How blessed are we, the individuals, who receive such a glorious opportunity!
They are blessed who saw God Sai with their own eyes, touched Him with
their hands, heard His words, talked to their heart's content with Him
and received the sanctified food served by Baba.
When grief wells up in one's mind that one was not alive to be with Baba, Baba appears in one form or the other to His devotees saying "I am with you even now". True devotion is the pre-requisite to get blessed by Baba.Elders say that devotion means service and pure love for God.
Mhalsapathy did not ask for any boon from Baba. He felt that he was in Baba's presence always. It is supreme love of a devotee. Mhalsapathy, indeed, experienced unalloyed bliss by Baba's Grace. Though Gadadhara was not literate, he ardently prayed for God-realization. Guru Tothapuri guided him on the right path. Innocent Gadadhara was, thus, transformed into Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Devotion devoid of a steady mind is of no use.
If one surrenders to the All-Merciful God in total love and devotion, God Himself will get self-imprisoned in the hearts of such ardent devotees and liberates their fettered.

For more than a decade now, security experts have had discussions about what’s the best way of choosing passwords for online accounts.
There’s one camp that argues for password complexity by adding numbers, uppercase letters, and special characters, and then there’s the other camp, arguing for password length by making passwords longer.
This week, in its weekly tech advice column known as Tech Tuesday, the FBI Portland office positioned itself on the side of longer passwords.
“Instead of using a short, complex password that is hard to remember, consider using a longer passphrase,” the FBI said.
“This involves combining multiple words into a long string of at least 15 characters,” it added. “The extra length of a passphrase makes it harder to crack while also making it easier for you to remember.”
Passphrases are harder to crack
The idea behind the FBI’s advice is that a longer password, even if relying on simpler words and no special characters, will take longer to crack and require more computational resources.
Even if hackers steal your encrypted password from a hacked company, they won’t have the computing power and time needed to crack the password.
Academic research published in 2015 supports this argument, explaining that “the effect of increasing the length dwarfs the effect of extending the alphabet [adding complexity].”
The FBI’s advice echoes a now-infamous XKCD webcomic that made the concept of passphrases-over-passwords widely known among internet users.
Today, there are web services that will help you generate passphrases in the XKCD style.
There are also open-source libraries that developers can use to add an auto-generate passphrase function in their apps.
Furthermore, NIST password recommendations issued in 2017 have also urged websites and web services to accommodate longer password fields of up to 64 characters for this same reason — to let users choose passphrases instead of short passwords.
The same NIST guideline also recommended using passphrases over passwords when possible, a recommendation also picked up in a DHS security tip issued in November 2019, also urging users to give passphrases a try.

Sunday, August 12, His Majesty King Abdullah II hosted an iftar banquet for Muslim scholars and Christian leaders. The banquet was held at Basman Palace in Jordan. One of those attending was the Rt. Rev. Munib Younan, far left, Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land and President of the Lutheran World Federation.
Sources say as many as 2 million people have come to Jerusalem to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the celebratory end of the holy month of Ramadan.
On the night of 14th August, Palestinian Jerusalemites and West Bankers came together in the Holy City to celebrate Laylat al-Qadr, the holiest night of Ramadan upon which Muslims believe that the first revelation of the Quran was delivered to the Prophet Muhammad in 610 CE.
Over 200,000 Palestinians gathered at Al Aqsa Mosque to perform Itikaf (the overnight retreat into the Mosque and reading of the Quran), which went on deep into the early hours of the morning.
The Old City was said to have a liberated feel for a night as crowds swarmed through the Damascus Gate, surging down the Old City’s packed-out alleyways to reach the deeply symbolic site of Haram al-Sharif. The sheer number of people totally overwhelmed the city’s infrastructure. Israeli authorities, in an unprecedented move, did not place a quota on the number of permits to be issued to Palestinians: all Palestinian women and men (over the age of 40) were allowed to enter Jerusalem with only minimal supervision by Israeli security.

Purpose/Objectives: Determine the impact of a 16-week supportive nursing intervention on caregivers of patients with newly diagnosed cancer.
Design: Randomized clinical trial.
Setting: Two midwestern cancer treatment sites.
Sample: Caregivers of newly diagnosed patients. Patients' mean age was 55.73 years; 55% had breast cancer, and 76% were female. Caregivers' mean age was 52.44 years, and 50% were female. 125 dyads consented to participate; 89 dyads completed the study.
Methods: A nursing intervention was delivered to the experimental group that emphasized symptom monitoring/management, education, emotional support, coordination of services, and caregiver preparation to care. Nurses made a total of nine contacts, five in person and four by telephone, over 16 weeks. Centers for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) and a symptom inventory were used. Medical record audits were conducted retrospectively.
Main Research Variables: Patient and caregiver depression scores and patient symptom experience.
Findings: Baseline caregiver depression and the number of patient symptoms at baseline, 9, and 24 weeks were significant predictors of caregiver depression at 9 and 24 weeks. However, no main effect of the experimental condition existed on caregiver depression. At the final observation, a nonsignificant inverse relationship was found between the number of interventions and depression scores for caregivers.
Conclusions: The intervention appeared to be more effective in slowing the rate of deterioration of depressive symptoms than in decreasing levels of depression in this sample of caregivers. Determining the effectiveness of this intervention in decreasing caregiver depression was difficult because caregivers with higher levels of depression were more likely to withdraw from the study.
Implications for Nursing Practice: Nurses must be vigilant in monitoring caregivers for signs of depression and must intervene to provide emotional support and make appropriate referrals for follow-up care to promote positive outcomes for patients and caregivers.

Wigg, William Frederick (1821- 1883)
William and Januaria (Genuaria) Wigg lived at the Grange, Grange Hill from about 1863 until 1883. William was born in 1812 in Liverpool, Lancashire to John and Martha, nee Clayton, Wigg. Genuaria Irmain was born in Buenos Aries, Argentina in about 1827. William was a merchant trading with Brazil where he may have met Genuaria. He Married Genuaria, whose Anglicised name was firstly Jenny and later Januaria, in 1849 and they had seven children; Edward James 1842, Elvira Elizabeth 1855, Celia Louisa 1857-1883, Adelina Jenny 1859 and William Frederick Jarmain 1862, Albert Stuart 1863 and Henry Frias 1865 .
Januaria died from diseased kidneys 13 March 1874 and was buried in her son’s grave in All Saints churchyard. This resulted in the Vicar, the Rev James Watson, and his Sexton, Mr W Thornton, being charged with the act of ‘Illegal Interment’. It was claimed that as the churchyard had been closed, except for burials in existing family vaults and as Mr Wigg only had his son and wife buried there he had no interest in the churchyard whatever! Sadly Henry Frias Wigg had died aged only three months18 March 1874 and was buried and after due consideration of the evidence the Bench took the contrary view and dismissed the summons with costs.
Interestingly the burial records contain no reference to Henry’s internment, only Januaria’s on 19 March the day after the death of her son. Both names along with Henry Frias 1874, Januaria 1874, William Frederick 1883, Celia Louisa 1883 and Elvira Elizabeth 1937 are recorded on the family vault. William died in a diabetic coma in October 1883.
Rev James Watson had the pleasure, in 1889, of officiating at the marriage of William Frederick junior and Rosina Augusta Eleanor Maud Reeves, daughter of John Sims Reeves, vocalist, of Grange Mount, Beulah Hill. Albert Stuart married Annie Louisa Dee in August 1886 at the Holy Trinity church in Selhurst.

Description of the Book:
Reverie Noun A state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream. (Oxford Languages) This short book of twenty poems was created as part of a twenty-day writing challenge. Each of these poems were penned in a single day, one after another. There were no prescribed themes nor categories; as a result they are rather sporadic and share no common link. Some poems are based on past or present experiences, where others are simply musings or interpretations.
Author's Name: Jayce D. Rushton About the Author: Jayce Rushton was born in Melbourne, Australia. Since then, he has lived in a number of different locations around Australia, both urban and regional. Currently studying mathematics and psychology at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Jayce enjoys writing and financial trading in his spare time. Although he has had individual poems and short stories published previously through competitions, The Reverie is his first work written for professional publishing.

Poet & Literary Composition Journalist
about open public personality. Eminem, like other performers, particularly poets and lyricists, create an undesirable representative that they are adverse, spectacular, and quite often violent. Is that which Marshall Mathers is definitely? Or is that merely precisely what they publishes about? Whether or not it’s perhaps not which he’s, really does he or she possess right to prepare songs about it? After all, it somewhat looks bogus.
Thing is definitely, so long as you evaluated me personally over at my art by itself, specifically the poetry, you’d end up being convinced I’m sex-starved and suicidal.
You’ll staying happy to see I’m neither of the factors. *Cheshire kitten grin* extremely what’s the sale?
If you’re a painter, a person likely really know what the sale is actually, even though you’ve never place it into terminology. But then, needless to say that you have. Just in case maybe not, you’ve place it into symbolism. Find it. Dark-colored imaginative perform doesn’t even a dark person. Dark-colored feelings? Most likely.
Very spend time. Let’s chatting for a short time.
There’s two Me’s. Well, actually there are roughly eight Me’s, but let’s not just complex factors. The very first myself happens to be a cultural, cheerful, stronger wife who could run quite a few anyone out-of problem without breakage a-sweat. Next me personally was a somber, innovative, fine hermit, broken with the smallest denial.
There’s a spot around for corners of myself. But there are certainly explanations we try to get initial practically in most of our organization and private dealings. She is a pleasing individual staying across. She becomes points prepared. She’s quicker to love. And she likes living.
However, suppressing the next would simply be harmful to personally among others throughout my living due to the fact, without a good spot to are present, she’ll back the girl hideous head at the most inopportune occasion.
Thus, a power outlet .
There are plenty of various other channels—sports, serious equipment, work out, consuming, etc. Simple store of preference only happens to be imaginative. Actually, in all honesty, sometimes it’s diet. But I’m concentrating on that.
If you get just what I’m writing about and they are hunting for ways to greater coordinate both of them halves of any psyche, sign up with myself on…
We possess snacks. How come you think that you are feeling very ashamed for those who consume them? ??
Striking openings in walls, ripping your very own friend’s brain off over anything dumb, and self-destructive manners (diet imbalance, inorganic habits, self-sabotage) are usually great signs you’re certainly not dealing with your own dark part very well.
Let’s check if you can channel that bad power chicas escort Corpus Christi TX into a safe put. For the sake of this particular article, I’ll focus on poetry because it can be practiced anywhere and does not call for high priced offers, unlike different creative outlets like artwork and taking pictures.
I normally incorporate among the many two soon after methods.
If a thing happens to be annoying me personally, bothersome inside my conscience, or disturbing simple opinion all too often the whole day, it takes a good place to escape. And so I begin by finding out exactly what the issue is (if it’sn’t blatantly apparent). Let’s talk about I believe harm .
Pain a lot also extensive of a subject matter to generate whatever is not cliche. We must become further. I’ll still question myself query (like a therapist may) until I smack the flaming beautiful middle associated with issue.
Heed me personally on this particular exercises:
Exactly why do I feel hurt? My own commitment with a person isn’t moving the way I was thinking it might
What’s different regarding this? I thought We possibly could believe him.
The reasons why dont an individual faith your? The man started off therefore pleasing. These days he’s particular cunning.
Pushy in what? Physical affection.
Just how happens to be he or she pushy? This individual just…expects they. Like We are obligated to repay him or her.
How does which make you’re feeling? Like a slut.
hurt > lack of confidence > intimately cunning > blames me personally > slut-shamed
This interior debate may occur within mere seconds or it might capture nights. After I’ve simplified the original feelings into anything much more definable, we permit the principle to tumble around my thoughts for some more of their time or days.
I’ll finish up with odds and ends joining together slowly. At times I publish these people out so I don’t shed them approximately they dont keep me all the way up at nighttime. Some days, particularly if these people establish rapidly, they generally do okay inside my head.
Any time I’ve received enough components to use, I take a seat and compose it, like edits, until it’s prepared talk about. This is how focus can help. Publish your own odds and ends down, change them, link these people, change terms look for greater ones (there’s no shame in making use of a thesaurus!) and don’t end until it’s performed.
Properly, dang. Which was a bit…intense. You’re thought, “Is that really precisely what the man believed?” The solution is no. The guy believed a lot of things think its great as a result it’s definitely not remote.
Consequently the reasons why the crisis?

Our barometer survey is run each year to find out how doctors’ experiences of practising in the UK are changing over time. It is a key source of evidence for our report into The state of medical education and practice in the UK.
Here, Francis Leng, Research Manager at the GMC, talks about how the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affected the survey and informed this year’s report.
This has been a year like no other for the doctors in our health services, with the pandemic impacting every aspect of how they work and train.
Our report into The state of medical education and practice includes a snapshot of doctors’ experiences during the spring peak of the pandemic. It shows that although its effects have been felt universally, doctors’ experiences have been far from uniform, with the challenges and pressures they face varying depending on a range of factors.
The barometer survey is one of the key pieces of data that informs the report. It tracks doctors’ experiences of practising in the UK so we can see how the have changed over time.
A unique insight
We’re always conscious of striking a balance between gathering doctors’ views and taking up too much of their already stretched time. That’s why we thought very carefully and spoke to stakeholders about whether running the survey this year was the right thing to do.
Their unanimous feedback was that the survey should go ahead in an adapted form, as it was important to gather doctors’ views during this unique time. Within the survey we directly asked the profession about the pandemic, including a whole new section of questions to explore how doctors’ day-to-day roles have changed. But we also kept a core set of tracking questions, that will allow us to continue to understand trends in doctors’ wider experiences, wellbeing and career intentions.
We commissioned research agency IFF to conduct the research. A sample of 31,000 doctors were invited to take part in the online survey. This was followed by a ‘snowballing’ exercise and a healthcare professional research panel to boost the response from younger doctors and doctors in training.
More than 3,600 doctors completed the survey between 15 June – 19 July 2020. To make sure the findings were representative, weighting was applied using GMC population data on age, registration status, ethnicity and place of primary medical qualification.
The findings provide a fascinating insight into doctors’ experiences during the spring peak of the pandemic and the huge impact it’s had on their day-to-day working lives.
Four fifths (81%) reported that the changes to their work were significant, and four in ten (42%) were redeployed. Doctors reported their work had changed in many ways, from the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), to dealing with the technological and personal challenges of providing remote care.
The findings highlighted some clear areas for concern. A third of doctors felt that the pandemic negatively impacted their mental health and wellbeing, and an even higher proportion said training and development opportunities had reduced. Almost half of doctors (43%) reported situations where their own or a colleague’s safety was at risk during 2020.
But doctors also experienced positive changes across several areas of their work, and many told us there are positive lessons that can be taken from the spring peak. They reported better teamworking and increased opportunities to share knowledge, and this year fewer said they were struggling with high workloads and burnout.
There is of course a wider story to consider here. It’s likely the cancellation of non-urgent care contributed towards reduced workloads. This has affected patient access to care and doctors have stated concerns about the impact this could have on workload in the future.
In the face of a pandemic, our health services have had to adapt. They’ve shown great flexibility and innovation. But, its impact will be felt for many years to come, with the lasting effects on patients and healthcare staff still unknown.
At the GMC, the data we collect underpins all the work we do. On its own, this year’s barometer findings have captured a unique moment in time. But, they will form part of an ongoing analysis that will track the full impact of the pandemic over the coming years, providing the evidence base we will need to support both doctors and patients as we face the future together.

The Furniture of Nathan Lumbard and His Circle
Imprint: Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library
When the inscription “Made by Nathan Lumbard Apl 20th 1800” was found in the late 1980s on a chest of drawers, the identity of an unknown craftsman suddenly surfaced. Crafting Excellence introduces the striking achievements of cabinetmaker Nathan Lumbard (1777−1847) and a small group of craftsmen associated with him. Working initially in the village of Sturbridge, Massachusetts, these artisans fashioned an array of objects that rank among the most colorful and creative of Federal America. Recent scholarship has revealed Lumbard’s connection with the cabinetmaker Oliver Wight, from whom he likely learned his trade and gained an understanding of neoclassicism. Careful study of objects linked to Lumbard, Wight, and nearby artisans has produced a framework for identifying their work. The discovery of Lumbard’s name three decades ago led the authors on a pioneering journey, culminating in this handsome volume, an insightful contribution to American furniture history.

Recently, I had the opportunity to connect with my cousins who are Morehouse men from different generations. Given the difference in time when attending Morehouse, they all provided unique perspectives of policy changes at the institution over the years. One particular policy change that sparked much conversation was Morehouse College’s recent transgender policy. Morehouse College’s transgender policy comes seven years after their appropriate attire policy. The policy covers the dress code norms regarding what should be worn and who can wear specific types of clothing.
As a graduate of multiple historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), I have seen first-hand the high regard HBCUs hold themselves to regarding diversity and support of educating the next generation of African-American men and women. HBCUs play a critical role in providing social environments and experiences that promote diverse student populations. Unfortunately, when we talk about diversity, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) students are often excluded from the conversation. The gaps in federal educational policy and a lack of institutional policy fails to address queer issues and leaves college students that identify as Queer unprotected from discrimination.
Traditionally, HBCUs have been places that nurture students and promote diversity. However, when it comes to embracing LGBTQ students, many HBCUs fall short of identifying the best ways to be inclusive on campus. HBCUs have a reputation for being conservative places. Many HBCUs were founded through alignment with religious entities which have deterred HBCUs from engaging in conversations around LGBTQ issues or adopting policies to further ensure students are not discriminated against.
The Campus Pride HBCU Clearinghouse, provides the most up-to-date resources for HBCUs. The website highlights the core policies and program that will help a HBCU determine where they are in terms of LGBTQ-inclusive policies, programs and practices. Georgia has 10 HBCUs across the state, nine out of the 10 meets at least one of the 14 criteria on the Campus Pride LGBTQ Checklist. Campus Pride has also been recommended by researchers who suggest that higher education institutions should use to determine where colleges stand in regard to inclusivity and anti-discriminatory policies.
When reviewing the Campus Pride database, Morehouse College made their Dean’s list, meeting 7 out of the 14 criteria which includes: an active LGBTQ student organization, an ally program or safe space, and a special lavender or rainbow graduation ceremony, just to name a few. After visiting the Morehouse College website their transgender policy was accessible, however information about their student support resources regarding their student organizations and safe spaces were inaccessible for a prospective student that aspire to be Morehouse Men. The steps HBCUs are taking to protect students from discrimination while on campus, is subtle and needs to be intentionally woven into the campus culture, and publicly accessible. Unfortunately, this information could not be found on the Morehouse College website.
Due to the historical stigmatizing of LGBTQ students, there needs to be policy recommendations that will address the lack of inclusivity and educational policy that protect college students within the LGBTQ HBCU community in Georgia.
It is important for Morehouse College to promote their inclusive program and resources that support queer students and share how they have been implemented. This would provide clarity of any concerns regarding policies that prevent discrimination and promote inclusivity amongst the student population as well as a case study for other colleges.
HBCUs employ faculty and staff from many different generations. Due to the generational divide it’s important faculty and staff are exposed to mandatory training on gender identify and expression. This training should also be woven into student orientation and student events to augment their understanding and acceptance of gender diversity. These training and inclusion in programming will ensure nondiscriminatory policies and practices are implemented effectively. Change is hard but necessary when it comes to providing Black students with the best education and experience achievable.
Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, the sixth president of Morehouse College, encouraged students to generate and challenge ideas, which promoted freedom of expression, therefore developing future leaders. As an advocate for students and empowering them to make positive change, it is important for me to highlight the importance of institutional policies that are inclusive of all the students that colleges and universities serve. Regardless of a student’s innate gender identity, HBCUs should keep with their legacy of race uplift, calling out discrimination, and provide an inclusive campus environment for all their students. I am so happy that Morehouse is moving in this direction.

Interventions designed to increase women’s cultural fit can also create a better working environment for everyone.
Gender imbalance in the workplace is not confined to the gender pay gap or number of women vs. men in senior leadership positions. It also has to do with subtler yet deeper cultural cues about who belongs and who doesn’t. For the most part, organisational cultures do not yet meet the needs of a gender-balanced workforce. Not only do mental models of brilliance and leadership mostly skew male, but policies and practices are also largely holdovers from an era when male-dominated professional contexts were unquestionably normative. Expected to “prove themselves” within a system that holds them to double standards, women often justifiably feel set up to fail. As a result, too many women burn out or second-guess their own suitability for leadership roles. The underutilisation and departure of valuable female talent come at a heavy cost to companies.
The second annual Women at Work conference, held in March on INSEAD’s Asia campus in Singapore, featured a session of research talks titled “Visibility & Fit”, which explored actions organisations can take to address this problem. The presenters’ research-based insights suggest that proactively developing gender balance is critical to organisations evolving with the times. It is also a priceless opportunity to nurture leaders in a way that benefits everyone, just when the race for top talent is intensifying globally.
Biased beliefs about what professional roles women fit are deeply embedded in decision making. Unconscious gender bias can affect our split-second sensory responses to another person.
UCLA Professor Kerri L. Johnson presented findings from her research on visual representation and gender fit. Johnson focused primarily on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, where stable and well-paid jobs are expected to be increasingly concentrated in the coming years. In this STEM context, women are dramatically underrepresented around the world.
When Johnson and her team showed study participants images of men and women and asked which were likely to be in a STEM career vs. non-STEM (or administrative assistants in STEM firms), men were assumed far more often to have STEM careers. This confirmed the prevalence of the assumption that STEM is a place for men.
Beyond this, there is a more surprising finding. When Johnson’s team displayed faces of men and women that ranged widely in gender typicality, or the extent to which they looked masculine or feminine, she found that the masculinity or femininity of the face significantly predicted perceived suitability for STEM within genders as well. More masculine-looking men were judged more likely to work and succeed in STEM than men with less masculine appearance. Women with very feminine faces were seen as less STEM-worthy than those with less feminine facial features.
For organisations, having a diverse group of role models – in terms of gender, appearance and occupational role – can revise people’s automatic assumptions and associations regarding gender and competence. There is robust research evidence that “changing exemplars changes the evaluations we make of other people”, Johnson said.
Numerical representation is obviously crucial as well. Gender diversity in currently male-dominated fields such as STEM and top business management will eventually become normalised when it is more common. That is one argument for gender quotas, such as Germany’s and Malaysia’s requirements of 30 percent female representation on supervisory boards of public companies and California’s mandate that women hold at least 40 percent of directorships on listed companies by 2021.
Through quotas, advocates hope to create opportunities for women aspiring to lead and also encourage women to aim higher than they otherwise would. However, Christa Nater, a PhD candidate at the University of Bern, has found that the way quotas work is hardly that simple.
Nater conducted a study with her collaborator and session discussant, Professor Sabine Sczesny, also from the University of Bern. In it, male and female management students read one of four different versions of mock job ads for leadership positions.
One ad didn’t mention gender. Another described a policy of preferential hiring with a 40 percent gender quota. One ad explicitly invited “qualified women” to apply. A fourth ad mentioned preferential policies for “equally qualified women” with no quota. Only this last ad changed how women saw themselves in relation to the position advertised. The authors concluded that granting women preferential treatment in hiring works best when requirements other than gender are also emphasised. When women feel that their gender may simply be an additional asset on top of their skills and abilities, rather than (as is usually the case) a liability, they can be more motivated to strive for leadership positions.
The authors also noted that when women are made to feel that their gender constitutes the core of their advantage – as can be the danger with quotas – the encouragement effect in the study above was basically nil. Additional studies compared management students’ leadership aspirations after reviewing a corporate website featuring a story about a merit-based woman leader, a quota-based woman leader (with and without later success), or no information about a female leader (control group). The merit-based description boosted women’s interest in leadership positions relative to the control group, with no effect on the men. The quota description without later success, on the other hand, did not increase women’s aspiration, and reduced that of men. The quota effects were improved when the leader was subsequently successful in her role. Men’s aspirations were not reduced and women aspirations were increased, despite the leader’s initial selection based on a quota.
The answer, Nater said, is not to dispense with quotas, but rather to ensure that qualifications and performance are communicated as crucial selection criteria, especially when quotas or similar mandates are implemented. For example, one way to effectively signal the qualifications of women would be to explicitly communicate the use of “merit-based quotas”.
Fitting in is a fraught concept for women with working lives across multiple cultures. They have learned to understand and benefit from the challenges and opportunities of standing out in a cultural context. INSEAD Organisational Behaviour Emeritus Professor Linda Brimm has done years of research following professionals (of both genders) with hybrid cultural identities, whom she calls “Global Cosmopolitans”.
Multinational employers can misunderstand these professionals and categorise them narrowly as mobile game pieces to be shifted around the global chessboard. But Brimm says they have much more than their mobility to offer organisations. They possess a problem-solving skillset and a change-ready mindset, derived from a long history of cross-cultural bridge-building.
Each move can feel like creating a new chapter in a life story, and this can involve a decision to return to a place called home. This choice can be particularly difficult for women, highlighting the difference between their global perspective and the local perspective back home. Brimm told the story of a woman with Korean heritage whose repatriation left her feeling like an anomaly, as an unmarried non-mother in her thirties. Yet the pull of family and passion to make a difference gave her the motivation to turn this challenge into an opportunity.
When they want to position themselves for high-level leadership, Global Cosmopolitans can count on their ability to effectively communicate what they bring to the table. And leaders can enable dialogue with Global Cosmopolitans, value their difference and convey their value. Brimm says, “Organisations that confine executives by limiting their ability to see who they are and who they can be will lose key players unless they are able to listen and learn.”
Working from home
As workplaces continue to evolve, the need for knowledge workers to come into the office every day is increasingly scrutinised. Yet a certain amount of conspicuous facetime is still considered essential for aspiring leaders. For women, who even in relatively egalitarian contexts are doing most of the management of the home, housework and childcare, this obligation creates constant tensions between work and family life.
Some organisations have tried to address the problem by introducing flexible working options, such as job sharing, compressed work-weeks and reduced working hours with pro-rated pay. But research shows that women (and it is almost solely women) who adopt flexi-work suffer significant career penalties for appearing to back away from work commitments. Evidence suggests working women are aware of this and often feel compelled to reject flexi-work as a consequence.
Professor Eliot Sherman of London Business School recently explored a potential alternative. Partnering with a life sciences company based in the U.K., he launched a four-week experiment whereby employees could work remotely as much as they wanted during randomly assigned weeks. Unlike formalised flexi-work, men and women (both parents and non-parents) chose to work remotely about two days per week. According to surveys completed by all employees after each week, working from home had no effect on the total number of hours worked, compared to in-office weeks. However, the vast majority of employees felt that they were more productive when they were allowed to work remotely at their discretion. This effect was largest for mothers, who also experienced a meaningful reduction in conflict between work and family demands.
According to employees that Sherman subsequently interviewed, working from home helped mainly by restoring time that would otherwise be spent commuting (many mothers’ commutes are lengthened by school pick-ups and drop-offs), avoiding the social distractions that are rife in office environments, and allowing people to catch up on sleep. These interviews also suggested that employees did not wish to work remotely for more than a few days per week, due to concerns about social isolation.
With broad appeal and especially positive impacts for working mothers, the success of discretionary remote working in Sherman’s context suggests that solutions that improve gender balance can also improve working lives for everyone.
Interventions to explore
The above research points to some possible interventions for resolving conflicts between women’s gender and working identities, so that they can fully contribute to their organisations and receive commensurate recognition. The big takeaway is that organisations would benefit by implementing interventions that target women’s obstacles and concerns, without over-emphasising gender in ways that call attention to gender differences or solidify gender stereotypes.

Pirates of the Arabian
Lawrence Rutkowski on negotiating with men holding AK-47s
Published in 2009 New York Metro Super Lawyers magazine
on September 24, 2009
Updated on September 25, 2009
“Up until a few short months ago, my idea of a pirate was Johnny Depp,” says Lawrence Rutkowski, the 56-year-old head of Seward & Kissel’s transportation finance practice.
That changed last Thanksgiving evening when Rutkowski received a phone call from James Christodoulou, the CEO of Industrial Shipping Enterprises Corp. (ISEC), for whom Rutkowski acts as general counsel. It seemed an ISEC vessel, the Biscaglia, and its crew of 28, had been hijacked by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden, and there was a ransom demand.
The first priority, Rutkowski says, was getting the crew out safely. But he notes the number of legal issues that arose during negotiations.
“You have to be mindful of the fact that the decisions you’re making affect other people’s assets as well,” he says. “If we divert freshwater use from keeping the cargo warm—which, in this case, was palm oil—to crew use, because there was limited access to potable water, what does that mean in terms of responsibility to the cargo owner?”
Then there’s insurance. Does it cover, say, damage to the ship caused by a decision you’ve made in order to save the crew?
Don’t forget the banks. “This vessel,” explains Rutkowski, “like 99 percent of the vessels that ply the waters in trade, was mortgaged, so the bank had to be kept abreast. They had to consent to have certain payments made”—although, he adds, funding a ransom is “one thing the banks aren’t going to do.”
Finally, says Rutkowski, “If we agree to pay a ransom, are we violating any U.S. law? This was the first U.S.-based company to have a vessel hijacked,” so Rutkowski was, shall we say, navigating uncharted waters.
“The U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control has a whole series of prohibitions that relate to North Korea, to Cuba, to Iran, and other countries as well, to make sure money doesn’t flow to people who are on the designated bad list. But the pirates didn’t fall into any of those categories because they hadn’t yet made the watch list.”
The ISEC crisis management team operated out of a room in the Sheraton Hotel in Weehawken, N.J. While Christodoulou spoke on the phone with the two pirate negotiators—Abbas and Hussein, both of whom, Rutkowski reports, spoke “reasonably fluent English”—Rutkowski and his fellow team members whizzed BlackBerry messages back and forth.
Of the ransom, Rutkowski says, “We can’t divulge the amount. But it had to be, without breaking any money-laundering laws, converted to cash and parachuted in to the pirates.”
Which raises the question: Why didn’t the Navy intervene—as it did spectacularly in the April 2009 hijacking?
“One of the key differences,” explains Rutkowski, “was that the Maersk Alabama involved a U.S.-flagged ship with a U.S. crew on a U.S. aid mission. The Navy had a legal right to do anything they wanted to do. Our vessel was crewed by Bangladeshis and Indians, and it flew the flag of the Republic of Liberia. Not only was the U.S. Navy not nearby, but there was no clear legal jurisdiction for it to intervene.”
Even so, it all worked out. “[The pirates] left the vessel and its crew and the vessel set sail to Salalah,” Rutkowski says. “The pirates faded back into the Somali coastline.”
And Rutkowski experienced a new aspect of lawyering. “It was the first time we’ve ever had to negotiate with someone that had an AK-47 in their hands,” he says.

NHARPC CORNER: Your Community Adopted an Updated Hazard Mitigation Plan – Now What?
Municipal Hazard Mitigation Plans (Plan) are developed and approved every five years to help protect people, property, and infrastructure from natural hazards and severe weather events. Most Plans consider several human and technological hazards too. Regional planning commissions (RPCs) offer Plan updating services to their communities and work with local Hazard Mitigation Committees (HMC) to complete the updated Plan cooperatively using federal funding and local in-kind match. RPCs regularly communicate with the NH Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (NH HSEM) to understand the content needed for the local Plan update. Once a community has a new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) approved Plan in hand for the next five years, what should be done with the Plan?
Implementation is the greatest opportunity a Hazard Mitigation Plan can offer, yet this important step is the one most often skipped during the Plan’s lifecycle. Proactive planning can be difficult when responding to the immediate needs of the community first, but Plan implementation can become part of the municipal services. Reasons why the Plan should be implemented include:
- Federal Grants. Projects listed in the Plan often require funding the municipality may not be able to raise. With an updated Plan, the community can access several FEMA grants that can help pay for most of certain projects. Eligible Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) grant programs requiring an active Plan can change every few years. FEMA has a brochure online describing their HMA programs and types of eligible projects at https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/documents/fema_hma-trifold_2021.pdf.
- Funding Leverage. Once a mitigation project is identified in the Plan, the project can be considered by many departments, boards, or committees within their budgets and planning processes. A single project identified to solve a problem in the community which is listed in multiple long-term planning documents may get more attention and consideration by state, local or non-profit funding programs because it has more community support and added value.
- Hazard Mitigation Committee (HMC). Yes, the Hazard Mitigation Committee just completed months of work to produce an updated Plan and folks are weary. The HMC probably includes representatives and staff from the Planning Board; Fire and Rescue, Police, and Highway Departments; Town Administration; Library; Conservation, Energy, and Recreation Commissions; Board of Selectmen; interested residents; business representatives; and others. However, this team offers the perfect grouping to share progress on mitigation projects, discuss other mitigation initiatives, locate funding, and collaborate to get the work done. Keep the HMC going after the Plan is completed and give yourselves a three-month breather after the Plan is approved by NH HSEM and FEMA before starting implementation meetings.
- Completed Mitigation Projects = A Safer Community. The main purpose of the Plan is to identify projects to correct long-term vulnerabilities to natural hazard events. Some of these could be partly fundable through federal HMA grants. Projects could include:
- Planning regulation & ordinance revisions. Example: Revise the subdivision and site plan review regulations to require road elevation and/or more than one egress for new developments to reduce safety risks from wildfire, winter, and wind/tropical events.
- Structural projects. Example: Upgrade culverts for better stormwater drainage to reduce the impacts of flood and erosion and to prevent washouts and overtopping.
- Natural systems protection. Example: Encourage tree plantings around buildings and to shade parking lots to reduce the effects of drought.
- Public education. Example: Encourage residents to sign up for CodeRed to reduce potential injuries from severe weather events through preventative notification.
The first steps to implementing a fresh Hazard Mitigation Plan can be daunting, but the HMC already has their tools in place to succeed. The HMC should meet about four times per year to complete a rolling list of annual tasks to update and implement the most important Plan sections:
- Document new hazard events that occurred in your community to continue the history of impacts.
- Coordinate annual completion of active priority mitigation projects (Short Term 1-2 Year and Ongoing actions) by assigning to the responsible department or board.
- Ensure the department/board seeks funding for mitigation projects or provides staffing support to complete the priority actions.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the Plan each year and hold onto the notes. This FEMA suggestion can help the HMC determine what needs to be improved in the five-year update.
- Obtain a verbal account or written progress report on the status of each priority mitigation project and document the results.
- Work on certain Plan sections: update the Mitigation Action Plan, reprioritize actions, and review impactful hazards for the current year. Be sure to retain the revised digital Plan revision files for the following year(s) and the next five-year Plan update.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to your local regional planning commission to ask about implementing your municipal Hazard Mitigation Plan. After all, they likely assisted your community with its development. Contact information for all RPCs can be found at https://www.nharpc.org. Currently, eligible communities are beginning to update their Plans through the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) 2020 grant.
Stephanie Alexander is Senior Planner with the Central NH Regional Planning Commission (CNHRPC). She can be reached by phone at 603.226.6020 or via email at email@example.com.

Current treatment of severe malaria and associated cerebral malaria (CM) and respiratory distress syndromes are directed primarily at the parasite. Targeting the parasite has only partial efficacy in advanced infection, as neurological damage and respiratory distress are due to accumulation of host blood cells in the brain microvasculature and lung interstitium. Here, computational analysis identifies Ly6Clo monocytes as a major component of the immune infiltrate in both organs in a preclinical mouse model. Specifically targeting Ly6Clo monocyte precursors, identified by adoptive transfer, with immune-modifying particles (IMP) prevents experimental CM (ECM) in 50% of Plasmodium berghei ANKA-infected mice in early treatment protocols. Furthermore, treatment at onset of clinical ECM with 2 doses of a novel combination of IMP and anti-malarial drug artesunate results in 88% survival. This combination confers protection against ECM and mortality in late stage severe experimental malaria and provides a viable advance on current treatment regimens.
Severe malaria is almost exclusively caused by the mosquito-borne parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Recent WHO estimates indicate 212 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2015, with 429,000 individuals dying from severe malaria1. Severe malaria comprises a constellation of serious complications, including cerebral malaria (CM), respiratory distress (RD), severe malarial anaemia and metabolic abnormalities. CM is associated with cerebral blood vessel occlusion by adherent, parasitised red blood cells (pRBC), platelets and leucocytes. This results in focal areas of brain ischaemia that progress to blood–brain barrier breakdown and vascular leakage, causing delirium, seizures and coma in patients2,3,4. Similar vascular involvement in the lungs results in blood vessel leakage and interstitial leucocyte accumulation, leading to malaria-associated RD and acute respiratory decompensation5. Both syndromes are in most cases lethal without treatment.
Current malaria treatments almost exclusively target the parasite. The WHO-recommended treatment for severe malaria is parenteral artesunate for 24 h, followed by 2 days of artemisinin-based combination therapy6,7. However, overall mortality on this regime remains 10–20% and is projected to increase with the spread of artemisinin-resistant parasites8,9. Adjunct immunomodulatory treatment approaches in RD and CM syndromes do not specifically target causative cellular mediators and to date have not been successful in ameliorating disease10.
Intravascular sequestration of monocytes has been identified in both human CM2,3,11 and mouse experimental CM (ECM)12 and these cells are a major source of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines in CM pathogenesis. The pathological involvement of these cells is emphasised by the abrogation of the syndrome in Plasmodium berghei-ANKA (PbA)-infected mice after global monocyte/macrophage depletion by clodronate liposomes13 or reduced inflammatory monocyte recruitment by anti-CCR2 antibody14. CCR2−knockout mice have reduced monocyte accumulation and pathology in a murine model of RD15. However, these approaches are only effective at or prior to the time of inoculation, which is an unrealistic timeframe for clinical application.
We have previously demonstrated that immune-modifying particles (IMP) selectively modulate circulating inflammatory Ly6Chi monocytes in a variety of diseases without impeding the development of a robust immune response16. Monocytes phagocytosing IMP in the bloodstream are sequestered in the spleen and thus prevented from migrating to inflammatory foci. In a murine model of West Nile virus encephalitis, in which the accumulation of Ly6Chi monocytes in the brain is uniformly lethal, IMP treatment was more effective than clodronate or anti-CCL2 antibody treatment17. Importantly, abrogation of encephalitis was achieved when IMP were administered after development of clinical signs16.
Here, we use computational analysis to separate Ly6Clo monocytes from microglia and identify them as a novel major subset associated with pathology in both the brain vasculature and lungs in severe malaria. The importance of monocytes in severe malaria is supported by the efficacy of IMP treatment in early infection in a lethal preclinical murine ECM model. The use of a directed immune-modulatory approach in severe malaria is novel, and combined with anti-parasitic artesunate, rescues nearly 90% of mice presenting with neurological symptoms, as well as abrogating RD in the lung.
Ly6Clo monocytes are the main subset in vasculature during ECM
CM develops as a result of accumulating parasitised RBC, platelets and leucocytes causing vascular occlusion in the brain3. We investigated this immune-mediated pathology in a preclinical mouse model of ECM, which reproduces more than 25 clinical, biochemical, pathophysiological, histopathological and immunological features of human disease18,19,20,21. The brains of mice at the time of clinical ECM on d8 after PbA inoculation, with a mean clinical score of 3.4, were analysed by flow cytometry. This showed that CD11b+ cells constituted ~80% of accumulating leucocytes in the brain vasculature, while T cells, B cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells and natural killer cells were numerically minor populations (Fig. 1a) (gating shown in Supplementary Fig. 1). Clustering analysis using t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (tSNE) was applied to further characterise the numerically major CD11b+ population in the brain. This analysis creates a two-dimensional figure in which the position of each cell is determined by its relation to other cells, based on the expression of fluorescence and scatter markers in multi-dimensional flow cytometric analysis22. This results in the discrete grouping of cells with similar expression patterns. Analysis of the CD11b+ population from the brains of mock-infected and PbA-infected mice on d8 p.i. by tSNE consistently showed three distinct subpopulations (Fig. 1b), while manual gating only resolved two (Supplementary Fig. 1A). To characterise these three populations, their expression of relevant markers was compared by representing the tSNE output as an expression heat map (Fig. 1c). Low expression of Ly6C, CD45 and CCR2, and high expression of CX3CR1, as observed on population 1, is consistent with a microglial phenotype, which is most prominent in mock-infected animals23,24. In contrast, cells in population 2 expressed high levels of Ly6C, CD45 and CCR2, and low levels of CX3CR1, consistent with a BM-derived inflammatory monocyte phenotype more obvious in PbA-infected mice24,25. Population 3 expressed low levels of Ly6C and high levels of CX3CR1, with intermediate expression of CCR2 and CD45 and was also more prominent in PbA-infected mice. Although Ly6Clo and CX3CR1hi expression is observed on microglia, this pattern is also found on Ly6Clo monocytes, and CX3CR1 expression on the latter is associated with ligand-mediated arrest on activated vascular endothelium26,27. The intermediate expression of both CD45, the pan-leucocyte marker, and CCR2, which is involved in BM egress, clearly separate these Ly6Clo cells from the microglial population and strongly suggest they are BM-derived rather than brain-resident cells. The expression of MHC-II and CD80 on populations 2 and 3 support a monocyte/macrophage phenotype and further distinguish them from the microglia in population 1, which exhibit lower expression of these markers. F4/80 expression, in combination with the above markers on populations 2 and 3 is consistent with a macrophage phenotype, but F4/80 expression has also been shown on microglia28. Thus, microglia (population 1) and Ly6Clo monocytes (population 3) are indistinguishable based on Ly6C, CX3CR1 or F4/80 expression (Fig. 1c and Supplementary Fig. 2), and minor differences in CD45 and CD11b expression are insufficient to separate these populations. Even the larger difference in CCR2 expression is insufficient to separate the populations fully on histogram or 2D plots. However, the inclusion of all markers in tSNE analysis allowed us to identify non-resident Ly6Clo monocytes as the most prevalent population in the ECM brain vasculature. To our knowledge, this is the first time this distinction has been shown in malaria.
Analysis by tSNE also reveals a small cluster of CD86+ cells between populations 2 and 3, that expresses slightly more CD45, Ly6C, CCR2, but less CX3CR1, than Ly6Clo monocytes (population 3), and may represent monocytes in transition from Ly6Chi to Ly6Clo.
In mock-infected mice, the brain was largely dominated by microglia (population 1), with small numbers of Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo monocytes (populations 2 and 3, Fig. 1d). In PbA-infected mice, Ly6Clo monocytes were by far the largest population, increasing to seven-fold that of microglia, while Ly6Chi monocytes had also increased significantly, compared to the mock-infected controls. We hypothesised that CD45int CCR2int Ly6Clo monocytes (population 3) accumulating in the brain vasculature were derived from CD45hi CCR2hi Ly6Chi inflammatory monocytes (population 2). The latter are recruited to sites of inflammation from the BM and can differentiate into Ly6Clo monocytes in both humans and mice29,30. To investigate this in our model, Ly6Chi monocytes were sorted from the BM of d8 p.i. PbA-infected mice (gating strategy shown in Supplementary Fig. 3), labelled with PKH26 and injected into a separate group of PbA-infected mice 12 or 24 h prior to endpoint disease. After 12 h, > 50% of PKH+ cells in the brain had acquired a Ly6Cint or Ly6Clo profile and by 24 h only 10% of transferred cells remained Ly6Chi (Fig. 1e). The slopes of the graphs indicate that there is a transition of expression from Ly6Chi to Ly6Cint cells in the first 12 h. This slows between 12 and 24 h, when increasing numbers of transferred cells acquire a Ly6Clo phenotype. This is reflected in the sharp decrease in Ly6C expression seen on the transferred cells by 24 h, which approach the levels observed on microglia (Fig. 1f).
Interstitial macrophages and Ly6Clo monocytes accumulate in RD
RD is a serious complication of severe malaria caused by pulmonary leucocyte accumulation5. In contrast to the brain, where cells are confined to the vascular lumen, in the lung they also extravasate into the interstitium31,32. Histologically, the majority of these cells have been identified as macrophage-like in both mice and humans32, however, more detailed subset analysis is lacking. Increased levels of protein in the lung are indicative of RD and found from d7 p.i. onwards33. Flow cytometric analysis on d8 p.i. confirmed the CD11b+ population makes up a large proportion of accumulating cells in the lung, although T cells also constitute a significant part of the infiltrate (Fig. 2a). We characterised the CD11b+ population, including alveolar macrophages, using a gating strategy previously described in a murine lung fibrosis model34 (Supplementary Fig. 4). We observed a significant increase in CD11b+ cell numbers, especially Ly6Clo monocytes (18-fold) and interstitial macrophages (14-fold) in PbA-infected mice, compared to mock-infected controls, while numbers of tissue-resident alveolar macrophages did not change significantly (Fig. 2b). These three populations were clearly distinguishable on tSNE analysis (Fig. 2c, inset). Alveolar and interstitial macrophages (populations 1 and 2, respectively) had a similar expression pattern of CD64, MHC-II, CD80 and CD86, indicating a macrophage phenotype. The higher expression of CCR2 and CD11b on interstitial macrophages suggests they originate from bone marrow, while alveolar macrophages have low expression of these markers and high expression of CD206, consistent with a tissue-resident phenotype35 (Fig. 2c). Ly6Clo monocytes (population 3) are CD11b+, indicating their myeloid origin, but they have relatively low expression of the other markers measured here (Fig. 2c). Similar to the brain, a small CD86+ cluster located between population 2 and 3 may represent transitioning cells.
Since Ly6Clo monocytes and interstitial macrophages are associated with acute inflammation in the lung34, we hypothesised they developed from BM-derived Ly6Chi monocytes, similar to the Ly6Clo monocytes in the ECM brain. Similar to the brain, Ly6C expression on adoptively transferred Ly6Chi monocytes was markedly reduced within 12 h, with ~70% of PKH+ cells identified as Ly6Cint and ~10% as Ly6Clo (Fig. 2d). At 24 h, the proportions of Ly6Cint and Ly6Chi cells were reduced, in favour of an increase in Ly6Clo cells. By 36 h, none of the transferred cells in the lung remained Ly6Chi and > 60% had become Ly6Clo, while Ly6Cint cell proportions were further reduced. Accordingly, histograms of the PKH+ populations show a reduction of Ly6C expression comparable to that in the brain (Fig. 2e). Further analysis of the PKH+ population revealed that by 12 h post-transfer ~80% of cells were identifiable as interstitial macrophages. This proportion was reduced by 36 h post-transfer, while Ly6Clo monocytes had increased (Fig. 2f). Thus, the differentiation of Ly6Chi monocytes to Ly6Cint and Ly6Clo subsets mirrors that in the brain vasculature.
IMP reduce monocyte infiltration and increase survival in ECM
To reduce the major accumulating monocyte populations in the brain vasculature and lung during severe malaria, we targeted precursor Ly6Chi monocytes in the bloodstream, prior to their arrival at sites of inflammation. We previously showed that uptake of immune-modifying particles (IMP) by circulating Ly6Chi monocytes results in their sequestration in the spleen, thereby reducing their accumulation at inflammatory sites16. Therefore, we administered IMP intravenously (i.v.) into PbA-infected mice daily for 7 days from d3 p.i., when monocyte sequestration is first detectable in the brain vasculature. IMP treatment resulted in 48% survival, while untreated mice uniformly succumbed to ECM (Fig. 3a). Surviving IMP-treated mice did not develop clinical signs of ECM, as reflected in the lower cumulative incidence of ECM, and the significantly lower average clinical score on d8 p.i., compared to untreated controls (Fig. 3b, c, respectively). Surviving IMP-treated mice were given three daily doses of quinine on d16–18 p.i. to abrogate the development of anaemia following the cerebral phase (Fig. 3a, arrows). Increased survival in IMP-treated, PbA-infected mice was associated with a dramatic reduction in numbers of Ly6Clo monocytes in the brain, with treatment reducing numbers almost to mock-levels (Fig. 3d). In the lung, numbers of Ly6Clo monocytes were also significantly reduced, with a smaller reduction in the numbers of interstitial macrophages (Fig. 3e). This was also associated with the accumulation of Ly6Chi monocytes in the spleen in IMP-treated animals (Supplementary Fig. 5). Histology of the brain vasculature showed that sequestration of RBC and leucocytes, invariably seen in PbA-infected mice, was markedly reduced in PbA-infected, IMP-treated mice (Fig. 3f). In the lungs of these mice, there was a marked reduction in the typical alveolar septal thickening associated with cellular infiltration (Fig. 3f). IMP treatment did not result in reduced parasitaemia (Fig. 3g). However, quinine treatment effectively cleared the parasite and IMP-treated mice subsequently survived for more than a year.
IMP and artesunate synergise to ameliorate overt ECM and RD
While the above confirms that inflammatory monocytes are a viable target in PbA infection, to apply this in a clinically relevant timeframe, we initiated treatment at the onset of clinical signs of disease. Since anti-parasite drug treatment was required following IMP-mediated survival, IMP treatment was combined with the anti-malarial drug, artesunate, as recommended for severe malaria by the WHO7. At the onset of ECM signs, as indicated by a clinical score of 2, between d6 and 8 p.i., a novel combination of artesunate and IMP was administered, with a second dose 24 h later. To ensure each treatment was initiated at the same stage of disease and minimise possible treatment bias, mice were allocated randomly and progressively to treatment groups as they exhibited ECM signs between d6 and d8 p.i. Combination treatment resulted in a survival rate of 88%, while artesunate or IMP treatment alone resulted in 56% and 10% survival, respectively (Fig. 4a).
The synergistic effect of combining artesunate and IMP treatment was evident in the lower cumulative incidence score and the reduced average clinical score on d8 p.i. (Fig. 4b, c). Interestingly, treatment combining IMP and chloroquine—an alternative anti-malarial therapy—also had a strong protective effect against ECM (Fig. 4d), despite the lower efficacy of chloroquine treatment alone, compared to artesunate, in both mice and humans36,37. As expected, mice treated with artesunate, alone or in combination with IMP, were able to clear the parasite, while mice treated only with IMP required three doses of artesunate to prevent anaemia and achieve long-term survival (Fig. 4e).
Cerebral pathology in mice and humans is also associated with increased numbers of MV, which are linked to increased cellular adhesion38,39. Blocking their release protects against CM40. Since monocytes are one of the main sources of MV during CM41, we investigated the effect of treatment on the number of plasma MV in these groups. Circulating MV numbers were significantly decreased in mice treated with IMP, either alone or in combination with artesunate, but not in mice treated with artesunate alone (Supplementary Fig. 6).
Histological examination of mice treated with artesunate and IMP in combination showed no evidence of cerebral haemorrhage and very little vascular cell sequestration on d8 p.i., in sharp contrast to the untreated controls (Fig. 5a). The few nucleated cells visible in the vessels of mock-infected and treated mice were endothelial cells, as indicated by their flattened nuclei, in contrast to the sequestered leucocytes visible in infected, untreated mice. Artesunate-treated mice also showed substantially reduced vascular occlusion, while there was less improvement in mice treated with IMP alone. Enumeration of the occluded vessels in the brains showed reduced occlusion in all treatment groups. This was statistically significant in the artesunate alone and combination treatment groups, but more pronounced in the latter (Fig. 5b). Consonant with this, flow cytometry showed vascular leucocyte accumulation was most reduced following combined artesunate and IMP treatment; numbers of Ly6Chi/int monocytes dropped from 1.70 × 105 to 0.68 × 105, while, strikingly, Ly6Clo monocytes were reduced by almost 5 × 105, i.e., from 7.3 × 105 to 2.5 × 105 (Fig. 5c). In the lungs, combination treatment was also most effective, producing the greatest reduction in interstitial thickening and cellular infiltrate, while separately, IMP or artesunate treatment alone reduced pathology somewhat (Fig. 6a). Artesunate treatment had no significant effect on the numbers of interstitial macrophages and Ly6Clo monocytes in the lung (Fig. 6b). Combination treatment, however, reduced numbers by ~50%. Treatment with IMP alone was excluded from this analysis, as survival numbers were low in this group. These findings correspond with the improvement in clinical signs in combination-treated mice and emphasise the pathological nature of monocyte accumulation in severe malaria.
Since these treatments abrogated ECM and afforded long-term survival, we rechallenged mice to assess their immunity to PbA. Remarkably, reinfection of survivors from both early treatment protocols (Fig. 3a) resulted in minimal clinical signs and parasitaemia and complete survival, compared to naïve PbA-infected mice (Supplementary Fig. 7A–C). Furthermore, mice surviving primary infection following late treatment with IMP, artesunate or a combination of both, all survived lethal dose rechallenge (Supplementary Fig. 7D). Overall, the addition of targeted immune-modulating treatment almost doubles the efficacy of existing anti-parasitic interventions in late stage disease.
Treatment of severe malaria is generally aimed at clearing the parasite, with artemisinin-based combination therapy the current recommended treatment approach7. Notwithstanding, there is significant patient mortality, especially in individuals treated late in clinical presentation6, and this is likely to rise with increasing parasite resistance8,9. While the presence of the parasite is clearly required for development of the syndrome, the dysregulated immune response crucially contributes to vascular occlusion in the brain and major leucocyte accumulation in the lung, resulting in lethality. We characterised the immune cell infiltrate to identify potential targets for immune-modulating therapy. Previously, accumulations of macrophage-like cells in the brain and lungs in severe malaria have been observed principally by histology. Here, cluster analysis of detailed phenotypic data specifically identifies Ly6Clo monocytes as the major population in the brain at peak disease, and clearly distinguishes them from microglia. Importantly, in the lung, cluster analysis also identified Ly6Clo monocytes as the major myeloid population, while interstitial macrophages were a separate substantial population. Our data suggest these cells are derived from Ly6Chi inflammatory monocytes originating in the bone marrow. Indeed, specifically targeting these cells with IMP markedly reduced monocyte accumulation in both organs and increased long-term survival with immunity to lethal rechallenge. Notably, administration of IMP in combination with anti-malarial compounds at the onset of clinical signs of severe malaria rescued almost 90% of PbA-infected mice, regardless of whether artesunate or chloroquine was used. Thus, we show that the combination of specific immune system-targeted and anti-parasitic therapy provides substantial advantage over either of these approaches alone. This also has potentially important implications for ongoing success of treatment in the face of increasing drug resistance of the malaria parasite.
An increase in CD11b+ cells in the brain has previously been observed in CM, however, the phenotype(s) of these cells have not been defined in detail. It has been suggested that CM results in significant microglial proliferation, with pathogenic involvement of these cells, which were identified as CX3CR1+ and Ly6Clo42. The additional parameters used in our study and analysed by tSNE enabled us to distinguish microglia from a separate population of Ly6Clo monocytes, despite their similar expression of CX3CR1 and Ly6C. This analysis reveals that microglial numbers do not change in ECM, while Ly6Clo monocytes accumulate intravascularly in large numbers. Previously, the accurate distinction between microglia and infiltrating Ly6Clo monocytes has relied on the use of reporter mice with fluorescent protein expression in BM-derived cells43. Recently, Tmem119 was identified as a novel marker uniquely expressed on microglia in mice and humans44, but in our hands did not give microglia-specific staining in this model of malaria.
We further showed that bone marrow-derived Ly6Chi monocytes become Ly6Clo monocytes in the brain vasculature. This is consistent with previous work showing Ly6Chi-to-Ly6Clo differentiation of monocytes in mice30,45 and equivalent populations in humans29. The accumulation of CX3CR1+Ly6Clo monocytes in ECM is likely mediated by binding to endothelial fractalkine, which is upregulated in response to TNF in severe malaria27,46,47. The reduced Ly6C and increased CX3CR1 expression on these cells aligns with previous work showing that monocytes accumulate in the vasculature of the brain and acquire tissue macrophage features without transmigrating across the blood–brain barrier12. In malaria-infected individuals the numbers of CD14loCD16+ monocytes, the human equivalent of this subset, have also been found to be increased. These cells are CCR2- and express high levels of CX3CR1, which is correlated with increased fractalkine-mediated adherence to endothelial cells in vitro48,49.
In the lung, our results show that Ly6Chi monocytes differentiate principally into Ly6Cint interstitial macrophages and Ly6Clo monocytes. Our analysis and adoptive transfer data indicate interstitial macrophages are an intermediate stage between Ly6Chi and Ly6Clo monocytes in infected mice. This is consonant with previous work in a model of lung fibrosis which showed that infiltrating CD11b+ macrophages are derived from Ly6Chi monocytes and CCR2 expression is required for their accumulation in the lung50. In PbA infection of C57BL/6 mice, CCR2 is also required for macrophage-derived monocyte accumulation in the lung15. The association between levels of CCL2 in the CSF and serum, and severity of disease in CM patients further supports the importance of CCR2+ cells (or their derivatives) in CM51.
Accumulation of adherent leucocytes, including monocytes, in brain vessels is limited in the early stages of infection, but increases significantly in mice displaying severe clinical signs13. Thus, early IMP treatment from d3 p.i. largely prevented intravascular monocyte accumulation and protected approximately half of the mice against ECM. However, at later timepoints when most monocytes were already present in the brain vasculature and had downregulated Ly6C expression, the efficacy of IMP treatment when administered alone was reduced. Consistent with this, in other studies, anti-CCR2 antibody treatment, which also targets Ly6Chi monocytes, was successful early in infection, but not at later timepoints14.
Solely treating with anti-malarial drugs on clinical presentation of severe malaria also has limited efficacy in mice, with few published examples of successful treatment after the development of disease signs. In particular, RD can develop before, during or after administration of anti-parasitic treatment and mortality ranges between 50 and 80%, depending on the availability of mechanical ventilation52. This is consistent with the limited efficacy of artesunate in treating lung pathology observed in this study (Fig. 6a). In ECM, administration of artesunate or artemether at clinical disease onset resulted in 45% survival and reduced leucocyte accumulation in the brain vasculature, similar to our findings (Fig. 4a) and53. In other studies, twice daily treatment with artesunate, artemisone, chloroquine or a combination of these, between d6 and d9 p.i. prevented or delayed development of ECM, but required additional anti-parasitic treatment upon recrudescence36,54. Thus, in these studies treatment was required over an extended period and at least ten doses were needed to achieve long-term survival.
In contrast, the combination of artesunate and IMP, administered at the onset of neurological signs, effectively abrogated ECM and RD with only two doses over 48 h. This was associated with reduced pathogenic accumulation of monocytes in the cerebral vasculature and lungs. IMP-mediated reduction in circulating Ly6Chi monocyte numbers would synergise with artesunate-mediated reduction in TNF levels, which itself would reduce endothelial ICAM-1 expression and thus leucocyte adhesion45,55. In the ECM brain, it seems that the reduction in Ly6Clo monocytes in combination-treated mice may principally be attributable to the anti-adhesive activity of artesunate, with IMP contributing to the reduction in circulating Ly6Chi monocytes. In the lung, the effect of combination treatment may be due more to the action of IMP reducing circulating Ly6Chi monocyte numbers, since in the lung, artesunate alone has little impact on cell numbers. Notably, mice receiving IMP, alone or in combination with artesunate, showed the largest reduction in circulating MV, which are associated with CM neuropathology and derived from monocytes and other cells in mice39 and human patients38. This reduction could be explained by a reduction in the numbers of cells from which they originate or by diminished activation of these cells40,56. The anti-TNF properties of artesunate alone evidently do not reduce circulating MV levels in infected mice, presumably because TNF is only one of many agonists present in severe malaria that can stimulate MV production57. In contrast, IMP treatment reduced the number of circulating cells, inevitably reducing MV numbers and may thus contribute to the efficacy of this therapy. Irrespective, the specific immune modulation of monocytes here shows significantly improved efficacy compared to current adjunctive general immune suppressive therapies.
In conclusion, through detailed analysis of the immune response in severe malaria, we identified the principal accumulating immune subsets and targeted them with a novel combination therapy. Synergy between IMP-mediated modulation of monocyte migration and the anti-parasitic/anti-inflammatory effects of artesunate in vivo resulted in almost complete protection against ECM and RD in mice with clinically evident severe malaria, as well as conferring robust long-term immunity. The late stage success of this combination therapy in mice highlights the novel potential of immune-modulatory treatments in severe malaria and suggests a potential avenue for human translation.
Female 7–12-week-old CBA/J mice were obtained from the Animal Resource Centre (ARC) (Western Australia, Australia) and kept under specific pathogen-free conditions with access to food and water ad libitum. Permission for all experiments was obtained from the University of Sydney Animal Ethics Committee and all experiments were performed in compliance with relevant University of Sydney, State and NH&MRC ethical regulations.
Experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1 × 106 Plasmodium berghei-ANKA (PbA)-parasitised RBC (pRBC). pRBC were isolated from PbA-infected mice on d7 post infection (p.i.) and were stored in liquid nitrogen in Alsever’s solution with 10% glycerol until use58. Mock-infected mice received an i.p. injection of an equal volume of buffer. Mice were assessed using a previously described clinical evaluation score59 and diagnosed with ECM based on presentation with disease signs, including ruffled fur, severe motor impairment or convulsions (clinical score 3–4). Briefly, a score of 0 indicates absence of clinical signs; a score of 1 indicates non-ECM-specific signs such as ruffled fur and hunched posture; a score of 2 indicates some motor impairment and ruffled fur; a score of 3 indicates fitting and hemiplegia; and a score of 4 indicates coma. Parasitaemia was monitored by counting erythrocytes stained with Diff-Quick (ProSciTech, Queensland, Australia) on thin blood smears by light microscopy on d4 post infection (p.i.) and every 1–2 days after this, for the duration of the infection. Reinfection following resolution of primary infection was performed through administration of 1 × 106 (PbA-pRBC) via intraperitoneal injection.
Intravenous delivery of immune-modifying microparticles
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) carboxylated IMP with a diameter of 500 nm were purchased from Phosphorex Inc (Hopkinton, MA, USA). IMP were diluted in sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to a concentration of 4.26 × 109 particles/200 µL and administered intravenously.
Administration of anti-malarial treatments
Quinine hydrochloride dihydrate, chloroquine diphosphate and artesunate (from Artemisia annua) were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). All anti-malaria drugs were diluted in sterile PBS to a concentration of 50 mg/kg in a 200 µL volume and administered intraperitoneally.
Longitudinal studies were performed to assess survival in treated, compared to non-treated mice. Mice treated from an early timepoint received IMP daily from d3–10 p.i., and three doses of quinine treatment from d14 p.i. Mice were treated when neurological ECM signs became evident and received IMP or artesunate, or a combination of IMP and either artesunate or chloroquine in two doses separated by 24 h.
Cross-sectional studies were performed to assess the effect of treatment on histopathology and cellular infiltration at certain timepoints. This analysis took place at d8 or d10 p.i. in mice treated from d3 p.i. onwards, while mice treated from the onset of signs were sacrificed 36 h after initial treatment.
Mice were anaesthetised, perfused with sterile PBS and the brain and lungs collected. The brains were processed into single cell suspensions as previously described17. Briefly, mechanical dissociation of the brain was followed by enzymatic digestion with DNase I (0.005 mg/mL) and collagenase (0.05 g/mL). Subsequently, a 30%/80%Percoll gradient was used to isolate the cells of interest from the digested tissue. Whole lungs were collected in 2 mL of RPMI with DNase I (0.2 mg/mL) and collagenase IV (0.2 mg/mL) (Sigma Aldrich) and the tissue cut up using C tubes on the gentleMACS dissociator (programme m_liver_03) (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) at room temperature. The samples were then incubated in a waterbath at 37 °C for 30 min, after which they were dissociated further on the gentleMACS (programme m_imp_04_01). Cell suspensions were strained through a 70 µm mesh cell strainer (Miltenyi Biotec) and red blood cells were lysed using RBC lysis buffer (Biolegend, San Diego, CA). Live cell numbers were determined by counting cells that excluded trypan blue. Single cell suspensions were incubated with anti-CD16/32 and LIVE/DEAD Fixable Blue Stain (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and subsequently stained with one of three cocktails of fluorescently labelled antibodies to identify myeloid, lung or brain populations. Fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies used were anti-CX3CR1 (SA011F11, Biolegend), anti-I-A/I-E (M5/114.15.2, Biolegend), anti-CD45 (30-F11, Biolegend), anti-NK1.1 (PK136, Biolegend), anti-Ly6G (1A8, Biolegend), anti-CD8α (53–6.7, Biolegend), anti-CD206 (C068C2, Biolegend), anti-CD11b (M1/70, Biolegend and BD Biosciences), anti-CD11c (N418, Biolegend and HL3, BD Biosciences), anti-Ly6C (HK1.4, Biolegend), anti-CD3ε (145-2C11, Biolegend and BD Biosciences), anti-B220 (RA3-6B2, Biolegend and BD Biosciences), anti-CD80 (16-01A1, Biolegend and BD Biosciences), anti-CD86 (GL-1, Biolegend), anti-CD4 (GK1.5, Biolegend), anti-CD64 (X54-5/7.1, Biolegend), anti-CD24 (M1/69, BD Biosciences), anti-Siglec-F (E50-2440, BD Biosciences), anti-CD115 (AFS98, Biolegend), anti-CCR2 (SA203G11, Biolegend), anti-F4/80 (BM8, Biolegend). Expression of cell surface markers was measured using the FACSDiva programme on a LSR II fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA). Acquired data was analysed in FlowJo (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR). Quality control gating based on forward and side scatter and LIVE/DEAD staining was applied to exclude debris, doublets and dead cells. Populations of interest were identified by fluorescence, according to the gating strategies shown in Supplementary Figs. 2 and 4, and quantified based on the percentage of the population and total cell counts.
t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding (tSNE) was applied to compensated populations of interest, exported from FlowJo. These files were loaded into Matlab R2014b using the cyt v3 tool, subsampled and transformed. Selected markers were used to perform a bh-tSNE analysis on the transformed data, resulting in a 2D plot, which was overlaid with a heat map of marker expression22. The markers used for the generation of brain tNSE plots were CD11b, CD45, CD11c, CX3CR1, CCR2, Ly6G, F4/80, MHC-II, CD80, CD86, CD205 and CD206 with a perplexity parameter of 30. The markers used for the generation of lung tSNE plots were CD11b, CD45, CD11c, CD3e, CD24, CD64, CD80, CD86 and CD206 with a perplexity parameter of 30. A plot showing expression of each marker was generated using a script in R60. MFI of brain and lung populations used in tSNE analysis is shown in Supplementary Tables 1 and 2, respectively.
Brain, lung and spleen tissue was fixed in neutral-buffered formalin for 24 h, and 70% ethanol for 48 h. Tissue was then dehydrated overnight, embedded in paraffin wax, cut into 5 µm thick sections, mounted on slides and stained using standard haemotoxylin and eosin protocols. Histopathology was assessed using a previously defined scoring system61. The proportion of occluded vessels (containing leucocytes and/or RBC) to empty vessels was determined on blinded sections from each of the treatment and control groups, as previously described62. No specific area of the brain was chosen for this examination, as this is typically a diffuse pathology, with instances of sequestration and haemorrhaging observed throughout the brain. Thus, the entire brain section was examined in each case.
Cell sorting and adoptive transfer
The bone marrow of d7 p.i. PbA-infected mice was isolated from femurs and tibias and processed into a single cell suspension. Two donors were used per recipient. Red blood cells were lysed using RBC lysis buffer (Biolegend, San Diego, CA). Subsequently, cells were incubated with anti-CD16/32 and LIVE/DEAD Fixable Blue Stain (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Next, the cells were incubated with fluorescently-labelled antibodies against CD45, CD115, CD11b, Ly6C, Ly6G and B220. Ly6Chi CD11b+ inflammatory monocytes were sorted on an Influx cell sorter using the FACSDiva Programme (Becton Dickinson). The gating strategy is shown in Supplementary Fig. 3. The purity of the sorted cells was > 90% in all cases and 5 × 105 cells were transferred to each recipient. These cells were labelled with membrane dye PKH26 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturers’ instructions and injected intravenously into PbA-infected recipients in 200 µL sterile PBS on d7 p.i. Recipients were sacrificed 12, 24 and 36 h post-transfer and the brain and lungs were isolated and processed for flow cytometry, as described above.
Microvesicle (MV) enumeration
Mouse venous blood was collected by retro-orbital puncture under anaesthesia in 0.129 mol/L sodium citrate (ratio of blood to anticoagulant 4:1). Samples were centrifuged at 1500xg for 15 min at room temperature. Harvested, platelet-poor plasma samples were further centrifuged at 18,000xg for 5 min, twice, to achieve platelet-free plasma. Platelet-free plasma was centrifuged at 18,000xg for 45 min, the supernatant removed and retained, and the pellet centrifuged for a further 45 min at 18,000xg in a solution of sodium citrate and PBS (ratio of citrate to PBS 1:3) to pellet MV. Total MV numbers were quantified by detection of phosphatidylserine using FITC-Annexin V labelling (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA), as previously described41. Samples were acquired on a Gallios flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) and analysed using Kaluza (Beckman Coulter).
GraphPad Prism 7 (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA) was used to graph data and perform statistical analyses. Survival data was compared using the Mantel-Cox log-rank test. Comparison of two samples was conducted using Mann–Whitney, and three or more samples were compared using Kruskal–Wallis test with a Dunn’s multiple comparison test. p-values of ≤0.05 were regarded as significant and designated in figures as p ≤ 0.05 (*), p ≤ 0.01 (**), p ≤ 0.005 (***) and p ≤ 0.001 (****). Error bars are shown as standard error of the mean (SEM).

Education is about learning skills and data It additionally means serving to people to learn how to do things and help them to consider what they study. Education is the method of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, expertise, values, morals, beliefs, and habits. Districts and cities plan largely primarily based on quantity of inputs (e.g., variety of teachers, faculty supplies) rather than high quality of outputs (e.g., school efficiency or student studying outcomes). In nonformal education somebody (who will not be in class) can be taught literacy, different fundamental skills or job skills.
Medical colleges, law faculties, and driving faculties provide extra specialized forms of education. Building a more resilient education system: Indonesia can put money into on-line-instructing and studying capacities, data storage techniques, and catastrophe-resilient infrastructure to ensure learning continuity within the current COVID-pandemic and for future challenges.

Data from: Adaptive thermal plasticity enhances sperm and egg performance in a model insect
Vasudeva, Ramakrishnan et al. (2020), Data from: Adaptive thermal plasticity enhances sperm and egg performance in a model insect, Dryad, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.83bg17q
Rising and more variable global temperatures pose a challenge for biodiversity, with reproduction and fertility being especially sensitive to heat. Here, we assessed the potential for thermal adaptation in sperm and egg function using Tribolium flour beetles, a warm-temperate-tropical insect model. Following temperature increases through adult development, we found opposing gamete responses, with males producing shorter sperm and females laying larger eggs. Importantly, this gamete phenotypic plasticity was adaptive: thermal translocation experiments showed that both sperm and eggs produced in warmer conditions had superior reproductive performance in warmer environments, and vice versa for cooler production conditions and reproductive environments. In warmer environments, gamete plasticity enabled males to double their reproductive success, and females could increase offspring production by one-third. Our results reveal exciting potential for sensitive but vital traits within reproduction to handle increasing and more variable thermal regimes in the natural environment.

WASHINGTON – New, more relaxed recommendations for masks from federal health officials have overshadowed another major change in government guidelines: fully vaccinated Americans can largely fail to get tested for coronavirus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said last week that most people who have received the full course of shots and show no symptoms of COVID-19 do not need to be tested for the virus, even if they are exposed to someone infected.
The change represents a new phase of the epidemic after nearly a year in which testing was the main weapon against the virus. Vaccines are now critical to the response and have drastically reduced hospitalizations and deaths.
Experts say the CDC guidelines reflect a new reality in which nearly half of Americans have received at least one shot and about 40% are completely vaccinated.
“At this point we should be wondering if the benefits of testing outweigh the costs, which are a lot of interruptions, a lot of confusion, and very few clinical or public health benefits.” said Dr. A. David Paltiel of the Yale School of Public Health, who championed widespread testing at universities last year.
Although vaccinated people can still detect the virus, they have little risk of serious illness. And the positive test results can lead to what many experts say are now unnecessary worries and interruptions at work, at home and at school, such as quarantines and layoffs.
Other health experts say the abrupt changes by the CDC on the need for masks and tests have sent the message that COVID-19 is no longer a major threat, although the United States reports that the number of daily cases is close. of 30,000.
“Joe’s normal audience is interpreting what CDC says as‘ This is done. Is over,'” said Dr. Michael Mina of Harvard University, a leading advocate of rapid and widespread testing.
With more than 60% of Americans not fully vaccinated, he believes the detection of asymptomatic people still plays a role, especially among front-line workers who have to deal with the public.
CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said the updated guidelines are based on studies that show the robust effectiveness of the vaccine in preventing disease in various age groups and settings. Even when vaccinated people get COVID-19, their infections are usually milder, shorter, and less likely to spread to other people.
As a result, the CDC states that vaccinated individuals can generally be excluded from routine detection of COVID-19 in the workplace.
This change could eliminate headache tests like the one recently reported by the New York Yankees, when a player and several staff members tested positive on a highly sensitive COVID-19 test, despite being vaccinated.
Baseball officials are debating whether or not to reduce testing for asymptomatic people.
But widespread attempts to give up testing for vaccinated people could face the same dilemma as the CDC’s new mask guidelines: there’s no easy way to determine who has been vaccinated and who hasn’t.
Employers can legally require vaccinations for most workers, although few have proven this power, as vaccines do not yet have full regulatory approval. Even asking employees to disclose their vaccination status is considered intrusive by many labor law specialists.
For now, testing seems to continue unchanged in the places that adopted the practice, from offices to meat packaging plants to sports equipment.
Pork producer Smithfield Foods said it continues to conduct a combination of mandatory and optional testing for employees, depending on conditions in the workplace. Amazon said it will still offer voluntary and periodic testing.
The NBA has indicated that it plans to maintain its testing system for now. The league has been praised for having used rigorous testing to create COVID-19 free “Bubbles” around players, coaches and staff.
Nationally, the supply of COVID-19 tests now far exceeds demand. U.S. officials receive reports of approximately one million tests daily, below a high of more than 2 million in mid-January, although many rapid tests performed at home and in the workplace are not counted.
Consumers can buy 15-minute over-the-counter tests at pharmacies and other stores. This adds to the increased capacity of U.S. labs and hospitals, which increased testing after last year’s overwhelming demand.
According to researchers at Arizona State University, the United States will be able to conduct 500 million monthly tests in June.
Recently this winter, many health experts called for a major testing effort to safely reopen schools, offices and other businesses. But that was before we knew the effectiveness of the vaccine in the real world, how quickly it could be distributed, and whether it would be protected against variants.
“Vaccines have been over-yielding, which is the best news possible,” said Dr. Jeffrey Engel of the State Council and Territorial Epidemiologists. “So now you can start undoing some of these mitigation layers, like using masks and detection.”
Congress allocated $ 46 billion to the latest pandemic relief package to increase testing, especially in schools. But with all Americans 12 and older eligible for vaccinations, many high school and high school students will be fully vaccinated when they return to classrooms in the fall.
And many school systems have already rejected routine testing for elementary students, as children rarely get seriously ill and a positive test can trigger disruptive quarantines.
Some states have even returned federal funds for testing, preferring simpler measures such as the use of masks and social distancing.
Many school officials, Engel said, “You just see detection programs as a huge load that won’t help you.”

Unlicensed hunting at three-year low
MADISON - Hunting without a license violations were at a three-year low last year statewide, according to numbers provided by the Department of Natural Resources.
Wardens ticketed 68 people statewide in 2016. That’s 37 fewer than the previous year and 44 fewer than in 2014.
That includes deer and other game as well as upland birds. Waterfowl violations are recorded separately and aren’t included in the data set.
While the downward trend may seem like good news, Chief Warden Todd Schaller says it’s hard to deduce a cause.
“It could be reflective of weather, hunting participation or it could be based on our vacancies,” Schaller said. “The economy can impact, too, whether people have the ability to buy licenses.
“Our numbers aren’t very big, so it doesn’t take very much to sway it in one direction or the other,” he said.
The state changed some licensing requirements for 2016, and that likely affected the number of violations, because wardens focused more on educating hunters than cracking down, Schaller said.
“How people bought licenses, what they physically were given — in some circumstances, they could display the license with their driver’s licenses, sometimes they were given a conservation card, sometimes a paper printout,” he said.
“Because it was a new system, we did a lot of education in ’16. We were using a high level of discretion on enforcement. That certainly had an influence.”
The elimination of back tags last year likely had no effect on the number of violations or law enforcement’s ability to catch violators, Schaller said.
“We can say within the department it was very rarely we were called and given information based only on a back tag,” he said. “It was a tool, but it was not used very frequently. More typically, someone will get a vehicle description or license plate.”
Hunting without a license is not a rare occurrence, but it isn’t a major problem in the state, Schaller said.
“Our compliance rate is fairly high when it comes to the purchasing of licenses, I think,” he said.
Most people, even out-of-staters, know licenses are needed, and not too many people want to run the risk of a $299 ticket, he said.
Aside from the cost of the ticket, violators also are required to buy small game licenses, he said.
Some things the data show:
The 68 violations in 2016 not only are the lowest in three years but compare favorably to 2005, which had 99 violations, and 2010, which had 77.
Nearly a third of the violations in the last three years occurred during the nine-day deer-gun season.
“As you can imagine, we hear all kinds of stories about why they may not have had a license,” Schaller said. “I think probably the rationale we hear most often is they thought maybe the species they were hunting was covered by the actual license they had; say they had a deer license and maybe they were hunting coyote, and they’d say ‘I thought the deer license covered all hunting.’”
In 2016, only 10 violations of hunting without a license happened during the nine-day gun-deer season, and all of those were in the western side of the state. Six happened in Washburn County and two in neighboring Burnett County.
It’s likely many of those western-county violations involved Minneapolis-St. Paul hunters, Schaller said. Hunting areas near densely populated areas are prime real estate for violations, he said.
In the last three years, Jefferson County, midway between Madison and Milwaukee, had the most violations at 23. Oconto County was next with 15.

The year was 1765. Parliament was debating whether to pass what would prove to be the first direct tax upon American goods the Stamp Act. The Stamp Act was designed to raise at least £60,000 of the £350,000 required annually to maintain the standing army in America by placing a tax upon any and all types of printed materials. The Act specified that stamped paper would have to be used for the printing of broadsides, newspapers, almanacs, legal papers of all sorts, liquor licenses, ships' clearance documents and even playing cards and dice.
The American colonists protested against the passage of the Act. It would appear that the crux of the dispute the American colonists had with the Stamp Act was their disagreement that Parliament should have the right to impose any tax upon them without their consent. Isaac Barre, a Member of Parliament in 1765, did not necessarily oppose the Parliament's right to impose such a tax. He, like a number of other Members, opposed the manner in which the tax should be imposed upon the colonists. In his statements to the assembly, Barre referred to the Americans as Sons Of Liberty, whose ancestors had fled from tyranny in the British Isles, and who might not accept the Act willingly. The name stuck.
It is human nature, especially the nature of those who are striving against some threat, real or imagined, to rally around some banner, some emblem, some symbol of unity. Remove the symbols and banners of unity between fledgling revolutionaries and their lifeforce will be somewhat depleted because their credibility will somehow be damaged. Two synonyms for the word identity are the words oneness and sameness. A large portion of the identity of any group (social, political, etc) is the recognition of the oneness or sameness of its members. The name that a group accepts for itself is often one which affirms that group's beliefs and objectives. The name of a group, especially of a revolutionary one, may often do more than simply give it a title, it may serve to define the aims and intentions of the group. A name, used as a banner, may very well empower the group with authorities and prerogatives it might not have known previously existed. It, like the warming sensation of liquor, might imbue the members of the group with a drunken sense of power. Throughout the American colonies in the 1760s groups of men may have felt that sense of power at the thought of being a son of liberty.
It would be a false assumption to presume that the American colonists, as a whole, were spoiling for a fight to the death with the mother country at the very beginning. Despite the various Acts the Parliament passed which affected the American Colonies, many, perhaps a majority, of the colonists were not in favor of causing an overt rift between themselves and Britain. Each Act tended to affect only a certain segment of the population in the North American colonies. It must be remembered that each colony or province was fiercely loyal only to itself. In 1765, and even up to the point when the first shots rang out at Lexington, most of the colonies were concerned only with their own welfare. They were not considering the effect that problems in their neighboring sister colonies might have upon them. There were some regional loyalties: the colonies to the north of New York (i.e. New England) tended to consider themselves akin; New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland (i.e. the Middle Colonies) were united by the bonds of commerce; and the colonies south of Maryland (i.e. the Southern Colonies) tended to view ties to each other because of their shared concept of agriculture. There was therefore not all that much concern in a southern colony such as Georgia, if Massachusetts would be compelled to pay a tariff on fishing rights because Georgia's ability to continue her own way of life was not directly threatened.
Not long after Colonel Barre uttered the name, the title of Sons Of Liberty became vested on an actual group of individuals. The passage of the Stamp Act by Parliament caused a great amount of agitation among the colonists. The Act would directly affect the well-being and livelihoods of merchants, printers, lawyers, shipowners, tavern keepers and land speculators among others. In the taverns and public meeting houses of towns throughout the colonies groups of concerned citizens began to meet to decide on how they would respond to the new Act. As newspapers published advertisements by those groups requesting others citizens to support non-compliance with the Act, the name Sons Of Liberty was sometimes used, and more and more individuals saw the banner they were looking for. In some cases the groups, in the name of the Sons Of Liberty, called for the peaceful resignation of stamp agents from their posts. Some others, such as the group which confronted Andrew Oliver in Boston, threatened the stamp agent with harm if he did not resign his post. The leaders of the group which identified themselves as Sons Of Liberty in Boston took credit for their actions under the name of The Loyal Nine. The Loyal Nine arranged for a day of public demonstration against the Stamp Act on 14 August, 1765. They organized a mock stamp office under effigies of Andrew Oliver and the Devil, which were hung from "Liberty Trees". The crowd that gathered were led to a brick building that Mr. Oliver was in the process of constructing and leveled it. They then marched on Mr. Oliver's house and caused minor damage to it. The house and library of Thomas Hutchinson, Comptroller of the Currency in Boston, were looted and ransacked by the Sons Of Liberty twelve days later. The scenes of mob violence were repeated in other cities throughout the colonies. The curious thing about the Sons Of Liberty phenomenon is that when the Stamp Act was finally repealed on 18 March, 1766, the movement virtually dissipated into nothing. The members of the groups, though, tended to reappear in later incarnations of radical activist groups.
It might seem curious to us living at this time, that such revolutionary groups would just disappear after the Stamp Act was repealed. The thing that must be recalled is that the Stamp Act affected the lives of people throughout the different colonies. When the threat to their personal livelihoods was removed, the people resumed their regional prejudices. It was not until certain individuals published essays and treatises in the attempt to alert the various colonies of the dangers of their apparent isolationist positions that passions were aroused toward the need of a national unity to confront the actions of the British Parliament. John Dickinson published his Letters From A Farmer in Pennsylvania To The Inhabitants Of The British Colonies in 1767 in which he questioned (and by extension, urged the other "Inhabitants Of The British Colonies" to question) the right of Parliament to tax the colonies to raise revenue.
The Tea Act of 1773 was the means Parliament devised to save the East India Company (and the nation) from bankruptcy. Despite the fact that the price of the tea was lowered, an importation tax would be charged in the colonies, and the East India Company would have the right to chose which merchants it sold the tea directly to. The Boston Tea Party resulted and the Parliament passed of the Coercive Acts in an attempt to punish the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The nature of the Coercive Acts was unprecedented. Through them, the British government attempted to gain a stronger control on the provincial governments control which had been lost by ineffective royal governors over the years. It wasn't too difficult for the colonists to see what Parliament was trying to do, and they did not like the thought of Parliament revoking their charters and restructuring their governments. They began to realize that they had to put aside their regional disagreements and work together.
An interesting phenomenon was occurring in the colonies during the early 1770s. In some colonies the royal governors so much as dissolved the legislatures in order to dissuade them from discussing the affairs taking place in the other colonies. If the legislative bodies could not meet, they would not be able to contemplate the actions of their sister colonies, and they would not be able to take legal action themselves. The members of the provincial legislative bodies, in some of the colonies, ignored the governors' attempts to gag them; they congregated in impromptu meetings and continued to conduct their business. In such an extra legal state of affairs, the members no doubt felt a greater ease of conducting their business the way they wished to, rather than the way they believed the royal governor would wish them to. Although records do not indicate it, the members of the county courts probably followed the example being set by the members of the provincial assemblies and held informal discussions at the local inn, where their opinions could flow freely, rather than at the court house, where their thoughts might be censured.
It is interesting to contemplate on the manner that the legislative assemblies, sworn to uphold the dictates of the King, changed and, seemingly overnight, forswore those prior allegiances. One must know something about the nature of British politics which, of course, were likewise American politics at the time. The legislative bodies were called into existence by the King and dissolved by the King. During the hiatus between Parliaments, the Members of Parliament went back to their farms and estates. Legal proceedings were suspended until the next Parliament was called. When the royal governors dissolved or suspended the provincial assemblies, the belief would have been that the members of the legislative body, whether it be the House of Burgesses in Virginia or the Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania, would simply go back to their homes and wait for the next official directive to be received from the King.
The Americans chose to deviate from the status quo of Eighteenth Century political custom. Men like Thomas Paine were publishing essays that declared that each man was entitled to his own beliefs. Paine's Common Sense, Rights Of Man, and Age Of Reason were not necessarily the thoughts of one man. Paine was simply one of those individuals who comes along every so often who is capable of elucidating the ideas and sentiments that many others around him are feeling.
Samuel Adams, in September of 1771, proposed that a network of corresponding societies be established. In response to his suggestion, the Boston Committee of Correspondence was created. The committee was created during a "town meeting" and drew its authority from the fact that, traditionally, any type of committee could be created that a majority of the town's residents saw fit to create. The members of the committee, chosen by the populace, included many members of the General Assembly. With the formation of Committees of Correspondence in at least fifty-eight other towns in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, a network was created. Issues brought up and discussed at various of the town meetings would be drafted in the form of letters by the local Committee, and would then be sent to the Boston Committee to be published in the newspapers and to be printed up as broadsides and pamphlets. In March, 1773 the Virginia House of Burgesses sent out a request for all the other colonies to follow Massachusetts Bay's example which they did. The sons of liberty now had a forum through which to express and share their ideas.
It must be noted that the single most significant event which instigated all the activity was the passage of the Coercive Acts by Parliament. Not all of the various colonial and provincial assemblies were inclined to rush headlong into a trade boycott against Great Britain which is something the merchants of Boston requested in letters to the merchants of the other major port cities. But the assemblies of practically all of the colonies were of the opinion that a meeting to discuss the state of affairs should be held. The congress was intended to achieve three objectives. The delegates planned to 1.) compose a statement of the rights the colonists felt they were entitled to, 2.) identify the Acts of Parliament which had violated those rights, and 3.) propose actions which would result in the repeal of the Acts. During the spring and summer of 1774 every colony except Georgia had elected delegates to attend a grand congress (i.e. conference) to be held at Philadelphia. The delegates met in Philadelphia during September of 1774.
Although the objectives of the First Continental Congress were not fully met, one of the things that came out of the discussions was a plan known as the Continental Association. The Association called upon all the colonies to participate in a trade boycott to endorse non-importation of British goods and to not export any American manufactures to any British port. The Association also suggested that all town and county judiciaries throughout all of the colonies establish Committee of Inspection and Observation. These Committees would be charged with enforcing the trade boycott. The Committees of Inspection would, in effect, function as a quasi governmental system to take the place of the judiciaries which had been suspended. By April, 1775 Committees were active in all of the colonies, albeit to varying extents. The New York delegates to the First Continental Congress refused to endorse the Association and so on the local level in that province there was not much endorsement. The other colonies and provinces were more supportive of the Association than New York, and Pennsylvania was included among them.
Between the 12th of July, 1774 and the 16th of May, 1775 various counties throughout the Province of Pennsylvania set up Committees. A Committee of Observation was set up in the county of Berks on 05 December, 1774. A Committee of Observation was established in the county of Chester on 20 December, 1774. Cumberland County formed a Committee of Observation on 12 July, 1774. A Committee of Observation was established in Northampton County on 21 December, 1774. Washington County's Committee of Observation was set up on 16 May, 1775. Westmoreland County's Committee of Inspection resolved to support the Association on 16 May, 1775. A Committee of Observation was chosen in York County at a general meeting of the inhabitants on 16 December, 1774.
Our own Bedford County established a Committee of Observation on 09 May, 1775. Although it was not the first county in the Province of Pennsylvania to declare its support of the Association by establishing a Committee of Inspection and Observation, it certainly was not the last one to do so. There were five members chosen to be part of that Committee: Samuel Davidson, David Espy, George Funk, Thomas Smith and George Woods. Those five men were not necessarily the only ones residing in Bedford County who supported the Association. Over the next few years, many men would make their way to the Bedford County Court House to sign Oaths of Allegiance and join the militia. They were all Sons Of Liberty.

What’s ProdActive Landscapes for?
The ecological emergency and the global energy crisis are driving us to rethink architectural design in terms of optimization of local resources, reduction of water and energy requirements, and integration of technologies producing energy from renewable sources. Sustainability issues have already been transforming building’s function from places to live to multifunctional systems integrating energy production and, always more frequently, food production, including roof top or hydroponic indoor agriculture. The ProdActive Landscapes project proposes to use the same complex approach in landscape design, as intermediate and essential step between complex Actives buildings and the complexity of the city. In order to evolve the public space design from the contemplative and leisure, passives, functions into an urban space of food and energy production.
ProdActive Landscapes is a parametric model of territorial productive potential assessment, that far from suggest a deterministic way to design, wants to be an instrument of conscious design in order to create a network of re-signified green urban areas working as one diffuse system of energy production as alternative to the actual model of renewable energy extensive systems.
ProdActive Landscapes is proposed for the service of local community and landscapes designer, who wants to integrate renewable energy production in that existing high density neighborhood where power demand is non reachable just by ordinary rooftop PV systems technologies. The model purpose an integrated system of traditional agriculture, waste water treatment with herbal purification, water collection, biomass production, and bio-PV energy production, looking for the way to optimize the land surface in order to respect sustainability issues .
Pick the ground
Land Analysis Process
The Analysis process starts from Geographic Information System providing by internet access most of data required as land morphology, weather data, soil quality, productive potential by using several on lines database.
ProdActive Landscapes is a dynamic model. It means that allows several ways of use consistent with different ways to design. For example, it is possible to evaluate the maximum productivity starting from land analysis, obtaining the maximum human charge supported in a self-sufficient environment, or to start from a local community of residents in order to study its specific requirements, in term of land’s surface, to collect water, purify water with herbal purification, produce vegetable, milk eggs etcetera.
A solar analysis provides a first discrimination of land. In order to evaluate productive potential, the model gives as output a “potential food production map” and the number of persons “feed-able” for each crops category ( cereals, olives, vegetables) as the same way as for milk/eggs or meat productions; defining the maximum community supported by that territory depending on nutritional model too, vegan, vegetarian, or general.
Seed the sky
The landscape’s productivity evaluation is just the first stage of ProdActive Landscapes project. The second stage basically consist in design an module for agricultural production parametrized for rooftop agricultural production as well as urban gardening automatically adaptable at specific environmental condition , specially solar radiation, to optimize energy production by solar pv or bioPV . This gardening module easily download-able an Fab-able in every Fab Lab will integrated sensor to collect environmental and production data feedback of all the network of new Energy-gardeners around the world.

State changes rules to allow hammock camping
The Iowa Natural Resources Commission is changing its rules to allow the use of hammocks in state parks and camping areas.
State Parks Bureau Chief Todd Coffelt said some people use hammocks for sleeping instead of a tent or RV. âYou still have to rent a site – but if there are mature enough trees that can be used to tie your hammock to it – then we want to provide it. It’s just that you have to take care to do that, to tie it there so that the tree doesn’t get injured, âsays Coffelt.
The proposed rules indicate how hammocks are held together with straps and bands. You cannot hammer nails or screw screws into trees to hold your hammock. He says the use of hammocks depends on where you are.
âNot all parks have the right tree height to support a person like me that I would be comfortable sleeping in,â he says. “But it’s different for everyone.” Coffelt says they also want to avoid having too many hammocks in a tree.
âIf you can find two trees the right distance apart, you’re going to set up a hammock. Then you’re going to start what I call the ladder effect where you have a hammock over a hammock, over a hammock. And we have to fix it, because part of what we do is protect the resource, âCoffelt said.
He says they will only allow two hammocks or camping units together.
âYou can’t stack them six. Nature just isn’t designed for everything we want it to do sometimes. We want to work with people and accommodate them as much as possible, âsays Coffelt.
Anyone interested can submit comments regarding this draft regulation. MNR is taking comments on the proposed rule change. You must send your comments no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 2. Comments should be addressed to: [email protected]
There will be a public hearing by conference call at 10 a.m. on June 2.

Your smile might be the first thing that a person notices about you, as well as if you desire brighter and also whiter teeth, there are some things that you may would like to know concerning teeth bleaching. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure in some cases described as oral whitening, yet there is a distinction in interpretation. Teeth lightening restores the teeth to their natural color, and bleaching whitens teeth beyond the natural color. There are several reasons that teeth might come to be blemished, as well as there are expert procedures as well as home procedures that may help to whiten your teeth.
Factors for Tooth Discoloration
Deciduous teeth, or baby teeth, are generally whiter than adult teeth that adhere to. Teeth come to be darker when their mineral framework modifications, and as enamel ends up being less permeable. Bacterial pigments, various dark-colored foods and also beverages, cigarette, acidic foods, and some antibiotic medicines add to the discoloration of teeth, along with tiny cracks in the enamel from age, as well as use.
2 sorts of teeth stains are extrinsic, meaning the discolorations on the surface of the teeth, and intrinsic discolorations, which are discolorations within the tooth structure that are caused by trauma, aging, or exposure to tetracycline or extreme fluoride as a youngster. Tiny cracks additionally loaded with spots as well as particles, and also these countless splits in the enamel result from daily usage in chewing.
Kinds Of Pearly Whites Bleaching
In-Office Bleaching – Aesthetic dental professionals focus on teeth whitening, and also may make use of cleans, gels, laser light, or a combination of treatments. Teeth will usually be checked out and also cleansed originally, and tooth shade will be reviewed, utilizing a shade chart. A cheek retractor is placed, a solidifying resin is painted on the gum tissues to shield them from the bleach, and also whitening gel is requested 15 to thirty minutes. This gel is sucked or rinsed off, and fresh gel is once again requested 15-30 more minutes. Extreme laser light may likewise be utilized to trigger or improve lightening gels. The price on an average is $650 per treatment.
Over-The-Counter Or Dental Practitioner Supplied Whiteners – These whiteners are utilized in your home, and also can be tooth paste, lightening strips, lightening trays or lightening pens, and generally include baking soft drink, carbamide peroxide, or hydrogen peroxide. Many non-prescription lightening tooth paste include small abrasives, which scrub stains from the enamel. A lot of these items do function, yet will certainly not create the outcomes of a specialist lightening, due to the fact that the energetic representatives, such as peroxide, do not stay on the teeth long enough to whiten a great deal, unless used typically. These products can cost anywhere from $20-$ 100 on average.
All-natural Lightening – Some fruits and vegetables consist of malic acid, which is an organic compound, and also may aid to whiten teeth. Baking soda may likewise be utilized in brushing, as a light unpleasant to scrub spots from the external enamel.
Dangers of Pearly Whites Lightening
The key threat to your teeth from bleaching is damage to the enamel. Utilizing bleaching products excessively, or cleaning as well hard, and frequently, may harm the enamel of the tooth, subjecting it, which will certainly result in tooth level of sensitivity. Gum irritation might result from utilizing hydrogen peroxide, likewise resulting in teeth level of sensitivity problems.
You need to not have your teeth lightened if you are expecting or nursing, due to the threat of ingesting peroxide. Another danger is called “technicolor teeth”, indicating that teeth are colored in different ways as a result of porcelain veneer, bonding, or crowns not being bleached to match other teeth. The lightening substances used, do not affect any previous dental job, so your freshly lightened teeth might not match the previously added dental products.
Keep in mind to have realistic assumptions of any type of teeth-whitening treatment. When teeth are lightened, they will go back to their natural color, which is dictated by genetics, and your lifestyle. When teeth are blonde, bleach them just as white as any type of porcelain dental job you have actually had, to ensure that your all-natural teeth as well as any dentistry work will certainly match. Lightening outcomes are not completely seen up until approximately 2 weeks after bleaching, so if wanted results are not seen immediately, wait to see to it, before seeking an additional treatment.

All About Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are warts that are only found on the feet, hence the term “plantar”, which means “relating to the foot.” They are caused by the human papillomavirus, or HPV, and occur when this virus gets into open wounds on the feet. The warts themselves are hard bumps on the foot. They are easily recognizable, mostly found on the heels or ball of the foot. Plantar warts are non-malignant, but they can cause some pain, discomfort, and are often unsightly. Removing them is a common step toward treating them.
Plantar warts can cause some pain while standing, sometimes felt as tenderness on the sole of your foot. Unless the wart has grown into the foot behind a callus, you will be able to see the fleshy wart. A podiatrist should only be consulted if there is an excessive amount of pain. Plantar warts are not cancerous or dangerous, but they can affect your walking and continually reappear. Anyone who suffers from diabetes or a compromised immune system disease should seek out care immediately.
Podiatrists are easily able to diagnose plantar warts. They usually scrape off a tiny bit of the rough skin to make tiny blood clots visible and examine the inside of warts. However, a biopsy can be done if the doctor is not able to diagnose them from simply looking at them. Although plantar warts usually do not require an excessive amount of treatment, there are ways to go about removing them. A common method is to freeze them off using liquid nitrogen, removing them using an electrical tool, or burning them off via laser treatment. For a less invasive treatment option, topical creams can be used through a doctor’s prescription. This treatment method takes more time, however. Keep the wart covered for protection in between daily treatments.
The best way to avoid developing plantar warts is to avoid walking barefoot in public places. Avoid this especially if you have open sores or cuts on your feet. It is also important to avoid direct contact with warts in general, as they are highly contagious.
Effect of High Heels on the Feet
For hundreds of years, women have been wearing various kinds of high heels for aesthetic reasons. Women who wear high heels appear to be taller and have longer and thinner legs, and the wearer’s gait and posture changes. Though high heels have had an association with femininity and have kept them popular over the years, there are definite health problems caused by wearing them too frequently.
The motion of the ankle joints is limited when heels are worn. The ankle joint is very important to the body when it comes to walking. Because of their location, these joints have a great deal of weight put on them. Thus, it is very important to keep them as healthy as possible. The Achilles tendon is the main tendon in the ankle. Wearing high heels too often, studies have shown, can cause the calf muscle and Achilles tendon to shorten and stiffen. This can cause problems when shoes without heels are worn.
By putting a great deal of pressure on the ball of the foot and by forcing the toes into a small toe box, high heels can cause or may worsen many foot problems. These include corns, hammertoe, bunions, Morton’s neuroma and plantar fasciitis.
Not only does wearing high heels regularly have negative effects on the feet, the rest of the body can suffer as well. The knees, one of the most important joints in the entire body, can be affected by wearing high heels. High heels can cause the knees to stay bent all the time. Also, it can cause them to bend slightly inward as well. Doctors believe that women can suffer from osteoarthritis later in life because of constantly walking like in high heels. By limiting the natural motion of the foot during walking, high heels also cause an increased in stress on the knees.
Similarly, high heels can cause the back to go out of alignment. If high heels are worn constantly, the spine’s ability to absorb shock can cause continued back pain. They can compress the vertebrae of the lower back, and can overuse the back muscles.
However, this is not to say that high heels can never be worn. If worn occasionally and not often, they will not cause serious problems. They should not be worn every day. It’s important to wear them modestly to avoid the long-term physical health problems of the feet, knees, ankles, and back mentioned above.
The plantar fascia is a connective tissue in the heel that stretches across the bottom length of your foot. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the connective tissue becomes inflamed, causing heel pain and discomfort during physical activity. Although the condition is completely treatable, traditional methods can take up to a year to start becoming effective.
Plantar fasciitis is caused by a number of everyday activities, so understanding the condition is important for managing and treating it. One of the most common causes of plantar fasciitis is excessive running, especially with improper fitting or non-supportive shoes. Too much exercise can lead to the plantar fascia being overworked and overstretched, which can cause tears in the tissue. Along with improper fitting shoes, pronation, the rolling of the feet inward, is a common cause of plantar fasciitis. If not treated properly, the plantar fascia becomes overstretched and starts to tear, causing inflammation.
Despite the common causes of plantar fasciitis, there are many different treatment options. For less severe cases, conservative home remedies include taking anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate pain, applying ice packs to the bottom of your foot and heel, slowly stretching and exercising your feet to re-strengthen the tissue, and using orthotic devices are all ways to help manage your plantar fasciitis.
For more severe cases, shockwave therapy has become a common solution for plantar fasciitis. Shockwave therapy can effectively break up the tissue on the bottom of your foot which facilitates healing and regeneration. This fights the chronic pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Even if this doesn’t work, surgery is always a final option. Surgery on the tissue itself can be done to permanently correct the issue and stop the inflammation and pain in your heels.
No matter what the case may be, consulting your podiatrist is the first and best step to recovery. Even the slightest amount of heel pain could be the first stage of plantar fasciitis. Untreated symptoms can lead to the tearing and overstretching of tissue. Because the tearing of tissue can be compounded if it remains ignored, it can evolve into a severe case. The solution is early detection and early treatment. Talk to your podiatrist about the possibilities of plantar fasciitis if you’re experiencing heel pain.
Solutions for Cracked Heels
Cracked heels can make life very frustrating and embarrassing when displaying the bare feet. Aside from being unpleasing to the eye, they can also tear stockings and socks and wear out shoes at a faster rate. When severe, cracked heels may cause pain or infection.
Cracked heels are a problem for those who are athletic, those who may walk a lot, and those who have especially dry skin. Those who use medication that dry the skin, those who swim often, wearing certain types of shoes, and those who are diabetic may have trouble with cracked heels. Seniors whose skin produces less oil may also have trouble with cracked feet. There is no one way to develop cracked feet, and there is no cure.
Today, the market consists of numerous products that have a variety of ingredients to promote healing. Some of these are over-the-counter. Others are prescribed by a doctor, especially for those who have chronic dry feet and heels.
Some doctors recommend wearing socks at night for those with rough skin. This helps further healing, and helps creams stay on longer and better absorb into the skin.
One way to alleviate dryness that causes cracked heels is by using moisturizers both day and night. Another way is to make sure the skin is clean and dry at all times. Using a pumice stone to buff away dead skin before putting on moisturizer can also help. Cracked heels will not respond to the cream unless the outer layer of skin is first removed through exfoliation. After exfoliation, lotion or ointment will be absorbed by the skin more easily.
Foods that produce healing and balance can also help the skin from within. Everything that is put into the body can either help it or hurt it. Taking supplements of omega-3 fatty acids and zinc can also be very beneficial.
Nevertheless, not all products are guaranteed to help treat cracked feet. Seeing a professional is best if other treatments options were unsuccessful. A podiatrist should be able to give the best advice to help with this problem.

In the world of local newspapers, the front page story is usually just that - a story about local people that matters to local people.
National events occasionally take precedence but usually it is only the most momentous in history which are ever considered for the main space.
It speaks volumes about the depth of feeling on Teesside then that in the days following the death of Princess Diana, the Gazette led with news about her no fewer than six times that week.
And as well as the front page, we carried more inside pages filled with unfolding news, tributes and pictures as our corner of the world tried to come to terms with what had happened, just like everywhere else around the globe.
As usual, the headlines from our team of journalists perfectly summed up the mood at home and around the country.
Announcing the tragedy, we carried a simple full page picture of the princess. ‘Silent Prayers’ followed the day after as we reported how shops and businesses around Teesside announced plans to close on the day of her funeral out of respect and flowers began to be placed at the Princess of Wales Bridge in Stockton.
‘Your Sea of Love’ came next as we reported how hundreds of people from the North east were set to make the journey to stand in the streets of the capital to pay their respects at Diana’s funeral and the mass of floral tributes placed at Kensington Palace grew.
Then came ‘The Vigil’ as the Queen prepared her broadcast to the nation and mourners began to gather in London.
‘Diana’s Island’ brought our readers the news of her final resting place and then, on Monday September 8, we led with the words ‘After the tears’ as more flowers and tributes were stacked at the Princess of Wales Bridge in Stockton and we reported how Teesside turned eerily silent during her funeral.
We reported on Diana’s visits to Teesside and the sadness as Teessiders placed their floral tributes at the bridge, how books of condolence were opened at the town halls in Eston and Middlesbrough and how our civic buildings flew their flags at half mast out of respect for the princess. Shops and businesses across Teesside prepared to close on the day she was laid to rest, some placed pictures and tributes in their windows. Churches across the area welcomed increased congregations and a special mass of commemoration held at St Mary’s Cathedral in Coulby Newham.
Hundreds of Teessiders left floral tributes at the Stockton bridge which was closed to traffic during her funeral. Redcar town centre was another spontaneous gathering point for floral tributes from which the cards were collected and sent to the Spencer family.
The outpouring of national grief was unprecedented and it reached every corner of the country, including ours. There was, quite simply, little other news that mattered quite so much to local people that first week in September 1997.

According to Brandwein, most boxes of dried pasta weigh roughly 1 pound and yield four big individual servings per box.
- 1 How many servings is 16 oz of noodles?
- 2 How much does a pound of noodles make?
- 3 How many noodles are in a pound?
- 4 How much is a serving of noodles?
- 5 How much does 16 oz uncooked pasta make?
- 6 How do you measure one serving of pasta?
- 7 How much does 1 pound of dry macaroni make cooked?
- 8 How much is a pound of uncooked pasta?
- 9 How much is a serving of pasta cooked?
- 10 How much pasta is 4 servings?
- 11 How much is 12 oz uncooked pasta?
- 12 How much is a serving of egg noodles?
How many servings is 16 oz of noodles?
In order to measure pasta that is too long to be cut into smaller pieces (such as spaghetti), you should hold the noodle on end and measure it from that point. Dry pasta is roughly 2/3 of an inch wide, which translates to one serving for two ounces of dry pasta. Eight servings will be provided by a 16-ounce package of these shapes.
How much does a pound of noodles make?
The diameter of a two-ounce strand of long pasta is normally two inches or a little bit more, depending on the size of the noodle. According to the website www.barilla.com, the circumference generates approximately 1 cup of cooked pasta. As a result, a 1-pound box of dried pasta will provide approximately 8 cups of cooked pasta.
How many noodles are in a pound?
Because 24 linguine noodles weigh 1 ounce, we get 384 noodles every 16-ounce (or one-pound) serving of pasta.
How much is a serving of noodles?
Pasta Sizing: What to Look for When cooking pasta, a fair rule of thumb is to use 2 ounces (56 g) of dried pasta per person, unless otherwise specified.
How much does 16 oz uncooked pasta make?
As a result, a 1 pound box of dried pasta (16 ounces = 4 cups dry) yields around 8 cups when cooked.
How do you measure one serving of pasta?
According to the USDA, 2 ounces of pasta is the recommended serving size. Holding a quarter-inch-thick piece of pasta up to your quarter-inch-thick measuring cup will provide you with the exact quantity you need to make your longer noodles. When a cluster of noodles is equal to the width of a coin, you have the recommended 2 ounces of ramen noodles. Put it in the palm of your hand.
How much does 1 pound of dry macaroni make cooked?
When cooked, 1 pound of dried pasta yields approximately 8 cups.
How much is a pound of uncooked pasta?
Depending on the form of the pasta, 4 cups of dry pasta is typically equal to 1 pound of pasta, however this might vary. The fact that 1 cup of dry pasta equals about 2 cups of cooked noodles means that 1 pound of dry pasta equals 8 cups of cooked noodles.
How much is a serving of pasta cooked?
While the USDA recommends a serving size of 1 ounce for all grains, including pasta, they recognize that this is not a realistic expectation given that 1 ounce of dry pasta is equivalent to just 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti.
How much pasta is 4 servings?
Penne pasta should be measured with measuring cups or a food scale. One and a half cup per serving; four servings equal 3 cups; six servings equal 4 1/2 cups; and eight servings equal 6 cups.
How much is 12 oz uncooked pasta?
What is the weight of 12 ounces of dried spaghetti? It is around 1.5 cups in volume.
How much is a serving of egg noodles?
Additionally, keep an eye on your portion sizes and aim to keep each dish to roughly 1 cup (160 grams) of cooked egg noodles.

Aren’t they synonyms? Aren’t both these words applied to adults who have some of the characteristics of a child?
No. And … yes.
Both words are typically applied to adults. And both words are typically applied to indicate that the adult in question has some characteristic(s) in common with a child.
But the sense of these words is quite different.
I spent two wonderful summers in my mid-teens working as a counselor at a camp for kids with special needs. Many of these kids had been paralyzed from polio. Some were confined to a wheelchair. But polio was not the only cause of issues. One week was dedicated to kids who were severely hearing impaired. One of the great joys of that particular week was a camp tradition that the cook would “chase” the senior counselor while clanking a cow bell very loudly through the mess hall. Only two of the group of 50-60 kids were totally unable to hear. (Who knows? Maybe even those two have been since able to hear a little with cochlear implants). Anyway, although the rest couldn’t hear well enough to understand spoken speech, they could hear that very loud bell. People differ in all sorts of capabilities; most often the kids at the camp — and adults as well — have some mobility, or some hearing, or some coordination. The so-called “deaf kids” squealed with delighted laughter at the antic.
Generally speaking, the weeks that the kids came were not organized by their particular special needs but by age range. The first campers to appear were young; perhaps 5-7. The next group were 8-10. There was a huge difference in the way these two groups approached things. The younger kids had a kind of … openness. A light burned behind their eyes. They were fully there. The second group were already wary. Instead of plunging ahead to answer a question based on what they themselves thought and felt, they would look at my face, or the face of another authority figure and try to read what they were supposed to think and feel. They had, it seemed, surrendered some of their soul to schools, and rules, and requirements. They knew how to be cagey. The light behind their eyes had dimmed.
Inside every adult however, that wild well-lit child still lingers and sometimes he or she will come out to play. For some folks, that requires drugs or alcohol. Others save it for special occasions like Mardi Gras or having their team win the World (sic) Series. And some adults are lucky (or unlucky) enough to be in a profession that actually rewards creativity — at least up to a point. Painters, writers, actors, therapists, scientists, dancers — often need to draw on that inner child to see afresh; to play; to dance; to interact with the world while minimizing preconceptions. That is being child-like. And, it is generally thought to be a good thing. Some adults find any hint of play annoying in other adults. Children almost universally like it — although they want the adults to be adult when a real danger is afoot.
Once, when my daughter was about four, she and I and my wife all sat on the floor listening to Leonard Bernstein’s introduction to the orchestra. We “adults” mimicked playing all of the various instruments. After a few minutes of this, my daughter looked back and forth between the two of us and said, “Oh! I get it! You two are really just little kids!” My wife and I burst out laughing. We took it as a great compliment.
In graduate school at Michigan, one of my favorite courses was “Complex Adaptive Systems” taught by Professor John Holland. Most of the course consisted of his showing various mathematical models of complex adaptive systems. One modeling effort in particular I found interesting. It explored this question:
“If you are a complex adaptive systems (we humans are one example; so are cows, crayfish, corporations, and clans) how much of your resources should you spend on optimizing based on how much you already know and learning more about the environment (and then you can use that knowledge to optimize even more effectively later).”
Under a wide range of assumptions, it turns out that it is just about 50-50. That is, you should spend roughly half of your resources learning more about the world around you and half using what you already know to get more of what you need to survive and thrive; e.g., in the case of a person, food, water, love, etc.
How many organizations do this? How many adults do this? And, if an adult does learn, is it really open learning? In my experience, even when most adults do try to learn new skills, they are their own worst enemies. They have a highly evolved network of constraints, rules, assumptions and — yes, they do try to improve their skills — but only so long as it does not require a change in those constraints, rules, and assumptions.
To take a trivial example, people will go on to the tennis court and attempt to improve their game. But they often do it by making the same mistakes over and over. For fundamental improvement at tennis (or almost anything else), you will need to be open to fundamental change. By the way, making a fundamental change means that your performance will get slightly worse before it gets better. For instance, one of the people I sometimes play with exhibits a common error. He doesn’t bring his racquet back soon enough. He runs to hit a shot and only brings the racquet back after the ball bounces. As a result, he often rushes the shot, does not have any power, or mis-hits the ball. He’s trying to improve his skill, but he won’t improve much until he changes his approach.
For fundamental change, we need to dig deep and find that way of being in the world in which we are open to what is happening. Unfortunately, if a player does manage to “remember” to bring the racquet back father, his or her first few attempts will likely be worse than the way he or she usually hits the ball. Why? Because the timing of the shot will be quite different. The positioning and the weight transfer will also be different. A child seems to enjoy the movement itself and they seem to grasp intuitively that bringing the racquet back farther will naturally result in more powerful ground strokes. If you can be or become child-like while you learn, you will free yourself to learn at a deeper level.
To be childish is a quite different thing altogether. Someone who is childish is often not interested in learning or adapting or changing at all. They insist that they are already perfect and if they didn’t win the Monopoly game or the Chess Game or the Tic-Tac-Toe game, it’s not their fault (and therefore, there is no reason to learn to do better).
While I ran an AI lab at NYNEX, for a time, I had a pretty long commute. I listened to many “Books on Tape” during the commute including the autobiographies of many CEO’s of companies. Many of them were childish rather than child-like. Perhaps because they were rich and powerful, people told them what they wanted to hear all too often. As a result, these CEO’s often blamed their failures on factors beyond their control: the weather, government regulation, foreign competition, bad luck, fickle customers, etc. When they had successes, that was because they were smart enough to hire good people, make excellent decisions, provide superb leadership. That attitude of taking all credit for success and zero responsibility for failure is being childish — not child-like.
Incidentally, other animals can be stubborn (like a mule) and refuse to try something new — or they can be child-like and explore, play, and innovate. Play is not something that humans invented. We’ve all seen dogs play, but so do cats, otters, crows, ravens, horses, foxes, etc. In a very real sense, life itself is play. The replication and reproduction of life always allows for some variance. Life is always exploring the new and well as sticking with the old. Life itself is a balance between work (using what we already know to defend or acquire) and play (exploring new places, new ways of doing things). It is a balance between being an adult and letting that inner child continue to play. That is being child-like.
Being childish is however quite different. That refers to a situation in which an adult (by chronological age) refuses to consider alternatives or the consider consequences; they refuse to think about the impact of their actions on others and even on themselves. Wearing a mask that has a Star Trek emblem or the likeness of a Skull or that’s colored like a rainbow — these are examples of being child-like. Refusing to wear a mask at all because someone doesn’t “feel like it”? That is being childish.
Wearing a condom that has a rocket ship on it is being child-like but not wearing one at all might be childish (unless you know you’re disease free and willing and able to raise a child). Putting on some of your favorite music and dancing while you’re doing the dishes is child-like; smashing the dishes on the floor because you’re fed up with washing them every day — that is childish. Making up a song so your students can learn math better is being child-like while being adult in taking your responsibilities seriously. Telling your students not to bother learning math — that is abdicating your responsibility to be an adult and being childish. Making up a funny protest sign and voting for the candidate whose policies you honestly think are good for the country is being an adult and being child-like. Refusing to learn about both candidates and voting for the one who makes absurd promises is being childish. Stubbornly refusing to learn the truth about your candidates failures and lies is being childish.
Life is a dance. Joining the dance and being child-like — that’s a really good thing for an adult’s health and well-being. It’s also good for society. Without any adults being child-like, there would be little or no math, science, art, music, or innovation. Of course, not all situations lend themselves to being child-like. You might have a job where the culture is so damned serious that any levity or joy will get you fired. If you have a family to feed, you might have to put on hold your desire to be child-like. If you give in to it and get fired, you’re being childish. First, get yourself a new job — hopefully one where you can be more child-like. Then, dance at the bank. If you are driving your car in bad weather, it’s not the time to “see what this baby can really do!”
Most people exhibit a mix of serious adult behavior, being child-like, and being childish. If a responsible adult “loses it” and smashes all the dishes, they will apologize; clean up the mess; buy new dishes. Rarely, we find a person who acts in a purely childish fashion. They will break the dishes and then, instead of apologizing, cleaning up the mess and buying new dishes, they will deny that they broke the dishes, blame others, and refuse to take any responsibility. Abusive parents and spouses fit into this category. But so do politicians who take a solemn oath of office to uphold the Constitution and then seek to overturn that Constitution that they swore to uphold. That is not being child-like. That is being childish.
And so is supporting such a person. To do so is to reject your own adult responsibilities.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will encourage East African leaders this week to boost security and political stability in a region threatened by al- Qaeda and growing in importance as a source of energy.
Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Uganda today as part of an 11-day tour that began in Senegal on July 31. She will meet leaders from Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia, countries essential to Washington’s strategy to fight Islamist militants and expand American economic interests.
“The dimension of security will be a central part of her visit,” Joseph Siegel, director of research at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, said in a phone interview from Washington on July 31. “The U.S. shares an interestin bringing stability to Somalia -- that’s a key point of focus -- and reducing the threat that terrorism poses regionally and internationally.”
The Horn of Africa nation’s Western-backed transitional government and an African Union-led military force are battling the Islamist insurgent group, al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda’s franchise in Somalia. The country has been without an effective central government since 1991 and Islamist militants, pirates and criminal groups have made it a regional base of operations.
Securing SomaliaAl-Shabaab, which has been trying to rule Somalia by strict Islamic law since 2007, has lost ground as the AU and Ethiopian troops stepped up a multi-front offensive against them to pave the way for Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed’sadministration to establish a permanent government.
“Somalia is the principal source of instability in the Horn of Africa and several East African states -- Uganda, Burundi, Kenya and Ethiopia -- have taken a lead in trying to stabilize the situation and have made more progress than we’ve seen in the last 20 years,” Siegel said. “Clinton will applaud that.”
The U.S. has killed al-Shabaab militants in special forces raids, offered $33 million in bounties for the capture of its leaders and supported the interim government, which yesterday passed a draft constitution despite suicide bombers’ attempts to blow up the venue where they met to vote.
In neighboring Kenya, Clinton and Ahmed will discuss a so- called political road map that includes a deadline to elect a new Somali parliament, speaker and president by Aug. 20. She will arrive on Aug. 4, according to the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.
She is also expected to meet with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki in Nairobi, the capital, to appeal for fair and peaceful elections set for March 2013. It will be the firstpoll since allegations of ballot fraud in a December 2007 vote set off two months of ethnic and political clashes that killed about 1,100 people and paralyzed East Africa’s largest economy.
East Africa is becoming a more favored destination for investment and a potential source of energy supplies for the U.S., Mwangi Kimenyi, director of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution, said by phone from Aspen, Colorado, on July 31. Uganda is expected to start pumping its first crude this year, while Kenya discovered oil for the first time in March.
“There is increasing commercial interest in East Africa from the U.S., which sees its national security interests tied to securing energy supplies,” Kimenyi said.
U.S. oil and gas companies are increasingly taking on acreage in East Africa. Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO) (MRO) paid $35 million to Africa Oil Corp. (AOI) for stakes in two Kenyan prospects last month, while Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) (APC), also based in Houston, has made the decade’s biggest gas discovery off Mozambique and has rights to explore off Kenya’s coast.
In South Sudan, which marked a year of independence from Sudan on July 9, Clinton will meet President Salva Kiir tomorrow to discuss topics including “security, oil and citizenship,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a July 30 statement.
Hostilities escalated in April as troops from South Sudan occupied the Heglig oilfield which is claimed by both, driving the two countries to the edge of war. Even though South Sudan withdrew after 10 days, the United Nations Security Council threatened to impose sanctions if differences over oil transit fees, borders and security aren’t settled by today.
In Uganda, Clinton will urge President Yoweri Museveni to strengthen democracy and human rights, while acknowledging the country’s role in boosting security including trying to hunt down warlord Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army, Nuland said. Uganda was also the first country to offer troops for the AU force in Somalia, and the U.S. sponsored training and equipment. She’ll arrive today, James Mugume, permanent secretary at Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said by telephone from Kampala, the capital.
The U.S. last year deployed 100 soldiers to help Uganda and neighboring armies find the LRA fighters, who also roam across South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
After a visit to Malawi and President Joyce Banda, Clinton will travel to sub-Saharan Africa’s largest economy where she will pay tribute to former South African president and anti- apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who turned 94 on July 18.
“South Africa is a key player in terms of governance, economic and humanitarian interests, peace and security,” Anne Fruhauf, an Africa analyst with Eurasia Group in London, said in an e-mailed response to questions on July 31. “Its recent win of the African Union presidency only reinforces this.”

Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment
Dr. Bussick was one of the founding members of the Kids First Clinic in Fort Wayne, IN.
Oral clefting occurs when the tissues of the lip and/or palate of a fetus don’t grow together early in pregnancy. Children with clefts often don’t have enough tissue in their mouths, and the tissue they do have isn’t fused together properly to form the roof of their mouths.
A cleft lip appears as a narrow opening or gap in the skin of the upper lip that extends all the way to the base of the nose. A cleft palate is an opening between the roof of the mouth and the nasal cavity. Some kids have clefts that extend through both the front and rear part of the palates, while others have only partial clefting.
The three common kinds of clefts are:
- cleft lip without a cleft palate
- cleft palate without a cleft lip
- cleft lip and cleft palate together
In addition, clefts can occur on one side of the mouth (unilateral clefting) or on both sides of the mouth (bilateral clefting).

PIXABAY, MOJZAGREBINFOIn animal studies, bouts of fasting are shown to protect against aging-related diseases, suggesting that periodic fasting may benefit humans, too. But to cut out food for days at a time is no easy feat for most people, so researchers have designed a diet that mimics fasting without making dieters completely abstain from eating.
A short-term study of the diet in a small group of people published today (June 18) in Cell Metabolism yielded promising results. Biomarkers predictive of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease risk dropped among participants on the fasting diet, compared to those who maintained their normal eating habits.
“This single dietary change can counteract all these variables of aging, and I think that’s very impressive,” molecular biologist Christopher Hine of the Harvard School of Public Health told Science.
The researchers who conducted the study did not actually measure whether people’s health improved. Valter Longo...
The diet consists of five continuous days of caloric restriction each month. Participants ate prepared foods of vegetable soups, energy bars and drinks, tea, and a supplement amounting to 1,090 calories on day one and 725 calories for each of the other four days. “It’s not like eating ravioli, but it is better than going without,” Longo told Science. The rest of the month the volunteers could eat normally.
In mice, a similar regime did show health benefits—in particular, longer lifespan, less bone loss, and fewer cancers.
“This is arguably the first non-chronic pre-clinically and clinically tested anti-aging and healthspan-promoting intervention shown to work and to be very feasible as a doctor or dietitian-supervised intervention,” Longo said in a press release.
Longo said clinical trials are planned to test the intervention among larger numbers of people. One of the questions Naveed Sattar, a professor at the University of Glasgow, raised was whether people can stick to it. “The best way to alter weight trajectory or to lose weight is to make permanent and sustainable changes in one’s dietary composition,” Sattar, who was not involved in the work, told The Telegraph. “This way, folk can eat three meals a day and still have total less calorie intake than they had previously. This, for me, is better for mind and body, and critically, more sustainable.”

Active Ingredient History
Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent with a spectrum of activity that is not fully characterized. Thalidomide is racemic — it contains both left and right-handed isomers in equal amounts: one enantiomer is effective against morning sickness, and the other is teratogenic. The enantiomers are converted to each other in vivo. That is, if a human is given D-thalidomide or L-thalidomide, both isomers can be found in the serum. Hence, administering only one enantiomer will not prevent the teratogenic effect in humans. In patients with erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) the mechanism of action is not fully understood. Available data from in vitro studies and preliminary clinical trials suggest that the immunologic effects of this compound can vary substantially under different conditions, but may be related to suppression of excessive tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) production and down-modulation of selected cell surface adhesion molecules involved in leukocyte migration. For example, administration of thalidomide has been reported to decrease circulating levels of TNF-a in patients with ENL, however, it has also been shown to increase plasma TNF-a levels in HIV-seropositive patients. As a cancer treatment, the drug may act as a VEGF inhibitor. Thalidomide is used for the acute treatment of the cutaneous manifestations of moderate to severe erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL). Also for use as maintenance therapy for prevention and suppression of the cutaneous manifestations of ENL recurrence. Thalidomide is sold under the brand name Immunoprin, among others. NCATS

CHCECE004: Promote and Provide Healthy Food and Drinks Course Assessment Answers
The CHCECE004 course is designed to create a healthier society through the promotion of healthy food and drinks. The course provides content on nutrition, health education, physical activity, and more. It also offers an opportunity for students to explore different areas of the food industry with a focus on developing skills in cooking, food safety, and hospitality service as well as business management.
Assessment Activity 1. Promote healthy eating
Most people are aware that being overweight is unhealthy and can lead to a host of other health problems. However, many people still struggle with the idea of what it means to be healthy.
A lot of the time, healthy eating is seen as boring or bland – but this couldn’t be further from the truth! Eating well doesn’t have to mean giving up your favorite foods or going hungry; in fact, it’s just about making small changes like swapping out high-fat ingredients for lower-calorie alternatives and adding more colorful vegetables and fruit into your diet.
1.2 Model, reinforce and implement healthy eating and nutrition practices with children during mealtimes
Model, reinforce and implement healthy eating and nutrition practices with children during mealtimes!
There is no better time to teach children about the model, reinforce and implement habits that are vital for health than when a child’s behaviors are emerging. A few simple steps you can take:
• Help prepare the meal so your child can understand how it is made. This will give them plenty of opportunities to help out in the kitchen!
• Sit down together at dinner as a family. Your child won’t be able to try new foods they don’t like if they only come home from school late or have just finished sports practice. Make sure there are plenty of vegetables on their plate!
• Mealtime should not be chaotic or rushed. Make sure everyone has enough time to eat and enjoy the food and drink that you have provided for them.
• Don’t let your child skip breakfast! It will make them hungry by lunchtime, which makes it more likely they will overeat at lunchtime and snack unhealthy things in between meals.
1.3 Support and guide children to eat healthy food
In order to be healthy, it’s important for children to eat right and get plenty of exercises. Key goals are elementary school children should learn how much food they need, where their food comes from and the importance of eating healthy foods in quantity rather than just a few very sensible ones.
In addition, schools need to create healthier environments that offer more fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods with less sugar or fat than traditional cafeteria fare. It is also key for elementary school-aged children to participate in daily physical activity of at least 60 minutes outside of school indoors–at recess or something as simple as hopping around the room during class time.
To encourage better eating habits among kids we can introduce lots more fruit like grapes, apples, bananas, and other colorful vegetables like carrots, broccoli, tomatoes to our kids’ diet.
1.4 Check that children have ready access to water and are offered healthy food and drinks regularly throughout the day
Children need to drink water throughout the day. Keep in mind they need an additional 1-2 glasses of liquid for every hour spent in physical education. In other words, if a child is active for two hours a day, she needs to drink 3 or 4 glasses of liquid while participating in this activity but also needs more if it’s hot outside.
As well as drinking plenty of water during playtime and school time, children should eat nutritiously—including healthy snacks such as raisins and nuts—and include foods high in both vitamin C and E (antioxidants) at each meal while avoiding sugar, fats like trans fat… etc.
1.5 Assist in ensuring that furniture and utensils are suitable to encourage children to be positively involved in and enjoy mealtimes
It is important to ensure that utensils at hand are easy to handle, and have a large enough reach. The best way for your loved one to be positively involved in and enjoy mealtimes for the best part of their life is through regular and considered use of specialist dementia living aids expert who can offer advice on what furniture you should look out for when looking into longer-term seating consideration after consulting your home care agency.
To make mealtime easier for seniors with limited chewing abilities or decreased food enjoyment, consider using special eating utensils. For example, you could try a long-handled spoon to place food into your loved one’s mouth without having to reach across the table.
Assessment Activity 2. Plan food and drinks that are nutritious and appropriate for each child
One of the most difficult parts about back to school is planning nutritious food and drinks for your children. The following blog post will provide you with a list of healthy snacks and beverages, as well as ideas on how to make sure that your child has enough energy throughout their day in order to focus at school.
The first section provides an overview of what a student’s diet should look like while they are in school: breakfast, lunch, snack time, and after-school snacks. It also provides some examples of foods that can be eaten during these times.
2.1 Within the scope of own work, ensure children are provided with food and drink consistent with the guidelines for healthy eating
Ensure children are provided with food and drink in a reasonable manner that is consistent with the guidelines for healthy eating.
Serving sizes should be adjusted accordingly, as indicated on various charts compiled by different organizations. Additionally, to ensure children get enough water (and it doesn’t just come out in the toilet), caffeinated drinks such as tea or coffee don’t count towards fluid needs but fruit juice and sodas do count towards fluid requirements. Understanding nutrition early sets them up for better health throughout life; if they’re less likely to develop chronic conditions at an earlier age then they’ll need less expensive medical care later on. Educating parents about how to best feed their child while at school can also result in more nutritious meals at home and the whole family eating better.
2.2 Read and interpret food labels and other information about food contents
Reading the label in food is easy, and can even be fun. Labels are labeled by law. There are two types of labels you may see on a food product and they serve different purposes.
One type is the ingredients list, which lists all of the components in a single package in descending order based on weight after cooking. For example, if sugar is listed first it is because more sugar than any other ingredient was added into that product when it was being manufactured, followed by fat or salt or whatever else was added to create that particular item.
The second type of label is nutrition facts and this details exactly what’s inside that box including how many teaspoons there are for each serving size as well as the number of calories per serving size, the amount of protein, fat and carbohydrate grams per serving size, and the amount of vitamins A and C as well as calcium and iron in each serving size.
2.3 Assist in providing education and support to families around healthy eating
There are numerous challenges and a lack of family support in regards to healthy eating. These prevent much youth from being accountable for their lifestyle, typically a barrier preventing them from reaching success.
The key is to understand what your specific child needs and why they’re struggling with their fitness and then find the right snack or meal that can fuel them up when otherwise they wouldn’t eat anything.
Moving more often also has long-term benefits that will carry through into adulthood because you’ll be able to maintain weight regulation, have better quality sleep, and decrease stress levels among other things which will ultimately lead to a longer life span.
For those who are looking for advice on how to get started with moving more try signing up for free group exercise classes like yoga or pilates or getting a trainer for a number of sessions to learn the basics, check out the ways people have found success in using these techniques by checking out books like No Sweat Workouts and then do your best to maintain it over time.
2.4 Assist to develop and display a cycle of written menus detailing the food that is provided to children
The school that I work in assists to develop and display a cycle of written menus detailing the food that is provided to children.
Along with the cycles of daily menus, I also help make sure there are always food items available for its students who experience medical conditions such as diabetes or allergies.
Upon first impressions, it may seem like this child does not have control over anything; they do not pass out pencils or wake up in the morning and choose what they want for school lunch. The truth is that many times it’s possible for them to dictate meal plans with their parents if it’s done well enough beforehand so that they’re still eating satisfactory.
Steps we take include providing one or two healthy snacks between meals, as well as suggestions on how to eat breakfast before they come into school, not after.
It’s important to provide meals that are tasty and nutritious, as well as providing new cooking ideas along with suggestions on ways to prepare food and have fun with it.

Assessment Activity 3. Maintain food safety while carrying out food-handling activities
It is important to maintain food safety when carrying out food-handling activities. Foodborne illnesses can have a negative impact on people’s health and can lead to death. This blog post provides information about how you can maintain food safety while carrying out food-handling activities.
The main point of this article is that there are many ways in which we interact with our environment daily, and for each interaction, there is the potential for contamination of some sort (including bacteria).
We need to be aware of these risks so as not to make any mistakes that could put our lives at risk or spread an illness unnecessarily! For example, if your children use the school bathroom then they may touch surfaces like door handles or toilet seats without washing their hands.
If the school does not supply hand sanitizer then your children will need to bring their own and be sure to use it regularly (which is something I do not always see done).
3.1 Assist in developing and maintaining food safety procedures according to relevant guidelines
When planning to ensure food safety, it is important to remember that there are many factors outside of the kitchen that can endanger the safety of food.
For example, inadequate handwashing can spread harmful bacteria and unrefrigerated meats or poultry may spoil before cooking time. Therefore, it is essential to follow all guidelines for storing raw meat and poultry in order to eliminate cross-contamination when preparing food.
Similarly, washing products thoroughly under cold running water with a vegetable scrubber will help remove potential contaminants such as dirt or animal waste from the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables. Finally, milk should always be refrigerated once opened while eggs should always be stored in an airtight container like a cloth napkin or plastic wrap.
3.2 Within the scope of own work role, carry out food handling, preparation, and storage according to service policies and procedures and regulatory requirements.
Within the scope of own work role, carry out food handling, preparation, and storage in accordance with service policies and procedures and regulatory requirements.
The first step to maintaining standards of food hygiene is adhering to the strict rules set by government legislation of how you should behave in a kitchen.
This includes rigorous training for staff on good techniques such as washing hands thoroughly before starting work; shredding vegetables rather than peeling them or using ready-prepared salads, and storing finished dishes below the temperature needed for bacterial growth (still warm but not hot).
The Food Standards Agency sets out what these levels are depending on the type of dish – cold starters at 6°C or lower but hot ones hotter so that food does not become a breeding ground for unwanted bacteria.
3.3 Follow food safety procedures when preparing food
Your food is only safe if you prepare it correctly and follow the procedures. It’s important to wash your hands with warm water and soap before preparing any food, for example.
When handling raw chicken, avoid exposing it to the air for too long as this will increase bacteria on the surface of the meat. Make sure to thoroughly clean anything else that has been in contact with raw meat in order to ensure that bacteria do not cross-contaminate other foods or surfaces.
Finally, always discard leftovers immediately after time expires (within 4 hours), even if they were heated up – cold stored products go bad more quickly than their counterparts are many ways and certain fresh produce parts like lettuce leaves may have bacteria on them already due to their natural willingness and are difficult to wash clean.

British actor and author Stephen Fry has revealed that he has undergone treatment for prostate cancer.
The 60-year-old explained in a video message that he had been diagnosed with an “aggressive” form of the disease and underwent surgery to remove 11 lymph nodes in January.
He said doctors offered him the option of radiotherapy – “a long and difficult process” – or having his prostate removed.
He chose to have surgery and said he is now recovering as the cancer “doesn’t seem to have spread” beyond the prostate.
“It doesn’t seem to have spread because what you don’t want is it to spread from one area to another, but one of the lymph nodes had something that called for active surveillance,” he said.
“It’s a bit of a business having an operation like that. There are five holes punctured in you, it’s like being stabbed five times … to the body, it’s the same traumatic effect. It’s all pretty undignified and unfortunate.
“So far as we know, it’s all been got… But if there’s anything left on the bed of the prostate where they’ve taken it out, it may have spread and I’ll have to get radiotherapy and the whole damn thing will start again. But for the moment I’m fit and well and happy.”
Fry thanked his family and husband Elliott Spencer, whom he married in 2015, but admitted he was struggling to come to terms with the phrase “I’ve got cancer”.
“Cancer is a word that rings in your head; ‘Good heavens Stephen, you’re not supposed to have cancer,'” he said.
“I know it’s a cliche but you don’t think it will happen to you. Cancer is something happens to other people.”
Fry said early intervention likely saved his life and urged all “men of a certain age” to get checked by their doctor.
“I’m bloody lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people, and I’m lucky to have an immune system, because that’s the real hero,” he said.
“Here’s hoping I’ve got another few years left on this planet because I enjoy life at the moment. That’s a marvellous thing to be able to say, and I’d rather it didn’t go away.”

What to Do When the Check Engine Light Comes On
Your vehicle’s dashboard is full of lights that go on from warnings to reminders. When these lights illuminate, few people understand the full meaning of them. The check engine light can be caused by many different things. But this warning sign should never be ignored. So, what should you do and what does the check engine light mean? Here are some reasons the check engine light comes on and what to do when it does.
What does the check engine light on your dashboard mean?
Just because the warning of the check engine light comes on doesn’t always warrant immediate concern. If it turns on when you’re driving, you typically don’t need to pull over and call for help. This light serves as a sign that it’s time to get to a mechanic soon. The check engine light is a part of your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics system, which monitors different variables like engine speed, fuel mixture, and ignition timing and when it detects a problem it responds by turning on the check engine light.
Reasons the check engine light comes on
Your check engine light may be caused by several reasons, but if you have been experiencing issues with your car's engine then there is probably an issue. There can be minor problems such as misfires in the short term which will cause poor fuel economy and performance however it might develop into engine failure later down the road if left unchecked.
Your vehicle’s transmission is the master of its engine’s power output and can trigger the check engine light to come on if it malfunctions. Transmission and engine problems can lead to an increase in tailpipe emissions.
Damaged or loose parts
Any vehicle parts that are loose, damaged, worn, or missing will trigger the check engine light to come on. Loose gas caps are a very common example of this, but it does not pose any problems to your vehicle.
A vehicle’s engine has many sensors such as airflow sensors and oxygen sensors. If your diagnostics system detects faults in any of them, the check engine light will come on.
To ensure your car’s engine stays cool, your coolant should be changed properly, or it can cause your engine’s thermostat to eventually degrade, which can overheat the engine. When it overheats your check engine light will activate.
What to do when the check engine light comes on
Turn your car on and off
You can try to reset your vehicle’s trouble codes by turning the car on and off three times consecutively to see if it works. This is worth a try before taking your car in for service.
Check for a loose gas cap
This common issue is the easiest to fix by simply checking and tightening your gas cap. After doing this it may require several trips before the light resets and turns off.
Perform a diagnostic test
Many newer model cars come equipped with onboard remote diagnostics systems. When problems are detected, the system can report trouble codes and schedule service appointments accordingly.
Lower your speed
If the check engine light blinks on while driving, your first response should be to reduce the strain on your engine. Try lowering the speed to help. This is extremely important if the check engine light is blinking or is red, which indicates a more urgent issue.
You can lower the strain on your engine by reducing the haul it’s carrying or by stopping any towing.
Visit a reliable mechanic
If you are unable to figure out the reason your check engine light is on, then you should take your vehicle in for a diagnosis as soon as possible to a reliable shop.
If your check engine light comes on, don't panic. There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue and determine if it's something you can fix yourself or if you need to take it to a repair shop. The most important thing is not to ignore the light, it means there's an issue that needs to be addressed. So, if you see the warning light come on and you don’t know what to do, call us at Best Western Transmission today. We can help you diagnose and fix the problem so you can get your car back on the road.

In November 2012 nearly three hectares of different types of oak and hazelnut trees were planted. The roots of these trees were impregnated with truffle spores before being planted in the meadow surrounding the church, along with five other local plant varieties, in a design that will one day resemble a large park. Guests are encouraged to take advantage of the walks down to the steam running through the bottom of the valley as well as throughout the estate on mapped walking tracks. The walking tracks meander through the valley and allow guests to admire the different views of what is one of Italy’s most beautiful valleys.

“One year after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, President Biden has signed into law an historic piece of legislation that will bring true relief to American families who have been shouldering insurmountable burdens. The American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion dollar relief package, is policy with heart that responds to what women and families need right now.
“The COVID-19 crisis has shone a spotlight on problems in our infrastructure that have been ignored for far too long. Women, particularly women of color, have been hammered by a caregiving crisis that has pushed them out of the workforce in record numbers. Public health disparities exacerbated by systemic racism have been laid bare as this virus has disproportionately taken the lives of Black and Latinx Americans. The promise of the American Rescue Plan is a downpayment toward a more equitable future that will allow all Americans to pursue whole, healthy, economically-secure lives.
“The American Rescue Plan creates much needed pathways to health coverage for those who need it most by making premiums more affordable for plans under the Affordable Care Act and for the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and by strengthening the Medicaid program, which is the largest payer for women’s health. It also ensures people can get the life-saving vaccines they need by providing necessary, expanded funding for equitable distribution, particularly for communities who have been hit hardest by the pandemic.
“For decades, the National Partnership has fought for paid family and medical leave and paid sick days. The American Rescue Plan prioritizes families and public health by extending and expanding the emergency paid sick leave and paid family leave tax credits. These tax credits will allow employers to continue providing these benefits to their employees who need time off to care for themselves and their families. It also allows these tax credits for our state and local public servants, provides emergency paid leave for federal employees, and ensures emergency paid leave for federal contractors. Together, these provisions are a big step toward the permanent, universal, comprehensive paid leave American workers deserve. Additionally, direct payments to American families will help alleviate some of the financial burdens brought on by job loss, increasing healthcare bills and other unexpected expenses. Most notably, the plan includes an expanded and improved Child Tax Credit that could cut child poverty in half.
“The plan prioritizes funding for a caregiving infrastructure that will give women the support they need to rejoin the workforce. A $39 billion investment in childcare could save thousands of providers from permanent closure. $450 billion invested in Medicaid home and community-based services will make it possible for people with disabilities and older adults to receive long-term services and support in their homes.
“The National Partnership is heartened to work with an administration that understands supporting the stability of our nation’s women and families is essential to the long-term health and economic security of our country. We applaud the Biden-Harris Administration and Congressional leaders for their demonstrated commitment toward delivering results for America’s women. This relief package is a first step with measurable impact that lays important groundwork for lasting, equitable change. It’s policy that meets the needs of the people our officials were elected to serve. Thank you to the community leaders, partners and congressional champions who worked to make sure this relief gets to the American people.”
About the National Partnership
The National Partnership for Women & Families is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy group dedicated to promoting fairness in the workplace, reproductive health and rights, access to quality, affordable health care and policies that help all people meet the dual demands of work and family.

What is a Sales Territory
A sales territory is defined as a definite section of customers for which a seller has a direct accountability. The core objective of this sales territory is achieving a systematic exposure of the market; it also enables the establishment of the accountability of the sales person. It can also be used to assess performance of the company’s business; the sales territory is applied in most companies to advance the customer affairs and also to trim down the sales expenses and thus enhancing more benefits of the salesperson and the organisation at large through the sales of the products.
Though our is a highly technically driven company, with a market place being the 50 United States in which our company’s mission is to supply and sell its products to the consumers in the region, the company’s market has been realized to have dropped in the last few years, as a company’s Sales and Marketing Department we have decide to undertake a decision making process that is meant to define the actual tactics to be utilized in achieving our goals.
For the sales management team to come up with a clear sales territory we should ensure that it involves a process known as a marketing mix, which carries four elements including; Product this is where the company’s aim will be to define the characteristics of its products that will enable the goods to meet the consumers needs, Price this is the decision on how the company should price its products, Promotion this is a process through which we should make our products known to our customers, and lastly the Place element which is the mechanism through which the goods of our company will be moved from the company to the consumers.
For our company to achieve recognition of the products through which our marketing opportunities have chances to increase, then we should be able to have our target consumers, this is normally achieved depending on the following factors; the consumers desires and preferences for our products, geographical factors , location, gender and also age, these factors should be determined before we make a decision on a particular market segmentation, which will later give our products a marketing opportunity.
This segmentation should match differences in the buying behavior of our customers under which, we should also consider the product competition in the market by stating plans on how our company is going to overcome the competitors strength, through which we should analyze the number of competitors, their size, location and their strengths and weaknesses in the market.
For the sales territory to be successful our sales manager should come up with a marketing strategy which is usually defined as a pattern of activities that seek to achieve the objective of our company and adopt its scope, resources and operations to environmental changes, it is normally a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. A strategy distinguishes a course of action by its hypothesis that a certain future position offers an advantage of acquiring a gain. This pattern is normally presented in various categories which should be highly considered while creating the sales territories in our company, this include:
This is a predefined set of rules to be applied by, traders, investment firms and the fund managers use this strategy to help them make wiser investment decisions and eliminate the emotional aspect of trading. It wraps trading formulas into automated order and execution systems where all or part of the firms investment portfolio.
This strategy is governed by rules that do not deviate, based on anything other than marketing action; this strategy eliminates emotions bias because the systems operate within the parameters known by our company. There are two types of this trading strategy: the first one being the Static trading strategy-this is where our company only needs to trade at the beginning and at the end to ensure the payoff, the other type is the dynamic trading strategy which is normally applied between the start and the maturity of the derivative, here we need to trade more than once to ensure the payoff at maturity.
This is typically directed to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services, this strategy have been applied to fields that involve people making choices in a social context. This normally relies on the following collection of economic data which consists of measurable values of prices and changes in prices, for measurable commodities for example the cost of a particular commodity and how much of it is being used.
Formulation of models of economic relationships for example the relationship between the general level of prices and the general level of employment including the observable forms of economic activity such as money, consumption, preferences, buying, selling and prices.
The sales manager should also apply the marketing strategy which is a planning process that allows an organization to concentrate its resources on the greatest opportunities, so as to increase the sales of its products and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. It serves as the fundamental underpinning of marketing plans designed to reach an organizations marketing goals, policies and action tactics into a cohesive whole.
This strategy is presented in various types including: Strategies based on market dominance, under this form organizations are classified based on the market share or dominance of organization they are as follows, leader, challenger and follower. And the second is the Porter generic strategies this is a strategy on the dimensions of the strategic scope meaning the market penetration and strategic strength referring to the firms, sustainable competitive advantage such as cost leadership, product differentiation and market segmentation. The company sales management team should also consider the innovation strategy which normally deals with the firm’s rate of new product development and business model innovation. It should come up with a growth strategy which can be used to describe how the firm should grow.
The other kind of strategies to be used is the digital strategy which is used to specify an organization’s visions, initiatives and processes in order to deploy its’ online assets including: websites, digital audio and video content, rich internet applications, community groups, banner advertisements in a manner that maximizes the business benefits they provide to the organization. This plan is normally presented in three ways:-identifying key opportunities or challenges in a business where online assets can provide a solution:-identifying the unmet needs and goals of the customers that align with key business opportunities and lastly developing a vision on how the assets will fulfil the business and customer needs, goals, opportunities and challenges.
The other factor that should be considered for the company to have a good supply of its product is the Geostrategy this is the strategy concerned with geographic direction of state’s foreign policy, it describes a foreign policy thrust of state and does not deal with motivation or decision making processes, therefore, it is not motivated by any geographic or geopolitical factors. Under this strategy a state may project power to a location because of ideological reasons, interest groups or the wish of the leader. It is more often used in a global context denoting the consideration of global land sea distribution, distances and accessibility among other geographical factors.
This is the strategy typically directed by the political leadership of a particular country with input from the most senior military officials. It is normally put at the level of movement and use of an entire state resource such as the general types of armaments to favour manufacturing and which international alliances best suit national goals. This strategy overlaps with foreign policies but focuses primarily on the military implications of policy. Because of its scope and the number of different people and groups involved this strategy is usually a matter of public record though the details of implementations are always concealed.
The place or the channel of distribution should also be considered, these are the activities to be used by our company to move its product from the production to consumption, innocent has to come across various channels of distribution to enable our products reach the targeted market this means that we should choose either to use the direct or the indirect channels that is it may be to the consumers directly or through wholesalers. We should consider the following in order to decide on the type of the distribution channel we are to use; we should know the market segment that the distributor is familiar with in which the distributor must be familiar with our company’s target markets. We should also know if our company policies, strategies and image match with that of the distributor, we should also check on the qualification of the distributor by establishing his experiences and deciding on how much training and support we should give the distributor.
There are various types of channels that we can decide on which one to apply in the distribution of our products, this include: wholesalers, these are said to be buying goods in bulk from our company and selling them in smaller packages for resale by the retailers, they can also provide storage facilities for our products, wholesalers will offer our company a reduced physical contact cost between us the producers and our consumers. The second channel that our company may use is the agents who are normally used in international markets; they may be used to widen the international market for our goods. We can also use retailers; who will have a strong personal relationship with our consumers.

The Book Artist and the Archivist: A Shared Perspective
¶ 1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 Designing and producing an artists’ book is akin to processing an archival collection—one takes “raw” material and creates a system of order so others can access that information. While the end products may appear different, it is possible to argue that an archival box, full of intentionally arranged documents, is an object of Book Art intended for interpretation by others. In my roles as book artist and burgeoning archivist, I’m drawn to the parallels between the two fields, including the physical and intellectual arrangement of content, the promotion and preservation of history, and the physical and conceptual evidence of the people behind the objects of creation.
¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 I consider myself a book artist: relying on both the paratextual and textual elements of books, I employ a range of book structures, imagery, and text to convey meaning. This is an oversimplification of the nature of Book Arts; the field itself is astoundingly diverse and tends to resist strict boundaries. My work usually incorporates letterpress printing off of handset metal type, photosensitive polymer plates, carved linoleum, and found objects. The book structures I use range from codices to expansive accordions to loose sheets housed in a box; occasionally they contain pop-up and movable elements.
¶ 4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 During the conceptualization and design stages of producing an artists’ book, I am interested in the possibilities inherent in indeterminacies related to ideas of organization and categorization. An artists’ book allows me to play with and even subvert the conventions of traditional books. I’m continually questioning the relationship between material, text, image, and structure because text doesn’t need to be structured into semantically or syntactically correct sentences, nor do images need to be directly illustrative. Through the seemingly limitless possibilities of the arrangement and placement of text, and the grouping of outwardly disjunctive images, I ask the future reader to find meaning in a new system of organizing and categorizing information. Simultaneously, I’m aware that the further away I move from convention, the greater the possibility of ostracizing my audience.
¶ 5 Leave a comment on paragraph 5 0 In reaction to the multitude of choices regarding material, structure, content, and layout when creating an artists’ book, there’s a sense of rigidity in how I approach designing, planning, and producing a final piece. I tend to create a system of organization and categorization and only allow myself latitude within the chosen system. Though I may be subverting traditional text and image conventions, the system I choose must be accessible to future readers. Establishing and following tight parameters makes it easier to convey the organizational system I’ve constructed. Visually, I impose grids on all of my work, which gives me a sense of direction because I am able to move text and images along set lines and units, constantly assessing if elements of the page should move left, right, up or down. The grid, though arbitrary in its own creation and existence, helps establish a structure to work within.
¶ 7 Leave a comment on paragraph 7 0 My systematic approach to designing and executing a work emerges from a desire to organize, categorize, digest, and convey information. In my work at the Iowa Women’s Archives at the University of Iowa, I’m accessioning, processing, and writing finding aids for collections, striving to organize a range of materials including personal correspondence, photographs, and artifacts. Just as I question the ways in which my organizing information affects readers when designing an artists’ book, when processing an archival collection I’m constantly evaluating how my organizing and categorizing impact a future researcher’s ability to access and process information. Designing an artists’ book is never a neutral act, nor is processing a collection. The life of an individual, family, or organization is often a complicated narrative and the items we receive in archives reflect that complexity: papers and artifacts accrue and overlap in chronology and subject matter. Recently, while processing an individual’s papers I struggled with deciding how to organize the people and events that were reflected in a large tub of disorganized photos. The individual, family members, friends, and coworkers appeared in multiple configurations in hundreds of photos that covered a seven-decade span. Depending on how I grouped the photos, I could be emphasizing the individual’s family life over their professional life, certain life events over friendships. Though all the photos, no matter how they were grouped, would be accessible to a researcher, they would be presented in a certain order that would betray my own biases and decisions when organizing the photographs.
¶ 8 Leave a comment on paragraph 8 0 While the fields of book artist and archive professional are inherently linked through the desire to organize and arrange information, the importance of the preservation and promotion of history in both is equally apparent. In Book Arts it is often lamented that we use obsolete technology, not only limited to the printing press but to a whole arsenal of tools, techniques, and equipment. While we are using these artifacts and processes to create our art, we are concurrently promoting public awareness of print and book history, equipment, and technology that, for example, can be seen in the growing popularity of letterpress-printed wedding invitations and stationary. Though it is personally important to me to use “obsolete technology” such as hand printing or hand binding in each of my pieces, the nod to history emerges in ways beyond physical production. In designing my artists’ books I’m acutely aware of how my breaking with convention might alert a reader to differences between what I’ve created and historically based traditions such as rectangular text blocks or books being paged consecutively from right to left. If I’m trying to convey a textual narrative, it’s not lightly that I eschew the (Western) tradition of reading left to right and from top to bottom.
¶ 9 Leave a comment on paragraph 9 0 Promoting the history of book and print technologies is self-serving because it promotes interests in Book Arts itself—hopefully inspiring new artists, garnering more collectors and enthusiasts, and drawing attention from scholars. This desire to share is similar to that found in archives. Archivists are continually brainstorming how to promote historical materials and documents to a wider audience in order to attract more scholars, researchers, and material. It is not surprising that social media has become a widespread tool to advertise materials held in archival collections. At the Iowa Women’s Archives I have a colleague who actively posts images and papers to our Tumblr site, specifically on “Women’s History Wednesdays,” in an effort to reach a broader and more eclectic constituency. In editing posts, I have experienced how difficult it is to represent a collection through brief written descriptions and one or two relatively decontextualized images. Though this type of advertisement can appear to pander to superficial interests and followers, we have gained a following of people who have been able to contribute information about papers and objects in our collections that we were not aware of. In promoting the more eye-catching artifacts and papers we collect in the archives, we are hopefully piquing interest in the provenance and narratives surrounding these items and more broadly in the collections themselves. Ultimately, the book artist is interested in the fruits of their labor entering the public sphere, so too is the archivist interested in the fruits of their labor entering (or re-entering) the world.
¶ 10 Leave a comment on paragraph 10 0 Most recently in my book arts practice I have been exploring the relationship between human processes and machine processes. To make a long history brief, book making began with highly skilled craftspeople, entered a period of rapid industrialization, then mechanization, and has now landed in a digital landscape where e-books and print-on-demand have become standard. I’m acutely aware of my own hand pulling prints and sewing bindings as I make my work, but I’m also aware that many book artists, including me, take advantage of digital design and production technology. No matter the mode of production, what draws me into artists’ books and into making my own books are the human elements made apparent through more abstract expressions like narrative, intention, and meaning, and sometimes in physical traits such as handmade paper or hand sewn bindings. Having the experience of pulling my own sheets of paper from a vat of pulp or spending hours pulling thread through paper draws me closer to the books I create. Likewise, when I’m processing collections in the archives, I can’t help but be drawn to the handwritten letters, braided locks of hair, and carefully hand-assembled scrapbooks that are constant reminders of the people who sat down to write those letters, carefully cut their hair, and paste photos into albums. Using the physical products of human creation as points of entry and connection, I’m able to delve more deeply into the lives of the individuals and organizations collected in the archives. In archives, we are moving toward digital database-management systems to allow for more accurate searching and more widely available information. These systems are merely tools to more easily reach the human lives represented through the papers, artifacts, and documents neatly arranged and housed in boxes in closed stacks.
¶ 11 Leave a comment on paragraph 11 0 Though I don’t want to make the argument that all archivists are book artists, or vice versa, I do think the perspectives on information overlap in a way that makes it natural to step between fields. The ways in which I conceptualize designing an artists’ book are the same ways in which I conceptualize organizing materials in archival collections. The elements of history and tradition inherent in creating any book work are also inherent in all archival collections. Most significantly, the life and emotions of the artist evident in all artists’ books are paralleled by the evidence of life and emotion found in the papers and artifacts in the archives.

Today, December 1st, is World AIDS Day. It’s a day to acknowledge the progress that is being made in HIV prevention and treatment around the world but also to renew our commitment to a future free of HIV. This year’s theme is Leadership. Commitment. Impact. At CIRM we are funding a number of projects focused on HIV/AIDS, so we asked Jeff Sheehy, the patient advocate for HIV/AIDS on the CIRM Board to offer his perspective on the fight against the virus.
At CIRM we talk about and hope for cures, but our actual mission is “accelerating stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs.”
For those of us in the HIV/AIDS community, we are tremendously excited about finding a cure for HIV. We have the example of Timothy Brown, aka the “Berlin Patient”, the only person cured of HIV.
Multiple Shots on Goal
Different approaches to a cure are under investigation with multiple clinical trials. CIRM is funding three clinical trials using cell/gene therapy in attempts to genetically modify blood forming stem cells to resist infection with HIV. While we hope this leads to a cure, community activists have come together to urge a look at something short of a “home run.”
A subset of HIV patients go on treatment, control the virus in their blood to the point where it can’t be detected by common diagnostic tests, but never see their crucial immune fighting CD4 T cells return to normal levels after decimation by HIV.
For instance, I have been on antiretroviral therapy since 1997. My CD4 T cells had dropped precipitously, dangerous close to the level of 200. At that level, I would have had an AIDS diagnosis and would have been extremely vulnerable to a whole host of opportunistic infections. Fortunately, my virus was controlled within a few weeks and within a year, my CD T cells had returned to normal levels.
For the immunological non-responders I described above, that doesn’t happen. So while the virus is under control, their T cell counts remain low and they are very susceptible to opportunistic infections and are at much greater risk of dying.
Immunological non-responders (INRs) are usually patients who had AIDS when they were diagnosed, meaning they presented with very low CD4 T cell counts. Many are also older. We had hoped that with frequent testing, treatment upon diagnosis and robust healthcare systems, this population would be less of a factor. Yet in San Francisco with its very comprehensive and sophisticated testing and treatment protocols, 16% of newly diagnosed patients in 2015 had full blown AIDS.
Until we make greater progress in testing and treating people with HIV, we can expect to see immunological non-responders who will experience sub-optimal health outcomes and who will be more difficult to treat and keep alive.
Boosting the Immune System
A major cell/gene trial for HIV targeted this population. Their obvious unmet medical need and their greater morbidity/mortality balanced the risks of first in man gene therapy. Sangamo, a CIRM grantee, used zinc finger nucleases to snip out a receptor, CCR5, on the surface of CD4 T cells taken from INR patients. That receptor is a door that HIV uses to enter cells. Some people naturally lack the receptor and usually are unable to be infected with HIV. The Berlin Patient had his entire immune system replaced with cells from someone lacking CCR5.
Most of the patients in that first trial saw their CD4 T cells rise sharply. The amount of HIV circulating in their gut decreased. They experienced a high degree of modification and persistence in T stem cells, which replenish the T cell population. And most importantly, some who regularly experienced opportunistic infections such as my friend and study participant Matt Sharp who came down with pneumonia every winter, had several healthy seasons.
Unfortunately, the drive for a cure pushed development of the product in a different direction. This is in large part to regulatory challenges. A prior trial started in the late 90’s by Chiron tested a cytokine, IL 2, to see if administering it could increase T cells. It did, but proving that these new T cells did anything was illusive and development ceased. Another cytokine, IL 7, was moving down the development pathway when the company developing it, Cytheris, ceased business. The pivotal trial would have required enrolling 4,000 participants, a daunting and expensive prospect. This was due to the need to demonstrate clinical impact of the new cells in a diverse group of patients.
Given the unmet need, HIV activists have looked at the Sangamo trial, amongst others, and have initiated a dialogue with the FDA. Activists are exploring seeking orphan drug status since the population of INRs is relatively small.
Charting a New Course
They have also discussed trial designs looking at markers of immune activity and discussed potentially identifying a segment of INRs where clinical efficacy could be shown with far, far fewer participants.
Activists are calling for companies to join them in developing products for INRs. I’ve included the press release issued yesterday by community advocates below.
With the collaboration of the HIV activist community, this could be a unique opportunity for cell/gene companies to actually get a therapy through the FDA. On this World AIDS Day, let’s consider the value of a solid single that serves patients in need while work continues on the home run.
NEWS RELEASE: HIV Activists Seek to Accelerate Development of Immune Enhancing Therapies for Immunologic Non-Responders.
Dialogues with FDA, scientists and industry encourage consideration of orphan drug designations for therapies to help the immunologic non-responder population and exploration of novel endpoints to reduce the size of efficacy trials.
November 30, 2016 – A coalition of HIV/AIDS activists are calling for renewed attention to HIV-positive people termed immunologic non-responders (INRs), who experience sub-optimal immune system reconstitution despite years of viral load suppression by antiretroviral therapy. Studies have shown that INR patients remain at increased risk of illness and death compared to HIV-positive people who have better restoration of immune function on current drug therapies. Risk factors for becoming an INR include older age and a low CD4 count at the time of treatment initiation. To date, efforts to develop immune enhancing interventions for this population have proven challenging, despite some candidates from small companies showing signs of promise.
“We believe there is an urgent need to find ways to encourage and accelerate development of therapies to reduce the health risks faced by INR patients,” stated Nelson Vergel of the Program for Wellness Restoration (PoWeR), who initiated the activist coalition. “For example, Orphan Drug designations[i] could be granted to encourage faster-track approval of promising therapies. These interventions may eventually help not only INRs but also people with other immune deficiency conditions”.
Along with funding, a major challenge for approval of any potential therapy is proving its efficacy. While INRs face significantly increased risk of serious morbidities and mortality compared to HIV-positive individuals with more robust immune reconstitution, demonstrating a reduction in the incidence of these outcomes would likely require expensive and lengthy clinical trials involving thousands of individuals. Activists are therefore encouraging the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), industry and researchers to evaluate potential surrogate markers of efficacy such as relative improvements in clinical problems that may be more frequent in INR patients, such as upper respiratory infections, gastrointestinal disease, and other health issues.
“Given the risks faced by INR patients, every effort should be made to assess whether less burdensome pathways toward approval are feasible, without compromising the regulatory requirement for compelling evidence of safety and efficacy”, said Richard Jefferys of the Treatment Action Group.
The coalition is advocating that scientists, biotech and pharmaceutical companies pursue therapeutic candidates for INRs. For example, while gene and anti-inflammatory therapies for HIV are being assessed in the context of cure research, there is also evidence that they may have potential to promote immune reconstitution and reduce markers associated with risk of morbidity and mortality in INR patients. Therapeutic research should also be accompanied by robust study of the etiology and mechanisms of sub-optimal immune responses.
“While there is, appropriately, a major research focus on curing HIV, we must be alert to evidence that candidate therapies could have benefits for INR patients, and be willing to study them in this context”, argued Matt Sharp, a coalition member and INR who experienced enhanced immune reconstitution and improved health and quality of life after receiving an experimental gene therapy.
The coalition has held an initial conference call with FDA to discuss the issue. Minutes are available online.
The coalition is now aiming to convene a broader dialogue with various drug companies on the development of therapies for INR patients. Stakeholders who are interested in becoming involved are encouraged to contact coalition representatives.

Is lo mein and fried rice healthy?
Healthiest side items Typical side dishes like fried rice, lo mein noodles, crab rangoon, and egg rolls are high in calories — and fat. Healthier choices include steamed brown rice, sautéed or steamed vegetables, spring rolls, or soups like egg drop soup or hot and sour soup.
Which is less calories lo mein or fried rice?
White rice: Even plain steamed rice can add more than 420 carb-packed calories to any entrée. Fried rice: An order adds more than 1,200 calories. Lo mein and chow mein: Each pack in about 1,000 high-fat, high-carb calories per plate.
Is lo mein really bad for you?
Avoid:Lo Mein The noodles are refined carbohydrates that do nothing for your health, but do a lot for your waistline. Lo mein often comes in an oil-drenched sauce, increasing its sodium, fat, and calorie count. If you’re really craving it, try these healthier lo mein recipes that you can make at home.
Why you should never order lo mein?
Lo mein is basically just really greasy pasta. Chinese food (or the kind we’re accustomed to in America, at least) is loaded with oil, salt, and sugar, and lots of it also deep-fried.
Why Chinese food is bad?
Chinese food can be high in sodium, sugar, and trans fats General Tso’s chicken and other Chinese dishes are often loaded with sodium, sugar, and trans fats. Some specialties also contain monosodium glutamate (MSG), a potentially harmful food additive (via the Mayo Clinic).

Is chow mein healthier than rice?
Rice & Noodles – Avoid The Steamed White Rice has 420 “empty” calories. The Fried Rice has 570 calories (the extra calories are from fat) and 900mg sodium. The Chow Mein has fewer calories (400), but has way too much sodium (1,060mg!).
Why is fried rice bad for you?
You might want to think twice before eating fried or leftover rice, health experts say. That’s because some types of dry food, including rice and pasta, contain a bacterium called Bacillus cereus that produces a toxin when heated and left out too long, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Is lo mein actually Chinese?
Lo mein (traditional Chinese: 撈麵/撈麪; simplified Chinese: 捞面; Cantonese Yale: lou1 min6; pinyin: lāo miàn) is a Chinese dish with egg noodles. It often contains vegetables and some type of meat or seafood, usually beef, chicken, pork, or shrimp.
What tastes better lo mein or chow mein?
It all comes down to your personal taste. Soft lo mein noodles soak up more of the sauce. On the other hand, you can get a greater variety of texture in a chow mein dish. For example, crunchy noodles and celery could be combined with soft mushrooms, bean sprouts, and juicy tomatoes.
What is house special lo mein?
Stir fried Cantonese noodles with Chicken, Shrimp, Beef, and vegetables served in a light sauce. Large. 13.50.
Why is Chinese food so cheap?
Frequently, foods made in Asia are sold very inexpensively in their home country due to weak branding, low labor costs and extreme price competition. This bruising competition is carried abroad at every stage in the wholesale chain keeping prices low.

The ZEISS Milvus 1.4/25 is the latest focal length to be added to ZEISS’s largest range of lenses for full-frame single-lens reflex cameras. The wide-angle focal length makes it ideal for everything from landscape to video.
ZEISS continues to expand its family of Milvus lenses, now with the ZEISS Milvus 1.4/25, which was developed for the DSLR systems from Canon and Nikon. Suitable primarily for landscape and architecture photography, and for journalistic shots and videos, the new lens offers, according to Christophe Casenave, Product Manager at ZEISS, a “completely new optical design ensures superior performance across the entire image field” which “results in high-contrast photos and a harmonious bokeh.”
Thanks to a maximum aperture of 1.4, this lens can even capture exceptional images in poor light. “Even at full aperture, there are hardly any color fringes,” says Casenave. “The finest details can be reproduced in high definition and contrast all the way into the corners.” The metal housing is what makes the lens robust, and its dirt and dust protection even makes the ZEISS Milvus 1.4/25 ready for action in adverse weather. The large 172-degree focus rotation angle enables precise manual focusing for adding creative touches to photos and videos.
The Milvus is the largest ZEISS lens family yet. Featuring eleven focal lengths ranging from 15 to 135 millimeters, including two macros, the ZEISS Milvus family covers a host of applications, such as portrait, landscape, architecture and street photography. “We can offer every photographer just the right lens,” says Casenave.
From the whole Milvus family, videographers have four lenses which are just perfect for filming: the 25, 35, 50 and 85 millimeters focal lenghts, with an aperture of 1.4. Thanks to their high speed, they are suitable primarily for interviews and documentaries where the videographer can utilize natural light. Thanks to the de-click function in the version for the Nikon-Mount the aperture can be adjusted continuously. ZEISS Lens Gears, available in a range of sizes permit the use of follow-focus systems.
With its new wide-angle focal length, the ZEISS Milvus family now boasts eleven lenses for single-lens reflex cameras, including four focal lengths with a maximum aperture of 1.4, which are perfect for videographers too.
The ZEISS Milvus 1.4/25 retails for $2.399 and will be available starting 2 November 2017 at dealers and from the ZEISS online shop.

This stunning work of 1970s Modernist design is by Jlkra [also known as Ilkra] Keramik.
The form carries both Modernist and Atomic design influences in its shape of a beautifully tapered cone and the angular handle accent. The highly tactile decor running down the main body are trails of overlapping ridges in raised relief. The semi-matte glaze is a sumptuous mottled and milky Mocha that is overlaid with a deeper Mocha brown mottled with pale blue. The wonderful exterior glaze is further complemented by the turquoise glaze on the interior.
This piece makes an elegant and sleek addition and would suit a room with Vintage, Mid Century or Modernist theme inspired decor.
Excellent. No chips, cracks or repairs; there are signs of light use wear in the interior of the vase, commensurate with the age of the piece. Please see photos as they form part of the condition report. The underside is marked with the model number '2001/25'.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Ilkra Edelkeramik JL Knödgen. (1892 -)
Ilkra was founded in 1892 by Jacob Leopold Knödgen in Ransbach-Baumbach and was originally named "Erste Ransbacher Feinsteinzeug-Fabrik JL Knödgen". Initially, typical 'Westerwälder' items were made such as beer jars, wine jugs and bowls. Between the two world wars, their range of ceramic was increased. From around 1936 and until 1965 the acronym 'Ilkra' was used. Both spellings 'Ilkra' or 'Jlkra' are documented and stand for Jacob Leopold Knödgen in Ransbach.
After the Second World War, their range of decorative ceramics was expanded further. Especially after 1955, their vases were known to stand out due to their innovative shapes and glazes. The designers from that time are Ernst Werner, he was the son-in-law of Richard Knödgen, Josef Koch and Edmund Peter.
Richard Knödgen died in 1969 and his son Leo took over the company which continued to operate until it was taken over and thought to be renamed as "Knödgen Keramik".

Blisner, IL examines the effects of deindustrialization in a Rust Belt town. The book serves as a sequel to Blisner, Ill., the change in postal abbreviations significant in their respective points in the chronology of the town, and frames its predecessor as a historical document from which to draw information at the present day site.
The book focuses on mid-sized cities in Southern Illinois and how they attempt to maintain the veneer of their once industrially-prosperous moment. Blisner, IL is organized in chapters that loosely follow the regional picture book formula of understanding place through its history, industry and culture, the terms often functioning synonymously.

AbstractTraditional flight test sensing applications require installation of not only the sensor but also supporting cabling and interfacing infrastructure. The cost of this supporting infrastructure increases when it must cross pressure vessel boundaries, extend long distances, or interfere with operation of the aircraft. The continuing cost and schedule pressures on flight test programs demand approaches that minimize installation complexity and reduce the need to modify the aircraft under test. Some emerging approaches have leveraged wireless techniques for data transmission but this can only be used in certain circumstances and does not address the problem of power distribution. This paper describes ongoing research into alternative sensing approaches that utilize a mix of video processing, distributed processing, and power harvesting to provide additional solutions.

Attend a PFI field day this summer! Check out the full line up today!1 of 2
Find Farmer Speakers
Are You Seeking Farmer Speakers?
If you’re a journalist with a media inquiry, visit our Newsroom page for our staff media contact and other information.
When it comes to farming practices and systems, there’s no single right way or approach. Iowa’s agricultural landscape is filled with a diverse coalition of farmers growing a range of crops and livestock using myriad approaches for equally diverse markets and customers.
Farmers truly are the experts on their unique farming systems.
Since 1985, Practical Farmers of Iowa has been bringing farmers together to learn from and support one another. This culture of sharing has always been central to our work.
Today, we’re a diverse group of farmers, landowners, friends of farmers and other supporters in Iowa and beyond who believe that sharing knowledge can help us all build resilient farms and communities.
What we offer
To empower farmers to share their knowledge and experience, we coach our members in public speaking and help them tell compelling stories with confidence and clarity.
If you are planning an event, organizing a guest lecture, seeking a farming voice for a story or need to access farmer insights for any other reason, our farmer leaders are ready to engage.
To connect with a PFI farmer speaker, contact Maggie Norton, PFI’s farmer outreach coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.org or (515) 232-5661. Please provide basic background on the event or project, including topic, format, dates and location information.
Examples of Farmer Speakers
Brian Corkill and his father, Alan, farm corn and soybeans near Galva, Illinois using strip-till and no-till systems, along with cover crops. Brian started using cover crops to slow soil erosion and reverse soil compaction, and in the years since he has observed additional positive attributes of cover crops. One of which was increased corn yields without Brian increasing nitrogen rates since he began using cover crops, which he attributes to greater soil microbial activity and improved nitrogen retention from cover crops. Brian has also observed that cover crops help with weed suppression, especially with waterhemp. Brian excels in seeding cover crops quickly and at a low cost with an air seeder mounted on a vertical tillage tool. He has also experimented with planting his cash crop into a green cover crop.
Areas of expertise: economics of cover crops, quick-seeding cover crops, planting green
Jim Fitkin, alongside his wife Debbie, farms corn, soybeans and popcorn on a farm north of Cedar Falls, IA which has been in the Fitkin family for nearly 150 years. Jim has been using cover crops for over seven years—typically aerially applying rye cover crop seed and planting soybeans into a green, living cover crop. Jim also has experience with raising cereal rye for cover crop seed and oats for both seed and food-grade markets. In addition to cover crops, Jim uses reduced tillage practices.
Areas of expertise: raising and marketing popcorn, planting green, no-till, raising cover crop seed
Al Klein raises corn and soybeans near Freeburg, IL. He originally started using cover crops to prevent soil erosion and has since seen a myriad of other benefits such as weed control and improved soil health resulting in better water infiltration.
Al typically seeds cover crops using an airseeder. For soybeans, he ‘plants green’ and terminates the cover crop using a roller crimper. Al often plants early maturity soybeans so that he can seed a legume mix earlier in the fall.
Areas of expertise: legumes cover crops, roller-crimping, planting green
Adam Smith of Mount Pleasant, IA operates ABC&D Farms with his wife Brooke. Since both Adam and Brooke work off-farm, full-time jobs, they use time-saving practices on their cow-calf, row crop farm. Cover crops and no-till are two practices that save Adam time while providing on-farm conservation benefits. Adam explains, “instead of having to seed, cut, dry and bale hay, I can seed a cover crop and let the cattle process it for me. By transitioning to no-till, I save myself hours that I would have spent on tillage.” Adam is also experimenting with alfalfa as time and cost-saving practice—he is curious to see how much he can cut nitrogen rates.
Areas of expertise: grazing cover crops, extended rotation, transition to no-till
Seth Watkins stewards his family’s fourth generation farm near Clarinda, IA by using a multitude of conservation practices. On Seth’s Pinhook Farm, cattle and crops such as corn, soybeans, winter wheat, oats and alfalfa are raised, and cover crops are integral for both soil health and cattle feed. In his row crop fields, Seth has implemented no-till, terraces, and prairie strips. On highly erodible land, he has transitioned from row crops to pasture. In addition to his in-field conservation, Seth has set aside many acres for wildlife habitat.
Areas of expertise: edge-of-field conservation, water quality, water quality and human health, extended rotation, wildlife habitat

Selling funds in a private limited company to raise funds can be an exhausting as well as a challenging task due to various reasons. For example, the selling shares requires investors whom a limited company will sell the shares. On the other hand, the company is liable to lose control over the company. Therefore, they cease to hold complete control over the company’s decisions regarding certain important matters. For that reason, selling shares is the last option to raise funds if the manager or the entrepreneur fails to raise funds from other sources.
In this blog, we will discuss what is selling shares in a limited company and why it is important. Moreover, we will discuss the different types of shares and how to sell them following a legal and a fair process to make in a private limited company in the United Kingdom. So, let’s start!
Are you looking to sell the shares of your company? Seek help prior to taking an action from the expert business advisors at AccountingFirms. We’d love to love you!
What is Selling Shares in a Private Limited company?
Selling shares is more convenient as compared to borrowing money or a loan from a bank. The reason is the absence of any interest rate attached to the loans and the repayment of the loan. However, there is one drawback of losing a certain level of control over the company.
For example, when you sell shares to an individual or an investor, they become the partial or full owner of the company. As a result, your control over the company becomes limited or restricted. In case of a loan, the control over the company does not change, but the liabilities of a form do increase because of borrowing money from a bank or creditor.
When an investor buys shares in a limited company, they become eligible to earn a dividend on their shares. They have to pay a Capital Gains Tax (CGT), if the investors have earned a profit on their shares in the form of a dividend and in excess of CGT threshold.
Why is Selling Shares Important in a Private Limited Company?
The selling of shares in a private limited company can happen for various reasons. For example, the entrepreneur is planning to retire or is relocating or switching their business. The other and the most important reason, also currently used by the startups, is to raise funds.
Just as startups, sell their shares of a business to win some funds from the angel investors, private equity firms or the incubators. Similarly, the private limited companies sell their shares to the interested investors in exchange for some equity. This is the reason that this type of getting funds is known as equity finance.
Types of Shares
The types of shares a company sells are not the same in kind. They differ from each other, depending on the type of shares they issue. In the United Kingdom, private companies have as many shares as they desire as no legal obligation exists on the number of shares issued to get funds. Here are the types of shares a company issue when they want to raise funds:
- Ordinary shares
- Preference Shares
- Non-voting shares
- Corporate Bonds
- Redeemable Shares
What is the Process of Selling Shares?
Typically, a private limited company sells shares to relatives, family members or friends. They also issue shares to their employees, also known as Employee benefits. On the other hand, they can give shares to capital firms or angel investors to get huge funds in return for equity.
The process of selling shares begins with the decision of the types of shares. Besides, how much you need funds to carry out your business activities and operations conveniently and seamlessly determine the share types.
Secondly, ensure your decision of selling shares completely aligns with the Companies Act, pre-emption rights, shareholder’s agreements and letters of association. Any discrepancy may lead to legal action against the company.
Thirdly, sell your shares to the existing shareholders as prescribed in the pre-emption rights. Otherwise, you can issue shares to new investors with proper application forms, in case the existing shareholders are not interested in buying more shares from the same company.
Fourthly, issue the shares to the potential shareholders and investors through board resolution. You have to inform the Companies House by filling in the SH01 form and attaching a copy of a shareholders resolution.
Lastly, the documentation of the new shareholders begins when you allot new shareholders into your Confirmation Statement. This is the most tedious task to ensure each shareholder gets their due share in the form of a dividend, as they are the partners in a company’s profits.
The Bottom Line
In equity finance, private companies sell their shares partially or completely to other investors to get the cash or funds. The company often needs cash to expand its business, launch a new product, market its product or for maintaining a smooth cash flow record.
The biggest advantage of selling shares is that the firm does not have to make any interest payment for many years and they are free from any type of repayment liability. Nevertheless, they cease to fully control or manage the company. After reading this article, you are able to understand the selling shares in a private limited company to raise funds. Now, you can weigh down the pros and cons of carrying out this procedure before you reach a final decision.

… it’s full of friendly and talented people. But more important, it’s like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get. And once in a while a piece of art shows up that causes one to feel…deeply.
And so it was when I first saw Dominique Eichi’s pen & ink drawing of her grand niece. She so captured the wide-eyed and curious nature of young kids that I couldn’t help but stop and stare. It’s sad that most of us have lost those feelings of wonder. We go through our adult lives, in adult fashion, or as we believe adults are supposed to act, and we no longer “stop and smell the roses”, “take time to ponder”, or chase bubbles “just cuz it’s fun.”
Aldous Huxley once said, “Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.” Wouldn’t our world be a better place if we all acted a bit more like children?
Dominique Eichi has a great blog called Dancing strokes. I encourage you to go there, if only to look at this great drawing in its full glory.

The Graphic Editor is the base for any operations that are performed with the data in your data model. It gives you a graphical map of all tables with their foreign-key relations, which link the single tables of a data model together.
To use the tables for an analysis in CPM 4, you need to define relations by using primary - and foreign keys.
Graphic editor components
The Graphics Editor shows your current connected tables and allows you to assign the relations between them and which of their columns you which to display. You can also freely move the tables with Drag & Drop without affecting their relations.
- Import data: add new data tables to your analysis (see the Importing Data page).
- Activity table: activity tables are the basis for your Celonis analysis. They contain the necessary columns of 'Case key', 'Activity', and 'Event time'. Activity tables are identified by the
- Case table: case tables contain all information about your cases in the event log. They are identified by the

Trauma has many faces and can impact the lives of not only the person who experienced trauma but of their family and close relationships. In this course, you will learn about the different types of trauma, and how to effectively address it in coaching. You will be provided the tools to assist your clients in reshaping their experience so they can retrain their brain.
As a coach, it is important to know when to refer to a therapist, consult, or collaborate. Our client’s life stories give us insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (TFB Paradigm), but most importantly their relationships to self and others. Examining their ability to analyze the TFB paradigm will allow you to teach them how to apply corrective techniques, and reshape their present day relationship to their experiences.
Clients rely on life coaches to teach them new behaviors, acquire new skills, as well as change attitudes and correct thought processes and address healing in their interpersonal relationships. Trauma impacts so many aspects of life functioning and providing your client with the tools needed to reclaim and empower their lives is
Trauma impacts so many aspects of life functioning and providing your client with the tools needed to reclaim and empower their lives can be the first step toward healing and wellness. Everything in life is relational. Addressing trauma from a relational and brain-based perspective will provide you with the necessary tools to assist your clients in reshaping the experience and retraining their brain to begin their healing process. Coaches do not diagnose or provide therapy, but they can provide an important first step in connecting or to working collaboratively with therapists and other professionals. Trauma is experienced globally, and coaches can contribute to changing world views and empowering people.
Family coaching can assist families with developing, improving, or learning new ways to communicate. Frequently, families get stuck in old patterns of behavior and need to learn to make new or healthier choices. As a coach, you can be instrumental in helping families learn how to change old or unhealthy patterns. Restructuring the family to incorporate equality, empowerment, “good listening skills,” plans for change, and a maintenance plan for changes made can be invaluable. Using the stages of changemodel, cognitions of choice, and The Big Five of Healthy Relationships will provide you with the formula needed to guide families through change so they can learn to make healthier relationship choices. Teaching negotiation, mediation, and arbitration can help families learn the techniques necessary to secure their future in a way that will allow them to remain healthy. Family coaching is continuing to grow and develop, why not join this new and expanding aspect of the field and make a lasting contribution to society?

Unpaved road dust emissions in El Paso in Texas, Las Cruces in New Mexico and Ciudad Juárez in Mexico were measured using the Testing Re-entrained Aerosol Kinetic Emissions from Roads (TRAKER) system. PM10 (particles with diameter < 10 μm) emissions factors from unpaved roads in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico increased by a factor of five as compared to those measured in El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM. The highest emission factors were observed in spring. A strong exponential dependence of PM10 emissions factors on vehicle speed was observed in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico and El Paso, TX, whereas they remained constant in Las Cruces, NM reflecting differences in soil surface characteristics. The highest PM10 emissions in Las Cruces and Ciudad Juárez originated from the sideline tire, indicating the possible influence of accumulated loose soil and debris on the side of the unpaved roads. Overall, strong spatial and temporal variability of PM10 emission factors were computed in the Paso del Norte region, reflecting differences in road surface and vehicle traffic characteristics and further underscored the need for high spatiotemporal resolution of emission inventories to accurately identify the most susceptible unpaved roads and control their burden on particulate pollution.

Today the FDA released formal regulatory guidelines governing genetic engineering of animals for food, drugs or medical devices. The specific requests in the guidelines, while not mandatory, are designed to show biotech companies seeking FDA approval for commercial use of GE animals how to follow federal drug laws.
The new guidelines — while stronger than those for genetically modified plants and micro-organisms — drew criticism from groups worried about the hazards of bioengineered animals.
Now all genetically engineered animals — food animals and those genetically altered for research– will be under FDA regulation. Food from GE animals will not have to be labeled as such, though if the genetic manipulation changes the nutritional content, that must be declared on the label.
The guidelines state the FDA wants to be informed how the genetic alterations might change an animal’s health, behavior and nutritional value, as well as how companies will keep track of animals, prevent them from mingling with their non-engineered cousins and dispose of them when they die.
Companies would also have to provide the molecular identity of snippets of DNA inserted in an animal’s genome, as well as where the genetic message lands and whether it descends unaltered through subsequent generations.
The FDA will now be able to regulate genetically engineered animals without getting further authority from Congress, and consumer and watchdog groups will not be included in the informational processes. Because open discussions about safety and effectiveness could reveal a company’s proprietary or competitive information, the FDA is prohibited by law from informing the media or public.
"The first time that the public will learn about a genetically engineered animal will be the day it is approved," said Margaret Mellon of the Union of Concerned Scientists in the Washington Post.
The guidelines will be open for public comment for 60 days.

How do you end a presentation phrase?
3 phrases to use as a signal to the end in your presentation conclusion
- “This brings me to the end of my presentation. To summarize my main points,…”
- “Well, that is all I have for today. Let me now summarize what I talked about…. ”
- “I have now come to the end of my presentation. In summary, I spoke about…”
How do you start a defense introduction?
Start by expressing the fact that you’re glad to be there. A statement like, “I’m glad/excited/pleased/thrilled to be here” is almost obligatory. It invites the audience to be glad that they’re there, too. Your excitement is infectious and infuses the session with your energy.
How do you make closing remarks?
Here are some options for ending your speech:
- Close with an inspirational quotation. Find a short quote that captures the feeling you want the audience to have.
- Include a call to action.

- Transition to Q+A.
- Match the opening sentence.
What are three strategies to consider when creating a presentation?
- Consider the audience and what they already know.
- Visualize the stage and setting.
- Determine your objectives.
- Build your presentation.
- Confront nervousness.
- Hook your audience.
- Speak clearly.
How do you speak in a topic?
If you want to speak on any topic or present a topic that you are not familiar with, you should always prepare it thoroughly. However, I do not suggest that you start with topics where you do not have the ‘right to speak’. you need the ‘right to speak’ to make an extempore or impromptu speech.
What is a good way to end a presentation?
Don’t end with a question and answer slide. End with a memorable quote. Say thank you to the audience. and more!…It’s free.
- Include a Strong Call-to-Action (CTA)
- Don’t End with a Q&A.
- End with a Memorable Quote.
- Close with a Story.
- Drive Your Main Points Home.
- Thank and Acknowledge.
What’s another way to say in closing?

|4||To conclude,||Per concludere,|
|5||In closing,||In chiusura,|
|6||Finally, it may be concluded…||Infine, si può concludere…|
|7||To summarize,||Per riassumere,|
What is the purpose of closing remarks?
The closing remarks, or conclusion, of a speech emphasize the primary message that the speaker wants to convey. These final words help the audience remember the main points that were made. Closing remarks are important and not easy to write.

“Sewing box samplers” made from wood
I take an original and contemporary approach to embroidery by layering, piecing and stitching fragments of old haberdashery onto cut and painted “patches” of wood. Each patch is then handstitched together to create my unique take on a traditional “patchwork sampler”.
They celebrate the lives of women, or men, who for years have worked away unnoticed as they eke out the budget, strive to make things last a little longer or look a little prettier, keep their families clothed and warm.
I use materials that are to be found hidden away in the bottom of drawers. Common place items that were used by our mothers and grandmothers as they went about their every-day domestic chores.
Vintage fabrics and lace, old embroidered table linens, paper from old knitting patterns and old items of haberdashery are combined with embroidery samples meticulously stitched into the wood.
I think about the “lives” that these things led before they came into my hands. By using things that have been used, washed and worn I am bringing their story to the piece.
Because in my mind wood was a material used to build the shell of the house and many of the functional items within it. The thread and the stitches weave their way between the layers of wood and materials bringing together the different functions and roles of a household.
- Can a button from an old shirt hold the story of the wearer?
- Does a piece of hand-stitched table linen carry the secrets of a household?
- Hidden in drawers these stories go untold.
- Stories of ordinary people going about everyday chores.
In celebration of ordinary lives.

Opening career pathways and providing equal opportunities for women is the focus of a world-first initiative that has seen an all-female deck crew set off on their first fishing trip on a tuna longline vessel.
This is the result of a collaboration between fishing company SeaQuest Fiji and the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, which seeks to begin addressing some of the issues creating the sizeable gender imbalance in the Pacific tuna industry.
Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency Director General, Dr Manu Tupou-Roosen said the women on this crew are pioneers, charting a new direction for the Pacific and the world by challenging the status quo.
‘The research tells us that most women’s jobs in Pacific fisheries are in processing (small scale and commercial) and marketing for the domestic market. Women working on fishing vessels are exceedingly rare,’ said Dr Tupou-Roosen.
‘There are a multitude of reasons why we don’t see women on fishing vessels from socio-cultural beliefs, family obligations, lack of skills and experience to attitudes to what roles women can play. The uphill battle these women have faced to be on this vessel today is a testament to their strength, determination and commitment to their training. They are an inspiration for us and for generations to come.’
Longliner Seaka II’s chief officer Joana Kotoicikobia Vakaucautadra said she had dreamed of being the skipper of a fishing boat since she was seven years old.
‘This journey with this wonderful group of fellow women is a culmination of my efforts to achieve a position on board a fishing vessel. I worked hard and never gave up. I hope that this success shines a light on a new pathway for younger women who may now see this career as an option,’ she said.
Seaka II is sailing with two experienced, male, deck crew trainers present to provide direction on safe procedures and handling of fish, and help run safety drills. The women will be out to sea for a two-week fishing trip.
SeaQuest CEO Brett Haywood said he was proud of his crew and how far they had come, especially as a 100% Fijian owned and staffed company.
‘What started out as an ambitious hope to train and put forward an all-female deck crew for this very first voyage, has morphed into also having two senior officers, a first officer and an engineer on board – which is an amazing achievement,’ he said.
‘We are at this point in our journey thanks to the collaboration with FFA and the Fiji Maritime Academy (FMA) who supported the women in completing the formal training to attain the skills and knowledge to become a competent longline vessel crew. This is the first crew we are putting out to fish for our company post-covid so it is particularly symbolic for us that it is also our very first all female deck crew. We know they will make us proud.’
Sailing with chief officer Joana Vakaucautadra are engineer cadet Linda Fong, bosun Sereana Railala Cakacaka and deckhands Kasanita Vakarairai, Joana Kasani, Adi Kelera Lutunauga and Viviana Vakavuraka Bogitini.
This female crewing initiative is the first phase of a project that is planned to be progressively rolled out in other Pacific countries by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency with local partners.

In 2020, 23% of enterprises in Cyprus increased efforts to sell goods or services over the internet due to the effects of the pandemic, compared with 12% of businesses in the EU, according to data released by Eurostat, the statistical service of the European Union. The data shows how EU enterprises dealt with the effects of measures taken to limit the spread of COVID-19 in 2020. Among member states for which data was available, the highest share of enterprises that started or increased efforts to sell their products online due to the pandemic was recorded in Malta (32%), followed by Cyprus (23%) and Portugal (21%). The lowest percentages of enterprises increasing their efforts to use the internet were registered in Germany (5%), Poland (6%) and Slovenia (7%). There are no available data from Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, France, Croatia and Romania.
The collection of this particular data was voluntary for the member states. Eurostat notes in its press release that the share of businesses that moved to the internet as a new channel of sales or increased their efforts to sell online in 2020 due to the pandemic, depended on the initial share of enterprises already having e-sales, but also to a large extent on the type of economic activity of the enterprise.
The highest share of enterprises that started or increased their online sales was registered in accommodation-related activities (25%), while the lowest share was recorded for enterprises active in construction (3%). The data was collected during surveys on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and e-commerce in enterprises. Out of the 27 member states, 19 opted to include questions on this issue in their surveys.

Police praise ‘Smart Street Light’ program as a crime-solving tool; wary critics want more oversight
San Diego police chief calls the cameras in street lights ‘a game changer’
Cameras tucked into new high-tech street lights are powerful aids in solving crimes, silent eyes that more than once have caught overhead images that led to a killer, San Diego police say.
The ones installed in San Ysidro helped investigators zero in on a suspected gunman in the Nov. 6 shootings of three Church’s Chicken workers, one of whom was killed. In downtown San Diego, they helped identify a man suspected of donning a costume mask and shooting to death a business owner in October 2018.
A couple of weeks ago, police released images of a driver and a car they believe ran over a woman in a wheelchair in Lincoln Park and then took off. The victim died at the scene. Street light cameras helped police see the driver pull into a gas station. Within hours of releasing the street light and gas station footage to the public, police had the suspect’s name.
Police hail the cameras as a highly effective tool. San Diego Police Chief David Nisleit called them “a game changer.”
“We use them very sparingly, for only the worst type of cases, very violent type of cases, or serious or fatal injury collisions,” Nisleit said. “But it’s our ability to use them as a reactive tool, as an investigative tip to lead us in the path of who is responsible for the crime. It actually lets us narrow our focus.”
But at what larger public cost? Who gets access to the footage? For what purpose? And who is watching the watchers?
Critics say that they, too, are interested in public safety but want to see more oversight in the camera program, and they want a role in shaping the rules.
In an interview earlier this month, Nisleit stressed that Smart Street Lights are not used for surveillance, and police are not monitoring the cameras through a live feed. Rather, he said, they are an investigative tool that allows for “precision policing.”
On the night of the shootings at Church’s Chicken, Nisleit authorized his investigators to download the camera footage.
The department released an image of the gunman’s car, and little more than two weeks later, authorities tracked 49-year-old Albert Lee Blake to Tennessee and arrested him. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges.
“I don’t know if Mr. Blake would be in custody right now in this case had it not been for this technology,” Nisleit said.
What are Smart Street Lights?
When the city of San Diego approved its Smart Street Lights project three years ago, it was initially presented as a cost-savings plan to replace old street lights with energy-efficient LED ones, at a savings pegged at around $125,000 a month.
Much later came the public revelation that thousands of the lights included data-gathering technology. A fact sheet from the city says the program “evolved” into what it hails as “the world’s largest smart city sensor platform.”
The city now has 4,700 newly upgraded street lights, more than 3,000 of which have sensors that gather a wide swath of information, including pedestrian and traffic movements, parking availability, environmental conditions and more.
By next year, authorities said, those numbers are expected to grow to 8,600 street lights and 4,200 sensors installed across San Diego. The city says it can use that real-time data to help the community, including improving traffic congestion or making parking easier.
The Police Department and the city insist that the cameras are not capable of facial recognition, nor are they equipped with automated license plate readers. They also say the cameras cannot pan, tilt or zoom. All they get is a static overhead shot.
The footage is available for download for five days, officials said. After that, it’s gone. No going back and digging up old footage.
A city spokesman said the decision about where to put the sensors came from an assessment by project partner GE Current and the city, and then put in places where authorities could get the most relevant data. Some uses, like gathering parking data, require more sensors, the city says. About 5 percent of the city’s rights-of-way are covered by the nodes. Most are downtown.
Reactive, not proactive
Nisleit said he understands the fear some residents have expressed that the technology would be used to racially profile or otherwise discriminate against members of the community. But he said those fears are unwarranted.
“We are not surveilling,” he said. “As long as there is not a crime, we are not looking at video.”
He said police use of the video is reactive, not proactive. So far, it has been fruitful.
A few hours after the Church’s Chicken shooting, police were able to access an image of the car they believed was involved. They provided that image to officers — with information about the type of vehicle, color, exact make and model, and specialized modifications to it — “so they are not stopping every blue sedan,” the chief said.
“That is really important for us,” he continued. “We are at an age in law enforcement right now where we are striving to engage in precision policing.”
He also said the department wants to be “good stewards of technology.” He said the department had no say in where the cameras were placed.
San Diego police Capt. Jeffrey Jordon, who oversees the Police Department’s access to the footage, said police didn’t access the video until August 2018. They started slowly, accessing the videos 46 times from August 2018 through last March. By of the end of last month, that number was up to 205.
Nisleit and Jordon said the department has policy rules governing who gets to download the footage. It’s only done in the most serious cases, like those involving homicide and rape.
About 70 people in the department of more than 1,850 sworn officers can access the footage, primarily investigators in crimes of violence. Not all detectives have access, including those who investigate gangs.
According to Jordon, footage from smart street lights helped clear a man initially arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal shooting in the Gaslamp Quarter in August 2018. Street lights video, he said, revealed that the killing had happened in self-defense.
The cameras aren’t helpful in every case. Investigators sought to look at video from the street lights after a man in Little Italy was accused of scuffling with three women wearing hijabs and spewing anti-immigrant comments. Jordon said he looked at the footage, but construction scaffolding obstructed view of the incident.
It’s not just San Diego police who want access to the cameras. As of the end of November, outside policing agencies have received access to downloaded footage seven times, Jordon said.
Harbor Police received footage three times after serious injury or fatal collisions. Twice, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives got footage after the agency was invited to assist police investigations in San Diego — one linked to a suspected arson, the other an apparently intentional crash into a defense contractor building.
Once, footage was shared after a joint request from San Diego police and the FBI for an investigation into a vandalism at the FBI’s local offices.
And once it was shared after a joint request from police and the San Diego-based Fusion Center, a task force of local, state and federal officials addressing terrorism, which was investigating a report that someone may have shot at a San Diego synagogue.
Public access to the footage is not allowed, police say.
Earlier this month, a watchdog group sued the city of San Diego for not releasing raw data collected through its Smart Street Lights program. The suit filed by attorney Cory Briggs — a candidate for City Attorney who is critical of the city’s contract with GE — on behalf of San Diegans for Open Government alleges that the city “illegally failed to disclose” public records requested by the group, which describes itself as a government watchdog.
Briggs filed several public records requests in November asking the city to turn over all the source data collected by sensors on all its Smart Street Lights over a 24-hour period. He also wanted all records related to processed data.
According to court documents, the city told Briggs it had “no responsive documents” to fill his request.
Critics raise concerns
Critics of the program argue that a move toward greater public safety shouldn’t come at the expense of privacy and civil rights.
“I feel like we live in this world where everything is a false choice,” said Geneviéve Jones-Wright of Trust San Diego, a coalition of critics pushing back against the smart street lights. “No one has ever said that we don’t want safer communities. It’s the use of this intrusive surveillance technology without proper oversight (that is troubling).”
Jones-Wright, a former deputy public defender, wants more than a policy. She wants law.
“We need an ordinance that is put in place that will contain strong policy and mechanisms for oversight and public discourse... ,” she said. “We cannot have the police policing the police.”
Jones-Wright and Trust San Diego argue that the Smart Street Lights program was mishandled from the start, given that it was introduced as a way to save energy and money instead of a way to collect data in public spaces.
San Diego County Public Defender Randy Mize said attorneys in his office have seen “many cases prosecuted using such video evidence.”
“The City and SDPD claim that the street light cameras are not surveillance tools,” he said, “but they are no doubt intrusive and bring into play privacy concerns under the Fourth Amendment.”
Open to ‘policy solutions’
In October, three City Council members requested a moratorium on further installations of the smart street lights, until the council adopts a policy regarding who gets access to the data and how it is used.
“While we support San Diego Police Department’s mission to maintain public safety, we also need to ensure that policies exist to protect the public’s right to privacy,” the request reads.
On Friday, Councilwoman Monica Montgomery, who chairs the city’s Public Safety & Livable Neighborhoods Committee, issued a statement to the Union-Tribune, saying that she stands with those voicing concerns over how the technology is used, and said she is “open to exploring policy solutions regarding this usage.”
“As elected officials, we must ensure that the proper policies are in place to protect San Diegans’ right to privacy and our civil liberties,” Montgomery said.
Again, Nisleit acknowledged the concerns but said his department has heard from a “majority of the public” who say they want the cameras installed.
“I think we are forgetting that conversation, too,” he said. “We are listening to those that are very opposed, but we are not listening to those that are very much a give-me-more type of mentality (towards the cameras). ... I think that is an important piece.”
He said people forget to ask, “what about the victim, what about their families, what about our ability to keep this community safe?”
The Mayor’s Office confirmed that the city is crafting a smart street light policy to bring to the Public Safety & Livable Neighborhoods Committee in response to community feedback.

Consumers are statistically likely to consider buying efficiency technology from a range of companies rather than traditional providers, according to research by Accenture.
The survey found that 73 percent of consumers would consider buying electricity, energy efficiency products and related services from companies other than traditional energy providers.
Greg Guthridge, global Managing Director for Accenture’s utilities service said: “Incumbent utilities clearly remain the provider of choice, but new ‘beyond-the-meter’ products and services offer an opportunity for alternative suppliers. They are also raising consumer expectations about the nature and quality of service. Electricity providers will have to broaden the range of their services, be innovative and transform the way they engage with consumers. Utilities could potentially capitalize on the opportunity by working with other consumer brands to drive added value products and services.”
The survey polled 10,199 people in 18 countries, which suggests that energy providers face widespread tougher competition for consumers’ attention.

Election Day is just around the corner, but do you really know who deserves your vote? Get up-to-date with our comparison chart on where both candidates stand on the issues that matter to you
What Obama Proposes: He has criticized President Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act, which requires public school students to pass standardized tests for the schools to get additional federal dollars; he will reform the law by funding it and tracking school progress. Obama will combat high school dropout rates by implementing mentoring and extracurricular programs. He wants to create a tax credit that will make the first $4,000 of college free—covering two thirds of the average public college tuition—and intends to make community college free.
What McCain Proposes: He will uphold No Child Left Behind. He says he will enlarge a program offering school vouchers to families with an average household income of $23,000, allowing those parents to pay for their children’s education at a school of their choice. McCain will make college more affordable by increasing federal funding of need-based grants and low-interest loans. He supports the expansion of online education and will invest $500 million into virtual schools.
What Obama Proposes: He wants a national health plan to help citizens buy affordable health insurance. He’ll allow people to choose between the national plan and private ones, and will raise the age limit for children’s coverage on their parents’ plans to 25. In Congress, Obama cosponsored the Microbicide Development Act, which will speed up the development of products—such as gels and creams—that can reduce the risk of HIV.
What McCain Proposes:To offset the costs of health insurance, he will provide a $2,500 refundable tax credit for individuals and a $5,000 credit for families. He says families should be able to select their own insurance providers; he’ll establish a plan that allows nonprofits to cover employees through contracts with insurers. McCain wants to increase the number of walk-in clinics nationwide.
STIMULATING THE ECONOMY
What Obama Proposes: He will inject $75 billion into the economy by cutting taxes for the middle class and providing workers with a tax credit. For those making more than $250,000 a year, he will implement a higher payroll tax. Obama says he will raise the minimum wage and give $50 million to employment programs for groups facing employment difficulties, such as homeless veterans, children aging out of foster care and ex-prisoners.
What McCain Proposes: He wants to drop the corporate tax from 35 percent to 25 percent. While McCain is opposed to federal control of the minimum wage, he will double the personal exemption from $3,500 to $7,000 for every dependent. McCain is in favor of decreased spending, only splurging for such needs as job training and national security.
WAR IN IRAQ
What Obama Proposes: He will implement a phased withdrawal of one to two brigades per month to get our troops out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats, but he is against having a permanent presence there.
What McCain Proposes: He hopes to release troops from Iraq by 2013. He says Iraq’s government needs international support to bolster its economy and deliver services such as clean water. McCain disagrees with a withdrawal before Al-Qaeda is defeated, arguing that our troops must stay to prevent another terrorist attack.

Can you alter a suit that is too small?
A suit jacket’s length can be altered. However, it cannot be made longer – only shorter. It’s a risky alteration because the spacing of the pockets and button holes cannot be changed and if a jacket is shortened too much, you run the risk of compromising the balance of the garment.
Can tailors make suit pants bigger?
If you feel like you are suffocating inside your pants (they are super tight around the middle) or that the waist is too big and the pants are falling off of you, a tailor can take the waist in or out pronto and give your trousers a more comfortable fit.
How much does it cost to resize a suit?
We’ve found the average alterations cost for a new men’s suit is around $75 to $100. Add to this the time wasted going back and forth to have it altered, and you’ll realise the off-the-rack suit you just bought isn’t feeling as good as when you first tried it on.
Can a coat be made bigger?
Generally, a tailor can’t do much to make clothes bigger. Good pants usually have an inch or two in the waist to give, but most coat enlargements are impossible. Even if there’s a bit of fabric available, it can change the shape of the coat in an undesirable way. … Usually half an inch or even an inch is available.
Can you make jackets bigger?
A woman’s jacket can be made larger by letting out some of the fabric in the seams. Even a 1/2 inch on both side seams will add an extra inch to the width of the jacket. Some women’s jackets also have double side seams or a seam down the back to allow for a more fitted look.
Can a tailor make a suit slim fit?
A slim-fitting suit that fits the contours of the body more closely has a clean, tailored look. You can alter a suit to your proportions and save money by not having to buy a new one. Have someone else (preferably a tailor) measure your chest, arms, inseam, waist and neck.
Can a tailor alter waist size?
It’s possible to have the waist taken in by a tailor, but this is more of a delicate procedure. Because jeans aren’t built with easily-altered seats and waists, there’s more room for error and even less room to let out. A good tailor will take in the waist at the back, directly in the center.
Can a tailor add lining to jacket?
It can be hard to find another garment to wear underneath it that fits the exact shape of the sheer garment, making it harder to use. This is where tailors can help you out. They can add lining any garment, and this includes all your beautiful see-through tops.
How should a suit fit?
The seam that connects the shoulders to the arms of the jacket is a reliable indicator for fit. Basically, the seam should be at the edge of your shoulder, right where it slopes down to your arm. The shoulders on a suit should be flat and smooth. You don’t want any rumpled fabric or creases.

Roy Lichtenstein rose to prominence in the 1960s with his humorous cartoon imagery, promptly followed by his appropriations of art historical genres. His Modern Head series of 1970 references modern masters of Cubism, Constructivism and Art Deco among others. In addition to a set of five Modern Head prints, Lichtenstein also created a limited number of Modern Head sculptures.
The Modern Head prints seek to critically dismantle the history of modern art, through a formal idea particularly favoured by Lichtenstein; impure style. Accordingly, Lichtenstein’s Modern Heads are founded on both artistic and architectural sources. The prints allude to painterly gestures and sculptural anatomy, as well as facade ornamentations and sleek interiors.
Lichtenstein's Modern Head #3is purely black and white. This print is undoubtedly the most constructivist edition of the series, as it exhibits a human profile entirely reduced to mechanical parts. In addition, the work directly references the flat planes, precision and abstract geometric forms associated with 1930s design.Modern Head #3’s curvature owes its smoothness to the embossing and linocut employed by the artist.

If you’re a parent who practices BJJ, then you probably want to get your kids into it, too. Why wouldn’t you? Not only will it help to bully-proof your kids, but it allows you and your children to spend more time together doing something you both love.
So, how do you introduce your kids into BJJ? More importantly, how do you keep them in?
The answer can be summed up in a single word: fun.
As Coach Tom Davey from The Grappling Academy explains:
Always encourage your children just to have fun. Jiu-jitsu must equal fun. As soon as it doesn’t, they’re not going to stick with it for life. Kids don’t even stick with normal fun stuff for life. So, if you want them to stick with jiu-jitsu — that’s got hard work and discipline in it, it’s got to be fun.
Check out the rest of Tom Davey’s video below on introducing your kids to Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Issuer possibility will be the possibility the property value fixed-income securities may decline for several factors which immediately relate solely to the issuer.
Reinvestment possibilities is the risk that money through the Fund’s collection will decrease if the investment invests the proceeds from matured, bought and sold or known as bonds at markets rates of interest that are beneath the account portfolio’s present income speed. Prepayment risk is the possibilities that, upon a prepayment, the exact outstanding personal debt on which the investment derives interest earnings would be reduced. Credit danger is the threat that an issuer of a security will be incapable or hesitant which will make dividend, interest and/or principal costs whenever because of and this the value of a security may decrease as a result. Interest danger may be the threat that fixed-income securities will decline in value considering alterations in marketplace interest levels.
Elder debts include structured as floating price instruments wherein the interest rate payable on the responsibility fluctuates with rate of interest improvement. Because of this, the give on elderly Loans will normally drop in a falling interest planet, causing the investment to have a reduction in the earnings they get from a Senior Loan. Furthermore, the market industry worth of Senior financial loans may fall-in a declining interest rate planet and may fall in a rising rate of interest conditions when there is a lag within rise in rates of interest together with reset. Lots of elderly financing have the very least base speed, or floor (typically, a “LIBOR floors”), which is made use of in the event the genuine base rates is beneath the lowest base speed. Toward extent the investment invests in such older financing, the account cannot take advantage of larger discount costs during durations of increasing rates of interest because otherwise would from expenditures in older Loans without any surfaces until costs go up to stages over the LIBOR flooring. This is why, the Fund may miss some of the benefits of running into influence. Specifically, if the account’s borrowings has floating dividend or rates of interest, its costs of leverage will increase as costs build. In this situation, the investment will feel enhanced financing bills without having the good thing about receiving higher income. Consequently, this may end in the potential for a reduction when you look at the level of money designed for returns or distributions as made by the Fund.
The senior loan industry features viewed a significant boost in debts with weaker lender protections like, but not simply for, limited economic repair covenants or, occasionally, no monetary servicing covenants (in other words., “covenant-lite financial loans”) that would typically be incorporated a traditional financing arrangement and common weakening of various other restrictive covenants relevant for the borrower such as for instance limitations on incurrence of added financial obligation, constraints on money of junior obligations or limitations on returns and distributions. Weaker lender protections such as the absence of financial repair covenants in that loan arrangement and also the addition of “borrower-favorable” terminology may affect recuperation beliefs and/or investments levels of older financial loans in the future. The absence of economic upkeep covenants in financing contract generally speaking means the lender might not be in a position to declare a default if financial overall performance deteriorates. This could impede the investment’s capacity to reprice credit risk connected with a https://maxloan.org/payday-loans-nc/ specific borrower and reduce the Fund’s ability to restructure a problematic mortgage and mitigate prospective reduction. As a result, the investment’s contact with losses on investments in elderly loans may be improved, specifically during a downturn inside credit cycle or changes in marketplace or economic conditions.
Towards the level a fund invests in drifting or varying rates requirements that use the London Interbank granted Rate (“LIBOR”) as a guide interest rate, it really is at the mercy of LIBOR hazard.
The United Kingdom’s Financial run Authority, which regulates LIBOR, will cease producing LIBOR available as a resource price over a phase-out cycle that begin right after December 31, 2021. The unavailability or replacing of LIBOR may impact the value, exchangeability or get back on certain fund opportunities that will cause bills obtain regarding the closing out spots and stepping into latest trades. Any possible aftereffects of the changeover away from LIBOR in the account or on certain instruments in which the investment invests is hard to ascertain, in addition they may vary based many aspects, and they you could end up losses on the account.

A recently launched Edelman report indicates that in the current COVID-19 crisis, consumers expect brands to go the extra mile to solve, not sell.
An Edelman Special Report: Brand Trust and the Coronavirus Pandemic study was conducted among 12000 respondents in 12 markets including India, between March 23 – 26, 2020. It looked at how consumers expect brands to act during these tumultuous times. The study asked people: Why it’s important for brands to respond to the crisis, What brands must do and say, Who is best positioned and most trusted to carry a brand’s message and, What impact a brands response has on trust – today and in the future?
The findings suggest that this is a moment in time for brands to step up into their purpose and to join the fight. To help solve the problems we are all facing; to protect employees and partners; to get creative in how their products and services can help; engage in cross-industry collaboration in partnership with the government and communicate with compassion as much as with facts. Because the world needs it, consumers expect it and the actions that taken today will impact the trust brands hold in the future.
In a nutshell, the report suggests, the overarching approach for brands at this time includes:
- Show up and do your part: Brands have a vital role to play. Now is not the time to disappear, but to show up and use all your resources and creativity to make a difference
- Don’t act alone: There is strength in collaboration. To truly help people during this crisis requires a joining of forces with others, most critically governments and not-for-profit’s
- Solve, don’t sell: Brands should focus all efforts on finding appropriate and meaningful solutions to the problems people are facing today
- Communicate with emotion, compassion and facts: People are reassured by positive brand actions and commitments. Communicate with empathy to help both inform and calm
You can read the entire report below.

I've always had an interest in how the various electronics that I use everyday work. As my college career progressed, I've developed an interest in how electronics and technologies are applied for use in Space. I have a passion for space exploration and hope to one-day join the European Space Agency with the skills I've obtained from IADT.
This project is designed to allow a user to input an audio clip where noise and distortion is present but unwanted. Using techniques that apply to the field of Machine Learning (principally Linear Regression and Gradient Descent) the system attempts to reduce the noise that is present in the audio clip. This project was implemented using MATLAB. The technique of Gradient Descent was used to intelligently tune a digital audio filter so that noise was removed. Using Machine Learning, the system does not need to know anything about the audio it is about to process and it creates a unique system, with no human intervention, that removes the noise present.
The main objective of this project was to create a Machine Learning system with the ability to create a digital filter that could remove noise present in degraded audio clips. Applications include audio restoration, noise control in industrial environments and music technology.
The project was successful in reducing distortion in several different types of audio clips. Very large filter systems were synthesised and noise levels were reduced significantly, without any human intervention. The principle of using Machine Learning for audio restoration was successfully demonstrated.
My Thesis is an extensive report on the research that I undertook for the project, the design and development of the project and the testing and implementation of the project. The aim was to develop a series of software modules using Machine Learning (ML) techniques such as Linear and Logistic Regression and Gradient Descent. The application of this project was in the field of Audio Processing, whereby a user can restore or enhance (depending on the function that the user desires) audio signals to improve the quality of the audio or restore an audio signal that has been degraded.
Machine Learning is “a type of artificial intelligence in which computers use huge amounts of
data to learn how to do tasks rather than being programmed to do them”. (Oxford Dictionary)
I developed an ML system that can restore, enhance and process audio to a point where the user only has to input the audio file through the ML interface and choose what they want to do with the file (restore, enhance) and let the ML do the processing without with no further user interaction required.

|Coverage||It only covers third-party damages and losses, such as if you injure a third-party person, his/her car, or third-party property as a result of an accident or collision. It also contains personal accident insurance to protect you from personal injury or death.||It also covers damage caused to you or your car.|
|Advantages||It covers you in the event that you inadvertently injure someone on the road or damage someone’s vehicle/property.

So, no matter what, you know you won’t lose money! |
Furthermore, you might receive an NCB (No Claim Bonus) for vehicle insurance renewals for each year you do not make a claim!
|Limitations||It doesn’t cover for damages to your own car.||It is slightly more expensive than a third-party car insurance.|
|Customisation||No customizations are possible under this car insurance plan.||You may personalise your car insurance policy by purchasing particular add-ons and coverages. For example, depreciation coverage, engine and gearbox protection, Return to Invoice, Breakdown Assistance, and so on.|
|Premium||The premium amount here is established by the IRDAI depending on your car. It is less expensive than a comprehensive car insurance policy.||Although more expensive, the premium here is based on many more aspects such as the city you drive in, the brand and model of your vehicle, and, of course, the add-ons you choose (if any).|

Weight training, whether your live for it or dread the mere thought of it, is a vital component to any exercise routine. Striving to complete your repetitions and gradually increasing lift weight are vital to any successful weight lifting regimen. While many factors are involved in both the muscle gains achieved through your program and your ability to retain these gains, one of the most important aspects of intensive weight training is the ability of your body to adequately recover from these difficult sets of repetition and goals. Recovery not only sets the pace for which you are able to continue your training, but the harder it is for your body to recover, the higher your chance of illness, muscle fatigue, and exhaustion. To help secure your optimal recovery time, an additional supplement of Glutamine can prove beneficial.
So What is Glutamine?
Glutamine [2,3] is a naturally occurring amino acid found inside the human body. Glutamine is one of the few amino acids to possess the ability to easily cross the blood to brain barrier. While stores of this amino acid are found in the body, it is depleted throughout the duration of intensive exercise. Since Glutamine performs multiple functions throughout the body, especially in aiding with the recovery process, many athletes benefit from an increased supply through an additional supplement.
How can Glutamine help?
In order to perform our best during new and more challenging weight training programs, as well as other specific types of regimens, our bodies must be able to recover on a daily basis. To properly recover, Glutamine provides [2,3,4] our bodies with a number of benefits intended to stop the breakdown of muscle as well as fortifying the immune system. Glutamine inhibits the breakdown of muscles after a workout by providing the muscles with a component with which to create and build newer and stronger muscle. Many athletes who have recently started a weight lifting system are susceptible to muscle tear and as their body’s supply of Glutamine drops, their need for a fortifying agent increases.
A study conducted on the relationship between Glutamine intake and increased muscle strength and fatigue suppression suggested that with the increased supply of this amino acid readily available to an athlete’s body, the athletes were both better able to meet their current goals and were more prepared to tackle more challenging tasks in the future. Finally, by increasing the strength and functions of our immune system , our bodies are better able to fight off illness which many athletes are prone to contract after an especially intense competition or practice. Acting as a precursor to the powerful antioxidant Glutathione, the supplement provides protection against the numerous types of free radicals associated with the oxidative stress endured by the body after sessions of exercise, especially during exhaustive weight training routines.

Hackers are currently exploiting several security vulnerabilities in popular mission-critical SAP applications. The vulnerabilities enable full takeover and give access to the targeted vulnerable organizations.
Several Critical Vulnerabilities in SAP Applications
According to the official CISA announcement of the attacks, “on April 6 2021, security researchers from Onapsis, in coordination with SAP, released an alert detailing observed threat actor activity and techniques that could lead to full control of unsecured SAP applications.”
If successful, the organization undergoing the attack could be exposed to data theft, financial fraud, disruption of mission-critical processes, halt of all operations, and ransomware.
The good news is that SAP quickly addressed all of the critical flaws, and patches are now available for customers for months, and in some cases, even for years. The bad news is that both SAP and Onapsis are still witnessing the lack of timely mitigations in many organizations, leaving the exploit window open for attackers.
Another Critical Flaw in SAP Commerce Platform
Earlier this year, SAP addressed a critical vulnerability in its Commerce platform.
CVE-2021-21477 could allow threat actors take advantage of the SAP application used by e-commerce businesses, leading to remote code execution. The flaw affects SAP Commerce versions 1808, 1811, 1905, 2005, and 2011. Its severity score is 9.9 out of ten according to the CVSS scale, making the impact critical. Mitigating the vulnerability as soon as possible is highly advisable.
A patch was promptly released but it was only partial, it addressed the default permissions when initializing a new installation of the platform.
“For existing installations of SAP Commerce, additional manual remediation steps are required. The good news is that for existing installations, these manual remediation steps can be used as a full workaround for SAP Commerce installations that cannot install the latest patch releases in a timely manner,” explained security researcher Thomas Fritsch from Onapsis.

Fashion and style are concepts that can be closely associated with each other. However, they have several characteristics that are distinguishable. Considering how frequently both the terms are thrown around in normal conversations, people often confuse them for the same thing. Some even argue that both of them cannot be separated.
Fashion vs Style
The main difference between fashion and style is that fashion is a trend that people collectively follow during a particular duration of time. On the other hand, style is something that a person possesses individually in a unique way. This may change over time or be the same for as long as the individual likes.
Fashion can be looked at as a way of expressing something through various means including clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and lifestyle This changes during different durations of time, with every new trend having a specific context. Whatever emerges as a new trend is made popular by the industry and media.
Style is a form of self-expression for an individual person. It is a combination of the way a person dresses, moves his or her body or does anything actually. Through style, distinct ideas are expressed in a creative and artistic manner. Unlike fashion, may or may not change over time. Most people think of it to be eternal.
Comparison Table Between Fashion and Style
|Parameters of Comparison||Fashion||Style|
|Meaning||Fashion is a form of expression followed collectively by a large group of people.||Style is a form of self-expression that a single person possesses.|
|Timespan||A trend in fashion lasts for a specific period and then changes.||Style is considered to be eternal.|
|Nature||Fashion is generic and versatile.||Style is unique and individualistic.|
|Dependency||Fashion is not dependent on style.||Style is somewhat dependent on fashion.|
|Means||Fashion is expressed through clothes, accessories, footwear, makeup, etc.||Style is expressed through clothing, gestures, expressions, lifestyle and much more.|
|Effects||Fashion promotes consumption.||Style promotes mindfulness.|
What is Fashion?
Fashion is a way to express something through the means of clothing, accessories, makeup and much more. It is how people relate to the external world. It creates trends that last for a specific duration of time and then change. These are made for the masses to follow. Whatever may be the trend, people adapt to it based on its popularity. It gives them a chance to blend in and be part of something bigger.
Fashion revolves around the capability to create, predict, spread, and implement a trend that forms a taste for the masses and manages them. It includes relativism, cyclicity, versatility and even irrationality since it is drawn to human emotions and does not always have to make sense.
Various philosophers have encapsulated what fashion could mean and how people use it to gain societal acceptance. They even claim that it is a way to look distinguishable from others, but at the same time imitate what the masses are following. This means that it combines two contrary principles. Some even claim that fashion bridges the gap between an individual and the society he lives in. It is claimed to be inspired by traditional forms of culture that manifest into modernity.
What is Style?
Even though style cannot be separated from fashion, it is heavily dependent on it. Style is a form of self-expression of an individual person. It is demonstrated through the means of clothing, gestures, facial expressions, movements of the body and anything that a person does for that matter. It is unique to everyone as an individual himself chooses what is comfortable or practical for him.
Many consider style to be something that people do to modify their external appearance. However, it is a means to profess what a person feels internally. It displays self-confidence and promotes mindfulness as people really need to connect with their inner selves to find their sense of style. Instead of following popular opinion, style allows people to follow their own opinion and manage themselves accordingly.
Fashion changes from time to time but style remains eternal. It is a permanent way of being which may not always be right or wrong. It depends on what others perceive at a given time. Style can be exhibited in different forms as per the nature and job of an individual. For example, for someone who is a writer, style seeps through his literary work in the way he writes, voices his opinion, and presents a concept.
Main Differences Between Fashion and Style
- Fashion is a way of expression for the masses while style is a way of self-expression for an individual.
- Fashion changes with time while style remains permanent.
- Fashion is generic and versatile while style is unique and individualistic.
- Fashion is not dependent on style while style is dependent on fashion.
- Fashion is expressed through clothes, accessories, and footwear while style is expressed through clothing, mannerism, gestures and much more.
- Fashion promotes consumption while style promotes mindfulness.
Fashion and style are very broad concepts that have several overlapping characteristics. However, fashion does not revolve around style, but style revolves around fashion. A major difference between the two is that fashion is for the masses while style is for an individual person. Fashion is generic and a form of collective expression, but style is unique and helps an individual express themselves.
Another aspect about them is that fashion is more of an external phenomenon while style is an internal one. Fashion is a means to connect with the world that is outside, style is a means to connect with that which is inside. Inherently, fashion garners social acceptance while style brings out inner confidence.
An interesting thing about fashion is that while people use it to become part of a greater collective, they also use it to look distinguishable and unique. The two ideas contradict each other but are true for many.

Lots of people attempt to get in shape and lose weight. Some succeed, and they are then able to reach and maintain their goal weight. Unfortunately, the weight loss story of countless others is not as bright. If you are one of many people who still struggles with weight loss despite past efforts to diet and exercise, this article is for you.
Ensure that you get adequate sleep. Most adults get about eight hours of sleep. An adequate amount of good quality sleep actually helps you lose weight. Getting enough sleep will keep your metabolism functioning properly.
Try eating a three bean salad if you’re trying to shed weight. It is simple to put together and a low-calorie version is easily constructed. Open three cans of various beans, then mix them in a light Italian dressing. This will make enough of this high fiber snack for you to munch on all week.
Any extra calories you’re taking in will be stored as fat. This is why it is important to not eat before you go to sleep. When you are going to have a very active day, plan for larger meals that will keep you energized as you work. This helps your calories get ingested.
Exercise between three or four times per week for maximum results. Schedule your exercise either in the morning or after work. The key to losing weight is consistency.
Try to refrain from using the word diet when you are beginning your program. Tell others that you are keeping your calories in check or you are watching how much food you eat. When you tell others that you are on a diet, you create negative feelings within yourself, stemming from a feeling of sacrifice and restriction.
If you are eating when you aren’t paying full attention, you will gain weight. When you don’t pay attention to the food you eat, it is easy to eat more than you mean to, making reaching your goals more difficult. Understanding the volume and type of foods that you are eating can put you in a great position to lose weight.
Try to wear clothes that are comfortable for activity instead of formal clothing, when possible. People often feel like walking more when they comfortable moving around. If your workplace allows casual dress or has a casual day each week, take advantage of it.
Set yourself up for success in your weight loss program by stocking your house with healthy snacks. Purchase a big container, made of plastic, with a cover. Buy plenty of healthy and nutritious vegetables. Prepare these vegetables and then fill your container with some ice. Once you’ve done this, you can place these vegetables into your fridge. That way, you will have a healthy snack that is ready to go.
Track steps with a pedometer to help you lose weight. You should be taking at least 10,000 steps each day. An inactive person walks approximately 3,000 steps per day. Challenge yourself to increase your daily activity by going on a walk or run for 30 minutes. Every step you take will help you towards your weight loss and fitness goals.
When beginning a new weight loss program, seek the advice of a dietician for the best results. Our bodies are all different, so you may not get the same results from one diet that someone else did. Consult a professional to maximize the probability that you will lose weight.
Avoid eating out of stress, frustration, or sadness. Instead of eating, exercise when you feel sad. Studies show that endorphins are released when you workout that help your mood get a boost and you’ll lose weight at the same time.
It is a good idea to eat meals around the same hour each day. Dieters are unlikely to overeat when they have an eating schedule. Try to create a time-frame when you’re able to eat and stick to it.
One healthy and delicious breakfast option is an omelet. Throw in some veggies like onions, spinach, bell peppers or broccoli. You can include some low-fat cheese, but stay away from full-fat versions. Fiber will fill you up and make you less tempted to eat.
The struggle with weight is a story told by millions. Some people are successful and end up with muscular and toned bodies. Others fail and give up, only to maintain the same bodies as when they started. If you apply the tips in this piece, you can shed extra pounds and create a body others will envy.

Fuel tank fuelling control
GPS Fuel Monitoring Tracker gives user change to monitor where, when and how much fuel was filled into the tank. It dramatically avoids the manipulation of fuel and, consequently, reduces the operation costs.
Information on raising or lowering the level of fuel comes from fuel level sensor (car’s own fuel sensor or extra fuel level sensor), and GPS tracking system determines the location and time. The volume of fueling is determined using the calibration table that is either in a terminal of vehicle tracking system, either in the software of vehicle tracking system.
Fuel theft control
Fuel theft control is carried out technically similarly to fuelling control. GPS tracking device installed on vehicle receives data about changes of fuel level in the tank from the fuel level sensor. User of the tracking device knows about the unauthorised fuel draining almost immediately.

On one of those rare, warm and sunny afternoons in mid-March a small group of people stood in a circle peering intently down at the ground. At the center of the group was Marian Rodriguez-Soto. She was kneeling beside some simple tools and pouring water onto lumps of soil from two different locations into two different sieves set on top of clear cups. Marian was demonstrating how to do a simple “slump test” designed to determine how well soil can absorb water. Healthy soil will absorb water quickly leaving the water in the cup quite clear. The healthy soil itself will have texture something like a brownie. In contrast, over-tilled soil runs right through the sieve indicating weakened soil structure that can readily be blown by the wind or suffer excess run-off from heavy rains such as the more frequent and heavier rains the Midwest is now getting. (For a brief instructive video about soil slump testing, google “Soil Health Slump Test” on YouTube and watch Abby Morgan from the Montgomery County Extension Service conduct one and show viewers samples of the differing outcomes.)
Marian Rodriguez-Soto is our region’s Urban Soil Health specialist from the Urban Soil Health Program which is part if the Indiana Association of the Soil and Water Conservation Districts (IASWCD). The group of backyard gardeners that was learning from her had come to a small grower’s acreage in north Montgomery County. The hands-on site testing practice was the second of a two-part training that prepares ordinary citizens somewhat familiar with gardens to do site visits for the newly created urban soil health working group, Community Growers of Montgomery County.
This is something new in Montgomery County and a real benefit for urban residents who want to understand and do healthier things for their yards, things like planting vegetable gardens, creating pollinator habitats, and/or planting native shrubs, bushes, and trees. Site visits to properties are free to residents who apply. This move to get urban residents with small plots engaged in increasing the health of soil and water is a new initiative of the Soil and Water Conservation district. It certainly is a welcome one.
In decades past, the acronym SWCD was mainly known among farmers and others who own larger tracts of rural land. The founding of the Soil and Water Conservation District was born out of what is most likely the country’s greatest ecological disaster to date--the Dust Bowl.
The Dust Bowl was mainly a consequence of human activity. In the late 19th and early 20th century when the West was being settled, it seemed good practice to plow up the ancient prairie for agricultural land. In the Midwest this met with success as we know it. Out on the exposed Great Plains the plowing of the arid prairies—while briefly “successful”--set the stage for the loss of more than 850 million tons of topsoil by the mid l930s. That was nearly eight tons of soil for every resident of the United States at that time. During the Dust Bowl, farmers lost 480 tons of soil per acre resulting in the reality that 100 million acres of land would likely never be productive again. The combination of intensive plowing and severe drought, not uncommon for that region even before it was farmed, turned all those once productive soils “where the buffalo roamed” into dust. The soils that had formed across millennia simply blew away.
When one of those great sun-blotting storms reached Washington, DC in 1935, the so-called “father of soil conservation,” Hugh Hammond Bennett, was making his plea to Congress. He said America needed “a tremendous national awakening to the need for action in bettering our agriculture practices.” With the House Chamber shrouded in daylight darkness, he got Congress’s attention. They acted and passed the Soil Conservation Act of l935 and, later, the Standard State Soil Conservation Act of l937. It was the second law that encouraged creation of conservation districts at the county level throughout the nation that form the basis for our SWCD today.
Soil and Water Conservation Districts began in Indiana when the district law was established in l940. It was based on the concept that the implementation of federal conservation programs is best done through coordination of local shareholders.
The current urban work in Montgomery County is a new, invigorating way of carrying out that mission. Under the leadership of Kristen Latzke (Conservation Director) and Megan Sweeney (Program Coordinator), Montgomery County not only has the Community Growers of Montgomery County but other programming of interest to both urban and rural residents. In recent months, Montgomery County created its first CISMA (Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area). The SWCD staff also hosted the first Women 4 the Land Learning Circle that met in November, 2021. As Kristen Latzke reports, “In 2022 we will be running three major grants and hosting lots of new events. We hope to reach a broader audience and be a resource for all Montgomery County citizens, no matter how much land is owned or farmed.”
The League of Women Voters is a strong supporter of healthy land stewardship. Please visit the Montgomery County Soil and Water Conservation District webpage to view upcoming events and programs. Both Kristen and Megan invite you contact them directly with questions. Their emails can be found on the webpage. As Wendell Berry reminds us, “ The Earth is what we all have in common.”

What Is One Children’s Book That Hasn’t Become A Movie, But Should?
To help you identify some good children’s books that should have become movies, we asked seasoned writers and book critics this question for their best picks.
From “Outside Over There,” By Maurice Sendak to “The Alchemyst,” by Michael Scott, there are several selected children’s books that are deemed interesting enough to have been made into movies.
Here Are Five Children’s Books That Should Have Been Made Into Movies:
- Outside Over There By Maurice Sendak
- Everworld By K. A. Applegate
- Ghostgirl By Tanya Harding
- The Zoey and Sassafras Series
- The Alchemyst By Michael Scott
Outside Over There By Maurice Sendak
Outside Over There is one of the children’s books, which hasn’t become a movie, but it should. So, forget Where The Wild Things Are.
Only rhetorically, but still, this book is probably the favorite of the author’s works. Intimidating and whimsical, the book is about a big sister’s journey to find her baby sister, robbed by goblins who replaced her with an ice baby and are willing to marry her.
In this book, limitless cinematic possibilities are there. This book showcases that while papa is off to sea and mama is disheartened, Ida should go outside to rescue her baby sister from goblins who rob her to be a goblin’s bride.
Caroline Lee, CocoSign
Everworld By K. A. Applegate
Written by K. A. Applegate, the author of the famous Animorphs series, Everworld is a riveting series for children and young adults set in a world where mythological gods are real.
In the series, a group of young people navigate this strange world and build friendships and rivalries with various gods of different traditions.
With the success we’ve seen with the Percy Jackson series, it’s clear children are interested in stories about mythology, and the Everworld series is the next one that should make the leap to the big screen.
Rob Bartlett, WTFast
Ghostgirl By Tanya Harding
Ghostgirl, the debut novel of Tanya Harding, was amazingly popular when it first came out back in 2008, making the New York Times bestseller list within a month of release. It perfectly hit the young adult fiction niche at the time, including paranormal themes, romance, and mystery.
This was the same year that the first movie adaptation of Stephanie Meyers’ Twilight series was released, kicking off a massively successful franchise. Ghostgirl is less romantic and more darkly witty, with a plotline that both adults and teens loved in novel format.
Ten years later and a lot of kids and teens still can’t get enough of the supernatural genre, so there’s no reason Ghostgirl shouldn’t be adapted for the silver screen!
Jaymee Messler, The Gaming Society
The Zoey and Sassafras Series
The Zoey and Sassafras series. This is a story about a young girl, Zoey, whose mother is a scientist and can see magical creatures, and Zoey discovers she has that same gift.
It covers strong female characters, environmental issues, magic, mystery, problem-solving, and of course, a cat with a personality.
This is an excellent children’s book series that is a teaching tool for us all and should be in everyone’s household, in book form and hopefully eventually in movie form as well.
Staci Brinkman, Sips by
The Alchemyst By Michael Scott
The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel starts an exciting series of six books that could easily be turned into a franchise on the big or small screen. It’s a story filled with adventure, historic figures, and two protagonists that kids can really see themselves in.
It’s a series that could be used to teach the importance of history, culture, and teamwork. I hope we can see it come to life someday.

People and planet come first
Sustainability is woven into OUR DNA
From fabric to finish, we acknowledge responsibility for the social and environmental footprint of our technologies and operations.
Innovation in the process and the product
From the conception of the idea to the final product, the following requirements need to be met.
Solve an ecological problem and therefore reduce water, energy consumption and use of safer chemistry. The EIM software measures these variables to provide the basis for decisions.
Solving an ethical problem. Eliminating manual operation and hazardous chemicals with a huge negative impact on workers' health.
Be economically efficient. Not increasing product manufacturing cost allowing for rapid adoption. New technologies, process or services will only be launched if we can achieve the perfect product at a neutral cost.
Being disruptive, and in consequence allowing real improvement. We do not want to improve the current model by 20% but to make it 20 times better.
MOVE TOWARDS A MORE RESPONSIBLE AND SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY
As an additional contribution towards a more responsible and ethical industry, Jeanologia makes EIM accessible to the whole textile industry, and not only to our partners.
EIM is unique, it is the only software that measures the environmental footprint of garment finishing processes, it is a powerful self-accreditation tool that allows producers, brands, and retailers to monitor the amount of water, chemicals, and energy used in their production, as well as the impact they may have on workers’ health. Our target is to elevate EIM turning it into an open platform that integrates other industry initiatives. A working group formed by EIM's different users, incorporate other industry initiatives into the tool management, meaning brands and garment finishers can update EIM software scaping from individual interest.
Nowadays, EIM, has become a world standard in the whole fashion industry, more than 50 brands and 250 laundries are using it to improve their production, increase transparency and inform final consumer.

What is Solar Funding Incentive?
Listed below are the 4 different types of solar Funding incentive available.
- Feed-in Tariff (FIT)
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
- Reduced VAT on Energy Products
- Renewable Heating
The Feed In Tariff (FIT)
Firstly the Feed-In Tariff is a solar funding incentive that started back in 2010 ran with success for many years and was a great solar incentive. Unfortunately, this scheme has now been scrapped. Meaning that you can no longer claim unless you signed up before March 2019.
If you were signed up before March 2019 under this scheme. You could not only save money on your electricity bills. But you could also profit by selling electricity produced by your solar panels back to your supplier.
Under this scheme, you were guaranteed payments for 20 years. Significantly reducing payback times for your initial outlay on the installation.
If you are in receipt of a state pension, universal credit or disability benefits. You could be entitled to a 5% tax reduction on energy-saving products such as solar panels.
You would have to meet a specific criteria type, and the reduction may apply to the whole product or just the installation, depending on criteria demands met.
Renewable Solar Heating Incentive (RHI)
The domestic RHI is a Government-backed scheme. It aims to give private households and businesses incentive to install where possible renewable heating solutions. Including ground source heat pumps and solar thermal heating.
The government provide financial incentives to install these products on their premises and make payments determined on the amount of energy produced by these systems.
Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)
The Smart Export Guarantee pays households for renewable energy generated by solar panels. It replaces the Feed-In Tariff mentioned previously.
The larger energy companies have an obligation to offer the SEG scheme. Any company with more than 150000 customers must offer this scheme, and smaller companies can voluntarily opt.
The SEG scheme pays customers for any energy generated but not used by the household offering an incentive by lowering energy bills further.
Any homeowner with solar panels can claim this incentive with solar systems up to 5mw capacity. The household must have a smart meter to track energy use and calculate payments accordingly.
This incentive makes solar panels the perfect home improvement to optimize energy use and save on energy bills.
How to apply for solar funding incentives?
You can find further information by clicking on the link here. Check your eligibility for funding by entering your postcode and answering a few simple questions.
Each solar panel funding incentive has its unique criteria demands, so to make it simple, use our form to check what funding you could be entitled to today and start saving on your energy bills.

Two soldiers were killed after an avalanche hit an Army patrol in the icy height of Siachen Glacier today.
The patrol, operating at 18,000 feet in southern Siachen Glacier - the world's highest battlefield - was hit by the avalanche earlier today.
An Avalanche Rescue Team (ART) following the patrol immediately started rescue operations and managed to locate all of them.
They were pulled out from the snow and taken to a hospital via helicopters. Two of the soldiers died during treatment.
Last week, four soldiers had died after being trapped in snow for hours after an avalanche hit army positions in northern Siachen Glacier. Two porters also died in the accident.
The Siachen Glacier, situated at a height of around 20,000 ft, is the highest militarised zone in the world.
Avalanches and landslides are common during the winters and temperatures can drop to as low as minus 60 degree Celsius.

The community clinic is like a silver lining for the coastal population plagued by salinity. There was a time when the marginalised people had to accept living with diseases and ailments due to lack of primary healthcare. But the scenario has changed.
They now have a community clinic to rush to where they can get 32 types of medications for free. Community clinics are playing a very important role in helping people fight the situation.
“Of the average 35 patients on a day to day basis, nearly 15-20 have diarrhoeal disease.”Merazul Islam, CHCP- Cowkimoni Community Clinic, Koyra, Khulna
More than 70 per cent of the total health care service recipients- from the community clinics in coastal district Khulna, suffer from diarrhoeal disease, according to data preserved by five community clinics and upazila health complex in the area.
Skin diseases come second followed by malnutrition suffered by pregnant mothers. Increasing salinity and scarcity of pure drinking water is responsible for this. Climate change impacts are making things worse in the coastal belt.
Diarrhea is a waterborne disease. Most people have no access to safe drinking water since the underground and surface water sources are affected by salinity.
In the last 35 years, salinity has encroached nearly 27% of the coastal regions. At the same time, surface and underground water sources have been affected.
The adverse effects of climate change would further worsen the scenario. Community clinics can play a major role in tackling that future. But they would need modernization.

Each community clinic has one Community Health Care Provider (CHCP) whose educational qualifications ranges from HSC to undergraduate degrees. They get a three-month basic training and are assisted by a health assistant and a family welfare assistant.
“We need more training and better medicines. Especially, the supply of diarrhoeal disease medication will have to be increased.”
Umme Honey, CHCP-Botul Bazar Community Clinic, Koyra, Khulna
The chairman of the community clinic’s trustee board said they will act soon considering the circumstances.
Prof. Dr. Syed Modasser Ali, Chairman, Community Clinic Health Support Trusty Board- “Since the problems and ailments are different in the coastal regions due to salinity, we will consider that and take steps to send medicine soon. Trainings should also be more area-specific. We will also do that.”
Along with that, if safe drinking water in these areas is insured, then the adverse effects of climate change can be tackled to an extent.

September 18, 2020 Daily Devotion
No Greater Honor
There is no greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for his friends.
When a person enters the US military, they take an oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States. In that oath, it is implied that one may be called upon to lay down their life for their country and fellow service members. This is why there is such a strong code of honor amongst all that have served in uniform. That code is LOVE: for God and country – a gift given to us by Jesus Christ.
All glory and honor goes to Jesus Christ. HE gives us the example, “As the Father has loved me, so I have love you. Live on in my love (v.9). Jesus is our great “Warrior” – advocating for peace and love. The late Buddhist monk, Thic Nhat Hahn captures this vision beautifully:
“Veterans are the light at the tip of the candle, illuminating the way for the whole nation. If Veterans can achieve awareness, transformation, understanding and peace…they can teach us how to make peace with ourselves and each other, so we never have to use violence to resolve conflict again.”
Never End Peace and Love
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Our vision is to unite all in Love for God is Love. If you have found this devotional inspiring, please LIKE and SHARE so that we can all spread Love to the world.

That is an unpopular point — with both sides — but it might just well be true. Here is a newly published study by Robert W. Crandall:
More than a year after a court invalidated its “net neutrality” rules on broadband Internet service providers (ISPs), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to extend public-utility (Title II) regulation on broadband services. This paper uses traditional event analysis of the movements in the values of major communications and media companies’ equities at key moments in the FCC’s path to this decision to estimate the financial market’s assessment of the likely effects of regulation on ISPs, traditional media companies, and new digital media companies. The results are surprising: the markets penalized only three large cable companies to any extent, and even these effects appear to have been short-lived. The media companies, arguably the intended beneficiaries of the regulations, were unaffected.
That is via the excellent Kevin Lewis.

The author is an Afghan national whom claimed asylum in Denmark and was rejected, and at the time of communicaiton was awaiting deportation to Afghanistan.
The author entered Denmark in 2011 without any valid travel documentation and applied for asylum on the same day, noting that he could not return to Afghanistan because the country was at war and because he alleged his father had been killed by the Taliban. The domestic authorities considered that there was not a real, personal risk of persecution requiring international protection and rejected his application.
The author claims that his deportation from Denmark to Afghanistan would constitute a violation of his rights under articles 6, 7, 14, 18 and 26 of the Covenant.
- The Committee noted that that the author had not presented any evidence to sufficiently substantiate his claims under articles 6 and 7 of the Covenant, and further that the author has never been to Afghanistan and has therefore never personally experienced any problems with the Afghan authorities, the Taliban or others in Afghanistan.
- The Committee also considers that, while the author disagrees with the factual conclusions of the State party’s authorities and with their decision not to reopen his case, he has not shown that the decisions of the domestic authorities were arbitrary or manifestly erroneous, or amounted to a denial of justice. Accordingly, the Committee considered that this part of the communication as insufficiently substantiated for the purposes of admissibility and declares it inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
- The Committee notes the author’s claim under article 13 of the Covenant that he was unable to appeal the negative decisions of the Board to a judicial body. In that regard, the Committee concludes that the author has failed to sufficiently substantiate this particular claim under article 13 of the Covenant, and declares this part of the communication inadmissible under article 2 of the Optional Protocol.
- The Committee further notes that the author also claimed a violation of articles 13 and 26 of the Covenant. The Committee observes that the author had the opportunity to submit and challenge evidence concerning his forcible return to Afghanistan and had his asylum application examined by the Danish Immigration Service and reviewed by the Board and twice by the Board’s Chair. The Committee considered, therefore, that the author has not sufficiently substantiated his claims concerning the procedure before the Board under articles 13 and 26 of the Covenant for purposes of admissibility.
- Finally, the Committee notes that the author has invoked a violation of article 18 of the Covenant, however this portion of the complaint is considered insufficiently substantiated and was declared inadmissible.

Computer forensic examiners are responsible for technical acuity, knowledge of the law, and objectivity in the course of investigations. Success is principled upon verifiable and repeatable reported results that represent direct evidence of suspected wrong-doing or potential exoneration. This article establishes a series of best practices for the computer forensics practitioner, representing the best evidence for defensible solutions in the field. Best practices themselves are intended to capture those processes that have repeatedly shown to be successful in their use. This is not a cookbook. Best practices are meant to be reviewed and applied based on the specific needs of the organization, the case and the case setting.
An examiner can only be so informed when they walk into a field setting. In many cases, the client or the client’s representative will provide some information about how many systems are in question, their specifications, and their current state. And just as often, they are critically wrong. This is especially true when it comes to hard drive sizes, cracking laptop computers, password hacking and device interfaces. A seizure that brings the equipment back to the lab should always be the first line of defense, providing maximum flexibility. If you must perform onsite, create a comprehensive working list of information to be collected before you hit the field. The list should be comprised of small steps with a checkbox for each step. The examiner should be completely informed of their next step and not have to “think on their feet.”
Overestimate effort by at least a factor of two the amount of time you will require to complete the job. This includes accessing the device, initiating the forensic acquisition with the proper write-blocking strategy, filling out the appropriate paperwork and chain of custody documentation, copying the acquired files to another device and restoring the hardware to its initial state. Keep in mind that you may require shop manuals to direct you in taking apart small devices to access the drive, creating more difficulty in accomplishing the acquisition and hardware restoration. Live by Murphy’s Law. Something will always challenge you and take more time than anticipated — even if you have done it many times.
Inventory Equipment Most examiners have enough of a variety of equipment that they can perform forensically sound acquisitions in several ways. Decide ahead of time how you would like to ideally carry out your site acquisition. All of us will see equipment go bad or some other incompatibility become a show-stopper at the most critical time. Consider carrying two write blockers and an extra mass storage drive, wiped and ready. Between jobs, make sure to verify your equipment with a hashing exercise. Double-Check and inventory all of your kit using a checklist before taking off.
Instead of trying to make “best guesses” about the exact size of the client hard drive, use mass storage devices and if space is an issue, an acquisition format that will compress your data. After collecting the data, copy the data to another location. Many examiners limit themselves to traditional acquisitions where the machine is cracked, the drive removed, placed behind a write-blocker and acquired. There are also other methods for acquisition made available by the Linux operating system. Linux, booted from a CD drive, allows the examiner to make a raw copy without compromising the hard drive. Be familiar enough with the process to understand how to collect hash values and other logs. Live Acquisition is also discussed in this document. Leave the imaged drive with the attorney or the client and take the copy back to your lab for analysis.
Pull the Plug
Heated discussion occurs about what one should do when they encounter a running machine. Two clear choices exist; pulling the plug or performing a clean shutdown (assuming you can log in). Most examiners pull the plug, and this is the best way to avoid allowing any sort of malevolent process from running that may delete and wipe data or some other similar pitfall. It also allows the examiner access to create a snapshot of the swap files and other system information as it was last running. It should be noted that pulling the plug can also damage some of the files running on the system, making them unavailable to examination or user access. Businesses sometimes prefer a clean shutdown and should be given the choice after being explained the impact. It is critical to document how the machine was brought down because it will be absolutely essential knowledge for analysis.
Another option is to perform a live acquisition. Some define “live” as a running machine as it is found, or for this purpose, the machine itself will be running during the acquisition through some means. One method is to boot into a customized Linux environment that includes enough support to grab an image of the hard drive (often among other forensic capabilities), but the kernel is modified to never touch the host computer. Special versions also exist that allow the examiner to leverage the Window’s autorun feature to perform Incident Response. These require an advanced knowledge of both Linux and experience with computer forensics. This kind of acquisition is ideal when for time or complexity reasons, disassembling the machine is not a reasonable option.
An amazingly brazen oversight that examiner’s often make is neglecting to boot the device once the hard disk is out of it. Checking the BIOS is absolutely critical to the ability to perform a fully-validated analysis. The time and date reported in the BIOS must be reported, especially when time zones are an issue. A rich variety of other information is available depending on what manufacturer wrote the BIOS software. Remember that drive manufacturers may also hide certain areas of the disk (Hardware Protected Areas) and your acquisition tool must be able to make a full bitstream copy that takes that into account. Another key for the examiner to understand is how the hashing mechanism works: Some hash algorithms may be preferable to others not necessarily for their technological soundness, but for how they may be perceived in a courtroom situation.
Acquired images should be stored in a protected, non-static environment. Examiners should have access to a locked safe in a locked office. Drives should be stored in antistatic bags and protected by the use of non-static packing materials or the original shipping material. Each drive should be tagged with the client name, attorney’s office and evidence number. Some examiners copy drive labels on the copy machine, if they have access to one during the acquisition and this should be stored with the case paperwork. At the end of the day, each drive should link up with a chain of custody document, a job, and an evidence number.
Establish a Policy
Many clients and attorneys will push for an immediate acquisition of the computer and then sit on the evidence for months. Make clear with the attorney how long you are willing to maintain the evidence at your lab and charge a storage fee for critical or largescale jobs. You may be storing critical evidence to a crime or civil action and while from a marketing perspective it may seem like a good idea to keep a copy of the drive, it may be better from the perspective of the case to return all copies to the attorney or client with the appropriate chain of custody documentation.
Computer examiners have many choices about how they will carry out an onsite acquisition. At the same time, the onsite acquisition is the most volatile environment for the examiner. Tools may fail, time constraints can be severe, observers may add pressure, and suspects may be present. Examiners need to take seriously the maintenance of their tools and development of ongoing knowledge to learn the best techniques for every situation. Utilizing the best practices herein, the examiner should be prepared for almost any situation they may face and have the ability to set reasonable goals and expectations for the effort in question.

The Rubbermaid Outdoor Storage Shed - Strengths, weaknesses, where and when to use them.
The real strength of the Rubbermaid storage shed is in areas bound by the rules and regulations of a homeowner's association. If you live in one of these developments you may find yourself quickly getting frustrated over having no place to store your outdoor gardening equipment. Homeowner's associations often restrict the height of outdoor buildings and privacy fences and this makes it almost impossible to have a conventional storage shed in your yard.
Rubbermaid have developed their outdoor storage sheds to overcome this problem, giving you a place to store your items while staying well within the rules and regulations of your local byelaws.
|I hope you enjoy my review of these sheds! However if you would like to read some very model specific reviews then scroll to the bottom of this page where other visitors to this site have written and submitted their own reviews on the strengths and weakness of these sheds.|
This a range of 4 products that start with the basic horizontal shed, this model is 3'11" wide x 1'9" deep and 2'5" high which gives 18 cubic feet of storage. The shed is small enough that it can sit beneath a window ledge, allowing you to utilize space that you may never have used before. It is made of heavy duty, rot and UV-resistant plastic that is very durable. The color range is typically a steel grey with a darker grey lid or door configuration. It pretty much matches every house color imaginable, and probably a few I could never imagine as well!
There is also:
The split lid horizontal storage shed which is the same size as the shed described above but has the lid divided in two for ease of access.
The large horizontal storage shed which is well..... larger(!) with 32 cubic feet of storage.
All of these sheds perform well with the only negative review I have heard of the sliding lid shed. There have been reports of the sliding lid being vulnerable in high winds, so that may be something to consider.
The vertical storage sheds come in a variety of sizes from 17 cubic feet for the basic vertical storage shed (which looks a bit like a locker you would put your clothes in at the swimming pool) to the double deep modular vertical storage shed which contains 163 cubic feet (and looks like a very big plastic wardrobe!).
All models in the range are about 6 feet high and so are under the height of a privacy fence. The smaller vertical sheds are useful for storing a small number of the longer type garden tools (rakes, spades etc) and internal shelves can be added for smaller items. Whereas the largest vertical sheds can fit bikes and are large enough to walk in (you may have to stoop a little depending on how tall you are!)
It commonly takes about five to ten minutes to assemble one of these smaller sheds once the parts are unpacked - and the only tool that is required is a screw driver. However, if you want your shed to be even more durable and stronger, consider using joint lock adhesive in the joint areas to simply reinforce these areas. There is a floor included with these outdoor storage sheds, so you want to make sure the area you are putting it in has a nice level surface. An outdoor patio surface is a good place to put one of these sheds, for example, and you can keep your summer barbecue tools handy inside it.
These outdoor storage sheds are great to store all of your outdoor equipment - such as lawn mowers, power washers, beach items, bicycles and more - I have also heard that folk use them indoors in their basement or even in an upstairs room where a little bit of extra storage is needed.
This versatility is one of the things that makes these storage sheds such a good value. Only your imagination stops you from utilizing your Rubbermaid outdoor storage shed for storage purposes beyond what the designers originally planned.
