Ancient Rome: around the Palatine, Romulus is said to have founded the city of Rome almost 2,800 years ago. The founding day of Rome is celebrated on the 21st of April. For more than a millennium, the heart of Rome struck here in the territory of the Roman Forum and the Imperial Forums.
In the area of the Archeopark of the Colosseum, traces of the Roman Empire can be found from its origins to its decline. In this area, abandoned after the demise of the Roman Empire, where sheep were grazed and artichokes were cultivated, you can find the traces of antiquity and look back over a period of up to 2,800 years.
Walk along the sacred street, "Via Sacra", in the Archeopark, and visit the remains of churches and palaces in the area. Visit Nero's palace, the golden house, the "Domus Aurea". After Nero's death it was buried and on its territory, the Coliseum was built. Let yourself be impressed by the sports facilities in the Baths of Caracalla and visit the ancient Roman houses on the Caelius Hill.
Already at the time of Augustus, about 2,000 years ago, Rome was a city of millions. The entire urban area of Rome contains archaeological relics from this period. The Campus Martius, which today houses the city center, was then the area for sports, culture and leisure.
Ancient Rome · Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome, and the oldest, since the 10th century BC populated part of Rome. Legend has it that Romulus founded his city here. The Roman Forum joins in the North. After the end of the 7th century BC the wetland was dried, it became the center of Roman public life for more than 1,000 years.
To the south of the Palatine you can see the Circus Maximus from the ruins of the Imperial Palace – Domus Augustana.
There were temples and public building in the Roman Forum. Among other things, the Venus Temple, the Temple of Vesta and the House of the Vestal Virgins are located here.
There are two entrances to the area, one on the middle of the Via dei Fori Imperiali between the Capitoline Hill and the Colosseum, the other on Via di San Gregorio, which leads from the Colosseum to the Circus Maximus – and further to the pyramid. There, you can see the remains of the aqueduct of Claudius, which distributed 2 cubic meters of water per second in the metropolitan area of Rome coming from the Aniene valley, 42 miles away.
Ancient Rome · The Imperial forums
Unfortunately, the Imperial Forums are not part of the Archeopark and they are not always accessible. The imperial forums consist of marketplaces and administrative buildings, built by the Roman emperors between 46 BC. And 113 AD were built.
In the 1930s, Mussolini built Via dei Fori Imperiali cross through the Imperial forums, between the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia, and opened it in 1932. On this road he celebrated its parades, he gave his speeches from the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia.
The road is now traffic-calmed and is pedestrian zone on Sunday.
Coming from Piazza Venezia the markets of Trajan and the Forum are on the left. The column of Trajan is located on the Forum and depicts the history of the Dacian wars. From the Forum passing via Magnanapoli you can reach the Municipal Museum of the Markets of Trajan. The Forum of Trajan is connected to the older forums of Augustus and Nerva.
Coming from Piazza Venezia right the oldest Forum is located, by Julius Cäsar, as an extension of the Roman Forum. After the intersection with via Cavour on the right is the entrance to the archaeological area of the Roman Forum and the Palatine.
Ancient Rome · The Capitol Hill
The Capitol borders in the north-west the archaeological area of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine. The Hill was settled only since the 6th century BC.
A beautiful story is the legend that the chatter of geese in the year 387 BC attracted the Romans and saved them from a night attack of the Gaul.
On the hill, the Senatorial Palace of the municipality and the Capitoline museums are located. From the Capitol, on the south side you find nice views to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, on the west side at Piazzale Caffarelli or the Caffè above, you can enjoy a beautiful view to the Renaissance Rome.
Ancient Rome · The Domus Aurea
The Domus Aurea is situated above the archaeological area of the Colosseum, Imperial Forum and Palatine Hill, in the deep of the Oppio Hill. Emperor Nero has built his Golden Palace after the fire of Rome in the year 64 on an area of approximately 80 hectares. The remnants were rediscovered in the 18th century in the underground of the Colle Oppio. They are currently being restored.
After the death of the much-hated Emperor Nero the Palace was filled up and thermal baths were erected. The rest of the area was assigned to other purposes. So, for example in the area of the Colosseum, before were an artificial lake, which belonged to the Palace of Nero. The restoration work of the Domus Aurea can be visited on weekends. The guided tours must be reserved in advanced.
In 2015, a space on the Colle Oppio was devoted, to the delight of the German Lutheran parish in Rome, the reformer Martin Luther.
Going on from the Colle Oppio in a northerly direction you will reach the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and farther to the main train station Termini.
Ancient Rome · Via di S. Giovanni in Laterano
From the Coliseum, via di San Giovanni in Laterano goes off. Passing excavations of a Gladiator school and the Dominican Basilica San Clemente this small cosy street with cosy bars, restaurants and shops leads to the Basilica of San Giovanni and the Holy stairs and onto the via Appia Nuova.
Ancient Rome · Circus Maximus
From the Colosseum, starting from the Arch of Constantine, via di San Gregorio leads you to the Circus Maximus. The second entrance to the archaeological area of the Palatine and the Imperial forums, is located on this road. If you go further on the road, you come to the ruins of the aqueduct of Claudius, which supplied the area with water. On your left, you see the Caelian Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome.
The Circus Maximus was once the largest Racecourse in Rome. Located in the Valley between the Aventine and Palatine Hill there were the first events in the 6th century BC and in the 4th century BC the first permanent facilities were built. Julius Cäsar, 46 BC, built the first brick plants.
Today, the circus is used for festivals, events and open air concerts.
Ancient Rome · The thermal baths of Caracalla
From the Circus Maximus, you can go to the South in the direction of via Appia Antica and you'll the baths of Caracalla on the right side. Built in less than thirty years in the 3rd century AD they're one of the largest swimming and sports facilities of ancient Rome. The operation of the spas with their enormous need for water and fuel was a logistical feat.

I'm wondering how many of you read World Nuclear News? WNN is the news arm of the WNA – a source of useful information that can, in my opinion, come across as a little dry. Put another way, they are not typically as aggressive in promoting nuclear energy as they might be. For that reason, I was very pleased to see them giving top billing to an article, written by a public affairs consultant, on why nuclear energy is set to rebound this year.
The article focuses on five points but the comment that really stood out for me was this: "Experts say it is virtually impossible for a major economy to have a reliable, low-carbon grid without nuclear energy. The Germans are learning this lesson the hard way." Although the author doesn't go into the details of his Germany comment, those of us in the industry know that the country has been forced to use more coal and to import electricity from France, where the vast majority of power is generated by… nuclear energy.
Even with some help from France's clean energy, the level of Germany's carbon creation from its utilities is alarming. Here's the same image used on the WNN article – it paints quite the picture.
Here are a few other German statistics, courtesy of environmentalprogress.org.
- German emissions have been rising since 2009.
- Closures of nuclear power plants resulted in more coal power.
- Germany installed 1.5 GW (3.9%) more in solar capacity but got 1.2 TWh (3%) less electricity from solar in 2016 because it was less sunny than 2015.
- Germany installed 5 GW (11%) more wind capacity but wind power decreased 2.1 TWh (2.6%) because it was less windy than 2015.
- German electricity was nearly 10 times dirtier than France's in 2016.
The absurdity of the German approach – and a few other countries like it – serves to highlight the fact that many nation states, including the home of Big Oil, are actively pursuing a nuclear energy program. That's why we currently have 56 reactors under construction, with 14 due to come online this year alone, and nearly 160 planned. Whichever way you cut it, that's a fast pace. In fact, it's the fastest pace in the last two decades.
These figures are not new to most uranium investors but what the article on WNN also mentioned was the current state of affairs regarding advancements in reactor technology. Interestingly, the number of North American companies developing advanced nuclear technology is up by 56% over the past three years and, while the actual reactor technologies differ (molten salt vs high temp gas vs light water), the reality is that small modular reactors are not only becoming viable, they are becoming desirable. These reactors so small that they can be constructed in a factory and delivered on-site. If you want to know a bit more about SMR's, US utility, Energy Northwest, recently sponsored an article on SMR's in the Seattle Times that is useful.
There's more to say on the subject of nuclear's rebound. The pace of Japanese restarts (see news on the seventh restart), the consolidation of China's two nuclear giants, the growing call in the US for nuclear energy to be treated as a national security priority to protect energy supply and, of course, the fact that without nuclear, clean energy has no hope of weaning the World off fossil fuels.
Whether, as the WNN author believes, 2018 is the year of the rebound is hard to say. Uranium industry observer and newsletter writer, Mike Alkin, likens the sector to a coiled spring and recent events like the shuttering of the World's largest, high-grade uranium mine, is tightening that spring even further. At some point, it's going to explode upwards. In the meantime, at Fission we are continuing to push towards pre-feasibility and further de-risking our remarkable project as the company positions for the inevitable upswing in prices.

Examinations and Grades Registration
Grades are decided on the basis of examinations and other ordinary means of evaluation.
Each student must attend his course lectures, and if the number of absences exceeds the given limits, credit for that course is not given. The maximum limit of absences for each course will be decided by the President.
The grades of academic achievement and grade points are as follows:
|Grade Points
|Grade Points
In addition to the above grades, the following grade symbols are used:
* FA: Course failure because of an excessive number of absences
* S, U: Some courses(i. e. Internship course) are credited by either S(Successful) or U(Unsuccessful). (No influence on the evaluation points) * R: Replacing previous credits in case of course repetition (No influence on the CGPA)
A student may repeat courses previously taken in order to improve his academic record. In this case, the previous record will be replaced with R (Re-registered), and the newly taken record will be counted in the CGPA.
Students whose CGPA is below 2.00 will be expelled, in principle.
Academic Warning
The University gives an academic warning to students whose CGPA has fallen below 2.00. And dismissal warning will be issued to students whose scholastic level falls into the categories below. The record card of a student who has received an academic warning will be so marked.
Students Withdrawal
The University permits conditional registration for the student who has received a dismissal warning. Students whose dismissal have been deferred must meet their faculty advisor or department chairman, accompanied by their guardian, and submit a written pledge with joint signature of their guardian, before registering for further courses.
(1) A student who receives three successive academic warnings or whose first semester point is 0.00 will be required to withdraw from
the University(2) A student who does not take a step for the conditional registration
(3) A student who does not register the courses during the prescribed period of each semester without the approval of temporary
leave(4) A student who does not return to school after finishing the period of temporary leave
(5) A student who registered 6 years (12 semesters) but does not fulfill the necessary condition for the graduation
(6) A student who have dual admission at two schools
Checking Attendance
Being present at lectures and laboratory sessions is a student's basic right, and also a responsibility.
A special seat is assigned during the first class each semester to each student by the professor in charge of the course.
Since presence or absence at class is checked according to a seating chart, students should always sit in their assigned place throughout the semester, and they are counted absent if they fail to do so.
The professor checks attendance at the beginning of class. A student who comes within 15 minutes from the beginning of class is considered late, after 15 minutes, absent.
A student who leaves the classroom or laboratory during the class session is counted as absent.
FA System
Every course has the limitation of the absences and excessive absences from a course lead to a grade of FA, and the course is failed.
Absence from each course is permitted during the semester up to twice the number of weekly class hours of the course. For example, a 3-hour-a-week course allows for 6 absences hour the semester; a 2-hour-a-week course allows for 4 absences hour the semester. Coming late to class three times counts for one absence.
During the last semester before a student graduates, the number of permitted absences is doubled. (the graduation year here means the semester confirmed as a graduate-to-be)
If a student exceeds the permissible limits listed above, this is announced by a notice on the designated bulletin board and the offending student is warned. Each student should write down and keep the times he is late or absent from each course and pay special attention to the FA warning.
Notice is given to a student who is absent once or oftener beyond the permissible number, and the grade for the course involved is counted as a failure and is signified by "FA". A student who receives an FA has his name removed from the class list and may not attend the course any longer.
In case the course is made up of both lecture and laboratory, the attendance check is done separately for each. If a student receives an FA in either the lecture or the laboratory, the grade for the whole course is FA.
Officially Approved Absences
Absences due to the following reasons are considered official and are not counted. However, the Office of Academic Affairs of your first major should be informed before the event and a certificate should be attached, or, in unavoidable circumstances, within seven days after the event.
(1) 7 days for the death in the immediate family or an equivalent emergency.
(2) Within 2 weeks for admittance to a hospital for treatment lasting more than 3 days or for other treatment of serious disease.
(3) Days written on the official notice for physical examination prior to military service.

(6) Related period for international meeting for a chief of student activity
(7) Related period for special work on the school newspaper at press time

Web Site Notes
The genealogy information in this website has been 'privatized', the personal details pertaining to persons deemed to be living have been suppressed. If more information is desired the webmaster should be contacted.
When viewing individual names in the genealogy pages the visitor will note that most first names are followed by a number in parenthesis ( ). The number is a reference originally assigned to that individual in the
MacIain Chiefs
genealogy book and was, and is, used to assist in indexing the names. Those names which do not display the number are spouses of the MacKean descendants.
Also, the visitor will note that some surnames may be enclosed by square brackets [ ]. This is typically used where the surname of a spouse is not known, so the descendant's surname is used, enclosed in brackets.
Note that although this website presents the descendants of William MacKean of Argyllshire, Scotland, it contains information on many other McKean/MacKeen/Mckeen/McCain families who are not proven to be connected to William.
When viewing an Individual's information the visitor will notice a small icon in the form of a 'magnifying glass' (
). Clicking on it will present a list of descendants who also have events for that 'place'. In addition, when viewing the list of children of an individual, a 'greater than' sign ( > ) before the child's name will indicate that that person has descendants.
In the many notes attached to the information on individuals you will see references to 'Corn' or 'Cornelius', this is Cornelius McKean of Perry Iowa, the author of the 1902 'McKean Genealogy'. The notes are sometimes signed 'bm.'. This is Bob Marks of Halifax, Nova Scotia, the compiling editor of the present-day 'MacIain Genealogy'.
Mackean descendants are encouraged to

Kasargod, Oct 26, 2015: The childline acting upon a complaint received from a girls family who had filed a complaint with the Town Police stating that the minor girl living at Azadnagar, Mogral here was raped persistently by her own family members.
In yet another monstrous act reported from Kasargod a 52-year-old man was arrested by the cops on charges of raping his minor daughter. Shockingly, his minor son too was nabbed by the cops on the same charges.
The duo was produced before the court and while the father has been remanded to judicial custody till Nov 5, the minor boy has been sent to a juvenile home at Paravanakudam.

|A child always trusts its family especially father and brother are the one who take care of the family. When their attitude is such whom to trust. Shame on such people.

Governor Mike DeWine's proposed budget for Ohio includes a provision that will raise taxes and regulations on all tattoo artists and body piercers throughout the state.
The new provision would require that all current and future tattoo artists and body piercers register with the state for as long as they are operating in that capacity. In addition, they would also have to pay a "registration fee" of $250. Furthermore, the provision would also call for a comprehensive overhaul of the current tattoo and body piercing training standards. This would cover anyone whose profession is defined as a "body artists"
There is currently a medley of rules, regulations, and fees associated with being a tattoo artist in the Buckeye State. Some of the most extensive concern the cleanliness of needles and the heating devices that sterilize them, including that they:
Ensure that weekly tests of the business's heat sterilization devices are performed to determine whether the devices are functioning properly. In having the devices tested, the operator of the business shall use a biological monitoring system that indicates whether the devices are killing microorganisms….The operator shall maintain documentation that the weekly tests are being performed. To comply with the documentation requirement, the documents must consist of a log that indicates the date on which each test is performed and the name of the person who performed the test or, if a test was conducted by an independent testing entity, a copy of the entity's testing report. The operator shall maintain records of each test performed for at least two years.
As previously reported, 2020-2021 Executive Budget was released on March 15th. The budget called for comprehensive spending increases, specifically aimed at assisting children and families. At the time, he stated:
The budget we are sending to the Legislature today is a budget for Ohio's future, and it reflects our need to invest in Ohio and Ohioans,…Our budget plants seeds of hope and opportunity for tomorrow through smart, strategic investments in Ohio today.
Recently, the Ohio Future Foundation hosted a Facebook Forum to discuss and analyze Governor DeWine's Budget. The forum was led by Chairman Jim Renacci and featured Republican Representative Jena Powell of District 80 and Buckeye Institute Senior Fellow Greg Lawson. The latter looked and the proposed budget with concern as:
revenues are coming in well at the moment, the state is assuming that this is going to continue through the next year and some slowdown in the second fiscal year….However, there's a lot of reason for trepidation.
Ohio is one of the few states in the union that is required by law to maintain a balanced budget at all times.

Title: Tatting For Special Occasions: Edgings
Author/Designer: Lindsay Rogers

Page Count: 22
Book Dimensions(ht. x w.): 11 3/4" x 8 1/4"
SUMMARY- She uses the older written notation, but has diagrams to back them up. Instructions are really well broken down and easy to read. The black-and-white photos are pretty grainy and show only the large details - not good enough to see the stitches, but she also provides full-page full-color photos of all the projects all on black backgrounds to really make the designs pop. I came to these three books late, so have had a remarkably difficult time finding any of them. This one was loaned to me through the IOLI Lending Library service. This is the only one of her books I kind of felt "Meh" about. All the patterns are pretty generic - no themes, not even a token butterfly. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

A1 Team Malaysia, one of the 22 nations competing in the World Cup of Motorsport, head to Brno race track in the Czech Republic this weekend for the second round of the 2007/08 season. After the team's difficulties at the opening race in Zandvoort, The Netherlands, the team hopes to have the same dominating form they had at the Brno circuit last season, where the team won both the Sprint and the Feature races in stunning and commanding style.
The Masaryk Automotodrom Brno circuit is the most famous racing circuit in the Czech Republic. It is 5.4 km in length with 14 turns, and this twisty, undulating track is a favourite of motorbike and car racers. Driver Alex Yoong, will once again be on track for Team Malaysia at Brno, with rookie driver Aaron Lim taking up Friday testing duties ahead of the race on Sunday. Yoong, who drove the team to victory during last season's races, will be aiming for a repeat of the two wins, pole position and fastest lap they achieved in Brno last year.
The Zandvoort weekend ended in an uncharacteristic no points finish for the Malaysian team. Whilst battling hard in the feature race, driver Alex Yoong pulled into the pitlane with mechanical issues, which turned out to be terminal for the car. Having crossed the line in 16th in the Sprint, the retirement in the Feature was a disappointing end to a potential points scoring weekend for the team.
Driver Alex Yoong commented: "Last year we finished Zandvoort with zero points too. So we go to Brno to try and do the same job that we did last year and come back with a decent haul of points to kick start our championship.
"Zandvoort was a tough weekend, we had issues with getting our tyres up to temperature during the qualifying and we only realised what the problem was close to the end of the session. Hopefully as we move onto Brno we can put last weekend behind us and get a good result there. Brno is a beautiful smooth circuit and it was very good to us last year as we managed to win both races and get fastest lap. Hopefully it will be kind to us again this season. We are all looking forward to going back there again."
Jack Cunningham, Chief Executive A1 Team Malaysia commented: "Zandvoort was a not a great start to our season, where from qualifying things were against us. However, we're a strong team and we will do our very best to bounce back at Brno, where we had our best race weekend last year. It will not be an easy task to repeat, particularly with the quality of the competition, but we will try. There is a field of very talented drivers in A1GP competing against us, so the racing will be close and tough. We will do our very best to challenge for a strong points finish."
After the rain of Zandvoort, next stop on the calendar is the Brno race track, situated in the beautiful Czech Republic. Last year Team Malaysia had an amazing race, we dominated the weekend with a win in both the Sprint and Feature races, so the Brno track holds special memories for us. This year we can only hope to emulate that success, on the winding, challenging circuit that is the Automotodrom Brno.
The Czech Republic is situated approximately in the geographical centre of Europe and has an area of 78,866 square km. It is a landlocked country from the Baltic and the Adriatic, it shares borders with Germany, Poland, Austria and Slovakia.
Brno is the second-largest city in the Czech Republic and is the capital of South Moravia; it is the gateway to wineries, rolling hills, hiking trails galore, caves and a fantastic race circuit. The track is built in a modern style, winding its way around a natural bowl. The circuit comprises many medium speed corners and a long start finish straight, which starts at the top of a hill and winds down into a valley, then back up the hill through the other side of the valley. The track is banked in places which gives spectators an excellent view.
Brno has a long history of motor racing. The first races were run as a checkpoint for the Vienna – WrocBaw race in 1904; in the 1920s, the town hosted the Brno – Sobesice hillclimb race; and in the 1930s, all races were held on the street course which led through the streets of the western part of the town and neighbouring villages, such as Bosonohy and Zebetín. Races were temporarily suspended from 1937 to 1940. Since 1968, Brno has been a popular fixture on the Czech ETCC circuit, and has held motorcycle races since 1965. The road course ceased to be used at the end of 1986 when all motorsport activities resumed at the permanent track, which was completed in 1985 in the northwest section of the town. It now hosts the Moto GP and A1GP.
However, if you're thinking of heading over to Brno to check out some of the racing, try to combine it with a trip to Prague, which is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world.
Here are some other useful tips if you ever find yourself in Brno:
Overcome the language barrier on your Brno trip:
Hello – Dobry den
Bye – Na shledanou
Please – Prosim
Thanks – Dekuji
The regional gastronomy specialities include – traditional feast cakes, wonderful fruit, roast duck or famous Znojmo gherkins.
In 2006 the winner of the Miss World competition was from the Czech Republic, the country is renowned for having some of the world's most beautiful ladies (not that I'd be looking of course!)
Currently, the lap record around the Brno circuit by an A1GP car is held by Team Malaysia, we set a time of 1:47,296 seconds during the 2006 Sprint Race.
Malaysian Airlines flies to Frankfurt 5 times per week, with regular transfers from there to Brno or Prague airports.
Here is a turn by turn guide to the Brno circuit:
Turn 1 is the fastest corner on the circuit and you only brake after you have started to turn in. Then it's down two gears to 4th as you carry as much speed through the corner as possible. At the exit of turn 1 is where you will find the only bump on this smooth circuit and you have to be careful over it, as it can put you into a spin quite quickly.
Turn 2 is not a corner, just part of the straight.
Turn 3 is about braking into the corner. You must not be too aggressive as you can carry a fair bit of speed. You also have to make sure you are not too far on the right at the exit as you then need to get about half of the track width back to the left for turn 4. Turn 4 is a 90 degree right hander and you need to get on the power as early as possible as it leads onto a straight.
Brake as late as you can for turn 5 and make sure you use lots of curb on the exit.
You lift slightly for turn 6 and on new tyres you are almost flat on the gas through this corner.
For turn 7 you attack the corner straight after turn 6 so you really don't have much time to catch your breath here. It's important to have a good car balance here with good traction as it is a little slippery on the exit.
Turn 8 is where I overtook for the lead and eventual win last year in the feature race. You brake into the corner and must be careful not to carry too much speed here as it leads straight into turn 9.
Turn 9 is all about getting on the power early as you have a long straight that follows.
Turn 10 is a very wide corner and you have a few different lines to choose from. You can overtake here is you get a good drive out of turn 9.
Turn 11 and 12 is an up hill chicane and to be quick here, you need to use as much curb over the apex as possible.
Turn 13 is a straight forward corner except that you have to stay over on the left hand side of the track on the exit. This is because it leads onto turn 14 which is a quick corner that you accelerate through. A well balanced car should allow you to be almost flat with the throttle on new tyres, but beware the car will move a lot through this corner.
PROTON and A1 Team Malaysia further strengthened their winning partnership with the signing of a sponsorship agreement on Friday 28 September 2007 for the next three seasons beginning with the 2007/2008 season.
The agreement reaffirms PROTON's commitment to promoting motorsport in Malaysia while serving as a platform for PROTON to enhance its brand name in the international arena.
The A1GP World Cup of Motorsport is a recognized global motorsport series with more than 22 countries participating this season.
"As a national company we are proud to be able to support our homegrown talents and provide them with all the support they need to develop and grow. They have shown significant improvement over the years and are proving to be a force to be reckoned with. We have every confidence in their ability and our agreement to sponsor the team for another three seasons is proof of our commitment to their development," said PROTON Holdings Berhad Managing Director Dato' Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir at the signing ceremony.
Syed Zainal signed the sponsorship agreement on behalf of PROTON while A1 Team Malaysia was represented by Commercial Director, Owen Leed.
"We came on board as sponsors in the inaugural season which was in 2005/2006. We have enjoyed a good relationship with A1 Team Malaysia throughout this time and are optimistic of their growth and performance in this sport. This partnership is not only beneficial to the team but also for PROTON and Malaysia as it provides an excellent branding avenue for us on an international field," he added.
A1 Team Malaysia will play a prominent role in PROTON's marketing programmes.
"We've always had a close and good relationship with A1 Team Malaysia. They've been involved in our product launches and motorshows in the past and will continue to feature in similar events in the future. Our partnership is one based on quality, performance and achievement and we hope to have our customers and staff share in this experience by creating opportunities for them to get closer to the team whenever and wherever possible." he said. The partnership between PROTON and A1 Team Malaysia will further add value to the company as it facilitates knowledge transfer. Exchange programmes will be drawn up for selected PROTON staff allowing them to glean technical as well as commercial know-how from international experts. The partnership also enhances a learning environment providing an opportunity for PROTON to gain knowledge from the high-profile, high-tech international world of motorsport.
A1 Team Malaysia ended last season as the best Asian team when they, led by drivers Alex Yoong and Fairuz Fauzy, supported by rookie Aaron Lim, finished sixth overall in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport.
"The team did very well last year and we've been working very hard to improve our performance for this season. It's going to be an exciting season all round and with a Malaysian round scheduled for November 25 2007 at Sepang International Circuit, local motorsport fans will have the opportunity to see for themselves the caliber and quality of the sport. We work, through this sponsorship and commercial partnership with PROTON, to represent Malaysia's involvement in this series and to assist PROTON in spreading the word of their excellent range of vehicles," said Leed.
A1GP is the first opportunity in any area of motorsport for nations to compete on a level playing field. It is a racing series where performance is determined by bravery, skill and excellence. The team and driver combine to create their advantage and the winning nation raises its flag in celebration. A1GP brings together 23 nations actively competing on a level playing field.

A June 29 Congressional Budget Office report entitled Longer-Term Effects of the Better Care Reconciliation Act of 2017 on Medicaid Spending projects federal Medicaid spending under the Senate version of the health care reform bill would be 26 percent (or roughly $160 billion) lower in 2026 than under current law. That gap would widen to about 35 percent in 2036.

How to Improve Your Sites Search Engine Rankings.
A website is in essence a blank canvas on the internet. It is where you can create a presence that is both reflective of your character and promotional of your service. Creating an internet presence can be both exiting and frustrating. The learning curve these days isn't as steep as it once was. Plug and play site creation platforms can allow almost anyone access to a highly decorative and creative site.
The difficulty is providing a site that is able to be found amongst the vast number of websites on the internet. The art / science of Search Engine Optimisation, or SEO for short, is enabling your website to be found by the search engines so that they can rank your site above many others for specific search terms. As your website is potentially your greatest advertising tool. It is important to be found.
Website design can be done by web developers and created especially for you and your business, mostly at a great expense. Today, there are a large number of creators developing very flexible templates that could serve your needs very well, at but a fraction of the cost. However, the flexibility of these design also create a minefield of options that could lead your website to be ill structured for the purposes of ease of use by the consumer, or possibly worse, poorly read by the search engines.
Search engines are mathematical algorithms which look for a series of matches. Then they compare your websites against other websites and ranks them by the best matches to the algorithm. Simply put, you need to give the search engines what they want, better than your competition, to beat them in the search rankings.
So what do search engines look for?
This is a question that is often asked, even more often guessed, and frequently changed or updated. In reality we can only know what the search engines are looking for by ranking and analysing what we have done. Reports from Matt Cutts, the head of Googles webspam team, can be very indicative of what we should and should not be doing. Essentially, he is now saying that we need to provide good quality, engaging, and original content that will add value to the internet. Google, being the big daddy of the search engines, could provide us with the most traffic and leads. It is therefore important to follow what they want us to do when we set up our website. Since Google sells advertising on the search results pages, they are very keen to provide relevance to the search results, so as to provide the best service to their advertising clients and search visitors.
How do we then make the search engines happy?
Search engine optimisation is a process that is two fold. There is on site SEO, and off site SEO.
On site SEO
Website structure is an important element to SEO acceptance. As the search engines are becoming more sophisticated, they have begun to look at signals that show well structured the site is and how easily it is to navigate. A well structured site ranks well, as is evident in sites like wikipedia.com or about.com.
Post structure is also important. The search engines need to know what the page / post is about so that it can be compared to pages with a similar topic. This is achieved by reading the H1 header, or to a lesser extent the H2 headers in the article. It is there for important they are used correctly and provide accurate information about the article. Google's algorithm also has a very smart algorithm which finds semantic or relevant terms within the text of the article, and matches them against a large database of terms used for a certain topic. Previous tactics employed by article writers, aiming to be ranked for a search term, would continually repeat a phrase or term to show what the article is about. This is now known as over optimisation and will be penalised by the search engines.
The meta description is probably not as important for the search engines, but it becomes the small text component under your search result. This is where you get to tell people what the page is about, so make it count. You have 156 characters to convince people to visit your site over the others on the search results page.
Off Site SEO
Links to and from your website also creates a profile which can show the search engines how well liked and how relevant your site or page is. For this reason many sites created a vast number of links back to their site to rank it. This practice has largely been killed, the search engines can now see that a link is from a link network and unrelated to your site or article and deems it an unnatural link. Thus penalising your site in the process. Naturally developed links, by having other websites linking back to your site as a citation or recognition of a good article, post or page, are still accepted. The importance is that the links are from relevant sites or articles.
Setting up and developing a website is still fun, exiting and fulfilling. The fact that your website needs to be found, might mean that you need to find out how to properly please the SEO gods.
SEO is not difficult but it can be time consuming and costly to learn and implement. For that reason there are many SEO based business willing to assist, including LIP Services.
If you have any more questions regarding setting up your website, or updating your SEO profile, feel free to contact us here at LIP Services. It's what we do.

North Lincolnshire Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) has a team of clinical psychologists dedicated to meeting the emotional health and wellbeing needs of all Looked After Children (LAC) in North Lincolnshire.
The team provides psychological assessment and therapeutic support to young people Looked After and their foster families. We work closely with North Lincolnshire Children's Services to ensure a timely and targeted response to young people and their carers. We provide consultation and advice to the network of professionals working with LAC including social workers, foster carers, educational staff and the designated nursing team for LAC.
Together with Children's Services we monitor the emotional health and wellbeing of all LAC in North Lincolnshire. This is done through annual screening using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and through multi-agency meetings with children's services, health and education.
Social Workers contact the LAC CAMHS team directly to request consultation and advice and we meet with them for a face-to-face consultation within 10 weeks of the initial phone call to the service.
We offer attachment and evidence based dyadic interventions to young people and their carers including Theraplay and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). We also offer individualised therapy for young people who may be experiencing mental health concerns as a result of trauma and loss and we use a combination of evidence based interventions in these cases.
We provide holistic assessments which includes psychological formulation of the presenting concerns taking into account the young person's early experiences in relationships and the impact on their overall development and attachment security. We also carry out neurodevelopmental assessments and diagnosis for Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
We work with our CAMHS colleagues and with the Children's Services to manage risk.
We provide training annually on Attachment and Development and Mental Health and Resilience to social workers, residential care staff, foster carers and other local authority employees.

Because this season of La Jolla Music Society's SummerFest is Cho-Liang "Jimmy" Lin's last as music director, all the concerts will have special resonance to them. But there's one that will likely stand out.
In curating "My Favorite Playlist," which will be performed Tuesday at Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, Lin was especially adventurous in his selections.
"I love this program," he said, speaking from Chamber Music Northwest in Portland last month. "It's not your meat-and-potatoes Beethoven and Mozart concert. It's really something unusual. And all the musicians are truly first-class. I'm excited to be in the audience for this concert."

Spring Into Energy Efficiency
Spring cleaning is not only a chance to tidy up the house, it's also a great time to make your home more energy efficient. Here are a few tips for springtime energy savings.
Dust and clean in new places
Clean the dust and dirt from light bulbs and lighting fixtures. Make sure they're turned off first. Clean bulbs and fixtures run cooler and use less electricity.
While you're at it, replace incandescent bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). Compact fluorescents cost a little more but they use 75 percent less electricity and last up to 10 times longer. CFLs also produce less heat so you can save on air conditioning costs when the weather gets warmer.
Vacuum around the bottom of your refrigerator and clear the intake vent. Then unplug the refrigerator, move it away from the wall and clean the coils in back. If it's really dirty, use soap and water but don't put the plug in until everything is dry. This will make the refrigerator run more efficiently and use less electricity.
Clean out the exhaust hose at the back of your clothes dryer. First disconnect the hose from the wall and then vacuum out the lint and dust. It's also a good idea to check the vent on the outside of the house and clear that out if necessary.
Computers, CD/DVD players and televisions will run more efficiently when clean, so dust them thoroughly. These appliances use electricity even when they're not turned on so you can save energy by plugging them into a power strip and flipping the "off" switch when not in use. This can save up to 50 percent of their electricity usage.
Using a mixture of vinegar and water, clean the inside of your dishwasher, including the racks and door. By doing this, you'll be saving energy and water. Make sure to unplug the unit or switch off the power before you clean.
Put up a clothes line
Use the warmth of the sun instead of electricity to dry your clothes. For the maximum amount of sunlight, run the line north and south. It's important to make sure the clothes line extends far enough to hold your laundry but not it's so long that it will sag in the middle. Remember, the clothes are wet when they're hanging.
Set up a compost bin
You can recycle yard waste and certain food scraps by composting in your backyard. Compost bins are inexpensive, easy to set up and reduce the amount of trash that needs to be hauled off to a landfill. Plus, the decomposed materials can be used as a nutritious supplement for your garden, lawn and house plants. For more information about composting, see answers.usa.gov.

Teamwork—A Rewarding Way to Get Things Done!
Change of Seasons Presents Safety Issues
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. You've probably heard this expression many times but what does it really mean? And how does it apply to teamwork and cooperation?
It's really pretty simple. We can accomplish more and have greater success by working together. This applies to any type of group activity, whether it's a school play, a basketball team or an after-school club. Each member of the team has something unique to contribute and the group can't operate effectively unless everyone does his or her job.
There are many factors that make for a successful group experience. Here are just a few of them:
Leadership: An effective leader, who sets a good example for others, is one of the most important parts of a team. The leader creates a positive environment and makes the activity fun. The leader should also know how to create roles for team members and show appreciation for everyone in the group.
Goals: Team members should create and agree upon goals. These goals should be communicated clearly by the leader so that everyone is on "the same page."
Establishing roles: Not everyone can be the star of the show, the quarterback or the lead singer. Someone has to work "behind the scenes" in order for the team to be successful. These roles are just as important as any other. So it's essential that each individual contribution is appreciated and recognized.
Team spirit: Successful teams openly support each other, creating an atmosphere of fun, appreciation and collaboration. Whether it's a high five, a few encouraging words or a pat on the back, everyone likes to be recognized as an important part of the team.
It takes time and effort to put a team or group together, have it run smoothly and work toward a common goal. And although there are always some bumps in the road along the way, the rewards are great. There's nothing quite like the feeling of working hard with your classmates, achieving your goals and then celebrating afterward.
Together. It's a lot more fun that way.

Springtime is finally here and the weather is nice, so we're spending more and more time outdoors. It's also a time to be careful and aware of potential safety issues.
Downed power lines
Winter storms often cause downed power lines and damaged trees that can pull down these lines, so keep an eye out for possible hazards. Here in the Northeast, April and May usually include periods of heavy rain that can also damage trees and power lines.
The important things to remember are:
Gas safety
Gas leaks are very rare but, if your home uses natural gas, it is important to have an annual safety inspection of inside piping and meters. Call 1-800-732-3400 to schedule an inspection.
It's also a good idea to install carbon-monoxide detectors in the home and, if you already have them, spring is a great time to check the batteries.
Make sure the vents and exhaust ducts of your appliances are not blocked. This includes water heaters, gas stoves and clothes dryers.
Call before you dig
Spring is a time for planting, cleaning up the yard, putting up fences, and installing decks and patios. At least two days before you start digging, call 811 to check for underground gas lines, electric power lines, water pipes and telephone lines. Some of them can be just a few feet under the surface.
By calling ahead, you can avoid injury, property damage and service interruptions for your whole neighborhood. Even a small dent or scrape can cause damage, so it's best to be cautious with any type of digging.

Sustainability Starts with You-Celebrate Earth Day
Want to be a part of the largest public event in the world? Then help celebrate Earth Day on April 22 and join more than 1 billion others who are rallying for a healthy, sustainable environment. What do we mean by sustainable? A sustainable world includes energy conservation, recycling, environmental awareness and clean energy.
Earth Day was founded in 1970 by Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin. Outraged at the massive environmental damage caused by a large oil spill in California, he organized a movement to encourage awareness about air and water pollution. He put together a staff of 85 people to promote this cause.
Today, the Earth Day Network, based in Washington, D.C., coordinates activities in 192 countries around the world. Its Global Advisory Committee includes a few folks you may have heard of: actor Leonardo DiCaprio, Shaquille O'Neal of the Boston Celtics and folksinger Pete Seeger.
In the U.S., the Earth Day Network assists more than 30,000 teachers, coordinating thousands of local activities throughout the year. Although environmental problems may seem overwhelming, the solution starts on a small scale: in your home, in your school and in your community.
What can you do? First, it's important to learn all you can about saving energy and protecting the environment. Read newspaper stories and Web sites that explain these issues. Talk to your friends and family, and discuss these topics in class.
Then—with the help of your fellow teachers, family members and community leaders—do what you can to help. It can be something small, like recycling a plastic bottle or riding a bike to school. Or you can get involved with something bigger, like helping to organize an environmental club or event at school. Saving the Earth is too big a job for one person or even one city. But if everybody pitches in, we can all make a big difference.

A Word from Our Teachers
I definitely liked the games. I pulled them up on my SMART Board and the kids loved it. It's good because it gives an initial 'bonus prompt' they can answer—kids got a kick out of that. There were some excellent activities under Energy Efficiency as well.
I thought the materials were very age appropriate; and the language, the pictures, the eBooks were very helpful. I also thought the FAQ section was nice because you could use that as a form of assessment before you even started the lesson, and then as we went through it we could go back and reassess.
The experiment section was really good I found. I thought it was helpful how they provided a clear objective, and the procedure I needed to follow for the lesson.

It's April! Can you believe it? The last few weeks have been filled with visitors, work, decisions and enjoying the nice weather.
Apparently Colorado doesn't get many April showers. We had a giant snowstorm that made me late for work (u.g.h.) but the only other non-70-degree weather has just been the wind.
At the moment, I am in the throes of a giant decision I don't want to make–what graduate program to choose.
My personal deadline for the decision is tomorrow and it's making me sick.
(Or maybe that's all the leftover Cadbury eggs…I am a helpless slave to Easter candy…)
It's kind of coming down to the money–one of the programs has an (expensive) internship abroad but the other one gave me a sizable scholarship.
There are other factors, of course.
And I am L.U.C.K.Y. that I get to choose between TWO amazing programs. Several months ago I was sure graduate school was an impossibility for me (my lack of focus in my undergraduate degree really bit me in the ass there) and somehow, I got into TWO. My TWO top.
Stay TWOned.
(Not funny? Ha).

Many answers to hair problems offered by the general market are based on drugs or only serve to camouflage the hair condition.
Our approach is based on skin care to provide advanced treatment in hair thinning.
As an extension of the facial skin, the scalp requires the same attention and care. Our range of treatments and products are designed to strengthen, nourish and treat the hair from its root.
The health of the scalp will be reflected in your hair.
The most common three hair thinning signs are fewer hair, finer hair and certain areas of the scalp unhealthy for hair growth.
Systems that we offer for the treatment of these three signs are:
This is a regenerative treatment descaling production of follicle fat.
The peeling generates a thermal effect which produces vasodilation in the treated area, increasing blood flow and eliminating waste. It also has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, oxygenating and relaxing effect that produces greater absorption of the active ingredients. This is the first step to begin treatment for hair renewal.
The steam in contact with the scalp provides an opening of the hair follicle. This allows, on one hand, that the products penetrate better into the scalp and secondly that all impurities present are eliminated. This technique is highly recommended in the treatment of dandruff and dry and damaged hair as it provides moisture.
The method of INDIBA is a radio frequency, which produces a rise in temperature that expands and increases vascularisation of the treated area.
It is an oxygenating and regenerating antioxidant and increases the ability to absorb blood and increases transport of oxygen. It is therefore capable of promoting the regeneration of different types of tissues which is useful to prevent and stop alopecic processes.
This device is used as an active element for its soothing and antiseptic actions that generate ozone in small quantities.
These rays of invisible spectrum light penetrate the skin by increasing blood flow, oxygenation and nutrient supply to the tissues. The irradiation produces a temperature rise in tissue and vasodilation occurs creating a better reach to nutrients.
This removes greasy hair, activates microcirculation and hair follicles, kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores, creates an increase of oxygen, and acts in preventing outbreaks. This treatment brushes off negative ions preventing dandruff and other hair diseases. It also prevents frizz and eliminates static electric hair.
It is ideal for home maintenance.
The sessions and intervals are what mark the success of the treatment resulting in a high level of hair restoration.

Research Talk - Using Personal Informatics Data in Collaboration with People with Different Expertise
Posted on Thursday, February 1, 2018

Abstract: Smartphones and wearable devices enable people to keep more detailed data about their everyday behaviors and decisions. This data can provide insights to help people make informed decisions when pursuing health goals individually and in collaboration with health professionals. However, current personal informatics tools have been designed primarily for personal use, and using this data collaboratively creates new challenges. My research has examined collaborative use of personal informatics data in clinical settings, workplace health programs, and social context. In this talk, I will discuss current practices and barriers to using personal informatics data in collaborative settings and present results from field studies with new systems to support collaboration among patients and their providers. Current systems often do not provide enough flexibility to support the varied health goals people have. These systems also rarely allow people to communicate and implement their tracking and review goals with health experts. To address these problems, designers must provide mechanisms that help people and health professionals communicate their goals and effectively summarize data, helping them focus on an individual's goals as they collaborate.
Bio: Christina Chung is a PhD candidate in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, and a member of the DUB group. Her research in Human Computer Interaction and Health Informatics helps people make sense of personal informatics data individually and collaboratively. Her work has received a best paper award and honorable mention at ACM conferences and has been covered in the media, such as CNN, Geekwire, and Newsweek. She holds a M.B.A and B.B.A in the Department of Information Management at the National Taiwan University. She also worked as a software engineer in IBM Research Collaboratory Taiwan on health and wellness service innovation research prior to her PhD.
