Ministry of Public Health and Population immunized more than seven million children during the first three days of the measles immunization campaign in several provinces.
Dr. Youssef al-Hadhri, director general of the national center for education and health information and population, made it clear that 7,287,099 children were vaccinated during the first three days of the vaccination campaign against measles and rubella by the field teams and health centers of the ministry.
"Yemenis became well aware of the importance of immunization in the light of the spread of deadly diseases, thanks to the proper awareness and health education," said Dr. al-Hadhri.
He called on citizens to move during the three days remaining of the campaign to vaccinate their children in schools and fixed and temporary health centers in order to protect their children from measles and rubella.
On Saturday, the Health Ministry launched in the capital Sana'a and all provinces the national campaign for immunization against measles and rubella diseases, which lasts until February 14 and targets children from the age of 6 months to 15 years.

New pothole repair rules will increase risk of cycling deaths, coroner warns
Cyclists could die because of new Government rules relaxing repairs to deep potholes, a coroner has warned.
Peter Sigee, assistant coroner for Greater Manchester North, said an apparent change in procedures on when potholes are deemed deep enough to need repair will "increase the risk of future deaths".
His report, to prevent future deaths, has been sent to Transport Secretary Chris Grayling, following the death of Roger Hamer, 83, who suffered fatal injuries after hitting a pothole in Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester, on March 5 2016.
During Mr Hamer's inquest, which ended in August, the jury at the coroner's court found he probably died after his bicycle hit a pothole, generally in excess of 50mm deep, on Bury New Road.
Bury Council, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of the road, currently has an "intervention level" of 40mm, so any potholes at that level or deeper are repaired.
But the inquest heard the council is now adopting a new procedure after the Department of Transport (DfT) issued new guidance in October 2016.
Mr Sigee noted that under the new procedure 40mm will be redefined as the "investigation level", so that once a pothole is greater than 40mm a highway inspector will investigate it and consider whether a repair is needed.
But the coroner said if 40mm is now specified in the new procedures as the minimum threshold for investigation, then defects which measure less than 40mm may not be investigated and defects of 40mm or above may not be repaired.
The coroner said while inspectors have the discretion to repair potholes which do not meet the criteria, he considers the new rules will increase the risk of fatalities, especially for cyclists.
Mr Sigee, in his report to Mr Grayling, writes: "In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you have the power to take such action."
The DfT said it had responded to the coroner, by repeating the new guidance, and there was no change in policy.
It added that it is for local authorities to decide and determine the dimension of a pothole as a basis for their decision-making and the new procedures are clearer and involve a "risk-based approach" with road inspectors making a judgment on which repairs are done.
A number of deaths in the UK have already been attributed to cyclists hitting potholes while riding.
Last week The Times reported that 467 cyclists had been involved in accidents at least partly caused by "poor or defective" roads in the past five years.
A DfT spokeswoman said:
Sam Jones, a campaigner at Cycling UK, said:
Catherine James, a serious injury lawyer at solicitors Irwin Mitchell, representing Mr Hamer's family in a claim for compensation from Bury Council, said:

If we look around at the mega successful businesses of today, (think Facebook or Amazon) they've grown very quickly from the seed of an idea that someone had the courage to chase and bring to life.
The two words that stand out to me from that paragraph are 'courage' and 'idea'.
I have always believed in the power of an idea. But without the conviction to stare down the critics and chase your dream, nothing will ever happen.
Sometimes the pressure to quit is so great you find yourself questioning even basic business decisions.
That happened to me in the early days of Bestagents.
Close friends and even some family members told me I was on a fool's errand. They told me to stick to what I know and I would be okay.
But I didn't want to be okay. The entrepreneurial spirit that was born and nurtured through my real estate career was in my blood.
I remember the one main thought and belief that kept me going through the darkest nights: If I didn't give it my very best effort, I knew I would be plagued with regret later in life. Could I really look myself in the mirror in 20 years time and say I gave it my all?
But to get to the actual launch of Bestagents, I need to go back a little further to what I call the dark times.
By late 1989, the heat was coming out of the Australian economy.
The stock market crash of 1987 was trickling down to almost everything bought or sold. Property prices were down and so was the actual volume of properties sold.
But that didn't stop my brother and I from opening our real estate office at 97 Kooyong Road Armadale in Melbourne Australia on January 1 1990.
We were young with lots of real estate experience and lots of energy. We were going to set the world on fire.
By mid 1990, the crippling recession that wiped billions of dollars from the Australian economy was taking hold. It would last for four brutal years.
Values in every market were slashed and in many cases halved.
But way more damaging for the real estate industry was the dramatic decline in the number of properties sold.
It was a double punch that broke many real estate companies and ended many careers.
One by one, the teachers, car salesmen, taxi drivers and bored housewives who had chosen a real estate career to make some quick cash in the boom, drifted back to their old jobs or simply gave up.
By the end of the year, our savings were gone and we were in debt.
Listings were getting harder and harder to come by and without listings there would be no sales and no future.
I remember long sleepless night laden with worry and stress. I can handle a lot of things but I hate worrying about money, especially when the consequences go beyond myself. My family was relying on me to provide an income and a future and I was on the threshold of letting them down.
I firmly believe that life is not really about what happens to you, it's how you handle what happens to you.
We all face challenges at some point in our lives and I was at a definite fork in the road.
I knew that one way was to do whatever it took to hang in and make my new business a success. I guess the other way was to ditch my dream and go back to work for someone else. But that would be giving up and it's simply not in my nature.
In the years leading up to 1990 I had experimented, like most agents, with marketing ideas to attract sellers with but with mixed success.
My real estate success strategy has always been fairly simple: Dedicate each morning to solid prospecting and in particular calling at least 30 contacts. This would keep my listing presentation schedule full. (By the way, this single routine daily task has won me more listings than I ever thought possible and if you take just one idea away from this story, I encourage you to copy this wildly successful success strategy)
I knew if I could start to build and maintain more relationships, I would have more people to prospect on a daily basis. This would give me more listing appointment opportunities, more listings and more sales.
As a passionate student of marketing, I had often wondered about the power of offering potential sellers information as a way to engage them.
While everyone else was offering free valuations I could change the game and do something completely different. But what?
With my back to the wall, I had very little to lose.
A big part of my real estate success up to this point was my ability to transform the way a property looked and help my seller get a better result.
I became skilled at choosing a 'look' that gave my listings broad appeal. It was a formula that worked every time. A better looking property gave me better looking marketing images, more (and often competing) buyers and very happy sellers.
My idea was to do a 'brain dump' of these ideas and show sellers everywhere how they had the power to influence their selling price by following my presentation formulas and ideas.
Naturally, a big part of the overall success was the agent who could bring everything together but I learned early on that people didn't want to know about the agent. They only wanted to know about things that would help them.
I learned that engaging a potential seller and giving them ideas that would help them was the secret to really connecting. After the relationship was forged and trust established, I was the obvious choice as their agent.
I remember one day, following a very successful sale, the seller, who was a big time advertising agency CEO told me the strategy I used to sell his home was the best he had ever seen. He told me something I've never forgotten and it quickly became part of my presentation 'pitch' to sellers.
Here's what he said:
"One of the most interesting and unique things about real estate is that it has no recommended retail price. Almost everything we can see around us has a RRP but not property. And unlike everything else, the value of property actually increases over time. You told us to do certain things before we went on the market and I believe that helped us achieve a result well above our expectations. You actually manipulated the market in our favour and I love the way you did that"
One of the highest paid ad guys on the planet had just given me a priceless marketing idea for free.
This comment from a very happy client not only gave me the point of difference I was looking for, it gave me the title for my booklet that would eventually turn into a bestselling book
Boosted by the comments from my ad agency client, I created a small booklet called How To Sell Your Home For More. It was a print-on-demand 32 page brochure.
I hired a designer to create a professional looking cover and I employed the specific rules I had learned from direct mail masters like David Ogilvy and John Caples to craft direct mail letters and flyers about the offer of my booklet.
My first letter drop was a complete disaster. I got zero responses. I dusted myself off and got back on the horse.
I went back to Ogilvy's direct mail rules and spent the next few weeks tweaking and testing with small 500 piece runs of letters and flyers.
The phone began to ring with people wanting a copy of the book. Success at last!!
I started to focus on the letters that gave me the best results and I began to get more and more calls from potential sellers looking for copies of the book.
One by one I started adding new contacts to my list of potential sellers.
Then slowly but surely, I started giving property appraisals and valuations to people who had asked for a copy of the book.
There is something indescribably satisfying that happens when you keep going against the odds and experience success. In a matter of months I was out of debt and into the black.
I'll be the first to admit that the extra income was welcome but my free book offer and direct mail success gave me the best feeling of vindication and confidence I had ever had and that's why I believe so passionately in the power of an idea.
I now owned a dynamic and compelling point of difference in the market. I also had a marketing weapon I could employ anytime to help me win more business.
I made the decision to expand the booklet into a real book and had a few thousand printed. My free book offer started to work better than ever. This success gave me the confidence to start thinking about other ways I could leverage the book to attract more contacts.
Then something totally unexpected happened.
Other agents, who had heard about my success with the book, the letters and flyers approached me to see if they could use the book in their local markets so I started to license the concept to real estate people everywhere.
In the years that followed I continually worked on improving the book to make sure it stayed fresh and had a broad appeal. As more agents started using the book, I ordered more books in greater quantities to reduce the price per unit even further.
I began using the book at open homes to attract potential sellers. I would keep a 'free book register' so anybody wanting a book would simply enter their name and contact details.
I tapped into my professional contacts and sent direct mail letters to their mailing lists offering a copy of the book. The funny thing is, I didn't even say it was my book but just a bestselling book that was helping property sellers everywhere sell for a better price.
Sending the book as part of my 'pre-listing kit' was a big success. Potential sellers were really pleased to receive an actual book instead of all the printed material my competitors were sending. In fact the more successful the book became, the more it stood out as being so different because all of my competitors talked about themselves not what was in it for the seller.
In the years that followed we developed dozens of different marketing cards, flyers and letters to help our member agents attract sellers.
Last year we started building Free Book Websites with automatic email follow up. This has been a huge success and a great way to leverage social media and online marketing.
I was careful to make sure only one agent per area could use the book and related material as this would preserve the integrity of the offer.
How could the book and 'sell for more' concept be a dynamic point of difference if many agents in the same area were making the same offer?
To date there have been 12 editions of the book and sales to agents and the public are now more than 200,000
I recently did an interview and was asked "what drives me?"
The question made me stop and think and a hundred things ran through my head.
I believe the number one thing that drives me is the success enjoyed by the many hundreds of agents who now use not just the book but the entire Bestagents marketing system.
What drives me is the sheer joy of knowing that my ideas are now used by so many agents who have put the system to work to build personal wealth and lifestyles they may not have otherwise had. I have added something very real and lasting to their lives and to the lives of those they love.
The flow on effect is that I know so many property sellers are getting a better result when they use a Bestagents member.
Coming to Canada in 2008 is another chapter in an exciting personal story.
I'm delighted to be growing Bestagents here in North America and building so many awesome friendships with agents far and wide.
Real estate has given me so much. I took a risk and a chance and look what happened!
I believe we owe it to ourselves to do whatever it takes to achieve the most we can achieve and I applaud the forward thinking and courageous men and women who are Bestagents members for having the conviction to change the game and reap the rewards for standing out in their market.
Your continued success is my real reward.

It's amazing that Super Mario is still such a popular games character, and you will probably have heard of the latest mobile version called Super Mario Run. If you haven't played it yet then you are really in for a treat, especially if you install it directly on your PC.
However, as this is a mobile platform game, it does take a little extra software to get you set up. With the help of this guide you will be up and running in just a few minutes, even if you do not have the right phone.
If you want to jump ahead to the installation instruction then check out the simple steps at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, keep reading to see what you can expect from this latest version Nintendo have come up with.
What Is Super Mario Run?
If you have ever played some of the old school Super Mario Bros games then this one will look quite familiar. The graphics are vastly improved and you will love them both on a phone and desktop computer.
The game is designed to only allow Mario run forward. That is the first thing to understand. You then use the phone or game controller to make Mario jump over obstacles that come along the way.
You will also need to collect objects that are scattered around the screen, the most obvious ones being the coins. This way you collect points and bonuses like special maneuvers.
If you think that the game might get boring you can rest assured that the three different game modes will take care of that. The first one is a single player mode called World Tour. You are given a certain amount of time to get to the end of each stage and collect as many coins as possible.
Toad rally is the name of the second game play where you can challenge other players. Essentially you run side by side with other players and have to use special jumps and coin collection to get toads to join you.
Finally, you can use the toads that have joined you to build your own Mushroom Kingdom. Essentially you will use your coins and toads to unlock items to set up your kingdom.
With all these different stages and up to 6 worlds you will certainly not get bored. But you might find that playing it on a desktop computer will work better than your phone. So let's look at what the main reasons would be.
Why Play It On Your PC?
The simple answer is that it is very unlikely that the game will ever be available as a Windows desktop or mobile application. That means that unless you have an iOS or Android phone you will not be able to play this game.
But there are other reasons as well. Your phone can be a great way to play games, but the small screen size and tilting of the phone are not always suitable for all games. You will be able to get a lot more out of this fantastic game by playing it on your Windows PC.
With the latest emulator software you will also be able to take advantage of using a game controller. This will really give your game play a huge boost as you will have a lot more precise control over Mario. And if you grew up using a game controller on a Nintendo console then using your phone will just not seem right.
Can This Be Easily Done?
As mentioned above Super Mario Run for PC is not available as such so you need to use some very clever software. An Android emulator is what you need to get and the great thing is that this will open up a whole new way of working with your apps.
Emulators like Nox App Player and Bluestacks are essentially virtual environments that make your PC act like a mobile platform. You simply launch the app in a window that looks just like your phone screen. With very little effort you will be ready to go and install any apps you want directly on your desktop.
Installation Instructions
If you are concerned that you might need to understand advanced IT skills or have a degree in programming then you are wrong. Very smart people have done all the hard work for you and all you need to do is follow some really simple instructions.
The great thing is that unlike many virtual operating systems available, Nox App Player is completely free and you can use your existing Google Account to download your free and purchased apps.
So, let's get you started and playing in just a few steps:
- Download the latest version of Nox App Player
- Once the download is complete launch the installer and follow the instructions
- At the end of the installation you can click on the start button
- You will be asked for your Google Account which will be linked to the Google Play Store
- When the app launches, you will see Google Play preinstalled
- All you have left to do is search for Super Mario Run on the store and download it.
That is literally it, you are ready to play a great game with the advantage of a larger screen and other games hardware you have. You are definitely going to have a totally new experience and will get a lot better results.
Final Thoughts
With this really simple setup you can get Super Mario Run for PC running in a matter of minutes. Emulators are really powerful ways to bring mobile apps onto the large screen and you can have all your favorite apps right there on one device.
This is also a great way to be able to get the latest apps that are not yet available on your platform. Simply use the emulator to run Android or iOS apps without having to buy the necessary phone or tablet. With a price tag of free you really cannot ask for more and can easily try out the apps you have always wanted to.

Fishburn and Hughes: A term derived from the school of philosophy founded in the fifth century BC by Parmenides of Elea, whose favourite pupil was Zeno. Opposing Heraclitus, and foreshadowing the idealism of Berkeley, the Eleatics argued against belief in the reality of motion and the plurality of things which would involve changes in the state of 'being'. They held that 'being' was necessarily one and unchanged, while individual things and movement were an illusion. Their teaching methods were based on a system of paradoxes or proofs 'ad absurdum', such as the flying arrow which passes through a series of points in which it is static and the race between Achilles and the tortoise to which Borges frequently refers.

character in the book of Job
Anglo-American poet and critic, 1888-1965, author of The Waste Land, Four Quartets, Tradition and the Individual Talent, Murder in the Cathedral and other works
Fishburn and Hughes: "An English poet and critic, born in USA. Eliot was the author of 'The Waste Land' (1922), an allegorical poem expressing man's need for salvation, and Four Quartets (1936-42), a series of poems evincing a preoccupation, shared by Borges, with time, individuality and the place of man in history.
The Immortal, CF 195: refers to Eliot's allusive vocabulary and deliberate anachronisms introduced 'to forge an appearance of eternity' (Nota sobre Walt Whitman, Disc. 122).
The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim CF 86: Eliot's work as a literary critic was equally important. Borges admired his criticism of the Elizabethans and shared his classical approach. Borges's seminal essay 'Kafka and his Precursors' (TL 363), in which he argues that a writer influences not only the future but also the past, is based on ideas expressed by Eliot in 'Tradition and Individual Talent'."

US poet and philosopher, 1803-82, author of Representative Men, The American Scholar, Brahma, Self-Reliance, History and numerous other works
Fishburn and Hughes: "An American poet and essayist who travelled to Europe in 1847-8, where he met Carlyle. He became one of the major exponents of the New England 'Transcendental School'. The philosophy of the movement, which had strong mystical and religious undertones, operated on him as a liberating force. It was based on the superiority of insight over logic, the unity of nature and the innate goodness of man. Many of Emerson's poems and essays elaborate the ideology of transcendentalism, as do the articles which he contributed to The Dial which he founded in 1840 as an organ of the movement.
The Other Death, CF 263; 226: 'The Past', which first appeared in the collection May-Day and Other Pieces (1867), begins with the lines: 'The debt is paid, / The verdict said', a statement that no power can alter what has been, for reality is irrevocable: 'Not the Gods can shake the past, nor the devil can finish what is packed / Alter or mend eternal Fact.'
The dry remark of the character Patricio Gannon that Spanish literature is so boring that 'it makes Emerson quite superfluous' does not reflect Borges's own opinion. Borges dedicated a poem to Emerson, declaring how vitally present Emerson's name remained to him and attributing to Emerson a nostalgia for a life 'not lived' which reflects Borges's own regrets (Sel. Poems, 189)." (66)

the hidden or infinite God, according to the Zohar
Fishburn and Hughes: "Hebrew for 'endless': a Cabbalistic term designating the impersonal and ineffable nature of God before his manifestation in the creation of the world. The negative emphasis of the term (en, 'nothing'; sof, 'end') seeks to convey the idea that God, as he existed before Creation, was unknowable to man, who was unable to express his existence. Any actual name would imply a limitation on the concept of God and therefore be an impossibility; the negative signifies a refusal to impose any boundaries upon the designation of God. This concept of a hidden God, 'that which is not conceivable by thinking', was a factor leading to the heretical belief in a duality between the impersonal and unfathomable God and the personal Demiurge of Creation which lay at the root of Gnosticism."

the eleventh edition of 1910-1911 is most frequently cited by Borges
Fishburn and Hughes: "Borges, attracted to the claim that encyclopaedias embrace the totality of human knowledge, as the word implies, owned a set of the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in 29 volumes (1910-11), the last edition to have been published in Britain. The tenth edition (1902-3), said in Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' to be the original of the piratical Anglo-American Cyclopaedia, is a reprint of the 24 volumes of the ninth edition plus 11 supplementary volumes, one containing new maps and one a comprehensive index to the whole work. The 20 volumes mentioned as circulating in the USA in about 1824 are probably the sixth edition of 1823. In 1824 these were reprinted with six supplementary volumes." (66)

Fishburn and Hughes: "The Roman national epic written by Virgil: it narrates the wanderings of the Trojan prince Aeneas after the destruction of Troy and his arrival in Latium. Virgil's intention was to show the divine origins of Rome and of the Emperor Augustus as a descendant of Aeneas, the son of Venus. See too The Immortal, CF 186: the line 'naked on the unknown sand' refers to the words spoken by Aeneas in anguish at the death of his friend the helmsman Palinurus: 'nudus in ignota, Palinure, iacebis arena' (5.871). Softened by the prayers of Venus, Neptune had at last agreed to allow the progress of the Trojan fleet and had promised a calm sea. But a victim was required: Palinurus was tempted into sleep and thrown into the water, later to be washed up on the shores of Italy." (3-4)

Fishburn and Hughes: A province in eastern Argentina on the border with Uruguay. Because of its strategic position near Buenos Aires and across the river from Uruguay, Entre Ríos has played an important part in the history of both countries. During the years of Federalism it was ruled by Urquiza, the caudillo who first invaded Uruguay under the orders of Rosas but later led the uprising that brought about Rosas's defeat. Entre Ríos played a seminal part in the eventual unification of the provinces. Entre Ríos was often involved in Uruguayan battles, and it is realistic to suppose that its men would probably have fought in the revolution of Aparicio Saravia. See India Muerta. The Other Death

Ange Goudart work, 1765, which Borges once refers to as El descubrimiento de Europa por los chinos
Parodi: los seis volúmenes de El espión chino o el enviado secreto de la corte de Pekín, para examinar la situación actual de Europa. Traducido del chino, fueron publicados en forma anónima en 1764. Su autor, Pierre Ange de Goudar (1708−1791), fue un aventurero, agente secreto del gobierno francés, estafador, tahúr, proxeneta, periodista y escritor de fama, autor de más de 500 obras de diversos géneros, que incluyen panfletos filosóficos y tratados de economía política. Escribió varias obras en que agentes secretos de diversos países comentan y critican las costumbres que observan. El espión chino contiene las supuestas cartas del Mandarín Cham-pi-pi a diversas autoridades de la China; con tono humorístico, ejerce la crítica satírica y propone cambios sociales y políticos. Si bien no se trata de literatura erótica como los demás títulos que se mencionan en este pasaje de "Signo", El espión chino fue prohibido en Inglaterra por atentar contra la moral.

The Theologians: no record has been found of a heretic called Euphorbus burnt at the stake. In the light of Pythagoras' statement, the name could have been deliberately chosen to reinforce the concept of people and events returning through time, as believed by 'the heretics of the wheel'." (68)

Biblical book of Ezekiel
Fishburn and Hughes: "The book of Ezekiel is the most mystical of the Old Testament books of prophecy. Ezekiel was deported by Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem to Babylon in 597, where he prophesied the redemption of the Jewish people from captivity. He preached the universality of God, insisting that the divine presence was confined neither to the Temple nor to Jerusalem. More than any other of the prophets, Ezekiel makes vivid use of symbolism; vision and ecstasy are his hallmarks.
The Aleph, CF 282: 'the vision of the four wheels' which is taken from Ezekiel 1:5-11, is a remarkable passage in that it does not seek to describe God directly but is a metaphor of the unfathomable appearance of his likeness. This powerful image later became the basis of a form of Jewish mysticism (Merkabah) concerned with speculations on the appearance of God on the Throne, and was also used in Christian iconography." (69)

Books make a home
We grew up being surrounded by books on every subject you could think of. In every move we have ever made, whether it's across continents or into dorm rooms, the packing and transporting of books has been a labor of love. We were raised to treat books with respect, make time to read them, and most importantly, judge those who don't.
For both of us, books are so important that their presence has become an integral part of our decorating sense (did you see our post on library ladders?). Their texture, colors, and different sizes turn into a wallpaper that everything else sits on. The subjects of our collections reflect what we're interested in and what inspires us. Spend minutes looking through our shelves and you can get a pretty accurate assessment of who we are. I have amassed tomes about slavery and African-American history, topped off with solid Ernest Hemingway, Henry James, and Alan Paton collections. My sister's collection focuses on Europe and languages with Nancy Mitford and Graham Greene sitting alongside Steven Pinker and Adam Gopnik.
While spending a lovely afternoon together we stopped at terrain and found Books Make a Home by Damian Thompson. It brought together all the regard we have for books in the home and ideas of using them to bring warmth, personality and intelligence into every space.

"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." (Genesis 50:20)
John Piper
The story of Joseph in Genesis 37–50 is a great lesson in why we should have faith in the sovereign future grace of God.
Joseph is sold into slavery by his brothers, which must have tested his patience tremendously. But he is given a good job in Potiphar's household. Then, when he is acting uprightly in the unplanned place of obedience, Potiphar's wife lies about his integrity and has him thrown into prison — another great trial to his patience.
But again things turn for the better, and the prison-keeper gives him responsibility and respect. But just when he thinks he is about to get a reprieve from the Pharaoh's cupbearer, whose dream he interpreted, the cupbearer forgets him for two more years.
Finally, the meaning of all these detours and delays becomes clear. Joseph says to his long-estranged brothers, "God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. . . . As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive" (Genesis 45:7; 50:20).
What would have been the key to patience for Joseph during all those long years of exile and abuse? The answer is: faith in future grace — the sovereign grace of God to turn the unplanned place and the unplanned pace into the happiest ending imaginable.

The privatised market is not meeting Britain's energy needs
The energy regulator OFGEM has cast doubt about the ability of the private sector to meet Britain's energy needs and stated that 'there is an increasing consensus that leaving the present system of market arrangements and other incentives unchanged is not an option'.
The Morning Star on 4 February 2010 commented that: 'OFGEM has been forced to admit that privatisation has, in fact, destabilised the energy industry, energy security for the country has been compromised and domestic consumers face swingeing rises in their energy bills. The free market and unbridled competition have worked their magic on energy in the same way as on finance and banking and the whole house of cards is set to come tumbling down.'

With the win, the Volunteers improve to 3-1 in the Great Rivers Athletic Conference and 9-2 overall. The Blue Knights fall to 0-3 in the league and 3-8 overall.
Four Logan players reached double figures in the victory. Sophomore Jordan Martin led the way with 12 points. Martavian Payne and Devontavius Payne each collected 11. It was Martavian's two free throws with four seconds left that put the game out of reach.
Tamas Bruce finished with 10 points. Ranell Crossland added eight points. Riley netted seven. Russell Woods knocked down six and Connor Wheeler hit a key 3-pointer in the second half.
"It's always tough to win here," said Vols head coach Kyle Smithpeters. "And it didn't help matters that we didn't shoot the ball very well (24-of-60 from the field or 40 percent, including 5-of-20 on threes or 25 percent) or play with enough energy at the start. Fortunately, we kept battling on the boards and held our composure down the stretch."
Smithpeters said he won't quarrel with style points.
"A win's a win. We held a good team to 64 points," he said. "There's not much I have to complain about. We'll shoot the ball better most of the time. We just have to make sure we play hard. If we do that, we're talented enough to win most of our games."
Logan returns home at 3 p.m. Saturday against Wabash Valley.

Former YouTube "monetization" head Shashi Seth is AOL's new senior vice president of gloabl advertising productings, reports Peter Kafka.
Shashi will answer to AOL ad boss Jeff Levick — like AOL CEO Tim Armstonrg, also an ex-Googler.
Shashi quit YouTube parent-company Google in 2008. At the time, he told Om Malik "I think part of being a Googler is that you like smaller environments, and I think Google got a little big for me."
Then Shashi joined startup Cooliris as its chief revenue officer. We haven't heard of Cooliris, but acoording to its Web site it's a "3D Wall that speeds up search on Google IMages, YouTube, Flickr and more."
Here is AOL's release;
NEW YORK, NY – September 29, 2009 – AOL announced that Shashi Seth has joined the company as Senior Vice President of Global Advertising Products, responsible for building and scaling AOL's advertising platform and developing industry-leading products. Seth comes to AOL from Cooliris, where he served as Chief Revenue Officer. Prior to that he was with Google, where he served most recently as head of monetization for YouTube.
"Shashi is unmatched in the industry as an innovator with an outstanding track record of developing new and better ways to serve advertisers on the Web," said Jeff Levick, President of Global Advertising and Strategy at AOL. "As we move forward on our strategy of becoming the world's largest provider of display advertising, Shashi will play a critical role in creating the best products in the business for our advertising partners."
"I'm grateful to have the opportunity to come to AOL as it moves toward becoming an independent company," said Seth. "The company already has an incredible combination of scale and a suite of great advertising products and technology, and I'm looking forward to working with AOL's talented team to build on this strong foundation."
Seth will report directly to Levick from AOL's expanding Mountain View offices, joining Brad Garlinghouse, who was recently appointed to lead AOL's Communications efforts and lead the company's West Coast AOL Ventures efforts.
Prior to coming to AOL, Seth was with Cooliris, where he was responsible for revenue generation and business development. At Google, Seth was responsible for building advertising products, exploring all monetization opportunities, and defining business models for YouTube. Before that, Seth was the Product Lead for Web Search at Google. Prior to Google, Seth was with eBay, where he was responsible for building and managing eBay's successful APIs & Platform. He has also worked for the Gap, where he launched their online stores, and co-founded two startups. Seth started his career at NASA Langley Research centre, where he built flight simulators and avionics equipment. Seth holds a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Kanpur, India, a Masters in Computer Applications from the University of Pune, India, and a M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Miami.

"- it is precisely this otherworldliness beyond language that gives it its power and strange allure. The desire to feel and see something that is not of the everyday and not easily understood yet directly affective and an affirmation of our lives. The way to this experience in art is through the suspension of usual ways of understanding the world by languaging it - by making it meaningful in a conventional sense of meaning."
