We have two runners in the 2 mile beginners chase. Net D'Ecosse (Bryan Cooper) fell at the second in Thurles but is normally a good jumper. He will like this track but might want better ground. Blazer (Barry Geraghty) is a fine big horse who jumps well at home. He will handle the ground and we are expecting a very good run.
Thomas Hobson (Ruby) goes for the 2m 4f conditions chase. He might not have been suited by the left-handed track at Navan last time and we will ride him differently today. The trip should be fine and this looks like a nice opportunity.
Min (Ruby) has his first run for us in the maiden hurdle over 2m 2f. Hopefully he will live up to all the talk there has been about him. He is a useful sort but he might need better ground.

About Us
Vernon Parish is proud of its history as a part of "No Man's Land" along what was the disputed border with Mexico. Outlaws and bandits as well as heroes and soldiers made their mark on this fertile soil. Louisiana's Legend Country celebrates their stories that shaped the culture of today. Enjoy our historic heritage and hospitality as well as our many outdoor adventures of today.
City of Leesville
The city of Leesville was established as the parish seat in 1871, after the parish was created from parts of Rapides, Natchitoches, and Sabine parishes, although it wasn't incorporated until 1900. Dr. Edmund E. Smart donated a portion of his plantation for the town, including the entire city block for the Vernon Parish Courthouse. He served as treasurer for the new city in 1871 and went on to serve in the Louisiana House and Senate.
Dr. Smart's father, John R. Smart, lived on his own plantation called the Retreat which was located about 4 miles north of Leesville. He had served in the Louisiana House and Senate, both before and after the Civil War, and had actually introduced the act which created the new parish. He named the new city "Leesville" in honor of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
The town grew slowly until the railroad's arrival in 1897 allowed faster and easier transport of goods and provided transportation for visitors to and from the area. The lumber industry immediately took advantage of the opportunity and the city grew rapidly to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding population.
Parish population skyrocketed again in 1940, when the US Army established Camp Polk during the Louisiana Maneuvers. Leesville businessmen were quick to respond and the city prospered. Leesville today, continues to serve as the center for parish activities. Travelers to the city will find outstanding accommodations and a host of recreational opportunities.

First-time visitors to the nation's capital in the spring are in for a treat. This season is synonymous with the National Cherry Blossom Festival, a nearly century-old tradition that celebrates the blooming of cherry trees all over town, with most blossoms concentrated around the Tidal Basin. It's a time that's steeped in history and rich in fanfare, with a number of events throughout D.C.
In 1912, Tokyo Mayor Yukio Ozaki presented more than 3,000 cherry trees to Washington, D.C., inspiring the National Cherry Blossom Festival. From the original three-day event, the festival has expanded into a weeks-long extravaganza, drawing more than 1.5 million people.
There is no preparation for actually experiencing the capital in its springtime prime. During this hopeful season, pink petals burst onto the scene with gusto, before flitting from branches like confetti – departing almost as quickly as they arrived.
In early March, National Park Service horticulturists predict the blossoms' "peak" bloom date, when about 70 percent of flowers are open. Their prediction is based on decades of experience plus a mix of historical data, weather observations and forecasts. Blooms have occurred as early as March 15 and as late as April 18, according to the NPS.
For 2017, the NPS predicts the trees will be at their peak March 19-22. To accommodate, the 2017 festival began on March 15 – five days earlier than previously planned – and continues as scheduled through April 16. Although the blossoms only remain in full bloom for a few days, the festival features four weekends of events plus daily programming to celebrate the arts, nature and community spirit.
So, how to enjoy the exquisite trees among throngs of fellow admirers? We've gathered some logistical info and insiders' secrets to ensure a "blooming" good time.
Insider Tips
The northeast side of the Tidal Basin near the paddle boats and Jefferson Memorial often gets especially clogged. So after snapping that iconic shot from the steps of the Jefferson, consider moving toward the FDR Memorial and beyond. While the Tidal Basin is a stunning and concentrated hub of majestic trees, remember that farther-flung spots around the city are idyllic for gazing, too. For example, picnic under the cherry branches of the National Arboretum, Hains Point and West Potomac Park.
Getting Around
Parking during the festival is nearly impossible, especially during peak bloom days. We recommend arriving on foot, by bike or via public transportation.
For those who do drive, parking is available in three lots along Ohio Drive SW, although the volume of traffic far exceeds the number of slots. Those with good parking karma consider a search along Ohio Drive SW between the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. Limited parking for disabled visitors exists near the memorials.
Online reservation services like Parking Panda and Parkmobile can help by tracking space availability – by date – at garages located near festival events. Ride-sharing services like Lyft and Uber can also help you get around.
Metro riders should head to Smithsonian (Orange/Blue lines) – which is the closest Metro station to the Tidal Basin at about half a mile away – although it gets particularly packed. If you're up for a bit of a walk, we recommend getting off instead at L'Enfant Plaza, Federal Triangle or Foggy Bottom. Use the Washington Metro Area Transit Authority Trip Planner website to map your route and calculate fares.
Wear comfortable shoes, as a full day of blossom hunting can result in an impressively high number of steps (Fitbit wearers, rejoice!). The Tidal Basin measures 1.8 miles in circumference, the Hains Point loop is approximately four miles, and the distance between the Lincoln Memorial and U.S. Capitol Building is two miles.
Capital Bikeshare provides several bike stations at convenient locations, including Ohio Drive and the Jefferson Memorial. Refer to the company's website to find rental locations and to see how many bikes are available at any given time. DC Circulator will be operating shuttles around Hains Point for $1 per person/per ride.
Consult visitor maps on downtown streets and those posted by the National Park Service around the Mall. Bus shelters often have maps, too, or consult a Where Visitor map.
In any case, bring along a large dose of patience because navigating paths near and around the Tidal Basin will be incredibly slow. Although arriving early or late – at sunrise or twilight – can help, prepare for crowds at most any time of day.
Festival Resources
Fest-goers find helpful tools at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and at Visit Fairfax in Tysons Corner, Virginia. Refreshments and festival merchandise can also be found at the Tidal Basin Welcome Center, located in the Paddle Boat parking lot.

I Can't Afford A Good Personal Injury Lawyer. What Do I Do?
Any good personal injury attorney does not charge an hourly rate, usually. What they will do is charge a contingency fee which says they will charge a percentage of what they recover. If they recover no money you owe them no money. Also, most attorneys will provide a free consultation for your first meeting.

People first decide who serves. This procedure varies, but is usually the winner of the previous game or the person who got the ball (if that would be the first game). The server first hits the ball forward and down so that it hits the ground and bounces up to hit the wall. If it bounces on the ground more than once or if it doesn't bounce on the ground before it hits the wall, it is considered out. Then, after hitting the ball, the ball would bounce back, and the next person would do the same thing. If the ball bounces more than once before the second player hits it the second person is out, but hitting the ball before it bounces is allowed after the first person hits the ball. If the ball bounces out of bounds (the boundaries are usually determined by the orange lines surrounding the field) at any time, it is considered out, and if it hits the orange line, it is sometimes considered in, sometimes considered out, and sometimes considered a "liney", in which the game stops and the person who made the liney serves again. The goal is to get the person behind you out by hitting it with the right force and in the right direction. There are sometimes rules called "first serves", in which the server doesn't get out until the third time the server gets out. There are many variations to the rules, but the rules above are the classic ones. Babies, in which the ball on the second bounce is smaller than the closest interior orange line to the wall (there are two orange lines; one is about three-four feet from the wall, and the other one is about two-thirds of the court away from the wall) and sliceys (or skimmers), where the ball goes at an extremely high speed and extremely low height, are very common varying things (in or out). There are four main types of wallball: regular, teams, line-up, and random. Regular is where the players line up outside of the court on a bench (which is usually present) or standing if there is no bench, and two players enter the court. They play, and the losing player goes to the end of the line, and the next person comes up. Teams is the same as regular, except that there are four (or more, but even) players that come up (grouped in equal teams). Line-up is where all the players line up in a line that is either determined by the winning person or in "random order", where the players pick the order, and they play in order (the server goes after the last person). Random is where all the players are scattered around the court, the server serves, and a random person (whoever wants to hit the ball) comes up and hits the ball. In random, when nobody hits the ball, players determine who is out by either considering it a re-do (the server or another person serves again), "flinching" (the person who reacts to the ball in a fashion that looks like the player is going to hit the ball), nearest person (the closest person to the ball is out), or a combination of nearest person and flinching (if somebody flinches, the flinching person is out; if nobody flinches, the nearest person is out). In line-up or random, the winner of each game usually decides the rules and game style of the next game (usually with the classic rules, but the winner usually has the right to change them, though if enough people disagree, the idea is usually not used), and in regular or teams, the first person to beat the whole line gets to determine the rules and game style of the next game. If playing with a soccerball/football, they have to hit it wherever it lies, if against a fence rock or even round the wall, the player whose turn it is has to bounce it off an object but if another person hits it after someone hits the ball their opponent wins.
Wallball is a type of school yard game similar to butts up, aces-kings-queens, Chinese handball, and American handball (American handball is sometimes actually referred to as wallball). The sport was played by a few schools in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City, then began gaining much popularity, resulting in a popular worldwide sport. Wallball is now played globally with the international federation, Wall Ball International, promoting the game.[1] The game requires the ball to be hit to the floor before hitting the wall, but in other respects is similar to squash. It can be played as a singles, doubles or elimination game. Wallball is derived from many New York City street games played by young people, often involving the Spalding hi-bounce balls created in 1949.

Editorial: Trump threatens the world's trade order
On Friday, the administration's 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports to the United States took hold. China's Ministry of Commerce stated that the tariffs violate the World Trade Organization's rules and represent the launch of "the largest trade war in economic history to date."
China has retaliated with tariffs on $34 billion worth of imported U.S. goods.
The World Trade Organization could have told President Trump that his determination to bring back tariffs will be a disaster for everyone involved.
But Trump seems to believe that the organization is part of the problem. On Monday, Trump told reporters that the WTO has treated the U.S. "very badly," and if "they don't treat us properly, we will be doing something."
The comments came after recent reporting from Axios that the administration has drafted legislation that would allow the U.S. to unilaterally raise tariffs without the consent of Congress — a nuclear option that would basically entail walking away from the country's WTO commitments.
Aghast at Trump's handling of global trade disputes, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce issued a report last week arguing that the tariffs his administration has imposed will backfire badly.
"This is the wrong approach, and it threatens to derail our nation's recent economic resurgence," announced the chamber.
Trump also faced a difficult diplomatic moment when he met Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte at the White House last week. Rutte, who pushed back against Trump's trade policies, can be said to speak for many of our traditional allies.
The WTO is designed to break trade logjams like the one the Trump administration has just gotten us into. Like most unwieldly global operations, the organization has some problems.
For years, the U.S. has criticized it for continuing to consider China a "developing nation," despite its growth into the world's second-largest economy. Developing countries have fewer WTO responsibilities. China has managed to resist reclassification in part because the enormous country still has a much lower GDP per capita than the U.S.
But just because the WTO needs to make improvements doesn't mean the U.S. should ignore our commitments — or ignore its advice on tariffs.
For one thing, our economy depends on the trust of our trading partners and the existence of a reasonably certain framework in which to do business. With its its herky-jerky approach to trade disputes, the Trump administration is threatening both of those elements.
Trade wars are easy to launch and difficult to end. Once countries begin a cycle of tariffs and retaliatory counter-tariffs, things can escalate quickly — to the detriment of all international consumers and businesses.
Organizations like the WTO exist to give countries the chance to deal with their differences. That's why it's crucial for Congress to make it clear to President Trump that the U.S. will remain within the global trade community.

When your dragon art gets a little too real.
If all this talk of microbes and cancer is making your tattooed skin crawl, here's the kicker: Because ink manufacturers won't tell us what's in their product, it makes removing those tattoos an extra-big pain in the ass, or wherever else you got them. If doctors knew the composition and chemical makeup of each ink, they could identify and calibrate a treatment that stands a good chance of working without putting a patient into a pain-induced coma. Without that information, however, they're just winging it with lasers, which is much less fun than it sounds.
So what does it take to get The Man involved? Oh, they're waiting for enough people to contract dangerous infections. As the FDA doesn't mandate testing on tattoo ink, only a bona fide outbreak has can force them to take action. When an outbreak of nontuberculous mycobacterium (a cousin of actual tuberculosis) started afflicting tattoo owners in 2012, the infection was eventually traced back to a non-sterile ink manufacturer and the FDA finally stepped in. All it took was dozens of people oozing blood out of their skin for a few months.

I hope that the facts about insomnia will help someone achieve a better night's sleep. Just about everyone wants to wake up feeling rested, refreshed and ready to take on the new day. Unfortunately, many people don't get the rest they so desperately need and want. There are numerous resources available to the sleep deprived, whether it is online, at the local library or from your physician. There's tons of help available.
The basic facts about insomnia focus on the problem itself, which is the inability to fall asleep when you absolutely want to. Moreover, it includes the individual getting little sleep or a poor quality nights sleep on a regular basis. Here's a list of the three main types of insomnia:
O Transient or Short-Term insomnia lasts 1 night or up to a couple weeks
O Intermittent insomnia is short term but it does recur once in a while
O Chronic insomnia occurs at least three times a week and continues for periods of a month, an entire life
One of the main facts about insomnia is that the constant and excessive sleepiness that the person experiences. This leads to the individual feeling irritable, lethargic, restless and always tired. They're considered an insomniac. These symptoms are more common in the chronic sufferer.
Another of the truth about insomnia is that insomniacs are much more accident-prone. This exceptionally dangerous situation costs many lives every year in North America. The issue of insomnia can also cause issues in the house as well. People are far more irritable when they don't get enough rest and this leads to arguments and disagreements that would otherwise not have happened if the person were not in an irritable and tired state of mind.
If it's not treated, it can affect every area of a person's life, their job, their relationships and every other element of it. Sleep has two chief conditions that alternate in cycles, thus resulting in various degrees of brain cell activity. The truth is sleep disturbances are a symptom of depression, insomnia then causes mood disorders. Some people turn to sleeping pills to fight their inability to sleep.
In determining the facts about insomnia there are ways to enhance ones sleep habits and help the person sleep better overall. One of the best ways to alleviate problems sleeping is to correct the physical and psychological factors that may be causing the insomnia in the first location. This means that changing ones lifestyle will go a long way in stopping the sleep deprivation difficulties. Another treatment system is cognitive behavior therapy; this helps someone set their environment and regular plus the right frame of mind for sleep. Changes in diet and regular exercise can also bring about a better nights sleep. Check out Palm Springs Rat Removal for more details.

Widely considered as one of the top acoustic guitarists in the world, masterful Woody Mann is a New York based musician and renowned teacher with deep roots in the blues. He has excellent credentials and has learned directly from the Rev. Gary Davis, played with Son House, Bukka White and John Fahey. Then, he ascended to ranks of the most celebrated and accomplished guitarists, regularly performing at the acoustic International Guitar Festival, an event that brings together the world's finest players, kind of like the Mensa of the guitar. Along with Ed Gerhard, Bob Brozman, and a handful of others, he represents the blues well among the small circle of the "virtuosos virtuosos."
By no means singularly a blues player, he has one foot in the jazz realm. When he does play the blues, his repertoire is wide-ranging and unlimited. Be it Ragtime, Piedmont, fingerpicking, slide, laptop, whatever he touches is amazing and delightful.
All the fancy technique, but can he play the blues with feeling? Resoundingly, yes! Of course, his performances are usually more jazz oriented, but when he wants to, play the blues, he is one of today's best.
Big Bill Broonzy's recording career spanned from 1927 until his death in 1958. His repertoire was well recorded, from solo to duets to ensemble playing. He was rediscovered just as the "folk-revival" began in the early 1950s. Big Bill was a master of ragtime and country blues guitar. His playing was highlighted by a strong pulsating bass and melodic lead lines. Woody Mann carefully explains Big Bill's techniques and style in this video lesson. Also presented is rare footage of Big Bill from the 1950s as well as BONUS audio tracks of his 1930-1934 recordings that are taught in this lesson (indicated with a *).
Titles include: Moppers Blues, Pig Meat Strut*, Long Tall Mama*, Hey, Hey, Worried Man Blues, Saturday Night Rub*, Brownskin Shuffle*, How You Want It Done*, Mississippi River Blues* and Worrying You Off My Mind*
90 minutes • Level 3 • Detailed tab/music PDF file on the DVD
Review: Very DEEP teaching! This is a very deep DVD. It is not for the faint of heart. Woody Mann is not only a gifted performer, but a natural teacher meaning that he possesses the gift of teaching; the ability to share information, anticipate students' trouble areas, and to inspire.
These songs are terrific and although the student may be able to get through them, learning them at tempo is another issue. Mann gives the most perfect replications of BBB's material and breaks down the songs to the point of understanding for Intermediate, and even some "advanced Beginners."
This DVD will provide you with MONTHS of "private" lessons. The songs are fun to play, and fun to hear. Camera angles are terrific and the song selection is the best of BBB. Some nice additions: video clips of Big Bill performing in the 50's.
Mann never disappoints; here and in his other instructional DVDs. He is a treasure to all guitar students. – Peter Hyatt/Amazon Customer Review
Review: An excellent DVD, fine Broonzy selections and Mann instructs in his usual way of making the learner work just a little. He's not about too much discourse on technique and fingering. He knows that his own precise playing, the split screen and original Broonzy audio and visuals of him playing, make it all well within grasp. A very fine Broonzy lesson by a fine musician. – Ken/Amazon Customer Review

It's been a busy week in the news. Check
out which stories made our Top Five list below.
"How did you make your resume?" "How do you
get dressed in the morning?" These are just a couple of the questions that
Ashley Nemeth has been asked at job interviews. Nemeth is legally blind.
Growing up she could see shapes in the distance but nothing else unless she was
closer. Three years ago she lost the rest of her vision and is now fully blind.
Until she fully lost her vision, she worked as an insurance broker and hid her
visual impairment. "It was just one of those things that I felt like I had to
do in order to have any shot at having a job and being able to be employed,"
she said. Since then Nemeth has struggled to find a job. She now works with
CNIB as a spokesperson and talks about those challenges. "It was frustrating,
because I wanted (at the job interviews) to talk about my qualifications and
what I could bring to the company," she said. "I was always frustrated with the
amount of time that we spent talking about my disability and what I couldn't do
versus what I could do." October is National Disability and Employment
Awareness Month, and CNIB has launched an EmployAbility campaign. The group is
calling on employers to look past misconceptions about hiring people who are
blind or partially sighted.

Regina's Hany Al Moliya, who is studying to be a computer engineer, has joined
the Prime Minister's Youth Council. Before coming to Regina in 2014, Al Moliya,
23, helped fellow Syrian refugees living in camps in Lebanon while working for
UNICEF. Even though he is legally blind, Al Moliya took up photography and
documented his experiences as a refugee, having fled his hometown in 2012. He
has also helped newcomers settle in Regina. "I want to make a difference
in Canadian life," Al Moliya said about his joining the council. He said
he also wants to contribute to the country that gave him a chance to rebuild
his life. "I had a tough life in a refugee camp and I got a chance to come
to Canada and that changed my life," he said. He said he wants to bring
more people with disabilities into the workforce and will draw on his own
experiences with visual impairment. "I would like also to share some ideas
to help Canadian youth to find themselves [and] to be inspired by others using
arts and technology at the same time," he said.

10/28/13. ACLJ Challenges 'Anti-Christian Crusade' Removing References to God in US Military. Stoyan Zaimov, christianpost.com
"The American Center for Law and Justice has challenged the removal of the phrase "so help me God" from the Air Force Academy's Honor Code, which it says is evidence of an "anti-Christians Crusade" against the U.S. military.
"Mr. Weinstein's numerous, erroneous demands invite extreme caution on the part of all those who are targets of his periodic tirades and who receive his periodic letters, lest the recipients become unwitting pawns in Mr. Weinstein's strategy to eviscerate religious freedom in the Armed Forces," reads ACLJ's letter to the Superintendent of the Air Force Academy, Lieutenant General Michelle D. Johnson.
The statement refers to Mikey Weinstein, the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), who has written to the AFA asking that "so help me God" be stricken from the Honor Code, claiming that the phrase "violates the Constitution as an establishment of religion and the imposition of a religious test to hold office."
The AFA responded last week by making the phrase optional, explaining that the decision was made with the intent to make sure the oath is inclusive of cadets from different religious backgrounds.
"Here at the Academy, we work to build a culture of dignity and respect, and that respect includes the ability of our cadets, Airmen and civilian Airmen to freely practice and exercise their religious preference – or not," said Lt. Gen. Johnson in a press release. "So, in the spirit of respect, cadets may or may not choose to finish the Honor Oath with 'So help me God'."
The ACLJ argued, however, the phrase has a long history and tradition throughout American public and military service, going back to President George Washington who added the phrase to the Presidential Oath of Office
The law group added in the letter to Lt. Gen. Johnson that the rules for the oath do not impose any penalties on cadets who refuse to recite the phrase, and that the phrase itself does not establish any particular religion.
"In fact, the phrase is no more onerous to the Constitutional rights of Air Force Academy cadets than is the phrase, 'In God We Trust,' on the currency they receive in payment for their military service," the organization continued.
"In this matter, the mere presence of the phrase 'so help me God' in the Honor Code does not violate the Constitution and laws of the United States. As such, Air Force Academy officials must absolutely reject Mr. Weinstein's imagined Constitutional violation."
In August, the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty confirmed that it had received more than 1,500 pages revealing that the Department of Defense classified religious groups such as Catholics, Evangelicals, Jews, and Mormons as religious "extremists" similar to Al-Qaeda and the Ku Klux Klan in training materials.
"Men and women of faith who have served the military faithfully for centuries shouldn't be likened to those who have regularly threatened the peace and security of the United States," said Chaplain (Col.) Ron Crews, USAR retired, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty.
An ACLJ petition to defend religious freedom in the U.S. military started earlier this year has reached close to 100,000 signatures."

SRL Diagnostics, a diagnostic company based out in Mohali, Punjab providing diagnostic services in pathology and radiology, has partnered with Microsoft India to expand the later's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Network for Healthcare to pathology, announced Microsoft.
This collaboration will help improve the quality of digital pathology for population screening by bringing together Microsoft's Azure and AI innovations along with SRL's world-class expertise in the study of cells and tissues (histology). With this addition, Microsoft's AI Network for Healthcare has now expanded to include pathology along with eyecare and cardiology, thus representing the continued efforts made by the organisation to democratize healthcare.
SRL Diagnostics has 378 networking laboratories; 24 radiology/imaging centres; 40 NABL-accredited labs; 4 CAP-accredited labs; and a footprint spanning more than 6600 collection points. The company has large labs in Dubai, Sri Lanka and Nepal, and about 70 collection points in various countries outside India. T
Growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer is one of the key factors for the need for pathology to transform. Digital pathology is increasingly being preferred as it has helped bring improvement in service delivery, patient safety and communications while reducing errors and lowering costs. Histopathology is a specialized form of pathology for analyzing tissue biopsies (mounted on glass slides) and is used for detecting numerous diseases. Histopathologists require highly efficient tools to assist in diagnosis, thus augmenting the demand for automated and innovative implementation of cloud and AI.
Commenting on the partnership Anil Bhansali, Managing Director, Microsoft India (R&D) Private Limited, said, "Microsoft is committed to empower both the healthcare industry and patients by using AI to democratize healthcare for all. Our partnership with SRL Diagnostics will assist pathologists by equipping them with technology that will augment their capability. This is the third area where we have expanded our AI Network for Healthcare after eyecare and cardiology. We will continue to look for other areas where we can deploy technology to make healthcare more accessible."
Commenting on the partnership Arindam Haldar, Chief Executive Officer, SRL Diagnostics said, "In line with SRL's vision to help people on their path to better health, we are delighted to be partnering with Microsoft to co-create solutions and generate both social and business value. Diagnosis is the first step to disease management, as without accurate identification of the cause there is no possibility of a precise treatment. With the growing number of samples of cancer, as well as of other diseases, there's a need to quickly and accurately analyze the samples to help doctors arrive at a diagnosis faster. The AI platform that Microsoft will build in collaboration with SRL is expected to create a software environment infused with millions of data points and knowledge gained from SRL's expert laboratory professionals."
Microsoft AI Network for Healthcare aims to maximize the ability of AI and cloud computing to accelerate innovation in the healthcare industry and improve the lives of people around the world. By working side-by-side with the healthcare industry's pioneering players, Microsoft is bringing its capabilities and applying AI to devices for early detection of diabetic retinopathy to prevent blindness. Microsoft has also recently launched an AI-powered Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score API for Indian population.
As the largest diagnostic laboratory in the country, SRL Diagnostics has a repository of more than a million histopathology slides which would be used for training an AI algorithm. By increasing efficiency in the initial steps in a biopsy tissue analysis through artificial neural networks, it will be possible for a histopathology laboratory to cut down on inadvertent manual errors and process more samples in a day with higher level of accuracy.
Of late, India has proved that it is fast picking up pace in adopting emerging technologies like AI, blockchain and IoT in healthcare. Last month, in order to curb counterfeit medical products and drugs in specific, NITI Aayog, a government of India think tank, has partnered with the technology giant Oracle and Apollo Hospitals, where Oracle will integrate its blockchain technology and a distributed ledger solution in pharmaceutical supply chain, which will create records that are unchangeable for each pharma transaction.

Fall is just about to begin but it's never too early to plan your next ski trip. In fact, many resorts are taking steps to open their doors before winter even arrives.
Just take a look at these five places that are planning to start the season early this year.
1) Arapahoe Basin
Planned Opening: October 10, 2019
Arapahoe Basin has a reputation for early openings. And with the white stuff already spotted on the mountain, it looks like they'll be starting ahead of the pack as usual.
One thing that's changed this year though is that Arapahoe is no longer included in the Epic Pass. For the 2019-2020 season, they'll be joining the Ikon Pass. Keep that in mind if you're interested in getting one of the passes.
2) Keystone Resort
Planned Opening: October 2019
Back in June, Vail Resorts announced plans to open several of their properties early for the ski season. One of them is Keystone Resort.
The place usually opens in November but as a result of improvements to their energy-efficient, automated snowmaking system, they're able to push this up to October. You can expect to ski or snowboard on twice as much terrain compared to what's usually available around this time.
3) Breckenridge Ski Resort
Planned Opening: November 8, 2019
Breckenridge Ski Resort also announced that their side of the mountain should be ready at the start of November. Under the right conditions, the resort hopes to have skiers on their slopes until May 25, 2020.
Visitors can look forward to new amenities such as a children's ski & snowboard school, childcare services, equipment rental, and more in a new 22,000 square foot facility at the resort's Peak 8 base.
4) Mammoth Mountain Ski Area
Planned Opening: November 9, 2019
According to Mammoth Mountain's calendar, they'll be kicking off the 2019/2020 winter season in early November.
As is the tradition in the area, those who'll be attending opening day can experience their Broadway Express banner breakthrough and annual beer toast. That's more than enough reason to head over—other than the skiing, of course.
5) Vail Ski Resort
Planned Opening: November 15, 2019
Alongside the announcement for Keystone and Breckenridge, Vail Ski Resort also revealed that they'll be ready to welcome guests before Thanksgiving.
Upgrades to their snowmaking equipment will allow them to
open up more terrain and at higher elevations. Come November, skiers will be
able to enjoy almost 200 acres of the resort before the crowds arrive later on
in the season.
Want to be the first one in the mountains? Kit Lender can help you gear up so you can hit the slopes as soon as these resorts open. Choose from our selection of the latest styles from the leading outdoor apparel brands. When it comes to skiing, it pays to be fashionably early.cascsac ascas

Here we have invited Megan Fizell of Feasting on Art (www.featingonart.com) to an interview, revealing the influence of food on art and the power that is potentially hidden in a can of tomato soup.
Megan has been researching artists using sugar for the upcoming exhibition, 'Sugar, Sugar', built on the ideas explored by the 'Art + Food' artists using edible materials. The featured art pieces are made exclusively with sugar. As a species, we are predisposed to seek out sugar to supplement our diet. "Sweet tooth" and "sugar rush" are colloquial phrases used to describe our bodies' cravings for and reaction to the substance. Our inclination to seek out the sweet stuff speaks to the pervasiveness of sugar in the visual arts.

Patna: In an interesting move, the incumbent party of Bihar JD(U) has decided to rope in popular cricketer Shahid Afridi for their campaign for the Assembly Elections later this year. Shahid's close resemblance to young Sharad Yadav is believed to be the prime reason behind this move aimed at garnering votes from the elderly.
Faking News reached out to the party senior Nitish Kumar who seemed quite confident of carrying Shahid along with him for election rallies.
"Sharad ji used to be a handsome hunk and had a lot of fans during early days in politics. The ones who grew old with him will have to revive their fandom and vote for JD(U)", said Nitish Kumar as he negotiated Afridi's remuneration in the background.
Afridi on the other hand was elated with this opportunity and was quite confident that he could move into Bollywood right after campaigning and settle down in Mumbai, like Adnan Sami.
Lalu Yadav was not very happy with this move as he thought this would shift the vote-bank towards JD(U) and eventually, he would have to obey Nitish.
Sources say to counter this move, Lalu is now once again planning to rope in the infamous Osama Bin Laden look alike to campaign for RJD, to attract Muslim votes like he had previously.
Meanhwile Congress, also part of alliance with RJD and JDU for Bihar elections, has asked both parties to stop such gimmicks and instead focus on the one and only youth leader Rahul Gandhi.

These are cute tights; picked them up in the black and red. I don't wear them often, though, because I seem to always want to hitch them up. It's weird but they fit different from the other Nike tights I own. I'm thinking it's because they're made of nylon? Maybe I should have sized down so keep that in mind when you try these out. I kept them because they're cute but not very functional for me. For reference, I'm a size L and 5 foot 9.

What equipment will you need at your recovery site? What supplies? Your plan should list:
- Equipment and supplies that you know that you will need. Because LAN systems change so rapidly, you will not be able to list everything. Using easily available, off-the-shelf equipment, however, will make emergency acquisition easier.
- Location of backup inventories, and how to access those inventories. Backup inventories should include copies of any software required to restore data and bring up new workstations and servers. Avoid storing supplies that can be easily obtained, such as standard office furniture, printer paper and toner.
- Vendors that have been contracted to supply equipment or other material in an emergency. Locations, contact names, phone numbers and contract information, including any standing purchase order information, should be included. You should have more than one vendor for each product type, and those vendors should be able to get products to your recovery site quickly.
Equipment Inventory
A comprehensive listing of existing hardware and software is essential for determining what will be needed in an emergency. It is also important for ensuring that insurance coverage is adequate and for proof-of-loss after a disaster. A copy of the inventory should be stored at the recovery site or off-site storage location. Maintaining such an inventory should be part of your accounting procedures or standard operating procedures.
A list of vendors of hardware, software, services and supplies should be stored at the recovery site or off-site storage location. This list should be as comprehensive as possible, since you may not know exactly what you will need or who will be able to supply it until after disaster strikes. The list should include the vendor's name and address, telephone and fax numbers, contact names, products/services purchased, products/services supplied, and any other information that you deem important.
Important Records
In addition to those items already mentioned, up-to-date copies of the following should be stored at the recovery site or off-site-storage location:
- Master copies of software
- Accounting and corporate database records, stored both electronically and on paper
- Recovery procedure manuals
- Documentation, operation manuals and technical manuals
- Backup tapes
- Any files needed to recreate data or speed the process of disaster recovery
It should be noted that it is very important that the off-site storage location be physically secure, and that temperature and humidity be maintained within the range required for storing magnetic media.

The Eucharist is the climax of our prayer. It is the great prayer of Jesus to his Father. His supreme sacrifice. When he tells us 'Do this in memory of me' he doesn't just mean consecrate the bread and wine, he means us to wash the feet of our brothers and sisters just as he has done. That is, we must love them as he has loved them. Then we can come and offer our gift at the altar. We gather all our prayers and needs into the eucharist. We come into the presence of the God who loves us, we confess our sins and ask pardon we praise him and hear his word. We express all our needs and prayers, we offer our gifts, fruits of the earth and work of our hands. We enter into the great prayer of Jesus. We are united with him as he offers himself to the Father. Jesus to whom we have listened, to whom we have prayed, now becomes truly alive, flesh, blood, soul and divinity and gives himself to us. He invites us to communion with him. The Mass is ended, we are sent out to love and serve the Lord. We serve him by serving our brothers and sisters. Our lives centre on the eucharist, the living Jesus, whom we carry with us throughout the day. The Eucharist becomes fruitful for us by the way we share it throughout the day.

Panera Bread's Socialist 'Pay What You Want' Experiment Fails Miserably
Panera Bread has shuttered the last of its ideologically driven "pay what you want" restaurants. The socialist-tinged ventures were called "Panera Cares" and the higher-ups have finally figured out that "caring" is not synonymous with "viable business model." On February 15, the final Panera Cares, located in Boston, will close.
The website Eater gives Panera Cares' history and provides the company's motivation behind the now-defunct mission:
The chain opened its first donation-based community cafe in St. Louis, Missouri, in 2010. Under the model championed by the company's founder Ron Shaich, the restaurant operated like a typical Panera, but offered meals at a suggested donation price, with the goal of raising awareness about food insecurity. "In many ways, this whole experiment is ultimately a test of humanity," Shaich said in a TEDx talk later that year. "Would people pay for it? Would people come in and value it?" It appears the answer is a resounding no.
Food insecurity? While having a pretty good idea of what the term means, I still looked it up. According to Feeding Texas, "Food insecurity offers an accepted method for measuring food deprivation."
You know who's probably suffering from food insecurity? The employees of Panera Cares who are no longer employed and no longer receive paychecks. You can't buy food if you don't have a job, and providing jobs is only assured if companies are focused on making money. If Panera had cared more about making money than promoting a constantly refuted ideology, its employees would still be receiving paychecks. Frighteningly, though, a growing segment of the populace seems to be allergic to common-sense economic principles.
Resources and wealth do not exist in a vacuum. Someone had to provide and pay for the tables, chairs, ovens, checkout computers, et al. that allowed Panera Cares to provide a service to their customers. And that's not to mention the food costs, salaries, and the overhead that come with doing business in a building that requires electricity, climate-controlled temperatures, and, well, walls and a ceiling. Making money costs money. This is why businesses that give their stuff away or sell it below the market rate go out of business. All the caring and empathy in the world can't change the fact that it cost money to provide Panera Cares' customers with food. And if the money that the company receives back is less than the money the company spent, everyone eventually loses.

This summer, we're pleased to welcome back veteran instructor Hacob Khodaverian. Hacob will be taking advantage of our downtown classrooms at Figueroa Courtyard to present Advanced Photographic Lighting Techniques. The class also includes two action-packed Saturdays at McCadden Space studios in Hollywood. It's a great chance to get some hands-on time with lights and equipment, which I've heard many students say is a valuable learning experience.
I asked Hacob some hard-hitting questions about photography, and here's what he had to say:
What do you think are the most important qualities for a photographer to have?
Embrace rather than reject. By that I mean a photographer should embrace new ideas, new technologies, new techniques, and of course new ways of doing business.
What are the challenges of studio photography?
I can't think of another profession, or even hobby for that matter, where things change as rapidly as they do in photography. Keeping up with these changes is the biggest challenge we face in photography, and it is only through sharing of our experiences that we can learn and further our knowledge.
Another major challenge is the need to reinvent yourself as a photographer and an artist.
What is a tip or trick that you have learned to make the studio process run more smoothly?
Rather than thinking of myself as the "photographer," and the chairman of the board, I carry myself as just one of the crew members and run the shoot as a collective process. I stay open to new directions when the one at hand is not working. Also, pre-planing is a major part of the photo shoot process. You could be the most disorganized person on earth, but somehow the seriousness of these photo shoots (once you realize it) makes you very prepared.
Do you remember your first professional assignment?
My first professional assignment was for Westway Magazine. It was a one day shoot, but took me a week to complete. It turned out well, but made me realize I have so much to learn.

Does every Canadian kid know we have two official national sports: lacrosse (summer) and hockey (winter)? Do they know lacrosse gets its name from the crozier (staff) carried by French bishops? Many kids know that basketball was invented here, but do they know synchronized swimming and five-pin bowling are also homegrown? If they don't now, they will after reading Susan Hughes' informative and entertaining Canadian Sports.
Hughes' book provides four colour-coded chapters, written in a fun and informative tone: Canada's national sports, sports invented in Canada, our most popular sports, and great athletes and moments. On the "most popular" front, soccer, Canadian gridiron football, and curling all get due treatment, though oddly, snowboarding – hugely popular with kids – is relegated to a sidebar with motocross, BMX, and in-line skating.
The section focusing on athletes and great moments could have been larger, though it does cover a wide range in its eight entries. Usual suspects such as Wayne Gretzky and Steve Nash make appearances, as well as less-familiar figures such as native marathon champion Tom Longboat and Paralympian Chantal Petitclerc. (One quibble: Hughes tells us Gretzky was the youngest player to reach 50 goals in one NHL season, but neglects to tell us how old he was at the time.) Sadly, no lacrosse players are featured, and while our 2002 Olympic hockey teams receive space, there's no mention of our tremendously successful junior hockey teams.
Backed up by lots of great action photos, Canadian Sports covers a lot of territory and, despite its gaps, will serve as a great primer for kids.
