Two weeks ago, Ahmed Saif began the second event of Snooker Q-School against Zack Richardson in Sheffield, England. After bowing out of the first event a few days earlier, Saif had two more chances of achieving what had been his dream for long — making it to the professional tour.
After beating Jamie Clarke 4-1 a week later, he didn't need the third event. He had created history. He had become the first snooker player from Qatar to make it to the Pro-Tour. He had achieved a feat his own. And it doesn't matter what any other snooker player from the country does, nobody will be able to take this one achievement from him.
Another week later, Saif was at the Qatar Billiards and Snooker Federation's facility in Doha, participating in the Asian Snooker 6-Red Championship.
And while his start to the tournament was anything but desirable, having lost 2-5 to Indian 6-Red national champion Shivam Arora, he came back strongly to win the next two matches.
On Friday evening, Saif beat Saudi Arabia's Ahmed Asserri 5-2 and then followed it up with a close 5-4 victory over Jordan's Sulaiman Abu Salem yesterday afternoon.
"It just feels very good to say the least," Saif told Gulf Times after his match against Salem. "I had been working hard to get this chance for long, and now that I have made it, it feels really good."
Saif thinks the best part about making it to the professional tour is that he will get to play often, which means more practice.
"I think it will make me practice more. Earlier, I used to probably play around two to three tournaments a year. That basically meant that I wasn't getting enough practice. Now that I have to play on the professional tour, I will be playing more tournaments and that would be great practice. I would definitely improve a lot now," he said.
Having become the first Qatari player to become professional in the sport is bound to enhance the profile of the sport in the country, even though one can only expect tangible results and improvements over the course of the year.
"I think it is a very big thing for Qatar snooker. And also for me," he said. "And I think, in the coming years, two to three players from Qatar will definitely go to the Q School to grab their chances."
Among his peers, Saif can feel the positivity around his promotion to the upper echelons of the sport. "All the players are very happy for me. After all, we are part of one team. They will maybe miss me in the national team now because I can't play amateur tournaments; this is my last tournament. But by the way, I think they are very happy, they can watch me on TV. Get inspired," he said.
Saif expects that a large part of his time will now be spent in England considering a lot of professional events happen here but he expects to practice in Qatar as and when he gets the opportunity between tournaments. "My family is here, my coach is here. Our federation is here. Also, it will be good for our players, for them to play with me," Saif said.
He, however, hasn't decided on his schedule for this year. "I have just made the cut and I don't really know anything about the way the professional tour works. After this tournament, I will sit down and discuss it with my coach, the federation."
Saif, like other Qatari players, is working on his game under the guidance of eleven-time World Billiards champion Mike Russell. "For me, he is the best out there. So I think the best one will help me and I will listen to him."Last updated:

If you have already bought your Ben Harper concert tickets for August 26th, you have already contributed to a very good cause. You'll be enjoying a world renowned artist and helping kids in the Bend La Pine Schools music programs. Ben Harper will donate one dollar of every ticket sold to the Education Foundation for Bend La Pine Schools. Heather Vihstadt is the Executive Director for the Foundation: "We are thrilled. I also learned that it is Ben Harper's only Oregon show. So I would not be surprised if it did sell out." Vihstadt says the money will be given to a new music program, BendAid. That's a new non-profit program whose purpose is to raise funds for K through 12 cash-strapped music programs. "It's really going to be helping to support music and the arts, where in the classroom or perhaps after school programs." You can get more information at the Education Foundation website. We have a link at KBND.com.

Rosenthal: Best trades that didn't happen

But the Marlins, according to one club that spoke with them, actually wanted as much as $2.5 million in a trade for Lee — even though they basically weren't paying him anything.
Good old Marlins.
What the hell is wrong with the Marlins?3. Yonder Alonso in misguided trousers (cardinal) Posted: August 01, 2012 at 08:20 PM (#4198504)

Well, no, at least not since Huizenga. But I think that's just because Loria hasn't really had the chance to do stuff this weird. Their previous MO was "OMG, we're gonna have to pay this guy more than $5 M, we need to trade him NOW" which was just considered standard "small market" behavior. This is really Loria's first chance to sell off "high-priced vets" so it's his first chance to do really weird stuff.
But, analogous to stadium public handouts, just because the Astros gave him Lee for free doesn't mean Lee has no value. It's like finding a baseball card worth $20 at somebody's garage sale -- not your fault they're selling it for a penny.
Ugh. Yup, glad we stuck with Bay. What an odd sentence that is.7. Squash Posted: August 01, 2012 at 09:13 PM (#4198540)
Consider this fascinating change-of-scenery exchange that the Miami Marlins and New York Mets kicked around, according to major league sources:8. Bote Man makes baseball fun again Posted: August 01, 2012 at 11:08 PM (#4198594)
Outfielder Jason Bay to the Marlins for reliever Heath Bell and catcher John Buck.
What is fascinating about this trade? Bay hasn't been relevant for several years and Bell is on fumes. If this is the most fascinating trade that didn't happen then all the fascinating trades happened because this ain't much. Far more fascinating (as noted by several above) is the Marlin's desire to hold out for a fairly negligible amount of money rather than move Carlos Lee in a lost season.
I swear, if Jeffrey Loria took his mother to an expensive Mother's Day brunch, he'd make her pay for it.9. MM1f Posted: August 01, 2012 at 11:15 PM (#4198598)
This is an awesome piece.10. Walt Davis Posted: August 01, 2012 at 11:22 PM (#4198601)
As #7 suggests, this is an odd article. Here's one great line:11. JJ1986 Posted: August 01, 2012 at 11:24 PM (#4198602)
Buck, who is batting .168 with a .582 OPS, would have fulfilled the Mets' desire to add a catcher
And this strange entry:
A week or so before the non-waiver deadline, the Milwaukee Brewers thought they were close to trading Francisco Rodriguez to the San Francisco Giants.
Rodriguez had just taken over for John Axford as the Brewers' closer. Righty Brad Penny had just had a bad outing for the Giants. And then the Brewers went to Philadelphia, and K-Rod crumbled.
The Giants quickly backed off.
Brad Penny is back? Indeed he is but this whole section has me wondering what any of this has to do with Frank Tanana. The Giants have mainly used Penny in garbage time or late in extra inning games (he's come in the 11th or 12th inning 3 times in 10 appearances. Penny's presence in the pen might be a sign the Giants need relief help but a couple of poor performances in garbage time surely didn't. And I assume it wasn't K-Rod for Penny.
The one interesting tidbit is that Carlos Lee reportedly also rejected a trade to the Yankees.
There was some mention of a Jacoby Ellsbury/Josh Beckett to Texas trade. That's much more interesting than broken closers shuffling around.12. JJ1986 Posted: August 01, 2012 at 11:35 PM (#4198603)
The Giants bullpen had been nails since the All Star Break until Friday. Santiago Casilla did blow a game on the 18th, but they won that by 5 runs. I assume Rosenthal is talking about the 22nd, but Penny was the 5th pitcher used in that game.13. bfan Posted: August 02, 2012 at 07:46 AM (#4198673)
I swear, if Jeffrey Loria took his mother to an expensive Mother's Day brunch, he'd make her pay for it.
Was Loria not the owner of the Marlins in the off-season? Didn't they invest in 3 high-priced free agents, about 7 months ago,all of whom are still on the team?

Bell is only still on the team because no one would take him.
Bell is only still on the team because no one would take him.
And even if that is true (as opposed to they could not get fair value for him), does that mean that Reyes and Buerhle do not exist, or that they were not signed in the off-season?

The Sex, Death, and Travel Trilogy, submitted by Blackie. Former male stripper, Morgan D. Rosenberg, declares himself sexual adonis of the 21st century, writes page after page of rants about how all the women he's slept with are stupid whores who can't satisfy the cravings of his gargantuan penis. By studying Nelly lyrics, I think I finally understand what sex is. I clicked on this site expecting sensational tales of sex on the hoods of cars in the pouring rain. Instead I got a bunch of crap like this:
Before moving onto either the new sections or reading the last update (below), let me address two items of business. First, I was recently blown off by a woman named Karen Doyle. I know, I was surprised too ... this is ME we're talking about, after all. I, of course, don't condone my minions ... um, I mean "fans" ... committing acts of revenge in my name ... but if you do, I want to hear all about it. Her home address is:
TRANSLATION: BOO HOO GIRLS ARE TOTALLY MEAN AND STUFF! Pretty much all of the site is like this. It's almost emo in its whinyness.
My beloved Katt. Our marriage lasted a grand total of 6 weeks because we are, essentially, the same person. And when you hate yourself, you shouldn't marry someone just like you. It's a shame she had to die …
Oh, so you've killed some people, Morgan? Am I supposed to be impressed? You're nothing compared to me. You know why? Because I control the weather. That's right, all weather must bow before my every whim. Are you scared? You should be.
TOTAL WRECK - crazy-eyed hound is covered in cobwebs, has a vespiary on back, graffiti on side and savage thirst for boat fuel. Frankly, I'm in over my head. He's in room 115 at Motel 6, yours free. 555-2851
Yes, it's the perfect form for surviving a car crash. But it's also the perfect form for so much more, like surviving the trauma of reading any news headline in 2016.
Thirty games and a novel piece of hardware for sixty dollars? This is an insult to my honor.
Selling objects to the past, lighters, weed, etc. Pretty intriguing stuff.
Title of this one pretty much says it all. If it's what you're looking for, then uh, look no further
Awful Links of the Day spotlights the worst and weirdest websites on the internet. And we're not talking "weird" in a good way either.

News Picks : US particle-physics strategy likely to be hindered by budget
23 May 2014
Nature: On 22 May the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5), an advisory group for the US Department of Energy, released its first report since 2008. According to the report, the panel's biggest concern is maintaining the US's position at the forefront of particle physics despite collider shutdowns and tightening budgets. The panel strongly encourages continued US participation in CERN's Large Hadron Collider and the proposed International Linear Collider. The report also recommends turning the proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Facility at Fermilab into a large-scale international project. However, of the three budget possibilities P5 considered, its worst-case scenario is significantly better than President Obama's proposed FY 2015 budget, which would see a 6.8% decrease in funding to high-energy physics.

Brazil, Russia move closer to arms, technology deals
BRASILIA, (Reuters) – Brazil agreed yesterday to negotiate the purchase of Russian anti-aircraft missile batteries on the condition that Russia transfer the technology to Brazilian defense companies without restrictions.
The agreement was announced after Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev met with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff on a visit to Brazil to advance defense, energy and agricultural deals with a fellow member of the BRICS bloc of emerging nations.
Brazil is beefing up its air defenses before the World Cup soccer tournament next year and the 2016 Olympic Games to ward off the threat of a terrorist attack during the global sporting events, which will draw massive crowds of foreigners.
Brazil is interested in buying medium-range surface-to-air Pantsir S1 combined missile and artillery batteries and Igla-S shoulder-held missiles, as well as acquiring the technology to build the weapons itself in the future.
Contract negotiations will begin in March, the governments said in a signed statement that called for the effective and unrestricted transfer of technology to Brazilian defense companies. No values were mentioned.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Brazilian Armed Forces, General Jose Carlos de Nardi, said the contract would be signed in three months and the batteries would arrive in Brazil in time for the Olympics, but not the World Cup.
"The Olympic Games are a bigger defense concern because they take place in different locations of one city, while the World Cup is just one stadium in several cities," he told Reuters.
Medvedev's trip follows a visit by Rousseff to Moscow in December that underlined the importance both countries attach to building relations among BRICS countries.
The BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – account for one quarter of global GDP and 40 percent of the world's population. They have become increasingly vocal in criticizing developed nations' hold over international economic policies.
Ties between Brazil and Russia have been strengthening and Medvedev said the two countries aim to raise annual trade turnover to $10 billion from the current $6.5 billion.
Russia is touting its advanced energy expertise and technology to open business opportunities in Brazil's oil and gas industry. It also hopes to get involved in Brazil's plans to build new nuclear power stations to meet surging demand for electricity that has overwhelmed its generating capacity.
"An energy alliance would benefit our people and our companies," Medvedev said.
Brazilian officials said Medvedev's visit advanced talks to eliminate sanitary hurdles that are slowing Brazil's meat sales to Russia, its largest buyer.
As a sign of the two countries drawing closer, Brazil on Tuesday became the first country outside Russia to host a monitoring station for the Russian satellite navigation system GLONASS, a global positioning system that uses 24 satellites.

`Blair met Lakshmi Mittal over Kazakhstan deal`
London: Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair met Indian-origin billionaire Lakshmi Mittal and struck a deal worth eight million pounds ($13 million) to clean up the image of corruption-plagued Kazakhstan, a media report said Sunday.
Steel magnate Mittal -- who has donated more than four million pounds to Labour -- sat next to Blair at a meeting of "powerful" international businessmen in Kazakh capital Astana in May, the Daily Mail said.
Mittal is Britain`s richest man with a fortune of more than 20 billion pounds ($32 billion) and is the biggest employer in Kazakhstan. He employs 50,000 people there and is reportedly close to Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Mittal`s LNM steel company is, however, not British. It was registered in the Dutch Antilles and has less than one percent of its 100,000-plus workforce in Britain.
An adviser to the Kazakh president has said Blair opened an office in the capital.
"A large working group is here and, to my knowledge, it has already opened Tony Blair`s permanent office in Astana," said presidential adviser Yermukhamet Yertysbayev.
Kazakhstan is desperate to improve its image, which has been mocked as underdeveloped.
In leaked US diplomatic cables, Kazakhstan has been accused of being undemocratic, using torture and other abuse, arbitrary arrest and detention, restriction on free speech, corruption in law enforcement and the judicial system, discrimination and violence against women and people trafficking.
Despite this, Blair and close colleagues have made a number of visits there, said the Daily Mail.
Blair met Nazarbayev Jan 31, and reportedly discussed the establishment of new financial institutions.
"Tony Blair has helped put together a team of international advisers and consultants to set up an advisory group for the Kazakhs, with a team of people working on the ground. The work they are doing is excellent, sensible and supports the reforms they are making," said a spokesman for Blair.
"The Kazakhs also engage with a number of other former European leaders. Blair is not personally making a profit directly or indirectly through Tony Blair Associates or any company on this. He is not doing business in Kazakhstan," he said.
A spokesman for Mittal has declined to comment.
Mittal`s employees in Kazakhstan have accused him of "slave labour" conditions after a series of coal mining accidents between 2004 and 2007 which led to 91 deaths.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Beginning with The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury shaving cream. The Bluebeards Revenge range of products were developed by a real life 'Blue Beard' (defined as those who get a five o'clock shadow by lunchtime), who became fed up with the inability of the current crop of mass produced stuff to do a half decent job. So not satisfied with the status quo, got of his backside and created The Bluebeards Revenge 'For Real Men'.
Please note the ingredients below, if you are sensitive to any of them, best leave alone, eh? Ingredients: Ricinius communis seed oil, olea europaea fruit oil, benzyl benzoate, coumarin, hydroxyisohexyl, 3-cyclohexene, carboxaldehyde, limonene, linalool.

I normally prefer Art of Shaving oil, and I think I'll be going back to that after this has run out.
As Trumper is the only product I have used for pre-shave treatment since I began wet shaving with a DE safety razor, about 4 years ago, I wasn't sure what to expect.
At first touch, it was certainly more gloopy than the Trumper product and definitely went on thicker. It also doesn't have a very strong smell, slightly lemony, really. As I rubbed it into my stubble it seemed to get thicker and more resistant, and I was beginning to wonder whether it would actually provide for extra glide action.
After applying my Trumpers Sandalwood shaving soap and beginning to shave, by gum, it did present a better opportunity of a closer shave. When the shave was complete, I did not have to go over my usual trouble spots again; they were taken care of the first time around. And I didn't have my usual irritation that I get at my collar line on my throat area. I normally have to follow up with some alum block, but it was not needed this time.
I followed the shave up with Bluebeards Revenge post shave balm - will write that up as well - which I was pleasantly surprised by, too. So the Bluebeards Revenge lot have a new customer. It's too bad I have another two years left in my Trumpers shaving soap (which lasts forever, this is only my second one), or I should be sampling their other shaving products.
I wouldn't buy it again but judging by other peoples feed back many do like it.
You put it on before you apply your shaving foam/gel/cream of your choice and it helps the razor glide. I think its aimed at people who shave with a straight razor or safety razor rarther then a cartridge razor i.e mack3.
I now refuse to shave without putting this on first as now you really notice when you forget to apply it. I really recommend it anyone who wants to enjoy having a nice clean shave
I say this because its not a miracle solution to razor burn. I've always suffered with some razor burn, and still do using this. However, it certainly helps, and that's all I expected to be honest.
Bluebeards Revenge make some good grooming products. I can highly recommend the Scimitar razor too.
Its almost like an olive oil mixture and very little is needed to do the job.
Simply warm your face and apply and work it in. I've found it's best to apply it and leave it for a while as it works to soften up your hair and skin.
Now as with many techniques we all have our preferred method and for me leaving on for a while works well.

We usually stay at another hotel very nearby but the price was the same this trip so we stayed here. It is nicely decorated and for the price we felt like it was an overall success. The breakfast was substantial for a continental breakfast and we were pleased with our stay.
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Springfield, Dayton
Comfortable and clean
This was a good hotel for our stay with a clean and comfortable room and pleasant staff. Breakfast was typical hotel fare but convenient when wanting to get on the road early. We'd stay here again.

Paul Allen and the Underthinkers
Everywhere at Once
US: 6 Aug 2013
UK: Import
Just the notion that one of the richest people in the world is releasing a major-label debut doesn't lend itself to unbiased criticism. In fact, I wanted to hate Everywhere at Once before even listening to it, just because of the money thing. I mean, what does a guy with the resources that Paul Allen has need with a major label? After a few deep breaths, and a good listen to the album, I had to ask myself two questions:
1. Does the material, performance, and production stand on its own?
2. Is the finished product worthy of major-label attention?
The answer to both are a resounding yes, thanks to the assistance from a bevy of rock's ambassadors, and one hell of a production team in Doyle Bramhall II and Justin Stanley. This is a quality release of blues-rock that's enjoyable from start to finish, and the songwriting from Allen and his collaborators are paired well with their guest performers. "Healing Hands", "Pictures of a Dream", "Divine", and "Straw Into Gold" are just some of the highlights. The album as a whole is just a big, wonderful surprise. Start to finish.

Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies were performed to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the investigational metastin analogue, TAK-683, in healthy men.
We first investigated a single subcutaneous (s.c.) dose of TAK-683 (0.01–2.0 mg) in 60 subjects (TAK-683, n = 42; placebo, n = 18). We then assessed a single s.c. bolus of 0.03–1.0 mg TAK-683 on day 1, followed by a 0.01–2.0 mg day−1 continuous infusion on days 2–13, to simulate a depot formulation, in 30 subjects (TAK-683, n = 25; placebo, n = 5) for 14 days.
TAK-683 was well tolerated up to a dose of 2.0 mg day−1 by continuous s.c. infusion for 14 days. Adverse events were similar between TAK-683 and placebo subjects at all dose levels. TAK-683 plasma concentrations generally increased in proportion to dose with single and continuous dosing, with steady-state concentrations achieved by day 2 of continuous dosing. TAK-683 at 2.0 mg day−1 suppressed testosterone below castration level (<50 ng dl−1) in four of five subjects by day 7 of continuous dosing. Luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone concentrations were suppressed with TAK-683 continuous dosing compared with placebo by up to 70 and 43%, respectively, but this was not consistently dose-dependent.
In healthy men, s.c. administration of TAK-683 was well tolerated at all dose levels. The PK profile of TAK-683 was favourable, and TAK-683 suppressed testosterone profoundly during continuous dosing. Further investigation of metastin analogues is warranted for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer.

RESIDENTS have been evacuated from their houses after a 70-year-old motorist smashed into a gas mains before his car flipped onto its roof in Chorley Old Road.
The crash happened at about 11.30am leaving the driver trapped inside the car near the junction with Montserrat Road.
Firefighters managed to pull the man from the vehicle, and he was taken to hospital. He was said to be "conscious and responsive".
The silver Toyota damaged a gas main in the incident and residents living nearby have been evacuated from their homes.
Nearby resident Adrian Wilmot, aged 52, said: "I was working in my garage when I heard a loud bang.
"I ran out to see the car whizz past before hitting a lamp post and flipping onto its roof.
"I ran to the car and could see the man inside. He was unconscious at the time and I was concerned because the car was smoking."
Mr Wilmot said a female passerby stayed with the driver as he came back to consciousness, before he was checked by paramedics and taken to hospital.
He said firefighters then used gas detectors to determine that gas had leaked into the area and residents are now unable to go back into their houses while the issue is dealt with.

Nice room. Easy shuttle to airport.Posted Jun 24, 2016
Nice, large room with separate sitting area. Would be nice to have a TV in the sitting area, but it was still very nice. Good size fridge could fit our small pizza boxes in there! Microwave, coffee all good. Great for the price. Breakfast: good but I took the last 2 strips of bacon and last scoop of eggs. 20 minutes later they still hadn't refilled the bacon for the other guests. Mind you, breakfast was from 6-9 since it was a weekday, and this was at about 6:15. The lady was kinda sassy when I reminded her about the bacon because I felt bad for the other guests. All the hotel staff was very nice except 1 lady who worked on Wednesday until about 11:30. She was so so, but not friendly like the other workers. The shuttle service was great. The room was very nice and comfortable if you don't mind loud ac noises (I don't mind), but it's right next to the bed which I didn't like because that bed was freezing if you wanted to keep the room cool. The pool was kinda yucky. Lots of bugs in it, and it looked old. Water was too warm like a tub bath, but can't be helped since it was like 110° that day. There was only 1 washer and dryer. It didn't affect us because no on else was using it, but it would suck if there were others wanting to use the laundry since only 1 machine each. Overall, for the cost, it was much nicer than I expected. We travel a lot and have been to many hotels. This was a good buy and we would stay here again because of the room. Only 1 elevator.

It is a lot better than 3 starsPosted Jun 15, 2016
Pros: It was clean and the staff was excellent
Cons: I am an early riser and coffee in breakfast room a little earlier would be nice.
Location: I was their on business but it was close to everything I needed and plenty of restaurants nearby.
This place was way more than a 3 star do not let the price fool you! The staff was excellent helpful around every turn. I do not travel that often but have a lot in past. I will be staying in this hotel again in a couple of weeks. It is a great place to hang your hat for a few days.

CHESTER, England, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Three quarters of motorists admit to being distracted behind the wheel[1]
- One in 10 driving convictions is for using a mobile phone while driving[2]
The UK is a nation of 'distracted drivers'. Three-quarters of motorists admit to taking their eyes off the road, increasing their risk of being involved in an accident, says MoneySupermarket.com.
Research by the UK's number one comparison site found three quarters of motorists (76 per cent) have been distracted while driving, endangering themselves and those around them.[1] Over half of those surveyed (54 per cent) admitted to changing music while driving; 47 per eat, 47 per cent drink, and a further one in six (16 per cent) send texts from a mobile phone. A shocking six per cent admitted to using apps on a smartphone or tablet, updating their Facebook status or tweeting.
The research also found that motorists, as well as distracting themselves, are easily distracted by others. Over a third of people (35 per cent) admitted to being distracted by children or other passengers and one in five (20 per cent) said a good-looking person made them take their eyes off the road.
Kevin Pratt, car insurance expert at MoneySupermarket.com said "We all lead busy lives and find ourselves trying to multi-task, even when driving. But motorists need to be vigilant as taking your eyes off the road for only a second could have disastrous consequences for yourself and other motorists and pedestrians. Using a mobile phone to text, call or tweet when behind the wheel is not only very dangerous but also illegal."
Convicted drivers rife on the roads
Further analysis of over 14 million car insurance quotes run on the site over 12 months as part of the MoneySupermarket Monitor on Car Insurance,[2] found the total number of actual driving convictions declared on insurance quotations was 2,724,948 (or 19.3 per cent). Ten per cent of those were for using a mobile phone while driving.
Of that 10 per cent there was a heavy bias in gender. Male drivers were found to be the most likely to get caught using their phone behind the wheel holding 72 per cent of the convictions versus just 28 per cent of women.
A further breakdown of the searches reveals those aged 30-39 years old had the highest conviction rate for mobile phone use at 1.63 per thousand, closely followed by 25-29 year olds with a rate of 1.57 per thousand. Those aged 17-19 and then 50 and over are more cautious and are least likely to be caught behind the wheel using their phone. Drivers in south and mid Scotland are most guilty of this offence, registering a rate of 2.1 and 2.0 per thousand respectively, while those in the South West of England are least likely to get caught, with only 0.71 per thousand registering a conviction.
Kevin Pratt concluded: "If you are caught driving while using a mobile phone you run the risk of not only receiving a £60 fine and three penalty points on your licence, but it is also likely to increase your insurance premium by a substantial sum. Our analysis shows convicted drivers can expect their insurance premiums to increase by 20 per cent or £92 a year on average as a result.[2]
"Motorists should not only keep their eyes on the road but on their insurance premium as well. On average, motorists save themselves around £394 by shopping around for their insurance premiums through MoneySupermarket.com."[3]
Notes to editors:
[1] Research undertaken by Opinium Research based on an online of 2,012 British UK adult drivers (18+) carried out 2 - 6 July 2011. Results have been weighted to a nationally representative criteria.

Percentage of Driving Distraction motorists Changed stations on the radio/changed CD/ changed music on my IPOD 54% Had a drink 47% Eaten a snack 47% Made calls on a non hands-free mobile phone 16% Sent text messages on a mobile phone 16% Slowed down to watch accidents 21% Been romantic 8% Applied aftershave/perfume/lipstick/make-up 7% Fall asleep/ doze 4% Used apps on my smartphone/tablet computer 3% Updated my profile/been on facebook via my mobile phone/smart phone 3% Tweeted via my mobile phone/smart phone 1% Other 1% None of these 22%
Top distractions that have happened to motorists when driving
Percentage of Driving Distraction motorists Been distracted by what is happening on the street 38% Been distracted by others in the car e.g. children, friends 35% Taken a phone call 28% Been distracted by animals 25% Been distracted by good looking people 20% Been distracted by SatNav 18% Been distracted by nice cars 13% Been distracted by advertising 12% Other 1% None of these 28%
Two per cent of those surveyed said they have been convicted or fined for doing one of the above whilst driving.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

In order to derive business value, organizations must unlock insights from the data gathered and then act on these. In their session at @ThingsExpo, Eric Hoffman, Vice President at EastBanc Technologies, and Peter Shashkin, Head of Development Department at EastBanc Technologies, discussed how one organization leveraged IoT, cloud technology and data analysis to improve customer experiences and effi...

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it? Certainly the fog layer of IoT requires special insights about data ontology, security and transactional integrity. But the developmental challenges are the same: People, Process and Platform and how we integrate our thinking to solve complicated problems. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Craig Sproule, CEO of Metavine, will demonstrate how to move beyond today's coding paradigm ...

Big Data engines are powering a lot of service businesses right now. Data is collected from users from wearable technologies, web behaviors, purchase behavior as well as several arbitrary data points we'd never think of. The demand for faster and bigger engines to crunch and serve up the data to services is growing exponentially. You see a LOT of correlation between "Cloud" and "Big Data" but on Big Data and "Hybrid," where hybrid hosting is the sanest approach to the Big Data Infrastructure pro...

Designing a heat sink based on a phase change material (PCM) under cyclic loading is a critical issue. For cyclic operation, it is required that the fraction of the PCM melting during the heating cycle should completely resolidify during the cooling period, so that that thermal storage unit can be operated for an unlimited number of cycles. Accordingly, studies are carried out to find the parameters influencing the behavior of a PCM under cyclic loading. A number of parameters are identified in the process, the most important ones being the duty cycle and heat transfer coefficient (h) for cooling. The required h or the required cooling period for complete resolidification for infinite cyclic operation of a conventional PCM-based heat sink is found to be very high and unrealistic with air cooling from the surface. To overcome this problem, the conventional design is modified where h and the area exposed to heat transfer can be independently controlled. With this arrangement, the enhanced area provided for cooling keeps h within realistic limits. Analytical investigation is carried out to evaluate the thermal performance of this modified PCM-based heat sink in comparison to those with conventional designs. Experiments are also performed on both the conventional and the modified PCM-based heat sinks to validate the new findings.

Making Your Website an Archive or Catalog Your Own
Have you ever felt like technology was jerking you around. You do your website then pick a perfectly great theme and then you just get everything in place when poof, the theme authors decide that it needs changing. They want to redo everything and there you are starting all over again with figuring out how to make it work for YOU. Then there is Facebook Feed Changes, Instagram telling you who you should see, Twitter, Pinterest, …. and who knows what else. (more…)
Taking Off ~ the ground
Last week was a crammed pack one with the added work of a major gallery redesign which wasn't planned but necessary so… just getting back on track. Had another great modeling session on Sunday with Jade and we are really cooking… So many things in the coming line up already my mind is whirling. So I'm resuming at the easel with my "A Life in Balance" piece and hopefully will have a little update tomorrow. Wow, my feet are no longer nailed to the ground now!
"The Thing with Feathers – Hope" is Finished…
I finally finished the painting "The Thing with Feathers – Hope" at the moment, until I futz some more, so I'm entering it and crossing my fingers. I just painted and didn't film the ending because it was just tweaking and refining edges, tones. (more…)
