Tokyo is such a crowded place that even finding a place to park your bicycle can be a daunting task. But leave it to the Japanese to find a very clever solution to this growing space problem.
It looks more like a scene from a sci-fi movie than a parking storage!
The ECO-Cycle Park is an automated bicycle storage system buried 11 meters under the city streets that can hold up to over 200 bikes. Japan's Bicycle Parking Technology Is PURE GENIUS!
You don't have to be afraid that your bicycle is missing a wheel, that someone stole it or that it's damaged because of bad weather conditions because this underground parking lot does not allow any humans to enter. You simply place your bike in an elevator-like contraption and VOILA! Technology does the rest!
This INSANE bicycle parking technology is buried under the streets of Tokyo, developed by construction solutions company GIKENT! This is a place where bicycle chains are of no use. You can park your bikes safely in just a matter of 8 seconds.
Bicycle riders have to pay a monthly subscription to gain access to ECO-Cycle, and they are issued a personal card. Whenever they want to park their bikes, all they have to do is position them in front of one of the above-ground booths and swipe their card through a reader. A mechanical arm clamps it in place, the booth door opens and the bike disappears underground. The whole process takes just 8 seconds, and retrieving the vehicle is just as fast. Ever since the solution was implemented in Konan Hoshi No Koen Park, in 2010, illegally parked bicycles have mostly disappeared from the area.
Steel boards are inserted into the ground to create a cylindrical shape, and the soil inside is then removed. We can do this in only two months. As soil pressure is evenly distributed (thanks to the cylindrical shape), the parking facility is reasonably earthquake resistant. As a carrier device is placed in the center, the distance the bikes have to be moved is minimized. The construction of an underground bicycle storage unit costs 150 million yen ($1,5 million). Including those under construction, there are currently 43 ECO-Cycle facilities at 16 locations across Japan," says Shotaro Yano, head of the Giken's underground development division, says about the advantages of ECO-Cycle.
Watch the video below and see for yourself what it's like to park your bicycle in Japan.

Getting a home mortgage is not as easy as it once was. There are a lot more challenging situations and lenders are becoming very selective about how they loan money to the especially large amount that is needed to purchase a home. If you have been declined for a mortgage you are not alone. These are some reasons why you may have been denied for a mortgaged.
Late Payments
If you paid your bills late it can affect your acceptance rate for mortgages and other loans. The lender needs to know you will repay your loan and keep up with your monthly payments. If you pay your bills late this can hurt your credit score and your acceptance rate. Your payment history makes up 35 percent of your credit score. Late payments will be held against you.
Accounts in Collection
If you are not able to repay the loans and bills you already have a lender is not going to give you more money especially a large sum for a home. You need to keep the accounts you have current and in good standing to get approved for additional loans.
You Change Jobs Often
If you leave your current job for a better opportunity that is one thing. If you are changing jobs every couple of months this can be a warning sign to the lender. They may think you are unstable and not responsible enough to keep a job. Lenders want to see a strong employment history so they know you have an income to pay your bill. If you change jobs often you are considered to be high risk. They will look back as far as two years and see the different jobs that you have worked. You should not have more than three employers in the past three years and should have no gaps between jobs. Do not change your job after you have applied for the mortgage as this can lead to delays.
Trouble With Your Bank Account
Lenders will want to see your bank statements to check your finances and look for any inconsistencies in the information that you reported to them. They will check the statements for some things they consider to be suspicious. This includes changing addresses frequently or using PO boxes. Wire transfers to other countries are something of concern. They look like there may have been possible activities related to terrorism. If you deposited large amounts of cash this can also look suspicious. If you use several money orders in a row this can be a cause for concern to your lender. The lender will also look for overdrafts on your account and the frequency at which they occurred. This can show that you do not have a good handle on your finances. Your bank account will further verify your income.
You Got a New Credit Card
You may not realize that opening a new credit card or getting a new card can hurt your chances of getting a mortgage. To get a mortgage your debt to income ratio needs to be less than 43 percent. If you get new credit you may increase your debt and will not get approved for the mortgage.
You do Not Have Cash for Closing
The clothing costs can be steep. In addition to the down payment, there are several fees you are going to need to pay. You may have to borrow money to help with the closing costs. If you do not have solid proof to show that you have the money ready for closing you may not get approved for the mortgage. You will need to show that you have this money available. If a loved one is helping you with these costs they will need to provide proof that they have the money and are willing to help. If you apply for a loan for the closing costs this will hurt your chances of being approved for the mortgage. The closing costs are different from the down payment. You will also need to prove where you are getting the funds for the down payment. You may need to show bank statements and other financial documents to show you have access to this money and it is available for use.
These are some of the possible reasons you have been declined for a mortgage. Lenders are very selective about how they are willing to give a loan to so you have to show them that you are stable and responsible to get approved for a mortgage.

Background: Randomized controlled trials indicate that addition of a long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) such as tiotropium may improve asthma control and reduce exacerbation risk in patients with poorly controlled asthma, but broader clinical studies are needed to investigate the effectiveness of LAMA in real-life asthma care.
Methods: Medical records of adults with asthma (aged ≥18 years) prescribed tiotropium were obtained from the UK Optimum Patient Care Research Database for the period 2001–2013. Patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were excluded, but no other clinical exclusions were applied. Two primary outcomes were compared in the year before (baseline) and the year after (outcome) addition of tiotropium: exacerbations (asthma-related hospital emergency department attendance or inpatient admission, or acute oral corticosteroid course) and acute respiratory events (exacerbation or antibiotic prescription with lower respiratory consultation). Secondary outcomes included lung function test results and short-acting β2 agonist usage. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for variables measured on the interval scale, the marginal homogeneity test for categorized variables, and the paired t-test for lung function indices.
Results: Of the 2,042 study patients, 83% were prescribed an inhaled corticosteroid and 68% a long-acting ß2 agonist during the baseline year; 67% were prescribed both. Comparing baseline and outcome years, the percentage of patients having at least one exacerbation decreased from 37% to 27% (P<0.001) and the percentage having at least one acute respiratory event decreased from 58% to 47% (P<0.001). There were no significant changes in lung function, and usage of short-acting β2 agonists (in salbutamol/albuterol equivalents) increased from a median (interquartile range) of 274 (110, 548) to 329 (110, 603) µg/day (P=0.01).
Conclusion: In this real-life asthma population, addition of LAMA therapy was associated with significant decreases in the incidence of exacerbations and antibiotic prescriptions for lower respiratory tract infections in the following year.

TWINPLAST screws are recommended for the assembly on very thin plastic elements, especially blown plastic parts.
The thread design and the sharp point allow the screw to be inserted without pilot holes or boss. It can be used when plastic thickness is between 1/3 and 2/3 of the screw diameter.
For thicker plastic elements or when the plastic cannot be drilled, a self-drilling point may be added.
• It makes boss design unnecessary, which improves plastic distribution during the blowing process.
• It reduces thread forming torque, which provides a more ergonomic assembly.
• It provides improved pull-out and stripping resistance assemblies.
• The larger contact surface of the head allows for a better stress distribution on the plastic.
Apart from the references available in stock, we produce customized screws to fit your exact requirements.
To improve their functionality, TWINPLAST screws can be produced under different head types, recess, dimensions and coating configuration.

Forbes Attacks Traditional Chinese Medicine
WHO Endorses TCM. Expect Deaths To Rise. A few days ago, a news story in the journal Nature reported that the World Health Organization, which is supposed to be devoted to improving the health and medical care of people around the globe, will for the first time endorse a belief system called "traditional Chinese medicine." I'm labeling TCM a belief system because that's what it is–but the WHO will be endorsing it as a set of medical practices. The Nature writer, David Cyranoski, presents this news in a classic two-sides-of-the-story format, describing the "endless hours" that TCM proponents spent on such important topics as the "correct location of acupuncture points and less commonly known concepts such as 'triple energizer meridian' syndrome." Later in the article (but much later), he points out that scientists have argued that qi and meridians simply don't exist. Cyranoski also falls into the trap of using the phrase "Western medicine" as if it were just an alternative point of view. An apt response is this comment from a biology Ph.D. student, who goes by @astrelaps on Twitter: "What a weak, equivocal article from the world's preeminent scientific journal. "For those steeped in Western medicine…" is like writing "For those steeped in climate science" or "For those steeped in evolutionary biology" when reporting on climate change denial or creationism."
Questions of The Day!
Hi Robert,
My 13 year old daughter is noticing her hair thinning. She has no medical conditions that we are aware of, and we do not have her on any medications. Are there any vitamins or minerals that you would recommend for hair growth?
Hi Robert,
I recently stumbled on your aloe silver protocol and would really love to try it. I've had rapidly increasing GI problems over the past 6 months that I'm trying to address as my husband and I would like to start trying to conceive next year. I eat very clean (grass fed meats, organic produce, properly prepared grains, etc) but I seem to be forming intolerances quickly. I react very poorly to probiotics currently. I've tried different versions, but they all cause either days of constipation or urgent diarrhea. I know the protocol recommends replacing good bacteria at night with probiotics. Should I push through the probiotic side effects or wait a week or so into the protocol before adding them? Also, how do you know when to stop the protocol?
Thank you for your time! – Katie
Hi Robert i am a big fan of yours and have been listening to some of your shows about HIV testing i have also started the Aloa and Colloidal Silver protocol and my acid reflux has decreased a lot. I am also convinced the HIV tests are a fraud however one issue still escapes me. How come a lot of gay people test positive (whatever that is) compared to none gay people. Thanks i appreciate your probably a busy guy but if you could help i would appreciate it. – Mike from Dubai
Overreaction Maybe?
Grandfather and Grandsons Detained by Officer, Kicked Out of Park for Drinking Kombucha Tea Sid Tatem was trying to enjoy a picnic at Chesapeake's Northwest River Park last week, but an overzealous park ranger quickly ruined the family outing. The ranger approached Tatem and sons inquiring about what they were drinking. Turns out the trio was enjoying some of grandpa's homemade Kombucha, a fermented tea that has been around for thousands of years. Ranger Michael Peters was informed by Tatem the mixture might have residual alcohol from its fermentation but it could hardly be considered an alcoholic beverage. Kombucha is the fermented tea that is sold in nearly every store across the country and which has an alcohol content so low that children can purchase it legally. Currently quite a health food rage, it's loaded with probiotics, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory substances. In other words, it's really good for you and your body. However, Peters detained the family, confiscated the Kombucha, forced them to pour it out and promptly kicked the innocent grandfather and his grandchildren out of the park. The three had made a day visiting Tatem's father's grave and decided to stop by the park and enjoy some food and family time.
Hour 2 – Advanced Medicine with Dr. Rashid Buttar!
Dr. Buttar is back to talk about what's happening in the world of health news. Here's what we have in store for you today:
Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to two researchers who discoveredhow to make the immune system fight cancer This morning, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine to two scientists who, separately, discovered proteins that "brake" the immune system — work that paved the way for what the committee calls "an entirely new principle for cancer therapy." The winners are James P. Allison of the United States and Tasuku Honjo of Japan. Working in the 1990s, both scientists studied proteins that regulate the immune system and keep it in check. For Allison, this protein was CTLA-4 protein, while Honjo studied a protein called PD-1. Both CTLA-4 and PD-1 regulate the immune system and keep it from being too aggressive. Therefore, it's possible to use an antibody to target these proteins and shut them down. When these proteins are shut down, and the brakes "released," our body's immune system can go on the attack against cancerous tumors, a form of treatment today called immunotherapy. (Both proteins brake the immune system, just in different ways.)
Health-related quality of life overlooked in cancer drug studies A McMaster University-led review and analysis of randomized clinical trials is questioning whether interventions which prolong progression-free survival in cancer patients, improve their health-related quality of life. The systematic review and quantitative analysis of 52 articles reporting on 38 randomized clinical trials involving 13,979 cancer patients across 12 cancer types revealed no significant association between survival when the disease is not getting worse, or "progression-free survival", and health-related quality of life. The results were published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine. "Given the increased use of progression-free survival as the primary outcome in new oncology drug trials, and uncertainty of overall survival, it remains possible that patients are receiving toxic and/or expensive treatments without experiencing important benefit," said Feng Xie, senior author of the study and a professor of the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact at McMaster.
Financial Incentives for Doctors to Vaccinate as Many Children as Possible – Keep Patients on Statins There are monetary awards for doctors and other mainstream medical practitioners who maintain high levels of compliance for prescription drugs (including vaccines), and doctors' visits. These incentives to get more patients into their offices and to receive as many vaccines and prescription drugs as possible come from the insurance industry. In 2016, the evidence for these medical financial kickbacks was displayed online with a pamphlet from Blue Cross (BC), Blue Shield (BS), and Blue Cross Network (BCN). Here's a screenshot of page 15 from their 2016 Provider Incentive Program pamphlet that offers financial awards for maintaining CDC vaccination schedules.
New Zealand Parents Say Rotavirus Vaccine Nearly Killed Their Baby The rotavirus vaccine is one of the most popular immunizations on the schedule. While it is mostly an understated part of the vaccine process, some parents in New Zealand are raising awareness for the vaccine's potential deadly side. David and Sonya Cooper were interviewed in the New Zealand Herald following their infant's battle with the rotavirus vaccine side effects. "Ripped to shreds with stress," they said as their baby was wisked away by surgeons at Auckland's Starship children's hospital. While their baby Jude made it through surgery, he remains under close watch by hospital staff. Sonya says that following the rotavirus vaccine, Jude changed. "He started refusing feeds, his nappies dried up and he was constantly grizzly, lethargic and spent his day flopped in pain in my arms." He was vomitting and his conditioned worsed, symptoms which were seemingly derived from the rotavirus vaccine.
The gut bacteria and genetics research trying to unlock the secrets of autism In Northland in mid-winter, 10-year-old Amy was worried the unwell and unwanted animals at the local SPCA branch must be getting cold. She drew an abstract artwork, had it photocopied and sold the copies across the neighbourhood. "We went to the SPCA and gave it the money," says her mother, Lynne Hansen. "It was all her idea. She has an amazing little mind, and so much empathy." Even as a preschooler, however, there were signs something "wasn't quite right". Amy was emotive, reactive and easily frustrated when she could not convey her feelings. "She was a very independent little girl, not very huggy, very inflexible in her thinking. You felt at a loss because you didn't know how to help this lovely, curly-haired little girl – it was an awful time." Amy was seven when she was diagnosed with autism but Hansen recognised the signs long before then. "She is intelligent, animated, but she struggles to manage herself. She is a perfectionist – if she hasn't got a clear pathway from start to finish where she can succeed, she will have a meltdown. So I knew Amy was on the spectrum – I just did not have the diagnostic piece of paper."

"I liked this a ton. Great flavors in one of my favorite vitolas. Pretty powerful cigar, but there was still a nice range of flavors, and pretty dramatic transitions from yeasty sweetness to dark rich coffee. Only drawback was the rapid burn which seemed to be due to being rather under-filled, at least in the early stages of this smoke. I'd still buy a whole bunch more. " -John I. (John I.)Read More

"I really enjoyed this cigar. There was quite a bit of flavors going on with milk chocolate, wood, coffee, cream, spice and some marshmallow at the very end. The cigar stayed medium until the very final third where the spice kicked it up a notch. " -Mickey T. (irratebass)Read More
Quick Cigar Review: Atabey | Spiritus
by Emmett | Nov 12, 2018 | All, Atabey, Featured, IPCPR, Lancero, Mickey T., Natural, Nelson Alfonso, Quick Cigar Reviews | 0 |
This was a great cigar! I don't get into the hype of $30, $50 or even $100 cigars, but this Atabey Spiritus was amazing! The draw was a bit snug, but I can't blame that on the the cigar I don't think. This was given to my by the BMP's staff to review. The construction was spot on, but by the end of the second half the head started to come off a bit, again that might have been my user and I just got it too wet. Overall this cigar greeted me with lots and lots of sweetness with hay, and honey. It tipped the scales of medium, but just barely and only briefly. This was an elegant cigar that could be enjoyed at any time of the day, but I think in the morning would be the best or late at night as your last cigar of the day. They are not inexpensive, but if you get the chance I cannot recommend Atabey enough.Read More

I really enjoyed this cigar from start to finish. It's hard to describe just how well all of the elements of this cigar worked together to provide such an enjoyable experience but every bit of this cigar just worked for me. I am normally not a fan of really strong cigars but this one just did it for me. I picked up a five pack of these just based on the Warped name alone and really wish I had bought the whole box. If you can get your hands on one I would say go for it.Read More

"If I were to make my own cigar, it would look much like this. It was almost painful to put this cigar down. The savory qualities kept me coming back to it, distracting me from other things (like the kiddo crying about her ball rolling into the street.) It wouldn't be hard to put this cigar into regular rotation, and when this is posted, I'll probably find a box. While there wasn't a whole lot of transition in flavors, what flavors it has keeps you coming back for more." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)Read More

text: Critically acclaimed Filipino film "Quezon's Game" screening in EU, to premiere via 'film in concert' event January 14, 2020 AT 12:46 PM SHARE TWEET More than eight decades ago, the then President Manuel L. Quezon opened the Philippine shores to about 1,200 Jewish refugees who are escaping from the wrath of the Nazis—a part of the Philippine history that is unknown to many but is made realized by the film "Quezon's Game". "Quezon's Game", which was produced by ABS-CBN Films Star Cinema in association with iWant and Kinetek, is a film that tells the story of how Philippine President Manuel Quezon, future U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower, and several other notable figures set out to rescue Jewish refugees from the ghettos of Germany and Austria. What seems within their power at first, turns out to be fraught with astronomical obstacles. On top of this, Quezon must battle a relapse of tuberculosis. In his final days, Quezon asks the question "Could I have done more?" before recollecting one of the least known, but most uplifting stories in Philippine history. The storyline of the film has won the nod of the critics, which is not often the case with historic films. For one, Esquire Philippines described the film as "very compelling and deeply moving film largely because of the genius of its storytelling." While The Philippine Tatler observed that "the storytelling of the film was an incredible merging of historical facts and creative interpretation for dramatic purposes yet it didn't appear inaccurate or merely a hodgepodge of various elements of the certain period in history." In addition to the positive reviews, "Quezon's Game" also boasts the different recognitions it garnered from various international award-giving bodies: 2019 IndieFEST Film Awards: "Awards of Excellence" for Lead Actor, Direction, Asian Film, Cinematography, and Original Score 2019 WorldFest-Houston International Film + Video Festival: "Gold Remi Awards" for Best Foreign Feature, Best Director, Best Producer, and Best Art Direction 2019 Cinema World Fest Annual Gala: "Best in Show Grand Champion" The film also received an "Excellence Special Mention" at the 2019 Accolade Global Film Competition; was a finalist at Israel's 2019 Near Nazareth Festival; and an official selection at the 2019 Maryland International Film Festival and 2019 Ramsgate International Film + TV Festival. "Quezon's Game" is directed by Matthew Rosen, written by Janice Y. Perez and Dean Rosen which was based on the original story of Matthew Rosen and Lorena H. Rosen, under the Supervising Producer Marizel S. Martinez and Creative Producers Enrico C. Santos and John Paul E. Abellera. The film's Executive Producers were Carlo L. Katigbak, Olivia M. Lamasan, Linggit Tan-Marasigan and Lorena H. Rosen. Catch "Quezon's Game" starting January 31 in the United Kingdom and Oslo, Norway. For the cinema list, visit emea.kapamilya.com. Meantime, added emotion in the storytelling of this untold story is its theme song "Quezon's Theme" with words and music by James George Hargreaves and orchestration by Chris Cameron. In the film, two versions of the song will be heard: one is performed by Shulem Lemmer who is the first Hasidic singer signed under a major label which is Universal Music, while the other is by the iconic Filipina singer-actress Rachel Alejandro who is also part of the film as Aurora Quezon. Both renditions were backed by the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra. Indulge and get goosebumps from the LIVE orchestra performance of Shulem Lemmer and Rachel Alejandro at the "Quezon's Game Film in Concert & Premiere" happening on January 28, 2020, 7:00 p.m. at the Troxy, London. The film's director Matthew Rosen and lead star Raymond Bagatsing will also be there. Tickets are sold at the following prices including the handling fee: £88 for VIP with meet and greet; £55 for Silver; and £33 for Bronze. Purchase tickets online via www.troxy.co.uk, or contact Hanna Jatulan at [email protected]. ### Media Contact: Strike Media [email protected] Joyce Jimenez ABS-CBN Global Corporate Affairs and PR [email protected] (EMAIL)

Will the road team get a fifth consecutive win to start the season or can Brisbane get this one?
I think Cairns will get up. Nice to see the game selling out too.
How's everybody's fantasy team going?
Brisbane easily, not enough defenders on the cairns line up. Not convinced on there imports except for Newbill. Walker out I believe as well.
With how some of these 1st round games have gone I'm going to give up on guessing. Just hoping it's a close one.

I know Bairstow hasn't played a lot the last 2 years.
But for a former NBA player, he throws up some really ordinary shots and makes some dumb plays sometimes.
I wonder whether he thinks he is a better perimeter player than what he thinks. IMO I really dont think he has the skillset to operate too far from deep post.
Two years ago
Either the Cairns offense looking very ordinary, or Brisbane playing good defense. Seem to be taking shots coming toward the end of the shot clock. Gliddon has been cold so far this game too
Bairstow looking quite average
Ugly game to watch so far.
The "hungry jacks" chant is the cringiest thing ever

"How's everybody's fantasy team going?"
I am 40ish clear at the top of the NBL comp. Probably won't last so I'm gloating now!
Gee whiz, Trimble is impressive. If Cairns had a strong rebounder they would be winning this comfortably and also be very dangerous this season. I'm not sure about their front court rotation though. Obviously Jawai is a threat, but only plays limited minutes.
Kerle is woeful in the commentary.
I thought egwu was hodgson injury replacement, but hodgson is back, did brisbane have a spot avaliable?
I thought egwu was hodgson injury replacement, but hodgson is back, did brisbane have a spot avaliable?
I was just about to post how good Hodgson looks, before he throws the ball away and fousl a guy 90 feet from the basket for 2 shots...
"I thought egwu was hodgson injury replacement, but hodgson is back, did brisbane have a spot avaliable?"
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Pretty sure they only went with 2 imports originally though because of Bairstow

Ugly basketball... think we're looking at the bottom two teams for 18/19...
How good is Melo Trimble, could make Cairns a contender this year ala Scottie Wilbekin a couple years back
Trimble is a star!
He's got next level burst

He was a replacement for both Hodgson and Magnay.Although Magnay just hit the floor as well. So who's missing?

Where was Lucas Walker for Cairns?
Two years ago
Lucas Walker is still recovering from ankle surgery, but is just about ready to go.
Typical bullets. Win the tough one and lose once there is some expectations
Melo Trimble was huge, took the game by storm and took over, Bullets couldn't contain. Kid is gonna be big this year. So much energy.
Bullets look uninspiring... again. Talent is there, Bairstow looks cooked though.
He's not gonna make them a contender - abit big of a call. We've seen in this league, you can have one superstar dominate each game but in this league, your teammates have to support you. Cairns will have some shocker games where their imports go cold and they can't put points up, they'll also have some amazing games like this too. Just can't see them getting over the line against structured and well coached teams like Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Two years ago
Trimble was great barely looked like he raised a sweat, just so quick and composed.
As for fantasy Deleon out, Trimble in first thing Monday
What a spud of a performance by Brisbane. How did they beat NZ? Last season of Lemanis before they can get a coach who can actually recruit a team.
Liked listening to Kerle, he warmed into his role as he game progressed. Trigger is intelligent but his drawl is difficult to stomach.
Who started deleon in fantasy???? Why!!!!

Think about Creek in for Brisbane and cutting Egwu for a US point guard... Jesus, that's a squad:
Import PG
Te Rangi
I'd play Hodgson ahead of Bairstow.
Good to see a smart coach in kelly telling his players to try and score in the last possession of the game rather than run the clock out when head to head plays a huge part in deciding ladder positions. I doubt gaze would have the brains to think about something like that.
Cadee is a disaster as a starting point guard. But he's Lemanis' love child so it will be interesting to see how long Andrej persists with him. This team needs a new US PG, then cut Holt and replace him with an import 4-5.

Bullets trifecta of spoons coming along nicely.
Two years ago
REALLY want Brisbane to come good and succeed, and had reasonable expectations last night after they stole a win in NZ. But boy they were bad last night.
Performance summed up in the 2nd half by Vukona, who held the ball and took it up court instead of handing off. Inexplicably tried to pull off a dribble move crossing the ball between his legs, but gave the rock up cold leading to an easy Cairns two. Ugh.
Much is needed from the point. Cadee is a good bench option but as a starter he's not getting the team to the playoffs. 4/18 shooting in two games btw.
Egwu is plain bad and needs to be jettisoned asap for someone more productive.
Gee's early form is concerning.
With the team on the market I have a feeling they can't spend freely on players. Either way if their prospects don't improve in the next 2-3 weeks I hope some smart personnel moves are made to make the group more competitive.
Why bring in holt if you're going to play him 15 min?
Lemanis and Cadee and Brisbane are a match made in heaven. It's as if LK is quarantining anyone who can't get a job to the Bullets. Also apart from the player composition the coaching staff is even worse - CJ Bruton, Sam Mackinnon, Brad Hill. Just throwing a bone out there to ex players who are unemployed with no coaching experience. What a joke franchise.
Two years ago
Brad Hill is actually with the Taipans.
My bad.
From his demeanor you wouldn't think he was part of the winning team.
Isn't Brads dad the coach of Pioneers and Brad a part of this successful seabl team ? He has been around a coChing family his entire life so surely he has experience.
Okay scrap the Hill comment. CJ and Sam Mac however...

Imogen started off her career in the modelling industry, but always had a love for fashion design growing up. Imogen came from a rockabilly style background. Music being a massive influence on her life & fashion, she grew up listening to the likes AC/DC, The Doors, Motley Crue & Guns 'n' Roses . Her father was a classic car restorer & spray painter. In that sense she grew up as a bit of a tomboy, helping her father out in his shop but never losing her intense love for fashion. Imogen pursued her modelling, later getting into the more fashion & commercial side of things. She ended up taking control of the shoots she was involved in due to her eccentric creative direction. Working with some of biggest people in the industry, Imogen is renown for her eccentric, sexy look, but also for her extremely down to earth personality & wicked sense of humour. Imogen closed the 2014 Bondi Bather show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, walking the runway wearing nothing but sand infamously known as the "Sandkini". Bondi Bather then brought Imogen on board the following year at Fashion Week to come on as creative director for their 'Bondi Bather X Hello Kitty' 2015 swimsuit collaboration, where she closed the show again in a high cut Swarovski embellished swimsuit and thigh high boots.
Imogen is known well on social media for her intellectually strong and honest "i don't give a f***" attitude. She has 'followers' from all over the world admiring her for her daring & crazy fashion choices on the red carpet, whilst remaining polished at the same time. Imogen is now a well known Australian Style Icon, red carpet regular and was recently pulled up by the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier at the 2014 Elle Style Awards on what she was wearing. It had just happened to be one of her own unreleased pieces from her WTR by ImogenAnthony line. Jean took her hand and proceeded to lead her to the media wall, where he insisted they were photographed together.

An increasing number of appointments per month are 'Did Not Attend' (DNA), ie the patient does not turn up for the appointment AND does not contact the surgery in advance to cancel/change appointment.
The effect of these are:
If a patient DNA's an appointment twice then they will be sent a letter and a copy of the notice explaining the policy.
If they DNA a further appointment than a review of the case will be done by the practice manager and one of the Partners to establish whether there are any specific reasons (social or clinical) why the patient should not be removed, with an outcome of either:

Keeping your Windows PC patched and updated is the best way to make it secure and Automatic Updates the best way to go! Windows Hotfix Downloader from the MDL forums, is a relatively new free tool that can download hotfixes for you and simplify your job with just few mouse clicks.
While you can manually download Windows Updates in Windows 8, but using a third-party application may appeal to some. serves better as it allows you to select the updates manually and also to burn them to DVD and install on a system without permanent Internet connection and you can update Windows & Office without Internet connection.
Windows Hotfix Downloader
Windows Hotfix Downloader is a reliable application that helps you keeping your Windows computer system up-to-date. It enables you to download and apply the latest updates for your Windows and MS Office files. This is a small portable utility which downloads the updates of Windows 7/8/8.1 as well as Microsoft Office 2010/2013.
Windows Hotfix Downloader lets you select and download the General Updates, Hotfixes, Security Updates, Additional Updates and Extra Updates for your operating system.
The main UI of the program tells all. It has a very simple interface and you don't need any particular instructions to use the program. All you have to do is to select the version of your Windows operating system and wait for some time. The program automatically displays the update name, release date along with its size/type.
The programs lists all the updates available but that doesn't mean that you have to install all of them. You can always select the ones you want to install on your system. The program can also check and list the installed updates in your PC. It downloads the hotfixes and integrates them for both Windows and Office.
The good thing about the program is that updates are not selected by default. You can select then manually through check boxes. Just hover your mouse over any update and the program describes it. While the download speed depends on the speed of your internet connection, you can check the download progress in the main interface of the program.
The Windows Hotfix Downloader seems to be a helpful application to keep your system updated and you can get it here. It does it safely in just a few mouse clicks, but I have a doubt over here and I will be happy if anyone can solve my query. When I was reading about the program I read that there are Pause and Resume buttons. I wonder why I can't see those buttons. All I am seeing is the 'Cancel download' button over here.
You may want to also check out WSUS Offline Update to update any computer running Microsoft Windows offline without an Internet connection.

Increased state use of facial recognition technology threatens to increase the power dynamic between the state and disenfranchised communities. However, what happens when individuals use facial recognition to watch the watchers? OpenOversight is an open-source project that promotes police accountability through public data. Users can sort through photos to identify an officer against whom they would like to complain. A lack of officer identification information has stifled previous attempts to monitor police; in Chicago from 2011 - 2015, 28% of complaints against police were immediately dropped due to a lack of identification. The OpenOversight team has leveraged facial recognition to make the project more effective. For example, we use the AWS tool Rekognition, which has been used by various police departments, to determine if police or military officers are present in a photo. This pre-processing has made the volunteer job of photo sorting more efficient. We also use face-api.js to match new photos against existing images in the database. After a discussion of this technical implementation, the talk will close by discussing legal considerations that we encountered, such as department-specific guidelines and compliance with Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act. The talk will provide concrete tools and strategies for community responses to state surveillance.
Eileen is a current participant at the Recurse Center, where she focuses her time on web app development and machine learning with feelings. She has worked as a software developer on a variety of projects, using Java/Spring, JavaScript, and AWS. With a background in legal aid, Eileen remains involved in civic tech projects, such as OpenOversight. When not programming, she enjoys doing yoga, reading, and people-watching. She once dropped her camera into a waterfall in Ecuador after rappelling down aforementioned waterfall. The camera still works, and Eileen likes to view it as a reminder of the importance of resilience.

Application Process
To be considered for one of our training contract places, you must participate in our Spring or Summer vacation scheme. We have up to ten places on each scheme. The schemes are designed to give you an insight into the work we do and to experience the unique culture of our firm. You'll also get a chance to meet our current trainees along with our associates and partners and find out what makes Ropes & Gray a great place to start your legal career.
Applying for a Vacation Scheme
The application form is your first opportunity to stand out, to demonstrate your interest for commercial law, and to tell us why Ropes & Gray is the right firm for you. You should make the most of your experiences, highlighting what you have gained from them and how this might apply to the skills required for a career at Ropes & Gray.
We're looking for bright, commercially aware candidates who have high levels of self-awareness and are open to doing things differently and you'll need to demonstrate these behaviour in your application form – click the image to find out more about what we're looking for.
We expect that candidates will have achieved (or expect to achieve) a strong 2.1 in their undergraduate degree and we accept applications from candidates from all degree subjects and those changing careers. All applications are reviewed by our Trainee Recruitment panel.
Contextual Recruitment System
We want our opportunities to be accessible to as wide a group as possible and understand that not every applicant's achievements look the same on paper. We have therefore integrated a contextual recruitment system (CRS) into our recruitment process. This tool allows us to further understand the context in which applicants' experiences have been gained and helps us to recruit the very best people from a range of diverse backgrounds. As an example, we might consider a candidate's home postcode, school attended, whether they were eligible for free school meals, if they are the first generation in their immediate household to go to university, and whether they were ever in care or once a refugee or asylum seeker.
Assessment centre
If you are successful at the application stage you will be invited to an assessment centre. We have designed our assessment centre so we can test whether you demonstrate the attributes we are looking for in a variety of different situations and contexts. We operate a 'blind' recruitment process on the day so anyone you meet will not have any prior knowledge of your application or academic background. We feel this provides all candidates with a level playing field and keeps the focus on your performance on the day. Our key aim is to ensure that we recruit the very best talent into the firm regardless of background.
Before you attend the assessment centre, you will be asked to complete a Watson Glaser test, then during the day you will complete written, negotiation and presentation exercises as well as an interview with two members of the trainee recruitment panel.
It is also an opportunity for you to learn more about the firm and our culture so you can determine whether our firm is the right place for you. During the day there will be a presentation from two of our partners, our current trainees will give you a tour of the office and you will have lunch with associates and partners.
All our partners and associates are trained to create an environment where you feel comfortable so as to give you every possibility to succeed in each assessment. Candidates should note that no specialist knowledge, including legal knowledge, is required to complete these exercises.
Vacation Scheme
Our scheme is a really valuable opportunity for you to experience first-hand what it is like to be a trainee at the firm, and to understand the firm's culture and expertise. You will also learn about how law firms work as a business, and how we differentiate ourselves from our competitors.
During the two-week scheme you will complete practice group and client work at trainee level. Before you join the scheme we'll ask you for your practice group preferences and we'll take these into account when allocating your supervisor. You will also be mentored and supported by your trainee 'buddy' and will be invited to an evening event with all of our trainee cohort. You can also expect to meet lawyers from each practice group, attend workshops, and you will have the opportunity to interact with our employees at social networking events.
Throughout the two weeks you will also be assessed for a training contact at the firm, and all students will be asked to research and write a short blog post, and work together in small groups (with support from our client development team) to research and present a mock pitch presentation using live client examples.
Former Vacation Scheme Students
Our Route to Ropes & Gray
Find out more about our Trainee's backgrounds and why they decided to begin their careers at Ropes & Gray:
Michael Harris – 4th Seat – Data Practice
I have an unusual background as after graduating from university I took three years out to play poker online full time and save enough money to fund the LPC. I was always intending to become a lawyer and after a vacation scheme at Ropes I was offered a training contract which I accepted immediately.
I was initially invited to a networking event at the office, which was an excellent opportunity to learn about the firm and their culture (and also helped tailor my vacation scheme application!). Following a fun and informative vacation scheme I was made an offer. I accepted my offer because the people I met on the vacation scheme and throughout the application process were smart, hard working and approachable and exactly the kind of people I wanted to work with.
William Moore – 4th Seat – Litigation and Enforcement
I was working as a parliamentary assistant in the House of Commons which, while interesting, didn't provide me with the intellectual challenge and career progression I was looking for. I have friends who are lawyers and talking to them really helped me decide on pursuing a career in law.
The HR team were really fantastic throughout the application process. I initially undertook work experience with the firm before embarking on the summer vacation scheme. When I received the offer I really felt that Ropes & Gray was the right place for me, particularly as I had been given the chance to experience the firm's work first hand and meet future colleagues.
George Croft – 4th Seat – Tax
I studied French and Spanish at university and wanted to improve my language skills further by training as a teacher. I taught for two years, which was a very rewarding and formative challenge, but I was drawn towards the lifestyle and analytical skills of corporate law. After doing work experience with local solicitors I enrolled on the GDL course.
Insider Advice
Listen to our video by Katy from our trainee recruitment team who will provide you with some hints and tips to help you with the application process.
Get some top tips on your application from our current trainees:
Moose Sarfraz – 3rd Seat – Secondment to Hong Kong office
When applying for training contracts, it is all too easy to use a 'copy/paste' approach, however this can lead to mixed results. While you may have some good, stock phrases you put in every application regarding your education, interests and background, be sure to tailor and steer these to the firm you are applying to based on your background research into that firm's practice groups, culture, clients, etc. Not only will this show your interest in the firm but it will also make your application stand out.
Ashleigh Morton – 3rd seat – Private Equity
Make sure your application tells a story – when recruitment get to the end of your application they should know what has brought you here and why, what skills and experience you have and how this will make a contribution to the firm.
Louisa Northover – 2nd seat – Antitrust
How you write your application is just as important as what you say in it. Make sure your application is well-written and precise. Aim to demonstrate how your experiences make you well-placed to become a Ropes & Gray trainee. To that end, it will put you in good stead to include examples of times when you've had to take high levels of responsibility in your work (whether in employment or in education) given that Ropes trainees are expected to learn by taking the initiative.
