Warriors vs Rockets – 5/6/19 NBA Pick, Odds, and Predictions
Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets NBA Basketball Monday, May 6th, 2019 (9:35pm et) Current Odds: Houston -1.5, Total Points 220.5
Externally, there has been a rush to absolve Warriors guard Stephen Curry of his ineffective play, with the dislocated finger on his left hand and sprained ankle he suffered in the first round against the Los Angeles Clippers serving as convenient excuses for those seeking them.
For Golden State, the explanations are much simpler and direct.
In Game 3 of this Western Conference semifinal series between the Warriors and Houston Rockets, Curry shot 7 of 23, missed 7 of 9 3-pointers, and misfired on a layup and blew an uncontested dunk down the stretch of a 126-121 overtime loss Saturday at Toyota Center. Curry has shot 35.3 percent overall and 25.0 percent from deep during the series, with his errant shooting in the Warriors' loss continuing a trend.
"He just had a tough night," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. "No matter how good you are, you're going to have some bad games, and just a tough night for him. It just didn't happen."
Said Curry, who's averaging 18.3 points in the series: "It was just one of those nights. I was aggressive early, tried to get to my spots and take shots. Over the course of my 44 minutes, it wasn't my night.
"We still had a couple of chances to win down the stretch. Obviously, I'm thinking of what I can do better and elevate my game, and I'm looking forward to Monday."

The Warriors might need both Curry and Klay Thompson to relocate their accuracy in Game 4 Monday at Toyota Center to keep Houston from squaring the series. The Splash Brothers are shooting a combined 28.8 percent (15-for-52) from deep in the series, and their lack of reliable marksmanship is heaping additional pressure on Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala to keep the Warriors humming offensively.
That trio was nearly enough in Game 3, with Durant posting a game-high 46 points, Green notching his sixth career postseason triple-double (19 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists) and Iguodala nailing 3 of 4 3s en route to 16 points. But, ultimately, if the Warriors are to thwart the Rockets, Curry must reclaim his form and reliability.
Houston uncovered the scoring to complement James Harden in the form of Eric Gordon, whose two-way performance proved vital in the first round against the Utah Jazz and remains a foundation to the Rockets' success. Gordon scored a playoff-career-high 30 points in Game 3, drilling 7 of 14 3s to keep Houston afloat until Harden got going. And his defense remains stout.
"I have to do that every game," Gordon said. "It's all about bringing something to the table offensively, defensively every single night and give yourself a chance to win."
Oftentimes, Gordon is easy to overlook. On a team with outsized personalities and performers, his understated approach slips through the cracks. But Gordon is averaging 24.0 points on 41.2 percent 3-point shooting this series, and his teammates are fully aware of his production.
"Gordy tough," Rockets guard Chris Paul said. "I think sometimes we've got more confidence in Gordy than he's got in himself. He has unlimited range: when you kick it to him and he's five steps behind the 3-point line, that's a regular shot for him. Everybody else be like, 'Wow!' We're used to it. And he can drive, he can defend. We just really appreciate him around here."

140TiP - CheckMate 384: A phase 3b/4 dose-frequency optimization trial of nivolumab in advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (ID 261)
12:30 - 13:00 | Author(s): I. Chang
- Abstract
Nivolumab, an anti-programmed death-1 antibody, is approved for the treatment of various cancers. Based on efficacy and safety findings across multiple tumor types, the approved dose of nivolumab was, until recently, 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W). In September 2016, the approved nivolumab dose in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), melanoma, and renal cell carcinoma was modified in the United States to a flat dose of 240 mg Q2W. Reducing the frequency of nivolumab administration may increase convenience and compliance while maintaining efficacy and safety in patients receiving long-term nivolumab therapy. CheckMate 384, a randomized, open-label phase 3b/4 trial (NCT02713867) was designed to evaluate less frequent nivolumab dosing (480 mg every 4 weeks [Q4W] vs 240 mg Q2W) in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC following up to 12 months of prior treatment with nivolumab 3 mg/kg or 240 mg Q2W.
Trial design:
Eligible patients are adults with advanced/metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0–2 who received prior intravenous nivolumab 3 mg/kg or 240 mg Q2W for up to 12 months and achieved a complete or partial response or stable disease confirmed on 2 consecutive assessments. Patients with untreated, symptomatic central nervous system metastases are not eligible. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive intravenous nivolumab in 1 of 2 flat-dose schedules: 240 mg Q2W or 480 mg Q4W. Randomization is stratified by histology and response to pre-study nivolumab treatment (complete/partial response vs stable disease). Endpoints are shown in the table. The primary objective is to compare 6-month and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates between patients who received nivolumab 480 mg Q4W and those who received 240 mg Q2W. Planned enrollment is 620 patients.rnTable: 140TiPStudy endpointsrn

In the first part of this extensive interview with UK Hip-Hop pioneer MC Mell'O', the London rapper talked about coming up in the early-80s through the famous Covent Garden b-boy scene and his initial forays into the music game. In this next instalment, Mell'O' speaks in a little more detail about his debut 1990 album "Thoughts Released (Revelation 1)" and also his subsequent deal with Jazzie B of Soul II Soul fame's Funki Dred imprint which should have led to the release of his second album.
At the time the first album was released Hip-Hop was still very political and artists were including a lot of social commentary in their music. How did being a young black teenager growing-up in Britain at the time impact the rhymes contained on "Thoughts Released"?
"When we were recording that stuff in the 80s and the beginning of the 90s we were disenfranchised. We were young and wanting to be optimistic in our youth but not seeing a place for ourselves in the future of Britain unless we made that place for ourselves. We were consistently told by the media, the politicians, the images on TV, that our place was at the bottom of society. We weren't supposed to be thinking about being lawyers, doctors or something like that. Racism was blatantly around us in day to day society and it was still acceptable to a lot of people. So while we were recording that music we were also going through an awakening that a lot of people in our generation went through at the time thanks to Hip-Hop. So at the age of 17 I was reading Eldridge Cleaver's biography and Huey P. Newton's biography. I was reading a lot of books and at the same time a whole generation of black teenagers were going through the same awakening and finding out about the strength that is inherent in us as a people and as human beings. Hip-Hop gave us strength and the ability to access or imagination and creativity. We were seeing injustice around us and through our music we wanted to help awaken others and give people a message of strength and unity and empowerment. Hip-Hop was about bringing people together and allowing us to learn from each other at a time when society was full of divide and conquer, exploitation, consumerism and the destruction of communities in Thatcher's Britain. So with our music we went into ourselves and we were really honest about how we were feeling."
One track that always really stood out to me on "Thoughts Released" was "Total Eclipse Of The Art" because at the time it wasn't commonplace to hear British artists necessarily talking about the politics of the music business…
"It was the reality. That was one of the truest songs on the album. Every single word of it. I was addressing the industry who were literally trying to totally eclipse our art. They planned and schemed to keep the scene apart. They tried to turn artist against artist. It was a divide and conquer thing. Covent Garden helped keep the scene together. Certain clubs helped keep the scene together. The industry really wanted to keep the scene apart from everything else because they really didn't understand the music that was coming out of our scene at the time and they definitely didn't know how to control it. Labels tried to keep us away from the Stateside acts when those artists came over because they didn't want us building relationships with artists that were outside of their control. I was making a claim with that track to something that was ours. DJ Pogo looped up the track and I dropped the first verse right there. I went home to write the rest, came back and laid it down. Then we went to the studio to record it properly. The finished studio version that you hear on the album was done in one take. That track was an anthem for everyone at the time who loved Hip-Hop and wanted to see it being respected and not pushed aside and eclipsed by the industry."
The only single to be released off the album was 1990's "Open Up Your Mind" which to me sat alongside what was being recorded by the likes of Soul II Soul etc in terms of really capturing that unique British Hip-Hop street soul sound of the time…
"Wow! That's the biggest props I've ever been given about that track. Now, let me tell you how that got put together. I always had a real problem being produced by someone and having no control over it. But Dave Lee who ran the label put us in touch with the Blacksmith brothers because they said they wanted a single on the album that had some sort of commercial viability. The Blacksmith guys were making big noise at the time doing swingbeat and R&B production for UK artists like Caron Wheeler and Junior Giscombe and they were also doing a lot of remixes for US acts on their UK single releases. So I went to their house in Brixton, sat down with them and we went through all these different tracks trying to find something that had that commercial appeal but that I was also happy with. I just kept thinking to myself 'This is swingbeat, man! I don't want to make a swingbeat record!' They were trying out different melodies, I wrote a verse which we tried over other tracks, and then they made a swingbeat type version which I wrote the other verses of the record to. That first swingbeat version is on one of the two "Open Up Your Mind" 12″ singles that got released but I wasn't really happy with it when we first recorded it. I wasn't really complaining about it so to speak, but I wasn't totally happy with it either. Now, Blacksmith were also known for doing what they called a Brixton Bass Mix of their tunes and also an Upso Mix, so I went to them and said I wanted a remix done. I was trying to tell them my credibility was on the line (laughs). So they told me to leave it with them. Next thing, they called me to come to their yard and they played me the remix they'd done. The first time I heard that version that appeared on the album I was so happy! It was exactly the sound I was looking for."
But although it was the only track on "Thoughts Released" not to be produced by Sparki it didn't sound out of place at all…
"But if it the original version we made had been put on the album it would've stood out a mile (laughs). But that remix really fitted in well alongside what Sparki was doing with some really funky, soulful production. It really makes me happy when I hear people say that track stands alongside what was going on at the time in the UK with acts like Soul II Soul and Omar. That single could've done a lot more but the label didn't want to give us the money to shoot a video. The other mistake they made is that they didn't press up enough copies of the and it sold out during its first week of release. If the label had been ready the single would've sold more copies in that first week and we might have charted with it. But it took the label another two weeks to get another batch of the single pressed up so it lost some momentum in terms of the initial sales."
The lyric on there "Frustration will get the best of ability…" has always stayed with me over the years like some of those classic gems from emcees such as KRS-One and Chuck D…
"That record was so special to me and it meant a lot in terms of what I was saying in the lyrics, so it's always really heartwarming when I hear people tell me that record is still special to them as well after all these years. It also shows me that the sense of purpose I felt at the time when I was recording the album carried through because what I was feeling when I wrote those rhymes has been felt by the people who were hearing it wherever it was they may have been in the UK and beyond. Some people ask me today how I wrote rhymes like that about culture and society at such a young age, but I was just being honest about how I felt. I wasn't worrying about how the music was going to be received because I knew there were people out there who felt the same way I did. I have more trouble today being totally honest in my lyrics because you're constantly worrying about being judged and criticised. But back then I didn't worry about any of that."
You signed with Jazzie B's Funki Dred label in 1992 to record and release your second album. Did you approach the project any differently to the first album?
"That first album has a timelessness about it. The second album was perhaps even more powerful because we still had that youthful fearlessness about us but we also had a little more maturity. There were tracks on there that were more political than what was heard on the first album. I'm thinking now of tracks like "Apostle Of Vindication" and "Pain & Misery" which sampled Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy"."
At the time Jazzie had a lot of industry clout because of what he'd achieved worldwide with Soul II Soul and there were a lot of high expectations for your second album. When that deal went bad and the album was shelved that must have been an extremely turbulent time for you both personally and as an artist?
"I went from the highest high to the lowest of feelings during that time. I remember taking my second album to the studio to play it for Jazzie B for the first time and Fab 5 Freddy was there. By the third track Freddy was dancing around all over the place telling me I had the best sh*t in the world. At the time, I had no idea what was about to happen with the label. I'd met all my requirements, I'd handed everything in on time. I'm raring to go. The public were hungry for what was coming next. Then next thing we know, MCA pulled out of the deal that they had with Motown / Funki Dred but they let Jazzie B keep what he already had so he could work it himself. But there was a recession on and maybe man didn't want to spend what he was supposed to spend. At the time as well I think Jazzie B was feeling a little down because most of the Soul II Soul crew that had made that group great in its original form had left. So anyway, the third Soul II Soul album comes out and doesn't do too well and this is happening at the same time everyone is going mad about my album in Jazzie's own studio. He wasn't willing to spend the money he needed to spend to push the album, but he also wasn't willing to let the project go so that I could put it out through someone else. I really couldn't understand at the time why Jazzie couldn't have let me put the album out through another label and made a little money back from it. I really didn't know what was going through his mind. But that situation did get deep and if you listen back to the track "What Can I Do" that came out on the "First Chronicles Of D.E.T.T." EP in 1994 you can hear just how deep it did get. At the time it felt terrible just being left on the shelf like that. But saying that, if that album had come out when it was supposed to, my life today could be very different, and I can't say whether it would be different in a good way or a bad way."
After the Funki Dred deal you recorded a couple of releases for the Stereo MC's Natural Response label in 1994 but then went under the radar for the second half of the decade. Did you make a conscious decision to step away from the music after your experiences?
"From the mid-90s more mature things started happening in my life like having children and travelling to other countries, things that changed my life and really put me more in touch with the essence of who I am. From 1993 to 1995 I was constantly touring with a live band called Izit all over Europe which was brilliant. The period of 1994 when I was recording for the Natural Response label was a fight everyday. It was a fight to get them to do a video for "I Hear Voices". It was a fight to get them to agree to pay for studio time. Everything was a fight. But the personal things that were happening to me then held much more importance to me in my life than the music business did at the time."
The third and final part of this interview is coming soon.

(Metro News) QC cops gets flood rescue training
October 23, 2009 9:56 am
MANILA, Oct. 23 — Sixty policemen of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) are undergoing intensified flood rescue operations training at the La Mesa Dam lagoon in Fairview, Quezon City as part of QC Mayor Feliciano Sonny Belmontes directive to intensify disaster preparedness in the city.
QCPD director Chief Superintendent Elmo Dan Diego said the Quezon City Disaster Coordinating Council (CDCC) and the Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) have tapped members of the local police force to undergo week long training particularly on flood rescue operations with the recent acquisition of ten rubber boats by the Quezon City government.
The raging flood waters brought by the wrath of tropical storm Ondoy taught us lessons learned and we do not want to be caught unaware when similar catastrophes strike, San Diego added.
San Diego said that at the height of the floods spawned by tropical storm Ondoy, several Quezon City residents were trapped on rooftops by the ocean-like flood waters, especially in low-lying areas and were in dire need of well-trained rescuers on rubber boats.
With this training, our policemen will now be more prepared to respond to similar incidents brought by natural disasters and at the same time, the training will help us assess strengths and weaknesses of our disaster response preparedness, San Diego said. (PNA)/V3/JCA/

Global Forex Trading, or GFT Forex, has an impressive DealBook 360, a 20 MB-plus downloadable trading engine that powers the company's demo, mini and standard accounts. There are two professional platforms: GFT Prime, for institutional money managers, and Strategy Runner, a rule-setting add-on.
There are no platform tutorials per se but the company does provide general background information on major financial markets and a glossary. Alternatively, to get the trader comfortable, GFT Forex offers the personal touch. An account representative calls and patiently takes the novice through the platform and the Forex market even before a potential trader can download the free demo. GFT seeks to foster a relationship between company and client. The software demonstration with an account representative is the key to becoming familiar with the DealBook platform. It is so laden with chart options, graphics tools, and multiple drop-down menus that it would be difficult to navigate solo. Within the platform there are 60 currency pairs from which to choose.
Also, some great options are available on the DealBook that are not found on other platforms. These include a voice-recognition feature and something called ITX (Inter Trader eXchange), which allows clients to trade with each other. In other words, a client can set a bid price and another client can agree to a trade, thus setting up one's own spreads.
While the registration on GFT is fairly simple and efficient, it is only for the trader who is serious about Forex and wants to become more adept at playing the market.

Piling waste posed a "grave danger" to people in Nigeria, a national newspaper said, putting them at risk of environmental hazards and epidemics.
As Africa's most populous country struggled to come to grips with the problem, recycling solid waste could help prevent disasters, Nigeria's Guardian said in May 2019.
The article made a number of claims about waste in Nigeria. We checked four of them.
The article's statistics were gathered during a development awards ceremony in Lagos in March 2019, its author Adaku Onyenucheya told Africa Check.
She could not recall who had provided the figures as a recording had been lost. But she said she had been referring to waste in general, not only solid waste as the headline of the report suggests.
The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization defines waste as "material left over after products have been made by producers and after they have been used by consumers".
We traced the figure of 62 million tonnes to a 2012 World Bank report titled What a waste: A global review of solid waste management.
But the statistic was for sub-Saharan Africa. The report estimated that Nigeria alone produced 40,959 tonnes of municipal solid waste a day, or 14.95 million tonnes a year.
It defined municipal solid waste as waste collected by municipalities from residences, industries, institutions and construction.
The 2018 edition of the report has data for 2016, when solid waste generation in Nigeria rose to 34.6 million tonnes. But it did not have data on non-solid or liquid waste, according to the bank's Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience unit.
We therefore rate this claim as incorrect based on the most recent publicly available national data.
|How were these figures calculated?
To arrive at its most recent estimate, the World Bank relied on a number of sources. These included peer-reviewed journal articles and cited academic papers. Where data was not available, it relied on its studies and those from other donors or project documents.
Models were then used to project future waste generation. These suggested that Nigeria would produce 54.8 million tonnes of solid waste in 2030, and 107 million tonnes in 2050.
There was an acute lack of data on waste management in Nigeria and many other African countries, said Prof Oladele Osibanjo, president of the Lagos-based Waste Management Society of Nigeria.
The National Bureau of Statistics told Africa Check it did not have data on waste generated by Nigerians.
Waste generation was a "highly variable parameter" affected by factors such as the city and even the seasons, said Dr Chidozie Nnaji, a water resources and environmental engineering researcher at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Nnaji said most waste generation studies were localised, and there was a danger in "over-generalising" their results.
In its 2018 report, the World Bank estimated that each person in Nigeria generated an average of 0.5 kilograms of solid waste a day in 2016.
The report gave Nigeria' population as 186 million people in 2016. But the country's statistics bureau estimated the 2016 population at just over 193 million. There's been no official population count since 2006, and those figures were mired in controversy.
Other sources showed that each person's average waste generation was close to the claim, analysts told Africa Check.
A survey of waste management in Abuja by Chibueze Ogwueleka, published in 2013, estimated it at 0.63 kilograms per person.
Obiora Ezeudu is an environmental engineer and researcher at the centre for environmental management and control, University of Nigeria.
He told Africa Check that this study "assumed that Abuja has equal representation of all Nigerian entities in terms of culture and ethnicity and socio-economic". These factors influenced the waste generation rate, Ezeudu said.
Dr Thaddeus Nzeadibe, a senior lecturer in the geography department of the University of Nigeria, said Ogwueleka's rate of 0.63 kilograms per person was a sound estimate.
"I don't seem to have an idea of any other study done on Nigeria's per capita waste generation," said Nzeadibe, who has a doctorate in environmental management. "His rate is a clear representation of Nigeria's per capita waste generation."
But he added that "because it was done in 2013, it is possible the rate would change if the study was done in 2019".
In 2016, the National Bureau of Statistics estimated Lagos's population at 12.6 million.
But this figure is contested. The Lagos state government's website says the population is 21 million, the number given in the Guardian's article.
What could explain this difference? Dr Isiaka Olanrewaju is the data agency's director of household statistics. He told Africa Check that to estimate Nigeria's 2016 population, the agency used both its own survey and projections from the National Population Commission.
But Lagos took a different approach, Olarewaju said.
"The commission based its calculations on who was seen physically during the census, whereas Lagos state based its calculations on those who were usual residents of Lagos state, whether seen or not seen during the period."
The Lagos Waste Management Authority is responsible for the state's waste collection and disposal.
Dr Ola Oresanya has headed the agency for more than 10 years. He chose to use a "safe" population figure 20 million, and estimated that an average person in Lagos generated 0.5 kilograms of waste daily.
But this "may have increased to 0.6 kilograms because of an increase in affluence and rate of generation", he told Africa Check. The city produced about 10,000 to 12,000 tonnes of all forms of waste a day, he estimated.
But, again, Lagos's population is contested, with estimates ranging from 12 million to 21 million. And the World Bank's 2018 report estimated that only 10% of the city's waste was collected.
We therefore rate the claim as unproven.

Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) "Leitz Wetzlar"
Ernst Leitz took over management of the "Optical Institue" in Wetzlar 150 years ago and renamed it "Ernst Leitz Wetzlar" in 1869. As a tribute to this anniversary, Leica Camera offers a limited production of Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) cameras with the traditional "Leitz Wetzlar" engraving atop the camera.
This production will be limited to 150 cameras worldwide. All other technical specifications are identical to the standard-production camera.
The Leica M Monochrom has a 24-megapixel resolution on a monochrom CMOS sensor similar to the Leica M. As the M Monochrom has no need for color filters, it needs no interpolation for the calculation of luminance values. This results in brilliant images which have 100% more details and contrast than what is possible in color photography.
Up to ISO 25,000
The new Leica M Monochrom opens up new dimensions for available-light photography with its combination of low noise up to ISO 25,000, a bright viewfinder, a low-vibration shutter release and fast lenses.
Full Visual Control with Live View
The high-resolution 3" monitor with 921,600 pixels ensures that photographers have complete control of composition, exposure, focusing and depth of field. The Live View also offers two additional focusing methods. The up to 10x magnification in Live View Zoom mode enables full control of the sharpness of details in the image on the monitor or the closest focusing distance. In Live View Focus Peaking mode, sharply focused edges in the image are highlighted by colored lines.
Full HD Video in Black and White
The new Leica M Monochrom captures high-quality, full-HD video in black and white. With the optional Leica microphone adapter set, one can be assured of perfect sound.
2 GB Buffer Memory
With it's high-capacity 2GB buffer memory and Leica Maestro processor, the camera captures sequences 3 times faster than its predecessor. In addition, the new processor enables extremely fast display of the captured images in review mode.
Sapphire Crystal Glass
The LC display is made of scratch-resistant and almost unbreakable sapphire crystal which has been treated with an anti-reflective protective coating that ensures that photographers can check their images in any lighting situation.
All current M accessories for the Leica M (Typ 240) can be used with the Leica M Monochrom. These accessories include finger loops, electronic view finder, ever-ready cases, flash and straps. In addition, R-lenses can be used on the Leica M Monochrom with the Leica M-Adapter-R.
The essentials:
- Compact, digital rangefinder system camera with video function
- 24MP black and white CMOS sensor in 24 x 36 mm format
- Leica Maestro image processor
- Sapphire crystal monitor
- Full HD 1080p video function
- Focus peaking
- Reduced design without Leica logo on the front
- 2 GB of RAM

MBA Alumna Will Be Honored at Women Leading Women
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (Jan. 24, 2019) — Business leader and philanthropist Carly Fiorina, a 1980 MBA graduate of the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, will be the honored guest at the eighth annual Women Leading Women forum on March 5, 2019, in College Park, Md.
"We are thrilled to honor Carly Fiorina," Maryland Smith dean Alex Triantis said. "She is a fearless leader who keeps growing, keeps learning. And she inspires others to follow."
The former HP chief executive leads Carly Fiorina Enterprises and the Unlocking Potential Foundation. During her conversation with students and members of the Maryland community, Fiorina will draw upon lessons learned during her journey from business school to the C-suite.
Topics for discussion will come from her third book, "Find Your Way: Unleash Your Power and Highest Potential," scheduled for release by publisher Tyndale House on April 9, 2019.
The book delivers the same message for young college students and experienced business leaders: "No matter where you are in life right now, and no matter where you've been, you are not yet all you can be."
After graduating from the Smith MBA program, Fiorina landed a position as a management trainee at AT&T. Within 20 years she became the first woman to lead a Fortune 100 company. She says people often rise to the occasion when given the chance, but they need to stay flexible.
"Life can shift," Fiorina writes. "Circumstances shift. You can glean fresh understanding. You can change. You can grow. And as you seize the opportunities that are within you and right in front of you, you'll find a certain steadiness in your life that perhaps you've never known before."
Smith professor Nicole Coomber will moderate the discussion starting at 6:30 p.m. in Van Munching Hall on Maryland's College Park campus.
Seating is limited and preference will be given to members of the Smith community. To learn more and for media inquiries, visit rhsmith.umd.edu/womenleaders.

A platform, according to Parker, Van Alstyne and Choudary, in Platform Revolution, has the overarching purpose of consummating matches among users and facilitating the exchange of goods, services, or social currency, thereby enabling value creation for all participants. Simply put, the "why" of platforms is to facilitate interactions within producers and consumers. Or creators and users.
In my view, this is also the why of the future city; to facilitate interactions between providers and users through the development of enabling policy that will ensure all parties can move around the city to transact and create economic activity in the most fluid and secure ways possible.
There are requirements, according to Platform Revolution, to building a platform that provides valuable experiences for both producers and users. The "how" of platform design is in three buckets.
- 1. Pull: is the work of attracting producers and users to the platform to enable the interactions that both sides seek. The great thing about where cities stand is that the pull is already central to the way things work, as all residents and businesses have to transact with the city. There are set processes and requirements that any new person or business must adhere to, and this ensures an inherent pull in interactions with the city. The best approaches to building services and tools ensures that residents come to trust and rely on the city platform and that the city will never need to pull. Since there is no need for much pull, the next step, and where cities are currently failing and need to utilize technology better, is to facilitate the interactions between the producers and the users/residents of the city.
- Facilitate: Most traditional technology platforms do not really control value creation. What they provide are the infrastructure and policies to ensure that interactions between the producers and users do create value on the platform. Once again, this is another area where the city already has a baked in approach. Policies and policy development can be considered the core function of city leadership. What is missing, and can be addressed by taking the platform approach, is to provide the enabling infrastructure, and this includes policies, that facilitate frictionless interactions between producers and residents in the creation and delivery of value. This includes reducing barriers to access while maintaining security for residents and users on the platform.
- Match: The city's mechanisms for matching the vendors/producers with the needs of the residents are far from ideal. There are recurring and never ending jokes about how the DMV, in any city, works. Taking a platform approach, utilizing cutting edge technology that is available through open source, enables the city to better match needs to serving those needs by producers and vendors. Platforms efficiently ensure that the most relevant service can be made available to the user at the appropriate time, increasing the activity on the platform and creating economic value and resident satisfaction.
There are very few entities that are organically structured to perform this pull-facilitate-match role like cities. The first interactions individuals have when they establish their existence in a place is with the city government; birth certificates, permits, drivers licenses, utility set up for new homes, business licenses, etc. They all start with filling out forms within some city department. This gives cities an innate advantage towards developing robust platforms.
City As A Service
How can cities use this innate advantage? I propose that most cities build a platform or partner with tech entities that build platforms in order to become a digital hub for vendors – utilities, transportation service providers, healthcare, etc. A platform that can provide services to residents. This 'hub' enables the city to analyze all resident needs in real-time, identify areas with issues and analyze the consequent effects of interventions due to the relationships between the city systems. The city would be able to map, predict, and make decisions to address resident issues at a pace that matches the speed of our lives. Essentially, a more intelligent business model for the city, informed with data, and infused with empathy that enables the city to serve the marginalized through a platform that has little to no bias. Cities should bring like-minded vendors to the their APIs to enrich the quality of their data and enable operational capabilities, without cost increases, and discover new revenue streams.
As it was in the past, as it is today and as it will be in the future, people will be at the center of the development and the thriving of cities. The cities that will thrive will have to provide environments and situations that attract talent. The cities that thrive will have to take on a new 'business model'.
Join us in San Antonio Feb 25-26th to hear more about the work that is being done to move San Antonio – the fastest growing city in the US – towards this platform future. Come hear speakers like Bianca Wiley (who is the voice of the people in Toronto vs Sidewalk Labs), Jessie Bounds Innovation Director at the City of Houston (who will talk about Building Back Better after the storms in Houston), Brian Dillard the Interim Chief Innovation Officer City of San Antonio and many more speakers from Lime, Uber, Greenlots and some of the innovative companies improving the landscape of our cities.

Last week myself and 8 other young people were invited to inspect RCT Services For Young People's Online Youth Information, after completing the residential that involved I-Spect training and enabled us to inspect this particular area.
We got together and discussed what we were going to do and how to go about doing it.
We had our list of Standards to which the service is to adhere to and the list of questions we had prepared from the Residential to ask the members of staff.
We interviewed WICID.tv, Detached, Youth Club Staff and other Young People, to coagulate our findings.
Once we finished our interviews we gave a brief description to our peers.
We wrote our findings onto our sheets and then returned the evening after to discuss and put together a report.
We, as a group, decided what to put into the report, suggesting what to do better and what the staff and services did well at.
After a grueling two and a half hours, we had completed our report and fed back to the Manager and Youth Information Worker.
We did a short presentation to the Manager and discussed our findings with the team.
Once the report is finalized it will be sent off to the Welsh Government and will also be a recommendation to give RCT Services For Young People a Welsh Assembly Government I-Spect Kite mark, for which the service has already achieved one.
We worked hard on our findings to give an accurate account of the services and their work to the standards.
I, and the team, are very pleased that we were invited to complete this inspection and want to say a massive thank you to RCT Services For Young People and to congratulate them on passing their inspection.

ZURICH, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The European Aluminium Foil Association (EAFA) has selected three Amcor packaging solutions as winners of an Alufoil Trophy 2016 in the categories of Consumer Convenience, Technical Innovation, and Resource Efficiency.
Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160412/354128
Consumer Convenience
Winning an award for Consumer Convenience, Emmi's "All In One Fondü" is a ready-to-eat cheese fondue contained in a microwaveable metal bowl with an easy-peel aluminium foil lid. To prepare the All In One Fondü, the bowl is heated in a microwave or oven and then kept at the right temperature over a small candle in a specially designed can holder. The fondue can be eaten directly from the bowl. This novel packaging won a joint award for Ardagh Group and Amcor.
"This concept is a clever combination of a number of packaging elements to create a highly original product," explained head judge, Louis Lindenberg, global packaging sustainability director for Unilever. "Fondues can be time consuming and messy due to the complexity of setting them up. But here we have a product where all the packaging works together to make the concept work. The alufoil lid is a core element. And even the tea light holder is alufoil!" he added.
The alufoil lid uses Amcor's AluFix® Retort Pro membrane, which is part of Ardagh's convenient lid system Easy Peel®. The AluFix® membrane is sealed onto a metal ring, guaranteeing secure closure of the bowl for a long self-life and high product protection until the consumer is ready to prepare the fondue. Key to improving consumer convenience is its easy, safe and quick opening.
"The All in One Fondü concept is a great example of packaging improving consumer convenience," said Bruno Mucciolo, marketing manager for Amcor's high performance foil business. "Amcor is pleased to be able to contribute an alufoil lid robust enough to stand up to retort processing, yet easy to open for consumers."
Technical Innovation
Winning in the category of Technical Innovation, Amcor's LuxPrem+ is an innovative overcap solution for premium spirits made from a special aluminium-based material. Developed by Amcor's R&D team, the overcap's intricate design features rival tin overcaps traditionally used for premium spirits. LuxPrem+ perfectly reflects the sophistication of premium brands with high visual appeal and on-shelf impact, smooth opening and a reassuringly substantial feel once the bottle has been opened.
When designing the LuxPrem+ overcap, Amcor's R&D team chose aluminium for a variety of reasons. Its thickness offers the same easy opening as tin overcaps, and its excellent online crimping performance ensures a superior quality finish on the bottle. Plus, the aluminium allows for the printing of intricate designs, giving brand owners new options to create a strong brand identity and visual impact. Using aluminium also offers economic advantages over tin.
Louis Lindenberg, commented: "To take on the traditional tin overcap is a big challenge. The company has achieved a high quality alternative which stands out as a 'better package' and is finished to a high standard."
Nicolas Freynet, general manager for Amcor capsules business, stated, "The development of LuxPrem+ was challenging, and we are honoured that it has been recognised by the jury to win this prestigious award for technical innovation. Our customers are delighted with the result. LuxPrem+ demonstrates our ability to meet their needs with breakthrough innovations."
Resource Efficiency
Winning in the category of Resource Efficiency is Amcor's Formpack® Ultra, a new cold form blister for pharmaceutical products. The material can be elongated more than standard cold form solutions, resulting in cavities that can be drawn deeper and with sharper wall angles than ever before. This gives pharmaceutical companies two options: 1) design a smaller blister card, or 2) add more cavities without increasing the blister card size. Formpack® Ultra's superior elongation is possible thanks to 'best in class' selection of raw materials, advanced manufacturing processes and extensive quality control.
Louis Lindenberg explained, "Not only is there a significant saving in material usage, but the additional benefits in terms of production, logistics and storage make it a truly world class example of resource efficiency."
Commenting on the award, Andrea Della Torre, R&D director at Amcor Flexibles said, "Formpack® Ultra supports a more responsible packaging use across the value chain and lowers the total cost of goods for pharmaceutical companies. Its reduced size also meets patients' needs for smaller, more discreet and convenient blister packs."

The people who go out shopping on Thanksgiving day, and trample their fellow humans to death, to save a few bucks, won't get it.
Many of us do get it. Thanks for the reminder.
He's going to need more than eight reindeer.
I'm not in the best mindset this evening, so those allergic to killjoy sentiment ought to skip reading me.
In my college years, I delivered pizza to make ends meet. Every so often (at least a couple of times a week), we got an order that was unfailingly the same: two large thick-crust pizzas, one of them with absolutely every topping we sold (including anchovies) and extra cheese, the other with ham and pineapple with extra ham and pineapple and cheese. The Pizza Hut I worked at used a conveyor oven, and we had to run both pizzas through the oven about 1.6 times, just to ensure the centers of these pizzas weren't undercooked, since they were so overloaded with toppings.
The gentleman who ordered these pizzas lived in a single-wide trailer in one of the rattier trailer parks. As far as I could ever tell, he lived alone. When I'd knock, he'd holler for me to come in, then ask that I bring the pizzas into his bedroom. He appeared to be nearly bedridden, though there was evidence that he was still at least partly ambulatory. He lived in utter, foul-smelling squalor, and the guy was six hundred pounds if he weighed an ounce. Probably more. He was unfailingly polite, though not particularly gregarious, and his tips were modest but respectable.
At some point, I realized he hadn't ordered in a while. The way I realized it was kinda weirdly anticlimactic. When he'd order, most of the drivers would bitch about having to go to his house since it smelled so bad, and his tips weren't big enough to make the trip worthwhile to them. A couple of us didn't really mind, but some of us would flat-out refuse to serve him, or at least try to cajole some other driver to take the delivery. And one day I came to realize that we hadn't had occasion to have that particular argument in a couple of months.
Sometimes I'd think of the guy, and the way his trailer looked and smelled. The familiar wood paneling and brown shag carpeting, so like that at my friend Lenny's trailer only with slightly more cat pee and (I think) considerably less cigarette smoke. The narrow doorways, just like my own trailer had. I remembered that I'd gotten out of the trailer park before my tenth birthday, but I was pretty sure that the pizza customer probably never did.
I can't laugh or smile at situations like that. I can't make the judgment whether gross overindulgence or cruel genetic biology is to blame, and I'm pretty sure that my pity wouldn't be any more welcome than mockery, but I can't help feeling that "holiday excess" can result in something indistinguishable from blameless day-to-day living with something as simple as hormone imbalance or god-knows-what medical cause.
I am reminded of Jethro Tull's "A Christmas Song," and how its stern finger-wagging against thoughtless holiday indulgence in the face of poverty and injustice seemed a… well, like the sort of judgment that the young and passionate make when they're still young and passionate.
"How can you smile, when the reasons for smiling are wrong?" asks Ian Anderson. He's always had me on a fence ever since the first time I heard that song. Part of me sides with him, wanting to never give up the fight against injustice and poverty and want, and wanting to shake the comfortably well-to-do away from their self-satisfied good cheer. But part of me always felt that "the reasons for smiling" may not always be obvious, and likewise their rightness or wrongness may not always be obvious. Mirth at the expense of others may not always be right (I'm certainly in no place to claim it's always wrong, since I'm as guilty of it as anyone), but mirth for its own sake, even when so much in life is awful and just plain wrong… I think, on the whole, smiling is better than not smiling.
The message of this photo-op may work for plenty of people, without necessarily being at the expense of the morbidly obese. We carry our own baggage to judgments like that. And yeah, there's certainly a strong argument to be made against holiday excess, or excess in general.
But Santa the Hutt reminds me uncomfortably of the late pizza customer, and though it shouldn't necessarily mean anything to any of you or even the customer himself (were he alive to read this), it makes me sad.
I just wanted to get that out there. Carry on.
You ought to be a contributor to This American Life, or Snap Judgement. Or record this for Story Corps. It's a compelling story and I'm liking your analysis, and you told it skillfully.
That is all, I just can't pass up the opportunity to compliment a debbie downer on their talent for storytelling, even if the story itself is depressing.
[quote="Donald_Petersen, post:4, topic:15464"]
but I can't help feeling that "holiday excess" can result in something indistinguishable from blameless day-to-day living with something as simple as hormone imbalance or god-knows-what medical cause.
[/quote] Overeating can also result from psychological addition. Quite simply, using food to fill an emotional deficit. Although I'm an athlete and a bit of a health freak, I have no patience for people who's main response to obesity is holier-than-thou finger wagging. They're arguably worse than those who outright make fun of the obese, as they give cover to by legitimizing the people who do. They aren't interested in improving the situation; they're just addicted to feeling self-righteous, no different from religious puritans. If they think it through at all, the last thing they want is to constructively address the obesity epidemic (and there is one, make no mistake). Fixing the problem would take away their chew toys.
The same thing goes for Righteous Crusaders Against Joy and Happiness. If they can't imagine any other cause for joy than smug self-satisfaction, that says far more about them than those they get a kick out of spitting on. I'm not a particularly jolly person myself, both because the world is frequently depressing and because I deal with clinical depression, but I do try not to make company for my misery. I don't always succeed, but I regard it as a failing when I spend time and energy tearing down other people. Frowns don't feed the world and even I'm not quite sufficiently self-serving to pretend that they do.
While these afflictions do exist, there actually aren't many sufferers. The conditions you describe are exceedingly rare. By far the most common cause of severe obesity is mental disease. US holiday season = mental disease is what this art says to me, and not in a pretty or easily forgettable way. Honest and difficult, even hurtful, to look at? That really is some good art right there.
I had similar mixed feelings upon viewing this image, although not tied to a specific individual or story. On balance, I don't think that the intent of those responsible was to be cruel or thoughtless. I can see how it could be seen/felt that way, but I'm also not interested in rejecting every attempt at humor or thought-provocation that could conceivably offend, either. That would mean we pretty much couldn't laugh (or sneer) at anything.
Just my muddled two cents. Regardless, I enjoy your thoughtful, long-form contributions to these comments.
reminds me of this one we saw in Santa Monica a few years back…life size!
Citation very, very fucking much needed.
Thank you for this. The story, and the display, make me sad too.
But, but… It just feels sooo great to feel superior to those less fortunate then you. Makes you feel like your empty life is somehow worthwhile and meaningful.
It works a treat for me; to my mind it's a patently obvious metaphor for the ugly truth behind the fairy-tales we're told about the inherent virtue of commerce and so on.
You know, the holiday season is widely regarded as a good boost for the economy, mountain of resulting trash notwithstanding. That stupid arsehole 'economy' that for some reason needs to keep growing until it's devoured the world.
Feel free to delve into medical science. Genetic defects, hormonal imbalances, medication complications, "genetics" etc that cause weight gain are exceptionally rare.
With a better than 1 in 700,000 chance, you are not big boned, it is not your hormones, it is not genetics, and it not because of the pills. You are not burning off the calories you are eating, and so are developing body fat.
I think that you very, very fucking much need a citation for some reason - and I'm going to let you come up with your own. Feel free, completely own me = something/everything that TCL said is untrue, and I can prove it, here are the studies or cases or citations. Go ahead, destroy me.
Good luck with that.
In the meantime, mental disease / disorder accounts for nearly all of the severely obese. It's no less tragic, or painful, or pitiable than a genetic disorder - and it may well be more treatable.
+1 anyone arguing with the laws of thermodynamics is who should be providing citations.
But IMO the thread would best be served by picking up my metaphoric interpretation, and leaving literal obesity out of it… I can see the 150 comments I CBFed reading already.
You guys are mean. I think he's cute.
So they want to explore anti-santa sentiment do they? What does that even mean? I'm exploring my anti-anti-santa sentiment.
Totally cute! The walmart violence, the US obesity / diabetes problem, the consumeristic approach to expressing love and affection… it all just makes me want to tickle Santa the Hutt under his folds where he hasn't been able to reach for years.
Wonkee chee sa kreespa Greedo? I was gonna do that myself.

Remember Barnaby Joyce's prediction of $100 lamb roasts? Tony Abbott's prediction that the steel city of Whyalla would be a ghost town?
It's on again. The federal resources minister Matt Canavan is warning that Labor's emissions reduction target will be the end of the sausage sizzle as we know it – a massive blow, not only to Bunnings fundraisers, but possibly the end of the Australian way of life as we know it.
In a front page story in the Murdoch media's Courier Mail, titled "Sausage sizzle in danger", Canavan also warns that the price of meat trays – another favourite fundraiser for charities and sporting groups – could leap to $100 under Labor's "carbon tax."
"Bill Shorten's carbon tax means that Queensland sporting clubs will have less to spend on footy jerseys and netball bibs," Canavan, who also wants a coal-fired generator to be built in Queensland, told the paper.
Where does Canavan get this idea? From the discredited modelling produced last week by Brian Fisher, an economist long favoured by the coal mining industry for painting renewables targets and climate change action as economy-wrecking tools.
According to Canavan and the Courier-Mail, not only will meat trays leap to $100, but the price of thin BBQ sausages will double. This is based on Fisher's barking mad carbon price predictions of $326/tonne, which is what he says will be required to meet the Labor target.
According to the Courier Mail, butchers and junior rugby league clubs are outraged. And Susan McDonald, the managing director of Super Butcher, who just happens to be the LNP Senate candidate, is demanding answers. And energy minister Angus Taylor is in there now, warning that high electricity prices will hit butchers who rely on electricity to operate their fridges.
Just six or seven weeks to go until the election. But be warned – this is just the start. And the Coalition's only hope of success in states like Queensland is that voters are really stupid, or scared.

In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to enable night mode in Twitter for Android.
In 2016 Twitter introduced a new feature called "Night Mode" to its Android and iOS Apps. The main purpose of said feature was to help with its user's eyestrain while using its App on a smartphone or tablet, especially at night. It does this by switching most of its interface from a bright white theme to a deep blue theme. Which can help create a more relaxed feel while reading other people's tweets. It's a fairly simple feature to activate, and I will demonstrate that now.
The first step is to launch the Twitter app on your Android smartphone or tablet. To access Night Mode you need to tap on your profile image in the top left-hand corner or swipe towards the centre from the left to bring up access to the slide-out drawer. You'll see a 'Night mode' switch just above Settings. Simply tap to turn it on. When you want to turn off night mode, you can follow the same steps detailed to disable it.

The best money saving tools!
By Sylvia Nankivell from Student Money Saver
Two things are guaranteed when living in London. First, you will spend money. And second, you will inevitably struggle. But try not to worry, because help is at hand.
Many others are in your situation, and so apps and resources are springing up to take the strain off living in one of the world's great capital cities. We've compiled the best of these.
We're also giving out some tried and tested tips on day to day living. London life isn't a piece of cake, but reading this article can make it as easy as pie…
Food costs are one of the top expenses to have. London has its fair share of eye-wateringly expensive food, with prices generally higher due to your location.
Fill up the right way. Eating in rather than eating out is clearly more economical.
Handy and, most importantly, free apps teach you the art of wallet friendly home cooking.
Of course the only thing better than cheap is free. The Olio app connects you with people in your area, wanting to share quality food that's going spare and up for grabs.
Away from apps, there are no shortage of recipes for tasty and cost effective meals to inspire you.
As any London commuter will tell you, getting from A to B in the capital is costly. Public transport is surprisingly cheap in some ways, but definitely not in others.
This is great. The famous 16-25 Railcard has been a life saver for students and graduates over the years. Even better are the deals you can get on a Railcard.
Pricey train tickets have led to people considering plane travel as a cost effective route in and out of London. There are a range of apps to help you make the right choice.
Coach travel provides reasonable comfort at a discount, as long as you don't mind the long hours. And for a freebie, how about walking or cycling to your destination…?
Check out some more tips here.
It doesn't matter where you live, the appearance of a bill will always strike fear into your heart. In London, where a lifestyle is already costly, bills can be especially worrying.
Don't panic! Managing bills requires a clear head and the right approach. Minefields such as finding the right energy provider can be easy if you know where to look.
Getting your finances in order is essential. Apps can be vital in wrangling those pounds and pennies, particularly if you find that numbers give you a headache!
Daily, weekly and monthly bills like shopping pile up easily. Fine tune your budget by shopping smarter, taking advantage of comparison sites and other activities like wombling!
Making Money
So far we've mentioned things that take chunks out of your hard-earned income. But what about that income itself? You can do more than get a job to make money in London.
Log on and cash in. Putting unwanted, quality items on selling platforms can raise extra cash. Options range from eBay to Etsy, Facebook Marketplace to musicMagpie.
You can even earn spare cash on top of shopping purchases, via cashback. It works by paying you a small amount back whenever you check out. Read more here.
Or, if you fancy exercising your mind, online survey sites can top up your income in return for sending you questionnaires, videos to watch and products to test.
Last, but by no means least, is socialising. How does this help when you're trying to survive? Well, everyone needs a break and to let off steam, or you'll soon go off the rails.
Here's the thing. London is one of the most vibrant cities in the world. It may be expensive, but that doesn't mean you can't go out and have fun on a budget.
It doesn't have to be pubs and clubs, though pub quiz nights are often good value. Something as simple as a yoga class can work wonders for stress. Some are even free!
Plenty of cheap or free events are happening on your doorstep, and are perfect for catching up with friends and enjoying what's left of the British summer…!

Video shows a man, apparently the suspect, grappling with members of the public on the ground. As he tries to get up he appears to be hit by gunfire and collapses on the ground.
A man in a suit and jacket could be seen backing away from the man having taken a large knife. After at least two shots are heard, passengers can be heard screaming, with one shouting: "What the f***, they've killed him."
Police evacuated London Bridge station and set up a cordon at Borough Market while nearby shops and businesses were evacuated. Station staff at Monument claimed five people had been injured.

The goal of every resume is to provide a brief and comprehensive summary of your job history and skills while leaving a lasting impression on the recruiter. Since companies receive dozens of resumes per hiring season, employers who are assigned to sort through these documents encounter repetitive phrases which render the submission cliché.
Several online resources provide a list of key phrases to avoid when writing a resume. While helpful, sometimes these phrases provide the opportunity to share something valuable. Instead of deleting these phrases altogether, rewrite them in a way that makes your resume stand out, and provide concrete examples of your work experience.
Here are some commonly used phrases from resumes and suggestions to rewrite them:
"Works well independently" – Most of the time, this phrase is used as a crutch (and is usually part of a bullet list). Instead of focusing on the trait alone, provide an example that showcases your independent nature.
Example: "In 2010, I launched my own website focusing on providing young adult readers with tips and tricks to save money."
This statement showcases your skill, experience, and knowledge while providing a concrete example to the reader.
- "A great team player" – Teamwork is important is crucial in any workplace to meet company goals, but this phrase does not impress. Instead, share events that showcase you and your former team's participation or achievement.Example: "Volunteered with colleagues and organized a 2011 fundraiser."
- "Results driven" – Results usually require quantitative data. To avoid this ambiguous claim, write about strategies you implemented which resulted in a percentage of change.Example: "Reduced the percentage of tardy employees by 10% by implementing an incentive and penalty policy to encourage them to be on time."
- "Good communication skills" – Communication skills are important, but this is another example of a broad statement. In this case, provide an example showing how your skills were put to good use.Example: "Prepared and presented a slideshow to job applicants attending the 2010 job fair in Springfield."
"Strong attention to detail" – It pays to be meticulous with details but it's even better when other examples are provided.Example: "I have considerable experience editing articles for an SEO company."
If you rewrite overused phrases and provide concrete examples of your success, potential employers are more likely to schedule an interview with you. Your new resume offers a concise summary of your knowledge, skills, and experience — while helping you stand out from the rest of the applicants.
Masters Essay hires a team of talented writers who have considerable experience in writing, editing, and/or proofreading resumes while providing key phrases that impress employers. Call us today and let us help you with your resume: 1-800-573-0840.

So we have cork – lots of it! Today, Portugal is responsible for about 50% of the world's cork production.That's a lot of wine bottles!
But cork can do a lot more besides protecting your bottled wine. This material can be used in musical instruments, footwear, baseballs, cricket balls and Australian cork hats! Actually, NASA has been using cork for some type of rocket insulation… thing!
Scientist or not you can now also buy bags, purses, umbrellas and many other things made with cork.

Teams consisting of up to 7 people will participate in five team and individual events. With the exception of time allowances, rules and format for Tech Challenge are the same as those for International Thespian Festival. View the 2019 Tech Challenge Guide here.

S&P 500 Intra-Day Technical Analysis: ranging for the bullish to be resumed or for the correction to be started (based on the article)
H2 price is lated far above 200 SMA with near and above 100 SMA on the border between the primary bullish trend to be resumed and the secondary bullish ranging correction to be started.
If the price breaks 2,277 resistance level to above so the bullish trend will be resumed with 2.282 resistance as the nearest bullish target to re-enter.
If the price breaks 2.258 support levelto below so the ranging correction will be started.
If not so the price will be on bullish ranging within the levels.
- "Taking it down to the 2-hr time-frame, the 'right shoulder' is taking form as a symmetrical triangle. It's been under construction since the 1/6 high, finding support at the long-term trend-line which runs back to the 2007 highs. The triangle has developed enough to be considered a valid pattern, but like the inverse H&S pattern it just needs a proper trigger. The validation of both the broader H&S and triangle are in close proximity."
- "The triangle could break either way, but given the general consolidation after the power-move higher since November, it's likely it will break in line with the continuation pattern. However, a down-side break can't be ruled out, thus why we need to wait for confirmation, in either direction (closing bar above/below top/bottom-side trend-line). A drop below 2254 would raise red flags for the bulls, and a decline below 2248 would likely confirm that the market wants to roll over. A break through the top-side of the triangle, H&S neckline, and 2282 opens up a path towards the psychological level of 2300. The depth of the H&S formation suggests a move to around the 2320 level."
