With my tagline #Theversatileemcee, I seek to explore more opportunities and embrace new challenges in events hosting, but little did I know that my versatility would soon be put to a test through an encounter with my latest couple, Sadiq and Najat.
Their Love Story: In 2014, Sadiq Abubakar Seidu, a young professional and graduate of the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT), met his lovely bride, Najat Yusif, then a student of the University of Ghana through a mutual friend. That was the begining of a beautiful friendship which has resulted in marriage after 3 years.
The Test: I had attended an Islamic marriage reception only once in 2013 and did not pay much attention to the proceedings.
But here I was, hired to officiate one on Sunday, January 22, 2017 at Top Venue, Adenta. The couple initially prefered a Hausa-speaking MC and their planner had earlier called to ask if I could speak Hausa and it was a BIG NO. I knew that gig was not for me and I made attempts to recommend any colleague MC well versed in the language. However, after a phone conversation with the bride and a meeting with the groom and planner on Friday evening to finalize photography and video arrangements (https://www.facebook.com/PinholeXpressions/), I left the meeting grounds as a Co-MC for the big day. Then on Saturday night, the groom calls and says, "Raj you're handling the show alone." Wow! I don't know what informed their decision; perhaps, the actualization of Steve Martin's "be so good they can't ignore you."
It was a mixed feeling- I was excited because I had another opportunity to serve and do what I'm passionate about but I also thought of it as a challenge, considering that I was going to address a different kind of audience, the majority whose language I could not speak nor understand. I also had less than 24hours to get myself ready. But I was not puturbed. I said to myself "this is a test of your versatility….. Mz Raj, be yourself and give it your best shot!" Besides, "The will of God will never lead you to where His Grace cannot keep you".
The day was finally here and interestingly, my perceived challenge was not insurmountable. I rocked the mic in confidence and style and it got easier and more fun working with a wonderful couple and audience who were very accommodating and easily moved with the flow. English and Akan (Twi) carried the day, but not without "As-Salaam-Alaikum" in my opening sentence. 😉
The beautiful thing about the reception was that, it had all the features of a standard wedding reception with a fusion of Islamic wedding traditions such as the frequent change of outfits accompanied by several dance moments by the couple. It was a learning experience for me; there was a lot of merrymaking and the sudden change in whether did not deter the couple, the guests and myself from turning up.
At the end of the day, it was very clear that indeed I had been put to a test, but I passed and resolved that I have not met my greatest challenge yet. By Grace, I get better everyday!

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 15 — Standard Chartered foresees a steady but lacklustre growth for Malaysia in 2020 with the country's gross domestic product is projected at 4.5 per cent similar to 2019 while the ringgit to trade at 4-4.1 against the US dollar from 4.1-4.2 last year.
It's Asean and South Asia Global Research chief economist Edward Lee said consumption should remain as the main growth driver, even though the pace of spending may ease due to the high base effect factor.
"The labour market remains healthy although there are some early signs of softening," he told reporters at a research briefing here today.
Asked if the country needs to move away from domestic consumption as one of the growth drivers, Lee said it is not only Malaysia but it should be a concern at the global level.
On the current trade truce between the United States and China, he replied the market would still be in a cautious mode despite the positive development.
" with the trade truce, we foresee investment to come back to Malaysia and we will be on track for the fiscal position," he said, adding that the government is still on fiscal consolidation trajectory, which explained the lack of spending seen.
Nevertheless, the investment may recover slightly in 2020, amid de-escalation in the trade war and the resumption of public infrastructure projects.
Stanchart, according to him, expects Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) to keep its key interest rate on hold in 2020 but see a risk of a 25 basis points rate cut.
"Despite an expected rise in inflation (albeit still benign) in 2020, the central bank is likely to maintain its focus on growth, which has been slowing on a sequential basis since the fourth quarter 2018.
"We expect BNM to adopt a wait-and-see stance for now. The external sentiment is expected to pick up, while domestic consumption has held up. The resumption of large infrastructure projects should also support investment activity," he said. — Bernama

Danieli Corus completes 37th blast furnace recovery
Tata Steel Kalinganagar furnace back in operation after hearth chill
As a consequence of problems in auxiliary plant areas as well as disrupted hot-metal logistics caused by a torpedo car derailment, process irregularities escalated at Tata Steel Kalinganagar blast furnace #1 and put the hearth into a "chilled" condition, immediately stopping production.
The Kalinganagar works relies on a single blast furnace for the full supply of hot metal to downstream operations, and immediate action was required.
A team consisting of Danieli Corus experts and senior operational staff from the Tata Steel site in IJmuiden travelled to India to implement the best-in-market recovery practices. It is based on applying oxy–fuel lance technology in combination with highly-specialized operational expertise.
After 16 hours of drilling, lances could be inserted and ignited in order to restore the connection between the tapholes and tuyere level that is required for restarting production. After 95 hours, sufficient heat had been introduced into the furnace hearth to allow for reconnection to the hot blast system, marking the restart of the reduction process. On the fourth day, the first cast was made and nine days into the recovery project 60% of the tuyeres had been reopened. Within two weeks after the first cast, hot metal quality was within specification for processing at the BOF plant.
This recovery project is the 37th completed by Danieli Corus, confirming the undisputed leadership in blast furnace operational services.
Danieli Corus offers a comprehensive portfolio of services for blast furnace operations.

An art display at Durham's light festival over the weekend used the power of people dancing to change the colours to the beat.
The lights on the dancefloor-style exhibit, called "LED's DANCE" by Polish artist Dorota Kraft, became more intense and "dynamic" in response to people moving over it.
The piece was part of the LUMIERE 2011 festival which also featured an art exhibit made out of hundreds of recycled milk bottles, drainpipes and carrier bags lit up by 4,000 LEDs.

Recent reviews
Good 7.6 From 22 reviews
Needs to be cleaned and updated. Shower doesn't get hot. Not good.
Fidel and Lillian were wonderful and were very helpful. The location was great, very near to the Termini Station, although hard to find initially. There was a really nice local restaurant nearby, which were visited twice. The room was ok, and I liked having a refrigerator. The wifi wasn't great, however. The air conditioning needed some directions as it seemed either very humid or very cold. The toilet seat was loose and moved quite a bit, and the shower door was often off of the its hinges, causing water to go all over the floor. The light over the sink didn't work either. Overall, I would stay there again, but with just a few adjustments, it would be a great place to stay.

* President-elect Humala to be sworn in July 28
* Brother's Russia scandal hurts Humala's popularity
LIMA, July 17 (Reuters) - Peru's President-elect Ollanta Humala has taken a hard fall in popularity after suspending his brother from his political coalition over ethics concerns, according to an Ipsos Apoyo poll published on Sunday.
His rating plummeted 29 points to 41 percent just days before his July 28 inauguration, according to the survey, which appeared in El Comercio newspaper. The previous Ipsos Apoyo poll, which came out on June 19, had Humala at 70 percent.
Earlier this month Humala cut political ties with his brother, Alexis Humala, after he flew to Russia to meet with Gazprom executives about investing in Peru's gas fields.
Local newspapers said the July 5 meeting reeked of nepotism after communiques by Gazprom and Russia's foreign ministry said Alexis Humala was sent as a "special representative" of the president-elect.
But the president-elect, who campaigned as an anti-corruption crusader, said his brother went to Moscow without his knowledge to angle for business with the world's largest natural gas company, state-controlled Gazprom.
"The scandal over Alexis' trip to Moscow has cost Ollanta Humala a fall of 29 points in his approval rating," Ipsos Apoyo director Alfredo Torres told El Comercio.
The poll had a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points in the capital Lima and 2.8 percent in other areas of the country.
Alexis Humala attended a university in Russia and lived there for many years.
President-elect Humala, a leftist who has promised to govern as a moderate, has not announced who will serve in key cabinet positions. This, according to analysts, is another negative factor that has been pressuring his rating. (Reporting by Patricia Velez, writing by Hugh Bronstein; Editing by Christopher Wilson)

Once again I'm sorta brain dead (from work of course) and don't really have much to say. I have a couple new items I've bought and I'm ready for my hair appointment NOW even though it's next week.
Last Friday: Yesstyle linen top, Grana jeans, Jil Sander shoes.
Monday: Ann Demeulemeeser top, Uniqlo pant, Dries Van Noten shoes.
The shoes are new and I got them from TRR on final sale. I fell in love with the ombre look of them and had been stalking them for a while. As soon as I got them I panicked because I thought they'd be too small, but they fit a bit better than expected. The toe box area is fine but the mid section and heel were tight. So I ordered some shoe stretchers and they helped tremendously. I'm completely amazed at how much more comfortable the shoes are now. I don't know what kind of leather they are, but they do wrinkle up quite a bit. I'm not bothered by that and figure with time it'll add some charm to them.
Tuesday: Everlane top, YY pant, Lems shoes.
This outfit was very comfortable and I thought I looked rather good in it – with the exception of the shoes. I was stretching out my other shoes more and it was raining all day so I didn't want to wear my EF mules. The photo I don't think is doing this outfit any justice at all. Also, Yuki looks a little mental.
Wednesday: old black top, Yohji Yamamoto skirt, Dries Van Noten shoes.
I'm still astonished I got this skirt for $33 on TRR. I looked it over several times when it arrived, thinking it surely had to be a fake, but no, it's the real deal. The token wool fabric, which is exactly like the pant in the photo above, the flawless stitching, the tags fully intact… Holy crap, did I really just get a YY item for only $33? This was another final sale item and I was apprehensive about it because it's a size 3, which is technically "big" but I've found I need to size up in the more fitted clothes he makes. This is a perfect example of the designer size not meaning fuck-all. What it boils down to is knowing your own size backwards and forwards in inches and centimeters. The sizing in inches was indicated so I decided to take a gamble on it and it fits perfectly.
I love the length. There is a slit in the front that comes up almost to my knees. It is a little tight for walking, but not annoyingly so. In fact, I was rather glad the skirt was making me walk slower on my breaks today. I was kinda worried the flaps on the waist would look clownish, but I think they are the best detail of all now. There is some fraying at the seams on the flaps, but they don't look so distorted to make the skirt seem dumpy or overly used. I can easily see myself wearing this skirt with tights and a big sweater in cooler weather.
YY has turned me into a skirt fan. I've never really liked skirts before and I still shy away from any skirt that's knee length or above. I have my eyes on a wool CdG skirt that is big and fluffy and looks perfect for layering in winter weather. I've noticed that YY skirts are more fitted for straight styled silhouettes and Morticia Addams-esque in their design, which I love. Most CdG skirts are bulbous and fluffy looking. I didn't think I'd like that, but I'm willing to experiment with that kind of silhouette simply because they look comfortable.

Both locals, our sister local CUPE 3903 at York University (Toronto), and CUPE local 2424, support staff at Carleton University (Ottawa), have commenced strike action on Monday, March 5th. Both university employers remain ill responsive to workplace issues that matter to front line university workers. Members of CUPE 2424 took on a single issue – to retain their pension plan. The TAs, instructors, and graduate assistants at YorkU are battling intransigent employer yet again.
We are calling on members, who want to show their support for either of the two striking locals, to contact the union.
We can arrange for transportation and other logistics and send a 'flying picket' to show solidarity and to learn about the issues they are on the line for. Their conditions are not fundamentally different from ours!

Black Gold Coffee Roasters Editor's Pick
Coffeemaniac Gary Lauters travels the world selecting beans. He roasts them in his Venice warehouse/shop on a machine from San Francisco, which is on display along with big bags of beans. He also works with local businesses from bakeries to breweries to craft coffee-flavored products. Lauters has concocted a menu that includes coffee, red eyes (espresso and coffee), lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, blended drinks and cold brew that's been dubbed "liquid crack": not only is it strong, but when combined with vanilla and cream, sweet and delicious. There are even seasonal "cracks"—the Irish Crack is made with Irish cream and hazelnut; the Island Crack, coconut and cream; and the Winter Crack, peppermint and cream. Nice pastries, breakfast items, sandwiches and salads available, too.

Phospho-c-Abl (Thr735) Antibody detects endogenous levels of c-Abl or Bcr-Abl only when phosphorylated at threonine 735. The antibody does not cross-react with other related proteins.
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr735 of human c-Abl. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
The c-Abl proto-oncogene encodes a nonreceptor protein tyrosine kinase that is ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved in metazoan evolution. c-Abl protein is distributed in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of cells. It is implicated in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell adhesion, and stress responses (1-3). c-Abl kinase activity is increased in vivo by diverse physiological stimuli including integrin activation; PDGF stimulation; and binding to c-Jun, Nck, and RFX1 (2,4). The in vivo mechanism for regulation of c-Abl kinase activity is not completely understood. Tyr245 is located in the linker region between the SH2 and catalytic domains. This positioning is conserved among Abl family members. Phosphorylation at Tyr245 is involved in the activation of c-Abl kinase (5). In addition, phosphorylation at Tyr412, which is located in the kinase activation loop of c-Abl, is required for kinase activity (6).
Thr735 is located within a conserved 14-3-3 protein binding motif region, and can be phosphorylated upon stress stimulation or TPA treatment. Phosphorylation at Thr735 may play an important role in regulating c-Abl localization as well as its function.

text: This chimney was falling apart and had to be reconstructed. Removing the old chimney was difficult because a 'new' chimney had been built over the original chimney, and the flues were rickety and improperly installed. We had to use a drill to weaken the old bricks and mortar and a concrete saw to break it apart. Taking it down piece by piece and bringing materials to the roof were a challenge we met with scaffolding and ladders. Cold temperatures made the mortar set slowly, so we had to heat it up to speed the process a bit.

Harry and William deny 'offensive' bullying claims
The Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge have denied "false" claims that their relationship was damaged by bullying.
A statement by Prince Harry and William described a newspaper story as "inflammatory" and "offensive".
The Times quoted a source saying the Sussexes felt they had been pushed out and "constantly bullied" by William.
A meeting of the brothers, the Queen and the Prince of Wales to discuss Harry and Meghan's future has begun.
The couple wants to step back as senior members of the Royal Family, while also becoming financially independent.
A statement on behalf of Harry and William said: "Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge.
"For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful."
The Times declined to comment on the princes' statement, but the paper acknowledged in its report that claims of bullying were strongly contested by other sources close to the Cambridges and Harry.
In October, Harry responded to speculation about a rift between the brothers by saying the pair were "on different paths at the moment" but he loved William "dearly".
Dan Wootton, the executive editor of the Sun which broke the news of Prince Harry and Meghan's decision to step back, said: "It is quite extraordinary that at a time when Prince William and Prince Harry are having so much warfare behind the scenes that they have come together to issue this joint statement."
He told the BBC that while he would not use the word "bullying", Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship has become "incredibly strained over the past 18 months", and that has played "a big part" in the disruption the Royal Family is experiencing.
Robert Hardman, royal biographer and Daily Mail journalist, said: "it shows the depth of the bond between those two brothers" that they responded to this allegation so quickly, and it demonstrates the desire to "avoid any sense of confrontation" at the meeting.
These talks have been described as "royal history in the making", by BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond.
Meghan is expected to join the discussion by phone from Canada.
It is hoped the talks will produce a "next step" on the way to defining the couple's new relationship with the Royal Family – in line with the Queen's wish to find a solution within days.
However, our correspondent said a deal "might take time" to be agreed and implemented.
Among the issues likely to be discussed are what funding the duke and duchess will receive, whether they will keep their titles and what royal duties they will continue to carry out.
The group is expected to review a range of possibilities for the Sussexes, taking into account plans outlined by the couple.
The final arrangement could provide a blueprint for future royal generations, including the Duke of Cambridge's younger children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Monday's gathering at the Queen's estate in Norfolk – being described as the "Sandringham summit" – is the first time the monarch has spoken face-to-face with Prince Harry since the Sussexes' announcement.
Prince Charles has returned from Oman after attending a condolence ceremony following the death of Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said.
Newspaper reports suggested the couple could conduct a potentially damaging television interview if they were unhappy with the outcome of the discussions.
Broadcaster and friend of the couple, Tom Bradby – who made a documentary with them last year – wrote in the Sunday Times: "I have some idea of what might be aired in a full, no-holds-barred, sit-down interview and I don't think it would be pretty."

Composition of Spent Fuel
The fuel in modern nuclear power plants is enriched to 3-5% U-235 (which is the isotope that undergoes fission). Therefore we might expect that spent fuel contains roughly 3-5% fission products. It is a bit more complicated than this which I will go into in this blog. Despite the small percentage of fission products in the spent fuel they create a massive increase in the radioactivity with spent fuel being over a million times more radioactive than fresh fuel1.
Direct Fission Products
Every fission event products two fission products (occasionally three – I may go into that in a future post). For the moment let us just concentrate on the fission of U-235 – the data I have used is from http://www.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=AD0659980 and I have put it into an Excel spreadsheet available here.
The split is on average roughly a 40:60 split in terms of atomic mass (see figure 1). Note that this graph is often shown with a logarithmic y-scale (as shown in Very Heavy Atoms – Fission). The different atomic masses contain various isotopes of different elements.
Figure 2 shows the yield of different element. Note that nuclei with an even number of protons are slightly more stable than those with an odd number and hence the alternating difference in yield.
Overall 776 different isotopes are shown in this data.
So the fission process produces a bit of a mess with different isotopes of various elements – but it gets worse.
Decay of Fission Products
Many of the fission products are not stable and undergo radioactive decay (see Decay Chains). The products of the radioactive decay may not be stable and they themselves undergo radioactive decay. Therefore an even wider range of elements and isotopes are formed.
Neutron Capture
Some of the fuel can undergo neutron capture. For example U-238 can undergo neutron capture to produce U-239 which decays to form Np-239 which then decays to form Pu-239.
Pu-239 – plutonium-239 is fissile and can undergo fission in a similar fashion to U-235. So some of the non-fissile U-238 is turned into fissile -Pu239. (e– is a beta particle – an electron and is a neutrino – dont' worry about these since they interact very weakly with matter).
So some of the energy produced in a standard nuclear reactor is from this plutonium. The 'breeding' of plutonium from U-238 can be enhanced in a 'fast breeder reactor'.
However some of the fission products can also undergo neutron capture. Such fission products 'poison' the nuclear reactor since they remove neutrons that are needed for fission without producing any fissile isotopes.
An important example is Xe-135 which is produced by the radioactive decay of the fission product I-135:
The build up of such 'poisons' in the fuel is the reason why the fuel is removed from the reactor before all the U-235 (and Pu-239) is used up.
So overall you can see that spent fuel is a complete mess which is one of the reasons why it presents such a problem for disposal.
1. Spent fuel has an activity of about 1×1017 Bq/TU (see http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/16603) while U-238 has an activity of about 1.24×1011Bq (see Radioactivity of U-238)

Whidbey was a great experience for all who attended. Maris and I left our ponies at home and just went to coach, which was a nice change of pace. All of our riders rode incredibly well and clearly learned from their mistakes at Inavale. Hannah McNamara ended the weekend first in Novice on Loughnatousa Dublin! He is a new horse to their family and we are more and more thrilled with how he does his job. Hannah also came in 5th on PL's Lucky Regina, which she was just as happy about, as she has put in a lot of hard work on that mare. Lilli Thiel ended 9th on Java, with a very respectable dressage test and double clear rounds for both SJ and XC. Braiden Ludtka rode well in the Novice division on Chance, and besides him locking onto the Training option and missing his intended Novice fence, they both had a wonderful show. Joanna Frazier completed her first Novice event on Truly Cruisin', making the SJ and XC look effortless for the both of them. 🙂 Finally, Sarah Pazkill completed her first recognized event on Nautical Ridge. In a large class with professionals mixed in, they held their own with a beautiful dressage test and two clean rounds!
Both Maris and I have taken the last week off to recoup from Whidbey before gearing up for Next Phase Eventing Camp. We are more than thrilled to be holding camp at Aspen Farms this year. While we loved Elk Haven and will miss our time there, many of our regular campers were ready for a new challenge. I know Aspen will not let anyone down with all that it has to offer! We have 37 campers coming this year and unfortunately had to leave a handful of people on the waitlist. We wish we could have accommodated more campers but neither Maris or I had the space in our summer to hold another camp.
We are also in the midst of prepping for our first Next Phase Eventing Derby! The derby will be held at Two Mountains Farm on August 5th. We will be running divisions from Grasshopper – Training with schooling rounds mixed in. We will be using some of the portables we purchased from Camas Meadows about 10 years ago and will be mixing them in with some of our own XC fences and show jumps. Cascade Reins Pony Club will be running concessions, so it is bound to be a fun day.
Will give you all an update after camp and let you know how our derby course is looking!!!

The five fighters were scrambled not toward their targets, already hundreds of miles distant. Instead, they were sent out over ocean on complicated and apparently confused flight plans. Otis pilot Duff said they departed on a "2-8-0 heading - basically towards New York City." [1] But the route recorded by Paul Thompson in his Terror Timeline book shows a path south over the ocean instead of west-southwest along the coast.
The Langley fighters were sent due east, over the ocean, instead of north-northwest to the Pentagon. The 9/11 Commission concluded in their final report. "unlike a normal scramble order, this order did not include a distance to the target, or the target's location." [2] Confused orders and/or noise restrictions over land have also been cited as reasons for this easterly flight. In July 2004, Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN) issued a rare criticism of NORAD, whose massive failures "left this country defenseless during two of the worst hours in our history." Dayton noted that when 77 hit, the Langley fighters were still far to the east, "farther [from the Pentagon] than they were before they took off." [3]
The speed of the fighters once airborne is impossible to gauge unless we see the path actually flown in a given time. They were both sent the wrong direction at first, so we know they didn't take the shortest, straight-line routes, and exact information on this is incomplete, perhaps top-secret. So a reconstruction seems incredibly tedious and uncertain.
But even in accounts that cite or imply actual speeds we see serious disagreements. Jere Longman, in his book Among the Heroes, explained that the Langley pilots "were sent east over the Atlantic Ocean, and then north up the coast They likely reached six hundred miles an hour in a couple of minutes." [4] Major General Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard, said with no embarrassment that the pilots flew "like a scalded ape," topping 500 mph. [5] Literally, there are cars that have driven faster than that.
An important factor to consider, as widely noted by defense apologists, is that supersonic flights on intercepts over the continental U.S. were banned by the Environmental Protection Agency, sonic booms being considered noise pollution. But an aircraft must travel at least 750 miles per hour for a sonic boom to be heard on the ground. So why were they reported to be going 150-250 mph slower than supersonic – even though they were over the ocean instead of over land? And why was this EPA regulation allowed to interfere with the defense on 9/11 instead of being ignored like all the others?
To hear the Otis pilots speak, the rule was ignored. Duff said clearly to the BBC "I was supersonic." [6] Aviation week described Duff and Nasty as "flying supersonically." On another occasion, he said "it just seemed wrong. I just wanted to get there. I was in full-blower all the way." [7] An F-15, like the one he was flying, can travel a top (full-blower) speed of 1,875 mph (compared to a 767's top speed of just under 600mph). An F-16 (like those sent from Langley) can top out at 1500 mph. Clearly somebody isn't telling the truth here.
Scrambled sooner, sent the right direction, and allowed to floor it, these fighters may well have made a difference – yet the prime worry, apparently, was avoiding an EPA speeding ticket.

In February 2006 Hans Rosling—a relatively unknown professor of international health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute—stepped on to a stage in Monterey, California, to address some of the most influential people in the world. The event was the annual TED (technology, entertainment, design) conference, and Rosling's talk was entitled "Debunking third world myths with the best stats you've ever seen."1
Wearing a brown pullover and yellowish rust coloured corduroy trousers, Rosling, in his opening remarks, quipped: "I have shown that Swedish top students know statistically significantly less about the world than the chimpanzees." The audience, of course, chuckled. After a few more jokes Rosling proceeded to outline his "fact based view of the world," which he had designed to dispel what he felt were common misconceptions about global population growth and development. His tools were wry humour, stunning movable visual graphs, and—most of all—statistical facts, facts, and more facts.
Rosling described as anachronistic the belief that the world was divided in two halves between developed and developing nations, a topic he had written about as early as 1993.2 He contended that between the top income nations of the developed world and the impoverished and suffering developing world, there was a much larger group of middle income nations, such as Turkey and nations in Asia, where health and other measures of human progress are improving more rapidly than in western Europe. He felt strongly that global health policies should be adjusted accordingly.

Our AlertFind team recently created a very helpful active shooter assessment tool for businesses. Whether or not you use our AlertFind emergency notification system today, any company can benefit from this valuable exercise, which will help you think about how best to protect your offices against such an attack.
With 20-year law enforcement veteran Jason Bryant, we put together the free tool to provide evidence-based, concrete recommendations that can help HR and risk management teams protect employees. No one can predict where an active shooter will strike next, and the sad truth is that business locations have been the site of nearly half of these events over the past 15 years. Yet most companies have no formal plan for the first three minutes of an attack — the average amount of time it takes law enforcement to arrive on the scene.
"Creating a plan, implementing recommended procedures and practicing them with employees are the best ways companies can ready their workforce for the stress and panic of an attack. Tools like the AMS AlertFind assessment provide a framework that can help businesses increase their employees' chance of survival during an active shooter event."
For instance, the framework includes tips on how to control your entrances and identify interior shelters, as well as implement physical improvements to office spaces. It also explains why it is so critical to adopt a notification system and have an active shooter preparedness plan and trainings in place, so employees know what to do if the worst happens.
I encourage anyone interested in learning more to check out our many useful active shooter preparedness resources at https://alertfind.com/activeshooter/.

Notes: If making ahead, cover cool rolls airtight and let stand at room temperature up to 1 day; freeze to store up to 6 weeks. Warm, uncovered, on baking sheets in a 325° oven for about 10 minutes.
How to Make It
In a bowl, sprinkle yeast over 1 1/4 cups warm (about 110°) water; let stand until yeast is soft, about 5 minutes. Add salt, sugar, 3 cups flour, and butter. Stir, then beat with a spoon until well mixed.
To knead with a dough hook, beat on medium speed until dough is no longer sticky when touched and pulls cleanly from sides of bowl, 3 to 4 minutes; if sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
To knead by hand, scrape onto a floured board and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 6 minutes, adding more flour as required to prevent sticking. Return dough to bowl.
Cover dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Uncover and beat with dough hook, or scrape dough onto a floured board and knead, to expel air.
With oiled hands, pinch dough into 24 equal balls (about 2 in. wide) and shape each into a smooth round. Set balls, smooth side up and about 2 inches apart, on 2 buttered baking sheets (14 by 17 in.). Cover balls lightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until slightly puffy, 15 to 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat egg to blend. Brush egg over tops and sides of rolls as each pan is ready to bake.
Bake in a 400° oven until rolls are well browned, 10 to 15 minutes; if using 1 oven, switch pan positions after 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to racks; serve warm or cool.
Nutritional analysis per roll.

Weather Blog: 4th of July forecast and a big warm-up looming
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! No fireworks from Mother Nature this holiday weekend. That means a dry forecast continues through at least Monday. In Today's blog we look at the 4th of July forecast and breakdown the heat and humidity looming for the shortened work week.
Let's start with a suntastic sunrise in Sheboygan Sunday morning. I captured this image off our Blue Harbor Resort camera. The wispy high clouds added a nice touch to the sunrise. If you have a photo to share feel free to tweet it to me @jnelsonweather or email it to email@example.com
Today delivers highs in the 70s and partly to mostly sunny skies. A lake breeze will keep lakeshore locations a few degrees cooler. By evening, temperatures dip to the 60s. If you are headed to the U.S. Bank fireworks show you may want to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket.
The 4th of July forecast also includes highs in the 70s. That is slightly below our average high of 80° in Milwaukee. Right now Memorial Day is shaping up to be warmer than July 4. Either way, I don't think there are many people complaining about the weather this weekend.
As the last piece of energy associated with a storm system travels to our south on Monday, another batch of clouds should clip our area. That may result in mostly cloudy skies to start the day. The RPM cloud forecast below shows the clouds sticking pretty close to the stateline.
If clouds push across our area, they should thin by mid-afternoon. Any parades or fireworks celebrations on Monday should enjoy dry weather.
Just as many return to work on Tuesday, heat and humidity start to build across the Midwest. High temperatures for most of the week climb to the mid to upper 80s. A sticky feel also returns, so a fan or A/C will come in handy.
The WPC surface forecast map below is valid Wednesday morning. This shows a warm front pushing through our area. As the warmer air arrives a few showers and thunderstorms are possible. Rain chances are highest this week on Wednesday and Thursday. No all day rains are expected, but scattered to isolated thunderstorms are possible.
Still a little early to pinpoint, but there may be a threat of strong storms. Something to keep an eye on for the middle part of the week.
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for additional updates follow me on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, & Periscope @jnelsonweather

Have a great day!

When you have a pet, we know keeping your carpets clean can be a struggle. Mud can easily be tracked in and sometimes accidents happen.
As your pets to shed their coats, the hair can gather on just about anything and even clog up your vacuum cleaner. Here are a few easy things you can do before vacuuming your home:
- Wrap an old broom, or mop, or paint roller in masking tape to act like a large lent roller.
- Even though you've soaked up as much of pet urine as possible, it is still important to clean the spot with a mild soap and water solution. You can also mix two parts water, one part white vinegar to keep your pet from urinating in the same areas.
- Powered odor eliminators can only mask the odors for so long. To help battle odors, sprinkle baking soda on your carpet before vacuuming.
- Older stains such as urine, blood or vomit can be tougher to remove from carpets. Which is where we come in.
As professional carpet cleaners we are able to remove the build-up in the carpet's fibers. Now is the perfect time to give us a call and get your carpets cleaned right before the holidays. We know how stressful this time of the year can be so why not make this easy on you.

Another Other
Jazz Ensemble
"Another Other" was written in 2009 by Neil Slater. Dur: 7:56 A great chart by the one of the premier jazz ensemble directors. Many years at The University of North Texas with the One O'Clock Lab Band.
The composer writes: " Brief Description: Up tempo, straight ahead feel. Soloists, tenor saxophone, flugelhorn, and drums.
Performance Notes: My concept of Another Other is to encourage a performance focusing on the linear interpretation and development of the thematic material. The sixteen bar introduction forecasts fragments of the principle melody played by the piano and guitar. This makes the introduction very important. Tenor saxophone and flugelhorn play the principle melody in unison from bar 17 to bar 44. During this section the tenor saxophones and guitar echo the melody, while the trombones establish a harmonic pad. Beginning at bar thirty-two, there is a quiet build up until the trumpets enter forcefully at bar forty-five, continuing until bar sixty-one. Trombones require careful balancing from bar sixty-five through bar sixty-nine, and the guitar should blend with the lead trombone. Bar seventy-two is a very loud send off for the tenor saxophone solo. Backgrounds should be played linearly, without over powering the soloist. Bar 102-109 is also very powerful while the tenor and flugelhorn are playing an improvised duet, which should also be strong and busy, while setting up a flugelhorn solo. The tenor saxophone gradually fades away for the flugelhorn solo. Again, backgrounds are melodic and should not overpower the soloist. The drum solo from measure 131-138 begins very strong and gradually gets much softer as the melody enters at measure 139. The entire band continues to build from the entire ensemble to measure 154, which is another strong improvised duet from the soloists, accompanied by drums set. There is a contrapuntal return to the melody, and the entire band gradually continues to build to a huge climax at bar 171. This is the loudest area of the entire chart. The last four bars are immediately very quiet, in tempo to the fermata. Last note is cued and held.
Remember that it is important that all soloists should be encouraged, even required, to construct their solos from the melodic content of the composition, and eliminate cliché licks.
Thanks for playing my chart, Neil
P.S Another Other is recorded by the One O' Clock Lab Band on Lab 2009."
