?30 before 30? #18: drink a 1 litre chocolate milk for breakfast ? little ...

There it stands: 1000 milli-litres of milk, sugar, cocoa, salt, carrageenan (what?s that?), artificial flavour (I don?t like the sounds of that), vitamin A and vitamin D.

the challenge

And here I sit: unsure of my stomach?s ability to hold all that goodness. Mainly, I?m concerned with 24 grams of sugar per cup of the stuff, and I?m going to drink four times that much. I rack my brain for any nutrition-guide knowledge I may have retained over the years, ?How much sugar is within the acceptable limit?? I?m pretty sure that 100 grams of sugar is far too much for one meal, for sure, if not for the day. My consolation is that there are 8 grams of protein for every 24 grams of sugar. ?Surely that balances something out,? I reason as I walk home from the store with my chocolate milk.

The first half litre go down quickly and easily. It has been a couple hours since I?ve been up and I haven?t had anything to eat yet. And I love chocolate milk.

The next cup is surprisingly easy too. I?m somewhat distracted as I?m reading my Bible while having breakfast. But then it gets harder. This is where I got stuck many years ago when I first attempted this?

I was in high school and working at the ROM camp. My friend would routinely come in to work with a one litre carton of chocolate milk that he picked up at the corner store before hopping on the bus down to the museum. I loved chocolate milk even more in those days, but was still shocked by the quantity he was drinking at one time. But he wouldn?t be deterred. In fact, he started telling me that I should try the same. One morning, he came in with two chocolate milks: one for him and one for me. I heartily embraced the challenge. I sipped on the milk throughout the morning attendance taking, which was my job every day. But at the end of that, I needed to join my group, at which point it was not only inappropriate to be having breakfast while being with the kids but food in the galleries is not allowed. Sadly, I had to label my carton and stick the last quarter of my milk into the fridge to drink later in the day.

The difference then was that I had already eaten breakfast. With that in mind, I reasoned that I could successfully conquer a litre of milk this time around. But it happened: I started to feel full. Not wanting to give up, I pressed on, sipping the milk over the course of multiple minutes, admittedly ignoring my stomach?s cues to my brain.

In the end, victory! But also very full?

conquered!

Israeli official: US resisting on Iran ultimatum

JERUSALEM (AP) ? An Israeli official said Monday that Washington's refusal to issue an ultimatum to Iran over its nuclear program brings Tehran closer to producing an atomic bomb.

Israel has been pushing for the international community to give Iran "clear red lines" with regard to the disputed program, which Tehran insists is for peaceful purposes only. An Israeli official reiterated his country's position on Monday night, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

"Without a clear red line Iran will not cease its race toward a nuclear weapon," he said.

Israeli leaders have been hinting at a possible military strike to stop Iran from acquiring an atomic weapon. The U.S. says sanctions and diplomacy should be given more time.

Israel sees a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, due to its arch foe's frequent calls for Israel's destruction, its missile program and support for violent groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Speaking to reporters in Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said "it is not useful to be ... setting deadlines one way or another" or to outline "red lines" for how far the U.S. can allow Iran's nuclear program to advance.

She repeated that President Barack Obama has stated unequivocally that the United States will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, and that U.S. support for Israel's security is unwavering.

But she said she would not speak about ongoing discussions between the U.S. and Israel, calling such talk "not helpful for the diplomacy."

Kim Kardashian Kompares Televised Wedding to Cancer Diagnosis


Just over a year ago, Kim Kardashian filmed her wedding to Kris Humphries, airing it as part of a four-hour special on E! and raking in millions from the event.

The couple, of course, filed for divorce 72 days later and Kardashian now says she's learned a lot from letting cameras into her personal life in such a manner. You know, just like someone diagnosed with cancer learns how to battle against the odds and appreciate every second of life and...

... wait... what?

Kim Kardashian Cleavage Dress

In a wide-ranging interview with The Guardian, Kardashian refers to this "decision in life" and explains:

"I spoke to a girl today who had cancer and we were talking about how this is such a hard thing for her, but it taught her a big lesson on who her friends are and so much about life. She's 18. And I was like, that's how I feel."

Incredibly, this insensitive, myopic, utterly ridiculous comment might not be the most non-sensical thing Kim utters in the article. Consider:

She's bigger than Lucille Ball! "When I hear people say [what are you famous for?], I want to say, what are you talking about? I have a hit TV show. We've shot more episodes than I Love Lucy! We've been on the air longer than The Andy Griffith Show! I mean, these are iconic shows, so it blows my mind when people say that."

She's earned the success of her TV show! "If everyone could do [be on a reality TV show], everyone would. It doesn't make sense to me."

She's talented because she's famous! "What is my talent? Well, a bear can juggle and stand on a ball and he's talented, but he's not famous. Do you know what I mean?"

She'd get married on TV all over again! "You never say never. Because who knows? So many other people I know have gotten married on TV and it has worked out amazing for them."

It's nice to see this new and improved Kardashian has learned that life lesson, isn't it?

Man Wielding Scissors Apprehended Outside Miley Cyrus' Home ...

Fans (or stalkers in this case) can be very scary! A 40-year-old man claiming to be married to Miley Cyrus has been arrested at her home.

Jason Luis Rivera, who claims to have been friends with the 19-year-old singer for five years, climbed over a fence at Miley?s gated mansion in Los Angeles, where he turned up with a pair of black and green scissors.

He started banging on the door and then hid in bushes in the garden when police officers arrived at the scene. Police soon realized where Rivera was hiding when he started lighting candles and they threatened to taser him if he did not come out with his hands up.

As he was led away by officials, a local TV station heard him telling officers: ?I am friends with Miley Cyrus. I am. She?s my wife. Me and Miley have been friends for five years.??

Rivera ? who had scissors, money, notes and ID in his pockets ? had what seemed to be a tie around his neck, but when officers tugged on it a large pink heart appeared from his chest.

Lieutenant Brian Wendling, of Los Angeles Police, said: ?Rivera thinks they were married. I would say delusional is a good characterization of him.?

According to sources, he ?has a lengthy record in Texas, including a trespassing charge.?

Hopefully Miley Cyrus has blocked her husband on Twitter, especially since she?s been posting some sexy pics of late. Check them out in the gallery.

'Dancing' pro Maks: I 'probably' regret outbursts

Anders Krusberg / The Wendy Williams Show

Wendy and Maks do a little salsa.

By Anna Chan, TODAY

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy just can't get away from questions about his sometimes strong feelings about the show's judges.

When he appeared on the season four premiere of "The Wendy Williams Show" Monday, his host asked him about his notorious knack for calling out Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli on live TV. (And she approves!)

"So you've been very outspoken to the judges, which I've always been a champion of that. You've always told those judges where to stick it!" said Wendy, who was partnered with pro Tony Dovolani in season 12. "Do you ever regret that stuff, Maks?"

"That stuff" she's referring to includes telling Len it was time for the judge to retire after dissing soccer star Hope Solo, and famously declaring that "Dancing" was "my show."

After a bit of a hesitation, the ballroom bad boy admitted, "Probably." He went on to explain that when he thinks about his various past outbursts, "there's a very small, half a second of me going, 'That probably wasn't a good idea.' Then I go, 'Nah. That was fine.' "

Judging from how fans of the show have often sided with Maks' criticism of the panel, he's probably right. (Besides the fact that the drama makes for great TV.) But regardless of whether his rants are appropriate, Williams ? who faced some tough criticism from the judges herself ? has Maks' back.

"They need to clear out the judges and get new ones," she said frankly.

"Dancing With the Stars" returns with an all-stars season that kicks off on Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. on ABC. Maks will once again be paired with actress Kirstie Alley, who also participated in season 12.

Do you agree with Wendy that the show should replace the panel? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page!

Need a recap? Must-see speeches from the DNC

CHARLOTTE, N.C.?The 2012 Democratic National Convention is over, and for those who weren't glued to C-SPAN all week, we've got you covered.

Here are six of the must-see speeches from the convention. The list does not include addresses from candidates or their spouses:

Former President Bill Clinton
Clinton arguably had the best speech of the convention, an address in which he often veered from his prepared remarks and went on for nearly 50 minutes. The former president used his time to offer a point-by-point rebuttal of Republican challenger Mitt Romney?and by all appearances, he had fun doing it.

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro
Castro used his time as Tuesday's keynote speaker to address the middle-class voter, with a focus on President Barack Obama's policies intended to create economic security.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Emanuel Cleaver
A United Methodist pastor by trade, Missouri Rep. Cleaver brought the delegates to their feet?and some even to tears?several times during his passionate speech.

Then, he began marching in place. Definitely a must-watch.

Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm
Your location during Granholm's speech may make a difference in your opinion of her delivery. For those in the convention hall, Granholm's enthusiasm ignited a frenzy in the room. Those watching at home, however, might view it more like Howard Dean's famous "Scream" speech in 2004.

Sandra Fluke
Fluke's speech Wednesday night surprisingly was pushed into the prime-time hour, where she served as an attack dog against Romney.

Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren
Warren is engaged in one of the most high-profile congressional races in the country. The DNC speech was an opportunity to introduce herself to the country, although she may have been overshadowed by Clinton.

Mitt Romney's TV Ad Carpet Bomb

Why are the presidential candidates spending so much time raising so much money? To buy TV ads. In Ad Watch, we review the results of their heroic efforts as they come out. Today: In a very special edition of Ad Watch, we present Mitt Romney's shock-and-awe-ing of eight states with a carpet bomb of 15 news ads Friday.?

RELATED: Romney Finally Has an Obama Gaffe He Can Work With

RELATED: Why Romney's Already Responding to Obama's Jobs Ads

The Ad:?Mitt Romney, "A Better Future: Ohio - Defense"

RELATED: How to Prove Whatever Point You Want About This Week's Job Numbers

The Issues:?National security. Sort of.

RELATED: Obama: Proud to Offer Nothing New

The Message: Footage from the Republican National Convention in Tampa shows Romney saying we're not better off than we were four years ago. Obama's defense cuts "threaten over 20,000 Ohio jobs," the ad says. Romney will reverse these cuts to bring back jobs.

RELATED: The Only Certain Impact of Bad Jobs Numbers Is Fresh Attack Ads

Who'll See It:?The Romney campaign spent $4.5 million to air 15 ads in eight states, including Ohio, the A.P.'s Steve Peoples reports. So while the area it covers is broad, there aren't a ton of ads airing in each state.

Who It's For: Obama gets higher approval ratings on defense than he does on the economy. So the ad tries to weaken his standing on the first issue and take advantage of his vulnerability on the second.

What Everyone Else Thinks: The footage the ad uses from Tampa is about jobs, not national security. That's because Romney didn't talk very much about national security. He didn't mention Afghanistan at all.

The Effect: The only thing memorable about this ad is that it frames national security as an unemployment issue. But it's not very convincing. We have an enormous military for reasons other than keeping Ohioans employed, right? C


The Ad:?Mitt Romney, "A Better Future: Virginia - Energy"

The Issues:?Energy regulations as job killers.

The Message: Again, using footage from the RNC, Romney says we're not better off than when Obama took office, because Obama's "war on coal, gas, and oil is crushing energy and manufacturing jobs."

Who'll See It:?Virginia is the only state where the Romney campaign is airing three different ads over the next several days.

Who It's For: People who cry filling up their gas tank. Which is just about anyone who has to fill up a gas tank.

What Everyone Else Thinks: There's no explanation for how repealing Obama's "excessive regulations" will create 340,000 new jobs in Virginia.

The Effect: The campaign is arguing that every Obama policy can in some way be blamed for the unemployment rate. B


The Ad:?Mitt Romney, "A Better Future: Florida - Home Values."

The Issues:?The fallout from the housing crisis.

The Message: The ad blames Obama for the fact that "home values collapsed." Romney will "provide alternatives to foreclosure" and "end the mortgage lending freeze."

Who'll See It:?Floridian TV viewers.

Who It's For: In June, home prices in 20 cities rose for the first time since 2010. South Florida was hit hard by the housing bubble, but has seen seven straight months of housing price increases. Still, prices are still way below what they were before the housing bubble burst.?

What Everyone Else Thinks: Speakers at the Democratic National Convention attacked Romney for saying last year, "As to what to do for the housing industry specifically, and are there things you can do to encourage housing? One is, don't try and stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom."

The Effect: Again, it's a standard boring political ad, and the "alternatives to foreclosure" is frustratingly vague. But at least it addresses an issue that really affects locals.?B

Tactilize Wants To Make iPad Publishing Easy

Tactilize_iPad_app_iconThe iPad is a great canvas for beautiful apps, but unless you are a pretty competent developer or designer, getting your own content onto the iPad isn't exactly easy. Tactilize wants to make it significantly easier for writers, photographers, videographers and anybody else who produces interesting content to feature - and monetize - their works on the iPad. To do so, the company has developed an easy to use web interface for designing the layout around the content, and an iPad app for displaying it. The service, which describes itself as an "iPad content network," is currently in private beta, but we got a chance to take it for a spin last week. Tactilize will also demo its service in Startup Alley during TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco next week.

Report: Gaming community suffering from shrinkage | VentureBeat

The total number of gamers in the U.S. is shrinking, according to a new report from market research company The NPD Group.

In its Gamer Segmentation 2012: The New Faces of Gamers report, The NPD Group states an estimated 211.5 million people in the U.S. play video games, a 5 percent decline compared to 2011. The amount of people playing mobile and digital games has increased since last year, however, undoubtedly due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and tablets.

Mobile gamers saw a 9 percent increase to 22 percent and are now the largest segment of the gaming community, while digital gamers went up 4 percentage points to 16 percent. All other segments declined, NPD said, including core gamers, family and kid gamers, light PC gamers, and avid PC gamers.

?Given the long lifecycles of the current consoles and the increasing installed base of smartphones and tablets, it?s not surprising to see a slight decline in the core gamer segment,? said NPD Group analyst Anita Frazier.

Frazier added while the number of core gamers has dropped, their revenue contribution continues to outpace all other segments, and is vital to the future of the industry. Core gamers reported spending $65 on physical games in the last three months, according to The NPD Group, while other segments spent an average of $48 in the same time period. They also spent more on microtransactions and other additional game content than other groups. Close to 14 percent of total gamers said they purchased DLC or made microtransactions; about 27 percent of those people were core gamers.

Rugby union Insurance can provide flexible and comprehensive ...

Since the game was first accidentally invented in 1823, rugby has been a favoured sport in Britain, and among many others it still stands as one that is liable to cause an injury. Even though touch rugby has been introduced to lessen the risk, the sport still seems to hold plenty of potential for injury.

It has been said that 'Rugby is a thugs' sport played by gentlemen and football is a gentlemen's sport played by thugs' and when you consider it this certainly does seem to ring true. With this in mind it's fair to say that the sport doesn't come without certain risks and so it can be useful to have insurance against a number of eventualities.

For anyone who participates in a sport regularly, whether it is playing professionally or in your spare time, sporting insurance can be a good idea. Cover can be provided against a wide variety of possible risks. For example many people will take out an insurance policy to make sure that if their sporting equipment becomes lost, stolen, or damaged then they will compensated accordingly. Having to replace sports equipment can be quite expensive so this type of coverage can certainly provide peace of mind. Also some policies will replace older equipment with their newer equivalents - so you can end up better off.


Another popular type of cover is one that compensates anyone who has sustained an injury. Whether it's you or a third party, it is not uncommon for someone to sustain an injury while playing sport and this can sometimes have some quite serious financial implications. For instance, if you sustain an injury that forces you take time off work, you might find that you suffer quite significantly from the loss of earnings which results. If you take out an insurance policy then you will not find yourself in this awkward financial situation. Furthermore, the current compensation culture which has crept over from America makes having a policy to cover you against injury caused to a third party useful, otherwise you could end up paying some hefty sums in compensation.

There are so many different insurers and policies available these days, and with the option of customising policies you will be hard pressed to find a policy that isn't appropriate for you. So whether you need extended coverage, or just a few days when a match is on there will be something which is suitable for your needs.

The whole process of domain registration starts off by creating a appropriate domain name. The initial thing for you to do when you?re planning to register a domain is to come up with a domain name. In getting a domain, you can expect to begin by selecting a fitting domain name. It?s essential to take your time in thinking about the domain name you will use because this is what your visitors will keep in mind to enable you to visit your web site. You must do your best in coming up with a domain name for your company because this is the way your visitors will be able to find your web site. Your domain name should be seen as an asset for your company because this is the primary manner in which visitors are able to find your company on the world wide web. This might be a great time to apply your wits and talents because your domain has to be able to define the true nature of your online company. You will need every ounce of talents you possess to be able to come up with a domain name that?s going to clearly define what your company is centered on. Along with a little inspiration and talents, you should be able to think up a domain name that should capture the true makeup of your online company. You may want to generate a short list of potential domain names that you could use to help you be sure that no less than one of them is available to be registered. Given that only one person or entity can make use of a domain name at one time, you should try and compile various prospective alternatives to ensure that you won?t have any sort of concerns. You will still must look into the availability of your chosen domain name, so it will probably be more advantageous if you have a shortlist of prospective alternatives in place.

There are a number of TLD?s (top-level domains) where you can register your domain name, the most common being the .com TLD, while some like for example .biz, .org, and .net are likewise popular. In registering your domain name, you have the preference to decide on which top-level domain (TLD) you will use like for example .com, .net, .org, and .biz. Throughout the domain registration procedure, you will also decide on which TLD (top-level domain) your website will make use of and the most common varieties comprise of .com, .biz, .org, and .net. firms or entities that are qualified to regulate the booking of domains and therefore you?ll be able to expect to buy domain name from them. To make sure you buy domain name correctly, you should make contact with a domain registrar and they are licensed providers that are in the industry of booking domains. Right after you?ve made the decision that you will buy domain name, the next stage should be to decide on a company that concentrate in the booking of domains, the domain registrar. normally have applications that help you to figure out the vacancy of the domain name you have selected. You might want to go to the website of a domain registrar to know for certain whether the domain name you prefer to utilize is available for registration. The domain registrar can give you complete information regarding the vacancy of the domain name you intend to utilize. Bear in mind that registering a domain is not supposed to grant you possession over it but simply gives you the exclusive privileges to use it. It should be pointed out that you are not getting ownership of a domain by registering it, rather you are simply awarded the privilege to use it. Once you register a domain, this doesn?t mean that you are the owner of it, and what you?re investing in is just for the power to utilize your chosen domain name.

Applying for a domain is not necessarily cost prohibitive ? the fact is, it is possible to buy domain name for only $10 and that is certainly good for one full year. If perhaps you?re concerned about the amount you?ll cough up in order to buy domain name, you?ll be blown away to discover that you could obtain one for only $10 annually. The majority of domain registrars will bill you a baseline amount of $10 to buy domain name of your choice and so you can take advantage of its benefits for twelve months. Immediately after twelve months, it is required that you renew your subscription should you wish to hold on to your privileges to your domain name. Renewal of your subscription is critical following the twelve month timeframe so that you can continue to have the authority to utilize your preferred domain name. Given that you are likely to be making use of your domain for your ecommerce business, it is important to remember to renew your subscription or else it will end up being free for subscription to other individuals. It will therefore be considered a wise decision to put your subscription renewal to automatic to ensure you won?t need to bother about it. You might like to be certain that the renewal of your subscription is placed to automatic so there won?t be any setbacks. To protect yourself from any difficulties, it may be appropriate to choose automatic renewal of your subscription. Whenever you are deciding on a domain registrar, you ought to take your time to pay a visit to their internet site and go through cautiously the services that they present, their stipulations, and company information too. It is crucial that you first check out the track record of the domain registrar you may be dealing with and be sure you are aware what services they are promising, their prices, and company regulations too. Before deciding on a domain registrar to do business with, make sure to research regarding their firm, search for critiques about them, the services they have, plus their terms and policies as well.

Startup Sauna Puts Some Money Where Its Mouth Is, Secures Inventure Backing

Screen Shot 2012-09-06 at 09.52.26Startup Sauna has always been a slightly puzzling thing. It acts ike an accelerator but does not fund startups. It simply offers European (mostly from Nordic countries) and Russian startups coaching sessions and demo trips to Silicon Valley, and takes no equity. That's because it is funded by Finland's Aalto University and the Finnish Funding agency for technology and innovation. However, it has its uses. It's now announced an open term sheet agreement with venture fund Inventure. The fund will now offer seed funding to Startup Sauna?s best teams - so now there is real money involved. Inventure, based in Helsinki and Shanghai, will invest 100,000 Euro in exchange for taking 15 percent equity in each of the top three startups that will complete the Startup Sauna acceleration program. The VC will decide which startup will get the investment, and the final deal will be sealed between the fund and the startup.

Genes associated with primary angle closure glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in Chinese people

ScienceDaily (Sep. 3, 2012) ? Singapore scientists have identified three new genes associated with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), a leading cause of blindness in Chinese people. PACG affects 15 million people worldwide, 80% of whom live in Asia.

The discovery, published Aug. 26 in the journal Nature Genetics, was conducted collaboratively by scientists from the Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI)/Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), National University of Singapore (NUS), National University Hospital's Department of Ophthalmology and Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

The team of scientists led an international consortium that carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 1,854 PACG cases and 9,608 controls of over five sample collections in Asia. They performed validation experiments in another 1,917 PACG cases and 8,943 controls collected from a further six sample collections from around the world. A total of 1,293 Singaporeans with PACG and 8,025 Singaporean controls were enrolled in this study. This work is the first to study PACG genetics using a genome-wide perspective.

This finding confirms the long-standing suspicion of Professor Aung Tin, the lead Principal Investigator of this project, who is Senior Consultant and Head of Glaucoma Service at SNEC, Deputy Executive Director at SERI, and Professor of Ophthalmology at NUS. Prof Aung has worked on PACG for over 10 years and believes from clinical observations that the disease is strongly hereditary.

"This provides further evidence that genetic factors play a role in development of PACG," said Prof Aung. "It is a major achievement for our Singapore team leading the largest international consortium of doctors and scientists involved in glaucoma research. The results may lead to new insights into disease understanding and open the possibility of novel treatments in the future as well as the potential of early identification of people at risk of the disease."

The study showcases one of many exciting scientific collaborations between GIS and SERI, and highlights the importance and significant advantages of inter-disciplinary collaborations between the two institutes under such joint efforts. The study was funded primarily by the Translational Clinical Research (TCR) program grant from the National Research Foundation that was awarded to SERI in 2008, as well as other grants from the National Medical Research Council (NMRC), Biomedical Research Council (BMRC), and funding from GIS.

GIS Acting Executive Director Prof Ng Huck Hui congratulated the team on the success of the project. "This is an exemplary demonstration of the potential power in genomics being used to dissect complex human diseases with hereditable predispositions. The collaboration between SERI and GIS is synergistic in many broad aspects, and it marries core strengths from both institutions."

Prof Wong Tien Yin, Executive Director at SERI and Provost's Chair Professor and Head, Department of Ophthalmology, NUHS, said, "This is a landmark finding, and may potentially change how we view PACG as a disease with genetic links. It highlights how a collective effort from scientists and clinicians and clinician-scientists can unravel diseases of major importance to Singapore. Because this disease is more common in Asians than in the Western populations, such studies will not be done in the US/Europe. This study has to be done in Asia as it is a disease with more implication for Asians. As such, Singapore has led the way forward."

Dr Khor Chiea Chuen, Principal Investigator, Human Genetics, at GIS added, "Modern genomics is a very powerful tool in dissecting the hereditable basis of common human diseases. It gives all of us a ray of hope, however far-fetched it may be, that one day we will be able to tailor treatments based on individual genetic profile."

"The information on genes involved in PACG has also opened up new and exciting research areas for us that we hope will culminate in new treatment modalities for angle closure glaucoma in the future," Said Dr Eranga Vithana, Associate Director, Basic and Experimental Sciences at SERI, and lead author of the paper.

Prof Janey Wiggs, Paul Austin Chandler Assoc. Professor of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School added, "This is a landmark study identifying three genes that contribute to angle-closure glaucoma, a form of glaucoma that is particularly common in Asians. These data are the first critical steps toward a better understanding of the underlying molecular events responsible for this blinding disease."

SERI is the national body for ophthalmic and vision research in Singapore based at SNEC and NUS. The GIS is a research institute under the umbrella of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore.

3 Ways to Be 'Irreplaceable' HR! | ADVISA

In my role at ADVISA, I spend my time almost exclusively with CEOs and Human Resource Directors ? two potentially powerful leadership roles that often determine an organization?s level of success.? An article today on MSN about being an ?irreplaceable? employee prompted me to offer three tips specifically for HR Directors to become even more effective as leadership partners with CEOs:

1. Know what matters to your CEO.

Understanding what s/he considers to prime objectives for the year, and beyond,?can put you in a position to support them.? For example, in a conversation recently with a CEO of a large law firm, he told me that his goal is to grow the firm.? He wants to hire people who will develop new business as well as bring a solution to him when they recognize an issue, not just bring him complaints.?? ?I need to know that they are ?go-getters and problem-solvers?? We can teach them aspects of the business we need them to know.? But, we can?t make them proactive when they?re not,? he said. Being aware of these goals, and acting on them when it comes to talent acquisition, is what will make the difference for his HR department.? (How can HR identify candidates who are more likely to problem-solve and develop business for the CEO?? A behavioral assessment, like Predictive Index?, can provide the data needed.)

2. It?s All About Productivity:? Quantify It!

Measuring productivity or success in a role can appear difficult at first for non-sales positions.? ?Am I doing a good job?? is a question many ask and the answer is often left to subjectivity when it doesn?t have to be.? For example:? if you are responsible for acquiring talent in your organization, track the turnover or the productivity of the candidates you?ve brought into the company.? Are there departments where the turnover is?exceptionally high?? Be proactive in looking into the problem and identifying a solution.? And, tracking data gives you the opportunity to identify what is working well so that you can duplicate it in other areas.? (Do you have a ?turnover problem??? Whether it?s departmental or company-wide, consider talking to ADVISA about how Predictive Index can help you identify the reason AND create a solution.)

3. Be the Expert?AND Be Open to Change

CEOs will often look to HR to help them understand personality assessments and what they can potentially bring to their business in terms of improving talent acquisition; developing management skills and improving communication.? You can?t possibly know everything about every tool available!? But you can become the expert about what?s important to your organization.??Whether it be increasing sales; reducing turnover; improving communication or employee engagement, fully understanding the problem at hand positions HR to seek solutions.? When looking at various solutions, you will know what is a reasonable option for your company and what isn?t.? (If you are not comfortable presenting a new tool or solution, allow the solution provider to be the presenter instead.? Do you have an issue that you need help resolving?? Let?s talk about it!)

Human Resources serves a unique and often unappreciated role in many organizations by being responsible for its lifeblood ? its people.? As an HR professional, you can take your organization to new heights and new levels of profitability.? What company and CEO doesn?t want that?? It?s just a matter of considering what?s important from their perspective, in addition to yours, and taking action.? Sometimes that can be a bit overwhelming.? Where do?you begin?? ADVISA is here to help.

For Maserati owners considering an independent Maserati service and Maserati repair shop, researching the facility is extremely important because not all independent exotic car repair shops are created equal.

The mechanics and technicians at independent Maserati repair and Maserati service shops in Houston have typically undergone specialized training from Maserati so that they can learn about the finer points of the technology in the Maserati Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio, as well as older Maserati models.? For exotic car repairs, even a seemingly simple service job, such as an oil change or brake pad change can be more complicated on exotic cars like a Maserati.? Experienced Maserati repair and Maserati service shops can also help Ferrari owners by identifying common problem areas and problem components and recommending quick fixes and solutions before that particular area or component of the Ferrari actually starts causing issues.

The best exotic car repair shops have received training for the exotic cars the shop is certified to repair.This can includes receiving diagnostic equipment and other tools designed specifically for Maserati repair and Maserati service.? The Maserati certified diagnostic equipment and repair tools help technicians and mechanics identify and repair any issues with a Maserati in for service quicker so that the Maserati owner can have their exotic car back on the road sooner.

Some Maserati owners choose to customize their exotic cars and optimize them for different driving situations and improve their performance.? Some of the best independent Maserati service shops can help any Maserati owner customize their Maserati in many different ways.? Exotic car repair shops can install custom wheels and high performance tires, optimize the power output of the engine, and help install other custom hardware to improve the performance of the Maserati.

Steves Duke likely to dominate the Hewlett Packard Financial - Bettor

Steves Duke likely to dominate the Hewlett Packard Financial Services A1 525

Steves Duke will be looking forward to a strong run in the Hewlett Packard Financial Services A1 525 at Shelbourne Park in Ireland on Wednesday, September 5, 2012. He is new to the sport, but has been performing extremely well since making his debut, which will force the bettors to risk the maximum amount of money on him.

Things will be quite interesting in the Grade A1 event, which is scheduled to start at 21:40 GMT, as there are some quality runners lined up for action in it. The spectators will be expecting an exciting competition, as all the greyhounds are young and energetic.

However, speed will not be enough to win the ?400 contest and the participants will have to display a very good stamina towards the end of the 525 yard flat race.

Although, all of the contestants are capable of taking the top spot, yet the bookmakers expect a close fight amongst Fahy Impact and Steves Duke. Both have been given equally good odds, but the latter of the two has done better than his main rival and will be more confident of winning the race.

Fahy Impact has been performing well since he first appeared onto the scene, but he seems to lack consistency. He finished first in his previous outing, thus he should not be nervous at all.

However, Steves Duke will exert a lot of pressure on his main rival and it will be difficult to match him in the end. He debuted in June this year with an appearance in a Grade GR event, but failed to catch the attention of anyone because of his lacklustre performance. He did not have a clear run and finished at the bottom of the table.

Despite that, the Cullen?s trainee displayed a lot of character afterwards and started delivering some excellent results for his team. He finished first in the second race of his career and followed that up with a solid runner up position, which gave him immense confidence.

This was still not enough for the white and black dog to prove his worth and he performed brilliantly in his next couple of races, winning both of them comfortably. A victory today will help him record a hat-trick, which will help him gain the confidence of everyone in the future.

How consumer-electronics makers are faring

Makers and sellers of consumer-electronics devices have been releasing their earnings reports for the latest quarter. Here's a look at selected companies that report unit sales on phones, tablet computers and other devices. Some companies including Samsung Electronics Co. do not release data on unit sales.

? July 19: Microsoft Corp. says it shipped 1.1 million Xbox 360 consoles during the April-June period, down from 1.7 million a year earlier.

Nokia Corp. says sales of smartphones dropped 39 percent from a year ago to 10.2 million in the second quarter. The company blamed "strong momentum" of competing smartphones. All regions showed a decline except North America, where sales of the new Windows-based Lumia line offset declines in traditional Symbian devices. Sales of all cellphones fell 5 percent to 83.7 million.

? July 24: Apple Inc. says it sold 26 million iPhones, 28 percent more than a year ago. It also sold 17 million iPads, an 84 percent increase. But average selling prices for both products were down. Apple sold 4 million Macs, a 2 percent increase, and 6.8 million iPods, a 10 percent decline.

TomTom says it sold 1.7 million personal-navigation devices in North America, down from 2.1 million a year ago. In Europe, it sold 2.4 million, down from 2.8 million. TomTom says market share was relatively flat at 45 percent in Europe, but down to 19 percent from 23 percent in North America because of a GPS chip product issue.

AT&T Inc. says it activated 5.1 million smartphones in its latest quarter, down from 5.5 million in the same period a year ago. Much of the decline came because AT&T subscribers are holding on to their phones longer.

? July 25: Nintendo Co. says it sold 710,000 Wii units in the April-June quarter, down from 1.56 million a year ago. Nintendo is coming out with a successor, the Wii U, this year. It is forecasting 10.5 million units for the full fiscal year, which ends in March 2013. The company, meanwhile, sold 540,000 DS units, down from 1.44 million a year ago, and it sold 1.86 million 3DS units, up from 710,000 a year ago.

? Aug. 1: Garmin Ltd. says it sold 3.9 million GPS navigation and other devices in the second quarter, up 4 percent from a year earlier.

? Aug. 2: Sony Corp. says it sold 2.8 million PlayStation units, down from 3.2 million a year earlier. The figures cover both PlayStation 3 and the older PlayStation 2. Sales of the PlayStation Portable and Vita devices were at 1.4 million, down from 1.8 million a year earlier.
