China officially has a population of over 1.3 billion people and its estimated growth rate is 0.494%. It is very concerned with how its population grows and this has made it to attempt to implement a very strict population policy. In 2002, Chinas population and family planning law and policy were enacted. It only allows one child per family and only allows for a second child in rare circumstances, mostly in rural areas, though the guidelines override those minor communities with small populations. There is prohibition of use of physical coercion to make persons to give in to abortion or sterilization though in rare situations physical coercion is used. (Fand 2009)
Through out most areas, awareness on population planning is carried out. Crude birth rate and crude death rate has declined significantly. Chinas population planning has been successful because of the fact that there are about 200 million fewer Chinese who were born as the program got implemented and became famous. Employing incentives exhortation and punishments made Chinas birth rate to eventually decline to 1.03% in 2000, which is extremely low rate for a country that was developing. But since the country is so large, the population of china increases by one million each month. Chinas fertility rate is 1.7 which implies that a woman on average can give birth to 1.7 children, however though; Chinas population is expected to continue growing over the next decades. This is because of immigration to china and a decrease in infant mortality and a reduction in death rate because national health is improving. There has been an increase in the age of marriage in china and improvement in female education, which have reduced fertility over time. Various forces have been employed to sustain the population of china and its demographic modernization pace has been impressive
According to the 2006 July census, Japan had a total population of 127 million which makes 2.0% of the total population of the world. Japan had witnessed an uphill trend during the twentieth century because Japan was growing industrially and economically but of late, population is starting to decline. Since the year 2005, the population growth of Japan started to decline with the death rate being higher than birth rate and the immigration rate almost becoming zero. This was not the first period Japan was witnessing decline in population, it had always been occurring that Japan had witnessed declining population rates. Japan crossed the 100 millionth mark in 1967 but after that, each year started recording a lower population growth and since 2005, the situation became acute. ( Peng 2000)
In 2005 the number of the elderly people in Japan was 26.82 million while the population of the young was 17.40 million and this indicated its falling birth rate and fertility rate. There is a high life expectancy and fertility rate. High life expectancy is the major reason why there is a decline in the population of japan. The main reason as to why there is a low infertility rate is because there is an increase in m marriage age and increase in the number of unmarried females. According to 2006 census, the current birth rate has come down to 9.37 births per 1000 people. Decline in death rates is attributed to improved standards of hygiene and cleanliness. The net migration rate was almost zero in 2006. Of Japan has a population growth rate of 0.02%. HIV AIDS prevalence in adults is below 0.1% but the major killer disease is cerebra vascular disease and cancer. However though, there is an increasing dependency rate which might put Japan in trouble in financial crisis. Estimates have shown that there is an increase in the aging population and decrease in the youth rate and it has been stipulated that japans population might fall to 100 millionth marks by 2050.

N2O conversion rates of Ca-Cu and Ba-Cu catalysts were 79 and 86%, respectively, at 700°C and 1 atm under space velocity of 5000 h–1. The Ca-Cu catalyst was especially noteworthy in that its capability of converting N2O could be maintained even after its exposure to co-feeding NF3 gas constituent in the waste gas stream. Compositional and surface morphological analyses of the Ca-Cu and Ba-Cu catalysts were made before and after exposure to the waste gas stream to examine any noticeable degradation or change of the catalysts. Unlike Ba-Cu catalyst, SiO2 constituent of the Ca-Cu catalyst was found to remain immune to the NF3-cofeeding waste gas stream, casting a positive prospect for superior and steady N2O decomposition performance via maintenance of its structural integrity.JO - Archives of Metallurgy and Materials L1 - http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111340/PDF/AMM-2019-2-43-Sungkyu.pdf L2 - http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111340 PY - 2019 IS - No 2 EP - 700 KW - nitrous oxide (N2O) KW - nitrofluorine three (NF3) KW - perfluorocompounds (PFCs) KW - direct decomposition KW - catalyst A1 - Seo, Minhye A1 - Lee, Soo-Young A1 - Cho, Sung-Su A1 - Song, Hyoung Woon A1 - Kim, Hyun-Kyung A1 - Kim, Dong Soo A1 - Lee, Sungkyu PB - Institute of Metallurgy and Materials Science of Polish Academy of Sciences PB - Commitee on Metallurgy of Polish Academy of Sciences VL - vol. 64 JF - Archives of Metallurgy and Materials SP - 695 T1 - Effect of NF3 Gas on Stabilization of Alkaline Earth Metal-CU Mordenite Catalysts During N2O Decomposition Reaction DA - 2019.06.27 UR - http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=111340 DOI - 10.24425/amm.2019.127600 ER -

Significant changes impacting credit cards have been proposed, with ASIC recommending a three year 'prescribed period' for assessing whether a credit contract or credit limit increase would be unsuitable. ASIC's Report called Credit card lending in Australia (July 2018) (Report) builds on the previous Senate Inquiry into credit card interest rates1 (Senate Inquiry) and recent legislative reforms. The Report focuses on three key concerns of credit card lending, being:
- Consumer debt outcomes
- Balance transfers, and
- The effectiveness of key reforms.
ASIC found that credit card debt is a problem for many consumers, with 18.5% of consumers in circumstances that typically lead to credit card default. ASIC is concerned that some credit providers allow consumers to access credit substantially above their credit limit, and fail to take proactive steps to assist consumers in circumstances who are facing financial hardship.
ASIC confirmed the Senate Inquiry's theory of the balance transfer 'debt trap' that a substantial proportion of customers face, with over 63% of customers who transferred their balance not cancelling their old cards. ASIC found that half of the credit providers that participated in its report did not provide customers with a warning when the promotional period on their balance transfer was about to end, despite the Senate Inquiry prompting them to do so.
ASIC also examined the effectiveness of three recent reforms. Findings showed that the requirement to provide consumers with a Key Facts Sheet was not effective in reaching consumers that opened accounts online. ASIC found four of the twelve participating credit providers did not adhere to the requirement that repayments must first be allocated to the balance with the highest interest rate. Finally, ASIC found no evidence of an increase in repayment amounts following the introduction in 2012 of a requirement for credit providers to include a minimum repayment warning – a comparison between the total cost of making only minimum repayments and payments sufficient to repay the debt within 2 years – on statements.
The review involved participation from twelve various credit card providers, including large banks, foreign banks and non-bank lenders. The Report outlines several measures ASIC expects credit providers to implement to better protect consumers from the issues that persist in the Australian credit card market.
ASIC's proposed three-year 'prescribed period' in its Consultation Paper, Credit Cards: Responsible Lending Assessments (July 2018) (Consultation Paper) was considered suitable to allow consumers reasonable access to credit, whilst preventing consumers entering into unsuitable credit card contracts. In deciding on the three-year period, ASIC considered the current industry practice of basing serviceability assessments on a 5 year repayment period but found that this would not materially improve consumer outcomes.
Submissions on the Consultation Paper are open until 31 July 2018, with the final instrument to be released in August/September 2018.

The Great Statesman is West Kowloon's first original Cantonese musical commission. Based on familiar stories and characters, and adapted through a contemporary lens, the production is produced in partnership with Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, and due for a preview season in 2019 and a premiere season in 2020. The core creative team comprises composer, arranger and musical director Leon Ko, lyricist Chris Shum, playwright Cheung Fei Fan and director Fong Chun Kit.
We are now looking for talented performers with musical training to be part of this exciting project. Auditions and recalls take place this April and May, with development workshops and rehearsals taking place between mid-June 2018 and end May 2019. Please scroll down for details and to apply.
Set in a tea house, where the customers and proprietors perform a play within a play, shifting in and out of character as the scenes progress, The Great Statesman revolves around the complex web of lies and deception surrounding the relationship between former solicitor Fong Tong Gang and his childhood friend Ah Sai.
The Great Statesman is West Kowloon's first Cantonese musical commission due for a preview season in 2019 and a premiere season in 2020.
As part of our continued commitment towards the creation of good work for the enjoyment of more audiences, the commissioning process began as early as March 2016, when the core creatives made up of Composer Leon Ko, Lyricist Chris Shum and Playwright Cheung Fei Fan wrote the first outlines to the musical. Director Fong Chun Kit joined the creative team in March this year.
The resolve to improve the conditions of creating an original musical within the context of Hong Kong has also led to our partnership with Hong Kong Repertory Theatre in co-producing this new commission. This confluence of an extended period of commissioning, provision of production dramaturgical support in the making and staging of the piece, as well as allowing a series of production workshops for the director, movement architect, designers and the ensemble to test out possible design and staging strategies, marks the desire for a new model of making a musical in Hong Kong.
Artistically, The Great Statesman uses a contemporary lens to relook at the rich vernacular tradition of Cantonese Opera by drawing inspiration from familiar characters and scenarios dealing with court battles, lies, false identities, revenge, absolution and redemption.

Multi-dimensional healing of an old wound
25 April 2017 - I started seeing Julia a couple of months ago for an ailment that I believe to be a 'spiritual wound'. Straight away Julia understood what I was talking about and was able to describe my affliction exactly how was seeing it myself.
With the use of her selenite swords and beautiful crystal harp, Julia has removed a considerable amount of the density I've been experiencing in my shoulder and neck, I've had this discomfort for as long as I can remember, so it's great to finally meet someone who gets me and has incredible multidimensional insight to help shift the physical density and free my spirit!
I look forward to continuing the work we've started as I believe I'll soon be free of my physical restrictions.
A big thank you to Julia, it's been a pleasure to meet her and feel understood, nurtured and healed. Much love ❤ Zoe, Energy Healer

This post may contains affiliate links. I can make a small commission if you make a purchase through these links at no extra cost to you. This commission helps me maintain my website
I mostly preparing style posts about work and professional wardrobes. But what about us, stay at home mums or mums on maternity leave. I know you already saw so many Stay at home mums capsule wardrobe posts, but I prepared for you something different. Mums wardrobe but with a little smartness in it.
What Is Included
I build my stay at home mum wardrobe on pretty much everything what you already have in your wardrobe, you are just afraid to wear it with the little ones running around and with so many spills and stains staring at you all the time. But let me tell you, clothes need to be worn and not just hanging in the closet. Take your nicer clothes, blouses, pants and why not that silk scarf out of your wardrobe and wear it.
Little Swaps
Try to make a little change, if the basic t-shirt can be worn to the office why couldn't you wear nice blouse at home or for a school run? Simple minimalistic blouse is easier to wash and looks much better then just classic t-shirts. Don't get me wrong, I love t-shirts but you know blouse and shirt is a different level. A little upgrade of your uniform.
Style To Go For
Preferably go for something simple, minimalistic in neutral colours. (You know I am huge fun of this style.) Easy to take care of it and never goes out of style.
Brands To Go For
While I was browsing I found nice tops, tunics, shirts, blouses and coats at Stella & Dot, Baukjen, Everlane, Les Sublimes, Sands & Hall.
Let me know in the comments what is your style and everyday uniform.

Pinball FX3 Review
Zen Pinball FX3 is essentially a pinball arcade portal. The game is free and comes with a single table, Sorcerer's Lair, with other tables available for purchase, primarily in themed packages that include two to four tables each. The tables are all original designs for the game so don't expect any licensed classics from the golden age of the silver ball. However, the table designs in the game are all pretty good and include licensed tables from properties like Aliens, Portal, and Fox Animation. New tables are released several times a year, so you'll always have a variety of new tables to choose from, and any table can be demoed before purchase.
With any pinball game review you need to start with the physics, because if a pinball video game doesn't get that right it's worthless. I've played my share of pinball, both real tables and video game versions, and Pinball FX3 nails the physics like no other video game before it. The ball feels like it actually has weight as you send it back up the table with the flippers, and every ricochet and bounce looks perfectly accurate. The ball is not following pre-programmed tracks across the table, instead giving itself over to the laws of physics in the same way a real ball would. You can even give the table a nudge in different directions, to try to get the ball to drop in the lane you want it to or to make a desperation save when the ball is making a high speed beeline for the gap between the bottom flippers.
Pinball FX3 supports vertical play when you're using your Switch as a portable. To change modes you tap a little icon in the top left corner of the screen, and then tap it again to switch back. Navigating the menus is confusing if you leave the Joy-Con controllers attached to the Switch because the controller orientation doesn't change. You can get by if you stick to the touch screen. When you get into a game, the vertical orientation is great because it matches the natural orientation of a pinball table. The flippers are controlled by B and X instead of the triggers, so it's a little awkward to hold the Switch vertically while keeping your thumbs on two buttons on the right side of the console. These problems go away if you detach the controllers, though, and you can go back to using the triggers.
While the physics is strictly real-world, the game also takes advantage of the fact that it's a video game. You'll see numbers indicating your score float out of the bumpers, targets, and lanes as you hit them, much in the same way as you'd see in an RPG or fighting game each time you land an attack. Some tables feature 3D animated characters on the edges of the tables that react to your play and sometimes leap into action while you're trying to complete a mission sequence. You may even trigger video game style mini games that take place in a separate space from the table itself. All of these things add to the game experience without detracting from the pinball play itself.
Pinball FX3 has additional modes of play in addition to the pinball and tournament modes. Each table includes three challenge modes, each of which challenges you to get the highest score that you can in one minute of play, with only a single ball, or by reaching set score interval levels within time limits. Completing these challenges will reward you with bonus powers and perks that can be enabled when you play the table in standard mode. These include the power to briefly rewind time, increase the length of combo timers, and increase bumper score values. Pinball purists will undoubtedly balk at such perks, but for them there is still a straight mode of play that doesn't allow perks or powers and has its own separate leaderboards. I like the new challenge mode, not so much for rewards but because they each do provide their own unique challenge that adds some variety to the game.
Pinball FX3 supports weekly tournaments, and also adds the ability for players to create custom tournaments to share with the public. Set the table and any rules such as bonuses allowed and then put it out there to see who earns the best score before the tournament closes. You can also participate in these tournaments without ever making one yourself. It's easy enough to browse the tournament list and find one that interests you.
As much as I love the game's tables, the menu system's look and feel is really plain and simple. I know that it doesn't really have any effect on the gameplay, but it does on the overall experience. The tables demonstrate that Zen Studios has some very talented artists and designers working for the company and I'd like to see them turned loose on the game's interface as well. My only other complaint with the game is that teaching players the missions and goals on a new table needs to be incorporated into the game. Each table has a text-based guide that you can find in the menus for the table, but trying to memorize all of that while picturing actually playing the table is an exercise that is more difficult than it should be. An interactive tutorial mode for each table would go a long way towards making them more accessible to new players and bringing veterans up to speed on a new table a lot faster.
Overall Pinball FX3 is an enjoyable experience. The tables all look fantastic and play quite well, and the pinball physics is unmatched in pinball video games. At the very least take the time to download the game and take its free table out for a test drive. You just may find yourself getting hooked on the game.
Final Rating: 90% - Pinball FX3 on Switch is well worth taking out for a spin, either at home or on the go.

The ancient Persian Empire included areas far beyond modern Persia, now called Iran. At times the Persians controlled much of the Middle East — they were a main antagonist of Ancient Greece a few centuries BCE (and later the Roman Empire), and ruled Egypt at one point — as well as much of the Caucasus and Central Asia and parts of what are now Pakistan and India.
In Western canon, the Persian Empire was famous for the liberation of Jews from Babylon, as well as the Persian Wars with Ancient Greece.
They had a huge influence on Central Asia, much of which they ruled for centuries. Marco Polo, for example, describes cities like Bukhara and Balkh as Persian. Even today, one dialect of Persian is the main language of Tajikistan and another is widely used in Afghanistan. They also had a tremendous influence on South Asia which was repeatedly invaded by Persian speakers, from Darius taking Gandhara in the 6th century BCE to the Mughal Empire which ruled much of the subcontinent from the 16th century CE into the 19th.
Persia has been conquered three times: by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE, by Arabs during the great expansion of Islam in the 8th century CE, and by the Mongol Empire in the 13th. Every time, it has risen again to create another Persian Empire.
Old Persian was only one of many languages spoken and used officially by the First Persian Empire, the Achaemenid, along with Babylonian, Elamite, Aramaic and even Greek. This multilingual approach to governance continued during the course of the Parthian and early Sasanian Empires. By the late Sasanian however, Middle Persian had emerged as the prestige and dominant language in the Greater Iranian sphere, which over the centuries evolved into Modern Persian and kept its dominance to the modern day.
The main dialects of modern Persian are Farsi in Iran, Tajik in Tajikistan and Dari in Afghanistan. They are different enough to create difficulties, but not to completely prevent understanding.
At its peak, around 500 BCE, the empire was enormous. These areas retained Persian culture for centuries:
- Afghanistan has always shown a strong Persian influence
- Bactria has been a center of trade for several thousand years
- Iran was the center of the empire
- Sogdia was the northernmost part of the empire a few centuries BCE
- Gandhara, a civilization centered in what is now Pakistan, with much fine Buddhist art
See Iran#Cities for the main modern towns there. This section lists only places not on that list.
- 1 Baku (Azerbaijan). For much of its history, was a Persian city, and its old core's architecture reflects this fact.
- 2 Balkh. Former capital of Bactria, now a town in northern Afghanistan with interesting buildings
- 3 Bokhara (Uzbekistan). Great trading city on the Silk Road
- 4 Ctesiphon (Iraq). Now a ruined city on the eastern banks of the Tigris river, was capital of the empire until the Islamic conquest of Persia.
- 5 Derbent (Dagestan). "The Barred Gates" in Persian, often identified with the legendary Gates of Alexander, was intermittently controlled by the Persian monarchs, starting from the 6th century BC. Its beautiful fortress is thought to date from the reign of Khosrau I.
- 6 Herat. Now Afghanistan's westernmost city, it's heavily influenced by Persia and sometimes part of the empire
- 7 Isfahan. Capital of Persia under the Safavids from the 16th to 18th centuries. It also features a world heritage listed square surrounded by historic buildings.
- 8 Persepolis (Iran). Now only ruins, was the empire's capital in its days of glory
- 9 Samarkand (Uzbekistan). Silk Road city and once capital of the empire's northernmost province, Sogdia
- 10 Shiraz (Iran). A city with a vast array of historic buildings, was the capital of the Empire under the short-lived Zand dynasty.
- 11 Tehran. The capital of Iran under the Qajar and Pahlavi dynasties and an Islamic Republic since 1979, the city features a royal palace inscribed as a world heritage site.

The United Methodist Women of First United Methodist Church, 100 E. Sunrise Ave., in Thomasville are planning to celebrate 150 years of changing the lives of women, children and youth, with a UMW anniversary celebration at the church on March 23 and 24.
On March 23, 1869, in Boston, Mass., Clementina Butler and Lois Parker informed six women members of the Methodist Episcopal Church about the desperate health care and educational needs of women in India. Their call to action raised funds to send Isabella Thoburn, a teacher, and Clara Swaim, a doctor, to India. The meeting in March led to the formation of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, the first of many Methodist women's mission organizations to address the injustices imposed on women and girls in the 19th century. United Methodist Women is their successor.
All UMW organizations in the Thomasville area have been invited to participate in the celebration, which begins on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. with a joint UMW meeting, followed by lunch at noon. Immediately following lunch, the women will host a Rock-A-Thon to raise money for the Legacy Fund Endowment Campaign.
The Legacy Fund enables the UMW to continue to build upon the foundation set forth by the founders 150 years ago. The difficulties encountered by women, children and youth around the world continue to sustain separation from life, affirming that compassionate care and support that heals, restores, and empowers is much needed.
In 2014, the board of directors launched the Legacy Fund Endowment Campaign, setting a goal to raise $60 million. The Legacy Fund Endowment Campaign is both historic and unprecedented, with the theme, "Together we are building our legacy," celebrating the legacy of the courageous women who founded the mission movement, as well as the legacy that today's members will leave for future generations of the United Methodist Women, to create their legacy to carry the mission of faith, hope and love in action forward in the world for years to come.
On March 24, there will be a UMW Celebration Service at 11 a.m. The women will lead the service and guest speaker will be Rhita Newcomb, from Yadkin Valley District Leadership Team. A covered dish luncheon will follow the service in the church fellowship hall, complete with a birthday cake.
If you would like to make a donation to the Rock-A-Thon, contact the church office at (3360 476-4223.

Insidious: The Last Key needs to become Insidious: The Last One instead
The 4th Insidious installment doesn't seem to understand that its core ideas and themes aren't original or interesting. The imagery of its villain is inappropriately close to that of Pan's Labyrinth, and it completely fails to take into account the fact that it doesn't actually have a plot.
Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye) is a ghost hunter with the ability to speak to the spirits she seeks. So when the current resident of her childhood home calls for her help, Elise knows she must travel and face her own personal demons. But when she arrives, she discovers more than just her own personal demons.
The Insidious franchise is one that relies on classic scares as its main fear factor, and for the most part, fails to supply any form of tension or suspense. There's no individuality to the horror on show, and it just comes across as lame. A feeling that doesn't help a horror struggling for scares.
The characters are shallow and uninteresting, the story is obvious and boring and as a horror, it just doesn't stand up to the films of even 10 years ago. With one good scare, Insidious: The Last Key needs to become Insidious: The Last One instead.

Lehigh Valley Hospital Named Among Best in U.S. for the 21st Consecutive Year
Ranked nationally in 5 specialties and #4 in Pa. by U.S. News & World Report
Lehigh Valley Hospital (LVH) ranks for the 21st consecutive year as one of the nation's top hospitals on U.S. News & World Report's Best Hospitals list. LVH ranks number 4 among hospitals in Pennsylvania.
The 2016-2017 list names LVH among the nation's top 3 percent of leading hospitals in five categories: cardiology and heart surgery; gastroenterology and GI surgery; geriatrics; orthopedics; and pulmonology. These specialties also made the 2015-16 Best Hospitals list.
This is the 12th time cardiology and heart surgery, and geriatrics have been on the list; the 11th for gastroenterology and GI surgery; the eighth for orthopedics; and the seventh for pulmonology.
LVH is the only hospital in the area to make the U.S. News national rankings in at least one specialty area every year since 1996.
In addition to the Best Hospitals national rankings, U.S. News cites hospitals as "high-performing" in regional markets around the country. Lehigh Valley Hospital and Lehigh Valley Hospital—Muhlenberg both are recognized among the Best Hospitals in Northeastern Pennsylvania/Lehigh Valley and the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metro Area. Lehigh Valley Hospital—Muhlenberg is listed as a high-performer in urology, and ranks number 20 in the state out of 238 total hospitals in Pa.
"This recognition reflects our health network's relentless focus on improving the quality of care we provide to our community, to keep them healthy and care for them when they are ill or injured," says Brian Nester, DO, MBA, FACOEP, LVHN's president and chief executive officer. "Our LVHN colleagues are to be commended for their unwavering commitment to their patients."
U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 adult specialties. In most specialties, it ranks the nation's top 50 hospitals and recognizes other high-performing hospitals that provide care at nearly the level of their nationally ranked peers.
"U.S. News evaluates nearly 5,000 hospitals nationwide," said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis at U.S. News. "A hospital that has emerged from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of."
U.S. News Best Hospitals rankings help guide patients to hospitals that deliver outstanding care. Objective measures such as patient survival, the number of times a given procedure is performed, infection rates, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.
The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
The rankings have been published at http://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals and will appear in print in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2017 guidebook, available in bookstores and on newsstands in August.
Lehigh Valley Health Network includes eight hospital campuses - three in Allentown including the region's only facility dedicated to orthopedic surgery, one in Bethlehem, one in East Stroudsburg, one in Hazleton and two in Pottsville, Pa.; 26 health centers caring for communities in seven counties; numerous primary and specialty care physician practices and 18 ExpressCARE locations throughout the region including the area's only Children's ExpressCARE at the Health Center at Palmer Township; pharmacy, imaging, home health services and lab services; extensive inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services; and preferred provider services through Valley Preferred. Specialty care includes: trauma care at the region's busiest, most-experienced trauma center treating adults and children, burn care at the regional Burn Center, kidney and pancreas transplants; perinatal/neonatal, cardiac, cancer care, orthopedics, and neurology and complex neurosurgery capabilities including national certification as a Comprehensive Stroke Center. The Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute, the Lehigh Valley Heart Institute and the Lehigh Valley Institute for Special Surgery give clinicians of the highest caliber the necessary infrastructure, programs and partnerships to help community members stay healthy and provide the most advanced treatment when needed. The Lehigh Valley Cancer Institute is a formal member of the Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) Cancer Alliance, a transformative initiative to improve the quality of care and outcomes for people with cancer in community health care settings, including access to key MSK clinical trials. Robotic surgery is offered in ten specialties across the health network with more than 10,000 procedures performed since 2007. Lehigh Valley Children's Hospital, the only children's hospital and Level 4 NICU in the region, provides care in more than 30 specialties and general pediatrics. Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest has been recognized among the top five hospitals in Pennsylvania by U.S. News & World Report for for five consecutive years. Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest, Lehigh Valley Hospital–17th Street and Lehigh Valley Hospital–Muhlenberg are national Magnet hospitals for excellence in nursing.

RAF Centenary Tiptree Jam Heritage Canister

RAF Centenary Tiptree Jam – Heritage Canister
Limited edition RAF Centenary Tiptree Jam – Heritage Canister
One Sunday morning in 1918 Second Lieutenant C. L. Milburn flew over the Tiptree jam factory in a BE2E training aircraft known as "Red-Nose." Dropping a handwritten note attached to a streamer, he asked for more of the morale-boosting conserve to be sent to him at the nearby Stow Maries Aerodrome. This was the first of many such requests. Sadly, he and many other pilots from the fledgling Royal Air Force did not survive the war.
100 years on, the Royal Air Force Association and Tiptree have partnered to launch two limited edition products to celebrate this fantastic partnership. The second in the series is a a jar of our Strawberry Conserve, presented in a stylish ceramic canister dedicated to those pilots who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Allen Hurns has been one of the NFL's most pleasant surprises. As one of the Jacksonville Jaguars top playmaking options, Hurns has become a favorite of quarterback, Blake Bortles. The two have displayed immense chemistry over the course of the 2015-16 NFL season. It's a relationship that seems destined to last for quite some time.
But that wasn't always the original idea amongst the Jaguars front office. Hurns wasn't always considered a part of Jacksonville's rebuilding plans.
The 2014 NFL Draft was heralded as the best wide receiver class in history. Players including Sammy Watkins, Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks, and Odell Beckham Jr, heard their names called during the 1st round. Even Hurns current Jacksonville Jaguars teammate, Allen Robinson, was selected with the 61st pick of the draft. But Hurns never got the chance to bask in the draft's glory.
Despite setting the Miami Hurricanes single season receiving record, Hurns didn't hear his name called at any point during the seven rounds. As a result, he was free to sign with any team he desired. He opted to join the Jacksonville Jaguars, a decision that has paid dividends for both parties.
Being an undrafted free agent means your spot on the roster is far from guaranteed. Hurns had to fight for reps on the Jaguars roster, one that featured three offensive difference makers from the 2014 draft.
You had the potential savior at QB in Bortles, and two stud wide receivers with the aforementioned Robinson and USC standout Marquise Lee.
The long odds did little to deter Hurns from his ultimate goal of playing in the NFL. And his hard work ultimately paid off as he made the teams roster out of training camp.
Hurns' impact on the Jaguars was felt almost instantaneously. It was during week 1 of the 2014 NFL season when Hurns broke through, and by doing so had 31 teams baffled about how they let him slip through the cracks.
He caught four passes totaling 110 yards, and became the only player in NFL history to score touchdowns on his first two receptions.
Hurns would go on to finish his rookie season with 677 yards on 51 receptions. And While he only managed to record two 100+ yard receiving games in 2014, the former University of Miami product proved that he could be a viable option for the improving Jaguars passing attack.
The 2015 season has seen Hurns turn himself into a legitimate NFL wide receiver, recording two 116-yard receiving games in the seasons first five weeks.
Offensive coordinator, Greg Olson, sees the growth and potential of Hurns, as he stated to a local Jacksonville news outlet.
"For a second-year player, a true pro. He's extremely intelligent, can play all three positions. You can count on him that way as a coach. He's an excellent route runner. The quarterbacks certainly trust him and he belongs out there. We like him. He's a dependable player and we're counting in him to be a player here for a long time.''
Bortles is blossoming into a franchise NFL QB, and he owes a lot of his progression to Hurns. Jacksonville is a long way from competitive football, but for the first time in almost a decade they have a formidable core to build around.

China's quick development and modernization programme entails a soaring demand for energy in order to power its heavy industry and its expanding transport systems. By 2010 the country had become the second largest world economy, surpassing Japan. As an illustration of the scale of its rapid modernization, it is worth mentioning that 74000 km of express railway have been built in just 10 years, making China's the second longest expressway network in the world after the US. Also in 2010 Chinese people bought more cars than any other country, more even than America (13.5m compared to 11.6m in the US). All these bring a huge thirst for energy that significantly changes the geopolitical and geo-economic landscape not just of the Asian Pacific area but of the entire world. Continue reading

Crunch debate will expose divisions over Kennally Care, now postponed until September at the earliest
By Graham Smith
The controversy over Cornwall Council's ambition to take over the health service will be exposed today (Wednesday) during a public debate over the speed at which "Kennally Care" is to be introduced.
Splits within the council's cabinet have hampered the original intention to launch an Accountable Care Organisation, with a combined budget, on 1st April. In December 2016 the council said it wanted to move "at pace" to set up an ACO.
Instead, senior council officials now hope to "mobilise" closer integration with the NHS, leading to a review in September, when they hope a single Accountable Care System, with a pooled budget, will get back on track.
The cabinet member responsible for health has said he thinks a full-blown ACO or ACS will not exist for two or three years, at the earliest.
The decision to step back and take a slightly more cautious approach allows for a Judicial Review to be heard at Leeds High Court on 24th April. That Review will determine if single budgets are lawful.
But the council's enthusiasm for commissioning health services remains at odds with the policy of the NHS Kernow clinical commissioning group, which wants instead to use existing statutory mechanisms known as "Section 75" agreements.
Some councillors claim these agreements are "insufficiently strategic" to embrace their 2015 Devolution Deal aspirations. They still hope that the council's chief executive, Kate Kennally, will become the single strategic commissioner for healthcare in Cornwall.
The revised ambition is to have an ACS working "as if" it were a single commissioning organisation by September, accelerating the move towards combined budgets. This could involve some NHS staff being re-located to County Hall. Much depends on national policy developments and how NHS England advises local government and health commissioners.
Councillors were recently invited to a special briefing about Kennally Care. Helen Childs, chief operating officer at NHS Kernow, told councillors: "At the moment we are sadly failing the people that we serve with the quality of the services that we provide."
There has previously been concern over the possibility of an Accountable Care System (ACS) or Accountable Care Organisation (ACO) being introduced because some fear it opens the way to greater privatisation of health services in Cornwall.
However after holding a brief inquiry into the plans, the council has said it is no longer looking to create an ACS or ACO – but it does want to bring together social care services provided by the council and NHS services in Cornwall.
A statement read to the briefing from councillor Andy Virr, who chaired the inquiry, said that the evidence showed "overwhelmingly that doing nothing was not an option" and that health and social care should be combined.
This would involve combining the budgets for the services and working together to provide the best care for people in Cornwall. Mr Virr, a Conservative, has complained that "far Left-wing protestors" had successfully derailed his preferred solution.
Under the current proposals, the council will work together with NHS Kernow, the Council of Isles of Scilly and NHS England to create a "joined up" approach to commissioning of health, social care and public health services.
But crucially, councillors were told that this would no longer mean the creation of a new organisation. All current organisations would be remaining in place and continuing to be responsible for individual services.
The briefing also heard that the council would not take on any debts from NHS organisations and that each organisation would continue to be responsible for those.
Rob Rotchell, cabinet member for adults, said: "People are living longer but that doesn't mean living longer healthily. That means people with much more complex needs are requiring care."
Above: the 2015 "Devolution Deal" began the march towards a restructured health service with Cornwall Council – or some new organisation – taking the strategic commissioning decisions. Below: Dr Iain Chorlton, chairman of NHS Kernow, Nye Bevan, founder of the NHS and Kate Kennally, Cornwall council chief executive
Trevor Doughty, the council's strategic director for children, families and adults, said: "This is about what is best for the people of Cornwall and we need to go in with that kind of mindset."
He added: "We cannot go on with the number of people going into hospital and coming out needing complex care packages."
Mrs Childs highlighted the issues with the current system and said: "Integrated strategic commissioning is a mechanism where we can use our resources to improve the care we provide."
Under the new arrangements the current health and wellbeing board at Cornwall Council would remain in place but would be expanded so that it increased the democratic accountability for health and social care services.
Labour councillor Cornelius Olivier said that while the council was not wanting to label the new arrangements as an ACS or ACO he believed that is what it is. He said: "I can understand why people don't want to use the term Accountable Care System anymore as it is a red rag to a bull."
But Mr Olivier said that he did not see how the budgets of the various organisations could be pooled unless there was a new body formed. He was also critical of the different messages which had been issued by the council, saying that they had been "contradictory."
Mr Rotchell responded saying: "To just merge budgets at this time would be unwise or not appropriate. But it is something that we have to work towards.
"My guess is that is something that is not going to happen within two or three years."
Council chief executive Kate Kenally said that the plans would be under legislation that allows the pooling of budgets for health services and social care.
She said: "We will be looking to pool some or all of our NHS budgets and some or all of our local authority budgets. The process of allocating NHS budgets will be done nationally as it is now."
Mebyon Kernow councillor Andrew Long questioned what the changes would do for improving the current situation where patients were struggling to access ambulance services and get into hospital to received treatment. He said that was what people in Cornwall were concerned about rather than the mechanisim to provide services.

Yasak/Banned: Political Cartoons from Late Ottoman and Republican Turkey
Duke University Libraries collections
The present catalogue documents the exhibition Yasak/Banned: Political Cartoons from Late Ottoman and Republican Turkey, on display October 30, 2017 – March 24, 2018, in the Mary Duke Biddle Room of the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University. The exhibition showcased the complex history of the late Ottoman Empire up to the present Republic of Turkey through the lens of political cartoons and satirical journals. Duke University Libraries contains some 160 cartoons and satires from around the globe and specifically for Ottoman and Turkish cartoons and satires approximately 40 titles. The collection begins with Diyojen (1870) and continues to the present, including such titles as Akbaba, Cem, Kalem, Limon, Bayan Yanı, Gırgır, and Penguen, to name a few. It has become one of the strongest and most diverse collections of its kind in North America, offering the researcher a plethora of opportunities to explore the historical, political, and social changes from the late Ottoman Empire to the contemporary Republic of Turkey. The collection continues to grow. Beginning in 2010, Duke University Libraries began acquiring the collection of Osman Nuri Karabıyık. Mr. Karabıyık is a dedicated collector based in Izmir, Turkey, who had amassed a strong private collection of Ottoman and Turkish materials over some forty years. His collecting interests ranged greatly, from Ottoman political satire and cartoons to the history of medicine, the history of the modern Turkish language, the history of literature, and more.

The US dollar was proving popular Friday ahead of the monthly US payrolls print. Meanwhile, European stocks headed lower, as the Catalonian crisis shows no signs of abating.
Are you looking for fast-news, hot-tips and market analysis? Sign-up for the Invezz newsletter, today.
In mid-morning trade, the US dollar was in the ascendancy against a variety of currencies, including the British pound and euro. However, domestic politics are weighing on both sterling and the European currency, providing additional support for the greenback.
US payrolls data for September are due at 1330 BST with expectations of a faster increase in new jobs growth than the previous month. If the data prove positive, it will add yet further weight to the expectation the US Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again, before the end of the year.
It's this outlook that's supporting the US dollar so far in Friday trading.
European stocks, meanwhile, opened lower Friday, as the Catalonian crisis continues in Spain.
The Spanish court has warned Catalonian leaders that if they meet on Monday and attempt to declare independence, they could potentially face criminal charges. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, meanwhile, said the only solution was for the Catalonian leaders to end their battle for independence.
As the disagreement continues, it's overshadowing the positive elements of the European economy as sentiment continues to improve as economic data remains positive.
Indeed, the minutes of the latest European Central Bank (ECB) meeting suggests policymakers are also gaining confidence in the economic recovery. The meeting included discussions on winding down the current QE programme with a meeting set for October 26 to consider this in more detail.
"A view was put forward that conditions were increasingly falling into place that would allow the intensity of monetary policy accommodation to be adapted and would provide an opportunity to scale back the Eurosystem's net asset purchases," the minutes stated.
The documentation of the September meeting also indicated there was "broad agreement" among the policy making board.

boston: food
November 27, 2011 9 Comments
things are winding down here, i back in the office after an eye-opening food tour with experts, aka asians who live for fine nourishment. Actually i didn't join them for last night festivities, but generally our day involved late noon gatherings + walk + bakery + cafe
+ girls watching + superb dinning + passing out at nice ice cream shop. So, in case you find yourself in boston, these are the places i recommend:
Yankee Lobster Fish Market, highly highly recommended.
Rod Dee Thai,
Pho 2000 in Dorchester, super cute waitress who kept calling me cưng (translation: pamper, cherish, dear, …)
Christina's Ice Cream (and next to it is Christina's Indian Spices shop)
Diesel Cafe, aka dyke cafe shop. there's a darn starbuck opening right opposite of it, boo.
so, if you read reviews of these places, it seems people who have problems are those expecting shiny service! we vietnamese have this way of saying: the shinier the restaurant, the worse the food. I am there to eat and enjoy the high quality food, not the damn shiny tables + shiny services! Let's take Yankee Lobster Fish Market for example: BEST lobster, YUMMMM. and for $20! did i mention fresh?? can't believe i have lived in Boston for so long without knowledge of this little hole in the wall. it really is just that: you fight your way in to a counter, order what you need, might require a bit of push and shove 🙂 (think fish "market"). then look for a spot to sit if there's any, else you might just have to stand in the parking lot 😀 (i heard they have seats outside during summer, but i'd avoid high-capacity hours). The food comes out in paper box and plate, then you roll up your sleeves and yumm…. 2 hours later, truly a satisfying experience. we ran out of stomach room to try steam clam, next time…
Pho 2000 is for baked fish and 7 course beef. It's not that superb if you compare to west coast standard but still very good. And that waitress alone is worth the trip ;-). She even remembered me from 2 months ago. I mean how often you have a group of asian dykes rolling in to town? everything comes with rice paper + vegetable + dipping sauce, so lots of hands involved. if fork and knife is your style, you'll be very lost here. Also, their english might be limited if you want to carry on a conversation or ask for something different or for an opinion, so don't forget to take me along.
As far as Christina's ice cream is concerned, these friends drove hours from Manhattan here to just savor the flavors (they had multiple cups PLUS pints togo). If you get 1 pint to go (for $4.80!!!), 2-flavors is allowed. Mine was Gina's Mocha Explosion and Red Bean. Can't wait to get to bottom of that "jar" to taste the red bean. It's owned by an Indian family, and their way is the less sugar way. Everything contains actual taste of whichever flavor they put in, just enough to savor, nothing overboard. I always have problem here in the US where people don't understand the concept of subtlety. So, am told to come back for their Ginger-flavored ice cream (to die for according to 1 of friends who lamented about the lack of good ice cream or good cafe shops in Manhattan.) One should also try their Kulfi-flavored, burnt-sugar, and oh, i don't know, all 40 flavors… there's also jalapeño-something sorbet which resulted in another pint togo… Anyhow, they're now probably on their way back to new york in a car i'm sure filled with ice cream and sweets and …
and I got an open invitation to visit Manhattan, and we all now have insiders for MET opera tickets (discount, they know which friends should be called for what kind of discount tix). a trip to new york is soon coming :-).
