Accra, May 28, GNA – Mr Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Trade and Industry, on Wednesday assured stakeholders that government had taken note of the different anxieties regarding the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and would ensure the right is done.
In order not to exacerbate the economic situation in the country, I assure you that government will ensure that the right thing is done before the deadline of 1st October 2014, he said in speech read for him at the 75th National Exporters Forum and the launch of 2013 Non-Traditional Export performance in Accra.
In line with this, Mr Iddrisu said the Ministry was undertaking the necessary assessment of the consequences the country might suffer by not signing the Agreement as well as the consequences of signing the agreement.
In as much as we consider concerns of Civil Society Organisations as legitimate, my Ministry is undertaking the necessary assessment of the consequences the country may suffer by not signing the agreement as well as the consequences of signing the Agreement, he said
He said while the signing of the EPA would make Ghana continue to enjoy duty-free and quota-free access for non-traditional exports, the country would, however, be guided by the collective position of ECOWAS in conformity with the regions common goal.
The EPAs are reciprocal trade arrangement that the EU is seeking to sign with the countries in the West African sub-region.
To sustain exports, Mr Iddrisu said government was taking the concrete steps to diversify exports markets and was working hard to establish other trade offices outside the European for exporters.
He said government would be opening new trade offices in Japan, China, Turkey and South Africa to deepen bilateral relations.
Besides, government is also strengthening our quality infrastructure especially the laboratories at the Food and Drugs Authority to ensure that our exports meet the requirements of the emerging markets.
Mr Haruna said government is in the process of setting up an SME fund to finance and reduce cost of borrowing by small medium enterprises as a demonstration of commitment to the development of the private sector.
He said a pilot scheme would soon be rolled out to mobilise and deploy about GH¢50 million from the Export Development Agriculture and Investment Fund and other sources.
Mr Gideon Quarcoo, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Export Promotion Authority urged President John Dramani Mahama and counterpart Presidents in the ECOWAS sub-region to consider signing the Economic Partnership Agreement to ensure sustained exports to the European Union.
Ghana recorded US$ 2.436 billion in 2013 in non-traditional export earnings, an increase of 3.05 per cent over the 2012 earnings of US$ 2.364 billion.
Mr Quarcoo said the sector continued to be driven by value added products such as cocoa and timber products.
However, he said, the full potential of these value-added products had not been realized yet and efforts must be made to achieve higher levels of value-addition through enhanced investments in agro-processing and other productive sectors.
The National Exporters Forum is a platform for interaction between exporters and facilitating institutions and has helped identify and address constraints in the non-tradition export sector.

Mortality reviews 3September 2, 2012
A Wit Rages Before the Abyss
By Henry Allen
The proof that there is no afterlife is that Christopher Hitchens is not sending us columns, essays, books, perversities, aperçus and polemics from it. The closest we have so far is the 104 pages of "Mortality." He wrote them while knowing that he would die soon of esophageal cancer, which he did last Dec. 15, at the age of 62. Not a word from him since. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444812704577605110400199868.html

Mortality by Christopher Hitchens – review
By Colm Tóibín
He was the best company in the whole world; he had read widely and because he was an industrious man and filled with curiosity, he hoped to read much more. He would stay up late drinking and talking, moving with judicious and delicious care from the large questions of the day to the small sweet business of invective, anecdotes and gossip.
The New York Times/Sunday Book Review
Staying power
By Christopher Buckley
Christopher Hitchens began his memoir, "Hitch-22," on a note of grim amusement at finding himself described in a British National Portrait Gallery publication as "the late Christopher Hitchens." He wrote, "So there it is in cold print, the plain unadorned phrase that will one day become unarguably true." http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/02/books/review/mortality-by-christopher-hitchens.html
Big Think
Book Of The Month
By Nick Clairmont
We are pleased but saddened to introduce our third book of the month: Mortality by Christopher Hitchens. The posthumous book represents the last work of the great journalist, polemicist, and thinker. http://bigthink.com/book-of-the-month/book-of-the-month-mortality-by-christopher-hitchens
The Last Word
By Jeff Sharlet
Mortality, a posthumous collection of Christopher Hitchens's short essays on living with terminal esophageal cancer—"a distinctly bizarre way of 'living,'" he emphasizes, "lawyers in the morning and doctors in the afternoon"—is an odd little book, neither fully a cancer memoir nor a meditation on the meanings we attribute to the disease.

Major crime has dropped a total of 3 percent in the city so far this year, as the Big Apple continues to buck a nationwide trend that has seen incidents shoot up in other major municipalities, authorities announced Monday.
There were 2,322 fewer so-called index crimes reported as of the end of September over the same period in 2015, officials said. There were also 97 fewer shootings so far this year, for a 10.9 percent drop, and 10 fewer murders, a 3.7 percent decrease.
The numbers were released at a news conference at One Police Plaza attended by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner James O'Neill, who was leading his first monthly crime briefing as the city's top cop since taking over for former Commissioner Bill Bratton last month.
"The hard work of the men and woman of the NYPD is self-evident, but it is also supported by sustained reduction in crime," O'Neill said. "With September's sharp reductions in every major crime category, on top of a historically low-crime summer, we are posed for a terrific fall season."
Domestic violence was one area that hasn't decreased, with a nearly 3 percent jump.
Last week, five of the 10 homicides tallied by the NYPD were domestic in nature, officials said.
Index crimes include burglary, robbery, rape, assault, grand larceny auto, shootings and murder.

Hilde Bakken has headed Statkraft's new business area, Power Generation, since 1 February 2013. Early on, she said there would be changes. A brand new management team is now in place.
As a chartered engineer with experience from ConocoPhillips, Hydro and 13 years in Statkraft, three of which on the executive management team, Hilde Bakken, at 47, is herself well prepared for the task as head of Power Generation (PG). She also took an extensive course at the Norwegian National Defence College, which will be very useful when contributing to Statkraft's safety and preparedness project as head of the steering committee.
As head of PG, she is responsible for the operation and further development of flexible European assets, operation and maintenance of wind power, and business area International Hydro's European power plants. The Statkraft Project Management Office (PMO) also reports to Bakken.
"I've spent a lot of time since I got started on getting a governance model in place in PG, and the levels below me has been restructured accordingly."
"Statkraft has an ambition to have a lasting competitive advantage within operations and maintenance," says Bakken. "This is no small task for PG to deliver. And everything we do must be done in a way that safeguards health, safety and the environment (HSE) in the best possible manner. We must also deliver projects on time and within budget, and work on maintaining our portfolio. "
The challenges are many: HSE, a growing maintenance portfolio, new framework conditions and a power market in constant change. The average age among the 600 Norwegian employees is high, which indicates a need to secure fresh development and operational expertise in years to come.
"Our facilities are ageing," she says. "How are we to maintain them in a sound fashion? At the same time we must, of course, look for opportunities to acquire new expertise and capacity."
Power Generation increases focus on management, strategy and long-term issues, in addition to continued attention to sound operations. This means that some changes will be made to the organisation and several new functions will be established. The latter includes business development, coordination and development of wind energy projects as well as strategic and long-term development of facilities.
Some of the principles that form the basis for further development of the PG organisation include:
1) more explicit delegation of authority and responsibility to the line,
2) clear roles and responsibilities,
3) clear local, national and global processes, roles and deliveries,
4) and that PG must become clearer and better at its role as a service provider, both internally between units and externally with other areas within Statkraft.
The vision of delivering "pure energy" flows through all of Statkraft. The strategy of flexible power generation and energy trade in Norway and the rest of Western Europe, with a major focus on renewable energy, has established clear guidelines for the organisation.
"We're a highly experienced, competent and loyal organisation which carries out its work in a good and consistent manner over time," says Bakken. "But there are challenges that we need to address. The organisation has grown significantly over the past five years, a trend that will continue. It is important to handle this development in a good and efficient way."
Another challenge is the very strained financial situation in Europe. This will naturally impact the power industry and Statkraft.
"Our gas-fired power portfolio is struggling with profitability due to low coal and CO2 prices, as well as significant growth in solar energy," says Bakken. "As a result of this, a decision was made in March to put the Robert Frank gas-fired power plant in cold reserve. This means a major downsizing of staff at the plant.
"The changes in Europe will also impact Statkraft's activities in the Nordic region. Power consumption is affected by economic trends on the continent and the price level of CO2 means that the future prospects for power prices are anything but bright.
"Developing new renewable energy in the Nordic region and access to more nuclear power from our Nordic neighbours means that the power surplus is growing," Bakken says. "This means our dependency on more new international interconnectors will increase."
This backdrop is one of the reasons why Bakken is signalling changes to the PG structure. The background was presented internally in the company in March 2013.
"A lot of what we do today was also being done 20 or 30 years ago, so that our work methods have been established over time," she says.
"There are many positive aspects of how we work now. But since the framework conditions have been changed, both for existing and new tasks, we will be forced to work slightly differently in the future. A lot of work remains, but what is certain is that there will be changes in the PG structure."
Bakken says she wants to make responsibilities more clear than they are today.
"The work processes will change, so that the line and operative function have greater responsibility," she explains. "Those with authority must be willing and competent to handle the commitments and responsibilities that come with the territory."
While change can be a challenge for some organisations, Bakken is not worried.
"I think the organisation is robust enough to handle change and do things differently," she says. "What is important to me is that I won't be locked up in an office, thinking about our most important priorities and objectives on my own. I want the entire organisation to be part of this development. I think this is the way to achieve the best results. And with such a competent organisation, I won't settle for anything less."

Emergency scare on The Block0:33
Suspected heart attack puts a halt on hard work during Channel Nine's The Block. Nine Network
DALE Vine knows all about being rushed to hospital with a medical emergency during filming of The Block, which made him the perfect choice to play "white knight" after one half of The Two Fat Tradies team was forced out of the series with a heart scare.
While Mark Bowyer has rushed to reassure fans he has made a full recovery since collapsing from a "mild'' heart attack, his replacement has revealed the physical strain he endured during his 2012 stint on The Block All Stars also saw him hospitalised for a blood infection.
Network Ten makes up for lost ratings in catch-up reviewing
In the latest medical emergency to shock The Blockfans, Vine told News Limited he was given 24 hours notice to leave behind his Melbourne landscaping business and wife Sophie to help Bowyer's DIY buddy Duncan Miller keep their Bondi renovation for Channel 9's series on track.
But the chance to help out a mate and return to the Logie-winning reality show was a no-brainer for Vine, who will make his arrival at the Tasman Street cottages on air tonight.
"Once I got there, Duncan wasn't in the best form ... he'd lost his mate and come off a huge week with three rooms to reveal. I'd had some health dramas myself last year and could really sympathise with him. It was all the motivation I needed to just roll up my sleeves and get stuck in,'' he said.
Despite Bowyer getting the all-clear from doctors before the end of the TV build, producers ruled out his return to the competition, with Vine to see out the series as Miller's sidekick.
His debut, however, was not without incident, with the newbie pairing put under pressure during the next challenge: to style the interior of a new luxury apartment.
Racing against the clock, the all-male team strike trouble when their shopping choices are delivered to the wrong address and then their car keys are lost on the work site.
"It was a real baptism of fire,'' Vine said, "but that's what the pressure of The Block does.''
The health dramas have come as a heart-started for the show's ratings, pushing it to state wins against Channel 7 rival, My Kitchen Rules on Monday night.
While MKR kept its national lead (1.791m viewers) over The Block (1.531m), the renovating All Stars out-scored the amateur cooks in Melbourne (537,000 to 519,000) and Brisbane (345,000 to 336,000).
MKR triumphed in Sydney hitting 491,000 viewers to The Block's 417,000.

Online Roulette – Basic Information
I have always loved the roulette. Out of all the casino games, it gives me the most adrenaline. It is the spin of the wheel and the anticipation of where the ball will fall that creates the magic in this casino all time classic. Online roulette is basically the same thing, it creates the same feeling of excitement, and it is just as simple!!!
How to Play
Personally, every time I have been in a casino I have played the roulette. It is such an amazing feeling the power of that tiny ball spinning. Actually, online roulette in online casinos is the same.
- You find an online table you'd like to play.
- You buy chips and you place them on the online board, on your preferred numbers or colors.
- The wheel spins and you just wait for the ball to stay in a number.
- You collect your winnings!
It is the simplicity of this game that makes it an all-time favorite. It does not require any complicated thinking, specially if you are a beginner with this game, you can just place your bet on your preferred numbers or combination of numbers and wait for that magic ball to make its miracle! Of course, there are several strategies and tactics that players use in order to maximize their chances of winning.
Online Roulette Versions
Roulette was initially invented in France in the 18th century. Since then, it passed through several versions to reach its today's common roulette. Nowadays, there are two main roulette versions. The "Single Zero" (0) wheel and the "Double Zero" (00) wheel. The Single Zero is the most common game worldwide, while the Double Zero is wide spread in the casinos in the US, Canada and the South America. The most classic roulette game is the European roulette with one zero, giving the player a higher advantage against the casinos, in comparison to the American roulette (00).
In online casinos you can find both options. You can simply choose what you prefer from the Game Selection of each casino. My recommendation is to go with what you know best from your previous experience.
Online Roulette Rules
Roulette has very simple and clear rules. If you try this classic for the first time, give it 2-3 exploratory spins, while betting the minimum, to understand its mentality. The same goes for the online roulette. First you place your bets, you wait for the ball to fall on a number, and you collect your winnings. There are several types of bets you can select:
- A single number. In this case, you need to place the chip in the center of the square.
- A "Split". Place your chip between two neighboring numbers of the board. This doubles your chances of winning, while cutting in half the value of the chip.
- "Street". Place your chip at the beginning of the horizontal line. This way, you include 3 numbers in your bet, increasing you winning range.
- "A Corner". Place your bet and the square between 4 different numbers. Now, you are winning if any of the 4 numbers is the lucky one.
- "Double Street". Place your chip on the line between 2 adjoining "Streets". Congratulations, now you win if any of the 6 numbers gets to be the lucky number of this round.
In addition to the options above, there is a whole different category of bets, known as the "Outside Bets". This category refers to betting not on a single number, or a group of numbers, but rather on the features of each number.
"Manque or Passe". If you choose the first one, you win if the ball falls in a number from 1-18. If you choose the Passe, you win if the number is from 19-36.
"Red or Black". That's clear and your chances are 50-50, besides the 0, or the 00, where the casino wins. And that's called the House Advantage.
"Even or Odd". The same as the previous options, you have 50-50 chances of winning, excluding the 0, and/or the 00, which is the House Advantage.
Online Casino Tips for Online Roulette
- If it's your first time you are playing this game, give it 3-4 wheel-spins betting the minimum, just to understand what the game is about.
- Pay attention to the minimum and the maximum bets each online table accepts.
- Don't overdo it. Always play on a budget.
- Try a combination of the types of bets. That definitely increasing the time you can play as well as your chances of winning.
- In order to find the best online casino for playing online roulette, read our reviews.
- Always remember, this is a game to have fun. As long as you stay on the safe side, let yourself free, enjoy the spin of the wheel, love or hate that tiny ball and start collecting your winnings from the online board!!!

Second album of those swedish Crust-Death maniacs. For fans of VOMITORY, FACEBREAKER, GRAVE, DAWN OF DECAY, CENTINEX and DEATH BREATH.
Zombified starded as a two man project of P.Myrén and P.Fransson in winter 2006. After some beers and a three song demo they decided to record a full album.
They got in contact with the session members "Von Pest" and M.Askinen and with them they gave birth to the first album 'Zombified Slaughtermachine'.
After the release, M.Fiebig and R.Karlsson joined the band on drums and vocals and ZOMBIFIED didn´t waste any time and created a new album called "Carnage Slaughter And Death".
After the recording M.Fiebig decided to leave the band and a new drummer was found in J.Johansson.
Now they got signed to German label Cyclone Empire and although the second album 'Carnage Slaughter And Death' isn´t released yet, the boys have already started writing new songs for the next album.

All things come to an end. Good, bad and indifferent. This blog has morphed from an outpouring of grief onto a creative journey that has will continue, but not here.
It's been many months since I posted, and seven years to the day since that simple twist of fate changed my life completely.
I've integrated my Katypoetess alter ego into Katy Megan Hughes. Me.
My first poetry collection is still available on Amazon Kindle Store under Katypoetess.
But my new work is under my real name, and part of a real life not a virtual one. You can find me on Twitter, Facebook or Write out Loud.
In November, I will decide whether to close this blog down completely.
Or I might re-launch my new poetic identity.
Until then…..thank you to all my voyeurs, which include you.

Keith Richards has been on a roll.
Over the course of promotion for his new solo album Crosseyed Heart, Richards has managed to poke fun at Black Sabbath, Metallica, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and all of hip hop.
In a new interview with NME Richards throws more bad blood, this time on Led Zeppelin and The Who.
Related: Keith Richards Announces Plans for a New Rolling Stones Album
"I love Jimmy Page, but as a band, no," said Richards on the subject of Led Zeppelin. "With John Bonham thundering down the highway in an uncontrolled 18-wheeler … He had cornered the market there. Jimmy is a brilliant player. But I always felt there was something a little hollow about it, you know?"
Richards refers to The Who's lead singer Roger Daltrey as "all flash." Keith Moon gets more of a pass, but not by much.
"[Moon] could play to [Pete Townshend] like nobody else in the world. But if somebody threw him into a session with somebody else, it was a disaster. There's nothing wrong with that; sometimes you've got that one paintbrush, and you rock it."

Aston Villa vs Tottenham Hotspur 11/02/2014 Preview, Odds and Predictions
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa
Sunday 2nd November 2014 16:00(GMT)
The Line: Aston Villa 3/1 Draw 5/2 Tottenham Hotspur 11/10 See the Latest Odds
TV: Sky Sports; NBC Sports
The second game in the Premier League on Sunday will see two teams that are strugglng for form come head to head. Tottenham have lost two ina row in the league losing to Manchester City two weeks agobefore throwing away a 1-0 lead against Newcastle last weekend. The second loss will have hurt Pochettinos side deeply as a win there , in a game they were expected to win would have left them in seventh inthe table with a chance to go ashigh as third with a win against Villa. Eric Lamela and Harry Kane have both been finding the nets in the smaller competitions of late but have yet to find the net in the Premier League. Christian Erickson and Roberto Soldado both playedextremely well in Manchester but once fazio seen red then Spurs capitulated. As a wholeTottenham just dont seem to have the balance to put two performances back to back and its possible the Europa league is a distraction that the team could do without.
While Aston Villa have lost five in a row in the league it's amazing that the team has not managed a solitary goal in those five games especially considering the return o Christian Benteke and the pace of Agbonlahor and Weimann on the wings. The Roy Keane experiment got off to a great start with Keane seemingly instrumental as an assistant to Paul Lambert in an early season run that seenVilla as high as secondin the league table. But a tough run of fixtures Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Everton left Villa with four losses andthen an away game at QPR last Monday compounded their misery. I do think this is a decent Aston Villa team though and at home in Villa park against a flaky Tottenham team I am considering going all in on a Villa win.
USA TODAY Sports
My thinking on this game is simple, Aston Villa are much better than their results indicate. They have had absoluely noluck in the last five games and have a strikerforce that is due some luck and improvement. Benteke will be getting better with each game and I fully expect the big belgian to cause all sorts of problems for Spurs tomorrow. Villa may not win this one outright but I think they at least cover the handicap and I am going to have a little bet on them causing the upset as a home underdog.

Political and public support for the abolition of the death penalty grew throughout Queensland during the early 1900s. This was due to various reasons, including the controversial executions of convicted murderers Patrick Kenniff (1903) and Arthur Ross (1909) - both of whom had strong public sympathy - and the rising strength of socialist elements within the Queensland Labor Party. The abolition of capital punishment had official Labor Party support from 1910, and after the party won power in 1915 it introduced an abolition Bill.
Pro-abolition cartoons, Queensland (click to enlarge images)
The main arguments put forward against capital punishment at this time were:
- Religious: Prisoners would be deprived of their full time for repentance.
- Medical: Criminals sometimes had 'mental disease'.
- Utilitarian: Hanging failed to act as a deterrent.
- Legal: Sentences were irrevocable even though mistakes had been made in the past.
- Moral: The punishment did not fit the case nor effect the reformation of the offender.
The arguments for retaining it included:
- The government had more pressing concerns at that time (World War 1)
- Capital punishment was a deterrent to crime.
- The absence of the death penalty would result in the rise of 'lynch law'.
Although the Bill failed, all death sentences after this time were commuted. Overall, there were 118 commuted death sentences during the Boggo Road era. In 1922 the Labor-controlled parliament successfully passed a Bill abolishing capital punishment, by a vote of thirty-three to thirty. Queensland had become the first part of the British Empire to abolish the death sentence, but the event passed without much fanfare in the press.

Santa Clara County Sheriff deputies are asking for the community's help in locating elderly Cupertino resident Ba Minh Lu.
Lu went for a walk from his Cupertino residence on Oct. 13 around 11 a.m. and has not returned home. At approximately 2:30 p.m., the sheriff's office was notified of his disappearance and immediately started searching for him.
Lu is described as a 70-year-old Vietnamese adult male, standing 5-feet-1-inch tall and weighing 125 pounds. He was last seen wearing a dark hat, dark shirt, dark shorts, blue and white tennis shoes and he had a long walking stick with him, according to the sheriff's office.
Lu suffers from early stages of dementia. He typically goes on a daily walk around the neighborhood of his Loree Avenue home with his wife. However on Sunday he left the residence alone as she got into the shower. He does not have a cell phone and does not carry cash.
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue team aided in searching for Lu by using tracking dogs. They were unsuccessful in locating him. The team also conducted a reverse 9-1-1 call to all the residents in the area of Lu's home.
Anyone with any information regarding Lu's whereabouts is asked to call the sheriff's office at 408.299.2311 or your local law enforcement agency. Residents are also asked to follow the sheriff's office on Twitter @SCCOSHERIFF for continuous updates.

Sharing the pain brings joy of ultimate gain
Our correspondent talks to Matthew Pinsent and his wife to discover what it takes to win your fourth title at the Games
IT WAS a unique honour. Twenty-four hours after being overcome by tears as he collected his fourth successive Olympic gold medal, Matthew Pinsent found himself presenting medals to fellow champion rowers at the Games. Never in the 108-year history of the Olympics has such a distinction been granted and it reflected both the British rower's exalted status in his sport and his role as a member of the IOC, who preside over such ceremonies.
Yesterday, in an exclusive interview with The Times, Pinsent and his wife, Dee, spoke of their emotions after such a tense year of injury and illness for Great Britain's coxless four. Pinsent was weeping after the crew crossed the line only 0.08sec ahead of Canada. "I just couldn't cope with what…

NEW YORK, Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This report on the global hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) decontamination systems market provides analysis for the period from 2014 to 2024, wherein 2015 is the base year and the years from 2016 to 2024 are the forecast period. Data for 2014 has been included as historical information. The report covers all the prevalent trends and technologies playing a major role in the growth of the HPV decontamination systems market over the forecast period. It also highlights various drivers, restraints, and opportunities expected to influence the market's growth during this period. The study provides a holistic perspective on the market throughout the above forecast period in terms of revenue estimates (in US$ Mn) across different geographies, which include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East & Africa (MEA), and Latin America (LATAM).
HPV is well recognized as a bio-decontamination agent due to its broad biological efficacy and can quickly deactivate microorganisms much more effectively than traditional decontamination methods such as formaldehyde. HPV has been tested on many individual microorganisms and classes of organisms successfully and has excellent material compatibility. HPV technology enables clients to leave computer equipment or any other devices in the room during the bio-decontamination process, unlike with other disinfection regimes, which can cause equipment damage. HPV decontamination systems operate at room temperature with relative humidity, without the need for significantly reduced humidity, unlike with traditional systems. Europe dominates the HPV decontamination systems market globally owing to the major infection outbreaks such as Ebola in 2014 and growing technological advancements in this region.
This research report provides in-depth analysis of the global HPV decontamination systems market on the basis of applications, which comprises incubators, autoclaves/cage washers, isolators, and rooms/facilities.
In terms of geography, the report segments the global HPV decontamination systems market into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa (MEA), and Latin America; the regions are further analyzed in terms of revenue generation. The report also provides a cross-sectional analysis of the global HPV decontamination systems market in terms of estimates and forecasts for all segments across different geographic regions.
The report includes competitive profiling of the major players engaged in the development of HPV decontamination systems. The major business strategies adopted by these players, their market positioning, and recent developments have been identified in the research report. The report also provides market positioning analysis of major players in the HPV decontamination systems market based on their 2015 revenues. Some of the major players profiled in the report include Bioquell, plc, Steris Corporation, Getinge Group, Panasonic Biomedical Sales Europe BV, Fedegari Autoclavi SpA, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., Howorth Air Technology, SKAN AG, MBRAUN, Sterilucent, Inc., and Labotal Scientific Equipment (1997) Ltd.

Sun Mountain 3.5 LS Golf Bag Review
Not Light on Features
By David Theoret
Sun Mountain recently unveiled a new line of carry golf bags that includes the 3.5 (as in net weight of 3.5 lbs.) LS stand bag. The 3.5 LS is designed to be a step up from the company's lightest bag - the 2Five - and offers quite a few more features.
The 3.5 LS is built from a lightweight nylon fabric, with a high-strength-to-weight plastic. The extra pound comes from a thicker strap, a more cushioned "Air-Flow" hip pad and an additional three pockets. When it comes to carry bags, there is usually a trade-off ratio between weight and features; the lighter the bag, the less features you get. The 3.5 LS breaks this stereotype. In all, the 3.5 LS has seven pockets, including a water-resistant velour-lined valuables pocket, a full-length apparel pocket and a hydration (aka water bottle) pouch. The extra pockets come in handy for inclement weather gear and an extra sleeve or two of balls for long golf trips.
Sun Mountain's X-Strap System makes the bag easy to get on and off the shoulders and works just as well when used as a single strap for short jaunts. The carry straps are made with thick, high-density foam contoured to be wider at the top of the shoulder for more carrying comfort, and the new plastic strap guide provides effortless interaction between the two straps.
The 3.5 Ls's stand is top mounted and features a patented roller bottom leg mechanism with highly durable carbon fiber legs that flip up and down effortlessly without any wavering or locking up. It's the most stable stand bag I've ever owned.
The top of the 3.5 LS is 9" wide and is divided into four full-length compartments. Fourteen clubs fit easily, even if the putter has an oversized grip. The grab handles at the top and bottom of the bag make it easy to load and unload. Rounding out the feature list is an umbrella holder, a matching rainhood for those less than perfect days, a pen holder and towel loop.
I recently took the 3.5 LS on a whirlwind golf trip to Lake Oconee, GA, Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach, SC and Pinehurst, NC. Twenty-two golf courses in 15 days. The bad performed admirably in all kinds of weather conditions. It's one of the lightest, high-quality golf bags on the market today and is loaded with all of the features you'll ever need. It certainly gets the job done and looks good doing it!
The 3.5 LS bag from Sun Mountain is available in seven color options: Black, Black/Flash, Black/White/Red, Black/Cobalt/White, Gunmetal/Black/Yellow, Orange/White/Black and Navy/White/Red. Suggested retail price is $229.99. For more information on the Sun Mountain 3.5 LS stand bag, you can visit them online at

David Theoret has been in the golf and golf travel industry for over 10 years, primarily selling online advertising. For the past seven years, he has also been a golf writer, reviewing golf courses, resorts, destinations, equipment, golf apparel, and training aids - the latter of which never seems to help. David's articles and reviews have been posted on many golf travel and equipment websites.
Growing up in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, it was naturally assumed he would play hockey. Beginning at the age of 3 and continuing into his late 30's, he did just that. However, after one too many pucks to the head, he realized that golf was a lot easier on the body (whoever said hockey players were slow) and took the game up.
After moving to Florida and accepting a position with TravelGolf Media (now part of GolfNow) his love for the game grew exponentially. Most Saturdays you will find him on a course somewhere in Florida or on the practice range reinforcing his bad habits. David plays to a 10 handicap - unless there is money involved in which case it goes considerably higher. He currently resides in Lakeland, FL with his wife Belinda and their two "kids", Madyson and Molly.

[3D Rendering]
[3ds max 6]
[3D Rendering]
Improved models and boosts to both preview and rendering efficiency and quality – but this latest version still feels like a missed opportunity.
Producing realistic people is the most difficult task for traditional artists to achieve and it's the same for today's 3D artists. To help get their geometry right, traditional artists use a posable wooden mannequin as a model and this was the inspiration for Larry Weinberg, Poser's original developer, back in 1995. In the decade since that first crude release, Poser has changed out of all recognition. In particular its aim is no longer simply to help visualize a pose; it's job now is to produce the end result itself, either as a rendered image or animation, or as a 3D model for export. This means that realism is crucial to the success of Poser and each new release has seen major leaps forward. So does Poser 6 keep up the tradition?
The most obvious change when you load up the new version is the new default customizable model. Don has done his duty and been replaced by James while Judy, the default female model, has been replaced by Jessi. The leap in realism involved is less than that between version 4 and 5 but it's still a big improvement – if you can get over the similarities to Victoria Adams and Michael Owen! Perhaps the biggest change is in terms of the default clothes with the all-white Raelian cult look replaced by much more realistic - if slightly fantasized - bulging jeans and long-sleeved top based on scanned texture maps of real clothes.
So looking around the interface what else is new? Version 5 raised expectations with its introduction of no less than six new "rooms" – Material, Face, Hair, Cloth, Setup and Content - but the changes in version 6 are much more limited. In fact there are no new rooms at all, though the Material room has at least been reworked with a new Simple tab designed to protect users from the underlying node-based shader system (still available via the Advanced tab). "Simple" is a relative term however – Curious Labs manages to confuse matters by defaulting to showing the material used for James' gums (!) and by including a column of seemingly unrelated and mysteriously intimidating buttons - Set up Shadow Catcher, Set up Ambient Occlusion, IBL and so on - that for some unfathomable reason have been called " wacros"!
The Material Room has been given a makeover.
Much more successful is the reworking of the main Document Window. Now the main Preview window where the central figure is posed can be set to display the current Production Frame while new OpenGL hardware acceleration for systems with supporting graphics cards offers the option of real-time texture, lighting and shadow updating. The biggest change is the introduction of a new Render tab. Hit the Render command, or the new Render Area option, and the results appear in this new tab. Renders are automatically saved to a stack so that you can retrieve earlier renders (up to 10 by default) and, using the Render Wipe slider at the bottom of the screen, quickly compare render setting variations. To speed the rendering process you can also choose to re-use textures and shadow maps though this has to be done manually.
The rendering power on offer with Poser 6 has also been enhanced. To begin with the Render Settings dialog has been redesigned with tabs for each of the four main render engines including the new OpenGL enhanced Preview and the excellent and previously semi-detached Sketch Designer for producing artistic interpretations of your scenes. For the main FireFly rendering engine there's also a new Auto Settings tab that is designed to make it simple to trade off quality against processing time without getting into the complexities of ray bounces and bucket size. It's certainly an improvement but a simple slider would have been easier still. Other changes include enhanced control over polygon smoothing and new support for soft raytraced shadows. And now you can choose to output just shadows which boosts post-production flexibility and efficiency - though multi-pass PSD support would have boosted it further.
Surprisingly the biggest improvements in Poser 6's rendering quality aren't managed in the Render Settings dialog. Instead they are light-based factors that are most easily set using those bizarre " wacros" in the Material room (I wonder if Curious Labs has ever heard of usability testing). Select a Light and click on the Set Up Ambient Occlusion wacro and Poser 6 automatically lowers the level of ambient light when objects are close together or lying on a surface – just as happens in the real world. Even more impressive are the results if you click on the IBL wacro (standing for "Image Based Lighting") which lets you choose a bitmap to act as a 360 light source (Poser 6 provides a handful of bitmaps designed for the purpose). Poser 6's Ambient Occlusion and Image Based Lighting might sound awkward – and they are – but they do take the level of realism to a new level.
Poser 6 offers improved rendering efficiency and realism.
Unfortunately there are serious downsides. The first is the massively increased rendering time which is a serious disincentive to switching the new effects on. The second is the output which, although much improved, still ultimately looks computer-generated and more computer game than Hollywood movie. The third, and perhaps most important, is that the benefits are limited to images and animations rendered from within Poser and, although you can load external props, this just isn't the right environment to set up a complete 3D scene. Increasingly users are tending to host their Poser content in other 3D applications such as Carrara 4 Pro, Vue 5 Esprit or even Curious Labs' own Shade 7 in which case the main advances of Poser 6 are immediately lost.
As an upgrade Poser 6 is disappointing, especially when compared to the across-the-board improvements seen in 5. On the other hand, Poser has built up some impressive power over the last ten years – and the latest models are a definite advance. More to the point, unless you're willing to dedicate your life to getting to grips with a professional character animation package, it's the only practical solution available - and, in 3D terms, at a very reasonable price. It's figure modeling for the rest of us.

Introduction to
Influencer: The Power to Change Anything
Douglas L. Finton, Managing Director
Vital Skills International, LC
Principal Associates of VitalSmarts
85% of organizational change efforts fail.
– Arthur D. Little
Big Point. The most important capacity we possess is the ability to influence behavior—that of ourselves or others.
And yet few of us have any systematic way of even thinking about this most precious capacity!
So, when it comes to our toughest influence challenges, we fail.
Most all of the Influencers we found were profoundly influenced by the work of Dr. Albert Bandura.
A vital behavior:
The Big Idea
Even with complex and long-standing problems, just a few vital behaviors can lead to enormous change.
Find the vital behaviors, and find a powerful leverage point for change.
Desired Result
Vital Behavior
Candid dialogue during the planning phase
On time project performance
Create and maintain a functional diverse workforce
Improve our ability to confront those who cross our personal boundaries
Improve how we disagree
Lasting and happy relationship
Slow down when you get near the lines!
High quality coloring
Get fit
Write down everything I eat
Don't look for influence strategies (such as creating public awareness)—just look for crucial moments and the behaviors you'd need during them.
(E.g., Diversity: when individual boundaries are crossed, is the person able to speak candidly and respectfully to the offender about the boundary, and reach a new agreement around respect?)
Not the End
To achieve such amazing success, Influencers used every aspect of the Influence Model.
We live in a quick fix world looking for "silver bullet" answers to complex influence problems.
Your world is perfectly organized to create the behavior you're currently experiencing.
Influencers succeed where the rest of us fail because they "over determine" success.
They marshal a critical mass of all Six Sources of Influence to make change inevitable.
The influence of the pleasure or pain of the behavior itself.
Many Vital Behaviors are boring, frightening, uncomfortable or even painful and many wrong behaviors feel pretty good—for a while.
We spend most of our lives morally disengaged… we are unconscious of the moral and human implications of our choices.
As a result…
The influence of skill.
Many Vital Behaviors are far more physically or emotionally challenging than we realize.
So we grossly under-invest in building skills.
The influence of other people – through modeling, praise, helping, and enabling.
Small changes in your social system can lead to big changes in behavior—Add a friend. Throw in some encouragement. Build a little accountability. And change happens.
You don't need to have relationships with everyone you're trying to influence.
You just need to gain influence with those who do.
Sources 3 and 4—The Promise
The influence of costs, incentives, and accountability.
Rewards, incentives, or costs encourage the wrong behaviors or discourage the right ones.
In Broward County, Florida, an elderly person facing a competency hearing was evaluated by three court-appointed experts and defended by a court-appointed attorney.
The psychiatrists were paid more when they judged someone to be incapacitated than when they judged them to be competent ($325 versus $125).
What do you think happened?
Of598 competency proceedings in the year, 570 ended with a verdict of incompetence.
Source: Kerns, 1995
The influence of space, data, cues, tools, processes, and other environmental factors.
We are blind to the incessant and powerful force the environment exerts on our own and others' behavior.
What's available.
How close it is.
Cues that tell you how much you're eating.
