Little Italy

Little Italy, Montreal, QC, Canada

Ciao Italia in Montreal

Because few words evoke more starry eyes and romance than Italy does, Montreal’s equivalent of the Mediterranean country definitely fits the bill in the love department. Be it because of the fantastic cappuccino, the lively expats speaking Italian, the Italian bookstores or the extremely alluring restaurants, Montreal’s Little Italy is as close to Italy as visitors can get on this side of the pond. The bastion of the city’s Italian community since the 19th century offers all the staples one would expect to find in Italy, in the most traditional way: bocce parks, family-run trattorias, church frescos and a plethora of yumgasm-inducing aromas (local favorites include La Cornetteria and Café Via Dante).

Agile project management at brandung

When we develop digital products for you, we need to be able to respond quickly to changing conditions or situations. What is the basic prerequisite to this end? Our agile development processes in accordance with Scrum and Kanban. And despite this, no two products or projects are alike. Here you can find out what this means for our common workflow.
agile project management

Working with us is like this:

In order to ensure an ideal project sequence it is important for us that we address your specific needs. The fact that we work in an agile way does not mean that we approach every project in the same way – on the contrary. We employ flexible models and always adapt to the individual requirements of a project in terms of the make-up of our team and our working methods.

To begin with we jointly analyse your status quo, we advise you strategically in terms of your goals and record your requirements in relation to the product. With a clear view, we initially focus on important functions and early operability instead of investing in too many features that subsequently impact upon the timetable and the budget plan. Short-term further developments are of course possible at any time in an agile setup.

Following this we move on to the planning stage: depending on the requirements of the project we define the areas of responsibility and coordinate matters with you as the stakeholder or product owner. Our project managers act as proxy product owners or Scrum masters, set up the requirements management in our Confluence tool and put together the development team.

In the next step we group together all the requirements in JIRA, a transparent ticket system. This provides the basis for an iterative development process and rapid communication. Each requirement is broken down into subtasks and can thus be processed in specified sprints in terms of the concept, design and technical development. Here we obviously regularly coordinate matters with you.

The GoLive is about to be launched! We provide you with intensive support during the deployment and also ensure optimal maintenance in addition to consistent and sustained further development following the release.

Innovatives Arbeiten

Your advantages in the field of agile project management:

  • Problems can be detected earlier and rectified more quickly.
  • Products can be tested and optimised more quickly
  • Results can be adapted to markets, competitors and technologies more quickly and in a less complicated manner
  • The communication runs simply and efficiently
  • Interdisciplinary teams develop innovative and user-friendly solutions

Our teams:

You gain the entire manpower for your project with us: more than 170 account and project managers, designers, UX concept developers as well as frontend and backend developers work at brandung. The team for your project will be put together in-house and with an interdisciplinary makeup. We jointly develop innovative and customised solutions in the agile development process in accordance with Scrum and Kanban. Find out more about your advantages in collaborating with us here.

The key contributions of the Steel industry and fueling the Power Generation sector

Nov-16-2018 Post / the-key-contributions-of-the-steel-industry-and-fueling-the-power-generation-sector

All functioning industries, manufacturers, residential, and commercial setups rely on the Power industry for their supply of Electricity in various forms. The power supplied to these host of industries allow them to power their machinery, provide the power for the basic amenities, power the supply chain processes, helps monitor and check everything is working seamlessly on power-generated laptops and gadgets.

Though the Power industry is key in providing value to these industries, the Steel industry has a co-dependence with the Power industry. The power industry supplies the required power and electricity to the Steel industry and the Steel industry supplies the products for the setup and infrastructure of the Power generation industry. Steel forms an integral part of all kinds of Power Generation industries from non-renewable sources like Natural Gas, Coal, or renewable sources like, Wind, Water, etc.

Here are some applications of Steel in the different sections of the Power Generation industry:

Extraction of Resources:
Extracting and sourcing of the resources from the depths of the sea or the ground is a first step to generate power from non-renewable sources like Natural gas and fossils that need specific extraction equipment. Most of these equipment include huge amounts of Steel for their extraction, from offshore extraction platforms to cranes and lifters. Steel is an alloy that has minimal to no chemical effect on these resources sourced and therefore is chosen as an ideal material.

Main Infrastructure:
Construction of Power plants, windmills, hydro-power system, Nuclear power station, etc all include huge amounts of Structural steel. It is a key material used in such important infrastructure for its high reliability and strength. The dependence on the Power plants is huge and therefore it is important to use only the best materials in their constructions that will ensure that these structures have the least to no failure percentage and are built to withstand major calamities, natural and man-made.

Power Generation Machinery:
Generation of Power is achieved at very high temperatures and high pressures. This is a very critical atmosphere to consider when building and incorporating machinery and vessels that hold the generated power and store them, for instance, electricity turbines, wind turbines, electromagnets. The ability of Steel to withstand heat and pressure makes is a practical and simple choice to be included in the machinery to generate power of all kinds. Also, the non-corrosive Steel type ensures that there is no reaction of the resources like coal, water, nuclear substances, to allow unadulterated production.

Transfer of Power and Electricity:
Transmission towers, pipelines, bulk storage tanks, etc are all made out of different grades of Steel and Steel types to store and transfer the power and electricity to the required destinations. Power lines supply electricity to major industries, and even homes is passed over long distances from the Power Generation plants. Construction of these transmission wires and the wires themselves use Steel as a key element.

At Agni Steels, all the power and electricity used in our production facility is supplied by our renewable and sustainable source, Windmills which were constructed with our in-house TMT Steel rods.

Cost Savers and Budgeting Tips

How and Where to Buy Tile: A Guide

Tile can drastically change a room’s ambiance, but it can also quickly eat away at your renovation budget.  Look at this guide to define how and where to buy tile.

Mosaic tile renovations

Tile can drastically change a room’s ambiance, but it can also quickly eat away at your renovation budget. Looking to create a spa-like bathroom without applying for a second mortgage? Then you’ll need to know the basics of smart tile shopping — including where to buy tile as well as how to buy tile without breaking the bank. Get the most bang for your buck by following these money-saving tile tips:

1. Know where to buy tile — or, rather, where NOT to buy it.

Sure, you can go to your neighborhood home improvement store to find a large selection of tile options. You may even have some fancy showrooms nearby that have their own selections, as well. If you're lucky, you'll also have close access to discount warehouses that sell leftover and overstock tile. And the World Wide Web? Those tile options abound. But where should you actually make your purchase?

Here’s some advice: Think long and hard about how much tile you need — and really crunch the numbers to determine the true price of each tile when it’s all said and done. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Unfortunately, no. For example, if you’re covering an entire room in tile and most of it will be on the floor (perhaps hidden under rugs or furniture), why splurge on expensive artisan showroom tile for the floor when the discount store tile looks and holds up virtually the same? Likewise, when shopping for tile online, you may come across what looks like a steal of a deal. When you add that tile to your virtual cart, however, the price suddenly skyrockets because of shipping and handling costs. In the end, your frugal find ends up being a costly headache. Make sure you plan ahead and assess all of the costs associated with your tile purchase before actually shelling out the money for it.

 2. Use “the good stuff” sparingly.

You know that expensive tile that you really had your heart set on? You don’t have to avoid it altogether. Simply consider using it as accent tile for your project rather than the only tile used. For example, say you’ve fallen in love with a certain marble tile for your bathroom renovation. Marble tends to have a heftier price tag than its counterparts, so it may be out of your budget to do the entire bathroom in it. However, you can certainly get the look for less by using it only along the top of the bathtub surround or as a decorative border in the shower, among other options.

3. Consider tile look-alikes.

Have you heard of luxury vinyl tile (LVT)? Prepare to be amazed. “Vinyl” is no longer a cringe-worthy term. In fact, vinyl flooring has come so far that it can easily be mistaken for hardwood or stone. There are even tile and plank options available that are groutable, making them even tougher to distinguish from the real thing. The best part? You can purchase LVT at a fraction of the cost!

4. Show off your DIY skills.

Maybe you don’t want to budge on your tile purchase preference. Or maybe your project is so large that the cost is hard to swallow, no matter how much of a deal you were able to procure on the materials. Are there any other ways you can cut costs on your tile project? Absolutely! Here are a few options:

·  Take care of the demolition yourself — being mindful of any plumbing or other fixtures, of course.

· If you don’t trust yourself to do a complete demo, lend a helping hand by preparing in other ways, such as clearing the area of furniture and removing the baseboard molding.

· Removing the old grout? Someone’s got to do it. It may as well be you.

· Don’t feel comfortable using a tile saw? Try your hand at grouting. It’s easier than you may think.

The cost of professional labor really adds up. So any way that you can help to offset that cost is definitely worth it!

Partnership helps customers integrate market-leading time-tracking solution with QuickBooks

AUSTIN, TEXAS (April 12, 2005) — Journyx — the leader in Web-based time and expense tracking solutions that automate invoicing, payroll and project management — today announces that it has selected AimSourcing, Inc. to provide integration and implementation services to Journyx Timesheet® customers using Intuit® QuickBooks® Basic, QuickBooks Pro, or QuickBooks Premier. By integrating the Journyx Timesheet time accounting solution with QuickBooks, AimSourcing automates the flow of time data into customers’ billing, project management, and payroll processes. AimSourcing is an accounting information management services firm that provides consulting, implementation, and training services for the integrated solution.

“This partnership allows Journyx customers to better manage their finances,” said Curt Finch, CEO of Journyx. “AimSourcing is a ‘black-belt’ services provider for QuickBooks-based companies and provides real business value to our customers.”

For many companies, time-tracking needs exceed the capabilities offered by the built-in QuickBooks timesheet feature. The capabilities of the Journyx Timesheet product are needed, but many companies choose not to move the data manually from Timesheet into QuickBooks. Integrating Timesheet with QuickBooks solves the problem by automatically feeding time data – accurately and quickly – into QuickBooks for billing and payroll purposes. Companies reduce costs and increase billing-driven revenues substantially.

“As a customer of AimSourcing, hiring them two years ago was one of the smartest moves we’ve made in growing our business,” said Rick Silva, owner of Living Assets Management, a business coaching consultancy. “Journyx Timesheet, integrated with QuickBooks, allows us to easily collect and verify information from our coaches located throughout the country and invoice clients promptly every month. I have been able to reduce my accounting time to zero, and focus on using the collected information to manage and grow our team and clientele. It’s great to have a reliable and efficient partner with effective and easy-to-use systems.”

AimSourcing works with Journyx customers to integrate their new or existing Journyx Timesheet system with QuickBooks. AimSourcing works with customers to build the integration between the two products, and optimize the QuickBooks set-up and configuration for greatest efficiency.

“We are basically doing for our customers what worked so well for our own business when we selected Journyx as our timesheet system provider,” said Sarah Glass, President of AimSourcing. “We understand QuickBooks the way Journyx understands time tracking, and we knew that our combined expertise could bring a valuable solution to market. Our Timesheet/QuickBooks integration solution allows companies to focus on their core business, rather than on software systems.”

Sixth Grade Water Festival

Bryan Betts

Operating a fire house, reading rain gauges and examining aquatic insects all became opportunities for local sixth-graders to explore the importance of water at Alamogordo's Family Recreation Center Tuesday.

The additional opportunity to go swimming on a sunny day only served to emphasize that point to the more than 400 students who attended the second annual Sixth Grade Water Festival.

Lincoln National Forest Partnership Coordinator Peg Crim said the U.S. Forest Service, in partnership with the New Mexico Department of Health and more than a dozen other organizations, organized the event to help students connect what they're learning about water at school with applications outside the classroom.

"They learn the water cycle in the classroom and all those things, but we're hoping to reinforce that with some real world things, to see how water's used," Crim said. "Everybody brings a different twist to it, but it's just all about water."

Tuesday's event kicked off around 9 a.m. with the arrival of students on buses from Holloman Middle School. Students from Mountain View Middle School and Chaparral Middle School walked to the event later in the morning, with each school staying for one hour of the three hour event.

Beginning around 11 a.m., Chaparral Middle sixth-graders had their chance to rotate in groups between the activities and displays setup on the recreation center's parking lot and soccer fields.

At one display, state climatologist Dave Dubois spoke with students about how to identify different types of clouds, like those that might have brought rain at some point during the day. Nearby New Mexico State University graduate student Yizhi Zhao oversaw a game that taught students to read a rain gauge by racing to fill the instruments with water.

The smell of fresh baked cookies wafted from a New Mexico Solar Energy Association display on conserving energy that showed off the solar-powered capabilities of a sun oven. The connection to the event's water theme was made explicit with a solar panel used to power a fountain.

The importance of water to animal life featured at a couple displays. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish set up a table where students could examine aquatic macroinvertebrates, animals whose population size can help determine water quality. At another area students could pet Mitchell the dromedary camel and learn about the four-year old animal's unique adaptations for dry desert environments.

The Alamogordo Fire Department demonstrated yet another application for water by allowing students to use the stream from a high-pressured fire hose to knock over an orange safety cone.

White Sands National Monument, the Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility and the Natural Resource Conservation Service, as well as several other groups, also provided education activities at Tuesday's event.

At the end of each hour, the recreation center opened up its pool for students to swim.

Crim said she hoped students would leave the event with a greater appreciation for water issues and an interest in learning more about where their water comes from.

"They need to learn about their natural resources and how to take care of them so they will be there for them and their future generations," she said.

I see you didn't get back to me on your alone vs. lonely thread, yet you did post to other threads. I wouldn't have thought twice of this, but this is the second time you've done something like this. The last time was a month or two ago.

It's hard to escape the conclusion you're avoiding me. Have I wronged you? If so, please tell me. I'd like the chance to make it right. If I haven't, why have you stopped writing me? We had a good friendship going, or so I thought.

Not wanting to post you if you don't want me to, I do not plan to ever post you again unless you post me first. Take care.

Sam Gill's Coursed Waters: Many Altered Returns

Jerome Wilson By

Sign in to view read count
Sam Gill's Coursed Waters: Many Altered Returns
Sam Gill is an alto saxophonist from Sydney, Australia who on this release with his quartet, Coursed Waters, plows a similar musical furrow as Tim Berne. His group plays an interesting blend of involved written-music and free improvisation with an elastic sense of volume and tempo.

The CD's opening track, "Nodap," starts with a climbing, angular melody that alternates between lively and mournful moods and turns into a cauldron of potent improvised rumbling that spotlights the cohesiveness between Gill's howling alto, Novak Manojlovic's nervous piano, Jacques Emery's jittery bass and James MacLean's rustling drums. A similarly angular feel underlies "Fortean Days." Here alto and drums stumble together in a woozy dance, the piano stabs well-placed chords and Emery's bass provides a solid rhythmic center, holding this jangling mass together as the tempo picks up and Gill and Manjlovic go on separate frenzied rides.

The group's talents with both melodic playing and improvisation are best illustrated by "Fortean Nights." It begins with Manojlovic dramatically tumbling alone, then with the bass and drums. The pace quickens as Gill buzzes in and the quartet dives into abstract smears and ripples which change into a more unified, slippery sound with giddy alto bouncing off piano chords. Then after a brief pause, the quartet starts to play together with an insistent, blues-tinged edge. The alto and piano frantically wail and surge together as the rhythm section keeps a rocky beat behind them.

"The Turn" and "Staring Straight" are more subdued works. "Turn" is a ballad form where Gill's warbling lines wander alongside halting piano and softly supportive rhythm. On "Staring" the quartet creates a trance-like atmosphere out of small musical fragments. Then Gill blows a repeated snatch of melody while the drums pop like firecrackers. This gradually builds to a jagged but tuneful quartet climax.

This is a stimulating slab of prickly composition and guided improvisation. Gill and his partners have a great feel for each other and know how to get through their unwieldy musical mazes without getting lost. As hair-raising as their individual playing can get, together they always manage to guide their music home to a satisfying conclusion.

Nodap; The Turn; Fortean Nights; Staring Straight; Fortean Days; Meanwhile, Elsewhere, Anything.

Sam Gill: alto saxophone; Novak Manojlovic: piano; Jacques Emery: double bass; James McLean: drums.

Derailment is speech characterized by a progression of statements or thoughts that are not connected or relevant to each other. Described as a "loosening of association" or tangential thinking, speech exhibiting derailment is composed of ideas or statements that are completely unrelated to each other but are connected as if in a legitimate conversation. Typically occurring in disorders like schizophrenia the language will be structured like normal conversational speech but the components of the dialogue will be unrelated and make little sense. An example of derailment would be "The salad was green as I left the front porch yesterday. My uncle is a nice person and dogs like to swim in rivers when the sky is very cloudy."

Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

These hanger covers would be such a great way to recycle old hangers that have seen better days. There are so many different appliqus you could make in place of the heart, if you do not want to make the heart. Or, you could just leave it with nothing. If you do not want to spend a lot of time changing colors, it would be great if it was only in one color too.

Every so often I will see hangers like this when out at estate sales, flea markets or thrift shops and they usually show signs of wear. This is the perfect way to up-cycle them and give those hangers a new life. I usually would not buy them if they looked beat up but mow I do not have that as an excuse any longer.

Those are cute! The link works fine. It takes you to the website that has the pattern for free. Unfortunately, you cant view the pattern but instead you have to download it first. Im guessing its ok to do so. The website looks like its established. I do prefer to be able to look over a pattern before I download it though.

These crochet hanger covers are priceless. I can remember when my Grandmohter had crochet hanger covers in her closet. I thouht they were the bee's knees. (lol) Once I begin something it is really hard to stop. I don't think I will ever have enough for my closet so these may be nice to give as a gift when an article of clothing is given. Too cute

I remember having these crochet hanger covers in my closet as a child. They bring back fond memories of my childhood. Aside from being an adorable accessory, they're actually quite an improvement upon your standard plastic or wire hangers. The yarn crocheted around the hanger adds a padding, which in turn helps to protect whatever item of clothing you're using the hanger for. I might even still have some left from years ago. Does anyone have any of these from their childhood? I had always wondered how they were made, and now, I can make my own!

These are cute hangers! I did find that crocheting about 56 chains and then sc 55 for about 8 to 20 rows makes a much quicker hanger if you are in a hurry! when finished crocheting i find the middle by folding in half place piece over hook and whip stitch along the bottom to finish - of course great for horizontal stripes - not hte cute verticle stripes!

I just opened it up and printed it without any problem.

Terriest is right. There is no link for Crochet Hanger Covers. These would be great hostess gifts for Christmas. Thanks for reading message.

click for pattern. then on next page scroll down to the bottom of the stitch abbreviations, above the comments. "click here to download pattern" is there. hope you find it. -dana

Link does not work for this Crochet Hanger Covers. Thanks.

Flies are extremely common around Austalia and they are a pest in every sense of the word. They pose a health risk to humans, pets and livestock and can infest your business and spread diseases like Salmonella and E. coli. A few species may even bite humans and animals. If a small fly problem is left uncontrolled, it has the potential to turn into a serious infestation. Some fly species are able to mature from eggs to adults in just seven days.

Meagre but Eager: How to save BIG on Mount Hotham Lift Tickets

Holy freaking snow balls! The season has officially opened in Australia and while we may not be knee deep just yet, it’s wonderful knowing we are one day closer to our first chairlift of the season….whenever that may be for each of us.

While my enthusiasm is beyond measure, sadly my bank account is working against me this year. I had left my last job in January, earlier this year, because in the lead up to my End of Probation Review, I came to the unfortunate realisation that (a) I do not believe the company I was working for would be able to deliver any future promise, (b) that after seven odd years, I might not be destined for the insurance industry after all. (Big shock there, eh? I mean…who is???).

So with very, very, very limited funds left and only the promise of a tax return keeping me afloat, I realised that if I am to make it to the snow this year I'm going to have to get smart about it. Because snow riding is a 'want' for me, it is a physical, psychological and genuine emotional 'need' for me.

Will work for Snow. Literally.

My Mt Hotham Money Saving Method

They say if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it actually make a sound? Well, I ask you, if there’s snow in the mountains and I’m not there to ride it. can I actually call it a season? With the threat of not being able to fund the upcoming season, I’ve had to get smart about costs and what I’ve come up with so far is juicy JUCY!

JUCY have what appears to be an annual promotion called SKI4FREE. To sum it up, they are offering free lift passes for up to SIX consecutive days for Mount Hotham Alpine Resort in Australia and Treble Cone in New Zealand.

Are you thinking: That sounds to good to be true, or are you asking: What’s the catch?

To the best of my knowledge there isn’t one or at least there isn’t one in my opinion. I’ve read through the SKI4FREE terms and conditions, and have gone through the booking process right up until it asked for my credit card details. Overall the terms & conditions seem reasonable and fair, but don’t take my word for it, check out out the SKI4FREE terms and conditions for yourself and feel free to tell me what you think of them.

After I shared the JUCY SKI4FREE promotion with my friends, we were all eager to head to Hotham this year and take advantage of the possible savings. The problem that then presented itself was that the SKI4FREE deal requires two people to pick up the car. So between the two of us we would have to decide who gets the savings? Do we split it equally? Or does it go to the most cash-strapped of the group?

Well, because we were leaning toward splitting the savings equally and I really wanted to have my cake and eat it too, I came up with a plan.

The Plan

  1. I will book and pay for the cheapest JUCY car available, and I will not choose to lower the insurance excess.

  2. I will ask a friend who is not interested in skiing or snowboarding to come with me to pick up said rental car.

  3. We will then drive the car to my house and secure it safely in my driveway for the duration of the snow trip….

  4. The others that will be joining on this snow trip will each book and pay for the cheapest JUCY Car available;

  5. They will ask separate friends that are not interested in skiing or snowboard to go with them to pick up their rental cars;

  6. They will each drive their cars home and safely secure them in their respective driveways, garages, etc for the duration of the snow trip.

  7. We will all pile into my own car (for which I already own snow chains for) and drive to the snow!

  8. We will only pay for petrol and parking permits for one car.

  9. Revel in the savings galore!

The view from Frosty Drop, Mount Hotham

The Math

So, assuming you’re cool with the T&C’s, let’s break down the potential savings. Because I am a bit of a nerd and made a living on data analysis and crunching numbers, I have set out the potential savings which are based on when you would have booked your lift tickets. I have also added an additional day to the start and end of the rental period which is for picking up and dropping off the car. If you don't mind sticking to a strict deadline, you could possibly squeeze the rental period, but for the sake of showing the most conservative savings I've set it so that if you’re renting a car for 3 three days if you're planning on riding for one day. Capish?

Here we go:

**UPDATED 28 July 2018: The Jucy SKIFORFREE Deal is very much still available, and I've updated the pricing and estimated savings based on 2018 pricing. **

Pricing for a 1 Day Lift Pass.

Scenario 1: If you purchase your lift ticket over 3 days in advance:

1 Day Lift Pass: $126

Jucy Car Rental: $96 (for their cheapest car I found that's costs $32 a day)

Savings of $30

Scenario 2: If you purchase your lift tickets between 0 to 2 days in advance.

1 Day Lift Pass: $133

Jucy Car Rental: $96

Savings of $37

Pricing for a Weekend Lift Pass.

Scenario 1: If you purchase your lift ticket over 14 days in advance:

1 Day Lift Pass: $199

Jucy Car Rental: $128 (for their cheapest car I found that's costs $32 a day)

Savings of $71

Scenario 2: If you purchase your lift tickets over the counter or between 0-13 days.

1 Day Lift Pass: $234

Jucy Car Rental: $128

Savings of $106

Now this isn't the only way to save when you are planning a snow trip to Mount Hotham. They do have other deals which will change up the savings. Visit the Mount Hotham website to check out all their other deals.

About Me

I'm just another person with another blog.

Once upon a time I called myself a Weekend-Warrior, I'm hoping to earn that title back.

Paul Newman

Active - 1954 - 2017  |   Born - Jan 26, 1925 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, United States  |   Died - Sep 26, 2008   |   Genres - Drama, Sports & Recreation

Share on

In a business where public scandal and bad-boy behavior are the rule rather than the exception, Paul Newman is as much a hero offscreen as on. A blue-eyed matinee idol whose career successfully spanned five decades, he was also a prominent social activist, a major proponent of actors' creative rights, and a noted philanthropist. Born January 26, 1925, in Cleveland, OH, Newman served in World War II prior to attending Kenyon College on an athletic scholarship; when an injury ended his sports career, he turned to drama, joining a summer stock company in Wisconsin. After relocating to Illinois in 1947, he married actress Jacqueline Witte, and, following the death of his father, took over the family's sporting-goods store. Newman quickly grew restless, however, and after selling his interest in the store to his brother, he enrolled at the Yale School of Drama. During a break from classes he traveled to New York City where he won a role in the CBS television series The Aldrich Family. A number of other TV performances followed, and in 1952 Newman was accepted by the Actors' Studio, making his Broadway debut a year later in Picnic, where he was spotted by Warner Bros. executives.

Upon Newman's arrival in Hollywood, media buzz tagged him as "the new Brando." However, after making his screen debut in the disastrous epic The Silver Chalice, he became the victim of scathing reviews, although Warners added on another two years to his contract after he returned to Broadway to star in The Desperate Hours. Back in Hollywood, he starred in The Rack. Again reviews were poor, and the picture was quickly pulled from circulation. Newman's third film, the charming Somebody Up There Likes Me, in which he portrayed boxer Rocky Graziano, was both a commercial and critical success, with rave reviews for his performance. His next film of note was 1958's The Long Hot Summer, an acclaimed adaptation of a pair of William Faulkner short stories; among his co-stars was Joanne Woodward, who soon became his second wife. After next appearing as Billy the Kid in Arthur Penn's underrated The Left-Handed Gun, Newman starred opposite Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, scoring his first true box-office smash as well as his first Academy Award nomination.

After appearing with Joanne Woodward in Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys! -- the couple would frequently team onscreen throughout their careers -- Newman traveled back to Broadway to star in Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth. Upon his return to the West Coast, he bought himself out of his Warner Bros. contract before starring in the 1960 smash From the Terrace. Exodus, another major hit, quickly followed. While by now a major star, the true depths of Newman's acting abilities had yet to be fully explored; that all changed with Robert Rossen's 1961 classic The Hustler, in which he essayed one of his most memorable performances as pool shark "Fast" Eddie Felson, gaining a second Oscar nomination. His third nod came for 1963's Hud, which cast him as an amoral Texas rancher. While a handful of creative and financial disappointments followed, including 1964's The Outrage and 1965's Lady L, 1966's Alfred Hitchcock-helmed Torn Curtain marked a return to form, as did the thriller Harper.

For 1967's superb chain-gang drama Cool Hand Luke, Newman scored a fourth Academy Award nomination, but again went home empty-handed. The following year he made his directorial debut with the Joanne Woodward vehicle Rachel Rachel, scoring Best Director honors from the New York critics as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. The couple next appeared onscreen together in 1969's Winning, which cast Newman as a professional auto racer; motor sports remained a preoccupation in his real life as well, and he was the most prominent of the many celebrities who began racing as a hobby. He then starred with Robert Redford in 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which went on to become the highest-grossing Western in movie history. It was followed by 1971's W.U.S.A., a deeply political film reflecting Newman's strong commitment to social activism; in addition to being among Hollywood's most vocal supporters of the civil rights movement, in 1968 he and Woodward made headlines by campaigning full time for Democratic Presidential candidate Eugene McCarthy.

After directing and starring in 1971's Sometimes a Great Notion, Newman announced the formation of First Artists, a production company co-founded by Barbra Streisand and Steve McQueen. Modeled after the success of United Artists, it was created to offer performers the opportunity to produce their own projects. Newman's first film for First Artists' was 1972's Pocket Money, followed by another directorial effort, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. After a pair of back-to-back efforts under director John Huston, 1972's The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean and the next year's The Mackintosh Man, Newman reunited with Redford in The Sting, another triumph which won the 1973 Best Picture Oscar. He next appeared in the star-studded disaster epic The Towering Inferno, followed by 1975's The Drowning Pool, a sequel to Harper. His next major success was the 1977 sports spoof Slap Shot, which went on to become a cult classic.

A string of disappointments followed, including Robert Altman's self-indulgent 1979 effort Quintet. The 1981 Absence of Malice, however, was a success, and for 1982's courtroom drama The Verdict Newman notched his fifth Best Actor nomination. He finally won the Oscar on his sixth attempt, reprising the role of Eddie Felson in 1986's The Color of Money, Martin Scorsese's sequel to The Hustler. After starring in two 1989 films, Blaze and Fat Man and Little Boy, Newman began appearing onscreen less and less. In 1991, he and Joanne Woodward starred as the titular Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, and three years later he earned yet another Academy Award nomination for his superb performance in Robert Benton's slice-of-life tale Nobody's Fool. His films since then have been fairly sparse and of mixed quality, with Joel Coen's and Ethan Coen's The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) being at the higher end of the spectrum and the Kevin Costner vehicle Message in a Bottle (1999) resting near the bottom. Newman again graced screens in 2000 with Where the Money Is, a comedy that cast him as a famous bank robber who fakes a stroke to get out of prison. For his role as a kindly crime boss in 2002's Road to Perdition, Newman became a ten-time Oscar nominee.

Turning 80 in 2005, Newman nonetheless remained a presence in Hollywood. That year, audiences could see him on the small-screen in the critically-acclaimed HBO miniseries Empire Falls, for which he won a Golden Globe, and the following year, he lent his voice to the Pixar animated film Cars.

Despite his movement away from Hollywood, Newman remained a prominent public figure through his extensive charitable work; he created the Scott Newman Foundation after the drug-related death of his son and later marketed a series of gourmet foodstuffs under the umbrella name Newman's Own, with all profits going to support his project for children suffering from cancer. Newman died on September 26, 2008 after a battle with lung cancer.

Cyberbullying Resources

Most of us have access to technology via mobile phones, tablets, or computers, and these means of communication open up a whole new way of connecting with family and friends. Unfortunately, these tools can also be used to cause harm and hurt others. All bullying is cowardly and causes deliberate harm to the target. Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic mediums, usually a computer or mobile device. Social networks are the most common way cyberbullying occurs and media bullying (harrassment by various news media networks) is also a big problem. Cyberbullies use texts, emails, blogs, chat rooms, online forums, social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, instant messages and online gaming platforms.

Cyberbullying can take place in the workplace as well as in school and because of the anonymous nature of this type of bullying it is very difficult to trace the perpetrator. It also occurs 24/7 and because of this there is no relief for the target of cyberbullying.

Below are leaks that were reported last week.

Wendy’s Continued – Now over 1025 restaurants – Reported last week, leaked data was credit card data (maybe yours!) from transactions at Wendy’s restaurants.  This breach began in the Fall of 2015 and wasn’t discovered until early this year.  Wendy’s confirmed this week that even more restaurants are involved and you can now find out if the restaurant that you visited was hit using this handy web page.  How nice of them.

Datadog – Number of records is undisclosed – Leaked data was usernames, passwords and e-mail addresses; all of them, apparently.  Multiple servers at Datadog were breached, including a database server that housed the login info.  Customer listed as Datadog users includes big dogs like Spotify, PBS, Slashdot, Samsung, Imgur, Coursera, The New York Times, and Ziff Davis.  Passwords were stored using a unique salt for each password and then each password was encrypted with bcrypt which is resistant to brute-force attacks.  Despite the strong storage methods used for the passwords, Datadog has invalidated all stored passwords and sent e-mails to all users with reset instructions.  More info can be found from our friends at Sophos here.  Yes, that’s a blatant plug.

Omni Hotels – Number of records is undisclosed – Leaked data includes Point of Sale (POS) data which includes credit card cardholder name, credit/debit card number, security code and expiration date.  The data was discovered missing on May 30, 2016, according to Omni Hotels, which wrote up the breach details on their own website.  The cause of the breach was due to malware that infected POS systems and only affected customers who physically presented their credit cards at one of the effected hotels between December 23 2015 and June 14 2016.  More information can be found here.

Baton Rouge Police – 50,000 records – The contents of the leaked data were not disclosed, but the leak was due to a security failure in the police department’s website which allowed Bad Actors access to login credentials for a police Oracle database.

Get Luscious Lips this Spring!

Get Luscious Lips this Spring!

Spring is here! Warmer days, blooming flowers and sunshine are on the way. And as they say, spring is the season of love, so it’s time to make sure your lips are full, healthy and ready for kissing!

Winter can be terrible for our skin, and one area that is often overlooked is our lips. The colder months see our lips chapped and sore, exposed to the elements and yet often without the same degree of protection that we apply to our skin. Yet this wonderful feature is such an important expression of who we are and how we communicate and present ourselves to the world.

Fresh back from the 2017 Beauty Expo in Sydney (see my previous blog!), of course I have some fabulous new Spring season colours and products to share with you. But more importantly, when it comes to lips I have focussed on products that enhance, protect, heal and moisturise.

The first is so fresh and new, that I’m introducing it to you prior to the official product release… the Matte Lip Volumizer from Cherry Bloom! This product is not yet available to the general public, but I have secured a limited number exclusively for my Alpine Beginnings Beauty clients. The Matte Volumizer has a long-lasting formula, lasting all day when applied correctly. It contains textured powders which fill the micro-wrinkles in your lips, hiding imperfections and producing a beautifully smooth and flawless result. Unlike other long-lasting lip colours, the Matte Volumizer is non-drying, with a creamy texture that adheres easily to lips. It comes in a beautiful range of high pigment colours that perfectly compliment your new spring look. Get it now for only $44!

Another new product I’m very excited about is the Image Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex. This fantastic new line from Image is available in clear or sheer pink, and is designed to enhance the appearance and volume of lip contours. It works through an ultra-hydrating, powerful polypeptide that will boost lip moisture volume by 40% with repeated use. The Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex also contains a harmonising blend of organic chamomile and green tea extracts to restore the skin’s natural balance. With this paraben-free and potent moisturising formula, fine lip lines are diminished, the effects of dehydration are reversed and tenderness is reduced. This is especially crucial to repair the damage left by winter’s chill. Enhance your lips for just $33.

Lastly, but far from the least, the La Glam Luscious Lips Primer is an essential item in any beauty and skincare kit. A good quality lip primer is essential, especially in the cooler months when lips are prone to chaffing and damage. The La Glam Luscious Lips Primer is a great moisturiser, so it’s good for the outdoors and general use even without makeup (it’s tinted a gorgeous hue of pink so it looks great even on its own!). However using the Luscious Lips Primer is also an important step in prepping your lips for holding lipstick when you go out. Available now for only $24!

So make sure you pop into the Salon today to check out our fantastic new range of products for beautiful, healthy, kissable lips. Your lips will love you for it!

Celebrating Mums at Alpine Beginnings Beauty this Mother’s Day!

Celebrating Mums at Alpine Beginnings Beauty this Mother’s Day!

Mothers are special, and here at Alpine Beginnings we firmly believe that they are worth celebrating. And while we think every day should be Mother’s Day, that second Sunday in May is a wonderful opportunity to show the important women in our lives how special they really are.

Preparing for this Mother’s Day has brought back some wonderful memories from a special trip I took last year with an amazing group of women. We decided that celebrating Mother’s Day didn’t have to mean cold toast in bed presented by proud children, and the ongoing (and loving) demands of a well-meaning day with the family. Rather, just this once, it meant leaving the fathers, husbands, partners and boyfriends with our adorable children, and spending the weekend away with a fantastic collection of ladies. We did what WE wanted to do, and spoiled ourselves rotten with dinners out, shopping and a stretch limo-driven winery tour near Canberra. We laughed ‘til we cried, we danced, we talked, we shared and we had an absolute ball. It was a weekend I’ll never forget, and a great reminder that sometimes the gifts we need are the ones we give ourselves.

So whether you want to spoil your own mother, or take some well-earned pamper time for yourself, we’ve assembled an indulgent collection of packages that are just perfect for giving this Mother’s Day.

The Facial Package

$120, 65 minutes

The Facial Package includes an anti-ageing Hydro Restore Facial and Deluxe Scalp Massage followed by a complimentary neck and décolletage treatment. After this divine treatment, Mum will receive the FREE gift of a La Clinica Anti-Ageing Scrub and Mask.

The La Clinica products are a truly effective, organic, cosmeceutical range made right here in Australia. The products are Cosmeceuticals, which means they are cosmetic products with medical or pharmaceutical properties; thus they are significantly more powerful and effective than regular moisturisers and off-the-shelf skin products. Nothing could spoil Mum more.

The Makeup Package

$80, 40 minutes

The Makeup Package includes a professional makeup lesson tailored to your mum. $80 can be redeemed on purchase of any of the gorgeous LaGlam mineral makeup products on completion of the session.

The LaGlam mineral makeup range is great for your skin, with soothing, calmative properties, and no paraben preservatives or fragrances. This amazing line of products contains finely ground, naturally occurring minerals such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and iron oxide, which don’t clog pores, feel light to wear and even aide in sun protection. Mum deserves the absolute best, and LaGlam mineral makeup will help her look and feel like the superstar she is.

The Foot Package

$70, 60 minutes

The Foot Package includes a decadent Deluxe Pedicure with Shellac polish. This wonderful treatment includes nail shaping, foot spa soak, cuticles tidied and moisturised, relaxing foot massage and is finished with polish of her choice. Mum’s tired feet will look and feel brand new, and she will also receive a FREE GIFT; a bottle of keratin nail treatment for hands and feet.

Organise your beautiful Mother’s Day gift with Alpine Beginnings now on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au or 0411 355 897, or online at www.alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au.  Mother’s Day packages are only available for purchase until Saturday 13th May 2017. The Packages will be presented in the form of a gift voucher, which is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.
Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Much love to all the mothers out there,

The Benefits of Mineral Makeup…….. and how to make it work with your daily skincare routine

The Benefits of Mineral Makeup…….. and how to make it work with your daily skincare routine

As many of you will know, I recently introduced the utterly fabulous LaGlam Mineral Makeup range to Alpine Beginnings Beauty and all of my loyal clients. I know that quite a few of you have already begun using the Australian LaGlam products, and you are absolutely loving them.

However I’ve had a few questions from people about how to combine your daily skincare and makeup routines, and whether or not the use of mineral makeup interferes with the effectiveness of your skincare products. The short answer to this last question is… No, absolutely not. The advantages of LaGlam mineral makeup are numerous, and I’ve listed a few of them below.

  • LaGlam mineral makeup contains no paraben preservatives and no fragrances
    • These two ingredients are often what cause irritation in people with sensitive skin
  • LaGlam mineral makeup contains no emollient oils or waxes, thus reducing the risk of clogged pores and promoting greater skin health
  • LaGlam mineral makeup contains finely ground, naturally occurring minerals such as zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and iron oxide
    • Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are anti-irritating agents, helping soothe skin conditions such as rosacea and acne
  • LaGlam mineral makeup feels light on your skin, rather than heavy and suffocating like conventional makeup
  • Because of its calmative properties, LaGlam mineral makeup can be used straight after a facial peel, such as the La Clinica facials offered at Alpine Beginnings Beauty.
    • Ordinarily, you may need to wait a few days to a week after a facial peel before applying conventional makeup due to the irritation it may cause to newly exposed and sensitive skin. Not so with LaGlam mineral makeup; the zinc oxide and titanium dioxide act to calm the skin, and may help to reduce any redness.

The presence of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, both found in sunscreen, also helps to boost your sun protection, though mineral makeup shouldn’t be relied upon as the only source of sun protection. LaGlam mineral makeup has an SPF of 15+.

It is important to know that not all mineral makeup is created the same; some brands still contain nasty additives and irritants. Alpine Beginnings Beauty chooses to stock LaGlam as it is 100% mineral with no extra nasties, as well as being Australian made and owned.

When combining your morning skincare routine with makeup application, it is important to let your moisturiser be fully absorbed before applying mineral primer and makeup, to avoid causing clumping and patchiness in the makeup. La Glam mineral makeup products are the perfect compliment to your La Clinica cosmeceutical skincare routine, working harmoniously together to boost the natural health and beauty of your skin.

Because of its different properties, LaGlam mineral makeup should be applied a little differently to conventional makeup. Book a makeup session with the Alpine Beginnings Beauty salon now to find out which products are right for you, and create the look you want this summer. An Alpine Beginnings Beauty makeup lesson is also the perfect christmas gift for that hard-to-buy-for friend or hard-working lady who deserves a little pampering.

Book now on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au or 0411 355 897, or online at www.alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au

Much love,

Glamour, learning and fun at the 2016 Beauty Expo

Glamour, learning and fun at the 2016 Beauty Expo

It’s been a little over a week since I returned home from the 2016 Beauty Expo in Sydney, and my feet have barely touched the ground. The Expo this year was incredibly inspiring, and I have so many new and exciting products, technology and learning to share with you all!

The Expo lineup was amazing, with literally hundreds of exhibitors from around Australia and the globe, numerous seminars, workshops and demonstrations, the Dermal Therapy Conference, Skincare Sanctuary and much, much more. I was introduced to the latest in skincare, nail technology, mineral makeup, spray tan products and cosmeceuticals. International makeup artist Rae Morris was there and gave some very inspiring demonstrations. Other key events included presentations on acne treatment, skincare and nutrition and anti-ageing. One of my favourites was Man vs Machine; and intensive workshop on how to combine the latest beauty compounds and technologies to create case-by-case tailored skin treatments to help clients reach their full skin potential. I love to learn! And the Man vs Machine workshop really challenged me to think outside the box in conventional beauty therapy.

I’m very excited and proud to introduce you all to the amazing new products and technology that I will be bringing into the salon at Alpine Beginnings. A new mineral makeup will soon be available to all of my clients. I’ve tried so many different makeup products over the last year, trying to find something that fits my philosophy of organic, Australian made and of the highest quality…. Soon to be unveiled at the next Alpine Beginnings Beauty Open Night in November….

There were somimg_6683e favourites from last year’s Expo as well. I can happily report that I have re-stocked the Alpine Beginnings shelves with the ever-popular LightStim LED light therapy units. Since introducing LightStim after last year’s Beauty Expo, I have seen amazing results with this product in improving skin tone, texture, reducing wrinkles, aiding healing and reduction in scar tissue. So expect the latest batch of LED units to walk out the door! Get in quick!

I am constantly amazed and awed by the blurring of lines between medical science and today’s beauty therapy. Skin health and natural beauty really do shine from within, and today’s beauty therapist needs to take a wholistic approach to client treatments.

My action-packed Expo weekend also included the Professional Beauty Solutions Conference, which was being held at the same time. PBS supply the amazing La Cinica Skincare cosmeceutical range and sunescape tanning, which I’m proud stock at Alpine Beginnings. PBS support a range of other great products as well, and I was fascinated to learn what they had to offer.

It was here that I was very privileged to spend time with Janine Tait, founder and creator of Bestow Beauty. Janine is a leader in Dermo-Nutrition, a world-wide scientific trend linking nutrition and beauty. She founded Bestow to be able to treat skin at a cellular level; Bestow Beauty’s philosophy is that inner health leads to outer beauty. As I listened to her story, I found so much of what she said really made sense, and perfectly supports the Alpine Beginnings motto “Inspiring Wellness Through Beauty”. Watch this space, as I will definitely be incorporating Bestow Beauty into the Alpine Beginnings range.

I also attended some fascinating seminars on marketing and social media, so expect some fun things to be happening on the Alpine Beginnings Beauty website and facebook page! I will also be implementing a new online booking system, which will make booking your appointment at Alpine Beginnings so much easier. Stay tuned for new product launches and fun events over the coming months.

Take Your Skin to the Gym

Take Your Skin to the Gym

Take your Skin to the Gym! It’s never too late…

Caring for your skin is the first, and most important, step towards optimising your natural beauty. Here at Alpine Beginnings Beauty, the health of your skin is my first priority. But we’re not as good at caring for our skin as we are other aspects of our health. After all, if we feel unwell, we go to the doctor. If we feel unfit we go to the gym… but the condition of our skin is so often something we just accept without trying to change.

Well, guess what? It’s never too late to start… and that’s why I’ve introduced the Alpine Beginnings Beauty exclusive Skin Gym program! It’s all about getting that health, fitness and vitality back into your skin. This is especially important here in our Alpine environment. Did you know that UV radiation at the altitude of the Snowy Mountains is 23-35% higher than that at sea level? Not only that, snow reflects up to 80% of UV radiation. So here in the mountains, we’re getting hit from above and below. That’s a lot of damage being done to your skin!

Skin Gym is designed to kickstart your skin’s metabolism, reboot the ageing of your cells and stimulate the production and repair of collagen and elastin. It will also provide you with a great platform for home maintenance. The different elements of the Skin Gym program will maximise the penetration of your skincare products into your skin, so you get the most out of your daily routine.

Skin Gym involves an individually tailored program, developed specifically for you and your skins needs. After all, everyone is different and so is our skin.

Skin Gym includes a series of 2 appointments, 2-3 weeks apart. Also:

  • Consultation, education and Visia Skin Analysis ($80 value)
  • 2 x Rejuvenation Peel Facials ($130 value)
  • 3 months of skincare products (up to $280 value)

A8 %E2%80%93 Anti Ageing Beautiful Skin Kit

The total value of the Skin Gym program is over $480. As a special online offer, clients can sign up for only $300. This special offer is for a limited time only, so book now to get your skin back to the gym!

Call the salon now on 0411 355 897 or email on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au

Remember, it’s never too late for beautiful skin!

  • Hello ALS community,

    I joined this forum last summer? but have been reading posts from those affected for 2+ years. Although I do not have ALS, I am affected. A good friend of mine from high school was diagnosed 9 years ago. His condition is worsening. He's been having problems swallowing and the docs are calling for a feeding tube. It's a miserable disease to watch and unimaginable to have. I've read here and google searched about acthar and know about the trials that some are participating in. My question is: Is anyone having a benefit from the drug? From what I've read my friend might be too far along in his progression. I know that the cost is crazy. I know that for hardship cases, and if he qualifies, the company sometimes donates the drug. Does anyone have any insight to this? Is he too far along to qualify? Do they actually donate treatment and is it helping? I feel frustrated to see this lucid man physically degenerate. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How Can I Write Your Essay To Me?

Thousands of students have asked: How do I write my essay ? Usually students will say: Yes, I can write it, however I really don’t understand how to get started or when there is a fantastic way for me to begin. Most clients tend to be happy with the results and will always advise that you to a professional essay author who can always receive an A on your own essay.

First things first – you will need to receive each one your essays organized and written into a spreadsheet where you can start writing them. When you are all set to compose your essay, you are able to just pull up that spreadsheet and start typing.

Next, you will want to assess your job and be certain it is organized in the way that you want it to be until you get started writing. This may take a couple of days to organize your homework before you can begin on your essay.

One of the most essential matters that you need to write down is where you’re receiving your ideas to your essay. Try to have a specific place to search for thoughts, but also keep in mind the thought that you think of could be similar to somebody else’s idea. This is just another reason it’s essential to organize your thoughts and have a very clear strategy before you begin writing your own essay.

Lastly, don’t neglect to research the subject which you are going to use as your content for the article. You could even write down this also so that you won’t overlook the info and will always understand where you got it from.

How do I write my essay for me will look like such a simple question, however, you can be confident if you’re able to answer the query, you will secure the best essay possible. Now that you understand the process, go right ahead and begin writing.

Always be sure you give yourself plenty of time to finish writing. It may seem tempting to jump around or to hurry , but that will only make matters worse. You have to concentrate on a great outline for your newspaper. If you try to cram in whatever you will need to write, you might end up forgetting everything you initially meant to write.

Writing essays is not difficult, but it is also not easy. Just keep in mind that if you can compose an essay well, you can write virtually anything – an article, report, publication, or just a report.

So next time you ask yourself,”how do I write my essay ?” Just give it a try.

/ Rapid Rhythm / ECG Screening

Rapid Rhythm, ECG Screening, AME Group, Medical Device

Design and developed by AME the Rapid Rhythm device allows heart patients to be screened in just 90 seconds.

Rapid Rhythm / ECG Screening  - Insight
Rapid Rhythm / ECG Screening  - Create
Rapid Rhythm / ECG Screening  - Validate

Working closely with our client Rapid Rhythm, we employed a user-focused design process that identified a number of product innovations. The result is a user-friendly device that facilitates quicker heart screening tests and requires fewer training hours for medical professionals.

More than half a million people in the UK suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF), which causes an irregular heart rate, and identifies a high risk of stroke. AF results in 575,000 hospital admissions a year, and more than 900,000 people live with the after effects of stroke.

The current method of screening is an electrocardiogram (ECG) test, for which patients undress and lie down to have ten electrodes connected to their body by a qualified medical professional. The procedure can take up to 20 minutes.

The RapidRhythm device is held to a patient’s chest to diagnose AF and other major cardiac conditions. Data is relayed to a LCD touchscreen displaying a high resolution multichannel ECG trace and wirelessly downloaded for further analysis by a physician.

The device conducts a full 8 or 12 lead ECG measurement and can be used in a number of clinical settings. It gives high definition video guidance to the user on how to conduct the test, requires less training time for GPs, doctors and nurses than traditional ECG machines, and can be used without the need for patients to undress. The RapidRhythm device can securely transfer the ECG recording to a remote interpretation service, or a nearby printer for on-site analysis.

As part of our user-focused design process, we conducted on-site interviews at GP surgeries and heart wards to observe patients and understand how they engaged with ECG tests in order to find problems and opportunities for innovation.

This process identified a number of unique product features that we explored across a range of design concepts. These include a single-handed electrode application process, automatic electrode release system, ergonomic form and obvious grip for left or right-handed use. We presented these designs to patients and healthcare professionals to identify a preferred design.

The product was engineered in 3D CAD, with a number of test prototypes created using our in-house facilities. This enabled AME’s engineers to assess the design, highlight issues and minimise the risk and potential costs of resolving them at a later date.

Our low volume production facilities will be used to manufacture a small quantity of the devices, which will be used to validate the Rapid Rhythm product in the field.

  1. You have it a bit off there. It’s been the GEM/Ukie camp rolling the Euro/GFS all winter.
  2. Numerous 2-3.5” reports coming in from McHenry Co. likely the same for other areas where that band traversed. .
  3. Hit an area of +SN with peak vis down close to 1/8M for a time a bit ago near Warrenville.
  4. For the first time this season there’s actually going to be a large reservoir of cold air nearby for the multi-wave period in question. .
  5. The “marginally cold air” part is not correct in this case. .
  6. energy consolidating around energy is always the best. .
  7. High ratios didn’t happen at ORD, that’s for sure. .
  8. It’s probably a close 2nd to the GEM. This multiple wave period is still 5-9 days out though. .

AMETEK Provides COVID-19 Business Update and Announces First Quarter 2020 Earnings Call and Webcast Date

Thursday, April 16, 2020

BERWYN, PA, April 16, 2020 – AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) provides an update on business and operations in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“The COVID-19 global pandemic has created unprecedented challenges,” said David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During these highly uncertain times, we are prioritizing the safety and well-being of our employees while also ensuring our essential businesses continue to provide critical solutions to assist in the fight against COVID-19.”

AMETEK’s solutions are being used by top research laboratories to assist in the development of vaccines and anti-bodies, by hospitals to improve patient care and the safety of health care providers, by medical equipment providers in coronavirus diagnostic testing equipment, and by manufacturers of ventilators. AMETEK is providing continual support to its customers in these and many other essential industries while adhering to safety guidelines from local governments and health organizations.

“Despite strength from select end markets, broader demand weakened in the quarter as the spread of the virus led to supply and demand disruptions. While overall sales in the first quarter will be down approximately 6.5%, we expect adjusted diluted earnings per share to be within our original guidance range on higher margins. The expected adjusted earnings for the quarter exclude an approximate $140 million pre-tax gain from the sale of Reading Alloys and an approximate $45 million pre-tax restructuring charge to realign our cost structure,” said Mr. Zapico.

“We are pleased with the operating performance our businesses delivered in the first quarter, however, given the ongoing uncertainty presented by this pandemic, we are withdrawing our full-year 2020 financial guidance,” Mr. Zapico continued. “We will provide an update on business conditions when we announce our first quarter results.”

AMETEK’s balance sheet provides significant financial flexibility to operate in the current economic environment. At the end of the first quarter, AMETEK had approximately $1.8 billion in liquidity, with $1.25 billion in cash, including proceeds from the recent divestiture of Reading Alloys. AMETEK’s net debt to EBITDA at quarter end was approximately 1.4x. AMETEK maintains an investment-grade credit rating and has no material debt maturities until 2023.

“The strength of the AMETEK Growth Model, our proven operating acumen, and highly talented and committed employees will guide us through this extraordinary economic environment. Our balance sheet remains strong and we are positioned to continue supporting our customers across a diverse set of end markets,” concluded Mr. Zapico.

First Quarter 2020 Earnings Call and Webcast Information
AMETEK will release its financial results for the first quarter on Tuesday, May 5, 2020, before the market opens, and will hold a conference call to discuss those results and the current impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on the same day at 8:30 a.m. ET. The live audio webcast can be accessed by clicking on the Events & Presentations link in the “Investors” section of A replay of the call will also be archived on the website and will be available until the next quarterly earnings call.

AMETEK is a leading global manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices with 2019 sales of approximately $5.0 billion. The AMETEK Growth Model integrates the Four Growth Strategies - Operational Excellence, New Product Development, Global and Market Expansion, and Strategic Acquisitions - with a disciplined focus on cash generation and capital deployment. AMETEK's objective is double-digit percentage growth in earnings per share over the business cycle and a superior return on total capital. The common stock of AMETEK is a component of the S&P 500.

Forward-looking Information
Statements in this news release relating to future events, such as AMETEK’s expected business and financial performance are "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are subject to various factors and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ significantly from expectations. These factors and uncertainties include risks related to COVID-19 and its potential impact on AMETEK’s operations, supply chain, and demand across key end markets; AMETEK’s ability to consummate and successfully integrate future acquisitions; risks with international sales and operations, including supply chain disruptions; AMETEK’s ability to successfully develop new products, open new facilities or transfer product lines; the price and availability of raw materials; compliance with government regulations, including environmental regulations; changes in the competitive environment or the effects of competition in our markets; the ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources; and general economic conditions affecting the industries we serve. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that may affect our future results is contained in AMETEK’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. AMETEK disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Senegal: Seven sick prisoners

, N° d'index: AFR 49/002/1997

Lansana Sane, nurse; Ibrahima Diedhiou, Alpha Badji, farmer, Idrissa Sane, farmer (held in the prison centrale de Rebeuss in Dakar); Abdoulaye Kine Senghor, Abdoulaye Coly, Simon Diatta (held in the prison centrale in Ziguinchor): There is concern for the health of the above seven prisoners who are among 128 detainees from the Casamance region being held on charges related to the armed opposition there. They have all been detained for more than two years in poor prison conditions, and are suffering from a variety of health problems. They have not received adequate medical care. Most Casamance prisoners were reportedly tortured and some may be prisoners of conscience.
