A consensus conference is a formal public meeting, which gives the general public the chance to contibute to and be involved in the assessment of an issue or proposal. The conference is generally about providing a forum for dialogue between experts and citizens.
The objective of a consensus conferences is to provide members of the broader community the opportunity to share their views on community issues as well as increasing their awareness of and ability to participate in such a discussion.
"The citizen panel plays the leading role, formulating questions to be taken up at the conference, and participating in the selection of experts to answer them. The panel has two weekends for this preparation. The expert panel is selected in a way that ensures that essential opposing views and professional conflicts can emerge and be discussed at the conference. An advisory/planning committee has the overall responsibility of making sure that all rules of a democratic, fair and transparent process have been followed. Consensus conferences have mostly been used where the topic being investigated concerns management, science or technology. They require a strict adherence to the rules of implementation to be successful. Where members of the community feel their views go unheard, the consensus conference offers an exciting participatory technique for democratic participation.
Do you have an example of where this option has been used?
Advice for CHOOSING this Option (tips and traps)
- Assists in the facilitation of public debate from a range of perspectives.
- Empowers lay people to develop an informed understanding and make some contribution to the development of policy on a sensitive topic.
- Demonstrates a plurality of views on issues.
- Bridges the gap between experts and lay people.
- Can develop new knowledge.
There are also high costs for set up and recruitment of participants and staging the event that need to be considered before choosing this option and the formal nature of the tool can restrict impartiality.
Advice for USING this Option (tips and traps)
- Choice of an effective facilitator is critical to the success of the conference.
- The process of panelist selection can be difficult. Stakeholders’ analysis must be undertaken to predetermine who are the relevant groups. This will ensure that representation from the relevant groups is achieved.
- Need to draw citizens for panels that are representative and from a wide range of backgrounds rather than members of the community who are usually present in participatory processes.
- Strict adherence to the rules of implementation is required for the conference to be successful.
- Rapid production of reports and findings is required.
This advice is taken from: Department of Sustainability and Environment (2005), Book 3: The Engagement Toolkit.Effective Engagement: building relationships with community and other stakeholders, The Community Engagement Network Resource and Regional Services Division Victorian Government Department of Sustainability and Environment.
- Book 3 The Engagement Toolkit: Pages 26-27 of this extensive guide book provides a detailed overview of using community fairs for stakeholder engagement.

“In the first couple of decades after independence, India was an under developed country leading a ‘ship-to-mouth’ existence, by importing food from the U.S. under the somewhat unpalatable PL480 scheme. The situation was not very different when I came back to India in 1971” said Prof M Vijayan, an INSA Albert Einstein Research Professor at the Molecular Biophysics Unit, Indian Institute of Science.
Prof Vijayan has been examining the structure of molecules that are found in living systems all his life. After playing a role in deciphering the structure of insulin at Nobel Laureate Dorothy Hodgkin’s lab at Oxford, Prof Vijayan was “the first trained protein crystallographer to return to India, to the Indian Institute of Science”, as he writes in a conference paper in the journal Pure and Applied Chemistry.
“People who went abroad at that time reacted differently to the contrast between India and other countries, which was pronounced at that time”, said Prof Vijayan. “Some of us came back. Science was a great motivation, but India was equally a great motivation.”
Crystallography is the examination of the inner structure of materials and molecules. The most preferred tool to examine the structure of large biological molecules involves firing X-rays at crystals of the molecule and studying how the rays get scattered, by examining the diffraction pattern. When Prof Vijayan returned to India, he wanted to initiate studies on “macromolecular crystallography”.
The technique began to take the scientific world by storm in the 1960s and1970s; but, it was expensive and there was not enough funding in India to devote to it at that time. “For me, it was a conscious decision to come back and establish this branch of science in India,” said Prof Vijayan.
So, Prof Vijayan diverted his attention to another, equally fascinating field: the study of interaction between molecules, now called “supramolecular associations”. Working along with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), he was involved with research into chemical evolution and the origin of life on earth.
It was only in 1983, a full 12 years after his return to India, that Prof Vijayan could return to pursue his dream of starting off crystallography research in India. The Department of Science and Technology designated crystallography as a thrust area, and a centre was setup at IISc. The Bangalore centre was visualised as a nucleus for the development of this research area in the country.
Prof Vijayan started with plant proteins called lectins. “In 1978, I met a young Avadesha Surolia [now a faculty member at Molecular Biophysics Unit], who was interested in the functions of proteins called lectins,” said Prof Vijayan. Lectins are proteins found in plants, which can bind to carbohydrates in a very specific manner.
Starting with the structure of peanut lectin, Prof Surolia and Prof Vijayan started examining the hitherto under explored research area. The rich diversity of crops in India provided them with more than enough research material.
At the turn of the century, Prof Vijayan decided to take up a research topic of extreme relevance to India and the world at large: an investigation of the proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes the disease tuberculosis.
Prof Vijayan’s students are now spread in many of India’s leading institutions. He was part of the nucleus for the Molecular Biophysics Unit, a department of international standing. A fitting legacy indeed.

You love playing your instrument and you know the challenge of learning a new sonata or samba is a great way to unwind, but your biggest challenge is finding time to practice in the first place.
Here are 11 ways to juggle life with your music time so you can always have music in your life.
1) Track Your Time.
Before you begin trying to manage your time better, take time to figure out where your time goes. Keep a log for one week of how much time you are spending on various tasks. Try to guess how long a task will take before you begin. You will probably be surprised at how much time is wasted in any given day.
2) Set Priorities and Goals.
What are the most important things you need to accomplish in any given day? If you make your music as much a priority as eating dinner and walking the dog, you will be less likely to let something else get in the way of your practice time. What is your musical goal for this week, month, or year?
3) Own Your Time.
Do not allow others to make commitments of your time without your permission. Before you grant permission be sure to understand how much of your time any commitment will take. Carefully choose the tasks you want to invest your time in, and learn to say “no.”
4) Delegate and Buy Time.
Don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. What tasks could other members of your family help you with? Are there some tasks (such as lawn care or housecleaning) that you could be paying someone else to do?
5) Accept Imperfection.
Doing an “OK” job is fine sometimes. Many tasks can be streamlined if this principle is followed. A task can also be finished later or tomorrow if there is something more important that needs your attention.
Set up a filing system and keep a family calendar. Organize closets and other storage areas, and set up a simple filing system. Set up your entranceway so it is easy to find your purse, briefcase, keys, practice bag, instrument, and so forth. The more organized you are the less time will be wasted looking for things.
7) Do It Now.
When you find yourself procrastinating, take time to think about why. Are you afraid of failure or is it just an unpleasant task? Come up with a series of steps to accomplishing the task and start by completing just one of the steps. The satisfaction from completing that step will energize you to complete the job.
8) Work with Your Internal Clock.
Are you a morning person, a night person, or do you have an energy spurt every afternoon? Figure out what time a day you are most efficient and schedule the most difficult tasks during that time.
Okay, you may not be able to practice your saxophone while waiting for your daughter at the dance studio, but why not bring your score with you and read through the music visually. Bring a pencil and annotate trouble spots. Practice moving your fingers through difficult sections. You will be surprised how much more efficient your next practice session becomes.
Make a daily schedule that includes a slot dedicated to practicing your instrument. Make sure your family understands that this time is critically important to you and will only be changed in case of emergency. And then stick to it!
11) Keep It Set.
Maintain a spot in your house dedicated to your hobby. In your music room (or music corner) keep your instrument, music, and accessories ready to go. Setting up can take a while, and eat into precious playing time. Remember, many short practice sessions (10 to 20 minutes) are better than one or two long ones (an hour or more).

The following charts are based on the data found at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ and represent a trend if there were no intervention. That is an important caveat, as the pictures might be otherwise alarming.
First: Fit the raw data to a curve. This is not necessarily the best fit. I fit a curve to each two points from first major spike (02 MAR 2020) to the next to most-recent data point. I compared each such exponential curve to all others to find the best (least-squares) fit. The resulting curve looks to be a pretty good fit.
Second: What do we do with models? We make predictions. Again, this is assuming that NO INTERVENTIONS have taken place. Certainly they have. While nearly nothing has been done by the hamstrung Federal agencies, states, cities, and private companies have been forced to take the reins. Hopefully we will start to see results soon. But for the time being, we probably won’t see too much change in the next week. So this might be an accurate look.
Third: Hopefully, the non-Federal agencies’ efforts will have begun to pay off. If not, we could begin to expect something like this in two weeks.
Fourth: I want to make it absolutely clear that I do not expect this to happen. The Federal organizations will have begun to overcome the sabotage of their capabilities, and state and local organizations will likely have become more efficient. Additionally, at this point, the ocean may no longer be considered infinite. That is to say, as a significant fraction of the population is exposed, the curve must begin to level off. A large fraction will have recovered and will no longer be contagious. A smaller number will have died and will also no longer be contagious. And multiple exposures to an individual from different sources will still only net a single potential infection in that person. That said, this is the point when out health care system would become extremely taxed.
Perhaps tomorrow, I will look at the relative success of South Korea to see the upper end of our optimism.

What an amazing writer is David Shepherd! He is creative, prolific, delightful, and diverse (homilies, autobiographies, children’s Bible stories, and detective stories–often with naughty bits as well as who-done-its). I am honored to have his books on my library shelf. Thank you for your inspiration and wit, David. I remain in awe.
Yesterday I heard part of a the TED Radio Hour and was intrigued by the ideas discussed, “How Things Spread.” While I was tickled by the recordings of laughter in “Why is Laughter Contagious?” presented by Sophie Scott, I was intrigued by a word in Seth Godin’s “What Makes an Idea Go Viral?”—-“remarkable.”
In the show, Seth explained that in addition to meaning “Neat!” “remarkable means ‘worth making a remark about’ and that is the essence of where idea diffusion is going.” The host summarizes “that ideas spread faster when the people that you like talk about them.” Seth says ideas spread when it’s “giving people a tool that they can share and benefit from.”
“Marketing used to make average products for average people. That’s what mass marketing is. They would ignore the geeks and, God-forbid, the laggards. It was all about going for the center. I don’t think we go for that strategy anymore. Instead you have to find a group that really desperately cares about what it is you have to say; talk to them. They have what I call ‘otaku‘” [an obsession]. He goes on to explain that to spread an idea/product/etc without a constituency with an otaku is essentially impossible. People only tell their friends about things they care or are obsessed about.
(I was concerned of course that he says that the people who get others to spread their ideas “win,” but in fairness he is interested in this topic because he is a marketeer and that sounds like creating-desire-in-people-to-buy-things-they-don’t-really-want-or-need. So that’s me. Still, I too am interested in understanding why some ideas spread and others do not. And, again in fairness, he does talk about ideas and concepts as well as products.)
He goes on to compare the spread of ideas with the spread of disease. Patterns in epidemiology are similar for ideas. And even with all of this, having something go viral is not easy: “We are better in the rearview mirror than we are predicting.”
I am interested in these ideas especially around introducing the Salon Postisme Suite of Fictions to readers, not as commodity books but as fictions with strands of ideas worthy of reflection/consideration. More on that soon…
Things are a little messy currently on my blog–sorry! I am finding some duplication of posts and pages as well as the reappearance of the occasional old news resurfacing; funny things happen sometimes when you move content to a new location. I hope to tidy things up so the past posts are more accessible.
From Jennifer Michael Hecht’s book “Stay”:
“None of us can truly know what we mean to other people, and none of us can know what our future self will experience. History and philosophy ask us to remember these mysteries, to look around at friends, family, humanity, at the surprises life brings — the endless possibilities that living offers — and to persevere. There is love and insight to live for, bright moments to cherish, and even the possibility of happiness, and the chance of helping someone else through his or her own troubles. Know that people, through history and today, understand how much courage it takes to stay. Bear witness to the night side of being human and the bravery it entails, and wait for the sun. If we meditate on the record of human wisdom we may find there reason enough to persist and find our way back to happiness. The first step is to consider the arguments and evidence and choose to stay. After that, anything may happen. First, choose to stay.”
Read the final chapter here and listen to Krista’s interview with the philosopher-poet here.
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save. – Mary Oliver
“To laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child a garden patch or redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.”
-–Bessie A. Stanley (often misattributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson–http://emerson.tamu.edu/Ephemera/Success.html)
…Happy New Year!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!
Annie Leonard has done it again…another terrific way to learn how to be a better consumer. Share it with others!
…you’ve got to watch this video of Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard brain scientist, describe the experience of having a stroke. Listen to what she says about the left and right sides of the brain…and where the potential to become perceptive lies.
You can read more at her web site.
It begins with the life of William in Malawi and ends with how his curiosity and persistence led to life changing events. And all of it is wondrous. From the descriptions of his village and the people who live there to the story of how his father met his mother to the devastating famine in Malawi to the creation of his own windmill, the story is told simply and tenderly. It ends with an update on William’s life and how his own ingenuity is allowing him to flourish and to assist his village as well.
I couldn’t help but marvel at what it took for William to build the windmill that generates electricity. He had only a book or two from the three shelf local library’s, and none was a “how-to” manual. He used scraps of metal and wood cleverly and was often forced to substitute one seemingly irreplaceable component with something rough. He didn’t discover electricity…but he did find a way to create it using only the simplest of materials. His first public description of how he did what he did: “I try, and I made it!” And that creation has taken him into the wide world.
He has now been many places describing his innovations and serving as an inspiration to others who have less. Perhaps the most important consequences of his travels have been his validation by others and his realization of how other cultures developed: “Seeing this, it gave me even more confidence that we Africans can develop our continent if we just put our minds and abundant resources together and stop waiting on others to do it for us.”
Yesterday I attended a luncheon held by a new friend that I haven’t known very long and don’t yet know very well. The invitation read:
I’m organizing a lunch for the most interesting women I’ve met recently on Sept 25 (Friday) at my house. Could you come? As it turns out, I think that none of the women know each other except for me! So it will be especially fun. Please say yes.
My response? “Of course! How could I decline?!”
I am really glad I went. We were ten and I, in fact, only knew one woman other than the hostess. And what a group they were: artists, statisticians, counselors, teachers, writers, volunteers, aging specialists, researchers, listeners, social activists…and that’s just what I remember from their personal descriptions. Wow!
The conversation was wide ranging with participation by the entire group; no one was silent. Each story stimulated a new story with no sense of one-upping. There were no awkward silences and yet no prompts were necessary. No one took over the floor but no one held back. The group was dynamic, interesting, and interested.
The meal was delightful: a composed salad of all sorts of vegetables and greens, crusty bread with butter, and a perfect dessert of vanilla custard with a chewy cookie. It looked so lovely on the table that we hardly wanted to sit down to devour it.
What a truly special event! I felt valued by someone that I knew only a little. And I felt honored to be included among such a fine group of self-aware, competent and articulate women.
Thank you, Gretchen.

A $196 tax on the world’s wealthiest fliers.
via Flickr user TravelingOtter
Taking a long airplane flight is one of the worst things you can do for the environment. In the U.S., domestic flights alone account for 6.4 percent of the country’s travel-related emissions, though car travel is far more prevalent. And a 2013 report found that if the global aviation industry were its own country, it would be ranked 7th in the world in carbon dioxide emissions—between Germany and South Korea. Of course, those emissions are a key ingredient in climate change: The more carbon released into the atmosphere, the hotter and more volatile the planet becomes.
Now the French economist Thomas Piketty has a plan to combat aviation emissions. Yes, that Thomas Piketty, whose book Capital became the surprise hit of 2014 and created an international dialogue about growing inequality. In a paper released earlier this month, Piketty and his Paris School of Economics colleague Lucas Chancel argue a levy against expensive airplane tickets could offset the price of climate adaptation.
The economists find that a $196 tax on business class airplane tickets, and a $21 tax on economy class ones, could raise the $160 billion needed each year to adapt the world to climate change.
“Taxing flights is one way to target high emitting lifestyles, especially if we tax business class more than economy class,” Chancel told Climate Home. “A tax on air tickets to finance development programs already exists in some countries. What we need is to increase its level and generalize it.”
via Flickr user Helmuts Guigo
The economists say the tax would be an easy, albeit imperfect, way to target the world’s top carbon emitters. Just 10 percent of the world’s population emits 45 percent of its carbon. These top emitters include U.S., EU, and Chinese citizens, but also super-rich residents of less developed countries like Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. Its the world’s poorest citizens, however, who stand to lose the most because of catastrophic climate change.
The paper presents other strategies to raise funds to offset climate change. One method would tax countries that simply produce more carbon than average. Another would only tax the top 1 percent of carbon emitters.
“Economic inequalities are reaching record high levels and reducing them constitutes a key challenge to policymakers in the coming decades,” Chancel told Climate Home. “It’s the same thing with carbon: another huge challenge that puts our societies at risk. If we fail to address both, our societies can collapse.”

The application of silicone in the automotive industry has four major functions: hose, sealing, bonding and filling. Silicone products are the key to ensuring the normal operation of the car, escorting the safety and durable use of the car, and are an indispensable part of the car.
1. Auto Silicone hoses: This must be known and understood. Gasoline/diesel cars have oil circuits, and glass water has water pipes. All need a silicone hose to transmit oil and water. The amount of the general car is not the same, but the common point is the same. The silicone hose is not a big piece for the whole car, but it is important or not. I think it is still very important. Yes, if it is damaged (common damage is what we call the bottom of the car), it is more troublesome to repair/replace, so we must cherish our car.
Water/air hose: Made of silicone hose, or EPDM rubber.
Fuel hose: made of fluorine rubber or chloroether rubber
2. Multi-function steering wheel buttons/window buttons: These parts are silicone buttons. Silicone has corresponding elasticity. The elasticity of each car may be different, but the function is the same, all use the buttons to operate a certain function on the car.
3. Oil seal/silicone sealing ring: There are many seals/rings in the car. It is common that our car needs to be maintained after driving for a period of time or kilometers. Does the maintenance staff need to lift the car up and unscrew the fuel tank to remove the old oil? Release it? Why doesn't the oil leak out? It's because there is a silicone waterproof sealing ring. Of course, there are also silicone rubber seals/rings in other places, such as the glass water tank, the booster fuel tank, the steering wheel, the engine, etc., but we are very It is rarely seen. Although they are in different "posts", their functions are basically the same, and they are used for oil-proof, waterproof, leak-proof and other sealing functions.
4. Car sealing strip: the black circle (and other colors) that can be seen when the car door is opened, this is the sealing strip. The door is the most common position we see, and there are other positions, such as: windows, seats , sunroof, trunk, etc. Their functions are generally reflected in: sound insulation, noise reduction, waterproof, dustproof, shock absorption, etc., automotive sealing strips have: good elasticity, anti-compression deformation, anti-aging and other advantages
5. Silicone shock-absorbing pads, the functions of silicone accessories on these cars are generally reflected in: sound insulation, noise reduction, waterproof, dustproof, shock absorption, etc.
6. Car mobile phone silicone pad: Each car is different, its location is also different, and its functions are also different. The general function is anti-slip.
7. Silicone wiper: generally made of silicone (some have rubber, the proportion is very small), maybe your wiper will not work for 1 month, others can be used for 6 months, the quality of the wiper is compared with the material big relationship.
8. Other Silicone parts: There are more or less silicone products in the braking system, chassis, rear-view mirror, engine periphery, etc., which may not matter to the whole car, but it is the benefit and significance of its existence. , I will not introduce too much about their respective functions and advantages here.
Silicone does not account for much in the entire car, and it has its value. As a silicone hose manufacturer, Orientflex has been specializing in the production of silicone auto hoses, environmentally friendly silicone auto hoses, automotive silicone auto parts, hot-selling silicone auto hoses. Fast shipping, and customized various personalized silicone products for 15 years.
We look forward your cooperation.

On June 21, the Supreme Court issued its holding on South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., reversing a long-standing rule on online sales tax collection in a decision that’s a win for real estate, brick-and-mortar retailers and the states. The case dealt with whether states can require out-of-state online retailers to charge and remit sales tax on purchases made by residents. Upending a long-held precedent, the Court ruled that the South Dakota law in question, which did just that, could stand, and that the previous doctrine controlling this issue no longer applies.
The Wayfair decision reverses a 1992 Supreme Court case, Quill Corporation v. North Dakota, which held that states couldn’t require remote sellers (at the time, catalog retailers) to collect state sales tax unless they had a “nexus” to the state via a physical presence within its borders. The decision also stated that “Congress may be better qualified to resolve ,” but in the 26 years since then, Congress failed to do so. This is despite bipartisan legislation being introduced each Congress. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), a member of the Marketplace Fairness Coalition and advocate for internet sales tax fairness, has long supported these measures. Though Congress came close at times, it was unable to get legislation on this issue signed into law. In the time that passed, as e-commerce grew, the issue only became more pronounced.
In the absence of Congressional action, the Wayfair decision opens the door for other states to enact similar laws to South Dakota’s, which will go a long way toward leveling the playing field between retailers regardless of where they exist. The majority opinion, written by Justice Kennedy, reflects on the changing nature of commerce in the 21st century, declaring that the physical presence test is out of date and that “economic and virtual contacts” with a state are enough to satisfy the nexus requirement.
For commercial real estate, the states and NAR, which have long been advocating for sales tax parity between online sellers and brick-and-mortar stores, this ruling is a victory. Main Street retailers are important to the communities they serve and are a crucial sector in commercial real estate. Competing against online retailers that offer goods at seemingly lower prices due to not charging sales tax has hurt their ability to grow, and, in some cases, resulted in them going out of business. In addition to leveling the playing field, the ruling will help states, which have struggled to make up for lost sales tax money, estimated to be billions of dollars each year. That money can be reinvested into infrastructure, schools, public works projects and other areas that make communities attractive and increase property values.
This ruling still limits states’ authority. The South Dakota law only requires sales tax collection by sellers delivering more than $100,000 of goods or services into the state, or engaging in 200 or more separate transactions for the delivery of goods or services per year. In addition, the decision included the requirement of “economic or virtual contacts,” which will likely be a source of debate between states and online retailers.
Overall, the Wayfair decision is a positive step on an issue that’s been stagnant and harmful to commercial real estate for many years. NAR joined two amicus briefs that were sent to the Court for this case, supporting the position, which ultimately prevailed. NAR is pleased with how the Supreme Court ruled, and looks forward to seeing Main Street businesses once again competing on a level playing field with e-commerce retailers.

U.S. farmers are expected to harvest their smallest winter wheat crop in more than a decade amid an ongoing drought that has devastated fields across the nation’s breadbasket and a global surplus of the grain that has depressed prices, according to USDA report.
U.S. soybean supplies are seen falling in the upcoming marketing year as domestic usage and exports are expected to remain strong even as production eases, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Domestic corn and wheat stocks are also expected to drop due to smaller harvests, according to the government's monthly supply and demand report. USDA, in its initial estimate of the 2018/19 marketing year, pegged soybean ending stocks at 415 million bushels, down from its forecast of 530 million bushels for 2017/18. Analysts' forecast for soybean ending stocks had ranged from 400 million to 715 million for 2018/19 and 495 million to 575 million for 2017/18, according to a Reuters survey.
For corn, USDA put ending stocks at 1.682 billion bushels for 2018/19 and 2.182 billion bushels for 2017/18, in line with market forecasts. Wheat ending stocks were seen at 955 million bushels for 2018/19 and 1.070 billion bushels for 2017/18, both of which were above the average of analysts' estimates. USDA pegged U.S. winter wheat production at 1.192 billion bushels, down 6 percent from a year ago, due to drought in key production states such as Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Harvested winter wheat acreage was seen falling to a record low of 24.8 million. The last time the nation’s farmers harvested such a small wheat crop was in 2002, when U.S. production fell to 1.137 billion bushels.
The government estimated the U.S. soybean harvest for 2018/19 at 4.280 billion bushels, down from 4.392 billion a year earlier. Soybean exports were seen rising to 2.290 billion bushels from 2.065 billion, while the domestic crush was projected to rise by 5 million bushels to 1.995 billion. The U.S. corn harvest was forecast at 14.040 billion bushels in 2018/19, down from 14.604 billion bushels in 2017/18. Exports were seen falling to 2.100 billion bushels from 2.225 billion bushels.

Hi there, and welcome to my weekly Robot Update. This is wear I do a round up of what is going on in the Robot news around the world, so stay tuned.
Hi Guys, I’m Philip English from robophil.com, and welcome to the Robot Weekly update number 13.
U.S. Navy unveils robotic firefighter
Shipboard procedures such as fire drills, on-board alarms and locking fire doors may have gone a long way to mitigating the danger of fire at sea, but the US Navy is looking at new technology to help it battle the threat. Its latest solution is to send fire-resistant metal men into the smoky, red- hot holds of its fire-stricken warships, throwing fire retarding grenades and assessing damage with a camera that can see through smoke. Called the Shipboard Autonomous Firefighting Robot (SAFFiR), the team at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) chose a humanoid-type robot as the best way of negotiating the narrow passageways, ladders and hatches (all designed for human mobility) of a modern ship. SAFFiR stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 143 pounds. The unique mechanism design on the robot equips it with super-human range of motion to maneuver in complex spaces. The team equipped the robot with a suite of sensors that include a camera, a gas sensor and a stereo infrared camera that will allow it to find its way through the choking black smoke that would deter human firefighters. Its upper body has been designed to manipulate fire suppressing equipment and even to throw propelled extinguishing agent (PEAT) grenades. The robot, say developers, can handle a fire hose on its own. With enough battery power for 30 minutes of firefighting, SAFFiR is capable of walking in all directions, balancing in rough seas, and stepping around obstacles.
Check In to Japan’s Creepy Robot Hotel
The robot will check you in, take your bags, and escort you to your room in a new Japanese hotel that hopes to free itself of human employees. The Henn-na Hotel, set in the middle of a theme park in Nagasaki, Japan, will become the first robot-staffed hotel when it opens this summer. These metal-and-silicone employees will speak and understand Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, ensuring that tourists near and far can interact with the startlingly human-like maids, receptionists, and porters. They look human, if a little addicted to Botox and fillers. The plans, announced by the Japanese government at the end of January, show off a prototype check-in counter lined with identical female bots.
Japan’s love hotels often don’t have human employees. “The point is that the customers
want the option of discretion and privacy from the moment they step inside. They get
their room code from a machine, and pay at a machine. The challenge now will be to see if robots can offer satisfactory customer service at the higher-end Henn-na Hotel. Only 10 of these robots will be deployed on launch—three at the front desk, four porters, one at coat check, and the rest to clean. Ten humans will accompany them for now, but the hotel says it hopes robots will someday comprise 90 percent of the staff. he company is banking on the robot draw, and its surprisingly low prices: Each room will start around $60 and will rise as demand does. They have little doubt that it will. A second structure that will double the available rooms is under construction for 2016, ready for the onslaught of visitors eager to test, taunt, and, likely, be outsmarted by their metallic soon-to-be overlords.
Hospitals cut costs with robots
Hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area are using robots called Tugs to take over many of the everyday tasks involved in tending to patients. The bots are programmed to deliver food and drugs, pick up waste and laundry, and
to travel the halls without crashing into people The University of California, San Francisco hospital recently began using the machines, and the nearby El Camino hospital has had a fleet since 2009. Hospital administrators say the rolling electronic porters can help bring down the “absurd” costs of healthcare in America mostly by limiting the ranks of hospital staff. The bots are not cutting existing jobs, but rather are redirecting human labor to more fulfilling tasks and saving hospitals from having to add additional staff.
The Tugs travel using maps loaded into their “brains” and have other features, such as biometric security measures, to ensure the drugs they carry reach only the right doctors. They are also built to be courteous—they beep softly as they roll down hallways to warn people of their approach. Human hospital workers have already begun giving the robots childlike monikers—naming them after fruit or Disney characters. Costumes matching the names may be on the way—one hospital is already seeking Disney’s permission to dress one up like a robot from the movie Wall-E.

You overhear them in the dining rooms, kitchens, and break rooms around this time every four years or so- sometimes more often in off-cycle election years. Political chit chatter between your employees. Sometimes, they even get heated and you begin to hear voices being raised. You might even notice employees avoiding others at the office who have expressed different political views as their own to “avoid trouble”.
From a Human Resources Management perspective, it’s important that you understand how to react. Political discussions at work can impact morale, teamwork, communications, and may even open up your company to liability if arguments get out of hand. My advice to you-
Don’t allow employees to play the “free speech” card at the office when you have a trump card in the law.
That’s right, I said it. Your employees’ free speech protections when it comes to these conversations ends at your company’s door step. The First Amendment of the constitution only guards against censorship by the Government. There is no Federal law protecting the expression of political views at private employers.
I stress private employers because while private employers can fire an employee whose speech they dislike- the First Amendment governs the circumstances under which public employers may discipline employees for their speech. The Supreme Court has also ruled that public employee speech involving matters of “public concern” constitutes protected speech under the First Amendment. Needless to say, there are many an argument that can be made for what vaguely constitutes public concern.
What Must You Know
From a political standpoint, here’s what you should know if you are a private employer conducting business in South Florida. In Florida, it’s a felony to “discharge or threaten to discharge any employee in his or her service for voting or not voting in any election, state, county, or municipal, for any candidate or measure submitted to a vote of the people.” Don’t ever fire or threaten to fire an employee for exercising their right to vote or to abstain from doing so.
Additionally, Political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression and age under 40 are prohibited under the Broward County Human Rights Ordinance. Yes, it is illegal to discriminate against someone when making a hiring decision in Broward county because of their political affiliation- don’t do it.
While you can limit political speech at the office as a private employer, do remember that the National Labor Relations Act states that “private employers cannot prohibit discussions about workplace conditions.” Translation, there are limits to your powers of silencing political speech at the office. Say for example, two or more of your employees are debating in the lunch room which political candidate or party would benefit them most as workers- they have a right to that conversation. In the event of a claim in this instance, they would argue it was concerted activity about workplace conditions- and more likely than not you would lose that case.
Got a question about the political chatter at your office during this election season? Don’t tackle it alone, reach out and let us help.

Mary’s Meals feeds 444 children every school day in Thailand!Published on
Life in Thailand
Thailand is currently ranked 79 out of 189 countries in the Human Development Index (HDI). Thailand is a country in southeast Asia, located at the centre of the Indochinese Peninsula and bordered by Myanmar to the north and west, Laos to the north and east, Cambodia to the southeast, and Malaysia to the south.
The population of Thailand has soared in the last century, from 20 million in 1950 to over 70 million today. Large numbers of vulnerable and displaced people from Myanmar arrive in Thailand suffering from acute food insecurity.

27 E-Lok Adalats dispose of 2.51 lakh cases this year
Twenty seven E-Lok Adalats were organized in 15 States leading to disposal of 2.51 lakh cases from June to October this year. Over 12,686 cases were disposed off during this month so far resulting in settlement of 107.4 crore rupees through E-Lok Adalat.
Legal Services Authorities creatively adapted to the new normal and moved Lok Adalat to the virtual platform. From June to October 2020, 4.83 lakh cases were taken up and 2.51 lakh cases disposed off resulting in settlement of 1409 crore rupees. To facilitate access to justice amidst the constraints placed by Covid-19 and various public health guidelines, the Legal Services Authorities have ingeniously integrated technology into conventional methods of justice delivery.
E- Lok Adalats are also cost-effective as it eliminates the need for organisational expenses. Organised by Legal Services Authorities, Lok Adalats (State as well as National) are an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mode wherein pre-litigation and pending cases in the courts are disposed on the basis of amicable settlement without any expense on the part of litigants.

ABOUT HORIZON EUROPE
Horizon Europe is considered the most ambitious Research and Innovation Funding Programme ever, with a budget of € 95,5 billion for the next seven years 2021-2027.
With this new Programme, the European Commission intends to consolidate the results reached with the previous Horizon 2020 and keep a primary role at world level in R&I.
Its general objective is to create a scientific, technological, economic and societal impact from the Union’s investments in R&I, in order to:
• support the EU’s scientific and technological excellence and strengthen the European Research Area [ERA];
• implement the EU policies while tackling global challenges [e.g. climate change, digital transition, and the Sustainable Development Goals];
• boost Europe’s innovation capacity, competitiveness and jobs.
Keeping a continuity with its predecessor Horizon 2020, but also introducing some novelty elements, the new Framework Programme aims in particular at improving:
• the implementation of the simplification process of rules for participation and dissemination of results;
• support breakthrough innovations with the introduction of European Innovation Council [EIC];
• the promotion of the dissemination and exploitation of research results through Open science policy: mandatory open access to publications and open science principles applied throughout the Programme;
• the effectiveness of funding by pursuing R&I Missions, clearly identified objectives with impact for society and policy making as well as relevance for solving some of the biggest challenges of our time;
• the partnerships, with a new approach: objective-driven and more ambitious partnerships with industry in support of EU policy objectives;
• the synergies with the other Financing Programmes and the Union’s policies.
HOW TO GET FUNDING
Horizon Europe provides funding mainly in the form of grants, but also through prizes, procurements and financial instruments within blending operations and equity support under the EIC Accelerator.
The European Commission runs the Funding Programme through the release of calls for proposals published on the official portal Funding & Tenders at the link
The rules for participation and dissemination laid down in the Regulation establishing Horizon Europe, available here.
As a rule, unless the Work Programme provides otherwise, proposals shall be evaluated by a committee composed of external independent experts, on the basis of the award criteria excellence; impact; quality and efficiency of the implementation.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisation may participate in actions under the Programme, in compliance with the conditions laid down in the Regulation and in the referring Work Programme or call for proposals.
Entities must be part of a consortium that must include at least three independent legal entities each established in a different Member State or Associated Country and with at least one of them established in a Member State, unless the Work Programme provides otherwise.
Some actions [e.g. ERC frontier research actions, MSCA training and mobility actions, EIC actions] may be implemented by one or more legal entities, one of which must be established in a Member State or Associated Country on the basis of an agreement.
HORIZON EUROPE STRATEGIC PLANNING / STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic planning is a new way of setting the detailed R&I priorities of Horizon Europe, co-created by Commission services, Member States, stakeholders and civil society.
The strategic planning process will cover Horizon Europe as a whole; it will identify the areas for funding priorities, partnerships and missions, and align them with the political guidelines.
The Strategic Plan deriving from the process will prepare the content of the Work Programmes and calls for proposals for the first four years [expected impacts, partnerships and missions, …]

Act by which a State expresses, on the international plane, its consent to be bound by a Convention and apply in good faith its provisions. Under article 19(5)(d) of the Constitution, “if the Member obtains the consent of the authority or authorities within whose competence the matter lies, it will communicate the formal ratification of the Convention to the Director-General and will take such action as may be necessary to make effective the provisions of such Convention”. A formal instrument of ratification needs to be communicated to the ILO Director-General, in order for the ratification to become effective in international law. If this is not done, it may be that a Convention is regarded by a State as ‘ratified’ in its internal legal system, but it will produce no effect at the international level.
No specific requirements as to form are laid down in the Constitution. Each member State has its own constitutional provisions and practice. Nevertheless in order to be registered, an instrument of ratification must: (a) clearly identify the Convention being ratified; (b) be an original document (on paper, not a facsimile or photocopy) signed by a person with authority to engage the State (such as the Head of State, Prime Minister, Minister responsible for Foreign Affairs or Minister of Labour); (c) clearly convey the government’s intention that the State should be bound by the Convention concerned and its undertaking to execute faithfully its obligations under the Convention.

Expert Forum #3
Hosted by Andrea Copping, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Lobster and fish larvae are most commonly buoyant and distributed by tidal currents, waves, and other water movements to allow for their dispersal. Similarly zooplankton that spend their lives in the pelagic zone (holoplankton) are at the mercy of water movement. Tidal turbines sited in the estuaries and coastal waters to generate renewable energy are likely to intersect the movement of larvae and zooplankton. Concerns have been raised that commercially and recreationally important species, as well as those that form the base of the marine food web, could be harmed by the operation of tidal turbines.
This forum focused on whether lobster and fish larvae and other zooplankton may be at risk from tidal energy development, whether there is a suitable way to evaluate that risk, and how that risk may be communicated to regulators and stakeholders. (Annex IV Introductory slides). The experts concluded that tidal turbines would be unlikely to pose a risk to these small size classes of marine life.

This can be very challenging at first, but the only way to get better at it is by practice. This valuable skill can get you very far in the music world. It sharpens your listening skills and helps you grow into being a musician that most musicians would love to play with. Everyone loves a good listener!

Sometimes, it’s not just about playing certain notes that makes you sound like your favorite performer. Every musician has their quirks and ways of performing that set them apart from the rest. Discover what these are and try to transform into your artist of choice. Maybe there’s a particular dance move or a vocal accent, or even a signature musical style that can help you become your musical idol. The point is, have fun with it.

In this month’s issue of Ketogenic Diet News, we asked Dr. Adrianna Amari from the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore to report on her study which was published in the August 2007 issue of Epilepsy & Behavior. For many years, parents have asked me in their initial consultation, “Should my child go on the ketogenic diet? They LOVE bacon and eggs!” For years, I would then tell them, “They will probably love the food on the diet, and that’s good for sticking with it for a long time, but it has nothing to do with their epilepsy.” Dr. Amari has just proven that I am wrong! Her landmark study, which raises just as many questions than it answers, suggests that children’s brains are possibly telling their stomachs what to eat, and the ketogenic diet appears to be on the menu. Stay tuned for more studies to examine this exciting finding. | Eric Kossoff MD
The Ketogenic Diet – Kids With Epilepsy Appear to Prefer It
By Adrianna Amari, PhD
Although the ketogenic diet has been found to be highly effective for the treatment of epilepsy, it is not always considered as a treatment option by pediatricians, neurologists, or families themselves. One of the reasons for this is the perception that children will find the high-fat/low-carbohydrate regimen unpalatable. Consequently, it is anticipated that it will be difficult to get them to comply with the diet, particularly eating the high fat items and being restricted from typical treat foods like candy or chips.
Until recently, this perception of unpalatability had not been assessed systematically. In the August 2007 issue of Epilepsy & Behavior, we report on a study our group conducted to assess the food preferences of children with seizures. Specifically, we assessed children’s preferences for high fat foods compatible with, and high carbohydrate foods incompatible with the ketogenic diet. We wanted specifically to study children who were not on the ketogenic diet to see what their preferences were.
Fifty-nine children between the ages of 2 and 17 years, 29 with seizure disorders and 30 without, participated in a food choice assessment, in which they were asked to choose which item they preferred from pairs of food items. Small tastes of foods were randomly presented in pairs from out of a selection of 7 high fat and 7 high carbohydrate foods, such that each food item was eventually paired with every other food item during the procedure. This method resulted in a rank order of preferences, and also enabled us to calculate preference scores for both the high fat and high carbohydrate food groups.
We were not surprised to find that children without seizure disorders preferred such typical treat items as candy corn and tortilla chips, but were quite surprised to find that children with seizure disorders actually preferred such atypical items as mayonnaise and cream cheese! Overall, children with seizure disorders had significantly higher preferences for high fat versus high carbohydrate items, while children without seizure disorders had the opposite preferences.
Preferences and Perceptions
Parents were also surprised by these preferences. During this study, we had additionally assessed parents’ predictions of child food preferences, and found that parents’ perceptions of what their children may or may not prefer were often inaccurate.
Most parents did not think their children would prefer the high fat foods, and they were incorrect. Awareness of this may lead some caregivers to be more open to initiation of the ketogenic diet as a therapeutic option. In fact, several of the children in this study were subsequently started on the diet after now-convinced parents saw their children eating the high fat foods, much to their surprise.
Our group is planning a prospective study to track whether detection of these unusual preferences by systematic assessment can predict not only compliance with the diet, but perhaps even diet efficacy. Future research could also focus on understanding why these preferences exist.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has entered an agreement with KSU of India for operating TaxiBot vehicles at New Delhi and Mumbai airports. The contract will be implemented in two stages. In the first phase, TaxiBot vehicles will be delivered to the airports and run in a controlled trial until end 2018. The second phase will involve the delivery of 38 additional vehicles in four years to New Delhi and Mumbai airports as well as to the general Indian market. India’s aviation market has grown by 20% a year in the past three years, and it will soon be named as the third largest aviation market in the world.
TaxiBot is a semi-robotic vehicle which connects to the aircraft and is controlled by the pilot to taxi the airplane from the airport’s jet bridge (“sleeve”) to the runway with no use of the aircraft main engines. Hauling the aircraft by the TaxiBot saves 85% of the fuel consumed during standard taxi and provides a similar reduction of 85% of the greenhouse gases emitted by the aircraft's main engines. Taxiing with the TaxiBot reduces noise levels by 60% and foreign object damage by 50%, as foreign objects can’t be sucked into the aircraft engines if they are not running. An additional benefit is the streamlining and increased throughput of aircraft entering and exiting the terminal area.
The Indian government regards the TaxiBot as a significant means for addressing the grave air pollution at airports, which is worsening because of the continued growth of air transportation. The final tests of the vehicles designated for New Delhi Airport are being completed now at Frankfurt airport with the support of Lufthansa LEOS and TLD, as part of the ongoing productive collaboration with IAI from the beginning of the project.
IAI EVP and General Manager of IAI's Military Aircraft Group Shaul Shahar said, "We regard the contract with KSU as a further step in our close collaboration with India in a broad range of areas. We trust the TaxiBot will prove itself effective in reducing air pollution, which is intensifying due to the fast growth of India’s aviation market, with the significant savings in fuel, foreign object damage, and improvement in the gates congestion. The TaxiBot is another example of IAI’s capability in developing unmanned vehicles of all kinds and customizing breakthrough products to customers’ needs. We believe this agreement will open the path for many more significant contracts for this product worldwide."
TLD Group CEO Antoine Maguin said, "After years of development, heavy testing and certification, for which TLD has worked in cooperation with IAI, the TaxiBot concept and machines have become a reality. It will bring significant benefits to the aviation industry, and in particular strong fuel savings, and to the whole community by improving aviation and airports environmental footprint".
KSU Aviation Private Limited founder Yogesh Sethi said, "KSU Aviation Private Limited is excited to be associated with TaxiBot Project and proud to commence commercial operations of the Taxibot first time in the world in India. This will be a huge moment of pride and glory for Indian aviation as well as KSU aviation to lead by example how aircrafts will be moved on ground in the future. The use of TaxiBot at Indian Airports in the coming five years will bring about a saving of 1.5 billion dollars to the Indian airlines and further reduce the environmental damage of greenhouse gases by four million tons."

Lincoln University Gym
Neoflex REPtile provides high-performance flooring for Lincoln University’s new state-of-the-art sports facility by Athfield Architects.
A $10 million redevelopment has transformed Lincoln University’s existing sports facility into Whare Hākinakina, the new cornerstone of the university’s acclaimed sport and recreation study programmes. Here, students, athletes, coaches and scientists all come together to study how elite athletes perform at the highest level. Neoflex REPtile rubber floor tiles from Advance Flooring feature in the building’s new gymnasium.
Peter Magson, Lincoln’s Recreation Centre Manager, was already familiar with the benefits of Neoflex. ’We had a space fitted with a similar product in 1995,’ he says, ‘and it has lasted so well, we chose to use the same flooring for Whare Hākinakina.’
While the sports hall and squash court were retained, the rest of the building was gutted and refurbished to create a future-focused facility. As well as a yoga studio and a virtual reality cycling room, there is a new weight, cross training, and cardio gym. At 860sqm ’it’s a huge space’, says Magson, ‘and we used Neoflex rubber flooring throughout’.
Neoflex REPtiles are square modular rubber flooring tiles with a base layer of between 8 and 30mm that can be topped with any Neoflex surface. REPtiles incorporate a reinforcing fabric that ensures dimensional stability whilst maintaining walking comfort and resilience, and they are specially designed for areas subject to heavy wear.
‘We did a lot of work with the layout and where we wanted the machines and free weight areas placed,’ says Magson. ‘There was eight months of planning, so when Advance did the flooring, we knew where everything would go. We put extra thickness on the athlete performance side – 17mm instead of the 8mm used elsewhere.’
The university also chose to have their logo incorporated into the tiles, ensuring the floor looks as good as it performs. ‘We get great feedback about the space,’ says Magson, ‘and the floor looks magnificent. We are very happy with the flooring selection process, the delivery and the way it functions.’

Use Interesting Layouts
Providing an interesting layout for your brochure is something that can go a long way in getting it noticed. Of course, you’re going to want to match the mood of your brochure to the mood of your business - the example above uses TripShake, which is a question/answer service for those who enjoy traveling. The bright and playful layout is engaging, and almost begs you to pick it up and look through it. This is a great idea, especially if you’re planning on leaving your brochures somewhere public and want people to pick them up, rather than going to be handing them out to customers. By providing an interesting layout, you’re essentially saying “Hey, take a look at this!” which can help you snag a few customers or get your word out.
Interesting Layout on a Budget
Of course, an interesting layout doesn’t have to be overly fussy or use too much ink! By employing fun fonts, interesting text placement, and an overall fun-to-read design, your brochure can really engage the viewer. After all, most people don’t see a large chunk of text and instantly think that they want to read it - you have to provide some visual interest there. The design above showcases how some fun fonts and a non-traditional layout can be both cost-effective, as well as fun to flip through. This is an especially smart tip for those of you who are designing on a tight budget and don’t have a lot to put into printing images or a lot of colors.
Attract Attention With High Impact Colors
Using high impact colors on a brochure can help draw in attention. You might think that you can’t do this without looking unprofessional, but simply adding a bright color - such as blue in the example above - against a dark background can do wonders for making your brochure stand out. Another great color scheme idea that requires less ink, and can be a little more cost-effective, can be to use white with orange, red, green, or blue accents, which saves on trying to cover your entire brochure in a dark color or relying on expensive alternative printing methods.
Color: Too Much of a Good Thing?
Conversely, using too much of an impact color can have a very negative effect as well. The example above showcases a very orange layout, which looks quite stunning, but the use of white text on an orange background can be jarring, as well as hard to read. Another setback is that colored inks are costly to use, or the cost of production can skyrocket if you’re using specialty paper that requires an alternative type of printing to make text visible, such as flexography printing or screen printing. If you’re looking to save money while still making a great impression and looking good, choose a light color, such as white or pastels, and accent them with bolder or brighter colors.
Matching Your Business’ Color Scheme
Of course, there’s a lot to be said for those who can match their brochure to whatever it is they are promoting. For example, say you want to spread the word about your hotel, which is elegantly decorated in browns and tans. By including images of your hotel, as well as a beautiful color scheme that can be associated with your logo or the exterior of your building, you can help create a lasting image of your business. The example template above achieves just that, boasting a fantastic brochure layout that has been designed to showcase both thoughtfully laid out images as well as an attractive color scheme.
Don’t Be Afraid to Use Images…
You can say what you want, but when it really boils down to it, adults aren’t so different from kids. Do you remember enjoying picture books as a child? Well, using images to market things or showcase information is another fantastic way to get people to pick up your brochure. The example above showcases a fantastic layout where one large image adds a ton of visual interest to the cover of this brochure. By putting this attractive red-eyed tree frog on the front of their brochure, it helps guide people to pick up something that they may actually need to tour the California Academy of Science - a map!
But Use them Wisely…
Of course, you can go a little too far when using images as well. While the design above is a good example of an attractive brochure, it still feels a little overwhelming. Layering images atop of each other tends to take away from all the images involved. Another setback to brochure designs like this is that they tend to be extremely expensive to print - imagine just how much ink it takes to create these beach photos. This is something you want to steer away from if you’re designing on a budget. So if you’re going to include images, just be smart about it. Like so many things in life, a little bit seems to go a long way.
Simple, Yet Cohesive Layouts
A simple brochure is not a bad thing by any means. When it really boils down to it, all you need for a great brochure is a readable font and a cohesive layout. In fact, choosing a simple layout over an overly complicated one can make a layout more effective. The example above shows a bit of a dated brochure, yes, but the elements of design are still there. The font is easily read, the images showcase what visitors can expect at White Rock resort, while the red band at the top acts as a sort of page title. While this may be an old brochure, it stands the test of time as a great example of what designers should strive for.
Avoid a Cluttered Layout
Sometimes a designer gets a little over ambitious and includes a bit too much information or too many images within their design. The example above showcases a design that could use a little bit of help. The bright colors on the cover tend to be a bit jarring when you look at it, and the designs of the snowflakes feel needlessly detailed. The border at the top detracts from the informational pages, and the different colors of pages lend to a bit of a slapdash feel. Be sure to create a feeling of cohesion throughout your design and make sure your fonts aren’t crammed together on one page. Using borders, text boxes, and a well-planned out color scheme is your best bet for creating something attractive and easy to read.
Put Your Best Page Forward
One of the best ways to draw people to your brochure is to create a beautiful cover, complete with images or logos, an attractive color scheme, and important information. The example above showcases a beautiful layout in wine red with a high quality image on the front. This design seems to beg the viewer to pick it up and thumb through it. One of the advantages to putting a lot of effort into the cover is that the inside can be used for a more utilitarian purpose - informing people - saving you on printing costs and time spent trying to create a complex design. Not to mention, a well designed cover can say a lot about how much effort you put into your business.

Recently, the Williams Foundation held a seminar, which addressed the core question: how sustainable was the Australian Defence Force if it faced a major regional crisis?
The challenge is rooted in part that the forces of the liberal democracies, which have participated in the Middle Eastern land wars, have shaped a Middle Eastern mindset with regard to logistics. Forces have been maintained by logistics centers fed by commercial resupply systems and with an ability for allies to support one another, without worrying about a peer competitor with the capabilities and the intention to disrupt and destroy the logistics system.
One of the key speakers at the Williams Foundation Seminar on April 11, 2019, was Lt. Col. Beaumont. Beaumont is an army logistician but one with a focus on joint logistics support.
According to Beaumont: “Logistics will give us options and the flexibility to respond in a crisis as well as defining key constraints on freedom of action.”
In a capitalist society, of course, much that feeds a logistics machine in times of crisis or war is outside of the control of the military and is really about the capability to mobilize resources from the private sector in a timely and effective manner. In effect, logistics is about taking resources out of the economy and making them available for the battlefield.
According to Beaumont, the main focus of logistics in the recent past has been tactical, but as we face a peer-to-peer environment, it is important to take a more strategic perspective,
Beaumont also highlighted that one cannot assume even if one is operating within a coalition that the coalition partners will be able to sustain you in a crisis. “A key factor is what the level of mobilization has been achieved before a crisis to sustain a force. There is a long lead time to turn on the spickets from industry, and that is not just in Australia.”
But how much better off is the United States than Australia?
Obviously, the US has a major advantage compared to Australia with regard to the size, scope and capabilities of the defense industrial base.
The challenge is different in a fundamental way – is the US largely domestically supported sustainment system through depots really up to higher tempo global operations facing the US in a peer competitor driven crisis?
The key here is to have sufficient available assets at the point of interest, attack or defense, which can be sustained through a period of crisis.
In other words, the goal is not just to show up; but to prevail through the duration of a crisis.
First to the fight, but without a durability to continue the fight, is not a strategic motto, I would choose to embrace.
And it is precisely the structure of the US logistics SYSTEM and its current CON-Ops that is the soft underbelly of our ability to prevail in a crisis.
A case in point is the globally deployed Osprey fleet.
Here we have a unique warfighting capability, unprecedented in warfare, globally deployed, able to operate from land or sea-bases and able to project power in unique ways in military history.
But the logistical system will shackle the fleet’ s operational effectiveness in a sustained crisis, but simply not having parts located in an effective manner globally, and having no common fleet logistics IT and parts identification system for the global fleet which could allow the Marines, or the Air Force, or the Navy or the Japanese to identify parts close to the point of operation, grab those parts and use them on a need to operate basis.
Rather, the system is Balkanized by service or customer, with no right to swap out parts except by personal connections and networks and personal handshakes.
This is not a crisis dominance approach; but a hand holding approach to the domestically determine US logistical system. A good example is the Osprey fleet. The small number of initial Ospreys has grown into a large fleet operated by the USMC, the USAF, and now the US Navy and with the acquisition by Japan of Ospreys, the first foreign customer of the aircraft.
And the aircraft operates worldwide on the aircraft, and in the words of MAG-26 Commander, Col. Boniface, and “soon the sun will never set on the Osprey as a globally deployed aircraft.”
But unfortunately, the sustainment side of the creation of the globally deployed aircraft has not been matched by shaping a global sustainment enterprise. It is clear that to get full value from a globally deployed platform like the Osprey, it is crucial to have a logistical system in place which can allow for sustainable global operations at the point of interest or attack, rather than simply waiting for parts to show up from the next Fed Ex shipment to a remote location from a depot based in the United States.
This is especially important as the US and its allies face 21stcentury authoritarian powers who will also focus on the disruption of an already Balkanized logistical operation.
During my visit to 2ndMarine Air Wing in April 2019, I had a chance to discuss the challenge with a very experienced Marine Corps logistics officer, Major Paul M. Herrle. He is currently is head of MALS-26 which is part of MAG-26.
Throughout the discussion, Major Herrle underscored that with the growth of the Osprey numbers, there now was in place a large fleet. But that it was not managed as such. A core point is that even though parts are common throughout the fleet, the USAF has one sustainment system, the Marines another, and with new members of Osprey nation, yet other sustainment systems in play.
He argued that it was increasingly crucial to have an integrated sustainment system and one, which could flow parts to a globally deployed force as well.
He put the challenge this way.
“The USAF supports its ospreys from England; but we can not tap into that support structure to support our SP-MAGTF force in Europe, for example. Right now I cannot use USAF parts if I need them. I cannot touch the parts on the ship as well. I cannot do lateral support from the amphibious ships parts as well for SP-MAGTF.”
He noted that a great deal of his work was working through his networks to find ways to fill the gaps, but from his point of view, this is clearly not the way to do business, especially with a mature global fleet of operational aircraft.
The USMC is working to take the multiple configurations of the Osprey and building a common configuration, something being worked at the Boeing plant in Philadelphia. But alongside this effort, it would make sense to have a common sustainment system, and one which has global hubs from which parts can flow to the fleet, both in normal operations and in crisis situations. As the USMC is the nation’s crisis response force, there is a clear need for a sustainment system which could actually function as a core element of the strategic capability to prevail in a crisis.
But as it stands right now, and this is my perspective, and not one I am attributing to Major Herrle, we have created a significant strategic vulnerability, which clearly our peer adversaries will seek to exploit. Rather than being able to leverage a globally sustained fleet of global aircraft, we have a Balkanized logistical system which is designed from the outset to sub-optimize performance.
Perhaps we can do that in slo-mo war but certainly not in full spectrum crisis management, where we can assume high tempo operations will be required.

The latest activity survey from Oil and Gas UK has shown mixed fortunes for the sector in the UK. The statistics show a campaign to improve efficiency and production, and to reduce industry operating costs has been successful.
According to the report, operating costs in the sector have been lowered by a third, costs of exploration are predicted to reduce further and the sector has been boosted by a 10% increase in oil and gas production, but the survey revealed some negative aspects for the industry as well.
North Sea Exploration at record lows
While costs for exploring the North Sea have been reduced by 40%, the survey also demonstrates how exploration is now at record lows.
The lack of surveying in the oil and gas sectors in the UK has caused concern in the past, and a number of initiatives have been announced to encourage more exploration but they do not appear to be reversing the trend.
Lack of Investment
The report also noticed a lack of financing for the creation of new projects, and Oil and Gas UK are now urging the government to take measures to improvement investment levels.
Chief Executive for Gas and Oil UK, Deirdre Michie, has called for action to be taken to encourage government, the gas and oil industries and regulators to work together in order to make the industry more competitive and attractive to investors.
Michie also urged the government to reduce the headline rate of the special taxes paid by the industry and for steps to be made to improve the way the Investment Allowance is used in order to help pave the way for securing energy supply in to the future.
Prices for gas and oil also continue to be on the wane and total revenues have decreased by 30%.
Based on current prices, the activity report highlighted concerns that around half of UKCS oil fields could be operating at a loss, which will further prevent fresh investment into exploration.
Commenting on the falling prices, Deirdre Michie said
“The UKCS is entering a phase of ‘super maturity’. While the industry’s decades of experience provide great depths of knowledge and expertise which can be applied to recover the still significant remaining resource, the report highlights the challenges that the falling oil price poses in our capability to maximise economic recovery of the UK’s offshore oil and gas.”
The report also details the rapid increase in the decommissioning of fields and the fall in sanctioned capital investment

A long word for describing a tiny thing
It might take more than a scintilla of English vocabulary knowledge to know that scintilla means a tiny bit of something.
It comes sandwiched between the words a and of in phrases like “a scintilla of doubt” or “not a single scintilla of evidence.” If you’re uncertain of the pronunciation, remember: it rhymes with chinchilla and the c is silent, just like in science. Similar words you can use to talk about tiny bits of something are iota, smidgen, speck, and whit.

The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of an 1833 engraved facsimile copy of the Declaration of Independence as a gift from David M. Rubenstein, a nationally-renowned philanthropist and history enthusiast. It will be on display in the Overlook Gallery at the Whaling Museum, 13 Broad Street, beginning Saturday, July 4, 2015.
In 1820, John Quincy Adams noticed that the original Declaration of Independence was deteriorating and suggested creating duplicate copies to preserve the document for years to come. With Congressional approval, he commissioned engraver William J. Stone to create a facsimile. It took Stone three years to finish the copperplate engraving, in which the image of the original embossed Declaration was cut into a surface with carved lines or sunken areas holding the ink for printing. Two hundred and one copies were printed on vellum and distributed to the surviving signers of the original document, current and former presidents and vice presidents, governors, and educational institutions, among others. Just over a quarter of these vellum prints are known to have survived.
The plate was then used in 1833 to print a second edition on paper (instead of vellum) for inclusion in historian Peter Force’s American Archives: A Documentary History of the United States of America. The NHA’s recent acquisition is one of these paper copies.
More Americans have seen Stone’s facsimile of the Declaration than have seen the original document itself. The original is so faded, that many details on it can now only be interpreted through comparison with Stone’s copy.
David M. Rubenstein is the co-founder and co-CEO of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms. A native of Baltimore, Rubenstein attended Duke University as well as The University of Chicago Law School. In addition to practicing law, he was the Deputy Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy during the Carter administration prior to co-founding The Carlyle Group in 1987. A noted philanthropist, he serves on the board of numerous charitable organizations and has provided significant funding to preserve some of America’s most treasured sites, including the Washington Monument, the National Zoo, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, and more. He has a particular interest in securing historic documents, and has purchased copies of the Emancipation Proclamation, Magna Carta, and the first news printing of the Declaration of Independence, which he often loans to museums and other public institutions.
NHA Gosnell Executive Director Bill Tramposch adds, “The NHA has had the pleasure of working with David Rubenstein in various capacities in the past few years. Rubenstein spoke at the NHA Annual Meeting in July 2013, and delighted audiences with samples from his collection of iconic historic documents. This copy of the Declaration of Independence is a way of recognizing David Rubenstein’s eleemosynary spirit.”

It's a sure sign of winter in Rochester – as the cold and snow return, so do the crows.
Right on cue, just as the first real snowfall sweeps the state, the nuisance birds are back, KAAL-TV reports.
Experts say the crows come into town from the frozen prairie because it's warmer. This winter, forecast to be a chillier one than normal, could make the crow problem worse, according to the Rochester Post-Bulletin's Answer Man column. The column notes, "Cold and snowy means extra crowy" – and extra "crowfall."
The crows making themselves home in Rochester have never been welcome – city officials and residents have been at war for decades with the noisy birds, which leave streets and sidewalks caked white with droppings. City leaders have worried about people tracking the scat into buildings around town, including into the Mayo Clinic.
"It’s getting worse and worse every year," Sebastian Modarelli, an organist at a downtown church, told KAAL. "It’s horrible! It's just – I have no words. Man, this is terrible."
But city officials in Rochester have had a tough time finding solutions. An attempt launched in 2011 to use laser beams to scare the flock of 5,000 out of the trees – and perhaps at least break them up into smaller groups around town – did not have lasting success. Neither did large nets or birds of prey, KARE 11 reported last year.
"I think in the long run we're probably just gonna have to just have some services available to deal with the messes as it comes forward, and try to move them on as well, but ultimately, as long as there's a concentration of light and warmth in the downtown cities, the crows are gonna find it," Councilman Mike Wojcik told KAAL.
Take heart, city leaders. It's not easy to outwit crows. The most striking characteristic of the bird – which many other cultures around the world also consider a nuisance, a scavenger and even a bad omen – is it's intelligence, PBS reported. The crow, researchers have learned, is among the smartest animals on the planet.
This video, uploaded to YouTube last year, illustrates the problem that residents are squawking about:

A groundbreaking mind-body protocol to heal chronic pain, backed by new research.
Chronic pain is an epidemic. Fifty million Americans struggle with back pain, headaches, or some other pain that resists all treatment. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain.
Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients.
PRT is rooted in neuroscience, which has shown that while chronic pain feels like it's coming from the body, in most cases it's generated by misfiring pain circuits in the brain. PRT is a system of psychological techniques that rewires the brain to break out of the cycle of chronic pain.
The University of Colorado-Boulder recently conducted a large randomized controlled study on PRT, and the results are remarkable. By the end of the study, the majority of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free. What's more, these dramatic changes held up over time.
The Way Out brings PRT to readers. It combines accessible science with a concrete, step-by-step plan to teach sufferers how to heal their own chronic pain.

The major difference is the opportunity to explore your own path in the subject. India has its predetermined curriculum which is followed throughout the country. There is little space for students to use their creativity in the subject.
Whereas, education in the UK, gives you the opportunity for practical knowledge about the subject which is used in real scenarios. Undergraduate courses in India are believed to be of high quality and Graduate courses in the UK are regarded as one of the best. So if you are planning to pursue post-graduation then you must go to the UK for a better education.
Why Study in the UK and not in Other Countries?
The UK has some of the most revered universities in the world. Naming some:- the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College, London; University College London (UCL) the University of Edinburgh. Our two Former Indian Prime Ministers who have studied in Oxford are- Dr Manmohan Singh and Indira Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi, The Father of our Nation, studied law at UCL. These Universities are a dream for many and if you are one of the lucky ones who has got the opportunity to study in any of these universities, then without any second thought you should, go and pursue your dreams.
Education in the UK is usually less than the duration of courses in other courses. In the UK Full-time, undergraduate courses are for 3 years and post-graduation is for 1 year, which saves your cost of living and costs related to studies.
British Council Benefits of Studying in the UK

1. Quality Education
The United Kingdom is believed to be one of the countries which have a quality education, which provides you with practical knowledge of the subject. Official organizations like the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) carry out independent audits to evaluate the quality of the top to the bottom teaching process. Teaching and Research standards at these universities are regularly assessed to make sure that they meet the benchmarks that are set.
2. Among the best in Research
The REF ( Research Excellence Framework) is the organization that assesses the quality of the research conducted by leading universities and colleges in the United Kingdom. They postulate that 30 % of the research done is “world Leading: and 46% are classified as “Internationally Excellent. If you aspire to be a first-class researcher then the United Kingdom is the stop for you where you can achieve what you dream of.
3. You can Work while Study
Many colleges and universities provide the student with part-time work opportunities. To be confirmed you should ask the college person or you should check on their website. This is a wonderful way for you to practice what you are learning. Working while studying enhances your CV which gives you an extra edge when you apply for jobs.
4. You can Apply for various Scholarship
The United Kingdom understands the importance of education, and not every student can afford the expense of living and the cost of education together. Hence they have a scholarship option for the students. If the expenses required are too much for you, then for Indian Students that have many scholarships for which you can apply for. You can find the list here.
Is IELTS important to Study in the UK?
For you to pursue your studies in the UK you need to apply for a study visa and you need to provide proof of proficiency in the English language. You have to take the Secure English Language Test approved by the Home Office, such as IELTS. IELTS in the UK is mentioned by British Council and IDP.

Video Management Systems play an integral role in tracking down perpetrators of all types as well as preventing criminal incidents in general. You need to protect the integrity of your camera’s and the information it collects by making sure your security practices minimize unauthorized access . Here are some practices that you can follow to help manage the overall security of your cameras:
- Create an inventory of all the cameras on your network, including the information for the primary and secondary contact person who manages the cameras, the camera manufacturer, model, location, IP address, current firmware version.
- Ensure that there is no physical access to the cameras, the supporting network equipment, the server and video storage for your system (i.e. cables, switches, etc.). These should all be in located in access-controlled areas.
- Ensure that there are no default passwords used by any of the cameras and operating system if they are accessible to the administrator or user accounts. If there is a need to update a password, use a complex and lengthy password for each individual camera.
- Set the idle session timeout for your camera’s interface to ensure that the web session is terminated even for those users who don’t log off of the camera.
- Place your camera system on a separate network from your operational network. This helps to reduce the impact of camera traffic on your operational network, and makes it harder for an attacker on one network to gain access to the other.
Periodically reviewing and updating your practices and settings will provide you an opportunity to make you camera still meets your security needs.

We are searching data for your request:
Upon completion, a link will appear to access the found materials.
For starters I have to tell you that all the ingredients must be at room temperature.
We prepare a 20x30 cm tray, which we cover with baking paper
Turn the oven to 180 degrees to heat.
In the bowl of the robot we put the walnuts and almonds together with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. We turn on the robot and grind them. They can be ground with a nut grinder.
In the version with the robot, we will have bigger pieces that will be tasty.
Put the ground walnuts together with the almonds in a bowl and switch to chocolate. I chopped this one in the robot but you can scrape it.
In a bowl mix the butter to get a foam (if you want a hard sweet cake then here you can add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, I did not put because I thought it was sweet enough chocolate and the two tablespoons of sugar put to grind nuts). Add the yolks one by one in butter, mixing after each one. When we finish adding the yolks, add the almonds, walnuts, baking powder and cocoa and mix a few times.
Separately beat the egg whites with a little salt until we have a strong foam.
Put the egg whites over the composition with butter and with a spatula mix from top to bottom until everything is well incorporated.
Pour into the pan, level and put in the hot oven for about an hour. When it is ready, it will crack on top, and on the toothpick you only need to have traces of chocolate
Macaron is a traditional French cookie.
Forget his definition taken from the book "Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Picnic and Ancillary Industries" written by Albert Seigneurie in 1904.
All the famous French pastry shops make macarons. I would say that it is the fashionable cookie & # 33
There are two methods of realization:
1) Gerbet method (classical)
2) the method based on the preparation of Italian meringue (too heavy for me, in addition I would need a kenwood or a kitchen aid and I & # 33)
3 egg whites
230 g old powder
125 g of ground almonds
15 g cocoa
120 g of dark chocolate
80 g butter
30 g whipped cream
Separate the egg whites from the yolks the day before. Leave the egg whites in a bowl, at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap.
Stir all ingredients over low heat. Put the cream in the fridge and leave it until it hardens (about half an hour).
Using a robot, grind the sugar, almonds and cocoa powder as finely as possible. I used the robot and then passed the mixture through a strainer.
Whisk the egg whites.
# 2 irina.dSlowly mix the egg whites with almond powder, cocoa and sugar.
Put the dough in a bag and, with the help of a spirit, try to make round shapes on the baking paper. Their diameter should be about the size of a 1 euro coin.
Leave the tray at room temperature for at least half an hour (you can leave it overnight).
Put the tray in the oven for about 15 minutes at 175Â ° C.
Let the cookies cool. After half an hour, turn the cookies on the other side and try to group them two by two depending on the size and shape.
Add a teaspoon of ganache to a cookie and cover everything with the second one.
There are about 60 macaroni.
Good appetite & # 33

IRINA fff your macarons look good (I certainly didn't write well), congratulations.
I have an ooooo too. aaaaaa. perplexity. so to speak. Can't I do it without almonds? If I grind nuts or nuts. What do you say? I coughed badly. not the other way around but I can't stand almonds in anything. I'm not allergic just because I don't eat nik with almonds because I don't like them.
# 4 Happy.
When I read the title of the topic I thought it was something with macaroni
# 5 psyche
# 6 Maya
# 7 irina.d
Thank you very much
I think you can make them with nuts. I don't know what will come out of you, but why not?
However, in this recipe you don't really feel the taste of almonds. It's covered in chocolate.
And the cream is very good and quite strong. :)
When I read the title of the topic I thought it was something with macaroni: D
Thanks. Very bad chocolates and good taste & # 33 B)
The Italian method is the one presented in the first film. The sugar is heated to 118 ° C and then poured over the beaten egg whites. It is said that the appearance of cookies is more beautiful, smoother.
The Gerbet method is the one in the second film. The sugar is incorporated at room temperature. It is said that this method gives more flavor.
What is important and I did not come out is the & quotguler & quot. At the base of the macaron is formed a collar, a lace.
The wider the collar and the brighter and finer the peel, the better and more appreciated the macaroni.
# 8 Adriana NicoletaI made them according to the recipe from this book that I bought from amazon.fr
The guy who wrote it teaches at Alain Ducasse's school, so it's a guarantee.
I made the basic recipe and filled them with a jam because I didn't feel like making a cream at the time, in fact I had the remaining egg whites from the panettone and I had to eat them.
In my book it is written that they were born in a monastery in Venice (this is an idea that circulates here about more sweets because in the past the nuns in the monasteries had time and patience and needed to do something that could be done). sell abroad to help them live) in the eighth century, and have the shape of a mother's navel. After 8 centuries, Catherine de Medici would have taken them to France when she married the Duke of Orleans through the confectioners she took with her to the court of the future king of France. They later became regional specialties in many parts of France and began to be produced in monasteries. It is said of Nancy that, after a revolutionary decree abolished the monasteries, two nuns took refuge in a family and began to produce and sell them.
My egg whites were "old" (and here all the people who throw them away after a day will be outraged, I keep them well thank you for several days in the fridge and use them and I'm not dead yet) and then they have to be at room temperature, in my book it is written that they must be taken out of the fridge the night before
My other problem was that I didn't have almond flour and I grinded in the robot some almonds cut into slices that didn't grind well, so I had a mixture with the pieces through them but that in the end didn't affect the goodness and nor their appearance. I was a little skeptical about the result because of the egg whites I had in the fridge for a long time and because of the poor quality of the flour but I was lucky and they turned out great.
Now I'm starting to tell you.
These were the ingredients:
110 gr almond flour
225 gr powdered sugar
120 gr egg whites
50 g of caster sugar
As the recipe said, I mixed the powdered sugar well with the almond flour in the robot for 2 minutes (for me it still wasn't enough to grind the almonds well)
After which this mixture must be sifted, I tried but failed because of the almonds, so I gave up this phase.
Then the egg whites should be whipped, when they are ready add the caster sugar until they are beaten.
At this point, toss the powdered sugar and almond mixture on top at once
And mix gently and slowly until the mixture becomes homogeneous, but not liquid
If I was still here and talking about pos (sac-a-poche) I also took pictures with 2 ideas for using it that can help I hope (ideas taken from the same book) it should be put like this, with the edges down
I have several types, both canvas and silicone and these disposable ones, which I sometimes wash and reuse, here I see that it is not very visible but I wanted to show that a piece of pos is pushed to make it cover up and don't let what we put in it come out
The people from Wilton sell a glass similar to this one that costs a lot of money (which is the glass from the Braun arm mixer) and which is just as practical, you put the pos in it and so it stays good while you fill it with the composition.
After it has been filled, the edges can be pulled up
Put the baking paper in the tray and "stick" the tray by putting a drop of meringue in the 4 corners, draw circles with the pencil on the paper so that the macarons come out evenly.
# 9 Adriana Nicoleta
Thus, in this picture you can see the almond pieces that I did not manage to grind well.
With a wet finger, press on each macarons where the pose was held in order to flatten the tumbler that is created.
Then leave the tray for an hour, write in the book until when you touch it with your finger it does not stick to the meringue (I put them in the living room, where the fireplace is, on the library so it was a little warmer) because it said to be left in a warm and dry place, possibly at height
Bake at 150 ° C for 6 minutes
then turn with the bottom up and bake for another 6 minutes
Then they cool and fill with cream, in my case with the jam put with the pos
Here is another very useful idea that I discovered in this book, so banal and so useful, as you empty the pos with a spatula, you push the composition in this way and thus you do not lose a lot of composition that otherwise stays in the bag
And here are my macarons
So good I can't even tell you
And these are the ones I bought this summer in Albertville
# 10 Adriana Nicoleta
# 11 SIMONA.B
They can't be made with anything other than almonds, if you replace almonds you get cookies and not macarons, almond flour is special for countertops like this and is also used in the so-called & quotjoconde & quot.

Mother, what are you doing to me, Irina and Adriana. These are exactly what I need, because they are hypoglycemic.
Thousands of thanks for the recipe. I'm going to put the rope in the country of the montignacs.
Congratulations & # 33 Wonderful recipe and pictures & # 33
Edited by Mon, 02 March 2008 - 01:59 AM.
# 13 irina.d
Adriana, you had a great time
I do not know what to say. mine really taste great & # 33
The causes are multiple and I analyze them with my engineer: the egg whites were fresh. I had heard that they had to be left for several days, but I left them for one day. Not out of fear but because I forgot to separate them before.
The composition was not as liquid as yours and I think the cocoa powder broke the egg white.
I left them for half an hour. I didn't have time to wait for them to take me to the neighbors' party
And now, be careful & # 33 Olivier says it's because of the oven (that it can't be my fault). He says that the collar is formed by thermal shock and that my tray was too thin. The bottom of the macaroni should heat up more slowly. The culmination is that, looking at other sites, almost everyone uses 3 identical trays, one on top of the other.
What is certain is that I will try again, maybe next week, that they were very successful.
I saw your book with us at the bookstore. I'll buy it and we'll talk.

Thousands of thanks for the recipe. I'm going to put the rope in the country of the montignacs.
Splendid, I'm glad I found a recipe that works well for you
Irina, it's been a while since I've made them, so my memory may be wrong, but it seems to me especially from the pictures that they were raised before putting them in the oven, so Oliver's theory with the tray I don't think it's valid, I noticed later that you baked them at a higher temperature than me, I would dare to ask you if you still want to make them again to make them like me.
Here I give you the quantities for the cocoa ones written in my book if you want to try.
I can't wait for the strawberries to appear and make them with strawberries because they are absolutely insane.
When baking, I put one tray in a row as something I was doing for the first time and delicately, I didn't want to take any risks, so I baked them in the middle of the oven where they cook best, one tray at a time. one at a time because I had 2 trays.
And another very important thing in my humble opinion is the amount of egg whites, I said another time that I would require it to be mandatory to weigh eggs and egg whites because eggs are not all the same And I also read about them it seems to me through forums that they had to be old.
- 110 gr of almond flour
- 225 gr powdered sugar
- 25 gr bitter cocoa
- 120 gr albus
- 50 gr sugar cough
- 30 drops of red dye, helps to stabilize the brown color
It is made as I showed above, except that along with almond flour and powdered sugar is mixed with cocoa.

10. CAKE WITH WALNUT, ROSE OR SHIT
Ingredient: Per kilogram of flour: 5-6 eggs (minimum), 1 teaspoon salt, 300 g warm milk sugar, 1/4 l oil, lemon / orange peel, 50-70 g fresh yeast (about 1 tablespoon grated with dry yeast ), nut, shit.
Preparation: All should be slightly warm when in use. In the kitchen it must be warm and not current, otherwise the cake will not grow. It is sensitive that a small child until you finish putting it in the oven, do not walk, and do not let others keep coming in and out. I do not recommend less than 2 kg of flour, nor more than 4-5. Two cakes come out of a kilogram of flour.
Plamadeala: Rub the yeast with a little sugar until soft, then mix with milk and flour (about 1/3 of the amount). The mold should come out thin. Cover with flour and let it grow, warm, until it starts to crack. In addition, it is covered with a kitchen towel.
Dough: While the dough is growing (10-15 min), rub the yolks with salt, to take on color, then rub well with the sugar and lemon peel. The result is mixed with the raised dough, with the rest of the flour and milk, to make the right dough. Knead well, adding a little oil, until the floors sweat (whoever kneads, will know what it's about).
Approximately, it should be about 45-60 min. At the end, it must be possible to take everything in hand, not to hold the basin / covata / hand, to make blisters and to break easily into slices. At that time, the dough should be covered with a towel and left to sit or rest, as they say.
The same dough can be used for Easter. But in this case it must be taken into account that the dough is harder, otherwise the cheese filling throws it out.
For real cakes, spread the dough on a sheet, spread the filling (walnut, or shit, or raisins), roll the sheet, put it in trays and wait for it to rise. Of course, still warm, and still covered. The trays must be greased with oil, and a sheet of paper is placed on the bottom, also greased. It is not lined with flour, and the excess oil drains, because otherwise the cozonacs risk to be fried.
Before baking, the cozonacs are greased with beaten egg, because in this way the color comes out copper. Bake first on low heat, to have time to grow and penetrate, for 20-25 minutes. Then turn the trays (the cozonacs should still be & # 8220blond & # 8221) and bake for another 20-25 min. After that, give it more heat, to brown it nicely. It should be ready in about 10 minutes. Carefully remove from the tray, peel the paper from the bottom and let it cool covered, on a wooden bottom.
The walnut filling gives glory to the cake. The ground walnut is mixed with egg white and rum essence. It must come out as dry as possible, otherwise the dough will bake, but soft enough to stretch.
The secrets of a good cake:
Ingredients: All ingredients must be "at room temperature"
Flour: add gradually, so that the dough does not become "lumpy" and knead easily.
Kneading: It is said that for every kg of flour you should knead the composition for 30 minutes.
The dough should be kneaded until it comes off easily from the bowl and hands.
Baking: Bake the cake over low heat for one hour. When baked, it peels off the walls of the tray.

In a large large bowl, sift the flour twice as fluffy. Heat the milk in which we dissolve the sugar and vanilla.
Then prepare the yeast mayonnaise with a little flour and a few tablespoons of the milk already prepared, which should not be hot, then sprinkle a handful of flour over the mayonnaise and leave it in a warm place for about 10-15 minutes, until it rises. 8220crapa faina & # 8221.
Rub the yolks with salt, lemon peel and orange.
Add the mayonnaise, the rest of the warm milk and the yolks, but mix by hand and start to knead slowly, gradually adding little by little the oil that needs to be warm.
And we knead and knead like this for 30 minutes, folding the dough or taking it in my hand and then throwing it in the bowl. Here was the mother who took care of the mega covatica of wood like alfellll.
Cover the bowl with a clean napkin and leave the dough to rise, in a warm place away from the current, for about an hour and a half. Meanwhile, prepare the trays that must be at room temperature and cover them with baking paper.
We take the dough raised and divide it in two for the two cakes and divide each half into two.
Spread two or two sheets of dough on a thin film of oil, add the filling and roll.
Knit two at a time and leave to rise in the pan for about 40 minutes.
Grease the cozonacs with egg yolk mixed with milk and sprinkle them with sugar, poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
Bake the cozonacs for about 40-50 minutes.
14. COZONAC ROZENKRANZ
- 400 g of flour
- 2 whole eggs
- flavors (vanilla sugar, lemon peel and orange, rum essence)
- a pinch of salt
- a small glass of milk approx. 110 ml
- 25 g of yeast
- 3 tablespoons of milk sugar
- 130 g of butter
- 6 tablespoons sugar for butter
- 10 - 12 tablespoons of caramel sugar
- chopped walnuts, according to preference
Caramelize the 10 to 12 tablespoons of sugar,
with which the bottom and walls of a pan are wallpapered.
In a bowl sift flour, put eggs, salt and flavors.
Separately, the yeast dissolves in the slightly warm milk
and sweetened with the 3 tablespoons of sugar.
Then, without letting it rise, pour slowly, little by little
over flour with eggs and flavors mixed in advance.
Knead a little, about 10 -15 minutes,
on the worktop, slightly floured.
Spread a sheet, as rectangular as possible, of approx. 1 cm thick.
And grease with butter mixed with the 6 tablespoons of sugar.
Sprinkle with plenty of walnuts and press lightly with your palm,
to adhere to the butter layer.
In 6-7 pieces.
Which are placed in a pan lined with caramel sugar.
Slightly larger spaces are left between these rolls,
because they will increase in size for 1 hour.
I used a pan a little smaller than it should have been,
otherwise, the rolls would have grown a little more.
I recommend a pan 24 cm in diameter.
The rolls are not greased with anything before they are put in the oven,
because the face of the presentation will be the one below, with caramel.
Bake for 35 -40 minutes
at 180 degrees Celsius.
As soon as it is removed from the oven,
the cake spills, so hot, on a plate,
otherwise, if left to cool, the caramelized sugar will harden,
making it impossible to remove it from the pan.
It is a quick cake, but very effective.
As for the taste, I leave it to you to rate it.
Fluffy and crunchy at the same time,
it is a class dessert.
15. COZONAC FOR DIABETES
Many people face diabetes, which is a serious disease that attacks slowly and requires a very strict and quite severe diet, without excess sweets, fats and sour juices. Therefore, in the following lines I propose a recipe for cake with walnuts and pears for diabetics, which is prepared with saccharin and certain dietary ingredients.
- 400 g flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 30 g yeast, 90 g diet syrup, 300 ml skim milk, 25 g diet bitter chocolate, 200 g walnut kernels, 300 g semolina, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 20 g butter, 180 g pears, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 100 g dried fruit, 1/4 teaspoon liquid saccharin for diabetics.
Preparation: Mix the flour with the salt. Put in a bowl the yeast, 50 g syrup, 4 tablespoons of warm milk, a little flour and mix and then add them over the flour. Let it rise for 15 minutes and knead and then let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the rest of the milk, 40 g of syrup, semolina, cinnamon, chocolate and ground walnuts on the fire. After it cools, add the butter.
Peel the pears, cut them into cubes and sprinkle with lemon juice. Add them over the walnuts, along with the saccharin and the finely chopped dried fruit.
Spread the crust and add the filling, then roll the cake and put it in the form. Let it rise for 20 minutes then put it in the oven for about 1 hour.
16. Unbroken cake
This super quick cake recipe fits very well for the Easter, Christmas, New Year holidays, but given the ease with which it is made, you can make it every time you feel like something sweet.
Here's what you need for the no-frills cake:
For the dough composition:
150 g of sugar
175 g butter
500 g of flour
25 g dry yeast granules
250 ml of milk
2 sachets of vanilla sugar
grated peel of a lemon
a pinch of salt
For the filling of the cake:
250 g sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
150 g walnuts
50 raisins or shit (optional)
How to prepare uncooked cake:
Beat 2 egg whites (2 put aside) add the 4 yolks and a little salt.
Dissolve the sugar in the milk and gradually add over the beaten eggs, then add the grated lemon peel, the vanilla sugar and the flour that was previously mixed with the yeast.
Mix until everything is integrated and the dough becomes consistent.
Cut the butter into small cubes and gradually put in the dough, stirring constantly.
After everything has been incorporated, leave the crust in a warm place to grow a little.
We move on to the preparation of the filling & # 8230. The 2 remaining egg whites foam and add a little salt, sugar, ground walnuts, cocoa and raisins.
Spread the dough on the table, put the filling in the middle, roll and place the cake in a form greased with butter. Let it rest and rise for about an hour.
Place in the oven, suitable for baking, for about 30 minutes. During this time it is not advisable to open the oven door to prevent cold air from entering and to cause the cake to sink.
17. COZONAC IN TWO COLORS
Surely this cake in two colors, full of flavors and flavors will earn a place of honor on your table.
1 l milk
2 kg of flour
12 tablespoons sugar
250 ml oil
a little salt
yeast as a nut
as much cocoa as you want
Mix well the sugar, eggs, oil, salt, slightly warm milk and crushed yeast.
Leave the mayonnaise to rise until it starts to form blisters
Divide the composition in two, put cocoa in half as desired
Mix and knead each half of the composition, with flour gradually (the dough obtained must be softer) and leave to rise for an hour.
From each dough 4 loaves are made. Spread a sheet of white dough, put diced shit and walnuts soaked in a little milk and vanilla, and then the sheet with cocoa. Roll, place in trays and leave to rise for about 15 minutes
Then put it in the oven and when they are almost ready, grease the 4 cakes with beaten egg and bake for another 10 minutes.
18. fluffy COCONUT WITH CHOCOLATE
We need for the dough : 2 sachets of dry yeast or 50 grams of fresh yeast (I put fresh as I had) 375 ml warm milk, 160 grams of sugar, 2 large eggs at room temperature, 2 yolks at room temperature, 780 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 200 grams butter .
For the filling : 5 egg whites, 40 grams of finely chopped bitter chocolate, nuts or raisins to taste, 1 tablespoon orange peel, 2 tablespoons cocoa, 12 tablespoons sugar. To get the cream, beat the egg whites with the sugar until they become a firm foam, then add the grated chocolate, cocoa, grated orange and walnuts & # 8230 is a wonderful cream, the combination of orange and dark chocolate is special.
I prepared the dough as follows: I put the yeast with warm milk and a spoonful of sugar and left it to rise for 10 minutes, after which I put all the ingredients for the dough in the bread machine. Let it knead with the kneading program and leaven there for 40 minutes. Then I took out the dough and left it to rise for another hour to make sure it would be fluffy.
From this you can make 2 large cakes. I made a simple one by spreading a thin sheet of 2 cm (too thin I stretched you can fold 2 cm without problems because it works easier) over which I evenly put a layer of cream made of egg white and chocolate:
I then rolled it carefully and twisted and braided the roll into 2 for the cake pan. I made another shape that I like a lot, I divided the remaining dough into 8 equal parts from which we make small sheets and fill them and roll them. We fold the obtained rolls in the shape of a horseshoe, we place them in a round tray prepared with baking paper, we put the first row of 4 horseshoes, the second of 3 horseshoes and we put the last one on top.
I greased the cozonacs with egg yolk and put a few almond flakes on them and left them to rise well for another 30 minutes, it must be left longer because due to the filling it grows a little harder. I baked the cozonacs one by one like this, at first the first 10 minutes on a higher heat to increase then I reduced it to 180 degrees and I left it like this for 30-40 minutes. It browns quickly but to be baked safely inside it must be left longer and checked with toothpicks before removing it. I placed it in the middle of the oven and under the tray in which I baked it I left the large tray from the protective stove, this is how I proceed with all the cakes and they never burn. A wonderful fluffy and fragrant cake came out, it's worth trying the recipe at least once.
1/2 kg. flour, 5 eggs, 375 gr. sugar, 40 gr. brewer's yeast, 1 glass of milk, 1 tablespoon rum, a pinch of salt, vanilla, lemon peel, 200 gr. nuts, 300 gr. butter
Dissolve the yeast in the milk, mix with the flour and sugar and leave to rise for an hour. When the dough is raised, add eggs one by one, salt, rum, vanilla and lemon peel. Mix everything and knead for 10-15 minutes, then let rise again for 1/2 hour. On the flour board spread a 1.5 cm sheet of dough, which is greased with butter rubbed foam. Over the butter layer, sprinkle on the whole sheet, the nuts passed through the mincer or finely ground. Wrap the sheet, forming a roll, which is cut into 8-10 pieces. Each piece is tightened at one end and placed - side by side - with the side tightened down, in a round cake shape, greased with butter and lined with flour. Let it rise for another 1/2 hour, then put it in the pan in the oven, where it is kept for 30-40 minutes at the right heat. You get a good-looking cake, like a bouquet of rosebuds. A few minutes after baking, take the cake out of the mold, carefully, so that the "roses" remain together, and place on the plate.
20. COZONAC WITH APPLES AND POPPY
For 2 cakes you need:
& # 82261/2 kg flour
& # 822640 g yeast
& # 8226100 ml oil
& # 8226putin unt
& # 82263 oua
& # 8226milk

& # 82261 kg mere
& # 8226200 g mac
& # 8226sare
& # 8226 grated lemon peel.
1. First make yeast mayonnaise, a little warm water and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
2. As the mayonnaise grows, take care of the filling for which you clean the apples, pass them through the grater with small meshes, drain the juice and put them to harden in a little butter.
3. Pass the macaroni through the coffee grinder and then put it over the apples and let it harden together.
4. Set everything aside and take care of the dough.
5. Knead normally, as with any cake, adding warm milk, oil, eggs, a pinch of salt and a drop of lemon peel.
6. Press the flour on the table or on the board where you usually work the cakes, divide the crust in two and spread each piece with the rolling pin.
7. Put the filling, spread it all over the surface, roll and place in a pan greased with oil or butter.
8. Bake over medium heat for 40 minutes.
9. Take care! After the cake is baked, take it out of the pan, let it cool and then cut it.
10. If you cut it hot, you know it will fall or as they say with us it crosses.
There are three secrets that lead to the success of a cake, in addition to a good recipe:
- kneading for a long time (at least 30 minutes by hand) until the dough has the consistency of the earlobe (don't laugh, that's how I tested it, with one hand I felt the cake, with another ear until I thought it was ok) if you have a machine the kneading is even better, but it won't be so authentic
- when you leave it to rise, cover it and place it in a place away from the current (you can put it in the oven not turned on, for example)
- all ingredients should be at room temperature, otherwise the dough will not grow so nicely
600 gr flour
125 gr butter
120 ml sour cream
50 ml milk
70 ml water
100 gr sugar
1 vanilla sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1 vial of vanilla essence
grated peel from an orange
25 gr fresh yeast
300 gr poppy seeds ground in a coffee machine
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons sugar (you can put more, to taste)
1 vanilla sugar
1 vial of vanilla essence
1. Dissolve the yeast in a little warm milk and let it swell for about 10 minutes.
2. From all the ingredients, then knead a dough. Knead by hand for 30 minutes if you don't have a bread machine or kneading robot. Then cover the dough with a foil or towel and put it back in a warm place without rising currents for at least 1 hour.
3. As the dough grows, prepare the filling: put the ingredients to boil until the poppy is soft (about 20 minutes). At the end add the vanilla essence.
4. When it is well risen, divide the dough in half. Spread 2 sheets and each greased with poppy seeds boiled in milk, then roll. The two resulting rolls are woven and placed in a tray (mine had a diameter of 26cm). Leave to rise in the pan for about 30 -45 minutes.
5. Grease the cake with beaten egg yolk with a little milk and garnish with sugar and poppy seeds.
6. Bake at 180C until golden brown, about 50 minutes -1 hour.

A new law that allows law enforcement to require a driver suspected of drunk or impaired driving to give a blood sample is being enforced in Anderson County from Tuesday, July 3 through Sunday, July 8, District Attorney General Dave Clark announced Monday.
Clark said it is Tennessee’s first operation to implement the new law and will involve saturation patrols, roadblocks and other special law enforcement actions.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol is leading the operation and will be assisted by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department. Clark and his assistant district attorneys along with Circuit Court Judge Don Elledge will be standing by 24 hours a day during this period to process search warrants for blood samples under the new law, according to a press release from the district attorney general’s office.
This new law means that drivers who have been stopped by law enforcement for suspicion of driving under the influence, or DUI, can not refuse to give a breath or blood sample. If a driver refuses, there is a procedure that allows law enforcement to request a search warrant to obtain a blood sample.
“We are going to great lengths to make Anderson County a better and safer place to live and that includes making the traveling public safer from drunk drivers,” Clark said. “The ability to obtain blood sample search warrants is brand new in Tennessee but we believe it will be an important tool in deterring impaired driving.”
Clark said breath samples don’t detect drugs and illegally obtained prescription drugs like they do alcohol, so they are ineffective at providing evidence against those types of impaired drivers.
Last year 946 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes in Tennessee. Of those, about 289 were killed in traffic accidents that involved alcohol.
The new state law was made effective Tennessee July 1. Other special operations in other parts of the state will be planned to make all drivers aware of the new law, Clark said.

"Discount azithin 250mg free shipping, antibiotics for acne long term effects".
By: L. Armon, M.B. B.CH. B.A.O., Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine
In its upper half bacteria killing products discount azithin 250mg fast delivery, the sulcus limitans constitutes the lateral limit of the floor of the fourth ventricle virus biology purchase 500 mg azithin visa. Here, a small area of bluish-grey pigmentation denotes the presence of the subjacent locus coeruleus. Caudal to the facial colliculus, on the degree of the lateral recess of the ventricle, a variable group of nerve fibre fascicles, often known as the striae medullaris, runs transversely throughout the ventricular ground and passes into the median sulcus. In the inferior half, the medial eminence is represented by the hypoglossal triangle (trigone), which lies over the hypoglossal nucleus. Caudal to the inferior fovea, between the hypoglossal triangle and the vestibular space, is the vagal triangle (trigone), which covers the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. A slender translucent ridge, the funiculus separans, which is separated from the gracile tubercle by the small space postrema, crosses below the vagal triangle. The roof of the fourth ventricle is formed by the superior and inferior medullary veli. The inferior medullary velum is more advanced and is mostly composed of a skinny sheet, devoid of neural tissue, formed by ventricular ependyma and the pia mater of the tela choroidea. Just inferior to the nodule of the cerebellum, a median aperture, the foramen of Magendie, opens the roof of the fourth ventricle into the cisterna magna. Adult mammalian neurogenesis occurs in discrete neurogenic niches which are greatest characterized in the ependymal and subependymal glial cell layers in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus and in the subventricular zone; the existence of adult human neurogenic niches is controversial. The vascular organ lies within the lamina terminalis between the optic chiasma and the anterior commissure. Its exterior zone contains a richly fenestrated vascular plexus that covers glia and a community of nerve fibres. The ependymal cells of the vascular organ, like those of different circumventricular organs, are flattened and have few cilia. The major inputs appear to come from the subfornical organ, locus coeruleus and a selection of hypothalamic nuclei. It is concerned in the regulation of fluid steadiness and can also have neuroendocrine features. It contains many neurones, glial cells and a dense fenestrated capillary Table 18. The best spot for fenestration is within the midline, halfway between the dorsum sellae (short black arrow) and the basilar artery (short white arrow). The paired mammillary our bodies (long black arrow) and the infundibular recess (long white arrow) are also seen. It is believed to have widespread hypothalamic interconnections and to operate within the regulation of fluid stability and thirst. The neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) is the location of termination of neurosecretory projections from the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus. Neurones in these nuclei release vasopressin and oxytocin respectively into the capillary mattress of the neurohypophysis, where the hormones achieve entry to the final circulation. The median eminence incorporates the terminations of axons of hypothalamic neurosecretory cells. Peptides released from these axons management the hormonal secretions of the anterior pituitary by way of the pituitary portal system of vessels. The subcommissural organ lies ventral to and beneath the posterior commissure, near the inferior wall of the pineal recess. The pineal gland is a small construction, approximately eight mm in diameter, located rostrodorsal to the superior colliculus and behind the stria medullaris. The space postrema is a bilaterally paired structure, positioned at the caudal restrict of the ground of the fourth ventricle. It is an important chemoreceptive space that triggers vomiting in response to the presence of emetic substances within the blood. The space postrema, along with the nucleus of the solitary tract and the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus, makes up the so-called dorsal vagal complex, which is the most important termination website of vagal afferent nerve fibres.
The dentate nucleus is located most laterally and is by far the biggest of the group antibiotic resistance threats in the united states cdc generic azithin 100mg fast delivery. It has the shape of a crumpled purse; the primary efferent pathway of the cerebellum virus your computer has been blocked department of justice buy azithin online from canada, the brachium conjunctivum, emerges from its hilus. The convolutions of the dentate nucleus are slender rostro medially and far wider ventrocaudally. Their significance and the potential correspond ence with the anatomical subdivisions of the dentate are thought of beneath. The extensively diverging mossy fibreparallel fibre system terminates on Purkinje cells (the only output neurones of the cortex projecting to the cerebellar and vestibular nuclei); a climbing fibre terminates on the proximal, easy Purkinje cell dendrites; Golgi cells present backward inhibition to granule cells; and stellate and basket cells present forward inhibition to Purkinje cells. Climbing fibres and most mossy fibres are excitatory and use gluta mate as their neurotransmitter. All climbing fibres take their origin from the contralateral inferior olivary nucleus in the medulla oblongata. In the cerebellum, they split into several branches, each department offering a climbing fibre to a single Purkinje cell. They distribute bilaterally and emit collaterals at specific, symmetrical locations. These collaterals terminate as sagittally orientated aggregates of mossy fibre terminals. These climbing fibres form narrow, longitudinally oriented strips which will correspond to the microzones; strips of Purkinje cells that share the identical climbing fibre receptive Uvula fields. Microzones, with their Purkinje cells, are considered to be the fundamental structural and practical unit of the cerebellar cortex (Andersson and Oscarsson 1978). Mossy fibres take their origin from multiple sources in the spinal twine and brainstem. Their myelinated axons terminate on the clawlike dendrites of the granule cells and on Golgi cells. The granule cells give rise to an ascending axon that splits within the molecular layer into two parallel fibres that run for a long way within the direction of the long axis of the folia. The father or mother fibres enter the cerebellum laterally and run a transverse course to decussate within the cerebellar commissure. During their course, they emit thin collaterals that enter the white matter of the lobules and terminate in a number of, longitudinally orien tated and symmetrically distributed aggregates of mossy fibre terminals in the granular layer (Wu et al 1999). The climbing fibre microzones and the subjacent mossy fibre aggre gates have been discovered to share the identical peripheral receptive fields in regions of the cerebellum receiving somatosensory info from the periphery (Ekerot and Larson 1980, Ekerot and J�rntell 2003). A related topographical relationship between microzones and mossy fibre terminal aggregates exists in different components of the cerebellar cortex; their frequent denominator stays unknown (Pijpers et al 2006). The sig nificance of such a topographical relationship is troublesome to understand as a outcome of the parallel fibres would disperse a localized mossy fibre enter over a wide, mediolateral region of the molecular layer. Different hypotheses to clarify this topographical relationship have been pro posed, some of the newer ones involving the interneurones of the cerebellar cortex, but the matter remains undecided (Ekerot and J�rntell 2003, Barmack and Yakhnitsa 2011). Some of these Purkinje cell zones are restricted to sure lobules; others span the entire rostrocaudal length of the cerebellum. Climbing fibres from 338 a subdivision of the contralateral inferior olive terminate on the Purkinje cells of a specific zone and likewise ship a collateral innervation to the corresponding deep cerebellar nucleus. Modules could be visualized as a end result of their Purkinje cell axons and their climbing fibre afferents collect in compartments in the cerebellar white matter. The modular group of the cerebellum has been studied in most element in rodents and carnivores, and has been confirmed in nonhuman primates. The modular group of the cerebellum seems very early throughout its improvement, lengthy before the emergence of any of its trans verse fissures. Purkinje cells, born in the ventricular matrix of the cere bellar anlage, migrate to the meningeal floor, the place they type a collection of mediolaterally arranged clusters (Korneliussen 1968, Kappel 1981). The Purkinje cells become situated in a monolayer and the original borders between the clusters are no longer seen. This mode of growth has been studied in several species and can additionally be recognized in the human fetal cerebellum. This cluster develops into the D2 zone, probably the most lateral Purkinje cell zone, responsible for the big measurement of the human cerebellar hemisphere. Purkinje cell zones differ of their climbing fibre afferents and their cerebellar or vestibular target nucleus. Moreover, Purkinje cells of the completely different zones differ of their immunohistochemical properties (Voogd and Ruigrok 2012).
The first to develop are these destined to become brief intersegmental fibres from the neuroblasts in the intermediate zone virus download generic azithin 250 mg, and fibres of dorsal roots of spinal nerves that move into the spinal twine from neuroblasts of the early spinal ganglia bacteria zip line girl buy 250mg azithin fast delivery. The earlier dorsal root fibres that invade the dorsal marginal zone come up from small dorsal root ganglionic neuroblasts. This bundle increases in measurement and, spreading in the course of the median aircraft, forms the primitive posterior funiculus of fantastic calibre. As the posterior funiculi improve in thickness, their medial surfaces come into contact, separated only by the posterior medial septum, which is ependymal in origin and neuroglial in nature. It is thought that the displaced primitive posterior funiculus might type the premise of the dorsolateral tract or fasciculus (of Lissauer). Their disposition could also be decided partly by contact steerage along the earliest radial array of glial fibres that cross the full thickness of the early neuroepithelium. This enlargement outlines the anterior (ventral) column of the gray matter and causes a ventral projection on both sides of the median airplane; the floor plate stays at the backside of the shallow groove so produced. As development proceeds, these enlargements, which are further increased by the event of the anterior funiculi (tracts of axons passing to and from the brain), encroach on the groove until it turns into converted into the slit-like anterior median fissure of the adult spinal twine. The axons of a variety of the neuroblasts within the anterior grey column cross the marginal zone and emerge as bundles of ventral spinal nerve rootlets on the anterolateral aspect of the spinal cord. These constitute, finally, both the -efferents that establish motor end-plates on extrafusal striated muscle fibres and the -efferents that innervate the contractile polar areas of the intrafusal muscle fibres of the muscle spindles. Maturation of the spinal wire Long intersegmental fibres begin to seem at concerning the third month and corticospinal fibres are seen at in regards to the fifth month. In many websites, gradual growth continues for lengthy durations, even into the postpubertal years. The cervical and lumbar enlargements seem at the time of the development of their respective limb buds. Lateral grey column In the thoracic and upper lumbar regions, some intermediate zone neuroblasts in the dorsal part of the basal plate define a lateral column. Their axons be a part of the emerging ventral nerve roots and pass as preganglionic fibres to the ganglia of the sympathetic trunk or related ganglia, the majority finally myelinating to type white rami communicantes. The axons within the rami synapse on the autonomic ganglionic neurones, and axons of some of the latter pass as postganglionic fibres to innervate easy muscle cells, adipose tissue or glandular cells. Other preganglionic sympathetic efferent axons cross to the cells of the suprarenal medulla. It offers origin to the preganglionic parasympathetic fibres that run in the pelvic splanchnic nerves. The anterior area of every basal plate initially varieties a continuous column of cells throughout the length of the creating wire. This quickly develops into two columns (on every side): one is medially placed and anxious with innervation of axial musculature, and the other is laterally placed and innervates the limbs. At limb levels, the lateral column enlarges enormously, but regresses at different ranges. From the second trimester, the vertebral column grows extra rapidly than the spinal wire; the connection between the conus medullaris and the vertebral column due to this fact adjustments as the conus gradually ascends to lie at higher vertebral ranges (Barson 1970). Most of this relative rostral migration occurs through the first half of intrauterine life. By the twenty-fifth week, the terminal ventricle of the spinal cord has altered in level from the second coccygeal vertebra to the third lumbar, a distance of 9 segments. As the change in degree begins rostrally, the caudal finish of the terminal ventricle, which is adherent to the overlying ectoderm, stays in situ, and the partitions of the intermediate part of the ventricle and its masking pia mater turn out to be drawn out to type a delicate filament, the filum terminale. The separated portion of the terminal ventricle persists for a time, nevertheless it usually disappears earlier than start. It does, however, sometimes give rise to congenital cysts within the neighbourhood of the coccyx. In the definitive state, the higher cervical spinal nerves retain their place roughly at proper angles to the cord. Proceeding caudally, the nerve roots lengthen and become progressively more oblique. By full time period (40 weeks), the conus medullaris lies between the first and third lumbar vertebrae. Central nervous system Determining the prenatal place of the conus medullaris relative to specific vertebrae is a extensively used method of identifying the termination of the spinal twine. The often wide discrepancies between revealed values attest to the fact that ageing preterm infants stays an inexact science.
Order azithin with visa. Surprising Sources for Fighting Antibiotic Resistance | Juan Martinez | TEDxLSU.
Intestinal metaplasia found in the urinary bladder incorporates cell varieties and markers usually found in the colon (Sung et al 2006) virus titer order azithin pills in toronto. Glandular metaplasias are particularly common in the alimentary canal and in the feminine reproductive tract (Kurita 2011) bacteria helicobacter pylori sintomas cheap azithin 100 mg amex, perhaps as a end result of these are each 1. The clinical importance of metaplasias stems from the reality that they usually predispose to most cancers. For example, carcinomas of the bronchus usually arise inside areas of squamous metaplasia (Auerbach et al 1961) and carcinomas of the abdomen normally come up in areas of intestinal metaplasia (Busuttil and Boussioutas 2009). Metaplasias arise as a result of the mixture of gene actions that defines the tissue type in embryonic improvement turns into altered in grownup life. For example, the transcription factor p63 is essential for the formation of squamous epithelia (Koster et al 2004) and is at all times found to be expressed in patches of squamous metaplasia. In experiments with mice, ectopic expression of the Cdx2 gene, usually needed for intestinal growth, results in patches of intestinal tissue in the stomach (Silberg et al 2002, Mutoh et al 2002). Conversely, deletion of Cdx2 from the gut leads to oesophagus-like or stomach-like patches in the gut (Gao et al 2009, Stringer et al 2012). A, Normal endoscopic look showing the junction between gastric columnar and oesophageal squamous epithelium (Z-line). In much less developed nations, most oesophageal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, arising from the traditional squamous lining of the oesophagus but, in the Western world, adenocarcinomas are now extra widespread. This is the case for intestinal metaplasia of the abdomen, the place neighbouring metaplastic crypts arise by fission (Gutierrez-Gonzalez et al 2011). A key property of metaplastic foci is that the new tissue is in a state of affairs of aggressive progress with the old tissue that surrounds it. The normal oesophagus originates from an endodermal tube lined with columnar epithelium, which becomes squamous between about 6�7 weeks of gestation. Although lined with squamous epithelium, the tissue additionally accommodates mucous glands linked by ducts to the lumen, that are positioned in the submucosa however originate from the original embryonic oesophageal epithelium. Obesity is a well-known danger issue for reflux, partly due to effects on intra-abdominal strain and possibly additionally via the results of cytokines launched from fat (Corley et al 2007). Gastro-oesophageal reflux is normally handled with proton pump inhibitors that cut back the levels of abdomen acid. Mutoh H, Hakamata Y, Sato K et al 2002 Conversion of gastric mucosa to intestinal metaplasia in Cdx2-expressing transgenic mice. The electron beam is generated beneath vacuum at pressures and temperatures which are nominally incompatible with liquid water, but water is essentially the most ample mobile constituent. Heavy metallic salts are added for positive staining of mounted and embedded specimens or adverse staining of entire buildings which have been deposited on a help film (Glauert and Lewis 1998). The arrow highlights a glomerular capillary, fringed with foot processes, which might be selected for investigation at greater decision by transmission electron microscopy (see Video 1. Most chemical fixatives react with proteins and cross-link peptide chains as a half of their motion (Glauert and Lewis 1998). These reactions can be extremely deleterious to epitopes, considerably compromising immunohistochemical research. Cryo-fixation has two distinct advantages over chemical fixation (Nermut and Frank 1971, Nermut 1991). Many protein networks are labile and prone to disruption with even a slight osmotic or temperature change; cryo-fixation minimizes these deleterious results. Cryo-techniques enable the study of organic samples with improved ultrastructural preservation and should facilitate the study of dynamic processes. Rapid freezing prevents artefactual aggregations of proteins as a end result of tissue fixation and processing can be performed with no or minimal use of cross-linking fixatives, which means that samples retain larger antigenicity (Kellenberger 1991, Hayat 2000, Claeys et al 2004). Other specialized areas include the prognosis of main ciliary dyskinesia; sure skin/connective tissue disorders. Areas to the left of the dashed line are at room temperature, indicating that samples could be handled without the requirement for specialist cryo-operating procedures. Samples to the proper of the dashed line must be handled in a way appropriate for vitreous organic samples, taking specific care to pre-cool instruments before approaching or manipulating samples.

UPDATED: As expected, the bill extending the payroll tax cut and unemployment insurance easily passed Congress today. Federal unions, employee groups, and fed-friendly lawmakers are enraged, however, because the bill would drastically hike future feds’ pension contributions from 0.8 percent to 3.1 percent.
The bill would also make future lawmakers and their staffs receive the same pension rate as everyday feds. But Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., who has been pushing hard to cut Congress’ more-generous pensions and increase feds’ retirement contributions, voted against the bill. Said Ross:
We should stop congressional pension perks because it is the right thing to do, not to pay for something else. We should require federal workers to join the rest of America and actually pay something for their pensions because it is the right thing to do, not to pay for something else.
The House this morning approved it 293 to 132, and the Senate soon followed, passing it 60 to 36. It now heads to President Obama for his signature.

Komunikujeme o.p.s. has been implementing its own projects for many years, often with a European overlap. Our goal is to realize such activities that really support, help and educate our clients, deal with current problems and issues and create tangible results. In recent years we have been mainly focusing on people with various disadvantages, whether they are minorities, families with children in a difficult life situation, seniors, or people with health disabilities.
The offer of specific interconnected complex activities (education, retraining, counseling, meaningful leisure activities, psychotherapy, career counseling and coaching) lead clients to more satisfied and fulfilled lives.
We want our organization to be open to as many clients as possible, so we work hard to offer help without unnecessary obstacles and barriers. We believe that we are able to help the majority of clients at least partially and offer them services from our projects.
- education, seminars on various topics, especially for people with disabilities
- activities within our community center in Prague 2
- psychological, psychotherapeutic services
- career and life counseling
- the possibility of internships and volunteering
- possibility of cooperation on projects
- the possibility of renting premises
Recently, our organization has been trying to implement more Czech projects so that the support and finance will be fully utilized for Czech citizens. We help our clients find a better place in their lives and work. We believe that psychological assistance and counseling, in particular, is a tool by which we can positively influence the lives of our clients, and so we offer a wide range of therapeutic assistance to those who find themselves in a difficult life situation, completely free of charge.
Other tools include educational activities, meaningful spending of free time, lectures, public enlightenment activities and more.

The Health of Black Canadians in COVID-19 Times and Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately caused harm among racialized people and in particular, among Black Canadians. However, everything we knew coming into the pandemic, about why there are racial health inequities, could and should have prevented these disproportionate harms. What was known about racial health inequities coming into the COVID-19 pandemic? Why didn’t government and broad society act on this information? What needs to change and how might this happen? Explore these questions and delve deeper into this topic with guest speaker Dr. Arjumand Siddiqi as she presents a Zoom webinar on Feb. 11 as part of Carleton University’s ACE EDI event series.
Professor and Division Head of Epidemiology, Canada Research Chair in Population Health Equity at Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
Arjumand Siddiqi is a Social Epidemiologist. She is Professor and Division Head of Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, where she holds the Canada Research Chair in Population Health Equity. She also holds cross appointments in Public Policy and Sociology at the University of Toronto, as well as an adjunct appointment at the Gillings School of Global Public Health, University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill. Dr. Siddiqi’s research centers on understanding why health inequalities are so pervasive and persistent, and what can be done about this, with an emphasis on the role of societal conditions (policy, politics, economy, and so on). Dr. Siddiqi also engages with governmental and non-governmental entities, including the Government of Ontario, the Government of Canada, and the World Health Organization.

There has been a lot spoken about annuities over the years, but many people are still unsure exactly what they are. For anybody with a pension, whether to purchase an annuity or not is a big decision, and something which pension companies will push – but what are they exactly?
Why do annuities exist?
Despite what many people have been led to believe, a pension does not automatically supply you with an income during your retirement. Ultimately, the pension you’ve been paying into for a number of years is actually just a pot of money. When you retire, the premise is that you then use that pot of money to buy a product to supply you with an income during your retirement, rather than taking an income directly from the pension pot itself.
An annuity is one such product.
For many people, an annuity is the default product which they will purchase from their existing pension provider without reviewing all their options. An annuity is just one way of taking your retirement income, but there are other options, and also multiple types of annuities.
What is an annuity?
When you want to start withdrawing your pension, you first need to turn it into an income.
An annuity is a financial product which you purchase from an insurance company which does exactly that. Once purchased, your annuity will provide you with a regular income for the rest of your life.
The way that an annuity is sold is that it will be a percentage of your total pension pot. Therefore, if you’re offered an annuity rate at 5% and you have a pension pot of £500,000, you will receive £25,000 per year as an income for the rest of your life.
Who is eligible to buy an annuity?
Annuities can be purchased by anybody with a personal pension or a defined contribution workplace pension. With other types of pensions, such as defined benefit or final salary, your income is paid directly to you and as such there’s no need to purchase an annuity.
For British expats with QROPS or QNUPS, while it may be possible to purchase an annuity, in most cases there is no need as you can draw your income directly from the scheme. These schemes also offer benefits around estate planning and inheritance tax.
Annuities are also not applicable for state pensions.
Where can I buy an annuity
Annuities are sold by an insurer who offer you a fixed income for the remainder of your life. As with any insurance which is not required by law, in some ways it’s a gamble. The key thing to remember is that once you have made your decision, you do not have the chance to change your mind afterwards.
Therefore it is key that before you make any decisions you seek independent advice to ensure you have uncovered all of your options.
As with any company trying to sell you something, often what looks good in principle may have a catch.
When can I buy an annuity?
Up to six months before you are due to retire, you will receive some information from your pension provider giving you information about the value of your pension and the annuities available. They should also clearly explain the benefits of shopping around. A report produced by the FCA in February 2014 highlighted that this was not being communicated enough and that more often that not, people were simply not aware they could shop around.
Over the next few months you will be asked a series of questions before you get to choose your annuity. Much like health insurance, these will give the annuity provider information about your lifestyle, enabling them to estimate your expected remaining life span.
Benefits of purchasing an annuity
The major benefit of purchasing an annuity is that it provides you with a guaranteed income. Typically, your income will not be impacted by external factors which allows you to plan based on the known income for the rest of your life.
If you choose the right annuity, you may also not be affected by inflation as the actual income you receive will be set to rise with inflation, thus ensuring that rises in the cost of living are also more closely met.
If you have health issues, you may also benefit as an insurer is likely to offer a higher annuity rate due to your lower life expectancy. This can be as much as 60-65% more.
Of course, if you live longer than your life expectancy, you may actually find that your total income is actually greater than your final pension pot.
Drawbacks of purchasing annuities
Once you’ve purchased your annuity, that’s it. You cannot ever change your mind. This is why seeking advice and shopping around is so important. Once your annuity is purchased, the income for the remainder of your life is set.
This exposes another major drawback. You also cannot leave anything behind for your loved ones. This means that if you die before you’ve received your full pension, the rest of the pension pot stays with the insurer.
Annuity rates, just like interest rates, fluctuate all the time and are not solely based on your personal situation. Much like with a mortgage, you only have a small window of time to make your decision and if the economic situation is not well set, you could find yourself stuck with a lower annuity rate than if you retired a few years earlier/later.
I’m an expat, do I still have to purchase an annuity?
If you are an expat, you can still purchase an annuity. However, there are also options available for you which mean you don’t have to purchase an annuity.
Making a decision about an annuity
The biggest danger with annuities is not being aware of all your options. Your pension provider is keen to sell you annuities through them and will obviously make them attractive.
You should never make a decision about whether to, or which annuity to purchase without at least reviewing the full market and getting a range of quotes.
Getting advice vs not getting advice
Always remember that when you purchase an annuity most of the time it cannot be altered once it’s in place. Therefore it’s vital that you seek independent advice to ensure that all potential options and products have been explored before you make a decision.
If you are an expat, it is even more important to seek advice due to the additional options of offshore financial products which are not always communicated by your UK pension provider or adviser. The initial consultations are nearly always free and have no obligation, so the risk of exploring your options is minimal – especially when the trade of is peace of mind for the rest of your life.

Gimli was the son of Gloin of the Middle-earth. He was a member of the Fellowship of the Ring. He was the only dwarf who was too ready to fight with elves in the war against Sauron during the third age. After defeating the Sauron, he has become the Lord of the Glittering Caves at Helm's Deep. Gimli Battle Axe was the long axe used by the dwarf Gimli in the Lord of the Rings. Gimli used this axe in these films, where he used it against the Warg Riders to defend the Rohirrim villagers.
Theoden is the imaginary character in J.R.R Tolkien's fantasy novel the Lord of the Rings. He appears as a supporting character in The Two Towers and The Return of the King. When he first introduced, he was weak and became only the instrument in the war against Saruman and Sauron. The Herugrim Sword belongs to the Theoden.

Many people fail to recognize that pets can also experience dermatological health conditions. However, most dermatological conditions are easily treatable if handled by a professional veterinary staff. If you notice that your pet has a rash or is starting to lose patches of fur, you need to make an appointment with our veterinarians at Desert Forest Animal Hospital. Desert Forest Animal Hospital is a licensed full-service veterinary clinic in Cave Creek, AZ that offers pet dermatology diagnostics, prevention, and treatment.
Symptoms of Pet Dermatological Conditions
Although you may not notice some obvious symptoms such as rash, irritation, dry skin, and sores without thoroughly examining your pet, his or her behavior can be a significant indicator of a skin-related problem. Pets with skin conditions often scratch and chew on themselves obsessively and may even constantly rub their ears. Paw licking is the #1 sign of allergies in pets. This can lead to hair loss if left untreated.
Causes of Pet Dermatological Conditions
Most skin conditions in pets are caused by allergies, mites, or hives and can be easily treated. However, certain conditions caused by a severe bacterial or parasitic infection can lead to serious health complications. Cushing’s Disease and hypothyroidism can also cause pets to develop skin conditions. Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet to determine the cause of their skin condition and provide appropriate treatment.
Preventing Pet Dermatological Conditions
If it is determined that your pet’s skin condition is the result of allergies, you will be able to prevent future issues by altering your pet’s diet or switching to different products that you commonly use on your pet or in your home. We can also provide medications for you to use if your pet’s allergies do flair up.
It may be recommended that you take precautions to prevent parasitic infections or increase grooming. Our veterinarians will be able to provide advice on preventing future skin conditions from developing after we have examined your pet and determined the cause of the rash or irritation.
Contact Us for an Appointment with Our Veterinary Dermatologists in Cave Creek, AZ
If you notice signs of a dermatological issue in your pet, contact our professional staff today. It’s essential to seek veterinary care as soon as possible to determine the cause, obtain treatment, and prevent the condition from worsening. At Desert Forest Animal Hospital, we are committed to providing quality care and can evaluate your pet’s skin condition for a formal diagnosis. We also offer parasite prevention services to avoid future issues from occurring. If you are a pet owner in or around the Cave Creek area, contact us for an appointment today!

Relatively dry conditions persist in Southern California; Sierra Nevada snowfall best in years
A handful of modest weather systems have brought generally light precipitation and cold temperatures to parts of California over the past week or so, mostly in the north. While these systems did little to alleviate long-term water deficits, they did preferentially add some more water to the already healthy Sierra Nevada snowpack. In fact, statewide snow water equivalent is slightly above average for this calendar date.
Long-awaited East Pacific pattern change finally at our doorstep
The large-scale atmospheric shift I’ve been referencing in nearly every blog post from the past 6 months has finally materialized. This is the classic El Niño pattern that I have discussed in previous posts, with a powerful Pacific jet aimed either directly at or south of California.
The area along of just north of the jet stream is a favorable position for storm development and intensification. Usually, California is located near the regional minimum of jet stream strength as it veers northward, but the imminent pattern shift will create a situation in which storms are much more likely to maintain their open-ocean strength or even strengthen as the approach California from the west.
California’s favorable position to the north of a very strong subtropical jet leads to large instability in model solutions due to the much faster growth rate of storm systems than would typically be the case here (and, therefore, we should all expect forecasts to bounce around quite a bit in the coming days).
But the screaming message, at this point, is that quite a few storms will affect California over the next 2-3 weeks. It seems very likely at this point that virtually all of California will experience significant, perhaps heavy, precipitation.
And what of El Niño itself? Well, it’s still a top-tier event on par with those which occurred during 1982-1983 and 1997-1998. It is quite clear that a powerful El Niño influence will remain in place for the rest of California’s rainy season.
California’s drought condition and its impact on the California Almond crop is an important topic for our readers. Blue Diamond would like to thank Mr. Swain for allowing us to post excerpts of his articles on our website. To view the article in its entirety click here.

When hoarseness doesn’t improve, or it frequently returns, don’t wait to have it treated. If you keep using your voice when it’s already strained, you increase your risk of problems like vocal nodules. At Bayou ENT, Chris Gaffga, MD, and Jamie Guillot, APRN, have years of experience identifying the cause of hoarseness and creating a customized treatment that restores your normal voice. Call the office in New Iberia, Louisiana, or make an appointment online today to get exceptional care for hoarseness.
Hoarseness, also called dysphonia, refers to changes in the quality of your voice. When you speak, your voice may sound:
Hoarseness is a sign that you have voice problems or, more precisely, that something is wrong with your vocal cords.
Many people develop temporary hoarseness when allergies or an upper respiratory infection affect their throat. Speaking too loudly or in an unusually high or low pitch also leads to a hoarse voice.
Overusing your voice, also called vocal abuse, causes hoarseness by straining your vocal cords. This common problem often occurs when you yell during a sporting event, sing in a concert, talk too much, or frequently clear your throat.
Other causes of hoarseness include:
Spasmodic dysphonia is a voice disorder that occurs when the muscles in your voice box spasm.
You should schedule an examination at Bayou ENT when your hoarseness lasts three weeks or longer, you lose your voice for more than a few days, or when you have any of the following symptoms:
If you’re a vocal professional, you should get a prompt evaluation for hoarseness.
Bayou ENT examines your voice box and vocal cords to diagnose the reason for your hoarseness. They may use a slender tube equipped with lighting and a camera to visualize your vocal cords and run specialized tests that evaluate sound, airflow, and other qualities.
The treatment you receive depends on the cause of your hoarseness. Laryngitis and voice overuse generally improve when you rest your voice and hydrate your throat. Vocal cord nodules often respond well to voice therapy, while Bayou ENT surgically removes polyps and cysts.
Many people with hoarseness, especially those who rely on their voice for their profession, benefit from voice therapy. Voice therapy helps you prevent vocal cord strain by teaching you ways to change pitch and volume when talking.
When hoarseness doesn’t improve, don’t wait to get help. Call Bayou ENT or book a consultation online today.

ESSENTIAL OIL COMPOSITION AND ANTIMICROBIAL SCREENING OF LAUNAEA NUDICAULIS GROWN IN OMANHTML Full Text
ESSENTIAL OIL COMPOSITION AND ANTIMICROBIAL SCREENING OF LAUNAEA NUDICAULIS GROWN IN OMAN
Jamila A. Al-Mahrezi 1, Jamal Nasser Al-Sabahi 2, Mohammed Sohail Akhtar 1, Dina Selim 1 and Afaf Mohammed Weli*1
School of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy and Nursing 1, University of Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman
Central Instrument Laboratory, College of Agricultural and Marine Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University 2, Sultanate of Oman
Research Center 3, University of Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman
The essential oil of the aerial parts of Launaea nudicaulis was isolated using Clevenger's apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS instrument. Different extracts of the aerial parts of Launaea nudicaulis were tested for their activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Seventeen constituents were identified in the essential oil. The major constituents in the essential oil are limonene, Z-citral and E-citral. The three polar extracts (hydro alcoholic, Ethyl acetate and butanol extracts) showed good activity against Gram +ve and Gram-ve bacteria. On the other hand, non-polar extracts (petroleum ether extract and chloroform extract) did not show any antibacterial activity.
INTRODUCTION: Launaea nudicaulis is an herb which belongs to the family Compositae (Asteraceae). It's known in Pakistan as Jangli booti and its Arabic name is Al-Hewa 1, 2. The genus Launaea possesses phytochemical features, such as terpenoids, phenolics, flavones and coumarins 3-13.
Many of the plants belonging to the genus Launaea are used in folk medicine for skin disease, as anti-tumors, anthelmintics, insecticidal and for renal disorders 14-17.
In Pakistan, Launaea nudicaulis has many uses in folk medicine; its milky material is taken during constipation. Leaves are used to relieve fever in children, in treatment of itches of skin, cuts, ulcers, swelling, bilious fever, eczema, eruption and rheumatism. Its roots are used in toothache 1.
In Omani traditional medicine, Launaea nudicaulis is used to accelerate healing of wounds and for the treatment of abscesses due to its antimicrobial activity 2. In this study, we aimed to isolate essential oil from the aerial parts of Launaea nudicaulis and analyze it by GC/MS technique to identify its constituents in comparison with the constituents of essential oil isolated from the aerial parts of the same plant grown in Saudi-Arabia 18.
Alcoholic extracts of Launaea nudicaulis grown in Pakistan were tested for their antimicrobial activity 1. Our second rationale was to obtain different extracts of the aerial parts of Launaea nudicaulis grown in Sultanate of Oman to be tested for their activity against Gram +ve and Gram-ve bacteria as compared to the results of the Pakistani study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Materials: Clevenger's apparatus (1 Liter), Normkam Company Instrument GC "Perkin Elmer Model # Clarus 600: equipped with MS "Perkin Elmer Model # Clarus 600C". The oven temperature was programmed from 60-280◦C (hold for 2 minutes) at a rate of 3◦C/min. Helium was used as carrier gas with flow rate of 1ml/min. Mass spectra were continuously recorded from 40-500 m/z. The MS operating parameters were: ionization voltage of 70ev, scan rate of 500amu/s.
Each compound was identified by comparison of their spectral data with reference spectra in the data bases (Wiley AccessPak V7, May 2003 and NIST2005 version 2.1.0)
Absolute ethanol, butanol, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and petroleum ether were obtained from Sigma chemical company.
Gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were obtained from Nizwa Hospital, Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman.
Filter paper discs of diameter 6 mm, Whatmman Company, Catalogue number: 8174900, Sharlau Chemie Company Nutrient agar and plastic petri dishes. Incubator: Gen Lab, Model: MINO/75F, Serial number: Y5K041 Volt: 240A.C., 1 PH, 50 Hz, Load 1 K.W, 4 MPS.
Plant collection: The plant samples were collected from Sultanate of Oman, Al-Mudhaibi region, Ba'ad Village, 90 Km from Sahwa Tower, 18Km on the left, in November 2009. They were identified by Dr. Sulaiman Said Al-Khinjari, at the research center, Nizwa University and the identity was confirmed in the Department of Botany, Sultan Qaboos University. A voucher specimen was deposited at the herbarium of Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat.
Isolation of Essential Oil: The aerial parts of Launaea nudicaulis were separated from fresh plant material (2.8Kg) and were subjected to steam distillation using Clevenger's apparatus (1L) to isolate the essential oil. About 1ml of light oil was obtained and analyzed by GC/MS instrument. The antibacterial activity of the isolated oil was tested against two organisms, E-coli, and S. aureus on nutrient agar plates using disc diffusion method 5. The plates were placed in an incubator for 24 hours at 37oC and then observed the diameters of inhibition zones.
Extraction: After collection and identification of the plant, the aerial parts were separated, washed and dried in the shed for one week. 140g of the dried plant material were macerated in 2L of 99.9% ethanol for one week. The ethanolic extract was filtered, dried and weighed. The total weight of the ethanolic extract was 9.5g. The ethanolic extract was re-dissolved in 400ml ethanol: distilled water mixture in 1:1 ratio and transferred to a separating funnel. The hydroalcoholic extract was successively shaken with petroleum ether 750ml, chloroform 500ml, ethyl acetate 250ml and butanol 250ml.
The five extracts were collected and dried to obtain five dried extracts: petroleum ether extract 3.02g, chloroform extract 1.00g, ethyl acetate extract 0.360g, butanol extract 0.96g and hydroalcoholic extract 2.53g.
Antimicrobial screening: The extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity using two microorganisms, grown on nutrient agar plates using disc diffusion technique. Four concentrations were prepared for each extract 1000µg/mL, 500µg/ml, 250µg/ml and 125µg/ml, using dimethylsulphoxide as a solvent and as a control.
Each of the previously prepared concentrations of different extracts of the ariel parts was tested for its antimicrobial activity against Gram +ve bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and against one Gram-ve bacteria Escherichia coli on nutrient agar plates using disc diffusion method 5.
RESULTS: The composition of the essential oil is presented in Table 1, where compounds are listed in increasing order of retention time (Tr).
DISCUSSION: Seventeen components were identified in the essential oil of L. nudicaulis by matching their spectra with reference spectra in the data base. The major constituents in the essential oil are Z-citral, E-citral., and limonene (Table 1).
In previous work which is published in J. Saudi Chemical. Soc. 4, only 12 constituents have been reported from essential oil of L. nudicaulis which are mostly long chain hydrocarbons of no medicinal value. In this study, a total of 17 constituents have been identified which are mostly of triterpenoid nature indicating the probability of having the biological activities. Further, biological investigations are to be done in the future.

It's obviously noticed that only polar extracts (hydro alcoholic extract, ethyl acetate extract and butanol extract) showed activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. On the other hand, non-polar extracts (petroleum ether extract and chloroform extract) did not show any activity against gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
For the three polar extracts, activity of each extract against E. coli (gram negative) and S. aureus (gram positive) was almost equivalent. The three extracts showed close activities against each of the tested organisms. These activities were shown to be comparable to the activities of standard antibiotic, augmentin against the tested organisms (Table 2).

One of the papers has been published in Pakistan Journal of Biological Sciences 1 on Launaea nudicaulis (Roxb.) where the polar extracts like ethanolic and methanolic extracts showed good antibacterial activity against Gram +ve and Gram-ve organisms. As compared to our recent finding about antimicrobial activity of Launaea nudicaulis, it is obvious that the Omani Launaea nudicaulis has better antimicrobial activity than the Pakistani species. The hydroalcoholic extract showed more inhibition as compared to any other extract of Launaea nudicaulis.
CONCLUSION: The present study reveals some useful information about the antibacterial activity of the polar extracts of Launaea nudicaulis against Gram +ve and Gram-ve bacteria. Seventeen compounds were identified in the essential oil of the plant and the major constituents are Z-citral, E-citral and limonene,

Performing true Humility! Part Two.
“For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Psalm 149:4
One of the most admirable characteristics a person can have is humility. Unfortunately, it is often underrated and misunderstood. Humility is not thinking less of yourself but rather thinking of yourself less. It is not about putting yourself down but rather lifting others. True humility is not thinking you are better than anyone else but recognizing that we are all equal in the eyes of God. It is not being boastful or prideful but being modest and unassuming.
As we can see from Philemon 1:1-25, Paul instructed Onesimus to return to his master and also informed Philemon through a letter that he wanted Onesimus to be treated as a brother, not a slave. He also asks Philemon to forgive Onesimus for any wrong he may have done. Truly, to bring a sacred bond in this relationship requires one to be humble. Philemon must willingly sacrifice his ego for godly relationships, while Onesimus is willing to be obedient to those in authority over him.
Philemon 1:16 says, “He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave; he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.”
As Apostle Paul encouraged both men (especially Philemon) to display true humility in their interactions with one another, likewise, I encourage you to show true humility in your marriage, family, employee, the boss at work, and friends. True humility is not about looking down on others or thinking that we are better than they are. Instead, it is about recognizing our sinfulness and shortcomings and recognizing that we are not worthy of God’s love and grace.
God desires to use humble people to accomplish great things. He has a special purpose for us and wants us to use our gifts and talents to further His Kingdom. When we walk in humility, we are willing to do whatever He asks us to do and receive His blessings. The gospel of Christ transforms human relationships, as we can see from Philemon the master and Onesimus, who happens to be his servant, seeing that they have been united with Christ and now they both belong to the family of God. Therefore, let us all strive to walk in true humility and allow God to use us to do great things. Psalm 25:9 says, “God leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.”
1. Holy Spirit, help me remain humble so I can maintain a godly relationship.
2. Every arrogant and self-centered spirit stealing my joy, I wash you out with the blood of Jesus.
3. As the stars and moon shine, may your life shine into a new dawn of blessings, glory, joy, honor, and victory in the name of Jesus.

Treatment of gram-positive deep sternal wound infections in cardiac surgery -experiences with daptomycin-
Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery volume 6, Article number: 112 (2011)
The reported incidence of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) after cardiac surgery is 0.4-5% with Staphylococcus aureus being the most common pathogen isolated from infected wound sternotomies and bacteraemic blood cultures. This infection is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality than other known aetiologies. Little is reported about the optimal antibiotic management. The aim of the study is to quantify the application of daptomycin treatment of DSWI due to gram-positive organisms post cardiac surgery.
We performed an observational analysis in 23 cases of post sternotomy DSWI with gram-positive organisms February 2009 and September 2010. When the wound appeared viable and the microbiological cultures were negative, the technique of chest closure was individualised to the patient.
The incidence of DSWI was 1.46%. The mean dose of daptomycin application was 4.4 ± 0.9 mg/kg/d and the average duration of the daptomycin application was 14.47 ± 7.33 days. In 89% of the patients VAC therapy was used. The duration from daptomycin application to sternal closure was 18 ± 13.9 days. The parameters of infection including, fibrinogen (p = 0.03), white blood cell count (p = 0.001) and C-reactive protein (p = 0.0001) were significantly reduced after daptomycin application. We had no mortality and wound healing was successfully achieved in all patients.
Treatment of DSWI due to gram-positive organisms with a daptomycin-containing antibiotic regimen is safe, effective and promotes immediate improvement of local wound conditions.
Based on these observations, daptomycin may offer a new treatment option for expediting surgical management of DSWI after cardiac surgery.
Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is a rare complication after median sternotomy. The reported incidence varies from 0.4%-5%, and Staphylococcus aureus (gram-positve organism) is the most common pathogen isolated from infected sternal wounds and even in blood cultures in these patients [1, 2]. This complication is often associated with significant morbidity, including prolonged hospitalization, additional surgical procedures together with expensive antibiotic therapy and mortality rates of up to 45% [2–4]. Mediastinitis is usually classified into five types based on the time of first presentation, the existence or absence of risk factors and the presence or absence of single or multiple failed therapeutic trials (El Oakley and Wright) . The management of mediastinitis involves many procedures and the choice of the surgical strategy is usually based on the El Oakley and Wright classification. A wide range of strategies have been proposed for the treatment of DSWI, including an intense course of directed antibiotic therapy together with a series of debridements and multiple dressing changes. Closed irrigation may be used, but eventually reconstruction with vascularised soft tissue or muscle flaps can be necessary .
Nonetheless, despite the use of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis, modern surgical techniques and careful wound treatment, DSWI will likely to remain a complication of median sternotomy. As we see an increase in the comorbidities identified as risk factors for DSWI namely diabetes and obesity, refining the therapeutic options to mediastinitis becomes even more important .
Appropriate medical treatment of Staphylococcus aureus induced of DSWI very often involves the systemic administration of vancomycin. However, the use of this agent has been associated with suboptimal outcomes and can increase the risk of renal failure and the risk developing a drug resistant organism. Because of these deleterious outcomes, there is a definite need to find alternate strategies for patients with mediastinitis post cardiac surgery [8, 9].
Daptomycin is a lipopeptide antibiotic approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at a dose of 4 mg/kg for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSIs) caused by susceptible isolates of certain gram-positive organisms. Daptomycin is bactericidal, and its mechanism of action is by depolarization of the cell membrane .
The difference between daptomycin and standard therapy in the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus methicillin susceptible (MSSA) infections was up until now not statistically significant, however daptomycin has already been proven to be effective in the treatment of bacteremia and endocarditis caused by MRSA and several case reports exists, documenting its effectiveness in the field of cardiac surgery [11–15]. However, data on the optimal antibiotic management or duration of therapy for DSWI is scarce.
The aim of the study is therefore to describe the application and efficacy of daptomycin in the treatment of DSWI due to gram-positve organisms after cardiac surgery.
Materials and methods
The following protocol was approved by the local ethics committee of the Medical Faculty, University of Göttingen, Germany. The study was designed as a prospective observational study with a cohort of patients with DSWI following cardiac surgery. After appropriate experience was acquired with the application of daptomycin as an antibiotic therapy in our division, we conducted this prospective study from February 2009 until September 2010. A total of 23 consecutive patients with post-sternotomy mediastinitis from gram-positive organisms (out of 1574 primary sternotomies) were identified, and treated with intravenous daptomycin. All patients had open-heart operations with midline sternotomy in our institution. Patients with sterile dehiscence or superficial sternal wound infections were excluded.
Various preoperative, intra- and postoperative variables were observed and documented consecutively. The patient characteristics included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), class of angina, presence of endocarditis, presence of atrial fibrillation, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, history of cerebrovascular accident, hypercholesterolemia, history of diabetes, obesity, renal dysfunction, hemodialysis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In addition, preoperative cardiac history and medications were recorded (Table 1).
Perioperative patient variables studied included the cardiac surgical procedure, additive Euroscore, operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic clamp time, intensive care unit stay, duration of ventilation, hospital stay, and mortality. Mortality was defined as death occurring within 30 days of the last surgery, regardless of whether the patient was an in-patient or was discharged from the hospital at the time of occurrence.
The postoperative details recorded the quantity of red blood cells suspension and fresh frozen plasma transfused (Table 2).
Infection was defined by means of clinical assessment, laboratory values, and microbiologic analysis. All patients showed DSWI with gram-positive organisms and were classified according to the criteria proposed by El Oakley and Wright.
Furthermore, mediastinal cultures, previous antibiotic therapy, and modalities regarding daptomycin application were studied. A suspicious wound was treated in our department with a standard microbiological protocol including amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin. If we observed a treatment failure and/or the microbiological results showed sensitivity or resistance to other antibiotics, we changed the antibiotic therapy according the microbiological results. The details are summarised in Table 3.
Blood tests included fibrinogen, hemoglobin, hematocrit, thrombocytes, white blood cell count (wbc), creatinine, total bilirubin, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), creatine phosphokinase (CK), creatine phosphokinase-MB (CK-MB), C - reactive protein (CRP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Blood tests were done prior to commencing treatment with daptomycin, then alternate days thereafter, upon discontinuing this therapy, when patients were discharged to rehabilitative care (Table 4).
Continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation, and categorical variables are presented as absolute numbers or percentage. Data were checked for normality before statistical analysis. Comparisons of continuous variables laboratorial data with deep sternal wound infections were made with Student's paired t-test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using commercially available software (SPSS for Windows, SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL, USA).
Patients' characteristics and perioperative details
Twenty-three patients (6 females and 17 males) were included in the study. Their characteristics are shown in Table 1.
Thirteen patients developed deep sternal wound infection following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG, including two patients with bilateral internal mammary artery), one patient following aortic valve replacement (AVR), six patients after CABG combined with AVR, one patient following mitral valve replacement (MVR), and two patients following ascending aortic replacement (AAR). The mean operation time was 273 ± 72 min (range, 180 to 240 minutes), the median CPB time at surgery was 134 ± 31 minutes (range, 70 to 245 minutes), and median aortic cross clamp time was 84 ± 28 minutes (range, 49 to 142 minutes). The median length of ICU stay was 8.51 ± 17.07 days (range, 1 to 80 days), median time of ventilation 73 ± 218 hours (range, 5 to 994 hours), and median hospital stay was 31.34 ± 33.07 days (range, 9 to 140 days). Furthermore, the administration of red blood cells was 1151.77 ± 747.70 ml (range, 0 to 9067 ml) and of fresh frozen plasma was 243.63 ± 82.21 ml (range, 0 to 2860 ml). A surveillance of 100% was achieved and wound healing was successfully established in all patients at the time of discharge. All details are summarized in table 2.
Management of Deep Sternal Wound Infection
All the patients were classified according to the criteria proposed by El Oakley and Wright: type I in three patients, type II in six, type IIIa in one, type IIIb in seven, in type IVa in two, and type V in the remaining four. The patients underwent initial surgical revision, at which time a choice of the most suitable procedure was made. This included surgical wound debridement together with continuous irrigation in some instances.
The decision regarding closure was further based on negative wound cultures and the absence of signs of local and systemic infection. Nineteen (83%) patients underwent vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy. Three (13%) of them with persistent local wound infection underwent an additional Omentumplasty prior to definitive chest closure. Four (17%) patients did not require further intervention after initial debridement and the chest was closed without additional surgical procedures. The median duration from infection to sternal closure was 22 ± 13.4 days (range, 8 to58 days) (Table 3).
The bacteriologic etiology was confirmed with wound culture and the median time interval between the initial cardiac operation with sternotomy and the diagnosis of deep sternal infection in this cohort was 34 ± 37 days (range, 5-155 days). Eleven isolates were Staphylococcus aureus methicillin susceptible, six were methilicin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and another six were methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. There 4 isolates as Enterococcus faecium were accompanying. Wound classification and mediastinal cultures of the group are given in Table 3.
Seventeen (74%) patients received a previous antibiotic regimen before administered daptomycin. Of these patients, five had 4-6 antibiotics, seven had 2-3 antibiotics, and five had single antibiotic before daptomycin application. Treatment failure was the reason for changing to daptomycin. The remaining six received daptomycin as a first antibiotic therapy.
The median final dose of daptomycin was 4.4 ± 0.9 mg/kg/d intravenously (range, 4 to 6 mg/kg/d), and the median duration of daptomycin administration was 14.47 ± 7.33 days (range, 9 to 43 days). Furthermore, the median duration from daptomycin application to definitive sternal closure was18 ± 13.9 days (range, 8 to 55 days). There were no adverse events related to the application of daptomycin. Details are summarized in table 3.
Compared with the laboratory data before daptomycin application, median fibrinogen, hemoglobin, hematocrit, wbc, and plasma CRP levels declined significantly until discharge (fibrinogen: 674 ± 109 mg/dl and 603 ± 125 mg/dl, respectively, p = 0.03; hemoglobin: 10.4 ± 1.6 g/dl and 9.4 ± 1.3 g/dl, respectively, p = 0.008; hematocrit: 32 ± 4.8% and 29 ± 3.1%, respectively, p = 0.005; wbc: 12 ± 4.2 × 103/μl and 9 ± 3.2 × 103/μl, respectively, p = 0.001; CRP: 118 ± 72 mg/l and 35 ± 32 mg/l, respectively, p = 0.0001).
The liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, and GGT) levels, thrombocytes, serum creatinine, serum total bilirubin, CPK, CK-MB, and LDH levels remained constant before the first daptomycin application and discharge and did not achieved statistically significance. All laboratory values are shown in table 4.
Over the past three decades, a wide range of strategies have been proposed for the treatment of DSWI. Current forms of treatment for DSWI usually involve a series of debridements, potentially surgical revision with multiple dressing changes, closed irrigation, or reconstruction with vascularized soft tissue or muscle flaps, and an intense course antibiotic treatment .
There is no consensus on the optimal management of poststernotomy mediastinitis, but long-term antibiotic treatment is universally accepted as being fundamental to the treatment process [16, 17]. Although antimicrobial treatment should be initiated promptly, there is no agreement either on the choice of the most suitable drug or on the preference for a combination therapy over monotherapy, and new antimicrobials are constantly being sought in this era of increasing drug resistance . However, data on the optimal antibiotic regimen of therapy for DSWI is scarce.
Our study reports a single institution's experience in the treatment gram-positive deep sternal wound infections following cardiac surgery. This was the first study to our knowledge that analyzed the application of the new antibiotic, daptomycin in the treatment of DSWI due to gram-positve organisms in cardiac surgery.
Our findings, suggest that treatment of daptomycin-susceptible DSWI with a daptomycin-containing antibiotic regimen is safe, effective in immediately promoting local wound conditions.
Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen isolated from sternal wound infections after cardiac surgery and it demonstrates an increasing resistance to wide range of antibiotics . Treatment for Staphylococcal aureus DSWI is challenging because of the need for prolonged antibiotic therapy and the risk of haematogenous complications. More importantly, with the incidence of increase of MRSA infection, the accompanying antibiotic therapy has received more attention.
The first in a novel class of cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics daptomycin (Cubicin; Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Lexington, MA), has already been proven to be effective in the treatment of bacteremia and endocarditis caused by MRSA and several case reports document about its effectiveness in the field of cardiac surgery [11–15]. Furthermore, treatment with daptomycin has also been effective in patients in whom osteomyelitis was diagnosed. Lamp et al. showed that daptomycin had a 94% success rate when used alone in patients with osteomyelitis resulting from infections with gram-positive pathogens including MRSA . Finney et al. reported their experience with daptomycin treatment in patients with osteomyelitis and had a 100% success rate . This observation was consistent with our results. In our cohort we had a 100% success rate with the use of daptomycin. Only a 50% success rate in patients with prosthetic joint infections was reported by Rao and Regalla .
It must however be taking in account that in these studies the dose of daptomycin ranges from 4 to 6 mg/kg per day and duration of application varied. In addition, it is very difficult to compare these observations with our results, because our cohort is very small and we have only the observation period up until discharge without long term follow up. Our mean duration of daptomycin-application was 14.47 ± 7.33 days and the mean dose of daptomycin was 4.4 ± 0.9 mg/kg/day. Lamp et al. stated in their study, that daptomycin may produce higher success rates with doses > 4 mg/kg with a long daptomycin therapy (median 35 days) . However, at the time of this study daptomycin 4 mg/kg every 24 hours for cSSSI was the only approved dose and spite of this recommendation we had a 100% success rate in our observations period.
The incidence of spontaneous resistance of daptomycin is until now very low, and there has been no evidence of conjugation-mediated resistance .
However, there have been isolated reports of reduced daptomycin susceptibility, but this was not seen in our study [10, 22]. We had no mortality and successful wound healing was achieved in all patients. Further, in our study there were no adverse advents. An antibiotic regimen containing daptomycin was generally very well tolerated, and no patient required antibiotic treatment to be discontinued because of daptomycin-related adverse events. This is better than in other studies, which observed adverse event in patients with surgical site infection only or any cSSSI rates of 13% and 18%, respectively [23, 24]. Muscle toxicity thought to be related to daptomycin is reported to occur in approximately 3% of patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI), however these observation was not seen in our study . The CPK levels were within in the normal range after commencing treatment with daptomycin.
It is therefore obvious, that daptomycin therapy in combination with the surgical procedures facilitates successful treatment of sternal infections in the majority of the patients. This suggestion is reiterated by the significant decline in the levels of inflammatory markers (fibrinogen, WBC, and CRP) during this combined modality of treatment. Data also suggest that the use of VAC therapy actually shortens the duration of wound healing . The majority (83%) of our patients had accompanying VAC therapy and which may have influenced our high success rate.
In conclusion, our study indicates that the treatment of DSWI of susceptible gram-positive organisms with a daptomycin-containing antibiotic regimen is feasible. The results of this study suggest that daptomycin is efficacious in the treatment of patients with DSWI after cardiac surgery.
However, our study has some limitations. This is an observational analysis with a small sample size; therefore, any conclusions maybe limited in their implications. Further, because of the observational nature of the study, we cannot rule out the presence of other possible confounding variables that might have affected our results. Another limitation is that the results come from a single institution and might not be generalized to other cardiac surgical units. Our study did not evaluate patients preoperatively to identify those who were nasal or planned surgical site carriers of staphylococcal aureus, so as to pre-empt or eradicate these potential pathogens. Moreover, 74% of the patients were pre-treated with other antibiotics. In our point of view it's very difficult starting daptomycin since diagnosis of DSWI, because at this moment we do not have any microbiological results and daptomycin is not a first line antibiotic. A suspicious wound will be treated in our department with a standard microbiological protocol. If we observe a treatment failure and/or the microbiological results shows sensitivity or resistance to other antibiotics, we change the antibiotic therapy according the microbiological results. Furthermore, some of the patients may develop a DSWI after discharge from the hospital and the majority of them are at the postoperative rehabilitation. If a patient develops a DSWI at the rehabilitation, we have no influence on the choice of the antibiotics, because they have their own microbiological protocol. This means, the patient is pre-treated before referral to our department.
Otherwise, this is, to our knowledge, the first study with detailed information on antibiotic treatment with daptomycin for DSWI. However, it is worthy to note that the total number of DSWI were 23 out of 1574 median sternotomies, for the interval from February 2009 up until September 2010. The incidence of sternal infections of 1.46% is at the lower range of reported values in the literature . Data indicate that for heart centers with good surgical practice it is unrealistic to prospectively and monocentrically evaluate the benefit of a specific antibiotic drug compared to standard antibiotic drug protocols. Our approach has demonstrated satisfactory results with regard to the duration and successful management of complex DSWI due to gram-positive organisms. Furthermore, our single centre results suggest that further investigation, for instance in a multicenter trial, is needed to determine the specific role of daptomycin in the treatment DSWI.

Imagine if the cafeteria at your local hospital was considered one of the best, most affordable, restaurants in the neighborhood. Not only is the atmosphere warm and inviting, but the food is fantastic: creative salad options with legumes, tofu, seeds and nuts; spicy stir fry dishes, healing soups and stews, and options suitable to all dietary restrictions. The hospital’s main food buyer sources as much of the ingredients from local producers as possible, working with a local food hub to provide a steady stream of just-harvested flavor in the warm months, and flash-frozen options in the off-season. The hospital especially works to support small farmers and food businesses run by people of color in the communities they serve, knowing that economic vitality is a social determinant of community health. Most of the menu is veggie-forward, but when the cafeteria chefs use meat, they work with Animal Welfare Approved chicken and turkey, raised by a cooperative of producers in the region.
Imagine this, too: the cafeteria’s staff scratch-cook most of the meals in their state-of-the-art kitchen facility, and staff are compensated with a living wage and benefits for their high level of culinary skill and attention to food safety. Staff are frequently celebrated for their contributions and are considered peers of the nurses, doctors, and dieticians serving patients at the hospital. After all, the food served to patients and their families is a critical part of patient care.
Sounds too good to be true, right? Given the prioritization of low-cost ingredients, out-sourcing of foodservice management, and discounting of food’s contribution to public health, few hospitals or other institutional meal providers look like this today–but some are starting to make the shift. A growing number of hospitals and higher education institutions, in addition to public meal programs served in places like schools, parks, and jails, are beginning to see the value in investing in their food service to benefit community health and wealth.
It’s not just individual champions making these shifts happen. While it’s wonderful to have motivated leaders choosing to make a transition to healthy food and supporting local farms, often their vision doesn’t carry on if they leave their positions. Across the country, community-based anchor institutions are going further, passing organizational policies to ensure that good food purchasing practices are actually codified as standard protocol. So, even if rockstar personnel move on from their positions, the policy will remain in place to guide future practice.
In 2017, Chicago City Council, Chicago Park District, and Chicago Public Schools all adopted the Good Food Purchasing Policy, leveraging more than $300 million in government food spend to advance a more transparent, equitable, and healthy food system. The Good Food Purchasing Program (GFPP) directs City of Chicago departments and sister agencies to assess current purchasing, set goals, and take progressive action over time in five value categories: nutrition, local food economies, fair treatment of workers, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare. Some of the public meal programs covered by the policy include senior home-delivered and congregate meals, summer meals for children, school breakfast and lunch, the cafeterias at City Colleges of Chicago, city-run food festivals, and O’Hare and Midway Airport concessions. While minimally purchasing food of their own, Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) plays a critical role as the main coordinator of all GFPP implementation activities within the city.
In 2018, Cook County Government joined the City of Chicago in adopting GFPP for their public hospital system, jails, juvenile justice facility, and vending environments–an estimated $15 million in purchasing. As with Chicago’s management, the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) is taking the lead in coordinating GFPP implementation. Chicago and Cook County are the first city and county outside of California to take the bold move of comprehensively adopting GFPP for all departments and sister agencies that procure food. Together, CDPH, CCDPH and their partners at the Chicago Food Policy Action Council (CFPAC) are partnering to successfully implement GFPP across both governments as part of their shared Good Food Purchasing Initiative (GFPI).
GFPI has three main objectives:
- Fully implement GFPP with public departments & agencies across the city and county
- Foster a more racially and socially equitable regional food supply chain to meet the demand for good food
- Normalize values-based procurement in community-based institutions across the region, inviting area hospitals, cultural institutions, and higher education facilities to join the City of Chicago and Cook County in both adopting GFPP and advancing GFPI goals.
To fully implement GFPP with City of Chicago and Cook County departments and agencies, the local GFPI team is working with the national Center for Good Food Purchasing, which provides public departments and agencies across the country with annual food purchasing data assessments using their Good Food Purchasing Standards. Both CDPH and CCDPH are also convening quarterly Good Food Task Force meetings within their jurisdictions to address barriers and opportunities to GFPP implementation with key city and county stakeholders, and meeting one-on-one with each department and agency to collect food purchasing data and create GFPP action plans. In addition, CDPH, CCDPH, and CFPAC are monitoring when food-related contracts expire, and providing technical support to departments and agencies to include language about GFPP compliance in all future solicitations for food delivery or food service management.
By assessing food spend, developing action plans, and monitoring progress, GFPP implementation is designed to increase demand for good food by institutional meal programs. As demand increases, however, the GFPI team acknowledges the necessity for market research, local producer education, and supply chain infrastructure development to ensure that small producers, especially those who identify as black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), have access to this emerging market opportunity.
With the support of a USDA Local Food Promotion Program Grant and an Illinois Specialty Crop Block Grant, the GFPI team will be hosting three GFPP-focused trainings in the next year in partnership with the Illinois Stewardship Alliance and Urban Growers Collective. The team will also be developing a GFPP resource guide for producers and holding a series of “Buyer/Supplier Mixers” to provide in-person space for relationship-building across the supply chain. In addition, GFPI is working with researchers in the Midwest Consortium on Equity & Research in Food (MCERF) to conduct a food hub feasibility study to serve BIPOC producers in Metro Chicago, which will be completed by December 2020.
GFPI is still in its beginning stage, but already coordinators are excited to see the potential power that institutional food procurement can have on the food system. Since the Good Food Purchasing Policy’s passage, Chicago Public Schools has started sourcing antibiotic-free chicken drumsticks from Indiana, switched to compostable trays and cutlery, increased their local sourcing of produce, and moved to a Meatless Monday menu. Chicago Park District, which had their first GFPP assessment more recently, is in the process of action planning for their summer meal program to reduce food waste, increase locally sourced products, and promote their vegetarian meal options. While GFPI’s main focus is on public departments & agencies, there has been growing interest from local private anchor institutions in joining the initiative as well. During the 2019-2020 school year, for example, Northwestern University piloted GFPP for their campus dining halls with involvement from the Northwestern University Real Food (NURF) student group. GFPI is working to create a cross-sectoral network of institutions so that there can be increased collaboration, peer-to-peer learning, and aligned goal-setting across the Chicago Metro.
Looking ahead, CDPH, CCDPH, and CFPAC hope to help create a more inclusive, transparent, and accountable institutional procurement system, with more opportunities for small farmers and food businesses. In improving institutional meals, the GFPI team aspires to make good food a right, not just a privilege. We can’t achieve this ambitious vision alone: whether you’re a researcher, farmer, institutional leader, or community member, we need your help!

MCAT Study Strategies that Improved My Score 10 Points4 min read
When I first took the MCAT I scored a 508, not awful, but not amazing. I knew that if I wanted to get accepted to the medical school of my dreams I needed a better score.
I changed my study strategy drastically, these changes took my score from a 508 to a 518. Here are the top 10 study tips that improved my score.
1. Develop Your Plan Before Starting
Every day of your MCAT study schedule should be planned. You may not necessarily get to everything you planned for that day, but every day should be planned.
When you don’t plan your days you may:
- Not stay consistent
- Not take breaks (equals burnout)
- Feel Stressed about what you should be studying
Make an excel sheet, with every day listed until your test day.
Questions to ask yourself:
- How many days will I be studying?
- What resources will I be using? (My write-up here)
- What will me every day look like?
- Between what times will I be studying? (8-4 is a good idea)
- What environment will I be studying in?
- Will I be distracted?
- Do I need to go somewhere else to study?
- Do I have any mandatory things between now and the end of my study time? (schedule those in)
- Have I integrated breaks, exercise, and when I will be eating?
2. Give Yourself More Time Than You Need
The MCAT is an extremely important test. It is the most important test for getting into medical school.
Do NOT rush into it.
If you don’t feel prepared, take extra time, even if that means delaying until the next application cycle. Apply when you are the best applicant you can possibly be.
Every MCAT score is recorded and admissions boards see the past exams.
3. Set a Goal
Have you checked out the MSAR? Do you know the average MCAT/GPA of people that get accepted into the school you want to go to?
I would check it out. See your dream school. See the school.
Set your goal as an average of above-average student that is accepted to that medical school. This helps in two ways:
- You know where your goal is, you know where to strive for.
- It attaches your dream to the score. Now you know that getting a good school improves your chances of getting into the dream school. It makes studying more emotional and more driven.
4. Tell Your Friends
Tell your friends for a couple reasons:
- They know you won’t be able to go out as much (I went out on two study nights out of 90)
- Good Friends will support you and the intense journey you are about to go on
- Good Friends are an outlet for you when you need (not want) a break
5. Focus On Your Weaknesses
Are you bad at chemistry? Put in extra time on chemistry. Some high yield tips I learned:
- For P/S memorize the terms; just by doing flashcards for P/S terms, my score jumped 2 points.
- Memorize the amino acids, know their structure, three-letter name, one letter name, charge, full name. I got at least 4 questions that I breezed through because I had them memorized.
- CARS is tricky. Don’t get disheartened with your score, it will fluctuate, that’s ok. Keep crushing sections.
6. Practice Testing > Content
It’s been repeated over and over again for good reason.
Practice testing will improve your score more than reviewing content.
Integrate practice testing, full-length tests, in as soon and frequently as you can. Aim for 8 practice exams, at least, before you take your final exam.
7. Turn Wrong Questions Into Flashcards
Every time you get a question wrong studying, that is an opportunity for an improvement in your score.
However, you need to write the information that you don’t understand in some way otherwise you will forget it.
One good way is converting it to an Anki flashcard.
Anki will test you at the perfect time before you fall off of the forgetting curve.
8. Mimic Test Day as Much as Possible
Mimic your test day as close as possible when you are taking your tests. I even replicated it when I was studying.
- No phone
- No human interaction during study time that isn’t during breaks (that’s cheating!)
- Time your breaks and lunch breaks the same way the exam times them (90->10->90->30->90->10->90)
- Wear the same clothes you will wear on test day (if you are taking this mid-COVID-19, this includes wearing a mask)
- Pretend this practice exam is the real exam that will be scored
9. AAMC Materials are the Most Valuable
The AAMC study materials are written by the same people that write the MCAT. The connection should be obvious here.
These are your golden materials. Treat them as such (wait until you are near the end to do them and take a lot of time to review the questions)
10. Schedule Breaks
Don’t let this test take over your life.
Maintain consistent and focused study habits and consistent and scheduled breaks.
If you don’t you will burn out or not absorb the content as well.
Exercise, go outside, relax with your family and friends. Take the day off before your exam.
Keep consistent and you will crush this exam.

Jaw surgery is carried out to reposition one or both jaws to correct facial and jaw irregularities. It will leave the teeth in a better position and make it easier to chew, speak and breathe. There are many candidates for this procedure, such as those who have difficulty chewing, speaking, making their lips meet or have jaw pain, an open bite, facial injury, receding or protruding jaw or sleep apnea.
Your orthodontist is responsible for moving the teeth, the surgeon will reposition the jaws and your dentist is responsible for care before and after surgery. Some people wish to have additional procedures done to continually improve their appearances, like the nose or eye surgery. These options can be discussed with your surgeon.
For 6-18 months, you may need to wear braces and consult your orthodontist regularity. During lower jaw surgery, the rear portion of the jaw is moved forward or backward depending on the desired result. In upper jaw surgery, the bone can be moved forward, backward, raised or lowered. The bone may also be added or removed to achieve proper alignment and stability. If desired, other facial bones can be augmented or reduced to improve balance. Most incisions are made inside the mouth and therefore leave no external scars.

HIV and other STD’s target gay and bisexual men more than any other section of the society due to unprotected means of anal sex. It has been found in multiple studies that men aged 18-24 are scarcely aware of their infections. Straight women still get an excuse to use condoms which are pretty effective against HIV as a chance to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But what of gay/bisexual men?
“I remember looking at him for the first time and to this day, I have not found a reason to look for anything more attractive and soothing at the same time. I think it was of is his broad symmetrical shoulders, his masculine body curves and that subtle little smile with just a hint of femininity. I had waited and he looked back at me with a calm and unguarded expression. It was that day and this one, when i stand naked in front of him. So much have I, fallen in love with him and there is no looking back. I have already stripped up my entire soul and self in front of him but this would be my first. He has often remained unobtrusive and hushed up; he does not prefer to talk about his personal life. He had started to touch me and had discarded the pack of condoms I carefully placed to make sure it comes in his sight. I don’t know how many men has he been ‘into’. I don’t know how many of them have made their way into him, I do not know how many tongues have rolled over. I don’t know how many contagions he’s carrying on himself. He has ruled me with love and hence I shall follow his will.”
“What about your health?”
“Do I care enough?.” Replied the young freckled man to his doctor.

Nov 17, 2015 (LBO) – Sri Lanka’s ban on fishery exports to the EU could be lifted if further necessary steps are taken, the European Union Council said.
Releasing council conclusions in a statement the Council commended the steps Sri Lanka has taken to comply with the regulations of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission.
“The council encourages the Sri Lankan authorities to take further measures necessary to address the shortcomings established in the context of the EU legislation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.” the statement said.
Sri Lanka received a “yellow card” or a strict warning in November 2012 before the ban was imposed, as the country was not complying with international rules on illegal fishing.
The Council banned fish imports from Sri Lanka last year due to EU concerns that illegal fishing is environmentally harmful and unsustainable.
Sri Lanka’s sea foods exports to EU Zone accounted for nearly 68 percent of its total sea foods exports.
Sea food exports declined from 21 million dollars in February 2014 to 11.2 million dollars in February 2015 recording a plunge of 46 percent whilst fisheries exports plummeted from 42.7 million dollars to 27.7 million dollars posting a reduction of 35 percent, according to a report.

ABSTRACT: This research evaluates patient satisfaction with the core and secondary attributes of hospital healthcare service, using two conventional methods, stated and derived importance explaining pros and cons related to each method. The study shows the significance of some of the core attributes and secondary attributes are recoverable equally well, regardless of the method. On the other hand, satisfaction obtained through some attributes diverges depending on the evaluation method. This variation is systematic and the reason for the variation is explained which provides the basis to researchers to employ both stated and derived methods for assessing the genuine measurement of satisfaction. Further article identifies the influence of demographics on satisfaction derived through core and secondary attributes and the relation between demographics and the type of hospital visited (i.e. govt. or private). Again the gap analysis and the correlation between satisfaction and recommendation provides better picture of opportunities or gaps live in hospital healthcare services and the directions to combat these gaps or exploit opportunities respectively.
Attributes, Demographics, Correlation
INTRODUCTION:Hospital industry is an important component of the value chain in Healthcare industry rendering services and recognized as healthcare delivery segment of the healthcare industry. In various countries, the provision of hospital care is turning into an industry with the rising presence of huge corporate hospital chains. While the demand for hospital care has augmented, public, charitable and private hospital care providers failed to deliver not only in terms of quantity (or volume i.e. number of beds) but also in term of quality of care.
With such an untapped market and a favorable environment, corporations see a tremendous growth potential in hospital care 1. Again, in recent years, quality assurance has emerged as an internationally important aspect in the provision of health care services. Consumer satisfaction is recognized as an important parameter for assessing the quality of patient care services. Therefore there is a need to analyze the health care system as often as possible.
Each organization in every industry these days is concerned with satisfying the users of its products or services, they are identified as clients, customers, consumers or patients. Satisfaction is a psychological concept which is easy to understand but hard to define. The concept of satisfaction overlaps with similar themes such as happiness, contentment, and quality of life. The definition of customer satisfaction has been widely debated as organizations increasingly attempt to measure it. It is a highly personal assessment that is greatly affected by customer expectations. Satisfaction also is based on the customer’s experience of both contact with the organization (the “moment of truth” as it is called in business literature) and personal outcomes. Some researchers define a satisfied customer within the private sector as “one who receives significant added value” to his/her bottom line- a definition that may apply just as well to public services 1.
Customer satisfaction differs depending on the situation and the product or service. A customer may be satisfied with a product or service, an experience, a purchase decision, a salesperson, store, service provider, or an attribute or any of these.1 Satisfaction is not some pre-existing phenomenon waiting to be measured, but a judgment people form over a time as they reflect on their experience. A simple and practical definition of satisfaction would be the degree to which desired goals have been achieved 3.
Customer satisfaction is a collective measure of entirety purchase and consumption experience 1 (Anderson et al., 1994, pp.54). It is a composite and multidimensional phenomenon consisting of many different inter-reliant parts. For example, a hospital healthcare service is a composite of elements such as technical quality of care, attitudes of healthcare professional, finances, physical facilities etc.2 (Mary Draper et al., 1995), including both core and secondary attributes. The core and secondary attributes can be discussed in terms of process/outcome satisfaction.
Factors influencing “decision process satisfaction” might be different from factors influencing “outcome or consumption satisfaction”. Typically, past research focused on satisfaction with the final outcome (i.e., the satisfaction obtained after receiving the services).
However, consumers may also form satisfaction judgments during the decision making process 2 (Zhang and Fitzsimons, 1999), which encompasses not only the decision making process, but also the purchase experience 7 (Engel and Blackwell, 1982; Fitzsimons et al., 1997). In keeping with the conceptualization above, the core attributes will be important for both “decision making process satisfaction” and “outcome satisfaction”, but secondary attributes are relevant specifically in relation to “decision making process satisfaction”.
Stated importance reflects the attributes that are critical when patients make their hospital choice. On the contrary, derived importance represents the effectiveness of attributes in driving overall satisfaction.
Customers can identify the differences between direct and indirect importance dimensions of product /service attributes; and, core attributes have both high direct and indirect importance. In order to verify this proposition, two sets of satisfaction attributes are considered:
1) Core attributes relating to satisfaction with various activities; and
2) Secondary attributes relating to satisfaction with various other decision drivers.
In hospital healthcare service, core attributes comprises technical quality of care, art of care, finances, while secondary attributes includes physical environment, patient convenience and accessibility. Although satisfaction with core attributes is generally considered as the main determinant of overall satisfaction, secondary attributes, too, influence patients' overall satisfaction, as well as the choice of product/service 4. (Rong huang et al., 2008)
This paper aims at assessment of patient satisfaction with respect to hospital healthcare service located in tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula. We have assessed overall satisfaction [Calculated Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI) by using both stated and derived importance methods]; satisfaction with core and secondary attributes; and the drivers of overall satisfaction, by using conventional stated and derived importance methods [Systematically assessed core and secondary set of attributes for obtaining PSI].
We further studied whether the selection of a type of a hospital (i.e. private or govt.) is affected by demographics of patients (i.e. age, gender, income, insurance level etc.) and also observed the impact of demographic profile on patient satisfaction.
Stated Importance versus Derived Importance Methods: Stated importance is defined as the clear-cut customer preferences for the influence of a satisfaction criterion, while derived importance is estimated by a regression-type quantitative technique using patient judgments for the performance of this set of criteria 2. It is not irrational to say that patients tend to rate every criterion as important, when asked freely 3. Because of the tendency of patients to rate almost everything as important, the researchers are often wary of self-explicated importance data and derived importance data are considered generally more trustworthy.
Nevertheless, the comparison between derived and stated importance can give valuable information. Consider the following example: If customers of an airline are offered with a list of attributes and are asked how important the attributes ‘safety’ and ‘timely reach’ are, they may rate them as extremely important. Compared with these attributes, which obviously are basic factors (‘quality of food’ or ‘attentiveness of flight attendants’) are certainly less important. If ‘safety’ and ‘timely reach’ are delivered at a satisfactory level, their impact on satisfaction found to be low. If flight attendants are perceived as very attentive and food quality is good, these attributes will strongly affect customer satisfaction.
Hence, their relative importance is high. Thus, it suggests that customers’ stated importance does not adequately measure the relative importance (derived importance) of attributes. Derived importance refers to the statistical association between attribute ratings (predictors) and overall rating (criterion). The derived importance of an attribute is statistically determined from this relationship using various techniques including:
1) Pearson correlation;
2) Standard regression coefficient or beta weight;
3) The product of the beta weight and the corresponding Pearson calculation; and,
4) The coefficient of part determination 2.
Therefore implicitly derived importance may differ from the customers’ self-stated importance.
FIGURE 1 EXPLANATION OF THE BASICS OF THE MODEL BEING USED
Methods: Requisite information has been gained through a questionnaire consisting of four sections. The first and second sections consist of general information and demographics relating to patients respectively. In the third section, respondents rate the importance of 16 core attributes presented in 3 categories: Technical Quality of Care, Art of Care and Finances. Under each category, specific activities are listed and respondents rate their relative importance from 1 (not at all important) to 5 (very important).
In addition, respondents rate the importance of other decision drivers (secondary attributes), including 17 items relating to Accessibility, Patient Convenience and Physical Environment. The forth section concerns respondents' overall satisfaction, as well as their satisfaction with each of the 16 prime traits (core attributes) and 17 decision drivers. The survey has been administered on patients who already experienced healthcare service provided by hospital industry in tricity of Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula and out of which 400 then were included.
RESULTS: Table 1 provides the basic idea of sample composition and demographic profile of patients that helps to understand patient-sample distribution among different categories. When the patients were asked to mention their source of information regarding the selection of particular hospital for availing health care services, Word of mouth (Friends, family & relatives) (58.6%) comes out to be a major source of information followed by Doctor Referral (33.3%).
TABLE 1: DEMOGRAPHICS AND SAMPLE COMPOSITION
|Demographics||Categories||Numbers||Percentage||Overall Satisfaction Mean|
|Type of Hospital Visited||Private||208||52.5||3.71|
|More than 75||28||7.07||3.43|
|Monthly Income level||Less than 5000||120||30.3||3.67|
|More than 30000||76||19.2||3.67|
|Insurance Coverage||Full coverage||100||25.2||3.52|
TABLE 2: IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHICS ON TYPE OF HOSPITAL VISITED
|Chi-Square Test Significance|
|Gender * Type of hospital visited||0.045*|
|Age * Type of hospital visited||0.000**|
|Monthly Income level * Type of hospital visited||0.000**|
|Insurance Coverage * Type of hospital visited||0.198|
*Shows significant values of probability
Table 2 depicts via chi-square test the impact of demographics on type of hospital visited. The type of hospital visited is dependent on demographics like gender, age and income level, but not on insurance coverage status. The results shows here that males tend to go to private hospitals more compared to females. The age group of 15-34 years is being inclined to private hospitals more compared to others. As the income level increases, patients are more aligning themselves towards private hospitals.
Primarily, Efforts were concentrated to explore the measurement of Patient Satisfaction with respect to Hospital Service Industry based on six major dimensions. A Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI) is executed on the satisfaction ratings with respect to prime traits of hospital service and decision drivers, respectively, by both stated and derived importance approaches. Stated importance is estimated by a procedure by Bhote (1998) and derived importance and overall CSI by Anton's (1996) method.
PSI with respect to Prime Traits of Hospitals (Core Attributes): In order to determine dimensions underlying patients' satisfaction, a factor analysis was performed on satisfaction ratings of the 16 prime attributes prior to both stated and derived importance approaches. The resultant dimensions were used in succeeding analyses.
A factor analysis using the principal component method with Varimax rotation has been implemented.
Table 3 displays factor loadings, eigenvalues, and the explained variance. In addition, alpha coefficients for items in each factor are provided.
The factor analysis reveals three factors representing 80.94% of the total variance. The first factor – Technical Quality of Care – includes a variety of attributes related to technical skills of healthcare professionals. The second factor summarizes attitudes, care, concern, consideration, friendliness, patience and sincerity related attributes of healthcare professionals and is labeled as Art of care.

FIGURE 2: IMPACT OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON CORE ATTRIBUTES
The impact of various parameters on prime traits (including all three) has been analyzed (Figure 2). Type of Hospital Visited affected the satisfaction achieved through art of care and finances. Here t-test showed there exists a significant difference in overall satisfaction achieved through Art of Care and Finances (significance = .000) with respect to type of hospital visited.
Again the bar diagrams reveals that higher satisfaction through art of care and lower through finances is achieved in patients visiting private hospitals. Again for gender, independent samples test showed that there is no impact of gender on core attributes [no significant difference in overall satisfaction achieved through technical quality of care (significance =.078), art of care (significance =.374) and finances (significance = .795) with respect to gender]. For Income Level,ANOVA shows that there exists a significant difference in satisfaction achieved through Art of Care and Finances with respect to income level.
Here from post-hoc and bar diagrams, it is clear that the satisfaction achieved through art of care is different between lower income group (monthly income less than 5000) and higher income group (monthly income greater than 30000).
For finances, the fourth income group (monthly income 20000-30000) having significant higher satisfaction compared to second group (5000-10000) and fifth group (>30000). Finally, Insurance affected all Core Factors.Anova showed that for all core factors there exists a significant difference in satisfaction. Post–hoc and bar diagram revealed that the Group II (semi covered) is having higher satisfaction compared to others.
Derived Importance of Core Attributes Related to Patient Satisfaction: Derived importance results from regression analysis with overall patient satisfaction as criterion and the three prime traits as predictors. First two factors (Technical quality of Care and Art of Care) are found statistically significant in explaining the overall satisfaction with core attributes (Table 4).
In order of importance, Technical quality of Care (beta = 0.613) is followed by Art of Care (beta = 0.2) and in presence of these two, finances become insignificant (unimportant) but is retained in subsequent analysis for the sake of comparison with findings from the stated importance approach. The overall PSI from derived importance is 54.19, which is not revealing at face value. It is appropriate to benchmark this figure against CSI measured over time. Technical quality of Care (77.98) and Art of Care (21.00) dimensions contribute most to the overall PSI.
Stated Importance of Core Attributes Related to Patient Satisfaction: Table 5 represents the findings of PSI obtained from the stated importance approach. Among the three factors, Technical Quality of Care has the highest average importance rating (4.6), followed by Art of Care (4.23). The least important dimension is Finances (3.98). There is not much difference in satisfaction ratings of all three prime traits. The overall PSI is 73.15. Here, all three (Technical Quality of Care, Art of Care and Finances) are the equally important dimension in driving overall PSI. The mean importance ratings for the three dimensions are higher than their respective satisfaction mean ratings.
Comparison of Stated versus Derived Importance of Core Attributes:
1) The overall satisfaction obtained from the stated versus derived approaches are analogous. Nevertheless, the stated approach emerges to give a more favorable view of satisfaction (since PSI resulting from stated importance is higher than PSI from the derived mportance). In any case, the overall PSI scores should not be interpreted at face value as they are only meaningful when compared against a benchmark.
2) Both approaches consistently identify the top most important dimension explaining the overall PSI, namely, Technical Quality of Care. Hence, parallel validity linking the two approaches seems to exist, which is a promise for managers who strive to establish the most important dimensions underlying overall satisfaction. But again, stated importance depicts that all three prime traits are more or less equally important (stated satisfaction 17.32, 14.92, 14.52 respectively) while derived importance discovered that Technical Quality of Care is most factor in generating satisfaction followed by Art of Care and Finances found to be unimportant (derived importance 42.26, 11.38, 0.55).
Thus interestingly, Cost, which is found insignificant in the derived approach, turns out to be among the important dimensions in the stated approach. Hence consumers when asked to attach importance, they portray all the dimensions as important, but satisfaction is most derived by Technical Quality of Care.
3) Activities ascribing higher importance ratings are not receiving higher satisfaction ratings. This finding is conceivable due to the fact that there are so many opportunities or gap still exist to be met in hospital industry.
The mean satisfaction rating of each dimension is less than its mean importance rating, suggesting that the decision drivers may be short of meeting patient expectations.

PSI of Decision Drivers (Secondary Attributes): Further, similar but independent analysis was performed on various decision drivers to obtain their stated and derived importance ratings.
This analysis provides a healthier understanding of overall satisfaction, a multifaceted construct that may rely not only on satisfaction with prime traits (core attributes) but also on decision drivers (secondary attributes).
Furthermore, it allows us to explore generalizability of our findings from the previous analysis of prime traits. A principal component with Varimax rotation analysis produces a three-factor solution explaining 69.85% total variance. Table 6 displays factor loadings, eigenvalues, the explained variance and alpha coefficient for each factor. The emergent factors are clear-cut. The first one, Physical Environment, includes pleasantness, physical comfort, ambience related to hospital service and the presence of associated facility (Pathlab, Pharmacy, Food, Banking etc.). Factor two, labeled Patient Convenience, includes convenience of location and timings. Factor three – Accessibility– includes brand name, hospital size and level of accreditation.

The impact of various parameters on secondary attributes (including all three) has been analyzed (Figure 3). Type of Hospital Visited affected Secondary Factors. T-test showed that there exist a difference in satisfaction derived from Physical Environment (significance = .000) and Patient Convenience (significance =.025), but not from Accessibility (significance =.180) with respect to type of hospital visited.
Again, Bar diagram revealed that higher satisfaction achieved in case of private hospitals. For Gender, Independent sample t-test showed that there is no significant difference in satisfaction derived from physical environment (significance = .837), patient convenience (significance =.879) and accessibility (significance =.927) with respect to gender.
With Income Level Anova revealed that there exists a significant difference in satisfaction derived through Physical Environment and Accessibility with respect to income level. Further post-hoc and bar diagram showed that patients of group I (monthly income less than 5000) are having significantly low satisfaction compared to others for physical environment and group having monthly income less than 20000 (group I, II, III) separates out (being low satisfied) from the higher income groups (IV , V) for satisfaction derived through accessibility factors.
And finally with Insurance Coverage, Anova showed that there is no significant difference in satisfaction derived from physical environment (significance =.152), patient convenience (significance =.395) and accessibility (significance =.060) with respect to insurance coverage.
FIGURE 3: IMPACT OF VARIOUS PARAMETERS ON CORE ATTRIBUTES
Derived Importance of Decision Drivers: All three decision driver dimensions are significant in explaining overall satisfaction (Table 7). Patient Convenience explains the most variance (Beta=0.299), followed by Physical Environment (Beta=0.242). The least powerful dimension is Accessibility (Beta=0.209). The overall PSI is 28.18.
Stated Importance of Decision Drivers: Among the three dimensions Patient Convenience has the highest average importance rating of 4.12, followed by Physical Environment with 3.8, and finally, Accessibility with 3.67. Interestingly, Accessibility, which is found less contributing in the derived approach, turns out to be among the important dimensions in the stated approach which signifies that patients portray that branding, hospital size and level of accreditation are among important factors to satisfy from particular hospital healthcare service but indeed they derive very less of satisfaction from them. The overall PSI from stated importance approach is 63.83 (Table 8).
Comparison of Stated Versus Derived Importance of Decision Drivers:
- The stated importance approach presents a more favorable view of satisfaction since the PSI from stated (63.83) is higher than that of derived importance (28.18). This finding is consistent with that of the prime traits above, as well as Chu's (2002) 3.
- Differences exist between the importance ratings and satisfaction ratings of Physical Environment and patient convenience dimensions. Most strikingly, Accessibility, which is not much contributing in explaining the overall satisfaction in the regression model, is ranked as the second important contributor to the overall PSI in the stated importance approach. This discrepancy may be due to a systematic bias in the stated approach: When directly asked, respondents tend to mark all the attributes as important, making it difficult to identify what really is important. Overstated importance ratings exaggerate the PSI.
The mean satisfaction rating of each dimension is less than its mean importance rating, suggesting that the decision drivers may be short of meeting patient expectations.

Further, T-test showed that there exist a significant difference between expectation & satisfaction for all dimensions (significance = .000 for all 5 dimensions) except accessibility factors (significance = .741) (Figure 4). There exist a high correlation (.740) between overall satisfaction and recommendation for a particular hospital.
FIGURE 4: GAP ANALYSIS
I= Importance and S= Satisfaction
DISCUSSION AND IMPLICATIONS: This research uncovers the major six dimensions of patient satisfaction including core (Technical Quality of Care, Art of Care, Finances) and secondary (Physical Environment, Patient Convenience, Accessibility) attributes. Again study finds that the overall patient satisfaction level evaluated by derived versus stated importance techniques is analogous, but not the same. Again, it demonstrates that importance scores for core and secondary attributes diverge with derived versus stated methods. Given discrepant satisfaction scores and attribute importance, this study provides supplementary insight for picking up a suitable method.
The two approaches appear to be quantifying different fundamental constructs; and so, the variations innately lie in the approaches. Stated importance characterizes what attributes are important when patients are making their hospital healthcare service choice, or what traits patients are seeking in the hospital healthcare service. In contrast, derived importance signifies the effectiveness of attributes in driving overall satisfaction. Core attributes, illustrated by high explicit and implicit importance 3 (Vavra, 1997), are recovered equally well by the stated or derived methods. Importance of secondary attributes, on the other hand, varies depending on the evaluation method. Hence, derived methods are more effective in recovering importance of secondary attributes.
In general, patients tend to allocate higher importance ratings to features with the stated method. In reality, Finances and Accessibility dimensions, which are insignificant or less significant in the derived importance model, is assigned high importance in the stated ratings. They are something expected and important, but they do not essentially add significantly to the prophecy of overall satisfaction, as long as they exit at an expected level.
Although Finances and Accessibility at the current level may not appear as an important factors contributing toward overall satisfaction, failure to maintain the expected level of both may lead to Finances and Accessibility becoming the important determinants of overall satisfaction.
Managers therefore must vigilantly understand results from the two methods in order to obtain full appreciation of the condition.
Here, among core attributes, all three dimensions receive more or less equal score (Technical quality of care = 37.04, Art of care = 31.91, Finances = 31.05) when measured through stated importance method. And thus revealing the fact that people attach equal importance to every dimension when asked, but in reality when they experience the service finances dimension becomes insignificant or not important if they are getting satisfied for technical quality of care and art of care (Derived score for Technical quality of care = 77.98, Art of care = 21.00, Finances = 1.01). Among secondary attributes, patient convenience is the major decision driver (stated score = 36.24 derived score = 39.89).
Physical environment was found to be less important compared to accessibility in stated importance method (Physical environment = 30.72, Accessibility = 33.04), but over passing the score of accessibility in derived satisfaction method (Physical environment = 33.50, Accessibility = 26.61), thus revealing the fact that people attach less importance to physical environment, as it is expected attribute of the service and thus the minimum expected level of the attribute should always be present and in reality when people experience the service, the satisfaction is derived from this attribute.
Moreover, Study finds that type of hospital visited i.e. govt. or private is affected by demographics such as gender, age and income level. Type of Hospital Visited and Income Level influence satisfaction derived from core as well as secondary factors thus being most influencing demographics in hospital selection, while Insurance Coverage only concern satisfaction relating to secondary factors.
Furthermore, a handful of opportunities exist for satisfying the patient needs as there are significant gaps live for many of attributes seen through differences between importance and satisfaction. There exist a high correlation between overall satisfaction and recommendation for a particular hospital, thus, the healthcare service experience with a particular hospital will definitely provide some inputs for revisit and recommendation.
Further, we found out that the primary source of information is friends, family and relatives (WOM), thus recommendation is being of utmost importance and thus attention should be paid to provide a praiseworthy experience to patients.

I was in my office one day, when a real estate investor called me on the phone. He said, “Garry, I just had one of my tenants move out – and they took the refrigerator with them! They said it was theirs.” Uh oh.
They took the refrigerator!
I immediately called the seller, who explained that those particular tenants had previously sold their home, and so they had brought their own refrigerator with them. He had simply forgotten, and there was no mention of it in the lease.

4 Characteristics of Top Real Estate Pros …
1. They create structure in an unstructured environment.
Real estate is not your typical 9 to 5 job, where opportunities are clearly identified and day-to-day responsibilities are well-defined. It is up to the real estate professional to identify the problems and opportunities; to set a plan of action that will bring success. They are not told how to allocate their time, or which deals to pursue or ignore.
The successful ones create a great framework for activity.
I will never forget the day I learned my first lesson in commercial real estate. It came shortly after I joined a team of 25 brokers at Coldwell Banker Commercial Real Estate. They ultimately became a who’s who of Columbus real estate that included Richard Schuen, Ed Joseph, John Hall, Don Matsanoff, Greg Schenk, Chuck Manofsky, Doug Goddard, Ted Hobson, Bob Matias, Benton Benalcazar and several others.

Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine by Traditional Irish
The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalizing cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music.

Between Greece and Russia, faith and diplomacy connect in curious ways
Between Greece and Russia, the diplomatic and spiritual overlap
ON THE face of things, the last few days have been a time of flourishing Greco-Russian amity, rooted in a common Orthodox Christian faith. As the ceremonial high point of Vladimir Putin’s visit to Greece, one of the few European Union members where he can count on a warm welcome, the Russian leader paid a visit to the ancient monastic polity of Mount Athos. He was received with pomp and ceremony not only by the leaders of the peninsula’s 20 monasteries but by Greece’s worldly head of state, President Prokopis Pavlopoulos. “Today as we resurrect the values of patriotism, historical memory and traditional culture, we hope for a strengthening of relations with Mount Athos,” Mr Putin declared.
But as any historian of that part of the world can tell you, having a common creed and a common reverence for the same holy places and rites doesn’t always make for smooth diplomatic relations. Nations of the same faith can compete as well as co-operate. A good example of this is the events that unfolded just over a century ago in the huge Russian monastery of St Panteleimon which was part of the presidential itinerary at Mt Athos.
In the summer of 1913, the tsarist navy made an extraordinary intervention in the affairs of the monastic peninsula and deported about 800 Russian monks, from St Panteleimon and elsewhere, as punishment for being on the losing side of a raging theological argument. (Roughly speaking, it was over whether the words like God and Jesus are holy in themselves, or only because of the divine realities they denote. Humble monks, and a few quite sophisticated ones, felt that the latter view denied the spiritual experiences they had when repeating the name of Jesus; but they lost out.)
Although this theological dispute was mainly confined to the vast Russian contingent on the holy mountain, it unfolded against the background of intense geopolitical competition over the future of Mount Athos.
In November 1912, as part of the first Balkan war which largely drove the Ottoman empire out of Europe, Mount Athos was taken over by the army of Greece, which assumed that the peninsula would simply become Hellenic sovereign territory. But the tsar had a different idea: the peninsula could become a protectorate administered by six Orthodox powers, in which Russia would predominate. Part of the tsar’s argument was that Russian monks, thanks to a huge influx in the late 19th century, were the largest contingent on Mount Athos.
Why, then, did the tsar’s forces weaken their own diplomatic case by taking away hundreds of Russian monastics? The best guess is that the entire monastic peninsula was on the verge of veering out of control because of the theological dispute which had been gathering pace for several years; and there were fears in St Petersburg that Greece might use the chaotic situation as an excuse to expel all Russians from the monastic polity. By sending in the navy, the tsar was signalling that if anybody was going to settle disputes on Athos, it would be Russia.
After the Russian Revolution in 1917, Greek worries about a Slavic takeover of Mount Athos subsided. With Russia under atheist control, the flow of Russian novices to the ancient community came to an abrupt end. By the time communism fell in 1991, only a handful of elderly Slavs remained. But since the end of communism, the Greek authorities, both worldly and ecclesiastical, have remained extremely wary of letting too many non-Greeks settle on Mount Athos; and they insist that all residents of the community must accept Greek citizenship.
So in the vastness of St Panteleimon’s, which was home to about 2,000 Russian monks at the turn of the 20th century, there are now only about 70 Russian and Ukrainian monastics, doing their best to maintain the sprawling premises and its cultural treasures, including precious manuscripts and early printed books. That is one the places that Mr Putin has just visited, with cameras banned for that part of his tour. He professes strong feelings about Russia’s religious heritage; he was once seen to shed tears while visiting a tsarist-era pilgrims’ compound in Jerusalem. But if he has any thoughts about restaffing St Panteleimon’s with his compatriots in order to regain its former glory, his Greek friends will start to worry.

|Titel (primär)||Psychopathological symptoms as precursors of depressive symptoms in adolescence: a prospective analysis of the GINIplus and LISA birth cohort studies|

Depressive symptoms are highly prevalent in adolescence, highlighting the need for early identification of precursors. Research into psychopathological symptoms predicting depressive psychopathology in adolescents is therefore of great relevance. Moreover, given that the prevalence of depressive symptomatology in adolescence shows marked differences between girls and boys, insight into potential sex-specific differences in precursors is important.
This study examined the relationships between emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer problems, and difficulties in prosocial behaviour at age 10 (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), and the presence of depressive symptoms at age 15 (Depression Screener for Teenagers). Using data from 2824 participants of the GINIplus and LISA birth cohorts, the association of each SDQ subscale at age 10 years with the presence of depressive symptoms at age 15 years was analyzed using sex-specific logistic regression, adjusting for potential confounders.
Emotional problems [odds ratio (OR) 1.99, p = 0.002 for boys and OR 1.77, p < 0.001 for girls] and peer problems (OR 2.62, p < 0.001 for boys, OR 1.91, p = 0.001 for girls) at age 10 showed an increased risk for the presence of depressive symptoms at age 15. Additionally, boys with conduct problems at age 10 were at greater risk of showing depressive symptoms in adolescence (OR 2.50, p < 0.001).
Based on the identified prospective relationships in our study, it might be of particular importance to tailor prevention approaches during childhood to peer and emotional problems to reduce the risk of depressive psychopathology in adolescence. Moreover, particularly in boys, it seems important to also target conduct problems in childhood as a precursor of depressive symptoms in the adolescent period.

Following the pandemic, homeowners are looking to refresh their spaces. Changing outdated light fixtures can update a home in subtle, yet meaningful ways. As Randall Whitehead, IALD puts it, “why hold onto those fixtures from the 1980s or ’90s? We change our phones every year. Why live with light fixtures that are 30 and 40 years old?” Below are some of the top trends consumers can expect to see.
Rather than the “birds on a wire” over mirrors look, consumers are beginning to see the value of cross illumination — placing a light fixture on each side of the mirror instead of above. This setup provides even illumination to both sides of the face, without heavy shadowing under the eyes and chin.
During installation, homeowners need to fix this type of lighting at an equal distance off the center of the sink, according to Whitehead. Traditionally a pair of vanity lights are mounted vertically, 18 inches from the centerline of the sink and 36 inches apart. A good mounting height for the junction box is 5‘6’’ above the finished floor.
“Projects where the mirror is as wide as the vanity can also use a pair of pendant hung fixtures, installed in the ceiling,” Whitehead says. “Homeowners should have a space of around three inches between the shade material and the mirror surface.”
Cross lighting is also necessary to fill in any shadows made by potential down lighting. Sconces are a great choice for this, adding a decorative flair to the design. In this scenario, homeowners should use tighter light beams with a higher output of task lighting.
“Most bathrooms now have a lot of layered lighting: there is recessed lighting, or there’s a flush mount in addition to the lights around the mirror,” says Megan Rollinson, Product Manager at Hinkley. “There’s a lot of light at play. Cross illumination gives people the ability to use statement-making sconces in the bathroom.”
Demand for LED
LED lighting has developed immensely over the years. Manufacturers now offer a high CRI (color rendering index) on their LEDs, providing the richness of incandescent light. There are also a wide variety of color temperatures available. Whitehead recommends a CRI of 90 or higher and a temperature of 2700 degrees kelvin — the color of incandescent light at full brightness.
“We tend to like our lights dimmed,” he says. “Incandescent light gets warmer when dimmed. LEDs do not inherently do that. The color temperature remains constant. It is only in the intensity of the light which changes.”
Warm-dim LEDs, like Philips LED bulbs, dim with a “warm glow” effect, similar to traditional incandescent bulbs. Other LED bulbs simply become less bright, without the cozy glow.
“What’s really happening is that there are a variety of color temperature LEDs within the fixture that dim in succession to provide that warm, inviting light,” Whitehead says. “This desire for LEDs carries right into the bathroom.”
According to Rollinson, integrated LED fixtures have also transformed aesthetically. She says Hinkley’s early offerings tended to skew more modern and contemporary.
“Now, most of our integrated LEDs are very transitional or very updated traditional, which lends itself to a wide variety of decor,” she says. “You can take that technology and fit it to any aesthetic. Our integrated fixtures have been one of our fastest growing segments.”
Toe-kick lights are also trending in bathroom lighting, where an LED strip is mounted at the base or underneath a floating vanity to provide a glow of light. Though most homeowners don’t consider adding toe-kick lighting within a bathroom setting, it can add an element of luxury to the space. In addition, it can serve as a path light for rooms where extra safety measures are needed.
“Toe-kick lighting turns on automatically when someone enters the room at night,” Whitehead says. “This gives enough illumination to use the bathroom without turning on other lights, which could throw off your circadian rhythm.”
When combined with traditional overhead lighting, toe-kick lighting also helps balance the “hot spots” in a room. Instead of opting for LED strips or recessed toe-kick lighting, homeowners can also use basic 120V plug-in LED rope lighting, where the cost is considerably less.
An electrician can also connect a wall switch to the outlet where the LED rope lighting is plugged in. This will make turning the lighting on more convenient and allow homeowners to hide cords and outlets.
Illuminated mirrors go back to the days of vintage movies where the mirror is surrounded by a ring of bulbs — the original “ring lights.” Lighting manufacturers are now providing these mirrors with dimmable LEDs, including warm-dim varieties which change the light from 5000 degrees K (daylight) to 2400 degrees K (the color of dimmed incandescent).
“You can get them with built-in side lighting or lighting that goes along the entire perimeter of the mirror,” Whitehead says. “With this kind of light placement our faces are more evenly illuminated. This makes it easier to apply make-up or shave…or both.”
For a modern look, lighted mirrors combine lighting and mirror all in one. They are available in various styles as well, making them suitable for every bathroom. Lighted mirrors not only enhance the visual value of your bathroom but make it more practical and convenient.
Various features such as Bluetooth speakers, customizable lights and even built-in televisions are also available in illuminated mirrors.

Mr. Chairman, honourable secretary general of the United Nations, honourable United Nations high commissioner for human rights, Ladies and gentleman:
We have gathered in the follow-up to the Durban conference against racism and racial discrimination to work out practical mechanisms for our holy and humanitarian campaigns.
Over the last centuries, humanity has gone through great sufferings and pains. In the Medieval Ages, thinkers and scientists were sentenced to death. It was then followed by a period of slavery and slave trade. Innocent people were taken captive in their millions and separated from their families and loved ones to be taken to Europe and America under the worst conditions. A dark period that also experienced occupation, lootings and massacres of innocent people.
Many years passed by before nations rose up and fought for their liberty and freedom and they paid a high price for it. They lost millions of lives to expel the occupiers and establish independent and national governments. However, it did not take long before power grabbers imposed two wars in Europe which also plagued a part of Asia and Africa. Those horrific wars claimed about a hundred million lives and left behind massive devastation. Had lessons been learnt from the occupations, horrors and crimes of those wars, there would have been a ray of hope for the future.
The victorious powers called themselves the conquerors of the world while ignoring or down treading upon rights of other nations by the imposition of oppressive laws and international arrangements.
Ladies and gentlemen, let us take a look at the UN Security Council which is one of the legacies of World War I and World War II. What was the logic behind their granting themselves the veto right? How can such logic comply with humanitarian or spiritual values? Would it not be inconformity with the recognized principles of justice, equality before the law, love and human dignity? Would it not be discrimination, injustice, violations of human rights or humiliation of the majority of nations and countries?
The council is the highest decision-making world body for safeguarding international peace and security. How can we expect the realization of justice and peace when discrimination is legalized and the origin of the law is dominated by coercion and force rather than by justice and the rights?
Coercion and arrogance is the origin of oppression and wars. Although today many proponents of racism condemn racial discrimination in their words and their slogans, a number of powerful countries have been authorized to decide for other nations based on their own interests and at their own discretion and they can easily violate all laws and humanitarian values as they have done so.
Following World War II, they resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering and they sent migrants from Europe, the United States and other parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in occupied Palestine. And, in fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine.
The Security Council helped stabilize the occupying regime and supported it in the past 60 years giving them a free hand to commit all sorts of atrocities. It is all the more regrettable that a number of Western governments and the United States have committed themselves to defending those racist perpetrators of genocide while the awakened-conscience and free-minded people of the world condemn aggression, brutalities and the bombardment of civilians in Gaza. The supporters of Israel have always been either supportive or silent against the crimes. [End of Part 1]

We saw the most beautiful, historical planes from the early 1900s. We rode in helicopters, airplanes and explored the cockpit of a Boeing 747. We watched planes fly in and head out right at the runway sides.
Check out our aviation fieldtrip blog with PattyKakesKidz.
Upon entering, we come across a floor full of wooden planes to explore and ride, plus a small cockpit for the kids to play in.
Upon walking into the museum, we come across a blend of Halloween and some historical aircrafts.
Watch our kids flying the Blue Angel.
Seated inside the
Take Flight, inside the Cockpit
The cool thing was that we could hear the local tower talking to the incoming planes.
The kids stood right at the sides of the runway watching planes fly in and take off. One plane even circled around so they could wave to the kidz. There were screams of excitement coming from all kids. Well, me too LOL!
We wrapped up our day with lunch near the airport and a 40 minute drive home. Kidz were exhausted. Ok, so was I. It was all worth it just to see the faces on these guys. I took almost 200 pictures. Wish I could show them all, but I had to keep this blog short. Well, umm, at least as short as I could LOL. Enjoy my friends and keep following us here weekly, with PattyKakesKidz!

1890s Darktown Brotherhood Baseball Minstrels Poster
This is a magnificent color lithograph of “The Darktown Brotherhood vs. The Blackville League.” These are “George Thatcher’s Minstrels…Under Management of Rich & Harris.” The litho shows the dynamic game in vibrant color between these two “negro league” teams of fancy. The top flight ballpark of the time is adorned with clubhouse with “Champions” flag flying proudly. The fascinating close-up point of view shows a key runner stealing home as our foolhardy batter has missed the pitch. The umpire calls a swinging strike as he tears off his antiquated spider mask. In the background, the base runner steals second while the catcher anxiously awaits the pitch, ready to tag the runner. His sorry but enormously detailed equipment includes a birdcage catcher’s mask as well as a red and white striped uncased pillow belted to his stomach for a makeshift chest protector. Our inept batter of course has his foot on the sliding runner’s hand, further throwing the nearest future into a state of further question and chaos. The litho is marked “The Strobridge Litho Co., Cinn-NY-Lon.” Its condition is EX-MT with some paper affixed to the bottom border which can be professionally removed - it is only noticeable upon close inspection. However, this is indicative of the fact that this fresh-to-the-market poster has had no work done and is 100% original (and untrimmed). This is the only specimen we know to exist. It measures 24x25”, framed to slightly larger. The “Darktown" team was perhaps influenced by the J.P. Stevens baseball mechanical bank of 1888. Simply said, this is perhaps the finest piece of baseball graphics we have offered in our 25 years of auctioning baseball memorabilia. It works on so many levels - baseball, “negro league,” minstrels, and - most importantly - it is wonderful.

Does ivy damage other plants?
It is not a parasitic plant and has a separate root system in the soil and so absorbs its own nutrients and water as needed. Ivy does not damage trees and its presence doesn’t indicate that a tree is unhealthy, and it doesn’t create a tree-safety issue.
Is ivy bad for soil?
Causes erosion. Sadly, they are not expert enough: the roots of English ivy are simply too shallow and too coarse to effectively grip soil. In reality all the ivy does is kill shrubs and trees that do have deep, fine roots.
Is ivy good for your garden?
Ivy is a great workhorse in the garden because it’s evergreen, attracts wildlife and is good on north-facing walls and in areas where nothing else will grow. There are also many cultivars with different leaf shapes and/or variegated foliage. This plant is a great choice to hide ugly walls, fences and tree stumps.
Is ivy bad for houses?
do not usually cause damage to wall surfaces, but common or English ivy (Hedera helix sp.) supports itself by aerial roots and where these penetrate cracks or joints they may cause structural damage. Sound masonry is unaffected. Ivy may also provide access for intruders and harbour pests such as mice.
How can I kill ivy in my garden?
If the ivy is growing on a wall, cut through the stem with a sharp saw, dig out the root, and wait for the foliage to die before removing the stuck-on stems carefully with wire brush. If it is covering the ground, dig it out with a mattock, spade or fork and dispose of it away from the garden.
What animal eats English ivy?
Few animals eat the ivy plant. In fact, because deer only occasionally eats it, English Ivy is often listed as a “deer-resistant” landscape plant in the Northeast. White-tailed deer, raccoons, and black bear are able to browse on this plant as well. They will eat the leaves, fruit, and even the stems.
How poisonous is English ivy?
English ivy is mildly toxic when taken orally. Animals and children may vomit, have diarrhea, or develop neurological conditions. The leaves can cause an allergic skin reaction, if you touch them.
Is ivy bad for bricks?
If stucco or the mortar between bricks or stonework is in poor condition, then an exuberant ivy plant will undoubtedly weaken the structure as its aerial roots attempt to extract moisture from the masonry. If the ivy is allowed to grow unchecked, the weight of the plant can eventually topple a weakened wall.
Is ivy bad for fences?
Usually introduced by humans, invasive plant and vine species, such as Common Ivy or Japanese Honeysuckle, can damage structures and buildings and can outcompete other plants that you might be attempting to grow on or around your fence.
Does white vinegar kill ivy?
Whether looking to eradicate poison ivy, English ivy or other ivy types, white vinegar is a safe, nontoxic method to rid your property of the plant, as vinegar’s acid content makes it an ideal weed killer among its many other home uses. Spray ivy infestations thoroughly with white vinegar.
Can my Neighbour grow ivy on my fence?
ANSWER: The ivy will belong to the neighbour as its roots appear to come from the neighbouring property. If the end-terrace wall is structurally sound, then the ivy is unlikely to cause damage as generally ivy roots are not strong enough to penetrate a structurally sound wall.
Why English ivy is bad?
The rootlets burrow under the bark, causing fungus and decay while creating opportunities for disease to enter. English Ivy is dangerous because it can spread very quickly through native woodlands, both by it’s creeping runners, and seed dispersal by birds who eat the berries.
Is English Ivy poisonous to dogs?
Many popular ivy plants, including English ivy and Devil’s ivy/Golden Pothos, have moderate toxicity to pets. Mouth and stomach irritation, excessive drooling, foaming at the mouth, swelling of the mouth, tongue and lips, vomiting, diarrhoea.
How do I kill ivy in my garden?
The good ol’ white vinegar method Arm yourself with a garden sprayer or a regular spray bottle. Fill in the container with a mixture of 80% water and 20% white vinegar. Spray the ivy plants thoroughly, making sure you don’t affect any other plants you don’t want to get rid of.
Is dust from ivy dangerous?
The plant itself and the nasty dust that covers it can be irritating to skin and eyes. Exposure to ivy dust, pollen and rodent droppings (the usual coating on ivy plants) can trigger asthma or a bronchial attack for those with sensitivities.
Is ivy dangerous to houses?
Is it OK to have ivy grow on your house?
If you want to add ivy to your home or landscape design, it’s best to: Grow on Masonry: Limit ivy to well-built, solid masonry walls. Make sure there are no cracks or loose bricks. Avoid Invasive Species: The common English ivy is so invasive that it is banned in some communities.
Can Neighbour grow ivy on my fence?
Will ivy die if you cut it?
Ivy’s only source of nutrients are the vines growing in the ground, so once they are cut off, the ivy will die. To remove ivy from a tree, cut these vines at ground level and again a few feet up toward the canopy, removing the pieces in between so that the ends of the vine cannot reattach to one another and heal.
How long does white vinegar take to kill ivy?
Take care when spraying the vinegar not to get the spray on wanted vegetation, as vinegar is nonselective and will kill wanted grasses and plants in addition to the ivy. Saturate the ivy as much as possible with the spray. Wait one week, then observe ivy infestations. Dead ivy leaves and vines will appear brown.
Self-clinging climbers such as Boston ivy and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus sp.) do not usually cause damage to wall surfaces, but common or English ivy (Hedera helix sp.) supports itself by aerial roots and where these penetrate cracks or joints they may cause structural damage. Sound masonry is unaffected.
How do you kill ivy naturally?
Some use white vinegar as an alternative to herbicides for English ivy removal. Put the vinegar in a sprayer or spray bottle, and lather the vine thoroughly—making sure not to squirt any nearby vegetation. Wait roughly a week or so, and check treated areas for dead/dying ivy.
Why is English ivy bad?
The invasive plants suffocate and weigh down trees. They squelch young plant life by blocking the sunlight from reaching the ground. And if left unencumbered, they create ivy deserts—where no other plant life thrives.
Is it dangerous to have English ivy in my garden?
The most common danger of having an English Ivy plant in your garden is that they can produce small amounts of poison in their leaves and stalks. This is something that they will produce, and it will not kill the plant. It is just a small amount, but if you have children around, this can be dangerous.
Where to find poison ivy in the garden?
The appearance of poison ivy plants are similar to other ornamental plants; it’s often misidentified or overlooked. However, if you have a keen eye, you will spot the plant growing in a three-leaf cluster near to the ground, or climbing trees or walls.
What kind of poison does English ivy have?
English ivy (Hedera helix) is an indoor and outdoor ornamental vine. This plant contains saponins, which have caused poisoning in cattle, dogs, sheep, and humans. Two chemicals in the sap can also cause severe contact dermatitis in sensitive humans.
What happens if you eat an ivy leaf?
English ivy is mildly toxic when taken orally. Animals and children may vomit, have diarrhea, or develop neurological conditions. The leaves can cause an allergic skin reaction, if you touch them. In respect to this, is Common Ivy poisonous?
How do you kill poison ivy on trees?
If you are attempting to kill poison ivy growing up a tree, the best solution is to cut the vine close to the base of the tree trunk, then carefully apply Roundup to the severed vine so as to kill the roots of the plant.
Is Ivy good or bad for trees?
Ivy itself is not inherently harmful to trees. Yet if there is an overwhelming amount of it on a tree, it can be harmful. Trees are at risk from ivy if they already have some damage, or on a decline. If ivy is allowed to climb to far up a tree, it can start to cover the leafing branches.
How damaging is English ivy to trees?
Damage From English Ivy English Ivy Growth. Native to the Caucasus, English ivy cultivars flourish from United States Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 10. Damage to Trees. English ivy engulfs trees, causing several types of damage. Environmental Damage. Damage to Structures. Extermination.
Does Ivy harm trees as it climbs up them?
Ivy damages the bark as it climbs and will eventually overtake even a mature tree, weakening branches through its weight and preventing light from penetrating leaves. Weakened plants and trees are more susceptible to problems like pests or disease.

MasterMana continues to spread
According to the research report published by cyberintelligence company Prevailion on Oct. 2, the MasterMana botnet uses budget Russian malware that is delivered as a Trojan via a phishing email scam.
The malware itself likely costs just $100, though the hackers also required a virtual public server at a cost of $60.
Despite costing just around $160 in total, MasterMana achieved considerable success, Prevailion warned, concluding that the bad actors behind it reached 2,000 devices each week since December 2018. The researchers noted:
“This campaign’s threat actors saw an opportunity and appear to have carved out a nice niche for themselves. We suspect that this particular threat actor is likely to continue operations, as previous public reporting has not deterred them, therefore we wanted to highlight their new modus operandi, so that network defenders may more easily identify their operations.”
Threats abound for crypto users
The malware works by arriving as an infected document in a phishing email. If a user opens the document, it would trigger a series of events which would create backdoors to steal any cryptocurrency holdings in associated hot wallets.
The resurgence in the price of cryptocurrencies this year has led to new threats being detected on an almost weekly basis.
Just last week, cybersecurity experts warned about a new spyware which used encrypted messenger Telegram to replace user wallet addresses with its own.
Recently, major Slovakia-based antivirus software provider ESET has discovered a banking trojan that can steal cryptocurrencies and is especially widespread in Latin America.
As Cointelegraph reported, estimates put the total amount raised by cybercriminals this year at $4.3 billion.

This blog first appeared in Education Week.
Your school, program, or college has probably seen improvement in learner access to technology in the last few years (although it may still be an EdTech mess of devices and apps). But you may still be looking for ways to achieve real personalization in path and pace. It turns out that developing competency-based models where learners progress based on demonstrated mastery is a lot harder than adding devices.
As Julia Freeland Fisher recently noted, “Systems will likely get into trouble if they attempt to make just a few aspects of their models competency-based, while retaining an otherwise traditional structure.” Julia suggested four onramps–places to get started with personalized and competency-based learning and we’ve added a half a dozen more.
1. Teacher learning. Teachers often teach the way they were taught. Giving them a competency-based experience is a great place to start. Read the new Bloomboard report on micro-credentials to learn how to deliver bite-sized learning and recognize it with a digital badge.
2. Low stakes space. After school and summer school are a great place to innovate–it’s how NewClassrooms (School of One) got it’s start in NYC. A recent American Youth Policy Forum report suggested that quality after school programs increasingly provide academically enriching experiences where students can demonstrate competencies that can apply towards credits in school.
3. Blended and adaptive learning. Use a lab or class rotation model to introduce adaptive reading and math software. It will provide an hour or two of personalized learning each week as well as valuable real time data. Students that use i-Ready from Curriculum Associates for 45 minutes or more per week grew 44% more than the average student in reading and 65% more in math. Launched in 2012, almost three million students (about 8% of U.S. enrollments) benefited from the Curriculum Associates’ adaptive assessment and instruction in 2015.
4. Credit recovery. Where blended learning started; this is a a great place to pinpoint and address gaps and, as a result, advance competency-based learning. Our report How To Successfully Scale Personalized Learning, produced in partnership with Fuel Education, confirmed that credit recovery remains a common entry point that can be the catalyst for scaling blended learning across schools and districts. The Boston Day and Evening Academy has been recognized as a pioneer in competency-based credit recovery. Widely used solutions include Apex, Gradpoint from Pearson, and Edgenuity. (See 12 Reasons Every District Should Open a Flex School.)
5. Alternative education. Small alternative high schools and dropout-recovery programs can be a great place to pilot competency-based and personalized learning strategies. As Julia notes, they’re designed to take on students with varying credit and mastery levels and meet students where they are, identify and fill gaps, accelerate progress, and graduate them on a flexible basis. These programs can even help credit-deficient students begin earning college credit (read about the Big Picture Learning pilot with College for America).
6. Supplemental online learning. Part time online learning (often called Course Access) expands offerings for students particularly electives and world languages. It may allow students to move at a flexible or individual pace. As Julia notes, in some states online course providers can now obtain seat-time waivers to avoid keeping students “on the clock.” A great example is New Hampshire’s Virtual Learning Academy Charter School which bundles its content by competencies (rather than courses) and receives funding based on mastery rather than time.
7. Career and technical education. Although often overlooked in the CBE conversation, CTE pathways and internships are not only great job preparation for students, they can be a great working example of competency-based education for a community. The whole idea of “showing what you know” before moving on has long been a hallmark of CTE. The NAFTrack Certification system combines school and work demonstrations of mastery. GPS Education Partners combines personalized learning and manufacturing work experiences into Next Generation Career Pathways (GPS intern shown below).
8. Academy. Launching a school-within-a-school is a great way to expand options while showcasing next generation learning. New Tech Network supports nearly 200 project-based schools, 90% are district schools and half of those are co-located with other schools. Almost all of the 667 NAF career academies are co-located. If the whole school isn’t ready to move, launch an academy. (Teachers at the original Napa New Tech High below.)
9. Two teacher pilots. An even more nimble solution than a full academy is encouraging small teacher teams to pilot innovations.
- Denver Public Schools runs an incubator, Imaginarium (discussed here), where a new school team or two teachers with a good idea can gain design and financial support.
- Summit Public Schools, the innovative Bay Area secondary network, is offering its personalized learning platform to middle school teacher teams nationwide through the Basecamp program (discussed here; Summit teacher team below).
- Kettle Moraine School District (in metro Milwaukee) opening small thematic flex academies inside the large comprehensive high school. They started with two teachers and an idea and now serve almost 40% of the students and serve as an in school field trip opportunity for teachers.
- Mesa Public Schools (in metro Phoenix) held a EdTech Expo and gave mini-grants to teacher teams (Superintendent Mike Cowan at the Expo below).
10. World languages: Expanding access to world languages is a great place to pilot online and competency-based learning (see Elevate and Empower) and simultaneously empower teachers with new roles as blended and competency-based learning coaches to departments outside of world language.
11. Grant opportunity. Use grant programs as an opportunity to mobilize a design process. Programs with great frameworks include NewSchools Catapult, NGLC regional funds, and XQ Super School. In New England, Nellie Mae Education Foundation supports student centered learning pilots (listen to this podcast) and the work of the New England Secondary School Consortium.
12. Curriculum redesign. Julia notes seeing more districts redesigning their school model and curriculum with competency-based approaches in mind. She suggests a “sandbox” approach to rethinking curriculum—that is, allow an autonomous team from the district to rethink a new curriculum from scratch that is not beholden to existing models, scope and sequence, or publisher content. (See Helping Chief Academic Officers Make The Shift From Managed Instruction To Personalized Learning.)
The foundation for a competency-based approach is a system of formative assessment and mastery tracking (see a survey of tools).
Next Steps. It is challenging and controversial to convert an entire school system to a personalized and competency-based approach but you don’t have to do it all at once. These dozen entry points provide places to start with limited investment and risk. With a few working examples in place, it creates local reference points and field trip opportunities.
In addition to launching a few pilots, start a community conversation about what graduates should know and be able to do (see examples from Marion Ohio and Houston Texas). It will help shape a long term vision and build agreements about next steps.

When you receive your credit card, you would think it’s yours completely. But whether you’re using it regularly or keeping it secure as a “security blanket” in case of emergency, it’s crucial to know that creditors procure the right to close your account. This may happen often without warning (and, they’re under no obligation to provide one). Here are some of the most common reasons why a creditor may decide to shut your credit card account.
3 common reasons your credit card account may be closed by a creditor
This means that you’re not paying your credit card bill. It perhaps comes as no surprise that this is the most common factor for a creditor to close your account. You haven’t kept up your end of the bargain—making payments—so they don’t feel any need to keep your account open. (Of course, just because they closed your account doesn’t mean they’ll stop trying to collect the money you owe them.) Also unsurprisingly, a closed account due to delinquency is going to really hurt your credit score.
To prevent account closure due to delinquency, you’ll have to make regular payments on time, even if it’s just the minimum payment. Creditors have been known to close an account just because a customer was consistently late making their payments. If it’s simply due to a timing issue, such as all your bills being due around the same time each month leaving you strapped for cash, you can ask your creditor to move your due date; they’ll usually oblige.
You might think why a credit card company would care whether or not you use your card. The truth is credit card firms can only extend credit to a limited number of customers, and they want customers who will use it regularly so they can collect transaction fees and interest charges. So, if your card is sitting around unused, the creditor is not making money; in fact, you could be costing them money because they could be giving your credit to someone else who would actually use it. So, the creditor may opt to do just that—cancel your credit card and extend it to someone else.
When this happens, you’ll see “account closed by creditor” on your credit report. The good news is that unlike delinquency closures, this notation isn’t picked up in the credit scoring calculation and won’t impact your score just by being there. The bad news is that losing an account can impact other aspects of your credit score, such as:
Your credit utilization ratio, which is the how much of your available credit you are using. For instance, say you have a total of $10,000 in credit and a total balance of $3,000; your credit utilization rate would be 30 per cent. Now, let’s say a creditor decides to cancel a credit card that has $4,000 of available credit. That means your available credit went from $10,000 to $6,000, but you still have a $3,000 balance—that would bring your credit utilization rate up to 50 per cent.
Length of credit history, which creditors use to predict your future financial behaviour. If the idle card that gets cancelled happened to be one of your oldest, this will affect the average age of your credit history and can lower your score.
Diversity of credit, which is the various types of credit on your report. If the credit card that was cancelled was the only credit card you had, having that credit card account closed reduces the diversity of your credit, which can reduce your score.
The length of time you can keep a card inactive before the creditor decides to close it varies from company to company, so you may want to inquire with your credit card company about their policies. Another way to avoid having a card closed due to inactivity is to use it every few months, and pay it off immediately. You could also consider setting up a recurring payment on it, such as car insurance, which you then pay off every month.
Red Flags on Your Credit Report
Meet Daniel. He’s been laid off from his job and is relying on credit cards to get by—not a good strategy, but it happens. Daniel’s maxed out two credit cards, but he still has his trusty TD Visa! So he heads to the grocery store, stocks up on food and household items, and swipes his card at the register. Denied. He swipes again; denied again. What’s going on, he wonders. This card is in good standing!
Unfortunately for Daniel, creditors monitor credit reports and look for red flags. In Daniel’s situation, TD Bank noticed that he’d maxed out two cards within a span of just two months, and hadn’t made payments during this time. This indicated to the creditor that Bob was going through hard times, and rather than risk him using their card next and not being able to pay it back, they decided to pull the plug on Bob. Sometimes creditors will just lower the limit to mitigate the risk, while other times they’ll just close the account completely.
To avoid account closure due to red flags, you need to be sure you make at least the minimum payments on each account every single month, no exceptions. You can’t assume that you can stop making payments on one card and still keep another; it doesn’t always work out that way.
Having an account closed can be a startling experience when you have no warning — and often an embarrassing one depending on where you are and with whom when it’s declined. You should call your creditor following the closure to get confirmation on why it was closed and to make sure it wasn’t an error. If it was due to inactivity or false red flags, they may decide to reinstate it. But if it was due to delinquency, chances are it’s gone for good. If you’re in debt denial or you don’t know exactly where you stand when it comes to your debt, you can talk to a one of our debt/credit specialists to take a glance into your financial situation.
If you are facing debt issues, and the fact that that has affected your credit in the past, consider the opportunity of rebuilding your credit with a car loan. Not only we can get your credit in the right shape, we also offer cashback to help you with your debts/finances so you start afresh. Visit Canada Auto Experts or call 1-855-550-5565 and get pre-approved regardless of your credit.

Capt. Lori Legat Cline’s latest first as a female pilot is one destined to have a lasting impact on the future of her airline. The Waukegan native and 1979 graduate of Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart in Lake Forest is the first female pilot to reach the level of managing director at American Airlines.
In her new, additional role as managing director of pilot recruitment & crew accommodations, Cline enthusiastically welcomes the opportunity to find female and other diverse candidates to fill upcoming cockpit vacancies. This is a crucial time for American and other airlines, she says, considering a huge pilot attrition is expected to occur over the next decade.
Cline, the daughter of well-known Waukegan architect Joseph Legat, believes getting an early start is key to recruiting the next generation of pilots, especially females. “If you begin the process at the college level, it’s too late,” she said. “High school, maybe, but it really should start at the middle-school level by fostering an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) courses.” Woodlands Academy has recently taken an active role in sparking such interest by hosting math competitions and robotics events for area middle-school girls during pre-pandemic times.
Through American Airline’s cadet program, Cline hopes to have helped thousands on their journey into the airline’s cockpit before she retires. “I won’t be around to witness the seeds we’re sewing now bloom into full-fledged airline pilots because our cadet program takes about seven years to complete,” she said. “Since I retire within the next five years, I’ll have to enjoy the results of these efforts knowing my fingerprints were on the next generation of aviators who will represent a much more diverse demographic than what has historically been seen at American.” While doing this, Cline will continue to be an active female airline captain, which she sees as a big plus in achieving her goals.
When it comes to recruiting females, Cline certainly has her work cut out for her. Currently, women remain only about 4 percent of the pilot population. “This means a wide open career field for today's young women, but to get in on this upcoming hiring surge they will need to start now,” she said.
During her long career as a commercial airline pilot, Cline became the industry’s first-ever female director of flight safety when she was at US Airways. Cline subsequently was chosen to represent the airline during the investigation of Flight 1549 on which the 2016 movie “Sully” was based. The motion picture, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Clint Eastwood, focuses on the investigations that followed Capt. Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger’s January 2009 landing in New York City’s Hudson River after losing both engines shortly after takeoff. Cline appeared in scenes depicting her real-life role as an NTSB investigator reenacting the crippled flight's path through simulator recreations which were conducted to determine if the plane could have made it back to land.
Cline expressed an interest in flying at an early age and received her first pilot’s license in 1978 at age 18. Three years later she was hired by a South Carolina commuter airline where, in 1983, she became the youngest female airline captain in the world.
Later, at US Airways, Cline continued to score firsts for women in her profession. She was a member of the airline’s first all-female Airbus 320 flight crew and became its first female check airman and FAA designee.
In addition, Cline has co-authored two books: “Ladybirds I, The Story of American Women in Aviation” and “Ladybirds II, The Continuing Story of Women in Aviation” and gladly has seized every opportunity to mentor young women with their eyes on the sky in need of an extra push to realize their dreams.
Cline is quick to acknowledge the foundation she got at the all-girls Woodlands Academy as a key to her success in a male-dominated career – where only the uniform changed from Catholic school plaid to airline industry stripes, as she puts it. Cline entered Woodlands as a 7th-grader at a time when the school also included pre-secondary students. “The education I got at Woodlands Academy propelled me to heights I might not otherwise have achieved,” she said. “They do such a great job in creating confident leaders. I came away with all the tools I needed to succeed.”
As Cline tackles her latest challenge, which includes increasing the percentage of women pilots, she might find some guidance in her own writings. “There is simply no limit to what a woman can achieve,” Cline says in her Foreword to “Ladybirds II.” As the 20th Century ended, she adds, women in aviation found themselves at the threshold of a new beginning rather than at the end of an era.

India’s overall tax revenue is rather high, 34 percent of it are indirect taxes. Indirect taxes encompass stump duty, duty, VAT, customs duty, etc. It relates to the overall sum of indirect taxes collected by the Indian government. In many other developing nations, the proportion of indirect tax is greater than that of direct tax and in developed nations, however, the proportion of indirect taxes is much lower. As a result, the latest introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) would enable the authorities to efficiently manage taxpayers. This will be in a position to build the whole tax system.
The Goods and Services Tax system substitutes a large number of indirect taxes and merges all of into one GST tax, this, in turn, has a helps business organizations all over the nation, especially the small and medium business organizations.
How Does GST Aid Small/Medium Business Organizations?
We all know how cumbersome the process of paying taxes or almost anything related to taxes can be, and due to the existence of various departments and being made to run in circles between those departments, in order to pay GST or anything related to GST, takes up a lot of time and energy and it simply is a waste of time. The more departments there are, the more you end up running between them.
Presently, the overall tax imposed by the state and federal governments is up to 32%, however, with the introduction of the GST, company owners are required to pay a slightly smaller tax of about 18-22%. In addition, they will not have to pay more than one tax and don’t have to pay any other department. It renders the job a lot easier for any company owner.
Here are a few ways how the implementation of GST will directly affect small and medium business organizations.
- Presently, VAT payment is compulsory for any company if the yearly turnover in certain states is 5 lakhs or more and in certain other states, it is 10 lakhs. That distinction causes confusion in multiple states. Under GST a company is not allowed to file or receive GST if the yearly turnover is 10 lakh. This applies to every single state. This would encourage several small companies with a turnover of between 5 lakh – 10 lakh to escape filing for a GST return.
- GST will assist and simplify the procedure of starting a company in India. Previously, each and every company in India was needed to acquire a VAT registration which varies from one country to another, and the laws and regulations are dissimilar. This was also a very frustrating process. Nevertheless, under GST, business owners are only required to register for GST, and it has a unified procedure quite similar to service tax.
- GST enables small and medium-sized companies to conduct business in India with convenience, owing to the less difficulty. The difference between both the goods and the services has disappeared, and compliance will be made much easier.
Benefits Of GST
Listed below are a few of the benefits of GST that a tax-paying citizen registered under GST can avail.
Reduction In Barriers Of Trade
One of the most energizing advantages of GST is the decreased trade obstructions between different states in India. Before GST, offering to clients in different states was troublesome, because of the muddled state, interstate, and national taxes included. To exacerbate the situation, each state had various different rules and regulations. For small and medium organizations, this additional weight was regularly difficult to hold up, given their restricted client base. Since GST disposes of all the multiple state taxes, it opens up entire India to your business. With GST, you can dispatch items anyplace in the nation and still pay a similar tax rate.
GST Filing Made Easier And Convenient
For entrepreneurs, perhaps the best thing about the GST is its comfort and convenience. In the old framework, your organization needed to pay and track an assortment of taxes, including administration tax, VAT, entertainment tax, luxury tax, and countervailing duty. With GST, you just need to make just one payment, making your month to month and yearly returns a lot simpler. That implies you can remain compliant with the law without having to get a professional to do it for you.

Assumptions are beliefs taken for granted. They are so natural and involuntary they usually do not enter our consciousness. We assume that when we get out of bed, the floor will be beneath us and that when we mail a letter the intended recipient will receive it.
However, there are also assumptions we make that may not be valid. For example, we may assume that someone is angry with us by the manner in which that person speaks to us. Yet it could be that the person is feeling frustrated by an event entirely unconnected to us and is simply “taking it out” on the first person encountered—in this case, you.>>> READ MORE >>> →
To reduce your stress and improve relations with young people, always consider giving options or choices. The choices can be limited, but the sooner a young person starts to make choices the more responsible that person becomes.
Offering options is an easy strategy to encourage decision-making. For example, simply asking a child, “Would you prefer to wear your brown pants or your blue ones?” or “Would you like to eat your carrots or peas first?” structures options and promotes decision-making.>>> READ MORE >>> →
Remember that being positive in your communications is a more constructive teacher than sending negative messages. Your children do better when they feel good, not when they feel bad.
Speaking to children about what you WANT—in contrast to what you DON’T want—prompts feelings of being valued, supported, respected, motivated, and challenged. Communicating in positive terms also triggers enthusiasm, capability, and pride. These approaches promote maturity while bringing more joy to parenting.READ MORE >>> →
It’s almost amazing how the words we use can prompt emotions. Here is a classic example:
A blind man was sitting in a public square with an empty can of pencils and a cardboard sign that read, “I’m blind. Please help.”
A young woman walked by and changed the words on his cardboard sign.
Many coins were soon heard being dropped into the blind man’s pencil can.
The young woman had changed the blind man’s sign to read: “It’s a beautiful day and I can’t see it.”

How NOT to be an
Overprotective (helicopter) Parent
1. Have the mindset of raising young people to be secure yet empowered to have wings.
2. Realize that every time you do something that a young person can do, you are depriving that person of taking responsibility and developing positive self-esteem.
3. Understand that if you want a young person to be mature, you must ask yourself if what you are doing is in the young person’s best interest or is something you want because it feels good for you.>>> READ MORE >>> →

Switching from Imposing Discipline to Promoting Responsibility
No one has an inherent desire to obey—to be told what to do—not even children. However, when responsibility is promoted, obedience follows as a natural by-product.
Of course, learning how to promote responsibility in others takes practice and patience. Going from the mindset of imposing discipline to one of promoting positivity, offering choices, and asking reflective questions takes time. No matter how long you’ve been parenting, teaching or supervising, making the switch to the new methodology will be fraught with ups and downs. The key is to be persistent.… >>>READ MORE >>> →
When raising and disciplining children, many teachers and parents rely on rules. They devise rules for homework, rules for chores, rules for behavior, and so on.
In practice, however, the use of the term “rules” is often counterproductive. Rules are used to control—not inspire. Although essential in games, rules are counterproductive in relationships.
Think of it this way: If a rule is broken, a mindset of enforcement is naturally created. The adult’s thinking goes something like, “If I don’t do something about this, it will occur again and I’ll lose my authority.” The situation between the adult and child immediately becomes adversarial.

Does frequent and Intemperate sex lead to prostate cancer?
Does frequent and Intemperate sex lead to prostate cancer? Intemperance, beware of 3 consequences.
A patient had blood in the urine while going to the toilet, and the urine in the toilet turned red, so he hurried to the hospital. The doctor drew blood to check the prostate-specific antigen PSA, the value was as high as 200, and the digital examination of the prostate also felt small induration, and the needle biopsy was diagnosed as prostate cancer.
This patient has always been in good health in the past, but he has had sex more frequently. Is this cancer related to sex?
Does frequent sex lead to prostate cancer?
In fact, there is no evidence that frequent sex can lead to prostate cancer, and even studies have shown that proper ejaculation can reduce the risk of cancer.
As early as the 1960s, some people proposed the conjecture that men who have sex too frequently are more likely to develop prostate cancer. However, until today, this conjecture has not been confirmed, and even scientists in the United States and Australia still believe that the number of ejaculations More men will have a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.
In 2003, Australian scientists published a study on the relationship between prostate cancer and the number of ejaculations in the British International Journal of Urology. When they compared thousands of prostate cancer patients, they found that the average number of ejaculations per day was relatively high. Many people have a lower risk of prostate cancer, about 40%.
The following year, the well-known American magazine “Journal of the American Medical Association” also published an article. After 8 years of follow-up investigation of nearly 30,000 men, it was found that men who ejaculate more than 21 times per month are more than the number of ejaculation per month. Men who take 4 to 7 times have a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer.
Since more ejaculation can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, can men be unscrupulous? Are they not afraid of exhaustion?
Will frequent sex be exhausted?
First of all, the “essence” in “exhaustion” refers not to pure sperm, but semen. The main components of semen are fructose, protein and various enzymes, as well as inorganic and organic salts, of which 90% The semen is mainly derived from the seminal plasma of the prostate and seminal vesicle glands, and it is very difficult to reach the level of depletion of semen. Few men can exhaust the semen secreted by the seminal plasma of the prostate and seminal vesicle glands in a short period of time .
In addition, a normal man’s ejaculation volume is only 2~6ml per time, and if it is continuous ejaculation, only the first and second ejaculations will have more sperm, which will gradually decrease later, and there will even be no sperm, only seminal plasma.
Therefore, don’t worry too much about the “exhaustion of death”. After all, not every man is a “Seven Jirou” in one night. It is worth mentioning that at the 2009 World Masturbation Marathon, Japan’s Sato Masanobu continued to masturbate 9 An hour 58 minutes set a record, and most importantly, he did not appear to be “exhausted”.
Therefore, even if the sex life is frequent, it is difficult to achieve the “exhausted life” situation. However, the sex life should be modest. If it is too frequent, there will still be a lot of harm.
Warning: Too frequent will cause these hazards
Too frequent sex life will cause the following harms.
1. Decline in physical fitness
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that excessive sexual intercourse will lead to excessive leakage of the body’s essence, and therefore the body’s immunity will be reduced, and various diseases will be “possible”.
2. Premature aging of sexual organs, even dysfunction
Too frequent sex will increase the burden on the sex organs, causing premature aging of the sex organs, and even sexual dysfunction.
3. Reduce fertility
In fact, excessive sex life will also reduce male fertility, because frequent sex life will cause men’s semen to become thinner, the quality of sperm will also decrease, and the probability of women becoming pregnant is also low.
Therefore, learn to control yourself. However, when it comes to the prostate, I believe that many men understand how important it is, but do not know how to protect the prostate.
Guard the prostate, do 5 points
If you want to have a good prostate, you must do these things well.
1. Don’t indulge
The prostate will be congested and swollen during sex. If you have too much sex, the prostate will induce prostatitis and even more serious diseases due to excessive congestion. Therefore, if you care for the prostate, don’t over-indulge.
2. Don’t hold back your urine
If you hold your urine frequently, bacteria will “infuse” into the prostate, causing the prostate to be infected by bacteria, leading to inflammation of the prostate. Therefore, urine should be excreted immediately instead of holding back.
3. Don’t sit for a long time
The prostate cannot withstand prolonged sitting, because prolonged sitting will affect the blood circulation of the prostate, leading to poor excretion of prostatic fluid, which will induce prostatitis over time. Therefore, it is best to maintain a certain amount of exercise every day.
4. Don’t be greedy for cold
Many people don’t know that the prostate is actually cold-tolerant. If it’s too cold, the prostate glands will shrink and the blood vessels and ducts will expand. In this case, the prostate will become hyperemic, which will cause the prostatic fluid to accumulate and cannot be excreted, which will aggravate the prostate. The occurrence of inflammation.
5. Don’t smoke or drink
The prostate is a very “fragile” organ, which is very sensitive to alcohol. When the prostate is stimulated by alcohol, it will have hyperemia and swelling. At the same time, the nicotine and nicotine in cigarettes will not only directly damage the prostate, but also affect the prostate. Blood circulation leads to impaired prostate function. Therefore, if you want to take care of your prostate, you must stay away from tobacco and alcohol.
In addition, healthy eating habits and adequate sleep are also very important for protecting the prostate.

Kevin Conner is often at work before 6 a.m. “Every day is different,” says the executive chef of Community Servings, the Boston-area nonprofit that delivers free medically appropriate meals to critically ill people and their families. Conner estimates that his kitchen produces between 1,200 and 1,300 meals a day, from scratch.
A typical day might include prepping a last-minute delivery of donated veggies from a local farm, coordinating groups of corporate volunteers, and figuring out how to make a wholesome, tasty chili, without tomatoes and beans, for people on a renal diet because of kidney disease. Conner says, “I enjoy working with volunteers . . . and being able to give people foods that are comforting and delicious.” Restaurant customers come in and “they go away. We get to see our clients getting better every day, and we really believe our food is a part of that.”
Continue reading below
The chef started first went to school for accounting, but after a restaurant job, he enrolled in Johnson & Wales’ culinary arts program. He trained with Boston chefs Barbara Lynch and Michael Schlow, and later moved into the corporate sector, working in Atlantic City casinos, and as executive chef at Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, where he heard about Community Servings. He says he always planned to find work where he could give back.
“I wanted to get the opportunity to teach, and do something with food where it was benefiting people.” Community Servings allows him to cook creatively, in ways that help the very sick. “I love . . . that you get pushed every day to work with fresh ingredients, but do it specifically for diets that are there to help people really heal themselves,” he says. “We really believe that food is medicine.” Community Servings, 18 Marbury Terrace, Jamaica Plain. 617-522-7777, www.servings.org

By Daniel Hunter
Too many staff in organisations across the UK are posting comments online about business activity, with their actions posing a major threat to client and company confidentiality.
The problem is made worse by a lack of internal control and failure to recognise the increased risk of security breaches, according to KPMG’s head of cyber response.
In a keynote speech to delegates at the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors conference in London today (Thursday), Martin Jordan warned that companies adopting a laissez-fair approach to employee social media activity may be exposing themselves to unnecessary high levels of risk.
His comments come against a backdrop of research revealing that 1 in 4 c-suite executives admit sensitive information has been leaked to the public through sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.
With 1 in 3 of those working in organisations with blocked access also finding ways to circumvent security protocols on their work devices to meet social networking needs and just 48 percent providing 2 hours or less social media training per year, it appears that many organisations have not grasped the dangers that social media presents or taken sufficient steps to secure themselves.
“Too many organisations mistakenly believe that the likes of Twitter and LinkedIn are the only social media sites to worry about, but their popularity in the UK does not make them a unique threat," Martin Jordan, a partner within KPMG Risk Consulting, told the summit:
"In an increasingly global world, with satellite offices and customers around the world, attention must be given to country-specific social networking sites such as those in China and parts of the Middle East. Even at a local level it is amazing how the simple tricks are the ones that are missed. How often, for example, are passwords changed? How many are too simple to be safe?
“No one is suggesting draconian measures are the answer to protect company reputations, but adopting an ‘ostrich approach’ will not make the problem disappear. At the very least business leaders need to find the balance between doing the right thing for their staff, their reputation and their clients and this often means imposing measures to clarify acceptable levels of communication online.”

What is the pelvic floor?
Your pelvic floor is made up of muscles and connective tissues. It is shaped like a bowl and supports your pelvic organs. These organs include your bladder, your bowels and rectum, and your uterus and/or vagina. If the pelvic floor isn’t working well, then you may have issues with:
- pelvic pain
- leaking of urine or stool
- pelvic or vaginal prolapse
- a number of other issues we call pelvic floor disorders
What is pelvic floor physical therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a type of treatment for people with certain kinds of pelvic floor disorders. It involves one-on-one treatment with a trained pelvic floor physical therapist. The therapist assesses your pelvic floor and designs a treatment plan for you. This treatment plan may involve:
- external work– pressure and massage of the hips, buttocks, perineum, vulva
- internal work– manipulation of muscles and connective tissue of the pelvic floor through the vagina or rectum
- biofeedback and electrical stimulation
What about Kegel exercises? Aren’t those pelvic floor exercises? Why do I need to go see a pelvic floor physical therapist if I know how to do Kegels?
Kegel exercises are only one kind of pelvic floor exercise. It may not be the best type of exercise depending on what kind of pelvic floor disorder you have. Also, Kegel exercises can actually be very difficult to perform correctly. Some people may think they know how to perform a Kegel exercise, but in fact, they are performing the exercise incorrectly and may be making their pelvic floor problem worse. That said, if you are pretty sure that you’re doing your Kegels correctly, then it is a good place to start, especially after you have a baby. In addition, some common yoga exercises can help strengthen pelvic muscles.
Your pelvic floor physical therapist will evaluate your overall pelvic health and determine what kind of pelvic floor exercises best meet your needs. Your therapist will teach you how to perform the right kind of pelvic floor exercises the right way. Some people may learn how to do strengthening exercises such as Kegel exercises, while others will learn how to do relaxing exercises.
What kind of conditions can be treated with pelvic floor physical therapy?
There are a number of different kinds of pelvic floor disorders that can be treated with pelvic floor physical therapy. These disorders include:
- leaking of urine
- leaking of stool
- overactive bladder
- pelvic organ prolapse
- pelvic pain
- pain with sex
- sexual dysfunction
How does PFPT work to help treat my pelvic floor disorder?
Depending on what kind of pelvic floor issue you have, your pelvic floor physical therapist will create a personalized plan to treat your condition.
If you have issues with leaking urine when you laugh, sneeze or cough, your physical therapist may help you learn to activate your pelvic floor muscles to hold your bladder when you’re doing those activities. If you have issues with leaking urine when you feel a desire to go to the bathroom, your therapist may help you learn to activate your pelvic floor muscles to hold your bladder when you’re having a strong urge.
If pain is your primary issue, your pelvic floor physical therapist may diagnose you with myofascial pain syndrome. This pain syndrome is caused by tight and tender pelvic floor muscles. You may also have trigger points which are areas in your pelvic floor muscles which when pressed cause pain. This pain syndrome can be related to other pain syndromes such as painful bladder syndrome, pain with sex and other pain disorders related to pelvic organs. Your therapist will focus on relaxing your tight pelvic floor muscles and treating the trigger points that can cause flare-ups in your pain.
What are common symptoms of myofascial pelvic floor disorder?
You might have pain in the pelvis. You may also experience pain in your vagina, vulva, rectum, or bladder, which may or may not be caused by sex. You may notice pain in other areas such as hips, back, buttocks, or abdomen. You may also notice burning, dull aching, or a heaviness in your pelvis. Other symptoms include urinary frequency and urgency and issues with constipation.
How did I get myofascial pelvic floor disorder?
We do not know why some people develop myofascial pelvic floor disorders. Some people who had tears at the time of childbirth may develop myofascial pain. Some may have had pain due to other conditions that led to pelvic floor dysfunction. Some people have issues with vulvovaginal processes such as thinning of the vaginal tissue from menopause and develop pain because of this, leading to myofascial pain. If you have an underlying cause of your pain, be sure to mention this to your medical provider and therapist.
What conditions are not treated by pelvic floor physical therapy?
Pelvic floor physical therapy can be very helpful for people who have symptoms due to a weak or tight/painful pelvic floor. However, conditions not related to a weak or tight/painful pelvic floor cannot be treated with PT. Some of those conditions include:
- pain of the vulva or vagina due to infection or skin changes
- pain or incontinence due to bladder infections
- pain or incontinence due to inflammatory conditions of the bowel
- leaking due to a fistula or diverticulum
Please see your medical provider to determine if you have a condition that needs to be addressed separately from PT.
What can I expect during my course of pelvic floor physical therapy?
You will likely undergo a course of therapy that lasts 10 to 12 weeks. Each week you will meet with your therapist for 1-hour sessions. During this course, you will be given exercises to perform at home. At the end of this treatment course, your therapist will assess your progress and determine whether or not you should continue with another course of therapy or if you can be discharged from in-person treatment and just continue with home therapy. If you have a history of trauma or abuse, please let your medical provider and physical therapist know. They will work with you to make sure you are comfortable with the planned therapy course and to make any adjustments needed in order to meet your treatment goals.
When happens after pelvic floor physical therapy?
You should continue with your home exercises as instructed by your pelvic floor physical therapist. You should also follow up with the medical provider who referred you to the therapist to make sure there are no additional treatments you should pursue.

The Case for a Climate-Smart Update of the Africa Mining Vision
The 2009 Africa Mining Vision (AMV) provides guidance for the industrialization of African countries by leveraging their mining sector. However, the global context has changed since its adoption. As a result, it does not include guidance on how governments should embrace the climate change agenda as an opportunity for better and further industrialization, deeper linkages, and sustainable development.
There are many ways to look at the implications of international climate change policy for Africa, including through the increased extraction of minerals needed in clean energy application and the greening of mines. The localization of global value chains—induced by a rising carbon cost and by the desire to build resilience in supply chains in light of increased pandemic risks—provides another set of opportunities.
Seizing this momentum will require policy guidance to ensure that the relocation of industries in global value chains occurs upstream (closer to mineral sources) rather than downstream (closer to final consumers). An open acknowledgment of the impact of climate change on the shifting global value chains for critical minerals and the need to broaden the governance framework to include the emerging role of sustainability and ESG requirements should form the foundation for a revised and revitalized AMV.

The County of Grande Prairie is throwing its support behind the Town of Beaverlodge’s renewed push to replace the Beaverlodge Hospital. Members of county council recently agreed to spend upwards of $104,000 to help pay for the consultation fees surrounding the project’s start-up.
The proposed complex would operate 24 hours a day with 12 inpatient care beds. It would include an emergency department, a lab, and diagnostic and therapy departments.
Reeve Leanne Beaupre says the county has had a pair of representatives on a project-specific committee for just about a year but says she’s been wanting to get the proposed medical complex across the finish line for some time.
“I’ve been an advocate, both personally and in my capacity as reeve for as long as I’ve been reeve, to replace Beaverlodge Hospital, which is the oldest hospital in Alberta,” she adds.
Beaupre adds the creation of the medical complex would be the icing on the cake of a truly transformative time for health care in the region.
“This area is very busy, and I don’t think people quite understand exactly how much work is being done behind the scenes. The new hospital is moving along, the equipment has been ordered and it’s being installed… and just like everything else the pandemic has slowed down some of those things happening, but they’re starting to ramp up again.”
In January, the Town of Beaverlodge released a Request For Partnership to get the project across the starting line. At that time, Mayor Gary Rycroft said the next steps, once the process has begun and a partner was identified, will include what he calls a robust and inclusive public engagement process. He hopes to involve not only Beaverlodge residents, but health care employees and various groups throughout the region.

We often hear phrases like: “I want to get fit, but I can not stop eating”, “I started a diet a week ago and then suddenly everything collapsed for a day”, “I train hard and give everything, but I can not be on a diet for longer than a month.”
This article is a must read for all of you who are starting a diet. No matter if you wish to lose weight, gain weight or simply maintain your body weight – these 14 Tips on How to Diet easily will be of great help for you. Here you will find some tips on how to adjust your appetite and keep in shape.
Anyone going to the gym wants to get the best results for his time and efforts. Many fitness enthusiasts train well and cope with the workouts to some degree, but when it comes to diet and nutrition they fail. Almost all of you might have tried different diets from the Internet, a fitness instructor they know, friend, but why there is no effect on you?
Everyone is different and needs individual guidance and approach. That is why these thousands of diets that you see on the Internet, mostly will have no result. How is it possible to recommend the same diet and workout routine to a person who is 130 pounds and a person who is 170 pounds? Or a person with a fast metabolism and a person with slow metabolism..?
But that’s not really the topic of the article, here’s what it is about and how can we help you the next time you decide to try a diet or a custom diet plan.
# 1. Drink more water
If you are on a weight loss diet and you feel hunger instead of reaching for food, first drink several glasses of water. So not only has a great chance to reduce appetite and to avoid unnecessary eating but if you choose to eat your stomach will be somewhat sated and a portion would be less.
# 2. Do not drink your daily calories
Very often people who seek our help do not understand that they can drink a lot of their calories with their drinks. People do not understand that a large portion of the calories (50% !!) can come from drinks full of sugar. Some common misconceptions are that cold tea is plain tea or that orange juice is healthy and can be consumed in unlimited quantities.
For example, reshly squeezed orange juice – 250ml contain 21 grams of sugar and 110 calories, and it is a much better choice in terms of sugars than the ice tea. Not consuming such drinks would allow you to replace them with high calorie food that will keep you satiated for a longer period of time.
# 3. Do not fill your shopping cart with “junk” food
Easily applicable advice that can reduce the consumption of junk food and drinks is just not buy and not have junk food near you. So when it comes to eating the chance to prepare high quality food is multiplied by many times.
# 4. Bring your food out with you
If you are serious about achieving fitness and bodybuilding goals, the availability of food containers is a must. Good preparation not only ensures that you will keep on a diet but it will help you be on the right track towards the goal for way longer than a week or a month. You will not stray from your goals and you will diet easily and effectively. You can reduce the desire for junk food if you first sate your hunger with strong food, and then if you still need to eat something extra.
# 5. of our 14 Tips on How to Diet easily – Cafe
Coffee gives additional energy when you lose tone or when we think we need food, “to raise”, but in most instances, black coffee might do a better job. Caffeine stimulates the metabolism while decreasing appetite – which is great if you are on a weight loss diet. Not by chance 90% of weight loss products on the market use it as a basis. If you are used to consume coffee with sugar, you can try to replace it with stevia or another sweetener.
# 6. Eat slowly and in small portions
Start your meals with a salad, go to a good source of protein with vegetables, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, depending on how you balance your diet. So there will be no place for calorie dessert or beverage and often you will manage to refrain from this temptation to eat sweet after you meals. According to surveys it takes about 20 minutes from the start of eating for the signals of satiety to reach the brain.
# 7. Brush your teeth
Brushing leads to a sense of purity and freshness. This can keep longer without putting something to eat in your mouth. This can help you understand how to diet eaily. Tactics like this do really work and can help you keep on a diet longer.
# 8. Distract yourself
Are you hungry or just bored? When you feel that you are hungry and drinking water or chewing gum is not helping, you can try different activities such as walking, shower, laundry, phone call and others. Simple tips like this can help you not break your diet routine
# 9. Sleep at least 8 hours
Shortage of sleep increases hunger and has a negative effect on the metabolism. This is related to the level of cortisol (stress hormones) which may rise even when full. Sleeping at least eight hours at night also would give you more energy during the day and increase growth hormone levels – they are directly involved in the burning of fat and the regulation of other important body hormones.
# 10. Healthy snacks
Keep handy something quick and easy to eat, that would also bring you and any benefits. Examples are certain fruits and raw nuts – such as almonds or an apple. Nuts are full of calories and can make you full for a longer period of time, thus help you keep on a diet.
# 11. Green tea
Green tea may increase metabolism and reduce weight. It is a thermogenic and natural diuretic. It plays a role in the oxidation of fatty molecules and is also a good antioxidant. Recently both as caffeine, it is a common ingredient in some weight loss products as Fat Burners or it is used in combination with L-carnitine and CLA.
# 12 of 14 Tips on How to Diet easily – Eat before party
Eat high-calorie nutrition before going out. Thus you will be full and will easily resist the temptations of bad food that everyone else accepts at parties. A good example would be chicken steak with salad, boiled potatoes, and vegetables with a decent portion of water.
# 13. Do stack unhealthy foods
Do not on stack unhealthy foods and products that you know are not good to eat. The best place would be high and inaccessible – for example, over a kitchen cabinet. Another trick that we like is to share this type of food so there will be less to you.
# 14. Use your nondominant hand
This unusual study suggests that when people violate the physical sequence of action that comes to nutrition, they have more control over food intake. The result of the study shows that this unusual way of eating – with your left hand if you normally eat with your right hand can reduce calories intake with up to 30%.
The conclusion we know that these 14 Tips on How to Diet easily are useful. What techniques you use as you find yourself in similar situations. Do you have any suggestions or information to add?

AbstractObjective To measure the associations between newly initiated palliative care in the last six months of life, healthcare use, and location of death in adults dying from non-cancer illness, and to compare these associations with those in adults who die from cancer at a population level. Design Population based matched cohort study. Setting Ontario, Canada between 2010 and 2015. Participants 113 540 adults dying from cancer and non-cancer illness who were given newly initiated physician delivered palliative care in the last six months of life administered across all healthcare settings. Linked health administrative data were used to directly match patients on cause of death, hospital frailty risk score, presence of metastatic cancer, residential location (according to 1 of 14 local health integration networks that organise all healthcare services in Ontario), and a propensity score to receive palliative care that was derived by using age and sex. Main outcome measures Rates of emergency department visits, admissions to hospital, and admissions to the intensive care unit, and odds of death at home versus in hospital after first palliative care visit, adjusted for patient characteristics (such as age, sex, and comorbidities). Results In patients dying from non-cancer illness related to chronic organ failure (such as heart failure, cirrhosis, and stroke), palliative care was associated with reduced rates of emergency department visits (crude rate 1.9 (standard deviation 6.2) v 2.9 (8.7) per person year; adjusted rate ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.85 to 0.91), admissions to hospital (crude rate 6.1 (standard deviation 10.2) v 8.7 (12.6) per person year; adjusted rate ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.86 to 0.91), and admissions to the intensive care unit (crude rate 1.4 (standard deviation 5.9) v 2.9 (8.7) per person year; adjusted rate ratio 0.59, 95% confidence interval 0.56 to 0.62) compared with those who did not receive palliative care. Additionally increased odds of dying at home or in a nursing home compared with dying in hospital were found in these patients (n=6936 (49.5%) v n=9526 (39.6%); adjusted odds ratio 1.67, 95% confidence interval 1.60 to 1.74). Overall, in patients dying from dementia, palliative care was associated with increased rates of emergency department visits (crude rate 1.2 (standard deviation 4.9) v 1.3 (5.5) per person year; adjusted rate ratio 1.06, 95% confidence interval 1.01 to 1.12) and admissions to hospital (crude rate 3.6 (standard deviation 8.2) v 2.8 (7.8) per person year; adjusted rate ratio 1.33, 95% confidence interval 1.27 to 1.39), and reduced odds of dying at home or in a nursing home (n=6667 (72.1%) v n=13 384 (83.5%); adjusted odds ratio 0.68, 95% confidence interval 0.64 to 0.73). However, these rates differed depending on whether patients dying with dementia lived in the community or in a nursing home. No association was found between healthcare use and palliative care for patients dying from dementia who lived in the community, and these patients had increased odds of dying at home. Conclusions These findings highlight the potential benefits of palliative care in some non-cancer illnesses. Increasing access to palliative care through sustained investment in physician training and current models of collaborative palliative care could improve end-of-life care, which might have important implications for health policy.

A year after Safaricom promised Kenyans 5G, it has finally delivered. But before you check your sophisticated smartphone for 5G, there will be a trial – and error – period. It will take place in Nairobi, Kisumu, Kisii and Kakamega for both individual and enterprise customers. Safaricom will slowly, steadily, roll out their 5G sites across nine towns over the next year.
“This is almost an emotional moment for me. Considering how far we have come from, trying to explain to people what the internet is. I congratulate Safaricom on this milestone. It reinforces the country’s position as being at the forefront of innovation in the region and the world. 5G technology will usher increased internet speeds and capabilities for millions across the country, laying a strong foundation for a new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs,” said Hon. Joe Mucheru, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Information and Technology.
The primary objective during the trial period will be to establish if customers can enjoy speeds of up to 700 Megabits per second, with plans to offer than 1,000 Mbps speeds in the coming months.
The beauty of 5G technology is how easily it will become an alternative to Home Fibre and Fibre for Business services, mainly because it will be targeting customers in places where Safaricom is yet to roll out its fibre network. As for the Enterprise and Home Internet customers already onboarded, they should expect to be provided with a 5G router.
“Today marks a major milestone for the country. With 5G, we aim to empower our customers with super-fast internet at work, at home and when on the move, supplementing our growing fibre network. At Safaricom, we are proud to be the first in the country and the region to bring this latest innovation to both our retail and enterprise customers empowering them to start exploring new opportunities that 5G provides,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom.
5G can support up to a millionaire scale per square kilometre compared to 4G which can only support up to 100,000 connected devices in a similar area. This makes 5G suitable for providing super-fast internet speeds in high-density areas and for linking thousands of connected devices such as in manufacturing and supply chain management for businesses. This definitely favours the Internet of Things (IoT) and plugs Kenya directly into the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR).
According to iotsworldcongress.com, higher speeds will allow access to files, programmes and remote applications in a totally direct way, eliminating waiting periods. “By intensifying the use of the cloud, all devices (mobile phones, computers, etc.) will depend less on the internal memory and on the accumulation of data and it won’t be necessary to install a large number of processors on some objects because computing can be done on the Cloud.”
Nokia and Huawei were selected with the government trusting Safaricom to make the right decision as to who would be its partners. The truth is, Huawei was inevitable being at the forefront of 5G globally. As a mobile internet customer, you might want to buy select 5G smartphones, specifically, these models: Huawei Mate 30 Pro and P40 starting today, and from the end of April 2021 on the Nokia 8.3, Samsung Galaxy S21 series, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 and Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G.

If you had to pick an issue that has been carving out its own corner of the debt market among the medical community in recent years you would have to, at some point or another, address the issue of the renewed interest in alternative health products and the way that interest is changing the face of modern medicine.
Did you know that most MDs know very little about the potential benefits of alternative health products when it comes to treating various diseases and disorders that modern medicine has been trying to cure for years?
In fact, the only doctors that regularly prescribe alternative treatment methods for their patients are pediatricians, not because they believe in the value of alternative health products so much as most medicines are not considered to be safe for children less than a year old.
Should not that tell us something?
Alternative health products are made from the same natural products as the foods we eat. In fact, many of the popular "superfoods" cutting their way through the commercial market today, such as acai berry and cayenne pepper, have been a regular part of the diet of various civilizations around the world for centuries.
Because they are a natural food source they do not have many of the same dangers and side effects as modern day pharmaceuticals, and although some alternative health products have waked havoc in the past it has usually been in individual cases where the person had an allergy, metabolic problem, drug interaction or other isolated unnatural occurrence rather than a dysfunction on a large scale.
People have been using alternative health products to treat their ailments for years, although many of them may not have been aware that was what they were doing. Every time they reached for the aloe vera to soothe a sunburn, a vitamin C drop to stave off a cold or a can of ginger ale to settle their stomach they were using the same alternative health treatments that their ancestors used years ago.
That does not mean that we should scrap modern medicine completely and return back to a homeopathic society, however. Since the end of the intestinal tract of the brain, there is no evidence that the results of the study are either in the laboratory or in the laboratory.
Antibiotics are a much more efficient method of dealing with a bacterial infection before it becomes septic, and alternative anesthesias … well, try not to think too hard about that one.
The bottom line is that modern medicine and alternative health products need to work side by side in today's medical world, not constantly being fighting for the upper hand.
By integrating many alternative health therapies with traditional medicine you'll soon be able to enjoy the best health possible for your body.

Artificial intelligence will create more jobs than steal them, but the top challenge, however, will be a shortage of requisite talent to drive AI adoption.
Artificial Intelligence or AI, which is the talk of the town these days, is the promising future that is expected to engulf and enhance almost all aspects of life and work. In the process, it is also being believed that AI and opportunities associated with it will create numerous job avenues in the coming times. However, it will bring its own challenges along, the biggest one being availability and supply of skilled talent in AI.
Business leaders are optimistic about the impact of AI on job creation, according to a recent poll by EY conducted at the EmTech Digital Conference, produced by MIT Technology Review Insights. The poll of 122 global business leaders found that, while AI is expected to reshape the traditional workplace, more than half (52 per cent) of the respondents believe it will have a positive impact on job creation. In fact, about a third (32 per cent) of respondents say that, with the implementation of AI, more jobs will be created than lost, and an additional 20 per cent anticipate that AI will create a surge in new jobs, boosting the economy.
Talent gap is the top concern for organisations looking to apply AI
While organisations are increasingly implementing AI technologies, adoption plans are being hampered by a shortage of people with relevant skills. This may explain the proportion of organisations applying AI for purely functional capabilities. Indeed, a shortage of requisite talent to drive AI adoption is the top challenge for an enterprise-wide AI programme, according to 80 per cent of respondents. This is followed by a lack of integration of AI insights into current business processes (53 per cent), an absence of managerial understanding and sponsorship (48 per cent), and poor quality or trustworthiness of the data used for AI (48 per cent).
AI will transform a traditional process/industry by discovering new techniques and knowledge to find the answers that are not obvious. But all this can only be realised with the support of AI-savvy professionals, who can identify AI opportunities and AI-implementation specialists who are deeply knowledgeable regarding the AI components, including ML, Data and other underlying technologies.
Elaborating on the situation, Milan Sheth, partner, advisory services and technology-sector leader, EY India, shares that while most organisations have embarked on their AI journey, the pace of adoption is bound to accelerate in 2018. The aspirational goal of AI is to take intelligence and put it into machines. “To be successful, leaders will need to identify a business challenge and then determine where the technology can solve this problem. To be innovative, leaders will transform a traditional process/industry by discovering new techniques and knowledge to find the answers that are not obvious. But all this can only be realised with the support of AI-savvy professionals, who can identify AI opportunities and AI-implementation specialists who are deeply knowledgeable regarding the AI components, including ML, Data and other underlying technologies,” he says.
Anurag Malik, partner-people & organisation, advisory services, EY India, adds that the Indian government and businesses recognise the need to close the technology–skill gap and the urgent requirement to prepare the labour market for the imminent dominance of arti?cial intelligence. “To prepare the labour market for the future, it is necessary for the Government to periodically undertake an economy-wide skill gap analysis, which will, in turn, support policy makers in preparing for the future by analysing the current capabilities of the labour market and the skills it will need to achieve, to survive the impact of technology,” he suggests.

Businesses wish to use AI to improve, but aren’t tracking progress
The poll found that the top three outcomes business leaders seek from AI are: to improve and/or develop new products/services (54 per cent), achieve cost efficiencies and/or streamline business operations (50 per cent) and accelerate decision-making (49 per cent). The findings also showed that although organisations are seeing how AI can help them succeed, more than half (52 per cent) are not clearly defining business outcomes or key performance indicators (KPIs) related to AI. Instead, they are primarily focussing on piloting and learning.
Organisations lack scalable, enterprise-level AI strategy
While 30 per cent of business leaders say their organisations have functional AI capabilities and are piloting the technology within corporate functions, they still need an enterprise-wide AI strategy that aligns with these programmes. Only 21 per cent of respondents’ organisations are making progress in securing C-suite support and rolling out a strategy for applying AI, while another 28 per cent say their organisations have limited to no capabilities, and that technology is not regarded as a strategic, overall priority.

The Sipsey Wilderness was established as federally designated wilderness area by the Eastern Wilderness Areas Act of 1975. It was a valiant fight to protect this area from clear cutting and abuses by the United States Forest Service. The original wilderness area was 12,000 acres and doubled in size in 1988 by the Sipsey Wild & Scenic and Alabama Additions Act. The Sipsey has over 50 miles of National Forest System Trails and has opportunity for backpacking, dayhiking, wildlife viewing and more.
Wild Alabama stewards this wilderness through trail maintenance, Wilderness Stewardship Performance projects, Wilderness character monitoring, Forest Ambassadors and clean up days at Kinlock Falls that stop trash before it goes downstream.

8 Tips For Domestic Harmony In The Kitchen
Frustrated by the arguments that arise over kitchen duties? Check out these coping strategies
There are probably as many ways to handle cooking and kitchen responsibilities as there are people – is it any wonder the kitchen tends to be a hub for minor (but irritating) household disagreements? Whether you and your partner, housemate or kids have been bickering over who’s on garbage duty or due to do the washing up, here are eight strategies for maintaining peace and harmony in the kitchen.
1. Don’t micromanage
Unless it’s a major health issue (such as cross-contamination), if your partner/housemate/kid likes to do things differently, let them. Even if it bugs you, know that it’s far from the end of the world if the dishwasher is loaded ‘the wrong way’ or the cheese ends up in the produce drawer. Choose your battles carefully, because picking too many fights in the kitchen is sure to end in disgruntlement on both sides.
2. Do the other person’s most-disliked chore – and ask them to do the same for you
It’s incredible how personal the issue of chores can be. Do you despise taking out the recycling and rubbish? Can’t stand chopping veggies?
Whatever it is, let it be known and try to arrange a fair swap of duties of personal worst for worst. This relieves a lot of chore pressure, since what each of you strongly dislikes is taken out of the equation.
3. Try the golden rule of dishwashing
The golden rule of dishwashing states that if you cook, you are officially off the hook for dishwashing and clean-up duty. This method makes a lot of sense and keeps things pretty simple and conflict-free.
Of course, it won’t work for everyone – perhaps you enjoy cooking and don’t mind doing the dishes (or you’re worried your precious pans won’t be cared for properly), in which case it’s best to find an alternative chore for the non-cook to take on.
4. Be willing to break the golden rule of dishwashing
If you cooked – and dirtied every single pan and dish in the house in the process – be considerate and pitch in during clean-up, even if you usually follow the golden rule of dishwashing. This is especially important if your partner or housemate usually makes simple, one-pot dinners when it’s their turn to cook.
And it follows that it’s reasonable to ask for a little clean-up help when they’re the one to whip up an elaborate feast. A bit of flexibility makes for a more positive experience for everyone. (Just don’t forget to ask nicely if you’re the one who made the mess.
5. Avoid the too-many-cooks situation
If you both like to cook, trying to collaborate on a meal isn’t always the most positive (or peaceful) experience. And if your kitchen is small, it can be hard for more than one person to be cooking at a time.
If either of these scenarios sounds familiar, consider having one person do some early preparation work (like chopping veggies or starting a marinade) and let the other person take over when it comes time to put the dish together. And it’s probably a good rule that whoever is doing the actual cooking gets to decide how it’s done.
6. Keep a master shopping list
There’s nothing more frustrating than starting a recipe only to discover you’ve run out of a key ingredient. Designate a single spot in the kitchen, such as a centrally located chalkboard or notepad, as the place to jot down ingredients and supplies as they run out – and encourage everyone in the house to use it.
7. Make decisions during peace time
If an issue comes up that you feel you need to resolve, wait until you’ve moved on to a non-kitchen activity before bringing it up with your partner or housemate.
In other words, don’t try to settle anything during the dinner rush – tensions may already be running high if you’re trying to get dinner on the table, and any argument isn’t likely to end well.
8. Get some outside help
If everyone in your household (including you) is very busy, enlisting a bit of extra help to get kitchen tasks done can make all the difference.
Perhaps you could hire a cleaning service to take care of the most onerous chores, or try signing up for one of the new delivery services that provide fresh ingredients and recipes. Even something as simple as grabbing some meal plans and shopping lists online can ease the day-to-day burden of keeping the household nourished and running smoothly.
