Demand forecasting of diesel passenger car considering consumer preference and government regulation in South Korea
Changing market regulations in South Korea have allowed diesel-fueled passenger cars in the domestic market. The diffusion of diesel cars is tied to issues of environmental impact, energy supply and demand, and changes in tax revenue. Policymakers can influence demand for diesel vehicles to protect social welfare and to observe international environmental protection laws. On the supply side, carmakers need to know consumer preferences regarding new vehicles to arrive at development strategies. This study uses microsimulated demand forecasting to address these issues and predict consumer demand for diesel passenger cars. The model accommodates governmental policies and car attributes such as price and engine efficiency. We find that consumers will likely prefer diesel passenger cars to gasoline ones due to the low operation costs of the former in spite of high purchase price when diesel is relatively cheaper than gasoline. Finally we find that diesel passenger cars will capture a 42% market penetration ratio under the pricing system suggested by the Ministry of Environment of Korea.

Crow River News Sports
The long awaited conference showdown between Mississippi 8 girls' basketball rivals took place Jan. 11 at Rogers High School. The road team would prevail 54-37.
The Royals (8-6 overall) were looking for their fourth consecutive win, after picking up a thrilling 49-48 win Jan. 8 over No. 7 (2A) rated Staples-Motley. On the same night, No. 10 rated St. Michael-Albertville (10-3) easily defeated Brainerd 68-20.
Both teams knew the start of the conference schedule would bring both a challenge and excitement to the table and first-year Rogers head coach Karlee Anderson said she was looking forward to her first encounter to this intense matchup.
"I'm sure every player and coach said this already, but this is a huge rival," said Anderson, who was a 4-year standout basketball player at Bemidji State. "The girls were fired up and really excited to play. To open the conference with St. Michael was exciting. We were all ready."
The Royals and Knights may have been excited for the matchup, but both teams came out struggling out of the gate. The game saw its share of missed jump shots, layups and free throws and with only 7:12 left in the first half, the game was stalled at 9-9.
"We weren't running plays. We really weren't doing much," said STMA senior Natalie Van Wyhe. STMA's leading scorer was held in check the first half scoring just two points. "We finally got the hang of it and started playing basketball like we normally do."
Van Wyhe wasn't the only scorer struggling to find the rim. Rogers leading scorer Lindsay Dorr, a junior and sophomore guard Taylor Paulsrud were held in check. Both players averaged 10.2 points per game and Dorr was held to three points and Paulsrud wasn't on the scoresheet.
"I think we could have come out a little better," said STMA senior Jordan Hansen. "We could have got in their faces more and get in the passing lanes. But overall, I think we did a pretty good job handling them."
"Rogers is a great rival for us and anytime we play them it's going to be a great game," said STMA head coach Kent Hamre. "They have great athletes as well. But I think our defensive pressure got the best of them. They got a lot of young girls running around and our defensive intensity was the difference."
Court McClay of Rogers was the one player who handled the pressure defense well. The senior forward scored a game-high 15 points. McClay said she was prepared from the get-go.
"Being a senior, this was one of the last times I'll ever play St. Michael," McClay said. "They are very good at pressuring. They are a great team and it's always been a fun battle with them."
While Rogers never really found their groove offensively, STMA did. A 16-4 run prior to the half gave the Knights a 25-13 lead. The offense continued into the second half. With junior Erin Autio fouling out, freshman Sydney Tracy scored five points in her place. Junior Bobbi Brendefur led the Knights with 11 points. Van Wyhe and senior Makenzie Bebo each finished with 10 points.
It's the depth that seemed to be the difference.
"With this team, it can be anybody on any given night," Hansen said. "Nobody really stands out. It's more of a balanced effort and I really like that about our team."
The Royals have shown flashes of depth as well. In recent games, McClay, Dorr, Paulsrud and sophomore Taylor Anderson have each led the team in scoring.
"We have to get consistent. We're too up and down," Karlee said. One night we show up, the next night we're not there. We have to get consistent. We knew St. Michael had a deep bench and they were killing us with their second and third chances with their offensive rebounds."

I had 2 very deep lines between my eyebrows and multiple lines on my forehead and around my eyes. The dr. treated 3 sites- forehead, brows and under my eyes.
As a first treatment I had trouble initially with the change in facial mobility- esp around my eyes with application of eye shadow and mascara, but the results are extremely satisfying. I keep having friends and colleagues tell me how fantastic I look and asking what the change is.

So, apparently there's this popular song called Pony Swag, which is a pony rap that was created by a pony named Swagberg. A pony named iBringDaLULZ liked it so much that he penned another few verses to the song and uploaded it.
Another pony named r0ninKai liked this so much that he also made another section to the song. This third pony writes to us to let you guys know that he would like to encourage the practice, because it's cool and hip and he thinks it would be totally awesome if everypony gave it a try. I would, but, I can't rap. Not even if you put a gun to my head. Not even if my first-born sons life depended on it (note: I don't have a first-born son). Not even if Rarity asked me to. Understand the seriousness of that last one.
You can find two additional verses by different ponies here and here if you're looking for more inspiration.

GTA V Mission #5 - Chop
Tutorial Name: GTA V Mission #5 - Chop

Lamar and Chop show up at Franklin's house. Lamar tells Franklin to come along to "pick up some shit from around the corner". Franklin asks why they can't drive instead, but Lamar insists that they walk.
Around the corner is Lamar's white-colored Speedo. The three get in and Lamar tells Franklin to drive to Vinewood Boulevard.
After they reach their destination, they walk into an alley, where they find D chatting with a woman. Before being spotted, Franklin and Lamar both cover their faces with green bandanas. D notices them and a hostile conversation initiates. Lamar finally pulls out his pistol and aims it at D, who responds by taking off on his motorcycle, almost hitting the the two in the process.
Franklin and Lamar quickly gets back into Lamar's van and start chasing after D. Franklin is doubtful about catching up with the speeding motorcyclist.
After chasing through the SIMMET ALLEY, D is hit by a bus, throwing him off the bike. He then runs off through a city bus terminal. Franklin and Chop jump out the van and the chase ensues on foot.
The chase continues into a railyard. Franklin loses the trail but Chop sniffs it. Franklin opens a boxcar to check for D. Chop suddenly runs off across a nearby street, after having spotted another (male) dog in the same size. He walks up close to the other dog, and starts humping it, much to Franklin's obnoxiousness. The two continue their search and find another boxcar. Franklin opens it and find D hiding inside. D jumps out and runs off again, but Franklin sends Chop after him. After a short chase Chop manages to bite D, forcing him to the ground.
Franklin apprehends D and Lamar arrives with the van. While being forced into the back of the van 'D' recognizes Lamar. Lamar, who has removed his bandana, covers his face with his hand and denies his identity.
Franklin again takes the drivers seat and they drive back towards Lamar's house. During the ride Lamar accidently calls the feds using his cellphone, revealing their location. They are forced to let D go, and Franklin grabs Lamar's phone and tosses it into the street. Franklin then drives to the B.J. SMITH recreation centre to drop off Lamar and Chop.
I personally really liked this mission, it was intense and managed to grab my attention throughout the duration of the mission. The best part was when you where searching through the train carriages.

SPRING HILL — Most summer afternoons you'll find George Pope on his back as paddles his way around the swimming hole at Holiday Springs RV Resort.
The water is always a refreshing 72 degrees and is constantly replenished by a small spring on the south end just below a concrete mermaid fountain.
To the residents of the RV park off U.S. 19 and close by the Pasco County line, the freshwater spring is a source of pride and beauty, and a rare jewel in Hernando County.
They also believe it is a precious resource in need of government protection, something they hope to achieve in the coming weeks through a new rule they feel could head off an environmental catastrophe.
Named for a man whose importance is lost to local history, Bob Hill Spring is a third-magnitude spring that sends more that a cubic foot of water per second and feeds a winding creek on its way to a 3-acre private lake on the northern edge of the 35-acre property.
"I know people who swear it helps their arthritis better than any painkiller," said Pope, 76, a Michigan transplant who has lived at the park for four years.
But residents fear the spring could be in trouble if a proposed commercial plaza that includes plans for an automotive-related business is built. The close proximity of gasoline, oil, solvents and chemicals, they say, spell potential disaster. That's why residents at the park have been pushing for Hernando County to better protect not just their spring, but others in the county as well.
For the past nine months, Pope and other residents have become regulars at any government meeting where discussion of the spring has been scheduled.
"We feel very passionate about this," offered Pope. "We were determined to get something done."
On Aug. 9, the county Planning and Zoning Board will discuss an amendment to the county's environmental code to prevent the construction of auto-related businesses such as tire shops, oil change stations and carwashes, electroplating, or the installation of underground fuel tanks within 500 feet of all special protection areas.
According to planning director Ron Pianta, existing business would not be affected unless they were going to expand.
The amendment, if approved by the planning board, would then go to the County Commission for final approval.
For Holiday Springs manager Clyde Day, the new restrictions just might serve to avert an irreversible catastrophe.
"Just look at how quickly the gulf oil spill got out of hand," Day said. "By the time they figured out what happened, there was nothing they could do about it. People who live here would never get over something like that."
Holiday Springs resident Bob Earl, 68, said working in the automotive industry most of his life taught him that even the most conscientious mechanics make mistakes.
"It's bound to happen," he said. "A barrel falls over or a valve gets left open accidentally. The next thing you know you've got gallons of stuff running everywhere."
For now, the proposed automotive services plaza that worried the Holiday Springs residents appears dead. Pianta said the project was rejected last year for zoning reasons.
Todd Pressman, a representative of the RV park, said that although he felt the county could have taken even bolder steps to protect natural springs, he was pleased with the recommendations going before the Planning and Zoning Board. He was even more pleased that the Holiday Springs residents enthusiastically backed the effort.
"I think the victory here belongs to the residents," Pressman said. "They attended every meeting we had, and they stuck with it all the way."

text: I have a friend that is looking at the Spectrum books and she is a bit overwhelmed that there are 6 Language Arts type books. She was wondering if she really needs all 6. I have never used them so I didn't know what to tell her. The books she is looking at are the Writing, Vocabulary, Spelling, Reading, Phonics and Language Arts. Are some better than others? Does she need them all? Any advice would be appreciated.

Fertilizer Plant Explosion in Texas
How devastating. Last I heard, several firefighters, a police officer, and many civilians were killed. The little town was leveled around the area.
Teams of first responders descended on the devastated town of West, Texas, early Thursday where a massive explosion at a fertilizer plant left scores of casualties and turned homes to rubble.
The number of dead remained unclear, with police saying it could be between five and 15. More than 160 people were injured and "three to four" firefighters were missing or unaccounted for, officials said.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/18/us/tex...html?hpt=hp_t1Apr 19, '13I've been praying. Grandmother grew up on a farm near Waco. Mother born on a kitchen table near Bowie.
In its most recent risk management plan filing with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, West Fertilizer Co. officials said they had steps in place to prevent the accidental release of anhydrous ammonia.
The facility sold fertilizers directly to farmers, according to regulatory filings retrieved through a website run by the Center for Effective Government.
The safety plan, filed in June 2011, said the worst-case scenario would be "the release of the total contents of a storage tank released as a gas over 10 minutes."
Filed by the company's general manager, the risk management plan indicated there hadn't been an accident at the warehouse facility in the last five years.
The filing also said that "based on the most likely potential incident," an alternative release scenario would be "a release from a break in a transfer hose," company officials wrote.
To prevent that, the facility had pressure relief valves in place.
"Safety improvement is an on-going process at the facility," officials wrote.

He did not think Sandy's victims deserved assistance with the weather related fires and destruction of hundreds and thousands of people with no shelter. The GOP held up funding after Irene.
There is great suspicion that it was negligence on the part of the company and failure to appropriately plan for this kind of situation, in spite of the fact the cehemicals are volatile and extremely explosive.Apr 22, '13If this plant had such a large quantity of ammonium nitrate and didn't have a plan for extinguishing or suppressing fire then surely they were negligent.

I live near some large industrial sites and even though they have their own fire control, the local FD serves as their back up and are trained for the possibilities.Apr 22, '13West Fertilizer Co. Failed To Disclose It Had Unsafe Stores Of Explosive Substance
Reuters | Posted: 04/20/2013
The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Yet a person familiar with DHS operations said the company that owns the plant, West Fertilizer, did not tell the agency about the potentially explosive fertilizer as it is required to do, leaving one of the principal regulators of ammonium nitrate - which can also be used in bomb making - unaware of any danger there.
Fertilizer plants and depots must report to the DHS when they hold 400 lb (180 kg) or more of the substance. Filings this year with the Texas Department of State Health Services, which weren't shared with DHS, show the plant had 270 tons of it on hand last year.
A U.S. congressman and several safety experts called into question on Friday whether incomplete disclosure or regulatory gridlock may have contributed to the disaster. ...
... Failure to report significant volumes of hazardous chemicals at a site can lead the DHS to fine or shut down fertilizer operations, a person familiar with the agency's monitoring regime said. Though the DHS has the authority to carry out spot inspections at facilities, it has a small budget for that and only a "small number" of field auditors, the person said.
Firms are responsible for self reporting the volumes of ammonium nitrate and other volatile chemicals they hold to the DHS, which then helps measure plant risks and devise security and safety plans based on them. ...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the next chapter in my Smash Bros blog mini series. Today I'd like to talk a bit about my own first party wish list, as well as first party characters that have high chances of being included in the roster of the next Smash Bros game. So, lets get right to it then.
We can all agree that there is a multitude of first party characters that deserve an invitation to the next smack down, but there are some that we almost know will be included into the roster. So, here is a list of "most likely's".
1) Girahim - The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
Girahim was one of those characters that left an impression on anyone who has played Skyward Sword. He's a splendid swordsman with a knack for magic, and he'd fit right into place in Smash Bros. Girahim would most likely use his dual swords to fight while teleporting around the screen. He'd definitely be a more strategic character to play with.
2) Magnus - Kid Icarus Uprising
Magnus, the tough juggernaut of human from Kid Icarus Uprising will most likely be put in the next Smash Bros title. He's incredibly awesome, to start with, and anyone who's ever played the game remembers him. His move set would be no less bold than his personality, he would be able to stand take hits standing up like Bowser, but he would also be able to use his blade to land devastating slashes.
3) Zoroark - Pokemon Black and White/Black and White 2
Of course Pokemon is getting a new representative, as tradition goes, and it will most likely be the new Lucario, Zoroark. Zoroark is extremely awesome in it's own light, with it's transforming abilities and all, and it would make an excellent addition to the roster. Zoroark would depend on its fangs and claws for basic attacks, but lets say his B-DOWN move made him transform into the nearest character, giving him a somewhat Kirby feel.
4) Rosalina - Super Mario Galaxy
Rosalina is pretty much the coolest girl that originates from the Mario series, and she's one of my favorite Nintendo characters. Honestly, she's the only character from any video game that seems so motherly and kind to me. No doubt about it, if she was challenged to a fight she would unleash her celestial wrath. She'll most likely be included into the roster simply because of her appearances on the Wii. She was in two games, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and she is also a new character, leading me to believe that she's a prime candidate for Smash Bros. Rosalina's fighting style would be kind of different, though. She would float off the ground, hovering just a few feet above the stage. She would attack with blasts of cosmic energy or maybe command one of her "star children".
5) Wolf Link/Midna
Yes, even though these characters are slightly chancy to be putting in a most likely list, I believe they have a firm chance of getting in. Over the Wii's lifetime there has been two Zelda titles, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, however, Twilight Princess did not get it's start on the Wii console. That's right, Twilight Princess came from the Gamecube, which gives the game a very lengthy lifespan that blurred the line between two different consoles. It's safe to say that Wolf Link and Midna will be put into Smash Bros. Honestly, I see this going one of three ways. One, they drop Midna and make Wolf Link just a transformation of Link, two, they drop Wolf Link and just add Midna, or three, they add both of the characters together or even separately. Wolf Link could use his "wolfy" abilities to attack with, but paired with Midna's magic they would be capable of fighting at any range.
6) Retro Nintendo Characters
I want this to be an extremely broad subject, so we'll leave it at that. I predict we'll see a revival of old Nintendo characters, characters that have been left behind by time and technology. I'll bring out specifics in my own list down below, but just know there will be older characters. Come on, you mean you didn't get hints from Nintendoland when a Balloon Fighters and a Takumaru's Ninja Castle stage was included?
7) Samurai Goroh - F Zero Franchise
Samurai Goroh has held perfect attendance in the F Zero franchise ever since the first game in the series. Plus, we all know that it's time for another representative of the F Zero franchise. This one's definitely a no brainer. Samurai Goroh would most likely fight like Captain Falcon, of course with the addition of his Katana. Something tells me that he wont be too dependent on his Katana, because in the series he's never really been viewed as an expert at wielding one.
8 ) Waluigi - Super Mario Spinoffs
Come on now! Nintendo MADE Waluigi for the sole purpose of sports and fighting. I think he has a very strong chance of getting in, no doubt about it. His lengthy figure would make for an interesting character, and I'm not really sure what types of attacks he'll use but I'm sure Nintendo and Namco will figure it out.
9) Professor Hershel Layton - Professor Layton
I think it's as good as time as any to give the good professor a crack at fighting in this next installment of Smash Bros. Professor Layton has made himself known on the DS and the Wii, and he keeps his reputation rolling as his first appearance on the 3DS was just released with a new game already scheduled. He's such a well known character now, he deserves to be right up there with Nintendo's all stars. Professor Layton could fight with his sword, but as any good gentleman would he'd also be capable with his mind. I see him possessing multiple moves that analyze or effect the opponent in some way, since his reputation as a puzzle solver is on the line.
10) Paper Mario - Paper Mario
Paper Mario has become a more and more well known character. His franchise has even just released a new game on the 3DS, Paper Mario Sticker Star, which was a huge success. I think that Paper Mario will be our next 2D fighter aboard the smash train. He would use his hammer for a basic attack, but I'd like to see him be able to transform into objects like paper planes for flight or even a paper ball. He'll most likely use stickers in some way also, staying true to his newest adventure.
11) Yarn Kirby/Prince Fluff - Kirby's Epic Yarn
One of these characters will most likely make an appearance, it doesn't really matter which one, but one will show up for the brawl. Fans have wanted Yarn Kirby or Prince Fluff in a Smash Bros game ever since their debut in Kirby's Epic Yarn for Wii. Yarn Kirby/Prince Fluff could change into different vehicles like in the game, and use a string of yarn kind of like a whip to throw characters, also like in the game.
12) Isaac - Golden Sun
Isaac is a very deserving character. The Golden Sun franchise has been around for a while now, and it seems to lurk in the shadows. I think it's time for Nintendo to shed a little light on the series, and I think Nintendo realizes this too. Isaac would most likely use magic to fight, blasting foes with the chunks of Earth he controls.
13) Monolith Studios Characters (Xenoblade/Last Story)
Monolith Studios is now a Nintendo owned studio, and my bet is that Nintendo is super excited to have some new IP's on their side. There's no doubt in my mind that a character from Xenoblade or Last Story won't make the cut. I just had to add this to the most likely list.
So now that the "most likely's" have been stated, I'm going to provide my own personal top ten list. I'm not going to go into much detail on my list in this post, but maybe sometime in the future. So for now, just let this sink in and culminate or what ever.
- Professor Layton - Professor Layton
- Paula - Earthbound/Mother
- Yarn Kirby/Prince Fluff - Kirby's Epic Yarn
- Mike - Star Tropics
- Rosalina - Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2
- Fi - The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
- Starfy - The Legendary Starfy
- Girahim - The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
- Ephraim/Eirika - Fire Emblem Sacred Stones
- Paper Mario - Paper Mario
AND... The honorable mentions of my top ten list are...
- Bowser JR. - Super Mario Sunshine
- Birdo - Super Mario
- Magnus - Kid Icarus Uprising
- Lady Palutena - Kid Icarus Uprising
- Ash Ketchum - Pokemon
- Daisy - Super Mario
- Isaac - Golden Sun
- Wolf Link/Midna - The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
- Hades - Kid Icarus Uprising
- Champion Cynthia - Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum
Well, that wraps up this post! Did I leave someone out of the most likely list? Was your favorite character mentioned? How do you feel about my own list? Should some of the honorable mentions taken the place of some on the actual list, if so, who would you swap for whom? Tell me in the comments and thanks for reading!

Governor Nugent?
For all of his wild-man antics, the politically conservative Nugent is talking about following in the footsteps of celebrities such as actor Arnold Schwarzenegger or wrestler Jesse Ventura, who won gubernatorial races.
"That would be beautiful," Nugent said when asked if he would run for governor of Michigan in 2010. "I have threatened to do so and I was sincere."
Some of Nugent's antics make even Schwarzenegger's past outspokenness appear measured by comparison.
"Michigan was once a great state. Michigan was a state that rewarded the entrepreneur and the most productive, work-ethic families of the state. Now the pimps and the whores and the welfare brats are basically the state's babies."
Nugent refuses to mince words and often uses a racial epithet to describe blacks that normally would mean political suicide. He says his embrace of the word reflects his respect for the black contribution to rock and roll and has another expletive for anyone who disagrees with him.
Heavy duty weapons decorate the stage during his concerts and at his Las Vegas performance he condemned Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Long a critic of drugs, Nugent wrote a recent opinion article for the Wall Street Journal condemning the widespread drug use during the Summer of Love in 1967. He drank just cold water before his Vegas concert.
Nugent still embraces the carnal part of the sex, drugs and rock and roll formula and peppers his concert dialogue with a word describing women that many find offensive.
He described the availability of sex earlier in his life like this: "It was like when carp breed. You walk across the stream and they are ... splashing in the shallows. Just jump in."
Now Nugent says he is a one-woman man, living with his wife and youngest son in Crawford, Texas, near President George W. Bush's ranch. Life is "peaceful, barbecue every day, a lot of school activities with my son Rocco, a lot of charity work."
Although Nugent appears younger than his 58 years (he says freshly hunted venison meat is one secret to longevity), loud music for decades has caused major hearing loss in one ear.
"The ear's not too good, especially with background noise. That's a small price to pay," he said. "Believe me the journey was worth it."
Texas said no to Kinky so I doubt Ted would have a chance here.
Ted calls it how he sees it. If the rest of the politicians had the same ideals America wouldn't be in the shape it's in. I wish he was running in Kansas, I would vote for him.
What's going to happen if Hitlary get elected and our gun rights go out the window, as she is definately anti-gun. Or the government figures out that it's okay for everyone to have all the weapons they want, just won't be able to get ammo for them.
Nugent probably wouldn't be any worse than Jessie Ventura or the Governator as a governor however, I do think that he does the RKBA a disservice with his grandstanding. When we preach here, we preach to the choir. When we preach to the anti RKBA people we preach to the deaf and blind. It is the rest of the common people that we need to preach to and sway to the pro RKBA side.
These people are average joe smith's. What would make a better impression on them, the Rabid progun antics of some crazy Rock and Roller(with all of the baggage that goes with that stereotype) or a plain man that is similar to them? That speaks a powerful message but uses simple words?
I appreciate what the "Nuge" tries to do and it is good to have people like Selleck and the Nuge to counter people like O'donnel. But I think that you and I will convert more people to the pro RKBA side than Nugent will.

Putin's internet conference will begin in less than half an hour. (Update: Oops. It's tomorrow, not today. Tomorrow's the 6th, right?) There are 116,228 questions to him now, and the most voted for will probably be passed to him.
I, along with four other people, voted for this question, from a 40-year-old woman named Rada:
Dear V.V.
In the spring of 2004 we decided to return to our Motherland, to Beslan, after living "abroad" for six years. We sent our daughter to school, found a job. Several months later, Beslan happened. Our daughter was in a different school, thank God. We left again. If you were us, would you have stayed?..
(I found it via Marina Litvinovich, who had posted a link to the 28 questions about Beslan.)

visualize | communicate | ENGAGE
Nottingham Insight is a shared evidence base, providing access to data, information and intelligence about Nottingham and the surrounding areas. The site has been designed to help Nottingham meet its 20-year strategic vision for the city. This vision was developed by One Nottingham in full consultation with a wide range of residents, businesses, community, voluntary and faith groups and public agencies across Nottingham.
Laura Denny, Intelligence Co-ordinator, Nottingham Insight Network, says that getting the website to where it is today has been an iterative process. Nottingham Insight started out as a bespoke GIS application in 2005 which had been built in-house. However, it was taking time to maintain and the way the system was built was constraining future developments. The team had already used InstantAtlas desktop and felt that InstantAtlas server could help them meet their development needs.
Building the templates took some time and effort but Laura says it was worth it. The Nottingham Insight team were trying to push the boundaries and ended up using beta versions of the software to make sure they got what they wanted.
Data collection also proved a big task but establishing links with partner organisations has proved worthwhile. "One of the members of the team maintains the system but it's no longer a technical role. This means our developer is freed up to make enhancements as and when they are needed," says Laura.
Meeting the need
Nottingham Insight's profile library contains data on range of themes - for example: Crime, Population, Housing and the Economy. The data library allows for direct access into the underlying raw data which drives the profiles. The website also carries a database of documentation; these are publicly accessible strategic documents provided by Nottingham City Council.
A good example of Nottingham Insight in action is the way it was used by Nottingham University Hospitals' Strategy Team. The Strategy Team is responsible for preparing the NHS Trust's business plans which inform the way it will deliver its services. It used Nottingham Insight to analyse and describe the demographics of potential patients in Nottingham in order to discover any trends and to anticipate future demand for its services. This included analysis of age and ethnic profiles, 'health not good' rates, as well as health-related behaviours of people in Nottingham, including smoking.
Keith Reynolds, Deputy Director of Strategy, Nottingham University Hospitals says: "As the information on Nottingham Insight is shared with our other key stakeholders, we avoided any potential problems arising from incompatible data and findings. Our plans are shared with other commissioners of health services and local authorities we found that our findings resonated with their understanding of what the local population needs, which ensures we have joined-up planning."
Future developments
Now partners have seen the benefit of Nottingham Insight they are much more willing to provide data and the team is now in a position where it can send out standard templates.
Laura says that the aim is to provide a resource that helps local people question why partner organisations have decided on a particular course of action. This means continuing to publicise the website and make it much more "open".
The intention is also to give analysts working for partner organisations greater access to local intelligence so the website never stands still.

The recognition of Soviet Russia by China and of China by Russia (TIME, June 9 et seq.) naturally specified for the delivery of the Russian Legation in the Legation quarter of Peking, and the Russian Consulates in various parts of China.
This simple undertaking was complicated :
1) By the fact that the Russian Legation had been raised to an Embassy, which would thus give the Soviet representative precedence over those of the Great Powers who are merely Ministers.
2) By the fact that the Legation quarter is governed by the foreign representatives resident therein. The Chinese Government was technically not within...

Women's National Championship Starts On Monday
Cricket Fiji's first National Women's Cricket Championship has attracted five teams to compete in the tournament starting on Monday.
With women's cricket development work taking place in a number of centres throughout the country cricket officials are pleased with the turn out for the National Championship.
"It is great to see teams coming in from all around the country," said Cricket Fiji General Manager Martin Shaw.
"We have attracted teams from not only from Suva, but also from the west and even the Lau Islands."
The five competing teams are the Nadi Jetsetters, Lomary Schoolies, Suva Flying Angels, Moce Islanders and Veimataqali.
At the conclusion of the tournament Fiji's first National Women's team will be announced for their international series against Samoa which acts as a qualifying tournament for the East Asia Pacific Women's Cricket Trophy to be played in Japan in May.
The tournament starts on Monday and continues through until the conclusion on Friday. It will be played at 2 grounds – Suva Grammar and the Army Barracks Ground.
"This promises to be a great tournament," said Shaw. "The players have been training and playing in their own regions for a while and now the best from each region come together to play for the national championship and possibly earn a place in the national team.
"It's a great step forward for cricket in Fiji to offer these opportunities for women and we know it will only get bigger in the future."

A few weeks ago, an East Bethel businessman envisioned a community garden where fresh produce could be grown and donated to a local food shelf.
That vision is now a reality, and many people have and will have a hand in making this a successful venture.
On the site of the Marathon River Country Co-op gas station on the northwest corner of Highway 65 and 187th Lane in East Bethel sits 15 4 foot by 8 foot western red cedar planters that have been filled with soil and fruit and vegetable plants.
Volunteers will take care of the planting, watering and harvesting, according to the brainchild of this idea, Mike Rivard, owner of Rivard Companies out of East Bethel. No garden plots will be leased.
Annabelle Budde, director of the North Anoka County Emergency (NACE) Food Shelf, said its goal has been to offer more healthy dining options for clients and this community garden will offer a plentiful bounty of fine produce such as peppers, onions, potatoes, raspberries, squash, strawberries, lettuce and so on. There are even several trees with honeycrisp and honeygold apples growing on them.
Budde said some of NACE's clients may have grown up in the inner city where there may not seem to be enough space for a garden or they may still live on a smaller property.
Budde plans to tell clients about the garden just across Highway 65 from NACE so they can see where some of their food is coming from and learn that you do not need a large space to grow some of your own food.
"It's an educational purpose to show the community how little of a spot it takes to grow your own garden," she said.
Many hands in this garden
Rivard Companies was not the only local business that had a hand in making this community garden possible.
For starters, the Marathon River Country Co-op gas station allowed them to use a portion of its property that is nearest to the pond.
Rivard Companies donated the western red cedar material and Fleetwoods Cabinet Shop assisted with the manufacturing, according to Sean St. Hilaire, who works at Rivard Companies. They placed the garden boxes about four feet apart to allow wheelchairs to be able to navigate through the community garden.
The Green Barn, Green Valley Greenhouse, Holtz Nursery, Malmborgs Garden Center, Nowthen Nursery, 101 Market and Viking Tree chipped in the fruit and vegetable plants and trees.
MN Mulch and Soil brought in the composted manure soil, while Plaistad Companies provided soil for the garden.
Village Bank gave access to its water line for the community garden and MT Carpenter sent people out to hook up this water system.
Rivard said his company has been manufacturing these garden beds since 2008 and selling them to hardware stores and garden centers across the country. He was also contacted by community garden associations that wanted these garden beds in order to grow food for local food shelves. One group from Ohio e-mailed him a picture of one of these gardens where his company's garden beds were used.
This got Rivard interested in doing a similar community garden locally. He talked with the general manager of the Marathon River Country Co-op gas station, who ultimately agreed to let the garden be on a corner of their property and the other donors started falling into place.
Rivard was not familiar with the NACE Food Shelf when this project started, but he found out that there was a food shelf right in East Bethel that could benefit from this project. When he called Budde and found out about the walk-in cooler and display cooler they just got, the timing was perfect.

Psychologists were added at two Burbank high schools Monday to help students and staff cope with the deaths of five young adults killed in a fiery solo car crash early Saturday, Burbank Unified School District officials said.
While the victims have not yet been identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, friends and, in some cases, relatives have identified them to press and on social media outlets as Malik Hariri, Sebastian Forero, Sameer Nevarez, Sugey Cuevas and Stephen Stoll. The lone survivor, identified by friends as Savannah Underwood, is recovering from her injuries.
Each had attended Burbank High School or John Burroughs High School at some point, and two of them graduated as recently as 2012, said Burbank Unified Superintendent Jan Britz.
"The students are certainly upset, and it's daunting for them," Britz said. "At the same time, it has also really affected our staff. We want to make sure they realize we're there for them. We have resources and support staff available if they need to take a break today."
Authorities said the driver of a Nissan sedan was traveling south on San Fernando Boulevard at high speed, lost control of the vehicle and eventually slammed into an I-5 Freeway concrete abutment near the Scott Road off-ramp at about 4:13 a.m. Saturday. The Nissan was engulfed in flames when Burbank Police Department officers arrived, and the five people inside the wrecked car were pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
The 18-year-old female survivor had crawled out of the Nissan "and was moved away from the fire by a witness who heard the crash," said Burbank Police Sgt. Darin Ryburn, adding that he believes the witness was making a delivery at the Empire Center across the street at the time. The survivor was initially transported to County-USC Medical Center with a broken leg and has been interviewed about the crash, Ryburn said.
At least two school psychologists were added to Burbank and Burroughs high schools, and mental therapists from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and Burbank Family Services were also on call, said Sunita Batra, the district's director of special education and psychological services. Normally, the schools each have one psychologist as well as counselors available.
Autopsies of the five crash victims could be completed as early as today, said coroner spokesman Craig Harvey. Since the bodies of the three men and two women in the car were not recognizable, the office will be comparing pre- and postmortem dental and X-ray records to identify them, he said.
While speed was a factor in the crash, investigators will not be able to tell whether drugs or alcohol may have been involved until toxicology reports are completed by the coroner.
On Underwood's Twitter handle Monday, she responded to a flood of well-wishes for her recovery: "So blessed to have such amazing people in my life. You are all helping me in so many beautiful ways. Forever grateful for all of you."
The night before, she had tweeted that she was "emotionally & physically broken. I just want to wake up from this nightmare."
A memorial fund for Sugey Cuevas was created on crowdfunding website GoFundMe and raised more than $6,000 by about 110 people in 20 hours, according to the site's page.
Burbank Mayor Emily Gabel-Luddy, who had just returned from a Sister City trip from Korea, said Monday it was "a very sad day" for the city.
"It's a terrible tragedy, and it's made more difficult because of the very young ages of those who were involved," Gabel-Luddy said. "All those young people were part of our Burbank community. I think all of our hearts, from our entire City Council, go out to family and friends of the youth who were lost."
A Town Hall meeting with locals had been planned for 7 p.m. Tuesday at Luther Burbank Middle School. Gabel-Luddy said she would briefly speak about the crash and ask for a moment of silence in memory of the victims.
Councilman David Gordon called the incident a "horrible tragedy" and extended his condolences to family and friends of the deceased.
"We're all, in the community, in a state of shock," he said.
Staff Writer Kelly Goff contributed to this report.

It now has been a few weeks since free agency frenzy and I thought it was a good time for a quick reflection.
Mike Smith: I really hope that he doesn't continue last years play. If he's damaged goods I don't want him. I want the Mike Smith from the season before. Also, not a fan of that contract especially with the ntc.
I am just not a fan of long contracts. I think 3 is a good length. Any more than that and you set yourself up for many unknowns. Yes, those can happen in 3 years or less but then your consequences are also less. Hockey is a dangerous sport. There could be career ending injuries. Or maybe you just need to go in different directions. Maybe one party grows tired of the other. You just never know.
Biggest Signing: I am excited to welcome Mike Ribeiro to the team. I always hated playing against him. He was one of those players you want on your team, not to play against. It is also refreshing to hear that he really wanted to come here because of Tippett (and for once Tippett looked down right giddy at a press conference). I believe he will be a good fit here.
Biggest loss: I am sad to see Boyd Gordon go. He was a good fit here, won face-offs, blocked shots… basically did all the little things right. I get Edmonton offered him a boatload more than we could but he leaves a big hole. And yes, I know Chip will get more playing time now but I think Gordon is a more skilled, well rounded player. Chip always seems like he is trying to hard and ends up missing great opportunities to pass/shoot etc.
New coach: It appears we have brought on a new coach for the power play. Honestly I don't even know his name off the top of my head. I just hope he is the answer (this makes me a terrible blogger, doesn't it?).
I was not able to go to development camp but my source told me that Domi was outstanding but kind of small. He just signed and coaches said he has a chance to make the big team. I look forward to training camp.
Will this be the Coyotes year? I really don't know but I am excited to (maybe finally) have an owner and to watch some good hockey!

The Italian manager's side are hoping to replicate the 2-0 victory they achieved over German opposition during the group stages of last year's Champions League

Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer

Maicon (ankle/foot), Jack Rodwell (groin) and Micah Richards (ankle/foot) are all sidelined, but otherwise Roberto Mancini has a full quota of players to choose from.
The Italian manager is expected to field a similar side to that which beat Fulham 2-1 in the league, with Matija Nastasic and Gael Clichy continuing in defence ahead of Joleon Lescott and Aleksandar Kolarov respectively.
Despite scoring the winning goal at Craven Cottage, Edin Dzeko will probably remain on the bench with Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero retaining their places.
Jurgen Klopp has no notable absences and should be able to field a full strength side at the Etihad Stadium.
Robert Lewandowski was rested for Dortmund's 5-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend but will return to the side with Julian Schieber dropping back to the bench.
- Manchester City are yet to keep a clean sheet this season. The Citizens have conceded 17 goals in nine games in all competitions.
- City are undefeated at home in their last 17 European matches.
- Mancini's men failed to win their last two home games. It is two years since Man City last went three games without winning at home.
- City have a positive record at home to German opposition, having won home ties against Bayern Munich, Hamburg and Schalke, while drawing with Borussia Monchengladbach.
- City and Dortmund have never met in a competitive match, but did face each other in a preseason fixture two years ago with the German club winning 3-1.
- Borussia Dortmund lost all three of their away fixtures in last season's Champions League, including a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.
- Marco Reus (pictured right) leads the German champions' scoring charts this season with five goals in seven games in all competitions.
- Dortmund's 31-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga was ended last week by Hamburg.
- No side has averaged more shots per game away from home (17.7) than Dortmund in the Bundesliga this season, nor has any side conceded fewer (8.7).
- Dortmund have lost on their last three visits to England (against Arsenal twice and Liverpool), but beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1997 en route to winning the competition.

I am 54 and recently lost about 45 pounds and my arms have developed very wrinkly skin. Will an arm lift help?
Arm Lift for Wrinkly Arm Skin After Weight Loss?
Doctor Answers 19
Options for Arm lift or Brachioplasty after weight loss
The options for improving the appearance of the arm after weight loss depends on the degree of excess skin, laxity of soft tissue, and the amount of fatty deposit.
Here are your options:
- Full or Min Brachioplasty (arm lift)
- Brachioplasty and liposuction
- Liposuction alone
- Laser assisted Liposculpture
Please consult Board certified plastic surgeons to help you with this.
Dr. Sajjadian
Majority of Weight Loss Patients Require Brachioplasty Surgery
It's not unusual for weight loss patients to develop loose saggy upper arm skin. When this wrinkly loose skin occurs, treatment varies from patient to patient and depends on a variety of factors. Under these circumstances, the vast majority of massive weight loss patients require brachioplasty surgery.
In your case it's virtually impossible to make a recommendation without pictures or a physical examination. An arm lift is probably necessary for someone who has lost 45 pounds, but occasionally liposuction alone is adequate.
It's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience performing arm lift surgery. This surgeon should be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.

Arm lift after massive weight loss.
The best indication for an arm lift, and the most gratifying are those who have lost a lot of weight. The skin is usually flabby and overstretched. It is simple and effective to remove the skin that has been stretched past its capacity. No Liposuction, or other noninvasive modalitiy will help the skin become more firm around the arms. The length and type of the incision will vary depending upon the location and the amount of fat in the arms. The cost will also vary by geographic locale. Most will run anywhere from $3500-$7000. I would advise you to visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to have treatment recommendations specific to your concerns.

Unfortunately, wrinkly arm skin is a common side effect of massive weight loss. Not having seen pictures of your arms, I would anticipate that you would benefit from an arm lift.
Given your age, it is difficult for the skin to bounce back. Also, given your weight loss, I would suggest an arm lift or brachioplasty. This is done through an incision from the armpit to the elbow and this is often done with liposuction. Typically, the scars are very acceptable.

Arm lift (brachioplasty) after weight loss
Congratulations on your weight loss! If you have a fair amount of loose skin on your upper arms, then you may be a good candidate for an arm lift. Sometimes this surgery is combined with liposuction if the upper arm needs it. Arm lifts tend to leave lengthy scars, from the armpit to the elbow, and sometimes they can widen or thicken. Scar revisions are sometimes helpful.
I suggest you visit with at least one board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in body contouring to discuss your situation in more detail. I hope that helps and wish you all the best!
Options for wrinkled arm skin after weight loss...
When a person has lost a substantial amount of weight there tends to be a lot of loose skin on their body. Many patients have loose skin on their arms and would benefit from Brachioplasty, also called an arm lift. Liposuction is not a great option for loose skin unless a lot of fat is still present. For Brachioplasty, your surgeon would make an incision in the underarm area down to the elbow on the inner part of your arm, as to conceal the scar, and remove the excess skin. Then using optimal plastic surgery techniques he will close the incision line. After the healing process you should be left with a thin white line. Consult with your plastic surgeon to see if you would be a candidate for this procedure.
Arm surgery?
Yes, barring any contraindications, you may be an excellent candidate for arm lifting surgery.
You should educate yourself regarding the scars associated with this procedure- they do tend to spread or experience pigment change. Scar revision surgery is often necessary/helpful. Planning of the excision is critical- the resulting scar should be as hidden as possible. Personally, I think this scar is least visible when it ends up on the inferior (bottom) of the arm as opposed to the bicipital groove (between the biceps and triceps muscles).
Only you can determine if the improvement of the contour of the arms is worth the trade-off of the scar In your case. This can be best done with the help of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Lax upper arm skin is the usual reason for brachioplasty. Just be sure your weight change is complete and stable as things may look different if you lose or gain a good deal of weight after surgery.
Best Regards,
John Di Saia MD
Excess skin in arms after weight loss
First, congratulations on your successful weight loss! Arm lift or Brachioplasty surgery is best suited to those patients who have loose, empty skin in the upper arm and desire more confidence in their arm appearance. After surgery there is less loose skin, however, the trade off is a scar from near the armpit to the elbow. An experienced, board certified plastic surgeon can assist you in deciding if this surgery is a good option for you.

An arm lift procedure is one in which the loose skin and excess fat is removed from the medial(inner) side of the arm,
