Gala 5
This was not an easy match to watch for any Gala fan, regardless of their blood pressure.
Needing a win to keep the gap between them and Hawick, the Maroons did just enough, but the scoreline could so easily have been reversed, as Boroughmuir threatened right up to the final whistle.
The home side were fighting tooth and nail – and for them, they had a stronger reason – survival in the Premiership. And if their kickers had been perhaps a bit calmer and more focused, the Maroons would certainly have been staring defeat in the face.
Chris Laidlaw missed twice and Dave Reekie was off-target as well for the city side in an error-strewn and pointless first half.
The visitors' Ewan Scott had the first couple of goes at the posts at the start of the second half, but they too were missed.
After the hour mark, Laidlaw was once again charged with the kicking duties and this time split the posts to open the scoring.
In the 75th minute, Gala's pressure at a defensive Boroughmuir line-out on their 22 gave them a free kick. An enterprising pick and go move ended in a pop pass to Ruairi Howarth, who cut through the defending line to score. Craig Dods continued the theme of missed kicks with the conversion.
The Maroons had to be sharp in defence in the closing stages as 'Muir fought for something more than a losing bonus point.
And the visitors were able to starve their opponents of the required space and time to open up the opportunity of a drop goal.

Desconstrução #11 When Sir Plus met Miss Treated
When Sir Plus met Miss Treated he told her:
- Survive to my command.
- Nice to meet you Sir Vive...
- Give me your living days and I'll provide you happiness in a remote control.
Dance with Miss Tycal, run to the future in a flying carpet. Flying car pet kitty kat.
Try it hard and be human. Pretend to be you man.
Keep the surface clean, smile to the camera.
- Nice to meet you Sir Veillance...
- Fear no more, culture is all around.
Life is success, survive is suck Cess.
Oh mighty good friend I am.
- Almighty good Lord you are.

Orca – Computer Action (Planet BEN Records)
Looking at a computer as a piece of technological gear, it might appear as quite a rational, pragmatic thing. However, there is a lot of action potential in any central processor unit controlled device, as proven on this EP by Orca!
As a matter of fact the title track Computer Action could well be described as a thrilling computer game taking place in the head of the listener. Rolling 16th bass lines propel this well-rigged piece of Psytrance music straight towards the dance floor. Or rather into a vintage arcade gaming hall? At least there are retro-computer sounds exploding at low bit rates all over the stereo panorama. A rousing mixture of up-to-date production fatness and pressure and oldschoolish samples that could be sampled from an Atari computer or a Gameboy. Be prepared for a banging Psytrance tune with shifting rhythm structures!
Fizzy Lifting Drinks is another high- octane take on modern Psytrance music. A vocal sample about drinks and what you supposedly get from them leads into a track that is characterized by a heady flow and a steady change in density and rhythm. Whirring synthesizer chords meet tight percussions and head-over-heel drum crescendos. Yes, surly a nice one for the peak time on any Psy floor!

Published by Candlewick
Summary: John Howland describes his voyage from England to the New World, working as a servant to John Carver. He does, indeed, fall off the Mayflower, right in the middle of the storm, and is extremely lucky to be seen and pulled back on board. For much of the trip, he dreams of his family back in England, and of returning to London to start his own business. During the first tough year in Plymouth, Carver dies, and Howland is a free man. When a ship arrives with another group of residents for the new colony, John thinks he will go aboard and sail back to England. But his friend Lizzy Tilley convinces him to stay with his new community and help build the colony. An author's note explains that John and Lizzy got married and had ten children, certainly doing more than their share to populate the New World. 64 pages; grades 2-6.
Pros: P.J. Lynch is known more for his illustrations than writing, and the pictures here capture the wild sea and sick misery of life on the Mayflower. The writing is engaging, as well, with John's voice a perfect blend of 17th century words and 21st century wit. The whole group of Mayflower passengers really come to life as this story unfolds.
Cons: Too bad I didn't read this a few weeks ago. Oh well, only 50 weeks until next Thanksgiving.

The Washington Post and New York Times lead with Day 1 of the shaky peace accord forged by Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani in the holy city of Najaf. Insurgents loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada Sadr laid down their weapons and U.S. forces withdrew from the center of the city as thousands of Iraqi civilians flooded the battered Imam Ali shrine that had been caught in the crossfire of the bloody, three-week standoff. (The NYT tallies 11 GIs and an estimated 1,000 guerrillas killed since the beginning of August.) The Los Angeles Times, at least online, leads with word that the FBI is probing a midlevel Pentagon official for passing secrets to Israel via lobbying group AIPAC.
All the papers breathe hesitant sighs of relief. But to the WP, it's "not clear whether the weapons being surrendered in Najaf would be turned over to the police, as the government demanded." Fortunately, the NYT seems to have a better sense. "As the Mahdi Army fighters did not surrender themselves, neither did they give up their guns. Instead, they took the assault rifles and rocket launchers with which they had commandeered the shrine and loaded them onto donkey carts, covering them with blankets, grain sacks and television sets, and sending them away."
The NYT notes that Sadr agreed to help prep for the country's first national elections in January, and speculates that the U.S. decision to let him walk away from murder charges was "based on the hope that the young leader, who commands a large following in Iraq's Shiite slums, could be coaxed into the political mainstream." (Just a few weeks ago, Sadr was sour on the idea of joining a national conference.) In any case, look no further than the LAT for the best coverage on the sectarian jockeying and the general struggle for the Shiite majority. Hint: the paper runs the dispiriting headline, "REBEL CLERIC MAY HAVE EMERGED THE WINNER."
All the papers mention Sadr's spotty track record with peace agreements. While Colin Powell basically portrayed the deal as successful political triage, the Post's off-lead quotes various U.S. officials—some of them anonymously—who are less sanguine. "The fear," says the paper, "is that Iraqis now believe they can pick the time and place of their attacks and then beat a safe retreat." An American commander in Najaf chimed in to the LAT, "This is exactly the same position we were in last time around."
The WaPo and NYT go Page One with the DoD spying allegations, and both note that the case is very sensitive because the accused analyst—named by the Post as desk officer Larry Franklin—works for Doug Feith, an Iraq hawk who recently came under fire for creating an in-house intel unit to hype the Saddam/al-Qaida connection. Of all the papers, the NYT weaves the most conspiratorial web, pointing out that Feith's former law partner now practices in Israel and also that Feith signed a paper in 1996 titled "A Clean Break," which was issued by a Jerusalem-based group that supported the ouster of Saddam. (Both AIPAC and Israel vigorously deny any espionage.)
Contrary to initial theories of human or mechanical failure, Russian investigators have found traces of explosives in the wreckage of one of the two airliners that simultaneously crashed this week, which the Post reefers and the Times fronts low. Officials suspect that two Chechen separatist women, one on each plane, detonated synchronized suicide bombs, a tactic that signals a drastic escalation of Russia's war on terror.
The WP rehashes, above-the-fold, the history of bad blood between John Kerry and his loudest detractor, John O'Neill, who made the cable circuit this month to tout his book Unfit for Command. According to archival records, Richard Nixon encouraged O'Neill to debate Kerry in 1971 and discredit him as the poster boy for the antiwar movement. While the nominal purpose of the article is to get at the two veterans' beef, TP wonders why the reporter, Michael Dobbs—like too many other journalists (as this New Republic editorial points out)—completely glosses over the spuriousness of O'Neill's claims. Worse, Dobbs repeatedly refers to O'Neill's shady political outfit, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, with nary a single caveat or footnote.
A meandering, stat-glutted NYT fronter on China's trade partners finds that the communist government has made an unlikely economic friend in Australia. Which, naturally, has political consequences: This month the Australian foreign minister said he'd be hard pressed to support the U.S. in a conflict over Taiwan. Though he was subsequently admonished for his remarks, they raised a few eyebrows, given the U.S.-Australia lockstep on Iraq, not to mention that whole longstanding Anglo-alliance thing.
Who says Republicans don't know how to throw a grand ol' party? According to a reefered NYT article, New York's host committee has raised $64 million for the GOP convention piggy bank, roughly a third more than Dems raised for their Beantown festivities. "Hundreds of companies, trade associations, and other lobbying groups are … taking advantage of campaign finance and ethics rules that allow almost unlimited spending at conventions and the social events that surround them." To what degree they're doing that, unfortunately, the Grey Lady doesn't say.
Don't look now, but John Wayne Bobbitt is back. The 37-year-old tow-truck driver/former brothel employee, immortalized 11 years ago when his ex-wife cut off a critical part of his anatomy with a kitchen knife, was arrested in Las Vegas on Wednesday for brawling with, um, his teenage stepson. Bobbitt's attorney, Barry Levinson, has released a statement titled "John Bobbitt: Love Hurts," which is probably a first in the annals of jurisprudence. "Mr. Bobbitt's actions were undertaken solely in an attempt to diffuse a violent situation," said Levinson. "John Wayne Bobbitt discovered once again that love can indeed be painful."

Fabric is a material success for London Transport
With its three rooms, two stages and vibrating, bodysonic dancefloor that lets dancers literally feel the bass notes through their feet, fabric in Charterhouse Street has established itself as London's destination of choice for serious clubbers. This is not just good news for the promoters but also their landlords, London Transport, who have just secured a substantial uplift in rent on the EC1M property.
"fabric is one of the largest and most cutting edge nightclubs in central London, so we were delighted to be asked by London Transport to conduct a rent review," says Anthony Alder of licensed leisure specialists AG&G.
"We may not know much about the heavy bass and techno served up by fabric's DJs but we know the capital's nightclub sector inside out and could see that, at more than 20,000 square feet and with a 1,700 capacity, the venue could be generating more income for its owners. We were able to put this insight to good use and successfully increased the rent from £355,770 to £500,000 per annum. It shows that late night, quirky clubs in sought-after, mid town locations can be just as appealing to hard-headed investors as to fun-loving punters."
Since fabric was founded by Keith Reilly and Cameron Leslie in 1999, it has launched the careers of many successful DJs and earned accolades from the national press, including the Guardian and Evening Standard. It has also achieved the top spot or runner up in DJ Magazine's Top 100 Clubs in the World poll each year from 2007 to 2010.

- When having a few subscribers, it is necessary to check where they come from, what their preferences are and if one still meets their needs.
- I outline how you can create a short survey and get feedback from your most important resource – your customer.
When I checked my subscription statistics in WordPress today, I found out I had 138 e-mail subscribers. Last time I looked I had less than 10. This was, of course a few months back.
Some would argue that it is tough to get the first 10 subscribers but easier to get the next 100. I am not sure if I can agree with this. Nevertheless, it continues to go up each week. This is especially true right after I have added another post to the blog.
I have no clue how many people subscribe using RSS or any of the many feed readers. I guess it is probably about another 138. Using this type of arithmatic gets me up to about 250 subscribers. Thank you all for stopping by.
Of course, 250 customers is small too. For me it is a mixed blessing. It is small but too big to talk to everybody. Experts would say whilst it is early to talk about reader segments, I should reflect on it.
I began thinking about reader segmentation. Of course, I have been talking to some of you and taken your feedback and advice to continue improving on our content and services. But when I read a post by
2008-11-19 – Eric Ries–Lo, my 1032 subscribers, who are you?
I decided to follow his advice and use a small survey to get feedback from you. Services that allow you to construct online surveys are, for instance:
Survey Gizmo, or
Here you can set up your questions. To make it easy on your audience, use some scales. This makes it easier for your respondents to answer the questions and simplifies analsis of data for you. Examples are such as
– questions that allow one to check off the answering box, such as Yes or No,
– 5 or 7 points (scales), such as, disagree completely, disagree, undecided, agree, agree completely.
Make sure it is five or seven point scale. Going beyond seven such as nine points is, accoding to research not wise. In fact, people start having difficulties distinguishing beyond seven anchors on a scale. Furthermore, using an even scale such as eight or 10 points is not ideal. You should give your respondent the chance to stay undecided and not force her to make a choice between, for instance, agreeing or disagreeing with your statement.
As well, I recommend using in-depth optional questions sparingly. Not only are they more time-consuming to fill out for your readers or customers but, as importantly, they require a lot more effort from you analysing these typed responses.
I thought I follow Eric Ries' advice and set-up my own survey. Here is my survey for ComMetrics.com:
As a loyal subscriber, I'd like to invite you to take the first ComMetrics.com customer survey:
I put this together using the free version of SurveyMonkey. It shows you how easy it is for you to create your own survey. Naturally, at a later stage you have to pay and subscribe to the professional version. In turn, you can download data or serve a different set of sub-questions based on the answer the person gave for a grouping-type of question (also called funneling).
Be sure to make the thank you page a call to action such as a link to subscribe (see my example at the end of the survey).
This seems the least you can do for a customer passionate enough to talk to you.
So, to those of you who take the time to fill out the survey: thank you for your valuable feedback
And to everyone who has taken the time to read, comment, or subscribe to our ComMetrics.com blog – thank you so much and keep reading
Incidentally, why not subscribe right now so you get the upcoming post that will discuss what the feedback tells us? Any thoughts you like to share, please leave a comment, love to hear from you.

Panama Papers verdict: Nawaz Sharif is booted out of officeJuly 29 2017
Nawaz Sharif is pushed out of office for the third time, the former prime minister of Pakistan is probably used to this to-ing and fro-ing. Still trying to retain some hold on the prime minister's office, he has now ensured that his brother Shehbaz Sharif, who is the current chief minister of the Punjab province, steps into his office. Nawaz would hopethat Shehbaz should last at least till the polls in June 2018.
However,it's not going to be so easy this time. Even a cursory perusal of the timeline of the events in the court, which began in mid-2016, shows thatthe court is in no mood to let things slide. Indeed, in comparison to most of the South Asian courts, it is mysteriously active. First, it refused to take on board any of the petitions by the political opposition terming them "frivolous". After all, the cases being cited against Nawaz were more than two decades old and had been the subject ofallegations since the 1980s.
In its April 2017 judgment, it not only directed that a Joint Investigation Committee (JIT) be set up, it also shuffled the nominees around until it seemed to have a 'satisfactory' team. The team included one former military intelligence officer, admittedly of repute, as well as an officer from the dreaded ISI – both clearly unlikely to look favourably on Sharif or his family. To top it all, the court directed the team to submit its report within four months. Once the JIT submitted nine of its ten volume report, the court has now reportedly called for all the files to be transferred to the National Accountability Bureau within six weeks, and cases to be registered against the Sharifs. The court also wants the case itself to be brought to conclusion within a month.
The question that now arises is what options lie with the former prime minister. Legally, it is possible that he could have waited for the president to formally ask for his resignation. But he appears to have taken the advice of his party leaders, and chose to step out. He can no longer even enter Parliament. It may be pointed out that the court has decided his fate onthe basis of Article 62(1)(f)of the Constitution, which states the requirement that a member of parliament has to be "ameen" (honest). The highest court made it amply clear on Friday that it does not consider Nawaz to be in this category given the nature of the evidence against him.
The Sharif family has virtual control over the government. But a family that is busy defending itself in the court — and that too probably over the next few months — has to look to its flanks. There are senior leaders within the party who have been jostling for space. The Lahore and Sialkot sections, which form theheart of the party, have to be kept happy. Allegations against the interior minister are that he is positioning himself to run the show. Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan's grandfather, father, brother, and three brothers in law, not to mention several nephews are all in the army. Butto do him justice, that aspect does not appear to have affected his political choices overmuch.
Outside, the opposition leaders are rubbing their hands inanticipation. Imran Khan's crusade — for it was nothing less — against Nawaz has made him a winner in the public eye. The aged cricketer has a clean reputation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and has managed to bring about some administrative improvements in that chaotic area. Already, some stalwarts from Sindh have joined his ranks. After all, the first personsto smell which way the wind is blowing are the politicos. Asif Ali Zardari meanwhile is likely to keep out of the way for the time being. His own earlier cases of money laundering are lying in wait.
The speed with which the courts are closing in on him is clear. Whether this will usher in a new era of accountability as most Pakistanis hope is yet unclear. The public is moreover notoriously fickle. If the tenth volume of the JIT – which has not been made public –is indeed a series of requests for information from foreign individualsand governments as is said, then more leaks and corruption charges are likely. And some of them may stick.

Home > Clinical Specialties & Centres > Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose & Throat)
The specialty of Otolaryngology is a diverse clinical discipline that deals with disorders involving the Head & Neck region, primarily diseases afflicting the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT). In the past few decades, the specialty has grown in scope and depth, mainly fuelled by the expansion of knowledge and advances in biomedical technology. The introduction and popularisation of operating microscopes and endoscopic techniques from the late 1950s through to 1990s has enabled ENT surgeons to clearly visualise and operate on anatomical areas previously difficult to access.
The ENT surgeon is therefore a doctor who specialises in evaluating and treating patients with ear, nose (including sinuses) and throat (including voice and speech) disorders. In addition, they also manage patients with head and neck cancers as well as surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.
Otolaryngology or ENT in Singapore had a modest beginning in the late 1920s and it took nearly 30 years before the first full-fledged Department of ENT was established in 1957 in SGH. Since its humble beginnings, the department has grown steadily in size and stature, expanding its scope and depth of services, and has contributed much to better patient care. With the setting up of the SGH ENT Centre in 2000, the department is now able to provide a wide array of services under one roof.
Surgical treatment of head and neck tumours. These include surgery for benign and malignant diseases of salivary glands, thyroid and parathyroid glands, tumours of the oral cavity, nasopharynx, oropharynx and larynx (throat) and neck lymph nodes. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach, collaborating closely with other related specialties to provide comprehensive patient care for the diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancers.

A Scribbly on Ghibli: THE FIRST GHIBLI
Castle in the Sky (1986)
If Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is the animated marvel that paved the way for the now featured animation juggernaut that is Ghibli; then Laputa: Castle in the Sky, is its satisfying and energetic prodigy. Coming just two years after the animated success that was Nausicaä, Miyazaki showed no signs of slowing down and debuted his new company with this lively, well-developed, alternative history filled with pirates, alchemy, and wonder. Castle in the Sky, is a mysterious, fun, fast paced adventure, that takes you on a unique journey of discovery, keeping you entertained from start to finish.
Never a dull moment, the movie opens with pirates raiding an airship holding our meek heroine Sheeta, who has been kidnapped by government officials. After escaping the airship with the help of a mysterious family heirloom, Sheeta is discovered by Pazu an exuberant young boy who, after discovering they're both orphans, takes it upon himself to take care of her. Together the two try to evade the likes of pirates and military alike while simultaneously trying to discover the secrets of the legendary sky-city, Laputa and its connection to Sheeta. Despite a run time a little over two hours, the movie doesn't feel it, as we're swept away with Sheeta, Pazu. and the incredible cast of characters that they interact with on their adventure.
Still cultivating its signature look, Castle in the Sky is filled with beautiful scenery, vibrant imagery, and marks the beginning of Miyazaki's obsession with brunette heroines. Said heroine, in the face of opposition (much like her predecessor) advocates pacifist and martyrish ideals as guides to preserving the greater good. Unlike her predecessor, Sheeta, doesn't have to make the sacrifice alone; the introduction of Pazu also introduces the Ghiblian sidekick, a supporter, self-proclaimed protector, and friend who helps guide the heroine along their journey. Pazu is all those things for Sheeta and helps provide her with the agency to preserve and thrive.
I've noticed that when debating which Ghibli is the best, this is the one that often gets overlooked. As the first Ghibli in the canon, Castle in the Sky is a marvel in its own right and deserves the same kind of recognition as its predecessor and those that came after. While I cannot definitively say which Ghibli is the absolute best, I consider this movie one of if not the top contender.
