It is a total rebuilding job - from top to bottom.
Ancelotti, league titles in different countries, CL wins and finals, experience of the PL, including the title in his first season (the double no less in his first season), and most importantly, experience of being at big clubs. He knows how big clubs function, how they need to be set up to help bring success. Klopp worries me. Has his bubble already burst? I know he won the Bundesliga twice, and did well in the CL, but Rodgers' 3 seasons are like a micro snap shot of Klopp's, not absolutely literally, but in building something successful and then it all going south and him not being able to arrest the slump.
I too would prefer Ancelotti over Klopp however he told FSG he would not relocate his family and would only stay until the Juve, Milan or Italy job became available. He badly wants to manage Italy and one suspects after the euros it will be available.
Looking at his CM's at Dortmund he loves pressing, high energy mids but who can create too. I feel Lucas will be the biggest casualty of Klopp coming in.Klopp like the physicality up front and for me I feel he'll play Benteke in the Lewandowski role. With Sturridge on the right hand side. I feel he will absolutely get the best from Benteke. I also think Ings will thrive under Klopp's style of play. I think in January we'll be signing a DM/CM type player.
It was a horrendous mistake not to change managers in the summer- and allow Klopp to bring in a summer's worth of his own players.
Klopp 3 year deal to be announced tomorrow.

About Godin:
Robert Godin's destiny has always been a career in the guitar business. By the age of seven he was already playing the instrument, and when he turned 15 he began offering lessons in the back of his aunt's music shop. Shortly after, he founded his own company (conveniently named Godin), and the rest, as they say, is history. Striving to deliver a constant assortment of excitingly designed instruments, Godin is a name that is love and respected in the industry.
Godin guitars have been played by an impressive assortment of performers over the years; just a look at some of their talent is enough to make your jaw drop. Artists such as Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple and Blackmore's Nights , The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, Win Butler of the Arcade Fire, Tony Fredianelli of Third Eye Blind, Roger Waters, Kirk Hammett of Metallica, Darryl Hall, Jeff Lynne, and Brian May of Queen all love their Godin guitars. And when you're done in this section, you'll love your new Godin as well.
Godin makes guitars for players who are really looking for something special. Whether you're a first time buyer, or an old pro, you'll find the Godin that is right for you in this section. For example, if you've got your heart set on an entry level guitar that still packs a great set of features, you'll want to take a look at the Redline HB Electric Guitar. This guitar features a double cut-away body with bolt-on construction and a flame maple top. Its two screaming Godin humbuckers give this guitar an incredibly diverse tone, one that will sound great in the jam space as well as up on stage with the band.
Another great option available here is the 5th Avenue CW Kingpin II Archtop Electric Guitar. This six string is inspired by the classic guitars of the 1950, but features the modern playability you've come to expect. With two Godin Kingpin P90 single-coil pickups and an adjustable Tusq bridge by Graphtech, this innovative guitar is certain to impress where ever you plug it in.
Of course, Godin isn't just guitars, they also offer plenty of accessories and gig bags. That's the beauty of Godin, they deliver everything you need, so you'll never need to look at another brand again. If you're a player who really loves their instrument, a Godin guitar is definitely right for you.

Research and Technologies
More than 160 years of experience with security technologies form the basis for addressing one of the key challenges we face now and in the future: security. In today's world with a global population of billions, the need for security is on the rise in many areas. This demands new technologies and methods.
G+D Currency Technology is working on innovations which make the whole cash cycle more efficient and secure. We mainly achieve this through software and automated solutions which make use of the innovative functions in G+D banknote processing systems. The business unit has also been looking very closely at big data solutions for the cash cycle, which are based on networking the products used – in the full interest of Industry 4.0. Global research activity at G+D Mobile Security focuses on the protection and management of digital identities in electronic payments, telecommunications, the Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0. New networked device classes and communication technologies demand innovative solutions for protection and management, as well as for analyzing the data from a growing number of end devices. Drawing on our experience in hardware and software-based security and the lifecycle management of identities, Mobile Security is conducting research and development work in these fields.
Research on High-Security Solutions and Documents
Veridos and secunet AG
secunet Security Networks AG develops high-end and advanced IT security solutions and products in close collaboration with customers. Research and development at the company is based on three strategic pillars: secunet promotes a culture of innovation in the company and collaborates with customers, universities, and associations. It also pools product managers' skills that support innovation management, right through to the development of market-ready products. Veridos' development work is aimed at making ID documents even more secure, e.g. with Fuse®ID Vision, a new personalization feature for ID card windows. With innovative laser engraving and printing which changes color according to the angle from which it is viewed, forgery becomes virtually impossible. Veridos is also working on enhancing the security, efficiency, and compatibility of its system solutions for managing and processing ID documents. The IMAGO system can now also be operated with numerous databases and third-party devices.
Research Initiatives G+D is involved in
In collaboration with five project partners, we are developing updatable security solutions for electronic control units in vehicles and other networked long-life devices.
PROTECT 's aim is to build an advanced biometric-based person identification system that works robustly across a range of border crossing types and that has strong user-centric features.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch)—Many older baby boomers have been putting off moving for years now, due to weak housing markets, price declines and losses in their retirement accounts.
But as markets are beginning to recover, some may be unearthing their buried plans to downsize, move closer to their children or relocate to a warmer climate. Whether they ultimately make a move has a lot to do with their finances and where they live.
"I think people are sick of waiting," said Jennifer Darby Metzger with ERA Justin Realty, in New Jersey. Even if conditions aren't perfect yet, there will be some boomers who don't want to wait forever and take the encouraging market signs as a cue to get moving.
"The recession is letting up and the housing inventory is going down," said Rolf Pendall, director of the Metropolitan Housing & Communities Policy Center at The Urban Institute. Boomers are "selling into a market that doesn't look so terrible compared with a year ago."
But there are at least a couple of potential roadblocks to push boomers' daydreams of moving even farther into the future.
Financial and confidence crisis
The financial crisis not only was a financial setback for some baby boomers, it also did a number on their confidence.
"Clearly, I think there are some baby boomers who are in the upper age range…who somehow have come through the financial crisis unscathed," said Kelly Sweeney, chief executive of Coldwell Banker Weir Manuel in Detroit. "People in those cases are taking advantage of the market and are right-sizing, making a move from the family home to a condo" or smaller single-family home, he said.
Fewer people in the area, however, are living the lifestyle that the affluent there have been following for decades: Selling the house in Detroit for one home in a Northern Michigan community such as Traverse City or Charlevoix and another home in Florida for the winter, he said.
"Lots of baby boomers are not in the position they thought they would be in 10 years ago," he said. For some, 401(k) savings have eroded, while others have lost jobs and have been unable to find employment to replace their incomes at the same level. They might be upside down on their mortgages, or have lost so much equity they're afraid to buy again.
"Their confidence is lost. Their accounts had been so much more robust," Metzger said. Some of those concerned their savings won't last them as long as they live are moving into larger homes with their kids, she added. "They're realizing: I don't know if I can carry a house by myself."
Future of local housing markets
Even if baby boomers do have the confidence to sell their home and buy another, the health of the market they're in will partially determine whether they can pull it off. And the share of young people in the area, as well as strength of the local economy, will set the stage both now and in the years ahead, Pendall said.
Generally, where manufacturing has traditionally been a big part of the economy, including parts of Michigan and Ohio, more young people have been leaving the areas than moving in, he said. Fewer young people forming households in those places means reduced demand for housing. And boomers need someone to buy their homes for them to move.
Elsewhere in the country, in areas where the economy is more diverse, the demographic shifts may begin to help those in the market to sell.
For example, "the California, Arizona, Nevada and Florida housing markets are coming back because they have so many young people in those states," Pendall said. "Investors are buying there because they know that [people] will need houses."
No desire to move
Of course, while some boomers have designs on downsizing or moving to a warmer climate, many stay in the homes they're in—by choice.
"Most people want to stay in their current home, and that's what they do," said Nancy Thompson, spokesperson for AARP. "That has been the pattern for decades, and it looks like for the most part, boomers will do the same thing."
Before committing to staying in any home for your golden years, it's a good idea to ask yourself a few questions first to determine whether it's the best choice, Thompson said.
"Is your house going to work for you, or is your house going to disable you if you have some kind of chronic condition, and are you going to be able to get where you need to go if you don't drive?" she said. "People outlive their driving years. We know that when you hang up your keys you are at risk of isolation."
Those thinking about downsizing may consider transit-oriented developments, where public transportation is in proximity to homes, she said. If you're staying put, know how you're going to get around to the grocery store or doctor, whether it involves public transportation or assistance from family and friends.
Take on in advance any renovations that need to be made so that the home is comfortable for you as you age, including the addition of nonslip floors, lever handles, adequate lighting and an accessible bathroom on the main floor, should you need it, she said.

A quick subway trip uptown to indulge my preoccupation with shoes and whatnot (I'm heading out for a ten-day vacation abroad, and I want my feet, the man-earth interface, properly shod) and I find myself debouching from the R-Train right on Lower Broadway, across from one of my favorite NYC buildings! It's called the Little Singer Building to distinguish it from the skyscraper, for a while, the world's highest, that is no longer with us. A blast from the past of consumer culture, right out of Paris: the curving Art Nouveau ironwork brings to mind Galeries Lafayette, the great 19th century department store. (More on the buildings here and here.)
Walking around the area puts one in the center of the tourist, chi-chi, consumer maelström, and it can be overwhelming, but I soldier on. As I put on my own consumer hat, I chuckle at the thought of my current reading, a fabulous study of the origins and nature of consumer culture. The Romantic Ethic and the Spirit of Modern Consumerism is a rich and complex analysis that takes off from Weber and ends up at the mall. The author disposes of the simplistic explanations of consumerism – instinct, manipulation by élite conspiracy, or variations on Veblenesque emulation – and locates the origins of our culture in the latter 18th century (Not much controversy there, think Josiah Wedgewood and his factory, embodying Adam Smith's dicta on the division of labor. The two were friends, and Darwin later married into the family. So many cultural cross-currents at that point in time and space!) and links the 'spirit' of our consumerist age to the mutations of protestant theology and the cult of sentimentality. His argument is brilliant – not sure if I'm convinced yet, but his approach to the questions is the best I have ever come across.
The book is not for casual reading as it is assumes a wide knowledge of 18th century European, especially British, culture, and it makes a very involved and dense argument about religion and culture. I will try to post a summary of it once I have finished it and digested it somewhat. Meanwhile, I consume, calm in the knowledge that I must be of my Age, even if I repudiate its values in many ways. "I shop, therefore I am," may not apply to me, but shop I must.

Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer.
The Chicago trio Sonoi exhibits a split personality on its self-titled debut, alternating from appealing indie rock songs to moody instrumentals laden with synthesized gimmickry. Vocalist-guitarist Adam Busch and bassist-keyboards player Ryan Hembrey are veterans of the band Manishevitz, and along with drummer Pierce Doerr, they keep things interesting through three quarters of the CD. But the last four tracks come across as self-indulgent and seem to drag on forever.
"Anchor Tattoo (Roll George)" has exotic synth beats and haunted vocals, but this 10-minute dirge wears out its welcome long before it's over. Worse yet, it's a passageway from the catchy, guitar-driven songs like "Sherry Fall" and "Eva Baton" to the prog rock noodling of "Rotativa" and "Friends In Dry Places." "Clouds," a cutting edge gem that recalls 1980s guitar bands like Wire Train and Translator, shows Sonoi at its best, and the catchy "Cat And The Barbie" serves up some offbeat fun.

Ryan Hurd welcomed his son, Hayes, with with his wife — and fellow country singer — Maren Morris on March 23, just days after the country was plunged into a shutdown due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. In this essay for "Good Morning America," the "Every Other Memory" singer reflects on the ups and downs of 2020, how he and Morris are adapting to parenthood and why he'll always appreciate this downtime with Hayes. Becoming a father in a year of so much uncertainty has certainly given me a lot to reflect on.
As the coronavirus pandemic rages on and quarantine orders are being extended, people have turned to new places to get workout inspiration at home. Fitness videos on TikTok have grown exponentially since the pandemic began, as many looked for new ways to stay in shape. Fitness challenges like #DragonFlag, #OneMinuteFitness and #PlankChallenge have gone viral in recent months, and celebrities like Carrie Underwood have even joined in.
The NFL cracked down this weekend on two teams who broke the league's coronavirus-related policies and are looking into two other teams for possible violations, according to reports. The league fined the New Orleans Saints $500,000 after the players and the team posted a video on social media showing unmasked team members celebrating their Nov. 8 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the locker room, a source told ABC News. The NFL also took away a seventh-round draft pick as punishment for the Saints' violation, the source said.
A 62-year-old Florida man, whose family reported him missing on Friday after he failed to return from a boating trip, was found alive on Sunday, clinging to the hull of his capsized vessel far off the coast of Florida, officials said. The marooned mariner, Stuart Bee, was spotted Sunday by the crew of the 225-foot-container ship Angeles, holding on the hull of his boat in the Atlantic ocean about 86 miles off the coast of Port Canaveral, according to U.S. Coast Guard officials.
Officials in New York City said they shut down an illegal club this weekend after it hosted nearly 400 people, a violation of the COVID-19 restrictions on crowd sizes. The New York City Sheriff's Office tweeted that it found at least 393 people inside a commercial property on West 36th Street in Midtown Manhattan around 2:45 a.m. Saturday. According to New York state's emergency coronavirus restrictions, all indoor and outdoor gatherings are limited to 10 people, and all "bars, restaurants, gyms and fitness centers, as well as any State Liquor Authority-licensed establishment, must close in-person service from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m."
Wearing black bands on their badges, some with tears rolling down their cheeks, hundreds of Houston police officers saluted the first member of the department to die from COVID-19 as his body was escorted from a hospital to a funeral home Sunday morning. The somber ceremony unfolded outside the HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress hospital, where Senior Police Officer Ernest Leal Jr., 60, died on Friday after a weekslong battle with coronavirus, according to Police Chief Art Acevedo. Around 10 a.m., Leal's body, draped in an American flag, was wheeled out of the hospital on a gurney between two long flanks of officers saluting as he was placed in a black hearse.
As the nation braces for what is likely to be the busiest travel day of the year amid a continued nationwide surge in coronavirus cases, Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that he does not foresee current holiday public health restrictions and recommendations being relaxed by the end of the year. "When you have the kind of inflection that we have, it doesn't all of a sudden turn around like that," said Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on ABC's "This Week." "Clearly in the next few weeks, we're gonna have the same sort of thing," he told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz, noting that the U.S. "may see a surge upon a surge" of additional new cases due to Thanksgiving gatherings and travel.
One man was out for an evening stroll when someone came up behind him and bashed him in the face with a blunt object. Another victim was taking out the trash at his apartment complex when he was ambushed, and a U.S. Postal Service carrier was badly beaten while out delivering the mail after dark. Residents of Waltham, Massachusetts, are on edge after police said at least 10 men have been targeted by a mystery assailant in a string of unprovoked assaults that have occurred since Nov. 10.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced elementary schools will be reopening in-person on Monday, Dec. 7, in a reversal from a previous decision. De Blasio said Sunday testing would be done weekly and testing consent forms will be required for students to return. Additionally, District 75 schools that cater to students with disabilities will reopen beginning Thursday, Dec. 10.
With the novel coronavirus surging in states across the country, state leaders are scrambling to develop plans to contain the outbreak as many critics say the Trump administration remains largely disengaged. Jeanette Kowalik, the director of policy development for the nonprofit health policy group Trust for America's Health and former health commissioner for Milwaukee, said state public health offices have been largely left to their own devices during the pandemic, and as a result, the country has developed a range of rules and regulations.
As a low pressure system slowly comes together across the South, it is dumping heavy rain from eastern Texas through Louisiana this morning. As the low intensifies today it will bring the risk for severe weather along with it across southern portions of the Gulf Coast states and into the eastern Carolinas where a couple of tornadoes and a few locally damaging wind gusts are the main threats. The low picked up by the jet stream Sunday night into early Monday and is expected to race to the north along the I-95 corridor where wind gusts will generally be from 30 to 40 mph.
Dave Prowse, the British actor who played Darth Vader in the original "Star Wars" trilogy has died at the age of 85, according to his agent. "It's with great regret and heart-wrenching sadness for us and [millions] of fans around the world, to announce that our client DAVE PROWSE M.B.E. has passed away at the age of 85," Bowington Management said in a tweet early Sunday morning. It's with great regret and heart-wrenching sadness for us and million of fans around the world, to announce that our client DAVE PROWSE M.B.E. has passed away at the age of 85.
In what could be one of his most politically significant final acts as president, Donald Trump plans to exclude millions of undocumented immigrants from the official 2020 Census figures used to allocate political power and billions of dollars in federal funds. The justices on Monday will hear oral arguments over Trump's effort -- already twice rejected by lower federal courts -- that would break from more than a century of precedent in determining apportionment of the 435 congressional districts across all 50 states. If successful, it would boost the influence of predominantly conservative, Republican states and rural communities while drawing resources away from more liberal, Democratic states and urban areas.
Edith Bartley had just arrived in Tennessee to visit family members in August 1998 when she got the call from her grandmother: Had she seen the news? The 25-year-old law student was on break between her summer internship at the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office and returning to University of Missouri Law School for the fall. "It probably saved my life," Bartley told ABC News this week.
Another court ruling has gone against allies of the Trump campaign in their bid to halt certification of the 2020 presidential election in Pennsylvania, as the state's Supreme Court issued an order Saturday dismissing a recent court challenge focused on mail-in voting. This election challenge was brought by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, a Republican, along with another GOP candidate for Congress, alleging that the state legislature had not legally passed the measure allowing for universal mail-in voting. The plaintiffs called on the court to have Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar cancel all mail-in ballots or, if not, to empower the state legislature to appoint new electors.
American Airlines announced this week that its cargo operation has started conducting trial flights from Miami to South America to test its process of shipping vaccines. The flight did not involve any vaccine doses, a spokesperson confirmed to ABC News. Pfizer and BioNTech were the first to submit a request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for emergency use authorization of their COVID-19 vaccine candidate.
The San Francisco 49ers will not be allowed to practice or play in their stadium for three weeks under new county health restrictions that prohibit contact sports. Stanford University's athletics, including its football program, will also be affected. Santa Clara County health officials announced the new restrictions on Saturday, as the county reported a record 760 COVID-19 cases.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced the end of military operations in the northern Tigray region after saying it was in "full control" of the regional capital, Mekelle, on Saturday. The move spares urban combat that would be devastating to civilians, thousands of which have already fled to neighboring countries, but also possibly sets up protracted guerrilla warfare in the region.
Fuller kicked off for Vanderbilt to start the second half of the game, in Missouri. The history-making move came on the heels of a Southeastern Conference championship-winning soccer season for the Vanderbilt senior, who sported her soccer jersey number -- 32 -- for Saturday's game. Vandy beat Arkansas, 3-1, in the SEC title game on Nov. 22.
The British government said Friday it has formally requested its medicines regulatory agency to consider the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine for regulatory approval. "We are working tirelessly to be in the best possible position to deploy a vaccine as soon as one is approved by the independent regulator the MHRA," U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said in a statement, referring to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Oxford University and AstraZeneca announced its trial results on Monday but has since suffered a barrage of criticism over how they had collated and presented the interim results for the third and final phase of their AZD1222 vaccine trials.

Literature is an important source for children to learn about many aspects of life, including music, and, more specifically, the trombone as a special type of musical instrument. The project at hand seeks to encourage the introduction of the trombone to young children through books and stories in which the instrument is featured prominently. Seven such books by various authors are identified and analyzed, and a study guide for each is presented. In addition, a brief history of children's literature and a discussion of its use in the music classroom provide context for these seven books as well as any …

Ultrasound scans use sound waves to build a picture of the baby in the womb. The scans are painless, have no known side effects on mothers or babies, and can be carried out at any stage of pregnancy. Talk to your midwife, GP or obstetrician about any concerns you have.
For many women, ultrasound scans are the highlight of pregnancy. It's very exciting to "see" your baby in the womb, often moving their hands and legs.
Having a scan in pregnancy is usually a happy event, but be aware that ultrasound scans may detect some serious health conditions, so try to be prepared for that information.
See What if a screening test finds something for more information on what may happen if a scan or other screening test suggests your baby may be more likely to have a condition.
What will happen at the scan?
Most scans are carried out by specially trained staff called sonographers. The scan is carried out in a dimly lit room so the sonographer is able to get good images of your baby.
First you'll be asked to lie on a couch. You'll then be asked to lower your skirt or trousers to your hips and raise your top to your chest.
The sonographer will put ultrasound gel on your tummy and tuck tissue paper around your clothing to protect it from the gel. The gel makes sure there is good contact between the machine and your skin.
The sonographer passes a probe over your skin. It is this probe that sends out ultrasound waves and picks them up when they bounce back.
A black and white picture of the baby will appear on the ultrasound screen. During the examination, sonographers need to keep the screen in a position that gives them a good view of the baby.
The sonographer will carefully examine your baby's body. Having the scan does not hurt, but the sonographer may need to apply slight pressure on your tummy to get the best views of the baby.
How long will a scan take?
A scan usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes. However, the sonographer may not be able to get good views if your baby is lying in an awkward position or moving around a lot.
If you are overweight or your body tissue is dense, sometimes this can reduce the quality of the image because there is more tissue for the ultrasound waves to get through before they reach the baby.
If it's difficult to get a good image, the scan may take longer or have to be repeated at another time.
Can an ultrasound scan harm me or my baby?
There are no known risks to the baby or the mother from having an ultrasound scan, but it is important that you consider carefully whether to have the scan or not.
This is because the scan can provide information that may mean you have to make further important decisions. For example, you may be offered further tests, such as amniocentesis, that have a risk of miscarriage.
When are scans offered?
Hospitals in England offer all pregnant women at least 2 ultrasound scans during their pregnancy:
- at 8 to 14 weeks
- and between 18 and 21 weeks
The first scan is sometimes called the dating scan. The sonographer estimates when your baby is due (the estimated date of delivery, or EDD) based on the baby's measurements.
The dating scan can include a nuchal translucency (NT) scan, which is part of the combined screening test for Down's syndrome, if you choose to have this screening.
The second scan offered to all pregnant women usually takes place between 18 and 21 weeks of pregnancy. It is sometimes called the mid-pregnancy scan. This scan checks for 11 physical conditions in your baby.
Some women may be offered more than 2 scans, depending on their health and their pregnancy. You can find out more about the 12-week dating scan and the 20-week or mid-pregnancy scan.
When will I get the results?
The sonographer will be able to tell you the results of the scan at the time.
Do I have to have ultrasound scans?
No, not if you do not want to. Some people want to find out if their baby is more likely to have a condition, while others do not. The 12-week dating scan and 20-week scan are offered to all women, but you do not have to have them.
Your choice will be respected if you decide not to have the scans, and your antenatal care will continue as normal. You'll be given the chance to discuss it with your maternity team before making your decision.
What can an ultrasound scan be used for?
An ultrasound scan can be used to:
- check your baby's size – at the 12-week dating scan, this gives a better idea of how many weeks pregnant you are; your due date, which is originally calculated from the first day of your last period, will be adjusted according to the ultrasound measurements
- check whether you're having more than 1 baby
- detect some physical conditions
- show the position of your baby and the placenta – for example, when the placenta is low down in late pregnancy, a caesarean section may be advised
- check that the baby is growing normally – this is particularly important if you're carrying twins, or you've had problems in this pregnancy or a previous pregnancy
Can I bring family or friends with me when I have the scan?
Yes. You may like someone to come with you to the scan appointment.
Most hospitals do not allow children to attend scans as childcare is not usually available. Please ask your hospital about this before your appointment.
Remember, an ultrasound scan is an important medical examination and it is treated in the same way as any other hospital investigation. Ultrasound scans can sometimes find problems with the baby.
If everything appears normal, what happens next?
Most scans show that the baby is developing normally and no problems are found. This is because most babies are healthy. You can continue with your routine antenatal care.
If the scan shows your baby is more likely to have a condition, what happens next?
If the scan shows your baby is more likely to have a condition, the sonographer may ask for a second opinion from another member of staff. You might be offered another test to find out for certain if your baby has the condition.
If you're offered further tests, you will be given more information about them so you can decide whether or not you want to have them. You'll be able to discuss this with your midwife or consultant.
If necessary, you will be referred to a specialist, possibly in another hospital.
Is it a girl or a boy?
Finding out the sex of your baby is not offered as part of the national screening programme.
If you want to find out the sex of your baby, you can usually do so during the 20-week mid-pregnancy scan but this depends on the policy of your hospital. Tell the sonographer at the start of the scan that you'd like to know your baby's sex.
Be aware, though, that it's not possible for the sonographer to be 100% certain about your baby's sex. For example, if your baby is lying in an awkward position, it may be difficult or impossible to tell.
Some hospitals have a policy of not telling patients the sex of their baby. Speak to your sonographer or midwife to find out more.
Can I have a picture of my baby?
You will need to check if your hospital provides this service. If they do, there may be a charge.

The new Blackberry?
If you've never quite got over having to give up your BlackBerry and its keyboard, then never fear - Ryan Seacrest is here to help.
In a somewhat unlikely partnership, he's invested in Typo, which is launching its keyboard case in a few weeks at the giant Vegas techfest that is CES.
The $99 keyboard clips onto your iPhone like a case, and also has a battery indicator built in.

KitKat's camera boost
Google has taken the wraps off the latest version of Android KitKat, 4.4.1, which is aimed at gving the camera system a much-needed boost, particularly in the Nexus 5.
While the hardware in the flagship was impressive, its camera capabilities were lacking - but first impressions suggest this update addresses the problems we have had until now.
There's a massively improved HDR+ mode, better autofocus, and a fix for the shutter lag the handset suffered.

iOS 7 hits the bigtime
Apple has revealed that 74% of iOS users have now upgraded to version 7 - with a 10% increase since October.
The huge figure comes as great news for Apple, which has long made jibes about Android's fragmentation problem.
It also eases fears over consumer adoption - it seems all those complaints were quickly forgotten as user actually began spending time with Sir Jony Ive's software.

The best selfie you'll see all day
Rangers in Western Australia thought they had lost a piece of hi-tech camera kit when it went missing.
However, weeks later, it was spotted - with some amazing footage that revealed the thief.
Rather than a local looking for a new snapper, the tiny camera was nicked by a young seaeagle - who captured these amazing selfie images as he flew away with it.

We gave our children (and ourselves!) gratitude journals this year. For reference, read President Eyring's awesome talk.
I thought our kids would be very disappointed in this gift--it's not traditional candy fare for Valentine's Day. After we opened little valentines from one another, everyone opened and read the talk first. And then they opened their journal gifts, which we had embossed with "_________ is Thankful." And they all gasped and acted like this was the coolest thing ever.
Which is one of the many reasons why I love our family.

Graduate Credit for Undergraduates
5330.1 Combined Degree Program
A combined-degree program provides an opportunity for an undergraduate student to begin working toward a master's degree in his/her senior year, and to complete the bachelor's and master's degrees in less combined time than it would take to complete them sequentially. The program is designed for the most talented students and a student must meet the academic standards defined below and apply to participate in the combined-degree program.
Students pursuing both the bachelor's and master's degrees in the same discipline at Wright State, or students, under partnership agreements, pursuing bachelor's degrees at other institutions and master's degrees at Wright State, can participate in approved combined-degree programs. Departments, colleges, and other units wishing to create combined-degree programs must have proposals for those programs approved by the Faculty Senate and other appropriate academic authorities. When submitted, proposals must include sample curricula explaining how the program covers the requirements of both the bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as a list of graduate courses that will be allowed to count towards both. They should also include any additional eligibility requirements beyond the minimums described herein.
For a student enrolled in a combined-degree program, a maximum of 12 semester credit hours graduate level courses can be used to satisfy both the bachelor's and the master's degree requirements. Units proposing combined programs with a higher number of common credit hours will need to secure approval from the Faculty Senate and the Dean of the Graduate School.
- To participate in a combined-degree program, students must meet all of the following qualifications:
- 3.2 cumulative grade point average on all undergraduate work, including undergraduate credits earned at other institutions and transferred to Wright State.
- Undergraduate advisor's approval.
- Permission of the chair of each department in which graduate credit is desired.
* The above qualifications do not apply to students admitted into an approved graduate transition program. See "B" below.
- Students admitted into an approved combined degree program do not have to formally apply to take graduate courses. The Program Director of the combined degree program will forward to the Graduate School Admissions Office the names of the students that desire to take graduate courses for graduate credit. The Graduate School will make the appropriate arrangements with the Registrar's Office to allow these students to register for graduate credit. Students admitted to a combined degree program will be admitted as provisional graduate students to the Graduate School, pending completion of the requirements for their bachelor's degree.
- If students have studies in progress at the time permission to take dual-listed courses is requested for the next term, any approval of the application is provisional and based upon the meeting of all required standards at the end of the current term. Permission will be revoked upon failure to meet these standards.
5330.2 Non-Combined Degree Program
Students who are pursuing an undergraduate degree at Wright State University or another accredited university may, under certain circumstances, take graduate courses for graduate or undergraduate credit outside of the combined-degree program. Students must complete the Graduate Course Permission Form and obtain all required signatures. Reapplication is required for any subsequent period. In addition, students must indicate their desire for undergraduate or graduate credit. No changes will be granted to the type of credit selected after the course(s) have been completed. Courses taken for undergraduate credit may be applied, with the academic unit's approval, toward undergraduate degree requirements. Courses taken for graduate credit may be applied towards an appropriate graduate degree at Wright State with the permission of the relevant department or program.
When taking graduate courses under this status, students are not limited in the number of graduate credit hours they may take that will apply towards their undergraduate degree (provided they have permission of the relevant department). However, students are limited by this policy to a total of 12 credit hours of graduate coursework that can be applied as graduate credit. This total is cumulative over the student's undergraduate career.
- To be eligible for graduate course permission, students must meet all of the following qualifications:
- Senior status.
- 3.0 cumulative grade point average on all undergraduate work completed at Wright State University.
- Undergraduate advisor's approval.
- Permission of the chair of each department in which graduate credit is desired.
5330.3 Non-Degree Undergraduate
Non-degree undergraduate students are not permitted to register for graduate courses. Undergraduate students already possessing a bachelor's degree are eligible to apply as non-degree graduate students and are not permitted to register under the Graduate Course Permission policy, unless they are enrolled as part of a program that has received waiver permission to this rule from the Graduate School and the credits being taken are being applied towards a second undergraduate degree. Students participating in combined-degree programs may also take graduate hours for graduate credit using the Graduate Course Permission Form, but only up to a total of 15 graduate credit hours, taken as an undergraduate, may be applied to the graduate degree. Except as arranged within specific approved combined-degree programs, no undergraduate student will be allowed to double-count more than 12 semester credit hours towards both degrees, and the total of double-counted hours and Graduate Course Permission hours applied to the graduate degree should not exceed 15.

TreeBASE Submission Integration
Authors who submit content to Dryad have the option to forward their Dryad submission to TreeBASE. This saves the author time by automating the submission of data to multiple repositories, and creates an explicit link between the entries in the two repositories for easier data reuse.
Alternately, authors who initially submit content to TreeBASE may create a link from a Dryad data package to the relevant item in TreeBASE.
Initial submission to TreeBASE
Authors may choose to deposit their data with TreeBASE first, and link the submission to a Dryad deposit.
After the TreeBASE submission has been completed, the author will login to Dryad and begin a Dryad submission. At the second stage of the Dryad submission process, the author will be asked to provide the appropriate data file(s). At this point, rather than uploading a new copy of the file(s), the author may enter an identification number for the data and the name of the repository in which the data has been submitted.
So, if the data has already been uploaded to TreeBASE, instead of uploading the data again, a submitter may just enter the TreeBASE identifier and select TreeBASE as the remote repository from the dropdown menu in the submission form. This will create a link between the Dryad data record and the data stored in the remote repository.
(Disabled) Initial submission to Dryad
The submission is initially deposited with Dryad. Data files are then forwarded from Dryad to TreeBASE.
At the second stage of the Dryad submission process, a submitter will see the option to "choose file" from their local machine. This will upload the data into Dryad. When this has happened, the submission form's page will change to indicate the file size of the uploaded data file.
If a file has been uploaded through the "choose file" interface, at the last stage in the submission process, the author will be given the option to upload the file that has been uploaded to Dryad to TreeBASE as well. Checking the checkbox and selecting TreeBASE from the repository dropdown will initiate the file's upload to TreeBASE.
The author will receive two email messages:
- A confirmation of the Dryad submission, including the DOI that Dryad has assigned to the submission.
- A notification that TreeBASE has received the forwarded data files. In this message, there will be a URL for accessing the submission within the TreeBASE system.
The author will need to follow the URL from the second message. After logging in to TreeBASE, the author will be able to complete the TreeBASE description of the data files, entering information that was not already part of the Dryad submission.
NOTE: If files are embargoed when they are deposited at Dryad, these embargo settings will not carry over to TreeBASE by default. The author must select appropriate embargo settings in each system.
Technical Documentation
More detail on the TreeBASE/BagIt handshaking can be found on the Dryad BagIt Handshaking page.
This integration is based on the following technologies:
- BagIt -- A lightweight format for packaging digital content and ensuring that it is transferred intact.
- OAI-PMH -- A protocol developed by the digital library community to allow harvesting of metadata from remote repositories.
We are evaluating the SWORD protocol to manage the transfer of BagIt packages, but we have not yet determined whether SWORD will be lightweight enough to justify its use.
Design History
For information on design decisions, look at the BagIt and OAI-PMH pages listed in the Technical documentation and at the TreeBASE OAI Provider page on this wiki. We also looked at ADMIRAL: A data management infrastructure for research across the life sciences

Hi All I am looking for some good ideas of movies to show ESL students in China. I am always telling them to watch English language films so they can practice their listening skills but when they ask which ones my mind goes a bit blank! Basically looking for some movies that fulfill the following criteria: - No sex scenes, nudity, gore or excessive swearing. - Clear narrative - Good, clear English. No heavy regional accents or slang. - Culturely appropriate (this is China, read between the lines). - Something that will be of interest to both boys and girls. They are all university students, so age restrictions are not an issue. I would be interested to hear from any ESL teachers or ESL students who have movies they found to be particularly effective / enjoyable. Many thanks Back to top Bob S.Joined: 29 Apr 2004Posts: 1767Location: So. Cal Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2009 8:25 am Post subject: For family friendly fare, you can't go wrong with most anything by Pixar. I'd say there's just a few things to watch for: In The Incredibles, Mrs. Incredible, a.k.a. Elastigirl, is voiced by Holly Hunter who is from Georgia (or Jaw-juh) so has a southern accent. In Cars, the character Mater is voiced by Larry the Cable Guy (Daniel Whitney) whose stage persona has (fakes?) a very thick regional accent and some corny catch phrases._________________"It is impossible to speak in such a way that you cannot be misunderstood." -- Karl Popper Back to top m_primeJoined: 28 Dec 2008Posts: 52Location: Taiyuan, Shanxi, China Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 4:11 am Post subject: Thanks Bob - you're probably right, animation is a pretty safe bet.

We just used this recently and it was really effective. The English is not too complicated and the idea of the film itself can lead to great discussions on what kind of life we'll be living in the future. I guess the only down point is it takes a fair while before you meet the first human so there isn't a lot of talking in the beginning. What we did was pause the film at several locations and asked the students questions from a prepared list of questions. Worked really well._________________Simon English Teacher and Avid Fan of Chinese Cooking http://www.damn-english.com Back to top peterteacherJoined: 13 Apr 2009Posts: 86Location: Australia Posted: Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:34 am Post subject: What level are the students? Do you use the English subtitles when you show them? I used to teach an English-with-movies class and it was interesting what movies worked well with the students and what didn't. The other posters are correct about the animation and computer graphics movies. They are always safe and easy to understand. Shrek was always popular at my school. There are also lots of cultural references to Western fairy tales that might be interesting to study in class. For live action movies, I've found A Knight's Tale (starring Heath Ledger) works well. Adults will enjoy it even though there is no (graphic) sex, violence or swearing I DON'T recommend this one because it has lots of violence but Conan the Barbarian (one of Arnold Schwareznegger's early movies) is interesting from an English teaching point of view. It is quite easy to understand because there is very little dialogue. This was intentional because at the time, the main actor (Arnold) didn't speak much English either!_________________Try some mini, on-line adventure games to help your English at: www.gameenglish.com Back to top StigandrJoined: 27 Apr 2009Posts: 2Location: Antalya, Turkey Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 9:30 am Post subject: I think best movie is Kungfu Panda for you, it probably related Chinese culture and when I watched it, I could easily understand most of the sentences, although I'm intermediate.

Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs, Robin Hood But I generally found anything containing songs were great for holding the attention of the girls, and boys liked a little slap stick comedy. With older children and adults I showed: Liar Liar (starring Jim Carey, his facial features & body language are great), The man with the Golden Gun (one of my favourite James Bond movies which has wonderful scenery and drama) It always helped to introduce the story a few weeks before by getting the book for them to read, or to use the storyline within your lesson plans to give the students a chance to learn a little more about the vocabulary, characters and plots (or learn the songs so they can sing along). The problem you may have, which I came across in Korea, was trying to find movies that do not have subtitles - as this means that the students are reading the text rather than listening to the English. I agree with other suggestions, and hope that we have been able to help with your quest to find movies suitable to show students in China.

Good morning Friends!
Today I wanted to pass along something that has been helpful to our family. The other morning I was fixing Leanne's hair. She didn't like it and combed the braid out. It upset me because I had worked hard on it and we were running out of time before the bus came. I told her she would have to figure out how to fix her hair on her own and walked into the other room, upset (probably not the best of parenting!). To my surprise she walked after me and asked,
"Mom, can we start over?"
I replied, "Sure!" She stuck out her hand and we shook on it.
She smiled.
In a cheery voice I asked her how I could help her get ready for school, and off we went. It was as if the short moment of frustration never happened.
Don't get me wrong, when my kids or husband ask me to "start over" it takes a big swallow of pride to put my anger aside and agree to start fresh. The human side of us just wants to stew over the problem, which only makes things worse and wastes a lot of time.
But just like ripping it like a band-aid, it only stings for a second! Do yourself (and your loved ones) a favor by asking if you can START OVER the next time things head in the wrong direction.
Now that nicer weather is around the corner, do you need help getting motivated to do some spring cleaning? If so, read my "Rip It Like A Band-Aid" post!

Lonmin seeks new CEO to revive fortunes
Lonmin CFO Simon Scott has ruled himself out of the top job on a permanent basis.
LONDON - South African miner Lonmin opened the search for a new chief executive to revive its fortunes after a torrid 2012 as Ian Farmer, who is being treated for a serious illness, officially stepped aside on Friday.
The absence of a permanent CEO has been a major concern cited by investors seeking a clear strategy from the company after months of financial pressure, weak platinum prices and a wave of deadly strikes at South African mines.
Chief Financial Officer Simon Scott had ruled himself out of the job on a permanent basis, Lonmin said, but he would continue to fill the role until a replacement was found.
Farmer was admitted to hospital in August, coinciding with a wave of unrest at the group's Marikana mine that left 46 people dead and paralysed operations.
The strikes increased pressure on a company that was already being squeezed by high costs and weak platinum prices.
It was forced to turn to investors last month to raise $817 million to avoid breaching lending terms.
Its biggest shareholder, miner Xstrata, which holds a 25 percent stake, supported the rights issue but it said it wanted management changes.
Lonmin chairman Roger Phillimore said the group would miss Farmer's ability, commitment and drive at the company, where he worked for more than 26 years, including four as chief executive.
Shares in Lonmin were trading down 1.79 percent at 280.4 pence by 5.44 a.m. ET, underperforming a flat mid cap index .FTMC in London.
The stock has gained some ground since November 9, when it touched a 13-year low of 227 pence, but it remains 45 percent down on its level 12 months ago.

What I meant by errant ideas are these things that are often repeated that simply aren't true. In another thread, Ouisch mentioned that American school systems have used of Warriner's. [sp??] I believe that this particular grammar saw widespread use though I may well be mistaken.
Anywoo, in another discussion, on another site, some years ago, someone posted from this grammar, the notion that the present perfect was used for actions that continued into the future.
We know that this is not the case. Perhaps, if Ouisch still has her old school books, she could look this up and post what was stated there.

Colorado announces post-break rotation
Thomas Harding is a reporter for MLB.com. Read his blog, Hardball in the Rockies, and follow him on Twitter @harding_at_mlb. Ian McCue is an associate reporter for MLB.com.
DENVER -- The Rockies made official their rotation coming out of the All-Star break.
Colorado announced before the break that left-hander Jorge De La Rosa (9-5, 3.21 ERA) would start Friday night against the Cubs, but held off on the rest. Right-hander Juan Nicasio (5-4, 4.89) will start Saturday night and righty Tyler Chatwood (5-3, 2.56) will open Sunday afternoon.
The club did not announce a starter for Monday, but the plan is to recall lefty Drew Pomeranz (0-3, 8.76) from Double-A Tulsa for Monday in the opener of a four-game series against the Marlins. Righty Jhoulys Chacin (9-4, 3.50) will start Tuesday and De La Rosa again Wednesday.

A Bill of Sale is also known as a/an:
A Bill of Sale is a form that a seller uses to document the sale of an item to a buyer. It serves as a receipt for personal sales and purchases and includes buyer and seller information and details about the goods, their location, and the price. If you are looking for a contract that includes warranties or more specific terms for the buyer, LawDepot also offers a Sales Agreement form.
Both parties should fill out and retain a copy of the signed Bill of Sale as a proof of purchase or as a proof of payment. A Bill of Sale should only be used for purchases where payment is made in full at the time of purchase, and both parties accept to buy and sell the item in its current condition ("as-is").
"As is" is an important term in a Bill of Sale form. It means that the item was bought and sold in its current condition and that the buyer is accepting the item with all of its faults, whether they are apparent or not.
"As is" protects the seller from having to refund the buyer for any item-related issues after the item has been received and paid for.
A Bill of Sale is used to protect both the seller and the purchaser in the case of any future issues. Since many purchases and sales between individuals are transacted using cash, it can be hard to prove that an item was received or paid for without proper documentation. For instance, in some states, such as California, a written Bill of Sale is recommended if you are buying or selling an item worth $500 or more. Without a written Bill of Sale, there might be no recourse for the buyer or seller in the event of a legal dispute.
A Bill of Sale also acts as a receipt for both parties. The seller can use it to prove that an item was sold to the purchaser "as is", and the buyer can use it to prove that the agreed upon payment (including any trades) was made in full to the seller. It also provides a sale date to both parties, which can show when the responsibility of the item was transferred. Both the purchaser and the seller can use a Bill of Sale as evidence of the price paid for tax purposes.
If the item happens to be insurable, you may need to provide documentation to prove that you are the legal owner, or that you are no longer in possession of the item. In other words, if completed correctly, a Bill of Sale can be used as proof of ownership.
You can use a Bill of Sale form for a variety of items, such as:
It is important to note that if you are buying or selling a vehicle for $500 or more, depending on your state, a Bill of Sale might be required to register the vehicle. It's recommended that you check the laws in your local jurisdiction to determine what you might need to properly buy or sell a vehicle in your area.
When you're selling or buying an item, the Bill of Sale should list the payment method that the buyer used to obtain the item. Common payment methods that you can include in a Bill of Sale are cash, email transfer, mobile or internet banking (Venmo, PayPal, etc.) and trade (list the item that is being traded for another item).
It is not recommended that you use a Bill of Sale in instances where there isn't a transfer of ownership since a Bill of Sale is best used for the sale and purchase of physical goods. When providing or hiring services, it's more appropriate to use a document like a Service Agreement or an Independent Contractor Agreement.
It should also be noted that you can't use a Bill of Sale to transfer the ownership of or the title to a piece of real estate. In such instances, you'll likely need a Warranty Deed or a similar document.
A Bill of Sale should be used by anyone who is looking to sell or purchase an item. This includes:
Using a Bill of Sale is recommended even when selling or trading items with friends or family members because of the document's power to show proof of ownership.
For example, if a parent gifts or sells their vehicle to their child, the child will need a Bill of Sale to prove their ownership of the car so they can get it registered and insured.

My sweet hubby and I spent Friday in Denver and had a fabulous day!
We took the light rail and got off at the Theatre, ready to walk. It was a really warm day, I think the high was 85F!!! In OCTOBER!!!
We wandered around the 16th Street Mall and the surrounding streets, before caving and ducking into Taki's for an early lunch. BEST Japanese food I have ever had. MMMmmmm. I will have to take the kids there when they are here over the holidays.
We had purchased tickets to see the King Tut exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, but we were plenty early and thoroughly enjoyed walking around, soaking in the lovely sunshine.
We ended up at the Capitol Building. I have only ever seen it while driving/riding in a car, and really had no idea how big or grand it was. One one set of steps is a brass marker that shows were 5,280 feet is- one mile- for the Mile High City.
We went in- and wow- what a place!Our intent was to go up to the cuppola and walk around to see Denver from up high, but alas, the balcony was closed. They did have some doors open to allow photos, and here is what we saw:

2 judges sworn into office in Maine
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � A lawyer who served as tribal prosecutor for the Passamaquoddy Tribal Court in Pleasant Point and Indian Township has been sworn in as a Maine judge.
Gov. Paul LePage presided over the ceremony for Calais resident David J. Mitchell, who'll serve as District Court judge. Judge John V. Romei also was sworn in to service as an active retired District Court judge.
LePage said his focus in choosing judges is on "qualifications, demeanor, and integrity of the candidates, not politics."
He said both Mitchell and Romei reflect those priorities. Both judges were reviewed by the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary and confirmed by the full Senate.

Somebody Actually Named Their Child 'Hashtag'
It used to be that we only heard about the interesting names that celebrities bestowed upon their children. (Hello, Apple!) However, thanks to the vastness of the internet, now when normal folks give their kids questionable names we can catch wind of that too.
And, actually, the internet has a lot to do with today's naming debacle. Apparently someone has christened their child "Hashtag Jameson." Not much is known about little Hashtag's folks, like whether or not they have the Gwyneth Paltrow-like resources to pay for her eventual therapy. (Yes, Hashtag is a girl's name.)
Given the speed in which internet fads come and go, it's entirely possible by the time Hashtag makes it to elementary school none of her classmates will have heard about Twitter, possibly mitigating some of her moniker's ridiculousness.
It's also possible, given the other misspellings in mom's message above, that this is simply a case of an unfortunate auto-correct. Which, by the way, is also no name for a baby.
