Norwegian-African Business Summit: Investing in Africa's infrastructure
This month's Norwegian-African Business Summit (October 30, Oslo) is the Nordic's leading business conference focusing on investment opportunities on the African continent. Last year 350 participants attended, and 21 African nations were represented. AIR FRANCE KLM is proud to sponsor the event for the fourth consecutive year.
The theme for this year's summit – which you can also attend, early bird discounts apply until October 10 – is 'Mapping the African Infrastructure Landscape'. The conference will address the main challenges and opportunities facing African infrastructure development. One of the questions the conference deals is how the current infrastructure deficit in several countries can also be a good investment case. Club Africa asked Mr. Eivind Fjeldstad, Managing Director of the organising Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA), about the content and impact of the conference.
What is the nature of business between Norway and Africa?
"The major focus has traditionally been on shipping, oil & gas, and to some degree renewable energy. Now you see much more of the latter, for example within solar and hydro power - but also companies from sectors such as property development, finance/investments, aquaculture, education, ICT and technology. The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund is also one of the major investors in East Africa with more than € 62 million invested on the Nairobi stock exchange."
What about the future?
"I think there is a huge potential for more trade between Norway and African countries. It will also be interesting to see if Norwegian companies manage to play a part in the Green revolution in Africa - we hope our agribusiness session will help to present this potential. One of our founding members, Yara International, the global fertiliser company, is already leading the way - but we hope to get more companies from this sector on board."
The conference also focuses on impact investment in Africa?
"Impact investments are important, as they are socially responsible investments. Impact investment serve as a guide for various investment strategies. According to the definition of the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN): 'Impact investments are investments made into companies, organisations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social and environmental impact alongside a financial return.' One of the NABA members, the impact investment group Voxtra, will co-host a session on impact investment in this year's Summit."
What are the biggest problems to overcome in Norway-Africa business?
"We believe more knowledge about African countries, and the investment opportunities on the continent, is one of the key challenges. This is also why the Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA) hosts seminars, conferences and business missions – to fill this knowledge gap. This year we are also launching an investor guide, hoping to inspire more investments."
What will be the outcome of this conference?
"We hope our Summit will lead to more Norwegian investments in African countries, more connections made between African and Nordic business communities and increased awareness and knowledge about the many investment opportunities in Africa among the Norwegian business people. We especially invite African business delegates to join us in Oslo, and we are pleased that KLM offers attractive fares to Oslo from all African destinations during the time of the conference."

text: There are three types of slip-and-fall injuries that commonly occur in winter conditions. The first is when your feet go out from under you, and you hit the ground bottom-first. This can cause low back injury, mid-back injury, and is particularly damaging when it occurs on stairs, due to the multiple angles of impact on your body. Problems resulting from this type of fall can include pelvic sprains or disc injuries, both of which can be treated with chiropractic.

My hubby is given homework by his neuropsychologist and in many ways it's a good thing. Some things seem too advanced for him (doesn't have the tools to deal with it or doesn't see how it relates to him) and I have bought other books on my own that were recommended as forerunners. It is something he needs to do. However, when the psych sort've loosely suggested that we both could read the last book recommended I made it clear that I would only glance at it out of curiosity. I'm not the patient. It seemed rather insulting especially in the context of discussion that had been going on.
For me, sometimes books, forms, etc. really are meaningless. That meaninglessness just adds to the frustration.
> Well, for me I would definitely say "hardheaded".
> He gave me real homework to do this session (a handout) and I daresay he's already sorry he did. I'm torn between a desire to please him, and a strong revulsion at the ridiculousness of what he's asking me to do.
> My desire at the moment is to fill it out in such a way that leaves him in no doubt of how angry I am at such puerile assignments. But my fondness for him will likely lead me to do it properly, if in ill grace.

China's first astronaut returned to Earth a national hero and, although Hong Kong is feting Yang Liwei (
Yang will press the flesh and take the stage with local Canto-pop singers as he tours Hong Kong in his first public appearances since he orbited the planet 14 times.
Beijing hopes Yang's visit will instill Hong Kong with a bit of the patriotism it has lacked since the handover from British sovereignty six years ago, but that may be a bit of a stretch. Many Hong Kongers remain leery of China, and many who watched Yang go into space basically shrugged it off.
"It's nothing new -- America did it years ago," said David Choi, a 51-year-old Hong Kong businessman.
Unlike their adoring counterparts in China who have seen Yang glorified in state-run media, many Hong Kongers don't seem to muster much affection for Yang or his trip to the territory.
"It's just a gimmick," said Fion Ho, 39, an accounting clerk.
"I won't feel anything just because of his visit," said 29-year-old Stanley Tong, who owns a photo processing shop.
China hopes to melt the ice with a people-friendly itinerary that includes meetings with students and an appearance with local pop stars Nicholas Tse (謝霆鋒)and Joey Yung. Yang was set to fly in late yesterday and stay through Wednesday.
While local attitudes toward China's regime have softened, Hong Kong people are still coming to terms with their nationalistic sentiments, said Michael DeGolyer, a political scientist who's been conducting polls on the subject.
That's even true of some people who welcome Yang as a hero.
Retiree Joseph Lau called Yang's flight in the Shenzhou 5 space capsule "the pride of all Chinese." But Lau admits he's a little less proud of the country he left in 1937.
"Everything has improved" in China since then, said the 73-year-old former telegraph worker, but he still harbors doubts.
"I didn't have a sense of country before," Lau said. "Now I'm gradually developing it."
Some people attribute a lack of affection for the motherland to Beijing's choice of the man to lead Hong Kong, the unpopular Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa (
"I've always liked Britain better," said Irene Au, a 21-year-old university student. "The economy was in better shape under the British."
As for Yang's space mission, she said she thought it was "blown out of proportion."
Pro-Beijing figures charge that Tung's government has done too little to encourage patriotism.
"National identity is not an electrical switch you can just turn on, but we're not even laying the groundwork here," said Ma Lik, a delegate to China's National People's Congress and a leader with the territory's top pro-Beijing political party.
Ma called Yang's visit a good start, but he said patriotism should be promoted more systematically from childhood.
Ma believes singing the national anthem and raising the Chinese flag should be mandatory in the territory's schools.

Banco de Gaia is an electronic music project from England, formed in 1989 by Toby Marks (born 1964, South London). The music of Banco de Gaia is mostly categorized as ambient dub and downtempo. Marks works to cross genres, often using Arabic and Middle Eastern samples against a bass heavy reggae, rock, or trance rhythm to produce deeply textured tracks that progress layer upon layer. In 1978, Marks began his musical career as a drummer in a heavy metal band. Marks moved to Portugal in 1986 and played Beatles music for tourists. He first delved into electronic music in 1989, when he bought a digital sampler. The first tune he recorded on it was called "Maxwell House". See for more.

Reviews for Volvo S60
Overall Rating
Great car, unbelievable deal
Comfortable, quiet, smooth, really fast, solid car. what else can you ask for? Drives like a dream. Highly recommend getting the T6 engine if you can find one. Worth it for the extra 50 horsepower. Volvo's interior styling and quality is second to none in its class. The leather is of a higher quality and feel than other luxury cars I have been in. I would take this over a 3 series or an A4 any day of the week. It has ruined all other cars for me.
Better than anticipated
Better car than I thought it would be, quality of construction. No need to slam doors to close them, just nudge them to close and its done. Much faster than I thought it would be, once turbo kicks in, its about as fast I want to accelerate so merging onto the interstate is easily done. Car is quiet and stable at speed so you have to watch the speedometer. The car can creep up to 90+ without any really sense the car is going faster except you realize you are passing everyone else. Just FYI, top speed I've read is limited by the computer at 138 MPH. The S60 handles well, is comfortable and has a better sound system than I've ever had in my house.
One of my first favorite rides for a while
I've always liked the new Volvo style, but the new S60 in 2012 came out blazing. I had the premium design, all leather interior with, at the time, first auto-stop and accident prevention feature that was standard on all Volvos. That alone made the car 3X safer than other similar cars in the price range. The handling was always so smooth, love the turning radius, there wasn't any noise or crackling like in cheaper brands. I love that the interior surfaces were all soft, not cheap hard plastic, it makes a huge difference when you get into and out of the car banding, hands or feet by accident. It felt like the quality was all around me. I loved the connectivity to my iPhone, was always so seamless, and the trunk with folding seats was A+.

When To Impose Professional Death Sentences?
Accountability is the word of the week.
Whether the subject is Jeff Bezos holding responsible the National Enquirer.
Elizabeth Warren still being dogged by claims as to her heritage.
Or the many Virginia politicians fighting for survival.
With regard to the latter, here is the lesson:
While it's tempting to reach a conclusion at the outset, we're better served stepping back, letting the facts come to light, and then applying our common sense, collective wisdom and non-partisan critical thinking.
Instead, in the political arena, too often the first whiff of scandal has caused a rush to judgment, often dependent upon the party of the accused.
The floodgates opened after revelations that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page contained racist photographs. Clumsily, Northam initially took responsibility, but one day later denied he was in the subject photo.
He says it wasn't him.
Still, many want his resignation.
On Thursday, the Washington Post lead editorial was headlined: "Ralph Northam must resign." The Post argued that his "shifting and credulity-shredding explanations" were just too much. After conceding that it was "reasonable" when last weekend, Northam said he would hire a private investigator to learn the truth just four days later, the Post ran out of patience.
That's the epitome of a rush to judgment.
And once-Presidential contender Julian Castro sent out a tweet demanding that Northam resign, the other candidates had to quickly follow suit or look like somehow they were condoning his as-yet-unexplained situation.
Another example of the rush to judgment came in the Daily Mail Thursday morning, this story was splashed across the front page of the highly-trafficked website:
To the casual observer, it looked like North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper had *himself* appeared in blackface, or that he belonged to a fraternity that was involved in such hijinks.
But neither was true.
A careful reading of the story revealed that in 1979 – 40 years ago – Cooper was a fraternity brother at UNC-Chapel Hill's Chi Psi.
But the racist attire was worn by members of Chi Phi.
It wasn't even his fraternity! Yet his face was on the home page of the web site that reported the "news."
This sense of "gotcha" is out of control.
Of course, we need accountability. But not in the absence of evidence and critical thinking.
Here's a tough one.
Many immediately called for the resignation of Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2004. The fact that Fairfax has said the sex was consensual did not lessen the demands that he resign.
His right to a presumption of innocence is really being tested now that a second woman has come forward with a rape allegation – which Fairfax labels part of a coordinated smear.
That there were multiple claims against now-Justice Kavanaugh didn't stop his nomination, so we're not sure how this ends.
The case of Governor Northam has its own complexities. His adult life has been one of service and building bridges across racial lines.
Remember, after the divisive events of Charlottesville in 2017, when some were ascribing blame to "both sides," it was Northam who appropriately said:
"White supremacists have descended upon Charlottesville again to evoke a reaction as ugly and violent as their beliefs – just as they did before, I am urging Virginians to deny them the satisfaction."
We really *don't* know what happened in the case of the Virginia Governor – or the Commonwealth's Attorney General for that matter.
All we know for sure is that in 1984 the Virginia Governor dressed like Michael Jackson at a dance contest.
And we know that in 1980, the Virginia Attorney General dressed as rapper Kurtis Blow at a college party, and those things we know because each told us, no doubt out of fear that it would soon come to light.
Assuming that's all there is, should one picture in poor taste with racial overtones ruin a person's later professional life?
Where is the preservation of a route to redemption?
And as if that's not enough for anyone, Thomas Norment Jr., the Virginia Senate's Republican majority leader, was a top editor of a 1968 college yearbook at Virginia Military Institute, that included pictures of students in blackface and racist slurs.
Here's the point:
Each of these cases is different and must be evaluated based on individual facts.
They present problems of restraint for members of the public who have a natural inclination to reach conclusions quickly – and challenges for the press.
There is tremendous pressure on journalists – and elected officials for that matter – to notdemand fact-finding.
Many people accept as true a mere *assertion* of racism or sexual misconduct without investigation or corroboration and are hostile to those who don't presume the credibility of the complainant, who do presume the innocence of the alleged perpetrator, or who simply wish to inquire further.
If you don't believe me, wait for some of the social media reaction to my plea for restraint.

Lilja Ósk Snorradóttir Icelandic Producers on the Move at Cannes
Producer Lilja Ósk Snorradóttir has been selected to represent Iceland in this year's Producers on the Move, the networking platform for up-and-coming producers organized by European Film Promotion (EFP), which takes place annually during the Cannes Film Festival. The festival will take place from May 14-25.
20 producers from 20 different countries will take part in the event.
Lilja has worked in the film industry for more than twenty years and is currently managing director of the production company Pegasus Pictures, where she has produced or coproduced films and TV series such as Rúnar Rúnarsson's Sparrows, Joe Penna's Arctic, and Reynir Lyngdal's The Cliff. Lilja is currently working on the postproduction of Rúnar Rúnarsson's upcoming feature, Echo, and has several projects in development.
The selection of the producers is based on their already acclaimed work and first international co-productions. They have experience in an international co-production, but are still on their way to becoming international players. At Producers on the Move the upcoming producers attend pitching sessions, one-on-one speed-dating meetings and gain various opportunities to build up business relationships. The initiative is aimed at connecting young, enterprising European producers with potential co-production partners, strengthening their industry networks and, at the same time, providing a solid and visible platform for this next generation of European filmmakers.
EFP's longstanding programme, now in its 20th year, is financially backed by the Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the participating EFP member organisations.

This article covers why and how Facebook should be used by B2B companies to get the most impactful marketing results.
Understanding psychology and techniques of persuasion allows us to influence the behaviour of our customers and prospects, and if done correctly, to improve marketing results and revenue.
Like a gold prospector searching for a rich seam, finding the optimal marketing mix for a unique business is something many people toil away at for years, sometimes finding specs of gold but rarely hitting the mother lode.
The customer journey begins before your product or service has been discovered and ends after a successful sale has resulted in referred or repeated business. If your business isn't discoverable, then it can't realize its full potential for success.
There's an old saying where I grew up: "If you want to a catch fish, don't sit in the corn field." This seemed like a silly saying when I was young, but as I've grown older (and hopefully wiser) and have gained more experience in the marketing space, this saying has actually started to resonate…
For some businesspeople, branding can be a controversial topic. It is often misunderstood due to its lack of tangibility and associated difficulty of measurement. Of all the tools in the marketers quiver, it's probably the one that takes the longest to have an effect and as such, results are diffuse and can blend into the…

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to exterior facing panels attached to outer walls of a structure such as buildings. More particularly, it relates to exterior facing panels which can be effectively prevented from deforming due to contraction or expansion thereof caused by change of outside temperature, and also which can be effectively prevented from bedewing by attaching an adiabatic plate between the exterior facing panels and an interior frame on which the panels are attached.
2. Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 5 shows an example of the exterior facing panels of prior art. In FIG. 5, the end portions (12a) of the side faces (11a) of the exterior facing panels (10a) are bent exteriorly (to the left direction of the side face in FIG. 5) so that the adjacent end portions (12a) are close or next to each other on the frame (40a). The end portions (12a) are fixed directly to the frame (40a) by connecting means such as fasteners. When outdoor temperature changes, the exterior facing panels suffer from contraction or expansion caused by the temperature changes and deform because the panels have no room to absorb the physical changes of contraction or expansion thereof. Therefore, in response to the change of the outer temperature, the panels become uneven in the surface. The panels tend to have bad appearance and be relatively weakened, unstable or undurable in structure and duration of use thereof are reduced. In addition, since the panels of prior art have the outward-bent end portions (12a) mentioned above, the panels tend to be easily damaged and to hurt bodies of workers when being handled. Moreover, the out-bent end portions (12a) essentially require using additional fixing tape for fixing adiabatic materials (50a) filled in inner portions of the panels. Furthermore, the panels having the outward-bent end portions (12a) are relatively inferior in loading or stocking or carrying because of their geometric structure.
In view of the problem of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide the exterior facing panels having the following characteristics: the size change of the panels caused by the temperature change can be absorbed; the occurrence of bedewing on the panels or the frames can be prevented; the adiabatic materials can be filled within the panels without additional fixing tape; the panels have relatively superiority in loading, stocking, carrying or handling, and the panels are especially physically safe when handled by workers.
In accordance with the present invention, the exterior facing panels for outer walls of the buildings comprising a plurality of panels, each of the panels comprising a top face; side faces connected to said top face and bent downwardly from the edge of the top face; inward-bent end portions connected to said side faces and bent inwardly into the panel in substantially right angle with respect to said side faces, and said inward-bent end portions supporting and holding an adiabatic material filled within the panels, the side faces including engaging holes extending laterally across some parts of the side faces in a manner that the adjacent engaging holes of the adjacent side faces of the adjacent panels do not face oppositely with each other; and a clip having a claw for engaging with said engaging hole, a holding portion for engaging with said inward-bent end portion of the panel, a connecting portion for connecting the clip with a frame which is used for structurally holding and supporting the exterior facing panels, and an adiabatic plate attached to a bottom of said connecting portion for preventing heat or cold from transferring between said panels and frames.
Preferably, in the exterior facing panels, a size of the claw of the clip inserted into the engaging hole is smaller than that of said engaging hole.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be discussed in detail below with reference to the attached drawing figures.
FIG. 1 is a partially broken-away sectional side view of an exterior facing panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional side view of the exterior facing panel in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a sectional side view showing the exterior facing panels of the present invention installed on the frames.
FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the exterior facing panels of the present invention installed on the frames.
FIG. 5 is a sectional side view showing the exterior facing panels of the prior art installed on the frames.
The brief description of reference numerals of drawings is as follows:
|10: Exterior facing panel
|11: Side faces
|12: Inward-bent end portions
|13: Engaging holes
|20: Clips
|21: Claw
|22: Holding portion
|23: Connecting Portion
|30: Adiabatic plate
|40: Frames
|50: Adiabatic Material
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the exterior facing panels (10) has a top face, four side faces (11) connected to the top face and bent downwardly, and inward-bent end portions (12) connected to the side faces (11) and bent inwardly to the panels (to the right direction of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3), in right angle with respect to the side faces (11). Engaging holes (13) are formed on, and extended laterally across some parts of the side faces (11), preferably, located on the positions adjacent to corners of the side faces (11) in such manner that the adjacent engaging holes (13) of adjacent opposite side faces (11) of adjacent panels (10) do not face with each other, as shown in FIG. 4. As a result, adjacent clips (20)(described below) of adjacent panels (10) can be engaged with the corresponding engaging holes (13), and fixed on the frames (40) without interfering with each other.
Each of the clips (20) comprises a claw (21) for detachably, idly, and firmly engaging with the corresponding engaging hole (13), a holding portion (22) for firmly holding the inward-bent end portion (12) of the panel (10), and a connecting portion (23) for connecting the clip (20) with the frame (40) with, for example fasteners, such as a screw.
Also, the clip (20) has an adiabatic plate (30) attached to the bottom thereof. The claw (21) of the clip (20) has a bent end inserted to the engaging hole (13).
In addition, the holding portion (22) of the clip (20) has a bent end firmly fixed to the inward-bent end portion (12) of the panel (10). Preferably, sizes of the claws 21 are smaller than those of the engaging holes (13) so that the space formed between the engaging holes (13) and the claws (21) can absorb contraction or expansion of the panel caused by the temperature change, as described above.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the exterior facing panels (10) installed on the frames (40), and FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the plural exterior panels (10) installed on the frames (40).
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, each clip (20) is fixed on the frame (40) via the adiabatic plate (30) by, for example, fasteners. The adjacent clips (20) of the adjacent panels (10) do not face and contact with each other. They are located laterally side by side.
The adiabatic plates (30) attached to the bottom of the clips (20) can prevent heat or cold from transferring between the panels (10) and the frames (40).
Finally, the reference numerals 50 in FIG. 3 of the present invention and in FIG. 5 of prior art indicate all the adiabatic materials filed within box-like panels (10).
In accordance with the panels of the present invention mentioned above, the present invention has the following characteristics:
First, since the sizes of the engaging holes (13) are larger than those of the ends of the claws that are inserted in the engaging holes, the spaces formed between the engaging holes and the inserted ends of claws can absorb the side change of the panels in both vertical and horizontal directions according to contraction or expansion caused by temperature change.
Therefore, the panels of the present invention can keep evenness and good appearance in the surfaces thereof and can maintain relatively good durability and long life.
Second, the adiabatic plates (30) of the clip (20) can effectively prevent bedewing by insulating the heat or cold transferred between the frames (40) and the panels (10) via the clips (20).
Third, since the panels (10) have box-like shapes in part by inwardly bending the end portions (12), the adiabatic materials can be received and effectively fixed therein without additional fixing tapes which is essentially required in the panels of prior art material, because the inward-bent end portions (12) of the panels (10) can support and fix the adiabatic materials received within the box-like panels.
Fourth, the outward-bent end portions (12a) of prior art frequently have physically injured workers, and tends to be damaged by contacting them with other articles when workers handling the panels of the prior art. However, in the present invention, there is nearly no possibility to hurt workers by the inward-bent end portions (12) or to damage the panel by contacting other articles.
Fifth, the panels of the present invention are relatively superior to those of prior art in loading, stocking, carrying, or handling because the geometric structure of the inward-bent end portions thereof.

Rest in peace Penny Marshall.
Three hours of Survivor tonight!
Here's a quick rundown heading into tonight's season THIRTY-SEVEN's finale.
Someone won another season of The Voice last night. Mazel tov. And no, I'm not linking to anything because honestly, you don't care nor do I.
The guys that showed up for CT's wedding: Tony, Derrick, Shane, Leroy and Wes (+Cara Maria). Not the 5 on whom I would have had my money.
I'm equally surprised that Tiffer didn't win Ink Master.
Bravo is rebooting Queer As Folk. "The new version, which will feature new characters in a new setting, is described as a modern take on the original British series that centers on a group of club-going friends who find support in the gay community following a tragedy."
"NBC has announced midseason premiere dates for four returning and two new series. The Voice will air Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m., and March 5 at 8 p.m. It will return April 23 at 8 p.m. The third season of World of Dance will air Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. and return to its regular timeslot on March 3 at 8 p.m. Season 2 of Good Girls returns March 3 at 10 p.m, and comedy series A.P. Bio comes back March 7 at 8:30 p.m. New series The Enemy Within will air Feb. 25 at 10 p.m., and The Village will premiere March 12 at 10 p.m. and April 2 at 9 p.m."
CBS has been paying Les Moonves' legal fees. Weak.
"Facebook provided 'dozens' of its corporate partners with secret, privileged access to user data in deals that continued into 2017, and in some cases are still active, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The paper said the partners, among them Netflix, Amazon, Spotify and Microsoft, were effectively exempted from Facebook's privacy rules and received more access to user data than did Cambridge Analytica. The report, which cites documents as well as interviews with about 50 former Facebook employees, contradicts testimony Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave to Congress earlier this year."
"MTV has ordered new series Made in Staten Island from Mob Wives"star Karen Gravano, the network exclusively tells TheWrap. Karen is the daughter of former Gambino crime family underboss Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano, and the mother of Made in Staten Island star Karina.
"Made in Staten Island follows a group of young Staten Island, New York hustlers as they work to step out from the shadows of the once mob-driven island. These friends will either choose wisely or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations, per MTV's series description.
"The eight cast members are below, where there are also links to their Instagram pages and brief bios. All of that came courtesy of MTV, and how could we possibly take it away from you?
Karina (@karinaaseabrook) has a mafia bloodline and attitude to match. Luckily, she has the guidance of her grandfather, Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano.
Paulie (@pauliefusco) is a true hustler always striving for the top. His girlfriend, Karina, has kept him out of the street life.
Kayla(@kayla.gonzalezz) is the muscle of the crew. She has a reputation for never backing down from a good Staten Island fight.
Dennie (@dennieaugustine) is the 'Godmutha' of the circle. She has thick skin, and learned to use her wit to get out of any situation.
Christian "C.P." (@718cp) is a lover and a fighter. He has a big heart and swag that makes all the girls swoon.
Taylor (@taylorotoolee) is a 'guy's girl' with no tolerance for attitude or disrespect.
Joe (@joeotoole) is the 'charmer of the South Shore' who is constantly tempted by the fast money from the streets.
"In addition to Karen Gravano, Adam Gonzalez and Daniel Blau Rogge also executive produce the series.
"Made in Staten Island premieres Monday, Jan. 14 at 10/9c on MTV."
Per Bloomberg, "NBC Universal's boss sent a holiday greeting to employees this week, and it contained an intriguing hint about the coming year.
"Steve Burke, head of the Comcast Corp. division, suggested that the company might unveil an online TV service in 2019 -- though it's hard to know how seriously to take a message written in the rhyming style of Dr. Seuss.
"'While you all go off to relax, swim or ski,' Burke wrote. 'Maybe, just maybe, next year we will announce our plan for OTT.'
"The initials are a reference to 'over-the-top' services that provide video content to customers via the internet rather than a traditional satellite or cable TV subscription.
"Burke, who oversees the NBC network, cable channels such as USA, and the Universal theme parks and movie studio, has yet to announce a streaming product like those planned by rivals Walt Disney Co. and AT&T Inc.'s Warner Media next year. But Comcast is getting such a service through its acquisition of Sky Plc.
"The whole industry is rushing to compete with Netflix Inc., which continues to amass subscribers and programming for its dominant streaming platform.
"In his holiday note, Burke also lamented that Comcast lost out to Disney in a bidding war for 21st Century Fox's entertainment assets.
"'During 2018 our businesses mostly rocked,' he said. 'But it did not feel at all good when Disney got Fox.'
"The executive noted the disappointing performance of the Dwayne Johnson film Skyscraper, while praising hits such as Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the NBC show New Amsterdam and results at the Spanish-language network Telemundo.
"'Even though Skyscraper did not quite deliver, we come back next year with Pets 2 in our quiver,' he said."
"Jerry Stiller — who famously played George Costanza's dad on Seinfeld"— says he was always confused about the on-screen family's heritage.
"In a video appearance at the Museum of the Jewish People at Beit Hatfutsot gala at the Mandarin Oriental on Monday, the veteran comic said, 'It was never really clear if the Costanzas were Jewish or Italian or what they were. Jason [Alexander, who played George], Estelle [Harris, who played Estelle Costanza] and I were given the name Costanza, which sounds Italian, but there were episodes where I cooked Jewish food and ate knishes and kasha varnishkes in bed.'
"Stiller added, 'When people asked me about this, I would simply say it was because we were a Jewish family in the witness protection program.'
"A replica of Jerry Seinfeld's apartment is part of the Tel Aviv, Israel, museum's new exhibit on Jewish humor.
"'What about the Costanzas' living room? What are we, chopped liver? Oy, serenity now!' Stiller quipped."
Per The Hollywood Reporter, "The woman behind Endeavor's portfolio of brands is stepping into the spotlight as the subject of an upcoming Starz docuseries.
"Bozoma: Being Badass will follow Bozoma Saint John as she explores the issues and topics that impacted her personal and professional journey. Each episode is expected to feature Saint John interviewing people who have been through the experiences she discusses, like losing her husband to cancer.
"Filming on the series is expected to begin in early 2019. Alex Lowry (Anthony Bourdain: Parks Unknown) will executive produce alongside Saint John and Anjula Acharia. Endeavor Content, the production arm of WME owner Endeavor, is not involved in the project.
"Saint John, 41, joined Endeavor in June to help it define its portfolio of brands, from Miss Universe to UFC. She had previously served as chief brand officer at Uber and was instrumental in its image revamp following a series of reports about the company's unhealthy corporate culture. Prior to Uber, Saint John oversaw consumer marketing for Apple Music and iTunes and rose to fame after she participated in a keynote at Apple's World Wide Developers Conference.
"Bozoma: Being Badass will join a Starz lineup that includes dramas Outlander, American Gods, Sweetbitter and football docuseries Warriors of Liberty City.
From Mayim Bialik: "This is the point in my life where I write about losing love. It's the point where I second guess myself with every single touch of the keyboard. It's also the point where I realize how powerful the relationship I have with everyone who comes to my website is.
"You don't get to know all of the details, and it won't be featured on the cover (or even in the pages of) a tabloid magazine. My love story is nothing particularly exceptional. I mean, he was—er, is. I was an exceptional iteration of myself with him. For five years in fact. And now it's over.
"If ever there were a story that should have ended not like this, I feel this might be it. But he has his own will and much as I wish I could control his will, I cannot. And so here we are.
"There is rarely good timing for a break up. But most certainly, the worst time is now. In case he is reading this, I'm just meh with this timing. Because say what you will, the holidays are a time to not be recently broken up. I know this much is true. The air is full of clarity and possibility. Cheer abounds and people seem friendlier (except for that guy who called me 'f—ing stupid' in front of my 10-year-old for walking too slow at the mall). Commercials tell me this is the time of year to buy the woman you love expensive jewelry. It's also when people get proposed to. And I would be lying if I said it didn't enter my mind that this holiday season might hold a promise of a secure future for me.
"But as religious people like me tend to do, I see this as an unfolding of my journey that only a Power greater than myself can know and understand. If you're happily coupled and expecting a proposal this holiday season, that's terrific. If, however, you're recently single and your heart hurts, here are my tips for surviving this season without being sent to jail for assaulting a woman as her fiancé proposes to her in the middle of the mall:
Exercise helps elevate happy chemicals in your brain, and trust you/me, you're gonna need it. Walk your neighborhood. Force yourself. Walk while weeping—I've done it. Nothing to be ashamed of. Move your body.
Resist the urge to bring your phone or even headphones with you for music listening when you work out: Be in the silence as you move your body. You're likely to feel things. It's important. Don't run from feelings; you can't just shove them down. Emotions, like pee, have to find a way out eventually. Let it happen. It's okay to cry. It's actually important to cry. It's part of grieving.
No sad music. I put myself on a moratorium of sad music. When we broke up the last time (two years ago), I listened to SO MUCH ADELE that my children would weep when they heard the music blaring; but not from sadness, from misery at hearing Adele AGAIN. I would listen and cry and cry and cry, and I decided this time around to not feed that kind of crying. Organic crying from just being in my feelings feels like enough this time; I don't need to force myself to get to that place. I'm getting there plenty on my own. My sons know to shut the radio off IMMEDIATELY when any Ed Sheeran song comes on with the exception of Shape of You, which is so peppy I can't help but bounce around to it. Say You Won't Let Go by James Arthur needs to be avoided like the plague. Because that song is just too much of everything. (I have never thrown up from drinking like the lyrics say, but other than that, it's pretty perfect.)
Know your limits. I can't go to every bloody party I'm invited to alone. I want to be that person who can, but I'm not and I can't and that's okay. I have gone to some parties alone this season and I have done my best, but I also know when it's time to go home and be with my cats and wear slippers and watch documentaries on Netflix while working on an impossible puzzle and sipping some Manischewitz Concord grape. (Wow, that sounds like my dating profile right there, huh?) Don't push yourself or feel bad if you're not up to being perky and inspiring. You're sad. It's normal to be sad when you have had a loss.
Perspective, people. Find it. Whatever it looks like for you. There are people in tragic circumstances right now. All over the world, people are suffering and in need. We can get through this season alone. I can even be alone for a long time if that's my path. I have many other things to work on, work for and work toward. I am one speck of the universe and I can get help when I am in need. If you are not getting support from compassionate ears and hearts, seek the assistance of a therapist, school or work counselor or social worker, or go online and find help in your area. But also remember to be grateful for blessings, even if they are small. There is light at the end of this.
"I'm sure I could give you other advice like 'Don't sleep with your ex' and 'Don't try to be friends yet.' But there's that Dua Lipa song New Rules, which I think sound pretty smart, so listen to that.
"Chances are you'll find someone else. Chances are having random sex with people you aren't emotionally connected to or committed to may not be the answer, but maybe it is. Who knows? You do you.
"As for me, I've got a half bottle of Manischewitz, four cats, and a wicked puzzle waiting for me. And for now, I am grateful in my tears and in my sadness for small blessings. They abound even now.
You have to know darkness in order to see light.
Fall down 9 times, get up 10.
All attachment is suffering.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
With every door that closes, another one opens.
You don't have to see the whole staircase in order to take the first step.
Say you won't let go.
Just say you won't let go."

Mike Chiesl is a contestant from Survivor: Redemption Island.
Mike started off as part of the Zapatera Six, which he used to reach the merge. There, he found the alliance in the minority, and, overthrown by the Ometepe Six. His physical abilities led to him being their second casualty, and although he was able to remain in the game through Redemption Island, he had to defeat his fellow alliance members along the way. He would be eliminated at the final duel, placing 6th.
Retrieved from CBS.com
Name (Age): Mike Chiesl (31)
Tribe Designation: Zapatera
Current Residence: Del Mar, Calif.
Occupation: Iraq War Veteran
Personal Claim to Fame: Bringing all my Marines home after my first deployment to Iraq.
Inspiration in Life: My grandfather. He was a B-17 Navigator during World War II and spent two years in a POW Camp.
Hobbies: Scuba-diving, football and golf.
Pet Peeves: Selfishness and laziness.
3 Words to Describe You: Determined, disciplined and outgoing/outspoken.
SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Rudy. Nobody was intimidated by him, so he wasn't voted out early and he had the ability to tough it out.
Reason for being on SURVIVOR: Winning the competition and earning the million dollar prize.
Why you think you'll survive SURVIVOR: The mental toughness I've developed from serving in the Marines and playing college football at the US Naval Academy.
Why you think you will be the Sole Survivor: I like to think outside of the box, and I am socially aware and strong athletically.[1]
Mike, in the beginning of the game, was part of the majority Zapatera Alliance along with David, Sarita, Ralph, Steve, and Julie, who all had the common goal of eliminating Russell the first chance they got. After having won the first two Immunity Challenges, Mike and the others agreed that it was time for Russell to go, and Mike himself stated that "There's some fat on this tribe that we need to trim (referring to Russell)". After throwing the third Immunity Challenge, Mike went with the split vote plan, which got Russell voted off on Day 8. Mike felt it important to win the next Immunity Challenge to avoid karma, and that's what happened. But unfortunately after that, Zapatera would lose the next 3 Immunity Challenges. Mike's alliance stayed strong to vote off Kritsa, but then after that some division became apparent between David and Sarita which made Mike unsure at first on whether to vote off Stephanie or Sarita, but in the end he voted for Stephanie for being untrustworthy and being the last remaining member of Russell's alliance. At the next Tribal Council, Mike, Julie, Steve, and Ralph were stuck between David and Sarita, and they voted off Sarita (save for Ralph) for being weaker.
When teams merged, Mike tried to get Andrea and Matt to flip over to Zapatera. Mike barely lost the first Immunity Challenge to Natalie and felt like he was a target. So Ralph used his Hidden Immunity Idol on Mike, but Boston Rob's plan was to blindside his ally Matt, wasting the Idol and Matt was voted out in a 6-5-1. Mike would be voted off at the next Tribal Council by a vote of 6-5.
Mike would stay on Redemption Island for 2 weeks, outlasting former Zapatera tribe members David, Julie, and Steve. In the duel following Steve's elimination, Mike had to chose between having the Redemption Island inhabitants (himself, Ralph, and Matt) spend time with their loved ones or the players still in the game (Rob, Phillip, Grant, Ashley, Natalie, and Andrea) spend time with their loved ones, and Mike decided to give the most to the most people in letting the final 6 in the main game spend time with their loved ones. Matt was a bit bummed but felt like it was the right thing to do, but Ralph said that Mike made a dumb move. Jeff stated that if Mike were to return, he would benefit a lot from that decision. Ralph would be eliminated in the next duel, making Mike the last Zapatera member left in the game and the only one to make the finale. In the final duel between him, Grant, Matt, and Andrea, Mike lost out to Andrea in the end, finishing the game in 6th place and becoming the 7th member of the jury.
At Final Tribal Council, Mike voted for Boston Rob to win.

- On a blog post, Jeff Probst wonders whether Mike decided to let the 6 players left in the main game at the time spend time with their loved ones instead of having the Redemption Island residents spend time with their loved ones based on genuine kindness or because he thought that would be a good move if he were to make the Final Three. Ultimately, Jeff thinks that it had to do with a little bit of both.
- Mike lost 27 lbs. during his time on Redemption Island.[3]

Three days prior to the start of the Giro d'Italia the team got together in Turin for a few days of training. The opening stage of the Giro was a team trial so it was important we become accustomed to riding with one another in formation and refine our technique. Bobby Julich, who is a coach with the team and was a time trial specialist and Olympic Medalist, was there to guide the team and give us advice. During the race he sat in the passenger's seat of the team car and relayed all of the key course information to us over the radio.
To me, the TTT is one of the most beautiful events in cycling as it not only requires complete sacrifice from every rider but also selflessness. To ride fast everybody needs to be constantly thinking of their teammates as any sharp acceleration, poorly taken corner, or bump in the road can have a detrimental effect on the whole squad. Rhythm, fluidity and a constant steady speed will ensure that a team carries the momentum to travel as fast and efficiently as possible. It is also the only event where the whole team can stand on the podium together and celebrate the victory.
Here are a few photos of the team training before the start of the Giro d'Italia.[nggallery id=29]
I agree 100% I fell in love with the TTT back in 1987 when Roche led Team Carrera to victory.

In a previous study, strategic and clinical quality indicators were developed from a tentative model to assess high quality in postoperative pain management. The aim of the present study was to investigate the content validity of these 15 indicators. The indicators were compiled in a questionnaire, and two groups of nurses (n=210, n=321) scored each indicator on a 5-point scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree) from three different standpoints: whether it was essential for achieving high quality, whether it was realistic to carry out, and whether it was possible for nurses to influence management. The respondents were also asked to choose the most crucial indicators for the quality of care. The results showed that both groups of nurses judged the 15 indicators to have content validity from all three standpoints. Both groups also found the same six indicators to be the most crucial. These indicators concerned detecting and acting on signs and symptoms, performing prescriptions, informing and educating, acting on behalf of patients, competence/knowledge, and attitudes. The validated indicators should be useful to consider when implementing a strategy for postoperative pain management and when planning to evaluate the quality of care.
The aim of this thesis was to identify important aspects of surgical nursing care, designing strategic and clinical quality indicators in postoperative pain management, investigate content validity, develop and evaluate psychometric properties of an instrument to measure the indicators, test the applicability of the instrument and investigate patient and nurse assessment.
To identify the important aspects of nursing care which might impact on quality of care in surgical wards, it was conducted 4 focus group interviews with clinical nurses (n=20). A tentative model with 15 categories in 2 dimensions, elements of performance and prerequisites, emerged from the data analysis. The categories were, e.g. detecting and acting on signs and symptoms, informing and educating, promoting relationships, responsibility and attitudes. The model was used as a foundation for developing indicators in postoperative pain management, one in each category, each supported by a literature review. To assess the content validity of the indicators, a questionnaire was compiled and sent to registered nurses with a special interest in pain (n=210) and to a random sample of clinical nurses working in surgical wards (n=321). The groups assessed the indicators as essential for achieving high quality, realistic to carry out and possible for nurses to influence management. The first group validated 14 of the 15 indicators and the second group validated 12 as "major" factors in terms of being essential to achieve high quality of care. The remaining factors were classified as "supportive". No indicator was discarded.
To measure the indicators, an instrument was developed and psychometric properties were evaluated. The indicators were converted to statements suitable for a patient questionnaire and were scored on a 5-point scale with higher values indicating higher quality of care. Patients (n=198) answered the questionnaire on their second postoperative day. The inter-item and item-total correlation coefficients were in a satisfactory range, and Cronbach's coefficient alpha (0.84) supported internal consistency reliability. Four sub-scales, entitled communication, action, trust and environment emerged from the factor analysis with a total variance of 61.4%. The total scale correlated (rs=0.53) with the single item pain-relief-satisfaction question. The patients who reported more pain than expected scored lower on the total scale and the patients who received epidural analgesia reported higher scores on the total scale. A nurse questionnaire, similar to the patient questionnaire, was compiled. The responsible nurse at the time (n=63) answered 196 questionnaires paired with the individual patient. The new instrument appeared to be useful in identifying important areas for improvement both from the patients' and nurses' perspectives, based on the number of disagreements (1 and 2). Differences were found among departments. The patients' assessments on the environment sub-scale and the overall satisfaction question were higher than the nurses' assessments. The findings suggest initial support for the instrument as a means to measure the quality of nursing care in postoperative pain management. Key words: quality indicators; health care, pain; postoperative, focus groups, psychometrics, questionnaires, nursing care.
