Sector Guide: Workshop, Tools and Cleaners

Muc Off, Pedros, KMC, Park Tools, Lezyne and more featured
Publish date:

CSG UK / Muc Off
Having recently linked with neighbouring Muc-Off, Cycling Sports Group UK can now offer retail what is often hailed as the market leader in bike cleaning.

With a comprehensive catalogue spanning cleaning and lubrication fluids, greases and a number of cleaning tools and brushes, it’s no surprise that the firm has several bundled packages perfect for retail.

One such item is the £24.99 Bike Care Essentials box, containing a litre of biodegradable cleaner, 500ml bike spray, large microcell sponge and a set of brushes for cleaning wheels and fiddly components.

For a spotless chain prior to lubrication, the £21.99 Chain Doc works by clipping over the chain and combining heavy-duty rotating brushes with the power of the brand’s Chain Cleaner. It makes short work of grime, claiming to deliver a good as new finish in under 20 seconds. The kit comes with a can of Muc-Off Chain Cleaner to use with the Chain Doc device, making it ready for polishing chains straight out of the box.

The firm’s 400ml Chain Lube can also be attached to the Chain Doc for mess-free lubrication.

Muc Off’s Workshop 5x brush set (£23.99) features all five Muc Off brushes, including the Soft Washing Brush for bike frame and components, with care for delicate finishes. The Detailing Brush is ideal for hard-to-shift dirt on sprockets, hubs and other tight areas, while the Claw Brush for mud de-clogs the chain and cassette. The Wheel and component brush is shaped and contorted to clean rims and spokes, while the Two Prong Bush cleans shocks, cranks and more.

Suppliers of widely used tool brand Pedros and Feedback Sports products, 2pure has plenty to offer the retailer in need of both professional standard product and product for resale.

Pedros are not just limited to tooling, however, and can also offer products such as the Green Fizz. This solution is an environmentally friendly bike wash to work on the entire bike. The surfactants of Green Fizz coat the bike and help wash away grime from the toughest of rides and it can be used with or without water. A one-litre bottle costs £7.99 at retail.

A highlight of this year’s tool catalogue and perhaps an industry first – Pedros have introduced the Tulio multi tool qucik release skewer. With the QR lever hosting two spoke wrenches, a chain tool a 4, 5 and 6mm allen key, flathead screwdriver and an emergency 8mm allen key, this is ideal for the gadget freaks among us.

2pure also supplies Feedback Sports product. The firm is a repair stand specialist and can offer what it calls the 'Recreational Repair Stand for just £99.99 at retail, making it ideal for home mechanics seeking a more maintenance friendly garage or shed.

Chicken Cyclekit
Following strong demand from the market, KMC has now introduced Chain Lube Pro. This solution is the original grease used by KMC for the lubrication of the X-Series Chains. The lube is available in two sizes; 120ml, which includes a Dual head application/cleaning brush for £9.99, or 3ml (enough for one chain), which is perfect to take with you on muddy winter rides for just 99p.

Meanwhile, Chicken Cyclekit also handles the Sapim tool range, from which the new Nipple Grip is a must for all wheel builders. The grip speeds up wheel building and prevents the spoke nipple dropping inside the wheel rim. The wire loop grips the nipple so you can thread it onto the spoke easily, which is vital if you’re building wheels with deep section rims.

As the main UK supplier for perhaps the most famous workshop brand in the cycling business, Madison carries an extensive catalogue of Park Tool bits for the professional mechanic and home mechanic alike.

The professional tool range has developed significantly over the past few years and dealers are invited to talk to the experts behind the brand at February’s iceBike*. Until then, Madison has flagged up the firm’s crown race cutter and adaptor for 1.5-inch tapered steerers as a hot product for the workshop. Designed for perfect facing every time, the tool is designed for use with tapered steerer forks and tiny grub screws lock the adaptor in place while in use for a precision finish. The package also includes a precision ground crown race cutter.

Finish Line cleaners, lubricants and much more are also available from Madison, including the £11.99 One-Step aerosol that is both a cleaner and lubricant in one 360ml can.

One stop shop for cycling bits and bobs BBB has a range of goods for the workshop mechanic, a highlight from which is the Profimount work stand.

Highly adjustable to a height of your choice and preferred clamp set up, the Profimount has a rotating head clamp that allows for the top tube or seatpost to be securely fastened.

Mounted to the stem of the highly supported stand is a detachable tool tray. Once a job’s finished the workstand packs down in a few folds and can be stored in a supplied carry bag.

The big news from Upgrade’s stable this year has to be Lezyne’s expanding line of workshop tools for the professional. In typical Lezyne fashion, each is aesthetically pleasing, with polished finishes and wooden handles featuring on many tools.

New for 2012 are the home ‘shop tools’ – a concise range of professional quality tools for use at home that includes CNC alloy or Classic (wood handle) pedal and chain whip tools and the innovative Two-Way Tech tools for BB and cassette lock ring removal.

There’s also a new three-Way Wrench tool that offers durable Steel bodies and replaceable bits, a new CNC three-way spoke wrench and for the ‘must have it all’ customers out there, a reassuringly large Shock Pump that retails for £69.99, but is built for life.

Green Oil has been part of the stable for some time too and offers the Cycling Plus ‘Best Buy’ rated bike cleaner. The use of concentrates with the re-useable bottle system typifies Green Oil’s commitment to less waste, reduced landfill and minimised carbon footprint.

Meanwhile, Effetto has a fancy torque wrench that may end up top of your shop’s wish list in the near future. The Calibrated torque wrench is designed with a range of torque 2-16NM and has a loud ‘click’ to three-degree movement when torque is achieved with a ratchet head and magnetic head that takes the 16 tool bits. A complete boxed set retails for £189.99 with a more affordable tool, without bits, starting at £114.99.

Super environmentally friendly brand Orantas is now under the Hotlines distribution umbrella with stock of waterproof greases, lubricants and cleaning goods all available.

For tougher jobs involving bearings, the grease is again a synthetic biodegradable solution with extreme pressure additives made from plant-based material.

Hotlines is also the exclusive distributor for X-tools, another brand with both professional workshop tools and amateur mechanic friendly tools. For just £59.99 at retail, X-Tools offers an 18-piece tool kit containing everything the mechanic on the mood will typically need – from chain whips, through allen keys, cassette tools, crank extractors and much more.

For 2012, Fenwick’s steps forwards with a major facelift and several new products.

Some lines have received name changes to improve clarity and understanding in the eyes of the consumer – for example, the £8.99 Frame and Shock Finishing Spray becomes Showroom Finish Spray, FS Foaming Degreaser becomes Foaming Chain Cleaner and all new labels include QR codes, which directs to video, showing the product being used.

New products include lower-priced sizes of aerosols, the simple Chain Cleaning Sponge (£1.99), the non-latex Airtight Tubeless Tyre Sealant (£19.99) and the Stealth Road and Stealth Mountain Bike lubes (£9.99). These new performance-oriented lubes are created by a combination of specialist synthetic components; handpicked by a master lubricant formulator, a surfactant specialist and a material scientist.

Minoura has some workshop standard workstands and truing jigs available through Zyro, including the £109.99 True Pro wheel jig, which is now compatible with 29er and carbon rims. A spoke key is included in the package.

Finally, Zefal (aside from producing a new series of pumps) also offers brush kits for the customer with a taste for keeping their bike looking fresh. These start at just £5.99 and various brushes are available for different tasks. A brush set retails for £15.99.

Weldtite has plenty going on at present, as demonstrated recently on their stand at Eurobike. Log onto and search Weldtite for more on the brand’s latest highly adaptable workshop stand head, which is capable of latching onto car tow balls, among other things.

A highlight from the latest additions to the tool line is the 07701 universal bottom bracket removal tool set. Bottom brackets come under more pressure during the winter because of the bad weather, and it is the time when many fail, so having the tool for a workshop service is essential. Weldtite also offers a DVD free-of-charge showing demonstrations of how all its workshop tools are used – just call the firm for a copy.

For cleaners, Weldtite has an offer launching before Christmas. During 2012, a one-litre Dirtwash bike cleaner will be on ‘three for two promotion’.

The 2012 trade price for a 12 pack of Dirtwash one litre cleaner is £47.00 per pack making the cost of an individual bottle £3.92. By taking advantage of the three- for-two promotion retailers will pay £94.00 for three packs of Dirtwash making the cost of an individual bottle £2.61 trade which is a discount of 59 per cent and gives your store an opportunity to offer the product to your customers at a substantially better price than any other bike cleaner currently in the market, says Weldtite.

Former Vivendi Chairman Vincent Bollore Detained in Africa Corruption Probe

Zakaria Abdelkafi/AFP/Getty Images
French businesman Vincent Bollore, chairman and CEO of the investment group Bollore and president of the supervisory board of French multinational mass media conglomerate Vivendi, attends the presentation of the Bretagne Prize literary award on June 26, 2017.

One of France's most powerful businessmen, Vincent Bollore, was detained for questioning Tuesday in an investigation into alleged corruption during lucrative port deals in Africa.

Bollore's company denied wrongdoing, but its shares plunged about 8 percent on the unexpected detention. The Bollore Group has vast holdings from transport to media and the oil business, and 80,000 employees worldwide.

Bollore was taken into custody in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, along with other executives of his Bollore Group, according to a judicial official. The official spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

In a statement, Bollore Group said its executives "welcome this opportunity to fully cooperate with the judicial authorities to restore the truth." It argued that the case is based on "a great misunderstanding of this economic sector and economic activity in general."

The investigation, which comes a week after Bollore stepped down as chairman of Vivendi, the parent company of Universal Music Group, focuses on suspicions around port deals in 2009 and 2010 in Lome, the capital of the West African nation of Togo, and Conakry in Guinea.

Bollore Group is suspected of using its communications arm, Havas, to provide cut-rate services to African leaders, who then ensured that another subsidiary would win shipping terminal contracts.

Bollore Group said the logistics subsidiary, SVC Africa, "did not engage in any illegal actions" and that Havas provided its services "in full transparency." Bollore Group said it won the port contracts because of its long experience in Africa and 2 billion euros in investment on the continent in recent years.

Bollore-related companies have faced other legal cases in the past.

The tycoon is involved in many high-profile projects in France, such as the shared electric Autolib cars on the streets of Paris.

He is notably known for hosting friend Nicolas Sarkozy on his yacht days after Sarkozy was elected French president in 2007, raising concerns that Bollore would gain political favors in return.

In Guinea, the government did not immediately comment on the case.

Bollore has dominated operations at the container terminal in Guinea's capital since Conde became president in 2010, and the company has invested heavily in expanding the terminal. President Conde presided over the official launch of the extension work.

Havas worked on Conde's 2010 and 2015 campaigns, notably spearheading an operation to call voters with a recorded voice message from Conde that impressed many Guineans.

Le Monde quoted Guinean President Alpha Conde as saying in 2016: "Bollore fulfilled all the conditions of the bids. He's a friend, I favor friends. So what?"

Travis Scott Announces Capsule Collection With Helmut Lang

Amy Harris/Invision/AP
Travis Scott performs at the Festival d'ete de Quebec on July 9, 2016, in Quebec City, Canada.

Travis Scott recently took to Instagram to tease an upcoming collaboration with Austrian minimalist brand Helmut Lang. The Houston-born rapper posted a photo of black and white images detailing bull heads, roses, and indechipherable quotes.

According to WWD, Scott designed a 19-piece menswear capsule for the brand consisting of a leather jacket ($1,715), jackets and bombers ($695), jeans (~$310) and T-shirts ($175-$185). The collaboration showcases the rapper’s Texas roots with earth-toned color schemes and appliquéd patches. The collection will be available online and in select retailers worldwide Jan. 30.

Much like his mentor Kanye West, the GOOD Music signee is no stranger to fashion. Scott has previously worked with streetwear brand Diamond Supply Co. and has endorsed campaigns for Alexander Wang’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection, Yves Saint Laurent, and Fenty x Puma.

Helmut Lang, whose designs are worn by Paul McCartney and Rihanna, also teased photos of the Travis Scott capsule collection on Instagram.

Internet search engine Yahoo! yesterday rebuffed a $44.6 billion (£22.9 billion) takeover approach from software giant Microsoft.

The online group said the offer - made in a surprise move less than two weeks ago - "substantially undervalues" the business.

The rejection comes after mounting speculation at the weekend that Yahoo! was set to snub Microsoft's bid.

It is believed Yahoo! is holding out for at least $56 billion (£28.8 billion).

A merger between the two would create one of the world's biggest technology firms and a rival to search engine Google.

But Yahoo! is understood to be planning a raft of defensive moves to fend off Microsoft's advances.

It is reportedly looking at rekindling merger talks with AOL and is also rumoured to be mooting the idea of an advertising partnership with Google.

Microsoft has already hinted that it is prepared to make the bid hostile, saying it reserved the right "to pursue all necessary steps" to win over the firm's shareholders if the deal is opposed.

The group could decide to take its offer straight to Yahoo! shareholders, although market experts suggested that it may yet seek to sweeten its bid.

It is thought to be prepared to up its offer to 35 US dollars (£18) a share.

Microsoft made its original 31 US dollars (£16) a share in a bid to challenge the dominance of internet search engine giant Google.

Its unexpected approach comes a year after Microsoft and Yahoo! held talks over a possible tie-up to challenge Google.

Microsoft had warned on unveiling its offer that the "competitive situation has not improved" and believes a merger is the "only alternative" to challenging Google's dominance.

The OSI model for Open Systems Interconnection

The OSI Model for Open Systems Interconnection.

In 1978, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) created a universal standard for exchanging information between and within networks and across geographical boundaries. This standard for network architecture is the seven-layer model for Open Systems Interconnection (OSI), which has encouraged conformity in designing communications networks and controlling distributed processing.

OSI Model for Open Systems Interconnection

Communication among these distributed systems and networks requires a standard approach to network design, one that defines the relationships and intersections between network services and functions via common interfaces and protocols.

In the OSI model the network architecture specifies a hierarchy of independent layers that contain modules for performing defined functions. This translates into a set of rules that defines the way participating network nodes must interact to communicate and exchange information. The OSI Model defines standard relationships between the hardware and software in today’s complex computer systems.

Services per layer

Each layer of the OSI Model provides specific services that contribute to overall network functioning.

Application Layer The Application Layer supports user and application tasks and overall system management, including resource sharing, file transfers, remote file servers and database and network management.
Presentation Layer The Presentation Layer translates and converts transmitted encoded data into formats that can be understood and manipulated by users.
Session Layer The Session Layer establishes and controls system-dependent aspects of communication sessions provided by the Transport Layer and the logical functions running under the operating system in a participating node.
Transport Layer The Transport Layer provides end-to-end control of a communication session once the path has been established, which enables the reliable and sequential exchange of data independent of both the systems that are communicating and their locations in the network.
Network-Control Layer The Network-Control Layer addresses messages, sets up the path between communicating nodes, routes messages across intervening nodes to their destinations and controls the flow of messages between nodes.
Data-Link Layer The Data-Link Layer establishes an error-free communication path between network nodes over the physical channel, frames messages for transmission, checks the integrity of received messages, manages access to and use of the channel and ensures the sequence of transmitted data.
Physical Layer The Physical Layer defines the electrical and mechanical aspects of interfacing to a physical medium for transmitting data, as well as setup, maintenance and disconnection of physical links. This layer includes the software driver for each communications device, plus the hardware itself—interface devices, modems and communications lines.

What layer does it operate on?

Sometimes network devices are described as being, for instance, Layer 2 devices or Layer 3 devices. This describes which OSI layer the device operates on. Ethernet switches are usually Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) devices and sort traffic using physical (MAC) addresses. Routers are Layer 3 (Network Control Layer) devices and manage network traffic using network addresses. Media converters, which provide only simple interface and electrical conversion, are usually Layer 1 (Physical Layer) devices.

Generally, the higher the network layer a device operates on, the more sophisticated (and expensive!) it is. For instance, if an Ethernet switch is described as a “Layer 3” switch, that means it has some routing functions and more functionality than an ordinary Layer 2 Ethernet switch. A Layer 2 media converter provides more than a simple Layer 1 physical conversion and has some of the functionality of a Layer 2 switch.

Rockingham Test

Thursday night saw us working away in the garage again and by 9pm the car was running and back on its wheels, ready to load up.

Driving it on to the trailer i noticed the brake servo wasnt working. We realised we hadnt connected the vaccum hose. With the bonnet off it soon be came apparent why. There was no fitting for it!! There is normally a sandwich plate between the carb and the manifold with a take off plate. mmm deciding that was a problem for the morning we loaded up and put every thing back in the garage ready for a 6am start.

With Pops being closer to the unit he drags the car over with the transit and I go directly from home in the discovery, and we both arrived at Rockingham for 8am.

The testing was split into 3 groups with each group getting 2 sessions in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. We were in group 3 not going out untill 10:40 for our first session. THis gave us plenty of time to take the carb back off and drill and tap the manifold for a vaccum take off, reassemble everything and then do the wheel alignment check we didnt have time for during the week.

Session 1 : The track was cold but dry as we headed out. the car didnt feel quite right and iI had a big sideways moment on the 2nd corner. The car was also venting oil smoke from the bonnet and vibrating under braking, so after 1 lap i was back in the pit lane. A quick inspection under the bonnet showed a leaking valley gasket so it was straight back to the paddock. Oil on the rear wheels had prompted the interesting handling.

So carb off manifold off new valley gasket all back on an a dash of oil, together with a check of the brakes and a spot of weld on a chassis braket and we were ready to go.

Session 2: W ith the time taken for the repairs we only managed 6 laps, learning the circuit really, but the car didnt seem very powerfull andthe logger was showing very low readings.

Lunch time was spent checking jet s and re-timing the car. Richard Moore from Moore racing also thought we had a tight tappet that needed looking at.

Session 3: At last a full session, with everything working. the car felt nice and stable , hitting the apexes and drifting nicely to the exits. The times were only a few seconds off the turbo cars which was a good result. I still felt that the car was down on power and loosing a lot of time on the run around the banking. Power is very important at Rockingham, and our main class competitor is right on the class limit.

Session 4: After only two laps the car started to feel slower. it felt like a miss-fire but didnt sound like one, just a little flat. The same as the car felt when it snapped the rocker shaft and became a five cylinder engine the year before. Worried about the engine I pulled off.

Pops and Richard Moore had a look at the car and agreed somthing was sick. I had to leave so left them to it. Pops also left soon after leaving the diagnosis to Moore Racing. At about 9pm i got a phone call telling me that the valve collet on one of the valves was pushing past the retainer and about to drop the valve into the engine. Yikes good job i came in.

As we were not racing until Sunday we had saturday and saturday night to sort the engine. Unfortunetly Moore Racing were at Snetterton running their BMW M5 in the Wilhire on saturday so they wouldnt be there, but the fully equiped truck and awning would be. All we had to do was source all possible bits and repair the engine on saturday.

Scholarship Solutions Is the Answer to Your Prayers
Black Enterprise Magazine September/October 2018 Issue

You can use scholarships to have a debt-free college experience. Your kids can pursue the dream of a college education without your having to forgo your own dreams.

No, it isn’t free, but it’s a fraction of the cost weighing down black families in student loan debt and ruinous credit-shattering defaults and late payments.

I’m talking about Scholarship Solutions—an inventive approach to finding the scholarships you need, and assisting you in qualifying for them.

The brainchild of Rhea M. Watson, who also goes by the moniker Scholarship Doctor, Scholarship Solutions is a full-service organization that works with clients from age “zero to 80,” as Watson told me.

That’s right. Watson’s youngest client is 6 months old. She says it’s never too early to start this process.

“If you can start securing scholarship dollars at birth, why wait until senior year? If we get a student in senior year we are ordinarily playing catch-up,” she laments. “The younger the student, the more scholarship dollars we can help them to secure.”

Although Scholarship Solutions works with babies, Watson says fifth grade is probably the best time to start working with a service like hers.

“Going into junior high we can plan those classes that will help students to be successful, and also make sure they’re on the right college prep track once they’re in high school.”

Debt-free College

Watson secured a lot of scholarships to put herself through undergrad at Morris Brown College, an HBCU. Not unlike Christopher Grey of Scholly and Gabrielle McCormick of Scholarship Informer, both of whom garnered a ton of scholarships, she has parlayed her experience into a money-making enterprise.

Scholarship Solutions goes further, however, by expanding its services beyond just finding scholarships. The Scholarship Solutions team functions more like a coach, shepherding students through the entire educational experience to maximize their chances of winning scholarships. The team assists with essay writing, major exploration, internships, and more.

For this level of service, the fees aren’t cheap, but they’re a lot less than student loan debt would be:

  • $500 for students in grades K-5
  • $1,250 for grades 6-8
  • $1,500 for ninth graders
  • $2,000 for 10th graders
  • $2,500 for 11th graders
  • $3,000 for 12th graders
  • And $2,500 for undergraduate and graduate students

Start Early, Hire a Tutor

Scholarship Solutions is based in Las Vegas and has a diverse clientele. Watson notes that there’s a huge difference in the approaches of the different demographic groups she serves.

“Unfortunately, second semester of senior year is when I get most of my African American students,” she told me. “My Caucasian clients typically start in fifth grade, and they always complain that they’re too late.

“My Asian families start in second grade, and they complain that they’re starting too late. My Latino families usually begin in the junior year, and Native American families are typically undergraduates, unfortunately.”

Watson wants black families to think about this process much earlier. “The earlier, the better,” she says.

Watson also advocates tutoring. “Tutoring is for smart people, not dumb people.” There’s a stigma to tutoring in certain communities, but others know that tutors can be used not only to remediate but to help accelerate learning.

“My international clients have a different mindset about tutoring,” Watson says. “They see tutors as part of a team of educators who ensure that students are being prepared to the maximum, not the minimum.”

Scholarship Solutions has also helped students burdened with student loan debt to have their debt canceled—though Watson is quick to say that not all students are eligible, but it’s worth it to try.

Away Days: Bournemouth

12 March 2015

Plan Saturday's Trip

Blackpool face one of the longest trips of the season on Saturday, and the league leaders will be waiting for them upon arrival.

Bournemouth are gearing up for one final push towards the Premier League, but on Saturday Lee Clark's men stand in their way.

For the supporters making the long trip south, here is a guide on getting to the Goldsands Stadium.

By Car
Using toll roads the trip takes around four and a half hours to make, with approximately 290 miles separating the two stadiums.

King's Park Drive,
BH7 7AF

By Train
Supporters are advised to go via London Euston if travelling by train. The journey from Blackpool North involves changes at Preston and London Euston, with Pokesdown the nearest stop to the stadium.

Dean Court, known as the Goldsands Stadium for sponsorship reasons, houses 12,000 supporters. The stadium was renovated in 2001, and an additional South Stand was built following the club's promotion to The Championship in 2013.

The ground's record attendance came in an FA Cup clash with Manchester United in 1957, with 28,799 supporters piling in. Blackpool's last visit in September 2013 resulted in a 2-1 victory for The Seasiders.

Supporters can pay on the gate at the Goldsands Stadium, with no price increase being put in place.

-£26 for Adults
-£14 for Over 65,
-£14 Full time Students
-£14 Under 16s

Animal File

Common Name:
Scientific Name:
Suricata suricatta
Size: 30 cm (sitting up)
Weight: 750 - 820 grams
Native to Africa

Conservation Status

Near threatened

Meerkats are great favourites with our visitors of all ages. In the wild, they can live for 12 - 15 years in gangs of up to 40 individuals and establish up to 15 dens on their territory. Each den has an elaborate system of tunnels and sleeping chambers in order to confuse predators which may try to attack them underground. Birds of prey, jackals and wild dogs are their main predators.

Meerkats have dark markings in the fur on their backs which, like humans’ fingerprints, are unique to each particular animal. They also have a dark tip on their tail which can be identified by other members of the troop when they’re out hunting. Dark bands of fur around their eyes help to reduce the glare of the strong sunlight.

Meerkats breed successfully both in the wild and in captivity with litters between 1 and 5 pups, although most commonly, 3. In the wild they enjoy a varied diet of mainly insects, but also reptiles, scorpions, small mammals, eggs and plants. In the Zoo, they are fed pellets, eggs, chicks, mice, fruit, vegetables and live insects.

AFCON 2017; Ghana can hire Ugandan coach after the indication of resignation

AFCON 2017; Ghana can hire Ugandan coach after the indication of resignation

AFCON 2017; Uganda coach

AFCON 2017; Ghana have been put on RED ALERT to pounce after Uganda coach Mulitin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic gave the clearest indication he could leave the job after his team exited the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

The 47-year-old appears frustrated after seeing his promising side bundled out from the group stage after defeats to Ghana and Egypt in Port-Gentil.

The Serbian is among two candidates tipped to take over Avram Grant as Ghana coach.

He appears to have enhanced his CV tremendously after guiding the Cranes to their first Nations Cup berth in 39-years.

He has build a formidable squad which is in serious contention of qualifying to the 2018 Wold Cup in Russia.

And he has hinted he could leave the job after building a strong foundation.

“I have reached a point where I have taken on a project and I’ve reached the Cup of Nations. Now I need a bit of breathing space,” Sredojevic said.

“We have a last match against Mali and we want to keep our level. After that I shall see whether I will keep the project going or whether I – like in a relay – give it to someone else who can continue.

“The important thing is that we have laid a very strong foundation and in years to come people will benefit.”

He says his inability to lead the team to success will serve as a learning curve for him.

“For me it was an honour, a privilege and a pleasure to compete against head coaches such as Hector Cuper and Avram Grant,” added Sredojevic. “It was not easy to compete with them. It was like playing chess – answering one tactic with another.

“For me it has been a learning curve and I am looking forward to being much better. This is an injection of motivation that if I have one team without so-called big players and I‘ve managed to bring them to the same level and sometimes above players under Cuper and Grant, you can imagine what I’m capable of doing one day when big things come.”

Micho a cult hero in Uganda, took charge of the East Africans in May 2013 shortly after 17 months as coach of Rwanda.

Marijuana ETF Appoints New Custodian After Tumultuous 12 Months

(Bloomberg) -- After a year of controversy, an exchange-traded fund that invests in marijuana companies is shaking up its back-office team.

The $560 million ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF, which trades under the ticker MJ, is getting a new custodian, administrator and transfer agent, according to a filing by its adviser, ETF Managers Group. U.S. Bancorp previously performed those roles, which included housing shares of cannabis producers.

It’s been a tumultuous few months for the fund, which last year surprised investors when it changed its strategy from buying Latin American real estate to pot growers. The ETF quickly gathered hundreds of millions in assets, but was plagued by questions about whether U.S. Bancorp would stick around as custodian, given the potential legal and reputational risks.

Marijuana ETF Appoints New Custodian After Tumultuous 12 Months

“It probably should be a big deal for investors,” said Eric Balchunas, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. But “I don’t think it will matter much or change MJ’s increasingly large role in the market.”

Representatives for ETFMG and U.S. Bancorp could not immediately be reached to comment.

Wedbush Securities Inc., a Los Angeles-based broker-dealer, will be the fund’s new custodian, the filing shows. ETF Managers Group will handle the administrative duties, including regulatory reporting, while Computershare Trust Co., a Canton, Massachusetts firm, is the new transfer agent. ETFMG will receive a fee for acting as administrator. As the fund’s adviser, it currently takes a management fee of $7.50 for every $1,000 invested.
MJ has absorbed almost $70 million in September, already its best month since January, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The fund has soared more than 10 percent since Aug. 31, as pot stocks rally in the run up to the full legalization of weed in Canada. Coca-Cola Co. this week said that it was considering creating cannabis-infused drinks.

Third Circuit Won’t Shunt ‘Pay-For-Delay’ Cases to Special Court

Stay current on the latest developments from agencies including the CFPB, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and OCC to advise clients on real-life regulatory situations.

By Eleanor Tyler

Drugmakers lost an attempt April 13 to move a battle with buyers of blockbuster drugs Effexor XR and Lipitor into what would likely be a friendlier court ( In re: Effexor XR Antitrust Litig. , 3d Cir., 15-01342, 4/13/17 ).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit rejected arguments from Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer Inc., Ranbaxy Inc., Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. and other drugmakers that claims they illegally delayed generic competition for Effexor and Lipitor belong in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has exclusive jurisdiction of cases based on patent law.

The court that hears the case will impact the developing law around “pay for delay” agreements between generic and brand drugmakers settling patent disputes. The exact legal details of a “pay for delay” settlement are still in flux after the Federal Trade Commission convinced the Supreme Court in FTC v. Actavis that such payments violate antitrust law.

Had the defendants been successful in moving the case to the specialty federal circuit, “the post-Actavis law could have developed in this patent-friendly court,” said Rutgers Law School Professor Michael Carrier.

Suit Didn’t Come Under Patent Law

The Third Circuit said the plaintiffs’ claims that the drugmakers engaged in illegal reverse payments and lied to the U.S. Patent Office didn’t arise under patent law, so they don’t belong before the Federal Circuit. The court said that, based on that decision, the same panel of Circuit Judges D. Michael Fisher, Thomas L. Ambro and D. Brooks Smith will hear the merits of the plaintiffs appeals.

For purposes of this opinion, the court combined two appeals: one in In re Lipitor Antitrust Litigation, Nos. 14-4202 through -4206 and 14-4602, and In re Effexor XR Antitrust Litigation, 14-01342. Each consists of several cases being litigated together.

Lower Court Dismissed

In both appeals, direct and indirect buyers of each drug alleged that the drug companies conspired to delay generic entry with a reverse-payment settlement agreement and also engaged in various unfair practices before the Patent Office and/or the Food and Drug Administration.

In both cases, the lower court dismissed the plaintiffs’ reverse payment claims. The Federal Trade Commission and a group of professors, including Carrier, have filed briefs in the Effexor case supporting some of the plaintiffs’ arguments on the merits. The same group of professors has also weighed in on the plaintiffs’ behalf in the Lipitor case.

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the Generic Pharmaceutical Association—now the Association for Accessible Medicines— filed briefs supporting the drugmakers in both cases.

The court remanded one of the individual Lipitor cases for clarification on whether the district court had jurisdiction of the case when it entered judgment. If the district court lacked jurisdiction, the appellate court likewise wouldn’t be able to review the case.

Litany for the City

By: Ryan Teitman

Availability: In Stock

Regular price $16.00

About This Title

Winner of the A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize

Selected by Jane Hirshfield from over 600 manuscripts, Litany for the City is the winner of the 10th annual A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize. Of Litany for the City, Hirshfield writes "I found in this manuscript a poet doing the work of real exploration, thinking and feeling his way through images of cities both real and metaphoric, inner and outer. This book carries both startling imaginative freedoms and the impulsion of a person navigating the terrain of his life by means of the star-chart and sextant of poems––a winning combination, for me."

We tent our fingers
to make a cathedral.
This is how it’s always been
done— how a whisper
between two palms
becomes an architecture
we can’t fit into
our mouths. We hear
words like nave
and remember shoveling
piles of tulips into
a burnt-out flatbed.
An old man says
cupola, and I think
of knotty loaves
of rye stacked
like cordwood
in the baker’s pantry.
I dream of a church’s
unfinished dome
squinting upward
like the battered eye-socket
of a bare-knuckle boxer.
Every dream is its own
kind of shaky cathedral—
joists and vaults bracing
it against the weight
of another morning
invoked against us.
There’s a cathedral
built from the leg bones
of draft horses and saints.
A cathedral of birds
scaffolding the sky.
A cathedral of bodies
opening to each other
on beds smooth as altars.
A cathedral of hands
unbuttoning the skin
of every prayer
within reach.

Praise for the collection

“Read this book to renew that faith in words and in the abiding truth that there is nothing under the sky unworthy of our whole attention and fervent praise.” —The Rumpus

“The cities in Teitman’s imagination are not of mortar and stone. They are holograms of places, colors, people and possibilities…the world is made better by his view.” —The Washington Independent Review of Books

I’ve often heard it said, “you cannot win wagering on sports.” The simple truth is sports wagering is one of the few kinds of gaming that one could win at. The problem is there are so many factors which have to be taken into consideration, it can be very overwhelming.

There are playing conditions, injuries, home or away games, players health, defense, offense, past performance, coaches, need for match, rivalries to mention a few simply to calculate an extremely precise outcome.

What’s The Chances?

Many people wagering sports activities aren’t conscious that you just need to win 52.5Per cent of your own wagers to get rid of even. 56% winners makes you successful. Whenever you can manage to typical over 56Percent, you will make a tremendous amount of cash.

Now 56% doesn’t seem like significantly, does it? just over fifty percent your wagers.

The others is discipline, money management with no question, an excellent selection approach. But let’s be crystal clear, there is not any miracle bullet, no simple and fast method… or perhaps is there?

Are You In It For Enjoyment Or Funds?

It may undoubtedly be fun and extremely thrilling to earn, specially when you’ve received Agen Judi Online. Or perhaps you just lost a game title and decided to dual up on the up coming one to attempt to “get even.”

If you’ve actually attempted this tactic, I’m sure you understand all too nicely that more often than not you lost the second video game as well. Now you’re shattered, starting up over, building up a whole new bankroll and hoping for an improved end result the very next time… But you may already know, expect is not a succeeding approach.

This kind of heart-preventing motion is not for me. For my money I favor a far more expected kind of wagering whether or not it’s gamb-ling on sporting activities or any other form of game playing. I like to have more control over the effect.

Simply to be very clear, there will be shedding games and maybe even losing days, but by controlling your money, with patience developing your bankroll, it is possible to easily manage to take a swing errqrj those parlays.. which is a successful strategy.

Wagering a small consistent sum per activity is not really thrilling… but it is exactly what clever, specialist sports activities bettors do. So the question is, “have you been carrying it out for the exhilaration, or for the investment?”

If you are a business owner who runs your business completely online, you know the struggles of engaging and retaining your prospects. For eCommerce or Direct Selling businesses, it can be even more complex to maintain an internet site that has all the special features you desire without the technical training of a programmer. It does not matter in case you are a blogger, consultant or service-based business. In case you have a problem with engagement and getting your prospects and customers to keep coming back to your site, I believe it is time for you to rethink how you will develop your website.

I may have the solution to your issue. You, my friend, have to begin to use a website landing page platform. But, it can’t simply be any old website landing page platform. It needs to do more without asking you to do more, you know?

They need to be in a position to create capture pages that will help you engage more along with your customers. In addition to that, these pages have to be sale-oriented and have a great deal of different sales “funnels” that will direct customers in which you need those to be. Using these platforms, you can do the subsequent however are not confined to.

Regardless of the kind of company you may have, there is definitely a landing page platform available for you personally. The key platforms out there are Leadpages and ClickFunnel. Between the two, I would highly recommend ClickFunnel because, hey I said so. Actually, it truly is the better of the two and let me tell you why.

This is actually the 411 about this. We have all been there where we’ve almost picked up our computers and threw them out the window as they are so frustrating to deal with sometimes, right? Technology is not always my friend, as you would expect. ClickFunnels was made with the newbie under consideration. Us entrepreneurs might not have the “proper” training to code, program or other fancy techy words so that we depend on engineers to perform this stuff for people. But, in case you are a growing small enterprise, you aren’t necessarily likely to operate a hiring campaign for the top programmer on the market.

ClickFunnels allows users to develop landing pages effortlessly. Leadpages can be a little cumbersome for an amateur who is learning the ropes from the course. The complexity is much more ideal for programmers and let’s tell the truth, not all the small enterprise provides the means to cover one. Yet another thing I should mention is that https://clickfunnelsaid.com has a lot more features than Leadpages, however it is still much easier to use.

To get a blogger who focuses on developing recipes, I doubt she provides the time to discover coding. Enable the woman cook and ClickFunnels will take care of the remainder!

We want to do several things as combinations. We bundle our internet and cable packages. We combine our car and property insurance. We possess smartphones. All these situations are a result of combined resources that we prefer to access in one central area. With ClickFunnels, you obtain all of the different funnels in a single: order forms, internet hosting, membership sites and shopping carts.

One specific feature that ClickFunnels has that Leadpages lacks is that of the automatic email responder. When a customer opts to receive emails out of your site, they will immediately obtain a “Thank You” pop-up in addition to a confirmation email in his/her inbox. What else is amazing about this all-in-one concept could it be eliminates the guessing bet on how you can integrate most of qtuxhb functions on a website. So, not only are definitely the features simplified, however are all connected without requiring you to learn how to get it done. Everything is automatic and included.

Say goodbye to pulling your own hair out and hello to efficiency! The name itself should offer you a clear sense of exactly what it does. A funnel is supposed to bring all elements of a liquid and combine it in one container, right? This is exactly what it could do for your website, easier and. Plus, I might want it more because it offers the phrase funnel in it and who doesn’t love an excellent funnel cake?

ClickFunnels is taking the online marketplace by storm. As other internet hosting and website landing page platforms have made great incremental improvements, ClickFunnels has brought all those improvements and surpassed its competitors. It has made great strides towards making the website landing page experience efficient and innovative for virtually any internet business. The end result is that as a an online success business, you are unable to sell from a flat website.

A Week of Chocolate Valentines From the Canal House

We love you, you know that? And to prove it, here's a week's worth of chocolate desserts on Instagram, courtesy of the Canal House chefs

(Credit: Jason Lowe)

Have we told you lately that we love you? We know: It's been a long time. But we thought you understood! We figured you knew all those recipes--the cookies, the slow braises, the no-boil mac-and-cheese--were expressions of how we felt. So, we're sorry. We should have been more direct. And because it's Valentine's Day (or nearly so), we'd like to make it up to you. The traditional way. With chocolates. In fact, we're enlisting our friends the Seasonal Chefs, Christopher Hirsheimer and Melissa Hamilton of the Canal House, to bring you chocolate desserts all this week. Plus recipes. All via Bon Appetit's own Instagram feed (@bonappetitmag), which they're taking over on a daily basis; already, you can see our love for you in their toast with chocolate-hazelnut spread. If that (and those little hearts next to the image) doesn't say "We love you," we don't know what does.

P.S. We love you.

Olympus Receives Prestigious Gold Award in 2018 Edison Awards for Digital Imaging

Thursday, April 12, 2018

Olympus Receives Prestigious Gold Award in the Digital Imaging category in the 2018 Edison Awards for its 4K-3D Video Microscope, ORBEYE

Source : Olympus

Facebook Share Twitter Tweet Google Plus Share

Olympus, a global technology leader in designing and delivering innovative solutions for medical and surgical procedures, among other core businesses, won Gold in the Digital Imaging category at the 2018 Edison Awards™ with its 4K-3D Video Microscope, ORBEYE. The distinguished awards, inspired by Thomas Edison's persistence and inventiveness, recognize innovation, creativity and ingenuity in the global economy.

"We are thrilled and honored to receive Gold in the digital imaging category of the Edison Awards," said Randy Clark, Group Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Olympus America Inc. "ORBEYE represents the next generation of operative imaging across a range of surgical specialties. Winning this award is an indicator of the change we are bringing to the optical and imaging market for surgeons. On behalf of Olympus, I would like to thank everyone globally at SOMED, Olympus and Sony who have contributed to ORBEYE in making this award possible."

The precise 4K-3D digital images from the ORBEYE video microscope can enable more accurate surgery by providing high-resolution 3D imaging of the structure of tissue, blood vessels and other features. By displaying the progress of surgical procedures on a large 55-inch monitor, the new model has the potential to both reduce surgeon fatigue by eliminating the need for extensive viewing via microscope eyepieces and to include the entire surgical team in the view of the procedure. Because the use of digital technology has made the microscope unit approximately 95 percent smaller in volume than the previous model, it additionally helps free up surgical space and shortens setup times. The microscope unit was also made 50 percent lighter than the previous model to facilitate its transportation between operating rooms.

The benefits of ergonomics, improved precision and ease of positioning in the OR are the result of the following features:

High-resolution 4K-3D digital images supporting precision surgery -- The two Sony 4K ExmorRTM CMOS image sensors deliver high-sensitivity, low-noise images. The system deploys an image processing circuit designed to work across a wide color range as well as with four times the pixel count of the Full High Definition standard to provide high-resolution digital images during surgery. Because it additionally minimizes the delay associated with the large amounts of data that need to be processed by 4K-3D systems, ORBEYE provides zero image latency for smoother viewing and manipulation of the target location.

Use of 55-inch 4K 3D monitor helps reduce surgeon fatigue and facilitates team surgery -- The new model displays via a monitor and has no eyepiece. This helps reduce surgeon fatigue by allowing a more comfortable working posture without requiring surgeons to spend long periods peering into a microscope lens. Moreover, because the large 55-inch monitor enables the entire surgical team to view the same image, it allows more than one surgeon to operate and improves efficiency by allowing information to be shared with other surgical staff.

Significant reduction in microscope size (95 percent smaller than previous model) helps free up surgical space and shortens setup times -- The use of digital technology has made the microscope unit much smaller and it therefore provides the surgeon with additional space to perform operations. The unit's reduced size also allows faster setup times by eliminating the need to make often awkward adjustments to the balance of the arm, and by allowing use of a smaller and easier-to-fit surgical drape to keep the microscope clean.

The name ORBEYE, a combination of "orb" and "eye", expresses the idea of being able to approach things from an angle or direction that was not possible using existing microscopes. It also references the product's potential for global reach. ORBEYE was developed by Sony Olympus Medical Solutions Inc., (SOMED) a joint venture between Olympus Corporation and Sony Imaging Products & Solutions Inc.

Edison Award nominees were judged by more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from across the nation whose votes acknowledged the Finalists' success in meeting the award's stringent criteria of quality. Winners were announced on April 11, 2018 at the Edison Awards Annual Gala in New York, NY.

With its historical importance and cultural heritage, Santo Domingo is one of the most beautiful cities you can spend your holiday. I talked with Ignacio Peñalver, General Manager at Casas del XVI, about Santo Domingo and Casas del XVI.

SalesData Redux

Change in all things is sweet. —Aristotle

The new SalesData system has been up and running for a while now and so far we have been very happy with how things are going/growing.

A little over 4 years ago BookNet Canada released the ‘original’ BNC SalesData. Over the last four years the Canadian Book Industry has used SalesData extensively as a data gathering and mining tool. However, during those 4 years our users started using SalesData in ways we couldn’t have foreseen when we designed and released the original service. And to keep up with them we needed to do some serious re-working of the system’s underlying architecture. At the same time (hey…why not?) we decided to add new functionality and streamline much of the application. During the last year+ we collected lot’s of user feedback, went through a humbling usability study of the old system and spent a great deal of time re-thinking how we do things. You can see the outcome of all this work on the site, or see some of the new features here. The new system should allow us to grow more steadily with the needs of our users.

That’s not it by any stretch. We are continuing to tweak and fix things, and are already in the midst of planning our next release. Stay tuned for some really great stuff.

We want to take this opportunity to thank all of our users, our partners (Bibliographic DataBowker, Technology & DevelopmentAffinity Systems and ACDL Computers, Usability/DesignUsability Matters, Uproot and envy creative) and the Department of Canadian Heritage. Lastly, I would be remiss in not mentioning the hardworking staff here at BookNet. There were many long days and late nights over the last year. Everyone worked incredibly hard to get a completely new system up and running while still keeping things running on the old system…Thanks.

Some SalesData re-build numbers:

  • For the new SalesData system we re-processed approximately 300 weeks worth of data from over 1000 retail locations.
  • Each week we process approximately 10 million lines of retailer data and numerous lines of bibliographic data.
  • Time it takes to process all the data and have it available on the site each week, approximately 6 hours. SalesData used to take approximately 6 times that.
  • Currently tracking sales and inventory for 1.3 million ISBNs
  • There are over 1000 registered users using the system.

Concerns, kudos…? We love to hear from you, so please drop us a line at

Allen Russ: Redefining the World in Photographs

by Borderstan.com July 12, 2010 at 10:00 pm 1,431 1 Comment

Allen Russ Vastu Borderstan Luis Gomez Photos

Photographer Allen Russ at Vastu. (Luis Gomez Photos)

From Cecile Oreste

Allen Russ is a local photographer whose work is currently for sale at Vastu’s $500 or Less Art Exhibition. His on-location work featured in the exhibition includes landscape shots of Acadia National Park in Maine, Estero Bay in Florida and Monument Valley in Arizona.

Landscapes and elements of the environment are often the focus of Russ’ photography.

“I’m always searching for that pure, pristine place,” he said. “In some ways, photography is escapism. When you take the signs of humanity out of the photo, you are redefining the world as you would like it to appear.”

According to Russ, all of the work featured at Vastu was shot on film, which is rare in today’s photography industry. The shots were then scanned into a computer and traditional dark room work was completed using Photoshop.

Despite using new technologies for his dark room work, Russ still uses old school principles to create his finished products.

“I don’t look at a photo as infinitely modifiable,” he said. “I still limit myself to what should theoretically be possible in a traditional darkroom. I try to use the raw digital file as if it were a film negative.”

When asked about the pieces he chose to contribute to the exhibition, Russ rediscovered older pieces in his collection. “I think they will appeal to people seeing them for the first time,” he said. He also based his decision on what would work best in the store, where he previously exhibited his work in 2007.

In addition to his artistic photography, Russ makes a living as an architectural photographer at Hoachlander Davis Photography in Adams Morgan. He was recently a finalist in the 2010 International Photography Competition at Fraser Gallery and also regularly participates in the Hickok Cole Architects/Washington Project for the Arts annual benefit.

He is currently working on a project titled “City of Trees,” a collection of tree photographs in the District which he plans to publish as a book. He hopes to donate the proceeds from the potential book sales to the Trust for the National Mall and to eventually expand this business model in order to impact other important organizations.

‘Pony Pop-Up’ Coming to 14th Street NW This Weekend

by Tim Regan January 12, 2016 at 1:20 pm 6 Comments

Peppermint Pony

(Updated on Friday, Jan. 15: The Peppermint Pony will no longer bring its miniature equines. Instead, Big D’s Pony Rides will supply two ponies.)

Two real live ponies will visit 14th Street NW this weekend.

Constellation Theatre Company will host a “pony pop-up” in front of Source (1835 14th Street NW) this Sunday between noon and 3 p.m. The pop-up will star two precious ponies that passers-by will be able to feed and pet.

The pop-up is a promotional event for Constellation’s upcoming performance of “Equus,” which is the disturbing tale of a teenager “whose dangerous obsession with horses leads him to commit an unspeakable act of violence.” The play’s main character — once infamously portrayed on Broadway by Daniel Radcliffe — wades through scenes of ritualized violence, sexual ecstasy and a chorus of human horses during the production.

Though the play is “definitely for adults,” said Constellation PR rep Travis Hare, “any kids who are on 14th Street that day will enjoy hanging out with the ponies.”

“It’s their parents who we hope will come see ‘Equus,'” he added.

Photo via The Peppermint Pony

  • A pony pop-up sounds suspiciously like a petting zoo.

    • Borderstan

      Poweful tranqs are PROBABLY not needed here though. Just…FYI.

      • Angela Leigh Cichetti Deppe

        yeah no worries there! Our unwritten motto is “no carnies, crackheads, or cutoffs” ;-D

  • Angela Leigh Cichetti Deppe

    Looking forward to lightening the mood a bit. Come down and visit!

  • Brett Glass

    Inviting kids to pet ponies to promote a play in which (thankfully fictional) horses are abused… Appropriate?

  • Angela Leigh Cichetti Deppe

    This will not be happening due to the necessary permits not being able to be pulled.
    Apologies to anyone who expected to see us. We are still doing one on one Unicorn Discovery Encounters up here in Howard County MD. http://www.thepeppermintpony.com

Compression of the support sheath

The elastic and compressed knitted fabric (compression class II) results in optimised compression.

Function of the anchor straps

The anchor points work in combination with an increased circular compression on the proximal and distal sections of the knitted fabric - comparable with the anchor straps of a conventional tape.

Central functional principle

Silicone-coated cross restraints placed directly onto the skin cause the muscles to move, thus providing relief to the injured muscle area.

Function window

Loosely knitted expansion area to enable maximum approximation of the injured muscle percentage via the lesion.

Maximum relief at the intersection

The intersection of the straps is positioned over the muscle injury. Here, maximum relief takes place with simultaneous compression of the injured area.
