NICHOLASVILLE, Ky. -- Nationally-ranked No. 14 Hampden-Sydney College posted a second-round team score of 315 on Wednesday for a 36-hole score of 612 (297-315) to stand 13th among 42 teams at the 2019 NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships being played at the Keene Trace Golf Club in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The Tigers made the tournament's two-round cut, advancing among the Top 18 teams and six individual qualifiers that will continue playing for the national championship on Thursday and Friday.
H-SC competed during day two in honor of Marine Corps Staff Sergeant David H. Stewart, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan in 2014. Each participating team played for a fallen veteran for the Folds of Honor. Since 2007, the Folds of Honor has carried forth a singular, noble mission: To provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled service-members. Their motto says it best. Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy.
Playing the more difficult Keene Trace GC, Champion Trace course, a par 72, 7,190-yard layout, the Tigers are being led by junior Bruce Shober/Appomattox with his two-day score of 71-80--151, tied for 39th among the 216 golfers who completed 36 holes. He is being followed by sophomore Allen Smith/Durham, N.C. (73-80--153, T-54), junior Adam Hade/Richmond (77-78--155, T-78), along with freshmen John Hatcher Ferguson/Rocky Mount (79-77--156, T-89) and Hunter Martin/Gloucester (76-85--161, T-137). Shober had one birdie and nine pars during his second round. Smith had three birdies on the front nine, going out in 35, with seven pars. Hade had two birdies and nine pars for the second consecutive day. Ferguson had two birdies and 10 pars. Martin had eight pars.
Nationally-ranked No. 3 Illinois Wesleyan is leading the event with its 578, followed by fellow Old Dominion Athletic Conference member and No. 6 Guilford at 582. Rounding out the Top Five are No. 4 Wittenberg (587), No. 2 Huntingdon (590) along with a three-way tie for fifth among No. 5 Methodist (598), No. 17 Oglethorpe (598) and No. 25 Trinity (598). Cameron Willis of Wittenberg and Zane Brownrigg of Methodist are tied for first individually at two-under par 142.
H-SC is tied for eighth in par 3 scoring (3.30, +12), tied for 14th in par 4 scoring (4.36, +36) and is 18th in par 5 scoring (5.20, +8). The Tigers are tied for 15th in pars (99) and tied for 21st in birdies (18). Hade is tied for seventh in par 3 scoring (3.00, E), while Shober is tied for 16th in par 3 scoring (3.13, +1). Smith is tied for 22nd in birdies (26).
The Tigers will continue their competition in the national tournament on Thursday and Friday at the Keene Trace GC, Champion Trace course. Keene Trace is located in the Kentucky Bluegrass of Nicholasville, approximately 12 miles southwest of Lexington.

On the 9th of August 1934, The Cornishman recorded the opening of a second, and as it turned out, final enquiry into the proposed St Ives slum clearances. The enquiry and taken place on the previous Thursday, August 2nd, in the Guildhall in St Ives. The enquiry was held at the instigation of the Ministry of Health, and focused on the controversial debate into the clearances proposed for the lower part of the town. This area is referred to in the report as being working class; locally it is still known as "down-a-long" or simply, "downlong". The Minister of Health at the time was Neville Chamberlain.
Amongst the areas cleared was the much missed Capel Court, also known as Pudding Bag Lane and as the locals said; "In one way and out the same" as it was in effect an old, somewhat cramped courtyard. This was situated behind the well-known Sloop Inn and the cleared area, later in 1936 became, at the behest of St Ives Town Council, a car-park. However, this was a central part of the picturesque part of town which was much beloved of artists. Additionally, this area also contained the first meeting place of the first Old Cornwall Society. Robert Morton Nance, the man who did so much to revive the Cornish language, founder of the Cornish Gorseth and who was a leading light of the Old Cornwall Society, was just one of many who were deeply upset by the proposals. As indeed were the occupants of the houses, here and in other streets too, who were eventually forcibly re-housed. The newly-built council houses were to be built at a considerable distance out of the town at Bullan's Lane and Ayr.
The Cornishman article also mentions Dr J.M.Nicholls. He by 1934 had been a G.P. in the town for 49 years. At the time of this inquiry he had been providing annual reports to the Ministry as the Medical Officer of Health in St Ives and had been very concerned for years about the high rate of infant mortality, recognising that in a poor season of fishing, many of his patients were close to starving. Essentially, the State only became appraised of the extent of the poor health of adult males with the massive expansion of military recruitment after 1914. Indeed, this knowledge was a major factor for the introduction of the Ministry of Health at a time when, on average, men were considered fortunate, to live beyond the age of fifty.
Dr Nicholls had made frequent criticisms of the standards of housing (cold, damp and overcrowded), the uncovered Stennack river into which all kinds of effluent was pitched, as well as poor quality of plumbing (standpipes were not uncommon). Dr Nicholls was born in Camborne and appears to have had something of the buccaneer about him, using an early motorcycle to tour the large area of his practice. It was a succession of his reports to Ministry on the overcrowding of downlong properties that were, it seems, beyond repair, which led to the enquiry. The Ministry was compelling local authorities to improve the quality of housing stock. The Thirties was actually a good period for house building.
The state intervention, however, was done with little or no respect for local feelings in what was a close community. Newlyn, a few years later, learnt from St Ives and mounted a vigorous and successful protective campaign to Westminster led by the fishing boat, The Rosebud PZ87.

The feasibility and acceptability of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention for people with psychosis: The 'ACT for life' study.
|Related Articles
The feasibility and acceptability of a brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) group intervention for people with psychosis: The 'ACT for life' study.
J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry. 2015 Oct 8;50:257-263
Authors: Johns LC, Oliver JE, Khondoker M, Byrne M, Jolley S, Wykes T, Joseph C, Butler L, Craig T, Morris EM
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a contextual cognitive-behavioural approach with a developing evidence base for clinical and cost-effectiveness as an individually-delivered intervention to promote recovery from psychosis. ACT also lends itself to brief group delivery, potentially increasing access to therapy without inflating costs. This study examined, for the first time, the feasibility and acceptability of ACT groups for people with psychosis (G-ACTp).
METHODS: Participants were recruited from community psychosis teams. Ratings of user satisfaction, and pre-post change in self-rated functioning (primary outcome), mood (secondary outcome) and ACT processes were all completed with an independent assessor. Of 89 people recruited, 83 completed pre measures, 69 started the four-week G-ACTp intervention, and 65 completed post measures.
RESULTS: Independently assessed acceptability and satisfaction were high. Functioning (Coeff. = -2.4, z = -2.9, p = 0.004; 95% CI: -4.0 to -0.8; within subject effect size (ES) d = 0.4) and mood (Coeff. = -2.3, z = -3.5, p = 0.001; 95% CI: -3.5 to -1.0; d = 0.4) improved from baseline to follow-up. Commensurate changes in targeted ACT processes were consistent with the underlying model.
LIMITATIONS: The uncontrolled, pre-post design precluded blinded assessments, and may have inflated effect sizes. Participants may have improved as a result of other factors, and findings require replication in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).
CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study showed that brief group ACT interventions for people with psychosis are feasible and acceptable. Uncontrolled, pre-post assessments suggest small clinical improvements, and changes in psychological processes consistent with an ACT model. Replication in an RCT is required, before implementation can be recommended.

On today's date in 1897, John Philip Sousa was in Philadelphia and leading his band in the premiere performance of "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" Sousa wrote his most famous march on Christmas Day, 1896, in a New York hotel room—completing the score, he said, in just a couple of hours. The work's title was a tribute to one of Sousa's mentors, another legendary bandmaster named Patrick S. Gilmore, whose favorite toast was, "Here's to the Stars and Stripes forever!"
The 1897 premiere of the march went over well, but at first sales didn't surpass the other Sousa marches available at the time. It was the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898, the subsequent national eruption of patriotic fervor, and some cagey showmanship on Sousa's part that catapulted "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" into its unique status. Sousa crafted a touring patriotic pageant involving hundreds of performers, which ended with "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" playing, as soldiers from all three branches of the military marched on-stage with flags unfurled, culminating in the entrance of an attractive local beauty decked out in red, white, and blue.
Despite the thousands of times Sousa and his band were required to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever!" they claimed they never tired of it. And in its now 100+ year history, it's become one of the most frequently performed pieces of American music worldwide.

Modular buildings are becoming increasingly popular for educational, commercial and residential use. Modular building construction has major advantages over traditional building methods. But what is a modular building, and what are the main benefits of building modular for schools, residential homes and companies?
Recently Green Modular recycled one of their modular school buildings by donating it to St Mathews School.
If your school needs extra classroom space, multifunctional modular buildings are a great way for schools to make effective use of their existing space.
Structural Insulated Panels are a highly durable compact panels with excellent thermal performance that are sandwiched together to create robust and air-tight modular buildings.
Here are 10 ways schools can use our modular buildings - get inspired and read on!
It's true, as any neuroscientist will tell you, we make our minds up about things almost instantaneously, we can't help it.

Crabtree & Evelyn India Hicks Island Living Spider Lily Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy RRP £13.50 for 50g
Now I got this 25g tube as part of a gift set for Christmas and usually I detest hand cream. I'm really no good with moisturiser as a whole, I hate the feeling but I'm trying to help my skin these days so I've managed to use this whole tube in a month. I had this one sitting on my desk in work and the other girls loved the smell of it too. It's a very light citrus fragrance which is ideal for me and it sinks into the skin super quick. I'd totally recommend this to anyone, like myself who would struggle to use hand cream. Luckily the set I got this in, has another tube of the same so I'm set for another month.

The Comet Run Day Battle was a battle between the Tusken Raider's and the Settler's Call group
The Tusken Raider's attacked Dannar's Claim during the Comet Run while most of the settler's were away. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Annie Calwell held off the Tusken's until all the settler's arrived. Wyle Ulbreck and secretly Obi-Wan Kenobi held off the Tusken's until their retreat.
The settler's then returned from Comet Run. The settler's pursued and massacred the retreating Tuskens at Hanter's Gorge.
The people of Dannar's Claim had to regroup and the Tusken Raiders had to retreat with massive casualties

Every week, we'll mine the waiver wire for lesser-owned assets to help your squad, whether you favor dynasty or the redraft format, and we'll also toss in some tips for DFS players out there. Finally, we will look at some former go-to fantasy assets who might be overvalued -- in the short or long term -- for one reason or another.
Jordan Staal, C, Carolina Hurricanes (23.0 percent): After a five-game drought, Staal -- whom we were all excited about following his healthy return in late February -- is finally back at it with three goals and three assists in his past five games. Splitting red-hot rookie Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo Teravainen on a Hurricanes scoring line, the veteran center projects to wrap up 2018-19 on the upswing as Carolina aims to nail down a playoff berth during its final stretch of seven games.
Anthony Cirelli, C, Tampa Bay Lightning (7.0 percent): The Lightning's third-line center refuses to cool off. With 11 points in his past 12 contests, the 21-year-old has also scored a goal in three of his past four games. Averaging more than 16 minutes of ice time since early March, Cirelli could serve as a useful plug-in on any still-relevant roster hit by injury, unless power-play points come with a premium. Scoring with the extra skater simply isn't his jam.
Alexander Nylander, LW, Buffalo Sabres (1.2 percent): A future fantasy contributor in Buffalo, William Nylander's younger brother is earning an rich opportunity at present, skating on a top line with Jack Eichel and Conor Sheary. He scored from that very position (assisted by Eichel) last Saturday in Montreal. Drafted at No. 8 overall in 2016, the 21-year-old is expected to finally carve out a full-time role with the Sabres, beginning next fall. Though managers in deeper dynasty leagues should already be looking forward to that next chapter, Nylander might sport some dark horse value in DFS play in the present, at least as long as he sticks with that top forward unit.
Sam Steel, C, Anaheim Ducks (0.3 percent): Like Nylander in Buffalo, this Ducks prospect (another 2016 first-rounder) is someone to keep an eye on for next season and beyond in dynasty and keeper competition. However, also like Nylander, the 21-year-old is currently earning a shot at top-line minutes for a non-contender, filling in at center between Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg while Ryan Getzlaf nurses an upper-body injury. Steel is yet another intriguing option for those interested in DFS action in GPP play.
Dylan DeMelo, Ottawa Senators (2.0 percent): I'll tell you what, there's nothing "bush league" about the recent effort from this 25-year-old defenseman in Ottawa. After laying low for most of the season, the former Shark has erupted for a goal and five assists in his past four games, including two points with the man advantage. He's also seeing mega-minutes, skating on the top-pair and with the Senators' secondary power play. At minimum, there's DFS value to mine from DeMelo in GPP play, as the Senators finish out the season.
Devon Toews, New York Islanders (1.7 percent): It's Toews -- and not Nick Leddy or Ryan Pulock -- who is anchoring the Islanders' top power play as the club jostles for position in the Metro down the stretch. As such, contending fantasy teams with blue-line holes to fill in deeper leagues might consider the 25-year-old rookie. With only a half-dozen games remaining, he could certainly fetch you a few precious special-teams points.
Mike Smith, Calgary Flames (35.5 percent): Calgary's crease seemingly belongs to Smith as the "Best in the West" looks to secure the top spot in the Pacific over the next few days. Winner of back-to-back impressive showings against the Senators and Canucks, the veteran goalie is projected to start again on Monday versus the Kings. That adds up to three straight games on the bench for David Rittich. Furthermore, Calgary's remaining schedule features five of seven contests against non-playoff teams. This club wants nothing more than to storm into the postseason with Smith at his confident best. Any contending fantasy manager might give that some thought.
Lowered expectations
Kris Letang, D, Pittsburgh Penguins (99.1 percent): His latest upper-body issue, be it related to his recent injury or something brand new, is concerning. After skating for only three games following a near month-long absence, Letang is now listed as day-to-day. Eyeing a successful run in the playoffs, the Penguins are likely to play it conservative in regard to their top offensive-defenseman. There's no chance they'll bring him back until he's fully fit.
Also saddled with that day-to-day tag, the following fantasy candidates also merit monitoring as the regular season draws to a close: Mikko Rantanen, Colorado Avalanche; Joe Pavelski, San Jose Sharks; Max Pacioretty, Vegas Golden Knights; Zach Parise, Minnesota Wild.

CHEEC awards FY19 seed grants for environmental research
CHEEC awards FY19 seed grants for environmental research
May 20, 2019
The University of Iowa Center for Health Effects of Environmental Contamination (CHEEC) has awarded $80,000 in seed grants to researchers at the University of Iowa. Awarded projects will study the effects of pyrethroid insecticides on fetal growth and development, and pesticides on thyroid function.
CHEEC supports and conducts environmental health research relating to environmental toxins. Its mission is 'to determine the levels of environmental contamination which can be specifically associated with human health effects".
CHEEC seed grants are intended for pilot studies that stimulate the growth and development of innovative lines of environmental health research. The program seeks to fulfill the education and research missions of Iowa colleges and universities by promoting the involvement of students in research activities.
Role of the Placenta in Cypermethrin-Induced Disruption of Fetal Growth and Neurodevelopment
Benjamin Elser, doctoral student in the Human Toxicology program; Hanna Stevens, associate professor of psychiatry; and Hans-Joachim Lehmler, professor of occupational and environmental health at the UI.
Researchers at the UI will investigate the effects of pyrethroid insecticides on placental growth and function. Concentrations of the insecticides will be measured in maternal, placental, and fetal tissue. The data collected will be used to better understand the mechanisms by which pyrethroid insecticides alter fetal growth and neurodevelopment as well as any adverse health effects associated.
Pesticide exposure among Iowa Agricultural Health Study participants and measures of thyroid function in their offspring
Paul Romitti, professor in the College of Public Health; Jonathan Suhl, postdoctoral research scholar; Charles Lynch, professor of biostatistics in the College of Public Health; Kristin Conway, associate research scientist; Val Sheffield, professor of pediatrics in the Carver College of Medicine; Stanton Berberich of the State Hygienic Laboratory (SHL); Travis Henry of SHL; Laura Beane Freeman, senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute; and Dale Sandler, senior investigator at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Researchers at the UI will study the relations between parental exposures to pesticides and the presence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in their offspring. The study will use data obtained by the Iowa Agricultural Health Study and the Iowa Newborn Screening (NBS) and will attempt to provide insight into the role of environmental factors on newborn thyroid development.
Since 1989, CHEEC has awarded $3.4 million for seed grant research. This investment has attracted more than $28 million in external funding for additional research. Seed grant funding provides hands-on learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, enhancing their educational experience and preparing them for their professional lives.
For more information, visit https://cheec.uiowa.edu or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
CHEEC is part of the University of Iowa Office of the Vice President for Research, which provides researchers and scholars with resources, guidance, and inspiration to secure funding, collaborate, innovate, and forge frontiers of discovery that benefit everyone. More at http://research.uiowa.edu, and on Twitter: @DaretoDiscover.

It is popularly believed that absolute links provide the best value when it comes to SEO. They have less risk of getting messed up when they are being indexed, and they don't provide the same risks that relative inks do when it comes to endangering your domain.
With that being said, we take a proper look into the absolute and relative links and see how they perform when it comes to SEO:
Neutralizing Scrapers
If you make use of relative links, scrapers can easily come in ad scrape your website, slap on a new domain name and create new website on the back of you work. With absolute links, scrapers can't do that. Absolute links have an additional complex that provides protection to your website.
Helping to Ignore Duplicate Content
One of the most significant advantages of using absolute links is that it minimizes any issues that are related to duplicate content. Essentially, absolute links ensure that Google doesn't need to decode between various URLs on your website to ensure that they get the original content. The biggest issue with relative links, however, is that in most cases, they're not set up properly to diet to the original URL.
Then this happens, there become various live domains for your website. Absolute links will help to clarify where Google should be investigating. While the may be benefits on the development site by using relative links, there are also risks to your website and business.
Crawling Assistance
Google crawlers follow the internal links found on webpages to crawl for more associated pages. There is a limited number of URLs that these people crawl. This means that if Google comes across your website and you have a lot of pages, it is more likely to leave that site.
With absolute links, Google is actually able to streamline this crawling process. However, apart from saving time, it will help ensure that the crawlers are encouraged to come back and crawl more pages, which will go on to strengthen SEO efforts.

The company-operator of the network of railways intends to launch trains on some city routes, which will run without the help of machinists. It is planned that the Thameslink line, which passes through central London, will become a platform for testing autonomous trains that will accelerate and brake more efficiently than drivers do. This will ensure a time interval of 2.5 minutes between the departure and arrival of trains, as in the metro.
It is also expected that the innovative technical solution will improve the quality of passenger transportation services by 60%. In order to avoid incidents, a person responsible for monitoring the opening and closing of doors and observing the order while driving will stay in the driver's cab.

Wat Pakor Wang near Wiang Sa
The Wat Pakor Wang near Wiang Sa is located in a teakwood forest and is really a totally different experience as any of the other temples you might have seen. Even if you are not religious then it is great place to reflect your own thoughts. The temple itself and the surroundings are very different as normal temples.
When to go to the Wat Pakor Wang?All year around, daily, from 8:00 - 17:00, entrance is free.
Where to go?The Wat Pakor Wang is about 10km south from Nan town.
How to go there?With you own transport follow route 101 to Wiang Sa, after about 10km make a u-turn and after 500m take a small road to the left. There are signs for the temple. Follow this road for another 800m.
By public transport take the bus to Wiang Sai and get off at the road to the temple (show the name to the bus driver). Be careful to cross the road and walk the last 800m.

Five-story apartment building proposed for corner of Bedford, West Washington. (Capital Times, 5/4/2018)
Brendan Baxter, vice president of Kayser Automotive Group, is proposing to tear down the current two-story building at 555 West Washington Ave. on the corner of Bedford Street and to build a 44-unit apartment complex.
"We're really trying to re-establish that historic residential Bassett neighborhood," Baxter said.
The proposed development site has a historic connection to Baxter's family business. In the early 1940s, the site was a car dealership.
Next step: Madison Urban Design Commission review on May 23.

I always wondered about crawfish color. It seems we see a lot of orange clawed craws in fish gullets, regurgitated during a fight with a smallmouth bass. Fish attempts to regurgitate hook in its mouth by emptying contents of its stomach.
I have never seen an orange crawfish in the water in Indiana. Craws come in many colors.
I got to thinking how shrimp turn orange after you cook them. They are typically gray and then change color. A nice doneness test when cooking! Could it be fish's stomach acid 'cooking' the craws like we do in our pots?
Which crawdad species have you seen?

It's always great when we get letters from our customers thanking us for the work we've done for them, and this week we were delighted to hear from Chris and Anne Dunn, who live near Stafford.
Mr and Mrs Dunn first approached us in October 2014 when they were researching ways in which they could get more use from their swimming pool and maximise their investment in it. Like many pool owners, they loved using their pool, but were frustrated at not being able to use it when the weather is poor, or during the colder months when it was out of action completely.
An enclosure was their choice of solution to these issues. After a number of initial consultations with us, and a visit to their home to inspect their pool and surrounding area, Chris and Anne opted to install one of our popular VISIO static enclosures as they felt the Summit Leisure product was far superior to others they'd looked at on the market. Key to awarding the project to Summit Leisure was our ability to manufacture a completely bespoke and complex building which incorporated retaining walls they had on two sides of the pool, in order to minimise the area of patio space that would be lost to the building's structure. One of the retaining walls was a particular challenge as it stepped down in two places from its highest point.
Extremely precise measurements had to be taken prior to manufacture, and equally precise tolerances had to be worked to when the building was fabricated in our factory in order to ensure a totally sealed building over the Dunns' lovely pool with roman end feature.
The above pictures show the pool before the arrival of our team on site. The VISIO static enclosure specified is coloured anthracite, as per Mr and Mrs Dunn's wishes. In good weather, the roof slides open to provide 50% of the roof space for open air swimming. As with all Summit Leisure's enclosures this was a marine grade powder coated high quality aluminium frame, with toughened safety glass on all end and side walls. The roof is in UV stabilised polycarbonate, inside and out.
When the constituent parts of the unit arrived on site for assembly and installation, it proved quite a challenge and some components needed to be finished on site to ensure a perfect fit and weather-tight seal, as is sometimes the case when incorporating a building into existing structures. The build was completed within 5 days from arrival on site. Afterwards, Mr Dunn kindly put pen to paper (or should that be finger to keyboard?) to pass on his thoughts on the finished product and the workmanship of our highly trained and skilled installation teams, writing…
"Just a short note to say that Anne and I are very pleased with our swimming pool enclosure and hopefully we will now get a lot more use out of our pool. It is an excellent design with the opening roof system and substantial construction. Designing the unit to fit on top of the wall makes it look very stylish. We would also like to say that Andy, Gareth, Thierry and their team have done an absolutely brilliant job of building the unit on a sometimes challenging build."
Similarly, we'd equally like to thank Mr & Mrs Dunn for choosing a VISIO enclosure from Summit Leisure, for giving us such a challenging but interesting and rewarding project to work on, and the satisfaction of knowing they'll be putting their pool to much more use than before which is, at the end of the day, the whole reason for having it.

Moonves Defiant at Communacopia
CBS Corp. president Leslie Moonves was in a feisty mood this morning at Communacopia, the Goldman Sachs media conference at the Grand Hyatt in New York. Not two minutes after stepping onstage, he took issue with host Anthony Noto's prediction of modest growth for CBS Corp. "You're being a little bit pessimistic," said Moonves. When Noto joked that he should've worn protective headgear for the interview, Moonves shot back, "You have to allow me to take a few shots, because you've taken a few over the years."
Moonves was also vocal about retransmission, repeatedly declaring that CBS "will get paid for our content."
Regarding the new season, Moonves says he likes Shark best among the CBS rookies, calling James Woods "eminently watchable." He also crowed about CSI: Miami besting Studio 60 in ratings last night, and touted the return of six out of eight rookie shows from last year. "If you bat .300, you're an all-star," said Moonves. "Having six out of eight return, we're in the Hall of Fame."
He also made light of numbers showing CBS to be down in the 18-49 demo. "We're the old fogie network," said Moonves. "We do not bow to the 18-49 God like some of our competitors." Mentioning the average age of a 60 Minutes viewer being 60, he added, "We don't give a damn about demographics."
Notably, recently dismissed Viacom CEO Tom Freston didn't merit a mention in the 40-minute chat.

VANS – We serve the Swiss market for over 15 years and have built up a large customer base, across all distribution channels. In this time we've gained a lot of experience in sales, distribution and marketing. Now we've more than 400 doors across the whole country which selling Vans products. Our strength is a strong relationship with customers, buyers, riders and owners. Our company is well connected with the Action Sport, Lifestyle and Mainstream business.
The Brand:
Vans is a sneaker manufacturer based in Southern California. The brand primarily makes skateboarding shoes and other types of sneakers catering towards the extreme sports youth set.
Vans was founded by Paul Van Doren. Van Doren, born in 1930, grew up in the Boston Area. At 14 he decided that school wasn't really for him. His mother forced him into getting him a job making shoes and sweeping the factory floor at the company she worked for, Randy's (a one-time Boston based shoe manufacturer).
Starting at the bottom, Paul worked his way up the ladder and eventually became Executive Vice President of Randy's after 20 years. Randy's had become the third largest manufacturer of shoes in the United States. The company had a factory in Gardenvale, California that was losing almost a million dollars per month. Paul Van Doren, his brother Jim Van Doren and long time friend Gordon Lee were given the task of straightening out the factory. It took them only 8 months to turn the Gardenvale factory around, resulting in that factory performing even better than Randy's main headquarters in Boston.
After saving the Randy's plant in California, Paul decided he would take on the challenge of starting a new sneaker brand. He partnered with his brother Jim and long-time business associate Serge D'Elia. All three moved their families to Southern California and setup operation in Anaheim. It took almost a year to put together the self-reliant factory and on March 15, 1966 the Van Doren Rubber Company sneaker line began producing their unique shoes.
Vans shoes were originally made right in the store. The brand took custom orders and had them ready for pick-up within a few days. The original Vans were designed with a diamond tread but this proved to not be good for longevity so the brand added vertical lines in the tread to increase strength, friction and grip. The tread was then officially named the "waffle-sole."
1995 marked the official end of Vans being manufactured in the U.S. The company now off shores their manufacturing to factories primarily in Asia.
Vans works heavily in the surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, urban and punk markets. They also market additional items such as clothing and skateboarding accessories.

Talking about Hesitation Marks has been a long time in coming for me. I actually got to see NIN on this tour long before I gave the whole of the new album a listen to.
I have been a fan of NIN since the days of Pretty Hate Machine, sitting in my friends room in his parents basement, playing the Battletech card game. I also have a very fond memory of playing that album while playing an old video game where you fly a souped up B-52 Bomber that ruled the skies.
I can also not so fondly remember when the NIN cds that I traded a very nice comic book shirt for and then having someone that I thought was my friend, steal those very cds.
So, NIN has a place in my past, it makes NIN nostalgic with every one of their albums after that one.
With all that time I've spent with Nine Inch Nails and building this all up, you might think I'm going to communicate that the new album was a big let down. Well…
I actually really enjoyed this album!! Its got the haunting slower melodies that I love from old albums. Memorable dancier songs like Came Back Haunted and Copy of A really make me move, even as I drive to work in my car.
Listening to this album from start to finish is a great, contiguous experience that makes this album one that might be added to the memory train. I think if I listen to the whole thing on its own one more time, I will find it forever associated in my mind with the things that make my life what it is today.

Virtual private networks are not only used in Kenya or Uganda but many individuals, companies, agencies and organisations use them for their own reasons across the world both on mobile and PC including Android, iOS, Tablets and computers.
Reports coming in from Uganda by the different media channels show that ever since the Government introduced the new OTT service Tax (Social media tax), many internet users resorted to VPN usage as a way of continuing to access their favorite social networking sites including Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram and others which fall in the same category, and one must be the tax before allowed to surf the Internet.

Time flies.
My little K is now a big girl. Over 3 years of age masha allah. potty trained. capable of proper conversations over manicure sessions.
and now also big enough for school alhamdulilah.
we did not look around too much for the school. all we needed was a preschool that will be good enough to prepare for a local school.
we started looking online for preschools. our criteria was simple:
1. river valley road so that pick and drop will be easy.
2. local singaporean management so that K will study in 'local'environment rather than international so that it will be easy for her to adjust in primary school
3. fees. ofcourse.
after spending few days on phone and internet we finalized 3 preschools to visit and after visiting all 3 of them we finally chose Little Skoolhouse International for the following reasons:
1. friendly principal
2. owned by ntuc
3. fees is not too low but not too high as well
4. teachers seemed friendly and caring
5. children looked happy and well taken care of
so we are now done with registration. K's uniform should be with us in a few days. we just need to buy a water bottle, a school bag and a small towel. and oh yea i need to order name tags.
because the countdown has begun already 🙂
K will go to school
Time flies.

Below are a selection of cultural attractions and events in the Kranjska Gora area and beyond.
To the south of Rateče the picturesque glacial valley of Planica extends 7km into the Julian Alps with the valley most famous for its rich ski jumping traditions. Synonymous with the sport, Planica is, home to the world's highest ski jumping centre and site of many world record setting jumps. The first ski jump was constructed before 1930 with a larger hill being constructed in 1934. In its day, the second hill was the biggest jumping hill in the world. In 1936 the first jump over 100m was achieved. Since then many world records have been set and broken, with the hill record standing at 239m. Over the years development has continued and work on the biggest jumping hill in the world is now under way, with renovation work on the older hills already complete. The annual world cup event held at Planica is one of the biggest events on the Slovenian sporting calendar and an important cultural event attracting up to 100,000 visitors.
