MTG Announces USD 11 million in Investments in Gaming & Esports Startups in 1H 2019
Modern Times Group MTG AB, the Swedish operational investment company focusing on the most promising esports and gaming entertainment opportunities worldwide, today announced its latest VC Fund investments ahead of the company's Q2 2019 financial report.
MTG has to date made 20 investments in 16 companies totalling USD 21 million thus far from its VC fund to complement its majority stake investments in companies like ESL and DreamHack in esports
- Investments in 1H 2019 amount to a total of USD 11 million including capital commitments and span start-up and growth companies in the United States and Germany.
- MTG has to date made 20 investments in 16 companies totalling USD 21 million thus far from its VC fund to complement its majority stake investments in companies like ESL and DreamHack in esports and Kongregate and InnoGames in gaming.
- MTG has its HQ in Stockholm, Sweden, and operates through itself and through its portfolio companies in 30+ countries worldwide.
Among the investments are Redwood City-based Dorian, Austin based game developer Tonk Tonk Games, gamer rewards platform Playfull from Los Angeles, German game studio Sviper founded by Ex-InnoGamers and San Diego-based GoMeta, totalling USD 11 million in 1H 2019.
MTG owns 100 percent of Swedish DreamHack and over 82 percent of German founded ESL
the two largest brands in esports worldwide. Its largest VC investments in terms of estimated value are BITKRAFT fund LP positions, AppOnboard, Phoenix Labs, the Play Ventures fund LP position and Sviper. It also owns majority positions in San Francisco-based game studio and publisher Kongregate and German game developer and publisher InnoGames, famous for its hit game Forge of Empires launched 2012 that recently surpassed EUR 500 million in lifetime revenue.
"Gaming and esports is the future of entertainment, and we are excited to invest in what we believe are seven of the most promising early stage startups with excellent teams, products and ideas", says Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, President and CEO of MTG.
MTG AB complements its majority stake investments with seed and series A round investments in early stage start-ups in gaming and esports through the MTG VC Fund. The ambition is to make 8-10 deals per year: 60 percent in gaming, 30 percent in esports and 10 percent in AR/VR through lead or co-invests with other top VC's. Since the launch of MTG's VC Fund in November 2017, the fund has made 20 investments in 16 companies.
"We are already seeing attractive valuation upticks based on latest financing rounds in our investments, such as Phoenix Labs, AppOnboard and the BITKRAFT seed fund. Deal flow and value creation opportunities continue to improve now that we have established MTG as a leading game & esports VC in the West", says Arnd Benninghoff, EVP esports and games at MTG.
Phoenix Labs recently released its first game in Epic store, AppOnboard recently acquired a no code game creation platform and the BITKRAFT seed fund recently realized an attractive exit of portfolio company The Esports Observer.
In 2018 there were about 2.4 billion video game players in the world, but industry analysts expect that number to grow to 2.9 billion as early as 2022 (Source: Newzoo) – and the global esports audience reached 395 million in 2018 and is expected to grow to 645 million by 2022 (Source: AT Kearney).

MAN UNITED'S chances of signing £100million man Jadon Sancho have collapsed after failing to secure Champions League football, reports say.
Borussia Dortmund's teen superstar had been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford, as United looked to fend off competition from European giants.
But any possibility of Sancho signing for United over the off-season collapsed when the club failed to finish in the top-four, according to The Independent.
That will come as devastating news to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who planned to rebuild his team around the 19-year-old forward.
SunSport reported in March that Sancho would turn down a move to United as he wanted to remain loyal to Dortmund.
England youngster Sancho is said to be concerned about whether the environment at United would be suitable for his current progression.
But the South London lad has plenty of choice should he decide for a change this summer.
TOTS TV7 times kids caused absolute chaos on live TV - from hijacking a news report to PEEING on This Morning
No kidding aroundParents share their kids' laugh-out-loud comebacks but some are so brutal they'll make you wince
Sign of the timesFrom paralysis cheese to adulteress meat… The world's worst translation fails revealed
Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are keen on the tricky winger, while French moneybags PSG are also interested.
Any interested party would have to fork out the giant sum of £100m for a player expected to be one of the world's best in years to come.
Sancho has just finished his second year in the Bundesliga and has a three-year plan in Germany.

Florida Legislature In Limbo
The Florida House packed up early, saying they couldn't work through a stalemate with the Senate over health care funding.
A special session is likely as the two chambers were unable to pass a budget during the regular 60-day session.
But the collapse of the regular session took down some big bills like water preservation and left other legislation like Medicaid expansion in limbo.
To talk more about what made it and what didn't, 90.7's Matthew Peddie speaks with reporters Amy Green and Abe Aboraya.
And later in the program, University of Central Florida political scientist Aubrey Jewett joins Matthew Peddie to discuss the special session process – and how the two chambers will negotiate Florida's budget.

No Right Turn Markings
Reported in the Roads/highways category anonymously at 21:12, Monday 28 January 2019
Sent to Cornwall Council 3 minutes later
This junction has a no right turn sign opposite the actual juction but the road markings have completley worn away. Please can you arrange for the road direction markings to be renewed as this is a busy road and many fail to see the sign opposite the junction due to flow of traffic. There have been several vehicles turning right recently this is a safety issue for those using the pedestrian crossing as the lights are not visable to those making the illegal right turn.

However, since having the feet or hands rubbed is an enjoyable and relaxing experience for most people, there is little doubt that hand and foot reflexology can promote stress relief and a sense of well being in much the same way as any other form of massage. This therapy may be an especially useful complementary treatment for neuropathy of the legs, feet and toes. It can also be useful for sore hands and feet after a workout, running or taking a long walk.
Deep Tissue Massage also has incredible health benefits. The release of habitually tight muscles relieves chronic pain and speeds the healing of injuries. Balanced posture improves organ function and athletic performance. Overall, it relieves the stress and energy drain of chronically tight muscles improving general health and well-being for long term wellness.

Reflexology is one of the most used alternative therapies in Denmark. A national survey from 2005 showed that 21.4% of the Danish population had used reflexology at some point in life and 6.1% had used reflexology within the previous year.[14] A study from Norway showed that 5.6% of the Norwegian population in 2007 had used reflexology within the last 12 months.[15]
Sports massage is given within the four hours preceding an event to improve performance and help decrease injuries. It is used as a supplement to an athlete's warm up, to enhance circulation, and reduce excess muscle and mental tension prior to competition. It is normally shorter (10-15 minutes) than a regular conditioning massage, and focuses on warming up the major muscles to be used and getting the athlete in a good mental state for competition. It also improves tissue pliability, readying the athlete for top performance. Certain massage techniques can help calm a nervous athlete; others can be stimulating. Post-event sports massage is given after a competition and is mainly focused on recovery. It is geared toward reducing muscle spasms and metabolic build-up that occur with vigorous exercise. Recovery after competition involves not only tissue normalization and repair, but also general relaxation and mental calming. A recovery session can range from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours in length. For more, see our Comprehensive Guide to Massage.
Massage developed alongside athletics in both Ancient China and Ancient Greece. Taoist priests developed massage in concert with their Kung Fu gymnastic movements, while Ancient Greek Olympians used a specific type of trainer ("aleiptes")[27] who would rub their muscles with oil. Pehr Ling's introduction to massage also came about directly as a result of his study of gymnastic movements.
According to the Neuromuscular Therapy Center, NMT is one type of deep massage technique that focuses on applying manual therapy to soft tissue with "quasi-static pressure" in order to stimulate skeletal striated muscle. (17) In addition to massaging a painful or inflamed muscle, the area around the affected muscle that normally supports it is also massaged in order to release tension. NMT therapists often focus on several factors that can add to muscle or tissue dysfunctions, including joint pathologies, postural positioning, disruptive habits of use, nutritional components, emotional well-being, allergies and neurotoxins.
Sports Massage is a no-nonsense massage that helps stretch tight muscles, stimulates inactive muscles and improves soft tissue condition. Sports Massage will help you move your body more freely with more flexibility and in time can improve your posture. As the name suggests it is popular with athletes, as it enhances performance, assists recovery and prevents injury – benefits we can all enjoy.
Reflexology is an alternative treatment for a variety of conditions and has been in use for thousands of years. The ancient Chinese and Egyptians have documented practices similar to reflexology as a treatment for certain afflictions. It involves the reflexologist applying pressure to specific areas in the hands, feet, and ears that affect certain reflex areas of the body.
Reflexology is primarily used by many people as a method of eliminating pain. As an analgesic treatment, reflexology can reduce the severity of a migraine and headache, simply by relieving tension in the muscles that can often result in these conditions. A headache induced by stress can also be eliminated since stress and psychological factors often manifest in the physical symptoms of a migraine.
The American Commission for Accreditation of Reflexology Education and Training (ACARET) sets the standards for education required for the reflexology profession. It also credentials those involved with educating students of reflexology. The American Reflexology Certification Board (ARCB) has a three-part examination process to ensure the practitioner has met the standards set by the board. In order to be certified through ARCB, a minimum of 110 hands-on training hours must be completed.

Trigger points or stress points may also cause muscle soreness and decreased flexibility. These points are specific spots in muscle and tendons which cause pain when pressed, and which may radiate pain to a larger area. They are not bruises, but are thought by some to be small areas of spasm. Trigger points may be caused by sudden trauma (like falling or being hit), or may develop over time from the stress and strain of heavy physical exertion or from repeated use of a particular muscle.
Sports massage can be an interesting career choice for therapists who want to do it full time. Professional sports teams often have massage therapists on staff to keep athletes' bodies working at their very best. It helps to have a keen interest in anatomy and physiology, advanced training and experience in sports massage, an interest in sports, and a desire to work with athletes.
Massage may be an appropriate technique for helping certain sports injuries, especially muscle injuries, to heal. When treating an injury, however, it is best to seek advice from a qualified sports therapist or a specialist in sports medicine before performing any massage. Certain ligament and joint injuries that need immobilization and expert attention may be aggravated by massage.

Harry Potter Wizards Unite AR Game now available for download in India
Harry Potter Wizards Unite AR game is available for download in India. The game is available through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the Galaxy Store. The game is 60.8MB on the Galaxy Store, 61MB on the Google Play Store and 175.8MB on the Apple App store. The official website says that the game will continue to roll out to additional countries as well. You can check out the complete list of countries where the game is available here.
Niantic, the developer behind the game, isn't new to making AR games. In fact, it's the one that made the popular AR game Pokemon Go. The core concept of both games is quite similar. So, if you have played Pokemon Go, you should be comfortable with some of the mechanics of Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. However, the nuances of the game aren't as simple as flicking a ball to capture a Pokemon and there will be a learning curve to the game. It's needless to say that knowledge of the Harry Potter universe is key to understanding the creatures and elements you will tackle in the game.
The game is one that will get you out of the house to explore the real world through virtual eyes. Harry Potter: Wizards Unite combines content and characters from the original Harry Potter series and the Fantastic Beasts films. People will explore key landmark locations in the real world to find places and characters from the Harry Potter universe. The objective of the game is to help prevent "The Calamity" from being exposed to the secrets of the wizarding world.
The game will also expose players to key locations from the Harry Potter universe. Players will have to look out for "Portmanteaus", which can be unlocked to reveal Portkeys that will teleport them to known fictional locations. One of the locations highlighted in the press release is Ollivander's Wand Shop but we wouldn't be surprised to see Diagon Alley, Leaky Cauldron, the Three Broomsticks Inn and more.

Getting shortlisted for an interview means you are close to getting your dream job. And the success of getting hired relies on how well you perform in your job interview.
So start preparing for HR interview questions for freshers as soon as you get a call from a hiring manager.
Before approaching an interview, keep your resume ready. You can read CV Format for Freshers. It includes 7 tips to glorify your resume that will grab the interviewer attention for sure.
Compared to other job interviews, an Engineering/MBA job interview is difficult to pass. So being a fresh graduate make sure you are fully prepared for it.
5 HR Interview Questions for Freshers and Experience Candidate:
Followings are some common job questions which mostly hiring managers to ask from an Engineering/MBA fresh graduate. Make sure you go through all of them.
1. Tell Something About Yourself
It is the first question a hiring manager asks from any fresh graduate. Although it seems as if you are a school boy and revealing your daily routine to your teacher, yet you cannot overlook its importance. If you answer this question of a hiring manager in a more professional manner so that will increase your chances to get hired.
2. The Reason To Apply For This Position
It is another most common question hiring managers asks from graduates. The reason to ask this question is to know how much you have an idea about the job description and the skills required for this specific position. So make sure you are fully prepared to answer this particular question and it will increase your chances to get hired.
3. Why do you want to Leave Your Previous Company?
This is a tricky question.
You may be looking for the Job as you are not happy with a current place or your salary or lack of learning opportunities or internal politics…
This happens with many of us.
But when an interviewer asks you this question, don't ever bash your previous company. This leaves a bad impression.
If you are telling anything bad about your current company, you are just not being loyal to them. Rather, be thankful to your company.
So what should you answer?
Here is my answer.
It's been a long time I'm working with xyz (current company) in the same technology domain. I joind xyz just after completing my graduation. I'm very much comfortable working in xyz. But, I want to come out of this. I'm looking to explore some other opportuntites so that I can learn and contribute. I feel that I'm ready to take more challenges and responsibilities.
This is just a sample. You can tweak this answer as you feel more comfortable.
With this, you have given many takeaways for an interviewer to look you as the best candidate.
- You are loyal to the company you are working for.
- You are eager to learn and adopt new technologies.
- You are comfortable taking new challenges and responsibilities.
This is a hint to the interviewer that you are the most suitable candidate for their company.
(This answer is written by Aniruddha C.)
4. Your Knowledge About The Company
You hiring manager may ask you to reveal your knowledge about the company. And honestly, if you fail to answer this particular question so make up your mind that you will not get hired. It is because companies look for those skilled people who can really contribute to the success of the company. And it is not achievable for employees unless they have a deep insight into the company's goals and objectives.
Here is a list of another 2 Common HR interview questions for freshers. You must know if you are applying as a graduate.
5. Reveal Your Skills And Qualities
It is another question which your hiring manager may ask you. So make sure you answer it in a more professional manner. Keep in mind that your hiring manager is asking this question is because he wants to know how much you have confidence in your own self to handle pressure situations at the workplace. So never hesitate to reveal great skills of yours as that will benefit you a lot.
6. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
While answering this kind of question, don't tell about the designation. This is where most of us fail. This shows your greediness to hone the power.
Rather, tell them as you want to explore and master particular technology.
Suppose, I'm applying for Python developer job, here is my answer.
IT technologies are growing rapidly and new things are coming in every day. There are lots of opportunities to learn. In this time period, I would like to learn and explore Python programming as much as possible and applying it in a different domain. I want to be a goto person if anyone has any Python query.
You can also explain the future in that domain. Just like Python is the most versatile programming languages. The more I learn about it, I will find more opportunities to contribute to various projects.
Python is just an example. You can talk about any XYZ technology you are comfortable with. Make sure any technology that you are talking about is relevant to the current job offer.
7. Share A Story Of Handling Any Pressure Situation
The hiring manager is the one who evaluates you from all aspects. He wants to hire the best candidate for his company. So you can expect this kind of question from any hiring manager. The purpose of this question is to evaluate your maturity level as well as your leadership qualities. So make sure you remember any story of yours in which you leveraged your leadership qualities.

Wonders of Creation DVD - Transcription - Page #1Theodore Jaracz In the video to follow, you will find it to be of great interest to take a close look at Jehovahs creation. Although you will be amazed by the magnitude and intricacy of the physical world around us, look beyond the awesome material universe. See the qualities and personality of our Grand Creator. This will draw you closer to him. Is this difficult to do? Not really. But it does require that we make a conscious effort to contemplate Jehovahs marvellous creative works. Now, we warmly invite you to draw closer to your loving heavenly Father as you observe intently some of the wonders of his creation. father David could see who He is, His personality, by appreciating the things that He made. It helped him to draw close to God. You can draw close to Jehovah in the same way, from looking at what hes made on earth, to the stars above. Narrator Many enjoy looking at creation. But few realize that they are catching a glimpse into the mind and heart of our Grand Creator. Long ago, David learned about Jehovah through His inspired Word. But he also saw and drew close to Him through creation.
For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the worlds creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.Romans 1:20.son Hey, Dad, look! father Hey. Hes a fast little guy, huh?! Lets go check this out. You know, theres a lot of amazing things to see out here. But you cant see them all with your eyes. son What do you mean? father Remember our family study? You wanted to know how you could really be Gods friend, really get to know him. Remember? son Yeah, I remember. You said by studying the Bible. father Thats right! And studying Gods Word is the best way. But, theres another way. Take King David, for example. What do you think he saw when he looked at the night sky? son The stars? father Thats right, but he saw more than that. He saw Jehovah. son But how could he see Jehovah in the stars? People cant see Jehovah.
When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthling man that you take care of him? (Ps 8:3, 4)David loved Jehovah, and saw Jehovahs power, wisdom, and love reflected all around him. The world we live in today is designed to distract us from our Creator. Do you take time to look beyond the man-made world? When you do, even something seemingly common becomes extraordinary as you open your eyes to see the One who made it. Life, our planet, the starry heavens looking at these will help you see Jehovah, drawing you close to him. At Genesis 15:5, Jehovah invited Abraham to look up to the heavens and count the stars. How many stars could he count? Our Milky Way galaxy contains over 100 billion stars. Can we even comprehend such a large number? Lets try by comparing each star in our galaxy to a page in a book. How long would it take to examine those pages? At the rate of a page per second, it would require over 3,000 years! In order to count them in your lifetime, you would need to turn about 50 pages per second for every moment of your life. We lack ability to even count the stars, yet, Jehovah knows each one by name. Looking beyond our galaxy, astronomers are finding that sections of the sky appearing nearly empty from earth are actually filled with thousands of other galaxies. But did Jehovah scatter them randomly? Even at this colossal scale, elegant organization is seen.
There is One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell. (Isa 40:22)All of these massive celestial bodies are in constant motion. Their precise movements have been likened to the choreography of an elaborate ballet. Besides their vast numbers, the distance between stars is also mindboggling. Lets try to visualize the distance from our sun to its nearest neighbour star, Proxima Centauri.
Wonders of Creation DVD - Transcription - Page #2Imagine that we could shrink our Milky Way galaxy so that our sun was roughly the size of a soccer ball located near New York City. On this scale, Proxima Centauri would be almost 4,000 miles away, in Paris, France, a little smaller than a golf ball. Really, the sun is almost 25 trillion miles away from its nearest neighbour star. We only have to look at the stars to be filled with awe for Jehovah. Yet, as the book of Job describes, what we see are only the fringes of his ways. (Job 26:14) When the prophet Isaiah looked at the stars, he perceived Jehovahs qualities. Narrator But how did Jehovah form the earth to be inhabited? More abundant than any other substance on earth, water is often taken for granted. Yet, it is fundamental to life. By looking closer at water, what can we learn about the One who designed it? A single glass of water contains countless trillions of molecules. Each molecule has a deceptively simple design: two atoms of hydrogen attached to one atom of oxygen. The oxygen side has a slightly negative charge, and the hydrogen, a slightly positive charge. These opposite charges attract each other like tiny magnets, forming what are called hydrogen bonds. What results from this simple yet elegant design? As water gets colder, it contracts and grows more dense. However, unlike most liquids, as its temperature approaches the freezing point, something unexpected happens. Water begins to expand! As it freezes into ice, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules lock into place, crystallizing into a very open lattice. Due to this unique design, ice is less dense than liquid water and floats on top. This quality prevents much of the water in lakes, rivers, and even the oceans from eventually becoming solid ice. Instead, Jehovah created a natural insulator that preserves life in the liquid water beneath. Really, Jehovahs wisdom is seen in how he masterfully designed the sea and fountains of waters. (Re 14:7) This abundance of water could not exist if earth were not precisely placed within our solar system, some 93 million miles away from the sun! Had the earth been situated only 5% closer to the sun, scorching heat would have made life impossible. If the earth were placed only 1% farther from the sun, freezing temperatures would have covered much of the globe with huge sheets of ice. Jehovah also made the earth just the right size. If earth were slightly larger, its gravity would be stronger. Hydrogen, a light gas, would collect, being unable to escape the earths pull. In time, the atmosphere would be inhospitable to life. On the other hand, if our earth were slightly smaller, lifesustaining oxygen and surface water would escape. In either case, were the earth larger or smaller, life would not exist.
Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing. (Isa 40:26)And how much power was necessary in the creation of this universe? There is incredible power found even at the atomic level of matter, but man has often used it destructively. In contrast, as a potter with clay, Jehovah skillfully used his dynamic energy to make all the matter of the universe.
The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling. (Ps 19:1)In modern times, we have peered into the far reaches of space and seen creation at an awe-inspiring scale.
Yours, O Jehovah, are the greatness and the excellency. Everything in the heavens is yours. In your hand there are power and mightiness. (1Ch 29:11, 12)When we raise our eyes to the heavens, we are seeing evidence of Jehovahs unparalleled power. son Jehovah is powerful, but, do you really think he cares about each of us here on earth? father Well, he shows that he cares in how he designed a comfortable home, made just right for us. Think about outer space and how barren it is, and yet the earth, its an oasis. Remember what Isaiah said, The Former of the earth and the Maker of it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited. (Isa 45:18)
Wonders of Creation DVD - Transcription - Page #3Both its size and proximity to the sun reveal that Jehovah formed the earth even to be inhabited. (Isa 45:18) Orbiting around our planet, we have a faithful witness that Jehovah purposefully designed our home. (Ps 89:37) Is the moon merely an object of beauty made to adorn the sky? The psalmist states that Jehovah made the moon for appointed times. (Ps 104:19) What purpose does it serve? With a diameter one-quarter that of the earth, the moon exerts a strong gravitational force on our planet, stabilizing the tilt of the earths axis of rotation. Without the moon, the earth would probably wobble over long period of time from nearly 0 to 85 degrees. This would have an extreme effect on our climate. On part of the earth temperatures would soar, while elsewhere they would plummet. Keeping our climate and seasons consistent, our moon is at once beautiful and essential to life. It is fitting that the Bible calls our moon a faithful witness in the skies. (Ps 89:37) When you hear the gentle sounds of water, when you feel the warmth of the sun, when you gaze up at the beautiful moon, give thanks to Jehovah, the one who lovingly prepared our earthly home. (Ps 136) But what draws us even closer to Jehovah in a personal way is life itself and how he designed us to enjoy it. father Michael, look how much fun theyre having. Were not robots. Jehovahs given us the ability to love and form satisfying relationships; to laugh and play. We can appreciate beautiful music, see in vivid colours, smell and taste an almost infinite variety! These things arent necessary for life, but, they add to our enjoyment! And what would life be like without these wonderful things? What if there was no music? What if there was no emotion? What if every food, even though nutritious, had the same colour, texture, taste, and smell? son That would be boring. father We could still survive, but would we enjoy life in the same way? Jehovah has made life absolutely wonderful here on earth. No wonder we want to live forever. Remember what King Solomon said? He has put time indefinite into our hearts. (Ec 3:11) Thats the way Jehovah made us. Narrator The more we observe creation, the more we appreciate that life is a gift, meant to be enjoyed. father Jehovah has given us so many things that fill us with happiness. Remember last years vacation? Yeah. What did you like about it? Liked the hiking, the beach, the sunsets. I loved the food, and I liked watching the animals. Yeah, we really savour the simple things in creation. Jehovah made us with the ability to enjoy life. And we see his creativity in the incredible variety of life on earth. Narrator The variety we see in the animal kingdom is breathtaking! In the oceans alone, we find moving things without number, living creatures, small as well as great. (Ps 104:25) The waters are teeming with life! Jehovahs many and varied works are wonderful. In addition to variety, the instinctive behaviours that we see attest to Jehovahs wisdom. How do birds find their way as they migrate thousands of miles? How do they know that flying in a V-formation conserves energy? How does a beaver know how to build a dam and what materials to use? Who teaches a spider how to measure out the geometric patterns of its web? What makes the diversity and behaviours we see in nature all the more wondrous is their source. Jehovah carefully concealed within each living cell a special type of molecule called deoxyribonucleic acid, commonly known as DNA. Each DNA molecule is composed of a series of smaller molecules called nucleotides: cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine. These nucleotides are linked in long strands, twisted into a double helix. Just as individual letters can be arranged to make up different words, these four nucleotides, C, G, A, and T, are arranged in specific combinations to identify amino acids. In turn, these amino acids are the fundamental components of all living things. Incredibly, whether a majestic redwood, or an exotic orchid; a giant whale, or a newborn baby; the design for every living organism is recorded in the same formata personal DNA blueprint. Appropriately, the psalmist said:
How many your works are, O Jehovah! All of them in wisdom you have made. The earth is full of your productions. (Ps 104:24)But nowhere is Jehovahs wisdom and love more evident than in his creation of humans. From its very beginning, human life has potential far beyond that of any other creation on earth.
You kept me screened off in the belly of my mother. My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was woven in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing. (Ps 139:13-16)
Wonders of Creation DVD - Transcription - Page #4What makes us so unique? Of all of Jehovahs earthly creations, how are we different? Genesis 1:26 states that Jehovah went on to say: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. We have been designed to reflect the personality of Jehovah himself! Our ability to reason, our inborn spiritual need, our capacity for love, all separate us from Gods animal creation. Further, in designing us, Jehovah gave us the potential to go on living forever! Our cells, the tiny building blocks that make up our body, are designed to continually regenerate. Jehovah also provided us with a masterpiece of design, made to last us forever. Our brain contains some 100 billion neurons. Each neuron is a special nerve cell with connections to thousands of other neurons, some with as many as 250,000 others. Collectively, they store the information that makes us who we are. Amazingly, our creative capacity and potential for learning is limitless! Observing life draws us closer to Jehovah. He designed us to learn forever, to enjoy life around us forever, and this makes us look forward to living forever. Out of love, Jehovah promises a life that we can only dream of! Jehovah will cleanse the earth and restore the paradise. In this new world, we will appreciate animal creation like never before! We can only imagine how rich the real life will be! As we grow to perfection, we will go on learning about life, our beautiful home, and Jehovah! Love, peace, and happiness will fill our hearts. Although the Paradise is yet future, taking time to discover Jehovahs creation will add purpose and meaning to your life right now. In vain, many have searched for purpose and meaning through careers, money, and entertainment. Mans world is designed to draw us away from Jehovah. Whether it does so or not is up to us. If you want to draw closer to Jehovah, open your eyes to the world around...

Beautiful, funny and kind Alyssa is one of a group of pediatric nurses whose weddings I've been blessed to do- I feel like every nurse at her hospital has had me do their flowers by now! Steve and she married at Lord Hill Farms on a lovely spring day. Her bouquet is my favorite from almost 20 years of being a florist. In fact, as weird as it sounds, I am planning on having it tattooed on my forearm this summer! Alyssa thought that was an awesome idea and we are going to try to do a fresh replica for her as a tradition for their anniversary.
Check out the beautiful burgundy peonies and pieris. This vintage and lush floral design was amazing and one of my early 2019 weddings so I was super excited to start my season out with Alyssa's big day. Photos by The Seattle Wedding Photographer. Beauty by Elizabeth White Artistry. Planning by Wellness and Weddings.
Alyssa's aisle was one of my favorites to style as well, lots and lots of deep burgundy and red petals with beautiful candlelight.
We used gunnii, baby's breath and pops of cream roses around cylinders and candelabras for centerpieces. I added a garland drape to the couple's sweetheart table.
I used white pieris, burgundy and white peonies, earl grey roses, peach spray roses, purple hellebores, silver dollar eucalyptus, salal, and olive leaf.

The Abbey Theatre and cultural life
A chara, – Robert Ballagh laments the appointment of non-Irish people to lead cultural institutions including the Abbey Theatre and the National Gallery of Ireland, wondering if this reflects a policy of "No Irish need apply" (January 10th).
It is somewhat ironic that Mr Ballagh essentially falls into the same trap of ultranationalist jingoism, by seeming to suggest that only Irish people should be allowed apply for certain roles.
It is vital in a world marked by increasing division and isolationism in the West, that appointments are not made on the basis of creed, colour, sexuality, nationality or any other criteria, other than merit and suitability for the role.
A policy of "Ireland for the Irish" would be deeply disappointing and reflect very poorly on our citizens. – Is mise,
Dr FH BRIEN,
Dublin 3.
Sir, – Robert Ballagh's comments in relation to the nationality of various directors of cultural institutions in this country displays a cultural myopia that beggars belief and that only feeds a toxic appetite for nativism seen elsewhere in Europe and America. The logic of his argument clearly is "only Irish need apply" or "no outsiders". – Yours, etc,
Dublin 3.
Sir, – In response to the letter sent to the Minister for Culture on Monday, I, as a regular punter, would like to respond by saying that I have been to the Abbey more times in the last 18 months than I have in the previous 10 years combined. Why? The Abbey is now showing plays that I want to see.
Keep up the good work! – Yours, etc,
Co Dublin.
Sir, – Robert Ballagh (January 10th) should immediately contact the University of Oxford to object to its choice of vice-chancellor, Prof Louise Richardson from Waterford.
Shocking that such a "national cultural institution is being managed by an outsider"! – Yours, etc,
Co Cork.
Sir, – Robert Ballagh complains that too many of our major Irish cultural institutions are directed by people who were not born in Ireland!
What a pity that an important debate around our National Theatre should be reduced to a slanging match about race.
This ill-judged and ill-informed letter runs against so many of the values that theatre and the visual arts try to embody, not least diversity and inclusion. How embarrassing that a leading Irish artist, one who can offer such brilliant insight into those he paints, finding their humour, spirit and passion, should suddenly lose these faculties when contributing to a public debate which many of us are highly invested in and troubled by.
If the current challenges faced by the Abbey and the great Irish community of theatre makers are to be resolved, it will need considerably wiser and more temperate heads than this. – Yours, etc,
Co Wicklow.

Episode 8: Healing Justice
This episode is a conversation with Hanifa Nayo Washington and Thema Haida, two women healers who recently opened a holistic healing center in New Haven, Connecticut. The center is called One Village Healing and it's a bit different from other holistic health spaces you may have been to - it runs on the values of Healing Justice. That means collective healing from injustice and systems of oppression. Ladyparts takes a wide view on women's health, and we're not going to focus on reproductive health on this episode. Rather, we invite you to think about how this approach to caring for ourselves can improve the health of women, people of color, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups.

The first star-studded film-award ceremony of the new year was literally something to sing about.While not an honoree himself, actor-producer Brad Pitt stole the spotlight with a sing-along for a few moments Saturday night at the annual black-tie gala for the Palm Springs International Film Festival.Pitt traveled some 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Los Angeles to the desert town of Palm Springs, California, to introduce British actor David Oyelowo, an honoree at the gala whose profile is only now on the rise in the U.S.Pitt is a producer of director Ava DuVernay's historical epic "Selma," in which Oyelowo portrays civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Oyelowo actually did two photo sessions: one with wife, actress Jessica Oyelowo, and three of their four children. The actor returned to pose for photos with DuVernay.Both Oyelowo and DuVernay are nominated for Golden Globe awards, to be handed out next weekend in Beverly Hills.

Friends was no doubt an iconic television series, and all of its fans would surely tune into a revival series. Rumors swirled that the show would return in 2018 for a "one season only" event, in which "all six original cast members had signed on." Fuel was added to the fire when a David Schwimmer account posted on Facebook that the revival was, in fact, the real deal.
The post was shared over 250,000 times as of the time of writing this article, with many people worked into a frenzy over the possibility of their favorite show making a comeback. It also garnered over 200,000 responses.
However, a little bit of research revealed the entire thing to be a hoax. First of all, the account it was coming from was not David Schwimmer's real Facebook account, which was made apparent by the fact that the user spelled his surname as Schwimer. It was also evident that the name of his character, Ross Gellar, was spelled incorrectly. While some Facebook users got caught up in the moment, others were a bit savvier in their response.
"I wish people would be a little more observant and do a tiny bit of research before tagging every person they know on this.
"Both David Schwimmer and Ross Geller are spelled wrong, and you can easily google this and see that it's fake," one user wrote.
Another user chimed in.
"Ugh, can this BE anymore fake?! First off, David spells his last name with two M's. Also, this page was made the same day this post was shared. Finally, the cast members have said time and time again there won't be a reunion," another user replied.
BuzzFeed has reached out to NBC for an official comment on the whole affair, but they have yet to respond.
A Friends reunion show has been proposed several times, and all of the original cast members have stated that it would never return.
Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay on the series, discussed the possibility of a reunion last year.
"I feel like I'm just constantly bursting that little bubble of hope, each and every time it's asked.
"It's been 13 years, 13 years of the same question and right now, or in the future, it's not going to happen. And every time I say that, I get yelled at.
"What's it going to be about? Really, how is it going to work? This is what everybody is forgetting.
"They no longer hang out at the coffee house, they have all moved away. Chandler and Monica live upstate, Phoebe and Mike, probably the same.
"[W]hat reason would there be for them all to come together for a significant amount of time. The setting, and that time of life, worked brilliantly for then.
"It would be great [if it happened]. It would be a lot of fun. But even just from a logistical purpose, it would never work because everyone is on a totally, ridiculous work schedule, that's the opposite of someone else.
"It's even impossible for us to get together for dinner, it's really hard. It's six people, how easy it is for you to get six of your friends together?" she said to Heat Magazine.
Last year, there were similar rumors that Friends would be returning to the small screen, either as a reboot with a completely different cast or as a reunion special. But series co-creator, Marta Kauffman, but the rumors to bed fairly quickly.
"Why? I mean, for me, why go back to that territory?" she asked in Variety.
It appears we may never get to see what the Friends characters are up to now.

What can we do when negotiations grind to a point of impasse? The recent federal government shutdown serves as a new painful case study, where failure to create an agreement cost as many as 4.8 million workers - both federal employees and government contractors - acute financial pain. Though pay resumed for federal agencies on January after the 35-day furlough, the most recent version of the next deal to avoid a shutdown did not include providing back pay to contractors. As this tentative deal heads to the White House in advance of the Friday deadline, I asked three negotiation experts for their advice on what to do when facing a tough negotiation deadlock. How can lessons learned from this negotiation failure inform better decisions in business? These expert suggested approaches gleaned from their experience in local and state government, business and international diplomacy, and point to tested tactics that can dissolve standoff when a negotiating partner might refuse to bargain.
Kathy Webb is the City Director for Ward 3 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Webb is the first openly LGBTQ state legislator and first woman to serve as the vice chair of the joint budget committee in the Arkansas legislature. She is accustomed to working with folks that, as she says, she does not see eye-to-eye with. For Webb, the negative impact of the December and January federal shutdown was very concrete. "About 7,000 Arkansans are employed by the federal government, either directly or as contractors," Webb said. Shortly after the shutdown began, one of Webb's friends who works at an area airport reached out to local restaurants for help, and restaurants began offering meals to TSA employees who continued to work without pay. Webb knows this because being a municipal elected official is a part time job, and her full time employment is serving as the executive director of the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance.
As Webb and others realized that the shutdown would be prolonged, they began to mobilize assistance in coordination with the city of Little Rock and other hunger relief organizations. Over the course of the shutdown, this coalition was able to provide 30,000 pounds of food to furloughed federal workers and contractor workers.
If Webb had been a Congressional negotiator, her bargaining advice would be to find an unexpected and persuasive perspective. While she hopes that humanitarian appeals would persuade all elected officials, she recognizes that it may not sway every negotiator. "When we considered an extended shut down, we knew that it could affect 7,000 workers as well as 330,000 Arkansans on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. A protracted shutdown where SNAP benefits would stop would create incalculable damage to families," she said. But instead of using that evidence to convince others to end the shutdown, Webb suggests considering the effects of the shutdown on retail health. "If you looked at it from an economic perspective, what impact would this have on grocery stores and local economies? It would deeply harm businesses across the state." Webb also pointed out that the shutdown could negatively impact stocks as well as large corporations important to Arkansas, like Walmart and Tyson Foods. "That might not be my number one reason for agreeing to a deal, but what's your reason? How can we put these reasons together to find a solution?" Webb asks. Her key tactic in brokering an agreement is to be flexible on perspective, allowing that flexibility to inform how you might build a persuasive argument to break through an impasse.
Beth Fisher-Yoshida suggests highlighting a slightly different approach. She is the academic director of negotiation and conflict resolution at Columbia University, and she mentioned that sometimes the best way to manage a difficult negotiating partner is to point out an intolerable outcome of not negotiating. She also stressed that the negative outcome has to be short-term, because a sense of urgency can motivate against delay.
Fisher-Yoshida also suggests including a new issue or task in a negotiation can help move through a breakdown or stall. In fact, taking a break and working on a completely new or different issue from the one that might have caused the impasse in the first place can potentially rebuild trust between parties. "By jointly working on something together, negotiators can build new bonds and lay the foundation for a more collaborative way of engaging. Once this new behavior is the new norm, they might be more ready to re-engage on the sticky issue," she said. Switching issues or tasks could create that key break in tension that keeps parties from reaching an important solution.
Negotiation deadlock can also be solved by bringing in a new party to bridge the impasse. Erin Pelton has seen this method be successfully deployed in tough negotiations. She is a managing director at the public affairs firm Mercury and previously served as a U.S. diplomat. "In foreign affairs, when parties are stuck at an impasse, a neutral mediator can be deployed to engage in what is known as shuttle diplomacy, with the envoy shuttling between the parties in search of possible solutions. Yet this concept has a lot of utility beyond diplomacy and is an effective way to learn more about the opposing side's views, maneuvering space, and constraints," she said. Pelton mentioned that negotiations will often break down when the parties involved are not willing to speak freely in front of each other. Pelton notes that in these tenuous negotiations, private meetings led by a credible third party may be the only viable option to advance all parties towards a solution.
When thinking about the government shutdown, Pelton also pointed out a few characteristics that add strain to the negotiation. There is a lack of certainty that there will be support for compromise from all parties, which creates tremendous strain on those working towards even a short-term agreement. Successful negotiators will often work hard to eliminate uncertainty, which is hard to do when the bottom line in the negotiation is unknown. "It's clear there is a lack of trust between the parties – in no small part because of President Trump's unpredictability – which provides an opening for someone with credibility to seek to bring the parties together to forge a solution, even if in an unofficial capacity," Pelton said. As the deadline nears, hopefully official and unofficial negotiators will help ensure that a second agreement is successful and keep the federal government working.

Drive-Through Barcode Scanning System
This sleek design can be integrated with your forklift or conveyors to rapidly and automatically scan bar codes and improve traceability of returnable containers.
How It Works
A camera or multi-camera array and simple-to-use software system scan barcode labels passing through your dock door. The technology is a more efficient, less expensive alternative to RFID (Radio-frequency identification). A simple Red Light/Green Light interface indicates the scan is complete. All scans are timestamped and instantaneously recorded in the system.
With our optional visionWrangler software, you'll also get professional reports, alerts, and the ability to access your data anywhere, in real-time.
A Challenge Resolved
Manual barcode scanning introduces human error and profit loss due to unrecovered aftermarket packaging. Our system was designed for a customer who delivers thousands of pallets worldwide and has proved indispensable for recovering and billing for returnable crates all while saving personnel time.
…And Peace of Mind
We provide training and support for every system we deliver.
|Configurable down to 10 mil narrow bar width
