't so bad, I had a good time there,'" Oishi said. "By the middle of the second year, we were growing our own food. The desert where we went could be very beautiful and the school was organized so they had sporting events — we played football and baseball. I don't recall learning much."
"When it stopped being fun was when the war ended and we were supposed to go back to our homes," he said. There had been reports of people shooting at Japanese people in their homes. "I think we were very much worried about how we would be received. … That was a very scary time when the war ended and the camps were closed and they gave us each $25," he said.
When his family returned home from the desert, vagrants had taken it over. There was food rotting, and a dead cat being eaten by maggots.
"The toilets were filthy, there were dried feces under the bathtub," Oishi said. "It took us the whole summer to clean up the house, to paint it and make it livable." His parents, once prosperous, had no source of income and pleaded for work with a labor gang.
Oishi eventually went to college and became a reporter, working for The Baltimore Sun. His writing brought him back in touch with an experience he'd long left buried.
In the 1980s, he took a month off from The Sun to write a freelance story for National Geographic about his experience in the internment camp. Oishi said National Geographic wanted a feel-good, happy story about the plucky Japanese immigrants who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps.
"They wanted this story of the model minority," Oishi said. "The more people I talked to, the more I sort of explored my own feelings. I just couldn't write this happy story." He gave them what he felt was a more honest story.
National Geographic, in turn, chose not to publish the piece but paid Oishi $4,000. (The story eventually ran in The New York Times).
He eventually set out to write about his experiences in the camp. "I didn't want it to be a pity book," he said. "There's much more to the Japanese experience. The more I got into writing about history, I slowly understood how many wells of pain that resided in me at one point."
Oishi was having back pain on Sunday, but said he became so engrossed telling his story he forgot it was hurting.

"Low-fat diets 'better than cutting carbs' for weight loss," says BBC News. But wait, the Mail Online says: "Low-carb 'is best for weight loss". Confused?
Traditionally, weight-loss diets were based on the concept of eating a low-fat diet. But in recent years the idea of low or no carbohydrate diets, such as the Atkins diet, have become popular.
A new diet lab rigorously enforced either a low-carbohydrate or low-fat diet for 19 obese men and women over six days. The six-day low-carb diet led to more weight loss than a low-fat diet, but the low-fat diet looked more likely to lead to fat loss, which is generally better for your health. And losing fat tissue is generally better for your health. This means both the BBC and Mail Online are technically correct.
The study was small, short term, and the diets were quite extreme. This makes them less relevant to most people's everyday life or efforts to lose weight. They aren't convincing enough to settle the low-carb versus low-fat diet debate.
But you could argue the whole low-fat versus low-carb debate is a needlessly overcomplicated distraction from what should be four simple words of advice – eat less, exercise more.
The principle of combining physical activity with reduced calorie consumption is at the core of the NHS Choices weight loss plan – a sustainable way to lose weight without relying on any gimmicks.
The study was carried out by researchers from the US National Institutes of Health and was funded by the same organisation.
It was published in the peer-reviewed science journal Cell Metabolism on an open-access basis, so it is free to read online or download as a PDF (PDF, 1.7Mb).
The BBC and Mail Online ended up with opposite headlines based on the same study. The BBC went with "Low-fat diets 'better than cutting carbs' for weight loss", while the Mail Online said that, "Low-carb 'is best' for weight loss".
This confusion is understandable. The low-fat diet led to more fat loss – the outcome the study was most interested in – but the low-carb diet led to more weight loss overall.
The researchers argue fat loss was more important to the obese people in this study for long-term weight loss. This implies the weight loss achieved in the low-carb diet was not down to fat loss. Although this wasn't stated in the study, you can lose weight via losses in muscle and water.
Both the BBC and the Mail carry a useful quote from an independent expert, Professor Susan Jebb, who rightly says: "The best diet for weight loss is the diet you can stick to". So outside of the highly restricted diet lab, the bigger issue of weight loss is how to stick to a diet in the long term.
This human laboratory study looked at the way two short-term diets – one low in fat, one low in carbohydrates – affected a person's metabolism and any weight loss.
Your body gets energy from two main sources: by burning fat and carbohydrate. Both are regulated by the hormone insulin. Popular weight-loss diets often advise cutting down either fat or carbohydrates, but there is debate about which works best.
This study wasn't focused on weight loss, but was geared up to investigate how diet influences how the body burns fat and carbohydrate. The researchers highlighted past randomised control trials showing greater short-term weight loss in obese patients on low-carb diets.
But they say there are problems with these studies, meaning we don't know if they help you lose weight by changing your metabolism for the better – lowering insulin levels and causing more fat burning and energy expended as a whole – or simply make you eat less overall.
Low-carb diets can be higher in protein and fat, which are filling, making you eat less. This wasn't the case in this study.
The study confined 19 obese adults (9 men, 10 women) to a "metabolic ward", or diet lab, for two two-week periods while on low-fat or low-carb diets. While in the diet labs, researchers meticulously monitored and restricted their diets, energy intake and expenditure, and used a host of biological measures to establish whether they were burning fat or carbohydrates as their source of energy.
Each person spent five days in the diet lab on an energy-balanced diet (50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, 15% protein) before being randomly assigned to a diet that slashed their calorie intake by 30% (around 800 calories a day lower) for a further six days. This was achieved either through a 60% reduction in carbs (low-carb diet) or an 85% reduction in fat (low-fat diet).
Throughout the six days they had no access to additional food or drink, and even meetings with visitors were watched by nurses or researchers to catch any potential cheating.
After a two- to four-week washout period where they could eat what they liked, volunteers were readmitted to try the other diet. This repeated the five-day balanced diet followed by the alternate six-day low-fat or low-carb diet.
Some physical activity was controlled – they all had to do 60 minutes of walking on a treadmill each day – and the rest was monitored using portable activity monitors worn on the hip.
The study excluded those who had large weight change (more than 5kg) in the past six months, had diabetes, were menopausal, were pregnant or breastfeeding, or had mobility problems.
Two men dropped out of the study after the first stint on the low-carb diet, so did not contribute data to the subsequent low-fat diet part of the study.
Both diets led to weight loss over the six days, but those on the low-carb diet lost significantly more. After six days the low-carb group had lost about 1.85kg on average compared with around 1.3kg on the low-fat diet, around a half kilo difference in just six days.
The low-carb diet led to significant changes in metabolic fuel selection. Insulin levels dropped, which lowered carbohydrate burning by around 500 calories a day and increased fat burning by around 400 calories a day.
"Remarkably", as the researchers put it, fat burning didn't change fuel selection, both fat and carb burning remained unchanged.
That said, the low-fat diet resulted in a suggestion that more fat was being lost compared with the low-carb diet, despite being equivalent in calories. This short-term fat loss was measured as the difference between the amount of fat taken in and the amount of fat burnt (as measured by biological testing) in the diet-lab – this isn't the usual way. The normal measurements, percentage body fat or fat mass, didn't change between the groups. The authors used the short-term measure because the study was too short to influence body fat percentage or fat mass.
The team built a mathematical model to predict changes in metabolism and body weight before the study was conducted. They adapted the model using the data collected and predicted what would happen in the future. The model accurately predicted the results of the short-term diets and predicted small long-term differences in body fat.
The researchers say that, "Calorie for calorie, restriction of dietary fat led to greater body fat loss than restriction of dietary carbohydrate in adults with obesity. This occurred despite the fact that only the carbohydrate-restricted diet led to decreased insulin secretion and a substantial sustained increase in net fat oxidation compared to the baseline energy-balanced diet."
They added: "We can definitively reject the claim that carbohydrate restriction is required for body fat loss", saying that, "Fat loss is a more important goal than weight loss in the treatment of obesity" and that outside of the highly controlled diet lab "diet adherence is likely the most important determinant of body fat loss".
This well-designed diet lab study showed that a six-day low-carbohydrate diet affects a person's metabolism far more than a low-fat diet. The low-carb diet led to more fat burning and overall energy expenditure via lower insulin levels, whereas the low-fat diet didn't alter fat or carb-burning proportions, but led to more fat loss.
The study was well designed and rigorous, but included only 19 people and lasted only a few weeks. This is a small number of people, and a short amount of time, on which to base any generalisations about most people. The results aren't convincing enough to settle the low-carb versus low-fat diet debate.
The diets were pretty extreme and rigorously enforced under diet lab supervision. Sticking to a diet that cuts energy intake by a third, including fat intake by 85%, would be a big challenge for people outside of the diet lab.
But these large changes were necessary to elicit a measureable effect in the short time the researchers had available – they weren't meant to be directly applicable to outside life. Smaller changes over the long term might work equally well, something the researchers' mathematical modelling attempted to predict.
The researchers did make the point that the low-carb diet they were investigating wasn't a low-carb diet in the traditional sense. They kept carbs at 140g a day, when traditional low-carb diets are said to contain less than 50g per day.
But to do this they would have had to increase fat and protein intake to balance out calorie intake, which they didn't want to do as they wanted to look at the sole effect of reducing carbs.
This again highlights that making overall conclusions on the effects of low-fat or low-carb diets in general is not possible outside the strictly controlled and specific dietary composition used in this study.
Professor Susan Jebb, Professor of Diet and Population Health at the University of Oxford, hits the nail on the head, saying: "The real challenge for science is not the nutritional composition of the diet, but the behavioural strategies to promote adherence.
"All diets 'work' if you stick to an eating plan that cuts calories, whether from fat or carbohydrate, but sticking to a diet is easier said than done, especially given the prolonged time it takes to lose weight."
Starchy foods high in carbohydrate should make up around one-third of everything we eat. This means we should base our meals on these foods. Read more about a balanced diet.

An early morning suicide bomb attack by suspected Boko Haram member at Central Mosque, Dalori quarters, Maiduguri left one dead.
The deceased, One Salihu Ali, a graduate of the department of Continuing Education, University of Maiduguri, was said to be checking people entering the mosque to pray, but met his death when a lone suicide bomber approached him and detonated the improvised explosive device, IEDs.
Residents of the area who spoke to newsmen prayed God to grant him rest.
A resident, Malam Abdullahi Sani said, Salihu Ali was waiting to go for his National Youth Service (NYSC), and got engaged working with the civil JTF to assists in ensuring safety for Muslim faithful. He said Ali was involved in checking infiltration by the Boko Haram following recent determination by the sect to unleash terror in Maiduguri.
According to Sani, " We usually have some people guarding the place of worship each time there is call for prayers. Some of us will go in and pray while others will watch and when those who went in to pray were done, they would come out to stand in for others to go in and pray. It is very unfortunate that, it turned out that this suicide bomber came and attacked, killing this young man," he lamented.

Products featured here are selected for review by ANDREW EALES
Find out more: ABOUT PIANODAO REVIEWS
Faber Music have been producing a steady flow of printed compilations of piano music for some time, with a focus on bringing together pieces from films, arrangements of hit songs, and popular classical favourites.
Latest addition, Ultimate Piano Solos boasts "over 50 bestsellers" and offers an appealing selection of mainstream favourites that most people will instantly recognise. Keenly priced at just £15.99 it offers excellent value, and is perhaps the ideal collection for the enthusiastic player at around Grade 5 level who wants to grow their repertoire of popular favourites.
The Publication
The presentation here is very similar to Faber Music's previous The Ultimate Songlist and Ultimate Easy Piano Songlist. Most of my comments about the latter, in my review here, equally apply to Ultimate Piano Solos – this is an attractive and well-presented collection, with glossy soft covers and fairly sturdy binding.
Within, the 176 black-and-white pages include a contents page, and beyond that just the music itself. The notation has a clean well-spaced presentation, and pieces range from a single page to (in a couple of cases) nine.
As a general rule fingering isn't included, although in a few pieces there are limited suggestions, perhaps carried over from other Faber Music editions.
The Contents
Recovering from the shock of seeing the names Ed Sheeran and J.S.Bach rubbing shoulders on the front cover, the number one question many will have is, "what exactly is in this collection?"
So here is the full contents list:
- 7 Years (Lukas Graham)
- Allegro K.545 (Mozart)
- Alone in Kyoto (Air)
- Asos Model Crush (dné)
- Ambre (Nils Frahm)

- The Christmas Song (Nat King Cole)
- The Cider House Rules (Rachel Portman)
- Cruella de Vil (Melville A. Leven)
- Dive (Ed Sheeran)
- Davy Jones Theme (Hans Zimmer)
- The Entertainer (Joplin)

- Variations on the Kanon (George Winston)
- Vladimir's Blues (Max Richter)
- Tifa's Theme (Nobuo Uematsu)
- What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
- A Whiter Shade of Pale (Procol Harum)
- When I Fall In Love (Nat King Cole)
- Wings (Birdy)
This eyebrow-raising selection could no doubt launch a thousand dinner-party conversations, but there's certainly plenty here to excite the pianist who simply enjoys sitting at the instrument and dipping into a pool of popular piano tunes.
Those who previously enjoyed The Ultimate Easy Piano Songlist will note some overlap of titles, so it's worth advising that the arrangements here are more difficult than those in that collection.
On the other hand, this book doesn't include any song lyrics.
This is another collection from Faber which essentially sells itself – even if you want just a few of the included pieces, you'll not be disappointed.
Teenagers will find plenty here to occupy them for some time, while more advanced players will enjoy reading through and playing these pieces for lighter enjoyment.
Either way, Ultimate Piano Solos is a pleasurable and well-judged diversion, offering many hours of piano-playing enjoyment. So if you are tempted, go ahead and treat yourself!

Pahoittelut, tuotetta ei ole tällä hetkellä varastossa.
The filler for every solution
Continual physico-chemical studies on cross-linking have resulted in the synthesis of all the experience gained to date, resulting in the creation and development of an ingenious product that incorporates all the benefits desired by medical staff and patients, i.e. safe, natural, long-lasting and comfortable implants, in a single solution: for this reason Jalor Style, the polyvalent filler for all types of cosmetic correction, was formulated.
Jalor Style:
– treats all types of superficial and medium-depth wrinkles;
– remodels the lip contours and increases lip volume.
The latest advances in the field have shown that polyvalent fillers are, currently, the best possible upgrade but Jalor Style special features make it a unique product:
- non-animal origin: sodium hyaluronate synthesised by bio-fermentation;
- dual-action, high-concentration filler: 23mg/1ml of cross-linked hyaluronic acid with bio-stimulating free hyaluronic acid sultra high molecular weight product (3 million Daltons): this characteristic, together with cross-linkage, allows us to increase the resistance to degradation by hyaluronidases to a maximum and thus maximise the duration of the product in the tissue;
- cross-linking with butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE), the cross-linking agent universally recognised as the least toxic of all, which ensures that the risk of allergies is minimal;
- single-phase formula: all the products in the Jalor Style range are single-phase and therefore contain no particles, which ensures the homoegeneity of the gel.

Adam Smith
Wealth of Nations
Buy Now
With an Introduction by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Ontario, Canada.
Adam Smith (1723-1790) was one of the brightest stars of the eighteenth-century Scottish Enlightenment. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations was his most important book. First published in London in March 1776, it had been eagerly anticipated by Smith's contemporaries and became an immediate bestseller. That edition sold out quickly and others followed.
Today, Smith's Wealth of Nations rightfully claims a place in the Western intellectual canon. It is the first book of modern political economy, and still provides the foundation for the study of that discipline. But it is much more than that. Along with important discussions of economics and political theory, Smith mixed plain common sense with large measures of history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and much else. Few texts remind us so clearly that the Enlightenment was very much a lived experience, a concern with improving the human condition in practical ways for real people. A masterpiece by any measure, Wealth of Nations remains a classic of world literature to be usefully enjoyed by readers today.
***The cover of the first edition states, incorrectly, that this is an abridged edition. In fact the text is complete, and the cover was corrected on the next reprint.***

Forgotten Amendments to the Canadian Constitution
Click here to view the original document (PDF).
It may come as a surprise to some students of the Canadian
constitution to learn that one paragraph of the preamble and no less
than eight sections of the original B.N.A. Act (1867) have been
totally repealed, while three other sections have been partially
repealed. These changes are quite apart from those made by the later
B.N.A. Acts of 1871, 1875, 1886, 1907, 1915, 1916, 1930 and 1940, which
are usually considered to be the formal amendments to the constitution,
and quite aprt from any of the other statutes relating to Canadian
affairs which mr. H. McD. Clokie in his recent article on "Basic
Problems of the Canadian Constitution" 1 has so well described as being
part of our constitutional law.
There has also been a repeal of one provision in the B.N.A.
Act of 1915 referring to the change in composition of the Senate.
All these changes in our constitution have occurred without any
notice by Canadian constitutionalists of the fact of their existence.
Even the King's Printer at Ottawa pays no attention to them, and his
published copies of the B.N.A. Acts contain no trace of them. This
is not perhaps surprising, considering the manner in which they were
made. Nor is the subject of any practical interest, since the changes do
not touch any continuing portion of the constituional law. Nevertheless
the very fact that the Canadian constitution should be amended in England
without the Canadian Parliament being anyway informed, still less the
provinces, is another reminder of our colonial relationship toward the
Imperial Parliament. The latest of these forgotten amendments occurred
as recently as 1927, one year after our equality of status with the
1. Canadian Journal of Economics and Political Science, Vol. VIII, p.
other members of the Commonwealth was declared.
The story of the amendments is simple. Periodically the British
Parliament passes a Statute Law Revision Act, the object of which is to clear
the English statute law of enactments which have either ceased to be in force
or have become unnecessary, but which have not been expressly repealed. The
revision Act is prepared by the Statute Law Committee, set up in 1868 by Lord
Cairns to superintend the publication of the revised edition of the statutes.
In preparing its list of statutes for repale the Committee works on the
principle that six categories of enactments are considered as having ceased
to be in force, otherwise than by express specific repeal. 2 these categories
relate to the statutes which are
1. Expired: that is enactments which, having been originally limited
to endure only for a specified period, by a distinct provision, have
not been either perpetuated or kept in force by continuance,
or which have merely had for their object the continance of
previous temporary enactments for periods now gone by effluxion of
2. Spent: that is, enactments spent or exhausted in operation by the
accomplishment of the purposes for which they were passed, either
at the moment of their first taking effect, or on the happening
of some event, or on the doing of some act authorized or required;
3. Repealed in general terms: that is, repealed by the operation of an
enactment expressed only in general terms, as distinguished from
an enactment specifying the Acts on which it is to operate;
4. Virtually repealed: where an earlier enactment is inconsistent with,
or is rendered nugatory by, a later one;
5. Superseded: where a later enactment effects the same purposes as an
earlier one, by repetition of its terms or otherwise;
6. Obsolete: where the state of things contemplated by the enactment has
ceased to exist, or the enactment is of such a nature as to be no longer
capable of being put in force, regard being had to the alteration of
political or social circumstances."
In the year 1892 a substantial number of sections of old 3 acts of
Parliament were cleared away by the Statute Law Revision Act on the principles
2. Vol. 18 Halsbury's Complete Statutes of England, p. 1183.
3. 55-56 Victoria cap. 3
the schedule we find this entry: –
"30 & 31 Vict. c.3 The British North America Act, 1867.
In part; namely, –
From "Be it therefore" to "same as follows."
Section two
Section four to "provisions" where it last occurs
Section twenty-five
Sections forty-two and forty-three.
Section fifty-one, from "of the census" to "seventy-
one and" and the word "subsequent."
Section eight-one.
Section eighty-eight, from "end of the House" to the
end of the section.
Sections eighty-nine and one hundred and twenty-
Section one hundred and forty-five.
Repealed as to all Her Majesty's Dominions."
The careful law clerks had taken the B.N.A. Act as just one more
of the English statutes to be revised, had gone through it punctiliously,
and lopped off the dead wood just as with any other statutes. The statute
next after the B.N.A. Act in the Schedule of revisions is the Dog
Licenses Act, 1867, the statute to which the Imperial Parliament turned
its attention after it had siposed of the B.N.A. Act.
So it is that time that the B.N.A. Act no longer contains the enacting words
of the preamble or sections 2, 25,42, 43, 81, 89, 127, 145, or parts
of sections 4, 51 and 88. If the B.N.A. Act is referred to in Halsbury's
Statutes 4 it will be seen printed in its correct form – a form discoverable
in no Canadian text known to the writer. Similarly, by the Statute Law
Revision Act of 1927 5, section one, subsection (2) of the B.N.A. Act of
1915 was repealed. No doubt if the Statute Law Committee is still at work,
somewhere in a distant office a meticulous clerk is paring away any loose
portions of the B.N.A. Act of 1930, the Statute of Westminster of 1931,
the B.N.A. Act of 1940 and any other such statutes that may pass before
his eyes.
4. Vol. 5, p. 351
5. 17 & 18 Geo. 5 C. 42
It is unnecessary to describe in detail the portions of the Canadian
constitution which are repealed. Most of them are of no consequence and relate
to provisions which are spent, expired or obsolte. Still, they did no harm
where they were, and helped to make the Act more historically complete. Their
removal leaves unsightly gaps – or rather would leave unsightly gaps if
Canadians were to pay any attention to them. The repeal of section 145
dealing with the Intercolonial Railway, for example, takes out a provision
that illustrates very clearly one of the aimrs of the Fathers of Confederation
– that of linking the former colonies by steel from coast to coast. And it
might be argued that the obligation to construct a railway includes an
obligation to maintain, which is a continuing obligation. Will the Maritime
provinces welcome the elimination of section 145? Also the removal of section
2 is difficult to understand. It provides
"2. The Provisions of this Act referring to Her Majesty the Queen
extend also to the Heirs and Successors of Her Majesty, Kings and
Queens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."
No doubt this rule remains in our law without the necessity of its statement
in the B.N.A. Act, but cela va bien mieux en le disent. 6
This odd group of amendments to our constitutional law provides another
argument for those who believe that Canada should acquire a new constitution
of her own – asingle, complete, independent document superseding all
previous statutes and deriving its authority solely from the assent of the
Canadian people. Until that occurs we shall not have a Canadian constituion,
nor a full sense of national status.
6. For instance, Dr. W.P.M. Kennedy recently cited section 2, though
repealed, in support of his argument that canada is not a "Kingdom"
but a "Dominion under the Crown of the United Kingdom". See his article
"The Kingdom of Canada", 17 Canadian Bar Review, 1, at p. 4.

Following the tragic death of actress Natasha Richardson at Quebec's Mont Tremblant ski resort in 2009, the Canadian company that manages the park is imposing a mandatory helmet rule at all its North American resorts for the upcoming season.
Intrawest, the company that oversees Tremblant and nine other snow resorts across North America, will require helmets for all teen and child skiiers and "recommend" them for other guests. Beginning in 2010, all skiiers and snowboarders at the resorts' freestyle terrain parks will also be required to wear helmets. The new rules will be phased in at Intrawest's resorts in Canada as well as their properties in the United States, including Steamboat and Stratton. In order to better publicize the decision, Intrawest plans to make a number of changes to its website and advertising, updating the imagery to include photos of guests wearing protective headgear.
Say what you will about the wisdom of mandatory helmet laws, but Intrawest's decision just makes sense. Whether you're riding a motorcycle, paddling the rapids or skiing down a hill, it should be natural to wear a helmet during higher risk activities. Richardson's high-profile skiing death only seems to have further pushed the issue to the forefront. Whether this sort of mandatory helmet rule will be extended to other American ski resorts remains to be seen.

Bearing tool
The tail bearing of the instrument is the part which holds the shaft and wheel in place. This tool allows the player to adjust how easily the shaft turns. Some players prefer more drag on the wheel, as this gives the chien a shorter, cleaner buzz. Other players prefer less drag, as this requires less effort.

Celtics at Timberwolves
7:00 pm Central
FS North
The Celtics come in at 4-6 having lost last night at home to Portland. New coach Brad Stevens has the Celtics playing better than many expected with a depleted roster that is missing star point guard Rajon Rondo, who is recovering from knee surgery. In his absence, Jordan Crawford has been surprisingly effective as a playmaker, averaging over 6 assists per 36 and shooting the ball well in the early going.
Overall, however, the Celtics have struggled offensively, with turnovers being a major culprit, not surprising when they are relying on two combo guards-Avery Bradley in addition to Crawford--to handle the ball. Jeff Green and Jared Sulinger have emerged as the Celtics primary scorers, with Green shooting well from three (39%) and getting to the line for 6 FTAs/36, while Sulinger has impressed in the paint and is shooting over 50% from the field.
Hopefully, the Wolves will be able to take advantage of their propensity to turn it over and get out and run, which is when they are at their best.
Boston has been significantly better on the defensive end, with the 10th best defensive rating in the NBA. Opponents are doing particularly poorly from three point range against the Celtics, shooting only 30%. Whether this has to do with their schemes or whether it's simply early season variance is unclear.
They have shown two defensive weaknesses that the Wolves will look to exploit: they have been the worst defensive rebounding team in the league thus far, and they put their opponents on the free throw line among the most in the NBA. Hopefully Kevin Love and Nikola Pekovic in particular can take advantage of those weaknesses and get going on the offensive glass and at the line.
This is a chance to see a couple of interesting players in the Canis Hoopus world: Kelly Olynyk, a player who many liked in the draft and whom is it believed Flip Saunders intended to pick when he made his fateful draft night trade. Olynyk is off to a slow start, shooting it poorly and turning the ball over excessively, though he has shown some early chops on the offensive glass. Courtney Lee, a player who many Wolves fans would like to acquire, has been coming off the bench for the Cs and shooting well in the early going, both inside and outside the arc.
Expected Lineups
Avery Bradley
Jordan Crawford
Jeff Green
Brandon Bass
Kelly Olynyk
Ricky Rubio
Kevin Martin
Corey Brewer
Kevin Love
Nikola Pekovic

CAP STEM Kit Selection Continues to Grow
Quadcopter, Computer Kits Expand Choices to 10
By Jennifer S. Kornegay
Contributing Writer
Today's world is driven by technology, creating a constant and continually growing need for people interested and educated in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
To help ensure the next generation is ready, willing and able to fill STEM-related jobs and tackle the challenges we'll face in the future, CAP's Aerospace Education program is committed to promoting an interest in STEM careers and is doing so by providing teachers with STEM Kits – valuable tools they can use to engage and excite their students. Eight hands-on, interactive kits are already in use in classrooms around the country, and two new kits recently became available.
Dr. Jeff Montgomery, CAP's deputy director of Aerospace Education, explained the importance of this initiative and its relation to CAP's missions. "Aerospace Education is one of CAP's three missions, and STEM education is a large part of that. The kits promote STEM and prepare youth for STEM careers, which will help America remain a global leader in the ever-changing technology realm," he said.
Since the program began offering STEM Kits, more than 4,300 have been sent to educators, benefiting 190,000 students. The two new kits — Raspberry Pi and Ready-to-Fly Quadcopter — promise to be as popular and effective as their predecessors.
Both prove, too, that bigger is not always better.
The quadcopter kit features a tiny Hubsan X4 Plus that allows for indoor remote-control flying. It weighs just over a half-ounce and is small enough to operate in confined spaces. "Because of its size, you can take it anywhere, and it allows cadets to get the feel of RC and real aircraft controls," Montgomery said.
The Raspberry Pi kit is also small in size but big in impact. The credit-card-sized, single-board devices are full-featured computers that can accomplish a near-endless number of tasks. They were first developed in the United Kingdom to provide affordable computers to students there.
CAP's kit uses them to teach computer programming and the principles of embedded digital systems to middle and high school students through a series of projects as entertaining as they are educational.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Lartigue, one of two national staff STEM Kit coordinators for CAP (the other is Lt. Col. Frank Roldan of the Michigan Wing), developed the Raspberry Pi kit while an assistant professor of software engineering at Kennesaw State University near Atlanta. He outlined the many different ways it can be used.
More information on the STEM Kit program can be obtained via email or on the CAP Aerospace Education website.
"It is a fairly powerful and complete computer system on its own, but the real fun comes when you hook it up to external sensors, devices and instruments to work through fun, challenging projects," Lartigue said.
Each Raspberry Pi kit comes with a full Pi computer set as well as three supplemental packs of external sensors, LEDs, digital displays and other accessories that can be connected to the computer. Projects supported by the kit range from simple, like creating an electronic keypad security lock or heart-rate monitor, to more complex, like building a real-time clock, an earthquake monitor or a GPS system.
"This kit will give students a head start on the real-world challenges of programming and controlling embedded digital systems," Lartigue said.
And that's crucial. As more and more smart devices enter the market, more and more developers are needed to program the software involved. "We have more programming jobs available than we have people to fill them," Lartigue said. "This kit was designed to encourage kids to look at this career field."
Betty Bigney, a CAP aerospace education member, knows firsthand how well the STEM Kits are accomplishing this goal. The North Carolina educator has retired from teaching full-time but still works two days a week at an elementary school on Topsail Island, where she leads STEM classes for K-5 students.
"The kits are fantastic. They have definitely enhanced my teaching by getting the children more involved in the topics," Bigney said.
Earlier kits, like one that has kids building and then launching rockets, have added real excitement to school days for her students.
"The rockets get them so interested in engineering and flying," she said. "I use the remote-control plane kit to teach physics."
The kits provide students with more than newfound knowledge; they build confidence as well.
"My fifth-graders built a robot arm," Bigney said. "They really didn't think they could do it, and when they did, they were thrilled. It showed them their own abilities."
Bigney pointed to another positive that has been particularly important in her area. "School budgets are terrible," she said. "I would never be able to afford to do these types of projects with my students without CAP. Where I am teaching is a small fishing village. We're not near any museums or other places where they can experience these kinds of things.
"These kids wouldn't have these opportunities without CAP. I'm really looking forward to using the new kits."
More information on the STEM Kit program can be obtained via email or on the CAP Aerospace Education website.

Issue: How to Fix High CPU Usage by Service Host on Windows 10 V1709?
After the installation of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, two processes, Service Host: Local network and Service Host: Internet Connection Sharing, triggers high CPU usage, which sometimes jumps to 50 or more percent. The PC gets really sluggish. Could you please tell me what could I do?
Solved Answer
For the past couple of weeks, Microsoft forum is full of users' reports about Windows 10 Fall Creators Update bugs. Sadly, there is a multitude of problems, one of which is related to high CPU usage by Service Host processes (Service Host Local Service and Service Host Internet Connection Sharing).
According to new Windows 10 V1709 users, these two processes use more than 30% of CPU, and, therefore, diminish the performance of the system. While the culprit of the problem may differ on each case, usually the Service Host high CPU is triggered by the stuck download process of Windows Update.
However, the problem can also root from the failure of other Windows services, for example, Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) or Base Filtering (BFE) Service. Therefore, a temporary solution for high CPU usage by Service Host would be to disable the services indicated above.
If that did not help to fix the problem at least temporarily, try the methods provided down below:
Method 1. Disable ICS or Base Filtering (BFE) Service
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) (SharedAccess) is one of the default services in Windows 10. It is responsible for the provision of network address translation, addressing, name resolution and/or intrusion prevention services for a home or small office network.
The ICS is dependent on other Windows processes, including BFE. If the latter can't start for some reason, ICS process keeps waiting, failing, and restarting continuously resulting in the high CPU usage by Service Host. Thus, try to stop ICS and BFE processes:
- Press Windows key + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- First of all, find the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service, right-click on it, and select Stop. Few people reported that right after stopping it, they received a BSOD screen, which triggered a reboot. Nevertheless, after system's reboot, the high CPU usage by Service Host has been fixed.
- If that did not help, stop the BFE service and check if the problem was resolved.
NOTE: this fix is temporary because the BFE and ICS services typically automatically. Thus, you can apply this method until Microsoft releases the patch.
Method 2. Use Command Prompt
- Right-click on Windows key and select Command Prompt (Admin).
- Click Yes on the UAC window and paste the following commands into the Command Prompt window:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:C:RepairSourceWindows /LimitAccess
sfc /scannow
IMPORTANT: C:RepairSourceWindows stands for the location of your repair source.
- Close Command Prompt and check if the problem has been resolved.
Method 3. Reset your network
- Open Control Panel and find Windows Firewall entry on the All Control Panel Items list.
- Click the Change notifications settings link on the left pane and mark the Block all incoming connections including those in the list of allowed apps check box.
- Then press Windows key + I and open Update & Security.
- Select Troubleshoot on the left pane and open Internet Connections/ Incoming connections.
- Click the Run troubleshooter button.
- Now click on Settings and open Network and Internet.
- Click Network Reset button.
- Then restart your PC twice and reset everything back.

Title: Silver in the Bone
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Release Date: April 4, 2023
#1 New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Bracken cements her status as one of the top fantasy authors writing today in this stunning series opener inspired by Arthurian legend and fueled by love, revenge, and pure adrenaline!
Tamsin Lark didn't ask to be a Hollower. As a mortal with no magical talent, she was never meant to break into ancient crypts, or compete with sorceresses and Cunningfolk for the treasures inside. But after her thieving foster father disappeared without so much as a goodbye, it was the only way to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.
Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian vanished with a powerful ring from Arthurian legend. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin's hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren't the only ones who covet the ring.
As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers' nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. . . .
What are you waiting for this week?

On 6/28/2018 at 7:30 PM SHPD officers and emergency medical personnel were dispatched to an address on Molly's Court for a medical call. Officers entered the house and located a 19-year-old male who was unresponsive. CPR was started and continued until EMS arrived on scene to take over. The subject was transported to a local hospital.
While in the house, officers observed narcotics in plain view. While in the room where the alleged narcotics were located the officers began to experience symptoms possibly relating to the narcotics in the room. At this point, the Williamson County Emergency Management Department was contacted due to the possibility that officers had come into contact with a harmful substance. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office Clandestine Meth Lab unit also responded. The house was deemed free from any harmful substances. Officers were treated and medically cleared to return to duty.
During the course of the investigation a large zip lock bag of suspected marijuana and a zip lock bag of prescription pills were located on the person of Hunter Rose, 19 y/o of Spring Hill. Other evidence of narcotics and narcotics trafficking were also located in the house.
Hunter Rose was arrested and charged with the following offenses: Manufacture, deliver, or sell a controlled substance or possession with intent to manufacture, deliver, or sell a controlled substance (Schedule II, IV, and VI), possession of drug paraphernalia, and tampering with evidence.
All persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Paraben free. Fragrance free. Dermatologist tested.
This says it is a "starter-strength" product. Should I be using it in conjunction with another product?
BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz:
Can I use this serum with a moisturizer, or should I purchase the Essential Exfoliating Cream?
BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz:
Yes, you can use a moisturizer with the Tetrafoliant 8% Peel Solution if you feel that your skin is tight or flaky after application - or if you enjoy the temporary improvement that moisturizers provide in the appearance of fine lines.
The Tetrafoliant 8% Peel Solution is appropriate for all skin types, especially since it is a starter-strength exfoliant. However, if you have extremely dry skin, you may want to use the Essential Exfoliating Cream, which has a more moisturizing base.
Does the serum come in larger sizes?
BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz:
Is it okay to use this product if I am also using a low-strength prescription retinoid (Differin)?
BeautyRx by Dr. Schultz:
Thank you for submitting a review!
Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
Of all the products, I find this one the most effective for anti-aging skin. I use it with Nourishing or Soothing Moisture Cream at night. Makes my complexion more youthful and vibrant.
The 8 % peel is a mild but effective exfoliate, with no irritation but just a bit of tingling to let you know that it's working. After a week or more of using it, my skin looks much smoother & brighter. This is a safe peel with no down time. I do love it!
I've suffered from painful cystic acne for years. I ran across this product while doing some research and I'm loving the results. My skin feels smoother after a week and I haven't had any flare-ups. The bottle is very small, so be mindful of how much you use.
Fantastic product. I have been using Dr. Schultz's products for awhile and I believe my skin looks years younger than friends I have had since childhood who only use over the counter products! I actually did not mind going to my 50th high school reunion this year!
It brightened my skin!

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed one of the country's most restrictive abortion bills into law. The passage of the Alabama Human Life Protection Act sparked public outrage, but the procedure remains legal in the state until the law goes into effect in six months, Vox reports.
The act bans all abortions in the state except in cases of pregnancies that pose a "serious health risk," and it classifies abortion as a Class A felony. Attempted abortions have been classified as a Class C penalty under the new law, and doctors who perform the procedure can face up to 99 years in prison. The act makes no concession for rape and incest.
There are three clinics in Alabama that perform abortions and, according to The Washington Post, each one insists it will remain open. Vox says the Alabama Women's Center and the American Civil Liberties Union of Alabama plan to challenge the bill in court.
Last week, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the "fetal heartbeat" bill into law, prohibiting abortions after a heartbeat is detected in an embryo, which generally occurs five to six weeks into a pregnancy.
Actresses Gabrielle Union and Kerry Washington are among the celebrities who have said they would refuse to film in Georgia as a form of protest if the bill were enacted.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The wife of an American pastor imprisoned in Iran for conducting missionary and humanitarian work in the nation spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Saturday, urging her country to do more to free her husband.
"My question is—as I'm proud to see my husband stand up for his faith in the face of evil—how are we standing up as a country for him?," Naghmeh Abedini, wife of Saeed Abedini of Idaho, asked. "What kind of message are we sending to the world when we continue to negotiate while Iran continues to abuse one of our own, an American pastor?"
As previously reported, Abedini, a former Iranian Muslim turned Christian, left Iran in 2005 and moved to the United States with his wife and two children to find religious freedom after facing conflict with authorities for planting house churches in the county. In 2012, he traveled back to Iran to build an orphanage and visit his parents—and was about to return to the states—when he was taken into custody.
Abedini was later charged with threatening the national security of Iran, and for attempting to turn youth in the nation away from Islam and toward Christianity. He was then sentenced to eight years in Iran's notorious Evin Prison, where he has spent the past two years behind bars.
In November 2013, Abedini was transported to Rajai Shahr Prison, which was believed to pose an even greater threat to Abedini's health and safety. Last May, while obtaining treatment at a local hospital for injuries sustained from beatings, he was likewise beaten and returned to prison.
Abedini's wife requested a face-to-face meeting with Barack Obama in January as he was scheduled to speak at an area university. She later told reporters that Obama advised her that "getting Saeed out is a top priority and he is working very hard to get Saeed home back to our family."
But on Saturday, while speaking at CPAC in Orlando, Naghmeh Abedini expressed disappointment over the lack of voices speaking out for religious freedom, including in regard to her husband's plight in Iran.
"Silence in the face of evil is evil itself," she said. "That means when we don't act and we don't speak, we are doing the same things that the persecutors are doing to my husband. … When we don't speak in the face of evil, we're doing that evil ourselves."
Abedini warned that if American Christians remain silent regarding the persecution of Christians in other nations, they will see persecution come to their own soil.
"If we don't address what's going on across the world, it will be something we will have to deal with here," she declared. "And we're seeing we're losing our religious freedom here."
The pastor's wife and mother of two exhorted those gathered with Scripture's contingent promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which reads, "If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
"This great nation is blessed because of our foundation on Jesus Christ," Abedini said. "My prayer is that … we would turn our eyes back on Jesus, that we will repent of the ways that we have looked to other things to fulfill us, and that we would turn our eyes back to Jesus and pray and cry out for healing for our nation, and that we get back to our core value of religious freedom."
