XRP/USD Price Prediction: Should bulls prepare for an XRP/USD ATH above $0.7000
TL;DR predictions
- XRP/USD price will test $0.65 and set a 2021 high during the week.
- Ripple's Relative Strength Index is showing strong buying signals at 72%.
- The 200 SMA and selling pressure at $0.50 show the bears might still have the upper hand in the coin's price direction.
XRP/USD Price Prediction: General price overview
Ripple is currently trading at $0.4846 against the US Dollar. The coin has been correcting upwards since Saturday after it created support near the $0.4500 price zone. Also, note that XRP/USD price broke from a head and shoulder pattern with its neckline at $0.4500. As a result, the coin has formed an ascending triangle which signals a short bullish pattern that could have XRP break near or above $0.50. The main target of the bulls is to hit $0.635.
The past few days have seen the altcoin attempt to consolidate its price above a sharp yearly high of $0.70. Ripple's Relative Strength Index shows strong buying signals at 72%; the indicator is also static to indicate a near uptrend and bullish pattern. Nonetheless, there seems to be great bearish resistance at $0.50 and $0.60 due to heightening seller pressure at those price zones. This is the reason why they have served as key resistance for the past three months. The 200 simple moving average is another price hurdle towards the upside. Which makes the bulls require support from the broader market to overcome.
Despite the bullish signals indicated by the MACD and the RSI, the 200 SMA and selling pressure at $0.50 show the bears might still have the upper hand in the coin's price direction. The price must remain above or within the current trendline or else decline further below the ascending triangle. If it breaks below this triangle, XRP could trade below $0.359 against the US dollar. Failure to remain intact above $0.359 could pull the price towards a bearish head and shoulder pattern and cause the price to set new support below $0.173.
XRP/USD price movement in the past 24-hours
(Source: Tradeview)
The XRP/USD trading pair hit an intraday high of $0.48804 during the early trading hours. However, the coin slumped into a sharp declining channel going all the way to $0.4728. Since then, the price of Ripple (XRP) has been struggling to consolidate above $0.4750. A price point where the coin is facing high resistance. The trendline is heading for a downswing with support at $0.4700. Besides, the 24-hour chart seems to be forming price support near the 50-day simple moving average at $0.4738. This support could jump-start the coin into an uptrend above $0.5 and have a bullish pattern shift its target from the $0.65 price level to $0.75. And therefore have XRP/USD attain an annual high by the end of the month.
XRP/USD 4-hour chart
(Source: Tradeview)
The 4-hour chart has the 20-day Exponential Moving Average at $0.46 and 52% Relative Strength Index, both of which do not have a clear indication of whether XRP's current pattern is bullish or bearish. The bulls are waiting for the coin to stage a decisive breakout before taking any positions; on the other hand, the bears are advocating for a descending channel below $0.48300. The 4-hour chart has already formed a head and shoulder pattern with a neckline at $0.48303. If the coin can break out of this pattern and above $0.48300, the bulls can hope to hit above $0.4900 by the end of the day.
XRP/USD Price Prediction
The price of the digital asset could undergo a short-term dip due to short selling by bulls. This is a typical situation across XRP's market, which might end up destructing the uptrend and causing a slight downswing on the 2-day chart. However, the bulls might take control of the price and rebound XRP from the downtrend and above the ascending triangle. In case of a bullish pattern, XRP will test $0.65 and go on to set a 2021 high in the course of the week.
XRP/USD price has been trading within a consolidation channel for the better part of 2021. The coin has been attempting to challenge the $0.70 price zone but has met multiple resistance. If the bulls manage to challenge this price level, the digital asset will likely begin a bull run towards a new all-time high.

Keywords:Sustained release matrix tablet, IB, Guar gum, Xanthan gum, 32 full factorial design
Objective: Ivabradine (IB) is anti-Ischemic drug and used for the symptomatic management of stable angina pectoris. IB acts by reducing the heart rate in a mechanism different from beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, two commonly prescribed anti-anginal drugs. IB has a short biological half-life and the dose of 5/7.5 mg twice a day. In this present study, an attempt has been made to prepare sustained release tablet of IB to achieve the desired drug release.
Methods: The sustained release polymers, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K100M (HPMC K100M), guar gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) were taken for the preliminary trail from which guar gum and xanthan gum had shown better drug release. Initially, drug-excipients compatibility studies were carried out by using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) which showed no interaction between drug and excipients. Tablets were prepared by wet granulation technique and evaluated for pre-compression and post-compression parameters.
Results: 32 full factorial design was applied to achieve controlled drug release up to 24 h. The concentration of GG (X1) and XG (X2) were selected as independent variables and the % CDR at 2 h. (Y1) and 18 h. (Y2) were taken as dependent variables. In vitro drug release study revealed that as the amount of polymers increased, % CDR decreased.
Conclusion: Contour as well as response surface plots were constructed to show the effect of X1 and X2 on % CDR and predicted at the concentration of independent variables X1 (10 mg) and X2 (10 mg) for a maximized response. The optimized batch (O1) was kept for stability study at 40±2 °C/75±5 %RH for a period of 6mo according to ICH guidelines and found to be stable.

This article was published on nepalitimes.com on 24 April as Helping the helpless during lockdown. It features six organisations that are providing food and other essential items, mainly to the poorest of the poor. I'm sure there are hundreds, if not thousands, more groups in Nepal also contributing in this way. It is a bright spot in a gloomy situation as the country is far from prepared for a major outbreak of the Coronavirus.
Raj Kumar Mahato launched the Covid-19 relief campaign of BHORE with Rs200,000 from his own pocket but doesn't know where the NGO will find money to continue providing essential items for the ultra-poor, Nita Raut has spent all but Rs4,500 of the Rs78,000 she raised and says she will donate her own salary if necessary to provide food to Kathmandu's poorest and Sano Paila, an NGO, is dipping into its savings to continue relief work in the eastern Terai.
Budgets of small organisations providing relief to needy people in Nepal are being squeezed dry as the lockdown continues but all of them say they are determined to keep working.
Kathmandu-based Sano Paila has raised only US$1,000 of its $10,000-15,000 fundraising goal, Head of Operations Jai Sah says via email, forcing it to withdraw money from the NGO's reserve fund. At the same time, "we are getting immense support from our board members and the local community in continuing the activities," Sah writes.
With its team of 25-30, Sano Paila is responding in four ways, mainly in the cities of Birgunj, Janakpur and in Parsa district: serving cooked meals to daily wage earners and other vulnerable people, running an integrated Help Desk in Parsa with Nepal Police, disinfecting hospitals, police stations and other public areas, and supplying personal protective equipment (PPE) and Covid-19 testing booths.
Hiteri Foundation's team of three has been providing hot meals and family food packs to daily wage workers and people living on the streets in Lalitpur in the Kathmandu Valley, Project Head Kusun Tamang explains by phone. "This week we've started running out of funds but some people told me that they will be donating. As long as we have the resources we'll keep going."
People going hungry
Tamang adds: "I actually feel what we're doing is definitely not even fulfilling a fraction of the need. The first week we thought 'Ok, people don't look desperate.' But from this week more and more stories are coming out of people who are going hungry. These are not just daily wage workers but for example, people in the film industry and others with very low wages."
Mahato from Hetauda-based BHORE says that demand has continued growing since 21 March, the day the NGO started providing food and non-food essentials to "ultra poor" families in province 1, 2 and 3. To date BHORE has helped 400 families, he says in a phone interview.
BHORE is also doing awareness-raising on Covid-19, providing technical support, and advocating with governments to provide services and providing technical support, says Mahato, who feels that governments are not reaching the most vulnerable and needy Nepalis. "I'm not blaming government but ultimately it is the guardian of the citizens. If it started to do very effective and transparent distribution of materials then there would be no need for distribution of materials from organisations like ours."
"Even government and international organisations are not responding on the ground so we volunteer organisations have to be very active in this scenario"
Deepak Chapagain from Volunteer Corps Nepal points out that many of the average Nepalis his organisation encounters do not trust any level of government. They feel that those who lack access to political parties will be shut out of official relief distribution.
VCN includes more than 3,000 trained local volunteers and a wider network of 8,000-plus people in 77 districts, Chapagain says in an interview. It was on the ground in pre-lockdown days in Kathmandu, mooting the idea for traffic police to hold up small signs displaying Covid-19 information. Since then VCN has provided food to more than 5,000 people living in Kathmandu Valley and to others leaving on foot for home villages.
The organisation raised more than $2,000 from online sales of the recent release from UK-based singer Yuval Gurung, who was in Nepal when the lockdown started, but it's not enough, Chapagain says. "We are predicting the scenario will get worse in the days ahead and even government and international organisations are not responding on the ground so we volunteer organisations have to be very active in this scenario."
Via her foundation, Nita Raut has been providing food for daily wage workers, the homeless and others in Kathmandu for three years. Usually donors, Nepalis who are in-country or overseas, learn about her work from the media or the foundation's Facebook page, she notes via phone.
Donating own salary
To date Raut has provided food rations to 14 families, 15 porters and 1 orphanage, which is estimated to last a month. "If they contact me again I will help them if I have funds. If that's not enough I can use my own money," says Raut, adding that she normally diverts 20% of her salary to run the foundation.
It's not only individuals NGOs that are filling the gaps. Some private businesses are also playing a role, including KAVACH, which designs and manufactures motorcycle riding gear. Co-founder Arabinda Subedi says he and his partner began brainstorming on how to help soon after Covid-19 arrived. They decided to repurpose the company's production to make PPEs, which are in short supply for medical staff and other frontline workers.
So far the company has made 2,500 PPEs, and has plans to scale up if necessary by using facilities at nearby factories. "Yes, as we are repurposing our production unit to PPEs although we are not yet clear how long we can afford to do this," Subedi says.
One positive point made by most of these organisations is that they are working closely with local authorities, including police. Initially, officials in some places were resistant but all are now cooperating with the relief efforts.

When We Were gods by
19 Apr. 2020
" Sable Venus' epic & tragic journey from Mt. Olympus to the West Indies made this a compelling read. There were many contemporary themes, such as how it feels to be the only goddess of color in Zeus' white European Olympus, as well as the classical themes of gods transforming & interfering with human matters. The moment of Titan's betrayal really hit me, as well as the strong community of women Venus finds later in her journey. The love story with Venus & Athena is such a positive, healthy relationship, we need to see more of those stories staged too. "


text: 8.0 Transformers War for Cybertron Review (Xbox 360) By Adam Volk | July 12, 2010 | 8:00am Games Reviews Xbox 360 Share Tweet Submit Pin Developer: High Moon Studios Publisher: Activision Blizzard Platforms: PC, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 A robot reboot that's more than meets the eye There was a time when legions of prepubescent boys awoke each morning, gobbling down bowls of sugary cereal and basking in the cartoon glow of Transformers. And sure, the show was really nothing more than a 22-minute commercial designed to sell toys, but it was our show dammit, permeating the pop-cultural consciousness of the 1980s. Twenty years later, along comes Hollywood explosion monger Michael Bay with his ebonics-spouting Autobots, computer-generated special effects and the camera's eternal leering at Megan Fox's ass. As a result, a new multibillion dollar wave of Transformer-mania has been unleashed, with Optimus Prime now shilling everything from cars and fast food, to t-shirts, posters and of course, videogame tie-ins. Which is why fans of the original cartoon series may be likely to approach Transformers: War for Cybertron with more than a little trepidation. After all, videogames based on popular film and television properties have a fairly shoddy track record. But while veteran developer High Moon Studios' Transformers: War for Cybertron may seem like little more than another rushed license, like the mantra of the beloved shape-changing robots, the game is a classic case of more than meets the eye. Borrowing more from the canon of the '80s cartoon rather than the lackluster films, War for Cybertron puts players in control of both the Autobots and Decepitcons in two separate campaigns which can be completed alone or cooperatively with up to three players online. Taking place on Cybertron (the Transformers' home planet for the uninitiated), the campaign chronicles the devastating civil war that takes place before the two factions arrive on Earth. Of course, like any good Transformers tie-in, the story plays upon the campy cartoon fromage of the original series, while also having enough gravitas to keep a now adult fan base engaged. The audio is also top notch, from the iconic vehicle changing sound effects and epic score, to the surprisingly well-delivered voice acting (including legendary voice actor Peter Cullen once again lending his booming baritone to the role of Autobot leader Optimus Prime). Visually, the game is absolutely gorgeous, with the much lauded Unreal Engine 3 providing stunning vistas, particle effects, and the recognizable yet redesigned Transformers characters, with everything from fan favorites such as Warpath and Starscream to Soundwave and Ratchet. The game really shines, however, when the characters explore the unique environments: from harrowing space battles to jaw-dropping boss battles within the intricate bowels of Cybertron itself. Gameplay takes the form of an intuitive third-person shooter, mixed liberally with moments of beat em' up brawlers and vehicle combat. More importantly, the Transformers inherent shape changing abilities is more than just a throw away concept and is used dynamically throughout the levels with players able change on the fly in order to solve puzzles and complete specific levels and objectives. It's a unique mixture of gameplay styles that keeps the pace frenetic and the players constantly engaged. And while players will no doubt find the cooperative campaign more than satisfying, the game also features several other robust multiplayer features that are surprisingly addictive, pitting up to 10 players online in a variety of game modes, while also allowing for class and character customization. Of course War for Cybertron is not without its faults. The story is a little uneven and at times bafflingly incomplete (even by the admittedly cheesy standards of '80s cartoons), and the levels are occasionally repetitive in design. These minor problems, however, do little to detract from what's otherwise a polished and surprisingly entertaining game. Diehard fans of the original will probably get a little more mileage out of the game, particularly given the stunning, reimagined renderings of their favorite characters, but War for Cybertron is also more than just another licensed game, with enough going on under the hood to appeal to both the uninitiated and Transformers fanboys looking to recapture the energon-infused buzz of the original cartoon.

The phase is monoclinic (P2/a) with a = 8.7437(1) Å, b = 4.8584(1) Å, c = 10.8600(2) Å, β = 90.124(1)° (Z = 6). 31P MAS NMR and two-dimensional (2D) 27Al triple-quantum (3Q) MAS NMR revealed that it contains two tetrahedral P sites of 1:2 abundance ratio, and two tetrahedral Al sites with 1:2 ratio. 2D 31P dipolar-recoupled double-quantum (DQ) MAS NMR and 27Al → 31P dipolar-based (through-space) and J coupling-based (through-bond) 3Q-heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) experiments provided direct information on the linkages of these sites. The crystal structure was solved and refined from synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction data utilizing the information from NMR. The phase is isostructural to moganite, a rare SiO 2 polymorph, and its structure can be derived from the latter via an ordered replacement of tetrahedral Si sites by Al and P. The NMR parameters of the phase were also calculated by first-principles method, which are consistent with those observed. Contrary to the other moganite phases known to date (i.e., SiO 2 and PON), moganite-AlPO 4 has a higher-pressure stability field than the corresponding quartz phase. This is the first moganite-type phase found in the ABX 4 system.

Which is the Best Ecommerce Platform in 2019?
When it comes to choosing an e-commerce platform, one thing to remember is that you don't need to stick with the fault investiture of any platform. Once you engage a Magento website development company, you can take the basics of a Magento installation and then customize it at length to suit your company's needs.

Forests, fairies and runners
Hi Forest Runners,
I trust that by now you're home safe and sound and that your legs are well rested.
First, thank you to you, the runners, for participating in this second edition of Forest Run. It is my absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to share an area that I love with you. I've been orienteering and rogaining in, through and around this plantation for a good 13-odd years. I feel very much at home in this Forest.
On the Komatiland Forests side, I am fortunate to have amazing support from Chris de Beer, the Eco Tourism Manager, and Thembi Nkwana, the Plantation Manager. Lonic and Mandla from Lakenvlei Forest Lodge take good care on things (and me) on the Lodge side. Amos is definitely a jack-of-all-trades at Lakenvlei – and he's the guy who did the actual cutting of the grassy tracks by tractor.
I have quite a team of volunteers who are very much responsible for making this event happen on the day and for taking care of you out on the route. My warm thanks and appreciation to Sarah P. and Michael (waterpoints #1 and #4 and sweeping from #4 to the end), Penny (#1), Pieter (#1), Liz and Staci (#2 and catering, finish), Johann (#2), Duncan and Sarah B. (#3), Sue (sweeping from start to end of 35km), Kyle (route split and sweeping to #4), Zelda (photographs), Marcel and Maggi (photographs) and Aderick and Marilette (medics). Fortunately we had little need of Aderick and Marilette's services.
I'll post full results with splits at waterpoints over the next day or two on the Forest Run website. For now, these are the Top 3 for each course.
62km (Men)
- Karel Burger, 4h47
- Dirk Cloete, 5h12
- Jonathan Overett, 5h34
62km (Women)
- Hazel Moller, 6h44
- Ariena Shepherd, 8h30
- Liezl Schoeman, 9h50
35km (Men)
- Christiaan Greyling, 2h40
- Warren Eva, 2h49
- Jonathan Gill, 2h50
35km (Women)
- Megan Mackenzie, 2h41 (2nd overall)
- Landie Greyling, 2h41 (3rd overall)
- Michelle van Zyl, 3h53
Prizes went to the winners of the courses. They received an elegant Forest Run tee, a gift voucher card from Cape Union Mart (happy shopping!) and either AR Mini Gaiters or a run wrap skirt.
According to GPS readings, the actual distance on the 35km course was almost 32 kilometres (34km for race winner Christiaan Greyling, who overshot a turning by about 300m, turned at the fence and ran for almost another kilometre before turning around – he caught up brilliantly to win the course; 33.8km for Megan Mackenzie).
The actual distance on the 62km route seems to be a dash under 58 kilometres.
Some photos from Zelda are already up on the Forest Run Facebook page – with more being added by Marcel and Magg. They seem to have been all over the route to catch you in action. Please tag yourself.
Last year Zelda (pink fairy) took photographs and so loved being out in the forest that she decided to run this year. But, having had a knee op two weeks ago she was out of the running and decided to come along anyway to help and to take photos.
This was Marcel and Maggi's first time at Forest Run and they looked the bomb in their wigs. I hope that the smiles from the runners, captured in their photos, were as a result of the pleasure of running in this event and not just because of Marcel and Maggi's appearance. *grin*
I'll confirm the date in the next week or so – it will be early- / mid-March.
If you're running the Pelinduna 70km, I'll be running with you on Saturday.
Warm wishes,

Analysts at Stifel Funds have warned that the premium on the £3.2bn RIT Capital Partners investment trust looks expensive after it endured a tough last year.
Shares in the trust are trading at a 5 per cent premium to net asset value (NAV), which Stifel analysts do not believe is justified by its underlying holdings.
The analyst group said that while they like the strategy and defensive qualities of the funds, the portfolio had a tough 2016 and so a discount of up to 5 per cent would be more appropriate.
RIT's NAV was up by 12 per cent during 2016, and while a comparison with an index is difficult given the asset mix, the MSCI AC World rose by 18.9 per cent.
The portfolio's comparatively low equity weighting at 56 per cent hurt the portfolio in a year of rising markets, and contributed only 0.4 per cent to the trust's gains.
Return from its long-only equities and hedge fund holdings were also weak as managers were too slow to adjust their portfolios from defensives to cyclicals.
Absolute return and credit holdings and private investments contributed 2.4 per cent and 1.7 per cent, respectively, while real assets and government bonds failed to make any impact on the portfolio.
Although RIT offers something different to other funds with a multi-asset approach, good long-term performance and a well performing private equity portfolio, Stifel analysts said that its monthly reporting is too infrequent and that costs are high given its multi-managed approach.
Iain Scouller, analyst at Stifel, cautioned investors on the premium valuation as the shares have seen a significant re-rating from a small discount to a 5 per cent premium over the past year and the shares continue to trade near the top of their five year discount/premium range.
"Whilst we like the strategy and the portfolio's defensive qualities, we are wary of the valuation, especially given recent performance," Mr Scouller said.

I received this book for free from Read for Review in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Dreamscape: Saving Alex by Kirstin Pulioff
Published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing on April 15, 2015
Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Science Fiction, Young Adult
Pages: 348
Format: eBook

{Synopsis} – Sixteen-year-old Alexis Stone is used to getting away from life's frustration with Dreamscape, a video game she's loved since childhood. As her family prepares to move, a sleepy night of gaming pulls her into the world like never before. Trapped in Dreamscape's realm, Alex is about to learn that being a hero has consequences… and this time, the stakes are deadly. Will helping the rebellion cost her everything she knows and loves? Or will she betray them to save her own life?
{My Thoughts} – Alex is a teenage girl that is going through a rough point in her life. Things at school seem to be picking up and turning into something more. She has a date to homecoming with one of the hottest guys in her class and she has one of the greatest friends a girl could ask for named Natalie.
Alex and her family are getting ready to move because her dad got a new job. Alex doesn't want to move and for the past few months has made it very clear to her mother. She has made life difficult with her teenage angst. However, the date for moving has been moved closer then expected and while Alex is throwing a tantrum about the unfairness of it all her best friend Natalie is waiting downstairs outside the door to be let in. It appears that Natalie already knows they are moving and she decided to come over to help Alex pack and have one last sleep over.
While they are packing up Alex's closet they run across a game called DreamScape that they use to play all the time when they were younger at their sleepovers. Apparently they'd played it hundreds of times and knew the game inside and out, which I must say is quite a feat. Anyways, they play the game they beat the game and Natalie goes to sleep. Alex has problems trying to fall asleep and she decides to play the game again. Only this time it isn't like when she was playing with Natalie. This time everything is different.
I really enjoyed this book a lot. I am a gamer girl myself and I have often wondered what it would be like to be in the same kind of position or situation that Alex had found herself in. I also enjoyed the fact that there was so much more to take back from this book then just the initial adventure. It was more a book of a girl finding herself in a world where she was lost and unsure of what she really wanted or who she really was. I think that it was creatively and strategically written and that it is well worth the read. I look forward to reading more work by this author in the future.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.

If this occurs, the good news is it's still an anabolic steroid, but if you ordered something other than testosterone and Dianabol, well, you just got scammed. While under-dosing and mislabeling are two common problems, the one of a far more serious nature is contamination, and this is no laughing matter, nor should it be taken lightly. Due to the nature of many steroid sources, their manufacturing procedures are very poor; the conditions they operate in are not sanitary or worse yet the raw materials are not as clean as they should be. When this happens, this can result in anabolic steroids that are painful to inject; often when your injected area is very sore or even painful for a few days post-injection contamination is the cause.

John joined NRP as a Field Ecologist in March 2013.
He is involved in conducting generic day to day surveys and species–specific surveys at a range of potential wind farm sites, mainly across southwest Scotland. John has received appropriate training through NRP courses, such as height and distance estimation, and use of SPOT messenger, to complement his considerable field skills and experience.
Since graduating with an Ecology degree from Edinburgh University in 1976, John has worked continuously in nature conservation in the UK and abroad. This commenced with a series of contracts for various conservation bodies including the Nature Conservancy Council and the RSPB, mainly involving ornithological survey work and research, and later in nature reserve management. During this period, John travelled and worked extensively in southern and eastern Africa and Nepal. In Nepal, John carried out forest bird surveys for Birdlife International involving organising expeditions to remote forests in eastern Nepal as well as bird surveys in various national parks including Chitwan.
Eventually John settled down and secured the post of Reserve Manager with Scottish Natural Heritage in Argyll, a position he held for 23 years. During this period highlights included managing habitats for rare butterflies and developing three National Nature Reserves for visitors to enjoy. At home in Argyll, John continues to pursue his special interests in raptor monitoring and Lepidoptera.

Providing the highest quality medical care in northern India, Medanta - The Medicity is one of the nation's most renowned multi-specialty, tertiary-care hospitals. The reliability of Mitsubishi Electric elevators was the deciding factor in its adoption for this facility. Providing users with the "peace of mind" confidence, Mitsubishi Electric is helping the hospital achieve its goal of delivering the "ultimate hospitality" to patients, staff and visitors.
Located in Gurgaon, a bustling town in the National Capital Region, Medanta - The Medicity is a multi-super specialty institute featuring cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art infrastructure to support the provision of life-saving emergency medicine and multi-disciplinary medical care. It has 1,250 beds and 10 ICUs with over 350 critical care beds. Soaring above the huge greenscaped site, the contemporary glass façade of the building welcomes throngs of patients, hospital personnel and visitors with the hospitality of a spacious ground floor lobby.
The site on which the 2.4 million sq. ft. hospital building is situated also provides ample space for beautifully landscaped green lawns and trees from the perspective of medical care and allows hospital patients to enjoy a verdant view from their window. For everyone from patients to hospital personnel and visitors, this is truly a sanctuary of healing and wellness.
Every floor of the hospital from the ground floor to 14F is functionally arranged to streamline the provision of compassionate specialty medical care. In this beautifully designed building that is matched by outstanding medical services and the highly advanced treatments demanded by multiple specialties, patients receive the highest standards of healthcare.
All day the central elevator bank on the ground floor is in full operation shuttling patients, staff and visitors between floors, with an uninterrupted queue of patients waiting to use the elevators to visit the Outpatient Departments (OPD) of the hospital. A total of 40 Mitsubishi Electric elevators are entrusted with this vital role of moving people to their destination. Spacious elevator car design provides plenty of ceiling height and the depth and width to comfortably accommodate passengers. These elevators feature an elegant design that complements the Indian architectural ambience and remarkably quiet operation. While these features are essential for Indian hospitals, above all Mitsubishi Electric elevators meet the strict safety and reliability standards for elevator performance demanded by an emergency care hospital where even a moment's delay in transportation is unacceptable.
"When it came to choosing an elevator, the most important factor was reliability. The brand that satisfied our standards was Mitsubishi Electric."
The director's remarks after installation indicate that his trust in Mitsubishi Electric remains unchanged, if not stronger.
"We have 40 Mitsubishi Electric elevators and they are all very durable. In the seven years since the elevators were first installed, we have experienced no operational troubles whatsoever. And the after-sales service is excellent. I heartily recommend this system to other hospitals."
Day in and day out, Mitsubishi Electric elevator systems continue to earn the trust of their owners. Many world-famous hotels and the corporate office buildings of leading corporations in India including OBEROI Hotel, TAJ Hotel, INFOSYS and TATA Consultancy Services [TCS] rely on our elevator systems, and sales continue to grow.
In 2014, the debut of the NEXIEZ-LITE series added an optimum elevator system choice for the growing low- to mid-rise residential property market.
In the years ahead, you can expect to see the triple diamond logo of Mitsubishi Electric more and more every time you board an elevator in India.
Safety and comfort matched by elegant design in harmony with Indian architecture define this advanced elevator series. Adopting a gearless traction machine driven by a permanent magnet motor, this system provides reliable service with a 20% reduction in power consumption compared with conventional systems.
In addition to delivering energy savings, the roomy passenger car interiors feature the ceiling height necessary to accommodate the needs of hospitals and other public facilities.
Medanta - The Medicity is the one of the largest multi-specialty, tertiary-care hospitals in Gurgaon, in northern India. It has 1250 beds and over 350 critical care beds plus 45 Operation Theatres and 10 state-of-the-art ICUs.

A small chain saw is a good tool for many people, but it won't cut through large trees, and if you're looking for a larger chainsaw, you'll need to consider your budget. There are some factors that will help you narrow down your choices, and one of the most important ones is how much power you need.
For a small chainsaw, a few hundred watts will do. If you have a smaller tree to cut, a small chainsaw can save you time and energy, which can be very important in an emergency situation. That said, these smaller tools are not usually recommended for small jobs, as they are not powerful enough to do much damage.
When shopping for a larger chainsaw, you'll need to pay attention to the amount of power you need. Most people have their own personal power requirements, but unless you have a very serious emergency at hand, you probably don't need a chainsaw with a lot of power.
While you might want to chop down a large tree, be warned that this can create a hazard, so make sure that it's something you'd want to do on a regular basis. You'll also want to consider the size of the area you will be working in. If you're going to be working in the yard, you might not need a chainsaw that has a lot of power, but if you are planning to cut down a big tree in the woods, you will need to invest in a bigger one.
There are certain things you can do to ensure that you get a good product. Read consumer reviews and product description pages for these types of items. These are a great way to compare one model to another, and they should give you an idea of how much power you might need to use them effectively.
Take your time when looking at the different models of chain saws available on the market. Don't just look at the names of the saws; look at how they fit together, and what kind of functionality they offer. This will help you determine how much power you need.
Even if you know what kind of power you need, you may still want to look into other types of tools, such as augers, which are less common, but better when it comes to getting through some tree branches. These tools are popular because they are so versatile.
Once you find the tools that best fit your needs, you should learn about the things that you need to know when using these tools. There are a number of things you can do, from finding out how big chainsaw do I need, to determining what kind of auger you need.
Knowing about what you need will help you find the right tools, and it can save you money as well. Even if you don't need a bigger chainsaw, you may want to invest in an auger or reciprocating saw to ensure that you are cutting the wood in the areas you need to.
Pay attention to the voltage of your tools as well. It's not a good idea to use your tool in areas where there is a low voltage, or even if you have a corded tool in an open area, you need to make sure that the voltage is adequate. Low voltage can cause damage to the tools you're using, and can damage your hands, even if you aren't doing any serious work with them.
While you can buy a tool with power that is more than enough, it is important to know that you will probably want to upgrade in the future. The reason why you might want to upgrade is because it is necessary to make sure that you'cutting the wood in the areas you need to. You may also want to consider the number of hours you plan to use the tool, as well as the area in which you will be cutting the trees.
Regardless of what you need, you'll be able to find the right size tool to meet your needs. if you take the time to research, you should be able to find what you need.

Turkish Black Metallers Undoer to have debut EP physically released through Sun & Moon Records
Sun & Moon Records sets June 25th as the international release date for Undoer's striking debut EP, Survival is a Myth, on CD format.
Undoer hail from Turkey, and formed in 2017. Soon, they set to work on their first public recording, the three-song/22-minute Survival is a Myth EP. Mature beyond the band's meagre year of existence, Survival is a Myth was a shock-wave of sleek and scathing black metal, brimming with a startlingly amount of violence and dynamics in equal measure. Initially self-released digitally, Undoer's first recording was so exceedingly accomplished, Sun & Moon simply had to release it on a physical format, and thus endeavoured to bring the band into their proudly exclusive stable.
Alas, the international metal underground shall now witness the fire, fury, and furore of Undoer as Survival is a Myth is unleashed on a worldwide scale. The EP is ominously titled: experiencing the unhinged 'n' undulating attack of Undoer is not so much a matter of listening as it is survival, for the power-trio overload the listener's circuitry was a barrage of tense 'n' terrorizing decibels. And yet, this isn't (ultra)violence for its own sake; there's a wealth of texture and nuance coursing beneath the rotten, rusty gleam of their razor-bladed onslaught, a remarkably advanced grasp of songwriting and sound detail. As such, Undoer exhibit a palatable modern aspect to their black metal, unshackling themselves from the regressive tethers of the past - although, if one has to make references, the Moonfog school of future-shock black metal around the turn of the millennium is a favourable one, to say the very least.
The past has already happened, its paths blazed and burned away. Now only lies the way forward, and there Undoer begin a new path with Survival is a Myth.
Walk the full path at Undoer's Bandcamp HERE. Pre-order info can be found HERE.

時間星期二 下午2時30分 至 下午4時15分
課程講師 James MORTON (email@example.com)
助教 Diki SHERPA (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Christianity began 2,000 years ago in the Middle East as a small offshoot of the ancient Jewish religion. Within 1,000 years it spread across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa, reaching as far as Ethiopia and western China; within another 1,000 years it spread across the rest of the world. Today it is the largest religion on the planet with over 2 billion adherents. Its rich and varied history has resulted in multiple different forms and expressions, from Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy to many thousands of different Protestant denominations. How did a small Jewish sect become such a vast global phenomenon?
This course will chart the major stages in the history of Christianity from its origins in the Roman Empire to the present day. It will also look at a range of themes, including the relationship between religion and politics, the role of religion in shaping cultural identities, different expressions of religious spirituality, and the confrontation between religion and secularism. You do not need to be a Christian – or a follower of any religion – to take this course (though it is fine if you are, too). We study the history of Christianity because it has been an important intellectual and cultural force in shaping the modern world, for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Final Essay Due
Your performance in the course will be assessed on the cumulative basis of different types of assignment (described in more detail below) and your attendance. There will not be an exam or quiz component. The weighting of the different factors is as follows:
|Final Essay
|Midterm Essay
|Reading Summaries
Your final letter grade will be determined by your overall course percentage. You will not be graded on a curve. Grades will be assigned according to the following set thresholds:
Grade Descriptions
|Exceptional: Exceeds expectations. Demonstrates impressive knowledge, clarity, analytical ability, and a firm grasp of course material.
|Strong: Has most of the qualities of A-grade work but has some minor areas for improvement.
|Good: Shows a solid understanding of course material. Has some flaws in writing or argumentation and may contain minor errors or misunderstandings.
|Satisfactory: Demonstrates an acceptable level of knowledge but suffers from lack of clarity, misunderstandings, historical errors, or weak argumentation.
|Unsatisfactory: Achieves the minimum passing grade but fails to meet most expectations of knowledge and argumentation.
|Fail: Does not meet basic expectations of knowledge, understanding, and/or timeliness in submission.
Reading Summaries
After each lecture, you will complete the assigned readings and then write a short summary (max. 500 words) describing the content of all the texts for that week (you can find them on the course Blackboard site under 'Weekly Readings'). This is a reading comprehension exercise that will help to develop your skills in analysing and explaining texts in a short space. You should submit your reading summary to me in hard copy during the next week's lecture.
For primary sources, you should focus on briefly describing who the author was and the most important content of their writing. For secondary literature, you should describe both the content of the reading and the author's central argument(s). Sample reading summaries will be available on the course Blackboard site to give you a clear idea of what to aim for.
You will only need to write reading summaries for ten out of the twelve weeks. This means that you get to skip two reading summaries; you can choose which ones.
I will ask you to write two essays during the course: a midterm essay (1,500–2,000 words) due on 26th October and a final essay (2,000–2,500 words) due on 17th December. I will assign the topic of the mid-term essay in week 4 (28th September). For the final essay, I will provide you with a selection of five topics at the end of the lecture in week 11 (16th November). You will choose one of the five topics to write about. Both essays will require you to reflect on the major themes of the course and to use historical examples to make an argument that relates to a significant debate within scholarship on the history of Christianity.
The essays should be written to academic standards with a central thesis, reference to primary sources and secondary literature, and appropriate citations in footnotes. You are free to follow any accepted academic citation style such as Chicago, Harvard, or MLA. If you are not sure about how to write citations, I recommend looking at the Chicago Manual of Style quick citation guide: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html
If you have any questions about either of the essays, let me know and I will be happy to answer.
Assignment Submission, Extensions, and Lateness Penalties
You will be expected to submit your midterm and final essays by 11:59 pm on the date specified in the course schedule below by uploading them to the relevant section of the Blackboard course website along with a signed declaration of academic honesty from VeriGuide.
Scheduling conflicts and unforeseen circumstances can sometimes make it difficult to meet deadlines. If you are unable to submit your work on time, please contact me as soon as possible and I will be happy to grant you an extension if you have a legitimate reason to require one.
If you fail to submit work on time and I have not granted you an extension, you will incur a daily lateness penalty of 1 percentage point. For example, if you submit your midterm essay (worth 20%) 3 days after the deadline, you will lose 3 of the 20% available; if you submit it 5 days late, you will lose 5 of the 20%, etc. I will not accept any further submissions after 7 days have passed unless I have granted special permission.
Attendance and Absences
You are expected to attend all lectures and tutorials. This will comprise 10% of your overall course grade. If you have a valid reason for being absent from a lecture or tutorial (such as a doctor's appointment, a family emergency, or similar), please contact me as soon as possible to ask for permission.
Plagiarism and Academic Ethics
Studying at the university level requires a high standard of professionalism and honesty in your academic work and personal conduct. This falls under the broad category of academic ethics, a matter that the History Department at CUHK takes very seriously. I expect you all to behave in an honest and respectful manner in class and in your assignments. Unethical behaviour, including plagiarism, will not be tolerated. You can find more information on university policy at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/.
If you are unsure about the definition of plagiarism or academic ethics, feel free to ask me and I will be happy to discuss it with you in more detail.
In addition to regular lectures, there will be a total of four tutorial sessions during the semester that will give you an opportunity to explore course readings together and improve your discussion skills. Each tutorial will begin with a short presentation (approx. 10–20 mins) about the assigned readings for that tutorial by a group of students (numbers will depend on class size); this will provide the starting point for an open discussion. Your presentation should summarise the readings' contents, describe the thematic connections and contrasts between readings, and pose at least 5 discussion questions for the tutorial. Feel free to get creative – the goal is to spark the most interesting discussion that you can!
Remember that active participation in class discussions is expected and will be 20% of your overall course grade. While tutorials make up the bulk of your participation grade, there will also be a discussion element in each week's lecture. Your participation in lecture discussions will also count towards your overall participation score – so don't be shy!
Each week you will be assigned approximately 50–60 pages of reading. This will consist of a combination of primary source texts and short pieces of academic literature – mainly journal articles and book chapters – that explore important aspects of the week's theme. All required course readings will be posted on the Blackboard course website at the beginning of the semester. You will not need to purchase or acquire any course materials yourself.
For a general introduction to the subject, I can recommend the following (non-compulsory) books, all of which are available in the CUHK library system or online:
Pelikan, Jaroslav. The Emergence of the Catholic Tradition (100–600). Chicago, 1971.
Chadwick, Henry. East and West: The Making of a Rift in the Church from Apostolic Times until the Council of Florence. Oxford, 2003.

Gray, Madeleine. The Protestant Reformation: Belief, Practice, and Tradition. Brighton, 2003.
Barnett, S.J. The Enlightenment and Religion: The Myths of Modernity. Manchester, 2003.
Need Help?
It's ok to ask for it! I understand that you may not have studied this subject before. If you have any difficulties with the readings, assignments, lectures, or any other aspects of the course, let me know and I will be happy to help you – that is what I am here for. You should feel free to talk to me in person or email me and I will answer any questions that you have. Also, if you have a question during a lecture or tutorial, go ahead and ask me there and then; other students in the class may have the same question and you might be helping them too!
Open-Door Hours
I normally open my office door every week from 2 to 5pm on Friday so that anyone can come in and speak to me about anything they want. If you would like to chat with me about any aspect of the course, your university studies, career development, favourite historical books and movies, or anything else, feel free to drop in. If there is any obstacle to meeting in-person (e.g. if there is another wave of Covid infections), then I will hold open-door hours by Zoom instead.
If you would like to talk to me but can't make it to my open-door hours, just send me an email and we can set up an appointment at a more convenient time.
