*Updated* I’ve travelled extensively with my two young sons, and flown with them many times. Over the years, I have tried and tested several different products which can help the journey go a lot more smoothly and now and then, new items come onto the market. I’ve added them to the list below. On another note, look how big Monkey is now…

Gone are the days where we’d fuel up on gin, watch all the latest hit movies and then have forty winks before tackling the bar and entertainment console over again.

There’s no two ways about it… I was dreading our 12-hour flight to Bangkok. The longest plane journey we’d ever taken Monkey on was to Egypt, just shy of 6 hours.

It’s not that he’s difficult. Far from it, he’s well-behaved (mostly) and loves to watch films now from start to finish, but he’s very fidgety, has a short concentration span and enjoys being super comfortable, sprawled flat-out when he sleeps.

I’m pleased to report that Monkey surprised the both of us and, considering he only had about six hours of restless sleep, his demeanour was pretty upbeat on arrival at Bangkok airport. I do, however, put it down to a few tricks which definitely helped the whole experience. As always, preparation is key to helping you have a more pleasant journey. And remember, no matter how long the journey actually feels, you are getting off the plane eventually…

Order  a kid’s meal

It’s only a small thing but I didn’t realise until a friend told me that airlines specifically cater for young kids. Plane food can be hit and miss at the best of times (I actually quite like them!) but for small people who are notoriously fussy this can make all the difference when it comes to getting them to eat something. Monkey’s meal consisted of a fruit salad, breaded chicken, mash and peas, accompanied by yoghurt, cheddar slice, Ribena and a pack of chocolate buttons! Meanwhile, breakfast was a sausage and baked beans, a Ella’s fruit pouch and grapes. He actually ate most of it without too much of a fight.

Still on the subject of food, it’s a good idea to being plenty of their favourite snacks as at some point they will get bored and peckish. We have a Bento Yumbox which Monkey adores. I think it’s because it offers a different variety and it’s his special box. They’re also easy to pack, lightweight and durable, which is an added bonus when you already have to bring so much onboard.

Consider using Phenergan

After reading about it a while ago on travel blog Jetlag and Mayhem, I decided to buy some. You can’t actually purchase it over the counter but it’s available online. Phenergan is an antihistamine but works as a mild sedative for young children. Now, I know some parents will be against using drugs to sedate their children  and I’m not advocating this under normal circumstances at home. But after weighing up the pros and cons – side-effects include breathing problems – I decided it was better to have it on the flight then not. I also tried it out at home first to make sure Monkey didn’t have a reaction to it.

I did give some to Monkey during the flight – approximately four hours in. While it made him more sleepy, it didn’t really knock him out for hours on end. But I do think it helped him calm down. Every child is different, but I do know that for some children it really, really works. Please note: This cannot be used for children under two.

Try to book a night flight

If you can fly during the night, then changing your toddler into his pyjamas and doing a mini-bed time routine can really help them settle in for a sleep. In fact, trying to keep their routine as close to normal as possible, is the way to go. This is what we did with Monkey: we got his favourite cuddly bunny, his dummy and his jim jams and because the cabin lights are turned off and you’re pretty much in darkness, it helped reinforce this.

Use a kids neck pillow

There’s nothing worse when Monkey  snoozes and his head rolls to the side – it looks like he’s a contortionist and I’m surprised he never complains of neck ache. There are so many different children’s neck pillows on sale now, but we opted for a  Trunki Yondi. It was a good support for Monkey while he dozed and watch his films. It’s not as bulky as some travel pillows – which I find quite uncomfortable. The Monkey Yondi worked a treat and fit his small frame well. It also bonds together at the ends from a magnetic clasp right under the chin. I didn’t think he would wear it, so I was surprised he kept it on. Perhaps it had something to do with it being a monkey, too? The Yondi is available in several different colours and characters and retails at £14.99 *

Sleep while they sleep

As much as I wanted to sit and watch the countless movies on offer, I knew I had to try to get some sleep. I am pretty useless at falling asleep on a plane – I can catch a half an hour or so – on and off – but I never feel particularly rested. While Monkey was sleeping, I closed my eyes and tried to rest, and then ended up watching a film anyway because I couldn’t get comfortable. I was pretty exhausted – so the moral of the story is, don’t do what I did, try to get some shut eye…

12 Tips On How To Survive A Long Haul Flight With Young Children
Bring plenty of activities to keep them occupied

Monkey isn’t very crafty, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t pack our hand luggage to the rafters with activities for him to do. I made a game out of it and acted like they were presents. He absolutely loved the sticker mosaics. Both of us spent a while trying to complete them. I didn’t even need the colouring or sticker book because it was soon bedtime, which is a good thing because I’ll have some in store for our return leg of the journey!

Load up the iPad

I assumed that British Airways would have plenty of the latest blockbusters for him to watch – but alas, there wasn’t anything he hadn’t already seen. Luckily, our iPad always has some of Monkey’s favourite cartoons and games on, so once the novelty wore off of watching the seat screen, he asked for the iPad. I’d also suggest bringing your own headphones, as you can’t be sure the plane’s set will fit small heads.

12 Tips On How To Survive A Long Haul Flight With Young Children
Pack some extra clothes

During the flight, it can get pretty chilly – best bring some extra layers of clothing just in case the blanket isn’t warm enough.

Use a pull-up…

…If you’re potting training. We still use them for night times and didn’t hesitate to put Monkey in one when he wanted to go to sleep. However, if you’re in the early stages of potty training, don’t worry about deviating from your plan. It will be more stressful for you and your little one if you have to cope with accidents during the flight. It’s only for a few hours after all.

Plump up the seat

Although Monkey is quite slight, he still managed to carry his Travel Snug onto the plane and around the airport with the easily manageable straps. When we first got the Travel Snug, I wasn’t sure exactly how a fleecy cushion seat with blanket would make any difference to the journey, however, I was wrong. Monkey really adored it during the flight. He was super snugly and cocooned and it’s soft material helped in some way to keep him asleep for more than eight hours on our night flight home. The baby even enjoyed sitting on it, too. The Travel Snug is available for children from 15 months to six years, in many different designs, and is priced from £54.99.*

12 Tips On How To Survive A Long Haul Flight With Young Children

Lay down…

Now how does an inflatable cushion help on a long haul flight? Well that’s the genius thing about the Fly Tot, which was designed by two mums who were searching for a way to make plane journeys more relaxing. Once the Fly Tot cushion is inflated it provides a way for a child to lay flat, as it takes up the space in between the seat and the back of the chair in front. It’s also compact and easy to inflate. We carried it in a rucksack, and once airborne, it took about five minutes to inflate with the foot pump. No one batted an eyelid at the squeaky noises, although we did have to get it out again during the flight when it deflated a little. Monkey found it comfortable, and liked his legs elevated. He even lay down for a little sleep. The Fly Tot is priced at £66.*

Since starting my career in the vision industry, all of 1.5 years as of July 10th, I have often heard the term “Necessary Evil” in reference to glasses. I can’t say that I wasn’t of that same mindset myself when I was first prescribed glasses (glasses which I never wore despite commonly occurring headaches and a lot of blur during night driving). And even though I am a newb in this industry, my viewpoint has drastically changed in a very short time from glasses being a “Necessary Evil” to a “Necessity”! What made me radically change my mindset do you ask? The always fabulous Rachel Zoe eloquently put it into words by saying, “Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.”

I think it’s about time that people apply a fashion mogul’s belief to glasses, just as we do to our wardrobes. Here are a few tips that I like to use when selecting a frame:

Let your glasses tell a story about who you are!

Glasses have the unique ability to give insight into your personality before someone even has the pleasure of speaking with you. Are you a tomboy at heart? Why not rock a boyfriend frame? Favorite genre of music punk rock? Why not pick a frame with a nod to leather and spike accents? Do you celebrate Pi every year on March 14th? Let that shine with a bold nerdy frame! Those little quirks that make you who you are, can be perfectly expressed through eyewear.

Have fun with your frames!

Don’t always go with the “safe option” when picking out your frames. Your eyewear doesn’t need to be the standard black or tortoise shell in order to “go with” the various pieces of your wardrobe. You can add a pop of color to any outfit with a fun, funky colored frame. Easily dress up an everyday outfit with a glittery semi-rimless cat eye. The possibilities really are endless.

Play with shapes!

Use the different shapes of frames to highlight or downplay various features. Have a rounded jawline and want to add some structure and angles? Square or rectangular frames give the illusion of angles. Want to narrow the face a bit? Choose a frame with slightly upswept corners. Need to soften an angular face? Go for a frame that is round or oval. Do you have an oval shaped face? You lucky duck! Get away with basically any shape. Just want to rock those heart shaped sunglasses with that beautiful mirror coat? Get down with your bad self!

If eyes are the windows to the soul why not treat them as we would treat a gorgeous view? Put a dazzling frame around them!

Rathgormack students show their pedal power with cycling great Sean Kelly

Cycling legend Sean Kelly helped students at Rathgormack National School get into gear for their school’s new cycling to school intiative.

Cycling legend Sean Kelly helped students at Rathgormack National School get into gear for their school’s new cycling to school intiative.

The former No 1 racing cyclist in the world, who hails from Curraghduff just a few miles from Rathgormack, was the special guest at the launch of the school’s first Cycle on Wednesday (COW) Day.

Pupils, parents, teachers and guests all cycled to school on the day to officially launch the School’s cycling initiative, which is part of An Taisce’s Green-School’s Travel Progamme.

More than 95% of the school’s student cycled on the day and they designed posters to promote the cycling event.

Numerous competitions were also organised in the school.

Senior pupils participated in a cycle led by Seán Kelly to the GAA pitch and were rewarded for their effort with refreshments sponsored by Flahavans.

Cycle safety equipment such as helmets, locks and lights, sponsored by An Taisce will be awarded to pupils.

Barry Meehan of World Wide Cycles bike shop in Clonmel gave a demonstration and workshop on bike maintenance to senior pupils.

Other guests at the launch were Johnny Brunnock of the Sean Kelly Tour Committee and Garda Ronan Slevin of Rathgormack Garda Station.

The overall aim of the Green-Schools Travel Programme is to promote sustainable modes of transport to school, including walking, cycling, car sharing and public transport as an alternative to the private car on the school run.

Since starting the programme in September 2009, Rathgormack NS has carried out surveys to determine the patterns of travel to and from school and has worked hard on its campaign to raise awareness of sustainable travel, through seminars and workshops for pupils.

In promoting sustainable travel to school, Rathgormack NS aims to increase the health and fitness of the school community, improve safety on the journey to school, reduce traffic congestion at the school gates and reduce the school’s carbon footprint.

Yvonne Kelly, An Taisce’s Green-Schools Travel Officer for the region, said the school has shown an overwhelming response to the Green-School’s Travel message with the majority of the school cycling on the school’s action day.

“The huge success of the day is a credit to the pupils, principal, parent volunteers and teachers. The number of pupils, who cycled on the day is a clear statement of the school’s commitment to the programme’.

Rathgormack NS Principal Catherine Power said: “Since we began working on Green-Schools Travel in 2009, we have made significant advances in promoting sustainable travel to school by walking, car pooling and through our park and stride initiative and we are very excited to be launching our new cycling initiative.”

She thanked the School’s Green-Schools Committee for their hard work as well as the whole school community, parents and guests at the launch.

    Joey Gallo hit a game-ending three-run homer and the Texas Rangers won with a four-run ninth inning for the second night in a row, this time beating the Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Friday night.

    Gallo's 12th homer of the season, off A's closer Santiago Casilla (0-1), hit high off the foul pole down the right field line.

    Jonathan Lucroy and Rougned Odor got the ninth started with consecutive singles. Mike Napoli, whose three-run homer ended a 5-2 win over San Diego on Thursday night, then hit a deep sacrifice fly to tie the game.

    Odor was stopped at third when Carlos Gomez doubled into the right-center gap, but they all came home on Gallo's blast that gave the Rangers their fourth consecutive victory to match a season high.

    This is the fourth time in Rangers' history they won consecutive games with walk-off homers.

    Keone Kela (1-1), the fourth Rangers pitcher, went the last two innings.

    Oakland starter Jesse Hahn pitched seven strong innings, limiting the Rangers to one run and four hits and left with the lead.

    Pinch-hitter Mark Canha put Oakland up 2-1 in the seventh when he lined a double over the outstretched glove of 6-foot-5 third baseman Gallo and into the left-field corner. Trevor Plouffe scored from first, sliding into home about the same time that shortstop Elvis Andrus' relay throw arrived and flicked off catcher Lucroy's mitt.

    Canha was hitting for Matt Joyce, whose homer in the fifth had put the A's up 1-0 before Texas got even in the bottom of the inning on Delino DeShields' squeeze bunt that drove in Gomez.

    Gomez led off the Texas fifth with a double, went to third on Hahn's errant attempted pickoff throw, then scored with a great headfirst slide around the sweeping tag attempt by catcher Stephen Vogt while reaching out to touch the plate.

    Rangers starter Andrew Cashner lowered his ERA to 2.43 by allowing only one run over six innings. But the Texas native is still without a win in six starts for the Rangers since signing with them during the offseason.

    Cashner is the first Texas starter to allow three earned runs or less in each of his first six starts in a season without a victory since rookie Tommy Boggs' seven in 1976.

    Athletics: C Josh Phegley, who took a ball off his mask May 3, was reinstated from the 7-day concussion DL. ... RHP Sean Manaea is scheduled to come off the DL on Monday to pitch for the A's at Seattle. He's been out since April 27 because of a strained left shoulder. Manager Bob Melvin said Manaea felt great in his last start during his rehab assignment.

    Athletics: RHP Sonny Gray is 6-0 with a 1.45 ERA in six career road starts in Texas. Gray has eight wins overall against the Rangers since the start of the 2014 season, the most by any pitcher against them in that span.

    Rangers: RHP Nick Martinez is winless in four starts this season, but he is 4-2 with a 2.34 ERA in 50 career innings against Oakland.

Scientists have developed an immune-suppressing drug regimen that, when used in combination with genetically-modified pig organs, has enabled the longest-to-date survival of a heart transplant from a pig to a primate (baboon). Their study, published online in Nature Communications, could lead to expanded use of xenotransplantation.

Read also: Molecular profiling of kidney transplants might catch rejection earlier

One of the major obstacles to successful xenotransplantation is a strong immune system response of the organ recipient, which can lead to organ rejection and failure.  To overcome this problem, researchers have explored a variety of strategies to prevent or minimize rejection, including modifying the organ donor’s genes and developing novel immune-suppressing drugs for the organ recipients.

In the current study, scientists developed a novel immune-suppressing drug regimen that includes a key antibody, called anti-CD40 antibody, that holds promise for resisting attack by the immune system.  The researchers obtained a group of pigs genetically modified to have high immune system tolerance and then transplanted the pig hearts into a group of five baboons. In each case, the pig heart did not replace the baboon heart but was instead connected to the circulatory system of the baboon, while the baboon’s own heart continued to pump blood.

Using the new immune-suppressing drugs, the genetically modified pig hearts survived for up to 945 days (over two and a half years) in the baboons. This milestone shattered previous records of pig-to-primate heart transplant also achieved by this group of researchers over past five years. The novel immune-suppressing drugs were a key to the transplant’s success, the scientists said.

A new study finds that the characteristics of one’s community may be as important as individual factors on the decision to become an organ donor. The study, published in The Milbank Quarterly, shows an association between sociodemographic/social capital measures and organ donor registrations across 4,466 Massachusetts neighborhoods. In order to increase organ donation registrations, the researchser suggest that future health policies adopt a community-level focus.

“We found that community-level sociodemographic and social capital variables explain more than half the variation that we observed in organ donor registrations in Massachusetts,” said first author Keren Ladin, PhD, MSc, an assistant professor and health policy researcher in the department of occupational therapy at Tufts University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. “Neighborhoods that have lower social capital, as measured by high levels of both racial segregation and violent crime, and low socioeconomic status and voting participation, also have lower levels of organ donor registration compared to other Massachusetts neighborhoods.”

Factors that lead to higher organ donation

The factors that appear to have a positive relationship to increased donor registrations include higher income, employment and owner-occupied housing. The findings also suggest that when populations are less isolated and better racially integrated, they exhibit higher rates of altruistic behavior such as organ donor registration.

The authors point out that the study reinforces the importance of tailored messages at the neighborhood level and strategic partnerships with community-based organizations in the effort to increase organ donor designation.

Using 3.3 million geocoded records from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles that were linked to sociodemographic data from the U.S. Census, Ladin and colleagues obtained community-level measures and social capital characteristics including residential segregation, voter registration and participation, residential mobility, violent-death rate and religious characteristics.

The combined data included 4,466 Massachusetts neighborhoods and used geospatial modeling to account for the spill-over of adjacent block groups and multivariate regression analysis to examine the relationship of social capital and community-level characteristics with organ donor registration rates.

“Research has focused on individual-level determinants, without much consideration for contextual factors, such as neighborhood environment and social organizations. A better understanding of these contextual determinants of organ donor registrations, including social capital, may enhance efforts to increase organ donation. The findings may help explain differences in rates of organ donor registration among communities of color and suggest that interventions tailored to communities, rather than individuals, may help to increase organ donation,” said Ladin.

“Like voting or vaccination, organ donor designation is a collective action problem. The community benefits are significant, but individual incentives to participate are low. Social capital increases the probability of collective action by fostering norms of reciprocity and cooperation while increasing the costs of noncompliance,” she continued.

Ladin is also an assistant professor in the department of public health and community medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and director of the lab for Research on Ethics, Aging, and Community Health in the occupational therapy department and community health program at Tufts.

BERLIN (AP) — German authorities say the number of anti-Semitic crimes in the country remains high, with the equivalent of nearly 4 incidents per day in 2017.

Berlin's Tagesspiegel newspaper cites Monday a report prepared for The Left party in parliament showing that, based on preliminary figures, 1,453 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in 2017. Of those, 32 were acts of violence and 160 involved property damage, with 898 classified as "incitement," like hate speech.

That compared with 1,468 incidents in 2016 and 1,366 in 2015.

Jewish groups have expressed concern that the influx of over 1 million migrants since 2015 from primarily Muslim nations could make anti-Semitism a greater problem. The figures show 1,377 of the incidents involved far-right perpetrators, and only 25 were considered "religiously motivated" involving foreign-born or German Muslims.

Kantala. Traditional Handmade Vegan Handbags!

With New Labels Only, I have been everywhere in the world at the comfort of my own office. But Asia has always been a hard market to enter and find the latest product to show to you. With Asia’s humongous size, you’d think finding the latest labels is easy but boy, it’s really hard.

I have had the chance to showcase Klasse 14 and No Monday watches which are from Hong Kong but that’s about it from Asia.

Now I have the opportunity to show you Kantala from Sri Lanka!

Kantala Vegan Handbag and Clutch. New Labels Only.

Kantala was started by Vikum and Nadishan. Both ambitious and wanted to create their own ventures they went out to seek the perfect idea.

Being an avid traveller, Vikum returned from his travel from Egypt inspired by how Egypt’s rich culture and crafts were integrated into contemporary goods and services, thereby creating value for the country and its people.With that in mind, he wanted artisans secure a sustainable livelihood and protect Sri Lanka’s traditional crafts.

He persevered with his findings and belief and was led to a village outside Kandy. There he was amazed by the potential of 300 year old handwoven hana mat had. He knew straight away the search was over.

Vikum Shared his findings with Nadishan and after two years of hard work trialing and finding the perfect handbags and clutch bags, Kantala was founded!

This is another great venture founded through travelling and exploring the world. Remember Patara shoes?

Kantala Blue Clutch. New Labels Only

Kantala Clutch. New Labels Only

How it’s made

The bags are made by traditional artisans of Henavala. This production method has been around for 300 years and legend has it that over 300 years ago two brothers presented a hand-woven wall hanging to the then king of Sri Lanka’s last royal kingdom, Kandy and the king was so impressed with their work he bestowed upon them a royal deed settling them in the village of Henavala.

Today, descendants of the original settlers carry on the hand-woven craft with pride, passion and precision.

All of the products are made out of fibre from Hanna Plants. The Hanna plant yields the core material used to create all of our products and Kantala itself is named after the Sanskrit word for the Hanna plant. The fibre is extracted by hand, dried, dyed and ready to by woven into the hana mats which is then turned into these gorgeous handbags and clutches.

The logo is then engraved in upcycled coconut shells and fastened by fibre material from pineapple leaf rather than leather. Kantala has been approved and verified by PETA Approved Vegan.

Helping to preserve the Last Generation

Mr Dharmadasa, the grand master of Henavala, and his team of weavers are quite possibly the last generation of hana mat weavers in Sri Lanka. After 300 years of producing hena mats, this could be the end of such a wonderful tradition, but Kantala is helping to prolong it and also providing a base for the artisans of Henavala to carrying on showcasing their life long craft and skills while still maintaining a good income.

Matthew Moylan of the Panthers runs with the ball.

'It's Manly or bust': Moylan reportedly wants out

MATT Moylan won't be back for Penrith this weekend and there's every chance he'll be leaving Sydney's west for good at season's end.

The Panthers captain was given time off from the game to deal with personal issues and while he reportedly asked to play in his side's semi-final clash against Brisbane on Friday night, the club overruled him.

Reports have suggested Moylan had a falling out with coach Anthony Griffin and rumours are swirling about whether the NSW representative will be at the club next year, despite having four years left to run on his contract.

Channel Seven rugby league reporter Josh Massoud says Moylan will likely be heading to Manly in 2018 because of his desire to live closer to the beach and his close relationship with former Penrith assistant and now Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett.

"He only wants to go to one place and that is the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles," Massoud told Sky Sports' Big Sports Breakfast.

"That night after he was dropped in Melbourne (for going out drinking and breaking team curfew), Trent Barrett actually picked up the phone and phoned Matt Moylan and gave him some condolences. That's highly unusual for a rival club to do that.

"We spoke last week about Matty Moylan being a keen surfer, wanting to live by the beach. I can tell you eight clubs have shown interest in him, believe it or not the Bulldogs have shown a bit of interest, which is quite laughable (given their salary cup drama).

"It's Manly or bust as I'm hearing and the moves from Manly are under way to clear up space. (Five-eighth) Blake Green is looking at a three-year deal over with the New Zealand Warriors, (backup playmaker) Jackson Hastings has also been put on the market if he wants to find another club for the final year of his contract."

Moylan's manager is adamant his client hasn't asked for a release from Penrith, but Massoud says a move to Sydney's northern beaches is definitely on the cards.

The startup ecosystem is alive and kicking. As brilliant ideas and promising new solutions rise, angel investment opportunities also abound.

Investing is full of risks and others see it as a gamble, but it can bring you amazing benefits. Aside from the fact that it diversifies your portfolio, it allows you to support the ideas you believe in. It gives you the chance to change the world for the better, which, according to many investors, is the most rewarding part.

But looking for a great startup that is worth your time and money can be tricky. What makes a good startup, anyway? How can you make sure that the project is worth it?

angel investment opportunities title image

To help you decide, we list down the signs and important points you must consider before taking the leap.

angel investment opportunities infographic

10 Signs you should invest in a company

1. Awesome Product

A company’s product or service will be the root of success or failure. If it strikes a nerve, it’ll have an opportunity to survive the competitive market. The best way to know if the product is great is to get actual users on it. How do the consumers respond to the product? Is it getting positive feedback? Will they still buy the product two to five years from now?

2. Research and Development (R&D)

Companies should invest in R&D because this assures the cycle of innovation and future market variations. A well-budgeted R&D ensures you that the startup can follow or stay ahead of market trends.

3. Market Opportunities

The larger the market, the higher the chance for the company to grow fast. If the market is only emerging, focus on how big the market is expected to get. If there are existing solutions in the market, assess how the company’s solution is different from the rest.

4. All-star Team

As an investor, you don’t just invest in ideas. You invest in people as well. A company’s team should have complementary skills in sales and marketing. There should be a smooth relationship among them. Remember, if the team crumbles, the whole company can suffer. And don’t forget to observe the founders. They should be passionate, optimistic yet realistic, and have an eye for quality.

5. Concrete Business plan

Half-baked ideas are only loose talk without a solid business model. A good business plan will be the company’s foundation because it will keep the company relevant. Without it, even the fanciest idea is useless. This also concerns their market strategy. The company should be ready to renovate its strategy to survive tough competitions.

6. Industry Knowledge

Founders should know their products inside and out. Strong product knowledge is important in instilling trust within the customer. If the people behind the company know their products by heart, it’ll be easy for them to step up their strategies and improve the quality when needed.

7. Solid Return

Aside from gaining profit, you’re also expected to receive a sense of ownership. As an investor, you are worth more than just your money, you also add value to the business. The company especially its founders must be open to your insights and advice.

8. Credibility

The company and its people should have good reputation and values. Remember that you will work with them for a long time, so their honesty and professionalism is important. Your vision must be at least compatible with them.

9. Investor Fit

Never underestimate the power of investor fit. It’s easier to invest in a company that belongs to the industry you’re interested in. It’s better if you seek for projects that are related to your field. For example, if you own a restaurant and you’re passionate about it, you’ll feel more connection to startups that concern food. Since you can relate, you can be an active part of the company and give the team some guidance when they need it.

10. The X-factor

Chemistry is vital. There should be mutual likeability between you and the team. Ask yourself these questions; if these people call you at two in the morning asking for your help, will you gladly take their call or not? Or can you see yourself having lunch with them for the next five years?
In a nutshell, there are three things you need to do before funding a company.

  • Analyze and audit the company you are targeting to fund.
  • Meet the people behind the company.
  • Study the market and the competition.

It is significant to think thoroughly about the investment’s potential. Yes, there are many angel investment opportunities around, but not all can bring you gold. So, don’t rush and take your time before making the million-dollar decision.

"It felt like I got kicked," Kobe Bryant said.

He wasn't alone. Celebrating their most exhilarating victory of the season, the Lakers felt that kick that reverberated through Southern California on Friday night.

Bryant's brilliant ironman run, which was in full regalia again in the Lakers' 118-116 win over Golden State at Staples Center, ended in a flash when Bryant suffered a "probable torn Achilles' tendon" in his left leg with 3:08 remaining.

"I made a move I've made a million times, and it just popped," Bryant said.

"I can't walk. I tried to just put pressure on my heel, see if I could do it that way, there was just nothing there.

"I was just hoping it wasn't what I knew it was. I was just trying to walk it off and hope the sensation would come back. No such luck. "I had no Achilles' - that's the sensation."

Bryant, 34, will undergo an MRI exam Saturday and if the diagnosis is confirmed, he faces surgery and months of rehabilitation.

By comparison, 34-year-old David Beckham tore his Achilles' in a soccer game on March 14, 2012, and returned to action by Sept. 12 of that year.

That's six months, and Beckham was about a month ahead of the schedule he had prepared for.

It was a stunning blow to a team that is now two games away from qualifying for the playoffs, a spot solidified by their stirring win that included a triple-double from Pau Gasol and 28 points from Dwight Howard.

Now the shocked Lakers must continue to win in their final two games, against San Antonio Sunday and Houston on Wednesday.

"We have to close ranks and hate it," Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I hate it for Kobe. I hate it for us. I hate for L.A., but you have to close ranks. There's no going back now."

The immediate speculation, of course, was that the limitless minutes Bryant was putting in to drive his team toward the postseason could have led to the injury.

"Oh, who knows? Who knows?" Bryant said. "It was all necessary. It's just a freak situation, I guess. We've worked so hard, put ourselves in position where we control our own fate. . . . It's just (terrible) luck."

D'Antoni admitted he would second-guess himself for allowing Bryant to talk the coach into the all-out push, but gave in to the future Hall of Famer's will to win.

"It's my call at the very end," D'Antoni said. ""It is like putting my head against a wall and he just wouldn't budge on it," D'Antoni said. "And there is a part of me that didn't want him to budge either, because he's so important.

"If I had it to do all over again, then maybe. I will second-guess it and look at it, but he is an incredible competitor, and it happened, and we will go forward."

Bryant limped to the locker room with 3:06 left, having returned to the court to take his final two free throws of the season.

Gasol's triple-double trumped Stephen Curry's 47 points and the Lakers remained a game up on Utah in the race for the Western Conference's final playoff spot.

Utah already had a win under its belt, so a loss to Golden State at Staples Center would basically negate the Lakers' first sweep of consecutive games this season. They entered Friday in control of their own destiny and looked like they were ready to hand it right back to the Jazz.

Both Golden State centers were saddled on the bench with five fouls and Howard and Gasol were getting their points as a result, but the Lakers couldn't stop the Warriors even when Curry wasn't scoring from anywhere and everywhere.

It wasn't just defense. The Lakers gave up second-chance buckets when they failed to chase loose balls and simply couldn't capitalize on a night when Howard made 13 of his first 16 free throws. However, Howard had only five rebounds and the Lakers midway through the fourth quarter.

Klay Thompson had 25 points and David Lee 19 for the Warriors.

Bryant had 34 when he left, Howard 28 and Gasol 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

The real drama began in the third quarter when Bryant, who was scoreless in the opening period, drove and took a hard foul from Harrison Barnes. While airborne, Bryant appeared to bang his left knee with center Festus Ezeli's knee and it took a full timeout to recover.

Later in the period, fouled on another drive, Bryant stumbled away after the play clutching his right knee. Then in fourth quarter, he hit the floor grabbing his left ankle after being fouled.

It was another long night of work for Bryant, never leaving the court for a rest until his injury.

The Lakers close the season with a home game Sunday against San Antonio and another home game against Houston on Wednesday.

Curry's onslaught came immediately. He had 12 points before the game was 5 minutes old, then 22 at the end of the first quarter.

Steve Blake was the lucky Laker to guard Curry at the outset, then Metta World Peace checked in and tried to disrupt him.

The Lakers didn't have any real success until they tried switching on screens, with Bryant taking over on Curry. That served to break Curry's rhythm, though he still had 32 at halftime.

Editing matters: Helping your text to shine

On this page

September 5, 2017
Written by: Anne Louise Mahoney , Editors Canada

Canadian style is a bit of this and a bit of that: some British style, some US style, and some Canuck style! So how can you keep it all straight if you’re writing for Canadian readers?

Here’s where an editor can help. Editors are experienced professionals who have learned their skills in training programs or on the job. We can bring consistent spelling and other styles to your text, as well as suggest ways to make sure the text is clear, well organized and engaging for the intended audience. From books to online materials (and everything in between), editors help text to shine.

Many editors refer to Professional Editorial Standards, a valuable guide to the knowledge, skills and practices usually needed for editing English-language materials.

The standards outline the work that needs to be done during the four main stages of editing:

  • structural editing (improving organization and content)
  • stylistic editing (clarifying meaning and refining the language)
  • copy editing (ensuring correctness, accuracy, consistency and completeness)
  • proofreading (correcting errors in text and images when material is in layout or its final format)

Some of the things we check include:

  • the need to Canadianize (adapt a text for Canadian readers)
  • inclusivity (avoidance of insensitive or offensive terms)
  • spelling (is it Canadian?)
  • compounds and hyphens
  • capitalization
  • abbreviations
  • punctuation
  • measurements (metric, imperial, time, geographical and more)
  • citation (using various referencing systems)
  • legal and ethical issues
  • French used in an English text

Editors work on countless subject areas in the corporate, technical, government, not-for-profit, academic, educational and publishing sectors.

Would you like to make your text shine with the help of an editor? The Editors’ Association of Canada (Editors Canada), a not-for-profit organization that promotes professional editing as key in producing effective communication, can definitely help you. For more information, visit Editors Canada.

Nottinghamshire FA Catch You in team October

Catch You In

The 2017-18 season will see the Notts FA more visible than ever, as staff and volunteers get out and about at games up and down the county to see if we can Catch You In.

As part of our drive to create a positive match day environment, to help develop coaches, and to support our young referees, Catch You In will see us meeting as many parents/carers/supporters/coaches/club officials as we can, on the lookout for good stuff, and people involved in our game doing some great things.

We know good stuff happens in our leagues up and down the county, week in week out, with our amazing volunteers giving up their valuable time to provide football for thousands of our young players.

So what is good stuff? Well it’s coaches and spectators showing that they remember that it’s just a game, that it should be fun for all, and that the development of our young players is really important.

Does the coach create a positive environment? Do they deliver a fun and inclusive warm up? Do they smile and engage with their players? Do they rotate the players? Do they show that the development of their players, all of their players, is more important than winning?

When we see it, we’ll note it and promote it on our social media sites, as well as our website using the hashtag #CatchYouIn.

So keep your eyes open for us at your games, as you never know when we will be there. We will be seeking the views of those watching. Finding out what they think of how the game is run, and the things that they think will make it better for everyone.

Our pictures show our team and some of the coaches we caught in during our Catch You In weekends in September, when we were in the Broxtowe area, and our October trip to Gedling.

Keep up to date with where we will be in the remaining months of the season, by keeping an eye on our website news pages and on twitter using the hashtag #CatchYouIn.

If you see us out an about, come and say hello, and carry on delivering the great stuff we know you deliver to your players.

Applications now open to be an official SSE Wildcats Girls' Football Centre

You can inspire girls aged 5-11 to get involved in football.

 The FA and SSE have launched an initiative designed to inspire girls aged between 5-11 to be involved in football. SSE Wildcats Girls Football Centres provide girls with regular opportunities to play football and take part in organised sessions in a fun and engaging environment. 200 centres were established in 2017 and a further 800 will be in place for 2018.

Following the successful pilot of SSE Wildcats Centres across the country during the 2016/17 season, the opportunity to apply to be part of the programme for the 2017/18 is now open – providing even more groups with a chance to grow girls’ football in their local area.

The application window opens on Friday 1st December and closes on Monday 8th January.

Infograph of statistics for SSE Wildcats

Sessions will commence from the week beginning Monday 9 April. A minimum if 16 weekly sessions are expected to be delivered; however as high demand to be part of these sessions is anticipated, we encourage all applicants to plan with an intention of extending these sessions as a continual offering of girls’ football.

Funding and equipment is provided; however applicants who can demonstrate some matching or ‘in-kind’ funding will be prioritised to ensure the investment goes into sustainable football opportunities.

The pilot phase saw grassroots clubs, educational institutes and professional club community trusts involved in the delivery of SSE Wildcats Centres. We welcome applications from groups in all of these categories in addition to those outside these groups – to ensure Wildcats Centres meet all community needs and provide greater opportunities for girls to play football.

Full details of the application process are available by downloading this document.

To get involved please contact Leanne Woodhead by emailing leanne.woodhead@nottinghamshirefa.com or calling 01159837406.

Malawi President rules out lifting maize export ban

President Peter Mutharika has said the government is under pressure to export maize but has put his foot down, saying his administration would neither lift the maize export ban.

Mutharika in Mulanje on Wednesday

Mutharika said this on Wednesday in Mulanje during the launch of Malawi Rural Electrification Program (Marep) phase eight.

“This is my maize. This maize will stay in Malawi, it will not be exported,” he said.

Admarc has over 100000 metric tonnes of maize in its warehouses which it bought after an a survey showed Malawi would be hit hard by food shortage which never happened.

Malawians ignored the Admarc maize after the state grain company hiked the price to K12500 per 50kg bag as opposed to vendors who sold it as low as K8000 per bag.

“I know the people who are giving pressure to government to export the maize but we will not bow down,” he said.

Mutharika  said in 2003 the government of Bakili Muluzi exported maize to Kenya and a year later Malawi was hit hard by food shortages.

Admarc chairman James Masumbu said the organisation has received any applications for maize export.

September 18, 1974, Page 2 The New York Times Archives

SEOUL, South Korea, Wednesday, Sept. 18 — President Park Chung Hee of South Korea shook up his Cabinet today, replacing nine of 20 ministers in an effortto revitalize his ad‐I

The President's spokesman, Kim Seong Jin, announced the new appointmentg this morning and said the purpose was to capitalize on the mood of national. consensus brought about by the death of the President's wife from an assassin's bullet on Aug. 15

President', Park's Government has been sharply criticized at home and abroad for its repression of All Political activity except its,owi. But there was a genuine outpouring of sympathy and support for the President after the loss of his wife.

Four of the new ministers came from universities or the press in an effort to appeal, Government officials said, to the nation's itellectuals. They have generally opposed President Park, and many have accused the President of restricting political rights to maintain himself in power.

The new Justice Minister,’ Hwang San Duk, was president of, Sung Kyung Kwan University, a Confucian school here. The. Minister of Education, Yu Ki Chun, was dean of Chungbuk University, in Chonju, in the southwestern part of Korea.

In addition, the ,newly named Minister of National Unification, Shin.Do Sang, is a member of the National Assembly who was a professor at Yongnam University in Taegu, in ‘southern Korea. The Minister of Culture and Information, Lee Won Kyong, was president of the Hapdong press agency and a leading news executive.

The five other new ministers will be concerned with the nation's economy and economic development. It is in serious trouble due to inflation, deficits in the balance of international payments, and a major slowdown in domestic and foreign investment.

The new Minister for Economic Planning is Nam Duck Woo, who was formerly Finance Minister. He also replaces.Tae Wan Sun as Deputy Premier:, Mr. Nam, according to Government officials, is con sidered a leading economist and is known to bankers abroad.

Replacing Mr. Nam at the Finance Ministry is Kim Yong Whan, a presidential aide who has been handling economic affairs. The new Minister of ‘Transport is Choe Kyong Nok, formerly Ambassador In London, and Chang Sung Tae, member of the National Assembly,’.becomes Minister of Communications,

The new Minister of Con struction is Kim Jae Kyu, formerly. ‐deputy. director. of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency. He replacei Lee Nak Sun, whose wife was recently investigated for.: smuggling gems.

Govepunent officials here said that Mr, Lee's wife had been cleared of the charges, which.have involved the wives of more than 20 prominent persons here. But they said the !appearance of involvement made it necessary for Mr. Lee to resign.

Premier Kim Jong Pil, Foreign Minister Kim Dong Jo. Minister of National Defense Suh Jong Chul, and other members of the Cabinet remain in their posts.

Authoritative Government officials said the shake‐up was intended to give the Government a fresh look and to express determination to move ahead against economic, ,political and social issues while the public was favorably disposed to such action.

The officials alsO said that President Park, when he submits his budget to the National Assembly next, month. would prosed lower taxes for lowincome persons, higher taxes for the wealthy, stricter discipline for civil servants, and measures to make the nation more self‐reliant economically and in national defense.

Magnifying print to make it easier to read for individuals with central vision loss from macular degeneration and other visual disorders can be accomplished with optics using strong reading glasses, magnifiers. Unfortunately both of these techniques require the user to hold the material very close which makes it uncomfortable and fatiguing. Reading at a normal working distance is perhaps one of the most requested activities by the visually impaired. The only optical option available to provide magnification at more normal working distances are telescopes focused for near.

sport-focusSeeing the print requires higher magnification, while being able to track across the line requires a wide field of view. Telescopes can either be focusable or fixed focus for the desired working distance. Of course, the stronger the magnification of the telescope the narrower its field of view will be. Fortunately the field of view of telescopes is like a cone—the further away you are from the material the more you can see at once.

Galilean telescope can provide an ample field of view up to approximately 2x power, while Keplerian telescopes provide wider fields of view when powers above 3x are required.

We suggest these steps to determine whether a telescope will be helpful to your patient for reading

  1. Position a Keplerian telescope in front of their preferred seeing eye with their distance correction in place (if any) with a power that provides ample magnification to achieve 20/40 (6/12) at distance.
  2. Determine the furthest distance that the individual can be from the reading material. Often, it’s convenient to place the material on a reading stand to position it upright—it can be further than arm’s reach as they can lean in to turn the page when necessary. Make certain it’s well illuminated.
  3. Focus the telescope for the working distance determined in step #2.
  4. Determine whether the telescope provides enough magnification for the user to read the text.
    • If they can read it well, try a lower power device to gain a wider field of view.
    • If they cannot read it well, try a higher power device to provide higher magnification.
  5. Determine if the field of view is wide enough for the user to read fluently.
    • If they cannot track fluently, try to increase the working distance (and refocus the telescope).

Some other hints

  • A binocular device may be able to provide a wider field of view, however you need to determine the most promising working distance first so that the binocular telescopes can be aligned and converged for that distance.
  • Determine whether the reading material will be at eye-level or lower down. This will help determine the proper position and angle of the telescope in the carrier lens and frame.
  • No matter how wide the field of view can be achieved, it still will cover only a few inches of print. Users will need to learn to move their head and eyes together to track along the page.

Appeals court makes history with all-women membership

In honor of National Women’s History Month, it is interesting to note that five Ohio appellate courts have female majorities including the Ohio Supreme Court. But only one has an all-female court: the Ninth District Court of Appeals, which serves Lorain, Medina, Summit and Wayne counties.

Judge Jennifer L. Hensal began her term on the Ninth District on Feb. 9 after defeating two-term Judge Clair E. Dickinson, the only male on the court, in the November election. She joined fellow female colleagues Eve V. Belfance, Donna J. Carr, Carla D. Moore, and Beth Whitmore.

It appears this is the first fully-staffed Ohio appeals court to be ruled only by women.

Presiding Judge Moore talked about the significance of the makeup of the bench.

“While it has been said that justice is blind, it is important in fostering public confidence that those who sit on the bench represent the population we serve,” she said. “Not long ago, it was an anomaly to have a woman judge on the Ninth District Court of Appeals. It is now the order of the day. I hope it serves as inspiration to every young woman law student and lawyer.”

About 15 years ago Judge Carr was the only woman serving on the court. Even though that has changed dramatically, she said the judges have always worked well together to decide cases and function as a court through the years.

Administrative Judge Belfance also pointed to the historic moment.

“Who would have thought even a generation ago that an entire Ohio court of appeals would consist of all female judges?” she asked. “It was only one generation ago that women were beginning to enter the legal field, opening the doors for women to become jurists.”

That generation included Judge Belfance’s mother, who was the only woman practicing bankruptcy law in Akron at the time. Law firms wouldn’t hire her, so she shared an office with another woman attorney. Between them they had eight children. After years of mistreatment and patronizing experiences, Mrs. Belfance convinced her office mate to run for domestic relations judge. That’s how retired Judge Judy Nicely became the first female domestic relations judge in Summit County.

Statistics maintained by the Supreme Court’s Office of Attorney Services show that only around a quarter of Ohio’s nearly 700 judges and about 30 percent of the state’s roughly 44,000 active attorneys are women. As a reference point, Ohio’s population is 51.2 percent female, according to the U.S. Census.

In the 210-year history of the Ohio Supreme Court, only 10 of the 156 justices who have served on the court were women, and 4 of those are on the current bench.
