It's Montenegro's title – Euro 2012 ends with a classic final
At some point this stopped being just a match between the two best teams in the tournament and became the kind of experience every sports fan dreams about. This match had everything: it had double extra time and in each period of that there was a reffing controversy, it had a lead that changed hands, momentum that swung and, in the end, it had heroes.
Those heroes could be found throughout the Montenegro side. From the goalkeeper Sonja Barjaktarovic who played the full eighty minutes and made 17 saves to Milena Knezevic who found the net 10 times, and then there was Katarina Bulatovic who was on court for over an hour and whose own performance summed up that of her team: bruised, defiant, victorious.
But on the losing side too, there were some great performances. Anja Edin, again, was a focus for so much in defence and attack although she'll be disappointed with only a 4/10 shooting return and Ida Alstad led with 11 goals, including three in the second half of the first period of extra time to overturn what had looked like an unassailable Norwegian lead. But some players were muted, in particular, Linn Jorum Sulland could only manage three goals from eight shots.
At the final hooter, Heidi Loke remonstrated with the officials for her two minute suspension which had been the catalyst for Montenegro's final, final charge for the title – but then Montenegro could counter that but for the very harsh two minutes given to Katarina Bulatovic in the first extra time there would have been no opportunity for Alstad's equalising heroics.
Type 'Montenegro' into google news right now and all you see is women's handball. There is nothing else on the ticker. Perhaps the place closes on Sunday. What isn't in doubt is how much this means to both the players on the court and the nation they represent.
And that's before the impact on women's handball that somebody, at last, has beaten Norway.
If you feel up to it, you can watch it all again here:
Euro 2012 final today. Anybody betting against Norway?
If it's all getting a bit predictable it's also getting a bit more impressive each time. Norway will once again contest a major final as favourites and this time they do so having destroyed Hungary with one of the most dominant performances they will ever have produced against quality opposition. Midway through the first half of their semi final they overturned a 10:7 deficit with a 9:2 run of scoring and then utterly controlled the second half. They could rotate the bench, showboat in attack and when Katrine Lunde Haraldsen took a whack in the face in the act of saving (one of 11 saves she made) they could relax in the knowledge that she could leave the court unworried. Anja Edin was strong in both attack and defence and Heidi Loke looked like the world's greatest player but, terrifyingly, neither of them looked head and shoulders above their colleagues, quality-wise.I'd backed Norway to win by 2. They won by 11.
The other semi final, on the other hand, was a copper-bottomed classic as neighbours and former sharers of a sole identity Serbia and Montenegro did battle. It was a tough match with plenty of bite, especially on the fringes of the D but it was also a game whose outcome was never certain until the end.
Serbia led 14:13 at the break and with a bit of luck and concentration would have had a greater advantage. They had themselves come back from 9:5 down. The bullets fired by Biljana Filipovic inspiring yet another great team performance. Montenegro dug deep, played the refs to the limit and produced some smart shooting of their own – Milana Kzenevic finishing with 9 goals. In the end the team with greater depth pulled away and just held on.
In today's final the crowd won't be an issue and but on head to head Norway look just too strong. A Montenegro victory would be a beautiful result but they will need to work the refs effectively and shut down Norway in every aspect of the game – and do that for 60 minutes. Norway can always go to Plan B, then C, D and E as required. The bookies have Norway at 9/20 to win … but for all I think Norway should win if I were to place a bet I might be tempted to go for Montenegro.
My prediction, for what it's worth, is Norway by 2. The match starts at 3pm (UK) – live on YouTube with commentary from the always excellent Paul Bray.
Time to get serious at Euro 2012. It's semi finals day …
From now on in Euro 2012, everything matters. Today sees the semi finals and tomorrow the final. We've come a long way together but now our journey is at an end. Norway and Montenegro face Hungary and Serbia respectively. There is intrigue, drama and a whiff of the political ahead.Norway lost their last group match with Denmark coming from behind in the second half to win 35:33. This will have no bearing on today's game. The same is also true of Hungary's loss to Russia. Both rested players and took to the court with one eye on the semi final. It no doubt hurt to lose but it will hurt more today.
In Katrine Lunde Haraldsen and Éva Kiss we have, statistically, the two best keepers in the tournament. It's worth noting that Kiss is the Hungarian 'second' keeper behind Orsolya Herr in terms of tournament shots faced. Hungary have varied between using one keeper for virtually the whole match to a more even rotation – when concentration and stamina are such core requirements as against Norway I expect to see both keepers employed evenly. Haraldsen will presumably be glued to the Norway goal. So, solid keeping will need to be backed up by Gibraltar-rock defence. And, in Hungary's case, the need to foul relentlessly. They will need to neutralise Linn Jorum Sulland, Heidi Loke and the rest. And somehow stop the fast-breaks. Their own attack will also need to be operating on a level it's not always achieved this tournament and they must surely need a stand-out performance from Anita Görbicz who has so far scored only 14 times from open play in six games.
My prediction is that Norway will win by 2.
Meanwhile the other match sees what would have been a domestic dispute played out as a proper international. Serbia face Montenegro. The partisan home favourites against the Olympic silver-medallists. In exactly the same way as the Serb men over-achieved in their own tournament earlier this year so the women have come together and found ways to win matches. They don't possess any notable stars who dominate the others but play well as a team, even without their coach reaching out to grab attractive opponents. Their win over France (without which they could not have qualified) featured a 52% save ratio from Katarina Tomašević and they will need something similar today – and combine that with the same 'grind out' approach. It may not be pretty. Montenegro have Euro 2012's top scorer in Katarina Bulatović backed up by Jovanka Radicevic. The way for them to win would seem to be to play to their offensive strengths, draw as many defensive fouls as possible and leave Serbia with too much to do. I expect random acts of violence from both teams.
My prediction is that Montenegro will win by 3.
Both matches are live over on YouTube. Norway v Hungary starts at 1.30pm (UK) and Serbia v Montenegro is at 4pm. It all takes place at the 20,000 capacity Kombank Arena in Belgrade.
Women's Youth World Championship – Quarter final review
The day of the quarter finals ended in high drama with the match between Sweden and Russia being settled at the very end of extra time by two penalties. Both were legitimate (as much as you can tell in real time on an internet stream) but that didn't stop the sense of injustice for the victims. Sweden were the unlucky ones – going down 31:30 after a compelling match. They chose often to defend with five on the line and one out blocking – and in extra time the Russians exploited that gap. There really wasn't much to choose between them though and this really was a high quality game.
The most one-sided of the quarter finals was, possibly surprisingly, the one between France and Norway. The Norwegians owned a 17:5 half time lead and could afford to only win the second half by a goal, running out 32:19 winners. In the other matches, the non-European adventure is over as Japan couldn't hold a half time lead against Denmark, losing 25:31 and Romania were too strong throughout for Hungary.
The semi finals will be played on 25 August and will be Romania v Denmark and Russia v Norway.
Update from the Women's Youth World Championships
As we enter the last couple of blocks of games there are still five quarter places up for grabs with only Sweden, Romania and France having confirmed their passage, although if, as expected, Russia beat Kazakhstan tonight they will be in the last eight and Montenegro, the hosts, will be playing for placings only.
Last night, Montenegro had a great chance to put their destiny in their own hands. They led Romania 14-9 at the break and led well into the latter stages before their structure collapsed and their shooting became more wild. Romania won 24-22 in the end and celebrated as if the title was theirs, rather than a place in the knock out stages.
Elsewhere Paraguay, Kazakhstan, DR Congo, Czech Republic, Uruguay and Portugal are now playing for pride.
There are four matches today, one from each group (all times UK):
17:15 Paraguay v Hungary; Kazakhstan v Russia
19:30 Czech Republic v Denmark; Portugal v Norway
And they can be seen live here.
All eyes on Montenegro for the Women's Youth World Championship
Still want to see some reasonably top-level handball in the narrow window between the end of the Olympics and the start of the club season? Well, cast your internet feed in the direction of Montenegro as the official site of the IHF Women's Youth World Championship will be live-streaming the games from this year's competition which starts today.
There have been three iterations of this tournament so far and, remarkably, the nine medals available in that time have been won by eight different countries with only Denmark (winners in 2006, bronze in 2008) claiming two. The current holders are Sweden whereas France have lost in the bronze medal match in every single edition of the tournament.
Twenty countries are competing this time around beginning with a round-robin of four groups of five with the top two in each progressing to the quarter finals. Day 1 sees eight matches, most of which are probably foregone conclusions (e.g. Netherlands are 1/5000 to beat Paraguay) but the match between Portugal and Angola (1500 BST) looks intriguing. As for who will win the tournament I'm going for the hosts who seem to have a slightly easier group than some other big-name countries and will then fly to the final inspired by the exploits of their senior counterparts in London.
And France will lose the bronze medal match as that's the law in these championships.

Norway takes the gold
Pre-tournament favourites Norway in the end proved too strong for a tenacious Montenegro side in the women's final last night. The medal was Montenegro's first-ever Olympic medal. Norway struggled to find their rhythm – missing more shots from open play than they scored – but in the end had too much class and emerged 26:23 winners.
The bronze medal match was a classic. Two periods of extra time were required to separate South Korea and Spain after the Koreans converted a fast-break half a second too late to take the match in normal time. The final score was 31:29 to Spain as the Koreans notably tired throughout the four demanding periods of additional time.
So, the final standings are:
GOLD – Norway, SILVER – Montenegro, BRONZE – Spain

Having the right checklist is important. Depending on the type of vehicle inspections you're doing you may want a checklist designed for detail or a shorter one designed for speed. InspectARide comes with several checklists already setup that give you a great starting point. Some inspectors will use these exactly as they are without making any changes whereas others will want to start from scratch and build their own. InspectARide has you covered either way.
Setting up your own checklist is easy. You can modify an existing one or start a brand new one. You decide what Rating terms to use, how many sections you want in it, and how many inspection points you want. Once your checklist is created it can automatically be sent for use to your mobile device(s).
Our checklist creator is easy to use, but we know there are things that we can do to make it even better. We're very excited to see how it evolves over time!

Sponsors love fashion designers. They want to be associated with glamour. Just look at London Fashion Week, sponsored by the likes of Blackberry, Coutts and British Airways. Or New York Fashion Week, sponsored by Mercedes Benz and others. Sponsorships are a great way to finance your brand's fashion show.
How do you get someone to pay you money to be associated with something as intangible as your brand?
The first time doing this is always the most difficult, but below are some tricks that you can use to drastically increase your chances of being successful in the endeavor.
Plan your fashion show
The first step is having a plan that's as concrete as possible. Know exactly how it will be, what your budgets will be, etc. It is unlikely that you'll have every detail planned, but do a realistic budget which gives you an idea of how much sponsorship you need to raise.
This is as much for your own sake as for the sponsor's sake. It will give you the confidence to go out and know exactly how much you need to ask for.
Research sponsors
Now that you have a plan for how to proceed it's time to find the sponsor. This is where many people give up. Where should you start? A great place to start is to look at who is sponsoring your competitors' shows. In some cases one company will sponsor a number of shows and you can approach them. This is easiest because they already know how it works and realise the benefits since they already done sponsorships.
This is not always possible. For a start, companies only have limited sponsorship budgets and they might well be tied up with your competitors already. A clever trick is to approach the competitors of whoever sponsors other fashion labels. For example, if Champagne house X sponsors shows, approach Champagne house Y with a proposal. Even if you have never worked with a sponsor before, you can point to the benefits enjoyed by X as proof that this really works.
Negotiating with sponsors
This is the point at which you really have to show that you know what you're doing. Approach them with a clear proposal and make it as easy as possible for them to write you a cheque. Writing sponsorship proposals is an art in itself
Figure out what they want and give it to them. What's important to them? What type of prominence can you give to their brand? Be careful of giving them too much, you don't want every single photo of your show to be plastered over with the sponsor's logo. On the other hand the sponsor has to feel like they're getting their money's worth for the sponsorship.
Corporate sponsors love getting free tickets to fashion shows so that their executives can take their partners along to a glamorous evening. They like when there's going to be a lot of press around. They like it when there are lots of 'influencers' who might have a positive impact on their brand. All these things matter. Do a quick breakdown of who will be there.
Getting the sponsor's money
After focusing on what you have to offer them, move on to what you need from them. If you have done a good job of selling the benefits in the above step, this will be much easier and the sponsor will actually want to give you the money.
To avoid a deadlock it's a good idea to have a few different scenarios planned. For example, if you pay us £10,000, you'll get your logo on invitations, logo on a backdrop to the catwalk, etc.
A great trick is to start with presenting a very expensive option. If this proves to be too much for the sponsor's budget, you can move on to alternative scenarios for less money and less exposure.
Following up with your sponsor
This is a step that fashion labels often neglect after taking sponorship. After the show, you should put together a brief presentation pack with pictures, press coverage of the show and the like. This will allow the person dealing with the sponsorship to justify the expense to his superiors. The better this look the better your chances of getting repeat sponsorship from that sponsor and the easier it becomes to approach new sponsors in the future!

Before the 2019 InterAct Class Summit in Nashville was even over, we were already excitedly planning 2020! But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's take a quick look back at the incredible presenters, attendees, and staff that made 2019 possible. We had nearly 400 participants from all backgrounds—teachers, caregivers, mentors, coaches, trainers, implementation leaders, administrators, assessors, researchers, and more. However, their common passion for improving classroom interactions and empowering life-changing teachers was evident.
Teachstone is celebrating Week of the Young Child hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We'll be posting articles, videos, activities, and more all week on Facebook and Twitter.
For Tasty Tuesday, we've found a few healthy recipes for every mealtime, including dessert. These recipes are easy to assemble and make, and your early learners can help out as well. What are your favorite healthy recipes?
I have a confession to make—I'm a social media junkie. I had to go through a 12-step program to cure my Facebook habit. I had a short relapse, but I was able to kick it again. I tried Twitter years ago, but that just wasn't for me. Pinterest is just straight up evil. I've planned two weddings, a total remodel of a home, and a trip to Hawaii. None of these things is ever going to happen, but Pinterest has robbed me of about 400 hours of time that I put into these nonexistent projects. Instagram is one of those things that I can take or leave.
Can you match the teaching scenario to a CLASS dimension? Take this fun quiz to find out how many you can correctly match.
The 2018 InterAct Class Summit was a great success! Participants came from all backgrounds--teachers, caregivers, mentors, coaches, trainers, administrators, and more. The passion, warmth, and desire to learn were clear in every session, meal, conversation, and interaction!
We may be busy at our InterAct Summit this week, but we're also celebrating the Week of the Young Child hosted by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Each day has a theme and Thursday is Artsy Thursday. Artsy Thursday asks you to think, problem solve, and create.
The 2018 InterAct CLASS Summit is less than a week away! The badges are made, boxes are packed, and swag bags are ready. We're very excited. Now is also a good time to do a little reflecting. I reached out to LuAnn LaCava, who attended the 2017 InterAct Summit, to learn about her experience and perspective. LuAnn has been involved in early childhood education since 1987. After spending 13 years in a preschool classroom she became a curriculum specialist and is now coaching Head Start and Early Head Start staff.
Our third annual InterAct CLASS Summit is just around the corner and we couldn't be more excited. This year, we're gearing up for our biggest event yet, with more CLASS educators than ever before. But event attendance is certainly not the only thing that is improving. Here are a few exciting new aspects of the Summit for this year:
Of course every CLASS Observation Training covers the same material, but every trainer puts their unique spin on it. Find out what your strength is as a CLASS trainer. Take our fun quiz to find out what yours is!

In his journals, Jack Kerouac recalled riding on a bus through North Dakota in 1949, when snow and ice brought the highway to a halt. From a nearby town came "crews of eager young men" who "pitched in" through the "attritive, swirling, arctic-like night." Kerouac was struck by their selflessness, their willingness to help strangers of whom they had "no need." "Where in the effete-thinking East," he wrote, "would men work for others, for nothing, at midnight in howling freezing gales?" He concluded with a koan of sorts. "Men work against each other only when it is safe to abandon men — only when and where."
Kerouac was, in essence, asking a favorite question of social psychologists: Under what conditions are people willing to help others? Urbanites, or the social dynamics of urbanism, have been particularly implicated in these inquiries, whether by "diffusion of responsibility" — the more people who are around, the less any one person feels compelled to act — or "information overload," the idea that city people must filter and limit what they take in, including appeals for help.
But every so often comes a moment when the normal rules of life are suspended, when some kind of force brings suffering, deprivation or, at the very least, extreme inconvenience. Given the normal travails of city life, one might reasonably expect the social fabric to rend. But ask any New Yorker about, say, the blackout of 2003, and you're likely to get not a shudder of horror but wistful reminiscences about people spontaneously directing traffic when the signals went dark.
As Rebecca Solnit documents in "A Paradise Built in Hell," a landmark work that gives an impassioned challenge to the social meaning of disasters, this same sort of positive feeling has emerged in far more precarious circumstances, from the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 to Hurricane Katrina. Disasters, for Solnit, do not merely put us in view of apocalypse, but provide glimpses of utopia. They do not merely destroy, but create. "Disasters are extraordinarily generative," she writes. As the prevailing order — which she elliptically characterizes as advanced global capitalism, full of anomie and isolation — collapses, another order takes shape: "In its place appears a reversion to improvised, collaborative, cooperative and local society." These "disaster communities" represent something akin to the role William James claimed for "the utopian dreams" of social justice: "They help to break the general reign of hardness, and are slow leavens of a better order."
Solnit is an exemplar of that perpetually endangered species, the free-ranging public intellectual, bound to no institution or academic orthodoxy. As in her previous works — most notably "River of Shadows," a study of the photographer Eadweard Muybridge that opens out into a consideration of time, motion and the American West — there is here a wonderful confluence of unexpected connections. And so we find James, teaching at Stanford University at the time of the 1906 earthquake, wading into the rubble. He was struck by two things: one was the "rapidity of the improvisation of order out of chaos"; the second was that "the pathetic way of feeling great disasters belongs rather to the point of view of people at a distance."
But the heroism of ordinary people is only part of Solnit's study. The larger, and more troubling, questions that emerge in "A Paradise Built in Hell" concern our tendency to assume that people will not act this way and the official responses that come out of this belief.
A meta-narrative governing official response to the various disasters Solnit examines, from the industrial explosion that devastated Halifax in 1917 to the Mexico City earthquake of 1985 to New York on 9/11, is that cities wracked by disaster need to be protected from rampaging mobs, that government needs to suppress the panicked masses and save the day. But as Solnit illustrates, through an absorbing study of the academic subfield of "disaster sociology," these Hobbesian (and Hollywood) beliefs are seldom true.
First, official emergency responders are rarely the first people to respond to an emergency. Second, the central command-and-control model often misinterprets the reality on the ground. Third, the hero motif neglects the role of social capital, a soft-power variable that is played down in disaster management but which might help answer such interesting questions as why Cuba, in contrast to its neighbors (including the United States), responds so well to hurricanes, or why the 2003 New York City blackout was calm while its 1977 equivalent was not.
Lastly, there's the panic myth. A sociologist who set out to research panic in disasters found it was a "vanishingly rare phenomenon," with cooperation and rational behavior the norm. More typically, panic comes from the top — hence the reaction of officials during the Three Mile Island evacuation: "They're afraid people are going to panic," another disaster scholar notes, "so they hold the information close to the vest about how much trouble the reactor is in," putting the public in greater danger. A weightier charge by the disaster sociologists, one echoed by Solnit, is that "elites fear disruption of the social order, challenges to their legitimacy." Thus, Solnit argues, the official response in 1906 San Francisco — where the subsequent fire caused more damage than the quake — kept volunteers "who might have supplied the power to fight the fire by hand" away, relying instead on "reckless technological tactics." In the aftermath of Katrina, there were myriad accounts of paramedics being kept from delivering necessary medical care in various parts of the city because of false reports of violence. Whether this was elites defending against challenges to their legitimacy or simple incompetence is unclear; as Solnit observes, the "monolith of the state" is actually a collection of agencies whose coordination may be illusory.
A particular problem in modern disasters is that many people get information from a different kind of first responder: the media. Solnit argues that the exaggerated accounts of lawlessness in New Orleans, circulated in Mobius fashion by elected leaders and some reporters, obscured — and even discouraged — the far more common acts of altruism. Her description of looting as mostly vital "requisitioning" may be optimistic, but she is right to question the moral calculus that seems so often to put property in front of people in disasters. For all the talk of violent mobs, she argues that "no evidence exists that anyone was shot or killed by the supposed gangs," and in one of the most unsettling sections, she cites testimony from self-styled white vigilantes who boasted of killing African-Americans. This may or may not be true, but for many it is the myths of the Superdome that endure.
For all its power, "A Paradise Built in Hell" leaves a number of questions unresolved. How are disaster communities, here romantically depicted as harbingers of utopia, different from other forms of spontaneous and deeply felt community operating under real or perceived duress, from combat units to millenarian cults? If the worst events can bring out the best in people, why can't that impulse be sustained in everyday life? As Solnit notes, "the real question is not why this brief paradise of mutual aid and altruism appears but rather why it is ordinarily overwhelmed by another world order." Is it, as Solnit too glancingly notes, the "conundrum we call human nature"? In a fascinating aside, she considers the traditional Carnival, described by Mikhail Bakhtin as the "temporary liberation . . . from the established order," and compares it to the communities created in disaster. As heady as it can be, would Carnival feel so energizing if it were the norm, and not the brief subversion of that norm?

Had a telephonic round where the interviewer did not really ask me anything technical. Had a second round with the client manager and he asked me perhaps 2 technical questions. The first round was with a person who later became my obnoxious colleague. The client manager was a sensible person from the client org but he seemed to have selected people with zero experience also later on so I expect he takes a cut from the hiring company and as long as you are somewhat able to convey your ideas, you will be taken.

Apple has released iTunes for Windows. I've read about this on at least a dozen major tech or weblogging sites this week. Everyone has announced that this happened and hell hath frozen over, but I have yet to come across an article or explanation why Windows users should switch to iTunes. Is iTunes alot better than the available mp3 players for Windows? If so, cool. I'll switch to the free player, if someone could just tell me why it's better.
I'm sure I'm missing something. And RIAA songs at 99 cents a piece can't be it.
Or is this all a load of marketing hype?
All I can find are stories warning me to stay away. These two (1, 2) accounts (via waxy.org) describe iTunes rearranging the entire mp3 collection to its own orthodoxy. Ack, that would make my slimp3 player unhappy.
A positive (though rather cursory) review:
Disclaimer: This is based on about two days of iTuning at work. Also, I am not an mp3 Jedi.
The 5 star rating system is nice for people like me who listen to my entire music collection on shuffle and would like a way to say "uh, I guess I grew out of that one so I'd rather not hear it again for awhile" without removing it from my official library.
It has volume averaging built in (an optional feature that makes all songs roughly the same volume), which was a big plus for me.
The filter/search box is cool, it automatically filters your library using all info (name, album, genre, etc) at once in real time (the list changes as you type)--very cool for finding a particular song or artist.
I'm not sure if it's just the novelty of something new but I really like the user interface--overall much better than winamp, cleaner than windows media player and more of the features I want than realone (like I don't have to use a fricking menu to turn shuffle on and off). It looks cool, has neat little gingerbready features (like optional fade-in/out from one song to the next = no dead air). For now, I'm sold. I could see Apple becoming a pretty serious player in the general PC software market.
Finally, I just ordered an iPod so iTunes is a natural choice...
P.S. I think you can turn off the mp3 reorganization "feature".
I give this one a big "I was wrong" label. The new slimp3 server integrates with iTunes. iTunes is the easiest tool I've used to edit id3 tags and the slimp3 picks those right up. Everything stays organized and I can stream iTunes playlists without any intermediate steps.
I like it.

Physicists create world's smallest incandescent lamp
Washington, May 7 (ANI): A team from the UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) Department of Physics and Astronomy has created the world's smallest incandescent lamp.
The team that developed the lamp was led by Chris Regan, a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA, and includes Yuwei Fan, Scott Singer and Ray Bergstrom.
The UCLA team is using their tiny lamp to study physicist Max Planck's black-body radiation law, which was derived in 1900 using principles now understood to be native to both theories.
The incandescent lamp utilizes a filament made from a single carbon nanotube that is only 100 atoms wide.
To the unaided eye, the filament is completely invisible when the lamp is off, but it appears as tiny point of light when the lamp is turned on.
Even with the best optical microscope, it is only just possible to resolve the nanotube's non-zero length.
To image the filament's true structure, the team uses an electron microscope capable of atomic resolution.
With less than 20 million atoms, the nanotube filament is both large enough to apply the statistical assumptions of thermodynamics and small enough to be considered as a molecular - that is, quantum mechanical - system.
"Because both the topic (black-body radiation) and the size scale (nano) are on the boundary between the two theories, we think this is a very promising system to explore," Regan said.
"The carbon nanotube that is used as the lamp filament is ideal for their purposes because of its smallness and extraordinary temperature stability," he added.
The UCLA research team's light bulb is very similar to Thomas Edison's, except that their filament is 100,000 times narrower and 10,000 times shorter, for a total volume only one one-hundred-trillionth that of Edison's. (ANI)

It is also in talks with French airport developer Paris Aeroport to sell up to 49% of GMR Airports, the holding firm for its airports business, for an estimated Rs 10,000 crore ($1.5 billion), The Economic Times reported citing people familiar with the development.
The move is part of GMR's efforts to monetise the airport portfolio, deleverage its balance sheet and provide an exit to existing investors, the report said.
AirAsia, Vistara look to expand after aviation rules eased
AirAsia India and Vistara, the airline ventures of Tata group, are looking to increase their fleet size to 20 aircraft within a year and launch international services after the government revised the aviation policy, The Times of India reported citing sources privy to the development.
The move comes after the government announced changes in its so-called '5/20' policy, removing a restriction that airlines have to operate within India for five years before they can fly overseas. However, they must still deploy 20 aircraft or 20 percent of total capacity in India, whichever is higher.
Vistara and AirAsia India will prioritise services to the Gulf and flights to Southeast Asia to connect with their investors Singapore Airlines and AirAsia, the report said. Vistara and AirAsia commenced operations in June 2014 and January 2015, respectively.
FinMin, RBI eye to float two special funds for stressed assets
The finance ministry and the Reserve Bank of India are considering to float two special funds to resurrect troubled investments via equity infusion or more debt funds, The Economic Times reported citing people privy to the development.
The two funds proposed are Stressed Assets Equity Fund (SAEF) and Stressed Assets Lending Fund (SALF). The corpus of these two funds will be fluid and will take case-specific action.
While SAEF will invest in equity of stressed borrowers and may take a controlling stake either directly or through strategic debt restructuring scheme, SALF will provide last-mile funding or working capital to assets in trouble because of funding constraints.
IOC may buy 37.5% stake in JV to manage fuel facilities at airports
Indian Oil Corp Ltd may pick a controlling 37.5% stake in a proposed joint venture to manage fuelling facilities at all airports controlled by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), The Economic Times reported citing sources privy to the development.
While the AAI may buy a quarter stake, Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd and Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd are likely to have 18.75% each in the proposed JV.
The proposed venture will oversee about one-third of aviation fuel business in India. The remaining business is at Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, where either private airports solely or in separate joint ventures with state oil firms manage the fuelling facilities.
Reliance Industries Ltd has also written to the government seeking equity in the venture and is awaiting a decision, the paper said.
RBI to allow banks to borrow money via collateral of corporate bonds
The Reserve Bank of India is looking to permit commercial banks to borrow money from its daily lending window by pledging top-rated corporate bonds as collateral, in addition to government securities, Mint reported citing sources privy to the development.
Once approved, the development is expected to help improve liquidity in corporate bonds and also assist in liquidity management. Besides, the move would also expand the universe of eligible securities which could serve as collateral for borrowing from RBI's liquidity adjustment facility, the report said.
This expansion would help banks that do not hold government securities over and above the mandated 21.25% of deposits as they could use their corporate bond holdings to borrow cheaply from the LAF to meet liquidity mismatches.
Wartsila to expand operations in India
Wartsila India Ltd is exploring opportunities to take up LNG terminal and ship building projects, and develop mid-size LNG-based power plants as EPC contractor in India, in order to augment its footprint in the country's power sector, Business Standard reported citing a company executive.
The company proposes to be part of India's ambitious plan to add 100,000 MW of solar power capacity. It plans to supply equipment to developers of solar power projects in the country, the report cited Wartsila India president and MD Kimmo Kohtamaki as saying.
Canadian pension fund gets four road assets in India from Isolux Corsan
The Public Sector Pension Investment Board (PSP Investments), one of Canada's largest pension investment managers, has acquired four toll roads totalling 710 km in India, as part of a global transaction with Spanish infrastructure company Grupo Isolux Corsan, Mint reported.
PSP Investments has now become the second Canadian fund to augment its reach in the country's highway sector. The assets acquired are a 291 km road from Panipat to Jalandhar in Haryana and Punjab, a 94 km project from Kishangarh to Beawar in Rajasthan, a 133 km project from the Maharashtra-Gujarat border to Hazira in Gujarat, and a 192 km project from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh to Aurangabad in Bihar.
In May, Isolux Corsan had said that it completed the legal process of separating subsidiary Isolux Infrastructure from itself in order to transfer a portfolio of nine global road assets to PSP Investments.

When it comes to measuring an a bank's financial stability, capital is useful. It acts as a cushion against losses and as protection for depositors when a bank is experiencing economic instability. When it comes to safety and soundness, the more capital, the better.
On our test to measure the adequacy of a bank's capital, Equitable Savings and Loan Association racked up 22 out of a possible 30 points, beating the national average of 13.13.
One important measure of this buffer is a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. Equitable Savings and Loan Association's Tier 1 capital ratio was 30.40 percent, above the 6 percent level regulators consider adequate, and higher than the national average of 25.65 percent. A higher capital ratio means the bank will be better able to stand up to financial downturns.
Overall, Equitable Savings and Loan Association held equity amounting to 15.60 percent of its assets, which exceeded the national average of 12.03 percent.
Bankrate uses this test to estimate the effect of troubled assets, such as past-due loans, on the bank's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization.
A bank with extensive holdings of these types of assets could eventually be forced to use capital to cover losses, reducing its equity buffer. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the bank, reducing earnings and elevating the chances of a future failure.
On Bankrate's test of asset quality, Equitable Savings and Loan Association scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, better than the national average of 37.49 points.
A useful indicator of asset quality is the percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets. As of December 31, 2017, none of Equitable Savings and Loan Association's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks keep a reserve known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses" to deal with problem assets . How large that reserve is can be a widely used indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets, especially when compared to the total amount of problem loans. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on Equitable Savings and Loan Association's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
A bank's ability to earn money affects its long-term survivability. Earnings can be retained by the bank, giving a boost to its capital buffer, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the bank better prepared to withstand economic trouble. Obviously, banks that are losing money are less able to do those things.
Equitable Savings and Loan Association did below-average on Bankrate's test of earnings, achieving a score of 8 out of a possible 30.
Return on equity, calculated by dividing net income (profit, basically) by the total amount of equity, is one important way to measure a bank's earnings. Equitable Savings and Loan Association's most recent annualized quarterly return on equity was 4.02 percent, below the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank recorded net income of $1.0 million on total equity of $26.2 million. The bank reported an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.62 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Would you be surprised to know that he eats only plant based food? Do you want to hear from him how he got to this and why? "I'm a vegan ex strength athlete, I've done strength sports for 25 years, 12 of those years I've done that while I was a meat eater. Then I was a vegetarian for 6 years and I'm vegan for 6 years and a half years now. At this time my career has ended, I had a big injury one and a half years ago. Now I'm more traveling and speaking on panel discussions like today. Probably the most important title that I have it has been to win in heavy weight category in strongman on national level here in Germany, which gave me the title of Germany's strongest man in 2011. That's been a few years ago. At that time I was vegetarian. After winning that title I decided to go vegan and to try to maintain the level that I was competing at as a vegan strength athlete. And in the years after going vegan I have broken 3 different World records, in 3 different disciplines, in strongman, I've had powerlifting European Champions title and pretty much more success than I had in all years before going vegan".

JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories)—Indonesia'
Pertamina's Director for Investment Planning and Risk Management Pertamina Gigih Prakoso said on Tuesday (17/07) that the company's capital spending plan is lowered to US$4.5 billion from initial US$5.6 billion. He stated the investment cut is not because the company suffered financial difficulties, but to anticipate the macroeconomic condition especially the oil price spike and the rupiah depreciation against US dollar.
"Not because we have no money, rather because of macroeconomic condition, oil price [spike], and exchange rate," he added, as quoted by Kontan.
In addition, the cut in investment plan is also due to projects delay. He ensures the company will not cut the upstream investment to maintain oil and gas production, especially in the terminated blocks given to Pertamina. The firm allocates US$3 billion for the upstream investment, among others, is to develop the Jambaran Tiung Biru field.
In addition, Pertamina will not cut the refinery investment as some large-scale project start next year. One of them is the first phase of the Refinery Development Master Plan (RDMP) in Balikpapan that currently starts the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC).
The company will cut investment in the downstream business due to some projects cancellation such as the construction of fuel tanks in Eastern Indonesia.
The investment cut seems related to a rumours Pertamina is experiencing difficulties amid the higher financial burdens from sales of premium gasoline due to oil price spike and rupiah depreciation against US dollar. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani earlier warned State-Owned Enterprises Ministery on the financial condition of Pertamina and power producer PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara financial amid the strengthened U.S dollar.
Based on the 2017's financial report, Pertamina has around US$10 billion in liabilities with the amount of cash reserves stood at only around $5 billion. Most of the company's debt will mature in 2021, which raises concern about issues pertaining to financial liquidity.
On the other hand, fuel subsidy becomes a separate burden for Pertamina. If the selling price of premium and diesel remain until the end of 2018, its estimated that the cost that will be borne by Pertamina would reach Rp38.5 trillion (US$2.69 billion).
Yesterday, a letter signed by SOEs Minister Rini Soemarno on June 29, 2018, was circulated, giving an approval on Pertamina's request on June 6 to sell part of its assets to private entities in order to help its financials.
Vice President Corporate Communication Pertamina Adiatma Sardjito in a press release on Thursday (19/07) confirmed Pertamina's plan to release its assets is part of the business plan to improve the performance of the company's portfolio in the future and reduce the risk in certain assets.
He added the letter proposed to the SOEs Minister is a principal permit as the company still needs approval from the government as shareholders to sell assets, according to the Pertamina's article of associations. "This is a long process. If it needs to be done, it must get approval from the shareholders that is government, " he said.
Sardjito said those corporate actions provide an opportunity for Pertamina to invite strategic partners and gains advantages in technology and business.
Meanwhile, the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force supported the SOEs Minister approval for Pertamina to take strategic actions including share down assets in upstream oil and gas.
The regulator is of the opinion that SOEs Minister must have done thorough consideration in giving the approval.
"We hope through this strategic steps Pertamina can take more aggressive efforts in exploring new upstream oil and gas reserves, and more efficient in implementing the upstream work program," said Communication Head of the Upstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Special Task Force Wisnu Prabawa Taher in a press release on Thursday (19/07).

Raimondis in Dubai11 July 2018 by Sotiris Kanaris
Nurol Construction, part of the Nurol Group of Companies, has taken delivery of five new Raimondi cranes in the United Arab Emirates to add to its existing fleet.
The cranes, two LR213 luffers and three MRT294 topless tower cranes, are already at work across two of the contractor's jobsites in Dubai. The three MRT294s are situated at The Cove, while the two LR213s are positioned at Creek Gate at Dubai Creek Harbor.
"The original site planning was executed in collaboration with Raimondi's technical office at our Italian headquarters. The Raimondi Middle East operations team undertook the installations, and we will also later climb the cranes to heights required by Nurol to complete the projects," said Wael Hasan, Middle East Commercial Manager, Raimondi Cranes. Hasan added that the LR213s specifically met the project's requirements due to an extremely congested area with a high number of cranes already at work on neighboring sites, making the luffers ideal as the machines will not exceed project boundaries.
The company's fleet already included a Raimondi luffing LR165 that has supported the build of many of the company's projects in the UAE, and which is scheduled shortly to be erected on yet another Nurol site in Abu Dhabi.

Elements of a trading strategy.
There are several key elements that need to be included in every trading strategy and traders need to consistently apply all of these elements on every trade.
A trader may have multiple strategies, based on varying market conditions, but no matter the market conditions, a few things must be included.
Market analysis for expected movement and the time frame for that movement, trade entry criteria, money management, an exit plan for both loss levels and take profit levels, and finally, the post-trade analysis to learn from both successes and failures.
By the way, the last point may in fact be the most important as it can be extremely valuable in helping to improve all of the other elements of the strategy.
What's your exit strategy?
The post trade analysis may be the most overlooked aspect of a trading strategy. Probably the second most overlooked element, particularly by new traders, is having an exit strategy for both loss levels and take profit points.
On the loss side, frequently inexperienced traders are known to let their losses run far too long in the hope the market turns in their favor and they can be right.
Once it runs to far, hope turns to fear and then they are stuck. On the profit side, the market may be running in their favor and excitement turns to greed, only to have the market reverse and find themselves giving back some if not all of the hard earned profits.
This is one part of the strategy that Nadex Call Spreads can assist with.
Because of the floor to ceiling structure, with both maximum risk and maximum potential profit baked into the contract, natural target levels for both sides of the trade are established.
So let's take a look at a couple of basic strategies:
Strategy #1 - The long position.
In this strategy, a trader believes the market is going higher and therefore would be a buyer of the contract.
With call spreads, there are multiple ranges and multiple time frames for each market.
In the case of buying, traders, in order to maintain the most favorable risk to reward ratio, will look to find a contract where the underlying market is in close proximity to the floor. By doing so, they may pay a bit higher premium, however, they have a lower defined risk based on the floor, and more potential upside as the ceiling of the contract is farther away.
One key element to this strategy to consider as well is time and not just price. For example, you may be looking for a large move in the US 500. You have one contract #1 that is trading 2 points, or $20 above the floor, with a potential upside of $60, but it is expiring in just 40 minutes.
Or, you may have contract #2, which is trading 2.5 points or $25.00 above the floor, with a potential upside of $55, but has 6 hours remaining to expiration. In this case you have a choice and will need to consider if paying slightly higher time premium, but for that premium, receiving a substantially longer amount of time for the trade to work and potentially push farther into profit over 6 hours than it potentially could in 40 minutes.
There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer, as each trade is unique to the market condition and expected move, but something always worth considering.
Strategy #2 - The short position.
This strategy is effectively the inverse of the previous strategy.
In this case a trader thinks the market is going down and therefore would be looking to sell the contract.
Now, the ceiling becomes the level of risk protection and the floor becomes the ultimate profit objective. So, when selling, traders will often look to sell close to a ceiling in order to maintain the favorable ratio of risk to potential return.
Also, as with the previous scenario, time is an element that needs to be considered in addition to outright price levels in relation to the floor or ceiling.
This was a basic overview of some simple call spread strategies. For more in-depth strategies, register for upcoming webinars or view our extensive webinar archive covering everything from basic to advanced strategies for all Nadex contracts.

Chris Pratt Believes Men Should Be Objectified, Too
After shedding his "dad bod" the Jurassic World star argues that men and women should be objectified equally.
Image via YouTube
Chris Pratt has come a long way from Parks and Recreation, where he starred as a fun-loving karate-chopping bureaucrat with "a dad bod." Now the star of the jaw-droppingly profitable Jurassic World, Pratt spoke to Yahoo! UK about how transforming his body led to bigger and better parts. He openly admitted to being objectified, but he didn't think that was necessarily a bad thing, adding, "I think it's appalling that for a long time only women were objectified, but I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it's important to even things out."

WAREHAM (CBS) — A man has been arrested amid the backlash of a viral post from his girlfriend hailing him a hero for stopping an attempted child abduction at Water Wizz.
Matthew McGonnigal, 27, of Weymouth, was arrested on Thursday and charged with false report of a crime, unlawful wiretapping, and impeding a police investigation.
According to police, it began when McGonnigal misled investigators and "he said he was involved in over the past weekend at Water Wizz in Wareham, involving what he stated was an attempted abduction of a child that he interrupted and involved WPD officers."
Investigators said the entire incident never happened.
Water Wizz responded with a Facebook post of their own saying neither they nor Wareham Police had any record of the abduction. "Seems that somebody has started a very vicious and destructive posting. As most of you know there are many things on Facebook that people post that are not true. For anybody that disagrees with us please call up the Wareham Police Department."
They continued to explain, "We had a policeman on duty the day of the alleged incident and he would have been the first person to respond as he was directly in the park that day. Anyone in the park that day would have seen him as he was right at the front gate. We thank all of our loyal patrons for standing by us and standing up for us regarding this vile FB posting."
"It's a very serious thing to talk about abduction, it's also a very serious thing to talk about a place that's unsafe," said Wareham Police Chief Kevin Walsh.
Jackie Pierce from Water Wizz called the fake allegations "very frustrating."
"Obviously a lot of our patrons have children they trust us to be here safe, never mind in the parking lot being abducted," Pierce said.
When police confronted McGonnigal about the statement, they said he tried to secretly tape the officers, violating the state's wiretapping statute.
McGonnigal is due back in court September 11.

There are few things that are incomparable in this world and for me Montana, and Bozeman in particular, is one of them. This is a land a pure geologic diversity, wide open range land on the eastern side, rugged and mountainous on the western. It is a nature lover's paradise with activities ranging from golf to hiking, horse riding, whitewater rafting, fishing and more. For me Bozeman holds an allure, a draw that keeps me here and forever exploring.
Montana can be very reasonable in terms of travel costs, notice I said "can be". Every kind of traveller can find the perfect fit here in Bozeman. From economy scale to the high-end boutique options it's all right here in the Gallatin Valley.
Food: The average for dining can range anywhere from the awesome local hangouts where dinner and a cold beer will run you $10-15 all the way to posh steakhouses where a full-course dinner could run you $150+.
Bozeman is definitely a breakfast town and we've got the restaurants and coffee shops to prove it. Wild Crumb is a local favorite, they make incredible pastries, artisan bread and serve up fresh coffee.
Nova Cafe is another hot spot that has great breakfast choices they whip up Eggs Benedict specials everyday with creative combinations that are worth the wait. Cafe Fresco features incredible salads and delectable rustically prepared dishes and is a must-go for dinner, located just off 1 block to the north of Main St. this is a nice choice that's a little more quiet than the hopping downtown scene.
Blackbird Kitchen is our personal favorite downtown. This awesome wood-fired pizza joint has amazing pizzas, salads, and wine that is sure to please even the snobbiest of pizza fanatics. It's cozy atmosphere is located downtown Bozeman and the prices are quite reasonable.
Another phenomenon that's happened recently is an explosion of breweries. Bozeman is now home to 9 breweries and distilleries (and counting). We're a drinking town and not afraid to show it. Traditional English, IPA's on nitrogen, bourbon barrel aged, it's all in town. Liquor licenses are very expensive here and the tasting room is a creative way around this law. If you're a brewery with a tasting room you don't need a beer and wine license but you can only be open until 8 P.M. So if you're planning on sampling some of Bozeman's finest just know that you'll probably end up closing it down. One of my personal favorites is Outlaw Brewing, with their awesome selection of over 8 different brews you sure to find one that suits your palette.
Awesome sushi joints, tapas, steaks, Greek, coffee, cajun, Italian, microbrews we really like our food/drink and it's not a secret anymore. Bozeman is a melting pot of people from all over the world and they bring their local flare to the cuisine.
Lodging: For those who are looking for unadulterated luxury it can be found here at exclusive places like Lone Mountain Ranch, Gallatin River Lodge, or for more rustic high-end accommodations check out some of the local glamorous camping (glamping) options that are around like Yellowstone Under Canvas. These exclusive option can range from anywhere from $170/night to $500/night with a private guided fly-fishing trip included.
Vacation Rental By Owner (VRBO) are very popular options here as well, and often times for very reasonable rates. Bozeman is home to many part-timers and the savvy of the bunch will rent out their houses and condos when they're not here providing you with an awesome private escape. When they come, my parents choose a VRBO over anything else in town. A 2-bedroom 2-bath upscale condo goes for as much as 2 rooms at the the Holiday Inn, definitely worth it in their book.
Transportation: Bozeman itself is a pretty small town of about 30,000 people and we don't yet have services like Uber or Lyft so when you come you'll want to grab a rental car as some of the sights worth seeing aren't within walking or biking distance. Phasmid Rentals is a great local place that offers everything you need for your vacation out here. Subarus and Suburbans are the choices for their fleet and if you want to go camping while you're here you can grab tents, sleeping bags, coolers, heck even bear spray.
When To Go
Bozeman is a popular destination year round with awesome skiing in winter and backpacking and hiking in the summer months. Rodeos are something that we all get together for and the ones in the smaller towns around Bozeman like Three Forks and Ennis have great rodeos that are each unique to their locales. Grab some suds, some buds and head out and watch some of the bulls and broncos give it to the cowboys and cowgirls. One rodeo event that we all really like is Mutton Bustin', think of it as the buckin'bronco for little ones. Kiddos about 3 years old saddle up on sheep and take their shot seeing how long they can ride. While there are few that think better of the idea most have a blast and the crowds really like it too.

Winter is definitely for the thick-blooded. Winter can last well into April some years and Montana has seen snow every one of the 12 months, that's right, even July and August. The winter sports here represent more world class amenities. Bridger Bowl is the locals ski area and gets fresh doses of powder on the regular, lift tickets for a single day went for $52 this last winter. Big Sky is a 45 minute drive south and has the largest skiable acres in America. A day ticket here will run you a cool $109, while it might seem extravagant Big Sky is huge and set up perfectly for visiting families to utilize. Skiing is why I'm here and why a lot of others choose to come here as well.
It's not so much when but when not to come to Bozeman. The spring can be gray, rainy and unpredictable, so if you're put off by being chilly or being stuck reading by the fire make sure to check the weather if you're coming in the months of March through May. Later into the summer the weather dries out and the heat comes out in ernest. Temps in August can reach into the 90's and that's when the locals head to the river to find a little respite.
What To Do
There's no shortage of things to do when you visit Bozeman and SW Montana in general. Farmer's market every Tuesday night in the summer is usually hopping with energy and features awesome local crafts and food vendors. Every Wednesday night in the summer Music on Main goes off in downtown Bozeman, the street close to vehicles, open containers are allowed, and live music goes into the evening. But what Bozeman is really known for is the outdoors.
Hiking, backpacking, horse riding, motocross, golf, shooting, whitewater rafting are all available within 1 hour of Bozeman, some much closer. Water is the big draw here and the whitewater, paddle boarding, and kayaking are all world class. The Gallatin, Madison, and Yellowstone Rivers all flow around Bozeman making it one of the best places on earth for fishing and water sports. Do keep in mind that if you want to get on the water in the spring it can be running high and fast and you'll want to take precautions and come well-equipped.
When you come plan to spend some time outside, it's what we're known for and it's what we do.
