Two prominent indian physicians recently described the clinical trials of new drugs in India as a 'new colonialism'. In an article published by a leading us medical journal, Samiran Nundy and Chandra Gulhati drew particular attention to 'illegal and unethical trials' conducted without regulatory approval.footnote1 But a moral critique of this kind, however legitimate in its own terms, does not adequately grasp the network of economic and social relations that the international health industry has established on a global scale. Even if all clinical trials conducted in India or other Third World countries adhered to the letter of the law and the spirit of ethical codes, the very structure of this network would remain one of exploitation. I shall outline here the dynamics of clinical trials in India, focusing especially on the huge capacity currently being built up in anticipation of the transfer of global trials to the subcontinent. This will provide a basis for interpreting the phenomenon in terms of concepts developed by myself and others currently researching this field, particularly those of biocapital and surplus health.
Clinical trials are the set of practices required to certify a new drug molecule as safe and efficacious for the market.footnote2 In the United States, the clinical-trials procedure is an elaborate one, conducted in a number of stages and contributing to the immense time, risk and expense of the drug development process. First, there is pre-clinical toxicological testing of a potential new drug molecule. This is usually performed on animals, in order to determine whether the molecule being tested is safe enough to put into a living system. The second stage is that of dosage studies, designed to come up with a metric for the dose of the drug to be administered. Predictably, the efficacy of a drug increases with its dose, but so too does its toxicity; the aim is therefore to find an optimum range within which efficacy is maximized without too greatly compromising safety. If the drug is too toxic when tried on animals, the trial will not proceed any further, but if acceptable dose ranges can be determined, the third stage is a three-phase trial in humans. Phase 1 trials are conducted on a small number of healthy volunteers to test the drug's basic safety, since drugs that seem safe in animals may still show adverse effects in humans. Phase 2, which serves as a bridge, involves larger, scaled-up efficacy and safety trials on as many as a few hundred subjects, who may be either patients or healthy individuals. Phase 3 involves large-scale randomized trials on several thousand people, usually patients suffering from the ailment for which the therapy has been developed. These trials are frequently co-ordinated across multiple centres, increasingly on a global scale.
The sponsors for trials are generally biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, since drug development in the us and most other parts of the world is undertaken largely by the private sector. Universities and publicly funded laboratories play a major role in the early stages of discovery—the identification of potential lead molecules and the conduct of pre-clinical tests—but the institutional structure of drug development is such that they increasingly license promising molecules to corporations that take them through clinical trials. This means that the biomedical and experimental rationales for clinical trials are completely entwined with the market value these companies see in the drugs that eventually get developed, and the market risk that attends the drug development process. According to the Healthcare Financial Management Association's newsletter, 'twenty years ago, 80 per cent of clinical research trials were conducted through academic medical centres. In 1998, estimates indicated the number of [these] centres as investigator sites had dropped to less than half.'footnote3 Health research and production is thus progressively captured by capital, and now needs to be seen as a semi-autonomous branch of it.footnote4 The organizational complexity of clinical trials does however mean that it has been hard for pharmaceutical companies to manage them, leading to the emergence of an entirely new sector devoted to the management and administration of clinical trials. These companies, known as clinical research organizations (cros), are now an integral part of the overall biomedical economy.
The movement of clinical trials to international—non-us—locations started in earnest in the mid-1990s. Adriana Petryna cites figures that point to a dramatic growth in the number of human subjects recruited into these trials, from 4,000 in 1995 to 400,000 in 1999.footnote5 A recent study by the consulting firm A. T. Kearney shows that roughly half of the 1,200 us clinical trials in 2005 made use of an international site.footnote6 In the 1990s, as Petryna notes, most of this growth occurred in countries that had agreed to harmonize standards in commercial drug testing with the guidelines set by the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. These primarily included Latin American and Eastern European countries, but not yet India. Over the past two years, however, India has become one of the most dynamic sites for the establishment and growth of clinical research.
In India, a range of local actors currently see the country as providing an extremely attractive destination for outsourced clinical trials from the West. Contract research in the Indian pharmaceutical industry is already robust, and was estimated by the Chemical Pharmaceutical Generic Association to be worth between $100 and $120 million in 2005, while growing at 20 to 25 per cent per year.footnote7 A further influx of global clinical trials is eagerly awaited. Who are these actors, and upon what do they base their expectations?

After narrowly losing her rematch with bantamweight champion Amanda nunes last weekend, Valentina Shevchenko is now plotting a move down to the UFC's newly created women's flyweight division instead.
"I'm thinking to move to 125 (pounds), and I think more probably my next fight it will be in this division," Shevchenko told Submission Radio yesterday. "Because 125 is like much closer weight for me. It's my real weight category, and even at 135 I feel comfortable, and I feel like 125 I will be able to use all my techniques and all my skills because I will fight with the same-sized opponents as me."
This isn't an unexpected move as there's always been suggested that 'Bullet' is a little undersized for 135lbs, though it's a credit to her skill-set that she's been able to operate at such a high level there, defeating the likes of Holly Holmh, Julianna Pena and Sarah Kaufman along the way.
However, 125lbs is likely to be a much more natural fit for her.
"In my Muay Thai fights, I was fighting every time at 125. The last year I was moving a little bit up in weight class, but it was 130. So I feel very comfortable at 125.
"And even at 125, we can have like opponents (that are) very tall, but of course it will be the same physical conditions – the same head, the same size arms and everything, the same like mine."
That being said, Shevchenko also still believes that a third fight with Nunes will happen at some stage in the future, given the close nature of their previous two encounters.
"Of course, it's on my mind, and I still want it. Not right now, not in the near future, but definitely it will happen."

In my continuing exploration of the work of Alexander Shaia in his book, The Hidden Power of the Gospels, I have been revisiting most recently his discussion of the Gospel of John. What moves me most deeply about his discussion is the way in which he teases out John's beautiful and overarching image of the unity of all things as the key to the new life to which Jesus the Christ gives us access. When John speaks in his gospel of "the world", Shaia notes that he is speaking of the illusions to which we human beings fall victim. The principal illusion is of separateness leading to division. As Shaia says,
Our untransformed ego-self will persistently try to spring traps, tempting us to perceive our world and ourselves as a series of divisions instead of an indivisible whole. It will keep asking us to separate things and to make either/or judgments. It will try to force everything into black or white.
John would urge us to enter into the life of the Spirit, or the perspective of the Christ, which sees the unity that underlies all things and recognizes that the peace which passes all understanding lies in the grace to be able to bring opposites into harmony. This spiritual vision is ultimately more a matter of the heart than of the head.
Wonderfully, Shaia points out that as John unfolds his beautiful, unitive vision, it is interrupted by glimpses of his own struggle to live into the vision he perceives. There are moments of anger in his gospel where he lashes out at "the Jews", for example. Shaia laments the fact that in Christian history, these passages have been used as a justification for anti-Semitism. Yet, Shaia points out that John himself was a Jew, as was Jesus, and these outbursts betray an anger with Jewish teachers and leaders rather than with the Jewish people as a whole. Nevertheless, they also betray the fact that John himself is still reaching for the fullness of the unitive spiritual vision he so carefully lays out.
We certainly find ourselves living in a time when the illusion of separateness is seen as the way things truly are. The level of conflict in our public life (let alone in our private lives) is largely informed by an "us versus them" perspective that prevents us from perceiving that we are, in fact, all one. Our dualistic thinking, so deeply ingrained in us, fuels our sense that "they" are a threat to "us" or "he" is a threat to "me", and thus I must do all I can to secure my own interests. We do not perceive that our interests are inextricably bound up with the interests of the "other".
Recently, I heard an interview with a twenty-something man somewhere in the country about the upcoming Presidential election. He regarded himself as an Independent, aligned with neither major party. He said that sometimes he voted for Democrats and at other times he voted Republican. He wasn't sure how he would vote this year, but allowed as how, in the end, "I gotta take care of me." And it is precisely this preoccupation with "taking care of me" that leads us to forget that all these "me's" are connected up.
Sadly, the state of Christianity these days is such that many Christians and churches also fail to grasp the unity to which John's Gospel is pointing us. We fail to experience the depth of the Christ ourselves, we fall victim to illusion and dualistic thinking, and so too often we adopt a "my way is the only way to heaven" approach that serves to widen the imagined chasm between "them" and "us". We fail to see how this approach does damage not only to others but to ourselves.
In just two weeks, Christians will begin the season of Lent, a period traditionally devoted to deeper reflection on the truths of our faith and the ways in which we are and are not living into them. Perhaps we should spend some time this Lent with John's Gospel and with Shaia's chapter on John's Gospel, seeking to find again John's grand vision and allowing him to help us meet the Christ who leads us out of illusion into the unity of the Spirit, in which we find God embracing all of us and all that is in a single, unifying love. It is, after all, as a witness to that love that Jesus came into the world as the Christ-bearer, seeking to bring into our limited human illusions the truth of eternity.

The Medieval Wars 2013 has ended, but there is still one more match to be played. The votes for the Dream Team has been counted, but will your chosen ones be able to compete with the winners in TyRanT?
Time will show.
The top 4 voted players for the Dream Team were the following:
Luckily, all 4 of them has accepted to play the DreamTeam Match, and we are destined for some really great games! We intend to have all the games streamed for all of you to watch LIVE!
The settings have been decided by the staff, and will be played as a Best of 5 Series with the settings described below:
Game 1: 4v4 Arabia
Game 2: 4v4 Hills (LR)
Game 3: 4v4 Mediterranean
Game 4: 4v4 Yucatan
Game 5: 1v1 Arabia, with - Mongols/Spanish/Celts/Britons wars
Additional information:
- All games except Game 5 will have a free choice of civilizations
- In case of a 2-2 score and a tie in Game 5, the winners will advance for 1v1 Arabia, with Mirrored civilizations. If it ties again, the winners will advance for a final 1v1 Arabia with Mirrored civilizations, in order to determine the winner of the Dreamteam Match.
The Medieval Wars 2013 Final Standings:
1st - TyRanT
By losing two games in total through the whole tournament, it goes without saying that TyRanT has, once again, proven to be the strongest team. Beating RVK 6-1 in a convincing fashion during the Grand Finals was indeed their highlight as they lived up to the expectations, bringing home the winning prize of 3250$.
2nd - Revenge of Knight
Being the fan favourites, a lot of Age of Empires II fans wanted to finally see TyRanT dethroned by RVK. Proving strong enough to reach the Grand Final without much trouble, there seemed to be yet another distance to cover before they can reach that goal. Maybe we will see the RVK team more prepared, well practiced and stronger when War is Coming? For now, they have to settle with 2nd place and 2250$.
3rd - Chinese Kung Fu
Winning the Bronze Finals on an Admin Win is not the way anyone would have it, nor CKF themselves, but unfortunately sometimes such decisions have to be made. Being one of the two teams to take a win off the winners, they follow up The Tribal Wars with stable, strong performances, and we are looking forward to see what the so far dominant Chinese team can prepare for when War is Coming. They won a total of 1250$.
! As soon as TMW13 ended, the team issued out a challenge for RVK to put up 500$ each in a Best of 11 series to find out which team is the stronger. The challenge was accepted, and hopefully we'll see their games soon!
4th - SY Team
Again, unfortunate turn of events when they had to give an Admin Win to CKF in the Bronze Final, but they still made it into a strong 4th place, securing two Chinese teams in the top 4. SY keeps improving, and will without doubt be a top placement contender for future events, maybe they can take a big step and compete for the top spot soon? With their 4th place, they brought 950$ across the borders.
5th - Power of Japan
If you haven't watched POJ's matches throughout this tournament, you've missed out bigtime. Not being seeded in the top 8 seemed to make the Japanese team burn to prove it a mistake, and deary me did they do so! All of their games in the Final Stage, besides vs TyRanT, all ended in 4:3 victories! That means that in every stage they had an ace match, and showed everyone that they perform extremely well under pressure! Maybe the Tournament Administration will think twice before leaving them out of the top seed again? The most impressive team of the tournament made a total winnings of 600$ with their 5th place.
6th - Viet Nam Strategy A
Being lead by Masters of Arabia 2v2 Edition finalists, bacgioifro and Yellow, a lot of us were curious on how far they could go in The Medieval Wars. Everything went smooth untill they hit a rock in SY Team at the Quarter-Finals and were knocked down to the Placement Matches. Beating (hong kong) Poison of Zone in an extremely tight 4:3 victory helped them advance to the 5th Place Match, where they fell short in another 3:4 match against POJ. The vietnamese keep improving, and they've shown their potential in the tournaments these recent years, but only the future will show how far they can really go! Their 6th place brings them 450$.
7th - (hong kong) Poison of Zone
Still going strong after all these years and still placing high in every single tournament. (hong kong) poZ is a team that shows and delivers every single tournament, and deserve the utmost respect for their efforts over the years. We're sure they had higher ambitions for The Medieval Wars, but a 7th place is still very strong with the line up of the teams above, even though they won the 7th Place Match on an Admin Win. Winning 350$ this tournament, we expect to see them once again when War is Coming!
8th - Team Fully Torqued
Merging for this tournament, the team had enormous potential. The ambitions were high, and everything seemed so promising after beating aLcoHooligans 4:0 in the First Round of the Final Stage. But, after falling short to CKF, followed by a loss to POJ, the motivation for the team to complete the tournament in style seemed to fall drastically, and they unfortunately ended up having to award (hong kong) poZ and Admin Win for the 7th Place Match. Will the team stay together in order to redeem themselves, or will they walk seperate paths and seek honor and fame elsewhere? The future seems uncertain for TFT, but what is certain is that they win 200$ for finishing 8th.
At last, The Medieval Wars 2013 Administration wants to thank everyone who has been watching and shown interest in the tournament. We also want to thank all the teams and players who took part, from the first round to the last, and hope that you felt that we did a good job guiding you through this amazing event. And of course we can't forget the sponsor, words can't describe what he's doing for this game.
Any constructive criticism or feedback about the tournament is very welcome from every single one of you.
But for now we're building up for the first edition of the Clash of the Titans, and hope both players and viewers will show the same excitement in order to make it a huge success! Thanks again!
War is Coming.

Each project has its own unique variables and demands, even when the common desired outcome is the installation of all new washers and dryers in occupied residential units. Regardless of the supporting work that is required for a retrofit like this one in southern California, LEK teams employ our "build clean" approach which ensures that all spaces are cleaned up and masked off at the conclusion of each workday, for minimal disruption. To complete the overall project at Avalon Bay Communities, the following supporting work was required:
- Designed and built a new sewage ejection system and main sewer
- Installed complete electrical upgrades and new sub panels throughout the property
- Upsized hot and cold water lines for washers and installed waste lines in the garages
- Completed all framing and finishing work
Project Details
Avalon Communities
10979 Bluffside Dr., Studio City, CA
450 occupied residential apartment units

Featured Projects
Operating efficiently and non-invasively in an occupied, high-rise residential community requires a disciplined plan and sound execution.
While all projects demand our dedication to completing quality work efficiently, some require extremely fast turnaround times.
LEK Enterprises was tasked to install all new washers and dryers in 400 individual occupied units.
Whenever there is a need to test for asbestos, understanding in advance, the broader scope and timeline for a re-piping project, brings an increased level of uncertainty.
For this Arizona property, LEK crews assumed an aggressive timeline and project schedule for installing all new washers and dryers in each individual unit.
LEK Enterprises Inc. was able to provide valuable upgrades and required safety retrofitting to this large upscale apartment community in Santa Clara.
LEK Enterprises Inc. worked alongside the building manager and residents to upgrade many safety functions on their one to two unit apartments and bring them to code.
The Pier at Sausalito is an established luxury condo-living building located with a gorgeous view of San Francisco.

Andrew McIver, former CEO of Sportingbet, has been confirmed as the new CEO of Intertain.
The owner of Gamesys' customer-facing assets also made the announcement of Neil Goulden taking over as Chairman of the Board and both Goulden and McIver's positions are effective immediately.
McIver is listed as a non-executive director of consultancy Daniel Stewart and left a position with the same title at digital sports technology provider Chroma Sports in May.
GVC Holdings, now the owner of BwinParty, brought about the end of McIver's time with SportingBet when it purchased the operator for approximately £485m in 2013, where McIver had been CEO for over six years and CFO for approximately five years prior to that.
Intertain confirmed in February that John Kennedy FitzGerald would be stepping down from the role of CEO, as FitzGerald had informed the board that "the central focus of the Chief Executive Officer will change from asset acquisition to operational excellence and that the board should pursue a process for the recruitment of a new Chief Executive Officer with this demonstrated skill competency".
That followed an independent committee review, conducted on the back of a report on Intertain published by investment management firm Spruce Point Management, which made various criticisms about the running of Intertain and claimed that FitzGerald had had his licence to practice law surrendered.
Intertain said the report's claims were "wrong in every material aspect".
Goulden, who has been in the gaming industry for 25 years, is a former COO, CEO and Chairman of Gala Coral and stood down from being chair of the Responsible Gambling Trust in January.
Another change will be made in the position of CFO, as current CFO Keith Laslop is to become President of Intertain Bahamas, but will continue in the same role until a new CFO is appointed.
Intertain bought the customer-facing assets held by Gamesys Group for £425.8m last year.

Going Up | Best Selling F/F Romance with an Ice Queen Twist
Going Up
Ice Queen meets her match in this lesbian romance
A ruthless executive. A destitute woman. Both on the way up.
Selina Hale is on her way to the top. She's been working towards a boardroom position on the thirteenth floor for her entire career. And no one is going to get in her way. Not her clueless boss, her soon to be ex-wife, and most certainly not the homeless person who has moved into the car park at work.
Kate Morgan fell through the cracks in a broken support system and found herself destitute. Determined and strong-willed, she's not about to accept help from a mean business woman who can't even remember the names of her own nephews.
As their lives continue to intertwine, they have no choice but to work together and follow each other on their journey up.
Chapter One
Jonathan Addington leaned back in his chair. His fingers were interlaced behind his head, and a slimy grin slithered across his young features. Selina wondered how he ever managed to do business with anyone with an expression and attitude like that. He probably thought he was charming, roguish. In truth, his unpleasantness was too strong to be covered by a half-hearted grin.
"So, you see what I'm saying?"
He'd said a lot since he entered Selina's office ten minutes ago. Most of it was focused on the end-of-year figures and the predicted turnover for the coming period. Namely, the fact that profits were down.
Of course, he'd started by mentioning how Selina's hard work over the years had saved the company from bankruptcy, but that was only a pathetic attempt to butter her up before diving into a conversation about how revenues continued to drop.
"You're saying," Selina said, leaning into her high back chair and pinning him with a look, "that you want further cuts."
"Exactly." Jonathan sat forward. He brought his hand up and made a scissor action with his fingers. "Chop, chop. I thought you might have some ideas?"
It took every single piece of willpower that Selina possessed to not roll her eyes at him. She placed her hands on her desk and gently rolled her chair back. She stood up and walked over to the large office window, which, on the twelfth floor, overlooked the gloomy car park and railway line.
Not the office on the thirteenth floor that overlooked the award-winning park, the one she had been coveting for nearly thirty years.

Virgin Media is closing on a deal with European music service Spotify having failed to secure its own contracts with Big Music.
The Telegraph is reporting that Virgin has put its own service 'on the back burner' after three of the big four publishing companies declined its advances.
Virgin has apparently already built the back-end of the unlimited subscription service, but has no music to populate it. Hooking up with the already established Spotify could fix that shortcoming in a trice.
A source 'close to Spotify' told the newspaper, "Spotify and Virgin Media are close to concluding a partnership deal. The finer details are not yet known, but Spotify will be offering new tools and content exclusively to Virgin customers as part of the arrangement."
Quite how Warner, Sony and EMI will respond to Virgin trying to sneak in through Spotify's back door remains to be seen.

On February 23, 1948, the NBTHK was established for the purpose of preserving Japanese Art Swords. Since its founding over 65 years ago, it has been the leading organization solely devoted to the study and preservation of the Nihonto or Japanese Sword.
One of the primary purposes of the Society is to preserve Japanese Art Swords that are registered with the Japanese government. Every hand forged sword in Japan that has artistic merit is registered and issued a Torokusho by the government. This small (about 3" x 4") laminated paper gives a registration number, date, place of registration, name, length, and other identifying details. There are thousands of Torokusho registered and each year, the NBTHK adds more to the permanent registry, classified according to the merits of each sword.
The Society not only classifies swords, but each year holds contests for sword making, sword polishing, shirasaya making, and habaki and kodogu (fittings) making. They also hold classes for the study of sword polishing.
The general offices and most of the activities are in the Token Hakubutsukan (Sword Museum), which is currently located in Yoyogi, Tokyo. In May of 1968, the construction of this building was finished and the Society moved from the Tokyo National Museum into their new headquarters. The Museum is a four-story reinforced concrete building with a total of 17,000 square feet.
The NBTHK, with the support of the National Treasury and Hitachi Metals, Inc., also supervises the operation of the Tatara (iron smelting furnace) in Yokota, Shimane. This furnace is crucial to the production of Tamahagane, the traditional raw steel used in the creation of true Nihonto. Every year, the Tatara produces several tons of Tamahagane to be distributed to licensed swordsmiths for the crafting of beautiful contemporary Japanese Art swords.

2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
Sabtu, 15 Desember 2018 Tambah Komentar Edit
2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price - NEW FOR 2019, After a whole remodel for 2018, the Equinox will probable now not get hold of any good sized updates for the 2019 model yr. The Equinox is located above the smaller Trax and below the bigger Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban in Chevrolet's crossover and SUV lineup.
There's a lot to love about the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, even though the first-class configuration calls for a cautious hand on the order sheet. As drivers fill their garages with crossover SUVs in preference to sedans, the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox stands proud for its surprisingly large lineup. With the 2019 Equinox, Chevrolet offers consumers a choice among two gas engines, a excessive-mpg turbodiesel engine, the front- or all-wheel power, and 4 trim stages. After a redesign ultimate 12 months, the 2019 Equinox profits up to date infotainment software program for its 7.zero- and eight.zero-inch touchscreens and an available HD rearview camera. 2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
The 2018 Equinox trims should deliver over into 2019 and encompass the bottom L, LS, LT, and most reliable. popular features on the bottom trim for 2018 blanketed 17-inch wheels, a 7.0-inch multimedia touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android automobile, OnStar steerage, and heated and power adjustable facet view mirrors. The pinnacle ultimate trim comes widespread with 19-inch wheels, LED headlights and rear lights, heated the front seats, eight-manner electricity adjustable driving force's seat, blind-spot tracking with rear-go traffic alert, a palms-loose liftgate, and an eight.zero-inch touchscreen.
The 2018 powertrains must bring over and consist of a a hundred and seventy-hp 1.five-liter turbo-four, a 252-hp 2.zero-liter faster-four, and a 1.6-liter turbodiesel I-4 that produces 137 hp and 240 lb-feet of torque. A six-pace automated backs the 1.5-liter faster-four at the same time as the 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine and the 2.zero-liter faster-four makes use of a nine-velocity automatic. All powertrains come preferred with front-wheel force and are to be had with all-wheel pressure. In 2018, EPA-rated gasoline economy numbers ranged from 22/28 mpg metropolis/motorway with the AWD 2.zero-liter faster-4 to 28/39 mpg with the the front-pressure turbodiesel. 2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
motive force-assist protection tech will probably retain into 2019 unchanged. Chevrolet's safety tech at the Equinox includes ahead collision alert, low-pace automated emergency braking, lane hold assist with lane departure warning, blind-spot tracking with lane exchange alert, and rear-pass traffic alert. we hope the automatic emergency braking gadget is progressed to a wider range of speeds.
A surround imaginative and prescient digicam device and a rear seat reminder function also are to be had on the Equinox. OnStar additionally gives several protection offerings which include automated crash response, emergency offerings, roadside help, and stolen car help.
2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
The Equinox's tech will in all likelihood carry over into 2019 with a widespread 7.0-inch multimedia touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android automobile that can be upgraded to an 8.0-inch touchscreen that provides SiriusXM satellite tv for pc radio and an elective navigation system. The upgraded audio device is an optionally available seven-speaker Bose machine. A 4G LTE wi-fi hotspot is to be had and the myChevrolet mobile app lets in the owner to start/forestall the engine, lock/free up the doorways, honk the horn and flash the lights. The youngster motive force feature allows owners to reveal the using traits of a new driver.
In 2018 Motor fashion SUV of the 12 months testing, we appreciated the Equinox's spacious returned seat and competent road manners and handling. The optionally available 2.0-liter faster-4 supplied masses of strength and the 9-velocity transmission shifts properly. however, we didn't just like the poorly positioned, dimly lit, and motive force-selectable all-wheel-power switch or "its suspect build nice: The door sheet metal flexes if you gently brush in opposition to it, the hatchback creaks when opened and closed, and a unusual, booming sound emanates from the again of the cabin at toll road speeds. 2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox may be mild on thrills, but all variations carry out nicely. With three engines on provide, the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox looks to have something for everyone. It nearly succeeds and models with the two.zero-liter faster-four could earn a factor above average for his or her robust acceleration.
most Equinox crossovers use a 1.five-liter inline-four rated at one hundred seventy horsepower and 203 pound-ft of torque that sends strength to the the front or all four wheels via a 6-velocity automatic. This setup is perfectly ok for maximum use, with appropriate shift satisfactory and masses of around-metropolis scoot.
those interested by greater thrust have to opt for the 2.0-liter faster-four available inside the LT and optimum trim tiers. With 252 hp and 260 pound-feet of torque on faucet, the bigger turbo-four not often struggles. Its nine-velocity automatic can seem confused via the variety of cogs available. Don't anticipate the maximum powerful Equinox to be a sports automobile alternative, however. just like the rest of the lineup, its coping with is good, with assured guidance and a supple trip—however it's no sportier.
likely to be rare on supplier plenty, at the least except gasoline costs spike, is the turbodiesel alternative. The 1.6-liter turbodiesel's 137 hp might also sound weak, but the 240 pound-toes of torque that comes on at 2,000 rpm can provide decent overall performance. The diesel option may be thrifty—the EPA says it's right for 32 mpg blended—however it's now not without its demerits. For one, towing ability is simply 1,500 pounds compared to 3,500 pounds for the two.zero-liter fuel engine, which erases one traditional cause for getting a turbodiesel. furthermore, the choice charges $2,four hundred, that allows you to take a long time for even long-haul drivers to get better.
2019 Chevrolet Equinox Review, Specs, Price
regardless of engine, the Equinox has a quiet, composed journey and its steerage is light but accurate. In our testing, we've discovered that models with the 17-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin rubber—L, LS, and most LTs—can sense a little squirrely while pushed. The 18-inch Hankook tires on excessive-spec fashions deliver crisper dealing with with none sizeable detriment to the way the crossover rides.
No Equinox is ready for off-road use past a trundle up a dust driveway, which makes its element-time all-wheel-pressure device a head-scratcher. The machine may be set in two-wheel-pressure mode to store gas, which seems quality, however drivers have to then consider to flip it again to all-wheel force when the snow flies or the rain drops. For pavement-orientated crossovers together with the Equinox, we decide on easier systems that disconnect the rear wheels robotically and don't require motive force intervention.

Well the walls are papered and the painting is done,but the place is a mess, it'll have to stay that way till I'm ready to sort it. as tomorrow morning I've got the optician.
I have to get different blinds as the ones I got were cobalt blue, and the blue in the paper is turquoise., though I might settle for venetian blinds, so when I get that sorted I'll take some photos.
I haven't been too much of a lazy bones while Martin's been busy, I've caught up with gardening chores, cleaning out and tidying two sheds, planted tomatoes and a large sage in a pot. I'm patting myself on the back,
Hope you've all had a good Week-end.

I am glad Ruby is better! I was reading this somewhere the other day, can't remember where, that the reason that dogs are bothered by storms is because of the static electricity in the air during a storm. It said to rub their coats with a dryer softener sheet, that it would remove the static electricity from their coats. Use only the unscented kind. For what it's worth, I have no idea if it is reasonable or would work.ReplyDelete

As I write this musing, it is Valentine's Day. I thought I would wax poetic on how love has impacted different music genres through the years. Then I realized I didn't know what the hell that last sentence meant. In football terms, I dropped back and punted.
I then decided to see what my music catalog turned up when I searched for "love". It returned 926 songs that had "love" in the song title, performer's name, or album title. Once again I am amazed at the diversity in my catalog. Contrary to my sweet Valentine's belief, there are songs more recent than 1995 in the list.
I won't bore you with all the songs, but here are some that grabbed my eye as I scrolled through the list:
- Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love by Van Halen – my favorite DLR era song. Don't think they had Valentine's Day in mind when they wrote this….
- Anything for Love by Meat Loaf – this song revived his career in the 90's. Love this song and glad to get to see him do it live.
- Burning Love by Elvis – E loved him some love songs.
- Calling Dr Love by KISS. Again, this goes in the category of "don't think Valentine's Day was on their mind".
- Cool Love by Pablo Cruise – have always loved this song. Still hoping Dave Jenkins will do it live someday.
- Deeper Kinda Love by Sammy Hagar – a hidden gem by the Red Rocker.
- Endless Love by Lionel Richie – don't hate.
- Heard It in A Love Song by Marshall Tucker Band – a classic that causes me to pause every time I hear the opening notes.
- I Wanna Learn A Love Song by Harry Chapin – one of my favorites by Harry.
- Love in the Midnight by Styx – I can still hear the 8-track fade out and back in as the track changed on this deep cut on Cornerstone.
- When It's Love by Van Halen – my favorite Sammy-era song.
- When You Need My Love by Darryl Worley – the twist he puts on the lyrics on the last verse is great songwriting.
As you can see by the sampling above, love appears in all kinds of songs with a variety of meanings. Regardless, Happy Valentine's Day!
Musing on Love

Creators on YouTube have been trying to find alternative sources of revenue for as long as the platform has allowed content to be monetised. This is partly to prevent YouTube from taking their cut of the ad revenue and to gain some sort of independence. However, this independence movement has accelerated in recent years following the 'adpocalypse', which lead to YouTube tightening up their rules on which content could and couldn't be monetised. Most major YouTubers have been trying to generate income from additional sources, usually from brand sponsorships, merchandise sales, or through crowdfunding sites like Patreon.
However, one of the Netherlands' most popular YouTube channels, 'De Bellinga's', has taken a different approach. De Bellinga's is a family-run channel run by the Bellinga family. The channel started with husband and wife Daniël and Fara Bellinga vlogging about their family's life largely for their own amusement, along with their children Luan (6), Lucilla (4) and Luxy (1).
But as the family sought to make a business out of their passion for video, they transitioned to posting healthy living content geared towards other young parents, giving their tips on cooking, grocery shopping, and how to live an active lifestyle.
From Family Videos to a Multichannel Video Offering, Including OTT
The Bellinga family are largely unknown outside of their native Netherlands, likely due in large part to the fact that all their videos are in Dutch, limiting their international appeal. But they pick up over ten million views each month, which TradeCast OTT TV and cloud video specialist Kenneth Stamp says makes them comparable in viewership to Dutch prime-time TV.
Whilst content on lifestyle and healthy living enjoyed considerable success, it was the videos which featured the parents spending time playing with their kids and enjoying life together proved most popular. The Bellingas were advised by a Dutch TV station that the wholesome nature of those sorts of videos would appeal to a wide audience, and that they should make this their core focus.
The couple agreed, switching back to vlogging about their daily lives, and putting out videos on a daily basis. This proved the right decision, their simple videos showing the two parents looking after and playing with their children appealed to young families and young children, and helped the Bellingas build their audience and grow their YouTube revenues.
As the family's channel grew though, they started to believe that relying solely on YouTube was like "building their house on quicksand" according to Stamp. "It pays the bills and then some, but it's still borrowed ground, it's still not your own platform."
After a chance meeting with Yillmaz Schoen (TradeCast's CEO) at a football match in Zwolle, the Bellinga's agreed to work with TradeCast to create their own video platform, with apps made for smartphones, smart TVs, Apple TV, and wherever else their audience was already active. The idea wasn't to move away from YouTube, which was still the family's primary source of income, but to reduce their absolute reliance on YouTube, and to give the family more ownership of their audience and their data.
The app they built, Bellinga TV, is completely ad supported, with the Bellingas selling ads themselves to brands which see their content as a good fit.
Despite making the content free to access, the Bellingas recognised there would still need to be unique content on their own platform to give audiences a reason to sign up. "The big selling point for the platform was that there would be unique content on there, not the same content that people see every day on YouTube, because we already know where to find that content," said Stamp. "And if you remove that content from YouTube you'd immediately disable one of their biggest revenue streams, so that wouldn't be a good idea!"
They also focused on interactivity, launching a "fan app", where their subscribers could upload their own content, with encouragement from the Bellignas. The couple would put out videos setting a certain theme, for example asking their audience to submit clips where they talk about their favourite food, and then the Bellingas would create a compilation video out of their favourite uploads.
These two things proved successful in pulling a large portion of their audience onto Bellinga TV. "We didn't really have high expectations of how many people would download the app and also register, because registering for a platform you don't know might not be something you'd want to immediately do if you're not sure what the content will be," said Stamp. But two days after the app was launched, 25 percent of their YouTube subscriber base had registered for Bellinga TV, and their iOS app was the number one free app on the App Store in the Netherlands.
Reaping the Benefits of Independence
Stamp says this move onto their own platform has had a number of benefits for the Bellingas. Firstly, it's helped them separate out at least some of their content from other, less brand safe content on YouTube. Advertisers have become particularly wary around kids content on YouTube after a number of issues with malicious actors pushing disturbing content out to children on YouTube, and a recent scandal around videos featuring children being abused by paedophiles. With their own platform, the Bellingas can sell ads directly to brands without the risk of it being associated with other, less safe content.
"In the case of this family, most of the companies just come to them," said Stamp. "Big supermarket chains, retail chains and toy chains are all interested in working with them."
The Bellingas have also benefited from taking control of their audience data. The couple decided to put on two live shows in a 700 seat theatre in which they'd talk about their life stories and give children in the audience a chance to see them in person and interact with them. They promoted the shows through a push-notification delivered to those who had downloaded the Bellinga TV app, and managed to sell out the show in a few hours, solely to those who had received the notification.
A Model for Others to Follow?
Persuading your audience to follow you off YouTube and onto your own platform isn't easy – and Stamp says TradeCast is looking to work with YouTubers who want a platform that can co-exist alongside YouTube, rather than as an alternative to it. Even when the platform is complementary, it can be difficult to make it successful – perhaps best demonstrated by Vevo phasing out its owned and operated platform last year to focus solely on YouTube.
But the Bellingas' example shows it can be done, providing an extra stream of ad revenue and more direct access to audience data.

Pakatan Harapan (PH) Sarawak was unable to make much of an inroad in rural seats as it failed to swing voters from former Barisan Nasional (BN) – now Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) – component parties in the 14th general election (GE14).
Batu Lintang assemblyman and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Sarawak vice-chairman See Chee How said even though the coalition was able to secure a higher number of voters this time around compared to 2013, most of the additional 96,000 voters who chose PH were from urban areas.
He acknowledged that unless there was to be an increase in the number of urban seats, PH might not be able to secure any new seat unless they are able to win the hearts of rural voters in the next Sarawak election.
According to See, Malays in Sarawak look upon Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) similar to how the Malays in the peninsula looked to Umno before GE14.
"Malays in Sarawak look at PBB as the umbrella looking after them. They have not been able to see other options, but people must take the initiatives to change," he told a political forum here yesterday.
He said Sarawak had 25 per cent Malay population while Peninsular Malaysia registered about 60 per cent Malays.
Because of this, he felt that the community should not feel uneasy about Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) wanting to spread its wings to Sarawak.
Furthermore, he said people these days are well informed and they look forward to multi-racial political parties rather than single-race ones.
He added that Sarawakians and Malaysians at large should work closely to promote multi-racial parties in order to bring about real change in the nation.
"A new Malaysia is not going to be an overnight thing, but it is progressing given what the PH federal government has done so far. I believe we can achieve a new Malaysia very soon," he said.
The forum, themed 'Malaysia Baru: Adakah Rakyat Boss?' (New Malaysia: Are People The Bosses?) was organised by civil society organisation Rise of Sarawak Efforts (ROSE).
Other speakers yesterday were Bandar Kuching MP Dr Kelvin Yii and Faisal S Hazis, a scholar from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The forum was moderated by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak scholar Mohd Shazani Masri.

Hi guys!
Today, partypoker announced details of its exciting new .eu "Diamond Club Elite" program, designed to reward the site's most loyal players from France and Spain.
Here's how it works:
All players that sign up to the program will get 25% fixed weekly Cashback, which is topped up to 35% and 42%, once respective targets are met.
In addition, all Diamond Club Elite members that achieve €200,000 in rake over a set twelve-month period will earn a free package to the recently renamed "Millions World" in The Bahamas, where I will be representing Team partypoker! The country holds many fond memories for me, so I hope many of you can make it from 15-24 November.
Diamond Club Elite VIPs can also enjoy access to dedicated 24/7 support lines as well as exclusive VIP service at our flagship partypoker LIVE MILLIONS events.
What's more, to celebrate the launch of Diamond Club Elite, partypoker will be offering an 80% Cashback top-up plus 80% fixed Cashback up until 31 January 2020 to the first two players who achieve the €200,000 rake target via SIT & GO JACKPOTS and SPINS – incredible value!
Since I joined Team partypoker, the company has always looked to recognise its most loyal players, and Diamond Club Elite is further proof of their commitment to rewarding their valued VIPs.
With the introduction of the new VIP program, partypoker has raised the bar even further and in my opinion represents the number 1 destination for all serious online poker players from France and Spain.
I hope my French counterparts and our Spanish friends get to enjoy the many benefits of Diamond Club Elite, and I look forward to meeting and playing against many of the site's VIP grinders soon at the .eu tables or at a partypoker LIVE event!
– ElkY

Whether you're road tripping to Sin City for the long weekend or looking to entertain your kids this Easter Weekend in your hometown of Las Vegas, these Easter Egg Hunts are sure to bring smiles to the whole family.
The best part? You just have to show up.
Opt for a stress-free holiday weekend by skipping the messy egg dying and all-too-early egg hiding. Instead, let someone else be this year's Easter Bunny.
1. The Christian Hope Project
The annual Easter Festival hosted by the Christian Hope Project is completely free and packed with activities the kids will love. Five hours of non-stop festivities will not only insure your little ones have a good time, but should also score you some quiet time when they nap off all the excitement.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., kids will enjoy free bounce houses, carnival games, raffles, pictures with the Easter Bunny, and face painting. Live music and food-for-purchase will entertain the adults while children participate in three different egg hunts with over 50,000 eggs. There are also tons of community vendors at the largest Easter Egg Hunt in Las Vegas.
Location: Craig Ranch Park, 628 W. Craig Road.
2. Town Square Park Hop & Shop Easter Egg Hunt and Family Festival
From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., families can visit Town Square for a free Easter egg hunt and family festival featuring activities for children ages one to nine. Hunts start every half hour and each egg found is redeemable for special prizes, including GameWorks game cards, shoes from Pediped, and more. Hunts are divided into age groups and, while free, children must register to participate. Registration is from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., and from noon until slots are filled up.
Egg hunting isn't the only activity on the docket. The festival also features bounce houses, a rock climbing wall, a "Zippy Pals" ride, a craft area, and "Cactus Coaster" train rides.
Free activities include: balloon artist, face painting, photos with the Easter Bunny, and the aforementioned egg hunts.
Registration is located next to Yard House and I ♥ Burgers, both prime locations for the grownups to grab a giant adult beverage.
Location: Town Square Park, 6605 Las Vegas Blvd South.
3. Mormon Station Cotton Tails Easter Egg Hunt & Pancake Brunch
Leave the Easter meal to someone else this year and make the trek to Mormon Station State Historic Park in Genoa for an event hosted by Jalie Premier Event Planning. Unlike in Town Square Park, parents won't even have to leave the festivities to add a punch to their Easter brunch: mimosas and Bloody Marys accompany chef April Woodward's pancake brunch in the stockade starting at 10 a.m.
Two Easter Egg Hunts will kick off at noon, dividing kids into two age groups. Farm-fresh eggs will be for sale at this environment-friendly event, alongside the Easter bunny, a photo booth, and face painter. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children for the pancake brunch. The Easter Egg Hunt is $6 per participant.
Location: 2295 Main St., Genoa.

We are pleased to announce that we have signed a global distribution agreement with Entrust Datacard, a leading provider of trusted identity and secure issuance technology solutions. The agreement cements a long-standing relationship between us and Entrust Datacard after winning numerous business deals together worldwide. The global agreement covers Ascertia's ADSS Server and includes the server modules for digital signing, OCSP validation, SCVP validation and timestamping.
Ascertia Expands Relationship with Entrust Datacard for Digital Signature, OCSP, SCVP and TSA Servers
A recent Forrester report outlined several interesting trends – firstly, the adoption of e-signatures within businesses continues to grow steadily throughout the world and in Europe enterprises are engaging with e-signature providers for a broader set of digital services than their US counterparts.
Launched in 2012, the G-Cloud framework has revolutionised how public sector departments access innovative IT solutions. By providing the UK Government the ability to procure services from approved cloud-based suppliers, IT costs have been driven down and efficiency increased.
Ascertia ADSS Connector for SharePoint now supports Active Directory authentication for digital signatures
The ADSS Connector for SharePoint has always provided tight integration with the Microsoft SharePoint portal and ADSS Server Go>Sign Service. This allows enterprise users to "click and sign" on a document in SharePoint. The internal process first uploads the target document to ADSS Server, (converting the document to PDF/A if required) and then shows it to the user using the ADSS Go>Sign Viewer.

Flax used to be one of the most important textile fibres in the Netherlands. From the seed to the end product, the flax in this lamp comes from the Netherlands. It is made in collaboration with traditional rope maker Touwslagerij Steenbergen. Flax is a very durable fibre since it doesn't need a lot of water, no pesticides and herbicides and everything of the flax is used for something. So no waste.

Futuropoly is also not the first board game I have made with Monopoly as the basis. I once did Footballopoly back when our oldest boys were wee little babes. That of course, was for my husband, and used pro football teams as property.
Whatever Opoly you choose to go with, you can have a lot of fun adapting the theme to fit the game. Most of this can also be created with items around your house, making it thrifty and eco-friendly.
To make a game, you need to put together the following components:
- The board - I used a half inch square piece of nice plywood. You want it to be furniture grade wood because it's going to last for years. This board is 2' x 2'.
Use a straight edge and ruler to partition off the property slots. You'll have a large square in each corner, and nine slots in between each one. I painted mine with inexpensive watercolor paints, acting as stain. I used a sharpie marker to draw the straight lines, and then I applied polyurethane over the top to seal it all in. The gold paint went on last, because polyurethane causes the gold to smear.
Create the property names with the theme of your game. Some of ours are "Omega 1 System" and "Alpha Center." Regions of outer space, in other words. I looked up names of star systems and galaxies. Where the colors coordinate, the names also coordinate. For instance, the red properties are "Delphius Scape," "Dorado Lat," and "Draco Region."
Instead of railroads, we have teleports, and Jail is "Suspension Chamber." Utilities are "Fusion Company," and "Fission Company," and instead of Income Tax, we have "Robot Maintenance" and "Alien Housing Tax."
You get the gist!
- Cards - There are two sets of cards in any Opoly game. Ours are Question Mark and Time Capsule. The Time Capsule cards refer to things in todays era. I had a ton of fun making up crazy things that could happen to either fine players or reward them. "The shifty Robot you purchased at the Hydrus Sector Swap Meet stole your space pup and fled the galaxy. Pay 700k's for Unrestrained Droid Violation."
There are 30 cards for each stack, and were made out of poster board. I also made property cards out of poster board. Because it's Futuropoly, I accounted for massive inflation and everything costs a ridiculous amount of money.
- Money! - This unfortunately isn't easily customizable. You can buy Monopoly Money from online sources like Ebay and Amazon. We used Play Money that we bought from the Dollar Store, but it too can be purchased from Amazon. The play money comes in higher bills than Monopoly does (usually) and this jived well with our ridiculous inflation.
- Houses and Hotels - When I first made the game, I used Polymer Clay
from the craft store and shaped little futuristic buildings with it. In the image of my board game above, you can see the way these looked, painted with purple and gold enamel.
But that was years ago and they have been lost. Lego's work well though!
- Characters and Dice - Dice can be bought at the store, usually with a pack of cards. Not expensive at all! And characters should not be purchased, but each person playing the game should search for their own piece, which makes it more personal and fun.
- Box - I just chuck all of my pieces in a little non-descript box to be kept beside the game board. Except when I had Footballopoly, it was all a part of a large game set built out of MDF. I hope to make one of those again soon!

British Enfield P-1907 Hook Quillon Bayonet With Scabbard
Item Description
New Made Item: This will fill the space in so many British WWI collections. Early in WWI all quillions were officially removed from the long issue SMLE bayonets, so this variant is extremely rare today. This reproduction has a black metal finish and simulated WWI markings. Each comes in a new steel mounted leather scabbard. An excellent reproduction!
