A novel multi-parameter cardiac remote monitoring system based on Android is presented and demonstrated for overall health surveillance of Electrocardiograph (ECG), heart sound and pulse compared to the shortcomings of the monitoring through single ECG. This system is composed of a multi-channel physiological parameter acquisition unit, an Android terminal and a cloud server. Several key technologies such as integration of multi-parameter acquisition, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) data communication, Android terminal waveform drawing and data management, and cloud-based data storage are researched. Experimental results show that the aforementioned three physiological parameters can be gathered simultaneously at the rate of 1 KHz and the BLE communication, waveform drawing and data management in mobile terminal can be achieved. The system we presented has the merits of high Signal-to-Noise Ratio, comprehensive heart monitoring data and convenience for using and carrying, which provides an important reference for telemedicine and mobile health, and lays a good foundation for the integration of multi-parameter cardiac care.

what pickup or guitar or something is fit to me?
and the pickup or guitar have good sound and no problem?
Whatever pickup you already have will be fine.
your fingers, not to mention avoiding significant string-to-fret rattle.
saddle, too, to accomodate it, and readjust the action of the guitar.
Any decent pickup will work.
heavier guage on the low E, like a .58 or so.
then doesn't that make the Bb a 'flatted fifth' ?
Black Sabbath, Goth Rock, etc. ?
the regular A string can be easily relocated.
string/3rd fret and 7th string/3rd fret.
Your present pickup will cope fine. The guitar probably won't.
E strings are B. I think I'm using a 0.069" string for the low string.
intervals that make up (most of) guitar standard tuning.
for the key in which he was playing.
you set the guitar up right, and use a very light touch.
Here's a whacked out tuning that is totally conventional.
Place the hi E string on the low E string tune to the same hi E.
now you have different inversions on chords. Pretty wild.
odd order harmonics that drive meters mad.
with warped necks & other problems.
whatever the amp can take.
Who cares about the meters... it's the music we are after.
save the guitar and match his voice.
nylon string guitar sounds like a steel string?

If you are looking to make a dramatic statement in your garden, but are not interested in adding a lot of maintenance, a DIY dry creek bed is the way to go. A dry creek bed gives your yard a natural feel and provides both beauty and function to your space.
Dry creek beds are surprisingly easy to complete yourself. Most beds can be completed in a day or two, but they still have a professional look to the finished project.
A creek bed is a great option for an area that doesn’t drain well, has poor soil, or perhaps has an easement. If you’re ready to add a “wow” factor to your landscape without the upkeep of a true water feature, you’ll love a DIY dry creek bed.
A dry creek bed, also known as a dry stream bed, is a gully or trench dug out from the soil, usually lined with stones or boulders and edged with plants to mimic a natural river.
Why would you consider creating one in your yard?
A dry creek bed can serve both function and beauty. If you have a slope on your property where excess water tends to flow and cause erosion, a dry creek bed can direct that water without causing problems on your property. By providing an escape route for excess water, you can protect your existing landscape.
On the other hand, a dry creek bed is sometimes added simply because it’s beautiful and maintenance free. The look of flowing rocks is attractive and adds the ambiance of a rushing stream, even without water. Some homeowners with absolutely no drainage problems in the yard build them just because they like the way they look.
There are a myriad of dry creek bed ideas and tutorials online. Finding a little inspiration that suits your particular needs or interest shouldn’t be difficult. That said, all creek beds are created in basically the same way. The size and style of rocks may vary, but the installation process is essentially the same.
The first step is to plan where your dry creek bed will go. A straight creek is neither natural nor beautiful, so be sure to create gentle curves and turns that resemble a winding stream. Most dry creek beds follow an existing slope. Start at the top of the slope where water tends to fall first, and then meander through your landscape and away from the property for proper drainage. Be sure not to direct the water to a street, towards your house, or onto your neighbor’s property.
Once you’ve determined the path of the stream, you’ll want to mark it clearly before you start working. You can outline the shape with landscaping paint, rope, or a garden hose. Make sure it’s mapped out clearly so that as you start working, you can clearly see your outline.
Step 3: Dig it up and clear it out.
Once you’ve got a plan and an outline, it’s time to get to work. Start by removing existing vegetation. Usually, this means carving out the existing grass. It may also require you to remove, replace, or replant existing plants and shrubs.
As a general rule, streams are about twice as wide as the depth. If your dry creek bed is 4 feet (1 m.) across, it would be about 2 feet (.6 m.) deep or less. If you make your dry creek bed too deep, you may create a pond instead of a stream.
As you dig, mound the excavated soil around the sides of the creek. This creates a natural appearance rather than a trench. You want to be sure the sides are built up naturally first, then you can use the excess soil in another area of your landscape.
Once you’ve completely cleared the path for your creek bed, tamp the soil down with a tamping tool. If you don’t have a tamping tool, you can simply stomp on the soil to press it down, but proper tamping will make the next steps significantly easier.
Before you fill it with rock, it’s important to line the bed with landscape fabric. Use landscape pins to hold the fabric in place. This will keep weeds from growing through your rocks. You want to be careful not to get any dirt on the fabric. Nothing is worse than working hard to create a beautiful dry creek bed only to have weeds pop up throughout the entire surface within months. Don’t skimp on the landscaping fabric. Make sure it’s laid down clean and tight across the entire surface.
Start with the largest rocks first. For most creek beds, there should be a few oversized boulders placed here and there along the sides of the creek bed. Place them first, and then settle them in at least 1 to 2 inches deep.
Once you have your large boulders in place, you can cover the entire surface in a thick layer of gravel or coarse sand, and then spread river rocks of various sizes and shapes down the length of the creek bed.
The bed should look like Mother Nature placed them there, this means they shouldn’t be uniform and perfect. Some people like to mortar river rocks in place, but most find that this step isn’t necessary unless you expect rushing waters to run through your creek.
Your dry creek bed is almost complete and is looking great! Once you’ve finished creating the rock bed, it’s time to add native shrubs, ornamental grass or flowers along the banks. A dry creek bed without surrounding plants looks unfinished. Plants and tall ornamental grasses soften the edges of the dry river bed and help to give the creek an intentional look while disguising the “headwaters”.
Unless you are digging through very fertile soil, you will probably have to improve the ground for planting by adding soil amendments to it. Choosing the best plants to surround your bed depends on the same factors that you would consider for any other planting, with a few additional practical factors taking priority.
Be sure to select plants that do well in wet areas and full-sun plants along edges that receive sunlight all day long. If you’d like, you can also add a large shaded tree to shade part of your bed. This may add a little maintenance by way of clearing fallen leaves, but many gardeners like the look of the branches of a small weeping tree such as a Japanese maple hanging over a stream bed (dry or otherwise).
With any planting, you choose, be sure to mix in some suitable shorter ground covers, as well. As with other garden beds, dry creek planting will look more natural if plants of different heights are combined together in a natural landscape.
Complete the project by adding mulch around the dry-creek-bed plants, to keep down weeds. Mulch also gives your project a finished look. Make sure to get a heavy mulch, if you live in a windy area like I do.
If you’re ambitious, you can go beyond simple plants and install a landscaping bridge, stepping stones, logs, or hanging plants for a knockout focal point for your yard.

eobiont - A fresh print campaign attracts new customers for a fintech startup.
A fresh print campaign attracts new customers for a fintech startup.
Our Design Dash workshop quickly and effectively helped the startup fintech LIQID create a print advertising campaign that commands attention and furthers brand communication.
Many Germans remain very financially traditional, often only putting their money into savings accounts or short-term deposit accounts. Convincing them to invest in stocks or other equities can be a struggle, especially if you are a relatively unknown startup. The new fintech LIQID, which offers high-end investment possibilities at relatively low entry points, aimed to do just that. Along with the development of an overall communication strategy, they needed a strong, memorable visual ad campaign to help them drive home the point that people need to treat their money with more care.
Through our Design Dash workshop we developed the concept of a goldfish bowl in various quirky and unexpected settings. This was paired with a headline that asked what was holding your money back from its full growth potential. The goldfish was positioned as a metaphor for the reader’s wealth that could be better taken care of. Because the copy had to convey a fair bit of information, the visuals had to be interesting and engaging enough to make the reader curious to read on.
The ads ran as large format in print versions of “Die Zeit” and “Handelsblatt,” as well as their magazine sections consistently for many months. These two magazines serve a high-end readership of academics and business people. These were supplemented with online ads and mailings. As a result, we were able to double the percentage of first-time investors.

Modules are built-in Joomla components that you can add to your site to hold content. For example, the Featured Stories widget that cycles through a specific categories of posts with dynamic Flash is the YOOcarousel module.
You can insert 21 different modules and place them in various positions on your site. Some of the modules have already been added to the template, such as the banner, footer, menu, and search.
Archived Content A list of articles you have archived.
Banner	 The banner graphic for the site.
Breadcrumbs The hierarchical path of where you are in the site.
Custom HTML Your own HTML content for the section. Tip: When added to the Left position, this module looks like a sidebar.
Feed Display Items from an RSS feed.
Footer The copyright information for the site.
Latest News The most recently added articles.
Login A login form to sign in to the site. This module should not be used. To log in, users must go to the administrators URL.
Menu A menu similar to the main or right menu.
Most Read Content The most popular articles on the site.
Newsflash An excerpt from an article in a specific category. The newsflash changes each time you refresh the page.
Poll A poll or survey users can vote on.
Random Image A random image from the folder you select. The images change each time you refresh the page.
Related Articles A list of articles related to the current article you’re viewing.
Search A search form to search the site.
Sections A list of all the sections in the database, as you have set them up in the Section Manager.
Statistics Statistics about the Web site and server, such as operating system and hits.
Syndicate RSS feed link for the page.
Who’s Online The number of guests and members online.
Wrapper Another Web site embedded into the space.
Yoocarousel The Featured Stories section on the home page.
You can place modules in 18 different positions on the template. The available positions for each module are detailed in the this diagram , which also appears as a link in the left navigation of your site and in the user guide.
When a position is left blank, the positions near it expand to fill the space. For example, if you place a module in the left position, and no other modules are in the left position, the module fills the entire left space of the sidebar.
Select the module you want to add, and then click Next.
Title: :A name for the module.
Show Title: :Whether you want the title to appear next to the module. Not all modules are intended to display a title. If you select Yes, the title will appear as a sidebar heading.
Enabled: This option allows you to to activate the module. If you disable it, the module disappears.
Position: Position refers to the user position that the module should appear in. Refer to the user positions diagram in the user guide or the link in your left navigation for details here.
Order: Indicates module order within the same position. If you have multiple modules added to this position, select the order in which the modules should appear.
Access Level: This option is irrelevant because the front-end of Joomla has been turned off, so it doesn't matter what you select here.
In the Menu Assignment section, select whether you want the module to appear for all menu selections or to appear only when the user clicks a certain menu item. Most likely you’ll want to leave the All option selected so that the module is always visible wherever the user is on the site.
In the Parameters section on the right you often have other options for the module. These options vary based on the module. The option here allows me to add a style class to this custom HTML module.
In the Custom Output section at the bottom, type the HTML that you want the module to display.
Select the check box next to the module you want to remove. In this case, I’ll remove one of my custom HTML modules.
Click either Disable or Delete, depending on how you want to remove it.
Disable hides the module and is useful if you want to reactivate it later. Delete removes the module from your site.
Note: When you delete a module, you’re only removing the module instance you added. You’re not deleting the module template from which the module instance was created. For example, if you delete a custom HTML module that you added, you can always add another custom HTML module to your site later. You’ll just have to repopulate the new module instance with content.
The home page of your site has a rotating series of articles in the User 2 position here. This section is titled Main Feature. However, the technical name for this module is the YOOcarousel module.
The YOOcarousel module cycles through articles in a specific category. Currently, the module is set to cycle through all articles in the Presidency Messages category in the Featured Messages section. You can set which category the module cycles through, the number of articles, and other details.
In the Title field, change the title of the module as desired.
In the Module Parameters section on the right, select the details for the module.
Category: Allows you to select the category that the articles are pulled from. The YOOcarousel can only pull articles from one category at a time, so it’s probably best to dedicate a category just for this module.
No. of items: Determines how many items appear from the category. The latest items from the category appear. If you have short names for each tab, you can fit as many as five articles here. If you have long tab names, maybe only two articles will fit.
The other options control the look and functionality of the module. You can experiment with different settings. For example, if you turn off Autoplay, the carousel won’t automatically move from tab to tab.
Note: For a detailed tutorial on configuring the YOOcarousel module, see the instructions and accompanying video tutorial from YOOtheme.
Create a new article by going to Content > Article Manager and click New.
For the title, note that the title becomes the tab name on the carousel. If you have a long title, you won’t be able to add very many tabs. So limit the title to one or two words only.
In the content area, type the title for the article at the top and format it with the Heading 1 style (or something similar).
Type some text after your title.
After several lines, insert a Read More tag or a link. The carousel only has a small space to show content, so if you don’t truncate it with a link after the first paragraph, the text will flow beyond the module’s visibility.
Click Save. Now when you refresh the page, you’ll see the article you just added.

June 28, 2016 Sound on Sound Fest.
Hark ye! What thunderous calamity ariseth from yonder hilltop?
Fret not, gentle peasantry, it’s just Sound on Sound Festival at Sherwood Forest Faire.
Dreamy indie faves Beach House, dance rock outfit Phantogram and Austin’s own cinematic post-rock kingpins Explosions in the Sky are set to headline the inaugural SOS Fest in a spot out by Elgin where Central Texas Renaissance Festival enthusiasts go to rock voluminously plumed hats and ruffled blouses and talk in bad British accents.
Also making the journey 30 miles east of Austin (and 400 years back in time) for the fest are rappers Run the Jewels, Young Thug, Big Boi, Wale and Aesop Rock. Electronica duo Purity Ring, Australian rocker Courtney Barnett and ’90s rockers Guided by Voices will perform alongside seminal punk rockers the Descendants, the Dead Milkmen and supergroup FLAG. Bob Mould, Mac DeMarco, FIDLAR, Cursive, Denzel Curry, A-Trak and Charles Bradley are also on the bill.
And continuing a Shakespearean tale of unrequited passion and betrayal that dates back to 2013, thrash rap outfit Death Grips is (allegedly) bound for the forest.
Local artists Magna Carda, Moving Panoramas, Anya, Night Drive, Hard Proof and American Sharks round out a bill that includes roughly 85 artists, making it similar in scope to Fun Fun Fun Fest.
With the move to the country we can expect later gate times and later nights with additional programming in the campground. “There’s a lot of magic that happens after sunset at a lot of festivals, and we’ve been sort of missing that (in Austin),” he said.
Instead of having the standard festival layout in a field with tents, SOS will take advantage of the “old-timey booths” and buildings of the structured village at Sherwood Forest Faire. Festival vendors will set up in the property’s pubs, restaurants, shops and stages.
Still to be announced is the lineup for the “Yellow stage” area which will house comedy, spoken word and panel discussions. The skate and BMX ramp and Anarchy Championship Wrestling will also have a presence at the new festival.
In May, Fun Fun Fun Fest organizers said there would be an announcement about their 2016 event in June. On Tuesday, Transmission Events general manager Bobby Garza said he would have information about FFF 2016 later this week.

Brain tumor tissue can be hard to distinguish from normal brain during surgery. Neurosurgeons use their best judgment in the operating room but often must guess exactly where the edges of the tumor are while removing it.
Even the state-of-the-art imaging equipment in today's OR still doesn't make the process much easier. But a new laser-based microscopic technology may help surgeons see the difference between tumor tissue and normal brain in real-time.
Called a stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscope, it's now being tested at the University of Michigan Health System. Researchers have used the SRS microscope to image more than 60 patient samples since June - the first clinical test of the technology. The latest research was published in Science Translational Medicine.
Working with experts from several institutions including Harvard University, where SRS microscopy was developed, the researchers used SRS microscopes to image brain tissue from neurosurgical patients. They were able to visualize tumors that otherwise would be invisible to the surgeon in the operating room.
"This technology has the potential to resolve a long-standing issue in cancer surgery, which is the need for faster and more effective methods to assess whether a tumor has been fully removed," said Richard Conroy, Ph.D., director of the Division of Applied Science & Technology at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the National Institutes of Health, which provided funding for the development of the technology.
The next version of the device would sit close to the operating table. Surgeons could readily insert a fresh tissue sample into the device, which would generate microscopic images on the spot. The entire medical team would be able to use and understand the device easily and the images produced would help determine immediately whether more surgery is required.
To get microscopic images today similar to what SRS produces, surgeons have to wait a half hour or more for tissue to be frozen, sectioned, stained and interpreted by expert pathologists trained to spot the difference between cancer cells and normal brain cells.
"The ability to determine tumor margins without having to send samples to a pathologist could increase patient safety and improve outcomes by shortening the length of surgeries and reducing the number of cases where cancer cells are left behind," Conroy said.
If the current test goes well, the technology could be submitted to the FDA for approval within two years.
Based on material originally posted by University of Michigan Health System.

Growing healthy grass in the state of Florida poses several unique challenges that Northern states don't necessarily have to contend with. Climate, soil, and application issues can get a bit tricky. Here are some grasses that work best in Jacksonville, Florida.
Climate. Your grass should be resistant to drought and tolerant of heavy rains and salt water.
Use. You should consider how much traffic your grass will see. If you're a homeowner with kids, choose a type of grass that accepts heavy foot or motorized traffic.
Maintenance. Do you have a great deal of time to spend on your lawn? If not, you'll want to choose a type of grass that doesn't require a lot of care.
What Types of Grass are Best?
Bermuda. Bermuda grass is the popular choice for golf courses, playing fields and public parks. But it is also a great type of grass for your lawn. Bermuda is drought-resistant, holds up under heavy use, and grows well in tropical climates.
Paspalum. For residents on the Jacksonville coast, paspalum is one of the better choices. It thrives on salt water and can even grow on ocean water with the right management practices. Recycled water is also a popular way to develop paspalum.
Bahia. This warm season grass has an excellent resistance to drought and insect attacks. Bahia roots extend to eight feet, which means it is a reliable type of grass in many areas of Florida.
Zoysia. Also known as "Japanese lawn grass," Zoysia resists extreme drought and holds its color quite well throughout the year. As Zoysia is highly salt-tolerant, it is another useful type of grass for those on the coast.
Centipede. Centipede grass is a popular lawn type due to its low maintenance requirements. The only drawback to this type of grass is that it's not very tolerant to low temperatures--but that's not often a problem in Florida!

The undergraduate research program begins in junior year fall semester with the advanced project-based laboratory course MOL 350-Laboratory in Molecular Biology, and the junior tutorials, in which students discuss papers from the primary literature. Students also participate in a selection process that matches them with a faculty adviser for their spring junior independent work and senior thesis research. During the spring semester, juniors carry out independent research under the guidance of the faculty adviser to write the Junior Paper in the form of proposal for their senior thesis project.
The fall junior tutorial provides a forum for students to learn to read and analyze critically the primary scientific literature in molecular biology. Students participate in small group tutorials in which they discuss research papers in current topic areas. Tutorials, led by postdoctoral instructors, are held once a week for 1.5 hours and are broken into two segments, each with a distinct topic area. At the end of each 4-week segment, students write a short critique of a relevant research paper assigned by the instructor.
The format and deadlines for the two papers can be found in the Guide to Independent Work. The grading rubric is posted on Blackboard.
In the spring term, students carry out independent work with a faculty adviser with whom they will eventually do their senior thesis research. Students who plan to do an experimental thesis may choose to begin laboratory research during the spring semester. Over the course of the semester, students will meet frequently with the adviser to analyze the relevant background literature, discuss experimental research if relevant, and formulate a research plan for their senior thesis. The independent work culminates in the submission of the Junior Paper, a formal research proposal that is modeled on a typical grant proposal.
The format for the Junior Paper can be found in the Guide to Independent Work. The Junior Paper will be read by the adviser and a second faculty reader according to a grading rubric.
Junior papers must be turned in to the adviser by 5:00 PM of the University deadline for spring junior independent work.

I’m thinking waterless face cleansing is an odd topic for me to blog about, but I found myself talking about this three times in the last week with my friends. When I was considering if I should even post about this, I realized I wanted to get back to posting about topics that I actually discuss in person. Here goes! Back to basics, right?
About 5 years ago I was on a photography set with make up artist Margaret Avery. We got talking about skin care because I was complaining about overly dry, flakey skin. I’ve struggled with this my whole life and washed, scrubbed, peeled, scrubbed to get rid of the dryness. Margaret taught me about cleaning my face using a waterless technique. I’ve been using this process ever since and it’s simplified my skin care. Before you begin reading the how-to portion of this you might be thinking: I have oily skin. One of my friends with oily skin that had little ‘bumps’ used this and the bumps cleared up in two days. Give this a try for a week and fine turn the process to fit your skin.
What do I like about the waterless face cleaning method?
Rub coconut oil all over your face and massage in circles to remove dirt and make up. Rub eye makeup off gently.
Using a dry cotton pad, remove coconut oil.
If you were wearing heavy eye make up, you can wet a cotton pad to remove the coconut oil from your eye area.
Using an acne pad, swipe over skin avoiding the eye area.
I mentioned I have really dry skin, so most of the products are geared towards dry, aging (yikes!!!) skin. I’m almost 40, so I gotta take this aging skin thing seriously. The struggle is real. The skin care company I’m loving right now is Herbivore. You will see a lot of Herbivore fan love in this post. The oils and face masks are must haves. The face mask exceeded my expectations this past winter. It truly brightened up my skin after the recommended four applications when you first start using the mask. I use Herbivore oils instead of a moisturizer, and I’ll use a little LaMer under my eyes.
Herbivore Orchid Facial Oil: I use this product before a moisturizer because sometimes moisturizers are too heavy. These oils are amazing and work well at making your skin look dewey and healthy. I thought the floral smell would set off my allergies, but it didn’t. The smell makes the experience so luxurious. I’ve tried the Orchid Oil, and look forward to trying others.
Herbivore Brighten Pineapple + Gemstone Mask: Hands down my favorite mask for removing dry skin and brighting up my complexion. I was a little skeptical of a natural product, but this one wow-ed me so much the search for a mask is done. I want to try their other masks because this mask performed so well.
Herbivore Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist: Refreshing in the summer, moisturizing in the winter. I’ve also tried the rose lip polish and conditioner and love them too.
LaMer: I know this product is a bit controversial. It’s expensive, and rumored to be Nivea Cream (they smell exactly the same!). This has worked for me for over 10 years. I use it under my eyes in the summer and lightly all over in the winter. This product has a high price tag, so if you decide to splurge, ask one of the LaMer product representatives to show you how to use it properly. You have to warm it between your palms. It’s a process, and worth learning how to do correctly. I’m a fan, something in this works, and well. I do want to mention that I let the face oils do the heavy lifting for moisturizing. I use the LaMer if I need it, like in January, I’m using it.
– If my skin breaks out, it’s because I slacked with sterilizing my skin with an acne pad.
– I try to moisturize when my skin is damp.
– I change how much moisturizer I used seasonally. If not, I tend to break out.
– It took me months to figure out the formula that works for my skin, it’ll take time to figure out your perfect mix.
We travel a lot and I try to be a carry-on-only gal. I hate checking luggage and if we don’t have a direct flight, I definitely won’t check luggage. Ever. I’m pretty slimmed down on what I take with me. In the slide show above I share my system of small plastic containers and baggies.
– I put the coconut oil and dry cotton pads in one baggie. I’ve have had the coconut oil leak if it’s a long flight, so the baggie here is key. The leaking is minor, so it doesn’t ruin the dry cotton pads.
– The acne pads go in a baggie, and I put a few drops of the liquid from the container to keep the pads moist.
– I always buy travel size or ask for a deluxe sample size so I can refill the container. Herbivore makes travel size in many of their products that have passed my leak test. The roll on oil is top notch because it lasts for well over two weeks.
This post is not sponsored, however I did ask a few of the companies mentioned to send samples so we’d have good looking product to photograph for this post.

NEW DELHI: The cooperation between India and UK in atomic energy sector is bound to increase in the years to come, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said here today.
Wide range of issues of mutual interest including civil nuclear energy cooperation, climate negotiations at Paris Meet and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's forthcoming visit to the United Kingdom later this year were discussed during the meeting between Singh and visiting UK Secretary of State (Cabinet Minister) for Energy and Climate Change, Amber Rudd.
Singh, Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office, told the visiting minister that India's nuclear energy programme is primarily meant for peaceful purposes and has achieved rapid strides in recent times, particularly because the Prime Minister himself takes a personal interest and promotes all the scientific initiatives including those undertaken by the Department of Atomic Energy.
Expressing satisfaction over the fact that India and UK share collaboration in the field of atomic energy at different levels, Singh said, the mutual cooperation in this field is bound to grow further in the years to come, more so because the two countries have very much in common in different spheres of life.
Rudd, who is on a two-day visit to India, shared her country's view and observations about the climate change negotiations proposed to be held among the representatives of the different countries. She also expressed her views on the action which could be taken by India and the UK on this issue.
Rudd also dwelt on overall strategy of the British government in relation to energy including renewable energy and solar energy as well as climate change policy.
The UK Energy Minister told Singh how the entire British nation was looking forward to the Prime Minister's visit with great enthusiasm.

There was a time when Thailand did not have the flagships of international luxury designer brands in glossy departments stores nor a legion of Thai ready-to-wear brands. But there was an early clan of Thai designers who made names for themselves in their ateliers and would eventually go on to open their shops. Of a different era, they had a different vision than that of the current generation, a vision that has evolved into the core of ready-to-wear here in Thailand, from Fly Now and Theatre to Muse by Good Mixer to Tango and Soda.
Many years ago, before Maynart Nantakwang opened Soda in 1978, many a fashionable Bangkok lady needed to go to their dressmakers before attending a party. In fact, to have your own personal dressmaker to custom make your dresses was the epitome of design and luxury. Along came Soda and everything changed. Now, Soda has come to represent a bohemian alternative to strict bodycon dressing.
The Soda woman and man are nomadic: he and she are as comfortable in a Moroccan souk or the markets of Jaipur as they are in Paris. He is fluent in French, can stroll the streets of Montmartre at ease, and is a frequent visitor to World’s End. Later came the diffusion line, Baking Soda and a café, which capture the very essence of what Soda is, what Soda means: love. Love Café opened at Emquartier in 2016, after 38 years, a testament to a brand that exists out of love and is inspired by freedom—the free-spirited bohemian.
Now, fashion in Thailand is dictated by two seasons: hot and rainy. There is a split second in December when it gets cold and could almost qualify as fall/winter, but producing clothes in accordance with the international fashion calendar has not really been a thing. But there have been exceptions. Of the now-established generation, Fly Now was one such exception.
Somchai Songwattana is known for his dramatic vision of the world: romantic, gothic and fiercely feminine, yet minimal and poetic. He has a way with feathers that makes his feathered gowns and jackets the staple pieces of many a beautiful wardrobe. This was the dream as a brand; though the Fly Now that currently exists in every department store might have elements of this dream, what Somchai has created is a fashion empire that has funded not just a fashion business but also a passion project called Chang Chui, an impressive art collection, and patronage of some of the most important contemporary Thai artists. The fashion business features outlets all over the country, fuelled by immensely successful ready-to-wear and OEM business. The vision of Fly Now that we now see? A strong, beautiful heroine in clothes that become her armor: a corset, jacquard, and structure. Perhaps the name maintains the vision of getting lost in one’s dreams and imagination and that is what the brand is about: to Fly Now, away, and escape.
The other brand whose aesthetic is exactly as the name suggests is Theatre. If the world is a stage, what we wear are costumes and there is always drama, always an occasion, and always a lasting impact. That is good theatre, and over the last three decades that is what Theatre has delivered: volume and large structure, clothes that you want to wear when you get dressed up. Sirichai “Jom” Daharanont creates a fantasy world in Theatre-traditional Thai shapes and volumes that are reinterpreted to create dramatic signature pieces that are voluminous, maximal, and exactly what it promises to be: high drama, meant to last. A brand that started as an atelier, the Theatre troupe are expert drapers and still make dresses to order.
Muse by the Good Mixer, one will remember from early days walking around Siam Center and how a visit to MUSE meant being taken to a fantasy world of ruffled dresses, and prints. Chaichon Savantrat still delivers this fantasy of gingham and prints. The jungle queen of accessories, embroidery, beads and leather is Tango. Exactly as the name suggests, it’s a tropical tango of bright colors and beads. Tango was also the go-to for sandals of suede that would lace up your calves or bags with beads and poms poms. Tango was and is a Bohemian dream of an accessories brand and remains so today.
So at the Shanghai Mansion, we dream, dream of the days when fashion was about escape, an escape to a place where heroines can get lost in a fantasy of clothes that tell a story.

Here they come…again! The Monkees have just released their first new album in twenty years, and all is right with the world.
That much is evident from the opening track which gives the LP its title. “Good Times” was demoed by Harry Nilsson for The Monkees, never recorded by the group, and later released by Harry (and “The New Salvation Singers,” natch) on Capitol’s Tower imprint. Now, the late Nilsson’s happily un-ironic, churning pop nugget gains new life as a duet with his very-much-alive pal and fellow Hollywood Vampire Micky Dolenz, and it’s a match made in rock-and-roll heaven: “There’s a good time comin’ on/I can feel it in my bones/Said a good time comin’ on/I can tell it won’t be long/Till there’s dancing in the streets again…” The opening song’s promise is fulfilled mightily on this effervescent romp through the evolution of The Monkees. These Good Times could well refer to the past – songs by Monkee mainstays Nilsson, Neil Diamond, Jeff Barry, Carole King and Gerry Goffin, and of course, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart are all featured here, as is a posthumous performance from Davy Jones – but there’s nary a whiff of mothballs or pastiche anywhere. Thanks to the spirited productions of Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger and the fresh vocals and instrumentation provided by Dolenz, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork individually and collectively (not to mention one original song contributed by each), it’s clear that the Good Times are today.
Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart’s “Whatever’s Right” was mooted for The Monkees back in 1966 – and indeed, would have sounded just right alongside “(I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone” and “Last Train to Clarksville” – but has been recorded anew for inclusion here. It has that instantly recognizable, driving Boyce and Hart sound in both the call-and-response vocals and crisp instrumentation (here with carnival-esque organ and prominent guitar licks) propelling the taut track for its under-two-minute length. The languid, atmospheric “Me and Magdalena” from Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard is the album’s most dreamy track, featuring Nesmith on lead accompanied by Dolenz on tight harmony. Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher’s co-written “Birth of an Accidental Hipster,” sung by Mike and Micky, returns The Monkees to Head territory with its shifting rock-meets-vaudeville soundscapes.
In addition to “Good Times,” three other vintage tracks have been tapped for inclusion here. Jeff Barry co-wrote the lean garage rocker “Gotta Give It Time” with Joey Levine, and the January 1967 recording (featuring Artie Butler and Al Gorgoni, among others) channels a “Stepping Stone”-esque vibe. Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s beautiful “Wasn’t Born to Follow” – also recorded by The Byrds, Dusty Springfield and King’s band The City, among others – is built around a countrified 1968 Wrecking Crew track with Mike Deasy, Al Casey and Dennis Budimir on guitar, Earl Palmer on drums, Mike Melvoin on harpsichord and Milt Holland on vibes. Peter Tork’s weathered lead has the right gravity for the late Goffin’s mature, poetic lyrics in the face of the changing musical times. The most recognizable cut on Good Times is Neil Diamond’s “Love to Love,” an outtake originally recorded in 1967 and 1969 and already released in two different mixes. Regardless of its familiarity, it still boasts a prime Davy Jones vocal – sweetened with Tork and Dolenz’s newly-recorded harmonies. Diamond’s moody melody and its psych-pop arrangement (played by Butler, Gorgoni, Hugh McCracken and other session vets) make for a seamless addition to the lineup here.
Mike Nesmith is responsible for the most touching moment on the album, his low-key and ruminative “I Know What I Know.” Driven by Adam Schlesinger’s piano, it’s a virtual solo (and in fact was first recorded by Nesmith some years back), and an attractively melancholy showcase. Of the other original Monkee-penned songs, Peter revives his gentle “Little Girl” (previously recorded on his duo album with James Lee Stanley) as a tribute to Davy, whom he originally hoped would sing it as a follow-up to “I Wanna Be Free.” Micky bookends Good Times with a Schlesinger co-write, the tongue-in-cheek “I Was There (And I’m Told I Had a Good Time).” A chunky, pounding Beatles/Billy Preston-esque blues piano riff showcases Micky’s dry sense of humor (“We are here and we’re gonna have a good time/Like we did before/Supposedly…”) on this track which sends The Monkees’ 50th anniversary record off into the sunset on a high note.
Rhino’s release, overseen by executive producer John Hughes with A&R contributions from Jason Day and longtime Monkees steward Andrew Sandoval, features a thick booklet with full lyrics for each songs as well as track-by-track annotation and credits. Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork are currently touring behind Good Times, with Nesmith hinting at a possible reunion with his Monkee mates in the near future. Note that several retailer-exclusive bonus tracks are available via FYE, HDTracks/iTunes, and Barnes and Noble (the latter in conjunction with the upcoming vinyl release). The Japanese CD version features one of the two B&N tracks (Andy Partridge’s “Love’s What I Want”) on CD. Those who purchase from select independent retailers might also receive some free, swell Monkees swag (a Good Times! coloring book)!
Has there ever been a more worthy story still yet to be acknowledged by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than that of The Monkees, four kids hired to play a band on TV who actually became one and are still making great and yes, relevant, music five decades later? But the only validation The Monkees truly need is one they’ve received over all those years: the joy that Davy, Micky, Peter and Mike’s music has brought over the years. Don’t hesitate. Listen to the band!
When this was announced my reaction was ehh… So glad I was wrong!
Like The Beach Boys different, but equally surprisingly excellent “That’s Why God Made Radio” in 2012 (which opened with a semi-“Our Prayer” opener as opposed to a “Do It Again” rehash – “Good Times!” is a perfect record for this band, in this year – with a key member missing (Davy – Carl’s vocals didn’t appear on TWGMR unfortunately) – Carl’s final tracks came out on the 2013 box set instead. By just listening to the songs here, you wouldn’t think these guys are in their 70s!
I do miss the spirit of Davy, but he feels (and sounds) with the album. I miss him much. There are those that feel his “Hard to Believe” is MOR junk even for the time, while I think it is just a wonderful song that starts Side 2 of “Pisces” to rearrange the feel of the album.
This should really please fans – I already like it more than “Headquarters” (it takes a long weird time to finally get to the excellent final track, “Randy Scouse Git”)!
This is a welcome addition to The Monkees catalogue! Really enjoy it!
I couldn’t agree more, Jeff! And I almost referenced the Boys’ TWGMTR in my review, but decided to let The Monkees stand alone. It’s such an apt analogy, though, and for all of the differences between the albums, I had much of the same excitement hearing these old friends sing together one last (?) time on record.
Have always loved “Hard to Believe.” Davy is still so very much missed.
The new album is great, but it’s NOT as good as Headquarters. Not to mention Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, or the Head soundtrack.
Best Monkees album since Head though? Oh, YES!
Best since HEAD? Good enough!
Can anyone comment on the FYE bonus track, “A Better World”? I’m thinking of getting this edition for that track–I already have the standard version–but I don’t want to spend the cash unless it’s a quality track. Any thoughts on the song? I can’t find it online to sample.
“A Bettter World” is a good song, but it really doesn’t fit in with the rest of the album. The CD is only $9.99 at F.Y.E.
Great essay, paisan! I wonder if anyone can list, song by song, exactly which of the three Monkees are doing exactly what on each song? How many songs have all three on them? Who is not on which song? When do they sing and when play which instruments? I heard that they were never in the studio together because Mike wanted a kind of privacy–not out of any lack of love for M and P–but because he was self-conscious performing. I think they all likely underestimated what a smash this would be; it’s a wildfire.
So, in short, any track by track personnel details would be welcome.
I just picked up the 14-track FYE version today. I haven’t listened to all of it yet, but will soon. The booklet annotates who plays on each track.
All three Monkees appear on tracks 2, 3, 4, and 7.
Micky sings on every track except 9, 11, and 12. His only instrument is drums, track 13.
Michael sings on 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, and 12, and plays guitar on 1, 2, and 3.
Peter sings on 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, and 14 (the bonus track); plays keyboards on 2, 4, and 7; banjo on 3; and guitar on 9 and 14.
Micky’s sister Coco sings backing vocals on several tracks as well.
Tracks 1, 5, 8, and 11 are vintage 1960s tracks with new overdubs. Track 7 is an entirely new recording of a 1960s-era Boyce and Hart composition, with Hart on backing vocals.
Track 2 also features performances by Adam Schlesinger, Jody Porter, and Brian Young, constituting three-fourths of Fountains of Wayne.
Not to nitpick, but Smashmouth did the ‘I’m a Believer’ remake on ‘Shrek’. Other than that- great review! This is the album fans like myself have waited for. Nice to hear more imput from Nez. I’m holding out for the vinyl edition.
Smash Mouth performed “I’m a Believer” for the first “Shrek” film. Weezer did it for the fourth film in the series, “Shrek Forever After,” as noted in the review. You can hear Weezer’s version on the soundtrack to that film. Thanks!
Finally ordered it today from Amazon (Thanks to “Autorip,” I got to listen right away and I’ve listened to it three times today). Good Times! is going to be in heavy rotation in my stereo, car, and iPod all summer long.
I’ve liked several new albums this year (and I’m looking forward to new Avett Brothers soon), but Good Times! may well be my favorite both now and when the year comes to an end. Not a single bummer in the bunch! It’s the happiest an album has made me a long, long time.
My only gripe is scattering four bonus tracks around. Not cool. As it is, I’m not a vinyl person so I don’t know how I’m going to get the other Andy Partridge composition on CD (why Japan only?), or at least a download if I must. It’s one of the tracks I’m most interested in.
I probably screwed up not buying the Fye edition with the extra Peter track, and while it’s easy enough to get both “Terrifying” and the faster version of “Me & Magdalena” via download having to pay extra for them AND not having them available on CD is pretty crappy. Shameful practices, Rhino.
Terrifying is worth getting, I don’t know how they left it off the album.
I liked the sample I heard, though I couldn’t form a full opinion from that. I will download it, along with the other version of “Magdalena” (which I like even more than the album version).
From a sales standpoint, this seems to be,working for Rhino, but it’s still bad customer relations. I will be mighty p***ed if they end up doing a Deluxe Edition in six months with all of the bonus tracks on one CD.
There was only 3 Shrek movies. The third one had two different titles. I like “Good Times”, but we should have gotten all the tunes, instead of gouging the loyal fans.
So well conceived and executed. Really unbelievable for these guys to sound so fresh yet not modernized.
The energy in this one is palpable. Wishing to have been there during the recordings. It just sounds like fun.
A welcome addition to the heavy summer rotation.
It’s been out for a while now and I’m still listening to this album a lot. It’s so good! Many people say it’s their best since the Head soundtrack and that may be true, although I really love The Monkees Present, dammit! Pool It and Justus were okay, but Good Times is clearly their best since the 60s.
Me & Magdalena is the best song on the album IMO, really every song Mike sings is great, but it’s “hard to believe” how great Micky sounds for his age! It’s unreal – the guy is 71 and you absolutely can’t tell.
If you haven’t seen this yet, they also hit a home run with the animated video for You Bring the Summer. Instant classic.

SEOUL, July 12 (Yonhap) -- The office of President Park Geun-hye burst out in anger Friday and demanded the main opposition Democratic Party apologize after its floor spokesman insulted her by calling her an offspring of a man who shouldn't have been born.
Rep. Hong Ihk-pyo made the remark Thursday, accusing Park of trying to revive the dictatorial rule of her father, former strongman President Park Chung-hee, as the opposition stepped up attacks on her over allegations the state spy agency attempted to influence December's presidential election in her favor.
Hong called the late Park "gwitae" or a "baby born to a ghost," meaning he should not have been born, while citing a book about him and former Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi, current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's maternal grandfather who was once imprisoned as a class-A war criminal.
Hong called President Park and Abe "offsprings of gwitae," and claimed that both leaders are similar in that Abe is trying to revive Japanese militarism and Park appears to be dreaming of going back to the authoritarian rule of her father.
The presidential office Cheong Wa Dae bristled at the remark later Thursday, calling it an affront to the people who elected Park. And on Friday, the office further stepped up criticism and lashed out at the lawmaker.
"The remark makes us question his qualification as a lawmaker. It was verbal abuse and a slur that we can't even believe was made by a lawmaker representing the people," senior presidential press secretary Lee Jung-hyun said.
"This amounts to denying the legitimacy of a president chosen by the people and a direct challenge to liberal democracy," he said. "We ask if the spokesman's remark is the Democratic Party's official position. The opposition party should clearly state its position and apologize to the people and the president."
Park has disavowed any link to the spy agency's election meddling, stressing she had no knowledge of the acts, nor did she benefit from the alleged wrongdoing. But opposition lawmakers have accused her of being lukewarm about the scandal, even threatening to launch a campaign to make her election null and void.
The ruling Saenuri Party canceled all of its scheduled floor events for the day in protest of the remark.
The rival parties had earlier agreed to visit the National Archives of Korea in Seongnam, south of Seoul, later in the day to select what could be controversial passages from a transcript of late President Roh Moo-hyun's 2007 summit meeting with then North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.
The excerpts would serve to verify claims by the ruling party that Roh tried to scrap a disputed Yellow Sea border with North Korea during the summit. The ruling party claims the late president undermined South Korea's sovereignty, while the opposition party insists the allegations are nonsense and aimed at diverting public attention away from the spy agency scandal.
"How can the ruling and opposition parties meet and talk calmly in this situation?" Rep. Choi Kyoung-hwan, the floor leader of the ruling party, asked Yonhap News Agency by phone. "We are suspending our entire floor schedule and plan to discuss measures (to handle the situation)."
The DP expressed regret at the ruling party's move, saying it will press ahead with its floor schedule.
"The reason (the two parties agreed to) disclose the transcript was so that we could prevent further political strife and further division in public opinion," said Rep. Jung Sung-ho, the DP's first vice floor leader. "It's unacceptable that a ruling party with power and responsibilities has canceled it like this."
The DP will consider sending only its lawmakers to the state archives agency if the ruling party refuses to comply, he added.

I thought I’d try something new this year; early preparation.
To be clear, though, I’m not going to attempt NaNoWrimo this year, because I’m way too busy right now. However, in previous years, I would often post things to help people who were doing NaNoWriMo during the month of November, when the event occurs and this year, I thought I’d start early to let anyone who was writing get their prep out of the way. So, here in the earliest stages of planning, you hopefully have an idea what you may want to write and, while you’ve been thinking about it for weeks or months, maybe you haven’t captured those thoughts. In the past, I’ve used dozens of notebooks of every shape, size and description to scribble down every stray thought I may have had about whatever project I had in mind. The only problem is, I could never seem to get the ideas all gathered together and into a useful format. That’s where Evernote came in.
Once you’ve checked out Evernote, then go read their article Prepare for NaNoWriMo with Evernote. It’s got some great ideas for how to capture your story and character ideas via Evernote, which you can then reference on your writing computer or your smart phone. It’s pretty awesome!
And, if that wasn’t enough, they even have some great creative writing templates you can integrate into your personal creative writing notebook.
Trust me, it’s never to early to start planning and you will not regret using Evernote once you start!
So, let’s gear up for a month’s worth of creative writing resources in preparation for National Novel Writing Month!

The two-day free event at La Rocquier School on Saturday, 16 and Sunday, 17 February will promote and encourage islanders to discover Jersey’s unique wildlife.
Saturday will feature talks and training sessions where islanders can find out about different native species and the work that volunteers do. Islanders can sign up to as many or as few of the sessions as they like on Eventbrite and learn about wildlife monitoring and research in butterflies, bats, amphibians and reptiles.
Research Ecologist for Growth, Housing and Environment, Nina Cornish, has said more volunteers are needed to help contribute to local initiatives to improve and protect the natural environment. “We are hoping that more people will consider becoming Wild Volunteers after hearing and learning about how to get involved.
On Sunday, islanders can find out how to make their gardens and other local areas safe havens for nature. The day will be filled with tips and activities to educate and raise awareness within the community about the role of pollinators and the importance of sowing seeds.
Fiona Murphy from Seedy Sunday said: “At the heart of the event is the seed swap table with thousands of seeds just waiting to be snapped up. This idea of sharing seeds has been around for centuries and today we swap seeds, to help biodiversity, raise awareness and because it’s fun!

Our current Roundtable considers Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, which is to be argued at the Supreme Court in the October 2012 term. In Fisher, the Court will consider whether the University of Texas’s use of race in its undergraduate admissions process is lawful under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The parties, Justices, and our authors have much material to work with on this issue. There is a long line of landmark Supreme Court cases concerning race and education, including Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1; Grutter v. Bollinger; Grutter‘s sister case, Gratz v. Bollinger; Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, and of course Brown v. Board of Education.
Professors Vikram Amar, James Blumstein, Tomiko Brown-Nagin, Girardeau Spann, and Gerald Torres have each considered the precedents and offered their views on how the Court might—or should—approach this case in their “First Take” essays below. Professors Amar, Spann, and Torres have considered the essays of their colleagues and offer some additional thoughts, comments, and ideas in their “Responses” below. We hope you find this Roundtable informative and engaging.

Q: Can you explain the different types of sessions?
A: A sample session is an opportunity to get to know each other! To tell me about yourself and your goals, then get a taste of coaching to experience for yourself what it has to offer you. A discovery session is our first coaching session where we explore what is truly important to you and the key components to you living a fulfilling life. A regular session follows the discovery session where we work on the key areas identified to achieve your goals. When was the last time you got to talk about YOU - your hopes and dreams, what you want out of life - openly, without judgement. Give coaching a try....you might just find it completely amazing!
Q: How many sessions do you recommend having?
A: It really depends on what you’re looking to achieve. Best results are seen having sessions once a week. I recommend this frequency when people are first starting out, are highly motivated to achieve results or are in a moment of crisis. After this initial stage, having sessions every 2-3 weeks is sufficient depending on your goals. I offer Starter Packages to new clients that provides two months of discounted coaching sessions to get you off to the right start and on your way to the life you want to live!
Q: Where do coaching sessions take place?
A: Coaching sessions can be done in person, over the phone or Skype/Facetime depending on your location and preference.

PHR Adjustable Rear Traction Bars are a great solution for those looking for that edge over the competion. These bars are recommended for Drag Racing, Circuit Racing, and even perform well on street cars.
In drag racing, the trac bars can help to eliminate wheel-hop as well as change the spindle angle so you can set your ideal launch and down trac geometry. In addition, preload increase or decrease and improve reaction times and forward push increase out of the hole as well as contribute to control of front end lift and rear end squat.
In circuit racing, the trac bars help to eliminate wheel-hop in corner entry and can inprove bite on corner exit. They can improve vehicle response to driver input by eliminating the squishy factory bushing and allow full adjustablility for helping to adjust your suspension geometry.
Street cars can take advantage of all of the above stated benefits, but will have more road feedback into the chassis as the factory bushing is eliminated and vibration transfers more easily, although most people may not notice any difference.
The PHR Adjustable Trac Bars are made from swaged steel tubes and are knurled for adjustment grip. The Rod end is of chomoly 2-piece contruction for durability and our clevis end is tig welded and gusseted for strength.

The second major tournament of the new Dota 2 professional season has concluded. In the Grand Finals of DreamLeague Season 8 Team Secret defeated Team Liquid 3-0.
The tournament features eight participating teams, one team qualified from each North America, South America, China, and Southeast Asia regions, while another four teams made it through the joint Europe and CIS online league. The tournament skipped the group stage, instead all teams were placed in a double-elimination playoffs bracket with best-of-three regular matches and best-of-five grand finals.
Both Team Secret and Team Liquid made it all the way through the upper bracket and faced each other in the Winner’s Finals. Liquid lost 1-2 and dropped to the lower bracket, where they outplayed Evil Geniuses 2-0 and deserved a return match in the grand finals against Secret. Even though the teams played very close in the first two games, both of the maps ended in the favor of the team led by Puppey, and in the third game it looked like Liquid had their moral low and lost the series 0-3.
DreamLeague Season 8 was held on December 1-3 at Elmia Conventional Centre in Jönköping, Sweden. The prize pool was set at $1,000,000.

The northern coastal province of Quang Ninh has outlined comprehensive measures to attract key projects in trade, aiming to become a leading service centre in the country.
Two years ago, local authorities granted approval for a master plan to develop the trade sector by 2025 with a vision towards 2030. The province aimed to increase added value by an average of 12.5 - 13.5 percent during 2016 – 2020, 14.5 - 15.5 percent during 2021 – 2025, and 10 - 11 percent during 2026 – 2030.
As part of efforts to lure trade projects, the province has worked to improve transport infrastructure, including projects upgrading the Uong Bi - Ha Long segment in National Road 18, Quang Ninh airport, and Ha Long - Hai Phong expressway.
Due attention has been paid to transportation in border areas, facilitating and promoting trade with China via Bac Luan border gate.
Besides encouraging local investors to remove bottlenecks and accelerate the land clearance process, the province is exerting efforts to hasten administrative reform in 2018 towards improving the province’s competitive capacity.
Last year, Quang Ninh for the first time rose to the first place in the Public Administrative Reform (PAR) Index with 89.54 points, which was 6.72 points higher than its score in 2016. Meanwhile, it was ranked 5th in the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) index among 63 cities and province nationwide and in top two of Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI), moving up 30 steps compared to the previous year.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Van Doc has instructed relevant sectors and branches to press ahead with administrative procedure reforms; enhance the efficiency of public administrative centres; cut unnecessary administrative procedures; complete e-government apparatus; and pay due attention to providing training for public servants.
Thanks to their efforts, the province has mobilised huge resources to develop markets, supermarket chains, and shopping malls. It is now home to 27 supermarkets and five shopping centres, with the presence of both domestic and international renowned giants such as Vincom, MM Mega Market, Big C, Lotte, and Lan Chi mart, among others.
Following the success of the Vincom Centre Ha Long, real estate and retail conglomerate Vingroup decided to inaugurate another shopping centre, Vincom+, in the Yen Thanh urban area, Uong Bi city in 2017. A shopping mall, food court, and entertainment zone are arranged within the complex, meeting the demands of both local people and tourists.
In May, Vingroup’s Vincom Retail JSC launched its Vincom Shophouse Complex in Mong Cai city, with Vincom Plaza looking likely to become a promising shopper’s paradise in the border city.
The firm is working on a master plan to branch out to a townhouse and service zone in Cam Binh ward, Cam Pha city.
In addition, the province has seen an increasing number of Vinmart+ convenient stores providing high-quality products and services. Most of the current 23 Vinmart+ stores are in Ha Long and Uong Bi cities, with more stores looking to be opened in other surrounding localities – demonstrating Quang Ninh’s success in attracting investment for trade development.
Many local companies have shifted their attention to investment in the trade sector towards sustainable development. Duc Phu Co., Ltd is carrying out a culture, sports, and services project with a total capital of 300 billion VND (12.9 million USD) in Uong Bi city. Upon operation in the end of this year, the project will create a facelift for the surrounding urban area, contributing towards both the city and province’s local trade and service system.
Social resources have been mobilised to repair and upgrade traditional markets like Cam Thuy market in Cam Thuy city, and Thanh Son market in Uong Bi city.

DeKalb police are cracking down on street racing along Moreland Avenue one week after a car ran through concrete barriers, smashed into a business and flipped on its side.
The owners of George Imports told Channel 2 Action News they believe the driver who wrecked their auto repair shop Aug. 12 was drag racing. The stretch of Moreland Avenue near Key Road is notorious for it, they said.
On Sunday night, officers were out in force making arrests and towing cars, Channel 2 reported.
"Driving is a privilege in DeKalb County,” police Lt. J. Germano told the news station. “We're not going to put up with it anymore."
Thirty units and wreckers were involved in the operation.
That driver was arrested and his car was impounded, police told Channel 2.
A car ran off Moreland Avenue, flipped and crashed into an auto repair shop Sun., Aug. 12. The shop's owners said that stretch of Moreland Avenue is notorious for street racing.
Michael Parrish, the auto repair shop’s owner, said he’s made repairs to his business a half-dozen times over the last few years after cars have slammed into it. He installed concrete barriers as a safety measure.
Germano said DeKalb police will continue to work with Atlanta police to address drag racing on Moreland Avenue. Part of the road falls within Atlanta’s jurisdiction.
Similar operations could be planned for the future, he said.
