18 May Australians go to the polls on May 18, and for the fourth election in a row, internal party politics has produced a change of Prime Minister mid-term. Will the 2019 election restore stability to the nation's top job, or will the revolving door continue?
20 October After being deposed as Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull has resigned as member for Wentworth. The loss of Mr Turnbull's personal vote will create a tricky by-election for the Liberal Party.
28 July Another High Court decision on citizenship has triggered by-elections in the seats of Braddon (TAS), Fremantle (WA), Longman (QLD) and Mayo (SA), with a fifth caused by resignation to be held in Perth (WA) the same day.

[HISTORY: Adopted by the Commissioners (now Mayor and Council) of the Town of Leonardtown 8-1-1964 by Ord. No. 29. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No person shall, without a written permit issued by the Commissioners,[1] tamper with, open, close or use any fire hydrant located within the corporate limits of Leonardtown or owned by the Commissioners or installed upon any water main through which water furnished by the Commissioners of Leonardtown flows.
Editor's Note: Pursuant to the 1989 Charter, the Commissioners of Leonardtown are now the Mayor and Council of the Town of Leonardtown.
The written permit required by this chapter shall be obtained from the Clerk, Treasurer or other duly authorized official or employee of the Commissioners of Leonardtown and may be issued at the discretion of said Commissioners. Such permit shall specify the duration of time during which it shall be in effect and the rate per gallon to be paid by the holder thereof for water drawn from such hydrants. Water drawn under the terms of any such permit shall be measured by a duly appointed agent of said Commissioners and shall be only drawn from such hydrants in the presence of such agent.

Some people find that their blood pressure is normal at home, but rises slightly when they're at the doctor.
New research suggests that the spike may not just be a temporary and harmless occurrence but point to more serious issues, according to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers at the Autonomous University of Madrid followed nearly 64,000 people over five years to examine the association of blood pressure measured in a clinic versus portable 24-hour ambulatory pressure monitoring that gives readings over regular intervals.
Investigators found that people who experienced the white-coat effect had double the chances of dying compared to patients whose blood pressure was normal when taken at the doctor's office and at home, NBC News reported.
Blood pressure readings have two numbers. Normal blood pressure, according to the American Heart Association, is 120 over 80. The top number is systolic blood pressure — the highest pressure when your heart beats and pushes blood around the body. The bottom one is diastolic blood pressure — the lowest pressure when the heart rests between beats.
"White-coat hypertension was not benign, and masked hypertension was associated with a greater risk of death than sustained hypertension," researchers concluded.
Haitham Ahmed, medical director of cardiac rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic, concurred. "If seeing a white coat increases your blood pressure," he told NBC, "a lot of other stressors in life are expected to as well."

Core Features Every Webmaster Should Know When Looking at Different Web Hosting Packages
Every webmaster knows how important a web hosting service is because, without it, their websites will all be for nothing since it won't be accessible online.
That being said, shared hosting has become quite a popular option to take nowadays simply because it is affordable and it comes feature-rich at an inexpensive price.
However, it might be hard for one to choose the best one based on their needs, so today, I am going to discuss some core features that every webmaster should know when looking at different web hosting packages.
Keep in mind that this article is only restricted to shared web hosting based on web servers running the Linux operating system. Without further ado, let's get started with the discussion!
Control Panel
The control panel is basically the main interface of your web hosting account. It gives you plenty of information about your website, including key performance metrics, key features such as emails, data that comes to and from your website, and a host of other things.
The cPanel is the most common one out there and it provides the right information that every webmaster needs to know about the websites they're running.
This is another important thing to look at. Bandwidth is essentially how much data goes in and out of your website. Of course, there are unlimited packages out there, but you may fork additional money that would just go to waste if you're not actually eating a whole lot of it per month.
Instead of getting unlimited bandwidth plans, you can save more money by looking at the control panel and see how much traffic you're getting per month. Get the average and then get the plan that suits your needs.
Disk Storage
If you are going to upload a lot of images, documents, and just about any file on the web server, you're going to want to have a web hosting service that provides you with ample storage data.
Typically, you can get 200GB of storage allocation from some cheap hosting services out there. But, you still want to have some quality, so be sure to look at the reviews and see if the service provider deserves some of your hard-earned money.
Script Installation
Webmasters who employ certain aspects on their website like the creation of a blog or perhaps adding a forum section on their webpage know that in order for them to do those things, they will need to install and run some scripts.
This is a very tedious process if you have to do it manually, so be sure to find a hosting service that allows for automatic script installation.
Reliable Service Uptime
Last but definitely not the lease, you want to get a shared web hosting service that guarantees considerable and lengthy server uptime.
In fact, you want to get a web hosting provider that gives you the ability to run your website 99.99% of the time- with that 0.01 allotted for server maintenance.

It's time to de-stress by putting down your phone and getting on your bike to go for a ride around Perth.
Follow our guide to cycling around Perth in perfect spring weather. Ride around the river banks & along the beach paths, building up to longer rides & mountain bike trails in the picturesque Swan Valley & Perth Hills.
On 22 November, Go for a Ride Day is designed to inspire us all to get moving. The origin of the special day is unclear, but the timing is perfect for Australians wanting to soak up the fresh spring air and tone up in time for summer. While the idea of Go for a Ride Day is simply to get out and about by taking any kind of ride - car, bike, horseback, kayak or even Segway - our guide zooms in on Perth's bike trails.
Cycling is one of the best forms of exercise that has the added benefit of letting you breathe in the sea or country air and watch the world go past at the same time. And Perth is the perfect place to do it. So dust off your bikes, or hire them from one of several outlets, and go for an invigorating ride before it gets too hot to do anything but swim.
Where Are Perth's Best Bike Trails?
Perth is riddled with bike paths for all abilities. A ride around Rottnest Island's beautiful bays, along Perth's beach paths or a short section of the Swan River are ideal starters to rebuild fitness or for the young and inexperienced.
Once you're feeling energised, tackle a longer ride, such as the picturesque Swan Valley Heritage Cycle Trail, which is still graded as easy. From here, several trails of various grades will help you build up to some exhilarating mountain bike riding in the Perth Hills.
Go for a Ride around the Rivers
The banks of the Swan and Canning River waterways seem endless, taking you to panoramic lookouts, through parks and reserves, past riverfront mansions, and right along the city waterfront.
Ride Around the Rivers is a collection of trails and loops, allowing you to select anything from a short 10 minute section right up to a full 50km riding along Perth's picturesque river banks. The further you go, the greater your chance of spotting dolphins along the way. You'll also find plenty of cafes, places to relax and photo opportunities.
Download a map from the Department of Transport and set off to the Causeway car park on Riverside Drive to select your bicycles from About Bike Hire. The Narrows Bridge, 3km south along the river, allows you to loop back through the parks of South Perth, the bike path taking you north again to the Causeway - an easy ride for kids.
Alternatively, keep cycling past the base of Kings Park on Mount Eliza, along Matilda Bay and on to the tranquil riverside suburbs and yacht clubs. The path starts to get a little bit hilly at times here, and there are some sections where you'll have to ride along the road, which can get a bit confusing; let your map guide you. When you reach Mosman Bay, take a break at lookout points near Mosmans Restaurant and Chidley Point.
After crossing the Stirling Bridge at North Fremantle, the trail takes you to Blackwall Reach and Point Walter Reserve. This is where you begin to feel as if you're no longer in a city - a great place to stop for a picnic and a dip in the river.
From here, views across from the bike trail to Perth City open up as you head through more reserves and on to Point Heathcote lookout. Cruise past the South of Perth Yacht Club and Raffles Hotel to cross Canning Bridge and start heading north again into South Perth. Cross the Narrows Bridge, and you're back to the start.
Reward yourselves with a good feed at The Point Bar and Grill overlooking the river right next to the car park.
Go for a Ride along the Beaches
Riding along the Perth coastline is an invigorating gift of fresh air and freedom. You can start at almost any point as the walk and bike paths run right along the beaches. The Department of Transport maps are at the following links: Sunset Coast Northern and Sunset Coast Southern.
There's a great bike hire place in South Fremantle, South Beach Cycles, and Spinway has a series of automated bike hire terminals at various locations around Perth, including Fremantle, North Fremantle and Scarborough.
Burns Beach to Marmion, or vice versa, is a popular section of the Perth beaches bike trail, with signage telling you about the local flora and fauna. The trail takes you past Sorrento Quay and Hillarys Boat Harbour - the perfect place to stop for refreshments - and on to Marmion Marine Park.
South of Marmion, continue on to Mettams Pool at North Beach. Kids will love splashing around in the rock pools and snorkelling at Mettams, and there are more great cafes along the North Beach strip and into Trigg.
Scarborough is next, with its new waterfront development, including the Olympic size outdoor pool. If you can haul yourselves out of the water, it's worth continuing south to the beautiful green City Beach reserves and an oceanfront cafe restaurant for lunch. For families, The Kiosk at Floreat is perfect, or check out Odyssea and Hamptons at City Beach itself.
The southern stretches of Perth's beach bike path continue by winding through Swanbourne to the iconic Indiana Cottesloe Beach, where you can find even more ways to fill up on great food or just rehydrate. There are great oceanfront cafes along Marine Parade too, and of course you must have a quick dip at one of Australia's most famous beaches.
The final stretch brings you to Fremantle, trailing around to Fishing Boat Harbour (yet more fantastic eateries) and on down to South Beach for your last string of cafes and sheltered swimming.
Go for a Ride through the Swan Valley
Treat yourselves to some revitalising bike riding around Perth's delightful Swan Valley wine region. Cycling from winery to gift shop to art gallery to gourmet food outlet is a wonderful way to indulge while getting fit all at once.
The 30km Swan Valley Heritage Cycle Trail follows West Swan Road from Guildford, on a path shared with walkers, and is graded as easy. Interpretive signs enrich the journey with stories of historical characters who have helped to shape the region.
Allow a full day trip from Perth for this bike trail. While it can be completed in half a day, you'll be stopping continually at the Valley's famous fresh produce stalls, or to browse shops selling local crafts and snack on cheeses or freshly baked treats. There are plenty of cellar doors and breweries too, but take care - bikes can be wobbly!
Make sure you stop at the fabulous Mandoon Estate for lunch, complete with cellar door, brewery, art gallery and playground in beautifully kept grounds on the banks of the Swan. You'll also pass Providore gourmet food store, Margaret River Chocolate Co and Windarra Honey - all impossible to resist.
Maps are available from TrailsWA.com.au or the Swan Valley Visitor Centre, located at the start of the trail. Note that this isn't a loop trail, so you'll need to either ride back or park cars with bike racks at each end.
Spinway has a bike hire terminal near Jarrah Ridge Wines, or to get to the bike trail from Perth, hire bicycles in the city and transport them by rail to Guildford. Go for a ride around the town itself before you set off to explore the grand and picturesque 19th century buildings of one of WA's oldest settlements.
Go for a Ride in the Perth Hills
When you're ready to take on something slightly more challenging, there are several bike trails in the Perth Hills of various kinds from short and easy to bum-numbingly long. Start at Munda Biddi Mountain Bike Hire in Helena Valley.
The most famous mountain bike trail in Perth is the Munda Biddi, which meanders all the way from Mundaring all the way to Albany on the south coast. While 1,000km might be a bit much to take on just yet, the trail can be tackled in short easy sections, without leaving the Perth Hills. This is a fun experience for cyclists of all ages who are new to mountain biking.
Other easy bush tracks are the 41km Railway Reserve Heritage Trail loop and the 75km Kep Track, also popular with walkers and horse-riders. Both trails follow old railway lines with scenic views and are ideal if you want to go for a ride on a rougher surface before taking on more challenging mountain bike routes.
A slightly more difficult but exhilarating loop, great for learners, is Forsyths Mill, 11km east of Mundaring. This is where you get into real mountain biking, with obstacles, sharp turns and log ramps. The track has a shorter loop for beginners too.
Experienced mountain bikers will want to go for a ride near Kalamunda, where a network of trails include some very challenging experiences. With the Camakazi Trail being one of the more moderate, you get the picture. One of the most difficult is the Lancaster - not for the faint-hearted!
Both Mundaring and Kalamunda are lovely little towns with cafes to refuel and relax. Visit Mundaring Visitor Centre or the Perth Hills Visitor Centre in Kalamunda for more information on the region.
Other Places to Go for a Ride
There are some excellent forest rides in the Peel Region, especially around Jarrahdale and Dwellingup. Langford Park in Jarrahdale is especially popular for all mountain biking abilities, located in a pretty area with wineries and cafes around to help you make a day of it. Turner Hill between Pinjarra and Dwellingup also comes highly recommended as an enjoyable mountain bike ride for the whole family, with some challenges.
Kings Park provides some easy bike paths in Perth for young learners, with longer, hillier trails through the gorgeous bushy areas and manicured gardens for some great aerobic exercise and unbeatable views of the city. End your ride at Sticky Beaks cafe, which has a playground for small children, or Zamia Cafe at the spacious May Drive Parkland - ideal for larger groups and older kids. Click to find out why Kings Park Is the King of All Parks
Rottnest Island is so famous for its bike paths that it hardly needs a mention. Take your bikes across on the ferry or hire them when you arrive. The paths circle the island with some steep hilly sections - exhilarating when you're riding down them! Delightful sandy bays and lovely views help to distract you from your aching legs, and you'll end up feeling utterly refreshed. The island is a relatively safe place for kids to cycle around, as no vehicles are allowed.
Bike Tours
If you don't have a bike join a cycle tour - there are bike tours, mountain bike tours, motorcycle tours and even electric bike tours!

The Planetary Correcting Time
It is an "on course" correction such as correcting the course of a ship in transit to its destination. It is the correction of the very course of our planetary growth. We have been largely unaware of the true destiny of our voyage.
Our world had been isolated from her sister spheres and darkened by rebellion. We have been deceived and manipulated by rebel overlords who have now been brought to justice in Father's mercy. Now is the time for us to awaken to the Light of Life and set our eternal course to the Source and Center of all. We are now enabled to correct the social effects of the rebellion and the distorted teachings that have enslaved us in fear.
After more than 200,000 years in quarantine, we are reconnecting to our wonderful cosmic family and are receiving the support and assistance that is needed to correct our perspectives and to heal our social maladaptations. Now humanity is experiencing the flood of spiritual energies coming in like a high tide and raising all our ships.

Towards Balanced and Sustainable Growth Strategies for Post-Crisis Asia: A shifting Paradigm and Challenges
Edited by Masahiro Kawai, Eduardo Pedrosa, Tan Khee Giap and Grace Aw
The world is emerging from its worst economic downturn is living memory but this recovery is unevenly spread across the region and the world. Moreover, there is greater uncertainty over whether the time is right to consider fiscal and monetary consolidation after the intervention of 2009.
The challenge today is to exit from the extraordinary stimulus measures taken in response to the crisis and develop strategies for sustained growth in the years ahead. Balanced against this is a recognition that decisions made today in favour of an early exit may lead to an unncessarily long period of slow growth if not stagnation for the global economy. In response to the crisis the international community put emphasis on concerted action embodied in the institutionalization of the G20 process as the premier forum for international economic policy coordination. Across the world governments came together to develop a coherent response to the economic crisis rejecting protectionism and cooperating on fiscal and monetary measures to bolster demand. At this critical juncture it is vital that the sense of community, shared interest and concerted action be maintained.
This conference organized by the Singapore National Committee for PECC (SINCPEC) and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) brought together an eminent group of experts and policy-makers to consider some of the policy-options that the region's governments can consider as part of their tool-kits to achieve their objective of balanced, inclusive, sustained, innovative and strong growth.

Bodyfit trial - initial gappin/fix
Hi guys,
small progress today, did a bit of lining up and initial fixing of the rear boot extension so I could get an idea of the gapping/lines/fix of the rear clam body. Also fitted the side sills to allow an idea of that initially.
Generally ok, maybe a bit of massaging on the sill lines, but the lines do sit evenly when asked to do so. The front clam is a little outwards, something that may be able to be pulled in as there is a bit of flex, might have to be something to live with initially until maybe some adjustments on the bracket. It will need to be spacered in places to fit where I have photographed it. - Decent starting point though!

In: 2011 IEEE Symposium on New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN). IEEE, Piscataway, NJ, pp. 658-659.Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
Given the issues with incompatible systems and apparent shortage of Radio Frequency Spectrum, the ability of cognitive radio technologies to identify and operate on unused allocations with the correct communications and little user input has gained much interest. These demonstrations consist of components that may enable the use Dynamic Spectrum Access to emergency Communications; a Multichannel Spectrum Occupancy Monitor and a Cognitive Trunked Base Station.

Read This Sandy Hook Mom's Powerful Letter
Ana Márquez-Greene was six years old when she was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012. This Sunday, as her mother Nelba woke to news of the Orlando shooting, the memories, fear, and grief came rushing back to her. "My first reaction was visceral," Márquez-Greene wrote on the Facebook page dedicated in Ana's honor, in an open letter to Orlando victims' families, which quickly went viral. "I know the horror of waiting to hear ... I am reliving being one of the family members in wait."
But her motto, "love wins" ― which has motivated and inspired her work in compassionate community building across the country through The Ana Grace Project ― helped Márquez-Greene share her condolences and true sympathy with the families of the Orlando victims. The letter shows the astonishing power of compassion, which has become Márquez-Greene's life's work, and its ability to ease even the deepest pain. An bittersweet network of victims' families is coming together in the wake of this latest mass shooting, which highlighted the desperate need for compassion in this country.
I was sleeping in because we just got back from working in Canada. My friends came over for our scheduled morning walk. I didn't have my phone. I came home and my phone was buzzing like crazy. "Are you okay? "Where are you?" "I'm praying for you!" "I love you!"
I still didn't understand. I no longer have a personal Facebook and the TV wasn't on. I don't sign in to the news. I saw it on Twitter and watched the numbers rise in real time. First some dead, then multiple, then 20 and now 50.
My first reaction was visceral. I know the horror of waiting to hear. A helicopter flew overhead. It made everything too real. Too familiar. I panicked. I called my friend. I cried. Fifty people. I am reliving being one of the family members in wait.
And then she told me. An attack against people who are gay. A specific group. Just like last year around this time. The 17th of June. A Black church. My head is spinning.
"I can't go to Wisconsin."
I am tired. I just got back from Canada. And tomorrow is Wisconsin but now I am scared. I want to crawl up in a fetal position on the sofa and watch Harry Potter movies with my son. Perhaps I will build a bullet proof barrier around my house and just order groceries from Peapod all summer. Or for the rest of our lives.
But my message was and is and always will be "love wins." And this is why I must go to Wisconsin. How do I tell my son that fifty people all died the way his sister did? And in one of our favorite places: Orlando, Florida.
I am waiting for the church to be as outraged about gun violence as much as we seem to be about who pees where in a Target bathroom.
I have one message for those families in Florida:
I am sorry. I am so, so sorry. I am sorry that our tragedy here in Sandy Hook wasn't enough to save your loved ones. I tried and I won't stop trying. Don't you dare even listen to even ONE person who may insinuate that somehow this is your loved ones' fault because they were gay or any other reason. Nor is it God's wrath.
They did that to us on Sandy Hook too. And it broke my heart. You will receive love from a million places. Embrace it. Take good care of yourself. This will be a forever journey. Some ugly will come your way too. Delete. Ignore. Let it go.
Your loss today will bring out the worst AND the best in all of us. May we commit to being our best selves in honor of what you now bear.
I am going to Wisconsin to spread the message that love wins. In honor of your loved ones. Because hate, ugly, evil and prejudice cannot silence love, courage, good.
I don't know what to tell my son. But know I will commit to learning about each and every one of your loved ones. And we will commit as a family to learning about their lives and the legacies you build in their memory. But I am so sorry. Because you shouldn't have to be doing this. You should be planning summer outings to the beach and barbecues and birthdays and graduations. And I know it will never be the same.
My son will learn about your loved ones. And we will not forget. We will say their names out loud. We will remember your children. As you remembered and learned about ours.
And dear friends with generous hearts — please WAIT to donate until you know for sure that your hard earned dollars will be received by VICTIMS... and not by individuals, groups and organizations designed to benefit from tragedies. America's mass shootings should not be the United Way's pay day or a specific town's funding source to build a senior center. Millions were poured in to Sandy Hook. Very little actually reached us. And victims of gun violence will have a lifetime of need. Before you give — ask where your dollars will go. Specify that you want it to go to victim families.
Friends — you are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution. Victims cannot bear the burden of this alone. Please help.
Bring up gun violence in your house of worship and/or community group. Join Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America or any other group like it that speaks to you.
And if someone is hurting you or bullying you because you are gay — please visit The Trevor Project or www.itgetsbetter.org
If you know someone who shows extreme hate of a group or individual, has access to weapons and you feel there is inherent risk of harm — please call your local police immediately. Let's be more than bystanders. Let's save lives.
From Sandy Hook. From Ana and Isaiah's mom and dad.
We love you. We are so very heartbroken.

Malta is a popular destination for children to learn English. Children learn languages quickly and seemingly effortlessly and parents are keen to provide them with holidays which will allow learning English to take place. An English Course for Children in Malta offers parents the ideal solution.
English language schools which are situated all over the island, offer a range of course options to children visiting Malta with and without their families. Some schools offer just General English Courses for Children which allows them the rest of the day to explore Malta and relax with their families. Other schools also cater for young students traveling to Malta by themselves. The easiest way to ensure safety for kids and teens, is to keep them busy!
The schools provide full programmes of activities for young students which not only keeps them busy but also encourages them to speak English and interact with students of other nationalities throughout the day. With today's technology, these friendships are maintained after the students return home and provide them with a continuing need to use English outside the classroom.

Starting today, we would like to invite all those interested to create the program for the very first re:publica with us, taking place in Dublin on October 20, 2016. Our Call for Participation is divided into three deadline phases, the last of which ends on August 31, 2016.
What makes re:publica such a unique festival is the active participation of participants, speakers and activists like you. And the most important part of compiling the program is our annual Call for Participation. For the Irish edition of re:publica, everyone interested now has the opportunity to submit exciting debates, ideas, talks, projects, discussion panels, art performances or workshops, and actively participate in the making of the program for Dublin. Imagination knows no limits, after all, and the openness and diversity of topics is one of the hallmarks of re:publica! As before, our topics range from work and education, health and mobility, to media, politics, science and business – all aspects of social life have their place at re:publica.
What we'd like to see
The main focus of the conference, as always, is on net politics: Current political developments are illuminated, debated and scrutinized by experts from the digital sphere. Other areas of policy, be it European politics (Hashtag #Brexit), or urban development and sustainability (e.g. water and housing issues in Dublin), are also relevant for our Call for Participation. Furthermore re:publica comprises a lively display of various aspects of digital society, such as pop and hacker culture, inclusion, hate speech on the Internet, the Maker movement, or Social Media Marketing: every exciting, remarkable or surprising net topic is welcome here.
re:publica aims to present the opportunities and benefits of new technologies in various areas of society, while simultaneously taking a critical look behind the scenes. There is more to it than just a display of the latest technological developments, it's about evaluating them in the long term and making suggestions for the future.
The Call for Participation for re:publica Dublin has started as of now and is divided into three stages. That means the sooner you apply, the sooner you can expect feedback on your submission. Anyone proposing a topic until August 4, 2016, will be in the first round right away. The second deadline is on August 17, 2016, and the third and final deadline on August 31, 2016.
re:publica in Dublin
re:publica is expanding: We would like to internationalize our community even more, and make the concept known way beyond Berlin – in the end, net politics and digital rights issues concern all of us! We have already been working with different companies in Dublin for that purpose, and have an established network there. Berlin and Dublin have a lot in common! That's what we want to highlight, as a glimpse of where we might be heading in the future.
Of course, the first re:publica event abroad will be bit smaller than in Berlin. That's why there is a more condensed program of re:publica's core topics planned for the Dublin event on October 20, so that visitors in Ireland get an impression of what digital society means for us and the re:publica community.
re:publica is not just a conference – it's a network, and an attitude! That's why everyone interested is hereby invited to take part in our Call for Participation. Join in, and find out more here:
If it's your first time answering our Call for Participation you can register for an account. If you already participated in our Calls in the past, you already have a speaker account. Then you just need to "Log in" and register for the new event "re:publica Dublin 2016" within your User Dashboard on the top right. Good Luck!
Do you have any questions? Maybe our FAQ can help you – otherwise you can reach out to our programme team: programme (at) re-publica (dot) de. Let's go!

Mongolia – The Gobi Desert – Part 1
September 2015
We spent 10 days in the Gobi Desert, driving around in a 4WD Mitsubishi, rather than one of the ubiquitous, and quite uncomfortable, Russian vans. Through Stepperiders we were able to travel with Hishka and Abbo, our Mongolian driver and guide. We rendezvoused at the Ger Camp and started our drive after lunch. Within a very short time we had left the cracked asphalt and were not to see a paved road again until the 9th day of the trek. The first night we camped at Baga Gazariin Chuluu, "stone of the little place", the dead end of a rocky canyon near the Delgeriin Choriin Khiid, one of the many Buddhist monasteries destroyed by Stalin in the 1930s. It was closed when we arrived at sunset, so we camped for the night then, after an incredible sunrise, returned the following morning.

UK Accident Management Services
Welcome to Road to Recovery. As an award-winning UK accident management company, we represent non-fault parties who've been involved in road traffic accidents. As well as best-in-sector claims management services we also provide excess protection and nationwide breakdown cover.
How can We Help You?
If you've suffered through another driver's carelessness then our range of accident management services will help put you back on the Road to Recovery…
Vehicle Recovery
Even if your vehicle starts after an accident, it's unlikely to be roadworthy. We've developed a nationwide network of local vehicle recovery operators who are able to come out to you quickly and get your vehicle moved to a safe place ASAP!
24/7 Incident Support
Road traffic accidents can happen day or night, so you need an accident management company that offers round-the-clock support. Luckily, here at RTR our carefully trained representatives are always available and are only ever a phone call away.
Uninsured Loss Recovery
Insurance only goes so far, and a no-fault RTA can leave you out of pocket for costly phone bills, damaged personal effects and even lost earnings. But don't count on your insurer for support – choose RTR and we'll ensure you're not left in the red!
Vehicle Storage
Following an accident, your vehicle should be stored safely, securely and at no cost to you. At RTR we take the stress of vehicle storage off of your shoulders, and take care of it ourselves as part of our comprehensive accident management services.
Vehicle Damage Assesment
Having an accurate and impartial vehicle damage assessment is a must after an accident. We'll ensure that your vehicle is inspected promptly and thoroughly by an independent professional who'll properly record all the damage inflicted during the accident.
Replacement Vehicles
Don't settle for bargain-basement wheels from your insurer when we can provide the like-for-like replacement you're entitled to! We have prestige marques, bikes, commercial vehicles, taxis, dual-control vehicles and far more available now!
Shouldn't I Leave This to My Insurer?
If you've been affected by a road traffic accident that wasn't your fault, you can't always count on your insurer to represent your best interests. The simple fact is that the insurers make their money from drivers who do pay their premiums – but don't make claims. So, even if you're the innocent party, the act of processing your claim is often seen as a 'hassle' your insurer would sooner do without!
At RTR we're not an insurer – we're an accident management company. As such, we act in the very best interests of our clients – the innocent motorists, just like you, who've suffered as a result of another driver's error.
Fleet Management
If your business operates a whole fleet of vehicles, then the chances of an accident are multiplied. If the worst happens, contact us and we'll save you the time and stress of picking up the pieces, meaning you can get on with running your business!
As a full-service UK accident management company, we can support you every step of the way from accident to recovery. That's because everything we offer is built around one guiding belief… If an accident wasn't your fault then you shouldn't be left worse off!
When you choose us, you're choosing the convenience of having the whole process handled by a professional team with a dedication to delivering best-in-sector accident management services. Our network of well-established industry contacts means we can handle your claim quickly and comprehensively – and we'll never lose sight of the one key fact…
As a no-fault party you have the legal right not to suffer for someone else's mistake!
With that in mind, we'll work tirelessly and leave no stone unturned to ensure you come away from a no-fault accident no worse off than you were before…
Can your insurer really say the same?
Personal Injury Representation
Accidents can damage us as well as our vehicles, and if you've suffered a personal injury it may affect many aspects of your life. At RTR we may pass on your details to a third-party solicitor to process your personal injury claim.
RTR – More than Just an Accident Management Company!
For most companies, offering best-in-sector accident management services would probably be enough. But here at RTR we like to offer even more to support UK motorists…
PAYG Breakdown Cover
We know that accidents aren't the only problem drivers face out on the UK's roads. Luckily, our innovative pay-as-you-go breakdown cover delivers peace of mind at a fraction of the price you'd pay for the bloated alternatives offered by certain 'big name providers'!
Motor Excess Protection
We've also spotted how hard the insurers are hitting unlucky drivers who have a bump… With excesses often topping £1,000 there's a whole lot of pain when you make a claim! Luckily, our motor insurance excess protection can take the sting out of your insurer's tail!
Contact Us
At RTR our number one aim is getting you back on the Road to Recovery! For the professional support you deserve call us today on 0300 303 3833, or fill out the form below.
what are you waiting for? call us 0300 303 3833

Trepucó Neolithic Site
One of Minorca's largest Bronze Age settlements
Prehistory just outside Maó
Located along the road just a couple of kilometres (a tad over a mile) outside Máo, Trepucó is one of Minorca's largest Bronze Age settlements, abandoned after being walloped during the Second Punic War (218-201 BC, then another one involving Hannibal). But many of the structures of its public and private buildings survive, as does a necropolis and Trepucó's taula (a vertical pillar topped with a massive horizontal stone and usually surrounded by a u-shaped wall) and a pair of talaiots (megaliths). A must for archaeology and history buffs.

Hi everyone,
I have recently performed some ChIP experiments and did qPCR for GAPDH promoter to check the specificity of the ChIP in RNA pol compared to IgG sample.
qPCR showed 2 fold enrichment of GAPDH promoter in RNA pol sample compared to IgG sample.
My specific question is; if 2 fold enrichment is acceptable or not? what is the threshold of that to consider a ChIP experiment specific enough to go for further steps of library prep and sequencing?
The specific TF which I am trying to do ChIP on, has no known target genes. So, there is no option for me to do qPCR on positive or negative binding regions of that gene to check the specificity.
I also did qPCR for GAPDH on the TF ChIPed DNA and the Ct value was near what I got for IgG sample. All these show that probably there is a specificity but the difference is quite low (only 2 fold). ( See the attached photo)
Can anyone help me in what is considered as the threshold for fold enrichment?

text: Once, you were the fastest rising star of the TNA iMPACT wrestling scene. You blew through some of the fiercest opponents; taking down AJ Styles, devastating Robert Roode, and everyone in your way, but then…everything changed. The politics behind the ring got heated, and not in your favor. When you finally claimed the title, someone came for you. And now you've woken up in what appears to be a rundown hospital in Mexico and you can't remember a thing. Lost and on your own, you need to get back to America. You hear talk of a local wrestling match where the winner goes on to wrestle at a nearby American Air Force base. This is the best shot you've got at getting home. But once you're in the ring, something strange happens. Your body seems to remember what your mind cannot. Punches, grapples, throws, and stomps all come naturally, as if you were a seasoned professional…This is where your journey begins. Find your way home, remember who you were, and claim what was rightfully yours.

Netflix's Ted Sarandos Opens Up About 'Arrested Development,' 'Fuller House' and Adam Sandler
Ted Sarandos got the TV industry's semi-annual press tour started Tuesday with a turn in the hot seat.
Netflix's Chief Content Officer used the platform at the Television Critics Association summer event to plug his service's remarkable growth, both in terms of original programming and cultural impact. Sarandos reminded the Beverly Hilton ballroom that in early 2013 his streaming service had just two shows, which he noted "was hardly enough to get [critics'] attention for very long." Two and a half years later, he's back on stage with 34 Emmy nominations and 475 hours of original fare to tout: 16 scripted dramas and comedies, 9 original documentaries, 3 documentary series, 12 comedy specials and 17 kids shows.
During his half hour or so before the press, he spoke openly about Netflix's greenlight philosophy — "something special for every taste" — and his continued desire to bet on talent and then get out of its way. (And yes, that includes Pixels punching-bag Adam Sandler, for whom Sarandos still staunchly supports.) Though the service's all at once roll-out strategy has been knocked in recent months, he said he remains bullish on the once "radical" approach. In fact, he noted that doing so had started a trend, adding to laughs: "Hashtag Aquarius or something like that."
From live sports to those pesky viewer metrics that he (still) won't share, here are the key takeaways.
About those Ratings
Though he stopped short of revealing any kind of hard viewer data, Sarandos insinuated that Orange is the New Black, House of Cards and Daredevil are the service's biggest original offerings. "You can feel it in the culture that [they're] getting a big broad audience," he said of the trio. Still, he once again stressed that Netflix's goal is not to reach all 65 million at once, but rather to target passionate subsets with each of its series. And if you could stop asking about ratings, he'd appreciate it.
In Defense of Sandler
Sandler may have had a (very) rough weekend — disappointing at the U.S. box office, and the subject of vicious takedowns in the media — but Sarandos, who made a four-film commitment to the star, remains a fierce supporter. "I definitely don't have to defend Adam Sandler. The movie did $24 million domestically, $25 million internationally, and a third of our subscribers are outside of the U.S.," he told the room, adding: "That's why we made a deal with Adam Sandler — because he's an enormous international movie star. That $25 million opening for Pixels is pretty respectable and I think it will continue to grow. We are more encouraged than ever."
Fuller House May Get Even More Full
Production is underway on Fuller House, which is being billed as a modern take on the late 80s comedy without losing the spirit of the original. He noted from stage that the series' lone holdouts, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, are "teetering" on whether or not to join their former co-stars; he then added post-panel that the twins could return for a guest spot. As for the inspiration: the family comedy has remained relevant in the culture, and reviving it offered Netflix an opportunity for multi-generation co-viewing. Now if only Netflix had SVOD rights to stream the original, which -— to Sarandos' chagrin — is still tied up in other deals for a few more years.
And What about Arrested Development?
The Netflix honcho had no official news to report on another installment of Arrested Development, though he remains hopeful and committed to getting it locked down — and only in part so that he can stop getting asked about it. He added that the delay can be attributed to the complexities of talent schedules and deal-making with owner 20th Century Fox TV. "Our intent is to have another season of Arrested," he said (again), adding: "All of the negotiations are underway."
Sorry Hulu, Sarandos Isn't Impressed
Sarandos argued that Netflix's aggressive push into originals was "not really a reaction to the competitive marketplace," but rather "a move to differentiate Netflix in terms of exclusive access to great programming." In fact, he pointed to Hulu's recent and much ballyhooed investment in Seinfeld repeats to illustrate the challenges of securing exclusivity in the acquired space. "While that was a very rich deal, it's remarkably not that exclusive," he said from stage. "Those episodes are on TBS, they're on demand on TBS, they're on Crackle." Sarandos went on to argue that by creating original programming, Netflix doesn't have to navigate all those complexities of existing outputs deals in other countries and existing output deals through other networks.
Plus, His Way is Just Better — or At Least Safer
To that end, producing original fare gives Netflix a greater ability to control the launch of his series. "It gives us the ability to launch internationally at the same moment we launch in the U.S., which is a great deterrent for piracy," he added. "In all those license deals where they have staggered windows around the world, piracy for U.S. television is enormous. It's always talked about in movies, but in many parts of the worlds, U.S. television is stolen at a much bigger rate than movies." So yeah, he's all about originals.
Marvel, Marvel and More Marvel
Sarandos whet Marvel fans' appetites, noting that they can expect two Defender group launches per year. "Ideally there will be a rhythm of about every six months you'll get a new season or a new series from the Defender group," he said, "and then they'll cross over and do a combined season once we've launched the first season of each of the four characters." Earlier in the day, Netflix confirmed that its second Marvel series, Jessica Jones, will launch later this year.
Cosby is (Still) No Laughing Matter
As the Cosby saga wages on in the media, Sarandos noted that he remains committed to keeping its scrapped 2014 Cosby standup special, Bill Cosby 77, offline. "I don't think its appropriate to release [the special] now," he told reporters in a post-panel scrum, adding defensively of his company's apparent decision to continue distributing Cosby Show DVDs. "The [Cosby Show] DVDs might still be in the library ... That business is more about the completeness of things published on DVD. The Cosby Show is produced by NBC and owned by Carsey-Werner; [Bill Cosby 77 was] produced by Netflix and branded Netflix. The classic show is on iTunes, it's on Amazon, it's on all these other places, too. It think it's appropriate."
Don't Expect Live Sports ... For Now, Anyway
He has both the reach and the resources, but for the time being Sarandos insists live sports doesn't make sense for the on-demand service. Though he (shrewdly) stopped short of ruling it out forever, he noted that "today the real benefit of watching on Netflix is the consumer control and not the groupthink of it."

This is a burden on low-income homes, with mothers and young children being particularly vulnerable. It is for this reason that Safaricom rolled out M-Tiba- the national roll out of M-Tiba is now underway, with 45,000 people already registered and 60 healthcare providers in Nairobi now operational. The first outlets in Kisumu, Siaya and Mombasa have been signed up this week. The M-Tiba mobile health wallet – developed by Carepay, PharmAccess and Safaricom – allows users to send, save and receive funds to access healthcare services using their mobile phones.
