TNW has entrusted the activities of its research and development office to Dr. Pietro Nicotra.
The TNWs R&D office, in collaboration with the University of Catania, leading research institutes such as LEAP scarl in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Milan and technical experts in the carbon capture field, has implemented and activated many research projects to increase its technological proposals in the mining and building sector. The main objective is to ensure to its customers an increasingly competent collaboration aimed at reducing the impact of their processes on CO2 emissions.
As far as decarbonization is concerned, TNW is developing innovative decarbonisation systems associated with the production of Calcium Oxide in quarries and advanced systems for the capture and subsequent valorization of the CO2 emitted from industrial plants (cement factories, oil & gas, power stations, etc.).
Furthermore focusing on digitalization and transport, TNW is developing an innovative project for the industrial production of eDUMPER, fully electrified machines for working in quarries and mines and managed by advanced remote control systems with the dual objective of reducing the impact on the environment and a significant improvement in safety standards for this type of activities.

A man who was punched twice in the face by a police officer after a concert in Abbotsford in November has filed a civil claim, saying he was beaten “senseless” in the incident and his charter rights were breached.
Ryan Atzenberger of Kamloops is suing the City of Abbotsford and the police officer involved, who is referred to as “John Doe Constable #1” in the notice of civil claim.
The lawsuit – which seeks aggravated, special and punitive damages – was filed Dec. 19 in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops.
Atzenberger, a window and door installer, says in the lawsuit that he was leaving The Offspring concert at Abbotsford Centre on Nov. 26 when he was detained by Abbotsford Police officers about “an investigation relating to another individual.”
The court documents state that the officers “threatened to arrest the plaintiff for obstruction if he did not assist them further in locating the other individual.”
“The plaintiff was not able to assist further and APD officers indicated that he was to be arrested for obstruction,” the documents state.
Atzenberger says that during the arrest, officers used “excessive force,” and he was brought to the ground.
He said he was “lying limp” on the ground and was then lifted to his feet by two officers, and his arms were “manipulated” to be placed in handcuffs.
“The plaintiff continued to cooperate and was unable to resist because APD officers had just beaten him senseless,” the documents state.
Atzenberger says he was “jerked in different directions” by the officers, and one of his arms slipped away.
“Upon the plaintiff’s arm coming loose from the John Doe Constable #1’s hand, he immediately, and gratuitously, punched the plaintiff, twice in the face, in full view of a crowd of onlookers,” the civil claim says.
Atzenberger says he again fell to the ground, and he was arrested and taken to the APD holding cell that is commonly referred to as the “drunk tank.”
He says he was not drunk and his several requests to take a breathalyzer were denied.
Atzenberger says he was also never informed of his right to speak to a lawyer nor was he provided an opportunity to speak with one.
The lawsuit says Atzenberger sustained injuries that included a concussion, bruises on his arm, back pain, loss of sleep, emotional upset, aggravation of a degenerative disc disease and post-traumatic stress.
The court documents state that he also suffered loss of income and loss of earning capacity.
Atzenberger asks that the punitive damages be “several orders of magnitude larger than they have been in previous police misconduct cases.”
“The plaintiff asks the court to award punitive damages that will actually make a difference to the actions of the APD in supervising, training and hiring its own officers,” the documents state.
No charges were laid against Atzenberger.
Video filmed by an onlooker was posted on social media after the incident. The Abbotsford Police Department issued a statement on Nov. 28, saying the matter was being investigated by its professional standards branch and that the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner was notified.
That investigation is still underway.
Meanwhile, no response has yet been filed by the defendants nor have the allegations in Atzenberger’s lawsuit been proved in court.

This week, we’re shining a light on some of the more intricate dials of the luxury fake watches UK in our shop’s pre-owned watch collection. Intricate, thanks to the complications reflected in the indications on the dial, but also because of patterns or simple design flourishes. An austere enamel number has its moments, but this isn’t one of them.
The Tappisserie dial is an essential part of the perfect fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak design. Its angular pattern stands up to the Royal Oak’s famous case and tapered bracelet, providing texture and sophistication to a super clone watch that’s rightly regarded as iconic.
AAA replica Audemars Piguet is one of the big three for a reason. There isn’t a complication the company can’t do. So it’s little surprise that calendar watches have become one of the signatures of the Royal Oak over the years. The ne plus ultra of cheap replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Calendar watches is the perpetual, but this simpler version with day, date, and moonphase gets you a lot of the way there without the higher cost associated with the most complex of calendar mechanisms.

Located 5km northwest of the Oahu CBD, Honolulu International Airport is the gateway to Honolulu and Hawaii. One of the United States' busiest airports, Honolulu International Airport services more than 21 million passengers annually and continues to grow. The major hub of Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii's largest airline, the airport offers inter-island flights as well as services to mainland USA and international flights to American Samoa, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Tahiti and Taiwan.
The airport is home to three terminals with a fleet of buses, known as Wiki Wiki buses (Hawaiian for quick), providing transport between the three. The three terminals are divided into commuter, inter-island and main overseas categories. The commuter terminal occupies gates 62 to 80 and services smaller airlines and flights between the Hawaiian islands while the interisland terminal occupies gates 49 to 61 and services mainly interisland and USA mainland flights with a capacity for jet aircraft.
The main overseas terminal occupies gates 6 to 34 and services flights to domestic US destinations and international destinations. All the boarding gates of the main overseas terminal are for common use and are shared amongst all the airlines. Although this means they can change daily depending on the airline's needs, therefore no gates are actually assigned to specific airlines. However there are three separate concourses at the main overseas terminal and these are categorised as the Diamond Head concourse which occupies gates 6 to 11, the Central concourse which occupies gates 12 to 25 and the Ewa concourse which occupies gates 26 to 34.
There is also a range of hotels near Honolulu International Airport ranging from 2.5 to 5 stars including Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, Aulani A Disney Resort & Spa, Halekulani, Hilton Waikoloa Village, Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, Moana Surfrider Westin Resort Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, The Royal Hawaiian, Grand Wailea Resort Hotel and Spa, Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki, The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui and many more.

Another cool feature on the console is the body mass analysis function that displays your basal metabolic rate and body fat percentage. Treadmill reviewers remark that the Lifespan Pro3 is a well-made machine, backed by a solid warranty and excellent customer service.
Since the Lifespan Pro3 has won several Best Buy awards, including one from Treadmill Doctor, it is easy to call this machine one of the best in the under-$2500 class.

(HUTTO, Texas) – Texas State Technical College’s student-operated restaurant at the East Williamson County campus reopens on Thursday, Feb. 16, after a three-year hiatus.
Level 3, which is the name of the restaurant, is located on the third floor of the East Williamson County Higher Education Center and is open to the public by reservation. Culinary Arts students will seat and serve visitors and prepare food.
“This is what they (students) will see in the industry,” said Brian Bohannon, lead instructor in TSTC’s Culinary Arts program.
The menu will be the same each week and include garden and fruit salads, sauteed frenched chicken, fajitas, hamburgers, street tacos, and homemade peach cobbler with ice cream. Patrons may choose one salad, one main entree or light entree, and dessert. Tea and water will be available.
Jazmyne Johnson, a fifth-semester Culinary Arts student from Round Rock, said the restaurant work will give her the experience of taking charge in the kitchen. She said time management and food quality are the biggest things on her mind.
“For me, it is sinking in now,” Johnson said. “We have built up to this level.”
Luis Malagon, a second-semester Culinary Arts student from Bastrop, polished silverware, glasses and plates with his classmates on a recent morning.
Malagon said he has some nerves ahead of the restaurant opening. But he said he is eager to learn more about how a restaurant operates before he goes to work after graduation.
The average price for lunch will be under $15, Bohannon said. All money from the restaurant will go to the Culinary Arts program to support students’ educational needs.
The restaurant will be open from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursdays until April 13, but will not operate the week of March 13 due to spring break. The restaurant will only be open during the spring semester this year due to student scheduling and is expected to reopen in 2024, Bohannon said.
The restaurant opened briefly in spring 2020 but closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To get a registration link to sign up to dine at the restaurant, email firstname.lastname@example.org or email@example.com.

(MARSHALL, Texas) – After graduating from high school, Donovan Suchan followed his father’s advice and explored the possibility of an internship with Komatsu at its Longview facility, where the company manufactures mining equipment. Now a student in Texas State Technical College’s Precision Machining Technology program, Suchan has a partial scholarship from Komatsu and a paid internship there.
“My dad works at Komatsu,” he said. “I didn’t know they had a scholarship program. I found out my Grandpa Don — my dad’s dad — was a machinist, and my dad has his machining degree. I came (to TSTC) and fell in love with machining.”
Steven Williamson, a TSTC Precision Machining Technology instructor at the Marshall campus, estimated that his students are offered internships at Komatsu’s Longview location every three years. He said he was excited when Suchan expressed a desire to work for Komatsu.
“He has really taken the spark of learning machining from not really knowing anything to basically being a top-notch CNC (computer numerical control) student,” Williamson said.
Suchan said working full time while attending TSTC can be challenging, but both experiences have benefited each other.
“It’s been really fun to use all the information I learned from here out at my job, and I’m also learning things out on the job I get to use in here,” Suchan said. “When I graduate, I’ll have had seven months of experience before I’ve officially entered the workforce.”
Tommy Leming, a journey gear machinist at Komatsu, has been training Suchan on gear shapers and serrators, which Suchan said he enjoys. Leming said he hopes that Suchan will continue to work for Komatsu after he graduates from TSTC.
“He listens, takes notes, and he’s willing to learn,” Leming said. “We need younger people to step in and fill those shoes for the people that retire.”
Suchan plans to receive his Associate of Applied Science degree at TSTC’s upcoming commencement ceremony in December.
“I found out life can change in a very short amount of time, so who knows where I’ll end up?” he said.
Precision Machining Technology is available at TSTC’s East Williamson County, Fort Bend County, Harlingen, Marshall, North Texas and Waco campuses. The program offers an Associate of Applied Science degree and two certificates of completion.
Registration for TSTC’s spring semester is underway. For more information, visit tstc.edu.

Visits to recycling centres are still permitted under the current regulations, with social distancing and other measures in place to protect both customers and staff.
As Chair of the Council, Councillor Cathal Mallaghan, explained: “During this current lockdown, recycling centres have been able to remain open which means we can continue to deliver an important service to local people.
“However, we do ask that people only visit the sites if absolutely necessary and, crucially, they must be able to lift their waste from their vehicles into containers themselves, as social distancing measures mean our staff aren’t currently in a position to help them.
“While most people understand, we are aware of some isolated instances of verbal abuse which is not acceptable in any circumstances.”
Chair of the Council’s Environment Committee, Councillor Sean McGuigan, said: “While most people understand that our staff are unable to offer the same level of assistance as they would have prior to the pandemic, some customers have been abusive of late which is unwarranted and unfair to our staff who are bound by the same rules as everyone else in terms of maintaining their space and helping to reduce the spread of the virus.
“I would ask that everyone remains respectful and courteous as we continue to deliver a service in a challenging environment”.

Apple provides repair services through its retail stores and while it has over 250 located across the United States, they’re still not enough to cover this massive country. So the company has been providing repair coverage to customers through third-party partnerships. This includes a partnership with Best Buy for Apple-authorized repairs. It has now been expanded to more than 1,000 Best Buy locations across the country.
With 7,600 new technicians that have been certified by Apple, customers can get authorized repair services at almost 1,000 Best Buy locations across the United States. They’re capable of providing same-day repairs for iPhones and other Apple products.
“We’re always looking at how we can reliably expand our network of trained technicians and we’re excited to partner with every Best Buy store so it’s even easier for our customers to find an authorized repair location near them,” said Apple Care VP Tara Bunch.
This is another vote of confidence for Best Buy from a major electronics retailers. Samsung also offers authorized repairs for its Galaxy smartphones through Best Buy stores. Apple is jumping on the same bandwagon, leveraging the retail giant’s massive footprint across the country to ensure that its customers are confident that the job being done on their device is being performed safely and correctly.

Art + Design: Illustration
Among being an Illustration student at CVPA, Sam’s work comprises of scene and series illustrations, application and web design, and logo design. He picked up digital illustration within the past year, but still loves gouache, watercolor, and a Bic ballpoint pen.
The Images of Inner Peace series began with the idea to depict an experience in a person’s life in which they felt most alive based on the details they shared in response to one question:
What experience brings you inner peace? What is involved as part of that experience?
The illustrations based on the responses given share these personal moments and invite viewers to recall their own experiences of inner peace.
I prefer to be at home during a good thunderstorm...there's something about the rain that makes me feel freer to do what I need to do. On a sunny day, which, I don't hate sunny days, but I feel like there's more expectation for things to be done, like, I'd feel bad if I had a less productive day on a sunny day. But during a rainy day for some reason that expectation goes away, which is comforting. There's also this excitement that comes with thunderstorms that you don't get with other types of weather. That's what reminds me of home where I grew up in Pennsylvania-there were thunderstorms all the time. - “Z”
I love sceneries-sunsets by the ocean, sunrises by the lake, meadows, pathways through nature (woods, rivers, trails), and landscapes. I also love Autumn. The entire season makes everywhere I look around even more beautiful and it's peaceful. It gives me time to clear my head and be present with my surroundings. Walking around in nature during Autumn is the most peaceful thing to me. All I think about is how beautiful the yellow, red and orange leaves complement each other. The Evergreen trees give a good balance to those vibrant colors as well. Nothing is more relaxing and feeling the warm, crisp air. - “V”
It took a long time to get to inner peace and it was a culmination of my childhood experiences growing up in a tense environment while trying to remain happy and calm. It took me a sense of understanding and realizing that life happens for me to come to terms with acceptance of things and helped me find inner peace and sort out my internal issues. Coming to terms with the fact that life is temporary and that it comes with all the bad but that just means we should appreciate the good in life. That’s how I found inner peace. It helped me make sense of my internal conflicts and restless anger I had at life for loss and tragedy. - “C”
The setting that brings me inner peace is one where I feel in control. Extremely social or demanding situations stress me out and drain me very quickly because I feel like I must overexert myself to maintain a comfortable headspace. I have the habit of waking up around 2 hours before my classes and just lying in bed, looking at the sky, sometimes listening to music, sometimes I have my fountain on and I’m just listening to the water flow. This brings me peace because I’m moving at my own pace in a world that decides nearly everything else for me. - “Y”
Seeing live music makes all my worries go away. I feel centered with myself. Feeling the vibration move through my body is just an experience that I can’t get enough of. Being in the crowd with all these people that I don’t know but almost all of them are friendly and everyone shares everything. It’s like a second family, like another home. It’s surreal enjoying the amount of good energy in the room. All in all, it’s an experience I recommend to everyone. - “D”

On December 1, 2020, the Diginomics Research Group of the University of Bremen hosts Dr Michael Engel, Head of Data & AI Product Management at VW Financial Services. The event is co-organized by BREMEN.AI Data Lounge and the Data Science Center.
Topic: AI Product Management
Dr Engel will give an introduction into AI product management - a topic many companies struggle to succeed with. In this talk, Dr Engel discusses a product-level approach towards creating value by using AI. He is going to show how product management concepts enable data science teams to frame the search for and implementation of ideas for innovation. In addition to that, Dr Engel will identify areas in which the product management frameworks for software products do not apply to AI products. Finally, he will discuss complementary approaches specific for AI products.
The background of this talk is given by the lacking abilities of many companies to deploy AI technologies to generate real customer value and eventually, economic impact. The problem derives from the entrenched habit to either using a firm-level AI strategy or a technology based approach by developing new models respectively algorithms. However, a data science team does not benefit from this in either way to maximize any short to medium-term profits.
The talk will take place as an online event via Zoom. The recording will be published later on YouTube.

WHITEHALL, OH –
The Non Commissioned Officer is the backbone of the Army, and to maintain the overall success and knowledge base of the senior NCO corps, the 310th Expeditionary Sustainment Command held a Senior NCO Leadership Huddle Sept. 18-20, in Whitehall, Ohio.
The intent of the huddle was to gather the senior NCOs from across the command to discuss challenges, best practices and develop a common operating picture to set quantifiable goals for the new fiscal year.
“Attendees should find some of the best value in forming relationships and sharing information on problems and challenges that are common across the command,” said 310th ESC Command Sgt. Maj. Keith Gwin. “They will also hear directly from members of the 310th ESC primary staff and gain tools and resources that can assist them in the execution of their duties.”
The curriculum was extensive throughout the course and provided detail on a multitude of subjects.
“Everything we do here has been focused on how we as NCOs need to attack individual and unit readiness,” stated Gwin. “We are covering in great detail the priorities of the Army Reserve and the 377th Theater Sustainment Command’s focus areas, to include; enlisted promotions, development of the enlisted force, budget planning, property accountability, Inspector General, recruiting and retention initiatives.”
Sometimes the daily requirements can slow down even the best of leaders and a simple gathering of peers can provide the spark needed to tackle each task.
“This huddle gave me the extra motivational push to get things done and make thing happen,” Stated 1ST Sgt. Donald Weston with the 454th Transportation Company. Things will not get easier and we will always have more on our plate, but with the resources gained here today, we will make that happen.”
With constant unknowns in the world today, unit and individual readiness is on the mind of every leader within the Army Reserve.
“To achieve lethality and readiness we must empower company First Sergeants and be part of their fix it plan so they can do their jobs,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Carrie Cieslak with the 38th Regional Support Group. “Soldiers want to be ready and they want to be lethal, the more tools and resources we give first line leaders to execute, will have Soldiers ready for whatever the next job may be.”
The huddle concluded with attendees emailing feedback on the course and course content.
“We have had many positive comments from Soldiers and the staff,” said Gwin. This was our first meeting of this type during my tenure, but with the current success we already have plans in motion for next year.”

Faculty Spotlight: Alan Hevner, USF Distinguished Professor, Honored at Purdue University
By Keith Morelli
TAMPA (July 16, 2018) -- No stranger to awards and accolades for his life's work, Muma College of Business Information Systems and Decision Sciences Professor Alan Hevner traveled to West Lafayette, Indiana, recently to what may be the most poignant recognition he has received over his long, research-rich career.
In April, he attended a ceremony at his alma mater, Purdue University, where he was honored as a Distinguished Science Alumni and recognized for his accomplishments and the prestige he has brought both to himself and the university.
In his acceptance speech, Hevner said he was humbled to be among the group of eight honorees.
"Purdue," he said, "is a special place."
Hevner started out as a freshman there in 1969 and was a student in the very first computer science department, which was implemented seven years earlier. He started out as a math major.
"I came from a small town in Indiana, a very small town and I was a little intimidated when I came on to campus," he said. "I'm so grateful for everything Purdue offered me. It molded a small-town boy into a Boilermaker, a scholar and it's been a great experience."
He was in a cohort of 40 students, many of whom were like him, from small towns and high schools that did not, at that time, offer calculus.
His cohort was taught calculus solely on a computer as part of the course.
"To me, that was a revelation," he said. "I knew then that computers could really make an impact."
Computers have stayed with him throughout his impactful career.
He is a pioneer whose development of conceptual and methodological innovations have earned him recognition as a leader in the field of design-science research with more than 18,000 citations to his more than 200 research papers. His seminal 2004 MIS Quarterly article has over 10,000 citations and ranks among the most widely cited publications in the entire field of information systems. He has mentored 17 doctoral students.
He now is a Distinguished University Professor at USF and Eminent Scholar in the ISDS Department in the Muma College of Business, where he holds the Citigroup/Hidden River Chair of Distributed Technology.
IBM and numerous Fortune 500 companies have called on Hevner's expertise in his areas of research, which include information systems development, software engineering, distributed database systems, health-care systems and design-science research. He serves on the editorial review boards of several prominent journals in his field. From 2006-08, he was a program manager at the U.S. National Science Foundation in the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate.
Still, he said, his visit to his alma mater was special.
"The reception was held in the sky boxes of Purdue's Ross Ade Football Stadium," he
said, "The honorees' pictures were flashed
on the stadium's Jumbotron throughout the ceremony. The recognition of my achievements
as a computer science alumnus was a heart-warming experience."
All of his higher education was at Purdue. He is a three-time grad of the university with a bachelor's and a master's degree and a PhD in computer science. Hevner went on to become a faculty member at the University of Minnesota and the University of Maryland, where he was chair of the information systems faculty before joining USF in 1994.
Since those days, Hevner has consistently been recognized for his groundbreaking work. He has been:
• named Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, selected by his peers;
• named a Schoeller Senior Fellow at the Friedrich Alexander Universitat Erlanger-Nurnberg, Germany, from 2014-2017;
• named a Parnas Fellow at Lero Institute in Ireland;
• named a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions to Design Science Research.
"Al Hevner is one of the most distinguished colleagues I have ever worked with," said Muma College of Business Dean Moez Limayem. "He is widely respected both here and around the globe. He helped lift this entire university and put us on the map.
"His research is widely cited and he is considered the definitive voice in the field," Limayem said. "Al Hevner has changed the way research in this field is now being conducted. He truly is transformative."

The TOMODACHI Next Generation Summit 2024 on September 29 held at the Tokyo American Club brought together a vibrant community of university students, young professionals and industry leaders to explore the diverse voices shaping the future of U.S.-Japan relations. The event was centered around three key components, each designed to inspire action and foster meaningful connections.
The TSUNAGARI Hub was a career fair-style exhibition where participants engaged with industry leaders and impactful organizations, and explored study abroad opportunities. It featured nine booths: Prudential Financial, Boeing Japan, Cheerio Corporation, Dow Chemical Japan, U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Education USA, Ministry of Education’s TOBITATE, U.S.-Japan Council Japan Region, U.S.-Japan Council’s Study Abroad Programs and the TOMODACHI Regional Framework. This Hub provided a unique platform for attendees to network, discover opportunities aligned with their passions and broaden their professional horizons.
The TOMO Voice Pitch Contest offered emerging leaders the opportunity to present innovative ideas for community action. Participants showcased creative solutions to societal challenges, competing for the chance to present their ideas on a larger stage at the upcoming U.S.-Japan Council Annual Conference. The competition highlighted the power of youth-led initiatives in driving positive change. Each pitch was incredibly inspiring and eye-opening. Miku Narisawa, TOMO Voice Speaker and founder of Odyssey Nature Japan shared her story and thoughts, stating, “… I believe that without healthy nature and a sustainable environment, innovation won’t happen, and can’t protect the security of the country or food. The time is now to act and not wait for the next generation.” Congratulations to the three winners: Miku Hayashida, Shotaro Abe and Hikari Igarashi!
The Visionary Voices Panels hosted two discussions, each focusing on “workplace kaizen,” continuous improvement, and the empowerment of global talent, or “jinzai.” The first part of Visionary Voices, the Corporate Panel, brought together experienced corporate leaders from various industries to discuss their experiences, challenges, and successes with fostering continuous improvement in a corporate environment. The second panel, Next Generation Panel, brought together young thinkers to share their thoughts on the evolution of Japan’s workplace. Attendees gained insight into the transformation of Japan’s workplaces through innovation and integrating global talent into industries, offering valuable takeaways for participants eager to make a global impact. Visionary Voices Next Generation Panel speaker Sunwoo Park shared an inspiring message, stating, “We may think our journey has to be a perfect route, but I don’t think it needs to be perfect. We just need to start…Everyone can have an opportunity, and we have TOMODACHI, each other, to support us.”
The Summit, open to all university students and young professionals, regardless of TOMODACHI program participation, emphasized the crucial role of the Next Generation in shaping U.S.-Japan relations. Inspiring talks from leaders in their fields underscored the potential of youth involvement in fostering stronger international ties. Attendees left with a clear vision of what is possible when young people take the lead in community empowerment and international relations.
We were honored to welcome several notable and high-level attendees at the Summit, including Deputy Chief of Mission Kemy Monahan from the U.S. Embassy Tokyo and Mr. OTA Manabu from Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who shared their insights with our participants. In her remarks, Deputy Chief of Mission Monahan emphasized the critical role of youth in strengthening U.S.-Japan ties, stating, “People-to-people relationships are the basis of the U.S.-Japan relationship and there’s nothing more important than the next generation in building those relationships.”
Kaede Yoshida, participant and alumna of 2024 TOMODACHI-Dow Women’s STEM Leadership Program said, “The summit was an excellent opportunity to meet up with my friends from the TOMODACHI-Dow Women’s STEM Leadership Program. Also, as part of the next generation, I was deeply inspired by people my age who were passionate about what they were doing and taking action to change society. Since I aspire to become a biological researcher in the future, it was a great opportunity to think about ‘what I can do’ for a better future.”
This year’s summit successfully empowered participants to take control of their futures and laid the groundwork for continued discussion on global collaboration and community action. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

As part of this year’s PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, Vancouver-based Electric Company Theatre presents the premiere of An Undeveloped Sound.
On the shores of an ocean sound, an abandoned commercial outlet has been repurposed as a call centre. Inside, a team of spokespeople have been recruited to speak on behalf of a mysterious new development. Their task, it seems, is next to impossible. Although units have been sold and the development should be in its final phase, the developer has stopped responding, the units haven’t materialized, and the spokespeople are at a loss for words. What exactly have they been hired to represent?
This beguiling creation features four spokespeople hired to represent a mysterious development. Using Goethe’s Faust as a loose template, writer-director Jonathon Young applies its core themes to the issue of communication itself: caught between the forces of development and destruction, the spokespeople are on a quest to say what can’t be said.
“It’s like No Exit meets Severence,” says actor Andrew McNee, who plays Wade in the production alongside Ryan Beil, Amy Rutherford, Laara Sadiq & Ruby Henderson.
In this edition of Before The Curtain Goes Up, Vancouver Presents contributor David C Jones speaks with McNee about the production.
An Undeveloped Sound plays as part of the 2023 PuSh International Performing Arts Festival at the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre at the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts (149 W Hastings St, Vancouver) from January 30 through February 4. Visit pushfestival.ca for tickets and information.

(ⓜ = members only!)
In January I ran a post here at The Catholic Astronomer about the newly-discovered letter that Galileo wrote and (according to the journal Nature) lied about—click here for that post. The Nature articles concerning Galileo’s letter were “news” or “opinion” articles, written by Nature’s editors and correspondents. They were not research papers written by the scholars who found the letter: Michele Camerota of the Università degli Studi di Cagliari, and Franco Giudice and Salvatore Ricciardo of Università degli Studi di Bergamo. Now a scholarly, peer-reviewed paper, written by those scholars regarding the letter, has been published, and so I thought I’d follow up with a little analysis.
In order to read the rest of this post, you have to be a paid-up member of Sacred Space, and logged in as such!…
The paper, titled “The reappearance of Galileo’s original Letter to Benedetto Castelli”, appears in the February 6, 2019 issue (volume 73, issue 1) of Notes and Records: The Royal Society Journal of the History of Science. It is available on-line, and is written in a readable manner, so all who are interested can read it for themselves—just click here.
I know little about handwriting analysis, but Camerota, Giudice, and Ricciardo certainly convinced me that the newly-discovered letter was indeed written by Galileo. A comparison between the date written in the newly-discovered letter, and the dates written in other letters that Galileo wrote, was enough to do that. (The various samples of Galileo’s handwriting that Camerota, Giudice, and Ricciardo provide are also enough to convince me that handwriting was not a highly-valued skill in Italy in the early seventeenth century.) And one of the things that I find most interesting about the paper is that Camerota, Giudice, and Ricciardo report that the wording of the handwritten letter “corresponds exactly to the text sent by [Dominican friar Nicolò] Lorini to Cardinal Sfondrati in Rome” in 1615, and that the Vatican still has today.
But I also have a complaint about the paper. I think it conveys one certain impression that is not accurate. Camerota, Giudice, and Ricciardo talk about Galileo’s “intricate relations with the Roman Catholic Church in these years”, and mention theologians and Aristotelian philosophers. But Galileo wrote this letter to address issues raised by Christina of Lorraine, the mother of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Galileo states this explicitly in the letter (click here for a translation of the version of the letter as later altered by Galileo). Yes, some figures within the Church had been looking to cause trouble for Galileo regarding his views on astronomy—Lorini had accosted Galileo in November of 1612, and a year before that a friend had written to Galileo warning him that a group was meeting at the home of the archbishop of Florence and plotting against him—so Christina’s issues no doubt echoed the thoughts of others. But it seems to me that the fact that Galileo wrote this letter in response to ideas expressed by the Grand Duchess Christina of Lorraine ought to show up somewhere in all that has been written about this letter.
It ought to show up because it is worthwhile to convey correct information. And, it seems to me also worthwhile to know that a powerful and intelligent woman, whose opinion obviously carried weight with Galileo, played a role in all this. She—not some bishop or cardinal, nor some Jesuit scholar, nor some Dominican preacher—was the one who got Galileo’s dander up and prompted him to say stuff that he obviously came to regret saying (and then tried to hide by altering his letter). But so far I have seen no mention of the Grand Duchess in any of the discussions, either in the Notes and Records paper or in Nature or in the various articles written as spin-offs from Nature’s report of the newly-discovered letter. From what has been written about it, you might think that Galileo wrote the letter in response to someone in the official apparatus of the Church.
If you find the above images interesting, seek out a full copy of the paper (a university library is your best bet).

The European Commission has now published proposals for the detailed technical amendments that will accompany the overall plan to make the VAT system more fraud-resilient.
In the October proposal, the Commission proposed the main principles for the creation of a single EU VAT area which would help to shut down the estimated €50 billion in fraud currently affecting national budgets annually in EU Member States.
With the proposal of these technical measures, the Commission hopes that Member States will initiate discussions on the broader principles or ‘cornerstones’ of a simpler and resilient definitive EU VAT system for the trade in goods within the EU.
These four cornerstones are:
– Simplification of how goods are taxed
– Creation of a single online portal (‘One Stop Shop’) for traders
– Reduced administrative burden
– Making the seller responsible for VAT collection in most cases
You can read the full press release here.
Pierre Moscovici, Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, said that “the proposals we are presenting today represent the final building blocks in the overhaul of the EU’s VAT system. They will open the way to simpler rules, less red tape and a more user-friendly system, thanks to the online one-stop shop for traders.”

The New 2025 Lexus RX 450h Redesign, Specs, and Price. There is a plethora of luxury SUVs and crossovers available on the market; however, there are not a lot of options available for fuel-efficient versions, such as the new 2025 Lexus RX 450h. You should go for the Lexus RX 450h if you are looking for a vehicle that offers both a luxurious driving experience and a high mileage on a single vehicle.
There are a number of reasons why the RX 450h, which is manufactured by Toyota’s premium division, is a better option than competitors in the same market group. There will be a redesign of the vehicle for the year 2025.
Table of Contents
The output of the engine and electric motor in the 2025 Lexus RX 450h
It is possible to purchase a hybrid powertrain for the 2025 Lexus RX 450h. In addition, it has a 123-kW electric motor and a 3.5-liter V6 engine. There has a total output of 308 horsepower. Despite the fact that the acceleration is satisfactory, the driving experience is not exactly sporty. This is mostly due to the weight of the vehicle. For the all-wheel drive system, the EPA rating for city/highway driving is 31/28 miles per gallon.
Eco, Normal, Sport+, and Sport are the four driving modes that are available on the engine. The fuel economy is quite good not just in the city but also when traveling on the highway.
Changes and Improvements to the Design of the 2025 Lexus RX 450h
The 2025 Lexus RX 450h is a sleek vehicle that also has an exterior that is rather frightening. It is possible that the enormous spindle grille will be a turnoff for some individuals, but it will be appealing to you. The lamps are equipped with LED lighting, and there is a skid plate on the underside of the grille. Additionally, the floating-roof effect works to its advantage. There is some minor chrome work on the back side, as well as a spoiler and wrap-around lighting.
The interior of the vehicle features a design style that is both loud and opulent. It is pretty obvious that the craftsmanship is present in every nook and cranny, and everything that you see is lavish. Wrapped in leather, the multi-layer dashboard features a display that measures 12.3 inches and is located within it. In addition to heated seats and a panoramic sunroof, you are provided with three-zone climate control. There is also a heating system installed on the steering wheel. In addition to dark rose upholstery and sportier seats, the F Sports package also includes customized bumpers and other features. There is a wide variety of customization options available for the leather and wood trim. The cabin has sufficient space to accommodate five adults at a time.
Restrictions and Safety Functions
The F Sports package is available for purchase with the 2025 RX 450h, which is only available in a single trim level. Wheels measuring 18 inches in diameter, fog lights, automatic high beams, a rearview camera, automatic wipers, and keyless ignition are all included in the base grade. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a forward collision warning system, dynamic radar cruise control, automatic braking, lane departure warning, parking assist, and adaptive cruise control. In addition to ventilated front seats and a rearview camera, the cabin is equipped with automated climate control with two zones. A color display of 8 inches, voice commands, Connect emergency communications, and Bluetooth are all included in the infotainment infrastructure.
Adaptive suspension dampers, a blackout mesh grille, 20-inch wheels, an engine noise enhancer, and a specific interior trim are some of the features that are included in the F Sports trim level. An optional luxury package is available. In addition, you have the option of selecting some stand-alone options, such as a sound system designed by Mark Levinson.
The 2025 Lexus RX 450h Cost and Availability
The base model of the 2025 Lexus RX 450h has a price tag of approximately $54,000. It is now possible to purchase the automobile. The 2025 Lexus RX 450h is a hybrid crossover that is both fashionable and sporty, and it provides strong performance in addition to a sufficient number of premium extras. You get a sufficient number of options for personalization, and the cabin is expertly made.
Despite the fact that the car’s style is a little bit noisy and the engine is not exactly sporty, it nevertheless provides sufficient value for the price tag.

Later mail pickup returning downtown
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, April 20, 2004
[4/20/04]Mail pickup is returning to 5 p.m. this week at the Crawford Street Post Office after earlier pickups drew the ire of business owners.
Vicksburg District Postmaster Tim Costello said the Postal Service will make the change as soon as new stickers arrive showing the former times.
In March, the downtown pickups were changed to speed up delivery to the main office in Jackson.
Pickup times at most downtown boxes will stay between 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. to get more mail on the first truck leaving for Jackson.
Costello said the tradeoff will be fewer drop boxes in other locations, “ones that don’t get as much mail.”
There were 15 corner drop boxes throughout Vicksburg, and Costello said that number will drop by three. Drop boxes were removed at 1800 Monroe St., 1301 Washington St., and 1604 Cherry St.
Vicksburg’s main post office is on Pemberton Boulevard. Boxes outside the former main post office, on Crawford, are used by many downtown merchants and professionals who rely on the mail for business purposes. Pickup times were moved up to get more mail out on a truck that leaves Vicksburg at 4 p.m. The latest truck leaves the Pemberton Post Office around 6:15, but makes stops in Edwards and Bolton and does not get to Jackson until too late for the outgoing mail to be sorted that day.
Postal officials are also looking at options to move or contract out downtown postal business. The building has been sold to a private developer, and currently rent costs $8,900 per month for space on the first floor.
Costello has said that if a contract cannot be worked out with the new owner, they may seek to contract out postal services to a downtown business.
The former federal courthouse was bought at auction for $635,000 by the Courthouse Partners LLC. The deal is expected to close in June if accepted by the General Services Administration, the federal government’s property manager.

Just a little nod to the late, great Barbaro
Published 6:40 pm Saturday, May 6, 2017
I know very little about horses or horse racing, only that horses are such beautiful, majestic animals. Seeing them run with such ease, their muscles rippling, is like witnessing grace itself.
A friend, who lived down the street from me when I was growing up, Ruthie Manning, owned a horse and I loved to go to the stables where it lived and help her tend it, often getting to ride it. I wanted a horse so badly, but it wasn’t to be.
I also love big sporting events of all kinds. And, though not a follower of horse racing, I had always enjoyed watching the three races that make up the Triple Crown — the Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Ky., the Preakness at Pimlico in Baltimore and the Belmont Stakes in Elmont, N.Y.
I enjoyed those races, that is, until Barbaro.
I remember all of the excitement when Secretariat won the Triple Crown in 1973, when I was 11 years old.
In 1978, when I was a sophomore in high school, I recall visiting Billie Buckley, the wife of the Rev. Gerald Buckley, who was pastor of the church I attended in Natchez at the time, when Affirmed won the Triple Crown. I remember Buckley and his sons nearly losing their minds when Affirmed crossed the finish line.
In 2015, I quietly cheered for American Pharoah, although I didn’t watch a single race leading up to his Triple Crown win.
I just couldn’t.
I haven’t watched a horse race since May 20, 2006, which just after the start, beautiful Barbaro, who was favored to win, was injured, breaking three bones in his leg, which eventually led to his death.
His horseracing career was over in that instant. But it was only in the weeks and months that followed that the world would learn of his awesome will and heart. I don’t know what it was about that horse. I fell in love with him when I saw him run in the Kentucky Derby. His owner, Gretchen Jackson, said early on that Barbaro “had a presence about him.” He surely did.
It seems like the entire world cheered for Barbaro while he fought so valiantly for his life. And Barbaro did fight, right alongside his owners and trainers and surgeons and others who cared for him. Barbaro was a playful horse and delighted the thousands of people who traveled to try to get a glimpse of him during his better days after his injury. But with every breakthrough, a setback followed. Our emotions became like a roller coaster ride until his owners and doctors decided they could no longer adequately manage Barbaro’s pain and the humane thing to do was to euthanize him.
That was such a sad morning.
As I sit in my office writing this column, the Kentucky Derby is just a couple of hours away. But I won’t watch it today, either.
I have nothing against horse racing, though many animal lovers think it’s a cruel and abusive sport. I don’t know about that.
It’s simply my nod to Barbaro. I’ve seen the best; no need to watch any more.

FALLBROOK – D'Vine Path is constantly evolving in order to better accommodate and educate its students. Recently, the nonprofit partnered with the Mission Resource Conservation District (MRCD) in a Xeriscape Project to promote pollinator habitats through native plants.
According to MRCD Natural Resource Programs Manager Lisa Dibbell, xeriscaping is a landscaping design practice that strives to conserve water by reducing or eliminating the need for supplemental irrigation. This design practice benefits pollinators and conserves water while also increasing fire-resistance.
The pollinator hedgerow planted at D'Vine Path aims to boost local biodiversity and create a habitat for pollinators such as native bees, butterflies and moths.
"We are excited that D'Vine Path is one of our first habitat sites, helping us to accomplish our larger goal of establishing monarch and pollinator habitat throughout Fallbrook," Dibbell said.
Utilizing a Xerces Society's Habitat Kit, MRCD worked with D'Vine Path staff and students to plant a variety of native species around the fenceline and perimeter of the vineyard. A few of these plants included white sage, narrowhead milkweed, deerweed and seaside daisy.
"We are fortunate to partner with the Mission Resource Conservation District in helping to promote pollinator habitats in our area," said D'Vine Path Executive Director Lenila Lingad Batali. "Our students and staff worked hard and fast to plant the seedlings before the rains. They learned about native landscape, its importance of increasing pollination spaces and most importantly, teamwork."
D'Vine Path viticulture facilitator Chris Miller prepared the soil beforehand, then he and other D'Vine Path facilitators worked to help plant the wide variety of plants. Students learned about the benefits of the native plants as they worked with MRCD each step of the way, from measuring the space between each plant to digging the holes.
"Spending time with the people at D'Vine Path is always a pleasure." Dibbell said. "I enjoyed having conversations with the students, and I was happy to help dig a few holes on planting day. There were so many helpers and the project was well-planned."
With the help of California Association of Resource Conservation Districts and a grant from the Wildlife Conservation Board, MRCD received the funding to help improve climate resilience through monarch and pollinator habitat restoration as well as carbon farming practices. D'Vine Path staff and students will now be utilizing the pollinator hedgerow as an educational tool, and they look forward to helping the local pollinators.
"We are proud to offer this garden as a learning opportunity and provide community engagement through future workshops," Lingad Batali said.

Finally! After seven years in the making. Under the Black Sand has been published. It is now available on Amazon for their Kindle devices. Publishing was easy and complicated at the same time.
Amazon encourages the author to price eBooks at $2.99 or higher, so I initially set that price. To my astonishment, it was listed for $6.04, twice as much as I bargained for. Let the investigations begin!
No pricing information was available on the UK site. Turns out that I can’t buy eBooks from the UK because I’m not in the UK. The US site adds all kinds of costs for non-US customers. I can buy it from Amazon Germany and France for the price I set. Somewhere around two and a half euros. Panicking, I set the price at 99 cent. I see it on Amazon DE and FR for 89 eurocent, but $3.62 in the USA.
Seems that one must buy from a store close by, something I find strange as this is an electronically distributed eBook. But hey, if those are the rules, I’ll have to live with it and create some kind of a links page here on my own blog.
Another annoyance I encountered was when I tried to have a physical book made. I wanted to use CreateSpace because that would put the book on sale on Amazon. Turns out, I need a US tax number. I am not a US citizen and don’t intend to become one. Seems like I’ll have to look into this as well. Registering with the IRS is a huge step for someone that expects to sell no more than a handful of books.
So, the book is out. It is available and that is great. But the road to global availability is not as straightforward as I’d hoped.
Come back soon, as I will post my findings as I dive deeper into this self-publishing world.

London, United Kingdom, Jun 17, 2021 / TRAVELINDEX / The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), launch a major new report today, addressing the complex issue of single-use plastic products within Travel & Tourism.
‘Rethinking Single-Use Plastic Products in Travel & Tourism’ launches as countries around the world begins to reopen, and the Travel & Tourism sector starts to show signs of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic which has been devastating.
The report is a first step to mapping single-use plastic products across the Travel & Tourism value chain, identifying hotspots for environmental leakages, and providing practical and strategic recommendations for businesses and policymakers.
It is intended to help stakeholders take collective steps towards coordinated actions and policies that drive a shift towards reduce and reuse models, in line with circularity principles, as well as current and future waste infrastructures.
The report’s recommendations include redefining unnecessary single-use plastic products in the context of one’s own business; giving contractual preference to suppliers of reusable products; proactively planning procedures that avoid a return to single-use plastic products in the event of disease outbreaks; supporting research and innovation in product design and service models that decrease the use of plastic items, and revising policies and quality standards with waste reduction, and circularity in mind.
Virginia Messina, Senior Vice President and Acting CEO, WTTC said: “WTTC is proud to release this important high-level report for the sector, focusing on sustainability and reducing waste from single-use plastic products in Travel & Tourism.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the sustainability agenda with businesses and policymakers now putting an even stronger focus on it. As a growing priority, businesses are expected to continue to reduce single-use plastic products waste for the future and drive circularity to protect not only our people, but importantly, our planet.
“It is also becoming clear that consumers are making more conscious choices, and increasingly supporting businesses with sustainability front of mind.”
Single-use plastic products can be a threat to the environment and human health and without deliberate effort across the sector, Travel & Tourism can and will contribute significantly to the issue.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had both negative and positive impacts on single-use plastics pollution.
The demand for single-use plastics items has increased with safety being a high concern among tourists and take-away services being on the rise. According to the Thailand Environment Institute, plastic waste has increased from 1,500 tons to a staggering 6,300 tons per day, owing to soaring home deliveries of food.
However, the pandemic has also catalysed consumer demand for green tourism experiences around the world, with a 2019 global study* finding 82% of respondents are aware of plastic waste and are already taking practical actions to tackle pollution.
The report recognises that global solutions are required to address corporate concerns about the use of single-use plastic products. It aims to support informed decision making based on the potential impacts of trade-offs and of unintended burden shifting when considering the transition to sustainable alternatives.
Sheila Aggarwal-Khan, Director of the Economy Division, UNEP said: “Travel & Tourism has a key role to play in addressing the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, as well as making circularity in the use of plastics a reality.
“The advent of COVID-19 and consequent proliferation of single-use plastic products has added urgency to the crises. With this report, we hope to encourage stakeholders in this industry to come together to address this multifaceted challenge. Only by doing so, can we ensure meaningful and durable change.”
With around 90 percent of ocean plastic derived from land-based sources** and the annual damage of plastics to marine ecosystems amounting to US$13 billion per year***, proactively addressing the challenge of plastics within the Travel & Tourism sector is key.

Introduced as a result of an industry-wide cooperation, AEMP 2.0 API delivers data in a standardized format. OEMs follow ISO15143-3 2016 to align with an industry-wide agreed method of presenting data, giving fleet managers the ability to easily incorporate it into their existing systems.
Daniel Widlund, Service Manager Connectivity process at Volvo Construction Equipment explained: “With AEMP 2.0 API, mixed fleet telematics information can now be accessed all in the same format. A common challenge for mixed fleet operators has been having to manage multiple telematics solutions, each delivering different types of information and in different formats. Thanks to AEMP 2.0 API, mixed fleet telematics data is now easier to access and easier to analyze – helping customers to identify the actions needed which can enhance the productivity and efficiency of their entire operation.”
AEMP 2.0 API allows CareTrack telematics data to be easily integrated into a customer’s own systems, ensuring they continue to benefit from the wealth of data supplied by Volvo telematics. Being able to access mixed fleet telematics data all in one place means fleet owners can get a holistic view of their entire fleet. When compared to AEMP 1.2, AEMP 2.0 API offers even more available data points, including load data, idle hours, and fault codes. This powerful, consolidated data can provide the insight needed to maximize efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
What’s more, implementation is made easy thanks to the Volvo Developers’ Portal. As the name suggests, this is a portal which provides developers the necessary resources needed to easily set up and test the API integration for Volvo CE machines. Users can also find more information on how to access support, plus an extended FAQs section, along with a wealth of other information about AEMP 2.0 and the available data points.

It makes sense that most of the restaurant food fights we see are worker vs. customer, but it is kind of surprising that with all that perfectly good weaponry just hanging around that we don’t see more worker on worker disagreements end that way. But here’s one.
Spartanburg cops were called to a Taco Bell Monday afternoon after employee Christopher Dalton got into a dispute with Patricia Keeley, his manager.
Keeley told an officer that Dalton was upset over his work schedule and “was getting into several verbal disputes with other coworkers.” Keeley said that when she told Dalton to “stop being a crybaby,” he exploded.
Dalton allegedly “slung” a burrito at Keeley, who told police that “the melted cheese got all over her left arm and went all down her left side and leg.” Keeley added that the airborne burrito “made a mess of the entire kitchen as well, getting cheese over all the appliances.”
Before storming out of the fast food restaurant, Dalton “took off his headset and broke it on his knee and threw it on the ground, causing it to break into several pieces.”
Dalton, who at least won’t have to worry about which shift he’s on for a while, was later arrested and charged with assault and battery and malicious damage.

Montana camper offered his killer a beer — and it held suspect's DNA, sheriff says
When Dustin Kjersem’s girlfriend found his body at a campsite in the Montana woods, she suspected Kjersem had been killed by a bear, because of the severity his wounds. But police say a man did it — and that they’ve now arrested a suspect who has admitted to the crime.
The accused killer “removed items from the campsite he believed had evidence that could tie him to the crime,” including an axe used against Kjersem, Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer said in a news briefing on Thursday.
But he missed a beer can, Springer said. Using DNA from the can, the Montana state crime lab was able to find a match: Daren Christopher Abbey.
“This individual confessed to the murder of Dustin Kjersem,” the sheriff said of Abbey, who is 41.
Abbey is being held in Butte on a charge of deliberate homicide, as well as two counts of tampering with evidence. He has been denied bond, according to Gallatin County records.
State correction department records show Abbey has four or more arrests for DUI, raising the offense to the felony level. He has multiple tattoos on his abdomen and arms, including swastikas and Viking symbols.
Investigators are still working to determine a motive for the killing. Springer said that while Abbey has told them his version of events, investigators are still working to ensure they know the whole truth.
“There does not appear to be any connection between our victim and our suspect,” Springer said, adding later, “This appears to be a heinous crime committed by an individual who had no regard for the life of Dustin Kjersem.”
Describing Kjersem’s final days, the sheriff said the 35-year-old set up camp on Thursday, Oct. 10, in the Moose Creek area about 35 miles south of Bozeman, where he planned to spend the weekend with his girlfriend.
“This camp included a wall tent complete with wood stove, beds, lamps, and multiple other items,” Springer said.
Kjersem’s girlfriend had to work on Friday, so he planned to leave the campsite to bring her back that night.
“Dustin did not show up to pick up his girlfriend and she became worried,” Springer said. “On Saturday morning, she and her friend drove to the campsite and found Dustin deceased in the tent.”
Abbey, who has ties to the nearby town of Big Sky, told investigators that he also planned to camp on that Thursday -- but when he reached the site where he planned to set up, Kjersem was already there.
“He stated that Dustin welcomed him to the campsite and offered him a beer,” the sheriff said. “At some point, this individual struck Dustin Kjersem with a piece of solid wood, stabbed him in the neck with a screwdriver and ultimately hit him with the axe.”
Springer alleged that Abbey took a number of items from the campsite, including an Estwing camp axe, a Remington shotgun, a Ruger Blackhawk revolver, and an orange YETI brand cooler.
But wildlife officials found no signs of bear activity, and an autopsy supported the idea that the case was a homicide, setting off a search for Kjersem’s killer.

What is the purpose of this test?
Order this Allergen Profile Mold Blood Test to measure IgE antibodies in the blood to detect an allergy to various common molds. The chief cause of allergies in mold is the seed, referred to as mold spores. These spores are tiny fungi continuously floating in the air and thrive in moist and humid environments. Mold can be found in homes, outdoors, and in any building with a favorable environment.
How might I be exposed to mold?
Outdoor molds grow in places such as a pile of fallen leaves, grass, compost, and rotting trees or logs. Although molds do not die with the first signs of frost, they become inactive during the winter. However, molds can grow on plants killed by cold winter temperatures in the springtime.
Indoor mold grows in damp areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, or basement. If gone unnoticed, the following conditions can enhance the opportunity for mold to grow:
- Moisture buildup
- Unknown leaks
- Damp areas under a carpet
Out of the hundreds of types of molds, there are only a few molds that cause allergic reactions. Because mold spores are in the air, everyone breathes them through the nose, but only some individuals react to the allergens. Individuals allergic to mold may experience seasonal allergy symptoms that start in the middle of summer and last until early fall. However, since it grows year-round, sensitive individuals can experience symptoms whenever they are exposed to mold.
When should I order an Allergen Profile Mold Blood Test?
Individuals may order this Allergen Profile Mold Blood Test if they have experienced symptoms related to a mold allergy. Direct contact with or inhaling mold spores may trigger an individual's immune system response. This response is because the body views certain substances as harmful and produces IgE antibodies to combat these invaders. Unfortunately, these antibodies cause histamine to be released, resulting in the symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.
An allergic reaction may vary depending on the individual and range from mild to severe. Individuals may experience an allergic reaction within minutes to hours after exposure. Common symptoms of a mold allergy may include one or more of the following symptoms:
- Postnasal drip
- Red or watery eyes
- Runny nose
- Sore Throat
- Trouble breathing or wheezing
A severe, possibly life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis may occur in some cases. An anaphylactic response requires immediate medical attention. Signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis may include:
- Rapid or increased pulse
- Swollen throat or lump making it difficult to breathe
- Low blood pressure
- Extreme dizziness or loss of consciousness

In a world where hype is seemingly king, there are cheap replica watches uk that us regular mortals are unlikely to ever be able to obtain. Waitlist numbers that get passed down to the next generation have become increasingly common, but what if they weren’t a thing? Our team has come together to pick out their favourite waitlisted wholesale fake watches, and to make the whole thing even less centred in reality, we agreed to the money-no-object-rule. Fair warning – a few of these choices will be unsurprising.
Borna – Fake Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time 5164A
I would’ve never expected myself to like this luxury replica Patek Philippe UK. Sure, it’s cool and all, even more so when strapped to John Mayer’s wrist, all beat up and with that tiny Tiffany signature. I, however, am not John Mayer, so I thought that the 5164 would forever be just one of those high end fake watches that I see and go “oh, that’s neat”, before returning to my perusing of weird auction sites for broken vintage pieces.
Naturally, there’s a twist in this story, which came after I got to try this watch on at a boutique. It’s just about the perfect super clone watch, save for a dressier occasion. It’s slim, proportional, and practical – that last point only applicable if you forget to consider the significant effort and/or investment that it takes to obtain one. Knowing that, even with the funds to buy one, nothing short of a miracle will make the Swiss made replica Patek Philippe land on my wrist might be the thing that makes it so appealing. Do I genuinely love it, or is it just the worst case of FOMO imaginable? I’m not sure – but I am absolutely certain that this is my pick.
Fergus – Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding 34mm
My taste in Swiss super clone watches is most often aligned with the weird and wonderful, rarely crossing paths with anything so popular it requires a waitlist. If I did have tens of thousands of dollars to drop on a luxury watch, I’d most likely head straight to eBay and end up with a handful of vintage bargains. Truthfully, I’m not even sure which watches actually are waitlisted at the moment, but if I had to pick then I’d guess finding a 1:1 fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak at retail is always going to be a struggle.
My reference of choice would be the aaa quality replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Frosted Gold Selfwinding in its 34mm case. The sparkling matte texture is a rare thing to see in watchmaking, and I appreciate how far it crosses into jewellery territory. The dial is also one of the few shades of blue that I really like, which would really stand out in my collection of mostly white-dialled fake watches online.

Taser used to capture man who allegedly rammed deputy’s squad car, fled
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office says a taser was used to detain a man who allegedly rammed a deputy’s squad car with a truck, fled, and then approached a deputy with a screwdriver after his truck was disabled.
The incident began just after midnight Friday morning when a deputy attempted to stop a truck for suspicious behavior on Wahlsten Road in Kugler Township, between Embarrass and Tower.
A news release says the truck stopped at first, but when the deputy opened his squad door and began giving verbal commands, the truck accelerated into reverse and rammed the squad.
The truck then fled. The deputy attempted to stop the truck using Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuvers but was unsuccessful.
Then, a Babbitt police officer deployed stop sticks on Highway 21 about two to three miles from where the chase began. The truck’s front tires were damaged but the truck continued for about another half-mile before stopping.
At that point, the sheriff’s office says the driver exited the truck holding a screwdriver as a weapon, and moved towards the deputy.
A news release says the deputy held the suspect at gunpoint and gave verbal commands to stop, but the man continued to move towards the deputy. The Babbitt officer then used a taser and the man fell into the ditch.
The sheriff’s office says the man continued to resist as law enforcement attempted to put handcuffs on him, allegedly grabbing the deputy’s gun belt. The suspect was secured after additional law enforcement arrived on the scene.
"Although deadly force options were justified numerous times during the incident with this suspect, the two law enforcement officers chose less lethal tactics and options which resulted in a successful end to the incident," a news release from the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office said.
The news release said the deputy received medical treatment for an injury to his hand and the police officer received a face injury from receiving a head butt from the suspect.
The suspect was also medically treated for no specific injury and was booked into the St. Louis County Jail after being released from a hospital.
The sheriff’s office says the 47-year-old suspect had an active arrest warrant out of Wisconsin and had been monitoring law enforcement communications using an iPhone.
He now faces six potential felony charges including second- and fourth-degree assault, fleeing in a motor vehicle, and use of a police radio during the commission of a crime, as well as a gross misdemeanor for obstructing with force and several misdemeanor counts.

Preparing your soil for a spring garden should be done as early as possible. The main process is tilling your garden area around 8 to 12 inches beneath the surface and removing any rocks or debris. The next major step is to add organic matter and fertilizer. One thing you want to avoid is tilling when your soil is too wet. The extra water will hinder plant growth.
2) Weed your yard:
Weeds can be a pesky thorn in your side—especially if you let them run wild for most of the winter. Wedding is the boring and tedious work of caring for a garden, but it must be done. Start early, and do a little at a time so you won’t tire yourself out.
3) Use cooking water on your plants:
Watering your plants using left over cooking water is another great way to add a nutrient boost with the vitamins and minerals left behind after you have boiled some pasta, vegetables, or potatoes. Just be sure to let the water cool down before you feed it to your plants.
4) Use chamomile tea to ward off plant infections:
Watering your plants with chamomile tea is a great way to help ward off bacterial and fungal infections that come with springtime. Spraying your plants with a chamomile tea mix a few times a week will help stop your seedling from damping off.
5) Garden at night:
Many expert gardeners believe that planting at night will help your garden grow faster and stronger than by planting during the day. Planting at night also maximized your water usage. Just be sure that you have the proper lighting to see what you are doing. Since the cold of the winter months might not have completely passed, you should probably wear a sweater, too!

A diverse educator workforce is a benefit to all students, particularly students of color, yet the diversity of the workforce does not always mirror student populations. Enhancing access to high-quality, clinically rich preparation is a strategy for workforce diversification, including strengthening Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) practices and programs that provide a living wage to prospective teachers while they become certified.
As states, districts, and EPPs work to strengthen the educator workforce, Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs are being developed for K–12 teachers, paraeducators, and principals. As an evidenced-based workforce development strategy, RA programs have the potential to recruit a more diverse teacher workforce and positively impact teacher effectiveness, preparedness, and retention through paid on-the-job learning.
WestEd is partnering with RTI International, the New America Foundation, TeachMEducation Services, and Gateway Education Partners as an intermediary to support states, districts, and EPPs in launching, promoting, and expanding Registered Teacher Apprenticeship Programs (RTAPs) across the country through technical assistance, research, and resource development.
WestEd provides free technical assistance support to states, districts, education preparation programs, and other related partners in the design, development, and implementation of RA programs in the education sector.
WestEd supports the ERA Intermediary by providing coaching, technical assistance, and resource development in two key areas:
- strategies for blending and braiding funds and using innovative design and planning to establish financially sustainable programs that are affordable to teacher candidates
- development and implementation of programs that center diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
WestEd is a subcontractor of RTI International, who receives federal funds from the Department of Labor, Employment & Training Administration under Contract number 1605C2-23-C-0014.

In the past few weeks, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has given at least four separate speeches in the U.K. that were highly critical of Brexit.
And we know she never works for nothing. But, while she would be required to disclose any payments she received for lobbying the U.S. government, her advocacy in Europe about Brexit triggers no disclosure requirement.
So she is taking care to do her advocacy and lobbying on the other side of the ocean.
She said that Brexit “may well go down as one of the greatest and most unnecessary self-inflicted wounds in modern history.” She says that the decision of U.K. voters to approve Brexit was “motivated by misconceptions and myths.” She called Brexit “big lie” and claimed that it will put Britain at a “very big disadvantage.”
None of these comments are made on U.S. soil, all in Europe, so no disclosure is required.
Hillary’s people are all over the anti-Brexit lobbying campaign.
Declan Kelly, the CEO of Teneo — the consulting and investment company set up by associates of Hillary and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, to represent huge corporations and foreign governments — bought a public relations firm in Brussels from which to wage his campaign against Brexit.
As secretary of state, Hillary appointed Kelly as the U.S. economic envoy to Northern Ireland, a plum he got after he raised $2 million for her 2008 campaign. Now, is Kelly repaying the favor by channeling fees to Hillary to knock Brexit?
Teneo is doing fine these days, even as the Clintons find their careers in eclipse. The company now has 18 offices throughout the world, 12 divisions and almost 700 employees.
Doug Band, the COO and Bill Clinton’s former bag carrier, recently purchased the Sutton Place mansion of the late David Rockefeller for $20 million.
Teneo’s operation is basically the same as it was when Hillary was secretary of state and the heir apparent to the White House: It sells the Clintons and their influence. The company paid Bill $3 million while Hillary was a public official. But once that came out, Bill dropped his affiliation with them.
Even Chelsea Clinton complained that Teneo folks were “hustling” at the Clinton Global Initiative. And emails showed how Teneo was able to easily set up meetings with the secretary of state. Many of those companies and countries then contributed handsomely to the Clinton Foundation. It worked out well for everyone.
Some of Teneo’s advisers are also helping out in the anti-Brexit campaign. There’s former Sen. George Mitchell, another former U.S. envoy to Northern Ireland, who often speaks out against Brexit.
Then there’s Tony Blair. He doesn’t like Brexit either.
Bill’s and Hillary’s sudden appearances all over Europe raise the question of what they are doing there. They are not exactly famous for being romantic tourists. Some appearances are clearly paid gigs.
Did you catch the photos of Hillary and Bill on a rare trip together in Munich last week? Those two wild and crazy non-beer drinkers attended Octoberfest, where over 66,000 bottles of beer are consumed in a two-week period. Bill went all out and dressed up in the traditional German Lederhosen garb of tapered shorts to the knees, a vest and knee socks.
They were likely invited as a paid gig and Bill was probably required to wear the adorable little outfit. Why else would a former president wear such a costume? Hillary skipped the traditional low cut and full skirted dress.
But beyond the clown act, the Clintons are traveling to Europe constantly these days, attacking Brexit at every turn.
Is it their new way of making a living?

STRAY MAMA DOG LEADS RESCUERS TO HER BABIES
A stray dog in Fowler, California, who happens to be the mother of 10 puppies, recently led rescuers to her family – against all odds.
The stray – named Betty Boop by the rescuers – gave birth to her 10 puppies in an abandoned farmhouse. She then walked two miles each day into town to scavenge for food, which she brought back to the pups.
People in the town of Fowler noticed what was going on and were able to capture her.
Betty Boop then led one of the rescuers two miles out into the country, right to the farmhouse and the 10 puppies.
The rescuer who followed Betty Boop believes everything that happened was based on trust. Betty Boop trusted that the rescuer was there to help – which is exactly what happened because all the dogs are now being taken care of and a shelter is actively trying to find them all permanent homes. (People)

While you may get a different impression from ads, TV shows, and films, the vast majority of car accident cases are resolved through settlement rather than going to trial. Instead of a courtroom battle, the parties agree to an amount to compensate the victim and the claim is resolved. Because the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has established regulations on minimum auto insurance, an insurance company will be the party paying the victim according to the terms of the settlement agreement.
However, there are still many auto crash claims that do go to court, so it is possible that yours could be one of them. In general, the underlying reason is that you cannot reach an agreement with the insurer, but there are many other subtle explanations. Your New York car accident lawyer will advise you on the factors that play a role in forcing your case to litigation, but a few include:
Lowball Offer from the Insurer: An insurance company is a for-profit business, so your claim for compensation is a threat to its financial interests. Therefore, you can expect that your demand for payment will be met with a lower counteroffer – or perhaps even a denial. In some cases, your lawyer may still be able to negotiate a fair settlement through discussions with the claims adjuster. If negotiations fail, a lawsuit may be the only option for getting monetary damages in an amount sufficient to cover your losses.
Challenges with Proof: There are two key issues that can present hurdles when it comes to proving your right to compensation:
- Fault: You need to have sufficient evidence demonstrating how the other driver was responsible for the auto crash. If you lack proof of negligence, the insurance company will assert that its policyholder did not cause the accident.
- Injuries: Your medical records are strong evidence of your injuries, but you may encounter issues with proof if they are thin. You can alleviate the issue by having honest, detailed discussions with your treating physicians, who will include this information in your chart.
You Did Not Meet the No Fault Threshold: New York is a “no-fault” state for purposes of car accidents, which means that injured drivers are required to seek compensation from their own insurance companies – regardless of who caused the collision. You would file a claim under your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which the New York State Department of Financial Services requires all motorists to purchase. The only way you can pursue the other driver’s insurance company for monetary damages is if:
- You meet the no-fault threshold, i.e., showing that you suffer from serious injuries that result in permanent partial disability; and,
- You have sufficient proof that the vehicle collision was the other driver’s fault.
Benefits of Settling Your Car Accident Claim: Statistics demonstrate one key advantage to settling your claim via agreement: The US Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) reveals that plaintiffs who take their case to court only prevail 57 percent of the time. In addition:
- Settlement provides you with certainty regarding compensation;
- By settling, you eliminate the risk of an unfavorable outcome at trial; and,
- You can often reach and finalize settlement in weeks, a much shorter time than the litigation process.
Contact a New York Car Accident Attorney for More Information
At The Mandel Law Firm, our goal is to obtain the best possible outcome in your auto collision case, whether your interests are served by settling or taking your lawsuit to trial. If you would like more information on how our team can assist with your case, please contact our Manhattan office at (646) 770-3868 or via our website.

The candidates for this nomination and their campaign websites are physician and Kansas Senator Jim Barnett of Emporia, educator Sue Boldra of Hays, attorney and mediator Marck Cobb of Galva, farmer and Kansas Senator Tim Huelskamp of Fowler, Salina commercial real estate executive Tracey Mann, and Senator Brownback chief of staff Rob Wasinger of Cottonwood Falls.
The poll, with data collected July 24th through July 26th, shows three candidates — Barnett, Huelskamp, and Mann — tied, each with 24 percent of the vote.
The most recent poll by this firm from two weeks ago showed the same three candidates all within the survey’s sampling error. According to the pollster, the race was tied at that time, and it’s tied now.
It’s just that with the three candidates polling the exact same number, it feels like it’s really tied.
There are several trends evident in the chart: First, the meteoric rise of Mann has peaked. His numbers are down slightly, although within the margin of sampling error.
Second, Huelskamp continues on his upward trend. His numbers are higher than two weeks ago, although within the margin of sampling error.
Third, Barnett’s numbers are largely unchanged since the start of the polling in February.
Finally, the number of undecided voters continues to drop and is now at just seven percent.

Wind Watch is a registered educational charity, founded in 2005. |
For the last five and a half years, Day O. Mount and his wife, Kathy, have woken up every day promptly at 7 AM. The noise from the turbine situated near their Blacksmith Shop Road home will not allow them the luxury of sleeping later, but that changed abruptly Tuesday morning.
“It was 8 AM when we woke up,” Mr. Mount said. “We thought, ‘How did we sleep through it?’”
Selectmen voted during executive session Monday night to stop operation of the Wind 1 turbine as they appeal a cease and desist order from the zoning board of appeals. The appeals board ordered that the turbine be stopped temporarily while it worked on securing a special permit to keep the turbine in operation.
Mr. Mount said the noise from the turbines, which are only a few thousand feet from his home, forces his wife and him to keep their windows shut during the summer months. Other activities such as gardening have also been problematic because of the noise.
But after only three days of silence, he said he is already noticing the difference that the turbine’s inactivity has had on him.
“It reduces our stress, for sure,” he said.
Other neighbors on Blacksmith Shop Road also say they have noticed the health benefits that have come with the turbine’s temporary shutdown. Kathryn L. Elder said she has been sleeping better and feeling better overall since Tuesday.
“To have it off during the day—it’s an amazing feeling,” Ms. Elder said. “The improvements are so subtle. I don’t think most people could understand it.”
Looking beyond herself, Ms. Elder said that the turbine shutdown has been even more beneficial for those residents who spend more time at home. While she works during the week, other neighbors have often been left to deal with the noise from the turbines all day long. The noise has forced some retired residents to leave their homes during the day as a matter of necessity, she said.
“This is the time that they really want to enjoy their home,” she said. “That they have to leave it, that’s unfair.”
While there have been benefits to the turbine’s temporary operation, both Mr. Mount and Ms. Elder say that it is not enough. They said they hope that the town will work to remove the turbines, not simply for them, but for the good of all Falmouth residents.
“Do I feel like we’re winning? No,” Ms. Elder said. “I feel like we’re dragging town staff and the selectmen toward a solution.”
“It’s just unfair,” said Mr. Mount, arguing that the process that the town took in getting the turbines up and running was flawed. “We’ve rushed ahead here in Falmouth, and now we have to pay the cost of our mistake.”
Some in town have pegged neighbors abutting the turbines as obstructionists, but Mr. Mount said that is not the case. He said that while neighbors are in favor of efforts to address climate change, solutions such as the installation of the turbines should not come at the expense of the town’s own residents. Other options, such as an proposed Town Meeting article seeking the installation of solar arrays at the site of the former town landfill on Thomas B. Landers Road, would be a more effective and less divisive approach to addressing the climate change issue, he said.
“We are not going to solve climate change with a process that hurts people,” he said.

Emily Powell paintings are uplifting, encouraging people to maintain playfulness. She is a rising art star with a philosophy that there is no need for art to remain serious, creating a cheerful practise that many have grown to know and love.
Emily’s impressive body of work illustrates nostalgia & freewill. She brightly captures hometown coastal views in Devon, motherhood, still life & nature in her own light – from parrots in the shower, tigers in the sky, seagulls with a political agenda, flamboyant floral arrangements, boats at sea in battleship form. Her imagination is endless, her curiosity infectious, freely exploring paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, digital art, stop motion animations and more. The lively diversity behind Emily’s work is rightfully admired. Her fluorescent colour palette & fearless technique showcases liberty in the way she creates and exhibits. No surface, medium or space is impractical to her. By removing traditional boundaries in her work, Emily is proving herself to be a breath of fresh air to the art world.
‘I’m all about colour, letting go & having fun. I don’t believe art has to be super serious.’
Emily grew up in Liverpool. She went on to study at Norwich University of Arts with a sabbatical at the Ecole Régionale des Beaux-Arts de Rouen. Afterwards, she has exhibited at the Royal Society of Art, had collaborations with MOMA & British Museum and has been invited to paint the entrance of Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Emily completed a residency at Dartington Trust in Spring 2023.

16 Nov 2023
Get your copy
The automotive industry is facing unprecedented change. Over the next 10 years, new technologies, regulations, and consumer preferences will mean that many companies are forced to adapt their products and business models.
These companies are also facing increased competition from relatively new kids on the block like Tesla, NIO, and other electric-vehicle (EV) startups. According to Forbes, the global number of auto tech start-ups almost trebled between 2015 and 2020.
At the same time, the automotive industry is facing the effects of the Great Resignation and the resulting war for talent. In one survey from this year, 62.4% of automotive employers agreed that it’s more difficult to recruit skilled staff now than before the pandemic.
In this guide – the ultimate handbook to help you understand communicating with your automotive staff – we’ll show you why it’s so important to invest your time and money in, and how to get it right.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Internal communications – what is it?
- Why is internal communications so important?
- The challenges of internal comms for automotive staff
- How to nail your automotive internal comms strategy
- The must-haves of internal comms for automotive workers
And so much more!

Sufism is the mystical branch in Islam and is expressed either
within Sunni or Shi'ite traditions. Technically, it is not a completely
separate group in that those who adhere to this expression of Islam are
also either Sunni or Shi'ite; however, the mystical strands in Islam
are distinct, so Sufism is often viewed as a third group within Islam.
Sufi Islam, quite simply, is Islamic mysticism. The terms "sufi" and "sufism" are catchall terms used to describe lots of groups, individuals, subdivisions, impulses and time periods across Islam. Sufis point to Muhammad as someone who had mystical experiences both in the receiving of the Quran as well as during his famous "night journey" in which he was taken on a tour of heaven to meet ancient biblical prophets and, finally, to meet God. They also cite many Quranic texts that speak of longing for and friendship with God. Such longing is a dominant theme across the various mystical strands in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
Sufism can be traced in different stages throughout Islam's history. In the first 100 years or so after Muhammad, certain ascetic practices began to appear in Islam, such as renouncing worldly possessions, limiting food and sleep, and developing pious inner states and behaviors. Some say that the term "sufi" comes from this early period in which the pious ascetics would wear wool - or "suf" - cloaks.
A shift away from asceticism to love mysticism occurs in the 8th
century. Key individuals in this period are Rabi (717-801 in Basra),
Bayezid Bistami (died 874 in Persia) and al-Hallaj (9th century
Persian). Later in the 12th century, the dominant figure was
al-Ghazzali, a Persian scholar of theology and jurisprudence who turned
to mysticism in his later years. He is most famous for his explanation
of the "99 names of Allah."
Later Sufism, after al-Ghazzali's death, was focused around organized brotherhoods and Sufi "orders" called "tariqa" meaning "path." These brotherhoods were lead by a "shayk" who would instruct and guide the disciples along the path of ever higher levels of reality and spirituality, which included developing virtues like patience, love, poverty and others.
The most famous of these orders is the Mevlevi order founded by Rumi, the 13th century poet who was born in Afghanistan and is buried in Konya, Turkey. This order features the "whirling dervishes" who revolve in a circle - individually and as a group - as part of their meditation on God.

In today’s #apaperaday, Prof. Aartsma-Rus reads and comments on the paper titled: Muscle histological changes in a large cohort of patients affected with Becker muscular dystrophy.
Today’s pick for today is by Ripolone et al in Acta Neuropathologica Communications on muscle histology in Becker patients. Doi 10.1186/s40478-022-01354-3
Becker muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations allowing production of partially functional dystrophins. These do not fully prevent muscle fiber damage during contraction. Becker patients have inflammation, necrosis, de- & regeneration & replacement of muscle by fibrosis & fat.
The disease is very variable in age of onset and progression which makes clinical trial design challenging. Here authors share results of analysis of biopsies of 45 Becker patients who are recruited into the Italfarmaco Givinostat clinical trial.
Becker patients were 19-62 years old and symptoms started between age 2 and 40 years. Cross sections were made of 45 Becker and 15 control biceps muscle biopsies and stained and analyzed by blinded operators (very good!)
Compared to the healthy biopsies Becker biopsies showed more variability in fiber size (while the mean size did not change). The muscle fiber area was reduced in Becker, while there was more fibrosis and more centrally located nuclei. Fat was observed in biopsies from 9 patients.
There were more fibers expressing embryonic myosin heavy chain (regeneration sign) in Becker biopsies. Authors divided patients in mild, moderate & severe groups based on histology. Patients expressed 10-78% dystrophin. Levels did not correlate with histology or function.
There was a correlation between muscle fiber area & functional outcomes. Authors performed principal component analysis (which parameters contribute most to an outcome?) showing fat, fibrosis & low muscle fiber area contributed to worse function.
Very nice work. Authors discuss that because these were patients fulfilling inclusion criteria for a trial their cohort is limited. However I applaud the authors for sharing the baseline data. Looking forward to more data of the trial.

Trying to change your winter closet and refresh it for spring, you come across many issues which require clarification. You have a difficulty in deciding which of your outfits to keep and which to throw away. Below we present the best and worst fashion trends for 2015, which should definitely be taken into consideration.
1. Outfits in geometric prints are no more among the best trends for 2015. They seem outdated and aren’t recommended for everyday wearing. Instead, you should replace them with psychedelic printed clothes, which will give you a glamorous touch for the coming season. They will be your key to a bold and an intrepid look both in the street and at a party.
2. Forget about tailored trousers which appear in a cropped form and substitute them with flared outfits, such as trousers and blouses. Tailored trousers worn with ankle boots and a cute blazer aren’t considered stylish any more. While flares are enlisted among the best trends for 2015 if paired with right accessories. Flares will make you look striking and shocking for any party.
3. Though single earrings adorned the models’ ears on the runways of the fashion shows and were represented in real life, as well, we can’t regard them as one of the trends for 2015. Instead of accentuating your look with single earrings, opt for layered necklaces and look a bit bold and super stylish.
4. Moto jackets gave way to suede jackets for 2015. Though leather jackets are quite alluring and comfortable when paired with stunning dresses pointy heels, you are advised to skip rocking them for the coming season. Instead, you had better follow the latest trend and pull off suede jackets in any length. Team them with wide-leg trousers and a leather handbag for a complete look.
5. If you crave for wearing one of the best trends for 2015, look for platform heels. Pull off either shoes or sandals with platform heels and stay away from ultra feminine pumps with dagger heels. To emphasize your slim legs, opt for platform heels with straps over your ankles and enjoy your bewitching look.
Find out what are the best and worst trends for 2015, and decide which of them causes more excitement to you and which one you would like to follow or skip. The coming spring is the best time to experiment with amazing trends and stay away from the worst ones.
