The largest ever wind farm planned in the Highlands has been thrown out by an appeal judge. Conservation charity the John Muir Trust sought a judicial review of the Scottish Government's decision to give the go ahead to a controversial 67-turbine Stronlairg wind farm in the famous Monahdliath Mountains.
Energy Minister Fergus Ewing had granted permission for SSE Renewables' project at Stronelairg, near Fort Augustus. The John Muir Trust charity lodged a petition to the Court of Session asking for a judicial review of his decision to grant consent without any public local inquiry. Lord Jones, who carried out the judicial review, said ministers reached their decision on SSE's project "in breach of environmental obligations".
The court heard that Scottish Natural Heritage had objected in principle to the wind farm's proposed site. Lord Jones said: "If the ministers did take into consideration SNH's objection in principle to any wind farm development at Stronelairg, they have given no reason for rejecting it, and the decision is defective on that account."
The public was also denied an opportunity to comment on a revised planning application for the proposed wind farm, the judge said. He said the government's decision to give consent should be set aside. It was claimed the wind farm could generate enough electricity to power 114,000 homes. The operators also said it would bring £30 million worth of benefits to the region.
However, the John Muir Trust said the development would "destroy the character" of an area of wild land. They said the 67-turbine development would have extended over an area the size of Inverness. The charity claimed 70 per cent of the Stronelairg site consisted of wet peatland, Scotland's miniature version of the rainforest, and would have faced severe disruption as a result of the excavation of 22 million cubic feet of stone from the area.
Lord Jones ruled in his decision that members of the public had been denied the opportunity to comment on a revised planning application for the proposed wind farm, and that Scottish Ministers did not take into account Scottish Natural Heritage's objection in principle to any wind farm development at Stronelairg.
Stuart Brooks, John Muir Trust Chief Executive said: "This is great news for all those who love Scotland's wild land and wish to see it protected. "A financial appeal brought a tremendous level of support from over a thousand well-wishers, allowing the Trust to proceed.
Lord Jones has now decided the Trust's court action was well-founded." "Due to the impact this approval had on a wild land area – which led to Scottish National Heritage removing a significant area from its Wild Land Areas map – the Trust very reluctantly took this judicial review against the government."
Lord Jones concluded that the Trust was taking the action for the public good. He said: "The interest of any non-governmental organisation, such as the trust, is deemed sufficient. The question, therefore, is not whether the trust was prejudiced, but whether members of the public were prejudiced." Mr Brooks said: "Lord Jones rightly identified that this case was taken and won in the public interest so the right thing for Scottish Ministers to do is not to appeal this decision.
"The Trust will now be asking Scottish Natural Heritage and the Scottish Government to reinstate the Stronelairg area in the Wild Land Areas map, giving an important piece of our natural heritage – including vast swathes of peatland which help to mitigate climate change – some measure of protection.
"SSE should recognise that this was the wrong development, of the wrong size and in the wrong place. The company now has an opportunity to show that they are listening to communities and tourism bodies and to engage with others to revitalise the natural environment there rather than pursue this damaging development which would cover a footprint the size of Inverness.
"Lessons need to be learned from the lack of proper procedure and incorrect decision-making by the government." SSE had sought permission for up to 83 turbines at Stronelairg near its Glendoe hydro electric scheme above Fort Augustus. However, in April 2013, Highland councillors voted 11 to three in favour of raising no objection on the understanding the project was reduced to 67 turbines.
Monadhliath Mountains
The Monadhliath Mountains are a range of mountains in Scotland that it lies on the western side of Strathspey, to the west of the Cairngorms and to the south east of Loch Ness.
The range is within the Highland council area, and the south and east fringes are within the Cairngorms National Park, but is not as popular as the English Lake District. The Monadhliath Mountains are designated a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
The Monadh Liath differs greatly in character from the greater Highland mountains to south and west, as an elevated moorland with no proper ridges. The four Munros are all on the Spey rim, three making a classic circuit from Newtonmore; the interior is rarely visited. The main valley within the Monadh Liath is the Findhorn. It is unusually sinuous, being an incised meandering river valley very little altered by glaciers.
The landscape of the Monadh Liath is one of the most ancient in Britain, its essentials as a secondary massif flanking the Cairngorms having evolved continuously since the Caledonian Mountains were created over 400 million years ago.
Thus the land surface still slopes gently northwest towards the Great Glen, away from the main Grampian divide which crosses the Cairngorms.
Although icesheets have repeatedly covered the Monadh Liath, they have done little to change its character: there are no corries away from the Munros fringe, and only a few short glaciated troughs, notably Glen Killin on the north.
It has just become recognised that thin ice on the plateau is frozen to the ground, but as it starts to flow into the troughs it thickens, accelerates, and warms up so it can erode and enlarge them. This has occurred as recently as the very last (Younger Dryas) glacial period ~12000 years ago.
Until the last few years, the Monadh Liath interior was remote and desolate, a naturally treeless and largely trackless wilderness, one of the last large tracts of 'wild land' in human terms at least, known only to a few deer and grouse enthusiasts.
The renewable energy gold rush has already led to the Glendoe hydro-electric scheme above Fort Augustus. The actual reservoir and dam are not unduly intrusive, but the extensive network of heavy-duty access roads to service all the weirs diverting water into the catchment have altered the remotenerss and wildness factors.
They will also facilitate very large wind energy projects, which are encouraged by the proximity of the high-capacity Beauly-Denny power transmission line over Corrieyairack Pass.
Energy Farm
In the Scottish Highlands, plans for the Allt Duine Wind Farm, which will be situated on the edge of Cairngorms National Park in the Monadhliath Mountains, have also been met with opposition. Cairngorms is Britain's largest national park, covering 4528 sq kilometres and housing five of Scotland's six highest mountains, meaning a wind farm would be visible from surrounding summits.
Chris Townsend, who lives in the park and represents the action group Save the Monadhliath Mountains, says they are not against renewable energy, or wind farms for that matter, but are opposed to the proposed location of the Allt Duine farm.
'We're objecting to a major industrial construction on wild land,' he says. 'It happens to be a wind farm. But I would certainly object to anything else being built up there, whether it was a tourist development, like a ski resort, or a hydro scheme or any other type of development.'
Townsend describes the Monadhliath as lonely, wild, beautiful and peaceful – a vast area of rolling moorlands and stream valleys with a few dramatic peaks. A councillor described it as a place for connoisseurs, he says. 'You have to go into it, and appreciate the details and the quiet and the wildlife. But all of this will be completely destroyed by having a huge wind farm bang in the middle of it.' There's also concern about the rare golden eagles that inhabit the area, and the impact spinning turbines could have on the birds.
Townsend worries wind has become a free-for-all from which wealthy landowners reap the benefits. 'Most of these Scottish Highlands are in private hands, and there's not that much control over what the landowners can do.' He says owners of such huge estates agree to take money from turbine companies in exchange for building rights, which encourages such companies to submit applications. 'I think this is unsatisfactory all round,' Townsend says. 'The only people who really benefit from it are the landowners.'
Golden Eagles on the Rise
Golden eagles are flying high again over an ancient mountain range in the Highlands where they have suffered illegal persecution.
The majestic bird of prey's numbers are now at their highest in over a century in certain parts of the Monadhliath Mountains.
The eagles are also returning to areas from which they have been previously absent, said the Highland Partnership Against Wildlife Crime.
Following the conclusion of the nesting and breeding season for 2017, the HPAW North Monadhliaths Subgroup said that there are "positive signs" in the area, but there is still room for improvement.
Reports from the Royal Society for Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Highland Raptor Study Group show that the overall population of golden eagles in the area has increased and positive sightings of goshawks, buzzards, ospreys and red kites have also been recorded by Forest Enterprise Scotland.

Why We Should Embrace Bring Your Own Device Day
By Koh Wanzi
While an obscure acronym at first glance, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Day is a growing trend in 21st century workplaces where workers are encouraged to use their own devices—be it their phone, tablet, or personal computer – at work.
In fact, a 2013 TechInsights Report found that 39 per cent of businesses in Singapore listed BYOD as the top priority in their list of enterprise mobility initiatives. Enterprise mobility refers to a shift in business practices where employees increasingly work outside the office but are also required to access secure corporate data.
The shift to mobile only makes BYOD make even more sense as tablets and other mobile devices continue on track to outsell personal computers. As consumers and employees grow increasingly attached to their personal mobile devices, the calls to be able to use one's personal devices at work will only get louder.
Slow, Clunky and Superfluous
Although many companies still provide their employees with laptops and even secure phones, the ubiquity of technology is such that almost all employees have their own personal devices as well. In fact, workers may even resent company devices which may appear superfluous, redundant, and lower-performing in comparison.
Many company IT departments have also struggled to keep up with the release of newer and faster devices every year. This has possibly resulted in a decrease in productivity at the workplace as employees are more comfortable with what is, in all likelihood, their better device at home.
Security versus Productivity
Company devices are meant to be secure and provide clear accountability, but if employees insist on utilising their own devices, it is imperative for employers to embrace this growing trend and develop new policies and regulation to secure their employees' devices, instead of actively opposing such an initiative.
Furthermore, with the advent of wearable technology such as smart watches, technology only looks to get even more personal. In a global and knowledge-orientated economy such as Singapore, refusing to embrace the idea of BYOD would mean standing against an inevitable wave of powerful personal phones, tablets and laptops.
With a BYOD Day, employees can both enjoy increased productivity and satisfaction as they are able to work on the device they are most comfortable with. These benefits will also be passed on to employers in the form of potential cost savings with the elimination of the need to provide additional devices, software licensing and maintenance.
Jump On or Get Left Behind
In broad terms, BYOD is arguably a symptom of the increasing encroachment of personal technology into the spaces of daily life and the workplace is clearly no exception. BYOD brings with it certain security risks, but these can be mitigated with proper implementation of anti-malware software, encryption, passcodes, remote wipe and prohibitions on jailbreaking.
A 2013 Gartner report notes a few top players in the mobile-device-management (MDM) field that offers enterprise solutions for companies looking to implement BYOD. These include companies such as AirWatch, MobileIron and Citrix. With a plurality of ready solutions to help companies deal with the attendant security risks, switching to BYOD does not have to be accompanied by huge security compromises.
At the end of the day, resisting the BYOD movement would simply mean having to play catch up in terms of implementing proper solutions and regulatory policies when the wave finally becomes irresistible, and forcing company devices on workers would be like insisting on a company uniform – and nobody wants that!

Problem and Solution Skirt
This whole skirt was one problem/solution after another.
Problem: Sometime before 2006 I bought white, narrow-wale corduroy fabric. It sat in my stash in Atlanta, in Minnesota, and in Virginia.
Solution: Dye it a nice, autumnal wine color.
Problem: Although I wet the fabric completely, the dye pot was too small and the fabric dyed unevenly.
Solution: Make a gored skirt.
Problem: I don't have a pattern.
Solution: Make a half-circle skirt in four panels to account for the unevenness of the fabric.
Problem: I don't have enough fabric.
Solution: Do eight panels.
Problem: I can only do eight panels if I flip the pattern over and that makes the pattern pieces run in opposite nap directions.
Solution: Alternate naps in each panel, then any light differences will be intentional looking.
Problem: I sewed four pairs together, and then sewed two of those pairs together and now the down-nap is against the down-nap.
Solution: Make the nap alternate two by two and make sure to put the back zipper between two down-naps for better butt wear.
Problem: I did this and topstitched the seams, and some of the fabric didn't get caught in the top stitching and I didn't pink it beforehand.
Solution: Just tack the fabric down to the other seam with a blanket stitch.
Problem: Good idea, I'll do that later. I need to insert my zipper and I always have a weird method for invisible zippers and no matter how much I iron, I can't get my zipper to turn out.
Solution: Your method works, even if you have to stitch multiple times. The stitching will show on the wrong side, not right, so stitch it and move on.
Problem: I put in the zipper and discovered this skirt is one full panel too big for my waist. And I've already topstitching the seams and don't want to rip stitches. In corduroy. Which I've never worked with before.
Solution: Baste and pull it up under the waistband.
Problem: Ah, yes, the waistband. I don't have enough fabric to cut bias strips for a waistband.
Solution: Cut four pieces, line up the seams with every other gore, and move on with your life.
Problem: Great idea, but since one edge of each piece was bias, my hem is completely uneven.
Solution: You cut it long for a reason. Hang it up for a week, then use your chalk marker to do the hem.
Problem: The chalk marker keeps giving me different readings and now I've cut and I'm afraid I'm going to keep cutting and it's going to be like a bad haircut—too short.
Solution: Fold the skirt on the center front and center back seam, and make sure the hems line up. Cut, and get over it if the hem isn't perfect.
Problem: It worked! I have no more problems. Now what am I going to worry about?
Solution: Start sewing something else.
I finished this skirt last night (except for tacking down parts of the seams, which I'll do later) and I wore it to work today. I got a dozen adult compliments and a half-dozen kid "compliments," which tells me it's a win.
Several people asked me where I bought the skirt. I told them I made it and they were rather surprised. When I explained that I did the gores to make up for the uneven dying, they told me they thought I bought it dyed that way.
I solved the white corduroy purchase mistake. I sewed on corduroy for the first time. I drafted a pattern for the first time. I'm pleased.
Problem and Solution Skirt
Why am I standing pigeon-toed? Don't know.

If you missed BIG BAD WOLVES at Fantastic Fest, don't fret. The film that Quentin Tarantino calls the best of 2013 is making its way back to theaters soon, giving audiences an extra opportunity to catch this unbelievable gem. From the writer/directors of RABIES, Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado, comes a new thrilling narrative that will keep you guessing until the credits roll.
After Gidi loses his only daughter to a murdering pedophile, he seeks revenge on the person he suspects to be the killer. Whether or not this newfound hostage has actually committed these crimes is unknown, but this father has decided that he will literally beat the truth out of him. This moving tale of tragedy and revenge makes the audience question its own morality, as it is unclear whether or not these horrid accusations have any truth to them at all. As the film goes on, it becomes more and more difficult to choose a side, between the grieving parent, and the supposed murderer who undergoes the punishment that he may actually not deserve.
If you live near Dallas, Texas, make sure to see BIG BAD WOLVES when it plays this Friday, January 31st, at the Texas Theatre in Oak Cliff! If you don't live in the area, check Magnet Releasing's website to see how you can see the film in your town.

Somehow I have managed to botch the pre-order process and cancel the release. If you were one of the people that pre-ordered Return of the Dead, you will probably have received some kind of notification that the order was cancelled.
The book WILL still be released on May 6th however, so please do check back on Amazon and pick up a copy once I get it listed on the website. With any luck, I will even have it available in the store a little early.
Thank you so much for those that did pre-order and I apologize for any confusion! I truly do appreciate it and can't wait for you to get the next book of the series. I swear I will figure out how to get a book released right eventually!

If the person before it had another stereo in the car or tok off the positive terminal without backup power to the ground and positive, and then they either put back the original radio or forgot about the anti theft system in radios now it can give you error, GM says to enter the unlock code "LOCKED" EVEN IF YOU know the number the radio has to be restored by the dealer, they have the code for your car to unlock the radio, the car dealer would need to take a look at the radio and will not tell you the master key code, as if they do that you can pass on the info and others can use it for illegal purposes.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Bath Brew House
We too enjoyed our visit here . One not to be missed when visiting Bath and we have also visited their sister pub in Bristol, which was also good. They had a selection of ales across seven pumps on our visit, so we went for the Castle Combe Pendulum and their own brew Bath Street Unbelievably Jeff.

Housed in a pleasing old building,this is the home of the James Street Brewery.The interior is L shaped with a rear extension which houses an open kitchen and a wait to be seated dining area.The decor is quirky with most of the wall coverings and the bar consisting of old door panels,cupboard doors and other wooden furniture parts.Pump clips adorn the two RSJ's that support the open plan structure,while to the front side there is a table football machine and a mix of seating,some of which is more reclaimed wood and scaffolding bars.Trendy and shabby chic come to mind.If you want to see the brewing process,the tap room with seating is upstairs but this space can be privately hired,on my trip to a life drawing class.
At the bar there are 7 handpumps offering on my trip James Street Gladiator,Emporer & Ostairius while guests were BBF Seven,Twisted Brewing Gaucho and an excellent Arbor Why Kick a Moo Cow.Keg options seemed more mundane by comparison.I sampled a sausage roll from the starter menu and at £4 it was sizeable and well cooked.The staff are friendly and offered tasting samples.
Having been in their sister pub King Street BrewHouse in Bristol,this place maintains the high standard and I would view this as a must visit when in Bath and seeking top quality real ale.It would be first on my list for a revisit.

Rex Rattus left this review about Bath Brew House
They had six or so ales on in here, with none from the ranks of the usual suspects. They have an open-to-view microbrewery here, and had three of the house ales on – I noted something called NZ Wai Iti Surgery (5.8%) on, but my companions and I all went for the house session ale called Gladiator (£3.40 a pint and around 3.9%). The pump for this ale had a small sign on it warning prospective imbibers that it is intended to be served a bit hazy. I hadn't seen this before, but reckon every pub that sells such a beer should have a "hazy beer alert" on the appropriate handpumps, as this would help head off misunderstandings. I also spotted Portobello VPA among the guest ales, plus there was also a cider on handpump. "Food from the Spit" was advertised with, for example, a quarter chicken at £5 with "sides" (such as something called "skinny fries") at an additional £3. The kitchen is open plan at the back on the left.
This pub has been given a complet makeover, to turn it into something a bit quirky. Everywhere you look there is old planking being used as décor – the bar counter frontage is old planking, as is some of the wall. There's an old and large suitcase being used as a table; sweet jars on the bar back; and an old piece of cast iron machinery as part of a large solid wooden table. There's also a table football near the front of the micro-brewery. There are a few too many tall tables/tall stools here for my liking; as well as some sofas, and the table at which we sat had only small stools for seating, one of which was a re-cycled beer cask. In fact, I couldn't find anything which I would describe as traditional pub furnishings. But other attractive features were the distinctive parquet flooring at the front of the room, as well as the stone fireplace on the right. There is a garden at the back, but unfortunately not really usable during a weekday lunchtime at the moment due to the building site next door. I guess it must be dog friendly as there was a water bowl fairly near the entrance, and at the back was a pile of blankets for use by those who might otherwise be too cold in the garden.
My only reservation about this pub is the lack of comfortable and traditional seating. The service was friendly and efficient (tasters were offered), although our pints came in dimple jugs with no choice offered. The beer choice was excellent, with the beer well looked after and at reasonable prices. All in all there are many more pluses here than minuses.

Impact of radon gas contamination in buildings on real estate property values & home sales:
This article explains the health risks of exposure to radon gas in air or water, and we describe the proper steps to remove radon and improve indoor air quality in homes.
We also provide a MASTER INDEX to this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need.
The original US EPA recommendation of "further testing" for homes that measured at 4 pCi/L during a short term screening test has in our opinion led to the installation of thousands of radon mitigation systems in homes at which the average annual exposure to radon gas may have been considerably below that level.
How did this happen? In the U.S., corporations whose employees were often asked to move for business needs were provided an employee benefit: an employee relocation plan that would actually take over ownership of an employee's home if the employee could not complete the sale of their home before having to move to a new location. This benefit avoided the employee having to bear the cost of carrying two primary residences at the same time.
The employee relocation service companies who provided this home management and home resale service to their corporate clients did not want to "take over" responsibility for a home that might give a surprise expense at the time of its ultimate sale to a new owner.
Rather than waiting for the results of a long term radon test to measure the actual annual average radon exposure level, the relocation companies simply required an employee who was planning to place their home into the relocation plan to go ahead and install a radon mitigation system if the initial radon screening test showed a level of 4 pCi/L or above.
While it's not quite clear from the radon risk level table above, notice that little footnote: "based on a person's average exposure over a lifetime".
A thoughtful reading of the EPA's radon risk data showed that the risk of contracting lung cancer from exposure to radon gas at a level of 4 pCi/L could not be measured as any different from random chance in the general population until the duration of the exposure time exceeded 18 hours per day for 70 years.
In other words, for most people, the risk of contracting lung cancer from living in a home at 4 pCi/L is virtually nil.
Smokers are at a much higher cancer risk from radon than non-smokers (about 80 times more risk for the same exposure level as a non-smoker), and the level of risk of cancer from radon exposure increases significantly at higher radon levels.
Do Home buyers fear radon? Initially some consumers who were considering buying a home where a radon mitigation system was seen installed were frightened, thinking that the home was dangerous, regardless of the effectiveness of the radon mitigation system and regardless of the original, possibly low initial radon level that led to the installation of that system.
At a home inspection in 1996 radon was tested and later found to be present at a level of less than 1 pCi/L.
The home buyer told the inspector that he intended to demand that radon level in his home be brought to zero, regardless of current best advice on the actual risk level.
Expert opinion was that mitigation of a home for radon at this level was not appropriate, wasted money, and risked stigamtizing the house.
Our graph (above left) plots the level of consumer fear of environmental hazards over time.
As we depict in this normal curve of environmental anxiety, for virtually all hazards, regardless of the level of actual health risk, consumer worry increases as media attention focuses on a given concern, then decreases over time as people become accustomed to the topic.
Currently the home buying public has become accustomed to radon mitigation systems and the remaining level of consumer worry is small in our opinion. However public fear about environmental hazards, once roused, never falls again to zero, regardless of the actual level of risk.
for a full discussion of the normal cycle of public fear that accompanies the discovery and publicity of various environmental hazards, including radon gas and see ENVIRO-SCARE - PUBLIC FEAR CYCLES for our article about consumer environmental safety worry cycles that change over time.
For a Thorough Background in Radon Hazards, Radon Mitigation, & the History of Radon Concerns in the U.S. also see these articles reprinted/adapted/excerpted with permission from Solar Age Magazine - editor Steven Bliss.
I am buying a home that has extensive granite countertops in the kitchen, bar, bathrooms, and a workshop. I'm worried that these may be a source of dangerous radiation. How can I test for radiation from granite countertops? - M.C., New York.
Radiation coming from granite countertops results from natural radioactive material in the granite. Identifying the presence and concentration of radioactive elements in granite requires expensive and sophisticated portable instruments or laboratory equipment.
These instruments and equipment require proper calibration, and interpretation of their readings requires a knowledgeable and trained user. At this time, there is no generally accepted home testing protocol for radiation in granite countertops.
At the website maintained by The Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors (CRCPD), you can find contact information for each state's radiation protection program. Please visit, http://www.crcpd.org/Map/map.asp , to find information for your state. - Quoting from Granite Countertops and Radiation Hazards, [PDF] U.S. EPA,
However we add that you should have your home tested for high levels of radon gas, as a normal "due diligence" test in buying a home, unless that testing has already been properly performed and documented, in which case you might first check to see those reports.

Oxygen therapy is a treatment that provides extra oxygen to lungs whenever a disease or respiratory condition is preventing them from getting enough oxygen. It is gaining popularity as one of the most reliable options used for the treatment of numerous types of respiratory diseases due to its supplementary, palliative, and definitive role.
Global Oxygen Therapy Devices Market: Snapshot
The prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), occupational lung disease, and respiratory allergies has been increasing worldwide, especially in middle-income and low-income countries. The World Health Organization states that each year, at least 3 million people die from COPD.
This alarming rise in the prevalence of various respiratory diseases is the primary factor boosting the uptake of oxygen therapy and oxygen therapy devices. The global market for oxygen therapy devices is expected to value US$2.8 bn by 2020, the end of the forecast period.The numerous benefits of oxygen therapy will also contribute to the growth of this market. These include reduced risk of heart failure, better mental stamina, and enhanced breathing patterns.
View Full Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com…erapy-market.html
Liquid Oxygen Devices Gain Much Traction thanks to Greater Storage Capacity
On the basis of product type, the oxygen therapy devices market has been bifurcated into oxygen source equipment and oxygen delivery devices. Cylinders, concentrators, and liquid oxygen devices are the main types of oxygen source equipment, of which, oxygen concentrators hold the leading share in the overall market.
Nevertheless, liquid oxygen devices will register strong growth in the coming years owing to their rising application in the treatment of different respiratory disorders and greater storage capacity. Oxygen delivery devices include nasal cannula, Venturi masks, bag valve masks, non-rebreather masks, simple oxygen masks, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks.
Among these, Venturi masks are likely to witness higher growth through 2020.
Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com…S&rep_id=2156
Oxygen therapy devices find application in the treatment of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, obstructive sleep apnea, and cystic fibrosis. The COPD segment dominates the overall oxygen therapy devices market and is anticipated to retain its hold throughout the forecast period on account of increasing prevalence of COPD and a rising number of patients showing preference for oxygen therapy as the first treatment option.
North America to Retain Lead in Global Oxygen Therapy Devices Market
By way of region, the global market for oxygen therapy devices has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World. North America accounted for the dominant share at the start of the forecast period and is slated to continue its leading streak through 2020.
This can be attributed to factors such as superior and sophisticated healthcare infrastructure, constant technological advancement in the field of medical devices, and growing awareness among the patient population. Rising prevalence of various life-threatening respiratory diseases is also a major factor boosting the demand for and usage of oxygen therapy devices in North America.
The National Institutes of Health states that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – the third leading cause of death in the U.S. – claims over 120,000 lives each year.
This alarming prevalence of COPD is sure to keep the demand for oxygen therapy devices high in the region.
Report: www.transparencymarketresearch.com…B&rep_id=2156
Asia Pacific, on the other hand, will be one of the most promising regions in the global market and is slated to witness impressive growth over the coming years. Factors such as a large population base, rapid economic growth, improving awareness among consumers regarding personal health and wellbeing, rising promotional initiatives by the government, and better disease management are likely to give the Asia Pacific oxygen therapy devices market a significant boost.
AirSep Corporation, Philips Respironics, Inc., MAQUET Holding B.V. & Co. KG, ResMed, CareFusion Corporation, Teleflex Incorporated,Smiths Medical, Invacare Corporation, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare Limited, and DeVilbiss Healthcare LLC are some of the leading contributors in the global oxygen therapy devices market are .

What is it about Donald Trump that has motivated so many people to get out their old psychology textbooks and notes from college days to understand this bizarre man? In fact, The Donald is such a bizarre figure to the commentariat that he has become the subject of verbiage that identifies him variously as a sociopath, narcissist, and pathological liar, all the while harboring an ample amount of hypocrisy and projection.

The Poilâne Rye flour loaf is a small loaf made with wheat and rye flour. It weighs about 2lbs or 900g (the weight may vary as each bread is handcrafted). We recommend trying it with oysters, seafood, fish or smoked meats. Storage: In a dry place in the original packaging, designed to strike the balance between too much and not enough air. You can also wrap the loaf in a cloth, preferably linen. Conservation: Sliced bread dries faster, but whole loaf will last about 5 days after baking. After that it is advised to toast it before eating. Freezing: You can also place the bread in freezer-proof bags, and freeze halves and quarters of the loaves. The larger the piece, the better. Try to remove as much air as possible from the bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature

The Different Safety Concerns For Roofers In Fort Lauderdale
Roofing services are, at some point, a necessity for all property owners – commercial or residential. This is due to the fact that roofs become damaged over time and there is a need to either repair or replace the roofing. While dealing with this issue may seem a simple task, and it is for the owner who calls the roofer, there are various safety issues that need to be taken into account. In fact, roofing is one of the most dangerous types of construction work, and professional roofers must be aware of the different hazards. This article will provide information on the various safety concerns for roofers in roofing Fort Lauderdale.
Safe Roofing Practices
All roofing projects need to be performed using a patient approach. This means that the professional must not hurry to complete the job as this can be detrimental to the safety of the roofer. When attempting to complete a roofing project quickly, the risk of accidents is raised dramatically. Furthermore, speedy approaches to roofing cause roofers to neglect unsafe practice training and the staff may not implement the actions required to ensure safety on the site.
Using The Correct Type Of Equipment
The safety of the roofing project is highly dependent on the durability and reliability of the equipment used. The typical equipment utilized in a job will include ladders, rope, and pulleys, and all of these need to study to be considered safe. Ladders and pulleys that are damaged should not be used as this causes a risk of injury to the roofer. It is essential that the ladder, in particular, is checked beforehand and not left unattended at any time. It should also be placed on the solid and level ground to increase the protection and safety of the roofer.
Keeping The Site Clutter-Free
Another important safety concern to consider is the clutter on a work site. When there is clutter on a roofing project, the risk of tripping with injury is increased dramatically. This is one of the reasons why professional companies need to conduct regular cleaning and organization of the site, in addition to identifying the site's danger areas.
Using The Correct Safety Tools
Roofers are required to use safety tools to ensure that a roofing project is completed safely. For example, eye protection gear such as safety glasses must be used. It is also necessary to dispose of damaged equipment and perform regular checks regarding the operation of the power nailer. Using the ladder in the correct manner without overloading them and ensuring that the roofer's boots are clean of liquid will eliminate the risk of slip-and-fall injuries.
Checking Electric Wiring
Faulty electric wiring can result in fatal accidents and even result in the death of roofers. This is why it is essential that roofing professionals examine the electric wires and place their ladders as far away from the wires as possible.
Additional Safety Precautions
A final and highly significant safety concern for roofers are that all equipment and material used must be handled according to proper safety precautions. For example, use one's legs instead of one's back when lifting heavy objects as this prevents injury being caused to the lower back. Furthermore, one must not lift heavy objects beyond their capacity and materials must be stored in a dry place. Watch this video for more information:
What Roofing Contractors In Denver Want You To Know
Your home's roof isn't something that you can take chances with, and if your roof is leaking or isn't looking its best, you need to hire roofing contractors in Denver right away! A leaky roof or one that's missing shingles can compromise the interior of your property and lead to serious problems down the line if not addressed properly. Before you consider taking a DIY approach to your roofing in Denver or question how you can save a great deal of money, here are a few things that all roofing contractors in the area want you to know:
Just because your roof looks intact doesn't mean there aren't any problems!
Of course, missing shingles and obvious damage to your roof should be addressed right away as an emergency roofing problem. Having said that, not noticing any problems right away isn't necessarily an indication of not having any issues. Many problems manifest themselves in unseen ways that can only be observed upon close inspection. Instead of waiting until the last possible moment to take care of any potential roofing problems, you can save money by calling in roofers in your area for maintenance.
A DIY approach will never cut costs or save you money
One of the biggest myths about roofing and home improvement projects, in general, is that taking a DIY approach will cut costs and save you money. What many homeowners often ignore is the fact that trial and error can get expensive, and it can actually make things worse. If you end up making a problem worse, you'll need to call for emergency roofing services that will cost more than having roofers address the problem in the first place. Never take any chances with your roof when professional help is so affordable and convenient!
A new roof can add value to Real Estate
Whether you need a brand new roof or you're just maintaining your old one, a properly cared-for roof can increase the value of your home should you look to sell. Not to mention, a nice roof can also increase curb appeal and help your home stand out from others in your neighborhood in a good way. It's especially important to consider a new roof if you're looking to sell your home in the next few years.
A new roof is only as good as the Installation
You may think that your roof is your pride and joy when it's newly installed, but you should never overlook the fact that your new roof is only as good as the installation. If your roofers cut corners or didn't fasten the shingles properly, your roof will still leak and cause problems no matter how new it is!
Hiring professional roofing contractors in Denver can not only add value to your home and protect your investment but will save you money down the line and amp up the curb appeal. Do keep in mind that your roof is the only thing that stands between your home and the elements, which is why you should never take chances!. Watch this video for more information:

Product Manager, Supply Intelligence
Chicago, IL
Joined: 2017
Ana describes his job as being an agent for Groupon's version of the CIA. What does that entail? We'd tell you, but…just read his story to find out!
What's your favorite Groupon memory?
On the day before Halloween, I was busy at my desk working and wearing a T-shirt and jeans (on that day, my tee-shirt and jeans combo was the most formal attire). I was already enjoying the costumes people around me were wearing. Top Gun's Tom Cruise (our engineering manager), was sitting with his costume. A few desks away, a fox was coding. I thought that things couldn't get any more hilarious. As if to prove me wrong, I saw all hell break loose in our office: Freddy Krueger, Jason, and a lot more of the everyday villains that haunted you were walking among us.
Where were you before joining Groupon?
I was born and raised in Sri Lanka. I graduated an Electrical Engineering major, completed CFA Level 3, and worked for Unilever's supply chain for four years. Then, I came to Kellogg to get my MBA. This was the first time I lived outside of Sri Lanka. Last summer, I was the product manager for a drone company. Now I am here!
So tell us about your job. What do you do? What do you love about it?
I am the Product Manager for Supply Intelligence. My product—an AI platform—brings in the best supply/merchants into Groupon. I think of it as GIA (Groupon's Intelligence Agency – like CIA). Think of it as an 'agent' going out and looking at all the available merchants in the market, and gathering intel about which merchant would maximize Groupon's value in the future ⇒ repeat. I love the fact that this is at the cutting edge of technology, and that I get to impact the entire Groupon, both North American and international as well. (This is the intimidating component as well!)
Where can we find you outside of work?
I am on okay cook (Sri Lankan and South Indian cuisines) and an excellent eater. I have won eating competitions (26 pieces of pizza in one instance). I used to play rugby and chess for school/college. I am a singer and a disaster of a dancer. Currently looking for friends who might go to fighting classes, dancing (you've already been warned), or climbing with me.
Tell us something about you that might surprise us.
I eat a lot of sweets. One of our team members brought in a bag full of candies that were too much even for his kid (remember, this was right after Halloween, so the bag was really big). I have been constantly eating away all those candies, alone – without the slightest hint of guilt.
I always believed that with the agile methodology things would be fast paced, but at Groupon, I have seen some of the ideas go from concept to implementation within a few sprints.
Tell us about your first impressions of Groupon.
My first interactions with Groupon were with the recruiter, an alum, and the hiring manager. I got the sense that Groupon had a very open and inclusive culture because all of these folks focused on genuinely listening to my story and understanding what I wanted to do. I also felt that Groupon focused more on potential when it came to recruiting, rather than experience (slope vs intersection argument: Groupon hires more so for the slope). This means that not only does Groupon benefit from its employees, but it also has a keen interest in investing in their skills and career development.
What do your parents think you do?
They still can't wrap their head around the fact that a tech laggard like me is handling a product that involves a lot of AI. "So your product has something to do with AI right? And you still take notes on paper? Son, you're like from the stone age."
What's unique about Groupon's Engineering culture?
How collaborative and organized the team is. In my team, I could find a textbook example of the Agile process, and every aspect of it. We have an excellent scrum master who works on the finer details of the agile process and drives it like a religion. I remember the entire team instinctively getting up and gathering around his table at 10:30 for the daily stand…even on Mondays, the only day of the week we don't have that meeting. As the book, "Scrum", says, he is driving the agile methodology into our bloodstream, as a way of work that would come naturally to us.
What about the Product culture?
Despite being a large organization, I can directly see how my product impacts the business. I have responsibilities that create a meaningful impact on the entire business. This also means that I should be extremely careful about the changes I make to the product given the level of impact it has on Groupon.
What has been surprising about working at Groupon? Or what would surprise candidates to find out?
Surprising to me: How fast-paced things work. I always believed that with the agile methodology things would be fast paced, but at Groupon, I have seen some of the ideas go from concept to implementation within a few sprints.
For external folks: Work hard, play hard culture. I've been at Groupon for a few months and already have been with various teams to dinners, improv shows, breweries, and even rock climbing. It is great to see that the teams truly enjoy being together whether at work or outside of work!
What's your favorite view from the office?
How does your work connect to Groupon's mission of building the daily habit in local commerce?
My platform brings in the local commerce to the sales reps. Very direct connection.
What are your favorite local businesses?
Horror houses. I visited one and learned that Groupon has a big impact on the incoming traffic to the industry during the Halloween season.
What do you love about your team's Software Development process?
How well defined the user stories are and how articulate the engineers are about the user stories. The dev team has a good 'big picture view' of how some of the changes might have downstream and upstream impact on the business. This makes it easy for me to connect the dev process with the other parts of the business and the respective stakeholders.
One of our software developers created a presentation which illustrated our process end to end. I use it all the time when I present to others about my product and process. Not only was it easy to understand, it was also quite comprehensive. Furthermore, we have a platform called Flux for our machine-learning models. As you might have already figured out, it's a very hard concept to grasp. The engineer in charge of that explained it to me in such a manner that I could well understand what it meant for my product and for Groupon in general.
We have another engineer who has an amazing curiosity to learn. He makes sure to ask questions to hammer out the details. He sweats the details in meetings and finally when the products are built, there is no question as to any of the nuances being overlooked. I believe that this ability to articulate so well and curiosity, are key ingredients to a successful process.

Home >> Master Programme >> Course Content
This semester introduces essential topics in BI, covering data warehouses, data mining, and business processes, as well as essential aspects of data management, covering traditional relational technology and new emerging paradigms. It is composed of the following courses.
This semester focuses on basic concepts of distributed systems and BD management, aiming to train students in understanding how data management can scale to large volumes while potentially also dealing with velocity and variety. In particular, NoSQL databases and semantic data management will be at the core of the semester, together with other topics needed in preparation to the specialisations. Students, divided in teams, define and implement their own project, transversal to all courses, potentially ready to be continued as a start-up. The semester consists of the following courses:
Students will attend the summer school organised annually by one partner institution. Presented by leading researchers in the field, it provides students with theoretical and practical skills in the domain. Industrial presentations will allow participants to understand the current product offer.
More information on the summer school can be found in the Summer School page.
Although not mandatory, in order to acquire a first working experience, students are encouraged to participate in summer internships, typically with industrial associated partners, between the end of the summer school and the beginning of the third semester.
This specialisation focuses on scalable data analytics for BI, particularly, on large, heterogeneous, and high-throughput data (i.e., for both data-at-rest and data-in- motion). The theoretical courses enable students to acquire a foundation on large-scale analytics addressing the Volume, Velocity, and Variety challenges. In addition, the seminar on the state-of-the-art scalable analytics and tools, and the project offer practical experience for students to gain expertise in the usage of open-source BD tools. The specialisation consists of the following courses (students must choose two among the first three).
The specialisation focuses on methods, techniques, and tools for the design and analysis of process-aware business information systems, i.e., systems that support business processes in organisations. The objective is that students are able to build complex systems involving processes, humans, and organisations, thus dealing with the Variety and the Value challenges. The specialisation consists of the following courses.
This specialisation focuses on three of the Vs of BD, namely Variety, Variability, and Veracity. Its objective is to train students to understand that accurate analysis depends on the quality and integration of highly heterogeneous source data. Students will get acquainted with a range of data types and sources including textual, web, spatio-temporal data and user traces, along with the techniques to process and analyse them. The specialisation is composed of the following courses.
During the fourth semester, students will put into practice what they have learned during the previous semesters, either in an industrial or a HEI partner. Students are encouraged to devote their master's thesis to start-up creation. The thesis is evaluated jointly. The thesis work will be considered for submission to scientific conferences.
The closing event of the programme is organised annually by one partner institution. All main partners will participate in the event, associated partners and industrial organisations will be invited to attend. In this event the students will defend their master's thesis, which will allow all partners to evaluate their skills. The event will also be the ideal place to assess the programme, and to discuss best practices and curriculum evolution. The event will be followed by the graduation ceremony.<.p>

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 47906
tulip 0.9.15-pre3 driver not initializing card
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:01:19 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5-10 i586; en-US; rv:0.9.1)
Description of problem:
I am using Redhat 7.1 i386, but using the rawhide kernel, 2.4.5-10 on two
of my four machines. I am trying to find a kernel that my VIA KX133 Athlon
MB likes. I want to use the same setup on all my machines but when I went
to install the rawhide kernel on my router its kensington combo card (DEC
tulip based) would not activate.
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Intall RedHat 7.1 i386 on i586 with all patches
2. Upgrade to rawhide e2fsprogs and kernel 2.4.5-10
3. Update lilo.conf and run lilo, reboot
You need a kensignton combo card with a DEC 21041 chipset
Actual Results: My rtl8139 based card activates and configures
My Dec Tulip card does not activate, works fine on 2.4.2-12 kernel
Expected Results: The Dec Tulip card should activate and configure.
Additional info:
the driver in 2.4.3-12 is
Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.14 (February 20, 2001)
eth0: Digital DC21041 Tulip rev 17 at 0x5400, 21041 mode,
The driver in the 2.4.5-10 kernel is 0.9.15-pre3
plugged into a hub, by any chance?
The card is plugged into a hub along with my cable modem, a com21, note that it
is _not_ a kinsington card...it is a _kingston_ card. My bad.
Same problem using rawhide 2.4.6-2 kernel with 0.9.15-pre6 tulip driver.
From dmesg output:
Linux TuLinux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre6 (July 2, 2001)
You're the third person seeing this. This means that we will either reuse
the exact driver in 2.4.2-2/2.4.3-12 soon, or at least ship both and do a
per-PCI ID test which one works.

Robotic submarine on Antarctic test before icy Jupiter ocean probeDecember 15th, 2007 - 5:37 pm ICT by admin
London, December 15 (ANI): Scientists are developing a robotic submarine to explore the oceans thought to lie beneath the icy crust on Jupiter's moon Europa.
The submarine, named Endurance, will be tested for its efficacy in an Antarctic lake next year. A previous version of the vessel has already mapped the balmier waters of a Mexican sinkhole.
It was revealed during a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco, California, that the submarine would survey Antarctica's West Lake Bonney in October 2008 and again in 2009.
Capped by a perennial layer of ice about 4 metres thick, the four-kilometre-wide lake is 40 metres deep. The crust has kept the lake's waters pristine and virtually unexplored.
In order to facilitate Endurances entry beneath the ice surface, hot water drills will be used to bore a hole.
Once beneath the ice, the vessel would gather information for a three-dimensional map of the lake, and the submerged face of its adjacent glacier. It will also sample the -50 degree Celsius waters for signs of life.
Upon release, Endurance will navigate on its own for up to eight hours at a time. It will be an important test because sending radio commands to the distant, icy moon from Earth will take about half an hour.
"Europa's far enough away where you're not going to be able to drive it like a video game. The robot would need a fair amount of its own intelligence to make its own decisions. With Endurance, we're at that point," New Scientist quoted lead investigator Peter Doran of the University of Illinois in Chicago, as saying.
He revealed that Endurance would follow a pre-programmed path just beneath the ice.
"This is so we don't disturb the environment we're studying with the robot's propellers," Doran said.
He said that the vessel would help measure water temperature, salinity, turbidity, dissolved organic carbon, and scan for chlorophyll. Together, such measurements should be enough to detect the presence of life, he added.
However, scientists still have some issues to resolve before Endurance may be exploited to explore otherworldly seas. The vessel is said to be too massive to be sent on interplanetary travel.
Scientists may have to establish a docking station in or around the ice to relay data to Earth because radio waves travel poorly through water, but no one has even begun working on such a transmitter. (ANI)

Marshall is an forthcoming American biographical thriller film directed by Reginald Hudlin and composed by Michael and Jacob Koskoff starring Chadwick Boseman about the earliest African-American Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and among the earliest instances of his early career. Principal photography began in mid-December 2015 in Los Angeles and continued in the spring of 2016 in Buffalo.
Principal photography on the movie started in mid-December 2015 at Los Angeles before going to Buffalo in the spring of 2016 that included shoots at Buffalo City Hall, the Buffalo Central Terminal, Daemen College and Niagara Falls. Michael Koskoff along with his son Jacob Koskoff wrote the script which Reginald Hudlin will be directing.
Marshall will soon be starring Chadwick Boseman, whom we have already seen play another real character as James Brown in the film that I feel great- The narrative of James Brown. The next year will also see him in among their most anticipated releases, Black Panther. Together with him stand out from the cast Kate Hudson, Dan Stevens, James Cromwell, Josh Gad and Sterling K. Brown, among others. Before becoming the first African American Supreme Court judge, Thurgood Marshall was a attorney who became known for winning Brown's case against the Board of Education, in which segregated schools were prohibited.
The movie goes back, even longer, years back into this occasion when he was a young lawyer who decides to go to Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur who is accused by his wealthy boss of rape and attempted murder. Marshall makes the decision to associate with Samuel Friedman, a young lawyer with no expertise in criminal law. Both will try to discover the truth in a trial that, in its own day, helped lay the groundwork for the civil rights movement.

Hello, Crafters.
On my blog yesterday, I told you that I'm not setting a challenge for myself this week as I'm off to the Stampin' Up! 3-day Convention in Brussels, which starts on Thursday.
However, I'm going to try and post a different card each day, so let's see how far I get!
Today's card is the card I made for hubby's birthday last Thursday.
I wanted to use the turtle stamp from the From Land To Sea Stamp Set as he loves animals.
I was struggling to come up with an idea, mainly, I think, because I've been in Christmas mode for so long now!
I decided to have a look on Pinterest to see if anything could inspire my creative juices.
I saw a couple of ideas and was about to close Pinterest, when I saw this card and I was absolutely bowled over by it!
I thought what a brilliant idea and unusually for me, I did a straight copy of it - any changes I've made are very small.
First of all I'd like to acknowledge the creator of this card, and that is Heather from www.playingwithpapercrafting.com - thanks, Heather, your card is brilliant!
When I make personalised cards, I don't worry about making sure I use only current Stampin' Up! products which applies to the background Designer Series Paper - it's from last year's Nordic Noel.
I started my card with a 6" x 6" card base with a layer of Night Of Navy Card Stock and a layer of Nordic Noel.
For the central image, I stamped the lighthouse from Land To Sea using Night of Navy ink and coloured it in using Real Read and Hello Honey Marker Pens.
I stamped the lighthose onto a Post-It note to use as a mask and stamped the "land" using the "square" stamp from the Work of Art Stamp Set.
I used Bermuda Bay and Mint Macaroon Ink for the sea, using the long curved stamp from the Work of Art Stamp Set.
I punched two different sized scalloped circles from computer paper and used them to sponge the sky with Soft Sky Ink.
The brilliance of this card comes from the "foam" created by stamping the solid "splodge" stamp from Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set using Versamark and heat embossing with White Embossing Powder.
I drew the seagulls using the Smoky Slate Marker Pen.
The final touch was the sentiment which is from Guy Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Night of Navy and die cut with one of the dies from the Project Life Cards & Framelits.
I also die cut one shape in Night of Navy, cut it in half and adhered at the back with the top and bottom exposed.
The only part I would change if I made his card again, is I'd make the "foam" come higher out of the sea - if you have a look at Heather's card, you'll see what I mean.
I hope you enjoyed this little break from Christmas cards. Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Linux can do a lot of things, but can it run Crysis? Not without emulation. However, a job posting on the Crytek website suggests the Crysis franchise could make its way to the alternative OS. Crytek is looking for someone to "maintain Linux support for CryENGINE."
First spotted by Linux Games, the job description doesn't mention porting existing titles. Successful applicants will be charged with supporting both internal and external developers, though. Engine licensees will presumably have the option of offering Linux versions of their games.
Linux has a minuscule installed base among gamers, but Valve's Steam console is expected to run a variant of the OS. If the so-called Steam box is a success, the size of the Linux gaming market could grow dramatically. Valve already has a Linux version of its own Source engine, and the studio has been steadily porting its back catalog of games. Plenty of indie developers are offering Linux variants of their games, as well.
Earlier this year, Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli said he expected all of the developer's games to be free-to-play within five years. What better way to complement those titles than with a free operating system?

The big picture
England start as second-favourites for this match, their aura so diminished that some bookmakers are offering two-to-one that they go home winless. But team director Andy Flower is hopeful that his seam attack – which is likely to be bolstered by the return of Stuart Broad – can find its feet at the Wanderers. "The pace and bounce should suit us better than the conditions at Centurion," Flower said, "which would have played into Sri Lanka's hands."
Head to head
Tillekeratne Dilshan got this tournament off to a flying start with his sparkling century against South Africa. The inventor of the "Dilscoop" – a potentially lethal shot which sends the ball flying over the wicketkeeper's head – Dilshan is likely to blitz England's attack unless James Anderson can remove him in the first few overs.
International man of mystery
England are about to come up against Sri Lanka's baffling mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis for the first time. According to Flower, "The guys have seen footage of him, and have spoken to people who have had success against him. They are as prepared as they can be without having actually faced him."
Teams: England (probable): *AJ Strauss, JL Denly, OA Shah, PD Collingwood, †MJ Prior, EJG Morgan, SCJ Broad, GP Swann, TT Bresnan, JM Anderson, RJ Sidebottom.
Sri Lanka: (probable): TM Dilshan, ST Jayasuriya, *†KC Sangakkara, DPMD Jayawardene, TT Samaraweera, AD Mathews, SHT Kandamby, KMDM Kulasekara, M Muralitharan, SL Malinga, BAW Mendis.
Weather watch: Rain is forecast for this afternoon and this evening.

BEIJING -- China's president, defense minister, parliament head and five other senior leaders will retire from top-level positions within the Chinese Communist Party, a Beijing-backed newspaper in Hong Kong reported yesterday.
The eight leaders currently make up a majority of the party's highest body, its 14-member Politburo. Two of them also sit on the Politburo's Standing Committee, the ultimate decision-making body in China. They range in age from 66 to 85.
With the party holding its national congress this week, the eight have asked not to be considered for election to the party's Central Committee, from which Politburo seats and other top positions are filled, the Hong Kong report said.
