Well, I missed it. The biggest local breaking news event of 2006 and I'm off working on a special (not Apartment X, Y or Z related) report. (UPDATE - Then for the next two days I'm on follow up patrol... HERE and HERE)
I saw the smoke on the horizon while driving back to the station between shoots and reporter Eric White and I walked into the doors of the station to a barage of images that had us begging to drop our story and jump on this.
But our co-workers had it well under control even before we knew what was going on. Our coverage of the fire started at 2:30pm and went COMMERCIAL FREE, non-stop, wall to wall, until 7:30. That, folks is RARE!
I have to shout out to all my co-workers for an excellent job! This kind of story is extremely difficult work, the most stressful there is, and to be at it for 5 hours takes a toll.
I hate that I missed it! I have a feeling I'll get follow up duty. I can't wait.

Killjoys Cast News (Mayko Nguyen, Anna Hopkins, Kalinka Petrie)
Kalinka Petrie (Brynn in "Necropolis Now") will be Jeanne in the horror/comedy LA MALÉDICTION DE JONATHAN PLOURDE, the story of a 23 year-old designer who falls in love four times only to have each of his lovers die suddenly. Convinced that he is cursed, Jonathan (Félix-Antoine Duval) is determined to give up on romance, until a new employee named Jeanne enters his life. With the help of a co-worker who is well-schooled in unexplained phenomena, Jonathan tries to figure out how to have Jeanne in his life without putting her in danger. Petrie told Karine Paradis of Envedette: "The most interesting thing about Jeanne's character is that she's the only one who does not know about Jonathan's supernatural angle…so it was really interesting to play that, because she tries to find rational explanations, real explanations, to explain Jonathan's bizarre behavior." LA MALÉDICTION DE JONATHAN PLOURDE premiered on the Canadian French language network Super Écran on 12 November. Episode 4, in which Jonathan has a difficult and emotional discussion with his mother and takes part in a dangerous rebirth session, will air on 3 December at 9pm. A trailer is available on Vimeo.
Anna Hopkins (Fairuza in "The Kids Are Alright") is Maya in RED ROVER, a romantic comedy about a lonely geologist (Kristian Bruun), who spends his time searching for the meaning of life and (with the aid of a metal detector) for treasures buried on the beach. He has little success finding either of those things. Then he meets a quirky musician named Phoebe (Cara Gee) who is handing out flyers for a one-way trip to Mars. The two become friends and Damon soon decides to attempt to qualify for the trip. A trailer is available on Vimeo. RED ROVER will have its world premiere at the 2018 Whistler Film Festival Friday 30 November at 3:30pm at the Maury Young Arts Centre. There will be a second screening Sunday 2 December at 9pm at the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center.
Mayko Nguyen (Delle Seyah Kendry) will be Chief of Forensics Sarah Truong in REX, the first English language adaptation of "Inspector Rex, a Cop's Best Friend", which starred Fritz Muliar and ran for eighteen seasons in 125 countries. Set in St. John's, Newfoundland, REX will focus on the partnership between Police Detective Charlie Hudson (John Reardon) and his K9 partner Rex (played by Diesel, a Canadian Kennel Club grand champion). Rex and Charlie combine their individual skills to solve the most puzzling crimes. The eight-episode, hour-long series is currently in production, and should air on CITY-TV in Canada next year.

Translocation of trees for new Env Min building
New Delhi: "Save as many trees as you can."
This was the message from Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh as he ordered translocation of trees from a site where foundation stone laid by him for a new building for the Ministry.
The new complex, tipped to be `green`, being built at a cost of about 140 crore, is coming up at Aliganj on Jorbagh Road here. After performing `Bhumi Pujan` for the building amidst Vedic hymns, Ramesh said the building would be completed in 15 months.
"Translocate the trees to Lodhi Gardens," the Minister said when officials from the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), who will carry out the construction, pointed out that atleast 35 trees will have to be cut for the building.
Later, speaking to reporters, he said: "In this site, we have about 79 trees and about 32 or 33 trees will have to be removed. But we don`t want to remove them. We want to translocate them."
"Normally we translocate 4 year…5-year-old saplings …small trees. Translocating trees at about 40-years-old…
50-years-old becomes expensive. But we will do it. Because we don`t want to lose these trees. Trees are part of our history," the Minister said.
Some of the trees at the site are more than a century old.
"Respect for the rivers, respect for the forests, respect for the mountains is very much part of our culture. No other culture has it," he said.
The two-block Ministry building — ground floor plus seven in the north and ground floor plus 6 in the south — is being developed as a `net zero` building with annual energy demand of 1421000 kwh against annual energy generation of 1429000 kwh.
"It would be the most environment-friendly, climate friendly Government building. This would be a signature. This would be a signal to the rest of the world that we mean business, when it comes to green buildings," Ramesh said.
"This would be India`s greenest building in the Government sector," the Minister said.
Regenerative lifts, mechanised car parking, innovative chilled beam system for cooling, pre-cooling of fresh air from toilet exhaust using heat recovering wheel, water cooled chillers will also be the notable features of the building.
According to CPWD`s chief architect R K Kakar, "the building actually is going beyond net zero."
"It is energy positive. The basic idea being that over the course of year, the building creates more energy than it actually consumes. That is right now being managed through the photo voltage system, which is on the roof," he said.
He said the building goes far beyond any green rating systems and also is a pioneering effort.
Ramesh also said the idea is that over the year it becomes energy-positive.
"It gives more energy out, then we receive. We can`t look at it in a day-to-day basis. Over the years, the building would give out more energy to the grid," he added.

How Long Should You Look Before You Leap?
by Jitendra Subramanyam | May 15, 2019 | 2 Comments
Meet the Chief Data and Analytics Officer research team | Check out our research
In his fascinating book, A Man For All Markets, Edward Thorp trots out a problem called the "secretary problem" and breezily gives us the solution (pp.263-4).
"Assume that you will interview a series of people, from which you will choose one. Further, you must consider them one at a time, and having once rejected someone, you cannot reconsider. The optimal strategy [the one that maximizes the probability of picking the best one] is to wait until you have seen about 37 percent of the prospects, then choose the next one you see who is better than anybody among this first 37 percent that you passed over. If no one is better you are stuck with the last person on the list."
But why should this be? What's so special about looking at but not selecting the first 37% of applicants and then leaping to select the next candidate who comes along who's better than any of the first 37%? You can look up the mathematical solution to the problem. But is there a simpler way to get this result, a more intuitive way to understand why 37%?
There is. It's through simulation. Let's set it up.
The Look-Then-Leap Algorithm
Suppose we have n elements that are rank ordered from 1, 2, …, n. The elements are jumbled up so the rank ordering is messed up. For instance they are jumbled up as 4, 56, 73, 1, …, n, 32. We can only see the elements one at a time. The only choice we can make is to either select or reject an element when it is presented to us.
If the objective of the game is to maximize our chances of selecting the best element (which we'll designate as element 1, second best as element 2, and so on), what strategy should we adopt? That is the secretary problem. It might seem like there's no good strategy. But as Thorp pointed out, there is.
The winning strategy is to adopt the Look-Then-Leap algorithm where you switch from look to leap once you've looked at 37% of the total number of items.
Here are the steps of the look-then-leap algorithm:
- Look at and reject the first k items where k < n
- Go to the next item in the list – if this is the last item, choose it and STOP
- Check if the item is better than any of the k items
- If yes, then choose the item and STOP
- If no, then GO BACK TO STEP 2
Simulating the Solution
The secretary problem has the following characteristics:
- We have a finite list of things to choose from
- These things appear before us one by one
- They can appear in any order
- The items are ranked — the higher the rank, the better the item
- We don't want to leap too early or we'll risk missing a better candidate who is yet to appear
- We don't want to leap too late or we'll risk rejecting the best candidate
There are many problems that fit these simple constraints. In their book Algorithms To Live By, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths point to hunting for an apartment in San Francisco a hot market or finding a mate as examples. My colleague Kevin Gabbard generated this list of similar problems.
In general, if we had 3 candidates (the best ranked 1, the second best ranked 2 and so on), they could appear for interviews in any one of 6 orders: [1, 2, 3], [1, 3, 2], [2, 1, 3], [2, 3, 1], [3, 1, 2], [3, 2, 1]. Let's apply the Look-Before-You-Leap algorithm by looking and always rejecting the first one and then leaping for the next best one. Since we have 3 items, looking at the first one and leaping thereafter means leaping after 33% of the candidates have been observed.
If we look at the first candidate and reject them and then leap for the better candidate, 50% of the time we end up with the best candidate. While not great, this is significantly better than choosing at random which yields the best candidate only 33% of the time.
And so on with 4, 5, and any number of candidates. But as the number of candidates grows, the number of permutations grows very quickly. While there are 6 ways in which 3 distinct things can be permuted, there are more than 3.6 million ways in which 10 distinct things can be permuted. So in order to simulate the situation of selecting from a pool of 100 candidates, we can't possibly check all permutations in which they appear.
Rather, we'll start with the candidates in order 1, 2, 3, …, 100 as one of the possibilities. We'll then scramble up the order randomly many thousands of times to simulate a the experiment of choosing a candidate based on the Look-then-Leap algorithm. Each time we pick a candidate based on the look-then-leap algorithm and then at the end of the run of simulated trials we check to see what proportion of the picks are picks of the best candidate.
Here are the results when we simulate 200,000 trials for a pool of 10 candidates and then for a pool of 100 candidates.
With 10 candidates to choose from in total, we were told that the best strategy is to look at 3 or 4 candidates first, reject them and then choose the next candidate who's better than the ones initially rejected.
The simulation indeed validates looking at (roughly) 37% of the pool before leaping. The simulation also reveals three other curious facts:
- The probability of choosing the best candidate is also around 37%. So you look at 37% percent of the pool before you leap; and once you leap, you have a 37% chance of selecting the best candidate. This is a neat coincidence!
- The probability of choosing the best candidate is significantly higher than choosing the second or third best candidate. This is quite counter-intuitive and usually not the way things tend to be.
- And finally, it doesn't matter if there are 10 candidates or 100 (or any number): you should always leap after you've looked at 37% of the pool in order to maximize the probability of selecting the best candidate.
We can check this third point by simulating the look-then-leap algorithm for a pool of 100 candidates.
In their book Algorithms to Live By, Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths underscore the miraculous nature of this third point (p.15):
"If we were hiring at random, …then in a pool of hundred applicants we'd have a 1% chance of success [of hiring the best applicant], in a pool of a million applicants we'd have a 0.0001% chance. Yet remarkably, the math of the secretary problem doesn't change. If you're stopping optimally, your chance of finding the single best applicant in a pool of hundred is 37%. And in a pool of a million, believe it or not, your chance is still 37%. Thus the bigger the applicant pool gets, the more valuable knowing the optimal algorithm becomes. It's true that you're unlikely to find the needle the majority of the time, but optimal stopping [i.e., using the look-then-leap algorithm] is your best defense against the haystack, no matter how large."

You're in the back reviewing the books when your ears suddenly perk to shattering glass and plates crashing to the floor. It's a sound that's all too common in restaurants. The consequences though can be much more severe than a few broken glasses.
All it takes is a slip, cut or burn. A greasy floor, incorrectly using cutting utensils or a deep fryer could send an employee or customer to the hospital and land your business in hot water with an expensive lawsuit and rising insurance premiums. How do you make your restaurant hazard-free?Download Restaurant Safety Checklist
Practice makes perfect and the same can be validated for safety training. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, better known as OSHA, states for every $1 invested in safety programs, businesses can save between $4-$6 from costs associated with injuries. It's definitely worth the investment and time. Plus, a safer workplace is the recipe for a better business.
"Lift with the knees!"
It's a technique that's been instilled in our brains since the days of gym class, yet people continue to lift with their back. Restaurant employees are constantly lifting, whether that's awkwardly picking up a serving plate full of food and drinks or a heavy box of produce weighing in excess of 60 pounds. The waiting staff, bussers and cooks are at high risk for suffering neck, back and shoulder strains.
To prevent such injuries from occurring, focus on teaching proper ways to carry and lift items. Carrying plates with elbows close to your body can lessen the strain on the arms and back. Items that require heavy lifting should be placed on shelves located in the "power zone." This is the area between the thighs and chest where you have the most control over lifting an object. And don't forget to lift with the knees!
Don't get burned
12,000 – That's the number of burn-related injuries that occur in a restaurant kitchen on a yearly basis. A kitchen can be the most dangerous place to be in a restaurant. Commercial grills, deep fryers, broilers and steam kettles are among the many hazards that lurk in every direction. Plus, most restaurant kitchens are laid out as galleys, which mean cramped, narrow spaces to work.
Put into place strict rules of who should be in the kitchen and allow only trained employees with proper protective gear to operate equipment. Clearly post all procedures specific to the equipment in use and install splashguards around all hot surfaces. These rules sound simple enough, but remember, more than 12,000 restaurant employees end up suffering burns each year.
Watch your step
Slips, trips and falls are the most common restaurant hazards. A busy waiting staff can lose their balance while not paying attention to the carpet strip. Blind spots and walking around corners with a serving plate can spell trouble. And, we can't forget about the most hazardous spot; the single door leading to and from the kitchen.
Keep floors dry and uncluttered, and have non-slip floor mats in areas known for getting wet. When the floors are cleaned, it's best to use floor cleaning products with grease-removal properties and are slip-resistance. Make sure all freeze doors and ice machines are sealed to prevent water from leaking on the floor.
What is the best approach to effectively promote and carry out restaurant safety? A restaurant checklist. This piece of literature is an essential guide focused on standard safety actions and processes for your staff. It ensures safety protocols are being followed year round, and not just when the inspector shows up.Download Restaurant Safety Checklist

Various groups and agencies are tasked with improving the safety of travelers along the nation's highways. As a result, there have been many improvements in trucking regulations geared toward reducing the numbers of serious truck accidents. Sadly, with the increased use of commercial vehicles to transport goods, it is likely that there will continue to be serious crashes on Texas interstates.
One group has renewed its calls for restrictor plates to be installed on all semi-trucks. Road Safe America, a highway safety advocacy group, was formed after the founders lost a child in a fatal crash in 2002. The group posted a message on social media sites urging members to contact their congressional representatives and demand that they take action to require speed control devices on all class 8 vehicles. The group argues that passing this requirement would not create an economic hardship on trucking companies since a majority of these vehicles are already equipped with these devices.
The group is asking that all semi-trucks be limited to 65 mph. The social media post included statistics that purportedly show a correlation between this speed and a significant drop in collisions involving tractor-trailers. According to a study conducted in another country, accidents caused by excessive speed by truckers were reduced by an estimated 73% once restrictor plates were required. Fatal crashes involving commercial trucks declined an estimated 24% after the technology was applied.
The group affirms that it supports the trucking industry and that its objective is to increase the safety for all motorists. In 2016, The Department of Transportation issued a proposal that would require speed restrictors to be installed on all vehicles weighing 26,000 pounds or more. Truck accidents usually result in horrible outcomes for victims. Along with often devastating injuries, victims sustain significant monetary damages from which they may never recover. Those who are injured in these tragic crashes along Texas highways may pursue recovery of their losses through the state's civil courts.

Sperm that's been loaded with chemotherapy drugs could be used to fight cancer in women.
The guided missile technique involves using drug-treated sperm to deliver the medicines to tumors deep inside the body.
The revolutionary treatment could help thousands of women affected by cancers of the reproductive system, which can be reached by the drug- carrying sperm. Cancer of the womb kills more than 2,000 women a year in the UK and cervical cancer claims the lives of around 900.
Treatment includes chemotherapy to try to poison the cancer cells before they spread.
But this also damages healthy cells. For years, scientists have been exploring ways to deliver toxic anti-cancer medicines directly to tumor sites, leaving healthy tissues unscathed.
One method used bacteria as a form of transport, as they can penetrate the body easily.
But though the technique was relatively effective at getting chemotherapy drugs deep inside the body, the immune system often destroyed the bacteria (which it saw as an invader) before they reached their destination.
Using sperm gets round this problem because, even though it is 'foreign', it does not get attacked by a woman's immune system.
This is thought to be because, on its surface, sperm carries certain sugar molecules — glycoproteins — which are recognized by all human immune systems, allowing them safe passage through the female body.
Scientists at the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences in Dresden, Germany, chose to experiment with sperm because of its ability to propel itself through the reproductive tract.
Sperm move forwards by thrashing their long tail — or flagellum — to reach the fallopian tubes and try to fertilize an egg.
Researchers wondered if this could be utilized to steer drug-carrying sperm to hard-to-reach tumors in women's reproductive tracts. They're perfecting the technique to ensure they can target tumors accurately so that pregnancy won't happen.
In a recent study, scientists began by soaking individual sperm in a chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin for several hours. Doxorubicin is a commonly used drug that treats many cancers and works by blocking an enzyme, called topoisomerase 2, which cancer cells need to grow.
Next they covered each sperm in a miniature metal harness, no bigger than a pinhead, which was coated with an iron solution.

- ExxonMobile ran a social influencer campaign on YouTube that generated about 1 million user engagements, per a statement from the agency, Mastermind Marketing, that oversaw the effort. The energy giant aimed to raise awareness for its Speedpass+ mobile app and urge viewers to apply for the ExxonMobile Smart Card, a credit card issued by Citibank that also works in the app.
- The campaign relied on influencers who have automotive or technology channels on YouTube, Google's video-sharing platform with 1.8 billion users worldwide. A video demonstration of the Speedpass+ app by a trusted influencer was the best way to explain its features and benefits, Daniel Dodson, CEO of Mastermind, said. The consumer engagements included traffic to customized influencer landing pages, app downloads and card applications.
- The Speedpass+ app allows people to buy gas with a connected credit card, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay and is integrated with the ExxonMobil Rewards+ program. Customers can apply for an ExxonMobil Smart Card through the app.
ExxonMobil's campaign for its Speedpass+ mobile app and payment card shows how a brand can reach a target audience by carefully selecting social influencers who have cultivated an audience of enthusiasts. It also points to the expanding reach of influencer marketing, which has often been focused around influencers in topics like fashion, beauty and cooking. In ExxonMobil's case, the campaign was aimed at viewers of automotive and technology vlogs on YouTube.
For ExxonMobil, the campaign had a two-fold goal: increasing usage of its Speedpass+ mobile app and increasing applications for its Smart Card credit card. While the type of mobile payments supported by the Speedpass+ app are popular in the developing world, they have faced resistance in Western markets. This could change as more tech-savvy, mobile-first consumers enter the market, and companies like 7-Eleven and Costco are rolling out support for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Walmart this week announced that its Savings Catcher app will require mobile payment.
Overall, marketers are investing more in influencer marketing. By generating 1 million engagements, this social influencer campaign appears to be a success, but social media also can be a double-edged sword for brands, especially in industries that generate public controversy. ExxonMobil has been targeted on social media with a #ExxonKnew campaign following claims that the company covered up knowledge about its possible role in climate change and lied to the public.

There's something to that statement because, we can all look back at a particular situation in life and laugh now, but the point is, time is just a concept we use to measure minutes, days, hours, months and years. In certain situations and with certain people, time does not heal all wounds. But overall time heals.
Time is not always a healer. The passage of time may take the edge off of acute pain, but it does not necessarily heal the pain. On the other hand, time can be used well for healing purposes. When time is used properly or shall I say, it is because we do something specific with and within it. We take time to shape it in order to do inner work. It is inner work coupled with courage and honesty that heals all wounds.
About six years ago I left the church I was attending, because I didn't quite fit anymore. But while I was there, this young girl took a liking to me. She decided that sitting with me during a Sunday morning worship service was going to be her regular routine. As she began this new journey in her and my life, I instructed her to write notes from the sermon, instead of just drawing. I thought if I had her make notes of the message for the day, she would opt to sit elsewhere. She didn't, and there we were, Sunday after Sunday.
After about two years things begin to get a little complicated for me at that particular church. I decided to part ways, and in doing so I left all of those in my circle behind. This young lady had a problem with her mom one day, and it seemed she always did, so I lit into her, which made her very angry at me. But at the time I was okay with my decision to chastise her and sever the ties. Well, as God would have it, after six years, two of the other ladies in the church made it their business to find me. In this coming back together, my heart was overjoyed.
A discussion of the young lady who used to sit with me came up, so at that point I looked her up on Facebook. Yes I found her, but she wasn't too happy to hear from me. She expressed how I hurt her, and added to the trust issues she already had. Even with my apologies, she decided to leave things as they were, and not accept my apology. I had to reason with myself in the fact that, I did repent to her and also anything I said was never to hurt her, but only to assist her in growing up a bit, and to stop the madness with her mother.
We can never take back the things we said, which is why one should also be very careful as to what you say. Remember that sometimes you might never get a second chance. I made it my business to set the record straight back then, but never using wisdom to decide how to handle this situation. Not seeking God's wisdom on how to handle a problem in your life can be devastating for others, and we never want to hurt anyone. I do have some regrets, but have learned in my older age that, somethings are meant to be just the way they are. Things happen for a reason, and some things are out of our control.
Encourage Yourself: Time heals wounds if we allow it to. But to refuse someone asking for forgiveness, is terrible for the person who was initially hurt. Unforgiveness can bring on bitterness, anger, and resentment, don't allow yourself to be in this state. Ask God to guide you, allowing you to rid yourself of the hurt. I know it can be hard, I know better than anybody, but with God's help you, me and anyone else can overcome unforgiveness. Prayer will be a necessity in this situation. Scriptures tells us, "with God all things are possible." Be Ye Healed In Jesus Name!
I know how hard it is growing up in a house being at odds with your mother, so I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. But I couldn't be in the middle, and I didn't want to give the wrong message to her or her mother. So the best thing for me to do, in that situation, was to remove myself from the equation. I never thought I had caused that much damage, but even with all of that, I do believe time heals.
Because I didn't want to be draw into her situation with her mother, and I could never tell who was telling the truth. I opted out of that relationship with all of them. Still not wanting to hurt anyone, it happened anyway. I can only hope that she finds it in her heart to forgive me. She has her own family now with a beautiful baby girl, I pray she is happy. And yes, time heals.

Im seriously confused how to set up a Skybox F6 and Openbox bought off Trademe.
I read someone else on the forum used their settings below for a similar device.
For satellite I chose Optus D2.
LND Frequency: 10750
Transponder: 12483/2250/H
LNB Power: ON
Toner Burst: NONE.
However I can't seem to find a way to insert 12483; , it just skips past that number. Theres no 12483 setting on the transponder it goes 12130 the next is 12525
If anyone can please help me in details, id appreciate it. I'm a little desperate here. I don't really know what to do and the seller mikenzguy or something like that is not replying.
Thank you all.

continued from Starlit Sky 22.
Next constellation that we will look at is the Aquarius. It is a part of the 12 zodiac constellations. Aquarius is called the Kumbha Raasi in the Indian Astronomical System. Kumbha means a pot. All the stars of this constellation put together seems like water being poured out of a big pot. Hence the name. The Greeks saw it as a water carrier with a pot of water.
This constellation is a easier to spot with binoculars than with naked eye because the stars are of lesser magnitude.
Now to locate this constellation. Remember Altair from the Summer Triangle? Using that find the constellation Capricornus. Now move in a northeasternly direction. You will reach a constellation of about 15 stars with mostly faint stars, that is the Aquarius.
The star in the position of λ is called the Shatabhisha star in the Indian Astronomical system. It is one of the 27 stars of this system. It is quite faint with about 3.8 magnitude. It can be seen well with a binoculars.
In fact, almost all the stars in this constellation are of 3 or less magnitude.
One of the claims to fame of this constellation is the fact that Neptune was discovered in 1846 when it was in this constellation.
Look to the south of Aquarius. Somewhere in between Capricorn and Aquarius you will see a bright star with a magnitude of 1.1. This is the star Fomelhaut. It is a part of the constellation Piscis Austrinus, otherwise called Southern Fish. It is not the same as the zodiac constellation of Pisces.
This constellation is a part of the southern hemisphere.
The water from the ewer of the Aquarius seems to be flowing in a southern direction and the fish below is drinking it up!

Well hello there! We are finally back with all the CW Superheroes! (minus the Legends of course). It's been an odd break and I can honestly say I haven't been itching to see the return of any series in particular. This may be an indication that TV Superhero fatigue is finally settling into me, long have I resisted but maybe the end is nigh! For now though, let's get into the past week's episodes!
Supergirl S2 Ep18 – 'Ace Reporter'
Following the Daxamite crisis last time, Kara has a brief respite in the city. There isn't much going on. It's so quiet that the rest of the team have to go off and keep themselves busy on other tasks. But don't worry there's a bad guy just round the corner!
Even though Kara got fired from Cat Co, she still wants to be a reporter and convinces the extremely annoying (but attractive) Lena Luthor to give her a press pass to new tech presentation given by her ex-boyfriend.
Lena claims she needs support because the relationship was serious and didn't end too well, but we know it's just another episode in the season given to the secondary (or even third) characters. Lena's relationship with the guy is in the forefront, and Kara's investigation of him is behind that, even though it's the most interesting part of the episode.
Basically this guy (I'm going to call him Lena's BF) has created something called Biomax nanobots which can almost instantly heal any injury. It will be revolutionary if released to the world. Lena's BF is a nice guy and wants to reconnect with Lena, so naturally it comes as no surprise when he turns out to be the bad guy. Kara and Snapper both get word that the human trials records for Biomax were faked and there are some dangerous things going on in the lab. When interviewing their respective witnesses the nanobots attack and end up killing their sources!
We find out Lena's BF experimented on himself with the nanobots, integrating them with his system, turning him into a living swarm of nanobots. The side-effect? The loss of free will which is exploited by his Chief Financial Officer.
She is the real bad guy and has been controlling him in order to increase the net worth of the tech! Well long story short, Lena has to kill her BF to save Kara's life when the bad guy take-down attempt goes badly. The villain had potential but was wasted and yet again Kara was nerfed only to be rescued by a normal person.
In other news, Kara gets her job back after Snapper respects her reporting. Yep another completely pointless plot 180. Oh and James agrees to let Winn's alien girlfriend join him on some vigilante-ing. Inevitably it goes badly when she goes a bit out of control.
James gets pissed, upsets Winn who upsets his gf. James apologises and they are back to teaming up all hunky dory. Boring! The only other thing of merit in the episode is Mrs Daxam returning in 'Earth clothes' to give Lena Luthor a business offer. Hmmm curious. A poor return for Supergirl. Pick it up! There's not long left in the season.
The Flash S3 Ep19 – 'The Once and Future Flash'
For only the second time in the entire show's history, Barry goes to the future!!! He has decided the only way to save Iris is to learn the identity of Savitar from his future self. Barry gives us some nonsense explanation on how getting Wally to throw him fast will send him to the exact right time in the future and just like that, Barry is in 2024.
So what's different in future Central City? Well the city appears to be under the control of Mirror Master and his girlfriend Top. They have learnt to combine their powers making them a little bit more formidable but Barry has taken them out before so they shouldn't present a problem. Unfortunately Barry seems to have forgotten that as almost gets killed by them!
Seeking out his former teammates Barry learns that after Iris' death Team Flash disbanded. Caitlin went full Killer Frost and in a harsh battle, froze then shattered Cisco's hands, Julian works at the prison that is holding Killer Frost, HR owns Jitters (he's doing pretty well for himself), Wally went after Savitar himself and returned crippled and in a trance like state and Joe is just plain sad. Finally meeting his future self, Barry is disappointed to learn that future Barry doesn't know who Savitar is. The only information he has is how they beat him.
Four years after Iris' death a scientist creates some tech enabling the team to trap him. The problem is that it gets invented too late to help the present Barry save Iris. Future Barry won't help at first, but when Present Barry learns future Cisco has been preventing him returning to his time in the hope he will stay and be the Flash the city needs, our Barry agrees to help for a bit.
They get the team back together and eventually Future Barry joins the fray, in a snazzy new suit! The Flash duo take down Mirror Master and Top pretty easily before Barry returns to the present, content in the knowledge that his future self will try and repair the bridges he burnt. Is it just me or was all of that pointless, it's the future, so if Barry is going to change it, it won't happen like that!
Barry has some info to work with, they are going to find the scientist to help them stop Savitar. Elsewhere, Caitlin in full Killer Frost mode is confronted by Savitar, he offers a team up and when she asks why she should work for him he opens his suit to reveal his true face. We of course don't see it but whoever it is makes her instantly trust him. Who is Savitar?!?!
Not a bad episode and I'm glad to have finally seen more of the future. The sad, downtrodden Team Flash was really interesting and I would have liked more of them but back to boring whiny present day!
Arrow S5 Ep19 – 'Dangerous Liaisons'
Just when we thought it was safe to head back to Star City, Arrow throws us another shitty episode. I probably should have said 'spoilers' but I am really starting to lose all patience with this show. It's the Felicity show again (but on the plus side, there were no flashbacks!).
The whole of SCPD, FBI and ARGUS are hunting for Chase and he is leading them on a merry goose chase. After the failed attempt to catch him in the first scene of the episode, that story thread is put aside until the end of the episode. Felicity learns that Helix have a piece of tech that can track specific heartbeats of people. She wants this to track down Chase but in return Helix need her to help them. They need her help to retrieve their commander from ARGUS custody.
Well and truly crossing the line, Felicity helps Helix break through ARGUS security, with people getting hurt along the way. ARGUS bring Team Arrow on to help defend their sites which gives rise to an ethical debate between Diggle and Lyla. He disagrees with keeping people captive without trial and she says being head of ARGUS is a lot more difficulty from her side of the desk. Somehow even though Diggle knew his wife worked for then became the head of a secret government agency, he is surprised that there are some dark areas! This spirals into Diggle questioning their entire marriage!!!
Oliver tried to talk Felicity out of crossing that line but she ignores him, simply saying that he used to be willing to do whatever it took to do the right thing, why should she be any different. She swans off and helps Helix liberate their leader, who remains suspiciously anonymous for the whole episode.
In exchange, they give her the heartbeat tracker and she uses it in the Arrow cave straight away. Predictably, it tells her that Chase is in the cave! Right before the console explodes in her and Oliver's faces!
What are the rest of the Team up to you ask? No? Well I'm going to tell you anyway. Quentin Lance reunites Wild Dog and his daughter (against his wishes) but it inspires him to start the ball rolling on getting her back properly, even though that would be a terrible idea, he kills people at night!!
That's it, you were expecting some other events going on? Well no luck! It was a busy but boring episode and as I said at the beginning I'm losing patience with it. Unless the season goes out with a bang I am seriously considering avoiding the next season. Of course I say that now but I'll no doubt watch it and moan about it some more, but for now I'm just pissed.
The Flash wins this week but only because he finally went Back to the Future! Wooooo! I got it in! It was a close call as none of the shows were great. Here's hoping they will all improve next week (I feel like I say that a lot).

If you're a rogue scientist like me (that is, if you pursue your research outside of academia), then non-governmental organizations — or NGOs — are among the most valuable partner organizations you can have.
Normally unaffiliated with academia, NGOs do essential work in many scientific fields and are a key element in bridging the science-policy gap. Their funding is often tied to a donor base or a family trust, and their work is usually centered around a few key priority areas. They range in size from a one-person operation with a $100,000 budget to a massive institution with a multibillion-dollar endowment.
Working with NGOs can be challenging, frustrating, and rewarding — all at the same time. Unfortunately, doctoral programs rarely provide the professional mentorship to prepare students to successfully navigate the NGO-space. NGOs may want a scientist to do the familiar work of primary research or to offer critical reviews of the field. But they may also be looking for experts who can:
- Provide a policy context for the field.
- Do community outreach and engagement.
- Work with stakeholders.
- Develop novel solutions to real-world problems.
Approaching an NGO looking for new contracts and opportunities can be daunting. I offer here a few key guidelines that can help make the process more manageable.
Breaking into the NGO bubble is all about networking. Love it or hate it, networking is the single most effective way to build relationships with key decision-makers at non-governmental organizations. Often, you're only invited to submit a proposal or a bid to an NGO after someone in a leadership position has decided they want to work with you.
Figure out the names of program directors who work in your specialty — either through the NGO staff directory or through consulting your colleagues. Meet with those directors to learn about their program goals for the next few years. Don't be afraid to drop them an email: Let them know that you're just getting into the field, and ask if they're available for an informational interview.
If an NGO that you want to work with is sponsoring an event — anything from local happy hours to international summits — make sure you attend. Hone your personal pitch, dress professionally and appropriately for the event, and bring your business cards. And be aware, with turnover rates and hiring preferences, there tends to be a lot of jumping between different NGOs, so the junior director you met today may be the senior director of the NGO across the street next year.
Manage your reputation, online and off. It's not enough just to shake hands with program leaders, you also have to have the reputation to back it up. Transitioning from the academic world, you should have a healthy stack of peer-reviewed publications that you can fall back on. Depending on the kind of work you want to do, that may be enough.
However, to really establish yourself as a leader in your chosen discipline, you should have popular science writing in your portfolio, as well as policy work, good outreach, and earned media coverage of your work. An online presence through your own professional website (here's mine) and social media can be very beneficial. If you position yourself as the go-to person for your specific discipline, it will be that much easier for NGOs to track you down.
Understand the NGO funding cycle. Every NGO manages its finances differently. Some have rolling contracts based on needs. Others set budgets at the beginning of the year for each program. Still others create large contracts with known entities who then dole out smaller contracts. Some do all of those simultaneously, some do none.
It does you no good to prep and pitch an incredible project in April if your program director sets the NGO's budget in March. Find out how — and when — an NGO makes financial decisions and tailor your proposals to its schedule.
Be versatile and be accessible. NGOs don't work on an academic timeline. When they're running campaigns, they need people who get the job done. By building a diverse portfolio of field and lab work — as well as presentation, outreach, and report writing — you can maximize your value to a specific NGO. A solid, broad range of skills makes you an invaluable contractor and helps you build relationships with multiple departments and programs. Being capable of taking on large projects on short notice will reliably guarantee that you are the one they turn to when they need something done well in a hurry.
You don't need to limit yourself to a single NGO. In fact, many NGOs don't want to bring you on as a contractor if a single organization is your primary source of income. Stringing together multiple, small-to-mid-level contracts will help you network, build your reputation, gain a better understanding of how different NGOs operate, and build a robust and diverse portfolio. Besides, if they really want you full time, they should hire you.

I survived another calendar year. I re-united with Dan, then dumped his ass. I changed jobs for what I thought was the better, then learned differently. I fell in love all over again with art and writing. I really hope the next calendar year is less stressful and more financially secure. I want to live and not simply exist..that probably will be the overall plan.

The Duke of Sussex has handed out coveted green berets to newly-qualified Royal Marines as they completed their final gruelling test.
Harry, who assumed the role of Captain General Royal Marines from the Duke of Edinburgh in December 2017, visited the base of 42 Commando in Bickleigh, Devon, on Wednesday.
He was driven to nearby Dartmoor, where he saluted and clapped as two recruit troops finished their final Commando Test.
The newly-qualified Marines jogged past Harry on the final stretch of their 30-mile march, carrying loads of 45lbs plus their rifles.
Harry presented the Marines with their green berets, which symbolically mark the end of commando training, before posing for a photograph with the group.
He told them: "This is an enormous privilege for yourselves to get the green beret.
"I am fully aware how lucky I am to be wearing the green beret without doing what you've done.
"For some of you, this is merely the beginning of a very, very long, very wonderful, hopefully, career of opportunities which you would never get anywhere else.
"Enjoy drill tomorrow but also remember that there are other people that haven't managed to make it this far.
"No doubt you will have an opportunity to encourage them. Genuinely, huge congratulations."
Proud parents and family members were waiting at the finish line, along with former Royal Marines and supporters.
One was 96-year-old Knocker White, a former Second World War Marine who often completes the final three miles of the march with recruits.
Former Royal Marine Gareth Evans, 60, watched as his 25-year-old son Huw was handed his green beret by Harry.
Mr Evans, who retired as a sergeant in 1992, said: "I couldn't be prouder.
"It has been a long wait but we knew he would get there and he has."
Marine Evans, from Crediton, Devon, had spent the past two years, two weeks, three days and eight hours training for that moment.
Wearing his green beret for the first time, he said: "It is a long, long time. I am quite emotional.
"It was a really great feeling."
When asked about the march, he said: "You just get through it, you know what's waiting for you at the end."
He said the troop felt "lucky" to have been handed their berets by Harry.
Marine Kieran Castle, 21, from Plymouth, Devon, described the moment he was handed his beret by the prince as "an amazing experience".
"It is quite hard to put into words how I'm feeling right now, it hasn't quite sunk in yet," he said.
"We told him we were exhausted. He said congratulations for our efforts."

PewDiePie has long been considered one of the more controversial YouTubers on the platform, but this time the news about him isn't because he spoke out of turn. Instead, he's in the headlines because he's married his long-term girlfriend Marzia Bisognin.
The pair have been together for eight years, and tied the knot this week at London's picturesque Kew Gardens, surrounded by their friends and family.
Both shared their excitement on social media, with plenty of long-awaited snaps of the dress and the ceremony.
Well-wishes have also poured in from many in the YouTube community, of which PewDiePie – real name Felix Kjellberg – was, until recently, the most subscribed-to star.
Although Felix's popularity has been well-documented, Marzia's own success is not to be eclipsed by that of her new husband.
Here's everything you need to know about her.
Marzia, 26, was born in Arzignano, Italy, on 21 October 1992.
She met PewDiePie in 2011, after a friend recommended she watch his videos, and they started Facebook messaging.
From there, she moved to Sweden so they could live together, and Marzia started her own YouTube channel called CutiePieMarzia.
Although the channel has now been closed, she focused mostly on travel, lifestyle, and fashion, among other topics.
Throughout 2012, the pair lived in Sweden and Italy, before travelling to Los Angeles, and then settling down in Brighton in 2013 – also home of YouTube stars Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes – before getting three dogs together, Maya, Ynk, and Edgar.
From there, she went on to voice act in shows such as Oscar's Hotel for Fantastical Creatures and Pugatory, an online web series about her own dog.
On top of this work, Marzia has been at the helm of a number of successful brands. Since March 2015, Bisognin has launched several lines of fashion and design merchandise including nail polish shades, home decor products, and clothing. Her brands include Lemon, Amore, and Maì.

In the film, which won the star the Best Actor Academy Award at Sunday's (27Feb11) ceremony, Firth's stuttering monarch George VI is seen learning to overcome his speech issues by pronouncing rude words.
Officials at the Motion Picture Association of America's ratings board recently gave producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein permission to release a new family-friendly version alongside the existing R-rated version in cinemas at the same time.
But Firth has slammed the move - insisting the film should not be changed as the swear words aren't used in a "vicious" way.
He tells the Associated Press, "I don't take this stuff lightly, but in the context of this film, it could not be more edifying, more appropriate. It's not vicious, it's not an insult or it's not in any of the contexts which might offend people.
"Really, it's about a man who's trying to free himself through the use of certain words. I still haven't met the person who would object, so I think the film should stand as it is."

Double gold medallist Rachel Morris inspires Belvedere children
PUBLISHED: 16:41 08 May 2019
A paralympic double gold medallist was at a school to tell the youngsters that everything is possible with the right attitude.
Rachel Morris was at Belvedere Junior School as the ambassador of the Great to be Me campaign created with the aim of promoting positive body-image and self-talk amongst children.
The double Paralympic Gold medalist for hand-cycling will support and encourage Belvedere pupils to develop self-confidence and self-belief, as well as nurture kind and accepting attitudes towards themselves and one another.
With growing national awareness and concern around the importance of both mental and physical health, Belvedere Junior School has launched its own campaign to promote healthy and positive attitudes amongst its community of pupils and staff.
'Great To Be Me' is a positive health campaign being launched across The Pioneer Academy's community of schools.
You may also want to watch:
Rachel said: "I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Belvedere Junior School working with children and helping them to see their future and that dreams can be achievable.
"I worked with them on self-esteem and helping a group to understand how they have many other ways of understanding themselves when things are really challenging.
"I felt extremely honoured that the children engaged with me, all of them entered the activities and joined in. It was wonderful to see some of those transferrable skills developing within the children as they explored new ideas.
"I feel passionately that for children, especially those who struggle with challenging circumstances, for example socially as a result of disabilities or mental health, sport can help create the time and space in which they can feel safe to talk; to be cared about and to feel understood.
"This can then be further developed by using sport in the physical sense, to help them understand their bodies, develop their self-awareness as an individual, enhance their teamwork skills, and so many other concepts which have parallels or translate into their everyday lives."
Pupils listened to Rachel's assembly and her inspiring story, with a group of Year 5 and 6 pupils joining Rachel afterwards for a focused workshop on developing self-esteem and resilience.

* HY core profit up 44%
* Company to focus on controlling costs
* Full year outlook unchanged
* Expects 2020 output to decline (Adds detail, analyst, Fitch, shares)
Aug 22 (Reuters) - Chilean miner Antofagasta Plc delivered slightly better than expected half-year profit as it reined in costs to cope with lower copper prices, which have been hit by softer Chinese demand and the drawn-out Sino-U.S. trade dispute.
The copper producer posted core earnings of $1.31 billion, up 44% on the year and just beating analysts' average forecast of $1.29 billion as costs came in slightly lower than expected.
The company said it was striving to offset the impact of lower copper prices, which have fallen 4% this year.
"The uncertainty caused by the continuing trade negotiations between the USA and China has had a significant negative impact on market sentiment and copper prices," the company said.
Net cash costs fell 22% year-on-year in the first half to $1.19 per pound, helped by an ongoing drive to make savings and boost productivity, as well as higher output, a rise in by-product revenues and a weaker Chilean peso, Antofagasta said.
It sees full-year net cash costs at $1.25 per pound.
Shares in the FTSE 100 company slipped as much 3.8% in early trading, but had pared losses to trade down 0.3% at 816.6 pence as of 1040 GMT in a largely flat London market.
The stock has fallen 13% in a turbulent few weeks for global markets due largely to concerns over the trade dispute's impact on global growth and commodity prices. It is still higher for the year and outperforming the FTSE's mining index.
The company stuck to its full year output forecast, but said it expected copper production to decline in 2020 towards 2018 levels due to a reduction in grades at its Centinela mine. It anticipates the decline will be partially reversed in 2021.
"Antofagasta remains the best positioned of the European copper pure plays," said Edward Sterck, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
Its strong balance sheet, quality of assets and operational performance, along with consistently high shareholder returns over time, justifies its higher price compared with its peers, Sterck said.
A report by ratings agency Fitch on Wednesday said growth in copper demand in China would only modestly recover from current levels as the car and consumer sectors, where a large portion of the metal is used, struggle for growth in 2020.
Antofagasta's revenue rose 19% to $2.53 billion, in line with analysts' expectations, which had predicted costs of $1.20 per pound, according to a company-compiled consensus of 15 estimates. (Reporting by Yadarisa Shabong in Bengaluru; Editing by Rashmi Aich and Mark Potter)

Impending motherhood has been a much needed wake up call for my devotional life. I have always struggled to be consistent in this area of my life, and when things get busy it can often be the first thing that gets forgotten. However, recently in church there have been many mentions made to the beauty of intimacy with Christ and how that intimacy comes simply from sitting with Jesus. Together, my awareness of the huge life change ahead, and the voice of my Lord calling me to spend time with Him have resulted in some great quiet times.
I have been reflecting on the passages we have been studying on Sundays and feeling as though the Lord has been unpacking them even more to make them a personal daily lesson.
In the midst of all that is going on in life today and all the changes that are ahead, I am seeing more and more that these times are vital to my survival! I need quiet time. I need to give over my day to the plans God has. I want to know I am going through the events of the day in God's strength and not my own and I love that I can feel confident in His grace for the times I mess up.
As we sang in church this week, the song 'Artist of Heaven' rang out a new truth. As my body is getting more uncomfortable, ankles beginning to swell after standing too long and low blood pressure causing dizziness and hot flashes it can be easy to forget the miracle that pregnancy is. Each baby is knitted together in perfection, in the image of God. What is happening in my body is a miracle and I am beyond blessed to have been chosen for this miraculous adventure. There is a line in the song that says, "Artist of Heaven, alive in me" and as this little boy kicks and rolls making my tummy turn incredible shapes I want to always be reminded of God's hand and design in this creation. I had always heard that line in terms of my own life and how God was working to create something through my life, which is still true, but in this new, pregnant season it took on a whole new meaning too.
So today, I am appreciating the work of majestic artistry squirming around in my belly, and I am taking the charge to make today one of beauty and intentionality for me too, Happy Wednesday to you all x

Apple iPhone 5S Display Leaked
A new iPhone model appears nigh, as leaked images of the reported device continue to surface.
On Tuesday, new images of what is speculated to be the display of the iPhone 5S were published by Mac Rumors. From an outward design perspective, the iPhone 5S doesn't appear all that different from its predecessor, but according to these recent images, Apple may have a lot more going on under the hood.
The images reveal a change to the iPhone panel's design, which allow it to fit on the tweaked logic board from the new 5S. In accordance with earlier images originally leaked from BGR, it seems that the new iPhone will undergo an internal overhaul, which could possibly make room for the long-rumored fingerprint scanner that the iPhone 5S is expected to house.
The iPhone 5S is currently expected to be released sometime later this year.

Potential future Troubles Experiencing Medical Care Operations
Healthcare is identified as the remedy and protection against illness as well as other physical and mental impairment in man. On the flip side, medical administration certainly is the field relating to authority, relief and management of consumer wellness methods, medical units and medical facility sites. Health care is generally employed by competent professionals that tend to have a whole period perception of man wellness. In most developed countries, the health-related areas incorporates anything from 10% to in excess of 20Per cent of this economy so that it is on the list of largest sized sectors in every region.http://premiumessays.co.uk/ As with any other pro area, medical care is confronted by both equally most recent and long term difficulties in organization. Many of these foreseeable future issues are discussed in this essay. Limited health and wellness sources is often a serious problem confronting the medical care managing in a great many regions on the planet. A number of these significant methods required in healthcare are; medications, syringes, magnifying units, by-ray pieces of equipment and a lot more. Lots of world wide healthcare companies might take the initiative to raise and expound their health related devices but owing to insufficient entry to adequate health-related sources, it forces folks to feel that these businesses have failed to feature outstanding assistance on the clientele and therefore actually being put through to provide a faltering market. Directors in these market sectors with their professionalism and trust tries to respond to these cases but all in vein. This will make the supervision inside health care industries surface incompetent.
Market change is an additional major problem in most of the state market sectors for any region. Inhabitants has remarkably amplified not too long ago. The rise is quite unstable in line with the internet surveys made most recently (Dwivedi, A. N., and R. K. Bali 2005, 68). It is then troublesome not just in the handling of health care industries along with towards federal government with the allocation of your nationwide methods to the areas. The operations in your medical market sectors realizes it difficult with the setting up of the future progress of the category because of this volatile adjustments in populace. For example the united states government might possibly attempt to create a clinic within a particular place using a specified recognised populace. After a few years the populace from the place grows to just about double of your first. This results in being highly hectic from the management of the improved human population within that community. An effective case is the dark-colored continent Africa. The populace in Africa has grown significantly which make it challenging for heath care treatment treatment to supply quality well being offerings.
The level of technological innovation can be just about the most vital and reliable things in medical management. With new and challenging new developments having to take good condition within the global sphere, it is an important issue within the health related treatment. Scientific innovations have forced the directors to go away associated with the existing designed options for managing certain cervices. So, the health-related control have to commit a great deal of their serious amounts of information in coaching for them to get hold of new competitive knowledge to line up by themselves while using innovations at your disposal. This technical technology is available in palm with additional costs on the health care sectors (Ellis, Janice Rider, and Celia Appreciate Hartley 2012,102). Therefore compelling the relief to help improve the cost of offerings accessible to the subjects . It becomes a challenge for the reason that men and women usually want to be charged inexpensively for just a excellent physical health system. The managing faces situations in persuasive the affected individuals the viability of increasing the cost of the help because of growing electronic inventions.
Switching buyer presumptions is where the consumers' presumptions when it comes to health-related assistance multiply continuously as decades is going by. With new developments in medical operations, customers desire new and better assistance than their mother and father managed. They are not content and articles to always be indirect people of healthcare, advised and dispensed by companies at their benefit. Comfortable with through increasing pick and sovereignty in moves in other areas of everyday life. They be ready to be consulted, knowledgeable and included by medical providers in almost any selections affecting their health. They really are knowledgeable around the correct time, cured expensively and because of this has grown expenses during the health-related solutions which makes it tough to approach at some point.
Therefore, the difficulties inside healthcare managing, is the greatest hindrance from the development of heath treatment throughout the world. These troubles have stimulated stagnantation in the necessary innovations throughout these areas. The government authorities of the state the world ought to intercede and assist the medical organization in compacting these problems thus developing medical solutions across the globe. Amazing and outstanding marketplace medical firms really should make the effort in including the two nationwide and intercontinental medical care expert services. This should help with improving the understanding in the medical supervision in each an element of the earth on account of the regular socialization of your health and wellness masters from unique nations of the globe. This really is given that united we stand and divided up we fall season.
