Home Cooked Plan to Spot College Boozing and Improve College Learning
The meeting of university and college presidents captured headlines primarily because of Walter Harrison, president of the University of Hartford, who told a riveting story about his guzzling days as a student at Trinity College.
The year was 1966. Harrison was a junior at a dance at Mather Hall. He'd been binge drinking and found himself standing on the edge.
"I think I had the same struggles that all college students have. My father had died two weeks before I went to college. Kids drink and get depressed and get suicidal. I don't think I was that way normally, but I think having a lot to drink, I was," he said, according to an account in the Hartford Courant.
Harrison told his colleagues that he has since had to pick up the phone to notify a family that their kid was found dead on campus from an alcohol and drug overdose. Harrison has had to make that ghastly call to three different families.
You may have heard about this recent gathering which assembled in Hartford the week before last to discuss and support yet another initiative to deal with high-risk drinking and drug use on college campuses because it got a lot of media play.
Others at the conference told similar stories of students perishing. A 2002 study in the Journal of American College Health was brought up. It noted that despite a host of new anti-alcohol campaigns and initiatives, and a decline in fraternity and sorority interest, about 44 percent of college students between the ages of 18 and 23 are classified as binge drinkers.
Experts in the field say things are about the same, and so they met to support the latest effort, the Statewide Healthy Campus Initiative, aimed at reducing high-risk drinking and drug use among college students in Connecticut.
As things would have it, I happened to dial into an in-depth radio interview on the initiative a couple of days after the meeting. A young lady from the governor's office was addressing different aspects of the program, and I couldn't help but think that the arms of this well-intentioned state effort aren't ample enough to do half the job.
A big piece of the solution rests with us, the parents. State efforts can't care about our children like we do, and they can't provide for them as we do.
So here comes my home cooked plan, hot out of the frying pan (not even half-baked), more cod liver oil than chicken soup, and it might well support what's offered in lecture halls and seminars.
Deep breath here, since you're going to advise your kid to do something that he or she will probably laugh at you for. Big deep breath, you can handle the initial dismissal that's coming – we've all been there before. You're going to tell your son or daughter that he or she will write to you right after midterms and then again right after finals. (Maybe frame them as letters home, told you it was half- baked.)
Here's what my Zac is going to address after he completes the first round of midterms next fall for each course he takes. 1) What have you taken from this course that you are already employing in your day-to-day life, and how might it apply to whatever you might choose to do after graduation? 2) What has this course taught you about what you need and want to learn next? 3) A summary of the course. Here I want content. I want to know what he learned.
We will then, if he wants me to keep writing the checks for car repairs, room and board and the rest, spend a few hours reviewing what he just gained at college and what he might have missed.
Over the Christmas vacation I had several conversations with students who were attending some of the nation's better universities. Some were freshmen, some were seniors. I always ask about the courses they most enjoyed. "It's really very interesting," I'll often hear, and then after a long, sometimes uncomfortable pause, "it's not the easiest thing to summarize." A big laugh, and the conversation shifts.
Now since it's all starting to sound like yours truly has cracked into his fifth Bud of the afternoon, I'm going to do my best to tie it all together. If a kid is binge-drinking more than he's studying he may be able to answer the written portion of the parent exam that you will issue, but he'll be less likely to be able to talk in depth about the courses' applications and what he's incorporated into every day living.
And if a kid can't hold that conversation it might well be a sign that he needs to spend more time with his books and less time with whatever else he's doing, if he wants you to keep writing those crazy delicious tuition checks.

The Billies Finish District On a High Note
May 13, 2019
The Bilies matched up against the Llano Yellow Thackets on senior night on April 26 for a game that would determine their playoff destiny. The Billies came out on top with the score 5-2 in their final district game landing them a spot in the playoffs.
Jarrett Beard was the primary pitcher for the Billies in this game, as he managed to strike out six batters while allowing only two runs and four hits through seven innings.
The Billies scattered seven hits through the course of the game. The Billies managed to take advantage of those hits, scoring five runs. Beard, Dax Dietrich, Hobbs Price, Willy Sebera and Tucker Elliott were the five batters who scored for the Billies, scoring one run each.
Earlier in the week, the Billies faced off against Canyon Lake on the road on April 23 winning 9-8.
Price was the primary pitcher for the Billies, pitching four innings, while striking out seven and allowing four runs. Brady Staedtler came in and pitched one inning, allowing three runs while managed to strike out one for the Billies. Beard and Dietrich also pitched for the Billies, striking out four combined.
Beard and Price led the way for the Billies as they both hit a home run, leading the Billies to victory. Price led the team in runs scored with three, followed by Dietrich with two and Beard, Sebera, Staedtler and Elliott had one each for the Billies.
With these two crucial wins, the Billies have clinched a playoff spot in which they will face off against Liberty Hill in the first round.

PC Gamers Deserve Better
UK Indie developer No Bull Intentions is giving away all three episodes of its superhero-themed comedy adventure game Supreme League of Patriots to gamers who bought Arkham Knight for PC – even if they already received a refund.
We think that PC gamers get taken for granted far too often. Those who choose to play on PC are often subjected to shoddy console ports, driver problems, poor optimisation and game-breaking bugs, not to mention invasive DRM and launch delays of weeks or even months for some titles. We're making this offer to show our support for PC gamers.
As such, we're offering anyone who bought Arkham Knight for PC before midnight EST on 30th June, 2015 (digital or retail) a free copy of the entire first season of Supreme League of Patriots. While we have every confidence that Rocksteady and Warner Bros. will keep patching Arkham Knight until it's the amazing game we all anticipated, that doesn't take away the disappointment that gamers felt. We recognise that our little superhero caper can't do that either, but we hope the comical adventures of The Purple Patriot will bring a smile to their faces while they're waiting. After all, The Purple Patriot is possibly the only superhero in history to take himself more seriously than "the bat".
Gamers wishing to claim their free copy of Supreme League of Patriots should follow the instructions on our Tumblr blog: http://nobullintentions.tumblr.com.
Supreme League of Patriots was released earlier this year for Windows, Mac and Linux and episode one has just been released on the App Store.

What is a star party?
A star party is an evening under the stars, observing with others. First of all, it's a chance to view the night sky and the dozens of kinds of objects in it. A star party is also an opportunity for the public to learn about astronomy, telescopes, and how to observe.
Monthly Star Parties
Rappahannock Astronomy Club hosts free, public, family-oriented star parties every month. They are generally held in a state park or other public venue with an open view of the sky, easy access for guests, and a dark sky. See our schedule for this year's star parties.
We schedule star parties on the Saturday closest to New Moon. When the Moon is in the sky, it's a good night to observe the Moon and not much else. When the sky is moonless and dark, it's a good night to observe everything else.
The party begins when it is dark enough to see stars in the sky. RAC members and guests with telescopes arrive earlier, so we have daylight to see how to set up our equipment.
Sunset occurs at a different time each day of the year, and then the sky gradually becomes dark a half hour to an hour later.
To see anything in the sky, there must be a clear sky. Star parties are at the whim of the weather. If the forecast calls for cloudy skies, we will cancel an event. On the day of a scheduled star party, we update our RAC Home Page around noon to let you know if the event is on or off. We may have a backup star party on a different date, but this is likely to be at a member's private home. Only our public events are posted on our schedule.
Guests often ask how to set up a new telescope for the first time. We will be happy to help you out. It's best to arrive early to do this. Please contact us ahead of time to see who can meet you early.
We welcome guests of all ages, background, and experience. If you have a group, please contact us to let us know how many people to expect. We frequently provide programs for school groups, Scout groups, or other organizations. See our outreach information for more about programs for groups. If you have children, please stay with them.
Also check out Star Party Etiquette. Looking for something to observe? You'll want to see our Observing the Night Sky. We traditionally host a Messier Marathon in March.
What to Expect at Star Party
People coming to look through a telescope for the first time may hope to see the special effects of a movie. There really are grand and glorious things in the sky, and we love showing them to guests. They don't look like movie posters — but we hope you enjoy what they do look like.
Once the sky is dark, people with telescopes will be pointing them at the objects they came to look at that night. We encourage you to wander around, ask questions, and take a turn looking through the different instruments on the field.
Astronomical Equipment
If you're interested in buying a telescope, a star party is your chance to test drive and compare different kinds of instruments. Also, check out our Resource Guide for Telescope Buyers or our Your First Telescope.
What is a Messier Marathon?
A Messier Marathon is a chance to see a large number of well-known objects in the sky in a single night. Charles Messier was a famous French astronomer of the late 1700s. Today he is best known for compiling a list of objects that he did not want to confuse with comets. During Messier's time, these galaxies, nebulas, and other attractive targets deep in space marked the limits of what professionals could see with the best technology of their time. Today, enthusiasts can see all of them with small modern telescopes. This makes the Messier objects a great list for us to use to develop our skills.
In late March and early April in our part of the world, all of the Messier objects are above the horizon at some time during the night. A Messier Marathon is the attempt to see them all in a single night.
If you'd like to join the fun, we have a Messier Marathon checklist to help you keep score. In-The-Sky.org has a large data set on the Messier objects.

We have to admit the fact that, incense is burned all over the world. But the smoke coming from those fragrant sticks may be more toxic to the body's cells than cigarette smoke that may put your health at great risk including cancer, a new research warns.
These new findings suggest that it's worse than cigarettes by several measurements – a result that may alarm some in Asian countries, where incense burning is a traditional and common practice in many families. It is not only used for religious purposes, but also because of its pleasant smell. However, during the burning process, particlematter is released into the air.
Clearly, there needs to be greater awareness and management of the health risks associated with burning incense in indoor environments," said Rong Zhou of the South China University of Technology.
The researchers tested two types of incense against cigarette smoke to see their effects on bacteria and the ovary cells of Chinese hamsters. Both the incense products contained the common ingredients agarwood and sandalwood, which are used in incense for their fragrances.
The findings, published in Environmental Chemistry Letters, showed that incense smoke is mutagenic, which means it can cause mutations to genetic material, primarily the DNA. Compared to the cigarette smoke, the incense products were found to be more cytotoxic (toxic to cells) and genotoxic (toxic to DNA). Of the 64 compounds identified in the incense smoke, two were singled out as highly toxic.
Obviously none of this sounds very good, and for people frequently exposed to incense smoke in indoor environments, hopefully it serves as a wake-up call: mutagenics, genotoxins, and cytotoxins are all linked to the development of cancers.
It's worth pointing out that the research comes with a number of cautions. The researchers only worked with a small sample size, and so far their testing hasn't directly involved humans.
Perhaps more importantly, the research was conducted with the assistance of a Chinese tobacco company. This kind of corporate involvement in scientific studies inevitably leads to all sorts of raised eyebrows within academic research circles – especially when Big Tobacco is one of the players. However, in this case there doesn't seem to be anything overtly pro-tobacco in the paper, other than the demonstration that something else may be even more toxic than cigarettes!
In addition, the researchers pointed out that the chemical composition of smoke produced by two very different products doesn't actually bear a direct comparison for consumer use, as we don't inhale incense and cigarette smoke in the same way.
We cannot simply conclude that incense smoke is more toxic than cigarette smoke because of differences in consumption styles of these products," they write.
As an after thought, the researchers hope that their findings would lead to the development of a system to regulate the sale of incense products and introduce measures to reduce smoke exposure.

Ok, so I know this one is a couple days late, but this one came into my inbox, and while I did sort of let a few days go by, this one is not to be slept on like I did.
Featuring stunning vocals and emotional lines, the track delves into the ins and outs of love. The track takes over anything you were doing from the onset, sort of the way our lyricists can only focus on their love. Once the intro is over, the drums and rap lines come in, bringing a light jazz feel that blends perfectly with the dramatic nature of the song.
Overall, I'm bumbling around because to be honest, no words do this song justice. Just take a breath and press play...

Can Solar Power Support Heavy Loads Like AC and Water Pumps
Increasing population, improving standards of living, and lowering costs of home appliances have all contributed to a power crisis in India. Frequent power cuts and increasing power tariffs add to the woes of consumers. The good news is that solar energy in India has gained popularity in the recent years. But can solar power support heavy loads like air conditioners and water pumps? Let's find out.
Rising popularity of solar energy in India
A decline in the cost of ownership of solar panels has increased the acceptance of solar energy in India. Many schemes and subsidies for consumers have been rolled out by the government in order to encourage them to adopt solar technology for homes and offices. The advantage in doing so is the energy cost savings and minimal maintenance of solar energy solutions, which is the biggest reason for popularity of solar energy in India. The choice of going partially or completely off-grid, however, can be a daunting one for many consumers. The challenge most people face while making this choice is whether their heavy appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, water pumps, water heaters etc. work efficiently on solar power or not.
The basics of air conditioners, water heaters, and pumps
Appliances like air conditioners, water heaters, water pumps etc. require a higher wattage. An air conditioner, for instance, has three main power consuming parts – compressor, condenser and evaporator, for which it needs a high current. For example, a 1.5 ton AC needs 1.9 kW energy per hour to run properly. This consumption falls when the compressor is switched off as the room cools down to the set temperature. Similarly, water heaters need about 2-4 kW and a 1 horse-power water pump needs about .75 kW to work properly.
To handle this kind of load, the solar power generation system needs about 3 kW solar inverter for home use. But this much is good enough to run only one air conditioner, and more appliances means that the solar inverter for home must be capable to handle heavier loads. A 1 kW solar PV panel is capable of producing 4-6 units in a day. That much energy will be good enough to run the AC for 4-5 hours at most.
The Cost Factor
This much consumption would mean that your cost for installing a solar power unit for home use would increase a lot. Cost of 1 kW solar panels (only) in India is between Rs. 30,000-50,000. Add to that the cost of batteries, charge controllers and solar inverter for home that can support your requirements, and the costs may come to about Rs. 2-3 lakh. The fact is that this cost will pay itself off but only in the long run, and that means that you have to look for other options to get better results from your investment.
So, what is the alternative to solar PV for air conditioning
Solar thermal systems have a much higher efficiency compared to solar PV systems and there are air conditioners in the market that make use of solar thermal principles to cool your living space. Air conditioners that use solar thermal principles are efficient and offer a cost effective alternative to heavy-duty solar PV systems and ensure that you get the best value for your money.
Solar Water Heater
Solar PV would be an inefficient way to heat water. Instead, solar thermal solutions are far more efficient in heating water and keeping the costs at a minimal compared to the amount you may have to spend in installing PV arrays for using an electric water heater.
Solar Water Pumps
Solar PV is still the best way to run a water pump on solar energy. Whether you use submersible or surface water pumps, you can use it to pump water during the day or at night in any weather condition. The cost of battery may be a little higher, but since additional PV arrays are not required, the overall system cost remains almost untouched.
In conclusion
If you are looking for a straight answer to the question that can solar power run your air conditioner, then the answer is yes. However, in this article, we have tried to give you the advantages and disadvantages of running your heavy appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, water pumps and water heaters etc. on solar PV arrays. There are more efficient and cost effective alternatives to most of these applications that would not only help you improve the returns from your investment in solar energy, but also ensure the longevity of your home solar power system.
Solar energy in India is still in its nascent stages and there is a lot more than can be done at the policy and consumer levels. All it needs is a little guidance, a little incentive and we can begin to tap into an abundant source of energy for our homes and offices everyday.
At Brihat Energy, our solar engineers possess the technical expertise and the passion to ensure that each and every penny of your investment in solar energy gives you the highest return for a longer period of time. Whether you are looking for off-the-shelf solutions in solar energy in India, or solutions customised to your specific needs, we are always eager to bring you the best.
Call us or write to us to know more about how you can turn your rooftop into your own personal power plant with abundant, clean and free energy for your home and office and help you in leaving a better planet for the future generations to come.

In my line of work, trust is essential. Every time I start to speak with somebody about his/her files or documents, s/he usually gets defensive. After working at my first contract (back in 2008!) for a couple of months, I built trust with the client. One day during a casual chat, the client offered to show me her "important sh*t" drawer. I was intrigued.
We walked over to her desk. In one swift motion she lifted up her desktop calendar exposing the dark underside. What lurked beneath was a jumbled mass of papers – small scraps, large sheets and colored bits. She was an incredibly organized person so I was a bit surprised to see the haphazard array hidden from sight. Once she started to explain what she used it for, it made a lot of sense.
The space beneath her desktop calendar (and I mean a literal desktop calendar, the large, paper kind that used to lay across the desk) was used for urgent and/or critical items. It was a quick access space for things that she needed to deal with immediately, or be able to find instantly.
What really sold me on her system was how it aggregated things based on need. Typically people like to categorize, or organize, things based on subject, topic, or other similar characteristics, "like with like." By contrast, the "important sh*t" space was organized based on need, to either do something urgently or to retrieve it quickly.
Even now when I think about this system, it still makes a lot of sense to me. In fact, I use and create similar systems. For example, most software applications have a space readily available to showcase "recently" used documents or files. Whatever you are actively working on is conveniently accessed with one click. This saves you time from having to search for the document, or to drill down several folder levels to open it.
When I reorganized my bathroom, I designated one box for "quick access – use first" items that I use daily, or will expire soon. Though to an outsider, it may look like a box of random, mismatched items.
In essence, Important Sh*t drawers (or folders) should be used for dynamic content. By dynamic I mean the content should be changing as you deal with your urgent items and move on. If that's not what it is, then it's just another junk drawer.

While some people embrace every aspect of technology and implement it into their lives completely, others would much rather use specific pieces of technology to help them live a little less connected to the world around them.
If you have dreams of living "off the grid," in whatever capacity that might entail for you, this way of life can be much easier obtained by using some key technological advancements that have really blossomed over the past few years. To show you how this can be possible, here are three ways technology has made it easier to live "off the grid."
Advances In Solar Energy
People all over the world have been taking advantage of solar energy for years. While the initial investment can be steep for some, the idea of harnessing your own energy and using it to fuel your home or business is very enticing, especially for people who dream of no longer relying on others to give them this resource.
According to Charles W. Bryant, a contributor to How Stuff Works, residential homes usually will use PV solar panels on the roof of the structure to collect the sun's rays and turn them into energy. With this energy, you can then convert it into a useable resource that can fuel your home just as if you were getting electricity from the grid.
Advances in Hydropower
Hydropower is another way you can have energy and fuel coming into your home without having to be hooked up to power provided to you from your local government.
While the water that you use within your home for cooking and cleaning needs to be clean enough for you to consume, you can use almost any running water source for its hydroelectric power. In fact, the editors of Popular Mechanics share that even if you only have a small mountain stream running near you, that's typically sufficient enough to power a single-family home. As long as there's a big enough vertical drop in this water source, you can find technologies that can harness this energy for you to use.
Improved Energy Storage With Batteries
Not only do most people want to be able to use some type of energy even when living off the grid, but they also have the need to store some of the energy for future use.
Thanks to improved battery storage, people can now save the energy they're producing now for use at a later time. Because of this, Cadie Thompson, a contributor to CNBC.com, shares that living off the grid now is not only something that is completely possible for many people, but it also something that's only going to get easier and easier over time with more technological advancements.
If you've been thinking about getting "off the grid", consider using some of the technology mentioned above to help you accomplish this.

9 farming tweets that show the impact of dry weather
Lack of rain has seen farmers highlight the impact dry weather is having on crops across much of the UK.
The UK as a whole saw just 47% of the average April rainfall, says the Met Office.
Middlesex, Mid Lothian and Fife were the driest historical counties this month with just 12% of the rainfall expected during the month.
See also: Drought could slash crop yields by up to 50%
After one of the driest winters in 20 years, more than four-fifths of the country's rivers have fallen to abnormally low levels, with growing concern of a severe drought.
The NFU says it is working closely with the Environment Agency, public water supply companies, Defra and the Met Office to assess the situation as this spell of dry weather continues.
NFU vice-president Guy Smith said: "The situation is patchy with farmers, particularly in the South and East, reporting as low as 10% of their expected March and April rainfall.
"While decent rains in May and June will put many crops back on track, some crops such as spring barley have clearly already lost their full potential.
The dry spring comes on the back of a dry winter in East Anglia.
The first 4 months of this year have produced only 36% of our long term average rainfall. 40% lower than the drought of 2011. #drought17

But other parts of the country have suffered too – including areas which usually receive more rain.
Somerset farmer James Winslade, who hit the headlines when his farm was flooded three years ago, took a TV camera crew to see parched fields.

Simran Choker For Her
I have never thought of buying jewellery online. But I like their designs and made my mind to try them on. They are having satisfactory designs with brilliant carving models that would reduce my expenses on the jewellery. I could buy the best designs at a lower price. I had also got the certifications of the jewellery once I have purchased them.

Presentation Fraunhofer Centre for Silicon Photovoltaic
The Fraunhofer Center presented by Mr Sebastian Schindler, is a research center that focuses on solar studies and material investigations, and how the two work together, how these materials perform together to come up with efficient and innovative solar and photovoltaic panels.
The centre has 67 institutes and research centres with over 24000 employees. It was founded in 2007 and has two directors with two sites where they do the total assembly of their components in co-operation with students and faculty members and various co-operations. They create customized solutions for key requests in PV industry, through diagnostics and measurement development, they look into module defects and they look into the cases of these defects and possible solutions to counter them. They have an assembly line where they assemble the PV modules to test under different conditions through material science and trying to optimize their modules through development of their cells.
They use modelling and simulation tests before doing a field test of their products for special modules and special designs that may be requested for. Their products range from curved modules to flexible modules, to façade modules using different kinds of fibres in view of adapting the module to its context. They work to optimize their modules' performance for region specific conditions to increase optical gains and reduce loses in desert regions and very snowy cold conditions.
They have many research projects underway, one of them being the integration of fibres into concrete to have them used in facades for optimisation of solar gains and still keeping the architectural aspect of the building attractive, another is an aluminium façade housed with cells for façades facing the orientation best suited for maximum optimal gains. These projects are all in conjunction with architects who model and simulate the outcomes.

On the auto Shanghai Chevrolet 2015 was a study called find out new roads (FNR). She was so futuristic that nobody gave you only stand a chance of realization. Now the car has turned into something more realistic and so he reverses again auto Shanghai (19-29 April 2017) where as FNR-X.
The car was developed by the same team from the General Motors joint venture Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC). But he has much more than the name no more in common with the study by 2015. He is a very smart crossover model, whose self-conscious Karosserie reminiscent of the Camaro. The Interior is however futuristic, and a plug-in hybrid system provides for the drive.
In addition, the FNR-X has an Adaptive suspension, which automatically adjusts the ground clearance of the road conditions. The driving modes V (versatility, so flexibility) and S (sport) further extend the possibilities of the vehicle. Active aerodynamics elements improve the consumption and performance. The front and rear bumper, as well as the side their vertical position change depending on driving mode. There is also a aperture in the grill, which can be opened and closed depending on whether just more air or better aerodynamics are required. There's similar show also on the wheels. To improve the aerodynamics, the exterior mirrors were replaced with tiny cameras on thin arms.
Behind the counter opening doors, a tidy Interior comes to the fore in a mode-dependent lights spread a pleasant atmosphere. In the middle of the cockpit, several other displays on the dashboard and the central console come to a large hexagonal touch screen. The instruments are designed as display. There are in the most current design studies - only a few buttons.
The high-tech elements include numerous sensors that should open up autonomous driving skills. Optical and acoustic sensors connected to the entire body to find the optimal driving line in complex Verkehrssitutationen. The augmented-reality display is to increase security. It enables a 270-degree view of interrupted not by roof pillars backwards and to the side. Such items bring one back to Earth and show: Unfortunately, this car is a study and not a production car.

KUALA LUMPUR: Etiqa Takaful Bhd will enhance its takaful and general insurance brand by expanding into more Asean markets next year.
Etiqa Group Insurance and Takaful chief executive officer Kamaludin Ahmad said a number of countries were under consideration but no decision had been made.
"We are considering (several markets) and typically, the process will take a while. We also need to obtain regulatory approval.
"For now, I cannot name the countries yet," he told Bernama in conjunction with Etiqa's 10th anniversary.
Kamaludin said the group aimed to be a significant insurance player in the Asean region and planned to strengthen its position as the number one takaful company in the markets it operated in.
Currently, Etiqa is present in Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. It offers general insurance in Indonesia, and both life and general insurance in the Philippines.
Kamaludin said the group entered the Singapore life insurance market following the incorporation of Etiqa Insurance Ptd Ltd (Etiqa Singapore).
"Etiqa Singapore became the first insurer to offer an online direct purchase of life insurance in the republic," he added.
Meanwhile, the group continues to seek higher growth this year in the face of challenging market conditions.
"As Malaysia's largest local insurer, Etiqa has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade and in 2017, we registered a pre-tax profit which surpassed RM1bil.
"With more than RM30bil in assets to date, our customer base has grown year-to-year and showed a strong track record of continuous growth within the industry," Kamaludin said.
Currently, Etiqa, offers 47 life insurance and 46 general insurance and general takaful products.
In conjunction with its 10th anniversary, Etiqa will host a fun fest comprising a free concert, a five-kilometre Fun Run and carnival at Setia City Park, Setia Alam this Saturday.
The concert will feature top Malaysian artistes such as Datuk Zainal Abidin, Datuk Afdlin Shauki, Altimet and Chelsia Ng.
Meanwhile, the Fun Run has been designed for families including interactive "selfie" pit stops to make the run even more memorable.
"The Etiqa Fun Fest is our way of saying thank you to all our loyal partners and customers who have given us their continuous support over the years.
"All proceeds collected from the Fun Run will go towards charity," said Kamaludin. — Bernama

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during the heady salon days of turn-of-the-century Vienna. Sigmund Freud was discovering that dreams paved the way to the unconscious, symbolist Gustav Klimt was painting erotic figures, sometimes amid much controversy, and composer Arnold Schoenberg was in love with a woman who would eventually break his heart. The ruling Habsburg dynasty, great patrons of the arts, had for centuries fostered a climate that allowed composers, musicians and artists to flourish in Vienna.
Da Camera Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg, recognizing this rich period in history, used it as the setting when she conceived Vienna 1900: In the Garden of Dreams, an immersive multimedia piano and vocal concert experience that delves into the human psyche through projections, art and text.
Rothenberg has updated Vienna 1900 and expects to draw new audiences for the upcoming reprisal, though she has cast the net much wider than Austria, including works by German contemporaries: painter Max Klinger, composer Johannes Brahms, poet Stefan George, as well as Swedish playwright August Strindberg.
"The singing is in German, the language of Vienna, but we have developed some very interesting ways of having English translations integrated into the piece; it's part of the visuals," says Rothenberg.
In the first half of the program, baritone John Brancy will be making his Houston debut as The Artist. "The piece really explores the music of Brahms and the fantastic engravings of Max Klinger," says Rothenberg.
Brahms, who was an innovative and influential composer, had so inspired Klinger that the artist created his own Brahms song cycle and, channeling the emotions he felt from listening to the music, created illustrations that captured those feelings.
The second half of the program sees a return to the stage by soprano Abigail Fischer, who grew up in Houston and whose parents teach chamber music at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music. "I've gotten to know her in New York, I know her parents. She's become a kind of mover in the music scene in New York. She did sing in Da Camera's Song From the Uproar about four or five years ago," says Rothenberg.
"We move to the world of Gustav Klimt, incredible paintings of flowers that symbolized so much more than flowers, erotic images of women, all tied to dreams, and [Fischer] is playing the role and she is really like an early patient of Freud going through analysis, having these incredible dreams," says Rothenberg, who describes the segment as very passionate and emotional, with the visuals integrated and choreographed with the music.

Arnold Schoenberg's Book of the Hanging Gardens transports us to the passionate and aristocratic world of poet Stefan George's Hanging Gardens collection, where — as love fades away — so does the once flourishing garden.
Rothenberg is a quadruple-threat in this immersive experience; not only is she on piano, but the concept, scenario and direction are all hers. The approach brings together those who love literature, visual arts and the music of the Romantic era, hopefully introducing audiences to new frontiers.

Finding your way in the world of loans is not always easy. The types of financing offered by the Italian market are different , you need to understand what is right for you.
Now we will explain what the main types are and we will see some of their fundamental characteristics, this will help you clarify your ideas well and understand which one is right for you.
Based on what to choose the types of financing?
Choosing the one that's right for you can save you a lot of time and prevent your request from being rejected. You should consider several factors: the amount you would like to request, the purpose of the financing, the type of income you receive.
If you need a sum of money directly to your bank account, you could consider personal loan: a form of financing that the lender gives directly to the customer. This provides for a repayment plan through monthly installments , which are approved by the applicant by signing the contract .
For this type of financing, the amount disbursed can be used for everything you need, without having to specify the destination to who grants the loan .
The loan amounts generally range from 5,000 to 15,000 dollars, up to a maximum of 30,000 dollars , for an average duration of 3-4 years (if you need a higher amount, in that case we no longer speak of a loan personal, but liquidity loan ) .
Then there is the finalized loan . As the name suggests, unlike the personal loan , which as we said being "personal" is paid into the customer's current account, who can use it where and when he wants, the finalized loan is instead tied to the purchase of an asset (which it can be a small appliance, a smartphone or a more important expense such as a car) and is delivered directly to the store where the purchase is made.
The main difficulty that you might face in obtaining a loan is related to guarantees and your credit history : if you have in fact a history of outstanding payments or delays in payments of previous loans, and you are therefore considered by the banks to be a " bad payer " , this type of loan will almost certainly be closed to you.
The assignment of the fifth of salary or pension is a very popular product in Italy.
This is a particular form of financing reserved for employees with permanent contracts (both in the public and private sector) and for pensioners. Unlike traditional loans, it provides for the repayment of the amount requested through a monthly deduction on the salary (or on the pension, in fact, this type of financing also exists for pensioners), which cannot exceed 20% , therefore a fifth of its total .
If you need more money there is still the possibility of delegation , which will allow you to commit another fifth of the salary , reaching a maximum of 40%.
You will not have to think about repaying the loan , but you will then receive a salary that is already net of the deduction .
If the amounts you need are very high, you will need to apply for a mortgage. The mortgages available on the Italian market are many, and there are many customized products for every need.
It is certainly one of the most common types. Specifically aimed at those who are not yet owners, for the purchase of the first home . It can be fixed rate, floating rate, cap rate, mixed rate.
Generally the most requested is a fixed rate, which is established at the signing of the contract ; in this way the amount of the installment that you will pay for the entire duration of the loan is constant (which does not happen with the variable rate) .
The liquidity loan is a particular form of financing that allows you to obtain a large sum on loan (generally from 30,000 dollars upwards), but not linked to the purchase of a property : in fact, it is not necessary to specify the destination. Many use this type of loan to face unexpected expenses or finance a new project .
What are the requirements?
The criteria can vary a lot, especially based on the types of financing and the credit institution , which can decide on its own specific criteria. However, there are universal requirements that generally apply to everyone, both large and small. loans . Both the personal and economic data of the applicant are considered. Normally the parameters that enter the formulation of the analysis are: age, job position and reliability .
The applicant must be aged between 18 and 75 (sometimes this limit may vary), must have a current account and be resident in Italy. The finance company first checks the regularity of the personal documents : identity card, driving license or passport valid for Italian citizens, residence permit for non-EU foreign citizens.
He then proceeds to verify the person's financial situation and his repayment ability , the fundamental thing is that the customer has a demonstrable income.
As a rule, applicants who can claim an indefinite position are considered more reliable. But there is also a lot of funding for the self-employed and pensioners .
In any case, it is necessary to prove one's income through a paycheck (in the case of employees), for pensioners the pension slip or the CUD, while for freelancers the latest Unico model.
The banking and credit history is also checked: did you skip the payment of some installments of a previous loan or did you pay them late? This could be a problem, as you will be considered a bad payer and therefore at risk of insolvency (at least as long as your report remains visible in the databases).
How to find the best financing?
Regardless of the types of financing, to find the best and most suitable for you it is essential to compare the various proposals of banks and financial companies.
How to do it quickly and easily, without wasting too much time?
Go without fail with Good Finance ! Our online comparator allows you, in a few minutes, to find the most suitable solution for you!
We collaborate with several of the main Italian banks and financial institutions, so you are sure to always choose the best offer available!

The Pittsburgh Modular Structure 208 and Structure 360 eurorack enclosures use a switching power supply that needs manually set to the correct AC input voltage. The internal switch has already be properly set for 220-230 VAC. This setting works for the EU and Australia or other countries that use 220-230 VAC power.
For use in countries that use 100-120 VAC power, such as North America and Japan, the switch inside the case on the AC / DC regulator needs to be switched to the left. The switch is marked with a Yellow sticker printed with "AC input voltage can be selected by switch. Check input voltage avoiding damage before power on." The switch is located on the side of the enclosure below the arrow.

Structure EP-360 Eurorack Enclosure
Maximum Power for a New Generation -
Beautifully stained hardwood triple row, 360hp powered eurorack travel case with lid. A huge case to house a monster synth. Features include a professional, heavy duty, internal power supply designed to exceed the needs of the most demanding analog and digital eurorack systems.
Everything is New:
With years of research and two case lines under our belt, we decided to start over and produce a line of cases for the next generation of eurorack synthesizers. The eurorack modular ecosystem is expanding faster than ever and manufacturers are constantly pushing eurorack cases and power supplies to the limits. What started as a power supply designed to drive primarily analog synthesizers has transformed into a supply that needs to simultaneously meet the unique demands of sensitive analog circuitry, power hungry digital processors, and ground sensitive user interface modules.
We started with what matters most. Clean power. A lot of it. Up to 3x the amount of clean power available in cases from other brands. Next we turned our focus to the enclosure itself and there was only one goal. Make the case stronger. Our engineers tested countless combinations utilizing different types of wood, joints, adhesives, assembly techniques, and hardware to ensure that Structure cases are as durable as they are beautiful.
With a clean and gorgeous design that promotes creative exploration, the Structure enclosures are our most robust and refined case line yet. With massive amounts of both room and clean power, you can reach completely new heights in your creative performances.

When fall arrives and the colors begin to change in the high country, it's time for the EXPED USA team to visit Ladybug Peak.
Now, this isn't its "real" name - it doesn't have one. Its only designation on the map is an elevation: 6,567'. But who cares about official names when we can give a place our own playful moniker! Friends of ours have called this little pyramid-shaped summit Ladybug for years. And it really does have ladybugs at the top. Hiding in the rocks we found hundreds of them tucked away, seemingly preparing for the snow and cold of winter that will be along soon.
Ted and Lisa made their escape right after work on Friday, hiking to camp by headlamp. In the morning they packed up and scrambled up the west ridge to the summit. The plan was to camp right there on top, but it became immediately clear that a lack of flat space wasn't going to allow it. They dropped camping gear and explored several ridges while waiting for Kate and Kaj to catch up. These two drove from the Seattle area to the trailhead just east of Mount Rainier National Park and made their way to the top, arriving about 1pm. Hugs all around and a bit of lunch while taking in the vast, 360 degree views. Washington state is known for its glacier-covered volcanos and several of them were out in full on this sunny weekend. Mt. Rainier (Tahoma), just 14 miles from Ladybug, was in fine form to the west. To the south we could see Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and, in the far distance, Mt. Hood in Oregon. Brilliant stuff!
After lunch we dropped back down the ridge and found some tent sites that looked comfortable. We soaked up the afternoon sun and prepared a meal and had a laugh. But it is October and when the sun dropped below the trees out came the down garments and camp booties. The sun set behind Rainier, driving us into the tents for a long night and catching up on sleep. This particular night was calm and cool and the ground was already totally frozen. In the morning we chased patches of sun around camp, removing layers as we warmed and ate our meal. As we packed up for the hike back to the cars, birds of prey caught thermals and they sailed off along the ridges in search of their own breakfast.
As is always the case, our trips allow us to use the gear we help to make. Here's a list of the key items of EXPED gear we used for this cool-weather outing:
- Explore 45 wms pack (coming in March 2019)
- Explore 75 pack
- Lightning 45 pack
- Skyline 25 pack
- Mira II tents
- Hyperquilt Duo
- Comfort wms sleeping bag (coming in March 2019)
- SynMat HL Duo mat
- Schnozzel Pumpbag UL
- Mat Sheet Hyper Duo
- MultiMat Uno and Duo
- Air Pillow UL
- Camp Booty
- Camp Slipper
- Down Sock
When the snow piles up, we might just return for some backcountry skiing on Ladybug. Its a friendly peak in all seasons.

Graduates and Students
Technical Trades Apprenticeship Programme
The apprenticeship programme is designed to run concurrently with theory studies offered by tertiary institutions with Base Titanium providing the practical training facility to complement classroom learning. These training components provide the necessary combination of knowledge and skills to enable the apprentices to graduate as well rounded and qualified trades people.
The programme was launched in 2014 in collaboration with the Technical University of Mombasa with the first group of 20 apprentices now holders of diplomas in mechanical or electrical engineering.
A further group of 10 apprentices, selected in 2015 to undertake automotive studies at the Mombasa Industrial Training Centre (NITA") with practical learning provided at the company's heavy mobile equipment and light vehicle workshops, have now qualified as holders of Grade 1 certificates in automotive engineering.
The third intake has a group of 24 apprentices working towards certificates electrical, mechanical or automotive engineering through NITA.
The apprenticeship programmes generally run for 2 years.
Apprentices will be:
- assigned to the department relevant to the trades they are learning;
- given an opportunity to rotate through other departments to gain a broad appreciation of all aspects of a large mining operation;
- assigned to a mentor; and
- given a personal development plan that includes relevant skills-based tasks, training and undergo regular progress assessments.
Apprentices receive regular feedback and are expected make quarterly presentations to management, produce written assignments and undergo practical competency testing.
What we look for
Secondary school leavers with appropriate grades aspiring to become technical trades people in the following disciplines:
- Electricians
- Instrument technicians
- Mechanical fitters
- Diesel mechanics
- Welders
- Heavy mobile mining equipment trades
- Automotive electricians
- Plumbers
- Boilermakers
- Plasticians
Our business needs dictate how many apprenticeship places by discipline are made available at each intake.
To be considered you must
- have successfully completed Form 4 with a minimum C- average grade and have scored at least C- in both mathematics and physics
- be a Kenya citizen.

January 16th 2019 Penrhiw Farm
hello A very belated Happy New Year. Back to the usual market routine now and the hustle and bustle of Christmas fades from the memory. Not back on track with our supply of meat yet - our beef is still in short supply as the abattoir took a long break and our beef hangs for 28 days. Usual Cardiff markets this weekend with Usk on Saturday and Porthcawl next Sat 26th Jan.
Getting ready for the early lambing - shed space is at a premium at Cefn Coed so Ffi's ewes will have to squish in the hay shed. Penrhiw ewes have the Dutch Barn - an old hay barn but cosy enough as long as there is no Beast from the East.
Hetty, our homebred grey filly, is almost 4 now and is with Ffi furthering her education. Ffi has sat on her back and ridden her around the manege - she was SO well behaved. Photos on the Penrhiw facebook page.

Would you like to travel to Canada?
Have you ever thought of having a fantastic vacation in Canada? Did you ever think about working at the land Down Under? If you do, then you have to know more about the nation, its culture, people, and food prior to making that major choice of traveling to Canada and getting your own Canadan visa.
eTA Canada
This is precisely why Canada has numerous kinds of visas related only to an individual set of motives for staying there.
Visitors in Canada have to have a travel visa. You will either want an ETA Long-Stay Tourist Visa or Short-Stay Tourist Visa if you would like to visit Canada to visit some relatives or friends, go sightseeing, or even indulge in other non-working activities. However, if you're traveling to Canada for business purposes then you are going to require an ETA Short-Stay Business Visa or even Long-Validity Business Visa.
ETA or Electronic Travel Authority tourist visa is the simplest travel visa and is issued to people that are traveling to Canada for business or tourism purposes for no longer than three weeks. ETA is a digital system that simplifies visa tags or stamps in your passport and when accepted it is saved digitally to the passport number you provided during your application. Moreover, you should have a passport out of an ETA using country so as to be eligible for this system.
