It's exciting times for gigabit broadband. There are now around 150 gigabit broadband providers in the world and deployments are gathering pace. The U.S. leads the way: almost a third of small U.S. operators are now deploying fiber compared to just 10% in 2009, driven by the knowledge that the first operator to bring gigabit services to an area generally dominates the market. Certainly, the operators adding the most broadband subscribers in the U.S. in 2018 were the ones with the highest speed offers.
So, it seems that the time for gigabit services to take off is upon us. In this article I'll explore the reasons why and the options available for providers who want to get in on the gigabit game.
Why gigabit, why now?
First, we need to look at why we need a gig. Households today typically have several internet-connected devices and some forecasts say that by 2020 there will be seven connected devices per person. All these devices consume bandwidth and most of it is from video – which is becoming a mainstream in communication. (Why read a blog when you can watch a vlog? Why read a recipe from a cookbook when you can watch a how-to video from the world's best chefs?) TV screens continue to increase in size and resolution (4K to 8K). Families simultaneously stream different content to multiple devices. They catch up with friends and relatives through HD video conferencing, meaning high upstream as well as downstream connectivity is needed. This increasing consumption of video is not just a consumer phenomenon. Industry is dependent on video to manage everything from production lines to emergency situations. As bandwidth connectivity becomes less of a restraint, companies are switching to 4K video streams to provide more value to their operations.
While there are other usage trends, like online gaming and cloud services, it's the unstoppable force of video that will make gigabit services the rule rather than the exception within the next few years.
From an operator's perspective, there are some compelling reasons to go gigabit early to meet this demand. The first, as already mentioned, is market position. No one can doubt the buzz created by Google Fiber's arrival in the U.S., and it seems that the first operators to provide gigabit broadband in a service area tend to dominate. This is why gigabit broadband is often favored by the disruptor or new entrant who can quickly gain market share if the incumbent is still on lower-tier DSL services.
That's also why deploying gigabit services is a good strategy to deter competitors. This is particularly favored by smaller operators who are often jumping straight from DSL to gigabit or even multi-gigabit services. To be successful with this strategy operators need to consider coverage, as any underserved portion of a service area leaves a weak spot for competitors to exploit. For this reason, even operators with ambitions for full fiber are complementing their deployments in the near term with G.fast or fixed wireless access technologies to plug any coverage gaps.
Then there's the marketing kudos of offering gigabit services. In any market, there are always the early adopters who want the shiny new toy. Having a gigabit service available in the portfolio positions the operator as a leader and differentiates from the competition. Introducing a new top-tier service also tends to have a pull-through effect on customers in lower tiers.
Finally, there are business services. Residential fiber deployments pass businesses, 90% of which are small and medium enterprises with the same bandwidth needs as residential customers. Converging business and residential services on the same infrastructure makes a lot of sense for operations, bringing efficiencies and costs savings. If the bandwidth is available, adding mobile backhaul or slicing the infrastructure so that it can be leased to third parties are other lucrative opportunities.
Choices, choices
It's never been easier to get to a gig. Several technology options exist that can deliver gigabit services, and they're not just limited to FTTH. While our focus here is on the end-goal of full fiber, don't be afraid to complete coverage gaps with other technologies.
But in terms of FTTH, GPON is still the most common fixed access technology in the world today. Many operators use it to provide residential services of 1 Gbps as well as business services, mobile backhaul, and aggregation of remote FTTx micro-nodes. However, with bandwidth constrained to 2.5 Gbps downstream and 1.25 Gbps upstream, there's an obvious limit to how many gigabit customers can be served concurrently, especially business customers with high quality of service (QoS) demands.
So the serious money is on moving to next-generation PON as quickly as possible. In fact, analysts already forecast that next-gen PON will make up the majority of deployments by 2022.
A year or two ago, we may still have been debating which flavor next-gen PON you should choose: XG-PON, XGS-PON, 10G EPON, or TWDM-PON. 10G EPON is only really getting attention in China due to the large EPON installed base. TWDM-PON (such as NG-PON2) remains very much on the radar, but it is still not at a price point that will make it suitable for massive deployments. In the meantime, XGS-PON has beaten XG-PON to become the clear next-gen favorite for the following reasons:
- Symmetry. XGS-PON delivers symmetrical 10G, which is crucial for opening the doors to high-ARPU business services, premium-tier residential, and mobile transport opportunities. These are all viable near-term business opportunities with a next-generation PON network.
- Compatibility. The upgrade path from GPON to XGS-PON and eventually to TWDM-PON is straightforward, with no changes needed in the outside plant. GPON, XGS-PON, and TWDM-PON use different wavelengths so they can coexist on the same fiber. "Combo" PON modules that support both GPON and XGS-PON are becoming available for operators to upgrade customers from GPON to XGS-PON without any changes to optical line terminals (OLTs) or service outages. These combo solutions are ideal for mass deployments. For more tactical upgrades for selected customers, operators can use a traditional approach with separate PONs for GPON and XGS-PON together with an external coexistence element. This gives more flexibility and a lower initial investment.
- Cost-efficiency. XGS-PON uses simple, non-tunable optics that are cost-efficient.
Combined, these qualities make XGS-PON a clear winner in the effectiveness stakes. The opportunities for premium-tier services and convergence lead to immediate cost savings, increased revenues and, hence, a faster return on investment.
The next next-generation
With one eye on the future, it's always reassuring to know that the near-term investment has a long life ahead of it. So beyond 10G, what are the technologies competing to be the next next-generation PON and how do they fit with today's choices?
The winner or winners will undoubtedly be the ones that meet the same imperatives that XGS-PON meets today, namely cost-efficiency and compelling business opportunities.
The frontrunner is 25G PON, reflected in the fact that standardization is already underway within the IEEE. This is likely to be a very cost-efficient way of going beyond 10G. That's because the optical technology behind 25G PON is currently used to connect data centers, so there's a mature ecosystem of components rapidly increasing in availability, hence prices are coming down. Like GPON and XGS-PON, 25G PON is a simple TDM technology, meaning the upgrade path will be straightforward. As for the business opportunities, 25G capacity already has a number of medium-term use cases:
- Aggregation of gigabit residential services on a high-density PON with enough headroom to pass any speed test.
- Business services to high-density areas or to provide true 10G services.
- 5G mobile transport with its higher cell density and increased bandwidth, and higher QoS for critical mobile communications applications such as autonomous vehicles.
Another option being studied is 20G, created by bonding two 10G wavelengths, one from GPON and one from XGS-PON. Of course, it's more complex and costly to bond wavelengths – twice as many optics, for a start – and the use of a GPON wavelength makes coexistence a challenge. Two TWDM-PON wavelengths could also be bonded to give 20G, but double the amount of tunable optics in an optical network unit (ONU) makes it too costly for massive deployments.
Point-to-point WDM has also been touted. It provides a dedicated 10G or 25G wavelength per user -- but is unlikely ever to be cost-efficient for massive deployments. It might, however, carve out a niche for low-penetration, high-bitrate services like mobile transport.
Finally, some are pinning their hopes on 50G PON. Delivering 50 Gbps in an access network presents unique technical challenges that will require more expensive solutions. But, honestly, bandwidth projections don't currently stretch to a need for 50G. That said, we know human nature: more is always better and every increase in bandwidth quickly becomes absorbed and then becomes the norm. However, the other test aside from cost-effectiveness is the use case: there are few applications envisaged today that would need 50G capacity – 25G will do just nicely, thanks very much.
50G is definitely an avenue worth exploring but we're unlikely to see a mature enough ecosystem until 2025, which may be too late for many operators. So, much like XG-PON, which delivered 10G capacity way before anyone needed it and was then overtaken by better technology (XGS-PON), 50G may suffer the same fate of too much too soon. Time will tell.
A gigabit future
What it really all comes down to is the fact that there's no one way to get to a gig. While the destination is the same – a utopia where every home in every corner of the planet has a fixed fiber connection – different operators will use different technologies to get there, deployed at different speeds according to need and cost. That's what makes it so fascinating to be in the gigabit game right now.

1.) At the Disney sing-along last weekend we witnessed the definition of Man Space:
See that guy next to Laura? And see Laurie's feet just barely peeking out? There was approximately 1 foot of space for him to sit in but he assumed the position and took up about 4 feet. Way to go man, you totally conquoured that space!
2.) Look who was in town!!!
Amanda and Nathan! We rented bikes in Newport and road down to Balboa and had brunch on the roof at Ruby's overlooking the ocean. Milk shakes included. The perfect morning, am I right?
Look how cute the two of them are, all carefree and sunny.. I miss you already. Please come back.
3.) On Saturday night my Mom, Camille and I went out to dinner and then saw Brave and then headed over to watch the fireworks show that Chino always puts on the Saturday before the 4th of July. Why the Saturday before and not the actual date? Who knows, but it's certainly part of our kooky charm. They're shot off in the park right by the prison and as we were watching them my mom said, "I hope they let the prisoners have a peek," which is so tender-hearted of her. And it made me recall the tour at Alcatraz where it was mentioned that the prisoners could hear revelers across the bay and it made me so sad. And then I really did want the prisoners to be able to see the fireworks.
4.) As I was leaving Chino I noticed something in the window of my parent's neighbor's home. (This is a horrible picture, but it was dark, and you'll still get the idea.)
It is a giant bunny silhouette. I am convinced it is some sort of signal. Or that the Easter Bunny lives there. Or they're staging a theatrical production of Watership Down. Or Harvey, even though Harvey was invisible, maybe they're doing a really cool interpretation of it. Any guesses?

As the nation's largest and most diverse four-year institution, the California State University (CSU) endeavors to be a national leader for providing affordable high-quality degree opportunities for students from all backgrounds. On each CSU campus, outstanding faculty are leading the way, redesigning courses, advancing innovative student support programs, effectively using data to address equity gaps and collaborating beyond their campus to improve student outcomes. In this season of remarkable institutional transformation, CSU faculty are at the center of innovative thinking and practice required to significantly improve student success.
Tenure-track faculty, tenured faculty and lecturers from
all disciplines are eligible for this award. A faculty team (no more than three members) may be nominated for this award. Faculty who have previously been awarded or nominated for other campus or systemwide awards are eligible for nomination with one exception. Wang Family Excellence Award recipients will be ineligible for two award cycles—the year the Wang Award is received and the following year.
Nominations should include faculty who demonstrate extraordinary leadership to advance student success. Faculty leadership activity should be intended to institutionalize or expand innovative practices. Leadership activity can also be associated with effective program, department, school, college or campus changes that improve student outcomes. The Selection Committee seeks nominations that provide defensible evidence associated with outcome improvements and/or clearly demonstrate the positive impacts of targeted innovation or leadership efforts. Nomination must demonstrate how the nominee's role as a faculty member produced innovative teaching practices, course design, redesign or the development of exemplary supplemental support programs to promote student success. Emphasis will be placed on exemplary efforts and a continuous record of innovation to promote student success. Innovation and leadership achievements must be associated with improvements in student outcomes.
This is an open nomination process inviting nominations from students, faculty, staff or administrators to be submitted to the Office of the Chancellor by May 3, 2019, 11:59 p.m. (PST) at
www.calstate.edu/FILA. (Click the button below to submit your nomination.) Self-nominations will be accepted. Submissions must include a letter of nomination – not to exceed 1,000 words – detailing the nominee's innovative practices or leadership accomplishments. Nominations may include up to three short written or video testimonies to be uploaded to the nomination website. Written testimonies should be no more than 500 words. Video submissions should be no longer than three minutes. Nominations must include compelling evidence demonstrating the efficacy of leadership activities or innovative practices and their contributions to student success. Nominees will be invited to submit an additional statement of support on their own behalf, not to exceed 500 words. In the case that a nominee receives multiple nominations, the nominee will identify items that best align with the nomination process to submit to the selection committee for review. Nominations will be reviewed by a faculty-led selection committee using an evaluative rubric that assesses:
The Faculty Innovation and Leadership Award Selection Committee will be chaired by a CSU faculty member. Minimally, members of the committee will include four faculty members to be determined by the Academic Senate CSU; two staff members from the Office of the Chancellor to be determined by the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic and Students Affairs; and two students to be determined by the California State Student Association. If the committee expands due to workload, faculty shall remain the majority and the committee shall remain proportional to its original composition.
The selection committee will review all nomination materials and accompanying testimonies to determine award recipients. A formal review of each nomination will consider innovative and leadership efforts in areas that may include, but not limited to:
Resources available for the 2019 awards can accommodate one Faculty Innovation and Leadership Award-winner from each CSU campus. However, the review committee is not required to select an awardee from each campus. Each awardee will receive a $5,000 cash award and $10,000 will be allocated to academic departments to support awardee activities. This may include travel, reduction in teaching load, contract continuation for lecturers, equipment to promote effective teaching, campus convenings to demonstrate award-winning practices, professional development or other activities determined by the awardee(s). The cash award and department contribution will be divided equally for Faculty Innovation & Leadership Award team recipients. Costs for reductions in teaching load will be calculated at the replacement rate. The awardees and respective campus presidents will be notified in early fall 2019.

Hundreds evacuated after Southampton flats flood
Hundreds of people have been forced out of their homes for up to a week after a water pipe burst caused a "complete loss of power".
Officials said 300 properties in Ocean Village, Southampton, had been left unsafe because of the problem.
The three apartment blocks were initially evacuated on Sunday and then fully closed on Tuesday.
Firefighters said a basement had flooded, cutting the electricity in the Admirals Quay development.
The problem has affected flats in Blake Building, Moresby Tower and Hawkins Tower, leaving them without communal or emergency lighting, lifts, fire defence systems or a fresh water supply.
Management firm SDL Bigwood has said people will be allowed back home on Saturday morning "at the earliest".
Costs 'reimbursed'
In a letter to residents, it said the issue posed a "major risk" to safety in the buildings.
A spokesman said some people had been allowed to stay in their homes on Sunday night, before it "became clear on Tuesday the entire building needed to be placed in lock down".
All three buildings share the same water tank and electricity mains panel, he said.
He said SDL was currently working with insurers, who have appointed a critical management team and agreed to reimburse accommodation costs incurred by owners of the flats.
A spokesman for Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were called on Sunday night to an automatic fire alarm.
He said: "This was caused by flooding to an electrical system which resulted in a power cut. Once we ascertained there was no fire we handed the situation over to the housing management company."
'Take responsibility'
Pauliina Aminoff, who lives on the 22nd floor, said she had friends visiting when the fire alarms went off.
She said: "We all ran out and we were waiting for three hours with no information whatsoever. Just before midnight we got back in and the emergency light was off so it was completely dark, no electricity no water.
"There needs to be someone to take responsibility, they need to inform us."
Ms Aminoff also said the management company needed better emergency signs and lights.
SDL said it complied fully with health and safety regulations.
Fellow resident Evin Huang said she was "very shocked" and it had been "very inconvenient" because management were telling them to book hotels on a day-to-day basis.

IRENA estimates global geothermal energy workforce of around 100,000
In its annual report on employment in the global renewable energy sector, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimates a global employment of around 10.3 million, with about 100,000 estimated to be employed in the global geothermal sector.
The renewable energy industry created more than 500,000 new jobs globally in 2017, a 5.3 per cent increase from 2016, according to the latest figures released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). According to the fifth edition of Renewable Energy and Jobs – Annual Review, launched at IRENA's 15th Council in Abu Dhabi today, the total number of people employed in the sector (including large hydropower) now stands at 10.3 million globally, surpassing the 10 million figure for the first time.
China, Brazil, the United States, India, Germany and Japan remain the world's largest renewable energy employers, representing more than 70 per cent of all industry jobs globally. Although growing numbers of countries are reaping the socio-economic benefits of renewables, the bulk of manufacturing takes place in relatively few countries and domestic markets vary enormously in size. Sixty per cent of all renewable energy jobs are in Asia.
"Renewable energy has become a pillar of low-carbon economic growth for governments all over the world, a fact reflected by the growing number of jobs created in the sector." said Adnan Z. Amin, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency.
"The data also underscores an increasingly regionalised picture, highlighting that in countries where attractive policies exist, the economic, social and environmental benefits of renewable energy are most evident," continued Mr. Amin. "Fundamentally, this data supports our analysis that decarbonisation of the global energy system can grow the global economy and create up to 28 million jobs in the sector by 2050."
The geothermal sector is estimated to employ around 93,000 people at the end of 2017 with a large majority thereof in the geothermal heat pump business.
Geographically, IRENA estimates that about 35,000 are employed in the United States, 25,000 in the European Union, 6,500 in Germany, 2,000 in Japan and about 1,500 in China.
With the direct and indirect employment opportunities presented by geothermal energy, we though consider that the number should be higher. At least the local employment created around the geothermal plants around the world should push this number exponentially.

The 3 Neediest Zodiac Signs In RelationshipsSome of us are particularly dependent when it comes to love, always needing to be close to our other half and doing everything together. It's cute but it can quickly become very oppressive for your partner. Due to their differing personalities, certain zodiac signs are needier in love than others, especially the water zodiac signs. Zoom in on these three signs for whom love must be absolute! Let's take a look at the 3 neediest zodiac signs in love; do you make our list?
For a healthy, romantic relationship to flourish, both partners need to devote their time, attention and love towards each other. However, sometimes people can be guilty of showing a bit too much affection. Of course, showing more affection is better than none at all but … Be warned, too much neediness can weigh down relationships and is even sometimes the reason for break-ups. How needy in love is your zodiac sign? Is your zodiac compatibility strong with a needy zodiac sign?
The 3 Neediest Zodiac Signs In Relationships
Are you one of the 3 neediest zodiac signs? Drumroll please, because our top 3 neediest zodiac signs are Cancer, Pisces and Libra!
1. Cancer – Emotional-dependent Love
Cancers are very possessive people, who continually require tenderness and sweetness in their romantic relationships to feel reassured. Cancer is a zodiac which is often very emotionally dependent, and which requires a bit too much daily reassurance from their partner. This can sometimes come across as them seeming insecure in the relationship.
2. Pisces, Inseparable love
In their ideal world, a Pisces personality would be able to completely merge themselves with their partner to become one. It's simple for them, you should do everything together! Their feelings are strong and they sometimes let themselves get blinded by love.
3. Libra – All-in Love
While they may find it hard to know what they want, once they've found it they dive straight in the deep end. The Libra personality, especially men, tend to move very fast in relationships and declarations of love early on can sometimes scare away partners. Worried about losing their other half, Libras commit hard when they think they've found the one.
These three delicate zodiacs are, however, equally big romantics with whom you will live out epic fairytale-like storylines, so long as you provide them with all the love and support that they need and deserve. It's up to you to assure them of the depth of your love and everything will work out fine.

In Ghana, mental ill health has a negative impact on a huge scale. For those with poor mental health, a lack of understanding from their families and communities means that they're amongst the most marginalised people in society. It means that people with mental ill health can find themselves forced to stay in their homes or taken to camps against their will in an attempt to cure their 'curse.'
Even where communities are supportive, there are practical barriers to accessing support. Although Ghana passed a Mental Health Bill in 2012, resources to support mental health are still scarce. Only eight outpatient centres, and 2,890 mental health workers serve a country of over 21 million people, creating a ratio of one mental health worker for every 7,266 people.[1] In comparison, the UK has one mental health worker for every 371 people.[2]
This means that for many people in Ghana, especially in the rural north where wealth and services are disproportionately more scarce, accessing professional support in a clinical setting is not an option.
Art therapy provides an accessible alternative for people experiencing minor or moderate mental ill health. Art can't diagnose mental ill health or replace inpatient services. But it can be used as a medium to articulate and address emotional issues before they spiral into severe mental ill health.
Arts and Minds is a three-year programme that promotes wellbeing through creativity. We use visual arts – including traditional Ghanaian art – to support individuals with mental ill health, and influence public perceptions, creating a more inclusive approach to mental health.
We will work with the Sirigu Women's Organisation for Pottery and Art (SWOPA), the health and education authorities, and the regional mental health specialist to train teachers, health workers and local leaders to identify common mental health issues, and support individuals.
We will train local volunteers to become community art facilitators (supported by a mental health specialist) so that they can deliver regular community arts sessions in 18 rural communities over three years. Alongside this, we will deliver public art in public spaces, and deliver art exhibitions to engage the broader public.
We will bring together local organisations, community leaders, and local and national government to change the conversation on mental ill health. Arts and Minds enables people in developing communities to access the information and the tools they need to manage their condition and remain part of their community.

Periodontal disease can affect the overall health of the body. We offer periodontics, or teeth cleaning below the gum line, at our Charleston practice serving Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach.View transcript
DR. JOHN F. RINK: Periodontal disease is a disease of the structures that support the teeth, mainly the gums and the bone. Bacteria normally grow at the junction of the tooth and the gum and as these colonies are allowed to mature, they migrate between the tooth and the gum and infect the jaw bone. Once an infection sets into the jaw bone, the advancement of the disease usually occurs. So from a dental point of view we are very concerned about controlling periodontal disease, but what is really interesting though is that there is a link between periodontal disease and overall health. We now know that periodontal disease is associated with cardiovascular disease and sclerosis of the arteries and it has also been implicated in creating complications during pregnancy. So periodontal disease is a very important dental health issue that has significant ramifications, so one of the things we like to focus on in our practice is does the patient have periodontal disease and how do we control it?

Eni is actively engaged in assuring a proper access to remediation measures in case of impacts caused by the activities of its subsidiaries all over the world.
Eni is committed to verifying and providing, or cooperating to provide, remediation in case of adverse Human Rights impacts it might have caused or contributed to, and to make all efforts to promote the achievement of the same goal in cases where the impact is directly linked to its operations, products or services.
The Eni's Statement on respect for Human Rights approved from the Board on December, the 13th includes a whole section dedicated to Access to remedy.
First of all, the document sets out Eni's commitment to verifying and providing, or cooperating to provide, remediation in case of adverse human rights impacts it might have caused or contributed to, and to make all efforts to promote the achievement of the same goal in cases where the impact is directly linked to its operations, products or services.
Grievance mechanisms and other reporting channels, both at operational level and company-wide, are made available to enhance the opportunities for the company to identify and promptly investigate potential and actual human rights impacts and take appropriate action.
Eni prohibits, and undertakes to prevent, retaliation against workers and other stakeholders for raising human rights-related concerns, and neither tolerates nor contributes to threats, intimidation, retaliation or attacks (both physical and legal) against human rights defenders and affected stakeholders in relation to its operations.
Business enterprises' active engagement in remediation should take the form of both operational-level grievance mechanisms for individuals and communities and/or cooperation with judicial or state-based non-judicial mechanisms, as recognized by the UNGP n. 29 and by the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (Chapter IV, Human Rights, comment 46). Operational-level grievance mechanisms can serve as a primary form of remedy, especially when judicial or non-judicial state-based systems are weak or inaccessible. This makes sense especially considering that it is estimated that four billion people around the world currently live in conditions where they cannot adequately rely on the protection of the rule of law or have access to the institutions of justice. In any case, an operational-level grievance mechanism can allow companies to quickly and effectively respond to potential critical issues, stopping them from escalating and conflicts from arising.
In 2016 Eni issued a procedure on Grievance Mechanisms, which defines the set of activities to be carried out when Eni receives, in writing or verbally, concerns or grievances in relation to its activities. This procedure is added as an Annex to the Sustainability Management System Guideline, which is directly applicable to Eni SpA. Eni subsidiaries worldwide must ensure that this Annex is applied according to Eni's internal regulatory system.
Cooperation with state based judicial or non-judicial mechanism
Consistently with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, Eni also cooperates in other state-based judicial or non-judicial mechanisms (such as OECD National Contact Points, National Human Rights Institutions, or similar).
Eni enables anyone – whether third parties or employees – to send information concerning issues related to the internal control and risk management system or other issues in violation of the Code of Ethics, including Human Rights issues.
Non-retaliation and Human Rights defenders
On top of the commitment to non-retaliation provided for in the Eni's Statement on respect for Human Rights, the "Rules on whistleblowing reports received, including anonymously, by Eni SpA and its subsidiaries in Italy and abroad" guarantee confidentiality and anonymity to whistleblowers as well as envisage possible measures for any potential retaliation perceived. In addition, the Code of Ethics includes commitments to non‐retaliation, together with other important safeguards such as Guarantees on full confidentiality and Non‐interference with judicial and non‐ judicial mechanisms. Whistleblowing Reports can be sent through the relevant page.

Warren Gatland has wished England well for the World Cup final against South Africa and also hailed their stunning semi-final defeat of New Zealand.
England head coach Eddie Jones taunted Gatland after the Wales boss appeared to question whether England had played their final a game early by overwhelming the All Blacks.
Gatland was speaking after his team had been beaten 19-16 by South Africa, which sent them into Friday's bronze medal match against New Zealand.
And Jones later responded by saying: "Well, guys, can you just send my best wishes to Warren to make sure he enjoys the third and fourth place play-off."
But speaking on Wednesday, Gatland was full of praise for Jones's men.
"I was reflecting on the experiences I've seen in the past," Gatland said. "I was thinking about 2011 and the All Blacks.
"They had a big game against Australia in the semi-final, and they maybe looked at that as their final.
"They played France in the final and it was probably a game they thought they could potentially win comfortably. It ended up being a very tight game.
"I thought England were excellent against the All Blacks – it was the best I've seen England play in the last 10 years. I thought they were outstanding.
"I think it will be a great final with two physical teams, and I hope a northern hemisphere team can win the World Cup.
"There are a lot of players there who I've been fortunate to have had personal contact with through the (British and Irish) Lions, and I want to wish them all the best."
Gatland, meanwhile, described England's response to the Haka before that game as "completely respectful."
England have been fined for advancing beyond the half-way line when confronting the Haka.
Captain Owen Farrell and his team-mates formed a V shape to face the Maori war dance, but several players at the tips of the formation strayed beyond the boundaries established under World Rugby regulations.
The fine, which the PA news agency understands is £2,000, will be donated to the global governing body's official charity.
New Zealander Gatland added: "We haven't even spoken about the Haka. We might do a 'W' for Wales. It hasn't really crossed my mind.
"I think the way teams want to respond to the Haka is completely up to them. For them (England) to do something like that is completely respectful as far as I'm concerned.
"They didn't turn their backs or anything like that. They stood there and received the Haka. I was just thankful England didn't do some Morris dancing!
"I thought that was a perfect response. You can respond in your own way, and they were accepting the challenge. That's what England did.
"The Haka is about standing up and accepting the challenge because the Haka is challenging lots of things about you – how tough you are, how physical you are.
"It's important you don't take a backward step and you respond respectfully. I thought England did that."
Wales, meanwhile, have lost four players through injury for their game against New Zealand in Tokyo.
Full-back Leigh Halfpenny (concussion), wing George North (hamstring), prop Tomas Francis (shoulder) and flanker Aaron Wainwright (hamstring) all miss out after starting the semi-final loss to South Africa.
Gatland has made nine changes for his final match in charge before stepping down, including starts for Cardiff Blues wing Owen Lane, Ospreys prop Nicky Smith and Scarlets flanker James Davies.
Halfpenny had concussion issues last season, being sidelined for several weeks and missing a number of games for Wales and Scarlets.
The Welsh Rugby Union, meanwhile, said that Francis' shoulder injury will require ongoing assessment, while Gatland confirmed that ankle injury victim Liam Williams, who was hurt in training last week, had undergone surgery in the United Kingdom.
Gatland's reign ends after the All Blacks game, concluding a 12-year tenure highlighted by Wales winning four Six Nations titles, three Grand Slams and reaching two World Cup semi-finals.

FFSC presents Finnish films at the Swedish Cultural Center (1920 Dexter Ave. N. Seattle) on the fourth Wednesday of each month (except June, July and August) at 7:30 pm and on the following Friday at 2:00 pm.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the Winter War – the first in a series of wars in Finland during what was globally known as World War II. To commemorate this important event in Finnish history, three films will be shown in the fall run-up to the November 30 date the War began in 1939.
January 23/25 Hymyilevä mies (The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Mäki), 2016, 89 minutes, K -7.
Unquestionably one of the finest Finnish films of the last decade, this true-life story of a Finnish boxer preparing for a featherweight world championship fight while pursuing the woman he loves is beautifully realized by director Juho Kuosmanen. Winner of eight Jussi awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.
February 27/March 1 Iris, 2011, 81 minutes, K-7.
Iris is an eight-year-old from Stockholm who finds herself required to spend a summer on the Åland Islands. The adjustment from a colorful city life with her artist mother to a bucolic insular existence with her maritime uncle is the stuff of this charming and splendidly photographed film. In Swedish with English-subtitles.
March 27/29 Äkkilähtö (Off the Map), 2016, 95 minutes, K-12
Part road movie, part chase movie, part fish-out-of-water movie, part romantic comedy, this film is ultimately about how it is possible to find happiness through connections with others met in unexpected ways. Sympathetically directed by Tiina Lymi, who clearly has affection for her characters, whatever their foibles.
April 24/26 Toivon tuolla puolen (The Other Side of Hope), 2017, 100 minutes, K-12.
Director Aki Kaurismäki follows up his much- honored Le Havre with another acclaimed film about the plight of refugees, but the scene shifts from France to Finland, where a displaced Syrian encounters a largely hostile-to- indifferent environment. There is kindness, too, from a chance encounter with an empathetic Finnish man.
May 22/24 Ihmiset suviyössä (People in the Summer Night), 1948, 63 minutes, K-7.
This film version of Nobel laureate F. E. Sillanpaa's classic novel explores the sometimes tender, sometimes violent relationships in a rural Finnish village on a single summer's night. Directed by the legendary Valentin Vaala in glorious black and white cinematography that contributes to a dreamlike, poetic quality.
June, July and August Contact the Swedish Club for summer film programming at swedishclubnw.org.
September 25/27 Talvisota (The Winter War), 1999, 191 minutes, K-11
This classic film, released on the 50th anniversary of the outbreak of the Winter War, is hailed as one of the most realistic depictions of war ever created. With Antti Tuuri's script from his novel of the same name, director Pekka Parikka has created an epic that is, at the same time, personal and human.
October 23/25 Sota ja mielenrauha (War and Peace of Mind), 2016, 72 minutes, K-12.
Using archival footage, letters from the front and recent interviews, this documentary explores the prolonged psychological effects of Finland's wars on individuals and the nation. Director Ari Matikainen also skillfully puts those wars in the broader worldwide context of World War II.
November 27/December 6 Pikkusisar (Little Nurse), 1999, 104 minutes, K 11.
A young woman who has lost her husband in the Winter War becomes a nurse to victims of the Continuation War in this underappreciated film. Seen largely from the perspective of the main character, war becomes primarily a struggle to deal with loss and to respond to new opportunities for love.
December No film owing to the Christmas holiday.

How To Choose The Best Towing Company For Investing
If you need to call for a tow, you're probably in a very stressful situation. You won't want to make the situation any worse by choosing the wrong towing company! Here's how you can find the best towing company available to you.
Look For A Towing Company With A History
When you look into towing companies, you should see how long the company has been around for. You won't want to work with a company that's only been around for a few months. You'll want to find a company with plenty of history behind them, a good way to check is with the BBB to see when a company was registered.
If a company has been around for years, you can assume that the company is legitimate. It's easier to learn more about a well-established company. If you work with a towing company that's been around for quite a while, you'll be in good hands.
Find A Towing Company With Rave Reviews
Make sure a towing company has done great work for people in the past. You should look at some of the reviews people have written for the towing companies that you're considering. Figure out whether these reviews are positive or negative.
If people are saying a lot of fantastic things about a local towing provider, that's an excellent sign. It's likely that you can trust that particular towing company with your business. Look at what people are saying about towing companies and make your decision from there.
Search For An Affordable Towing Company
Towing is usually an unexpected expense. Thankfully, calling for a tow doesn't have to destroy your budget. There are a lot of towing companies that have very reasonable prices.
You should look for a towing company that charges fair prices for their services. You may want to compare the rates that a few different companies charge. Find out which company is offering the best deal overall.
When you look at the costs of having your car towed, you should look at some of the additional fees you'll have to cover as well. For example, you may want to see if the company charges a service fee on top of their normal rates. Make sure you know exactly what you're going to be paying.
Hunt For A Towing Company That Can Get To You Quickly
You shouldn't have to wait hours for a tow. You should be able to have your vehicle towed sooner rather than later. You'll want to look for a towing company that will be able to get to you quickly.
Some towing companies offer a guarantee. For example, the company may promise to arrive within 20 minutes. In other cases, you'll have to call the company and ask for an estimate. If a company won't be able to get to you for quite a while, you'll want to call someone else instead.
If you need to call a towing company, make sure you follow the advice listed above. These suggestions will allow you to connect with the best towing company in your area. You'll be able to get your vehicle towed, and you won't have to deal with any additional headaches.
Best Home Services to Invest in
Home services is ever growing, the economy is doing real well so well that some homes get sold within 24 hours. With the rise in home sales comes home repairs. Some of the most costly repairs many homeowners do are bath and kitchen remodels that can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Carpet cleaning businesses like Appleton Carpet Cleaning have reported a huge growth in revenue and sales this year alone. If you were ever thinking of starting a home based service cleaning business. Carpet cleaning is a great industry to get into.
Another huge industry to invest in is remodeling, many of these contractors are booked 6 months out. Now is the time!
How Largo Garage Door Repair Companies are Growing
Largo FL, a small fast growing city located in Pinellas county is about an hour west of Tampa and has seen a steady rise in residents and homeowners in the last couple years. Every homeowner will encounter some kind of garage door problems in their life.
Garage Door Problems
Generally you can fix these small problems on your own, the majority of problems will come when you accidentally put your system in "Lock" mode which will disable your garage door from working. Another very common problem is when your garage eyes are misaligned, if you have kids, it's very common to have theses tripped by a kid pushing toys into them.
If it's not either of those 2 things, then you likely will have to call a professional. BP Garage Doors in Largo have been doing garage door repairs for over 20 years and are the experts we recommend. There are things like broken springs, or bent tracks that have to be repaired by an expert.
Sometimes you'll even find that you need a full garage door replacement. Typically these can costs anywhere from $1000 to $5000 plus depending on make and model. Precision is another full service company we would recommend for professional help.
Largo, FL is a great time right now to start a business in the home service industry and we would give it our Facing the Sharks stamp of approval.

It is the position of Dietitians of Canada, together with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics et the American College of Sports Medicine, that the performance of, and recovery from, sporting activities are enhanced by well-chosen nutrition strategies.

GP demands probe into GMC registration of overseas doctors
By Nigel Praities
A GP whose father died following a mistake by a German locum doctor has called for investigation into the GMC registration of overseas doctors.
David Gray died in February 2008 after being given a 100mg dose of diamorphine by a Dr Daniel Ubani, who was employed by out of hours provider Take Care Now.
Dr Ubani was granted registration one and a half years before by the GMC, which enabled him to practice in the UK.
Mr Gray's son, GP Dr Stuart Gray, has called for the registration procedures at the GMC to be urgently reviewed for overseas doctors as he believed Dr Ubani did not have sufficient experience working as a GP in his home country.
'The GMC seems to be registering doctors from overseas without really understanding the qualifications they have with regard to general practice in that country and how this pertains to the qualifications of UK practitioners.
'I can't believe the GMC has looked at these certificates in some detail, otherwise they would have known he would have known he had very little experience in general practice.
Dr Gray, a GP in the West Midlands, said the current system of out of hours care put profits before patient care.
'There tends to be wide variation in how PCTs manage the OOH service and there doesn't seem to be any standards.
'Private companies are being hired to run OOH services and they are a business interested in making as much money as they can. Patient care often comes second to that,' he said.
The NHS Alliance urged OOH providers to vet their overseas GPs closely and 'err on the side of patient safety' if they had any doubts about their capabilities.
Dr Ray Montague, of out-of-hours providers BrisDoc and member of the NHS Alliance Urgent Primary Care Network, said: 'This shocking and tragic case should sharpen all our thinking about the delivery of out-of-hours care. We cannot risk another case like this.
'The Government and professional bodies must help providers to put in place necessary measures to ensure that all doctors who practise in Britain are trained to British standards, and that all patients are protected,' he said.GP demands review of registration of overseas doctors by GMC

African Press Review 12 January 2018
Issued on: Modified:
The Ugandan opposition launches a new bid to oust President Yoweri Museveni. A former government minister says Zimbabwe's new president stole power and is leading an illegal regime. Sudan says that the deployment of troops along its Eritrean border last Saturday was a reaction to military threats from Eritrea and Egypt.
The political opposition in Uganda has launched a new campaign of defiance, aimed at bringing the rule of President Yoweri Museveni to an end, regional paper the East African reports.
According to the report, main opposition leader Kizza Besigye said yesterday that MPs had betrayed Ugandans by passing the age limit bill that paved the way for Museveni, who is 73, to extend his 31-year reign.
Besigye called on Ugandans to boycott companies run and owned by members of the ruling party.
The new drive follows a protest movement organised by the opposition to campaign against constitutional changes that included the lifting of the presidential age caps.
Those changes were yesterday signed into law by President Museveni.
Moyo says Mnangagwa stole power
A former government minister says Zimbabwe's new president Emmerson Mnangagwa stole power and is leading an "illegal regime".
This is also in the East African, which reports comments by Jonathan Moyo, former president Robert Mugabe's education minister, in an interview with the BBC yesterday.
Moyo, an ardent Mugabe loyalist currently living in exile, no one knows where, says Mnangagwa and Vice-President Constantino Chiwenga came to power via the bullet and not the ballot.
He went on to say that the constitution had been subverted and that the army had acted unconstitutionally in briefly taking power from the government in November.
South Africa's challenges
The editorial in South African financial paper BusinessDay says the country faces even greater challenges, despite this week's boost in the form of an improved economic outlook from the World Bank.
The Johannesburg-based daily points out that the global lender would have made its calculations before the ANC's elective conference last month. But, says BusinessDay, the fact that South African growth lags so far behind the world average, trailing even the rest of the emerging economies, is a sobering reminder that the economic challenges are as great, if not greater, now than before Cyril Ramaphosa's ANC victory.
The budget statement is just one month away, with the funding gap now wider thanks to Jacob Zuma's announcement on university fees, which is expected to cost 15 billion rand (well over one billion euros) in the first year, and will eventually cost 40 billion annually. That's more than two and a half billion euros and is exactly the amount the finance minister has been promising to cut from government spending this year.
So he's going to have to find more revenue than the two billion euros already counted on, especially if the public-sector wage negotiations go badly for the government. How that can be done in an economy growing at slightly more than one percent is, as BusinessDay politely puts it, unclear.
Ramaphosa and his team-mates are not yet in charge and it's not clear when and how they might take over. When they do, tough decisions will need to be made. Even if Ramaphosa is willing to make those, it remains to be seen how constrained he will be by the fractures within the ANC's ruling structures and by the party's policies.
Sudan admits sending troops to the Eritrean border
Sudan has officially admitted that the deployment of troops along its Eritrean border last Saturday was a reaction to military threats from Eritrea and Egypt, reports the Sudan Tribune.
Last Saturday Khartoum closed the border with Eritrea and deployed thousands of troops from the Rapid Support Force to Kassala State, following reports that Egyptian troops were massing in the border area. Local authorities formed a committee to organise popular mobilisation.
The Sudanese ambassador has been recalled from Cairo.
The issues causing tension between Egypt and Khartoum include Sudanese support fot the Ethiopian renaissance dam project, a border dispute over the "Halayeb triangle" and a ban on Egyptian agricultural products.

Women's Daily Wear
22 Mar 2007
A month after the marriage, a woman will take part in a home coming ceremony where she will cook for her parents in law, showing them her knowledge traditional food preparation. During this ceremony she will be given three special gifts, a traditional knife, a njulu basket and a gomezi. Each is symbolic of the life of a married woman, the knife to peel matoke, the traditional banana staple, the basket for preparing food for the family and the gomezi, a symbol of womanhood and of the tribe.
Once married a woman is expected to dress less like a girl and more like a modest woman and the gomezi in a lot of settings becomes the dominant clothing. Before marriage a girl would only wear a gomezi at a Kwanjula ceremony and she may fumble and struggle to tie it. Now as a wife she will be able to fold and tie with ease and unaided by aunties and mothers.
It goes without saying that a woman wearing a gomezi in her daily life will not choose flamboyant shiny material or wear the sash which will make daily tasks virtually impossible. She will pick dull muted fabric and she will not fold and wrap using a sash. In fact the folds worn at ceremonies will vanish and the gomezi will be tied with a piece of string or an old tie.
Sometimes at occasions that don't warrant the full on gomezi, women will put on their 'smartest' daily wear gomezi like NN here who is welcoming guests that have come to her friends home.

Google has just introduced a new series of customizable phone cases for its Nexus lineup called Live Cases.
Live Cases were first introduced back in May 2015, but there were a very limited number of them available at launch. These new cases are more affordable, more customizable and are available for the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.
Google offer two styles for their lineup of Live Cases. Places and Photos.
Places Live Case allow you to use Google's own Maps service to search for the map you want to use, and once chosen, can be applied to the backside of your phone's case.
You can choose whether to use terrain, water or textured views, while there is also the option of a matte or glossy finish
The Places Live Case comes with a live wallpaper that shows device's current location throughout the day in the same style as your phone case. Not bad!
Another method of customization is the Photos Live Case. Once selected, any of your photos can be customized with different filters to your liking your photo, you can customize it with different colors and filters to your liking. A live wallpaper is present here too, but shows a slideshow of your favorite photos instead of a map.
Both styles of Live Cases come with a hidden, customizable button on the back. This button basically serves as another shortcut button to launch any app, be it native, camera, or a webpage.
The cases come at $35 a piece, and are available in the links highlighted in the article.
I must admit that I will seriously consider purchasing one of these for my Nexus 6P.
Do you plan to buy the latest cases from Google? Have anything to add? Share your thoughts in the comments
