When you have two powerhouse teams going head to head for a spot in the Champions League semi-final, you often find that the match-up can turn in the favor of one team in a single moment. That may have come in the first leg of this quarter-final. Already up a goal, Artuto Vida had a chance to make it 2-0 for Bayern Munich via the penalty spot, but he missed. You could almost feel the air go out of the stadium, and it got quieter still when Cristiano Ronaldo got the vital away goal 2 minutes into the second half. Munich ended the game with 10 men after a red card on the 60-minute mark, and they also ended the game a goal down, with Ronaldo adding a second goal later in the game. With a 2-1 lead heading home, you would believe that the men from Madrid should have this one in the bag, but let’s not forget that this is a very talented Bayern Munich side that may be back at full strength on Tuesday night. Find out more about the latest soccer betting predictions here.
The debate will almost always rage as to whether Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi was the best player of this generation. I am in the Ronaldo corner, simply because he always seems to step up in the big games, just as he did in the opening leg of this match-up. He should be more than ready to go on Tuesday night after being rested over the weekend, a game that Real Madrid still won 3-2 to place an even firmer grip on the La Liga title. Madrid do not have to come out and go at Munich in order to move on, but they are certainly equipped to get the early goal that would essentially kill this tie. With Bayern Munich forced to attack, gaps will appear at the back that can be exposed by Ronaldo and company.
Bayern Munich seemed to be still experiencing a little bit of a first leg hangover on the weekend, putting in a lackluster performance versus Bayer Leverkusen in a 0-0 draw. While that result was not the best, Munich are still very much on pace to pick up yet another Bundesliga crown. They are also not out of this tie, and are sure to get a boost from the expected return of Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has returned to training after an injury, and is expected to be in the line-up on Tuesday. When you are entering a game in dire need of goals, it certainly a boost to have your main man back in the fold.
Bayern Munich will come out and have a go, but giving up that second goal in the first leg has left them with too much to do on the road. They will fall a little short, I believe.

Roulez Media is very pleased to announce Hero Film Festival & Awards, a quarterly film awards and annual screening festival for short and feature length films. Based out of the largest military community on the East Coast, Hampton Roads of Virginia, the international festival recognizes depictions of heroes on screen that inspire and set the example for future generations.
Selected films from each quarterly competition advance to annual awards and screening in the festival’s hub of Portsmouth-Norfolk-Virginia Beach, Virginia. Film juries consist of actual everyday heroes from law enforcement, firefighting, branches of the military, victim advocacy and other community service fields, along with known filmmakers.
The festival is an effort to inspire filmmakers to remain conscious of how pop culture influences and even shapes our world. Through the power of film, we hope to help more people realize their own power to do the right things for our fellow man. We also hope to encourage greater diversity in these fields of work, such as enticing more young women into law enforcement.
From the personal experience of working on Roulez Media’s own film, Escaping Fed, and through its associated victimization, we learned life lessons about how hard it can be to find a hero when one is so desperately needed. We know some things need to change for law enforcement and other areas of our community, for a level playing field for all of our people.
As we looked to our own skill sets for how we can help bring this change, over 35 years of marketing combined with years of commercial, television and film work for our team to contribute to society within our fields of work. We considered producing an episodic series for awhile, to answer to our need to bring a silver lining to our recent experience. But the festival was a much better fit at this time and for our future. We may still consider episodic work or other projects. But we know we are at the right place and time for Hero Film Festival & Awards.
Hero Film Festival & Awards (HFFA) is our alternative to projecting anger, fighting the status quo, or picketing for change after our years-long, difficult journey. Art mimics life and art can influence life in many ways. That is our hope here, with the festival.
The first quarterly awards for HFFA take place in September 2019. They continue every three months, with the annual awards and screenings taking place each March.
We all need a hero at some time in our lives. So we look to a future where such heroism is less of an anomaly and more mainstream.
Below is the promotional trailer for Roulez Media’s Hero Film Festival & Awards. Filmmakers are encouraged to visit the festival’s website at HeroFilmFest.org and to submit works through Film Freeway.

Sport arenas have become more of an experience. In a family, a son might want to go to a football game to take a picture with his favorite player. Friends can hang out at great restaurants nearby the stadium. Or companies can use the VIP Lounges on a day without games.
The goal is to attract the most amount of people and help them enjoy their time at the event, either with the sport or any other event, and as a result the rise of the teams incomes. This change means that play must be moved from the field to a facility.
In the United States and Europe, some leagues/teams are orientating their business so that larger number of fans go to the stadiums and enjoy the experience outside the of the game and for a longer time.
San Francisco 49ers new arena, Levi’s Stadium, is just beautiful, featuring Wi-Fi system with more than 400 miles of optical fibre and cable to allow data transmission with a speed of 40GB per second and more than 1.200 Wi-Fi access points for fans.
Teams are also creating encompassing apps. For example, the 49ers created two special Apps for this year’s Super bowl. These apps were, Road to 50 and Super 50 Stadium App (both for iOS and Android devices).
The app mentioned first had all the information surrounding the sport (video, images, highlights…) so that fans would not miss any of the action. The second appl was designed for the spectators at the stadium to have 2.000 beacon points to know their location in the stadium map or buy products or food in the nearest shops inside the facility.
HD Screens are also placed in arenas, to give better information and entertainment, as well as an attractive commercial option for advertisers and sponsors, for example at Azteca stadium in Mexico.
There are also corporate websites created exclusively for the stadiums and that are independent to the clubs that own them, to give a more information on their services. An example is Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich’s famous stadium.
Entertaining, making the spectators the centre of attention, creating contests such as the famous kiss-cam, or exclusive spaces such as a Valencia’s CF recent action in which they converted a car in an exclusive VIP Lounge, or even preparing activities for the youngest fans (such as videogames). All of these are just examples that help fans to enjoy their experience, such as Texas Rangers do in the MLB.
In the end, arenas have become more than a place to just watching sporting events at. The development of new technologies will be the best way of attracting fans to the stadium and allowing them to enjoy and share their experiences, which will bring new business opportunities for teams.

I am the kind of girl who is so keen on recycling that in my shared flat in Lyon, I was sorting my flatmates’ waste. And I found other people that were as crazy as I am about waste at TerraCycle, or less, maybe less crazy. And they are not all French, they come from all over Europe!
To be honest, before searching for green companies on Google, I had never heard of TerraCycle. But when I came across the TerraCycle (France) website, I was very impressed by the company. I didn’t know that this kind of green company existed: A company that is able to find a solution for any type of waste, and that is not only doing B2B, but also B2C. Zero Waste Boxes attracted me the most, because they were so different from one another and still, one company was able to handle them all.
Then I looked at the free recycling programmes (there are quite a few in France) and I was shocked to see that big companies (Materne, BIC, etc) were working with TerraCycle to find a solution for their waste. I have always believed that it was not fair that as a consumer, I felt guilty to buy a snack not for the fact that it is not healthy (snacks are good for mental health), but for the fact that it produces waste that would never be recycled… And it turns out that some big companies, like the biscuit company St Michel, was offering a solution to recycle their waste! I was so happy to learn this.
So all in all, many different things affected my decision to apply for an internship.
I would say that the first thing I learned from TerraCycle is to drastically reduce my waste. After a few weeks working at TerraCycle, I realized that I could not continue consuming the way I was. Sorting my waste was peanuts in comparison to all the things I could do for the environment. And since I was working with social media, I had to find relevant articles, videos, and facts about waste management. So through my research, I found interesting testimonials and eco-friendly alternatives to products that were not recycled in the traditional waste system. So I decided to buy those products instead of what I used to buy and to buy less things in general.
Professionally, I also learned a lot. It was my first internship, so I did not know what to expect. I learnt to be patient, because your manager or your colleagues are working on many other projects at the same time, so you cannot expect them to reply to your email within an hour. I also realized that it was important to be careful with all the emails I was sending or the comments and posts I was publishing on Social Media.
Another thing I discovered was that we could have a lot of fun in a company, while still being productive. I really liked the moments in the day when suddenly, you heard someone opening his drawer or someone charging his nerf gun. And you knew, that there would soon be a shooting. And after the short shooting, everything would go back to normal, everyone would focus on work again, as if nothing had happened.
I also really liked the fact that we come from different European countries and so, we could switch from one language to another. Our company embodies perfectly the diversity of London in that sense.
What is your favourite thing about the TerraCycle office?
I would say the two floors, because every morning I get to do some exercise: In total I think that I climb the stairs at least 6 times (there must be more than 30 steps). Imagine how fit I was at the end of my internship!
What is your best advice for future, aspiring TerraCycle interns?
One single advice would be: Show them that you are good at making coffee! No, I’m joking. What I would say is that if you are truly interested in eco-friendly businesses, this is definitely THE place to be. So look at the TerraCycle website to know what we are doing. And then, if you get an interview just be yourself, be passionate, show them the part of you that wants to change the world!

Sharia isn't the only kind of religious law that permits child brides. Until 1929 Church of England ministers could marry 12-year-olds in Britain. And until 1983 a quiet loophole in Catholic canon law permitted priests to marry off brides of 12, as well. Now the minimum age allowed by the Vatican for young girls to marry is 14.
"Sunday Times front page story on ‘Islamic child brides’ ", Engage, 2012-09-12.
8. This loophole in Canon Law was used to permit 12-year-old child brides in Quebec before the "Quiet Revolution" of the 1960s began the secularisation of the province..
"Civil Marriage", Catholic Encyclopedia, 1914 http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09691b.htm "The minimum age for marriage in the Province of Quebec is fourteen for males and twelve for females."

One of my very favorite quick treats is my homemade, healthy, easy chocolate recipe. It’s so easy. Like 2 minutes easy.
Plus it’s the best tasting chocolate I’ve ever had. Seriously. If you read the comments, I’m not alone in thinking this.
Did you know chocolate (real chocolate made from cacao) is one of nature’s best sources of antioxidants? Chocolate even trumps the acai, pomegranate, cranberry and blueberry in polyphenol content (polyphenols protect the body from chronic disease) and antioxidant capacity!
But anyway, many of you know that I’m super obsessed with anything pumpkin this time of year. Give me ALL the pumpkin!!! If you are like me, you’ve got to check out my top 25 favorite paleo pumpkin recipes. Love.
So I did what any pumpkin obsessed girl would do and fancied up my favorite chocolate recipe with some pumpkin spiced goodness!
I made these chocolate bites with tiny pieces of Autumn color and flavor in every bite. Total perfection, if I don’t say so myself!
In a bowl, combine all chocolate ingredients until well mixed and smooth.
Spoon out 12 circles (about a teaspoon or two each of chocolate) over the parchment paper.
Press 1 pecan in the middle of each chocolate. Gently press the remaining toppings in the chocolate.
Sprinkle pumpkin spice over the chocolates.
Are you sick of pumpkin yet or are you pumpkin obsessed, too? Let me know and then make these and let me know how you like them!

Khosla Ventures, the firm of influential venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, is raising a new $ 1.05 billion fund — Khosla Ventures IV — according to an SEC filing. The filing comes just a little over a year since the firm closed on $ 1.3 billion for two funds: Khosla Ventures III and Khosla Ventures Seed Fund. A sizable portion of these two funds are being spent on cleantech startups, including biofuel, energy storage, and clean power companies.
I’ve reached out to Khosla Ventures for more details on the fourth fund and am waiting to hear back. According to the filing, Khosla Ventures hasn’t yet raised any of the funds for this fourth fund. Raising a fund of this size takes many months, if not a year.
These two funds were one of the first times Vinod Khosla turned to external investors, and he was previously largely using his own funds to invest in startups (quite unusual for a VC). I would guess that Khosla Ventures IV will be similar to Khosla Ventures III: a more traditional venture capital fund. Previous limited partners that have invested in Khosla’s funds have been Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates.
Khosla has had a couple of exits in recent months that have made some of the fund’s investments back. Two of Khosla’s biofuel portfolio companies — Amyris and Gevo — had successful IPOs, and a third, KiOR, has filed for a $ 100 million IPO. Khosla Ventures has invested in over a dozen biofuel companies.
Khosla Ventures has made some of the most high-profile, and risky, bets in cleantech, but it also invests in web and mobile companies, too. While some generalist venture investors are backing out of cleantech, it looks like the firms that have had some success are doubling down. Peter Rothstein, president of the New England Clean Energy Council and a former investor at Flagship Ventures, told Mass High Tech that the cleantech specific firms might be smaller and fewer but that they’re doing more deals. Some firms are also looking to raise large funds to do later stage and growth investments in cleantech, including Silver Lake’s new Kraftwerk fund, which is reportedly also going to be of a similar size to Khosla’s new fund at around $ 1 billion.

The Super Max™ 12885 DE is Daimer's most powerful diesel pressure washer, offering the same heating options and 5 GPM flow rate as the 12880 DE with astoundingly high pressure levels of 3500 psi. Tri-mode temperature functionality expands the machine's functionality by offering cold water, hot water, and steam temperature options. This machine is capable of reaching steam temperatures as high as 330°F. The Super Max™ 12885 DE is ideal for operators requiring a machine for outdoor applications where a source of electricity may not be available, and for those who prefer diesel to gasoline.
The Super Max™ 12885 DE is Daimer's most powerful diesel pressure washer, offering the same heating options and 5 GPM flow rate as the 12880 DE with astoundingly high pressure levels of 4000 psi. Tri-mode temperature functionality expands the machine's functionality by offering cold water, hot water, and steam temperature options. This machine is capable of reaching steam temperatures as high as 330°F. The Super Max™ 12885 DE is ideal for operators requiring a machine for outdoor applications where a source of electricity may not be available, and for those who prefer diesel to gasoline.
Daimer Industries® has a continued dedication to providing the most technologically advanced, powerful pressure washers in the industry. To correspond to this devotion to continuous growth, Daimer® has introduced a line of Super Max™ diesel pressure washers for mobile commercial and industrial users.
Diesel pressure washers do not rely on electricity either to power or to heat the machine. As such, they are not tied down by the requirement of use in proximity to an electrical supply. In fact, they can be used in remote applications where electricity may not be present, or where a transporting a generator may not be feasible. In addition, use of a diesel pressure washer minimizes risk of operators and others in the area tripping over power cords, as no cords are required for use.
Of course, superior mobility is a premier benefit of diesel pressure washers. However, their operation without electricity does require the combustion of diesel fuel. This process generates exhaust. Ultimately, this means you cannot use these machines indoors where ventilation is not sufficient.
To this extent, Daimer® has introduced Long Hose Technology included within each Super Max™ diesel pressure washer. This helpful feature ensures optimal performance and power, even when pressure hoses up to 300 feet in length are used. As such, Long Hose Technology enables operators to use their diesel pressure washer for interior applications, as the system can be placed outdoors or in an exhaust safe environment while long pressure hoses are used to reach the given application.
Power of these diesel pressure washers is a combination of super high pressure levels, flow rates, and temperatures. The Super Max™ 12880 DE boasts a pressure level of 3000 psi and a flow rate of 5 GPM, while the 12885DE ensures the same high flow rate with an even higher pressure level of 3500 psi. Both machines are highly capable of blasting away stubborn deposits. But, what sets these systems apart is their use of tri-mode technology.
Each diesel pressure washer offered by Daimer® can operate in cold water, hot water, and steam modes. This multi-functionality offers maximum versatility for virtually any pressure washing application commercial and industrial operators may face. Ultimately, cleaning power increases as temperature increases. Thus, wet steam temperature up to 330°F offer the utmost in cleaning power for degreasing and other demanding industrial applications, while cold water temperatures are sufficient for lighter commercial applications.
For even greater cleaning power, consider pairing your diesel pressure washer with Eco-Green® green chemicals. These unique formulas are comprised of plant-based ingredients, making them readily biodegradable and non-toxic. Despite their safe nature, they are extremely tough on dirt, grease, and a host of other deposits. In fact, Daimer® offers specific green formulas for a range of challenging industrial applications, including: degreasing, concrete cleaning, coil cleaning, tile cleaning, parts washing, truck washing, and more. These green chemicals can be used in conjunction with diesel pressure washers for the highest degree of cleaning power, without the harmful effects of toxic detergents.

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Scientists believe that Earth as we know it is actually composed of two planets which, in the distant past, merged due to a head-on collision that was so violent that it resulted in the formation of our moon.
Prior to this, researchers believed that our Moon was created when a smaller planet referred to as Theia grazed Earth and split up, which resulted in smaller chunks (debris) being sent into space where Earths gravity captured them.
But, if this theory was correct, it would mean that the chemical composition of the moon is different from Earth since our satellite would have been made up mostly of fragments of Theia.
However, after studying moon rock samples brought back by Apollo mission astronauts, scientists from the University of California have discovered that oxygen isotopes are identical to those on Earth.
This suggests that the collision that occurred 4.5 billion years ago between Theia and Earth was so violent that it caused the two planets to meld together forming a new planet, and a chunk of the collision eventually led to the formation of our Moon.
Scientists analyzed seven lunar rocks which were brought back to Earth by the Apollo 12, 15 and 17 missions, and six volcanic rocks of the Earth’s mantle, five from Hawaii and one from Arizona. The study revealed a chemical signature in oxygen atoms which suggest that 99.9% of the oxygen of our planet is O-16, (because each atom has eight protons and eight neutrons).
But scientists also found small amounts of heavier isotopes of oxygen, O-17, which has an extra neutron, and O-18, which has two extra neutrons. Earth, Mars and other planetary bodies in our solar system have a unique relationship of S-17 and S-16, each with a distinctive mark.
Almost two years ago, in 2014, scientists from Germany reported in the Journal Science that our moon has its own unique ratio of oxygen isotopes which differ from those on Earth. However, the new study has found out that this is not the case, changing everything we know about Early Earth and the eventual formation of our moon.
“Theia was thoroughly mixed into both the Earth and the Moon, and evenly dispersed between them.
Scientists believe that the collision between Theia and Earth occurred roughly one hundred million years after our planet formed.
Theia, the planet that collided with early Earth didn’t survive the huge collision, but its remains make up large parts of Earth and our moon. According to Prof Young, Theia was roughly the same size as Earth, while other experts believe it could have been similar in size to Mars.

According to Parks Victoria, Open space is not only for recreation and conservation of environmental and cultural values; it is the foundation of urban liveability. It underpins many social, ecological and economic benefits that are essential to the healthy functioning of the urban environment. Open spaces are especially valuable assets in the built-up northern suburbs. They are recognised as being important for relaxation, health and well-being, and nature conservation.
The importance of physical activity to peoples physical and mental health is being increasingly recognised and documented. Active people are more likely to live longer, have lower risk of heart disease and stroke, and are less likely to suffer stress, anxiety and depression. Open space that is accessible and attractive encourages people to undertake various forms of exercise as part of their daily lives.
Contact with nature is positive for health in terms of recovering from stress, improving concentration and productivity and improving ones psychological state (Maller et al 2002). Open space areas along waterways provide a major opportunity for viewing and experiencing nature in the northern suburbs. Trends towards more intensive development and increased work-related stress indicate a growing need for these green areas of open space.
Parks also play a significant roll in fostering social connectedness, which is important for individual and community well-being.
The twin objectives of providing a habitat corridor following Merri Creek and its tributaries and a high quality linear parkland for primarily informal recreation are objectives which have driven the development of the Merri Creek waterway corridors for three decades.
The protection, enhancement and where possible linkage of the significant riparian vegetation in order to establish a regional wildlife corridor.
Definition and development of a new regional recreational and conservation park in order to meet the recreational needs of Craigieburn, Thomastown and Epping North.
Extending the shared trail northwards initially to Barry Road, but in the longer term as far as Craigieburn Township and Malcolm Creek, as well as closing the gaps in the existing Merri Creek Trail south of the Metropolitan Ring Road.
Melbourne 2030, the State Governments strategy for metropolitan Melbourne aims to continue to protect the liveability of the established areas and to increasingly concentrate major change in strategic redevelopment sites.
Policy 2.2 establishes growth areas on both sides of the Creek the Hume Corridor continues growth north from Craigieburn, and the Epping North Corridor north from Epping.
Policy 5.6 is to improve the quality and distribution of local open space and ensure long-term protection of public open space. It establishes a Parkland Code which encourages planners to ensure that land critical to completion of open space links is transferred to public ownership for open space purposes.
Policy 5.7 to rectify gaps in the network of metropolitan open space by creating new parks and ensure major open space corridors are protected and enhanced. Initiatives listed include reserving land for a new Merri Creek Regional Park, and the extension of the Merri Creek Parklands chain of parks to Craigieburn.
Population is increasing quickly in the outer suburbs. For instance, within the City of Whittlesea, population has increased from 118,292 in 2001 to 132,155 in 2006 and is expected to increase to 154,230 by 2011 and to 199,012 by 2021. The Epping North area, which falls almost entirely within the Edgars Creek sub-catchment of the Merri catchment, and includes the development of Aurora, has increased from 228 in 2001 to 2,568 in 2006 and is expected to increase to 10,145 in 2011 and to 28,960 in 2021.
In the City of Hume, population is increasing at a rate of 1.9% per annum. It is anticipated that by 2011, there will be a further 35,399 people living in Hume beyond the municipalitys 2005 population of 154,213. The Hume Growth area is expected to grow by 52,000 people by 2021.
Urban growth and industrial development in these two municipalities within the Merri catchment will be focussed on the Epping North area in Whittlesea (affecting the Edgars Creek catchment) and the Craigieburn to Mt. Ridley area (affecting the Malcolm Creek catchment and parts of Kalkallo and Merri Creeks).
Population growth and urban expansion are strong reasons why a new regional park is needed in the Merri Catchment.
In addition to the identified urban growth areas, Mitchell Shire (which includes the headwaters of the catchment) is experiencing strong population growth. The Wallan Structure Plan estimates that by 2030 Wallan will have grown from 5411 people in 2006 to 18477 people, an increase of approximately 13,000 people. The open space corridors of Merri Creek and its tributaries form an important recreational resource for residents south of the Great Dividing Range. The parks adjacent to Wallan Creek and Taylors Creek in Wallan already are important recreation areas. Mitchell Shire is preparing a strategy for Taylors Creek which should clarify open space opportunities.
The massive expansion of the urban boundary which might result from the Melbourne @ 5 million investigation may see the population of the Merri catchment skyrocket well beyond the figures mentioned above.
State Government planning for the new Merri Creek Park commenced in 2002, and a draft concept plan was released by Parks Victoria in February 2006. According to Parks Victoria no final concept plan is to be released, but a management plan is being prepared. No formal start had been made to the Parks establishment as of July 2008. Parks Victoria has proposed the name Merri Creek Parklands for the park, however this name is already used for the network of parks south of Mahoneys Road. A Wurundjeri representative has proposed the name Marran baba for the Park, which has been adopted by the MCMC Committee.
All of the Councils in the Catchment have prepared Open Space Strategies. All of these strategies recognise the potential of Creek corridors including the Merri and its tributaries as habitat corridors and recreational parkland. Mitchell Shires strategy foreshadows a possible trail connection from Wallan to the Merri Creek Trail.
Three studies were carried out in 1993 in preparation for the Merri Creek Concept Plan (which evolved into the Merri Creek and Environs Strategy) to help to understand the communitys expectations of the Merri Creek Parklands. Jan Bruce & Associates undertook customer research by surveying 587 residents living within 500m of Merri Creek downstream of Barry Road to ascertain their views on the Creek and surrounding parkland. Context Pty Ltd & Diversity Coalition consulted with young people and culturally and linguistically diverse groups, and Context Pty Ltd & Loder & Bailey Consulting Group examined recreation and access needs.
These reports made a number of recommendations which are discussed (along with other information) in the following sections.
Chapter 4.2 deals with informal and sporting recreation in the Merri catchment Corridor.
Chapter 4.3 deals with the Merri Path and its maintenance and development, and access to parkland.
Chapter 4.4 deals with public safety within the Merri catchment waterway corridors.

This is what it would look like if the Cavs played Duke (except Duke wouldn't even crack 60).
I knew the Bucks were going to scorch the Trailblazers but by 43…DANG!
This 5-out offense of Bud's is a beautiful thing to watch with the length and shooting of this team. They prove you can have the trendy fast pace 3pt shooting but also massive size, rebounding and tons of scoring in the paint. Eating up all of these playoff teams that have gone small over the last few years. GS has no rim protectors or big guys that can match up which you witnessed when they were blown out by the Bucks a few weeks ago – they're really going to miss McGee.
DANG 5:47 — Giannis' Look after that dunk — "What you gonna do? WHAT!"
So beautiful! Man the bucks games is so fun to watch!
CJ is clearly a better player than Damian Lillard. He will score quicker and smarter. Damian is so stupid that a big will set a screen to make it easier for him and he will tell the guy to leave(he can't even play the pick and roll yet).
It's all isolation and 80 dribbles for Damian Lillard. If he couldn't score, he wouldn't even be in the Development League.

Tropical Storm Meari is currently located 331 miles north of Ulithi which is an atoll in the Caroline Islands of the western Pacific Ocean. The storm has tracked northeastward at 7 knots per hour over the past six hours.
Satellite imagery is showing an organized low-level circulation with the system wrapping tightly around itself. The tightly curved banding supports the current tracking forecast with high confidence. The current intensity of the winds in the storm is clocking at 45 to 55 knots. There is also a favorable environment within the storm for further development.
Meari is expected to continue tracking northeastward over the next 48 hours. The vertical wind shear is expected to remain low which will contribute to its steady intensification. The storm is currently forecast to peak in intensity at 85 knots (97 mph). No landmasses are currently being threatened by this storm. After reaching peak intensity Meari will start to weaken and veer northeast.

Durango’s Anthony Hunter showed flashes of brilliance last year, his first season of high school basketball. But even he’d admit it took some time adjusting to a faster speed of play.
Those days are long gone, as evidenced by the 6-foot guard’s sophomore debut Thursday night.
“I felt like this was my coming-out party,” Hunter said.
Hunter scored a game-high 24 points, including his team’s final nine points, to help the seventh-ranked Trailblazers hang on for a 65-64 opening-game victory over host Las Vegas High.
Las Vegas’ Zach Matlock knocked down a contested 3-pointer in the right corner to help the Wildcats overcome a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit and give them a 57-56 lead with 1:58 to go.
But on the ensuing possession, Hunter drilled a 3-pointer at the top of the key to give the Trailblazers the lead and spark a 7-0 run. Hunter scored 13 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter, and received the ball on all of the team’s final possessions. He also had four assists.
After Durango’s full-court pressure forced a turnover, Hunter was quickly fouled and hit 1 of 2 shots to make it 65-62 with 9.1 seconds left. Las Vegas guard Mory Souhamoro missed the tying 3-pointer from deep on the other end before Matlock scored a put-back at the buzzer for the final score.
Jovan Lubura added 17 points and seven rebounds, Vernell Watts had 11 points and Nick Blake had seven points and nine rebounds for Durango.

Chicken broth can be seasoned with specific herbs to make it more savory.
If you use chicken broth to create homemade chicken noodle soup, you can make the soup taste more savory by following a few guidelines that will ensure that the broth is full of flavor and richness. Making a chicken broth savory involves changing the way you bake the chicken, using fresh seasonings, and utilizing the marrow hidden inside the chicken bones. When you serve this savory chicken broth to your loved ones, they will taste how much effort you put into making it.
Wash a whole chicken with water, and remove the innards.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan.
Massage the skin of the chicken with a mixture of butter and olive oil. The combination of butter and olive oil will give the skin of the chicken a rich, savory flavor once cooked.
Chop fresh thyme and basil, and sprinkle the fresh herbs over the skin of the chicken. Fresh herbs will flavor and will add an aromatic taste to the chicken skin.
Sprinkle the skin of the chicken with garlic and onion powders.
Sprinkle salt and cracked pepper over the skin.
Bake the chicken in the roasting pan in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the meat from the chicken, and set it aside in a bowl for later use.
Place the bones of the chicken in between cheesecloth, and hit the bones with a mallet to break them open. This will reveal the bone marrow inside the bones, which will add a richness to the chicken broth once boiled.
Fill a large stock pot with water, then place the broken bones and skin of the chicken into the water.
Boil the chicken parts for 6 hours, refilling the water when needed.
Strain out the bones using a strainer, then strain the broth again using a small colander.

Australians took up ice-hockey at an early date, they built a rink in Melbourne around 1905, a country match against a US navy team was played in 1907 and regular club and state championships have been arranged since 1909. Most Australian speedskaters were reared in such hockey rinks. The Australian skating federation was formed in 1931 and joined the ISU in 1932. Their first international participant was George Kennedy, who entered the olympic games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936 with a 29th place in the 500 m as his best result.
The next Australian to take on the world was Colin Hickey. He went to the OG at Bislett, Oslo 1952 without impressing more than Kennedy had, but from 1955, he travelled regularly to Europe for winter training and improved his results dramatically. Hickey was Australia's first great skater. He qualified for the 10000 m in world championships twice, 1956 and 1959, both in Oslo, both times his result was 11th place overall. In the OG, he has two 7th places from Misurina 1956, and at the world championship 1960, he became the first and as yet only medallist of his country with his 3rd place in the 500 m.
From 1957, speedskating in Australia was organized by the Australian Ice Racing Council, and since then, Australian skaters trying various more or less desperate means to stay alive were regular winter guests at European skating venues. Colin Coates of Melbourne, Victoria, probably is the greatest Australian talent ever. He made his debut at the OG in Grenoble 1968 at about the same competitive level as Kennedy and Hickey at their debuts. He returned 1972 and made his breakthrough the year after with a 13th place in the world championship. He reached the final cut in 7 world championships in a row with a 11th place in 1974 as his best. Twice, he was 4th in the 10000 m, and he scored an olympic point with his 6th place in the same distance at the Innsbruck OG 1976. He made history with his olympic career, which spanned 6 consecutive games, an unique winter-olympic record. In his time, Australia and New Zealand arranged memorable country-matches at Lake Ida in New Zealand, starting in 1973 and going on biannually until 1979, Australia won all 4 matches.
Towards the end of his career, Coates took up coaching and produced a team of talented skaters. The best were Michael Richmond of Adelaide, South Australia, who reached 15th place twice in the sprint world championships with a 5th place in the 1000 m 1986 as his best single achievement and 5 times qualified his country for a two man quota in the sprint championship, and Danny Kah, also of Adelaide, who became Australia's third great skater, possibly the greatest. He made his mark with a 7th place in the 1500m at the 1985 junior world championship, entered his first senior world championship 1986 and made his breakthrough 1988 with a 9th place overall and a 4th place in the 5000m as his best single achievement. He was #9 again in 1990 and topped his career in Heerenveen 1991 with a 7th place overall and some memorable races against home favourites Thomas Bos and Leo Visser, beating Bos by only 1/100 of a second in the 1500 m.
In 1978, ISU arranged their first short-track championships, with an Australian winner at that, but it signalled the demise of Australian long track speedskating. No longer was it necessary to spend months and fortunes at the other side of the globe to be able to fight for medals, and since 1994, no Australian has appeared in the championships. The only "long track" in existence in Australia was a highland lake near Mt. Buffalo in Victoria state. The lake was used by skaters for training since the 1940s when the ice-conditions permitted, and sometimes when they didn't permit as well. But when the international skater Eddie Spicer (participant in the world championship 1957 and 1958) drowned there in 1997, skating was prohibited. Things will have to materialize in the facilities sector before the two Colins, the Mike and the Danny will get any successors.
In 1952, the first Australians came to Europe for training for the OWG. Except for wellknown Hickey, also a certain mr. C. Ashworth was present. At least he participated in a Trondheim pre-ECh. competition. The National Ice Skating Association of Australia was founded in 1931 and joined the ISU in 1932. The speed-skating-dedicated Australian Amateur Ice Racing Council joined the ISU in 1957 and has represented Australian speed-skaters ever since.
In 1973 Australia beated New Zealand in the first long-track speed-skating country-match ('test-match'), ever held at the southern hemiphere, at the famous Lake Ida. The Australian team, consisting of Victor Bagdon, Eddie Spicer, John Stockdale and Colin Coates, scored 874.578 against New Zealand (Tony Tinga, Stuart Baird, Jan Havenaar and Robert Montgomery) 901.549. This countrymatch was repeated outdoors in the years 1975, 1977 and 1979, all years Australia beating New Zealand. In 1979 the Australian team consisted of: Senior: Rodney Bates, Shane Warren, Michael Richmond (!), Ken Stewart; Intermediate: Paul Williams, Phil Wilton; ladies: V. Doratis, J. Baber. Very unfortunate, this countrymatch (now for the Tasman-trophy) nowadays is only skated indoors. For the future maybe Carla Zijlstra will have the Australian long-track-skating revive?
And don't forget the fastest man ever in the 10 meters dash: It's very unfortunate that it's never been recorded officially, but I don't think any skater has been faster on the first 10 meter than Lynch!

Many shops can repair your car damage and also body paints, but it takes a process to determine which shop is the best when you want your car to be improved. Imperceptible shops can be having more experience more than the others so you should opt for the more meager ones. That’s why you have to consider some facts before trusting them with your car for paint and bodywork. The first process you should take is to get the information about that car repair and body shop since some shops might be useful in advertising their shop but deficient in rendering the services.
Make sure to consider the years of operation when opting to take your car for repair and body paint. Ensure that the shop is furnished well to offer the best services to your car when you want it to be repaired and its body painted adequately.
Make sure to consider the location of the shop to determine the rates you will be charged. Cross -examine how the workers will improve and paint your car and make sure you have come to an agreement with them. Inquire how you will be asked in payment and make sure to consider the assurance they are offering to you for your car repair and body paint. Make sure to ask if the shop has got cover in case of theft or fire that may occur.
You should ensure that the shop is well structured systematically when choosing the most appropriate shop for your car repair and body paint. Make sure they deal with paperwork that is for the receipts and the warranty if it is written down in papers since different people are employed time to time and the one you had agreed with upon the warranty in case had left, so you have to ensure that everything is done on writings.
Getting reviews by asking mechanic questions on how your car will be serviced is another course of action when determining the best car repair and body paint shop that is, ask how your car will be painted and if the paintings are the best in use of your car. Make sure to go for those shops that are dealing mainly with the type of your car since since if you take to different shop not dealing with the kind of your car, they might not be able to deal with it efficiently and the most possible or appropriate manner.
Ensure the paint they are using is manufactured from well-known manufacturer which are accepted in the market.

Since the demise of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and ensuing great financial crisis (GFC), it would seem rather obscenely that central bankers and monetary policy has been obsessed with “deflation”, rather than remedying the actual causes of the crisis itself. Is this a fair analysis?
Central bankers and policy makers were obsessed not so much with deflation but with transferring the losses of financial institutions onto the shoulders of citizens. When this transfer produced deflationary forces only then did they enter into QE territory in an attempt to stem them. Since then they have been trying to contain deflation without doing anything that might restore a modicum of bargaining power to labour or income to the dispossessed.
Given collapsing oil prices, an emerging car loan subprime crisis brewing in the USA, slow down in China, continued economic woes in Japan and fears over Greece igniting another round of sovereign debt crisis in the EU, is it fair to say we may be entering a perfect storm again and a repeat of events similar to those in the GFC?
Turning to the EU and euro zone itself, would it be prudent for the European Commission and ECB to countenance the rapid introduction of a two-tier Euro, specifically a “hard” Euro zone with Federal Germany at its helm, and a “soft” Euro Zone with France at its helm?
If Europe continues the way it is now going, there will be no soft and hard euro. The euro will disintegrate, the result being a Deutsch mark zone east of the Rhine and north of the Alps and an assortment of national currencies everywhere else. The former zone will be gripped by deflation and the latter by stagflation.
With reference to the second question, together with your reply, is it correct, as many allude, that the economic and social ramifications of the 2008 GFC are greater in many G20 nations today than conditions during the Great Depression in the 1930’s?
It is not useful to make such comparisons. While it is true that the crisis transmission mechanisms are more poignant now than then, let us not forget that 1929 set in train the process leading to the carnage of the 2nd World War: hardly a minor repercussion.
Back to Europe and the development of a nascent banking union within the EU members states. Do you believe it wise of political and economic policymakers to concentrate on a “banking union” when centrifugal forces within the EU are growing, rather than dissipating presently?
A banking union would be a godsend. It would break up the death embrace between insolvent banks and insolvent states. Alas, we created a banking union in name so as to ensure it never happens in practice. And so the said death embrace continues.
The recent US unemployment figures (December 2014) and third quarter 2014 GDP growth figure of 5% seems a little unbelievable, particularly given most statistical analysis that demonstrates all gains and more since the “supposed” US recovery have accumulated within the top 5% at the expense of the average Joe on Main Street?
If you look at the US labour market closely you find that the number of Americans wanting a full time job and not having it has remained more or less constant over the last few years. Employment growth has not kept up with labour supply which, in the United States, rises faster than in Europe. As for income growth, it is no great wonder that, courtesy of low investment and QE, asset price increases and share buybacks boost the top 1%’s income further while wages are languishing on a filthy floor. And so macrodata prosper while most people suffer.
Since late 2014, and continuing during the first weeks of 2015, we have Cassandra’s warning about a Greek exit from the Euro Zone should left of centre political parties gain power in January’s election. Is this view overstated and fear mongering no less?
It is pure fear mongering for the purposes of dissuading Greek voters from voting for SYRIZA. It is that cynical. The powers that be know that Grexit would unleash destructive powers that they cannot control. So they are bluffing, hoping that Greeks will fall for this piece of terror a second time – after 2012. It looks as if they cannot fool the Greek voters twice.
An economically prosperous EU would seem essential for the wellbeing of the global economy, given this assumption, what exactly are EU policymakers and the constituent member national governments thinking about by hailing austerity as a panacea, rather than a massive fiscal expansion similar in impact to Marshal Aid nearly 70 years ago?
A new Bretton Woods agreement and re-imposition of capital controls would seem more beneficial, rather than all the supposed “free trade” malarkey we keep hearing about from both sides of the Atlantic. Would you agree?
Capital controls have even been adopted, of recent, by the IMF as essential shock absorbers and stabilisers. A new Bretton Woods would need to configure what I call a global surplus recycling mechanism that prevents bubble-creating financial flows during the ‘good’ times and limits the extent to which the burden of adjustment falls on the shoulders of weaker nations and citizens during the ‘bad’ times. Politically, the trouble is that, unlike in 1944, today there exists no equivalent to the United States then to convene such a conference and underpin the resulting agreement. Only the G20 can do this collectively. But with Europe in a state of comic idiocy and with the United States ungovernable, the prospects are dim.
Concise and to the point replies with an astounding depth of knowledge behind them….for someone who has been following Y.V’s comments and accurate predictions over a number of years,and as Greek,I am delighted that he will play a decision making/taking role in the politicoeconomic life of the country.
Well said. And I hope your readers know ” that every rise in Fascism bears witness to a failed revolution.” Now, this speaks more about the recent failures of Left, so I pray that the Greek people understand that if Syriza wins and fails, the prospects may be grim. In my humble opinion, this is our last chance at autonomy, so let’s put all our differences aside and merge our wills for a united, progressive, autonomous and prosperous nation of Greeks.
Yanis I’m extremely pleased that that you have joined the political inferno in Greece. I have followed you since your first “Modest Proposal” and particularly appreciated your finding a solution within existing regulations and your open acceptance of criticism and finding solutions. A practical realistic economist is (extremely) hard to find these days. Fortunately the Univerity of Missoury Kansas City and a few others offer alternative options (mostly good), however the MSM hardly report these possibilities, including your’s. I feel (personally) that the new Turkish gas pipeline to the borders of Greece offer a golden opportunity, $400mln in annual transit fees will sure come in handy for Greece. Clearly the EU will do everything possble to prevent Syriza from heading a new Greek parliament, especially if it decides to support a gas pipeline from Russia. I believe that Greece (Syriza) should now aqlready be planning a gas pipeline to Abania, whence a short undersea pipeline could supply Italy, all this surreptitiously “beneath the radar” and only be exposed shortly before the elections on 25th January. I may be wrong but I strongly believe that China, Russia, or a combination of the two wil be prepared to build that pipeline super fast. In short get into immediate disscussions with Russia and China for gas supply to Europe, for China it represents an opportunity to present itself via the Silk Road as an equal opportunity nation by providing cheap imports and at the same time providing growth opportunities by means of reaonably priced energy. Russia in the meantime has provided the EU with cheap energy for the last 40 years, reliably with exeption of 2006 and 2009. both short lived due to Ukraine siphoning off EU gas supplies.In coclussion, Greece make use of this golden oppotunity, besides the potential $400mln transfer fees of gas to the EU ther is the very real job potential of building the gas pipeline.
Thanks for posting this – came as a nice surprise, only wished my questions were a little more thoughtful, but deadlines are deadlines and both of us are on tight schedules.
My fingers are “crossed” that you will do well in the election – it will be nice to know an actual Greek politician in the home of democracy, namely Athens.

As John Reed documents a mission in which he and his men had to move into new territory along a river in Vietnam, he also remembers a machine gun opening fire on them and one man in particular who almost met death as a result. Part 1 of 2.
Upon going into battle, Reed and the rest of the men from his division were told to expect many casualties. Luckily they had been to this very same river spot beforehand and at least knew the terrain somewhat, but were still prompted to write letters to loved ones back home. Part 1 of 4.
After easily passing Ranger school and flight school, Bill Ryan was sent back to Vietnam for his second tour. It was here that he flew gunships to aid in the war efforts. On one occasion he unfortunately suffered some gunshot wounds to his legs, halting the entire mission.
Dan Spahn graduated from high school on Friday and left for Navy boot camp on Monday. Unlike so many others at the time, his goal was to serve in Vietnam. He became an electronics technician and joined a spacial squadron that supplied and manned the radar control aircraft that managed air traffic from a carrier.
General Buck Kernan never intended to join the Army but the GI Bill beckoned and he followed. Once he was in, he was determined to be a Ranger. He was also determined to get to Vietnam before it was all over. He was mentored in his career by both generals and sergeants and he carried forward their lessons.
During his time serving in Vietnam the first time, Bill Ryan had plenty of up close encounters with the Vietnamese enemy and some civilians. At this point, Ryan's ears were used to hearing the sound of gunfire in the distance when not being directly part of it.
Bill Ryan spent his early life mostly in other countries such as Germany due to the fact that his father also served in the military. This factor is what ultimately would lead him down a similar pathway, and eventually to Vietnam.
Alex Ortolano flew as part of a helicopter medical evacuation team known as Dust Off, which he gives a little introduction to. Of all the medical evacuation units, Dust Off came in contact with the most casualties during its missions.
When General Buck Kernan was a young officer going into Vietnam, he was hoping to be assigned to the 101st Airborne and he got his wish. Soon he was in command of Tiger Force platoon, a group of hardened specialists who operated in the deep jungle. There was no training that could completely prepare you for that. It was an evolutionary learning experience.
After the communist invasion of South Vietnam, Thien Van Huynh was forced to work many hours without pay or food. He knew the best solution for both him and his family was to escape to America. However, this would prove to be the most difficult task for him yet.

FRIDAY night SBL is where all the action is to start Round 4 of the 2019 season including the Perth Redbacks and Rockingham Flames meeting for the inaugural Anthony Exeter Cup in honour of the former league MVP who tragically lost his life this summer.
It’s a big night on Friday in the Men’s SBL with five matches including the Redbacks playing the Flames at Belmont Oasis.
The Willetton Tigers also play the East Perth Eagles while the Kalamunda Eastern Suns take on the South West Slammers, the Perry Lakes Hawks battle the Mandurah Magic and in a battle of undefeated teams, the Lakeside Lightning host the Joondalup Wolves.
There’s another four matches on Saturday night with the Geraldton Buccaneers hosting the Cockburn Cougars while the East Perth Eagles are at home to the Goldfields Giants.
Also on Saturday night, the Warwick Senators play their first home game of 2019 up against the Willetton Tigers and the South West Slammers play host to the Perth Redbacks.
The round concludes on Sunday at noon with the Rockingham Flames hosting the Goldfields Giants.
Friday night in the Men’s SBL will see the Redbacks and Flames pay tribute to a former star player of both clubs, and league MVP Anthony Exeter. They will play for the Anthony Exeter Cup in each meeting between their men’s teams from now on with this their first clash since his tragic passing.
It shapes as an intriguing game too and significant test for the Redbacks. They are winless to date in 2019 having lost to Warwick, Goldfields, Lakeside and Perry Lakes by an average of 20.5 points.
They are expected to still be without Kyle Bowen, Lee Roberts and Jourdan DeMuynck come Friday night against a Rockingham team warming into the season nicely.
An undermanned Flames lost on the road in the opening round to Geraldton but have since beaten the Hawks and Cougars.
Last week’s 30-point win over Cockburn was on the back of 28 points and 10 rebounds from Josh Ritchart, and a triple-double made up of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Greg Hire.
Friday night will feature the last two undefeated teams doing battle too with the Lightning hosting the Wolves at Lakeside Recreation Centre.
There will be only one team yet to lose in 2019 after Friday night in what shapes as a tremendous contest.
Coming off four straight Grand Final appearances, the Wolves are up and going early in 2019 having beaten the Hawks, Giants, Senators and Eagles while the Lightning have been impressive with victories against the Magic, Tigers and Redbacks.
Any time you get to Round 4 and undefeated teams lock horns always creates plenty of intrigue and the winner will deserve end the weekend clear on top of the table.
Also on Friday night, Perry Lakes plays host to Mandurah at Bendat Basketball Centre.
The defending champion Hawks lost their opening two games of the season but responded with two wins last weekend beating the Redbacks and Buccaneers in the space of 18 hours to now sit at 2-2 entering the home clash with the Magic.
Mandurah had a solid start to the season with narrow losses to the Lightning and Eastern Suns, before a strong road win over the Suns at Kalamunda on the back of a dominant second half.
They appeared to be building some momentum but put in a shocker last Saturday at home to East Perth, scoring just 48 points and losing by 51.
So that gives the Magic with a lot to try to bounce back from but an in-form Hawks team isn’t going to make that an easy task.
Willetton is back home at Willetton Basketball Stadium to take on East Perth in another tantalising Friday night match up.
The Tigers come into the around at 2-2 having suffered a tough home loss to Kalamunda last Friday before bouncing back to win on the road over the Slammers despite the absence of Jackson Hussey and Marcanvis Hymon.
East Perth suffered its first loss of the season last Friday at home to the Wolves but emphatically bounced back to beat the Magic by 51 points 24 hours later to set the stage for a tremendous battle with the Tigers.
The last game on Friday night is then at Ray Owen Sports Centre with the Eastern Suns playing host to the Slammers.
Kalamunda beat Willetton by 26 points last Friday night before losing to Geraldton the next night by 29 so their form is hard to read early in the season.
Meanwhile the Slammers were coming off a 50-point loss to Geraldton and were more competitive last week, but still lost at home to Willetton by seven points to be 0-3 early in the new season under John Triscari.
Triscari and Suns coach Mark Utley are good friends and similar personalities, but both will be desperate to go one-up in their individual battle in 2019 as they lock horns in the Men’s SBL for the first time.
There are then another four matches on Saturday night starting with the Buccs hosting the Cougars at Active West Stadium.
Geraldton suffered its first loss of the season against Perry Lakes on Sunday having beaten Kalamunda the night before by 29 points in their first road game of the season.
So they will be looking to improve on their 3-1 start against a Cougars team yet to taste victory in 2019 despite the best efforts of inspirational captain Gavin Field.
The Goldfields Giants begin their second road trip of the season coming off home victories against the Redbacks and Senators by taking on East Perth on Saturday night at Herb Graham Recreation Centre.
The Eagles will be coming off playing at Willetton Friday night while the Giants will back up the clash with East Perth by facing the Flames in Rockingham on Sunday at midday.
Also on Saturday night, the Slammers play the Redbacks at Eaton Recreation Centre with both coming off games to warm up on Friday evening.
The Warwick Senators then play their first home game of the season playing host to the Tigers at Warwick Stadium.
The Senators have started the season with a big road win over the Redbacks before losing away to the Wolves and Giants leading into their Saturday night at home to a Willetton team having played host to East Perth on Friday.

A Holyrood committee is to examine hospital safety following the deaths of two patients from an infection linked to pigeon droppings.
The health committee inquiry comes in the wake of the deaths at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
The patients died after contracting a fungal infection linked to the droppings.
They included a 10-year-old boy who died in December after contracting the Crypotococcus infection.
A 73-year-old woman, who had been infected with the bug, died at the same hospital in January, with officials initially saying it was from an unrelated condition.
The Crown Office is currently investigating both deaths at the £842m flagship hospital.
The Scottish government has previously announced an independent external review following the fatalities.
But MSPs on the health committee will have a wider focus, looking at healthcare facilities across the country, the risks that exist and how these should be reported and addressed.
The committee’s convenor, Labour MSP Lewis Macdonald, said: “Like everyone across Scotland, I was deeply troubled by the nature of the deaths at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
“There are a number of ongoing investigations into what happened, but this raises wider issues about the safety and control of healthcare environments in Scotland.
What is the scale of health problems acquired from the healthcare environment in Scotland?
What and where are the main risks?
Are the current systems and processes in Scotland adequate for monitoring, reporting, eliminating or controlling these hazards?
The inquiry also follows the death of a patient at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley on 7 February after contracting the hospital infection stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The bacteria was named as a contributing factor in the death.
Two babies died after contracting the staphylococcus aureus bacterium at the Princess Royal Maternity Hospital last month.
Shortly before that, one patient at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow became seriously ill after contracting the fungal infection mucor.
And in December, a 10-year-old boy and an adult died after becoming infected with cryptococcus, an infection related to pigeon droppings, at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.

Who should buy a flutter sleeve wedding dresses – the bride or groom?
In the West, the emancipation of women has led many brides to pay for a dress, flutter sleeve wedding dresses, themselves. Some girls, in addition, incur part of the cost of organizing the celebration – the services of a photographer, rent a limousine and a banquet hall.
In Latin America, the bride family traditionally purchases a wedding dress, flutter sleeve wedding dresses. She also assumes the cost of buying shoes, veils, handbags, and other accessories.
As for the signs, one of them says that the wedding dress, flutter sleeve wedding dresses, should be bought by the bridegroom to the bride. But it is very undesirable that he saw him until the very celebration.

WWF- God’s Word Always Works contd.
AMP: But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.
You need to walk yourself into an even and open place and stand and stay there, for the Sun of Righteousness to always shine down on you. Yield your total self to God’s Spirit to bring you to this place of truth. John 16:13. And start running God’s word program on the RAM of your brain (your mind) 24/7, irrespective of any other thing you may be doing.
You may think, But that’s not possible. I tell you, It is.
If you determine to do it by the help of the Holy Spirit, the Anointing that teaches us God’s word, it won’t be long when your mind and your brain will adjust to that. Just start by making a simple prayer to God, with a heart full of faith towards Him.
KJV: But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
Also set your mind that you want to make this all for ‘Jesus-ish’ reason, without any trace of selfish reason/hidden agenda, unlike some people that try to use God for their selfishness. When you work at making it all ‘Jesus-ishness’, a memory slot will be created in your brain for the times to come, as to always put you under check. So that you don’t get carried away by reason of great results you witness in your life. Please, make all you do ‘Jesus-ish’ always.
Give it a leap of faith today, and start working constantly in the supernatural, which is God’s mind for everyone in Christ Jesus. John 14:12. And though at the beginning, the devil will come to tell you in the thoughts of your mind and hearing of your ears, “This can’t work, you see.” Just be quick to laugh out at him “Hahahaha”, and reply him, “I know you are a liar. This is surely working and it shall work for me graciously. So, I resist you in Jesus Christ’s Name. Be gone from me.” And he will leave you alone. But he doesn’t give up on one trial. So be ready in the Holy Spirit to talk back to him again with the boldness of our Lord Jesus Christ any other time he shows up. And don’t be tired, nor be afraid, of talking out loud to him resistively and authoritatively.
The creations await your manifestation as offsprings of God. Romans 8:19. There is a move of the display of God’s kingdom power going on in this end time like never before. Be part of it!

In addition to the unaudited results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, Energous presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is determined by taking net loss and eliminating the impacts of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. The company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the definitions of similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Energous believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of its reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results. This metric is used as part of the company's internal reporting to evaluate its operations and the performance of senior management. A table reconciling this measure to the comparable GAAP measure is available in the accompanying financial tables below.
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are intended to be covered by the "safe harbor" created by those sections.

All statements in this release that are not based on historical fact are "forward-looking statements." Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, our statements about the timing of required regulatory approvals, number and timing of potential orders and customers' product launches, and commercialization of our technology. While management bases its forward-looking statements in this release on its current expectations, the information on which those expectations were based may change. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: our ability to develop commercially feasible technologies; receipt of necessary regulatory approvals; timing and amount of new orders and revenue recognition; dependence on our strategic relationship with Dialog; market acceptance of our technology; the extent of competition in our industry; our ability to protect our intellectual property; unplanned expenses associated with new product development; and other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We urge you to consider those risks and uncertainties in evaluating our forward-looking statements. We caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained herein (or elsewhere) to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Home / Diseases-conditions / Depression / World Mental Health Day 2018: Can depression lead to early dementia?
Even if we don’t fully understand the mechanisms at work within the brain, there is no doubt that a long period of depression may lead to isolation, inactivity and hopelessness. Many dementia experts claim that the brain loves company so when you are able to overcome depression it helps the brain grow and nurture.
According to the WHO statistics about one-third of the global population suffers from depression and the number is really scaring. Depression being a condition and illness of the brain affects one’s cognitive functions in various ways and some studies suggest that it can also lead to changes in memory. In fact, studies suggest that individuals who suffer from chronic depression may be at greater risk of developing dementia. Also, many people with dementia have depression; left untreated it makes confusion and forgetfulness worse, damaging the quality of life. So, we conclude that there is a strong link between depression and dementia.
There are various studies that say and have also established a strong link between depression and dementia. In fact, the longer you battle with depression your chances of suffering from dementia increases manifolds.
In a 2010 study in the journal Neurology Doctor Jane Saczynski of the University of Massachusetts, found that depression at a younger age is a significant risk factor for dementia. The reasons for same are still unclear. One theory that the doctor professed is that the inflammation that occurs when a person is depressed may be a contributing factor. In addition, certain proteins found in the brain increase with depression; these also may be increasing the risk of dementia. Now, one must understand that depression is just a risk factor for dementia and not a definitive factor. Many people who suffer from depression might not get dementia, of course, you have to consider the treatment they go for and the way the illness is managed makes a difference.
Since depression is a risk factor of dementia many think if it can be prevented when depression is detected at a younger age. Common approaches include medicines and talk therapy. Many people with depression benefit from increased activity and socialization, including things like exercise, meditation, time with children and activities involving pets. However, medicine and therapy will still remain the mainstay of management of depression.
Even if we don’t fully understand the mechanisms at work within the brain, there is no doubt that a long period of depression may lead to isolation, inactivity and hopelessness. Many dementia experts claim that the brain loves company so when you are able to overcome depression it helps the brain grow and nurture. So, in order to prevent dementia, especially if you have depression, it is necessary to take the right steps and ensure that you are able to heal your mind and overcome the gloominess that accompanies the condition. This will help the mind blossom and memory to stay alive for long.
