Russia's Global Trade Agenda
The National Interest, 23 January 2013
Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization in 2012 marked its full and final acceptance into the international trade regime. For the United States and other WTO-member countries, the rewards of Russia's entry are immediate; they now will receive increased access to the Russian market and will be able to rely on recognized rules and procedures to settle future trade disputes. Russia, in contrast, perhaps wisely remains much less sanguine about the benefits of joining the WTO, especially during the initial transition period.
Why Russia Won't Help on Syria
The New York Times, 1 January 2013
WITH all the high-level diplomatic visits to Moscow and accompanying news headlines, a casual observer might easily conclude that Russia holds the key to resolving the Syrian crisis.
The Frivolous U.S.-Russian Relationship
The National Interest, 31 December 2012
The conventional account of what's happening in U.S.-Russian relations these days goes something like this: Some Americans, notably Maryland's Democratic Senator Benjamin Cardin, were outraged when a Russian lawyer named Sergei Magnitsky was arrested on what appeared to be trumped up charges and then died in police custody. It seemed to be all too typical of Russian human rights abuses, and Cardin pushed for legislation to sanction Russians involved in such abuses by denying them entrance to the United States and use of its banking system.
Is Russia Changing Its Relationship With Syria?
NPR, 4 December 2012
George Mason University professor Mark Katz is an expert on Russia's role in the Middle East. Russia is the Syrian government's main arms supplier. Professor Katz talks to David Greene about whether Russia's support for Damascus is flagging as the Syrian military continues to battle opposition rebels
China's strategic focus with Russia, an opportunity for Asia
Pravda, 4 December 2012
With global political scenarios changing with a rapid pace, China has been high on its heels in pursuit of increasing influence in the region. The amount of recent investment by Beijing on military and naval technology is more than what it used to be in the past. With successful inauguration of its first major aircraft carrier, it seems China wants to flex its wings more than ever in order to improvise on the power vacuum that the world is currently facing due to a series of ongoing wars and conflicts.
Will Russia offer anything new during G20 presidency?
Pravda, 6 December 2012
Russia has become the presiding state of the Group of Twenty (G20) during a crucial period of development of the world in terms of both geopolitics and economics. The globalized world redistributes spheres of influence and offers several strategies to overcome the crisis. Will Russia be able to offer a new one?

Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are locked in a too-close-to-call battle for Florida, according to a new poll by Florida Atlantic University.
The survey of 1,200 likely voters showed Trump holding a 43 percent to 41 percent lead over Clinton, within the poll's almost 3 percent margin-of-error. Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson grabbed 8 percent of respondents, with another 5 percent undecided.
A St. Leo University Polling Institute survey released Tuesday gave Clinton a 14 percent lead over Trump in Florida.
In the FAU survey, Trump and Clinton both have unfavorable ratings pushing close to 60 percent — while they are rated favorably by only just over 40 percent of voters.
"Both Mr. Trump and Secretary Clinton are significantly upside down in their favorability ratings. This could make it difficult for either to move substantially ahead," said Kevin Wagner, an FAU political scientist.
"Secretary Clinton likely got a boost from the fact that Floridians chose experience as the top quality they are looking for in their Presidential candidate. But, Floridians also chose dissatisfaction with government as their top issue which likely favors Mr. Trump," he added.
Clinton leads Trump across most age categories and gets strong support from black voters, Hispanics and — to a much lesser degree, women voters, in the FAU poll. Trump gets his strongest backing from white men and independent voters.
In Florida's U.S. Senate race, Republican Marco Rubio and Democrat Patrick Murphy are well ahead in their primary contests, set to be decided Tuesday. In a potential November match-up, Rubio leads Murphy by 44 percent to 39 percent.
The survey by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economic Polling Initiative was conducted Aug. 19-22. For primary contests, more than 300 likely voters were surveyed for a margin-of-error of plus-or-minus 5 percent. The general election survey polled 1,200 likely voters.

RPS Interview: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
A few weeks back I went to see Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising at Codemasters HQ. While I was there I had a chat with executive producer Sion Lenton, who had quite a lot to say about Codemasters' take new on the military shooter. What follows is my transcript of that conversation, in which Lenton talks about the balance of realism in the game, the "documentary" feel, the horror of war, and responsibility of making a serious war game accessible to the majority of gamers.
RPS: So tell us a bit about what you're trying to do with Flashpoint.
Lenton: "What are we trying to do with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising? Well, the original was obviously a classic, one of those rare genre-defining games, and I was here in QA at Codies when it arrived, and I was blown away with what it did. That said, a lot of shooters of many different kinds of have gone under the bridge since that time, and it made no sense to resurrect that same game. We wanted to do something that was more 2009. The original game was unapproachable, and my job is to bring that same kind of game to lots more people. That means there's a lot to consider. We do have to consider the consoles too, so we don't want to create something that is punitive, or with a learning curve that is too steep, but at the same time it would be crazy to devalue the franchise into the Call Of Duty run-and-gun whack-a-mole style gameplay. PC depth with console accessibility, that's the drive for me: to align all the platforms the game is going to be on. The PC guys should not think they're getting some dodgy port, we've made it so that all three platforms have been developed for together, head to head."
"All that said, this is a game that is challenging. As a console game, it's very tough indeed. Not a simulation as such, but it's hardcore, and it's an 18+ rating in the UK. This is a mature game. People don't need their hands held all the way through, because gamers have a certain level of experience. It's quite a hard task master. And it's all about realism, that's been one of my key words: realism. Documentary over Hollywood. Our technical, equipment and asset research has all been about seeing how these things work in the real world. We did a lot of work with the marines on this stuff, learning about radio talk, or what happens if a gun jams. All of these things feed into the experience, because we've experienced them."
"We've done a lot of work in that area, and we're really proud of our relationship with the US Marines. We got a load of US Marines playing this, actually, and they seemed to enjoy it – they totally understood about playing co-op, and they were laughing and shouting out commands to each other."
RPS: If it's not a sim, how does the realism manifest itself?
Lenton: "Realism appears in everything you see on the field of battle. From the smoke effects to the damage models. This is more like the footage you're going to see of actual conflict on the BBC News, rather than some action movie. And it's interesting to compare the reality of ordnance to how it's portrayed: take grenades, for example, the actual bang of a grenade is tiny compared to the great fireball flash you usually get in games. The explosion of a real grenade is very small, and it's the radial-effect of shrapnel that does the damage. We recreate that."
"But the crucial thing is that it's a very personal narrative. It could almost be seen as a survival horror game: just staying alive when you're at war, in a desperate situation, is often all you can do. What the original Flashpoint did really well was a sense of danger, a sense of personal danger, and we're bringing that back. Thinking back to the footage of the Falklands conflict in the early 1980s, you remember that desolate glimpse of soldiers trudging across desolate islands with all their gear? Well there's some analogy here for us. Skiira island is on the other side of the world, and you've got this friction going on for why you are there and what you are fighting for."
"Realism is in the basic elements of the game: such as how damage is handled. You don't get to squat behind a rock to be healed, instead you're in danger of bleeding to death. You've got eight pints of blood, and when those bleed out, you're gone. Even when you patch up, it's not all fine. If you've been hit you'll still have a limp. We've made the death as harrowing as possible."
RPS: Is it one-shot kill?
Lenton: "Yes. A head shot will be a kill. But it's more complex than that: you can shoot through a guy's leg or chest, and he won't die instantly, even if he goes down. You might reach his position and see him bleeding to death. It's going to be horrible to see. We didn't want to make death too light or too easy. The same damage system is true for you, which makes things more challenging. We want to make death as unpleasant as possible, and to make players more careful. You're not going to run through an open field with your guns blazing. The game will teach you not to do that."
"And I should say that the documentary thing is essential to us because we want people to feel like they're close to the reality of war. Audio feeds into that: if you can hear a machinegun firing, you're probably okay, but if you can hear bullets impacting around you, well, you're in trouble. We've captured that in the audio for this game. Hear bullets? You'll hit the deck and assess your situation. That's another lesson we learned from the marines who had seen real combat around the world."
RPS: So you'd say the gun combat was more realistic than most shooters out there?
Lenton: "Well unlike, say, Call Of Duty, the combat is generally at a medium-range distance – a few hundred metres, say. Making that interesting for the player has been a significant challenge. It can't just be two guys shoot at each other from behind a rock and half a kilometre until one of them is dead. So that's where team-work comes in. You are the leader of a fire-team, there's you and three other guys. You command them via a radial menu, which is a system we're very pleased with. It becomes muscle-memory as you play, so you have sort of combo moves: "flank left and attack", sort of thing, with just a few button presses that become totally instinctual. We teach the player these basic moves, so your players can lay down suppressing fire so you can flank, and they become second nature. The morale system ties into this, obviously, you'll see enemies falling back if things are looking difficult for them. They'll even chuck out smoke grenades to cover their retreat. And the same is true for you: smoke is real cover, AI can't detect you through it."
"Suppression is essential, of course, but it's not flagged with any icon or anything. No "they are suppressed", it's about real feedback. And that's realistic to war: when the marines attack their first play will often be to get the enemy's heads down, so they can move in. You'll actually see enemies hit the deck or dive behind cover when you fire, and it's then down to you to make the most of those opportunities to win."
RPS: Tell me about the environment itself – those are some rather large looking islands, which I understand are based on some real islands out near the China and Russia end of the Pacific? How open is it, really?
Lenton: "It's a big old map we've got here, about 225km square of area, and you can go anywhere. The missions in the campaign tend to be from west to east, and we're trying to get a sort of visual language going with the missions. When we originally focus tested the game we got the impression we were on exercises in the lake district, so we did another art pass to make a scar across the island in which the battle takes place. It gives the players more visual clues about where they should be going, and where the action is going to be. I'm mean we're not going to create a trail of glowing breadcrumbs for you, because we can do this with art assets: we can have some ruins there, a bunker here, some ruins there, and the human brain naturally sees those as areas of interest, and so you're lead to keep your attention going in a certain direction, because it's more visually interesting. It's the racing line, the best play through the level. People do stick to it, too."
"On easy mode you'll have a HUD element to highlight these things for you too. That said, you don't have to follow this line. The game is completely open. If you want to hike for miles to come into a new angle you can. Go collect your thoughts in the woods like I did in the original Operation Flashpoint. We have tools to optimise this, actually. We've logged all the movements of the testers through the terrain too, so we can actually see where they go, and how the approach something. You can see QA guys who have played through a couple of times deviating off and exploring other angles of attack. That's helped us balance the game."
"In terms of atmosphere there's several layers: we have a beautiful weather system and day-night, but we also have this theatre of war element to it. The battle will be going on all around you, and you'll see the results of that across the landscape. We're trying to stay away from HUD and AI indicators. A plume of smoke should tell you where the action is without there being a big glowing arrow."
RPS: You've talked a bit about difficulty levels… "easy mode"?
Lenton: "The world in Operation Flashpoint is set. The difficulty levels don't change the amount of damage or how many enemies there are, or their AI, instead it's a case of what elements there are helping you, and what aids are on screen. Driver aids, assists, so to speak. On easy you get a cross-hair that changes colour for friend and foe, you get full direction of incoming damage, you get a hit-indicator, you get waypoints. On hard mode, you have a compass and a weapon menu, no crosshair. Iron-sights only. We're trying to cater for extremes, but keeping the game ultimately the same experience. You can't be all things to all people, but we're hoping that people will start on easy and start removing elements."
"And the toybox is big, so there's loads of learn: there are loads of vehicles, weapons, artillery, and so on. You don't have to be a chopper pilot to fly a chopper, however. It's tricky, but it's not impossibly hard. We wanted it to be a challenge and not an arcade thing."
"Of course all this ties into online, too. The entire campaign is a four-player co-op experience, because there's four men in your fire-team. We know that can work. Four player co-op is proving to be a rather popular feature right now. You're going to be able to drop straight into that with our online game."
RPS: And this build of the game is looking pretty finished. You're all set for release?
Lenton: "We're content complete, but there's lots of tweaking and tuning and testing to be done. We've got about a month or so of balancing to do. We're caveats away from the finished game."
RPS: Thanks, Sion. We'll look forward to getting our hands on it later this year.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is set for release on October 6th in North America and October 9th in Europe.

Exhibition Counterpoint, Contemporary Russian Art — From the Icon to the Avant-Garde by way of the Museum
from October 14, 2010 to January 31, 2011
Erik Bulatov, Liberté
Adagp, Paris 2009
In the wake of the exhibition "Holy Russia, Russian Art from the Beginnings to Peter the Great", the Musée du Louvre wished to draw a portrait of contemporary Russian creation by exhibiting the works of around fifteen artists from a variety of generations and movements.
The museum — which does not have a Slavic art department — chose the medieval Louvre for its display, since these archeological vestiges convey architectural utopias that are echoed in the works of artists such as Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Igor Makarevitch and Elena Elagina or Pavel Pepperstein. This subterranean space also fuels fiction and the imagination, as shown in the works of Alexeï Kallima, Valery Koshlyakov and Vadim Zakharov, as well as Yuri Leiderman, who will create a performance for his Geopoetics series, and Yuri Albert, who will invite visitors to tour his collections blindfolded.
Another space invested by the Counterpoint, the Tuileries Garden will receive the Pavillon Rotonda II by Alexander Brodsky, a famous architect, but also a sculptor. Painting, sculptures, drawings, photographs, videos and performance art all make reference to Russian artistic tradition, from the icon to the museum, not to mention a critical rereading of the avant-garde. At the entrance, Liberté by Erik Bulatov sets the tone, engaging discourse between realist propagandist esthetic and homage to Delacroix.
Artists incessantly cite suprematism and constructivism, the iconic paintings of Malevich and Tatlin's Tower, symbol of revolutionary utopia like the Tower of Babel. Others like Komar and Melamid, Avdei Ter-Oganyan and Blue Noses are devoted to an ironic vision of art history. Conversely, videos by Olga Chernysheva and Dmitry Gutov, drawing inspiration from the Tretyakov Gallery and the Russian Museum, offer a more poetic vision of the museum.
This event is part of France's "Year of Russia" celebrations and is supported by its patronage committee.
Exhibition organized by the Musée du Louvre with the National Center For Contemporary Art in Moscow (NCCA) and the Stella Art Foundation.
With the support of Louis Vuitton.
In partnership with Métro, France culture and Paris première.
Organized by: Marie-Laure Bernadac, curator in charge, special advisor on contemporary art at the Louvre, assisted by Pauline Guelaud.

Pressure is mounting in Japan on Toyota's embattled president, Akio Toyoda, to reassure US drivers and restore confidence in Japanese exports, hours before he faces a grilling in the US congress over the safety recall of millions of cars.
Government officials today voiced concerns that fierce and prolonged criticism of Toyota in the US could spark a wider backlash against Japanese goods, just as exports are beginning to show real signs of life.
Japan's exports rose by almost 41% in January compared with last year, according to figures released today. Exports to Asia leapt 68.1%, while those to the US grew 24%, the finance ministry said.
The foreign minister, Katsuya Okada, said he hoped Toyoda would reassure the American public when he testifies on Capitol Hill later today.
"I certainly would like to hope this matter will not undermine the trust of the Americans, not just [in] Toyota as a company, but Japan as a whole," Okada said in an interview with the Guardian. "It is essentially a matter of one enterprise ... there's very little the Japanese government can do."
In written testimony released before his appearance in front of the house oversight and government reform committee, Toyoda said he was "deeply sorry" for accidents caused by defective Toyota vehicles.
"As you well know, I am the grandson of the founder, and all the Toyota vehicles bear my name," he said. "For me, when the cars are damaged, it is as though I am as well. I, more than anyone, wish for Toyota's cars to be safe, and for our customers to feel safe when they use our vehicles."
Optimism over Japan's export recovery was tempered by a report warning that damage to exports of cars and vehicle parts, which accounted for about 15% of total exports last year, could trigger a fall in GDP.
A hypothetical 3% cut in Japan's car output would equate to a drop of 0.12 percentage points, or ¥600bn, in nominal GDP, the Daiwa Research Institute said.
A fall of that size could lead to the loss of almost 50,000 jobs and have serious knock-on effects for other sectors, such as the electronics and service industries, it said.
Yesterday the government downgraded its view on exports for this month, partly as a result of the Toyota recall. The cabinet office said exports were "increasing moderately" – a weaker assessment than last month when it said they were "increasing".
The transport minister, Seiji Maehara, a critic of Toyota's handling of the recall, reminded the firm of its responsibilities as the global face of Japan, Inc.
"Toyota is not only a Japanese company but also a local US company, and its subcontractors are very much localised," he said.
"In that respect Toyota should be fully aware of its responsibilities as an American company and as part of the American economy and face the [congressional] hearings earnestly and sincerely."
Japanese TV showed clips of yesterday's testimony by Jim Lentz, president of Toyota Motor Sales USA, but more airtime was devoted to the performances of Japan's women figure skaters at the Vancouver Olympics.
"Even if figure skating is really what's on people's minds, I think people will be interested in seeing how Toyoda-san will perform," Koichi Nakano, a professor of political science at Sophia University in Tokyo, told the Associated Press.
Japanese broadsheets echoed fears that Toyota's woes could spread to other sectors, given its place at the heart of the country's manufacturing tradition.
"Considering that Toyota represents Japan's corporate identity, a loss in confidence would potentially affect all Japanese products," said an editorial in the Nikkei business daily.
The Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's biggest-selling newspaper, said it hoped Toyoda would "take to heart his position as the de facto captain of this nation's manufacturing industry".
Shares in Toyota fell 1.5% to ¥3,275 in Tokyo today. They have lost about 20% of their value since 21 January, when the recall was expanded to cover millions of vehicles with "sticky" accelerators.

Things You'll Need
- Non-toxic glue
- Bowls
- Food coloring
- Wooden spoon
- Glitter
- Borax
- Cup
- Zipper lock bag
Flubber is a non-toxic, gooey substance that has no practical purpose, aside from being a fun craft project for children. However, adult supervision is recommended during creation and play. Flubber can be made in only a few minutes using a combination of borax, glue, and food coloring. You can make approximately 12 ounces of flubber.
Empty a four ounce bottle of non-toxic glue into a clean, empty bowl and stir in ten drops of the food coloring of choice using the wooden spoon. Act quickly before the glue can begin to dry.
Pour one teaspoon of glitter into the glue and stir in in. Add one teaspoon of borax into one cup of lukewarm water. Stir with a wooden spoon until all of the borax dissolves.
Add the borax solution to the glue mixture, stirring continuously with the wooden spoon. After five to ten minutes, the mixture will thicken into a glob.
Knead the flubber with your hands until it becomes smooth and dries completely.
Store the flubber in a zipper lock bag. Leave a small hole in the seal and press all excess air out. Seal the bag until the next use.
Alternatively, you can use pre-colored glue instead of using food coloring to add color to the flubber.
Children should be supervised while playing with flubber. It should not be ingested or allowed to come in contact with the eyes.

Luis Gonzaga was a seasonal employee at Snow Mountain Ranch this past winter. He worked in Food Service and later became a volunteer photographer for the Marketing Department. Luis took some amazing photographs of property, and wanted to share his experience at Snow Mountain Ranch. Some of his work can be found below.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I'm from Brazil.
Q: How did you hear about Snow Mountain Ranch? What made you want to come here?
A: I heard about Snow Mountain Ranch in the interchange agency, when I was searching the best option, and I chose it because I never saw snow before, and I thought that work at the YMCA would provide me that experience (and i was right, there's a lot of snow at Snow Mountain Ranch, right?). In addition, the fact that Snow Mountain Ranch provides housing, food, travel, among other things convinced me to work there.
Q: In which department did you work while at Snow Mountain Ranch?
A: I worked in Food Service, and as a volunteer in the Marketing Department.
Q: Had you been to Colorado before coming to Snow Mountain Ranch?
A: No, never! In fact, this was my first time in the USA!
Q: What did you think when you first arrived?
A: Well, everything was different! The weather, the people, the food, the way to do stuff, even the sky! The forests are not as diverse as Brazilian forests, but they are beautiful in the same way! Especially the pines and the rocks covered with snow. And, when I arrived at Snow Mountain Ranch I thought it was very cool, because every place was decorated for Christmas, and I felt really welcomed by people!
Q: What was your favorite part of working at Snow Mountain Ranch?
A: I was able to meet and interact daily with people from various parts of the world, learn new skills working in the kitchen, and had contact with the snow (which I would never have in Brazil).
Q: What did you do in your free time?
A: Sometimes I used to walk around and take some pictures around Snow Mountain Ranch, but whenever I could, I would schedule a trip to Denver, to go to the zoo, museums, and sometimes to the shopping mall too! Denver is really cool!
Q: What was the coolest or most fun thing you did while in Colorado?
A: Probably skiing, even falling a lot of times! But Colorado was awesome! The landscapes are wonderful, the people are kind and welcoming, the places are really interesting and the beer is delicious!
Q: What have you gained from working here?
A: I gained new skills in food service, new leadership skills, as I was promoted to supervisor, new friends from various countries of the world, a new and better world view, improved my English, learned a lot about American culture and improved my self-discipline. The exchange was a wonderful experience, which I recommend to everyone, both for personal and professional growth!
Here are some of Luis's photos, taken at Snow Mountain Ranch.

Focus on your sleeping position if you suffer from back pain issues. Put a pillow under your head and shoulders. Then, you can get rolled up towels put under your neck and knees so you're able to stabilize your body's three major curves. You also want to sleep on a mattress that is comfortable.
Properly get out of your bed in the morning. Do this by stretching and rising up slowly before you fully get up. Next, swing the legs over to the floor by supporting yourself with your arms. Getting out of bed in this manner cuts down your odds of a spinal injury happening.
Don't be afraid to ask your chiropractor about discounts; they may offer one the more frequently you visit. Multiple chiropractic treatments are often needed to alleviate symptoms. You might need to go a couple of times weekly for months in a row. The costs could rise. Some practices give nice discounts for ongoing treatments, which can ease your wallet as well as your pain.
Choose your chiropractor wisely. Most chiropractors will relieve your pain, but some aren't quite so trustworthy. In fact, it's possible for a chiropractor to do harm. Do your research so you know what you are getting into.
If you have chiropractic issues, your sleep position is of utmost importance. A good idea is to place a rolled up towel or cervical pillow under your neck when going to sleep. They let your head drop back instead of normal pillows pushing your head forward.
This article has shown you that back pain doesn't need to take over your life. You can do many different things to help the pain. The tips here will help you get better, sooner!
Tips You Should Know If You See A Chiropractor

I guess I went all the way to Death Guild and didn't even get out of the car.
So I guess after that I came home.
And my purse mysteriously dumped itself out.
I woke up in Sophie's bed.
And notepad was open, with a note in it. Like it was a real notepad.
I am the prettiest princess!!

Hi Everyone,
I have a clean and simple thank you card to share with you today. It uses the Ruler stamp from the most recent release and I'm thinking it would be a great stamp for any sewing enthusiast or even a teacher. I'm sure no one is ready to hear about back to $(#@@! yet, so notice I'm not mentioning it :) :) :) Let's enjoy the summer while we can, right?
Anyway, I stamped the ruler on yellow card stock, heat embossed it using clear embossing powder, and did some easy peasy fussy cutting. I dry embossed my white background and die cut a punny sentiment using alphabet dies. The hardest part was trying to line up the letters. I'd like to tell you I used that ruler to make sure the letters were straight, but I ended up just eyeballing it after I attached the ruler with dimensional foam tape.
Be sure to join us for our color challenge this week! Details can be found here.

In hockey, as in life, there are archetypes built on hyperbole and buzz words which are designed to fit every player into a pre-defined box. Scouts and evaluators often fall prey to lazily characterizing young prospects in this way; the power forward, the two-way centre, the speedy winger, the one-dimensional scorer, the elusive European, the stay-at-home defenceman. But sometimes, just sometimes, there's a player that is so uniquely different from everyone else in approach or in ability, that you can't help but notice him. These players have mastered their skill and used it to set themselves apart. The Gifted is a 10-part series which examines through video the NHL's most fascinating prospects and the unique skillsets that define them. It runs every Wednesday.
The Gifted: Part 1: Carl Grundstrom | Part 2: Jordan Kyrou | Part 3: Vitalii Abramov | Part 4: Juuso Valimaki | Part 5: Vili Saarijarvi | Part 6: Filip Chlapik | Part 7: Travis Sanheim | Part 8: Timo Meier | Part 9: Kirill Kaprizov | Part 10: Elias Pettersson
Every team has one. Even in beer league, there's always that one player who just does the same thing every time he touches the puck. He throws it on net. He wants the goal so badly that he'll throw the puck on net from anywhere. When he digs it out of the corner and the point's open, what does he do? He throws it on net. When he's in on a 2-on-1, what does he do? He throws it on net. He doesn't look pass. He doesn't even pretend to look pass. He just gets pucks on net.
Carl Grundstrom is that player, but at the highest level.
It's not easy being successful as that player. In hockey's elite levels, when you're predictable, you're easily defended. If you're going to be that player, and remain successful, you have to do a few things really well.
You have to be fast, a skater who can out-race most others for loose pucks. If you're going to throw everything on net, you need to be able to win the races for your rebounds too.
You have to be physical. If your primary focus is picking up shots on goal, you need to be relentless in your pursuit of the puck and just pesky enough to win it back and piss someone off in the process.
Most of all, you need to have a good shot. Shooters need to score.
Fourtunately for Grundstrom, the Toronto Maple Leafs second-round pick in 2016, he checks all three of the necessary boxes.
In order to understand just how he makes it work, I cut and edited all 43 of his SHL points (24 goals and 19 assists) as well as all nine of his Champions Hockey League points (five goals, four assists). They reveal some interesting truths about players like Grundstrom, players the Leafs have a penchant for pursuing. (See: Nikita Soshnikov and Leo Komarov, who operate in a similar fashion, though not to Grundstrom's extreme.)
One of the first things you'll notice about Grundstrom's complete stat line is that his goals outnumber his assists 29-23. That might suggest, at least on its facade, that Grundstrom is a better passer than given credit for.
But what if I told you that of his six assists in the SHL's regular season last year (to his 14 goals), only one actually came off of an even-strength a pass?
This is it, the crowning jewel:
And even still, there's something in this play that epitomizes what Grundstrom is all about. Notice the way he adjusts his stance as he carries the puck behind the net. As soon as he hits the near post, he slows down his pace, edges just for a split second towards the back of the net and… looks for the wraparound attempt before No. 64 does an excellent job closing his lane, forcing him to his backhand, and taking away his shot.
His other five assists last year? They came on the power-play or looked something like this (Grundstrom is No. 3):
And this might be the fourth requisite skill: If you're going to be a shooter, shoot low. Shoot for the rebound. Grundstrom has mastered this. In today's game, top prospects are often picky about their shot selections. They want to shoot to score and that means finding open net and picking your spot. Most often, that means they tend to shoot high and miss the net. Grundstrom doesn't have that problem and regularly generates assists off of his shots as a result.
Grundstrom can beat goalies high too though. He may be predictable in a lot of ways, but where he finishes is not one of them.
Here, with a rebound option clearly open in front, Grundstrom picks his spot under the bar and scores far-side high:
On this goal, through traffic, shooting low or finding the trailer (passing? Ha!) are the high percentage plays but Grundstrom takes a risk and scores high and short-side.
And here, without any other options and all alone, Grundstrom just gets to use his low-kick, stunted release to let one go:
Grundstrom's not limited to an in-stride wrist shot either. He is built heavy and powers through on his extensions to give himself a heavy one-timer — which he loves to use, rather than corral passes and make a play.
He also goes to the net with with an aggressiveness that few other prospects on the planet do. If your modus operandi is to get pucks on net, you can often find those pucks in and around the crease.
Here's Grundstrom scoring off of a redirect off of his pants:
And this net-driven, crease-craving nature isn't new.
Here's Grundstrom (No. 44), driving the crease to score off of his skate in 2014, full cage and all. Watch the bottom of the frame from the start, and notice Grundstrom's sightline from his defensive zone blueline onward.
There, he knows the play is going the other way and he goes end-to-end in four seconds to push towards the front of the net. On a play that developed like this one did, most third forwards (F3) would have avoided the three opposing players collapsing on the front of the net and slid high into the slot.
Not Grundstrom.
In order to finish off plays in front, you have to know better than most where the rebounds are going to end up, too. If there's one thing he likes more than shooting for the rebound, it's attacking the far post for them.
Note where he ends up on a slew of his other goals:
And then there's that physicality.
When Grundstrom doesn't have a lane on net to just shoot it, he's got the strength and the ability to control play off of his backhand (as seen in his lone primary assist) to guard against checks as a carrier. As a result, a lot of his goals start to look the same.
Notice on both of the following plays how, as soon as he touches the puck, he's dropping his lead arm and attacking the inside lane on defenders:
And there's a mastery to making these plays, at the top of the crease, so consistently. For Grundstrom, it's in his edge work. Notice here, on a third nearly identical goal, how Grundstrom opens up his stance after taking the puck to the front of the crease, enabling him to beat the goalie to the far post.
You put it all together and you've got a player who, in spite of a complete lack of awareness (though it might not even be that, maybe Grundstrom does recognize the pass options and just chooses not to find them), succeeds off of the strength of one perfected tool. You give a physical, athletic, up-tempo hockey player a relentless puck-pursuing spirit and pair it with a turn-and-shoot or turn-and-drive attitude, and you've got something. While Grundstrom is never the primary driver on his line, he complements players who can find him in space and learn the ins and outs of his unique style.
Sometimes it manifests itself in plays like this, where on three different sequences Grundstrom takes a shot, follows the play behind the net to retrieve his own rebound, makes a pass to the point because there's traffic in front and he doesn't have a shot option off his backhand, drives to the front of the net, picks off the point shot, and turns to his backhand to score:
Most of all, it endears him to coaches — coaches who trumpet the cliched "pucks on net" catchphrase.
Before we know it, it could take him to the NHL.

Greetings, family and friends . . .
The launch of any new small business created on a shoestring requires some sort of initial capital funding to pay for things like advertising and new equipment. Toposim is no different. Towards that end, I am offering an initial series of heavily-discounted short-term zero-coupon bonds, maturing in six months to one year, the proceeds of which are earmarked to purchase advertising banners at major flightsim sites, as well as to enable the purchase of a new computer to accelerate the production and release of new products, as well as provide enhanced storage capacity for the considerable amount of refined source data, several terabytes worth(!), that I am accumulating as the global terrain build-out progresses.
As some of you may know, I founded, owned, and operated FSGenesis, which grew to become a prominent company in the ecosystem that has formed around Microsoft Fight Simulator during the past 20 years or so. From 1998 to 2013, FSGenesis earned a great reputation for the best service and support in the industry while specializing in high-quality, high-resolution terrain mesh selling to the consumer market at a reasonable price point. Having taken a couple of years off from flightsim development to travel and seek out new adventures, I am now settled back in, taking that earlier learning experience and applying it to Toposim while creating a brand-new business from the ground up.
While still selling to the legacy Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed-Martin Prepar3D (P3D) end-user consumer market, I have recently been recruited to join the development team at Next Generation iNTERACTiVE Software for work on a new "next-generation" simulation platform in the early stages of development. The refined source data I am now creating will form the topographical base of this new cutting-edge simulator, which is poised to become an early example of a true holodeck supporting the emerging virtual reality technologies to provide the deepest levels of realism and true immersion that heretofore could only be imagined.
While my involvement in this new project has the potential to provide significant compensation several quarters down the road, for now my participation is voluntary, so I am relying on revenues from this web site to support my continuing topographic development efforts, which are proceeding 12 to 18 hours a day. During this month alone I have managed to add nearly 50 new products to the Toposim Distribution Center, using an almost paleolithic five-year-old laptop. That said, web site traffic remains minimal due to insufficient resources to orchestrate a proper marketing campaign to bring potential customers through the store. Hence, I am making this private bond issue available at very attractive rates as a means to raise the initial capital necessary to purchase advertising and a new production computer to kick-start the revenues of my new enterprise.
As well, I intend to move into the wider GIS data market, serving a variety of commercial industry and institutional needs with the potential for significant revenue growth beyond the flight simulator consumer space. From here the sky is indeed the limit with proper marketing and exposure — which, of course, requires sufficient financial resources, which I do not currently possess.
Not wishing to navigate the complex regulatory maze that would be involved in a public bond offering, I am making this investment opportunity available privately by invitation only to family members and friends in the form of zero-coupon bonds paying a significant return, more than 30% on two bonds with a six-month maturity, and one with a one-year maturity, linked below. I greatly appreciate your consideration and look forward to participating in a true financial win-win situation with all of you going forward.
Thanks much in advance.
$100 Zero-Coupon Bond, maturing August 1, 2016
$500 Zero-Coupon Bond, maturing August 1, 2016
$1000 Zero-Coupon Bond, maturing January 1, 2017

We need to tackle the high cost of living to support just managing families
Responding to today's figures showing employment has reached another record high of 74.6%, with unemployment still the lowest in a decade at 4.8%, head of analysis at the independent Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), Helen Barnard, said:
"Record employment in the economy is welcome and work has to be the best route out of poverty. But we know employment alone will not always help people reach a decent standard of living.
"Our analysis today shows four million more people over the last six years have fallen below a decent leaving standard, meaning they are struggling to make ends meet.
"Tackling the high cost of living is crucial to helping just managing families, particularly with a challenging outlook: inflation is likely to average 2.6% this year, in sharp contrast to the very low inflation of recent times.
"Government focus on modest incomes is welcome, but there is a fine margin between just managing today and poverty tomorrow."

Reducing mental distress in patients undergoing dental procedures including hypnosis, relaxation, and counseling
An interesting article titled "Non-pharmacological interventions for reducing mental distress in patients undergoing dental procedures: Systematic review and meta-analysis" by Sophia Burghardt et al., appears in the Journal of Dentistry in 2018 (vol. 68, pp. 22 – 31). The article seeks to determine the effects of hypnosis, enhanced information, relaxation, music, or cognitive-behavioral approaches on adults undergoing dental procedures. The researchers explored 29 randomized controlled trials and found through random effects meta-analyses significant reduction of mental distress when patients underwent a non-pharmacological intervention. In particular the largest effect was shown for hypnosis. People experience anxiety and fear of going to a dentist and some even have a diagnosable condition of dental phobia. Research shows a general dentist is capable of treating adults with mild or moderate forms of dental anxiety but those with severe dental anxiety or even dental phobia often requires … Read more

- You write the book or the software (we can help you brainstorm and organize your ideas throughout the process; if your idea is amazing, we can even provide you with ghostwriters)
- We find one or two people to edit your work, and you make revisions if needed
- We design a cover and construct a camera-ready manuscript with index

Don't miss this new documentary on the other side of Haiti.
A new documentary, "Lakay," by Chicago-based Haitian-American filmmaker Tirf Alexius, which deals with the recovery of Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake, will get a nationwide theatrical release after it screens at the 9th Annual Harlem International Film Festival this month.
Told from a personal POV, and starring Alexius, along with his brother Remoh Romeo (who also produced the project with Alexius, along with Hugh Grady and Macdanne Edmond), the documentary chronicles what happened when the two brothers returned to Haiti to locate their loved ones after the earthquake. However, what they found is a story of courage and resilience by the survivors, as well as a new hope.
The film is getting a nationwide theatrical release starting on October 17th, when it opens in 2 suburban Chicago area theaters – the AMC Woodfield 20 Lowes theaters in Schaumburg, and the AMC Loews Country Club Hills 16.
Then on October 24th, the film opens in New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles, and in more cities the week after, on Oct. 31st.

Send Your Health Ideas to Delicious Living
Think you're ahead of the curb when it comes to health issues? At Delicious Living, a print pub with a niche audience of 350,000, over a fourth of the content is freelance-written. "We do still try to develop new relationships with freelancers that we can see from their experience are a good fit for us, and I'll definitely take a chance on people," editor-in-chief Elisa Bosley said.
Previously titled Delicious!, the magazine covers all things related to natural health and eco-issues, as well as emphasizing that healthy food can taste good despite existing misconceptions. Its mission has remained the same over the years: "to be an educational tool for the natural products shopper."
Careful, though. While the natural products industry has become more mainstream, editors are still looking for unique and well-researched health revelations that are more than just trends.

If you are interested in a day trip with a pleasant hike, stunning views of Maine's rocky coast, and delicious food, look no further than Wolfe's Neck State Park in Freehold, ME. Wolfe's Neck is located an hour away from Colby's campus, but is undoubtedly worth the drive.
The park—which is open daily all year round from 9:00 a.m. to sunset—consists of more than 200 acres of protected land. Once you park your car, a short trail leads to Wolfe Neck's main beach, which offers a panoramic view of Googins Ledge, Googins Island, and Indian Island. This gorgeous beach is perfect for a picnic on the rocks while the water laps gently against the shoreline.
Once you are done exploring the main beach, consider taking a left onto the White Pines trail, which offers views and access points to a salt marsh estuary, a type of coastal wetland that is flooded and drained by salt water from the Atlantic.
Along the way, you will notice the park has installed a number of panels along the trail that detail fascinating information about the park's wildlife, geography, and history. One of these panels explains the ecological importance of Googins Island as an osprey nesting site. If you are lucky, in the summer you may even see an osprey fly onto the island to take care of its young. Other notable species found at Wolfe's Neck include wildflowers, like mayflowers and lady slippers, as well as a wide array of birds, including common terns and double-crested cormorants.
The White Pines trail will loop you back to the main beach where you can take a right to walk along the Casco Bay Trail. After 0.2 miles, you will reach a beautiful view of the Casco Bay with a view of Eagle and Cousin islands. Take the stairs down onto the beach to enjoy the view up-close and examine the diverse wildlife found in Maine's intertidal pools.
After this, you can choose to take the short 0.2-mile Ledge Trail back to the parking lot. If you are interested in a longer hike, consider taking the Harraseeket Trail, a 1.3-mile trail that takes you deep into a forest of white pines, oaks and hemlocks before reaching two elevated viewpoints of the Harraseeket River. The Harraseeket Trail conveniently ends at the parking lot.
Because Wolfe's Neck is a state park, there is an entrance fee of $4 for in-state residents and $6 for out-of-state residents. However, the park offers a variety of amenities including charcoal grills, restrooms, a drinking fountain, and picnic seating. Additionally, the park offers free nature programs each weekend at 2:00 p.m.
If you do plan on visiting Wolfe's Neck, now is the time to go- the Maine state government's foliage tracker reports that it is currently peak season to see beautiful fall foliage before most leaves fall. If you choose to visit in the winter, make sure you bring your snowshoes as the park opens many of its trails up for snowshoeing. Don't have snowshoes? Make sure to snag a rental from the Colby Outing Club office!
One of the best parts of Wolfe's Neck State Park is that it's conveniently located just ten minutes away from Freeport's bustling town center. After your visit to the park, head into the downtown area to enjoying some great shopping and food. Freeport is renowned for its outlet shopping, which includes five different L.L. Bean stores.
Freeport also has great restaurant options. Consider getting a lobster roll at Linda Bean's Perfect Maine Lobster Roll located right next to L.L. Bean's Bike, Boat, and Ski Store. Other great Freeport eateries include the Italian-style Azure Café and Morrison's Maine Chowder House which offers lobster rolls, seafood stews, and whoopie pies.
After your meal, finish off your trip with ice cream from the Ben and Jerry's store or from Classic Custard, which offers a unique selection of daily flavors like eggnog and crème brulee. Both seem to entice visitors, tempting them to come back for more time after time again.
Still looking to continue another off campus adventure? Consider heading to another nearby nature-centric destination such as Bradbury Mountain State Park, Eagle Island State Historic Site, Crescent Beach State Park, and Sebago Lake State Park. Otherwise, feel free to head back to Colby to brag to your friends all about your adventures.

This policy is intended to meet the requirements of Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and applicable regulations made thereunder. It applies to the provision of goods and services to the public or other third parties, not to the goods themselves.
All goods and services provided by Azure Medispa Ltd. (collectively referred to as the "Practice") shall follow the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity.
Assistive Device– Is a technical aid, communication device or other instrument that is used to maintain or improve the functional abilities of people with disabilities. Personal assistive devices are typically devices that guests bring with them such as a wheelchair, walker or a personal oxygen tank that might assist in hearing, seeing, communicating, moving, breathing, remembering and/or reading.
Disability – The term disability as defined by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, and the Ontario Human Rights Code, refers to:
• Any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis, amputation, lack of physical co-ordination, blindness or visual impediment, deafness or hearing impediment, muteness or speech impediment, or physical reliance on a guide dog or other animal or on a wheelchair or other remedial appliance or device;
• A condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability;
• A learning disability, or dysfunction in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language;
• A mental disorder; or
• An injury or disability for which benefits were claimed or received under the insurance plan established under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.
Guide Dog – Is a highly-trained working dog that has been trained at one of the facilities listed in Ontario Regulation 58 under the Blind Persons' Rights Act, to provide mobility, safety and increased independence for people who are blind.
Service Animal – as reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07, an animal is a service animal for a person with a disability if:
• It is readily apparent that the animal is used by the person for reasons relating to his or her disability; or
• If the person provides a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires the animal for reasons relating to the disability.
Service Dog – As reflected in Health Protection and Promotion Act, Ontario Regulation 562 a dog other than a guide dog for the blind is a service dog if:
• It is readily apparent to an average person that the dog functions as a service dog for a person with a medical disability; or
• The person who requires the dog can provide on request a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires a service dog.
Support Person – As reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07, a support person means, in relation to a person with a disability, another person who accompanies him or her in order to help with communication, mobility, personal care, medical needs or access to goods and services.
In accordance with the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07, this policy addresses the following:
A. The Provision of Goods and Services to Persons with Disabilities;
B. The Use of Assistive Devices
C. The Use of Guide Dogs, Service Animals and Service Dogs
D. The Use of Support Persons
E. Notice of Service Disruptions
F. Feedback
G. Training
H. Notice of Availability and Format of Required Documents
A. The Provision of Goods and Services to Persons with Disabilities
The Practice will make every reasonable effort to ensure that its policies, practices and procedures are consistent with the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity by:
• Ensuring that all guests receive the same value and quality;
• Allowing guests with disabilities to do things in their own ways, at their own pace when accessing goods and services as long as this does not present a safety risk;
• Using alternative methods when possible to ensure that guests with disabilities have access to the same services, in the same place and in a similar manner;
• Taking into account individual needs when providing goods and services; and
• Communicating in a manner that takes into account the guest's disability.
B. The Use of Assistive Devices
Persons with disabilities may use their own assistive devices as required when accessing goods or services provided by the Practice.
In cases where the assistive device presents a safety concern or where accessibility might be an issue, other reasonable measures will be used to ensure the access of goods and services. For example, open flames and oxygen tanks cannot be near one another. Therefore, the accommodation of a guest with an oxygen tank may involve ensuring the guest is in a location that would be considered safe for both the guest and the Practice. Or, where elevators are not present and where an individual requires assistive devices for the purposes of mobility, service will be provided in a location that meets the needs of the guest.
C. Guide Dogs, Service Animals and Service Dogs
The Practice will ensure that a guest with a disability that is accompanied by guide dog, service animal or service dog will be allowed access to those of its premises that are open to the public unless otherwise excluded by law. If such an animal is excluded by law from the premises the Practice will ensure that other measures are available to guests with disabilities to obtain, use or benefit from the Practice's goods or services (for example, securing the animal in a safe location and offering the guidance of an employee).
Recognizing a Guide Dog, Service Dog and/or Service Animal:
If it is not readily apparent that the animal is being used by the guest for reasons relating to his or her disability, the Practice may request verification from the guest.
Verification may include:
• A letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires the animal for reasons related to the disability;
• A valid identification card signed by the Attorney General of Canada; or,
• A certificate of training from a recognized guide dog or service animal training school.
Care and Control of the Animal:
The guest that is accompanied by a guide dog, service dog and/or service animal is responsible for maintaining care and control of the animal at all time.
If a health and safety concern presents itself for example in the form of a severe allergy to the animal, Practice will make all reasonable efforts to meet the needs of all individuals.
D. The Use of Support Persons
If a guest with a disability is accompanied by a support person, the Practice will ensure that both persons are allowed to enter the premises together and that the guest is not prevented from having access to the support person.
There may be times where seating and availability prevent the guest and support person from sitting beside each other. In these situations the Practice will make every reasonable attempt to resolve the issue.
In situations where confidential information might be discussed, consent will be obtained from the guest, prior to any conversation where confidential information might be discussed.
E. Notice of Disruptions in Service
Service disruptions may occur due to reasons that may or may not be within the control or knowledge of the Practice. In the event of any temporary disruptions to facilities or services that guests with disabilities rely on to access or use the Practice's goods or services, reasonable efforts will be made to provide advance notice. In some circumstances such as in the situation of unplanned temporary disruptions, advance notice may not be possible.
Notifications will include:
In the event that a notification needs to be posted the following information will be included unless it is not readily available or known:
• Goods or services that are disrupted or unavailable;
• Reason for the disruption;
• Anticipated duration; and
• A description of alternative services or options.
Notification Options
When disruptions occur the Practice will provide notice by:
• posting notices in conspicuous places including at the point of disruption, at the main entrance and the nearest accessible entrance to the service disruption and/or on the Practice website;
• contacting guests with appointments;
• verbally notifying guests when they are making an appointment; or
• by any other method that may be reasonable under the circumstances.
F. Feedback
Feedback on the way the Practice provides services to persons with disabilities in the following way(s):
• in person;
• by telephone;
• in writing;
• by email; or
• by any other communication technology as required.
Anyone providing formal feedback will receive acknowledgement of their feedback, along with any resulting actions based on concerns or complaints that were submitted.
G. Training
Training will be provided to:
• All employees and volunteers;
• All persons who participate in developing the Practice's policies;
• All other persons who provide goods, services or facilities on behalf of the Practice.
Training Provisions
As reflected in Ontario Regulation 429/07 and 191/11, regardless of the format, training will cover the following:
1. The requirements of the accessibility standards referred to in Ontario Regulation 191/11 and on the Human Rights Code as it pertains to persons with disabilities;
2. How to interact and communicate with persons with various types of disability.
3. How to interact with persons with disabilities who use an assistive device or require the assistance of a guide dog or other service animal or the assistance of a support person.
4. How to use equipment or devices available on the Practice's premises or otherwise provided by the Practice that may help with the provision of goods or services to a person with a disability.
5. What to do if a person with a particular type of disability is having difficulty accessing the Practice's goods or services.
The training on the requirements of the accessibility standards and on the Human Rights Code set out above shall be appropriate to the duties of the employees, volunteers and other persons.
Training Schedule
Training will be provided to each person as soon as practicable after they are assigned to the applicable duties. Training will be provided on an ongoing basis in connection with changes to the policies, practices and procedures governing the provision of goods or services to persons with disabilities.
H. Notice of Availability and Format of Documents
The Practice shall notify guests that the documents related to the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service are available upon request and in a format that takes into account the guest's disability. Notification will be given by posting the information in a conspicuous place owned and operated by the Practice, the Practice's website and/or any other reasonable method.
This policy and its related procedures will be reviewed as required in the event of legislative changes, or changes to company procedures.

1.5m premature cancer deaths can be prevented per year if…
Accra, Feb. 4, GNA - The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), has announced that 1.5 million lives which would be lost to cancer, could be saved per year if decisive measures were taken to achieve the World Health Organization's (WHO) '25 by 25' target.
The WHO has targeted to reduce premature deaths due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by 25% by 2025.
A release issued to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Monday, noted that currently, 7.6 million people died from cancer worldwide every year, out of which four million people die prematurely from age 30 to 69 years.
It said unless urgent action was taken to raise awareness about the disease and to develop practical strategies to address cancer, by 2025, it was projected to increase to an alarming six million premature cancer deaths per year.
'The estimate of 1.5 million lives lost per year to cancer that could be prevented must serve to galvanise our efforts in implementing the World Health Organization's (WHO) '25 by 25' target,' said Dr Christopher Wild, Director of IARC.
'There is now a need for a global commitment to help drive advancements in policy and encourage implementation of comprehensive National Cancer Control Plans. If we are to succeed in this, we have a collective responsibility to support low and middle-income countries who are tackling a cancer epidemic with insufficient resources,' it added.
The release noted that the 1.5 million lives lost per year represented 25% of the estimated six million premature cancer deaths that would occur by 2025, and the six million is itself based on population projections of current numbers and aging.
It urged the public and governments alike to speak out with one voice to dispel damaging myths and misconceptions on cancer, and encourage individuals and communities to shed light on four key cancer 'myths' and the corresponding 'truth'.
'The myth - that cancer is just a health issue; is a disease of the wealthy, elderly and developed countries; is by fate and that it is a death sentence, must be discouraged'.
It said the truth should, however, be told that cancer had wide reaching social, economic, development and human rights implications.
The disease is a global epidemic, affecting all ages and socio-economic groups, with developing countries bearing a disproportionate burden. Many cancers that were once considered a death sentence can now be cured and for many more people their cancer can now be treated effectively. At least 30% of cancer cases can be prevented based on current knowledge.

Generally you can use three different ways:
- Use WinBuilder's Tools button >> Convert tab to generate a WinBuilder script.
- Copy the plugin's folder into the WinBuilder project tree, e.g. into 'Apps'
This means the complete folder inclusive *.inf, *.xml and maybe additional files and / or a files subfolder. Do not copy *.cab files only; they are not recognized!
Winbuilder will 'translate' the plugin on the fly and process it.
- Map plugins into your project:
Inside %ProjectDir%\Apps\folder.project define the plugin(s) in the section [Link].
Possible is
- A complete Repository like:
- Some single plugins like
In all cases the project tree shows the plugins besides the scripts. You can select or deselect them in the known way, to include or exclude them in the build.
WinBuilder needs some [Variables] definitions to work with BartPE plugins.
These definitions are made by including Basic >> Build >> InfSupport.Script to the build.
This script can also be used to add a plugin collection. Attention: this removes all previous present mappings!
InfSupport.Script is for nativeEx_based projects only! Other projects must define the variables in their way.
Please always remember:
WinBuilder does not claim to be a BartPE clone which has all functionality BartPE has.
It gives you however the ability to process many BartPE plugins into your WinBuilder PE.
There are rarelly situations that WinBuilder cannot process a plugin correctly. In this case the issue is mentioned in the log. In this case you can try to convert the plugin manually into a script and to edit the script and add some other necessary information.
One situation which cannot be handled by WinBuilder is e.g. the @GetEnvironment function of Nu2Menu
Have fun with testing!
BTW: You can download a 'Tutorial' nativeEx_barebone_075 project here.

Artist Statement
"The aesthetic of my work is born of the industrial and household materials I am using, and the playful and often nonsensical manner in which I have approached them. My works are constructions of individual pieces of materials that have been attached together. This process allows me to synthesize disparate ideas to create works that are simultaneously spontaneous, yet entirely within my control.
Some of the marks made are purely non-objective: derived only from ambiguous instincts. Yet some of the marks become more illustrative: direct descriptions of things I've seen. Either way, what's most important to me is the character of the marks, not what they are depicting. Sometimes realism is a means to that end.
I know a painting is finished when it feels balanced and is not dominated by a single element. Just like the rest of my process, this is a meditative decision and is based entirely on intuition. I ask questions and present new possibilities, leaving the viewer with a trace of familiarity, but less information than is needed for a concrete conclusion.
Of course, my work does not exist within a vacuum and it is only responsible of me to think of what impact my work may have on the world. I know, at my core, that I was designed for a very specific job: making paintings, simply for the sake of making paintings. I feel an intense and spiritual excitement and curiosity while making my work. Maybe it is a glimpse of heaven. My hope is that the viewer would feel at least a fraction of that."
