Toronto is the capital city of the province of Ontario. It is also the largest city in Ontario. It is found on the north-west side of Lake Ontario behind New York City and Chicago. The City of Toronto itself has a population of almost 3 million people. Even more people live in the regions around it. All together, the Greater Toronto Area is home to over 6 million people. This makes it the biggest metropolitan area in Canada. History Toronto was created in 1793 by John Graves Simcoe as the capital of what was then called "Upper Canada". At the time it was called the "Town of York" after the Duke of York. The name was changed to Toronto in 1834. With the Canadian Confederation in 1867, it became the capital of the newly created province of Ontario. Toronto was one of two cities (along with Montreal in Quebec) that wanted to be the capital of Canada. Queen Victoria decided that Ottawa should be the national capital because it was located between the two. As the 19th century moved on, the city began to grow. This was mainly because of immigration, where people from all over the world left their home and moved to Canada. Many of the immigrants were Irish people. They brought their Catholic faith with them when they left Ireland because of the Irish Potato Famine. During World War I and World War II, Toronto was used to train members of the Canadian Army. After the wars, even more immigrants came to the city. The population was becoming so big that the Government of Ontario decided to create Metropolitan Toronto in 1954, combining a number of local municipalities. These were Old Toronto, York, East York, North York, Etobicoke, and Scarborough. By 1981, Toronto had more people than Montreal even though it was created after Montreal. Because of that, the Ontario government decided to make Toronto a "megacity" in 1998. The first mayor of Toronto was Mel Lastman. As Toronto moved into the 21st century, it became host to a number of worldwide events. These included World Youth Day in 2002, WorldPride in 2014, and the 2015 Pan American Games. On April 23, 2018 a white van collided with numerous pedestrians killing nine and injuring sixteen others at Yonge Street. Climate Toronto has a hot-summer humid continental climate (Koppen climate classification: Dfa). Things to see and do Toronto has a humid continental climate (Dfa in the Koppen climate classification). This is because although the city is next to Lake Ontario, the lake is not big enough to keep its temperature mild. As the biggest city in Canada and one of the biggest in all of North America, Toronto is a popular destination for tourists. It is where you can find the CN Tower, which is the tallest free-standing (not supported) structure in the Americas and one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. There are some other buildings, including the City Hall and the Rogers Centre, that are well known for their design style. There are many skyscrapers, because many large banks of Canada and other companies have their main offices in Toronto, and the Toronto Stock Exchange which is the biggest stock market in Canada. Because Toronto is the capital of Ontario, it is where the provincial government meets. Visitors can see how the province is run by visiting the legislature in Queen's Park. There are museums, including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Ontario Science Centre, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the headquarters of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In the suburbs of the city is the Toronto Zoo and Canada's Wonderland. Many visitors also like to go to Niagara Falls, just an hour's drive away from Toronto. Toronto is full of places to visit, eat, shop, and enjoy. In the downtown area are shopping centres, including the Eaton Centre, St. Lawrence Market, and the Distillery District. There are several theatres, many which are run by the Mirvish family. The Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, opened in June 2006, is home to the Canadian Opera Company and the National Ballet of Canada. Across the harbor are the Toronto Islands, the best known of which is Centre Island. Toronto has many sports teams. Some of them belong to the most commonly-followed leagues in North America. They include the Toronto Maple Leafs in ice hockey (NHL) and the Toronto Raptors in basketball (NBA), both of which play in the Air Canada Centre. The nearby Rogers Centre is where the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team plays. BMO Field in Exhibition Place is home to the Toronto Argonauts in Canadian football and Toronto F.C., a soccer club. Toronto is a very multicultural city. Different people from around the world have moved to Toronto to live since the 20th century. There is a Chinatown, Little Italy, Little Tokyo, Greektown, Little Portugal, and other places where different cultures are kept alive. These people hold festivals where they share their culture with others. Among the most popular is the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE), which happens every year in August. Transport Like many cities around the world, Toronto has an airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport. There are flights to many places in Canada and the rest of the world. The airport is just northwest of the city centre. Since 2015, there has been a train service, the Union Pearson Express. It goes from the airport to Downtown in less than half an hour. Toronto's main public transportation system is operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). The main part of its public transport network is the Toronto subway system. That system includes three heavy-rail rapid transit lines spanning the city, including the U-shaped Line 1 and east-west Line 2. A light metro line also exists, exclusively serving the eastern district of Scarborough. A discussion is underway to replace it with a heavy-rail line. The TTC also operates an extensive network of buses and streetcars. The streetcars serve the downtown core. The buses provide service to many parts of the city not served by the sparse subway network. The Government of Ontario also operates a commuter rail and bus transit system called GO Transit in the Greater Toronto Area. GO Transit carries over 250,000 passengers every weekday (2013) and 57 million annually. Most of them travel to or from Union Station. GO Transit is implementing RER (Regional Express Rail) into its system. Housing Housing in Toronto was ranked as 10th-least affordable in the world. The study compared Toronto with ninety other metropolitan areas in different countries. Hong Kong came in as the least affordable place to live in.

Ella's encouragement The snow is melting in our yard but the pond is still covered with ice and snow. While this deer snacked on the corn pile Ella and I sat in the window, Ella heard me say, "Come on deer," as I held up the camera waiting to make this picture. I was trying to urge it to walk away from the corn and past the pond where it would be silhoutted. She started jumping up and down saying "Come on deer! Come on deer!" Then the deer ran past the pond and into the woods.
The Sinitic languages, also called the "Chinese languages", are a branch of Sino-Tibetan languages spoken mainly in China. Some think there is a split between Sinitic languages and the rest of the family (Tibeto-Burman languages), but many researchers now do not agree with this. Because of this, the Sinitic languages are simply Sino-Tibetan languages that are seen as varieties of Chinese. Many think Chinese is one language with many dialects, when it may be a group of different languages. Notes

The Whigs were a political faction and then a political party in the parliaments of England, Scotland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Between the 1680s and 1850s, they contested power with their rivals, the Tories. The British prime minister was usually from one of the two parties. The Whigs played a central role in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and were the enemies of the Stuart kings and pretenders, who were Roman Catholic. The Whigs took full control of the government in 1715. They held it until King George III, coming to the throne in 1760, allowed Tories back in. When they held power, the Whigs purged (got rid of) the Tories from all major positions in government, the army, the Church of England, the legal profession and local officials. Their most famous leader was Robert Walpole, who kept control of the government from 1721 to 1742.

EddieBauer.com has launched video presentation on two dozen men`s, women`s and home products online. After three weeks, it is pleased with the conversion rate of customers who view the videos. Three weeks after it launched video presentation of two dozen men`s, women`s and home products online, EddieBauer.com is pleased with early results, says Brian Walker, manager of business development at EddieBauer.com. Known for its willingness to test new presentation technologies online, EddieBauer.com has pushed online sales technology another step forward by creating video presentation for two dozen products in its gift section. EddieBauer.com is still measuring the effectiveness of video in creating sales and has no hard figures yet, but Walker says, “We’re very pleased with it. Conversion rates of customers associated with the videos are very strong.” EddieBauer.com is using video technology from Vendaria, which allows Eddie Bauer to detect how the customer is connecting to the web and which media player and browser the customer has, then delivers the video in the appropriate format. “Whenever the customers have to make the choice, they may make the wrong decision or they may become frustrated,” Walker says. Making sure that as many Internet users as possible can view a video is a key goal for Vendaria, Scott Ferris, Vendaria president and CEO, says. “We’ve cracked the code for the least common denominator of Internet customer,” he says. While online retailers have believed that high-tech product presentations generally suit themselves best to high-ticket items, Eddie Bauer is testing the technology across a range of products and prices, from a $298 women’s leather jacket to an $18 snow globe. “We chose a wide spectrum of products so we could gather some learning as to how customers might be benefiting from using this technology,” Walker says. “We went into this thinking that to justify streaming video you needed to sell high-ticket items,” Ferris says. “But we’ve learned that it can be cost effective on items down to $25.” The Eddie Bauer presentations come in two formats, so that customers with higher speed connections get a more sophisticated video while those with lower speed connections get a video that doesn’t take forever to download. Ferris says videos cost about $2,000 to produce. Vendaria has produced videos for manufacturers that then play on retail sites. From that experience, Ferris says, Vendaria has determined that the conversion rate of video viewers is 4 to 8 times the normal conversion rate at a web site. Vendaria hosts the videos and charges customers 24 cents or less per viewing session. Videos may be viewed

Pilot training organisation PTT Aviation has acquired flight training organisations at Newcastle and Durham Tees Valley Airports, months after acquiring the training facility at Leeds Bradford Airport. It now has a fleet of 30 aircraft and helicopters across the North of England. Owned by North East-based business jet company Naljets, PTT’s aircraft include helicopters, single and twin prop planes. All three schools also have Alsim flight simulators, manufactured by Alsim. Craig McLeod, Managing Director of Naljets and PTT, who holds both EASA and FAA Airline Transport Licenses, including EASA Instructor and Examiner authorisations, said, “With access to our expanded fleet, unrestricted airspace and a modular training programme that allows students to progress at a rate which suits them, we have something very special to offer.” He continued, “The close proximity of each flying school gives us the flexibility and extended resource when it comes to instructor and aircraft allocation as well as providing alternative airfields to fly from in the event of bad weather or visibility and close ties with the other sites when doing cross country flights. “Our objective is to make PTT the premier pilot training and testing facility in the UK by bringing together industry expertise, investment and a passion to succeed. We want to nurture the pilots of tomorrow and will provide aggressively structured flight training paths, getting pilots where they want to be both quickly and cost effectively. Our business jet operation at Naljets also provides PTT-trained pilots the opportunity to be involved with a flourishing global aircraft management brand.” Launched in 1925, initially at Cramlington Airfield, by a group of First World War pilots who wanted to continue flying, Northumbria Flying School, which moved to its current base at Newcastle airport in 1935, is the oldest flying school in the country in continuous existence. The club and its reputation have attracted high profile members over the years, from Sam Smith Senior, founder of Ringtons Tea and pioneering female flyer Connie Leathart. Charlie Lutman, who trained with them after winning their one and only scholarship, was said at the time to be the youngest qualified pilot in the North aged 17. Craig commented, “I learnt to fly at Northumbria Flying School and I have a strong emotional connection with it. I want to continue to build on its impressive history and I am honoured to have the chance to do so under the PTT brand, offering flight training in a safe and professional environment.”

Adam Air Flight 574 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight operated by Adam Air between the Indonesian cities of Surabaya (SUB) and Manado (MDC) that crashed into the Makassar Strait near Polewali in Sulawesi on 1 January 2007. All 102 people on board were killed, the highest death toll of any aviation accident involving a Boeing 737-400. Aircraft The aircraft, a Boeing 737-4Q8, serial number 24070, registration PK-KKW, was manufactured in 1989. Prior to service with Adam Air, owned by ILFC the aircraft had been leased to seven airlines, including Dan-Air, British Airways, GB Airways, National Jets Italy, WFBN, Air One and JAT Airways. The plane has flown 45.371 hours and was last evaluated and declared airworthy by the Indonesian transport ministry on 25 December 2005. Accident On 1 January 2007, at 12:59 local time (05:59 UTC), the plane departed from Juanda Airport, Surabaya, with 96 passengers (35 adults, 47 children and 4 infants) and 6 crew on board. The passenger list was composed mainly of Indonesian nationals; the only foreigners were an American family of three. The two-hour flight, scheduled to arrive at Sam Ratulangi Airport, Manado, at 16:00 local time, was as expected until the plane disappeared from air traffic control radar screens at Makassar, South Sulawesi, with the last contact at 14:56 local time (06:56 UTC). The last known beacon position was detected by a Singaporean satellite. The altitude of the plane was shown as 35,000 feet (10,670 m) on the radar screen. Captain Widodo and First Officer Susanto were both at the controls at the time of the accident. The aircraft was having issues with its navigation equipment. First Officer Susanto asked the Air Traffic Controller controlling the Makassar airspace their location and distance from the next waypoint. Instead of using that information to confirm their position, the flight crew decided to manually reset the aircraft's Inertial Reference System. First Officer Susanto switches his IRS mode to ATT (or attitude) mode, and his attitude indicator screen goes blank. Because of this, Captain Widodo is required to fly the aircraft straight and level for 30 seconds. Because the pilots were focused on the navigation error, neither of them noticed that the autopilot had disconnected. The Boeing 737 slowly began to bank to the right, because an earlier unresolved maintenance error had put the ailerons slightly out of trim. The increasing right bank goes completely unnoticed until Captain Widodo hears the bank angle warning. In response, he tells the first officer to put his IRS mode back on NAV. First Officer Susanto switches his mode back and attempts to take control of the aircraft to stop it from rolling into an inverted upset situation. Captain Widodo tells Susanto not to turn the aircraft, as he is still under the impression that the autopilot is keeping the aircraft on heading so that the IRS can realign itself. First Officer Susanto then tries to tell the captain that the aircraft is banking dangerously over to the right. By the time the captain realizes what is actually happening, the aircraft is descending at negative 60 degrees nose down and 110 degrees of right bank. Captain Widodo takes control of the aircraft and attempts to roll the plane wings level, but is spatially disoriented by the lack of visual cues outside of the aircraft and completely ignores his attitude indicator. "Pull up, pull up!" First Officer Susanto screamed. Then, at a speed of Mach 0.926, Widodo pulls back on his yoke, contrary to existing upset recovery procedures. The horizontal stabilizers then separate from the aircraft, leaving it completely uncontrollable.

The digital has launched both excitement and concern with art’s ecologies of making the ‘new.’ Art’s making begins not with the tool but with a sense of who we are, our origins, histories, centers, and peripheries, and it continues in our co-evolution with technics. Taking a starting point in the new book Digital Dynamics in Contemporary Nordic Art the conversation asks: What ecologies are implicated in art’s making today, and what does the pursuit of the ‘new’ promise, challenge, and feed forward? WHEN: October 20, 14.30-16.00 WHERE: MS Sandnes, Vågen (the Harbour), 4001 Stavanger ENTRANCE: Free [a limited number of books will also be available for sale with a discount during the biennial opening weekend] More about Art’s New Making.

Court declares Scarlet bankrupt WILLEMSTAD - The Court of First Instance of Curaçao, declared the telecommunication company Scarlet bankrupt yesterday. This puts an end to a few noisy and uncertain months for both the employees and the company’s customers. The Court decided to declare the company bankrupt because after the deferment of payment was granted on July 21, the debt position did not improve but even worsened. The 34 employees and, like Paul Gelderloos, Scarlet's managing director, indicated to the court by email, “the 3,000 customers now know, where they stand”. With the provisional postponement of payment, Gelderloos thought that he would prevent the network provider Digicel from shutting down their business from the network.

No action will be taken against Manchester United or Manchester City for the altercation that took place after City’s 2-1 Premier League win at Old Trafford earlier this month. The visitors’ celebrations after the December 10 contest are alleged to have sparked a row involving several players and staff from both teams in the corridor outside the dressing rooms. During that altercation, it is understood that milk and water were thrown at United boss Jose Mourinho from within the City dressing room. But in a statement, the Football Association said: “Following a review of the evidence provided by the clubs and independent eyewitnesses, the FA will be taking no formal action.”.
Thomas Telford (9 August 1757 - 2 September 1834) was a Scottish civil engineer. One of his earliest works can still be seen on the bridge across the River Esk in Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway From 1787 he designed churches, roads and canals in Shropshire. He built 40 bridges in Shropshire, including major crossings of the Severn at Buildwas, and Bridgnorth. The bridge at Buildwas was Telford's first iron bridge. In 1793 he managed the detailed design and construction of the Ellesmere Canal, to join the ironworks and collieries of Wrexham with Chester, using the existing Chester Canal, and then the River Mersey. This involved the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct over the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen, where Telford used a new method of construction consisting of troughs made from cast iron plates and fixed in masonry. Running for over 1,000 feet (300 metres) 126 ft (38 m) above the valley floor, the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has nineteen arches, each with a 45 ft (14 m) span. Then he designed lots of projects in his native Scotland, including the building of the Caledonian Canal, as well as harbours and tunnels and some 920 miles (1,480 km) of new roads and over a thousand new bridges in the Highlands of Scotland. He built the Menai Suspension Bridge, the longest suspension bridge at the time. He was called the Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes), and he was elected as the first president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, which he held for 14 years until his death. The town of Telford in Shropshire is named after him.

The 19th of April Movement (), or M-19, was a Colombian guerrilla movement. After the guerrilla movement broke apart, it became a political party, the M-19 Democratic Alliance (), or AD/M-19. The group was created after the possibly rigged presidential elections of 19 April 1970. The group's ideas were seen as nationalism, but its main goal was to open up democracy in Colombia. In the 1980s, the group had about 1,500 and 2,000 members, making it the second largest guerrilla group in Colombia after the FARC. Today, the group is no longer active however senior members later became politicians and members of Humane Colombia. President-elect Gustavo Petro was a member of this group.

Trinidad, an unrecognized beautiful Cuban destination Cuba is one of the highest-ranked destinations of the Caribbean. Infamous for its colourful architecture and vintage cars, travellers mostly flock in Havana – the capital. That is because they haven’t heard about Trinidad yet. This city in the centre of Cuba and a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must-visit. A well-preserved colonial town Trinidad is one of the first Spanish-built cities of Cuba. Founded around 1514, it has quickly become the heart of the sugar industry and thus a place for the rich plantation owners. The latter liked to show off their wealth through colourful homes. Palaces and large plazas have also been built to emphasize Trinidad’s fortune. Most of the constructions remain as they were, making to town join the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1988. What mainly preserved old Trinidad – because more modern houses obviously erected through the years, is that the historic centre is a pedestrian zone. It is therefore recommended to wear comfortable shoes when in there because you will have to walk around the cobblestone streets! The best place to start your free Trinidad tour is definitely the Plaza Mayor, the heart of the town. It’s a typical square bounded with greenery, colourful buildings that are now home to restaurants and the Convento de San Fransico. The bright yellow tower of the latter, known as the Bell Tower, is an infamous landmark. It’s also a museum where you’ll find exhibitions about the Cuban revolution. After that, head to Palacio Cantero nearby. It’s a mansion housing the Museo Historico Municipal where you can learn about the colonial era. Close to must-see places in Cuba Trinidad is quite far from Havana – about a 7-hour bus ride from the capital. However, it’s located near by places you wouldn’t want to miss when in Cuba. For instance, the beautiful Ancon beach which is only 15 minutes from Trinidad. On the outskirts of the town is also set Topes de Collantes national park. It is home to stunning waterfalls and very nice hiking trails. One of the most popular hikes is the one that makes you go through a coffee plantation and leads you to a 62-metter waterfall that drops into a natural but cold pool. That trail is called Salto de Caburni. In the valley outside the town, Valle de Los Ingenios, you will find what remains of the sugar plantations of the 18th and 19th centuries. Around 30,000 slaves worked in the mills back then. That is how Trinidad became one of the top sugar producers in the world and a wealthy town. As you can see, there are a lot to see in the Cuban city. It’s impossible to visit all of Trinidad in a day and you wouldn’t spend your time doing the 14-hour trip every time. It is therefore wiser to rent a villa or a room in a casa particular. The latter is often cheaper ($35 per night) and doesn’t need to be booked beforehand. Besides, a stay in Trinidad will let you enjoy its lively nightlife rocked by the never-stopping music.

The Division of Brand is an Australian electoral division in the state of Western Australia. The division was named after Sir David Brand, a former state premier. It was created in 1984 because of the large increase in population. It covers an area of 411 km2 south of Perth. It includes the City of Kwinana, City of Rockingham and the northern section of the City of Mandurah. According to the 2006 census, Brand is the electorate with the lowest proportion (12.6%) of residents with a university qualification. Members Wendy Fatin was Minister for the Arts in the early 1990s. Kim Beazley was Minister for Defence in the Hawke Government, and Deputy Prime Minister to Paul Keating. He took over the seat in 1996. He had been the member for Swan but changes in the boundaries showed he would lose it. At the 1996 election, Beazley won Brand by just 387 votes. Gary Gray was Minister for Resources and Energy, Minister for Tourism and Minister for Small Business in the Rudd Government. Election results
Award winning photographer De an Tokuno exhibited photographs of his Uncle Tim who served heroically in World War II. Dean has previously exhibited two powerful interpretive documentaries of his parents and his grandfather. The Ridley Gallery show was the first showing of the views of his uncle. The exhibit opened February 19, 2002, the anniversary of the signing of the Executive Order 9066 in 1942. During the exhibit former internees and veterans who served in the all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team, nicknamed the "Purple Heart Brigade" were in the gallery to talk about their experiences with visitors. The library in Rocklin and Grass Valley showcased historic artifacts and photographs related to life in Placer County before and during the war years. On view was a part of an exhibit from the Klamath Falls Museum including a searchlight from a guard tower at the Tule Lake Internment Camp. Anthony Gill of the Art Department directed an installation on campus of 1,800 ceramic tea bowls symbolizing the numbers of people affected and their remarkable spirit. Anthony threw each bowl with imperfections characteristic of the traditional rustic style-- each individual, each unique. Other display cases throughout the LRC on both campuses showed artifacts giving a sense of the times in the early 1940's. The displays thematically covered the Japanese American's Placer County involvement in four areas: agriculture, education, the internment camps and the military. Some display items were on loan from the Klamath Falls Museum, the Sacramento Archives Museum and Collection Center and community individuals. Annuals from Placer Junior College were displayed along with yearbooks from Tule Lake loaned by Hisako Sugioka from Penryn.

Updated: BORMIO, Italy (AP) — Bode Miller feels ready to get back on the podium. After collecting gold, silver and bronze medals at the Vancouver Olympics, Miller’s best finish this season is eighth in the opening downhill a month ago in Lake Louise, Alberta. The World Cup downhill Wednesday in Bormio, on a course where Miller has had three victories and nine top-10 finishes during his career, should present a solid opportunity for him to get back on track. Miller showed his potential by placing fourth in the final training session on Tuesday. “It’s just matching up the right setup and the right tactics and the right race day conditions,” Miller said. “I know the course. I don’t need to inspect it much, so it’s just execution.” Other favorites include Klaus Kroell of Austria, who led the final training session, and Christof Innerhofer of Italy, who led Monday’s opening training run and won this race two years ago. Miller swept both speed races — super-G and downhill — on the Stelvio course during the 2005 world championships, in which he also completed a memorable one-ski descent during the combined event. His other win in Bormio came in 2007. Miller didn’t train speed over the summer and is still tinkering with his equipment. But the Stelvio is such a tough course — most skiers consider it the most physically demanding on the circuit — that equipment is usually not the deciding factor. “It’s just pretty turny and there’s not a ton of gliding, so even if your skis aren’t running the very best, you don’t have to rely on having very fast skis that day,” Miller said. “Whereas on some hills, if you don’t have fast skis that day, you just don’t win.” Coaches have been urging the 33-year-old Miller to scale back his schedule. He was slated to skip this race. “But he decided he wanted to go,” said U.S. head coach Sasha Rearick, adding that Miller has been “putting in tremendous effort” in training, and that “there’s still a lot more speed in him.” At 2.03 miles, the Stelvio trails only the classic Lauberhorn in Wengen, Switzerland, as the longest course on the circuit. But the constant bumps from top to bottom and shade nearly all the way down result in almost every skier bending down to their knees in exhaustion upon reaching the finish. “For two minutes straight you’re turning, you’re edge to edge, you’re trying not to fight the hill and ski it as clean as you can and carry the speed,” said Canada’s Robbie Dixon. “In Wengen, you’re cruising and searching for speed and gliding. It’s different.” Meanwhile, Marco Sullivan of the United States and Louis-Pierre Helie of Canada crashed in training Tuesday. They were to fly to a hospital that specialized in head injuries in Innsbruck, Austria. Innerhofer didn’t expend much energy in the final training, placing 34th. “The race is tomorrow, so it’s doesn’t make any sense to put all the effort in today,” he said. “I already had a good run yesterday and the line is pretty clear. I feel good on this course, it’s steep and turny and that’s what I like.” Two-time overall World Cup winner Aksel Lund Svindal is competing with a fractured rib — the result of a recent fall in Val Gardena — although the Norwegian said it doesn’t bother him while skiing. Swiss veteran Didier Cuche, who was third in the final training session, has modest goals. “Just finishing here is an accomplishment,” Cuche said. “So being in the top five would satisfy me.”

In February 2009, Cayne was named in Time Magazine's list of "25 People to Blame for the Financial Crisis."

Cuban doctor found dead in hotelComment on this story Brasilia - A Cuban doctor who worked in a Brazilian government programme that hired thousands of foreign physicians committed suicide at a hotel in the country's capital, the Health Ministry said on Monday. The 52-year-old male doctor was found dead in a hotel room in what the local police said was a suicide, a ministry spokesman said. The ministry did not release the name of the doctor or more details about the death. He was one of more than 7 000 Cubans who are in Brazil as part of a programme that hires foreign doctors to tend the sick in slums and remote rural locations where there are no Brazilian physicians. Since its start last year the “More Doctors” programme has been roiled with controversy, as some Brazilian physicians tried to bar the entry of Cuban doctors who they said threaten to undermine the country's medical standards. The defection of a Cuban doctor over low pay in February also raised complaints by some opposition politicians who said the physicians were being exploited. Under an agreement signed with Cuba through the Pan-American Health Organisation, or PAHO, the Cubans get only one-fifth of the 10 000 reais ($4 100) a month that Brazil pays each physician in the programme. The rest goes to the Cuban state. Still, most Brazilians living in poor slums that for years lacked the most basic health care have welcomed the Cuban doctors, bolstering the popularity of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, according to past polls. An official with the Cuban embassy in Brasilia was

Health Breathing it all in Anthony is sick this week, so we’re re-running an appropriate column from 2008. I was a sickly child—asthma, eczema, bronchitis, and allergies to cow milk, oranges, grapes, fish, eggs and nuts. In school I got academic awards but never one for perfect attendance. I felt like a slacker. When I was 11 or 12 a new, competent doctor discovered I was anemic and prescribed an iron supplement. My health improved dramatically. I quickly went from spindly and sickly to robust and athletic, just in time for adolescence, thank goodness. Still, when I had the physical required for college, the examining physician said I should limit my physical activity to bowling. That I’d been doing nearly everything my friends did didn’t faze this guy; based on my history, bowling was all he’d recommend. So, of course, as an obedient young fellow, the first physical education course I took in college was judo. After childhood I was rarely sick. I was a smoker for a long time and got colds and other respiratory ailments rather more than necessary, I suppose, but I was used to those and for me they were an integral part of life. I didn’t expect inspiration to come easily, and it didn’t. Do you suppose there’s a connection? I’ve been injured—sprains, strains, cracked ribs and a herniated disk—but when I’ve been down and out it’s usually had something to do with breathing. The flu has been fairly awful for me, and my egg allergy kept me from getting a vaccine. Even after I discovered that eggs no longer did me in, I avoided flu shots. I tend to avoid government inoculations on general principles, but when I saw a doctor this spring, he recommended one, and in a trusting, hopeful, reckless moment, I assented. A few weeks later I was bedridden. After the antibiotic didn’t work, a chest X-ray indicated “the old man’s friend”—pneumonia. Pneumonia has been lurking in the background for most of my life. I had it for the first time when I was 20 months old and ended up in the hospital in an oxygen tent. Since then I’ve had it seven or eight times, most recently last month. Sir William Osler (1849–1919) apparently called pneumonia “friend of the aged,” but “old man’s friend” is the version I’ve heard, because it brings a peaceful end. In Osler’s day, pneumonia regularly killed a lot of people, mostly children and old folks. These days it’s not such a big deal, unless you’ve got it. Now I know the signs. First, there are the seven or eight molecules of air I can get inside me at a time. Then, if I manage to sit up, I have to rest before I can actually stand. I also have no interest in anything that doesn’t have something to do with breathing. On a good day, I can walk across the room before I have to sit down and rest; round trips are out of the question. Good drugs are wonderful, though, and now I’m recovering, walking slowly, but walking. Does big pharma sell flu shots?

Torrential rain floods Port Jeff By Alex Petroski & Kyle Barr Those strolling through Port Jefferson Village on the morning of Sept. 26 couldn’t stride too far without hearing the distinct sound of Shop-Vacs. The area was hit with more than 4 inches of rain during the evening into the night Sept. 25, according to the National Weather Service, leading to severe flooding in Port Jefferson Village. The intense rain storm flooded businesses, the Port Jefferson Fire Department and even forced emergency evacuations from Theatre Three. Fire department Chief Brennan Holmes said water levels on the department’s grounds on Maple Place reached about 5 feet high. “The problem with this was it was 4 inches of rain in an hour and a half, so it rose so quickly that a chief’s car got stuck in a flash flood, we couldn’t get the trucks out,” he said Wednesday morning as cleanup efforts were already well underway. He added he had just spoken to Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R), whose department was helping out with the cleanup effort. “I think we took 10 people out of flooded cars.” Christian Neubert, a member of the fire department, said around 8 p.m. Tuesday night people were trapped in their cars in the vicinity of Wynn Lane, as well as others on Liberty Avenue near Port Jefferson High School. Holmes said between 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. the department responded to 14 alarms related to the flooding. In addition to damage to at least one department car, Holmes said the radio room also flooded, sustaining damage that was still being assessed Wednesday. “We had a lot of stuff damaged,” Holmes said. “Usually [some flooding is] easily mitigated. We’re good with that. We get the trucks out and up the hill. This just came so fast and so quick and so much that it was tough.” Theatre Three was inundated with water during the storm. The deluge left a watermark 4 feet high in the theater’s basement, high enough to nearly pour over the bar and stools used for the theater’s comedy nights. Theatre Three president, Andrew Markowitz, said the flooding started around 7:30 p.m. Sept. 25. The water reached high enough to muddy the costumes and props the theater was to use in this upcoming Friday’s production of “The Addams Family,” many of which will have to be quickly replaced. Worse still, much of the theater’s lighting apparatus was stored downstairs, and personnel were still determining what needed to be repaired or replaced Wednesday. “We have a lot of volunteers who are helping out, but anyone who wants to come down and clean they are welcome,” Markowitz said. The office on a lower floor used by Jeffrey Sanzel, the theater’s executive artistic director, was nearly submerged. The small office contained innumerable books, original stage scripts and stage props, many of which Sanzel said were completely ruined by the rushing waters. He estimated several thousand dollars worth of items were destroyed. However, their loss means much more to him on a personal level. “I spend more time in that office than I do in my own house, and everything in my desk, from my shelves down, is gone,” Sanzel said, his pants stained with mud. “The personal stuff — it’s just gone, I’ve never seen it like this. But then again, we could be in the Carolinas, you have to put things in proportion.” At the same time the theater was hosting about 40 children and their families in auditions for its yearly portrayal of “A Christmas Carol.” Since the kids had nowhere to go with the several-foot-deep waters outside, Sanzel said they simply continued on with the auditions in order to keep the kids calm. Holmes indicated that while the flooding was catastrophic, it occurred during low tide. When asked what this storm might have looked like had it happened during high tide, the chief responded, “We don’t want to know.” Markowitz said Theatre Three is still waiting for the assessment on total damages, but he feared the cost could be astronomical. He said the theater would work hard over the next days to make sure the production of “The Addams Family” goes on, despite the flooding. “The show must go on,” he said. Donations are already pouring in, and theater operators said they have received close to $5,000 just in the morning hours after the flood. For more information, go to the website:.

Buying Toyota Trucks As with most automobile purchases, the process of buying Toyota trucks is somewhat involved. However, with the proper research, you'll be able to find a truck that's perfect for your needs. About Toyota Trucks A popular Japanese carmaker known for making reliable products, Toyota has been producing and selling trucks for decades. The first Toyota trucks were introduced in the 1960s. Today, Toyota dominates the consumer truck market. The Toyota Tundra accounts for a whopping 16 percent of United States full-size truck sales, and the smaller Tacoma is the top seller in the compact truck class. Buying Toyota Trucks: Five Steps In order to get the best deal on a truck you'll love for years to come, it's important to do your homework. Knowledge about your truck and the buying process will make you a more confident and competent consumer. Selecting a Truck When you're ready to buy a truck, the first thing you'll need to do is find the vehicle that's right for you. Toyota makes two pick-up trucks for United States consumers: - The Toyota Tundra is a full-size truck with a powerful engine and serious towing capabilities. In 2010, Toyota offered a new Tundra at about $24,000. - The more compact Toyota Tacoma is a lighter-duty truck with a wide array of possible options. The base 2010 model retailed for just over $16,000. Both models are very popular, but they are each suited to specific driving conditions and uses. Before you decide on the model and configuration you plan to buy, ask yourself the following questions: - How much weight will you be hauling with this truck? Pay attention to the truck's gross vehicle weight and tow rating. - Do you need four-wheel drive? If you live in a snowy climate, this may be a necessity for safe winter driving. - What is your car-buying budget for your truck? In general, the Tundra is several thousand dollars more expensive than the Tacoma. - How many passengers will you need to carry? If you're planning to carry a lot of people, you may need a truck with an extended cab or even a double cab. - How important is the truck's gas mileage? The Tacoma typically gets better gas mileage than the Tundra. New or Used? Because of their popularity, Toyota trucks tend to hold their value better than other vehicles. This means that you can save some money buying a used truck, but the savings might not be as significant as they would be with other brands. If your truck budget is limited, a used Toyota can still be a good way to go. These trucks last for a long time, so you can expect to get years of use out of an older model. Financing your Toyota Truck Before you head to the dealership, it's a good idea to line up financing for your truck. Start by determining the car payment you can afford. This may help you make a decision about whether you want a new or used vehicle and which model is right for you. After you've decided on a budget, talk to banks about financing your truck. You can get loan offers from your local bank or credit union, and you can also get quotes from large online banks. To find the best deal, compare the rates offered by several different lending institutions. The dealership may also offer financing for your Toyota truck. Depending on current loan rates and any special promotions, this can be a good deal. However, you should always do your homework before considering any of these offers. To learn more about financing your truck, read the following articles: - Auto Loan Car Rates - Auto Loans Refinancing with Bad Credit - Car Loan Interest Rates - Auto Loan Payoff Calculator Negotiating a Good Deal After you've decided on a truck and you've secured financing, it's time to start shopping. To get the best deal, you'll need to speak to several dealerships about your truck. Compare like vehicles, and don't be afraid to tell the dealer what kind of deal you're looking for. If one seller has a price that's significantly lower, give the others a chance to beat it. Eventually, one truck will emerge as the best deal. Keep the following negotiating tips in mind: - Don't talk to the dealer about your trade-in. It has nothing to do with the price of the truck. - Be careful to remain neutral about specific vehicles. If you keep your heart out of the negotiations, you'll get the best deal, and you'll have plenty of time to fall in love with your new truck later. - Keep financing discussions separate from the truck's purchase price. - After you've agreed on a price, ask the dealer to throw in one or two options, such as floor mats or mudguards. After the Purchase After you've signed the papers to buy your Toyota truck, you'll need to do a few more things: - Get the title transferred to you. You can do this at your local Department of Motor Vehicles or Secretary of State's Office. - Insure your truck. Shop around to get the best rates on insurance. - Pay any sales tax, and register your vehicle. This includes getting a license plate for your truck. It sometimes seems that nothing is simple when it comes to car buying, but you'll find that buying Toyota trucks is an easy process if you know how to do your research.
An economic index is a number that is calculated from different economic factors, like prices or income. These numbers are calculated to be able to compare different economies in different countries. An example for such an index would be the Gross Domestic Product (or GDP). Usually, the base is given a value of 100 and all later data is expressed in relation to this base. For example, the consumer price index (CPI) of a year might stand at 95 (a fall of 5 percent in the prices) or 105 (an increase of 5 percent in the prices). Indexes (indices) also measure up and down movement of industrial production, and of the market prices of bonds, commodities, shares, etc. Economic indicators

A converter is a chemical reactor which turns raw iron into steel. Raw iron called pig iron which is the product of blast furnace, contains up to 4% of carbon. It is too hard and brittle for meaningful use. The carbon must first be burned off the iron to produce steel. This process is called conversion and the reactor a converter. The first converter was invented by Sir Henry Bessemer in 1856. He built a pear-shaped large vessel with nozzles (tuyeres) for air in the bottom. Hot molten pig iron from blast furnace was poured in the converter, and then air was pumped in at the bottom with high pressure. The result was a loud noise and a flame of up to 20 metres off the mouth of the converter. After ten minutes all the pig iron had become steel. The Bessemer converter was the first successful reactor on converting pig iron into steel, and the era of steel began. Steel was now plentiful and cheap. However, steel becomes better if only oxygen is blown in. Air contains nitrogen, which is harmful for some steel grades. A modern converter called basic oxygen furnace uses pure oxygen instead of air. It was invented 1949 in Austria. The modern basic oxygen converter is a large pumpkin-shape vessel which is made from steel and lined with refractories such as calcium oxide and magnesium oxide line so the vessel can withstand the high temperature of molten metal. Molten pig iron and scrap are loaded in the converter. The scrap usually is rusty and contains oxygen, so some of the rust reacts with the pig iron, burning the carbon away and creating heat which melts the scrap. Once all scrap has melted, a special pipe called "oxygen lance" is lowered in the pig iron, and a very fast and sharp blow of oxygen is blasted in. The oxygen burns all the carbon away and mixes the liquid steel thoroughly. Once all carbon has been burned away, some extra carbon is inserted to raise the contents to desired level. The result is liquid steel, which is then tapped away and taken to rolling mill to produce steel products. Industries

Brisk fall weather goes by many names. To some, it’s known as “cuffing season.” To others, it’s “pumpkin spice time.” To me it’s “panic-about-Thanksgiving o’clock,” but it’s also “roast season”—my favorite time of year. Don’t get me wrong; this time of year could just as easily be called “soup season,” but a warm and tender, falling apart mass of roasted meat is more comforting than any bowl of liquid could ever be. Chuck roasts are great, but pork shoulders have recently been starring in my dreams. Due to the amount of time needed to braise a big chunk of fatty meat, roasts of this nature are not usually considered weeknight fare, but applying a little pressure with the Instant Pot gets this thing on the table in a little over an hour. Like the Mississippi Roast, this has a lot of flavor and few ingredients. Besides the Instant Pot, our secret weapon in this recipe is a jar of kimchi. The fermented, tangy, salty cabbage mixture gives the roast its character, so you only need three other ingredients to make this crazy tasty pile of falling-apart pork with a sweet and salty, slightly funky sauce. To make it tonight, you will need: - 1 3-4 pound pork shoulder - 1/2 cup soy sauce - 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile) - 1 14-ounce jar of kimchi - 1 cup brown sugar Cut the shoulder, going against the grain, into two equal pieces and season them with salt. Turn the Instant Pot on by pressing “Sauté,” then use the “Adjust” button to change the setting to “More.” Once the display reads “Hot,” sear the pieces of pork, one at a time, until they are browned all over. Remove all meat from the insert, press “Cancel,” then add the soy sauce and vinegar, scraping up all those lovely burnt bits with a wooden spoon. Place the pork back in the insert, then cover with the kimchi and brown sugar. Close the pot, make sure the release valve is set to “Sealing,” then press “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” and select a cooking time of 20 minutes per pound. (For my three and a half pound roast, I went with 70 minutes.) Use this free time to make a side dish, or have a warming bath. Once the cooking time has elapsed, press “Cancel,” manually release the pressure, open the Instant Pot, and remove all the meat and cabbage with tongs. (This will be a challenge because the meat will fall apart with a mere glance.) If you wish to make a sauce, press the “Sauté” button and let the pan juices reduce into a thick and shiny glaze. Pile the meat high on potatoes or rice, use it in tacos or lettuce wraps, or throw it in some ramen. Drizzle on the glaze, and consume in your most comfortable, cozy clothing.

A Joint initiative brings together touch and Donner Sang Compter to Raise Awareness about Blood Donation. 15 “blood drives” to benefit 1800 patients in need of blood. Beirut, January 11, 2017: touch, the leading mobile provider in Lebanon, managed by Zain Group, partnered with Donner Sang Compter (DSC), a Lebanese Non-Governmental Organization that tackles the blood donation issue, and launched a joint Corporate Social Responsibility campaign “دمّك اغلى هدية” for the month of December, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of blood donation. Until this day, human blood has had no substitute and constitutes the most precious gift of all. Especially to those who desperately need it, blood is a gift of life. Blood banks in Lebanon suffer from constant shortages in terms of blood stocks, and patients’ families have to search for donors to secure the needed components for treatments/surgeries. A “Blood Drive” is the concept of transporting all needed equipment and personnel to conduct blood donation campaigns outside the blood banks. Such activity gives the chance for people to voluntarily donate their blood at public locations under safe conditions, and consequently raise the stocks of blood at local blood banks. For that reason, touch and Donner Sang Compter hosted 15 blood drives which were conducted throughout the month of December in partnership with 10 blood banks, where people were encouraged to donate voluntarily their blood and become regular blood donors. This went a long way in increasing the supply of blood units which are immensely needed to cater to Lebanese society’s yearly demand. Involving its own staff as part of its internal volunteering program, the kickoff event took place at touch headquarters to resume throughout the month of December in various locations including City Mall Dora, Beirut Souks, USJ – North Campus and Beit El Fan in Tripoli. These were done in collaboration with 10 hospitals including the American University of Beirut’s Medical Center, Centre Hospitalier du Nord, Hopital Haykel, Hotel-Dieu de France, Chronic Care Center, Bellevue Medical Center, Lebanese Canadian Hospital, Keserwan Medical Center/Centre Hospitalier du Nord, Centre Hospitalier De Bhannes and Al Zahraa University Hospital. Commenting on this campaign, Lara Haddad, Vice Chairman at touch, said, “The main objective of this project is to promote positive citizenship through our CSR program “Positive touch”. The program works towards fostering a healthy society as well as a culture of shared values. We congratulate DSC on their outstanding efforts in raising a culture of blood donation in Lebanon. After all, blood and blood elements play a central role in everyday medical care especially in major surgeries and critical life-saving procedures.” Yorgui Teyrouz, the founder and president of DSC, acknowledges that “such collaborations contribute towards achieving the vision of responsible citizenship, where voluntary blood donation becomes part of our culture. Similar to the initiative taken by touch, we encourage both private and public sectors to play big influential roles in raising awareness about this forgotten cause”. The 15 scheduled blood drives, which took place between the 13th till the 30th of December, welcomed thousands of visitors and collected remarkable number of blood units. Every blood unit is processed and divided into three components. Since each component can help a different patient, the total number of direct beneficiaries was 1800 patients, a mind blowing achievement this holidays’ season.

Absolute zero is the temperature at which the particles of matter (molecules and atoms) are at their lowest energy points. Some might think that at absolute zero particles lose all energy and stop moving. This is not correct. In quantum physics there is something called zero point energy, which means that even after all the energy from particles has been removed, the particles still have some energy. This is due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, which states that the more that is known about a particle's position, the less that can be known about its momentum, and vice versa. Therefore, a particle cannot be completely stopped because then its exact position and momentum would be known. Some people have created temperatures very close to absolute zero: the record temperature was 100 pK (one hundred picokelvin, equal to 10-10 kelvin) above absolute zero. Even getting close to absolute zero is difficult because anything that touches an object being cooled near absolute zero would give heat to the objects. Scientists use lasers to slow atoms when cooling objects to very low temperatures. The kelvin and Rankine temperature scales are defined so that absolute zero is 0 kelvin (K) or 0 degrees Rankine (degR). The Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are defined so that absolute zero is -273.15 degC or -459.67 degF. At this stage the pressure of the particles is zero. If we plot a graph to it, we can see that the temperature of the particles is zero. The temperature cannot go down any further. Also, the particles cannot move in "reverse" either because as the movement of particles is vibration, vibrating in reverse would be nothing but simply vibrating again. The closer the temperature of an object gets to absolute zero, the less resistive the material is to electricity therefore it will conduct electricity almost perfectly, with no measurable resistance. The Third Law of Thermodynamics says that nothing can ever have a temperature of absolute zero. The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that all engines that are powered by heat (like car engines and steam train engines) must release waste heat and can not be 100% efficient. This is because the efficiency (percent of energy the engine uses up that is actually used to do the engine's job) is 100%x(1-Toutside/Tinside), which only is 100% if the outside temperature is absolute zero which it cannot be. So, an engine cannot be 100% efficient, but you can make its efficiency closer to 100% by making the inside temperature hotter and/or the outside temperature colder.

A limited number of fibroscans, which are non-invasive liver scans, will also be available on the day, supported by clinicians from Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust’s Royal Albert Edward Infirmary. Professor Kate Ardern, director for public health at Wigan Council, said: “It’s easy to think that a few drinks won’t make a difference to your health but when it’s added to an unhealthy diet and little exercise it can all take a strain on your liver. So why not come down next week to take a test and pick up some helpful advice on how to help reduce your risk from serious conditions. I’ve taken the test myself and it’s quick, simple and a great way to check the condition of your liver. “There is also a wealth of support out there for anyone who feels they or someone they know may be drinking too much from our HealthyRoutes on the High Street stores too.” For those unavailable to attend, the British Liver Trust has developed an online screener that acts as an early warning system. The screener takes five minutes to complete and is available at. The screenings will take place at Healthy Routes on the High Street on Crompton Street, Wigan on Monday and Healthy Routes on the High Street on Bradshawgate in Leigh on Wednesday. Both sessions run from 10am to 4pm, there is no need to book and the scans will be offered on a first come, first served basis. The HealthyRoutes service can support people to quit smoking, drink less, be more active and eat more healthily through one to one support. Call 01942 489012 or text HUB to 61825 for more details.

The body of Elisa Lam, also known by her Cantonese name, Lam Ho Yi (; April 30, 1991 - February 2013), a Canadian student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Her body was discovered from a water tank at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles on February 19, 2013. She had been reported missing at the beginning of the month. Maintenance workers at the hotel discovered the body when investigating guest complaints of problems with the water supply. The circumstances of Lam's death, once she was found, also raised questions, especially in light of the Cecil's history in relation to other notable deaths and murders. Her body was naked with most of her clothes and personal effects floating in the water near her. The autopsy showed that her death was by accident.

J.P. Morgan analyst Mark Moskwitz believes the world of technology will have winners and losers after the debut of the iPhone 5. The smartphone’s new battery, longer display and form factor are thought to represent major challenges for competitors, he writes. Combined with the 4G LTE capabilities the handset is expected to come with, these aspects will have a negative effect on other phone makers who don’t offer the same performance and will be forced to catch up with the new standards to remain competitive. In addition, the PC industry could also be affected as the iPhone 5 will “sustain the land grab of smartphones taking IT dollars from PCs, dampening PC-related growth prospects at Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and other PC makers,” Moskwitz writes. However, the analyst also predicts benefits for various companies on the market following the release of the new iPhone. Apple component suppliers like Fairchild Semiconductor, Qualcomm and Avago are likely to see advantages coming from the debut of the device as there will likely be a strong demand after its release. Benefits of the iPhone 5 will also come to LG Display, which is said to supply in-cell touchscreen panels, Samsung Electronics, which s responsible for Apple’s custom processors, and LG Innotek, which is rumored to be the supplier of camera modules. However, the new iOS 6 Maps application is seen as ill-fated for GPS service providers TeleNav, TeleCommunication Systems, and Garmin. Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 5 on Wednesday at a media event starting at 10 a.m. Pacific, 1 p.m. Eastern.

The AA has developed a new app that promises to be a fun way to improve eco driving techniques, helping you reduce fuel costs and become an Eco Drive Hero. Best of all, it's totally free. Read on for more info : *********************************************************** Eco costs are making many motorists look at their driving habits. According to a recent AA/Populus poll, 76 per cent of motorists are both cutting down on the number of car journeys and cutting back on other expenditure such as eating out or the weekly shop due to rising fuel costs. The AA Eco Driving App will help you monitor your driving style to reduce fuel consumption and all with an element of fun thrown in that your family and friends can get involved with. The driver starts by selecting the vehicle, or mode of transport, that best matches their own ranging from van, super mini, saloon, bicycle to even a pair of trainers if walking or running each of which is represented by a quirky cartoon style image. The app is activated at the beginning of the journey and will monitor your driving and display to passengers how economically you are driving. Even if the phone is used during the journey the monitoring will continue. At the end of the journey an Eco Rating will be awarded for the journey depending on how economically you have driven. This score is saved and can be used to compare subsequent journeys to see how well you are improving over time. To encourage you to continually improve your driving techniques, it is not just the Eco rating you will receive. Along the way it is possible to win awards for a variety of skills or landmarks passed. The awards include the Continuum Award for completing a journey of at least 10 miles without stopping, the Novice Award for using the app on five journeys up to the Hero Award for using the app on 1,000 journeys, county awards for each county visited and awards for passing key landmarks such as the Mersey Tunnel, Clifton Suspension Bridge or even the AA's own Head Office in Basingstoke. For the lazy motorist there is even a "Shanks's Pony" award, for journeys using a car when you could have walked. To show your friends and family how well you are doing you can share the results through a link to Facebook where you can also challenge others to see if they can do better. AA President, Edmund King said, "With diesel prices just 1p below the record we are encouraging drivers to have fun and save money. With this new app users will be able to learn new techniques to help improve their eco driving skills.' The AA Eco Driving App will prove, at last, that eco driving can be a fun way to reduce fuel costs and introduce safer driving techniques. The new AA Eco Driving App is available for free from iTunes and the Android store. for more information : Other blogposts you may be interested in : Reducing fuel cost is a brill idea Whats Happening i am new to this, I stumbled upon this I have discovered It positively helpful and it has helped me out loads. I hope to contribute & aid different customers like its helped me. Great job. Daystar KU71090BK 11.25" Extended 7" Collapsed Universal Stinger Bump Stop - Pack of 2 anything that helps reduce fuel costs has to be good! I like the idea of anything that helps me be more eco friendly but to be honest I can't understand how a phone app can calculate how economically I'm driving. It surely can't see how smoothly I drive. Do you have to enter things like whether the air con is switched on or the windows are open? I understand how it could calculate average speeds but I just don't get how that alone converts into economical driving. Mind you, I'm a much more eco friendly driver now than I used to be. A couple of years ago I had a convertable mini and used to drive everywhere with the top down so my fuel consumption was astronomical. Particularly as I'd frequently be bombing up and down motorways with my top off (if you get my drift ;-) I'm much more eco friendly now with a sensible little family car, no roaring around like a mad woman and just tootling around when I really can't avoid going to the supermarket any longer. So I guess I don't really need an app to tell me I've improved my eco driving skills :-) I do miss the mini on nice days though....but the thought of poor little Daisy being blown around in the back seat with the roof off makes me giggle (I know, I know, I'm just nasty!) Handy and sounds very useful :-) I do love technology sometimes :-) x I really like the concept of it - and even more when a good concept is free! I could see this App getting addictive!

From P.J.: I don't have a simple definition of an "authentic" problem, but here are two examples from the last couple of weeks. Though quite different from each other, both problems generated intense discussion and a variety of ideas. I don't have a simple definition of an "authentic" problem, but here are two examples from the last couple of weeks. Though quite different from each other, both problems generated intense discussion and a variety of ideas. Students entering my Geometry classes on Tuesday were confronted by a string running from the top-north-west corner of the room to the bottom-south-east corner, bearing a pink sign with the words "How long is the string?" Even students who ordinarily sit back were up and about, measuring, arguing, and figuring out a way to determine the length of the string. They extended the Pythagorean theorem to find diagonals of three-dimensional boxes, discussed their formula's validity, and had a great time. The week before, we started our lesson with a problem I found in a samizdat geometry book from Germany (any reference would be appreciated--my copy of a copy of a copy has no title page or publication markings of any kind). Compute the area of the trapezoid, if A is the center of the circle. Although totally abstract, this problem was also fruitful. It took students a while to draw in the radii: Then more questions started: what's the length of EF? Does it matter? Is EAF a right triangle, and how can we be sure? Ultimately, our discussion led us to Garfield's proof of the Pythagorean Theorem, #5 here. These stories have two morals. First, to grab students' attention, problems must be challenging and doable. But (second), those problems don't need to be "real-world" or "applications:" kids can get excited about figuring things out, even when what they're figuring out is "just" a math problem. What do you all think? What are your favorite problems? What made them valuable? Share links in the comments or email them to us directly.
Doniphan County (county code DP) is a county in the U.S. state of Kansas. In 2010 census, 7,945 people lived there. Its county seat is Troy. Its biggest city is Wathena.

In probability theory and statistics, the variance is a way to measure how far a set of numbers is spread out. Variance describes how much a random variable differs from its expected value. The variance is defined as the average of the squares of the differences between the individual (observed) and the expected value. This means that it is always positive. A variance is often represented by the symbol , if the data is the entire population, and , if the data is from a sample. In practice, variance is a measure of how much something changes. For example, temperature has more variance in Moscow than in Hawaii. The variance is not simply the average difference from the expected value. The standard deviation, which is the square root of the variance and comes closer to the average difference, is also not simply the average difference. Variance and standard deviation are used because it makes the mathematics easier--when adding two random variables together. In accountancy, a variance refers to the difference between the budget for a cost, and the actual cost. History Karl Pearson, the father of biometry, first used the term variance as follows:"It is here attempted to (show) the biometrical properties of a population of a more general type that has (..) been examined, inheritance in which follows this scheme. It is hoped that in this way it will be possible to make a more exact analysis of the causes of human variability. The great body of available statistics shows us that the deviations of a human measurement from its mean follow very closely the Normal Law of Errors, and that therefore, the variablility may be uniformly measured by the standard deviation, corresponding to the square root of the mean square error."

The biggest differentiating factor will be the fact that the taxes will be imposed where the goods are consumed and not from its production hub. At present, many goods are produced in many states and consumed in many states. As these goods move from the point of origin to their final destination for consumption, many taxes have to be paid. The taxes are different in different states. For instance, goods produced and consumed in the same state have a 5 per cent value added tax (VAT) whereas goods produced in one state and consumed in another state will have central sales tax (CST) of 2 per cent. Same is the case in services, where there is service tax and VAT which is levied. These rates vary from 12 per cent to 26 per cent based on the source and destination of consumption. Under GST, it is proposed to bring a uniform tax rate, maybe 18 per cent which will benefit producers, distributors and consumers alike. From the consumer point of view, the biggest advantage would be in terms of a reduction in the overall tax burden on goods, free movement of goods from one state to another without stopping at state borders for hours for payment of state tax or entry tax and reduction in paperwork MULTIPLE TAXES ELIMINATED With the Goods and Services Tax coming in, Central-level taxes like Sales Tax, Excise Duty, and state-level taxes like Value-added Tax (VAT), Entertainment Tax and Luxury Tax will be subsumed.The goods and services tax (GST) is expected to reduce prices by eliminating multiple levies, but price of certain prod ucts may, however, increase. Currently, there are differential rates of VAT for the same goods in different states with further fragmentation, the same is likely to bring down the disputes. MANY SECTORS TO BENEFIT The GST Council has approved a four-tier uniform tax slab of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent on goods and services, plus an additional cess on demerit goods such as luxury cars, aerated drinks and tobacco products. There is expected to be huge savings for manufacturing, logistics, retail companies who in turn can pass on the benefit to consumers. Vehicle prices are also expected to come down. As per the current structure, tax levied on small cars is around 28 per cent and on midsized cars is around 39 per cent. This tax eventually adds up to the value of the product. With VAT, Service Tax and other taxes being eliminated cost of all cars and bikes could come down. In fact, the current proposed GST stands at 18 per cent, and if that is implemented, the result will be a massive reduction in car prices. The vehicle prices are expected to be more affordable and thus will create demand. Export of goods or services will be treated as Zero-rated supplies, therefore, GST will not be charged on the export of goods or services. The credit on inputs used for making export supplies will be available to the exporter. The exporters have two options, either to export goods under Bond and claim refund of input credit or to export goods under rebate claim and claim the refund of output tax The Compensation GST Bill will provide compensation to states for the loss of revenue they may incur owing to implementation of the Goods and Services Tax. The new tax system will also benefit small and medium businesses to access credit. As GST filings are set to become a significant data source for flowbased lending, both banks and digital lending entrepreneurs find GST filings to be a good source of information to lend to small businesses with reduced risks and cost cuts.Food inflation is expected to get lower with GST. As, so far, both the tax-payer and the consumer paid levies on the sale of produce, to both the state and the centre, which lead to increase in the prices of commodities. Under GST all agriculture products like, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and food grains, etc.including dairy and poultry will be on zero duty and are expected it be cheaper for the end user. It shall lead to an increased demand and benefit the famers too. [adrotate banner=”3″]
