Need to add a new money transfer recipient, or make changes to someone you've sent a payment to in the past? Don't worry—it's easy with Xe.
2021年7月8日 — 3 min read
When making an international payment, perhaps the most important detail is the payment’s recipient. Having all of the beneficiary’s details ready to go is crucial to ensure that you can quickly make your payments and they will go straight to their destinations without any delays.
Managing your money transfer beneficiaries within your Xe account is quick and simple. You can add in the information when you begin the payment process, or you can add them in ahead of time. Here’s what you need to know about manging your recipients.
Before you can manage your recipients, you’ll need to be logged in to your Xe account.
If you don’t have an account, don’t worry. Signing up for an account is a simple, straightforward process and can be completed in a few minutes. If you want to know more about the process, you can take a look at our guide here.
Once you’ve signed into your account on Xe.com, you’ll see a “Recipients” section on the home page. Just head into that section, and you’ll see a list of every recipient that you’ve added thus far, along with the option to add a new recipient.
If you plan on sending money to the same person or entity multiple times in the future, their information will be securely stored here, where you can quickly select recipients (without needing to re-enter information every time you send money to them).
There’s no limit to beneficiaries either; you can add and manage as many recipients as you need.
Once you’ve entered the recipient center, you’ll be prompted to provide information about your recipient. Having this information on hand and ready to go will ensure that your payments won’t face any delays.
You’ll need to enter:
The currency they’ll be receiving
The country their bank is in
Whether or not the account is a business account
Their bank account number
Their bank code (this will vary by country; examples include an ABA routing number in the United States and a sort code in the United Kingdom)
Their bank name
Before you can enter this information, you’ll be asked if you’re sending money to yourself. If you want to exchange currency to send to one of your own accounts in another country, this is an option. In that case, you would just answer “Yes” to the question “Are you sending money to your own account?” and provide your own information to the prompts above.
Has one of your recipients changed their details? Good news—you won’t need to completely add them again. You can quickly update your existing recipients with any new details.
From the Recipients page, click on the recipient whose details you’d like to change, enter in your updates, and save these changes. You can also delete recipients if you don’t plan on sending money to them in the future.
Keep in mind that if you change a recipient’s details or delete them from your list, that won’t change the details of any open transactions with this recipient. If you have a payment in progress and you need to make a change to anything, please contact us as soon as possible.
Do you have a payment coming up? Get a head start and enter your recipient information ahead of time to make the process quick and simple when it comes time for transfer.

According to a Canadian psychology professor, Rodney Schmaltz, heavy metal music can help promote scientific thinking in the classroom.
In a recently published article in the open access journal Frontiers in Psychology for their series, “Novel Approaches to Teaching Scientific Thinking: Psychological Perspectives”, Dr. Schmaltz states his claim.
“While heavy metal music may not be something typically covered in an introductory psychology textbook, there are many useful resources from this area of popular culture that can help promote scientific thinking in the classroom. From hidden messages in JUDAS PRIEST‘s music to SLAYER being accused of inciting murder, heavy metal music has a long history of unique instances that are directly related to psychology. By incorporating examples from the world of heavy metal, educators can discuss scientific thinking in a way that is engaging and memorable for students.,” says Dr. Schmaltz.

Natural plant extracts that react with proteins (skin, Albumin, Gelatin, etc.) to form insoluble degradation resistant products, such as Leather. Tannins have been used for several thousand years, especially in China. Most vegetable tannins fall into two general classes of vegetable tannins. One is catechol and the other is pyrogallol. Catechol tannins contain an organic phenolic compound(s). Examples are cutch, Quebracho, hemlock, Gambier, and willow. Pyrogallol tannins contain Pyrogallic acid. Examples include chestnut, Oak bark, Myrobalan extract, and Divi-divi.

On June 19, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a one-sentence order declining to review an appeals court decision that refused to enforce an arbitration agreement entered into between a retailer and some of its employees. The decision was a setback for WLF, which urged the Court to grant review. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) establishes, as a matter of national policy, that courts should enforce agreements that future disputes between the contracting parties should be settled by arbitration, not by a judicial proceeding. However, California courts have repeatedly resisted Supreme Court orders that they abide by the FAA. In this case, a California court ruled that suits filed by employees against their employers under the State’s Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) are exempt from the FAA’s mandate. WLF’s brief argued that the exemption for PAGA lawsuits effectively nullifies the FAA in the context of employment-related arbitration agreements.

Middlesbrough’s Dundas Arcade is now home to The Little Vegan Market, the first business to be established by Charlotte Bottomley and Matthew Wilson.
Having been devoted to the vegan lifestyle for years, the couple are making it their mission to help those who may struggle to find vegan products in stores by making plant-based food products more accessible.
The vegan supermarket stocks a variety of food and snacks – including milk and meat alternatives – as well as zero-waste cleaning products, with customers encouraged to bring their own containers.
Wilson decided to go vegan after reading about China’s Yulin eating festival online, in which dogs are cooked eaten by the public. After he came to terms with his shock, he wondered why there wasn’t a similar outrage about eating other animals such as cows as the only difference between the animals is peoples perception.
Speaking to The Northern Echo about his decision to open a vegan supermarket, he said:
“When we first turned vegan, there was not much available in the area, we had to go all over to find shops with vegan food and ordered a lot online.
“It was difficult and we are passionate about veganism so wanted to make it easier for others. It’s a lifestyle that is good for the environment, good for your health and good for animals – ultimately, this is about helping animals.”
The store is located at Middlesbrough’s Dundas Arcade, and is open from 9am until 5pm Monday to Saturday.

Online Event: The urgency to step up climate adaptation action
June 1, 2021 @ 10:00 - 12:00
Tuesday 1 June 2021, 10:00 – 12:00 CEST
Hosted by MEP Miapetra Kumpula-Natri
and MEP Maria Spyraki
Co-chairs of the European Parliament Intergroup on ‘Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development’
Climate change is one of the greatest threats facing humanity, with potentially devastating impacts on people, the environment and the economy. Reducing our carbon footprint is therefore crucial. But despite our best efforts to reduce emissions, climate change will take place, and is already underway as shown by the increasing frequency and severity of climate and weather extremes.
The new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change “Forging a climate-resilient Europe”, adopted on 24 February, sets the scene for more ambitious action on climate adaptation, both domestically and internationally. The objective of the strategy is to progress swiftly toward the 2050 resilience vision by making adaptation action smarter, more systemic, and faster. Research and Innovation is going to be crucial for delivering this vision, in particular through the Horizon Europe Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change, including societal transformation.
This Mission will become a key implementation action of the Strategy through its three objectives:
- better preparing Europe to manage climate risks,
- supporting 200 communities and regions in designing a vision and innovative pathways and testing innovative solutions, and
- up-scaling innovative solutions and implementing up to 100 climate resilience deep demonstrators.
It is essential to have the full support of local leaders and civil society they represent for successful implementation of both the Strategy and the Mission. Therefore, the European Commission (DG CLIMA and RTD) and the EP Intergroup have joined forces to organise a discussion on the critical success factors and key enablers for the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change and the Mission Adaptation with MEPs and other stakeholders, including ways for mobilising national, regional and local engagement and ownership.

8.2kW Solar Panel Installation in Victoria BC
These Victoria residents had their solar system installed in September of 2019 and within the first two months of it being online they saw a credit on their electricity bill. But that wasn’t the main reasoning behind their choice to go solar. For them the choice was an environmental one. “We wanted to reduce our carbon footprint.”
They had already purchased an electric vehicle, so installing a 24 panel, 8.2kW solar system on their home seemed like the next logical step. “We’ve had many people ask us if there was a grant available,” says the homeowner, “but we tell them that even though there wasn’t, sometimes you have to do something because it’s the right thing to do.”
Feel free to reach out for a free no-obligation consult.

Saratov Circus im. Nikitin brothers description and photo - Russia - Volga region: Saratov. Detailed information about the attraction. Description, photos and a map showing the nearest significant objects.
Photo and description
Saratov Circus is the first stationary circus in Russia. It was founded in 1876 by the Nikitin brothers, artists and entrepreneurs. And although history tells that not long before that the Nikitins built a circus in Penza, it is generally accepted that it was Saratovsky that was the first. Prior to this, performances were held in temporary tents with the approval of the city police chief, in a strictly designated place and only for a few fair days.
Saratov became the founder of the Russian circus thanks to the activities of the three Nikitin brothers: Dmitry, Akim and Peter. In 1876, they built a round wooden building resembling a tent, with the sign "The First Russian Circus of the Nikitin Brothers". In 1921, Saratov, like the entire Volga region, was seized by famine. The circus artists and animals were dying of hunger and cholera, but did not stop giving performances. Having survived all the hardships and hardships, the wooden building is completely dilapidated. In 1928 it had to be demolished.
In 1931, a new stone circus building was erected according to the project of B.S. Vilensky (designer of the VDNKh pavilions and several metro stations in Moscow). From 1959 to 1963, the circus was reconstructed, the premises were enlarged, the facade was changed. But only in 1998, after a major overhaul on the 125th anniversary of the Saratov circus, the building was named “Saratov circus im. brothers Nikitin ".

Of the many communication theories associated with mass media, agenda setting remains one of the most relevant ones. However, it is important to note that the agenda setting theory has greatly evolved over the past thirty years since its first conception. In recent years, McCombs has encouraged the convergence of agenda setting theory with several other communication theories including gatekeeping and priming as explained in this Unit, as well as cultivation and spiral of silence and, more importantly, framing. The convergence between agenda setting and framing has resulted in what McCombs has called a second-level agenda setting theory.
The basic premise of framing theory is that the manner in which the media present an issue to the audience influences the manner the audience receives, interprets and processes this information.
Framing theory in the field of communications takes its roots from Erving Goffman’s work Frame Analysis: An Essay on the Organization of Experience. A framework takes an experience from someone’s life that would otherwise be meaningless and makes it become meaningful.
In the context of agenda setting, framing signifies that the media do not only tell an audience what to think about but also how to think about that issue. McCombs terms this addition second-level agenda setting.
McCombs designates the two levels of agenda setting as object level and attribute level. The original formulation of agenda setting as the process by which the media tell the audience what to think about has to do with the object level.
The items that make up an agenda are objects. These objects often consist of issues, public persons, organizations and policies, among others. Each object possesses several attributes which contribute to describing and defining it. The media spotlight certain attributes, downplay other attributes and even ignore some attributes. The emphasis placed on some attributes instead of others will influence how people view an issue. In this sense, the media tell people how to think about an issue.
Agenda Setting In The Digital Age
In terms of technological innovation and progress, we are currently at a moment of unprecedented phenomena in the world of communication and media. The boundaries between media users and media producers are blurring on the Internet, especially with blogs and video-sharing sites such as YouTube. It has also never been easier for people with an Internet connection to assess nearly unlimited sources of information. These changes, brought about by the new technology, challenge our traditional understanding of agenda setting.
Today people with an Internet connection can seek out the sources of information of their choice and ignore other sources, including the traditional media. This new and increasing habit lessens the media’s role in agenda setting. In this sense, Kurt Lang’s and Gladys Lang’s concept of agenda building might become more appropriate. Members of the general public, the media and the government all contribute to setting the agenda.
The Internet also provides a platform for alternative opinions, voices and sources that would not figure in the traditional media. This again challenges the role the media play in setting the agenda. An educated media consumer will not simply rely on the news presented in the newspaper or on the radio and the television. S/he can easily search online for other news sources at both the object and attribute levels.
In recent years, a new practice has emerged. It is nearly the reverse process of the traditional agenda setting. On several occasions an issue first raised by an individual or group online through a blog, forum or social media has influenced the news presented by traditional media. In this case, the online media producers have been more successful than conventional media in setting the agenda. This new profile of media producers can be anyone as long as that person has Internet connectivity and access to a computer.

Q: I often experience coughing, choking, or food getting stuck in my throat during meals. What is wrong? How can I fix this?
A: Speech-Language Pathologists can evaluate and treat swallowing difficulties. Untreated swallowing difficulties can cause pneumonia, breathing problems, choking, malnutrition, dehydration, weight loss, mouth infections, or dental cavities.
At Rainy Lake Medical Center, we offer two different types of swallowing evaluations;
-Clinical swallowing evaluations are a non-instrumental swallowing assessment to observe behaviors associated with swallowing. The speech-language pathologist collects background information, completes an oral-motor examination, and observes the patient eating and drinking a variety of foods and liquids.
-Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies are a diagnostic test, using fluoroscopy or a moving X-ray of the swallowing tract, to determine the nature and extent of a wide range of swallowing disorders. This allows for detailed analysis of the swallowing process and helps to plan behavioral swallowing therapy. These studies are performed jointly by a radiologist and speech-language pathologist.
After the evaluation process an individualized treatment plan is created, which can include,
-Exercises to improve swallowing muscles
-Modification of body positioning during and after meals
-Strategies to improve the safety of the swallow
-Adjustments to the rate, volume, and method of eating and drinking
-Changing the consistency of foods and liquids
Talk to your doctor is you believe you need a swallowing evaluation.

Latest Chrome Beta for Android reduces data usage by half
The last time we reported about Chrome Beta for Android we were excited to show how Google’s popular browser can be modified to render pages in full-screen mode. This time, users with heavy mobile data usage are in for a treat: Chrome 26 Beta adds a new experimental feature that makes use of Google’s proxy servers to optimize web content, thereby saving bandwidth.
The reduction in data usage is made possible by Google’s utilization of its own proxy servers, which phones running Chrome mobile establish a connection with and transmit HTTP requests. The proxy servers then pass on the request to the target resource, performs content optimization, and finally sends back a lighter load to the phones.
Being in an experimental state, the data compression feature is disabled by default. Users who want to try it may do so by visiting chrome://flags and choosing Enable Data Compression Proxy. In-house testing by Google has shown that the compression can conserve as much as 50% of data as well as boost loading times when browsing the Internet on a mobile connection. Users can check the bandwidth savings themselves by going to chrome://net-internals and then clicking on Bandwidth.
The optimization is only applicable for normal connections. Secured ones provided by HTTPS and navigating through Incognito browsing sidestep the optimization proxy. On the other hand, a Google account is not necessary to access the feature.
Made available shortly after the stable version of Chrome 25 for Android has been released, Chrome 26 beta (26.0.1410.26) can be downloaded at the Play Store. Besides the data compression feature, the update also comes with a couple of fixes and improvements, such as synchronizations for passwords and autofill. According to the Chrome Releases blog, the password sync won’t be ready until after a few days and will only work with Chrome 26 or higher.

It was close to twenty years ago that I sat in my first personal finance class, learning how to invest money I didn’t have for a “retirement” that seemed inconceivably far away.
It was my first year at the academy. And the government thought it appropriate to ensure that its future Army officers had sufficient acumen to manage their finances.
Their sage advice back then was to buy stocks, hold for 40-50 years, and then rotate into bonds.
(Funny how the government’s finance class encouraged us to buy government bonds.)
The idea was to build wealth through stocks, which conventional wisdom tells us will increase in value.
Then, generate stable income from government bonds, which are “safe” and provide much needed supplemental income for retirees.
It’s become clear to me over the years that this story is completely wrong.
The belief in finding safety by loaning your money to a bankrupt government that has no hope of ever repaying its debts is completely ludicrous, especially given that their interest rates are either negative or well below the rate of inflation.
For anyone that has the courage to look beyond the mainstream, there are a number of much more profitable and stable asset classes available to grow your wealth and generate income.
1. Private Businesses
Private businesses are almost unparalleled in wealth creation, and can offer superior risk-adjusted returns to anything out there in public markets.
I’m not talking about investing in tech startups trying to find the next Google (though investing in startups can also provide outsized, risk-adjusted returns).
I’m talking about acquiring shares of more mature, privately held businesses.
These would typically be medium-sized companies that have a 20+ year history of generating profits.
There is a limited market for these opportunities (as there usually is for any great deal). But they do exist.
Business brokers around the world often list these types of companies at between two and four times their annual earnings.
This means that it’s possible to generate a 50% return on your investment. And if you have skills or access to management that can grow the earnings, the returns can be even higher.
Mature businesses with long operating histories may even qualify for bank financing, thus reducing the amount of upfront capital you need to purchase the business.
I’ve been involved in a few of these deals myself where banks have stepped forward to provide most of the financing necessary to buy a mature business based on the company’s long-standing operating history.
In comparison to loaning money to a bankrupt government for a one-percent annualized return, this strikes me as a no-brainer asset class to consider.
2. Royalty streams and intellectual property rights
Royalty streams and intellectual property rights are another unconventional asset class to consider.
This can include anything from patents to songwriter credits, to income streams from privately held mines or oil wells.
Given the weakness in commodity prices this market is starting to become much more attractive from a value perspective, particularly if you have a long-term outlook.
Some friends of mine own the website RoyaltyExchange.com, a platform where royalty owners for film assets, patents, mineral rights, etc. are auctioned off to investors.
In one recent deal for songwriter credits, a $15,000 annual royalty stream sold for less than $29,000.
I have another colleague who holds book copyrights through his Individual Retirement Account to generate tax-deferred royalty income.
One of my personal favorites is agriculture.
Understandably most people won’t be able to achieve the size and scale of necessary to run an efficient agricultural corporation.
But even on a small scale, agriculture works. Apple trees have outperformed apple stock for 30+ years.
It’s hard to imagine you’ll be worse off for having a small organic garden or planting some fruit trees in your backyard.
Not only will you be putting real food on the table, but with an investment of just a couple of dollars you could substantially increase your property’s value.
Last but not least, the most important investment I believe anyone can make is an investment you make in yourself.
For anyone looking to secure greater income and wealth, there is no substitute for real education: business education, financial education, and the development of important skills.
To generate $1,000 in monthly income through conventional investments, for example, you’d have to buy $674,000 worth of US government treasuries based on today’s bond yields.
Or you could invest a tiny fraction of that to learn a skill that makes you more valuable at work or in the marketplace.
This is one of our main focuses in our annual youth liberty and entrepreneurship camp.
Each summer we spend an intense five-day workshop developing critical skills, business education and financial education, guided by some of the smartest, most successful people I know.
It’s free of charge for those who are accepted.
We’re just about to open up the enrollment window, if you’d like to find out more about how to apply to our Liberty and Entrepreneurship camp, click here.

Internationalisation of companies
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union all conditions and principles for doing business in the area have changed. The shift from a planned economy to a market economy is connected with rapid and basic changes in political, social, economic and technological conditions. The Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia andLithuania are going through a gradual transition and the decrease of central economic power leads to the liquidation of state monopolies. The markets of the Baltic is giving great opportunities for Western European companies since the Baltic is a good springboard to the more Eastern European markets, which consists of over 400 million possible customers.The Baltic countries is not a homogeny group, they have different language, culture and history. Western European companies need to be aware of this facts if they are going to become successful with their establishments. The Western European companies choose different entry modes in order to fulfil their international ambitions. The entry mode signals to host governments and to competitors the companies ambitions in the hostcountry. For the majority of companies the most significant international marketing decision they are likely to take is therefore how they should enter new markets. The purpose of the study is to explain how foreign companies strategies theoretically match the Baltic countries strengths and weaknesses and what kind of entry modes provides a good match between the investor´s strategy and the local attractiveness.

BIOTREE- Biodiversity research on native tree species in different planted combinations - location in the middle of Germany.
Kaltenborn near Bad Salzungen is one of the three sites of the BIOTREE research project
Description & History
The area covers an area of 20 hectares, which used to be a military training area and is now divided into 16 sub-areas that have been reforested - "the research forest of tomorrow".
The areas were reforested with native tree species, but in different mixtures with changing numbers of species. There are areas with only one species, so-called pure stand, but also areas with 2, 3, 4, up to 8 species. In these areas, each tree species is planted in groups of 8 x 8 meters.
In addition, part of the area is used for an experiment where all tree species are planted mixed, so that all have different neighbors and competition among them can be explored.
Dominant species might suppress some or all of the other tree species in the different mixes.
Tree growth and wood increment are measured regularly, but parameters such as nutrient leaching and groundwater recharge rates are also recorded.
Tree species: Picea abies (spruce), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas fir), Quercus petraea (sessile oak), Fagus sylvatica (beech) and as secondary tree species Abies alba (silver fir), Fraxinus excelsior (common ash), Acer pseudoplatanus (sycamore maple) and Sorbus aucuparia (rowan). When the plants were planted in winter 2003/2004, they were 3-4 years old and 20-60 cm high.
The project is financed by DEGES and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry - the responsibility of the project lies with Prof. M Scherer-Lorenzen, University of Freiburg.
The meteorological station was set up in November 2003 by our department (Field Experiments and Instrumentations Group).

Modern education has many interesting forms and dimensions, from classical to non-standard, but at all times and everywhere, it has always focused on human development, expanding horizons of knowledge of the world and awareness of the place of man in the living world.
Our project is not an exception too, which will devote a significant part of its efforts not only to educational issues in the dimension of modern Orientalism, international relations or the development of expert lines in economic relations between Europe and Asia. First of all, the idea of European Center of Oriental Humanities & Asia Business Development (ECOHAB) is closely connected with the spiritual development of humans, their expression of will in search of original forms of thinking for the realization of their most cherished dreams and plans.
The project is international and will work in the languages of international communication, but it is a fundamental contribution of Ukrainian Orientalistics, which will gladly share selected and best traditions of cultivating deep mutual understanding and respect for Eastern cultures, and invites partners from all over Europe to join the project integrating to the world environment of relations with the East in the 3rd millenium of the Common Era.
The work of the Center mainly focuses on 3 main areas:
– applied educational work in deepening and strengthening existing in Europe training programs for young professionals and economically active population;
– ensuring the cooperation of European entrepreneurs, institutions and citizens through development lines of partnership with difficult to understand countries of the East.
– creating new opportunities in the context of identifying and realizing the promising potential of creative people.
And, of course, we are happy to invite outstanding talents and people of the path connected with the East to support their cause. We will work closely with educational institutions, relevant institutions, intergovernmental organizations and centers influential for the world economy, as well as associations of entrepreneurs, scientists and art circles and centers of cultural diplomacy.
We will pay special attention to supporting people’s health and health care in general. In particular, for 5 years we have been supporting the world-famous reproductive medicine of Ukraine, gynecology and pediatrics, helping couples from all over the world to become not only parents but also to overcome both infertility and a number of diseases, not only the reproductive system of women and men. A separate section of our work is devoted to the topic of preserving life and ecology of welfare in the 21st century.
Let our ties become stronger with each step, let the decisions be more moderate, and on all roads of integration of the values of the European society in the global context be accompanied only by common success!

What is the bisector formula?
According to the angle bisector theorem, PQ/PR = QS/RS or a/b = x/y. An angle bisector is a line or ray that divides an angle in a triangle into two equal measures.
What is the rule for bisecting angles?
The Angle-Bisector theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side into segments that are proportional to the other two sides.
Can a plane bisect a line?
In geometry, bisection is the division of something into two equal or congruent parts, usually by a line, which is then called a bisector. In three-dimensional space, bisection is usually done by a plane, also called the bisector or bisecting plane.
How do you write a bisector?
Investigation: Constructing an Angle Bisector Draw an arc that intersects both sides. Move the pointer to the arc intersection with the horizontal side. Make a second arc mark on the interior of the angle. Repeat on the other side.
What is bisector math?
bisector. / (baɪˈsɛktə) / noun maths. a straight line or plane that bisects an angle. a line or plane that bisects another line.
What are bisecting lines?
To bisect a segment or an angle means to divide it into two congruent parts. A bisector of a line segment will pass through the midpoint of the line segment. A perpendicular bisector of a segment passes through the midpoint of the line segment and is perpendicular to the line segment.
What does angle bisector mean in math?
Definition: A line which cuts an angle into two equal halves. In an angle bisector, it is a line passing through the vertex of the angle that cuts it into two equal smaller angles.
Where can the perpendicular bisectors of?
The perpendicular bisectors can intersect inside a triangle, on a triangle, or outside of a triangle. It all depends on which type of triangle you are constructing the perpendicular bisectors. The point where the perpendicular bisectors intersect is called the circumcenter .
What is angle bisector formula?
Bisector is not anything but the two lines to be bisecting to every other at the angle of 90 degree. Formulas for bisectors: Step1: slope formula with two points Formula. Slope = `((y2-y1)/(x2-x1)) ` units. Step2:The slope of the bisector. = – `(1/(slope ))`.
What is definition of angle bisector?
Angle Bisectors. The angle bisector theorem states that if a ray or segment bisects an angle of a triangle then it divides the two segments on either side proportionally. Common proofs of the angle bisector theorem include using similar triangles, Ceva’s Theorem, Side-Splitter Theorem, and the Alternate Interior Angle Theorem.

The novel coronavirus and accompanying economic downturn have taken a significant toll on households, businesses, and institutions of higher education nationwide. In response to the pandemic, payments, interest charges, and collection efforts for most federal student loan borrowers were paused at least through Sept. 30. But once this pause expires, many borrowers will have to navigate personal financial challenges and a confusing federal student loan repayment system.
A look at how student loan borrowers fared during the Great Recession—which officially ran from December 2007 through June 2009—can help policymakers understand the novel coronavirus’s potential impact on repayment outcomes. With that downturn, much of the increase in student loan delinquency occurred after its technical end and as the economy was recovering. For example, the share of student loan payments at least 90 days late decreased slightly from about 8% in 2007 to 7.3% in 2009 before jumping to 10.3% in 2013. This trend contrasted with other forms of consumer debt in which delinquency rates declined as the economy rebounded. Part of the increase in delinquency may be related to the surge in enrollment and subsequent borrowing among adult students who attended for-profit and two-year schools following the onset of the past recession.
Policymakers also benefit from understanding the paths that borrowers took before experiencing financial distress. Pew worked with researchers at the Research Triangle Institute to examine data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Survey 2004/2009 cohort—a U.S. Department of Education dataset that tracks first-time, full-time students from the time they enter higher education in 2004 through 2015—and highlight differences in borrower outcomes for those who entered repayment from 2004-07 before the Great Recession and those who entered during and immediately afterward (2008-11).
This analysis indicates that borrowers who enter repayment during a recession may experience problems repaying their loans more quickly than those who begin in stable economic periods. As policymakers prepare to restart student loan repayment, they should ensure that the system is prepared to help all borrowers get back on track.
Borrowers who entered repayment during and immediately after the Great Recession defaulted on their loans or paused payments more quickly than borrowers who entered in prior years.
The median borrower who entered repayment from 2008 through 2011 and defaulted on their federal student loans did so after about 31 months of repayment. That’s six months sooner than those who had entered repayment between 2004 and 2007 and then defaulted. Both groups include borrowers who graduated and those who did not complete their programs. Borrowers in the 2008 through 2011 cohort who sought economic hardship deferments also did so more quickly after starting repayment than those who entered repayment from 2004 through 2007. (See Figure 1.)
Borrowers Entering Repayment During the Great Recession Defaulted or Paused Payments More Quickly
Time until first default or hardship deferment for those who entered repayment between 2004 and 2007 or between 2008 and 2011
|Median time after entering repayment until:||2004–07||2008–11|
|Default||37.5 months||31.3 months|
|Economic hardship deferment||38.8 months||12.0 months|
Source: Analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Education’s Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study. Time until forbearance or other types of deferment than those for economic hardship are not viewable in the data.
The comparatively faster timelines underscore how recessions can affect borrowers’ experiences with the repayment system. The faster time to default for the 2008-11 cohort suggests that loan servicers may need to assist a surge of borrowers once repayment resumes. It also highlights the importance of making sure that servicers are well-staffed and ready to help borrowers.
Borrowers who had payments paused during natural disasters also experience difficulty when starting repayment again.
The pandemic pause for most federal loan borrowers is similar to the government’s response to recent natural disasters. For example, the Department of Education offered an emergency forbearance to borrowers hurt by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Once this forbearance expired, delinquency rates increased as borrowers transitioned back into repayment. This increase was likely caused partially by the job losses that occur following natural disasters. Another reason could be related to borrowers changing addresses and losing touch with their servicers.
In addition, as students shift to part-time status or drop out because of disasters, some may enter repayment before completing their degrees and struggle with making payments. With similar shifts occurring over the past year, policymakers should track college completion and movement to part-time status as they prepare to restart repayment. Data from the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters suggesting that undergraduate enrollment is down could signal future increases in delinquency and default if students with loans do not re-enroll and complete their degrees.
Income-driven repayment plans may help borrowers avoid default, yet many still have trouble accessing them.
Today’s borrowers have access to improved income-driven repayment (IDR) plans that did not exist during the Great Recession. Yet many borrowers who could benefit from IDR plans struggle to access them. In a Pew survey this spring, two-thirds of borrowers (67%) with paused payments said that it would be somewhat or very difficult to afford their payment within the next month. The same survey found that about one-third of borrowers were repaying their loans in IDR plans, but Pew focus group research shows that many find enrolling—and staying—in these plans challenging. In addition to problems with accessibility, some borrowers said they saw IDR plans as unaffordable for their financial circumstances.
Before repayment resumes, the Department of Education should make sure that the student loan system is prepared to help those borrowers most likely to encounter difficulty. For example, the department and servicers should provide intensive, targeted outreach to borrowers who struggled before the pause, and servicers should be allowed to temporarily enroll borrowers into IDR plans without requiring extensive paperwork.
In addition, Congress and the Department of Education should consider automatically extending the pause for borrowers who miss payments immediately after it expires. That move would give borrowers more time to manage their finances and servicers more time to reach them. Finally, longer-term policy changes to improve IDR, including the implementation of the Fostering Undergraduate Talent by Unlocking Resources for Education (FUTURE) Act, are also needed.

Publicly traded petroleum multinational Equinor is moving to significantly reduce natural gas flaring by mining cryptocurrency, according to screenshots from Equinor’s intranet received by Arcane Research Friday.
- A new strategic partnership will see the firm implement Denver, Colo.-based Crusoe Energy Systems’ digital flare mitigation technology.
- This converts waste natural gas that would be otherwise released into the atmosphere into electricity at the well site.
- The operation will harness outflow at Equinor’s operations on the Bakken oilfield in North Dakota.
- “Historically, industry’s options for reducing flaring have been limited to costly measures like new infrastructure development or shutting in production,” reads the memo shared internally at Equinor.
- Crusoe’s digital flare mitigation “offers a win-win alternative for producers and investors alike,” it continued.
- "Mining cryptocurrency requires a lot of electricity to power computers, while a valuable commodity is wasted, and carbon emissions are created when we flare," said Lionel Ribeiro, manager sustainability at Global Unconventionals at Equinor. "By connecting these inverse pains, we can satisfy both needs with no cost to market expense."
- In December 2019, the originally bootstrapped Crusoe announced $70 million in funding for expansion of its innovative flaring solutions.
- The round was led by Bain Capital and joined by Founders Fund, Winklevoss Capital and Polychain Capital.
- Before partnering with Equinor, Crusoe already operated flaring systems in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
- Equinor is a state-owned multinational based in Norway and ranked as the 11th largest oil and gas firm globally.

A potentially critical role played by an unknown gene that is responsible for the regulation of metabolism have been revealed by a supermodel mouse type, that may provide insights into obesity and diabetes.
The Supermodel mouse's phenotype - the physical characteristics that result from its gene makeup - include being very small in size, with an unusual body form caused by abnormal distribution of fat, said Dr. Zhe Chen, Assistant Professor of Biophysics, and Dr. Bruce Beutler, Professor of Immunology, with UT Southwestern's Center for the Genetics of Host Defense. The mouse phenotype is nicknamed "Supermodel."
"This mouse is important because it has revealed a new regulatory protein that's very important for normal metabolism, but was never known to exist before," said Nobel Laureate Dr. Beutler, Director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense. "The implications of the work may be felt in and obesity research, the study of wasting in chronic disease, the study of muscle cell function, and perhaps other fields."
"Whereas many heritable obesity phenotypes are known, lean phenotypes are comparatively uncommon. Yet they can reveal critical checkpoints regulating energy balance," the researchers said.

On Friday, February 6, I attended bitten: a food conversation – a conference in SoHo that focused on the exciting culture of food, featuring thought leaders and entrepreneurs that shared their stories and ideas for the changing food industry.
While each speaker brought a unique perspective on the industry of food today – from restaurants to food trucks to products to media – one key message rang true throughout the day’s presentations: food is a universal, common connection that is evolving with our culture, and becoming an increasingly important part of it.
Chef vs. Home Cook: the gap narrows as chefs take on other roles
Anthony Bourdain wrote in his book Kitchen Confidential that the idea of a “celebrity chef” baffled him because most chefs chose the career because they were introverts wanting to hide behind a kitchen. However, that book was published in the year 2000 and Bourdain is now more much more a media personality than chef. Speaker Dorothy Cann, founder of the International Culinary Institute, recognized this change by saying “A chef’s place is as much outside the kitchen as it is behind the stove.” A culinary revolution in the 70s took chefs from blue collars workers and turned them into a face for charity events, and then with the foundation of the The American Institute of Wine & Food, chefs became artists worthy of both press and high honors.
So while chefs take on celebrity status and public relations gigs, the ones responsible for their popularity, their fans – the home cooks – have become an educated audience. To this I can relate – I am a twenty-six year old food blogger with no formal culinary training going to a conference on food and eating up every word these industry professionals are saying. Companies like Plated make it easy to cook with high quality ingredients from the comfort of your home, and as co-founder Nick Taranto explained, they aim to fix the broken American food supply chain system one plate a time. And for those of us not fortunate enough to inherit cooking skills, popular demand has solved for that as well. Speaker Lisa Gross founded The League of Kitchens, enabling anyone to take cooking classes from immigrant local grandmothers – young home cooks learning simple meals from experienced home cooks, which would otherwise be too humble to serve at a restaurant.
And with this desire to learn comes a demand for better, innovative food, including some laser focused specialty brands. Trevor Nelson of investment firm Alliance Consumer Growth says the food movement is driven by consumer awareness and consciousness about what we are eating and has led to more availability of alternatives. “Change happens when consumers vote differently with their money,” he said, and this could not be more true as we watch the changing landscape in New York. Eric Demby, founder of Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Flea, brought small time food vendors and outlet to showcase their products once a week at a food flea market. By cutting out the NYC real estate, Smorgasburg enables talented entrepreneurs to bypass this barrier of entry and turn a hobby into a business – culinary training or none.
Culinary media: print, digital, and experiences
America’s obsession with media is no different when it comes to food – when we aren’t watching chefs on TV we are talking about food in every medium and social outlet. Musicians Chris Stang and Andrew Steinthal started their restaurant review blog, The Infatuation, after friends were constantly asking them for restaurant recommendations. They describe it as an outlet for people who are really serious about food but don’t take food so seriously – and their audience is growing. They mention their popularity on Instagram but admit, this doesn’t bring traffic to their site – people just love to see beautiful images of food. And it is for that reason that food photographer Daniel Krieger not only takes beautiful pictures for cook books, but also established a one-man brand by offering his services to restaurants who pay him to post to his 112,000 Instagram followers. (I am one of them.) It’s why food stylists like Claudia Ficca are so important – not only for sourcing and preparing the perfect ingredients, but for arranging the food for the camera in that perfect mouth-watering way. The importance of the camera in relation to food is undeniable.
While the panelists agree that the importance of digital is essential to what we consider “new media”, print is still not dead. Cook books will continue to be irreplaceable, even if there is a strong shift to digital and mobile. Peter Meehan started the food magazine Lucky Peach and considers his platform “old media,” although considers the message “new”. Regardless of the venue, Helen Hollyman of the website Munchies expresses food media today is about bringing unheard voices into the food channel.
And if the platforms seem endless, both traditional and digital, innovators encourage us to continue to think differently about food. If chefs have become artists in the kitchen, artists like Emilie Baltz feel that food is a universal language and allows one to experiment with the senses. Peter Kim takes this to the next level with his construction of the Museum of Food & Drink, a food museum opening in New York City. Food is not only a profession, a hobby, a medium – it will soon be an experience.
Food is a Community
Carolina Santos Neves, who runs two restaurants (and catered the event), brought the idea of the dinner party to her restaurants to make people feel at home and comfortable by never kicking anyone out – diners are free to stay 90 minutes or longer. The sense of “community” was an important element to their restaurant scene, so much so that they were willing to sacrifice turnover (and profits).
Beyond the local restaurant is a desire (and a environmental need) for sustainable products but also for products that are socially responsible. Alexis Miesen explained how Blue Marble Ice Cream not only manages the Brooklyn-based ice cream shop, but also opened a location in Rwanda to create a place for the community after the genocide, and employ and empower women while also supporting local farmers and producers. Their second project opens soon in Haiti.
Makena Cunningham of charity: water (a non-profit I have supported) emphasized the power of marketing, especially at her company where they have a $0 marketing budget. She showed a video that tugs at your emotions, encouraging the audience to get involved without making potential donors feel guilty.
Whether it’s bringing immigrants together with locals to learn traditional dishes like in The League of Kitchens or connecting businesses in America with causes across the globe, the desire to connect communities extends well beyond the dinner table.
This year, Michael Whiteman of Baum + Whiteman says food trends vary according to what publication you read, but he predicts the rise of “restless palate syndrome” where both chefs and consumers crave a “cacophony of clashing flavors.” Bitter chocolate opened the door for us (and our palates) to consume more edibles like broccoli rabe and arugula. He predicts fresh horseradish to be the next big “bitter” food. He also sees the merging of cocktails and desserts, and palates shifting from sweet to savory (e.g. vegetable ice cream). He calls this the “unruly food era that breaks all the rules of cooking school and knows no boundaries” and recognizes experiments like cricket flour (more on this in the next section) but also hybrids like kimchi burgers and tuna wasabi Mexican nachos.
Chef Carolina Santos Neves reiterates this, saying the magic is in the mix of the ingredients and admits that “nothing is too crazy of an idea” for their restaurants.
Product and Supply Chain Innovations
In addition to taking social responsibility, equally as important is environmental responsibility. Mike Lee, creator and predictor of the Supermarket of 2065, feels that this is the future, rather than a trend, and his fellow speakers present innovating products and technologies that support this. Lee first presented a product concept of a fictitious sustainable snack called “Crop Crisps” that takes crop rotation into account so that no two flavors are available at the same time.
Meanwhile, new sustainable super foods are already emerging, although it’s hard to say which will take off and which will be a temporary sensation. John Foss founded the Chia Company by taking the farmer’s market concept of knowing where food is throughout the supply chain and wanting to take it global and providing the world with a seed rich in Omega 3 and protein.
But if chia isn’t your style – how about crickets? Gabi Lewis and Greg Sewitz founded Exo, a company that makes and sells products made of cricket powder. They claim bugs are the protein of the future because they are uniquely sustainable and are high in nutrients. While we may think this is disgusting, they remind us that 50 years ago sushi was considered a disgusting new food as well. As for the taste, they brought samples and I can say the peanut butter and jelly protein bar tasted like … a regular protein bar.
But of course we don’t think meat will become a thing of the past. Andrew Forgacs, co-founder of Modern Meadow, says “the future is cultured, not slaughtered,” presenting a mind-boggling technology that will grow meat. He explains that it’s unnecessary and not environmentally responsible to raise and slaughter the whole animal when we can simply take cells from that animal and then grow the cells into meat that we can eat (or leather that we can wear). Not only does it leave the animal unharmed, it’s better for the environment and is nutritious. He explained cultivating food isn’t new – we do it with wine and beer already – it’s just an extension of that idea.
And while this had the vegetarians sitting behind me saying, “Hm, I guess I could technically eat that,” there are major technological advances in growing vegetables as well. AeroFarms, co-founded by David Rosenberg, is growing plants without soil or sun, and with more nutrients, in half the time. By only using the spectrums of light plants need and stripping out what they don’t, pests become blind to the plants, eliminating the need for pesticides. Additionally, by oxygenating the roots, there is no need for soil, and they are able to stress the plant to produce more antioxidants. He calls it “engineering horticulture meets data science” and they are already building the largest vertical farm in the world in Newark, NJ.
As the process of growing vegetables is being revolutionized, we already see a shift in how we purchase them. With the popularity of farm shares and CSAs, Benzi Ronen founded Farmigo, a way to solve the problem of demand from consumers, and supply from farmers, by building a network of locals that order produce weekly directly from the farmer (like a CSA with more control).
While these innovations may or may not catch on, how and what we eat in the future will surely change, and that comes with the need for change in our food system. Being more responsible with how food is produced is equally as important as how it is consumed. Bill Yosses calls himself a “recovering pastry chef” after retiring from the White House kitchens. But after working closely with Mrs. Obama to educate children with tours of the White House vegetable garden, he has taken on a whole new mission of educating children here in New York City and opening them up to the science of food, hopefully with the result of getting them to eat better. Education is a key element to the changes in our culture that need to happen, as well as those already taking place.

Cloth merchants and weavers
Where does the fabric for your next tailored suit come from? Here we present traditional weaving mills and fabric dealers who have made a name for themselves with quality and standards. Come to one of our branches and convince yourself of the cloth collections of these suppliers by touching and looking at them.
The Italian weaving mill was founded by Fernando Imparato in 1920 – it is still managed today by the Imparato family, now in its fourth generation. Based on the outskirts of Naples, Ariston weaves all fabrics entirely in Italy. Unlike the big Italian competitors, the fabrics are made from new wool, mohair, silk, cashmere, cotton and linen in rather small editions. The Ariston collections are characterized by individuality, passion, competence and tradition.
Bradford in the English county of Yorkshire was one of the country’s most important textile cities in the 19th century, along with Huddersfield and Halifax. The Bateman Ogden fabric trading company was founded there in 1881 and still offers only top-quality fabrics from English production today. His speciality, then and now, after more than 130 years: luxurious worsted fabrics for men’s suits and coats. Customers all over the world use Bateman Ogden’s fine materials.
The first documented mention of the Vitale Barberis Canonico weaving mill dates back to 1663, and it has had its current company name since 1936. Located in Biella, the heart of Italian textile production, the company is one of the top Italian addresses for fabrics. Best quality in all areas is the motto – from the finest raw wool to the finished precious cloth. The focus is on classically elegant fabrics for day and evening wear. As one of the few fabric manufacturers, Barberis does not manufacture its own clothing.
The small family business on the Isle of Lewis still weaves by hand on a loom that is more than 90 years old. The two weavers, who produce the fabrics alongside father and son, can look back on more than a hundred years of weaving experience. To weave a bolt of 60 meters, it takes them four days in the traditional way. You can see the quality of the noble fabrics: lambswool, shetland wool, cashmere and vicuna are woven into light tweeds that are loved all over the world.
Not a weaver, but a fabric dealer: Drapers Italy specializes in exclusive fabrics for men. All materials are made from natural raw materials and come from renowned weavers in Italy and Great Britain, who manufacture the fabrics exclusively for Drapers Italy. The family business was founded in 1956 in the heart of Bologna by the experienced fabric dealer Arturo Lolli. Today his son Domenico runs the business in the new headquarters on the outskirts of Bologna.
It all started with fabrics – the family business now manufactures a huge range of products in the fashion segment. In 1910 Ermenegildo Zegna went into his father’s weaving workshop, called the company Lanificio Zegna and thus laid the foundation for the famous luxury brand. Men’s clothing has been offered since 1968, four years later tailored suits were added. When it comes to fabrics, Zegna has specialized in high-quality wool, mohair and cashmere, with the cashmere fabrics in particular being of outstanding quality.
The brand was created in the late 1960s from the merger of the well-known English wool merchants J&J Minnis and John G. Hardy. The latter founded his company around 1890 in the capital of the British textile industry, Huddersfield, and is considered the first Englishman to make Scottish wool socially acceptable in the south. His specialty, Alsport tweed, inspired the royal family so much that the Guards Division wore his tweed from 1929 and the brand was soon allowed to bear the title of Purveyor to the Court.
Harrisons of Edinburgh
Sir George Harrison began his career as a tailor’s apprentice in Edinburgh before founding Harrisons of Edinburgh in 1863. Today, three other companies combine under the name: Porter & Harding, H Lesser and Lear, Browne & Dunsford. The head office is in Exeter, the heart of the English wool industry. As a result of the merger, there is a large selection: the high-quality range extends from elegant suit fabrics to rustic tweeds.
Holland & Sherry
The history of British fabric merchants Holland & Sherry dates back to 1836. It was then that George Holland and Frederick Sherry opened their first store on London’s Bond Street. Since 1982, the company’s headquarters have been located on Savile Row, the famous street of tailors; More than 20 fabric manufacturers are now united under their name. Wool and silk are their specialties, and in the search for ever finer qualities, Holland & Sherry also finds rarities such as Super 200 and Vikunja worsted fabrics.
John G Hardy
See Hardy Minnis
The northern Italian company Loro Piana holds the world record for the finest spun wool fiber. Every year they buy the “Record Bales”, the finest wool from Australia and New Zealand, in order to weave exquisite cloths. Founded near Biella in 1924, Loro Piana is today the world’s largest cashmere manufacturer and largest retailer of the finest wool. The range of fine vicuna fabrics is also outstanding. Clothing and accessories were added to the range in the 1990s. The company has belonged to the French luxury group LMVH since 2013.
Magee of Donegal
In 1866, John Magee opened a fabric shop in Donegal, Northern Ireland. There he sold the hand-woven tweeds that were made at home by local fishermen and farmers. From 1900 weavers were hired to produce the now classic materials: herringbone, salt and pepper looks – all dyed with vegetable dyes found in the Irish countryside and still used in production today. After the Second World War, Magee of Donegal also began manufacturing clothing.

It is a problem, this faraway little Gulf of ours. A few years ago I modified its name, I started to call it the Persian-American Gulf, but it is getting harder. The population is shifting. The princes and potentates in their little kingdoms have now imported a majority of the non-Arabic and non-Persian speaking population from South and Southeast Asia and claim it should be called, no, not the Gulf of Bengal……….. Could it be the Gulf of Mercenaries, as I suggested a year or two ago? Gulf of Wahhabis, heaven forbid? How about the Gulf of Salaf? Gulf of Foreign Military Bases? Gulf of Tribal Sectarianism?
- For example, the little oppressed repressed robbed sectarian island of Bahrain is now nearly sinking under foreign bases:
U.S Naval Base Gulf HQ – Saudi Military Base post the Spring of 2011 invasion – Even the old British colonial masters have not stopped helping the ruling gangs in their robbery and repression. They are starting a new military base – Add to all that assorted imported mercenaries/interrogators and torturers from Jordan, Pakistan, Syria (former security), Iraq (former Baathists), among other foreign places. With an occasional obscure idle English prince and princess or two paying visits to shore up the kleptocratic autocratic outpost.
- Little rich Wahhabi power Qatar where 90% of the population is temporary foreign laborers (mainly South Asian housemaids raising the kids and keeping house):
U.S. Central Command has its regional headquarters at the Al-‘Adeed base – It is now also the Muslim Brotherhood HQ (outside Turkey) – Now reports say that Turkey, under its new Ottoman Caliph Sultan Recep Erdogan, will also establish a military base in Qatar. So, the Ottomans are coming back, with a new sultan. Which might indicate that the on-again-off-again sisterly relations with the fellow Saudi Wahhabis may be heading up the proverbial ‘unsanitary creek’.
- United Arab Emirates (UAE, where some 90% of the population is composed of imported foreign laborers and housemaids), ruled by a Band of Brothers who own Abu Dhabi (lock, stock and barrel). I think it has:
British base – French base – Canadian base (sorry, it was closed over a commercial dispute) – Colombian mercenary military base (no, not FARC) – (Former) Blackwater mercenary force: mainly South American, South African, Australian, etc- Actually I have lost track: for all I know even Monaco or Vanuatu may have military bases in Abu Dhabi by now.
But I don’t have anything against friendly military bases. They can be a protective measure that started with Saddam’s Baathist brutal invasion of Kuwait in 1990. But I suspect they are not only aimed against Iraqi dangers anymore, and not only aimed against the mullahs in Iran, but probably also needed not-so-secretly to keep the sisterly Wahhabi princes next door at home. The princes are only a few tanks’ drive away, as the unhappy people of Bahrain discovered in the Spring of 2011.
As well as the dangers that may emerge from the troubles in Iraq/Jordan/Syria. Dangers that were largely created and financed by wayward Persian Gulf Islamist groups and some princes. As well as some unsettled tribal issues and risks that Gulf GCC states have experienced (attempted Saudi-backed coup in Qatar in 1998) and others may be experiencing.
Still, a Turkish military base in Qatar? But why not? After all there is a Saudi Wahhabi base in Bahrain. The Muslim Brotherhood Turkish base in Qatar could balance that.
But there is still the same nagging question that won’t go away for me: whoever the hell heard of a country welcoming a Turkish military base?

By: Dr. Will Brooks, Ed.D
I’ve been involved with firefighters and the stress reactions they experience for over 25 years, so the recent trend to using the PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) term for all manner of stress reactions causes me concern. There is no doubt that firefighters and other first responders do sometimes experience PTSD. It has been my privilege to listen to several first responders who could be accurately diagnosed with PTSD.
However, recent articles and “studies” purporting to be seeing PTSD in groups of firefighters are alarming in the use of rates for this diagnosis. A quick sample of these efforts indicates ranges from 17-24% of a cohort of firefighters who could be said to have PTSD.
Please listen to the excellent BBC broadcast dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This 18-minute review, in my mind, puts the matter in a much clearer frame.
As well, I suggest reading Dr. Jacinthe Douesnard’s recent Canadian studies on the psychological health of firefighters. (Note: The website was created in French, but the Google Chrome browser will automatically translate the page’s text). She recently presented to the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs and her work suggests a 1% rate of diagnosable PTSD in firefighters. (Dr. Douesnard has also authored a book on the subject of her research, The Emotional Health of Firefighters, that is available on-line from the Quebec University Press).
In both the above cited cases, rates of PTSD vary between 1 and 3%, a far lower number than that noted in the second paragraph. How could this be explained?
In the late 70’s through the 90’s and even to the present there has been the wide spread adoption of stress as it occurs in response to what became known as a critical incident. Critical Incident Stress (CIS) and its management became quite prevalent in first responder communities, and in many it still thrives.
But something shifted. The Middle Eastern wars in which both the U.S. and Canada have been engaged, rained down a continuous exposure to critical incidents and ongoing trauma. Unlike their civilian counterparts who could be involved in Critical Incident Stress Debriefings as needed, our military members had very few ways to carry on Critical Incident Stress Management given the potency of stressors and their continuous nature.
As we have learned from our veterans, there was a demonstrable lag between psychological injury and any type of diagnosis or treatment. Despite the lag, however, our media and some military institutions began to recognize PTSD as a real entity. Because it was very slowly acceptable for members exposed to combat to suffer from PTSD, the label was adopted quite widely. There was no diagnostic criteria for CIS, only PTSD, in the 1980 edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) published by the American Psychiatric Association. Thus, if a member had any type of stress reaction or affective disorder, it was frequently presumed to be PTSD.
In my own experience, clinical depression continues to be the prevalent issue for firefighters. It can be part of the constellation of reactions to trauma and a diagnosis of PTSD, but often it is a stand-alone illness. The tragedy of a suicide is all too real among first responders. It could be said that some suicides occur in people with diagnosed PTSD, but many more arise from the unremitting horror of depression, the cause of which might not be any traumatic event at all.
Again, let me repeat, PTSD can well be an accurate diagnosis in first-responders. But when the term PTSD is ubiquitous and synonymous with any stress reaction, its usefulness and accuracy is questionable. If the term PTSD is used in a specific firefighter’s situation, let’s be sure that the person has been accurately diagnosed by a competent mental health or medical practitioner and that the criteria for PTSD as outlined in the latest edition of the DSM have been met.
The human mind under all types of stress is a remarkable and complicated entity. Human beings have numerous ways of dealing with the stresses they experience. Firefighters are like other humans, and they cope in ways about which, often, we know very little. It is no surprise to learn that firefighters experience both varying stresses, some extremely toxic and traumatic, and yet they display coping mechanisms which not only work but are effective and result in the individuals continuing to function both on and off the job.
And let us continue to employ Critical Incident Stress Management in the most robust programs available where and when possible. To do less is possibly to short change our people and pave the way for more complicated mental health issues, e.g., an accurate diagnosis of PTSD, down the road.

Retrotope Announces Completion of Enrollment in Phase 2 Study of RT001 in Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
Company Exceeds Target Enrollment in Less Than Six Weeks; Data Readout Expected by End of 2021
LOS ALTOS, CA – April 21, 2021 – Retrotope, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel, first-in-class therapies for degenerative diseases, today announced that enrollment has been completed for its multicenter Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating RT001, the company’s lead development candidate, in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease). The study’s enrollment target of 40 patients was exceeded in less than six weeks, highlighting the high demand for participation in the trial featuring a novel treatment approach for ALS. Based on this rapid patient enrollment, Retrotope expects data from the trial to be available by the end of 2021.
“Patients living with ALS are in need of new and improved treatment options for this devastating disease,” said Caroline Ingre, M.D., Ph.D., head of the ALS Center at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and a clinical investigator for the ongoing RT001 ALS study. “This trial enrolled very rapidly due to the enthusiasm of ALS patients for a new potential treatment with a unique mechanism for combatting this disease. We look forward to assessing the results of this investigation later this year.”
The Phase 2 trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RT001 in patients with ALS. Study participants have been randomized to receive either RT001 or placebo daily for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial is change from baseline in the revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) at 24 weeks. Several additional secondary and exploratory endpoints will also be evaluated to further elucidate the efficacy and safety profile of RT001 as compared to placebo.
“The global ALS patient community remains in desperate need of effective treatments for ALS. Clinical trials like the ongoing study of RT001 from Retrotope, are essential if we are to significantly impact ALS progression or symptoms,” said Ammar Al-Chalabi, Ph.D. FRCP, professor of neurology and complex disease genetics at King’s College London and director of the MND Association-funded King’s MND Care and Research Centre.
RT001 is a clinical-stage isotopically stabilized, synthetic linoleic acid (LA) discovered and developed with Retrotope’s novel platform technology. This platform is designed to combat the oxidative stress and cellular degeneration that arises from lipid peroxidation (LPO). While all healthy human tissues undergo this physiological process of cell degeneration and repair, it is well-established that a wide range of serious degenerative diseases are precipitated when the LPO process becomes out of balance. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which make up cell and mitochondrial membranes throughout the body and are vital to healthy cellular function, are the target of the LPO process due to their inherent instability. Free radicals in the body exploit the instability of PUFAs to trigger chain reactions that drive LPO and the resulting degradation of these vital PUFAs. Retrotope’s novel platform technology creates stabilized PUFAs, such as RT001, that become an integral part of all membranes and are capable of down-regulating LPO in order to protect membranes from degeneration.
RT001, which is currently being evaluated in clinical trials across several neurodegenerative diseases, has been safely administered orally on a daily basis to more than 100 patients, spanning more than 1,000 patient months. This includes the company’s initial clinical research on RT001 in ALS, which comprised treatment of 23 patients for up to 24 months and demonstrated both safety and potential signs of disease slowing. Retrotope seeks to build upon these promising initial data in ALS with its ongoing Phase 2 ALS trial.
“Retrotope is grateful for the confidence shown by investigators and patients for this clinical trial of RT001 to treat ALS. We believe that the interest of the ALS community has been driven by the existing unmet medical need and the unique attributes of RT001,” said Mark G. Midei, M.D., Retrotope’s vice president for medical affairs. “These include RT001’s ability to prevent the oxidative stress and cellular degeneration that arises from lipid peroxidation, all of which appear to play a role in the fundamental degenerative processes involved in the onset and progression of ALS. Furthermore, as an oral drug, RT001 offers patients significant convenience and administration advantages over other potential treatments that require injections or infusions.”
For more information about the study, including a list of trial sites and contacts, please visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04762589).
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, progressive neurodegenerative disease that primarily involves the nerve cells, or neurons, that are responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements such as walking, talking and chewing. ALS and its related disorders are caused by the gradual degeneration of motor neurons, which are responsible for controlling communication between the brain and muscles responsible for voluntary movements. As these motor neurons deteriorate, communication between the brain and these muscles is impaired, leading to difficulty for patients in performing voluntary movements. As the disease progresses, voluntary muscle control becomes more and more difficult for patients, leading to an inability to breath on their own and ultimately death. There is currently no cure for ALS and no effective treatment to halt, or reverse, the progression of the disease.
Retrotope is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of first-in-class therapies for degenerative diseases ranging from orphan neurodegenerative indications to large market degenerative conditions. The company leverages its proprietary drug discovery platform to create novel, disease-modifying drugs designed to combat the oxidative stress and cellular degeneration that arises from lipid peroxidation (LPO). It does so through the creation of isotopically stabilized synthetic versions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that trigger the downregulation of the LPO process. The company’s lead development candidate, RT001, is a clinical-stage isotopically stabilized, synthetic linoleic acid (LA) that is in development for a range of orphan neurodegenerative diseases, including infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). In addition, the company is advancing its second development candidate, RT011, an isotopically stabilized, synthetic docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), toward the clinic for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

There are lots of superlatives about Indonesia, the largest population in Oceania, the country with the largest Muslim population, the country where Firefox has the largest market share among all desktop browsers…
The last item is why we visited Jakarta and Bandung on Java, Indonesia’s most populous island. We interviewed eleven pairs of parcipants across a diverse socio-economic and educational range. We wanted to learn how and why Indonesians overwhelmingly use Firefox. Further, we wanted to learn if some of those motivations could be transferable to other markets in the region.
Below are five of our initial observations from the amazing experience we had in Indonesia. I’m also sharing some images from my photo diary to show some facets of daily life in the major cities.
Why Firefox in Indonesia?
As for Firefox’s merits over other browsers, there were several beliefs (both objectively true and not) that our participants expressed.
From our participants and community members we heard, Firefox is:
- More “comfortable” because everyone is so familiar with it,
- People started using Firefox in Internet cafes when they first starting getting access to the Internet,
- Recommended by a trusted friend or colleague,
- Faster as an application because it is more responsive and uses less data,
- Easier to download videos from YouTube (because streaming is nearly impossible),
- More efficient for online gaming,
- More secure from viruses
For these reasons, people love Firefox. Indonesians also love the fox (never underestimate the power of cuteness).
Over the past few years, mobile internet technology and laptops have become more affordable to Indonesians and many now live more and more of their lives online. Consequently, local, independent Internet Cafes (aka Internet Warungs or Warnets) are falling out of favor as the preferred means to access the internet. Wifi and wired connections are affordable only to the upper-middle and upper classes, so most people still need to access the internet by some other means. For most Indonesians, some form of smart phone (or increasingly, a tablet) is the primary means of accessing the internet for tasks such as email and social activities. For more work-oriented tasks, many Indonesians use a laptop or desktop, but this is only for specific tasks related to what people consider “work.”
Poor Internet Infrastructure (for the Moment) for Most Indonesians
Access is frustrated by poor connection speeds and unstable connections. As a North American or Western European, you likely have had the experience of using a dodgy connection in an airport terminal or at a cafe that drops constantly. It takes seemingly forever to download your email or it’s almost impossible to stream a short video. For most Indonesians, the overwhelming majority of their wifi and cellular data connections are this frustrating and more. Every person we interviewed (even the wealthier participants) listed poor internet connectivity as their primary frustration. Any technology that promises increased speed and a reduction of data to transfer is desirable.
Downloading is not always a Means to Update Software
We know from our metrics that about half of Indonesians use some other version of Firefox other than the current version. Poor access speeds make it difficult to download updates…so most people don’t. Versions 3.6, 12, 15, and 18 are the most commonly distributed versions on pirated installer DVDs that the vast majority of computer resellers use to install software. Most users we interviewed don’t update from the version that comes installed on their computer. Running the current Firefox version was strongly related to access to a reliable, fast connection. Reliable, fast connections exist in the following situations:
- An institutional environment such as a university or school where Firefox is widely installed,
- An office or corporate environment where Firefox is deployed,
- An upper-middle to upper class household that can afford a wired connection,
- Possibly one of the remaining internet cafes
Ecommerce and Internet Activities are Stymied by Infrastructure and Institutional Distrust
The internet provides a means to conduct common activities but the infratstructure and a culture of corruption make it difficult. Some participants bank online, paying bills, and managing accounts (but as one participant said via SMS and not the browser). Many participants clamor to conduct their daily chores and activities online such as the ability to pay utility bills directly or purchase train tickets online. Indonesians distrust shopping online because they fear their financial information will be stolen. Further, participants told us that they cannot trust that their goods will be delivered without being stolen in transit or hijacked by a corrupt customs official demanding a bribe. Finally, receiving receiving goods and services can be challenging because of a lack of clear addresses and incomplete infrastructure.
We will be sharing more extensive information and recommendations in the coming months about Indonesia and also our experiences in Thailand. I want to thank my colleagues who came to Indonesia: Holly Habstritt, Bram Pitoyo, Margaret Schroeder, and Gavin Sharp. Their participation and insights helped to make the project hugely successful. Stay tuned.

ELISA methods differ in their sensitivity. The detection step involves using specific antibodies that have high affinity for the analyte of interest. In sandwich ELISA, the antigen is captured directly on the plate surface or by binding to a pre-coated antibody. This step determines the sensitivity of the ELISA method. There are some advantages and disadvantages to each of these methods. We discuss these in this article.
ELISAs are commonly performed in 96-well polystyrene plates. The polystyrene plate immobilizes the proteins and antibodies. The immobilization of the reagents facilitates the separation of bound and unbound materials. ELISA is a powerful tool for measuring specific analytes in a heterogeneous sample. This article will briefly outline the steps involved in this method test.
The ELISA method test is a common and reliable way to measure the levels of a specific molecule. However, it is important to note that it is not a foolproof test. You should consult with a physician to understand the implications of the test results. For example, the test for viral RNA could be positive or negative, depending on the antigen used. A false positive result may indicate that you do not have the infection, but your doctor will explain these results to you in detail so that you are aware of the risks involved.
ELISA assays are typically performed in a polystyrene plate with 96 or 384 wells. The immobilized reagents make the test easy to perform. They include a monoclonal antibody coat. IgG is the preferred antibody, as it is conjugated, which means that it is less likely to interfere with the results of other proteins. The specific antibody is then added to the plate, where it binds to the protein of interest.
A quantitative ELISA test may be desirable in certain environments, especially when the test is intended to identify the total concentration of a given drug. However, it may be unfavorable in others, as the full standard curve occupies valuable wells. ELISA assays rarely yield 100% accuracy. False positives and false negatives are common. To test for these, toxicologists can screen forensic samples. In addition to blood and urine samples, ELISA testing is useful for screening for the presence of drugs of abuse and other substances.
Sandwich ELISA tests require a second detection antibody. This test is less sensitive than a direct ELISA, but has more steps. In contrast, indirect ELISAs are a good choice for complex antigen mixes. In addition to food testing, it is also useful for diagnosis, vaccine development, toxicology, and transplantation. Its use is increasing, and its sensitivity is improving. If you're using an ELISA, be sure to choose an ELISA method test that will provide the highest quality results.
ELISA tests are used to measure concentrations of various analytes in samples. They are usually conducted in 96-well microplates, where an enzyme-labeled antigen or antibody is used to capture the target molecule. The microplate may be contaminated after detection, you can use a plate washer to clean the residues. These tests produce a colored end product whose color corresponds to the concentration of analyte in the sample. Once the sample is analyzed, the results are presented as numeric values.
The ELISA test is a common procedure for assessing the level of the steroid hormone progesterone in a patient's blood. Progesterone is a female hormone, and it is essential for maintaining a pregnancy. Women also take synthetic progesterone for various gynecological conditions. This enzyme immunoassay kit is non-radioactive and safe to use. Patients should consult with a doctor or nurse before undergoing this test.
A 96-well microplate is coated with a monoclonal antibody that has high specificity for progesterone. Small volumes of serum or milk are used as test samples. After washing off the excess enzyme conjugate, a substrate is added. The colour of the plate changes in inverse proportion to the amount of progesterone present. This test can be performed on a variety of species, but it is not species specific.
An ELISA test has a high sensitivity and specificity for P4. The ELISA kit consists of 32 antibody-coated microwells, 3 ready-to-use standards, and a buffer solution. It measures P4 concentration in a single drop of serum or plasma. The results of an ELISA test are compared with the values reported by a physician or a vet, which helps the patient decide which treatment is best for her.
The 'on-farm' progesterone testing protocol was successful in reducing the number of mistimed inseminations. In the control group, 22% of ovulations did not coincide with insemination. In the experimental group, this rate was higher than the rate for the control group. The cost of the test was lower than the benefits of the oestrus detection.
Progesterone levels are also helpful in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy or luteal phase defects. Oral contraceptives, superovulatory drugs, estrogen replacement therapy, GnRH analogues, and ovarian function may affect serum progesterone levels. However, progesterone levels are not sufficient to diagnose or rule out other problems. A simple home urine progesterone test can be used to detect ovulation and pregnancy.
The EL4 serves as a second screen for activity monitoring devices, as a reliable progesterone test can confirm whether the cow is in or out of estrus. This can improve the accuracy of the activity monitoring and make it more practical. If a woman is experiencing a hormonal imbalance, the EL4 test is the answer. With this test, she will know exactly whether she is in or out of estrus.

The choice of the valuation model is also dependent on the stage of the life cycle to which the company’s operations belong to. Correspondingly, it is easier to apply the models of Dividend Discounting Approaches to mature companies, rather to the start-ups that are characterized by almost negligible dividend pay-outs. A model that is deemed to be applicable in all scenarios is the DCF approach. The model is flexible enough that facilitates its application to various companies in various stages of the life cycle (whether they are dividend paying or not). It is also suitable for companies that have diversified business lines. Yet, the complication lies in its necessity of providing various estimates which are inputted in the model so as to arrive at the values of the true potential of the security. On account of its judgmental behavior, this model yields various estimates as and when it is applied by various analyst groups (Platt & Platt, 2009). This model facilitates to account for the cash flows at various time periods, and is a method aiming at valuation over a multi period time horizon. Besides this, it accounts for cash flows, instead of earnings, which is beneficial as earnings are highly susceptible to manipulation (as was evident in the case of Enron). Cash flows are less susceptible to manipulation and thus provide reliable estimates of the value.
Analysts have also come up with various other innovative models which focus on determining the value of the equity of the company and adding the market value of debt in order to obtain an estimate of the total value of the firm (Security Analysis, 2011). The market value of debt is easily observable from the term structure of interest rates, but the value of equity cannot be ascertained easily. Thus, to improve the accuracy and robustness of the methods of equity valuation, option pricing models are applied in which the equity of a company is valued as per the payoffs of the call option, in which the underlying security is the firm’s asset base and the call option’s exercise price is the value of the company’s debt. Moreover, as analysts aim to value private companies and securities which are not frequently traded, models based on relative valuation approaches are generally used.

Mark Bittman of the New York Times brought us plant-based 4Leaf-ers some good news this week; (See link to article below my signature) he reported that Americans are definitely beginning to eat less meat.
After declining for several years, the Department of Agriculture projects that our meat and poultry consumption will fall again this year, to about 12.2 percent less in 2012 than it was in 2007
Beef consumption has been in decline for about 20 years; the drop in chicken is even more dramatic, over the last five years or so; pork also has been steadily slipping for about five years.
While it may be hard for most of us to detect, given the vast array of meat choices everywhere we go, the numbers don’t lie. But they beg the question, “Why is our meat consumption dropping?” The meat people are blaming the decline on anything and everything — and especially the government. They actually claim that the Feds have been “waging war on meat protein for the past thirty or forty years.” Waging war? Mark took exception to that one and provided the following list of the battle plan of that alleged war on animal protein by our nation’s government:
- a history of subsidies for the corn and soy that’s fed to livestock
- a nearly free pass on environmental degradation and animal abuse
- an unwillingness to meaningfully limit the use of antibiotics in animal feed
- a failure to curb the stifling power that corporate meatpackers wield over smaller ranchers
- and what amounts to a refusal — despite the advice of real, disinterested experts, true scientists in fact — to unequivocally tell American consumers that they should be eating less meat
Actually, Mark, they should be eating no meat, but thank you for your noble effort to shed some light on this miserable topic. Not only is our government definitely not waging war on the meat industry, they are also not telling us that well over 90% of heart disease and type 2 diabetes could be easily, and swiftly, reversed with a whole foods, plant-based diet. They also fail to tell us that most cancers can either be prevented, slowed or even reversed with that same diet.
Mark mentions that “Nowhere does it (the report) mention that we’re eating less meat because we want to eat less meat.” Yes, the word is beginning to creep out ever so slowly that meat is simply not good for us. But since most people consider meat to be beef or pork, they naturally assume that seafood or even chicken is okay. Actually, I was surprised to see that chicken consumption is declining.
So what is driving the decline? It’s great to see that in spite of all that our government is doing to protect our meat and dairy industries, people are beginning to make up their own minds about what is best for them and their families. I would like to think that some of those better food choices have been driven by many concurrent activities:
My top ten list
- The fact that almost one million Americans have read The China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell — a truly eye-opening book that should be in everyone’s home.
- Bill Clinton’s choice in 2010 to switch to an almost vegan diet after reading that book and also the books by Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Ornish on reversing heart disease.
- The publicity for plant-based eating provided by celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah, Chelsea Clinton and a host of others.
- The well-publicized successes of a handful of pioneering MD’s that have been curing patients with broccoli and oatmeal for decades: McDougall, Furhman, Ornish, Esselstyn and others.
- The tireless efforts of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine headed by Dr. Neal Barnard in Washington, D.C.
- The explosive growth of Dr. Campbell’s plant-based nutrition course at Cornell. Actually it’s only administered by eCornell but is managed by his own foundation at tcolincampbell.org. It was dropped from the Cornell curriculum because of pressure from the meat and dairy industries from which they receive enormous sums of money.
- The recent success of the 2010 movie, Forks Over Knives, starring Dr. Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
- The Last Heart Attack special with Dr. Sanjay Gupta that aired several times on CNN in late 2011.
- Thousands of great vegan restaurants springing up across the land — like the Elephant Walk in Boston or the Candle Cafe in New York, where the super cool people are beginning to frequent on a regular basis.
- The tireless efforts by many great organizations like VegSource and authors like John Robbins who have been spreading the good word about plant-based foods for decades.
The bottom line. Things are beginning to move in the right direction. But not nearly fast enough in my opinion. Yesterday, I spoke to a fairly sophisticated group of Rotarians at a club in coastal CT. No one in the room had heard about Bill Clinton changing his diet, The China Study, or the Sanjay Gupta special. No one had ever heard of Dr. Dean Ornish, who is arguably America’s most famous “real doctor,” appearing on the cover of Newsweek in 1999.
After my 20-minute talk, one of the Rotarians led off with the old protein question, for which I thanked him. He is the President of Madison Chrysler in Madison, CT and is now the proud owner of two copies of our book. He also has a 2005 Bentley for sale in his showroom — a cream puff with only 10,000 miles. Ask for Tom, the asking price is only $70,000.
One more thing; you really should take a look at the Bittman article; it’s really quite good. See bold link below.

In light of recent events happening around the world, the topic of guns comes up. Some people want gun control while others want to keep the right to bear arms for protection and safety. People have a heightened sense of security when they have guns. But because of the deadly nature of these weapons, there will always be hot debate. California has among the nation’s strictest gun laws, and a handful were added just this year. Here’s some of what you ought to know.
- Long gun purchasers must be 18 and handgun purchases must be at least 21 years old. Purchasers may only buy a maximum of 1 handgun per month.
- Before receiving their gun, purchasers must pass a universal background check, which will take 10 days minimum.
- Purchasers must pass a written safety test and obtain a Firearm Safety Certificate.
- Every gun will be microstamped, meaning a unique serial number will be transferred to every cartridge case every time the gun is fired. This allows crime scene investigators and police to trace bullets back to the gun owner.
- Assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines are illegal to sell or buy.
- Guns must be sold and purchased through licensed dealers; private sales are illegal.
- No one may carry a gun on school campuses, including those who hold concealed weapons permits.
- If family members believe their loved one, who owns a gun, is dangerous, they can request the police and judge to confiscate the guns for a few weeks. During these few weeks, the gun owner will be evaluated and questioned to figure out the situation and threat.
These gun laws are just the tip of the iceberg; obviously there are hundreds of other laws regarding guns. But this is what you need to know from the beginning if you ever consider owning a gun.
Guns can get you into serious trouble so we at Gilroy Bail Bond Store just warn and caution for safety. If you’re ever arrested for misusing your gun, Gilroy Bail Bond Store may be able to help bail you out of jail.

Ceanothus gloriosus facts for kids
Quick facts for kidsCeanothus gloriosus
Ceanothus gloriosus is a species of shrub in the family Rhamnaceae known by the common name Point Reyes ceanothus. It is endemic to California, where it is known from the coastline of the San Francisco Bay Area and areas north and south. It grows on seaside bluffs and the slopes of the coastal mountains. This shrub grows flat and spreading to erect, approaching two meters in maximum size. The evergreen leaves are oppositely arranged and up to 5 centimeters long, rounded to oval in shape. The edges are toothed, the teeth sometimes spine-tipped. The inflorescence is a small cluster of bright blue to purple flowers. The fruit is a horned capsule about 4 millimeters wide.
There are three varieties of this species:
- C. g. var. exaltatus (glory bush) - found north of the Bay Area
- C. g. var. gloriosus (glory mat) - smaller mat-forming variety known mainly from Marin County
- C. g. var. porrectus (Mt. Vision ceanothus) - rare variety endemic to Marin County in the vicinity of Point Reyes

This website describes drugs for the treatment and management of HIV infection. It also describes some common tests used to monitor the health of people with HIV, and how these tests can be used to make decisions about starting or changing antiviral treatments.
This website is for all people with HIV whether currently on treatment or not, and whether thinking about starting, delaying or changing treatment. It is for people recently diagnosed and for those who have known about their HIV positive status for some time.
The information on this website is designed to help you:
- understand how HIV treatments work, and what drugs are currently available
- understand the different tests which might be suggested by your doctor to help monitor your health
- work with your doctor to come up with the most appropriate HIV treatment and management strategy for you
It also contains some information about:
- drug side-effects and how they might be managed
- tips for getting the most out of your drugs
It is virtually impossible for any single resource to cover all the issues about living with HIV for all positive people.
- prophylactic drugs or treatments for HIV related opportunistic illnesses
- the treatment, prevention and management of specific side-effects
- depression and other mental health and psychosocial issues for people living with HIV
- complementary or alternative therapies
- co-infection with hepatitis B or C
- women, pregnancy, breast-feeding or treatments for HIV-positive children
- injecting drug use and HIV, and
- detailed strategies for choosing a GP
These issues are well-covered by a range of existing publications which are available through AIDS councils and other organisations or online at www.afao.org.au.
The information contained on this site is general. It is not intended to direct you towards or promote any particular drugs, drug combinations, tests or treatments. People respond differently to HIV treatments and combinations, and this is often difficult to predict. All decisions about how you treat and manage HIV infection should be discussed with your doctor. Ultimately, treating HIV is a personal decision. This site aims to take you through some of the options , but in the end they are your choices to make.
Over the past thirty years, there have been significant advances in the way HIV infection is understood and managed. Since the advent of HIV treatment involving combinations of antiretroviral drugs, deaths from AIDS have dramatically declined and people with HIV on treatments can now expect to live an almost normal life expectancy.
There are a number of changes which have led to these improvements:
- we have a clearer understanding of how HIV works inside the body
- the use of the viral load test measuring the amount of HIV circulating in your blood is standard practice in Australia, Europe and North America. The results of this test can inform treatment decisions and show how well the treatments you are taking are working against HIV
- the use of genotyping and phenotyping assays to measure resistance to antiviral drugs and provide an indication of which drugs and combinations of drugs are working
- we have a clearer idea of the short and long-term side-effects of HIV treatments and how to manage most of them
- the drugs currently available are more effective and better tolerated than ever
As good as current HIV treatments are, they are not perfect nor are they a cure, and for some people, deciding to take HIV treatments raises a number of important issues. You may have questions about side-effects, confidentiality, or how treatments will affect your day-to-day life. Under support and services there is a list of AIDS Councils and HIV positive organisations where you can access counsellors and treatments officers who will be able to help you understand what taking combination therapy might mean for you.

By Connor Cigrang, Student Writer
Gone are the days of students having to cram into the small space filled with grunting athletes that used to be Messiah’s weight room. However, even with the new Falcon Fitness Center students are hesitant to visit the gym due to feeling inexperienced or intimidated.
Kevin Ogden, director of the Fitness Center, is a huge supporter of going to the gym to improve your health and seeks to encourage even beginners to step out of their comfort zone.
“We know that 10-15 minutes of exercise can have incredible benefits on mood and energy,” Ogden said.
He highlighted that starting your fitness journey doesn’t necessarily mean doing high-intensity workouts and drinking a gallon of water every day. Individuals should set and work to meet their own fitness goals.
But, how do you set goals and create programs when you have no idea what you are doing?
The Fitness Center’s website has 17 sample exercise programs, accompanied by YouTube videos for each exercise, Ogden explained. Within these, students can find beginner, intermediate and group workout plans.
The Fitness Center also has two student trainers that are available to give students a tour or help them with exercise form.
“It takes away that original, ‘I don’t even know where to go’, ‘I don’t know where to put my stuff’, ‘I don’t know how to turn this machine on,’” Ogden said.
Students looking for a more individualized program can meet with a student trainer who will write an individualized 8-week exercise program. These, however, do have a cost.
“In these programs, we will sit down and talk with you and go over your goals and take into consideration several important factors necessary for a challenging and fun program that will help you achieve your goals,” said Student Trainer JP Marrero-Rivera.
Another option for those uncomfortable going to the gym alone, are the group exercise classes.
These are “inclusive to all people regardless of one’s background, exercise knowledge and fitness level,” Marrero-Rivera said.
There are 10 different classes, including yoga, spin, Pilates and others. There is a one-time $15 fee for participation which gets students into as many classes as they want.
No matter how you choose to get involved at the Fitness Center, Ogden sees not only the physical benefit but also the mental. He mentioned the increase of positive mood and productivity as well as decreased anxiety.
Both Ogden and Marrero-Rivera agreed that the Fitness Center offers something for every student at Messiah. Whether it’s the beginning of your fitness journey, or you’re an experienced athlete, you can always find a way to challenge yourself.
First-year Corum McCuller is new to the Fitness Center but expressed already enjoying the facility and the benefits of going there.
“I think it’s a really well put together weight room with awesome equipment and I feel like it’s a place I can go to get stronger,” he said.

Retinol (or vitamin A) has been a super-popular ingredient in many skincare products for a while now. But what exactly is retinol? And what does it do for your skin? In this blog, Witlof Skincare skin expert Caroline van Eeuwijk tells you everything you need to know about retinol.
What is retinol?
There are different forms of vitamin A and together they are called retinoids. Retinol is one of them and is, among other things, an antioxidant. It is certain that Vitamin A has benefits for the skin, it works against wrinkles, boosts collagen production, and also works well against acne and reduces pigmentation. The cause? Vitamin A causes a strong renewal of the skin.
But why doesn’t everyone reach for vitamin A products en masse? Because these benefits only occur when using high concentrations of retinol and you can only get these on prescription. And that’s necessary, because retinol is highly irritating in such concentrations and can cause side effects that should be avoided.
Natural vs. synthetic?
There’s just one big difference between natural vitamin A and synthetic retinol. Plants, fruits and vegetables, beans and other natural sources are the main are good Vitamin A sources. For example, we use pro-vitamin A, or beta carotene, in our Witlof Skincare products. This is extracted from orange fruits and vegetables, such as sweet potato and carrots which give them their orange colour, but also kale and spinach contain beta carotene. The nice thing about this natural pro-vitamin A, is that it is converted into vitamin A by the body itself. As soon as toxic concentrations are reached, the body stops the conversion process itself.
Synthetic retinol is made through a chemical process and may also contain chemicals that you would rather not have on your skin. In addition, synthetically produced retinol is actually too powerful for the skin. It can therefore be harmful to you in large quantities.
The Witlof Way
Witlof Skincare uses the natural pro-vitamin A, beta carotene. Our skin-renewing products, like the Smoothing Peel, Refreshing Eye Cream, Nourishing Facial Cream and Balancing Toner all contain pro-vitamin A, extracted from ginger.
Would you like to know more about vitamin A? Or are you curious which products are suitable for you? Schedule a free skin consultation with our skin expert Caroline

In kids’ stories, the notion that a young person will realize they are destined for greatness and high adventure is perhaps the most powerful and alluring story ever told. From Star Wars to Harry Potter, children who are really secret royalty or saviors are a famous concept, but arguably, none of these stories would exist without the legend of King Arthur and images of swords being pulled out of stones. The latest heir to that story is the 14-year-old actor Louis Ashbourne Serkis. He plays Alex — the titular kid — in the film The Kid Who Would Be King; a contemporary retelling of the Arthurian legend set in the modern day.
Because Loius’s dad is Andy Serkis (you know, the guy who played Gollum in Lord of the Rings and Ceasar in Planet of the Apes) and his mom is Lorraine Ashbourne, a stage actress, you might think this kid comes from acting royalty. And yet, Loius Serkis is 100 percent his own person. This guy may be the kid who would be king right now, but he’s also a self- depreciating young man who is wise beyond his years.
Fatherly caught up with Serkis just as The Kid Who Would Be King hit home video. And he revealed not only why he’s worn out from fighting with swords, but also which King Arthur book he thinks is ideal.
Did you feel like you had to do a bunch of homework for the part?
Like most people, I knew a bit about King Arthur – but mostly from the film. Then I read
Michael Morpurgo’s Arthur, High King of Britain. Which was really good!
You’re working with Patrick Stewart. Was that weird? Did you care?
We were all quite nervous about working with Sir Patrick, but actually, he was really normal and cool.
Tell me what every kid needs to know about holding a sword. Is it awesome? Is it NOT as
awesome as people think? Learning how to sword fight was awesome – I really loved rehearsing the fights but it was also really tiring. You’ve got to be really fit!
What do you like to read?
I read all sorts. My favorite book when I younger was Goodnight Mr. Tom – another great book from Morpurgo. I have to read George Orwell’s 1984 — for school — but I’m actually really into it
How did you get into acting? Did your parents support it?
Acting started as a hobby, and not totally connected to my parents doing it. It after-school clubs, school plays and that sort of thing. I’ve been playing different characters from the age of nine, but It was a massive break to be cast as Alex in The Kid Who Would Be King. I know I was really lucky!
What would you say to kids who want to get into acting?
I would advise anyone that wants to act to get as much experience as possible. Join theatre groups and do plays. And if you can’t do that you need to see plays and watch films.
What’s the best movie (other than The Kid Who Would Be King!) for people your age?
I’ve watched Hunt For The Wilderpeople about ten times.
Pretend you’re 30. The Kind Who Would Be King is getting remade. Are you down to do
I’d definitely come back and play a cameo if there was a remake. I’d serve Merlin the chicken shop.

Risk and return are two dimensions of investment performance. Investors tend to focus on return, with little regard to the risk involved, while they should look at the risks along with the return. There are many risk-adjusted return ratios, and their performance measures assess the performance of investments in terms of return per unit of risk.
Mutual funds periodically communicate their performance in a document called factsheet. There are a few fund tracking entities providing such information as well. In a typical mutual fund factsheet, investors see return disclosed for different periods of times i.e. since the inception of the fund, last 10 years, last five years, last three years, last one year, etc.
Factsheets also provide information of various measures of risk such as standard deviation and Beta. Standard deviation is a measure of the total risk, while Beta is a measure of market risk. In addition to return and risk, factsheets provide information of some risk-adjusted return measures such as Sharpe Ratio and Treynor Ratio. These risk-adjusted performance measures assess the performance of a fund in terms of return per unit of risk.
Sharpe Ratio calculates the fund’s return in excess of the risk-free return and divides the excess return by the portfolio’s standard deviation. The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of relative performance. It enables investors to compare across investment opportunities. Higher the Sharpe Ratio, better is the ‘Reward to Variability’. A fund with a higher Sharpe Ratio in relation to another is preferable as it indicates that the fund has generated better return for every unit of risk.
Treynor Ratio is computed by dividing a portfolio's excess return, by its Beta. Like Sharpe Ratio, it is a measure of relative performance. The Treynor Ratio is also known as the reward-to-volatility ratio.
Sharpe and Treynor ratios are used for ranking mutual funds. Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation of return as the measure of risk, whereas the Treynor Ratio uses Beta (systematic risk). Since the denominator of the Sharpe ratio is a different measure of risk than the Treynor Ratio, it is possible that the ranking of funds on the basis of Sharpe ratio differ from the ranking of the funds on the basis of Treynor Ratio.
Though for a well-diversified portfolio, the two measures would give identical ranking, because the fund would have mostly the non-diversifiable market risk, for a poorly-diversified portfolio, the ranking based on the Treynor Ratio could be higher than that of the Sharpe Ratio. This is because the Treynor Ratio ignores unsystematic risk. Thus, any difference in mutual fund rankings based on these two ratios is due to the difference in the level of portfolio diversification.
In such situation investors have to make a choice between the ranking given on the basis of the Sharpe Ratio or the Treynor Ratio. The thumb rule in the market is that the Sharpe Ratio is more suitable to evaluate the mutual fund’s performance for an investor who has not achieved adequate diversification on their wealth as a whole, and the Treynor Ratio should be used for investors who hold their wealth in well-diversified portfolios.
Given the limited cognitive ability, investors are bound to get confused if the ranking of mutual funds is different on the basis of these two popular ratios. However, when it comes to various kinds of equity funds in India, investors need not worry on this account. The table below shows the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (SRCC) between the ranking of various equity funds on the basis of Sharpe and Treynor measures.
Spearman's correlation coefficient measures the strength and direction of association between two ranked variables. The value of the coefficient lies between +1 to -1. Plus-one (+1) indicates a perfect association of ranks, zero indicates no association between ranks, and -1 indicates a perfect negative association of ranks. The table below gives the correlation coefficient between the ranks assigned on the basis of Sharpe and Treynor ratios.
Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient For Equity Funds
*Data for calculation is for three-year period
It is clear that there is a close to +1 correlation coefficient across the categories of funds chosen. This shows that whether these funds are outperforming their benchmarks or not, they are ranked almost the same on the basis of both the ratios.Given that investors are rationally bound, it is a good news. This means that there is no ranking conflict — which means that is one less thing to worry about while choosing a fund.

James is a WWI enthusiast. When he writes he tries to paint a picture in the readers' mind rather than tell a story.
A Soldier Writes Home
Wartime Letters Home
Although Soldiers in the trenches were allowed to send letters home to their loved ones, the letters that they sent were heavily censored by the Ministry of Defence, details of where the soldier was stationed were deleted as were details of any movements that the soldier was involved with, letters home were often unreadable because of the censors.
Families of the soldiers liked to know where there husbands, sons, brothers or fathers were fighting and before they left to go to war would come up with little codes between them that the soldiers could write in their letters to let their loved ones know where they were fighting.
A soldier would maybe write home citing a memory of a family trip to Blackpool letting his family know that he is in France, the Blackpool Tower he mentions in his letter would be the family code word for the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Although the censors very quickly became aware of family codes and began to censor them too the codes became even more complex and a lot of families knew where their fighting man was simply because of the first letter of the first word in the letter.
"Being away from my home and family is breaking my heart" B would mean the soldier was stationed in Belgium.
Censoring A Soldiers Letter
An Uncensored Letter Home
For the purposes of this article the letter written below will be uncensored and it will be written from a married soldier to his wife and children, although based on reality the writer of the letter is a fictional character and is not based on any one person.
February 14th 1915
My darling and loving wife Emily
It is Valentine's Day and my thoughts are with you as always, I wish that I could be with you on this special day of love instead of being here in this hell hole which Belgium has become.
I miss you little George and Harry so very much and I pray for the day that this war comes to an end, please pass my love on to the children and kiss them for me.
We arrived at the front line just over a week ago and the smell was so bad that many of the men were sick, to describe the smell would be an impossible task but some of the causes will give you an idea of just how bad it is.
Raw sewage from the open cess pit, body odour from men who haven't had a decent wash for weeks, dead bodies rotting in shallow graves and laying out in the open in no mans land, the smell of exploded bombs and the odour of Mustard gas which lingers for a few days after the attack, stagnant mud cigarette smoke and cooking smells all add to the unpleasantness of the trenches.
They say that we will get used to the smell over time but it feels like it will never leave us at the moment.
The smell attracts rats they are everywhere you look and they seem to be unafraid to show themselves, there is so much waste here that the rats are thriving and some of them are as big as felix our cat.
I shaved my head and my pubic hair yesterday because my hair was crawling with lice most of the men have been scratching and itching almost since the day we got here.
The rain is a constant companion flooding the trenches and turning the floor into mud it is so bad that some of the men are getting sores on their feet and can hardly walk with the pain.
Sleep his so hard to come by with the constant booming and banging of the shells from both sides, my bed is a bunk which has been placed in a dug out section of the trench, a mud roof a mud floor and the constant theat of a stray shell keep me awake at night.
I am scared my darling Emily, my life is under constant threat, bullets randomly fired at us, shells exploding every minute of the day, men are dying all around me if not from a stray bullet or shell they are falling with fever and disease.
Four of the boys in my squad have died already they went through basic training with me and i considered them good friends, my best friend John shot himself in the foot just to get out of here and away from the trenches, he will be treated in a field hospital and sent home.
We are going over the top tonight climbing out of the trench and attacking the enemy trenches
A and B sqaud went last night and most of them were killed or wounded before they even got 10 yards out of the trench, it is barbaric and a futile waste of human life but the powers that be seem to think that it is the way forward and keep sending those poor men and boys to their deaths.
I will close now and pray that this is not the last letter that I will ever send to you my darling, I long to be back at home with you and the children.
I love you with all of my heart
Happy Valentines Day my love
your ever loving Husband
Last Will and Testament
The men fighting in the trenches of World War 1 were in constant fear of losing their lives and many of them wrote letters that contained their Last Will and Testaments to be sent home on the event of their deaths, these were often handed to senior officers along with personal effects such as watches and rings as orders came through that the squad would be going over the top.
Many of the men knew each other before the war and joined the army together, they grew up and went to the same school they worked in the same factories and sad though it seems they also fought and died together.

pravstar on November 11, 2012:
the trenches were a horrible place. it was dirty and there were lots of rats and lice. and trenches were sometime muddy when it rained. there were lots of dead people and there was blood everywhere. the no man land is a very dangerous place because if you were trying to cross you would get shot because there are no walls to protect you. most people died cause of the disease.
3113 on November 07, 2012:
Thank you this really helped with my history project on the trenches in WW1. R.I.P soldiers of The Great War.

love on January 26, 2012:
i hate war
bethan on January 26, 2012:
I am in yr 8 too and everyone else seems to love this but I have to disagree. You really think a soldier would write back to his wife in a time where impecable manners and stuff were still important, about the stench of dead bodies and rats, and even about shaving his pubic hair? Of course they did these things, but what soldier in his right mind would write to his 'delicate' wife and children about the horror of war?
lalalalalalalalalalal on January 24, 2012:

literaturelover on November 16, 2011:
The letter is brilliant, though I am not sure you have really captured quite all of what these soldiers endured, though I am sure they moaned about these things perhaps that isn't the only thing they would have talked about?

aktifistri from China on May 22, 2010:
sigh..war is the selfish project of greedy elite all around the world! I have no idea what is actually lays there on the top of the power that caused those people seemed learnt nothing from the humankind's history.. Living in this era I am so glad that my husband is Canadian, where you are not forced to join the troops for war, other than the fact that Canada is not a country that is thirsty for wars and world-ruling power!..
Juliette Morgan on April 30, 2010:
Hi Jimmy i'm very interested in WWI and II, your sample letter I believe would be fairly typical - how they could go on with such courage knowing what they knew is so admirable and how their loved ones coped is unfathomable.
rebekahELLE from Tampa Bay on April 21, 2010:
Jimmy, this is such a great tribute to the men who served in WW1. thanks for writing and sharing. I'm sure it will touch many hearts.
salt from australia on April 21, 2010:
thankyou, with anzac day this week, that is a very good example of what men went through. I thank them. I have a picture of my great grandfather in the lounge room, who was regular army WW1. I read his diary from France and he seemed to note places he went and the architecture.
I have sensed the spirits of young soldiers at our war memorial and think of the dancing or having an evening meal. A great aussie bbq with a beer or for SA woodies sarsparella. I thank them again and wish them love for the experiences they endured for our sake.
People think Im a bit funny about these things, yet I do really sense the strength and dignity and endurance. The boyish endeavour which lifts mens spirits and the amazing aussie spirit that would see them through.
De Greek from UK on April 21, 2010:
This may not be an actual letter,, but thousands similar were written in reality. Poor innocent sheep sent to slaughter.
entertianmentplus from United States on April 21, 2010:
A must read very well done-Thanks
lxxy from Beneath, Between, Beyond on April 20, 2010:
What a creative and historically interesting little piece of writing.
It is sad when your species picks up the sticks and stones, but having been living inter-dimensionally (and in various space-times) I've never had time to really study early war from a non-USA perspective.
Thank you, great job.
Hello, hello, from London, UK on April 20, 2010:
War is nothing but lunacy. Will mankind ever learn?

Home > Unix > How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare How to Fix the Unix Configuration Nightmare Submitted by Dave Poirier 2002-02-18 Unix 13 Comments Unix is steadily evolving into something much easier to use. The trick is to find tools that make things friendlier, but which fit in well with existing tools and are easier for people to take and use for new projects. Read more at Freshmeat. About The Author Eugenia Loli Ex-programmer, ex-editor in chief at OSNews.com, now a visual artist/filmmaker. Follow me on Twitter @EugeniaLoli 13 Comments 2002-02-18 5:34 pm Things will never change because a lot of Unix users seem to have opinions like this (from the article’s comments) : “Why do you need single configuration interface to all things that can be configured? Are you too lazy to learn how to configure each single one by one? Are you too lame?” “Can’t you just learn how to configure these? I, personally, like learning stuff. Maybe you could give learning a try.” Also the author didn’t seem to know anything about the windows registry. 2002-02-18 5:42 pm “I don’t think I need to go into much detail as to what a mess the Windows registry is. It does provide a certain amount of power for graphical applications, but the text-level access is shoddy and cryptic, and a binary database seems to be an inherently unstable and inflexible way of storing data. ” Uh ? Did he know really what the registry is ? I think there’s some confusion here 🙂 And what he means by “provide a certain amount of power for graphical applications” ??? 2002-02-18 5:43 pm >>Unix is steadily evolving into something much easier to use.<< Yes, it is. Mac OS X. 2002-02-18 8:31 pm Compare some key random key you open with regedit to a default httpd.conf and then tell me where you more of an idea how to get things right. Ok there are some config files that are not documented that much but if you do only have the windows registry and regedit you can configure hardly anything. It’s all about the frontends IMHO. 2002-02-18 9:13 pm “Compare some key random key you open with regedit” Well … registry database is NOT intended to be accessed in a randomly manner. You know config files under Linux but not registry under Windows. So you prefere config files. I don’t know config files very much and they look like a *total* mess for me, and registry is VERY easy to naviate in, and think is a way better classified way to store general informations and setting. It’s not because you don’t know how to navigate in registry that it’s a mess. 2002-02-18 11:10 pm When things are in config files atleast you know you can read the info. Some keys in the registry are number, and weird ones at that. Screw up a config file, what do you lose? One service, screw up the registry and you screw up your OS. Its utterly irresponsible of them to put the app’s config stuff into the same pile as the OSes. Which to prefer is a user preference though. I prefer config files, but i can see how some prefer the registry, hey its point and click. Its true that people are afraid of learning though. How often do you read a manual by choice? Everyone wants to know everything about something but its very rare that they want to put in the time. 2002-02-19 12:18 am “Why do you need single configuration interface to all things that can be configured? Are you too lazy to learn how to configure each single one by one? Are you too lame?” I don’t think most *Nix fanatics have gotten it through their thick skulls that most ‘common’ folks just want to use their computer to get things done instead of dicking around with configuration files all day. Any time you have to go and edit a configuration file, if the programmer is at all concerned with ease of use, then he’s not doing his job if the front end does not provide a means to let the user set preferences without having to fire up vi or pico. As for the Windows registry, the only time I’ve really needed to use it is so that I could make my Windows box communicate properly with Samba (clear-text passwords). 2002-02-19 6:36 am The Windows registry is evil.. especially when it corrupts itself at random intervals. BeOS did it right in having a central location for config files, use seperate files and/or dirs for each app and you could create a gui config tool to read and modify everything in the dir, add a central data location and back ups couldn’t be easier. 2002-02-19 7:52 am “The Windows registry is evil.. especially when it corrupts itself at random intervals.” That’s why the best is to have your registry database in a NTFS partition, controled under a safer kernel (NT/2K/XP). In those conditions, I can’t remember any registry corruption (and that include many years of intensive utilisation and registry manipulations). “BeOS did it right in having a central location for config files” Right on ! Registry have problems. Spreaded config files is a problem. BeOS, IMHO, get it right by getting best of both worlds. What I like the most with the registry is the way everything is centralized, which is way more useful than spreaded config files. But config files are a lot easier to manipulate and update (what can it be easier than a text file?). So that’s why I think the BeOS way to handle this issue is the way to go. 2002-02-19 7:52 am ARGH! Unix’s configuration problems go SO much deeper than standardizing the configuration files. It goes straight to the core of the unix logical filesystem: Why is everything important in /etc ? I’m not sure if many geeks, Unixphiles or not, have really stopped to ponder these kinds of things. “Etc” is Latin for “and the rest”. And this is a good place to put all the files that are 100% critical to the running of your computer? We need to be able to examine the really basic and simple questions like ‘where do super-important files go?’ and answer them in a way that makes perfect sense to someone who is computer illiterate. Also, does anyone really believe that Unix’s configuration problems have anything to do with each app scratching it’s itch it’s own special way and that this isn’t actually a symptom of the greater problem of architectural cruft? 2002-02-19 10:36 pm The idea of a registry is sound. But there’s no need to put it physically in one location so long as the interface is in one place. RPC/SOAP is perfect for this and can mask the underlying implementation details. For example, Software calls SOAP interface, SOAP parses/edits crappy unix configuration files SOAP responds accordingly to the software Legacy software just reads the crappy unix configuration files. Behind the scenes of course there’s a need for something better than crappy unix configuration files. Self-descibing XML files would be best – and these can be made into crappy unix configuration files for legacy apps (XSLT to the rescue). Of course I’m not going to do anything about it. I’m not much of a programmer. I’ll write the XSLT but that’s it. Later, chumps 2002-02-20 4:54 am You can’t compare the Windows registry with Unix config files, the two are only remotely similar in that they both exist on computers. First of all, config files are good and the registry sucks. Second of all, config files are clean, or can be cleaned very easily. Try installing any Windows app and then try deleting everything out of the registry cleanly when you want to uninstall it. The only way it can be done is with a diff program run on a dump of the registry pre-install against one done post install and then a whole lot of manual deleting of GUIDs and other such crap. Most people don’t know how to do that, so anyone that thinks Windows configuration is easier than Unix is quite ignorant. Some here today are comparing Windows “wizards” to the vi editor under Unix. This is also an invalid comparison. Either compare vi config file editing with regedit editing, or compare the myriad front ends to config files that exist in Unix to the one “wizard” that exists under Windows. At least in Unix you can configure everything. In Windows you’re stuck to what Microsoft wants you to do. 2002-02-20 9:51 pm I think that OSX could provide the best of both worlds with the .app ideal. Essentially, the problem with installing something on a computer is that it then spews files everywhere: installing on UNIX means there is a file in /etc, a “dot” file, a file in /usr/local (or wherever…), some files in /lib, and then a crapload of spool files, log files, etc. etc. etc. The genius of the OSX .app is that it does two things: 1) registers with the OS 2) has a defnitive directory structure. For example, there is/can be a Library and Preferences directory for each .app. Note that “registering with the OS” simply means that it kleeps track of where a .app is… the “registry” does not have to keep track of configuration, etc. THEREFORE, what could happen is the OS could keep track of what is installed, but then allow each app to have its config files in its own directory; delete the .app, and the config files, logs, internal libraries, etc. etc. etc. go with it. Furthermore, because there is a definite directory structure to an .app, you could have a /etc directory that is simply LINKS to the various /etc directories in the individual .apps. So, everything is in one place and in all places at once. For the *NIX heads out there, you could have the config in the .app’s directory AND in the /etc directory. For the GUI people, it would be simple to make a GUI config tool that simply reads a .plist and creates a GUI config tool based on that (there is already a project to do that in Linux, but no one uses it because of the “GUI tools suck” attitude). See? The advantages of a registry, the advantages of *NIX config files, the advantages of the traditional Mac way of doing things… and no disadvantages!!

How many guns there are in the U.S.
International research has found that U.S. mass shootings cannot be explained by a violent culture, racial divisions or mental health, the N.Y. Times' Max Fisher and Josh Keller write in "The Interpreter" column.
It's simply the "astronomical number of guns."
- "The United States has 270 million guns and had 90 mass shooters from 1966 to 2012."
- "No other country has more than 46 million guns or 18 mass shooters" — the U.S. is way worse than the Philippines, Russia, China or India.
- Americans alone own 40% of all guns in the world, more than all civilians combined in 25 other countries.
Countries with the highest gun ownership rate, per a survey by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva:
- United States: 120.5 per 100 people
- Yemen: 52.8 per 100 people
- Montenegro: 39.1 per 100 people
- Serbia: 39.1 per 100 people
- Canada: 34.7 per 100 people
- Uruguay: 34.7 per 100 people
- Cyprus: 34.0 per 100 people
- Finland: 32.4 per 100 people
- Lebanon: 31.9 per 100 people
- Iceland: 31.7 per 100 people
Japan and Indonesia, meanwhile, have fewer than 1 firearm per 100.

Three young people from South Africa, Poland and Nigeria among the 300 who took part in an unprecedented event in Rome. (Photo by Fabio Pignata/CPP/Ciric)
In a symbolic move 10 months prior to World Youth Day in Panama in January 2019, a young Panamanian was selected to present Pope Francis with the document prepared by the 300 young people who took part in last week's Pre-Synod event.
"Speak freely," Pope Francis had told participants on March 19. And in his homily on Palm Sunday, he again encouraged them to resist pressure from their elders to "remain silent."
Encouraged by Pope Francis' confidence, Pre-Synod participants worked seriously and enthusiastically for five days and several nights to prepare their contribution for the October Synod on Young People, Faith and Vocational Discernment.
What are the takeaways from the 14-page document, which addresses a multitude of issues and concerns? The striking aspects include the clear attachment of participants to the person of Jesus, their desire to evangelize and consequently their great expectations of the church.
Pre-Synod participants firmly situated themselves within the Catholic Church to which they are clearly attached.
However, they refused to spare an institution which can "appear excessively severe and moralizing" and which sometimes finds it difficult to "see beyond a logic of 'it's always been like that'."
With astonishing frankness, they criticized the church for what they characterized as "a culture that focuses on members of the institution and not on the person of Christ."
Several young people even stated that religious leaders were "disconnected from reality and more interested in administrative tasks than on community building."
Another point of dissatisfaction was the place of women in the church, an issue that was systematically raised in every working group during the week.
Nevertheless, the document's drafters simultaneously expressed participants' desire for a church that offers guidance and support in a world that clearly worries them.
"In many countries, we are afraid of social, political and economic instability," the document says, citing forced migration, abuses of technology or the difficulties of being Christian in societies that are no longer so.
In an effort to respond to these challenges, participants' expressed their desire for a church that will make itself credible, not only for the good of the faithful but also to make its voice heard by others.
This credibility, participants believe, will depend on the church's capacity to recognize its errors, including on sexual abuse cases and "mismanagement" of wealth
"A credible church is one which is not afraid to allow itself be seen as vulnerable," they wrote.
Pre-Synod participants also want to play a role in the task of making this "dream" church become a reality.
They insistently demanded to be given responsibilities on a "parish, diocesan, national and international level, even on a Vatican commission."
Moreover, several cardinals are reported to have raised the prospect of the Holy See establishing a body with young people as its members.
In any event, participants left Rome well pleased with their unprecedented experience.
"We are pleased to have been taken seriously," participants said.
"It would be a pity if the dialogue did not continue and grow," they added in a warning both for young people and the church.
"Our work is far from over," commented Anne Thibout, who is responsible for preparations for World Youth Day in Panama on behalf of the French Church.
"Young people now need to read the document, understand it and seek to implement it," she said.
"Even if others keep quiet, if we older people and leaders keep quiet, if the whole world keeps quiet and loses its joy, I ask you: Will you cry out?" Pope Francis appealed at the end of his Palm Sunday homily, signaling that he does not want the Synod Fathers to ignore the cry that the young people have just expressed.

Sleep: A Biological Necessity (From Mr NANA, Provincial High School of Kaya)
Millions of people experience frustrations and stress associated with the lack of sleep. Many others such as doctors, drivers, mothers with young children, teachers… are among those who are vulnerable to being robbed of the sleep their bodies require. Sleep is absolutely a necessity and it is more than a simple rest. It is actually a complicated process of muscles tensing and relaxing, pulse and blood pressure rising and the mind turning out its own home movies. Being asleep, the heart-beat and breathing rate slow down and the immune system reinforced; the general clean-up work carried on through the blood-stream operates efficiently and the chemical balance is restored. It restores energy to the body, especially the brain and the nervous system.
All age-groups, younger or older people, are concerned with sleep. But the length of time spent during sleep varies according to or even within each age-group depending on its resistance. Sleep itself works in cycles of deeper sleep alternating within lighter sleep.
However? Chronic lack of sleep can have dire consequences both for ourselves and those around us. When deprived of sleep, we lose energy and we become quick-tempered. In such conditions lengthy concentration becomes difficult, bringing out mistakes and attention slips. This may result in difficulties to think, see and hear clearly or have periods of delirium.
According to Dr. Jeffrey J. Lipsitz, we must sleep in secure, quiet, dark surroundings on a comfortable bed. Caffeine, heavy exercises and large meals before bedtime are enemies of sleep. Being awakened during bedtime or changing one’s regular sleeping hours should be prohibited to restore a sound rest.

COLUMBUS, Ind., September 27, 2018 – Project Prevent programming is successfully reaching a wide range of community populations, from preschoolers to grandparents. Twenty-five projects are currently underway, benefiting from approximately $95,000 in grants from the Heritage Fund and ASAP program that supports programming to spread knowledge about the appropriate uses of opioids. The grant program, which launched in April, is made possible through the Mark and Wendy Elwood Substance Abuse Prevention Fund.
“We started Project Prevent in hopes that Bartholomew County will become the most knowledgeable community in the state about opioids,” said Jeff Jones, executive lead for ASAP. “Organizations like Foundation For Youth, Family Service, African American Pastors Alliance and Mill Race Center have the opportunity to reach large numbers of people with important educational messages. We are grateful for their help.”
Examples of Project Prevent programs include a resource person for preschool teachers who deal with developmental delays caused by drug-related issues who will provide suggestions and guidance for programs at First Presbyterian, First Christian and First United Methodist churches.
Thrive Alliance is hosting a Grandparent’s Day for grandparents who are raising grandchildren, a situation that can be triggered by parents’ substance abuse issues. The celebration will provide speakers who have raised children of family members as well as activities for children and a meal.
Two high school seniors are working on their Senior Projects in the substance abuse area with the help of Bartholomew Consolidated School Foundation. One project targets teens in recovery. Su Casa is sponsoring another project that will help teens develop videos to increase awareness and will host a “red carpet” event at YES Cinema.
Tracy Souza, president and CEO of Heritage Fund, encourages all nonprofit and tax-exempt organizations to think about creative ways to reach their audiences with important messages about substance abuse.
Turning Point is hosting family game nights to encourage families to spend time together and promote positive interactions. Free games will be distributed to participants. A follow-up from Turning Point will attempt to measure the impact of the program.
“Not all projects need to reach a large number of people,” said Beth Morris of Healthy Communities. “One small but important project asked for running shoes for a running club for those in recovery to keep its members on a healing path. Healthy Communities is developing a positivity path in Mill Race Park as part of the Walktober activities.”
Projects also include prescription drug lockboxes for people who need secure medicine storage and environmentally responsible drug disposal pouches for those who no longer need medications.
Project Prevent grant proposal guidelines are available on the Heritage Fund website at www.heritagefundbc.org. The program will run through April 2019.

This is an all american favorite and the recipe goes back years and years. My father used to buy this flavor of icecream when we used to live in HongKong and it used to be really expensive as it used to be imported from America. This icecream has a history….the flavor was created in March 1929 by William Dreyer in Oakland, California when he cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his wife’s sewing scissors and added them to his chocolate ice cream in a manner that reflected his partner Joseph Edy‘s chocolate candy creation incorporating walnuts and marshmallow pieces. Later, the walnuts would be replaced by pieces of toasted almond. This is all thanks to wikipedia! I have created my own rocky road icecream with my own special touch. Its an easy desert specially if you have a party and dont have much time to make desert. If you need the amazing blender i have used in the recipe do contact me. I can have it shipped to you.
1 tub (1 kilo or 1000ml) of chocolate icecream of your choice, can also use chocolate icecream with chocolate chips
1 small cup of chopped marshmellows
1 small cup of grated white chocolate
1 small cup of chopped left over chocolate cake
1 small cup of toasted and roughtly grated almonds
melt the icecream and put it into a big container so its easy to mix. Add the chopped marshmellows, the grated white chocolate, cake and toasted almonds. Mix wel and put into a covered container ( i now use these special “keep fresh” containers that make your food last longer and fresher due to its special plastic material. When its frozen scoop with an icecream scoop and serve in icecream cups sprinkled with coloured sprinkles, or chopped chocolate.
Its a real explosion of flavours and textures
Please watch the video to see how to chop and grate the chocolate and nuts!!

|Title||Metamaterial apertures for computational imaging.|
|Publication Type||Journal Article|
|Year of Publication||2013|
|Authors||J Hunt, T Driscoll, A Mrozack, G Lipworth, M Reynolds, D Brady, and DR Smith|
|Journal||Science (New York, N.Y.)|
|Pagination||310 - 313|
By leveraging metamaterials and compressive imaging, a low-profile aperture capable of microwave imaging without lenses, moving parts, or phase shifters is demonstrated. This designer aperture allows image compression to be performed on the physical hardware layer rather than in the postprocessing stage, thus averting the detector, storage, and transmission costs associated with full diffraction-limited sampling of a scene. A guided-wave metamaterial aperture is used to perform compressive image reconstruction at 10 frames per second of two-dimensional (range and angle) sparse still and video scenes at K-band (18 to 26 gigahertz) frequencies, using frequency diversity to avoid mechanical scanning. Image acquisition is accomplished with a 40:1 compression ratio.

Bias in decision-making can lead to poor choices and depression, reveals study published in PLoS Computational Biology.
In the study, researchers at UCL looked at how people make chains of several decisions, where each step depends on the previous one. Often, the total number of possible choices is far too large to consider them each individually. One way to simplify the problem is to avoid considering any plan where the first step has a seriously negative association - no matter what the overall outcome would be. This 'pruning' decision-making bias, which was demonstrated in this paper for the first time, can result in poor decisions.
Lead author Dr Quentin Huys from the UCL Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, explained: "Imagine planning a holiday - you could not possibly consider every destination in the world. To reduce the number of options, you might instinctively avoid considering going to any countries that are more than 5 hours away by plane because you don't enjoy flying.
In the study, the researchers asked a group of 46 volunteers with no known psychiatric disorders to plan chains of decisions in which they moved around a maze - on each step they either gained or lost money. The volunteers instinctively avoided paths starting with large losses, even if those decisions would have won them the most money overall. Interestingly, the amount of pruning the volunteers showed was related to the extent to which they reported experiencing depressive symptoms, though none were actually clinically depressed.
Neir Eshel, co-author of the paper, formerly at the UCL Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience and now at Harvard Medical School, said: "The reflex to prune the number of possible options is a double-edged sword. Although necessary to simplify complicated decisions, it could also lead to poor choices."
The researchers link the surprising association with depressive symptoms to the brain chemical serotonin, which is known to be involved in both avoidance and depression, and may also contribute to the optimism bias. However, this role for serotonin in pruning needs to be confirmed in further studies.
Dr Tali Sharot, also from UCL but not involved in the study, said: "This is a fascinating study linking "pruning" to depressive symptoms. The novel finding may have important implications for understanding and treating depression."

Officials in China have announced that in the near future they would like to launch an artificial moon into space. While city officials’ explanations for the new technology sound admirable on the surface, it isn’t difficult to imagine something going wrong with this plan. The script goes like this:
Obi Wan Kenobi: That’s no moon… It’s a space station.
Han Solo: It’s too big to be a space station.
Luke Skywalker: I have a very bad feeling about this.
Chengdu is a southwest city in China and is arguably one of the most significant innovation hubs in the world. In response to an increased strain on global resources, the government in China has been actively seeking solutions to created sustainable long-term outcomes. One of the suggestions is to launch an illumination satellite into space to light the night sky as a second moon.
Interesting Engineering reports that plans for the artificial moon have been in process since as early as 2013. Recently, details were revealed at the National Mass Innovation and Entrepreneurships Week in Chengdu, suggesting that a new moon could be launched imminently. The second moon supposedly would create a “dusk-like glow,” shining eight times brighter than the real moon. According The People’s Daily, the second moon would be able to be controlled to focus light in a diameter ranging from 10-80 km (6-50 miles).
Currently, the Star Wars-like project is headed by Wu Chunfeng, chairman of Chengdu Aerospace Science and Technology Microelectronics System Research Institute Co., Ltd. The Chinese government’s hope for the project is that it will reduce the rising cost of energy demands in the country. Still, the unintended side effects of the ambitious endeavor have not been thoroughly investigated.
It is very easy to imagine that the increased light pollution created from the project could have an unexpected and unintended impact on the environment and animals in the region. Oftentimes, with the best of intentions, humans create technology that isn’t properly vetted. Since this project has already been in development for years without anyone knowing about it, is unlikely that proper ecological studies have been done to determine its actual future impact. For many nocturnal species in the region, the new moon may literally be a first iteration Death Star.
Reality Changing Observations:
1. Are you in favor or are you against China launching a second moon in the sky and why?
2. What might be other solutions that would be more reasonable for China to implement first to develop sustainability in the region?
3. How do you envision accountability measures between countries being created so that emerging tech can be discussed before implementation to avoid adverse results?

UPDATE: The PLF is no longer required.
Starting from December 20, 2021, everyone who enters Romania must fill in the digital form for entry in Romania (namely the Digital Passenger Locator Form – PLF), a document that has been already adopted by 18 EU Member States, and regulated, as of today, by the Government of Romania as well.
What is the digital form for entry in Romania?
The form is a document that shows the countries and areas where a person traveled before entering Romania.
This form is needed to protect our health and the health of our peers, because it is a useful tool which makes the epidemiological investigations and health measures more efficient, for the benefit of the entire population.
Based on the data included in the form, the public health departments will be able to more easily identify and contact people who have come into contact, during their journey, with a citizen infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
What information does the digital form for entry in Romania contain?
- Name and surname, identification and contact details;
- Country, region and locality from where the respective individual traveled to Romania, including those transited;
- Destination locality and address in Romania;
- Means of transport used to travel to Romania;
- Date of entry into Romania;
- Data of accompanying under age individuals, if applicable.
Who has to fill in the digital form for entry in Romania?
The form is filled in by all persons who enter Romania and travel by plane, train, on road or on sea.
Where can I access the digital form for entry in Romania?
The digital form can be generated electronically through the https://plf.gov.ro platform, developed by the Special Telecommunications Service based on the operational requirements of the Ministry of Health.
A user can issue the form after authenticating with an e-mail address where the user will receive an access link. Then, the user must fill in the fields with the required data. The steps are similar to those followed for generating the EU Digital COVID Certificate.
The https://plf.gov.ro can be accessed by anyone, starting from December 20, 2021.
When do I have to fill in the form?
The form must be filled in individually, with a maximum of 24 hours before entering Romania. It can be completed electronically from your mobile phone, tablet or computer.
How is the form being checked?
When the Border Police verifies the identity card / passport, their information system will display if the person has filled in the form. A hard copy of the form is not needed.
Who has access to the personal data included in the form?
The data completed in the form are accessed only by authorised employees of the public health departments and may be used strictly for the purpose of conducting epidemiological investigations.
The data is physically and legally protected and is not passed on to third parties.
STS provides specific cyber security measures for the computer system employed to issue the digital form for entry in our country.

Having struggled with a stutter all his life, Adam avoided anything that would involve too much speaking. So many missed opportunities lit a fire in him, and prompted Adam to try a new programme that prompted acceptance and transformed his entire outlook
Stuttering is a hidden disability, and one that affects about 1% of the world’s population. For many people who stutter, the world can be an intimidating place to live, and one where a stutterer can feel isolated, trapped, and scared.
I have stuttered for as long as my parents can remember – first it would be repetition of sounds, and then full words. Sometimes, when trying to ask or tell them something, full minutes would go by without me being able to finish the short sentence. But personally, it wasn’t until I was around nine years old and reading Charlotte’s Web out loud in class that I really noticed. I just couldn’t get the words out, and if I did they were very different to others’ in the class. Thereafter, years of conventional therapy made little impact on my progress, and I stuttered quite evidently.
I really hated my stutter. I would avoid speaking at all costs, change words, avoid certain sounds, I never spoke out in class, and I didn’t enjoy meeting new people. I stopped going to football and rugby, and would only go to parties if I knew a close group of friends were going to act as a safety net for me.
The thought of leaving school to go to university was making me quite anxious. The thought of introducing myself to all the new people was a scary prospect. How would I manage asking where lecture halls were? How would I make friends? How would I answer in class? Would I benefit from the social scene at university? These questions were spinning in my head, and I found myself fixating on them.
I really wanted to be a teacher and to help pupils, especially those with support needs, but knew I wouldn’t get through the teaching side of the course – too much speaking was involved, so I chose a course that involved little-to-no public interaction instead. I will admit I was too scared to pursue teaching at that point.
I ended up enjoying my undergraduate course in Sports Development and met a few lifelong friends, but I knew it wasn’t what I wanted to do. I had to do something about my speech, and my mindset in relation to what I could achieve.
I enrolled in an intensive therapy course called ‘The McGuire Programme’ in March 2007. This programme focuses on a new way of breathing, called costal breathing, when speaking. The idea is that this gives power behind a breath, and helps you to control what you’re saying. It’s done in tandem with psychological techniques – mainly accepting yourself as a person with a stutter on your own terms.
This acceptance was something I found challenging at first, but now I fully embrace it and openly show myself to be a person with a stutter. Like an elephant in the room, the more you try to ignore it, the more obvious it is that it’s there. With my stuttering, the more I show that I’m comfortable speaking in a different way, the less it bothers me, and now it doesn’t have any negative impact on how I live my life. Being honest about who I was and embracing my stutter changed my life.
At this point, I decided I had enough speech control to follow my dream, and I applied for teacher training. In my interview, I was able to describe how growing up in Glasgow with a stutter shaped my education and my friendships, and how I had an understanding of how some pupils with an additional needs might feel. They told me that my openness about my own struggles was refreshing, and they thought I’d be a great candidate for the course – nobody had ever said that about my stutter before.
“Being honest about who I was and embracing my stutter changed my life”
I’ve now been teaching for more than 10 years. I’m in a dream role as a teacher of learning support in a busy secondary school – helping the very children I always wanted to. I’ve pushed myself, and have given speeches as a best man and at my own wedding. I’ve even presented at academic conferences! My wife and I now have two children, and I read to them every night – there is no better feeling for my mental health than sitting and reading a story to them, and it’s something I never thought I would do.
I still stutter, and I still struggle on certain words or sounds. The difference is that I now deal with these positively, and don’t feel defined by my stutter as I did before. Taking control of my speaking has given me control of how I really feel – I’m happier, more outgoing, and live a full life, which is something I wasn’t doing before.
Stuttering has definitely helped me as a teacher. I know what it is like to be overlooked in class because of difficulties; some of my teachers chose to see my stutter, and not my other qualities. With this in mind, I’m always looking past what conditions children might have, to focus on the things they can do really well – celebrating the positives can do so much for a child.
“I now have two children, and I read to them every night – there is no better feeling for my mental health than sitting and reading a story to them, and it’s something I never thought I would do”
Parents of children I teach really like the fact that I’m open and honest about my own quirks – it shows them that if I can overcome my struggle then there is hope for their children to do the same.
My final message is always to embrace your quirks – they make you who you are. Nobody told me that as a child, and I really wish they had – it might have the same positive impact on your mental health as it did for me. The moment I stopped hiding from who I really was, was the moment I started to enjoy life that little bit more. It’s fine to be different, in fact it is good to be different. To stand out for positive reasons, that once had negative associations is really empowering. Embrace your quirks; they make you who you are.
Rachel Coffey | BA MA NLP Mstr says:
Adam’s story is a brilliant example of how accepting who we are and sharing this with the world encourages external acceptance too. Having more confidence in our abilities allows us to help others as well.
As a qualified voice coach, I work with people everyday who are dealing with challenges when it comes to speaking publicly. It’s so important that we find a way to share what we have to say and take our place in the world. As Adam found, being able to be heard is truly liberating, and means that we can go on to achieve our ambitions and dreams.

Who pays the legal costs?
Clearly legal proceedings can be expensive. At the end of a legal case the question arises who is to pay those costs?
In financial remedy proceedings the rules are different to most other areas of the law.
If you bring a personal injury case, in relation say to a road traffic accident, the winner will usually get their costs paid by the loser. Let’s say you are driving along and someone goes into the back of you. You go to the county court and the judge finds that the driver of the other car was negligent and they should pay you damages. Generally as the winner you will be entitled to your costs. The other driver will have to pay for your legal costs.
In financial remedy proceedings however, the starting point is that there should be no order for costs. This is the rule in Family Procedure Rules rule 28.3(5):
“Subject to paragraph (6) the general rule in financial remedy proceedings is that the court will not make an order requiring one party to pay the costs of another party.”
The idea behind this rule is that it simplifies the proceedings. Generally speaking at the end of the case the parties know they will each have to pay their own costs.
There are however, a number of situations where the “general no costs order rule” does not apply:
(a) There are parts of the proceedings which are not categorized as “financial remedy proceedings”:
- An application for maintenance pending suit;
- An application for a legal services payment order; and,
- An application for another interim order (i.e. before the final hearing)
(b) Parts of the proceedings involving a 3rd party. For example, a case involves a property which is in the name of the Husband’s parents. The Wife says it is really the Husband’s property. There is a preliminary hearing to determine whether the Husband does really own the property. The Husband’s parents are allowed into the proceedings as “third parties”. Whoever wins on the third party issue is likely to receive an order for their costs from the losing party.
(c) A case falling in Family Procedure Rule 28.3(6) where the court considers it appropriate to make an order for costs because of the conduct of a party in relation to the proceedings. Note: the reference to “the proceedings”. In other words the court can’t make an order for costs on the basis that someone behaved badly during the marriage itself. The conduct complained of has to have something to do with the proceedings themselves. In rule 28.3(7) are set out a list of things which the court is to take into account when deciding whether to make an order for costs under 28.3(6):
- any failure by a party to comply with these rules, any order of the court or any practice direction which the court considers relevant;
- any open offer to settle made by a party;
- whether it was reasonable for a party to raise, pursue or contest a particular allegation or issue;
- the manner in which a party has pursued or responded to the application or a particular allegation or issue;
- any other aspect of a party's conduct in relation to proceedings which the court considers relevant; and
- the financial effect on the parties of any costs order.

Bornholm Art Museum is situated about six kilometres north-west of Gudhjem in one of the most spectacular landscapes in Denmark. The museum’s floor space covering 4,000 m² is dispersed over three levels, following the natural slope of the terrain down to the rocky coast. In former times, people flocked to the area because of the supposed curative powers of the sacred spring (Helligdomskilden) found here. Today, the spring symbolises activities, experiences, recreation and spiritual development. The spring now bubbles out of a fountain and flows through a gutter the entire length of the building, before being released into the Baltic Sea through a small wishing well. This makes the building itself, regarded as a nonpareil of Scandinavian architecture, an artistic experience in its own right with its bright, lovely rooms. The permanent collection comprises visual arts and craft art relating to Bornholm. The collection’s visual arts range chronologically from the early 19th century up to the present, and revolve around the painters of the “Bornholm School”, who worked on the island in the early 1900s. The museum’s works by the Bornholm school provide a rich account of modernism’s breakthrough in art. But the oldest and newest parts of the collection of paintings and sculptures provide an abundant, multifaceted picture of the arts on Bornholm. Every year, the Bornholm Art Museum houses six to eight special art and/or craft art exhibitions relating to Bornholm in various ways. A number of the exhibitions are developed in cooperation with other art museums, both in Denmark and abroad. A collaborative effort with the Glass and Ceramic School in Nexø is realised in an annual graduation exhibition in June, with works by the year’s graduates – budding glass artists and ceramists.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet a living, breathing dinosaur? Well, it may not be a T-Rex, but Rainy River is home to prehistoric monsters that you will not want to miss! Rainy River sturgeon season is here, and your chance to meet these incredible creatures is just a short trip to Baudette, MN away. Though sturgeon can be found throughout much of the summer, the season for catching these ancient fish is heavily regulated and not nearly as long as other popular fish. The season may be short, but it is well worth taking the trip for a once in a lifetime opportunity.
About Minnesota Sturgeon
Sturgeon have been dated to having been around as early as Middle Jurassic times- about 174 million years ago! Fossils have been found over the years, proving just how long these massive fish have been swimming in the waters that we still fish today. Growing to way more than an adult human. Females and males mature at different rates with the females typically reaching sizes around 55 inches at ages 24-27 and males only reach a still sizeable length of 44 inches at ages 8-17 years. Unlike any of the other species that frequent the local waters of the Lake of the Woods area, sturgeon have cartilage skeletons and a very distinct pattern of scutes (bony plates) that run down the length of their grey bodies.
Sturgeon may look scary because of their intimidating size and bony, almost ghostly appearance, but these prehistoric fish don’t actually have any teeth. Their mouths are located on the underside of their snout and are designed to skim the bottoms of the waterways to pick up small fish, invertebrates, and whatever else seems tasty.
Lake Sturgeon Fishing Tips
Anglers are allowed a small window of time to open fish sturgeon in attempts to help keep their numbers from being affected. There are currently two harvest seasons that allow anglers to keep ONE sturgeon per calendar year and then catch and release for the other available seasons. The current harvest seasons run from April 24th to May 7th and then another one is available from July 1st to September 30th. There are two catch and release seasons that run from May 8th to May 15th and then another over the ice fishing season of October 1st to April 23rd. From May 16th to June 30th, there is absolutely no sturgeon fishing allowed. If you are going to be fishing for sturgeon, make sure you double check all MN sturgeon fishing regulations provided by the DNR. It’s better to check all the boxes before heading out and avoiding a fantastic fishing trip going south fast because of unknowingly breaking rules.
Another thing you will want to look at before heading out for a Minnesota sturgeon fishing trip is what gear you have with you. Unlike other fishing excursions, you will want to make sure that you have equipment set up to reel in a fish larger than 100lb. You will also want to have a large landing net to help get these monsters into the boat. Be sure to also have gloves along to help hold the fish. The scutes that run along the fish’s skin are very sharp and are not something you will want to handle with bare hands. When it comes to bait, the best thing to do would be to call up your fishing resort, local bait shops, or follow the Lake of the Woods Fishing Report provided by River Bend Resort to see what they are biting at and what will work best for the specific area.
Taking Advantage of the MN Sturgeon Season
The Rainy River sturgeon season is one that anglers look forward to every single year because of the unique opportunity to catch Minnesota’s largest fish. Whether it is your first or hundredth time out, every experience is different and incredible. There’s nothing more exhilarating than feeling that heavy drag on your line and seeing the ridges of a dinosaur rising up to break the surface of the water. This year, take the chance to discover the most unique fishing experience available in the great north of Minnesota with a Rainy River sturgeon fishing adventure! You won’t regret it.

It has been a bumpy year for the restraint coalition — that loose network of analysts, advocates and politicians calling for a sharply reduced US role in the world. Having reached peak influence with the withdrawal from Afghanistan, this group initially found itself marginalized by Russia’s war in Ukraine. Now, the restraint crowd is offering a renewed critique of US policy, one that will probably prove to be persistent, though not persuasive.
Restraint is a broad church. It features anti-interventionist academics, who often style themselves as non-ideological “realists,” alongside well-funded think tanks such as the Quincy Institute. It includes libertarians such as Senator Rand Paul who deplore the financial costs of US foreign policy and progressives who contend that American globalism is a cover for imperialism and neoliberalism. There are pacifists who believe that all wars are criminal, as well as nationalists such as Senator Josh Hawley who argue that being appropriately hawkish on China requires being more dovish on nearly everything else.
Some restrainers seek wholesale global retrenchment; others mainly decry ongoing US involvement in Europe and the Middle East. What unites them is a conviction that the overuse of US power has been catastrophic for America and the world.
This coalition seemed ascendant a year ago, when President Joe Biden denounced the “forever wars” while pulling out of Afghanistan. That decision, two analysts argued, marked Biden as a hard-nosed realist — and perhaps an ally in the struggle to reshape American diplomacy.
Yet the moment didn’t last. The collapse of the Afghan state even before the US finished withdrawing showed that, while waging wars is expensive, losing them can impose a serious cost. Then came Russia’s assault on Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin’s forces sought to restore the Soviet empire and murdered Ukrainian citizens, they revealed just how awful a world shaped by great powers other than Washington might be.
Indeed, Biden isn’t getting much praise from self-proclaimed realists today. While refusing to intervene militarily, Biden has otherwise backed Ukraine with money, weapons and other support. NATO — whose peaceful expansion allegedly forced Putin to order a campaign of aggression and murder — now appears likely to add two new members, Finland and Sweden. Biden has even invoked the rhetorical legacy of his cold war predecessors, declaring that Ukraine is a vital front in the struggle to save the free world.
In response, the restraint coalition has itself opened a new front, finding multiple reasons to attack Biden’s Ukraine policy.
First is cost. Sustaining a medium-sized country under a ferocious military assault is fantastically expensive. The latest US support package for Ukraine totals some $40 billion — money, Hawley complained, that could be better spent on giving US military personnel a generous raise. Some Republicans in Congress seem to agree — 57 representatives and 11 senators voted, unsuccessfully, against the aid package.
Second is risk. No one knows how the war in Ukraine will end. If the US helps Ukraine defend itself too successfully, the thinking goes, then perhaps a humiliated Russia will escalate wildly rather than accept defeat.
Finally, there is politics. With Biden having gone all-in on Ukraine, there’s little space for the restraint contingent on the left. But Hawley and other Republicans seeking to inherit Donald Trump’s political base clearly believe that there is a constituency for claims that supporting a vulnerable democracy equates to putting “America last.”
It is uncharitable to label such arguments “pro-Putin.” Forty billion dollars is real money, given that the Pentagon is struggling to find a 10th of that for urgent near-term improvements to America’s military posture in the Pacific. There is, undoubtedly, danger in a scenario where Putin worries that he is losing the war — and in consequence loses his head.
But the perpetual problem with restraint is the corresponding unwillingness to consider what happens after America pulls back. Suppose Washington does slash support to Ukraine and leave European security to the Europeans. What does that bring?
Judging by the past century — or even the past six months — the answer is not a stable Europe and a more solvent America. Rather, the result is likely to be a partially successful Russian war of conquest that creates pervasive insecurity in Europe; a continent that, lacking American leadership, is less united and confident in opposing Putin; and greater global instability that ultimately makes it harder to contain China, as well.
Similarly in the Middle East, reasonable people can debate the proper level of U.S. involvement, or what constitutes a reasonable risk to accept on a variety of issues, from containing Iran to opposing Putin’s ambitions in Ukraine. But recent events have reminded us that a world less influenced by the US will be one in which autocratic predation becomes more common. The Ukraine war has reminded the world about the stubborn persistence of evil. In doing so, it has also illuminated the virtues of American power.

Study finds more teens thinking about, attempting suicide
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah – A new study released by Vanderbilt University found more kids are either thinking about or attempting suicide – nearly twice as much as a decade ago. The research published in Pediatrics also showed school stress may play a role.
A teen counselor in Utah County talked with KSL about the role social media plays in this troubling trend.
“The clients I have seen have become more intense in the things that they’re thinking of doing,” said Jessica Miller, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at The Green House Center for Growth and Learning in Pleasant Grove.
Miller specializes in counseling teens who have struggled mentally and thought about hurting themselves. She said she was drawn into teen therapy shortly after she started working at the center.
“I found very quickly that I was able to connect with them in ways that they reported, and told me, that other counselors weren’t,” she said.
Miller was not surprised by the surge in hospitalizations of children either thinking about suicide, or attempting suicide.
“It makes me heartsick, immediately,” she said. “I feel for all these teens because to get all the way to feeling suicidal, you have to be in so much pain.”
Researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee analyzed a database of hospital visits from 2008 to 2015 and discovered a doubling in the number of kids thinking about hurting themselves, or trying to hurt themselves.
They found half of the hospital encounters involved teens ages 15 to 17, and 37 percent were ages 12 to 14. Nearly 13 percent were ages 5 to 11 years old. Girls made up nearly two-thirds of the cases.
Researchers also discovered a spike during the school year.
Miller said she sees the reality of those statistics every day.
“There’s a lot of pressure to get good grades, to do well,” the counselor said. “There’s also just a lot more social interaction happening during the school year that’s more difficult for them to manage.”
Teens in school see their friends more often, compare themselves to their friends, and maybe feeling less than their peers. That intensifies their anxiety level.
“It’s all just his perfect storm of difficult stuff,” she said.
The also study cited the prevalence of social media as a potential cause. Miller said she agrees.
“Really, these kids are carrying around anxiety with them,” she said referring to smart phones. “I can get on Instagram and see what my ex-boyfriend is doing right at that moment. That’s a heartbreak in that second, because I see he’s with another girl which I never would have known 5, 10,15 years ago.”
Smart phones that deliver instant gratification – or rejection – that can influence a child’s mood and thoughts right away.
“Social media being ingrained in all of the aspects of life makes it really difficult for them to have any healthy functioning because it is a constant reminder that you’re not good enough,” she said.
Parents trying to distinguish between normal teen anxiety and serious trouble should seek professional help if the child ever mentions wanting to die, or wanting to hurt themselves.
“They are jumping to it a lot quicker. So, if your kid expresses any of that ideation, you need to get help because they’re going to get stuck in that, more and more, rather than figuring it out on their own.”

FeO is determined through titration, using a cold acid digestion of ammonium metavanadate, and hydrofluoric acid in an open system. Ferrous ammonium sulphate is added after digestion and potassium dichromate is the titrating agent.
This cold digestion will dissolve silicates and some sulphides. Pyrite may not be totally dissolved. The extent of dissolution is affected by the ferric iron content higher Fe(3+) concentration increases the solubility of pyrite. Concentrations of S(II) has a tendency to reduce Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). This is minimized in an open system. If the S concentration is greater than 10% an alternative hot digestion method is used for FeO.
When titrating, the endpoint is determined by colour. Certain solutions high in MnO2 or certain matrices make the endpoint determination difficult or impossible.
Modified method from Wilson (1955. Bull Geol. Sur. Gt. Britain , volume 9, pp. 56-68)

A major multinational organisation had developed an internal tool that allowed employees to flag issues (big or small) internally through an anonymous whistle-blowing tool. The initial uptake was low, but the client was convinced that there were issues that employees wanted to raise.
Understanding employee behaviour
We analysed data from an accompanying survey that asked employees about their habits around ‘speaking up’ to their colleagues and supervisors.
We combined this with an understanding of the context in which employees were making decisions; and carried out a diagnosis of the potential behavioural drivers that were keeping different people from speaking up.
We also ran Behavioural Economics workshops with the legal and human resource teams to help them understand how behavioural drivers could be barriers, even when employees claim they don’t have a problem speaking their minds.
The reasons behind the lack of uptake
Some teams were more comfortable speaking up than others and the personality of the manager and the environment and culture they had created played an important role.
There had been too much focus on the legal and compliance aspects of the service which meant that the wider context was missed (e.g. there was a physical box to submit grievances but it was visible in the hallway, so people did not feel comfortable using it).
Social proof was important. Most employees knew that the service was never used so it felt odd to use it for a ‘small’ issue that they may have observed.
As a result of our in-depth analysis and workshops, The client altered the questions of the employee survey to learn more about the context. They also identified options to trial different ways of communicating and offering the service. This included a training programme for new managers that included help on how to deal with problems and encourage teams to speak up.

Qi or Ki or Chi or Gi, depending on which Eastern culture you learn it from, translates to breath, air, energy, or life-force. Qigong is the art of moving life-force energy through the body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the body has certain pathways known as meridians and when the flow of energy is hindered through these pathways, disease and ailments occur. Qigong exercises allow these pathways to flow strongly once more, returning the body to its full strength and health.
Qigong is divided into many forms of practice, such as the Healing Techniques practice in Chinese traditional medicine, or the purely meditative practice of Sitting Qigong. Here are handpicked Qigong exercises and movement styles for you to try.
Elements and Aims of Qigong Exercises
Qigong has a variety of different focuses and elements which, if are not in place, can render it ineffective. It is with these elements that the benefits of qigong are obtained and thus must be present in any practice you choose.
The movements done in qigong exercises are slow and controlled with an emphasis on intention and focus when moving. Calmness and concentration are important if the benefits of this practice are to be attained.
The practice of qigong can range from merely swaying your arms back and forth while counting your breath to one of the more complex styles seen in martial arts.
With such a range of practice, it is important to include these elements in your qigong exercises.
The elements of qigong exercises are:
1. Intentional movement
The key here is to apply intention to your movement by focusing on why you are moving, how you are moving and the controlled pace of your movement.
This element increases body awareness, weakness of the body, and proper execution of the exercise.
2. Body posture
To allow energy or qi to flow through the body effectively, you must be focused on the posture of your body.
This will not only improve the flow of energy through your body but will also aid in strengthening the skeletal musculature of your body. This intern will promote self-confidence and better aesthetic appeal.
3. Rhythmic breathing
Rhythmic breathing is an essential key to calmness and tranquillity. The act of rhythmical breathing can also promote balance in your body’s acidic and alkaline levels.
In qigong, there are certain energy points that are focused on, which increase body awareness, calmness, and energy or qi flow.
The awareness is usually kept on one of the major energy points of the body. There are about 23 main points that are used in the standing practice of qigong, as well as many others in other styles.
The power of chanting and sound in qigong is strongly related to the 5 elements of Chinese traditional medicine.
These five elements are earth, water, fire, metal, and wood. Each element has a color, sound, season, and focused organ. The idea behind using a certain sound in chanting qigong is to stimulate the organ and element by using the related sound.
The elements are broken down as follows:
- Organ: Lungs
- Color: White
- Sound: “SSSS”
- Season: Fall
- Organ: Kidneys
- Color: Blue
- Sound: “CHOOO”
- Season: Winter
- Organ: Liver
- Color: Green
- Sound: “SHHH”
- Season: Spring
- Organ: Heart
- Color: Red
- Sound: “HAAHHHH”
- Season: Summer
- Organ: Spleen
- Color: Yellow
- Sound: “WHOOOO”
- Season: Late summer
Throughout the practice of qigong exercise, you will be constantly in a focused state of mind, concentrating on movement, breathing, and awareness of the body.
The aim is to be relaxed and calm while in practice.
It is this relaxation that allows the energy to flow through the body, the body to restore energy, and the mind to come into balance.
Although increased balance is a benefit to doing qigong, it is also a focus. You must actively be adjusting your center of gravity with the movements to keep a stable and supportive base.
As long as the above elements are present in your practice you will get the benefits of qigong in whichever style or form you choose.
Common Styles of Qigong
As qigong is merely the art of moving energy throughout the body, the forms of practice are vast and different.
Qigong involves practices such as acupressure, acupuncture, massage, meditative practice, use of external agents, and even sleeping, sitting, and walking qigong.
In this article, we are focusing specifically on the dynamic practice of qigong. This is a style of movement encompassing meditation, self-healing, and breathing exercises.
Within the section of dynamic qigong, there are, as mentioned before, many styles.
Below is a list of some of the dynamic qigong movement styles of which there are over 100 000 different styles.
Here are some of the most common styles in qigong:
1. Soaring Crane
This form was created in 1979 by Master Zhao Jin-Xiang. It is popular due to the ease of learning and applying the style as well as being one of the most effective forms of medical qigong practice.
2. Wisdom Healing
Dr. Ming Pang, a Grandmaster of qigong, trained in both western and eastern medicine chose to use his knowledge from both perspectives and create the wisdom healing qigong style or otherwise known as Chi-Lel Qigong. This style is often practiced in groups with the help of an instructor.
3. Pan GU Mystical
Otherwise known as Pangu Shengong, derives from the word “Shen” as spirit, mind, consciousness, or divine. It focuses on kindness and benevolence by absorbing the primary sources of qi in the universe such as the sun and moon energies.
4. Dragon and Tiger
A doctor of traditional Chinese medicine named Zhang Jia Hua passed the art of Dragon Tiger Qigong down by teaching thousands of instructors in the 1960s and 1970s. Dragon Tiger Qigong has the added emphasis on flexibility and agility in its practice.
This style was developed by Chan San Feng, a Chinese Sage of Taoist belief. It goes by other names such as Wuji Qigong or Tai Chi of enlightenment and involves 13 movements created for self-defense. A second short form was created for enlightenment.
Qigong Exercises vs. Tai Chi
It is fairly difficult to state a clear difference between Qigong and Tai Chi, as they both encompass a lot of the same focuses and benefits. It is also difficult because Tai Chi has 5 major styles (and each one with variations) and qigong has over 100,000 styles.
The first big difference is that tai chi is a derivative of qigong. While qigong encompasses many different aspects of energy or qi (or chi or ki) work, tai chi only encompasses its styles and forms. Tai Chi, which is a part of Tai-chi-Chuan, came from one of the branches of a 3,000-year-old Taoist qigong tradition.
The other not-so-significant (yet sometimes the details make the difference) difference, is that both forms have different movements. Even though tai chi and qigong focus on similar elements and benefits, the movement style and flow are very different.
Level Up Your Qigong Practice
With over 100,000 styles available to choose from, it can be extremely confusing to begin your practice of qigong. The key to starting a practice lies within the focus and consistency of practice, not the style of practice you choose.
To help you begin, here is a great beginner’s video by Qigong Master, Lee Holden:
Choose the qigong exercise you like best and begin. Whether it’s 10 minutes a day or 1 hour, you’ll find the benefits to it, so just begin. Move your way to self-healing and soulful balance with the ancient and beautiful art of qigong.

Main diet should provide adequate intake of protein, limit carbohydrates and foods that stimulate the activity of the pancreas (strong meat broths, marinades, fried foods, etc.).
Take enzymes. Substances, conducive to digestion, can relieve pain and suppress the natural production of pancreatic enzymes, which makes it possible to reduce the load on the body.
Drink painkillers. To reduce the pain and alleviate the overall condition take analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Use herbal methods. Herbal treatment can be performed in periods of remission, and do not combine with taking drugs. Prepare the fruit of fennel, chamomile flowers and the flowers of Helichrysum in equal proportions, brew with boiling water and heat on a water bath.

Ghana recorded 17,351 Covid-19 cases as at 28 June, with 12,994 recoveries.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who disclosed thisin his 13th broadcast to the nation on the COVID-19 pandemic, noted that, “This means that, currently, we have 4,245 active cases, having conducted 294,867 tests, one of the highest on the continent”.
He said 30 persons were severely and critically ill, and that the nation had a total of 112 sad deaths, constituting 0.6 per cent of positives, as “we maintain one of the lowest death rates in the world.”
He reiterated that one of the key objects of government’s fight against COVID-19 had been to save lives, and reduce the number of deaths.
He said the Ghana Health Service (GHS) had observed that most of the patients that succumbed to the virus died either on arrival at the hospital, or within 48 hours after arrival.
“Unfortunately, we still have some persons in the country who are not taking the dangers associated with this disease seriously, and, therefore, do not seek medical help as soon as they have symptoms that suggest an infection of the virus,” the President stated.
“There should be no fear of stigmatisation or embarrassment with being diagnosed with COVID-19. So, please, when you begin to experience symptoms such as fever, persistent cough, bodily pains, loss of taste and smell, and difficulty in breathing, seek immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility.”
President Akufo-Addo said most patients, who were critically ill and needed intensive care, did indeed, survive the virus, if they sought medical help promptly.
He gave an example that out of 53 patients admitted into intensive care units (ICU) at the Ga East Municipal Hospital and the University of Ghana Medical Centre, since the pandemic struck, 44 (i.e. 83 per cent), had fully recovered, and had been discharged.
“This is, in part, due to the immense dedication and hard work being exhibited by our healthcare workers, who continue to care for those affected by the virus, and for the sick in general,” he said.
“We all know that these are truly historic times. The world is reeling from the effects of this pandemic, and the things we took for granted, some six months ago, are now under question. The definite and undeniable have been replaced with uncertainty.”
He noted that however, as with any other form of hardship, there were always lessons to be learnt, as there were opportunities for growth.
“What we have witnessed, recently, is that, despite us living in an interconnected and globalised world, each nation, ultimately, stands alone in its challenge to protect its people,” President Akufo-Addo said.
Adding that nonetheless, it was obvious that international co-operation, where feasible and practical, could serve to complement the resolution of national challenges.
He noted that in Ghana, from the very onset, the Government had acted to limit and stop the importation of the virus; contain its spread; provide adequate care for the sick; limit the impact of the virus on social and economic life; and inspire the expansion of domestic capability and deepen self-reliance.

This website promotes more biking in Cupertino to help solve its traffic and pollution problems by creating a more growth sustainable and green community. It cannot solve all such problems but it can play a valuable role to mitigate them. And a case can be made that bicycles may ultimately replace cars in the distant future as traffic and pollution are the primary consequences of our current growth. Cars simply take up too much space on roads and parking when space is at such a premium for habitation and produce climate changing gases. That is what this blog is largely about.
In order to make bicycles more mainstream as a method of commuting we must overcome the reasons for it not being very popular today. According to 2010 census data bicycles account for 0.9% of all modes of commuting in Cupertino so there are plenty of opportunity for growth in its popularity. After all bicycles are The Most Efficient Means of Transportation Devised by Man. So why do so few people commute by bicycle and what motivates those who do to do so?
The latter question is probably more easy to answer. Those who use their bicycles as the primary means of transportation are typically very fit individuals largely doing it for its health and fitness benefits. Secondarily they do it because it is a lot more economical than driving. And to a lessor degree they do it for environmental (reduce greenhouse gases) reasons. As a form of exercise one can get quite high on it which encourages one to do more of it. I used to bike part way to a carpool going to work when much younger when gas was around $0.75 per gallon and know the feeling.
So the broader question is what is stopping most of those driving from biking. There will always be 25-35% of people who never learned to ride a bike. So that leaves 65-75% who know how to bike but don’t. Riding a bike is also quite easy to learn and it can be a lot of fun and very rewarding. Since I am most familiar with myself I’ll list my reluctance to bike more than I do which are likely similar to others:
UNSAFE – after retiring I took up low impact biking to improve my health. But our streets have far more threatening traffic now than when I was young which is the first and primary reason I restrict my biking to a smaller area around my neighborhood. The fear of being hit by a car is probable 90% of the reason why I am reluctant to ride my bicycle more extensively. If Cupertino had bike lanes that I fell safe riding that physically separated me from traffic I would probably cycle daily throughout Cupertino which is physically a relatively small city by Bay Area standards. It is less than 10 miles across, something a casual cyclist can do in a little over an hour and a strong cyclist can do in half that time depending on signal lights and traffic. So for me Safety is the single greatest factor that inhibits me from bicycling more frequently and extensively and I believe also why biking is not more popular. So streets must FIRST BE MADE TO FEEL SAFE before more people will try cycling. Survival is an overriding instinct.
Unappealing – the second reason for my reluctance to bike is the noise and distractions of cars whizzing by on our streets. I really enjoy riding bicycle trails away from traffic such as the Stevens Creek Trail in Cupertino. But it is far too short and leads to nowhere of great interest except on special occasions. Four cities along Stevens Creek are collaborating to see if they can join segments of this trail into a single continuous trail though all four cities which would go all the way to the Bay Shore in Mountain View. This would be so fantastic! Mountain View has done an excellent job of developing this trail through their city leaving it as natural as possible with an asphalt trail for bikes and pedestrians unlike in Cupertino where it is over developed with a wide concrete trail. I’d also like the Southern Pacific trail along the railroad tracks made into a bikeable bicycle trail. You can bike it now in the dry season but there are sections where you must ride feet from the tracks on loose gravel next to culverts and the utility road is badly rutted. This trail can run all the way from the city of Saratoga’s Joe’s Trail through Cupertino to near the Lehigh Cement Plant. It provides several shortcuts through parts of town such as between Rainbow Dr. and McClellan Rd. providing a safe route for students to bike and walk from Rainbow Dr. to the tri-school area and a nice route for people to bike or walk from near Rainbow Dr. to the Post Office on Stevens Creek Blvd. if culverts could be bridged and the trail paved or properly maintained as a walkable/bikable trail with safe crosswalks across interesting streets. But as it stand right now it is dangerous to cross streets intersected by the trail and the trail is badly rutted and unridable after a rain.
Inconvenience – the third reason for not biking more is inconvenience. Navigating some of our urban sprawl mazes of streets to try to bypass more dangerous heavily trafficked streets to get around and dodging cars in shopping centers parking lots is not very inviting. Designing parking lots at shopping centers and places of interest to stop would be convenient. Currently bicyclists and pedestrians must keep a sharp eye out for cars backing out of parking spaces. Having more paths between parking rows would be nicer for both those walking to their cars and biking to shop and draw more bikers who don’t take up so much parking space. Shopping areas need to make themselves far more bicycle/pedestrian friendly with areas where bicycles can ride without worrying about running into cars. In cities such as New York Time Square they close off traffic to cars on certain days to encourage people to walk and bike. Local businesses thought this would discourage shoppers and would become a big flop but it grew to be such a big success drawing in even more shoppers and diners that they now do it on a regular basis. It would be nice if Cupertino could do something similar by closing off certain streets to traffic on certain days or even encourage certain shopping centers to prohibit parking on certain days with flee/farmers markets in the parking lots. Shortcuts around town to popular locations that cars are prohibited from taking will encourage more to bike instead of drive. The Bicycle Pedestrian Commission is opening up some blocked paths to bicycles. If the major roads can be made safe for casual bikers these shortcuts might become more popular for biking. I can bicycle from Stelling Rd. through Jollyman Park on the sidewalk to take a short cut to De Anza Blvd. But I am not sure if biking on the sidewalk in the park is legal and from Jollyman Park to De Anza Blvd. requires a bit of navigation since there are no signs pointing out directions and the streets go in many different directions. But it is a more convenient and safer shortcut. Having a lot more secure bicycle parking racks scattered throughout town would also make parking bicycles more secure and worry free and convenient.
These are only a few examples. I feel that if the city added many features such as these more than 20% of our residents would eventually start to bicycle around town instead of drive. Biking with the entire family is a fantastic experience as long as it can be done safely.

Carla Abellana is helping efforts to educate the public on how to prevent the overpopulation of stray dogs.
The actress, known for her advocacy on animals rights and welfare, did so by recently sharing information from animal rescue foundation Pawssion Project, as per her Instagram page on Saturday, March 6.
“How many strays do we have in Bacolod City alone? Over 60,000. (Almost 13 million in the Philippines),” Abellana shared.
This problem can be resolved if “only each one of them will share [at least] 1,000-1,500 pesos to have them neutered.”
“Complaining without doing something is very toxic. Again, that’s roughly 60M for spay and neuter in Bacolod alone. But [that’s] doable if everyone will do their part,” the group said.
“And we try to conduct as many FREE Spay and neuter drives as we can, at our own cost so many can have it for free. Also, if you can afford to order in Shopee or buy a new phone, maybe you can also set aside money for spay and neuter of a stray or even your own pet. Lets prioritize those who cannot really afford to even feed their families.”
Abellana’s post stated that although animal rescue can be costly, it can still be done through collective effort, to “put an end to the killings, the animal cruelty, [and] the growing population of strays.”
As summer is coming, dogs are in heat and more likely to be aggressive, so anti-rabies vaccinations are encouraged by the group, along with cooperation in spay and neuter drives. The group also pointed out that “dogs wont be out in the streets if more people choose to adopt.”
“Adopt and give strays and rescues a home. It lessens the dogs in the street. Donate to spay and neuter drives. Most LGUs don’t have it for FREE,” the group said. “If you complain and just wait, more dogs will be impounded. Be a responsible pet owner.” JB

NEW DELHI: Questioning the modelling methodology used by WHO to estimate 4.7 million deaths in India due to Covid
or its impact, top health experts have expressed disappointment over the global health body's "one-size-fits-all" approach to arrive at the figure. ICMR
Director General Balram Bhargava, NITI Aayog Member (Health) V K Paul
, AIIMS Director Randeep Guleria
's Covid-19 Working Group Chairman Dr N K Arora on Thursday rejected the WHO report as "untenable and unfortunate".
In its report released on Thursday, WHO estimated that nearly 15 million people were killed either by the coronavirus or by its impact on the overwhelmed health systems in the past two years, more than double the official death toll of six million.
Most of the fatalities were in Southeast Asia, Europe and the Americas.
According to the report, there were 4.7 million Covid deaths in India -- 10 times the official figures and almost a third of Covid deaths globally.
Rejecting it, Dr V K Paul said India has been telling WHO with all humility through diplomatic channels along with data and rational reasoning that it does not agree with the methodology that has been followed for the country.
They have used a methodology for several nations which is based on a systematic collection of data on deaths.
"We have a similar system, a robust Civil Registration System (CRS). We released that report yesterday (Wednesday) and we have an actual count of deaths for 2020... the 2021 numbers will also come up," he said.
The Civil Registration System of India provides accurate estimates emanating from the ground, certified and validated by the district and the state administration.
"We want them to have used these numbers. Unfortunately, despite our emphatic writing and communication at the ministerial level, they have chosen to use the numbers that are based on modelling and assumptions," Paul said.
"Modelling is a one-size-fits-all kind of assumption and you may apply it where the systems are poor. But to apply assumptions based on a subset of states and on reports that come from websites and media, and then you come out with an exorbitant number is not tenable. We are disappointed with what WHO has done," he stated.
These kinds of assumptions used for a nation of India's size "to put us in poor light is not desirable," Paul added.
Assuring the country that the government has nothing to hide, Paul said there is still an active process by which Covid deaths are being reconciled.
"Our numbers are there and we have a robust system from the ground. We, therefore, do not accept these numbers, we reject them," he said.
On what would be India's next step, Paul said, "We will communicate our stance systematically. We have a rebuttal by way of educating people and the public at large through our press release.
"We will go back to WHO to explain this and at the same time we would like to make sure that our stand is put forth around the world."
The NTAGI's Covid-19 Working Group Chairman, Dr N K Arora, described the WHO report as very unfortunate.
"India has performed unexpectedly well in Covid-19 management. In fact, many prestigious journals in the world had predicted doom for India," he said.
"They thought India will just collapse both as a nation as well as an economy and as a health system. But it never happened because we as a country came together and managed it very well"
Dr Arora said India's mortality per million is among the lowest compared to many advanced nations.
"I think people should now learn how to digest that they can learn even from India how to manage pandemics... I think the time has come that we should be more confident in ourselves and the way we are doing it. In fact, the world has a lot to learn from us," he said.
Dr Balram Bhargava said there was no definition of Covid deaths.
"Even WHO did not have any definition for death... So, we looked at all the data that we had and we concluded that 95 per cent of the deaths that occurred after testing positive for Covid-19 were occurring in the first four weeks. So a 30-day cut-off was given for the definition of death," he said.
"This robust definition that I think only the NHS in the UK and we have used it. Many countries don't have this definition because this is dependent on giving compensation and other issues.
"We used this definition based on data.... all that is systematically collected. Once we have systematic data, we do not need to rely on modelling, extrapolations and press reports and using them to put into a modelling exercise," Dr Bhargava said.
Dr Randeep Guleria also raised objections to the WHO report.
"I'll give three broad reasons for that. One is that India has a very robust system of birth and death registration and that data is available. WHO has not used that data.
"The second important issue is the data that WHO used is more hearsay evidence or what has been there in the media or from unconfirmed sources. That data itself is questionable. To do modelling on that data is not correct and it's not scientifically the right, especially when you have data," he said.
Another issue is that India has been very liberal in offering compensation to people who have died from Covid-19 and that has been there in a very open manner, Dr Guleria said.
"So, even if there were excess Covid-related deaths, they would have been recorded because people would have come forward for compensation," he added.

Address: 6319 State Route 30, Lake Clear, New York 12945
Year built: 1886 by Millard F. Otis
Adirondack Daily Enterprise, May 5, 2006
Lake Clear Lodge is celebrating its 40-year anniversary.
Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge is celebrating 40 years in business the month of May. There were several other people who built the lodge and had a business there. The lodge house and red barn were built in 1886, by Millard and Anna Otis, who happen to be Cathy Hohmeyer's great-uncle and -aunt. They ran it as a boarding house, trading post and carriage stop for people going from the Lake Clear Junction to Saranac Inn. Ernest said that he found an old basket of receipts in the attic that were all signed by Millard Otis, who had a post office from 1887 to 1893 at the lodge.
Fred and Julelia Jarvis [sic]1 lived in downtown Lake Clear Junction and they had a livery business. They bought the lodge in the 1920s, moving there livery business to the red barn. They turned the lodge into a true inn with meals for their guests. They owned more than 100 acres from the lake to way across the main road that was built in the 1930s. Up until then the road was at the back of the lodge running alongside the railroad tracks. It's still visible today.
The Jarvis's built nine cabins, some down at the lake. Fred died in 1955. Julelia stayed there for a couple more years. She sold all the cabins at the lake privately to several people. Across from the main road went to the state. She lived in the lodge, keeping that until she left and passed away. Four days before Christmas in 1965, Ernest (Sr.) and Elsbeth Hohmeyer purchased the lodge.
It's the usual story. They had been vacationing in the Adirondacks for years with their three children and just happened to be driving by and saw the for sale sign. The rest is history. So, while Ernest Sr. stayed down state, Elsbeth, her two daughters and Ernest Jr. moved into a large home that was supposed to be winterized and had not been lived in for ten years. But they managed, got the lodge winterized, and on May 28, Ernest Sr.'s birthday, opened for business as The Lodge, serving meals to the public. The first meals that were served were five-course meals that cost $5.50 Wow! ...
Ernest Sr. passed away in 2001. Elsbeth winters in Florida. Ernest (Jr.) and Cathy Hohmeyer have taken over the business and are carrying on...

Glass block has a long standing history in architectural design, first patented in 1866 by Gustave Falconnier. Glass bricks, or “briques de verre,” were blown into a mold with a hollow center and an open hole at the end, which was then filled with a plug. The end of this glass block has been left open, so that it can serve as a vase. Very Post-modern and Art Deco at the same time.

The Norton Commando is a British Norton-Villiers motorcycle with an OHV pre-unit parallel-twin engine, produced by the Norton Motorcycle company from 1967 until 1977. Initially having a nominal 750 cc displacement, actually 745 cc (45.5 cu in), in 1973 it became an 850 cc, actually 828 cc (50.5 cu in). It had a hemi-type head, similar to all OHV Norton engines since the early 1920s.
During its ten years of production, the Commando was popular all over the world. In the United Kingdom it won the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968 to 1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total.
Associated Motor Cycles (AMC), Norton's parent company, had become bankrupt in 1966 and had been purchased by Manganese Bronze Holdings, who already owned Villiers Engineering, forming Norton-Villiers. Chairman Dennis Poore saw the need to produce a new flagship motorcycle to replace the aging 750 cc Atlas, the engine design of which could be traced back to Bert Hopwood's 1947 497 cc (30.3 cu in) Norton Model 7 twin. Poore set a deadline for the machine to be ready for the 1967 Earls Court motorcycle show.
Former Velocette engineer Charles Udall had joined AMC in 1961 and had designed an 800 cc (49 cu in) DOHC twin and a prototype built using a shortened featherbed frame. This was known internally as P10 (project 10). Poore set up a design team to develop the P10 headed by former Rolls-Royce engineer Dr. Stefan Bauer. However the P10 was complex, leaked oil and would be expensive to manufacture; the design team started to redesign the engine, giving the revised engine a new code of Z26.
Vibration is an inherent problem of vertical twins. Bauer believed the classic Norton featherbed frame enhanced the problem and was not designed in compliance with good engineering principles. Bauer designed a new frame around a single 2.25 in (57 mm) top tube to increase stiffness and rubber mounted the engine to isolate the engine vibrations from the rider.
By the summer of 1967 it was evident that the new engine would not be developed enough for the September Earls Court show. In parallel to the new engine, the existing Atlas engine had been developed and was now putting out more power than the Z26. A decision was made to abandon the new engine and get an Atlas engined new model using Bauer's frame ready for the show. Poore wanted the new machine to look significantly different, so the engine was canted forward (Nortons traditionally had upright cylinders) and consultants Wolff Ohlins were commissioned to design new bodywork. Wolff Ohlins designed a one-piece seat and tail unit which blended into the tank, all in fibreglass.
Rubber mounting the engine had caused problems under acceleration, the rear mounts distorting causing the chain to jump off the engine sprocket. This was overcome by Norton-Villiers Chief Engineer Bernard Hooper and his assistant Bob Trigg by mounting the swinging arm on the engine/gearbox plates rather than the frame, allowing the engine, gearbox and swinging arm to move as one.
Production of the machine was initially complex and located across different parts of England, with the engines produced in Wolverhampton, frames in Manchester, while components and final assembly was at Burrage Grove, Plumstead. In late 1968 Plumstead works was subject to a Greater London Council compulsory purchase order, and closed in July 1969. With assistance of a Government subsidy, the assembly line was moved to North Way, Andover; with the Test Department in an aircraft hangar on Thruxton Airfield. Frame manufacturing was transferred to Wolverhampton, where a second production line produced about 80 complete machines each week. Components and complete engines and gearboxes were also shipped overnight, from Wolverhampton to the Andover assembly line.
Norton Villiers Triumph
Following the problems caused by the Combat engine, Norton's finances had deteriorated. By the middle of 1972 the BSA group was in serious financial trouble as a result of its BSA and Triumph motorcycle activities. The government offered a financial rescue package contingent on a merger of the two groups and Norton Villiers Triumph (NVT) was formed in 1973.
NVT had four factories; Small Heath, Birmingham (ex BSA), Meriden, West Midlands (Triumph) and the two Norton factories at Andover and Wolverhampton. To increase efficiency, the NVT decided to cut this back to two factories. Redundancy notices were issued at Andover in late 1973, followed by a sit-in at the works. Redundancy notices were also issued at Meriden which resulted in a sit-in there which lasted two years. Commando production was transferred in total to Wolverhampton. The Meriden sit-in affected Triumph production at Small Heath as they were reliant on parts from Meriden. By the end of 1974 NVT had lost over £3 million.
In 1975 the Industry Minister recalled a loan for £4 million and refused to renew the company's export credits. The company then went into receivership and redundancies were announced for all of the staff at the various sites. To avoid total liquidation, the Government backed the formation of NVT Engineering Ltd, to produce spares and to complete manufacture of Commandos already started. By September 1977 the outstanding 1,500 Commandos had been completed. The remaining spares were sold to Andover-Norton, who produced a further 30 machines.
The origins of the Commando engine can be traced back to the late 1940s when the 497 cc (30.3 cu in) Norton Model 7 Twin was designed by Bert Hopwood. The twin-cylinder design evolved into 600 cc, then the 650 cc Manxman and Dominator until superseded by 750 cc Atlas before being launched as the 750 cc Commando in 1967.
The canted-forward engine retained the 73 mm (2.9 in) x 89 mm (3.5 in) bore and stroke of the Atlas engine. Compression ratio was raised to 8.9:1 and the engine breathed through two 30mm Amal Concentric carburettors and the power output increased to 58 bhp (43 kW) at 6,500 rpm. An alternator replaced the previous magneto and dynamo. Points for the coil ignition were mounted on a chain driven jackshaft at the rear of the engine where the magneto had previously been positioned. The engine was designated 20M3, the 750 being Norton's model 20 and this engine being the third incarnation of the engine.
When production of the engine moved from Plumstead to Wolverhampton, the engine was updated with the points moving from the rear of the engines to the end of the camshaft, being accessible behind a plate on the timing cover. The tachometer drive was moved from the end of the camshaft to a position more inboard. The rocker covers, which previously had a sandcast finish, were polished on the revised engine. These engines were designated 20M3S.
Transmission retained the pre-unit 4 speed Norton gearbox with a new diaphragm clutch and triplex primary drive. These were accommodated in a new alloy cover that had a single bolt fixing. The gearbox was strengthened and the clutch plates were changed to sintered bronze when the 850 engine was introduced. A hydraulic primary chain tensioner was introduced for the Mk3 850 and the chaincase cover changed to 12 screw fixing in an attempt to cure oil leaks.
The Commando had suffered from premature main bearing failures and in late 1971 a stiffer crankcase was introduced and the drive side main bearing changed from ball to roller. Having roller main bearings on both sides necessitated the use of shims to control endplay. The crankcase breather was also moved from on the camshaft to the rear of the engine.
The 'Combat' engine was introduced in January 1972 and was based on the engine used in the production racer. The combat was stamped with 'C' on top of the engine and delivered 65 bhp (48 kW) at 6500 rpm by using a 10:1 compression ratio, an SS camshaft and 32 mm carburettors. The SS camshaft made the engine 'peaky' with little power so to improve acceleration the overall gearing was reduced. This increased the possibility over overrevving, even in top gear when the red line was reached at 108 mph (174 km/h). The engine proved unreliable, with main bearing failures and broken pistons. The 'Combat' engine's quality control problems exacerbated the company's troubles. On the Commando engine the chain driving the camshaft was difficult to adjust and was frequently missed during maintenance and servicing. As the points were driven off the camshaft, this led to incorrect ignition timing that added to the problems. The failures were resolved by fitting 'superblend' main bearings and lower compression ratio pistons, which had oil drain holes rather than the slots of the pistons carried over from the Atlas. About 1,500 engines in production were re-worked to the revised specification as well as customer machines being dealt with under warranty. The gearing was also raised on the final 750 cc engines. Revisions to the engine and warranty claims led to few Commandos being available to the public in late 1972. The 750 engine was discontinued at the end of 1973.
The engine size was increased to 828 cc for 1973 by increasing the bore size from 73 to 77 mm and was marketed as an 850. The bottom end of the engine was strengthened and used longer bolts to retain the cylinders. The superblend main bearings were retained. Stronger pistons were used and several measures introduced to try and eliminate oil leaks. An anti-drain valve was fitted into the timing cover on the Mk3 850s to stop oil draining from the oil tank to the sump when the bike was standing.
Using a concept designed by Doug Hele for the Triumph twins, the NVT R&D department, under Norman White, developed a balancing system for the Norton engine to resolve the low speed vibrations of the Commando. The system used an extra conrod and dummy piston and cylinder at 90° to the main cylinders. Whilst the system was never used in production, a similar system was later used by Ducati on the Supermono and BMW on the F800.
A short-stroke 750 was introduced in 1974 and used in the factory racers. It used the 77 mm bore of the 850 with a shorter throw, 80.4 mm, crankshaft. The short-stroke engine was offered as an option on the road going John Player Special.
The Commando used the isolastic frame designed by Bauer, Hooper and Trigg. The Roadholder forks were carried over from the Atlas as were the silencers. An 8 in (200 mm) tls front brake that had been an option on previous models was fitted. A new fibreglass tank that tapered towards rear was fitted and matched with a combined seat/rear mudguard. The front of the seat had two "wings" that extended either side of the tank.
In 1969 reports were received from the American importer, Berliner Motor Corporation, of 5 fatalities caused by frame failures. The failures had occurred around the head stock and the American authorities were threatening for ban the import of the bike. Extensive testing of the bike was undertaken at the Chobham testing facility and the problem identified. Ken Sprayson of Reynolds Tube Company, who made the frames for Norton, designed a modified frame to resolve the problems. The modification replaced the existing steering head gusset bracing with a small diameter tube and the top engine steady and petrol tank mountings were moved onto this tube.
The front end was revised in 1969, fork shrouds and gaiters were dropped and replaced with chromed stanchions with a rubber dust seal.
The centre stand was difficult to use and hung low causing it to ground when cornering. In late 1970 the stand was mounted on the engine plates rather than the frame which was easier to use and gave better ground clearance. The side stand was short and unstable, and was replaced with a longer item with a different mounting. Also for the 1971 model year, sealed steering head bearings and new yokes replaced the previous adjustable bearings. With the introduction of the 850 in 1973, the yokes were changed again to change the steering head angle from 27° to 28°, and a stronger centre stand added.
The isolastic system required correct tolerances to work correctly. The tolerances were adjusted by inserting metal shims. The bushes were changed in 1970 to enable easier replacement and with the introduction of the MK3 850 in 1975, adjustable bushes were fitted eliminating the need for shims and making adjustment easier.
Tyres on the Commando were initially 3.00 x 19 ribbed front and 350 x 19 block rear. Following Malcolm Uphill's 100 mph lap in the 750 cc Production TT at the 1969 Isle of Man TT on a Triumph fitted with Dunlop TT100 tyres, the Commando was shod with TT100s, 360 x 19 front and 410 x 19 rear. This was later changed to 4.10 width on both front and rear.
A front disc brake was added as an option from early 1972 and became standard in mid-1972 for all models except the Hi Rider which continued with the drum brake until 1973. A rear disc was added on the 1975 Mk3 850s.
750 cc models
The Norton Commando was introduced in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968. Each bike was road tested and any faults rectified before delivery. The bikes were painted British racing green and the oil tank and left hand side cover were painted silver. The Frame and engine cylinders were finished in black. The model suffered a number of frame breakages.
The original model was designated the 'Fastback' in March 1969 to differentiate it from the newly introduced 'S' and 'R' models. A modified frame was fitted to overcome the earlier breakages. A Mk2 Fastback was introduced in September 1970 with revised stands, chain guard, alloy levers with integrated switchgear. and the 20M3S engine. A metal tank, 4.10 x 19 front tyre, upswept exhausts and reverse cone megaphone silencers were fitted on the 1971 MK3.
The ‘Combat engine’ engine was introduced in January 1972 in the Mk4 Fastback. The last of the fastbacks, the MkV, was produced from November 1972 to mid-1973 as a 1973 model and featured improved crank bearings and the standard grind camshaft. Compression was reduced to 9.4:1.
The R model was introduced in 1969 with more conventional styling aimed at the American market. The fibreglass seat and tank of the fastback were replaced with a conventional 2.5 imp gal (11 l; 3.0 US gal) tank, seat and rear mudguard finished in blue or red. The model used the 20M3 engine and was only produced in 1969.
Also introduced in 1969 and aimed for the American market, was the scrambler style S model which had a high level left-side exhausts. The model used the same fibreglass tank as the R model, and a central oil tank was introduced covered by fibreglass side panels. The tank and side panels were finished in metalflake paint. A 5 in (130 mm) chrome headlight was fitted and the front mudguard and chainguard were also chromed. Fork shrouds and gaiters were replaced with a dust seal and chrome plated stanchion. Production continued until the introduction of the 1971 SS model.
After some police forces expressed interest in the Commando, Neale Shilton was recruited from Triumph to produce a Commando to police specifications. The end result was the 'Interpol' machine, which sold well to police forces, both at home and abroad. The 750 cc machine was fitted with panniers, top box, fairing, radio mountings, police lights, and auxiliary equipment.
The machine was first exhibited at the 1969 Brighton Bike Show and was fitted with an Avon fairing with a blue light and Craven panniers. The tank was derived from the Atlas, but with a modified underside to clear the Commando's top frame tube, and a single seat. Shilton took the bike around the UK demonstrating it to the various police forces. Once production started, the basic machine was assembled in the factory and the accessories such as fairings and panniers were fitted off-site. The exact specification varied dependent on the individual forces' requirement. A disc front brake was offered as an option in 1971 and became standard in 1972. Fitment required new handlebars so the master cylinder cleared the fairing. Reverse cone silencers were fitted in 1972, but not upswept like other models in the Commando range so as to give room for the panniers. The larger Interstate tank was fitted from 1972
Most Interpols were finished in white, but some were supplied in dark blue or black and without fairings to be used as 'unmarked' vehicles.
The 'Interpol' name was retained for Norton's later Norton Interpol 2 rotary engined Police motorcycle.
A production racer, featuring a tuned engine, front disc brake and finished in bright yellow was introduced in 1970. It became known as the 'Yellow Peril'. The machine was hand built at the Norton Villiers Performance Centre at the Thruxton Circuit until 1972.
In March 1970 the updated S called the 'Roadster' was introduced. It had a low-level exhaust and upward-angled silencers with reverse cones.
In 1973 the Roadster was available with the 850 engine, initially as an option but from October 1973 as the sole engine. Production of the Roadster continued until 1977 when manufacture of the Commando stopped, although few Roadsters were made in the final year. The Roadster was the most popular of the Commando models.
The SS was launched in May 1971 and was an update of the S model. A smaller “peanut” tank was fitted with a shortened seat. The front mudguard was mounted high and the model had a high level pipe each side fitted with a "peashooter" silencer. The model was only produced for 3 months.
With Easy Rider styling, the Hi Rider was launched in May 1971. It featured 'ape-hanger' handlebars, a 'banana seat' and a 'sissy bar'. A small highlight and 2.0 imp gal (9.1 l; 2.4 US gal) tank were fitted. A front disc brake was introduced in 1973.
The Fastback LR with increased petrol tank capacity was available from July 1971. Aimed at the Australian market, where most of this model were exported to, production was around 400 machines during 1971 and 1972. The model had a shortened seat with the 'wings' of the fastback and a 3.9 imp gal (18 l; 4.7 US gal) tank. The tank was based on the tank used on the Atlas, but with a different base to clear the Commando's top tube. The machines were available in red or green paintwork.
The Interstate was introduced in January 1972 using the combat engine. A large 5.25 imp gal (23.9 l; 6.30 US gal) petrol tank was used, which was soon increased to 5.5 imp gal (25 l; 6.6 US gal).
In 1973 the Interstate was available with the 850 engine, initially as an option but from October 1973 as the sole engine. Production of the Interstate continued until 1977 when manufacture of the Commando stopped. During the final year most of the Commando production was of the Interstate model.
850 cc models
The larger 850 engine was introduced initially as an alternative to the 750, but as the sole option from late 1973. All 850 models were fitted with a front disc brake.
The Mk1 850 was introduced in March 1973 as Roadster, Interstate, Hi Rider and Interpol versions using the new 828 cc engine. All were fitted with a disc front brake and indicators and had a balance pipe between the exhausts.
To meet the European noise requirements the Interstate and Roadster were available as a Mk1A version with the quieter exhaust using 'annular discharge' and larger airbox. The 2nd gear ratio was raised to help pass the noise test.
The Mk2 was introduced in 1974 in Interstate, Roadster, Hi rider and Interpol versions. The barrels reverted to being silver painted and the petrol tank on the Interstate was reduced to 4.5 imp gal (20 l; 5.4 US gal). A new colour scheme was available for the roadster: white with red and blue pinstripes.
John Player Special
In 1974 a limited edition version of the Commando was introduced that was fitted with bodywork styled to reproduce the successful Formula 750 works racers that were sponsored by cigarette manufacturers John Player & Sons. The machine was based on the Mk2A 850 Commando. Around 200 of these machines were made, of which about 120 were exported to the US. The bike was expensive, selling for around $3,000 in the US, $500 more than a standard Commando.
The Norton catalogue listed the model being available with the short-stroke engine used on the 1974 racer, either in full race tune or detuned for road use. It is not known how many 750s were made.
The 850 cc MK3 Commando was launched in 1975 with an improved specification – electric starter, isolastic head steady for improved vibration absorption, left side gear change and right side foot brake to comply with United States vehicle regulations, and a rear disc brake. The electric starter did not work as well as planned and could fail to start the engine when cold.
The range of models was reduced to just two machines, the Mk3 Interstate and the Roadster. The specification remained unchanged until October 1977 when the last machines were made, although few Roadsters were made in the end due to the higher cash sales value of the Interstate.
The weight of the Mk3 had risen to 492 lb (223 kg) and combined with the higher gearing made this one of the slowest Commando models with a top speed of around 105 mph (169 km/h). The model was however the most reliable, oil-tight and robust of the Commandos.
An updated model, the 'Norton 76' was planned for 1976 but never reached production. The model featured cast wheels, twin front disc brakes and a new tank and seat. A prototype '900 Commando' was also produced. It used a Triumph T180 triple engine (a T160 Trident engine increased in capacity to 870 cc) in Commando cycle parts. An 8 valve version of the engine was also in development.
From its 1967 beginnings the Commando took part in racing events. After successes in 1969 by factory and dealer-entered machines like Paul Smart's second and Mick Andrew's 4th places in the Isle of Man TT Production class and a win in the Hutchinson 100 Production Class by Mick Andrew on the Gus Kuhn entered Commando and 5th by Peter Williams, the company decided to produce a production racing model which became known as the Yellow Peril.
One of the first victories for the bike was at the 1970 Thruxton 500 with riders Charlie Sanby and Peter Williams. At that year's Isle of Man 750 Production TT, Williams came close to winning but ran out of petrol with sight of the finish line whilst leading. One of the first bikes was brought by an Italian team and on it their rider, Giuliano Ermanno, won the 1970 100 Miglia di Imola. At the 1971 Isle of Man TT, Williams set a new lap record of over 101mph in the 750 Production TT before retiring.
With sponsorship from John Player to promote their John Player Special brand of cigarettes the John Player Norton racing team was set up in November 1971 to compete in Formula 750 events. Current 250cc world champion Phil Read was recruited to the team, as was former Suzuki GP rider Frank Perris to act as team manager. The bikes were designed by Peter Williams.
A new bike was designed for 1973 with a semi-monocoque chassis giving a small frontal area and low centre of gravity by carrying the oil and fuel as low as possible. A Peel-type fairing incorporating handlebar blisters and seat tailpiece were developed in the MIRA wind tunnel and the drag coefficient was reduced to 0.39.
The 1974 model was built with a compact space frame to keep the frontal area as small as possible and was again fitted with an all-enveloping peel-style fairing. Williams and Dave Croxford competed at a number of European such as Imola and Spa, where Williams won.
The John Player sponsorship had been for 3 years. As Norton's parent company at the time, Norton Villiers Triumph, were experiencing financial difficulties, the racing programme was cut back. The sponsorship deal with John Player wasn't renewed.
Following the demise of Norton and the end of Commando production, a number of companies have produced "new" Commandos, either re-manufacturing Norton built machines or new builds using newly manufactured parts. These include:
- Colorado Norton Works
Swede Matt Rambow, who emigrated to the US in 1984, opened his workshop in Dolores, Colorado in 1997. The remanufactured machines can be built to customers specifications including upgrades to modern suspension, brakes etc.
- Vintage Rebuilds
Kenny Dreer started rebuilding Commandos at Vintage Rebuilds in the 1990s. The workshop is located near Portland, Oregon. Dreer started to upgrade the machines he rebuilt with modern suspension, brakes and other updated components. In 1999 he produced a run of about 50 VR880 machines. The VR880 has a beefed up engine of 880 cc, updated suspension and brakes and used 80% new components. A few were fitted with hand -formed aluminium bodywork by Evan Wilcox.
- Norvil Motorcycle Company
Norvil was founded in 1980 by Les Emery to produce spares for Norton motorcycles. They are joint owners of the Norvil (Norton-Villiers) trademark and hold a perpetual licence to use the Norton name. As well as manufacturing spares, they also manufacture complete Commandos.
Following on from the VR880, Kenny Dreer of Vintage wanted to build an all-new motorcycle as a successor to the Commando. With funding from Oliver Curme, Dreer hired a small design and development team led by Paul Gaudio (Design and Development Director), Simon-Pierre Smith (Lead Engineer), and Patrick Leyshock (Testing, Sourcing.) The new machine, called the 961 Commando never reached production in America due to lack of funding, and the company closed its doors in April 2006.
UK businessman Stuart Garner brought the rights to the design in 2008 and established a new factory at Donington Park, Leicestershire. The first machine came off the production line in March 2010.

Recently in the news, four people working at a peach farm were sent to the hospital after being struck by lightning in South Carolina. One woman was struck by lightning while de-boarding a plane in Columbia. Lightning struck the Taqueria los Compadres restaurant in Murrells Inlet one Wednesday afternoon, sending three people to the hospital and causing minor injuries to the restaurant owner.
Every year lightning occurs 20 to 25 million times and over 300 people are struck by lightning in the United States alone. About 50 people, on average, have been killed by lightning strikes every year, and many more suffer permanent disabilities. For this reason, precautions should be taken to prevent worker exposure to lightning. Lightning is an occupational hazard to be taken seriously especially for outdoor worksites.
What is lightning?
Lightning is a giant spark of electricity! Lightning can occur:
- Between the cloud and the ground (cloud-to-ground lightning)
- Within and between thunderstorm clouds (intra- and inter-cloud lightning)
What are some precautions?
- Check Weather Reports.
- Prior to beginning any outdoor work, employers and supervisors should check NOAA weather reports (weather.gov) and radio forecasts for all weather hazards.
- When thunder roars, go indoors!
- If you hear thunder, even a distant rumble, get to a safe place immediately. Thunderstorms always include lightning. Any thunder you hear is caused by lightning!
- Stay inside until it is safe!
- Many lightning victims are caught outside during a storm because they did not act promptly to get to a safe place, or they go back outside too soon after a storm has passed.
- Vehicles as Shelter:
- If safe building structures are not accessible, employers should guide workers to hard-topped metal vehicles with rolled up windows. Remain in the vehicle for at least 30 minutes after hearing the last sound of thunder.
- Emergency Action Plan
- Employers should have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP), as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.38 or 29 CFR 1926.35. The EAP should include a written lightning safety protocol for outdoor workers.
What should you do If you are caught outside in a thunderstorm?
First of all, there is no safe place outside during a thunderstorm but if you have no choice and can’t get inside the following might help lower the risk of a lightning strike.
- Lightning is likely to strike the tallest objects in a given area—don’t be the tallest object.
- Avoid isolated tall trees, hilltops, utility poles, cell phone towers, cranes, large equipment, ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops.
- Avoid open areas, such as fields. Never lie flat on the ground.
- Retreat to dense areas of smaller trees that are surrounded by larger trees, or retreat to low-lying areas (e.g., valleys, ditches) but watch for flooding.
- Avoid water, and immediately get out of and away from bodies of water (e.g., pools, lakes).
None of these recommendations work if employees don’t understand them. Translating safety information into languages understood by employees is very important. Also, making sure that they receive safety training in their language is an important and effective way to keep them safe.

Have you developed or had the inkling to develop something that might benefit mankind overall? Or have an individual developed something that will make kitchen life easier in your garage? Regardless products your current or future inventions always be you need acquire the steps to shield them. Getting a patent on your item is a step to insuring no one can copy your product or cheat you out of money.
In order to get a patent for use on your device, product, or service you should have three things. These are money, patent your idea a journal outlining what it really is your offering, and diagrams to illustrate how it succeeds. These can differ in form, presentation, function, or implementation but they are needed in order to get a patent. You in order to be be able showing that your device works and the way works in order for it end up being categorized with the patent office. A person have acquired your patent you have 20 years to research, refine, develop, and market goods with no tournament.
However you don’t need a patent begin production and marketing of your product. You can begin producing and selling your idea immediately if you need to mind cheap imitations and copycat service popping up a person. When you do this and apply for that patent your service will often be labeled patent pending meaning that the application has been recorded.
When acquiring a patent you need check to guarantee your invention is not already in take. The rules are that in case the service, InventHelp Invention Service or product is discovered in this or another country you cannot patent it. Patents cannot be issued for old ideas described in books that have been made feasible with modern technology. For example, scholar A that lived in 300 AD will present had an indisputable fact that wasn’t practical at the time due to technological limitations.
If he published his idea publicly and it is general public knowledge then inventor B cannot get a patent for that makes it work in today’s world. This is due to the fact that care for inventor publicized his new invention at time even though hints a flight of fancy so to speak. This is an extreme example but and also get the way. A person may only apply for a patent if their idea is unique, has not been done before, and is currently not in use by another entity in any known country.
People who file patents jointly both receive the rights to the patent provided that both of them helped develop thinking about. In the instance where one person simply provides the money and another doesn’t work with the idea the person who comes up together with idea will obtain the patent. This will also apply when one person merely follows the instructions of a single who actually came up with the conception.
While patenting your device takes it slow and effort its worth it. Carefully patent is installed no one else can compete with your amount of exact product for 20 years. This is noticeably of time to make improvements and solidify your place looking out. It’s important to note that the investments that you make during this period will make or break your business so spend wisely and avoid business pitfalls.

Meaning ‘Cradle of Gold’ in Quechuan, the entrancing Choquequirao is considered to be Machu Picchu’s hushed-up sister, hidden in the spurs of the Salkantay Mountain Ridge. It is imagined to be an entrance city, if not the main religious centre, to the lofty Incan Vilcabamba empire.
Reached only by a 20-mile hike, the site sits at 3,050 metres above sea level and was discovered in the early 18th century but left unexcavated until the 1970s, meaning only 30 to 40% has been unearthed so far. Hovering over the stunning Apurímac river canyon with views of peaks that seem to catch and hold the clouds as they pass over, Choquequirao spreads itself over 1,800 hectares (larger than Machu Picchu).
The restored parts of the city feature a lovely lawned main plaza, a central temple, aqueducts, crop terraces and residential houses all designed in alignment with the movement of the sun and stars (most Incan cities were) and all underneath the mount of Sunch’u Pata.
More importantly its remoteness, being well off the trodden track, means you have a good chance of sharing the site with just the resident Andean Condors. We offer exclusive four- and five-day private 60-kilometre treks to Choquequirao inclusive of equipment, meals, guides, a chef, pack animals and transfers. Speak to a Travel Designer if you are interested in including a trip to Choquequirao in your luxury Peru tour.
When to go
The Peruvian winter is the best time to trek, as you're likely to be rewarded with clear skies and wonderful views. It is not recommended to trek from December to February due to weather conditions.
What to do
- Wander through the barely excavated crop terraces, plazas, temples and residential houses all open to the sky and barely disturbed since its residents left
- Climb to the ceremonial hill promontory for panoramic views over the entire ruins
- Bask in all magnificence and majesty of your setting
Itineraries including Choquequirao
Whatever you want your luxury tour or safari itinerary to include, we’ll create something fully bespoke for you… and only you.

A crate, also called a cage or kennel, is a wire, wood or fiberglass enclosure big enough for your dog to lie down, stand up, and turn around – no bigger. Not too many years ago, the idea of crating a dog seemed heartless to most dog owners. Fortunately, dog owners see the evidence with their own eyes—most dogs love their crates. Dogs view the crate as a den—a safe haven, my own room! Once accustomed to it, dogs often seek out their crates.
Crate training makes housetraining quicker and easier, prevents destructive chewing, and provides a safe way for a dog to travel. Crate trained dogs often adjust more easily if they board overnight or stay at the vet’s, where they will be in a crate.
Here are the steps to train your puppy or dog to a crate:
1) Place the crate in the kitchen, bedroom, or family room, and encourage your dog to investigate it. Talk to him in a happy voice, even laughing. Rattle it a little, to show that it may make a noise. Talk happily and laugh, showing no concern.
2) Use a cue such as “kennel” or “go to bed,” entice him into the crate with a treat, praise and immediately give a treat. If he gets right out again, that’s OK
3) If he is reluctant to get in, toss a treat just inside the door, then a little further in, a little further, etc. until he gets in on his own. If necessary, physically place him in the crate once or twice, giving him a treat each time. Be sure to let him come right out again if he wants. Repeat this until he gets in on his own.
4) Tell him to “kennel”, give him a treat, and close the door. Scratch him through the bars, with praise, then let him out. Praise enthusiastically while he is in the crate rather than when he comes out.
5) “Kennel”, give him a treat, close the door and walk away for 5 seconds. Return, praise him for being quiet, open the door and let him out. Repeat, gradually increasing the time in 10 second increments.
When you have increased the time your dog is crated, you can crate him when you leave the house. Don’t make a big issue out of it. Act as you did when you left the room. No teary good-byes. Just leave
Feeding your dog in the crate can help acclimate him. Prepare his meal, say “kennel”, put the dish in, close the door and walk away. When he’s done eating, let him out (as long as he’s not barking).
During the training process, give your dog a treat each time he gets in the crate. Once he’s trained, every once in a while give him a treat.
Note: For puppies, have the crate by your bed and put your puppy in it to sleep.
A few “don’ts”
Here are some important things to keep in mind for as long as you’re crating your dog:
- Don’t put your dog in the crate in anger. A crate can be used for a “time out”, but putting him in must be unemotional. You’re simply putting him someplace safe.
- Don’t let a barking dog out of the crate. Freedom (getting out of the crate) rewards the barking. If your dog or puppy is barking in the crate, wait until he’s quiet then let him out.

Grow & Purify Earning and Establish Social Justice, Dr Emdad Khan, Ottawa
Zakaat, pillars of Islam, means to increase, to grow, to purify one’s wealth.
Zakaat is not a governmental tax, but its main purpose is distributing weath to needy. Zakaat was made compulsory at Makkah at the same time as Salaat, in the Surahs of the Qur’aan, Zakaat and salat are mentioned together
Allâh will destroy Ribâ (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqât (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allâh likes not the disbelievers, sinners. (2.276)
يَمۡحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰاْ وَيُرۡبِى ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ (٢٧٦)
Zakaat: benefits us in many ways:
a) pleasure of Allah, b) Increase in wealth c) Protection from losses;
d) forgiveness and blessings, e) Safety from calamities; f) Protection from the wrath of Allah and from a bad death,g) provide a shelter on the Day of Judgement, h) Security from seventy misfortunes;i) shield from the fires of Jahannam, j) Barkat in wealth; &k) saves from fear and grief.
Harim in not giving Zakat
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّ ڪَثِيرً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلۡأَحۡبَارِ وَٱلرُّهۡبَانِ لَيَأۡكُلُونَ أَمۡوَٲلَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡبَـٰطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡنِزُونَ ٱلذَّهَبَ وَٱلۡفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَہَا فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَبَشِّرۡ هُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۬ (٣٤) يَوۡمَ يُحۡمَىٰ عَلَيۡهَا فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكۡوَىٰ بِہَا جِبَاهُهُمۡ وَجُنُوبُہُمۡ وَظُهُورُهُمۡۖ هَـٰذَا مَا ڪَنَزۡتُمۡ لِأَنفُسِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡنِزُونَ (٣٥)
O ye who believe! There are indeed many among the priests/rabbis and monks, who in falsehood devour/eat the wealth of men and hinder (them) from the Way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah: announce unto them a most grievous penalty. (34) On the Day when heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the fire of Hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks and their backs― “This is the (treasure) which ye buried for yourselves: taste ye, then the (treasures) ye buried!” (9.34-35)
In Saheeh Muslim, Abu Hurairah (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “There is no one that possesses gold and silver and doesn’t give his due (Zakat) on it except that on the Day of Judgement, it will be made into plates of fire, then dipped into the Fire of Hell and with it his body, forehead and back will be branded. Each time the plates grow cool, they will be reheated and brand him again. This will occur on a Day the length of fifty thousand years, until Allah judges His servants.”
And in Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Abu Hurairah (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported that Allah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever Allah has given money to and does not give his Zakat for it, it will take the form of a shiny-headed male snake with two black spots over its eyes, which will encircle him on the Day of Judgement and bite his cheeks saying: ‘I am your money, I am your wealth.’”
Who should give Zakaat?
He/ she adult, sane, free and Muslim.
possess wealth in excess of Nisaab excluding his/her personal needs (clothing, household furniture, utensils, cars etc. are termed article of personal needs).
possessed for a complete lunar year.
– Gold 87.48 gram or 7.50 tolas
– Silver 612.36 gram or 52.50 tolas
– cash, stock or bonds, other cash
Nisaab= the cash value of all the assets such as gold, silver, currency etc.
Zakat is due at the rate of 2.5%.
Zakat: 8 Types of People to Receive
۞ إِنَّمَا ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتُ لِلۡفُقَرَآءِ وَٱلۡمَسَـٰكِينِ وَٱلۡعَـٰمِلِينَ عَلَيۡہَا وَٱلۡمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُہُمۡ وَفِى ٱلرِّقَابِ وَٱلۡغَـٰرِمِينَ وَفِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱبۡنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۖ فَرِيضَةً۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَڪِيمٌ۬ (٦٠) سُوۡرَةُ التّوبَة
The alms are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah, and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise. (9.60)
- Fuqaraa: own property of basic necessities but below the value of Nisab.
- Masakeen: Persons of extreme poverty who possess no wealth.
- Aamileen:Those persons who are appointed to collect Zakat.
- Muallafatul Quloob: given Zakat with the intentions of solidifying their hearts, maybe converted or to bring them closer to Islam.
- Ar-Riqaab: slaves to set them free on payment of a fixed amount
- Ibnus-Sabeel: A traveler, even wealthy is stranded & in need of help
- Al Ghaarimeen: A person whose debts exceeds his assets and his net assets is below the Nisab limit.
- Fi Sabeelillah: Those who are away from home in the path of Allah. Those in Jihaad, those seeking knowledge, or a stranded Haji may be assist with Zakat if they are in need.
Allah swt commands us in Surah al-ma ’un, Have you seen him who denies the Recompense? (1) That is, he who repulses the orphan (harshly) (2) And urges not on the feeding of the needy (3).
Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) said, as reported by Sahl bin Sad (RA), I and the person, who looks after an Orphan and provides him, will be in paradise like this, putting his index and middle fingers together, Sahih Al-Bukhari. Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA), the prophet Muhamed (PBUH) said, the one who looks after a widow or a needy person, is lik a mujahid, who fights in Alalh’s cause or like him who performs prayers all night and fasts all the day, Sahih Al-Bukhari

HERD ABOUT IT? by ana grarian
We in the US, we who export our money, resources and young men and women around the world to wage war, have been uniquely exempt from the daily ravages of war. We have not experienced daily bombings. We don’t go through tedious checkpoints. We can drive from coast to coast without worrying about landmines or IED’s. The lights turn on 24/7/365 at the flick of a switch. Heck, most of the time we just leave them on: lights; TV’s; computers; all burning the midnight oil, coal and natural gas with impunity.
Remember our reaction to the isolated incidents of September 11, 2001? The first real attack on our shores since Pearl Harbor. Now just imagine that was happening every day, and that many of the bombings were perpetrated by a ‘friendly’ nation that was ‘helping’ us to free ourselves.
Or perhaps less controversial. Let us suppose that in addition to our humanitarian wars, we accepted refugee populations on a significant level.
NYC – let’s take those tired and poor yearning to be free and put them up in Central Park. We’ll actually need a bit more than that – like twice as much, an area say from Lexington to Columbus Avenue the length of the park. So we will need to commandeer a few more of the city’s parks. This will actually be quite a bit easier than at the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, NYC has infrastructure, water, housing. 130,000 folks should do well there, just another rock concert – with no end in sight.
While we in the US fret over the decision to buy another pair of $100 shoes, or cable vs satellite, people around the world are struggling for existence, in a large part, because of the decisions made by western nations. Much of the problems in the Middle East are exacerbated, if not primarily caused, by International Corporations, the World Bank and the IMF. Not to mention, but I will, the problems caused by the artificial political divisions imposed on them after the World Wars.
Now there is considerable evidence to say the initial cause of the Syrian disaster may be agricultural and an impact of climate change.
Imposing industrial methods of farming to produce non-traditional crops for export, in fragile environments is a recipe for disaster. Years of drought and a push to produce wheat for export, and then the sale of that wheat when the country was already in need of food created a tipping point. (sounds a bit like Ireland in the 1800’s) The flood of destitute and hungry farm families into the cities, which could not absorb them, created a powder keg of unrest.
This IS happening in the US. As industrial agriculture continues to drive farm families and their neighbors out of rural America into the cities that cannot (or won’t) offer enough of them more than low wage jobs, tension on housing, transportation and services increase. If we add in the possibility of real food shortage from drought, flood, pesticide failure, and crop blights it is possible to foresee similar population shifts and social pressure here in the US, in the not too distant future.

States in India Assessed and Ranked According to Different Stages of Development on Manufacturing Competitiveness Index 2014
- Manufacturing Competitiveness Report 2014 is the inaugural edition and the first time that anassessment (in the form of report) of manufacturing has been done on a sub-national level in the Indian economy
- The aim is to measure manufacturing competitiveness and suggest ways to significantly enhance itfor various sub-national regions in the Indian context
- The states have been categorized according to various stages of development of manufacturing. This helps in comparison between states at a similar level of manufacturing development
- Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Tripura and Delhi, emerge as the top performers in respective brackets
- The report will be of use to corporates/ industry bodies and governments who are seeking to understand and enhance manufacturing competitiveness
- The report draws conceptual antecedents from a recent paper of Professor Michael Porter, of Harvard Business School
Manufacturing is a crucial determinant of success of any industrial nation. India’s manufacturing sector amounting to just 15 % of the GDP reflects a deep structural problem with the Indian economy. The Manufacturing Competitiveness Report 2014 of the Institute for Competitiveness, India is an in-depth analysis of the manufacturing sector from a sub-national perspective in the Indian context. It does a measurement, classification and ranking of states.
The Manufacturing Competitiveness Index 2014 draws conceptual antecedents from a recent paper on “The Determinants of National Competitiveness” by Porter et al. Professor Michael E Porter is a Bishop William Lawrence Professor at Harvard University. The index draws on the concept of foundational competitiveness as the expected level of output per working age individual. This is a better way of measuring competitiveness rather that the traditional output per individual as the earlier concept also included children and retired people who were not really contributing directly to the increases in productivity. The index is thus constructed based on 4 interrelated factors ofCompany Operations and Strategy (COS), State Business Environment (SBE), Social Infrastructure and Political Institutions (SIPI) and Macroeconomic Indicators (MI).
Based on the methodology states and union territory of Delhi were divided into 6 categories based on the stage of manufacturing development. These are city-states bracket, strong states, medium to strong bracket, medium bracket, weak to medium bracket and weak bracket.
- Maharashtra and Gujarat are overall better performers in the strong states’ bracket.
- Andhra Pradesh emerges as the most competitive state in the medium to strong states’ bracket.
- Uttar Pradesh and Kerala emerge as the top performers in the medium states’ bracket.
- West Bengal and Orissa emerge as top performers in the weak to medium states’ bracket.
- Tripura and Assam emerge as top performers in the weak states’ bracket.
- Delhi emerges as the most competitive city-state on the Manufacturing Competitiveness Index.
Delhi has done well on all the 4 factors of manufacturing competitiveness. Maharashtra has done particularly well on the business environment factor of the framework used of measurement. Andhra Pradesh has done well on the business environment and macroeconomic indicator factors of manufacturing competitiveness index. Uttar Pradesh has done considerably better than peers in the same category on the company operations and strategy and macroeconomic indicator factors of manufacturing competitiveness index. West Bengal has done well relatively on the business environment and macroeconomic indicator factors of the manufacturing competitiveness index. Tripura has done well on the social and political institution factor of the manufacturing competitiveness index.
For more information on the results, kindly visit:
Learning and Policy Imperatives:
The report can be useful for drawing policy lessons both for corporates and businesses and what steps each of these could take to strengthen manufacturing at a regional level in India. The report also draws lessons from an international perspective, which could be used to boost India’s manufacturing. Specific among these being the rise of China, Germany and Korea basis their focus on export competitiveness in international markets in the past 8-10 years. It concludes with possibilities for improvement and suggestions to improve the manufacturing competitiveness of states by focusing on distinct strategies, which lead to sustainable competitive advantage.
Broad level learning and some policy imperatives include:
- Implementation of infrastructure projects and better connectivity will hold the key for manufacturing sector.
- Simple and stable laws for improvement in transparency and reduction in rent seeking behavior and corruption. This includes doing away with retrospective taxation and relaxed labour laws for improvement in manufacturing output.
- Further reform in the sector for greater investments and greater economic development.
- Focus on specific strategies based on the manufacturing stage of development.
- The central government will have to take proactive steps and make the states stakeholders and equal partners in building infrastructure and manufacturing hubs around them. The need is to look at manufacturing from a state oriented prism rather than only from a central government perspective.
- Focus on exports and value added segment in manufacturing can be another area enabling growth in the sector.
- Focus on MSME’s and identification of clusters, which can be bettered over time with an increase in output. The need is also for better and innovative ways of financing for greater growth.
- Understanding the triple bottom line (economic, environmental and social) and usage of resources appropriately for the greatest good to the greatest number of people.
The report has been co-authored by Dr. Amit Kapoor and Sankalp Sharma.

Madrid, 4 one. (European Press) –
The secret to producing large batches of stem cells more efficiently may lie in near zero-gravity conditions in space. Scientists at Cedars-Sinai in the US have discovered that microgravity has the potential to contribute to life-saving progress on Earth by facilitating the rapid mass production of stem cells.
A new research paper, led by Cedars Sinai and published in the journal Stem Cell Reports, highlights key opportunities discussed during the 2020 Biofabrication in Space Symposium for expanding stem cell manufacturing in space.
Biofabrication — a type of stem cell production that uses biological materials such as microbes to produce biomaterials and materials suitable for use in preclinical, clinical and therapeutic applications — could be more productive under microgravity conditions.
“We are discovering that spaceflight and microgravity are desirable sites for biomanufacturing because they impart very special properties to biological tissues and biological processes that can aid in the large-scale production of cells or other products in ways that are not widely used. They can do on Earth, Explains stem cell biologist Aaron Sharma, a research scientist and head of a new research lab at the Cedar-Sinai Board of Directors Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Smidt Heart Institute and the Department of Biomedical Sciences.
“In the past two decades, there have been remarkable advances in regenerative medicine and tremendous advances in space technologies that open up new opportunities to access and commercialize space,” he adds.
According to the Cedars-Sinai document, participants in a virtual space symposium in December identified more than 50 potential business opportunities for a space biomanufacturing business. The most promising products fall into three categories: disease modeling, biomanufacturing, and stem cell-derived products.
The first, disease modeling, is used by scientists to study diseases and possible treatments by cloning fully functional structures, either with stem cells, organelles (miniature three-dimensional structures grown from human stem cells that resemble human tissue) or other tissues.
Researchers have found that when the body is exposed to low gravitational conditions for extended periods of time, it experiences accelerated bone loss and aging. By developing disease models based on the accelerated aging process, researchers can better understand the mechanisms of the aging process and disease progression.
“Not only could this work help astronauts, but it could also lead us to create skeletal or musculoskeletal structures that can be applied to diseases such as osteoporosis and other forms of accelerated bone aging and muscle wasting that people on Earth suffer.” , Sharma, corresponding author of the article, predecessor.
Another hotly discussed topic at the symposium was biofabrication, which uses manufacturing processes to produce materials such as tissues and organs. 3D printing is one of the main biofabrication technologies.
One of the main problems with producing these substances on Earth is the density created by gravity, which makes it difficult for cells to expand and grow. With no gravity and density in space, scientists hope they can use 3D printing to print unique shapes and products, such as organelles or heart tissue, in a way that cannot be reproduced on Earth.
The third category concerns stem cell production and understanding how some of their basic properties are affected by microgravity. Some of these characteristics are potency, or the ability of a stem cell to renew itself, and differentiation, the ability of stem cells to become other types of cells.
Understanding some of the effects of spaceflight on stem cells may lead to better ways to generate large numbers of cells in the absence of gravity. Cedars-Sinai scientists will send stem cells into space early next year, in collaboration with NASA and private contractor, Space Tango, to test whether it is possible to produce large batches in a low-gravity environment.
Sharma admits: “Although we are still in the exploratory phase for some of this research, this is no longer in the realm of science fiction.” Within the next five years we could see a scenario where we find cells or tissues that can be synthesized in a way that is not possible here on Earth, and I think that’s very exciting,”

Many of us are working from home right now, and your workspace may look a bit different than what you’re used to at the office. Maybe you’re working from the kitchen table with a hard wooden chair serving as your desk chair; maybe your alternative to the standing desk you have at work is standing at the kitchen counter even though you have to hunch a bit; maybe you’re taking advantage of working from the couch or the bed, or maybe you have an actual desk at home, but it’s not the most ergonomic setup.
No matter what your workspace may look like right now, chances are it may not be the healthiest workspace for your back, fuzzy socks and sweatpants aside. While this may not cause any pain or discomfort in the short-term, if your weeks working from home are turning more into months, with some companies extending work-from-home well into 2021, that less-than-ergonomic workstation can set you up for some back injuries down the road.
We spoke to Carson Fairbanks, M.D., an orthopedic spine surgeon on the medical staff at Texas Health Southwest Fort Worth and at Texas Health Orthopedic Specialists, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice, to explain why an ergonomic desk setup is crucial, what certain discomfort or pain may be signaling you about your posture or workstation, and how to set your desk (and yourself) up for success.
“First things first, it is important to note that almost everyone will experience back pain at some point in their life,” Fairbanks explains. “Back pain episodes can range from short-lived to chronic and from very mild to very severe depending on the person. That being said, multiple studies have shown that a great deal of back pain is caused by the lack of proper posture. The way that you stand, sit and lift things on a daily basis adds up over time but a daily focus on proper ergonomics and posture also adds up in a more positive way to ward off back pain.”
Check Your Posture Regularly
Take a moment to stop reading this and check in on your posture. Are you hunched over? Are you craning your neck or straining your eyes to look at the computer screen? Are you sitting with your legs lifted up or maybe crossed underneath you? Are your shoulders hiked up by your ears? Do you feel a faint tinge of discomfort or pain anywhere in your body based on your posture right now? Do you find that you’re constantly having to change positions throughout the day to get comfortable? All of these things, and more, can mean you’re not sitting ergonomically, which can lead to pain, discomfort and injury over time.
“The most common complaint I hear is low back or neck pain that is dull and deep in nature, centered on the midline of the spine, and it tends to worsen from the start of the day to the end of the day,” Fairbanks adds. “This pain can be associated with muscular spasms which cause a more sharp and stabbing pain that is often off to the side of the spine and can come and go.”
Setting Up an Ergonomic Workspace
While you may not want to invest in creating an ergonomic workspace because of the temporary nature of working from home, or simply the expense, Fairbanks says it is possible to tweak your back or neck in a relatively short time span.
“I have personally seen patients who have used poor posture at a workplace for a relatively short time span like, two to four months, have flare-ups of chronic conditions, sprains and strains, and even irreversible back or neck problems,” he explains.
Support Your Lower Back
So what should you prioritize when setting up your workspace? Fairbanks says first things first, get yourself a good office chair that provides lumbar support, or in other terms, supports your lower back. It is important to keep your lower back in a natural, slightly arched position when seated. The easiest way to achieve this is by using lumbar supports, typically curved cushions or devices that can either be worn by the user, attached to a chair, or wedged between you and the chair to support the arch of the lower back. Many office chairs even come with lumbar support built-in, so you don’t have to worry about buying both separately. If you don’t want to make an extra purchase, Fairbanks adds that you can also use a small throw pillow to add lumbar support to any chair. It’s a cheap and less effective substitute for an ergonomic chair, but it’s better than nothing.
Hold Your Head High
Additionally, your head and shoulders should be upright and tall, not slouching, and your working surface should be at a height in which you do not have to lean backward or forward to do your work.
You should be able to view your computer screen(s) directly in front of you, not looking down or up. Also, don’t angle your screen so that you must twist your neck, which can cause neck pain. You should also read any documents, tablets or books with a straight neck. Don’t read from an iPad or papers that are flat on your table or your head will constantly have to move up and down. If you need to go back and forth between a laptop or computer screen and separate reading material, use a vertical document holder or put your tablet on a stand.
Bring Your Mouse and Keyboard Closer to You
Make sure you can use your keyboard and mouse with your forearms and hands level and straight, and make sure your arm is close to the side of your body when you use the mouse. If you have a laptop and need to raise it up to be at a good height for you, use a separate keyboard and mouse in order to achieve this setup.
But why? The nerves in your hands leave your neck and run down through the shoulder, elbow and wrist. When your arm is at your side, the nerves aren’t being compressed, but the more you stretch it out, the greater chance you have of straining your neck or shoulder.
Opt for a Standing Desk Alternative
“A sit to stand or adjustable height desk is also worth the investment,” Fairbanks adds. “By changing your workspace from sitting at a desk to standing every other hour, you can affect your spine health for the positive.”
There are plenty of options for under $100 if you’re trying to watch your budget, and many can be transferred to your desk in the future when your company begins to bring employees back into the office.
But keep in mind that just like sitting for too long can have a negative effect on your back, standing for too long can as well. It is important to change positions once per hour. It is also important to listen to your body and when you have pain or stiffness, get up, walk, stretch, and then go back to work.
Avoid the Bed or Couch
While it may be comfortable, and something you definitely can’t do from the office, it just doesn’t provide enough adequate support for your spine throughout the day, and oftentimes you have to strain your neck to look at your laptop screen.
Make Healthy Choices Outside the Workspace
As far as other things you can do daily to affect your spine health, Fairbanks says there are a multitude of lifestyle factors that are very important.
- Smoking – Tobacco use has been shown to accelerate the degeneration of the discs, bones and joints of the spine and cessation of smoking can have enormous positive effects.
- Weight loss – Being overweight puts increased pressure on the neck and low back and hastens the degeneration of the spine. This goes hand in hand with a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D and protein.
- Exercise – Aerobic exercises like walking, swimming and cycling, as well as a program to strengthen your core muscles will help to support your spine and pre-empt or prevent flare-ups of back or neck pain.
- Proper lifting techniques – Stay as close to the object as possible. Ensure you have a solid base with the feet shoulder-width apart. Bed at the knees, not the back or neck. Tighten your core/stomach muscles. Lift with leg muscles, not back muscles. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to ask for help.
Follow these tips to make your home office more ergonomically designed. The more you can work in a neutral posture, and the more you can move around, the less the chance of any injury.

With just a few days left in the month, Boston is within spitting distance of breaking the record for the wettest July in history (or at least since records began in 1872). The National Weather Service announced Sunday that the city is experiencing the second-wettest July on record, with 9.54 inches of rain so far, handily surpassing the 1938 total of 9.46 inches.
“Today’s rain in Boston did nudge us a little bit closer to the all-time record. We still have a little ways to go to get there,” said Torry Gaucher, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. The wettest July on record here occurred in 1921 with 11.69 inches of rain.
Boston has seen rain 20 out of 25 days this month, reaching a total nearly three times the average. A typical July rainfall, according to Gaucher, is just 3.27 inches.
So will Boston break through? It would require 2.15 more inches of rain between now and Saturday. That’s something of a long shot, though the National Weather Service said there’s a chance of thunderstorms Tuesday and potentially more rain in the middle of the week.
“It doesn’t look to be a slam dunk in terms of beating the all-time record, but it looks like July 2021 isn’t going down without a fight,” Gaucher said.

(WOMENSENEWS)–“Refusenik” is a word coined by Soviet Jews, who were prohibited from emigrating, to describe a culture of resistance to government demands. From the arrested suffragists on hunger strikes in jail to those who counseled draft resisters during the Vietnam War, American women, too have a long tradition of saying “no” to the powers that be.
Prize-winning poet Adrienne Rich is a “refusenik.” In 1974, her collection titled “Diving Into the Wreck,” one of the foundational translations of a newly emerging feminist consciousness into high art, won the prestigious National Book Award. At the award ceremony, Rich, who is white, appeared with black poets Alice Walker and Audre Lorde to announce that she would not accept the honor for herself, but “only on behalf of all silenced women.” The cash prize was donated to black single mothers, like Walker and Lorde.
After 1974, Rich’s work and her belief in poetry as an instrument of change continued to grow. Her essays, including the often reprinted “Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence,” were as clear-eyed and eloquent as her poems. Continuing to publish one extraordinary volume after another, it made sense that this gadfly would come to the attention of the panel selecting recipients of the National Medal of the Arts during the 1990s. Under President Clinton, a widely diverse array of creative people–women and men, black, white and Hispanic–had been chosen.
In 1997, the 12 honorees included four women: jazz vocalist Betty Carter, sculptor Louise Bourgeois, Museum of Modern Art president Agnes Gund and poet Adrienne Rich. Rich refused the award.
Rich wrote to Jane Alexander, chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, on July 3, 1997, that she “could not accept such an award from President Clinton or this White House because the very meaning of art, as I understand it, is incompatible with the cynical politics of this administration.”
“I believe,” she continued, “in art’s social presence–as breaker of official silences, as voice for those whose voices are disregarded, and as a human birthright.” Her refusal “was not about a single individual–not myself, not President Clinton. Nor was it about a single political party. Both major parties have displayed a crude affinity for the interests of corporate power while deserting the majority of the people, especially the most vulnerable.”
Rich saw corporate power increase even more as the Iraq War escalated in the 21st century. In 2003, she publicly refused to attend a White House-sponsored symposium on “Poetry and the American Voice.” That time, however, she was not alone, for many other poets turned down the invitation and instead staged their own anti-war protests around the country, far from the seat of government.
She did, however, gratefully accept an award from writers and publishers in 2006: the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

Uruk on the map of Iraq
Uruk ( Sumerian Unug ; Biblical Erech ; Greco-Roman Orchoe, Orchoi ), today's Warka , is located about 20 km east of the Euphrates near the ancient city of Ur . In ancient times , the Mesopotamian city lay directly on the river. Uruk was formerly nicknamed the sheepfold . The city is one of the most important sites in Mesopotamia and is named for the Uruk period (approx. 3500–2800 BC).
Uruk is where the first writing was found. It was already at the end of the 4th millennium BC. BC one of the leading political centers of the Sumerian early period. Uruk experienced a second great flowering phase in the Hellenistic period in the last centuries BC. The main gods are the goddess of love and war Inanna / Ishtar and the sky god An , whose temples shaped the cityscape.
The English geologist William Kennett Loftus carried out the first investigations in Uruk-Warka in the years 1849-1850 and 1854. In 1912/13 the excavations of the German Orient Society began under Julius Jordan and Conrad Preusser. The work was resumed after the First World War in 1928 and continued until 1939. In 1954 and in the following years several systematic excavations were carried out under the direction of Heinrich Lenzen . These excavations brought various ancient Sumerian documents and a large number of legal and educational tables from the Seleucid period to light. They were published by Adam Falkenstein and other German epigraphers , some of them in the Uruk-Warka Collection in Heidelberg .
The last German excavation campaign before the Iraq war was carried out in the summer of 2002 under the direction of Margarete van Ess from the DAI . The evaluation of satellite images in 2005 refuted reports of robbery excavations in Uruk.
The city and its history
The ruin of Uruk (Warka) is the largest city ruin in southern Babylonia with an area of 550 hectares. The ancient city of Uruk was inhabited for a period of about 5000 years, from the early Obed period (5th millennium BC) to the 3rd century AD. The center of the city is from the two cult centers of the both of the city's main gods. The Kullaba district with the Anu Temple and its temple tower ( ziggurat ) is the main place of worship of the sky god An, while the Eanna district is the main shrine of the goddess Inanna / Ishtar .
Already from approx. 3500 BC. Uruk was a large urban center. Around 3400 BC The settlement hill was already 19 m high. It can arguably be called one or even the center of the emergence of Sumerian culture. This period is called the "Late Uruk Period " in archeology and extends to around 3000 BC. The center of the city was the sanctuary of Inanna, called Eanna . This reached monumental proportions as early as the fourth millennium BC. The most important part was the so-called 'limestone temple' (in the illustration of the floor plan on the top right, "Limestone Temple", abbreviated LT), which was an approx. 70 × 30 m building made of limestone blocks . However, it is not certain whether these limestones only formed the foundations of an adobe building or whether the entire height of the building was built in limestone. The facade of the temple was designed with a niche structure. Inside is a T-shaped courtyard or hall. In addition to this main temple, there were other facilities, including the so-called stone pen temple, a building whose walls are decorated with geometric mosaics. Wooden beams twelve meters long, remains of large sculptures and reliefs, animal figures, intricately designed stone vessels and cylinder seals were also found. The temple complex was rebuilt and expanded several times and received a ziggurat in the time of the third dynasty of Ur , which was built by Urnammu .
The ziggurat of the god An was also built here (called the 'White Temple'); it is the other major temple complex in Uruk.
Around 3000 BC The entire settlement mound was leveled and new buildings were erected. At the height of its development, the city reached an area of 5.5 km², the size of similarly dimensioned city facilities that were archaeologically developed in regions of the Indus culture , for example Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro . These centers were probably the largest cities in the Old World at that time . Uruk only became known around 600 BC. Exceeded in size by Babylon .
Before the conquests of the Sargon of Akkad , Uruk was the hegemonic power in Sumer.
In rain-poor Mesopotamia, water for agriculture was channeled to the fields through canals and dams. There was always the danger that the facilities would be destroyed by enemies.
Historians believe that around 3000 BC in Uruk A catastrophe occurred due to a dam breach. The scriptures suddenly end at this time. The dam was probably destroyed on purpose or as a result of fighting between Sumerians and Semites . It has been suggested that this event was reflected in the Mesopotamian flood reports.
Sumerian Period: Early Dynastic Period
Even in the early Dynastic period , Uruk was one of the most important cities in a system of competing city-states. In the Early Dynastic Period I (FD I) the city was surrounded by a large city wall that was about nine kilometers long. The city wall has so far only been examined selectively. The Gilgamesh epic reports that the wall was built by Gilgamesh, the legendary king of Uruk, himself.
Neo-Babylonian, Seleucid and Parthian times
Uruk's extensive and preserved temple archives from the Neo-Babylonian period document its social importance as a distribution center. In times of hunger, families could dedicate their children to the temple as lay brothers / sisters.
Uruk was also an important city in the Hellenistic period. The most important temples in the city have been maintained and renovated. There were also new temples , such as the Anu and Antum temples, part of the Bit Resch cult site and a temple building called Irigal . The former are extremely large and monumental systems. The ziggurat in the Eanna temple district was also renovated during this time.
From Parthian period produced some temple new buildings, such as the so-called. Gareus - Temple , whereas the investments Sumerian deities fell slowly or were not rebuilt after fires. Parts of Parthian residential areas have been excavated, some of which have unearthed houses with rich furnishings ( stucco decorations). Numerous burials were found under the residential buildings, often dug in their courtyards, some in glazed clay coffins. The city still existed in Sassanid times.
Nearby is also the Nufedschi facility , the importance of which is still puzzling research.
Kings of Uruk
According to the Sumerian king lists, Uruk was founded by Enmerkar , who brought the official title of king from the city of Eanna . His father Mesch-ki-ag-gascher "disappeared at sea". Other historical kings of Uruk are Lugalzagesi (who conquered Uruk) and Utuḫengal . The semi-mythical Gilgamesh was according to the Sumerian king lists from about 2652 BC. BC to 2602 BC Here king. He completed Uruk's independence and walled the city. Gilgamesh was also said to have commissioned the Eanna Temple. Uruk later played an important role in the battles of Babylon against the kingdom of Elam around 1200 BC. BC, which suffered serious losses.

Graduiertenkolleg "Facets of Complexity/Facetten der Komplexität" (GRK 2434)
Complexity is a central topic both in mathematics and in computer science. It appears in various forms: there is
- combinatorial complexity (number) of mathematical structures;
- description complexity (the possibility of encoding a structure succinctly or visualizing it clearly); and
- algorithmic complexity (running time, storage).
In recent years it has become apparent that the different approaches to complexity are interwoven, and significant new insights are possible by combining several viewpoints. Our interdisciplinary Research Training Group integrates several aspects or facets of complexity into a unified research and training program.
The research training group involves researchers from Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. It started on April 1, 2018, and will run for 4.5 years.

Banc y Betws facts for kids
Banc y Betws or Betws Castle, is a motte and scheduled ancient monument in Wales. It is located in Llangyndeyrn, in the Gwendraith Valley in Carmarthenshire, Wales; map grid SN458154. All that is visible of the structure nowadays is a mound capped with trees and the remains of the ditch that surrounded it.
The Normans introduced motte-and-bailey castles from France to countries such as Britain, where the technology was adopted by the Welsh people. The largest clustering of these in Britain are in the Welsh Marches: namely Shropshire, Cheshire, Herefordshire, Powys and Flintshire. The greatest numbers of these castle were built in Wales between the 11th century and the second half the 12th century, built out of soil and stone, usually surrounded by a ditch and topped with a wooden or stone structure known as a keep. The history of this particular castle is not known.
Betws Castle is a mound approximately 40 metres by 35 metres, and roughly 9 metres high. The top of the mound is concave, with the centre about 1 metre (3 ft) lower than the rim. A dry ditch, approximately 5 metres wide and two metres deep, surrounds the site except on the north side, where it has been filled in. The eastern face of the mound was damaged by quarrying in the mid-twentieth century. The Historic Environment Record for the castles indicates that the site has not been archaeologically excavated and does not mention any recorded history.
The castle is registered with Cadw, number CM124. Some of the ditch to the north has been incorporated into the adjoining field and the motte itself is clad in large trees.

COVID-19 has demonstrated that changes must be made in order to support and secure the future of travel. Along with elevated safety protocols, a genuine commitment to sustainability provides a roadmap to a more responsible travel industry.
While every major industry in the world has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism — which represents 10 percent of world GDP — has been one of the hardest-hit economic sectors.
Even as national borders slowly reopen, the uncertainty associated with travel continues. According to the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) report on Related Travel Restrictions released in May, international tourism arrivals are expected to decline 58-78 percent compared to 2019.
As businesses focus on how to not only survive but recover from the impact of the pandemic, many are turning to more purposeful, people-centric solutions. Driven by growing consumer demand for better business practices, the crisis has forced organisations to examine their social and environmental impacts. It has also brought to the fore how central the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are in supporting the responsible recovery of the tourism sector.
In June, the UNWTO released its One Planet Vision for the Responsible Recovery of the Tourism Sector — a strategic guide aimed at helping travel businesses emerge stronger from the crisis while still contributing to the SDGs.
The One Planet Vision is structured around six lines of action to guide responsible tourism recovery for people, planet and prosperity: public health, social inclusion, biodiversity conservation, climate action, circular economy, and governance and finance.
In the report, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili says: “Sustainability must no longer be a niche part of tourism but must be the new norm for every part of our sector. This is one of the central elements of our Global Guidelines to Restart Tourism. It is in our hands to transform tourism and that emerging from COVID-19 becomes a turning point for sustainability.”
Smart travel businesses looking to use this pause for a thoughtful shift towards sustainable consumption and production patterns could learn a thing or two from the renowned purposeful paradise, Bawah Reserve.
This is an excerpt from an article by Lindsay Grace Kinniburgh, originally published on Sustainable Brands.

In this brief guide, we will answer the query, “What happens if you eat bad turkey?”. We will also talk about how to know when the ground turkey has gone bad and how to store ground turkey to extend its lifespan.
What happens if you eat bad ground turkey?
Eating ground turkey that has gone rancid will definitely cause food poisoning as it can be contaminated with pathogens and bacteria such as salmonella, E.coli, and clostridium. Eating bad ground turkey or any other meat is not considered healthy eating practice.
The person can start to feel the effect of food poisoning in 30 minutes to an hour or even a few days or weeks depending on the type of virus or pathogen that has contaminated the meat.
The symptoms of food poisoning after eating bad ground turkey are mentioned below.
- Abdominal cramps
- Gastric discomfort
It is always safe to throw away the ground turkey if it seems to have gone rancid to avoid any gastro-related illnesses.
How to know when the ground turkey has gone bad?
The ground turkey will go bad in a few days when kept in the fridge or in a few hours if left at room temperature. Ground turkey should be kept at the temperature of 40 F or below to avoid any contamination from the bacteria r pathogens as they cannot survive or multiply at those temperatures.
The temperatures between 40F and 140F are the breeding ground for the bacteria and if the ground turkey is kept at room temperature for more than an hour then the ground meat will be contaminated and should not be consumed.
There are easy ways to know when the ground turkey has gone rancid.
A smell test is the best way of knowing if the meat has gone rancid as it will smell like sulfur, ammonia, or rotten egg smell. The fresh ground turkey has a slight meaty smell.
The ground turkey when fresh has a pinkish hue with shiny colour. When the meat has gone bad, it will start to change colour to gray or brown with greenish or grayish spots. If the meat has gone rancid for a couple of days, then it can start to mold too.
Touch and texture
The fresh ground turkey feels and looks moist, soft, and crumbly which is not the case when it has gone rancid. The rancid ground turkey will look and feel slimy and sticky in texture and feel.
How to store ground turkey to extend its lifespan?
The ground turkey should never be stored at room temperature unless you are planning to cook it straight away within an hour of keeping it at room temperature. Meat left at room temperature for longer than an hour will be contaminated by bacteria such as salmonella which can cause gastro-related illnesses.
To extend the shelf life of ground turkey, it can be stored in the fridge or the freezer.
Fridge temperature should be set at 40 F or below according to USFDA. At these temperatures, the bacteria cannot multiply or are ineffective. The ground turkey stored in the fridge can last for 3-4 days whilst it is stored in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap to avoid contact with air.
It is necessary to check if the ground turkey has gone bad by doing the smell, colour, and texture test before preparing and cooking to avoid any food poisoning.
The freezer is the best place to store the ground turkey if you are planning to cook in a couple of weeks or months’ time as the freezer can hold the ground turkey for at least 4-6 months without losing a significant amount of texture and flavor of the meat.
While storing the ground turkey in the freezer, one should be mindful to wrap the meat with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to avoid freezer burn. Using freezer bags and ziplock bags is also an excellent choice as they can also avoid freezer burns.
How to thaw the frozen ground turkey and how long does it last?
The frozen ground turkey should be thawed properly to maintain its flavor and texture as well as not let it get contaminated. It is important to thaw the ground turkey in the fridge for a day or until it is defrosted completely before cooking.
Defrosting at room temperature can cause the outer layers of the ground turkey to start contamination as the outer layers would defrost first. It should not be kept at room temperature for more than an hour.
After thawing in the fridge, the ground turkey can last for 1-2 days. It is necessary to check before cooking if it has gone rancid.
In this brief guide, we answered the query, “What happens if you eat bad ground turkey?”. We also talked about how to know when the ground turkey has gone bad and how to store ground turkey to extend its lifespan.
I hope you find this blog useful. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Gonorrhea is a very usual sexually transmitted infection, particularly for teens as well as individuals in their 20s. Gonorrhea is in some cases called “the clap” or “the drip.” Gonorrhea is spread through genital, anal, and also foreplay.
The infection is lugged in sperm (cum), pre-cum, and vaginal fluids. Gonorrhea can infect your penis, vagina, cervix, anus, urethra, throat, and eyes (however that’s rare). Most people with gonorrhea do not have any kind of symptoms as well as feel totally great, so they could not even understand they’re infected.

Individuals without symptoms go to danger for developing difficulties to gonorrhea. These individuals likewise spread this infection unknowingly.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Gonorrhea?
Several guys with gonorrhea are asymptomatic. When existing, symptoms and signs of urethral infection in men consist of dysuria or a white, yellow, or green urethral discharge that typically appears one to fourteen days after infection.
In cases where urethral infection is made complex by epididymitis, men with gonorrhea might also suffer testicular or scrotal discomfort.
The majority of women with gonorrhea are asymptomatic. Also when a lady has signs, they are commonly so mild and also nonspecific that they are mistaken for a bladder or genital infection. The preliminary signs and symptoms and also check in females include dysuria, enhanced vaginal discharge, or genital blood loss between periods. Gonorrhea Bacteria Or Virus
Females with gonorrhea go to threat of developing major issues from the infection, regardless of the visibility or extent of signs and symptoms.

Reduced reserves of high-quality bentonite and unequal distribution of resources push bentonite producers to add polymers to guarantee viscosity and yield without damaging filtrate. With our global manufacturing locations, we provide polymers everywhere to help bentonite to meet drilling mud specifications (viscosity, yield, and filtrate).
Bentonite is an abundant and versatile mineral found in many regions of the world and used in various industrial applications such as foundry sand, iron ore pelletization, and drilling muds in Oil & Gas, and Civil Engineering. Bentonite quality depends on the area of extraction and its grade of activation.
When used as bentonite enhancers, linear-chain anionic polymers increase mud viscosity by linking clay platelets together. They improve bentonite yield and help comply with API and OCMA specifications.
SNF’s FLOBENT™ products are premium acrylic, medium to low molecular weight polymers that are easy to disperse and can be easily mixed with bentonite. They are commonly added during bentonite production, either before or after milling.
Using FLOBENT™ products will guarantee bentonite mud performance and consistency over time.

I’ve been trained first as an internist then a medical oncologist, eventually a geriatrician and quite recently as a palliative care specialist. I suppose this is the reason why they asked me to speak about differences, if any, between supportive care and geriatric oncology care. Quite a funny task, actually, to be done, a challenge in a way. I try not to end up in dividing things and rather trying to make them together.
Looking at the literature it’s interesting to find out that when the word supportive care is used it is mainly used in a way to promote an approach against the toxicity, the side effects, of the treatments given by the physicians, be it chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune therapy. There is another word coming quite close to supportive care that is precisely palliative care. One can even have sometimes the idea that they’re exactly similar – supportive care or palliative care, palliative care or supportive care. The definition of the NCI, ASCO, ESMO look alike, there is some kind of common objective, that is to improve the quality of life of the patient. So in this respect supportive care has a very large field of activity, it’s not only linked to cancer chemotherapy or radiotherapy but could address any type of treatment in our life path just until the end.
On the other side, geriatric oncology is more directed to a specific part of the part of the population, that is the so-called elderly, which are for most of them supposed to be vulnerable or even fragile and who obviously deserve a different attitude. So there is then some kind of difference because supportive care is for everyone through his lifetime whereas geriatric care, obviously, is limited to the elderly people.
Not only that, the other difference I found was to point out the fact that geriatric oncology has to do with diseases, disorders, specific – lung, brain, breast, digestive tract, urinary tract etc. – so it is definitely a medical specialty by itself and it is recognised as such in the US, for instance, but also in other countries of the world, in France for instance. Whereas supportive care is not a medical specialty, it’s a duty to support someone going through the adventure of a disease or a disorder.
So there are common aspects but at the end of my, let’s call that, research which was more done in the literature, what is truly specific for geriatric oncology care is a very small part that is the few cases in which the energy is to be put on curing a disease in an elderly person. Whereas most of the geriatric activity, because people are already old, is to make their life better or as good as it is possible to do, putting the emphasis on quality of life. That’s why I think the challenge I was given is quite hard to be met. There are small differences but at the end, let’s put it that way, we are all in palliative care, are we not? Even if life is not a disease.

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” was first published by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886. Stevenson was a well educated Scottish author who lived all over the world. He has written famous books like “Treasure Island”, and maybe his best book “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde”. Since then it has been a best-selling horror story. For a century the book has entertained and scared readers of all ages all over the world.
The book starts with Mr. Utterson, a well liked lawyer and his cousin Mr. Enfield walking down the streets of London. Enfield is telling a rather strange story about a certain Mr. Hyde. He lives in Soho and once he beat up a little girl after she had ran into him on a street corner. It had been a terrible scene, but Enfield had forced him to pay a compensation to the little girls family. The curious thing was that the check was signed by Dr. Henry Jekyll, a highly respected doctor and good friend of Mr. Utterson.
Later that night Utterson was in low spirits. He had received an envelope containing Dr. Jekyll’s will, telling that in the case of his death he would leave all his possessions to Mr. Hyde. Hyde was looked upon as an evil man, who had not only been involved in other violent episodes but had also been enjoying pleasures like prostitutes. There were also stories that he was terribly ugly.
A fortnight later Utterson attended one of Henry Jekyll’s pleasant dinners. Utterson told Jekyll that he didn’t care much for Hyde and wondered why he had left by will all his belongings to him. Jekyll answered that he had great interest in Hyde and he would be glad if he cared more for him. This answer left Utterson with even more questions.
Almost a year later London was startled by a horrible murder. A servant admiring the moon had witnessed the crime and recognised Mr. Hyde as he unprovoked beat an old man to death. All evidence pointed at Hyde and he was now chased by the police.
Later Utterson visited Jekyll who was a good friend of the murder victim. Jekyll was very sick and depressed. He told Utterson that Hyde probably wouldn’t be seen or heard from anymore. Jekyll also presented him with a letter apparently from Hyde saying that he had escaped. But Utterson couldn’t help noticing that the handwriting in the letter was very similar to Jekyll’s. He found this very odd.
Suddenly one day Jekyll wouldn’t accept Utterson’s visits and after being rejected three times he instead paid Dr. Lanyon (an “enemy” of Jekyll regarding scientific questions) a visit. Lanyon also seemed very sick and something seemed to bother him. He told Utterson, to his surprise, that he was done with Dr. Jekyll and never wanted to see him again.
Three weeks later Lanyon was dead. At his funeral he received an envelope from Lanyon with the words: “Do not open until the death of Dr. Jekyll”. Utterson was shocked.
Some weeks later Utterson received a visit from Poole, Henry Jekyll’s servant. Poole told Utterson that he was very worried about Jekyll. He had been acting very strange not allowing anyone to see him and looking himself up in his cabinet. His voice had also changed and was totally different from the one Poole knew. Late at night he could also hear him weeping and crying. Something was clearly wrong with Henry Jekyll.
Utterson saw no other options but to visit Jekyll and demand to see him. Jekyll refused to see him and begged Utterson to leave him alone. Together Poole and Utterson broke the door open to find the Mr. Hyde on the floor dead by poisoning. As for Jekyll he wasn’t to be found. He had simply disappeared. On the table Poole found a letter addressed to Mr. Utterson. Utterson decided to take this letter and the letter from Dr. Lanyon and read them.
Lynn’s letter explained why he had broken with Henry Jekyll. It said that few weeks before his illness received a request for a favour from Dr. Jekyll. He was to bring a drawer of chemicals to a certain house and a man would come to fetch them. He had done precisely as Jekyll had told him, and right before midnight Mr. Hyde had come to collect the chemicals. The next incident was unbelievable. Hyde mixed some of the chemicals and as he drank the mixture he transformed into Henry Jekyll.
As Lynn’s letter said no more Utterson started to read the next letter: “The confession of Henry Jekyll”.
Dear Mr. Utterson
Since I was born I have always set high demands to myself. As I was clever in school I had the opinion that I was superior to everybody else and if I showed myself enjoying indecent pleasures people would think I was no different from everybody else. Already as young I lived a double life. On one hand I was the perfect professor Jekyll, but on the other I was enjoying pleasures like ordinary people. I looked upon these pleasures as a shame and tried to hide it from the public.

Safe and effective air purification proven by over 15 years on the market and the most extensive safety and efficacy data in the industry.
Pyure efficacy was evaluated on five biosecurity level one (BSL-1) microorganisms that are considered representative of a broader range of more pathogenic organisms:
Select pathogen to view study results
Comparative Biosciences, Inc. in compliance with the US Food & Drug Administration GLP regulations (21 CFR Part 58), conducted a 13-week toxicology study on the effects of elevated Pyure output levels on a statistically significant population of rats. Rat exposure levels were 2 to 3 times higher than the maximum levels recommended by Pyure. The results showed no adverse effects on treated animals vs. control animals after continuous exposure for 13 weeks, neither at the gross or cellular level.
This toxicology study, along with the mechanism of action and pathogen destruction studies, were submitted to the FDA as part of the 510k registration and listing for the Odorox® MDU/Rx™ unit. As part of the FDA submission, a review of NIH, CDC and other relevant government databases was conducted. The review did not reveal any data or evidence that natural natural or artificial hydroxyls are in any way toxic to humans, animals or plants.
The study examined the chemistry that resulted from hydroxyl decomposition of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The study revealed that operating a Pyure device significantly reduced total VOC levels, resulting in better indoor air quality. The VOC were rapidly decomposed and the steady state amounts of intermediate organic compounds, including formaldehyde, other aldehydes, ketones and alcohols did not accumulate while the Pyure device was running. The study detected very low levels of ozone (less than 15 parts per billion), far below the 50 part-per-billion maximum established by the FDA for continuous exposure. The study confirmed that Pyure Technology improves indoor air quality.

In the mythology of Arsenal, it is often stated that Herbert Chapman “invented” the notion of numbered shirts, in the same way that he got the name of Gillespie Road underground station changed to “Arsenal”, promoted floodlighting, and changed the club’s name from The Arsenal, to Arsenal.
In fact, most of these tales are wrong. “The Arsenal” became “Arsenal” in 1919, long before Mr Chapman came to power. However Gillespie Road station became “Arsenal Highbury Hill” on 5 November 1932, so Mr Chapman could have been involved in that one.
As for the floodlighting issue it is said in some places that he proposed it for the first time – but this is certainly not so. As early as 1910 there were experiments going on with gas-powered lighting at football matches with in lines of lights suspended from ropes strung over the pitch. What Mr Chapman may well have done is been a strong advocate for floodlighting but the first floodlit match at Highbury was not until 19 September 1951, long after Mr Chapman passed away.
But what about numbered shirts – for they were indeed tried during Mr Chapman’s time at Arsenal. Well…
Certainly, before the first match of the 1928/9 season, no league team in England had turned out in numbered shirts. But…
On the same day as Arsenal put on their numbered shirts so Chelsea played Swansea Town and they had their shirts numbered. The difference between the two games was that at Chelsea the goalkeeper did not wear a number – a tradition that continued in English football once the numbering of players became common.
So if Mr Chapman was the keen advocate of numbering as the stories say, he rather cleverly managed to persuade Chelsea to undertake the same experiment on the same day. Which is certainly possible, given that the FA have vetoed most other innovations in the year’s leading up to this point.
The Monday newspapers on 27 August picked up on the story and deemed the idea a success, and it is reported in some sources that for both these matches one team would wear numbers 1 to 11, and the other 12 to 22, but I can’t find any pictures to confirm this, and verification is sketchy.
But of course, the Football Association, still living in the 15th century, didn’t like the idea and ordered the experiment to be abandoned. I don’t know what justification they gave for this, and it would be good to find the relevant paperwork.
The next appearance of numbered shirts on an Arsenal team was on December 4, 1933 in a friendly against F.C Vienna, which Arsenal won 4-2.
In the 1934 AGM of the Football League Management Committee, numbering was however once again rejected but finally on July 5 1939 the Management Committee decided that players should wear numbered shirts, with both sides wearing 1 to 11 in the format described for the first games in 1928.
Arsenal’s first game at Highbury under this system was on August 30, 1939 – a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers. This was the second match of the 1939/40 season (the first game had been away to Wolverhampton W). I am unclear if Arsenal also wore numbered shirts on the third match against Sunderland on September 2.
However, there were no more league matches that season as war was declared and the League programme was abandoned. But the decision had been taken, and when League football returned on August 31 1946 numbered shirts were available for all teams, both in England and Scotland.
But there was a curiosity. Although some teams still played the same tactical formation as existed during the 1928 experiment the standard numbering of shirts followed the classic 2-3-5 formation, with numbers 2 and 3 assigned to the full backs, 4, 5, 6 to the half backs, and 7 to 11 the forwards. But by the 1940s, many more clubs had adopted the notion of the centre half (number 5) playing between the two fullbacks.
However, no one seemed to mind.

5 Ways to Have a Green Commercial Renovation
Being environmentally friendly is more than a trend these days; it’s a way of life. Beyond your own home, here are some ways to have a green commercial renovation.
Considering a renovation or need a commercial space built? Here are 5 ways to go green with it.
1. Use materials from sustainable sources
A sustainable source is something that is not in danger of being depleted. A perfect example of this in building and renovation is bamboo. Strong, light-weight, and highly sustainable, it’s used in everything from the structure of a building to the flooring. Hemp is another sustainable and very durable material that works well in construction.
2. Use recycled materials
Modern technology allows so much in the way of recycling. For example, recycling wood chips by turning them into wood floor options is one alternative. Another way is using carpet made from recycled soda bottles and other materials. Recycled newspaper is an option for insulation. Even re-purposing items, like old cabinets or wood pallets and using them as flooring or counter tops is an excellent idea and is very visually appealing.
3. Use zero VOC paint
What are VOCs? VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. What this means is that the carbon-compounds in the paint evaporate into the air when at room temperature. Using paint and finishes that contain VOCs does pose health risks, including irritation to eyes, nose, and throat to more severe issues involving the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Considering the amount of time people will spend in these renovated spaces, using a zero VOC paint is the best option.
4. Use LED lighting
A great way to save energy and cut costs in the long run is to use LED lighting. In comparison to fluorescent lighting, LEDs are roughly 15 percent more efficient. They also produce the least amount of heat when compared to fluorescent and incandescent lights, which will save on energy costs associated with temperature control.
5. Use renewable energy
Based on what makes sense for your location, consider using a renewable energy source. Everything from the structure of the building to window placement allows more natural lighting and heat retention. Using solar power for electricity and to heat water is also an option. Wind turbines, in the right setting, are also available for use as a renewable source of energy.
There are several ways to go green when planning a commercial renovation or when planning to build from the ground up. These are just a few ideas. For more information and ideas on how to go green, please contact us.

September 9, 2019 -- Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the Universidad de Zaragoza in Spain present a novel therapeutic approach to treating cancer on September 9. The research using exosome-directed catalyst prodrug therapies was published in Nature Catalysis.
Palladium (Pd) has long been used in catalytic converters to detoxify exhausts in many vehicles. Now, bioorthogonal scientists are investigating how to selectively deliver Pd catalysts to cancer cells and deliver targeted drugs. Professor Asier Unciti-Broceta, from the University of Edinburgh's Cancer Research UK Edinburgh Centre, said: "We have tricked exosomes naturally released by cancer cells into taking up a metal that will activate chemotherapy drugs just inside the cancer cells, which could leave healthy cells untouched."
The new study exploits Pd’s ability to produce xenobiotics and uncaging biomolecules in living systems, mimicking how some viruses cross cell membranes to spread infection. Researchers built a bioartificial device comprising cancer-derived exosomes that are loaded with Pd catalysts by a method that enables the controlled assembly of Pd nanosheets directly inside the vesicles. The hybrid system mediates Pd-triggered dealkylation reactions in vitro and inside cells, and displays preferential tropism for their progenitor cells.
The bioartificial system was tested in lung cancer cells and cells associated with glioma (tumors in the brain and spinal cord). Exosomes were derived from these cancer cells and subsequently loaded with Pd catalysts. The artificial exosomes acted as Trojan horses, working in tandem with existing cancer drugs – in this case, Panobinostat – which were delivered straight to primary tumors and metastatic cells.
Having proved the concept in laboratory tests, the researchers have now been granted a patent that gives them exclusive rights to trial palladium-based therapies in medicine. The study was funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the European Research Council.
Professor Jesús Santamaría, of the Universidad de Zaragoza, said: "This has the potential to be a very exciting technology. It could allow us to target the main tumor and metastatic cells, thus reducing the side effects of chemotherapy without compromising the treatment."

Pagina 383 - E'en while with us thy footsteps trod, His seal was on thy brow. Dust to its narrow house beneath ! Soul to its place on high ! They that have seen thy look in death, No more may fear to die.
Pagina 478 - I have now learned (said he), by hunting, to perceive, that it is no diversion at all, nor ever takes a man out of himself for a moment : the dogs have less sagacity than I could have prevailed on myself to suppose; and the gentlemen often call to me not to ride over them. It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them.
Pagina 487 - Even is come ; and from the dark Park, hark, The signal of the setting sun — one gun ! And six is sounding from the chime, prime time To go and see the Drury-Lane Dane slain, — Or hear Othello's jealous doubt spout out, — Or Macbeth raving at that shade-made blade, Denying to his frantic clutch much touch...
Pagina 38 - Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay : Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade ; A breath can make them as a breath has made ; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroyed, can never be supplied.
Pagina 149 - Resistless burns the fever of renown, Caught from the strong contagion of the gown : O'er Bodley's dome his future labours spread, ... And Bacon's mansion trembles o'er his head.
Pagina 228 - WHEN the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it; When the meadows laugh with lively green, And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene; When Mary and Susan and Emily With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha ha he!
