As part of our ongoing commitment to people, the planet, and of course of cloth nappy community, we have partnered with some amazing organisations to share the love.
We are continually looking for charities, groups, or organisations to help out - especially those focussed around infants and children. These might be services like the following, but they may also be organisations working to preserve culture or language.
If you know of anyone looking for additional support, please reach out at email@example.com
This group has been created to help families in Aotearoa give cloth nappies a try through providing them with a pack of nappies to get them started. The group is run by volunteers and supported by wonderful members of the community donating their used cloth nappies to be passed on to others. They aim to get more littles into reusable nappies.
Kekoa regularly gifts nappies up and down New Zealand to the amazing volunteers. They curate packs for parents wanting to start their cloth nappy journey and encourage everyone to gift these back when they no longer need them. Nappies are sanitised between families.
According to the Ministry of Health's most recent figures on maternity deprivation, out of 58 503 women who gave birth in 2018, 16 705 mothers lived in the most deprived quantile.
We think this number is unacceptably high and it's up to us as a community to do something about it. Mum's wellbeing is just as important as baby's. This is why we have made it our priority to customise our donations according to mothers' needs during pregnancy and postpartum.
We work with hospitals, women's refuge centres, emergency housing organisations, social workers, budgeting services, foodbanks and other professionals, to ensure that our donations are utilised where they are most needed. We are based in Auckland but we distribute nationwide.
Kekoa gifted reusable nursing pads for their expectant mother packs so no breast/chest feeding parent would be caught out.
We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua and are committed to recognising Te tiriti o Waitangi and the tiriti principles of; participation, protection and partnership. With this foundation, we embrace our multicultural community through parent involvement, kaiako knowledge and the essence of the child. For a child to truly thrive, they must know where they have come from in order to know where they are going, and we are committed to being a part of this journey.
We partnered with Nga Taonga Aroha ECE donating nappies for use within their centre. This helped lift the burden for many families who now only needed to provide a coming home nappy for the end of the day when collecting their pepe.

What is a provident fund?
April 11th, 2022
If you own a condominium, you may be familiar with the concept of a provident fund. Indeed, this type of fund is dedicated to expenses relating to major repairs and replacements of the common parts of a building, as opposed to their simple maintenance, for example. This type of fund should not be used to pay for current expenses. The following article will try to answer your questions about provident funds.
How to constitute an adequate contingency fund?
To build up a contingency fund that will meet realistic future needs for major repairs. The board of directors of the condominium must estimate the cost of major repairs and the replacement of common areas. Indeed, the syndicate of co-ownership has certain obligations such as obtaining a study of the contingency fund which will establish the sums necessary to hold to have enough money to pay for major repairs or the replacement of the common parts. The annual contribution of the co-owners will be based on this study. These forecasts will eventually be confirmed or invalidated at the time of the plans, specifications and calls for tenders for the works. It should be noted that the syndicate must always make this study available to its co-owners.
What is considered in establishing a provident fund?
When a provident fund study is made, several elements must be taken into account. Once again, we are only talking about major repair work and the replacement of common portions only over a 25 to 30-year horizon. If it is rather a question of corrective work that must be done immediately, it will rather be detailed in an additional study that will complete the main study.
A two-step process
The basis of a provident fund study consists of two distinct steps. The first consists of carrying out a more or less exhaustive inventory of the components of the building, including the theoretical lifespan of each of the elements. The second step is to make an economic projection which is based on the replacement values of the different components. This projection will provide an idea of the sufficient sums to be accumulated to ensure the sustainability of the building. The useful life is estimated based on the building condition certificate and its maintenance log. Certain factors can influence the lifespan such as the quality of the components, the climatic conditions, the level of maintenance, etc. The study often takes the form of a forecast table with a schedule of the work that will have to be carried out.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact specialists in this type of study who can provide you with more detailed information on the stages of the analysis and what you can expect in terms of the content of the study. The building inspection specialists who offer this type of service will always be happy to answer all your questions so that you can rest easy knowing that you will have the money needed to deal with major work on your condominium.

When trade tensions with China flared last year, many companies sought refuge in a country with a long, stable relationship with the United States: Mexico.
Now, that alternative for production and materials may also be in jeopardy with President Trump’s threat to impose escalating tariffs on imports from Mexico, aimed at forcing action on illegal immigration.
In the short term, the tariffs would mean lower profits for American importers and higher prices for American consumers on everything from avocados to Volkswagens. In the long run, they could force companies to reconsider the continent-spanning supply chains that have made North America one of the world’s most interconnected economies. That disruption, experts warn, could be far more damaging to the United States economy than the cost of tariffs themselves.
The United States imported more than $345 billion in goods from Mexico last year, and shipped $265 billion the other way. But if anything, those numbers understate the interdependence. American refiners process crude oil from Mexico, then sell it back as gasoline. Automakers ship parts back and forth repeatedly during manufacturing. About 30 percent of the content of Mexican exports originated in the United States, according to a recent study.
“Our ties to Mexico are in many ways much more immediate than China and in some ways much more powerful,” said Pete Guarraia, who leads supply chain consulting for Bain. “I don’t think there’s much you could do to mitigate the effects because the changes required would be so substantial.”
Mr. Trump has frequently criticized Mexico and the American companies that relocate production there. But his trade policies have largely focused on China, a target of successive rounds of tariffs on billions of dollars in imports.
American companies have responded by moving production and supply chains out of China, in some cases to Mexico, which so far this year has displaced China as the United States’ top trading partner. The attraction of doing so only increased when the United States, Mexico and Canada reached a deal last fall to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Now, those plans have been thrown into turmoil.
“Mexico was the place that people were looking to move to,” said Joseph Fitzgerald, a partner in Deloitte’s supply-chain practice. “Now it’s, ‘Gosh, we just got through one wave of supply chain strategy and structural change and now we need to start a new round.’”
Mr. Trump said in a Twitter post on Thursday evening that he would impose a 5 percent tariff on Mexican imports on June 10, and ratchet it up to 25 percent by October if the immigration issues were not resolved. If the tariffs materialize, consumers could feel them almost immediately, most likely starting with the price of fresh fruits and vegetables — a competitive market with slim margins where distributors would have little choice but to pass on costs.
“As a consumer, that was my first thought,” said Emily Blanchard, an economist at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. “Those are my avocados and strawberries. What are you doing?”
For other products, the reverberations could be more gradual. Companies may initially absorb some of the costs to avoid losing business, particularly on higher-margin items, or ones where they face competition from domestic producers. But economic research shows that consumers eventually bear the brunt of tariffs. The impact could be greater in the case of trade with Mexico because so many imports from there contain parts or materials from American factories.
“We’re taxing ourselves on our own goods,” said Katheryn Russ, an economist at the University of California, Davis.
Economists said the direct effects of a tariff of 5 percent or even 10 percent would probably be small, especially with a strong economy and low inflation. The larger threat, they said, was the disruption they could cause for automakers and others who have come to rely on supply chains that seamlessly cross international boundaries. Those supply chains will not fray overnight, said Brian Dunch, a trade expert at PricewaterhouseCoopers. But over time, they could break down, particularly if companies decide they cannot trust trade rules to be consistent from one year to the next.
“It’s the cumulative effect of all this uncertainty,” Mr. Dunch said. “You’ll see supply chains Balkanize.”
No industry better symbolizes the integrated North American economy than the automakers. And no industry stands to lose more if that integration breaks down.
General Motors has three Mexican plants that make some of its most important models, including the highly profitable Silverado and Sierra pickup trucks and the new Chevrolet Blazer sport-utility vehicle. G.M. and Fiat Chrysler rely on Mexico for about a quarter of their North American production, and Ford for 10 percent. Some foreign automakers are even more reliant on Mexico. Volkswagen, for example, makes Golfs and Jettas there for the United States market, and almost half of the cars Nissan makes in North America are built in Mexico.
Tariffs could also disrupt production in some auto plants north of the border because manufacturers operate complex cross-border supply chains. Many parts and components used in Mexican plants come from the United States, and vice versa.
“It’s safe to say that in terms of auto manufacturing, the U.S. and Mexico are not trading with each other so much as they are building the same products together,” said Kristin Dziczek, vice president of industry, labor and economics at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Tariffs, “would significantly raise the cost of building cars in the U.S. and burden supply chains that have been built up over decades,” she said. “The industry doesn’t have piles of cash laying around to build up new production capacity in the United States.” NEAL E. BOUDETTE
Pain at the pump
Tariffs could also mean higher prices at the pump.
Imports of Mexican oil have been in decline in recent years, but the United States still purchases more than 700,000 barrels of crude a day from Mexico, 8 percent of total imports. A 5 percent tariff would add $3 a barrel — a cost that experts said were likely to be passed on to consumers in prices for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel.
“It’s the American driver who is going to suffer the consequences,” said Bruce S. Appelbaum, chairman of Mosaic Resources, a Houston consulting firm serving oil and gas investors.
Tariffs would pose a particular challenge for American refineries on the Gulf Coast that have been tooled to process heavy crude from Mexico, Venezuela and Canada. Adding to the challenge: Venezuelan oil imports have been shut off by Trump administration sanctions.
Mexico buys more than a million barrels of American petroleum products a day, providing as much as $20 billion in revenue to American-based energy companies annually. Those sales could be threatened if Mexico retaliates with its own tariffs, although doing so would be costly: Mexico benefits from the low cost of American energy products.
The natural gas trade will also be affected. About 20 pipelines send up to 5 billion cubic feet of American gas a day to Mexico, with more flowing in liquefied form by tanker. A shortfall in gas sales to Mexico would depress gas prices, but it could also mean a slowdown in pipeline construction and the loss of construction jobs.
“This is a symbiotic relationship he is throwing a monkey wrench at,” Steven Pruett, chief executive of Elevation Resources, a West Texas oil company, said of Mr. Trump. “It’s very disruptive to business and planning.” CLIFFORD KRAUSS
Higher grocery bills
The United States imported nearly $28 billion in food and drink from Mexico last year, including more than two-fifths of its total imports of fruits and vegetables. Tariffs on those goods are likely to show up in higher prices in produce sections and grocery shelves within weeks.
American farmers, meanwhile, face the risk of retaliatory tariffs from Mexico — again. It was just two weeks ago that Mexico and Canada agreed to lift tariffs on American agricultural products that they had imposed in response to the administration’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Now American farmers are facing the prospect of a renewed trade war.
“It’s very disappointing because we just got the tariffs removed,” said Michael Nepveux, an economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation, “so it’s very concerning to see things heading in the direction that they’re heading.”
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico has so far demurred on pushing the confrontation further. But the possibility of retaliation remains, and any Mexican tariffs could be damaging.
Agricultural and food exports to Mexico totaled $19 billion in 2018, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Of the top five exports — which include corn, soybeans, beef and dairy products — pork and pork products were most affected by the previous round of Mexico’s retaliatory efforts. During the first quarter of this year, for example, pork exports across the southern border dropped by $109 million, compared with the same three-month period in 2018.
“This is hitting agriculture once again at a very vulnerable time,” said Todd Hultman, a lead analyst at DTN, an agriculture news and data service. China, for example, the largest buyer of American soybeans, has virtually halted purchases amid heightening tensions. PATRICIA COHEN
Medical devices at risk
Mr. Trump’s tariff announcement sent a jolt through medical device makers, which in recent years have built facilities in places like Tijuana that produce items like pacemakers, artificial respirators and intravenous bags. Last year, the United States imported medical equipment from Mexico worth nearly $8 billion, according to government trade statistics.
Blair Childs, a senior vice president for public affairs at Premier, a company that buys supplies for hospitals and other health care providers, said many medical items were kept off the list of products that were subject to the first set of tariffs on imports from China. But now the list of Chinese products is expanding, meaning medical products from both China and Mexico could be hit with new levies.
“We’ve been scrambling to try and figure out what might this mean,” Mr. Childs said. “We’re completely focused on trying to avoid price increases.” PETER EAVIS

It goes without saying that at the heart of innovation, everything begins with an idea. For all business ventures brands decide to embark on, the initial idea must evolve through various stages of conceptualization and innovation before the final product is launched onto the market. While the entire lifecycle of a product being bought and sold digitally via online channels has been commonly accepted as “ecommerce,” it is important to break down the process into smaller segments.
This division of process allows business visionaries to not only break down the company’s goals, but to track the progress of their goals and reinforce their commitment to them. Pre-commerce constitutes the first stage in the lifecycle, and it encompasses all the stages of development from ideation to product. Think sourcing, product design, development and manufacturing. It is where your idea begins coming to life and where your vision starts transforming into a reality.
Evolving design strategy as markets evolve
The first step in product development is a combination of market research and product ideation. In today’s ever-evolving business environment, it is challenging to ideate a product that doesn’t already exist. With thousands of products being pumped into the market annually, consumers are more enticed and drawn toward products that are fresh and operationally different from the rest. While it may be creatively fulfilling to build a never-before-seen product, it may also be effective to build upon already existing products and amplify their value.
Recent B2B and consumer market research conducted by the Royalty Research Center, a consulting and research firm, has shown that as browser cookies begin to phase out, marketers are beginning to increasingly prioritize market research to reach their target audiences in alternative ways and determine contextual segments. For example, in order to understand the nature of the new marketing ecosystem, businesses are turning to AI-driven solutions, primary, and first-party data collection to conceptualize how the market will see their product. Regardless, product creation by nature requires extensive research on the current product market, initial investigation of industry and market trends at hand, coupled with a great deal of patience and resilience.
Pre-commerce largely depends on product design which is the ability to identify a market opportunity, grabbing it strategically to plan a focused end-to-end product development process. When it comes to creating a great product that scales, particularly in the B2B business model, it is important to place product design at the forefront of innovation while simultaneously placing user needs at the forefront of design.
What this means is that the product design, whether it be system, process, or interface design, must have the ability to follow both product evolution and business growth, while constantly adapting to user behaviors. In a sense, it is helpful to view a product as a living being that must sustain a competitive edge in the face of threats and undergo evolution as circumstances change. Similarly, product design aims to align long-term business goals with user experience to optimize production and improve market position relative to competitors.
The emergence of intelligent digitized supply chains
Moving past traditional standards of production and setting new standards in today’s current state of digital supply chain transformation is an essential component of the pre-commerce angle. The last two decades have seen inefficient supply chain management tools negatively impact the ability of businesses to retain consumers and generate revenue growth. Supply chains of the past have been fragmented at best, most due to the nature of who sets them up.
Brands rely heavily on their factory partners to make the best judgment calls on their behalf, which creates disparate workflows and chains within the same brand. The evolution of supply chain management has primarily been credited to the rising ecommerce industry, causing supply chains to become increasingly complex to accommodate for consumer demands.
The modernized supply chain model focuses primarily on the harmonization and communication between the suppliers and brands via cutting-edge technologies such as automation and AI. Today’s supply management toolbox serves to support data analytics and trend forecasting to deliver long-term value to all parties involved. Technological integration into supply chain management allows companies and suppliers to easily navigate their assets, data, and processes on the centralized integration platform. So by having a cloud-based supply chain software that helps streamline design and development needs, companies can increase the speed that products reach the market. Data can help us build better and more circular projects by mapping out component supply chains earlier in the journey, gaining greater control and visibility over peripheral sourcing configurations.
Although sourcing itself as part of pre-commerce is not a new concept, crisis in the last few years has revealed an immediate need for sourcing to be diversified. By definition, sourcing is the set of business processes by which businesses deliver and acquire goods from outside the organization. It becomes more challenging when sourcing occurs in the global marketplace; when product import has to be facilitated between foreign manufacturers and the home country.
Coordinating various sourcing activities between suppliers who may be located in geographically diverse regions and brands, and potentially moving a finished good factory to a new geographic region requires the entire supply chain to be remapped. On top of all processes pre-commerce, this may cause companies to break a sweat. Coordinating complex supply chain functions and sourcing to global suppliers requires an intelligent platform that centralizes all product information onto one data to allow a strong partnership between all parties involved. Diversified sourcing and digitized supply chains are viable strategies to mitigate risk and increase speed to market.
Maintaining agility in the face of competition
Understanding the intricate complexities of the pre-commerce stage and what goes on behind the scenes before a product gets launched onto the market is undoubtedly a strategic differentiator in today’s fast-paced technological industry. It can become very clear very fast how inefficient supply chain models can disrupt both business performance and customer satisfaction, so the growing issue at hand is the need for companies to reevaluate their supply chain and alter it to meet corporate goals.
While all businesses can redesign their supply chains to gain a competitive edge, only those who can crack the code of coordination and information sharing will see improved business agility. There is a commonality between the changing expectations of both customers and brands you partner with: both are demanding visibility, access to high-quality service, and real-time status updates. The use of spreadsheets and emails to manage production functions does not cut it anymore, so data-driven management of supply chains to optimize core aspects of operations has become more emergent.
Planning ahead doesn’t always mean blindly committing in advance or compromising on flexibility to advance speed to market. Rather, gaining the upper hand in the pre-commerce stage starts with the ability to effectively share and track ideation and appraise economic viability for commercialization, starting at the component level of a product.

It is estimated that more than 20 million Americans age 12 and older have an addiction to some substance, excluding tobacco products. In 2016, 2.3 million people in that age group received treatment for an alcohol addiction. About 5,000 patients will enter emergency rooms for a drug abuse each day, it is true. Yet alcohol perhaps is more difficult to detox from for a number of reasons. When it comes to alcohol abuse, it seems that having backup is the key to long-term recovery.
Are All Alcohol Detox Centers the Same?
Alcohol rehab centers come in many different offerings. Some are simple structures in the middle of a city, while others are an oasis of calm for only the wealthiest of patients. Among these options are Christian detox centers, with a distinct message for their patients. Each center has the goal of assisting their patients with overcoming their addiction completely.
Why Is Alcohol So Tempting an Addiction?
Alcohol is often used as a relaxant. People commonly have a drink after a day at work, or after a difficult social interaction. Using alcohol to avoid dealing with an emotional problem is a widely-used tactic. Of course, its effectiveness is limited to the period one is under the influence.
Many people classify themselves as “social drinkers,” meaning they claim to only drink when around a group of friends. While there are plenty of people who do drink responsibly, very often these “social drinkers” greatly underestimate the amount they are drinking. In short, they could be binge drinking in public and falsely assume their behavior is normal.
What’s Special About Christian Recovery Programs?
The difference between a Christian detox center and other alcohol detox centers is that the Christian center insists that God will help patients through their hard times. All centers share the same purpose, which is to help the patient overcome their addiction to alcohol. Some patients find that a Christian detox center, with their message of forgiveness and hope, is helpful.
What Helps Someone Succeed At Defeating Their Alcohol Abuse?
Even though alcohol abuse is a tough habit to quit, there are a few proven techniques that keep people on the straight and narrow path of living free from addiction. The first is accountability, which has been parodied repeatedly. This often takes the form of confessing to one’s alcohol abuse. Addicts frequently try to pretend to themselves that their addictions are not really as bad as they seem. Avoiding the truth does no one any favors.
Admitting one’s problem takes maturity. It puts the cause of the problem right where it belongs. It also puts the solution to the problem where it belongs: with the addict. Accountability means that the patient commits to saving their own life. Christian detox centers simply want to let their patients know that they can also rely on a bigger Savior in Christ.
Alcoholism is a problem that eventually destroys many of the joys of living. One’s health, work prospects, goals, and even one’s relationships are all effected it. But quitting alcohol on your own is not just hard, but can actually be dangerous. While there are many people who successfully quit drinking without going to alcohol treatment centers, it sure is an easier process when there is help involved. Whether help comes in the form of renewed spirituality or not, don’t be afraid to seek help when you need it.

There are currently 9 cd’s in the Maestro Classics series. With one also available in Spanish. They are $16.98 per cd and $9.98 per mp3 download.
From the Maestro website:
The Story of Swan Lake, Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet score, is the tale of a prince who falls in love with a beautiful princess. The princess, however, has been turned into a swan by an evil magician, and only the prince’s love can break the spell. This narrated version of the classic tale for children is sure to delight all who love ballet and enchanting storytelling.
A 24-page activity book included with the CD contains a biography of Tchaikovsky, information on acoustic and electric guitars, sheet music and words for a sing-along song, explanation of major and minor keys, puzzles and more. MP3 download from Maestro Classics website includes a PDF of the activity booklet.
The Story of Swan Lake cd I received has the music from the ballet, over 30 minutes worth, as well as added features. The story of Tchaikovsky’s life is included so you can do a study on the composer.
There is a small 24 activity book included with the CD, which includes word games and activities, information about the composer, and sheet music for a short song. They only thing I didn’t like about the Cd was that the activity book is meant for one user. Maestro Classics has a great Homeschool Music Curriculum section with information for using the Classics in all subject areas. I think it would be much more conducive to using the activities in a homeschool setting if they were available as a download on their website. If you buy the mp3 version, the activity book is available in pdf form. So this is only a concern if you buy the cd version.
It is, however, not enough to keep me from recommending Maestro Classics. I do recommend Maestro Classics for the homeschool setting. When my oldest two were elementary and middle school aged, we lived close to a big city and got to take field trips to the symphony and the ballet. Now we, along with a good portion of other homeschoolers, live hours and hours from the city. Now with Maestro Classics, we can still expose our children to great classical music.
These CD’s are geared toward children from age 6-12. But honestly, I think they can be enjoyed by all ages. We all listened to the cd together. That includes 5th grade, 7th grade, 11th grade and me! It was nice to just have the music playing while we sat and listened to it. This would be great for learning on the go, also. Car school!
There is also a song on the cd titled Speed Metal Swan. A world famous guitarist’s version of the Swan Lake theme song. The heavy metal version was a little too much for my tastes, lol, but kids love it.
You can find Maestro Classics on Facebook and Maestro Classics on Twitter. At the time of this review, Maestro Classics is giving away an 8 CD set on the Maestro Classics Facebook page. Be sure to stop by and enter!
See what other Homeschool Crew members are saying about Maestro Classics.
*Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

It’s Official: The TBC-92 is the Largest Pump in the Oil Sands
GIW Industries, Inc. is proud of our customers and what they accomplish every day with the help of our slurry pumps. Occasionally, customers face operational challenges that existing equipment just can’t handle. That’s what inspires GIW engineers to create bigger and better pumps that continue our legacy of reliability and commitment to customer service. One recent innovation is the GIW® TBC-92 slurry pump — the latest in a long line of high-pressure pumps — that promises new heights of production!
Meet the TBC-92
We’re proud to claim the TBC-92 as the largest slurry pump currently operating in the mining industry worldwide. Weighing in at roughly 209,000 pounds — equivalent to a fully loaded Airbus A321 plane — it is by far the heaviest pump GIW has ever designed for the oil sands. It boasts a 92″ impeller diameter, with an adjustable suction liner.
In the course of designing such a massive pump, our engineers put special care into the TBC-92’s maintainability and materials, as well as the construction of its pressure-containing components. Our expertise, developed over years in the oil sands industry, allowed our engineers to create a pump that would fulfill the specific needs of its operators. While it incorporates elements from the TBC-84 “Super Pump,” the TBC-92’s design mainly builds upon that of our cutting-edge MDX product line, used in heavy-duty mining circuits throughout the world of hard rock mining.
The TBC-92 will provide customers with longer run times, fewer outages, increased production, and a lower cost of ownership. The pump’s sturdy, slow-turning impeller and heavy components contribute to a long wear life that reaches up to 6,000 hours of operation before requiring a wet-end component change. What’s more, the pump comes with custom-designed lifting devices to facilitate safe component removal and installation. It even features an easy-to-use adjustable suction liner that can be moved without shutting down the pump, helping in maintaining the gap between the impeller and suction liner.
Partnering with our customers
Our engineers work closely with the staff who use our pumps every day so that we can create products that lead to customer success.
In one customer’s operation, the mine had dedicated lines to particular processing areas; this meant that if one line went down, production was impacted across the board. To address this issue and to maximize production, they chose to tie the lines together so that either processing area could receive ore.
By combining the lines, the customer now needed a pump with an increased flow rate and a higher capacity than any other pump currently on the market. Since an off-the-shelf option did not exist, they chose to partner with GIW to develop the TBC-92. After manufacturing the pump, GIW conducted extensive Hydraulic Lab Performance testing, and provided hands-on support and training. This made the customer even more confident in the TBC-92’s abilities. GIW provided further support by assigning a dedicated site account manager to oversee installation and startup, maintenance planning, and suction liner adjustments.
Expanding our reach
This TBC-92 installation marks an exciting milestone for us; GIW now has pumps in all existing hydrotransport applications. We look forward to future opportunities in the oil sands and developing our partnership with our customers. As always, customers in the oil sands will have the full benefit of services and parts supply based out of the Fort McMurray location.
The success of the TBC-92 is a testament to GIW’s commitment to meeting customers’ needs from concept to operation. With GIW’s centralized, top-notch facilities, operators can be certain that this pump is head and shoulders above the competition.
In January 2020, the final commissioning of these monumental pumps was completed. All three pumps are now in service.[cta]We have the experience, capacity, and solutions necessary to meet your needs in every respect. If we can assist you in any way, please contact us at 1.888.TECHGIW (832-4449) or visit us online.[/cta]

Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that makes a woman infertile. This procedure closes the fallopian tubes, and stops the egg from traveling to the uterus from the ovary. The surgery is effective immediately. Tubal ligations are 99.5% effective as birth control. About ten percent of North American women rely on this method of birth control. There are two ways of performing the surgery.
A tubal ligation is a relatively simple out-patient surgery done in a clinic, doctor’s office, or hospital. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia. Mini-laparotomies and laparoscopies are the most common techniques for female sterilization. Other procedures include laparotomy, culpotomy, culdoscopy, hysteroscopy, and hysterectomy. Each procedure carries different risks and benefits. Be sure the clinic discusses surgical options with you, describes the risks, and answers all of your questions before the surgery.
Laparoscopy procedure – the abdomen is filled with carbon dioxide gas so that the abdominal wall balloons away from the uterus and tubes. The surgeon makes a small incision just below the navel and inserts a laparoscope, a small telescope-like instrument. A second incision is made just above the pubic hairline to allow the entrance of the instrument that will cut, sew or burn the tubes. The surgery takes about half an hour.
After surgery, it is recommended that you take 2 to 3 days off and only perform light activities for a week. Sexual activity can start again when you feel comfortable, usually after a week. Women who have surgery performed through their vagina are advised not to put anything into their vagina for 2 weeks to avoid infection.
There may be up to several months delay between your request for surgery and the day it is performed. You may want to consider other birth control methods in the meantime. Young women with no children may have difficulty finding a surgeon to perform the procedure.
What are the advantages of having a tubal ligation?
- One-time procedure.
- Very effective.
- No need to remember birth control method.
- You don’t have to interrupt sex.
- Cost effective in the long run.
Are there disadvantages?
- Reversal is expensive, difficult and sometimes impossible.
- Provides no protection against sexual transmitted infections.
- Although a tubal ligation dramatically decreases the risk of any pregnancy, if the procedure fails and a pregnancy results, there is an increased risk of it being an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg attaches and grows outside the uterus – requires immediate medical attention.
- Possible regret.
- Has risks associated with surgery.
Tubal ligation is considered permanent sterilization. Your decision should not be made lightly. Think about it and ask yourself: Would you change your mind if major changes in your life occurred, including a separation, or even the death of a partner or child? Consider as many possibilities as you can before making your decision.

A proposed highly accurate clock or oscillator would be based on the concept of an opto-electronic oscillator (OEO) stabilized to an atomic transition. Opto-electronic oscillators, which have been described in a number of prior NASA Tech Briefs articles, generate signals at frequencies in the gigahertz range characterized by high spectral purity but not by longterm stability or accuracy. On the other hand, the signals generated by previously developed atomic clocks are characterized by long-term stability and accuracy but not by spectral purity. The proposed atomic clock would provide high spectral purity plus long-term stability and accuracy — a combination of characteristics needed to realize advanced developments in communications and navigation. In addition, it should be possible to miniaturize the proposed atomic clock.
When a laser beam is modulated by a microwave signal and applied to a photodetector, the electrical output of the photodetector includes a component at the microwave frequency. In atomic clocks of a type known as Raman clocks or coherent-population-trapping (CPT) clocks, microwave outputs are obtained from laser beams modulated, in each case, to create two sidebands that differ in frequency by the amount of a hyperfine transition in the ground state of atoms of an element in vapor form in a cell. The combination of these sidebands produces a transparency in the population of a higher electronic level that can be reached from either of the two ground-state hyperfine levels by absorption of a photon. The beam is transmitted through the vapor to a photodetector. The components of light scattered or transmitted by the atoms in the two hyperfine levels mix in the photodetector and thereby give rise to a signal at the hyperfine-transition frequency.
The proposed atomic clock would include an OEO and a rubidium- or cesium- vapor cell operating in the CPT/Raman regime (see figure). In the OEO portion of this atomic clock, as in a typical prior OEO, a laser beam would pass through an electro-optical modulator, the modulated beam would be fed into a fiber-optic delay line, and the delayed beam would be fed to a photodetector. The electrical output of the photodetector would be detected, amplified, filtered, and fed back to the microwave input port of the modulator.
The laser would be chosen to have the same wavelength as that of the pertinent ground-state/higher-state transition of the atoms in the vapor. The modulator/ filter combination would be designed to operate at the microwave frequency of the hyperfine transition. Part of the laser beam would be tapped from the fiber-optic loop of the OEO and introduced into the vapor cell. After passing through the cell, this portion of the beam would be detected differentially with a tapped portion of the fiber-optically-delayed beam. The electrical output of the photodetector would be amplified and filtered in a loop that would control a DC bias applied to the modulator. In this manner, the long-term stability and accuracy of the atomic transition would be transferred to the OEO.

Mariana trench is the deepest and the darkest side of the oceanic trench on Earth. Mariana trench is dangerous because of its darkness and depth it is hot and cold inside. It is located on the Eastern side of the Philippines and in the Pacific Ocean. The Mariana Trench formed due to the two tectonic plates collide happened. Here are some of the exciting facts about Mariana Trench:
1. When Was It Discovered?
Image Source: MIT Technology Review
MIT Technology Review The Mariana Trench was first discovered in 1875 during the undertaking of a global circum navigation, and then it was pinpointed in 1951 by the British Survey ship Challenger II. Known as Challenger Deep, it was not visited for nearly ten years.
It is one of the least explored places on earth and so deep to swallow Mt. Everest. Mariana Trench's depth was first measured by depth sounding in 1875 by the Challenger expedition, a scientific effort to lay oceanography's foundation.
From that date, Mariana Trench has been measured and almost 70000 nautical miles the ship went exploring and mapping as it traveled and about 4700 species also have been discovered.
2. Scary facts about Mariana Trench:
Image Source: The What If Show
The What If Show Mariana trench is one of the coldest places in the world. Waters of the Mariana Trench are expected to be freezing cold because It is impossible for the sunlight to go down so deep. The Mariana Trench is believed to be more than 180 million years old. It is also believed that the trench is among the oldest sea beds in the world.
The color of the ocean floor of the Mariana Trench is slightly yellowish because of deposits of decayed plants and animals, as well as shells and animal skeletons In 2011 scientists also discovered that there are lots of giant amoebas present in the Mariana Trench and these creatures have a diameter of about 4 in (10.2) cm ).
The scary part is that there are many other dangerous new species in the Mariana Trench. Also, its enormous pressure can be a threat to human life. Therefore, human research in the Mariana Trench is next to impossible. Mariana Trench holds the deadliest species, more than 35,790 ft. (10,908.8 m) under the oceanic waters, there is a home to different unknown creatures; survival under such terrific and extreme conditions is indeed rare.
3. Facts about Expeditions to the Mariana Trench:
Image Source: Live Science
It is strange to hear but it is true that Mariana Trench has been explored only by three people. The first expedition to the Challenger Deep was successfully completed by engineer Jacques Piccard and Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh in 1960. Both of them stayed there for 20 minutes and came back. The darkness and dust from the seabed made the vision blurry.
So they failed to take any pictures of Mariana Trench. After advancements in science and technology, the Challenger Deep was again visited for ocean exploration in 2012, as the filmmaker, James Cameron decided to explore the Trench all alone with a submarine that was designed by himself. He took pictures but the batteries of his devices died.
4. Strange Facts about the Mariana Trench:
It is strange but interesting to know that if we could put Mount Everest, that is the highest mountain in the world to the deepest point of the Mariana Trench, the Challenger Deep, the peak of Mount Everest would still remain around 1.2 mi (2 km) under the sea.
Now you can imagine how deep the Mariana Trench is! The formation of the Mariana Trench occurred due to the shifting and movement of the Earth’s crust which in turn laid the formation of the oceanic floor.
5. Mariana Trench is home to more than 200 anonymous living microorganisms:
Image Source: Dutch Shark Society
Though Mariana Trench has horrifying darkness, extreme, hot and cold temperatures, and an acidic situation, there are more than 4700 species still living in that place and little creatures like amphipods and crustaceans.In 2009, President George W. Bush named the Mariana Trench the National Monument of the United States.
That’s all for today’s blog, hope you guys enjoyed learning the interesting facts about the Mariana Trench! If you want to share any other facts then do share with us till then #StayDarooon.

On this episode of ID The Future, Casey Luskin discusses a paper by Northern Arizona University philosopher Peter Kosso that challenges the typical definition of theory used by the Darwin lobby. When attacking opponents, Darwin lobbyists, such as those in the National Academy of Sciences, have defined “theory” as necessarily requiring a vast body of evidence. But is that what “theory” really means? Some people even describe Darwinian evolution to be both theory and fact. Tune in as Luskin clarifies these terms and reveals methods we can use to challenge Darwinian evolution without getting caught up in an endless argument of semantics.Read More ›
On this episode of ID the Future, Anika Smith interviews Joshua Youngkin about the academic freedom bill that passed in the Tennessee House. Why does a bill that actually encourages more teaching on evolution threaten Darwin-lobbyists? Tune in to find out, and stay tuned to Evolution News & Views as we track the bill in the TN legislature.
On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin examines the double standard advocated by the evolution lobby in public schools. “Either a viewpoint is religious and unconstitutional to advocate as correct or critique as false in public schools, or it’s scientific and fair game for both advocacy and critique in public schools,” says Luskin.Read More ›

Chapter 1: Introduction
The Seed of Philosophy
When anyone decides to make a trip to a holy place or visit a saint, he must be having a feeling within him of some sort of an inadequacy about the place where he is living and the circumstances under which he is working. This perception, which makes one take this decision, may be said to constitute the beginning of what people call philosophy. It is a faint recognition, though impalpable, indistinct, and not always conscious, of the presence of a value, a state of life, a condition of living, which is different from the one in which one is situated. A dissatisfaction of some sort subtly felt from within, though not clearly expressed consciously, is the incentive behind every effort, every activity, every enterprise, anything that man does in any way. If everything is all right, there would be no incentive to work. Something is wrong somewhere, and something has to be done about it. This necessity felt from within man, to do something, because something is not well, is the seed of philosophy that man sows in his life.
The Dissatisfaction of Man
No one in the world can be said to be fully satisfied with things. In whatever condition one may be placed, there is a kind of dissatisfaction. Nothing is complete in life anywhere. There are some complaints to make against everything. Nothing can satisfy anybody. The reason why, cannot be easily understood, though. One is likely to imagine that all the difficulties are socially constructed. Man looks around and sees people, and is thoroughly dissatisfied with the way in which they are behaving. "What a wretched society it is!"-often he complains under the impression that society is the source of the evil that he sees in life. He believes his sorrows are caused by other people. It is the cussedness of man's nature that is the source of his sorrows. Man is not behaving as man. "What man has made of man," says the poet. Society is not directing itself in the way it ought to. There is something dead wrong in the structure of human society. So, one looks up to the skies and exclaims, "What can I do?"
Government as a Solution to Man's Problems
Historians and students of political science tell us that originally people lived in a natural state. There was no society at all. There were only individuals scattered helter-skelter. There can be no organisation among people when they are in such a state of nature. This means that there was no regulation of any kind once upon a time. This appears to be a state of absolute freedom. Utopia indeed! But no. Historians, especially the philosophers of political science, tell us that this was a time when human beings lived like animals, and what law operated or prevailed at that time cannot be easily known at present. There was insecurity prevailing everywhere on account of the impossibility of discovering the attitude of another in regard to oneself. If we do not know what others are thinking about us, or what the other is trying to do in respect of us, the problem is obvious. When man cannot know his future, he is in a state of insecurity; he is restless inwardly.
The discovery that historians of political science have made is that man invented a mechanism called government to free himself from this sense of insecurity, which was rampant in a state of affairs where individuals had no rule or law among themselves. This is called the Social Contract Theory in politics. Man has manufactured a system of regulations, rules, etc., which he called government. People themselves have created it. They sat together, discussed among themselves as to what would be the best method according to which they should conduct themselves in society, and they thought there should be an agreement among themselves. This agreement among the people is called the law of the government. They imagined that they would then be secure and no trouble will come to them afterwards from any source, if there was a law which prevented them from being subjected to the onslaughts of uncanny forces and to the discomfort of an unknown future.
But man was not satisfied. We have governments, but we are still crying, weeping, cursing, and worrying within ourselves that things are as bad as they were, and are, perhaps, even worse. This mechanism, this structure of governmental control or regulation, has not helped man in freeing himself from sorrow, which was there at the origin of things, and which is there even now. In some other form, may be, but it is still appearing and showing its face. It has taken a different contour, but it is still there. Man is the same old man, worrying as he was worrying many centuries back. He has the same problems.
Ethics as a Solution to Man's Problems
There is the science of Ethics, often called morality, on which people hang very much for a safe conduct of human life. This is another of man's attempts at trying to tackle his feeling of inadequacy, insecurity, and bondage. A standard or a norm is framed for the behaviour of people, and, if the norm is broken, that behaviour is called unethical, immoral, and so on. Thus, the religions of the world today, especially those which have leant too much on these norms of ethics and morality, have turned out to be nothing but mechanisms of do's and don'ts, a different set of mandates that compel men to behave in a particular manner. While man is forced to behave in a particular manner only, willy-nilly, by the regulations of the government, the mandates of ethics and morality compel him in another way and force him to behave in a standardised manner, whether he wants it or not. So, again, he is in a state of bondage. Not even a ray of freedom can be seen in life. There are always compulsions from every side. Religion compels everyone to say, do, and think in this manner or that manner; society forces in its own way; and so do political governments.
Basic Urge of Man Is for Freedom, not Bondage
It appears that man is a bound soul pressed into a concentration camp, and it further appears that he just cannot hope to discover what he is internally aspiring for. The world does not seem to have the capacity to deliver the goods. There is no freedom in this world. It cannot be seen anywhere. Everybody is tied down by the shackles of some system, regulation, law, ethics, morality – whatever they may be.
Governmental laws are external mandates which force man to behave in a given manner. But man cannot be forced like that. Nobody wishes to be compelled to do, or even to think, something by force. There is a spontaneity in man. Every single individual asks for freedom and not bondage, be it of any kind whatsoever. Even to be subjected to the law of a government is a bondage, and to think what man aspired for was freedom! So, when men asked for freedom, they got bondage! From one kind of bondage they have entered into another kind; in the bargain, no freedom has come. Man, now, has a fear of a different type. While he was afraid of one individual or one group of individuals then, now he is afraid of a larger spectre that is before him, which he has himself created, and he does not seem to be any the better for it. The problem of man is inside man only. This is a very strange feature that thoughtful analysis of the human situation reveals. Adepts in this field have tried their very best to go deep into this tangle.
How is it that man is asking and searching for a thing which he cannot find in life? This again is a mystery. If freedom were unknown in this world, and if everybody were bound in some way or the other, or by something, it would be futile to seek it here. But man seeks nothing other than that. Is this not an irony? Is this not a contradiction? What can be a greater irony in life than to seek a thing in a place where it is not to be found? The human mind has tried its best to probe into these difficulties, and has invented various systems of living by which it may attain this freedom.
These daily activities of man, from morning to evening, are nothing but his attempts to achieve freedom. He is restless for one reason or the other, and the struggle to obviate the causes of restlessness takes the form of activity. Man is experimenting with the various phases of life by what is called activity, duty, and the like. Anything that he does, in any way whatsoever, is an expression of the energy within trying to break its bounds. But he has never succeeded in breaking through them. He has spent all his life in experimenting with things but has achieved nothing. So, a state of despair and a dissatisfaction with everything is the result. Then he sits quiet looking up, thinking that it is all a hopeless affair. Often people have to come to the conclusion that life is just not worth living. One does not see any meaning or any significance in anything, anywhere. Everything seems stupid; everything is nonsense! This is the first vision of life that one has before him. And, it is said that it is a good sign. It is an indication that the eyes are opening. Dissatisfaction with the first view of things is supposed to be the mother of all philosophies. When man casts an eye around, things do not satisfy him. It is in fact dangerous to be satisfied immediately, because things are alluring, tantalising, and facts are well camouflaged. If a camouflage or a make-belief can satisfy one, it is a sign of danger, because, 'things are not what they seem'. They are something, and they behave in a different way. The word "they" that is used here applies to everything, human and non-human. No person is what he appears outside, and no thing in the world is what it appears externally. Everything is different on the outside to the perception, to the vision. But man cannot easily believe that his knowledge is superficial only. That is why he is caught from every side.
Problems of Man
What are man's problems? What does he lack finally? It is an ocean of problems, and no one can easily give an answer offhand indicating the source of these difficulties. Man is apparently buffeted from every side. Man has problems within his own self, problems from outside society, and problems and unknown difficulties descending from the heavens like natural cataclysms, catastrophes, etc. In Indian philosophical terminology, these difficulties arising from the three sources are called tapatraya, a problem which is threefold in its nature. Inwardly there is some problem, outwardly there is some, and from above there is something else altogether.
The fear that man has from things outside him, from men and things, etc., is the external problem. One cannot trust things fully. There is an anxiety about everything. This is the difficulty that he faces from the phenomena outside.
There are also fears of a different type whose causes are unknown, which are capable of descending on man from above, like floods, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, tempests and thunderstorms, and other such natural calamities.
But over and above these, there are inward difficulties of one's own. Man is a psychological derelict in himself. There is a conflict in his own personality. Nobody can be sure even of his own self, what to speak of other people. We may not be able to trust others fully, but can we even trust our own selves? We cannot say what we will think the next day. Something seems to be working like a machine from inside us, and we seem to be untrustworthy to our own selves. Perhaps, this is the greatest danger in life, about which one has to exercise a greater concern than in respect of other things.
The difficulties that man has to face from outside and from above are not so acute as the ones that he has to face from within his own self. There are layers of man's internal personality which are at war with one another. Psychological problems are the greatest problems of life. The political, the social, and the economic problems, etc., are but secondary compared to these psychological ones. The greatest difficulty is psychological. Man lives or dies only by his mind.
There are students of life who contend that the difficulties of human life are not outside in the political field, the aesthetic field, the moral or the ethical field, but are ingrained in the structure of man. These people are the psychologists or the psycho-analysts. According to them, it is futile to study things which are external as they are not the sources of human difficulties. Man himself is the source of his own problems. The source of man's sorrow is a lack of inward adaptation. The study of the individual has been recognised as something which is precedent or antecedent to social studies or the studies which are called the humanities. The study of man is the primary study, not the study of society or nature outside, because there is no society without the individual, and Nature as such is not the source of the problems.
Futility of Man's Attempts
Thus, the cultures and the civilisations of nations are studied with a hope of finding a solution to human problems. Students of history have busied themselves in such themes as anthropology and the descent of man from his origin. Various civilisations have been probed into, only with one intention: to come to some sort of a conclusion about man's present difficulties. People have studied various types of political governmental systems and evolved numerous methods of self government. These have ended in nothing substantial, finally. The ethical sciences and moral codes have not really helped anyone. Many a time the discerning mind is inclined to believe that they are but man-made shackles. The norms of goodness and morality have not actually satisfied the soul of man. They have become annoying sources of a new type of bondage. People have taken to aesthetics, painting, drawing, music, literature, architecture, sculpture, and what not, with a view to find an avenue of escape from the turmoil of life as a whole, and these then become the vocations they are pursuing. All these things have satisfied none. Man is, today, individually and personally, no better off than his ancestors as a human being. The various forms in which man's external pursuits present themselves, aesthetics, axiology (the study of the values of life), ethics and morality, sociology, civics, economics, political science, history, civilization and culture, which go by the name of "the humanities", all these are studied by people who think that they can probe deep into the mystery of things, but nothing has been found yet. They have only dug up thorns and pebbles, but not the gold or the treasures that they expected there. People are disappointed. They have struggled and struggled, and found nothing. Thus having come to no conclusion whatsoever in finding an answer, they lament, "We are helpless. We can say nothing except that we are helpless."
Here is a step taken as an advance in the field of philosophical analysis. The recognition of the total helplessness of the human individual is a sign of wisdom. The pride of man has to subside. The ego which struts around as an all-knowing entity begins to feel the pulse within. That is the beginning of true philosophy. When people refer to philosophical studies in their conversations, it may give the impression that they are thinking of some intricate academic matters. It is nothing of the kind. On the contrary, philosophy is a state of mind in which one finds oneself perpetually. Everyone is a philosopher in the sense that everyone recognises the indistinct presence and beckoning of 'a something'. That something is felt as a presence by a faculty which is not the eyes nor the ears nor any other sense organ, but a superior principle present in everyone. That superior light is the faculty of supernormal recognition.

On any given day, most people spend an average of more than two hours gazing down at their mobile devices.
The electronic age is upon us, and according to New Orleans orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard Meyer your smart devices could be causing pain in your back and neck that is similar to whiplash.
But unfortunately most people don’t notice the pain coming on until it’s gotten severe, which occurs when the muscles have been stretched to their limit. In fact, new data indicates that texting can add about 60 pounds of force to the spine.
Your New Orleans orthopedic surgeon finds that his patients often complain of numbness and tingling down into their arms which can eventually lead to cervical degeneration disc disease.
But there are preventative actions you can take to prevent the pain, and it all begins with being aware of your posture. Correct your posture while sitting or standing by getting your head over your neck, while maintaining the curves of your back.
Your New Orleans orthopedic surgeon also suggests stretching by bending your neck to the left and right to stretch the muscles that are located along the side and back of your neck.
And remember – it’s okay to put your device down once in a while. Remind yourself that maybe it’s time to sit up, change what you’re doing, and add a stretch or two at the time.
If you are suffering from back or neck pain and need relief, call the office of New Orleans orthopedic surgeon Dr. Richard Meyer today to schedule a consultation.

So, choosing healthy hair products is very important for you, you know how to choose the best products for your hair and what ingredients can provide benefits for hair beauty.
Healthy black hair products also use certain nutrients for the good of the hair. Just like the body needs a lot of vitamins to be always healthy. So, there are several important vitamins for hair that can determine the health and beauty of your black hair.
Here are 8 vitamins that must be in your product, all of which support the health of your black hair, make it beautiful, beautiful and increase your confidence.
1. Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein which are essential for healthy hair. Hair requires a steady stream of amino acids for optimal growth.
There are 8 amino acids and these are very important for human health including the health of black hair. This amino acid is not produced in the body but must be consumed from outside.
The eight amino acids are isoleucine, leucine, methionine, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, valine, and tryptophan.
This is a very crucial vitamin in growing hair and making your black hair look healthy and beautiful.
Biotin plays an important role in hair and nail growth. That is why a person who is deficient in biotin can inhibit the growth of hair and nails.
Biotin is also a water-soluble vitamin and biotin also supports good skin health.
Inositol is a vitamin that is also related to hair growth, it ensures that the hair follicles are always moist so they don’t fall out easily or dandruff which eventually damages the hair.
Choline is also one of the best essential vitamins for healthy black hair. Hair needs a lot of choline to grow properly. Indeed, our bodies produce choline but only in limited quantities so that it is not enough for healthy hair, so we need to supply choline from outside.
The presence of choline can promote the growth and health of hair properly.
Zinc is an essential mineral that is also needed for the health of your hair.
American women generally suffer from low levels of zinc in their bodies and this is bad and can even lead to dull and unhealthy hair.
Another important mineral for black hair health is copper. Copper is one of the best vitamins for your hair.
Copper aids in the production of collagen, which is essential for healthy nails, hair and skin.
MSM is a natural form of sulfur. It can help the body in producing keratin.
Keratin is a hard protein for the strength of hair, and nails.
8. The overall diet should support your hair
Diet is a person’s behavior or attitude towards food. Diet is not only related to weight loss but is also closely related to chili and onions.
Various beauty products, including products for hair growth play an important role for your health.

Women often struggle with managing their weight and other health risk factors, such as high cholesterol, once they transition through menopause. A new study suggests that taking up dance may effectively lower cholesterol levels, improve fitness and body composition and in the process, improve self-esteem. Study results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
After menopause, women are more likely to experience weight gain, overall/central body adiposity increases, and metabolic disturbances, such as increases in triglycerides and bad cholesterol. Together, these changes ultimately increase cardiovascular risk. Around this same time, women often are less physically active, which translates into reductions in lean mass and an increased risk of falls and fractures. As a result of all these changes, postmenopausal women often suffer from decreased self-image and self-esteem, which are directly related to overall mental health.
Physical activity has been shown to minimize some of the many health problems associated with menopause. The effect of dancing, specifically, has already been investigated with regard to how it improves body composition and functional fitness. Few studies, however, have investigated the effects of dance on body image, self-esteem, and physical fitness together in postmenopausal women.
This new study was designed to analyze the effects of dance practice on body composition, metabolic profile, functional fitness, and self-image/self-esteem in postmenopausal women. Although the sample size was small, the study suggested some credible benefits of a three-times-weekly dance regimen in improving not only the lipid profile and functional fitness of postmenopausal women but also self-image and self-esteem.
Dance therapy is seen as an attractive option because it is a pleasant activity with low associated costs and low risk of injury for its practitioners. Additional confirmed benefits of regular dancing include improvement in balance, postural control, gait, strength, and overall physical performance. All of these benefits may contribute to a woman’s ability to maintain an independent, high-quality lifestyle throughout her lifespan.
Study results are published in the article “Dance practice modifies functional fitness, lipid profile, and self-image in postmenopausal women.”
“This study highlights the feasibility of a simple intervention, such as a dance class three times weekly, for improving not only fitness and metabolic profile but also self-image and self-esteem in postmenopausal women. In addition to these benefits, women also probably enjoyed a sense of comradery from the shared experience of learning something new,” says Dr. Stephanie Faubion, NAMS medical director.

Open Office Utilities
Open Office Utilities
Over the years various options have been added to the Datafile system to link to Microsoft Word and Excel programs including options to print reports to Word/Excel and to create word templates for use against main application databases. Recently the Open Office suite of programs has become more widely used and Release 6.4 includes options to link to these applications as we do Microsoft Word / Excel.
When printing a report within Datafile if the system
is configured to use Open Office rather than Microsoft Office options are
available to print the report to ‘Text Document’ or ‘Spreadsheet’.
If print to ‘Text Document’ then the report is printed
and opened using the Open Office Writer program. As part of opening the document Open Office
will ask for the font to use – typically when printing a report you would
select ‘Courier New’ or another fixed font for alignment purposes.
The report can then be amended as a standard text document.
If printed to ‘Spreadsheet’ then the report is printed
and opened using the Open Office Calc program.
The report can then be amended as a standard spreadsheet.
Note that the options to call the Ledger Enquiry from a spreadsheet and to print a report to a pivot table are not currently available when using the Open Office Calc program.
Application Word Links
Usually accessed through the Ledger Enquiry, though also available within the applications themselves, the Word link allows for the saving of word document such as letters etc. against the application record. For example on the Sales Ledger you can define templates for envelope printing or debtor chasing letters and then create a document for that template containing details from the customer account record. When using Open Office rather than Microsoft Word the procedures involved are basically identical though there are some differences which we will discuss below.
When you select the Word link option – selecting from
either the CRM panel in the Ledger Enquiry or the Word icon on the toolbar –
the standard application Word links are displayed.
The options available are identical to the R60WORD configuration of the link to Microsoft Word and include:
New Document – allows creation of a new word document against the application record.
Open Document – opens the currently selected document in the list.
Print Document – prints the currently selected document to the operating system default printer.
Delete Document – deletes the currently selected document
Maintain Template – allows maintenance of the application templates
Create from Template – creates a document for the currently selected application record against one of the application templates
Auto Create & Print – similar to Create from Template this option creates a document from an application template for the current record, but then prints it automatically to the operating system default print and then deletes the document afterwards.This is used for the likes of label or envelope printing where you do not need to keep copies of this document.
Refresh Screen – rebuilds the list of documents for the current application record (so that can see documents created by other users in the same session)
Exit – exits from the word link menu.
Text Document Design – opening a text document via any
of these options uses the Open Office Writer program. As with Microsoft Word you can insert data
items from the current application record – when maintaining templates the
system inserts a bookmark for the data, when maintaining a document the system
inserts the content of the data on the current record.
In a slight difference to the Microsoft Word link the data item list is displayed permanently on screen. It defaults to displaying in the top-right of the screen but you can move this as required – if you close the data item list then the Open Office document is also closed.As with Word you select the item you wish to insert, and you can hold the <Shift> key and the <Down-Arrow> key to select more than one at a time, and then click the INSERT button (you may want to tick the Insert Line option if inserting an address block).Once the document has been updated you can save and exit using the standard Open Office options.
One further difference between the Microsoft Word link and the Open Office Text Document link is that the Datafile session is ‘locked’ whilst the Open Office document is opened and is only re-activated on close of the document.
To enable the links to Open Office instead of Microsoft Office you need to set additional entries within the DATAFILE.INI. The DATAFILE.INI can be edited with any text editor (Notepad for example) and is usually held in the main DFWIN folder on the server. The commands required for Open Office are:
You may already have the WORDMODE and EXCELMODE entries in the INI with different operations so you will need to either edit these accordingly or comment them out (prefix with ‘;’) and add new entries.
If some terminals will use Microsoft Office and others Open Office then you need to comment out these entries in the DATAFILE.INI and move them to the DFWIN.INI which is usually held in C:\WINDOWS. Note thought that Microsoft Word users will not be able to see Open Office documents and vice versa.

Triceratops and Tylosaurus
The latest instalment in the “Jurassic World” franchise may have stopped production as reported on this blog last month, but the presses at “Prehistoric Times” keep rolling and this edition is just crammed full lots of amazing stories, model reviews, interviews and features. We see that our chum Andy and “Andy’s Dinosaur Reviews” gets a mention – well done Andy, keep up the good work on your YouTube channel. Andy recently reviewed the Rebor Fallen Queen Triceratops and this leads us on to the Triceratops feature by Phil Hore. It is a most interesting and informative read, a chronicle of the history of research into “three-horned face”. Some splendid reader supplied art is included, special shout outs to Jason R Abdale, John Patterson and Aaron Marsh for their contributions. Phil Hore also produced the piece on Tylosaurus – referred to as the “ram-headed mosasaur”. This is another well-crafted article, with lots of imaginative reader submitted illustrations. Honourable mentions to Mike Landry for his polar themed Tylosaurus illustration and to John Davies who depicts a Tylosaurus grappling with a giant squid.

the spherical figure of the earth could not prevent our feeing mount Atlas, because its fummit and that of Tenerife, by season of their immense height (although so far asunder) would yet be far exalted above the horizon. But whether or not vifion extends so far as what I am now hinting, I leave to others to determine.
< After we had refted some time, we began to look about and observe the top of the Pike. It's dimensions seemed to ex actly described by Mr. Eden, whose journey to the Pike we find related in some of our accounts of the Canary Islands. He says the length is about an hundred and forty yards, the breadth an hundred and ten. It is hollow, and shaped within like a bell subverted. From the edges or upper part of this bell, or cauldron, as the natives call it, to the bottom, is about forty yards. In many parts of this hollow we observed smoke and steams of sulphur issuing forth in puffs. The heat of the ground in some particular places was so great as to penetrate through the soles of our shoes. Seeing some spots of earth or soft clay, we tried the heat with our fingers, but could not thrust them in farther than half an inch; for the deeper we went, the more intense we found the heat. We then took our guide's staff, and thrust it into a hole or porous place, where the smoke seemed to be thickest, and held it there about a minute, and then drew it out, when we found it burned to charcoal. We gathered here many pieces of inost curious and beautiful brimstone of all colours, particularly azure blue, green, violet, yellow, and scarlet. But what chiefly engaged the attention of my companion, was the extraordinary and uncommon appearance of the clouds below us, at a great diftance; they seemed like the ocean, only the surface of them was not quite so blue and smooth, but had the appearance of very white wool; and where this cloudy ocean, as I may call it, touched the shore, it seemed to foam like billows breaking on the shore. When we ascended through the clouds, it was dark; but when we mounted again, between ten and eleven, the moon shone bright; the clouds were then , below us, and about a mile distant: we took them for the ocean, and wondered to see it so near; nor did we discover our mistake until the sun arose. When we descended to the clouds, in returning from the Pike, and entered within them, they appeared to us as a thick fog or mist, of the consistence of those we frequently see in England: all the trees of the fore-mentioned woods, and our cloaths, were wet with it.
" The air on the top of the Pike was thin, cold, piercing, and of a dry parching nature, like the south-easterly winds which I have felt in the great desart of Africa, or the Levanters in the Mediterranean; or even not unlike these dry easterly
winds which are frequent in the northern parts of Europe, in clear weather, in the months of March or April,
• In ascending the highest part of the mountain, called the Sugar-loaf, which is very steep, our hearts panted and beat vehemently, fo that, as I observed before, we were obliged to rest above thirty times, to take breath; but whether this was owing to the thinness of the air causing a difficulty of respiration, or to the uncommon fatigue which we suffered in climbing the hill, L cannot determine; but believe it was partly owing to the one, and partly to the other. Our guide, a slim, agile, old man, was not affected in the same manner with us, but climbed
with ease, like a goat; for he was one of those poor men who earn their living by gathering brimstone in the Cauldron and other volcanos, the Pike itself being no other, though it has not burned for some years paft, as may be plainly understood by the nature of its subitance; and indeed all the top of the island Thews evi. dent marks of some terrible revolution that has happened in Teneriffe ; for the sugar-loaf is nothing else than earth mixed with ashes and calcined stones, thrown out of the bowels of the earth : and the great square ftones, before described, seem to have been thrown out of the cauldron or hollow of the Pike, when it was a volcano. The top of the Pike is inaccessible in every way but that by which we went up, viz. by the east-side. It's steepest part is on the north-west, towards Garrachica. We tumbled some loose rocks down from that quarter, which rolled a vast way, till we loft fight of them.
Having surveyed every thing worthy of observation, we returned to the Estancia, where our horses were left; the whole time spent in descending from the top of the Pike to this place was only half an hour, although the ascent took us up about two hours and a half. It was now about ten in the morning, and the sun shone so excessively hot as to oblige us to take Shelter in the cottage; being exceedingly fatigued, we lay down there, intending to sleep, but could not for the cold, which was fo intense under the shade, that we were obliged to kindle a fire to keep ourselves warm.
• After taking some repose, we mounted our horses about noon, and descended by the same way that we went up, and came to some pines, situated above the clouds: between these pines and the Pike grows no herb, shrub, tree, or grass, excepting the forementioned retama. About five o'clock in the even: iny we arrived at Orotava, not having alighted by the way to stop, only sometimes to walk where the road was too steep for riding. The whole distance we rode in the five hours spent in coming down from the Estancia to Orotava, we computed to be about fifteen English miles, travelling at the rate of three miles an hour: suppose we then deduct five of these for windings and turnings, the distance from the sea to the Estancia, in a strait line, will be about ten miles; which, if carefully compared with the ascent of the road, I reckon will make the perpendicular height of the Estancia to be about four miles; to which add a mile of perpendicular height from thence to the Pike, the whole will be about five English miles: I am very certain I cannot be miftaken in this calculation above a mile either
way. There is no place in the world more proper for an observatory than the Estancia: if a commodious warm house or cottage was built upon it, to accommodate astronomers while the moderate weather continues, viz. all July, August, and September, they might make their observations, take an account of the wind and weather of the region above the clouds, and remark their nature and properties. But if any person intends to visit the Pike, I would advise him to wait for fine clear weather, carry a good tent, plenty of water, and some provisions along with him, that he may be enabled to remain at the Estancia four or five days; in which time he might go twice or thrice to the top of the Pike, and make his observations at leisure.'
The island of Hierro has been long famous in history for a tree, which distills water from its leaves. This phænomenon is by some represented as miraculous, while others deny the existence of it. Our author tells us that there is actually fuch a tree in the island, and that its leaves constantly distil a quantity of water sufficient for every creature in the island. It is situated on the top of a rock, at the extremity of a narrow gully or gutter, about a league and a half long, which commences at the sea. This famous tree is about three feet in diameter, thirty feet high, and the circumference of all its branches one hundred and twenty. The latter are remarkably thick and extended, and the longest about an ell from the ground. Its fruit resembles the acorn, and tastes something like the kernel
a pine-apple *, but is softer and more aromatic. The leaves resemble those of the laurel, but are longer, wider, and more curved ; they come forth in a perpetual succession, so that the tree is always green. On the north side of the trunk are two large cifterns of rough stone, each twenty feet square, and twelve deep: one contains water for the drinking of the inhabitants, and the other that which they use for their cattle, &c. Every morning, near this part of the island, a cloud or mift arises from the sea, which the south and easterly wind force against the steep cliff, so that the cloud having no vent by the gutter ady mentioned, gradually ascends it, and from thence ad
* Not the anana, but the fir, or pine-apple.
vances slowly to the extremity of the valley, where it is stopped by the front of the rock which terminates the valley, and then rests on the spreading branches and thick leaves of the tree ; whence it distils in drops during the remainder of the day. Other trees, several of which grow near it, perform the same office, and the inhabitants fave some water from them, though much less than from the fountain tree, which they call Till. This tree yields most water when the Levant or easterly winds have prevailed for some time; it being only by these winds that the clouds or milts are driven to it from the sea.
We shall conclude our account of this performance with the description Mr. Glas has given us of the manners and customs of the present inhabitants, referring the reader to the work itself for a more particular account of these celebrated islands.
• The natives of these islands, although their deportment is grave, are extremely quick and sensible. The women are remarkable for their vivacity and sprightly conversation, which far exceeds that of the French, English, or other northern nations. This agreeable lively humour is not peculiar to the inhabitants of those islands, but is common to those of the temperate countries, particularly the northern part of Africa.
· The Baron de Montesquieu has been very particular in telling us what effect the air and climate has upon the temper and genius of the inhabitants of different countries; but although no attentive traveller can be perfuaded to agree with him in his notions of these things, yet we may venture to affert with truth that the natives of the temperate climates are naturally endowed with more sense, penetration, and quickness of apprehension, than those of the countries situatcd to the southward of them : for, to whatever cause it may be owing, it is certain that the northern nations, Blacks, and Indians, are a heavy, phlegmatic, and stupid people, when compared with the Libyans, Arabs, Spaniards, and Canarians: but this difference cannot be so well observed as in such of these people as have not had the advantage of education, but are left entirely to nature.
· The great families in those islands would be highly offended if any one should tell them that they are descended from the Moors, or even the ancient inhabitants of these islands; yet I imagine it would be no difficulc matter to prove, that most of their amiable customs have been handed down to them from those people, and that they have inherited little else from the Gothic fide but barbarity. Yet the Canarian gentry, and all the Spaniards, are proud of being thought to have dcfcended from the Goths. « The gentry of these islands boast much of their birth, and with reason; for they are descended from some of the best families in Spain. It is said that the Count of Gomera is the true heir to the honours of the house of Medina Cæli, but is not able to assert his juft title, because of the great influence the prefent Duke has at the court of Madrid, from his immense fortune. The gentry here have fome privileges, which I cannot specify, but they are trifling. I remember when a Scots gentleman of family, a physician in Canaria, wanted to obtain the sank of nobility in that island, he was obliged to produce a certificate from his native country, that there had never been a butcher, taylor, miller, or porter in his family. This was not very difficult to procure, as he came from a remote part of the Highlands of Scotland, where very few follow any handicraft. . It is not to be wondered at, that the trade of a butcher should not be esteemed, or that of a taylor, which last is a profeffion rather too effeminate for men to be employed in, but why millers and porters should be held in contempt, is hard to imagine ; especially the former, who are an inoffensive set of men, and absolutely necessary in almost every country: it is true, indeed, that here they are great thieves, for each family fends its own corn to the mill, where, unless it is narrowly looked after, the miller generally makes an handsome toll. I have been informed, that when any person is to suffer death, and the proper executioner happens to be out of the way, the officers of justice may seize the first butcher, miller, or porter they can find, and compel him to perform that disagreeable office.
< I remember, that once when I touched at the island of Gomera, to procure fresh water, I hired some miserable, poor, ragged fishermen, to fill our casks and bring them on board : some time after, I went to the watering-place to see what progress they had made, when I found the casks full, and all ready for rolling down to the beach, with the fishermen standing by, converfing together as if they had nothing to do. I reprimanded them for their Noth in not dispatching the business I employed them in ; when one of them, with a disdainful air, replied, “What do you take us to be, Sir? do you imagine we are porters ? no, Sir, we are scamen." Notwithstanding all my intreaties, and promises of reward, I could not prevail on any of them to put their hands to the casks to roll them to the water-fide, but was obliged to hire porters.
• In another voyage I happened to have several Canarian seamen on board, among whom was a boy from Palma, who had been a butcher's apprentice or servant; the seamen would not cat with him for a long time, until I came to understand it,

The Executive Secretary, National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), Dr. Barclays Foubiri Ayakoroma, has stated that there is every need for government to take proactive measures towards ensuring that the right things are done to give our indigenous languages a pride of place in the scheme of things.
Ayakoroma made this known in his office, Wednesday, 19 February 2014, while fielding questions in an exclusive interview with a BBC Media Action reporter, Chibuike Utaka, on the fear that over forty indigenous languages spoken in Nigeria will soon go into extinction.
In the interview, which lasted for about an hour, the ES expressed worry that if the UNESCO prediction that Igbo language (one of the big three in Nigeria) is facing extinction is anything to go by, then one can only imagine what will happen to the smaller ones, stressing that language is one of the factors or instruments that give people an identity and losing it implies that they have lost their culture.
According to him, NICO as an agency of government, with the responsibility of orientating and sensitizing Nigerians towards a culture-friendly lifestyle, has been concentrating on Nigerian indigenous languages as one of its core programmes.
His words: “We teach Nigerian indigenous languages during the long vacation in August. We have progressed to what we call the Weekend Language Programme because the long vacation programme was targeted at children so that during the vacation, instead of their being at home and playing video games, being on social media, at least they will spend that valuable time to learn their indigenous languages. With the response we have had, we felt there was need for us to go on a Weekend Language Programme so that it will offer an opportunity for those who may not have the time during the long vacation programme to now attend the weekend programme.”
The NICO boss blamed the dyeing state of our indigenous languages in the school system, the family, the religious system and even in offices, saying: “In the primary school system then, when we were growing up, learning started with the indigenous language. I am from the Ijaw speaking part of Nigeria. We started school learning the alphabets, the numbers in our Izon language; but that is not the case now. Somebody could say the National Policy on Education provides that for the early years of a child, the learning should be in the indigenous language or the language of the immediate environment. But are we really implementing it? You come to the family; how many parents speak indigenous language in their home?”
Continuing, Ayakoroma regretted that in many families today, indigenous languages are dead, in such a way that when parents speak their indigenous languages to their children, they rather ask their parents what they were talking about, which implies that they do not understand what their parents are saying, a situation he described as a major problem, warning that unless the use of indigenous languages is made key in our communication process in the family, our efforts at saving Nigerian indigenous languages from going into extinction will be a mirage.
While lamenting that our religious bodies too have not helped matters as it is only in the villages today that pastors preach in indigenous languages, Ayakoroma pointed out that the Federal Ministry of Education, on its part, has had the responsibility of ensuring that our indigenous languages are taught compulsorily.
He recalled a number of countries where he has visited and got to understand that their educational systems were fashioned in such a way that learning starts in the indigenous languages and further queried why it was not mandatory for foreigners students to study our indigenous languages in Nigerian universities; while our children go abroad to study and are subjected to learning their indigenous languages before proceeding to study their main courses.
“Even talking about the UK, a graduate from Nigeria will be made to take the Test in English as a Foreign Language, which to me is an embarrassment; that you studied English right from primary, secondary up to university level and you are going to UK to do a masters programme and they still test you because they know that English is not your own language. If you read Yoruba or Hausa or Igbo, they will not say come and do exams in these languages because they know that is your own area of efficiency.”
Ayakoroma disclosed that NICO has made it in such a way that all culture workers, who register for the Diploma and Post-Graduate Diploma programmes in Cultural Administration study Nigerian Language compulsorily, and that it is fashioned in such a way that if a candidate is Igbo, he or she will not be allowed to offer Igbo; if Ijaw or Hausa, the candidate will equally not be allowed to offer those languages because it is assumed that candidates should be able to speak their mother tongue.
He therefore expressed optimism that if Nigerians can speak more of other languages, there will be accelerated integration stressing, “If I come to your house and I speak your own language to you, I am not sure you will look at me as a total stranger. You will be surprised that I speak your language and ask me how did I do it and friendship starts from that very moment and that is what we are trying to do in NICO.”

New growth type industries of Japanese Economy <論説>
ResRegEcon_9_35.pdf 777 KB
This paper's purpose aims to survey and sketch a characteristic of new industrial change of Japanese Economy.
The Japanese Economy shifted to export dependence type economy at 1980's because rationalization after an oil crisis at the beginning of 70's had been done. Processing structure industries of export oriented type and new service industries led Japanese Economy from that time to bubble economy period.
Firstly, Japanese Economy made a recovery from about 1993 after the collapse of the bubble economy, but it seems that the cultivation of new investment opportunity has not yet been successful until today.
Secondly, international dependence of the Japanese Economy has been increasing little by little over 40 years. It is evident that this is a trend of the contribution rate of exports and imports.
Thirdly, we can see clearly that the relative importance of tertiary industry employee steadily increased, absorbing the primary industry workers whose number dropped dramatically. In addition, the share of the service industry increased, making it the new growth industry by multi-sectoral macro economic data (divided into 23 sectors).
Forthly, today's characteristic of economy and society of Japan brought by a fundamental change of industry structure, but the change in the industry structure becomes unclear and difficult to see.

At Halcyon, we recognise that nurturing students’ passions and interests is the key to their engagement in the classroom.
Our students have a varied list of options to engage in before, after, and during school. Our Extra-Curricular Activities also include options aimed at bolstering all our students’ university applications, providing further choices to engage in community service, to build civic skills, to explore specific career-related programmes, and to be creative or active.
We also encourage our students to design, promote and run their own clubs, nurturing their trust in us and actively encouraging them to hold responsibility for their choices in education. Secure in the knowledge that Halcyon advocates for their individual interests, our students are happy and motivated to learn.
Halcyon is proud to host a passionate and active Model United Nations team. Our young diplomats brought their analytical and debating skills, and awareness of global issues to international conferences such as MUNISH (Model United Nations at the International School of the Hague). During our last trip to MUNISH, Boet and Stella (Grade 10) were nominated as two of 17 ‘Best Delegates’ – an incredible achievement, given that over 1200 students attended the event. Our mixed-grade MUN team enjoys the considerable responsibility of hosting Halcyon’s annual student-led MUN Conference. Handling visitor invitations, organising resolution topics and welcoming guest speakers, the MUN team enjoys the challenge of debating and sharing knowledge with visitors from local independent and state schools across this two-day event.
In their Spring 2020 inter-school tournament, the Senior Boys’ Football Team won four out of five of their group games! Omar (Grade 12) came second for Player of the Tournament, and Halcyon won the Sportsmanship trophy. Halcyon is proud to maintain an excellent reputation for fair play.
The Senior Girls’ Football team equally delivered a fantastic performance throughout the tournament, reaching the final and placing second overall. Alba (Grade 12) received the Player of the Tournament Award, demonstrating sportsmanship, teamwork and excellence to our local school community.

Myths and Facts about “Prisoner X”
Feb 26, 2013 | Isi Leibler
As a former head of the Australian Jewish community and now resident in Israel, I was bombarded with endless calls from the Israeli and global media soliciting comment on Ben Zygier, the Australian who committed suicide while in solitary confinement in an Israeli prison.
I declined to respond because I am not privy to secret information from the Mossad nor from the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and I had nothing constructive to contribute.
Now, having had time to mull over the events, and with the ebbing of the sensationalist media coverage of conspiratorial theories based on imaginary scenarios concocted by creative journalists, I feel more inclined to express a few observations.
At the outset, I feel impelled to state that although I consider that there was every justification to initially retain media silence on such a sensitive security issue, once the misleading exposé of the affair was released to the world by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the continuing Israeli gag order was regrettable and counterproductive.
It would have been preferable for Israel to have responded immediately with a brief statement to the effect that there had been a security breach and that the accused had committed suicide while in prison. In all likelihood, this would have substantially staunched the flood of damaging speculation and hysteria that ensued, such as comparing Israel to Argentina in the 1970s, wild allegations of torture and even questioning whether Ben Zygier had been murdered.
In light of media speculation relating to the suicide, there is now an obligation on the part of the Israeli Government to follow-up the release of the findings of the judicial inquiry that had already taken place to ascertain whether the accused was under adequate supervision in the prison in which he was being held. We live in a democracy and are entitled to be reassured that if there was a breakdown or negligence on the part of the prison authorities, those responsible will be held to task and that every effort will be made to ensure that such a tragedy is averted in the future. On the other hand, it is a harsh reality that prisoners determined to end their lives usually succeed.
However, without relating to the guilt or otherwise of Ben Zygier, it must be stressed that on the basis of the limited information available, there is no evidence to suggest that either the state authorities or Mossad acted irresponsibly or breached the law. The rule of law applied throughout the entire proceedings. The hearings were carried out in camera due to security requirements, senior judges were involved, three lawyers were engaged in Zygier’s defence and he was allowed access to his family. That Zygier was being tried and held in custody under an assumed name was with his approval and that of his family. It was his tragic suicide that provoked the media frenzy and proliferation of wild conspiracy theories.
Problems relating to national security apply to all countries but invariably to a greater extent in Israel which is subject to more acute security threats than any other nation in the world. To Israel’s great credit, despite the Jewish state being under constant siege and threat from terrorism since its creation, this has in no way compromised our resilient democratic process.
It would appear that on the surface, the Australian Government’s response to the media releases to date was restrained, despite an angry outburst by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Foreign Minister Bob Carr had initially expressed surprise over the affair, but it emerged that Israel had in fact informed the Australian Government immediately after Zygier’s arrest and again the day after his death. It is noteworthy that the Zygier family did not request the intervention of the Australian authorities.
In response to questions, the Australian Foreign Minister did indicate that Australia would conduct further investigations.
Anti-Israeli elements in Australia, supported by sections of the media, tried to exploit the situation to besmirch Israel’s image. One prominent anti-Zionist Jewish extremist, on Australia’s national radio, accused his fellow Jews of harbouring dual loyalties and claimed that the Jewish school system was a breeding ground for brainwashing children to settle in Israel.
This affair has undoubtedly created negative ripples against Israel among the public. There is still fallout from the passport imbroglio in 2010 when Australia, considered among Israel’s best friends, became one of the primary countries whose passports were illegally employed by Mossad for intelligence operations.
Australian Jewry, one of the most passionately Zionist Diaspora communities, regards this episode as a great tragedy. Ben Zygier’s father, Geoffrey, had served in professional positions in a number of leading Jewish organisations and is well regarded by those who know him. Ben himself was considered an effervescent personality and a committed Zionist who emigrated to Israel and it is heartbreaking that a young, idealistic Zionist’s journey could end so catastrophically. Other than expressing sympathy for Zygier’s parents, who were obliged to endure a repetition of the grief and mourning they underwent two years ago when they buried their son, Jewish communal leaders declined to comment.
Beyond investigating whether negligence contributed towards the suicide, this tragic episode reminds us that we Israelis live in a very tough region and that even as a democracy, security related issues will arise which must remain outside the public purview.

Asthma is a common lung condition that affects 5.4 million people in the UK and can lead to symptoms such as coughing, wheezing or feeling breathless. Asthma is best controlled by regular use of a corticosteroid inhaler, which prevents symptoms from occurring. People with asthma may also use rescue or ‘SABA’ (short-acting beta-agonist) inhalers to quickly relieve symptoms when needed.
However, research has shown that it’s common for people with asthma to overuse SABA inhalers (defined as six or more prescriptions per year), and that relying on SABA for relief instead of using corticosteroids to prevent symptoms is linked to poor asthma control and an increased risk of severe asthma attacks and hospital admissions. The National Review of Asthma Deaths in 2014 found evidence of overuse of or over-reliance on reliever inhalers in people who died of asthma. Electronic surveillance of prescribing in primary care was recommended as a matter of urgency.
In East London, where Queen Mary University of London is based, hospitalisation for acute asthma is 14% above the London average. Given the impact this has on our community, researchers at Queen Mary’s Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) analysed over 700,000 anonymised patient records at 117 GP practices in East London. They found that 26% of patients with asthma are still overprescribed SABA inhalers. Out of this group, a quarter of those were also underusing preventative (corticosteroid) inhalers, raising concerns about inadequate prevention in a group of people with significant asthma.
Anna De Simoni, Lead author and GP and Clinical Lecturer in Primary Care at Queen Mary University of London, said:
“Working with patients to improve regular use of preventative inhalers should be central to reducing asthma-related hospital admissions. There is still significant room for improvement - we calculated that supporting patients who use more than 12 SABA inhalers per year to reduce their use to 4-12 could result in 70% fewer asthma-related hospital admissions in that group.
“There is also a need to provide GPs and pharmacists with the right tools to support patients to do this. In the next phase of this research programme, we plan to provide practices with tools to support the identification and management of high-risk patients based on prescribing records.”
The study also revealed that prescribing varies significantly between GP practices, with some overprescribing to 6% of their asthma patients and some overprescribing to as many as 60%. Further analysis of the variation revealed that overprescribing was strongly linked to repeat dispensing (where prescriptions are issued automatically by community pharmacists).
Paul Pfeffer, co-author and Consultant Respiratory Physician with special interest in asthma at Barts Health NHS Trust, said:
"There is an ongoing major burden of inappropriate and dangerous rescue inhaler overuse in asthma, and our paper highlights the complexity of the problem with multiple reasons patients are over-prescribed SABA inhalers. The findings are a call for more detailed research into interventions to reduce inappropriate SABA overuse in different patient groups."

A country rich with nature and diverse values
India is a major powerhouse of South Asia, with a long history of civilization, and diverse climates ranging from the tropics to the highlands. In 1947, it declared independence from Great Britain, and became a democratic country.
Today, India has a population of 1.3 billion and is one of the most populous countries in the world.
The official languages of India are Hindi and English, however there are 21 other languages officially recognized by the constitution. India is a culturally,religiously and ethnically diverse nation.
While it’s recent economic development has impressed many, it also faces a myriad issues such as population growth, environmental degradation, poverty and ethnic conflicts.
The situation for children in India
India’s economic development is drawing global attention, however on the other hand it is also a country where child labour is a serious issue.
Discrimination based on the caste system and gender discrimination against girls are also prominent issues in India. There are fewer girls than boys receiving education, and the literacy rate is also lower for girls. Moreover, child marriages, where child brides are forced into marriages are also an issue.
Free the children began its project in India in 1998 to protect children’s rights. In 2000, FTCJ started its project in West Bengal andhave since then also began a project in Rajasthan.

Did you know?
68% of children graduate from primary school in India, and the drop out rate is especially high among children in poverty. The enrollment rate for secondary school is 65%, with the graduation rate said to be 50%.
In India, the national prevalence of under-five stunting is 37.9%(UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, 2015).
The literacy rate in India is 71.2% (CIA World Factbook, 2015).
The life expectancy in India is 68.8 years (UNDP, 2018).
Our support programs
In order to protect children’s rights in India, we tackle the issue from multiple dimensions. It is our responsibility to teach children that they are entitled to their rights.
1. Adopt a Village Program
To alleviate children from poverty, we must not only support their children but also ensure that their families, especially mothers are able to live a healthy lifestyle, ensure that there are schools that children can attend, that they have access to safe water, and ensure that the children’s families have a stable source of income.
There is not a single right way to tackle poverty; it is essential to tackle it from multiple dimensions. Our project with impoverished communities in Rajasthan, are based on the ‘Five Pillars’.
2.CCD Muktaneer Children’s House Support Program
Muktaneer Children’s House is a nursing home operated in West Bengal by CCD, a local NGO. They support child labourers, street children, and impoverished children, empowering them with their rights, and providing them with a safe environment.
FTCJ supports the children in these facilities to be educated and lead
a healthy life.

A ‘garden’ visit: Poppleton Community Railway Nursery
I am a great fan of Heritage Open Days, so I was keen to find somewhere suitable to visit whilst staying in Yorkshire. I was surprised to find something that combined my individual interests of gardening and railways, in the shape of Poppleton Community Railway Nursery (PCRN). Perfect!
Upper Poppleton is a pretty village just outside York on the York to Harrogate railway line. Right by the flower bedecked station is a rich slice of little known railway history. PCRN is the last remaining garden nursery of the six that used to supply flowers and vegetables to stations and other railway properties up and down the land. One of the volunteers kindly took us round on a guided tour, which was absolutely fascinating.
The nursery started during the Second World War, when the Dig For Victory campaign meant the railway company had to look to its own resources to provide food for its workers' canteens and railway owned hotels. In 1941, the land at Poppleton Station's Goods Yard was pressed into service and so the garden nursery was born.
After the War, and the nationalisation of the railways into British Rail, attention initially turned to the provision of shrubs and trees to stabilise bomb damaged railway embankments. Soon afterwards, production changed to supplying flowers for the tubs and hanging baskets used along the East Coast Main Line. Supplies were often taken to London too. Once a week an entire carriage (emptied of its seats) was parked at the station ready for packing with flowers to be taken down the line to the capital.
During the 1980s a miniature railway was installed to transport materials and plants around the site. It seems this was a whim of the nursery manager at the time!
Towards and beyond railway privatisation
British Rail continued to invest in the nursery well into the 1990s. The gas lamps were finally replaced in 1991 and the boilers converted from coal to bottled gas. As well as supplying the railway, diversification was also tried to keep the nursery in profit.
Surprisingly the nursery remained open when British Rail was privatised and the site became the local office for Jarvis, one of the companies who used to maintain our railway infrastructure. The greenhouses gradually fell into disrepair and Jarvis finally abandoned the site in 2006.
By then Poppleton was the only remaining railway nursery and a group of railwaymen were keen to save it. Jarvis were persuaded to provide the secure lineside fencing required and the site was eventually re-opened and leased from Network Rail in 2009 on a rolling 3-year basis.
The nursery is run by volunteers as a community based, not for profit venture. Lots of repair work is still needed and where possible this is done by linking with other local groups and initiatives. Horticultural therapy is another key strand in the group's work and the nursery works in partnership with the local NHS.
Plants are grown and supplied to local stations like Poppleton and to some along the Settle to Carlisle line. Regular plant sales are held at the nursery and local hospitals. These form a major source of income. Membership is also available for a mere fiver. I've joined to show my support as we didn't have room in the car to bring any plants home.
When we think of 'heritage' it's often of castles, stately homes and other grand or ancient buildings. It's great to see there's room for our more recent history under Heritage Open Days' sheltering umbrella. Without it - and the hard work of the band of enthusiastic volunteers we met on the day - I'm sure Poppleton Community Railway Nursery could so easily have been lost forever.
This is just the kind of unusual project and place I like to find.

Teen Rebellion: Where to find teen teen?
“It would be like saying your husband is ‘rebelling’ when he disagrees with you,” says Laurence Steinberg,Ph.D., a Temple University psychologist and author of more than a dozen books on adolescence, most recently the Age of Opportunity.
“Parents become accustomed to little kids not questioning them, so when their kids get to an age where it’s natural for them to question, they see it as defiance.”
None of this is to say that dealing with a teenager who is constantly being contrarian is easy. Having someone in your house who rolls his eyes at your every utterance, slams her bedroom door when you tell her to clean her room, or stomps off when you set bedtimes or curfews can be extremely stressful.
But the distinction between actual rebellion and what most adolescents do—which is to push back in a normal, healthy way—is crucial.
3 Ways Parents can Make the Teen Years a Little Smoother:
1. Compromise where it makes sense.
It is important to understand that the major battles between teens and their parents are usually about control.
A typical example is when your kid has a messy bedroom. Mom and dad can’t get past the dust and dirt, piles of clothing, and grimy dishes. All they want is for things to be cleaned up—and now. Meanwhile, the kid says, “It’s my room. If you don’t like it, I’ll close the door.”
The key to solving this kind of argument is not to give your teen an ultimatum. “Clean your room or you can’t go out this weekend.” Instead, Steinberg suggests that parents find a way to reach a reasonable compromise. Acknowledge your teen’s point of view while asserting your parental right to have a clean home.
“Brainstorm with your kid to figure out a way you can both be happy,” Steinberg says.
In my own house, we’ve reached just such a compromise. My 17-year-old is required to pick up the mess in his room once a week so it can be cleaned. The rest of the week, I let him have his space. (I just try not to look.)
One way to find a middle ground is to test things on a pilot basis. Says Darling: “If there is an area where they want more freedom and you are uncomfortable, you can say, ‘Let’s try it—if it works out, great. If not, we’ll step back.’”
2. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
On big issues—abiding by curfew, attending school, never drinking and driving—parents have an obligation to be firm. And research shows that most teens are more than comfortable with that.
“In our studies we find that kids actually complain that parents don’t set rules—not that they do,” Darling says. “They may not like the rules, they may not agree with you, but they believe in your right to set them and they want those boundaries. It lets them know that you care, and it gives them something to rub up against.”
At the same time, parents shouldn’t be rigid on things that don’t matter as much, if at all.
“These are areas where you could make a case that the kid should have a say,” Darling explains. “Like what music they listen to, who their friends are, who they date, what they wear, and what they do in their free time.”
Steinberg agrees. “On most of the big issues, teens and parents usually see eye to eye,” he says. “It’s the little things that they get hung up on.”
3. Communicate early and often.
One way to lower the temperature in your house is to keep the lines of communication open. This is important no matter what age your child is. And if you are not in the habit of talking with your kids, it’s never too late to start.
That said, the earlier the better.
“Don’t wait until they are 13 or in trouble,” says Amy Bobrow Gross, Ph.D., a New York psychologist whose private practice focuses on children and teens. “You want them to feel comfortable talking to you well before they become teenagers.”
This isn’t always easy—especially if you have a tendency to argue. That’s why it’s best to walk away in the heat of the moment, Gross says. Then come back when everyone is calmer so you can have a more productive dialogue.
How To Talk To A Rebellious Teenager
If you want to talk to your teen about a particularly touchy topic, Gross advises, try sitting down with him and watching a TV show or a video that hits on the subject. That way, the conversation will feel less personal; the lens will remain on the larger issue, not on your child per se.
Another tip: sometimes the best time to chat is in the car, on a hike, or before bed when the lights are out—all occasions when you’re not looking your kid right in the eye. “Avoiding eye contact can take some of the pressure off,” Gross notes.
Finally, don’t lose sight of the fact that communicating with your teen is a two-way street. Keep your ears—and your mind—open. “A healthy argument is a good time for you to really listen and consider what your kid is saying,” Darling counsels. “It may be a good time to reconsider some of your rules.”
Of course, there are still situations in which teenagers act out in ways that are not normal or healthy. As a parent, you must be alert to the red flags.
Experts agree, for instance, that if your child is arguing with you about absolutely everything—“You can’t force me to go to school,” “You have no right to tell me not to drink”—it’s a cause for concern.
“In families where teenagers are being oppositional just for the sake of being oppositional, there is usually something wrong,” Steinberg says. “There are usually deeper problems in the family’s relationships.”
The same is true if your adolescent is lying to you, abusing drugs, or withdrawing completely. “If they are having unsafe sex, if they are drinking too much, if they are in trouble, you need to step in and get them to stop,” Darling says. “That is your job as a parent.”
But remember, this kind of behavior is more often the exception. In most families, a certain amount of pushback from your teenager is to be expected—even embraced. “They are just becoming more independent and autonomous,” Darling says. “They are doing what they are supposed to do.”
Just don’t call it rebellion.

Gerald Flurry on Armstrong College
Author: Gerald R. Flurry
Here’s Gerald Flurry’s thoughts on Herbert W. Armstrong College from the 2013 Envoy:
Today, teachers tell students that history is simply the unfolding of inevitabilities, that no one person can change its irresistible tide. Many American universities don’t require students to take even a single class on history. This is one major reason why we are not developing leaders today: We are not bothering to learn from the great leaders of the past.
Students at Herbert W. Armstrong College, however, learn the value of understanding the past and the effect one person can have on others and even the whole world. We teach our students that they can change the course of history. In fact, life’s journey is a pursuit of that goal.
Gerald Flurry also wrote that:
Students at Herbert W. Armstrong College prove for themselves that the Bible is the infallible authority of God Himself.
What human beings can achieve with their minds is absolutely dazzling. God created us, and He endowed us with brilliant, highly capable minds. So surely He must have also provided some instruction in how to use them successfully.
Yes, He did—in His Word, the Holy Bible.
The Bible is the foundation of all knowledge. You can prove that for yourself. You don’t have to doubt that, and you need not be disturbed by anyone who says otherwise.
Students at Herbert W. Armstrong College prove for themselves that the Bible is the infallible authority of God Himself. The Bible isn’t speculation. It is God speaking to us! And when a person really begins to understand that, it brings security and wonder into his or her life.
This college is patterned after a college that Herbert W. Armstrong founded. Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong fell in love with the Bible. We teach our students to fall in love with the Bible. We have a vision—prophesied in Scripture—of the time when the whole world will fall in love with the Bible and with the Creator God who is revealing this awesome knowledge to us.
The college is now named after Herbert W. Armstrong. Gerald Flurry explains why:
Herbert W. Armstrong was one of the most prominent religious leaders of the 20th century. He was watched, read and followed by millions of people worldwide. At the time of his death in 1986, the newsmagazine he founded, the Plain Truth, was being produced in seven languages; global circulation peaked at 8.4 million. (By comparison, Time magazine’s circulation that year was 5.9 million.)
The name Herbert W. Armstrong College reminds us that there was a powerful work on Earth that God Himself established. It was a work that fulfilled Jesus Christ’s promise to send an individual who would “restore all things”—every foundational doctrine in preparation for His Second Coming, as John the Baptist did before His first coming (Matthew 17:11). …
The name of our college helps us remember what became of that work because people didn’t value it.

I know that smart people tend to think the same and that naming collisions happen once in a while, but is this just a mere coincidence or is there more to the story?
Here is a description of Google Wave as per Wikipedia:
Google Wave is “a personal communication and collaboration tool” announced by Google at the Google I/O conference, on 27 May 2009. It is a web based service and computing platform designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wiki, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time focus supported by robust spelling/grammar checking, automated translation between 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. It is expected to be released later in 2009.
And here is a description of Adobe Wave as per Adobe web site (no Wikipedia description yet):
Displaying a desktop notification is as easy as sending an email. Adobe® Wave™ is an Adobe AIR application and Adobe hosted service that work together to enable desktop notifications. It helps publishers stay connected to your customers and lets users avoid the email clutter of dozens of newsletters and social network update messages. Adobe Wave is a single web service call that lets publishers reach users directly on their desktop: there’s no need to make them download a custom application or build it yourself.
Of course, once you get into it things get more obvious, but can you really tell the difference between the two without reading more about each technology and watching preview videos?

How will humankind react after astronomers hand over rock-solid scientific evidence for the existence of life beyond the Earth? No more speculating. No more wondering. The moment scientists announce this discovery, everything will change. Not least of all, our philosophies and religions will need to incorporate the new information. Searching For Signs Of Life Astronomers have now identified thousands of planets in orbit around other stars. At the current rate of discovery, millions more will be found this century.

Training is a combination of machine demonstration, and hands on use, which takes about one hour. For training email George McMurdy [email].
- Whole wafers only
- Wafer top surface must reflect a laser beam, without too much scatter.
- Wafer/substrate material must be included in the Flexus software list of material data.
A laser scan technique is used to measure wafer surface curvature before, and after wafer processing. Two wavelengths (670 nm and 780 nm) are available to ensure adequate reflected signal from the wafer. The calculated change in curvature is then used to calculate the stress in the film. The wafer is scanned on a hot plate which can be programed for stress vs. temperature measurements.

The processes of transformation of urban spaces cannot be understood without taking into account the particular characteristics, conflicts, ways of life, cultural practices and the memories that have built and sustain them.
Over the years we have activated the ANTI-Modulor perspective in diverse territories, contexts and situations through:
Adapting our practices to the possibilities and desires that emerge in each place. Incorporating the ways of doing and being in the world that inhabit each of these territories. Becoming neighbours, that is, being an active and committed part of the communities that inhabit these places. Starting from the situations that make up their day to day to reconfigure them through play, following the ways by which children understand, explore and imagine the city.

Love them or hate them, some people just can’t bear the sight of clowns.
The painted smile, strange costume and even the big feet can put people of f, while some even have a real and recognised fear of the party entertainment icon.
Part of the reason behind why people are so scared of clowns may be their use in popular culture. Perhaps most famously, the Joker in the Batman series dons a painted clown face. Clowns have also fronted some of the best-grossing films ever made.
The 2017 move IT, starring Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise The Dancing Clown brought in a whopping £570 million worldwide and is sure to have raised the hair on the back of some viewer’s necks.
Pennywise became a notorious and iconic look after first appearing on-screen in 1990, inspiring countless copycat Halloween costumes.
Some consider him to be the scariest of them all, his sharp teeth top a Digital Trends list of the evilest red-headed monster around, but there are other clowns considered equally terrifying.
Tobe Hooper’s 1982 film Poltergeist features an attack by a clown doll widely considered one of the scariest horror movie scenes of all time and reminded audiences visiting a haunted house to check under the bed once in a while.
John Carroll Lynch’s portrayal of ‘Twisty’ on American Horror Story isn’t one for the faint-hearted, but scary clowns are not necessarily confined to our TV and cinema screens.
Perhaps the scariest clown of all was a real-life serial killer by the name of John Wayne Gacy.
The brutal rapist and murderer regularly performed for children, but was convicted of a shocking spree of crimes dating between 1972 and 1978.
Executed by lethal injection in 1994, his crimes included the murder of 33 people, with 29 of them found buried under his house.
The 2019 documentary ‘Wrinkles the Clown’, meanwhile, is based on a real-life man in Naples who is hired to scare kids back into line, or just prank them a little.
So common is the fear – estimates put the figure at around one in 10 people – that hoaxes are a quick way of alarming people online and causing unnecessary panic.
In 2016, a “killer clown” craze was eventually revealed to be far less of a problem than it actually was after people were reported to be dressing up as clowns with the intention of scaring members of the public.
‘Coulrophobia’ is the official name given to the fear of clowns and it isn’t just scary movies that appear to be the root cause.
Health experts Healthline say early traumatic experiences can cause a lifelong fear of the big-footed jokers and “our brain and body would be wired from that point on to flee any situation involving clowns”.
The fear is also so common that some may suffer from a ‘learned phobia’. That is people have learnt to have a specific fear “from a loved one or trusted authority figure”.
Nottingham Trent psychologist Professor Mark Griffiths told the Mail that “exaggerated features” are part of the reason behind people’s fears.
He said: “Clowns have exaggerated features, particularly the face, hair and feet — huge noses, scary mouths, huge elongated shoes, and wildfire hair which can also be scary to some people.”

Anti-Semitism has long been used by Zionists, Israelis, and Radical Jews, to deflect criticism from the horrific Nazi-like holocaust devastation and South African type apartheid policies of Israel on the Palestinians.
Norman Finklestein, a Jew, and a Nazi Holocaust survivor, tears apart this oh you’re being Anti Semitic argument used by Zionists and Israelis and their supporters in mainstream western media as happened with FM SQM.
Every Pakistani Prime Minister, senior government leaders, Foreign Minister, senior Foreign Office officials, all our Ambassadors should read this book to respond to this “you’re being Anti Semitic” googly they throw at us and whoever criticizes Israeli terror!
Here’s the link to the overview of the book on Wikipedia which I’ve appended below as well!
Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History is a book by Norman G. Finkelstein published by the University of California Press in August 2005.
Overview of the book
Finkelstein’s doctoral dissertation was to disassemble a book by Joan Peters, From Time Immemorial (1984), which claimed that Palestine had been largely empty in the early 20th century and that both Jewish and Arab ethnic groups were immigrants.
Finkelstein declared the book a fraud.
Two decades later, Finkelstein saw the record of the Israel-Palestine conflict as much less complex than previously. Finkelstein claims that the official Zionist “Exodus version,” that Arab radio broadcasts had instructed the Palestinians to flee, has been largely swept away.
He believes that proof of this became available in the 1960s but had little impact.
In the late 1980s, however, some studies, including some by Israelis, claimed to dispel much of what Finkelstein refers to as “the Zionist mythology” enveloping the origins of the conflict.
Some scholarly debate now focuses on much narrower questions such as whether what in Finkelstein’s view was “ethnic cleansing” was the intentional consequence of Zionist policy or the unintentional by-product of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.
The topic remains controversial, particularly in Israel, where mainstream historians continue to dispute the view of Israel’s 1948 war of independence presented by Finkelstein.
In this book, he analyses “The Not-So-New ‘New Anti-Semitism'” from published sources.
Finkelstein argues that the specter of the “new antisemitism” has been invented by supporters of Israel to brand any serious criticisms of Israel’s human rights abuses as anti-semitism.
The aim, Finkelstein contends, is to silence criticism of Israel’s policies and to provide a cover for that country’s expansionistic and illegal policies in the Palestinian territories.
I’m writing an article on this view, very soon. Insha Allah.

Vitrification of equine immature oocytes
Cryopreservation of immature equine oocytes offers great advantages for research purposes, for clinical application and for the conservation of genetics of valuable or endangered species. However, the success rate of this technique is low in the horse. We recently reported the birth of the first foal resulting from a vitrified immature oocyte which was matured in vitro, fertilized by ICSI, cultured up to the blastocyst stage and transferred to a recipient mare (Equine Veterinary Journal, doi: 10.1111/evj.12747). The study was performed to improve the vitrification protocol for immature equine oocytes. The results showed that (1) partial removal of the cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte, (2) a high concentration of cryoprotective agents and (3) a short exposure time to the cryoprotective agents may be the key factors for successful embryo development after vitrification.
About dr. Katrien Smits
Katrien Smits graduated as a veterinarian in 2006. She started a PhD at the department of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Herd Health of the Faculty of Veterinary medicine in Ghent on the in vitro production of equine embryos by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This resulted in the first ICSI-foal in the Benelux and Katrien defended her PhD in 2010. She is currently employed at Ghent University as a postdoctoral researcher of the Research Foundation Flanders to continue her work on assisted reproduction in the horse. Her research focuses on the embryo-maternal interaction during early pregnancy, ICSI, embryo culture, genetics and oocyte vitrification in the horse.

Pinterest is enforcing a new climate misinformation policy to combat any type of content that denies the existence or impact of climate change, or spreads false information about natural disasters or extreme weather events.
The company announced its decision on Wednesday as an extension of its community guidelines on misinformation and disinformation.
Pinterest, a virtual bulletin board where users seek inspiration on things like home decor, recipes and gardening, is now the first major online platform to impose a ban on climate change misinformation .
The platform notes a growing interest from its users in a more sustainable lifestyle, with searches for “zero waste lifestyle” increasing by 64% in the past year.
The new policy will remove content that denies human influence on climate change or promotes false information about climate change solutions. It will also remove posts that distort scientific data to encourage distrust of climate experts as well as content that spreads harmful information about public safety in an emergency.
Pinterest also prohibits ads that promote conspiracy theories, misinformation, and misinformation related to climate change.
The company worked with the Climate Disinformation Coalition and the Conscious Advertising Network to develop its policy based on common misinformation themes they notice across different media platforms.
“This bold move is an extension of our broader Misinformation Guidelines, which we first developed in 2017 to address public health misinformation, and which we have since updated to address emerging issues. and emerging as they come to the fore,” Sarah Bromma, Pinterest policy manager. , said in a statement. “The expanded climate misinformation policy is another step in Pinterest’s journey to combat misinformation and create a safe space online.”
In 2017, Pinterest rolled out a policy targeting health misinformation, like anti-vaccine content. They then banned political campaign ads in 2018 and weight loss ads in 2021.
The announcement comes a few days after the publication of a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change which warned that the world must impose drastic changes over the next three years to try to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
Last year, Google announced that it would no longer run advertisements denying the existence and causes of climate change. But social media platforms still need to step up their efforts to tackle climate change misinformation online. In November 2021, The Conscious Advertising Network wrote a open letter directed at Facebook, Instagram, Google, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest and Reddit, urging them to enforce policies against climate misinformation.
“Implement policies and enforcement of disinformation and climate disinformation that extend to content, algorithms and advertising, similar to the robust Covid-19 policies that have been released over the past 18 months,” the letter read.

For information only - not an official document
13 June 2013
Re-issued as received
Industry must have prominent role in post-2015 agenda, says UNIDO Director General Yumkella
NAIROBI/VIENNA, 13 June 2013 (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) - Manufacturing and productive activities have a crucial impact on job creation, sustainable livelihoods, food security and equitable growth - the key requirements for eradicating extreme poverty by 2030. This was the message delivered to participants at the 20th Conference of African Ministers of Industry (CAMI-20) by Kandeh K. Yumkella, the Director General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).
Industry must get a prominent role in the post-2015 development agenda, and feature in the Sustainable Development Goals, said Yumkella speaking today at the CAMI-20, taking place in the Kenyan capital under the theme, "Accelerating industrialization in Africa within the post-2015 development agenda".
"We need to ensure that industry gains prominence in the post-2015 agenda and in the Sustainable Development Goals. It is a great opportunity for Africa to ensure that its economic needs are recognized as a matter of global concern. In particular, there is a need to ensure that industrialization is stressed as the key strategy for Africa to achieve the growth rates, job creation and economic transformation needed to eradicate poverty and meet associated development goals in the long run," said Yumkella.
CAMI-20 was co-organized by the African Union Commission (AUC), the Government of Kenya and UNIDO.
Referring to the recent report by the UN high-level panel on the post-2015 development agenda, titled A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development, Yumkella said: "The main recommendations of the report underscore the crucial impact that manufacturing and productive capacities have on job creation, sustainable livelihoods, food security and equitable growth. These are all key requirements for eradicating extreme poverty by 2030."
After eight years as Director General of UNIDO, Yumkella's tenure will come to an end in June, and he will focus full-time on his role as the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for Sustainable Energy for All and CEO of the initiative.
"Over the years, with your support, UNIDO's profile as a trusted, efficient and effective partner for prosperity has been raised to a higher level," Yumkella told the conference participants. "UNIDO is now recognized as an agency with a highly relevant mandate, one that is focused on helping to achieve international development goals, and dedicated to building partnerships within the UN system and beyond."
During Yumkella's tenure at UNIDO, there has been a significant increase in the number of programmes delivered in Africa. Over 60 per cent of the Organization's projects are currently implemented on the continent.
With the support of the African Union stakeholders, and in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), UNIDO has developed the Accelerated Agribusiness and Agro-industries Development Initiative (3ADI) that focuses on value chains and promoting value addition.
UNIDO has also implemented a range of energy-related projects in Africa, including mini-hydro and solar energy. Other activities in this field include the promotion of industrial energy efficiency, with a focus on improving the productivity of enterprises through improved energy management systems and energy systems optimization, and methodologies in selected industrial enterprises.
Under Yumkella's leadership, UNIDO has helped African countries comply with multilateral agreements that deal with climate change issues, including the Montreal and Kyoto Protocols. In partnership with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UNIDO has developed the Green Industry Platform, which advocates for a more efficient use of energy, raw materials and water resources, and the safe usage of chemical manufacturing processes and services.
A number of UNIDO trade capacity building programmes have been developed and implemented at the regional level, such as the five-year East Africa and West Africa quality and standards infrastructure programmes, which have resulted in the establishment and upgrading of laboratories in selected countries, coupled with skills development in this area.
UNIDO has also been focusing on entrepreneurship development, investment promotion and industrial upgrading and modernization, and private sector development in Africa. A key continental programme, developed in collaboration with the African Union, is the AfrIPAnet, which has seen the implementation of the African investor survey and an investment monitoring platform, a crucial tool for investment decision-making.
UNIDO is closely involved in the AUC's Business Plan for the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa (PMPA), designed to improve access to affordable, safe and effective essential medicines by developing the industry, and supports the African Union Action Plan for the Accelerated Industrial Development (AIDA).

Welcome to Aquinas American School!
These first few years of AAS will always be memorable for the enthusiasm and dedication of all those involved. We are so proud of every milestone the children achieve.
With an emphasis on the fundamentals, we are forming sound educational principles and creatively shaping a small community for students, parents and teachers.
Our mission is to discover together the great heritage of knowledge and wisdom from our Western Civilization. Through reason and dedicated effort we are forming our students as the protagonists of their own future and cultivating in them an ability to think and learn; to respect those who came before us, and to employ the knowledge bequeathed to us.
The many facets of an AAS education – science, history, literature from all ages, sport and the arts – serves to give a well-rounded intellectual and personal formation to our students. In pursuing the development of sensibility and growth in virtue the students will find their lives permanently enriched.
That is the great task of education which we humbly propose at AAS, and that is the task in which we invite you to collaborate.

I’ve been fishing since I was a little girl so I learned how to gut and clean a fish at a very young age. I learned how to bait a hook and catch a fish before I learned how to ride a bike. Fishing for food to feed our family was a way of life for us growing up. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was learning some great self-sufficiency skills that would stay with me throughout my life. Now that I’m a mama, I feel honored to pass these skills on to Little A.
One of our favorite places to go fishing with Little A is a mountain lake about half an hour from home. We take our canoe and fish the lake for a while and then have dinner cooked over the campfire as the sun sets. This week’s trip up to this lake was our way to celebrate our anniversary. I had to laugh thinking about how most people would go out to eat at a fancy restaurant to celebrate an anniversary. Instead we prefer a simple meal cooked over the campfire in the mountains! (Here’s our post on how to cook on an open fire if you missed it!) We always catch fish when we visit this beautiful place. This week we harvested four nice sized cutbows (a cross between a rainbow trout and a cutthroat trout).
When catching trout, we don’t fillet them. Instead we gut and clean them to prepare them for cooking. Usually I prefer to gut a fish out in the wilds where it is caught. That way the innards can be left behind for another animal to feast on. Sometimes, like this week, the sun set so early that it got dark before we had time to clean the fish. Instead we put the fish on ice in our cooler and brought them home to gut and clean them. The good thing about gutting the fish at home is we can bury the fish innards in the dirt in our garden since it is an amazing natural fertilizer!
4 Steps to Gut and Clean a Fish
Before getting started with gutting your fish, find a flat surface. If you’re in the house this is easy since you can just use the counter top and cover it with newspaper or use a cutting board. When outside, look for a large flat rock or bank of the waterway that is relatively flat.
Step 1. We don’t keep the head on our fish when cooking them, that is just how I grew up eating wild fish. If you want to keep the head on, skip this step. Find the pectoral fin which is just on the back side of the head behind the gill. Place a sharp knife just behind the fin and cut straight down to cut the head clean off the fish.
Step 2. Find the little hole on the back underside of the fish where the poop comes out. Insert the tip of a sharp knife in this hole and slowly slice forward on the underbelly of the fish clean through the end where you cut the head off. (You can’t miss the fact that my husband is using a bright pink knife to gut and clean these fish- what a guy! This knife works amazing. If you want one for yourself, you can find them here)
Step 3. Remove the innards. Use the sharp tip of your knife to scrape the innards out of the crevice in the spine of the fish. Sometimes this will wash out under running water or if near a natural water source swish the fish in the water a few times.
Step 4. When cleaning a trout, there typically aren’t a lot of big scales that need to be scraped off. There is a natural protective film on the outer part of trout that I always refer to as fish slime. This is what makes fish so slippery and hard to pick up! Rub the outside of the fish while rinsing in water to remove the slime. Cut off any remaining fins.
Now your fish is ready to be grilled, baked, or fried in your favorite recipe! You can also freeze your fish to preserve it for a future meal. Growing up we always just put our fish in a plastic zip bag and put it in the freezer. My husband said he remembers cutting open a milk carton, putting the fish inside and filling with water to freeze. We actually didn’t do either of these! Now that we have this amazing new gamesaver vacuum sealer (you can find them here) we vacuum sealed two of our trout and put them in the freezer for a future meal. The other two we’re cooking up for dinner (recipe coming soon!)
Do you have any tips to share on gutting and cleaning a fish?

Positioning vs. Messaging
How do you tell an original story? There is usually a real-life event behind every fantastical tale. If you work in marketing, you know that for your work to ring true it must be grounded in the unique truth of your company’s product or service. This value should be the basis of every great story that you tell.
To bring value to your marketing story, you need to understand two important terms — positioning and messaging.
Let’s start with positioning. This is an internally-focused concept that often leads to the creation of a positioning document. The document should help you articulate to the team the unique benefit of your product or service and why your solution is better than what your competitors have to offer.
Messaging, on the other hand, is the foundation for what you consistently say about the product or service externally. It usually consists of a few statements that communicate and reinforce the positioning to customers. And no, this is not a pithy brand tagline like “Got milk?” or “Just do it.” Rather, messaging captures the key points that you plan on conveying about your product or service — the most pertinent information and what you want customers to remember.
It is easy to see how the two connect — positioning helps shape the messaging. Positioning should stay consistent over time while messaging is what you are saying right now. But there are more meaningful differences in terms of why and how you use each one.
Here are those core differences between positioning and messaging:
Why is it written?
Positioning is a strategic exercise. It defines where your product or service fits in the marketplace and how you want it to be known long-term. It also defines your key customer segments and buyer persona. The goal is to understand how you can best communicate the value of your offering to your audience — based on who they are, what they need, and what they can (or cannot) get from the competition. But it does not dictate the exact words that are used in marketing or customer communications.
Messaging focuses on the main points that you want your audience to know about your offering, including its value and major selling points. Messaging is the expression of the positioning — where it comes to life. It is where those fundamental concepts of value are distilled into concise statements.
Who is the audience?
Positioning is written for internal teams. It is meant to serve as a guide for all of your marketing activities — including the features you highlight, how your product or service will be priced compared to the competition, and of course, the messages you craft.
Messaging is written with an external audience in mind — your target market. This is not just the end user for your product or service, but also the decision makers with purchasing authority. For example, if your product is a B2B subscription software, you will want to consider messages that resonate with those who handle the billing or vetting products for security.
When is it written?
The positioning will be written before the messaging. This work is often done by a product marketing team before the launch of a new product or service. By writing the positioning first, the team can lay a strong foundation for all of the activities supporting the launch — so that everyone clearly understands how the new offering fits into the market and the core benefits it will provide to customers. It should serve your business goals and it will provide a litmus test to ensure your messaging is on target.
Once that is defined, you can then craft the messaging. Depending on the size of the organization, a brand team might do this work for a specific program or campaign for example. But regardless, it should be shared with broader teams to guide the development of words and visuals. This includes website copy, advertising campaigns, social media posts, and press releases.
How do you put it together?
Positioning can be put together using a simple formula like this: For [target customer] who [what they need], the [product/service] is a [category/type] that [key benefit]. Unlike [primary competitive alternative], our product [primary differentiation].
Example: For cycling enthusiasts who would like to connect with other exercise enthusiasts, Fredwin Cycling Software is a cycling application that makes it possible to engage directly with other cyclists. Unlike XYZ Cycling Software, our product promotes social interaction and healthy competition among friends.
To craft your messaging, first consider the core messages you want to share, as defined by your positioning. With this in mind, quickly draft as many messages as come to mind. Then, distill the list down to three to five statements that best tell your story and convey the truth of your offering. For example, for a new Fredwin Cycling Software campaign, the key messaging might start by describing that it is “the new way cyclists race best and connect with their friends.”
All of your marketing messages should be rooted in the truth of your product or service — the story of how it helps customers be better.
Positioning and messaging are how you describe the value you deliver. Positioning is the background to organize the team — the real-life reason you are telling your story in the first place — and messaging is the actual content served to customers. Both are used by marketers to be their best.
What do you think is important to telling compelling brand stories?
Marketers really, really love our software — find out why.

TUESDAY FEnmiATlY 12, 1SSI
THE BILL Jilt. GEORGE INTRODUCED
The Astoriax, in referring to the
bill introduced by Mr. George to de
clare forfeited the laud grant between
Forest Grove and Astoria, and pro
viding that all moneys received for
the sale of those lands within the
next ten years shall be paid to any
person or company first building a
standard gauge railroad between
those two points, says: "As to the
bill that he introduced, it would, if
passed, constitute a richer grant than
the one which congress proposes to
forfeit, and wilL"
It may be a richer grant, and there
fore something of an inducement to a
company to build the road. It will
not be in the shape of franchise to
some particular company or to any
company to hold so as to prevent the
company that may first build.
If it is not desirable to have any
government aid, or, if no road is
wanted, then we are content to have
the land grant forfeited uncondition
ally. If the products of the valley
cannot be taken down the Columbia
river to the sea, they can be sent by
Puget Sound or via Yaquina. "We
should he quite unwilling to force a
road to Astoria, if it is not wanted by
our friends down by the sounding
sea. Salem Statesman,, 7.
It is desirable to have govern
ment aid; the road is wanted; the
products of the valley can be taken
down the Columbia river to the sea,
and no Astorian will manifest any
unwillingness to accept aid in the
matter of a railroad, from any
quarter however unexpected. Prob
ably the best rebuttal to the re
marks of our capital contemporary
would be to cite the vote in the
house on the 21st of January as an
exemplification of just how much
Mr. George is in favor of land graut
It is amusing to notice that there
are several of our friends just now
very much interested in Astoria's
welfare that never were befora They
are the most numerous around the
railroad company's office in Portland,
however. These friends of ours are
shouting as of one accord, "What
fools those Astoria people are that
they should want the land grant for
feited. They will never get a rail
road if the grant is taken away. If
we can not build a railroad nobody
It may be that our friend of the
Statesman has been listening to
some of this. The people that have
been holding the Astoria grant do
not want to build any railroad to
Astoria. They are opposed to it be
cause the development of the coal
fields along the line wbuld, they
think, interfere with their Seattle
ooal trade. They are opposed to it
because the road would, they think
greatly reduce their profits in tow
ing and lightering between Astoria
and Portland. They are op
posed to it because of their interests
in from 10,000 to 15,000 acres of real
estate adjoining and in NewTacoma
and Portland. If they had been half
inclined to build the road they could
have done so long ago on the pro
ceeds of the mortgage bonds or on
the land grant itself.
These people are now holding the
grant for the sole purpose of keeping
others from building the road. Thev
publicly abandoned the building of
the road last fall. When ex-Senator
Mitchell appeared before the public
lands committee in opposition to the
forfeiture he was forced to admit
that ho did not know that the rail
road would ever be built if the grant
was not forfeited.
The people of Astoria and Clatsop
county have therefore petitioned con
gress for the forfeiture of the land
Petitions numerously signed have
gone forward. The chamber of com
merce of Astoria also forwarded a
memorial to congress asking for the
forfeiture. The same body also drew
up a bill providing for the forfeiture,
which was adopted after being read
at a meeting of the chamber. This
proposed bill was drawn up by Hon.
O. W Fulton and Hon. F. J. Taylor.
A copy was sent to Hon. M. C.
George and Hon. Jas. H Slater and
Hon. J. N. Dolph These gentlemen
were asked to introduce the same in
congress. Mr. George did not intro
duce the bill as aent to him. This
we think was an act of discourtesy,
no matter what his own opinion
might be as to what legislation was
But the amendments added by Mr.
George were objectionable, inasmuch
as they would have certainly killed
the bill if he had succeeded in getting
them adopted by the committee. The
people of Astoria know perfectly well
that it has been useless to try to get
any continuation of the subsidy or
change of subsidy, and any such
amendments mean defeat This
amendment business is a favorite
plan of the railroad combinations to
defeat any legislation in the interests
of the people. The amendments pro
posed always have ear-marks, how
ever, by which ownership is easily
A good many will watch closely
the fate of the forfeiture bill in the
senate as well as in the house, and
note what amendments are added
and who proposed them, and what
-was said for and against us, and by
whom, and, doubtless, all action,
whether fa7orable or adverse, will be
accompanied by subsequent and elab
Ik Villard's collapse the Union

OUR MAIL SERVICE.
The Oregonian copies and endorses
our remarks concerning the present
inefficiency of the river mail service.
It seems to us that the only adequate
remedy is to make proper represents
tion to the postal authorities at Wash
ington. We shall lay the matter be
fore the chamber of commerce at its
next meeting, and expect to get the
Portland board of trade to indorse
the move. The annoyance is too
great to be longer borne. . The mali
cious insinuation of a party who has
temporary access to type, that what
we have said on this subject was in
the interest of the O. B. & N. Co.,
needs but passing allusion to illus
trate how characteristic it is of the
case of arrested development which
utters the snarl. Ignorance is ex
cusable, bnt ignorance combined with
impudence is insufferable.
Axt one knows that $16,000 is none
too much to carry a mail six times a
week between here and Portland and
make decent time between the two
cities. We are in hopes that when
U. B. Scott gets his new boat finished
he can be of some assistance in solv
ing this problem. Talking with him
one day last July about the feasibility
of a fast mail service between here
and Portland he said that unless in
creased pay could be secured the
thing was impossible.
"Why,' said Scott in his earnest
way, "a boat that carries freight and
makes landings can't make good
mail time. It isn't in the nature of
things. Something has got to be
neglected. I couldn't carry the mail
at the price the O. R. & N. steamers
carry it and make anything. Pd be
out of pocket every month I had the
contract." And he was right.
The fact is that the Washington
officials have a very erroneous im
pression concerning the needs of this
country. We are growing faster than
they realize. When Postmaster
Chance sent to headquarters last sum
mer for what he wanted, they sent
him just half of what he ordered
and a lecture on the irregularity
of ordering more than his office
required. The result was that Astor
ians were out of postage stamps and
stamped envelopes for several weeks
in the busiest season of the year.
That clerk knows better now, and has
found out that the Astoria postmaster
knows a little more about what the
Astoria postoffice needs than he does.
A little more light would do consider
able good. Proper representation will
result, we hope, in giving us better mail
service. If the clause in the next
mail contract for carrying the mail
between here and Portland can be
made to read that the time shall be,
say eight hours, it will cost "Uncle
Sam a good many dollars more, but
it is our right and we should have it
A MAN OF DETAILS.
The complaint that Villard waa too
big a man to understand the details
of railroad management and that he
really never knew anything of Ore
gon and Transcontinental, outside of
making mortgages, brings to mind
the case of an Ohio road, says the
Wall Street News. It had president
after president, and each one cocked
his foot on the office desk and let her
rip. She had "ripped" until the
directors finally got together and de
cided that the right man must be
found pretty soon or the road must
go to the walL They were consult

the train dispatcher booted the con

This year, K2 launched our GoGreen campaign! With offices all over the world upping their efforts to support the environment, we can make a real contribution to our planet’s wellbeing.
Earlier this year, K2 Boston installed a ‘Bevi’ machine for the office. The team can enjoy chilled still and sparkling water, with a wide choice of flavors all without using a single plastic bottle. One of the Bevi’s great perks is that it displays how many plastic bottles have been saved each time the machine is used. This figure clearly demonstrates the positive environmental impact of installing the Bevi – in the first two weeks of January 2020 alone the Boston office avoided using a staggering 2,548 bottles!
Our Frankfurt office has sealed the deal for a brand new BRITA water system. By investing in this feature, the team has significantly reduced its carbon footprint. Before, the office drank its way through crates of plastic and glass bottles. With the installation of the BRITA water system, the team can now enjoy filtered water with minimal environmental impact. K2 Frankfurt is now one step closer to their goal of being completely plastic-free by the end of 2020!
K2 Madrid has implemented the initial steps to moving to electricity from 100% renewable sources. For the past few months, the office has been working with a supplier, Gesternova, with the aim of consuming purely green electricity. They’ve also reduced plastic use by providing a water fountain, as well as introducing biodegradable glasses and cutlery at events.
Our offices in Asia have employed paperless and plastic-free meetings. Dedication to ensuring that each gathering in this region’s offices does not use plastic or paper offers a small but important contribution to ensuring that K2 reduces our environmental impact.
Several K2 offices have more ideas about how to increase sustainability. Each shall continue to promote awareness and advice on how employees can make a difference to environmental issues, both in and out of work.

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial used to treat a various bacterial infection as well as to slow down the growth of these infections in the body. Effective antibiotic drugs are prerequisites for both preventive and curative measures, protecting patients from potentially fatal diseases and ensuring that complex procedures, such as surgery and chemotherapy. Disorganised misuse and overuse of these drugs in human medicine and food production have put every nation at risk. Alert to this crisis, the May 2015 World Health Assembly adopted a global action plan on antimicrobial resistance, which outlines five objectives, including optimize the use of antimicrobial medicines in human and animal health and to increase investment in new medicines, diagnostic tools etc.
The global market for antibiotics is witnessing significant growth due to cheap cost and novel approaches for new antibiotics for treating bacterial infections and a large number of clinical trials. So far in 2018, the FDA has licensed new antibiotics, including Arikayce (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), the first drug to receive approval under the new Limited Population Pathway for Antibacterial and Antifungal Drugs (LPAD), a part of the 21st Century Cures Act. Other notable recent approvals include Paratek’s Nuzyra (omadacycline), Tetraphase’s Xerava (eravacycline), Achaogen’s Zemdri (plazomicin), and Melinta’s Vabomere (meropenem/vaborbactam) and Baxdela (delafloxacin). Additionally, increase in incidence of infectious diseases such as pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria are the other factors propelling the market. Furthermore, the generic industries play a major role in the cost reduction of pharmaceutical drugs, which increase the overall higher availability and consumption, worldwide. Most of the prescription drugs that are sold are generics. Some major generic players are Teva, Mylan, Novartis, and Cipla, among others. However, the uncertain regulatory policies are likely to hamper the growth of this vertical impacting market growth significantly. For instance, the U.S. FDA revised the guidance for registration trials for drugs used in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.
The report analyses the global antibiotic market based on class, drug origin, spectrum of activity, application, route of administration and geography.
Based on class, the market is classified into beta lactam & beta lactamase inhibitors, quinolones, macrolides, and others. Beta lactam & beta lactamase inhibitors segment is further divided into penicillin, cephalosporin, carbapenem, and monobactam. Penicillin antibacterial drugs were the first drugs of this type that doctors used to treat bacterial infection. Since then, the discovery and manufacture of penicillin have changed the face of medicine, as these drugs have saved millions of lives. This is attributed to its broad-spectrum activity, which heals infections caused due to multiple groups of bacteria. Currently, beta lactams and beta lactamase inhibitors, is poised to experience the highest growth during the forecast period. The high efficacy to treat multiple infections caused due to multiple groups of bacteria and high use of these antibiotic drug to treat therapies for gram negative infections is contributing to the growth of the segment.
Based on the spectrum of activity, the market is bifurcated into broad-spectrum antibiotic and narrow-spectrum antibiotic. The broad-spectrum antibiotic segment held the significant share of the market owing to the fact that broad-spectrum antibiotics act against a wide range of diseases, which in turn helps to battle antimicrobial resistance effectively.
Based on drug origin, the market is bifurcated into natural, semi synthetic and synthetic drug origin. Antibiotics drugs can either occur naturally or can be synthetically produced. Very common today are semi-synthetic modifications of natural compounds. These chemical, biosynthetic antibacterial compounds are classified according to their biological effect on microorganisms. These biosynthetic antibacterial drugs kill bacteria altogether or slow down or stall bacterial growth. One specific semisynthetic antibiotic is Erythromycin.
Antibiotic finds application in human and animal. Antibiotics work against bacteria, regardless of whether the body that bacteria is affecting is a human or an animal. Antibiotics are better for humans, and some are better for animals. On a global scale, the U.S. and China are the largest users of antibiotics for food production. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 80 percent of the total antibiotic use in the U.S. is in agriculture, with pigs and poultry receiving five to 10 times more antibiotics than cows and sheep. Additionally, antibiotics are sometimes used to make the animals grow faster. In humans, the side effects of antibiotics such as the risk of weight gain and obesity, has been seen as a positive in animal, with several countries still using antibiotics as growth promoters for animals.
By route of administration, the market is classified into oral, intravenous and others. Generally, oral therapy is used when it is well tolerated and provide an adequate therapeutic effect. Whereas, the intravenous route being reserved usually for patients who have difficulty taking oral medications or when it is desired to provide prompter or greater antimicrobial activity as intravenous antibiotics are administered in higher concentrations, they reach in the tissues faster as compared to oral antibiotics. Rising incidence of severe infections is contributing to the growth of the intravenous segment.
By geography, the global antibiotic market is analysed across key regions such as, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of the world. Asia-Pacific has observed a trend of increasing antibiotic utilization in countries such as China and India, having enhanced patient populace where there is a nonstop demand sought after for generic antibiotic. Furthermore, rising awareness regarding the advantages of antibiotics is also likely to drive the market. In North America, number of new drug launches in the market is supplementing the growth of the regional market. The U.S. will be a key revenue contributor in the region during the forecast period as guidelines, such as those defined by IDSA for the treatment of CDI, are promoting the use of novel therapies.
Some of the key players in the market are Abbott laboratories, GlaxoSmithKline Plc, Johnson & Johnson Inc, Merck & Co. Inc, Pfizer Inc., Bayer Healthcare AG, Novartis AG, Sanofi SA, and Roche Holding AG among others. Big pharmaceutical companies are acquiring smaller players with novel antibiotics. For instance, Pfizer acquired Astra Zeneca’s marketed drugs, Zavicefta and Zinforo, and late stage antibiotics, ATM-AVI, resulting in an expanded portfolio of antibiotics. The trend is expected to shape the future of the market.
Antibiotic is a medication used to either inhibit or prevent bacterial infections referred as bacteriostatic and bactericidal antibiotics, respectively. Different types of antibiotics drugs are available in pharmacies and hospitals that are used to treat infectious diseases. The antibiotics market is expected to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period, due to increase in demand for new generation antibiotics that can resolve the issue of antimicrobial resistance. Based on class, the market is classified into beta lactam & beta lactamase inhibitors, quinolones, macrolides, and others. The significant growth of the Beta lactams and beta lactamase inhibitors is attributed to the due to upsurge in demand for broad-spectrum, bactericidal activity. Based on the spectrum of activity, the antibiotic market is bifurcated into broad-spectrum antibiotic and narrow-spectrum antibiotic. Further, by route of administration, the market is classified into oral, intravenous, and others. The market finds application in human and animal. Geographically, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period attributable to increasing antibiotic utilization and easy availability of antibiotic drugs.

D.C. Councilman Marion Barry wants to encourage home ownership in majority black Ward 8, where only 24 percent of residents are homeowners. How? By banning construction of new apartment buildings. He tells Washington City Paper‘s Lydia DePillis:
“The American dream is to own a home. And black people have not gotten the American dream as much as they need to,” Barry says. “Somebody can rent for 20 years, and has no equity in their unit at all.”
Renters are the most vulnerable to forces of redevelopment and gentrification, since they can’t really profit from leaving a neighborhood with exploding housing prices the way a homeowner can. But owning a home, and having equity tied to it, doesn’t necessarily buffer one from poverty, either. As noted yesterday, one of the contributing factors to the decline of the black middle class is the fact that African Americans generally had more of their wealth tied up in housing than white people did at the start of the recession — 63 percent versus 38.5 percent. Declining housing prices and foreclosures meant the loss of a lot of black wealth — between 2004 and 2009, the median net worth for black households dropped by 83 percent. For white households, it dropped by 24 percent.
On the other hand, the value of homes in D.C. as a whole hasn’t dropped at drastic levels since the peak of the bubble. Only a few portions of Ward 8 saw home values decline at higher rates than the national metro area average.
There’s just no way that zoning policy in Ward 8 of Washington, DC could possibly influence black people’s ability to own homes. Banning apartment buildings will reduce the supply of affordable housing and reduce construction jobs. That’s it.

Ninety-nine-year-old Prince Philip died on April 9, marking the end of a long life of service and dedication, as well as a great personal loss for the Queen, who described him as her “strength and stay”.
The Express’ recent article entitled “Prince Philip inheritance: Who will inherit what from the Duke of Edinburgh?” reports that, not surprisingly, the Duke leaves a substantial fortune. While no one knows the exact figure, some estimates have quoted figures as high as $15 to $40 million.
The prince accumulated his wealth from his career in the navy, as well as working in the family. However, most of his fortune was comprised of property and valuable items. He also had portfolios of stocks and properties, along with a valuable art and rare books collection.
Many of these assets were shared with the Queen, and she will keep hold of them now. However, some have been passed on to family members, according to royal sources.
For example, his beloved fell ponies and dark green carriage will be given to his 17-year-old granddaughter, Lady Louise, who shared her grandfather’s love of sport carriage driving. Prince Phillip was seen proudly watching her participate in a carriage driving competition at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 2019, during which she came in third.
Lady Louise is the daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex. Horses aren’t the only thing they’ll inherit. Prince Edward, the Queen and Philip’s youngest son, will also inherit the Duke of Edinburgh’s title, once the Queen passes away.
Under plans first announced in 1999, Edward will succeed his father in the Dukedom with the blessing of Prince Philip and the Queen. When Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones married in 1999, they were given the titles the Earl and Countess of Wessex. However, the Queen said that Edward would eventually one day succeed his father as the Duke of Edinburgh.
Edward has already followed in his father’s footsteps, by assuming many of his patronages. He is a trustee of the prestigious Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, patron of the Edinburgh International Festival and has already taken on patronages reflecting Prince Philip’s loves of seafaring and sport.
However, for the most part, everything else in Prince Philip’s estate will go to the Queen. As a result, there will be no inheritance tax paid under the law that allows spousal inheritance tax-free.

Oil, Gas Investments Must Rise to $523 Billion a Year, Says IEFDec 08, 2021 by Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) -- The Riyadh-based International Energy Forum has called on companies to raise investment in oil and natural-gas production to $523 billion a year by the end of this decade to prevent a surge in energy prices and economic unrest.
The think tank’s comments echo those of Saudi Aramco, whose chief executive officer on Monday said there could be “chaos” unless governments stopped discouraging investment in fossil fuels.
The IEF said spending on oil and gas projects slumped 30% to $309 billion in 2020 and had only recovered slightly this year. It needs to reach $4.7 trillion over this decade as a whole to meet demand, according to the organization’s forecasts.
“The next two years are critical for sanctioning and allocating capital toward new projects to ensure adequate oil and gas supply comes online within the next five or six years,” the IEF said in a report. “Insufficient upstream investment would result in more price volatility and spur adverse economic consequences.”
That’s at odds with what most climate activists and some major energy bodies say is necessary to slow the warming of the planet. The International Energy Agency, which advises rich countries, has called for the cessation of new investment in fossil fuels if the world is to neutralize carbon emissions by 2050.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and companies such as TotalEnergies SE have said it will be years, if not decades, before renewable forms of energy can fully replace oil and gas.
They have said oil’s surge this year to more than $70 a barrel could continue without more money being put toward fossil fuels.
“Publicly admitting that oil and gas will play an essential and significant role, during the transition and beyond, will be hard for some,” Aramco’s CEO, Amin Nasser, said at the World Petroleum Congress in Houston. “But admitting this reality will be far easier than dealing with energy insecurity, rampant inflation, and social unrest if prices become intolerably high.”

You may have heard of the It Gets Better campaign. Since September, there’ve been at least 8 suicides by young people who were, or were identified as, lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgendered, and were bullied about it. Now those who survived the tough teenage years, including Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns, are creating You Tube videos to tell heartbreaking stories of mistreatment, alienation and bullying they endured, how they coped, and how happy they are today that they’re here. The point is to urge young people in crisis that life does get better after high school.
Members of the Turtle Creek Chorale have created this contribution. They share their stories, and excerpts of their recent Concert for Peace in this video.

We studied the behaviour in interphase and mitotic human cells of a 125 kDa (pI 6.5) antigen, associated with the nuclear matrix and detected in proliferating cells. Indirect immunofluorescence with a specific monoclonal antibody reveals that during interphase in WISH and Namalwa cells, as well as phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes, the antigen displays a speckled distribution in the nucleoplasm of all cells. At early prophase the fluorescence intensity of the coalesced speckles increases markedly. During metaphase and anaphase the antigen gives maximal fluorescence distributed diffusely in the nucleoplasm, while chromosomes remain negative. At anaphase and cytokinesis the antigen is still cytoplasmic, but fluorescence intensity decreases. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting reveal that the p125/6.5 antigen displays a net increase in isolated mitotic cells as compared to interphase cells. These results suggest that the p125/6.5 protein participates in late G2 phase and G2/M transition events preparing the cell for mitosis.

The exhibition Letter from the Unknown by artist Angela Valella examines what might be referred to as arcane or archaic modes of communication and technologies. It comprises a collection of first found written literary work and drawings by a writer whose work was never published together with the artist sculptures, installation, collages and video.
Letter from Unknown (Woman) is a 1922 novel by Stephan Sweig that was the basis of the 1948 movie by the same name. This exhibition explores the encounter between written text and the digital age-of forms of that represent a material desire for the past and our present means of communication.

Accessing Cryptosporidium Omic and Isolate Data via CryptoDB.org
Cryptosporidium has historically been a difficult organism to work with, and molecular genomic data for this important pathogen have typically lagged behind other prominent protist pathogens. CryptoDB ( http://cryptodb.org/ ) was launched in 2004 following the appearance of draft genome sequences for both C. parvum and C. hominis. CryptoDB merged with the EuPathDB Bioinformatics Resource Center family of databases ( https://eupathdb.org ) and has been maintained and updated regularly since its establishment. These resources are freely available, are web-based, and permit users to analyze their own sequence data in the context of reference genome sequences in our user workspaces. Advances in technology have greatly facilitated Cryptosporidium research in the last several years greatly enhancing and extending the data and types of data available for this genus. Currently, 13 genome sequences are available for 9 species of Cryptosporidium as well as the distantly related Gregarina niphandrodes and two free-living alveolate outgroups of the Apicomplexa, Chromera velia and Vitrella brassicaformis. Recent years have seen several new genome sequences for both existing and new Cryptosporidium species as well as transcriptomics, proteomics, SNP, and isolate population surveys. This chapter introduces the extensive data mining and visualization capabilities of the EuPathDB software platform and introduces the data types and tools that are currently available for Cryptosporidium. Key features are demonstrated with Cryptosporidium-relevant examples and explanations.

U.S. stocks ended flat on Friday, after indices at times struggled to head amid a sharp drop in blue chip Nike Inc., but benchmarks posted gains for the week to following two solid sessions for the wider stock market.
How Do Stock Indices Trade?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA,
increased 33.18 points, or 0.1%, to 34,798.
The S&P 500 SPX,
up 6.5 points, or nearly 0.2%, to 4,455.48
The Nasdaq COMP Composite Index,
slipped 4.54 points, or less than 0.1%, to 15,047.70.
On Thursday, the Dow Jones rose 507 points, or 1.48%, to 34,765, its biggest two-day point and percentage gain since March 8, 2021, according to Dow Jones data. The S&P 500 rose 53 points, or 1.21%, to 4,449, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 155 points, or 1.04%, to 15,052.
For the week, the Dow Jones rose 0.6% while the S&P 500 was up 0.5% and the Nasdaq gained less than 0.1%, according to FactSet data.
What drove the market?
U.S. stock indexes swung between gains and losses in mixed trading on Friday, threatening to end the recovery after the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting this week, as the market fell back under pressure amid concerns over China , COVID-19 and US politics.
Shares have been weighed down by a long list of concerns ranging from disruptions in the global supply chain during the pandemic to the impending deadline of the federal debt ceiling in the United States and to the debt problems of real estate giant China. Evergrande Group, according to Matt Peron, research director at Janus Henderson. He said in a telephone interview on Friday that “the market has been a bit under pressure in recent weeks”, calling the consolidation “healthy” after its strong advance.
Investors were worried on Friday about Evergrande’s ability to meet its obligations, as well as the âhuge leverage effectâ of the Chinese real estate sector, but the potential for damage beyond its borders would likely be âvery limitedâ Alonso Garza, an investment specialist at JP Morgan Private Bank in Miami, said in a telephone interview on Friday. âIt wouldn’t be a disaster for the financial system outside of China,â Garza said, as other countries appear to have âvery little exposureâ to Chinese real estate.
The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index was under pressure as Treasury yields began to climb steadily following the Fed’s policy statement on Wednesday, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury rate at about 1.46% Friday. Rising returns affect the discount rate used for stock valuations, and technology stocks are particularly sensitive to higher returns because of the rapid earnings growth assumptions built into their valuations.
The Fed meeting revealed that central bankers were forecasting a possible rate hike in 2022, signaling that they were ready “to get into this inflation situation and make sure it is contained,” Garza said. at MarketWatch. While Garza believes the rise in inflation is transient, with JPMorgan anticipating a first rate hike in early 2023, he said it was good to see the Fed “ready to act if need be.”
âYou can nibble on market valuations a bit, but runaway inflation could destroy everything,â Garza said.
China’s crackdown on bitcoin on Friday also hurt some tech stocks. Coinbase COIN crypto-exchange,
fell, as did the Robinhood HOOD retail platform,
which in the last quarter made more than half of its transaction-related income through crypto.
âThe stock markets continue to reflect a tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears, with markets heading for a mixed week,â wrote Mark Hackett, head of investment research at Nationwide.
Friday’s lackluster action comes after two strong days of gains for Wall Street stocks following the Fed policy meeting on Wednesday. The discussion of the Fed cutting its bond purchases has been an âoverhangâ for the market, Peron said, as investors waited for a possible announcement this year.
Indeed, Cleveland Federal Reserve Chairman Loretta Mester said on Friday that she supported the start of the reduction in monthly purchases of Treasury bills and mortgage-backed securities by the Fed from November, with a view to ending it in mid-2022. Mester is not currently a voting member. Federal Open Market Committee, but it will be next year.
Investors also continue to watch for the latest news on China’s Evergrande, a real estate developer that helped spark a rout on Monday, amid fears of global contagion from the leveraged company. As of Thursday, bondholders still had not received money from Evergrande 3333,
who was due to make an interest payment of $ 83.5 million on dollar bonds, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The company has a 30-day grace period to make a payment, but otherwise Evergrande could trigger a default. Those stocks fell 12% in Hong Kong on Friday. Elsewhere, media reported on Friday that the company’s electric vehicle unit had not paid suppliers for months, with employees also not receiving any wages for September.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday pledged not to let public funding expire next week, allaying some investor concerns that the policy could lead to a partial government shutdown and default in the government. American debt which could disrupt the markets.
Separately, President Joe Biden urged those eligible to âgo for the recall,â in a speech Friday, following an unusual move by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which rescinded the recommendation to ” a group of advisers that booster doses of a COVID-19 vaccine be offered only to people over 65 and those with weakened immune systems, advocating that it also be offered to frontline workers, including nurses, teachers and supermarket staff.
On the data front, new home sales in the United States rose 1.5% to an annual rate of 740,000, the government said on Friday. The figure is the number of homes that would be sold over a one-year period if the same number were purchased each month based on the sales rate in July. Compared to a year ago, sales are down 24%. The median forecast of economists polled by MarketWatch was that new home sales would hit an annual rate of 720,000 for the month of August.
Which companies were the center of attention?
Actions of Nike Inc.
fell about 6.3% after the sportswear maker reported quarterly sales lower than Wall Street expectations, and said wages and overheads weighed on revenues.
Costco Wholesale Corp.
Shares rose 3.3% as the retailer topped $ 60 billion in single-quarter net sales for the first time, hit $ 5 billion in annual profits, and grew at its fastest pace in over 20 years.
Actions of Carnival Corp. CCL rose about 3% after the cruise line provided an update on its third quarter.
Deutsche Bank analyst Michael Linenberg initiated a “short-term catalytic buy buy” on Delta Air Lines Inc.DAL stock rose 1.84% on Friday, saying he believes the underperformance so far this year will turn into outperformance in the coming months. Delta stock climbed 2.2%
Actions of Roku Inc. ROKU,
fell 3.8% after Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall lowered the stock to equal weight versus overweight.
How did other assets trade?
The yield of the 10-year Treasury bill TMUBMUSD10Y,
rose about 5 basis points to 1.459% on Friday. For the week, the yield rose about 9 basis points.
The ICE US Dollar DXY index,
a measure of the currency against a basket of rivals, fell nearly 0.2% on Friday but was up about 0.1% for the week.
Oil futures soared, with the US benchmark CL00,
rising 0.9% to $ 73.98 per barrel. GC00 gold futures contracts,
also ended higher, up 0.1% to $ 1,751.70 an ounce, but was relatively stable for the week.
In Asia, the Hong Kong Hang Seng HSI index,
fell 1.3% and recorded a weekly decline of 2.9%, while China’s CSI 300,000 300 index,
ended virtually unchanged and recorded a weekly decline of 0.1%. The Nikkei 225 NIK index,
jumped 2% on the session, helping to narrow a weekly decline to 0.8%.
In Europe, the Stoxx Europe 600 SXXP,
closed 0.9% lower but recorded a weekly gain of 0.3%, while the FTSE 100 UKX index,
closed 0.4% lower but posted a weekly advance of 1.3%.

Macroeconomic concepts tell us that when supply of a valuable commodity is limited, demand for it will rise, and so will its price. Fiat currencies are backed by governments and central banks and more can be printed at will.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, doesn’t have traditional backing and has a fixed supply. This may increase its long term value. Or not.
Bitcoin’s supply cap was set at 21 million by Satoshi Nakamoto, who is believed to be the inventor of Bitcoin. That meant only 21 million Bitcoin tokens would ever be produced. This hard cap is perceived by investors to be positive since creating scarcity could ultimately lead to an increase in value.
In his 2008 white paper and an email exchange with former Bitcoin software developer Mike Hearn, Satoshi said that setting the cap of 21 million was an educated guess.
Current estimates for mining of the final Bitcoin put that date somewhere in February 2140, according to Investopedia. Interestingly, anyone who owns 21 Bitcoins or one-millionth of the entire supply is currently a millionaire today.
As more crypto investors become informed and view Bitcoin as a sound investment, its scarcity can contribute to its rise in value.
90% of available Bitcoin is already mined
According to Coin Base, the current circulating supply of Bitcoin (11/29/21) is 18.9 million – 90% of the 21 million hard cap. Since there is only 10% of Bitcoin left to go around, demand continues to rise.
The industry is in its very early days, and currently only one in ten Americans invest in cryptocurrency, while 55 percent invest in stocks.
Do your homework
Largely because the crypto industry communicates poorly, and because it is fairly complex, individual investors need to be sure they understand the risks and benefits before investing. While the space is tempting, determine your risk appetite and your risk tolerance before jumping in. That means that if you’re looking for guaranteed returns, crypto is not the market for you.
- Do your crypto research with reliable sources
- Learn your tax responsibilities from a crypto tax expert
- Invest only in what you understand
- Beware offers that sound too good to be true.
- Consider a Buy/Hold strategy, known as HODL by crypto investors
- Never Invest more than you can afford to lose
Bitcoin is perceived as a hedge against inflation
Central Banks and governments have the power to print fiat currency at their will resulting in their currency’s ability to depreciate. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s space is fixed and limited, making it less susceptible to inflation.
The rise in cryptocurrency adoption shows that individuals as well as institutional investors are joining the space at a rapid pace. Their perception is that crypto is a desirable hedge against inflation. They blame current inflationary trends largely on the way many governments are printing money to cushion Pandemic related economic issues.
Could Crypto regulation make it safer?
The short answer is probably.
Currently, the cryptocurrency industry is worth over $2 trillion. Senior administration figures, including from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and SEC Chair Gary Gensler, have said more oversight is necessary. In fact, Gensler described crypto as “the Wild West” in need of more oversight.
Two sides to the regulation debate
The Biden Administration is focused on crypto in part because it realizes that taxing crypto transactions is a government revenue enhancer.
Comprehensive regulation for cryptocurrency is currently in the works. This might be a step toward mainstream crypto investing.
At the same time, long-standing crypto investors and enthusiasts fear that over regulation could suffocate this rapidly expanding industry. That said, nobody is defining over regulation.
It could, therefore, be crucial that lawmakers create a regulatory environment no less flexible than our current securities environment, that minimizes the risks of adopting new technologies, without disabling their benefits.

The trajectory bar visualizes the treatment trajectory of the cliënt. After all, therapy is unique and layered. A variety of therapeutic activities can be added to a trajectory: sessions, notes, questionnaires, reports, exercises and syncs. Below we illustrate these activities.
Sessions between the therapist and the client are the heart of the therapy process. They can take place physically or online and fit logically into the trajectory and the overarching agenda.
In every session, there is the ability to make notes (or to add photo, pdf, word, audio & video files) about substantive, practical, or process aspects. For deontological reasons, the therapists can store private notes that won't be accessible by the client, and by colleagues.
Unlocked notes are accessible in the case of shared files.
Locked notes are never accessible when you share a client with another therapist.
The QIT-platform enables easy and safe collaboration between caregivers and users. Consultation moments, such as supervision, intervision, interdisciplinary coordination,... can be easily added to the trajectory overview and documented with notes or digital files (such as reports, certificates, emails,...).
QIT online has an extensive library of more than 130 questionnaires that can be used for various purposes: psychodiagnostics, screening, process and outcome monitoring and client satisfaction. There are questionnaires for adults, children, young people, couples, parents, families and caregivers. A wide range of relevant aspects of therapy is represented, such as:
risk of drop-out
quality of the work alliance
helping and disruptive processes
Your client's answers are captured in real-time in a well-arranged feedback report. It immediately gives you the right information about crucial evolutions and important points for attention. Scores are automatically calculated and interpreted by comparing them with the reference group. A scatter table or evolution chart provides more insight into the process flow. It helps you and your client stay attuned and adjust the process if necessary.
In consultation with the care provider, these modules can be added to the client care process. They can provide the client with more insight into processes that are involved in the therapy or they can give the client extra tools to get started with certain matters. The modules are structured in such a way that the client can go through them at his/her own pace and in the order that best suits the client's preferences and needs.
Online self-help can complement and strengthen the regular care offer. Clients are encouraged to roll up their sleeves more themselves such that therapeutic gains can be redeemed more easily.
Fruitful processes of change only really appear to flourish when the wisdom of clients is combined with the expertise of the therapist. It gives clients more ownership, which strengthens self-exploration and trying out new behaviors or newly discovered experiences. Empowerment is the keyword here.

Host plant selection in closely related butterfly species due to reproductive interference: Modelling a tritrophic system
Sammanfattning: Host plant selection is an important process during the life cycle of lepidopterans, providing ovipositing sites for adults and food resources for the larvae. The processes behind host plant selection have been extensively studied, especially in closely related species in the context of niche separation. Empirical and theoretical studies have shown that multiple processes, such as resource competition, parasitoid avoidance and reproductive interference between interspecific individuals can affect host plant selection, often leading to niche separation. The aim of this study was to create and analyze a mathematical model using the adaptive dynamics techniques, in order to study the evolution of habitat selection. Our model incorporated three processes: Resource competition in the form of density dependent growth, parasitoid attacks and repro- ductive interference in a two species-two habitat system. It was hypothesized that the presence of parasitoids would promote co-existence through top-down control, while reproductive inter- ference would promote niche separation. The results confirmed both hypotheses. The analysis incorporating only the effect of parasitism showed the evolution of habitat separation when parasitoids attacked randomly and the evolution of co-existence in both habitats in the case of switching parasitoids. On the other hand, incorporating reproductive interference promoted the evolution of partial or complete niche separation. The extent of this process was shown to depend on the strength of reproductive interference and the initial habitat choice of the two species. Stronger reproductive interference increased the size of the set of initial conditions leading to the evolution of complete niche separation. The analysis conducted in this study demonstrated the opposing effects of parasitism and reproductive interference on the evolution of habitat selection, promoting co-existence and separation respectively.

Dallis Brimm, 7, walked up to the tennis courts at T.B. McPherson Park, racket in hand, ready to play a round of tennis. A quiet rainfall hit the blue tennis court floor, but that didn’t stop Dallis from doing what she loves.
Historically, more expensive and higher maintenance sports like tennis haven’t always been accessible to Black children like Dallis. Historic barriers like income disparities and post-effects of segregation linger today.
Now, there’s a discounted program in East Gainesville that hopes to tackle the inequality gap.
The T.B. McPherson Pilot Program launched Sept. 13 and has brought tennis classes to East Gainesville for all ages at the park, located at 1717 SE 15th St.
The program, sponsored by the Gainesville chapter of 100 Black Men of Greater Florida and Aces in Motion, hopes to bring more sports programs to children in East Gainesville.
Dallis’ grandmother, community leader Latashia Brimm, heard about the program on Facebook and immediately thought of Dallis who saw tennis players on TV and took interest in the sport.
“She’s been excited,” Brimm said. “She’s been asking when she’s gonna get to hit the ball.”
Even though Dallis was the only one in attendance on Sept. 21, she took full advantage of it.
“She has not expressed any interest in any sport other than this one,” Brimm said.
She hopes Dallis acquires new skills she can use down the road and will be able to say she tried something new.
Tennis facilitator Ebony Wiggins, 28, coaches kids in the program and takes care of the courts.
“We wanted to branch out and start tennis out here so more kids can learn tennis and love to learn the game,” Wiggins said.
Tennis is generally a sport that requires families to have a disposable income, she said, so the program helps bring tennis to minorities generally underrepresented in the sport in East Gainesville.
Wiggins attended Abraham Lincoln Middle School in East Gainesville and was only ever familiar with basketball, soccer and volleyball. Her family didn’t have enough money for her to play tennis as a kid. Now, she’s excited to see children play tennis because of the discounted gameplay of $50 for six weeks.
“If they decide that they love tennis and want to play some more, then we’re here to give that to them,” Wiggins said.
Christopher Champion, head tennis professional for Play Tennis Gainesville, 35, had a one-on-one session with 9-year-old Lainey Norton, the only child that showed up for the 4:30 p.m. class on Sept. 23.
Champion collaborated with 100 Black Men of Greater Florida Gainesville and Aces in Motion to bring the program to life.
“We want to inform and educate the community about what tennis is, and try to make sure that individuals know that it's accessible,” Champion said.
He’s played the game since he was 3 years old and understands its influence on a person.
What separates tennis from other sports is the required decision making, Champion said. Because it is an individual sport as opposed to a team sport, the athlete must rely on himself or herself to make the complete decision.
Jamar Hebert, the president and chairman of the organization, was approached by Play Tennis Gainesville to participate in the T.B. McPherson program.
“We may discover the next Venus or Serena,” Hebert said.
Tennis is just one way to bring more resources to East Gainesville, Hebert said.
Like Wiggins, Hebert recognizes a problem with the racial and socioeconomic makeup of recreational and professional tennis teams across the U.S. In East Gainesville, he said there are less sports programs offered to children in the area.
“This is just one of many ways that we're trying to bridge that gap,” Hebert said. “The game of tennis provides important life skills, lessons and mental and physical wellness to all.”
His organization hopes to inspire and encourage young Black males in particular, pushing them to join non-traditional sports like tennis.
The organization’s motto is “what they see is what they’ll be,” Hebert said.
“We firmly believe that exposing our two avenues into these programs, they’ll see it,” he said. “And hopefully they’ll be it.”
The program hosts three different groups: Red Ball Tennis 4 Kids, Orange Ball Tennis 4 Kids and Love to Learn Adult Clinic. The red group runs from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for ages 8 and under. The orange group follows the red group from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and hosts kids ages 10 and under. The adult group is from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on the same nights.

How Expensive Is Gaming As A Hobby? Everything You Need To Know…
It can’t be denied gaming can be one of the more expensive of pastimes. It’s not like running or cycling where once you’ve got one piece of equipment you can just go.
No, there’s the console, the games, the subscriptions. Finding the finances can be tough, especially for younger gamers.
The Cost of a Console
Of course the most important thing to fuel a gaming hobby is the console itself. A PlayStation 4 can range from anywhere between $300 to $500, while you’re also expected to pay around the same for an Xbox One in the likes of Walmart.
This is the area you shouldn’t skimp. If you’re going to fuel a gaming hobby you need to invest in a games console. It isn’t like an iPhone where a new, better series comes out each year, they can last years and the better the console, the better the gameplay and the longer it’ll last.
Of course, such an investment is as big as buying a first car for students and college kids. But don’t settle for a lesser model, find a place you can settle in instalments or look out for the best credit cards for college students on trusted sites like moneyunder30.com. This way, you won’t have to settle a full $500 in one lump sum.
Total Cost: $300-500
One of the first things you’re likely to do is order a subscription so you can play the likes of Call of Duty and FIFA 2018 online with both friends and people from across the world.
For PlayStation Plus, a membership which allows you to play online, you’ll be looking to pay around $50 per year, although this again can be split monthly to limit the hit on your wallet.
In terms of Xbox Live, you can pick up their Gold membership for $59 per year or buy monthly passes for a one off $9.99.
They’re generally worth buying and will significantly increase your gaming experience. You’ll also receive a number of games with Live Gold, meaning it will save you cash when it comes to buying games for your console.
Total Cost: $50-60 per year
Buying Games: Just How Much Do We Spend?
Naturally, how much you spend on games will depend on how many you buy. Here, rather than significant experts and paying with installments or credit, we’d recommend your expendable income go on games really.
With the Xbox, games are coming in at around $60 for the latest releases, although you will receive significant discounts for those with Live Gold.
When it comes to buying games it’s worth giving yourself a budget for how much you want to spend on games per week, month or year. This way you won’t have found yourself piling up debt when you buy more games than you can afford.
It can be worth waiting a few months after a games release if you want to see its price drop, in which case you can usually pick up top titles from as little as $30, particularly if it’s a yearly release such as Madden or FIFA.
Total Cost: $30-60 per game
Additional assets for your console don’t come cheap and if you’re hobby is begging you for all the latest gadgets it can be extremely costly. New controllers for the PlayStation 4 are around the $50 mark, while investing in the likes of VR, driving wheels and guns have significant price tags.
Virtual Reality is of course one of the biggest trends currently and bundles for the PS4 VR offering will set you back as much as $400 for a top of the range bundle. Integrated with a console too, their premier bundle is $1,500.
It’s a similar story with Xbox where you’d be looking to pay around $300 for a decent headset.
You’ll find accessories can vary pricewise dependent on the quality, particularly when it comes to driving accessories. Full set ups can cost up to $1,000 comfortably, but you’ll also be able to pick a wheel for as little as $100, so it all depends on how serious you are about gaming.
Total Cost: $50-1,500

Heronswood, is a botanical garden located in Kingston, Kitsap County, Washington. The botanical garden was established in 1987 by Dan Hinkley and Robert Jones. Heronswood was sold to the W. Atlee Burpee company in 2000, and went through their filing bankruptcy and was completely neglected for the next several years.
In 2012 Heronswood was sold to the Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe who are committed to maintaining the garden for the local community as well as garden enthusiast visiting from points further. Volunteers are welcome to get their hands dirty, as garden restoration efforts are underway.
The garden showcases an impressive collection of plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers from around the world and is recognized internationally for its environmentally friendly and creative use of plants and garden design.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe, also known as the Port Gamble Indian Community, live on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. The S’Klallams are Native Americans indigenous to the Pacific Northwest Coast.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Reservation is made up of 1,700 acres of land in the northern part of Kitsap County, Washington. The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe is federally recognized and the land is held in trust by the federal government. The reservation was founded in 1938 and is collectively held by the tribe.
Heronswood is a sanctuary with an unexpected gem that allows visitors to take a botanical walk around the world with a collection of plants that you won’t find anywhere else in Kitsap County.
Whether exploring as a visitor or working as a volunteer, Heronswood is a peaceful and tranquil respit.

|I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. --Gilbert K. Chesterton|
The Gift of Humility--by Colette Lafia, syndicated from gratefulness.org, Jun 23, 2019
The cherry blossoms have arrived, and it feels like nature has handed us a beautiful gift. At the Japanese Tea Garden, here in San Francisco, I lean into a low hanging blossom and inhale the delicate sweet scent. The wet pink petals touch my nose, and once again, I am reminded of the generosity of nature, year after year. From the air we breathe, to the body we each inhabit, we are living a profound gift, and yet, we can struggle to see and relate to life as a gift.
In his seminal book, Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer, Brother David Steindl-Rast poses a question worth pondering: “Why is it so difficult to acknowledge a gift as a gift?”
He believes that admitting something as a gift is also admitting our dependence on the giver. And we don’t like or want to be dependent on anyone or anything. We can find it difficult to allow ourselves to be what he calls “freely dependent.” However, as we all know, to see ourselves as completely independent beings is an illusion, since we are all living inter-dependent lives. Brother David reminds us that “gratefulness always goes beyond myself. For what makes something a gift is precisely that it is given. And the receiver depends on the giver. This is true humility.” (1)
The relationship between humility and gratitude is essential. It allows us to receive both the big things, as well as the simple things as gifts; and ultimately, to see everything as connected. “The moment I acknowledge the gift as gift and so acknowledge my dependence, I am free—free to go forward into full gratefulness,” Brother David teaches.
Humility is a portal to deeper and more abiding gratitude. And yet, humility is not a word most of us are fully comfortable with, if we attach to the concept that we are, or must remain, in control. Humility is rooted in the relationship of both giver and receiver. As Angeles Arrien wrote in her book, Living In Gratitude, “Humility is a blessing, as it allows us to reach beyond ourselves and appreciate the gifts others bring to the world, a natural source of gratitude.”
So how do we live humility in the acts of gratefulness? I have noticed that gratitude comes to life when it is expressed because speaking something brings it to life. I might say “Thank you” to my students in the library for being patient and listening, “Thank you” to my husband for cooking dinner, “Thank you” to myself for taking time to swim to care for my body, “Thank you” to Creation for the beauty of the blue sky. The practice of saying thank you genuinely throughout the day encourages true humility within and around us. It cultivates grateful living.
A few years ago, after noticing a tension building up in our marriage, and both of us not feeling fully appreciated, my husband and I decided to cultivate a gratitude practice between us. Now, we say “Thank you” more often to each other, and what a difference that makes! “Thank you” for taking the car in for an oil change; “Thank you” for picking up groceries; “Thank you” for setting me a bath; “Thank you” for working so hard; and “Thank you” for the encouragement, the patience, and the love! Gratitude has brought more of a togetherness into our hearts and into our homes.
Humility and gratitude are about acknowledging a togetherness we all live in–with each other, with nature, and with the Sacred. We are invited to take our place with grace, in great and growing gratitude. I offer you this gratitude practice:
In the quiet of your heart, say to yourself, in a loving and kind way, “Thank you” for all you are and all you do.
In your journal, write a thank-you note for something in your life or to someone in your life.
Gratitude is an energy. Start saying thank you more in your life, and notice the energy it creates in you and around you. You might be surprised!

It’s well known that big data is usually stated in terms of the three Vs: Volume, Variety and Velocity. The three Vs appropriately sum up the characteristics of big data and convey that big data is heterogeneous, noisy, dynamic, inter-related and not trustworthy.
It’s well known that big data is usually stated in terms of the three Vs: Volume, Variety and Velocity. The three Vs appropriately sum up the characteristics of big data and convey that big data is heterogeneous, noisy, dynamic, inter-related and not trustworthy. Companies now strive to convert the three Vs into Big Promises. And Big Data’s promise can be summarized by three new descriptive terms: Veracity, Value and Victory.
1. Three Vs of Big Promise – Veracity, Value and Victory
Like the three Vs of big data that well describe the characteristics of big data, the volume is based on both variety and velocity; the three Vs of Big Promise also has an internal relationship. The Veracity mined from big data, based on volume and variety, determines the Value of big data. The value determines the Victory when a business appropriately applies in a timely manner. The higher the Veracity mined from raw data, the more valuable the result, the smarter decision a business can make, and the more successful the business will become. All those will lead to big Victory for the business.
While much around big data remains hype, many companies are in the fledging stages of drawing value from their big data corpus, and given an army of discussions and opinions around the topic, it’s still hard to find a clear roadmap to arrive at the Big Promise.
2. The Journey from Big Data to Big Promise
Here I share my thoughts about the roadmap from the big picture of big data in a grand view, regardless the type of a business. Basically there are three big steps:
Step 1: Big Data Collection – Gathering Organic Material
Regardless where you are in the journey – it has to start with understanding the nature of the big data defined by three V’s defined though there is voice that put more dimensions into the big data such as value and veracity. However I do not think they are characteristics of big data in raw. Instead I defined them as two characteristics of big data promise.
Step 2: Big Data Analytics – Gleaning Big Insight
The core technologies are big data platform and big data analytics. The big data platform provides the power of speedy processing with millions of records per second. It harness an integrated technologies for transforming organic/raw content to designed content like Natural Language process (NLP), Data Cleansing, transformation (ETL) and filtering methods. The goal aims to transform semi-structured or unstructured data into structured format for easier understanding, analysis and visualization.
Though in the world of analytics, there are many different kinds of analytics terminologies used and referenced like text analytics, social media analytics, customer, social network, business or sentiment analytics, if given deep thoughts on those terminologies, basically analytics can be categorized into three categories functionally, they are Descriptive Analytics, Relationship Analytics, Prescriptive Analytics. The detail is explained as below for each of them.
1. Descriptive Analytics
Once organic data are transformed into designed data from data processing phase, the first analytics is descriptive or exploratory. This phase uses simple statistics to get a general understanding about the data such as data properties like dimensions and field types, statistical profile or summaries like number of records, missing values or field value max, min, median, field value distribution, etc. The exploratory analysis provides us with initial knowledge about the raw content without any deeper digging internal relationships. The process can suggest right strategies to perform deeper analysis. The phase can be done on a random sampled dataset with simple tools like excel sheet and visualized with basic chart types like bar chart, pie chart and scatter plot, etc. The characteristics of the descriptive analytics are:
- Autonomy, the analytics performed is based on individual fields and their values and it’s self-government and independent of other fields without considering any connections between different fields and contents.
- Shallow and Straight forward, the result from the analysis is usually shallow basic statistics like the frequencies of word count, the number and percent of employees with a earning about 5k within a certain geographic area.
- Simple and Easier understanding – As the method to analyze the data is basic statistical profiling without any extra effort involved, so the result is also simple and easier to understand and visualize.
With descriptive analytics, it can reach a general understanding about what happened. It’s like a doctor to find out what happened to a patient, the fact first before he digs out why the patient got the disease.
2. Relationship Analytics
This level analytics aims to dig out embedded valuable insight among the big data. Comparing with the descriptive analytics, the analysis is deeper – in order to succeed at this level, it requires ample mining algorithm or methods like advanced statistics, sophisticated machine learning, inter-disciplined studies, meta or scalable algorithms; the process involved is usually also complicated and performance demanding both in speed and volume.
The reason I called the analytics at this level as relationship analytics because, at this deeper level analytics, its primary goal is to find connection among data elements – the connection may be timely based like sequential dependent relationship or geo location based or functional category based like relationship between production and customer purchasing pattern or transaction based like marketing basket analytics.
During this level analysis, the methods used may be as below:
- Inferential or Association draws insight from data through random processes that are developed with statistical methods. Inferential depends on the right population and randomly sampled. For example, the average children height tends to higher than their parents who are usually lower than average height of adults. For basket analysis, through mining millions of transactions, some of items have the higher probability to be bought together by customers like coffee and coffee mater – creams, etc. some of the conclusions are easier to understand and make common sense, however, the high value comes from the conclusions that are against people’s common sense or wrong assumption.
- Model based analysis uses pre-developed model based on the known observed data to infer or predict what will happen in the future. Under this category, two sub categories are commonly known, classification and predictive modeling. Usually when the target variable is in different categories and the method is called classification; when it’s numerical or continuous variable, it’s called predictive method. Both methods need a training data set that are well labeled and a test dataset that are drawn from the same population with the training dataset. The analysis has two phases involved, first a model is built with training dataset then evaluated or tested with test dataset for measuring its performance. Once the model is developed, it’s used to predict the future events or target variables based on the independent variables. For example, a linear regression model can be built to predict sales amount based on the factors that affect sales in the last three months then predict the next month sales; a decision tree model can be built to predict whether a specific twitter message is positive or negative, etc. Sometimes classification and predictive methods are overlapped based on the business applications.
- Segmentation dynamically group data into different clusters based predefined measurement like distance method. The method is different than the classification or predictive method. It does not need training data or test data. For example, an algorithm can be used to dynamically group similar twitter messages into different clusters.
3. Prescriptive Analytics
Prescriptive analysis is actually a business decision based on the conclusions or results drawn from relationship analysis. For a given situation, what kinds of best action to take so that we gain the expected result in the future? Suppose a patient go to see a doctor, first the doctor performs descriptive analysis, fact finding phase, to understand what happened to the patient and some relative factors like daily activities and workloads and food nutrition, next the doctor perform relationship analysis to find out what are the possible factors that cause the patient sick, finally the doctor will give prescription to the patient like medicines to take so that the patient can get well.
Step 3: Reap Big Promise
In order to fully empower a business with insight drawn from analytics – first the veracity of the result has to be verified before it can be deployed into a business application for generating valuable results. The main approaches that are used to evaluate the veracity of analytics results or models built include precision, recall and accuracy. Also we need to consider the business cost for each error made in dollars. Basically, there are three phases in evaluating the performance, 1) once the model or algorithm developed, the performance can be evaluated based on an validation dataset that are drawn from the same population of the training dataset. If the result is not good enough, the model needs to be redeveloped by adding more data or perform some tuning by adjusting parameters or exploring other methods; 2) the model is evaluated against a test dataset that are drawn from a different dataset than training data. This dataset is more representative to the real world dataset at the point of developing the model and the associate error cost should be also measured based on business objectives; 3) the model will be evaluated on an on-going process. Because the world changes so fast, new data comes in and they may be pretty different from the dataset used to develop the model. The phase 3 should be performed in a regular scheduled base so that the prediction will not go too far off the expected and causes business crashes. In the process, once it’s found the model does not perform well enough anymore, the process will go back to 2).
The values from data veracity of 2) are also count on how well the business takes full advantage of them – how many opportunities to use them to provide business intelligence to customers. Exploring the right business opportunities and defining the right objectives are the key factors for generating business values. If a company can generate higher revenue, victory will be shining out brightly tomorrow.

New cheese plant brings economic boost to Sorel-Tracy and local Quebec dairy producers
Food in Canada StaffBusiness Operations
The federal government is making an investment of up to $5 million to help Fromageries Bel Canada build the first Mini Babybel plant in Canada in Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. Mini Babybel cheese was previously made in the European Union or the United States, using non-Canadian dairy. Now, it will be made in Sorel-Tracy, using 100% locally-sourced milk.
The investment, provided through the AgriInnovate program, supported plant construction and the introduction of new technologies like moulding lines, waxing and a quality control system. The plant is expected to increase demand for Canadian dairy by 39 million liters annually and create over 140 full-time jobs in the Sorel-Tracy area.
“Bel Canada is a great story of foreign investment and knowledge transfer has made it possible to grow and market their cheeses, which are already very popular, but now made with our own milk. In doing so, their most recent processing plant is contributing to the economic vitality of the region of Sorel-Tracey, the creation of good jobs, increase in the demand for Canadian milk and our food security.” – The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food
“We are very proud to welcome the financial support of the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food. This financial assistance enabled us to carry out a promising project for the construction of a state-of-the-art plant. This is not only excellent news for the Canadian dairy sector, but also for the regional Quebec economy. Almost 140 quality local jobs have been created thanks to this project. The plant will be entirely dedicated to the production of Mini Babybel and will supply the entire Canadian market. We will continue to assert our position in the Quebec and Canadian dairy industry while contributing to the economic development of our beautiful Quebec regions.” – Cristine Laforest, General Manager, Fromageries Bel Canada
The AgriInnovate funding of up to $5 million builds on a federal contribution of $2.7 million made in 2018, through Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions.
The AgriInnovate program aims to accelerate the commercialization, adoption and/or demonstration of innovative products, technologies, processes or services that increase sector competitiveness and sustainability.
The AgriInnovate program is part of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year (2018-2023), $3-billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen agriculture and agri-food sector.
In 2019, there were almost 500 dairy processors in Canada, including approximately 190 in Quebec. Quebec dairy processors accounted for 30% of total dairy manufacturing sales, reaching nearly $4.47 billion annually, and more than 10,000 direct jobs.
Fromageries Bel Canada created its subsidiary in 2005. This spurred the development of the Group’s operations across Canada and implemented a local production strategy.
The Mini Babybel® plant in Sorel-Tracy has been operational since August 2020.

We are all aware that Curd is a dairy product prepared by coagulating milk in a process called curdling. It is a rich source of calcium and protein. Its calcium content is higher than milk too! Some kids do not like milk. But a proper amount of calcium is still required for the development of bones and teeth. So here comes Curd/Yoghurt to your rescue. Everyone loves curd and if you add proper spices and some vegetables the flavour turns out to be amazing!
Read on to know more about the recipe of Mix veg raita for babies. To add more nutrition to this recipe, we’ll be adding a lot of vegetables. This way, the kids will get to eat vegetables like carrot, cucumber, capsicum, onion, and tomatoes. Raw vegetables are best for your growing child as they make your kid feel more energetic, and render a better skin and great digestion to them. Heating veggies destroys the nutrients and natural enzymes in food. This recipe will help you feed them raw vegetables and keep the nutrition intact. Your child will love mix veg raita and it will be a delight for you to see them chugging on all the necessary nutrients. Thinking about how to make mix veg raita? Let us get started!

Types of Hydraulic Filters
Regardless of your system’s existing filtration components, Aberdeen Dynamics’ has a filtration solution for any application and a proper filter selection is only a few questions away. Recommended fluid cleanliness levels can vary depending on the types of components used within a fluid power system. With Aberdeen Dynamics’ support, your system can achieve optimal fluid cleanliness while minimizing downtime.
Environment, fluid type and system pressure all factor into the selection of filtration products. Most fluid power systems use a combination of low-pressure filters combined with medium or high-pressure filters to adequately control fluid cleanliness levels. It is critical to understand component sensitivity within a fluid power system before selecting a proper filter. Aberdeen Dynamics has the resources to assist in this process and understands that each application requires a thorough consultation.
Filter element performance is rated upon several characteristics including micron, efficiency, dirt capacity and flow vs. pressure loss. Properly sized, installed and maintained filtration plays a key role in machine preventative maintenance planning. The function of a hydraulic filter is to clean oil, but the ultimate purpose is to reduce operating costs. The disposal cost of a drum of waste oil can be 4 to 5 times the cost of a drum of new oil. New fluid is not necessarily clean fluid. Typically, new fluid right out of the drum is not suitable for use in hydraulic or lubrication systems.
Before introducing new fluid into the system, it is best practice to utilize a type of off-line filtration system to obtain the recommended fluid cleanliness level suitable for operation. Off-line filtration can be a solution for many applications such as transferring fluid from drum to tank, conditioning fluid that is already in use, removing free and emulsified water and can be complementary to existing system filtration. A common off-line filtration tool is the portable filter cart which features a heavy-duty frame equipped with a hydraulic pump, dual filters, flexible hose and wand assembly and optional particle counter to self-diagnose contamination levels. The portable filter cart is a user-friendly and convenient option when servicing hydraulic systems.
Suction filters are located within the hydraulic reservoir and offer last chance protection for the hydraulic pump. Designed for direct installation into suction lines of pumps, suction filters should always be installed below the minimum fluid level of the reservoir. Suction filters are much easier to service than a sump strainer and can prevent costly damage to your hydraulic system. This filter type does not protect downstream components from pump wear debris and may not be suitable for some variable volume pumps.
Low-pressure filters are typically rated for up to 150psi and are located in system return lines, and can also be used as reservoir breathers. A common type of low-pressure filter is the spin-on disposable canister. The spin-on filter is often economical and easy to handle because oil is contained inside the canister. When properly sized and installed, a spin-on filter element can last for up to 500 hours of operation. More frequent replacement may be required when operated in heavily contaminated areas such as foundries, grinding operations and mobile equipment. Under these conditions, spin-on filter canisters should be replaced every 250 hours. A pressure indicator gauge located on the filter’s head will inform the user that differential pressure is exceeding the bypass setting and oil is no longer being filtered through the canister, therefore, signaling that a filter change is needed.
For more efficient contamination control and performance, a tank top mounted return line filter such as Parker’s GLF series filter, provides added features and benefits. Because this type of filter is mounted on top of the hydraulic tank, the filter element is less restricted in overall length and can provide excellent flow diffusing, controlling aeration. The bowl-less design of the tank top return filter provides a service-friendly design that combines high particle capture efficiency with high dirt holding capacity while maintaining a low differential pressure drop. The GLF series filter features inside-to-outside filtration where all captured contamination is retained inside the element which helps prevent recontamination of the system during the change of the element. The GLF series also features a unique head with two inlet ports to provide flexibility during installation and allow added oil to be filtered before entering the system. The GLF series tank top filter consists of more than ten different configurations making this filter an ideal solution for most industrial or mobile applications.
Medium pressure filters have been developed to provide efficient filtration for applications requiring 500 to 1200 psi and are found in-line to protect hydraulic components downstream of the pump. With several medium pressure filter models to choose from, it is best to start by understanding the system’s max pressure and the required flow rate. Most medium pressure filters are rated to handle flow rates of 50 to 425 gallons per minute. Aberdeen Dynamics can assist in filter selection to help minimize costs, but also ensure specifications are equipped to meet your application demands.
For medium pressure applications that require an environmentally-friendly solution, Parker’s 12CS and 50CS hydraulic filter models feature a reusable bowl and a patented filter element with reinforced polymer end caps. The element core is permanently attached as part of the filter bowl. When replaced, the 12CS/50CS coreless element reduces costs, eliminates hot drain requirements, can be easily incinerated and is better-suited for most landfills. Some applications for the Parker 12CS/50CS include mobile agriculture, construction, material handlers, machine tools, joystick controls and industrial power units.
Lastly, high-pressure filters are used in applications where pressures exceed 1,200 psi. The majority of applications that use high-pressure filters operate within a 1,200 psi to 7,000 psi pressure range. Similar to medium pressure filters, the high-pressure filters are located in-line within the hydraulic circuit and downstream of the hydraulic pump to provide protection for more sensitive hydraulic components.

Elevated DNA excision repair capacity in the extraembryonic mesoderm of the midgestation mouse embryo
ISBN or ISSN
Experimental cell research
Publication Date / Copyright Date
In order to determine whether there is differential cell-type-specific DNA repair we measured the nucleotide excision repair capacity of the four distinct cell lineages that comprise the extraembryonic yolk sac using the unscheduled DNA synthesis assay. Yolk sacs from mouse embryos at 11.5-12.5 days gestation were microdissected to yield purified trophoblast, parietal endoderm, mesoderm, and visceral endoderm, as well as fetal skin fibroblasts which were then grown as primary explants. At this midgestational stage of development, the yolk sac provides essential functions for the sustenance of the embryo while the complex process of organogenesis is proceeding in the liver, kidney, and gut. Trophoblast giant cells, parietal endoderm, and visceral endoderm all demonstrated low levels of unscheduled DNA synthesis consistent with levels measured in adult mouse skin fibroblasts. As has previously been documented, embryonic mouse skin fibroblasts were reproducibly 2- to 3-fold higher than adult mouse skin fibroblasts in levels of DNA excision repair. The extraembryonic mesoderm, however, displayed a statistically significant level of unscheduled DNA synthesis 10-fold higher than adult mouse skin fibroblasts or the other lineages of the midgestation yolk sac. Further, the S-indexes of these lineages were also determined to assess the possible relevance of differential repair to the proliferative status of the cells. These data demonstrate that DNA excision repair capacity is lineage-specific during embryogenesis in the mouse. These studies may begin to provide a context for understanding the perplexing developmental aspects such as the characteristic congenital abnormalities associated with the human heritable DNA repair deficiency diseases.

For their book Great By Choice, Jim Collins and Morten T. Hansen did some very interesting research on the impact that luck has on making some companies stand out above the rest. They discovered that the great companies in their study did not have more good luck or less bad luck than their competition. Leaders of great companies can’t control luck any more than the rest of us. What separated the great companies was how their leaders responded to the luck event. Leaders of the great companies were able to recognize the luck event (whether it was good luck or bad luck) and seize the opportunity to get a high return on luck at the pivotal moment so that their companies reap the benefits for years to come.
Rhythm’s Think Plan Do® framework fits perfectly with Collins’ recommendation to “zoom out” to evaluate the landscape for changing conditions or luck events that could cause a disruption to your business and then “zoom in” to “focus on supreme execution" of priorities to eventually achieve your BHAG.
Here’s how Rhythm can help you manage luck so you get the biggest return:
• Think Rhythm: Collins recommends “zooming out” to recognize luck events when they happen. Getting into a rhythm of thinking about your business strategies will give you the discipline to pick your head up on a regular basis and think about what’s happening in the marketplace and in the world that could potentially impact your business. Collins also stresses the importance of developing the wisdom to know when to let luck disrupt your plans and when to stay the course. Having this time to think carved out in your weekly schedule and setting aside time every quarter to think with your team about opportunities and threats will help you to recognize patterns and develop the muscle you need to exercise to know when it is time to adjust your strategy.
• Plan Rhythm: Collins also stresses the importance of preparing in advance to survive bad luck when it happens. According to Collins, great leaders are hypersensitive to changing conditions and continuously asking “What if…” While they can’t see the future, they do know that something bad will likely happen at some point, so they prepare by having a financial buffer and taking fewer risks that could potentially damage their company. Collins calls this kind of leadership “productive paranoia” and explains that it is critical to zoom out to identify potential bad luck events, determine the time frame in which they could cause risk to your company, and plan for the new conditions appropriately. Having your team in a quarterly planning rhythm of stepping out of the day to day operations of the company for two days a quarter to look at the landscape, note any changing conditions, and make needed adjustments to your strategy could potentially save you from disaster.
• Do Rhythm: Finally, Collins states that you have to execute the plan to create positive return on luck with discipline and focus. This is exactly what your Rhythm dashboards can help you achieve. Once you determine the plan and speed with which to respond to the luck event, Rhythm can help you communicate the plan to your organization and drive alignment to ensure that everyone is working on the right things to accomplish your plan. Your weekly adjustment meetings give you the opportunity to evaluate every week how the team is executing and whether you are seeing the results you thought you would from your strategy. You have the opportunity to make adjustments based on the data every week so that you aren’t stuck with a strategy that isn’t working until your next planning session.
Collins gives examples of companies that have had extraordinarily lucky events that should have propelled them forward, but since they lacked disciplined and precise execution they were not able to capitalize on the luck events leaving them stuck in mediocrity. The flip side is true as well; he cites companies that have had exceptionally bad luck that were able to take that event and use it to become a great company. So, get your team on a Think Plan Do rhythm to recognize luck events and changing conditions, plan for them, and make weekly adjustments to execute plans with precision. This way, you can get the maximum return on luck and be well on your way to becoming a great company.

The Street Medicine program at USC’s Keck School of Medicine is one of roughly 28 programs in California that offer health care to people experiencing homelessness on the streets rather than a traditional medical facility.
“We leave our offices and go to the people under bridges, behind dumpsters, wherever they are outdoors,” says physician assistant Brett Feldman, who leads the program.
Even though all his patients qualify for Medi-Cal, his team can’t get reimbursed by the state.
“The street is not recognized as a legitimate place to deliver health care,” he says.
Assembly Bill 369 would change that. Currently sitting on the governor’s desk, it would allow street medicine teams to act as primary care physicians and get reimbursed regardless of location.
“Generally, our unhoused population, when they need care, they find their way to emergency rooms or urgent care. This costs taxpayers a lot of money,” says State Senator Sydney Kamlager, who represents LA and authored the bill. “So the implementation of street medicine teams that are allowed to be reimbursed for the health care that they are providing will save Californians money, and it will increase the health care outcomes of Californians.”
If passed, the law would apply only to legitimate street medicine programs that deliver medical services and are connected to a larger institution, such as a university or government agency.
“We certainly don't want rogue teams popping up,” says Kamlager.
Ultimately, Feldman says this law would save lives.
“In LA, 1,300 people died on the streets in the last year,” he says. “That's not just a number for me, some of them were my friends and patients. What we would need to come anywhere close to meeting the demand is to be able to get reimbursed for the care we're providing."

The democratization of education continues:
Stanford University will be offering the class “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” online for free this fall to anyone who wishes to take it. The class will include testing, quizzes, and two 75 minute lectures per week.
Ten-thousand have signed up so far.
Alex Tabarrok over at Marginal Revolution says that its a sign that professors are becoming obsolete, and that the markets are moving to superstar teachers who can teach hundreds or even thousands online.

Sun Ra RingSKU: R-169SS
Le Sony'r Ra (22 May 1914 – 30 May 1993), better known as Sun Ra, was an American jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, and poet known for his experimental music, "cosmic" philosophy, prolific output, and theatrical performances. For much of his career, Ra led "The Arkestra", an ensemble with an ever-changing name and flexible line-up. He became involved in the Chicago jazz scene during the late 1940s and soon abandoned his birth name, taking the name Le Sony'r Ra, shortened to Sun Ra (after Ra, the Egyptian God of the Sun). He developed a complex persona and an idiosyncratic, myth-based credo that would make him a pioneer of Afrofuturism. He claimed to be an alien from Saturn on a mission to preach peace, and throughout his life he publicly denied ties to his prior identity.

Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama's performance on national security and international affairs and his image as a strong leader appear to be behind his rising approval rating, according to new national poll conducted as the president was on an overseas visit to four countries.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday indicates that Obama's approval rating among Americans stands at 54 percent, with 45 percent saying they disapprove of the job he's doing as president. Obama's approval rating appears to have steadily risen in the past two months, from 48 percent in early April to 52 percent in early May and the current mark of 54 percent.
Listen to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer CNN Radio's Bob Costantini discuss the new poll numbers:
"On specific issues, the president's approval rating is over 50 percent on only three out of 11 items tested, and all three - terrorism, Afghanistan, and Iraq - are foreign or security issues," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "But his approval rating on every domestic issue listed in the poll is well below 50 and on most of them - including the economy, health care, taxes, and the budget deficit - his rating has remained flat or dropped since the start of the year."
Only one in four says they approve of how the president is handling high gas prices. And the survey indicates that six in ten think that things are going badly in the country today. So why has Obama's overall approval rating risen to the mid-50s?
"Clearly Americans are responding the president's foreign policy credentials, an advantage that is magnified every time he goes abroad. That was a common pattern for previous presidents as well, even those who entered office with an ambitious domestic agenda," adds Holland.
The killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. special forces at the beginning of May also helped give Obama a bump in his approval ratings, with most of that change coming from two key groups - Republicans and senior citizens.
"Obama's overall approval rating among independents and Democrats is virtually unchanged since late April, but among Republicans it is up 12 points, to 27 percent," Holland says. "That 27 percent sounds pretty anemic, but it's Obama's highest approval rating among Republicans in over two years."
The same pattern holds among age groups. "Bin Laden's death has not made much difference in Obama's approval rating among people under the age of 65, but among senior citizens, positive views of his track record are up nine points, to 51 percent," Holland adds.
According to the poll, the president also gets a boost from his personal qualities, as has been the case since he first set foot on the national stage. Fifty-eight percent of Americans say he inspires confidence; 57 percent call him a strong leader.
And although the public gives Obama low marks on domestic issues, it appears they believe his heart is in the right place. Six in ten say that Obama cares about people, and 55 percent say he shares their values - the highest mark Obama has received on that measure since the "honeymoon" period in the months following his inauguration.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted May 24-26, with 1,007 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.
CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report

A just-released study involving 150 retail executives in 15 countries across the region shows there is widespread acceptance of an urgent need to innovate, and the need to use digital technology to do that – but it also highlights significant barriers that stand in the way of the investment required.
Executives at retail businesses in sectors as varied as fashion, electronics, jewellery and DIY were asked about how they were set up for innovation.
“An overwhelming majority of retailers agrees that investment in digital initiatives is critical if they are to reimagine the customer experience for today’s switched-on consumer,” said Philip Wiggenraad, head of research at Tofugear, which launched the 2018 Asia Digital Transformation Report in conjunction with Inside Retail Asia.
The study found that business intelligence and data analytics was the number one priority in terms of investment, with 43% of retailers saying they would invest in this over the next year.
And just over a third planned to invest in mobile apps in the coming 12 months, looking for ways to enhance the customer experience on the mobile device, rather than simply replicating their web sites.
Pop-up stores, where retailers can experiment with new products and formats in high-traffic areas at relatively low cost, are also popular; 32% are planning pop-up activity.
Emerging technologies are also high on the agenda; 15% of respondents said they planned to implement augmented reality in some form in the coming year, and the same proportion said they planned to invest in virtual reality.
A common concern voiced by executives related to their organisations’ preparedness to invest long term and to get the cross-departmental cooperation required to make innovation happen. Nearly three quarters of retailers said they did not consider their organisations to be flag-bearers for digital transformation.
“It may not only be a case of investing in new systems and technologies,” said Wiggenraad. “Retailers might also want to look at the way in which they manage innovation. There is a case to be made for the introduction of new digital roles that operate horizontally across the organisation, aligning all departments to the strategy.”

Baking soda, a weak base, is used in antacids, fire extinguishers, and baking powder. … Since carbon dioxide gas is more dense than air, it tends to sink; thus carbon dioxide can smother a fire by obstructing the flow of oxygen to the fuel, which needs oxygen to continue burning.
Why is baking soda used in fire extinguisher?
When sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is heated, it becomes sodium carbonate. In this process water and carbon dioxide is released. The CO2 starves the fire of O2. … These react to release CO2 which forms a layer over the burning substance and cuts the supply of oxygen to the fire.
What is the role of baking soda in baking powder and in antacids?
Both baking powder and baking soda are chemical leavening agents that cause batters to rise when baked. … Baking Powder is used to FERMENT of any recipes then results in the production of carbon dioxide it is also effective antacid to relieve heartburn.
Can we use baking soda as fire extinguisher?
Yes. Baking soda releases carbon dioxide, smothering flames.
Why is baking soda an antacid?
Health practitioners commonly accept baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, to be effective in providing temporary, occasional relief of acid reflux. It works because it has an alkaline pH, which helps to neutralize the acidity in your stomach, working in a similar manner to many over-the-counter antacids.
Is baking soda used as an antacid?
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a natural antacid. If you dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda into 8 ounces of water and drink it, it can neutralize stomach acid and temporarily alleviate heartburn caused by acid reflux.
How is baking soda useful in soda acid fire extinguisher Support your answer with a balanced chemical equation?
Answer: Soda acid fire extinguisher acts by cutting off supply of air. The carbon dioxide is liberated by the action of acid on baking soda ,it increases the percentage of carbon dioxide in air (as it is a non supporter of combustion)
How does baking soda help acid reflux?
Baking soda is a good treatment for immediate relief from occasional acid reflux. The recommended dosage for adults is one 1/2 tsp. dissolved in a 4-ounce glass of water. It’s best to sip this drink slowly to avoid side effects like gas and diarrhea.
Can baking soda help indigestion?
You can use it to: Calm indigestion: Add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water to zap acid in your stomach. But acid doesn’t cause all kinds of indigestion, so if your symptoms don’t improve after 2 weeks, call your doctor. Don’t take baking soda within 2 hours of other medications.
Why is baking soda an antacid for Class 10?
baking soda is basic in nature and in our stomach acidity occours due to more secretion of HCl.. (as we know HCl is secreted in stomach by gastric glands..) so , baking soda is given as an antacid to nutrilise the acidity of stomach…..
What is used as soda acid fire extinguisher?
The correct answer is Sodium hydrogen carbonate. Soda-acid fire extinguishers comprise sodium bicarbonate and sulphuric acid. It consists of a strong iron vessel with a side discharge nozzle.
What does baking soda turn into when heated?
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), is a chemical that can undergo a decomposition reaction when heated. At temperatures above 176 degrees Fahrenheit (80 degrees Celsius), sodium bicarbonate starts to break down into three compounds, forming sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is the pH of baking soda?
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a base. This means that when people dissolve baking soda in water, it forms an alkaline solution. For example, a 0.1 molar solution of baking soda has a pH of around 8.3.

On June 3, 2016, FERC accepted a compliance filing made by the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (“NYISO”) providing for changes to the NYISO tariff in order to expand participation in NYISO’s Day-Ahead Demand Response Program (“DADRP”) to include demand response from behind-the-meter generation. The tariff changes will become effective 60 days after the issuance of the June 3, 2016 order.
In June of 2013, a group of demand response providers (“Complainants”) filed a complaint with FERC alleging that NYISO’s tariff provisions for its DADRP were unduly discriminatory because they excluded demand response facilitated by behind-the-meter generation from participation, while simultaneously allowing similarly-situated demand response accomplished without the use of behind-the-meter generation to participate. FERC ultimately agreed and on November 22, 2013, FERC directed NYISO to undertake a stakeholder process and to file revised tariff provisions that would allow resources providing demand response facilitated by behind-the-meter generation to participate in the DADRP on a comparable basis with all other demand response resources. In doing so, FERC stated that these revised tariff provisions “should address appropriate eligibility, measurement, verification, and control requirements to ensure that demand response facilitated by behind-the-meter generation is provided in a manner that maintains system reliability and ensures that the resources are compensated only for the demand response service that they actually provide.”
On May 21, 2014, NYISO submitted its compliance filing, which included revised definitions, metering, and data reporting requirements. Specifically, NYISO proposed, among other things, amending the existing definition of “Demand Side Resource” to include resources that are capable of operating a “Local Generator”—the definition under NYISO’s tariff that refers to behind-the-meter generation—to facilitate load reduction. NYISO also proposed substituting its current baseline load methodology—used to measure the impact of a demand-response resource on load reduction—with a newer methodology called the Economic Customer Baseline Load (“ECBL”) which NYISO had submitted in response to FERC’s rule on demand response in wholesale markets, Order No. 745, and was pending before FERC. NYISO stated that it would apply the ECBL methodology to all demand response resources participating in the DADRP, including demand response resources that operate Local Generators to reduce load, upon FERC approval in the Order No. 745 proceeding. The proposed revisions also required that all demand response resources that are enrolled to participate in the DADRP and have a Local Generator be outfitted with New York Commission-approved meters.
In its June 3, 2016 order, FERC accepted NYISO’s filing, finding it in compliance with the Commission’s directives in the November 22, 2013 order. FERC rejected protestations from the Complainants that NYISO’s proposal to impose metering requirements on all individual behind-the-meter generators sited at a demand response resource facility as beyond the scope of the compliance proceeding, reasoning that: (i) the requirement responds to the November 22, 2013 order by seeking to treat demand response resources that have behind-the-meter generation comparably with all demand response resources; and (ii) because individually metering behind-the-meter generation enables NYISO to monitor the accuracy of the demand response resource’s baseline, and to confirm that the actual demand reduction is occurring, the requirement responds to the directive in the November 22, 2013 order to develop requirements that ensure that “the resources are compensated only for the demand response service that they actually provide.” FERC also rejected objections from the Complainants relating to the costs of individually metering behind-the-meter generators, finding that NYISO’s proposal reasonably balances cost concerns expressed during the stakeholder process and provides NYISO with the data needed to perform its monitoring functions, verify participation in the DADRP, and address the potential for manipulation.

- In-depth coverage of the Texas coast and its transformation from regional agricultural center to global shipping port
- More than 130 years of Lone Star State history, fully integrated with the world’s most comprehensive aggregated news resource
- Valuable for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline
The longest lasting of the two dozen newspapers once published in Corpus Christi, the Caller-Times stands out for its award winning coverage of the local economy, civil rights, military history and more. Providing this historical archive as part of the most comprehensive aggregated news resource in the world creates a seamless continuum of coverage from 1883 to today, and offers valuable teaching and research opportunities for students and faculty in nearly every academic discipline.
A window into turn of the century Texas
Founded as the Caller in 1883, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times offers a vibrant record of the history of the Texas Coast’s largest city. In the latter decades of the 19th century, when Corpus Christi was defined by agriculture, the Caller-Times developed a reputation for providing quality local journalism that chronicled the region’s cattle operations, meatpacking industry and cotton farms. After the devastating flood of 1919 and the rebuilding of the city’s port, however, Corpus Christi grew into a commercial hub driven by shipping. The Caller-Times kept pace, providing sharp insight into the city’s changing fortunes.
Local perspectives on major historical events
In 1929, the Caller and the Times merged to become the city’s most prominent paper. Its journalists captured the rise of the Texas oil industry, the expansion of the county’s Hispanic population, and the establishment of the Naval Air Station. Additionally, the Corpus Christi Caller-Times offers local perspectives into major twentieth-century events, such as both World Wars, the Great Depression, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement and more. It also provides firsthand perspectives on Corpus Christi’s own civil rights history, including the creation of the League of United Latin American Citizens and the American GI Forum, and the Cisneros v. Corpus Christi Independent School District case, which extended equal education laws to Mexican-Americans.
A continuum of coverage streamlines research
The historical archive of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times is fully integrated with the paper’s most recent news, as well as thousands of other up-to-date information sources. These diverse publications, many of which are unavailable elsewhere, offer extensive local, regional, national and international coverage, providing valuable perspectives from around the world. By accessing historical newspapers and current news sources together in one integrated interface, users enjoy a unique, deep and seamless research experience.

Whichever of these two possibilities prevails, both possibilities require the courts to perform essentially legislative functions regardless, in other words, of whether public ecological resources receive insufficient or ample protection from private enterprise that wants to consume them. The traditional Takings Clause precedents, on the other hand, would give public ecological resources and private property ample protection with minimum judicial oversight. The traditional position seems preferable for this reason.

Banks have been asked by Reserve Bank of India in an informal communication to stay away from dealing with bitcoin / cryptocurrency exchanges in India. All Indian banks are no longer allowing the users to deposit or withdraw money to their banks. All the cryptocurrency exchanges in India were raided by tax department last month where they took data of all users for hiding the wealth from the government and not paying taxes on the capital gains.
The Reserve Bank of India has given out multitude warnings to users and bitcoin dealers to stop cryptocurrency trading but many have asked government to make concrete rules. The government even set up a panel to explore possibilities of regulating the cryptocurrency trading in India. The panel told the government to instead ban bitcoin in India. In the report, they mentioned about fake ICOs (hirebits ICO) and coins (Obizcoin, BuyUCoin, BFXcoin etc) that were made specifically to fool the Indian trader.
That being said, an official statement about ban or making the cryptocurrencies illegal in India is yet to be made public. The exchanges made full use of this opportunity and got thousands of registrations everyday. Now, they are blaming the government for telling the banks to disable withdrawals and deposits.

If you think this Borek looks stunning, just wait until you taste it!! Flaky filo pastry is wrapped around a spiced lamb filling dotted with pine nuts and currants, then curled into a charming spiral. Borek is found in different guises and goes by various names – burek, bourekas, byrek etc. But the thing they all have in common? They’re all irresistible!
Savoury pastries are hard to beat. It explains why pretty much every nation on earth seems to boast at least one kind they’re fiercely proud of. Borek is a pastry that gets so much love it can be found in not one but a swathe of countries, spanning the Balkans and Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey, all the way to Armenia and North Africa – the Borek Belt!
This deliciously flaky, baked pastry comes stuffed with different fillings. It might be meat, vegetables, potato, cheese or some combination. The shape also varies depending where it’s made. Sometimes they are flat pastries, sometimes a log shape and other times resemble a pie.
Sometimes they also come in a charmingly rustic coil shape which is what I’ve chosen today. The filling for this one is Spiced Lamb. It’s a mince filling flavoured with an intoxicating mix of gentle spices, and studded with currants for sweet pops as well as pine nuts for a little nutty crunch. The smell that will waft through your house as they bake will make your mouth water, and leave you desperately battling the urge to stop at one mouthful as you’re “just checking for seasoning” … !
If you make this and this happens to you, tell me in the comments below so I know it’s not just me!!! 😂
What you need to make Lamb Borek
We can break this down into following parts:
Spiced lamb filling with currants and pine nuts;
Borek pastry assembling; and
Lemon and yoghurt sauce
1. Lamb filling ingredients
Notes on a few of the ingredients:
Lamb mince – Lamb is a protein often favoured in the parts of the world Borek is found. The rich and distinct flavour of lamb with the spices gives this Borek its signature flavour that will transport you to the streets of Istanbul or Belgrade … like back in those days when we could freely travel!
Substitute with beef. The recipe will also work with chicken and turkey, but you’ll probably need to add a pinch more of each spice.
Tomato passata – Pureed, strained tomatoes, sometimes labelled Tomato Puree in the US (here’s a photo of Mutti Tomato Passata sold at Walmart). Readily available in Australian supermarkets nowadays, alongside pasta sauces.
Spice mix – All spices you can find at everyday super markets!
Currants – This can be substituted with raisins or sultanas. If using these, they are best chopped as they are a little larger than currants.
Pine nuts – These add that sweet, creamy nuttiness that you only get from pine nuts! Pistachios would make a nice alternative.
2. Borek assembling ingredients
Here’s what we need to assemble the borek:
Filo pastry (aka phyllo pastry) – See below for tips on handling.
Yogurt egg wash – This is a mixture made with egg, butter and yoghurt that is brushed on each layer of filo to soften it so it doesn’t crack when rolled up into a coil. Having tried it with and without, even using a pliable refrigerated filo pastry (as opposed to the more brittle frozen-thawed variety), I can tell you that it’s absolutely necessary, it works, so do not skip it!
Topping – Butter for brushing to make the pastry golden, and sesame seeds for a traditional finish!
Filo pastry for borek (aka phyllo pastry)
Borek is made with filo pastry, the paper thin pastry that is mostly used layered to get the signature flakiness. Also known as phyllo pastry, it is used to make both savoury and sweet pastries in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, such as Baklava and Spanakopita.
It comes frozen or fresh, in the fridge section of grocery stores. I recommend getting fresh filo. It’s more pliable and easier to work with. See below for more on this.
Tips for handling filo pastry
I know some people are a bit intimidated by the thought of working with filo pastry. It can be prone to breaking if not handled correctly. But if you follow a few simple steps, there’s nothing tricky about it at all!
Fridge (ie. fresh) filo pastry is easier to handle – It’s more pliable than frozen-then-thawed, so you don’t need to be as careful handling it. Find it in the fridge section of grocery stores, usually alongside fresh pasta;
If using frozen filo pastry – Thaw overnight in the fridge. Never try to speed up thawing by placing in a warm environment. It dries the pastry out and makes it brittle so it tends to shatter;
Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes beforehand – Whether using frozen thawed or fresh. Bringing it to room temperature makes it more pliable and therefore easier to handle;
Keep the phyllo pastry covered with a slightly damp tea towel to ensure it doesn’t dry out; and
Handle like tissue paper, ie. with fairy fingers. Don’t manhandle it like a slice of ham!
Part 3: Lemon Yoghurt Sauce
And lastly, here’s what we need for the lemon yoghurt sauce served with the borek:
How to make Borek
This section is broken up into the following parts:
Making the spiced lamb filling;
Mixing the yoghurt wash that stops the filo pastry from cracking;
Rolling the lamb filled tubes;
Assembling and baking the borek; and
Eating! (The best part!)
Part 1: Filling
Start with the filling first so it has time to cool while you prepare the other components.
Toast the pine nuts in a skillet (no oil needed) over medium heat until it’s lightly golden. When ready, immediately remove the pine nuts from the skillet.
Cook lamb – Sauté the onion and garlic in a skillet over high heat. Then add the lamb and cook it, breaking it up as you go, until it changes from pink to brown.
Cook spices – Once the lamb is mostly brown, add the spices and prepare yourself for some amazing smells!!! Cooking off the spices is always a good thing where possible because it brings out the flavour.
Simmer then cool – Add the currants, pine nuts, tomato passata and water then give it a good stir. Cook on low for 5 minutes or until the liquid mostly reduces. The goal: A juicy filling that’s not watery, else it will soak the delicate filo pastry.
Cool – Once the filling is ready, remove the skillet from the stove and let it cool. Hot filling inside pastry will steam and make the pastry soggy, so cooling is essential!
While the pastry is cooking, start preparing the other components.
Part 2: Yoghurt wash for filo pastry
As mentioned above, a simple egg, yoghurt and butter mixture lightly brushed on the surface of the filo pastry will stop it from cracking when you roll and coil the pastry. You will still have a crispy top because we only brush the yoghurt between the layers of filo. Indeed we will brush the top with butter to make the surface nice and crispy!
Mix – Simply place the yoghurt, butter and egg in a small bowl or jug and mix to combine. The mixture will look curdled but this is normal.
Reheat if needed – The yoghurt wash will look a bit split and lumpy when the butter becomes cold. If it gets a bit thick to easily brush onto the delicate filo pastry, just microwave briefly to warm it so it loosens up.
Just warm, not hot. If it’s too hot, it “melts” the filo pastry, making it sticky and difficult to work with.
Part 3: Preparing filo layers
Prepare filo pastry – Unwrap and unroll the filo pastry. Peel off one layer and place on a work surface. Cover the remaining filo pastry with a damp, lightweight tea towel so it doesn’t dry out (unless you’re a speedy borek rolling master!).
Brush with yoghurt wash – Dip a pastry brush into the yoghurt wash, then flick it across the surface of the filo pastry. Place one hand on the filo pastry to hold it in place and use the other to lightly brush the yoghurt wash across the surface. You don’t need to be 100% thorough here, it’s not a painting competition! Just as long as the surface areas is mostly covered, that’s sufficient.
Repeat – Top with another sheet of filo pastry, then repeat the drizzle and flick with yoghurt wash, and brushing on the pastry.
Four layers of filo – Each Borek log needs 4 layers of filo pastry. Brush the yoghurt wash between each layer, but don’t brush the final layer.
Part 4: Fill and roll
Fill – Place 1/3 of the lamb mixture across the bottom of the filo pastry, using a butter knife to shape it and push in pesky runaway bits.
Roll – Now roll up the filo pastry into a log. It doesn’t need to be super tight. In fact, it’s supposed to be fairly loose. But the looser the roll is, the harder it is to handle when moving/coiling. So aim for something in between!
A tip for rolling: A kitchen knife, ruler or similar long and thin object is helpful to lift the long edge of the filo pastry to start the rolling. You’ll see me using a knife in the recipe video below.
Make three rolls total – Repeat the process of the filo egg wash layering > filling > roll to make 3 rolls in total.
Now, spiral-forming time!
Part 4: Making the Borek spiral
The trick to easily transfer the assembled Borek spiral into the baking vessel is to assemble it on paper and slide it in. So we’ll form the shape on a sheet of baking paper.
Spiral – Place one Borek log on a sheet of baking / parchment paper.
Roll into spiral – Roll the borek into a fairly loose coil that’s touching but not squished.
Look Ma, the filo pastry didn’t crack! That’s the yoghurt wash at work! Wa-hey!
Join on another log – Get another log and attach it to the end of the first one to keep extending the spiral. Do this by stuffing the end of one roll inside the end of the other. Using a bit of yoghurt wash to help them adhere. Then continue wrapping it around the existing spiral to continue. Repeat with the 3rd log.
Finish spiral – Once you’ve done the the third log and finished your spiral, stand back and admire your work. Now, it’s time to bake!
Part 4: Baking the Borek
Skillet for baking (or other dish) – My 26cm / 10.5″ cast iron skillet is the perfect size to fill with a Borek spiral made with 3 sheets of filo pastry. Any similar sized round baking dish such as a tart pan or large pie dish will work just fine.
You can even free-form it on a baking tray because Borek will not spread when baking.
Whatever you use for your baking vessel, brush it with melted butter so the borek doesn’t stick. It would be a crying shame if the pastry gets stuck to the skillet after all that work!!
Transfer to skillet – Use the paper to pick up the Borek and place it in the skillet. Then use your hands to slide the paper out from underneath.
I tried a few methods for the transferring move, and this was by far the easiest. Don’t try assembling the spiral in the skillet – the delicate pastry will catch and tear on the oiled skillet as you slide it around to create the spiral.
For the record, I also tried making one thick log instead of a spiral. This works just fine and looks impressive when you’re making it. But it does require a deft touch when rolling. You’d think it’s easier than a spiral but actually it’s harder because filo pastry is quite delicate!
Butter and sesame seeds – Brush the Borek surface with cooled melted butter, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake 40 minutes – Bake for 40 minutes until golden. Remember the filling is cooked so we’re just heating it through and cooking the pastry, so it’s done when the pastry has bronzed.
Part 5: Serving borek
Slice – To serve, cut wedges like a pie. It looks so impressive when you pull a slice out to reveal the cross section with the juicy, spiced lamb filling. And the smell!!! And the taste! The world will stop turning for a moment. There may be guest applause. No, there will be applause. And you will totally deserve the ovation, because look at that thing. So lap it up!
Yoghurt sauce – This lamb Borek recipes comes with a simple Lemon Yoghurt Sauce which compliments the spicing of the lamb filling beautifully. Made simply with yoghurt, lemon, garlic and extra virgin olive oil, just mix and set aside for 20 minutes to let the flavours meld. Then let people help themselves!
What to serve with Borek
Borek is good served hot, warm or even at room temperature. It makes a delicious snack or picnic food, but of course can happily star as a meal in itself!
For this rich, meat-filled pastry, a fresh salad with crisp vegetables makes an ideal partner. Given the provenance of Borek, think Mediterranean or Middle Eastern and you can’t go wrong. Here are some on-theme suggestions, as well as some great all-rounders that work with “everything”:
Sides for Borek
Love to know if you try this…. tell me if you nail the spiral!! – Nagi x
Watch how to make it
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion , finely diced (1 small or 1/2 a large)
- 2 garlic cloves , finely minced
- 600g / 1.2 lb lamb mince (ie. ground lamb, or substitute beef)

- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/4 tsp salt (cooking / kosher salt, OR 1 tsp table salt)
- 1/3 cup currants (or raisins or sultanas, roughly chopped)
- 1/3 cup pine nuts , toasted (Note 1)
- 1 cup tomato passata (tomato puree in US, Note 2)
- 1/4 cup water
Yogurt wash for filo (stops cracking):
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp plain yogurt
- 30g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter , melted
- 12 sheets phyllo pastry (Note 3)
- 25g / 1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter , melted and cooled
- White sesame seeds (optional)
Lemon Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 tsp garlic , finely grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Cook onion and garlic: Heat oil on high in a large skillet. Cook onion and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
- Cook lamb and spices: Add lamb and cook lamb, breaking it up as you go, until mostly changes from pink to brown. Then add all the spices and cook for 1 minute.
- Simmer: Add tomato passata and water, mix. Then add currants and pine nuts. Bring to simmer, turn heat down to medium low and cook until liquid reduces so the mixture is moist but not watery.
- Cool: Remove from stove and allow to fully cool before using.
Lemon Yogurt Sauce:
- Mix ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 390°F (180°C fan).
- Yogurt Wash (Note 4): Mix ingredients until combined.
- Prepare filo: Open the filo pastry packet and unroll the pastry. Peel one layer off and place on a piece of baking / parchment paper. Cover the remainder with a lightweight damp tea towel to stop them from drying out.
- Brush with yogurt wash: Drizzle / flick yogurt wash across filo using a pastry brush. Then lightly brush across surface in a thin layer. You don't need to cover every inch, just mostly cover the surface.
- Layer filo: Top with another filo pastry sheet, and brush this too with yogurt wash. Then repeat so you have 4 layers in total, but do not brush the last (4th) filo with yogurt wash once laid.
- Fill and roll: Place 1/3 of the Lamb filling along the bottom edge. Using the aid of a long kitchen knife to get it started, roll up into a log. Doesn't need to be tight and don't try, as the pastry is delicate.
- Make 3 logs: Repeat to make 3 logs, using all the Filling.
Shape into spiral and bake:
- Spiral: Take one log and place on a piece of baking / parchment paper. Coil into a spiral. Join a second log to the first by stuffing the ends inside each other, using yogurt wash to adhere. Continue forming the spiral. Log sides should be in contact but not tightly squished.
- Transfer to baking vessel: Brush a 26cm / 10.5″ cast iron skillet (Note 5) with melted butter. Then use the paper to transfer the borek into the skillet, and slide the paper out.
- Brush with butter: Brush the top with butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until pastry is golden.
- Serve! Remove from oven. Cut wedges like pie. Serve with Lemon Yogurt Sauce!

St. Paul, MN—(October 25, 2017) — Hybrid additive manufacturing machines combine some degree of layer-by-layer building using an additive process with conventional subtractive machining. For example, the idea behind the Matsuura LUMEX Avance-25, which offers laser metal sintering via a Yb fiber laser and high-speed milling, is to speed the production of primarily mold and die components.
Laser sintering adds layers of material, and the machine’s milling spindle subsequently machines the material to ensure a quality surface finish. Producing mold cores and cavities in this way leverages additive’s capabilities to produce molds with conformal cooling channels, and to make sintering density changes in molding applications that require placement of porous structures to facilitate gas venting. In addition, laser sintering enables deep features to be produced by building them one layer at a time, eliminating the need to burn them via EDM.
Matsuura has since introduced a larger model, the Matsuura LUMEX Avance-60, which opens this technology to bigger applications in new industries, such as aerospace and automotive. This model accommodates a maximum XYZ workpiece size of 600 × 600 × 500 mm (compared to 260 × 260 × 100 mm for the Matsuura Lumex Avance-25 model) and maximum weight of 1,300 kg. It also has a 1-kW Yb fiber laser source compared to 400 W for the Matsuura LUMEX Avance-25 model, increasing sintering speed. Its milling spindle ranges to 45,000 rpm and automatic toolchanger carousel has the capacity to hold 20 tools (maximum tool diameter is 10 mm).
The eight-cylinder engine block on display at the Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF) shows one possible application of this technology, although it was just a partial build, in part, to show areas where the additive process was able to reduce weight. An entire 9.6-kg version of this engine block produced from AlSi10Mg material (including supports) was completed in 95 hours (90 hours for sintering and 5 hours for milling). Total production time, including support design, programming, fixture design/manufacturing, setup, and so on was 15 days. Although this might sound like a long time, company tests on a five-axis machining center showed it would take approximately 22 days to machine the engine block from a solid blank, including time for fixture design/manufacturing, programming, machine setup and so on.
The Matsuura LUMEX Avance-60 at the show also included the company’s automatic powder recovery (APR) system that filters unused powder via a sieve and collects it in a tank. That powder is automatically delivered back to the machine for reuse. A range of powder materials are available from the company, including maraging steel, TI6A4V titanium, 630 and 316L stainless steels, cobalt chrome superalloy, nickel 718 and AlSi10Mg.

If you’re trying to increase your leadership skills, a good place to start is with honesty. A leader should always lead group members in a positive direction. Your followers will see your honesty and will appreciate it. You being honest also encourages others to be honest, too.
Some people are leaders and others are followers. Although there are lots of people who follow that would also like to become leaders. However, a lot of people really don’t know what goes into being in charge of things. Leadership is an art form that few have mastered. Read this article to learn more about becoming a leader.
The best leaders are able to foster creativity in others. Creative thinking can help expand your company. Always be curious and explore new possibilities. Take chances and try new things once in a while. This ensures all ideas are shared.
Honesty is always the perfect starting point for any decent leader. You should always lead people toward the right thing, as a leader. If you are open with them, they will respect you more. Subordinates will also be influenced to be more honest as well.
Always adhere to high ethical standards when handling customers and employees. A truly successful business is an ethical one. If customers feel you keep their interests in mind, they are far more likely to remain loyal to you. You can make sure that your employees follow the rules if you develop a company policy on ethics.
Do what you can to keep things simple while you’re a leader. Focus on the really important things. After that, set priorities. The work needs to be as simplified as possible. Also set some time aside for thinking and brainstorming.
Set goals for your whole business. Everybody wants to pursue something, and leaders can pose annual goals for their employees. Don’t just set some goals up and then forget about them later. Hold monthly meetings to make sure everyone is still on track and working towards the desired goal.
Honesty is probably the most important leadership quality to have. A leader has to be trustworthy. While you build your skills in leadership, try to keep a precedent of trustworthiness and honesty. When people believe that they can rely on your word, they will also respect you more as their leader.
Proper leadership requires absolute integrity. Honestly and striving to always do what is right at all times, is what sets you apart from other people. People find it difficult to trust people with no integrity. Leading with integrity helps assure that your team respects and trusts you.
Focus on the future. You should be able to anticipate what will happen next and be ready for it. You aren’t always going to see the future, but it is critical that you work on this skill more and more. Set goals for yourself and develop a plan to achieve them.
Work on improving your decisiveness. Great leaders are usually good at making decisions. Risk taking along with good decision making goes hand in hand. If you are able to make good decisions in short periods of time, others are going to admire your wisdom. Never question your choices after they are made. Realize that not all ideas will work out but that you can learn from every experience.
Leaders can find the talent in their team. It should be easy to determine who benefits you the most, when you are looking for helpers. This principle extends to hiring contractors or service providers in your personal life.
Being a good leader means that you’re going to have a lot of demands put on you. It can be hard to do anything other than lead sometimes. Keep in mind that being well-rounded and happy will make you a better leader. Do your best to enjoy other areas of life.
When exercising leadership, keep morals at the forefront. Ensure that your decisions won’t keep you up at night. If a decision is going to upset you or stress you out, consider not choosing that direction. Even if others would make the decision anyway, you have to do what feels right to you.
Do a good job of organizing work, and give everyone high standards for performance. As the leader, when you’re not organized, others will follow suit. When you are clear about what has to be done your business will enjoy greater productivity.
Now that you’ve gone over what it takes to be a good leader, you can start putting in the work it takes. When you are confident, others will be confident in you. Use the information you have just read to help you become the best leader you can be. You can be successful, and others can help you get there.
Try to leave a solid first impression. Remember that your first impressions are the ones that linger in other peoples minds, making it essential that you get off on the right foot. You can quickly become a trusted leader if you gain respect from the beginning.

Congratulations has been extended to local author Dr Colum Hourihane of St Finbarr’s Terrace whose book, Bantry through the Centuries, was officially launched at Bantry Tourist Office last week. Colum is the youngest son of the late Jimmy and Nancy Hourihane and brother of Desmond, Kevin and James, all of whom are distinguished themselves.
Colum did his masters in Archeology in UCC and from there went on to the Courtauld Institute of Art in London where he was awarded a PhD in 1984. The Iconography of Medieval Gothic Irish Art was subsequently published by Yale University Press at Gothic Irish Art. After working there for fifteen years, Column then went to Princeton University as the director of the Index of Christian Art where he stayed until retirement. Now that Colum has retired, he is researching subjects that he wants to. Colum was not only awarded a PhD from Courtauld in 1984, but was also elected as a FSA (fellow of the society of antiquaries of London, Burlington House) and elected a member of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin about three years ago.
Bantry through the Centuries was a mammoth undertaking which took Colum four years to research the 800 pages of excellently documented history and facts of the town and the information is interspersed with beautiful photos from long ago. Colum was given access to Paddy O’Keeffe’s photographic collection about three years ago and since then has added to the archive. Donal O’Connor’s archive in Glengarriff Road was also offered to Colum and he used many photos from that resource in the book. Colum has edited over thirty different books and has authored seven books, many of which have to do with Irish art and its place in the art of Europe in the Middle Ages.
Bantry through the Centuries is available for sale at Bantry Bookshop and at Bantry Tourist Office.
