The global craniomaxillofacial implants market is highly fragmented owing to the prevalence of several established and emerging players, states Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a research report. The prevalence of numerous players in the craniomaxillofacial implants market also makes the competitive scenario highly intense in the market. The leading companies operating in the market are Medartis AG, Medtronic, Inc., B. Braun Melsungen AG, Rebstock Instruments GmbH, Osteotec Ltd., General Implants GmbH, Poriferous, LLC, Medical Vision Australia Holdings, Matrix Surgical USA, BIOPORE Surgical Implants, Anatomics Pty. Ltd., OsteoMed, KLS Martin LP, Biomet, Inc., Stryker Corporation, and DePuy Syntyhes, among others.
According to a TMR analyst, "The global market for craniomaxillofacial implants market is expected to rise at a 6.2% CAGR from 2014 to 2022. In 2013, the market was worth US$1,010.0 mn and is likely to touch a valuation of US$1,752.9 mn by the end of 2022. On the basis of location, the segment of internal fixators held the leading share of over 80% in 2013 in the market for craniomaxillofacial implants and is likely to maintain its leading position owing to the technological breakthroughs with respect to internal fixators. Region-wise, the global market for craniomaxillofacial implants is likely to be led by North America in the years ahead after it dominated the market in 2013 as well with a share of over 50% in the same year. The growth of the market in the region can be attributed to the attainability of advanced technologies related to craniomaxillofacial implants and the rising awareness among people pertaining to the external and internal fixation of cranial bones.
Rise in Geriatric Population to Play Promising Role in Market Development
With the rise of resorbable implants, craniomaxillofacial implants are experiencing quick mechanical progression so as to set up a compelling treatment stage for facial recreation and growth. Factors, for instance, developing geriatric populace, expanding demand for customized craniomaxillofacial implants, and the rising frquency of street mishaps are driving the development of the worldwide craniomaxillofacial implants market. Besides, the expanding number of national craniomaxillofacial surgery units across the globe that is assuming an urgent part in increasing public knowledge about craniomaxillofacial implants and surgery, is another key factor foreseen to help the development of the craniomaxillofacial implants market. Nevertheless, expensive craniomaxillofacial surgery, and absence of suitable medical coverage plots in creating countries is foreseen to pull back the development of craniomaxillofacial implants market.
Facial Fractures to be Main Reason behind Adoption of Craniomaxillofacial Implants
Facial cracks and their events in all aspects of the world have supported the significance of craniomaxillofacial surgeries. Restoring the regular shape and useful of jaw needs enhanced, solid and viable fixation of the harmed oral, cranial and facial bones. Introducing craniomaxillofacial implants keeps on picking up conspicuousness as a fruitful and broadly favored surgical device. The utilization of such embeds in craniomaxillofacial surgeries is probably going to pick up footing, fortifying the development of worldwide craniomaxillofacial implant market in the years ahead.
In any case, the anomaly in healthcare services in the core regions might hamper the extension of the worldwide craniomaxillofacial implants market. Dynamic interest of developed nations and regions and their medicinal services foundations renders the craniomaxillofacial surgeries costly. While high expenses occupy patients towards elective and reasonable medications, the variable protection arrangements additionally confound the selection of craniomaxillofacial implants. Absence of guaranteed repayment for such restorative surgeries brings down their selection rate in creating nations.

How to add a news release to your Company News Office (this feature is only available to Premium subscribers):
NB: We strictly discourage editorial content being republished here on Ramify, a paid-for platform, as it may dilute a powerful editorial brand and/or create the impression that it may be advertorial. We recommend instead that you post one-to-three paragraphs and then a "continue reading on XYZ" link to the original source.
Step 1: Login
Login to your Ramify.biz account. Click on Account (top right) and select Login.
Step 2: Add new article
In the Company News tab select NEW ARTICLE.
Step 3: Add a headline
Add a headline to your story under Article Title. PLEASE DON'T USE ALL CAPS. Sentence case is preferred.
Step 4: Add your featured image
Add your featured image (hit the + sign where it says Add an Image). The featured image will display in the company news room section of MarkLives.com, on the company news front page of Ramify.biz as well as as the bottom of your news article (see below). You cannot embed images in the body copy of your press release. The only image which will display on the site is the featured image you've added.
Because of sharing on Facebook and Twitter and how these posts preview, we find that the best pic to use is a square one, which we recommend to be 350×350 pixels. Remember, too, that it should be low res.
NB: Files must be smaller than 1 meg or our system will not accept them. File names may not contain special charaters like _, &, @ etc. Keep the file name simple and it will upload.
Step 5: Add the body of your press release
Make sure the Text tab is selected (it will show in red). The Text tab strips out all the formatting and coding you find in Word documents. This is important because that coding can corrupt your article layout in Ramify. Now add the body copy of your press release.
Step 6: Adding video (optional)
1. Make sure the TEXT tab is still selected in your editor.
2. Copy paste the code displayed in Step 2 of Article Content/Adding Content – it will be displaying on your computer screen once you've selected NEW ARTICLE.
3. On your YouTube account select SHARE. Then select EMBED.
4. Copy paste the URL (only!) displayed in the YouTube embed block (for example: https://www.youtube.com/embed/CVpSHsAGjm8?rel=0) into the editor code replacing INSERT YOUTUBE EMBED URL HERE. 5. Yes – you need the ?rel=0 part of the URL as well. Without it your video will not display.
Step 7: Adding additional images (optional)
As indicated in step 4 – you cannot upload images directly into the body our platform. There is a cheat available for those so inclined. Simply add basic html code (be sure you have selected the text tab) to pull images onto the page from your own domain.
For example:
Step 8: Hit Submit
Your press release gets sent to our editors for approval. Press releases are approved twice daily (first thing in the morning and again at 3pm). Once we've approved it it will go live on the site.
Step 9: Check that it's all in order
You can preview your news release by hitting the Preview button next to your selected article. You will also see options for deleting your press release permanently (the bin) or to edit and make changes to you press release (the pen).
Congratulations! You have successfully loaded a news release onto your company news office.
A note on Facebook usage
Ramify.biz and its accompanying Facebook page were only launched in July 2016. In order to increase the number of page likes so that you reach more people, we request that you share, not only like, any posts that are relevant to your company. It's all about branching out which, after all, is what "ramify" means 🙂

Regional Economic Development Initiative
Recent News
The annual REDI Conference was held on September 21, 2017 and featured the theme "Navigating Our Economic Future". We were pleased to welcome Congressman Ben Ray Luján and Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham as our guest speakers. Thank you to all who participated. Read a recap of the event here by the Los Alamos Daily Post.
Northern New Mexico has always been on the cutting edge of innovation. Home to the earliest green buildings and sustainable communities, and a center for creativity and the arts, it's no surprise that Northern New Mexico is revolutionizing the way we work. Whether you're an entrepreneur, free agent, small company or corporation, you'll be inspired by the rugged independence, superior quality of life, and network of like-minded people who await you in Northern New Mexico. Let us connect you with one of our communities, professional groups or concierge partners and find out more about Northern New Mexico today!
The REDI Strategic Plan, completed in 2008, is a long-term, 25-year plan for economic development in the region. Now ten years in, we have made significant progress in implementing aspects of the plan including a $74 million REDINet regional broadband initiative, Economic Development Services, Cluster Strategies, and a Public-Private Partnership to sustain the effort.
About REDI
The History of REDI
In 2007, Los Alamos County launched the "Progress Through Partnering" initiative and charges the Regional Development Corporation with the task of developing a long term regional economic development strategic plan (REDI) with the five main goals listed below.
REDI's Goals
• Diversify the economy
• Develop a high-quality workforce
• Increase the number of higher paying jobs
• Retain and attract youth and families
• Make rural communities vibrant
Northern NM Economic Clusters
In May 2008, the first regional REDI meeting determines the needs of the region and the strategic focus. REDI identifies and works with Northern New Mexico's economic clusters, which are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies that work closely with each other. They rely on a common labor pool, use the same infrastructure and local suppliers and access the same educational institutions and other workforce resources.
Current areas of focus include Technology, Media, Value-added Agriculture, Renewable Energy/Green Industries and Outdoor Recreation.

Tax Incentives
What is the purpose of this project?
REDI is a regional partnership for economic development jointly developed seven northern New Mexico local governments and the eight northern Pueblos. REDI's geographic area includes Los Alamos, Rio Arriba, Santa Fe and Taos counties. Through a Regional Economic Development Strategic Plan, REDI has identified and implemented concrete economic development projects that are improving the economy and quality of life in the four-county region over the next 25 years.
Who is leading the effort?
The Regional Development Corporation (RDC) is the contractor for the project, and is partnering with the North Central NM Economic Development District (NCNMEDD) and other regional organizations.
What results has the REDI program produced?
Cluster Development Update:
Cluster strategies have been developed to pursue economic development in high paying industries in Technology cluster, Value-added Agriculture, Green Industries, and New Media & Film. These strategies continue to move forward, with advancements made in Technology, Value-added Agriculture and Media.
Public/Private Partnerships:
REDI staff is keenly focused on implementing the recommendations that public sector partner communities and private sector businesses have said are of the highest priority including:
- Regional Broadband (REDINet). REDI provided key support in securing $74 million in federal grants for the REDINet broadband infrastructure, which went live in 2013.
- Business-Friendly Policy. REDI efforts led to the amendment of the Local Economic Development ACT (LEDA) in 2009, allowing local governments to dedicate up to 10% of annual general fund expenditures on economic development projects. It has also worked with local governments in developing local suppliers preferences to help grow our local businesses.
- Economic Development Services, Attraction. REDI has formed strategic alliances with the State's lead business recruitment agency, the New Mexico Partnership, and the region's economic driver, Los Alamos National Laboratory. Other partnerships include creating a Certified Communities Cluster for the Rio Arriba and Espanola area and aiding other regional partners to grow the region's economy.
- Economic Development Services, Creation. REDI invests in the Business Retention & Expansion program of the RDC, and the Northern New Mexico 20/20 Initiative, helping dozens of new businesses each year and highlighting high-growth businesses that are creating jobs and bringing additional revenue to our region.
- State of the Region Summit – REDI Economic Report Card. REDI developed baseline benchmarks to measure the accomplishments of our partnership over the long-term. Each year, a summit is held to track progress and identify goals for the upcoming year.
How does this benefit our regional community?
The public sector benefits from REDI because:
- Economic Regions are right-sized geography.
- REDI is helping the region compete for federal and other grant funds for economic development that no one else is seeking.
- Combined resources enhance national appeal.
- Economic development inputs such as infrastructure, workforce, business support services and public policy require regional solutions and capacities.
- Strategic plan alignment eliminates needless competition and duplication.
- Shared Economic Development services are cost-effective.
- Economic Development investments create new businesses, jobs, and tax revenues.
The private sector benefits from REDI because:
- Economic Development programs protect corporate investments in the region.
- Economic diversification keeps tax rates low.
- Education and workforce programs improve the quality of the labor pool.
- Corporate voice in regional economic development policy and visibility as community-oriented leader.
- REDI provides companies with timely information and valuable contacts.
- Cluster initiatives strengthen competitive advantages.
Who is involved in REDI?
Los Alamos County has signed cooperative agreements with seven county and city governments in the four-county region for Progress through Partnering initiatives. One of these initiatives is the REDI program.
Everyone in the community has a stake in its economic success. In addition to local governments, key stakeholders include economic development and workforce development organizations, chambers of commerce, unions, institutions of higher education, major private sector entities, school districts and federal and state agencies.

Two former executives from Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper arm should be formally admonished after misleading a parliamentary committee investigating claims of phone-hacking, lawmakers said on Wednesday.
Colin Myler, the former editor of the defunct News of the World newspaper, and Tom Crone, the tabloid's top lawyer, were found in contempt of the House of Commons over evidence they gave to its Culture, Media and Sport Committee in 2009, a report by parliament's Privileges Committee found.
Myler and Crone have denied misleading lawmakers.
The News of the World newspaper closed in 2011 after it was revealed journalists on the paper had been involved in hacking the voicemails on mobile phones of thousands of people, including that belonging to a murdered schoolgirl, to find exclusive stories.
The paper's former editor Andy Coulson and a number of other former staff were convicted and jailed in 2014.
Following a lengthy inquiry into phone-hacking, the culture committee concluded in 2012 that media mogul Murdoch was not fit to run a major international company and raised questions about the competency of his son James.
The report also singled out the paper's final editor Myler, Crone and Les Hinton, the ex-head of his British newspaper arm then called News International, for having misled them in testimony.
The Privileges Committee said it agreed with the conclusion that Myler and Crone had answered "questions falsely about knowledge of evidence that other News of the World employees had been involved in phonehacking and other wrongdoing".
However, it said there was insufficient evidence to find Hinton or News International guilty of contempt.
In statements issued to media, both Crone and Myler disputed the conclusion and denied misleading lawmakers.
"Had the appropriate standard of proof been properly applied, the Privileges Committee could not have reached a finding of contempt against me, given that the report identifies evidence which plainly contradicts their conclusions," Myler said.
The Privileges Committee recommended the House of Commons agreed a motion formally admonishing the men for their conduct, a penalty that amounts to a slap on the wrist.

A Blackpool chip shop which has been run by the same family for 24 years has been crowned the best in the resort.
The Harrowside Chippy has been voted the best in town by Gazette readers in our 2015 Chip Shop of the Year competition.
Readers praised it for the quality of its food, the cleanliness of the premises, the atmosphere and the friendly service.
The Miller family, Sue, Andrew, daughter Ashleigh and son Thomas, were delighted to have won.
Sue Miller said: "It was fantastic to win especially since it was down to the votes of our customers and members of the public.
"I would like to thank them all for voting and for their continued support.
"I also have to thank our wonderful staff who take real care with everything they do.
"I think the key thing is to only use the best produce. We source everything we can locally but it has to be good so we only use certain suppliers.
"We are a very traditional chippy. We have seen the fads over the years, the deep fried mars bars etc, but we concentrate on the best loved chipshop staples.
"Our customers are very loyal and many have been coming here for years.
"We have regulars from Manchester and Leeds, people who come to visit their relatives here, and we know what their order is going to be before they ask.
"When we first bought the shop it was half the size it is now with a cafe at the back.
"Then we expanded into the next door shop and we now have a 40 seat cafe with a big tropical fish tank full of Malawis which have just had babies.
"The table near the fish tank is our most popular especially with families with small children. But I still think of it as our little family chip shop.
"We have had three different ranges and a new shop front over the years, it is important to invest in your business."
The competition, designed to highlight all that's best about traditional seaside food, ran throughout July in The Gazette and 24 chippies were nominated.
Members of the public were asked to vote for their favourite in a phone-in and the Harrowside Chippy came out on top.

ANSLEY—More than 50 people gathered at the Ansley Community Center on Tuesday night for the candidate forum hosted by the Custer County Farm Bureau. Six candidates are vying for the District #7 spot on the Board of Supervisors. County Supervisor Don McCullough of Berwyn currently holds the spot but will not run again this year. He has served on the board for 16 years.
Republican candidates:
Dennis W. Fread
Douglas A. Stunkel
John C. Evans
Tom Bailey (Ansley)
Democratic candidates:
Donna Hoblyn-Bittner
Dick L. Holeman
Tyson Havranek served as moderator throughout the forum. Audience members had the opportunity to write questions and each candidate was given approximately 90 seconds to answer. Questions varied on topics such as local property taxes, tax increment financing, the county budget, rural infrastructure, livestock friendly programs, size of the county government, alternative energy, and townships.
Few conflicting opinions arose during the night but candidates expressed differences during discussion of tax increment financing, the number of supervisors that should hold office, alternative energy, and the supervisor vs. commissioner format with regard to townships.
Custer County currently consists of 31 townships, 10 villages, and two cities. Moving to a county commissioner format would do away with townships. The primary responses to budget and tax questions were that county dollars need to be managed properly and used efficiently.
Candidates acknowledged that they do not have all of the answers at this time but all seemed eager to listen to their constituents and understand the issues.
Jay Ferris with the Nebraska Farm Bureau said this forum was the first county forum hosted this year, but the organization has hosted several state legislative forums. He said these events provide opportunities for voters and the public to meet candidates and understand where they stand on the issues.
"I thought it was great. We had, you know, a great turnout from the candidates, a great turnout from the voters to come listen to the candidates. I think the voters are going to have a choice to make come May 15," Ferris said.
The primary election will be held May 15. Early voting begins this next week; early voting and absentee requests must be submitted in writing to the office of the county clerk.

Interrupting your weekend with more photos from my EuroTrip.... We thought two days would be sufficient to explore Rome, but like Paris, it was much too short -- there was so much to see! I highly recommend a pair of comfy shoes because you'll do a lot of walking, A LOT .
*Couple words of caution: Italian men are super aggressive-- borderline creepy. Do not eat near tourist attractions -- terrible food! If you're a foodie do your research, it'll be worth it. And whatever you do, DO NOT fly Ryanair! It's like Spirit Air, but MUCH worst.

Some restaurants do everything right but still don't get the love they deserve. That's the case with To Hyang, a little-known place with Korean dishes unusual for San Francisco, vulber says on Chowhound.
A balance of the well-known and the unusual makes To Hyang good for a range of diners. Dishes that excite Korean aficionados include yukhoe, raw beef with pear, ginger, and garlic; oxtails cooked with dates and chestnuts; and a soup of soybean paste fermented in house. Chef-owner Hwa-Soon Im's standards are so high she makes her own soy sauce—peek out the back window to see her jars of fermenting kimchi, soybean paste, and soy sauce.
Since To Hyang is a favorite with chefs, keep your eyes peeled for familiar faces. Incanto's Chris Cosentino has eaten there with Anthony Bourdain (pictured with Hwa-Soon Im). And Liholiho Yacht Club's Ravi Kapur adores the oxtails.

How the Global Warming Story Changed—Disastrously
By Chris Mooney
Back in 2006, the year of the release of An Inconvenient Truth, it felt as though serious and irreversible progress had finally been made on the climate issue. The feeling continued in 2007, when Al Gore won the Nobel and the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announced that global warming was "unequivocal" and "very likely" human caused. Mega-companies like General Electric were burnishing new green identities, and the Prius was an icon. The Bush administration was widely suspected of having deceived the public about the urgency of the climate issue, and journalists were backing away from their previous penchant for writing "on the one hand, on the other hand" stories about the increasingly indisputable science.
Then came the election of Barack Obama, boasting a forward-looking policy agenda to address global warming and a stellar team of scientists and environmentalists in his cabinet and circle of advisers, including climate and energy expert John Holdren and Nobel Laureate Steven Chu. The United States, it seemed, would finally deal with global warming—and just in the nick of time.
Who could have known, at the time, that the climate deniers and contrarians had not yet launched their greatest and most devastating attack? Certainly, it was hard to imagine how they might pull off such a strike: They had virtually nothing going for them, no raw scientific materials to work with. All the science pointed to a greater-than-ever urgency of addressing the climate issue and a quickly closing window of opportunity for action. Within scientific circles, it was even becoming commonplace to discuss planetary modification, or geoengineering, as an alternative last ditch solution if we couldn't stop runaway greenhouse warming in time.
But the skeptics were lying in wait. They didn't need good science to make another sally: Their strength has always been in communication tactics anyway, and not scientific exactitude or rigor. And the U.S. public, never overwhelmingly sure about climate change, has long been susceptible to their smokescreens and misinformation campaigns.
The new skeptic strategy began with a ploy that initially seemed so foolish, so petty, that it was unworthy of dignifying with a response. The contrarians seized upon the hottest year in some temperature records, 1998—which happens to have been an El Nino year, hence its striking warmth—and began to hammer the message that there had been "no warming in a decade" since then.
It was, in truth, little more than a damn lie with statistics. Those in the science community eventually pointed out that global warming doesn't mean every successive year will be hotter than the last one—global temperatures be on the rise without a new record being set every year. All climate theory predicts is that we will see a warming trend, and we certainly have. Or as the U.S. EPA recently put it, "Eight of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2001." But none of them beat 1998; and so the statistical liars, like George Will of the Washington Post, continued their charade.
The public was quite vulnerable to such messages: Americans don't know climate science very well, and the notion that temperatures aren't actually "rising" after all must have spurred many doubts. Indeed, I suspect the "no warming since 1998" line of attack helped contribute to an alarming finding released in October by the Pew Research Center: the proportion of Americans agreeing there is "solid evidence the earth is warming" had declined to 57 percent, from 71 percent a year and a half earlier. And those attributing warming to human activities—the robust scientific consensus view—had dwindled from 47 percent to 36 percent over the same time period.
This blow, however, was nothing compared to the "ClimateGate" saga of November, in which a bevy of emails from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom were illegally obtained and exposed, thus generating a dramatic scandal over the climate scientists' alleged attempts to silence skeptics and thwart freedom of information requests. The truth is that, analyzed in their proper context, there isn't very much that's damning about the emails (though some of the scientists may have some things to answer for). But even taken at their worst, the emails do not change one whit the urgency of addressing global warming.
Scientists have pointed this out repeatedly, but to no avail: "ClimateGate" generated a massive wave of media attention, blending together the skeptics' longstanding focus on undercutting climate science with a new overwhelming message of scandal and wrongdoing on the part of the climate research establishment. This story was not going to go away, and even as scientists put out statements (most of them several days late) explaining that the science of climate remains unchanged and unaffected by whatever went on at East Anglia, the case for human-caused global warming was dealt a blow the likes of which we have perhaps never before seen.
Whether we will recover some necessary momentum in Copenhagen—a formal United Nations venue for deliberation where scientific expertise is respected, and where misinformation will likely have less power—is up in the air. Nevertheless, there's an important lesson here, for the climate issue and beyond.
In our mass media age, on any politicized scientific topic, there is no reason to assume a correlation between increasing scientific certainty about a problem and increasing public awareness, acceptance, or willingness to take action to address that problem. If anything, the two might well become anti-correlated, as in the global warming case. And that is because—to speak in a language that scientists will certainly understand all too well—the state of the science is only one variable affecting public opinion. And in the global warming debate, there has been an utter failure to control for any of the others.
If scientists, their allies, and their supporters want to better ensure the translation of scientific knowledge into action than we've seen in the global warming case, there is simply no choice but to work much, much harder to influence public opinion, and anticipate and thwart the skeptics before they can bring about another "ClimateGate."
[Clarification: This post originally indicated that climate contrarians seized upon 1998 as the "hottest year in the global temperature record"; it has been changed to indicate that this is the hottest year in some temperature records.]

I'm not suffering,
I'm just annoying
To people who want to give me more grief
Than I have already had.
They tell me to shut up
About double-standards they like to promote as valid opinions,
Saying, if I don't modify my ways to fit with my gender,
They can shut me up
And have me tortured, or at least, they hint at that,
Without actually being the villain enough
To finish me that way, just curb
Through a look or by saying,
That certain words or phrases are a trigger
To not listen properly,
Or some faff of an excuse for prejudice to disclude,
Vilify, label and alienate.
They smile as they think
How they can get me down,
To their heel hobble mannerisms.
I can't be given a scholarship
For a disability I don't have,
When I have get-up-and-go ability,
Now that I'm not tied down
With track-marks on my butt
From psychiatrists' disabling fortnightly injections,
That had all I'm meant to be and do
Flushed down by their pooh-pooh pulpit.
Society is very pushy,
But once you've been tortured in the community's name,
You fear your own expression,
You fear your own perseverance,
Try to never push back, apologise way too readily…
You rarely express needs, wants,
Certainly fear asking for decency, with a forthright tone,
Lest you be considered 'aggressive'.
I am not suffering,
So I want to have my say
About what is happening,
What has happened
And what should not be happening.
I will not be told some nonsense
From a prejudiced mouth
That wants keep brutal control
Of language and opinions.
I have to survive more than that,
Otherwise I am being held back,
Humanity is being held back
And suffering as a result.

WEEE Recycling
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.
"Under the Waste Battery Regulations, laptopsandspares.com are now offering a take back scheme for all portable waste batteries. You can return your waste batteries to our business premises in person (please do not post). Alternatively, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.recyclenow.co.uk
Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End users may find stores in their local area more accessible"
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.

I had a business trip in Cuba, and I spend there couple of days. When I wanted to come back, the flight I was suppose to be on, was delayed, so I decided to stay a few days more. Unfortunately, I already checked out of the hotel where I was staying, and I had to find another one. My business partner recommended me to stay at Club Amigo Costa Sur. I accepted his recommendation and now I see that he was right. This hotel is very nice place to be, and now I'm recommending it to everyone I know. It's not the most luxurious place to be, but I'm sure that everyone who visits this hotel will like it. There are two twin size beds which are very comfortable and they offer a good night's sleep. There is a telephone in the room, and I use it just one time to call my office that my flight is delayed and that I will be staying for a couple of days. The air conditioner in the room was working properly, and the same goes to the satellite TV. The bathroom was very nice, and it had a nice hot water so every time you want to take a shower you will have no problems at all. There is a safety deposit box so if you have some important documents you can keep it there safe and sound. The restaurant was serving a good food, but I think that they need to offer something more than just a Cuban national cuisine. The bar I noticed that it was working pretty late, so anytime you want to have a drink you can choose various cocktails, or even better; try their rum. It is really fantastic. What I really liked it, the hotel was really close to the beach. The beach was wonderful, full with nice warm sand and crystal clear water. I really don't like that there was no money exchange office, so I had to go to the bank in order to exchange money. The staff working at this hotel, are really great, and they will make your stay even better.

Club amigo costasur is the best beach hotel you will ever get in Trinidad, I enjoyed my stay here. It is a three star all inclusive hotels but offers its best like it's a five star hotel. This was one of the best resorts to go to that feels like home. The comfort level was amazingly crazy, I was so comfortable, it couldn't get any better than I met or felt. This resort is a small resort with about 130 rooms or more I can't really tell. This is my first time in this lovely Cuban resort but the staff treated me like I have been here more than two times. The bungalows are just a few feet away from the beautiful beach. The bungalow has a lovely patio, a nice living room and amazing room to sleep in with nice comfortable beds. It is a small beach that doesn't have so many waves but kind of rimmed with rocks. The food at this resort is average; they all tasted nice but not as good as others I have been to. I loved the beef stew, it was exceptional and then the ice cream was way better than I thought it would be. The staff really had it in for us, they were really treating every guest there with so much respect and attention, and you hardly meet one who didn't smile at you. I enjoyed my vacation here and I highly recommend this place to you if you need a less expensive.

We have been to Cuba several times so we know what to expect. This is not a 3 star, barely a 1 star. Please don't be disappointed and book this hotel. Nothing about it is good. Staff is rude, unless you tip and maybe you will get a smile. Only one barender nice that was nice and that was the one on the beach. Front desk doesn't care and either does the restaurant staff. If you want ice in your drink too bad, if you want a spoon get it yourself. That was the attitude we got. I know they don't make much in salary but we paid for our vacation the least they can do is be nice. This is one place that we will never go again.
Room Number:
July 27
Clean and maid was very creative with towels.

Beach beautiful the best thing about this area, pool never clean, black diry ring around the pool, plastic glasses not clean until 5:00 o'clock when the pool closed. If you want to swimming later too bad!!
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
Not good.

All inclusive hotel with 3 meals per day and unlimited drinks. Staff are friendly, view is beautiful and the location is good as it's right on the beach. There is a small patch of coral reef to the right of the hotel which is good for snorkeling. You can also hire bikes for free and also volleyballs for the beach volleyball court by the beach. The rooms here are sufficient, although we were a couple and were given 2 twins, everything else in the room was in order. The room keeping staff even make elephants, swans and flowers out of your towels!
Its an 8 peso cab ride into Trinidad town center which is great for a couple of hours to browse the markets and culture.
Great experience, would recommend this hotel, such excellent value for money!!

I had the fortune of staying at this peaceful hotel whose main feature, as is the case in all of Cuba, is the kindness of the staff. The food and services were very food, I strongly recommend the hotel and hope to be able to return soon. The location is paradise. Another truly impressive feature are the water treatment facilities, something everyone should install. I can't overstate what a great time I had. Greetings from Mexico.

I have stayed in Costa Sur many times when working as a tour guide for norwegian groups. The rooms in the old part are quite simple, but nice, and the rooms in the new part are excellent, with big windows and a wonderful view. The place is overgrown with beautiful flowers, and the staff is really nice. It is quite a far walking distance to a respectable beach, and also to the city of Trinidad. I'll definately be back!

about the choices I have made
and how arbitrary they have become
Based on nothing but pleasure of the flesh
So I think of what good they have done
I draw up blank.
In the meantime, I compare myself to those idolize.
Of course, with my own revisionism
and I make of mold of that which I chose to be
which I long to be
I have so much work to do.

Twitter India, along with data-driven website India Spend, launched #Breathe service on Friday to enable users to get real-time information about the pollution levels in their areas with a tweet.
All you need to do is own a Twitter account, simply type #Breathe and your location in a tweet and you will get a reply tweet with a real-time update about the pollution levels in your area. The service is now available for Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai.
The reply tweet will inform you about the pollution levels in terms of particulate matter (PM 2.5 and PM 10) as well as give you the possible health impact of the measured air pollution levels.
India's endemic air pollution levels have already crossed the limits prescribed by the World Health Organization. Thirteen of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in India. Delhi reportedly has the most polluted air quality in the world.
High levels of air pollution caused nearly 1,800 deaths daily in India in 2003 and 2.7 million deaths worldwide in 2012, according to WHO, the Climate Home reported.
Twitter India said the hashtag initiative is to provide Indians with an easy tool to get live updates about the air quality in their neighbourhood. India Spend, which has partnered with Twitter, operates quality monitoring network using air quality devices fitted with GPRS transmitters across the country.
"Pollution levels across India are rising and is a huge health issue affecting millions of people. By leveraging India Spend's air-quality monitoring network, Twitter is democratising access to live air pollution data to help Indians make healthier living decisions from Earth Day 2016 and beyond," Raheel Khursheed, head of news and government partnerships, Twitter India, said in a blog post.
Twitter said it is using the breathe hashtag service as an awareness exercise to make people cautious about the rising pollution levels across metro cities in India.
The social media giant said it would expand in the next phase its campaign to Patna, Gwalior, Raipur, Ahmedabad, Varanasi, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Agra, Bhopal, Dehradun, Jaipur and Ranchi, which are some of the most polluted cities of India as listed by the WHO.
International Business Times, India tried the service, and here is the reply tweet we received:

— IndiaSpend (@IndiaSpend) April 23, 2016
And following is the tweet with which Twitter announced the launch of the campaign:

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department conducted its annual spring mule deer survey in April, and results indicate western North Dakota's mule deer population has increased 19 percent from last year.
Bruce Stillings, big game supervisor, said the increase is a result of less severe winters the past couple of years, no harvest of antlerless deer in 2012 and 2013, and improved fawn production. The 2014 index is only 7 percent below the long-term average.
"Mule deer numbers are headed in the right direction, but in order to maintain further population growth we need to maintain a conservative management approach, with no antlerless mule deer harvest again in 2014," Stillings said.
Biologists counted 1,944 mule deer in 306.3 square miles during this year's survey. Overall mule deer density in the badlands was 6.3 deer per square mile, which is up from 5.3 deer per square mile in 2013, and slightly below the long-term average of 6.8 deer per square mile.
"Although this year's increase in mule deer is encouraging, there are long-term challenges facing mule deer in the badlands," Stillings said. "While fawn production increased in 2013, it is still below average. We also have encroachment of Rocky Mountain juniper, predators, winter weather and changes in habitat quality due to fragmentation and disturbance."
The spring mule deer index is used to assess mule deer abundance in the badlands. It is conducted after the snow has melted and before the trees begin to leaf out, providing the best conditions for aerial observation of deer. Biologists have completed aerial surveys of the same 24 study areas since the 1950s.
