Chiefs' Khune On His Shoulder Injury Ahead Of Bafana Clash

Kaizer Chiefs’ Itumeleng Khune says that he will be fine for Saturday’s encounter as the medical team at Bafana Bafana is taking good care of his shoulder injury.

The South African national team are currently in camp where they are gearing up for Saturday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying encounter against Burkina Faso at the FNB Stadium.

Head Coach Stuart Baxter was without the services of the Chiefs’ shot-stopper in the country’s two previous encounters where Bafana suffered back-to-back losses against Cape Verde.

However, the 30-year-old has since returned to the squad and despite currently still nursing an injury to his shoulder, Khune is positive that he will be fine for Bafana’s must-win encounter on Saturday, October 07.

“I will be fine for the match, it’s a very important game for all of us and we need all the players fit to go compete and make the country proud. I am struggling with my shoulder but the medical teams from my club and Bafana Bafana are taking good care of it and I am feeling much better,” Khune told the South African Football Association’s official website.

Dhaka Medical College is an academic institute located at Dhaka. It was established on 01 January, 1946.

Dhaka Medical College is a medical college and hospital located in Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. It is situated in the Bakshibazar area of the city, close to the University of Dhaka and the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.

After beginning the journey in 10th July 1946, Dhaka Medical College established a new era in the history of medical education in Bangladesh. The original idea for the establishment of a medical college in Dhaka was placed to the British Government in 1939 but shelved because of World War II. After the war, a committee was formed in 1945 and on recommendation of the committee; Dhaka Medical College started its glorious journey on July 10, 1946.

The college did not have a building of its own at the beginning; the present hospital building was built before the partition of Bengal in 1905. It was used as the secretariat of newly formed provinces of East Bengal and Assam.  In 1921, it was turned into a part of University of Dhaka. During World War II the medical centre building became an American armed forces hospital. The Americans vacated the building at the end of the war and finally, the journey started on 1946. Major W. J. Virgin, the head of the committee formed to establish the Dhaka Medical College, was the first principal.

In keeping with the modest beginning, the newly created medical college started in the present hospital building with only four departments- Medicine, Surgery, Gynae and Otolaryngology. Now, Dhaka Medical College has 42 departments offering both MBBS and post graduate courses. Now, the MBBS course admitting around 190 students each year. Post graduate courses offering MD, M.Phil and Diploma in 42 disciplines and this courses now conducted by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Some short term training courses of different disciplines are running in collaboration with various organizations.

This historical institution has produced more then 10000 doctors who has kept great role in society. Dhaka Medical College dormitory (known as Barrack) was the heart of the language movement from 1948 to 1952. Students of this Medical College sacrifice their lives for the Langugage movement. The Shaheed Minar for language movement was established within DMCH compound which was later separated. In 1971, during the liberation war many students and doctors of this institution took part directly and indirectly to the war.

Starting with only one building, Dhaka Medical College now consists of a college building with a new extension, an auditorium, a Nuclear Medicine Centre, male and female dormitories, burn units etc. scattered on about 25 acres of land. In 34 different departments and 42 wards – 234 doctors, 140 interns, 560 nurses and 1100 other staffs are dedicated to ensure 24-hour health services both in indoor and outdoor. The hospital now consists of about 2300 beds with a new academic and hospital building with a bone marrow transplantation facility rendering services to almost 3500 inpatients every day.

Sokia, pseudonym for Solange Kirschen, is born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a young girl she appears to have a lot of talent for drawing. In connection with the unstable political situation in Argentina under Videla and partly under the threat of abduction, she moves with her family to Brussels. In Brussels, Sokia goes through the Lycée Français. Then she studies sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts. An artistic future is on the horizon. Through her marriage with a Dutchman she ends up in the Netherlands. She initially focuses on painting, but has in the meantime embraced her passion for drawing. Sokia lives and works in the Netherlands.

Her painting is characterized by a cosmopolitan, mystical approach. Her powerful brushstroke is immediately recognizable. Earthy ground tones with mostly strong contrasting colors are Sokia's trademark. Her oeuvre is exponential for the searching, 21st century man. Her special collection was exhibited for the first time in the Netherlands in The Hague.

A woman claims she was refused anorexia treatment because she 'wasn't thin enough'.

Hope Virgo, from Bristol, was once 'on the brink of death' from anorexia when she started to relapse in 2016.

She said she wanted treatment before she ended up in hospital again, but was told by an Eating Disorder Unit in London that she 'wasn't thin enough for support.'

She has now started a petition called #dumpthescales, which urges the Government to review how they look at eating disorders.

The petition has almost 70,000 signatures and is being brought to parliament by Bath MP Wera Hobhouse today (April 10).

'I felt like a fake. A hypocrite.'

Hope said that before seeking treatment for a second time, she spent four months battling with the voice in her head.

She said the voice was 'relentless' and was "nagging at me day in and day out".

After being refused treatment, Hope said: "I left the appointment not sure what to do, all I had wanted was someone to talk to, someone to take my relapse seriously and to give me some help. I felt like a fake. A hypocrite."

She said she was left feeling 'suicidal' and eventually had to work through her condition on her own.

Hope added that she's concerned because her story isn't unique but a "daily occurrence for people with all eating disorders who are seeking treatment."

She's hoping that with her petition, she can change how people are judged before being accepted for eating disorder treatment.

Hope's petition will reach 10 Downing Street today.

She said: “I can't quite believe we have got this far with the #DumpTheScales campaign.

Each day so many individuals face injustices when it comes to accessing treatment and diagnosis for an eating disorder. This is not right on so many levels and we need to work to change this. #DumpTheScales is doing just this!”

“Tackling the injustices of people with eating disorders whilst changing entire public understanding so that everyone knows you don't have to be stick thin to have an eating disorder.

"Having MP Wera Hobhouse's ongoing support is just fantastic. But we need more cross party support and a real commitment to tackle this now."

Wera Hobhouse said: “Working alongside Hope and meeting others who have suffered with eating disorders, I’ve learned just how widespread this family of conditions is.

"I am shocked by the number of people who are affected nationally and in my constituency in Bath. No one should have to suffer alone.

"I admire everyone who has had the courage to share their stories, to help raise awareness and increase understanding.

“The Liberal Democrats want to improve people’s lives by introducing standard waiting times for adults, and putting a penny on the pound on income tax to put straight in to the NHS.

"The huge number of people who have signed the petition is a testament to the need for urgent change."

A benefits cheat who claimed thousands of pounds from the state while working at Asda in Yeovil claimed she had been put under pressure from her bosses to work extra hours.

Sara-Jayne Williams-Lima (formerly Cole) was paid more than £8,000 in Income Support and Housing Benefit over the course of nearly a year after failing to declare she had got a job at Asda in Yeovil.

However when she appeared before Somerset Magistrates to be sentenced she said she had felt “pressured” that she would be sacked if she did not agree to the management’s demands.

As a result she kept her working hours at the store on Preston Road a secret for nine months while fraudulently pocketing the benefits.

The 53-year-old defendant, of Cunningham Road, Yeovil, pleaded guilty that between March 13, 2017 and December 31, 2017 at Yeovil she failed to promptly notify South Somerset District Council of a change of circumstances which she knew would affect her entitlement to Housing Benefit, namely that she was employed by Asda supermarket.

She also admitted a similar offence between February 17 and November 1 by failing to promptly notify the Department for Work and Pensions of a change of circumstances affecting her entitlement to Income Support.

Prosecutor Christine Hart told the court at Yeovil said that the total overpayments received by Williams-Lima were £6,920.50 in Housing Benefit and £1,539.63 in Income Support.

“This was initially money she was entitled to but she failed to notify the DWP about a change of circumstances, namely that she had been working for Asda between these dates,” she said.

“If the facts had been known then either no benefits or a reduced amount would have been paid.

“When Williams-Lima was interviewed about the matter she said she had telephoned the benefits centre and had written a letter to South Somerset District Council saying she was working.

“However she later said she did not know what to do and was a bit naïve and should have chased it up.”

The court was told that there was no evidence ever produced that she had declared anything to the two authorities and her guilty plea in court reflected that.

Appearing unrepresented, Williams-Lima said she had been diagnosed with an incurable medical condition which would only get worse and also affected her mental health.

“They kind of pressured you at work that if you didn’t do overtime then they would sack you,” she said.

“They did that to a lot of people and a lot of workers have left because of it.”

The magistrates sentenced the defendant to a three month curfew order requiring her to remain at her home address between the hours of 5pm and 9am daily while fitted with an electronic tag.

They also ordered her to pay £85 costs and an £85 victim surcharge after hearing that she was already repaying back the amount she owed to the DWP.

Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart

Album: The Supremes A' Go-Go (1966)
Charted: 9

  • The Supremes had a "burning, yearning feelin'" inside them on their first hit, "Where Did Our Love Go." In this song, they've "been bit by the love bug," causing an itch in their hearts that drives them crazy in every way, shape and form because there's no way to scratch it. Both of these symptom-based songs were written by the Motown team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland, the trio responsible for most of the group's output.
  • The lyrics border on parody, but Eddie Holland insisted they were grounded in real heartbreak, as both he and his brother Brian were going through some "heavy s--t" in their personal lives at the time. "The lyrics were coming from two broken hearts," he said. "Love isn't only yearning and burning in the heart, it's an itching that you can't make go away - it taunts you."

    He said the song is about "completely hopeless frustration."
  • This song was recorded in 1965 but was not released until a year later. Unlike most of the Supremes' hits which had light and airy feelings and were pop-styled, this song has a sound that had a more soulful and brassy feeling that was usually heard in the hits of Martha & the Vandellas and the Four Tops (interestingly, Martha & the Vandellas had a hit one year later that sounded more like a Supremes song: "Jimmy Mack").
  • The music was played by Motown session musicians called the Funk Brothers. Out front in the mix on this track is the piano by Earl Van Dyke and bass by James Jamerson. Mike Terry did the saxophone solo. >>
    Suggestion credit:
    Jerro - New Alexandria, PA
  • Released as a single with "He's All I Got" on the B-side, this song underperformed by Supremes standards, peaking at #9 in the US. They were one of the hottest acts in America, with six #1 hits under their belt. Their next single, "You Can't Hurry Love," returned them to their chart-topping ways, starting a run of four consecutive #1 hits.

    Not everyone shared this success equally: the group had little control of their finances and Motown head Berry Gordy was grooming lead singer Diana Ross for a solo career. Mary Wilson put up with it but Florence Ballard had a rough go, butting heads with Gordy and suffering a number of health problems. She left the group a year later.

  • Barry from Sauquoit, Ny"Love is Like an Itching In My Heart" was track one of side one in the trio's ninth studio album, 'The Supremes A' Go-Go', and on October 22nd, 1966 the album peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart, thus becoming the first album by a all-female group to reach #1 on the Top 200 Albums chart.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn May 1st 1966, the Supremes performed "Love is Like an Itching In My Heart" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
    One week earlier on April 24th, 1966 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #62; and on May 22nd it peaked at #9 (for 1 week) and spent 8 weeks on the Top 100...
    It reached #7 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart...
    The trio's next four releases all peaked at #1; started with "You Can't Hurry Love", "You Keep Me Hangin' On", "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone", and finally "The Happening"...
    R.I.P. Mr. Ballard (1943 - 1976) and Mr. Sullivan (1901 - 1974).
  • Randy from Fayettevile, ArBack in 1966 this was a big hit for The Supremes, even though it didn't hit #1 as most of their singles did. It was a really good song to dance to because of the heavy beat and the rhythm. The horns accentuated the beat very well. And it sounded like someone was whipping tire chains on the floor. Wild! This single was much more raw & gritty than the usual Supremes' material & hits to that point and proved they could really rock it up. Actually, I always thought it sounded like something Martha & The Vandellas would release. In other words, a powerful R&B rocker!
  • Elmer H from Westville, OkMercy! The Supremes were "cooking" when this hit climbed the charts in '66. Those DRIVING DRUMS were just awesome. I still love this song because it's so raw & downright nasty that ya just cannot keep from dancing to it. Yep, it was a jukebox favorite when I was in college. I recall that most of the college bars in Lawrence, Kansas had this on their jukeboxes & it got the dudes & the dudettes to rocking & a-rolling. Everything about this hit was perfect------the Supremes, the drums, the brass, the beat, & the arrangement.
  • Guy from Montréal, QcI loved that record back in 1966 and I still do but I always thought there was something a little weird about it. In fact, that tune was ten years ahead of its time. I was surprised nobody made a cover of it during the disco years.
  • John from Nashville, TnThe four-on-the-floor beat of this record predates disco.
  • Kristin from Bessemer, AlOnce the intro comes on, its very hard to sit still-Great dance tune!!
  • Andre from The Bronx, NyDiana delivers!! This H-D-H song is a non-stop rock 'n' soul sensation from beginning to end. Like the song says, it's "burnin'"!! A real face-paced everybody-dance hit song. -- Dre
  • Tanya from La Verne, CaA very cute tune by one of the best girl groups!

The 10 stages of learning German

Learning a new skill is always difficult – there are lots of ups, downs and curves along the way to becoming an expert. Here are some of the notable points I have experienced in my German-learning journey. Let me know if you’ve had some memorable moments that are different!

1. The honeymoon phase

At the beginning of your relationship with the German language, you are fully motivated and ready to learn. You buy the books. You start watching movies dubbed in German or some German movies. You join a course full of other international, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed students. Life is good because you are motivated and determined to take on this monstrous task and you feel proud of yourself for starting.

2. Jumping into the deep end and only slightly panicking

You’re having some trouble memorizing the vocabulary and what’s with all these articles? You’ve got the alphabet down, which helps a lot since German pronunciation is pretty straightforward once you figure out how to pronounce each sound. The fact that it’s getting harder is apparent, but you’ve still got a bit of gas left from the honeymoon phase.

3. Skepticism

You begin questioning yourself and the learnability of this language. There are really people who become fluent in a few years? Can that really be? Despite your deep-seated doubts at this point, you prevail forward.

4. Thinking you sound ridiculous

Now you’ve come to the point where you think you should speak more German in your daily life. Maybe you decide to find a tandem partner or you ask a German friend or colleague to speak German with you more often. This may work for a few sentences, but then you get shy and prefer to switch back to English (or other language).

5. Semi-confidence

You’ve finally realized that nobody is going to make fun of your accent and you feel better about speaking with people. Of course, they may chuckle if you make the wrong word choice, but can you really expect them not to laugh when you say, “Mir ist kalt. Ich brauche ein Schaf.” when really you meant to say, “Mir ist kalt. Ich brauche einen Schal.”?

Mir ist kalt. Ich brauche ein Schaf. = I’m cold. I need a sheep.
Mir ist kalt. Ich brauche einen Schal. = I’m cold. I need a scarf.

6. Frustration and feeling of utter failure

Here is where you hit a breaking point. This might consist of a day where you keep having unlucky interaction after unlucky interaction. Maybe you visited the post office and they misunderstood what you wanted and got annoyed with the laborious communication. Or maybe you visited the Ausländerbehörde (foreigners office), which we all know is a soul-sucking experience. And how the hell does anyone figure out this stupid declension thing?!? This is when you feel your lowest during your language-learning journey and you feel like you will never achieve the fluency level you want.

7. Cool-down and re-energize

Your meltdown is over and you start reflecting. Is it really that bad? you think. Is it really that hard considering some of the other hard times I’ve had? You get a renewed sense of motivation and make steps to continue improving. Maybe at this point you seek out a German tandem partner or make an effort to make more German friends so you can really work on speaking more.

8. Something clicks

This stage is the hardest to explain if you’ve never learned a foreign language until now. At a certain point, you’ll get to the top of a hill and a lot of your struggles will seem like a thing of the past. (Of course, this isn’t the only hill in your German-learning journey.)

Complicated grammar structures suddenly start to make much more sense and you gradually use them more and more. You can now more confidently recognize the difference between füllen and fühlen. *Hint: the vowel in the second verb is longer. You may even take a stab at the past modal perfect tense, i.e. Ich hätte das machen können. (I could have done that.)

9. Your true personality comes back

It was always there, but when learning a language in the beginning, you are just trying to understand and be understood at a more basic level. It is extremely hard to tell jokes or say those little things in conversation that make you you. Now you finally feel like you can be more yourself in German and maybe let loose a little more.

10. Feeling of success! But also staying cautious...

Finally you reach a point where you feel comfortable speaking with not only friends and colleagues in German, but also strangers. Your heart no longer beats a million times a minute when someone asks you which transit line will get them to the airport. You might even feel comfortable enough to start incorporating filler words into your speech such as mal or halt. But you always stay cautious because you know something could come out of nowhere and give you an Ohrfeige (slap in the face), like trying to do your taxes in German…😮

If you’ve made it to this point, a huge round of applause is in order! If not, don’t worry, you’ll get there someday if you continue working hard and rolling with the punches.

What does the pickup do on a guitar?

Inside a pickup is a magnet and coil

The pickup could be said to be the “heart” of an electric guitar. This device converts string vibrations into electricity, and is embedded in the body of the guitar right beneath the strings. Pickups use coils, which you may remember from conducting science experiments in school.

How does a humbucker guitar pickup work?

Humbuckers work by pairing a coil that has the north poles of its magnets oriented “up” (toward the strings) with another coil right next to it with the south pole of its magnets oriented up.

How do guitar pickups work physics?

Guitar string (brown) near the magnet becomes magnetized by the magnetic field. As it vibrates, it makes a changing magnetic field of its own. Coil of thin wire (yellow) wrapped around the pickup detects (“picks up”) this magnetic field. The field generates (“induces”) a tiny electric current in the coil.

Why are there 3 pickups on a guitar?

Electric guitars have multiple pickups (two or three typically) because each pickup is set on a different part of the guitar’s body giving it more tone control opportunities.

Do pickups really make difference?

Pickups definetly make a huge difference, especially stylistically with your sound, but yes amps have more of an impact. Remember, your pickups decide how and what your amp recieves, and then your amp sculpts that to form what you hear. changing the pickups can drastically change the tone of a guitar!

Do guitar pickups break in?

Pickups are magnets with a coil of wire wrapped around them. When the strings vibrate they disturb the magnetic field around the pickups which generates a small current in the coil. There’s nothing there to break in.

Are humbuckers better than single coil?

Single-coil pickups tend to have brighter, crisper tone. Comparitively, humbuckers typically have what guitarists describe as a “thicker” sound; one that is perceived as rounder and warmer. … Conversely, humbuckers tend to be more popular with jazz, heavy rock and metal players.

Do humbucker covers affect tone?

Generally metal covers will knock some of the highs off, making the pickup sound warmer or darker, while plastic covers will have no effect at all. It is generally found that the most magnetically transparent metal cover available is high quality nickel silver.

How far should my pickups be from the strings?

Using a 6″ (150 mm) ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the first and sixth strings to the top of the pole piece. A good rule of thumb is that the distance should be greatest at the sixth-string neck pickup position, and closest at the first-string bridge pickup position.

What is the point of a 12 string guitar?

12-string guitars will provide you that perfect filling space and rich tone you are looking for in improvised acoustic instruments. After the fingerpicking, they are full of the warm sound that will fill up your room. 12-string guitars bring closer to you the extra energy when strummed with remarkable resonation.

Does an electric guitar need an amp?

Yes, electric guitars can be played without an amp. They will not, however, project as much sound if they’re not plugged in. As any musician might tell you, an amplifier is a crucial part of a setup that involves an electric guitar. It can help to amplify the sound and add an extra ‘oomph’ to it.

How do I know if my guitar is grounded?

Usually that ground point will be the back of a pot or the sleeve of the output jack. When it’s properly grounded, you can touch the strings of your guitar and you’ll usually hear the background hiss reduce. Yay.

How do I know if my pickups are broken?

If pickups are weak and you turn the tone control to zero and the volume goes away then there is a break in the coil or connection. You register no DC ohm reading from a meter, the coil may be damaged or shorted.

Red Cross Deals with the Effects of Coronavirus

Aug 4, 2020

Even though the nation is in the midst of the COVID pandemic, other needs go on.  A big one is the need for blood.  According to Red Cross spokesman Ben Williamson, hundreds of blood drives have been cancelled or rescheduled by the pandemic in the last few months.   As a result, thousands of pints of blood have been lost to hospitals.

But the lack of blood hasn't stopped the need, said Williamson.  "There are kids that have cancer that need blood.  There are still accidents happening where transfusions are needed.  As elective surgeries have picked back up at hospitals, that need for blood has gotten even greater.  As we live in this COVID-19 environment, we are continuing that mission."

As with most other institutions, the spread of the coronavirus has caused the Red Cross to adapt to circumstances and change its routines, Williamson said.  "When you show up as a blood donor, you're required to wear a mask.  Our staff, our volunteers, they're all wearing masks.  Before you're ever allowed into a building or a blood drive, you're asked screening questions."   Also upon entry, staff, volunteers and donors have their temperatures taken.  In addition, throughout the building "a deep cleaning takes place in the morning and at night.  We've staggered appointments.  We are limiting capacity inside buildings so we can spread our donation beds out."

The public is responding to the Red Cross's changes.  On a recent afternoon, Julie Lumpkin visited the Columbia Red Cross center to donate blood.  "I'm here because I want to do something in response to the COVID crisis," she said, "and this seemed to be a way that I could give back to the community and help somebody."

Lumpkin said the spread of the virus initially gave her pause, but careful consideration overcame any doubts about safety.  "I did think about it.  I had been very careful about where I was going out in the last four months.  So every decision I've made to go out was very well thought through, and this also.  I decided that if anybody knew how to keep a place safe and sanitized, the Red Cross would."

Her fellow donor, nursing student Etta Smith, said the pandemic did not bother her as she considered donating.  "I was in nursing school, so I know I'm going around infected people all the time, in the hospital during my clinicals.  That's the reason I got into it.  It doesn't frighten me or put fear in me at all."

Like the others, Bryant McGowan expressed confidence in the Red Cross's precautions to keep staff and donors safe.  "I'm happy to do it," said the long-time donor.  "It's uncomfortable wearing a mask, but it's a small price to pay."

In fact, added nurse Ebony Asmine, "a lot of people would think it's been slow, but we've been busy, busy, busy.  Everybody wants to come out and help."   She said the cancellation of off-site blood drives has not slowed the flow of donors at the collection center.  As if to make up for those losses, she said, "since they have slowed down the mobiles, we have picked up.  So everybody's coming from everywhere, coming to donate here."

But blood collection is not the Red Cross's sole mission.  Disaster relief work continues, said Williamson, and that's an area where COVID also has caused changes.  When responding to home fires, he said, "We have had great success responding virtually."  He recalled a recent large apartment fire in Charleston the Red Cross responded to.  "Usually we would have quite a few volunteers go out there, but we actually had only, I think four or five go out to the fire, and we had over a half dozen volunteers that were working and responding virtually."  The spokesman said that technique is one that will almost certainly be continued after the pandemic has faded.

In addition to the continuing need for blood donations, one area where the organization is looking for more help is getting more volunteers.  Normally, people would come from across the country - even recently as far as Washington state - to aid in a crisis, but COVID again has interfered, cutting down on people's ability to travel.  Williamson said he hopes more home-grown talent will help fill the gap to keep their Palmetto State neighbors safe.

New cars, new homes: these celebs are prospering!

Image: Boitumelo Thulo / Instagram

Celebrities having been living their best lives recently with some big buck purchases. They clearly heeded Ciara’s call to level up, and have been taking to social media to show us exactly what they have been doing with the paper they have been banking.

Here are three celebs that should make you want to wake up while it’s still dark outside so you can go work hard even in this winter cold.

Boity Rovin' about town

Television personality and rapper Boity Thulo has a new set of wheels. The Ba Kae rapper got a Lumma Range Rover sport V8 on Monday.

Just last week the 29 year old tweeted about how ready she was for a new car and then Esther (the name she gave her car) arrived! Boity's new car comes as another big win for the star who has a fragrance line with Impulse and a body toning supplement. We stan a queen who smashes her goals and rewards herself for it.

Moshe Ndiki in an SUV

May was also full of blessings for Moshe Ndiki. The actor, presenter and comedian took to Instagram to announce that he had gifted himself a new car – a Jeep SUV.

Ndiki thanked God, his mother, his ancestors and even his own hard work for enabling him to purchase the big machine. He even named it Busiswa, because he is blessed.

Then of course when he bumped into Somizi, the two entertainers posed on their SUVs and gave us even more life.

Russell Wilson houses his mommy

Last month American football star and husband to Ciara, Russell Wilson, bought his mother a house for Mother’s Day.

Wilson surprised her with the keys to the house accompanied by his wife and daughter.

His mother was so shocked, it took a while for it to truly sink in what was happening. The star athlete uploaded a video to Instagram and then captioned it with a loving message to his mother, thanking her for loving him and never wanting anything from him other than love. We are not crying…

Spielwarenmesse: 15 new ideas of how toy stores should look in future

15 new ideas of how toy stores should look in future

from Maik Drewitz

Brick and mortar business is being faced with increasing competitive pressure from various sales channels, led by the internet. Changes in the consumer behaviour of target groups are also causing the industry to adjust its thinking. The pace of development varies in the various commercial industries. Here, development in the toy business is of particular interest. Why?

The steps in the rapid evolution of the traditional toy business can be counted one by one. First were the international chain toy store owners, opening large stores on the edge of town; then came the manufacturers, who opened up their own stores; the product range became broader and broader, augmented by the likes of computer games and merchandise articles. The product line extension is also evident in the specialisation of certain dealers in a single line, leading in turn to more competition. Some examples are shops for PC games, wooden toys, kites, outdoor toys, children’s fashion, childcare products.

All kinds of toys have also become increasingly available: Chain food store owners, discounters and furniture stores are expanding their product range and availing themselves of targeted discount campaigns to drive down margins. There has also been a strong growth in sales space in the commercial landscape as a whole over the past 15 years, seen in the increase in shopping centres and specialty stores on the edge of towns. Parallel to this growth, internet trade has become the prevailing purchasing option in terms of product overview and price transparency – with continually increasing growth figures and a continually increasing target group.

New trends change the toy trade

As if all this were not enough, yet another trend impacts the toy business: the used good trade. Everyone is familiar with second-hand markets for children’s fashion and toys on the one hand, and the flourishing market on internet classified ad portals for used children’s articles on the other. Acceptance of used articles is on the rise and becoming a "hip trend". All these commercial megatrends, among other things, have a particularly strong impact on the toy industry, which is why other industries are also looking closely at this market. Because this is the target group of tomorrow, the so-called "digital natives", the target group that would not recognize a world without the internet.

And the customer?

In this day and age, the child target group is particularly subject to rapid change. "Lived childhood" is becoming shorter and shorter, mobile phones, tablets and the like are replacing traditional toys earlier and earlier.

Also, children are generally better informed than dealers about the products they want – the internet has replaced the traditional toy catalogue here as well. The phenomenon of the customer who is perfectly informed thanks to the internet impacts all industries, but its effects are fatal for toy retailers: Children’s wish lists are so closely aligned to articles that can be purchased without limitations online, that searching for the right store to meet the child’s desires can in part resemble a search for a needle in the haystack. The customer is left with the impression that certain products could only be purchased online, considering the difficulties of finding the right dealer.

Ideas for the toy trade

But casting doubt on the survival of retail stores is overly pessimistic. Even some dealers with strictly online operations are beginning to open their own stores. So the retailing industry is looking towards the store of the future as the answer to digital competition. But is the solution to now fill stores with internet terminals? Anyhow, there is no pat answer. The industries and target groups are too different. That being said, nothing has changed in the customer’s basic need for inspiration, social exchange and direct product involvement.

But how to re-invent the toy store of the future? At the product fairs around the world manufacturers introduce many ideas of how to put their products in the limelight.

"Just imagine that the whole world is online and someone seizes upon the idea to open a store!"

True to this motto, following are a number of options for playing off the strengths of bricks and mortar trade:

  1. Themed presentation & cross-selling
    The toy industry in particular lives from quickly changing lines. Star Wars, Minions, Cars, Minecraft, the list goes on and on. Integrated presentations of individual themes create inspiration and a store overview. Selling products outside the basic product range is a retailing megatrend. It surprises customers. In the case of toys, one mostly sees fashion and accessories, stationery and computer games. In combination with a themed presentation it forms the perfect mix.

  2. Demonstrate and try out
    The dealer whose sole focus is on offering products will be reduced to pricing. Those who evoke the benefit of their product range have more in the way of arguments. There is a lot to demonstrate in the area of toys as far as product range and options are concerned, for children and adults alike. Having many areas to try out the toys generates frequency, creating a fixed meeting point of a given store for families.

  3. Target group approach
    Toy stores are not just for children. Young people, grown-ups and even grandparents want to be addressed and inspired. This holds true for store planning, such as the presence of a clear product range overview, orientation and noise level. But there can also be a targeted approach for products, among other things suggesting tips for play between father and son or between grandparents and grandchildren.

  4. "We do not have it" is no longer an option
    A huge challenge, but critical to the survival of the toy industry: Providing products that are not found in the store. A customer who leaves because they do not find the episode of the audio drama they are looking for is quickly lost for the future. The customers of the future will no longer understand why they can obtain anything from online shopping while sitting on their couches and not from specialty dealers. That is why multichannel retailing is and remains the challenge of the future.

  5. From toy store to recreation building
    The term 'toy store' may be overly restrictive in future. The target group must be expanded. Downwards, this has already frequently been the case for the baby and toddler area. A different approach is needed for older children and adults, themes such as robotics, 3-D printing and the like will otherwise be seen to elsewhere.

  6. Events
    At any rate, the stores of the future are places for inspiration and for social gatherings. A toy store offers the ideal platform: Carrera race track nights just for fathers, readings, quadrocopter test flights, demonstrations of 3-D printing and other technology and traditional game evenings.

  7. New product lines
    Toy stores are already handling a number of new themes, but is the toy store the customer’s first point of contact for things like party products, robotics or baby shower events? Many children are interested in their favourite regional sports club, why not include a small fan shop?

  8. Pop-up store
    A special area in the store can be dedicated to a specific theme, incorporating other product lines as well, for example a new product or a brand focus. Inner-city retailer cooperation is also a possibility: The toy store inserts a pop-up store at children’s fashion retailers and vice versa.

  9. Service and added value
    Many retailers have been offering added value services in stores for a long time, seeing it as a given. This includes goodies basket service, lounges for adults, special packing service, goods delivery and forwarding of products that are not available in the store. These added services must also be displayed, by such means as a digital presentation at checkout.

  10. Display window design
    For display windows, it is not the size, but rather original and focused design that attracts attention. This can certainly be supplemented by digital play elements, animated installations or light images.

  11. Digital signage
    Small screens with image films and product infos can no longer be done without, especially in the toy business. They help in orientation and selection, but should not be set up in any which way. They must not lead to visual and acoustic chaos to drive adult purchasers away.

  12. Social media
    The expertise of the individual areas of the store must be disseminated on the internet. This can be by way of product demonstrations by individual employees on video portals or through Facebook campaigns. This is how the "online kids" target group is addressed.

  13. Local internet activitiesThere are some cities or high street advertising associations offering joint online platforms that present campaigns and products. This creates a joint, local presence which is stronger on the whole, offering the opportunity for increased frequency in cities.

  14. i-beacons
    The young, digitally-oriented customers will surely like it: additional product information, the chance of personal customer contact, discount campaigns for frequent store visits. This information is transmitted to the customer’s smartphone by way of a transmitter in the vicinity of the product. A great chance for retailers to create a regular customer base.

  15. In-store photo opportunity
    Successful stores are fond of featuring an eye-catching element as background for a photo or a "selfie". The customers then disseminate these via smartphone to their friends, thereby making the store all the more popular. The photo motif does not have to be overblown. It has to be original, perhaps with a local reference, or humorous.

There are many different options for the make-up of the store of the future. Seeking solutions in digital components alone is not expedient. It is an ideal complement to the traditional, analogue elements. Any toy store owner who tries to become a better online dealer by using standard products will probably be limited to price and selection, thereby losing the race.

However, those who put together an attractive, comprehensive package using the various elements in their stores and publicizing it over the internet will become points of reference and win return visitors, thus heightening sales opportunities.

How I Earned Free Bitcoins Worth $600 With Roobet : Full Review

Today we are going to share an awesome website with you all that will earn you passive money that too without investing a penny. Of course you will see better results with investment but you can start for free too.

So today we are going to talk about a website called Roobet.

Roobet basically is an online gambling website which has several cool games in their arsenal. You can even play them for free without putting any money for an entertainment purpose or for learning the games before you invest your money into it.

roobet free bonus code

So What Casino Games Are There?

Well, too many of them and some of which are unique to Roobet itself. The casinos you could choose from are a number of card games to dice, plenty of different variants of spinning wheels and lots more. And not just the ordinary casinos, they also have quite impressive themed gamble games. These games come with immersive visual effects and good graphics, that are just perfect to give you a smooth gambling experience. This is certainly not one of your bland, one-game casino sites. You also get to check which games are being betted on in real-time. You can then see where you’ll be at bigger profits according to the audience and betting amounts with a good number of options to choose from.

Roobet Sign Up Bonus For Free Money / Level Upgrade

Simply head over to this link and use promo code roobetfree to claim your signup bonus. There’s a total of 0.001 BTC bonus for all new registrations (offer is valid for limited time so it may/may not be available by the time you’re reading this article). This is easily over $5 equivalent, with whatever fluctuating exchange rates. You also get extra bonuses with the promo codes that Roobet team often provides on their social media handles.

Apart from that, there are daily incentives which are credited to your account but are time-bound, and have to be used within the time. The withdrawals are swift and are processed instantly.

Getting Started With Roobet

1) After signing up (link is given above), you will be landed on the home page of the game like this:

roobet review

Believe me, these games are really very simple and you will learn it in hardly 5 minutes.

2) Now decide whether you want to earn money from this website or just use it for fun. If you want to earn money, then you need to have bitcoins/ethereum coins.

3) Click on deposit button and deposit the BTC’s you’re willing to bet. Cool thing is, you can even start for free by using surveys option as shown in below image. Simply complete some surveys and you will get free money that you can use to place bets.

Also, make sure to use promo code “roobetfree” for free signup bonus.

roobet promo code

4) Let’s now take an example game called Crash in roobet.

So each round of this game lasts for 15-20 seconds. The rocket might fly for like 5 seconds or might fly for 20 seconds too. The more it fly, the more you earn. See the multiplier 1.34x. It continuously increases as long as the rocket fly. So if you put $1 in bet and SET 4x multiplier (in auto cashout field), you basically make $4 in return when rocket crosses 4x multiplier and I have personally got 4x multiplIers many times.

BUT if the rocket crashes at 1x, you lose all the money. Good thing is, you can even place bets of $0.001 or even less than that. So you can play it safely without burning too much money before you start generating good cash.

roobet crash game

Roobet Payments & Withdrawals

You can cashout the amount once it reaches $10. You can only cashout via Bitcoins and the payments are instant.

Here’s the payment proof:

roobet payment proof

Amount credited to my BTC Wallet:

roobet free bitcoins

Do I get to trade real money?

I’m afraid not. You can, however, always choose to purchase the crypto-currencies at standardized rates at the website itself. You’re free to then bet what you’ve bought, into the games.

How do I find my favourite casino?

Well, there are just too many casino games on the site and there are specific categories as to Card games, Dice games and others.

How do I check the popular games?

There’s a real time dashboard that shows what games are being gambled and by what numbers. The total money in the gambles is also displayed there.

Is the site legit?

It is totally safe and trusted by plenty of online gamblers everyday. It is a popular name and many users have made a bit of fortunes trying their luck on the site.

So guys, try it out and let me know how was your experience with Roobet in comments below.

Warp! Good when you want to go past the speed of light; bad when seen in plastic molded parts.

Why do parts warp?  Parts warp for 2 reasons: molded-in stress or shrinkage.   Most common is molded-in stress due to excessive plastic pressure or differential shrink (direction of flow:  shrinks differently than across the flow).

PROBLEM:  Product warping due to molded-in stress.

SOLUTION:  Corrective annealing of all parts.

RESULTS:  No lost product; on-time delivery.

Problem:  We recently experienced warping with a long thin-walled part made from glass- filled nylon. The parts didn’t  warp right out of the machine; they warped several hours later. We do our inspections in-process, which is generally the best way to catch any production/design challenges --before they have the opportunity to impact the yield of the entire run.   In this instance, “immediate inspection” didn’t catch the warp that developed over time and was discovered hours later.

Solution:  So what do you do with warped parts? Our first task was to determine if this was a molded-in stress problem or a shrink problem. Going over the history of the part and looking at the run data it became clear this was a molded-in stress problem, which was good.  That is to say it was correctable.  Molded-in stress can be relieved through annealing. Annealing involves placing the parts in an oven and heating the air to the point where the polymer chains begin to relax, and then leaving the parts at that temperature for a specific amount of time.  Optimal temperatures and times for annealing are polymer-specific.  Materials manufacturers are the best resource for obtaining these specifics.

Results:  All product was corrected, acceptable to client, and delivered on time

Once the house help has been hired, the woman of the house should procure some uniform for everyday use; the more shapeless and ill-fitting it is, the better.

A few weeks ago, the media reported about Ruth Khaecha, an ex-househelp accused of stealing Sh1.35 million from her employer. Ruth denied the allegations, claiming she earned the money with Sh800,000 being a reward for providing “good sex”.

Maybe when Ruth is done with her court issues, she can share with other women what “good sex” looks and feels like. The media images of Ruth portray the image of a girl-next-door and not of a sultry sexual provider. The Ruth drama points to the fact that house helps still remain a real and menacing threat for women who want to keep their men and families on the straight and narrow.

Since December is the house help transfer and changeover season, I would like to provide some tips for potential employers.

Before any woman embarks on any mission to hire, she needs to take a realistic check on the male/female ratio in her house and use that to determine whether she will hire a male or female house help.

If she has more than three boys in her house (hubby included), then she should consider hiring a male domestic worker or an elderly matronly lady who is way past her sexual prime.

Hiring any young woman under 30 years is tantamount to providing in-house sexual services to the menfolk in her house. Some women in a quest to save coins like to go young and hire very young house helps who sometimes fall in the teenage bracket.

Rights to feed

The illegality of this notwithstanding, these hires often end up creating very awkward family situations. It is only natural that one or more of the ‘boys’ in the house will venture to sample from the fruits of blossoming femininity. This is how many women become reluctant co-wives or mothers to step-children.

Of late, we also hear that male domestic house helps also come with other baggage and issues - but for now female house helps are the ones to watch for.

Once the house help has been hired, the woman of the house should procure some uniform for everyday use; the more shapeless and ill-fitting it is, the better. Uniforms are not about professionalism, they are garments to cover up any curves and protuberances that might lead to a Ruth-situation. We also know that even this approach has not been completely foolproof for there are men who find uniforms of all kinds super sexy.

Women today are super busy and so often opt to delegate some duties to the house help. For the sake of their families, women should ring fence some duties and create boundaries about what the house help must never do.

One of the “sacred” areas that needs serious boundaries is the one of provision of food and nourishment for the husband. Most African men have an irrational emotional attachment to what they eat, how it is cooked and who serves their food - must be something they learnt from our animal ancestors.

We know of men who have made major love and life decisions based on the texture of chapos or the consistency of the ugali. It therefore follows that if the man of the house gets accustomed to good meals and five-star service from the house help, he will explore avenues to turn her from a culinary expert to a twa twa expert.

The move from kitchen to bedroom is often expedited in situations when the said house help provides additional services like waking up super early to cook and serve him breakfast or staying up late to serve him dinner.

Giving the house help rights to feed your man at whatever time is just as good as giving her permission to take your man, especially if she falls under the 30 age bracket. Once the feeding programme begins, even the uniform cannot prevent the inevitable from happening.

There is also that contentious issue of car washing, where women of the house include car washing in the to-do list.

Once again, many men have emotional attachments to their cars and to those who keep them functioning – be it the mechanic or the car wash guys.

The more the house help washes the master’s car, the more she worms her way into his heart and into the inner workings of his life.

It is amazing how many secrets one can pick from washing a man’s car - be it the lingering scent of another woman, receipts of secret rendezvous and in some cases misplaced condoms.

This motor familiarity can lead to interesting conversations that can lead to interesting intimate destinations.

There are also men who find the sight of women cleaning cars and getting all-soaped-up very tantalising.

Car duties must never be left to house helps especially when we have an abundance of overeager watchmen always quick to make a quick buck. When all is said and done, house helps are necessary for the survival of modern-day career women, but they too come with some serious potential hazards that must be managed.

It may seem similar to Yik Yak, but Ripple has key points of differentiation that will help open up big monetisation opportunities

- March 3, 2015 4 MIN READ

Before social media came into prominence, messages would travel one way – from A to B, or sender to recipient. As such, achieving cut-through was a challenge. But social media has made ‘the ripple effect’ possible in a digital environment. When businesses or individuals broadcast their messages to their immediate networks on social media, those messages can then snowball across second, third, fourth, fifth networks and beyond, achieving virality. Unfortunately, the mechanics of virality isn’t entirely understood because a message could easily be either a hit or miss. But when messages do go viral, it can be a force for good.

The ALS ice bucket challenge is a prime example of how far and wide a message can travel. An incurable and debilitating disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis was very much unknown to the masses until the ice bucket challenge became a social media phenomenon. Seattle-based entrepreneur Paul Stavropoulos decided to make this ripple effect the sole focus of his latest tech venture, appropriately named Ripple.

As a social technology, Ripple facilitates activities where information can be passed from community to community to broad its impact. You start ‘ripples’ (equivalent to ‘tweets’ or ‘posts’) which appear in the feeds of people who are geographically close to you. If they like any of the ripples in their feed, they can then re-share to people who are geographically close to them.

Start a Ripple

Spread a Ripple

Ripple Feed Page

Dismiss A Ripple

The overarching idea is ‘how far will your ripples go?’ And users can actually track where and how far their ripples have travelled, in which locations those ripples were popular or unpopular, and what commentary people added along the way.

“Being able to visualise the impact of one’s message is something that ripplers find unique and captivating,” says Stavropoulos.

Ripple – Global Map

Ripple – Local Map

On Ripple, you can’t friend or follow anyone. Stavropoulos explains the beauty of this approach is that a message’s reach and exposure isn’t dependent on the popularity of the sender; it’s based on how engaging or important the message is to nearby recipients.

“Ripples that are relevant to a location generally stay within that location; they are dismissed by people once they reach users who don’t find them relevant. These include ripples sharing local music events and new nearby bars,” says Stavropoulos.

“Ripples that are globally engaging, like a funny observation or a beautiful image, can spread beyond any community and to the entire world. Social media has not found a good way to spread information with any location-based relevance. Ripple makes that the heart of its experience.”

Although Ripple can be used to spread positive messages or even warn people of traffic accidents on certain streets, Stavropoulos envisions the app to be a platform for locals to find out what’s happening in the community, as well as a space for locals to share thoughts, ideas and jokes.

If the source of information or ‘ripples’ being propagated is people, then this could extend to businesses. Although Ripple is yet to be monetised, Stavropoulos and his team are eyeing opportunities. For instance, local restaurants, cafes, and other retailers can post deals and promotions to people nearby. This would work in similar fashion to other hyper-local apps in market that allow SMBs to boost traffic, sales, turnover and profit by targeting customers through GPS-linked app alerts that direct them to special deals and discounts the minute they are within close proximity to a particular store.

Stavropoulos says Ripple also serves as a geo-based sentiment tracker for brands: “clients can gauge where in a community, nation, or in the world a brand is engaging. We want to make it easy for those interested to plug into the Ripple community and get this information.”

If Ripple becomes ‘sticky’, the same way Facebook, Twitter and Instagram is, then more monetisation opportunities will open up. The key to unlocking opportunities, however, may lie in the metrics that the app measures and displays. Businesses can apply those metrics in key decision-making processes or pursue opportunities that would have otherwise gone unrecognised.

At the moment, though, growing its user base needs to be the Ripple’s top priority, as Stavropoulos acknowledges.

By posting on forums like Reddit and HackerNews and showcasing their work at conferences, Ripple has been able to gain 1,000 users in two months. Stavropoulos says the startup will be using other social media platforms to increase brand awareness, but is satisfied with the response they’ve received to date.

“We have delighted ripplers letting them connect with people near and far, and showing them how their ripples spread. It brings us joy building and molding an ecosystem that allows people to share in this manner. More than a third of our users visit the app every day, and over half of them visit it every week,” says Stavropoulos.

Stavropoulos is fully cognisant of the fact that Ripple isn’t an entirely new concept. He acknowledges Plague as a competitor, another app which also allows information to be passed on from one place to another or ‘to spread like the plague’. One of the biggest differences between Ripple and Plague, according to Stavropoulos, is the former’s focus.  He says they want Ripple to be used for local community updates – like bands coming to perform in venues nearby, new bars opening up in town, cafes that makes the best coffees, and so on.

“This idea of spreading local information for a community doesn’t exist in Plague,” says Stavropoulos.

“We have also taken a different approach in implementing our user experience. For example, while plague shows you one piece of content at a time and forces users to take action to see more content, we present your ripples as a list so you spread or dismiss only the ripples you want to.”

Stavropoulos also identifies Yik Yak as a big competitor. Founded by Stephen Brooks Buffington and Tyler Steven Droll, Yik Yak is an ‘anonymous’ messaging app (users can choose a username and identify themselves if they want to) that marries the concept of Twitter (sending out short form messages) with the mechanics of Reddit or Hacker News (where users upvote content they like). Yik Yak also focuses on geography in that it only shows users updates that have been made within a 1.5 to 10 mile radius. Like Yik Yak, Ripple also wants to target college campuses in the US as a growth strategy. Doing this will creates silos of communities on the platform, making the content more applicable to users.

The biggest differences between Ripple and Yik Yak, according to Stavropoulos, is that the former allows users to share images and links along with text posts, imposes no limits as to how far content can travel, and it is not an anonymous app which means people are accountable for what they share. Stavropoulos believes accountability has contributed to the overall positivity of the content being shared on the app.

Ripple will be available on Android phones in the upcoming months. The startup will be focusing on growing its user base, listening to and implementing user feedback, and most interestingly, the team wants the next big comedian to be discovered on Ripple.

Top 5 Scary Scaffolds from around the globe

When you work with scaffolding every day, it’s always
interesting to see how others work with it. Especially when it’s
used in a very scary way! Here are 5 of our favourite death-defying
uses of scaffolding from around the globe.

1. Phrathat, Hariphunchai Wat Temple – Lamphun,
This scary looking scaffolding (Image Source: garycycles, Flickr) was used to repair the
Hariphunchai Wat Buddhist temple
. The temple dates back to the
Mon Hariphunchai kingdom and was restored during 1915 after being
damaged by fire. The temple is on a convenient bus route from
Chiang Mai and can be entered for free.

2. The Hong Kong Space Museum,
This scaffolding is made from bamboo. Bamboo scaffolding is actually used commonly
around the world, nowhere more so than in Hong Kong.  It may
seem surprising, but bamboo is very strong, cheap, lightweight and
renewable. However, you won’t find bamboo scaffolding available at Sterk Systems, despite
its plus points. Although maybe one day, you never know.

3. Mountain in
Another example of bamboo scaffolding was used on this mountain
side in Cambodia. In the photogragh it is being used to carve out a
Buddha image into the mountain. Battambang is a popular tourist
destination due to having a nice blend of modern facilities,
combined with ancient temples and popular history.

4. Centre of LAX – Los Angeles Airport
This example looks neater and more organised than
previous ones, but is still death-defying in our book! It was part
of a renovation to one of the buildings at the airport to make sure
it can withstand strong winds and earthquakes.

This airport is the sixth busiest in the world and third busiest
in the United States. With America having such extreme weather
conditions, it’s good forward thinking to keep their buildings safe
and secure.

5. Hotel Les Orchidees – Ranohira,
There’s some nice renovation work being carried out to the back of
this hotel.  This construction seems to be made from very
flimsy wooden scaffolding and looks like an accident waiting to

(Image Source: Leonora Enking, Flickr)

Would you work on any of these buildings given the chance? In the
west, we are very keen on our hard hats and safety procedures.
Thankfully, there are much safer scaffolding options available. You
may not have realised just how lucky you are when working on some
of our safe scaffold tower systems!
