Group B Streptococcus bacteriophages with broad clinical host range (#239)
Lucy L Furfaro 1 , Barbara J Chang 2 , Matthew S Payne 1
Medical School, Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia
School of Biomedical Sciences, The Marshall Centre for Infectious Diseases Research and Training, The University of Western Australia, Perth, WA, Australia
As a leading cause of sepsis in neonates, Streptococcus agalactiae or Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a significant obstetric pathogen. Numerous screening strategies have been implemented world-wide to identify mothers at risk of transmitting the organism to their newborn. Risk-based strategies and detection of GBS by culture screening all result in antibiotic administration. Although penicillin remains effective, resistance is inevitable and the impact of antibiotic administration on the maternal and neonatal microbiomes is not well-understood. An ideal treatment option would be one in which GBS are targeted in colonized women, with no effect on commensal organisms. Use of bacteriophage (phage) therapy, is one such option. Four phages (LF1 – LF4) were isolated from wastewater using standard enrichment techniques. All phages showed varied and broad ranging activity against clinical GBS isolates collected from pregnant women (colonising) and neonates (disease). Phages displayed lytic activity in vitro against antenatal GBS isolates with 73.3% of GBS isolates (n = 135) susceptible to at least one phage. LF2 and LF4 showed activity against all neonatal disease-causing isolates (n=10), while LF1 was also active against 90% of these isolates. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed all phages as members of the Siphoviridae family. Whole genome sequencing revealed genomes ranging from 32,205 – 44,768 bp. LF1 and LF4 share 99.9% nucleotide identity and are closely related to putative prophage of GBS. LF2 shows homology to a different putative prophage, although its genome organisation differs, while LF3 exhibits genome similarity to a Streptococcus pyogenes phage. The presence of genes required for lysogeny including integrase, repressor and regulatory modules suggests all are temperate phages, which are not typically used for phage therapy, however, the in vitro activity of these phages against a broad range of clinically important isolates is extremely promising and they may have therapeutic use as bioengineered phages or purified lysins.

Amid virus, Mississippi must set medical marijuana program
The Mississippi Department of Health has been working around the clock to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the agency will be responsible for starting a statewide medical marijuana program within the next nine months.
Uncertified election results show 74% of Mississippi voters approved the ballot measure that allows doctors to prescribe up to 5 ounces (142 grams) of marijuana per month for people who have at least one of more than 20 serious medical conditions.
“This vote shows minds are changing," said Jaqueline Temple Rudder, a homemaker from Madison County who lost her father-in-law to cancer and voted for Initiative 65. "We don’t want our sick suffering.”
Both Gov. Tate Reeves and state's top health officer, Dr. Thomas Dobbs, opposed the initiative. Reeves said passage would lead Mississippi to have the “most liberal weed rules” in the country - although it does not legalize recreational marijuana. Dobbs said it would distract health officials who are working furiously to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The constitutional amendment places the Mississippi Department of Health in charge of issuing medical marijuana identification cards and licensing treatment centers where patients will access marijuana for medical purposes. Officials will have until August to begin licensing treatment centers and certifying eligible patients.
Health Department said Wednesday that it is in the “planning stages and reviewing various elements important to creating a successful marijuana program.”
“The Agency will do its best to manage both major (COVID) endeavors,” spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said.
Initiative 65 places specific guidelines into the state constitution for how the medical marijuana program will be run.
Appointments for certification must be done in-person with licensed physicians; treatment cards for patients, which can cost no more than $50, are valid for up to 12 months; medical marijuana can be prescribed for shorter periods or renewed for longer based on physicians' recommendations. Minors can be prescribed marijuana with the consent of a parent or guardian.
The Health Department will not be able to limit the number of treatment centers or set the price of medical marijuana. Treatment centers will be allowed where other commercial businesses are allowed, although not within 500 feet (152.4 meters) of a school, day care or church.
Marijuana sales can be taxed up to the state tax rate of 7%. Proceeds from medical marijuana will go toward funding the program.
Before July 1, the Health Department needs to finalize regulations on advertising, procedures for tracking and labeling marijuana at treatment centers and use of medical marijuana in nursing homes.
Voters chose Initiative 65 over a similar but more restrictive measure designed by lawmakers. Alternative 65A would have left tax rates, possession limits and certain other details to the Legislature and had no start date.
Mary Collins Harwell of Jackson said she supported Initiative 65 because her 13-year-old son has severe autism and cerebral palsy and lives with intense pain that hasn't responded to other treatment.
“Unless you are put in a position in your life where you or somebody you love needs it, you just don't think of marijuana as something that is going to help,” Harwell said. “You think about people sitting around smoking joints. That's not what we're talking about.”
Angie Calhoun of Puckett said her son suffers from chronic conditions such as focal seizures, severe joint pain and nausea. He tried 17 prescriptions before moving to Colorado to try medical marijuana, which finally helped him.
Now, Calhoun’s son can come home to Mississippi.
“My son doesn't have to be a medical refugee any longer," she said. “This vote shows that most Mississippians, like us, want help for our sick patients with something that's natural and safe.”

Rage and Entitlement in Borderline Personality Disorder
11 Jan 2020 adminLeave a comment
Throughout a recent consultation, Jay, a youthful mental health worker in an in-patient facility, requested for advice regarding how to deal with a borderline personality disorder patient who had been battling with problems with rage and a feeling of entitlement. He posted a lengthy written description, reporting that his use this patient was “being a nightmare.” Among other problematic behaviors, Jay reported that his patient cuts herself, threatens suicide, hits her peers, urinates on the ground and screams at surface of her lung area when she doesn’t get her way.
She clearly includes a strong feeling of entitlement, that is sign of borderline personality disorder. Jay highlighted this issue with another example: one evening she purchased cereal on her breakfast the very next day, then automobile up and required oatmeal and bananas rather. When nobody complied, she overturned a couple of chairs, put her tray in the kitchen staff, after which threatened to kill herself and burn the area lower. The temper outburst lasted three hrs. As she was completely unreachable, she was eventually put into restraints and medicated.
Jay complains that “empathy doesn’t work, group therapy, one-on-one, drawing, meditating, bribery” — nothing works. Also, he describes her extreme swings in emotion, particularly in her relationship to Jay. “She hates me eventually and can’t do without me the following.” She’s no limitations and doesn’t respect Jay’s. His fellow staff people “are tired of her.” Because he is easily the most junior member around the ward, he’s regrettably “stuck” together with her.” He feels so angry and demoralized by his use this patient that’s thinking about a career move.
Jay’s description dramatically illustrates the emotional challenge of dealing with somebody that is affected with borderline personality disorder. His reactions aren’t unusual I’ve felt much the same ways during sessions with my very own clients. His account also jogs my memory of other such tales I have heard, concerning the way borderline personality disorder patients affect their ward staff. They’re highly provocative and evocative they inspire feelings of hostility and bitterness. They create you need to quit the profession.
To be able to help someone such as this youthful lady, you initially need to get obvious around the distinction between empathy and sympathy. Jay claims that “empathy doesn’t work,” however i doubt he or other people around the employees are truly empathizing together with her… a minimum of they are unaware that they’re. She fills them (via projection) with all of her very own intolerable feelings of rage and anger the way in which she treats her caretakers evokes exactly the same feelings within them that she’s battling with. Jay states her behaviors make his “bloodstream boil” — this is where the empathy is available in. However ,, typically, we mental health care professionals believe it’s inappropriate to possess such feelings, so when we are made to admit that people will have them, you want to blame the individual.

Health care facilities shall ensure that these risks are minimized to protect their environmental service workers and allow them to 229 perform their work in an optimal and safe environment purchase innopran xl cheap online prehypertension weight loss. To minimize the risk of infection in both environmental service workers and clients/patients/residents purchase innopran xl overnight hypertension yoga exercises, environmental service workers shall be: 79 purchase 80 mg innopran xl amex blood pressure zap nerves,219,220,229,304 ? Provided with infection prevention and control education and training. In addition, environmental service workers should be aware of: ? Work restrictions including the need to avoid working in client/patient/resident areas when ill 31,243,305 with a known or suspected communicable infection. Non-infectious occupational risks shall also be minimized and environmental service workers shall have access to and training in the use of the personal protective equipment required when preparing, 8,219,220 handling or using chemical cleaning agents. Strategies should also be in place to reduce the risk of 219,220,229,296,304 injury due to ergonomic or other workplace hazards. Environmental service workers 219 shall be included in facility policies of staff immunization, and must be offered appropriate immunizations based on the Ontario Hospital Association/Ontario Medical Association�s Communicable Diseases Surveillance Protocols and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization 219,229,306-309 recommendations for health care providers. Contracts with supplying agencies should include the above immunizations for contracted staff. Examples of these policies and procedures include: 31,218,219 ? A sharps injury prevention program. Staff members carrying on activities in a health care setting who develop a communicable disease may be 243 subject to work restrictions. Exposures occur most commonly via inhalation 145 (respiratory) or direct skin contact. Over time, 151,317,321 without adequate controls, a sensitizer may cause asthma or chronic bronchitis. Respiratory symptoms increase in direct proportion to increased exposure time and higher concentrations of certain 317 chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia. Certain tasks, such as cleaning of toilet bowls, mirrors, sinks, and counter, as well as floor finishing tasks, regularly expose individuals to high concentrations of 145 volatile organic compounds. Irritants in health care settings associated with skin symptoms (irritant contact dermatitis) include water, soaps and detergents, most frequently in those who have underlying atopic dermatitis (allergy, eczema). A smaller number of people will develop allergic contact dermatitis where a particular allergen can cause an inflammatory response, usually hours to days later, which clinically may appear similar to irritant contact dermatitis. It is important that any health care provider who has a significant allergic, asthmatic, or dermatitis history, or who develops symptoms that may be related to work exposures, be assessed by occupational 322 health and safety. Exposure to workplace chemicals may be reduced through the use of engineering controls (e. Caution should be taken when cleaning and disinfection is performed in small and/or poorly ventilated spaces to reduce the risk of irritation to exposed skin and respiratory tract, and to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded. Facilities should periodically conduct an occupational hazards assessment with respect to cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and equipment. The assessment should evaluate risks, and ensure that the safest cleaning agents, equipment and processes are selected; that appropriate training and access to personal protective equipment are in place; and that staff are aware of protocols to be 318 followed in the event of accidents, exposures or injuries. The use of automated dispensing systems or ready-to-use products is preferred over manual dilution and mixing, as automated systems reduce direct personal contact with concentrated products and reduce inhalation of volatile organic compounds from concentrated products. Automated systems also ensure that correct dilution ratios are obtained and eliminate the need for decanting. Applications of cleaning chemicals by aerosol or trigger sprays may cause eye injuries or induce or 141,144,222,317,323-331 compound respiratory problems or illness and must not be used. Repetitive movements, awkward work postures, heavy lifting, and application of high forces (e. Products that are lighter in weight, easily emptied and having proper handle length help reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, a variety of handle lengths should be available to ensure that differently sized cleaning staff have access 222 to appropriate ergonomically designed equipment. For more information about ergonomic design related to environmental cleaning, visit the Public Services Health & Safety Association website. There shall be policies and procedures in place that include a sharps injury prevention program, post-exposure prophylaxis and follow-up, and a respiratory protection program for staff who may be required to enter an airborne infection isolation room accommodating a patient with tuberculosis. There must be appropriate attendance management policies in place that establish a clear expectation that staff members do not come into work when acutely ill with a probable infection or symptoms of an infection. There must be procedures for the evaluation of staff members who experience sensitivity or irritancy to chemicals. Environmental Cleaning for Specialized Areas In this section, guidance is provided regarding cleaning and upkeep of specific facility areas including the cleaning of clean and soiled utility rooms, the upkeep of environmental cleaning equipment and supply rooms (i.
The keto group at C-2 reacts with the hydroxyl group at C5 and form a ring structure best 80mg innopran xl blood pressure when to go to er. This gives an asymmetrical molecule of five carbon atoms in a ring and 1 carbon atom outside of the ring buy 80 mg innopran xl overnight delivery blood pressure medication on empty stomach. Glucose is taken up in the small intestine and is transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein purchase innopran xl 80 mg otc wide pulse pressure young. And when there is too little glucose in the blood, this glycogen is broken down again into glucose. The use of glucose as energy happens in the metabolic processes: Glycolysis and Citric acid cycle. Fructose Fructose, is found in high concentrations in fruits and is a constituent of honey. This gives a symmetric molecule of four carbon atoms in one ring and two carbon atoms at both sides of the ring. Galactose Galactose is also a sugar with six carbon atoms with a somewhat different structure as glucose. Ribose can be produced by the body in the metabolic process the pentose cycle, in the form of ribose-5-phosphate. Disaccharides When two cyclic monosaccharides (acetal bonding) are coupled by means of a glucoside bonding a disaccharides arises. Disaccharides are commonly present in nature and form important components of foods. Disaccharides are also important in the formation of polysaccharides and monosaccharides. The organic chemical name is Alpha-DGlucopyranosyl-(1->2)-Beta-D-fructofuranoside. During the digestion, saccharose is broken down by the enzyme invertase in glucose and fructose. This enzyme is produced in the small intestine where the breakdown of sucrose occurs. The known sugar from the daily life consists of saccharose, just as powdered sugar and sugar syrup. The word alpha, in the name of the alpha 1,4 bond between the two glucose units, indicate that the two units are in a straight area. The numbers 1,4 indicate that the bond is present between the carbon atoms 1 and 4. The organic chemical name is Beta-DGalactopyranosyl-(1->4)-Alpha-D-Glucopyranose. The word Beta , in the name of the bond between the two monosaccharides units, indicates that the two units are not in a straight area, they are slant on each other. Lactose intolerance Lactose is broken down in the digestion to galactose and glucose by the enzyme lactase. In contrast to children, there is a large group of adults in the world that can not produce the enzyme lactase. After drinking milk, lactose accumulates in the lumen of the intestine because there is no mechanism to take up this disaccharide. Lactose intolerance is a genetic variation that mostly presents itself in adolescent or in adult life. Lactose intolerance is prevalent in 3% of Danish people, and in 97 % of Thai people. The ability of people to break down lactose also in maturity appears to have been developed since people started to domesticate cow cattle. Polysaccharides Polymers are biomolecules composed of units in which we can recognize the monosaccharides. Natural textile fibre such as linen (flax), cotton and viscose (artificial silk) consist of cellulose. Humans do not have an enzyme that is able to break down the beta bonds in cellulose. Cellulose and other indigestible compounds form the dietary fiber, which are important in our digestive system. In this form, there are branchings in the form of alpha-1,6-bonds that occur once every thirty units. Starch is broken down in individual glucose units by the action of the enzyme amylase.

When this signal occurs across a nerve synapse purchase 40mg innopran xl with mastercard quercetin and blood pressure medication, it must be communicated along the axon�sometimes a matter of many meters! Inasmuch as the incoming signal is very weak buy innopran xl cheap arrhythmia babys heartbeat, in electrical terms innopran xl 40mg with mastercard pulse pressure congestive heart failure, "flow" along the axon surface must, in some manner, be self-propagated by the axon membrane itself. That is, the response of the nerve cell to a few molecules of an arriving synaptic 162 transmitter is a phenomenon that requires that the nerve cell, by its own mechanisms, engage in such activity as will seem to "conduct" a signal to its other end where, again, transmitter is to be released. In this sense "conduction" is not a passive event; the response of the nerve cell is to engage in a large-scale activity that, for it, is quite analogous to muscular contraction or secretion that may be stimulated by transmitter substances arriving at other end organs. That the axonal impulse represents a chemical wave of conduction has long been known since it is accompanied by increased heat production and 02 consumption and even greater increases during the recovery period after the impulse has passed. Particularly in the central nervous system, a given nerve cell may synapse with a very large number of other nerve cells. When one or more of the latter transmits an excitatory signal of sufficient magnitude, the recipient cell is prompted to "fire. In no case is the mechanism of inhibition completely clear, but the decision to fire or not to fire is, in some manner, an integration of the sum of such events. For a given nerve cell, the size of the single impulse is the same, but as many as 500 impulses/s may be transmitted. Such impulses may be conducted in medullated nerve at a speed of 100 m/s or almost one-third the speed of sound in air. The principal mechanism underlying the behavior of most or all excitatory cells is a modification of the mechanism whereby all cells maintain the differ+ + ential concentration of K and Na across their membranes. Initiation of a nervous impulse, or of muscular contraction, consists of initiation of a local + membrane disturbance that causes permeability to Na to increase about 500 + + times more rapidly than for K ; thus Na ions cross the cell membrane in a small localized area. The normal transmembranal potential results from the differential + + + distribution of Na and K. It is this disturbance that sets off subsequent propagating events along an axon or the wave of excitation along a muscle cell membrane. Aspects of the chemical nature and functions of established transmitters and inhibitors are presented later. A potential of 60 to 75 mV exists between the inside of the axon and the surrounding medium. This polarization derives from the + fact that the [K ] inside the cell is fifteen to thirty times that in extracellular fluid + whereas for [Na ]this relationship is reversed. During activity, a wave of negativity sweeps along the fiber and the polarity is temporarily reversed. There follows a refractory period when no impulse may be + + carried while the Na -K relationships are restored; as a depolarized point 163 becomes negative to the adjacent area, a local current ensues and these events are repeated, thus propagating the original impulse. Nachmansohn proposed that acetylcholine (AcCh) participates in the series of + + events that result in permeability changes of the membranes to Na and K. The hypothesis proposes that in resting condition AcCh is bound in a storage form and is released on "excitation. Thus, per molecule of AcCh released, there may be transmembranal movement of thousands of cations, resulting in a large amplification of the original impulse. The ion movements initiate a new circuit by stimulating the adjacent points; repetition of these events is assumed to be the mechanism for propagating the impulse along the axon. Restoration of the resting condition takes place by the hydrolytic action of AcCh esterase to produce acetate and choline. AcCh is resynthesized by choline acetyl transferase and is again stored in inactive form. Acetyl CoA + choline � > acetylcholine + CoA Support for the theory comes from the finding that AcCh esterase and acetylase are present in adequate quantities in the axons of all neurons, regardless of the transsynaptic transmitter used, and that the esterase is uniformly distributed in the excitable membrane of the electroplax of the electric eel. The AcCh receptor protein has been isolated from such electric tissue by the use of snake venom neurotoxins, e. These protein toxins bind specifically to the receptor protein but not to the esterase. In several tissues, the number of esterase catalytic sites is approximately equal to the number of receptor sites although the proteins are distinct. However, AcCh receptors are present in all postsynaptic membranes of cholinergic nerves and these receptors also bind the toxins (see below).

I’ve added promotional photos, episodes stills, and HD screencaps of Bethany as Haley James Scott in season 5 of One Tree Hill.
Four years after high school; Karen is travelling the world with her daughter, Lily and boyfriend, Andy. Lucas has a new girlfriend, Lindsey, and a best-selling book. Brooke’s fashion line has taken off, but she still feels like her life is missing something. Haley has become a teacher at Tree Hill high. Nathan is in a wheelchair after a bar accident, and has to deal with recuperating and a future that possibly has no basketball in it. Peyton’s career didn’t take off in L.A., and she returns to Tree Hill still mourning the end of her relationship with Lucas. Dan is released from jail and is hoping for forgiveness. Deb becomes Jamie’s nanny after the previous one kidnapped him and tried to steal Nathan. Mouth begins a new relationship with Brooke’s assistant Millicent and tries to become successful in the sports reporting world.
This season focuses on the final half of senior year at Tree Hill High School. Nathan and Haley find out that they are going to have a baby. Lucas starts writing a novel, while also questioning what really happened on the day of the school shooting. Nathan gets involved with some shady characters after he and Haley start having money problems. Peyton finds out she has a brother, but he may not be who he says he is. Brooke becomes friends with Rachel and starts a relationship with newcomer Chase. Dan tries to get close to Karen and help her with Keith’s baby.
Happy New Year!!! I’ve added promotional photos, episodes stills, and HD screencaps of Bethany as Haley James Scott in season 3 of One Tree Hill. Sorry that updates were slow last year. I will work on catching things up over the next few weeks.
This season focuses on the first half of senior year at Tree Hill High School. Starting three months after the second season finale, Haley returns to Tree Hill and tries to save her marriage with Nathan. Peyton gets to know her birth mother. Lucas and Brooke begin a relationship. Keith and Karen get engaged. Nathan patches things up with Lucas, while Mouth begins a complicated relationship with newcomer Rachel, who also spreads a lot of drama through the core characters. After a shooting at the school things between Lucas and Peyton heat up despite Peyton’s proposal to Jake.
I’ve added promotional photos, episodes stills, and HD screencaps of Joy as Haley James Scott in season 2 of One Tree Hill.
Aside from their love for hoops, Lucas and Nathan seemed to have little in common. But the two young men are bound by the fact that they share the same father. As Nathan is increasingly brought into the world Lucas knew before he joined the high school team, the two boys begin acting like brothers, not enemies, for the first time. Years in the making, a deep and bitter conflict had slowly unfolded as the two boys struggled to come to terms with a father who chose to live vicariously through one son while ignoring the existence of the other. Now, Nathan and Lucas have formed a unique bond based on mutual resentment of their father. Meanwhile, the girls of Tree Hill explore their own interests beyond romantic entanglements.

‘A most agreeable and enjoyable day’
As part of our 150th we have been partnering with a number of organizations and they are joining in with our celebrations
Recently I have had emails from Tony at the Glamorgan Archives who has penned a number of articles for their website based on our archive materials
https://glamarchives.gov.uk/2017/09/12/fossil-ferns-reedalso-antique-silver-ring-specimen-white-rock-founding-cardiff-naturalists-society-september-1867/
https://glamarchives.wordpress.com/2017/10/05/carry-on-up-the-nile-the-first-public-lecture-programme-launched-by-the-cardiff-naturalists-society-27-november-1873/
https://glamarchives.wordpress.com/2017/10/12/a-most-agreeable-and-enjoyable-day-the-cardiff-naturalists-societys-field-trip-to-tintern-abbey-june-1873/
I don't have any pictures from 1873, but that trip was led by a geologist so I hope you enjoy these geologists eye view of the Abbey with some pictures taken when Rhian and I had a day out there
These views show a range of building stones used at different places in the Abbey, and the impact that weathering has had on many of these stones. Many of the stones were not intended to be out in the weather because the structure would have had a roof, however some were clearly laid in different angles and you can see how water has got into the layers of rock and differentially weathered some of the layers

Gall Ink: from Aleppo to Lindisfarne
by Bruce McDonald
The use of Oak galls in the production of Gall Ink is well documented. What is less clear, particularly as far as Britain is concerned, is where the galls came from. A widespread assumption that they were simply collected from the local countryside appears untenable. Likely sources are suggested here but further research is needed to fill in the gaps and address outstanding questions.
Galls have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years in the production of gall ink and used on documents such as The Lindisfarne Gospels, Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. Gall Ink required tannin and galls were the source of that tannin in most cases. It follows that the higher the tannin content, the better. Numerous sources describe how gall ink was and can still be made.
OAK APPLE v. MARBLE GALL.
The first area of confusion is between the Oak Apple (Biorhiza pallida) and the Marble Gall (Andricus kollari). Photos of both are shown below. The Oak apple is quite large (up to 5 cm), but irregular, soft and spongy. The Marble Gall is smaller (up to 2 cm) and harder. Possibly because the Oak apple is more commonly known as a name (e.g. Oak apple Day) and the Marble Gall is common in the countryside, the two can often get mixed up. For example John Wright's 'A Natural History of the Hedgerow' (1) includes a photo (p. 208) of what is almost certainly a Marble Gall but is entitled the Oak apple gall. Stewart Wild (Stephens Collection) (2) gives a perfect description of a Marble gall - 'mainly dark tannin and resembles a Malteser' but refers to it as an Oak apple.
The Oak apple gall has been around for some time in the British countryside and was (and still is) included in Oak apple Day celebrations which had its origins in festivities linked to the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
Oak apple gall
Marble Gall
Articles on gall ink usually show the Marble Gall as a constituent. The Tudor Merchants House in Tenby has a small display on gall ink and includes some Marble galls. The Woodland Trust ran a gall ink project in 2017 again featuring the Marble Gall. With the Marble Gall very common and widespread in the countryside many jump to the conclusion that they would have been easily collected in the surrounding area in earlier times.
However, this assumption does not take account of the fact that the Marble Gall would not have appeared in Britain until the 19th century. This is because the gall-causing insect has a two-part life cycle and one of these requires the presence of the Turkey Oak which was only introduced in 1735. The gall wasp was not introduced until the 1830s in Devon as a source of tannin so the Marble gall would not have been widespread for some time.
TANNIN CONTENT
Even when they did arrive the British marble galls would have had a relatively low tannin content, probably around 17%. In contrast the Aleppo Gall from the Middle East had at least three times this level (see Cecidology article by Leach). Some estimates put it as high as 75%. Oak apples have less than 5%. John Hill (1751) (3) contrasts the European and Aleppo galls commenting that the former are 'of much less value ... both in manufactures and in medicine'. He also states the 'Oriental' galls are 'brought from Aleppo'. This suggests that a source, if not the principal one, is the import of Aleppo galls. Support for this can be found in a variety of records. Leach (4) notes that as late as 1861 some 800 tons of Aleppo Galls were still being imported annually into the UK. Briggs (4) finds the volume as 50,000 cwt (2,500 ton) in 1880.
Could the monks on Lindisfarne have been using imported Aleppo galls? Further research might confirm or refute this but it does seem plausible. Redfern (5) reports that Aleppo galls were a 'common article of trade' for the Egyptians in the 5th and 4th centuries BC as well as the Greek in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. Pliny (1st century AD) suggests that for black dyes there was no substitute for the Aleppo Gall. Redfern again - 'Aleppo galls were exported all over Europe' ... ' Large quantities from the Mediterranean arrived in London'. Some of these were exported on to America which, although it had its own sources of galls, did not appear to use them for dyeing or ink-making. By 1914 the US was importing some $17,174 of Aleppo galls from Baghdad.
Before the 19th century there were no local sources of galls that could have provided sufficient tannin to make Gall ink effectively in Britain. Even when the Marble Gall began to appear in the 19th century it was nothing like as productive as the Aleppo gall. With evidence for the trade in Aleppo galls dating back some 2,500 years it seems reasonable to assume that they were the source of the ink used in the Lindisfarne Gospels, Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence. Hopefully further research will provide additional data on the trade in Aleppo galls.

Presidential Games...
No this is not a reference to any goings on in the US at the moment, It's more a comment about how much fun I have been having reading about and learning about the people who preceded me as President of the Cardiff Naturalists' (something I still consider to have been a great honour after many years)
I know I am reading about Victorian times and the way people looked at and thought about things was very different and you have to consider that some of t...he people who were appealing for great things to be done were also employers who expected hard work in unpleasant conditions. However to see amongst the former presidents the people who campaigned for things like the Free Library, Miners benevolent funds and for the establishment of many of the great institutions of the city I think shows people of vision
The list of pages with information about former presidents is growing at http://cardiffnaturalists.org.uk/htmfiles/150th-08.htm and I hope that some of the current members find this of interest.

An Evening with Iolo Williams - Pictures from the evening
It was a SELL OUT ! and we had a wonderful time!
Even before the event it was clear that Iolo was a success with the crowd and he happily spent so much time having his picture taken that we had to ask some people to go directly in
And it wasn't just the public who wanted a picture he made sure that the Museum warding staff felt welcome to pose for a picture
Once we did manage to get everyone to their seats, our president Chris Franks made the introductions and welcomed everyone to the event
It wasn't long before Iolo was entertaining us all with his tales of learning to tickle fish in his younger years
His explanations of how he had worked with the Gurka's and SAS on the protection of wild bird nests during his 15 years with the RSPB had the whole audience in raptures.
And his tales of working with the television crews on many programs including springwatch (team in the background) were fascinating
Questions and Answers would have probably gone on all night had we permitted it !
but we had to bring things to a close with the drawing of our prize raffle (winner Judith Bradley collecting the first prize from Iolo)
After that we went into the main hall for the private reception for members.
Sorry if you have recently joined - we would have loved to have everyone through for that for everyone and new members included, but it would have been cost prohibitive and we had to make that a member offer before the general ticket sales started
We did manage to get this picture of former and current presidents with Iolo.
From left to Right : - Steve Howe, Joan Andrews, Andy Kendall, Thomas Henry Thomas (statue of the 16th president created for the museum Dinosaur Babies exhibition), Linda Nottage, Iolo Williams, Patricia Wood, Chris Franks)

About CHI
Fieldschool
by timbseli | Oct 7, 2013 | CHI Fellowship Program | 0 comments
One of the difficulties of being a historian of South Africa living in East Lansing (or really being a historian of any foreign place) is that, for most of the year, I am over 8,000 miles away from my subject matter. This is not to say that I do not have valuable resources at my disposal here; thankfully, I do have access to an impressive number of archival materials thanks to the stellar collections available through the MSU Library and MATRIX. However, for someone who centers their work on the testimonies and perspectives of South Africans, this distance becomes difficult. Recently, however, I have begun to consider the potential of digital platforms (particularly blogging and social media) to bridge this gap.
Over the past couple of months, I have contributed a few blog posts to my favorite fútbol blog, Football is Coming Home. In “Fandom, Mzansi-Style,” I reflected on my understandings of the dynamics of soccer fandom in South Africa, particularly the ways in which South African fans preferred European teams to their own national teams. Since I am new to the literature on soccer in South Africa, this was basically a think piece for me, but the responses that I received, in the form of comments both from South Africans and other soccer scholars, really gave some great insights into the multiple dynamics at play. Take, for example, this comment from Thabo Dladla, founder and head coach of the Izichwe Football Club in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
This is the reality of South African situation presently. There are very few young people that support our football. In the near future PSL will not have fans watching football on television. South African football needs to change and start realizing that the future both in the field and outside the field is dependent on today’s young people. You treat them well and take care of their footballing needs, they will stay part of local football. The opposite is also true. Unzima Lomthwalo!
This comment and others that contributed their perspectives really contributed to my broader understandings of the issue of multiple loyalties in South African sport. This has made me consider the possibility of using more blogs of this nature to get input from people on the ground in my research sites, especially in terms of how I can integrate a synergistic element into my project for CHI.
Similarly, Twitter and Facebook also represent potential “research sites” for the scholar abroad who is attempting to remain abreast of the latest developments in their field. I depend on Twitter as a means through which to stay in contact with prominent scholars, as well as to keep track of which topics people are talking about (read: the things people care about). As we move further and further into our increasingly digital world, remaining open-minded about the types of sources that we can use in research. Take, for example, Mark Hunter’s Love in the Time of AIDS in which Hunter explores the dynamics of love in a South African township through SMS messages. Scholars need to consider the potential of these new textual sources, not only in terms of the new perspectives they can provide, but also in bridging the (very large) gap between the foreign researcher and their distant subjects.

CBI News Wrap: Coronavirus Updates, Short-Video Moves
“Enter the Fat Dragon” is the second major studio film to go straight to streaming
News From China
The closure of a growing number of public venues as a result of the coronavirus outbreak have left television and the internet as the main entertainment outlets for many Chinese who have been on extended vacation. While the grim circumstances would seem to offer an opportunity to grow audiences, there’s a delicate balance involved amid the heightened scrutiny of content from authorities. Satellite networks have been ordered to increase their reporting of virus control efforts while cutting back on entertainment programs. Broadcasts of several variety shows scheduled during the Spring Festival have been cancelled, including Hunan TV’s hit celebrity talent show “Happy Camp” (快乐大本营) and Zhejiang TV’s star-studded game show “Trump Card” (王牌对王牌, aka “Ace vs. Ace”). And while the order doesn’t directly cover video streaming services, they may also feel the pressure to downplay new offerings. Actors Dilraba and Vengo Gao have faced criticism for using Weibo to promote Tencent Video’s fantasy drama “Eternal Love of Dream” (三生三世枕上书), a much-anticipated sequel to a 2017 series. “Under the Power” (锦衣之下) another major IP production, has taken a lower-key approach to publicity by posting only short teasers and behind-the-scenes clips.
Among online platforms, more short video apps are gaining traction. While Bytedance’s Douyin leads the market with its 400 million daily active users, Xigua Video (also owned by Bytedance), Tencent’s Weishi, Kuaishou and its Fast Edition have surged to the top of app store downloads, thanks in part to creative user content showing how housebound citizens are are spending their extended vacation days. State broadcaster CCTV’s new app has also seen a surprising spike in interest, thanks in part to its livestream of the breakneck-paced construction of two new hospitals in Wuhan, which drew 12 million views on January 28.
While it’s too soon to say which short-video platforms will emerge as the long-term winners, Bytedance’s Douyin appears to lead as a source of information on the outbreak through its “Fight Coronavirus” page, which includes live updates and expert analysis and advice. Bytedance is also continuing its expansion into streaming longer content with the addition of another 13 theatrical films from Huanxi Media across its platforms, following a groundbreaking deal with the studio that brought the major Lunar New Year release “Lost in Russia” to viewers for free after all theatrical releases were cancelled last month.
Among the many Spring Festival gala shows broadcast this year, Dragon TV’s program won accolades for its last-minute changes to incorporate content on the coronavirus, including a poetry recital to express appreciation for front-line workers in Wuhan, a poverty-alleviation drive, sketch comedy with Shanghai police, and interviews with ordinary people sharing their stories of heroism.
A report on brand integrations on Hunan Television shows during 2019 highlights five noteworthy partnerships:
E-commerce platform Vipshop’s sponsored the romance reality show “My Little One” (我家那闺女), which used emotional appeal to establish a connection with the target audience of urban youth, spurring 438 million online discussions and drawing approval from mainstream media for promoting positive social values. Vipshop’s integration real-life scenarios portrayed consumers’ shopping needs and coincided with a 450% increase in sales for Vipshop’s top brands and a 73% increase in traffic for the Vipshop app.
Celebrity reality show “Back to Field” (向往的生活) strengthened the connection between sponsor Mengniu’s Milk Deluxe brand (特仑苏) and the audience by integrating the brand’s core value, “natural is better,” with serene country settings and memorable scenes on the show, thus appealing to the viewers’ desires to get away from it all.
In August 2019, Hunan Television partnered with major auto brands to broadcast its first-ever “Global Auto Show.” The “car culture”-themed event included interactive sessions that encouraged viewers to use the auto brands’ apps to win cash prizes (drawing 70 million unique visitors) and can serve as a model for future globally-oriented marketing campaigns.
The McDonald’s musical collaboration with the singing competition “Super Vocal” (声入人心) deployed a custom song “yē yé yě yè ”(椰味四重唱) featuring four of the show’s popular contestants to promote a “quartet” of coconut-flavored products, thus aligning the musical elements of the show with the McDonald’s brand. The video was shared on traditional media channels as well as on short-video platforms and Weibo to maximize its reach, and is a good example of how brands can use high-quality content to build brand equity.
The cultural variety show “The Magic of Chinese Characters” (神奇的汉字) was sponsored by educational app Homework Help and included special sessions featuring teachers from the company aimed at boosting credibility and gaining viewers’ trust. In addition, the study app dispatched high-achieving users to compete on the variety show, generating additional interest and improving the brand’s reputation. A joint mini-program launched by Hunan TV and Homework Help drew 330,000 unique visitors and 2.39 million page views over the course of four months.
Older celebrities are taking to China’s short-video platforms. The “second generation” of short-video stars consists mainly of comedy performers creating following types of content:
Videos playing on current viral memes. These can bring higher click rates but may not stand out from the crowd.
Vlogs that can give audiences fresh insights into their daily lives.
Original videos that tie into what they’re best known for, such as sketch comedy, which may have the greatest appeal for viewers.
The First International Film Festival, held annually in Xining, has emerged as a major source of new and groundbreaking Chinese films, and it is also becoming an important platform for brands seeking to integrate with high-quality creative content. At last year’s festival, sponsor Mini screened several films that it funded, in addition to providing transportation services for guests. First has also partnered with brands to launch short film programs such as Ant Financial’s young director series and Huawei’s “Future Film” campaign, which included vertical video.
Bona Film Group became the second studio to cancel a theatrical release and go straight to streaming. “Enter the Fat Dragon” (肥龍過江), an action comedy originally slated to hit theaters on February 16, was instead released on iQiyi and Tencent Video on February 1. Hollywood Reporter

18 April 2014 - Ed Miliband signs up top Obama adviser for UK election
Ed Miliband signs up top Obama adviser David Axelrod for UK election
Patrick Wintour (The Guardian)
Barack Obama's most influential adviser during two presidential victories has been hired to advise Labour on its 2015 election campaign, ensuring that Ed Miliband will put inequality and the break between family finances and economic growth at the centre of his election campaign.
David Axelrod has been given the title of senior strategic adviser and told the Guardian that Labour's political and economic analysis was similar to the central themes deployed in Obama's successful re-election campaign.
The political guru said that he had signed up "because I have had some long conversations with Ed Miliband over the course of the past year and it was less about politics, and more about this issue of how in the 21st century you create healthy economies in which opportunity is broadly available, and people can stay ahead of the cost of living".

Ed Miliband hires Obama election winner David Axelrod to mastermind Labour's 2015 election campaign
Peter Apps (The Independent)
Barack Obama's election guru has been hired to advise Labour on its 2015 campaign.
David Axelrod, instrumental in securing two election victories for the US President, has joined Ed Miliband's camp with the title of senior strategic adviser.
The deal was secured by Douglas Alexander, Labour's election co-ordinator, and involved a six figure sum being paid to Axelrod and AKPD, a media and consulting firm affiliated with the adviser, the Guardian reported.
Axelrod Role Is 'Seriously Bad News For Tories'
Staff (Sky News)
David Axelrod's appointment has been described by the Labour party as "seriously bad news for the Conservatives".
Mr Miliband said: "It's excellent news that David has agreed to help One Nation Labour win the next election and build our campaign to change Britain so hard-working people are better off.
"He will be a huge asset to our campaign as we work to show the British people how we can change our country for the better."
Following the announcement, Mr Axelrod said: "I've had several conversations with Ed Miliband over the course of the last year in which I have been struck by the power of his ideas, the strength of his vision and the focus he brings to solving the fundamental challenge facing Britain.

About Chorley
Chorley is a town in Lancashire, located roughly 20 miles North West of Manchester, with a population of roughly 34,000 people. Nearby areas include Blackburn, Bolton, Wigan and Preston.
The history of Chorley saw a significant contribution to the cotton and mining industry, as well as it’s role during the Second World War. Like most towns in Lancashire, Chorley attained the majority of its wealth in the cotton industry during the industrial revolution. Chorley was, in fact, one of the main cotton towns with a skyline dominated with mills in the surrounding areas. This was until they were demolished between the 1950’s and 2000’s.
Remains of the industrial past include numerous chimneys, mills and Victorian terraced work houses which homed local workers. Today, very few mills remain with the last manufacturing mill stop producing textiles in 2009.
Located on the edge of Lancashire Coalfield, Chorley was also a vital location for coal mining. Duxbury Woods, the Gillibrand area and Coppull were once home to mining pits which gave thousands of jobs to locals during this time. The Chisnall Hall Colliery was the biggest Lancashire pit outside of Wigan along with other pits located in the Chorley suburb. The last working pit was located south of Chorley, the Ellberbeck Colliery, which closed in 1987. Chorley was also home to the Royal Ordnance Factory, which was a large munitions manufacturer in Euxton.
Chorley is home to semi-professional football team, Chorley Football Club, also nicknamed, the ‘magpies’ with their black and white stripes. Their home-ground is at Victory Park which hosts football games today. Chorley Football Club was founded in 1975 and actually as a rugby club before it switched to football in 1983. The team currently compete in the National League North, but their past success was international, making two appearances in the second round of the FA Cup and 2 seasons in the Football Conference in the 1980’s.
Lancashire is renowned for its Cricket. Chorley and surrounding boroughs are home to a many cricket clubs, Currently, Chorley have two cricket clubs; Chorley Cricket Club who play in the Northern League, who have achieved great success in the past winning the ECB National Club Cricket Championships from 1994 to 1996. Chorley are also home to Chorley St James Cricket Club, who compete in the Southport District Amateur Cricket League it shut down in 2005.

Nonparametric Versus Parametric Reasoning Based on 2×2 Contingency Tables
Sulewski Piotr
The Pomeranian University, Institute of Mathematics

E-mail: piotr.sulewski@apsl.edu.pl
Received: 19 January 2018; revised: 27 March 2018; accepted: 08 May 2018; published online: 30 June 2018
DOI: 10.12921/cmst.2018.0000009
This paper proposes scenarios of generating contingency tables (CTs) with the probability flow parameter (PFP). It also defines measures of untruthfulness of H0 that involve PFP for all proposed scenarios. This paper is an attempt to
replace a nonparametric statistical inference method by the parametric one. The paper applies the maximum likelihood method to estimate PFP and presents instructions to generate CTs by means of the bar method. The Monte Carlo method is used to carry out computer simulations.

Gandy Dancer Work Song Tradition
Jim Brown, Samford University
Gandy Dancers
"Gandy dancers" was a nickname for railroad section gangs in the days before modern mechanized track upkeep. The men were called dancers for their synchronized movements when repairing track under the direction of a lead workman known as the "caller" or "call man." The name "gandy" supposedly arose from a belief that their hand tools once came from the Gandy tool company in Chicago (though no researcher has ever turned up such a company that made railroad tools). The name may also have derived from "gander" because the flat-footed steps of the workmen when lining track resembled the way that geese walk. There is, however, no consensus on the origin of the name.
Each group of railroad workers, known as section gangs, typically maintained 10 to 15 miles of track. The men refilled the ballast (gravel) between the railroad ties, replaced rotted crossties, and either turned or replaced worn rails, driving spikes to lock them to the crossties. Spike driving required no group coordination, but the heavy rails had to be carried by teams of men with large clamps called "rail dogs." A lead singer coordinated the effort with so-called "dogging" calls. A good half of a typical workday was spent on the constant chore of straightening out the track (known as lining), and it was from this activity that "gandy dancers" earned their name. When leveling the track, workmen jacked up the track at its low spots and pushed ballast under the raised ties with square-ended picks, often leaning shoulder-to-shoulder in pairs while the caller marked time with a four-beat "tamping" song.
Gandy Dancer
In the South in general and Alabama specifically, at least through the 1950s, the foreman of a section gang was invariably white and the members of the gang itself almost exclusively African American. The foreman typically positioned himself 50 yards or more from the section gang, squatted down, and examined the length of track for problems. He used visual signals to tell the caller where the track was out of alignment and when it was "lined" properly. At the time, rails typically came in 13-yard (12-meter) lengths. The section gang systematically aligned the rails at the joints and at specified points along its length in a well-defined order.
Section gangs were made up of as few as four men but might include as many as 30 men, depending on the workload. Each workman carried a lining bar, a straight pry bar with a sharp end. The thicker bottom end was square-shafted (to fit against the rail) and shaped to a chisel point (to dig down into the gravel underneath the rail); the lighter top end was rounded (for better gripping). When lining track, each man would face one of the rails and work the chisel end of his lining bar down at an angle into the ballast under it. Then all would take a step toward their rail and pull up and forward on their pry bars to lever the track—rails, crossties and all—over and through the ballast.
Lining track was difficult, tedious work, and the timing or coordination of the pull was more important than the brute force put forth by any single man. It was the job of the caller to maintain this coordination. He simultaneously motivated and entertained the men and set the timing through work songs that derived distantly from sea chanteys and more recently from cotton-chopping songs, blues, and African-American church music. Typical songs featured a two-line, four-beat couplet to which members of the gang would tap their lining bars against the rails, as in this example:
1 2 3 4 "O joint ahead and quarter back"
1 2 3 4 "That's the way we line this track"
When the liners were tapping in perfect time, he would call for a hearty pull on the third beat of a four-beat refrain:
1 2 3 4 "Come on, move it! Huhn! (pause)"
1 2 3 4 "Boys, can you move it! Uhmm! (pause)"
and so on until the foreman signaled that the track was properly aligned. A good caller could call all day and never repeat the same phrase twice. Veteran section gangs lining track, especially with an audience, often embellished their work with a one-handed flourish and with one foot stepping out and back on beats four, one, and two, between the two-armed pulls on the lining bars on beat three.
In a ceremony at the Smithsonian in 1996, John Henry Mealing (who had worked on the Western and then the Frisco lines) and Cornelius Wright (who had worked on U.S. Steel's 1,100 miles of track), two former callers of this kind of work song in central Alabama, received National Heritage Fellowship Awards as "Master Folk and Traditional Artists" for their demonstrations of this form of African-American folk art.

CHAPTER VIII - ON THE PECULIAR CHARACTER AND GRAMMATICAL FORM OF THE DIALECT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511706660.010
pp 412-418
1. IT will not be expected of us to enter in this place upon the wide subject of the origin, genius, and peculiarities, whether in respect to grammar or orthography, of that dialect of the Greek in which the N. T. was written, except so far as it bears directly upon the criticism of the sacred volume. Questions, however, are perpetually arising, when we come to examine the oldest manuscripts of Scripture, which cannot be resolved unless we bear in mind the leading particulars wherein the diction of the Evangelists and Apostles differs not only from that of pure classical models, but also of their own contemporaries who composed in the Greek language, or used it as their ordinary tongue.
2. The Greek style of the N. T., then, is the result of blending two independent elements, the debased vernacular speech of the age, and that strange modification of the Alexandrian dialect which first appeared in the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, and which, from their habitual use of that version, had become familiar to the Jews in all nations under heaven; and was the more readily adopted by those whose native language was Aramaean, from its profuse employment of Hebrew idioms and forms of expression. It is to this latter, the Greek of the Septuagint, of the Apocalypse, and of the foreign Jews, that the name of Hellenistic (Acts vi. 1) strictly applies.

Undoped and Sm3+-doped BaAl2S4 and BaAl2Se4 single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The optical energy band gaps of the BaAl2S4 and BaAl2Se4 were found to be 4.10 and 3.47 eV, respectively, at 5 K. In their photoluminescence spectra measured at 5 K, broad emission peaks at 459 and 601 nm appeared in the BaAl2S4 and at 486 and 652 nm in the BaAl2Se4. These emissions are assigned to donor–acceptor pair recombinations. Sharp emission peaks were observed in the Sm3+-doped BaAl2S4 and BaAl2Se4 single crystals at 5 K. Taking into account the ionic radii of the cations and Sm3+, these sharp emission peaks are attributed to the electron transitions between the energy levels of Sm3+ substituting with the Ba site.

DATEL SOUND SAMPLER
Producer: Datel Ltd
We first reviewed the original Datel Sound Sampler way back about June 1985. This is the 1986 upgrade (alas we had only the 48K version), and I’m sorry to report that there really isn’t a large amount of improvement. Okay, it’s not so noisy and the reproduction of the samples is notably better, but I really think that Datel could have also put some effort into the software and presentation of the package, especially as the sampler ‘war’ is hotting up with Cheetah and RAM/Flare getting in on the act.
The on-screen keyboard display from Datel’s sampler — play back your sounds and be moderately amazed...
So what do you get for your 50 notes? The usual hardware box and cheapo microphone plus software. Load up and away we go. Big “oops” here as you’re only told how to plug in the incorrectly labelled hardware at the END of the instructions — and I’m still baffled by the little trim pot on the back. The options are very much the same as the old Datel product and work very much in the same manner — with a few extras.
Record uses an automatic sound sensor that triggers the sampling above a certain threshold of sound. Trouble is, it’s too sensitive by half and is not adjustable. Datel seem to think that you are blessed with three or more appendages as you need to hold down the ‘R’ key during recording. Great for things like guitar, flute and anything percussive where two hands are needed — not to mention one to hold the microphone. As it is so sensitive and awkward to use, you often have great big gaps before and after your sample.
The technical wonder of actual sampling is not so wonderful anymore, and we should now demand easily manipulative facilities from any self-respecting sampler. What ain’t we got? That’s right. You can’t do a damn thing with it as regards editing. The unit will actually show you the wave of the sound sample just like the original version did: this option was useless then, and it still is. The lack of editing really relegates this product to the second division.
Datel’s SOUND SAMPLER: set up and ready to start taking samples... another anonymous black box to plug into the back of your computer
Four Part Sound one ray of hope is the option to record four different sounds and play them back from the numeric keys. This is fine, but you can’t alter the pitch in this mode of operation.
Playback the playback mode proper is quite good in that it displays a static piano keyboard on screen to be played from qwerty keys, and it has an amazing 9 octave range which will defy the human ear. Anything you play is automatically stuffed in a real-time sequencer which will play back your first 100 notes (albeit not quite as faithfully as Datel might claim as the timing alters from your version). I would suspect too generous a quantisation here — that is, the ‘rounding up’ function found on drum machines to correct minor timing errors.
Sounds may be played in reverse or stuffed through some novelty features like ‘Riser’, which replays the sample 8 times at a higher pitch each time, or ‘Chop Play’ which replays the sample 8 times at the same pitch only shortening the length of the sample on each repetition. I’d rather have some editing instead of the digital whoopee cushion provided by these redundant features.
Echo offers nine preset echo effects. You have to return to the main menu each time to change them — rather annoying!
Microphone Level Tester simply routes the signal straight through to the the output and to your amplification.
Load/Save samples can be dumped to tape or Microdrive.
In practice, you have very little control over what the Datel sound sampler does. Sure, it samples and does some party tricks with the sound, but you, the user, are pretty well subservient to some dogmatic software with very little room to manoeuvre. There is no MIDI option or synchronisation facility and in the light of other samplers now available, this package is very bovine indeed. It demands some drastic software rewriting to justify its price in face of the competition.

B.C. Imam: Jews Are “Monkeys and Pigs,” Prays for Their Destruction
crrns_control November 26, 2020
B’nai Brith Canada
Victoria, B.C. – B’nai Brith Canada has reached out to police following the revelation of another act of incitement by a firebrand religious figure.
In a Facebook post flagged Monday by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Younus Kathrada calls Jews “Brothers of monkeys and khanzeer” (pigs in Arabic), and calls on Allah to “Tear them apart.” The suggestion that Jews are related to monkeys and pigs – an unclean animal in both Islam and Judaism – is a well-known antisemitic smear in the Muslim world.
The post in question was made in 2014, but remains online as of today. Kathrada, who preaches for the “Muslim Youth of Victoria,” made the same allegation in 2004, prompting a police complaint by B’nai Brith at that time. In his 2014 post, Kathrada also prayed for the success of the Chechen jihadists. Notably, one of his congregants travelled to Chechnya to fight Russia and was killed there in 2004.
In October 2019, Kathrada advised his followers not to vote in last year’s federal election, arguing that all Jewish and Christian candidates were “filthy” and “evil.” In January of that year, Kathrada suggested that wishing Christians a merry Christmas was a sin worse than murder.
In April, B’nai Brith warned the B.C. Hate Crimes Unit of YouTube sermons by Kathrada calling on Allah to “humiliate the unbelievers and polytheists” and “destroy the enemies of Islam, the heretics and the atheists.” Kathrada also beseeches pine aid to “grant victory to those waging jihad on your path in every place” and “grant them victory over their enemies and your enemies.” In October, he called French terrorism victim Samuel Paty “a cursed, evil-spirited, filthy excuse for a human being.”
“There must be consequences for years of relentless hate and incitement against Jews and others,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. “The law enforcement and legal system in B.C. showed last week that it can act effectively against hate – but consistency is paramount.”
Last Friday, B.C. man Arthur Topham received a 30-day conditional sentence and three years of probation after posting antisemitic content online. This in turn was a breach of Topham’s previous probation terms, imposed after he was convicted of wilfully promoting hatred against Jews in 2015.

About Dharitri
Dharitri was launched by the ‘Samajwadi Society’ at Bhubaneswar on November 24, 1974. Blessed with the lofty vision and the searing perspective of great Oriya litterateur Kalindicharan Panigrahi and nurtured by the able hands of his illustrious daughter and the state’s first woman Chief Minister Nandini Satpathy, the paper set out to offer readers a new experience in and taste of reading. It graduated to offset printing in 1986. The paper found its real mojo in late 80s and early 90s of the last century under the guidance of present Editor Tathagata Satpathy. Soon, it became the mouthpiece of the subaltern, in sharp contrast to contemporary dailies that lived off political patronage.
As the only impartial Odia newspaper of the state, Dharitri could fast endear itself to vast multitudes of youth, and was the first newspaper to launch special pages and features keeping in mind nuanced interests of its subscribers. Riding on a potpourri of content starting with mint fresh news, infotainment, business features to sports tid-bits, literature and literary critiques, it became number one paper in the capital city, both in terms of numbers and quality of its reportage. It continues to maintain leadership and hold over readers in urban and the state’s countryside. Dharitri made a new beginning in the history of Odia journalism by carrying a special page every day of the week on Youth, Agriculture, Business, Health & Science and such, going far beyond the daily chores of dishing out plain vanilla news. Its weekly special issues such as Sunday Supplement, Children’s Pullout and Literature Supplement have been a huge draw to this day.
From day one, the paper has strived to enrich Odia language and literature. Going beyond carrying features of known writers and columnists, it has provided a platform to numerous budding writers through ‘Sahityayana’, a fortnightly literary supplement. It has also given space to new political and economic thoughts that have helped the paper to consistently keep a step ahead of competitors. It also carries regular features for leisurely read and children’s content such as short stories, poems, general knowledge and world events, among others.
Dharitri has always espoused the cause of woman empowerment what with its campaign ‘Urja’ (Itz your world), an annual event bringing together girl students from all parts of the state. The spirit of Urja is retained in the pages of the publication even today. Dharitri has been carrying on its campaign to ensure that women get their voice heard.
Odisha has a largely agrarian economy. Here, the progress of farmers is tantamount to the progress of the state. Swearing by this maxim, Dharitri devotes a significant chunk of its space to news and features on farming. It is the first and till now the only Odia daily to carry a special weekly feature page on agriculture ‘Krushi Jeevan’ that covers a wide array of content such as organic farming, high yield variety seeds and research-based agri-information that are practical and are being used by farmers across the state. Experts’ views on a variety of subjects such as seasonal paddy, vegetables, horticulture, bee-keeping, pisciculture, dairy and poultry farming and drip irrigation/water conservation are regularly included.
Dharitri’s entertainment pages are a feast for its readers. Besides weekly capsule ‘Vichitraa’, it carries daily doses on film, television, yatra and music.
It started a customized feature for children ‘Pilanka Dharitri’ to boost the cognitive faculties of children. It carries write-ups, drawings and paintings by children together with their photographs. The supplement, rich with 360 degree information for children, has been a major hit with kids.
The paper has been endeavouring to drive awareness on science and healthcare. To address these issues, it began a weekly science page called ‘Swasthya Vigyan (Health Science). It carries features about works of Odia scientists and interesting updates on science and health technology . It also puts a premium on environment and its protection.
Dharitri has always been ahead of others when it comes to catering to the interests of youngsters. Weekly tabloid Metro/Man Mizaz has been well received by the youth. The tabloid has caught on with students and youngsters by carrying tailor-made and edifying columns. A regular space for ‘selfie corner’ is a big hit with the youth. It publishes a weekly special ‘Agami Asha’ (Future Hope) carrying inspiring articles for Generation Y.
Life is incomplete without sports and none scores better than Dharitri on this. Apart from covering daily sports news, it publishes a weekly sports special with detailed information that include field and track events.
The paper stood out among its peers for its sterling coverage of business news, information on employment and career and experts’ columns. It carried a new genre of business news when the idea was yet to dawn on other newspapers in Odisha. Its Sunday supplement ‘Chhutidina’ is a most sought issue for its readers. It’s packed with an assortment of content such as current affairs, features, special days and festivals, history, heritage, customs, travelogues, personalities, films, satire, relationships, fashion, astrology and crime.
Elephant, the largest land mammal, is in the middle of a crisis. The man-elephant conflict has come up as a major issue in Odisha. The number of elephant deaths is increasing alarmingly. In view of this problem and as a token of its commitment to environment and ecology, Dharitri launched a novel initiative ‘Hati Banchao, Haata Misao’ (Join Hands, Save the Elephant). This campaign has sought universal participation. It cannot be overstressed that renowned elephant experts such as Prof Raman Sukumar had helped launch this movement. Dharitri has opened a new chapter on the issue of elephant protection in the country and has been diligently carrying regular news and features on this theme.
Any discussion on Odia life and culture is futile without a word on Lord #Jagannath. Since its inception, Dharitri has been featuring news, articles and special pages on Jagannath culture, rituals, festivals and services of the deities. ‘Daru Dian’ – its magazine published on the occasion of the #Nabakalebara in 2015—created ripples in the state and beyond. Its regular column on Jagannath titled ‘Aitihara Odisha’ (Heritage Odisha) has made an attempt to publish many facets of the most important Hindu temple of #Odisha.
Last but not least, Dharitri, known for its gritty and intrepid editorials, has been highly appreciated by readers for its unmatched courage to speak the truth regardless of whose feathers are ruffled. In fact, Dharitri has been providing wind to its sails of progressive ideology unprejudiced by age old biases.
It is also the only paper of the state that holds no brief for any business-mining lobby, nor for any political outfit. It can rightfully claim to be the voice of the common Odia.

Florida Child Advocacy Lawyer Guest Post: ‘Right for Kids’ a First Step – Yet Florida’s At-Risk Kids Need More
August 8th, 2012 No Comments Uncategorized
Gainesville, Florida-based child advocacy attorney and Florida’s Children First board member Gloria Fletcher offers the following commentary on the “Right For Kids” report…
As an advocate and attorney for foster children and at-risk kids in Gainesville, North Central Florida and throughout the state, I support any effort that advances the cause of protecting our most vulnerable citizens statewide. But the new “Right for Kids” report, while laudable in its the effort to chronicle improvements in Florida’s child welfare system, is to many overreaching in its feting Florida with praise and high rankings.
Frankly, as reported by the leading statewide child advocacy organization, Florida’s Children First, such ratings may leave residents believing “everything is fine” in Florida and our work is done here.
That simply is not the case.
The Foundation for Government Accountability released the “Right for Kids” report, which portrays Florida’s child welfare system favorably in comparison to other states. Some in the Florida’s child welfare community have lauded its findings.
While there is some cause for praise – the state is in the top quarter of all states in various positive categories – the report also presents a misleading perspective of the system. Simply put, children still languish in the system of care.
Advancements have set a high bar to achieve and goals to fulfill. For example, while Florida is one of 11 states with a 24-hour rapid response to investigate claims of abuse or neglect, the report reveals that more than 22,500 kids were not seen within 24 hours of an investigation opening. Though the state is one of nine states that ensure short and stable stays in foster care as a general practice, reality is far from the goal. Some 40 percent of children had been in out-of-home care longer than one year; nearly 1,000 children had been in state care for five years or more, FCF notes.
As FCF reported, Florida is one of only 12 states that visit the vast majority of foster kids monthly. In fact, the state is a leader in this. Yet, while caseworkers are urged to help parents get the services and support needed so their children can be safely returned, FCF reported only 43 percent of parents are contacted each month by the caseworkers.
The findings and figures go on. The state must be praised for its efforts to shorten kids’ stays in foster care, to investigate reports of abuse, and to reunite families when possible. Yet, as reality reveals – and the tales of thousands of foster kids prove – Florida still has much work to do on the path to ensuring what’s right for kids.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Review
Release Date: 8 September 2020
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoni...
I re-reckon this is an unplayable, buggy mess.
Kingdoms of Amalur:
I remembered “Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning” fondly: I’d long touted its merits as an unsung gem, longed for more games of its genre to ape its fluid, arcadey action. I’d dug its fun, addictive levelling and rewarding skill trees. I’d enjoyed it enough the first time through to be excited when I heard it was being remastered and rereleased for modern consoles. But, looking back, this was a gem perhaps best left buried.
When I first booted up Re-Reckoning, I was struck by how decidedly seventh-gen it was. Amalur was – and sadly still is – a game that very much belongs in the Xbox 360 and PS3 era. As the games industry has continued its bad habit of churning out middling remakes of anything that was ever passably popular, players expecations have risen when it comes to what we expect from these cash-ins (because that’s what they are, make no mistake). 2020 is an age where remakes are as lovingly revitalized as Final Fantasy VII and Shadow of the Colossus, and even ‘simple’ remasters like Saints Row 3 have stepped up to a ludicrous degree to get noticed in an over saturated, under funded market.
Amalur looks very much how it did in my memories – a beautifully designed world full of ugly character models and flat textures. There’s a resolution bump of course, the devs have talked of a new lighting engine that I honestly haven’t noticed (in fact the game is overly dark in every dungeon) and there’s likely been a bump to the frame-rate, but this is a bare-bones port by all accounts. But Amalur has such a fun gameplay loop that this simplicity threatens to be a non-issue altogether. Indeed, once I was out of the tutorial and blasting through side quests, button mashing through chunky, fun combat and engaging in the addictive loot & level-up grind, I barely cared what the game looked like.
The freedom afforded by its non-chalance towards traditional RPG classes – any build can effortlessly swap between bows, daggers, swords, massive hammers and magic staves, switching between slinging spells and stealth-kills whenever the mood takes you – is an evolution of the systems that made the Fable series such a joy to play. On that first day, I was hooked all over again, happy that years of recommending this game hadn’t just been blind nostalgia for a fun, massive game during a time in my life where I really needed a fun, massive game. But after a couple of solid play sessions, the game started to fall apart.
I began encountering too many game-breaking bugs to count. Amalur began crashing my system so often that I thought maybe my console was on the fritz, but it was only specific areas that were booting me back to dashboard time and time again. After a quick google, I found plenty of similarly dejected players experiencing these problems – and for anyone who didn’t over-save in multiple slots like I do (a bad habit that occasionally yields results) they were simply out of luck. Bugs that stopped you from fast travelling out of an area with no exit, dungeon sections that completely lock up without escape, or triggers that simply wouldn’t trigger to allow forward progress (and these are only the game-breaking bugs – there were plenty of occasional hangs, invisible enemies not rendering during cutscenes, my player character disappearing and reappearing in a completely different section of the arena… )
For every solution I found (all of them ridiculous – one savvy player told me to narrow my field of view so that I could only see my character and inch my way past a visual that crashed the game every time the camera glimpsed it) there was a new problem to take its place. It was at 3AM, when I was up against yet another potentially game breaking bug (a forcefield that was supposed to come down after I cleared a room of enemies, and didn’t) that I reached the end of my tether: I went to Google yet again to try and work my way past this new problem, only to find workarounds from eight years ago – the original launch date of the game. Some of these problems had been baked in since the first launch and never addressed, even in this brand new remaster. I was done.
Kingdoms of Amalur is a great game that should have received more praise and attention when it came out. It’s original studio didn’t deserve to be shuttered months after this game launched (potentially why some of these bugs were never fixed originally). Amalur could have been iterated upon and built into something wonderful over the years, but fate had other plans and it was lost to the ages. Or at least, it should have been.
Which brings me to my final point: Re-Reckoning was sold largely on its brand new expansion – Fatesworn. I’d gone into this experience thinking that expansion was part of the package – was the reason this game was getting re-released at all, but it was yet another disappointment when I found out that expansion isn’t coming until next year. It will be paid DLC.
So what does buying into Re-Reckoning (for 40 euro) currently get you? A buggy, basic remaster that you might not even be able to play all the way through thanks to a myriad of issues. Maybe now that the game has an active developer once more, these bugs will be ironed out, but as it stands I can’t in good conscience recommend this game to anyone.
I went into this review eager to recommend it yet again, as I have done these past eight years. I’m gutted I can’t do that.
Since the game was so buggy our reviewer wasn’t able to give it a proper score. Sorry about that. Hopefully all the bugs will be ironed out very soon so our reviewer can have a re-visit to ‘Amalur’.

Replacement of the roof of the “Lustral Basin” in the “Little Palace”
The “Little Palace” is approximately 230m. NW of the Palace of Knossos, to which it appears to have been connected by the “Royal Road”. The exceptionally constructed building complex, with a total area of about 1500sq.m., is the second-largest complex of Knossos. Built on three different levels, the lowest of which is 3m. below the floor level of the main structure, it is laid out in three main sectors and presents characteristic architectural features of the Minoan palaces (pillar crypts, polythyra, staircases and a lustral basin). It was built during the MM IIIB-LM IA period and destroyed by fire in LM II. Parts of the complex were reoccupied in the Postpalatial period, when the “Lustral Basin” was turned into the “Fetish Shrine”.
In the west sector of the “Little Palace” complex, a peripheral monument of the Palace of Knossos, is the “Lustral Basin”, in which the Minoan clay plaster preserves the marks of the fluted wooden columns, of unique archaeological and architectural value.
When the “Lustral Basin” was discovered, Arthur Evans’s own main preoccupation was to protect these imprints; in 1910 a wooden tiled roof with three skylights was constructed. In 1956, Ephor N. Platon replaced this structure with a roof of wood and metal, covered with corrugated asbestos-cement sheets.
Due to poor state of this roof and its inclination, which let rainwater in, it was considered necessary to replace it.
Thus, in 2011 the old wooden roof was replaced with a new roof of wooden rafters with purlins (horizontal beams), to which polycarbonate sheets were fixed. The same materials were used to construct a screen between the roof and the top of the east wall, while a copper rainwater drainage pipe was also added.
This ensured the best possible protection of this unique and representative example of a Neopalatial “lustral basin”.

Does your personality make you good (or bad) at foreign languages? With Professor Tim Keeley
By Katie
Why are some people good at learning languages?
Or not so good?
Is it motivation, memory or experience?
These things can make a difference. But many of the people I know who speak several languages also share certain personality traits that seem to make language learning easier for them.
What are they, and can you cultivate them to learn a language better?
Today’s guest, professor Tim Keeley, is an expert on how personality type and emotions can affect your success in language learning.
In this interview, Tim talks about:
Why certain personality types are better – or worse – at learning foreign languages.
The tiny, almond-shaped part of your brain that makes a big difference to how you learn.
How to develop the character traits that will help you learn a language.
Why it’s ok – and normal – to make beginners’ mistakes, even at advanced levels.
As well as knowing a lot about the psychology behind how people learn languages, Tim speaks a baffling number of languages himself (watch the beginning to find out how many!) – if you’re looking for inspiration and practical ideas to boost your language learning, Tim Keeley’s your man.
To listen to the interview while you’re out and about, you can download the podcast version here.
1. Are you good at bouncing back from tough situations?
How far do you agree with these statements?
It takes me a long time to recover from stressful experiences.
I find that little things often bother me.
I have never been good at coping with negative emotions.
In the first part of the interview, Tim introduces a trait called emotional resilience and how it can help you learn a foreign language.

The science bit: Your brain on stress
Tim gets into the neurobiology of how stress can impact your language learning. What happens in the brains of people who are good (and not so good) at coping with stress?
In this section, you’ll learn about:
The amygdala: a little part of your brain that can get you into big trouble!
The left prefrontal cortex: the “thinking” part of your brain which keeps the amygdala in check.
How the connections between these two parts of the brain can dictate how you respond to stress.

2. Can you put yourself in other people’s shoes?
I’m sensitive to the slightest change in a person’s facial expressions.
Before acting, I think things through carefully.
People come to me because I’m understanding of their problems.
In this part of the interview, Tim explains how your ability to identify with people from different cultures can help (or hinder) your attempts to learn a foreign language.

What happens when we can’t empathise with other people?
Tim introduces a concept called “joint attention” and explains why your ability to connect with others is crucial when it comes to language development.
