After posting a record first half profit before tax, Carr's interim management statement notes that the group continues to trade in line with expectations. Management's strategy of innovation, investment and internationalisation continues to deliver growth, despite pressure on dairy farm incomes in the UK. We leave our estimates broadly unchanged and reiterate our sum-of-the parts valuation of 203p/share.
Global feed block sales were up year-on-year. Demand in the US is rising as herds are rebuilt following the recovery from the prolonged drought and Carr's has taken market share following commissioning of its low-moisture feed block plant in Iowa in July 2014. Further US market gains are anticipated when the low-moisture block line in Nevada is commissioned this autumn. UK feed volumes grew, although low farmgate milk prices negatively affected feed margins and sales of high-margin AminoMax, which helps boost milking cows' productivity. Retail sales continued to grow, supported by a new Country Store opening in Selkirk in March. We expect further growth arising from a new store in Rothbury, which opened in July, and the acquisition in June of Reid & Robertson, which has a country store and two satellite outlets, strengthening the group's presence in West Scotland
The flour division continues to attract new customers requiring the highest levels of flour quality, food safety and service levels. The division's geographic footprint is currently providing some protection from the supermarket sliced bread wars. In the Engineering division, Bendalls, Carrs MSM and Wälischmiller are benefiting from recovery in the UK nuclear market. This is helping offset subdued demand from customers in the oil and gas industry, which has adversely affected Chirton. Bendalls continues to work on the £9m contract to deliver 33 pressure vessels for the BP Shah Deniz gas pipeline in Azerbaijan.
We revise our revenue estimates downwards to reflect movement in commodity prices by c £30m, to £400.0m (FY15) and £405.9 (FY16), but on expected margin strength we leave profit estimates unchanged. Our sum-of-the-parts analysis gives fair value at 203p/share. Triggers to close the valuation gap include an improvement in farmgate milk prices (even though Carrs is less affected by this than its peers) and additional engineering contracts, and further acquisitions.

Corns and Calluses Causes, Treatment and Home Remedies
The skin on the feet can get hard and thick when we wear shoes that are not properly adjusted. Wearing uncomfortable shoes often results in the formation of small, circular corns on the sole of the foot or on the sides of the toes, sometimes even between them.
This is a form of protection that the skin applies when it's exposed to a lot of friction or pressure. The epidermis builds up dead skin cells in order to protect the deeper layers of the skin and over time those dead cells from corn that may become not only uncomfortable and unattractive-looking but also very painful.
Corns on feet may affect anyone, regardless of age and sex so you should take good care of your feet in order to avoid them.
How to avoid corns on feet
Buy Comfortable Shoes
The simplest way to avoid corn on feet is to wear comfortable, well-fitted shoes. It is especially important if you walk a lot every day. Remember, however, that corns can develop on your feet even if you simply stand in ill-fitted shoes for a few hours. If possible, choose flat shoes without narrowing tips so they are adjusted to the natural anatomy of the foot. Avoid heels and wear them only on special occasions. Daily use of high heels affects not only your feet but also the spine and may result in scoliosis.
Make sure you adjust the type of shoes to your activity. Different shoes support the foot in different ways and it's very important that you choose the right shoes depending on whether you go jogging, hiking or whether you spend all day at work on your feet. And remember that too roomy shoes are as bad as the ones that are too small. Well-fitted shoes are supposed to fit the shape and size of your feet, give your foot support and not slide when you walk.
Protect the Feet
While wearing uncomfortable shoes is bad for your feet, walking barefoot is not a good idea either. Our skin has adjusted over years to the extra protection of socks and shoes and while it's recommendable to walk barefoot from time to time at home, on the beach or some other feet-friendly environment, you should avoid walking without shoes on the soil, stones or asphalt or prolonged barefoot walking in general. To give your feet better protection, use socks that have extra padding under the sole and on the sides.
Improve Blood Circulation
People who suffer from poor blood circulation, e.g. due to diabetes or peripheral arterial disease are more prone to developing corns. If you are generally healthy but have poor blood circulation, you should try a foot massage or exercise more in order to pump the blood to your feet.
Good blood circulation is crucial for skin regeneration and prevents the accumulation of dead skin cells. If the occurrence of corns on your feet may be related to diabetes or peripheral arterial disease, you should contact the doctor and get a special foot treatment.
Proper Foot Care
Remember to exfoliate and moisturize your feet regularly. Every day in the shower you should perform a gentle massage with a pumice stone in order to remove dead skin cells. Rinse your feet thoroughly and dry them well. Before bedtime, apply a moisturizer on your feet in order to keep the skin soft and nourished.
The skin on your feet suffers more than any other skin area since throughout the whole day it's in constant contact with other surfaces, be it the floor or the inside of the shoe. That's why your feet deserve extra special care.

Home Remedies for Corns on feet
Corns normally heal on their own if you eliminate the problem that causes them, e.g. when you stop wearing a specific pair of uncomfortable shoes. The healing process lasts quite long, however, since multiple layers of skin need to get rebuilt. If you need fast results, you can try some of the home remedies we describe below.
Pumice Stone
Regular use of pumice stone will help you get rid of dead skin cells and keep your feet smooth and soft. If you want to target a specific area affected by corn, massage it with a pumice stone twice a day after soaking your feet in warm water for at least 10 minutes.
The softer the skin gets, the more dead skin cells will loosen up during the massage and you will see the desired results faster. In order to prevent the corns from developing, use a pumice stone every two to three days to enhance the natural exfoliation process.
White Vinegar
Due to the high concentration of acids, vinegar is very effective in softening the skin and calluses. It also reduces the risk of bacterial or fungal infection. In order to make the most of the properties of vinegar in the treatment of your corns, prepare a mixture of two tablespoons of vinegar and two tablespoons of water and apply it with a cotton ball on the corns.

PAIN: March 2018 - Volume 159 - Issue 3 - p 427-436 doi: 10.1097/j.pain.0000000000001110 Buy SDC Metrics AbstractIn Brief Research shows that chronic pain is related to cortical alterations that can be reflected in reduced tactile acuity, but whether acute pain perception influences tactile acuity has not been tested. Considering the biological role of nociception, it was hypothesized that nociceptive pain will lead to a rapid improvement in tactile acuity and that this effect is correlated with pain intensity and pain distribution. In this randomised double-blind controlled experiment (trial no. NCT03021278), healthy participants were exposed to 1 of 3 experimental conditions: acute, nociceptive low back pain induced by saline injection, a sham injection (without piercing the skin) potentially inducing nocebo pain, or no intervention. Tactile acuity was measured by a battery of tests, including two-point discrimination threshold (TPD), before, during the pain experience, and after it subsided. We found that TPD did not improve but deteriorated during pain induction in the experimental group compared with the control group (P < 0.001; η2 = 0.20) and changed from 56.94 mm (95% confidence interval: 53.43-60.44) at baseline to 64.22 mm (95% confidence interval: 60.42-68.02) during the pain experience. Maximum reported pain was a significant predictor (β = 0.55, P = 0.01) and accounted for 26% of the variance in TPD (P < 0.05). Other tests, point-to-point test and two-point estimation task, changed with a similar trend but did not reach significance. We concluded that acute, nociceptive pain does not improve but deteriorates tactile acuity linearly. The biological role of the observed phenomenon is unknown, and therefore, future studies should address this question. Tactile acuity deteriorated under acute low back pain. The findings suggest that pain perception rather than cortical reorganisation play a crucial role in tactile acuity deterioration. © 2017 International Association for the Study of Pain

(As mentioned in the 1st Anniversary Post, this is a series on "What Ails Malayalam Cinema". Unni has written a three part article on this topic. Part 1, 2 and 3 were published earlier. Today's contributor is Raphel Lazar – Editor)
In the last 3-4 years we were witnessing a highly disturbing trend in the Malayalam Film Industry. Initially it was the wave of soft porn movies, which constituted over 50% of the annual film production. Prominent directors secretly supported or were involved in these projects with some pet names – a secret known to everyone.
During these years, we witnessed the collapse of super star system of the two M's, which ended up with a lone film for Mammootty in the year 2002. The impeding danger was handled in a rather whimsical fashion, which ended up with a fight between the bosses of Actors Association and Film Chamber. This helped to consolidate the individual group, barring a slight dissent note by the then emerging young star Prithviraj and supported by some prominent Directors and Producers like Lal, Kamal, Sibi, Vinayan, Siyad Kokker etc.
This led to the final consolidation of Super Stars and the Senior Directors and eventual isolation of the younger generation. The media, whole heartedly supported these move with many one sided articles, which highlighted the uselessness of investing in younger generation movies and the Super Stars along with some other stars tried all their might to prevent public from seeing such movies, which slowly made the general viewers to avoid going for them. Remember the wild celebration of the 25th year of Mohan Lal's carrier, unearthing some portion of an unfinished movie, which he acted in 1978. His first movie was Manjil Virinja Poovu. To make his sagging carrier a boost with huge media support, this move was well planned by his coterie, which ended up as a resounding success as far as the public support is concerned.
The result, we can see from the sudden collapse of certain promising movies of other actors especially younger generation, which opened very well. Slowly with the support of media, especially some film weeklies, public started avoiding movies other than 2Ms and Dileep to some extend. The re-emergence of Suresh Gopi was only a temporary relief, since he doesn't have any further variety to offer.
Though 2005 witnessed success of most of Super Star movies of any type, whether it a bad or good the year 2006 finally counted as the year in which everyone started getting the seeds of their yield. Except Classmates, which was only a phenomena all other movies bit the dust. Few other movies also successful in bringing family audience in to theaters like Rasathandram (it was an average movie and nothing special in it than the combo of Lal, Satyan and Meera) and Keerti Chakra primarily due to different treatment. All other movies attracted only the strong fan base of 2Ms. Dileep become an exhausted star, with regular failures and Suresh become a low budget action star who can survive with his brand of films only and that too a limited extend.
This is evident from the rejection of all the movies since Onam, except Classmates. Pothen Vava become an average success due to wild support by Mammootty fans, which struggling to finish 50 days in more than a single theater is of the fact that family audience fed up with repeat masala and avoid seeing these type of stuffs. The fate of Karuthapakshikal, which inspite of steller performance from Mammootty and wild media support along with whimsical canvassing by Kamal, is quite an eye opener. Similarly the movie 'Vasthavam' was one such type whose success would have been a sure bet, but went down rather meekly in spite of getting excellent reviews, spectacular acting and good word of mouth publicity.
This means the number of cine goers, which is normally very low in Kerala, become an all time low since the last two years, who came out only for two movies in the post Rajamanikyam era. For Classmates and Rasathandram. How media and film word worked towards the basic success of Thanmatra, which was struggling all through.
When 'Indiavision' conducted a polling in the Kalamassery (Ernakulam) Business School for Star of the week in the last week of November, 90 % of the respondents said that the last they saw was Classmates (they selected Prithvi as the star for the 5th time since the release of the movie), which shows the frequency of their visit to theaters.
Now, the strong fan base of 2Ms will bring some collection to all Mammotty and Lal movies initially, if they are of the genre Pothen, Samudram, Bhargavan (unbearable, but collected some 4 cr), Gulan, Balram etc. The serious younger Generation like students who constitute majority of the moviegoers, (it is based on their opinion their family come out and watch movies) moved towards Hindi and Tamil movies as a solace. This disturbing trend is the reason for rejection of some outstanding Youngsters like Naren, Prithvi. In any other state they would have been super stars, but not in Kerala. They have the looks, ability, but still public reject them. Still I believe any of the younger generation, will find it very difficult to make a movie run without the support of established directors, who are running after senior actors due to lack of confidence in themselves and in the younger generation. They believe the poor script and contents, which they provide will get override by the star effect, which is partially true. But this will end up in getting fewer family viewers, as they have other options in the name of entertainment.
If this trend continues the viewers will further shrink and the future of Malayalam Industry will be in Danger. Only the senior actors can save the Industry, by promoting youngsters and advising senior directors to support them. If this is not happening, and if they work only for their benefits, the Mallu Industry will eventually die down sooner than any one anticipated. This will definitely happen by the end of this decade. Just watch. The public apathy should change, by active participation of all. Now, an uncertainty and insecurity caught up with all the Super Stars, which force them to finish off rival's movies.
In other language good movies will run irrespective of star, though stars will get some initial but not in Kerala by sheer word of mouth. Films like Kathal, Parijatham, Kanda Naal Mudal, Pattiyal, etc. to name a few. Only Classmates was an exception here, and couple of years back it was Achuvinte Amma, that too the total collection was not that great. It is high time all films world should rise above their petty selfishness and support the system to have a good future. Otherwise it is quite sure things will come to a stand still since public do not have anything to offer. The rush at the theaters, which run Hindi and Tamil movies and new found fan base for these stars, is an indication, which just cannot be ignored.
The problem is not with younger generation, but with the system the senior directors and actors brought in. Why the leading younger actors get good rating from other states, when our own system tries to find fault with them always. Why they cannot be compared with that age of the senior actors.

High Return Investments to Consider
Increasing numbers of people are looking to make wise investments with their money. This isn't all too surprising. The job market is fluctuating and many of us are looking for a financial back up plan should we find ourselves out of work.
However, most of us don't have a clue where to begin! All that we know is that we want something that is low risk, but has the potential to offer us high returns. So, where should we start out? Well, when it comes to wise financial investments, real estate is one of the most positive bets out there. Here are a few different ways to engage with it!
Investment Funds
The easiest way to engage with real estate is to take part in investment funds. Most real estate requires a huge investment to start with, as you have to purchase a property outright. However, investment funds allow you to join others in providing a group of professionals with money which they will then invest in different properties on your behalf. This means that you can engage with real estate without having to hand over huge amounts of cash to start with. What's more? Collaborating with professionals means that your money is well taken care of. These people have years of previous experience and training, so know where best to place the cash for a high return. So, if this sounds good to you, take a look at an unlisted wholesale property fund and see where your investment can take you!
Once you've familiarised yourself with the real estate market, you might want to take the next step and go it alone. Now, when it comes to DIY real estate, you generally have two options. The first is purchasing a property to sell it on to another buyer at a higher price. The second, which we will focus on, for now, is to purchase a property and then let it out to a tenant. Buy-to-let real estate secures you a monthly income. If you have used a mortgage to purchase the property, you should charge the tenants slightly more than the mortgage rate. This means that they are essentially paying off the mortgage for you and you have a little extra to add to your own pocket on the side. If you bought the property outright, or you have been letting the property for a while, and the mortgage has been cleared, you can keep the entire monthly payments as extra income. Perfect! Remember that it's always a good idea to always meet your tenants before allowing them to move in. You want your property to be inhabited by trustworthy people who will treat it correctly. Bad tenants can cause all sorts of damage. So choose people who you think you can maintain a good professional relationship with. Ensure that they are provided with your contact details should they need to talk to you at any time regarding the property or problems that may arise.
As you can see, real estate holds a lot of potential when it comes to taking returns on your initial investment. These are just two ways to engage with it, but they are perhaps two of the easiest options you have!

Do you sew? Knit? Weave? Crochet? Personally, I have rarely ventured beyond replacing buttons on shirts, but Sarah Kuhn, Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, taught herself to crochet after being inspired to create hyperbolic planes by Daina Taimina's book "Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes".
The answer is yes. Creating a hyperbolic plane crochet 'object' (the best word I can think of, although it feels insufficient) provides opportunities to explore algorithms, patterns, emergent properties, and programming - for starters. How?
I asked Sarah to explain how it all works, and asked her to assume she was speaking to a completely clueless crocheter (as I am, having never even touched a pair of needles). She patiently stepped me through the "single crochet stitch", the basic stitch in crochet. She explained the ways this stitch can be used, with no other more complex stitches, to create an object such as the gray spherical object pictured above or the colorful object below. The process is indeed algorithmic. You start with a circle out of yarn and move outwards in a spiral one stitch at a time. There is also something called "increasing". I won't try to replicate the explanation for fear of completely butchering it, but suffice it to say, every creation is different because of variables (computing concept!) including how often you increase, the type of yarn, the quality of the yarn, the color, and the composition of the yarn.
Crochet hyperbolic planes provide a simple entry into the worlds of mathematics, computing, and analytical thinking in general. They are easy to make, fun, and small changes result in sometimes surprising outcomes. A little crochet tweak here and you have a different form of ruffle; another crochet tweak and the shape shifts. Another topic: Design patterns and the implementation decisions they lead to.
Highly portable, crochet hyperbolic planes are excellent conversation starters. Sarah summarizes a typical conversation:
Scene: The doctor's office. Personae Dramatae: Sarah in chair, Person Nearby in chair (perhaps bored).
Person Nearby: "What is that?"
Sarah: "This is a hyperbolic plane"
Person: "What's that?"
Sarah: "It is math"
Person: "Really? That's math! If someone had presented that to me as math in high school I would have liked it".
[Conversation continues....]
Voila. An aesthetic entrance into the world of the formerly abstract. More complex concepts wait to be tackled by progressing to a discussion of weaving; weaving has far greater complexity than crochet and an interesting history that we know includes the computational (ahem...Jacquard Loom?).
Fiber arts (which encompass sewing, knitting, weaving, crochet) cross cultural, age, geographic and social boundaries. In some societies they are associated with women's activities, in other societies with men's activities. As Sarah says "a STEM opportunity hiding in plain sight". Not surprisingly, she is developing several ambitious project ideas that will integrate fiber arts into a variety of classes and programs with the explicit goal of encouraging interest in STEM disciplines - computing included.
Sign me up. I wanted to reach out and grab one of these crocheted hyperbolic planes the moment I saw their pictures. Wouldn't it be fascinating and fun to explore the world of computing while creating one's own personal weird masterpieces of yarn? Stepping stones to complexity. Sarah Kuhn is demonstrating that the arts and computing have a lot in common.
Computing and people who work with computers are not the nerdy and negative images often portrayed in the media. As a computer scientist, educator and project evaluator with my hands and feet in many fields I live these realities every day. I am like the kid who never stops asking "why?" In this blog, I share my questions and curiosity about the interdisciplinary role of computing with a special concern for how computing can make the world a better place.

So you're in Thailand on your inaugural SE Asia backpacking trip and you decide to head down to the islands for a spot of scuba diving and some hard-core full moon partying. That's a great idea, but I also urge you to venture out of the main towns and explore other parts of these tropical islands.
Ko Tao
Ko Tao has a hidden treasure in the form of an abandoned hotel complex set in a secluded sandy bay. You can wander around these derelict restaurants, rooms and balconies then sunbathe peacefully on your own private beach. Just over the other side of a rocky outcrop it's possible to do some cliff jumping from 5-10m high ledges – straight into pristine clear water full of coral and fish so don't forget your snorkel and mask!
To get there you need to hire scooters – anywhere from the main town will do but preferably 125cc or above as there are some quite steep hills to negotiate. (Top tip: take pictures of any damage so that you don't get charged when you return them).
Once you have your scooters, drive out towards The Tarna Align Resort in the centre of the island. Keeping the resort on your left, continue on the same track up a steep concrete hill and look out for a single house on the left.
After this the track will begin to go down again; soon enough you'll reach a sharp left turn in the dirt track with a smaller foot track leading straight on – this is where to park up and continue on foot. It's then a simple 30min hike down through the jungle (including crossing directly over a dried up riverbed).
If you're thinking it sounds like too much effort then think again – it's such a surreal experience and totally worth it; I mean how often do you get to cliff-jump, snorkel and explore abandoned hotels all in one day?!
Koh Phangan
Koh Phangan may be famous for its monthly Full Moon Parties – and rightly so – but there's another side to the island that not everyone knows about. Again by hiring scooters you can really set out and explore Koh Phangan properly – from its beautiful waterfalls in the middle of the jungle to picture perfect beaches on the northern coast.
My pick of the waterfalls is the Phaeng Waterfall in the south east of the island – it's within easy reach of Thong Sala (main port/town) and has jungle trails leading up to Dome Sila viewpoint. There's also a short(ish) but challenging hike to reach Khao Ra – the highest point of Koh Phangan at 627m. For the best sunset views head to Three Sixty Bar or the nearby Ko Ma viewpoint.
In terms of beaches, the more inaccessible they are the better in my opinion. The best of the lot is the famous bottle beach where transport is largely limited to long tail boats and therefore weather dependent (there is a road but it really isn't great).
However, being so hard to reach means you'll be rewarded with pristine sands and probably the most peaceful place on all of Phangan! Slightly easier to reach but still secluded and definitely beautiful is Haad Khom beach – check it out on the north coast.
Finally there's Haad Yuan bay. With an almost hippie vibe this place is centred on chilling during the day and partying at night – without the crowds. Eden bar is the place to be on a Tuesday or Saturday night – with music regarded as the best in Thailand and a view over the whole bay it really is hard to say no!
So next time you're in Ko Tao or Koh Phangan, get off the beaten track and discover some hidden Thai gems!
Let's start a vote – which is your favourite island?? I'm going to kick it off by voting for Koh Tao on the basis that it has a bit of everything!

Bowhead whale: The nightingale of the ocean
It is now generally accepted that the bowhead whale is the longest lived mammal on the planet, with a lifespan of over 200 years. But that it can sing with "more than one voice" and that it changes its repertoire from year to year is news. This behaviour is unique among baleen whales and is a newly discovered phenomenon that has been investigated by researchers at the University of Copenhagen.
The return of the bowhead whale
The project comes at a time when the bowhead whale, after many years of absence, has returned to the waters around northwest Greenland, including Disko Bay. It wasn't that many years ago that the bowhead whale was written off as extinct in the waters around Greenland and especially in Disko Bay in northwest Greenland where University of Copenhagen has its Arctic Field Station.
But now the situation has changed and adult bowhead whales, which can grow up to 18 metres long and weigh 100 tons, have returned to the bay. Probably because global warming has opened up the Northwest Passage, making it ice free at certain times of the year for the first time in 125,000 years. This gives bowhead whales from the northern Pacific a chance to reach Disko Bay and mate with the small local population. There is now believed to be around 1200 whales in the waters around Disko Island.
Sophisticated whale songs
Hydrophones have revealed that the whales have developed very sophisticated songs that are used to attract a mate and thereby ensure the species' survival.
"Whale song is not a new phenomenon. But the special thing about the bowhead whale's song is that they sometimes sing with 'more than one voice'. They produce two different songs or sounds, which are then mixed together. This has not been seen in other baleen whales. It turns out that bowhead whales change their songs from year to year and never repeat songs from previous years. I.e. the whales have a new repertoire each year – presumably as part of the eternal struggle to obtain a mate," said Outi Maria Tervo, a PhD student at the University of Copenhagen and the current scientific leader of the Arctic Station in the town of Qeqertarsuaq (Godhavn) on Disko Island.
"The bowhead whale is in the same weight class as fin whales and blue whales but they produce much more complicated songs, at higher frequencies, between 100 and 2000 hertz – cycles per second. At the same time the question arises whether the changes in their song repertoire are due to bowhead whales being so sophisticated that they change their songs from year to year in order to constantly attract and mate with new partners and thereby spread their genes. The bowhead whale is the only species of 'singing' whale where the gender of the singers has not yet been established," says Outi Maria Tervo, who now has a serious opportunity to study bowhead whales via different types of hydrophones, thanks to donations from, amongst others, the A.P. Møller fund.
Her studies of the love songs of bowhead whales have just been chosen to be presented at large international conference on marine mammals later this year in Canada. At the same time the A.P. Møller fund has chosen to support the project with 1.8 million Danish kroner over a three year period.
Godhavn and the bowhead whales
Professor and Science Director of Natural History Museum, University of Copenhagen and Director of University of Copenhagen's Arctic Station in Greenland, Reinhardt Møbjerg Kristensen, explains that Godhavn with its natural harbour is inextricably connected with the giant bowhead whale, which is also part of the town's crest.
Godhavn was founded in 1773 and became a base for whalers from all over Europe. Wale oil was obtained from the blubber of the whales, and was used for street lightning in almost all European cities, amongst other things.
In the 1890's the whale adventure was almost over. Stocks had almost disappeared. During a 200 year period over 30,000 bowhead whales had been killed. Bowhead whales were not protected until 1938 in Greenland. However in the 1970's when Reinhardt Møbjerg Kristensen was scientific leader of the Arctic Station, he informed the Greenland Fishery Board that the stocks were at an all time low.
World oldest mammal
As for the age of bowhead whales, it was, for many years, difficult to definitively establish the species as the "world's oldest mammal" as they have baleen instead of teeth. In connection with the 200th anniversary of Godhavn's founding a whale was caught that was older than the town itself. The Greenlanders didn't know that though, even though there were lots of old wives tales about old Norwegian harpoons being found in some of the whales that were caught. The mystery increased because at the same time ancient harpoons from a long since vanished Inuit culture were found in bowhead whales. An investigation of a whale caught off the coast of Alaska showed that it was 213 years old. A reliable method of dating whales that is available today is to measure the amino acid half life in their eyes (the so-called "aspartic acid racemization dating" method).

Regulative unpredictability, moving preference of purchasers and a sluggish uptick in demand are making some vehicle makers evaluate their India strategies.
American automaker General Motors, which has a sub one percent share in the domestic market, will evaluate part of its $1-billion financial investment revealed a year earlier.
Indicating the contracting multipurpose vehicle (MPV) sector and a growing SUV section, a General Motors India representative said the industry was also facing 'extraordinary governing unpredictability'. There has been action against diesel automobiles and the government has set aggressive emission targets for vehicles.
"We are carrying out a complete review of our future product programme in India. GM will continue with its next household of vehicles in international growth markets. However, the sourcing of elements for India is being put on hold while we conduct a full review of our future item program. As a result, we are likewise putting on hold future investment in our all-new automobile family in India up until we tighten our item portfolio strategy," the spokesperson stated.
A year earlier, General Motors' worldwide chief executive Mary Barra revealed an investment of $1 billion in growth of capability and new products. While regulative unpredictability is a factor, General Motors had other challenges in the type of minimal success of its items. Its choice to close the Halol plant by June 30 this year likewise faced concerns. The company has said it will continue production at the Gujarat till March next year.
Ford, another American automaker, said it was dedicated to generating products that Indian consumers wanted at the most opportune time. "The fact that Mustang was introduced in India in the first year of its global accessibility, consisting of in the right-hand drive markets, speaks volumes about our dedication and understanding of the progressing Indian consumer," said a Ford representative.
Ford has actually reversed its decline in India sales. For the 3 months ended June 30, the automaker increased its India sales by 50 per cent to 21,780 systems. Ford stated it was planning to play a pivotal role in the next phase of development in India's automotive industry, which is expected to rise to 5.4 million cars by 2020.

Slimquick Review - 12 Things You Need to Know
Slimquick is a company offering a complete line of supplements claiming to help users lose three times the weight. There are even claims Slimquick supplements help users lose up to 30 pounds.
To better understand the claims, our research team focused on the benefits of the ingredients, potential side effects and the research supporting the claims. Then, we gathered the facts to give you the bottom line.
Slimquick can be purchased through their Official Site.
What is Slimquick?
SlimQuick, also known as SlimQuick Pure, is a weight-loss supplement that is claimed to be designed specifically for women. It is said to help women lose weight by enhancing metabolism, suppressing appetite, boosting energy, and decreasing the retention of fluid.
This supplement contains caffeine and green tea as its main ingredients, along with some other natural ingredients. Even though it is claimed to have potent weight-loss properties, it is recommended to follow a low-calorie diet along with an exercise schedule while using this supplement.

|Plexus Slim
|Zantrex 3
How Did SlimQuick Start?
SlimQuick Pure is manufactured by SlimQuick laboratories, which is a subsidiary of a company called Wellnx Life Sciences, located in Wilmington, DE.
Since its inception, it has made its mark in the weight-loss supplement market as a practical solution for promoting weight-loss in women. Many researchers in the industry have also recommended the product as a working solution for overweight and obese women.
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
SlimQuick Claims
SlimQuick Pure, as with other weight-loss supplements, claims to be very useful in promoting weight-loss without side effects. It is stated on the official website for the product that it helps women lose three times the weight within 13-weeks. Also, it is claimed that SlimQuick Pure contains only natural ingredients.
The mechanisms by which SlimQuick Pure brings about its results are stated as resulting from six factors: enhancing metabolism, boosting energy, reducing the excess amount of water in the body. Suppressing appetite, supporting the action of certain hormones, and relieving stress.
SlimQuick's official website also claims SlimQuick Pure is the only supplement specifically designed to help women to lose three times the weight.
SlimQuick Ingredients
SlimQuick Pure contains many ingredients that yield weight-loss. Also, it also includes several minerals and vitamins which provide added nutrition. The complete list of parts is as follows:
- Green Tea Extract
- Caffeine
- BioPure Green Tea
- Rhodiola Extract
- Capiscum Extract
- Chaste Tree Extract
- L-Tyrosine
- Bacopa Extract
- Turmeric
- Pomegranate
- …and more
Does SlimQuick Work?
With all weight-loss-promoting mega ingredients in this supplement, SlimQuick Pure can be thought of as giving instant results. However, it is worthwhile to delve into the research available on the product and its ingredients to reach an educated conclusion.
The SlimQuick official website claims real clinical studies back the formula in SlimQuick Pure. As evidence, they quoted one study conducted by Dr. Francesco Di Pierro, the scientific director of the Italian company Velleja Research.
This study involved 56 men and 44 women who were overweight and between 25-60 years of age.
The group was divided into two random groups. One group was given a low-calorie diet for 3-months and the other was given the same diet with a Green Select Phytosome supplement for 3-months.
After following these individuals for 9-days, researchers observed that the ones who took Green Select Phytosome lost 30-pounds when compared to the others who only lost 10-pounds.
Also, levels of Leptin, a hormone which regulates appetite, was reduced by about 80% in those who took Green Select. There were no side effects reported during the period of the study.
And, it can be assumed that the weight-loss property can be attributed to only one ingredient in the SlimQuick Pure supplement–the green tea Phytosome.
Apart from these studies, there is not sufficient peer-reviewed research on the effectiveness of Green Select Phytosome, which is the main ingredient of SlimQuick Pure.
SlimQuick Benefits and Weight Loss
Apart from the weight loss-promoting properties of SlimQuick Pure, which can be attributed mainly to the presence of green tea extract and caffeine, it also contains some other ingredients which can bring about additional health benefits.
SlimQuick Pure's weight-loss property can mainly be attributed to the green tea extract contained in it.
The high levels of Cachetins (Phytochemicals) contained in green tea extract are known to cause increased fat- and calorie-burning by increasing metabolism, which results in significant weight-loss.
It is also said SlimQuick Pure contains chemicals which enhance the absorption of Cachetins.
Caffeine is known to increase thermogenesis in the body. This increased heat production results in a reduction of fat and glucose stores in the body, which brings about significant weight-loss.
How to Use SlimQuick
SlimQuick Pure comes in powder and capsule form. If using powdered SlimQuick Pure, you'll mix one pack with 16 oz. of cold water.
Then, stir the mixture well, until it is completely dissolved. During your first week, it is advised to have one serving in the morning and one in the afternoon.
In the second week, two servings in the morning and one serving in the afternoon is recommended. And, from the third week onwards, the supplement should be taken as two servings in the morning and two in the afternoon.
It is recommended to take SlimQuick Pure at the time of your meals while following a low-fat diet and engaging in regular physical exercise.
It is also advised not to take SlimQuick Pure supplements more than four servings a day and within five hours before going to bed.
SlimQuick Side Effects
While SlimQuick Pure may provide you with some weight-loss results, there may be some side effects. It is true that SlimQuick Pure is considered side-effect-free. But, theoretically, there may be some undesirable effects due to specific ingredients.
Green tea extract and Phytosome are the main ingredients of SlimQuick Pure which can give side effects.
The other main ingredient known to cause undesirable effects in individuals who consume weight-loss supplements is caffeine.
It is known to cause specific undesirable symptoms in people who are sensitive to it.
They can feel anxious, restless or jittery, and sometimes it can disturb their sleep.
If you continue to drink your daily tea and coffee while taking the supplement, you might have higher levels of caffeine, which may cause:
- Headaches
- Irregularities in heart rate
Other ingredients are known to cause specific side effects include:
- Iodine
- L-tyrosine
- Guggulsterone
- Chaste tree extract
- Rhodiola Rosea extract
Guggulsterone is known to cause headaches, nausea, and diarrhea. Rhodiola can cause dry mouth and dizziness.
Chaste tree extract is known to increase cramping, headaches, hair loss, acne, and diarrhea.
SlimQuick Product Warnings
There are certain precautions to take when using supplements and herbal products containing green tea extract and caffeine. green tea is known to interact with certain medications and some antibiotics.
SlimQuick Alternatives
Since green tea extract and caffeine are the main ingredients responsible for the weight-loss properties seen in SlimQuick Pure; we can find many similar alternatives on the market that can serve the same purpose.
Green Tea Fat Burner
The green tea Fat Burner supplement is a favorite product which contains green tea extract and caffeine. Also, it provides ECGC and Chromium picolinate, which give the fat-burning properties.
Apart from that, this product also contains Blueberry extract and Grape skin extract, which include the antioxidant properties of the green tea Fat Burner supplement.
It also has Eleuthero powder, Ginseng extract, Holy Basil extract, and Mate powder, which provide the energy- and vitality-boosting properties for this product.
Revolyn is another green tea extract supplement which has some of the weight-loss promoting properties of the SlimQuick Pure supplement.
Revolyn contains green tea extract, Pomegranate extract, Yerba Mate, Guarana, Siberian Ginseng, and Resveratrol. It enhances metabolism, boosts energy, burns fat, and the result is potent a weight-loss supplement.
This product is manufactured and marketed by Avilan Marketing.
Nuvoryn is another natural weight-loss supplement which promotes weight-loss by increasing metabolism and the rate of fat breakdown.
The ingredients included in the supplement are green tea extract, Guarana, Yerba Mate, Damiana, Siberian Ginseng, Pomegranate extract, and Resveratrol. Out of these ingredients, Guarana and Yerba Mate, which are two forms of caffeine, enhance the metabolic rate.
While Acai Berry, Resveratrol, and Pomegranate extract provide antioxidant properties, which help the body eliminate free-radicals and other toxins.
Metabolife is another weight-loss supplement with properties like SlimQuick Pure. It contains Guarana seed, green tea extract, Yerba Mate, caffeine, Eleuthero extract, Asian Ginseng, Garcinia Cambogia extract, minerals, and vitamins among other ingredients.
It has been on the market since 1995 and is a well-established product. Since it contains green tea extract and caffeine, we can assume it promotes weight-loss by enhancing metabolism and burning excess fat.
Akvar 20-50
Akavar 20-50 is another supplement which contains green tea as its main weight- loss-promoting ingredient. In addition to green tea extract, it also includes Guarana, Yerba Mate, Tibetan Ginseng, Cocoa nut, Kola nut, and Ginger root.
This supplement enhances metabolism, boosts energy-levels, and suppresses appetite to achieve weight-loss. It has no reported side effects and is considered suitable for men and women. However, there is little research or scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness as a weight-loss-promoting supplement.
What Users Are Saying
"Started taking this mid January this year, and even without exercising, besides walking, and changing my diet (diabetic), I have currently lost, to date, 20 lbs in roughly 9 weeks."
"Prefer the Slimquick drink mix. Did not notice any difference or help with these."
"It didn't suit me. It has side effects of giddiness and vomiting sensation so I stopped using it."
The Bottom Line on Slimquick
So why take a chance with Slimquick ingredients? We like that the company has a decent BBB rating and the company has been in business for about 10 years. However, we have reservations about a supplement offering common ingredients and a formula that may be associated with side effects.
If you're fighting those stubborn pounds, we recommend trying out a weight-loss tool supported by published research and excellent support.
Among the best products we've seen this year is one product called Noom. The program is unique, in that you get personalized meal plans, human coaching and expert articles along with food and exercise tracking and an extensive food database managed by nutritionists.
Also, they're so confident that you'll love the app, they're offering a free trial to all Dietspotlight readers.Learn More About Noom »

Online programs engage more alumni with U of M
New virtual engagement opportunities are proving popular with University of Minnesota alumni. More than 5,500 participants — in 45 states and 15 countries — used webinars from the U's Alumni Association (UMAA) during the last year. This and other efforts were highlighted by UMAA President and CEO Lisa Lewis in her annual report to the Board of Regents at its meeting today.
"Our alumni want online access to University information and resources, career and networking services, life learning chances and opportunity to attend events with fellow alums," said Lewis. "Through our webinar series, new e-communications approaches, events and more, we are ensuring alumni stay engaged with the U, making it even stronger."
In June, UMAA launched a collection of talks given by U of M faculty on a variety of topics. Known as 'Gold Mind,' more than 90 talks are available 24/7 for alumni and new content is added regularly.
Additionally, Lewis reported:
- More than 200,000 alumni received either newsletters or event listings each month;
- 43 percent of University alumni engaged with the U during the last year; and
- Alumni helped recruit new students across the U.S., while UMAA increased its presence internationally.
U alumni are key contributors to the state's economy in a wide variety of fields, including business, science and engineering, the arts and entertainment and health care. According to a 2011 economic impact report, U alumni have started 10,000 plus companies in Minnesota, employing 500,000 people and generating revenue of $100 billion.
Moving forward, the UMAA will focus on young alumni relations, expanded opportunities for career services and networking and increased corporate partnerships, among other priorities.
Athletic accolades
Continued achievement in the classroom and multiple national championships highlighted 2014-15 for Gopher student-athletes, according to Athletics Director Norwood Teague in his annual report to the Board of Regents.
For the second year in a row, the U of M Twin Cities ranks first among public institutions with the highest percentage of teams winning Academic Progress Report (APR) Awards. The average cumulative grade point average for Gopher student-athletes is 3.27.
In competition, the Gophers women's hockey team took home its sixth national championship. Three individual student-athletes won national titles, too – Kierra Smith (200 breaststroke), Yu Zhou (3 meter diving) and Luca Wieland (heptathlon). Four teams went to NCAA tournaments, three captured Big Ten championships and the football team played in its first New Year's Day bowl game since 1962.
Combined, the Gophers finished 26th nationally and fifth in the Big Ten in the Learfield Director's Cup standings, the measure of the success of an entire athletics program.
The Board also:
- reviewed the intricacies of Title IX legislation as it relates to college athletics. Deputy General Counsel Tracy Smith, along with Athletic Director Teague, Director of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Kimberly Hewitt and Deputy Athletics Director Beth Goetz outlined many aspects of the federal Title IX law. The group explained various ways the University lives out its commitment to compliance and providing equity for all Gopher student-athletes.
- discussed long-term plans for the Twin Cities campus, specifically focused on student housing and Academic Health Center (AHC) needs. Vice President for University Services Pamela Wheelock provided an overview of the University's approach to long-range planning. Dean of the Medical School and Vice President for Health Sciences Brooks Jackson and Director of Housing and Residential Life Laurie McLaughlin also reported on planning for their respective areas. The report concluded with highlights of the University's long term vision plans, including: decommissioning and removing affected structures based on site location and changed facilities demands; thoughtfully aligning functional space for key programs and students, faculty and staff; designing and developing new or renovated student housing as existing facilities reach end of life; and more intentional engagement around development opportunities on campus edges.

The Regents will hold their annual planning retreat through Friday, July 10. The Board will meet again Sept. 10 - 11.

I guess it's easy to get caught up into what everyone is doing that you can forget what's important.
What come to mind when you think about desire?
What are your desires?
Take some time and comment below what your desires are.
So lets take a look at what desire means.
Desire: is a sense of longing or hoping for a person, object, or outcome.
Our desires should be aligned with God's will for our lives.
Psalm 103:13-22
-The world and it's desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.-
God is the master of all creation I guess it's safe to say, he would know what's best for us. The world don't love no one but it's self.
Now that's selfish.
God sent his son Jesus to show us the way to go in every area of our lives. The enemy tries to attack you but with the word of the Lord you will make it through. Reading the Bible for yourself helps you to learn what The Lord desires are and what your desires should be. The more time you spend in Gods word, the more you will began to trust in him and the more he will reveal his will is for your life.
Its easy to trust God when everything is going great. When things happen what that means is that your faith is being tested. There comes a point in time when you have to show yourself approve. The way by doing so is by submitting to Gods word. Submitting is simply when we put our feelings and thoughts to the side and see things Gods way and make the appropriate adjustments. God is Faithful and Loyal. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Final Treasure
Jesus loves you. His love is unchanging.
Where there's a will, there's a Jewel. 💎

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Best stats app!
I have been using it now for 2 years with close to 100 games stats taken, of footage. Has everything you need for stats types.
Easy to fix mistakes by editing the running play log. Export shot charts, which my coaches love and all major scoring and non-scoring stats.
Customer service woes, but I love the app
I really love this app.
My only complaint is that my attempt to get help from customer service fell on deaf ears, very disappointing considering the first time I reached out, they couldn't do enough to help me.
I discovered a glitch in the latest version and I hoped to get it fixed. For some reason, the system randomly adds an additional free throw attempt as a miss when two or more free throws are recorded. There is no pattern to what triggers it to happen, but during the course of a high school basketball game, I'll find 3 - 5 occurrences. I hope someone sees this and it results in an update to fix.
This app has gotten me through my two boys 4 year high school career and one college career. I'm looking forward to the start of a second college career with this app, hopefully, with an updated free throw fix!
Developer Response ,
We don't have any record of this issue. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Great app
The best and most comprehensive stat collecting tool I've used. Easy to learn. Easy to use during games. Would recommend to anyone interested in collecting and managing game and season stats. When an issue arose (rarely) it was fixed very quickly.

By now, you've probably heard something of the Ali Spagnola saga: Well-intentioned Carnegie Mellon art student makes and markets a "power hour" drinking-game album of 60 original one-minute songs. She receives a cease-and-desist letter for using the trademarked term "power hour," spends three years (and $30,000 of her own money) fighting and eventually winning a legal battle to free the term for herself and future generations of party-minded college students, and becomes Internet-famous in the process.
You won't believe what happens next.
"I'm moving to L.A.," she says.
"I've got to make the follow-up to The Power Hour Album."
For a couple more weeks, at least, Spagnola is still in Pittsburgh. When I met with her recently at a South Side coffeeshop, she was dressed in jeans and a pink Power Ranger hoodie. "I was actually wearing this last night at the strip club," she told me. "That's how awesome I am today."
The strip-club visit was the latest of Spagnola's "Snapchat Stunts," which basically involve Ali and some friends going out and acting a fool. Anybody can watch it unfold in near real-time on Snapchat, or later on YouTube.
Today, Spagnola has well over 1.4 million followers on Twitter. Her Vine account, launched last April, numbers more than 360,000. That places Spagnola in the top 650 Vine users worldwide, a few spots above the likes of Zac Efron and Will Ferrell.
"I think most of my followers just think I'm a comedian," says Spagnola, "or like, make free jokes on the Internet for a living, which is not the case. There are plenty of times when they'll be like, 'Oh, you do music too?'"
It's not hard to understand the misconception. Aside from the live power hour and the occasional cover song on YouTube, Spagnola's musical pursuits have been limited as of late. Her most recent album is still The Power Hour Album, released in 2011 — a lifetime ago in the social-media age, especially for someone with four albums under her belt.
"The app came up," she explains, referring to the mobile version she designed of The Power Hour Album, "and other stuff too. I was touring; I was doing comedy."
Until recently, Spagnola served as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins Ice Crew. "It's like ice dancing if janitors did it," she jokes. "I wanted to make some viral incident about getting fired from the Pens, but instead it was, you know, a pleasant resignation letter."
"My most legit job right now is Fandango," she says. "I make music videos for them about their upcoming movies. We've only done one so far, and it was to announce Transformers 4. I basically rapped through the first three Transformers movies in two minutes, so you don't have to watch them before you see the fourth one."
Since then, Fandango released a second music video written by Spagnola. In it, she plays a crazed Hunger Games fan camped outside a theater three weeks prior to the Mockingjay, Part One premiere. It's concise, clever, catchy and just the right amount of corny — everything that's made her so popular thus far.
The ultimate goal, Spagnola says, is nothing less than pop stardom.
"That's what I'm going for," she says. "To keep whatever Internet presence that I have, but make some music that still resonates."
But will the legions of Ali Spagnola fans also become fans of Ali Spagnola's music?
"I don't think anything that I do will be too disparate from what I did before," she says, "because it's still me. And, if anything, I hope that my fan base would want something fresh."
"[I have] two or three [songs] that are at very early stages," she says about the new album. "There's not going to be a game, or anything. It's not going to be [another] Power Hour. I wouldn't say it's comedy music, but it will be the funny, tongue-in-cheek, witty stuff that I am usually writing."
Pressed for details, she provides this example:
"Macklemore wrote 'Thrift Shop,' and it's clearly a funny song, and it's also really freaking catchy and actually good music. And then he can also turn around a write a song about gay marriage, and be taken seriously on both levels."
"The tagline is 'pop music for smart people,'" she continues. "So, witty lyrics that you don't have to be shallow to appreciate, but it's still very catchy, upbeat kind of stuff that you can dance to."
Spagnola's move to LA will come a year after she left her job as lead artist at Evil Genius Designs, a video-game company and spin-off of CMU's Entertainment Technology Center.
"[The job] was super fun; it was tough to leave that," she says.
"It just became very clear that I needed to dedicate all my waking moments to music. And I didn't have time to cram it in from 5-9 anymore. I was moonlighting as a rock star instead of being a full-time rock star," she says with a laugh.
Quitting a successful and rewarding job to pursue stardom may sound naive, if not downright foolish, but so far Spagnola has been successful nearly every step of the way. Her successes are as much attributable to her acumen and forethought as they are her talent.
"It's way less fun when you realize how much thought I put into a stupid Vine, or how many scripts I've written for Vines, or how many backlogs of tweets that I'm working until they're just right," she says.
"There's an oddly low-key, yet completely fierce ambition about Ali," says Nathan Zoob, of the band Wreck Loose. Zoob knows Spagnola from their days at CMU, when she played drums in The Mercy Rules, a band they were in together.
"She knows exactly what she wants," he says.
Before moving away, Spagnola, along with her drummer, Colin Morgan, has one final Power Hour scheduled, the day after Christmas at Club Café.
"It's going to be a freaking blast," she says. "We're making sure I go out with a bang."
Besides the show, I asked Spagnola what she has planned for her waning days in Pittsburgh.
"I have an Evernote about it," she says. "I have Evernotes about everything! It's this complex [software-based] note system where you can categorize, and tag, and search through all of your ideas. It's pretty fantastic."
Among the items on her to-do list: try 3-D printing at the Carnegie Library, do a Livestream Power Hour for her Internet fans, and eat at Primanti's.
And while Spagnola admits to being both nervous and excited to be leaving Pittsburgh, she'll only ever be a red-eye away.
"All my family is here," says the Beaver County native, "and I'll definitely come back for CMU's homecoming. I do Carnival every year, so I'll be back here in April, I'm sure."
Before that, Spagnola is scheduled to appear at SXSW. Only this year, she'll be there not as a performer, but as a panelist.
The panel discussion? "How to quit your day job and live your dream full time."
