Prime World has been quite successful over the last few weeks, from a series of popular closed betas to a showing at E3. It's a unique combination of MOBA and MMORPG, created by the same people as Heroes of Might and Magic V, so it'll be interesting enough to check out if nothing else. You won't need to wait long. There's an open beta starting this weekend and all it takes to join is a quick sign-up on their official website.
The War Z was pretty unsuccessful critically, but it got a lot of sales. That was until Steam removed it from their service and stopped people spending their hard-earned cash on something that was in no way as described. Then the people behind the film World War Z decided that perhaps the names were a little too similar and demanded that The War Z became something else.
Today that new name has been announced, and it's not nearly as easy to slip off the tongue as the original name. If nothing else, Infestation: Survivor Stories will give the developers a new chance to trick people into buying the same game all over again.
Another summer and another major update for Dungeons & Dragons Online. Turbine Games has revealed the features of Standard and Collector's Editions of the Shadowfell Conspiracy.

Read on for a comparison of the Standard Edition and Collector's Edition of DDO Shadowfell Conspiracy.

The Blessing and Curse of Longevity: Today's Uncomfortable Boomer Reality | AgentENews by John Terry
As financial professionals, if we've heard it once, we've heard it a thousand times: Boomers are turning 65 at the rate of 10,000 a day and will continue to do so through 2030. But as I talk with independent producers across the country, the reality of this opportunity really hasn't sunk in. And for those who it has, they are still struggling with how to best "get their heads" around this topic and prosper. 78,000,000 baby boomers are about to enter a new chapter in their lives, and with that, they are awakening to the harsh reality that they are unprepared for what could be the next third of their life.
Ponce de Leon searched in vain for the fountain of youth, but for today's boomers (of which I'm a part), it's almost like we've tapped into the proverbial fountain of youth thanks to advances in medical care. We survive what used to kill us. Medical advances are allowing boomers to survive heart attacks, strokes and cancer (of which I'm a survivor) in record numbers. We may be approaching 65 scared and tattered, but we are approaching 65 alive. And the prospect of living 20 to25 years or more in retirement is our new reality and potential nightmare.

Ureni was one of those NPCs where I felt the core lines were fine, but like with Valgus, the grammar was designed for a British accent and didn't match the voice. So basically what I needed to do is make the language more American, using contractions like can't and won't instead of cannot and will not.
Combined with some other edits here and there, Ureni's dialogue should flow more smoothly, despite the fact that nothing about her has really changed. The best part is I didn't have to change actors – Adoxographist was willing to rework both her roles and for that she wins the game. What game? The game of life.

iMedicalApps.com Physicians Review Mobile Medical Technology Apps
iMedicalApps provides honest reviews of all the latest medical apps for healthcare professionals, patients and analysts interested in mobile technology. Their physician editors lead a team of physicians, allied health professionals, medical trainees, and mHealth analysts in providing reviews, research, and commentary of mobile medical technology. Their publication is heavily based on our their experiences in the hospital and clinic setting.
Their work has been recognized as experts in mobile health by the New York Times, Wired Magazine, Slate Magazine, American Medical News, and many other reputable media outlets. They have also been in various medical journals, such as the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the Journal of Surgical Oncology, the Journal of Surgical Radiology, and others.
Sponsored Content:
Unlike other medical review and mHealth sites, the iMedicalApps Editors do not make medical apps and institute strict conflict-of-interest policies, enabling us to provide an unbiased view of mobile medical technology.
Why Critical Reviews Are A Must for Medical Mobile Tech:
Shannon O'Hern, McNamara Emergency Medicine Resident (@shannonomac) writes a blog and is also one of the reviwers on iMedicalApps. She shares on her post "A Critical Eye on Mobile Technology in Medicine" why there is a need for such a website, that reviews are supposed to be honest and critical, and how such apps can help new and experienced medical professionals and patients learn more about healthcare:
"So why do I think it's worthwhile to review apps? As medical education embraces new technology, I think it's essential for us to look at new resources like mobile apps with the same critical eye that we use for evaluating traditional resources like medical textbooks and peer reviewed publications. At the same time, this is a fantastic opportunity to experiment with new ways to use technology in teaching, independent learning, and clinical practice.
Sponsored Content:
Can a medical apps make us better doctors? CPR Game is a great example of using technology to explore new ways of learning. This serious game simulates a cardiac arrest scenario and teaches resuscitation skills by encouraging players to identify and preform critical actions in a timely manner to save their patient. I found that playing this game helped me remember my resuscitation ABCs and keep a level head when working on medical codes. I look forward to seeing more fun, interactive teaching tools like this in medical education.
On the other hand, I reviewed some apps that I wouldn't recommend to other physicians. Coags Uncomplicated seemed like a great free educational app at first glance, but in the end turned out to have a hidden agenda – it was created by a drug company to sell more drugs. I called out Emergency Medicine iQ, a board review app, for having inaccurate references and incorrect explanations. I also question the role of some apps in clinical practice – is it safe to use an app with an automated ECG algorithm? I don't think so." Read the full article here.Clearly there is a great need for this resource as "not all apps are created equal". Be sure to read these professional reviews first!

New €6.5 Million Financing Received by Intesa Sanpaolo to Support EPS Growth
27 Oct, 2016, 07:30 BST
PARIS and MILAN, Oct. 27, 2016
- New credit lines of €6.5 million approved by Intesa Sanpaolo, now the EPS house bank
- Thanks to backlog of orders and pipeline acceleration, in less than two months, EPS has raised in aggregate new banking facilities of €9 million with Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredit to support growth and innovation
/PRNewswire/ -- Electro Power Systems S.A ("EPS" or the "Group"), a technology pioneer in clean-energy storage solutions, has entered – through the Group companies – into an agreement for €6.5 million of new committed credit lines with Intesa Sanpaolo and its subsidiaries to support future growth.
The new financing is structured in two credit lines intended to support, respectively, research and working capital:
- €3.5 million 5-year long-term credit line, by Mediocredito Italiano, a subsidiary of Intesa Sanpaolo, primarily dedicated to continuing EPS's research and development activities on the HyESS (Hybrid Energy Storage System) project, which is essential to maintain the technological competitive advantage gained in over 10 years of collaboration with the Polytechnic of Turin and Milan; and
- €3 million short-term credit line to provide additional working capital and to boost the pipeline's projects, primarily focused on Africa and Asia, where EPS hybrid solutions have already been shown to dramatically reduce energy costs thanks to the Group's innovative and proprietary technology.
Together with the credit lines already granted by Unicredit, announced in the 2016 Half-Year Financial Report, since September 2016 the Group has raised financing for growth and innovation totalling €9 million, of which €5.5 million are medium-long term credit lines with an average spread of 3.68%.
Carlalberto Guglielminotti, CEO of Electro Power Systems
"This agreement confirms that an Italian technology can, in less than three years after starting from what was little more than a laboratory, establish itself as a global player in energy storage, one of the greatest megatrends in history, and gain the confidence of large international banks to support its growth's acceleration."
Paolo Bonetti, CFO of Electro Power Systems
"Securing €9 millions of new financing in less than two months strengthens the financial position and the solidity of EPS for our customers and partners, increases our commitment to invest in research and innovation and, above all, confirms the sustainability of organic growth over the long term."

Reviewed By barbara h (Tucson, AZ) Reviewed for a 2009 Scion xD —6/3/2009 12:15 PM
My husband installed this in my 2009 Scion xD automatic in less than an hour. Acceleration has improved, seems to have a bit more oomph in 2nd gear. I haven't run a full tank of gas thru the car since the install, so I can't say yet about gas mileage improvement, but it seems to be taking longer than usual to run thru a tank of gas, so my guess is there will be some improvement there as well. We use K & N products in our vehicles, and will continue to do so as long as we're driving.

Problem: What problem is this initiative trying to address?Essential oils sold in the market had a purity level about 70% for a long time. While the quality of essential oils is good if the purity level reaches 87%. However, the essential oils products in Gunung Condong has a purity level under the market standard, that is 60%. Production wastes are also not optimally managed yet, either solid waste or liquid waste. In addition, the production of essential oils in Gunung Condong is only done at the time of product demand. It makes the demand cannot be properly continued.
Solution Summary: What is the proposed solution? What do you see as its most promising aspects for creating shared value?The form of implementation of SDG's program which will be applied in this project is aimed at the production of essential oils as the original product of Gunung Condong, Purworejo, Central Java through the concept of CP. CP will involve 4 elements of approach: Technology: as an effort to improve the quality and quantity of essential oils products and to manage the generated waste. Social as an effort to increase community participation in the production of essential oils. The basic concept on offer is from, by and for the community. Economy, as an effort to increase the market values and market opportunities of essential oils. Thus, the benefits will be more felt by the surrounding community, even it can further help to increase the original revenue of Purworejo, Central Java. Environment: as an effort to formulate waste management system in accordance with the characteristics of generated waste. This aspect will be collaborated with the aspects of the technology as described
Impact: What is the impact of the work to date? Specify both the social and the environmental impact of your work1. Implementing of SDG's program in the production of essential oils in Gunung Condong through technological, social, economical and environmental approach using cleaner production concept. 2. Increasing the quality (level) of essential oil products as a typical product of Gunung Condong in a sustainable manner, from under 70% to 87% (Indonesia National Standardization, 2016). 3. Increasing the quantity of essential oil production from 20 kg/ton cloves 60 kg/ton cloves 4. The enhancement both quality and quantity of cloves essential oil able to increase the market value of the product, so that the welfare of the community will increase 5. Increasing the welfare of local communities through the development of local products by involving the participation of the communities in the implementation of planning, assessment, implementation and evaluation of the program in sustainable manner.
Financial sustainability plan: How is this initiative financially supported? How will you ensure its financial sustainability long-term?Funding is derived from the profits of essential oil production that has been underway. However, with revenue from Nestle can increase production capacity. we plan to establish an institution that can improve rural development. Lembaga Ekonomi Masyarakat Sejahtera (Prosperous Economic Society), abbreviated as LEM-Sejahtera, means to bind all of villagers from various backgrounds (livelihood, group, ethnic, religion, and political views) and program synergies from all institutions conducting development activities in village level. The LEM-Sejahtera farmer institution is a village economic institution formed from, by, and for rural communities with a local wisdom approach, with all villagers in collecting self-help power to utilize the available resources to improve the welfare.
Unique value proposition: What makes your initiative innovative? How does your project differ from other organizations working in the same field?Green engineering concept with cleaner production approach is a concept made for : 1. Minimize the emission from the resources 2. Human health protection 3. Environment sustainability protection This concept become unique because it planned, built, and implemented by involving local society in GunungCondong. By using this concept hopefully can give some effective and efficient improvement since it project planned and developed then. This project emphasize the concept of from, by & to village
Founding story: Share a story about the "Aha!" moment that sparked the beginning of this initiative.Gunung Condong is able to produce abundant pure cloves every year. These products have been partly used as essential oils. but people cannot get the benefits of agricultural products either pure or processed product. Thus, it's necessary to evaluate quantity and quality of clove essential oil to increase the market value and welfare of society

Are you worried that your partner may be having an affair?
It is generally thought that affairs occur because there is a problem, real or perceived, within the relationship; there is bad communication or no communication between the partners within the relationship; or there is temptation – and then there is giving in to temptation.
Although I sometimes suspect that they just happen for reasons such as alcohol and a lowering of impulse control.
Signs of an Affair
Here are some signs to look for, which MAY indicate that your partner is cheating:
- a higher than normal credit card bill
- a partner working longer hours than normal
- odd or unexplained ATM withdrawals
- high mobile phone bills
- high home phone charges
- sudden change or improvement in appearance
- the deleting of all internet activity
- phone calls being made at all times of the day
- starting a new hobby suddenly
- starting arguments out of the blue as an excuse to leave the house.
This is not a definitive list, merely a few common signs.
What Should I Do?!
If you suspect that your partner is indeed cheating on you, it is first of all very important to know that your feelings of anger, any disturbance in sleep patterns, and feelings of being betrayed are all very normal; and that you will get through this.
Although dealing with infidelity is very difficult, it is not always a marital deal breaker; it can be worked through. Healing after infidelity is not a quick process; wounds take time to heal; so be patient with the process and yourself, and don't panic.
Remember that healing will not take a straight trajectory, it will be zigzagged or up and down. Ask questions of your spouse and expect answers.
Lastly, after asking the questions ask yourself: "Did that help?". If it didn't, then don't ask any more.

Defendants requested Plaintiffs to produce better copies of electronic documents and permit their expert to review original data. Plaintiffs, in response, sought production of source documents and an 'audit trail' for purposes of assessing the accuracy and validity of Defendants' electronic disclosures. The key data and the 'audit trail' document resides on databases maintained by a non-party. The non-party was not willing to undertake the massive task of production and concerned not to expose itself to liability by releasing confidential health information and potentially breaching federal or state privacy legislation.
The court held that the entire database is highly relevant in its entirety. It is a 'document' as including 'data and information in electronic form' under Rule 30.01(1)(a) of the Rules of Civil Procedure. It is also a 'document' in the "power, possession or control" of the Defendant under Rule 30.02. Rule 30.04 allowed for inspection of originals of documents and the taking of copies if desired.
In the case at bar, an obligation on Defendants to produce information in the subject database would mean that Defendants be required to request the non-party to do all things necessary to permit the Defendants to meet their obligations as a litigant, on the Plaintiff's rights of access to such information.
Defendants and the non-party provided redacted versions of the database information. The court required Defendants to show that their solution (in this case redaction of data of initials and birthdates) meet four criteria:
- produced data that was substantially the same as that which had been reviewed by the defendants' own experts;
- demonstrated forensic continuity in the data such that any issues about authenticity or accuracy could be readily answered;
- did not leave the data less meaningful or useful; and
- did not unduly delay production.
The court determined that Defendants' solution did not meet the criteria. In particular, Defendants' experts were working with complete set of data, which could be a prejudice to Plaintiffs. Disclosure of redacted information was ordered, following which any remaining data would be produced in complete form – the minimal invasion of privacy would have to yield to the imperative of justice.

A federal judge in Seattle has ordered Donald Trump's immigration ban, which bars immigration from seven Muslim majority nations, to be halted immediately.
The new US President signed an Executive Order prohibiting immigration and acceptance of refugees from these countries, but the ban has been called a 'Muslim ban' and challenged in court for imposing an illegal religious test on the process.
US District Judge James Robert in Seattle, appointed by George W. Bush in 2003, ruled in a case brought by the Attorneys General of Minnesota and Washington that the ban should be brought down.
The White House responded immediately, promising to fight the stay as they argue the rule is legal. But in the interim, major airlines have been told by federal officials to allow people who under the ban would have been stopped to board airlines and travel to the US.
Trump's immigration ban has been largely opposed, with protests erupting all over the country and numerous challenges in court. Trump continues to defend the ban, claiming it is necessary to stop terrorists from entering the USA.

Andrew and Anna have been here... and they are a delight.
(Of course, it wouldn't be relaxing if they weren't a delight.)
They got here at 8 this morning and immediately wanted to eat lunch - since they knew what was for lunch.
Finally at 10:30 I let them have lunch....
... while they watched a cute show I'd never known about...
It's a delightful show on PBS.
At noon Anna took a nap up in Laura's room...
She didn't want to sleep in the bed,
well, when she could sleep there!
Downstairs her brother watched some "Wild Kratts"...
That's his favorite show.
And he likes to stretch out his clothes while he watches TV...
That looks comfortably snug, huh?
Often when I have them I take them to McDonald's.
Today we just stayed here - cozy.
And tonight their parents and sister are coming for a pizza supper.
And you know who else is coming?
I took that picture Saturday night
when she was in my arms
(where I like her to be).

This election has been known for its unique hostility and unprecedented style of commencement, the current presidential election is, uniformly agreed upon, as one of the most divisive political events of our time. The name Donald Trump conjures images of walls, immigration, and curt decisive statements. However, a much-overlooked issue when facing the behemoth that is Donald Trump is the environment.
Before drawbridges are pulled up and guards raised, it would be very appreciated if an open mind was kept while reading this blog. I am not trying to write any sort of Pro-Hillary or Anti-Trump propaganda, but rather, address an issue many of us are directly involved in.
Anyway, back to the wall.
Unsurprisingly, animals do not have much of a concept of political boundaries or international affairs. When choosing their habitats they do not much care for whether their hunting territory is in Mexico or United States. By creating physical boundaries, we break up ecosystems with potentially devastating consequences.
For example, the Black bear that lives primarily in Texas relies on mating with their cousins in Mexico. With the new wall that trump has estimated to be somewhere between 30-60 feet high and made of pure concrete, it is certainly unlikely that the black bears of the United States and the bears in Mexico will be able to find any way around to continue mating.
As well as the direct consequences a wall like this could have on the environment, there are many other indirect ramifications this may have. Some of these include the accidental destruction of habitats by redirection of watershed leading to flooding as well as psychological damages to the animals living in the area. In a BBC article written by Jonathan Sullivan on the topic, he tells a brief anecdote about the death of thousands of antelopes in the 1880s due to the construction of railroads. The antelopes were unable to cross the tracks and, as a result, more than 10,000 antelopes died. To think that something as small as a railroad track can kill thousands of animals it is hard to imagine the result of a 2,000-mile wall.
To conclude I believe decisions like the decision to build the Great Wall of Trump should not be taken lightly, and every outcome must be investigated. This possible repercussion is one that I do not believe has been given proper consideration, especially due to the fact that I had not heard of it until I typed science into the BBC website and it came up as a minor article. So next time you hear mention of the "the wall" think of all the animals it affects.

Pete Stuart is shown the unsettling implications of the domination the social networking business has come to hold over our personal lives.
Catfish promises a very original, and slightly suspicious, combination of allegedly real footage and intensely dramatic narrative. It begins as what might be described as "romantic comedy meets video-diary", yet quickly unfolds into a compelling examination of the monsters under the bed in the technological age.
The story begins with the making of a documentary surrounding Nev (Yaniv Schulman)'s relationship with eight year old girl-prodigy Abby who paints his published photos. After becoming integrated into the girl's social community on Facebook, Nev develops an online romantic interest in Megan, Abby's older sister. The romance is endearing, and intimately speaks to the awkward personal interactions that have emerged in our modern online culture. Nev's relationship with Megan is naïve yet colourful, and, like the narrative of the film, is fuelled by website posts, status updates and messages.
The film's tone changes abruptly as the first act of this reality theatre comes to an end. Romantic interest becomes paranoid intrigue and curiosity when the very existence of Nev's online girlfriend is suddenly questioned.
Without revealing too much, the film's eventual climax is powerful, disturbing and surprising (if a little overdrawn). The film might fail with many viewers because of its tendency to switch abruptly from comedy to psychological thriller to heart-breaking social documentation. But then it's drawn from reality, and we all know that the events of our own lives rarely fit into familiar and clear-cut genres.
Who should watch this?
Anyone who wants a reality check on social networking.
The best bit:
Its innovative take on modern culture, and the exciting story.
Main criticism:
The switching between moods.

Additive technology to eliminate bio-fouling in membranes; e.g., desalinization
Background One of the major roadblocks to widespread use of membranes for water purification is membrane fouling. Fouling occurs when certain impurities in water are deposited on the surface of a membrane or in its internal pore structure. This deposition leads to a dramatic reduction in water flux, which increases the operating costs and decreases membrane lifetime. Therefore, new membrane materials are needed to help reduce foulant adhesion. Most studies have focused increasing membrane hydrophilicity as a method to eliminate fouling, as foulants are mostly organic compounds that have a high binding affinity with hydrophobic surfaces.
Invention Description Inventors at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a novel deposition technique to coat polydopamine, a highly hydrophilic polymer, onto the surface of commercial reverse osmosis and ultra-filtration membranes. The investigators have shown that polydopamine increases the surface hydrophilicity of the membranes, which leads to a reduction in fouling. This fouling reduction results in higher membrane fluxes when filtering oil-water emulsions.
One-step, simple modification Process can be performed on already formed membrane modules. Lab results have shown an increase in membrane flux up to 35% in produced oil water. Process is not specific to membrane chemistry; provides ability to modify any membrane, regardless of base membrane material. Polydopamine can deposit on virtually any surface with which it comes into contact. Increases the lifetime of a given membrane module by reducing fouling of the membrane surface Improved hydrophilicity (high angle of contact)
Ensures that delamination will not occur for the coating layers currently used in membranes
Market Potential/Applications Polydopamine, a hydrophilic, neutrally-charged polymer, can deposit on virtually any surface with which it comes into contact. Therefore, it has wide potential to be used as an effective anti-fouling coating layer in many membrane water purification applications
Polydopamine's structure is also of interest in oxidative (alkaline) environments, where it can be used as an "intermediate" layer between a hydrophobic membrane and a hydrophilic coating. The hydrophilic layer will show improved adhesion to the membrane support, allowing long-term membrane operation.

Hands-On: Casio G'zOne Android Phone
Article Comments 4
Jan 6, 2011, 12:44 AM by Philip Berne
Phone Scoop managed to spot and handle an unannounced rugged Android phone for Verizon at a CES event tonight. Although the phone carries Verizon, Casio, and G'zOne branding, the final marketing name is not known. A phone that seems to match this one was recently approved by the FCC with the internal model number C771. Read on for our hands-on impressions.
AD article continues below...
Casio G'zOne Android Phone
At the Nuance Communications booth at the Pepcom Digital Experience event in Las Vegas, we found an unannounced touchscreen phone with distinct Verizon Wireless and Casio G'zOne branding. On the front, beneath the touchscreen panel, the phone has the familiar standard Android buttons: Menu, Home, Back, Search. There isn't much that we learned from the Nuance representatives, and Verizon Wireless has yet to announce this device, but from handling the body we did manage to form some impressions and make some guesses about the hardware.
The first question is whether this will be a waterproof device, like all of the previous G'zOne feature phones on Verizon Wireless. Motorola recently released a waterproof Android phone on T-Mobile, the Motorola Defy, so this wouldn't be the first waterproof Android on the market. The phone seems to be rugged enough to fit the normal G'zOne profile, though it's tough to say if the exposed speaker grills and tight fitting port covers are enough to resist immersion, let alone meet the military specification for which other G'zOne phones qualify.
One clue might be the battery cover around back. Rather than supplying a peel off cover, the unnamed G'zOne device has a locking mechanism, which is common on the waterproof devices. More telling, though, the back cover also has icons that seem to represent the trials the phone can endure. There's a water droplet, an arcing line that bounces off the ground, and a few other, less specific icons.
Unlike the sleek Motorola Defy, the Android G'zOne phone is thick and aggressive. The phone features sharp, industrial angles and exposed bolts. The bright red highlights are reminiscent of the Droid marketing campaign, so we wonder if this phone might qualify for Verizon Wireless' high-end Droid family branding.
We'll be looking out for this device at the Verizon Wireless CES press conference tomorrow morning, and in the near future. If it is finalized enough for Nuance to be using as a demo for its new gesture-based keyboard, it should be very close to an official announcement.
Nov 13, 2019
The unannounced new Motorola RAZR with a foldable display has been revealed in public documents for its FCC approval. Photos in the documents match previous leaks, including a very tall, narrow screen that folds in half, inside a body very much like the original RAZR, including a "chin" at the bottom.
Jan 7, 2020
Kyocera is at CES this year showing off mock-ups of 5G devices under development, including their next rugged smartphone for the US, which will have 5G. Kyocera's Product Planning Manager Curtis Wick confirmed to Phone Scoop that the company is still actively developing rugged smartphones for the US market, similar to the DuraForce Pro 2 that is currently offered by AT&T and Verizon.
Casio's latest watch is a smarter wearable. The WSD-F30 boasts a smaller footprint than its predecessor, making it easier to wear.
Samsung's new flagship Galaxy S phones for 2020 are somewhat predictable in appearance and features, and they've leaked like crazy, but there are a few surprises. There's no smaller, more affordable model like last year's S10e, nor is there a separate 5G model.
Now that's a DROID
Water Resistance
Shock Resistance
Navigation (or Compass)
Granted those are guesses, but I think they are pretty obvious based on previous G'zOne devices and the Android OS.

KINGSTON: The Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) is urging importers to adhere to regulations governing the importation of commercial and non-commercial goods, in order to prevent being breached for contravention of the Customs Laws.
According to the CEO/Commissioner of Customs, Major (Ret'd) Richard Reese, the JCA has had to deal with several cases in which persons and entities are found in breach of the Customs Act.
Some of the common breaches found include: Under-invoicing (Section 19); False Declaration (Section 209); Evading Customs Laws for example Permit Breach (Section 210); Intellectual Property Rights Violations (Sections 40 & 44); and violations of the requirements of regulatory authorities, for which the JCA undertakes agency functions.
Where a breach has been detected, the importer may elect for the Commissioner to mitigate or he/she may choose to have the matter dealt with in the court.
Where the importer elects for the Commissioner to mitigate, the following procedure is applicable:
a)The importer may deposit with the Commissioner an amount in respect of possible penalties, and may elect for mitigation. A letter from the importer outlining the circumstances, in which the breach occurred, along with supporting documents, may accompany the request for mitigation. This administrative procedure facilitates the efficient resolution of the breach without resorting to lengthy proceedings in the courts.
b)The applicable duties must be deposited if the importer wishes to clear his/her goods pending the finalization of the breach.
c)The importer may challenge the breach in the courts.
As it pertains to specific cases of breaches, the JCA cannot publicly discuss such matters, prior to the breach being finalized.

Local public banking has backing – Government report does not reflect this – Senator Rose Conway-Walsh
Sinn Féin Senator Rose Conway-Walsh while welcoming the publication of a report into the viability of local public banking sector based on the German Sparkassen model in Ireland, has said the report lacks imagination and vision.
Reacting to the publication of a report into Local Public Banking by the Department of Finance and the Department of Rural and Community Development, the Mayo Senator said:
"We have waited many months for publication of the report. There have been countless submissions and presentations to Oireachtas committees. There has been ample time for the Government to give serious consideration to the development of a local public banking sector.
"While the Government argue that there is no marked increase in demand for credit by SMEs, they do not address the issue of competition within the lending sector.
"At the moment more than 90% of loans to SMEs come from only 3 banks. Other countries have a myriad of community banks all successfully supplying credit to the sector.
"There is a feeling that this report is nothing more than a box ticking exercise to attempt to fulfil a promise made in the Programme for Government.
"Aspirational references to existing agencies taking a more proactive role in assisting SMEs is not what we expected from this report
"A clear case was made by Irish Rural Link and others as to how the Sparkassen and other models are viable in the Irish market. There are significant stakeholders very supportive of this plan. They have been let down by an uninspired, visionless report.
"As a member of the Oireachtas Finance Committee I will be visiting Germany in September where I will meet with representatives of the Sparkassen model.
"I hope to explore further options and actions with them in order to meet the robust demand for variety and competition in the local banking sector in Ireland."

A reliable investment strategy: Identify a widely diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks and build up additional holdings at favorable prices.
DRIPs can help you do that.
Even small investors can follow such a strategy by investing through dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs). That's because it takes ownership of only a single share of company stock to establish an account. Therefore, there is nothing to stop you from buying companies in a variety of industries.
As for buying at favorable prices, dollar-cost averaging virtually assures that you will buy most shares at favorable prices. And DRIPs provide an excellent way to dollar-cost average. These plans allow you to invest cash amounts to buy shares directly from the company. Once you are enrolled in a plan, you can invest amounts of as little as $25 or $50 (or as much as you can afford) to buy shares or fractions of shares. That's different than the traditional way to invest, which is to pay brokerage fees to buy a certain number of shares.

"I think it's a beautiful performance. Very colorful, very elegant, great composition, great music. I loved the visual aspect of it, the movie aspect. That's very, very unique."
"I love [the digital backdrop]. I think it's new. I think it's very different from traditional ballet or traditional European dance performances."
"It's very funny. I like the humor."
"It's a very unique cultural experience, and dance is a very special art form. I think it can be best enjoyed live, and I think that's why people should come and see the show."
"It takes you on an emotional journey. You're very fascinated, all the colors, big jumps, but then there's also humor, there are sad parts, tragedies, so you're really on this emotional, cultural journey."
John Bendos:
"I like the impression of the show. I'm a martial artist in the past, so I see a lot of the martial arts form being put into dance."
"I think the storylines and the culture bring a lot to [the performance], a lot more emphasis and strength to it, actually."
"The last piece was actually, the oppression, it was sad. Actually created emotion. It was wonderful!"
"I didn't know a lot about that [the persecution of Falun Gong], some of the strife that China's been through."
"I think it's good for people to be aware of what's going on. Even though there's been an economic influx into China, which has created a lot of liberties that weren't there 20, 30 years ago, there's still a long way to go."
"Absolutely [would recommend], yes I would!"
"I think it's a good stretching experience. When you [see the heavenly realm] and the different cultures, it broadens your perspective. … It was wonderful!"

when i first came across LUCAH, i was hesitant to try it out; its unique art style and camera movement as depicted in gifs wasn't like anything i'd tried before, and i wasn't sure my low-end laptop could even handle it. though i was unsure back then, i downloaded its demo.
it's one of the best decisions i think i've ever made.
now with more than 40 hours logged into the full game (which plays smooth as butter, even on the calculator i'm playing on!), i can tell you with certainty that LUCAH: Born of a Dream is all that it promises and more. it has an intense attention to detail--and delivers on it without letting up at any point.
mechanically, aesthetically, story-wise, music-wise? LUCAH works effectively on all fronts to immerse you in its nightmarish world from the get-go--and keep you trapped in it. in a good way! not that you'd ever want to leave...
the "hyperviolence mixtape", for all its tracks, provides an incredible experience. its tone stays consistent, yet its events and new mechanics surprised me at every turn. NG+ is a whole different beast, for example; it plays by its own set of rules, a natural progression from NG's training wheels.
there's a lot more i'd love to praise, specific things, but i can't do that without spoiling a bit of the experience. so go on. discover it for yourself! ...and discover yourself through this, while you're at it.
to really understand and enjoy everything LUCAH offers, i think you'd have to play through all its endings (much less daunting than it sounds, i assure you). you'd have to pay close attention to what's unfolding. you'd have to give the game the trust it asks for, even when it gets scary.
especially when it gets scary.
i love LUCAH, and Lucah, dearly. i don't think i've warmed up to any other video game this quickly and intensely before. give it a try; don't be afraid of falling in love with it, too.

Talk of North West clubs in the Football League has sent shivers down many spines in recent months.
Historic founder members Bolton Wanderers and - most tragically - Bury have dominated conversation due to the severe financial mismanagement of the two clubs when the focus should have ideally been on the expectations of the brand-new league campaign.
The latter club's 125-year league history was ended abruptly in late August, the Shakers becoming the first side to be expelled from the EFL since the liquidation of Maidstone in 1992. Bolton were eventually rescued at the 11th hour.
Just over six miles away from Bury's home ground Gigg Lane, League One club Rochdale mercifully provide a welcome relief to a region that was in danger of becoming all too accustomed to clubs becoming embroiled in financial turmoil.
And this week Rochdale are guests of Manchester United at Old Trafford in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Bolton - fielding a side of youth products as their future remained in the balance - were the Dale's first conquests in the League Cup campaign, with a 5-2 victory at Spotland. A subsequent win over League Two side Carlisle United has led them to the Theatre of Dreams.
Rochdale have never been in a league position higher than the third tier; Manchester United, Premier League behemoths and record champions sit 53 places above them.
Rochdale chief executive David Bottomley told The Sportsman of the significance of the fixture:
"What is means to the club is that our genuine loyal fanbase - supporters who stick with Rochdale through thick and thin - are obviously very excited about it. It doesn't happen on a regular basis that we play world-famous names like Manchester United. In terms of heritage of clubs they don't come any bigger than them.
"It's also a great opportunity for our supporters and for the team to go to one of the finest sporting stadia in the world and get paid to play, and for all of us at the club that's the real excitement.
"We have a very young, exciting management team and we have a great group of professional footballers at Rochdale. Team spirit and togetherness is 100% in place.
"We can go very proudly to Manchester United."
It's an occasion few Dale players have ever been privileged to be a part of. Former Rochdale player and now Head of Dale In The Community Sports Trust Keith Hicks spoke to the club's official website about the majesty of the occasion, and the resonance for a footballer and a club, particularly one of a lower league standing. Hicks played an FA Cup tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1986, with United winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Frank Stapleton and Mark Hughes.
"We took about 6000, the buzz was fantastic. We were going to play European Cup winners, FA Cup winners and it's 'Little Rochdale'. Looking back now the match was a blur."
Over three decades later, it's a position Brian Barry-Murphy's 2019/20 side also now find themselves in and one that Dale supporters and players will, of course, be relishing; a bittersweet contrast to the fate of their geographical rivals, something that CEO Bottomley sympathises with: "First and foremost as a club we have every sympathy with Bury's supporters. Without supporters at our level of football, football is nothing. It's what makes football really tick as a sport.
"All of us at Rochdale, our hearts go out to supporters, the fans of Bury who haven't done anything wrong, who've just gone and watched their football club."

Barry-Murphy's side's brand of football is one of the reasons Rochdale are a team to keep an eye on, says Bottomley: "It's one we haven't seen in a long time at Rochdale. It's a possession-based game and when it comes off it works absolutely brilliantly, it excites us all. You just sit there with open eyes thinking 'This is really great football I'm watching!' "
The expulsion of Bury should, of course, continue to be discussed and deconstructed, as should the precipice Bolton and their fans found themselves teetering towards. Rochdale provides an antidote in the region.
"For 112 years Rochdale has had a chairman, a chair, and a group of directors who have felt themselves very privileged to be part of a lovely Lancashire football club.
"We've maintained Football League membership while traditional rivals around us - Stockport County, York City and Wrexham - have all dropped out. Our board of directors have always sought financial stability above success on the playing field.
"It's hard to take sometimes when other clubs around you are overspending and seemingly having more success. It's quietly knowing that the day of reckoning always comes.
"Rochdale have always avoided that pitfall of chasing success with money it's never had. That's where we are today."
Rochdale's journey towards the upcoming fixture ultimately, however, is a merciful reprieve in the north of Greater Manchester, an area that has threatened to become perpetually tinged with doom and gloom across the current season.
Similarly to Bury - with whom their 'M66 Derby' had become a notable occasion - Rochdale have had a strong longevity with the EFL; the club was founded in 1907 and has been part of the Football League since 1921.
Rochdale's league positions in the past several seasons have been far from spectacular. But good solid management means that a visit to Old Trafford isn't just a payday, even if there is an obvious financial benefit to the tie. It's instead a reward, and the swarm of travelling fans to M16 should feel blessed that, unlike the Shakers, their current grounding is solid.
"I hope the people of Rochdale who go to the game at Old Trafford and maybe some fans of Manchester United, enjoy themselves so much and think: 'You know what, I'm going to go to Rochdale on a Saturday or a Tuesday night and watch the wonderful football that they have.'
"We're a good traditional Lancashire club from a good traditional Lancashire town."

Schleier Lerner, a scholar, says toys that give children too much inappropriate are less likely to compromise their cognitive abilities, as they can be overwhelmed with so many toys, unable to concentrate on playing a toy and learning from it . The report by Casey Sylva, a professor of educational psychology at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, also confirms this point.
The company is located in:
In this regard, the domestic pediatric experts also expressed some agree with the point of view. Cui Ni, chief physician of pediatrics of Nanjing Integrative Medicine Hospital in Nanjing, said that a great variety of toys do not represent "a lot of good and good", but the quantity is adverse to the development and growth of children's intelligence. For example, many parents spoiled their babies. Once a baby broke a toy, he immediately bought a new toy for the baby. As a result, a lot of new toys in the toy were damaged. In the long run, the child not only did not know how to care for the toy, but also easily destroyed addiction". In addition, if the baby has too many toys, easy to develop inattention, not careful habits. The excessive communication and interaction between children with too many toys and their parents will be reduced, and the corresponding time spent reading, singing and playing with their parents will also be reduced, which in turn will not help improve the level of intelligence.

Some of the more than 100 people arrested during Oakland demonstrations a year ago this week say police pepper-sprayed them for no reason, denied them medical treatment and sexually harassed them.
"When I was getting frisked on the lawn, an officer told me I was going to be his girlfriend," said Casey Brander, now a senior at Carnegie Mellon University. She claims she spent 20 hours under arrest following protests against the Group of 20 economic summit, part of the time in a dark room in the Allegheny County Jail where she didn't know the time of day.

"Officers were calling us 'hot' and calling us derogatory names," she said Tuesday. "It was just a really draining experience. I was pretty traumatized by it."

- Hebrews 11:1
"And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect."
- Hebrews 11:39-40
I was taught once to thank God for everything I'm praying to Him about as if I've already received it. Faith meant to believe God would provide this thing I so desperately wanted. And I agree that it's good to have faith in God's generosity and grace. However, there's a second part to that. Sometimes the things we want are not actually God's plan for us. There are times when we'll want something so bad, and we'll pray to God for it, and God's answer is NO. Here's the thing. God doesn't just say no, He says, "I have something better planned." He can see the outcome of everything. He knows the best path we should take. He knows what will bring us closer to Him, and what is in our best interest.
Years ago, I started working at the newspaper. It had always been my dream to work there, and I finally got my foot in the door when I landed a job doing grunt work in the advertising department. Save for the usual work stresses, all was well with this job...until it wasn't. The newspaper was going through some tough times, and my job was next on the chopping block. I needed to find something else, or I was going to lose my job. As a single mother with no other source of income, this was not an option.
I discovered that one of our family's friends was hiring for a real estate secretary. I immediately applied. Then I told my parents about this job. My dad urged my mom to apply for this job, as well. As soon as I learned of this, I knew my chances of getting this job were none. My mom had a lot more experience than I did, and this family friend would hire her over me any day. I was furious with my parents, and I went into that interview with my sails deflated.
Needless to say, I did not get that job and my mom did. However, weeks later I learned of a new position at the company I worked for in page layout, the department that structured the newspaper every day. I applied, and the job was mine. I not only got a pay increase, I also was bumped from PT to FT. I got benefits, holiday pay, and vacation time. It was a huge step up! Later, this job would give me the legs I needed to move into the newsroom with a writing gig, and to see an even bigger boost in my pay and benefits.
Here's the kicker. A few months into the page layout position, I began seeing one of my coworkers. Things progressed between us, and we've now been married for 4 years. He is the love of my life. I never knew I could be loved so well by anyone.
Had I gained that job I wanted way back when, I never would have realized my dream of working in the newsroom, and I would not be married to my husband. This is unfathomable to me! I was asking God for something, and he said NO because he had something better planned.
Currently, I still work in the newsroom (and my mom is still very happy at the job she applied for...and we still love each other, lol). And times are still tough at the newspaper. My job requirements have increased and I often feel like collapsing at the end of my week because of the insane amount of stress I'm under. On the side, I'm also a novelist, and I pray daily that God will bless my novels and help them reach more readers, allowing me to sell enough books so that I can quit my day job. So far, God's answer has been NO. Or maybe God is saying NOT YET. Perhaps he is saying I HAVE A BETTER PLAN. This is my test to have patience and faith in God. He's always taken care of me, and he'll take care of me now. He knows what's best, and he has a plan. My job is to have faith and know that God has only the best plan in place.
God has a plan for you. He knows your heart's desire. He knows what you so desperately seek. Have faith that God will provide, but be open to receiving what God knows is best for you. Often, this will look like nothing you asked for. And often, it opens the door for something way better. So when you pray, don't be afraid to ask God for that thing you want with all your heart, but when you thank God, thank Him for taking care of you by giving you what you really need.
Grace and peace to you all.
