Letters to the editor: In East Haddam, time to vote again; A sincere 'thank you' to the community
In East Haddam, time to vote again
Congratulations to all 241 voters who voted "NO" in the recent budget referendum & at least saved us temporarily from being slammed with a 21.7% mill rate increase. Not since 1967 had such an outrageous increase been proposed & your "NO" vote not only saved many of us from greatly increased taxes for this year, but for future years as well because in the years to come, the typical mill rate increases (1 to 2 mills) would be on top of the 4.68 mill proposed increase this year. Talk about compound interest!!!! And with state tax increases at their highest level ever, Obamacare big hits coming, a hangover from a 5-6 years long recession, we don't need a big tax hike here.
But I attended the Board of Ed meeting following the May 21st referendum & the anger & disbelief were palpable. Blame was being cast about in all directions and one loud, former BOE member even darkly threatened to vote "NO" at the next referendum if the current BOE accepted any of the Board of Finance's recommended budget cuts! Here we have a total disregard & lack of respect for the Tax-payer. Well, I welcome every "NO" vote we can get - whatever the reasoning behind it. The school warriors are beating the drums to get out the "yes" vote, so I urge all of you who voted "NO" to do so again June 27. Let's make it clear we won't give a blank check year after year to the BOE.
There will also be an earlier Budget Town Meeting on June 19th. Come & speak!
-- David Sloan, East Haddam
Trusting our administration
Our politicians are embroiled in one scandalous issue after another. First, it was Benghazi where four Americans lost their lives. Then, it was the IRS focusing on conservative organizations requesting nonprofit status along with other groups. Quickly followed by the DOJ going after the Associated Press to gather information regarding a journalist report. Now we have the NSA gathering information daily on every American citizen.
Where is all this going? Now many of us are truly supportive of the NSA to do as much as they can to prevent atrocities in America. But, at the expense of our freedom? I think not! They really need to focus on the real terrorist targets but that might be considered not politically correct.
Did the NSA solve the Boston marathon bombing with all their gathered data? No! They were informed by the Russians, not once but twice, of the two young men who set the bombs. The NSA effectively ignored their warning and failed to follow up with electronic surveillance that might have prevented the carnage in Boston.
Now, we're asked to 'Trust Our Government'. You have got to be kidding!
--Richard Wilson, Whispering Pines, N.C.
A sincere 'thank you' to the community
On behalf of the American Cancer Society, I would like to extend my appreciation to the volunteer committee as well as all who attended and supported the Relay For Life of Middletown. Over 650 people participated, raising more than $88,000 for the American Cancer Society's research, education, advocacy, and service programs. The outstanding support proves that Middletown is truly committed to the fight against cancer.
I want to applaud the 59 cancer survivors who participated in the opening lap and reception in their honor. They are the reason we continue the fight, because each year there can be more and more people living wonderful lives after a cancer diagnosis.
A special thanks to the many Relay For Life volunteers and our chairperson Jamie Hunter.
Remember it's not too late to become involved with the American Cancer Society. There are many opportunities to volunteer helping patients and implementing programs here. For information please call us at 1-800-227-2345 or visit cancer.org.

Location Boise, United States of America
Distance Half marathon
Date 07 Nov 2020
Understated, underrated and under-appreciated, Idaho's state capital (and largest city) gets little name recognition from people outside the northwest. The affable downtown impresses unsuspecting visitors with the modest spirit of an underdog. Cool surprises include Basque culture, a grandiose Idaho capitol building and a fair number of well-heeled bars and Parisian-style bistros. There's also a university campus and enough greenery to make its 'city of trees' moniker more than just a marketing ploy. Boise leaves a lasting impression – primarily because it's not supposed to.
With that being said, the Zeitgeist Half Marathon is the place to be!!
Run through the hilly country areas north of Boise, the Zeitgeist Half Marathon (named for the "spirit of the times," race organizers say) offers participants a loop course with the start and finish lines at the Optimist Youth Sports Complex, and a course that includes gentle, rolling hills and a variety of different surfaces.
6 aid stations: with Gatorade and water Located at miles 2.5, 4.5, 6.4, 8.4 10.3, 11.9 Portable toilets: At all aid stations, and at mile 0.9 and 12.2
Awards are presented at the post-race party for Overall winners and Age Group winners (M/F—1st, 2nd, 3rd). We also have a great prize drawing with tickets drawn from all participants who finish the race.

Functional Fitness: Three Simple ExercisesMay is Older Americans Month – an event that brings many reasons for celebration. However, one of the unfortunate side effects of aging is a natural loss of muscle mass. Addressing this natural decline is an important part of creating a healthy and indepedent future. We often hear about benefits of strength training and cardiovascular exercise for older people. Another area of exercise and fitness that is becoming prominent within an aging population is functional fitness. In its simplest terms, this means the replication of everyday activities and movements. For example, stepping up and down on an exercise step mimics stepping up onto a curb or walking up a set of stairs.
Functional fitness stems from a critical component of training programs for sports athletes. Sprint drills for basketball players, footwork drills for football players and prolonged squats for skiers are a few examples.
Like athletes, adults should be provided opportunities to mimic everyday movements within their exercise routines. By training in this fashion you can address the specifics of how to live and function at maximum potential. The following are a list of functional exercises to include in your exercise program for optimum functioning.
- Sit to Stands – start seated in a chair, without the assistance of your arms, rise to a standing position. Then slower lower yourself back to the edge of the seat. Repeat 10-15 times. This exercise mimics standing from a seated position, something we do each and every day.
- Seated Hamstring Stretch – sit in the edge of a chair and extend one leg with your heel on the ground and ankle bent. The other leg is next to the extended leg with a 90 degree bend in the knee. Next, extend both arms in front of you and slowly bend at the hips to reach towards the toes of the extended leg. When you feel the stretch in the back of the leg hold it for 5-10 seconds without bouncing. Repeat 3 times. This exercise mimics bending over to tie your shoes or pick something up from the ground in a seated position.
- Front Shoulder Raises – Either seated or standing, place a 1-3 pound weight in each hand. Lower your arms to your sides with the palms of your hand facing the sides of your body. While holding the weight slowly raise one arm at a time to shoulder height, then slowly bring back down to your side. Repeat 10-12 times for each arm. This exercise mimics putting away groceries on shelves or grabbing something off of an elevated shelf or ledge.
Engage and inspire your inner athlete regardless of age and train to always function at your peak potential! Click on the following links for balance and seated strengthening exercises.
The Rosborough Cultural Arts and Wellness Center at Asbury Methodist Village includes a gym, pool and a full daily schedule of wellness classes open to area seniors. For information about classes and prices, please call Shannon Babb at 301.987.6255 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

UbiQus is a company that was founded in France in 1991 to offer transcription, interpretation, and report writing/ summarization services for companies. Services are provided in the areas of medical, corporate, and legal. Ubiqus offers a variety of work at home positions, the main job type being Transcription.
What is the transcription work like?
Basically, you get an audio file and transcribe it per directions, whether it is verbatim, report format, or translation into another language. They expect grammatically correct, error free, free-flowing content. You can apply to work in specific areas, such as legal, medical, or corporate. Details on the specifics are hard to find, but from others that work for them it looks like they call you with assignments in your area at first. They also send out a form for you to fill out each week stating what you can handle for the week, and then it seems that when they are comfortable with what you can handle they just begin to automatically assign you jobs. Some have said that when they test and are approved to do medical work, they can call in and ask for corporate work if there is no medical work available. However, to do legal work along with medical work you must pass the test for both.
Do you need experience in transcription to work for Ubiqus?
Ubiqus's website say experience is HIGHLY recommended but not necessary! This could make for a great way to get your foot into the door of the world of transcription. Of course, not being experienced means you have to be good! They have a list of several important things to be aware of before even applying, such as the desire for you to have a foot pedal (fairly inexpensive – see Erica Martin's recommendations here). Be sure to read over the list before applying.
What about pay?
This was hard to find information on. I cannot tell exactly how they pay, or how often, but from all appearances the pay is reasonable. The rate is per word per audio hour and varies by position. A couple of people who have done work for them mentioned they could make $70 to $100 on a one hour file. Of course it takes much longer than one hour to transcribe an hour of audio. Others mentioned that they made more on medical or legal than on corporate files, but that the pay was still good on corporate files compared to that of other companies.
Can I make a living?
The pay is good, but work is not necessarily steady. Several have reported having work every day for a month then none or very little for several weeks. While working for Ubiqus alone may not be a great way to make an actual living, it seems it is an outstanding egg to have in a work-at-home basket. It could be very rewarding as long as you have something to fill in the slow times.
How do I apply for Ubiqus?
There is an application on their website, and the note that they will contact you if they wish to take the application further. This further contact appears to be in the form of a request to test for a certain area, or all areas. You apply for specific jobs such as translator, report writer, and transcriptionist and test within the area of specialization you are interested in. You can see the variety of Home Based Positions available at Ubiqus by visiting the career page on their website.

Unleash And Identify The Untapped High Potential With Psychometric Analysis!
There is no denying the fact that an organization's success largely depends upon its human resource management. An employee's potential, aptitude, capability, and efficiency play an integral role in taking the company on the path of growth. In recent years Psychometric tests have been gaining ground in the industry for their ability to identify right human talent and to enhance their capacity further. Forming a vital aspect of Human resource management system, Psychometric analysis facilitates easy identification of the most talented employees and leaders and predicting how well they can fare in a complex and challenging work environment.
The success of Psychometric tests is derived from its ingenious structural framework that encompasses two major categories of tests-aptitude tests and personality tests. An Organization's human resource planning process can employ these analytic tools to bring significant benefits to the firm.
The assessment strategy can be implemented at different levels of management to achieve organizational objectives. It can be used for:
1) Identifying high performing employees: Placing the right person at the right workspace is the mantra to success. One of the critical issues often faced by the management is identifying the high-potential employees of the company who, with their talent and skill can lead to optimum results. Psychometric tests help to evaluate cognitive and personality traits of the employees. Thus, their strengths and shortcomings can be streamlined to ensure they get the right job roles that are best-suited for them.
2) Promoting leadership development: Most developmental psychologists believe that what mainly differentiates leaders from others is their "action-logic". This includes their ability to judge their surroundings and to respond appropriately to the upcoming challenges. In most cases, leaders fail to understand their own action logic, and fewer hardly consider the possibility to alter it by introspecting their distinct traits. In such a scenario an assessment tool like Psychometric tests can be of great help. It gives an opportunity to the leaders of the organization to assess their leadership behavior over a period of time and to identify areas where there is scope for improvement. Accordingly, an action plan can be framed to fill the gaps and boost leadership skills.
3) Team building: Psychometric analysis test, with its judiciously designed questionnaire, can turn out to be a highly effective human resource strategy for team building. With an accurate understanding of employees cognitive abilities, communication skills, emotional quotient, and logical reasoning, it is easier to build a highly productive team where like-minded employees can share healthy relations and develop stronger understanding. This leads to an efficient working environment.
4) Career planning exercises: Many employees often remain confused about their real potential and hence fail to make the right career choice. But, with the latest psychometric approach, it becomes easier for them to understand their capabilities, skills, and limitations. Hence, it can act as a guiding light to many doubtful minds to opt for the right opportunities that perfectly fits their personality.
Fundamentally developed to measure and evaluate the mental capacities of individuals, the psychometric test can also be implied for quality training of employees, productive recruitment process, etc. It is a highly recommended tool for human resources services that can transform a low performing firm into a progressing one by empowering its human resources.

One of the biggest fallacies when hiring is that an employee should be thankful that you've given them a job.
If that person is adding value to the company, chances are they're going to be in the black pretty soon. What's more, if they're not adding value this is often as a result of poor management, strategy or hiring the wrong person in the first place. If someone isn't adding more value than resources, and will continue to do so, why are they there?
Either way, ignoring employee engagement and contributing to this kind of attitude, is never going to add value to your company. By making people feel like they're lucky to be there, you're not engaging them with your company, its aims and its growth.
But how do we define employee engagement, and why is it so important? Read on…
What Is Employee Engagement?
Put simply, an engaged employee is someone who is committed and enthusiastic about the company and not just their role within it. They tend to be genuinely concerned with improving and developing the company, doing what they can to support growth and success.
Yes, this can of course come down to the individual. Some people are more naturally ambitious, but very few employees don't want to be somewhere they're proud to call their workplace. Unconscious and conscious decisions that drive down this sort of employee engagement are exactly what prevents people from feeling pride about where they work, and they start simply going through the motions.
So could your company be ignoring employee engagement?
Not Being Transparent About Your Immediate Business Goals
Unbelievably, statistics show that only 7% of employees fully understand their company's goals and strategies. One of the biggest problems causing employee disengagement is a lack of direction and understanding of the bigger picture of the company.
Feeling like a cog in a machine, with no idea what the effect of your work is, or why you're doing it, is always going to be disenfranchising. By and large, people want to be part of something and contribute. It's fulfilling. Something as simple as letting people know their role in the bigger plan can help to drive care and pride in what you're doing.
The bigger picture to this bigger picture? How many of those 93% of companies don't share their plan with their employees because they don't have one? Proper strategy, informed by understanding of the market and what you're offering is often where these companies need to start. If you can't easily explain what your immediate business aims are, no wonder your employees can't.
You're Not Giving Recognition And Feedback
So you've made people feel part of the team, and understand the bigger picture. Top stuff.
But without feedback and recognition, this is far less effective. What's better than realising the part that you play is being made aware of how well you play that part. Feedback is crucial at every level and it's astonishing how little it is done.
The power of a cursory 'well done' or a piece of key insight from a senior member of staff to a junior one is monumental.
Regular feedback sessions not only make people more aware and give them the opportunity to improve, but they are hugely central to engagement. It all comes back to making someone feel like the work they are doing is relevant and integral to the growth and success of the company.
There Are No Opportunities For Personal Growth
We all know that the days of working one job through your whole career are almost over. With workers, particularly from the younger generation, keen on the idea of career autonomy, research now suggests that employees favour personal development over and above career progression.
By offering opportunities to learn, including internal and external training, you're doing more than just satisfying someone's desires to prepare for their future career. Again it all comes back to nurturing people's interest in doing a good job. What seems like an ambitionless workforce is more likely to be an unengaged one.
Give people training and an understanding of the positive effect of that training on the business and you're linking people's personal development directly with the good of the company. It's a win-win.
Now that you understand how you might be scuppering your efforts to engage with your workforce, let's look at why poor employee engagement can be so troublesome…
They'll Leave, And It'll Cost You
One of the big costs of poor employee disengagement is that they're much more likely to disengage their way out the door. If an employee doesn't understand your goals, care about the delivery of those goals or engage with the rest of the team, then the chances are they'll look for someone where they can.
Employees are 4 times more likely to leave if they are unengaged compared to those who consider themselves highly engaged. What's more, the cost of hiring someone to replace an established member of staff has been shown to be around 20% of that person's salary. The chances are, it's not worth taking the risk.
They Won't Be Positive Ambassadors
Every company is a 'brand' nowadays. With marketing and branding becoming more and more important for all types of businesses and an increase on the importance of social influence, the way your employees advocate your company is more important than ever.
Both online and offline negativity can filter down to affecting everyone from customers and prospects to potential future hires. Even if your employees are not intentionally badmouthing the company, their silence speaks volumes. No longer is this just a problem for huge customer facing brands but B2B brands are increasingly focusing on ambassadors.
And don't think you can get away with forced ambassadorship. In the more transparent world we live in, forcing people to write positive reviews on Glassdoor, or imploring them to utilise personal and family leads are not going to improve your brand. In fact, they're more likely to alienate your workforce and further damage the poor employee engagement that caused this problem in the first place.
They Won't Collaborate
One common theme amongst disengaged employees is a feeling of isolation. Whether this is caused by unresponsive management, over the top workload or a heavy-handed approach to personal targets, this one-for-one and none-for-all attitude will damage your business.
Companies like google have made their success through collaboration, listening to the little guy and actively encouraging idea generation. One of the most powerful things an employee can do is hand something over to someone better suited than them, ask for advice from an expert, or do anything that involves putting the company first.
Employee engagement is the only way to achieve this open collaborative and selfless environment. If they don't feel involved, they're unlikely to involve themselves in actively improving the company over and above their own goals and aims.

Huawei, the second-largest manufacturer has made its way to the latest Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The edge-to-edge display screen, powerful processor, AI-based software and dual cameras make it compete with the South Korean tech giant Samsung.
While taking a decision to choose from the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there are few things that you would want to consider. There is no doubt that Mate 10 Pro is the best option, but Note 8 is nowhere downside. So, here is how we can compare the two titans, Mate 10 Pro and Galaxy Note 8.
Design & Display
Both the phones are the best choice if you are looking to have a massive screen with a compact package of features. The Galaxy Note 8 is a bit larger at 6.3-inches than the Mate 10 Pro at 6-inches. Though both handsets seem to be similar, but when we analyze the in-depth details, Note 8 pushes over the Mate 10 Pro. The Galaxy Note 8 features narrow bezels and keeps inputs quite simple as Mate 10 Pro.
However, one noticeable difference is its Bixby button that introduces the Samsung's Digital Assistant. The sensor placement is difficult to reach in both the devices. While talking about the durability, both phones are evenly matched. The Galaxy Note 8 is IP68 certified while Mate 10 Pro is IP67 rated. The higher-resolution screen with a superior waterproofing makes Note 8 superior over Mate 10 Pro.
OS & Processor
Unlike the common Qualcomm processor, the Mate 10 Pro runs on its own Kirin 970 processor which is proved to be powerful than Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Moreover, the Huawei's flagship uses the latest version of EMUI 8.0 interface and runs on Android 8.0 Oreo. There is an NPU to optimize the performance. It even gives access to the desktop-like experience when plugged into the monitor.
The Galaxy Note 8 ships with the Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS and a Bixby assistant. Note 8 even comes in with a Stylus support while Mate 10 Pro lacks. It is tough to compare these devices. However, if you prefer to have stylus style then Note 8 is best. If you prefer AI-powered features then prefer Mate 10 Pro.
Both devices feature dual rear camera setup. Huawei features Leica's camera snapper and holds two 12MP sensors with an aperture of f/1.7 and f/2.4. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Note 8 sports 12MP main sensor accompanied by a 20MP monochrome sensor. Both the sensors share an aperture of f/1.6. Note 8 supports optical image stabilization.
Mate 10 Pro and Note 8 rely on the 8MP front shooter. However, the Huawei's Kirin 970 processor along with the NPU ensures great images, especially in low-light conditions. If you choose between these two rivals, then we prefer Mate 10 Pro. The incredible low aperture offers great low-light performance.
The Huawei's flagship has bigger battery than Samsung's Note 8. Mate 10 Pro has 4000 mAh battery while Note 8 sports 3300 mAh battery. Though there is no big difference Note 8 higher resolution drags it behind. Huawei claims that its device can last for two days with a single charge while Note 8 can last only for a day.
While talking about the battery charging time, the Huawei's SuperCharge system can boost up the battery to 58 Percent in 30 minutes. The SuperCharge technology is quicker than Note 8's Adaptive fast charging technology. Another interesting feature is Unlike Mate10 Pro, Note 8 supports wireless charging.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro Price in Dubai, UAE is AED 2799.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 price in Dubai, UAE is AED 2629.
There is no doubt that Mate 10 Pro is an excellent smartphone from Huawei. But at the same time, Galaxy Note 8 is no slouch. While the Mate 10- Pro is offering great camera features, AI-based software, and a massive battery. The Galaxy Note 8 is even offering a dual camera with a quality display screen, stylus, and wireless support.
Overall, the classy design, load full features, excellent camera capability, and S Pen versatility of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 makes it a top pick. Samsung flagship is offering everything that customers expect from the high-end smartphone. Considering to meet expectations of the user, the Chinese company is planning to launch the new Huawei Mate 20 in Dubai with the powerful processor.

2013 Baugier
Red • Bordeaux • Lussac Saint-Emilion AOC • France • 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc
This wine might become available again in limited quantities. Do you want to be informed when?
2013 Baugier, Bordeaux, France, Lussac Saint-Emilion AOC
The AOC Lussac-Saint-Emilion is a sub-entity of the Saint-Emilion appellation. It is located in the Libourne region and extends over the commune of Lussac itself. The appellation produces exclusively red wines and traditionally designates wines of different grape varieties.
In the center and in the north, the plateau is composed of sands of the Périgord and in the south, the hillside is characterized by clay-limestone soil. The soils are therefore very diverse and the vines are identical to those of Saint-Émilion.
This explains the similar quality of the Lussac-Saint-Emilion and the Saint-Emilion.
Concerning grape varieties: Merlot is the most commonly used grape variety for 70%, followed by Cabernet-Franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon and in lesser quantities the Malbec.
Elegant and robust, the Lussac-Saint-Emilion is distinguished with aromas and notes of candied fruit, which successfully mingle with woody notes and powerful tannins expressing all roundness.

State Sen. Kevin Parker should get help, First Lady Chirlane McCray said Wednesday.
And the city's mental health initiative Thrive, which the mayor's wife runs, is just the education he needs after he told a Senate staffer to "kill yourself" on Twitter this week.
"I'm glad he apologized and I'm going to personally encourage him to take our mental health first aid training, because I think it would be really helpful if he had a better understanding of the of how hurtful what he said was," McCray said
Parker made the outrageous comment in response to Candice Giove, a spokeswoman for the Senate Republicans, pointing out that a parking placard issued to the Brooklyn state senator had been used to illegally park in a bike lane.
Mayor de Blasio also ripped the comment.
"There's no situation where anyone should joke about suicide, period. You know, it's just inappropriate," he said.
But it's not the first time Parker has gotten himself into trouble — he's also faced legal problems after punching a traffic enforcement agent and getting into a scuffle with a news photographer.
"He should address these issues, he really should. I mean it's really important to recognize that this is not appropriate behavior and it needs to be addressed, but that is obviously a human question," de Blasio said. "And I think Chirlane makes a really good point. There are things that he could do that would help him understand and gain more sensitivity so he won't do things like this in the future."
Parker has been given a chance to address his issues in the past — a court-ordered one. He was required to attend anger management classes after the incident with the photographer.

De Blasio repeatedly declined to call for Parker to receive any specific discipline.
"I think everyone should say that it was absolutely inappropriate, it should never happen again. He should apologize and he should seek the kind of support that will help him not do things like this again," he said.
The senator's placard was issued by the Department of Transportation. Hizzoner said he'd have to check the rules to see whether it should be yanked.
"No one should be parking in a bike lane with a placard. That's an inappropriate use of a placard," he said.
Parker apologized to Giove again Wednesday and said he donated money to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

A former Wildcat is returning home to Evanston.
According to Yahoo! Sports' Pete Thamel, Northwestern is hiring current Iowa State associate head coach/running game coordinator Louis Ayeni as their next running backs coach.
Ayeni played the position during his time at NU from 1999-2003 but made the transition to safety his final year on campus — which eventually led to a short NFL career. He was a team captain in 2003 and later served as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 2008 and 2009.
Most recently, Ayeni has been coaching running backs at Iowa State since 2014 and coached at Toledo prior to that. Given that he helped recruit and coach Kareem Hunt to the Rockets and David Montgomery to the Cyclones, this figures to be a quality hire for Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald in addition to being a bit of a homecoming for a former player.

Mass gatherings have long been known to increase risks of infectious disease outbreaks. Music festivals, sporting events, religious pilgrimages, and other assemblies of significant numbers of people create conditions that strain local infrastructure, increase contact rates, overextend sanitation infrastructure, and thereby facilitate the spread of pathogens. At the same time, variations in rainfall, temperature and other climatic factors in these settings can further affect the transmission of diarrheal diseases.
In a new study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, a team of interdisciplinary researchers found that even modestly sized community gatherings were associated with increased transmission of diarrheal diseases—a major global killer—in a study region in Esmeraldas, Ecuador.
"While most of our understanding of the role of social gatherings in infectious disease spread comes from events of thousands or millions, our work shows that cultural, religious or social gatherings of just hundreds or dozens of people can be accompanied by a significant increase in endemic diarrheal diseases," says Philip Collender, an environmental health scientist at the School of Public Health who led the study.
Using a set of statistical time-series models incorporating environmental, ethnographic, and health data, the researchers found that mass gatherings were associated with an average 21 percent increase in disease incidence in host villages two weeks after a rainfall event. The excess risk jumped to 51 percent when gatherings included substantial inbound travel.
"Our results imply that not every gathering contributes equally to disease risk," says Collender. "We see evidence that the events associated with the highest risk are those involving the most crowding, which is consistent with our understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to disease transmission during gatherings."
Diarrheal diseases lead to about 2 million deaths each year, mostly among children. In communities that have limited access to sanitation and safe water, an influx of visitors can easily double the local population, overwhelming protective infrastructure and facilitating the spread of pathogens that lead to these diseases.
Preventing these outbreaks is a high priority for improving global public health. "Philip's research shows that certain social and cultural events are predictable foci of endemic disease transmission," says Justin Remais, head of Environmental Health Sciences at the School of Public Health and principle investigator of the study. "By anticipating risks associated with these gatherings, and collaborating with the local organizations that plan and organize them, we have an opportunity to prevent disease transmission through efforts to improve water, sanitation, and hygiene resources during and after the event."
The research is applicable to a range of environmental risks that are exacerbated by gaps in the resources necessary to prevent disease. "This study shows that disease transmission is a balance between increased risk factors and the resources available to provide facilities for sanitation, safe food preparation, and safe water," says Tom Torgersen, a program director in the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, which funded the research. "This knowledge is applicable to many other diseases."
The research team also included scientists from the University of Michigan, Emory University, Trinity College, and Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador. The study was supported by grants from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Health's Fogarty International Center.

Restaurant Customer Defection
Having customers return to a restaurant is vital to long-term its long-term success. Yet the customer retention performance of most restaurants is terrible and current restaurant feedback methods are partly to blame:
Study finds 70% of retail and restaurant customers never make a return visit.
This means that 70% of previously loyal customers are "at-risk" and unlikely to return. Moreover, the top 25% of customers are contributing 64% of revenue. Lose one of these, and the restaurant is in real trouble. Reasons for the defection are many. Common ones are likely to include:
- Poor Quality Of Food
- Poor Customer Service
- Unreliable Service Standards
- Dirty Housekeeping
- Incompetent Pricing
In many ways, however, the reason is irrelevant. This is because as the customer has already defected, never to return. Worse, is that they may well have complained online in Yelp or Tripadvisor. So the first you will hear of poor restaurant feedback is online, where it is already affecting the perception of prospective diners. This is also really bad news:
Ratings matter as 33% of frequent restaurant-goers would never eat at a restaurant with an average review score of less than 4 stars (out of 5) on online review websites like Yelp, Google, and Facebook
Importance of Restaurant Customer Retention
All businesses lose customers, but how important is this for restaurants? We have some data to help. In fact, we need not look any further than Starbucks. Consider the following:
- The satisfied customer visits 4.3 times per month, spends $4.06 and is a customer for 4.4 years.
- The highly satisfied customer visits 7.2 times per month, spends $4.42 and is a customer for 8.3 years.
Doing the math, the satisfied customer spends $210 per year and is worth $922 over the span of their 4.4 year customer life. The highly satisfied customer spends $382 per year. Which is an increase of $172 or 82% percent more per year—and is worth $3,170 over the span of their 8 year customer life.
We developed a Customer Defection Calculator to highlight the huge impact of losing customers. It is a free download from this page – just enter your own data. Subsequently, review why you need to focus on customer retention.
Lesson 1: What this means is that restaurant customer defection can be solved if the management focuses more on retention and less on acquisition. The stats and financials are inescapable. The big lever is moving the customers up to highly satisfied and your sales will follow.
Lesson 2: Stop Using Comment Cards – see below.
So Why Still Use Comment Cards?
So if the restaurant knows it has customer defection and knows the financial importance of retention, why do they still use feedback cards?
..And why are there so many comment card templates to choose from, yet all asking the same ineffective questions:
- Rate your overall experience
- Judge the food.
- Please rate the service you received.
- Consider the ambiance.
- Is there any other information you would like us to know?
Filling these restaurant feedback cards can be as boring as watching paint dry, and worse of all, they do not solve the problem of defection. Moreover, there are at least a dozen reasons why a restaurant should immediately tear up its existing comment cards, its current restaurant feedback methods and think again.
Use a Digital Customer Comment Card Instead
Allow the customer to use their own cell phone to give feedback. Let them use SMS feedback, Phone feedback, Smiley face feedback – in fact, any method they choose. Rotate the questions and alert the staff, within seconds if the customer is unhappy. This enables real-time action to fix the issue and recover the customer before defection. This restaurant feedback approach helps stop defection and online complaints. More information on the full feature set is here.
Solve restaurant defection, ditch the comment card and upgrade to a digital customer comment card instead.

What are the alternatives to oil and gas heating?
PUBLISHED: 16:05 15 February 2019
Romolo Tavani
Jo Malone finds out about the alternatives to heating your home with oil and gas.
Thousands of families in Norfolk who are not connected to the main gas network rely on oil or LPG gas to heat their homes and water.
But having to rely on unregulated, and in some cases, unscrupulous fuel suppliers for their domestic central heating means they fall victim to price hikes as demand increases.
For those in fuel poverty, it can mean having to turn their heating off in the winter months.
And, as anyone who was left without oil or LPG gas during the Beast of the East last winter knows, fuel deliveries can be delayed.
But there are alternative cost effective home and commercial heating solutions, and in many cases, these solutions are powered by clean renewable energy that has little to no negative impact on the environment - and which don't rely on fuel being delivered.
They include ground source heat pumps, water source heat pumps and air source heat pumps. The air source heating system is based outdoors and known for offering a highly efficient and eco-friendly way for generating the power to heat homes, businesses and other buildings.
Air source heat pumps work in much the same way as a refrigerator - except in reverse. Sitting just outside your home, they take heat from the air and boost it to a higher temperature using a heat pump. The heat pump needs electricity to run but should use less electrical energy than the heat it produces.
Max Halliwell, Communications Manager, Residential Heating at Mitsubishi Electric explains further: "They work by essentially upgrading freely available heat in the outside air, and absorbing it at low temperature into a fluid. This fluid then passes through a compressor, where its temperature is increased and transferred to the heating and hot water circuits of the house.
"Amazingly, they can work down to minus 20º C as there is still available heat in the air, even at these low temperatures."
The benefits of this alternative heating option include:
■ potentially saving money with lower fuel bills
■ can heat your home as well as your hot water
■ no fuel deliveries needed
■ lower home carbon emissions (depending on which fuel you are replacing)
■ potential income through the UK Government's Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI)
■ minimal maintenance required
■ works with your existing radiators and underfloor heating
■ works even in low temperatures
In terms of utilising renewable technologies for domestic heating, the UK is somewhat behind mainland Europe. Air source heat pumps are very popular in Europe, and their popularity continues to grow year on year.
By 2024, over 1 million units are predicted to be in use in mainland Europe, with the EU's energy efficiency targets, which have an impact on government policies across the continent, also driving the uptake of energy efficient alternative heating solutions.
The UK market is expected to grow to 30,000 units in the same time frame, but this, however, is set to grow exponentially as the UK Government has ambitious plans for the integration of air source heat pumps into its vision of a renewable future.
Designed to help the UK achieve its targets of producing 12pc of its own heat from renewable sources by 2020, the Renewable Heat Incentive is a Government funded scheme that provides payments to homeowners who generate their own heat.
Although it is aimed at households off of the mains gas grid, it is not limited to them, and any homeowner who has installed a qualifying renewable heat source is able to apply for the quarterly payments.
Air source heat pumps, such as Mitsubishi Electric's Ecodan range, qualify for payments via the RHI. The estimated average annual RHI payments for air source heat pumps are £1,259 and are paid for seven years, making a huge contribution towards the cost of installing an air source heat pump.
In the UK, reversing our reliance on traditional fossil fuels, such as oil and gas, and switching to more renewable forms of energy has long been a question of 'when', rather than 'if' it will happen. Resources are limited and the current controversy about fracking, suggests there's a limit to how far people are prepared to go to get the very last drops.
"Despite the introduction of energy price caps, potential future fuel shortages and the rules of supply and demand, mean that most households are going to see domestic heating taking an increasing slice of their household budgets - providing further incentives to invest in renewable and low carbon technologies," said Mr Halliwell.

Although the entrance of the country's second national operator (SNO) is seen as a threat to Telkom's future revenues, the dual-listed telecommunications giant on Friday said it welcomes Minister of Communications Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri's granting of the licence to the second operator.
"Telkom welcomes the minister's announcement on granting a PSTS [public switched telecommunications services] licence to the SNO as part of continuing with the liberalisation of the telecommunications sector," Telkom spokesperson Ravin Maharaj said.
"Telkom is looking forward to robust competition."
The PSTS licence granted to SNO is the same licence that Telkom has.
With the imminent entrance of its rival, the group is set to compete with voice-over-internet protocol operators and PSTS service-based competition.
The group said it is not threatened by the latest telecommunication sector developments, but rather hails it.
"We believe further competition will create more choice and increase availability of infrastructure to the public and this will ultimately benefit the continued development of the first and second economy," Maharaj added.
South African specialised business process eQuals Group on Friday said the entry of Telkom's rival bodes well for entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
"If this ultimately results in telecommunications costs coming down, it can only be a shot in the arm for entrepreneurs and for small businesses in general," the group said in a statement, noting that SMEs is one of the sectors where real employment is being created.
"It is also a fillip, in general, for outsourcing, in particular for call centres. This is also a domain in which there is growing job creation for South Africans and if telecommunications costs come down, we will be able to compete more competitively from a global perspective."
SNO might not see light of day
The chances are that the SNO will not see the light of day, said official opposition communications spokesperson Dene Smuts.
Smuts, a Democratic Alliance MP, said the licensing is rendered meaningless "given the fact that the 19% shareholder Nexus is taking the process on judicial review. Nexus is fully within its rights in doing so."
The MP said only the belated gazetting a fortnight ago of measures permitting resale, self-provisioning, voice-over-internet protocol and other forms of liberalisation that will challenge Telkom "and allow our telecoms and IT industries to flourish" rescued Matsepe-Casaburri's ministry from condemnation. — I-Net Bridge

renal portal system
renal portal system defined in 1951 yearrenal portal system - renal portal system;
renal portal system - In fish and Amphibia blood is brought from capillaries of posterior end of body (hind limbs, tail) to kidneys by a pair of renal portal veins (really part of posterior cardinal veins), which break up into capillaries in kidney mainly around tubules. Blood is collected up again either into posterior cardinal veins (fish) or renal veins and vena cava inferior (Amphibia). This portal system is slightly or not at all developed in amniotes, which have a different sort of kidney (metanephros). See also: Portal vein.

After having been in a car accident in Bozeman, your first concern (after seeing to the care of yourself and others involved, of course) is often focused on the conduct of the driver that caused the collision. Assigning liability in such a situation may be much easier if you are able to establish that he or she was driving recklessly. The easiest way to do this is typically determining whether the driver was speeding. This may seem simple given that speed limits are typically clearly posted, yet that is not always the case.
Should your accident occur at or near a speed limit sign, the responsible driver's claim that he or she was not aware of what the limit was may be met with skepticism. What if, however, it happens on a stretch of roadway where the speed limit was not clearly marked? Montana's Annotated Code establishes speed limits on roads even where one may not be posted.
According to state law, the implied speed limits for the following areas are as follows:
- Urban districts: 25 miles an hour
- Federal interstate highways (within urban areas): 65 miles an hour
- Federal interstate highways (outside of urban areas) 80 miles an hour
- Public highways: 70 miles an hour during the day, 65 miles an hour at night
For the purposes of this law, an urban area is considered to be one with a population greater than 50,000.
In situations where roadway conditions, adverse weather, reduced visibility or high traffic volumes warrant it, the law states that drivers should not exceed "careful and prudent" speed. Thus, when driving conditions are poor, you may be able to argue that the driver that caused your car accident was speeding even if he or she was not exceeding the posted speed limit.

TRC's weekly industry digest - a round-up of international racing news from the past week.
12 American entries for Royal Ascot
Europe: Royal Ascot has confirmed that six overseas countries will be represented at this year's festival. Entries for the eight G1 races at this year's meeting were revealed, with representation from six overseas countries - Australia, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan and the USA.
The potential raiders include 12 American entries, three each from Australia and Japan, plus one from Hong Kong.
"We're very pleased with the variety and quality of the Royal Ascot entries this year," said Nick Smith, director of Racing and Communications at Ascot.
"Seven countries, including Britain, are represented, and among them a Hong Kong Chairman's Sprint Prize winner, two U.S.-trained Breeders' Cup winners and a dual winner of the Group 1 Newmarket Handicap in Australia."
Turf Classic gets a new sponsor
North America: Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is the new title sponsor of the G1 Turf Classic at Churchill Downs. It replaces Woodford Reserve, which is the new presenting sponsor of the Kentucky Derby.
"Louisville always brings its best with Kentucky Derby season," said Campbell Brown, president of Old Forester, "and we're proud to carry forth the Brown-Forman tradition and present the Old Forester Turf Classic."
The 2018 Turf Classic will be the race before the Kentucky Derby on May 5.
Major boost for the Eclipse
Europe: The Jockey Club has announced that Coral's sponsorship of the G1 Eclipse Stakes at Sandown Park has been extended for a further five years.
As part of the extension, the bookmaker will offer up an increased prize pot of £750,000 from next year, £250,000 above the 2017 purse. The Eclipse is the longest-running sponsored Group race in Britain and the 2018 renewal - on July 7 - will be the 43rd running as the Coral-Eclipse.
The 1m2f contest is the first opportunity for the 3-year-old classic generation to take on older horses at G1 level and has been won by such distinguished horses as Mill Reef, Sadler's Wells, Giant's Causeway, Sea The Stars and Golden Horn.
Career-high fee for Snitzel
Oceania: Snitzel, currently world #3 in the TRC Global Sires' Rankings, will stand at a career-high A$220,000 at Arrowfield Stud in the upcoming Australian breeding season.
The Australian champion sire covered a book of 216 mares for a fee of A$176,000 last year. The 15-year old also produced 25 stakes winners, including G1 winners Trapeze Artist, Redzel, Russian Revolution and Golden Slipper winner Estijaab.
Wagering record at Ohio racetrack
North America: Following the conclusion of its 63-day 2018 winter-spring meet, Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course in Ohio recorded a 23.6 per cent spike in wagering per race for the 63-day stand.
The track reported gross handle of $65,358,215, for a track record average of $127,156 wagered per race, up from the $102,873 garnered for the 2017 winter-spring meet.
"We benefited from a stronger overall product and a continued increase of product awareness and availability in the marketplace," said Mark Loewe, Vice President of Racing for Mahoning Valley.
BHA has a new regulatory chief
Europe: The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has named Brant Dunshea as its new chief regulatory officer. He succeeds compatriot Jamie Stier, who returns to his native Australia to take up a post with Racing Victoria. Dunshea will assume his new role with immediate effect. The Australian has been the BHA's director of integrity and regulatory operations since 2015.

Those familiar with Tacitus' writings of Gaul will recognize that the possibility of a feast turning into a fight between guests was very real. Up until close to the 16th century, most people utilized a dagger that was essentially the same as a utility or small combat implement. According to the History Channel special called "Axes, Knives, and Swords" outbreaks of fights at dinners were a real concern throughout medieval ages. I am wondering if there are many late examples people know of medieval dinners turning into combat? As background, the History Channel special made several statements. The dinner fork as a popular dinning implement is considered to have originated in 11th century Italy. Complete dining sets (spoons, knives and forks) were being produced during the 15th century. At some point in 1559, a monarch (thought it said King Louis ?? but am not sure) ordered that all of the dinner knives for a party have points rounded off and be dulled so as not to be overly dangerous. Guests were not to bring combat like implements to the dinner. The trend in dining flatware as we know it took over rapidly from there to present day times. Absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence!
