triggering with jerks and falls
Submitted by chinmayisk (@csk) on Oct 27, 2014
To learn how to use a phonefall or a jerk on a phone as trigger points for your android application.
Though android has libraries for most things. It has no public libraries to detect phone movements like a jerk or a fall .There are hardly any API's to detect and differentiate between a fall and a jerk.We(me and my colleagues) wrote a library recently for one of our apps using the whitepapers available and understanding Physics involved. Hence we will be talking about how you can write one by talking about the following :
1.What are the various sensors available ( including but not limited to accelerometer).
2.The physics involved
3.Determining thresholds.

Hi Chinmayi, curious is 15 min is enough to cover this topic. Would a full talk be more appropriate?
chinmayisk (@csk) Proposer
no i might be a little short of time to cover everything .. but the next slot is 40 mins and that would be too much ..

Mahindra Comviva Selects the Radisys T-Series Ultra Platform
Telecom-grade T-Series Ultra Platform provides the architecture needed for Mahindra Comviva to enable a major Middle Eastern service provider to manage and monetize network traffic
HILLSBORO, OR, U.S. – November 13, 2014: Radisys®Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), a market leader enabling wireless infrastructure solutions,today announced that Mahindra Comviva, the global leader in providing mobility solutions, has selected Radisys' T-40 Series Ultra Platform to deliver its Mobile Data Platform (MDP), consisting of Policy Control Enforcement Function (PCEF), Policy Charging & Rules Function (PCRF) and Mobile Internet Gateway (MIG), for its customer, a Tier1 Middle Eastern service provider. Radisys' T-40 standards-based, telecom-grade platform delivers increased reliability and high availability that enables Mahindra Comviva to collocate the entire MDP with PCEF, PCRF and MIG onto a single system, thereby reducing the cost, power and footprint. Mahindra Comviva will roll out the T-40 Ultra in Q4 2014.
The Middle Eastern region has one of the highest mobile penetration rates in the world at 97 percent, which is 19 points higher than the world average. Mobile operators in the region are experiencing bandwidth constraints due to this large volume of subscribers combined with exploding traffic demand. To help its Tier1 customer manage and monetize this traffic, Mahindra Comviva turned to Radisys' T-Series Ultra Platform to deploy its MDP into the network. The T-Series Ultra Platform's in-system load balancing capabilities enabled Mahindra Comviva to deliver increased performance, added functionality and greater traffic processing to its customers.
"Radisys' award-winning T-Series platform and close collaboration with Radisys' engineering team enabled us to offer our Mobile Data Platform on carrier-grade and open standards-based ATCA hardware. This has reduced the overall TCO for our service provider customers by 30 percent," said Ganesh Jayadevan, SVP, Messaging and Broadband Solutions, Mahindra Comviva. "With Radisys T-Series solution, we now have a platform to cost-effectively scale to hundreds of gbps in traffic and address the growing data needs of our customers."
Mahindra Comviva's award-winning MDP with PCEF, MIG and PCRF enables a trio of benefits for network service providers: Manage. Optimize. Monetize. (M.O.M.). Mahindra Comviva's PCEF enables operators to manage and prioritize business-critical and higher revenue traffic streams over non-critical traffic. The MIG allows operators to improve their entire data network capacity, efficiency and performance by dynamically optimizing usage of network resources with real-time policies based on multiple parameters such as network, subscriber, congestion levels, usage context, etc. With PCRF's sophisticated real-time rating engine, operators can discover unexplored revenue streams through service innovation and targeted and flexible plans. Mahindra Comviva's PCRF provides real-time policies that provide effective billing management features, such as tiered plans and flexible services creation, to help providers monetize their services.
"We are pleased that our partnership with Mahindra Comviva has helped them create a new business model and achieve a significant customer win in the Middle East," said Keate Despain, vice president, business development, Radisys. "In addition, our T-Series Platforms are enabled for Software-Defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualization, for future virtualized network implementations."

Hello, we are a young company of drywall & renovation experts. We have European roots and 15 years construction experience. The goal of our company is to make the customers happy by providing quality work and modern design suggestions.
We will never allow businesses to pay for review alterations, editing, or removals. Published reviews have undergone strict examination to avoid fraudulent/fake review posting. Learn more.
We hired Sergiu at the start of Jan. 2017 for basement work with timeline 6 to 8 weeks. The contract wasn't as detailed as we'd like but he said not to worry at the time.
He was great to work with at the start, his worker kept the area clean & worked alone for the most part. The job was delayed by approx. 2 weeks due to a foundation leak but I was able to bring in other companies to fix the problem efficiently. We also had to make some changes here & there as we went along like any basement job will go through. We even got him to install a garburator on the main floor during his time, which we paid for separately.
The electrician he hired, had caused our hot water to stop working, which he fixed the next morning. We also had an issue with our shaw gateway due to the basement work, which the electrician came to try to fix, but couldn't. (Shaw came 3 days later & fixed the issue in 5 minutes & said it was caused by work done by the Shaw Box in the Electrical Panel). He never once mentioned he would be charging us to come by before coming & volunteered & was eager to come at 7 PM to fix the TV, even when I told him that the morning will be fine. I mentioned this to Sergiu, & he said he will talk with the electrician as we shouldn't have been charged for those issues. The final invoice contained work done on the Garburator, Hot Water, TV & Speakers. Sergiu & I came to an agreement on how to deal with it. The Hot Water & TV issues will be covered by Sergiu. Garburator work was covered by me. & any additional basement work will be discussed & paid for by me at the end of the job.
On April 3, Sergiu asked for a $2940 payment that wasn't part of the signed contract to pay for carpet & tiles. I didn't hesitate to let him know to send me the invoice & I will e-transfer him the money.
On Monday, April 3, he also sent me a text to let me know that he is waiting for an answer from the ceiling texture guy for coming on Tuesday or Wednesday. On Tuesday, April 4, he said the ceiling texture guys are coming today, & to confirm where we want the texture. I replied 2 minutes later saying that we don't want to texture the ceiling & go with flat everywhere. This is a change to the signed contract, as it states texture ceiling, & Sergiu messaged me that this will be the same cost either way. I said OK. (See rest of review for the reason this is mentioned).
I asked on April 6 how the schedule is looking & he said about 2 weeks.
April 11th, the Electrician installed the lights, they were a warm white color (light orange color), I mentioned to Sergiu that this doesn't match the main floor lights as we discussed before we started any work, as they are brighter white. Although not written in the contract as white lights, we mentioned that we want bright lights in the basement the same as upstairs when we discussed the scope of work at the start.
April 19th, I asked Sergiu about the possibility of finishing 4 windows without trim & he gave me the cost if we choose to do that & I messaged him to stop work on trimming the last 2 windows for now. I wanted to figure out a path forward with my wife. I also messaged to ask him how much longer they will need to finish the basement, & he said about 2 weeks. I messaged back that it has taken longer than expected, atleast 16 weeks).
Today, Thursday, April 20, I got a message at 10:45 AM that he has stopped working. Saying that we are wanting all the changes for free, & that we don't want to pay for them & that he hopes we get it done how we like without him.
I don't accept paying for things that weren't caused by myself (ie. Hot Water & TV issues) or that were installed incorrectly (warm lights vs white lights) as explained above. He is changing his story now to fit his reasoning for leaving the job last minute. The basement is incomplete & now I have to find another contractor to attempt to finish the job.
The $2940 payment for the carpet and tiles was used for $500 deposit on carpet, and when I asked him to pay/return the $2440 for the rest of the carpet payment, he said he used it to pay the electrician instead. UPDATE: After messaging Sergiu on Sunday, April 23, asking for carpet payment by Tuesday or having my lawyer involved, the carpet was paid for by Sergiu on Monday, April 24.
Lesson learned: Make sure you have all the details you require for any work written in contract before signing, preferably with price breakdown.
UPDATE (May 19, 2017):
Sergiu (Drywall Reno & Experts) was paid everything required as per our signed contract. When he quit on April 20th, there was only one last payment left for when the job is well done. On Tuesday, May 16, his subcontractor, Drews Electric Inc, messaged me to let me know that there is an outstanding amount for my project and that there will be a construction lien placed on my property until his bill is paid. I messaged him that I'm sorry Sergiu has decided to not pay you, but I have paid Sergiu everything as per our contract that I signed with him. Sergiu doesn't plan on paying him telling him that I haven't paid him for electrical.
Save yourself the headaches and don't use Sergiu from "Drywall and Reno Experts Inc." or his subcontractor Anthony (Tony) Drew from "Drews Electric Inc". The work was left unfinished and was unprofessional with many deficiencies.
Sergiu and his team are just finishing up and, let me tell you, they were fantastic. I'm starting a personal training business from home and wanted to use my garage as the training space. It was pretty much bare concrete walls to begin with. I got a few quotes from some contractors and Sergiu beat the other quotes by a landslide. Not only was his quote more reasonable, but he stuck to it, was timely and did high quality work. They also kept a very tidy workspace. Some of the work included:
- framing, insulating and drywall
- Replacing a window and a door,
- a bunch of electrical work
- installing a beautiful drop ceiling.
Sergiu was easy to get along with, trustworthy and flexible with my needs. I probably wasn't the easiest client because I didn't really know what I wanted. He gave me advice and I trusted his professional opinion. I just moved into my house a few months ago and I look forward to hiring Sergiu in the future for a bunch of future renovations! I'm so happy I found these guys.
Hire Drywall and Reno Experts for your next project. You won't be disappointed.
Drywall and Reno Experts did a very good job of removing ceiling, and wall between 2 bedrooms to create an art studio. They replaced the drywall and completed the ceiling with a texture finish and LED pot lights. Walls and floor were repaired. They installed cabinet frame with countertop, sink and plumbing. Serge and his team were pleasant and the project was on budget and on time. We would hire them again.
We recently hired Drywall and Renovation Experts for a full basement development. We were very pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of Sergiu and team. The work was completed within the time indicated on the contract and came in right on budget. The development was completed to the exact specifications that we discussed when the estimate and contract were completed. We had asked 2 times for additional work and the price and timelines were discussed in advance of the work and also came in right on budget. We would definitely use Drywall and Renovation Experts again!

The best way to get a job in L.A. is through your connections! But what if you don't have any? Well, UVAELA is a good place to start. As we grow, more aspects of the entertainment industry will be represented by its members, which will make it easier down the road for recent graduates. Until then, if you are trying to break into television or film, try to get your hands on the elusive UTA Job List. Ask the people you do know. They might not have it, but someone they know might. In the meantime, you can check the following websites:
1) www.EntertainmentCareers.net
2) www.ShowBizJobs.com
These have industry job listings, some postings are free but you may need to pay a monthly fee to have access to the "hot" job postings. This should be helpful until you get the UTA list.
3) www.ProductionAlertUSA.com
This site is more costly, but it has great contact information for all of the tv shows, pilots and films in production. There are different subscription rates available.
To tie you over until you get your desired position – everyone's got to pay the bills – try temping. There are a number of placement agencies that handle temp and permanent job placement for the big studios. Click on the link here to see the list of entertainment placement agencies. Temp jobs tend to pay better than P.A. jobs and the hours are better. Plus there's a good chance you'll get on one of the studio lots. As you get to know people either in the placement agency or in the offices where you may temp, you will not only get an idea of what you want to do, but you'll be able to start establishing a network. You can let people know what you really want to do and if they like you, they will keep you in mind if such a position becomes open.
Want to Work in TV?
If you want to work on a TV show (where the show is actually filmed), but don't have an easy in to your desired department, then a good job to start with is a production assistant (PA) position. If you want to work for a production company, which developing shows, then you want an entry-level or assistant position.
Note: Production companies have their own production assistants, but these positions are typically referred to as "Runners" because you spend your time running errands and getting food, much like a PA, except you're in an office that develops shows versus a tv show production office which produces/films the show. Set PA's actually work on the sound stage or set of the show, monitoring the doors to make sure people don't enter and exit when the tape is rolling and doing any sort of miscellaneous things. Production Office PA's are in the Production Office for a tv show and run errands for the production office – copying scripts, distributing call sheets, delivering scripts, buying groceries for the production office fridge, going to the post office, etc. Typically, you need to be a P.A. before you can get a Set PA job as there are things you need to know that you can only learn from experience as a PA.
Here is a standard production office hierarchy:
Line Producer
Associate Producer (AP)
Production Coordinator
Assistant Production Coordinator (APOC)
Production Assistant (PA)
If you're able to get a job as a PA, but aren't sure if it's strategically the best thing for you, well, go with your gut. If you want to work in television, if you get that thrill when you walk on a lot and know that this is where you need to be, whether or not you have your dream job, then stick with it. If you work hard, smile, do what you're told and do it efficiently, people will notice and will remember you when they are staffing up for next season. The hours are too long and stressful to work with irritating people, so Hollywood tends to hire people they know they like. If you want to be a writer, actor, prop master, work in casting, post production, wardrobe or make-up, you will make contacts who will help you get into those departments and positions. Regardless, you will learn invaluable information that only comes from experience.
If you land on a show you like you are lucky, because then you won't mind the long hours and low pay as much. You will get to know lots of people (crew and staff) who will help you get your next job, either with that show or another and it will give you perspective and will help you determine the path you want to follow. Plus, production jobs don't last forever, so if you don't like it, you can always find something else the next season.

Let's Get Real about Learning
The primary reason instructors are interested in integrating real world tasks into the classroom stems from a belief that learning that emulates real life is more likely to promote student motivation, engagement, transfer of learning, and professional development. Students who learn decontextualized knowledge are likely to be able to answer items on a test, but often struggle to apply what they have learned when attempting to solve real problems. In this post, I would like to discuss the following three questions related to real-world/authentic tasks
- What is an authentic task?
- Why should we use authentic tasks?
- How can we create authentic tasks?
What is an Authentic Task?
Simply speaking, an authentic task is a task that requires students to use knowledge and skills learned to solve a problem in a real context. Let's use the example of teaching instructional design. If an instructor asks a student, "What is instructional design?" or "What does the ADDIE model consist of?" then these questions could be called textbook tasks or exercises. If the instructor asks the student, "How can you use instructional design to help ABC Company solve its performance problem?" or "Students in the XYZ class have a low motivation on math, could you help the math teacher to enhance student motivation?" Then these questions are authentic tasks. Therefore, an authentic task is a real-world task in a learning context and has a potential to engage students in action and reflection.
Some scholars examined authentic tasks from the perspective of situated cognition. Gulikers, Bastiaens, and Kirschner (2004, p. 71) argued that an authentic task is "a problem task that confronts students with activities that are also carried out in professional practice." Brown, Collins, and Duguid (1989, p. 34) simply defined it as "the ordinary practices of a culture." Therefore, an authentic task, in contrast to an academic task, reflects the way knowledge will be used in real life and allows a student to demonstrate performance as a community of practice does in the real context.
Why Should We Use Authentic Tasks?
The first reason that an authentic task works for learning and transfer is that it builds a connection between practice and theory. Authentic tasks provide an opportunity to apply knowledge in the real world, so that knowledge is not inert on paper, but a tool to change the world. It reminds me of a Chinese idiom, "fighting only on paper" which refers to a knowledgeable strategist who failed in the real war against enemy. Moreover, the connection between theory and practice forces students to deal with complex issues in reality and therefore results in higher-order thinking, like synthesis, analysis, evaluation, and longer retention and transfer of knowledge.
Second, an authentic task acts as a "strange attractor" as it is called in complexity theory. An authentic task situates and integrates discrete experience, knowledge, and skills. Moreover, activities around the authentic task are goal-oriented. If learning is seen as a dynamic and complex process, authentic tasks lead to the generation of emergence and self-organization. Knowledge is more likely to transfer when it is organically related and when it is applied purposefully.
Third, authentic tasks trigger and sustain student motivation. An authentic task provides a starting point for learning, which considers each learner's previous experience and personal life relevance.
How Can We Create Authentic Tasks?
To construct an authentic task, the most important principle is to keep learner-centered and problem-solving oriented. However, allowing students to choose their own problems does not necessarily lead to an authentic task (Savery & Duffy, 1995). The initial task must be negotiated and discussed in terms of cognitive challenges. Herrington, Oliver, and Reeves (2003) offered ten features of authentic tasks, which could also serve as design principles and criteria. A qualified authentic task is:
- ill-structured
- has real-world relevance
- requires a sustained period
- yields a polished artifact
- allows multiple approaching
- covers interdisciplinary knowledge
- is open-ended
- integrates with authentic assessment
- encourages team-working
- facilitates reflective activities.
The authenticity of a task should be still maintained even after the task has been assigned. As Barab, Squire, and Dueber (2000) argued, authenticity lies in "the learner-perceived relations between the practices they are carrying out and the use value of these practices" (p. 38). When students are undertaking the task, the teacher should coach and scaffold in the way of a cognitive apprenticeship or community of practice so that authenticity could be continued. Finally, the authentic task should be also evaluated with criteria resembling a real life situation.
An authentic task is important for both learning and transfer. For learning, an authentic task allows a learner to organize and situate learning experience, to encounter and apply knowledge, and to increase motivation. For transfer, an authentic task enables a learner to bridge the learning context and the real-world context, to search for similarities mindfully, and to build an interrelated knowledge structure.
However, it should be noted here that real contexts and authentic tasks are important, but not enough. A learner also needs to be able to decontextualize an abstract experience for transfer. Abstract knowledge is economic and has its power. Let's think about E=m*c2 or R=U/I. It reminds me of dialectical epistemology in which knowing and learning is a recursive and developmental process from practice to theory, then theory to practice. Effective teaching should balance and "commute" between theory and practice and between concreteness and abstractness.

text: The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Formation is an organic-rich mudrock of economic significance for oil and gas exploration. In order to facilitate a better understanding of paleoceanographic conditions during Eagle Ford deposition, this study integrates the isotope chemistry of bulk organic matter with inorganic geochemical data. Measurements of total organic carbon (TOC), total N, , and inorganic major, and trace elements were taken from 166 Eagle Ford and Pepper Formation outcrop samples from McLennan County, central Texas. These data reveal the chemostratigraphic character and the evolution of Cretaceous seawater chemistry on the Texas shelf and allowed the identification of six distinct chemofacies that are useful for correlation purposes. Based on these data, changing paleoredox conditions were documented ranging from normal marine (oxic) conditions associated with the Pepper Formation, anoxic conditions associated with the Lower Eagle Ford Formation, suboxic conditions associated with most of the upper Eagle Ford, and then a return to normal marine conditions at the top of the Eagle Ford Formation. The high TOC content of the Lower Eagle Ford was most likely caused by high productivity that in turn drove conditions to anoxia. Geochemical data that correlate well with TOC were used to identify intervals of potential organic enrichment.

Lungleg – Right Now Baby! (1997)
When I wrote about Gilded Lil a while back, I noted a dearth of online evidence with regard to many Central Belt mid-nineties DIY bands and labels.
We're talking largely pre-internet, of course, so this isn't all that surprising, but what came as a complete delight was the discovery of an up-to-date Facebook page for glamorous Glasgow indie-punks Lungleg. Said page doubles as an ace mini archive for the band who operated between 1994-1999: pics, music, line-up, biog, Peel Session info, the lot.
Lungleg were contemporaries of Pink Kross (I think LL and PK once played King Tut's with Kenickie) and The Yummy Fur (the former's Jane Egypt aka McKeown was the sister of the latter's John / Jackie; Franz Ferdinand later raved about their '97 debut album's title track, Maid to Minx).
Their myriad scrappy noise-pop releases included two Melody Maker Singles of the Week, plus split releases with El Hombre Trajeado (RM Hubbert truly is entrenched in Glasgow's DIY history) and one-time US touring partners The Make-up.
Lungleg officially split in 1999, but their post-punk spirit and pop-trash aesthetic lives on via Peter Parker – more of whom, no doubt, anon.
If you have any information about Lungleg or any other Glasgow / Edinburgh nineties DIY bands, please get in touch!

What makes a great speaker?
"Only you speak the way you do"
This is a good question, but it is also a very broad one. I find it easier to think through examples. So I would like to ask instead: Who is YOUR favourite speaker?
- Are they famous? Or are they someone you know?
- Do they speak English or are they from your own country?
- What do you like about their voice?
- Do they speak quickly or slowly?
- Are they loud or quiet? Or are they somewhere in the middle?
- Do they have a low voice or a high voice?
- Do they have an accent?
I ask all of these questions because it is very important to think about what we like. The thing is: different people like different things. Plus what we like changes in different situations. For example, I like folk music, my friend likes rap music. I like to listen to dance music on the bus, but I like to listen to classical music before I go to bed.
Does that make one kind of music better than the other?
No. I don't think so.
So, do you think that one speaker is better than the other?
Is your favourite speaker the same as mine?
When I think about my favourite speakers, I can't think of the ONE thing that makes them great. They are all so different. Both in the way they speak and how they sound. Yet, they are all great. I like them all.
So it makes me wonder: we are all so unique. You have one voice to speak to the world. Only you can speak the way you do. So maybe it's possible to like the way you speak too.
This is not always easy when you are a non-native speaker. I know the pain and embarrassment of having an accent that people a) don't understand and/or b) find 'really cute/funny/stupid.' So, it's ok, I've been there.* But please don't let this stop you from speaking. You will never improve your speaking skills if you are embarrassed by the way you speak.
So now I have realised: the thing that makes my favourite speakers great is that they just speak.
That's all you have to do to become a great speaker. Of course, there are other things that are nice (being clear, speaking with passion, speaking at a nice speed). These are qualities that I want to talk about in later posts.
Until then, though, just try speaking. Speak to your friends, speak to your family, speak to your colleagues. If no one is there, speak to yourself! You are your ideal partner: you don't need to get embarrassed about your mistakes (no one can hear them). Plus no one can tell you to shut up, so you can talk as much as you want!
So go on, give it a go, have a try. Just speak. You are already great. Now practice being great.
* 'I've been there' is an expression which means ' I have had the same experience so I know how you feel.'

It's time for our "Morons of the Month" feature, and I must say, this might be one of the strangest collection of medal winners ever assembled.
Bronze medal
One account of would-be criminal Anthony Sorrells' poor decision-making may have said it best:
"Yeah, you're a special kind of stupid," wrote Michael Gibson of Townsquare Media about Sorrells, an 18-year-old Chicago resident.
Sorrells stole a cellphone and additional items -- at gun point, no less -- but was later tracked down with relative ease.
It seems Sorrells had placed an order for food delivery from the victim's phone, which by that time police already were monitoring. Sorrells ultimately was arrested and denied bail after it was discovered he recently had been released on bond for a burglary charge. Oh, and he also was in the process of having a bullet removed from a shooting.
No argument about that all adding up to a special kind of stupid.
Silver medal
WPLG, an ABC television station in southern Florida, said that not only did Yvelande Jean-Pierre, 29, think it would be wise to break into a Boynton Beach police station, but she topped it off by eating an officer's lunch once she was inside.
According to the police report, the lunch Jean-Pierre stole was chicken and asparagus. And no, Jean-Pierre did not eat the vegetables.
Jean-Pierre proved easy to find after she inadvertently left her wallet and Florida ID outside the station. She later was located and arrested on the charge of criminal mischief.
No reason was provided why Jean-Pierre thought it was a good idea to break into the police station in the first place.
Gold medal
OK, this simply might be more humorous than moronic. I'll let my agricultural buddies cast the deciding vote.
Reuters reports there is now a Tinder-inspired app that is helping European farmers match up potential partners for their cattle. It's called "Tudder" -- a combo of the words Tinder, a dating app, and udder.
Farmers are directed to the SellMyLivestock website where they can browse pictures and data about the animals before deciding whether to buy. Information like milk yield and calving potential is provided by Doug Bairner, CEO of Hectare Agritech, which runs SellMyLivestock.
"Matching livestock online is even easier than it is to match humans because there's a huge amount of data that sits behind these wonderful animals that predicts what their offspring will be," Bairner said.
Launched just prior to Valentine's Day, the makers believe Tudder is the first-ever matchmaking app for livestock.
Moronic or genius? We should know by next Valentine's Day.

Four benefits cheats have found themselves before the courts after town hall staff uncovered swindles totalling thousands of pounds.
Manchester council secured convictions against the crooks in four separate cases.
Among the offenders was Lindsay Ferguson who took housing benefits worth over £2,000 from the council after moving out of the area.
Ferguson, 23, formerly of Sidmouth Drive, Blackley, admitted fraudulently obtaining £2,255 in payments to her bank account, after failing to inform town hall officers she had moved to Lyndhurst Avenue, Irlam, in May 2009. She was fined £180 and ordered to pay another £150 in costs by Manchester magistrates.
In another case, Paul Jeffers, 41, formerly of Spindletree Avenue, Blackley - and now of Chorlton Street, Old Trafford - also failed to tell the council when he moved out of the area. He was handed a six month community sentence and a bill for £150 costs after admitting dishonestly taking just under £1,000 housing benefit payments between April and August 2009.
Council staff discovered a third con following a tip off from a member of the public on the city's fraud hotline. Nicola Buckley, 29, of Moston Lane, Moston, had started a relationship with her landlord and had a child with him but failed to tell the council. She was given a six month community rehabilitation order by magistrates for accepting housing, council tax and income support cash.
In the final case, Amanda Braithwaite, 37, of Delvino Walk, Moss Side, admitted failing to declare that she had started full time work and fraudulently taking housing and council tax benefits worth £991 over a five-month period. She was ordered to pay a £65 fine and £150 costs.
City Treasurer, Richard Paver, said: "The whole community suffers when individuals commit crimes of this nature. These cases demonstrate our determination to prosecute offenders and ensure that they do not profit from their crime."

Blackswift: The Ultimate Armed UAV?
Blackswift: Cost vs. capability
Officials, experts debate merits of armed, hypersonic ISR craft
By Nick Adde and Ben Iannotta - Special to the Times
Posted : Wednesday Sep 24, 2008 12:27:40 EDT
If Osama bin Laden turns up to order a cup of tea at an outdoor café, Mark Lewis, the Air Force's chief scientist, wants to take him out before he can pay his check. The question is how.
Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles armed with Hellfire missiles won't work unless a terrorist leader decides to sip tea where the U.S. has uncontested control of the airspace, which is where the relatively low-flying Reapers must travel. Cruise missiles, at least for now, are either too easy to shoot down or not fast enough.
The answer, Lewis said, might lie in winning political commitment to explore an unmanned, faster-flying successor to the retired SR-71 Blackbird to be called the SR-72.
Defense officials are still analyzing whether there would be a mission for an SR-72, but Lewis said he's "pretty optimistic on its utility." Either way, Lewis said he wants research to go forward. That would mean construction of a demonstration plane called Blackswift as a takeoff on the Blackbird.
At the moment, Blackswift consists of an artist's rendering and some conceptual work completed by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works in California, builder of the SR-71. In 2004, the Pentagon hired Skunk Works to build a series of hypersonic test aircraft, and, as part of that effort, engineers drew up plans for the Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-3X, a proposed Blackswift demonstration plane.

By Cristina Stuart
This publication was once urged to me through a colleague while i used to be requested to do a presentation at paintings. awaiting a publication with loads of jargon or not going examples, i used to be pleasantly surprised.
Ms. Stuart offers particular examples so you recognize precisely what she ability, and also you, the reader, will understand that the stairs she talks of include possible. From the instruction to supply, she covers the entire gamut.
Towards the top of the booklet, she discusses humor, that's precious, yet she additionally discusses chatting with the media, which sounds nice (but i actually have no idea whilst i'd use it). using visible aids and scripts are covered.
I have instructed this booklet to scholars and coworkers. i'd suggest maintaining a replica for private reference.

Nero Gallery is proud to invite you to the first exibithion of Sicioldr in Rome.
Sicioldr, a young artist from Tuscany, makes us explore an imaginary world full of secrets and myths through his works .
His dreams and visions skim darkness and prohibited sensuality, overcoming the darkness.
The characteristics of painters like Jan Van Eyck and Rembrandt can be found in Sicioldr's relaxing and elegant paintings. The faces and gestures of his subjects embody the Flemish and the realism of Twenty Century.
This sublime dimension overlaps surreal and fairytale elements which emerge from the backgrounds and landscapes, thus placing his characters in a timeless period.
The technique that Sicioldr uses for its painting is called "delle velature".It is an ancient technique, for which several layers of color are painted one above the other recreating the material and realistic colors. There are also the sketches that show the artist's creative process.
His symbolist characters are timeless and have no spatial connotation, they dwell in distant atmospheres similar to the Odilon Redon ones. Their faces -always without eyebrows- have a disturbing look and a profound dichotomy between familiarity and mystery.
For the occasion, the gallery turns into an artist's atelier, a damned and enchanting microcosm where art originated and is created.
Curated by Giulia Capogna and Daphnée Thibaud

Health And Nutrition Strategist™
Diabetes Fact Sheet
Diabetes is a serious lifelong illness. It is a disorder of the human body's metabolism. People with diabetes either produce little or no insulin, or the body does not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. A healthy diet, physical activity, and insulin (and/or an oral medication) are the basic strategies for managing either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. A person's health and nutrition lifestyle is one of the largest factors in determining the onset of Type 2 diabetes. Ethnicity and age are also significant factors.
According to the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse, as of 2005 an estimated 20.6 million people aged 20 years or older had diabetes (or 9.6% of the adult population). Decision Analyst's Health And Nutrition Strategist™ confirms this percentage, including Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Along with aging baby boomers and Americans' growing waist lines, Type 2 diabetes is becoming more prevalent, making diabetics a large and important market for food, beverage, restaurants, and pharmaceutical companies.
The diabetics market is even more important than it might seem, because any household with a diabetic member (including children with diabetes) tends to modify food and beverage purchases for the whole family. So perhaps as many as 20 to 25 million households are directly or indirectly influenced by diabetes. The data from Health And Nutrition Strategist™ reinforces the evidence that diabetes is most often associated with age and obesity.
- Diabetics tend to be older.
- 82.2% of diabetics are aged 45 or older, compared to 46.6% of nondiabetics.
- Diabetics are more likely to earn less.
- 62.0% of diabetics have an annual pretax income per year of less than $50,000, compared to 52.8% of nondiabetic adults.
- 7.1% of diabetics earn more than $100,000, compared to 16.0% of nondiabetic adults.
- Diabetics are more likely to be overweight.
- 10.3% of diabetics weigh more than 300 pounds and 16.4% weigh between 250 and 299 pounds, compared to 2.7% and 6.5% of the nondiabetic adults, respectively.
- The average weight of a diabetic is 210 pounds, while the average for nondiabetic adults is 175 pounds.
- And diabetics know they are overweight.
- 49.8% of diabetics say they are "more than 30 pounds overweight," compared to 24.3% of the nondiabetic adults.
- Only 11.3% of diabetics describe their weight as being "about right," compared to 24.9% of the nondiabetic adults.
Diet And Lifestyle
Since diabetes is more prevalent among those aged 45 or older, the following tables present more detailed information for this age group.
What Actions Are Diabetics Taking To Improve Their Health?
Diabetics are taking more actions to improve their health than nondiabetics, such as taking an eye exam, making changes to their diet, and getting a flu shot. However, diabetics are not paying attention to every aspect of their health; they are less likely to get a dental exam or checkup than nondiabetics.
How Frequently Do Diabetics Exercise?
Diabetics are less likely to exercise than nondiabetics. When diabetics do exercise, they exercise fewer hours per week than nondiabetics.
Are Diabetics Dieting?
Even though the table on the next page shows that diabetics are more likely to eat some fattening foods such as sausage, hot dogs, and carbonated soft drinks, they are also more likely to have been on a diet, and more likely to have been on a low-sugar/diabetic, low-calorie, and low-carbohydrate diet.
What Do Diabetics Eat?
When it comes to food, both nondiabetics and diabetics eat "bad" foods, but the bad foods differ. Diabetics are more likely to consume hot dogs, sausages and carbonated soft drinks, while nondiabetics are more likely to consume tortilla chips, cakes/brownies, and chocolate. For diabetics, eating more meats is consistent with the "low-carbohydrate" and "low-sugar/diabetic" diets.
Where Do Diabetics Eat?
Diabetics are more likely to visit IHOP, Golden Corral, McDonald's, and KFC.
Do Diabetics Use Nutritional Labels?
Diabetics are more influenced by nutritional labels when choosing which product or brand to buy than nondiabetics. Both diabetics and nondiabetics are more likely to use nutritional labels to decide what products to buy, compared to what brands to buy.
Diabetics constitute a very large market, with the health and nutritional choices of as many as 20 to 25 million households influenced by one or more members suffering from diabetes. All trends in the U.S. point toward even greater levels of diabetics in the future population, as more and more individuals pursue sedentary lifestyles and overeat. This means that companies that take major steps now to understand this market will be positioned to exploit growth in the diabetic population.
This paper presents only the "tip of the iceberg." Hundreds and hundreds of additional facts about diabetics are included in the Health and Nutrition Strategist™.
Background And Methodology
This Diabetes Fact Sheet is from Decision Analyst's Health And Nutrition Strategist™. The data were collected using the American Consumer Opinion® online panel on a continuous basis starting in January 2006 to March 2008, using a nationally representative statistically balanced sample of 9,265 adults (aged 18+), of which 4,636 were aged 45 or over. The margin of statistical error ranges from 2.5% to 3.5%, plus or minus, at a 95% confidence level.

Morrissey is among the many musicians, songwriters, and artists to praise the legendary musical icon Prince, who passed away April 21, at the age of 57.
Morrissey wrote a memorial tribute to remember Prince's political habits including his veganism and animal rights advocacy. On True to You, he began his statement, "Although a long-serving vegan and a strong advocate of the abolition of the abattoir, neither of these points were mentioned in the one hundred television reports that I witnessed yesterday as they covered the enchanted life and sad death of Prince."
In his post, Morrissey goes on to critique the media and the British royalty. At points he juxtaposes Prince's behavior to the current Queen Elizabeth II, saying that Prince will be "mourned far more than she, for she could never make herself loveable." Ouch.
Read his full statement below.
Although a long-serving vegan and a strong advocate of the abolition of the abattoir, neither of these points was mentioned in the one hundred television reports that I witnessed yesterday as they covered the enchanted life and sad death of Prince. The points were not mentioned because they are identified as expressions against e$tabli$hment interests, therefore we, mere galley slaves, aren't allowed to know.Prince has influenced the world more than is suspected, and somehow the life of his music is just beginning, and he would be thanked not only by humans but also animals for living his lyrical life as he did. Humans, you see, are not the world.
Meanwhile, on the same day that Prince melts away in physical form, London and England remain two very different countries, and in London the news media (under tyrannized instructions from Buckingham Palace) are informing the world that Her Royal Slyness is celebrating her 90th birthday, and we are assured that all of the United Kingdom is celebrating a monarch who has "served" (that is, served herself, not the people) for over 60 years. There is no evidence of celebrations, and in fact there are hushed reports of national indifference. In this mental maze the marrow of the matter has been grasped by everyone: monarchy is the new anarchy. It is the face of white supremacy, social repression, tyranny, oppression, thought control, big stick control, minority rule, dictatorship, and, on the streets beyond SW1, unfairness. All that can be honestly celebrated on Elizabeth's 90th birthday is the reality that she is the end of the family line. What else could her point be?
Prince, who made something of his life as opposed to having fortune handed to him, is far more 'royal' than Elizabeth 2, and he will be mourned far more than she, for she could never make herself loveable, no matter how many paid and promoted non-stories flood the newspapers of the world. The laughing gulls of Buckingham Palace will never allow you to forget who wields the stick. And, of course, we know very well what gulls tend to do on the people below.
Prince is the royal that people love, whereas Elizabeth 2 was thrust on the people who have never been asked whether or not they want her.

For a little princess, young lady or adult woman, dad always remains the main and most beloved man in life. Despite the fact that men are not particularly in a hurry to show their emotions, they are very fond of surprises. You can see a sincere smile and enthusiastic joy if you make a gift to your father for your birthday.
What to give dad a birthday?
Starting from a very young age, every child wants to make presents to his parents. Of course, you can ask your mother to buy a gift in the store, but such a gift will not bring as much joy as a hand-made article or a hand-made greeting card. You can independently make a gift to your beloved father or resort to the help of adults. Mom or grandparents will always be happy to help.
Birthday is a wonderful occasion to give dad an original and unique hand-made gift. There are many ideas for such gifts. You can make the following crafts:
- postcard;
- application;
- photo collage;
- a mug with a list;
- drawing on any subject;
- original boat or motorcycle of sweets;
- a notebook book;
- frame made of seashells or decorative stones;
- housekeeper;
- a box for storing small parts and spare parts;
- mobile phone stand;
- Wall Clock;
- iDad cardboard gadget;
- wish book;
- confectionery, etc.
If you make a postcard, be sure to write a wish and sign. In the age of computer technology, modern children are too developed and master various programs faster than adults. Using the capabilities of a personal computer, you can create an animated film about your father or make an original, and even comedic video from photos, of course, with the hero of the occasion in the main role.
A girl can sing a song to a dad or tell an author's verse. The choice of a gift for dad depends not only on fantasy, but also on the child's skills.
If you have knitting and crochet skills, then a knitted item will be a great birthday gift for dad, in particular:
- scarf;
- mittens;
- gloves;
- socks;
- cap;
- pullover.
Girls who have mastered the skills of embroidery, can make a dad a beautiful composition, embroidered satin stitch or cross. It can be a regular postcard, but only in such an interesting performance. Recently, coffee beans crafts have become very popular. From this material you can make original charms, decorative wood. Coffee beans can decorate notebooks, photo frames, etc.
Older girls can bake a confectionary masterpiece. In this difficult matter they will be helped by mothers or grandmothers. Choose any recipe for baking, and even better bake a cake that your dad loves. You can decorate pastries with a mirror chocolate cream, whipped cream or mastic. Using a special pastry set, in particular a syringe, you can make an original inscription containing a short greeting for dad.
A gift to the father with his own hands from his daughter 10 years
A young ten-year-old princess can present her father a dance, a song, a hand-made postcard, or any other craft. If dad always goes to work in a business suit, then the card in the form of a shirt with a tie will please him. Surely he will be delighted with such a gift. Inside the postcard, you must write congratulations and wishes. Help your child make such a postcard, and if your child is also a young poet, then you can write your own poems.
Necessary materials:
- thick colored paper double sided - 2 sheets;
- ruler;
- Buttons for decoration;
- glue;
- scissors.
Step-by-step process description:
- A sheet of paper should be placed on a flat surface and connect two short opposite sides, gently bending the middle.
- The sheet must be divided in half and make a middle cut.
- Then you need to carefully unscrew and bend the edges of the paper, which will serve as the collar of the shirt.
- On a sheet of paper of a different color, draw a tie and carefully cut it. It is best to use a contrasting color for this postcard item.
- On the prepared postcard, it is temporarily necessary to bend the edges of the collar of the shirt and glue the tie. Instead of glue you can use double-sided adhesive tape.
- The corners of the paper, which play the role of a collar, should be bent again and glue buttons, decorative stones or rhinestones.
Mastering a chocolate beer mug
Recently, gifts made of candy or chocolate bars have become very popular. If you want to give dad an original gift, then try making a chocolate beer mug with your daughter. Such a gift will please dad and take pride of place on the shelf in the living room or parental bedroom. So, dad's birthday gift with his own hands from his daughter is 13 years old.
Necessary materials:
- chocolate rectangular tiles in the package - 10 pcs .;
- pieces of foam;
- scissors;
- strong glue;
- ribbons for decorating any color;
- a piece of wire;
- synthetic winterizer;
- corrugated paper;
- wire cutters.
Step-by-step process description:
- First you need to prepare all the necessary materials. To fix the chocolate bars and other elements of the product you need to use durable glue.
- According to the diameter of the usual glass you need to cut the base of the foam. If the foam is of small thickness, then the two blanks need to be glued together.
- It is necessary to cut a circle from thick corrugated paper, the diameter of which will be slightly larger than the area of the foam.
- Cut the paper circle must be glued to the base of the glass, slightly turning the edges.
- Then you need to measure the height of the used chocolates or tiles, as well as calculate the volume of the future beer mug.
- In accordance with these dimensions, you should cut a strip of corrugated paper and glue the entire side surface of the foam in a circle.
- Next, smoothly and carefully you need to glue the chocolate bars. For this you can use double-sided adhesive tape. Between the tiles in one place you need to leave a gap for fixing the handle.
- According to the diameter of the foam base, it is necessary to cut a circle from corrugated paper and glue it inside the circle.
- The glued corrugated paper should be abundantly greased with glue and from the top stick a synthetic winterizer. It is necessary to glue so that it looks like foam.
- Cutting pliers need to cut the wire suitable for the height of the cup. From it you should gently bend the handle in the shape of the letter P.
- Prepared wire handle should be wrapped with a decorative tape and fix the edges with glue.
- In the gap between the chocolate bars should stick made handle.
- The lower and upper parts of the beer mug should be decorated with a beautiful narrow ribbon. It is best to use a ribbon that wraps the handle of the mug.
Dad is a role model and a model for the ideal man for every girl. That is why we choose a husband who is as close as possible to his father. Any dad will be very pleased to receive a gift from his beloved daughter, especially if it is made in the style of hand-made.

Our client and his friend were found passed out inside a vehicle located in a corporate parking lot at 4:30 a.m. When police arrived on the scene, they awoke our client. Police stated that he was unsteady on his feet, had bloodshot/watery eyes, slurred speech, and a strong odor of alcohol beverage on his person. After a series of five field sobriety tests, of which he failed all five, officers arrested him for DUI. Once at the jail, the client submitted to a breath test and blew a .144. The legal limit is .08.
Upon review of all the police documents and the body cam of the arrest, Tucker Richardson observed the officer did not advise the client of his right to an independent test after the client had submitted to the breath test. Tucker filed a motion to suppress the breath test. After a hearing, the Judge suppressed the breath test evidence. The prosecutor (reluctantly) agreed to amend the DUI charge to a reckless driving charge and our client paid a $100 fine. Needless to say the client was extremely happy.
If you, a friend, or a family member ever need legal assistance, please contact Tucker Richardson at Baldani Law Group. He can be reached on his personal cell phone is (859) 221-0727.

Well after an epic meltdown on Friday and Saturday of week 1, and considering giving up on my dream of being a teacher, I returned to my class. Most of this week was a good week. I continued to teach data analysis in math. Teaching though is much more than content and what you are teaching. Its more about how you are teaching, how you are responding and what you are seeing, and there is a lot to see in a classroom.
Content is important in teaching and it is important to know your content well. In preparing for this block, I spent a lot of my time learning my content and brushing up on graphing in Grade 4. I felt very confident in my content knowledge and I thought that would be most of what I needed to be effective as a teacher. How wrong I was. There are so many moving parts to teaching and those parts change frequently.
One of the biggest parts to teaching is how you respond to the students. Responding isn't just about answering their questions. Response includes how often you call on a particular student or students, what order you respond to hands up when they are working. It is also about how you respond when they give you an answer that isn't appropriate to the question, it is about how you respond when they share a bit about their life when they are supposed to be doing math and when they are off task, once twice or more times. Responding and the huge impact it has on your teaching and the students was so eye opening for me.
I found you spend much of your time responding in one way or other to students, while y teaching ,when they are working,when they are coming in or leaving. One of the big eye openers I had in responding was when my teaching partner and co-op, as part of data collection for my PDP, noted that I responded to almost all boys' questions and helped them while they were working. It was bad enough that many of the girls stopped raising their hand. I had no idea I was doing this until it was pointed out. It was not something I was doing consciously nor was I intending to neglect the girls. I thought as I helped students I was attending to everyone. I was so shocked and glad to have that information. After that I tried to be more aware of who I was helping or asking to answer. I was reluctant to call on students who were not volunteering. It worked out I was calling on the same few people. My co-op gave me some tips on calling on the non-volunteers without making them feel bad. Calling on non-volunteers is also a good way to keep them focused, who knew.
There were other positives about the week. I managed to make a review on google slides and then use the smart board to show it. If you know me using that simple tech is a very big accomplishment. I also played 4 corners to do the review which was also something very new to me as well. I stretched even further and we worked in groups for a graphing assignment, with 2 groups in the hallway. These things came about from feedback I was receiving. Although I like the group work and the active learning, the classroom management in these situations holds me back. I am working on it, putting all the moving parts together slowly. Maybe I will have some of the parts working in sync before my 3 weeks are up.
A quick aside, its amazing how insulted you get when "your kids" get unfairly accused of making noise when its older students making all the noise, I made sure to tell my co-op it wasn't our students.
Stay tuned for what week 3 will bring, I teach a whole half day that week.

Girl. Today in "What is you doin'?" news:
Popular beauty blogger Gigi Beauty shared a very personal—and teachable—moment with her fan base, ending with a very big reveal:
Through nervous laughter, Gigi explained that a beauty experiment (read: bad idea) had compelled her to relax her hair not once, but twice.
In one day.
Girl. Have you no respect for your edges?
In the video, Gigi eventually admits that while the reveal was a joke made while she was in the process of shaving her head, her hair truly had begun to fall out as a result of over-relaxing. We can only assume that she decided to start from scratch—that is, if she hasn't permanently damaged her follicles.
Celebrity stylist Dana Gibbs agrees. "It's like putting Nair on your head," she says, adding, "In the YouTube era, there are just some things you don't want to touch or try on your own."
Gibbs is no stranger to chemical processes; she has had her hands in the heads of some of the most well-coiffed women in entertainment, including Rihanna, Taraji P. Henson and Regina King. But while horrified at this Insta-fail, she concedes that there is a way to attempt a double process: with the help of a professional.
"Hair doesn't straighten with the same consistency all over your head," she says. "That's why you need a professional standing over you, to see what areas need more attention."
Gigi is gorgeous with or without hair, and clearly well stocked in wigs, so we know she gon' be all right. But let her loss be a lesson to you: Don't try this at home.

Spartans travelled up to Dumfries to take on Solway Sharks on Saturday in which was always going to be a tricky fixture but the 8-0 score line doesn't really reflect the whole story although it can't be argued that Solway deserved their victory.
Sharks were 2-0 up in two minutes with goals from Senko on 0.52, assisted Bowie/Henderson & Adams on 2.01, assisted Tonnar/Gallagher. Solway won't get two easier goals to score all season with Spartans defence all over the place & in generous mood. We struggled to create anything worthwhile to get back into the game and the writing seemed on the wall as early in the game as it was when Solway made it 3-0 with an unassisted goal from the impressive Senko on 16.26. That goal seemed to wake Spartans up a bit as they played the period out in a more determined mood & snubbed out Sharks to see the period out to be 3-0 down.
The second period saw a much improved Spartans not just match Sharks but at times were arguably better but couldn't find a way past a well organised defence which could be said about Sharks with Brandon Stones in good form again with the Spartans defence looking solid but unfortunately couldn't prevent Iain Bowie scoring a very good goal on 39.13, assisted Gallagher/Crane to go into the final period 4-0 up.
The final period initially continued as the second period had been played out, pretty much evenly but Solway soon got into their stride & showed their true class to take the game to Spartans who never gave up but faced an impossible task when on 44.49 Murray made it 5-0, assisted Senko/Bowie. Things got worse for Spartans when Henderson grabbed his first senior goal on 49.25, assisted Senko/Bowie. Ben Churchfield took over from Brandon Stones in Spartans goal. He had only been on the ice for 14 seconds before he was picking the puck out of the net after been left wide open by his defence for Tonnar to score, assisted by Crane on 51.30. Ben did well in goal facing 13 shots in the last 10 minutes as Sharks piled on the pressure but there was nothing he could do when Tonnar added his second & Solway's 8th on 59.32 to secure a deserved victory. Andy Cook was Spartans Man of the Match with Struan Tonnar winning it for Solway Sharks.
Final Score: Solway Sharks 8 Spartans 0
Despite a longer than usual journey from Solway due to the coach breaking down & being diverted due to the closure on M1, Spartans seemed fresh & in determined mood which was more than evident in the first period however their domination wasn't made to count against a very spirited Telford team backed by an impressive Elliott Tolley in goal to be only two goals up with Scott Morris scoring on 6.16, assisted Ollie Barron/Stuart Brittle followed by Will Barron on 7.39, assisted Tom Humphries/Nick Whyatt.
Spartans started the second period keenly but allowed Telford to come back into the game which they took advantage of when they pulled a goal back on 26.46 through Rigby assisted by the Stanton brothers. Three quick goals though from Spartans put them back in control despite the game becoming scrappy at times. Jonathon Kirk scored a nice goal on 30.54, assisted Tom Humphries/Scott Morris. This was followed by an Ollie Barron goal that was assisted by Stuart Brittle on 31.24 with Tom Humphries making it 5-1 on 32.41, assisted Will Barron/Nick Whyatt. It could have been a far great margin going into the last period had it not been for some excellent netminding from Tolley in Telford's goal, making some very brave saves to keep Titans in touch.
Connor Gordon hit back for Titans to make the score 5-2 after some early pressure, assisted Blakemore/Jets with a nervy looking Spartans glad to quickly restore their 4 goal advantage on 43.19 through Tom Humphries assisted Nick Whyatt/Michael Alexander. With both teams struggling at times to get a real grip on the game it was a little scrappy but Spartans continued to create the better chances and were content to see Tom Parkinson extend their lead with a good goal on 55.48, assisted James Maughan/Jonathon Kirk. In the last minute of the game Tom Humphries made it 8-2 with his hat-trick goal to round off a good performance that saw him awarded Spartans Man of the Match. Assists on the last goal went to Will Barron/Nick Whyatt in a game where the win was really what mattered to get Spartans back to winning ways.
Final Score: Spartans 8 Telford Titans 2

Movistar Yamaha MotoGP's Valentino Rossi reacts to his sensational victory in the Gran Premio de la República Argentina.
Starting from a less than perfect eighth position on the grid, Rossi was immediately in the middle of the pack fighting for first corner position. Taking a lap to find his rhythm he then started his move up the field, taking first Danilo Petrucci and then Aleix Espargarò to move into sixth. With 20 laps to go his teammate Lorenzo was next as the Doctor continued his charge towards the front.
The next pack to be dispatched were Andrea Iannone, then Cal Crutchlow and finally Andrea Dovizioso to put the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider in second position. Rossi then had the seemingly impossible task of closing a gap of over four-seconds to leading rider Marc Marquez.
The nine-time world champion then delivered a performance for the record books, putting the hammer down and cutting the lead lap by lap to reel Marquez in with just two laps remaining. A fast exchange of positions followed through turns two, three and four, with Rossi exiting turn five in the lead. In his rush to counter attack, Marquez then clipped Rossi's back wheel on the exit, crashing out of contention.
Rossi's victory brings with it some incredible numbers, bringing Rossi's podium tally to 199, 110 of which are victories and 51 of those with Yamaha.
The result puts him on 66 points at the top of the rider standings, six clear of Dovizioso in second. Movistar Yamaha MotoGP also lead the team standings on 103 points and Yamaha lead the constructors standings with 66 points.
Valentino Rossi:
"It's a great victory, we made the right decision and started with the extra hard tyre. When I saw Marc start with the red one I knew that he would try to push at the beginning. I made a great start but on the first corner Iannone pushed me on the outside. Step by step I came back, and when I arrived in second Marc had a little more than four-second lead. I knew the race was long, so I knew he could have some difficulty. Catching him lap by lap, I could see him far away but coming closer and closer, it was a great taste! I overtook him in braking, but he is a rider who is all or nothing, he touched me in the corner, then he touched me again as I was accelerating, I think he made a mistake and he crashed. It's a shame because it could have been a great fight on the last lap. In three races we have demonstrated we can be competitive everywhere and fight for the championship."

What is a Merchant Cash Advance?
A merchant cash advance is a form of borrowing that's unlike a loan. The major differences lie in the amount of time it takes to have cash in hand, what you need to qualify, and the repayment options. To qualify for a cash advance, you don't need to have nearly the amount of paperwork you need to qualify for a traditional business loan.
– Bank statement
– Credit card processing statements
– Credit score
– Business taxes
– Driver's license
A merchant cash advance lender will give you the money you need with this information, which is easy to secure without spending too much time going through your files and records. A traditional loan requires you have a great credit score both professionally and personally. It takes time to create a good business credit score, and many people who have a younger business are unable to qualify for a loan simply because they have not been in business long enough.
The other major difference between a cash advance and a loan is the repayment situation. If you secure a traditional loan, you pay a monthly payment for a number of years. This amount and the years in which you make your repayments are set before you get your cash. Your payment never changes, but you do have the option to pay off your loan early for a lot less. If you're able to make higher monthly payments, you can pay off your loan faster and cheaper.
A cash advance does not work this way. You never know what your payment will be, and you don't know how long it will take you to make your repayments. Your payment is made daily to your lender based on your daily credit and debit card sales. The agreed upon interest rate is applied to your everyday sales, and that's how your payment is made. Your payment is rarely ever the same. If you have lower sales one day, you'll make a lower payment that day. The good news, however, is that a slow week doesn't mean you cannot afford to make your payments.
The length of time it takes to repay this cash advance varies, too. It could take you three months if you make significant credit card sales each day. It could take you as long as a year to make your repayments in full, and most lenders don't reward you for making an early repayment. They still require you pay the interest, and the interest rate can reach into the triple digits.
When Should I Consider a Cash Advance?
If you don't qualify for a small business loan, it's time to consider a merchant cash advance. If you have a new business, you may not qualify for a loan. If your personal or business credit score is low, you will not qualify for a loan. If a bank doesn't feel that your business plan is good enough, they may deny you a loan months after you began the application process. This is when you should consider a cash advance.
A cash advance lender is not overly concerned about your credit score, and they'll consider you for a cash advance even if you have poor credit or no business credit at all. However, you must be aware that the rate you pay will be very high. It can reach as high as the triple digits, which can make the repayment options so expensive your business will not grow. If you cannot secure cash in another manner, this might not be a good idea if you cannot get a rate that's affordable. It's a quick way to end up further in debt and in a borrowing cycle you cannot break.
A merchant cash advance can save you when you need funds fast, but it can also be detrimental to your financial situation if you're not aware of what you're getting yourself into. This form of borrowing is expensive, but it can be helpful if you know how to approach borrowing.
