Cyprus has reserved areas in the eastern Mediterranean for gas drilling operations, Cyprus energy minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis revealed this week.Cypriot authorities have issued a NAVTEX (Navigational Telex) reserving areas within Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone, in international waters. Lakkotrypis said the areas reserved are in offshore blocks 2, 3 and 9. He did not get more specific, although local media identified the areas as one in Block 9 – encompassing a gas field dubbed ‘Onasagoras’ – and the other overlapping Blocks 2 and 3, incorporating the field known as ‘Zenon’.This appeared to confirm earlier reports naming ‘Onasagoras’ as the site of the first well to be drilled by the Italian-Korean consortium ENI-KOGAS, which has concessions on offshore blocks 2, 3 and 9.The consortium is contractually obliged to drill at least four wells.Lakkotrypis said that ENI’s drilling program will span 12 to 18 months, depending on the finds, with each drill lasting about 80 days, at a depth of between 5,000 to 5,500 metres.According to the daily Cyprus Mail the NAVTEX covers two areas for exploration, it is effective for three months and expires on December 3, at which point it will likely be renewed. Given that each drill will run for approximately 80 days, as the minister noted, the NAVTEX is intended to cover drilling operations at more than one site during this time.Lakkotrypis said the fact the drilling rig will be staying offshore of Cyprus for a continuous period of 12 to 18 months gives the gas companies greater flexibility in their drilling program.The drilling platform is currently en route to Cyprus from Mozambique. The rig is owned by Saipem, an Italian oil services group and a subsidiary of ENI. Lakkotrypis declined to comment on expectations of gas finds in the wells earmarked by ENI. But reports have suggested seismic survey results are encouraging.During this second drilling cycle – after Noble Energy’s operations in Block 12 – Cyprus hopes to discover significant quantities of recoverable gas, which would put back on track plans for a land-based facility to liquefy the gas for exports.Lakkotrypis said also he would be travelling to Amman for separate meetings with his Jordanian counterparts, the ministers of tourism, commerce and energy.Without going into detail, he hinted that Jordan may be interested in Cypriot gas in the long term, noting that he discussed this with his Jordanian counterpart during a conference in Malta in July.“The Jordanian minister extended an invitation to initiate this kind of discussion, as both Jordan and Egypt are planning construction of de-liquefaction terminals but also natural gas pipelines.“Therefore all prospects will be discussed during these one-on-one meetings,” said Lakkotrypis, who last month was in Cairo discussing potential energy cooperation with Egypt.The minister downplayed the notion that Cypriot plans to export gas have been derailed following a preliminary agreement signed this week between neighbours Israel and Jordan.A group of Israeli energy companies said last week that they signed a letter of intent to sell natural gas to a Jordanian power company, in a potentially multibillion-dollar deal.The Israeli companies said they would supply 45 billion cubic metres of gas over 15 years from the offshore Leviathan field to Jordan’s state-owned National Electric Power Co.The Israel-Jordan deal does not adversely impact Cyprus’ plans, Lakkotrypis insisted, since it was already known that the first development stage of Israel’s Leviathan gas field involved regional gas sales.* This article was first published in the daily Cyprus Mail.

By JAY REEVES Associated PressBIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama motel that was featured in “The Negro Motorist Green Book” and provided a home for Martin Luther King Jr. during civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s is being transformed into the centerpiece of a new national monument.Long vacant and in disrepair, the 65-year-old A.G. Gaston Motel is being renovated as part of the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument, established by former President Barack Obama in 2017, long before the “Green Book” gained recognition in the Oscar-winning movie of the same name.This April 17, 2019 photo shows a worker exiting the historic A.G. Gaston Motel under renovation in Birmingham, Ala. Once featured in the “The Negro Motorist Green Book,” the long-closed motel provided a home for Martin Luther King Jr. during civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s. It is is being transformed into the centerpiece of a new national civil rights monument. (AP Photo/Jay Reeves)Workers performing the refurbishment, which is part of a $10 million downtown project, are shoring up masonry damaged by decades of weather and removing later additions to the motel.Leaves and trash rustle in halls where doors stayed open for who knows how long; windows and electrical outlets are missing elsewhere.“It’s in terrible shape now, but it’s structurally sound,” said Rogers Hunt, who is overseeing the initial work.Opened by the late Black businessman A.G. Gaston in 1954 in a city that was infamously segregated, the two-story motel provided top-notch accommodations that included nicely furnished rooms, a restaurant and a lounge that was a gathering spot for the Black community.The motel was a haven for African American travelers who used the “Green Book” to find friendly, safe accommodations during the worst days of Jim Crow. Its guests were said to include Aretha Franklin, Duke Ellington and Harry Belafonte.“This was a state of the art hotel whether you were Black or White,” said James Poindexter, 87, who works for Gaston’s construction company and is a superintendent of the current job.The motel eventually closed and was reconfigured into apartments that make the original rooms difficult to envision.The large room where King lived in 1963, when authorities used police dogs and fire hoses against Black demonstrators seeking equal rights, was later subdivided into two rooms, Hunt said. A bomb went off outside the motel after King and others held a news conference about desegregation efforts that year, but the building survived.Hunt said workers will restore the Gaston Motel to the way it looked in its “Green Book” prime, down to trying to find new door frames to match original steel ones that had a distinctive groove down the side.“We have the original plans to go by,” said Hunt. He, like Poindexter, works for A.G. Gaston Construction.For more on the legacy of the Green Book hotels, check out the AP’s “Get Outta Here” podcast.
Even before the trial, though, there had been a steady drumbeat of calls from the right and the left that the problem isn’t in the DOJ’s interpretation of antitrust laws but in the laws themselves. Given the rise of big tech, the thinking goes, the time has come for a revision.For instance, Apple’s market cap alone has nearly doubled over the past two years, and is quickly approaching $1 trillion. That’s nearly four times as much as AT&T and Time Warner would be worth together, based on their current market caps. Some even believe that Apple’s mobile app and content sales could soon dethrone some of the entertainment industry’s most prestigious moneymakers. “As of this year, the App Store alone will overtake global box office revenues,” forecast Apple analyst Horace Dediu earlier in 2018.A recent report by the World Economic Forum on creative disruption notes that Google and Facebook together control more than half of all global mobile ad revenue. “Our concern is the sustainability of the industry,” says the World Economic Forum’s Farid Ben Amor.The real threat may not be pressure on traditional media but on new players trying to enter the market, especially as technologies like artificial intelligence and augmented and virtual reality emerge, he says.Larry Downes, project director at the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy, believes that the government’s case in the trial willfully turn a blind eye to market realities.“If the government loses, I expect dealmaking will ramp up even faster,” he says. “Had the DOJ simply negotiated conditions with AT&T and Time Warner, the state of the law wouldn’t have changed. But [with the government] having gambled, the outcome may be a new antitrust precedent that makes clear vertical mergers continue to be beneficial for consumers, and that the 1950s black-and-white view of media the government argued is, as a matter of law, dead and buried.” Popular on Variety In the six weeks of the AT&T-Time Warner antitrust trial, one theme emerged from the companies’ defense of their merger: We’re getting left in the dust by big tech, and we need to bulk up to better compete.Equally clear was what the Justice Department thought about that rationale: When it comes to antitrust law, we don’t have a whole lot of sympathy.The DOJ refers to the new threat posed by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google as a straw man argument, because it feels the so-called FAANG companies are not necessarily playing in the same competitive markets as traditional media congloms like AT&T and Time Warner.Much attention will be paid to how U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, weighs in on that argument when he announces his decision on June 12. At the very least, the trial highlighted that conglomerates seeking future combinations should take note: If the rationale for a merger centers on the argument that big tech needs bigger rivals, antitrust officials will respond with a degree of scrutiny and even skepticism.Disney is about to launch a subscription streaming service, and it could argue that its combination with many of Fox’s assets will create a much more robust rival to Netflix, not to mention a controlling stake in Hulu. But it also will have to address how the merger will impact more traditional options — like theatrical box office and cable network carriage fees.“It is not going to be enough to just throw spaghetti at a wall, hoping something sticks,” says Ketan Jhaveri, former antitrust attorney for the DOJ’s Telecommunications Task Force and co-CEO of legal tech platform Bodhala. “You have to go deeper than that.” He adds that what will be critical in how Disney and Fox need to argue is how Leon decides and the Justice Department reacts.In its post-trial brief, the Justice Department claims that AT&T and Time Warner “seem to be asking the court to find a new defense to an illegal merger: ‘We are getting killed by new competition in different markets.’” The DOJ notes that rarely has that “failing firm” defense been accepted by courts.Jhaveri says the failing firm argument isn’t all that new. During the 1990s, he says, rival companies used it as Microsoft gained strength.Hal Singer, economist and adjunct professor at Georgetown University, sums up the implications for the media business if the court adopts the DOJ’s view.“Had the DOJ negotiated conditions, the state of the law wouldn’t have changed. But [with the government] having gambled, the outcome may be a new antitrust precedent.”Larry Downes, Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy“The only efficiencies that are recognized [would be] those that could counteract a price effect in the relevant market,” he says. In the DOJ’s view, that relevant market is the one for pay-TV services, not the Facebook-Google competition for advertising.AT&T and Time Warner believe the government has fallen far short of proving its case even from that standpoint, or in suggesting the idea that consumers will be harmed by their merger. ×Actors Reveal Their Favorite Disney PrincessesSeveral actors, like Daisy Ridley, Awkwafina, Jeff Goldblum and Gina Rodriguez, reveal their favorite Disney princesses.

To mark the occasion of International Yoga Day, events and yoga sessions are organised on June 21 across the world. But Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, unlike others, celebrated the day in an interesting and unconventional style.Well-known Bharatanatyam Guru Swagatha Sen Pillai came with a concept of converging Yoga with Indian traditional classical dance forms. To get the desired results, workshops were planned with veterans of the particular dance forms and the response was overwhelming. Almost for two months, the workshops on weekends were held. Also Read – Add new books to your shelfProgramme Director Supriya Consol and her entire team executed it in a mission mode without hampering their routine official work. The zeal and determination of the team well led by Director Col Rangnekar finally culminated into a show which was, historic and monumental. The objective was not to create dancers but trigger interest amongst the people in a simple and holistic manner; and the results were spellbinding. Eight classical dance forms Chhau, Manipuri, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Odissi, Mohiniattam, Satriya, and Bharatanatyam performed on one stage, that too by enthusiastic dance lovers who never danced on stage in these forms in their entire life was thruly enthralling. It not just created awareness about yoga but also a passion for Indian classical dance forms. Also Read – Over 2 hours screen time daily will make your kids impulsiveThe evening started with event Guru Swagata Sen Pillai addressing the evening. She said, “IGNCA invited me to curate this event that combines Yoga and Bharatanatyam but I felt that instead of just presenting Bharatanatyam let’s take all of the classical dance forms because it might be much more fulfilling experience. And I am proud to see how successfully it has turned out. Making the new generation aware of spiritual peace was an extremely enriching and wonderful experience for me and others.” Later, to officially inaugurate the event, lighting of the lamp was done by Gurus of various dance forms, followed by the felicitation of the keynote speaker Padmashri Dr Shovana Narayan, Curator of the event Guru Swagata Sen Pillai, Guru Rajkumar Singhajit Singhji, Padmashri Guru Jayarama and Banashri Rao, Padmashri Bharati Shivaji, Guru Madhumita Raut, Guru Malti Shyam, Guru Prateeksha Suresh, Guru Rakesh Sai Babu, Pandit Chetan Joshi, Guru Prashant Pai, and Vidhwan K.Venkateshwaran, by the Member Secretary of IGNCA, Dr Sachchidanad Joshi. Padmashri Dr Shovana Narayan speaking on the occasion explained the real essence of Yoga and its correlation with Classical Dance. She said, “Yog and Nritya are not different, dance is the highest form of Yog. When we talk about Yog, first thing that comes into my mind is ‘asan’. Classical dance is connected to Yoga because both needs discipline and dedication. People who learn dance also learn Yoga. This combination is very important to bring mental and physical stability.” Shovana concluded her statement by quoting BKS Iyengar – “The body is my temple and asanas are my prayers”. More than hundred dancers on stage and nearly thousand people watching the two hour show was indeed spectacular.

Radiologists of all levels of expertise benefiting from the one-of-a-kind educational experience provided at the Center will now use Synapse for their PACS-based courses. “Fujifilm is proud to have the occasion to collaborate with the ACR, and we commend them on the successful roll-out of this valuable educational initiative,” said Bob Cooke, Fujifilm’s Vice President and General Manager, Network Business Management. “We recognize the importance of continued education and the installation of our Synapse™ PACS® represents our desire to support the radiology community and provide the best possible training for radiologists and residents alike.” Now in its second year of operation, the ACR Education Center has drawn more than 1000 physicians to its “classroom of the future” since its doors opened in June of 2008. The implementation of Synapse is part of the ACR’s plan to significantly expand the Education Center curriculum. Currently Fujifilm’s Synapse PACS will be used for a total of eight courses, including Body MR, Musculoskeletal MR, and Cardiac MR. The first course using the system took place the weekend of September 25-27; as part of the partnership Fujifilm provides technical and onsite support while courses using Synapse are underway. The data is backed up at the company’s remote facility in Denver, Colorado, and is hosted in a fully virtualized environment providing high availability and rapid conversion to the baseline system at the start of the class. The use of the Synapse PACS offers attendees immediate, real-time feedback as they report their findings on exams from the ACR case engine, and simultaneously allows the Education Center to monitor students’ progress. According to the ACR more than 98 percent of Education Center attendees say they will return for another course, and over 15 percent already have. “The ACR Education Center has truly proven itself to be at the forefront of radiology training,” Cooke said. “Making Synapse PACS a part of the curriculum will enhance the hands-on learning experience and we are very excited to support this cutting-edge educational opportunity.” For more information: www.acr.org and www.fujimed.com FacebookTwitterLinkedInPrint分享 News | PACS | August 09, 2019 Lake Medical Imaging Selects Infinitt for Multi-site RIS/PACS Infinitt North America will be implementing Infinitt RIS (radiology information system)/PACS (picture archiving and… read more News | October 22, 2009 ACR Education Center Implements Fujifilm’s PACS Related Content Technology | Enterprise Imaging | July 05, 2019 Hyland Healthcare Adds ImageNext Imaging Workflow Optimizer to Enterprise Imaging Suite Hyland Healthcare is launching ImageNext, a vendor-neutral imaging workflow optimizer that combines intelligent imaging… read more News | Cardiovascular Ultrasound | July 02, 2019 Konica Minolta Healthcare Partners With DiA Imaging Analysis for AI-based Cardiac Ultrasound Analysis DiA Imaging Analysis has partnered with Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas Inc. to expand analysis capabilities of… read more Technology | Cybersecurity | August 07, 2019 ScImage Introduces PICOM ModalityGuard for Cybersecurity ScImage Inc. is bridging the gap between security and functionality with the introduction of the PICOM ModalityGuard…. read more News | PACS | August 08, 2019 NetDirector Launches Cloud-based PDF to DICOM Conversion Service NetDirector, a cloud-based data exchange and integration platform, has diversified their radiology automation options… read more News | Enterprise Imaging | June 27, 2019 Ambra Health Announces Integration With Box Ambra Health announced an integration with Box to enable the sharing of medical imaging directly from within Box’s… read more News | PACS | June 26, 2019 Mini-PACS Solution for Image Management and Workflow Optimization ImageGrid Mini is a feature-rich, reliable and cost-effective image management and workflow optimization solution, pr read more

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — U.S. officials voiced pessimism Sunday about the prospect of a peace and power-sharing agreement in South Sudan as President Barack Obama prepared to hold talks on the crisis with African leaders.Obama’s meeting in Ethiopia on Monday comes as an Aug. 17 deadline to reach a deal approaches. Senior Obama administration officials said if there’s no agreement, the U.S. and other nations would deepen pressure on South Sudan’s warring factions, possibly through increased sanctions and the pursuit of an arms embargo.

Filming locations from the hit HBO series are to open as tourist attractions in Northern Ireland next year.As Game of Thrones finishes filming after a decade in Northern Ireland, TV network HBO has revealed that it will create a major boost to the show’s legacy by converting several filming locations into tourist attractions in the region. For the first time, fans of the Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series will have the unique opportunity to visit iconic sets from the show and immerse themselves in the world of Westeros. Building on the success of past Game of Thrones live branded experiences, including the Touring Exhibition and Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience, HBO will open up the archives and share them with the series’ loyal fans.Each site will feature not only the breathtaking sets, but will also exhibit displays of costumes, props, weapons, set decorations, art files, models, and other production materials. The visitor experience will be enhanced by state-of-the-art digital content and interactive materials which will showcase some of the digital wizardries the series is known for.“HBO is thrilled to celebrate the work of the Game of Thrones creative team and crew by preserving these locations and inviting fans to visit Northern Ireland and explore Westeros in person,” said Jeff Peters, Vice President, Licensing and Retail, HBO. “We look forward to opening the gates and sharing the excitement of stepping inside these amazing sets with Game of Thrones fans from around the world. The opportunity to celebrate Northern Ireland’s pivotal role in the life and legacy of the show and share its culture, beauty and warmth is also a huge inspiration behind these legacy projects.” Given the unique and impressive nature of the production work in Northern Ireland, HBO is considering including the standing sets for iconic locations such as Winterfell, Castle Black and Kings Landing alongside a formal studio tour of Linen Mill Studios, which will showcase a wide array of subject matter from the series and span all seasons and settings.
