|Home :: Trade Leads By Country : Vietnam
Leaving apart the economy of this country which is in a quite sad shape but the tourism here in this country has been progressive and develping at a very fast rate as a result of the increasing inflow of international arrivals, the Vietnamese tourism industry has been enjoying strong growth in incoming tourism receipts. In current value terms, 2005 incoming tourism receipts grew 64% compared to 1999, and 6% compared to 2003. However, tourism expenditure per capita per trip increased slightly, by 4% over the review period, but decreased 8% compared to 2003. The tourists are flooding the country in thousands and thousands year after year and making tourism a success here.
Business and Economy
Vietnam is a poor, densely-populated country that has had to recover from the ravages of war, the loss of financial support from the old Soviet Bloc, and the rigidities of a centrally-planned economy.the war that took place in Vietnam has ruined all the opportunities that Vietnam could have turned into golden opportunities and would have encashed on the financial front trying to come out of its debts and liabilities. Substantial progress was achieved from 1986 to 1996 in moving forward from an extremely low starting point - growth averaged around 9% per year from 1993 to 1997.
Major Cities
The major cities in Vietnam are Bien Hoa,Ða Nâng,Hai Phong,Ha Noi,Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh.Ho chi Minh is the most famous city here that is known to al and the tourists who usually come here are very much interested in the city of Ho chi Minh first as it has a lot of history behind it that is quite interesting and worth enjoying.

For patients missing all of their natural teeth or those who need to have all of their teeth removed, there is an alternative to traditional dentures. Full-mouth dental implant treatment options open the way for individuals to once again enjoy a strong bite and beautiful smile.
If you are ready to consider a more permanent replacement for lost teeth, we are happy to work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. A couple of helpful options for you to consider are implant-supported bridges or dentures.
The prosthesis will provide you with strong and natural-looking teeth as regular dentures do, but has the added benefit of anchoring securely onto a few implants placed at key locations in the mouth.
Dental implants are integrated into the bone of your mouth and prevent resorption, which can occur with regular dentures. Full-mouth implants will enhance the shape of your face, restore strength to your bite, and give you a beautiful smile.
Additionally, implant-supported bridges and dentures tend to be easier to care for than traditional dentures.
How Do You Get Started?
A thorough exam will enable me to determine both where teeth should be located on a fixed denture as well as optimal locations for implant-placement. Once we draft the plan of action, the first step involves surgical placement of the implant abutments, or anchors. After a period of healing, the customized full-bridges or dentures will be delivered to you and secured over the abutments. The time needed for this process varies. Find out more information by asking our team about full-mouth dental implant therapy at your next visit.

Happy holidays! It's a common refrain, but for many people who have lost loved ones, gone through heartbreaks or are alone the holidays are not happy.
"There is this almost forced expectation in today's society that we have to be happy during the holidays," says Dr. Eugenio Rothe, professor of psychiatry and behavioral health at Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine. "And people who fail to meet that expectation can feel there is something wrong with them."
From postcard-perfect portraits of family togetherness to endless hours at the malls shopping for gifts, holiday demands are common triggers for the holiday blues, those feelings of sadness, loneliness, depression and stress around holiday time.
Here are a few survival tips.
Going home for the holidays can be wonderful, but what happens if there is conflict in the family? If a loved one has passed, or there's been a recent heartbreak; it also can be a sad and painful occasion. People who are alone for the holidays feel particularly left out.
SURVIVAL TIP: Manage your expectations. Do your own thing.
"The most important thing is to focus on your own reality: your needs, wishes, hopes and expectations," says Rothe. "Don't feel like you're lacking if you don't meet up to the fantasy images of holiday celebrations imposed by the media or society."
The pressure of buying gifts, throwing a party, and/or fixing-up the house for the holidays can be overwhelming.
SURVIVAL TIP: Don't get wrapped up in consumerism.
"If you want to buy someone a gift to show them you care for them, it doesn't have to be expensive. It truly is the thought that counts," says Rothe.
Shopping, gift wrapping, party planning, holiday commitments, visiting relatives, travel and overindulging (eating and drinking) can all cause holiday stress. Rothe calls this the holiday treadmill where instead of enjoying the holidays, people exhaust themselves.
SURVIVAL TIP: Don't overdo it. Remember the true spirit of the holidays.
"This is actually a good time for rest and self-reflection,'" says Rothe, who laments that the spiritual meaning of the holidays is often lost to the more commercial aspects of the season.
"This time of the year presents a wonderful opportunity to find important meanings that are relevant to your own life, and to the lives of those who are important to you," he says.

Also known as: liver failure, fulminant hepatic failure.
Acute liver failure is a rare condition in which the liver stops working quite rapidly, and often with no other previous liver problems being present. Due to the rapid failure of vital organs, the condition can cause a number of dangerous health complications.
Several factors can contribute to acute liver failure. These include the use or overuse of medications like acetaminophen and certain prescription drugs. Conditions such infections (hepatitis), immune dysfunction, metabolic diseases or toxins/drug related, or cancer can also cause acute liver failure.
Symptoms of acute liver failure can include nausea and vomiting, poor appetite, abdominal pain and swelling, confusion, malaise, sleepiness, jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and eyes, seizures and coma.
In certain cases, medications or diet may help to limit the damage done to the liver due to poisoning or drug overuse. Certain medications and therapies can also relieve the complications of acute liver failure, including reducing the risk of severe bleeding or relieving pressure on the brain. If the damage is severe, a liver transplant may be the only potential treatment.

Why are Python programs slow?
Python is very flexible and dynamic language, but the flexibility comes with a price.
Computer programs are nowadays practically always written in a high-level human readable programming language and then translated to the actual machine instructions that a processor understands. There are two main approaches for this translation:
- For compiled programming languages, the translation is done by a compiler before the execution of the program
- For interpreted languages, the translation is done by an interpreter during the execution of the program
Compiled languages are typically more efficient, but the behaviour of the program during runtime is more static than with interpreted languages. The compilation step can also be time consuming, so the software cannot always be tested as rapidly during development as with interpreted languages.
Python is an interpreted language, and many features that make development rapid with Python are a result of that, with the price of reduced performance in some cases.
Dynamic typing
Python is a very dynamic language. As variables get type only during the runtime as values (Python objects) are assigned to them, it is more difficult for the interpreter to optimize the execution (in comparison, a compiler can make extensive analysis and optimization before the execution). Even though, in recent years, there has been a lot of progress in just-in-time (JIT) compilation techniques that allow programs to be optimized at runtime, the inherent, very dynamic nature of the Python programming language remains one of its main performance bottlenecks.
Flexible data structures
The built-in data structures of Python, such as lists and dictionaries, are very flexible, but they are also very generic, which makes them not so well suited for extensive numerical computations. Actually, the implementation of the data structures (e.g. in the standard CPython interpreter) is often quite efficient when one needs to process different types of data. However, when one is processing only a single type of data, for example only floating point numbers, there is a lot of unnecessary overhead due to the generic nature of these data structures.
The performance of a single CPU core has stagnated over the last ten years, and as such most of the speed-up in modern CPUs is coming from using multiple CPU cores, i.e. parallel processing. Parallel processing is normally based either on multiple threads or multiple processes. Unfortunately, the memory management of the standard CPython interpreter is not thread-safe, and it uses something called Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) to safeguard memory integrity. In practice, this limits the benefits of multiple threads only to some special situations (e.g. I/O). Fortunately, parallel processing with multiple processes is relatively straightforward also with Python.
In summary, the flexibility and dynamic nature of Python, that enhances the programmer productivity greatly, is also the main cause for the performance problems. Flexibility comes with a price! Fortunately, as we discuss in the course, many of the bottlenecks can be circumvented.

Review: Nile Rogers & Chic – Waterfront Hall, Belfast
Good times. I mean, I suppose you wouldn't write it in a song if you didn't know how to deliver. And Nile Rodgers & CHIC know how to deliver, alright.
The musical legend and his accomplished backing band took to the stage at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on Tuesday night. Performing to a sold-out crowd, many of whom had returned with glee after witnessing 2014's Custom House Square performance.
By the time Nile Rodgers stepped onto the stage, his crowd were already nice and warmed up by a pre-show DJ who dug deep into CHIC era-heavy hitters. A perfect starter for a crowd who didn't seem too worried that it was a school night.
The six-strong backing band assembled into their places, Nile taking centre stage, flanked either side by the striking presence of immensely talented lead vocalists Kimberly Davis and Folami.
Starting proceedings as they mean to continue the band slowly teased into 'Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)' which built and flowed into the rapturous 'Everybody Dance'. It was pretty clear what the audience was supposed to be doing at this point, and to be honest, I don't think you could have stopped them if you tried.
There was a wealth of talented musicianship on the stage this evening. However, it was only felt to its truest extent when the horn section was brought to the front of the stage for 'I Want Your Love's and 'Lost In Music's solo sections. Elsewhere you can see the talent but there's a punch lacking that comes down to sound alone. I long to feel the groovy slap of Jerry Barnes' bass or the crashing percussive breakdowns delivered by Ralph Rolle. But alas although tonight it wasn't quite perfect – it was pretty damn close.
Nile Rodgers is gracious and warm throughout, a warmth that shines through any sound imperfections and lights up the room to no end. As stated by the man himself, tonight is a journey through "A life in song" – and what a life it is.
Delighting the crowd with a selection of the wondrous work he has given to the world, the band delivered renditions of Dianna Ross' 'I'm Coming Out' and 'Upside Down'. Continuing through the Nile Rogers hall of fame, we received a sparkling cover of Sister Sledge's 'Greatest Dancer'. Followed closely by a crowd uniting 'We are Family'. During the breakdown, vocalist Kimberly Davis gives such an astonishing vocal run that even Nile Rogers was on one knee bowing down to her dusky tones.
More fun filled classics came in the form of a Madonna double whammy: 'Material Girl' and 'Like a Virgin' from 1984's album of the same name. Then suddenly the atmosphere in the room changed, the lights dimmed, and Nile lit with a single spotlight.
Sombrely he retold the heart wrenching, but darkly positive tale of his cancer diagnosis. It's clear to see the passion that has driven the man to create so much music throughout his life. Faced with his own mortality, Nile Rogers told his adoring fans of his decision to "write more music than I ever have, record more music than I ever have, and perform more than I ever have". A huge smile broke gleefully across his face and he declared, "I stand here today, cancer free."
Slowly breaking the triumphant tension, the band are reintroduced with a down-tempo arrangement of a beautifully fitting song. "Get Lucky" from Nile's 2013 collaboration with electronic giants Daft Punk. It's not long before they kick that tempo back into double time, however, and the song's true form takes control of the room.
It's was an emotional night, one of joy, sadness and immense positivity from a man, and a band, who have meant a lot to so many. A collage of Nile Rogers' career moves across the screen littered with familiar faces, one being that of the late, great David Bowie. It is followed by a homage to the man himself, 'Let's Dance'.
The band finish what has been a star-studded set list with "a little more crazy than usual" version of CHIC classic 'Freak Out' and close on a perfect number, 'Good Times'.
Damn, that was fun.

NVIDIA RTX 3080 VS RTX 2080 Ti
The big announcement from NVIDIA was long-awaited not only by the gamer community. Filmmakers were also intrigued by the possibilities new generation GPUs could bring them. Finally the day had come. Let's dig into the goodies it has brought.
New CPUs and GPUs. How is the speed?
It has been a while since we posted a series of articles about best hardware for Neat Video noise reduction and for video editing in general. Since then AMD, Intel and NVIDIA have released a number...
4 Factors when Choosing a GPU for Faster Digital Noise Reduction
GPU card is one of the simplest components to replace in your computer. Often it's a case of simply removing the old GPU card and slotting in a new, more powerful one. However, there are many GPUs to choose from and some are more equipped for the task of noise reduction than others.
5 Factors when Choosing a CPU for Faster Video Noise Reduction
High quality noise reduction is a complex task that is very computationally intensive. Millions of calculations are performed every second and the speed you experience when you use Neat Video depends on key parts of your system working together. For this reason, if you want faster render times and export times with less lag, you should select your hardware very carefully.

As "helping professionals," those who choose careers in social work and human services are motivated by a desire to improve the lives of people in need. They work in similar settings, such as home health agencies; hospitals; health clinics; various social services agencies at the community, city, and state levels; the criminal justice system; and even private practices.
A typical work day for a social worker involves working face-to-face with clients on their biggest problems, diligently finding solutions, and making sure their clients receive vital assistance quickly. Common ongoing challenges include serious concerns like:
Graduation from an MSW program that has been accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is necessary for licensure as a social worker in most states. CSWE accreditation indicates the high level of quality within a degree program and its graduates are equipped with advanced skills that can help clients in need enjoy more stability and safety in their daily lives.
Social workers help their clients in two key ways:
Direct Service Social Workers—These professionals understand the array of social services available, from local, county, state, and federal agencies to religious and private nonprofits. They are able to interview clients, assess their needs, and develop an action plan for connecting them with vital financial, social, healthcare, and mental health services.
Clinical Social Workers—With additional on-site training after completing their master's degree in social work, clinical social workers can function as counselors, helping clients deal with their emotions, develop coping strategies, and adapt to their environment more effectively.
With specialized Master of Social Work elective clusters, students in online degree programs can focus on particular interests like addiction; children, families, and couples; crisis and trauma; and other areas of personal and professional interest.
Employment of social workers is projected to grow 16% from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all professions. The median annual wage was $47,980 in May 2017, and the top 10% earned more than $79,740.*
With an online master's degree in human services, graduates have the knowledge to work at the program level of social and human services agencies and function as change agents for improved services. Human services professionals function as program managers, administrators, and directors. Their responsibilities include:
With MS in Human and Social Services degree specializations, students can focus on areas like criminal justice; military families and culture; disaster, crisis and intervention; gerontology, and other subjects of interest.
There is a growing global need for those with doctoral degrees in human services. These professionals direct needed resources to vulnerable, underserved populations around the world. A PhD in Human and Social Services prepares professionals to be agents of positive change, implementing effective policies and practices at the highest level.
Employment of human and social services professionals is projected to grow 18% from 2016 to 2026, much faster than average for all professionals. The median annual wage was $64,100 in May 2017, and the top 10% earned more than $109,990.*
Whether you choose a social work degree or a human services degree, you can look forward to a rewarding career—and making a real difference in helping to improve the lives of others.
Explore Walden University's online social work and human services degree programs to launch, advance, or change the direction of your career. Earn your graduate degree in a convenient online format that fits your busy life.

3) Brandobay Stainless Steel Tomato Slicer Knives Set
I refuse to cut tomatoes with knives that don't have "TOMATO" not written on the blade! Ok, I don't do that, but, I really should be doing it. A tomato deserves to be cut by a knife with its name on it.
Do you have a tomato knife? Know someone who would like these knives?

(Ok, it might not have been a compliment because I was told that I look like a hot tomato when I am angry! But, I took it as a compliment!!)
Know someone who is a "Hot Tomato"? Give them this gag gift and watch their face light up!
6) Gresorth 6pcs Artificial Lifelike Simulation Red Tomato Fake Fruit Home Decoration
Picture a bowl of real tomatoes that you have sitting on your kitchen counter. They are all real, except for one! Or two? The chef in your family goes to take a tomato and slice into it.
Instead of getting delicious slices of tomatoes from slicing into it, the chef sees a whole bunch of cotton stuffing flying out of the "fakemato"!
How is that for a gag gift?

Ever throw a tomato at a wall? What happens?
It stains the wall or the fridge or the clothes of the person you threw it at! Why would you waste a perfectly good tomato!

9) Unisex Gardening Is Cheaper Than Therapy And You Get Tomatoes Kitchen Aprons
There are so many tomato aprons on Amazon, but, none of them are as good as this one. I love the idea of growing my own tomatoes. Tomatoes and cooking have been therapeutic for me, hence the healing tomato name. Creating this blog has been much more fruitful than any therapy.
So, if you are looking for a creative outlet, grow a tomato and wear it on your apron!
10) Hooded Blanket
A hooded blanket with salad and tomatoes?? Sign me up! I love LOVE this idea and the blanket looks so comforting. I have to agree that it looks awful, but, its warm and useful.
Seriously, try it before you knock it.

So, go ahead and give it a huge squeeze!!

1 James i, 13, 14.
Let no man say, when he is tempted, I am
tempted of God; – for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth be any man: but every man is tempted, when be is drawn away of bis own lust, and enticed.
It happens, I believe not unfrequently, that SERM. those who are guilty of any great degrees of wickedness, charge their guilt, either immediately or by implication, upon God; they either reflect on Providence, for hav
SERM. ing placed them in such situations and cir. XV.
cumstances, that to avoid sin was not in their power — or, for having given them such violent; and headstrong passions, that their reason was utterly unable to contend with them. To something, either'exter nal or internal, which it depended not on themselves to order otherwise, they would willingly impute their depravity. But this the apostle St. James, in the words which I have just read, tells us is very unjust, inasmuch as it is very untrue ; "Let no " man say, when he is tempted, I am ." tempted of God ;for God cannot be " tempted with eyil, neither tempteth he " any, man: but every man is tempted, " when he is drawn away of his own lust, "and enticed." Think not to excuse your
selves, when ye give way to temptations, .by attributing your fall to the Almighty; for as God cannot be tempted to commit evil himself, so neither certainly would
he be the instrument of exciting it in his SERM. creatures; but rather believe, what is evi- u n dently the case, that it is your own evil passions and desires, by which ye are led astray.
Here are two assertions - first, that God is not, cannot be, the author of our sins; secondly, that they arise from ourselves. Let us examine if this be not really the case.---That God is not the author of sin, St. James assigns this as a reason--it is impossible he should be tempted to evil himself, and therefore it is not credible he should be the cause of it in his creatures.Both the light of nature and the scriptures concur in representing the Almighty as a Being of infinite purity; he is the author of all that is right and good-he is, in himself, absolutely perfect-he has neither desires nor fears, and consequently cannot be tempted, for the gratification of the one, or, under the influence of the other, to a
SERM. deviation from the exact line of goodness :
also an ardent lover of it in his creatures;
sible ;-ye cannot but own it. But yet you SERM. will say, there seem to be several places, un in scripture, in which God is described (at least so it appears to you) as instigating or over-ruling men to the perpetration of wicked actions;-to this I reply-consider all those places carefully, and examine accurately who the persons are, whom you think God is described as leading to wickedness, and you will find that they are not good and virtuous persons, but persons already impious and depraved; so that God does not tempt them originally from righteousness; but, as a punishment for their having already deserted it, he gives them up to their own depravity. Consider the case of Pharaoh ; -- the Lord is often said to harden his heart to prevent his permitting the children of Israel to depart out of Egypt; but this was not before he had hardened his own heart, and it means therefore not that God infused

Multiscale-Multimodal Imaging of the Brain: Revealing Secrets Hiding in Plain Sight
Wednesday, July 25, 2018 11:00 - 12:00
Mark Ellisman (University of California San Diego, School of Medicine)
Mondi Seminar Room 2, Central Building
Life Sciences Seminar
Peter Jonas
KRALLI BELLER Eleftheria
A grand goal in brain research is to understand how the interplay of structural, chemical and electrical signals in and between neurons, glia and the vasculature give rise to normal and abnormal functioning of nervous systems. New technologies are hastening progress as biologists make use of an increasingly powerful arsenal of tools and technologies for obtaining data, from the level of molecules to whole organs. This talk will highlight projects in which development and application of new contrasting methods and imaging tools have allowed us to observe otherwise complex or hidden relationships between cellular, subcellular and molecular constituents of cells, particularly those comprising the brain. Prospects for enhancing our understanding of the complex physiology of multiscale systems by facilitating the application of multimodal imaging methods as well as the fusion of data obtained using multiple methods, will also be discussed.

The term HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol, it is a system for receiving as well as transmitting information across the web. Http functions as a response and request process that all agents on the web follow, so that the information can be swiftly, precisely, and easily published between the web servers, which keep the information, and consumers, who are trying to get it.
Http is usually used to access hypertext markup language pages (HTML); however, other resources could be used also, viHTTPtp. In different cases, people may be exchanging or sharing confidential data with a private server, which should be properly secured to avoid unauthorized access. Due to this, https are created by Netscape Communications, to permit authorization as well as the secured transactions.
HTTP and HTTPS
From multiple points of view, https is indistinguishable to HTTP, due to the fact that it follows the same standard protocols. The HTTPS or HTTP client; for example, a browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, and more), establish a connection with a server on a basic port. When a server gets a request, it mostly returns a status as well as a message containing the requested information. It might also get an indication of error if anything in the process fails to function normally. Both http and https use same URI scheme, to ensure the universal identification.

Despite our best efforts to care for our skin in a way that prevents signs of aging or acne, we can all make mistakes that can undo the good habits. It's important to understand some of the bad skin care habits that you can make so you can try to avoid them in the future.
1. You keep your makeup on when you're exercising or sleeping – it's most important to remove your makeup before bed because you need to give your pores time to breathe. You'll get blemishes if your skin never gets this opportunity. Exercising in your makeup isn't quite as detrimental, but if you can avoid it, do!
2. You never clean your makeup tools or check makeup expiry – when you're using your makeup tools daily, there is the potential for bacteria to form. If you continue to use the objects on your face, in time there may be negative implications for your skin. Makeup also has an expiry date and should be replaced once it's reached it whether you've used it all up or not.
3. You keep dirty objects close to your face – you may not realize that talking on your cell phone as much as you do could be bad for your skin. As you hold it up to your face, you're transferring oils and bacteria which will end up against your skin the next time you use the phone.
Eliminate these bad habits and you should find that the condition of your skin improves greatly. As another part of your positive skin care regimen, contact us and discuss other treatments and procedures that can keep you looking young and healthy.

The case of the UAE 94
The UAE 94 was an unfair, mass trial that took place in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2013. 94 activists had openly criticised the Emirati government and launched a petition for democratic reform, a dangerous act of political activism.
Widely criticised by international bodies, the UAE 94 trial was a watershed moment for repression in the UAE. Six years on, most of those convicted remain detained today in Abu Dhabi's notoriously repressive al-Razeen prison.

I spent a year and a half teaching Lily everything I could find out about pumping, control and so on..... And about 6 months to a year ago, something changed. Now she hardly ever talks to me about diabetes. She's off tonight with some friends at a play, last night she was out for pizza and study with another friend. Its MARVELOUS! she is independent and totaly comfortable with her diabetes and handling it herself. I have to say, I think she's better at it than many adults, she just does it! Fixes highs or lows as they come along as naturally as you or I would brush our hair or go to the bathroom. Do your best with Ravi and in a couple of years you will wonder what happened to the diabetes 'problem'. Michael

The Japan Food Machinery Manufacturers' Association has engaged in a variety of activities aimed at contributing to the development of the food machinery industry and improving the quality of people's lives. But our most important activity is the holding of FOOMA JAPAN (International Food Machinery & Technology Exhibition). FOOMA JAPAN 2016, the 39th since the first one was held in 1978, will be held for a four-day period from Tuesday, June 7, to Friday, June 10, 2016, at Tokyo Big Sight.
On the theme of "Updating Taste Technology," FOOMA JAPAN 2016 will present state-of-the-art products, technologies, and services that also maintain rigorous standards for food safety, with the aim of fostering the ongoing development of a wide range of food-related industrial fields.
Food shapes lifestyles as well as underlying health. It accounts for an important facet of culture and figures profoundly in measures for conserving energy and for safeguarding the environment. Lasting vitality for our industry depends on continuing to update our technologies and on continuing to deliver new kinds of value. That means accommodating changing lifestyles while pursuing ever-higher standards for food safety. The cutting-edge products, technologies, and services on display at FOOMA JAPAN 2016 will unveil exciting new possibilities for addressing those challenges.
Exhibitors and visitors at FOOMA JAPAN 2016 will enjoy a wealth of opportunities to cultivate business opportunities and nurture their ongoing development. We are expecting large-scale participation, and I look forward to seeing you there!
FOOMA JAPAN, which encompasses all aspects of food-manufacturing processes, has grown steadily to become Asia's largest-scale comprehensive trade fair for food technology. In a typical year it attracts around 100,000 visitors, and in recent years there has been an uptrend in the number of visitors from outside Japan. Because of this, the favorable impact of exhibiting here has gained it a high reputation among exhibiting companies.
FOOMA JAPAN 2016 will serve as a platform for unveiling to the world state-of-the-art innovative products and technologies in such fields as enhanced efficiency and automation of food-manufacturing processes, and advanced safety and hygiene management. It is thus also an ideal stage for demonstrating the advanced capabilities and merits of Japanese food machinery.
Once again, we will provide ample space for welcoming visitors from within Japan and also for international business interchange by securing Tokyo Big Sight's voluminous East Exhibition Hall for the event. Throughout our preparations and the exhibition we will be devoting ourselves single-mindedly to giving better-than-ever satisfaction to both exhibitors and visitors, positioning you to maximize business success.

The Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), in conjunction with the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI), has constitute an investigative team to unravel the cause of the collapse of Reigners Bible Church building, Uyo, in Akwa-Ibom State.
The President of the council, Engr Kashim Abdul Ali, informing newsmen in Abuja, said at the end of the investigation, a conclusion would be reached as to why the unfortunate breakdown of the building happened, adding that If the incident is found to be man-made, the engineers concerned will be pulled out and brought to book.
Recall that the said building reportedly collapsed at about 12 pm on Saturday, 10th December, 2016.
He said, "The roof collapsed from its centre and trapped many, especially those seated at the centre floor. The exact figure is not yet known but official police report has put the death toll at 29, and the wounded at 37.
He said research conducted into all the collapsed building cases in the country shows that less than 1% of those involved were engineering personnel, warning the public against engaging quacks and nonregistered engineers.
On the outcome of the recently held last quarter meeting and what COREN has done for the year 2016, Engr Ali said the council carried out direct accreditation of engineering programmes in Universities and in Polytechnics in collaboration with the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
According to him, 68 Universities were visited; out of which 42 programmes were granted full accreditation while 26 had interim accreditation.
He informed that "council has approved that the products of two programmes of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, I.e. Agric and Bioresources Engineering and Polymer and Textile engineering which were hitherto unaccredited will not be registered and hence cannot practise engineering in Nigeria."
He enjoined the general public to ensure they go for only accredited programmes to avoid any embarrassment at the end.

The political ads making more headlines than the candidates in Kentucky
The Kentucky senate race is garnering more attention than almost any other senate race in the midterm elections.
That's partly because of the candidates: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who stands to become Senate Majority Leader if the Republicans gain control of the Senate… or, a man out of a job entirely, if he loses to his Democratic opponent Alison Lundergran Grimes. The stakes couldn't be higher for McConnell, but that's not the only reason everyone is talking about this race.
In an attempt to bring the deeply red state of Kentucky over to her side, Lundegran Grimes has been launching a truly entertaining set of ad campaigns. Fusion's Alicia Menendez brings the ads to you in a special midterm election segment we're calling "Poli Up Video."

Conferences are Not For Learning
Near Infinity has the most generous training program I've heard of among our competitors, and certainly rivals the best in the industry. Colleagues occasionally ask me for opinions about a conference or training course they're considering. My stock answer for such inquiries has always been to "attend a good training class for depth of understanding on a narrow topic and pick a conference for more broad but shallower knowledge of many areas." I think the training course advice is still accurate, but I was wrong about conferences.
The best conferences aren't about learning at all. They're about inspiration. I finally realized this at RailsConf last week, despite having attended dozens of conferences during the past ten years. Surprisingly, I found most of the topics rather boring, most of the presenters unpolished, and most of the presentations poorly constructed and minimally rehearsed. The things I enjoyed most were the keynotes from Dave Thomas and David Heinemeier Hansson, a performance-related presentation by Aaron Patterson, an entrepreneurial story by Tom Preston-Werner, and a reflection talk by Keavy McMinn on her journey from artist to programmer. Why did I enjoy them? Because they caused me to look at things differently, forced me to think critically about my choices, and motivated me to act. Only one of these was technical in nature by the way, just one!
A good conference should inspire you to do something. No talk is long enough to teach you anything immediately useful. The best you can hope for is exposure to lots of stuff you might want to look into after the conference. Of course you could get the same level of exposure by reading the conference agenda, Googling each topic, and reading through some documentation on each homepage. What you can't get is the inspiration from a great speaker, motivational story, or engaged community.
So the next time you contemplate attending a conference, do your best to judge the inspiration potential. After all, if you're not going to do anything different after the conference, why bother going?

Navigating Global Waters West Marine's Spreads Its Risk by Ex
You're sailing in the Pacific when you lose your anchor. What do you do? Pull out your laptop and e-mail an order for a new anchor from the West Marine catalog, requesting the product be delivered to the marina in Fiji in 10 days time. Sound like a logistical nightmare? Not for West Marine, a boating equipment cataloger based in Watsonville, CA. In fact, this scenario is not entirely unusual, according to Chris Flannery, director of international marketing for West Marine's catalog division. And while the cataloger is able to accommodate most of these requests, if it misses the customer in one port it will deliver the product to the next port the customer is scheduled to visit.
Spreading risk
Like many other global direct marketers, West Marine's international business grew from expatriates it started supporting worldwide and has been supplying as customers for 10 years since. Going global seemed natural for the boating equipment cataloger that sells everything from rope to personal satellite communicators. Many of its customers are serious boaters who travel the world—port to port.
Three years ago, West Marine decided to "take a strategic stance on international business and begin to aggressively prospect," says Flannery. As part of this approach, it "conducted a strategic market study on the countries where there was competitive business and a substantial market" for its products. Markets recognized as "hot" for boating often have considerable local competition, whereas markets not traditionally known for boating may be more lucrative. For example, the Mediterranean is a hot boating market, but it also has good local services that provide competition. Flannery sums up this philosophy: "You have to throw mud on the map and see where it sticks."
Noting past problems in Mexico and the current crisis in Japan where the market was good until the economy turned sour, Flannery's key challenge was to spread the cataloger's risk. "What today is hot, tomorrow may be cold," says Flannery, explaining that West Marine decided to diversify its international business. In early 1996 the majority of its business stemmed from its top five markets. Now, it is more evenly spread across 25 markets. By spreading its risk, the cataloger won't take as big of a hit if something like the Mexican peso crisis or Asian economic crisis arises. It appears this strategy has paid off: Despite the economic problems in the Pacific Rim, West Marine has maintained modest growth in Japan.

I was so fool that I first try to initialize an 2D array filled with black. After several failed try, I realized it can only be solved to simulate every time according to the input Finally, I got A.C.
Have you ever...

Sussex based photographer specialising in artistic photography and photographic services.
The past couple of years has really seen what was a casual interest take off into something of an obsession, always striving to get that next shot or outdoor the last one keeps me coming back. when i look back over the past year or so i feel i have certainly matured as a photographer and can notice a real difference in quality between my early works and my current output. I do love a landscape, particularly in my home county of Sussex and i do enjoy trying to get a different perspective on my shots, especially if it is a scene that has been captured 100 times by 100 different people

Training Techniques have variations from each other to assist in training progression. Differences could include such things as, Order of Exercises, Repetitions Variances, Exercise Speed to name just a few, all of which aid in changing Muscle adaptation to Exercise.
Another name could be "Overload Techniques" as Muscles react and adapt to progressive increases in the Resistance or Load placed upon them.
I recommend these Training Techniques only be introduced to a Workout Routine that is of an Intermediate or Advanced Level. When you first commence a Workout Routine your concentration should be on Correct Posture and Positioning, Exercise Technique and gaining the experience and knowledge of how your body feels and responds to your Workouts.
Once you have a solid foundation to build upon, from your experience, you may progress into other training options that can enhance your Motivation and add variety to your Workouts.
The following is a list of Training Techniques and a brief description,
For example, the Bicep Curl, the first Set is 7 Reps and is performed only through the top half of its Range of Motion. Then 7 Reps through its bottom half of its Range of Motion, then completing the Set by performing 7 Sets of its full Range of Motion.
This would be recommended as another Endurance Technique, although I would also recommend this as a variation on an existing Intermediate to Advanced Workout. I highly recommend this Technique.
This Technique is effective and allows for excellent Workout efficiency if time is tight. I highly recommend this Technique.
This causes the blood to be sent from one working area to another bring about an increase in Cardio-respiratory response. This could be akin to a "Circuit Workout" where different Exercises are performed one after the other. I highly recommend this Technique.
There are numerous other TRAINING TECHNIQUES but these would involve the adaptation and use of specialized equipment. The preceding examples could easily be incorporated into your Workout Routines as you progress.
As time passes and your Experience, Strength and Knowledge grows, find two or three of these Techniques that suit you. You could then alternate between these every 5 – 6 weeks to prevent boredom and adaptation with your Workouts.
Persistence, Pays Off.
Please take me from "Training Techniques" and return me to "Workout Routines".

One Thing at a Time
You may think that you are getting a lot done if you are doing many things at once. However, studies have proven that you actually complete less in the short-term when you multitask. Yoga provides us with the tools to expand our focus over time by offering guidance in the form of one practice at a time. To begin we address that which is most accessible; the body.
Discipline in Practice
Discipline is learned. Embedded within the eight limbs of Yoga are practices that are ineffective unless done with discipline. As we practice, consistently, we develop focus, control, awareness, discernment and more.
Consider the practice of Satya: non-lying or truthfulness. You may think, "I am not a liar." According to Yoga; Satya is as much about what you say as what you do not say. It is a practice of consideration of your thoughts and words before they leave you; a practice of considering if what you are about to say will help or hurt yourself and others. Often, we will not realize we are lying until the words have left our mouths. Yoga teaches us to become observers of our behavior at all times. This discipline of observation helps us to become aware of habits that are rooted in self preservation. As we continue to practice, we refine our vision and begin to see more clearly.
The Resulting Heat
Have you ever made custard from scratch? In order to do so you must heat is slowly, over a period of time, while stirring constantly. The effect of the slow heat, time and consistent movement can result in a perfectly prepared custard. A lack of discipline and focus could lead to higher heat, shorter time and reduced movement resulting in an unconcealed liquid or a thick, gelatinous mess.
Tapas has many translations: heat, cook, purify, detoxify, zeal of practice, discipline, austerity. Tapas is both the means and the end. Through discipline in movement, breath, mindful focus, time, awareness, observation, effort, restoration, etc. we create heat, purification, detoxification, clarity, transparency, awareness of the Self. Our practice of creating Tapas results in Tapas. Our discipline results in discipline. Our focus begets focus.
The heat/intensity/discipline/passion of our practice cooks impurities out of us and refines us to our base - the Self.
More Than Poses
If you are ready to remove that which you do not need, lighten the load you carry daily, purify and clear away the impurities that poison you so that you spend each day feeling healthier, happier, more joy and ease in your life then you are ready to begin the practice of Yoga.
Chose wisely, for not every practice is guided equally. According to Hatha Yoga a Vinyasa (Flow) Practice is for the advanced practitioner. Would you begin running and start with 10 miles? Would you join a gym and on your first day and lift 100lbs? Approach Yoga in the same way. Begin with a practice that aligns with your current knowledge, strength, flexibility and ability levels. Begin here to develop the discipline and, as you create Tapas, you will know how to progress.
When you're consumed with a busy work-life schedule, wellness is not a priority and often forgotten. We are too preoccupied with the hustle and bustle of life's demands. Opting for what's better is not an option. We prefer to do things that are convenient, easy, and fast. We're eating fast food, skipping exercise, and drinking numerous amounts of coffee. When you do have the spare time to work out, you're exhausted and the only thing you want to do is relax. Since you're seated comfortably on the sofa, why not zone out in front of the TV? Don't feel guilty. We've all done that. So the question remains, how is it even possible to be consistent with your wellness? It takes discipline, dedication, and perseverance with all aspects of your work-life schedule.
Time Management
One of the most critical details to pay attention to is how you manage your time. Organize your time using a calendar app and a virtual assistant. It will clear some clouds from the chaos in your life. Set a schedule to plan not only work, but also your meals, exercise, and free time. A little can go a long way with wellness. Even if it's just for 10 minutes, enter it in your calendar. Set it on repeat to keep you on track. Be wise and realistic with your time allocation. Otherwise, you'll find yourself not accomplishing tasks and goals. Inadvertently affecting your overall wellness to a negative state.
Prepare Healthy Meals
If you find yourself eating on the go most of the time, you're likely eating highly processed fast food items that are loaded with fat, salt, carbohydrates, and sugar. Avoid that at all cost by preparing healthy meals. It's possible to prepare healthy meals within the same amount of time as getting fast food. Based on The Statistics Portal study in July 2017, a fast food drive-thru service wait time is approximately 4 minutes. This study is based on the quickest fast food drive-thru services. This means that the wait time can be longer. You can prepare a healthy meal in 5-minutes! With meal preparation, it gives you full control to create healthy meals in no-time and done on a regular basis.
Exercise at Work
If you don't have time to exercise at home, exercise at work. There are many exercises that you can do at your workplace. Stretch and do chair exercises every hour. You'll forget to do this. This is when an hourly reminder set on your smartphone comes to your rescue. During a break, go for a brisk walk. If you work at a building with stairs, climb up and down the stairwell after lunch to burn off those calories. Don't sit in traffic. Instead, go to an exercise class or the gym right after work. To make it more interesting, work out with a fellow associate. Having a workout partner will keep you motivated. However you see fit, do something that sparks your interest. You'll look forward to doing your exercise regimen more often.
Get Plenty of Rest
Without getting enough sleep, you'll be lethargic and unmotivated. On top of it, you'll be jeopardizing your wellness and work performance. Make sure you sleep at a reasonable time and no less than 8 hours. Set a reminder during the weekdays if you have too. Save the partying on the weekends and on special occasions. Recharge yourself during the day with power naps from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Any later, it will disrupt your bedtime schedule. A 6, 30, or 60-minute nap will serve you best.
Stay Positive
Wellness doesn't only mean being physically fit and eating right. You can be in the best shape of your life and love your veggies, but if there's a dark cloud above your head, what good will that do? When you keep a positive outlook in life, it will help you immensely. Start with practicing mindfulness and light meditation daily. You don't need to be chanting a mantra while seated in a cross-legged position. You can do this anytime and sit however you like anywhere quietly for a few minutes. Then close your eyes, clear your mind, and take deep breaths. Try focusing on your daily affirmations. Believe in yourself and take action each day to accomplish your goals.
Don't be hard on yourself if you miss a few days or if you want to treat yourself. It's okay. Consider it a break, but don't wait too long or overdo it. Stay positive and think about the importance of your wellness. Then jump back into your daily wellness routines. After all, you're not adopting new habits. You have a calendar. You eat and sleep daily. It's a matter of being wiser with your time to incorporate work, life, and wellness altogether. In time, it'll feel natural and you won't have to struggle with your wellness again.
