Clinical standards for the assessment, management and rehabilitation of post-TB lung disease
METHODS: A panel of global experts in the field of TB care and PR was identified; 62 participated in a Delphi process. A 5-point Likert scale was used to score the initial ideas for standards and after several rounds of revision the document was approved (with 100% agreement).
RESULTS: Five clinical standards were defined: Standard 1, to assess patients at the end of TB treatment for PTLD (with adaptation for children and specific settings/situations); Standard 2, to identify patients with PTLD for PR; Standard 3, tailoring the PR programme to patient needs and the local setting; Standard 4, to evaluate the effectiveness of PR; and Standard 5, to conduct education and counselling. Standard 6 addresses public health aspects of PTLD and outcomes due to PR.
CONCLUSION: This is the first consensus-based set of Clinical Standards for PTLD. Our aim is to improve patient care and quality of life by guiding clinicians, programme managers and public health officers in planning and implementing adequate measures to assess and manage PTLD.

About Us
We Are The Sound Of Waterford
WLR has its foundations back in the radio days of the late 70s when almost one hundred stations went on air in response to the void in the market for an alternative to RTE Radio One. In Waterford alone there were three music stations catering for a mainly under 30s audience. In 1979, new national music station 2fm came on air and many stations like WLR found that rather than pop music their unique attraction was their ability to be local. In 1989, after over 10 years of broadcasting WLR was one of just two "pirate" radio stations to apply and receive a licence to broadcast to their respective area, in WLR's case, Waterford City and County.
From studios in George's Street, Waterford the new WLR went on air on September 9th 1989 and was an almost instant success with programmes like Timmy and Nicola on Breakfast, Billy McCarthy on Déise AM, Tony Weldon's Sunday Morning Melodies and Eddie Wymberry proving hugely popular.
In 1998 WLR opened new offices and studios in the county capital of Dungarvan which gave the station and its staff an important base in the west of the county. At this point stations across Ireland had become part of the hugely important JNLR radio research conducted by MRBI. WLR quickly established itself as one of the top stations in the country and since the inception of the research, WLR has year after year delivered the best reach and share of any city-based local station in Ireland.
The quality of programming on WLR has also been recognised with the station winning many PPI National Radio Awards, the first in 2002 for Julian Walton's iconic series, On This Day. This was followed by a host of further IMRO radio awards including the ultimate accolade of being Ireland's Local Radio Station of the Year in 2009, again in 2012 and more recently WLR completed a historic, never been done before 4 in a row - winning the title in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022!
WLR has been an innovator from its earliest days and in 2002 brought Beat 102-103 on air to fill the gap in the South East for a youth radio station. To cater for both stations WLR built the only purpose-built radio building in the independent sector in the republic, The Broadcast Centre on a greenfield site at Ardkeen. The complex includes nine radio studios and a video studio and was officially opened by then Taoiseach Bertie Ahearn in 2004.
In 2004 WLR was awarded the first Local TV licence in Ireland for its Waterford @ Eight programme.
In 2007 newspaper publisher Tomas Crosbie Holdings bought out a majority shareholding in WLR and joined Managing Director Des Whelan as the station's owners. In 2018 The Irish Times Group purchased the TCH shareholding and take an active part in the running of both stations.
Currently, WLR is Ireland's Local Radio Station of the Year for the fourth year running. Each day 50% of all adults living in Waterford City and County listen to WLR, while each week 69% of all adults listen to their local station. The station is managed by a committed team who along with a talented group of producers and broadcasters share a real passion for radio and for Waterford. Shows like The Big Breakfast Blaa, Damien Tiernan's Déise Today, Geoff Harris on The Lunchbox and Gemma Delaney's Spin-Home command a huge audience locally. For news and sport WLR prides itself on being first for Waterford's news and it's very rare that the station is beaten to a story, on-air or online.
WLRFM.com receives almost 1 million visits each month and the station continues its quest to become a multi-platform broadcaster giving Waterfordians across the world the opportunity to catch up on all things local whenever and wherever they like.
With hundreds of TV, radio and social channels available at the touch of a screen, WLR continues to believe that just like in the pioneering early days of radio in Ireland that talent, professionalism, hard work and being local will continue to win the day with Waterford listeners.
We love Waterford. We are WLR.

Diabetes Care: How Superfood Jackfruit Flour Is Helping Fight The Good Fight
Adding a tablespoon of green jackfruit flour to one's daily meals is significantly effective at lowering the plasma and glucose level in patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Hashtag speaks to Ruksana Sultana, a consultant clinical dietitian who holds a PGDND and a Master's in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics while being a lifetime member of Telangana chapter of the Indian Dietetic Association on how this superfood works, its various benefits, and how one can incorporate it in their diet for better living.
In a new study, Kochi researchers have discovered that green jackfruit powder decreases blood sugar and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetes patients. The research, published in a prominent journal, suggests the therapeutic potential of green jackfruit powder in improving glycaemic control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) is an ancient fruit that is widely consumed as a fresh fruit. The use of jackfruit bulbs and its parts has also been reported since ancient times for their therapeutic qualities. The health benefits of jackfruit have been attributed to its wide range of physicochemical applications.
Super-powered fruit!
Jackfruit contains vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, iron, sodium, zinc, and niacin among many other nutrients. It has low calorie content.
When it comes to diabetes, what sets jackfruit apart is its medium glycaemic index (GI). This means a lower spike in blood sugar levels. Your body break down the fruit slowly, particularly the seeds which are a good source of both soluble and insoluble fibre. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), soluble fibre can help lower LDL cholesterol levels and slow the absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream, which can help prevent spikes in blood glucose after eating.
The jackfruit flour is low in carbs, has moderate amount of fibre and protein, and is rich in protective antioxidants, which makes it a wonder food for people with diabetes.
Recommended Dose:
- A single serving of 100 g of jackfruit only contains 94 calories. It is a rich source of potassium – 303mg of potassium can be found in 100 g of jackfruit.
- 2 tablespoons of jackfruit flour can be included in a meal.
Certain people are allergic to jackfruit, especially those who are allergic to birch pollen (22). Moreover, due to its potential to lower blood sugar levels, individuals with diabetes may need to have their medication dosages changed if they eat this fruit on a regular basis.
How To: Jackfruit Flour Roti
- 2/3 cup jackfruit flour
- 1/3 cup wheat flour/ jowar flour
- 1/2 to 1 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
Method of preparation
- Take jackfruit flour and wheat flour in a bowl. Mix salt in it. Add a bit of water and begin to knead.
- Keep on kneading till the dough becomes pliable and soft.
- After kneading the dough rest it for 15 minutes.
- Make balls of the dough in the palm of your hands.
- Flatten the ball. Sprinkle some jackfruit flour to the dough ball.
- Pre-heat the griddle or tawa.
- While tawa is getting hot, start rolling the dough ball into a flat round circle using a rolling pin.
- Now put the roti on a hot tawa. First cook one side, it should be less than 1/3rd cooked. Turn and cook the other side, this should be a little bit more cooked than the first side – about ½ cooked.
- Now hold the roti with a tong and keep the first side which was cooked, directly on fire. The roti will start to puff. Turn and keep the other side on fire, roti will puff more until fully cooked.

Advances in stem cell research and genomics have made it possible to grow organoids, self-assembling 3-D structures. Organoids closely resemble the architecture and function of real organs. However, because the technology is still so novel, the ethics surrounding them has not yet been fully explored. Boers et al. (2016) discuss the ethics surrounding organoids and their potential for biobanking.1
Researchers use several types of stem cells to grow organoids, and can grow organs such as gut, kidney, pancreas, liver, brain and retina. Because organoids are grown from human tissues, they can be used for precision and regenerative medicine, and can be stored in biobanks for future use. However, stem cell research has already sparked fierce ethical debate about consent, ownership, commercialization, intellectual property rights and safety.
Organoid biobanking is a different type of biobanking because, in many instances, its applications are clinical in the "here and now," with the prospect of making a difference to donor treatment outcomes. Consequently, the authors highlight a number of areas in which different ethical considerations come into play regarding organoids. First, there is significant commercial interest in organoids because of their applications in precision medicine and pharmaceutical development. Second, they query the type of consent that may be required. In organoid technology, de-identification is less desirable because it decreases the scientific and clinical value. Furthermore, organoid biobanking lends itself better to consent procedures such as broad consent, tiered consent and dynamic consent.
In conclusion, Boers et al. suggest that the first step in organoid biobanking is to glean the opinions of of all stakeholders, while acknowledging that commercialization and globalization are likely to be significant. Rather than seeing these as innately bad, they suggest that sharing also results in significant benefits to society and the individual. The key is to implement appropriate policies and procedures for organoid biobanking.

Shoojit Sircar has been political in all his movies. Nowhere, though, does he become as blatantly political as in 'Sardar Udham'. On the bandwagon of historicals, this film stands out and asks more pertinent questions than many others.
After more than seventy years of development in the industry since the event, it would have been a shame if this story had gone untold. Who better than Sircar to make it scholarly and ambitious? Although, one might wonder if it gets over-ambitious at times.
The movie is set in multiple locations. Played out between 1919 and 1940, it sets out to tell the story of a 'hero' who rose from the gruesome violence of the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy.
Udham Singh embarked upon a journey to avenge the killings of thousands in the massacre. Michael O'Dwyer, the then Governor of Punjab who was at the helm of affairs and the root cause for the tragedy, was the target.
Although these statements are passed through to the public in the beginning, Sircar otherwise does not make any special effort to remind us of the massacre until the last hour.
The scenes are short and crisp with very calculated dialogues. The length of the plot might seem excruciatingly long at times, although the fast paced screenplay holds the movie well. A sense of repetition might creep in at times but the sheer erratic nature of the screenplay compensated for the same.
Vicky Kaushal owns the character of Udham Singh, there is sorrow, rage and longing for a cause. With the little information available about the figure, Kaushal utilizes the nuances to his benefit. He is resolute and silent, and yet underconfident at times. 'Uri - The Surgical Strike might have added him to the top tier of stars in the country, but Udham Singh brings out the actor in Kaushal. The transformation is convincing. From a playful worker at 19 to a 'revolutionary' at 40, there is little you can critique in his act.
The relevance of the love interest might be questionable to many. However, it adds human value to the character. The lighter scenes are not for applause from the audience but the character himself.
In one particular scene played out at O'Dwyer's house, where Udham Singh is working as a servant, both recall the decade-long incident. Separated by a wall of the cottage and perhaps the societal positioning, they voice out their versions of the massacre.
O'Dwyer, played by the brilliant Shaun Scott, thinks out loud and tries to justify the actions. There is reasoning in his speech said out to his servant, but perhaps aimed at resolving his cognitive dissonance as a result of brutal killings. Udham, in the other room, fumes with anger listening to the lack of regret and guilt. He feels uneasy, wanting to shoot his current master and an age-old oppressor, much like the empire he once represented.
Amol Parashar plays Bhagat Singh. He is clear, seamless and smooth, and carries the magnanimity of the legend with confidence. A cameo of sorts, but a national hero of this stature has never been more pivotal to a story.
Sircar brings in a lot of contemporary value with this historical. Bhagat Singh explains and draws out the difference between a revolutionary and a terrorist. There is an impressive monologue on free speech. The movie does not shy away from speaking about this basic right. It subtly comments on the current state of demotion of this right, due to which thousands died a century ago, and many still suffer- the right to protest peacefully.
The criticism of the war and its futility is unapologetically voiced out on different occasions. But a revolutionary's direct criticism of the same puts the film in contradiction to what it wants to tell. A majority of the movie is in English. Maybe Sircar never eyed the mass reception of the piece; it is a story that had to be told the way it is.
The portrayal of the massacre is painfully real. The creators do not shy away from telling you the chapter of history which barely exceeds a page in the textbooks. However, no account, page or even a book can carry the imperishable form of violence and the unjust pattern of systemic hierarchy. While recounting the day to a British official, Udham says 'It is just a footnote in your history.' Perhaps the same remains true for us too.
Death and loss have often been romanticised in Hindi movies, especially in the name of the nation. Seldom has it been as real and heart-wrenching to watch as in this film. The pain of losing thousands of your people and the eventual immunity against the sense of death is a testament to storytelling brilliance.
It doesn't make for one's ideal Saturday night Amazon Prime experience, but that's not what it intends to do either.

Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom lifted some of the most severe stay-at-home restrictions in California on Monday, a move which looked to many to be politically motivated. When asked about those allegations, Newson said "Let's just dispense with that," Newsom said, calling it "complete utter nonsense."
In asking Newsom about the unique timing of the lifting of restrictions, a reporter asked: "Critics are saying online that this decision comes amidst a recall campaign, comes amidst lawsuits, and they're saying that the timing on this is arbitrary and convenient based off of that. I wanted to give you a chance to respond to people who are saying that."
Newsom responded "That's just complete, utter nonsense, so let's just dispense with that fundamental foundationally nonsense. So that's number one."
The move to lift the stay at home order followed other Democrat governors across the country who began opening their states as soon as President Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Last week, it was reported that Newsom and California officials were intentionally not disclosing coronavirus data for the state which was allegedly the impetus for the harsh restrictions because they felt that the data was too "complex" for the public and that it may "mislead" them if released,
Despite the stringent restrictions, California currently has some of the highest coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and death counts in the country.
Newsom received bi-partisan criticism to the rollback of the stay-at-home restriction announced Monday from those accusing him of jeopardizing peoples lives, to those accusing him of only doing it for political purposes.

National security adviser John Bolton's sudden departure from the White House leaves big shoes to fill, as few come to mind who have the expertise, experience and depth of knowledge Bolton possesses on all matters concerning U.S. foreign policy.
I've seen it firsthand, interviewing Bolton on numerous occasions on my Herald Radio show covering Israel, the failed Iran nuclear deal, civil war in Syria, the Islamic State, North Korea's nuclear ambitions and variety of other matters impacting U.S. national security and world peace.
But ultimately, in any administration, it's the commander- in-chief who sets the agenda for U.S. foreign policy and members of his administration must get in lockstep and share the same vision or relationships are bound to fracture.
That said, it's imperative the president take a deep breath and choose Bolton's successor carefully given the myriad grave threats we face that if mishandled can have cataclysmic consequences.
Consider Iran — the world's leading sponsor of terror — obtaining nuclear weapons aimed at Israel or the United States.
Or the threat of an electromagnetic pulse strike by a foreign enemy that could knock out our power grid, shutting down our entire banking and commercial systems, and endangering millions as few Americans today are prepared to survive on their own with- out access to food, running water, medical care, electricity, transportation and other basic necessities.
The ongoing tariff war with China could lead to increased hostilities ranging from escalating cyber warfare, election meddling and other aggressions worthy of a U.S. response. Then there's North Korea, which has a penchant for launching a new missile every time the rogue regime isn't getting enough attention from the president who's trying to get its dictator to relinquish its nuclear arsenal in exchange for inclusion in the global economy.
Now add to it the ongoing Russia threat, the never-ending war in Afghanistan, radical Islam and the spiraling global humanitarian crisis — just to name a few crises that must be addressed.
Add it up and what Trump needs is a national security adviser with a steady hand. One who shares his vision in ending wars rather than starting new ones, while also being mindful of the balancing act that when America retreats from the world stage dangerous actors fill the power vacuum — making the world a much more dangerous place.
A delicate needle to thread in a complex, volatile world.


text: Loblaw Companies reported retail sales growth in its 2019 first quarter, as the company gains traction on key priorities and is accelerating investments. "We have seen an incredible shift in our ability to use the data and across our organization to provide consumer offers, make better promotional decisions and more efficiently manage our supply chain networks," president Sarah Davis said in the company's earnings call. Davis noted Loblaw is "really starting to get some traction," and that the retailer plans to continue investments in data and technology to drive customer adoption and improve customer satisfaction in 2019. "We have been focused on using the vast amount of data that we have in order to have more effective promotions," Davis noted. "So this could be through loyalty having more direct promotions to personalize to customers." Chairman and CEO Galen Weston said the company remains "confident" about accelerating investments in innovation throughout 2019, as these investments continue to show positive results. "What excites us most is how these investments combined with our increasing experience and growing pool of talent are helping us uncover and explore new opportunities," Weston said. In the first quarter, the company further refined its data and analytics center of excellence and now has over 400 employees working in data and analytics-related roles. Loblaws, which rebranded its click-and-collect program to PC Express, deployed a new technology to track efficiency and ensure service times of less than five minutes, after learning customers want faster turnaround on their orders. Now the retailer is rolling out two-hour click-and-collect windows in more stores every week and is testing the ability to offer customers a one-hour cut-off on pick-up orders. The test means shoppers can add last minute items to their baskets as little as an hour before they come by stores to pick up orders. In addition to making changes like this, it also just launched an advertising service pilot, Loblaw Media Business, with which the company is leveraging the technology in its loyalty platform to allow customers to see more relevant ads when they surf the web. With the tech, the online browser doesn't get more advertising, there is just a change in the type of advertising they see throughout their regular web browsing. "They don't get any more incremental advertising than what they would get before," explained Davis. "But what they do get is the advertising that's more relevant to what they are interested in." Shoppers can also earn points for their PC Optimum loyalty rewards by looking at the ads. "It's an interesting thing," she remarked. "We think it's very customer-friendly as well." So far the pilot has focused on the retailer's own brand President's Choice, but Davis noted there's been a lot of interest from CPG companies who have been able to do this in other parts of the world. "They are very excited by this opportunity," said Davis. "We think it could be a big opportunity, but it's too early to tell."

Is there any way to use the contains() filter in a SODA2 API call. Something like this, but I get a response saying the query is too complex -
"code" : "query.execution.queryTooComplex",
"error" : true,
"message" : "Only simple comparison filters are allowed",
"data" : {
"reason" : "validation.complex-filter"
When you view the dataset here you're able to create different filter view conditions like 'DBA Name contains apple', so I was just wondering if there was a way to do the same thing using the SODA2 API endpoint.
This is for an iOS App also. My current solution is just storing a years worth of data on the device and then doing all the operations I need on my own.

Tourists love Rio's Sugarloaf Mountain but one of Australia's gold medal sailing chances can't stand it.
"It's terrible to sail under," London 470 gold medallist Mat Belcher says.
"It's a 400-metre mountain - we've got a top mark less than 100 metres from it."
The picturesque peak plays havoc with the winds around the Rio sailing venue, adding to the already complicated currents and strong swells.
But Belcher told reporters in Rio on Thursday he and sailing partner Will Ryan were ready for the conditions after 10 trips to prepare.
The water quality has also been under scrutiny, with athletes told to keep their mouths shut during races, but Belcher says it's getting better.
"Out of our 10 trips here this is the best it's been," he said.
Australian Sailing Team high performance director Peter Conde said the organisers had lived up to their promise to divert raw sewage away from the marina.
"That's made a massive positive difference to the marina. Not made much difference to where we'll actually sail, but it's reasonably well flushed from the ocean," Conde told reporters.
Belcher and Ryan have won three world championships together since Belcher and Malcolm Ryan won gold in London, and the pair go in as favourites when racing starts on Wednesday.
Conde said other sailing medal chances included Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen in the 49er, Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin in the Nacra 17, and Tom Burton in the Laser.
Russian sailor Pavel Sozykin has been reinstated to the 470 event after he was originally banned over the Russian doping scandal, but Belcher says the Australians remain unaffected.
"He's a fierce competitor, he's a great athlete, and if he's reinstated, he's reinstated," Belcher said.

A new era has begun for Formula One.
A new era has begun for Formula One.
The European-dominated sport is being taken over by an American media mogul.
The world's top motor-racing championship has long sought to break into the US market and win fresh audiences.
News that American cable TV magnate John Malone's Liberty Media is paying 4.4 billion dollars to take control from outgoing rights holders CVC should help it achieve that aim.

Despite the changes, British businessman Bernie Ecclestone remains in the driving seat. He says he has been asked to stay on as Chief Executive of the glamour sport for the next three years.
A controversial figure, the 85-year-old has been a part of Formula One ever since the 1950s.
The commercial supremo has run the sport for nearly 40 years and built it into a business with an annual turnover of around $1.9 billion.

— Guardian sport (@guardian_sport) 7 septembre 2016
The Liberty deal, which has an enterprise value of $8 billion according to a company statement, represents the biggest shake-up in Formula One for decades.
Liberty Media said in a statement, which ended a long-running saga surrounding the sport's ownership and potential flotation, that it was acquiring an initial 18.7 percent stake from controlling shareholder CVC Capital Partners.
The company hopes to complete a deal for the remainder by the first quarter of 2017.
It will be subject to the approval of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), the governing body for Formula One and other global motorsport series, and European anti-trust regulators.
Liberty Global is the world's largest international TV and broadband company, operating in more than 30 countries in Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean through a series of different brand names.
Liberty Media already has sporting interests, notably in the Atlanta Braves baseball team.

Your heart is one of the most important organs in the body, so heart problems can be serious and potentially fatal. As such, the ability to measure the health of your heart and check for heart problems is valued among doctors today. One way that medical professionals can evaluate the health of your heart is with an ECG.
Let's learn more about ECGs and how they can be used to monitor your heart health effectively.
What Is an ECG?
ECG stands for electrocardiogram and may also be referred to as EKG. It's a non-invasive, painless test used to check for indicators of heart disease.
How Does It Work?
During an ECG, small electrode patches are secured to the skin on the arms, legs, and chest. These patches then record the heart's electrical activity, providing data on your heart rhythm and any abnormalities affecting the heart. The information collected during the test is recorded by a computer and expressed on a monitor as waves.
Types of ECGs
The Holter monitor and event monitor are two different ECG types that may be recommended in other circumstances.
- The Holter monitor is a wearable device that records an ECG steadily over 24 to 48 hours.
- The event monitor is a portable device that records for a few minutes at specific times. It's generally worn for 30 days, with a button to push when symptoms are experienced.
When Are ECGs Performed?
An ECG is commonly performed to diagnose heart problems, such as:
- Arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms
- Chest pain or heart attack as a result of coronary artery disease
- Previous heart attack
ECGs can also be used to detect the effectiveness of some treatments for heart disease, like a pacemaker.
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms that could be linked to a heart problem, your doctor may recommend an ECG:
- Heart palpitations
- Chest pain
- Rapid pulse
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Confusion
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue or weakness
Your doctor may also suggest an ECG if you have a family history of heart disease, even in the absence of symptoms.
If you have questions or concerns about your heart health, contact Florida Wellness Medical Group today for primary care treatment.

Deutsche Version | CW 45-48 | CW 46-50
Paradox 1×01 Episode #1.1
A scientist has a satellite in orbit to observe the activities of the sun (like flares and stuff). But when he downloads the new images from it there are eight images that come from Earth. And they weren't taken by the satellite. The timestamp of the pictures seems to indicate that they were taken in the future. And they seem to show an attack or an accident. The institute involves the police and now a race against time begins.
When I read the description of this new British series, it sounded like a variant of Early Edition or Tru Calling so I gave it a try. But unfortunately the pilot was a bit disappointing. The scientist behaved like he was behind all it. I assume he did it to force the police to investigate but it didn't really work out for me. And the police didn't even take the most obvious precaution. They simply could have blocked that seemingly unimportant road but they didn't.
Paradox 1×02 Episode #1.2
Now they've got their first possible paradox. If they hadn't got the pictures the guy most likely hadn't died. But if he hadn't died the boy most likely wouldn't have died either. So their investigation caused the boy to die but their knowledge helped save him.
Still the scientist is too underused; I believe for the show to really take off, he has to be more involved, otherwise it's just another ordinary cop show.
Cougar Town 1×08 Two Gunslingers
Alan Ruck was cool in this episode but Travis was awesome; it was so cool to see how he first messed with Grayson's head and then conned him. 😀
Cougar Town 1×09 Here Comes My Girl
Huh, that was awkward and uncomfortable at the same time, thus funny to watch…
Bones 5×09 The Gamer in the Grease
That was one huge trailer / viral marketing advertisement for a certain Cameron movie that is about to be released. But I still liked it how Hodgins and Fisher danced around Camille in order to save their spot in the line.
Gossip Girl 3×10 The Last Days of Disco Stick
That was a bit disappointing. Not the story itself but the departure of Olivia. I really liked her and really hope she comes back. The one character I wouldn't miss is Jenny, she's just annoying.
And I couldn't care less about Lady Gaga's appearance (I take it that she's currently a celebrity?).
The Good Wife 1×09 Threesome
It's funny how expectations go. Before this one has never seen Stern himself and I thought he would be an old grey-haired stereotype lawyer. But this guy was really interesting and I am keen to learn what kind of trouble his departure will cause.
This show is really good drama, if you ask me.
Stargate Universe 1×09 Life
This on the other hand, is not. You had one semester psychology? Great, do a psych eval of everyone! We're on food rationing? Great, let's all do a lot of exercise to burn some calories!
But at least one gets more insight on the characters – even if only when they "return home".
Stargate Universe 1×10 Justice
The problem with that ship is that except for three, maybe four people nobody trusts each other. In the long run that can't either work in-universe nor for the show. It's like watching day-time soap operas where even the seven year-old niece has an evil scheme.
And while I am actually glad that Rush got marooned I fear they will find some deus ex machina way to bring him back (they conveniently placed a ship there).
Heroes 4×10 Chapter Nine 'Brother's Keeper'
This episode was kinda boring even though there were three different storylines. Yes, there were some revelations (at least to the characters, the viewer knew most of this already) but overall not much happened.
Heroes 4×11 Chapter Ten 'Thanksgiving'
That was a cool episode again. All three Thanksgiving dinners had their appeal, especially the one in House Bennet. I was really glad to see Elizabeth Röhm again. When she first appeared a few weeks back I thought it would be a guest appearance only but I'd really like to see her as a recurring character, I already liked the actress on Angel.
The problem with Thanksgiving in House Petrelli was that I already knew that Nathan would be finally killed and now I am asking myself if this was it (they said it would be disappointing) or if he will at least struggle for a while.
Heroes 4×12 Chapter Eleven 'The Fifth Stage'
OK, now he's dead. That wasn't too bad and it was ultimately inevitable or they would had to sacrifice Sylar – which was unlikely (in my opinion he's one of the five basics of the show: Peter, Hiro, Claire, HRG and Sylar).
I am also wondering: That's the big plan of this season's "Big Bad"? Gather all the mutants? And for this he kills some of his own? Doesn't make much sense, does it?
House M.D. 6×09 Wilson
That was a really cool episode which showed the very difference between Wilson and House. I really felt with House when he said that he would be all alone and I felt with Wilson when he had to learn that his patient does not share his values.

Also the game playthrough strongly favours slots, but that's to be expected on a site which specialises in slots play.

The full banking functionality is equally accessible through Spin Palace mobile, as are all of the promotional offers.
Mobile Casino App
To-date, there is no app for Spin Palace. The casino is available exclusively from the Spin Palace mobile website.
Flash vs. Download
Nowadays, most online casinos are best accessed onsite, in our opinion. Spin Palace, however, is an exception which we would say is better experienced through the download software.
Downloading the casino will give you far better access to the full range of all 600+ games. Plus, the navigation in the software is far more user-friendly. If you're hesitant to download to your computer, you can get started with instant play on the website if you prefer. But again, once you've had a taste
Customer Service

- Phone: 1-877-710-8016
- Email: [email protected]
- Live Chat: Yes

Canuck-friendly, the site encourages Canadian players like you to take advantage of Instadebit, an e-wallet designed specifically to suit the banking needs of Canadian gamblers.
Withdrawals– As for withdrawals, almost all of the options available for making a deposit work for withdrawals, as well, with MasterCard being the lone exception — but that's pretty much the case at all Canadian casinos, we've found. The casino has a 48-hour processing time, and after that, wait times will depend on your method of withdrawal. From our experience, most methods will require roughly a week to complete.
With such a strong offering, it's little surprise that Spin Palace has been among the most popular casinos in Canada for years now. For fans of Microgaming's software, Spin Palace is a great place to enjoy more than 600 of the provider's titles, including progressives like Mega Moolah slots. Pair that with unique promotions and a super lucrative VIP Club, and gamblers (like you!) are sure to keep coming back to Spin Palace week after week to experience all the casino has to offer.

Opinion Desk: Maybe Market Share Matters For GM After All?
38Sponsored Links
The following article is part of the GM Authority Opinion Desk series, where our authors share what is on their minds.
I love looking at market share numbers. To me, it's the most important sales indicator — since it is the true barometer of a firm's performance in its industry. It is the one measure that disregards all economic factors and influences from the company's performance and serves as the scoreboard to my favorite sport — the game of making, and selling, cars.
Every month, auto makers hit the limelight in releasing their latest sales figures to investors, analysts, and industry pundits. We report on these at GM Authority in our By The Numbers segment. In GM's case, you'll see Kurt McNeil on CNBC at the beginning of the month discussing the sales results of GM's various brands, along with the growth and conquest sales. What you don't hear much about, though, is GM's market share or retention numbers. That's because despite all the new products and marketing strategies that The General employs, as well as the billions of dollars it spends in attracting new customers, GM has been losing market share. Despite all of its efforts, General Motors' share of the market has been declining — not increasing — in the U.S.
Year to date, GM holds an 18 percent market share compared to 20 percent through the same time period (third quarter) of 2011.
Numbers In Context
When GM reports increases in unit sales, those can usually be attributed to an expanding economy. As the economy expands, it stands to reason that any company's sales will grow accordingly — regardless of what sales or marketing strategies are in place.
Increases in unit sales have traditionally been used by many companies to show that a company's health is improving. Some might be convinced that things are on the upswing, but the danger in relying on unit sales alone lies in the management's satisfaction in the sales increases — even in the face of the possibility that competitors are slowly grabbing existing customers and/or the undecided who are in the market for a new vehicle.
How Does One Increase Market Share?
In the automotive industry, increasing market share is so much more than having a good promotional strategy for a widely desired product. It is also about meeting industry attributes such as unit pricing, service quality, communication, and real retention programs. I am still bewildered about how little focus is placed on customer retention around the industry.
For its part, General Motors has created a VP position to manage customer retention. It has been a year now and we have seen very little from that initiative. Don't agree? Simply walk on in to any GM dealership and tell me what is dramatically different in how you are treated now compared to three years ago, or even one year ago.
Have there been any change to the CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) program since GM went bankrupt? That program is so rife with GM's old ways, including bullshit reporting to management, and unfair rewards/penalties to dealerships and their employees, that it should be eradicated and rebuilt from scratch.
All of this is to point out how important it is to plug the hole at the bottom of the water bucket (customers defecting to other brands) while spending billions of dollars in marketing to fill the bucket in the first place (attracting new/conquest customers). Despite spending a significant amount of money, the water level in the bucket is not rising, and eventually, the company will pay for it when the market contracts.
Improved Product Doesn't Mean A Thing
And while GM has made several high-profile changes throughout the organization, could it be that the arrogance at General Motors is still alive and well in the lower ranks? At the least, you may say, GM's product has substantially improved… but truth is, everyone is delivering great product these days.
If General Motors really wants to demonstrate its health in relation to its competitors, it has to improve and/or increase its retention efforts to ensure that existing customers return. Keeping existing customers while conquesting new ones is the name of the game… otherwise, conquest sales don't mean a thing, and more money is being wasted to attract new customers rather than retaining existing ones.

Security on Android improves year after year thanks to different initiatives, but even so, malware manages to sneak into Google Play from time to time. After many years of fighting alone, Google has now formed an alliance with third-party protection services to end malware before it reaches the store.
This alliance is called App Defense Alliance, formed by Google, ESET, Lookout and Zimperium. The idea is to collaborate to share information and improve malware detection, especially before it reaches users.
App Defense Alliance: A new security layer for Google Play
App Defense Alliance is formed by Google, creators of Play Protect, ESET, creators of NOD32, Lookout, creators of Lookout Antivirus and Zimperium, specialized in security with several related applications available on Google Play.
This alliance involves a secure two-way communication system between Google and its partners to share information about threats, samples, detection systems and feedback their systems through the results of the other allies.
Gizchina News of the week
In practice it means that Google will share with these companies the pending applications to publish on Play store. To make use of an extra pair of eyes. And try to stop malware and PHA (potentially harmful applications) before they reach the Play store.
Partners of the App Defense Alliance can send a request to the Google Play Protect scanner service. To have an app analyzed. The GPP scanner service then sends back the scan results directly to the partner. This direct communication also allows GPP to send requests. To partner's scanner services and receive results from the partner's scanning engines. This will generate new app risk intelligence as apps are waiting to publish. Partners will analyze that dataset and act as another. Vital set of eyes prior to an app going live on the Play Store.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, December 19, 2020, at St. Catherine's Catholic Church in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, with burial to follow in the St. Catherine's Catholic Cemetery in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.

Visitation will continue on Saturday, December 19, 2020 at the church for one hour prior to services. Arrangements are with Nelson-Hillestad Funeral and Cremation Service of Redwood Falls.
Gary was born on November 23, 1940, on the family farm near Bechyn, in Henryville Township, Renville County, Minnesota, to Leo Michael and Alvina Amy Ahrens Goblirsch. He attended District #27 Country School near Bechyn, and graduated from Olivia High School in 1958. Gary married Sandra Kay Lothert in 1960. They had a son, Scott, and Sandra passed away in 1969. In 1970, Gary married Sandra Kay Palmer and their daughter, Kelly, was born in 1972. Sandra died in 1995. Gary married Jeanne Marie Paulsen Kodet in 1996. Jeanne died in 2013. In addition to farming since 1975, Gary was a Master Electrician, who owned and operated "Gary's Electric" in Redwood Falls. He continued to actively work and farm until his death. Gary enjoyed going to the lake, attending farm and toy auctions, tinkering in his shop, and watching westerns and his favorite TV shows: CHIPS; Gunsmoke; Bonanza; and Walker, Texas Ranger.
Gary was survived by his children, Scott Goblirsch and Kelly (Jason) Steffl, both of Redwood Falls; grandchildren, Shawn (Desiree) Goblirsch of Shakopee, Sarah Goblirsch of Sterling, Colorado, Trevor (Brianna) Goblirsch of Redwood Falls, and Kaitlin and Alexa Steffl of Redwood Falls; great-grandchildren, Kylee, Devin, Jayce, Kade, Fletcher, Thompson, and Hendrix; and siblings, Robert "Bob" Goblirsch of Olivia, Ruthy Sturgill of Alexandria, Virginia, Richard "Dick" (Kathy) Goblirsch of Deerwood, Minnesota, Darlene (Jerry) Woods in Canada, and Daryl (Linda) Goblirsch of Olivia.

Google has relaxed its strict rules against allowing gambling apps on the Google Play Store, expanding their availability in 14 more countries. Previously, gambling apps were only allowed on the Google Play Store in four countries: UK, Ireland, France, and Brazil.
This announcement comes just after their anti-gambling ad tool released just last month.
The official Google Play Store will allow real money gambling apps from its official store for the Android OS. These apps are already available in the previous four mentioned countries. The notable country additions from this announcement include the US, Canada, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Spain.
Real money gambling apps were already available for Android devices, but not from the official store. Players would have to use an alternative method—one that may pose a security risk—to install these apps. Methods included other brand-specific app stores or directly from the app maker's website.
More than a security risk, though, was the exclusion of warnings for minors. By allowing gambling apps on the official Google Play Store, Google can better regulate the install base.
The four types include Pay n Play online casinos, lottery, daily fantasy sport, and sports betting. Even if an app technically falls under one of these four categories, it is only classified as a gambling app if it requires real money to play.
This differentiation has caused much confusion for Android users and gambling app makers. Many of these apps have been available for years on the Google Play Store in their respective countries.
What's more, is that there are specific requirements to meet in each country. Google may have given some overarching guidelines to follow, but the successful release of a real money gambling app also depends on that country's rules where it will be released.
The country-specific requirements mostly have an effect on the type of gambling app that can be released. For example, Germany only allows sports betting and lottery apps at the moment because of their online gambling regulations.
But then there is the issue of state-operated lotteries. In some countries, the state operates all casino games and lotteries and can pick-and-choose which game makers will be allowed to release their own gambling apps.
There are many apps available right now that use gambling-like features, such as loot boxes. These features have been fought over for years by consumer rights advocates and supporters, especially for minors and underage players.
The fear is that if gambling apps become too readily available, susceptible minds will begin to grow an affinity towards gambling. Gambling apps may provide a warning against minors, but those warnings are easily overlooked and ignored.

What's not to love about a Summer English country wedding? A recent Priston Mill wedding near Bath was one such English country wedding. Having met the lovely couple, Sadie & Dave, in Bath for the pre-wedding shoot, I could feel that their wedding day was going to be one I would enjoy.
The setting of the idyllic Priston Mill offered a stunning setting for the day. With the sun shining, the gardens in full bloom it was the perfect setting for the outdoor ceremony beside the historical mill building. Followed by drinks on the terrace and seated in the Mill for the reception of delicious BBQ.
The arrival of the evening guests was when the party started and continued long into the night!
What a fantastic wedding day and such a wonderful couple.
Congratulations again Sadie & Dave.

Fabricio Werdum Has His Eyes Set On Ngannou For UFC Return
Fabricio Werdum is currently ineligible to compete in the UFC, due to a failed USADA test. Despite this, he has his eyes set on his return fight, and knows who he wants.
Werdum failed a USADA drug test, which resulted in him receiving a suspension. Subsequently, he requested his release from the UFC. However, he was not granted this request, and was forced to sit out of action until May 2020.
While that return date is still a bit away, Werdum is still looking for what fight he could get upon his return. He has his eyes set on former title challenger Francis Ngannou. He spoke in an interview with Sherdog about this potential fight.
"The big guy, Francis Ngannou. He is a huge guy, a very strong guy. But, I visualize the fight with him and I saw when I finish him. I do this a lot, I visualize all my fights. When I fought Cain Velasquez, remember when I won the belt? I visualized everything. I would go to Mexico, stay there for two months. And become very focused. I like the fight against Francis Ngannou. A big challenge for me, I know he is strong, but I believe I finish him on the ground."
This is a bold prediction from Werdum, who lost his last fight against Alexander Volkov. However, it is smart of him to keep his name relevant. On the other hand, Ngannou is currently riding 3 straight wins. His most recent victory was a knockout over Junior Dos Santos.
Nevertheless, 9 months is a long time in this sport, where people go from unranked to champion in a year. So as that May date gets closer, the heavyweight landscape could very well change for Fabricio Werdum.

Charlotte and John Henderson are officially the world's oldest living couple. They were recently inducted into the Guinness World Records. Charlotte is 105 and John is 106 and they have been married for 80 years. They met at the University of Texas in 1934 and still live in Texas to this day.
The couple met in a zoology class. John knew right away he wanted to take her out on a date, and Charlotte wholeheartedly agreed! In college, John played football and Charlotte studied to become a teacher. They dated for about five years before they got married. While they forget how long they've actually been together from time to time, both John and Charlotte said they remember their wedding day vividly.
Charlotte and John Henderson recently celebrated their 80th anniversary
After they got married, Charlotte became a teacher and John coached football and basketball. He also worked at Humble Oil and Refining Co. Of course, they both retired long ago and now live at a retirement community in Austin, Texas called Longhorn Village. They never had any children and some people think they have had such a long life because they didn't have any kids to chase!

John said that he believes exercise has been a key factor in their long lives. He also said, "It's important to live life in moderation and being cordial to your spouse. In our ages, we've slowed down somewhat. We used to go on cruises, but now we have to take it easy. We like watching sports and talking about what we're going to do tomorrow."
While they now hold the world record for the oldest living couple, they don't hold the record for the longest marriage. That record belongs to Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher who were married for 86 years and 290 days until Herbert died.
Congrats to the happy couple!

PVS wants to wish everyone a Happy Canada Day!
We're lucky here at PVS HQ that we get to work with Devon (our token Canadian) week in and week out. He's only been part of the PVS family since April, but he's invaluable behind the scenes helping the business grow.
Devon said, "Working at PVS has been great! The team is super close-knit and it's an awesome and cool environment to come to work. Being the only Canadian or "token foreign" comes with some playful banter, but it's always in good fun.
"However, they've asked to take some pictures of me with my Canada Rugby shirt on and I'm sure they've doctored the images... I'm scared to think what they've done..."
Clearly he knows the team too well! Here's our photoshopped Canada Day image of Devon!

Ragged Ass-holes
Ragged Ass-holes
Author: Harvey Michael
It is always disheartening to hear that in the year 2014 humans are still struggling with being decent to each other. It is even more disheartening to find out that the city I, a gay transgender man, have moved to only recently already has headlines highlighting a seemingly misogynistic, transphobic, and homophobic place of business. Regina's Ragged Ass Barbershop has come into the spotlight after refusing to cut a woman's hair, saying that they want to adhere to a tradition of male grooming.
If tradition and male grooming are so important, I want the owner of Ragged Ass Barbershop to research the history of barbering and go back to the true roots of being a barber. I want people to be able to walk in and ask for a leech treatment and bloodletting. I want my barber to be my dentist and doctor; as historically barbers once practiced surgery and dentistry. Is that a bad boil you have? Great! Your local barbershop, if they're truly dedicated to the traditions of being a barber, will drain it for you. I want barbers to continue to style hair to keep the evil spirits out of their customers (also, all hairdressers were called barbers in the past. If sticking to tradition is that important, maybe Ragged Ass Barbershop should start catering to a wider clientele which is, you know, everyone besides men.) The owner of Ragged Ass Barbershop, Craig Zamonsky, is most certainly discriminating against women and LGBTQ+ identified people based on their gender and/or sexuality. It might just be me, but I'm certain that discrimination based on gender or sexuality is not allowed anymore.
This unfortunate debacle is a case of discrimination and cannot be compared to women-only gyms as Zamonsky told CBC News. These places exist out of necessity as safe spaces because women experience so much harassment and violence that is majorly perpetuated by men. Not to mention potentially religious reasons. Muslim women have every right to utilize gym facilities without violating their religious beliefs about exposing their bodies to strange men. In the end, a women-only gym falls under the same reasoning as a university's Women's Center or Pride Center. These are safe spaces for minority groups that require them. Besides, there are many gyms and health services that are open for use by men. Why be mad over a couple women-only gyms? Especially if your place of business is some sort of boys' club.
Ragged Ass Barbershop specializes in men's haircuts. When someone specializes in one field or another, it means they are particularly skilled in that area. It does not mean that they are incapable of doing something else. Are women's heads shaped different somehow? Do they have horns or weird protrusions that make barbers unqualified to cut their hair?
To be honest, a grown man throwing a tantrum over a woman wanting to cut her hair short, or a transgender person wanting a snazzy haircut, is probably not worth the time or money. There are more important things to be upset over, but Craig Zamonsky is choosing to be upset because a woman wants a short haircut by people who claim to specialize in short hair. I'm less surprised by his blatant bigotry and more shocked at his immaturity.
