Maybe next time, they'll award the Nobel Peace Prize at the end of a politician's tenure rather than the beginning. There was always something mildly farcical about the Swedish committee recognizing President Obama's lofty rhetoric in advance of real achievements.

It's like awarding the Oscar before the movie's released.

But here's the thing: If Obama can pull off the three-cushion bank shot he's attempting in the Middle East — fighting ISIS extremists to a standstill without committing U.S. ground troops in a futile quest to remake Iraq and Syria in the American image — he'll definitely deserve some kind of prize.

Odds would appear to be against him.

Not that anybody's got a better idea.

Polls show that while strong majorities of Americans support taking the fight to ISIS fanatics, few expect a mighty victory. Only 18 percent in a recent Pew Poll believe that striking the jihadists will decrease the odds of a terrorist attack against the U.S. Thirty-four percent think it's apt to make things worse. The rest don't know. Partisan differences are minimal.

Reality seems to be sinking in. There's never going to be another Middle Eastern "Mission Accomplished" aircraft carrier photo-op. The kind of melodramatic Chicken Little rhetoric favored by hyperventilating cable TV hosts and utopian political fantasists finds few adherents today.

Sen. Lindsey Graham recently got downright panicky on "Fox News Sunday." "This is a war we're fighting! It is not a counter-terrorism operation!" Graham all but shouted. "This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home."

He sounded like somebody in a zombie movie.

Republicans more generally, as political columnist Kevin Drum points out, share mutually contradictory opinions: U.S. ground troops should never have been withdrawn from Iraq in 2011, but they should also never go back.

Georgia GOP Rep. Jack Kingston explains why Congress prefers not to vote on the president's plans: "A lot of people would like to stay on the sideline and say, 'Just bomb the place and tell us about it later.' It's an election year ... We can denounce it if it goes bad, and praise it if it goes well and ask what took him so long."

The good news is that for all its murderous zeal, ISIS may already have overplayed its hand. Writing in the Washington Post, Ramzy Mardini, a fellow at the Atlantic Council's Center for the Middle East, argues that Americans overstate ISIS's danger to U.S. interests. He writes that ISIS is hardly "in a position to topple the next city in its sights. Rather, the borders of its territory have, more or less, reached their outer potential."

Indeed, ISIS's advances on Kurdistan and Baghdad went into reverse as soon as U.S. warplanes showed up. Much of the territory it's seized is vacant desert land of no strategic significance. The terrorists' military success has been due to filling a vacuum created by Iraqi soldiers' unwillingness to fight for a Baghdad regime almost universally seen as a Shiite protection racket, but finally unable even to protect its own territory.

This then, the final legacy of "Operation Iraqi Freedom," launched in 2003 with the enthusiastic support of journalists "embedded" with the troops as if they were off on a Boy Scout Jamboree.

Mardini further argues that ISIS's extreme zeal and ruthlessness make it stupid. "The Islamic State's extreme ideology, spirit of subjugation and acts of barbarism prevent it from becoming a political venue for the masses. It has foolhardily managed to instill fear in everyone."

Filled with fanatical foreigners lacking a "deep connection" with local Sunni tribes, Mardini writes, "the Islamic State's core fighters are certainly devoted and willing to die for the cause, but its potential support across the region ranges from limited to nonexistent."

This all sounds right. However, as President Obama clearly understands, the problem's less military than political. Always was. But having recently argued that an army of "moderates" in a three-sided Syrian civil war was basically a fantasy, the president now finds himself needing to train one.

Another fantasy he's obliged to entertain is of America's Middle Eastern "allies" sending ground troops to fight there. At best, they'll maybe cut off ISIS funding and make it harder for foreign jihadists to enter Syria.

Iran and its client Hezbollah are likelier to join the fight, so long as neither they nor we have to admit it. The U.S. cannot be seen as backing Shiites in a religious war.

"Oh, it's a shame when you have a wan, diffident, professorial president with no foreign policy other than 'don't do stupid things,'" the New York Times reports Obama mockingly telling White House visitors. "I do not make apologies for being careful in these areas, even if it doesn't make for good theater."

However, all politics is partly theater, as Obama surely knows.

And like it or not, Commander-in-Chief is the starring role.

American Airlines Flight Forced to Turn Around and Make Emergency Landing

An American Airlines flight from San Francisco to Dallas was forced to make an emergency landing on Monday when the walls of the passenger cabin started to break apart, exposing the plane’s insulation. Passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 2293 say they heard popping sounds when the plane began to shake violently moments after taking off from San Francisco International Airport. They also reported feeling a change in cabin pressure, something that an American Airlines spokesman would later refute. AA spokesman, Matt Miller, told the Daily Mailthat the plane “did not lose cabin pressure” and that “oxygen masks did not deploy.”

The captain initially told passengers that the flight would continue on to Dallas because the plane’s pressure was stable, but after personally inspecting the crack, he changed his mind and turned the plane around. Passenger James Wilson said the crack in the passenger cabin was in Row 14 and went from the floor to the ceiling. Wilson snapped some photos of the crack and posted them on his Facebook page, telling his friends to “pray for us.”

The Boeing 757 plane landed safely back at SFO and was met on the tarmac by emergency responders. No one on the flight sustained any injuries. The plane was taken out of service so inspectors can take a look at the issue.

What Lil Kim had to say about her Before and After appearance

Lil Kim Before & After
“I miss the old Kim” is a statement that is lingering in the entertainment world especially by the 90s hip-hop lovers and they are not just referring to her catchy hooks and feisty punch lines, but also her appearance. Anyone that has a good vision can assume that she has had a bit of cosmetic work done on her face. However, some could say she’s barely recognizable. It’s rather unclear whether or not she has regrets about her drastic change in appearance, but it does seem to be a rather touchy subject for the Brooklyn rappers. The rapper, whose real name is Kimberly Denise Jones know has an unrecognizable face, that includes what appears to be a lighter skin, fuller cheekbones and a smaller nose. Her new look surfaced after several months reports stated that she had undergo a plastic surgery.
When Kim was asked about the media’s fixation on her face during an interview with Rolling Out, in her replies she stated, no disrespect, no shade, but I’m not going to answer [that] question. Then she went on saying that she thinks that’s kinda corny and she doesn’t know how to answer that. “That’s not a question I would answer,” she continued. “I’m blessed. That’s all I can say and I am who I am.” Lil Kim was more willing to discuss her current thoughts about finding love with a possibility of getting married. She went along by saying if it happens, it happens and she is not going to fight it because at the end of the day she feels as if she can have both.
Do you think people should discontinue talking about Lil Kim’s appearance?

City watchdog criticised for ‘completely’ losing control of RBS report

The Treasury Select Committee could make the report public as early as next week.

The City watchdog has been criticised for “completely” losing control of a report into RBS’s mistreatment of small businesses, with MPs now likely to use special powers to publish it in full next week.

It comes after the confidential report into the bank’s now defunct Global Restructuring Group (GRG) was leaked online and shared openly on social media overnight, just days before the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) was due to hand the report  over to the Treasury Select Committee.

Committee chair and conservative MP Nicky Morgan said: “A version of the report is now in the public domain. The FCA has completely lost control of the publication process.

“If the FCA doesn’t publish or provide the report by Friday, it will have breached an order of the House of Commons and may be found in contempt of Parliament.”

If received on time, the Committee could make the report public as early as next week after its meeting on Tuesday February 20.

“At that meeting, I will be asking members to agree to publish the final, unredacted report under parliamentary privilege as soon as possible,” Mrs Morgan said.

The Committee last week ordered FCA boss Andrew Bailey to release its report into the controversial restructuring arm, only to be told that “legal impediments” – including needing to gain consent from those involved and offer those criticised a chance to respond – made it unlikely that the FCA would be able to publish before the February 16 deadline.

He said the FCA would hand over a copy to Mrs Morgan by February 16, but cautioned MPs against publishing the report themselves using Parliamentary privilege.

“If the committee decides itself to publish the report, it will no doubt want to consider carefully the precedent of publishing a document obtained from the FCA under Parliamentary Privilege where the FCA considers that it is legally constrained from publishing the document itself.”

Mr Bailey faced an hours-long grilling by the influential committee last week, in which the taxpayer-owned bank’s shortcomings were again under the spotlight.

RBS has been dogged by allegations that the GRG intentionally pushed small businesses towards failure in the hope of picking up their assets on the cheap.

Karlheinz Stockhausen at sound mixer, performance by Mantra in Shiraz, Shiraz Arts Festival, September 1972

Aimard / Stefanovich / Stroppa

Karlheinz Stockhausen III

Karlheinz Stockhausen [1928-2007]
for two pianos and ring modulation [1970]

Pierre-Laurent Aimard piano (woodblocks, cymbales antiques)
Tamara Stefanovich piano (woodblocks, cymbales antiques)
Marco Stroppa sound director

A car journey in the American state of New England gave him the idea for “Mantra”. “I was humming to myself,” Stockhausen recounts, “and heard this melody – it all came together very quickly. I had the idea of a musical figure or formula of my own that would be stretched out over a very long period of time. And these notes were the centres around which I would continually represent the same formula in smaller form.” This formula is a pendulum movement on the one hand and on the other a melody whose notes are selected by characteristic movements.

This dual formula is repeated, spread apart, stretched out and compressed. It determines the various timescales of the work: its overall form, its sections and extracts and phrases within these. The micro- and macrocosms of this music are communicated though each other in many ways as in an ideal created work. The formula has an organizing function in the background but its elements also determine events in the foreground. Repetitions and permutations make everything that happens plausible. The ring modulators that are connected to the pianos suggest ethereal distortions and raptures of sound. Ancient cymbals provide ritual signals that indicate the structural form of the evening, divided into thirteen acts.

Stockhausen described the underlying formula not as a theme or a series but as a mantra and made this the title of the entire composition. This full-length work celebrates the disclosure and evolution of his essence which is encapsulated in the underlying formula.

Behind the Details About Barriers to Effective Communication in Health Care

Over the health care center visit you will witness that at some of the circumstances, you might come up with some of the barriers as hurdling the whole process of the effective communication in the healthcare sector. Let's put together some of the major barriers in this regard:
Image result for Health Care
1. The problem of Language: Sometimes making the use of language besides the local language or making the use of sign language can turn out to be one of the biggest problems as for both the service provider and user. Even though I there is a translator, still there do come about with some issues in transferring the message on clear terms.

2. The issue of Health: If any person is not feeling well and he or she is visiting the center alone, then probably they do find some issues to communicate effectively as he is not well. It does show some effects on the service user and so as the colleagues. If the patient has been going through the severe long time sickness treatment, then their ability to communicate would slow down too. If you have been working in the healthcare center as the expert then you need to be aware of the communication scenarios and should also be capable enough to handle it.

3. The condition of Stress: Stress is often considered as one of the main barriers as coming into the way of healthcare communication settings. If a person is under severe stress out, he or she would not be able to listen to the healthcare expert instructions carefully.

Guidelines to Deal with Inappropriate Effective Communication in Healthcare Settings:

In order to bring improvement in the effective communication, it is important much to come up with certain guidelines to improve effective communication in healthcare settings. You should always be rephrased in the simple and different words. This would rather help you to avoid any sort of unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding. You need to stay back focused as well. This is one of the most important guidelines to consider as when preventing away the communication barriers. Make sure you are undergoing the attentive listening without any sort of interruption. Stay respectful in your respond and the view of the listener should not be imposed. In addition one of the most vital communication strategies for providing comfort would be the criteria of empathy.

Above all, there are so many more factors that are involved in influencing the effective communication in healthcare settings over Perio Health Partners. Cultural factors do stand out to play one of the major foundation roles in influencing communication process. Cultural factors are all about beliefs and learned value.

Spanish La Liga Odds - Villarreal vs Real Madrid Preview

Thursday, May 17th, 2018

By Jonathan Willis
BETCRIS La Liga Game of the Week Villarreal vs Real Madrid

Coming into the final weekend of La Liga, there isn’t a ton at stake. The three teams that are set to be relegated have known they are going down for some time. Also, La Liga’s four Champions League spots have been determined as well as its two Europa League slots. All that’s left is pride at this point.

The most enticing match left on the schedule is between Real Madrid and Villarreal. Real Madrid has a chance to finish as high as third with a win and an Atletico loss, while Villarreal can edge Real Betis for fifth place. This will also be Real Madrid’s last match until its Champions League final with Liverpool in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Recent Form

After a tough start to the season, Real Madrid has recovered nicely. The club waved goodbye to any hope of winning La Liga long ago, but they still have a chance to win a trophy this year.

At the Bernabeu, success is measured in Champions League titles. Real Madrid has won three of the last four Champions League crowns and they have won 12 all-time, five more than any other European club. Their form has continually improved over the last few months. Real turned it around in La Liga action and knocked off three domestic champions on their way to the final.

Villarreal is on somewhat of a hot streak too. The Yellow Submarine have won four of their last five, with the lone loss coming to previously unbeaten Barcelona, and they have won three straight games at El Madrigal. They have felt confident about their spot in Europe for quite some time though.

Notable Absences

Neither one of these big clubs has anything to really report on the injury front. Real Madrid welcomed two of their starters back to training this week. Forward Cristiano Ronaldo and right back Dani Carvajal had each been sidelined and both will be available. Ronaldo was dealing with an ankle injury that he picked up two weeks ago in their El Clasico clash with Barcelona, while Carvajal had been sidelined for a month with a tricky hamstring injury.

Villarreal has a full roster to work with too. Bruno Soriano and Ramiro Guerra were injured a few weeks ago, but both players are ready to take the field again according to reports. That will give manager Javier Calleja every option available to his disposal.

Player to Watch

What manager Zinedine Zidane decides to do with Ronaldo will be worth noting. Ronaldo is the most talented player on the pitch, but Zidane may not want to risk him for this tilt. He is just coming back from injury, and he will need his star at full health for their Champions League final.

Ronaldo is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes against Villarreal, if at all. Zidane may give him some run to judge his fitness and let him see some action. However, he won’t risk anything potentially bad happening to his player.

Spanish La Liga Free Picks

In a normal situation, Real Madrid would likely be favored here. Real has looked great over the last two months and they would be looking for revenge after losing to Villarreal at home earlier in the season.

However, this game really doesn’t matter. Real Madrid is just looking to escape this match with Villarreal sans injury, and that gives the home side plenty of value. Take Villarreal on the moneyline and the three way line to win here.

Spanish La Liga Prediction: Villarreal 2, Real Madrid 1

Size: Medium

Weight: 40 - 44 lbs.

Height: 15" - 16"

Life Span: 12 years

Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen

Also know as: Large Vendeen Griffon Basset

Group: Hound

Origin: France (1700s)

Today's Role: Companion Dog, Hunting

History and Facts: This breed originated in the Vendee region of France in the 16th century and is a close relative of the larger Grand Griffon Vendeen. The Grand Basset was bred to accommodate low-lying, thick undergrowth during hunting in the countryside. Another smaller variety, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, first occurred in the same litters as the Grand Basset. Originally used for coursing rabbits, today the breed is still used for hunting and as a companion dog.

Temperament / Behavior
Independent, stubborn and strong-willed, this breed may not be the best fit for a first-time dog owner. However, Grand Bassets are affectionate and have a lower than average tendency to snap or bite. This makes the breed a good companion for children. The breed is also loyal and devoted to its owner, but tends to be reserved with strangers. This breed is highly adaptable to different living environments, and adjusts to city and apartment living well as long as it gets plenty of exercise.

Breed-Related Health Concerns
Epilepsy; ear infections (help prevent by keeping hair inside the ear closely trimmed)

Special Needs
Exercise: The Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen requires frequent exercise due to its hunting nature. Long daily walks are necessary to keep this breed physically fit and mentally alert.

Grooming: The Grand Basset Griffon Vendeen requires regular grooming.

Our schools took part in this event -  a feast of music, song, prayer, sign-language dance and liturgy.

The objective is to give Year 6 an experience of vibrant, dynamic worship. But it is more than a “jamboree” of song, and draws on our understanding and experience of the liturgical tradition and contemporary liturgical music.

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve: 5 Things To Do

Everyone sees and recognises Singapore as a metropolis and it’s a fact we can’t deny. But somewhere in Bukit Timah is Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, and possibly the last bit of rainforest we have. Although many know of its existence, not everyone knows that besides the cheeky monkeys that reside there, there are quite a few things we can do too.

Here are 5 things visitors can look forward to when they visit Bukit Timah Hill.

#1 Learn about the local flora and fauna at the Bukit Timah Hill Visitor Centre

Revamped in 2015, this gallery features displays of native flora and fauna such as the Sunda Pangolin and the once upon a time prevalent in Singapore Sumatran Tiger. There are also interactive touchscreens in the Exhibition Gallery where visitors can learn about the biodiversity within the nature reserve. There’s also an interactive tree spotting display which highlights the species that can be found in the reserve. All this information can come in handy when you start your trail walk!

#2 Climb backwards

Don’t worry, it’s not as difficult as it sounds. The reason why people have to walk backwards to scale this particular stretch is due to it being 180-degree steep. Walking upright will cause anyone to tumble down due to gravity and no one wants to get hurt. It’s quite fun and usually, everyone gets a laugh out of doing the move, even kids!

#3 Check out the caves

Most Singaporeans don’t even know there are caves in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Understandably though as these caves are hidden from the Main Path and the only way to find these caves is by taking the Caves Path accessed from either the South View Hut or Catchment Path. These caves apparently were created by Japanese soldiers during World War II to store their supplies. Nowadays, the caves have grills to ensure people do not enter. If you are keen to explore the caves, do ensure you wear the right shoes and take care along the trail as it can be tricky and moderately difficult.

#4 Seek out a hidden park and playground nearby

Interestingly, there is actually a pretty awesome park and playground just a bit away from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. A short walk away from the Visitor Centre, families can find play equipment such as a trampoline and swings for the kids to have a good time at Hindhede Nature Park. You can even enjoy the view of Hindhede Quarry if you venture in a little further.

#5 Making your way to the top!

Obviously, this is the ultimate goal for most visitors at the Nature Reserve. At just 164 metres high, Bukit Timah Hill may not be a Mount Everest, but it sure can work up a sweat for those attempting it. The trail is not too difficult to scale too. If you need to know though, there are two routes you can take to the top. One is via a set of stairs, the second is to follow the Main Path. While the Main Path is shorter, it can get really steep. Your choice.

Health-Care Cybersecurity Rose to Fever Pitch in 2015

Cybercriminals set their sights on the health-care industry in 2015, when it became the most frequently attacked industry and the industry to face the most severe financial consequences when an organization is attacked, according to a report by IBM.

Five of the eight largest health-care security breaches since 2010 occurred during the first six months of 2015, the IBM 2016 Cyber Security Intelligence report said. The increase in attacks made health-care the most frequently attacked industry in 2015, when over 100 million health-care records were reportedly compromised.

The average cost of a data breach at a health-care organization in the U.S. could cost as much as $398 per stolen record, compared to the average cost across industries of $217 per stolen record, according to a separate report by IBM and Ponemon Institute.

Health-care records are uniquely valuable on the black market since they contain information that can remain valid for decades such as credit card data, email addresses, social security numbers, employment information and medical history.

Inside Job

In 2015, 60 percent of cyberattacks (both intentional and inadvertent) were carried out by those with insider access to an organization’s systems, the report said.

Insider attacks carried out by inadvertent actors decreased from nearly one-half in 2014 to one-third in 2015, which could signal more organizations are implementing security policies and employee education, it said.

Data Breach Expenses

IBM said that detection and escalation costs increased dramatically from $0.42 million in 2014 to $0.61 million in 2015, according to the 2015 Cost of Data Breach Study. Detection and escalation includes forensic and investigative activities, assessments and audit services, crisis team management and communications to executive management and board of directors.

Additional data breach costs include lost business revenue, notification services and remediation, all of which increased in costs in 2015, IBM said.

Cyberattack Preparedness

Considering the volume of cyberattacks, healthcare organizations should take proactive measures outside of compliance requirements to mitigate the effects of a cyberattack.

The IBM report offered four key steps organizations can take to develop a strategic cybersecurity program:

  • Prioritize business objectives and set risk tolerance;
  • Build a proactive security plan based on the current threat landscape;
  • Coordinate and test an incident response plan for the inevitable sophisticated attack; and
  • Promote security awareness through education and policies.

    Captain's Report

    Yamaha EX profile shot
    The EX Limited that we tested represents the top of the lineup for the new EX Series of three WaveRunners from Yamaha.

    Affordability comes in many forms. Sometimes it pretty much means “disposable” and other’s it means a bargain that is hard to resist. With Yamaha’s EX Series, the three models definitely fall into that latter category. In fact during our performance evaluation of the EX Deluxe, we had more fun than on any of the company’s other machines, probably because this one focuses on exactly that… fun. Not speed, not bells and whistles, not seats made out of Panda… just fun, in its purest form.

    Yamaha EX running shot
    Did we mention that the EX Series are fun? They’re also among the most stable we’ve driven.

    There are three models to the EX Series…. The basic EX, the EX Sport and the EX Deluxe, which is obviously the top of the line. All three are built on the same hull and simply add more features in succession to the Deluxe model.

    Price Fixing?

    One thing (of many) that separates Yamaha from the rest of the field is that the company builds watercraft, boats and WaveRunners alike, with stock features and no options are offered… per se. You can get options, but you have to get them in a different model. So as we move through the EX series of WaveRunners the difference between the three is separated only by the amount of “standard” features that each one has. The higher the price, the more features it has, all attached to the same hull with the same dimensions.

    This is how Yamaha controls its pricing. All the machines are cookie cutter versions and there are no up-charges.

    Yamaha EX profile shot
    We performed our inspection on the EX Deluxe, the most feature-rich of the three models.

    Common Features to All

    All Three Models are Made From Fiberglass, Not Plastic. That’s a major feature right there and one that really serves to differentiate the EX models from the competition. The strength of the SMC (sheet molded compound) build alone is worthy of a higher price tag, but here, it’s held down, mostly through the refined build process and the above mentioned fact that all come out the same. And with fiberglass construction these fun models will be in the family for years.

    Fuel Efficient TR-1 Engine. This award-winning 3-cylinder, 4-stroke 1019cc engine is 40-percent smaller, 20-percent lighter and more fuel-efficient than its 4-cylinder M1 predecessor. All while putting out more power.

    Yamaha EX engine
    The fuel efficient TR1 engine is the driving force in the EX Series.

    Because of this, the EX models are shorter, lighter and more affordable than any three-person, 4-stroke WaveRunner that Yamaha has produced in the past. The engine is drawing fuel from a 13.2-gallon (49.97 L) tank, which is a significant increase over competing models in the Rec-Lite category. Best of all… the TR1 engines burns regular low lead gas.

    Yamaha EX pump
    The engines are driving a 3-blade 21.2-degree pitch stainless steel impeller through a 144mm high-pressure pump.

    New Hull Design and Handling. Yamaha came up with a new hull design for the EX series that seems to be more forgiving and predictable in its handling characteristics. During our tests we found precise handling response and a stability that we did not expect. In fact, while evaluating its handling our test captain tried every move he could to get the EX to roll over and dump him in the water but it just wasn’t having any of it. By the time he was done, it was as if the WaveRunner sat there saying, “what else you got?” No matter what we did, the EX remained predictable, precise and fun. Did we mention fun?

    Yamaha EX running
    No matter what we did we just could not get the EX Deluxe to dump us into the drink.

    Was it still a wet ride? Of course it was. That’s part and parcel of what these watercraft are about. Getting wet and wild. If you want dry, get a boat. No one ever went to the waterfront restaurant in a suit and fancy dress while riding a personal watercraft. It’s not what these are made for. You wear a bathing suit and a floatation vest.

    Yamaha EX running shot
    Standing or sitting the EX is a comfortable machine to ride. That’s thanks to its stability.

    Storage capacity is 7.7-gallons (29.15 L) in three separate compartments. The largest compartment is under the forward visor. It releases with a pair of rubber straps that hook onto a pair of back knobs.

    Yamaha EX storage compartment
    The front storage compartment is the largest of the three available.

    The second, and most convenient, storage is just ahead of the driver and behind the handlebars. This is where the quick grab items go such as the drinks. Put the cellphone in a dry bag if it goes in here, or anywhere for that matter. None of these compartments are watertight.

    Yamaha EX glove box
    Ahead of the driver is “glove” storage for quick-grab items.

    The third storage is under the seat in two removable containers just above the engine. One of these, the forward one, holds the fire extinguisher.

    Yamaha EX engine
    Storage under the seat is removable to access the TR-1 engine underneath.

    True three-person capacity. This is a big feature and one that is optional on competing watercraft. Both the seat, and the EX models are large enough to hold three persons. Now that takes more than space, it takes floatation and stability as well. Sometimes adding a third person means adding an optional set of features, such as the bigger seat and larger rear deck for added floatation. At Yamaha, these models hold three people right out of the box.

    Yamaha EX three riders
    The EX models are all rated for three riders thanks to the longer seat and hull.

    A tow hook is included so that the EX models can all be used for watersports. This is a big feature since all three models carry three people so we can still tow while having a legally required observer onboard.

    Yamaha EX tow hook
    A tow hook is included in all three of the EX models making them easily adaptable to watersports towing.
    Yamaha EX deck mats
    Non-skid deck mats and automatic bilge pumps round out the common features shares by all the EX versions.

    EX Sport Added Features

    Mechanical Reverse. This is a convenience feature that increases the functionality of the EX Sport well above the base EX and it makes docking and maneuvering much easier. A reverse lever is alongside the body of the WaveRunner, to the right. This means that we have to take our hand off the throttle to engage the reverse mechanism. This pull-lever is cable connected to a reverse bucket that drops down behind the jet exhaust to redirect the thrust forward, thereby backing the WaveRunner. Steering is reversed in this mode so to steer correctly, we continue to steer the bow, not the stern.

    Dual Mirrors. The EX Sport also offers dual mirrors which go a long way towards not only keeping us safer, it also helps when towing a tube. For the safety factor, it’s nice to be able to see a boat about to overtake the EX (as if), and for towing, remember that mirrors do not take the place of the legally required observer, it just enhances the driver’s orientation to his/her surroundings.

    Yamaha EX mirrors
    Dual mirrors are an important safety addition to the EX Sport and Deluxe models.

    Reboarding Step. This makes it much easier to re-board the EX Sport. A flip down step to the starboard side of the aft platform provides a stepping point for coming aboard rather than having to climb aboard the platform from a floating position.

    Yamaha EX step
    A flip-down reboarding step eliminates the problem of having to climb onto the back deck for reboarding.

    All of these features will add an extra $1,000 over the cost of the base EX model bringing the total MSRP to $7,599.

    EX Deluxe Added Features

    In addition to all of the added features of the EX sport, the EX deluxe also adds the following.

    Yamaha EX seat
    Two-tone cut and sew seat. This may not seem like much but it does add a significant amount of class to the EX Deluxe.
    Yamaha EX metallic paint
    Metallic Paint Colors may be another feature that doesn’t really improve the ride or comfort but certainly ups the class level another notch.

    This is probably the most significant features of the EX Deluxe that makes it worth so much consideration. RiDE used to stand for Reverse with Intelligent Deceleration Electronics, but it has now evolved to much more than that, but the name stuck. It provides the following features…

    The RiDE Technology in the EX Deluxe is controlled from the left trigger of the handlebars.

    Reversing. The throttle is still on the right side, and probably always will be. Now, however, we add a trigger to the left side of the handlebar for the RiDE technology. Squeeze it and the EX Deluxe shifts (actually the reverse bucket drops down, there’s no shifting in jet watercraft) into reverse. Now we can maneuver around the dock and even back off of the trailer or beach. As with the mechanical steering we discussed on the EX Sport model above, steering is reversed so when backing, we steer the bow, not the stern. So we have reverse with a trigger now… but as the saying goes… wait, there’s more.

    Neutral. Just a quick squeeze of the left trigger drops the EX Deluxe into neutral. This is pretty intuitive. If we think of pulling the trigger back to back down the EX Deluxe, it’s just as easy to think of pulling the trigger back briefly as a means of stopping the forward motion, but not causing reverse motion. Try it once and it clicks forever. Now again, there’s no shifting of gears going on here, the reverse bucket simply is dropping down just enough to deflect the thrust that is always coming out when the engine is running, down instead of forward or back. That keeps us from moving but turning the wheel will still cause us to pivot, rather than turn. Pretty neat.

    Braking. When cruising at speed, squeeze the left trigger and intelligent braking kicks in. We say intelligent because imagine cruising at full speed (51.1 mph/ 82.24 KPH) and hitting reverse. What would likely happen is the driver, and passengers would be launched over the handlebars, as both the reverse thrust and plunging bow would contribute to the resulting deceleration trauma.

    Instead, when squeezing the RiDE trigger at full (or any) speed, the engine slows (regardless of how much we’re holding the throttle trigger) while simultaneously dropping the reverse bucket. Now we can stop the EX Deluxe in the shortest distance possible while still remaining onboard and in full control. We tried it over and over again and it worked flawlessly. Keep squeezing and the braking reverts to reversing.

    Yamaha EX running shot
    With RiDE Technology the EX can be stopped in the shortest distance possible with no loss of control.

    All of these added features will add $1000 to the price of the EX Sport and $2,000 to the price of the base EX bringing the total MSRP to $8599. In our opinion, a bargain.

    Yamaha EX running shot
    The EX models beg to be ridden and ridden hard.

    With the TR-1 powering the EX models, Yamaha reports a top speed of 51.1 mph and a best cruise of 29 mph with a 3.2 gph fuel burn.

    Yamaha EX performance data

    There’s certainly a lot to like with the EX models. Depending on what features you’d like, the important ones are readily available in one of the models. For more advanced features, there are more advanced models in the lineup but that brings them out of the scope of the affordable EX series and we delve into the FX lineup. Either way, there’s no denying that these are among the most fun machines we’ve tested and the safest as well. Pricing and stability seem to be the two hallmark takeaways from our performance evaluation and inspection.

Industry solutions

Our largest HELICOIL® thread inserts ever convinced Europipe technically and economically with decreased costs by extending the life of their tools.

Extended life expectancy

An avoidable cost factor: rapid thread wear.

The production of large-diameter pipes leads to a huge strain on the thread of the expanders’ tension rods. With HELICOIL® thread inserts, the service life of the tool could be elongated.

Initial situation

High degree of wear

During the production of large-diameter pipes, dual-head expanders are used for the last forming process.
By means of this expander, the welded pipes are gradually enlarged in order to achieve the accuracy grade and the required geometrical data. Based on the pipe features such as diameter, wall thickness and steel grade, the expansion rate may vary between 0.8 % and 1.5 %. The permanent strain of up to 1,500 tons tensile load caused the thread wear at the expander's drawbar. The resulting costs called for a lasting improvement.

Customer profile

Mülheim an der Ruhr / Germany

HELICOIL® thread insert

Heavy loads call for excellent answers. Together with EUROPIPE, an ideal solution has been developed. Here, a HELICOIL® thread insert is screwed into the tension rod nut for effecting an improved dispersal of the preload force during the mechanical expansion. An increased fatigue strength of the thread guarantees a significantly longer service life of the mechanical expander.

  • Fatigue strength without HELICOIL® 600 to 950 t
  • Fatigue strength with HELICOIL® 750 to 1200 t

For EUROPIPE, we have produced our largest HELICOIL® thread inserts of all time, measuring
204 x 16 x 282 mm, 260 x 20 x 330 mm and 320 x 25 x 420 mm.

Extended life expectancy of the tools

We work closely with our customers to develop tailor-made solutions. In this case as well.
HELICOIL® inserts create wear-resistant and high-precision threads. With HELICOIL® thread inserts, the service life of the tool could be elongated.

Bohemian Wedding: Chelsie and Matt at Fitzroy Gardens

Bliss. Eternal gratitude for Elle and her team. Elle has a loving, warm and bubbly manner and is able to hustle a crowd to organise shots. She captured the light, energy and love of our wedding day. Elle will forever have a special place in our hearts. Thank you Elle.
— Mr & Mrs Spence

When the gods above bless you with love, light and bliss known as sunlight. This is exactly what happened when Chelsie and Matt tied the knot. The couple chose to have a small intimate ceremony with the presence of only very close friends at the Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne. The importance of having a garden ceremony meant that whilst making their vows, everyone was immersed in the green. The colour green is associated with growth, harmony, renewal, nature and energy.

From the initial consultation, Chelsie and Matt advised that it was really important to them that everyone connected with the earth during the ceremony, including us. The purpose of earthing is to connect with the ground. When your bare feet or skin comes in contact with the earth, electrons are taken into the body. These electron's are referred to as natures biggest antioxidants and help neutralise damaging excess free radicals that can lead to inflammation and disease in the body.

No complaints on our end, any excuse to be one with the earth suits us just fine.

Here is a snapshot of the day.

Is Fighting Good For Your Relationship?

A heated discussion with your man can never be fun but it is bound to transpire. Most women who are in a serious relationship with their boyfriend would have experienced a major conflict even if it is just six months into the relationship.

And when there are disputes you start to worry about that loving bond you have endeavoured to create in your relationship which will in one way or another begin to erode.

How Does Fighting Help You Love More

Some couples do assume that a conflict can crumble a relationship and so they prefer to avoid it.

Michael Batshaw, who has authored '51 Things You Should Know Before Getting Engaged' says that engaging in a conflict isn't going to end the relationship but it is all about avoiding the conflict.

So does a fight help you to love more? According to psychologist Xavier Amander, author of 'I'm Right, You're Wrong, Now what?', fighting is an essential ingredient needed for building confidence and intimacy.

It may sound buckled, but disagreements can provide an opportunity for couples to grow closer if they are dealt with constructively rather than turning into huge blowouts.

So how would you know that conflicts don't ruin your prized relationship but instead these can help you grow more?

Let's find out if fighting in a relationship can help you to love more.

Get Your Negative Thoughts Out

One of the things you need to understand is that it is okay to fight in relationships as it clears the air between the couple. Something might be bothering you for quite some time and you are looking for ways to get the feeling and the thoughts out. In such cases, you must try to get your negative thoughts out.

When you try to bottle things up, it tends to eat you and over the long run, it can even make you passive aggressive towards your guy. Moreover, this can never be a good idea if you are in a serious relationship. So sometimes, fighting in a relationship can help you to love more. However, fighting can become a problem if it happens more and more at irregular intervals.

Solve The Problem

Most of the time, your partner is not intentionally trying to put you down or hurt you during an argument. Understand that getting hurt happens to be a spin-off of that action. So, will a fight help you to love more? Everyone wants some excitement and drama in their life. Without a fight, there would be no flavour in a relationship.

It is always better to stir the pot, add some superfluous heat and spice so that it becomes hot enough to enjoy. So, arguments can spice things up in your boring relationship. Remember, arguing can be unpleasant. Keep in mind that your objective is to solve the problem rather than to see who wins the clash.

If Emotions Go Overboard, Take A Break

Again, it is highly crucial to stay calm while you are addressing the conflict. Yet, realistically you also need to understand that someone would definitely become upset, frustrated, or irritated when you are talking about the conflict. So, if you find yourself getting more emotional, take a break to placate and calm down. In addition, this way you can save and improve your relationship.

Side-to-side Conversations

"5 Simple Steps To Take Your Marriage From Good To Great" has revealed that men are much more likely to be able to communicate effectively and clearly when discussing a tricky topic such as when they are doing an activity like walking or hiking. Besides, it is always better to have a side-to-side conversation as it is a good way to control the heat of the moment.

So, how does fighting help you love more? Having precincts about what is acceptable behaviour with no yelling or no cursing and screaming can recover a bad fight in your relationship and help you to love more. Instead of seeing disagreements as a peril in your relationship, try to see it as an opportunity and indication of growth for building a stronger bond.

Share You Feelings

A conflict is the best way to get your feelings across to your partner. So, try to work on your listening skills. One of the benefits of fighting in a relationship is that it is better to communicate and share your feelings with each other than keeping it to yourself. Consider the frame of mind of your partner instead of bombarding him or her with your verbal or taunting remarks. Try to assess his mood before going ahead.

However, it doesn't mean it works all the time as sometimes your partner does not want to listen to you. This might be because they may not understand how serious you are. Fighting in your relationship can help you to love more if your are fully listening to your partner without building the case in the back of your head on how your partner is always wrong. Sometimes a fight can help you to love more when both are seeking harmony and affection in a relationship.

Thermal spas on Ischia Island
A pearl in the Tyrrhenian Sea, this volcanic island with its hot springs and volcanic mud will surely spoil you.

The port town of Cetara
This characteristic little village is known for its charming little port and its great fishing reputation, mostly bluefish and tuna.

Stunning Scenery and Remarkable Ruins

Wonderful beach resorts, a wealth of history and winding, cliff-hugging roads – these are just a few reasons why Campania is so admired.

Spreading around a bay, the capital Naples is a mix of monumental architecture and narrow streets. Known for pizza and pulsating life night and day, it extends along the coast towards Pozzuoli, site of a Roman amphitheatre and the Phlegrean Fields volcanic area.

The most notorious volcano is of course Vesuvius, whose eruption in 79AD destroyed Pompei and Herculaneum. The ruins of both are an amazing insight into the sophistication of the Romans. Even older are the well-preserved Greek temples at Paestum.

Agropoli sits on a rocky promontory overlooking a beach and harbour, and beautiful Palinuro is at the tip of the Cilento National Park. Other fantastic Campania resorts are on the amazing Amalfi Coast. Ravello, high on a hill, offers stunning coastal views, while Amalfi and Positano cascade down to the sea. Around the peninsula is Sorrento, home to several 5-star Campania hotels, while offshore are the fabulous islands of Capri and Ischia.

Inland Caserta has an impressive Royal Palace with huge gardens, and Avellino nestles in a valley between the port of Salerno and Benevento, site of yet more Roman remains. See Booking.com for an excellent range of apartments, B&Bs and hotels in Campania.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will it cost?

There is no "Set cost", to be able to mould your rubber product, a mould tool will have to be manufactured. This can be done as a one off cost so then you get the items off the tool at item price or the cost of the rubber tool can be divided over the first production run. For example Cost of Tool / 100 items.

What are Cavities?

Cavities are the number on impressions in the rubber mould tool. Each cavity will manufacture one item.

Is there any return on tooling?

The more information you have about the future of the product the better the return. If you know the item will run in the future, investment in a multi-cavity tooling will pay for its self very much quicker the single cavity tooling. Please feel to talk to use for advise on tool sizing. A single cavity tool will only produce item every cycles (Normally 8 minutes with rubber). A more expensive four cavity tool will manufacture 4 items every 8 minute cycle, so the item run time costing is only 2 minutes per item compared to 8 minutes per item on the single cavity. This with over a 1000 items will pay back very quickly.

Can I change material of a component?

Yes, but be aware that different materials shrink at different rates once they have cooled after manufacture. This will sometimes make items made on the same tool but made in different material different sizes.

Experts Slam UK Minimum Wage Rise as 'Political Manipulation'

Experts Slam UK Minimum Wage Rise as 'Political Manipulation'

While the UK government today announced an increase of 3 percent in the minimum wage, economics experts have claimed the move could indeed hamper job creation and impede UK growth prospects.

Speaking earlier today, Britain’s Business Secretary Vince Cable said that the government approved a rise in the National Minimum Wage to £6.50 per hour, with more than 1 million people set to see their pay rise by as much as £355 a year.

But think-tank experts beg to differ.

Ryan Bourne, of the Institute of Economic Affairs told Breitbart London: “The government cannot just decree what the wage of many low skilled workers should be without consequences for either employment, working hours, non-pay benefits or prices in those industries.

“Its own estimates of the effect of increasing the minimum wage is for a small negative effect on employment. This 3 per cent increase in the minimum wage will especially harm those unskilled workers looking to get a first employment opportunity, which allows them on-the-job learning and experience.

“The one saving grace is that the government ignored those calling for much higher, more damaging increases, which could have proved disastrous at a time of high long-term and youth unemployment”.

Sam Bowman of the Adam Smith Institute wrote in January, “One way to actually help low-income workers would be to raise the income tax and National Insurance threshold to the current minimum wage level, which would give these workers a take-home pay equivalent to a minimum wage. That would require spending cuts or tax rises elsewhere, but it would be a responsible and effective way to improve the lot of the working poor that would carry none of the unemployment risks that this minimum wage increase does – in fact, it would create jobs.”

A paper published in January by the Bow Group, Britain’s oldest Conservative think-tank, warned against a rise in the minimum wage, claiming that “George Osborne and the government are artificially manipulating the economy for political gains in the run up to 2015, to the detriment of its medium to long-term development”.

Bow Group Chairman Ben Harris Quinney told Breitbart London: “It is an inescapable economic reality that Imposing and increasing a national minimum wage restricts small business growth and increases unemployment.

“The government should be looking to Germany and Austria, where the absence of a minimum wage has contributed to the Eurozone’s lowest rates of youth unemployment at 7.9 percent and 8.7 percent respectively.

“We should not be further hamstringing the prospects of our youth or small businesses, but should instead focus on improving the provision of vocational education in the UK and improving the UK’s competitiveness internationally. This is the only way to secure a long term recovery and rebalance the economy, and this goal should be above short-term populism and political manipulation”.
