GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - These days, Rose's Gymnastics is packed.
"Every four years, we get a surge in interest because it's one of the glamour sports of the Olympics," says Darlene Rose, the gym's owner. "So a lot of people tune in and little kids watch and the next thing you know, they're like 'well I want to do that.' So we end up getting a good surge of people coming in and wanting to try gymnastics."
Rose says her gym will see anywhere between 25 to 30 percent more people sign up for gymnastics when the Olympics roll around.
For those already interested in the sport, the Olympic athletes are an inspiration.
"I mean they know their names, they're like little sport heroes for them" she says. "And they follow them all the time."
"I've been watching USA gymnastics," says Lily Albritton, 9. "I like to watch Simone Biles cause she's so powerful."
Leah Holmes, 8, agrees, saying, "Power, she's got energy and she's got sass."
Madison Kocian is also a favorite.
"Cause her bars are so good and she's so tight and her legs are perfectly straight and she just so great on bars," says Lily.
Leah says vault is her favorite event and that the Olympic games give her a lot to think about.
"I try to think about having a good practice," Leah says. "Trying to accomplish my dreams and having a good practice the next day."
Rose says both Leah and Lily will compete in a meet this weekend.

Thanks for the many many entries to this competition – there was so much more feedback than the Raise The Dead video competition we did earlier this year. Probably because all you had to do was go to the Fidel shoes site and count the number of shoe models they have.
Well the answer to the question is: 14 models of Fidel shoes are available! And the lucky winners were randomly chosen and they are Joe Sandland from Heathfield, East Sussex and one Z. Grosa from Nantwich, Chesire. We'll contact you later today to make sure you get those shoes before Christmas!

How to comfort a lame dog
There are so many different causes of lameness in dogs and diagnosing the underlying reason for your dog limping can only be done by a veterinary surgeon.
Lameness can be separated into short term lameness that often gets better by itself and longer term and more serious lameness that perhaps requires surgery.
If in doubt always contact your vet for advice, don't forget if you have Argos Pet Insurance you can call the freephone vetphone advice line.
Dogs leap and jump all the time and can be prone to injury. Even older animals can sustain injury if they jar themselves suddenly or over exert themselves. As a result a large number of cases of lameness are temporary and with the correct homecare will go on to heal naturally on their own.
3 steps to help your dog's recovery
Step 1: Start by resting your dog.
The most important part of your dog's recovery is rest. Rest means as little exercise as possible, so no playing with your dog in the house/garden, no allowing your dog to jump up on his hind legs, no jumping on/off furniture, no going up and down stairs and no jumping in and out of cars.
Rest means no walks, even short ones. It is also worth putting your dog onto a lead to go to the toilet in the garden to prevent your dog running around. You must think of your dog like a small child and enforce rest.
It is better however, after the rest period, to have 3 or 4 short controlled walks than risk an uncontrolled and harmful energetic outburst from your frustrated dog.
Strained muscles and other soft tissues need time to recover and heal. Movement should be controlled and restricted and in some cases your dog may even require confinement.
Initial rest should be for 2-3 days. If recovery is quick then continue rest for a further 2-3 days and then start a slow, gradual reintroduction to exercise. It may be that recovery is not that quick, but as long as you see an improvement on a daily basis then persist until full recovery; this could take up to a few weeks but you should be able to recognise a daily improvement.
Step 2: Reintroduction to exercise.
When your dog appears to have recovered and is walking normally on the previously lame leg then you can restart exercise. A gentle, gradual program is required starting with gentle walks on the lead. Gradually extend the duration of the walks over a number of days and build back up to normal walks.
Getting back to 'off the lead' exercise should not be rushed as allowing your dog too much exercise, too early, will cause a relapse. If the lameness flares up again then this is likely to be due to over exertion. In this case take a step back and then carry on the program, but at a slower pace.
When should you use a cold compress?
During the early stages of the injury your dog may benefit from cold compresses. They may help to reduce pain and inflammation in the injured leg. A cold wet cloth or bag of frozen vegetables/ice cubes in a towel will suffice. Apply the compress for 5-10 minutes several times a day over 24 hours.
After this a warm compress can be used which may help alleviate stiffness (you can make one by filling a cloth bag with dry rolled oats which can then be warmed in the microwave and then held or wrapped around the leg). Apply for 5-10 minutes, several times a day; test the warm compress against your skin to make sure it isn't too hot. Some dogs may respond better to either the heat or the cold and alternating may also provide relief.
On this occasion be guided by the improvements you see in your dog's health.
If the lameness doesn't show signs of improvement, always contact your vet.


text: A trumpet being manufactured in Germany is featured on a website http://www.freebell.de/ . The site is in German, however it has an interesting video clip showing the bending of a trumpet bell bow and some pictures of a cornet that look amazingly like something what you would expect if a Taylor Zeus got loose in Dave Monette's shop! (or if Dave's "decorator" got loose in Andy Taylor's place). From the front page, click on "Einleitung" and then on "Video" (doooh). For the cornet, "Katalog", "Heavy 2000 B-Kornett". (Sorry I had to use the word "Zeus" in the Wild West... but after all.... Andy was calling one of his cornet models "Zeus" before Alex had his brainwave).

Thanks all!
To be clear, I am definitely planning on using the BTZS tubes for development and I am very interested in BTZS for exposure metering, etc. I have purchased the BTZS book by Phil Davies and am working my way though it in a non-linear way.
The only reason why I mentioned BTZS is the 2 ounce (60 ml) capacity of the BTZS caps which hold the developer. I know that some highly diluted developer solutions such as Rodinal 1:100 might become exhausted because there isn't enough active developer.
Although I liked XTOL, I do prefer the convenience of a liquid developer. I may give DD-X another shot. It's also readily available where I live.
As for film recommendations... As I mentioned, I really like Acros, especially for its reciprocity characteristics, but I question Fuji's commitment to film. I feel slightly more confident in Kodak film, since there recent sell-off. Ultimately I feel like I should support Ilford because they are the most committed to continuing film.
I realize nobody can predict the future. I should probably just shoot the film I enjoy and not worry about it.

Slow-Roasted Pork Shoulder Over Creamy Sage Polenta
Bring the water to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Whisking constantly, add polenta in a slow, steady stream and return to a boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer. Cover partially; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is creamy and starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30-40 minutes, add sage, and chili flakes during the last 5 minutes. If polenta is too thick to stir, add more water (up to ½ cup), a little at a time, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat. Stir in Pecorino, and season to taste with pepper and salt.
Serve hot.
In Your Glass
Everything that I said about the wines that complement the Winter Squash dish apply here too – this will be a delicious dance partner with Cabernet Franc or Merlot. In addition, I'd recommend opening a Barbera d'Asti, which offers high-toned fruit and soft, beautiful tannins. If you're a fan of red wines with some age, say a Cabernet like One Point Five®, that's reached at least the eight or ten year mark, you're sure to enjoy its soft tannins and elegant fruit as you experience the combination of savory and creamy in this entrée.

Sympathy...looks good to me!
Ok, so this card was not made for work (if you remember from previous posts, I had done several sympathy cards for work...) but someone I worked for asked if I could make a sympathy card for them. I think it turned out really nice. The damask is a Heidi Swapp sticker (found a roll of them at Tuesday Morning for only two dollars! I bet there's a hundred of them on there.) The background of the sentiment is made with my Unity Stamps (as is the sentiment). TFL!

Thumbs-up: To a tribute to Diesel, the Siberian husky mascot who patrolled the sidelines at every Northern Illinois football game from 2005 to 2013. The statue, which was unveiled Thursday at Huskie Stadium before the Huskies' 30-27 overtime win against Eastern Michigan, depicts Diesel giving a high-five after a Huskies' score in 2013, in a moment that was captured on ESPN. The statue was sculpted by Renee Bemis and commissioned with the help of a fundraising campaign. The Diesel Memorial Project is still accepting donations for the $25,000 cost of the bronze statue through GoFundMe.com. Although Diesel died in 2015, his memory will live on, and it's good to see NIU football commemorating moments and figures – even canine figures – in its history.
Thumbs-down: To super-expensive elections. The 2018 Illinois governor's race could be the most expensive contest in U.S. history, according to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform. With multimillionaire Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner announcing his plan to run for re-election, and Democrat J.B. Pritzker, one of the world's richest people, among the front-runners for the Democrats, the race could eclipse the $280 million spent on the 2010 race for governor of California. That's a tremendous amount of money, which undoubtedly could be spent to greater benefit. What's more, it only underscores the tremendous influence that money has on politics around the country, and raises the disturbing possibility that tremendous wealth will be a prerequisite for any of our future leaders.
Thumbs-up: To helping high-schoolers learn to navigate the adult world. At the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce's inaugural First Impressions Count workshop at DeKalb High School on Tuesday, students had the opportunity to meet with adult community leaders in an attempt to work on "soft skills." These social nuances include handshakes, an elevator speech, and other techniques that help people in business-related social situations, whether it's applying for a job, as a candidate for admission to a school, or networking at business events. All of these are behaviors have to be learned, but people often are left to try to figure them out alone. We're glad to see local businesspeople helping to teach these skills to young people, as well as Northern Illinois University's Career Services department, which later had a representative follow up with the students.
Thumbs-up: To the 56th annual Sycamore Pumpkin Festival, which kicked off Wednesday and concludes with the big parade Sunday. Already, the pumpkin-decorating contest has attracted more than 1,100 entries with the theme "Pumpkins Across the Decades." This year's Pick of the Patch went to Keegan Palm, who built a big brown monster out of three pumpkins. The weather is going to be fall-like this weekend, with high temperatures in the 40s, but we doubt that will get in the way of people having some family fun – or warming up with the 10K Pumpkin Run on Sunday morning. This tradition, which offers lots of opportunities for people and DeKalb County service clubs and nonprofits, is one that truly makes our area special. Thanks to all who volunteer to make it happen each year.

what is asbestos ? what is mesothelioma ? finding mesothelioma lawyers and mesothelioma attorney
How to Find a Mesothelioma Attorney
Four Parts:
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may have a claim against the party responsible for exposing you to the asbestos. Mesothelioma cases are unique in the legal field due to the long period between being exposed and getting sick. Therefore, it is extremely important to find an attorney who is familiar with taking on these sorts of cases. You have a limited amount of time to pursue your claim, so you should find an attorney as soon as possible after your diagnosis. You will find lots of lawyers advertising themselves online and it can be hard to determine who to trust. Be thorough in your search, and interview a number of lawyers until you are happy with your choice.
Preparing to Search for an Attorney
Determine the jurisdiction.Before you get started on the search for an attorney, you must make sure you are clear about the appropriate county, or parish, and state in which to bring your claim. A lawsuit should be brought in the county, or parish, and state in which the person you are suing, called the Defendant, lives or operates a business.
- Do not limit your search to your local community. Your case may be filed in a different state to where you live.
- Many specialist mesothelioma attorneys will have practices in a number of different states.
Consider what you should be looking for.The attorney you work with will need to be someone you can talk to in confidence and feel comfortable with. You may be discussing very personal information about your health and your condition. Keep in mind that good communication and trust is essential if you are going to have positive and successful relationship with an attorney.
- Before you begin the search for an attorney think about the sort of person and the sort of law firm you would feel most comfortable working with.
Understand how costs work.Attorneys in this area of law work on a contingency basis. That means that your fee will be taken out of any award money you receive, whether that be through a settlement or jury award. However, some court costs and travel fees may have to be paid by you up front. Before you sign up with an attorney you will agree a percentage of the settlement that you will pay to the attorney after the claim is completed.
- The percentage of the settlement which goes to the attorney can vary widely. You should aim to find a good lawyer who will charge 30-40% of your award. While this may seem high, it is considered a fairly normal fee because of the complexity of these cases.
- If you are bringing your case in states such as Louisiana, California, Washington, or Pennsylvania, there may be even more specific rules regarding fee arrangements in asbestos cases.
- Bear in mind that finding a lawyer with an excellent track record of successful claims and large payouts may make paying a slightly higher percentage worthwhile.
- The percentage of the settlement which goes to the attorney can vary widely. You should aim to find a good lawyer who will charge 30-40% of your award. While this may seem high, it is considered a fairly normal fee because of the complexity of these cases.
Finding Attorneys
Speak to former colleagues.If you were exposed to asbestos while working in a previous job, there is a fair chance that some of your former friends and colleagues may have also contracted mesothelioma. If so, and any of them have been through a compensation claim, speak to them first about their experience.
- If a trusted friend or colleague can recommend an attorney this could be a good option.
- If your colleague got a good result, and they had a good working relationship with the lawyer, you should add this lawyer to your shortlist.
Search online.Mesothelioma claims can be very lucrative for attorneys so if you search online you will find a large number of attorneys advertising themselves. When you are confronted with such a large volume of information it can be intimidating and hard to determine who are the best and most suitable for you.
- It's important that you spend some time carefully reading through the legal information each lawyer provides on the website.
- You should be looking for well-written and in-depth information that evidences the expertise, experience and sensitivity of the attorney.
- Be wary of adverts that do not provide detailed information, and just make a bald statement, such as "Millions of Dollars Guaranteed".
- In general, you should use the internet as part of a larger search process. A lot of the information surrounding these kinds of cases can be misleading and untrue. Be skeptical of internet advertisements and always follow up.
Use some online lawyer directories.When you search online you will no doubt come across a number of large online attorney directories. These can be helpful if you are struggling to navigate the many thousands of search engine results. Use the same critical criteria to evaluate any posting, advert or website for a mesothelioma attorney.
- Popular attorney directories include Lawdingo.com,Lawyers.com,LawInfo,and FindLaw.
- You can also contact your local Bar Association and ask for a recommendation for a mesothelioma attorney.
Evaluating the Attorneys
Do some initial investigation and research.In order to draw up a shortlist of potential attorneys, you need to do some investigation about the records, history and profile of different attorneys. This can become a major task so try to focus your search as much as possible. You can do an initial assessment by reading through websites and evaluating the contents and presentation.
- Review the site for the quality of information, grammar and spelling, and visual appeal. Attorneys who maintain sites with large amounts of grammar and spelling errors, low quality articles, and a barrage of ads can be crossed of your list.
- Doing a basic name search. Run a search for each attorney in your favourite search engine, putting his or her name in quotation marks, "Joseph Stephens" or "Ann Sterling" for example.
- Searching a person's name or her name and location will sometimes return valuable information about her such as social media or business profiles, news items, or press releases.
- Locating client reviews. Many business directories and attorney listings include information about each attorney, such as client reviews, which can be a valuable source of information when deciding who to hire in your fight for compensation.
Compile a shortlist.Once you have narrowed down your search you try to attain some further information to help you draw up a shortlist for consultations. You should try to get references from the attorneys, or the name and contact details of a previous client. The former client will have to agree to it, but in many instances this can be organised.
- Getting a reference like this will be better than relying on a brief statement by an anonymous person on the attorney's website.
- The attorney will only give you the details of somebody who had a successful case, but it is still useful to talk to someone who has worked with the attorney and been through the process.
- Contact an attorney's office directly and say you are interested in her services, and would like to check some references before making an appointment for a consultation.
- If the attorney is helpful, friendly and accommodating, that is a good sign.
Check your shortlisted attorney at the American Bar Association.A good source of information on the records of attorneys is the bar association. They keep public records about complaints, ethics violations, and disciplinary actions taken against attorneys licensed to practice in the state. If one of your shortlisted attorneys has been disciplined for an ethics violation, you probably wouldn't want to interview them.
- You can find your local bar association's website by selecting your state from the State & Local Bar Associations page provided by the American Bar Association.
- When you get to the state bar's website in the state where the attorney is licensed, do a quick search for any ethics violations. In general, all you will need is the attorney's name or bar number.
Make a few appointments for consultations.Choose maybe five of the attorneys you have located and considered, and make appointments with each of them. The consultations should be free of charge and will give you a chance to meet with the attorneys face to face and discuss your case. Be sure you clarify that you will not be charged for the consultation.
- The attorney's office may give you a document that outlines what to expect from the consultation and provides you contact numbers and further information.
- A swift and helpful service at this can indicate that the office is professionally run.
Prepare for your consultations.The attorneys you consult with will be pitching for your business so it's important to be well-prepared. Gather any documents the attorneys have requested that you bring to your consultation, fill out any forms you are sent, and prepare a list of questions for the attorneys. You may also want to bring along a notepad and a pen, and take some notes.
- Write down your initial impression of each attorney and his or her answers to your questions.
- Notes about your meeting will help you remember which lawyer said and did what, so that you can better decide which attorney is right for you.
Note down the questions you want to ask.When you have a consultation it's important that you go in fully prepared, including having a list of questions to ask. You only have a certain amount of time, most initial consultations are 30 minutes to an hour, so you want to get as much important information as you can. Think of the consultation as a job interview where you are interviewing each attorney for the job of representing you.
Making Your Decision
Spot dubious lawyers.Before you go any further you should make yourself aware of any practices by attorneys that are dubious or against the profession's code of conduct. An attorney who has acted in this way towards you should be avoided. Attorneys should not make specific promises about your case, or offer you a "guaranteed result".
- The attorney cannot change the quality of their representation according to how much you pay, and they cannot suggest a better result if you pay more.
- The fee should be determined by the amount of time and work done by the attorney, the quality should not change.
- Attorneys should not solicit your business unless you have contacted them, or given them permission to contact you.
Narrow your list down to three names.After meeting with at least five attorneys, sit down with your notes and cross all but three off your list of potential lawyers. Some things to consider when choosing which attorneys to remove from your list include:
- Your initial reaction to each. It is important that you trust your attorney and feel comfortable with him or her. You will be spending a lot of time with this person, after all.
- Experience. While a younger less experienced attorney may seem very enthusiastic and committed, but experience is very important. This is a big decision and you should carefully study somebody's record of successful claims.
- The answers given to your questions. Did the attorney actually answer your questions or did he or she avoid the question by talking about something else? Did all of the attorneys give the same answers? Does any particular candidate stand out as more or less qualified than the others for the job?
Do some further research.Once you have reduced your shortlist to just three names do some extra research on their record and history. Now you have just a few names you will be able to do more in-depth research more easily. Consider asking for further references, and trying to find people who have worked with specific lawyers through mesothelioma support groups and organisations.
Choose an attorney.Select an attorney from your remaining three. If you are unsure about which to choose, try to find out more information and get recommendations from people who have been through a claim before. Mesothelioma claims have helped thousands of people get some financial compensation for their suffering. The compensation can make a big difference, helping prevent financial hardships during your illness, supporting your family.

Alumni-student collaboration wins top honors at RTDNAC luncheon
Several School of Communications students and graduates were recognized during the Nov. 12 event held at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Elon Local News, Elon University's student-produced newscast, was honored with two awards – both first-place finishes – at the annual RTDNAC/AP Convention and Awards Luncheon. In the ceremony's professional categories, two School of Communications alumni – Nick Ochsner '11 and Neima Abdulahi '13 – were also honored for their work, including Ochsner's collaborative report with current journalism major Andrew Feather '17.
The Nov. 12 luncheon, hosted by RTDNAC and The Associated Press, was held at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A full listing of award winners is available online.
In the luncheon's professional competitions, Ochsner won first place in the Political category for his "On Your Side Investigates: Campaign Spending" report. The WBTV investigative reporter also captured first place in the General News category for his "Failing Our Veterans" report, which Feather also worked on. Feather served as a WBTC investigative intern in summer 2016.
Formerly a digital journalist at FOX46 Charlotte and currently a reporter for WXIA in Atlanta, Abdulahi placed second in the TV News Multimedia Journalist of the Year competition. This is the second consecutive year Abdulahi has finished runner-up in this contest.
In the student competitions, Audrey Engelman '17 captured first place in the Best Student TV News Producing category for her work on the "Elon Morning" telecast for Oct. 23, 2015. Gary Grumbach '16 also took top honors in the Best Student TV Weathercast category for his April 28, 2016, segment on "ELN Morning."
Associate Professor Rich Landesberg, who serves as ELN's adviser, was also in attendance. He serves as the executive administrator and treasurer for RTDNAC.
"I'm incredibly proud of our hard work," said Ashley Bohle '17, broadcast news director of Elon News Network. "We put many hours and preparation into our shows. Live television news takes a dedicated team of journalists looking to share stories and keep our community engaged."
Elon Local News and The Pendulum, Elon's student newspaper, converged newsrooms this fall, bringing together the traditional print and broadcast platforms. While the new partnership has been branded the Elon News Network, both student media outlets continue to use their established names in their respective mediums.

Hospitality designer Kirk Nix of KNA Design Studio teamed up with Robert Allen Contract to design Beverly Boulevard, a high-performance upholstery line that features jewel-tone velvets, metallic accents, and geometric motifs. The designs were inspired by reptile skins, ancient Japanese kimonos, and the designer's arcane reflections on the infinite revolution of time and the digital realm versus the real. Nix channeled his contemplations into nine color palettes and 20 designs, resulting in patterns with names such as "Rockstar," "VIP," and "No Photos Please." The collection includes upholstery fabrics, two drapery sheets, and a coordinated outdoor Sunbrella Contract fabric.
Imagine a design crossroads where sensuous, over-the-top luxury coexists with a fresh blend of California cool. Robert Allen Contract and visionary designer Kirk Nix have collaborated to create One Ten West, a boundary-pushing collection dedicated to forging unforgettable spaces for the larger-than-life personalities who will occupy them. The collection's strong design currents revolve around a medley of distinctive styles that are bold enough to stand on their own, yet tolerant enough to intertwine. From a slinky sophistication produced by high-luster yarns to a pleasing palette of blues and grays to digitally inspired patterns, this collection brings huge impact, endless intrigue and infinite possibilities.
Louis and Snowdon (she hated "Anouk")
Against all expectations, Joni Mitchell turned to jazz and in so doing needed session players. Wayne Shorter told her about Louis and, seeing a once in a lifetime opportunity, grabbed the next TWA flight out.
Blue Note Records had a reputation for impeccably dressed musicians and Louis was no exception. He was particularly fond of French and Italian suiting that set him apart from the sharkskin materials found at the time. As a man of color, Louis played up the French side of his upbringing and had no intention of acclimating himself to American tastes. He was damn proud of the way his mother moved to Paris in the 20's as an assistant to Josephine Baker. Anything was preferable to the discrimination she had to deal with in the US. So, when Josephine posed the idea to her during a visit to Atlanta she jumped on it.
Louis's father, an Egyptian Jew, was Josephine's manager and saw after her expensive wardrobe and her collection of pearls (tie in to the pearl/dot motif fabric here). He also had a huge collection of records which were always in heavy rotation. Louis grew up in hotels and ballrooms filled with lush upholstery, drapery, plaster and ornamentation. Fantasy pavilions.
So upon returning to LA the gig with Joni led to the seminal record of his trumpet solo at the Monterrey Jazz Festival. LA took over and Louis asked Snowdon to come back. At least for a little while.
Snowdon accepted an offer to teach "Ethnic Color Studies" at the old ArtCenter on LaBrea. It was there that her love of "odd" color combinations took hold with the craftsmen and especially the weavers of what would become a distinctly West Coast fiber art movement.
Inspired by a boozy night of Sangrias at Charles and Ray Eames modernist home they decided that they should stay in LA. As luck would have it Louis and Snowdon exchanged leases with friends who wanted to escape LA for something less American. So off to Marrakech went their friends and into the vacated Penthouse ——– moved Louis and Snowdon. They felt at home with the Mexican tiles and the blue bathroom fixtures and augmented it all with the fabrics and works of art culled from the previous 13 years. The party set they had in France and Morocco was replaced by the jazz and art set in LA and everyone clamored for invitations to their penthouse with music provided by Louis' friends, furnishings designed and upholstered with Snowdon's designs and rugs. Draperies billowed breezes scented with rice dishes, lamb and applewood hookah smoke.

Despite the downturn in the Asia--Pacific region, New Zealand PC sales remained high in the first quarter of 1998, according to IDC Research.
"For the first quarter New Zealand was actually 18.7% up on the same time last year," says Pat Pilcher, an analyst with IDC.
Recent results from US analysts Dataquest see the rest of Asia-Pacific down by 20% over first-quarter results last year.
"The impact of the Asian economic crisis was even more dramatic than in preceding quarters," says Dataquest senior analyst Bruce McCabe. He expects full recovery of the IT markets in the region to take up to two years to recover.
But Pilcher believes the New Zealand situation is different to the rest of the Asia-Pacific region.
"Australia and New Zealand are a bit of an aberration. New Zealand is a more mature IT economy. We've had our boom years and the market's gradually shifting into a replacement phase." He says that many of the Asia-Pacific countries have areas that are largely under-developed, and that impacts on their overall IT strengths.
"There are big disparities throughout the region in terms of the developed state of each nation." Dataquest's figures back up Pilcher's comments — those countries which suffered the most in terms of growth are the least developed: Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, which saw a drop of 82% on the 1997 results.
Australia dropped by 6%, while the best result was from China with 21% growth, taking it to second place with $US715 million in revenue. Australia still leads the pack with $US771 million. Japan isn't included in the results as it is considered separately.
IDC's figures saw 53,800 units sold in the first quarter, compared with 45,340 in the first quarter of 1997.
But Pilcher is concerned that the economic problems in Asia will eventually trickle down to New Zealand and we may see a downturn in the near future.
"There are a number of large outfits around the country planning to put major IT projects on hold." Pilcher says this is due to the Asian crisis but also because of the problems with New Zealand's dollar.
"All of the main vendors say they're not raising their prices in the immediate future, but if the dollar keeps falling, how long can they hold out?" Pilcher believes the New Zealand PC market has such tight margins that it cannot sustain current prices for long.

VH1 will present the world premiere of the music video for Norah Jones Chasing Pirates, which debuts online at VH1.com today Tuesday, October 27, and will air on VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown at 9AM ET on Saturday, October 31. Chasing Pirates is the lead single from Jones highly anticipated upcoming album The Fall, which will be released by EMIs Blue Note Records on November 17.

Jones has also announced a first run of TV appearances around the release of The Fall. The multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter will be appearing on CBS Late Show With David Letterman (November 11), Comedy Central The Colbert Report (November 18), and ABC Good Morning America (November 16) and The View (November 23).
Chasing Pirates, which was featured on Rolling Stones Hot List, immediately announces a new direction for Jones. Entertainment Weekly wrote that Chasing Pirates is a bluesy surprise and welcome change of pace, adding that Jones voice remains as lovely as ever.
"For this record, I just had a sound in my head," Jones says. "I wanted the grooves to be more present and heavy. And I also just wanted to do something different." That new sound began to present itself on one of the first songs Jones wrote for the project. "About a year ago, I did some demos in my home studio," she says. "I had some friends come in and we figured out a cool arrangement for 'Chasing Pirates,' with a cool drum part. It went somewhere I didn't expect it to go, and that became a direction to look in."
The Fall finds Jones experimenting with a new set of collaborators, including Jacquire King, a noted producer and engineer who has worked with Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, and Modest Mouse among others. Jones enlisted several songwriting collaborators, including Ryan Adams and

It's ugly, not flashy, and not very fashionable
Most Helpful Girl
It's not wearing them that Muslims find sexy, it's knowing that only they can have/see what's underneath.
I do not want to blame all Muslims. I know some Muslim girls who dress hot. I do think there are tons of hot Muslims girls, but we will never know.
I know right! I've seen some Muslim women/girls who are gorgeous! But, on the bright side, when your wearing a burka no one can judge you based on aesthetics👌🏼
Maybe you're right about that. First time, I heard that before about the aesthetics part.
Also, I already know the answer to my question before I ask this.
Most Helpful Guy
the islam/muslim culture, berates women, for being women. they have literally no rights, and can be stoned, just for wearing the "wrong" thing
Ikr, hate how they treat women. Well any religion is like that to some degree

I know. It just since my King agreed to sign up to the PetroDollar system which the US requested. the US became superpower.
when US economy fell apart SA will fell too. Saudi Arabia started to have 2030 vision to be independent from Oil. will add entertainment and tourism.
Sadly I'm not sure if we can achieve the vision. the US economy will collapse now or next 10 years.

Yesterday was another great day with friends and my sis. After Sarah and I hit the gym, we packed up and headed to the lake. Our friend has a family cabin on the lake that we could use. We just expected to be floating around in the lake, but her uncle had a boat that he said we could all use.
Let's just say that this song was sung a great deal, in various versions.
At one point, we had a "We're on a Raft" version going. And yes, alcoholic beverages did indeed play into this being far more hysterical than it actually was.
My friend's family ended up showing up so we did have to share the boat. So in the end, we did just float in the water near the cabin. But absolutely no complaining for certain.
Monday Funday
Since today is a holiday, Jason and I were both off work. I needed this 3-day weekend in a big way. I actually managed to sleep until 8:15. Of course, this was after Maddie woke everyone up at 6-ish, then 7.
Since every day can't be about pool parties and hanging on the lake, I guess today was more normal. I hit the gym for a run and then biceps and back. If I had gotten up earlier, I would have probably gone for a run outside. But it was just too hot and I was being lazy.
I did 3 miles total on the treadmill with 4 1:00 minute athletic intervals thrown into the mix. I then hit the weights. I did a superset for biceps/back of 3x8 then drop sets after.
Incline bicep curls
Bicep curls - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)
Double-arm rows - 6,8,10 (dropping weights quickly between sets)
After the workout, I hit the grocery store, which was insanely packed. I guess everyone was out restocking their beer supply (no beer sales on Sunday) and loading up on grilling goods for the evening.
We did attempt a little bit of pool time, but the clouds rolled in on us, so we got out and headed out for a late lunch. The rest of the evening will be a lazy one - just trying to enjoy the last bit of time off before reality strikes tomorrow.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend!

Continental Aims to Strengthen Industrial Business and Open Up New Sales Markets for Surface Materials
Monday, 17. October 2016
• Agreement reached on acquisition of the Hornschuch Group
• Benecke-Kaliko: boost to global presence and access to new markets
Weißbach, October 15, 2016. Surface specialist Benecke-Kaliko, a subsidiary of international technology company Continental, is intending to expand its industrial business further and open up new sales markets, particularly in North America. A corresponding agreement on the purchase of the Hornschuch Group, based in Weißbach, Germany, has been brokered. "This acquisition is a strategically important and logical step for our company. Hornschuch generates more than half of its sales with industrial applications. We are thereby consistently and sustainably strengthening our global business outside the automotive industry," explained Hans-Jürgen Duensing, member of the Continental Executive Board and CEO of ContiTech AG. Completion of the acquisition is subject to the approval of the respective antitrust authorities.
The Hornschuch Group is one of the leading manufacturers of design, functional and compact films, foam laminates, and artificial leather for industrial applications (furniture and construction industry) and for the automotive sector. Hornschuch generated sales of €410 million in the 2015 fiscal year, with more than 1,800 employees working at four production sites in Germany and the U.S.A.
"For Benecke-Kaliko, this is the largest acquisition in the company's history. Two strong, international companies, each with many years' standing, are joining forces and combining their strengths so that they can address customer needs with an even more tailor-made approach," added Dr. Dirk Leiß, CEO of Benecke-Kaliko AG. "The Hornschuch Group's well-established international sales network will also help us to reach customers for our products in areas where our profile is currently not as strong," Leiß went on to say.
Dr. Hans-Hinrich Kruse, CEO of the Hornschuch Group, expressed a similar view. "Together with our employees, and with the help of our financial investor, we have experienced dynamic growth in recent years. The merger with Benecke-Kaliko now offers an outstanding opportunity in terms of our future continued development in our markets worldwide. We are certain that both companies will benefit from this strategic step."
Hornschuch is to be integrated into Benecke-Kaliko. The corporation is able to finance the acquisition entirely from its own liquid assets and available lines of credit.
Benecke-Kaliko AG, part of the ContiTech division of the Continental Corporation, develops and manufactures surface materials for passenger and commercial vehicles, the off-highway sector, and other important industries at seven locations in Germany, China, Mexico, Poland, and Spain, and operates 16 international sales offices in North and South America, Asia, and Europe. The company achieved sales of approximately €550 million in 2015.
Continental develops intelligent technologies for transporting people and their goods. As a reliable partner, the international automotive supplier, tire manufacturer, and industrial partner provides sustainable, safe, comfortable, individual, and affordable solutions. In 2015, the corporation generated sales of €39.2 billion with its five divisions, Chassis & Safety, Interior, Powertrain, Tires, and ContiTech. Continental currently employs more than 215,000 people in 55 countries.
As a division in the Continental group, ContiTech is one of the world's leading industrial specialists. Its customers can be found in key industries such as machine and plant engineering, mining, the agricultural industry, and the automotive industry. With around 43,000 employees in 44 countries, the company uses its development and material expertise for products and systems made of rubber, plastic, metal, textile, and electronic components to combine these with individual services. ContiTech always thinks in terms of customer-friendly and environmentally-friendly solutions – going well and truly beyond its roots as a producer of rubber products. With sales of €5.4 billion (2015), this international technology partner is active with core branches in Europe, Asia, NAFTA, and South America.
The Hornschuch Group produces and markets design and functional films for the end consumer in the Home Decoration unit under the d-c-fix® brand. Under the skai® industrial brand, Hornschuch supplies films and coated substrate materials for the automotive, furniture, marine, and construction industry. The Hornschuch Group, with its headquarters in Weissbach near Heilbronn, is a global leader in surface design. Three additional production operations belong to the Group: Hornschuch Stolzenau GmbH, kek-Kaschierungen GmbH, and O´Sullivan Films, Inc., U.S.A. With five sales companies, the surface specialist is active in the trend and decision-making centers which are important for the industry. The Hornschuch Group has more than 1,800 employees worldwide.

Acworth Beach
The Georgia Wake Series is excited to unveil the location of the final stop of the 2017 series, a location rich in wakeboard and waterski history, and one of world-class conditions. The 7th stop, which will crown the State Champions and conclude the series on Sunday, September 12, 2017, will be held on Lake Acworth at Cauble Park in Acworth, Georgia.
Tour Director Brandon Lee said, "We are pleased to be working with the City of Acworth to return a wakeboard event to this excellent location. With consistently smooth conditions and a large beachfront swimming and spectating area, Lake Acworth will guarantee an incredible experience for both riders and spectators alike as we watch the Championship battles conclude. Being less than 10 miles from Saturday's Stop 6 at Terminus Wake Park, this event will be convenient for everyone."
For nearly 20 years, many great events have been held at Lake Acworth. From the Shaun Murray winning the 1999 Pro Wakeboard Tour, to the Georgia Games in the early 2000's, to Ambush Board Co's various events throughout the late 2000's, to the 2013 Pro Wakeboard Tour stop won by 5x PWT champion Phil Soven, Cauble Park has been a staple in Georgia wakeboarding. Now, the Georgia Wake Series will add its mark, concluding the 2017 season in at Lake Acworth, a hub of Georgia's watersports history.

Preface # 13:06:47 [JasonSmith]: I want to beg the meeting's pardon and ask to be reminded about the current branch/merge policy # 2. Mozilla Persona and OAuth merge # 13:07:16 [JasonSmith]: I want to merge in two related "plugins" I've maintained for a while 13:07:38 [JasonSmith]: I will get the style consistent and stuff but mostly I want to just announce that fact, and also ask to be reminded about the branch/merge/JIRA policy for new features 13:08:08 [daleharvey]: JasonSmith: so I hate to be that person, because it happens way to much in couch land, but I was thinking about the browser_id plugin stuff 13:08:16 [Kxepal]: JasonSmith: afaik, quite simple: create issue, create feature branch with issues number as prefix, made required commits, when you're ready send PROPOSAL MERGE request for review. and merge into master 13:08:31 [daleharvey]: do you think a 'one database per user' plugin would be more useful than the browser_id one? 13:08:32 [JasonSmith]: Kxepal: Oh, right, how could I have forgotten. thanks :) 13:08:54 [JasonSmith]: daleharvey: What do you mean by "one db per user" plugin? 13:09:08 [JasonSmith]: I mean, is that a feature of the browserid plugin or something else? 13:09:24 [JasonSmith]: (Also, we can explore questions like yours in the form of code in the branch, before I merge it to master or wherever) 13:10:09 [Kxepal]: mmm..do you mean that browserid plugin will be able to restrict user access to specific database(s?) ? 13:10:31 [Kxepal]: without need to setup _security things for every database 13:10:31 [jan____]: hi all, I'm doing a workshop today, I can only half-listen 13:10:38 [daleharvey]: JasonSmith: oh snap, for some reason I confused your plugin with what I am writing, please ignore 13:11:50 [JasonSmith]: Kxepal: I see. That discussion (whatever it is about) is unrelated to my browserid stuff 13:12:02 [JasonSmith]: daleharvey: Do you know offhand what I am supposed to call it, Persona or BrowserID? 13:12:09 [daleharvey]: persona 13:12:09 [JasonSmith]: One is a protocol and the other is a $thing 13:12:10 [JasonSmith]: Love it. 13:12:32 [JasonSmith]: Okay, they share some common code but basically I will make two JIRA tickets. Thanks Kxepal 13:13:56 [Kxepal]: JasonSmith: thanks to you for these plugins (: 13:14:47 [JasonSmith]: Ok that was all I myself explicitly wanted to cover today # 3. Robert's birthday # 13:21:20 [Kxepal]: #link http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/couchdb-dev/201307.mbox/%3CCABvT1DHB8DkvSaE%3DUwiLn96UtEv366tEkHS11PweWFZvZeJ-6w%40mail.gmail.com%3E 13:21:41 [Kxepal]: #action everyone say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to rnewson and wish him well and relax (: 13:22:28 [daleharvey]: lol, happy birthday bob 13:23:11 [JasonSmith]: Happy birthday, rnewson! 13:25:58 [Kxepal]: ASFBot: meeting end

10-09-2010: Colloquium Stefano Forte
16 - 07 - 2010
Friday 10 September 2010, 11:00h, at Nikhef in H331
Speaker: Stefano Forte (Milan University)
Title: The NNPDF approach to parton determination: ideas and results
I discuss the importance of parton distributions (PDFs) for physics at the LHC.
After reviewing the current state of the art of PDF knowledge, I present the novel approach to PDF determination which has been pursued by the NNPDF collaboration. I show how the NNPDF methodology, based on a monte carlo approach combined with the use of neural network, addresses the delicate issue of accurate determination of PDF uncertainties. I present recent NNPDF PDF sets, compare them with other available sets, and argue that they are most suited for discovery physics.

Fortunes Stroke
No one could have been more surprised than I when I was contacted out of the blue by Ntakay. I guess he must have remembered me from years ago when I was working catching core out in Nigeria in the early eighties. Anyway, however he dredged up my name, I must say that I think we both bless the day. While I have become a teacher it seems that he must have stayed in the oil business and, from his own account, risen to a position of responsibility as the principle advisor to the former leader of a west African republic. A country which I am reluctant to reveal the name of for reasons that will become apparent. After years of political stability in his adopted home Ntakay has established himself a by no means modest fortune. Again I don't want to spill the beans, but lets just say that we are talking a pretty decent euro lottery win here.
Anyway, just before Christmas his government which had for some time been under the eye of an increasingly greedy military was destabilised, and all accounts above 50 million dollars in them have been held in stasis until they can be established as belonging to the government. The only exceptions being those which can be shown clearly to be linked to a foreign personal bank account. It seems the new regime is anxious to clobber its own citizens but would equally like to avoid offending people from the foreign who may be needed in the future to help them retain power.
To cut a long story short, it seems that all we have to do is establish an account with a few thousand in it in our joint names, get it recognised in his country, and then Ntakay can shift his millions over to Europe. He has generously offered me a fat ten percent to help him on the way!
So that's it. By lunchtime I will have realised a few stocks and shares and opened an account in the name of Hallett & Mweewee. In a week or two its feet up on a desert island for the pair of us.
Why work harder!

I just knew one of the blogs I read today would have an inbuilt hoax - but it was very effective Meredic.
Actually I've had a couple of calls on my mobile from a number in Algeria. The accent was a bit thick so I'm not sure what he was offering. However when I passed the phone to Bear the caller rang off.

Good one, Meredic.It was a good deal more convincing than the salsa dance teacher's announcement that Sarko and Carla were descending on us for a surprise visit.

Residents invited to participate in March 15 Town Hall on County investments in the MOT area
Evening session at the Odessa Fire Hall will also be livestreamed at www.facebook.com/nccde
New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer and members of his leadership team will hold a community Town Hall on Thursday, March 15 to engage with southern New Castle County residents about plans for enhanced County services in the Middletown Odessa Townsend (MOT) area and the effort underway to develop a comprehensive land use plan for the area south of the C and D Canal.
The Town Hall will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Odessa Fire Hall, located at 304 Main St., Odessa, DE 19730.
"New Castle County government provides critical services that save lives, protect the public health and drive our high quality of life. We are committed to enhancing those services to better meet growing needs in the southern part of our County," County Executive Matt Meyer said. "We are holding our March 15 Town Hall to communicate directly with our residents and to hear their ideas and concerns. Please plan to attend and join the conversation."
County Executive Meyer and department leaders will kick off the Town Hall with a short informational presentation about southern New Castle County Park plans, expanded library services and a county paramedic station and preview the county's fiscal challenges in advance of the County Executive's annual budget address later this month. A question and answer session will follow and attendees will be invited to share their ideas about county services and park and library amenities they seek in their communities.
The March 15 Town Hall will be streamed live on the County's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nccde. Community members are invited to post their questions on that site or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

10 Tips for Writing A Common App Essay That Colleges Will LOVE
More Slideshows
To have an impact on your reader, write with feeling. Don't just share what you've done; also articulate why it moves you. When a student named Andreas was applying to film school to study animation, he wrote a passionate chronicle of his lifelong devotion to art and animation. For his closing, he wrote straight from his heart:
"I love animation because it is the ultimate form of storytelling. As I move through streets, what I see makes me think and get ideas for what I might next want to create, model, and move. I want nothing more from life than to wake up every day to do this work, collaborate with likeminded obsessive devotees, and contribute all I can. I hope always to be surrounded by artists who are better, smarter, faster, and wiser, so I am forever learning.
My greatest aim is to make movies that are thought-provoking, stimulate viewers' imaginations, and pose the question, 'Imagine if….' To animate means to bring to life. When I make characters come to life, and every time I learn something new, I too come alive."

The bee-eaters are a group of near-passerine birds in the family Meropidae. Most species are found in Africa and Asia but others occur in southern Europe, Australia, and New Guinea. They are characterised by richly coloured plumage, slender bodies, and usually elongated central tail feathers. All have long downturned bills and pointed wings, which give them a swallow-like appearance when seen from afar. There are 26 different species of bee-eaters.
The bee-eaters are a fairly uniform group, morphologically. They share many features with related Coraciiformes such as the kingfishers and rollers, being large-headed (but not as large-headed as their relatives) short-necked, brightly plumaged and short-legged. Their wings may be rounded or pointed, with wing shape closely correlated with foraging habitat and migratory tendencies. Shorter, rounder wings are found on species that are sedentary and make shorter foraging flights in denser forests and reedbeds. Those with more elongated wings are more migratory. All the bee-eaters are highly aerial. They take off strongly from perches, fly directly without undulating, and are able to change directions quickly. Bee-eaters rarely hover, however.
The bills of bee-eaters are curved, long and end in a sharp point. The bill can bite strongly, particularly at the tip, and is used as a pair of forceps with which to snatch insects from the air and crush smaller ones. The short legs have weak feet, when moving on the ground its gait is barely more than a shuffle. The feet have sharp claws used for perching on vertical surfaces and also during nest excavation.
The plumage of the family is generally very bright and in most species dominated or at least partly green. The two carmine bee-eaters are mostly rosy coloured. Most of the Merops bee-eaters have a line through the eye and many have differently coloured throats and faces. The extent of the green in these varies from almost completely in the Green Bee-eater to barely any in the White-throated Bee-eater. Three species, from equatorial Africa, have no green at all in their plumage, the Black Bee-eater, the Blue-headed Bee-eater and the Rosy Bee-eater. Several species have long streamers in the tail, and in a few species these are ended with expanded spatulae.
There is little visible difference between the sexes in most of the family. In several species the iris is red in the males and brown-red in the females, and in species with tail-streamers these may be slightly longer in males. Both the European and Red-bearded Bee-eaters have differences in the colour of their plumage, and the Rainbow Bee-eaters have differently shaped tail-streamers. There are however probably undocumented instances where bee-eaters are sexually dichromatic in the ultraviolet end of the colour spectrum, which humans cannot see. A study of Blue-tailed Bee-eater found that males were more colourful when comparisons between males and females included a comparison of their plumage in the UV spectrum. Overall colour also was affected by body condition, suggesting that there was a signalling component to plumage colour.
