The Timber Pack Label contains the quantity of timber pieces together with their measurement in terms of length and thickness along with their grade details. Some mills place a label on each side of the pack whereas some mills will only place it on the ends. The timber pack label will also contain a barcode label that can be used in inventory control, stock take or loadout applications. After the timber is dropped from the bin, palletised and strapped it then is usually covered with a slip sheet. The slip sheet contains mill branding. As the timber can no longer be seen a timber pack label is produced and applied to the slip sheet. As timber packs sit in yards for unknown periods they require a long-life label typically printed via thermal transfer ribbon. With sustainability, a key topic in the media these days mills are turning to labels that can be potentially recycled with the slip sheets. Saito is a major supplier of pack labels to the timber industry, we offer label design software, label printers, printer ribbons, and labels. We have over thirty years’ experience and expertise in this market. VIP (Variable Image Printing) If you don’t have a printer in house, you don’t have the labour to run it, or simply have better things to do with your time, Saito can help you. We have a specialised VIP (Variable Image Printing) studio set up specifically for these requirements. We can manufacture specialised Tags or Tickets for you, using our premium Handi-Flex product, then we can add what you need; sequential numbering, barcodes, any information you require.

Wild Words from Wild Women: “What can happen to anyone can happen to me.” – Muriel Rukeyser, perished poet We all really need to take this quote and its message to heart. Americans seem to believe that if one average guy can become a millionaire, so can they (despite real facts in evidence to the contrary). We need to start believing that if bad things happen to other Americans, they can also happen to us. “Alternative” President Trump’s claims three new executive orders (signed on Thursday) are “designed to restore safety in America.” The order creating a new Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety is simple grandstanding when violent crime across the country is at an overall low. A second executive order aimed at combating transnational drug cartels simply directs law enforcement agencies to use existing resources to step up their game and share their information. Since Trump is busy alienating the leaders and governments of other countries around the world, I expect ineffective emphasis. Finally, he signed a third order directing the Justice Department to use existing federal law to prosecute those who commit crimes against law enforcement officers, but he makes to mention of law enforcement officers who commit crimes against citizens. Given all the state and local efforts to criminalize public protests and protestors, I believe this will simply lead to the wrongful arrest and harassment of more and more citizens exercising their constitutional rights. We must act now lest we suffer later.

Immersive Architecture was created to provide a platform for a global community, dedicated to create architecture that is human friendly and respectful to the nature. In our present high-tech world, we find it even more important for architects to base the fundamental conceptual decision on an in-depth knowledge of space and materials and use the technology in order to rise the user experience to even the higher levels rather than vice-versa where a technology is being used as a solution to all our problems.

The latest installment of the BioLogos series Southern Baptist Voices, published earlier this month, explored the troubling issue of the role death plays in evolution. John D. Laing, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s Havard School for Theological Studies, raised the issue in his essay Evolution and Death. The point I wish to make here is that the theistic evolutionist simply cannot escape the fact that the necessary corollary to survival of the fittest is destruction of the weakest and therefore, he must view death as a primary creative force of God. This is contrary, Laing believes, to the clear teaching of scripture. This, though, is contrary to the biblical view, which depicts death as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil. While it must be admitted that in the Old Testament, death is sometimes presented as a natural consequence of finite human existence, it is most often associated with consequences for sinful activity or the judgment of God. At the end of the day, then, it seems that Christians who accept evolution and those who deny evolution are operating with differing views of the doctrine of creation. However, even if agreement may be reached over this issue, the proponent of God-guided evolution must reconcile the biblical material on death with its positive function in his model. It seems to me that this cannot be done in a way that is fair to both biblical text and evolutionary thought. Evolution requires that death serve a creative function, and the Bible precludes such an understanding of death; therefore, the evangelical must reject evolution as the means by which God creates. Those who are interested will find it useful to read the entire article linked above, not just the brief bits I’ve highlighted here. Does the Bible preclude an understanding of death as serving a creative function? If so, why do you think this is true? If not, why not? Jeffrey Schloss, Distinguished Professor of Biology and director of the Center for Faith, Ethics, and the Life Sciences at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif provided a response to Prof. Laing. There is a distinction between human death and all biological death – from part 1 of the response. I have already agreed with John that the Bible persistently presents death as an enemy of God’s purposes for humanity. But I have suggested (perhaps altogether wrongly!) that he does not provide clear scriptural evidence for death being a comparable enemy to and intrusion upon God’s purposes for all creatures. A faithful reading of the Bible does not seem to be incompatible with seeing death as part of the magisterial history of life as depicted by evolution and other natural sciences. In part 2 of his response Schloss addresses two related questions – “Is non-human death an evil?” and allowing perhaps that it is evil of a sort, especially the death of a sentient creature – a favorite cat, a crafty squirrel, or a wildebeast, he asks “Is non-human death a permissible evil?“ Part 3 moves on to consider a point raised by Prof. Laing, and an important issue for many: The understandable theological uneasiness expressed by John and many others about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God’s creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution. In this regard John makes two important claims: a) “…natural selection, with its emphasis on a natural state characterized by competition for limited resources and a general struggle for survival, is the primary means by which speciation takes place…” b) “death actually functions as a mechanism for life. Death plays a vital role in natural selection by rooting out weakness and driving evolutionary development.” For reasons I discussed in the previous section, it is not entirely clear that death constitutes an evil that is incommensurate with divine activity. However, the fact is that the above depiction of evolution—which is not unique to John amongst public commentators and is largely commensurate with Darwin’s own views—does not adequately portray current discussions within evolutionary biology. There are three problems with this portrayal that I’d like to address in turn—three aspects of evolutionary theory that need to be better understood. In his ensuing comments Schloss gives a brief discussion of these three points. 1. Natural selection is not the only mechanism of evolution, and may not be the sole, or even the primary, means of speciation. Evolution is much more complex than simply competition and natural selection. 2. Competition does not play quite the role Darwin, or many others have suggested. Schloss points out that competition is neither necessary or sufficient for speciation. 3. Death is a part of life – but Schloss suggests that death does not drive evolution. Survival and fitness drive evolution. To the three points raised by Schloss I would add a fourth, related somewhat to his third. 4. Evolution does not require violent or “unnatural” death. It is driven not by death, but by success in reproduction. Every member of a species that goes extinct could live a “normal” life and die a “peaceful” death. The idea that life is not permanent is not a new idea – it is consistent with Calvin’s commentary on Genesis for example. Immortality is not a natural part of creation, but is a divine gift of God. This I believe scripture clearly teaches. This is not a final, or exhaustive answer to the questions raised by John Laing … but grounds to start a conversation. Is the role of death in evolution a deal breaker? Does Laing or Schloss convince you? How would you respond to either side of this argument? If you wish to you may contact me directly at rjs4mail[at]att.net.

We are THRILLED to welcome Anita Krajnc to Winnipeg VegFest 2019! Anita is the founder of Toronto Pig Save and the inspiration behind The Save Movement. Anita shot to international fame in 2015, following the now-famous protest outside of Fearman’s slaughterhouse in Burlington, Ontario — an incident that resulted in a high-profile lawsuit. Anita has long taken inspiration from Leo Tolstoy, who wrote, “When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.” Anita has long enacted the moral imperative to bear witness by feeding water to animals on their way to slaughter. Anita’s 2015 trial was a landmark moment in the history of the animal liberation movement. Happily, the judge dismissed the case. Anita has since become a hero to animal liberation activists worldwide. Since 2015, local chapters of the Save Movement have sprung up all over the world, modeled after Anita’s powerful example. Today, Anita continues her calling of bearing witness to animals. She is also working on a documentary and writing a short history of the Save Movement. Most recently, she launched Climate Save Movement, a grassroots effort to bring an end to the fossil fuel and animal agriculture industries. Anita is truly a real-life superwoman! And this September, Anita will speak at Winnipeg VegFest 2019! PLEASE NOTE: in keeping with her principled refusal to fly, Anita will be speaking by Skype, a decision we absolutely respect!

Taylor (TK) Klinefelter I grew up in Tempe, Arizona, also known as “I don’t do snow.” What do you do for TFT? I’m a Trip Director in Europe and Africa during the summer and I do a little bit of everything for TFT’s content and program planning during the rest of the year. What were you doing before you started working for TFT? I was a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the education sector in Cameroon. My primary project was as a secondary education teacher and I also specialised in training other education PCVs and their counterparts about combatting gender-based violence in their schools and communities. What sparked your love of travel? My first summer camp counsellor was a young woman named Lauren from Tasmania and as a ten-year-old I just thought that was the coolest thing ever. When I was 17 and was an assistant counsellor at the same summer camp, I made loads of friends from England, Wales, Scotland, Australia, and even Slovenia that summer, many of whom I have visited in their home countries since then. I even went to one of their weddings (ten years after meeting them!) right after finishing my final TFT trip last summer! Your spirit animal: Honey badger – any animal that bites straight back to the throat of whatever prey is trying to kill it (usually a lioness) is animal awesomeness to the max! Is there something you absolutely love doing that is a bit touristy in each city that you visit? Red bus tours…guilty as charged, though let’s just pretend that I said free walking tours because those are a great way to see new places too. Strangest place you’ve ever lived: To the average person…Cameroon. To me…Hungary. What is the most adventurous thing that you’ve ever done while traveling? Off-roading in a pickup truck to get to Big Daddy Dune in Sossusvlei, Namibia even though I wasn’t very good at driving a manual…and I was the only person not to get us stuck in the sand along the way! Have you ever done a solo trip? Why or why not? I’ve travelled alone more times than I can count, but it has always been to visit friends or family, so I was never on my own more than a day or two while at my destination. Last March I wanted to go somewhere for my birthday, so I went on Skyscanner to see where the cheapest international flights were to for that month and the first two results were Zanzibar, Tanzania and Mombasa, Kenya, so I decided to spend about one week in each. I also travelled via Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to and from East Africa, so that was actually a lot of fun too! Both parts of the trip really challenged me to put myself out there and see what I wanted to see on my own but also meet people along the way and make plans with them. It hasn’t even been a year since that trip and I have already hosted one person who I met in Ethiopia and two people who I met in Kenya and also met up with one of them in London too! Best local mode of transport you’ve taken: Donkey. My friends and I toured a small community in Lesotho called Semonkong and also used horses to travel through the mountains. I definitely wish I had been wrapped in one of their traditional blankets for that – it was freezing! Which destinations are next on your travel to-do list? Do you ever hit the snooze button on your alarm when you are traveling? When I’m leading a TFT trip? I set two different alarms. When I’m not leading a TFT trip? Occasionally! How do you take your coffee? (Or are you more of a tea person?) Most mornings I take my coffee black and throw in a little bit of agave syrup when I’m at home. In the evenings during the (surprisingly) cold South African winters, I love rooibos chai tea with a touch a milk and a yummy rusk!

FLORIDA, United States, Thursday July 30, 2015 – Forecasters are keeping their eyes on two systems in the Atlantic with a small chance of developing over the next few days, as the second month of the quiet 2015 hurricane season nears an end. Early this morning, the National Hurricane Centre (NHC) in Miami said a tropical wave accompanied by a broad area of low pressure, located a couple hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, has a 10 per cent chance of forming in the next 48 hours, and a 30 per cent chance of forming over the next five days. It could become better organized over the next few days and develop into a tropical depression. However, the NHC said: “Although this system is currently producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms, further development, if any, will be slow to occur while it moves westward near 15 mph during the next several days.” There is also an elongated area of low pressure located east of the coast of northern Florida, which is accompanied by disorganized thunderstorm activity. Although it is over very warm ocean water, forecasters says strong shear is likely to inhibit further tropical development and the system will become absorbed into a southward moving cool front by Friday night. The chance of formation within 48 hours is 10 per cent, as is the chance for development in the next five days. The July 1 to November 30 Atlantic hurricane season which is expected to be below normal this year, has featured three tropical storms so far – Ana, Bill and Claudette. None has posed any danger to the Caribbean and have caused little, if any damage, elsewhere.

DWSSC India: Changing Lives One Step At A Time January 25th, 2018 / 4:39 PM Representational Image: Asia Monitor Resource Centre “I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. After a difficult childhood, I got married at the age of 18 with a 23-year-old man. Due to ill-treatment at my in-law’s house, I was forced to leave and go back to my native village to earn my bread with dignity. I almost lost all hope in life. At that time, I heard about Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna (PMKVY) courses that were being run by Anand Skill Training Centre (ASTC) Kirari Suleman Nagar. I took admission in the Child Caretaker job role. I got both theory and practical classes including OJT (On Job Training) for 240 hours. After the successful completion of my course, I gained the confidence I had lost after my unsuccessful married life. The course has improved my communication and life skills. My leadership qualities were appreciated by the ASTC team and I got the offer to mobilize trainees for the Anand Skill Training Centre. Finally, I got reason to enjoy life working with ASTC as a community mobilizer. It has also changed the economic condition of my family and now I am also an earning hand. I would like to thank PMKVY and ASTC for giving me a beautiful opportunity. Today, I am not a woman peeping from shadows. I am Mohseena.” Millions like Mohseena are finding new hopes in life, thanks to a well-organized initiative of a Sector Skill Council registered as a not-for-profit organization – Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council or DWSSC. Set up in 2015 under the aegis of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and the National Skill Development Corporation, DWSSC India looks to skill one of India’s largest groups of unorganized workers, domestic workers – one of the most vital parts of the millennial growth engine. DWSSC identifies and organises key sectors where domestic workers can find employment. It addresses the skill gap problem and develops training curricula based on industry demands and expectations. The objectives of this organization are: - Establishing a nation-wide institutional network for development of skills and efficiency among the domestic workers in India. - Improving linkages between the client and the agent party with reliable promises for quality service and fair payment. - To develop a Labour Market Information System (LMIS); this would keep an archival collection of the profiles of domestic workers in India, to narrow down complications. It would also keep track of the market demand and the list of organizations working in the sector. - To define job roles and set occupation standards, career progression maps and functional maps for all job roles in the domestic workers’ sector - To build institutional capacities and promote institutions servicing the sector to deliver skills training and recognition services for domestic workers. - To help in the making of a secure and healthy work atmosphere for the domestic workers. According to the NSSO data on employment and unemployment, the number of domestic workers in urban areas seem to have increased by 68% in the decade between 1999-2000 and 2009-2010. When the statistics are such and the livelihood of so many people depends on working as domestic helps, this sector cannot be ignored. The notion that domestic help is an easy job that doesn’t require any skill set is flawed and needs to change. The majority of people who work as domestic help are women. While common perception might make one thing that men working in offices is a respectable job, while women engaged in domestic work isn’t – they fail to acknowledge that managing a household requires multiple skills. Since time immemorial, women’s household work has been looked down upon while men are seen as ‘breadwinners’ of the family. Today, there are no gender roles as both men and women work in offices and as domestic help; and both the jobs require skills. Working as a babysitter is not an extension of a woman’s maternal skills, it is a job that demands a certain ability and experience. The number of opportunities in the field of domestic work makes skills an important factor more than ever before. How DWSSC Is Helping Domestic Workers DWSSC strives to restore the dignity of these invaluable workers with solid efficacy and support. DWSSC has played a pivotal role in the framing of the National Policy on Domestic Workers and Jharkhand Private Placement Agencies Act. It has redefined job roles and assigned the needed designations to different domestic works: - General Housekeeper, - Housekeeper cum Cook - Child Caretaker - Elderly Caretaker (Non-Clinical) - General Executive (Institutional/House) - Caregiver of Kids with Special Ability - Caregiver of Mother and Newborn, - Baby Caregiver - Home Cook DWSSC believes, and continues to propagate the idea that domestic work is real work and not a mere articulation of a woman’s natural instinct. With a healthy amalgamation of technical and traversal skills, the Qualifications Registration Committee of NSDC, mapping the needs and aspirations of the employers and workers has vetted the training modules. The training programmes focus on hygiene, general housekeeping norms, usage of modern household appliances in a safe manner, etc. The other educative measures are giving classes on handling the emotional labour (mostly for the caregiver jobs, customized for each category), a basic level of academic knowledge, even touching up on the POCSO Act, 2012 (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) acts for rightly dealing with children. The effort aims to make the job area aspirational instead of being a last resort, which also taps on the entrepreneurship possibilities. The Occupational Map that they have created seeks to outline the career progression of domestic workers not only vertically but also laterally and diagonally. DWSSC has trained, assessed and certified close to 10,000 people across the nation under the Recognition of Prior Learning and Short Term Training Programme. The empanelled Training Partners have a robust mobilization team which goes to the communities and spreads the word about DWSSC and the courses that they offer. NGOs and even ILO has come forward to aid them as advocacy partners. The organisation is also initiating discussions with Trade Unions and Labour Unions to associate with them and support the Skill India Mission. “They Changed My Life” First hand accounts, like story of Mohseena, clearly point out the positive effect DWSSC has had on their lives. Subhagmati, a young woman migrated from Gorakhpur, UP who has been staying in Karan Vihar for the last 10 years. She has another story to tell. Subhagmati was not much educated and was reluctant to come out of her house and talk to people. PMKVY came as a boon to her and she got enrolled in DWSSC’s housekeeper cum cook course. After attending a two and a half months course she had a substantive change in her outlook towards life. She recollects with confidence, “Mere ander yahan aakar uthne, baithne aur bolne me bahut farak aaya, Ab mein sab sae ache sae bat kar sakti hu ghar aur bahar dono me”. She is now working as domestic helper in Paschim Vihar and earning Rs. 8000/- per month and living happily. Apart from the immediate objectives, the organization cherishes long-run goals, planning up to 2026. Along with the PM’s vision of training 2.5 million by then, the goals are statistically summarized as: ➢ No. of Trades for which Training of Trainers to be conducted – 20 ➢ No. of Training Organizations to be accredited – 525 ➢ No. of Trainers to be trained – 1050 ➢ No. of Persons to be certified – 25,56,600 The Logical Indian Take The DWSSC has the noble aim of supporting the poor, disorganized and often exploited mass of the workforce in a life-changing manner. Most of us in our urban chambers do not realize the importance of domestic workers in our lives. Those of us working in offices, do the work we specialize at. However, the work of a domestic help is manifold and requires immense people skills. They do not work in the comfort of air conditioners and cozy armchairs but carry out tasks that require both physical and mental ability. We don’t realise how different and difficult our lives would’ve been if there wasn’t someone to clean the house, do the dishes, cook the food, take care of the children, drop them at school, etc. The sole reason we can work at jobs we want and take vacations we desire is because there is someone at home doing all the chores and taking care of the house. Can you imagine what it would be like to come home after a day’s work to a messy house or not find healthy cooked food? The comfort of our homes plays a crucial role for our mental peace. We can take out time for ourselves because there are people who cut the same time out of their lives to give us a better living. It is time we start a discourse around this subject and spread awareness about the importance of domestic work. DWSSC is doing tremendous work in this regard – not only is the organisation training the workers but educating people about their roles in daily lives. It is a need of the hour to make the existence and effectiveness of this organization a common knowledge so that more and more people find the way to an efficient service sector and respect its work.

Article in KOSMO PRESS STATEMENT 21 FEBRUARY 2013 The Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) and Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) strongly condemn the irresponsible statement by Datuk Fuad Hassan, Director General of JASA (Jabatan Hal Ehwal Khas/ Department of Special Affairs) that he suspects we have an understanding with those who want to see that the Barisan Nasional Government be brought down. The allegation is baseless and highly defamatory. His accusation that we have not criticized the Kedah State Government led by PAS for logging activities in Tasik Pedu and Gunung Inas but politicized everything involving the Federal Government is baseless and only exposes his ignorance and desperation. He has no right to accuse us who have been fighting for social and environmental justice, of being not patriotic and serving the agenda of foreign NGOs. CAP and SAM are grassroots, non-profit, non-governmental organization and since inception have been apolitical in fighting for community rights and environmental justice. We hereby state that in the field of environmental protection, CAP and SAM are fearless advocates of the people's right to a healthy environment. We have championed the interest of citizens and communities against pollution and unsustainable use and management of land and other natural resources in all states in Malaysia. We do not select which issues to act on based on political affiliation or leadership of a state. We assist communities that have been or likely to be adversely affected by development projects or extraction and exploitation of natural resources. It does not matter whether the communities or the issues are in a State led by the ruling or opposition party. On the issue of logging in Kedah, even as recent as 31 January 2013, CAP and SAM held a press conference with the Friends of Ulu Muda coalition to highlight logging in Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, an important water catchment forest. Over the years, CAP has also been writing letters to the relevant authorities and issued press statements regarding forest destruction in Gunung Raya in Langkawi; Rimba Teloi in Sik; Bukit Perak in Pendang; Gunung Bongsu in Kulim; Gunung Inas and Pedu. Besides logging issues, CAP and SAM have been critical over genetic engineering, nuclear energy, development of dams, incinerators, mega road projects such as the Penang Outer Ring Road, Kuala Lumpur Outer Ring Road, the shelved Highlands Highway project on the Main Range, etc. We have also taken the Penang State Government to task for approval of hill development projects as well as the proposed projects which include an underwater tunnel linking Gurney Drive and Bagan Ajam; three highways – a bypass connecting Gurney Drive to the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, a link between Bandar Baru Air Itam to the same expressway and a dual-link road connecting Tanjung Bungah to Teluk Bahang which would have serious environmental impacts. There are hundreds of communities that we have assisted and we have fought many destructive technologies and development projects. None of these are done because we were directed by any political party or funder. We are impartial in opposing the abuse of power and will keep on fighting injustice. Datuk Fuad Hassan’s statement constitutes a very serious libel on CAP and SAM and we are referring the matter to our lawyers for taking necessary action. S.M. MOHAMED IDRIS

Modern security applications have improved tremendously through integrated circuit (IC) technology. IC introduced critical advancements in compliance and counterfeit identifiers through unique and covert markings. However, the lack of consistency, quality, and availability of covert marking systems prevent advancement within this field. Current technologies utilize silicon cores to application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). These circuits are complicated, consume additional power, and add significant area (and cost) to the target circuit board. These current disadvantages result in high price technologies and low quality products. Therefore, there is a need for economically balanced identifier technology for security operations. Researchers at Arizona State University have invented fluorescent dendrites tags for unique identification. These silver dendritic tags are ultra-thin (<10 nm), multi-branching structures, and invisible to the naked eye. The fluorophore coating on the tags allows these markings to be visible under ultraviolet light, similar to government documents and currencies. Because the tag patterns are one-of-a-kind, wavelengths and capacitance produce a unique signals. The signals can be algorithmically analyzed to produce a code, similar to fingerprint recognition systems. The unique qualities of fluorescent dendritic tags make them relevant to identification, authentication, and encryption technologies and applications. - Internet commerce - Unique identification - Anti-counterfeiting authentication - Data encryption Benefits and Advantages - Unique – The dendritic tags weave into patterns that are one-of-a-kind and are capable of optical and electrical recognition. - High quality – Ultra-thin dendritic growth on electrolyte films, selective coating, and fluorescence characterization eliminates experimental variables. - Low Cost – Thin film device may be added to any circuit or substrate with little area penalty and operated at extremely low power.

Recently, MSAA published an article highlighting the vital information presented at this year’s Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the Annual Meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC). This article, now available on MSAA’s website, features a large collection of research summaries, which provide a quick overview of the results of several important studies in the treatment of MS. Topics featured in this article include: - Disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in research pipeline - Long-term efficacy, safety, and comparative analysis of approved DMTs - Wellness strategies, laughter therapy, and reproductive-health topics, including information on exercise, symptom management, pregnancy, and more Read an excerpt on laughter therapy here: Researchers at Evergreen Health in Kirkland, Washington, conducted a prospective, open trial of laughter therapy (LT) for 31 participants: 17 with MS, eight with Parkinson’s disease, two with spinal cord injury, and the remainder with other disorders of the central nervous system. After participating in eight, 60-minute laughter therapy classes taught by a certified LT instructor (yes, there is such a thing), participants who completed the course saw an improvement from baseline in their scores on a measure of depression. Scores on a separate measure of anxiety essentially were unchanged from baseline. “Our findings show that LT may reduce depression and be administered across a variety of neurological deficits, including for people with limited exercise options due to severe disability,” the researchers noted.

I bought Metal Gear Solid 4 last Thursday night and ended up finishing it around 4AM (6AM if you count the hours of footage after the final boss) on Saturday morning. I just could not put it down and was drawn into it. Without checking the stats, I ended up with around 20 hours? of game time. Remember this includes watching the 8+ hours? of just movie footage. Hours of footage could totally be wrong as I just threw this out there, never counted or checked anywhere online. Now I have never played the MGS series before, I have known about it and seen my brother play some levels here and there on some of the previous installments but just never got into it. I wasn’t much a PS/console gamer back than either. If there was a possible score higher than a 10/10, this game would get it. I have never played such a game where not only am I drawn into the game but everything they did to make the game, gameplay or actual movie footage and so much more. I have just never experience what I have experienced in this game before. I’m no way comparing GTA4 to MGS4 but I do not think after playing this that GTA4 really deserves a 10/10 at all. My brother keeps telling me to try some previous games of the series. I doubt I’ll do it, there are too many other games to play, those that I have not finished yet, have yet to play or have not come out yet. Plus, I love how MGS4 is, I doubt I’d dislike how the game is in the previous title or two but I’m not sure if I’d have a lot of fun (but I doubt it, I probably would still) because I love the little things that I don’t think previous installments have like how you can just buy weapons and customizations on the fly and everything else. Anyways, In conclusion, this game exceeds 10/10 (if were possible). Now as any game out there, it has its flaws so it’s not absolutely perfect. But I still think it would deserve a score of 10/10 or higher if that were possible. Rarely do I ever find a game like this. Though I didn’t know the entire backstory behind MGS, only knew a little going into it. In the end I understood a lot, maybe not everything but I think you can definitely just jump in this game without playing previous. It helps you out, they could of done a LOT better with the story line, explaining it to you, cutting down the movies so they are not so long but it’s alright in the end. I also learned more by searching the net and/or using wikipedia. I would not consider it awesome enough to resort to going out and buying a PS3 just to play this game unless you have other games you plan on playing on the PS3. Which are not many at all, still better off with an Xbox 360. Yet, this game is definitely worth having a look at if you do own a PS3. Yes, you may have to update your PS3’s firmware before you can play the game. You will have to install a few files before you can start playing the game (took like 8 minutes to start with) and then every so often, little installs of a few minutes or less will take place. I am not going to say it was fine and not annoying but it’s also was not a problem to me to walk away for a minute, you will probably not like being taken from the gameplay to watch movies that most of the time, last around 15 minutes or even longer as you get into the game. You will not want to skip them though unless your on your second or more play through. It’s still a good game to buy or at least, rent. Definitely beatable in most rental time periods if you have the time or get GameFly.

Pictures from Hamas' Facebook page showing Gazans waiting on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing to enter the Gaza Strip. Sayeed Muhammad Yahya, from Jenin, who died in Syria fighting in the ranks of ISIS (Facebook page of Jenin al-Hadath, August 19, 2015). - This past week terrorist events focused on the four rockets launched into Israeli territory from the Syrian-controlled central Golan Heights. Two rocket hits were identified in the Upper Galilee and two in the Golan Heights. It was the first barrage of rockets launched from Syria at the Galilee Panhandle since the Yom Kippur War (October 1973). In response the IDF attacked Syrian army targets. The day after the rocket attack Israel Air Force aircraft struck the terrorist squad that launched the rockets, killing four or five operatives. - The IDF Spokesman reported that a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) squad fired the rockets. According to Israeli security sources, the squad was handled by Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestinian department of the Iranian Qods Force. The PIJ denied any connection to the rocket attack. - This past week popular terrorism continued in Judea and Samaria, manifested mainly by Molotov cocktails and stones thrown at Israeli security forces and civilians. The Israel Security Agency reported the detention of two Palestinian terrorist squads involved in throwing Molotov cocktails and stones. In ITIC assessment, that indicates that in some instances population terrorism is not spontaneous or carried out by lone wolf terrorists, but rather premeditated and initiated by local networks. Rocket Fire from Syria - At 1730 hours on August 20, 2015, four rockets were fired into Israel from the Syrian-controlled central Golan Heights. Two rocket hits were identified in the Upper Galilee and two in the Golan Heights. There were no casualties but the rockets caused fires (IDF Spokesman, August 21, 2015). It was the first barrage of rockets launched from Syria at the Galilee Panhandle since the Yom Kippur War (October 1973). According to Israeli security sources quoted by the Israeli media, the rockets were fired by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) squad directed by Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestinian department of the Iranian Qods Force, among whose activities is smuggling arms from Syria into Lebanon. - In response to the rocket fire the Israel Air Force (IAF), armored and artillery units attacked 14 targets in the Syrian-controlled central Golan Heights (IDF Spokesman, August 21, 2015). According to a high-ranking IDF officer, the attack was larger that previous IDF responses to rocket fire from the Syrian Golan Heights. They included Syrian army targets several kilometers from the Israeli border. According to reports, the IDF attacked artillery batteries and other Syrian targets deployed in the Quneitra region (Haaretz, August 21, 2015). - According to reports in the Syrian media, the transportation authority and a Quneitra district structure were attacked near the village of Koum in the Quneitra region (Syrian satellite TV, August 21, 2015). Syrian army soldiers from the 90th artillery brigade were reportedly injured (Al-Nashra, August 21, 2015). The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that seven people were killed in the attack, including a Syrian officer (www.syriahr.com, August 21, 2015). - On August 21, the day after the rocket attack and following surveillance of the squad behind it, IAF aircraft struck the PIJ squad responsible for the rocket fire. The strike was carried out 15 kilometers (a little more than nine miles) inside Syrian territory at a location under Syrian army control. Four or five of the terrorist squad operatives were apparently killed (IDF Spokesman, August 21, 2015). Responses to the Rocket Fire - A (fictitious) network calling itself "the Al-Baath Battalions" issued a death notice for five of its operatives, killed in the IAF attack in a vehicle on a road near Quneitra. The notice named five operatives from the Al-Wafadeen refugee camp (located in the rural area east of Damascus): Muhammad Tayseer Shehadeh Mutlaq, Yusuf Fathi al-Khatib, Abdu Hishan, Muhammad Hishan and Ghias Abu Issa (Facebook page of PALTODAY, August 32, 2015). - The PIJ issueda (false) statement claiming it had no connection to the vehicle attacked near Quneitra. It claimed its military operatives did not act in those areas but only on Palestinian soil (Al-Manar, August 22, 2015). - PIJ spokesman Daud Shihab claimed Israel was using the announcement to distract attention from the affair of administrative detainee Muhammad Allan. Senior PIJ figure Khaled al-Batash denied the Israeli claim that the PIJ was responsible for the rocket fire from Syrian territory. He claimed it was a baseless accusation, and an Israeli attempt to export Israel's administrative detainee crisis and entangle the PIJ in struggles taking place beyond the borders of Palestine (Ma'an News Agency, August 21, 2015). - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "The IDF hit both the cell that carried out the firing and the Syrian forces that made it possible. We have no intention to escalate events…[but] The countries that are rushing to embrace Iran should know that it was an Iranian commander who directed and supported the cell that fired at Israel [ITIC emphasis]" (Website of the office of the Israeli prime minister, August 21, 2015). Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said that eliminating the squad was more proof that Israel would not stand for any attempt to disrupt daily life or sabotage the security of its citizens. He said that anyone who wanted to do either would be hunted down and found by the IDF and the Israeli security forces (Ynet, August 21, 2015). Terrorist Attack on the Tunnel Road South of Jerusalem - On the evening of August 19, 2015, a Palestinian went to the IDF post located over the roadblock of the tunnel at the entrance to Beit Jala (south of Jerusalem). He threw an improvised bomb at the soldiers manning the post. An IDF soldier was seriously wounded and evacuated for medical treatment (IDF Spokesman, August 19, 2015). - The social media posted a notice from Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in Bethlehem claiming responsibility for the attack. According to the notice, it was in response to the "crimes" committed against the Palestinian people by Israeli settlers and security forces. The notice also claimed the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade intended to intensify its attacks on the [Israeli] "occupation" and IDF forces until the "liberation of Palestine." Riots, Clashes and Popular Terrorism - This past week violence and popular terrorism continued at the usual locations in Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem, part of what the Palestinians call the "popular resistance" (i.e., popular terrorism). The violence mainly centered on throwing stones, rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli security forces and civilians. Prominent this past week was the increase in attacks in Jerusalem and its surroundings. Left: A Palestinian on the background of a Fatah flag throws a rock at Israeli security forces in Kafr Qaddum (Facebook page of the village of Qaddum, August 21, 2015). Right: Palestinians throw stones at Israeli security forces in Kafr Qaddum (Wafa News Agency, August 21, 2015). - The most prominent attacks were the following: - On August 23, 2015, Palestinians threw stones at Israeli vehicles near a gas station on Route 443 (which links Modi'in and Jerusalem). There were no casualties; cars were damaged (Tazpit News Agency, August 23, 2015). - On August 23, 2015, Palestinians threw dozens of Molotov cocktails at Israeli police and Border Police forces in the village of Issawiya (east Jerusalem). There were no casualties (Red Alert, August 23, 2015). - On August 22, 2015, Palestinians threw Molotov cocktails at a roadblock in Hebron (Red Alert, August 23, 2015). - On August 21, 2015, Palestinians shot at an IDF force operating in the Nablus region. There were no casualties (Red Alert, August 21, 2015). - On August 21, 2015, Palestinians threw stones and Molotov cocktails at Israeli vehicles on near a gas station Route 443. There were no casualties. The Israeli security forces searched the area to locate the attackers (Red Alert, August 21, 2015). - On August 20, 2015, Palestinians threw stones at the light railway in the Shuafat region of east Jerusalem. There were no casualties; the railway was damaged (Red Alert, August 20, 2015). - On August 19, 2015, Palestinians threw stones at two vehicles on Route 45 near Jerusalem, between the Atarot Junction and the Benzion Netanyahu Exchange. A baby girl one year and ten months old and her father were injured; their vehicle was damaged (Facebook page of the Israel Police Force, August 19, 2015). The Israeli vehicle attacked on Route 45 near Jerusalem (Facebook page of PALDF, August 19, 2015). - On August 19, 2015, masked Palestinians threw stones and Molotov cocktails at Israeli police and Border Police forces in Issawiya (east Jerusalem). A policeman was injured by a Molotov cocktail (Facebook page of the Israel Police Force, August 19, 2015). - On August 19, 2015, Palestinians threw stones at an Israeli bus and two other vehicles at the A-Tor Junction in east Jerusalem. Five passengers were injured and the windows of the bus were damaged. Palestinian Violence in Beit Jala to Protest Israeli Intention to Confiscate Land - The Palestinian media reported that a number of Palestinians were injured by tear gas inhalation during a riot held by Palestinians in the region of Bir Onah (near Beit Jala) on August 32, 2015. The Palestinians were protesting Israel's intention to complete the border security fence in the area, following a ruling by the Israeli Supreme Court. Participants in the violence included Muslim and Christian clerics, as well as Mustafa Barghouti (secretary general of the Palestinian National Initiative and a member of the PLO's Executive Committee). In addition Abdallah Abu Rahma and Munzir Amira, both "popular resistance" activists, also participated. During the riot the Palestinians uprooted a barbed wire fence (Ma'an and Wafa news agencies, August 23, 2015). Left: Palestinian rioters lift the gate they destroyed (Ma'an News Agency, August 23, 2015). Right: Palestinian rioters with Mustafa Barghouti in the center (yellow circle), push a barbed wire gate to rip it out of its moorings (Wafa News Agency, August 23, 2015). Detention of Two Palestinian Molotov Cocktail-Throwing Squads - The Israeli security forces detained two squads of Palestinians who threw Molotov cocktails and stones at Israeli security forces and vehicles (Israel Security Agency, August 23 and 24, 2015): - The operatives of the squad from Beit Hanina (northeast of Jerusalem) were suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli vehicles and wounding three Israeli civilians. Two of the squad operatives held Israeli ID cards, minors aged 16 and 17. During interrogation they admitted the attacks were premeditated and were in retaliation for the murder of the Palestinian baby in the village of Duma. - The operatives of the squad from the village of Beita (near Nablus) were suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails from their vehicle at Israeli vehicles and throwing stones at Israeli security forces. One of the Palestinians, 21 years old, was a Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist operative. Throwing Molotov cocktails and stones is the main modus operandi of the popular terrorism called the "popular resistance" by the Palestinians. In ITIC assessment the detention of the two squads indicates that in some cases the attacks are not spontaneous or carried out by lone wolf terrorists, but rather planned and organized by local networks. Terrorist Attacks – July 2015 - nAccording to the Israel Security Agency, during July there was a slight decrease in the number of terrorist attacks in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem. Palestinians carried out a total of 105 terrorist attacks, compared with 123 in June 2015: - Distribution – In Judea and Samaria there were 63 terrorist attacks (69 in June 2015), 42 in Jerusalem (51 in June 2015). - Modus operandi – Most of the attacks (90 of 105) involved Molotov cocktails. There was one stabbing attack near Beitilu (Ramallah area), two attacks which involved small arms fire, 12 instances of IEDs and an improvised hand grenade. - Casualties – Three members of the Israeli security forces were wounded: one soldier was stabbed in the attack near Beitilu (near Ramallah) (July 15, 2015). Two policemen were wounded when Palestinians threw Molotov cocktails and stones in Issawiya (east Jerusalem) (July 26, 2015). Administrative Detainee Ends Hunger Strike - This past week there was an improvement in the condition of administrative detainee Muhammad Allan, a PIJ terrorist operative. However, a short time later his condition deteriorated and he was sedated and put on life support. As a result of his condition the Supreme Court temporarily cancelled his administrative detention; it will be reinstated when his condition improves. Concerned he might die, the IAF deployed the Iron Dome aerial defense system in Ashdod and Beersheba, concerned the PIJ in the Gaza Strip might fire rockets into Israel. Following the Supreme Court ruling Muhammad Allan ended his hunger strike (media interviews indicated he was recuperating). - The Palestinians viewed the Supreme Court ruling as victory over Israel and Muhammad Allan's tactics as successful. The PIJ praised his "victory," claiming it was a victory for all Palestine and the "resistance" (i.e., the path of terrorism). Muhammad Allan claimed that if Israel detained him again he would go on another hunger strike (Alresala.net, August 22, 2015). - Palestinian figures had the following to say: - Issa Qaraqa, chairman of the Palestinian Committee of Prisoners' Affairs, claimed it was a victory for Muhammad Allan, who had overcome the [so-called Israeli] occupation with a hunger strike that lasted 65 days. He claimed the Israeli government's objective had been for Allan to die, but his determination had conquered and forced Israel to abandon its attempt to kill him (Wafa News Agency, August 20, 2015). He claimed the Palestinians were trying to leverage the entire issue of the prisoners into convening a large legal conference in Jordan with the participation of local and international experts, to expose Israel's policy to the international community (Voice of Palestine Radio, August 19, 2015). - Senior PIJ figure Khaled al-Batash claimed the release of Muhammad Allan was a victory for the spirit of the Palestinians and all the prisoners. He claimed Israel was responsible for Allan's condition (Almayadeen, August 21, 2015). The Crossings – Recent Developments The Rafah Crossing - This past week the Rafah crossing was open for four days, August 17-20, 2015. On August 21, 2015, the Egyptians announced they were reclosing the crossing (Veto, August 21, 2015). - Iyad al-Bazam, spokesman for the Hamas ministry of the interior in the Gaza Strip, issued an announcement claiming that in the four days during which the Rafah crossing had been open, 2,579 Gazans with humanitarian issues had left the Gaza Strip for Egypt. He claimed 3,178 people had entered the Gaza Strip from Egypt. Egypt, he claimed, had prevented 146 Gazans from returning to the Gaza Strip. He added that he had no information about when the Rafah crossing would reopen (Facebook page of Iyad al-Bazam, August 21, 2015). - During the days the Rafah crossing was open, the Egyptian authorities allowed 65 Gazans to fly out of Cairo's airport (Akhbar Al-Youm, August 21, 2015). On the other hand, there were reports of difficulties raised by the Egyptian authorities for the exit of senior Hamas figures. The Egyptian security forces at the Cairo airport detained Hassan al-Sifi, chairman of the Hamas-affiliated ministry of religious endowments (waqf) in the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian authorities also reportedly refused to allow medical treatment in Egypt for Ihab al-Ghussin, a senior member of Hamas' information office, who suffered a stroke (Samaa, August 19, 2015). It was also reported that Egypt refused to grant Hamas' request to allow a delegation of its senior figures to leave the Gaza Strip (Alquds.com, August 20, 2015). The School Year Begins in the Gaza Strip - UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl announced the UNRWA school year would begin in the Gaza Strip on August 24, 2015, following the agency's successful mobilizing of funds to cover most of its deficit. The $78.9 million deficit was covered by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and the United States. Suhail al-Hindi, chairman of the UNRWA workers' union in the Gaza Strip, praised the decision (Al-Ra'i, August 19, 2015). Four Palestinians Abducted in the Sinai Peninsula - On the evening of August 19, 2015, armed men attacked a bus in the Sinai Peninsula carrying Gazans from Rafah to the Cairo airport and abducted four passengers. Hamas issued a formal announcement claiming that a group of armed men shot at the bus, stopping it. They then got on the bus, called the names of four passengers and took them off. Conflicting reports of the identities of the abductors have been issued: - Egyptian security sources reported that according to an investigation conducted by Egyptian general intelligence, operatives of ISIS's Sinai Province abducted the Gazans, apparently to exert pressure on Hamas to release fifty Salafi-jihadists detained by Hamas. The Egyptian sources also reported that the Sinai Province had threatened to kill the abductees if Hamas did not agree to its terms (Ma'an News Agency, August 20, 2015). - A Hamas source denied the report that the abductors were operatives of ISIS's Sinai Province. The source claimed that according to information he possessed, Egyptian security operatives had been involved in the abduction (Al-Risala, August 20, 2015). However, Hamas also announced that its relations with Egypt would not be influenced by the event and that Hamas would be in contact with official Egyptian agencies to investigate the event and secure the release of the abductees (Official Hamas website, August 20 2015). - Egypt, however, denied the claims made by Hamas that its security forces were behind the abduction. An Egyptian source reported that the four abducted Gazans were operatives of Hamas' military wing and were on their way to Turkey to meet with other senior Hamas figures (Alarabiya.net, August 22, 2015). - Senior Hamas figures said the following: - The Hamas-affiliated ministry of the interior in the Gaza Strip demanded that the Egyptian authorities protect the lives of the four abductees (Aljazeera.net, August 20, 2015). Interior ministry spokesman Iyad al-Bazam claimed they were holding urgent contacts with the Egyptian authorities to understand the circumstances of the event. He called on Egypt to protect the lives of the abductees (Facebook page of Iyad al-Bazam, August 19, 2015). - Ghazi Hamad, Hamas' deputy foreign minister, claimed the event was very grave and had been carefully planned. He also claimed there were many signs pointing to the identity of those behind the abduction. - Musa Abu Marzouq, a member of Hamas' political bureau, claimed Egypt was responsible for the abduction and that he had many doubts and questions about the circumstances (PalInfo, August 22, 2015). - Senior Hamas figure Musheir al-Masri claimed contacts with Egypt continued. He claimed the abductors had intelligence about the bus and its passengers from the moment it left the Rafah crossing (Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, August 22, 2015).

Square in Rafah Named for Senior Hamas Military Wing Commanders - On August 22, 2015, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military-terrorist wing, held a march in Rafah to mark the anniversary of the deaths of Ra'ed al-Attar, Muhammad Abu Shamala and Muhammad Barhoum, all senior Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades operatives, who were killed in Operation Protective Edge. After the march a new square was inaugurated and named for the three. A model of a Qassam rocket was set up in the square along with pictures of the three operatives (Facebook page of Quds.net, August 22, 2015). Left: The new square in Rafah named for the three terrorist operatives. Right: The march held by Hamas' military-terrorist wing in Rafah (Facebook page of Quds.net, August 22, 2015). Interview with Khaled Mashaal - On August 22, 2015, Khaled Mashaal, head of Hamas' political bureau, was interviewed by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. He discussed a number of issues currently on the Hamas leadership's agenda: - Initiatives for a lull agreement with Israel: According to Khaled Mashaal, the move for a lull agreement was initiated by a desire to solve the problems of the Gaza Strip. If the problems were solved, he claimed, conditions would be ripe for an agreement. He claimed the talks held so far with Tony Blair were positive, but they had not yet reached fruition and the ball was currently in Israel's court. A long- or short-term lull in the fighting, he claimed, was not what Hamas wanted, it wanted was to establish a ceasefire that Hamas would preserve as long as Israel preserved it. - Judea and Samaria are not included in any lull agreement: An agreement, Khaled Mashaal claimed, was only for the Gaza Strip. There was no agreement for the West Bank, which was "occupied." Therefore, he claimed, there was every reason to operate in the West Bank. Even if there were a ceasefire with the Gaza Strip, the "resistance" [i.e., terrorist attacks] would not stop until the occupation and the settlement project ended. - Exchange of prisoners: Mashaal said Hamas absolutely refused to make any connection between solving the problems of the Gaza Strip and the issue of the exchange of prisoners. - Hamas' foreign relations: The Turks told Hamas they were conditioning the resolution of the Mavi Marmara crisis on Israel's lifting the siege of the Gaza Strip, but so far everything was still under discussion. Qatar was the first country to deliver building materials to the Gaza Strip and begin its reconstruction. Ties with Saudi Arabia were strong but there were ups and downs. After his visit to Saudi Arabia it was decided to turn over a new leaf in their relations. The Palestinians had a special relation with Egypt but during the past two years Egypt had unjustly accused Hamas of interfering in Egypt's internal affairs. Recently there had been a certain improvement in their relations. Hamas had a "historical connection" with Iran, which was still strong, but their differences of opinion regarding the crisis in Syria had had an effect on relations. Ten Members of the PLO's Executive Committee Resign - On August 22,2015, the PLO's Executive Committee held a meeting in Ramallah, electing Saeb Erekat as Committee secretary. At the meeting Mahmoud Abbas and ten other members of Committee tendered their resignations. According to the announcement, it was a procedural move to force the Palestinian National Council (PNC) to meet within 30 days, as demanded by the PLO constitution, in order to appoint a new leadership. It was also announced that all those who had resigned would remain at their posts until the PNC met in September 2015 (Wafa News Agency, August 22, 2015). Apparently the move was intended to reinforce Mahmoud Abbas' political position and distance his opponents from the PLO and Fatah leadership.

[Right: Mahmoud Abbas at a meeting of the PLO's Executive Committee (Wafa News Agency, August 22, 2015). Man from Jenin Killed Fighting in Syria in the Ranks of ISIS - The Palestinian media reported the death of Sayeed Muhammad Yahya, from Jenin, who went to Syria to fight in the ranks of ISIS. He was killed on August 17, 2015, in Jareb (near Aleppo), during an aerial attack on ISIS strongholds. Sayeed Muhammad Yahya left seven months ago when he finished studying for a BA, claiming he was going to work in Sweden. He went to Turkey intending to enter Syria and join the ranks of ISIS. Palestinian sources reported that he contacted his family through his Facebook page to tell them he had joined ISIS (Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda and Kuwait Press, August 19 and 20, 2015). - nFacebook followers left mixed responses to Yahya's death in Syria on the local Jenin Facebook page. Some of them praised his action, while others asked why he had gone to fight in the ranks of ISIS when Jerusalem was much closer than Syria (Facebook page of Jenin al-Hadath, August 19, 2015). The Qods Force is an elite unit of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards and spearheads Iranian subversion and terrorism in the Middle East and around the globe. As of August 25, 2015. The statistics do not include mortar shell fire or rockets which misfired and fell inside the Gaza Strip. The statistics do not include mortar shell fire or rockets which misfired and fell inside the Gaza Strip. According to a report from CityPass, which holds the franchise for the light railway, during the first half of 2015 Palestinians threw tocks at the trains more than 80 times, especially as it passed through Shuafat and the Beit Hanina in east Jerusalem. In 46 cases windows had to be replaced (Ynet, August 20, 2015). The statistics do not include scores of stone-throwing attacks.

On 24, Jan 2016 | In | By superchannel MVM Edison LightUp! The goal of the campaign: Throughout the history of technological innovations, Hungarian people were all the time in the forefront – and innovation itself is also in the forefront of Hungary’s future. This is why MVM with the professional support of IBM started a programe. Its aim is to create a heavily R+D+I based ecosystem, which would be able to incubate new ideas in connection with energy and energy consciousness, software and hardware developments, as well as suistanable design. As the first step of the program we launched a competiton to focus on people with new ideas, but we would also target wider audience: the complete innovation potential of the country. ”Step into the light!“ The core of the creative concept is that most of the times groundbreaking innovative ideas are just dreams which are kept alone in the darkness – they need support: light and inspiration to have visible contours. The MVM Edison Light up! program wants to help with the first steps of the future innovators to motivate them: See? It is possible! Others are already here! – To summarize, that is why we started the film with this sentence: “An idea is like a light in the darkness” and finished with showing the successful community of innovators. In the surrealistic, nude background of the light-choreography, all of them have real stories. The target audience consists of start-ups, spin-offs, SME-s, collage and university students or just people in general having an innovative idea. They represent the idea, the energy and the future for us. This is why – instead of shooting a regular image spot – we wanted to make a creative, which is tailored for them: crosses boundaries with its unusual solutions and visuals. We believe everybody finds something new and memorable in the spot – even after watching it a few times Nominated by Orsolya Strasser: ‘MVM Edison LightUp! Is a video dreamed up by Young&Trinity, and created for the occasion of the tender issued for innovative talent. The agency turned to a simple but great idea, since it played with the contrast of darkness and light, and all this in a very effective and dramatic way. The video perfectly communicates the theme of the tender, about ideas that light up the darkness, and the professionally designed light choreography reflects the stretching of the limits in a fascinating way.‘ *Participants of the project can be seen on the Hungarian website.

Films such as Blood Feast (1963), Love Camp 7 (1968), A Bay Of Blood (1971) and The Last House On The Left (1972) were either never formally submitted to the British censor or refused a certificate and, until the arrival of video, remained unseen in a country that considered Hammer Films the ne plus ultra of gore. The novelty of video meant that distributors were not legally obliged to submit their material for classification, so for the first time British viewers were able to watch movies about cannibals, sadistic Nazis and psychotic killers armed with power tools. The cover art for these videos would’ve done an American exploitation outfit proud: from Cannibal Holocaust’s gut-munching native to S.S. Experiment Camp’s crucifixion of a naked starlet, nothing was left to the imagination. It wasn’t long before Mary Whitehouse of the National Viewers and Listeners Association (NVALA or “National Valour”), which had previously rallied against such TV shows as Benny Hill and Dr Who, campaigned to ban these “Video Nasties.” Mrs Whitehouse had an ally in Conservative MP Graham Bright, who sponsored a Bill that amended the 1959 Obscene Publications Act to include movies. Working from a list of 72 offending titles drawn up by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), police seized any material they believed would “deprave and corrupt” viewers, often citing the covers as reasonable grounds for confiscation. Movies marked with an asterisk (*) were successfully prosecuted for obscenity in the British courts. 72. Frozen Scream (1975) An overlooked contender for The Worst Movie Of All Time, Frozen Scream was banned for two months in 1984 before the authorities came to their senses. Loaded with mind-blowingly dreadful performances, cinematography and direction, the movie’s slender 85 minute running time feels like twice as long. The performers recite their lines like pod people, which is odd when you realize that lead actress Renee Harmon taught acting in Los Angeles. Briefly, the plot – to save you from watching it – involves a pair of mad scientists seeking the key to eternal life. They go about this the way “scientists” in bad movies usually do, by killing strangers and keeping the bodies in cold storage until they can be resurrected as zombie slaves. Too listless to be funny, Frozen Scream makes Manos: The Hands Of Fate look like a shoo-in for Best Picture. Unavailable in the UK for years, the movie recently appeared on DVD, so if masochism is your thing, help yourself. 71. I Miss You, Hugs And Kisses (1978) Based on a real-life murder case, this courtroom drama tells in flashback the events leading up to the murder of a manipulative model, played by Elke Sommer. What unfolds is basically an episode of Murder She Wrote spiced up with stabbings, genuine slaughterhouse footage and a head being bashed in, and it’s a very bland viewer who’ll be offended by any of it. The only possible explanation for why the picture was banned alongside zombie films and cannibal movies is the cover of the Intercity Video box, which showed Elke Sommer wearing a wet t-shirt and carrying a pistol. Along with the title, that must’ve caused overzealous police officers to mistake it for a “blue movie.” 70. Human Experiments (1981) Human Experiments features no graphic violence, no explicit gore and no exploitation, which is surprising because the producers are Summer and Edwin Brown, the husband and wife team responsible for XXX titles like Every Woman Has A Fantasy (1984). They were also behind slasher movie The Prey (1984), which if nothing else boasts a great tag line: “It’s Not Human And It’s Got An Axe!” Geoffrey Lewis stars as a mad scientist who attempts to curb the behaviour of his inmates with “experiments” that are more like a series of practical jokes, and very mild they are too. Except for some brief nudity and a trickle of blood, the film could play on daytime TV. However, the title convinced the authorities that the content was similar to S.S. Experiment Camp and the movie was banned. It hasn’t been available in the UK since. 69. Mardi Gras Massacre (1978)* You’d expect a remake/rip-off of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ Blood Feast (1963) to be horribly acted, ineptly directed and loaded with fake gore, and Mardi Gras Massacre doesn’t disappoint. For good measure, director Jack Weis also throws in funky disco music, exotic dancers and dialogue that lands with a thud every few minutes. There’s an Aztec high priest instead of Fuad Ramses and the action is relocated to New Orleans, but otherwise the film plays out as you’d expect. There’s more nudity and gore in this version, as becomes apparent during the scenes where our monosyllabic murderer picks up a hooker he proceeds to tie up, cover in oil and slash to ribbons. The fact that his pad resembles a Satanic temple really should have tipped her off. Released to video in 1982, the movie was successfully prosecuted a year later and has yet to see an official release in the UK. Beg, borrow or steal a copy of the region 1 DVD, but under no circumstances should you buy one. 68. Forest Of Fear (1980)* Also known as Blood Eaters and Toxic Zombies, this miserably acted time-waster plays like a less accomplished version of I Drink Your Blood. There’s another group of hippies on the rampage, but this time they’re turned into bloodthirsty savages when their marijuana crop is sprayed with an experimental herbicide by crooked government officials. Limbs are chopped off, eyes are gouged and throats are torn out, but the low budget means that the effects leave much to be desired. Incredibly for a movie with such fake gore, Forest Of Fear found its way onto the banned list shortly after debuting on video in November 1982 and was subsequently prosecuted for obscenity. The film was never resubmitted to the BBFC because director Charles McCrann, who held the rights, died in the World Trade Center attack on 9/11. 67. Unhinged (1982) Tediously generic, badly acted and poorly made (the clapperboard is visible during a slow fade), Unhinged’s presence on the banned list is something of a mystery. What violence there is isn’t enough to generate controversy, and if the film hadn’t been singled out as a video nasty it would’ve disappeared into obscurity (or at least appeared on MST3K). The plot involves three young women that’re taken to an old house following an automobile accident, but the performances are so broad (and the direction so hamfisted) that it’s impossible to get caught up in their plight as they’re stalked by a scythe-wielding figure. Even at 79 minutes it’s a long haul, and the “twist” ending isn’t worth sticking around for. Incredibly, the film wasn’t released uncut in the UK until 2005. 66. Blood Rites (1968)* Also known as The Ghastly Ones, Blood Rites is a typical effort from New York filmmaker Andy Milligan: though set in Edwardian times, the characters have modern hairstyles, and all of the sleaze is so badly filmed as to be off-putting. Even though the set-up (several couples who agree to spend three days in “sexual harmony” end up being murdered) allows for nudity and gore, the footage is usually out of focus and Milligan’s habit of swirling the camera during the murder sequences detracts from their effectiveness. Throw in endless talk, chintzy library music and bad period costumes (designed by the filmmaker) and you’ve got the most painful way of spending a rainy afternoon possible. “When Andy’s movies are bad,” says Jimmy McDonough, “there’s nothing – nothing – worse.” Bear in mind, that’s the director’s biographer speaking. 65. Snuff (1976)* Credited as the picture that helped mythologize the snuff film, Snuff began life as Slaughter (not to be confused with the Blaxploitation movie starring Jim Brown), a 1971gore film that depicted the depredations of a Manson-like cult. Filmed on the cheap in Argentina, it was the first horror picture from Michael and Roberta Findlay, the husband and wife team that had hitherto made primitive sexploitation movies. After playing in only three theaters, Slaughter would’ve fallen into well-deserved obscurity but for a producer named Allan Shackleton who, sensing an opportunity, changed the title and added a brief epilogue. In Shackleton’s footage, a young actress (she’s supposed to be the female lead in Slaughter, but looks nothing like her) is murdered while the camera keeps rolling, but the sequence is so badly handled that it has an unintended comic effect. Bad acting aside, the gore is so obviously fake that it ruins the intended shock when the screen goes black and the cameraman is heard announcing that they’ve run out of film. Still, it was enough to fan the flames and before long, the existence of snuff films became an acknowledged “fact”.

This year, native Texans and Texpats alike can celebrate Memorial Day with a refresher on Texas history by way of “Texas Rising,” a miniseries premiering that day on The History Channel. The epic trailer for “Texas Rising” was recently released, and, as you might expect, it’s a two-minute clip packed full of gruesome imagery, galloping horses, and plenty of non-Texan actors wearing cowboy hats and slinging pistols. The miniseries dramatizes some of Texas’s grisliest and most triumphant moments, from the Battle of the Alamo and the mysterious legend of the Yellow Rose of Texas, to Sam Houston becoming the first president of the Republic of Texas and the formation of the Texas Rangers. Surely some extra drama will slip in. The San Antonio Express News hints that there will be an unlikely love triangle between Sam Houston, Santa Anna, and Emily West — the fabled Yellow Rose — but what’s a good made-for-TV miniseries without a little embellishment? It is disappointing, though, that a series all about the rise of Texas couldn’t involve more native talent — the only two Texans in the central cast are Bill Paxton, who plays Sam Houston, and Kris Kristofferson, who appears as Andrew Jackson. Talk about a missed opportunity. Who wouldn’t tune in to see Matthew McConaughey grow out his beard to play the legendary Colonel John Coffee Hays, or Ethan Hawke play “Deaf” Smith, an even more Texas role than the one he played in “Boyhood”? But, alas, non-Texans will always want to play Texans. The same was true of the 1989 “Lonesome Dove” hit miniseries based on Larry McMurtry’s novel of the same name, which cast Tommy Lee Jones as the only Lone Star lead. When it comes to re-living Texas history, we’ll let some non-native actors live vicariously through the rough-and-tumble antics and bravery of some of the state’s most legendary leaders, soldiers, and cowboys.

Goodluck Jonathan has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is hurting his family. This was made in a yet-to-be released book, “Against The Run of Play”, written by the Chairman of ThisDay Editorial Board, Olusegun Adeniyi. He said “I feel sad about the way my family is being hounded. “Society is like a building. You build it one block at a time. If every president decides to go in to dismantle what his predecessor did, society will never make progress. I expected President Buhari to correct whatever mistakes I may have made and then carry on from there. “But a situation in which people go into exile for political reasons is not good for us. According to thecable online,Jonathan said “His style of fighting corruption is different from mine and since most Nigerians apparently prefer his style, it is okay. There are steps you take that will help in retrieving ill-gotten wealth and punish offenders while restoring confidence in the system. But there are also things you can do to damage the system,” he said. Jonathan also stated that some security officials and the former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Adamu Mu’azu, sabotaged his chances of winning the 2015 elections. “I felt really betrayed by the result coming from some northern states. Perhaps for ethnic purposes, even security agents colluded with the opposition to come up with spurious results against me. You saw the way the Inspector General of Police, a man I appointed, suddenly turned himself into the ADC to Buhari immediately after the election. “How could we have lost Ondo, Benue and Plateau states if our people were committed to the cause? If you examine the results, you will see a pattern: in places where ordinarily we were strong, our supporters did not show enough commitment to mobilise the voters. “What happened was very sad not for me as a person, but for our democracy.” “Take, for instance, the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu. I believe he joined in the conspiracy against me. “For reasons best known to him, he helped to sabotage the election in favour of the opposition,”

Old crop (July) soybeans hit an eight month high after appreciating just better than $2/bushel, high to low, over the last four weeks. And volatility has not been lacking, with an average 44 cent daily trading range over the last several sessions. It appears the bulls are starting to lose control. Long upper wicks, on several recent candles, show that we haven’t been able to hold onto intraday gains. A 61.8% Fibonacci retracement has taken place to the upside, but futures are stalling just above the psychological $15/bushel level. Also, stochastics are starting to roll over, confirming my hunch that legumes may be ready for a break lower. While I am not calling for a bear market… I think we could see futures retreat 40-60 cents. Use the 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci levels as downside targets. Beyond the technical… let’s see what factors could weigh heavy on bean prices in the coming weeks. A number of fundamental factors are potentially bearish for soybeans: - Potential profit taking after a 12% appreciation. - Improving weather conditions in key growing areas. Previously, a weather premium was likely built into the market on reports of poor weather. Favorable weather means this should be worked off prices. - China was rumored to have canceled some of its recent purchases. - A well-followed, private oilseed analyst expects Brazilian soybean exports to be very large. Estimates are coming in at 8.7 to 9 million tonnes (Jan – May), up from 7.3 million last year. If shipments are soon confirmed at these levels this would represent a significant jump in export pace, being up better than 10% over the same period last year. As for trade recommendations, I like buying outright put options or ratios spreads in July, August or September contracts. More aggressive traders could gain bearish exposure via short futures, simultaneously selling put options 1:1. You should be better off selling further dated puts as you will collect more time value. Try collecting, in premium, an amount equal to what you’re willing to risk… be it 15-cents, 20-cents or 40-cents. As always, I’m here to discuss specifics and give guidance. Give me a call… To discuss in more detail this chart or any other you can reach me at: firstname.lastname@example.org or 954-929-9997

With the markets of Marrakech on the doorstep and links to outdoor adventure across Morocco, the Es Saadi Marrakech Resort is feeding travellers – mind, body and soul. Marrakech only continues to rise in popularity, and its connections to Europe, especially London, make it only a short flight away. But amid the hustle and bustle of the markets and the robust riad competition, the best advice one can take is carving out a small piece of paradise that will keep you refreshed and vitalised as you wander back and forth between the sunbeams of the city. That place, for us, is the Es Saadi Marrakech Resort. Whether you choose its five-star hotel, a villa or a beautiful suite in the Palace, you’ll have to tear yourself away from your room to indulge your senses elsewhere… For the mind The first essential almost year-round under the Saharan sun? Pools. Indoor and out. Here, there is an oasis-like 2,400 sqm of inviting waters for guests to float, swim, dip and splash within; or to simply relax beside and watch the reflecting sun pass over the clear skies. Sit beneath the palm trees, and while away the day with a drink in hand. But for the ultimate in relaxation, head inside to the indoor spa pool for the revitalising water at the heart of the resort. Equipped with hydrotherapy encompassing jets and whirlpools, the calm waters offer a perfect spot for quiet contemplation, and there is an ideal vantage point for keen-eyed Instagrammers too. If the plan is to take care of your wellbeing, then embrace the next step and indulge in one of the spa’s many options, whether a traditional hammam massage or a signature treatment. Whatever you feel needs attention, there is a bespoke choice for it. But if you want to get a bit more active, the fitness room offers blissful yoga or something a little more robust, like Zumba. The choice is yours. For the body If you wish to experience bliss through a different sense, then you can tingle your taste buds with the gastronomic delights of the Palace’s three main restaurants: the sophisticated La Cour des Lions atop the palace with pool views; Othello, an ode to venetian cuisine; or The Lagon & Jardin, offering healthy, organic options that come sin-free, but devilishly delicious. When in Rome, or rather Marrakech, the local dishes will carry the much-needed authenticity to spoil any patron. This heirloom tradition of Morrocan meals would not be complete without a range of daring tagines and a plethora of exotic desserts. And if you are in any way uncertain, a helpful chef or maitre d’ will gladly guide you through your options. For the soul But what would relaxation be without a little adrenaline to counterbalance it? The Palace’s casino offers the chance to throw a few dice, spin the wheel or simply flip a few coins in slots; after all, someone has to win, right? And where better to celebrate any winnings than in the Theatro nightclub? Full of stunning shows and the place to be for a trendy night out, you are sure of a warm welcome. Though you may be looking for a home from home, or a touch of glamour, Es Saadi can also serve as an excellent activites base. Golf enthusiasts can find well-regarded courses not too far away and skiing is a surprisingly popular past time. And let’s not forget that within a day’s drive you could be deep into the Sahara desert, by the beaches of Essaouira or seeing cloven-hoofed goats climb Argania spinosa. Junior suites at Es Saadi Marrakech Resort (Palace) start from £270 per night and villas £800. Buffet breakfast, Wi-Fi and Airport transfers included.

Jeffrey Barrington in Texas says “Everything I keep on me when I’m off work. When I’m at work the only that Changes is I carry a Glock 17 in a safariland holster with a owb spare mag carrier same flashlight and I carry a Gerber swagger.” We see a lot of GLOCKs in pocket dumps which is understandable considering their reliability and affordability. Same goes for 9mm (the compensator is a bit more unique on a carry gun). So here’s my question: with so many of you carrying on a daily basis, how many of you train for self-defense? Do you take courses specifically geared to concealed carry and honing things like your draw stroke or do you not take classes at all? Are you putting yourself to work training or are you assuming you’ll discover a serving of skill with a side of luck should the need arise? Training. Do you do it?

- Open Access Establishment of a minor groove binder-probe based quantitative real time PCR to detect Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and differentiation of Borrelia spielmanii by osp A-specific conventional PCR Parasites & Vectors volume 3, Article number: 69 (2010) Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl), the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis, is transmitted by ticks of the genus Ixodes as vector. For identification of Borrelia infections in ticks a TaqMan™ minor groove binder (MGB) probe-based quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) was established targeting the 5S-23S intergenic spacer. Extension to a duplex qPCR included an Ixodes spp. positive control to verify successful DNA isolation. Besides qPCR, an osp A-specific conventional PCR for species-specific identification of B. spielmanii was established. Afterwards 1000 I. ricinus flagged in the city of Hanover, Germany, were investigated for B. burgdorferi sl infections followed by species identification. Furthermore, I. hexagonus ticks were investigated to proof applicability of the PCRs. Quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) identifying B. burgdorferi sl in ticks was able to detect 1-10 copies per reaction. B. spielmanii osp A-specific conventional PCR was also highly specific and showed no cross reactions with the other tested Borrelia species. From 1000 hanoveranian ticks 24.3% were positive compared to only 7.4% positives by dark-field microscopy. Related to tick stage 1.7% larvae, 18.1% nymphs, and 34.6% adults were positive. The most frequent species was B. garinii, followed by B. afzelii, B. spielmanii, B. valaisiana and B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss). 70.6% of I. ricinus were mono-infected, whereas 28.0% and 1.4% were infected with two and three Borrelia species, respectively. From 232 I. hexagonus collected from hedgehogs in different sites of Germany, qPCR detected 5.7% to be infected with B. burgdorferi sl, which were identified as B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. spielmanii. The evaluated qPCR to detect B. burgdorferi sl in Ixodes spp. is highly specific and sensitive. As a duplex qPCR including detection of Ixodes spp. DNA it is the first DNA based technique incorporating a control for successful DNA isolation from the vector tick. Establishment of a B. spielmanii specific conventional PCR filled the gap in PCR identification of principal European Borrelia genospecies. Practical application showed that all European pathogenic Borrelia spp. were present in I. ricinus flagged in recreational areas of the city of Hanover and confirmed I. hexagonus as reservoir for pathogenic Borrelia spp. Ticks of the genus Ixodes are transmission vectors for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (sl), the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis (LB). In Central Europe, the sheep or forest tick I. ricinus is the main vector for B. burgdorferi sl with a distribution area between the 66th and 39th degree of latitude and from Portugal to Russia . Besides this classical vector, the hedgehog tick I. hexoganus, the fox tick I. canisuga, and the sea bird tick I. uriae contribute to the circulation of B. burgdorferi sl in Europe [2–4]. The B. burgdorferi sl-complex comprises worldwide today at least 15 spirochete species, namely B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss), Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia andersonii, Borrelia bissettii, Borrelia californiensis, Borrelia garinii, Borrelia japonica, Borrelia lusitaniae, Borrelia sinica, Borrelia spielmanii, Borrelia tanukii, Borrelia turdi, Borrelia valaisiana as well as the recently described Borrelia carolinensis and Borrelia americana. Furthermore, B. bavariensis sp. nov. formerly included in the B. garinii species (OspA serotype 4) and B. yangtze sp. nov. were proposed as new species. From these, B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. bissettii, B. garinii, B. lusitaniae, B. spielmanii, B. valaisiana and B. bavariensis sp. nov. are recognized in Central Europe. While B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii, and B. spielmanii are confirmed as causative organisms of Lyme disease, the pathogenic potential of the remaining species is still unclear. However, the presence of B. bissettii, B. lusitaniae, and B. valaisiana in human patients [9–13] provides evidence that these species might also cause LB. While B. burgdorferi ss is the most common species in the United States, in Germany the pathogens B. garinii and B. afzelii are more frequent than B. burgdorferi ss [14–17]. In Europe, the overall mean prevalence of Borrelia spirochetes in ticks is 13.7% with the highest I. ricinus infection rates in Central Europe and a significant increase in the infection rate of adult ticks from Western to Eastern Europe . In Germany, approximately 1% of larvae, 4 to 18% of nymphs and 10 to 35% of adult ticks are infected with B. burgdorferi sl (reviewed in ). Thereby prevalence variations not only depend on the region, but also on the examination methods known to exhibit unequal sensitivity and specificity values. In both cases, PCR techniques are certainly superior to other techniques used to detect B. burgdorferi sl. Here we present the establishment of a highly sensitive and specific quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) based on TaqMan™ minor groove binder (MGB)-probes to detect Borrelia burgdorferi sl in ticks. The inference on individual Borrelia burden was assured by targeting a single copy region, the 5S-23S intergenic spacer . A further aim was to establish a species-specific conventional PCR to discriminate B. spielmanii from other European genospecies. When applying the established PCR methods in a study on ticks flagged in the city of Hanover we found that all assured human pathogenic Borrelia species distributed in Europe were present in the collected hanoveranian ticks. Borrelia burgdorferi sl genus-specific quantitative real time PCR Genomic DNA amplification of the 5S-23S intergenic spacer region with the genus-specific primer/TaqMan™-MGB-probe combination resulted for each tested Borrelia species (B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. valaisiana and B. spielmanii) in bands of 67 bp which were verified by sequencing. When testing specificity, no amplification products were observed by using DNA of related spirochetes or laboratory bred I. ricinus larvae. Regarding sensitivity, qPCR detected between 1 to10 IGS copies in the individual runs when using serial plasmid standard dilutions as template. This detection limit was also reached for the B. spielmanii- and B. lusitaniae-IGS plasmid standard showing one mismatch with the reverse primer. Since the DNA elution volume from homogenised ticks is 100 μl and 2 μl of them are used as template in qPCR, this correlates with a burden of ≥50-500 Borrelia individuals per tick. In this context spiking experiments revealed no negative impact of tick material on qPCR detection. Duplex quantitative real time PCR targeting ITS2 of Ixodes spp. as positive control By testing the designed primer/TaqMan™-MGB-probe combination targeting the ITS2 sequence of Ixodes spp. all isolated tick DNAs (280 I. ricinus, 8 I. hexagonus, and 8 I. canisuga) resulted in positive qPCR signals. Based on serially diluted plasmid standards, the qPCR was able to detect 1 ITS2-copy. By using the ABsolute™ Blue QPCR low Rox Mix in the duplex qPCR reaction setup there was no obvious effect on B. burgdorferi sl detection whereas this detection failed when the Brilliant® QPCR Master Mix was used. Partial ITS2 sequencing of eight I. ricinus individuals showed 100% sequence identity with the primer-probe combination. For one I. hexagonus (accession no. GQ330526), a substitution (C→T) was identified within the probe sequence. Of I. canisuga, all individuals possessed a substitution (C→T) within the probe sequence, and one individual (accession no. GQ330529) had a second substitution (T→C). In the reverse primer sequence, an insertion (A) was observed in three individuals (accession nos. GQ330528, GQ330529, and GQ330534). Additionally, one of them showed a substitution (C→T, accession no. GQ330529). The sequence of the forward primer could not be considered since this primer was used to generate the partial I. canisuga ITS2 sequences. Evaluation of the species-specific conventional PCR Specificity examination of the newly designed B. spielmanii specific osp A primers as well as the published rpo B primers for B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii, and B. valaisiana using DNA of the different Borrelia spp. as well as from related spirochetes (Treponema sp. and Leptospira spp.) resulted in bands with the corresponding Borrelia spp. DNA only, no cross reactions were observed. B. spielmanii osp A amplification resulted in a PCR product measuring 151 bp in length and was confirmed by sequencing. Sequence alignment revealed an osp A forward primer identity of 82% and 69% with B. bissettii and B. lusitaniae, respectively. From the last 7 bases on the primer's 3' end at most 3 bases were identical, but not the very last one. Concerning the reverse osp A primer sequence identities were 85% and 76% with the above mentioned Borrelia spp. From the last 7 bases on the primer's 3' end at most 4 bases were identical, but not the last two ones. Further B. spielmanii osp A-specific primer evaluation proved negative PCR results when using DNA of 100 laboratory bred Ixodes larvae as template. No inhibitory effect was noticed by amplification of B. spielmanii DNA in presence of DNA of the other Borrelia species. Analysis of Borrelia infections and species distribution in ticks of the city of Hanover Morphological determination revealed that the 1000 ticks collected in recreation areas of the city of Hanover were all belonging to the species I. ricinus. Stage distribution was as follows: 60 larvae, 507 nymphs, and 433 adults (229 males and 204 females). Of these, 74 were spirochete positive in dark-field microscopy (DFM), but only 54 of them were confirmed by genus-specific quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). In all, 243 ticks gave a positive qPCR signal whereas in 8 ticks the results were questionable. Table 1 shows the DFM and qPCR results in more detail. With the qPCR positive and questionable ticks species-specific conventional PCR runs were performed. In 212 out of the 243 qPCR positive ticks and in 6 out of the 8 questionable ticks the B. burgdorferi sl species differentiation was successful. From the 218 Borrelia species differentiated ticks, 154 ticks (70.6%) were mono-infected, 61 (28.0%) were infected with two and 3 (1.4%) were infected with three species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sl-complex. Results considering the stage distribution of the I. ricinus ticks are listed in Table 2. The most frequent mono-infection was with B. afzelii closely followed by B. garinii whereas B. burgdorferi ss caused the least common mono-infection. Frequent double-infections were the combinations B. garinii/B. spielmanii, B. garinii/B. valaisiana, B. afzelii/B. garinii and B. afzelii/B. spielmanii. The combinations B. afzelii/B. burgdorferi ss/B. spielmanii and B. garinii/B. spielmanii/B. valaisiana were found in triple infections. Detailed species distribution results and combinations are shown in Table 3. Analysis of Borrelia infections in ticks collected from hedgehogs The 238 ticks collected from hedgehogs were represented by 92 nymphs and 146 adult females. All were morphologically identified as I. hexagonus. Genus-specific qPCR was successfully performed with 232 individuals of which 12 (5.7%) were positive for B. burgdorferi sl. These 12 positive ticks were composed of 2 nymphs and 10 adult females resulting in 2.17% positive nymphs and 6.85% positive adult females. With species-specific conventional PCR in 4 ticks the Borrelia species could be determined. Two ticks were infected with B. afzelii, one with B. spielmanii, and one was double infected with B. afzelii and B. garinii. Spirochetes of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex can be detected by dark-field and phase-contrast microscopy, Giemsa-stained smears, direct and indirect immunofluorescence, cultivation, and PCR methods. Detection of Borrelia infections in ticks is commonly done by dark-field microscopy (DFM) or PCR methods. However, DFM is less specific than PCR because all spirochete bacteria are diagnosed as positive, not exclusively Borrelia spp. Concerning sensitivity PCR is superior to DFM since successful DNA analysis does not require living organisms whereas DFM and also cultivation are dependent on living bacteria. But sensitivity is also varying among different PCR methods of which quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) is superior to conventional PCR. The established genus-specific B. burgdorferi sl-qPCR is based on probes enhancing specificity through a third oligonucleotide that has to match the target sequence. The designed TaqMan™ minor groove binder (MGB)-probe has an advantage over a conventional TaqMan™ probe regarding mismatch discrimination and the use of a non-fluorescent quencher (NFQ) results in more precise fluorescence signal detection compared to dye quenchers. In conclusion, qPCR utilizing TaqMan™ MGB-probe is the most sensitive and specific detection system. The chosen target sequence, the 5S-23S intergenic spacer (IGS), represents a single copy region within the B. burgdorferi sl genome . Thus, a reliable quantification of the Borrelia burden per tick or the like is given. Consistent with the sensitivity of a LightCycler hybridization probe based qPCR targeting the osp A gene of B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, and B. garinii described by Rauter et al. , the detection limit of the established qPCR targeting all European genospecies was 1-10 copies. This corresponds to a detection limit of ≥50-500 Borrelia spirochetes per tick taken the volumes of eluted genomic DNA and template into account. To exclude that negative qPCR results follow from failed DNA isolations, a duplex qPCR was established targeting the Ixodes ITS2 sequence alongside the B. burgdorferi sl IGS sequence. The designed primer/probe combination detected the considered vector species I. ricinus, I. hexagonus and I. canisuga, which feed on humans and domestic mammals besides their wild-living hosts. However, I. hexagonus and I. canisuga are found less frequently parasitizing non wildlife species due to their nest adapted life cycle . Noteworthy, duplex qPCR Borrelia detection was successful using the Thermo Fisher ABsolute™ Blue QPCR low Rox Mix but failed with the Stratagene Brilliant® QPCR Master Mix. From 1000 I. ricinus collected in recreation areas of the city of Hanover (Lower Saxony, Northern Germany) 24.3% were positive for B. burgdorferi sl considering all developmental tick stages. Similar infection rates (22%) were found in Southern Germany , whereas in Central Germany (Thuringia) only 11.1% were positive . Interestingly, both authors observed with 9.0 and 8.6% almost identical Borrelia infections in nymphs. In contrast, in the present study the number of infected nymphs was with 18.1% nearly doubled. Also a higher percentage of adults were positive in the present study (34.6%) than in Central Germany (21.0%) and Southern Germany (29.7%). With respect to larvae, the number of positives is comparable to these of Southern Germany (1.7% and 1.5%; no data for Central Germany). Infections in larvae can either result from transovarial transmission [25, 26], or, since this transmission is rather inefficient, from a blood meal that was interrupted and thus too short for nymph development. In contrast to 24.3% positives in qPCR, DFM revealed only 7.4% positive ticks depicting the lower sensitivity of this method due to dependency on living spirochetes. This necessity of living bacteria and thus ticks for examination restricts also operational capacity, which is another disadvantage of the DFM technique. Furthermore, as mentioned above, DFM has a low specificity by reason that it is not possible to differentiate between Borrelia spp. and other spirochetes. This became apparent in 20 ticks that were spirochete positive in DFM but negative in genus-specific B. burgdorferi sl qPCR. The most prevalent genospecies in the present study was B. garinii closely followed by B. afzelii. This is consistent with the findings of Hildebrandt et al. and Fingerle et al. whereas Rauter et al. and Maetzel et al. found B. afzelii more frequent than B. garinii. Interestingly, B. burgdorferi ss, the main causative genospecies of LB in the United States, was the third most common genospecies in Southern and Central Germany [14, 17] but the least frequent in the presented study site in Northern Germany. These prevalence results could potentially be influenced by cross reactions with B. bavariensis sp. nov. since this species was not included in species-specific rpo B PCR specificity tests by Lee et al. . For B. lusitaniae and B. bissettii as further species of the B. burgdorferi sl complex occurring in Central Europe the authors excluded cross reactions by amplification experiments. The present study revealed that the same is true for B. spielmanii. Regarding the B. spielmanii osp A specific primer pair, the present study negated cross reactions with B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana by PCR experiments. Also for B. bissettii and B. lusitaniae osp A primer sequence comparison gave strong indication that cross reactions can not occur whereas for B. bavariensis sp. nov. no sequence data where available. Consequently, amplification of this Borrelia species by B. spielmanii osp A primers could potentially occur. In 33 out of the 251 positive/questionable ticks the Borrelia species could not be determined. One explanation is that the target sequence copy number was to low to produce visible bands in gel electrophoresis. Furthermore, B. lusitaniae, B. bissettii and B. bavariensis sp. nov. were not included in conventional species-specific PCR and thus could be considered as not determined species. However, B. lusitaniae is perpetuated by lizards and thus distributed mainly in Mediterranean countries . In Germany, Fingerle et al. found only 1 from 475 positive ticks collected at different study sites in Southern Germany to be infected with B. lusitaniae. The authors also identified B. bissettii in a human cerebrospinal fluid from Germany. Otherwise, this species is mainly reported in human patients from Slovenia and Czech Republic [12, 13]. In Czech Republic, 0.5% ticks were found to be infected with B. bissettii and 0.8% with B. lusitaniae. The recently proposed new species B. bavariensis sp. nov. was so far described by Margos et al. in human samples from Bavaria (Germany), Villach (Austria), and Slovenia as well as by Gern et al. in xenodiagnostic ticks fed on 2 Apodemus sylvaticus mice from the Staatswald in Switzerland . Thus, a small proportion of the unidentified tick infections may be due to B. bissettii, B. lusitaniae or and B. bavariensis sp. nov., but in most of them PCR failed most likely due to insufficient template amounts. Infections with more than one genospecies were observed in nearly one third of the positive ticks. Because adult ticks had one more blood meal than nymphs, it is not surprising that the number of multiple infected adults (32.1%) is doubled compared to nymphs (15.6%). The combination B. afzelii and B. spielmanii as well as B. garinii and B. valaisiana made the most common double infections. For the latter ones birds are competent reservoirs [32, 33]. Thus, bird-feeding ticks often are infected with both species. Kipp et al. found that the blackbird and the song trush play an important role in the cycle of these two genospecies and at least blackbirds are very frequent in recreational or human inhabited areas. The combination B. garinii/B. valaisiana was also identified by Maetzel et al. as the most common tick double infections. Interestingly, B. spielmanii was observed two times more in multiple infections (30 infected ticks, 12% of all infected ticks) than as single infection (15 infected ticks, 6% of all infected ticks). Besides I ricinus, I. hexagonus ticks collected from hedgehogs were examined for Borrelia infection resulting in 5.7% positives. Identified Borrelia species were B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. spielmanii. Former studies revealed 2.6 and 2.7% positive I. hexagonus using DFM and direct immunofluorescence, respectively [2, 34]. In a conventional PCR based study, 11.5% of I. hexagonus collected from hedgehogs were infected with B. burgdorferi sl . Nest adaptation of I. hexagonus suggests that the ticks in the present study were infected by hedgehogs, for which reservoir competency for the B. burgdorferi sl-complex was shown [25, 36]. With the TaqMan™ MGB-probe based qPCR a sensitive, specific, and rapid tool to detect spirochetes of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex was established. Enhancement to a duplex qPCR also targeting the 16S region of tested common ixodid ticks provides a positive control of successful isolation of DNA from the ticks besides the diagnostic purpose, assuring proper results not only for epidemiological studies but also for statements of diagnostic laboratories processing transmitted ticks from private parties. The designed B. spielmanii specific conventional PCR filled the gap to identify the most common European pathogenic Borrelia species by DNA amplification since Lee et al. described PCR protocols for B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana only. We have found that all pathogenic species of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex were present in ticks collected in recreational areas in the city of Hanover and B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. spielmanii were identified in I. hexagonus ticks collected from hedgehogs confirming their role as reservoirs for pathogenic species of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex. Spirochete cultures for subsequent DNA isolation Spirochetes were cultured to obtain genomic DNA for establishing the genus- and species-specific Borrelia PCR and to determine sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, the DNA of different species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sl-complex served as species-specific PCR positive controls. The following organisms were cultured: B. burgdorferi ss (strain B31 and LW2), B. afzelii (strain NE632 and ZQ1), B. garinii (strain 1B29 and A87SB), B. valaisiana (strain VS116), B. spielmanii, Treponema sokranskii, Leptospira grippothyphosa, and L. interrogans. These spirochetes were cultivated in sterile filtered modified Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium (BSKH medium, Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) at 37°C in 50 ml culture flasks (Sarstedt, Nürmbrecht, Germany). Cultures were monitored twice a week with the dark-field microscope, and refilled with 15 ml of fresh medium. After 14 days the cultures were centrifuged at 8000 × g for 10 min and the resulting pellets diluted with 50 μl of sterile filtered PBS. Genomic DNA was isolated using the QIAamp® DNA Blood Mini Kit (Quiagen, Hilden), according to the manufacturer's instructions, and eluted in 100 μl of deionized H2O. Genus-specific quantitative real time PCR to detect Borrelia burgdorferi sl For genus-specific detection of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex, a TaqMan™ minor groove binder (MGB)-probe and corresponding primers were designed using the Primer Express™ software (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany). As target sequence the 5S-23S intergenic spacer (IGS) was chosen and the design based on species recognized in Europe, whereby diversity was considered in sequence selection. Selected sequences were (GenBank accession numbers and origin in brackets): B. burgdorferi ss (AF497981, Czech Republic; DQ393308, France; AY583237, Russia), B. afzelii (AF497984, Czech Republic; DQ111066, France; DQ020300, Russia), B. garinii (AF497993, Czech Republic; AY163784; Latvia; AY163784, Russia), B. valaisiana (AF497988, Czech Republic; AF497989, Czech Republic; U78150, The Netherlands), and B. lusitaniae (AB091801, Turkey; AB091799, Turkey; DQ111065, France). Designed primer sequences and corresponding TaqMan™-MGB-probe were also checked for sequence matching with B. spielmanii (AF497994, Czech Republic; AM160603, Germany; AM183337, France) and B. bissettii (FJ431140, Czech Republic; FJ431142, Czech Republic; EF015627 USA) after sequence availability in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Primer and probe nucleotide sequences are listed in Table 4. The probe was purchased from Applied Biosystems (Darmstadt, Germany) and primers from Invitrogen (Karlsruhe, Germany). Performance of primers and probe in quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) was tested with isolated DNA from the above mentioned Borrelia cultures. The reaction was set up using the Brilliant® QPCR Master Mix (Stratagene, Heidelberg, Germany): 8.49 μl deionized H2O, 12.50 μl Brilliant buffer (containing SureStart®Taq Polymerase), 0.75 μl forward and reverse primer (100 μM each), respectively, 0.13 μl probe (50 μM), 0.38 μl diluted ROX as reference dye (1:500 dilution), and 2 μl template. Thermal cycling conditions were: 10 min at 94°C followed by 40 cycles of 20 sec at 94°C, 60 sec at 56°C and 45 sec at 72°C. Experiments and data analysis were performed using the Mx3005 Multiplex Quantitative PCR System (Stratagene, Heidelberg, Germany). Amplification products were analyzed via gel electrophoresis (2% agarose gels). The bands were cut out, ligated into pCR® 4-TOPO® vector followed by transformation of Escherichia coli One Shot® TOP 10 cells (TOPO TA Cloning® Kit for Sequencing; Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany). Plasmid DNA was obtained using the NucleoSpin® Plasmid Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Dueren, Germany) following the manufacturer's recommendations and sequenced at the SEQLAB Sequence laboratories (Göttingen, Germany). Sequences were verified by using BLAST searching the non-redundant NCBI database http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/. The plasmid containing the verified sequence of B. afzelii strain NE632 served as plasmid standard in prospective qPCR runs to ensure effective PCR amplification and detection of the fluorescence signal as well as to compile standard curves for determination of the IGS copy number and thus for determination of the Borrelia burden in individual ticks. For these standards, 10-fold serial plasmid dilutions ranging from 100 to 106 copies per reaction were prepared. While the primer/probe combination perfectly matched the IGS sequence of B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. bissettii, and B. valaisiana, there was one mismatch in position 8 of the reverse primer sequence (C instead of T) with B. spielmanii and B. lusitaniae. To examine whether this mismatch has an impact on detection, qPCR runs were performed using a plasmid standard containing the targeted IGS-sequence of B. spielmanii and B. lusitaniae as template. Specificity and sensitivity of the genus-specific quantitative real time PCR To test specificity, isolated DNA of cultured related spirochetes (Treponema sp. and Leptospira spp.) was checked for cross reactivity in qPCR runs. Besides this control, genomic DNA of 100 laboratory bred I. ricinus larvae was also used as negative control. These ticks were processed in the same manner as field-collected ticks described below. Sensitivity testing was conducted by amplification of the plasmid standard serially diluted from 100 to 106 copies. Furthermore, DNA of different dilutions from cultured B. afzelii spirochetes (strain NE632) as well as spiked negative laboratory bred larvae, nymphs, and adults of I. ricinus were amplified to investigate the effect of tick material on the sensitivity of the qPCR. Duplex genus-specific quantitative real time PCR including a DNA isolation positive control For verification of successful genomic DNA isolation, a duplex quantitative real time PCR was established targeting the ITS2-sequence of Ixodes-ticks besides the IGS-sequence of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex. The positive control primer/TaqMan™-MGB-probe combination was designed based on the ITS2-sequence of I. ricinus (GenBank accession number D88884) using the AlleleID® 7 software (version 7.01., Premier Biosoft International, Palo Alto, USA). The nucleotide sequences of the primers and corresponding TaqMan™-MGB-probe are listed in Table 4. The probe was purchased from Applied Biosystems (Darmstadt, Germany) and primers from Invitrogen (Karlsruhe, Germany). To ensure detection of the three most common mammalian Ixodes spp. feeding on mammals in Central Europe (I. ricinus, I. hexagonus and I. canisuga), the primer-probe combination was tested on genomic DNA of the following individuals: 280 I. ricinus (9 larvae, 134 nymphs, 71 adult males, and 66 adult females), 8 I. hexagonus (adult females), and 8 I. canisuga (1 larvae and 7 adult females). To confirm qPCR signal detection, the genomic DNA of each eight individuals of the three Ixodes spp. was amplified with different primer combinations covering different lengths of the Ixodes ITS2-sequence. Used forward primers were: 5'-TTC TTT TGG CGT GGA TGT TGT TCG-3', 5'-TGC GTC GTA GCC TTC-3', and 5'-CTT CTT GCT CGA AGG AGA G-3'. Used reverse primers were: 5'-GCA TCG CTT TCG ATT CGA CAA AAA-3' and 5'-GGG GGT TGT CTC GCC TGA TGT G-3'. Nucleotide data obtained by sequencing the PCR products cloned into pCR® 4-TOPO® have been submitted to the GenBank database under accession numbers GQ330512 - GQ330535. The sequence deposited under the acc. no. GQ330512 (I. ricinus amplified with the primer combination 5'-TTC TTT TGG CGT GGA TGT TGT TCG-3' and 5'-GGG GGT TGT CTC GCC TGA TGT G-3') represented the positive control plasmid standard in subsequent qPCR runs. The set up for the genus-specific qPCR was adapted insofar as for the volume of Ixodes ITS2-specific primers and probe the amount of deionized H2O was reduced. Besides the used Brilliant® QPCR Master Mix (Stratagene, Heidelberg, Germany), the ABsolute™ Blue QPCR low Rox Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hamburg, Germany) was tested for qPCR setup. The qPCR temperature profile was retained unchanged. Species-specific conventional PCR to analyse B. burgdorferi sl species distribution Conventional species-specific PCRs can be used to differentiate species of the B. burgdorferi sl-complex. It was performed for each collected tick (described below) positive in genus-specific qPCR. The species B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana were detected with previously described specific primers targeting the RNA polymerase subunit B (rpo B) gene . To detect B. spielmanii, outer surface protein A (osp A) gene specific primers were designed using the Lasergene PrimerSelect program (DNASTAR, version 5.06; GATC Biotech, Konstanz, Germany) as primer design software. The following osp A sequences from European B. spielmanii isolates were used for primer design: Accession nos. DQ133517 (France), AF102057 (The Netherlands), and EU545183 (Turkey). The nucleotide sequences of all species-specific primers supplied by Invitrogen (Karlsruhe, Germany) are listed in Table 4. Specificity of the designed osp A primers as well as the published rpo B primers was tested with DNA from B. spielmanii, B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii, and B. valaisiana, and other related spirochetes (Treponema spp. and Leptospira spp.) cultured as described above. For B. bissettii and B. lusitaniae specificity was checked via sequence alignment (Align Plus 5, vs. 5.04; Scientific & Educational software, Cary, USA) based on acc nos. DQ393323 and EF457558, respectively. Sequence information for B. bavariensis sp. nov. osp A were not available in the databases. Furthermore, specificity was tested on 100 laboratory bred I. ricinus larvae and additionally via Nucleotide BLAST http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi. The PCR product resulting from B. spielmanii DNA amplification was cloned and sequenced for verification. PCR setup for the conventional species-specific PCR was as follows: 3 μl template was added to 14.2 μl deionized H2O, 2.5 μl 10× buffer, 2.5 μl 10× CoralLoad PCR buffer, 0.5 μl MgCl2 (50 mM), 0.5 μl deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (10 mM each), 0.8 μl gene-specific forward and reverse primer (10 μM each), respectively, and 0.2 μl Taq Polymerase (5 U/μl; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). PCR cycling (40 cycles) was performed using for B. burgdorferi ss, B. afzelii, B. garinii and B. valaisiana the annealing temperatures described by Lee et al. and 57°C for B. spielmanii. The following temperature profile was used: Initial denaturing at 94°C for 4 min, denaturing at 94°C for 30 sec, annealing for 30 sec, extending primers at 72°C for 30 sec and final elongation for 4 min. Analysis of B. burgdorferi sl infections in ticks of the city of Hanover In the city of Hanover, the capital of the federal state Lower Saxony, 1000 ticks were collected in recreation areas using the flagging method for subsequent investigation of infection with the B. burgdorferi sl-complex. Furthermore, the dark-field microscopy (DFM) technique should be compared to the established qPCR method. To perform the DFM analysis, every selected tick was placed in an individual tube and mechanically homogenized with single-use polystyrene homogenizers (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) in 50 μl sterile filtered phosphate buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.2). From the homogenized solution, 10 μl were placed on a microscope slide and entirely examined for spirochetes using a DFM microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany). If one spirochete was found, the sample was determined as positive. After DFM analysis, the vials containing the ticks' homogenized solution were stored at -75°C until DNA isolation as described above. When performing genus-specific qPCR, the micro titre plates contained duplicates of each tick sample as well as serially diluted plasmid standards to generate standard curves and a no-template control. Each tick positive in genus-specific qPCR was examined with species-specific conventional PCR to obtain information about the species distribution. Analysis of Borrelia infections in ticks collected from hedgehogs Besides hanoverian ticks, 238 ticks collected from hedgehogs in 23 different sites of the federal states Schleswig-Holstein, North-Rhine Westphalia, Saxony, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, and Berlin were analysed for infection with B. burgdorferi sl by genus-specific quantitative real time PCR and positive ticks were analysed for species distribution via conventional PCR.

Infected Wounds: When to See a DoctorFriday, May 10th, 2019, 9:46 am Most cuts and scrapes do not require the attention of a doctor. You can treat most minor injuries at home with bandages and antibiotic ointment. However, there are some cases in which a doctor needs to be seen for injuries. When wounds become infected, you may need a doctor’s care to treat the infection appropriately and prevent further damage. Here’s when to see a doctor for an infected wound. Redness and Swelling Some wound infections are minor and can be treated at home with antibiotic ointment and keeping the area clean. Yet when the area becomes extremely red and swollen it becomes necessary to see a doctor. Your wound may have even partially healed, but be red and swollen underneath the healed cut or scrape. In these cases, it may be necessary to reopen the wound and remove the infection. If you notice red streaks or lines from the wound going up your skin toward your heart, you should see a doctor right away. This is a sign that your wound has become so infected that it is affecting your blood. Such infections are very serious and if left untreated can even become deadly. Even if you have been treating your wound at home, if you see red streaks you should see a doctor right away. If you have a wound that has failed to heal at all even with adequate at home care, it could be a sign of a serious infection that is preventing healing from occurring. It is important that if you have a wound that shows no improvement over the course of several days that you see a doctor for treatment. If you have an infected wound, there is no need to visit a hospital or wait to see your doctor. At our urgent care we can see you right away, even with a walk in and no appointment. Contact us today for more information.

Old Caterpillar Video: This Introduction Film Of The Caterpillar 944 Wheel Loader From The 1950s Is Awesome We take lots of stuff for granted today when we see it. Machines and operations that have seemingly been around since tim first began. The fact of the matter is that everything we do as human beings is evolutionary and that includes how we move the Earth and design the machines that we do it with. This video from the 1950s shows off the (then) new Caterpillar 944 wheel loader. The company that was (and is) so famous for making crawler tractors of all shapes and sizes wanted to make sure the world knew that they could make one equipped with tires as well. The video is cool because we see the machine working in all different types of conditions. Scooping loam, sand, gravel, and whatever else they wanted to capture on film. We see the tractor being driven at its maximum speed of 24mph in it road/travel gear, and we see it stopping for a school bus to let kids cross the street in front of it. We dig the fact that we get to check out the engines and see the wild transmission that sent the power to the axles. Oh, axles. We see those too as the tractor is driven over an old school lube pit (at least that is what it looks like) and the camera has a perfect view of its guts from the perspective of an ant. Working this machine through the summer would have meant a killer tan or a deadly sun burn. Working this machine through the winter would mean that you’d be freezing your giblets off out there in the elements. Cabs, heat, and protection from the elements were a long way off from the time this was made. A cool machine and a great film! This 1950s Caterpillar video shows the awesome 944 when it was brand new!

Special to WorldTribune.com By Sumantra Maitra, Freepressers.com The 5 day August war between Russia and Georgia changed the geopolitical and geostrategic scenario of Europe. It is important for many reasons. It was the first East-West conflict since the end of Cold War. It was the first European war since the Second World War, where the boundary of one sovereign nation was changed by force. It was the rare instance where the USA took a backseat to the European Union in deciding how to solve a crisis, and most importantly it demonstrated the resurgence of Russia, and her turning back to autocratic tendencies and 19th century “sphere of influence” politics, after 20 years of military pacifism, Perestroika and self portrayed ignominy. “A Little War That Shook The World”, the last book by Ronald D. Asmus before his death, is for lack of better words, a must-read. It is the first, and so far the only draft of the history of an event which had repercussions across the globe, and continues to do so. It clearly suffers from purple patches, repetitions, and occasional diatribes, but in totality, it charts an event which ironically has been much neglected. And therefore, for students of politics, diplomacy, international relations and foreign policy, this book becomes invaluable for the insight and the firsthand account it provides. Mikheil Saakashvili is portrayed as a maverick — not the “hothead” the World media represented him to be — a leader whose only motivation was to take his country West towards greater Atlanticism and democracy, despite opposition from Russia. It also carefully charts with statistics the massive, disproportionate, and deadly counterattack of Russia, “something like hell”, determined to crush any opposition to its territorial ambition and influence and NATO’s westward expansion. The counterattack also sought to teach the West a lesson for the impunity and perceived injustice in Kosovo, which Russia regards as a tremendous injustice done to her. In fact, according to the author, it is the recognition of Kosovo a decade back, which started this eventual downslide to madness. The war was carefully planned by the Russians, premeditated, and decided for years. The August crisis was just a trap where the options were either a slow balkanization and disintegration of Georgia, or a war and forced amputation. Saakashvili took the latter. The book is not without flaws. While demonizing Putin, Ron Asmus praised Gorbachev and Yeltsin as visionaries who took Russia towards greater freedom. Gorbachev I understand, but Yeltsin?! Perhaps the author forgot the famous quote by Yeltsin during the second Chechen War in Grozny, where he responded to Bill Clinton, “ It seems he has for a minute, for a second, for half a minute, forgotten that Russia has a full arsenal of nuclear weapons.” Also, the book is silent about the future of Atlanticism, and NATO. The internal problem of NATO started during the Balkan crisis, increased gradually with Iraq, Kosovo and Georgia, and came to the forefront, openly during the recent Arab Spring. Is the future of the alliance over? Because with each passing day it is just looking like a Cold War relic, an outdated bureaucratic super-state. Perhaps Ron Asmus, being the chief architect and advocate of an expanded and enlarged NATO couldn’t come to admit that maybe, his experiment was wrong. The newly joined states don’t have the democratic platform, free-market, or military prowess to join the alliance, much less carry the responsibility that comes with it. Why do I recommend this book then? Simply because, it is the only comprehensive book among a rare few written on this episode of history, which has not been much discussed and charted. Today when we see Putin about to come back to power, reforming the old Soviets and promoting Eurasianism, Russia Veto-ing sanctions against Iran and Syria, and warning of Nuclear war in its neighborhood if the expansion of NATO is not stopped, we remember that this course was already foretold a couple of years back. Ron Asmus died at 53 on April 30. His book is still taking those of us interested in foreign policy and diplomacy, to elementary schools. He is such an authority. I second the emotions expressed by the Economist: “I worry that his passing marks the passing of an age. He epitomized the generous-spirited and ambitious sentiments that won the cold war and rebuilt Europe on the rubble of the evil empire. Things seem more mean-spirited now.” - Hardcover: 272 pages - Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1 edition (January 19, 2010) - Language: English

Creative director and all round good bloke Dave left agency life, where he was a Co-Director, for greater flexibility in how, when and where he worked. Since his move to independence at the end of 2019 he hasn’t looked back – despite Covid 19 rearing its ugly head. Read about his design journey and positive outlook as a freelance creative during the current climate. What has been your career journey to now? I graduated from uni in 2008, right in the middle of the GFC so getting any job, let alone one in design, was a challenge. After a few solid months of searching, I eventually found some casual work at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary as a supervisor of their high ropes course. By chance I got chatting with the CEO and mentioned that I was a designer and he said that the Marketing Department could do with my help. I started splitting my week between the Marketing Department and the high ropes course, slowly transitioning to become the park’s Multimedia Manager. A couple of years into my time at Currumbin, I decided to pick up the textbooks again and study for my Masters in Marketing. Working full time while also studying full time was a great way to make sure I didn’t have much of a social life for three years. During this period the opportunity presented itself to join the Gold Coast creative studio, Oven Creative. My goal for many years was to work at a studio, so I was all in. I spent the next seven-ish years at Oven, eventually becoming Co-director and wearing many hats along the way. In late 2019, my Co-director and I decided that, after a couple of monster years for the studio and some changes in personal circumstances for us both, it would be a good time to call it a day. Since then, I’ve been out on my own, cutting my teeth in the world of full-time freelance. You recently went out on your own, what attracted you to that? The potential for greater flexibility in how, when and where I work. I needed to establish a healthy work-life balance and I wanted greater control over the type of work I was doing. … and has it happened the way you thought it would? Has anything surprised you? Somewhat… it all started out pretty smooth until the Covid-19 lockdowns and restrictions came into play in early 2020. I’m hopeful that once things start going back to normal, work will pick up and I’ll have a sustainable project load again. Until then, I am enjoying the additional time I have to spend on the projects that come my way and some creative projects for my own enjoyment. Do you have a routine or structure to working from home? After 10+ years of office life, I’ve rebelled a little and have a pretty loose routine. Most days (when not in lock-down) I will wake up, have a bite to eat then take the dogs for a morning meander. I’ll then have a shower, pack up my gear and head to a cafe or library to work from for the morning. I’ll switch it up for a few hours in the afternoon before heading home to work for a couple more hours and top it off with another dog walk. I’m trying to make time for exercise each day, be it pilates, cycling or yoga. I’ve also found meditation and reading to be really good for my mind, so putting some time aside for those activities has become a priority. What’s one item from your home office you couldn’t live without right now? Not the most inspiring answer but I love my work mouse, the Logitech MX Master 2S. It’s a beast! Four words that sum up being an independent for you? Flexible, personal, agile, unshaven, rebellious.

MLRHAS: How did your passion for Land Rovers start? PB: It started when I was a youngster and they always had those Camel ads at the bioscope or drive-ins with the Camel man doing his thing. Of course the Camel Adventure used to be the ultimate test and probably the fantasy of many boys! Nowadays we have a new G-class CDI300, but the landy is family and will always be. The passion is still there and I would love a Series 1!!! MLRHAS: What was the first Land Rover you owned? PB: I bought a 2000 Td 5 90 new MLRHAS: How many Land Rovers have you owned? PB: I still have the same one! MLRHAS: Do your Land Rovers have a name? If so, what is the name? PB: It is called Moemfie after a cartoon elephant. The rear mudflaps used to remind me of the flapping ears of a baby elephant running… MLRHAS: What is your most memorable Land Rover moment? PB: We’ve had plenty of amazing trips and we have been blessed to have the opportunity to live it. I would have to say exploring north of the Okovango Delta after crossing over at Mohembo with the ferry and then navigating all the way to Savuti using a very old GPS. No T4A, etc!! We went all the way up to Kasane and then Vic Falls followed by a long drive back to Cape Town MLRHAS: What is your favourite accessory on your Land Rover and why? PB: We recently took the 90 to Andrew Faber from LR Service Centre in Southfield, CPT for a complete suspension upgrade, respray and a host of other items. She looks stunning and brand new and is obviously fitted with a host of new goodies. My favourite is still my dual battery system. Sitting alone in the Central Kalahari having a G&T WITH ICE on a hot summers day is the dogs bollocks. MLRHAS: Complete the sentence: My Land Rover has a Soul because… PB: it is not perfect. There’s been days when you want swear at it and then again days when you could hug it for pulling you through unimaginable obstacles. It does what it says on the label and you cannot ask for more than that! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TELL US ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LAND ROVER THEN CLICK THE “SUBMIT MY STORY’ BUTTON BELOW…

This article was originally written by Coach Sahil M. from TumblingCoach.com and is Republished under permission, granted to allgymnasts.com on Aug 7th, 2015. Let’s face it, mental blocks are very real and something you may have to deal with at some point in your tumbling career. Personally, I hope you never get them and tumble fearlessly forever. However, after coaching so many athletes over the years, I’ve come to realize that even the best of the best will experience some type of mental hiccup which will put a damper on their training. One of the most annoying things about a mental block is that the cause is usually hard to pinpoint – it could because of bailing on a skill, getting hurt, social pressure, competition pressure, or some other stressful experience. But, there are two things I know for certain when it comes to mental blocks: - They are always triggered by something and are never spontaneous. Even if the trigger is very minor, it’s always there. - They can always be overcome as long as you keep an open mind by trying different solutions till something works. In fact, I think breaking past a mental block is like trying to open an unfamiliar lock while holding a keychain with 50 different keys on it. You know one of them will work, but you’re not sure which one… so the only thing you can do is keep trying until the lock pops open. Think of each one of these “keys” as a mental-block-busting tool we have at our disposable; tools such as drills, spots from coaches, different training equipment, different facilities and so on. But today, I’m going to reveal five odd and completely out of the box methods that you can add to your “keychain” to help you overcome your mental block. I’ve used each one of these methods in the past either personally or with my athletes, so I know they work. But the only way you’ll know if it works for you, is to try them out. Method 1: Osmosis In the self-development world, there’s a very well known success principal which states that if you want to be rich and successful, you should start hanging around rich and successful people. Sounds weird, but it actually does work – take a struggling business owner, have him hang around a bunch of successful business owners and within a few years, his income will start to catch up to those around him. Well it’s not magic, or law of attraction, or that his new his new successful friends “make it rain” on his head at every given chance. Instead, the struggling person will start to model those that he deems successful (provided his coachability index is high). So if they start giving public speeches, he’ll start to give public speeches. If they build a website, he’ll have a website. If they start a facebook fan page, he’ll do the same. It’s not copying, it’s modeling; there is a difference. So how can we use this to help our tumbling? Let’s say you can do tucks and layouts just fine, but when it comes to twisting, you just can’t seem to do the damn thing. How can you fix this twisting problem? First, make sure you and your coach have a plan in place with ample drills to get you used to twisting again. Here’s a video is my athlete Holly, showing a good drill for a handspring full. However, when you walk outside the gym, start watching lots and lots of videos of other people doing the full – specially those that have a similar physical build as yours. Next, seek out and start hanging around those who can do the full. Ask them questions, help them with anything they need, and just put yourself in an environment where you’re surrounded by those that have what you want. Sounds oddly simple, and maybe even a bit voodoo, but I can tell you personally that this works wonders! Every year I go to Woodward, I spend time hanging with world champion calibre tumblers. And every year, I’ve come back a better athlete with new skills, new insights, new drills… new everything! I’m a whole new person. Barriers that I thought I had simply vanish away, and I don’t even know how it happens. It just does. And when I’m not training, I’m either eating, sleeping or watching videos of tumbling. But the great thing is that you don’t have to go to Woodward to do this, just surround yourself with success and eventually you’ll have no choice but to live up to the standard set by your environment. Success does rub off, just don’t demand a deadline for it; let it happen naturally. Method 2: Act It Out This is an advanced form of visualization. What you want to do is stand on the floor you’ll be tumbling on, then basically do a “run through” of your tumbling pass that’s as realistic as possible, without actually doing much of the tumbling pass it self. This allows the neurons in the brain to build up the connections necessary and it trains your motor patterns so that when you finally do decide to do the pass, it’s almost second nature (or unconsciously competent, for those of you that’ve read my earlier work.) For example, if you were trying to act out a round off > back handspring > full, here’s how it should go down: - Do the round off (be sure that your run takes the same amount of steps that you usually do. No more, no less.) - After you land the round off, throw your arms up and arch your back to pretend you just did a handspring, without actually doing it. - While moving backwards, throw your arms up again to practice the set for a full. - Jump straight up in the air, and do a standing jump full turn, putting your arms in the exact same position you use for the full, and land back on your feet. - Finally, don’t forget that Act It Out is a visualization technique at heart, so in your mind you should really see yourself doing the pass. In fact, you should almost feel it. To someone watching from afar, it might look a little odd. Some might say this is stupid or silly, and that you should “just go for it.” But don’t let the doubters fool you, because visualization is one of the most powerful tools we have as athletes. Let me give you an example Have you heard about the 4 minute mile? Before Roger Bannister came along and completely destroyed people’s expectation of what a human body was capable of, running a mile in four minutes or less was deemed “physically impossible” by doctors, sports specialists and coaches. Simply because it had never been done before, and those that tried it previously kept failing. At some point, instead of persevering onwards, every runner simply accepted it as “fact” that the human body just cannot run a mile in under 4 minutes. Kind of like how many gymnasts and tumblers believed doing a quad twist on sprung floor was completely impossible… until we realized it wasn’t. Oopse. So how did Roger Bannister do it? I mean you can’t train to do a mile in under 4 minutes without actually doing it physically. Therefore physical training alone wasn’t going to cut it. However, Roger realized that he can visualize himself running it, and make it so convincing that eventually his body will carry him through. And so that’s what he did. When his mind believed, his body followed. Always remember this: The only limits that exist in your mind, are the ones you place inside it. Powerful stuff. And incase you haven’t realized it yet, Act It Out is also a useful tool that can help you develop skills you don’t have yet. For example, if you’re working towards a double twist, act it out and really think about how it would feel to twist for a second time. “surround yourself with success and eventually, you’ll have no choice but to live up to the standard set by your environment” (Tweet this) Method 3: Beat Around The Bush For the younger ones reading this, “beating around the bush” is phrase used to describe someone who avoids coming to the point and delays approaching a subject directly. So now you might be wondering, “Hey coach, how does avoiding the mental block, actually help me get past my mental block?!” Well as I stated before, a mental block works in mysterious ways, so taking a break from the skill that’s giving you problems can actually be beneficial. Remember, tumbling can go backwards and forwards. It can be done on a Tumble Trak or Air Track. Finally, skills can be individually worked on a trampoline too; you have tonnes of options. Allow me to give you a personal example Once upon a time (when I was a young and foolish), I had a mental block on my double twist. It’s the same block I encountered on my full twist so I decided to use the exact same tactic that worked previously – literally powering through it. I knew my body knew how to full, so I gave myself zero choice while coming out of the back hand spring. I trusted that as soon as I threw the set, my body would know how to double. However, the same thing didn’t work; I did a one and a half and ate mat. Not just once, but over and over again. Clearly, I needed a different approach. Due to sheer frustration, I just stopped doing the double and worked on something else that was similar in nature – the Rudy. For those that don’t know, a Rudy is a front layout with a 1.5 twist. The beauty of this skill is that you land facing the way you came, so it can be connected to whips and handsprings. I didn’t think about this as a “technique” at the time; I just spent a few weeks on the Rudy and my 1.5 twist became so tight and fast that when I finally decided to go back to my double twist, it came back as if I had never lost it. It was literally magic. You might want to try something similar. And if the skill that’s giving you trouble has no similar substitute, don’t worry, the point is to ENJOY working on something else for a while. As long as you’re doing something that requires you to go upside down, you’re doing it right. Method 4: Do Something Else You’re Good At This is a great method to combine with number three. While you’re working other skills, it’s important you do other activities that you’re good at. What this does is boost your confidence. Why is this important? Well despite what you may think, confidence, self esteem and generally feeling good about yourself spills over in all other areas of your life, and if your mental block was triggered due to a confidence related issue, this could be the invaluable key that opens the lock. So tell me, what else are you good at? It doesn’t matter, as long as it makes you feel accomplished and you feel good doing it – that is the key. Don’t do anything that frustrates you, otherwise you’re not doing yourself any favors. “The only limits that exist in your mind, are the ones you place inside it.” (Tweet this) Method 5: Just Staaph! Yup, just stop completely and take a week off. Sometimes stepping away lets your body recover not only physically, but mentally as well. In powerlifting, this method is actually very common; many powerlifters train with extreme intensity while dieting hard to make weight. However, about 5-7 days before the competition, lifters usually stop training and take a chill pill. Most people think that someone who is going to be lifting hundreds of pounds in front of people should keep training, but that is actually counter productive since it’s not just your muscles that need to recover, but your nervous system and mentality as well. I personally attained a National Deadlift Record in May 2012 and I took 4 full days off before my meet. I had already made weight so I literally sat on the couch, read books and relaxed. Come competition day, I was so well rested and mentally clear that I crushed it when it counted. Had I been in the gym constantly pounding the weights, I probably would have been too weak to perform at my best. Sometimes taking a step back is just what you need, so that you can two steps forward later. Try it, you won’t be disappointed. I want to hear from you!

I am just an ordinary guy that occurred to make the bad selection to start using tobacco at an early age. I smoked cigarettes for above fifteen years. If I can stop cigarette smoking, so can you. You do not need to have any crutches like the nicotine gums or anything else. You can and need to do it cold turkey! First and foremost, if you want to quit smoking, you have to WANT to give up.. If you do not want to give up, then you will not be effective. Quitting smoking cigarettes could probably be the greatest factor you could at any time do for yourself. The benefits of quitting smoking cigarettes are astronomical. Your health will boost significantly, you will help save a ton of funds and foods preferences so much much better. The most crucial point to keep in mind and I cannot anxiety this ample is that you have to be ready. You have to be up to the obstacle. You are in handle, not the cigarettes. My program was basic and I did not want to smoke any for a longer time. I had a family members that I needed to be around for. When I place some imagined into it, it seemed almost foolish to be paying so significantly to lessen your life. It is crucial to have the correct frame of mind. I have presently explained that you have to be prepared but you have to influence by yourself that you are heading to overcome cigarettes. You must be constructive and know that your are in handle. Consider everyday just like the 1st. When you wake up, be positive. When you have not had a cigarette for four times, It would not make any sense to damage those 4 days and begin all in excess of, following 4 times the worst portion is above and it’s all down hill. Four days with out a cigarette is very an accomplishment and by this time the bodily component of the addiction is above. Your human body no longer wants nicotine. From this position on it is all psychological. What no 1 looks to understand is that it truly is not that challenging. As a culture we are informed that cigarettes are so addictive and they are a single of the most difficult issues to put down and quit. This is the incorrect way to believe about it, In truth quitting smoking cigarettes is simple. It is not that difficult at all. If I experienced to examine it to anything at all, I would say that it is no worse that possessing the widespread chilly. Sure you will be irritable and cranky but everyday that you go with no a cigarette will take you one particular day closer your objective of never ever cigarette smoking yet again and it actually isn’t that bad. How several colds have you created it by means of? Each and every solitary one proper? Effectively you can quit using tobacco also! When make the decision to stop, make certain you give yourself a few days absent from the business office or occupation. I would propose halting on a Friday evening and here is how I did it. I obtained my previous package deal of cigarettes on Friday. I smoked them all through the day, besides for one particular. This previous cigarette would be my buddy. It would console me when the craving was at it’s strongest. That evening before going to bed, I lit my final cigarette knowing in my head that I was completed with them, that I was now in manage. Right here is the place that final cigarette come into perform. Instead of ending my last cigarette, I only smoke half of it. I place it out and stuffed the 50 percent smoked cigarette back again into the vacant cigarette bundle. It was likely to be with me for about two months and it was. I took that pack of cigarettes with me almost everywhere. When the urge to smoke was at it truly is strongest, I would consider out that lonely 50 percent of a cigarette and set it to my lips and fake to smoke it. The taste of this half burnt cigarette happy my urges when they ended up at their peak. I utilised this technique for about eight times. On the 99th working day when the urge to smoke reared it’s ugly head, I took out that lonely 50 % burnt cigarette that I experienced been carrying about with me for the earlier eight days. บุหรี่ไฟฟ้า appeared at this pathetically disgusting point and realized that I no more time had any desire to put that wretched half smoked cigarette to my lips. It was foul and it smelled really bad. I considered to myself, this is how cigarettes have smelt all together. From that position, I in no way smoked yet again. That was over 10 many years in the past. I did it, so can you. With the extra money I was saving, I was ready to get a new automobile. It was a reward to myself. I also started out to recognize minor items. Outdoors air seemed to smell far better. Almost everything seemed to smell much better. I also observed that when I did get a chilly, it only caught with me for 50 percent as long as it did when I had smoked. Make that choice to give up smoking since that is the toughest component.

I had an interesting conversation today. We were talking about testing, a group of us at coffee this morning, talking about how to get messages over to people. How do you explain things that people are not understanding in a way they can “get” it. We talked about how visual representations can help some folks and how some people need more, well, linear representations. I talked a bit on how I have used mind-maps in the past – to track requirements and look at impact and risk and, well, stuff. Then we talked about how we can present ideas to other people and get some core ideas an questions around them can be explained, sometimes in other ways. For example? Well, Christmas for example. So, for a long, long time, Christmas has been celebrated in December. Now, the stories around the “Nativity Event” all point to Jesus, you know, the guy whose birth is commemorated by the celebration/Holiday of Christmas, was born in the Spring. Likely around April. How is this clear? Well, consider that in Judea in the 1st Century (BC/AD – whatever) shepherds did not watch their flocks at night in the dead of winter – they did that when they were sent to pasture – in the Spring – April likely. Yet, somehow people got the idea of celebrating the birth of this fellow in December seemed a reasonable idea. Of course, that has naught to do with reality. So, because there were large celebrations and festivals in Rome in the 1st Century AD and well into the 2nd and 3rd – this time of year honoring Saturn – the Saturnalia. Now, Saturn was an interesting character in the world of Roman mythology. He was a complex figure thanks to his multiple associations, history, and stuff. He was the first god of the Capitol, known since the most ancient times as Saturnius Mons, and was seen as a god of generation, dissolution, plenty, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. At some point, he also became a god of time (not a Time Lord, significant difference there.) The Temple of Saturn in the Forum (the “city center” of Rome) housed the state treasury. Cool, eh? Well, the big celebration of Saturn was, as I mentioned, the Saturnalia. Good party, that, I expect (my grandson’s questions to the contrary – I wasn’t there to actually participate, mind.) Included in the celebration, was gift giving. Sometimes they were quite extravagant – other times, simple and fun. And children got games and toys and fun stuff. And somehow, the idea of visiting people and sharing meals and gifts seemed to fit. And, according to a couple of versions of the story, followers of this, Jesus fellow, joined in – about the same time, in December, around the Solstice, they began sharing meals and gifts. Instead of honoring Saturn, they honored Jesus’ birth. Then there is the word Christmas, derived from “Christ’s Mass” – the religious commemoration of the “Nativity Event.” There we have it – a celebration commemorating a thing that happened no where near the actual date of the events commemorated, but was similar to other celebrations happening at a given time of year. And you know what? I don’t think it matters. Much like how we explain things – like, how we get people to look at other symbols – this is a symbol that people use to teach loads of things. Like, peace and charity and love. Look at the things used as symbols to teach these lessons. The hammer of Mithras (who was born about this time, according to ‘myth’, grew to adulthood quickly and died to save his people, his followers – to rise from the dead and lead them to victory) the sun of Saturn (who brought wealth, prosperity and health to the people) St Nicholas/Father Christmas/Santa Clause who brings gifts/rewards to the worthy. All are symbols associated with this time of year. All taught lessons at different times to people, who passed them on and taught lessons to live by. Explaining fundamental ideas to people is a challenge, particularly when those people are young children. Sometimes the ideas around testing are things that are hard to explain any other way without symbols and metaphors, particularly with those who have no real connection with good testing. We use terms that encompass what we mean – but then we don’t always know how they relate to other people or their experience. So we need to try and explain, somehow – and we find ourselves looking at the idea of bags full of gifts and magical mutant caribou. These symbols are representations of aspects that are important (or were important in some respect at some time) to the holiday or festival being celebrated. We use symbols and representations for what we do as well – mind maps, requirements documents, test plans, design documents, process flow diagrams, state diagrams, transition diagrams, and (dare I say it?) bug reports. These are not the thing they are explanations and representations of the thing. So, while I consider the testing equivalent of magic bags and reindeer, let me wish you the greetings of the season – Io Saturnalia – Happy Solstice – Happy Hanakkuh – Happy Kwanzaa – Merry Christmas.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. ~ Ephesians 6.10-12, ESV Welcome to mile-marker 19 of our #encourage marathon. (If you missed yesterday’s post, you can read it here.) Someone out there is weak. It might even be you. We can be strong in all the wrong ways, making us weak in the struggles that matter most. One may be strong in knowledge, but have no clue as to how to apply it. One can be a strong drinker, corroding their liver and slowly killing themselves. One can be strong in body, but unable to control their temper, making them a bully. We must be strong in the right way. Strong-willed against evil. Strong against our foolish desires. Strong against temptation. Strong in the LORD. We are running our race of life in a battle zone. War is going on all around us. If we trust in our own strength—relying on our wealth, position, brawn, knowledge, etc—the enemy will inevitably overpower us. It’s not a matter of if, but when. Our enemy is cunning; it is foolishness to underestimate him. How do we stand strong in the Lord? To be strong in the Lord, we must suit up in His armor and face the enemy prepared. Notice that Paul says, we must “put on the whole armor” not just some of it. Every single piece is critical to our survival. I was told a true story about a police officer who survived a fight on the side of the road with a deadly felon. The day of the incident, he was scheduled to work an overtime detail. As he suited up, he momentarily considered leaving his backup pistol behind. It was, after all, just an overtime detail. In the course of the day, he spotted a vehicle that had been identified as having two felons. He pulled them over and a fight ensued between one man while the other felon ran. He fought this huge, burly man on the side of the road. It was a fight for his very life. They struggled on the ground and the felon grabbed hold of his gun. The officer managed to get it away from the felon and grabbed his backup pistol. Still wrestling on the ground, the felon strong-armed the officer and turned the pistol (still in the officer’s hand) toward the officer. The officer and the felon both had their hands in the trigger guard area. The officer’s trigger finger was behind the the trigger so that it could not be pulled back to fire. They struggled for ageless minutes in this way until finally the officer was able to turn the gun around and eliminate his enemy. The officer lost his trigger finger, but saved his own life. What would have happened if he hadn’t brought his full gear? He would likely have perished completely. We must wear every piece of the Lord’s armor or we will leave ourselves vulnerable to destruction. If we approach any situation with the attitude “I can manage without this piece of gear this go-around,” our enemy will notice what we lack and attack. If we are going to be strong in the Lord and stand against the devil, we need it all, every moment. None of us can rely on our own strength to win this fight. Be strong in the Lord and HIS might, not your own. Keep on fighting. Keep on advancing. Please continue to join me on Facebook, Twitter and here at Elihu’s Corner for this marathon. Share the image or verse reference on your Twitter feed or Facebook page with the hash tag (#encourage). Take time today to copy down this verse for yourself. Send an email or text to someone you know who would benefit from this encouragement. Make some time to copy down these verses. Some of them are a bit long, but it only takes a few minutes. Ask your kids to do it with you. Don’t just be encouraged, but encourage others in the race! Here is my own copywork from yesterday:

The future of sourcing: Go Large or Go home! The future of sourcing is uncertain in these times. The world continues to evolve into a global market place with organizations expanding its operation across geographies. Hence, when the size of businesses grows, the operations complexity also grows. One peculiar aspect of this phenomenon that makes business leaders sweat the most is sourcing. Scale and complexity are directly proportional when it comes to sourcing. The reasons for that are as follows: - BU’s and territorial companies have different policies, processes, and constraints. - Increased transportation cost and overheads - Several territories resulting in complex supply chains because of international logistics. - Difficulty in supplier collaboration and control - Scattered spend and unrealized saving resulting in organizations not able to generate value from sourcing activities From operationalizing automation to deriving strategic Value: The procurement department across fortune 1000 companies are perceived as a strategic function through which an organization can achieve dollar saving rather than achieve cost avoidance. This shift has primarily happened with the advent of seasoned procurement professionals and technological breakthroughs made. “Without strategic sourcing, we would not be able to improve cost, quality, and service levels while guarding against third-party risk.” – SIG, 3 Sourcing and Procurement Trends for 2020 As expectations grow from the procurement function to deliver more, the process level and policy level innovations are evident. Therefore, procurement leaders continue to look at sourcing optimization as a means to generate results. Some pressing needs of the market are- - Consolidation of sourcing spends and events to ensure economies of scale and more control. - Automated processes and compliance across business units and geographies. - Automated decision making and analytical decision models that make action fast and easy. Market need: “Intelligent” sourcing Given the dynamic market need, technology partners are fostering the next generation of solutions to support every nuance of the sourcing process. These solutions are not just restricted to modern eSourcing tools. There are increasingly specialized tools like sourcing optimizers to support large scale sourcing tools. · Central platform to manage the entire sourcing life cycle. · Standalone tool works well for events to be conducted, which are strategic and medium in size. (<10,000 lanes) · Limited Analysis capabilities restricted by time and manual process. · Solution that works as an engine to support bid analysis and enable decision making. · Combined with an eSourcing tool that can help scale events and create large scale events. (>60,000 lanes) · The engine leverages structured data that automates the entire analysis process By combining both the tools, it can unleash groundbreaking efficiencies and saving opportunities for the organization. As a result, more solutions are looking to augment existing eSourcing tools into end-to-end sourcing tools by accommodating point functionalities. Realizing the benefits of sourcing Solution vendors have identified the pressing market gap, and few pioneers have already combined technological prowess with deep process knowledge to craft the perfect solutions. Hence, the approach to identify what works for a particular organization is a simple assessment of realized value derived. Let us dive into what value does best in breed process, and methods hold for an organization- - Savings is a combination of all the value points mentioned below and the most important one. Hence, the ability to manage and collaborate better with suppliers plus tighter control over the process gives additional leverage to the procurement organization. - This leverage helps unlock saving opportunities in the form of other discounts, cutting redundancies, reduction in overall cost across the sourcing life-cycle, which would otherwise not be available. - Adopting best practices triggers a culture of identifying redundancies in a process and doing away from them. Modern eSourcing tools help to consolidate scattered sourcing events leveraging automation at all stages of the event life cycle. Also, with a reduction in manual intervention and repetitive tasks, you save a lot of time. - There are clear advantages to consolidating spend via large scale sourcing events to leverage economies of scale. As the scale increases, the complexity also increases. - Modern solutions can handle problems with powerful computing capabilities and leaner process flows. By using these solutions which have the ability to increase the scale of sourcing activities, buyers can unlock many savings opportunities. - Process automation will be the next big trend across business functions, particularly in sourcing. Therefore, procurement organizations are focusing on identifying manual and labor-intensive tasks to find better methodologies of doing them. - End-to-end sourcing and optimization tools substantially decrease the workload and let procurement professionals focus on strategic activities. Business intelligence and analytics: - Data backed decision-making is very important for procurement professionals, given the risk associated with sourcing and related activities. As a result, mining business intelligence and analysis proves to be a very time-consuming activity if done manually, costing businesses real money. - Advanced optimization tools can take a complex problem as large as containing thousands of lanes and responses from hundreds of suppliers, process it, and generate results in just minutes. Thus, sourcing is entering the next age of technological advancement because of the evolutionary forces of market and board room expectations. As a result, cost-cutting and identifying sustainable saving avenues are higher. The opportunity is for the taking for procurement organizations to get the first movers advantage; the receptive technological organization will go beyond the curve and unlock new sourcing efficiencies.

We arrived in Halifax after 8pm. By the time we checked into our hotel and everything, it was after 9 when we headed out to find somewhere for dinner. We are right downtown, so figured it would be easy. No such luck. No one in downtown Halufax will serve food to children after 9pm! Well, Subway and Pita Pit would, but we were hoping for something a little more substantial. Thankfully, after a phone call back to our hotel for help, we found this place, and as long as we say on the right side of the restaurant, they could serve our kids food. I kid you not!

SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site. Room for Improvement: This is a good service, however a costly one. Most suitable for companies with smaller data and application footprint. If you are a larger organization with many applications with a large volume of data it is an expensive affair to pay for the DR site rental on a long term basis. Also, consider the cost involved in transporting your Engineers to the DR site. Application validation work can still be done remotely using VPN access. Most SunGard DR data centers are located in industrial areas of smaller towns. They have good facilities like conference rooms, recreational areas and have a good deal of security options. The centers operate on a 24/7 basis. These make most sense for companies who anyways out source their data centers.

As a teenager, in high school, I remember an experiment in the biology class with Ritz Crackers. We were studying about the importance and role of enzymes in the digestive process. Our teacher (I don´t remember his name) went around the room, passing out one cracker to each student and asking us to put it in our mouths. “What do you taste?” Everyone blurted out “Salt!” He then told us to start chewing, without swallowing, for 30 seconds. “What do you taste now?” “Sweet!” We then learned that the Ritz crackers were made from wheat, a carbohydrate, and that the enzyme Amylase, produced by the salivary glands, converted the carbohydrates (starches) into sugar, which would eventually be delivered into our muscles and liver cells…to be used as energy. What we were told then, and what I now find very interesting, is that carnivores do not have amylase in their saliva, which strongly suggests that they do not tolerate carbohydrates. Also, carnivores, unlike us humans, don´t have taste buds for sweet and that´s why, if given the choice, they won´t generally eat sweet foods. In fact, it could make them sick. Check this out with your cat. On the other hand, omnivores, such as our pet dog, can eat sweets, and herbivores…love sweet foods. Because of this abundance of Amylase in human saliva, and the absence of it in a carnivore´s saliva, we can conclude that today´s humans have evolved, both biologically and chemically, to the point where they thrive on foods rich in carbohydrates (i.e., whole grains and cereals, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds). And, if this is true, then maybe it would be a good idea to re-think whether or not the ever popular low carb diet is actually good for our health. Case in point: The Standard American Diet (SAD), which is a low carb diet, is consumed in populations that have the highest incidence of chronic diseases (i.e., heart cancer, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, alzheimers). To expand on this…since the human tongue thrives on the taste of sweet, salty and fat (front of the tongue) and less on bitter and sour (back of the tongue), why are we so enamored about the taste of meat? Carnivores and omnivores usually eat raw meat. We humans don´t. We cook our meat. And yet, I don´t think most of us really enjoy plain boiled meat or chicken. It´s too bland. What we do enjoy, however, is our meat, when it´s fried (fat), salted or sweetened with sauces, spices and gravies. In other words, it´s not the meat itself that makes us salivate. It´s what we add to it that gives it that special taste. And, if it´s the big 3 (salt, sweet and fat) that entices our tongues, then isn´t it at all possible that by adding those same flavors to grains, cereals, vegetables, fruits and nuts, we could create extremely tasty meals. And that is exactly what happens!! The problem is that we´ve been programmed for so long that plant based foods cannot be tasty. When I order vegan food, on a flight, the stewardess almost always brings me this ridiculous plate of boiled and overcooked, insipid vegetables. All it takes is a little imagination and an understanding, on the part of any cook, that many of the same flavors that are used to give taste to meats can also be used with grains and vegetables. Often, people ask me, “What will I eat?” I tell them that, besides recipe books, there are literally thousands of wonderful vegan recipes on the internet (just write vegan recipes and “click”. In fact, if you write a list the ingredients you have in your cupboard, recipes using those specific ingredients will pop up on you screen. This is also the case with dairy which, just like meat, lacks carbohydrates. Milk, cheese, butter and ice cream are loaded, in distinct proportions, with fat, salt and sugar…among other added ingredients to stimulate our taste buds. That´s why we crave them. So, if you´re willing to accept the fact that we homo sapiens are designed for carbohydrates and that whole carbs are healthy for us, because they are our fountain of energy and our only source of fiber, anti-oxidants and phytonutrients… I guarantee that your taste buds will concur…and your body will reward you with optimal health.

Leinster and Ireland rugby star Johnny Sexton visited the pupils at Caherline national school | Picture: Dan Sheridan BOYS and girls in Caherline NS learned a valuable lesson on Monday – you reap what you sow in this life. Their thoughtful surprise for Fr Pat Currivan, who has served the parish of Caherconlish/Caherline for 41 years, was rewarded with a visit from Lions, Ireland and Leinster legend Johnny Sexton. He delivered a coaching masterclass to students as part of MACE’s Going the Extra Smile campaign. Caherline NS won the competition for doing what St Anthony couldn’t do – help Fr Currivan replace his missing All-Ireland minor medals. Principal of Caherline NS, Gearoid Power said it all began with a chat between himself, Fr Currivan and former principal Mike McCarthy in the staffroom in 2017. “Fr Currivan was telling us the story how he lost his two All-Ireland minor medals for Tipperary in 1952 and 1953. When he joined the priesthood he had to give up hurling. His mother sent him the medals with a lot of fruit but never told him. “When he got the bag the fruit was rotten so he threw the bag into the bin. A week later his mother rang him and asked him did he get the surprise. She said she put his two All-Ireland minor medals in to the bag. He said they were gone out with the rubbish,” said Mr Power, who was the then sixth class teacher. He and Mr McCarthy told the fifth and sixth class pupils the story and challenged them to do something about it. Like Johnny Sexton, they rose to the challenge. The boys and girls held a bake sale, raised money and found exact replicas of the medals. They asked JJ Keneally Jewellers to make the medals, sourced old team photos and put them all together in a frame. The children then presented it to Fr Currivan at a school Mass. “He was absolutely blown way. It was such a lovely thing that the kids did for him. Fr Currivan is an amazing man. It was wonderful of them to do such an act of kindness for him,” said Mr Power. In a story in the Leader in November 2017, Fr Currivan said: “It was a total surprise. I didn’t know a thing about it. I thought I was just saying Mass. They brought up the presentation at the beginning. I’d like to thank the children for their thoughtfulness.” Mr Power and Mr McCarthy spotted MACE’s Going the Extra Smile competition and put the children forward. Daniel O’Connell, MACE sales director, said Caherline NS were “deserving winners”. “MACE is determined to contribute positively to the communities they serve to lead a healthy, active lifestyle filled with acts of kindness and Johnny is also a great role model for young people in communities all over Ireland,” said Mr O’Connell. Mr Power said by dong something kind a lot of good can come out of it. “The children really saw that as they were rewarded with Johnny Sexton coming to the school. He is a superstar – the current World Rugby Player of the Year. It was great to have a player of Johnny’s stature pass on some nuggets to the students, especially as it can’t have been easy for him coming into a Munster rugby stronghold! The students had a wonderful day and I want to thank Johnny and MACE for making it happen. “It was an unbelievable experience for the school. It’s a day we will all remember for the rest of our lives,” said Mr Power See page 11 of Leader Sport for Johnny Sexton interview

After Vodafone, Three and O2 – two of the remaining major operators in the UK, T-Mobile and Orange, are joining the trend – yep, they launch the white version of Samsung Galaxy S II, too. Exact release dates are unknown at the moment, and all we have from T-Mobile is “September” and from Orange – “Coming Soon.” We are everything but surprised considering just how popular Sammy’s superphone is popular these days, with the Korean giant selling it in record numbers (it’s selling faster than its predecessor). If you don’t mind waiting – postpone your purchase for few additional weeks when you’ll be able to have not only one of the best smartphones announced to date (if not the best), but also its white version, which looks super sexy… gotta admit. 😉 As a reminder, the Galaxy S II comes with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera, HSPA+ and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, an array of sensors, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running show.

A child was accidentally gifted $40,000 worth of methamphetamine rather than LEGO bricks. In Bulloch County, Georgia, USA, three women went to a consignment shop, were unreturned mail was being sold. They purchased a box of LEGO bricks from the toy section, which they took home and gifted to a child. Rather than finding LEGO pieces within the box though, they found three pounds – around $40,000 worth – of methamphetamine. Statesboro Herald reports that the find was reported to Bulloch County law enforcement, with Sheriff’s Investigator Jim Riggs now looking into the matter with Drug Enforcement Agency agents. It is suspected that the package was mailed to an abandoned building, with the intention that the intended recipient would pick it up. In all likelihood though, the United States Postal Service would not deliver to a derelict building or similar address. The three women and South Carolina consignment shop were deemed to be unaware of the contents of the LEGO box, and therefore not charged or investigated. This story follows yesterday’s news that police seized THC in the shape of LEGO bricks in Canada.

I was a bit more productive in the posting this week, so there're a few more posts to highlight than last. Turnover early -- The US turned over power to the Iraqis earlier than expected. It's not a scoop, but I have a few thoughts in this and the follow-up post. They may look like wimps, but... -- I sing the praises of Torg, Dave, and Jason, my favorite characters in Sluggy Freelance, College Roomies from Hell!!!, and It's Walky! respectively. Some bad news -- It looks like my time as a Post-doc will be coming to an end earlier than expected. While disappointing, I'm not too worried yet. Science, reason, and faith -- I comment on posts at Evangelical Outpost and Letters from Babylon discussing the conflict between science and philosophy and that between faith and reason. A Phoenix in Darkness begins -- I've at last begun to publish this story. The first part is free. Spiderman 2 review -- My thoughts on the new Spiderman movie, with a few spoilers.

Traumatic Brain Injury - TBI and PTSD Many traumatic brain injury survivors suffer not only from the effects of the brain injury but also suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. Therefore, the trauma that causes the TBI also causes PTSD. Early on it was believed that trauma causing traumatic brain injury could not also cause post-traumatic stress disorder as it was believed that the types of amnesia that the traumatic brain injury can cause would preclude suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Studies now show that post-traumatic stress disorder can develop following mild traumatic brain injury and also following severe traumatic brain injury. - Difficulty sleeping - Sensory problems such as blurred vision, ringing in ears, sensitivity to light or sound - Memory or concentration problems - Mood swings - Depression or anxiety - Repeated memories of the life-threatening event - Flashbacks and reliving the event - Avoidance of people or places that are reminders of the event - Detachment from people - Shame about what happened - Survivor guilt Symptoms and differences: - TBI - Interruption in memory of what went on just before or just after the injury; problems with memory thereafter including problems with concentration and cognitive difficulties - PTSD - Being plagued and haunted by unwanted memories of what happened, causing the victim to relive the injury including having nightmares about it. - TBI - Sleep disorders are common after TBI including difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and interrupting normal sleep patterns. - PTSD - Terrible nightmares and flashbacks while sleeping causing the victim to wake up. - TBI - Due to the injury, loss of friends and co-workers leading to social isolation. - PTSD - Isolation is self imposed by the victim as it is too difficult to interact with people. - TBI - Emotional lability, mood swings - PTSD - Emotional numbness and emotional shutdown - TBI - Continuing fatigue due to the TBI - PTSD - The symptoms of PTSD make it difficult to get a full night sleep resulting in fatigue, feeling wrung out, temper shortened, frustration. - Depression and Anxiety - TBI - Depression and anxiety can result from TBI. - PTSD - Depression can result from PTSD however anxiety is much more severe and can cause feelings of extreme panic and stress. - TBI - Damage to the frontal lobes of the brain can cause volatile behavior. - PTSD - Physical aggression is increased with PTSD.

A heterosexual HR manager fired after writing an angry Facebook post against Target’s policy of allowing transgender individuals to use restrooms according to gender identity could not state a discrimination or retaliation claim, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled. The plaintiff began working in the Louisiana office of Plant-N-Power Services Inc. (PNP) in 2013 as PNP’s human resources manager. PNP merged with Industrial Service Solutions (ISS). On April 22, 2016, the plaintiff wrote on Facebook, “For all of you people that say you don’t care what bathroom it’s using, you’re full of s—!! Let this try to walk in the women’s bathroom while my daughters are in there!! #hellwillfreezeoverfirst.” The post was accompanied by a picture of a transgender individual shopping for a swimsuit in the women’s department at a Target in Baton Rouge, La. The plaintiff’s husband was tagged in the post. The plaintiff’s post was shared with her company’s president and vice president of Eastern operations. The vice president told the plaintiff that the president wanted to fire her immediately, and she had personally taken offense because the president was a member of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The next day, the vice president told the plaintiff that the president wanted to know for whom her husband worked in order to report the Facebook post to his employer. On April 24, 2016, the president texted the plaintiff and told her to be available for a phone conference the next day. The plaintiff sent a text message to the vice president saying she felt she was being discriminated against because she was heterosexual. The plaintiff participated in a conference call with the president and ISS corporate counsel and was informed that she had to take a sensitivity/diversity training course and could no longer recruit through social media. After the plaintiff made the post, the president refused to engage with her on a personal level. Several days later, the plaintiff was placed under the direct supervision of the president. On May 24, 2016, the plaintiff informed the vice president that she believed she was being harassed. The president was irate that the plaintiff had not yet attended sensitivity/diversity training and wanted to fire her immediately. At the end of May, the president allegedly issued new rules that applied only to the plaintiff and modified her schedule to conflict with her children’s schedules. Around June 8, 2016, the plaintiff told the company in writing that she was being subjected to discrimination and harassment and she planned on filing a formal complaint. The next week, the plaintiff was told that she would be working at the company for only one more week. On June 21, 2016, the president found out that the plaintiff was still employed and told the vice president that she was shutting down the plaintiff’s e-mail by noon. The plaintiff was then fired immediately for allegedly unsatisfactory job performance. The plaintiff filed a complaint against ISS, PNP, the vice president and the president alleging violations of multiple anti-discrimination laws, wrongful termination and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She amended her complaint to state discrimination and retaliation claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and various Louisiana statutes, including the Louisiana Constitution’s freedom of expression clause. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. The district court dismissed the claims on the grounds that Title VII does not prohibit sexual-orientation discrimination and that the plaintiff did not have viable retaliation or free-speech claims. The plaintiff appealed the dismissal to the 5th Circuit. The 5th Circuit confirmed that Title VII does not prohibit sexual-orientation discrimination based on its prior case law, despite other circuits’ recent decisions expanding Title VII’s protections. The Supreme Court is expected to resolve this split in authority in its upcoming term, which starts in October. O’Daniel v. Industrial Service Solutions, 5th Cir., No. 18-30136 (April 19, 2019). Professional Pointer: Employers face difficult choices when an employee posts angry or politically incorrect material online against a protected group. Nevertheless, decisions like those made in this case show that employers can often discipline employees when they do make such posts without incurring liability.

WASHINGTON ― After more than a year of stalling, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday pushed to extend health benefits for retired coal miners and their widows in a government funding bill lawmakers hope to take up this week. A bipartisan group of senators has pressured McConnell for months to bring legislation that would direct $3 billion over the next 10 years into health care and pension funds for miners. Roughly 17,000 retired miners are set to lose their health care benefits later this month, and an additional 4,000 would early next year without congressional action. McConnell said he urged House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to include a measure that would extend at least the health benefits for another four months ― the length of the continuing resolution (CR) Congress needs to vote on by Dec. 9 to keep the government open. “I’ve spoken with the speaker on a number of occasions about an issue facing coal miner retirees like those I represent in Kentucky,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “I have insisted that the CR include a provision to address that issue so these retirees don’t lose their health care benefits at the end of the year.” That isn’t good enough for a number of Senate Democrats and Republicans who first tried last year to force McConnell’s hand on legislation that would have protected the pensions, in addition to the health care benefits, for thousands of retired and disabled coal miners. McConnell didn’t budge then, nor when the same bipartisan group of senators tried to leverage their votes on a bill to help Puerto Rico restructure its billions of dollars in debt. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who says he is tired of waiting, vowed Tuesday to block any special requests to expedite other bills until action is taken to help the 120,000 miners. Supporters of the bill argue it’s time to follow through on the promise made by the federal government 70 years ago to protect the United Mine Workers’ health and pension benefits. “For several months, we have joined thousands of our states’ retired coal miners and their families to call for a vote on this bipartisan, paid-for bill,” Manchin said Tuesday. “And for several months those calls have gone unanswered. These miners cannot wait another day, and it’s up to us to protect what they’ve earned for a lifetime of dangerous, backbreaking work.” Manchin wants the full bill, the Miners Protection Act, included in the CR. But the text of the continuing resolution, which was unveiled later Tuesday night, only included the language pushed by McConnell ― providing $45 million for continued health benefits, preventing the loss of health coverage for thousands of miners and their families. “They’ve kind of given up on pensions, at least temporarily,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said. “We really should do something to help the miners. We think it should be a full five-year funding provision, and we got a number of Democratic senators who are going to hang very close on that always.” Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who will take Reid’s place as the minority leader next year, accused Republicans of opposing campaign promises made by President-elect Donald Trump to help coal miners. “Time and time again, the president-elect said he’d be a champion for coal miners and said he’d stop the war on coal,” Schumer said. “What do Republicans in Washington have to say about that? They tried to throw our coal miners a bone and merely extended their health care benefits by a couple of months.” Asked why the language provides financial support only for the health benefits, which along with the pensions are at risk of going insolvent as the coal industry battles bankruptcies, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) pointed to McConnell. “Sounds like a Mitch McConnell war on coal miners,” Durbin told reporters. Don Stewart, McConnell’s spokesman, shot back, pointing out that “originally there was no extension.” “How does preventing the loss of health care benefits on Dec. 31 constitute a war on coal miners?” Stewart said. “Sen. Durbin wants to block their health care?” Durbin wouldn’t say if Democrats would threaten a shutdown over the miner provision, noting that Republicans weren’t talking to them about the details of the continuing resolution. He added, though, that many Democrats feel that Manchin has been “patient to a fault” waiting for a vote to help the retired coal miners. “There’s always a risk when facing a deadline on Friday night,” Durbin said. Democrats aren’t alone. Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) joined Manchin and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) in voting against advancing a massive bipartisan medical research bill on Monday night over the health and pension benefits. “The pension and health benefits of thousands of retired coal miners in Ohio remain in jeopardy, and the Senate must act,” Portman said in a statement, adding that the full Miner’s Protection Act language should either be attached to the continuing resolution or another must-pass bill before Congress leaves for the year. Portman has not said if he will support the CR if the pension benefits are not included. When pressed about calls for the full bill to be voted on, McConnell stood by his initial recommendation to House Republicans. “What I support is... miners’ health care for the duration of the CR,” McConnell said. A recent Congressional Budget Office report found that the full Miners Protection Act would save the government money ― $74 million ― over the 10-year life of the bill if passed. It would be paid for by hiking customs fees on imported goods. “The Republican leader is turning his back on American coal miners,” Sen. Brown said in an emailed statement. “We had the chance to protect the retirement and health care coal miners have earned and save taxpayers money in the process, but Washington leaders chose to pull a bait and switch instead. This is everything that’s wrong with Washington.”

Fresh Cow Secrets - The last 14 days before calving and the first 21 days after calving is critical to the lactation success of any dairy operation. Helping cows to transition smoothly from the dry period into early lactation is an untold secret of many successful dairy operations. Because cows that successfully come through this challenging time will achieve higher productions, be better reproducers in the herd and will thus unlock the potential of improving the overall herd performance. But if these cows do not get the necessary attention and management they need they have a significant potential to become a loss for any dairy operation because of their fragile pre- and post-partum metabolisms and immune systems. As the pregnant cow approaches the end of the dry period, her nutritional requirements increase considerably. The fetus is growing more rapidly during this period than at any other point in gestation. The mammary gland is preparing for the ensuing lactation by increasing in size and starting to produce mammary gland secretions in the form of colostrum. However, at the same time, her dry matter intake (DMI) will decrease by 10% to 30% as she approaches parturition and is attributed to factors such as hormone fluctuations and the repositioning of the foetus. This can cause the cow to start to fall in a negative energy balance (NEB). With the onset of lactation after parturition, the cow’s NEB keeps on increasing as the amount of energy required for the body’s immune system, repair and increasing milk production exceeds the amount of energy the cow can obtain from her diet, especially when her DMI is still as low as 1.5% of her live bodyweight. As a result, the cow will start to utilize her body fat as a source of energy to try to close the energy gap and get her out of her NEB. However, there is a limit to the number of fatty acids that can be handled and used for energy by the liver. Thus, leaving the fresh cow in deep NEB and Ketonic stage. Because of the NEB the cow’s immune system is suppressed which makes her more susceptible to diseases such as mastitis, metritis, lameness, milk fever and ketosis after parturition. When a cow experience one or more subclinical or clinical diseases at a time, her DMI decreases further leaving her in a severe NEB, as she does not consume enough energy due to reduced dry matter intake, to support the active defence mechanism of the immune system. The energy used for body maintenance and milk production will then be channelled to the immune system as it is an instinct of the body to use its energy to first combat inflammation and infections before it will be used for maintenance and production purposes. In Graph 1, one can see how a pre-and post-Partum cow’s decrease in DMI correlates with her energy balance around the weeks before and after parturition. The very first thing that will come to mind is to solve the NEB in pre-partition and the fresh lactation stage by increasing the energy density of the diet, however, it will rather be to improve the dry matter intake of the cow. Here is a simple calculation to demonstrate it. For example, if a fresh cow producing 30 litres of milk receives a diet with a 1000 VEM/kg DM and she eats 21.8 kg/day DM she will consume 21 800 VEM/day. When her DMI decrease to 19.8 kg/day DM she will only consume 19800 VEM/day. Leaving a gap of 2000 VEM/day to be filled. To fill this gap the density of the diet needs to be increased with 101 VEM/kg DM, which means a 10% increase in the density to achieve the desired level and is almost impossible to achieve as it must be done solely from concentrate feeding. Increasing the density of the diet will however only treat the problem and not solve it and will also lead to an increase in feed costs. Therefore it is of the greatest importance to maintain/improve the DMI around parturition by feeding high quality, palatable forages, feeding smaller portions of the ration regular, cleaning the feed bunks regular, pushing up the feed for the cow and supplying the correct feed bunk space. Feed bunk space is accepted at 76 cm/head, however, during the transition a bunks space of up to 1m/head has substantial benefits when improving dry matter intake. Besides DMI two factors tend to be overlooked when it comes to transition cows around parturition namely separate groupings and stocking density. Grouping close-up and fresh cows separately from the herd creates the opportunity for herd managers to evaluate and inspect the whole group and cows individually. The advantage is that close-up cows and fresh cows that endure problems can be more easily identified, treated and monitored. More specific early fresh cows who tend to develop metritis, mastitis and lameness within the first two weeks after parturition. Stocking pens to only 80% of its capacity will reduce feed bunk competition and thus improve DMI, reduce social stress and ensure adequate lying space. Pens that supply a laying space of 36 m²/head and are well-bedded will encourage cows to lay down and rest which will improve her recovery time and prevent feet problems like lesions from developing. Dairies that tend to overstock their transition cow pens typically struggle with more health events during this period. If the fresh pen is overstocked during high calving periods, herd managers may need to reduce the number of days in the fresh pen for cows that are transitioning well. When moving a cow out of the fresh pen they must meet the following four criteria: 1. must be more than 21 days in milk; 2. must be healthy without any inflammation or infections; 3. must have a milk production above the group average; 4. must have good rumen fill. The transition period around parturition will always be an important and vulnerable period for the dairy cow. How well she transitions during this time play a very important role in determining her profitability for the dairy operation. Each litre increase she reaches more in her peak milk production is equal 200 litres of additional milk over her lactation but the downside can be that cows that do not transition well can cost the dairy operation up to 1800 litres of milk over her lactation or in worst cases be part of the 30% statistic of cows that leave a herd within the first 60 days of lactation. It is no secret any more giving transition cows around parturition the necessary management and attention contribute to the overall success of any dairy operation.

I’ve been reading Victoria Finlay’s Colour, and in her chapter on indigo she discusses how urine was used as the alkaline agent for fixing dyes across millennia and cultures: from ancient Pompeii to early 20th century Scottish islands. And then she casually tosses in the information that the best urine for dye vats comes from pre-pubescent boys. There is no exploration of this rather astonishing fact, no discussion of why or when it comes from, or what culture made the claim. Short of reading all her sources (some of which I’ve already read, the rest of which are already on my reading list), I can’t think of a way to explore or test the claim. I certainly can’t google it. My first though, as it often is, is “Ooh…I’ll look it up and see what google shakes out…” and then my mind contemplated the possibilities and quickly shut down. It would not end well. And then I realised that I already have a pretty awesome resource (and one that isn’t likely to result in the police showing up at my door if I ask “does the pee of prepubescent boys really make the best alkaline agent for dyeing?) at my fingertips: You, dear readers. So, has anyone else heard this? Know where it comes from? And, are there any readers with the sort of scientific or medical training who might know if there is anything chemically different in the urine of young boys which would make it better for dyeing? Is it more alkaline perhaps? Or is this probably some weird folk-myth that doesn’t have any possible basis? Or might it come from a culture that fed young boys different foods? Would this affect urine enough to make it better for dyeing? Some cultural health/body practices do have their basis in practical, realistic, facts, so I’m not completely writing little boy pee off as an essential ingredient of a beautifully blue cloak. Ancient Hawaii was one of many cultures that secluded women while they were having their periods, and forbade them from preparing food. While I don’t care for the dirty/punishment-from-God connotation that has sometimes come with the seclusion, on a practical level, it kinda makes sense. Many women are in pain and a bit grumpy and emotional at that time. There are certainly months where having my own private hut where I don’t have to deal with people and food gets brought to me seems like a good idea. One can imagine ancient cultures going through the logical process of “Hmmm….every month around this time when we ask for sandwiches instead of making them she throws all the sandwich making implements at us and then sits down and cries. Maybe we should tell her to take a few days off and go hang out in her own personal place…” and then after a few generations it becomes a socio-religious thing that women go off on their own at this time, whether or not they get caught by the emotional/crying/grumpy/sandwich-implement-hurling blues or not (because not all women do). So, could it be the same with the pee of pre-pubescent boys? Dyers? Doctors? Scientists? Anyone brave enough to look it up in google books (I’m scared to try even that)? UPDATE: There is tons of interesting information and useful links in the comments, plus some fascinating conjecture, but I do believe I have the answer. I discussed this with the medicos in one of my sewing classes (my sewing classes are full of nurses, doctors and digital artists) and they instantly said “Oh, you use boy pee because it is more hygienic.” Basically, thanks to their longer urethra, and the fact that it is less likely to touch other stuff as it comes out, male pee is less germy than girl pee, and thus, ironically, less smelly after time. Add that to the young boys having less contaminants than men, and it makes perfect sense that little boy pee would be the preferred urine for dyeing. They also took the opportunity to tell me that if I was ever desperate enough for moisture to need to drink pee, man-pee was a much better option than my own. As you can imagine, I am even more disinclined to try pee-dying than pee-dyeing.

Being Wiccan wasn’t something I considered growing up, but it’s the path that makes the most sense to me as an adult. The biggest reason for this is the fact that Wiccans, and pagans in general, strive to live what we believe. There is an emphasis on this path to live our lives with intention. This means understanding our faith, striving to continually add to our own knowledge and wisdom, and to apply what we have learned to our daily lives. Please don’t misunderstand and think I’m dismissing other religions. I have an immense respect for other faiths, one gained through study and interaction. Faith and religion offer a framework for understanding the divine, for understanding man’s place in the cosmos, and even for personal comportment. They can even provide a sense of community and belonging to its members. There is nothing wrong with this, but for me, the idea of everything in nature and life being sacred, being part of the divine, is the key. For me specifically, and for Wiccans and Pagans in general, everything around us contains the divine spark, so it’s steeped in meaning, history, and connection. Because I walk a path that honors the divine in everything and everyone, the very way I interact with the world around me is impacted in what I feel (and hope) is a very positive way. As a Wiccan, it’s essential to understand why I believe what I believe. The one piece of advice you’ll get from virtually every Wiccan source you’ll come across is to read extensively. There are “mysteries” everywhere but it’s not part of this path to blindly accept them. We are encouraged to find answers to all of the “why” questions that come up. Researching, studying, and learning about our path is part of our practice so that we truly understand the reasons behind doing what we’re doing. Whether you look on my desktop, bookshelves, bedside table, or even on my Kindle, you’ll find a variety of historical texts, contemporary texts, practical guides and so on. In fact, I even have texts from a variety of perspectives and paths because they open up perspectives I might not consider otherwise. One of the last aspects of Wicca that resonates with me is the emphasis on being present in everything that we do. When we live with intention, looking for the sacred in all things, it becomes essential to live in and appreciate the “moment.” Each evening, I step outside and revel in the New Mexico sunset, marveling at the colors and cloud formations as the sun sinks behind the buttes, mesas, and mountains that surround my little slice of heaven. The Wiccan and Pagan paths encourage us to observe the world around us, to truly see the changes brought by each season, to be in tune with nature, to honor our family and friends, and to be aware of each moment with gratitude. By honoring the divine in everything around me, truly understanding my faith, and learning to live in the moment, I’m able to not only see the connections between myself and the world around me, I’m able to nurture them. I’m able to live a life of intention, which is what I would wish for all of us, regardless of the path we walk.

Elliott Gould as Capt. “Trapper John” McIntyre, irreverent U.S. Army chest surgeon Korea, Summer 1951 Release Date: January 25, 1970 Director: Robert Altman Before there was Magnum, there was M*A*S*H, in which Elliott Gould set the “Gould standard” for effectively pairing a prolific mustache with an Aloha shirt. Robert Altman’s film was based on the then-recently published MASH: A Novel of Three Army Doctors by Richard Hooker, which would in turn be adapted into a long-running TV series that would last almost four times as long as the Korean War itself. While maverick Army doctor “Hawkeye” Pierce was arguably the central figure (and increasingly the show’s moral fiber, under Alan Alda’s creative direction), I was also fond of his cinematic sidekick, Captain “Trapper John” McIntyre as portrayed by Elliott Gould, born 82 years ago today on August 29, 1938.

I had half-n-half in my tea this morning, but no sugar. It was no different than Nutpods creamer in my tea. Of course, Nutpods is way more expensive, so I will only choose it if dairy ends up being a health stealer. I had a slice of cheddar cheese. Just by itself. Because cheese. I had a FANTASTIC lunch at Chipotle. Since they don’t have additives in any of their foods, it’s a pretty good place to eat. I had a salad with chicken, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheese. The dairy in that bowl was so decadent, and the sour cream and pico made a great dressing. And since I just drank water, it was less than $7 for the healthful, delicious meal. I stopped at the grocery store and got some sour cream, 2% milk, and some Chobani yogurt in tubes (like Gogurt). This morning, I read the Whole 30 email about Day 31. They said if you are choosing to reintroduce dairy, you will get some sugar in there with it – and that’s okay. But that feels confusing to me, so I’m not planning to do much of that. They said have yogurt in the morning, and a scoop of ice cream in the evening. So, I did buy some Greek yogurt, but Chobani has less sugar than most other yogurts, and I’ll just have a frozen tube of yogurt once a day this week. Also, the packaging is Wonder Woman’s logo, and I feel a lot like Wonder Woman lately, so… But, before my yogurt treat, my dinner also included dairy. Leftover steak, fingerling potatoes, sour cream, and strawberries. Thoughts on reintroducing dairy: It felt decadent to have creamy things. I have missed them, but I’m not craving them. If I had to live without dairy, it would be complicated, but I could totally do it. As far as my physical reaction to eating dairy today, I feel fine. Seriously, I’m not going write here every time I have a bit of gas – none of us need to share all that news with each other. But, I honestly feel well today eating dairy. My fingers feel the same. We’ll see how I sleep. And as I have said, I really think it will take a few days to see if my fingers feel swollen or my sleep is affected. I never did think I was lactose intolerant or had a dairy allergy, so I’m looking for more subtle reactions.

Here’s my latest progress with “Hammock View.” I’m leaving tomorrow for my long workshop with Archie Brennan and Susan Martin Maffei in Cannon Beach, Oregon. As always, my nerves are shot before a big trip. I’m going to spend the night with my sister tonight so that I’ll be a little closer to the airport in the morning. My peas are coming up in the back yard so I put some wire cages over the bed. Hopefully that will keep the rabbits from munching them. I think that ants stole most of my lettuce seed. I noticed that I disrupted a nest of them when I planted. Mushrooms in the front yard:

It’s the final week of the regular season and the MacNaughton Cup has yet to be decided. Did anyone expect anything different? For the third year in a row, Minnesota State is right in the mix for the WCHA’s regular season championship. The Mavericks lead the league by two points over Michigan Tech and Bowling Green. By late Saturday night, one, two or all three of those teams could be holding the claim on the cup. “It’s an exciting time in college hockey right now, playing at this time of the year,” Minnesota State coach Mike Hastings said. “It’s the final weekend of the season, and we have an opportunity to win a championship. That’s a goal we had at the beginning of the year. It’s an exciting opportunity.” It’s familiar ground for the 16th-ranked Mavericks. Two years ago, a tie at home to Michigan Tech on the final night of the regular season kept them one point shy of a share of the championship, which went to Ferris State. Last year, after losing the series opener at Bemidji State, the Mavericks won on the final day of the season to earn their first league title. This year, the Mavericks again control their own destiny. Without getting help around the league, they need three or more points to keep the MacNaughton in Mankato. Two points could mean a share but, potentially, the loss of a top seed for the conference tournament. “It’s typical WCHA,” Hastings said. “And it’s not just three teams. It’s the next group [for home ice] and then the next group [for the final playoff spot]. It’s tight from top to bottom. We’ve come to expect it to be that close.” The only thing that’s known for sure is that Alabama-Huntsville will be watching the playoffs from home. Minnesota State, meanwhile, is coming off two wins at Alaska-Anchorage. It was its first road sweep since winning twice at Bemidji on Oct. 23-24. Friday’s 3-0 victory snapped an eight-game road winless streak in conference play. “We needed to play better, and I thought we did,” Hastings said. “I’m happy with the way we played this weekend. If there’s one negative, it’s that our power play [0-for-9 against the Seawolves] needs to be better. And we’re going to play a team [Bemidji State] that’s as good of a penalty-killing team as there is.” Meanwhile, No. 13 Michigan Tech is clamoring to get the MacNaughton Cup back to its hometown of Houghton for the first time since 1976. The Huskies will play a home-and-home series against rival Northern Michigan, starting Friday in Houghton. The teams split their previous series in October, with each one winning at home. And Bowling Green, which travels to Alabama-Huntsville, is looking to win its first WCHA title. “There’s a regular season championship or at least a share of it still in the conversation for us,” Falcons coach Chris Bergeron said in an interview posted on the team’s website. “We want to look back and say we did everything we could do.” The Huskies and Falcons are certain to be big Bemidji State fans this weekend. “If it’s our time, then it will be our time,” Bergeron said. “We’ll get the help that we need around the league, and we’ll be WCHA regular season champions or co-champions.” Who’s No. 4? The race for the fourth and final home playoff spot comes down to Northern Michigan and Ferris State. The Wildcats hold the spot by one point and face that home-and-home series against Tech, while the Bulldogs are at home for two games against Lake Superior State. Ferris State suffered its first sweep of the season last week when it lost twice at Bowling Green and has lost four games in a row, including a single nonconference game a week earlier. Before the slump, the Bulldogs were on an eight-game unbeaten streak. Bemidji State could tie Northern Michigan in the standings with two wins at Minnesota State but would lose the tiebreakers for home ice. Governor’s Cup playoff Alaska and Alaska-Anchorage rarely play nice when the Governor’s Cup is on the line, even under normal circumstances. Expect the Seawolves and the Nanooks to get even less cordial this weekend in Fairbanks. With Anchorage in eighth place in the WCHA standings — two points ahead of ninth-place Fairbanks — this weekend’s series will serve as a playoff for the league’s eighth and final playoff spot. Although the Nanooks took three points when the teams met in Anchorage in November, they’ve won just once at home this calendar year. Still, the Governor’s Cup has remained in Fairbanks for six straight seasons, a fact that’s not lost on either team. “Since I’ve been here, we’ve managed to get all of [the seniors] their four [cups], so it would be nice to be able to do that for us this year,” Nanooks senior Josh Atkinson told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Even if they don’t get the Governor’s Cup, the Seawolves could get the bigger prize of keeping their season alive. Two points will get them in. “If you had a choice to have it in your hands or somebody else’s, you’d like it in your hands, head-to-head,” Seawolves forward Blake Tatchell told the Alaska Dispatch News. Michigan Tech senior forward Alex Petan has 26 points, including 15 goals, in conference play this season and leads the race for the WCHA’s scoring title. He is one point ahead of Northern Michigan’s Dominik Shine (12 goals and 13 assists) and Minnesota State’s Teddy Blueger (6, 19). They’re followed by Darren Nowick with 24 points (11, 13) and Ferris State’s Gerald Mayhew with 23 (8, 15). In overall games, Nowick and Blueger lead the league with 30 points. Shine and Mayhew both have 29, and Petan has 27. The WCHA’s goaltending champion goes to the player with the lowest GAA in conference play. That spot is held by Minnesota State’s Cole Huggins at 1.54. A Mavericks player has won the last three goaltending titles, with Huggins taking it as a freshman two seasons ago. Stephon Williams won it last year and two years before that. Next on this year’s list is Huggins’ teammate Jason Pawloski at 1.70, followed by Bowling Green’s Chris Nell at 1.82. • Bemidji State senior defensemen Graeme McCormack’s four-assist game on Saturday against Alabama-Huntsville was the most by a Beavers defenseman in the team’s Division I history. It was also the first time since Dec. 3, 2005, that any Bemidji State player did it. McCormack has 20 points on the season, including a WCHA-leading 14 power-play points. • Lake Superior State took three of four points from Upper Peninsula rival Northern Michigan last weekend, helping the Lakers win their first Cappo Cup series victory over the Wildcats since the 2012-13 season. The Lakers went 2-1-1 against Northern Michigan this year. And, thanks to Lake Superior State’s 3-1 win on Friday, they secured their second consecutive WCHA playoff berth. The Lakers will finish either sixth or seventh, depending on the outcome of this weekend’s games. • Michigan Tech goes into its home-and-home season finale against Northern Michigan with a solid 19-6-3 record against teams from Michigan in its last 28 games. • WCHA players of the week were Bowling Green sophomore forward Mitch McLain (offensive), Bemidji State senior defenseman McCormack (defensive) and Bowling Green freshman forward Stephen Baylis (rookie). • February’s WCHA player of the month was Northern Michigan junior forward Shine. The rookie of the month was Lake Superior State freshman forward Gage Torrel.

I appear to have discovered yet another thing that "should be possible in Pipedrive, but is not!". Like many salespeople, I frequently have to share information about my customers with my suppliers. Perhaps you do the same. I built an email template in PipeDrive that correctly pre-populates with all the appropriate fields that I want to share with a supplier/partner. Good so far. Then I manually change the to-email-address from the auto-generated customer-email to supplier-email... and presto! All the pre-populated data in the body of the email gets messed up. Darn! I reached out to TechSupport. Their paraphrased response: "Pipedrive facilitates communications to prospects and customers, but the integration with Nylas was not built for the use-case of communications with suppliers". Can anyone think of a way to build a template in PD, have the customer data in the template be complete, and send it to a supplier/partner? I am thinking I could create custom-fields that duplicate the personal information, but wow, what a pain that'd be! Thanks for your comments.

Two ships meet in the vast, empty abyss between stars. One is huge, if not massive. It is a “Millenial Ship,” a massive colony ship travelling from Earth to a new a star system. It left Earth almost 800 years ago, and it still isn’t even halfway to its destination. The second ship, while far from small, is a dot compared to the first. It is less than a decade old, and is a Cruiser. One of many sent in an attempt to find the Millenial Ship. There are dark secrets on the Millenial Ship. Dark enough on the surface, but even darker underneath. The Cruiser, her crew and her mission seem straightforward. But is their more to her depths as well? Were there other cruisers sent as well, or did Comman know the Millenial ship’s trajectory all along? And then there is the question of psykers. Both ships have them, but only one officially knows of them. What role, will they play? Are they merely just another character? Or are they really the director? I am planning on adding an excerpt as well, but for now I am 1,589 words in!

Antique 19th Century Mercury Glass Mirror with Gold Gilt Frame Stunning! Untouched for 200 years, this grand old portrait mirror offers a nice example of antique mercury glass. You can easily see the shimmering silver flecks in the layer behind the glass, and of course some oxidation has occurred over the years. The gleaming red-and-gold painted wooden frame is especially well preserved. Wood plank backing. Circa 1820. 34" H x 27" W x 2" D.
