Effective and efficient care coordination across a community is quickly becoming a cornerstone in a healthcare organization’s (HCO’s) strategic efforts to manage the health of the population it serves. Moving beyond discharge summary distribution to reduce readmits, which is still far from perfect, HCOs are now setting their sights on care coordination for the ability to optimize care management, disease management and utilization management (CM, DM & UM). The solution landscape for care coordination is a highly diverse one that has, to our knowledge, seen very little in the way of formal analysis. Since one of Chilmark Research’s core tenets is to bring clarity to technologies that have the potential to be transformational to the delivery of care, we are launching a new Domain of coverage – Care Coordination. This Domain Monitor gives an early preview as to our current thoughts, informed in-part through discussions with CAS clients, on this important area that will guide our research in the coming months.

New Christie & Co report: Spanish Hotel Market: Canary Islands
Christie & co, the leading specialist hotel property advisor, releases its new update on the report: “Spanish Hotel Market: Most Competitive Cities”, published for first time in 2016.
The more than 82 million international tourist arrivals registered in 2017 marked a new record in tourism in Spain, while the Canary Islands, by themselves, received more than 8 million international tourists over the past year. As a result, the Spanish hotel market has experienced an extraordinary boom in recent years, reflected in its repeated profitability increases. However, the recovery of competing ‘sun and beach’ destinations such as Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey, represent a threat that has already begun to be felt in Spanish holiday destinations like the Canary Islands.
This new Christie & Co report on the Canary Islands hotel market in 2017 and year-to-date 2018, up to the end of August, analyses the available statistical data to determine if this threat has really affected the destination in the last two years according to its key performance indicators: hotel demand, offer and profitability.
According to data published by the Canary Institute of Statistics (ISTAC), which offers an objective view of the islands with special attention paid to those islands which are more competitive in tourism, those that generate the greatest interest among the main players in the tourism industry, including investors and operators, are: Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Fuerteventura, and Lanzarote. The islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro are not analysed individually due to the low tourist weight they represent with respect to the region, accounting for only 2.5% of the overnight stays recorded in the whole of the islands in 2017.
The Christie & Co report states that, on an individual level, Gran Canaria is in the lead both in terms of RevPar (EUR 82.47 in 2017) and occupancy (86.6% in 2017), despite registering a slight decrease (-0.4% and -0.5% respectively) on 2016 data. Up to August 2018, the island registered a more pronounced decrease in both indicators, registering EUR 77.97 in RevPar (-3.2% compared to the same period in 2017) and 83.3% in terms of occupancy (-3% compared to August 2017). Average price (ADR), in the case of Gran Canaria, is, the indicator that shows the least difference, recording EUR 95.25 in 2017 (+0.1% compared to 2016) and EUR 93.60 up to August 2016 (-0.2% compared to August 2017).
Gran Canaria is closely followed in absolute terms by Tenerife, which registered a RevPar of EUR 80.80 in 2017 (registering an increase of 3.7% on the previous year), an occupancy of 84.9% (-2.1% vs. 2016) and an average price of EUR 95.22 (+5.9% compared to 2016). The updated data up to August 2018 again shows a stabilisation in 2018, with a decrease of 4.3% in terms of RevPar (down to EUR 76.80), of 4.9% in occupancy terms (down to 81.1%) and a slight increase of 0.6% in terms of average price, far from the 2016-2017 year-on-year increase.
Fuerteventura, on the other hand, is the island with the lowest negative year-on-year values, with a RevPar of EUR 77.66 in 2017 (+8.5% compared to 2016), that has not reduced in the January-August period of 2018. On the contrary, it has accumulated a 2% increase, being the only island that registers a positive evolution in terms of RevPar YTD. As for occupancy, it increased by 0.4% in 2017 compared to 2016 (up to 86%) but has decreased slightly (-0.2%) in the January-August period of 2018 down to 84.1%. In terms of average price, the island has registered a continuous increase, with EUR 90.35 in 2017 (+8.1% compared to 2016) and EUR 90.10 to August 2018 (+2.3% compared to the same period in 2017).
In the case of Lanzarote, the positive trend found in Fuerteventura continues, being the island that recorded the greatest increase in RevPar in 2017, reaching EUR 76.60 (+14% compared to 2016). However, it registers a decline in the period January-August 2018 (-0.7% with respect to the same period in 2017). Regarding occupancy, Lanzarote registered 86.1% in 2017 (-0.7% vs. 2016) and 82.9% up to August 2018 (-4.1% compared to January-August 2017), thus continuing the generalised downward trend, especially seen in Gran Canaria and Tenerife. In terms of average price, Lanzarote also recorded the largest increases, having reached EUR 88.94 in 2017 (and a record increase of +14.8% over 2016) and EUR 91.40 euros through August 2018 (+3.5) % vs August 2017).
Joan Bagó, Analyst in the Christie & Co Spain & Portugal Consultancy Division, and responsible for the report, comments, "After an exceptional 2017 for the Canary Islands hotel sector, the results obtained in 2018 indicate a stabilisation of the tourist growth of the islands, with the decrease in occupancy being the main reason for the RevPAR decline".
Inmaculada Ranera, Managing Director at Christie & Co Spain & Portugal, adds, "The Canary Islands has been established as a destination that continues to be very attractive for both operators and national and international investors. Despite the threat of recovery of certain Mediterranean markets that offer competition, the Canaries tourism industry has improved its offer quality in recent years, which places it as a holiday destination in a first-class market in Europe".

Christ is Risen, CLP!
Easter Sunday is a day of immense joy for Christians around the world. It is the day when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This miracle not only signifies the triumph of good over evil and life over death, but also holds deep significance for our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationship with the world around us. In this blog post, we will explore the beauty of Easter and how it connects to these relationships. We will also provide a practical exercise to illustrate the point and discuss the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20, NIV), which Aimee Wickersham will share more on in her message on April 16.
The Vertical Relationship: Our Connection with God
Our vertical relationship with God is the most essential aspect of our Christian faith. This connection is deepened and strengthened by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On Easter Sunday, we are reminded of the immense love that God has for us, as demonstrated by sending His Son to die for our sins and then raising Him from the dead.
The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, providing us with hope and the assurance of eternal life. Paul eloquently speaks about the importance of the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:17 (NIV): "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins." The resurrection is the proof that Jesus conquered sin and death, paving the way for our reconciliation with God.
As we celebrate Easter, we should take time to reflect on our personal relationship with God and seek ways to deepen this connection. Prayer, worship, and reading the Bible are essential tools that can help us grow closer to Him.
The Horizontal Relationship: Our Connection with the World
Our horizontal relationship with the world around us is closely tied to our vertical relationship with God. The love and grace that we receive from Him should overflow into our interactions with others. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a call to action for Christians to love one another and extend that love to the world.
In John 13:34-35 (NIV), Jesus commands us, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another." Easter reminds us that we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world, demonstrating His love and compassion to others.
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20, NIV) further emphasizes our responsibility towards others. Jesus instructs His disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." As followers of Christ, we are also called to share the good news of His resurrection with others and invite them to join us in the joy of the Christian faith. Join us on Sunday, April 16, as Aimee Wickersham shares what it means to make disciples.
A Practical Exercise: The Cross Illustration
To help illustrate the connection between our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationship with the world, try the following exercise:
The joy of Easter Sunday is a powerful reminder of the importance of our vertical relationship with God and our horizontal relationship with the world around us. As we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, let us commit ourselves to deepen our connection with God and extending His love to others through acts of service, compassion, spiritual growth and care, and sharing the good news of Christ's victory over sin and death.
By embracing the joy of Easter and living out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20, NIV), we can make a significant impact on the world and bring the hope and love of Christ to all those we encounter. May the message of Easter inspire us to strengthen our vertical and horizontal relationships, as we continue to grow in our faith and fulfill our God-given purpose.
Check out Sunday's 9:15 am Easter Service!

|Representation On Offensive Philosophy|
We can assume that since Thursday night's game will be the "dress rehearsal", Cincinnati will present an idealist philosophy on how the team plans to conduct the offense early this season. We doubt it will be the total aerial assault like against the New York Jets, or a stretch of five-consecutive runs like against the Detroit Lions. However it wouldn't be surprising if the Bengals decided to impact the game offensively with their core rushing offense, forcing quarterback Andy Dalton into a more expected management role as a rookie quarterback.
Head coach Marvin Lewis and offensive coordinator have presented an offensive philosophy with a core rushing offense throughout the offseason. Through two preseason games this year, Cedric Benson and Brian Leonard have combined for 22 rush attempts -- that's 12 less than Dalton's 34 passing attempts. There's no reason to believe that the coaching staff will continue the trend of Dalton throwing during 57.6% of the team's total offensive plays during situations he's at quarterback.
It's unknown how much playing time, if any, the team's newest safety Taylor Mays will receive Thursday night. If he does he could get playing time with the second unit so the coaching staff can gauge him at this point. Otherwise we'd be willing to say that Mays will show up at some point in the third quarter.
Gibril Wilson, who only recently recovered from a serious injury last year, will make his preseason debut against the Panthers. How much will Mays and Wilson change the dynamics of the team's depth chart at safety?
|Backup Running Back|
Bernard Scott's preseason debut was expected to happen last Sunday against the New York Jets. Though considering the game was in the middle of a rainstorm, the team held Scott out to prevent any reoccurrence with a groin injury. Brian Leonard has taken the bulk of the carries as the primary backup, posting a 2.9 yard/rush average on nine attempts and scoring the team's only touchdown through two preseasons.
Beyond that, the team's backup position is wide open right now.
“It’s a very good competitive situation,” said running backs coach Jim Anderson. “The next two weeks will be interesting to see how it unfolds. It’s going to be fun.”
|Defensive Line Changes|
Carlos Dunlap hasn't practiced this week and isn't expected to suit up against the Panthers. Jonathan Fanene, who recently re-signed with the Bengals, wasn't ready against the New York Jets marking this as his preseason debut. Fanene was one of the team's best pass rushers during his most recent season where he played more than two games. Fanene will most likely backup Michael Johnson at left defensive end.
I'm also interested in is the combination of Jason Shirley and Clinton McDonald, who is arguably having one of the better preseasons on the defensive line. Shirley is just a man-handling monster and when he gains leverage, he literally has the strength to move blockers aside.
Third-string quarterback. The battle for the fifth and sixth wide receiver positions. Chase Coffman vs. Colin Cochart vs. Bo Scaife. Clint Boling vs. Nate Livings. Will Korey Lindsey be able to outplay and improve his position on the depth chart against Rico Murray, Jonathan Wade or Fred Bennett? Will Fred Bennett play himself off the roster?

WORDS TO LIVE BY:
One common theme in the memoirs I’ve worked on is a Words to Live By chapter. It could go anywhere, of course; but typically it’s the last chapter of the book — an effective way to leave your reader with positive and helpful thoughts.
Ah, but what to say in a Words to Live By chapter? Think about what you’d like to tell your grandchildren – even descendants you’ll never get to meet. What lessons did you learn the hard way? Advice you want to pass on, or your philosophy on life. Memorable words from the folks who guided you. Quotes from famous folks you especially love.
A Words to Live By chapter doesn’t have to be long; even a short-and-sweet list can be a fascinating way to end your memoir.
Like a few examples? Here are just a few of my favorite “Words to Live By” from the memoirs I’ve been privileged work on!
* * * * * * *
Words of Encouragement:
* Tell yourself positive things you have accomplished, can accomplish, are accomplishing.
* Fall down nine times; get up ten.
* Perfection will never be attained by man. But errors and failures provide a means to reconsider what we thought we knew.
Words of Advice:
* Health is priority number one. You can do nothing without the best health possible; preserve it as long as possible.”
* Caution: Do not mix the finances of parents and children.
* Have clear short-term and long-range plans.
* In marriage, choose a person you can learn from.
* Try not to be judgmental about others’ behavior. Just try to understand, what was their intent or motivation? Forgive, if you cannot forget.
* Don’t worry so much about the values you are teaching your kids. Your kids aren’t going to listen to you, anyhow. Growing up, they’ve already internalized some of the things you feel are important. They know your values when they watch you.
Old Family Sayings & Famous Quotes:
* My feeling is that there is nothing in life but refraining from hurting others, and comforting those that are sad. — Olive Schreiner, South African author (1855-1920).
* I have always believed that God never gives a cross to bear larger than we can carry. . . . No matter what, God wants us to be happy. He doesn’t want us to be sad. Birds sing after a storm. Why shouldn’t we? — Rose Kennedy.
* For every problem under the sun there is a reason, or there is none. If there is, try to find it; if there is none, never mind it. (Old saying).
* Only sincerity and honesty are required in dealing with new situations — use the best of your knowledge, to the best of your ability without fear of failure. Just be willing to embrace new understandings.
* Make yourself useful as well as beautiful.

Why Hybrid Cloud Security is Important?
There are several IT managers who are confused while preparing and monitoring their business cloud platforms. They are in a troubling state of mind while shifting their work to the hybrid environment because it is difficult to make the hybrid cloud as clean and efficient as possible. Therefore, here we came with this informative post is to guide the use and tricks of hybrid cloud security solutions. It will enable readers to make the best out of the cloud and achieve growth in their business through trending technology in a protective manner.
Hybrid Cloud Security Solutions
a few years ago, company predictors said that once organizations plan to shift their work to the cloud, first they have to create a public cloud and then, append public cloud services. But in actual this thing didn’t happen. Organizations directly jumped into the hybrid cloud at a rapid speed. Gartner’s research predicted that 90% of enterprises would be having capabilities of hybrid cloud security solutions, architecture, and management by the year 2021. However, any of the ongoing trends come with other consequences and the same is with the hybrid cloud. This leads to opening doors for Cyberthreat to occur in a business, if keen eyes are not kept on the online business data.
Hybrid Cloud Security Best Practices To Secure Enterprise Data
The latest study found that only 30% of the hybrid cloud security executives are working with unified security products. These tools are the ones that span traditional IT infrastructure and off-premises environment. The majority of the organizations are hot on their heels, after the adoption of AWS and Azure email platforms. Well coming back to the topic that how to build a secure enterprise hybrid cloud? The answer to this question comprises of the following 6 hybrid cloud security best practices:
- Real-Time Data Monitoring – Data visibility is a core part of prevention against cloud security threats. Industries should be having a solution, which provides them real-time visibility of business content. This will help administrators to determine the business files used by employees for any sort of purpose. When this solution is available, it is the responsibility of the administrator to regularly view the business content and checks employee’s behavior towards it.
- System Intelligence – Predictive analytic allows the environment to assume the modification’s outcome. It is like an automated machine learning solution, which works on the basis of prior user activities. Also, a ‘what-if’ kind of analysis is also available for configuration and OS to compete against today’s cyber attack. Hybrid cloud security solutions should be capable of fetching content from 3rd parties through APIs for creating a more correlated change in view. Some clients describe this entire scenario as a ‘virtual whiteboard’.
- Deep Discovery – Now it is a regular need to have a cloud information security approach that identifies existing and new operations in the business. It should be having the power to rapidly adopt changes with the existing workloads over several CSPs. This procedure of discovery should be easy and simple, rendering existing AuthN and AuthZ policies to avoid the creating of a special Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy every time.
- Flexibility – The ability for spanning several workload platforms like IaaS, PaaS, containers, virtual containers, etc., and their easy implementation, is an integral part of medium-sized enterprises. Initial deploying on-premise means that the same products and services will be extending into the cloud. This secure enterprise hybrid cloud approach states that environmental architecture has been thought from the starting of the hybrid platform. Flexibility comprises installation ease from the marketplace of cloud service providers.
- Extensible – Developers user-friendly API opens the environment to external data components and items like PAM, security information and event management, logging, user and entity behavior analytic, IAM, etc. This out-of-the-box ability of cloud and API is mandatory to fit into business core applications. Application programming interface enables consolidation into continuous integration and deployment (CI-CD) of the business process. Of course, this relates to the support for lifecycle container, which encompasses the container runtimes, images, and orchestration.
- Responsiveness – The threat of today’s digitization scenarios quickly mixes up themselves with the targeted data just on one command. This means that effective cloud data security measures should take minimum time in implementation and duration to baseline. The solution to secure enterprise hybrid cloud should be capable enough to identify the posture changes. A microservices-based infrastructure is required to scale elasticity and, an agent-less infrastructure is required to adapt containers and function-based workload in the proper manner. The solution should be having the ability to eliminate ‘agent bloat’, which affects the memory, input/output, and central processing units.
In order to achieve a secure enterprise environment with the help of hybrid cloud security solutions, organizations can either apply cloud security best practices on their own or go for cloud security vendors. The role of these vendors is to provide security-as-a-service (SaaS), aiming at the security of a business’s client content. Day and night employees of these service providers keep a constant eye on the client’s data and whenever a threat is detected, immediate action takes place. Enterprises can now take help from these CASB solution providers and then, focus on innovative ideas to grow their business with cloud computing.

Considering how your New York dog breeder raised them is very important to their health and learning curve. If they raise your golden retriever in a positive environment, they should have an obedient and loving personality.
As you select your puppy, consider the appearance, age, size, and gender. For instance, the gender of the Golden Retriever has a large impact on its personality. Choose a puppy compatible with your personality.
Golden Retrievers can be outrageously disobedient without early training and socialization from their breeders. Without training from breeders, your puppy will certainly require professional training later in life to receive the required discipline that a Golden Retriever needs. Training in puppyhood can instill obedience in your dog, preparing them for a bright future of good behavior.

Structure, mechanism and crystallographic fragment screening of the SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 helicase.
Newman JA., Douangamath A., Yadzani S., Yosaatmadja Y., Aimon A., Brandão-Neto J., Dunnett L., Gorrie-Stone T., Skyner R., Fearon D., Schapira M., von Delft F., Gileadi O.
There is currently a lack of effective drugs to treat people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 Non-structural protein 13 (NSP13) has been identified as a target for anti-virals due to its high sequence conservation and essential role in viral replication. Structural analysis reveals two "druggable" pockets on NSP13 that are among the most conserved sites in the entire SARS-CoV-2 proteome. Here we present crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 solved in the APO form and in the presence of both phosphate and a non-hydrolysable ATP analog. Comparisons of these structures reveal details of conformational changes that provide insights into the helicase mechanism and possible modes of inhibition. To identify starting points for drug development we have performed a crystallographic fragment screen against NSP13. The screen reveals 65 fragment hits across 52 datasets opening the way to structure guided development of novel antiviral agents.

Employers will recall that the National Labor Relations Board (the “Board” or “NLRB”) previously held, in Lincoln Lutheran of Racine, 362 NLRB 1655 (2015), that dues checkoff provisions – those requiring employers to deduct union employees’ dues from their pay upon an employee’s consent – are mandatory subjects of bargaining that employers cannot unilaterally discontinue after a collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) expires, unless the CBA terms expressly provide otherwise.
This week, on December 16, 2019, the NLRB reversed Lincoln Lutheran of Racine and returned to the rule established by Bethlehem Steel, 136 NLRB 1500 (1962), holding that a dues checkoff provision did not survive the expiration of the relevant CBA, and that an employer did not violate the National Labor Relations Act by discontinuing its practice of deducting employees’ union dues from their wages over a year after the CBA expired. Valley Hospital Medical Center, 368 NLRB No. 139 (2019). In Valley Hospital Medical Center, the Board majority distinguished dues checkoff provisions from other mandatory subjects of bargaining such as wages benefits, hours, and working conditions that are independent of a CBA’s duration (and typically cannot be changed following the CBA’s expiration absent a lawful impasse), because the latter are not exclusively rooted in a contract and already exist when the bargaining relationship commences. By contrast, because dues checkoff provisions are exclusively established by contract, they are only enforceable under Section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act for the term of the CBA that establishes them, the Board reasoned. The ruling applies retroactively to all pending cases.
Although the Board’s decision permits employers to unilaterally discontinue dues checkoff provisions once a CBA expires, employers should nonetheless be mindful that the terms of their own CBAs may warrant a different approach, and any decision to modify employees’ terms and conditions of employment following the expiration of a CBA warrants careful consideration with counsel. If you have any questions about the Board’s decision or would like additional information, please contact any attorney at the Firm at (212) 758-7600.

BERLIN (AP) — German police raided 15 properties linked to the Last Generation climate activist group Wednesday, seizing assets as part of an investigation into its finances in a sign of growing impatience with disruptive protest tactics also seen in other European countries.
Members of the group have repeatedly blocked roads across Germany in an effort to pressure the government to take more drastic action against climate change. In recent weeks, they have brought traffic to a halt on an almost daily basis in Berlin, gluing themselves to busy intersections and highways. Over the past year, they have also targeted various artworks and exhibits.
The raids, ordered by Munich prosecutors, come days after Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that he thought it was “completely nutty to somehow stick yourself to a painting or on the street.” Leading figures with the environmentalist Green party, part of his governing coalition, have also said the group’s actions are counterproductive.
A spokesperson for Last Generation said that the police searches had hit the group and its supporters hard, but that it wouldn’t let up its activities.
“They make us afraid, but we must not be frozen by fear,” Aimee van Baalen told reporters in Berlin.
“The German government is right now driving us toward climate hell with its eyes wide open. It is even stepping on the gas pedal,” she said. “We must continue to resist now, because we need to loudly demand that lives be protected.”
She called for the public to support upcoming protest marches in Berlin and other German cities.
Last Generation has acknowledged in the past that its protests are provocative, but argues that by stirring friction it can encourage debate within society about climate change and the policies necessary to stop it.
Germany’s top court ruled two years ago that the previous government was placing too much of the burden from global warming on young people, prompting then Chancellor Angela Merkel to sharpen climate targets. Experts say that while Germany now has some of the most ambitious targets for cutting emissions of planet-heating greenhouse gas, the country isn’t on track to meet them.
The investigation by Munich prosecutors is focused on seven people, ranging in age from 22 to 38, who are suspected of forming or supporting a criminal organization. The investigation was launched following numerous criminal complaints from the public over the past year, prosecutors said.
The Bavarian inquiry adds to an investigation launched last year by prosecutors in Neuruppin, outside Berlin, over actions against an oil refinery in eastern Germany. That investigation is also considering suspicions that Last Generation activists formed a criminal organization, a label that some conservative-leaning regional officials have backed.
Munich prosecutors said that the people under investigation are accused of organizing and promoting a campaign to “finance further criminal offenses” by the group, and collecting at least 1.4 million euros ($1.5 million). Two of them also are suspected of trying to sabotage an oil pipeline that connects the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt with the Italian port of Trieste in April 2022.
Wednesday’s searches, accompanied by orders to seize two bank accounts and other assets, aimed to secure evidence on the membership structure of Last Generation and on its financing. There were no arrests.
Another climate activist group, Extinction Rebellion, voiced solidarity with Last Generation. It contended in a tweet that the main aim of conducting raids on suspicion of forming a criminal organization was “to distract attention from the true criminals.”
But Germany’s top security official insisted that the raids were necessary.
“Legitimate protest always ends where crimes are committed and the rights of others are infringed,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said, noting that police registered 1,600 criminal complaints in connection with climate protests in 2022, many of them during road blockades conducted by Last Generation.
Climate activists have received support from various corners, including some Christian groups. A Jesuit priest was fined earlier this month for taking part in road blockades, and Wednesday’s news conference by Last Generation was hosted by the Protestant Reformation Church in Berlin.
A representative of the congregation, Steve Rauhut, praised Last Generation for keeping its protests peaceful.
“The climate disaster and environmental destruction not only justify civil disobedience, they make it an imperative,” he said.
Similar nonviolent climate protests elsewhere in Europe have also met with crackdowns recently.
The U.K. government gave police in England and Wales new powers earlier this month to respond to the disruptive tactics used by climate activists. Protesters who lock themselves together or to buildings or objects can face up to six months in prison. Interfering with railways, airports and refineries could lead to a year behind bars.
Punishments of climate protesters in the U.K. have varied widely to date.
Activists from the group Just Stop Oil who stormed the racetrack at last year’s British Grand Prix Formula 1 race were spared jail sentences. But two men who scaled a highway bridge over the River Thames east of London and unfurled a huge banner, which led to the bridge being closed more than 40 hours, were each sentenced to more than two and a half years in prison.
In Italy, three members of the group Ultima Generazione face up to three years’ imprisonment and fines for gluing their hands to the base of a sculpture in the Vatican Museums and ignoring gendarmes’ orders to leave last year. This week the group staged other protests, including in front of the Italian Senate where two topless women poured mud over themselves in reference to the devastating recent floods in the country.
The Italian group is part of the international A22 activist network, which includes Last Generation in Germany and Britain’s Just Stop Oil, and which receives support from the U.S.-based Climate Emergency Fund.
The fund, which counts oil heiress Aileen Getty and ‘Don’t Look Up’ filmmaker Adam McKay on its board, says on its website that it gave more than $5.1 million to 44 organizations last year “that are leading the way, galvanizing progress on climate through disruptive nonviolent activism around the world.”

Every week CBD’s Editor in Chief Pete DeCourcy asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers, we’ll be doing this for 52 weeks. Tip of the hat goes to the gang at Scans_Daily for the inspiration.
This week however, he tosses it to our resident Comic Book Goddess, Shelley Smarz who asks:
Today’s Question: “Who’s REALLY the most powerful cosmic being in comic books?”
Shelley Smarz (Comic Book Daily’s resident Comic Book Goddess)
For me, it’s the Living Tribunal. It nullified the Infinity Gauntlet with a snap of its fingers and it wipes out entire realities before breakfast. Also, it’s an agent of The One Above All.
Having recently shown that they are connected to the DC Universe, I would say the Endless, specifically Death and or Destiny would be the most powerful. Maybe not in a blast you into smithereens kinda way, but the embodiment of death itself, which none can escape and all are subject to would be the most powerful entity. And then you have Destiny, who was before anything else, and will be there to close his great book upon the final moment of all would be even more powerful. For who could challenge the very fabric of existence, the passage of time.
Or maybe it’s Guy Gardner, he seems to think so.
Chris Owen (Professor of Comic Books History at Hamilton’s Mohawk College and host of The Comic Culture Radio Show.)
Both Shelly and Chris both make compelling arguments. However, I also remembered that Frank Miller tried to make the argument that Plastic Man was the most powerful character in the DC Universe in his second crack at the caped crusader with Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
For me I think that the Marvel version of Death would have to be the most powerful entity. She (as it often takes on the personification of a female) has the power to take resurrect and to take life. As seen in the Thanos Quest, she resurrects Thanos when she feels that the life/death balance is being over run by life.
Chris Howard: THAT’S where that statement about Plas was! I gotta go re-read that. I can’t remember what the reasoning was.
Prof. Chris Owen: Ugh. Just read that part. Don’t waste your time reading the whole thing again.
Anthony Falcone (Writer of Whosoever Holds This Hammer)
While it is slightly cheating (he is not a cosmic being), my answer is Franklin Richards. Omega level mutant with reality warping powers, the son of Sue and Reed can basically do anything.
Maybe he changes the universe so the Living Tribunal can only judge American Idol, maybe he makes Death (any variation) non-existent, or maybe he re-writes history so comic book writers like Miller can’t say asinine things like Plastic Man is the most powerful character ever.
Because his powers can do anything he is only limited by the imagination of the writer.
I win. Check and mate my friends.

Opel is quite proud of the fact that it the first German manufacturer to have responded to the success of the Nissan Juke. In truth it should have held on to the car that little longer to develop it further; the ride is too busy and the engines are not refined enough. At least it looks good.
In the metal
Let's face it; neither the Nissan Juke nor the Skoda Yeti are conventionally good looking cars, so it is not too difficult to better the class leaders in that department. Despite having to share its basic body style with the Americans (the Mokka is sold as both a Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax in the States), the Opel stylists worked their magic to create a striking looking car. Opel hallmarks like 'eagle-eye' headlights and the 'signature blade' on either flank are present and correct while the new car sits between the Juke and Yeti in terms of overall footprint. Designed for urbanites it is closer to the Yeti's 'cute and cuddly' looks than the quirky and adventurous Juke. Inside, the Mokka reverts to Opel form with a shrunken version of the dashboard familiar to Astra and Insignia drivers - along with the button fest that makes up the centre console. Why Opel persists with a layout that is more complicated than NASA HQ is unclear, but persist it has - at least it is familiar at this point. Abundance of buttons aside the interior is spacious for a car of this size with room in the rear for a couple of six-footers and a 362-litre boot (that grows to 1,372 litres with the rear seats folded) on offer. The back seats only fold 60:40 so they are not as versatile as those in the Yeti, but match the Juke at least.
The Mokka is based on General Motors' new Gamma II platform that already underpins the Chevrolet Aveo, forthcoming Opel Adam and the next generation Corsa. It is also the platform for the US-centric Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax, and while the Opel engineers had free rein to dial the chassis in for European roads it seems there were limits to what could be achieved.
While body roll is commendably kept in check by the wide track, the overall ride quality is below what is expected of this segment. Opel claims the Mokka has been developed with the urban jungle in mind, yet the suspension is unsettled by the smallest ripple in the road (and we had to search for them on our predominantly German autobahn test route) with larger imperfections being particularly poorly received in the cabin. The Mokka's urban profile also makes for light steering that offers little in the way of feedback.
On the road the 1.7-litre diesel engine is noisy and unrefined with noise levels - though not speeds - increasing the harder you press the accelerator; it sounds more suited to a commercial vehicle than a consumer one. The one positive for the diesel unit is low emissions of 120g/km, thanks in no small part to the stop-start system that is standard across the range. In front-wheel drive guise and mated to a manual transmission the CDTi unit can return 4.5 litres/100km.
What you get for your money
On paper the Mokka's starting price of €19,995 is comparable with the diesel Nissan Juke and undercuts the Skoda Yeti by some €3,000. However, five euro short of 20 grand will only buy you the 1.6-litre 115hp petrol engine in entry level S trim. To access the more powerful 1.4 turbo, 1.6-litre diesel or four-wheel drive you have to spend at least €23,995 for the mid-spec SC trim. For your investment you are rewarded with 18-inch alloys, parking sensors front and rear, digital radio with Bluetooth and USB connectivity and dual-zone climate control. Top spec SE trim adds heated leather seats, bi-Xenon headlights, tinted windows and some interior upgrades. Whether you opt for a front- or four-wheel drive Mokka, all models come equipped with Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control as standard.
Walk into a Nissan dealer with €24k to spend and you could drive off in a Juke with every bell and whistle imaginable and even a Skoda Yeti, while more expensive, is available with a more frugal and refined 1.6-litre TDI engine.
In addition to the front-wheel drive diesel model we also had the chance to drive the 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol 4x4 version. With the Mokka's 157mm of ground clearance it certainly looks as if it could handle a bit of rutted mud with ease, though unfortunately we were not allowed to try it out for ourselves. The Mokka uses an 'on demand' four-wheel drive system with up to fifty per cent of the power being sent to the rear wheels when required but defaulting to front-wheel drive when not.
Taken just on its looks the Opel Mokka is a sure-fire winner; it is distinctive, funky and perfectly attuned to the urbanites Opel is targeting. As a whole package however the mini-SUV falls short. The ride is too choppy, engines unrefined and interior below par. While the headline price is good the one Irish buyers would actually plumb for faces stiff competition from proven rivals.

“I’m just a grubby farm kid,” says Rubie Simonsen, who at the time is wearing crisp red pants paired with the clean lines of a striped black and white sweater. Despite the polished look she wears for her full-time nonprofit job, Simonsen’s passion is playing in nature, picking flowers and herbs, and getting her hands dirty. Her ultimate goal is to become a farmer.
Last year, Simonsen completed the seven-month California Farm Academy program through Center for Land-Based Learning, a nonprofit with the mission that educates future generations of farmers, agricultural leaders and natural resource stewards. The program addresses one of America’s most pressing problems: a loss of farmers.
For every 1 farmer over age 25, there’s 5 over age 75, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. America’s farmers are aging out of the business that feeds us, and Center for Land-Based Learning is focused on resolving this problem before it’s too late. To date, they have trained 96 future farmers, 17 of whom have purchased their own land and started farms.
Simonsen didn’t join the California Farm Academy program to save farming, however. Most trainees don’t. They join for personal reasons. Simonsen was working in Sacramento on food access issues when she started the program. Her journey started as curiosity: She had grown up on farms in Idaho and Sacramento, but in her food policy work, felt the farmer’s voice was missing.
This political journey quickly turned into a personal journey for Simonsen. As she toured farms, a theme repeated itself: “Farm what you love.”
Simonsen recalls childhood days spent playing in her grandmother’s herb garden. She and her sisters would pick herbs to cover cuts and scrapes, or add them to empty vitamin capsules. As children, she says they believed in magic, and were empowered to heal themselves with nature.
Creativity also flourished in her grandmother’s garden. Simonsen was allowed to mix garden herbs with her grandma’s mortar and pestle. They turned flowers into bookmarks and other crafts. Her grandma also made peach jam and boutonnieres for friends’ weddings.
“The training put those experiences in a catalog for me,” Simonsen says. “All those connections and memories became more useful.”
Through her training, Simonsen created a business plan, and four months ago, launched a crowdfunding campaign to kick off her business: First Mother Farms. To date, she has raised $5,000. The farm’s aim is to “inspire plant-based wellness through the sustainable farming of herbs and native weeds,” according to the website.
Simonsen wants to carry on the tradition of growing herbs, which she’ll turn into tonics for cocktails, teas and other products. She plans to make cold visits to local restaurant bars to find customers as she develops her business. She will also sell through a community supported agriculture subscription that Center for Land-Based Learning has created for a West Sacramento apartment complex.
Last weekend, Simonsen and her younger sister planted her first crop — lavender. Simonsen is leasing an eighth of an acre space on one of Center for Land-Based Learning’s incubator plots in West Sacramento.
According to Mary Kimball, the nonprofit’s executive director, these lots are essential to aiding beginning farmers. Startup costs, including land, create a significant barrier to new farmers. For someone like Simonsen, who holds down a traditional nine-to-five job, having access to a small, one-eighth acre farm, allows her a realistic entry into the profession. Through the nonprofit, she’ll receive support from mentors and staff, as well as access to tools, irrigation and storage, for an affordable rental fee.
Simonsen is grateful for the opportunity to start in a low-risk plot. Her most significant investment right now is her time. If she needs to farm during the week, that means waking up at four o’clock in the morning before going to her administrative office job.
“I don’t want to overcommit,” she says. “I don’t want contracts. This is a branding year.”
Despite the challenges, Simonsen is committed to making her new farm business a success. It’s personal. Two months ago, Simonsen lost both her grandmother and her father to a car accident. This recent trauma compounds a lengthy eight-year battle with post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from a violent relationship.
“Farming has helped me keep sane and heal from my past,” Simonsen says. “This farm is a personal investment in myself.”
Kimball says healing from trauma is becoming a more common story in farming; the farm academy has trained veterans, who also say that being outside, working with the earth, helps them recover while staying connected to community.
Simonsen says her business is “more than just a farm.” While she works on her own healing by growing herbs, she also plans to donate ten percent of anything she earns to WEAVE to help other women rebuild themselves.

Some people have a complex life and that avoids them from participating in our live or distance guided workshops.
Even tho, they still have interest to work on their inner growth with the tools we offer, at their own pace inside their possibilities.
This is why we offer self-learning modules that open the
door to work by your own.
Begin when you like
Duration: Work at your pace
Experiential workshop to explore by yourself
Work modules to advance at your own pace
It's up to you
Space Limited to: Yourself
WITHOUT A GUIDE
To work without a guide, in solitary is very difficult, it requires of discipline and responsibility, a capacity to make n unbreakable commitments with yourself. if you don´t count with these elements we frankly don't recommend to embark in this alternative, especially if you are living a life with many commitments or distractions.
Self-learning modules can be taken together as a spherical unit, which is the complete "Tribe Workshop" we also offer in modules containing defined areas. This modules can also be done separately if there is interest in exploring only certain areas.
THE WORK PROPOSAL
Our self learning proposal is the "TRIBE WORKSHOP" which we offer as distance guided work via Internet, but in a lone warrior version. This work is designed to be done inside the participant's everyday's life as a work place, the problems wished to be solved are happening right there, you can't find better gym to address them.
The difference in the self-learning format is that you don´t work with a group or coordinators. You decide how much you want, or can work, your set your own deadline dates to finish your work plans. The sets of instructions we deliver are a suggested map to complete each module in three months; the full workshop in one year long, but the self-learning frame opens the possibility to use time freely, and adapt it the way it best fits the participant's schedules. You might be able to complete it in less time, but you might want to take longer.
If you are not interested in the full set of four modules, you can also choose the modules you are interested in as separated units as you might only have interest in one, or two subjects.
BOOKING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE
If at any moment you need help, you can schedule a session with a coordinator to work together by video conferencing, or phone. This service has a cost per hour. Booking has to be made with anticipation.
VISION QUEST PREPARATION
THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS ARE EXPLORED
Toltec knowledge is a spherical unit that can be better understood by separating it in themes.
During the workshops we explore special exercises, and techniques that bring awareness about each subject, each activity contains several elements together. Only through direct experience is that this profound consciousness tools are understood, the crystalline and silent awareness that only arrives this way. Eventually all the apparently separated parts are understood in the way they are all part of each other, and then become a unit.
Recover Asleep Parts of the Own Awareness:
Rescuing forgotten parts, or still hidden areas of consciousness and reach the human
potential that comes interacting with nature.
Special Attention Management:
Techniques and procedures to re-direct, and guide your attention in the
most efficient ways.
Tools and specialized actions to learn how to stop wasting energy, saving it and redirecting
in in more efficient and healthier ways.
Fundamental foundation for success, to manifest the deepest wishes of the heart
into realities. Learn how special efforts are the paths to transcend beyond personal limits,
to access and awaken your full potential still asleep.
Connect with the Powers of Nature:
Open a lucid relationship with the "Poderios"
(Conscious elements and forces that form life)
Connect with Power Places:
Work with the consciousness and energy of special places, as a support for personal
betterment. Learn to be catapulted by their high energy. Establish lasting connections
with Nature that will remain alive from that moment on.
Selfish behavior is avoided by helping others, while receiving help as well;
fundamental in the battle against the ego. This is a constant dynamic we explore and work
with during every of our workshops.
Recovering Inner Balance:
A foundation for a healthy personality. Learn to stalk yourself, discover and be aware,
of how much energy things need, how much is wasted in unnecessary things, and how to
act in an efficient and healthy way. Find the ways to use only the necessary amount of
time, and energy, each thing requires, no less, no more.
This balance is known as the art of impeccability.
Deep cleansing and ordering of personal history, restructuring the way energy was used
along personal history. A technique to recover wasted energy, and to disassemble made up
stories from the past, that shaped and trapped the individual in the mold of personality,
and producing suffering and energy leaks
The deep understanding of the ego's mechanisms, and routines, teaches to loosen it' s
structure and eradicate inner pain. Learning how to stalk it (sharp self observation),
transform the challenge into a map to transcend oneself, by what is learned from it,
instead of assuming it's a negative part of your mind. In such fashion it's the best teacher
you can find to transcend the actual state.
Learn to design strategies, and action plans; purposeful acts to create the needed reality
and consequences. Awaken your conscious creativity.
Work with Nature:
Connection with the spirit of life, the relationship of it all with yourself, a guide to be able
to achieve objectives. Make real commitments in fromt of life to work on your betterment
knowing once made the only choice you have to to make them real.
The work is permanently rooted with life forces; with Grandfather Fire, Mother Earth,
Mother Water, Mountains, Forests, Brother Trees, Animals and group companions;
with the essence of life in general.
Enjoying the Moment:
Last but not least important, to enjoy and find oneself in deep and joyful ways with oneself,
with the beauty and power of unique and magical moments, with nature, other people and
opportunities to exist, and this way and try to incorporate it in your everyday life.
This happens while traveling through places full of magic,
hidden from the eyes of the common visitor.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
If you are tired of the inertia of your routines, the repetitive prison of the intellect (ego) and its emotional weight, and you don't want to waste more life time, and energy in there. If you are thirsty for freedom, knowing you are going to die at some point, but you want to enjoy your life, and developed yourself as far as you could possibly go.
Then this could very well be a good set of tools for your development and transcendence.
What the workshops are useful for:
Get out of a crisis, and use it to catapult your success.
Change habits, and leave wasting routines behind. To finish with addictions.
Learn how to use your time and energy more efficiently. Save, and redirect your energy.
Heal your past; forgive yourself and others. Clean your relationships. Detach to move forward.
Re-direct your life to a better direction. Find healthier, and happier ways to live, and relate to others.
Awaken consciousness and lucidity. Begin walking a path with a heart.
Explore into a profound consciousness and lucidity, that will make your life experience rich and purposeful.
Build a spiritual relationship with yourself, and life.
Learn the art of the Path Of The Heart.
The workshops give access to learn and have direct experience on the most practical Toltec tools and techniques, to work on the self. You can teach yourself specialized ways of acting, and open portals to freedom that hardly close again. Explore yourself in detail, create the changes you need, based on your own conscious takeovers, manifest your dreams, and heart wishes into realities through special purposeful actions, find the courage and strength to walk the path towards personal freedom.
Finally, we all face death alone, in that unavoidable portal, it will be important to be standing on a solid consciousness, to face the portal to total freedom, in the best attitude possible, as lucid, and impeccable, as our personal power allows us.
If any of this resonates with you, then this work may be useful for you.
A LIFE CHANGING PORTAL
Our most complete profound and powerful workshop/journey, where we have carefully selected the nest techniques and tools from the Toltec world and vanguard psychology to advance the fastest possible. After this work your life will never be the same. A portal to personal transcendence.
TRIBE CLOSING (Optional) The perfect way to close the year Tribe Workshop. Finish digesting, clear out any doubts, test the things you learned.
Prepare yourself to begin a healthier and new way of living. Begin a Path with a Heart.

Luca Prete provided the audience with background information on the object/effect debate. In the 1960s, the Court of Justice issued important rulings like Consten and Grundlig (Joint Cases 56 and 58/64) or Société Technique Minière (Case 56/65). Some of the elements we are debating now were already mentioned to some extent in these cases. At the time, most authors thought that the object/effect divide related to the subjective intent of infringers. However, the Court of Justice soon clarified that the undertakings’ subjective motivation was not a decisive element in comparison with the objective purpose of an agreement. In fact, ambiguity has long prevailed regarding the difference between object and effect restrictions. In the early 2000s, Professor Whish considered that the case law was confused and confusing.

Some of the best financial tips we can get are from learning from others around us. TLC has taken that to the next level with the educational and sometimes cringe-inducing “Extreme Cheapskates,” where people save insane amounts of money in equally insane ways. Find out how to have a fun and cheap movie night at home. You can have a great time on a budget.
Entertainment for Less- Movie Time
There are many ways to save money when going to a movie. The average movie date, with tickets at $12 and popcorn and soda at $10, can cost nearly $50 for a couple. Here are a few ways to enjoy a movie without the exorbitant costs:
- Rent a movie. There are so many ways to access movie rentals. If you pay for a service like Netflix or Amazon Prime, use that to your advantage. You can also rent movies through your cable service provider. At $5.99 each, you’ll be able to enjoy great movies from the comfort of your home.
- Take advantage of discount nights. Many movie theaters will offer a discounted Tuesday night, for example. They may also offer promotions through Facebook or other social sites. It’s a great way to see a movie while working on debt management.
- Eat snacks at home. We would never advocate smuggling snacks in, as that’s against the rules of most theaters, but you can fill up before the movie at home. Two hours without a snack won’t kill you. Studies show that eating while watching TVs or movies often causes unintended overeating. You’ll save yourself a lot of calories and cash this way.
- See a matinee. Earlier movie times in the day are often at reduced price.
- See the movie in good old-fashioned 2D. Do you really need to have 3D effects? You’ll save a few bucks on each ticket by seeing it without the funny glasses.
- Go to a discount movie theater. While they may not have the newest releases, discount movie theaters show movies that were recently in theaters but not yet quite available for rent. These theaters are often half the price of regular theaters. Bonus: The concessions are usually cheaper as well.
Your budget and date will thank you for a wonderful time at a cheaper price. Enjoy the movie!

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ameritrade–SmartMetric, Inc. (OTCQB: SMME) card fraud losses reached $27.85 billion in 2018, up 16.2% from $23.97 billion in 2017. Consumer research commissioned by SmartMetric shows that nearly 60% of existing credit card users would pay for a credit card that has built-in-the-card biometric security. The research shows that the single biggest motivator for consumers to embrace biometric technology on their credit cards is the real fear of card-based fraud.
With all the talk of mobile phones replacing credit and debit cards, the reality shows that consumers prefer to use cards over mobile phones. There are now 22.11 billion credit, debit, and prepaid cards in circulation worldwide as of December 31, 2018. It is projected that there will be 29.31 billion credit, debit and pre-paid cards over the next five years.
Purchases of goods and services using credit, debit, and prepaid cards issued in the U.S. are projected to reach $10.086 trillion in 2023.
The SmartMetric biometric fingerprint activated Debit and Credit Card has a nano fingerprint scanner built inside the card which is used to scan the card holder’s fingerprint when they touch the card. The card user’s fingerprint is pre-stored inside the card and matched with the card user’s fingerprint every time the card is used. Each fingerprint scan and match takes less then a quarter of a second allowing for “frictionless” biometric card activation.
“If you aren’t the user then simply your card’s contact and contactless chip will not work, only you can turn on your card using your biometrics as the turn-on key,” said today SmartMetric’s President and CEO, Chaya Hendrick.
The United States has more than 842 million credit and debit cards as of the last quarter of 2018. The world total of chip-based Credit and Debit Cards is now more than 8.2 billion cards. This is an increase of over a billion Credit and Debit Cards from the previous year.
Using the SmartMetric miniaturized fingerprint scanner technology, SmartMetric has now brought biometric security technology to the now all-pervasive Credit and Debit Card.
SmartMetric holds issued patents and patents pending on its technology. Years of research and development have now culminated in a world class leading product in the biometric IOT space.
SmartMetric is a USA based company with sales and marketing partnerships in Latin America, Europe the United Stated. Engineering of the biometric card electronics is done in-house and is the owned intellectual property of the company.

Could you recognize this rare vulvar condition?
A 38-year-old nulligravid woman has experienced worsening itchy and uncomfortable vulvar lesions over seven years. Initially, the lesions were small and scant. She was clinically diagnosed with genital warts, but various topical agents failed to stop the growth and spread of the lesions. She had never tested positive for HPV. Her medical history is significant for obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, and asthma. Exam showed thick, rough, pink, and white warty projections along the mons and labia majora with mild underlying edema. The rest of the vulvar exam was normal.
Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) or microcystic lymphatic malformation presents as clusters of pseudo-vesicles usually on the labia majora or mons pubis. The blisters contain serous or slightly-blood tinged fluid. In 1975, Moschelia et al. described the clinical presentation of this condition as one resembling “frog spawn.”1 LC can occur on the abdomen, axillae, genitalia, and mouth.2 In addition to the blistering, the vulva may be swollen and painful.3
The diagnosis of LC is made by biopsy. A Keyes punch biopsy should be sufficient. We recommend an accompanying photograph for your pathologist to review as well. On histology, LC shows dilated lymphatics in the epidermis and the papillary dermis. The dilated lymphatics contain red and white blood cells.4
When considering LC as a diagnosis, it is important to include infectious causes such as condylomata acuminata, molluscum contagiosum, and pelvic tuberculosis in your differential diagnoses. Similarly, lymphedema can manifest in patients with cutaneous Crohn disease and those with a history of pelvic cancers who have undergone surgery and pelvic radiation.
LC is a benign lymphatic malformation characterized by dilation of lymphatic vessels in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. There are two types of disease: congenital and acquired. Congenital LC usually appears soon after birth, whereas the acquired version occurs later in life. Acquired LC is found more commonly on the vulvar region.4 The exact etiology of either type is unknown.
Interestingly, LC can be identified in patients with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS). KTS is a relatively rare congenital vascular anomaly classically defined as the triad of vascular stain, venous varicosities, soft tissue, and/or bony hypertrophy. Many cases of KTS are mixed malformations with capillary, lymphatic, and venous elements.5
Traditionally, the treatment of LC is surgical excision. We recommend 0.5 cm margins laterally around the disease. It is important to excise all of the tissue down to the fascia6 unless a skin graft is being performed. In this situation, a small amount of fat needs to remain for the skin graft to “take.” Often, a flap is required.
Therefore, collaboration with a plastic surgeon and/or referral for management in these situations may be needed. Other treatments that have been proposed are laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and cryosurgery.7 The recurrence rate is directly proportional to the original lesion size. Surgical excision has a lower risk of recurrence compared to other methods.7 However, due to the nature of LC, it will tend to recur if the original lesion is not fully excised.6,8
LC is not thought to have an isolated cancer risk but could be related to underlying cancer recurrence.9 However, Bae et al. identified a case series of 2 out of 16 patients with existing HPV-related cervical cancer who demonstrated new vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia in vulvar LC.10 Appropriate evaluation with the patient’s oncologist should be considered in this setting.
Finally, patients may have some concerns about their personal appearance with this condition and any psychosocial concerns should be addressed.

Salad Niçoise is a popular salad that originated in Nice in the south of France designed to take advantage of the abundance of tuna that is fished in the Mediterranean. Combined with steamed potatoes, green beans, hard boiled eggs and Niçoise olives it makes a flavor packed meal. Even though the traditional recipe uses tuna this salad also adapts easily to different interpretations.
This recipe uses poached fresh salmon instead of canned tuna, and the preparation of the meal is greatly simplified by using the steam oven. Instead of individual saucepans to cook each component the salmon, potatoes, eggs and green beans are all steamed simultaneously in the steam oven.
The potatoes, eggs and green beans can all be steamed in the large perforated oven pan while the salmon is steamed in a small solid oven pan. If your oven doesn’t have a small stainless pan any oven safe container will work.
Steaming & Poaching Ideal Cooking Techniques for Superior Flavor and Texture
Foods cooked in steam have noticeably better flavor, texture and nutrient value and even though we are using the Steam mode to prepare this meal the vegetables and eggs are actually being cooked by a different method to the salmon. The vegetables and eggs are cooked in the perforated pan allowing the steam to circulate around them and cook them through. This technique is similar to placing a perforated pan over boiling water and covering the pan with a lid.
The benefit of steaming in a steam oven is that the oven maintains a consistent temperature throughout the steaming process and foods can be easily added or removed depending on the individual cooking time.
The salmon is also cooked in the Steam mode however in this case the steam is used to gently poach the fish. The fish is poached in a solid pan with a little water, lemon slices and seasoning which add flavor to the fish as it poaches gently in the steam. This technique is similar to placing the fish on a perforated tray in a fish poacher and covering it with a lid. A gentle consistent temperature is key to successfully poaching fish so again the steam oven provides the ideal environment.
How to Use a Steam Oven for Easy Meal Preparation
This recipe perfectly illustrates how easy it is to cook multiple foods at one time in a steam oven instead of using a separate saucepan to cook each one. Success when cooking multiple foods at one time begins with planning. Basically once you calculate the cooking time for the items that take the longest you can add the other items towards the end of the cooking time or cook them once the longer cooking items are removed from the oven.
In this recipe the potatoes and eggs cook within the same time frame, but the potatoes need to cool prior to being combined with the dressing; and other ingredients and the eggs need to sit in cold water for at least 5 minutes before the shells can be removed. The green beans will take approximately 6 minutes to steam and the salmon depending on the thickness will take approximately 10 minutes.
What makes this process easy is the fact that no temperature adjustment is required, once the steam oven is set to the steam mode all you have to do is add the food and set the timer. An added benefit to cooking in the steam oven is that the stainless steel cooking containers require minimal clean-up and are easily washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
If you are looking for a delicious dessert that uses a bounty of summer fruits and can easily be cooked as part of a Convection meal, then check out my next post. The benefit of learning how to make effective use of your convection and steam ovens is that meal preparation becomes easier and cooking results improve as you take advantage of the features of these ovens.

Throw away your patch!
What Is Amblyopia?
Amblyopia (sometimes called lazy eye) is the brain's failure to see with an otherwise healthy eye. The loss of vision, being in the brain, cannot be fully corrected with glasses.
1) You cannot treat amblyopia after age 6:
The fact is that amblyopia can be treated in both children and adults. There are gold standard studies showing that significant gains may be found in teenagers. There are numerous case reports of adults being treated by "perceptual learning," a form of vision therapy. As long ago as 1977, a literature review showed that the chances of getting four lines of improvement (20/80 to 20/70 to 20/60 to 20/50 to 20/40 for example) was 50 percent whether treatment was performed before age 7 or after age 16. At Cook Vision Therapy we have been treating amblyopia for the past 30 years in both children and adults.
2) Full Time Patching is Required:
The fact is that at Cook Vision Therapy we have not full-time patched school age children at home for the last 30 years. It is not necessary. Gold standard studies now show that 6 hours a day of patching is as effective as 12 hours a day. Two hours a day of patching while playing video games is as effective as 6 hours of passive patching. In our office, we prescribe intensive therapy at the very limits of performance for no more than 25 minutes a day (usually 10 minutes).
3) Amblyopia Is a One-eyed Problem:
The fact is that amblyopia is generally a problem of two-eyed seeing. Because the eyes do not work together, the brain reduces seeing in one eye to reduce interference between the two eyes. Patching an eye to improve acuity in one eye generally does not correct the two-eyed problem. As a result, when the patch is no longer worn, the vision is again lost in the "amblyopic" eye.
The real loss with amblyopia, however, is not just that sight is reduced when the good eye is covered. Amblyopia can reduce 3D vision and performance for everything in life. The brain continues to shut off the amblyopia eye even when both eyes are open. Sometimes children become very good at seeing with one eye. Sometimes not. All 7 Visual Abilities remain poor.
For the last hundred years, the main treatment for amblyopia has been simply patching the "good" eye. When the patch is removed, the brain frequently continues to shut off the amblyopic eye; vision is once more lost. Patching may have to be repeated again and again--for years.
At Cook Vision Therapy Center, we treat both children and adults with amblyopia. We do not patch except for brief periods of intense stimulation of the amblyopic eye. We also use 3D vision therapy to train the brain to use the eyes together. When successful, therapy improves both 3D vision and the vision in the amblyopic eye, the gains hold.

Delicious Warming Squash Soup
1 tsp coconut oil
1 yellow onion (diced)
1 garlic clove (peeled and crushed)
½ fresh red chili (seeded and chopped)
1-2 fresh green chilies (seeded and chopped)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp ground coriander
1 small butternut squash (peeled and chopped)
1 – 14 oz can full-fat coconut milk
2 large carrots (peeled and chopped)
Pink Himalayan salt or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 handfuls of cilantro (one to add at step 2 in directions below and one to serve)
Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and gently cook the diced onion for about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, chilis, cumin, thyme, coriander (in her book, Niomi has a typo right here, it says to add the cilantro instead of coriander, so when I first made this soup I added both and am glad I did! The cilantro cooked in is wonderful), ½ the cilantro (chopped), and cook for another minute. Pour in 5 cups boiling water; add the squash, carrots, and coconut milk (if you want to serve with a drizzle at the end, save a little); and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. At this point you can season with salt and pepper and serve with fresh cilantro leaves and a drizzle of the remaining coconut milk.
I like to pour the blended soup into my crockpot, season with salt and pepper (this is important as the flavors come together when you season at the end verses during the process, so don’t be discouraged if you taste beforehand in it seems a little bland, it’ll all come together!); then set the crockpot on warm and let those flavors meld together overnight. Absolutely, D-E-L-I-S-H!
This recipe makes 4 servings, it can easily be put in the freezer for later, too, if you want to make a double batch or are eating for 1 or 2!
I hope you all enjoy this fabulous soup as much as I do!
All my best in health and wellness,

In its first month of existence, Corruption Watch received 500 complaints from the public, the organisation said yesterday.
Complaints about municipalities, traffic officers and the health sector featured the most prominently, according to a statement. Corruption Watch was started as a non-profit organisation by Cosatu in January.
Less than half the reported cases fell within its mandate. About a third of the cases involved industrial relations and consumer issues, such as misconduct by lawyers, municipal mismanagement, and business- to-business fraud and consumer grievances – especially about banks.
The remaining 25 percent of cases were not easy to categorise. Corruption Watch also received service delivery complaints.
It is investigating various allegations of corruption and is to release a report next month on corruption in the Joburg metro police department.
The public can report cases by visiting www.corruptionwatch.org.za. Or sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.org or sending an SMS to 45142.
This article was recently published in the Cape Argus on 12 March 2012.

Can your child be who God made him to be and still be loved by you? Unconditional acceptance of your child is a major ingredient in his healthy view of himself. But to accept your child unconditionally isn’t as easy as it may seem on the surface.
What does unconditional acceptance mean? It basically means you accept the totality of who he is. He or she has a physical body which means you must care for him and nourish that body until he can adequately care for himself.
For example, some folks”love” babies at a distance; they are repulsed by dirty diapers and other messes they make. Accepting your child unconditionally also means you must accept and adapt to their emotional, social and intellectual immaturity.
Another critical part of unconditional love is to accept your child’s gender. You may have “ordered” a girl and got a boy. What do you do with that? The healthy and loving thing to do is to be happy and celebrate what God gave you.
You do yourself and your child a great disservice by denying reality and secretly wishing for a different result or, even worse, openly stating your displeasure with the child’s gender. Do not allow your child’s gender to affect the way you treat your him/her. It’s amazing how little children can pick up on the feelings of their parents. So, be careful.
Your unconditional love accepts your child as a work in progress. He needs to grow physically and in all other aspects of his life. While you accept him for where he is now, you also accept him for what he can become. That love creates an environment which challenges and encourages him to grow.
He is acceptable but his bad behavior and attitude are not. As your child grows, incorporate loving discipline which will guide him to a more mature handling of his feeling and actions.
Unconditional acceptance will create in you a healthy tension between accepting him for where he is and his need to continually grow toward maturity.

Decision No. 14,148
Appeal of MAXINE DAVIS from action of the Board of Education of the Westport Central School District and Pamela Raudenbaush with respect to the termination of her services as a school psychologist and to her right to reinstatement.
Decision No. 14,148
(June 23, 1999)
James R. Sandner, Esq., attorney for petitioner, Kevin H. Harren, Esq., of counsel
Ferrara, Fiorenza, Larrison, Barrett & Reitz, PC, attorneys for respondents, Susan T. Johns and Norman H. Gross, Esqs., of counsel
MILLS, Commissioner.--Petitioner seeks to annul an action of the Board of Education of the Westport Central School District ("board") taken July 24, 1997, appointing respondent Pamela Raudenbaush as a part time elementary counselor. Petitioner demands employment in that position, together with back pay and benefits. The appeal must be dismissed.
Prior to the 1995-1996 school year, petitioner was employed as a full time school psychologist at Westport. During the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 school years, petitioner served as Westport's school psychologist in a part-time, 60 percent position.
On March 6, 1997, the board abolished the part-time school psychologist position occupied by petitioner, effective at the end of the 1996-1997 school year. At its March 27, 1997 meeting, the board approved the creation of a "part time elementary counselor" for the 1997-1998 school year. At that same meeting, the board also determined to contract with a school psychologist on a per diem basis to perform psychological testing services for the district to the extent such services became necessary.
Petitioner applied for the part-time elementary counselor position, but on July 24, 1997, the board appointed respondent Pamela Raudenbaush to that position to work 20 hours per week.
Petitioner brings this appeal, claiming that the newly created part-time elementary counselor position and her previous part-time school psychologist position are legally similar, and that she is, therefore, entitled to the elementary counselor position pursuant to Education Law ""2510(1) and 3013(1). Respondents deny that the positions are similar, and argue that they are in different certification and tenure areas. Respondents further argue that petitioner does not have the proper certification to occupy the newly created elementary counselor position and that the appeal is untimely.
I find that the appeal must be dismissed as moot. On November 14, 1997, the board replaced the part-time elementary counselor position with a full time elementary counselor position, in the tenure area of school counseling and guidance, and appointed respondent Raudenbaush to a probationary appointment in that new position effective December 8, 1997. Petitioner subsequently brought a separate appeal with respect to the new full time elementary counselor position, which is still pending.
The part-time elementary counselor position to which petitioner seeks appointment in this appeal no longer exists, and no meaningful relief can be granted with respect to it. It is well settled that the Commissioner of Education will only decide matters in actual controversy and will not render a decision upon facts which no longer exist or which subsequent events have laid to rest (Appeal of Angelo, 38 Ed Dept Rep ____, Decision No. 14,147; Appeal of Meltzer, 38 Ed Dept Rep 330, Decision No. 14,046; Appeal of Lascala, 38 id. 16, Decision No. 13,974; Appeal of Schuler, 37 id. 512, Decision No. 13,915; Appeal of Lawson, 36 id. 450, Decision No. 13,774).
THE APPEAL IS DISMISSED.

Learn how to design your spanish colonial house interior. You will learn the history and influence of Spanish colonial houses, explore examples of gorgeous homes, and get inspiration on how you can authentically re-create the look!
If you’ve spent any time in warm-climate states like California or Florida, you’ve no doubt come across a Spanish Colonial revival. These homes are architecturally captivating, often set apart by stark white facades and red roof tiles.
These days, when someone mentions a “Spanish Colonial” they’re probably referring to a Spanish-style home from the revival era. Spanish revivals draw inspiration from the traditional Spanish Colonial homes built by Spanish settlers. These revivals have been turning heads since the beginning of the 20th century. While there’s no exact blueprint for a Spanish revival home, they all express an eclectic take on the historic Spanish Colonial architecture.
It’s not uncommon to be at a loss when decorating these homes. With all their beauty and quirk comes some interior dilemmas. Consequently, this special architecture calls for a curated design style all of its own.
The most important step when designing a Spanish Colonial house interior is to first understand its origins.
Sound daunting? Not to worry. We’ll provide the background info and lend a few helpful design tips to inspire you towards Spanish-style greatness.
History of Spanish Colonial Homes
Spanish settlers built Spanish Colonial homes in the U.S. from the 1600s through the mid-1800s. Builders constructed homes more simply to meet demands but mirrored some aspects from the design of their native land. In general, they kept things subtle and streamlined.
Design experts say Spanish Colonials are “one with their environment.” They’re usually one-story buildings made with materials like adobe or coquina. White stucco covers the thick walls, and the structures feature small windows with no glass, only wooden shutters.
Surprisingly, Spanish builders left the homes uncompleted. They built more rooms over time, resulting in funky L-shaped houses. Since they settled in such intense climates, the homes needed to stand up to direct sun and high heat. Luckily, the thick walls would absorb the heat of the day and provide warmth during cooler nights.
Curious to see some real life examples? Head down to St. Augustine, Florida– America’s oldest settlement. Spanish homes and buildings cover the city. It is a must-see for any architecture buffs!
Spanish Colonial Revivals: Where the Craze Started
Spanish Revival houses are all in the name. These homes are a fresh take on the older colonial style, also influenced by Mediterranean and Moorish styles.
(Historical design inspires revival style. They often mix and match various styles and incorporate some modern elements.)
The Spanish Revival period began in the early 20th century as part of a broader movement. As a whole, Americans began showing more interest in their colonial roots. This included Spanish-style architecture, as it played a big part in the country’s early development. Its popularity skyrocketed around 1915 after the Panama-California Exposition. Architect Bertram Goodhue designed the event’s entire layout in the Spanish Revival style, and guests from around the country fell in love!
Finally, the lightning-fast growth of the film industry in California helped spread awareness of the style, catapulting its popularity even further. Spanish-style houses began popping up all over the country, although the highest concentration remained in Florida, California and the Southwest. The heart of this revival period continued through 1940.
Overall, this revival period was more about an appreciation for the specific style rather than simply fulfilling boring utilitarian purposes. Revivals are often two stories tall, built completely from the get-go
Characteristics of a Spanish Revival Home
Spanish revivals are a classic mix of beauty and simplicity. They have provided the foundation for the “California casual” style that is so popular today. These homes boast a welcoming comfortable atmosphere that makes you want to hang out and relax.
A Spanish Colonial revival may be right for you if you can commit to a single decorating style. If your tastes change by the month, there won’t be a lot of wiggle room in an exotic home like this. On the other hand– if you love the idea of emphasizing oodles of built-in charm, this could be your perfect fit.
Spanish revival features at a glance
- Asymmetrical structure
- Low-pitched or hipped roofs
- Arched windows and doors
- Courtyard or other outdoor living spaces
- White stucco facade over adobe/coquina rock
- Red tile roofs
- Wooden beams
- Dark wood, or red/brown tile floors
- Arched doorways and nooks
- Wrought ironwork
Building materials and architectural features
Perhaps the most significant feature of Spanish revivals is the eye-catching red tile roof. The tiles slant downward and the roofs are typically low-pitched or hipped.
Like the original Spanish Colonial homes, white stucco covers the exterior walls. This gives the house an interesting textural appearance. Depending on the age of the home, they may be made with adobe brick or coquina rock. Alternatively, newer homes use more modern materials to give the same look.
In general, Spanish revivals are asymmetrical. If you see a Spanish-looking home with a very symmetrical structure, it’s more likely a Mediterranean design.
You’ll also find dark wooden beams along the length of the ceiling, sometimes mirroring the color of the hardwood floors. (Tile floors are common, too.)
Another important aspect of these homes is outdoor living. There is plenty of space to enjoy time outside to relax and enjoy nature. In the original Spanish Colonial homes, families used courtyards as overflow cooking areas to keep the home from getting too hot. These days, Spanish revival homeowners use courtyards, patios, and covered porches as extensions of indoor living spaces. The goal is for the home to flow seamlessly between the indoors and its natural surroundings.
Additionally, you’ll find arched doorways and windows inside and out of the home. Equally impressive is the interior and exterior doors made of dark wood showcasing intricate carvings. Although Spanish revivals are not highly decorative, the homes often boast beautifully crafted tiles. You can find tiles in places like the kitchen or covering the risers of a staircase. Wrought ironwork is another common feature. This special detail “fancies” up balcony railings outdoors or staircase railings inside.
How to Design and Decorate a Spanish Colonial House Interior
It’s important to remember that good design happens when you honor the bones of the home. This means you stay true to its character! For Spanish-style homes, make sure to keep things easygoing and comfortable. Organic materials should give them an unfussy, natural feel perfect for lounging and relaxation.
Keep things intentional
To stay in line with the simple spirit of these homes, edit the space so that the architectural elements shine. Basically– just be careful not to overshadow the best parts of your home with excessive wall decor or cluttered furniture.
Achieve this by sticking to items that are both functional and beautiful. You could go full Marie Kondo and decorate only with items that “spark joy.”
This pulled-back approach automatically gives off a signature relaxed and serene vibe.
Create interest through texture and textiles
Even with a more pared-down approach to decor, you can still give them room depth and interest through layering various textures. This can be done through the use of rugs, pillows, throws, curtains and decor pieces like ceramic vases and other types of pottery. Play around with mixed patterns for a trendy look.
Antique Spanish rugs, specifically, can pay homage to the history of the home and bring drama through pattern and color.
Another great trick is to thoughtfully place woven baskets from room to room to add extra organic texture.
Balance rustic and casual elements
To amplify the heart of the style, lean into a mixture of rustic and casual.
You can create a fresh, laid-back look with furniture by bringing in pieces made by antique or salvaged wood. First, anchor a living room with a sturdy wood coffee table. Next, flank it with linen-covered sofas to create an accessible and cozy foundation.
Further cozy up the space by draping soft throws over the backs of the sofas.
Use color to liven things up
It’s important to pick colors that work with the home’s neutral color palette while adding some flavor. Terracotta reds are classic for this style and may already be present in the shade of the tile floor. You can bring in more color through vintage artwork placed on a mantle or hung on the wall. Don’t forget to bring in greenery and heighten the natural vibe through some potted trees or plants.
Find inspiration and get started
California boasts thousands of Spanish-style homes. Coincidentally, Celebrities own many of these very properties. This means there’s no shortage of Pinterest photos and video home tours of Spanish revival homes. For example, Kendall Jenner’s Spanish home manages to feel casual and artistic all at once.
In the end, if you make the effort to learn the style’s rich history, you’re already well on your way to designing a thoughtful Spanish revival home. Remember: the most important part of putting together a Spanish Colonial house interior is creating a space that feels comfortable and uniquely yours.

If running a business was easy everyone would be doing it.
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I've said this to myself. As a business owner there will be times where you want to give up. Times when you think you cannot possibly go on. Times when you feel utterly defeated. However the thing that separates business success from business failure is the ability to keep going.
Look at James Dyson for example. If you haven’t heard of James Dyson he invented the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. He went through hundreds of versions of the Dual Cyclone system before he was successful. There are probably many others inventors that had similar ideas. But the history books will remember him because he simply never gave up.
The reason I am blogging about this now is that recently I have felt like giving up. I have felt like quitting before but I have never been as close as I have this past month. Over the last few weeks it felt like everything in my life both professionally and personally had fallen apart. Literally overnight things changed and not for the better; and the part that really got to me was that it was totally out of my control. There was nothing I could do to fix these problems. They were just happening and continued to happen.
Have you ever had bad news and then more and more bad news just kept coming? Almost like the universe was saving all the bad news up for you so that it could dump it on you in one day. This is how my life went, everyday I would come into the office and there would be another problem to deal with.
In this midst of all this turmoil I called two of my closest friends - Brad Burton and Croz Crossley. I am fortunate enough to be friends with two men who have ‘been there and done that’. Between them there is nothing they don’t know about mindset and overcoming hurdles in your life.
Croz said something to me when I called him. He said “the worst day of your life has a habit of becoming the best day of your life, you just need to give it time”. When he said this I remember thinking that he was crazy. How could the situation I was in ever become the best day of my life, it’s impossible.
It’s now been two months and I want to tell you something very important. Croz was absolutely correct. Now don’t get me wrong, the problems that started piling up two months haven’t gone away. However I have got these problems under control and I am dealing with them.
More importantly however, doors have been opened which up until a couple of months ago were firmly shut. I am seeing opportunities which never would have presented themselves previously. These opportunities are only appearing as a result of what transpired two months ago.
The thing I want to you to take from this blog is that when you are running a business you will have good days and bad days. Some days will be very good and other days will be very bad. Sometimes you will have days that make you want to quit, they will make you want to give in.
Through personal experience I can tell you that these bad days won’t last forever. Half the things that make you want to quit will be a distant memory in a years time. So if you aren’t going to remember it in a year why stress about it now. It really is true that the worst day of your life has a habit of becoming the best day of your life.
Remember the difference between business success and business failure is never giving up. So go out there, meet all challenges head on, never give up and make sure that you achieve your dreams. Because if you don’t someone else will!
Thanks for reading.

Going To War
(solemn piano music)
I spent two years traveling in India without coming home. India gets incredibly hot just before the onset of the monsoon. So I decided to try and find a new place to go to, do another adventure. I crossed over into Pakistan. And again, the heat was just unbearable so I decided to go up into the Hindu Kush, into the Morocco mountain range, just to get some relief from all the heat. When I arrived in a small town called Chitral which was actually very close to the Afghan border. I met a couple of Afghan refugees living in my hotel. And they, over dinner one night, they started telling me about this incredible war that was going on in their country, just over the next mountain range. And they said, well you know you're a photographer. You should come. We want to take you into our country, into our region of Nuristan. And we want you to show this story to the world. There were thousands of refuges flowing out of Afghanistan. So I thought, I really should go in and so...
. They gave me very old sort of Afghan shalwar kameez. Sort of what their local guard. And I had a beard and I put my camera bag into an old sort of burlap sack. And threw it over my shoulder and we proceeded to literally walk across the border, right next to some Pakistani soldiers who basically had no idea that I was a foreigner. They thought I was a local person because of the way I looked. And once I got in Afghanistan, I realized that this story was something that really needed the world to know. I went through so many villages that had been bombed. Destroyed. They were empty. And this wasn't just one or two villages. This was many. And I started to come to the realization that there was this systematic plan to drive all of these people living along the border to drive them over into Pakistan as refugees. So I photographed. I stayed there for a few weeks. And became very kind of obsessed with this situation and I wanted to go back again and again and since that first trip into Afghanistan I have been back. Maybe more than 30 times. (solemn piano music) So this chance encounter I had with these Afghans in this hotel over dinner was something which I think was a pivotal point in my life, and in my career. I saw there was an opportunity. I had an instinct that this was something important and I decided to go for it. I decided this was something an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I think in times, there are times in life when you have to take risks. I think the worst thing for me is to be timid and not to seize that moment and move forward in a positive way. You have to take that opportunity that presents itself and move forward. On two occasions while I was working Afghanistan I was reported dead. On both occasions I had gone in for a very extended time. People that I had told I was going in started getting worried and then there were rumors and reports that of a photographer being killed. And they assumed it was me. And when weeks went by again, then that almost confirmed the fact that it was me who was had been the foreigner who was killed. And they called my family. They called friends. And eventually of course I resurfaced. But not before there was sort of a panic in my family. After I had spent a few weeks on that first trip in Afghanistan I started getting really nervous that when I reentered Pakistan without my passport if I got stopped they may want to put me in jail. Confiscate my film. And detain me. I didn't know. So I decided in order to secure my film I kind of hid it inside the clothing of my costume and put other film in the camera bag and in my camera so that if there was any question, hopefully they would take the not the exposed film which I had hidden in strategic places around my body. Unfortunately I never got stopped at least not in Afghanistan. I did have film take away in Lebanon and Iraq and other places. But I mean sometimes, you had no choice. If a soldier or the police want your film sometimes you have no choice but to give it up. The most important thing is you should always be safe. No picture is worth a life. I think it's always important to take risks. But you always should work inside a margin of safety. I think the worst experience of my career was working during a festival in Mumbai where I was in the water up to my waist photographing a festival. It was a common festival. There were dozens of photographers there. But somehow they took issue with my photographing this one particular place. And they attacked me. They hit me. They pulled my camera under water. Ruining all of my equipment. I didn't lose any of my film because I had kept it in the plastic containers. But I was really nervous that they were going to drown me. I thought they were 10 people pounding on me. And I was under water at some point. So I thought, I'm gonna die here. And eventually somebody came and grabbed me and said this guy can't kill him. He's with us so. So they led me back to the beach. But it was very harrowing. I thought yeah this was. Not gonna be. This isn't going to end well for me.

Look for Paraguay on the map and you’ll find it squeezed between Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina.
It may not be the first stop on the average tourist itinerary, but it is a fast-growing and vibrant nation that has understood the importance of communications and media.
So when the Paraguay Bishops’ Conference invited CREC to visit the capital, Asunción, and offer a Media Workshop, we jumped at the opportunity.
The session centered specifically on “Peace Journalism” and was attended by about 50 Media professionals from all over the country.
Amongst other things, we discussed the speed of social media: the horizontal, digital time-line that obliges us to set our sights on what comes next – almost before it happens.
That was when the Guaraní participants in the audience interrupted with an objection.
Guaraní time, they reminded us, is not horizontal – but circular.
Like the circle of the seasons.
Like the cycle of Life.
Like unity, equality, community.
In fact, the Guaraní have no word for “tomorrow”.
“Ko’éro – If the sun should rise”, is as conditionally close as it gets.
Instead of fretting over the past, and fussing over the future, they concentrate on the present – and what it means.
Traditionally, that search for meaning has found expression in the most varied Mediums: music and dance, art and architecture, carving and painting.
Add to these the latest communications technologies and techniques, and you have a positively explosive multimedia mix that is putting Paraguay back on the media map of the world.
Paraguay. Where tomorrow is today.

People who are trying to lose weight often confront the same problem: They lose enough weight to get close to their goals, and then their progress totally stalls. They wind up stonewalled, five pounds short of their ideal body weight. The solution: A strong weight-loss program.
As in many pursuits, it takes a lot of dedication and focus to lose weight. And while weight-loss is often highly personal (more on that in a bit), you can make significant progress by drilling into details, being brutally honest with your daily habits, and figuring out exactly how much you should be (and are) eating every day.
We asked Kim Larson, R.D.N., N.B.C.-H.W.C., the founder of Total Health in Seattle, WA, for her best strategies to finish up your long journey to a leaner body.
5 Rules of Fast Fat Loss
Step 1: Get detailed with your measurements.
First, make sure you’re measuring your progress regularly. Weighing yourself on a scale is a good start, but it’s also smart to find other ways to measure your body composition (fat vs. muscle content). Everyone’s body responds differently to losing weight. The time it takes you to shed these pounds will vary, but one thing’s for sure: It gets harder as you get closer to the goal.
“The last five or so pounds are much harder to lose and are much slower to come off,” says Larson. “Adjusting expectations for the rate of weight loss is essential. You should expect about a quarter- to half-pound loss as you get closer to your ideal body weight—within a 10-pound range of it.”
Step 2: Self-scout your weight-loss habits with brutal honesty.
Next, take stock of your current calorie intake. “Being accurate and brutally honest is what will reveal the pitfalls,” Larson says. “Sometimes you just don’t realize you’re doing something to hamper weight loss, like mindless eating at some point in the day. Identify indulgences and zero in on oversized portions—especially those with carbs, because people overeat them on a regular basis.”
Furthermore, examine when you eat and when you work out. If you’re eating balanced and healthy meals during the week, but then binging on the weekends on beer and movie popcorn, you aren’t going to reach your goal, says Larson. Likewise, working out during the week, but then relapsing into a couch potato on the weekend—or controlling calories well during the week and then feeling so deprived that you reward yourself with unlimited treats on the weekends—won’t help those pounds disappear.
Step 3: Self-scout your drinks, too.
Beverages can also rack up excess calories quickly, so make sure you aren’t drinking sugar-laden or high-calorie drinks—lattes, fruit juice, or even large smoothies full of calories from fruit and sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, maple syrup.
Moreover, it’s probably best to cut out alcohol altogether to reach your ideal weight. “Alcohol delivers calories that add up quickly,” she says. “Drinking alcohol stimulates your appetite and reduces your resolve to not binge-eat something you wouldn’t normally choose to eat,” she says. Take a hard look at how much and how frequently you’re drinking, to assess where extra calories might be coming in.
Step 4: Calibrate the calorie balance you need to lose weight.
Measuring out portion sizes might be time-consuming, but it’s an undeniably effective way to identify exactly how many calories you’re eating at one time. “Many people have no idea what a portion size of carbohydrates—or even protein—should be,” says Larson. “Go on a site like myplate.gov for a simple, easy, and free way to check out visual portion sizes of food on a plate or in a bowl to show you what they really look like.”
As part of your weight-loss plan, be sure to examine the amount of fat you’re eating, even in healthy foods like nuts, fish, or avocados. Even small servings of those foods add a lot of calories.
That said, starving yourself won’t work, either. Eating too little food can slow your metabolic rate, rather than speeding weight loss, says Larson.
What’s the Difference Between Weight Loss and Fat Loss?
Step 5: Make sure you fuel your weight-loss workouts.
If you’re cutting out meals and then running on empty when hitting the gym, you won’t be able to exercise as hard and get the results you want to see.
Plus, make sure you’re eating enough protein to stave off hunger: “Eating adequate protein also prevents the breakdown of muscle in weight loss and helps to preserve lean muscle mass to help keep your metabolic rate up.”
To determine how many calories you should be eating, visit a site like verywell.com, says Larson. Myplate.gov also has a “supertracker” that can help you keep track of food and drink intake, and then calculate the number of calories you need to lose weight. “It’s a great, free and simple tool to use on-line for the average person,” she says. “You can go to your specific calorie level and then look at meal plans to see what your meals and food portions should look like. It tells you exactly how much food to eat of the different food groups—here’s an example for a 1,800 calorie diet for a day.”
Sample Three-day Weight-Loss Program Meal Plan
This plan provides an average of 1,200 calories a day. Adjust amounts as needed to match your gender, activity level, weight, and height to cut enough calories from your current diet to drop the last few pounds. Be sure to drink mostly water throughout the day.

Solarglide’s retractable anti-glare marine sunscreens are custom-made to fit the exact shape and size of individual windows
For many people sailing at sea, bright and sunny weather is ideal, but it can cause significant challenges for the captain and other members of the navigational team.
“The bridge features multiple expansive windows, and bright sunlight or reflections from the ocean shining directly into the area can impair crew members’ vision and cause glare on computer screens, making it difficult to navigate safely,” says Paul Pringle, managing director of window treatment solutions provider Solarglide. “In addition, strong sunlight shining onto multiple panels of glass will quickly turn the bridge area into a scorching hothouse, making it unbearable for crew members to work.
To combat this, Pringle advises shipowners to install anti-glare sunscreens. “Anti-glare sunscreens block direct sunlight, but still allow crew members full visibility, thereby reducing the risk of collisions,” he explains. “They also help to moderate the temperature of the bridge area, enabling crew members to stay cool and productive, even when sailing in tropical climates. Not only does this significantly improve the employee experience, but it also enables shipowners to turn down air conditioning systems, which will result in long-term energy and cost savings.”
Designed specifically for the marine industry, Solarglide’s retractable anti-glare marine sunscreens are custom-made in the UK to fit the exact shape and size of individual windows and are available in four colours – gold, silver, grey and bronze. Customers can choose cassetted and non-cassetted sunscreens that are operated manually, or hardwired motorised or solar-powered options.
“We specialise in developing solutions for angled or awkwardly shaped windows, and we can manufacture screens up to 3.5 metres in width, which is ideal for ships with large forward-facing windows,” says Pringle. “The array of available operating mechanisms ensures that the sunscreens remain stable, even when the ship is sailing in adverse weather. They’re also quiet and have been vibration tested.”
Crucially, adds Pringle, Solarglide’s sunscreens are fully compliant with Safety of Life at Sea bridge navigation regulations. They were also the first in the world to be type approved for use on navigational bridges by Lloyd’s Register.
“While some window coverings on the market look great at a glance, they actually do very little to combat heat and glare, but type approval reassures customers that our sunscreens are safe and will perform as expected,” says Pringle. “Lloyd’s Register carries out stringent tests to analyse how much heat is absorbed and/or reflected by the sunscreens, the percentage of light transmitted into the interior space, and the reduction in glare and ultraviolet light. When Solarglide became the first to obtain type approval for bridge sunscreens, we raised the bar in terms of the quality of sunscreens on the market.”
Solarglide collaborates closely with each client to ensure they can find the sunscreen that best suits their individual requirements. Customers can visit Solarglide’s website to access detailed images and information about each individual product, as well as videos showing how to correctly measure their windows and downloadable enquiry forms. If they require additional assistance, customers can either provide Solarglide’s team with technical drawings, sketches or photographs of their windows, or request for one of the firm’s UK-based engineers or international agents to carry out an onboard survey.
“We aim to make the process of purchasing and installing our sunscreens as simple and efficient as possible,” says Pringle. “Our internal sales team is always available to support clients through the entire process, guiding them to find the best possible solution. Most clients fit the screens themselves with the help of our comprehensive installation guide, but we also have a large team of skilled engineers that can travel worldwide to complete installations if necessary. They’re particularly experienced at supporting outfitters on projects with short deadlines.”
Multiple cruise lines and passenger ferry operators have already reaped the rewards of installing Solarglide’s antiglare marine sunscreens on their vessels.
“Our sunscreens are on passenger ships sailing for clients around the world, including San Francisco Ferries, BC Ferries, Balèaria, DFDS, P&O Ferries, San Francisco Ferries, Trasmapi, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, and many others,” says Pringle. “Most recently, we installed them during refits onboard Royal Caribbean International’s Liberty of the Seas, Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Wonder and Princess Cruises’ Grand Princess.
“We always receive positive feedback, with clients saying: ‘How did we ever live without sunscreens?’ and ‘wow, what a difference the sunscreens have made to the temperature onboard the bridge’. It’s clear that Solarglide’s antiglare sunscreens truly are an essential product for any ocean-going vessel, particularly cruise ships and passenger ferries with large numbers of vast windows.”

Food is among the fastest perishable products and the best way to ensure minimum wastage while sending it to c-stores is to have an efficient supply chain. It helps deliver food within the shortest possible time to consumers. To get your food products out on the shelves of stores is not the end of distribution, you also need to create a marketing support to compete against existing products in the market. Whether you are distributing food products to restaurants, convenience stores or sending out cooked meals to offices and homes you have to first understand the needs of your customers and the distribution structure that will be used to send these products to the consumer. Distribution channels differ based on the end customers and type of food product that is being sold making it difficult for firms to apply same strategy for everyone.
To distribute food products in a profitable manner manufacturers and food distributors have to work aggressively and in coordination with each other. It ensures that the product reaches the end customer in minimum possible time and in edible condition. Every distribution channel has several challenges with regard to breaking the bulk and distributing it into small packages which can be picked up by convenience stores, grocery chains, food dealers or restaurants. To distribute food with least possible addition to overall price marketers have to keep middlemen to a minimum and standardize packaging to reduce wastage.
Effective distribution methods for food products
Direct distribution channel – Within this system the product is directly delivered to the consumer and only one channel is applicable. The distribution channel is applied when a consumer’s requirement is unique or has specific technical requirements so product is directly delivered to them. Sometimes a few local customers’ demand is so large that manufacturer’s production capacity is exhausted in meeting it and there is no need to use extensive distribution channels.
Consumer markets – These are one stop shops for producer/manufacturer of food product to sell their produce to several convenience stores and grocery store chains or food distributors directly. In these markets most intermediaries are representatives of retailers and manufacturer can negotiate directly with buyers to sell their product without using intermediaries and other distribution channels.
Producer to wholesaler and end user through one step channel – In this distribution channel the wholesaler takes ownership of goods that are made by manufacturer and is solely responsible for distributing it to right channels. The wholesaler has to work with hotels, restaurants and other large institutions like offices, hospitals and schools to distribute directly to them. You can find wholesalers here www.wholesalegrocersdirectory.com.
Agent/Broker to industrial user
These people work as representatives of one or more manufacturers and do not take direct ownership of products, but manage to set up relationship between them and retailers and carry out marketing services. The agent here becomes the sole sales force for producer/manufacturer and helps them expand their clientele to unrepresented markets. Market coverage is managed for intensive distribution and extensive distribution. You can find a list of brokers here www.cstoredistributors.com.
Warehouse distributors – These distributors directly move products from manufacturers to super stores and large c stores along with specialty and natural stores. They have large storehouses to store large variety of food products and groceries ranging from dry to frozen and other sundries. They largely deliver to store directly and only drop the produce and do not undertake any merchandising.
Food service distributors – They specialize in serving food products to direct consumers like restaurants, Delis, schools, hospitals, and other institutions. They undertake deliveries only on confirmed orders to the end consumers at a predetermined price. These distributors ensure that product is delivered to consumers in the exact condition and quantity they required.
Selecting an ideal distribution channel for your food products – Before your select a distribution channel for your products it is ideal to develop a list of potential customers for your products. This will help you design the shortest possible distribution channel depending on the perishable quality of your products. In the procedure of planning out the distribution network of your food products you need to understand the needs of your customer and their tastes so you can present it in the best way possible.
Distribution through food cooperatives – To remove the middleman and get direct access to food buyers of convenience store chains, grocery store chains and food brokers, manufacturers of farm produce and dairy products set up co-operatives to directly work as a combined unit. These cooperative societies will bring together farmers who will collate their produce and use single distributor to sell it to all stores in their locality. By taking on this procedure farmers can eliminate distributors and sell their produce directly to stores and slowly increase their outlay to neighboring locations depending on demand.
Flexible distribution models for food – Distributors of food products have to be flexible enough to understand changing needs of people so that they can pass the information to producers and meet the market requirements. If the distributor is working with multiple customers their product categories and product lines can be small or large depending on the number of manufacturers or wholesalers they are working with at a particular point of time. Growth of specialty food stores and fast food outlets has increased which have almost become synonymous with convenience stores. These fast food chains and small cafés have helped increase demand for ready to eat food items and have created a new niche of nutritious quick serve meals which can be picked up from stores and eaten on the move.
Food products have been distributed for several centuries now and with growth in technology and communication it is easy to understand market demand and build successful distribution strategy. The key now for food distributors to sustain themselves throughout the year is to offer products like dairy, meat along with both perishable and non-perishable items which are available throughout the year. It will help distributors and manufacturers to stay in touch with retailers at all time and build a strong and lasting customer vendor relationship.

A court in Liège, Belgium began hearing the case between Kazakh rider Andrey Kashechkin and the UCI yesterday. Kashechkin was suspended after returning a non-negative anti-doping sample in an out of competition test taken in Turkey while the rider was on holidays on August 1. Kashechkin, whose sample allegedly showed evidence of blood doping, has taken the UCI to court as he believes that a private sports body is in breach of human rights by subjecting athletes to out of competition testing. A decision on the case is expected with in two weeks.
Luc Misson, Kashechkin's lawyer, argued that the way that the UCI handles the testing procedures does not protect the rider's human rights and that the UCI determines the punishment for the offences using not yet proven methods of detection. He also demanded that the punishment be lifted as it is preventing Kashechkin to carry out his occupation.
Only five laboratories worldwide are capable of tracing blood in an equivalent manner, and are obliged to offer their expertise to federations and are not allowed to ask for help from any third parties. Furthermore Misson disputed the validity of the testing of the B sample, which was processed outside of the allowable range some 22 days after the A sample.
According to the defence, the control that was carried out in Turkey was an illegal control in that the blood was taken after 10pm at night, which is outside the permitted times of 6am until 10pm. The test was reportedly taken at 10.45pm local time in Turkey, as the doctors apparently forgot to take into account the one hour time difference between Turkey and the rest of Europe.
Misson also believes that the UCI is in breach of a number of human rights as stated in the convention. He believes that when a rider takes out a licence with the UCI he must distance himself with his own rights and abide by the rules that the UCI outlines and the eventual sanctions that come with that. Kashechkin had to accept these conditions in order to practice his chosen profession, and thus was not given a choice.
According to Misson, it should not be obligatory to hold a licence in order to work and each person is entitled to an independent and impartial jurisdiction when being punished. "The UCI through its regulations and procedures is laying down a privatisation of the punishment measures to take away the rights and lively hood of a rider suspected of doping. They want to tear a suspected doper to pieces," Misson explained.

This month, House & Garden magazine released their distinguished list of the top 100 interior designers working in the United Kingdom. If you do not know of this list, it has been running for 20 years by the leading interior magazine, with the team extensively researching and carefully selecting the best in the industry. The list contains a number of mainstay greats, but with each new addition comes a handful of fresh faces who have been chosen for producing particularly spectacular work in the last year.
It is these exciting newcomers that we most anticipate, as we love to see the innovation and current direction the interior world is heading towards. These are our top three:
Kate Guinness is certainly new to the game, only establishing her interior business in 2016 having previously worked in design for performance. She told House & Garden:
‘My first career was in set and costume design for theatre and opera. I loved it, but I came to realise that I wanted to create real spaces for real people, which would last and grow over the years’.
Her theatrical roots show through with spaces expressing a buoyant use of colour, pattern and cultural references, yet they never feel artificial with an astute understanding of the homes function. We particularly admire Guinness’ ability to be incredibly eclectic with her style in a way that is sensibly harmonious, pairing beautiful antique pieces that eek character and life with modern fittings, stylised paintings and playful glassware.
The London based Kitesgrove is a more established interior design house but had never previously made the list. The studio is known for their focus on using artisanal craftsmanship and combining luxurious materials, with the company promise to provide comfort, quality and authenticity. Being Chelsea based, Kitesgrove have the good fortune of being tasked with grand townhouses and apartments as their canvas, which they dress in soft toned colour palettes to honour the classical architecture and spatial volume. Often, a token colour-rich, design-led furniture piece is added to cut against the neutral backdrop and breath life into the space.
Rachel Chudley is a brand new name to us at Czech & Speake, but when her exuberant interiors made the list this year, our eyes were fixed and our hearts were stolen. The young designer is highly motivated by the arts as she told House & Garden:
‘ My style is playful with a focus on art. I think that interiors should reflect their inhabitants’ quirks and passions’.
With a team that consists of artists as well as designers, Chudley is able to produce spaces of refined comfort and creative expression, and if you take a lot at her portfolio you will be exhilarated by the drama and originality that each space projects.
If you’d like to learn more about our brand, follow us on our newly established Czech & Speake Interiors Instagram account.

Hebrews 12:25-28 NLT
Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain.
Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe.
As Christian believers, we serve a God that is unshakable. We as His children then are also unshakable. When Paul wrote to the Hebrews in the above verse, he was using the illustration that when God spoke to Moses, the whole earth shook and the people were frightened. Paul also uses the verse from Haggai (below) to tell that when Jesus returns, not only will earth be shaken, but the heavens as well. God is going to sift out His own and remove those that do not belong to Him. The ones who remain are those that are unshakable.
Haggai 2:6 NLT
“For this is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: In just a little while I will again shake the heavens and the earth, the oceans and the dry land.
Over and over in the scriptures, the return of Jesus is prophesied. There is going to be a day when He returns. There is going to be a day that many will cry out, “Lord Lord” but He will say, “away from Me for I never knew you.”
Matthew 7:21-23 NLT
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
We need to live each day as if we knew that today is the day that Jesus will return because we do not know when the day is coming. We cannot put off to tomorrow because we are not guaranteed tomorrow. We should look at each day as an opportunity to serve God to the best of our ability.
James 4:14 NLT
How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog-it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.
Paul says it best in 1 Corinthians — that we should run the race with purpose in every step…
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NLT
Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
When we think about our future, of course it is great to plan ahead, to dream of what your life will become, to think about your career, your family, growing old, having children and grandchildren. Those are all natural things that we long for in this world and there is nothing wrong with any of it. But we also need to plan for our long term — eternity. There, we will live out forever as unshakable members of God’s family. This life is an opportunity for us to run the race with purpose in every step, giving our all to The Lord. We all have a purpose that God has planned for us in this life. He is not willing that any should perish, but wants all of His people to have eternal life. He waits patiently with long-suffering toward us so that all should come to repentance. Let us each do our part to influence those around us that they too should come to repentance. Let us all be bold in our faith and God will do the rest as He works in and through us.
2 Peter 3:8-9 NKJV
But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Ephesians 6:19 NKJV
and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
I love you and am praying for you today!

"Thistle’s closeness to nature always struck me as a thing that related directly to her ancestry.
So I thought she might have been a dryad, who would be more attuned to more earth based magic. She always used plant names so I thought it would relate to the fact that she was a literal tree born entity. I assumed she was also a dryad because her appearance would be very frightening to see.
Also, Wu referenced that she was the newest of her line, which could mean she was one of the few trees that had enough powers to be born."
A bonus Thistle Theory update for you today, hot on the heels of yesterday's! Since these two were so similar in nature (haha) and we're closing in on the start date for Book II, I wanted to slip this one in there because it's so lovely.
Nepsilon gave us two illustrations to choose from, here's the other!
We're getting near the end of our list of submitted Thistle Theories, so people who submitted a theory that they won't end up seeing on the site should know that it wasn't that we didn't like it, it's just that it was probably a duplicate of others that were already submitted, or it included information that wasn't relevant, or information exclusive to the Patreon world building tier that wouldn't make any sense to readers who do not have that insider information.

Christopher Philip Winkler
This page is devoted to the memory of my great-great grandfather, Christopher Philip Winkler (1824-1913).
He was born in 1824 in the southern Germany region of Bavaria, and came to America in 1840 at the age of 16. After teaching for several years at a women’s college in Jackson, Tennessee, he married one of his former students, a young lady from the Memphis area. There he became one of the leading musicians in the city, working for almost 50 years as a church musician, teacher, conductor, and composer. His life has been a great inspiration to me, as mine has followed a similar career path.
To read about his life in more detail, please click here.
In 2023, after many years of preparation, I was able to produce a recording of many of his compositions.
Titled “Recollections of Memphis – Music of C.P. Winkler,” the CD includes 21 pieces for solo piano and solo guitar, plus several songs for solo voice and for vocal ensemble.
Program notes for the recording are available here.
To hear audio selections, click here.
To order a copy, please e-mail me for details. The recordings may also be accessed on streaming services such as Amazon Music, YouTube, and Spotify, and digital downloads may be purchased from iTunes.

This New England Colonial has charm and decadence. The painted brick and column portico present the charm of a farmhouse; however, the interior finishes and fixtures are far from the farm. The kitchen features Wolf and Sub-zero appliances, butler’s pantry, planning room, wine storage, while sitting adjacent to an all brick breakfast room that looks to have been there for years. The inside offers a modern farmhouse environment with sun room and hardwood floors. The master suite features two exceptional closets and a private terrace. This home is complete with a beautiful shiplap study that is flanked on both sides with windows.

In the first part of this series of articles focused on plant-based medicines, DDW’s Megan Thomas evaluates the use of medical cannabis in drug discovery.
What is the regulatory landscape of medical cannabis?
Medical cannabis is often a first-thought when regarding plant-based medicines, but there remains public scepticism, arguably due to the regulations relating to the substance. For example, the FDA has not approved a marketing application for cannabis for the treatment of any disease or condition to date1. There is, however, one cannabis-derived drug product that the FDA has approved, which is Epidiolex (cannabidiol). There are also three synthetic cannabis-related drug products, which are Marinol (dronabinol), Syndros (dronabinol), and Cesamet (nabilone). Even still, these approved drug products require a licensed healthcare provider’s prescription. With these exceptions, no other cannabis, cannabis-derived, or cannabidiol (CBD) products are FDA-approved and therefore on the market1. With this in mind, the FDA claims to be committed to sound scientific research into the area and has a number of processes in place for those in the medical research community who intend to study cannabis1. Significantly, in January 2023, the FDA finalised a 2020 draft guidance outlining how sponsors and investigators can conduct clinical trials for certain drugs containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds without running afoul of federal law2.
Across the border in Canada, cannabis is legal for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Canada introduced a medical cannabis access programme in 1999, making it one of the first countries to do so3. In a paper published in PLoS One, Lessons from 20 years of medical cannabis use in Canada, authors concluded that the implications for patient health outcomes of changes in the medical cannabis programme and legalisation of recreational use “remains an important area for future research”. In a Frontiers article on the evolving culture of medical cannabis in Canada for the management of chronic pain4, authors H Clarke and M Fitzcharles wrote: “Medical cannabis use is currently prevalent in Canada but has bypassed the rigorous study required for usual drug approval. Although uptake has been enthusiastic by patients, the medical community has voiced cautions and concerns.”
The situation in Europe follows a similar narrative of “more” – more research, more trials, and more results are needed for medical cannabis to reach its full potential. Michael Sassano, CEO at SOMAÍ Pharmaceuticals, shared with DDW that it is estimated that there will be 340,000 medicinal cannabis users in Europe in 2022 alone, and the overall market is estimated to grow over 500% over the next three years – with the market value in Germany alone poised to hit over €7 billion by 20275. He said: “But for this market to become a reality, we need much more research into cannabis products and potential indications. Only with more evidence-backed indications will the medicinal market boom.”
There are, of course, countries where it might be illegal or restricted to conduct research on medical cannabis at all. India, for example, has strict drug laws, and cannabis is illegal for any purpose6. China also takes a strict stance on its possession, use, and cultivation and cannabis is illegal for any use6. This is significant when considering that there are 32 national centres for clinical medicine research in China, and a collaborative network of more than 2,000 medical institutions in 260 cities7. Clinical studies in China also cost significantly less to conduct compared to many European countries and the US, making it extremely appealing to clinical trial sponsors7. Other countries with a zero-tolerance to medical cannabis include Spain, Nigeria, Singapore, Pakistan, Argentina, Qatar, Russia, Japan, and many more6.
Across these regulatory hubs, though differing in degrees of approvals and legislation, there seems to be a common thread: research is essential.
What research is being done into medical cannabis?
So, what’s being done? What is some of the ongoing research that will ensure the future for cannabis is being maximised to its full potential? At Imperial College London, the Medical Cannabis Research Group, led by Dr Mikael Sodergren, are focusing on: inflammation and cancer, with a current focus on pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); acute/post-surgical, neuropathic and cancer-related pain; and clinical outcomes-based research and the use of real-world evidence (RWE) in cannabinoid drug development8. Dr Sodergren told DDW in an exclusive comment: “I am hopeful that over the next few years we will see further investments by governments and funding bodies to accelerate pre-clinical and clinical research programmes. As we see more and more patients being treated with cannabis-based medicines in the UK I anticipate that we will also see more treatments licensed for various indications and available free on the NHS.”
At UC San Diego Health, there are currently eight cannabis clinical trials in progress9. These include:
- Brain mechanisms supporting cannabis-induced pain relief
- Cannabis effects on antiretroviral therapy pharmacokinetics and neurotoxicity
- Cannabis use, cognition, and the endocannabinoid system in HIV
- Effects of cannabis on cognition and endocannabinoid levels in bipolar disorder patients and healthy volunteers
- Proof of concept trial of cannabis derivatives in neuropathic pain
- Dose-ranging trial of inhaled cannabis for acute migraine treatment
- Effects of cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol on microbiome and neuroinflammation in HIV
- Effects of cannabis/alcohol on driving performance and field sobriety tests
In 2022, The Medical Research Council allocated over £2.5 million of funding to Cannabis & Me, a scientific study into the effects of cannabis on the human brain at King’s College London. This was the largest ever independent study into cannabis use10. The ongoing study, led by Dr Marta Di Forti, uses a combination of DNA genetic and epigenetics testing, psychological and cognitive analysis, and virtual reality to understand the link between a user’s biological makeup and the effect cannabis has on them.
Dr Di Forti told DDW in an exclusive comment: “’Cannabis is a plant, totally natural and therefore it must be entirely safe and to be preferred to synthetic medications’… there is no day that from California to London, someone does not say, write, post this sentence, almost a dictum. Cannabis Sativa is a plant, indeed a beautiful one, but so is the one of tobacco or the poppy flowers of opium, and the purple flowers of digitalis lanata. In UK, the debate about cannabis use has been polarised with those supporting the above dictum contrasted by those seeing cannabis as evil. The young people I see in my clinic every week, who have developed a psychotic disorder in the context of cannabis use or whose psychosis worsens when they use it, have no voice on social media and they are not represented by the big company investing in cannabis products. Lived experienced of cannabis use and psychosis are not sensational enough to catch the wide interest, they remain buried under the stigma still attached to psychosis and psychiatry. Therefore, I hope for a future that offers a voice to all the variety of effects experienced when using cannabis, supported by a public education that informs recreational users and aligns with guidelines for safe prescribing of medicinal cannabis.”
More recently in February 2023, Wellcome awarded Oxford’s Department of Psychiatry £16.5 million for the STEP (Stratification & Treatment in Early Psychosis) programme, as part of its support for mental health research. The programme, led by Professor Philip McGuire, Professor of Psychiatry at Oxford, will involve 1,000 participants, including people at a clinically high risk for psychosis, people with first episode psychosis, and people with psychosis who have not responded to conventional treatment. Jazz Pharmaceuticals has supplied the cannabidiol for the trials at no cost. Professor McGuire said: “Cannabidiol is one of the most promising new treatments for people with psychosis. This study will be the first to evaluate cannabidiol in large numbers of people with psychosis or psychotic symptoms, and brings together many of the leading centres working in this area around the world.”11
The Cannabis Scientist’s Power List 2022
A resource which spotlights the research being undertaken regarding cannabis is The Cannabis Scientist’s Power List 2022, which has been compiled annually since its inception in 202012. The list aims to ‘celebrate the movers and shakers – or should that be grinders and growers – who deserve their moment in the spotlight.’ There are five categories, each containing five cannabis scientists. These categories are: Analytical Heroes, Processing Pros, Plant Science Pioneers, R&D Trailblazers and Inspirational Mentors.
Examples of people on the Power List include Susan Audino in the Analytical Heroes category. Susan Audino is ISO Assessor and Instructor, Scientific Advisor at AOAC International CASP, and Chemistry Laboratory Consultant at SA Audino & Associates, LLC. “The cannabis testing industry is neither consistent nor reliable”, she told The Cannabis Scientist. “My mission is to see cannabis regulators understand basic science and to consult experienced scientists to refine regulations. It’s time to stop borrowing cannabis regulations from other industries.”12
John MacKay, Co-founder of the Institute of Extraction Technology and Founder and CEO of Synergistic Technologies Associates, was named a Processing Pro. He told The Cannabis Scientist: “Currently, regulations do not allow universities to properly study cannabis science. This damages the ability of scientists to bring facts rather than fiction to the industry.”12
Cristina Sanchez, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Biology, Complutense University, was featured as a Plant Science Pioneer. She told The Cannabis Scientist: “The biggest challenge for me is the translation of preclinical knowledge into clinical practice. We have solid and extensive proof of the therapeutic potential of cannabis for many ailments, but we are still lacking the clinical validation that allows physicians to feel safe prescribing cannabis-based treatments.”12
In the R&D Trailblazers category, Geoffrey Guy, Chairman and Founder of GW Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, UK, was acknowledged. He told The Cannabis Scientist: “We need a better understanding of homeostasis and the role of the cannabinoids in its modulation; specifically in terms of hormesis, cellular bioenergetics, the microbiome, and neural plasticity.”12
In the Inspirational Mentors category, Alisia Ratliff, CEO, Victus Consulting Ventures, was put under the spotlight. She told The Cannabis Scientist: “One of the biggest challenges facing cannabis science in 2022 is pseudoscience and false product claims. We are seeing producers of what we call “snake oil” entering the markets as legitimate brands. Testing labs have done blind analyses on products exposing the lack of cannabinoid content or incorrect cannabinoid content in these products. Marketing agendas are now eclipsing actual scientific evidence of newly isolated cannabinoid products. The rush to be first to market with a new product and capital appetite needs to come secondary to sound research and development activity before launching products into the market.”12
Meet the Biotech: Who is doing what with medical cannabis?
Moving away from research being carried out in institutions and academia, which companies in the drug discovery industry are working with medical cannabis, and what are they doing?
Celadon Pharmaceuticals is a UK-based pharmaceutical company focused on the research, cultivation, manufacturing, and sale of breakthrough cannabis-based medicines. Celadon has the only MHRA approved clinical trial in the UK for cannabis for chronic pain, through ownership of a business called LVL Health. James Short, CEO and Co-Founder of Celadon Pharamceuticals, commented: “This industry is essential to realising the government’s ambitions of making the UK the leading global hub for life sciences. Most importantly, medical cannabis has huge potential to change the lives of patients suffering a variety of conditions, from epilepsy to multiple sclerosis, as well as helping the eight million people in the UK living with chronic pain.”
Tetra Bio-Pharma is a Canadian biopharmaceutical company focused on providing clinical programmes aimed at bringing novel drugs and treatments to patients and their healthcare providers, specialising in combining the traditional methods of medicinal cannabis use with the supporting scientific validation and safety data required for inclusion into the existing bio pharma industry by regulators, physicians and insurance companies.13
Zynerba Pharmaceuticals is a US-based, orphan-focused, neuropsychiatric, biopharmaceutical company taking a ‘different and exciting transdermal approach’ to cannabinoids. Zynerba are committed to improving the lives of patients and their families living with severe, chronic health conditions including Fragile X syndrome and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.14
AusCann is an Australian-based company focused on the development and commercialisation of cannabinoid-derived therapeutic products to address unmet needs for humans and animals within Australia and internationally. AusCann’s immediate focus is on developing technologies to enhance the delivery of its novel formulations with the aim to commercialise its products through various regulatory frameworks around the world.15

As investors become more focused on increasing their investment portfolios in retirement many are looking to precious metals such as silver and gold. The investment in an Gold or Silver IRA can provide benefits that traditional investment vehicles such as stocks and bonds cannot match. Noble Gold is a precious metals investment company that specialises in helping people set up Gold and Silver IRAs. This article will highlight the advantages of obtaining Gold and Silver IRAs with the company Noble Gold.

What is a Gold or Silver IRA?
An individual Retirement Account (IRA) It is an investment account that was created to assist individuals in saving for retirement. The Gold or Silver IRA is a type of auto-directed IRA which invests in the precious metals such as gold or silver, instead of traditional investments like stocks and bonds. This type of investment appeals to individuals who are looking to diversify their retirement portfolios with other investment options.
Benefits of a Gold and Silver IRA
One of the major benefits of investing in an Gold or Silver IRA is diversification. Diversification refers to the process to spread investment across various categories of investments to limit the risk. By including precious metals into the retirement portfolio investors can lower the chance of losing money because of market fluctuations.
Protection from inflation
Another benefit of investing in gold and silver is the protection from inflation. In the event of inflation the value of money decreases, and the cost of goods and services rises. However, the price of silver and gold generally increases during times of inflation, which makes the precious metals an effective hedge against inflation.
Silver and gold are considered safe-haven assets, meaning they are believed as more stable than other investments in times of economic uncertainty. When the stock market experiences a downturn in value, the value of both gold and silver typically increases. This is why including silver and gold in a retirement portfolio can aid in reducing the volatility of the economy.
Potential for long-term growth
Both silver and gold have a long-term growth potential, making an excellent investment to build retirement portfolios. Over the past 50 years the value of gold has grown by an average of 6.7 percent per year as silver’s value has increased the average 7.4% per year. By investing in silver and gold investors could see long-term growth for their portfolios of retirement.
Investing in a Gold or Silver IRA also provides tax advantages. With an ordinary IRA the contributions are tax-deductible and the earnings are tax-deferred until retirement. However in an Gold or Silver IRA, the investor is able to take possession of precious metals upon retirement and sell them without paying tax on the appreciation.
The benefits of working with Noble Gold
Noble Gold has extensive experience in helping people set up Gold as well as Silver IRAs. Noble Gold’s experts can guide investors through the process and help them pick the right precious metals to fill their retirement portfolio.
Noble Gold is committed to transparency and informing investors about the benefits and potential risks of investing in precious metals. The company provides detailed details on its website on the precious metals market, and its expert team can answer any questions investors may have.
Noble Gold offers competitive pricing for precious metals, which makes it a cost-effective alternative for investors who want at diversifying their investment portfolios.
Excellent customer service
Noble Gold is known for its excellent customer service. The company’s team of experts are available to answer your questions and offer assistance throughout the process of investing. Furthermore, Noble Gold has a five-star rating on Trustpilot, indicating high customer satisfaction.
The investment in a Gold or Silver IRA with Noble Gold has numerous benefits, including diversification, protection against inflation, safe-haven asset, long-term growth potential, and tax benefits. Noble Gold offers expertise, transparency, competitive pricing and outstanding customer service, making it the perfect company to partner with to set up a Gold or Silver IRA. As retirement portfolios get more complicated, it’s important to look into alternative investments such as precious metals to help reduce the risk and improve the chance for long-term growth. If you work with a reputable company such as Noble Gold, investors can be confident about their decision to put money into an Gold or Silver IRA.

There's a beautiful, blue planet to explore, both above ground and underwater. In earlier times, the ocean's depth limited people's ability to explore the ocean. Unassisted, humans can't dive to profound depths, as the water's pressure and weight quickly become too much. The risk of physical injury to divers becomes more likely starting at depths around 40 meters.
That's where underwater research vehicles come into play. In the 1960s, scientists, including naval researchers, developed the first underwater vehicles. These include human-occupied vehicles (HOVs) and crewless vehicles, such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). ROVs and AUVs have both revolutionized deepwater exploration while keeping human scientists and researchers safely above the surface. Learn more about the differences between ROVs and AUVs and when you might use one versus the other.
An ROV is a submarine that a researcher operates from above the water's surface. An ROV remains attached to a controller by a tether. The tether allows the crew aboard the ship to reel in the ROV at the end of a day's exploration. It also limits how far from the research vessel the ROV can travel on its own.
The tether's length can vary, depending on the project and the ROV's depth rating. An ROV with a depth rating of 305 meters can connect to a 1,000-foot tether without issue. Along with having different depth ratings and tether lengths, ROVs vary in size and speed. The type of ROV that might be right for your project depends on your goals, what you want the robot to do and how deep you need to go into the ocean.
Once they are in the water, what can ROVs do? Plenty, as it turns out. It's not uncommon for a camera to connect to an ROV, giving the team on the ship above a view of the ocean depths. The ROV can send video and images to the surface, shining a light on the equipment conditions that might be underwater. If the ship is investigating hazardous materials that somehow made their way into the ocean, the ROV's video can provide a clear picture of what's going with those materials without a diver having to put themselves at risk.
You can also fit an ROV with attachments that allow it to pick up items from the ocean's surface, such as sediment. One such accessory lets the ROV collect water samples, while a claw add-on allows it to pick up rocks or other larger pieces of debris.
While some ROVs draw power from the ship itself, through the tether, others are battery-operated. The battery power allows for speedier deployment of an ROV. It also allows the ROV to remain in the water for several hours at a time.
While an ROV remains tethered to a ship and remotely operated by a person aboard, an autonomous underwater vehicle or AUV gets to roam the ocean somewhat freely. One way to think of an AUV is like an autonomous car. Before lowering an AUV into the ocean, researchers program it, telling it where to go and what to do. The AUV might collect data or capture images or video. After completing its assigned tasks, the AUV makes its way to a meeting point, where researchers on the ship bring it out of the water.
Generally speaking, AUVs are better suited for collecting data in the water than collecting physical objects or water samples. They are a bit like the set-and-it-forget tools of underwater research. Since they don't require a human operator, the crew aboard a ship can focus on other tasks and projects while the AUV is underwater, gathering data.
Though crew members program AUVs before lowering them into the water, some can change their programming or adapt their missions on the fly, based on the conditions they encounter in the water. Usually, an AUV has sensors that allow it to detect water temperature and other conditions. The AUV might change course or complete its mission sooner than expected, based on the information it collects.
Crewless underwater vehicles such as ROVs and AUVs allow you to explore the depths of the ocean, check on equipment and investigate hazards and concerns without sending a team of divers into the water. Each has different advantages and might be the right choice for your project, depending on its needs and scope. Take a closer look at each underwater vehicle's strengths and capabilities.
Here are some of the benefits of using an ROV.
Learn more about which underwater ROV is best for your application
Should you use an ROV or an AUV for your next project? The answer depends on multiple factors, from the project's overall scope to its budget. An AUV might make more sense for some underwater research projects, while an ROV is better suited for others. It could also be the case that an AUV is better for one part of your project, and an ROV is the clear choice for another component. Here are a few aspects consider when choosing between an ROV or an AUV.

Etymology: [F., fr. L. diurnalis diurnal, fr. diurnus belonging to the day, fr. dies day. See Diurnal.]
A journal has several related meanings: ⁕a daily record of events or business; a private journal is usually referred to as a diary ⁕a newspaper or other periodical, in the literal sense of one published each day ⁕many publications issued at stated intervals, such as magazines, or scholarly journals, academic journals, or the record of the transactions of a society, are often called journals. Although journal is sometimes used as a synonym for "magazine", in academic use, a journal refers to a serious, scholarly publication that is peer-reviewed. A non-scholarly magazine written for an educated audience about an industry or an area of professional activity is usually called a professional magazine. The word "journalist", for one whose business is writing for the public press and nowadays also other media, has been in use since the end of the 17th century.

Synonymous at sea with log-book; it is a daily register of the ship's course and distance, the winds and weather, and a general account of whatever is of importance. In sea-journals, the day, or twenty-four hours, used to terminate at noon, because the ship's position is then generally determined by observation; but the shore account of time is now adopted afloat. In machinery, journal is the bearing part of a shaft, upon which it rests on its Y's or bearings.
Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
(Fr.). A public record or general orderly book, kept in the French service, and in which every transaction that occurred during a siege is entered by the governor of the town, for the inspection of a superior authority. The general officer who carried on the siege of a place likewise kept a document of the same kind, and minuted down everything that happened under his command. So that the journal which was kept in this manner was a circumstantial detail of what occurred, day after day, during the attack and defense of a town.

Set yourself up for success by preparing a sacred space to set the tone for your practice, and it's helpful to establish some level of consistency. For some, that means taking time during their commute to meditate and journal. For others, that means sitting on the back porch early in the morning or meditating for a few minutes on the couch. Still others will have a sacred corner with an altar, including an image of Christ, a few candles, and a place to store your journal.
Parents are not having enough high quality conversations with their kids about what their online interactions actually entail, lots of time parents have a well-intended but not fully informed respect for their children's privacy online and what we need parents to understand is this isn't about not reading their kids' journal or diary out of a sense of respect and privacy. This is equivalent to knowing where your kid is.

Assuming some short-term deal emerges in Washington to avert a default, pending later budget talks, we all know what comes next: Another dead-end debate over taxes.
Why? Because if there's one issue that conservatives in Congress are even more implacable about than Obamacare it's taxes -- as in, no new taxes, ever.
Of course, though, President Obama has said that he will not consider any further long-term budget cuts unless Congress also agrees to raise additional revenues. That negotiating position is eminently reasonable, given that the lion's share of deficit reduction in the past few years has come in the form of spending cuts. Now it's time to find some serious revenues.
Conventional wisdom suggests that budget talks will get nowhere because of the impasses over taxes. But here's one faintly optimistic thought: If revenue increases come via tax reform, maybe that's something that the GOP could be pushed to swallow.
The tax reform debate has been heating up steadily over the past six months, and seems primed to take center stage. As I've argued many times before, trimming back the $1 trillion in annual tax expenditures by the federal government offers an obvious way to find new revenues. And as I've also pointed out, many of these tax expenditures are disliked by both progressives and libertarian conservatives.
Market purists on the right aren't keen on tax expenditures that "choose winners and losers" -- say, like the housing sector via the mortgage interest deduction -- or use the tax code for "social engineering." People on the left hate the way the biggest tax breaks mainly benefit affluent households.
All that suggests some room -- in theory, anyway -- for putting together an unlikely cross-partisan coalition of legislators ready to take a whack at tax expenditures. This doesn't get around the question of whether the end result of reform is more revenue -- i.e., "higher taxes" -- but it at least offers a way to package such revenue in an attractive fashion. What lawmaker doesn't want to boast that they got rid of wasteful federal "tax perks" for "special interests?"
So here's hoping that when the revenue issue hits, tax reform will offer a glimmer of hope that compromise will be possible.

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.
At dawn on the first Easter Sunday morning, the women went to look at the tomb, and soon discovered the day was a happy day - in fact, it was the happiest of happy days! Today, we remember and celebrate that glorious day, and, just as the ladies did, we begin at dawn - 5.45am to be precise, when we will gather on Neatherd Moor for our short, but very special, sunrise service. With this in mind, I've set this email to arrive an hour early at 5am in the hope that your phone will ping and wake you up! If you do come along, then just head east from the small car park off Crown Road and you'll soon find us. For all who manage to get there, you are welcome to join us for an Easter breakfast back at DBC, which will include communion.
Following that, at 10.30am, you are all welcome to join us for our all-age Easter Celebration. It is a wonderful opportunity for us to worship and thank Jesus, and to be reminded of the truth of his resurrection and what it means for us today. Hopefully we'll see you there - it'll be great to celebrate with you.
Elaine and I were really impressed with the Passion Play in Norwich yesterday. It was fantastic to see the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus enacted in front of a large crowd in the town centre. It was very moving and was hopefully really impactful to all those who watched on.
The prayer topics for the coming week can be found byclicking here.Many thanks again to Richard Cracknell for putting these together for us.
Have a wonderful Easter Sunday everyone!

she got up and tried to make her way inside the hospital.
An Indian woman sadly lost her baby after giving birth on the hospital stairs. The incident happened in the city of Gurdaspur, Punjab.
The hospital had been focusing their efforts on treating patients for the Coronavirus.
However, by doing so, they allegedly neglected the pregnant woman and the newborn subsequently died.
The matter came to light when a social worker found the pregnant woman.
Neetu Khosla explained that on Thursday, March 26, 2020, at around 10:30 pm, she was on her way home with her brother and colleagues when a man and woman approached her.
They appeared to be in trouble and the woman told Neetu that she was pregnant.
Neetu decided to help and took the woman to a nearby hospital, however, they did not let her in. Neetu then went to the police for help.
With the assistance of the police, the Indian woman was taken to another private hospital in Harchowal.
A female doctor admitted her but during treatment, the medic allegedly removed the drip and told her to leave.
The woman was reportedly locked out of the ward. She then spent the night outside.
But when the woman’s health began to deteriorate, she got up and tried to make her way inside the hospital.
As she reached the stairs, her condition worsened and she ended up giving birth. But just minutes later, the newborn baby died.
As cases of Coronavirus continue to grow, the priority is for hospitals to treat those with the virus.
However, the hospital has been accused of neglecting the pregnant woman and it resulted in her baby dying.
Senior Medical Officer Ranjit Singh explained that the matter initially did not come to his attention. He said that the female doctor was meant to be on leave.
SMO Singh was accused of not having his hospital treat the woman because she had not paid for it, however, he firmly denied the allegations.
He went on to say that an internal investigation is underway and action will be taken against the doctor following its conclusion.
While SMO Singh confirmed that an investigation is being conducted, he stated that the pregnant woman should have informed him about the matter directly.
In another case, a woman was forced to give birth in a park after she was forced out of a hospital by a worker.
The woman had gone to the hospital experiencing stomach pains. However, when she arrived at the labour room, a cleaner reprimanded her and escorted her out of the labour room.
The woman’s condition then began to worsen. At that point, the pregnant woman was told to sit in the nearby park.
A short while later, the woman ended up giving birth to a premature baby in the park.
After a statement was made, an investigation was underway and the cleaner was subsequently fired.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans thrown out of work since the coronavirus crisis struck two months ago has climbed to nearly 39 million, the government said Thursday.
More than 2.4 million people applied for unemployment benefits last week in the latest wave of layoffs from the outbreak that has triggered nationwide business shutdowns and brought the economy to its knees, the Labor Department reported. That brings the running total to a staggering 38.6 million.
An additional 2.2 million sought aid under a new federal program for self-employed, contractor and gig workers, who are now eligible for unemployment benefits for the first time. Those figures aren’t adjusted for seasonal variations, so they are not included in the overall number of applications.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the unemployment rate could peak in May or June at 20% to 25% — a level unseen since the depths of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
As of April, unemployment stood at 14.7%, a figure also unmatched since the era when President Franklin D. Roosevelt was assuring Americans that the only thing to fear was fear itself.
The breathtaking downturn — unprecedented in its speed — has turned up the pressure on politicians to lift the lockdowns that are destroying businesses and livelihoods.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the economy is shrinking at a 38% annual rate in the April-June period, by far the worst quarterly contraction on record.
About 5 million people worldwide have been confirmed infected, and over 328,000 deaths have been recorded. That includes more than 93,000 in the U.S. and around 165,000 in Europe, according to a tally kept by Johns Hopkins University and based on government data. Experts believe the true toll is significantly higher
Meanwhile, doubts grew over ambitious plans by European governments to use contact-tracing smartphone apps to fight the spread of the virus as they ease their lockdowns and restart their economies.
British Security Minister James Brokenshire told the BBC that an app that was supposed to be introduced by mid-May is not ready, and he suggested “technical issues” were to blame.
Similarly, France delayed last week's sdplanned roll-out of its app, saying it won't be ready before next month because of technical problems and privacy concerns.
Experts say that being able to quickly identify people exposed to the virus can help stop the spread of the scourge.
Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte said Thursday that the country's app will begin testing in the coming days, and Spain plans to try out its technology at the end of June in the Canary Islands.
Meanwhile, drug maker AstraZeneca said it has secured agreements to produce 400 million doses of a still experimental and unproven COVID-19 vaccine that is being tested at the University of Oxford, one of the most advanced projects in the search for a vaccine.
While no vaccine has yet been proven to work against the virus, the pharmaceutical industry is already working to ramp production so that massive doses will be available quickly.
The Anglo-Swedish company reported it has received more than $1 billion from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority for the development, production and delivery of the vaccine, starting this fall.
AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot said the company “will do everything in our power to make this vaccine quickly and widely available.’’
Around the world, the effort to get back to business is raising worries over the risk of new infections, from hard-hit Milan, Italy, to meatpacking plants in Colorado and garment factories in Bangladesh.
In China, the communist leadership took extensive precautions to prevent infections as it prepared for the opening of its National People’s Congress on Friday and a parallel meeting of advisers on Thursday. The meetings in Beijing were delayed for two months because of the outbreak.
An outbreak at the congress would be a potential public relations nightmare as President Xi Jinping showcases Beijing’s apparent success in curbing the virus that emerged in the Wuhan late last year.

While everyone looks to young modern companies for innovation, don’t knock the fossils. These so-called fossil or older companies have withstood decades of market fluctuations and have shown resilience and stability with a large faithful client base, especially the ones that have embraced innovation and technology. They offer the best of both worlds, modern innovation backed by reputation and stability.
Innovation and technology need not just come from young tech start-ups. Whilst start-ups have the drive and innovation to make life easier, they often do not have the infrastructure to deploy these innovations. Established companies that can reinvent and innovate their service offerings to existing clients are more likely to be successful and even acquire new clients or users.
It’s all about being adaptable and giving customers what they want. Larger brands often have lower prices or fees and a larger variety of services. Customers want innovation and convenience. By embracing the technology and innovation of these smaller tech start-ups, the fossils (old companies), can improve their services to clients and gain an even bigger client base, as many consumers might switch to a reliable service that offers innovation at a lower price. The cost of living is on the rise and any innovation that can cut costs and deliver excellent service is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
To reinvent and to innovate, means survival for the future. The old fossils are often prone to stagnation, but the ones that can provide solid financials, strong leadership, competitive products and services, innovation, and retain a faithful consumer following, are the ones that will push forward and continue to grow.
Any investor’s wealth building dream is finding companies that are consistently stable but offer innovation and enhanced customer service.

The Augusta Heritage Center of Davis & Elkins College received West Virginia’s highest folklife honor, the Vandalia Award, at a special Vandalia Gathering concert on May 29. Presented by the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History, the award recognizes the organization’s achievements in digitizing the Augusta Archives and making it publicly accessible on the website AugustaArtsandCulture.org.
The state also wished to recognize Augusta for creating an online learning platform to keep master artists and learners safely connected during the worst days of the pandemic.
To date, Augusta has digitized over 500 tapes and many photos from its extensive archive featuring significant historical, cultural and musical recordings. Now, for the first time, the public is welcome to listen to performances, field recordings and stories from the comforts of home.
In the same service-oriented spirit, the Augusta Heritage Center continues to provide online lessons. This year, 75 of the nation’s leading culture-bearers will contribute pre-recorded music lessons and lead live online events. Instead of signing up for a single class, students have access to all lessons available. Recognizing that the pandemic has caused an uneven financial impact, Augusta grants access to courses through a donation system. Students are invited to pay what they can. The suggested donation amount is $100.

Sources: NIP target Jackinho as dev1ce’s return date remains unclear
NIP are interested in signing Jack ‘Jackinho’ Ström Mattsson to their CS:GO team on a short-term deal as star player Nicolai ‘dev1ce’ Reedtz is still on medical leave, sources have told Dexerto and 1pv.fr.
Dev1ce’s health status has been a hot topic in the Counter-Strike scene over the last month after he missed NIP’s IEM Winter playoff match against G2 and the entirety of BLAST World Final as he recovered from an unspecified illness.
On December 20, Dexerto and 1pv.fr reported that dev1ce had expressed an interest in leaving NIP to move back to his previous team of Astralis, with whom he won numerous international titles, including four Major trophies, between 2016 and 2021.
Shortly afterward, dev1ce posted a series of tweets to comment on the reports and his situation. He described the stories as “nonsense” and noted that he was taking time off to protect his mental health, which had taken “a hammering” that year.
No timetable for dev1ce’s return has been provided, and sources have told Dexerto that he could be out of action for at least several more months. NIP’s first event of 2022 will be the BLAST Premier Spring Groups, where academy player Love ‘phzy’ Smidebrant will stand in for the Danish AWPer as the tournament’s roster lock is already in effect.
Sources said that NIP are currently thinking about signing a player to replace dev1ce for the foreseeable future, and have identified Jackinho as a potential solution. The 22-year-old left Fnatic in November after a ten-month period with the British organization, who replaced him with Owen ‘smooya’ Butterfield.
Jackinho is currently playing for NIP’s academy team, Young Ninjas, in Malta Vibes Knockout Series 5 as a replacement for phzy. If the signing goes through, he could make his first appearance for NIP in IEM Katowice Play-In on February 15.
Helping my friends in Young ninjas in 10 minutes vs Sangal. Will be fun to play some games after a few months 😁💫
— Jackinho (@Jackinhocs) January 20, 2022
Contacted by Dexerto, Anton Fagerhem, Head of Communications & PR at NIP, confirmed that dev1ce will miss the opening tournament of the season. “Nicolai is still recuperating and we want him to take his time to get back at full speed,” he said. “Phzy will step in for BLAST — again showing the strengths of having a good academy roster.
“Jack is filling in for phzy while he’s subbing for dev1ce — meaning that he will play with Young Ninjas for Malta Vibes.”

Apple has been granted a new patent which hints at multiple user support.
The patent is titled, “Provision of domains in secure enclave to support multiple users”.
The patent also details the security aspect of multiple users.
One key feature missing from iOS is multiple users. Even though the feature is present on the Macs, the iPhone and especially a device like the iPad really needs multiple user support. It looks like this is about to change as Apple has been granted a patent which details support for multiple users. As spotted by Apple Insider, the patent granted to apple is titled "Provision of domains in secure enclave to support multiple users."
While the patent details more than one user being able to use a device, it also highlights the security aspects of the patent. According to Apple Insider, the patent reads, "A computing device can employ several passcodes and associated encryption keys, where multiple passcodes or encryptions keys may be associated with each different user account on the system”. Even though the patent says computing device, it could be more indicative towards the iPad or the iPhone as Macs already support multiple users. Also support for multiple passcodes and encryption keys could mean secure login to the device and associated apps and services that require a login.
The patent also goes on to highlight other security measures to ensure that there is no way in which multiple user support could lead to a breach of data. This isn't the first time a multiple user patent has been published. According to Forbes, the first multi-user patent was published back in 2013.
Multiple user support on a device like the iPad seems like a no-brainer. For a professional using an iPad as his primary computing device and then coming back home, the rest of the family can use the device for gaming, entertainment or simply social networking.

We recently received a new tower workstation from Velocity Micro, the third system the Richmond, VA-based system integrator has sent us in the past year-and-a-half. Although similar in appearance and name to the computer we reviewed earlier this year (DE, August 2019), the ProMagix HD60 ATX AMD is based on an AMD Ryzen CPU, as was the first system the company sent us last year (DE, July 2018). This marks only the second AMD Ryzen-based system we have looked at since that CPU was first release in March of 2017, and the first to use the new 7nm Ryzen 9 processor.
In other words, if you purchased the parts and built it yourself, you could save around $1,200 (compared to the as-tested price, minus the 3-year warranty). Of course, that assumes you have the requisite skill, confidence, and time to do it yourself. Buying a system assembled by trained technicians and backed by a warranty from a reputable company is likely worth the 28% markup when it comes with the peace of mind of knowing that the system is guaranteed to work when it arrives.
The Velocity Micro ProMagix HD60 ATX AMD workstation comes housed in a large charcoal gray tower case measuring 7.25-in. x 21.0-in. x 20.0-in. (WxDxH) and weighing 26.75 lbs. The monolithic front features an optical drive bay near the top and a Velocity Micro logo cutout near the bottom. The power button, a pair of USB 3.1 ports, plus microphone and headphone jacks are located on the top of the case, set several inches back from the front edge. A pair of cooling fans are also visible below vents on the top of the case and both the fans and front panel logo glow blue when the system is powered up. Like the other ProMagix HD60 we reviewed in August, the system ran quiet, averaging less than 50dB at rest and climbing to just 64dB under heavy compute loads.
The rear of the case provides a total of 12 USB ports—four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, seven USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port—as well a pair of RJ-45 ports for the integrated Intel gigabit LAN, antenna connectors for the build-in WiFi, an S/PDIF port, and five audio jacks (microphone, line-out/front speaker, line-in/side speaker, rear speaker, and center/sub-woofer). There are also CMOS Clear and USB BIOS Flashback buttons. The thin left‑side panel, with a large window etched with the Velocity Micro name and logo, is held in place with ten snap connectors. Once removed, you have complete access to the very well-organized interior with five internal drive bays, one of which was filled.
Lots of Options
Velocity Micro now sells four different versions of the ProMagix HD60—mid-towers or full-towers with either AMD or Intel CPUs. Based on that new nomenclature, the full designation of this system is the ProMagix HD60 ATX AMD, which has a starting price of $1,599. That selection gets you an extended-depth ATX aluminum chassis manufactured by Lian Li, with a power supply mounted at the bottom rear.
The base configuration includes a 750-watt power supply, an Asus X570 motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-core 3.8GHz CPU, 8GB of 2666MHz memory, an NVIDIA Quadro P400 GPU, a 250GB M.2 SSD, and a 24X DVD+/-RW dual-layer optical drive, plus a copy of Windows 10 Home, all backed by a 1-year warranty. But as we have come to expect from Velocity Micro, that is just the starting point. There are lots of configuration options available on the Velocity Micro website.
For example, the company offers a choice of six different power supplies, ranging from 650 to 1600-watts. The system we received came with an 850-watt EVGA SuperNOVA 80Plus Gold certified power supply, which added $100. You also can choose from among five different motherboards. Our evaluation unit was built around the top-of-the-line offering, an Asus Crosshair Hero VIII motherboard, a $285 option, that provides four DIMM sockets, supporting a maximum of 128GB of non-ECC unbuffered memory. Our system came with 32GB, installed using two 16GB Crucial Ballistix DDR4-3200MHz memory modules, which added $155 to the price. That motherboard also provides three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots and a single PCIe x1 slot. An Intel wireless AX2000 adapter, which supports 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax plus Bluetooth 5.0, is also integrated into the motherboard.
The motherboard also supports a wide range of AMD Ryzen processors, and Velocity Micro offers a choice of five CPUs. The system we received contained a 3.5GHz AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor, a 16-core CPU with a 4.7GHz maximum turbo boost frequency and a 64MB L3 cache. While the base configuration includes just a simple heat sink, Velocity Micro offers four additional cooling options. Our evaluation unit came with a closed-loop liquid cooling system with a pair of blue lighted fans, a $130 option, as well as using IC Diamond thermal interface material, adding $25 more.
Since the new Ryzen CPU does not include integrated video, Velocity Micro offers a choice of 22 different video cards, ranging from NVIDIA GeForce gaming cards to high-end NVIDIA workstation-class GPUs. Our evaluation unit included an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 GPU ($930). This board provides 2,304 CUDA cores,288 Tensor cores, and 36 RT cores and 8GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory. With a 256-bit interface, the board can deliver a memory bandwidth of up to 416 GB/second, enabling it to achieve 7.1 trillion single-precision floating point operations per second and to perform real-time ray tracing. The RTX 4000 provides three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors and one VirtualLink connector and can support four displays at up to 3840x2160 resolution at 120Hz, four displays at 5120x2880 resolution at 60Hz, or two displays at 7680x4320 at 60Hz.
The system also supports a massive amount of storage, with multiple M.2 slots and support for up to eight SATA drives. While the base ProMagix configuration comes with a 256GB SSD, Velocity Micro offers solid state drives of up to 2TB and SATA drives up to 8TB capacity. Our evaluation unit included a 1TB Gigabyte Aorus PCIe 4th generation NVMe M.2 drive (a $270 option) as well as a 2TB 7200rpm SATA 600 HD drive with a 64MB cache (adding another $85). A 24X DVD+/-RW dual-layer drive is standard, or you can opt for a 16X Blu-ray burner.
With its powerful CPU and GPU, we expected excellent performance from this Velocity Micro workstation, but were still surprised by the results we recorded on our tests. On the SPECviewperf benchmark, which focuses on graphic performance, the ProMagix HD60 ATX AMD turned in great results. The only systems that surpassed its performance were those equipped with even more powerful (and more expensive) RTX GPUs. On the SPECapc SolidWorks benchmark, the Velocity Micro system also performed well.
On the very demanding SPECwpc workstation performance benchmark, the performance was nothing short of amazing, earning top scores on many individual tests and turning in results that were only surpassed by systems equipped with over-clocked CPUs with many more processor cores. Its CPU and storage subsystem scores were the highest we’ve ever recorded. And on our own AutoCAD rendering test, the 23.9 second average time was just 0.1 second behind the fastest system we have ever tested.
While the base configuration includes Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Professional came pre-installed on our system, adding $70. Alternatively, you can save $80 by ordering the system without an OS and install your own. Velocity Micro does not include a mouse or keyboard unless you specifically add one to your order. We included a basic Microsoft USB keyboard ($20) and optical mouse ($15) in our as-tested price.
The standard Velocity Micro warranty only covers the system for one year. Since many OEMs warrant their workstations for three years, our as-tested price includes a $399 charge to extend coverage to three years for parts, labor, and depot repair service. Velocity Micro also includes a lifetime upgrade plan that allows you to return your system for maintenance, upgrades, and testing.
As configured, our system priced out at $4,733, making it a clear price/performance winner—the fastest system we have ever tested for under $5,000. Although equipped with certified hardware, the system itself lacks ISV certification. It that is not an issue for you, Velocity Micro has again proven that it knows how to assemble high-end workstations. Quite simply, this latest Velocity Micro HD60 workstation is a winner.

Manipulating sound waves to open a vector for data exfiltration seems like the stuff of science fiction - but based on recent research, the technique is quite plausible.
At one point during Black Hat USA 2015, researcher Ang Cui introduced malware into a relatively inexpensive laser printer so that it would sing its boot code to the audience. The eerie electronic warbling demonstrated the strange potential of amplified radio-frequency vibrations from I/O chips found in most electronics. While the Pantum P2502W laser printer won't make it onto American Idol any time soon, acoustic emissions from other devices may someday pose a real threat to enterprises as yet another channel for bad actors to exfiltrate sensitive data despite air gaps and other precautions.
Cui, a recent Columbia University graduate, began his research years ago when he compromised VoIP phones found within the office and leveraged that to eavesdrop on conversations within the enterprise. On the phones he changed the firmware to enable the built-in speakerphone mic to listen to conversations within the room while the phone was not in use and still in its cradle.
Sending the captured data over the existing computer network seemed risky, so Cui looked back on the some of the espionage methods employed in the Cold War. In particular, he was thinking about ways to get data out of a secure bunker, one with thick walls and air gapped systems. He showed a slide of a building at Elgin Air Force base designed with two-foot thick concrete walls.
Cui found that many data broadcast models used in the 1960s and 1970s depended on a faint transmitter coupled with a very large receiver. This evoked images of white panel trucks parked outside various embassies. For an attacker today this type of exfiltration isn't very practical.
Instead, Cui wondered whether you could have a "loud, intentionally generated compromising emanation" from the device. He looked through the more recent literature and found one project called the "Bit Whisperer." It could broadcast data but only at a rate of 1 to 4 bits an hour – not very useful.
Cui wanted to achieve better results but without using any special equipment. And he wanted to attack most any device. By injecting just seven lines of code, he turned the Pantum P2502W laser printer into an effective radio transmitter. He did so by rapidly flipping the power state of existing input and output pins and using different techniques. Each had its pros and cons.
By flipping the power state using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) he could achieve 10khz – 4mhz; using General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins, 10khz – 5mhz; and on Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmitter (UART), 10khz – 4mhz. The initial results were all weak, so Cui set to work amplifying those signals, attempting to reach the 120Mhz – 205Mhz range, or just above the ultrasonic range that would "piss off dogs."
The relatively short wires of the GPIO connections wouldn't generate strong enough signals, despite flipping every available output pin. Better was the UART output. And, with the additional 10-foot cable, Cui said the UART generated a strong enough signal that it could be picked up outside the building, even though the two foot concrete wall.
Once the signals were strong enough, he still needed a way to make sense of the signals. He turned to amplitude-shift keying (ASK) and eventually settled upon On-Off Key (OOK) which is perhaps the simplest ASK. In OOK, a binary 1 would be represented by the presence of a fixed-amplitude carrier wave and a fixed frequency. A binary 0 would be the absence of that. So your printer could be humming 1s and 0s and you would have no idea.
What's scary is that this type of data exfiltration could occur with almost any "Internet of Things" device.
"A network [intrusion detection system] is no substitute for host-based defense," Cui told the Black Hat audience "You could monitor every known spectrum, but it would be very expensive and may not work. The best way is to have host-based defense baked into every embedded device."
Cui's full presentation can be found here.

Most indie artists are recording music from their bedrooms. It’s amazing we have that opportunity, but it also requires knowing more about how to properly record. And the quality of the vocals is one of the things that can make or break a track. So here’s the basic process for how to record vocals at home…
Equipment and Room Treatment
You don’t actually need super expensive equipment and a professional vocal booth to record great sounding vocals. Yes, that would be ideal. But you can also work with what you have.
Choosing Your Microphone
For recording vocals, you usually want a condenser microphone. These are sensitive mics that pick up a lot of detail, which is what you want in the studio.
If you’re looking for affordable dynamic mics that work well in a home studio, try the Audio-Technica AT2035 or the Rode NT1-A. Both are praised by many professional engineers.
Along with a mic, you’ll obviously need a mic stand. But you’ll also want to get a pop filter. This is a mesh filter that goes between the mic and your mouth to cut down on plosives (harsh sounds like P and T).
How To Treat Your Room
The general rule is to make your vocal recording space sound as dead as possible. That way, you limit the reverberations the mic picks up, which you cannot remove in post. This allows you to better control the sound during the mixing stage using reverb, which emulates the room sound of your choice.
Ideally, you’d have the money to invest in professional-grade acoustic panels, bass traps, and sound diffusers. But most of us don’t have that kind of budget. Honestly, you can do well with thick blankets, pillows, and even a mattress leaned against the wall. Anything to cut down on the reverb.
I often record vocals in my walk-in closet. My clothes work as absorption, I hang up a thick blanket, and I put pillows in the corners.
When recording vocals, you have to use headphones. If you use speakers, the sound will bleed into the mic. I use the Sennheiser HD280 Pros, but any closed-back headphones will do the trick.
Avoid Over-processing While Recording
It’s best to process the vocals after recording. Because if you add processing on the way in, which would require a preamp or other outboard gear, you cannot take those effects out of the recording. It’s best to record a raw vocal, then adjust afterward.
How To Set Up the Microphone
Once you’ve got your vocal space set up and treated as best you can, here’s how to set up the mic…
Mic → Pop Filter → Mouth
After you’ve got your mic on a stand, attach a pop filter. This is a mesh screen that goes between your mouth and the mic. It reduces plosives, which are sounds caused by air shooting out of your mouth, usually from P, T, F, and B sounds.
I usually place the pop filter about 2-3 inches away from the mic, then keep my mouth about 2-3 inches away from the pop filter (depending on the sensitivity of your mic).
The Proximity Effect
The closer you get to the mic, the more you’ll hear the low-midrange and bass of the vocal. So if you want a bassier vocal, move closer. If you want a thinner vocal, move further away.
The main thing to pay attention to is consistency. Don’t be moving all around as you record vocals. The sound of the vocal will change and it will be noticeable.
Tips for When You’re Recording
Okay, now you’re ready to start recording vocals. Here are a few very important tips…
Check for Clipping at the Loudest Note
Before you record vocals, sing the loudest part of the song into the mic while keeping an eye on the mic channel on your interface. If it goes into the orange or red (called “clipping”), turn down the gain on the interface. Because if you record a vocal that clips, you cannot remove that artifact. It’s better to record a quieter vocal and boost it in post than to record a vocal that clips.
Don’t Move Around Too Much
Like I mentioned above, the proximity effect can work to your advantage. You just have to choose a distance from the mic and stay there. If you move around while recording vocals, it will be noticeable, and you can’t really do anything during editing to fix it. Find your spot, plant your feet, then focus on your singing.
Do One More Take
If you’re debating doing another vocal take, just do it. It’s better to have more takes than you need. It gives you options in the editing stage.
For example, Paul McCartney recorded 32 takes of The Beatles’ “Blackbird.” And the last take was the one that made the final cut.
Comp the Lead Vocal Before Harmonies
It’s tempting to record all of the vocals at one time, the lead and the harmonies. You already have your recording space and mic and gain level set up, so it seems easier to just record the background vocals right then and there.
But just wait. You have to comp the lead vocal first. “Comping” a lead vocal means you go through and choose the best takes for each section and phrase. And the harmonies have to match the lead vocal almost perfectly, so you need to have decided on the final lead vocal beforehand.
The last tip for recording vocals is this: emotion is often more important than hitting every note exactly right. Yes, you have to sing in tune. But sometimes a performance infused with raw emotion is better than a technically perfect performance.

Six-year-old music fintech company Utopia Music is reportedly set to reduce its staff costs by 20 percent after completing multiple acquisitions during late 2021 and early 2022.
The expense-reduction plans of Utopia Music just recently came to light in an internally circulated memo, per Music Week. For reference, the Swiss business bought Quincy Jones-backed Musimap in September of 2021, acquired artist-advance service Lyric Financial in October of the same year, and scooped up industry directory ROSTR and data-analytics platform ForTunes in December.
Then, the purchasing spree continued in the new year with the January buyout of UK-based distributor Proper Music Group, followed by February deals for indie publisher Sentric Music Group and Absolute Label Services.
Back to the initially mentioned internal memo, Utopia CEO (and former Facebook exec) Markku Mäkeläinen is said to have touched upon a “need to realise synergies, remove overlaps to make the Royalty Platform division leaner, and improve the velocity of our value creation.”
As part of this effort, Utopia is reportedly being organized around two main units, Utopia Music Tech (led by COO Roberto Neri and encompassing Absolute, Sentric, and Utopia Distribution Services) and the aforesaid Utopia Royalty Platform (led by Mäkeläinen). The latter is reportedly expected to face staff cuts, and execs are said to be reviewing the personnel within the music-supervision and creator-services divisions as well.
Addressing the layoffs in a statement, a Utopia Music spokesperson said in part: “Like many growth companies in today’s macroeconomic environment, Utopia is making changes to its internal structure to optimise the business. We’ve grown rapidly in two years, organically and through 15 acquisitions. Now, we’re realising cost synergies across these acquisitions and focusing on sustainable growth.”
Meanwhile, several of the affected professionals have already weighed in on the unfortunate news on LinkedIn. Some of these individuals’ positions at Utopia include commercial project coordinator and business analyst.
Utopia Music is hardly the only company that’s made layoffs in recent months amid a growing focus on reducing expenses and maximizing profitability.
Facebook parent Meta laid off over 11,000 employees earlier in November, for instance, whereas Spotify initiated a new round of employee cutbacks, this time in recruiting. Additionally, Downtown’s CD Baby and Soundrop announced layoffs of their own in October “due to the current economic conditions,” while Amazon’s Amp that same month laid off about half its team.

Legere was well known for his zany antics on social media, where he was frequently open (and loud) about his opinions, hosted his Slow Cooker Sunday cooking show, and wasn’t afraid to resort to … colorful language in order to get his words across. This laid-back and relatable attitude was mirrored in his business practices, and was a major driving force that helped to make T-Mobile what it is today. Very much a struggling bit-player when Legere joined in 2012, a number of consumer-friendly changes helped T-Mobile’s star to rise back into prominence. These included the end of two-year contracts and the introduction of T-Mobile’s rebellious “Un-carrier” branding.
These changes made a huge difference in T-Mobile’s place in the market, and Legere played a large role in helping to promote that, always being on hand to provide a strongly worded opinion, or to happily engage with the mobile community. With most big company CEO’s playing a somewhat aloof role, Legere’s down-to-earth attitude was a breath of fresh air, and helped to secure him a place in many people’s hearts.
Legere is expected to be succeeded on May 1, 2020, by Mike Sievert, T-Mobile’s current president and chief operating officer who will oversee the merger and what could be the most expansive 5G rollout. While unlikely to represent the same sort of playful figurehead, Legere is optimistic Sievert is the man to take T-Mobile forward in the wake of the merger with Sprint. But with May still several months away, there’s more than enough time for Sievert to grow his hair out and don the now-iconic T-Mobile-branded leather jacket as part of a lavish coronation ceremony. We can but hope.
Even if the jacket isn’t handed over, Sievert has confirmed the “Un-carrier” focus begun under Legere will be continued under his eye. So while he may not be Legere, don’t worry that T-Mobile’s consumer-focus will leave with Legere.
Legere won’t be leaving T-Mobile after stepping on April 30, and will still remain as a member of T-Mobile’s board. With that in mind, we wouldn’t be too surprised to see him pop up from time to time in T-Mobile’s marketing material, but it does mean he won’t be as prominent in T-Mobile’s advertising. However, we doubt it’ll quiet his Twitter presence.
On the plus side, it seems Legere is happy to continue hosting Slow Cooker Sundays. While his replies on Twitter have been a little cryptic, his reply on the investor call was positive, and it seems likely he’ll continue to don the magenta uniform every week.
Updated on November 19, 2019: It seems Legere will continue Slow Cooker Sundays.

The Virginia Distillers Association has been quite busy and quite successful during this year’s legislative session. We all know that Virginia is for Lovers but now we’re seeing that the state legislators are also in love with the entrepreneurs that make distilled spirits in the state.
There are three key pieces of legislation that have recently been approved with the support of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority (ABC) and the Virginia Distillers Association. One thing to note, VA is a control state and all liquor sales go through the state.
- In Distillery Commission Increase – HB 1770 / SB 1668 allows for an increase of commission paid to Virginia distilleries for Direct to Consumer (DTC) sales that happen onsite in the distillery from 8% to 20%.
- Expanded Sunday Hours – The right for Virginia ABC stores and distillery stores to open as early as 10am on Sundays, expanded from 12pm.
- All Counties Go Wet – HB 2634 / SB 1110 changes all counties in the state from dry to wet unless the county opts-out. The bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2020 but allows localities to hold anticipatory referendums beginning July 1, 2019. There are nine counties that are dry with portions of 31 counties that are partially dry (moist) that will be wet when the law takes full effect. The nine dry counties include Buchanan, Charlotte, Craig, Grayson, Highland, Lee, Patrick, Russell and ironically Bland.
“Our partners at Virginia ABC understood the challenges that we face as spirited entrepreneurs, and through their support, legislation was passed that directly incentivizes growth,” said Gareth H. Moore, President of the Virginia Distillers Association and CEO of Virginia Distillery Company in Lovingston, Virginia. “Our 64 licensed distilleries are a part of the fastest growing sector of the beverage business in the commonwealth, and improving the economics for direct sales and allowing expanded hours is good policy for Virginia distilleries, Virginia ABC, Virginia taxpayers, and of course, consumers of Virginia spirits.”

“Sundays continue to be a popular shopping day for many of our customers,” said Virginia ABC Chief Executive Officer Travis Hill. “This legislation will allow us to better serve those who choose to shop on Sundays, and provide economic growth for the state and our burgeoning distilled spirits industry.”
The formula for pricing distilled spirits in the commonwealth is the same whether the product is sold at a Virginia distillery, or at a local ABC retail store. At distillery stores, in order to cover overhead expenses associated with retail sales – employee salaries, electricity, credit card processing machines, etc. – distillery store operators receive a commission. The previous commission rate of 8% of gross sales exclusive of sales tax was too low to cover retail expenses; leading to a loss on sales where the spirits are made. When the legislation goes into effective July 1, 2019, the commission rate will increase to 20%, enabling healthy growth of distillery operations.
Contributing to the success of HB 1770 / SB 1668 was ensuring that the legislation would be revenue neutral for the state. Since retail stores and distillery stores are regulated as government Virginia ABC stores, both will have the elective option to open on Sunday at 10am as opposed to the current 12pm – a schedule already used by many Virginia wineries and breweries. The additional revenue from the expanded hours is expected to cover the incremental commission increase without impacting budgetary goals set for Virginia ABC by the General Assembly.
The General Assembly also supported other progressive distilled spirits legislation this year, including HB 2634 / SB 1110, which is intended to ‘flip’ Virginia’s dry counties to wet unless the locality has a majority vote referendum to continue dry.
Distilled Spirits Council President & CEO Chris Swonger said, “Virginia has made tremendous progress in providing consumers with the convenience they demand and creating a more modern spirits marketplace. We commend the Virginia ABC and state lawmakers for fostering a strong business environment for Virginia’s booming distilled spirits industry.”
The Virginia Distillers Association is a nonprofit private trade association focused on promotional efforts to increase awareness of Virginia’s growing craft spirits industry, as well as the regulatory and legislative needs of the industry.

One Convergence CEO Prasad Vellanki sat down to discuss the obstacles and promise of Deep Learning at the TF World 2019 show. Prasad offers a compelling vision of where the industry is headed, and explains how the company’s DKube product offers a powerful, flexible, and affordable Deep Learning solution for on-prem, cloud, and hybrid platforms.
Over the last decade enterprises have made heavy investments in High Performance Computing (HPC) to solve complex scientific problems. They have used Slurm to schedule these massively parallel jobs on large clusters of compute nodes with accelerated hardware. AI/ML uses similar hardware for deep learning model training and enterprises are looking to find solutions that provide AI/ML model development on top of their existing HPC infrastructure. A recent trend in AI/ML is to use agile MLOps methodologies to productionize AI/ML models quickly. Marrying the two - AI/ML development using MLOps with HPC/Slurm clusters - will lead to a much faster adoption of this combination. This article elaborates on how to combine popular open-source frameworks, Slurm and Kubeflow, to run AI/ML workloads at scale on HPC clusters.
How to set-up a Jupyter Notebook or R-Studio IDE to import or write your program code including Kubeflow pipeline DSL. Learn about the supported ML frameworks or custom image import into your notebook.
The Duchess of Windsor famously said that you could not be too rich or too thin. And whether or not that is correct, a similar observation is definitely true when trying to match deep learning applications and compute resources: you cannot have enough horsepower.

The sun has yet to rise, seemingly reluctant to interrupt the darkness. The trees recede into the shadows as I move past them with my flashlight. I stop randomly to break up my movement and catch my breath. I recall my scoutmaster saying we should "be overly prepared." Wait—that was "always be prepared."
I am 15 years old, on my first solo deer hunt. Last night, my father walked me up the path, showing me how to get to my deer stand. Little did I realize how different the hike would be on my own at 4 in the morning.
Up the hill I trudge, a backpack and a tree climber on my back and my gun slung over my shoulder. The woods are deadly silent. Images of goblins and ghouls jump through my head.Hurdle out of here, I think. But now is not the time. I shake my head and tell myself it's too late to turn back toward the truck.
The steep slope gradually flattens. Finally, I reach the crest. I rub my chest, take a deep breath and a swig of water, then mosey on toward my tree.
Quietly, I drop my things onto the ground, wipe my brow, hook my deer stand around the 40-inch waist of the tree trunk, and begin my ascent. About 10 feet up, I have reached as high as my shaking knees will take me. This is my domain. From here, I rule as far as the eye can see—about 40 yards around, except behind the tree. Don't look down, I remind myself. Don't look down. Here, I am king.
A deep, piercing hoot echoes above and startles me. Unknowingly, I've chosen an occupied tree. From a hole high up in the trunk, the bulging yellow eyes of a tiger with wings are staring at me. Like a ghost, the great horned owl takes flight, not making a sound as its powerful wings propel it through the darkness.
Finally, the sun begins to rise. Beautiful pink, yellow, red, and blue hues dance on the horizon. The dark relinquishes its hold on the world and vanishes.
With the sun, the constituents of the forest—my unknowing subjects—rise. A gray squirrel runs down the hillside, searching for nuts it may or may not have lost. It jumps around as if in a one-person play, chattering to itself.
A flock of Canada geese flies overhead, the birds honking to one another. One goose leads the way, flying … north … in mid-November?
A woodpecker drills a hole in a tree. The telling, familiar sounds reverberate through the woods, tattling on the bird's location and giving me a headache as I watch its head hammer back and forth.
A white-tailed buck walks down the trail toward my tree. He pauses to nibble on greens here and there. With snorts and grunts, he calls for a mate. He passes underneath my tree and continues on his way.
Wait—a deer just passed me and I didn't even raise my gun! What was I thinking?
I stand up and point my gun in the direction of the deer. But he is long gone, probably chuckling as he strolls on in my domain—his domain—a place where squirrels put on performances, owls are a hoot, and deer roam looking for relationships.
Oh, dear—how do I explain this to my dad?

The separation is done! You are single again. Good news ! But are you up to date on the habits and customs of the great dating market today? Don't go head-on, unhappy, you risk getting eaten raw. We give you some essential information and then, we promise, we let you go.
Since the beginning of the world, romantic relationships have obeyed strange, sometimes disconcerting, often exasperating, rules that have exhausted generations of lovers waiting wisely in front of their homing pigeon. But since smartphones, social networks and online dating have added to all this din, the case has become even more difficult. Woe to anyone who goes in search of a soul mate with a flower with a gun, because the codes have (again) changed.
Do not panic, we explain the strange customs of dating in 2020 , a story that you understand well where you set foot. Come on, hopefully you won't even get kanyer. What? Decoder ...
This one, we love it, because we can bring it out in many situations. To be kanyer is to pass a lead in front of this individual that we were so anxious to meet, with whom we were eager to talk, and who, however, for an hour and a half, has only spoken ... from him.
Yes, like Kanye West , Kim K's husband ! You will see, there are plenty of people who have a great passion in life today even more than yesterday: themselves. Their profession, their travels, their fascinating thoughts on the world of today and tomorrow (Zzzzz), you will know everything about them (and them nothing about you) if you take the trouble to drink their words. A word of advice, run away.
“ Tuuuuuut, tuuuuuuut, you are of course on Bidule's answering machine, leave me a message, tcho! "Have you heard this message 17 times since trying to reach said Bidule, but never managed to speak to him? However, it is his 06, you recognized his voice and his so sexy way of saying “ tcho ”. You've made yourself dial-toner .
This strange practice consists of spinning his 06, the real one, without ever responding to the person to whom it was given. NEVER. For your information, it is likely that your number has been appropriately registered by Bidule at “ Do not answer ”. Yes, it's ugly.
“ Regaaaaaarde, he watched my story, he loves me, I'm sure of it! ”And yet, it's weird, he doesn't call you, doesn't offer to see you, doesn't even put a tiny like under your coolest posts. Your bride is an orbiting fan , yes, like the eye.
In short, he mate, but he does not touch. The orbiting is especially practiced by exes unfamiliar with new technologies, and therefore not necessarily aware that you see quite they are the prem's to pounce on your stories as soon as you post. Is that so ? Does the person know when I'm looking at their stories? Yes…
Do you see those old ladies throwing little breadcrumbs at pigeons? No, you're not going to end up like this. However, this is exactly what breadcrumbers do . They occasionally throw you a few crumbs of attention that you throw yourself like misery on the world, just to keep you warm.
A simple “ I 'm fine ”, without a question mark or even a little family emoji , and you are off again full of hope towards this magnificent relationship with your beloved sex plan ? You are the victim of a breadcrumber. If you have a small appetite, why not (though). But we say, a good baguette sandwich is still better.
We cannot say that this trend is new. We are many to have experienced it in college. Remember when you were secretly rolling shovels at that cute guy in your class, but he preferred it “ kept secret ”? And there you go.
Today, it has a name: stashing . If, after weeks of mad passion, your lover persists in wanting to take advantage of you only one-on-one (or spank-to-butt), preferably late at night, without ever offering you to see his friends , his family, or even his neighbors (“ He's very shy ”), you're likely to get stashed. Even he has someone (that his family knows). Even several someone. Bhou.
Yum ! Can you visualize her, the beautiful, big glass jar filled with hot plump cookies just waiting to be pounded? Well the cookie is you. Basically, cookie jarring enthusiasts , tough , hungry fellows, always keep a small supply of cookies to keep them going.
Monogamy, very little for them. So they go shopping online or elsewhere for that matter (why settle for Deliveroo , there are some really cool things to do in small markets), and they collect their loot. Hop, in the jar! Without any shame. Yes, that cuts your appetite a bit ...
“ Run away from me I follow you, follow me I run away from you ”. You've met a guy you like blah but hey, it's Monday night, so why not. He looks crazy to you, watching you as if you were Emily Ratajkowski showing up in a nightie in this dingy restaurant (and not you in leggings that appeared shaggy from Pilates ). Suddenly, you almost start to hang on. And presto, he disappears. Long time. Then he reappears. Phew. And disappears again. It drives you crazy, you stomp. “ Nah but I didn't EVEN like it ”.
Don't flog yourself, you've been dealing with a pro… prowling , that vile tactic that's very popular with bad guys. Watch out (or else quit, go straight for someone you like to death).
