What is it like to get winched into a helicopter? A fat-headed BUZZ team member found out yesterday, 31 March. Today he is feeling like an April fool.
Roger Medcalf tells the story:
Trying to find bush trails for a Hash House Harriers run finishing at the Clearwater Bay Country & Golf Club, I started hiking from the club gates. Thirty years ago I had run with the Hash on the coastal trail from there round to what's now the Tseung Kwan O industrial park. I set out to find it. Yes, it's there, but a Government sign warns it is difficult and closed. I persisted, making the dumb mistakes the Fire Services warns hikers against: alone, one bottle of water and no food.
On the hillside above the industrial estate I took the wrong path, such as it is, battling through the undergrowth. The plan was to go over the saddle and down to the park. But the trail went up, up, up. Five years ago I had walked the proper trail over Tin Ha Shan and said to myself, I'll keep climbing over the top to reach that trail. The map says the hill is just 273 metres, so by now you will have guessed age (72) was a factor. The bush track got steeper and steeper near the top and it's hands and knees hanging onto the undergrowth. Out three hours now and a quarter bottle of water being conserved for later. I realised dehydration was setting in. I was running out of strength, so called 999.
They put me through to Fire Services. I told them I was in difficulty on the hill near the gate of the golf club. They didn't seem to understand. I kept repeating the details. Communication was apparently going nowhere. I decided to slide down the hill hanging onto the bushes and try to reach the industrial estate roads. The mobile was ringing non-stop, but I needed both hands to cling onto the undergrowth. The mobile kept buzzing. I thought it was wrong to waste the emergency services time, so stopped to speak to them. I'm OK, working my way down the hill. I'll get myself out of here, I told them.
Down, down, sliding down. Dehydration was really setting in. I'm weak and have lost the track. Now clambering over rocks and fighting through undergrowth. Vines encircle you and the more exhausted you are the harder to free yourself. It is not looking good as there is still a long way to go to the park.
Two yellow helmets appear high above me on the top of Tin Ha Shan. They yell and wave. I shout I'm OK and wave back.
In a few minutes two youngsters in blue uniforms come bounding down the hill to join me. They turn out to be Firemen Ivan and Stephen. Now I am sitting on a rock, bushed in more ways than one. Stephen gives me a small bottle of water.
Ivan and Stephen try to get me to climb to reach a better trail. I'm exhausted and for only the second time in my life a man's hand is on my bum*. One of the young Firemen is trying to help me up over the rocks. My vision is blacking out. I tell them I'm fainting and sit on a rock with my head between my knees. Stephen calls his supervisor. A helicopter is coming in 15 minutes, he says. What is it like to get winched into a helicopter? A big black-grey thing clatters overhead blasting the three of us with downwash. A winchman descends on a wire a few yards away. He lets the wire go and comes to me with a set of kit. One thick padded sling goes around the chest, another sling around the thighs. I give my hiking stick to Ivan because it may get in the way. My hat is stuffed in my by-now semi-shredded shorts. The winchman connects the sling to the wire from the helicopter. I gird myself, saying in my head, they know what they are doing.
Suddenly you are wrenched into air. Not violently. Swiftly. You are swinging under the helicopter and in fierce downwash. The winchman rotates with you.
You wonder how you get from the sling into the helicopter, safely. Of course, they have got it all under control. The winch pulls you on a track into the machine. A mustachioed European crew chief and two crewmen help me out of the harness. I'm directed to strap myself into a seat. When I take my mobile out to snap photos two crewmen give me gestures. Not allowed. The helicopter is military-grade kit, a Eurocopter costing US$ millions. One solitary pilot is up front. You never see the GFS crewmen's faces because of their aviator visors.
The flight to Fenwick Pier is quick. The GFS crew turn me over to white-shirted ambulancemen. After two bottles of water I have recovered and tell them so. They ask me to sign a service refusal form and let me leave the helicopter landing zone.
How do I feel today? Foolish, a bit guilty. Not because the Government spent money on me; I have been paying taxes here for 49 years. But because I may have diverted a helicopter from more important duties. But doubtlessly GFS prioritises, so I hope not.
Smack botty! Don't do it again.
* The only other time I've felt a man's hand on my bum was going into the men's at Hang Hau MTR. You think you would punch someone who did that on the nose, but you just go into a state of shock and get out of there quick.

Yesterday's Trading:
Wednesday saw the euro/dollar close down. The main fault of the fall lies with the British pound which fell by two figures. Sales of the pound were caused by the publication of a UK inflation survey. According to YouGov, the year expectations fell from 1.6% to 1.4% which could lead to a delay of an interest rate rise by the Bank of England. The dollar then received support by some US stats and a growth in stock indices.
The base index for durable goods orders in the US stood at 0.6% (forecasted: 0.4%, previous: reassessed from 0.6% to 1.0%). The total volume increased by 2.0% against a forecasted -0.4% and previous 4.1% (reassessed from 3.4%).
The situation on US stock markets is stabilizing. By Wednesday's close, the DJIA lifted by 619.07 (3.95%) to 16,285.51 points. The S&P 500 closed up by 72.9 (3.9%), reaching 1,940.51 points. The Nasdaq composite closed up by 191.00 (4.24%) to 4,697.50 points.
First the euro/dollar rate fell to the D4: 1.1351. Then, after a correction to 1.1437, the rate followed the pound by falling to 1.1291.
Main news of the day:
- At 8:45 EET, Switzerland is releasing Q2 GDP values;
- At 15:30, the USA is releasing its weekly report on initial unemployment benefit applications and a revised Q2 GDP value;
- At 20:00 EET, an economic symposium will take place at Jackson Hall.
Market Expectations:
News worth a look at on Thursday includes revised US Q2 GDP data. The data will have a real effect on the market if it is reassessed. Technical analysis should come off today.
Technical Analysis:
- Intraday target: maximum: 1.1375 (in States: 67 degrees), minimum: 1.1305 (Europe), close: 1.1334;
- Intraday volatility for last 10 weeks: 119 points (4 figures).
After a two-week fall of the euro, I am more inclined to believe in a return of the price to the LB. The longer the price is so off the scale, the more powerful rebound to the trend will be. The euro/dollar returned to the MA channel in the last hour. It was a rebound of 45 degrees. From here it's possible that it will slip down to 1.1305. Then it will head back upwards. Since the oscillator stochastic is up, the direction will depend on the stats that come out.
The sellers have closed off the growth from 1.1016 to 1.1712 by 62%. This indicates that the balance is tipped in favor of the eurobulls. If the buyers manage to keep the rate below 1.14 on the weekly, a reverse candle pinbar will form. Have a look at the weekly and the last candle there.
In the current climate, the buyers could still bring the euro back to 1.1450. The wave analysts will be considering a five-waver forming from 1.0847. As far as I'm aware, when 4 waves recoil by 38%, the fifth wave has a high chance of updating the maximum and is usually equal in amplitude to the first wave. A 62% rebound means considering that wave 5 won't quite form. This means that the price could approach 1.16 and sharply U-turn downwards. How then will we know whether there will be growth to 1.16? I think that the critical resistance level is at 1.1405. Breaking through it will open the road to 1.1560 and then we're on. Now to the Weekly.
A weekly pinbar is forming. After this, traders will again be looking at a fall in the euro to around 1.1050. After yesterday's fall of the euro, the 1.1773 target is no longer valid.

Her personal interest in Real Estate came from this exposure as well as her passion for her community.
Samar graduated from Kealakehe High School in Kailua Kona and went on to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Business with a minor in Marketing at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
As a resident of the Big Island, Samar has seen the island evolve over the past three decades, culturally and architecturally. As a local, she is deeply aware of the hidden treasures that may become someone's special home.
Samar has deep roots and connections in the community. Her knowledge and appreciation of Hawaii's neighborhoods, families, and properties is very personal to her. In her spare time, Samar enjoys the ocean, cooking, and spending time with her husband and their two children.

I get pretty excited when I discover individual artisans and boutique studios turning building, restoring and riding bikes into a creative experience. Needless to say I had a smile from ear to ear when I discovered Carson Leh and his beautiful custom leather seats.
From his home in California, Carson turned his love for BMX and his penchant for collecting brogue shoes into a unique creative endeavour. He makes beautiful leather ltd edition and custom brogue patterned seats for BMX, MTB, Race and Town bikes. Each and every seat is a work of art and you couldn't find a better way to top off a special build or your favourite ride. Check out the online store at www.carsonleh.com
Here are a couple of the photos from CycleEXIF's feature on Alberto Ocampo's Fit Wifi new school BMX build, my point of discovery for Carson's work (thanks Adam and Bert!)

Peaceful Lakeside Home on 6 acres. This is the place you are looking for--once you come, no other rental will do. Hammond pond is a seasonal private lake that no motorized boats are allowed on. Watch the wild geese raise their young or the deer graze in the meadow.
Our home has a fully stocked Granite kitchen, Tempurpedic mattress in master, and stone fireplace (gas). This place has it all--views, trees, meadows, wildlife, walking trails (dirt road), seasonal lake for kayaking or canoes. Quaint newer home with incredible charm--gas BBQ, covered porch.
Hammond pond is a seasonal 70 acre lake that attracts wildlife and local fishermen. Nestled between Mount Shasta and Black Butte to the east and the 'Eddys' to the west, abundant day hike opportunities exist. If you are not up to climbing the 14,000 ft Mount Shasta, the Pacific Crest Trail offers many easier day hikes--one of my favorites is from the top of Stewart Springs road to Deadfall Lakes--an easy, relatively flat 4 mile (one way), spectacularly beautiful hike. The 'Park's Creek' trailhead is about 30 minutes from the house.
Another gem is the McCloud Falls trail--make sure you don't miss the Middle Falls! McCloud is about 15 miles east of Mt Shasta City on Highway 89. The Falls are a few miles east of McCloud at the 'Fowler's' turnoff.
There is also a maze of dirt roads to explore that connect the homes and properties of 'Hammond Ranch'. Besides the Lake, many creeks flow through the Ranch--the Shasta River (just a stream at this point), Dale Creek and Eddy Creek. Following Dale Creek road past the house to Dale Creek, crossing Dale Creek (you have to wade) and then on to Eddy Creek offers a wonderful 8 mile round trip. Hike or mountain bike along a minimally travelled, relatively flat, bumpy dirt road. Wildflowers abound and the road winds along a hillside that offers dramatic views of Mount Shasta and the valley. You may take quads along the roads--but please observe the 15 mph speed limit on the private roads.
Whether you use our home as a base camp or a place to unwind, you will find that you don't want to leave the spell that it casts over you. When I have guests the most common thing I hear in the morning is 'How do you leave this place to go to work?' This is not just a place to stay--it is a destination!

Earlier this Brand Viagra without prescription week Facebook announced the release of the Facebook Send button.A� The send button allows readers to send content directly to their friends via email. Per the Facebook announcement,"People will have the option to send your URL in an inbox message to their Facebook friends, to the group wall of any Facebook group they are a member of, and as an email to any email address." Unlike Facebook Like, which allows users to share your content with all of their friends, the send button is laser-targeted based on selecting specific email addresses. Here is a screen shot of how it works:
The question worth asking is buy Antabuse online hong kong online pharmacy. "so what?" What's the value?
At first glance, the Facebook Send button seems to further confuse readers by giving even more options for sharing content (and places further burden on websites to offer all of the various sharing features!). From a user's buy cialis perspective, it would help direct relevant content to friends and associates who are related to the topic like sending Search Marketing Standard to your marketing friends and not your mom, dad, and relatives. On the flip side, a marketer benefits since any sharing is better than no sharing and higher relevancy to the audience could mean higher engagement with the content even if it's just 2 versus 2,000 people.
What do you think about the new Facebook Send feature? Like it or zyban reviews hate it?
We'll keep everyone tuned in if our expert contributors start pouring in various Cialis Professional no rx buy viagra online , acquire zithromax. strategies for leveraging the new Facebook Send feature. Until then, let's hear your thoughts!

Just in case you didn't know, almost all functions in Wordbee can be done in multiple tabs in your web browser!
On Windows keyboards, the easiest way to open a new tab is to hold CTRL when you click, which is an important and simple shortcut to improve your productivity in Wordbee.
For example, you might have three tabs open at the same time - one for Suppliers, one for your Orders, and one for the Project you're working on.
It's certainly a useful feature for productivity - but it's something that you have to figure out how it best works for you.

Business Gas and Electricity
Savings Made Easy
Fergus Ewing,Energy minister has backed 10m pounds gas and oil innovation
By Cynthia Taylor
Fergus Ewing, Energy Minister of Scotland, believes that the Ł10 million fund will be able to help the North Sea gas and oil industry to go from 'strength to strength'.
The minister has hailed gas and oil innovation, and has announced that the Ł10 million fund is now open for businesses to apply.
This follows a launch of the Scottish Government's gas and oil strategy at the beginning of the year, this strategy lays out plans to help the industry to be able to go from 'strength to strength'.
Mr. Ewing continued that this funding is a 'key component' of the strategy and that it meets a real need.
The minister revealed that there was still about 12 million barrels of oil that is recoverable from under the North Sea. He also said that there is an incredible future in gas and oil, the sector is accustomed to excellent innovation, and that the industry has taken great strides in helping secure the UK's place as a leader in the global arena.
The awards that will be made under the fund will help in the drive for innovation which will preserve vital infrastructure in the industry – the pipes, platforms and cables that are needed – will ensure that the industry will be able to operate efficiently and safely for the gas and oil recovery creating reserves for future decades.
David Rennie of Scottish Enterprises states that they will help to operate this new fund, he also said that successful gas and oil sector has an important role with regard to the UK's economic success and will be increasing as well as accelerating the innovation in the industry which has been highlighted in the gas and oil strategy document that was published earlier in the year, this will be a key element.
Mr. Ewing added that it is known that the assets in the North Sea are operating way beyond the 'original design life'. And to effectively capitaliseon future potential in the Scottish Oil Fields, it's very important that these assets are secured for the UK's future.
The funds will provide for ideas and to foster innovation which will help bring them to the market quicker.
However, WWF Scotland, an environmental body has accused the government that they are 'bending over backwards' with regard to the oil industry.
Dr. Richard Dixon, the Director of WWF has claimed that the public funds should be used to create a 'low-carbon future'.
He continued that the Scottish government wants to have it 'both ways' on the UK's energy future.
Mr. Dixon continued that the UK has the best climate targets worldwide, and that he did not blame ministers for being enthusiastic about renewables. However, they continue to 'bend over backwards' keeping the oil industry happy.
The fund is on top of the tax breaks that the UK government has offered the world's richest companies. He also said that the government must switch off the 'tap of money' that is going to 'dirty' gas and oil and ensure that the world changes to clean, renewable energy sources that create jobs.
He concluded that public money should be used to create a low carbon future not to inflate the oil companies' profits.

What we do
Our family has been involved in creating Bomboniere favours for a long time -
this is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The business is run by the three sisters of the family...Antonella, Mima and
Nilla, but the whole family is involved.
Due to the fact that it is a part of the family's history, they take pride in
their work and add passion to their Bomboniere. Each client is handled as an
individual and treated as a VIP.
As making Bomboniere is an art, the three sisters are proud of their quality of

Here are the top transfer-related stories in Wednesday's newspapers and online…
West Ham United are braced for a bid for Andy Carroll after Chelsea opened talks over a move for the striker, who missed the FA Cup third-round replay with Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday night. Sources have suggested that West Ham will listen to offers of £20 million for Carroll. (Guardian)
Everton are on track to complete the signing of Theo Walcott on Wednesday. The Arsenal forward spent this afternoon at Finch Farm undergoing a medical and finalising personal terms. Walcott is moving to Everton in a £20m deal that will see him end a near 12 year association with the Gunners. (Liverpool Echo)
Arsenal are being held to ransom by the financial demands surrounding Henrikh Mkhitaryan'smove to the Emirates. The Armenian holds the key to Alexis Sanchez's move in the opposite direction to Manchester United. Arsenal remain confident the deal will get done this week with both players valued at around £35million. But Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola has laid out a set of demands after insisting the United midfielder is in no rush to leave Old Trafford. (Daily Mirror)
Borussia Dortmund star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has pleaded with the club to let him join Arsenal. Aubameyang is determined to move to London and has told Dortmund of his desire to go this month. (Daily Mirror)
Tottenham are among the clubs interested in signing highly-rated Norwich City midfielder James Maddison. Spurs have been tracking the 21-year-old since before he joined the Canaries from Coventry in February 2016 but they face competition from Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester. Norwich are reluctant to sell Maddison this month and they would demand at least £20m for the England U21 international, who has scored seven goals this season. (London Evening Standard)
Manchester City are maintaining interest in Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Claudio Gomes. The 17-year-old has yet to commit to the French club over a professional contract and City have made it known they would be keen to sign him. (Daily Mail)
Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic is a loan target for Middlesbrough and Cardiff City. Grujic is currently well down the pecking order in Jurgen Klopp's first-team plans at Anfield and the manager is willing to loan him away so that he can get regular playing time under his belt. (ESPN)

Arsenal have made a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – and Olivier Giroud could go the other way

Microsoft yesterday repaired a glitch that barred access to its MSN.com portal to users of non-Microsoft browsers - though at least one browser remained locked out yesterday afternoon.
Microsoft upgraded its MSN.com site last Thursday to reflect the launch of Windows XP. Many users were unable to access the site with their (non-Microsoft) browsers. Users unable to access the site were told their Web browser was unsuitable and offered the chance to download Microsoft's own browser instead.
The company said at the time that some browsers weren't able to display the site because they didn't support XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language), a standard for rendering Web pages.
Microsoft said Monday it had tested the new MSN.com site against "the most popular browsers on the market". However, after receiving complaints from users who had been locked out, the software maker determined that it had wrongly classified some browsers as "unknown". The classification is typically reserved for older browsers that are known not to work on MSN.com, the company said.
Among browsers unable to access the site were: the Opera browser from Opera Software, the Mozilla browser, and the HotJava browser from Sun Microsystems. The site should now be accessible to all users, effective immediately, Bob Visse, MSN's marketing director, said yesterday.
However, attempts to reach the site Monday afternoon using the HotJava browser were unsuccessful, returning an error message.
A Microsoft spokeswoman said she had not heard about an issue with the HotJava product. "I haven't heard anything about that specifically," she said, who asked that her name not be used. "Any browser should have access to MSN.com."

Bella raced across the still dimly lit street and to the gym her studio – Stomp It – was in. She always got in early to warm up and dance before the other teachers arrived, in other words her lazy best friends and the clients.
Ever since she was little, she loved to dance, all kinds of dance, ballroom, ballet, hip hop, you name it, she could do it. Though she loved to dance, Isabella couldn't fathom going to school for it, so she studied to become a photographer all the while opening her own studio with the help of her best friends Alice and Rosalie.
"Ah Isabella, you are here early again I see. I wish my instructors had your dedication," Joe called out from across the small way; both hers and his studios at the front were glass so they could see in. He was the owner of the small local gym.
"Joe! You startled me!" she called back after her heart settled slightly.
"Sorry there, sweetheart, now you dance your heart out. I'm going to set up before the boys stampede in," he chuckles out to her, his mind thanking her like he does every morning. Because of her and her studio, his business wouldn't be closing again or on the verge of it. Her friends and herself, along with all the mothers and women that trickle in attract their husbands, brothers, and men off the street just to watch.
Shaking her head, she quickly went into the change room and got dressed in her comfy tank top and sweats, and quickly began to warm up knowing that she will have to change again. When Alice walked through the doors, Isabella knew that there was an hour till the first class and a half hour before Alice storms into the studio with 'suitable shorts.' God knows how she knows, but she does. Alice has a keen sense for when Bella wears her old comfy ratty clothes.

'The language in which God created life': Breakthrough hailed as 'too awesome to comprehend'WASHINGTON -- Awe-struck world leaders and scientists compared the completion of the map of the human genetic code to the first moon landing, but quickly warned yesterday that the scientific breakthrough must be tempered by strict legal and ethical guidelines.
''Today we are learning the language in which God created life,'' U.S. President Bill Clinton said. ''We are gaining ever more awe for the complexity, the beauty, the wonder of God's most divine and sacred gift.''
Calling it ''a day for the ages,'' Mr. Clinton announced that two teams of scientists completed a rough draft of the genome map, the blueprint for human beings, a breakthrough that could lead to cures for cancer and other diseases and greatly increase human lifespans. But Mr. Clinton issued a warning, echoed by other world leaders and the scientists who made the breakthrough, that the new discovery must be accompanied by new laws that would protect privacy and prevent discrimination against any group.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said: ''For most of us, today's developments are too awesome to comprehend,.''
''There are enormous possibilities for him and his generation, but also some dangers. And our job is to try to develop the possibilities and thwart the dangers,'' he said. ''It gives us a chance to do so much for our people, but it will raise really difficult ethical and moral and legal questions,'' Mr. Blair said.
The excitement of the day produced poetic references to other historic milestones and evocations of works of literature that have sought to define the human spirit.
But it was tempered by a sober acknowledgment of the potential abuses of the discovery, as poll results indicated a high level of mistrust among Americans.
The worries range from fears of discrimination against the disabled and the genetically flawed, to worries about invasions of privacy if people's genetic data fall into the hands of corporations or governments.
Some question the morality of the research that led to the discovery and a fierce debate is raging about how much companies should be able to profit from it. Others wonder how humans will cope if their fate, instead of being unknown, can be read in their genes.
The breakthrough is the first step in what is expected to be a decades-long process that could change medicine. It is expected to lead to the production of new drugs that could eradicate diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and diabetes, as well as cancer.
''Today we celebrate the revelation of the first draft of the human book of life,'' said Dr. Francis Collins, head of the National Human Genome Research Institute, which led the 10-year, publicly funded $300-million U.S. effort.
''We must provide the protections against potential misuses of genetic information,'' he added. ''I hope today's announcement is the necessary wake-up call.''
Celera Genomics Inc. of Rockville, Maryland has also been working for about two years to map the human genome.
Mr. Clinton brought both competing groups together yesterday, after they agreed to release their findings simultaneously, which had the spin-off effect of validating each other's research.
In a show of solidarity, the public and private groups appeared together at the White House and promised to jointly publish their findings later this year in scientific journals. The move followed weeks of negative news reports that cast their competition as a bitter ''race.''
Teams from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and China began the project 10 years ago.
One of the researchers, J. Craig Venter, left the consortium and founded his own company, Celera, with the express purpose of doing the same work, more quickly, for profit.
Celera sequenced the genomes of three women and two men, from people of Hispanic, Caucasian, Afro-American and Asian backgrounds.
The two projects each deciphered some 3.1 billion sub units of DNA, which contain at least 50,000 genes determining the traits of a human being.
Missing or damaged genes can cause disease. This new genetic map brings scientists closer to the root causes of disease than ever before.
If the data were printed on letter paper and stacked, it would tower as a high as the 180-metre Washington monument.
But the discovery also raises the possibility of abuse -- by employers, by insurance companies, and by private corporations bent on profit.
''(It) should not be owned by one individual or one company,'' said Dr. Michael Dexter, a British scientist who worked on the public project.
The remarks were clearly aimed at Mr. Venter, who has expressed interest in profiting from the discovery. Shares of Celera rose only $4.25 to $129.50 on the New York Stock Exchange in the hours following yesterday's announcement.
Mr. Venter defended the right of companies to patent discoveries. He said the U.S. Patent Commission has ''raised the bar'' on genome patents, requiring companies to show a specific diagnostic or therapeutic role, in effect blocking massive genome patents to ensure companies are ''not just doing it on economic speculation.''
But, Mr. Venter added, ''Patents are a very key part of the process of making sure new diagnostics and therapeutics are available to the American public.''
Mr. Venter said new laws protecting against genetic discrimination are critical ''in order to maximize the benefits from genome discoveries.''
Yesterday's historic announcement coincided with the release of a Time/CNN poll of 1,200 Americans that found 75 per cent did not want insurance companies to know their genetic code.
Critics fear if the breakthrough allows the likelihood of serious disease to be predicted, some people will be rendered uninsurable. Another 84 per cent didn't want the government to have the information.
Respondents were also split on the ethics of the research, with 41 per cent agreeing it was morally wrong and 47 per cent saying it was not.
About 65 per cent said they didn't believe companies should be allowed to profit from the research.
In California, a group called the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights urged the strongest possible privacy protection laws, including ''an absolute seal on every DNA test'' and criminal sanctions for companies that buy and sell the information.
''The corporate bid to own and control information about the human genetic code is an omen of the next great struggle facing humanity,'' said the foundation.
''The mapping of the human genome opens a Pandora's box for the balance of power between corporations and humans.''
While acknowledging the ethical challenges that lay ahead, Mr. Clinton expressed wonder at the discovery.
The U.S. president recalled how in the same room where he was making the announcement, former president Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis first examined the map of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which opened up the American West.
''It was a map that defined the contours and forever expanded the frontiers of our continent and our imagination,'' he said.
''We are here to celebrate the completion of the first human genome. Without a doubt, this is the most important, most wondrous map ever produced by humankind.''
Mr. Venter, the entrepreneur, said he was inspired by his experiences as a Vietnam medic 33 years ago. ''When I witnessed firsthand that some men live through devastating trauma to their bodies while others died after giving up from seemingly small wounds,'' he recalled, ''I realized that the human spirit was at least as important as our physiology.''
Mr. Collins, the top government scientist, quoted the poet Alexander Pope: ''Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, the proper study of mankind is man.'' Of yesterday's announcement, he asked: ''What more powerful form of study of mankind could there be than to read our own instruction book?''
He said yesterday's events gave added meaning to the words of author Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who wrote in his book, The Little Prince: ''Your goal is not to foresee the future, it is to enable it.''
However, the breakthrough was a bittersweet experience for Mr. Collins. On Sunday, he attended his sister-in-law's funeral.
''She died much too soon of breast cancer,'' he said. ''The hope and promise of understanding all of the genes in the genome and applying this knowledge to the development of powerful new tools came just too late for her.''

What are your hobbies?
I used to do a lot of sports, gymnastics, volleyball, jazz dancing, swimming and playing the piano. I find it hard to set aside time to do any of the these at the moment. One of my hobbies currently is working… sad, but true.
Describe your job in five words:
Simplifying the world of procurement
What are the best parts of your job?
I love working with people and solving problems. I get satisfaction from unlocking complex situations.
Who is iDDea and what do you do?
iDDea is a Strategic Sourcing Powerhouse. Our goal is to enhance the effectiveness of people and knowledge.
iDDea does this by applying best practices in the 6 stages of the strategic sourcing cycle. These are: Spend Analysis, Category Management, Tendering and Negotiation, Contract Management, Supplier Relationships Management and Value KPI Reporting.
We design strategic sourcing/category programs and support customers' procurement teams through providing outsourced procurement expertise. We have an outcome-based focus to deliver Value for Money best practice in line with category and industry insights.
What are your main priorities and goals in your role?
My main priority as CEO is to look after our team. If I do not do that well, I do not have a business, I would not have satisfied customers. The main focus of my team is to look after our customers. We are a customer-centric company. By listening to and learning from our customers, we are able to understand their challenges. We use our expertise to address the problems and figure out the best solutions.
What are your biggest challenges as a CEO?
The biggest challenge for me was becoming an expert in all areas of business. I've worked in Purchasing and Procurement for 20 years. I am passionate about it. However, being good at one thing does not make you a good CEO. In fact, to be a CEO, you must be good at many roles, such as business development, sales, finance, IT and HR. It didn't come naturally to me and it still does feel alien sometimes but fortunately, I have support from some great mentors and I hired very good people for the roles I was not good in.
The second biggest challenge is keeping up with the latest trends. The ubiquity of data, digital and technology solutions and the changing customer demands has shortened life cycles and time to market targets. The current business environment is very fast paced. It feels we are constantly on choppy waters without a haven in sight. By staying true to ourselves, and staying close to our customers, we use these changes to our advantage.
I am excited about the digital disruption and the marriage between human and machine. I already want to leap 20 years forward and have a preview of what the world will look like then. I wonder, what activities will be done by robots….or by our children? Sometimes it is hard to keep up to date, so staying abreast of the latest developments it inspires me.
How do you keep your team/staff motivated?
We're a small team so there are many advantages. We have a family feel, people express their opinions openly and honestly. Everyone is treated with respect. There is no hierarchy and because of that, everyone has autonomy in their roles.
I don't think the 9-5 structure suits everyone, so we take a flexible approach. If someone wants to arrive at the office earlier or later or work from home it's no problem.
When a customer sends a complimentary email or praises one of the team we share it. When my team works very hard on a project, we try to make sure there are some extra days off so they can spend time with their families or extend their holiday.
What are the latest trends in Procurement?
In Procurement, we gather lagging data indicators from various industries, from multiple categories. We forecast best buying decisions by evaluating these trends and insights in the context of our customers.
Digital disruption and new SMART tools are high on the agenda for everyone. Here also, procurement as a function is lagging behind other functions, such as Finance, Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain. Soon procurement will be able to use insight from leading data indicators and by applying AI business tools, augmented by human expertise and intelligence, the strategic value contribution of procurement will be measurable beyond Savings only.
Other trends pivot around new topics such as innovation, collaboration, ICT, sustainability and circular economy. Multinationals, the EU and OECD public procurement especially are debating and promoting these new topics as key differentiation for future procurement decisions. As buyers, we have a great opportunity to "buy right" for the 3P's: People, Planet, Profit. The selection criteria for the best decision should be the best blend of these.
Are there any major changes you would like to see in Procurement?
The Procurement Community itself needs to unite, work together and become more aware of the value we create for our business and the potential that it holds. The average spend procurement manages, is 65% of the turnover. We can buy innovative solutions when our market and product knowledge matches our stakeholders' needs. We improve buying green and making sustainable decisions. We are sitting at the front-end of a lot of operational and strategic decisions. We need to market our value by delivering best decisions while minimising risk. That is our role. We need to sell our success stories based on the data that is available to us. But we need to come out of our shell and practice what we preach. The impact and results will benefit any business and waiting for someone else to do this for you isn't in the best interest of the individual, the business or the brand of procurement.
As an employer are you finding any skills gaps in the market?
Procurement and supply chain are experiencing huge issues with skills gaps and resources into our domain. 10% of vacancies unfilled. To be honest, recruitment agencies are robbing Peter to pay Paul with the good buyers that are in the market. There are not enough buyers and there is very little done about marketing procurement as a profession or career. With lecturing in UCC on Procurement and developing a Masters for Procurement for Graduates for 2018, we hope to address this skills and resource gap in time. Key to this is to educate businesses that Procurement skillsets reach further than only the professional acumen. It is also emotional intelligence and other business acumen skills that buyers need to be proficient in so in building job specifications, I would strongly recommend hiring managers to look at both the soft and hard skills required.
How do you define success and what drives you to succeed?
Success lies in the value we create, problems we solve, relationships we develop and partnerships we deepen. At heart, my team, with their relentless pursuit of delivering their best for the customer, want to make a difference. 90% of our business comes from referrals. People recommend us to peers and colleagues who have procurement or sourcing pain points to address. We follow our own methodology of iDDea: Intent, Diagnose, Design, Execute and Augment. We measure our progress and success from the eyes of the customer. We are successful because we are people working with and for the benefits of other people. We understand, unlock and unravel their challenges and address them together. We go on the journey with our clients and together we deliver change for the better.
What's the best advice you've heard, or would give, in business?
Ask for help. Reach out to your network, learn from others. Simultaneously, payback and pay forward, coach, mentor, share, be accessible, be available and just be yourself. I still do not do it enough, I think I am the only one having an issue or a challenge, however, I cannot be further from the truth! Other people have dealt with the same challenges before and successfully so we can learn a lot from listening to them but we need to reach out.
What have been your highlights in business over the past year?
Our business model has various strands. I lecture in Procurement Management in UCC. We coach buyers, managers and CPO's one to one and in workshops. We manage tenders and recommend buying decisions. We provide digital platform solutions for companies who want to do all the stages of strategic sourcing themselves. Our customer base is quite diverse, from micro companies to multinationals, from private to public sector. We work with all main industries.
As you can see, our knowledge and expertise is niche however our reach and impact is very broad, so it is hard to answer that question. One interesting fact and for us, a highlight is our partnership with a sales company, the other side of the same coin. Altify is a digital sales transformation business and iDDea, a procurement consultancy team, is their research partner of choice?? While many think this an unusual partnership, it not only works, it augments the understanding for both sides and it shows me that we are on the right path. To work together, to unearth the common challenges we have and trying to find solutions, is very gratifying. To get recognition and to collaborate with a sales team, that shares similar values, is win-win for both. This is true co-creation. Sitting alongside them, as a subject-matter expert, to understand pain points and challenges has re-enforced our belief that "People buy from People, People sell to People". When everything else is equal, trust is the only differentiator between better and best.
What's next for your iDDea?
iDDea has big plans and in collaboration with UCC, DCU, Arvo, and 10 other European procurement competency centres, we are putting the final touches on bringing to market a Centre of Excellence in Procurement – The Procurement Transformation Institute (PTI). PTI's purpose is to develop procurement professionals to a best practice framework promote the Value of Procurement, create an inclusive community and improve procurement impact on business results. PTI will develop a vibrant procurement community to develop and promote peer-to-peer learning and innovation. With the asking of strategic partners in the public and private sector, all I can say is WATCH THIS SPACE. For those interested in coming on board and be part of Ireland developing as the leader in Europe for procurement excellence, get in touch to join our advisory group…
We recently partnered with a leading digital company to design the Next Generation Trusted procurement platform applications: with the latest digital advancements in mind such as AI, RPA, NLP, Cloud, we will facilitate optimum buying decisions on Blockchain technology. This is still in development and we aim that Q3 2018 we will share openly the proof of concept and first products can go to market end 2018.
What opportunities or plans for growth do you see in 2017?
We work very closely together with other partners in the procurement and business space. We truly believe that success needs to be is all about Collaboration and Innovation and already we can see steady growth coming through for 2018 and beyond. The market is actively looking to outsource key business services where there exists either time or expertise gaps in-house. Procurement is one of those services. The resource gaps that companies experience drives this demand and the ROI ensures long-term viability of our model.
We proactively plan our business and map our capacity to the needs of our customers. The plans for lifelong learning need to align with the advancements of our customers and vice versa. We create value for our customers by staying fresh, relevant, trustworthy and knowledgeable. In the last month, we have taken on two graduates to train them in procurement methodology. Our team will never stop learning. We pride ourselves on being as knowledgeable about the market as our customer and their suppliers to be able to guide them on the right path to make the best decision.
Where do you want your business/brand to be this time next year?
iDDea wants to be the procurement partner of choice for any size company in Ireland and Europe: because we care because we understand the challenges and because we can deliver results. We make a difference to the bottom line of any company, our average ROI is 10:1 and when you bring it back to basics, we take the hassle out of buying right and buying the right thing. Call it old fashion, but procurement is all about applying common sense: the decision process, the people you engage with, the context and environment that empowers or immobilizes you, the knowledge and value you share. We know that sense is not always that common but we are looking forward to delivering it and with that, Value beyond Savings.
When do you plan to retire or give up working?
I will probably never give up working as I honestly love being busy but I might decide to take some time out to go back to college. I am an everlasting student and find myself fascinated by so many various topics and disciplines that I feel my life would not be complete if I would not take time out to re-group and adjust what I am doing now. Or it might just happen that it validates that what I am currently doing is exactly what is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Objectives: This paper will report some of the final results of a doctoral study on the effect of acoustics on vocal strain of Opera singers. The research presents singers' objective voice dosimetry and subjective perception data together with the room acoustic parameters with the aim of establishing the preferred practice room conditions for Opera singers. Methodology: For this purpose 117 Opera singers from the Royal Academy of Music participated in the research. The pilot stage of the research was undertaken at the acoustic laboratories of London South Bank University in order to validate the research methodology in controlled environment, and the field stage was undertaken at four practice rooms of Royal Academy of Music. Singers' subjective data was collected via questionnaires validated during the pilot stage, and singers' objective voice dosimetry data was collected via Ambulatory Phonation Monitor. Room acoustic measurements were undertaken separately for each practice room when the rooms were unoccupied. Statistical analysis were performed to establish the relationship between the room acoustics and the singers' data. Results: The students' subjective response to the different acoustic conditions of the practice rooms showed significant change and very strong correlations were observed with the measured T30 room acoustic parameter at the 4k octave band and C80 parameter at 500 Hz to 4 kHz. Using this information and the practice room geometries, Opera singers' ideal practice room conditions were established.

How to write an outstanding Problem Solution Essay?
Essay writing use different methods to seek reader's attention. Problem/solution essay is the type of essay writing in which a problem is written or put in the essay and then the whole essay revolves around the solution to that problem.
Outstanding problem/solution essay:
Such type of essay which takes a problem and then find out the solution throughout the essay are written in following steps:
- First of all the thesis or problem statement of the essay is written in the start. The research that is done by the students is all about explaining the solution of the problem.
- The next step is to make a bridge between the writer and the reader. The writer has to convince the reader that the problem will be solved.
- Then the writer has to clarify the solution scheme.
- The writer has to add details on the basis of facts and research to prove that the solution he is providing for the problem is the best solution. He has to squabble to induce the reader that this is the solution only.
- Disprove the hostility if your essay has any.
The problem/solution essays are not difficult to write. These are the essays which can be written while doing your work all time in your verve.
How to decide the topic of such essays:
- The problem/solution essay's topic depends on the daily life issues. You can easily find the problems in your daily life experience. It is the best way to select the topic from your daily life problem. It is most important to tackle the problem in real meanings. You should be very well aware of the problem that what actually the problem is then find the information to write down the solutions to the problem.
- You have to notice what is happening around you in daily life.
- The problem is identified in the things that are happening around you. Make a list of the problems that you encounter daily. Sometimes the problem is not seemed to be a bigger one at first glance but while doing research you find it difficult to curtail the problem by finding solutions. So the problem should be vivid and smaller. Once the problem is defined you have to go through the different solutions of the problem. Do not stick to the only one solution of the problem. Find more than solution and select the one that is more supportive.

Capital residents took to social media this morning after a fighter jet was seen flying low over the city.
An RAF Typhoon was seen streaking over Edinburgh around 11.30am, with some people reporting that it had been low enough to "rattle their windows".
It transpired that the aircraft was performing a flypast to mark the Royal Artillery 19 Regiment March on the Edinburgh Castle esplanade.
A tweet from the Army Careers Centre in Edinburgh said: "As the @ArtilleryRoyal 19 Regiment March onto the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle the RAF fly over with a Typhoon.
"A proud day for the family and friends of 19 Regiment RA."

My friend's mum is going through menopause. I was over to her house and this woman was crying because she didn't have enough cheese in her pizza. She called Domino's and cursed them out with every curse word in the English dictionary; Talk about an awkward moment. We (women) are just screwed, aren't we? If it's not cramps., heavy bleeding, and PMS, it's menopause with an emotional roller coaster that causes us to cry because of cheese. Why, God? WHY?!

Is it just awkward? Did no one else find that sad? Obviously OP's Mom has been trying to have another child for a long time, who knows all the struggles (fertility treatments, miscarriages, etc.) she's gone through? Is she really that crazy for grieving for that other child she's always wanted?

WMI Libraly > Win32_ScheduledJob Class
Win32_ScheduledJob Class
The Win32_ScheduledJob class represents a job scheduled using the network management schedule service functions (also known as "Job" and "AT command" functions). Note that this is different from the tasks scheduled using the Windows 2000 Task Scheduler. This class is only instrumented on Windows NT 4.0 and later. Each job scheduled against the schedule service is stored persistently (the scheduler will know to start the job even after a reboot) and is executed at the specified time and day of the week and/or month. If the computer is not active or if the scheduled service is not running at the specified job time the schedule service will run the specified job on the next day at the specified time. Scheduled jobs are scheduled with respect to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), i.e. with bias offset from GMT. This means that a job can be specified using any time zone specification. The Win32_ScheduledJob class will return the local time with UTC offset when enumerating an object and convert to local time when creating new jobs. For example a job specified to run on a computer in Boston at 10:30 pm Monday PST time will be scheduled to run locally at 1:30am Tuesday EST. It should be noted that a client must take into account whether daylight savings time is in operation on the local computer and if so subtract a bias of 60 minutes from the UTC offset.
Example: defrag /q /f
Values TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, then the job will be interactive. If FALSE, then the job will not be interactive.
Values: TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, then the job is run repeatedly. If FALSE, then the job is run once.
Example: ********123000.000000-420 which implies 12:30 pm PST with daylight savings time in effect.
