The Problem:
On The Dot Woman is the brainchild of Austin Women Magazine founder Melinda Garvey. The daily audio clips deliver the latest news, stories and commentary about women in business via four minute bite-sized episodes.
On The Dot was looking to increase their listenership using innovative methods to deliver content to their audience, with a focus on listener convenience.
The Artificial Intelligence Solution:
Before working with Digital Nebula, On The Dot audio episodes were only available via a web browser. Listeners would have to rely on memory to visit the site directly, or to signup for email notifications notifying them when new episodes were released and then follow through the links to listen.
Digital Nebula's extensive knowledge of the business trends and opportunities in artificial intelligence shaped the recommendation for On the Dot to develop an Amazon Alexa Skill to play the audio clips via intelligent voice command.
Alexa is an intelligent personal assistant developed by Amazon made popular by the Amazon Echo device. The assistance uses voice interaction to execute various tasks (called 'Skills') such as music playback, creation of task lists and reminders, setting alarms, streaming podcasts or audiobooks, and providing real time information updates such as weather, traffic, and news. Alexa also has abilities to control other smart devices, allowing Alexa to be used as a home automation system. Most devices using Alexa allow users to activate the assistant using a word (for example, "Alexa"), though other devices (such as the Amazon app on iOS or Android) require the user to push a button to activate Alexa's listening mode.
Adding the Alexa skill for On the Dot allowed Alexa users to hear the On the Dot audio via simple voice commands (such as, "Alexa, ask On The Dot Woman to play episode") without requiring the listener to track down the link to the latest episode via phone or computer.
Digital Nebula's development team helped define the requirements for the most effective and applicable solution for On The Dot. The Skill would allow a person to command an Echo Dot to start and stop the audio clip at any time an Alexa device was near.
With an Amazon Echo install base of around 11 million devices and an application ecosystem of only 7,000 skills currently, there is now a ripe opportunity to get in front of consumers utilizing the forefront in artificial intelligence. Amazon has a strong initiative in place to help enable developers to utilize their platform by providing proper tooling for testing, development, and hosting, which minimizes the effort and cost to publish a new skill. As a result, development, production and Alexa Skill approval from Amazon took less than one week to complete.
Digital Nebula recently delivered the solution to On The Dot and we look forward to receiving updates on how it is received by listeners. We'll be sure to add an update in coming weeks on the resulting increase in listenership as a result of utilizing this technology!
If you are interested in developing your own Alexa skill for your business (within a week!) click here to connect with our bot and outline your needs.
Promotion Alert! Amazon is offering a free Amazon Echo to any developers who publish skills in the month of June. Let us build your skill and we'll send you Echo for free. (Full details.)

Daily Watch – Naira shivers at new FX policy, Nigerian Breweries needs a drink
- The naira hit a fresh low of ₦520/$ on the black market on Monday, as retail currency traders tried to digest a new CBN decision to sell dollars to retail users through commercial lenders, one retail trader told Reuters. The regulator plans to sell $1 million weekly to each of the country's 21 commercial lenders at a rate of ₦375 to clear a backlog of demand for retail users and try to narrow the premium between the official and black market rates, traders said on Monday. On Friday, the naira was quoted at ₦516/$ on the black market. On the official market, the naira was quoted at ₦305.50/$. Retail currency users buy dollars from licensed bureaux de change (BDC). However, due to the central bank's inability to meet dollar demand, BDCs have tended to source dollars from private sources and resell at a much higher margin, fuelling the black market.
- The Senate on Monday said $850 billion supposedly earned between 1996 and 2014 from crude oil export was yet to be repatriated to the country by the Joint Venture oil companies. The development, it noted, was in total contravention of Nigeria's Pre-shipment Inspection of Export Act and Article 26 of Export Policy Guidelines and procedures for crude oil, gas and non-oil goods. Also, the upper legislative chamber heard testimony from a senior official at the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment that Nigeria has been exporting oil and non-oil products without documentation since June 2015. As a result, the country has lost over ₦23.6 billion being expected proceeds of the export within the period. These revelations were made during an investigative public hearing organized by the Senate Joint Committees on Finance, Trade and Investment; Gas, Petroleum Upstream; Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions; Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, as well as Customs, Excise and Tariff, on the "Need to Investigate Pre-Shipment Inspection of Export Activities in Nigeria." The public hearing was held courtesy of a motion by Senator Abubakar Yusuf (APC, Taraba Central), in July 2016, where he alleged that there has been a gross violation of the Inspection of Export act by some institutions of government.
- Nigerian Breweries on Monday announced its audited results for the year ended December 31, 2016, showing a 25 percent decline in profit after tax, reflecting the challenging operating environment. Although the leading brewer posted revenue growth of 6.7 percent, a combination of rising inflation and impact of the naira's devaluation drove down its bottom-line. Specifically, the company recorded a revenue of ₦313.743 billion in 2016, up from ₦293.9 billion in 2015. The cost of sale rose from ₦149.73 billion to ₦178.218 billion. Marketing and distribution expenses also rose from ₦58.45 billion to ₦61.312 billion. While the company brought down administrative expenses, finance cost increased by 66 percent from ₦8.217 billion to ₦13.645 billion. However, this increase was primarily driven by net foreign exchange loss of about ₦7.552 billion, compared to ₦752 million in 2015. Following the huge forex loss, Nigerian Breweries Plc ended the year with profit before tax of ₦39.675 billion, down from ₦54.514 billion in 2015 and profit after tax of ₦28.416 billion as against ₦38.05 billion in 2015.
- The Enugu State Board of Internal Revenue on Monday sealed 36 branches of eight commercial banks allegedly indebted to the state government to the tune one billion naira. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the exercise, which started by 6 am, was carried out at 23 locations of the affected banks across the Coal City. Addressing newsmen after the exercise, the Enugu BIR Chairman, Emeka Odo, said that the board sealed the banks due to their failure to remit about monies owed the state government. Odo said that the board had on Feb. 6, obtained an ex parte order from the state high court to distrain the affected banks. He said that the debts were part of the withholding taxes they were supposed to remit to the state government which dated back to 2007. The affected financial institutions are Access Bank, Stanbic IBTC Bank, Skye Bank, Union Bank and Unity Bank. The other banks are; Heritage Bank, Keystone Bank and Sterling Bank. Odo said that the eight banks had combined branch network of 36 branches in urban Enugu as well as the neighbouring towns of Agbani and Ituku Ozalla.
- About €300 million (₦97.5 billion) has been set aside by a German investment group, CUBE Commodities Company, to finance small-scale industrialists in Nigeria. The group's CEO, Dean Nguyen, made the announcement in Abuja during a meeting with members of the National Association of Small-Scale Industrialists. He said the partnership with NASSI was born out of the conviction that industrialisation was key to economic development and poverty reduction. The partnership, according to him, will enable the group to provide the fund at a low-interest rate for industrial development, technology transfer and market development for NASSI members' products in Europe and Asia.

Emerald Ash BorerThe Emerald Ash Borer has officially invaded the lawildcat compound in southern Campbell County. We have 21 trees in our yard and 15 of those are ash trees. Cutting these trees down is going to completely change the whole landscape of our property. Not to mention the rest of the ash trees surrounding our property that belong to Mr. lawildcat's parents; around 100 acres.
It just makes me sick to think about.Advertisement

Jun 2, 14, 10:43 AM #3Any chance you could see about having someone come in and cut down some for timber and use the money from the timber to try to treat and save a few of the most desirable ones? (I have no idea what the going price is for a decent ash tree harvested for lumber....but it's a thought on something to look into.)
Jun 2, 14, 10:45 AM #4
His response was plant resistant trees now. AJ Jolly cut 30 trees last year and 60 more are marked for this year. You can look over the landscape and see the dead ash in large swaths all around. Very sad.
Hardwoods are currently resistant, but it's doubtful that any of us would outlive the maturation period of these trees
If you want to plant you can get some good deals currently at nurseries for end of season planting but it needs to be done soon.
If you want to place blame on how this invasive species got here the current thought is that shipping crates from China came into Detroit infested and US Customs didn't catch it in time. Not Detroit's fault (like they needed one more black eye) but that appears to be the origin.
Jun 2, 14, 11:00 AM #5Some "faster" growing deciduous shade trees that might be of interest to you:
Freeman/Autumn Blaze Maple
Tulip Tree/Tulip Poplar (Also the Kentucky State Tree)
Hybrid Poplar
Japanese/Green Vase Zelkova

It's made me sick as well. I have 45 acres in Boone County and you can see them dying more and more each year. I basically just use them for firewood. Hopefully the small trees will grow after the beetle is gone. I assume they move on but not for sure. I also had most of the Elm trees die over the last few years. Years ago the locust trees died off in numbers from something but they have rebounded quickly. Mother Nature will take care of the woods, imo.

We will use them for firewood as well. I guess if I look at the bright side of this, all the trees in our yard will be close to move to our wood pile without too much effort and there is now an endless supply of trees for our outdoor wood stove in the winters.

It's funny to think of this now but during late winter/early spring, we were throwing bird seed out in the yard and there was an unusual amount of woodpeckers coming around to eat. Now we know....

Jun 2, 14, 01:10 PM #10We have the same issue. I was wondering how much it cost to treat the trees. I wonder why it is so expensive?
Jun 2, 14, 06:13 PM #11I heard that Ash trees are not considered that great of a wood so the dept. of agriculture is not really concerned with a solution. Not worth the time or effort to resolve the situation.
I'm starting to lose a lot of mine as well.

EAP Case Studies
Management Referral
X was not performing at work to their usual standard and their Line Manager heard that X was experiencing personal problems. X did not want to discuss the matter in detail with their Manager. After a brief discussion it was agreed that the Manager would arrange for an EAP counsellor to contact X to confidentially discuss the matter.
Y was struggling at home and at work following the death of a close relative. She was feeling depressed and inadequate. Counselling helped Y to come to terms with her feelings so that she could cope more effectively.
Team Relationships
X was finding it difficult to fit into the team. His self-confidence was low and communicating with his boss was a challenge. Support from an EAP counsellor enabled X to enhance his skills and be more proactive in talking about, and tackling, the concerns he had.
A combination of increased pressure at work and numerous demands at home had left V feeling drained and unable to cope. Work with the EAP counsellor on identifying and meeting his own needs and managing his lifestyle more effectively enabled V to feel more in control and to make some changes so that there was more balance in his life.
Re-organisations at work had left W feeling insecure. She was fearful of the future and felt that she might not be able to meet the new expectations. Through counselling W came to terms with the changes taking place, built her confidence, and started to tackle the new challenges positively.
Marital Difficulties
Z and his wife were finding it increasingly difficult to live together and were having frequent rows. Z was not concentrating at work and was worried about the effect of the rows on their children. Z had a couple of face to face counselling sessions and then persuaded his wife to come along to further sessions. The counselling enabled them to really listen to each other, to practice some new behaviours and to agree on an action plan.
X s father died a month before X contacted the EAP provider. X was lined up with a bereavement counsellor close to his workplace and was given details on the same day he called. X presented as having difficulty functioning/concentrating in workplace. Used his 6 counselling sessions to gain an understanding of grief process and returned to work more focused.
Management Consultation / Referral
The manager made contact to clarify the main issues concerning an employee involved in a complaint procedure. An initial plan of action was agreed, with a review in seven day s time. During the second telephone contact it was established that the plan was progressing well. The manager expressed the opinion that the balance of specific input and listening had been extremely helpful in distilling the issues and enabling them to start to move forward in the investigation. The consultation also clarified that counselling would be made available to the employee if needed. The manager noted that tension was reducing and the threat of litigation was declining. The employee later accessed the EAP services.
X had a 3 year old child. She had separated from child s father (not married). He had been having limited contact but has started to demand more. She was not happy to allow more contact because she feared it would disrupt the child s routine. X was advised that generally unmarried fathers have no legal right except as agreed by mother, however he has a right to go to court to seek a contact order and/or parental responsibility. Advised her to see a solicitor if he does.
X was in rented accommodation for 12 months from June 2002. There was a condensation problem and the toilet leaked into the bedroom. She is asthmatic and had very severe attacks and had to be hospitalised. Environmental Health Officer (EHO) inspected property and produced a report. EHO and Shelter advised that if the situation was making her so ill she could leave. She gave Landlord notice and he had promised to get workmen out to fit an air brick but it was never done. He also promised to advertise the property but he did not so she left. He has threatened legal action for breach of contract. Advised to respond and say that if he does she will counterclaim for personal injury and her deposit back. Advised to see a personal injury solicitor for an indication of how much she can claim - she has hospital and employment records to use as evidence.
X received a needle-stick injury 5 weeks before contacting the EAP provider. She has been taking anti-HIV drugs that are making her tired. She is also having mood swings and partner has threatened to leave her. Counselling sessions helped her to tackle her anxiety regarding needle-stick injury by putting her concerns into perspective and teaching her relaxation techniques.
Management Consultation / Referral
A manager wanted to discuss the best way to support an employee who would be returning to work following a traumatic event. The employee was concerned that colleagues would be asking a lot of questions. Through a telephone consultation it was suggested that the manager should get the employee to contact them and to agree a statement, which could be placed, on e-mail to colleagues before employee returns to work. The employee was very appreciative of this.

Don't leave this up to Uncle Bob or a friend who is a keen amateur, for one, it may damage your relationship with that person if they really muck things up and secondly, your engagement and wedding are special unique moments in your life so why would you leave this in the hands of someone who couldn't guarantee a great outcome?

This has been quite a hot topic for the last few years, as there has been an explosion of information via the internet. With information being rampant these days, there is a high chance that what you have just typed is something you seen or heard before. So if this is the case, you may need to check if your work consist of any plagiarism.
For those who do not know about what plagiarism, Plagiarism.org gives quite a comprehensive and all rounded answer towards what is plagiarism. Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL) defines plagiarism as "uncredited use (both intentional and unintentional) of somebody else's words or ideas", which I feel is quite an appropriate and easily understood definition of plagiarism.
The APA manual states plagiarism as "the practice of claiming credit for the words, ideas, and concepts of others" (APA, 2009, p. 170).
Plagiarism is a big issue in the academic world, with more and more found of plagiarism every year. This is not only in psychology and even in other fields such as politics, journalism, arts, music, etc. iThenticate's Plagiarism blog has a post on the top 5 plagiarism scandals of 2012, which involved journalism, law, and politics. Losing your job is one thing, and having a black mark on your career is another.
So it is never worth it to just "copy and paste", and if you really have to, make sure you do your citations properly. Purdue University's OWL has some tips and best practices for students to prevent plagiarism. If you are still unsure on whether your work has some plagiarism in it, I would advice you to run it through some plagiarism checkers before submitting your work. You should be able to find some free plagiarism checkers online. A lot of schools and institutions use Turnitin, which is one major plagiarism checker used to check students' work.
If you are wondering why I even started on this topic, it was because I found that a certain website plagiarised information from one of my posts without my consent. Hence I wrote to the author and asked him/her to remove it promptly. It was settled very quickly with no further issues.
If someone were to ask you to explain "plagiarism" in a layman's term, this is how I would explain it:
Your works and ideas belong to you. If you were to borrow someone else's things, the least you can do is to be honest and say it don't belong to you and "Thank you" to the original author. The same should apply when someone borrows something from you. If someone takes something of yours and say that it is his/hers, how would you feel? So, let us not do it to others as well.
You may use the above phrase, but please do not plagiarise and cite or quote it.. Thanks!

Product DetailsThis 1942 satirical comedy stars Ginger Rogers as the title character, who agrees to be accused of murder so the publicity will advance her dancing career. Whether she actually committed the crime is irrelevant to the reporters, who fall all over themselves to give Roxie her 15 minutes of fame (well, this compact movie is actually 75 minutes long). Adolphe Menjou costars as the blustery defense lawyer who sees no possibility of losing, and George Chandler plays the meek husband left in Roxie's dust. Among the highlights are the judge, lawyers, and client primping for every photo opportunity, and Rogers's nostalgic tap dance on a metal prison staircase. Roxie Hart was based on the play Chicago, which later became the basis for the Bob Fosse musical with Gwen Verdon (and then Ann Reinking in the 1997 revival) in the Rogers role.

I have recently planted 2 young pear trees and they seem to be doing well, but I have noticed the presence of much leaf rolling and black tipped leaves (as well as the cluster mites). I followed advice and took off all the badly affected leaves. As long as its not fire blight, do they have a good chance of surviving?
Rossion, Dublin/ Glasnevin, Co Dublin Posted: 05/05/2017
This likely to be just some wind damage which turns pear foliage black. They will adapt to the conditions.

Originally from Oxford, Cara attended Plymouth University where she received her Master's in History before moving to Brighton to work in operations for a foreign language program.
Cara first travelled to South Africa in 2011 and instantly decided that any future holidays would be spent here. Hooked from the first day, she has returned each time to explore different areas and try new experiences, such as paragliding off Lion's Head in Cape Town, or learning to cook a great Cape Malay curry in a Bo'Kaap kitchen, also in Cape Town. Cara is always torn on where to head next - from the historic Drakensburg Mountains and the luxury of the Winelands, or the buzz of Cape Town and thrill of game viewing in Kruger National Park.
Having started with Audley, Cara is looking forward to helping other people to explore her favourite country and hearing about all of their discoveries.

I recommend visiting - Franschhoek
As a wine fan, and having visited a number of vineyards in Europe, I couldn't wait to see what South Africa had to offer.
I truly believe that the scenery adds to the enjoyment of the wine, and the scenery here is stunning. In each area, from Constantia to Stellenbosch, there is a range of vineries with their own unique style, produce and facilities - some offering accommodation and luxurious spa treatments.
One of my favourite activities would have to be the wine tram in Franschhoek, which has four different routes that allow you to visit a number of vineyards without having to drive.
There are still plenty of activities that don't involve wine, such as cheese tasting near Paarl, the gardens of Babylonstoren and the car museum for the motor minded.
I recommend staying at - Savanna Private Game Reserve
During a recent trip I stayed at Savanna Private Game Reserve in Kruger, which is so far my absolute favourite place to stay in South Africa. Located in the Sabi Sabi Reserve, just a short drive from Shaws Gate, this is a gem of a lodge.
From the start the staff were so friendly and welcoming, it felt like coming home. The rooms have a camp like feel with tented roofs, but didn't miss out on any luxury touches - from the inclusive mini-bar to the safari drive kit. The safari drives were exhilarating; our ranger & tracker made an excellent team who did everything they could to find us the animals we wanted to see.
On return from our afternoon drive, I found a hot bubble bath and lit candles waiting to help me relax before dinner. After meeting at the bar for an aperitif, we sat out on the lawn with about a hundred glowing lanterns contributing to the magical feel of the evening. The food was exquisite, and kept us going until breakfast the next morning - another delightful meal after our eventful morning drive.
I was understandably upset when they wouldn't allow me to move in permanently.
I'll never forget when…
I spent the day on the Franschhoek Wine Tram enjoying some of the best wines that the area has to offer. Each stop was different - the architecture, the ambience and, of course, the wine. Some of the vineyards offered a paired tasting such as biltong and wine, chocolate and wine or cheese and wine. Luckily you could also enjoy lunch at a number of places which helped keep you going through the day.
Later that evening, dinner was booked for The Tasting Rooms at Le Quartier Francais. The incredible eight course tasting menu was an African inspired fantasy, with some dishes making one ingredient the focal point or presenting them in an entirely new fashion. The wine suggestions helped the evening fly by, and I can only hope I will one day have the chance to return.

Hearing aid users looking for the convenience of an extended-wear device may want to consider Lyric. This in-the-canal hearing aid is placed very close to the eardrum, and is designed to be worn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for up to four months without removal. It can be worn while participating in a number of activities that require traditional hearing aids to be removed, such as showering, exercising, sleeping and talking on the phone.
Comfort and ease of use are major benefits of the Lyric device. It utilizes soft foam seals that fit in the contours of your ear canals to prevent slippage. 94% of users report Lyric is more comfortable than their previous hearing aids, and with no batteries to replace or cleaning required, these instruments are virtually trouble-free.
Lyric utilizes the natural anatomy of the outer ear to channel sound to the device. There, it is amplified and sent to the eardrum. The result is better directionality and improved localization, two factors that are important in producing a more natural sound. In fact, 86% of Lyric users describe sound quality as "very natural." Occlusion and feedback are also reduced thanks to the instrument's deep location within the ear canal. The device is protected from moisture and earwax by a special coating.
Lyric hearing aids are available on a subscription basis.

|Shiny. Well, rusty, but you know what I mean.
You may have noticed that there's quite a Martian theme to the Mumblings of late. Well, seeing as I'm so busy I haven't had a sniff of a brush in near a month, the All Quiet on the Martian Front kickstarter kickstarter is standing in for actual hobbying.
There's 10 days left in the kickstarter and the UK and EU shipping has finally been nicely sorted:
We are very pleased to announce that Renedra, the renowned manufacturer and retailer of plastic miniatures and accessories, has agreed to act as our European Union distributor for the All Quiet on the Martian Front Kickstarter only. We could not be happier with this outcome since Architects of War, our sister company, is the Exclusive North American distributor for Renedra.
What does this mean for you if you live in the UK or EU? There will be no increase in the flat rate shipping charge! You will receive the shipment of your pledge, freebies and any add-on goodies by paying the previously stated flat rate shipping, no additional charges.
So, we have 3 different categories that you can fall into…
**US – Free shipping
**UK and EU – Flat rate shipping stated in the pledge levels or shipping policy for Add-ons. No Vat or other import duties will be charged to you.
**Everybody Else – Flat rate shipping stated in the pledge levels or shipping policy for Add-ons. You will be responsible for any duty or taxes charged at the time of delivery, if applicable.
So anyone from the EU or the UK on the fence, now is your chance to dive in.

It is a 1911 Indian that lost it's original motor somewhere along the line. A Whizzer "J" series motor and system was installed in 1940's? Has original Brooks seat and original 6 volt lightning system and a Klaxton manual push horn. Great running bike which actually performs better then the original Indian single did.

Hi Mr museum, nice
website for a scooters adddict !!
do you know something about this badge ?? i didn't find anything ?? who knows ??
here is pictures of my vintage french 's scooters collection
regards jean-do
The pictures are of my 1971 El Burro Sand-n-Snow Super 8 mini bike. These bikes were made in Lexington, MI and came in two different sizes, the Super 8 (8hp engine) and the Torque 5 (5hp engine with a torque converter). They were only made for a few years (late 60's - early 70's) and yet they still seem to pop up from time to time in Michigan for sale. I got this and it was pretty much a basket case. After about a week of some serious cleaning and painting I finished it. It has an 8hp Briggs and Stratton and will go almost anywhere you point it. I even pull my two kids, ages 9 and 11, behind it in the winter on their sleds.
Steve Jacobs, Grand Rapids, MI.
wanted a Cushman Eagle so bad, I had to make one for
myself...because I couldn`t afford one.
built it with a Kids push scooter frame, with 1" square
tubing added to it. The engine is an 8hp Briggs and
Stratton with the optional lighting coil/flywheel. A
Centrifugal clutch mates it to a 3 speed (plus reverse)
garden tractor transmission ( you have to return to idle to
shift it). Wheelbarrow rims, 4.0X8" trailer tires, minibike front
brake, Chevy V-6 water pump pulley for the rear band brake.
Boat trailer fenders, and an old Yamaha dirt bike gas tank.
Titled and licensed!
A picture of the Honda ATC-90 I converted to "street".
I took my first (limited to 3 wheels only) endorsement
test on it. I had to quit riding it because EVERY cop
saw stopped me, but it was ALL legal,
so no problems...!!

Arti in Vienna
A Puja is a fire ceremony from the Veden praising the Sanatan Dharma, the origin of all religions.
I am a Pujari (a Pujarini to be exact, however, the female term is not yet well established). I have become a Pujarini in Shakti Dhumi in Haidakhan in India.
I am living with a Murti – the "Haidakhan Deshvari Ma" – a stone figure representing the divine mother. During the daily Puja a Pujari makes himself aware that everything that exists is "God" and works in accordance with the law "energy follows concentration". A Pujari cares for his Murti like a living being and through this maintains concentration on vitality. The Murti functions as a mirror to ourselves, a temple, as the Mother and as the Divine in us.
We celebrate the Puja using fire and water (both elements repeatedly reoccur in all religions) and singing the Arti. Arti is a ceremony outside of all religious denominations.
We are singing every second Wednesday of the month at 19:00.
If you are interested, you are welcome to use the room for meditation from 18:30 onwards. The Arti begins at 19:00.

A day after saving a match point, Sloane Stephens quickly completed her match at Wimbledon and advanced to third round. She beat Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 3-6, 7-6 (6), 8-6.
The 18th-seeded American saved a match point in the second-set tiebreaker on Friday, but the match was then suspended by rain with the score tied at 3-3 in the third set.
Also, 11th-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland beat Monica Niculescu of Romania 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in another second-round match that was suspended by rain. Bacsinszky had been trailing 1-0 in the third set, but won all six games played on Saturday.

Why can't we mention the G-word?
August 21, 2009 by Norman Lebrecht
Several colleagues in British media have expressed surprise at Manuela Hoelterhoff's direct questions about God in the Holocaust and my equally direct answers in our conversation on Bloomberg Muse.
We were talking about my new novel, The Game of Opposites, and Manuela wanted to know if I agreed with an opinion voiced by one of the characters. So we set about the issue in a few concise lines.
'Couldn't happen here,' said a senior newspaper editor. 'God only gets dealt with in the God slots' – the statutory Saturday space for clergymen – 'or from a Richard Dawkins perspective.'
'So true,' said a BBC boss. 'God is off the agenda here, except for atheists and politicians.'
But why is that? Why can media discuss every human organ and intimacy in clinical detail, but not the issues of faith and doubt that trouble intelligent and sensitive readers? Why does the BBC appoint self-proclaimed agnostics to be head of religion? Why is serious talk about the sorrow and the pity blanked out on British media?
Next Article Previous Article

Not discussing God in the media is an unspoken rule that protects a religion from too much scrutiny by people outside that religion.
"Serious talk" about God doesn't happen in the media because facts are serious but faith is silly. It's funny when people argue over details of their unprovable religious fantasies. Not so funny when they kill each other over them.
Mr. Rae stated: "Not discussing God in the media is an unspoken rule that protects a religion from too much scrutiny by people outside that religion." – Only if that religion happens to be anything other than Christianity! The media treat Christianity with a level of hostility they would never allow for Islam. The European and British media in particular treat Islam with kid gloves, not allowing critics of Islam anywhere near as large a forum as they give to anti-Christian polemicists like Dawkins, et al. (Indeed, in many cases they provide no such forum at all, with critics of Islam being accused of "racism" and "hate" throughout Europe through the imposition of politically correct speech codes by multiculturalist ideologues).
Furthermore to claim that "serious talk" about God and religion doesn't occur because faith is inherently "silly," is itself a profoundly silly and intellectually impoverished argument. There is a lack of "serious talk" in the mainstream media about God and religion because of the largely left-wing and secularist biases of the people who are in control of the major media organs, particularly in Europe, where the major cultural and political institutions seem to go out of their way to denigrate and turn their backs on the religious and cultural heritage that built and sustains Western Culture.
There is also simply the fact that members of the media are often not especially brilliant or well-educated (particularly the most visible figures on TV and radio, where looks and personality count for more than intelligence and depth) and are unable to engage in truly "serious talk" of any depth about a great many subjects, including religion and God.
Maybe when senior officials in various religions can talk like "intelligent and sensitive" people. There are too many British bishops, archbishops, imams and others running around releasing press releases about "London gays cause floods in Carlisle" to be taken at all seriously.
As for God being off the agenda, then that is patently wrong when all the major newspapers have godbothering columnists making1 medieval pronouncements from their print pulpits.
Finally, when did discussion of "sorrow and pity" become the exclusive domain of the religious. They may deserve pity for all the sorrow they've caused in the name of religion, but really ….

Picture this: Waking up in a stylishly modern hotel room, and from your balcony, you can spot the white,sandy beach and its beautiful turquoise water. Before going in for a dip, You are served by one of the most friendly and hospitable staff you have ever met, and with their irresistible Swahili accent welcome you to a themed buffet-style breakfast. This description fits our experience perfectly on a two-night stay at the Turtle Bay Beach Club.
On arrival at the hotel, the winding concrete pathway with lush and well-manicured green grass on either side leads to the big Coastal reveal. A thatched-roof entrance promises a unique and traditional experience awaiting to be explored. Besides, we figured it would be a memorable experience keeping company with Kenya's Tourism Cabinet Secretary Hon. Najib Balala and media personalities, the likes of Maina Kageni and Daniel Ndambuki, popularly know as 'Churchill', although none were in residence at the time.
The interior is a distinct contrast as its Arabic-styled design is impeccably illustrated with the wooden furniture and classic doors. The reception was a magnificent piece, with a traditional dhow sail cast overhead with subdued and sophisticated lighting surrounding it.
As we awaited the finalization of our check-in registration, we were served with an equally cold and refreshing fresh fruit juice that seemed to ease our traveling souls.
What's the first thing to do when you arrive at an exquisite beach resort you ask? Well, go, no, run to the beach, of course! The warm sand beneath our feet and the gentle breeze running through our hair felt right.
We also had the pleasure of meeting Jackson, the hotel's beach guard. His Maasai regalia though appealing to the hotel guests, is a warning sign for the local residents. The Maasai tribe is considered to have one of the bravest men who have even participated in a lion-fighting initiation event at some point in their lives. You wouldn't want to mess with that fact, now would you?..However, he is very friendly and courteous.
What to do while at Turtle Bay Beach Club
- Enjoy a water aerobics class at the hotel's activity pool. The Maasai Jump particularly, is not for the faint-hearted.
- Take a diving class at the Watersports Center located within the hotel. A calm and patient Erwin will teach you the basics and in no time will be enjoying the beautiful coral and marine life at the Watamu Marine Beach.
- Unleash your inner tennis star by engaging in a thrilling and entertaining match at the hotel's tennis grounds.
- Stand-up paddle boarding and wind surfing- With instructors from the Watersports Center, feel one with nature in early mornings as you cruise through the fairly still waters. You might also be lucky to swim with the dolphins which may come out at this time.
- You can also while away the afternoon and curl up at your beach bed with your favorite read while listening to the sounds of the cascading waves at a distance as they approach the shore.
- Take an early morning jog at the beach or enjoy a long, romantic stroll in the evening to the Wishing Stone, located a few meters from the hotel. Make your wishes come true.
Scenario: You are having the best time of your life as a couple and you wish that moment would last forever. Coincidentally, Bruno Mars' song 'Marry You', plays on your phone or iPod. The place and the mood is just right and you embrace and live in the moment.

Fire Department paramedics were called to the residence in the 6300 block of South Rhodes Avenue about 12:34 a.m. when the man failed to answer a call after his medical-alarm bracelet went off, police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines.
When he failed to answer the door, they made a forced entry into the home through a window, Gaines said. The man then fired several rounds into a wall, Gaines said. The paramedics reportedly took out a window air conditioner unit to gain entry.

Barack Obama's push to revamp the nation's health care system is getting the cold shoulder from Southerners, according to a new poll by Winthrop University.
But the president, who picked up a trio of Southern states in winning the 2008 presidential election, remains well-liked in this region, with solid majorities saying he is warm and friendly, trustworthy and concerned about people like those polled in South Carolina and 10 other Southern states.
Obama's signature domestic policy effort - reforming the nation's health care system - is running into a head wind from Southerners who said they are satisfied with the cost and quality of their health insurance and unhappy with the way the president is handling the issue.
"I'm not saying that we don't need an overall reform, but I think it's kind of extreme what they're trying to shove down our throats," said J. Chester Gambrell, a salesman who lives in Florence and participated in the poll. "I don't want a socialistic view of health care like Canada's got, like England's got."
The Winthrop poll, conducted in late October and early November, showed the president faces a challenge in persuading Southerners that broad health care reform is a necessity.
More than 77 percent of those polled said they are satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of the health care they receive. Just under 53 percent said they are satisfied or very satisfied with the cost of health care.
Health care comes in a distant second to the economy when Southerners were asked to name the most important problem facing the country today.
Just over 39 percent of Southerners said the economy was the top concern. About 13 percent said health care was the top problem.
But even though Southerners said that health care is not their top concern and that they are satisfied with the cost and quality of the coverage they have, the poll seemed to offer the president some opportunities.
A slim majority of Southerners - 51 percent - said they disapprove of the way Obama is handling health care policy.
"I'm pleased with only 51, 52 percent," said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a Columbia Democrat.
Clyburn said Southerners have a long-standing cultural aversion to government intervention.
"There's a tremendous distrust the South has of government," he said. "Always has been. It dates back to the war between the states."
In time, he said Southerners and other Americans will see that health care reform will be as good for them as the implementation of Social Security.
The Winthrop poll showed the president's overall job approval rating among Southerners stood at 47.4 percent, with 42.2 percent saying they disapprove of his performance.
More than 84 percent said Obama is a good communicator, and 76 percent said he is warm and friendly. A majority - 54.4 percent - said he is trustworthy.
And 61.5 percent - including 51.3 percent of white male Southerners - said Obama "cares about people like me."
Adolphus Belk, an assistant professor of political science at Winthrop, said those results stand in contrast with early criticisms of Obama for being what some described as cold and aloof.
"It might mean that you're in a position to make an argument," Belk said.
Republican officials said Obama's argument on health care has been heard by Southerners - and rejected.
Karen Floyd, chairwoman of the S.C. Republican Party, said she is not surprised Southerners seem to like Obama as a person and as a communicator.
"Everyone acknowledges that he's a gifted communicator," Floyd said. "Republican voters are sophisticated. They can determine that they appreciate the method of communication but not the message."
Floyd's Democratic Party counterpart, Carol Fowler, said Southern views on health care have more to do with who is discussing it in this region than with the details of what has been proposed in Washington.
"You have to remember who people are listening to," Fowler said. "Barack Obama is not here talking to us now. But Republican members of Congress are certainly here, and they have opposed what he's trying to do from the start."
Clyburn, whose job as majority whip in the House made him responsible for marshaling the votes to pass a version of health care reform over the weekend, said his party made a strategic error in focusing so much on improving options for those with no health insurance.
His party should have done more to point out the benefits reform would bring to the majority of Americans who have health care.
"The best thing we can do during this recession is to fix (health care)," he said.
Gambrell, who underwent a successful heart surgery three years ago and made arrangements with the hospital to pay off his portion of the bill in installments, said he thinks there is room for reform.
For example, he said he could support changes that would allow workers like lawn-care employees to join groups to purchase health insurance at competitive rates.
But he said he is concerned that what is emerging in Washington is too big, too complicated. "We don't understand the whole scope of the bill," Gambrell said.
Floyd released a statement Tuesday that took aim at the support Clyburn and his fellow South Carolina Democrat in the House, U.S. Rep. John Spratt, gave to the health care bill approved over the weekend.
"This bill is a tragedy for our nation," Floyd's statement read.
Floyd alluded to the weak Southern support for Obama's handling of health care outlined in the Winthrop poll results.
"For whatever reason, Washington's Democratic insiders like Spratt and Clyburn are not getting the message, and are instead carrying the water of the president's far-left agenda," she said.

The GET Committee met on Wednesday, October 7th and discussed the possibility of opening a traditional 529 College Savings Plan for Washington residents. By "traditional" they mean a plan where you essentially purchase mutual fund shares and thus your 529 value can fluctuate with the market.

In July of this year the Washington Legislature enacted the College Affordability Act, which lowers the cost of tuition at Washington's public colleges and universities. The GET Committee is considering the impact of the College Affordability Act on Washington's 529 GET program. They have had several meetings, with more to come.

Innovation Depot is hosting this year's e.Builders Forum, a national event that aims to spotlight innovation economies in places beyond those that get all of the attention.
The International Business Innovation Association (InBIA) is presenting e.Builders Sept. 28-29. InBIA chooses cities that are emerging as leaders in innovation to host the annual event as a way of demonstrating that great entrepreneurship and innovation exist outside of more recognized areas, such as Silicon Valley and Boston.
Birmingham and its Innovation Depot are hosting the event for the first time. Alabama Power is among the sponsors of the event.
"We are incredibly proud to be hosting this event in Birmingham," said Devon Laney, CEO of Innovation Depot. "This is further recognition and validation of all that we in this community are doing to build out our innovation and technology-based economy."
For the next two days, more than 100 leaders of innovation in large and small communities throughout the country will experience Birmingham.
"We have recognized that a major area for growth in Birmingham is in the innovation economy," said John Hudson, Alabama Power senior vice president of Marketing and Business Development. "Hosting the e.Builders Forum says much about where we are, but it also is encouraging knowing that we are heading in the right direction. Initiatives like Innovate Birmingham and the work being done at UAB, Innovation Depot and Southern Research as well as other places remind us that innovation is very much in Birmingham's DNA."
Thursday will feature workshop topics that include:
- Keep it local: How Innovation Depot, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and other partners built a powerful bridge to local large industry.
- Marketing magic: How to strengthen your brand and differentiate yourself in the marketplace.
- Motivating millennials for the workplace.
- Robust ecosystems in rural communities: The success of the Technology Villages model.
On Friday, attendees will choose three of 12 potential sessions that will explore topics ranging from addressing infrastructure needs to advanced strategies.
InBIA officials said holding the e.Builders Forum in Birmingham helps to highlight the Appalachian region with "Birmingham's ecosystem as the focal point and to also provide a platform for advanced ecosystem builders to engage in a deep peer-driven dialogue surrounding advanced regionally-focused topics," according to the event's description.

Clinical Service Commissioning
The commissioning of clinical services is the process of arranging continuously improving services that deliver the best possible quality and outcomes for patients, meet population health needs and reduce inequalities within the resources available.
The process provides greater specificity in contracting arrangements with Local Health Networks (LHNs) improving capacity to monitor outcomes and intervene early where remedial action is required.
Clinical Commissioning has been developed in recent years and is now well established internationally as the process utilised by Health authorities to align funding allocations with the evolving health needs of the community and to set and monitor performance expectations.
Clinical Commissioning is an iterative and collaborative process which can be defined as:
- assessing population health needs and determining desired outcomes
- setting priorities
- determining how the desired outcomes can be achieved, designing appropriate service provision
- identifying and allocating resources, maximising the value of existing service provision
- monitoring and quality assuring implementation and service delivery
- evaluating impact and learning from the process
The Clinical Commissioning Framework (PDF 518KB) describes SA Health's approach to the commissioning of clinical services and provides SA Health and other service providers with an agreed structure of how health services will be strategically planned, commissioned and procured.
Clinical Commissioning Intentions
The Clinical Commissioning Intentions document (PDF 241KB) outlines the Clinical Commissioning intentions for the next four years (July 2013 - June 2017). The document outlines the principles that will guide the Commissioning processes and the implementation of projects identified as part of the annual Commissioning Plan.
