Kukla's Korner Hockey
Measuring The Fitness Level Of The Flyers

from Frank Seravalli of the Philadelphia Daily News,
A decade ago, the Flyers' least conditioned player would likely have been chosen subjectively - by a kangaroo court of vets judging simply with their eyes.
Last month, the Flyers - and team management - were able to tell which players maintained their fitness by huddling around a computer screen. The numbers spoke for themselves.
That's because the Flyers are the only NHL team to train with data-collecting technology by Catapult Sports. During nearly every practice, Flyers players skate with a durable GPS tracking device that is roughly half the size of an iPhone sewn into a pocket on the back of their shoulder pads that remotely monitors distance, velocity, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, heart rate and recovery time, among many other things.
The heart-rate monitor, a strap that wraps around their chest, is the only piece of equipment players notice.
"I don't think anyone in here had any issue with wearing it," Flyers forward Jay Rosehill said. "In fact, I think everyone was pretty curious when we first started to wear it. It's funny how the game has evolved and they're using technology like that to track us."

It was also revealed that Wong Cho Lam's character will have a new romance, while Hins Cheung will be playing a romantic rival to Louis Cheung character.
"Inbound Troubles" was a great hit when it ran from 14 January to 8 February, attracting over 2.12 million viewers and largely commended for its realistic portrayal of Hong Kong's current social issues.

WASHINGTON (RNS)—Could a series of "blood moon" events be connected to Jesus' return? Some Christians think so, but others dismiss the speculation.
In the wee hours of the morning April 15, the moon slid into Earth's shadow, casting a reddish hue on the moon. About two lunar eclipses occur per year, according to NASA. But what's unusual this time around is four blood moons will take place within 18 months—astronomers call that a tetrad—all of them during Jewish holidays.
A string of books have been published surrounding the event, with authors referring to an Old Testament passage that refers to the moon turning into blood. "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord," Joel 2:31 says. In the New Testament, Acts 2:20 echoes the same doom.
Recent books capitalizing on the event include Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs by Washington state author Mark Biltz; Blood Moons Rising: Bible Prophecy, Israel, and the Four Blood Moons by Oklahoma pastor Mark Hitchcock; and Four Blood Moons: Something Is About to Change by San Antonio megachurch pastor John Hagee.
Topping best-seller lists
Hagee's book is drawing the most attention, charting at No. 4 on The New York Times best-seller list in the advice/how to section, and No. 80 on USA Today's best-seller list. The book by the controversial 74-year-old founder of Cornerstone Church also spent more than 150 days in Amazon's top 100 books.
In his book, Hagee says something will happen to the nation of Israel due to the tetrad. The four eclipses occur April 15 and Oct. 8 this year, and April 4 and Sept. 28 next year. The ones in April occur during Passover, and the ones in October occur during the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles.
Jewish holy days revolve around a lunar calendar, with Passover beginning on the first full moon after the beginning of spring, and the Feast of Tabernacles occurring on the first full moon after the beginning of fall. Hagee insists every time a tetrad occurs on Jewish feast days, something traumatic and "world-changing" happens to Israel.
In 1492, the Jews were expelled from Spain and Christopher Columbus discovered America, giving the Jews a place to go. In 1948, the modern state of Israel was born, and in 1967, Israel won the Six-Day War and recaptured Jerusalem.
A 300-year gap
During the 300-year interval from 1600 to 1900, there were no tetrads at all, according to NASA eclipse expert Fred Espenak.
This time, Hagee suggests the Rapture will occur. Christians will be taken to heaven, Israel will go to war in a great battle called Armageddon, and Jesus will return to earth, he claims.
But NASA does not consider tetrads as especially rare, saying eight sets of tetrads will occur before the year 2100. The most unique thing about the upcoming tetrad is they are visible from all or parts of the United States, NASA stated.
A publicist for Hagee said the pastor was not available for an interview.
"When you see these signs, the Bible says, lift up your head and rejoice, your redemption draweth nigh," Hagee said in a sermon, according to the San Antonio Express-News. "I believe that the heavens are God's billboard, that he has been sending signals to Planet Earth, but we just have not been picking them up."
Bordering on astrology?
Greg Boyd, evangelical pastor of Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minn., called the predictions a waste of time, maybe even bordering on astrology.
"You have an entire population buying into this stuff, so no congregation is immune to this," Boyd said. "It can strike fear into people, which is so unnecessary and wrong."
The Jewish holy days carry less theological significance than Jesus' resurrection for many Christians, said Sam Storms, a pastor of Bridgeway Church in Oklahoma City. Any connection between the two events should carry less weight, he said.
"We need to stop giving in to some of these sensationalist speculations," he said. "Maybe Christians are more gullible. One has to twist the data to make it appear as if these are the fulfillment of some biblical prophecy."

It takes courage to go after a 14-year-old, doesn't it?
On Friday night, Bill Maher displayed that courage by going on an angry and hateful tirade against Ahmed Mohamed, the 14-year-old Sudanese Muslim-American who was recently arrested after a teacher thought his homemade clock was a bomb. Since Maher didn't think his bullying of the teenager was sufficient alone, he made sure he brought company in the form of Mark Cuban, Chris Matthews, and former New York Governor George Pataki to gang up on Ahmed with their relentless victim-blaming racism and Islamophobia.
All of the white male panelists agreed that Ahmed's arrest was "wrong," yet devoted most of their time defending the school and blaming Ahmed. This is absolutely appalling. For instance, Maher expressed that Ahmed's clock "looks exactly like a fucking bomb," while Mark Cuban blamed Ahmed for not "opening his mouth" and "not having a conversation with his teacher." Pataki said the incident had nothing to do with Ahmed's race and religion, and Matthews blamed Ahmed for not being "forthcoming." Matthews also whined about how people always rush to side with "the minorities." With all of the cheering and applause that came from the audience each time someone bashed on Ahmed, Muslims, and Islam, I'm surprised I didn't hear "U-S-A" chants.
What is atrocious about the commentary from Maher and the other white male panelists is their attempt to vilify Ahmed and depict him as "treacherous," "deceitful," and "conniving." Mark Cuban spoke about his phone interview with Ahmed and mentions how he could hear Ahmed's sister giving him the answers. I should note here that Cuban said this with a really odd and disturbing tone of enthusiasm and excitement, as if he just solved a mystery or was revealing something that would raise everyone's suspicion about Ahmed.
"The kid is a super-smart kid, a science geek," Cuban said. "I talked to him about science. But when I'm talking to him on the phone, as I asked him a question, 'Tell me what happened,' because I'm curious, right? His sister, over his shoulder, you could hear, listening to the question, giving him the answer."
Like, can you believe that? His sister was telling him what to say! See how conniving and suspicious these Muslims are! This is an utterly despicable and cruel attempt to depict Ahmed and his family as "untrustworthy." What was Cuban expecting? Ahmed is 14-years-old and he was just arrested by a school that saw him as a criminal and terrorist. Cuban is going to insult Ahmed and his sister for wanting to guide him through an interview, during a time when Muslims, Black people, and other people of color are constantly demonized in media and society?
What Cuban fails and refuses to understand is that Black children, Muslim children, and other children of color are not trained in schools on how to deal with racist discrimination. That is why people of color rely on their parents, siblings, relatives, and other support systems to help them through these situations. I cannot speak for Ahmed's sister or family, but I would not be surprised if they wanted Ahmed to be careful about what he said to the media, especially if there's a condescending, victim-blaming racist like Cuban interviewing him.
But Cuban didn't stop there. Watching how hyper he was to keep speaking reminded me of typical high school bullies who like to shout their insults, but then, only seconds later, are eager to chime in to spew more insults. Like, "Oh oh wait, let me say this about him too!" After Matthews made his absurd complaints about Ahmed not being "forthcoming" (which I'll get to in a minute), Cuban jumped in, saying: "Do you know who the big winner is? Ahmed. When I talked to him, he got all the attention, right? His two hours were taken. But he told me, 'I've been getting all these offers. I'm not going back to MacArthur. I'm going to pick which school I want to go to because everyone's offering me scholarships.' The kid came out way ahead."
So, Ahmed is the "big winner" here because he got all of the "attention" he was supposedly seeking? Look at all those schools offering him scholarships, Cuban says. See how using the "race card" gets Muslims and people of color ahead? See the advantages of being a racial and religious minority in the United States? Sure, you may get shot, arrested, fired, expelled, bullied, attacked in hate crimes, and so on, but look at all the attention you can get! Cuban's comments are not too different than Richard Dawkins' recent tweets accusing Ahmed of wanting to be arrested. Maher went further and diminished the impact of Ahmed's arrest by saying, "We put a kid after school for a couple of hours, this is not the end of the world!" As if there is nothing potentially traumatic about being arrested in handcuffs and humiliated in your own school, not to mention being interrogated by 4 police officers who repeatedly refuse to let you notify and talk to your parents.
What is inconsistent about the attacks against Ahmed is that they obscure the truth. Ahmed told his teacher that he made a clock, not a bomb. How much more "forthcoming" did Matthews and the other white panelists want him to be? But we have seen these efforts to vilify and demonize Black youth before. Kiera Wilmot, a Black teenager in Florida, was arrested and expelled from school in 2013 after her science project exploded by accident (no one was injured). Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown were accused of "not being saints" by the media after their murders. The message is always loud and clear whenever people of color are discriminated against or even murdered: it was their fault.
Mexican-American journalist Jorge Ramos was the only person on the panel who defended Ahmed, but was shouted at and belittled by Maher, Cuban, Matthews, and Pataki. Maher knew that getting a majority of white men on his side would not only help him bash Ahmed, Muslims, and Islam, but also that no one in the audience would cheer or applaud Ramos for his defense of a Black Muslim teen. Ramos was ridiculed to the point where he was seen as "uneducated," "incoherent," and "irrational."
At one point, after Maher reiterated the arrest of Ahmed was "wrong," he justified the arrest because "for the last 30 years, it's been one culture that has been blowing shit up over and over again." One culture? Who has been blowing up Gaza over and over again? Who opened fire on Black people in Charleston, South Carolina? Who massacred Sikhs in their Gurdwara in Wisconsin? Who massacred children in the Newtown school shootings or the attacks in Norway? What about the white Christian terrorist who planned to massacre a predominately Black Muslim population in the town of Islamberg, New York? Who murdered the three Arab Muslim students in Chapel Hill or the Somali Muslim teen in Kansas City? What about the U.S. bombings of Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as the drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia? Which "culture" is responsible for that?
Maher says a Muslim adult should have taken Ahmed aside and told him, "Look what happened to you was wrong, but maybe one of the reasons why it happened to you is because, in our religion, we were responsible for 9/11, the Madrid bombings, the London bombings," etc. In case if it isn't obvious, Maher believes Muslims — all 1.5 billion of us — are collectively responsible for attacks that were carried out by other people. I want a white adult to explain to Maher that the reason his Islamophobia and racism is so dangerous to Muslims and people of color is because "our people (white people) have been responsible for so much demonization, racism, misogyny, violence, and terrorism committed against black people, indigenous peoples, Muslims, and other people of color." In fact, his Islamophobia fuels the kind of attitudes and behaviors that impact Muslims like Ahmed Mohamed.
But Maher loves to deflect. On the show, he mentioned Ali Mohammed al-Nimr, a Shia activist who is being horribly sentenced to death by the Saudi Arabian government for participating in anti-government protests. What is repulsive about Maher mentioning al-Nimr is that he's trying to deflect attention away from Islamophobia in the west, but also that he's exploiting al-Nimr to make his political points about Islam being a "religion of violence." In other words, Maher doesn't really care about al-Nimr; he just cares about "proving" his point about how "barbaric" Islam and Muslims really are. He is also trying to create the impression that there aren't any Muslims outraged about al-Nimr's sentencing. Anyone who believes in a religion, especially Islam, is seen as "brainwashed" by Maher, so what does he think about Muslims like al-Nimr? That they're "brainwashed" by their own religion?
What also needs to be emphasized here is that Maher's statement about Ahmed's arrest is something a lot of people believe. The narrative that Islamophobia is a result of 9/11 is one that many, both Muslims and non-Muslims, buy into. We need to denounce this narrative and understand that Islamophobia is not caused by the actions of other Muslims.
But let's deconstruct this belief. Let's follow the logic that Islamophobia is, in fact, a result of 9/11, the Madrid bombings, and the London bombings, as Bill Maher claims. Let's forget that, before 9/11, there was the brutal dispossession of Palestine, western colonialism and imperialism in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, or the demonization of Muslims and Islam in the media, including in U.S. cinema. While we're at it, let's forget about the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades, too.
So, the logic goes, if a member of a particular group of people commits an act of violence, then the response from the general public and the state is to target said group with stereotypes, hate crimes, negative media depictions, and policies, right? For example, if a Muslim person carries out an act of violence, then the entire Muslim population will be held collectively responsible, face bigotry and discrimination, and will be subject to racist policies and laws. Oh, and countries that have a Muslim-majority population will be bombed. So, this should mean that when white Christians commit violent atrocities, the entire white Christian population will suffer the same consequences too, right?
But we know the latter does not happen. We don't see institutionalized racism against white people as a response to the crimes and actions of individual white people. This is because we live in a white supremacist society where white people, especially white men, are privileged and valued over the lives of people of color. Because white supremacy is foundational to the United States, it is deeply ingrained in society — so ingrained that we accept it as a norm. This is why anti-racist leaders, activists, and writers teach us that we all need to unlearn racism. White supremacist socialization and logic is the reason why people are able to make distinctions between white male terrorists and the rest of the white population, while not making the same distinctions for people of color. This is why politicians, the media, and the general public see Dylan Roof as a "lone wolf." White people are not treated as a racialized group that need to be put under surveillance, racially profiled, demonized, and bombed.
The uncomfortable reality is that it's not just Bill Maher who reinforces this idea that Islamophobia exists because of Osama bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS. We hear this narrative from Muslim-American political commentators and representatives of U.S.-based Muslim civil rights groups, too. Granted, Maher diminishes the existence of Islamophobia and describes it as "not being a big deal," but Muslim-Americans who claim to be speaking for us in the mainstream media need to stop saying Islamophobia is the result of 9/11 and ISIS. As I mentioned above, if this logic was true, then it would apply to white Christians, too, but we know it doesn't.
Islamophobia is not simply about ignorance or individual acts of bigotry, but rather an institutionalized form of oppression that has existed long before 9/11. As Maher demonstrated on his show, his attacks against Ahmed are also his attacks against Islam and Muslims. Furthermore, these hateful views go beyond sentiments; they fuel hate crimes, oppressive policies, and imperialist violence against Muslims.
In order to challenge Islamophobia effectively, we need to understand it within this context of white supremacy, not by Maher's victim-blaming "Muslims-caused-Islamophobia" definition of it.

Any opportunity to 'one another'
Three years ago, I wrote this post called "Any opportunity to 'one another'." The encouragement here is to find any opportunity to care for, teach, build up, disciple one another.
Any opportunity to 'one another'
A couple of weeks ago, we were able to spend time on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with other believers. We love to get together with one another to share meals, to talk, to serve… really, any "excuse" to spend time with one another.
Last week, Margaret, my wife, was sick for a couple of days. Then, I caught the bug from her and was sick for a few more days. During that week, we didn't spend much time with other believers. (Actually, Margaret was able to attend our regular Sunday meeting, and she was also able to have lunch with another couple on Sunday. But, that was all of the interaction that we had with other believers that week.)
So, when Monday rolled around – and we were both finally feeling better – we jumped at the chance to have dinner with some friends of ours. This time, we went to a restaurant, and not just any restaurant, one of our favorites! On the ride to the restaurant, during dinner, and on the way home we had a great conversation about many different topics – from spending time at the beach, to their influence in the lives of our children, to hearing and knowing and following the will of God, and many other topics that flowed naturally (supernaturally?) from our relationships with one another and from our mutual relationships with God.
Occasionally, when we think of church, it is easy to get stuck on the big things: big groups, big meetings, big projects, big results, big presentations, big themes, big sermons… But, if we continue in our life stuck on the idea that "church" is only in the big things, then we may miss some of the most important things that God has for us, those things that can only be found in the intimate relationships that God is building between us and other brothers and sisters in Christ.
Sometimes, God teaches us more from a few words from a friend than from a 30 minute sermon. Sometimes, God uses us more in a simple hug than in an afternoon of working hard with a large group. Sometimes, God reveals himself more in the tears of a friend that we're consoling than in a large group of people that we do not know as well.
I like the big things. I like to gather with a large group of believers and hear about the many ways that God is working and changing and moving and teaching. I like singing with a large group of believers. I like the big things.
But, God is also – and at times even more – in the small things too. I hope this encourages you to take any opportunity to "one another". Even "small" opportunities… you might just find God there.

U.S. Indicts 27 for ID Theft Scam Involving Apple Products
The Manhattan District Attorney on Wednesday indicted 27 individuals for running a crime ring that purchashed Apple products with stolen credit card information and re-sold the devices for a profit.
The credit card forgery and identity theft ring, known as "S3," operated out of Brooklyn but purchased and re-sold Apple products throughout the country. Starting in June 2008, S3 purchased information from online data traffickers, including names and credit card account numbers of ID theft victims. With a shared e-mail account, they used this information to create counterfeit credit cards, which were used to buy things at Apple retail stores.
Members of S3 bought iPods, MacBooks, iPads, and gift cards at Apple stores in New York, Florida, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Connecticut, Alabama, Oregon, Indiana, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Those products were then sold for cash at below-retail cost to people in Brooklyn, known as "fences." These fences then re-sold the goods for a profit.
The ringleader of S3 was Shaheed Bilal, according to Manhattan DA Cyrus R. Vance. Despite the fact that Bilal was eventually sent to Rikers Island on unrelated charges, he continued to lead S3 from behind bars with the assistance of his girlfriend, Ophelia Alleyne. Bilal was released from prison in December 2010 and continued to purchase, receive, and share stolen credit card information.
Bilal's brothers - Ali and Rahim - are accused of recruiting "shoppers" to buy the products at Apple stores. One of the recruits, Anthony Harper, reportedly broke off and started his own, similar ring. That ring is being charged in a second, separate indictment.
"This case demonstrates the dangers of organized computer crime," Vance said in a statement. "Today, we have effectively dismantled a significant criminal operation that preyed upon innocent victims around the world. By working with our partners in law enforcement, we will continue to use all available tools to root out cybercrime in New York City and beyond."
The effort was a joint investigation between the New York County DA's office and the U.S. Secret Service. Apple also cooperated with the investigation, according to Vance.
Charges include grand larceny, conspiracy, and criminal possession of a forged instrument. The DA's office has seized $300,000 in cash and bank account holdings from the crime rings.

#WeSeeYou: From Hood To Hooded, Congratulations Dr. Shon!
The wearing of distinctive regalia for universities consisting of a cap, gown and hood began in England. There, in the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges prescribed the wearing of a long gown by faculty and students. Although originally attached to the robe, the hood subsequently became separated. Upon completion of a bachelor's degree, bachelors had an optional woolen or badger skin lining added to their hoods. Graduates of higher degree (doctors and above) and individuals of high birth had hoods lined with silk, sandal, or fur. Over time, distinctive colors were adopted by each discipline to distinguish them from their colleagues in other fields of learning.

Approximately 71%, or 361 million square kilometers (roughly 139 million square miles), of the earth's surface is covered by water. The other 29% of the globe, or 149 million square kilometers (roughly 58 million square miles) is land. The world has five oceans called the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, and Arctic Ocean. The masses of land are divided up into seven large sections known as continents. The continent names are North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa.
The top contiguous entities on the planet are, in decreasing order, Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Southern Ocean, Russia, Arctic Ocean, Antarctica, Canada, United States and China. The world's biggest islands (an island being a tract of land completely encompassed by water) are (in alphabetical order) - Baffin Island, Borneo, Ellesmere Island, Great Britain, Greenland, Honshu, Madagascar, New Guinea and Sumatra.

How many time zones are there?
The lowest point on earth is the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, which reaches a depth of 10,924 meters (6.8 miles) below the surface of the water. The highest point is Mount Everest, which reaches a height of 8,850 meters (5.5 miles).
Forty-six countries and areas on the earth are landlocked, meaning they have no natural direct access to any sea. Some of these are Afghanistan, Austria, Bolivia, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, the Holy See (Vatican City), Hungary, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Nepal, Paraguay, Rwanda, Switzerland, Uganda and Zimbabwe.
There are also only two countries that border fourteen other nations - Russia and China.
Bible Statistics
King James was the first monarch over England, Scotland, and Ireland. In 1604, he brought together 54 translators to produce a Bible that would rival the popular Geneva translation. In 1611, this effort produced what eventually is entitled the Authorized or King James Version Bible translation. The book's church printing contained a church calendar for the year, a map of the Holy Land, and Jesus' lineage. Today, printed in 400+ languages, God's word is the most popular book in history.
There are more than six billion copies of the Bible in circulation. This figure does not include the various digital versions of the Bible in use by computers, smart phones, etc. The New Testament is available in more than 1,100 languages, with the Gospel of Mark printed in over 2,300. A copy of the Bible is accessible to well over 90% of the world's population.

TV's Most Surreal Music Performances: The Who
Subscribe to Diffuser.fm on
It's been said that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And the Who made quite a bang of their first one when they made their American network television debut on Sept. 17, 1967, with a performance on 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.'
The British mod-rockers were coming off a somewhat underwhelming set at the Monterey Pop Festival three months earlier — their first high-profile U.S. performance was stymied by technical difficulties that prevented the band from unleashing its full sonic fury — and they wanted to make up for it with an unforgettable TV performance. Mission accomplished.
The Who played two songs on 'Smothers Brothers,' and the first one went off pretty much without a hitch. Opening with 'I Can See for Miles' from that year's 'The Who Sell Out' album, Pete Townshend and the boys turned in a pitch-perfect rendition of the tune — helped, obviously, by the fact that they were miming along to a prerecorded version (because of its complex rhythms and vocal harmonies, the Who rarely played 'I Can See for Miles' live at the time).
It's when the Who ripped into my 'My Generation' that things really got interesting. Again, the band was miming its way through — this time around it was little more obvious, thanks to the stuttering cadence of Roger Daltrey's delivery — and they had some fun with it. By the second verse, Keith Moon was tossing his sticks up in the air during a lull in the drumming and catching them in time to keep the beat.
But it wasn't long until things descended into chaos. As the song fell into a free-form noise jam, Townshend went from using his mic stand as a slide, to stabbing his guitar into his amp, to throwing it around, to raising it over his head and smashing it. Moon knocked over his kit as Daltey grabbed a cymbal stand and swung it around; John Entwistle just stood there, plucking away on his bass and looking bored.
A series of pyro explosions filled the set with smoke, culminating with one massive boom that was so big it singed Townshend's hair and sent shrapnel flying (rumor has it that Moon bribed a 'Smothers Brothers' stage hand to load up his bass drum with three times the amount of explosives the band normally used onstage).
Just when it seemed things couldn't get worse, they did. As Tommy Smothers returned with an acoustic guitar strapped around his shoulder for the segment outro, Daltrey grabbed the instrument and proceeded to smash it to pieces, much to the obvious annoyance of Tommy. "Hey Dick, I'd like to borrow your bass for a minute," Tommy joked to his brother offstage. "I don't have a bass, but I have a band aid," Dick mocked back.

How the Dubai toll works
What is a Salik tag?
A Salik tag is a sticker with an electronic chip readable
by scanners installed at the toll gates using Radio Frequency Identification technology. It works in all weather conditions and speeds, and provides accurate and reliable identification of your vehicle.
Where can I buy a Salik tag?
You can buy a Salik tag and open a Salik account at all branches of Dubai Islamic Bank and Emirates Bank in addition to Epco, Enoc and Emarat petrol stations in Dubai.
How does Salik work?
Motorists will not have to stop to pay the toll. They will have to purchase pre-paid cards and the fix machine-readable-stickers on the vehicle's front windshield. Toll charges will be deducted from their cards every time they pass under the electronic gates fitted with scanners.
Where are the toll gates located and how much is the toll fee?
Motorists crossing Al Garhoud Bridge or entering Shaikh Zayed Road from Fourth Interchange will be charged Dh4 per entry.
What is your Salik account?
Your Salik tag helps the system to identify you and is associated with your personal Salik account. Your Salik account is created when you buy a Salik tag. You must provide information about yourself and your vehicle to open your prepaid account and properly pay your tolls. Simply having a tag on your windshield is not enough and may result in a fine if your tag is not registered to your account.
How do I open a Salik account?
To open a Salik account you should provide a completed application when you purchase your tag. These applications are available at retail outlets or can be downloaded from the Salik website. Your account number will be sent to you via SMS when your application is processed. You will need to provide a copy of your car registration at the time of submitting an application.
Do I need to fill out an application form?
Yes, when first opening your account you will be required to provide information including your personal details as well as a copy of your car registration.
What happens if I do not have a Salik tag but use toll gates? Ideally, you should get and install a tag prior to travelling through the Salik zones or take an alternate route to avoid fines. You will be fined Dh100 for not having a Salik tag. But there is no need to panic, as you can still have your fine waived if you open a Salik account and affix a Salik tag within two days of committing the violation.
What happens if I don't have enough credit in my account?
You will receive an SMS as a reminder and you should top up your account. There are various methods to top up the account, including the web, participating banks or petrol stations.
Can I drive through the toll zone immediately after buying a tag?
Yes, if your tag is purchased and installed properly and an application is submitted or in process, the proper toll will be assessed and no violation will occur.
Will I have a separate account for every tag?
No, each account can have multiple tags. However, each account will have one account owner and one associated mobile number for communicating account information.
What if I damage or lose my tag?
If your Salik tag gets damaged or lost, the vehicle owner must pay for a new tag to replace it.
Someone else was driving my car at the time of violation. Do I have to pay?
Yes, the owner of the vehicle is responsible for any toll violation, regardless of who was driving at the time the violation occurred.
How do I manage my Salik account?
You may access your account online at www.salik.ae or call the Salik customer service centre at 800 SALIK (72545). You can use ATMs at selected banks to top up your account or get a balance enquiry. Top ups can also be done online with a credit or debit card. Your account balance can be requested via SMS.
Are there any off or peak hours?
No, there are no off or peak hours. Salik will be operational round the clock.
What if I sell my vehicle?
Call 800 SALIK (72545) to deactivate your Salik tag from the vehicle you plan to sell. Remove the tag from the windshield when you sell your vehicle. If you buy a new vehicle, contact the Salik customer service centre to purchase a new tag or buy one at a retail location.
Who is exempt from toll charges?
Public transport buses, school buses, ambulances, police and army vehicles will be exempt from the toll.
What if I have more than one vehicle?
You can open an account in your name and buy tags under that account. You can buy tags for all your vehicles, but they will be charged to one account. You can add as many tags as you want to your account.
Is there a maximum amount that can be charged in a day?
Yes, there will be a maximum charge of Dh24 for each car for unlimited crossings per day.
What happens if I get a fine for not having enough credit in my account?
If you have a Salik tag on the windshield and pass through the toll gate without having enough credit, you will be fined Dh50. But the fine will be waived if you replenish your account within two days.
What If I am driving to Dubai from other emirates or other countries and do not have a Salik tag?
You will see signs warning you about toll gates on the roads leading to toll zones. It is advisable to stop at the nearest petrol station and buy a Salik tag and register to open an account. But if you do not have time, you can just use the road and your fine will be waived if you register for Salik within two days.
What if my company has many vehicles?
Companies or individuals who have more than one vehicle do not require separate Salik accounts for each vehicle. They can open one account in their name and can get separate tags for all their vehicles working under the same account.
Will passengers in taxis pay the toll?
Yes, taxis are not exempt from the toll and the passenger travelling through the toll controlled area will be charged Dh4 with the taxi fare. However, passengers will have the option to opt for the Salik route or alternative routes.
What happens if you drive a rental car?
Rental car companies will be able to check through the website whether the person who rented a car used a toll gate and they will be charged accordingly.
Can I use sections of the road between the toll gates without being charged the Dh4?
Yes. You will be charged only if you pass through a toll gate. If you use part of the road, entering and exiting without going through the toll gates, you will not be charged.
How long can I use the credit in my Salik account?
There is no limit. You can use money credited to your Salik account until you run out of credit. There is no time limit.
Call centre and website
The RTA has launched a bilingual website, www.salik.ae and a trilingual Salik Call Centre to answer public queries about Dubai's forthcoming toll system. The 800-SALIK (72545) call centre will provide all necessary information related to the new system in Arabic, English and Urdu, as part of the RTA's efforts to spread awareness about the new service.

Being a Canadian law, it only applies to spam originating from Canada.

Consent may be implied if:
- there is an existing relationship between the sender and the recipient, business-related or otherwise;
- the recipient has published his email address without an accompanying statement that he does not wish to receive unsolicited commercial electronic messages at that electronic address, and the message is relevant to the person's business, role, functions or duties in a business or official capacity; and
- the recipient has disclosed his email address to the sender without indicating a wish not to receive unsolicited commercial electronic messages at that email address, and the message is relevant to the person's business, role, functions or duties in a business or official capacity.

- identify the person, if any, on whose behalf the message is sent, including contact information;
- set out an unsubscribe mechanism; and

With so many supplies on the back-to-school list, it's easy to overspend.

There are deals to be had, though, and it's possible to save big by using a few tricks to keep spending in check.
The keys: secret online promos and special in-store discounts. Here's how to find them.

Raleigh nuturing startup businesses
Posted April 27, 2015
Updated April 28, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — At HQ Raleigh, a shared working space in the Warehouse District downtown, a lot of businesses are born and raised.
One of them is Vaporware, a company co-founded by Dan Moore that develops software applications. He admits his strength was on the technical side.
"But I did not have any idea about business, financial, marketing or any of these other aspects of business," Moore said.
That's where a strong startup community comes in to help.
"That high risk really depends on that really strong network to connect with," Moore said.
Connecting with experienced people can make or break a new business, and Raleigh's economic developers know it.
"Our startup culture is very young," said Derrick Minor, a manager with Raleigh's Economic Development Office.
The city launched an interactive map to show where Raleigh's startups are, and Minor said it helps existing businesses get to know their neighbors. It also attracts new entrepreneurs.
"By showing these clusters and showing these types of companies that are here, that will help attract other companies and talent to the market," Minor said.
Vaporware is 3 years old, healthy and growing.
Moore gives Raleigh's startup community a lot of the credit. He said as it grows, so does the city's reputation as a good place to get started.
"With the universities, RTP and the Triangle as a whole, this hub is going to continue to grow," he said.
Moore is hosting an event in May called {{a href="external_link2"}}Fail Fest,{{/a}} which will bring together entrepreneurs to talk about learning from their mistakes.
There's also a website for virtual co-working.

The Fairfield PAL Boxing Club is selling tickets to their Summer Showdown being held June 14.
Doors will open at 12:30 p.m., with bouts starting at 2 p.m. and the tournament and exhibition, which will feature local female and male boxers from the Fairfield PAL Boxing Program.
The Showdown will be held at 250 Travis Boulevard.
According to a press release from Lt. Kevin Carella, "The boxing program, with its strong cardio component, is a great way for students to improve fitness, increase stamina, improve conditioning, and enhance general health and wellness."
Beyond the fitness benefits of the program, it provides PAL members with a unique outlet to develop their critical thinking and risk taking skills, as well as improving their social skills. "Boxers," Carella continued, "develop valuable teamwork skills, while learning to evaluate their actions along with the consequences."
According to the release, boxing is a team sport that "gives students a sense of worth and self-esteem."
"The frantic quest to prove themselves by bravado is not necessary for members of the boxing team," Carella noted. "They no longer feel that they have to pick fights, but can instead, walk away."
The Fairfield PAL Boxing Program, along with its Kajukenbo martial arts component, operates every day at the Fairfield PAL Center, 2195 Union Ave. in Fairfield.
The Fairfield PAL Program is open to Fairfield, Suisun and Travis Students enrolled in grades seven through 12.
Membership costs $10 per year and can be purchased at the Fairfield Community Center, 1000 Kentucky St., Monday through Thursday between 11:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Fairfield PAL program offers Fairfield, Suisun, and Travis teens a place to grow, learn, and build the skills they need today and in the future.
Tickets will be available in advance at the Fairfield Community Center and at the door for $15.
The PAL Boxing Program will have a snack bar available during the event.

State Senate to honor Sister Debbie Blow, North Country Mission of Hope co-founder
Sister Debbie Blow, O. P., a co-founder of the North Country Mission of Hope, will be recognized in Albany early next month as a New York State Senate Woman of Distinction.
Senator Betty Little has nominated Sister Debbie for the recognition, citing her leadership in organizing a sustained humanitarian mission to Nicaragua that, since 1998, has provided healthcare to more than 60,000 people, educated hundreds of students, constructed more than 500 homes, as well as classrooms, a library and community development center, and fed thousands of malnourished children through the Children Feeding Children Program.
"Plans for the North Country Mission of Hope's 50th mission trip are underway, so this is certainly a fitting time to recognize Sister Debbie for her extraordinary work," said Little. "Tens of thousands of lives have been transformed for the better due to her vision and dedication and the more than 1,300 volunteers who have made numerous trips to Nicaragua. This mission not only has provided Nicaraguans living in poverty critically important tangibles like housing, healthcare and food, but a sense of hope, a remarkable gift."
Sister Debbie, O.P., a Dominican Sister of Hope, co-founded the mission in response to Hurricane Mitch, which killed more than 22,000 people in Central America in 1998. A Nicaraguan student whom Sister Debbie helped rescue when the family escaped civil war in the 1980s informed her of the storm's impact on the poverty stricken country.
The New York State Senate Women of Distinction event will be held in the Legislative Office Building in Albany on Tuesday, May 7. The annual event honors outstanding women from across New York State for their professional and volunteer work to enrich the lives of others.
More can be learned about the North Country Mission of Hope at www.ncmissionofhope.org.

Pseudopods are cell extensions used for movement. The direction and trajectory of cell movement depend on how cells extend pseudopods. Experimental data show that new pseudopods are frequently formed by the splitting of an existing pseudopod, often as a series of left-right extensions. Here, these data on pseudopod extensions are discussed in the context of a theoretical model for pseudopod splitting.

A letter addressed to New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has tested positive for ricin. Photo: Reuters
New York: Two letters addressed to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his gun control group contained material believed to be the deadly poison ricin, and referenced the debate on gun laws, police said on Wednesday.
The New York Police Department said initial tests on the two letters, opened in New York and Washington, DC, indicated the presence of ricin. Emergency workers who came in contact with the letters showed minor symptoms of ricin exposure, the police said.
One of the letters was opened on Sunday in Washington by Mark Glaze, the director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group that lobbies for stricter gun laws and was founded by Bloomberg. The other letter was opened on Friday at a mail facility in Manhattan.
Both contained threats against Mr Bloomberg and mentioned the gun debate, police said in a statement.
