Could we see the end of Made in China in the future?
For years the world has said China makes everything.. China's economy is changing and Vietnam and others are replacing China's cheap labor. Could Made in China be gone forever? Is it goodbye?
I think it is important to look further than the headlines. China's economy is changing, but not necessarily as a manufacturer.
Stats. I have seen usually show that manufacturing goes through cycles of surges and declines depending on a whole range of things like seasonal aspects as well as the state of the world economy. Amongst those surges when times are good China generally rallies faster and when times are bad China generally slows off slower.
What may be in place is that more labour intensive industries such as those in textiles are moving away due to higher wages, whereas China is aiming for more advanced manufacturing.
I reckon China will still be THE worlds manufacturer for a long while yet.

Eyes in the Skies: CHS' take on recent missile tests by the infamous North Korean Regime
October 13, 2017
US citizens accustomed to gazing skyward at the sun, clouds, and the occasional plane could someday see a truly sinister sight: a North Korean nuclear missile.
In recent years, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has responded to international condemnation over human rights violations with threats underscored by nuclear and missile tests.
"We are ready to retaliate with far bigger actions to make the U.S. pay a price for its crime against our country and people," the reclusive nation recently warned, through its official Korean Central News Agency.
A North Korean 'earthquake' last month which registered 6.3 on the Richter scale was reported by Quartz to have been caused by a test of the hermit kingdom's most powerful weapon yet: a hydrogen bomb.
North Korea has also tested its upgraded missile range, with an August 29th launch that put the US territory of Guam in its reach, according to CNN. Ex-CIA Director Michael Hayden believes North Korea will be able to deliver a nuclear payload to Seattle by 2020.
Though these facts are alarming, Cresskill students take them with a grain of salt.
"The United States has the largest military in the world," said Rachel Kim, a junior of Korean-American heritage, adding that "Kim Jong-Un is aware of this."
Another student, who has lived in South Korea, noted that Kim's previous threats have been "empty," so "it's natural to assume that their threats are empty again."
"North Korea is a weak country that is hanging onto China," said a third student of Korean heritage who asked not to be named. "They always bluff, so I don't really care."
North Korea's threats show no sign of diminishing, but it appears most Cresskill students aren't letting them disrupt their lives.

Auction House
Auction HouseWhy almost noone uses the AH functionality?
Maybe removing the vip status requirement will make it actually useful?Created: 15 July 2014 06:53 by blasphemus Like: 0
AHPlayers used to input items at very high prices on the auction house, and this discouraged people from using it. I'll think about removing the VIP requirement.Created: 15 July 2014 08:50 by Alastor Like: 0
AHIntroducing fixed price ranges for the most "hot" items would help i believe.
e.x ruby power focus price range "500k-2m" so players cannot sell it higher through ah.
or just fixed max prices like 0-2m.
only 20 players using ah would make it seem alive, in it's current state it's completely empty.

Venom release Welcome to Hell
Welcome to Hell is the December 1981 debut album by the English heavy metal band Venom.
The sound of the album was very noisy and rough, perhaps in part because the band thought they were recording a demo when they recorded the album over a period of only three days. Geoff Barton stated in his 1981 five-star review of Welcome to Hell the album had "the hi-fi dynamics of a 50-year-old pizza" and it "brought a new meaning to the word 'cataclysmic'". However, those comments compared it to other heavy metal from the early eighties.
The album is often described as "speed metal", although it had a great influence on the then-emerging thrash metal style.
The first vinyl pressing included a poster and a pink lyrics sheet.

Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones are the perfect treat for a Valentine Tea for Two.
Last week, I shared a table setting for a romantic valentine tea for two. I hope that while you were looking at the pretty plates, tea pot and cups, you were also drooling a bit over the scones. They are drool worthy.
Here at Feeding Big, we are lovers of scones. For me, I think my love of scones started when I lived in England for a year. We would often see them at Tea Time or have them as a sweet mid-morning. For many years, it was hard to find scones in America and I was busy working and raising a young one, so I never made any for myself.
Scones are one of those wonderful treats that look difficult to make, yet they really are easy. Butter and flour are the main ingredients. Here is a tip: make sure your butter is cold and stays cold while you are working with the dough. Doing this will guarantee your scones come out perfect.
The items in the list are linked to Amazon, I am affiliate and will earn a small commission if you purchase something. Thank you.
Here is a list of kitchen items you will need to make Chocolate Chip Cherry Scones:

TU Sports Information
TULSA — Tulsa dropped a 16-13 decision against New Mexico as the Lobos' Jason Sanders knocked through a 53-yard field goal for the victory as time expired in front of 18,026 fans Saturday afternoon at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
It was the second consecutive week that Tulsa lost on a last second field goal.
The Lobos controlled possession time for 42:41 of the game. Tulsa had only nine offensive possessions for just over 17 minutes.
Tulsa's defense came up with some big plays and stops in the game, but the Hurricane could not capitalize. Tulsa forced two fumbles and an interception, but could only manage 6 points off of two field goals.
D'Angelo Brewer had his 12th career 100+ yard rushing game with 131 yards on 16 carries for an 8.2 average per attempt. The Hurricane gained 286 yards on 58 plays, while New Mexico had 446 yards on 73 plays.
New Mexico took the game's opening kickoff 79 yards in 6 plays as quarterback Coltin Gerhart raced the final 19 yards for a 7-0 Lobo lead. It was on Tulsa's second possession that the Hurricane got on the board for its first time with a career-long 50-yard field goal by Redford Jones, making the score 10-3.
at the end of the first quarter.
The teams exchanged scores within the first three minutes of the second quarter to make it a tie game, as UNM knocked through a 34-yard field goal and Tulsa's D'Angelo Brewer ran the final four yards of a 75-yard touchdown drive.
The Lobos added another field goal in the second quarter and took a 13-10 lead into the half.
It wasn't until the 4th quarter, at the 14:53 mark, that the first second-half points were scored when Tulsa's Jones converted a 26-yard field goal, capping a 12-play, 84-yard drive. Tulsa's scoring drive came after its defense stopped the Lobos near the goal line when Diamon Cannon recovered a fumble on New Mexico's 4th-and-goal from the two-yard line.
With the Lobos driving in the fourth quarter, Tulsa intercepted a Lobo pass with 11:36 left on the clock but was forced to punt. On UNM's next possession, Petera Wilson Jr. and McKinley Whitfield stopped the Lobo quarterback on 4th-and-one from the Tulsa 31, giving the ball back to the Tulsa offense.
However, UNM intercepted a Chad President pass at their own 42-yard line, and went 22 yards in nine plays to set up Sanders' 53-yard game-winning field goal.

Overnight there was a series of explosions near the Damascus international airport, Syrian opposition sources reported. Arab media reports point the finger at the Israeli air force, but the IDF has not issued a statement.
The Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar television station said an Iranian weapons depot was hit.
URGENT: Footage emerged of burning fuel or gas at Damascus International Airport, with some reports pointing to a possible Israeli airstrike pic.twitter.com/nhJhJfffrk
— Press TV (@PressTV) April 27, 2017
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported at least one explosion within the airport compound, but local opposition sources have mentioned as many as five.
Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Observatory, said the blast could be heard throughout the Syrian capitol and woke up many residents at around 3:20 AM.
The same opposition sources are saying the target of the overnight attack was a Syrian Army airport near Damascus International, which is being used by Iran-backed forces.
The Hezbollah satellite television station Al-Manar reported the attack damaged petrol containers and storage facilities housing Iranian weapons.
Last January Syria reported a rocket attack by the IAF on the Mezzeh Military Airport, only a few miles from President Assad's palace.

3 ½ stars
In Act II of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's "Into the Woods," the Baker and Cinderella, two of four main fairy-tale characters who survive the whole, Hamlet-like second act (Little Red and Jack (of beanstalk fame are the other two), explain that choices have consequences and everyone is connected in "No One Is Alone."
It the characters sound like those folks encountered during childhood bedtime stories they may possibly come to life for some audience members during Act I. but that familiarity ends when Sondheim who composed the music and lyrics and Lapine who wrote the book, offers a scathing reality check in Act II.
The musical, garnering several Tony Awards including Best Score and Best Book when premiering on Broadway in 1987, pulls a moralistic, anti-happily after plot from stories primarily conceived or popularized by 17th century French fairy-tale founder Charles Perraultan ("Cinderella," Little Red Riding Hood") and 19th century German folklore authors and collectors, the Brothers Grimm (Rapunzel, Snow White). "Jack and the Beanstalk" is an English Fairy tale popularized by Joseph Jacobs started out n 1734 as "The Story of Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean."
It all starts with "Rapunzel" when a husband steals veggies called rampion or rapunzel from the garden of a next-door neighboring witch to make his pregnant wife happy. The witch catches him and makes a deal to leave the couple alone if they will give her theirthe baby to raise. This story is uncovered when that man's son, the Baker, and his wife are lonely without children and learn it's because of the witch's curse.
And so the musical is about what people wish for and their journey to achieve it. The witch tells them the curse will be removed if the couple brings her a "cow as white as milk, cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn and slipper as pure as gold" in three days.

Iowa Hires McCaffery as Coach
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Growing up in Philadelphia, Fran McCaffery acquired the nickname of "White Magic" because of his talent as a basketball player.
Iowa fans now hope that McCaffery can work some black and gold magic in his attempt to rebuild the men's basketball program, which is coming off three consecutive losing seasons for the first time since the early 1930s.
McCaffery, 50, will be introduced at Monday morning at Carver-Hawkeye Arena as the new Iowa coach.
McCaffery and his family landed Sunday evening at the Eastern Iowa Airport and were taken by car to the University of Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame.
Iowa players arrived at Hall of Fame shortly after to meet McCaffery, who spent the previous five seasons as the coach at Siena, which is in Loudonville, N.Y.
Iowa point guard Cully Payne said earlier in the day that the players were told not to speak to the media.
McCaffery also wasn't made available for comment Sunday.
Siena Director of Athletics John D'Argenio made the following statement about McCaffery being hired at Iowa: "On behalf of the Siena community, I would like to congratulate Fran on being named the head coach at Iowa. I thank him for his dedication and commitment to Siena basketball the past five years and for his commitment to the values and traditions of Siena College.
"When Fran accepted the opportunity to coach at Siena, we knew that he was a skilled coach, recruiter and mentor and that he could help us bring success back to Siena basketball. His accomplishments brought national recognition to Siena and instilled pride in the campus and Capital District community."
McCaffery will replace Todd Lickliter, who was fired as the Iowa coach March 15 after just three seasons.
McCaffery led Siena to the NCAA tournament in each of the past three seasons. The Saints finished 27-7 this season, losing to Purdue in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Former Iowa player Kenyon Murray said Sunday he was surprised that Iowa picked McCaffery because there wasn't much mentioned about McCaffery during the nearly two-week coaching search. More attention was focused on Dayton coach Brian Gregory, Utah coach Jim Boylen and Tennessee assistant coach Steve Forbes among others.
"The reason I'm surprised is he's coming from the East Coast and most of the coaches we focused on had Midwestern-type ties," Murray said. "I know familiarity with the landscape and the conference are big things.
"So for me, I have to be honest and say it was a surprise."
Murray, who played at Iowa from 1992-96, said he will attend today's news conference to show his support as a former player. He also was trying to contact other former players to encourage them to attend.
"I think we need to be there to show our support, and we need to show the coaching staff coming that we're here to be allies and help in anyway we can," Murray said. "I think there is more of a motivation of myself and some of the other guys to become more involved with the university and the basketball program.
"And I think it'll be important for a number of us to be there (Monday)."
Murray said he met McCaffery for the first time when McCaffery was trying to recruit him to play for Digger Phelps at Notre Dame. McCaffery spent 10 seasons as a Notre Dame assistant coach before becoming a coach.
McCaffery also was a standout point guard in high school and on the AAU circuit. He starred in an AAU league that had mostly black players, which earned him the nickname of "White Magic," bestowed on him by a local sportswriter.
McCaffery played his freshman season at Wake Forest before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania.
This will be McCaffery's fourth head coaching job at a Division I school, but his first at a BCS program. He also was the coach at Lehigh and North Carolina-Greensboro before taking over at Siena in 2005.
In 1985, McCaffery became the youngest coach in America when Lehigh hired him at the age of 26.
Mike Gatens, the father of Iowa player Matt Gatens, said his family hosted McCaffery when Lehigh played in Iowa's tournament several years ago.
"He's a really nice guy, and he's done really well at Siena," Mike Gatens said.
Recruiting analyst Van Coleman said McCaffery's time as a Notre Dame assistant coach should help him recruit at Iowa.
Coleman said McCaffery's biggest challenge at Iowa will be to establish recruiting ties in a different region of the country.
"The big thing that Fran has is that he has recruited high major, he spent 10years at Notre Dame," Coleman said. "The staff has a good, solid base of that.
"Now the big thing is they're going to have to now reaffirm that and reconnect and re-network because when you're recruiting mid-major guys and most of their recruiting was done in the east, they're going to have work hard to re-establish connections. It may be important to see who else is on the staff before you know."
Siena averaged at least 77 points per game in each of the past three seasons under McCaffery.
Playing style was an issue during Lickliter's time at Iowa because his teams rarely scored more than70 points in a game and fans eventually became frustrated with the slower pace.
"I think the other thing that Iowa fans are going to love," Coleman said of McCaffery's coaching style. "They run. They're athletic. They'll press. So those are all things that are positives. It's going to be that reconnection and re-establishing that I think is going to be the real key."
McCaffery and his wife, Margaret, have three sons and a daughter. The McCafferys met while they were assistant coaches at Notre Dame.
Margaret McCaffery, formerly Margaret Nowlin, was a standout player at Notre Dame. She scored 1,312 points during her Notre Dame career.

How Access to the Right Technologies Drives Performance Gains
There's a lot of talk these days about digital transformation — the altering of business processes and models to take full advantage of technology. Digital transformation is proven to bring competitive advantages and levels of productivity and customer service never thought possible.
The key is to recognize that digital transformation isn't just about technology. It's about empowering users with the tools they need to be more efficient and effective. Giving users greater access to the apps they prefer helps to power employee initiative and management trust.
In its annual study of the state of the digital workspace, VMware focused this year on the role of employee empowerment in digital transformation. The survey of more than 2,000 CIOs and end-users in enterprise organizations around the world was conducted from June to August of 2017 by Forbes Insights. It found that making applications readily accessible — anytime, anywhere on any device — can drive measurable gains at the individual and organizational level.
The right business applications and productivity solutions are capable of transforming the individual employee's workday through faster decision making, increased productivity, better collaboration and higher job satisfaction. When apps are available and highly accessible, employees spend 17 percent less time on manual processes, and make decisions 16 percent faster. Compared to traditional employees, empowered employees are almost five times more likely to report gains in personal productivity (63 percent versus 14 percent), and nearly four times more likely to report that their company is a desirable place to work (55 percent versus 14 percent).
Employee-level actions add up to superior enterprise performance. With empowered employees come increases in revenue, service quality, and the successful recruitment of talent.
- Empowered employees report almost double the increase in service quality compared to traditional employees (17 percent versus 9 percent).
- The HR function is improved with most respondents reporting it was "very important" for them to be empowered with cloud and mobile business applications for recruiting (69 percent) and onboarding of new employees (59 percent).
- A majority of CIOs (87 percent) believe that revenue can increase by more than 5 percent over three years when employees are empowered.
However, the report also found a disconnect between the perception CIOs and employees have of the availability and utility of technologies, and the freedom of employees to access the tools they want and need:
- 72 percent of CIOs believe their company is a pioneer and leader in providing cutting-edge technologies to employees, but only 40 percent of employees do.
- 47 percent of CIOs strongly believe they are providing their employees with the apps and tools they need to do their jobs, but only 24 percent of employees strongly agree.

A Sound Heart – By Shaikh Tahir Wyatt
The Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلمsaid about the heart: Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it is healthy, all the body is healthy and which, if it is diseased, all of the body is diseased. Truly it is the heart. [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The spiritual health of the heart is affected by the evils of sins like envy, pride, despair, evil desire, conceit etc.. These sins when left unchecked cover the heart until the heart loses its spiritual life and is hardened, preventing the goodness of emaan, taqwa, tawakkul, khushoo' etc. from developing a healthy heart that is acceptable to Allāh و سبحانه
تعالى who says:
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, "But only he (will prosper) that
brings to Allāh, a sound heart
– Translation of the meanings of Al-Qur'ān, Ash-Shu'ara:88-89
In this seminar Ustādh Tahir Wyatt discusses the following االله شاء إن:
1. importance of the heart from an Islamic perspective
2. identify qualities of a healthy heart
3. identify diseases of the heart
4. clarify the negative impact of sins on the heart
5. dua'a (supplications) for reformation of the heart

Purpose: Although under the last decade there has been increased interest in management of project-based teams and numerous examples of such relationships exist, relatively little is known about "the dynamics of shorter relationships". Management of communication between partners involved in short-term project-based relationships and the ways, in which multiparty value is created as a result, form a task for important and necessary research in marketing theory and practice. This study aims to define whether there exists a positive relationship between management activities that can influence the communication environment within project-based groups and effectiveness of collaboration between participants.
Research question: In what role management incentives can positively influence communication and collaboration within a network of the external parties involved in a project?
Approach: The research design for this study includes a literature review and a longitudinal observational case study. The aim was drawing on and extending important ideas of research on organizational management of project-based teams. On the basis of literature review aspects that have the most influential impact on communication within project-based networks are organized in a integrative framework that gives an image of factors influencing relationships in project-based teams. The theoretical model is proved through a qualitative study of project-based teams performance. Data was collected through the use of meetings observations, email interviewing of participants and informal interviews.
Findings: Although sensemaking and relational exchanges are distinct concepts in the extant literature, this study illustrates the ways in which the two are interconnected: the social processes of relational exchanges between project participants engaging in the proceses of sensemaking and the ways of approaching relational exchanges that would facilitate the process of sensemaking. On the basis of the theoretical discussion how projects are operated while being embedded in a context of networks of external participants we elaborated that for successful project performance management of project-based networks should play facilitating and supportive role of creating a framework enabling mindful behaviour and collaborative processes of problem-solving.
Research limitations/implications: Even this study highlights previously overlooked connections between literatures on relational exchanges and organizational sensemaking by giving attention to a diverse range of issues concerning project-based business networks, further research in this direction may be useful for deeper understanding of the processes. Firstly, the generalizability of the findings presented here remains to be tested. Secondly, the aspects influencing relational exchanges in short-term project setting identified here may not be exhaustive: they could be supplemented by the discovery of other aspects, perhaps through data collected from project setting of different type. Thirdly, although relational exchanges can vary in sense of communication and collaboration intensity, it was outside the scope of this study to address the issue at this level of analysis. Despite these limitations, this study has made an attempt to draw up the findings that may have some implications for both research and practice.
Value of research: As revealed in our study, a set of management incentives may help in creating a positive environment for efficient communication and collaboration within a project. It suggests that management incentives should try to organize a trust like environment that will provide much of incentive for partners to work together non-opportunistically during their relational exchanges and much of the assurance necessary for exchange partners to feel comfortable with this arrangement. The results of the study clearly shows that applying management methods will help shortcut the process necessary to establish the working norms necessary for functional communication and collaboration between participants.

I was home in Northern NJ, getting ready to drive down to Rutgers, since I commuted my first year. My mom was stuck on route 80, headed East, and never made it into work that day- she just sat on the highway, listening to the radio, with thousands of others. My dad was in the firehouse that he worked at at the time, waiting to hear if they would need to go in. I watched the news unfold on a tiny tv in my bedroom, and saw the smoke out my back windows. No one believed it was terrorism at first, it was surreal, just like you mentioned.ReplyDeleteReplies
The reporters were trying their best to not say the word 'terrorist', because up to that point, they'd probably have to explain what that meant. Rte 80 must have looked just like the belt parkway and city streets here, a complete standstill. Such a different impact it had on you, your father and family.Delete
Touching Post Farin. The moment is easily brought to harsh reality from TV clips and other news information. And, we as a country have all been paying for it ever since, in our privacy, travel, and overall small things indicating life will never be the same in the USA. I was the Director of a nonprofit in Philadelphia in a popular location on the 17th floor, confused if we should stay or go, wondering if we could be next, we left. God Bless All Those and their Families in the many losses of this day. Never Forget.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's discouraging to hear people complain about the xrays and getting powder placed on their hands (I get it every single time) to test for explosives. But, good! Imagine having lost a mom, dad, spouse or child, and hearing those before you complaining about the inconvenience of removing their shoes.Delete
I think at this point we all know to leave the buildings, but at the time the idea of terrorism must have been so abstract. Now, if anything happened on the Eastern coast, everyone would evacuate, no doubt. Even the vibrations from the earthquake a few years ago brought everyone downstairs, and they all remembered the attacks and thought it might be more planes.

Researcher Joe Berry, from Carnegie Institution for Science, said this is the first time photosynthesis has been directly observed on a large scale.
Other approaches use model-based estimates to detect large-scale photosynthetic activity. These approaches are indirect and their accuracies have been difficult to evaluate.Read more at Carnegie Institution for Science

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo was scheduled to launch the 35,000 MW electricity program at Pantai Samas, Yogyakarta, on Monday, May 4, 2015. Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said explained that Pantai Samas was chosen as the location of the program launch since a wind power plant (PLTB) with a capacity of 50 MW is being built in the area.
"We're writing a new chapter in the history of renewable energy in Yogyakarta. It reflects our commitment to develop renewable energy," Sudirman said on Sunday, May 3, 2015 in Yogyakarta.
The development of the wind power plant, Sudirman added, will last for three years and will be fully operational in 2018. Sudirman explained that the wind turbine in the area would neither disrupt flights nor parasailing activities.
Amin Subekti, director of the State Electricity Company (PLN) said the 35,000 MW program cosists of 20,000 MW steam-fueled power plants that would require an additional of 80-90 tons of coal per year, 3,700 MW renewable power plants and 13,000 MW gas-fired power plants.
"These will require an additional demand of 1,100 BBUTPD gas, excluding the current 1,250 BBUTPD," Amin said.
Amin added that the 3,700 MW electricity will consist of 1,200 MW geothermal power plant, 2,400 MW hydro power plant, and 120 MW wind power plants.

After winning the Great Lakes Concrete Series Super Stock Championship last season, Kris Lawrence is set to move up a step on the racing ladder, tackling the Pro Late Model division at Delaware Speedway.
"This year is shaping up to be a really good season," he told SHORT TRACK MUSINGS. "It will be a little different for me going back to a weekly program since I have spent the past few seasons running part time when i could. The Great Lakes Series was ideal for our team last year being a limited schedule, but still hitting some big races and two really fun tracks (Sunset Speedway and Sauble Speedway) to race at."
Being that it is his rookie campaign, the goals are remaining realistic with a focus on finishing every race that he runs this season, with hopefully a trip or two to victory lane.
"In past seasons, a DNF puts a sore spot on a season and I was fortunate in my super stock to finish all the races," he commented. But I feel like I let some good finishes slip away because I couldn't finish a race for whatever reason."
Lawrence's dive into the Pro Late Model program comes at a great time, with the division seeing a rise across the province between Delaware Speedway, Flamboro Speedway, and the APC Series.
"I think the PLM division is really interesting right now," he commented. "The APC series is doing an awesome job and is looking like it will have a really strong field this year. Right now several tracks have similar rules and I think it's going to be good for growing the division. A lot of people are building new cars which means there is a lot of good equipment up for sale for people to move up.
"I was actually looking to move into more of a Limited Late Model and see how things went. But with tracks getting on board with the APC rule package or similar variations and the big Jukasa (Motor Speedway) show, Pro Late Model was the way to go. PLM is definitely the top division/car I have ever competed in so I'm hoping 10 years in a super stock will give me a good starting spot."
While the Late Model program will be primarily focused on at Delaware Speedway, there is a chance you will see Kris Lawrence at other tracks across the province, as he hopes to travel with the bone stock.
"I would like to try and make it to a couple different tracks this season," he commented. "I haven't even made it to Peterborough to watch a race so hopefully Autumn Colours is on the list this year, even just as a spectator. I haven't ever raced at Full Throttle (Motor Speedway) mainly because of the haul, so may possibly make a trip.
"The last track I would like to race is dirt, no specific track just never raced on the dirt so I think that's something worth trying."
His team acquired a pair of Colbalts at the end of the 2018 campaign to build into bone stocks, with cages installed as of right now. There is a possibility one of those cars will be built into a mini stock so Lawrence can run some of the bigger shows this season.
"I would like to travel with my late model, but I think tires will be a big factor this season just because of how many more races are in the schedule for this year," he added. "I will likely travel to a few tracks with a Bone Stock car, and I will have to find something to make sure I get on track at jukasa again this year.
"I will be following the APC (Series) tour as a crew member this season, but the series definitely brings out a strong field and I wouldn't mind throwing my hat in that ring once I get some seat time in the car. At the end of the day, sponsors and crew will limit what all I end up racing. Going from part-time to full-time has really made it clear running competitively with only my mom for crew and next to no sponsors isn't going to work this year so we are still in the process of working on that."
As noted, Lawrence is coming off an impressive season that saw him win the Great Lakes Concrete Series Super Stock Championship with consistency across the six events, highlighted by a victory at Sunset Speedway in September.
"The series had some really great racing and I was glad to be a part of it," he commented. "I just wish more of the big contenders were able to run it full time. Each race had a lot of really good cars but there were a lot of people that only ran a couple shows and I think it would have been interesting if they had run more of the races.
"It was huge for me to be able to finally get a win with that car and to get a championship tops it off. I won a championship in 2010 at Delaware in the last car my dad ever built. After that, my brother and I decided to build a new car with Mike McColl and unfortunately life forced me to a part-time schedule and we weren't able to dial in the car like we needed to. So to finally win a race/championship in the first car I really had a hand in building was probably my favourite part."
For Lawrence, racing is something that has always been in the family, with his dad racing from the time he was born. His start behind the wheel came in 2006 with a Junior Late Model, a year after his brother Jordan got started.
"Then I moved into my dad's super stock in 2008," he recalled. "I have run primarily at Delaware Speedway occasionally travelling to other tracks. 2018 was the most travelling I have done to race and now I have just a few tracks I would like to get to in the next couple years."
Through the years, he says the most memorable moment has to be winning his first super stock championship in 2010 for a couple different reasons.
"I won it in the last car my dad ever built and raced, with most of the same guys who used to help my dad," he commented. "It's really special to have won the same division and track championship that my dad was able to win."
For others who are looking to get into racing, he says the best thing to do is to ask questions and talks to other drivers in the pits.
"Some of my toughest competition on the track has turned out to be the most helpful in the pits," he said. "It can be overwhelming to get into this sport when you look at all the tools, gear, equipment and resources to run a season but you don't need to get it all at once and it helps to work with people when you are just getting started.
"I have a driver, Kassy Howard, who will be running her 4th season in one of my bonestock cars at Delaware Speedway. This all came to be from a conversation I had with her father in the beer tent about her getting into racing. I may have another bonestock car that I am looking to put some young drivers into this season, So really the easiest way to get into the sport is to start talking to people already in it."

Nice tank. It doesn't have that Russian tank look ,that many of us are so familiar with.
I'm kinda hoping Zvezda will make one in 1/100 scale…
I'm sure there will be more of the kits than actual tanks though!
Glad you like it my friend!

In a stunning act of bravery, sources report that area man Gus Stevenson ordered a 3-chili menu item at a local Indian restaurant. "He usually gets 1- or 2-chili dishes when we go out which is already too much for me," said Gus's wife Cheryl. "So when he said he was getting a 3-chili dish, I was nervous, but Gus assured me he could handle it. He cracked his knuckles and armed himself with a fork like he was going into battle. Our waiter strongly advised that he opt for something milder, but Gus was determined to conquer those three little chilis." At press time, Stevenson was tending to his wounds with a large helping of naan.

Background: While the association between involuntary tobacco smoke exposure and lung cancer is well established, few studies with sufficient power have been conducted to evaluate the relationship between involuntary smoking (IS) and lung cancer by histological type, especially for the association between IS and small cell lung cancer among nonsmokers.
Methods: We evaluated the associations between IS and lung cancer by histological type based on a pooled data of the International Lung Cancer Consortium (ILCCO). The individual-level epidemiological data from 17 participating studies were pooled, including 2,218 non-smoking lung cancer cases and 6,243 non-smoking controls. Logistic regression models were used to obtain adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), using SAS v9. Likelihood ratio tests were used to assess heterogeneity by study site.
Results: Among never tobacco smokers, IS exposure was associated with lung cancer with an adjusted OR of 1.33 (95% CI 1.18, 1.50), compared to never exposure to IS, when adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, and study site. Similar associations were observed in different histological types of lung cancer with adjusted ORs of 1.38 (95% CI 0.97, 1.98) for squamous cell carcinoma, 1.26 (95% CI 1.08, 1.46) for adenocarcinoma, 2.92 (95% CI 1.55, 5.48) for small cell lung cancer, and 1.30 (95% CI 1.14, 1.49) for non-small cell lung cancer. Similar associations with ever IS exposure were observed when the overall population including nonsmokers and smokers was included in the analysis. No apparent association was observed with IS exposure in childhood.
Conclusion: This is the first study with a relatively large sample size investigating the relationship between IS exposure and small cell lung cancer among nonsmokers. Our results corroborated the association between IS and lung cancer regardless of histological types, including adenocarcinoma, and we observed the strongest association between IS and small cell lung cancer. Our study provides more precise estimates of the impact of IS on major histological types of lung cancer and suggests the importance of smoking intervention for lung cancer prevention, especially for small cell lung cancer type.

'IPL is our biggest property and we can't afford to undersell' : MSM president network sales, licensing & telephony Rohit Gupta
Multi Screen Media (formerly Sony EntertainmentTelevision India) is beginning to enjoy a remarkable turnaround story. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has surfaced as cricket's most lucrative property, Sony Entertainment Television has climbed to the No. 2 position in the Hindi GEC (general entertainment channel) space andSab has grown beyond its flanking channel status.
The other channels have also moved up the hierarchy. English movie channel Pix has raced past HBO and AXN has protected its turf quite strongly. Mix, the pure music channel, has had a good start. Being the only channel in that space that has network strength, it has taken up the challenge to grow the market and ramp up revenues.
In an interview with Indiantelevision.com's Sibabrata Das, MSM president network sales, licensing & telephony Rohit Gupta talks about how the company is going to end this fiscal with a 40 per cent ad revenue growth and a 25 per cent growth in FY'13.
MSM raked in Rs 9 billion in ad revenue from the IPL last year. But is growth slowing down for the property due to a fall in ratings in the previous edition of the T20 tournament?
Are we looking at a below double-digit growth as is evident from the deals that you have locked in so far?
So has IPL as a property matured?
Hasn't it been a tough sell so far as by this time normally you manage to close almost 80 per cent of your ad inventory?
The IPL TV rights are with us for another five years and it is our biggest property; we can't afford to discount its current value. T20 continues to grow in popularity; the formats that are not doing so well are the Tests and the ODIs.
So the new BCCI tender for international cricket played in India will not be as valuable as it was when Nimbus held the TV rights a few years back? Will that be the calculation when Sony bids this time?
When Sony launches a sports channel, it will have to acquire other cricket rights than just the IPL and New Zealand board. Can ad rates be driven further up to support aggressive bids at higher acquisition costs for cricketing properties than their current value?
Are we seeing some categories of advertisers retrenching from the sport due to the current tough economic environment?
When will MSM's ad revenues touch the Rs 20 billion mark?
How far has SET contributed to this growth?
Fiction is what we had missed out for the last 3-4 years. But it has started doing well. We have an upscale, urban skew; our male viewership is also very strong. Advertisers chase this segment and our fitment is the best.
Will SET launch an afternoon band to create a new revenue stream or still have a primetime overhang?
|Does Sab still play the role of a flanking channel or it has grown beyond?
It is not anymore just a flanking channel; it is a proper GEC, has a strong viewership and, as a family comedy channel, is uniquely positioned. Sab has helped our network revenues to grow.
|Has the Hindi GEC ad revenue market expanded this fiscal and will we see more channel launches in this space?
It (Hindi GEC space) has now become a game for the big boys. There is an entry barrier for new players as the cost of running a Hindi GEC is as high as Rs 5-6 billion. Which new player has that appetite after a few of them have severely burnt their fingers? This has helped us even as our own channels have grown. Even in a digital environment, it will be tough for a new player. Segmentation is not possible because GECs have to be mass and can't be niche due to the huge costs involved to run it.
Is Max under pressure due to steep acquisition costs for Hindi movies?
There is bound to be a price correction in movie buying. Though Star went overboard last year, that strategy won't work every year. Some broadcasters are looking at launching action movie channels keeping digitalisation in mind. We have no such plans, at least not this year. We will wait to see how digitalisation evolves. Like GECs, the consumption of Hindi movies is more mass.
|Why did MSM decide to launch a music channel when the market is too crowded?
Though the ad size is around Rs 2 billion at this stage, it is a good genre to be in. Mix's positioning of capturing the various moods during the day has got accepted and we believe that we will be the leader. As a pure music channel, we are here to grow the market. MTV and Channel [V] have taken a different route and focus on reality shows as their growth drivers. While other players in this pure music space have a standalone presence, we are the only one to have the network strength and will be able to ramp up revenues.
|Isn't the English entertainment space getting spoilt with new launches?
The genre is growing and is still undersold. It is an important space to be in and is sold not on ratings but on perception. AXN stands out in this genre. As digitisation grows, we will see more launches.
|MSM doesn't have a footprint in regional-language broadcasting that is growing the fastest. Was letting TV18 Group acquire ETV a missed opportunity?
The acquisition has to come at the right price. We are not desperate to launch channels. We do not believe in width that does not give us profits.
