To be able to train algorithms to detect and identify mosquito species by their flight tone, we need representative species-specific flight tone data. Therefore, as part of the HumBug project, we are building a comprehensive database of flight tone data recorded from wild captured mosquitoes.
The data collection began back January 2020 and continued throughout the year (despite very challenging circumstances!) and is still ongoing. Mosquitoes have been collected and recorded at multiple sites in Tanzania and DRC and across multiple months, so our data includes the natural variability of species flight tones over time and space. We now have flight tone data for many dominant malaria vector species, including Anopheles gambiae, An. arabiensis, An. coluzzii, An. melas as well as An. paludis (a notable vector in DRC) and An. pharoensis. Other disease vectors are also represented including Aedes aegypti (primary vector of yellow fever) and Ae. albopictus (primary vector of dengue).
We have over 6900 recordings of individual, wild captured mosquitoes from 23 mosquito species and our database continues to grow. This is a fantastic achievement by our colleagues in both DRC and Tanzania. Their efforts will ensure the HumBug species identification algorithms are trained using real mosquito flight tones and consequently are effective in identifying those species in their natural environment.

Tinnitus is a condition that causes persistent ringing, buzzing, humming, or other sounds in one or both ears. It can result from various things, such as exposure to loud noises, ear infections, and certain medications like Adderall. While it’s not common for Adderall to cause tinnitus, there have been cases where the medication has been linked to developing this condition.
People taking Adderall or other stimulants may be more likely to experience tinnitus. These medications can increase the activity of neurons in the auditory cortex, resulting in increased sensitivity to sound and an increased sensation of ringing in the ears.
People who take Adderall for extended periods may be at greater risk for developing tinnitus due to prolonged exposure to stimulants. This article will explore what research tells us about whether Adderall can cause tinnitus and how you may be able to prevent it from happening.
What is Adderall?
Adderall is a brand-name prescription medication that contains amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It aims to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.
It can help increase focus, attentiveness, and alertness and reduce impulsivity in people with ADHD. Additionally, Adderall can help improve wakefulness in people with narcolepsy. Also read here: Can Sinus Congestion Cause Ringing In The Ear?
Research on Adderall and tinnitus
Research on whether Adderall can lead to tinnitus is inconclusive. A few case reports have been of people developing tinnitus after taking stimulants, including Adderall.
However, it’s important to note that correlation does not equal causation; in other words, these reports do not prove that Adderall necessarily causes tinnitus.
Despite the lack of definitive evidence linking Adderall and tinnitus, certain factors may increase your risk of developing this condition if you take the medication. These include having a family history of hearing loss or ear problems, exposure to loud noises for extended periods, and taking high doses of Adderall.
Preventing tinnitus from Adderall
It’s important to note that while there is some evidence linking Adderall use and tinnitus, it is not common. However, if you are taking Adderall or other stimulants and are concerned about developing tinnitus, there are a few things you can do to reduce your risk including;
– Take breaks when using Adderall, particularly if taking high doses or using it regularly. Giving your ears a break is vital to allow them to recover and reduce the risk of developing tinnitus. Read Here: Does Drinking Water Prevent Tinnitus?
– Ensure you’re protecting your ears from loud noises, such as by wearing earplugs or noise-canceling headphones in noisy environments. Excessive noise exposure can put you at an increased risk for tinnitus.
– Talk to your doctor about your current dosage and if any alternative medications may be less likely to cause tinnitus. They may be able to suggest alternative treatments or lower dosages of Adderall that could help reduce the risk of developing this condition.
– Avoid taking other medications, such as antidepressants and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), that could increase your risk of developing tinnitus due to interactions with Adderall.
– Follow up with regular hearing tests with an audiologist, mainly if you take a high dose of Adderall over long periods or have a family history of hearing loss or ear problems. This can help detect any changes in hearing early on, allowing for timely interventions to prevent further deterioration and the onset of tinnitus.
Adderall’s common side effects
In addition to the potential link between Adderall and tinnitus, it is vital to be aware of other common side effects of the drug.
Side effects of Adderall include:
– Loss of appetite: Adderall can decrease appetite and cause weight loss, especially when taken in higher dosages or for a prolonged time.
– Insomnia: Adderall can make it harder to fall or stay asleep, leading to issues with sleep quality.
– Anxiety and restlessness: Adderall can increase levels of anxiety and restlessness that can interfere with daily activities.
– Dry mouth: People taking Adderall experience dry mouth due to the decrease in saliva production. It can lead to increased thirst and difficulty speaking.
– Headache and dizziness: Some people report headaches and dizziness as side effects of taking Adderall, which can be uncomfortable and disruptive.
– Heart palpitations: Taking Adderall may lead to heart palpitations, an irregular heartbeat that is often felt as a fluttering sensation in the chest. It is essential to seek medical attention if you experience this symptom while taking Adderall.
Overall, it is crucial to be aware of the potential link between Adderall and tinnitus. However, it needs to be clarified if there is equal causation or if other factors, such as family history or noise exposure, play a role. If you take Adderall, it may be beneficial to take precautionary steps to reduce your risk of developing tinnitus and recognize any common side effects that may occur.
Can Adderall cause ear ringing?
While research on the topic has been inconclusive, some evidence suggests that Adderall or other stimuli may have a link to tinnitus. Therefore, it is for people taking Adderall to be aware of this potential side and take steps to reduce their risk by monitoring dosage, avoiding prolonged use, and practicing good ear care. It is also essential to be aware of the other common side effects of Adderall.
Overall, there is evidence linking Adderall use and tinnitus, although further research is needed to understand the connection between the two entirely. Read Here: Can Hearing Aids Prevent Tinnitus?
Can ADHD medication cause tinnitus or hearing loss?
Research on the long-term use of ADHD medications and their effects on hearing is still limited. However, there have been reports of tinnitus and hearing loss in patients taking these medications.
These symptoms may be caused by an underlying condition or due to a side effect of the medication. Furthermore, some research suggests that stimulant medications like Adderall can have ototoxic (harmful) effects.
There is some evidence to suggest that Adderall can cause or worsen tinnitus. In a study, 27 people were taking various stimulants for ADHD, 21 experiencing tinnitus after starting the medication, and 10 continued to experience tinnitus when there was a reduction in dosage. Another study found that 60% of people taking dextroamphetamine (the active ingredient in Adderall) experienced temporary ringing in the ears while taking the medication.
Does tinnitus caused by medication go away on its own?
Whether or not tinnitus will disappear after stopping a medication depends on the person and the situation. Medication for tinnitus will sometimes resolve itself once the drug is no longer being used. However, in other cases, it may take some time for the ringing to stop, even after discontinuing the medication.
If your tinnitus does not improve within a few weeks of discontinuing medication, it is crucial to speak with your doctor about changing medications or trying an alternative treatment option. There are also various treatments available that can help reduce symptoms of tinnitus if need be.
How long does it take for noise-induced tinnitus to go away?
The time it takes for noise-induced tinnitus to go away or improve depends on the severity and chronicity of the sound exposure. Generally, it is recommended that people who experience noise-induced tinnitus take a break from loud environments and reduce their exposure to sounds over 85 decibels.
There are also various treatments available that can help reduce symptoms. Additionally, some research suggests that neurofeedback therapy (a type of biofeedback) may help treat noise-induced tinnitus. Most noise-induced tinnitus can improve or go away with proper care.
Adderall can cause tinnitus and other side effects such as headaches, dizziness, and heart palpitations. While research on the topic is still limited, it is crucial for people taking Adderall to be aware of this potential side effect and take steps to reduce their risk. Additionally, noise-induced tinnitus from loud environments can go away with time if one takes proper care and treatments are used when necessary. If you experience any undesirable symptoms while taking Adderall or have concerns about your hearing health, it is vital to speak to your doctor for further guidance. Taking these precautions will help you stay healthy and safe while taking medication.

tv Lockup Corcoran - Extended Stay MSNBC August 22, 2015 10:00pm-11:01pm PDT
due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. america's prisons. dangerous, often deadly. there are 2 million people doing time. every day is a battle to survive and to maintain order. >> down, on your feet! down! >> among the nation's toughest, california state prison corcoran, severely overcrowded and plagued by racial tension. we spent months inside, where officers try to maintain order in an institution with a notoriously violent past. this is "lockup: corcoran extended stay."
inmate interaction in prison is volatile at best. >> dude told me he was going to stab me. i told him to get his knife and i went in and got my knife. >> whether it's with officers. >> you are the captain, man. something has happened to you. >> disputes with other races or gangs. >> i got in a fight on the level one yard. i had lied to some home boys, fresno home boys of mine. and i guess i had it coming. >> or even a prison romance. >> i had sex with my cellie. >> in corcoran it's not a question of if there will be violence, but when. >> everybody down! get down!
>> violence flares in the gym on "a" yard and officers move quickly to reclaim control. david salazar, the victim of the battery, refuses to identify his attacker, and the corcoran officers launch a massive investigation. >> let me see your knuckles. >> flip them. can you pick up your shirt? >> take your whole shirt off. >> take it all the way off. >> there is more than just what he's telling us. >> hey, salazar, are you a -- >> this inmate apparently got assaulted really, really bad inside the gym. we're going to have to take him to the ambulance, to the hospital. he was severely beaten from what we can tell. we don't know if there's any weapons involved. we have our staff searching right now, making sure there is no weapons, and trying to find the -- the assailant.
>> we responded to an alarm over on 3a in the gym and had an inmate has injuries consistent with being the victim of a battery. so we're checking the area. we're going to conduct a search. look for any possible weapons, possible suspects. >> inmates are searched one by one and sent to the yard. >> they've cleared the gym. strip searched basically everybody in the gym looking for any type of wounds, any type of suspected blood that may be on the clothing, on the skin. so it's kind of a, you know, a vague situation where we got to figure out what's going on and interview the suspects again, see what happens. >> after being treated for his injuries, david is moved to administrative segregation for his own protection as the investigation progresses. >> i was sweeping underneath my bunk and i come around the other side to sweep underneath it, sort of walk around, and i go down to wipe underneath.
when i looked down, that's when i felt the first impact in here and then he kept hitting me until i blacked out. i could feel one hitting me here, one in the body and one on this side. two on this side and one on this side, but i never saw their faces or their bodies. >> tell me, what did the doctor say about your injuries? >> oh, nothing, it's just -- got a skull fracture right in here. everything else is all right. >> because of limited surveillance in the gym, no officers witnessed the assault. and due to prison politics, inmates refused to talk. >> in our search this trash can contained clothing that had blood on the bottom of the boots and on the side of the boots. >> whether it was checking for some reason, maybe he knows somebody, disrespect, something
like that may have happened. okay? obviously, whoever did it what they did is tried to clean up before anybody saw anything, before anybody showed up. obviously, you have a gym full of inmates, almost 100 inmates, whatever the number is in here, you've got two officers. it's kind of hard to see things every day. if something like this happens, the inmate's going to get rid of their stuff, get rid of their clothing, any type of blood they may have on them, towels, whatever they may have, they're going to get rid of them if they can. that's why we're going to do a thorough search. search the gym, every area possible, find stuff and take it as evidence, get it processed. >> you see on the bottom of the boots there's blood right there, some blood stains up here. looks like possible blood right here on the side of the boot too. >> basically what we're doing is we're taking a sample of that boot. we use sterile water and take a q-tip. we take a sample and drop it in here. what we do is we bring it to the ampoule.
once we shake this up, once we bring it inside the liquid, it comes out like this in that greenish-blue color, basically means it's positive for blood. we found two pairs of shoes, a pair of pants so far that could have been possibly in the crime scene. they had blood on them. we tested them for blood. they came up positive. the thing is that all these inmates basically wear the same things. you know, they have the blue jeans, the blue shirts, the boots, all state-issued. the thing is, once he gets rid of them, basically, it doesn't tie him to anything. by doing this, we have a positive, take it to the lab, we can have it tested, we can test it for dna, basically. which can tie it either to the victim or possibly the suspect. hopefully the suspect. >> extensive searching yields solid results. >> basically, these two pairs of pants were in the laundry bag here. and looks like there might be some blood stains on them. so we use the test to test for the positive presence of blood.
it appears to be positive. it's not quite as dark as we'd like it to be. we'll take a couple more swabs. as for now, this is definitely in the right direction as for identifying suspects. >> the investigation leads the officers to evidence in inmate carlton moran's laundry bag and they quickly take him off the yard. >> turn around and walk towards us. keep going, keep going. keep going, keep going. stop. he's clearly a suspect. >> what do you want to do with this one? >> he needs to go to the clinic. have them do a 7219. strip him out again in there. 7219. check his hands real good and check his socks. see if he has any -- maybe any redness or blood splatter around his shins. >> you do everything the officer tells you to do, okay? >> not a problem.
>> while they're searching his laundry bag, they found pants that had suspected blood stains. they utilized a test to do it and it tested presumptive positive for blood so therefore he's a suspect. so pending the investigation we'll go ahead and put him in administrative segregation. >> why do you want to go to administrative segregation? >> not at this time. >> we'll note it on the lockup order. basically what happened was an inmate was assaulted in the gym, right? after we did a thorough search, pants located in your laundry bag contained suspected blood stains on the pants. so therefore, pending investigation, you're going to administrative segregation. because right now if we keep you in the gym, you jeopardize the integrity of the investigation. >> so i'm being written up for the fight? >> yeah.
so that's what's going to happen. all righty? i'll get an officer to get you some clothes here in just a minute. >> with a white suspect and a southern hispanic victim, officers are wary of retaliation that could explode into a race riot. >> hey, step outside for me real quick. how many south siders? you've got two south siders over there? what's dude that came from level one? is that him? >> he's right here. actually, he's right here. out with these white boys right here. >> yeah. and then the dude to his right is a south sider as well. what's his name? >> that's -- that's a white dude. okay, okay. that's grande. >> he's a south sider. >> he's a south sider. that's grande. >> basically, since we have a white suspect and a southern hispanic victim, we're seeing how the races are interacting on the yard.
see if we might have a race problem. if the whites were on one side of the yard and the southern hispanics were on the other side then we could possibly have issues which we'd probably have more response out here and remove them from the yard. or separate them. but since they're interacting fine it's not an issue right now. it appears that the whites just assisted the southern hispanics. that's what it appears, anyways. >> escort. >> apparently this guy has a shattered jaw, mutilated face. he said as you could see by my 1217 there were no marks on me, my hands anywhere. i'm not a violent criminal. there's no hiding under the radar, especially at corcoran. this is the top notch. they don't play games here. i know there's a rat everywhere you go, so, you know, if worse comes to worst hopefully the rat
will pinpoint whoever did it. either that or the investigation, one of the two will clear my name. that's all that matters to me. next, did isu nab the right guy? >> it's only obvious i didn't get in a fight. there ain't a mark on me. >> also ahead, an unorthodox gang pops up on the sny. >> i'm a gay boy gangster. >> we're just a group of people that are gay and pretty much stand for our own. discover card! wait, i can freeze my account.

out of control. >> one day i was tired working double shifts. i'm a supervisor and i was turned on to a line of meth. that was it. and it just consumed me. during my high, i started robbing banks. i have a tattoo on the back of my neck that says wicked. i go by "wicked" in prison. i have a dark side. so i wanted to be called wicked, and i didn't cover it up good enough. i was sloppy. i was really high that day and i walked right up to the counter, didn't stand in line. walked right up to it, pulled my .40 glock out of my pocket, and said, give me your money, no bait money, no dye packs, don't push the silent alarm and i want both first and second drawers. how do i know this?
because i watch discovery channel. called my dad. i go, i'm being pulled over right now by the cops. and he goes, well, you're running, you have a gun in the car, you're high. it's over. throw the gun out, throw all your drugs out and give yourself up. so i did. >> clement found out the brutal consequences of trying to hide his sexuality in prison. >> i got to county. i claimed native american so i was put in with the south siders. they didn't ask me if i was gay. somebody came in and recognized me and outed me in front of the whole dorm. and the south siders got a little upset with that. >> although clement lives in the sensitive needs yard at corcoran, he fears his sexual orientation makes him a target for assault. he looks to a particular group for protection. >> there's a clique called gay boy gangsters, and basically how
you get jumped in is county jail or you come to prison and it's a group of men that are gay. i got it tattooed on my wrists. we are pretty much respected. we don't get into fights. we don't get into that sort of thing. but we have a pretty good following and the chino and pelican bay, even on the gp yards, there are gay boy gangsters that are not on the sny yard. we're just a group of people that are gay and pretty much stand for our own. you know? that's our car is gay and then pretty much we're -- that's our car. >> while clements says the gbg is not a violent gang, some members can't leave their violent lifestyles in the past. >> i usually go by the nickname demon. i'm a gay boy gangster.
>> they call us gbgs. you have to be able to fight to get in the gay boy gangsters. most gay boy gangsters are previous gang members that dropped out or kicked out because of their sexual orientation. on the mainland i ran as a skinhead. i just tried to be that guy, the tough guy. someone needed to get beat up i raised my hand. anybody that tries to forcefully take property, rape or in any way hurt a homosexual that can't defend themselves, that's where we step in. we come in and tell them, check this out. this in your one and only warning. leave our people alone. do not put hands on our people. do not try to hurt them. you will -- you will get hurt. and if they don't stop, we just take off on them. we beat them up. i just came out of the shu for possession of a weapon. i was trying to go out to the
yard to stab some guy that beat up a homosexual that couldn't defend himself. me and the guy had gotten into a fight previously, because he beat up a gay boy, and the dude told me he was going to stab me. i told him to get his knife. i went in and got my knife. well, i guess he had went into his building and told the cops that i was coming out and i was going to stab him, and when i was leaving my building the cop told me if you have a weapon, inmate turner, put the weapon on the ground and lay down. so i complied and they cuffed me up and took me to the hole. >> nicholas came to the sny yard to escape the drama of the general population. but upon his arrival, he quickly learned no yard is free of prison politics. >> when i got to sny i found out it's not what it's supposed to be. you have more politics in sny than you do on the mainline. you got a bunch of people that think, oh, i'm in pc, i can run my mouth however i want, i can do whatever i want.
then they see a homosexual in pc and it's like, oh, yeah, he's in pc because he's weak. and i -- i have a conflict about being viewed as being weak. >> the gbg isn't the only gang on the sny. >> there's the 25ers out here on the yard. >> don't say nothing about that [ bleep ] -- let's go, let's go. >> we can't talk about it on the yard really. >> carlton would rather sit in ad seg then shed light on his own case. >> once you tell on somebody you're over there on "c" yard with the pc cases that are out. we live in a pick and choose world.

>> the reason why we have your down here is because we're searching your cell. got information that either you or your cellie are involved with the 2-5s. have you ever heard of the 2-5s? >> i've heard of them, but i have nothing to do with them. >> while they're up there searching the cell, it appears at this point that -- well, they haven't found anything up to this point. i don't anticipate finding anything on you. we're looking at your cell ie. it will be okay. just relax. all right? >> come on. >> why do you think i'm here? >> i probably already know. you guys were up in my house two weeks ago. >> who was up in your house? >> put two and two together. >> put your hands up. who was up in your house? >> a guy was. >> it wasn't my crew. >> it was. >> okay. take this off.

nothing in there. come on, man. i ain't going to bull [ bleep ] you. >> i've got to deal with this. it's just prison. at any time you can just be taken out of your comfort zone and put you wherever they see fit. if they deem you a hazard. even if no relevance or anything. it's just crazy. >> basically what we found, this guy's a bit of a tattoo artist. he's got all of the tattoo magazines. so we were thinking, oh, we're going to find something. well, we found one tattoo gun, two tattoo guns. and, you know, they say where there's smoke, there's fire. what we'll do is we'll book him on rules violation and maybe get loss of privileges or something. it is contraband. >> light bulbs, inmate manufacture, cigarette holders. graffiti with 666 on it. >> we'll confiscate it and leave them a receipt. that concludes this cell search.
pretty much hit what we needed to hit and found what we needed to find. so we're done in here. >> the igi team also finds a sketch of dice with the numbers 2 and 5 in robert's cell. this could earn him a point and bring him one step closer to being validated as a 2-5 member. >> i got a drawing in pen up there. i believe it's in my folder. that's all that is. that dice and all that [ bleep ]. you guys trip on numbers and all of that. i don't put too much emphasis on numbers. me, i feel what is real and that is it. i don't do that [ bleep ]. you know i was going to be straight up. you know if i wasn't going to be straight up --fy got something to hide, why wouldn't i give myself up? >> how many 2-5ers do we have left on this side? >> i'm going to tell you the truth, that i know of, none, because the simple fact that either you got them all or you scared them so bad that they went into hiding. >> robert now has two out of three points the igi needs to validate him as a 2-5 member.
if another piece of evidence is discovered, he could spend the rest of his sentence in the shu. >> you know what? this whole thing is a cat and mouse game. this whole chasing these guys, cat and mouse game. they're going to get over on us most of the time and we're going to get over on them. it is our work, you know. i could say, hey, you know what, this identifies with that. it's dice. you know, i could say that's a 2 and that's a 5. to me, does it seem like it's weak? yeah. would i like to get him on a stronger point? something that's going to stick? of course. >> i got one more point and i'm gone. >> what do you mean? >> your validation points. i don't know what for -- but one more point, i'm gone. >> as far as the 2-5s they are out here, yeah, they're scared because they know we're coming and they know we're going to come out here and when we take them away they get locked up. the majority of time you don't come back to a gp. that's the difference you mess around with igi and you catch
i believe that's a "kraken", bruce. it looks like he's going to go with a nine iron. that may not be enough club... well he's definitely going to lose a stroke on this hole. if you're a golf commentator, you whisper. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. this golf course is electric... with robert kofman one point away from validation, the igi continues its crackdown on other suspected 2-5 members on the sny, including luis dunchez. >> inmate dunchez was identified
as a 2-5. i put together a validation package for him. it was submitted to the office of correctional safety and the points were good enough to validate him. he's now validated as a member of the 2-5. he had tattoos on him. with a 2-5. he had other written material in his property, 2-5. so slam dunk with that guy. he's now validated as a 2-5 member. >> luis is brought before an institutional classification committee in ad seg to determine if the evidence against him will land him in the shu. >> i'm here to see in i'm going to get validated or not. >> as? >> as a destructive group gang member. >> what group? >> 2-5. >> what's that? >> some type of sny group and they're trying to say i'm part of it. i'm going to find out if i'm getting -- >> what do you say? >> i'm saying no. but it's not up to me, it's up to them. >> why are you on sny? >> i don't want to participate through being in the mainline to avoid having to go through anything like this. i get there and i go through it anyway.
>> do you understand what happened today? >> yeah. >> okay. what's happening? >> you guys are validating me for something. you guys are saying i done but i didn't do nothing. you guys are saying i have been destructive. what have i been out there that has made me destructive? why am i being validated for it if i haven't done anything wrong? >> an investigation, obviously you understand you did receive your lockup order explaining the reasons for your placement in ad seg. did you receive a copy of that? you also had an administrative hearing back on 2/19 -- excuse me, says february 19th, '08. delineates your continued placement here in ad seg. you did receive that document. right? >> yeah. >> and you understand that document? >> yes. >> okay. and that document explains to you once again because you were validated as a disruptive group which will then be changed to a prison gang. all individuals who are involved in prison gangs once are validated are then placed in permanent shu because you now
become a safety and security issue to the general population and/or the sny facility. we have no other recourse but to rehouse you from a gp or sny setting or permanent shu. >> i haven't gotten any write-ups. since i've been in prison. it's my first time being in jail. and i came straight from juvenile hall. so the whole time up and down haven't rioted or gotten in problems, nothing. >> do you agree or disagree? >> disagree. >> what is it you disagree with? >> everything. >> anything in particular? >> you guys trying to say i'm a threat. i ain't a threat to nobody. >> thank you. i appreciate that. you have a nice day. we need to go ahead and document he disagrees with the validation. >> what does this mean for you? >> indeterminate shu. >> which means what for you? >> be transferred from here to a shu program.
>> now what? >> what can i do? can't do nothing about it. >> as luis' fate is sealed, clement and angel grow restless waiting to hear if they'll be allowed to cell together. >> it's not good. >> he thinks because we're on camera that it's going to affect the move even more. and today, we were -- we had a good yard. we had a really good yard. we were holding hands the whole time, walking the track. and we were matching -- very well. we were wearing matching sweats. and -- i don't know. i enjoyed it. how about you? >> it was all right. >> all right? how many times did we kiss in the yard? 50 times. and it was all right? really?
honest to god. >> it doesn't mean nothing. >> no, it doesn't mean anything. but still. we had a good time. >> yeah, we had a good time. but -- i don't know. i just finished up today. and you know why. >> why? because we're not together. it will be a lot better when we get in the cell. but i keep saying that to him and it gets him frustrated. >> i'll tell you what. if we're not together by this friday, you should know. know what's going to happen. >> all right. there it is. >> ain't got nothing to do with you, though. >> what is it going to do? you're going to roll up, you're going to go to a different building, you're going to stress me out. right? is this what this is all about? >> ain't nobody saying about me rolling it up. >> okay. >> i never -- >> all right. i told you just to hang in
there. if you can't hang in there -- if you can't hang -- honest to god. if you can't hang in there, why are we even -- why are we even doing this? i mean, honest to god, really, we fell in love through a door and we can't handle this little bit? you know? >> okay. okay. >> all right. >> the issue is, is this all going to be worth it in the end? i'm 38 years old. he's 23 years old. he's married, he has all these issues. we can't even move in together. and then, he's already given me an ultimatum because he's frustrated. i'm -- i don't know. i'm just -- you know. >> you better in the be shooting nothing there. >> i'm sorry. you were there. you was just there.
that's me being funny. i wouldn't be wicked if i wouldn't be doing that. coming up on "lockup: extended stay," clement lives up to his nickname. >> i'm lying. and am i going to tell him? no. of course not. ce through progressive, you'll save a bundle! [ laughs ] jamie. right. make a bad bundle joke, a buck goes in the jar. i guess that's just how the cookie bundles. now, you're gonna have two bundles of joy! i'm not pregnant. i'm gonna go. [ tapping, cash register dings ] there you go. [ buzzing ] bundle bee coming! it was worth it! saving you a bundle when you bundle -- now, that's progressive. look aon tripadvisor.l hotel wait. why leave the site? don't you know the tripadvisor you've always trusted for reviews, book! now checks over 200 websites to find the best price?
it's yard. and yet, you two aren't out here together. talk to me about that. >> well, because my yard was this morning. we're both bottom tiers. and if he is out here, i'd like to see him. where is he? hey, is my boy out here? it's going to be, like, yard recall in a few minutes. so, i don't know. i don't know if he's out here or not. >> in the five weeks since we first met clement and angel their relationship has hit many obstacles.
today, our producers learn that angel was moved to another building on sny for undisclosed reasons. >> yeah, lovers in turmoil. he got moved out of the building. and he went to four block. and he doesn't like it over there. and, you know, i'm still over here. so -- we still see each other on the yard every day. and we try to make the best of it. actually, about three couples have been split up. i would say 80% of these relationships are because of sex. and if you can't have sex in the yard or in your cell, you know, i mean, you're together. then you might as well find somebody that's going to be compatible and have sex. and it's all about sex right now. >> days later, our crew caught up with clement.
and he told us the real story. >> hi. well, the other day you came and asked me how i was doing. that was just a big, old, fat lie. a big, old, fat lie. i was a big, old, fat liar. what happened was -- i had sex with my cellie. and then i come out here every night and tell angel, oh, nothing's going on. i'm lying. i don't know how i feel about that. i -- it's wrong because i'm seeing somebody else. and i don't know. >> everything's going good between me and wicked. we're still together, like i said. i hope everything ends a good way. i'm very happy that everything is going well with us. and i hope it continues being that way.
>> he's 23 years old. and he's not going to take it well because, you know, he's kind of like -- he's into me. >> everything supposedly is going good. and i'm going to keep it that way because i don't want to go somewhere else. >> i guess we're living one big, fat lie. we're just liars here. and i don't know. it's hard to have a relationship with somebody that's not -- that's not going to be in my cell. i don't see angel and i celling up together. they're just not going to let us cell up together. it's just going to be -- and my cellie approached me. and it just happened. it was one of those things that just happened, you know? but i feel -- i feel really, really guilty. honestly. you would think i wouldn't with the name wicked. but i really, really feel guilty. i really feel bad. and am i going to tell him? no, of course not.
>> after weeks of investigation, the isu team has come to a conclusion regarding carlton moran's involvement in the "a" yard assault. >> he's a white boy, the assault happened with the south siders, so mexicans. he was -- we pretty much ruled him out as being a suspect. usually when they do a check in, as they call it, it would be their own race that does it. we have a few cis, confidential informants, that are reliable which stated why it occurred. it pretty much eliminated moran from being a suspect. what we'll do is we'll close it out. we'll do a confidential or closure chronos. we'll submit that to committee. and they'll make a decision. we pretty much have a knowledge of who it might be. we're trying to gather more evidence and more facts on that. >> carlton was subsequently released from ad seg but declined to talk to our
producers any further due to fear of retaliation. america's prisons, dangerous, often deadly. there are 2 million people doing time. every day is a battle to survive and to maintain order. >> down, on your feet! down! >> among the nation's toughe, california state prison corcoran, severely overcrowded and plagued by racial tension. we spent months inside, where officers try to maintain order in an institution with a notoriously violent past. this is "lockup: corcoran extended stay."

President Cyril Ramaphosa has committed to developing a comprehensive social compact to grow Mzansi’s economy, create jobs and fight poverty within 100 days – this creates an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to be part of this change.
South Africa has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world, with 46% of those aged between 15 and 24 without work. However, entrepreneurship is one of the best ways to drive economic development and create jobs. With more than 50% of entrepreneurs being youth, it’s clear the next generation is shaping the future.
Therefore, Fetola, in partnership with FNB, is looking to give aspiring entrepreneurs the business skills they need to succeed through their Youth Start-up Accelerator (YSA). It is designed to help unemployed youths, graduates, matriculants and aspiring entrepreneurs turn innovative ideas into feasible businesses.
“The government has announced many encouraging programmes to increase youth employment, but we believe in empowering youth to create jobs for themselves and their peers. South Africa’s young people are full of potential and innovation, and the YSA programme looks to unleash that,” says Busisiwe Bebeza, Programme Manager: Business Incubation at Fetola.
YSA is a fresh, innovative one-year programme designed to help young aspiring entrepreneurs grow and develop their business ideas – and to turn the tide on youth unemployment while they’re at it. This progamme is calling all hustlers, dreamers and creators, to be one of 100 youth to harness their power to grow Mzansi by growing their business ideas.
YSA is a platform dedicated to connecting and engaging with South African youth start-ups during the critical beginning stages of their businesses. It aims to nurture the next generation of South African movers and shakers, by giving them the skills they need so that their businesses not only survive but thrive.
Mentorship, job shadowing opportunities and skills training will encourage participants to learn how to think like the best, master their mindset and own their motivation.
“There are numerous challenges facing our young entrepreneurs, but there are also programmes such as YSA that offer targeted and tailor-made solutions to help young
entrepreneurs learn the skills they need to thrive. We know young entrepreneurs has what it takes to become the next generation of economic drivers. By being part of YSA, they have the chance to empower and grow the iKasi economy. It’s time to make growing Mzansi their business.,” adds Bebeza.
(this programme is for you if you are…)
- Between 18 and 35 years old, with a startup or unique idea for starting a business
- Running a black-owned business less than six months old, with a turnover of less than R1 million
- An aspiring youth entrepreneur who is either unemployed or working part-time

The other day, I started a meditation with the intention to end my participation in the experiment in duality. Many of you have probably sat in your meditation chair for the same reason. This is a valid reason for meditating. Some might even say it is THE reason to meditate – End the Experiment in Duality and become a Full Living Master.
However, I realized my urgency to finally end my participation in the experiment was because I didn’t want to listen to and become frustrated with the next election cycle in the United States. As Kris Duffy, a great master said, “It’s not the What. It’s the Why.”
My “why” for wanting to end my participation in the experiment wasn’t because I have truly given myself over to the higher frequencies of Love, Wisdom and Power. It wasn’t because I wanted to be of service to others from the higher frequency of a Full Living Master. It was because I didn’t want to hear anyone else’s take on love, wisdom and power. I didn’t want to listen to others tell me they are being of service and acting for the benefit of the country, when all I see is divisiveness.
As soon as I realized what I was doing – that I was masking a negative spiral down in energy with the rhetoric of meditating my way to a higher frequency – I stopped. I laughed at myself. And I saw the mirrors of the outer world for what they are. Mirrors of me working on my own ability to hold Divine Love, Wisdom and Power. Mirrors of my own divisiveness between my lower-self ego and my true self as Source.
Now that I am not trying to end the experiment as a form of highly effective noise canceling headphones, here are a few of the recommendations I heard from guidance.
- Clear judgment of any and all humans and artificial intelligence creations – politicians, reporters, online bots, citizens, non-citizens and foreign interests.
- Allow others to be who and what they are no matter where they might be in their process. Clear judgment of where they might be in their process.
- Detach from what others feel, think, say and do. Everyone is allowed their own opinion even if it appears to me that the opinion is based on fear, group think, misinformation or manipulative actions. See the mirrors for when I act from fear, group think, misinformation or manipulative actions. Trust in guidance as my source of truth. Trust guidance for my action steps in alignment with the highest good of all.
- Clear giving my power and my physical, mental and emotional well-being to the Constitution of the United States and to those people and institutions who tell me what my relationship with the Constitution should be.
- Clear blocks to divine communication with all aspects of myself. Take steps to heal any separation between all aspects of myself.
- Be open to more recommendations.
- Clear self-judgment when I fall short on implementing these recommendations.
- Lather, rinse, repeat.
That is my list of recommendations. Sit with your soul to determine what recommendations will help you end your participation in the experiment of duality.

I have been working with the energy of Divine Self-Image recently. In a meditation early this morning, I saw an image of myself as a chocolate Easter bunny. That might sound like a great Self-Image, but I wasn’t the sought after solid chocolate bunny. I was a hollow bunny. Wow. This really struck me hard. But, it made sense. I realized that I sometimes feel like I am just a thin veneer of Source, not the real deal. Sometimes I feel like I facilitate others to be Source, but don’t manage to truly experience myself as Source. I also asked if the hollowness was some sort of negative energy. I heard it was just empty, hollow, not necessarily dark.
After grappling with this image and introspection, I started to clear the reason and causes why I felt empty and like an imposter. Then, I started to bring in the resonances of Divine Authenticity and I really stuck the landing with thirty minutes or more of filling every cell with the resonance of I AM SOURCE. I also used the energy technique of the Microcosmic Orbit to allow the resonance of I AM SOURCE to flow through my entire body multiple times. I am sure I will need to repeat this self-healing session in order to clear out the issues not yet fully healed and to be able to truly hold and integrate these resonances. But, this is the start and a good way forward.
After this session on myself, I jokingly saw myself as a milk chocolate covered macadamia nut from Hawaii. I just happen to have some of those on hand and they are divine!

“I’m sorry. I was wrong. I don’t know. I need help.” In her Three Pines Series, Louise Penny has her character, Chief Inspector Gamache – a French Canadian detective – often quote these four sentences telling his listener that these four sentences lead to wisdom. “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I don’t know. I need help.”
Reading these four sentences, makes me question how many of the 3D traumas and dramas would be eased or never occurred in the first place if we were willing to allow ourselves to be this wisdom. “I’m sorry. I was wrong. I don’t know. I need help.”
Penny also quotes the following two sentences often. “There is always another story. There is more than meets the eye.” These two sentences get to the heart of not judging a situation too quickly. We might not know the struggles or the “why” behind someone’s actions and beliefs.
I am reading Penny’s latest installment of her murder mystery series A World of Curiosities. Because Gamache believes the two sentences of “There is always another story. There is more than meets the eye,” he says the other four sentences to a troubled and belligerent young police officer. Gamache sees something in the young man that is hidden underneath his bluster. Gamache believes the young man is not a lost cause, when the local department head is getting ready to fire the police officer. (This is the backstory of how the troubled young officer becomes Gamache’s son-in-law.) If Gamache had not been patient and understanding, Jean-Guy’s life would have taken a much different direction.
As I strive to be the change in the world that I want to see in the world, I am going to remember Penny’s wisdom. What wisdom will help you move forward in the world?

My husband often likes to quip that “better is the enemy of good enough.” The saying comes from many wise people including the French writer, Voltaire, and the French philosopher, Montesquieu. Shakespeare writes a similar phrase in King Lear, “striving to better, oft we mar what’s well.”
Most of the time, this is a philosophy of mine that I whole heartedly practice. I do not strive for perfection that often – partially because in the third dimensional world the concept of perfection is both subjective and judgmental. Partially because when it comes to gadgets, stylish furnishings and fashions, I am frugal. (I don’t need to tell you all that! You have seen it!) And partially because my self-worth is rarely tied up with how things look in the outer world.
However, there are times, especially in our healing and spiritual work, where striving for the best is worth it. That is what I have been guided to do lately. I have been guided to ask my soul to let me know if I am holding an energy technique long enough. Am I looking deep enough at a situation in order to pick up on a nuanced issue that I have been running over because of thinking that “better is the enemy of good enough”?
Ginger Withee’s blog entry for last month does a nice job of explaining Sir David John Brailsford’s “marginal gains” philosophy. She explains that by making incremental improvements, we can really make huge shifts. Every Step Counts – Standing in the Light (iamstandinginthelight.com)
I have been focusing my intention on these incremental improvements in order to access as much energy and light as I can within the practice and time that I have already allotted to my inner work. I have seen the changes by simply being more mindful of how I practice healing techniques. You may want to check with your soul regarding what practice you may be able to improve simply by asking and setting your intention to be more mindful instead of getting stuck in a pattern than doesn’t go into enough specific detail for your evolution.
I am striving to remember that evolution and Ascension are the goals. To paraphrase another saying – Ascension is in the details. Let us continue to focus our attention on Ascension and the details that will take us there.

Some people like to say that we are humans having a divine experience. Lightworkers like to say that we are Divine having a human experience. I believe we are both.
We are being guided to remember that we have incarnated as a human in this lifetime in order to experience our divinity in human form. Our divinity and our humanity are not mutually exclusive. In fact, our divinity and our humanity coexist, because we need both to understand each aspect and to understand the whole.
My divinity is my humanity. My humanity is my divinity. My humanity and my divinity are together like oxygen and hydrogen in a water molecule – both are required for the essence of water to be water. Whether the water molecule presents itself as ice, or as liquid, or as steam, it is still H2O. It is the combining of hydrogen and oxygen that makes the whole of the water molecule, not the physical form it takes. Ice is not better or inferior to steam, it is just a different manifestation of H2O.
As I evolve from only knowing myself as the 3D Lower-Self Ego to the 4D Self into the 5D Being – I AM LORI. I am just different versions and different frequencies of Lori – both human and divine. My divinity and my humanity will hold the key to why I volunteered to be in the experiment and this knowingness is what will allow me to continue to clear my issues, raise my frequency to the point I no longer need to be in the experiment. No matter where I go from there, as I absorb more light, I will evolve into a higher frequency being, but I will always have the essence of Lori within me. No physical transformation will take away the experiences I have had as Lori – human, divine, both. I am all. I AM SOURCE.
May you know yourself as Source,
I AM LORI

We look to the North for the next preview as we take a look at Dave Mitchell’s Luther Norsemen squad and what they bring to the table in 2015-16. Last year Luther put together a top ten finish at the national tournament and crowned three All-Americans in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Coming back into this season Luther only graduates third place finisher Evan Obert (133) and NCAA qualifier Jayden DeVilbiss (184), but coming into this season the Norse have a lot to work with to improve upon last year’s finish.
A big cog in the Luther lineup is without a doubt their 141-pound wrestler and NCAA runner-up Drew Van Anrooy, who is looking to finish off his career for the Norse. Last season Van Anrooy put together a 25 win season and only lost two matches all year with one of those being his 4-2 sudden victory loss in the finals to Hunter’s Cary Palmer. If Luther is to finish in the top ten again, they will be relying on Van Anrooy racking up a lot of points as he did in 2015.
The other returning All-American in the lineup is heavyweight Conner Herman, who will also look to finish up his career with the Norse with another trip to the podium. Herman was surprisingly third in the Central Regional qualifier for the NCAA tournament, but he ended up being one of two All-Americans to come out of his regional, joining Wartburg heavyweight Ben Nagle. Nagle will be back for 2016 as well, so Herman will not be the favorite at his weight in the IIAC, but he will be right there at the top.
Mitchell’s team also returns quite a few NCAA qualifiers from 2015 including 29 match winner Dakota Gray at 149 pounds and 165-pound standout Blake Letney, who finished one win shy of 20 on the season. Both Gray and Letney join Van Anrooy and Herman as seniors in the lineup and it is that veteran experience that will play a large role in this season.
That just leaves Reed Van Anrooy as the other returning NCAA qualifier for Luther, who will look to return to the 157 pound spot in the lineup. The larger Van Anrooy missed a portion of the season due to injury which opened the door for Tristan Zurfluh to get some valuable experience in the lineup while filling in. Coming into this season Zurfluh won’t be going away and should challenge for the 157-pound spot.
125 Spencer Davies FR
133 Nick Scheffert SR
141 Drew Van Anrooy SR
149 Dakota Gray SR
157 Reed Van Anrooy JR or Tristan Zurfluh JR
165 Blake Letney SR
174 David Kremer SR or Billy Poray SO
184 Justin Kreiter JR
197 Paxton Jordahl or Derek Stork
285 Conner Herman SR
From there Luther will need to replace four of their spots in the lineup for the upcoming season, with three of those spots opening up from graduation. Senior Nick Scheffert will be the leader in the 133 pound race, and he has a tall task ahead of him trying to replace Obert, who was a household name among Luther fans.
With NCAA qualifier DeVilbiss moving on, last year’s 174 pound starter Justin Kreiter will bump up in the lineup to try and fill that hole. Kreiter finished one spot out of the automatic qualifying spot at Regionals last year losing a tough match to eventual Coe All-American Ryan Harrington in the consolation finals.
With Kreiter moving up, one of David Kremer or Billy Poray will try and fill into the 174-pound spot in the lineup. Kremer is a senior, where Poray will be just a sophomore this coming season.
Another lineup battle will come down at 197 pound where one of Paxton Jordahl or Derek Stork will try to solidify their spot in the lineup with the departure of Tyler Walls.
That leaves just the 125-pound spot in the lineup, which will also see a change with last year’s starter transferring out of Luther. We should see freshman Spencer Davies make his was into the lineup. Davies didn’t get a ton of time in last season due to injury, but he comes in with a solid Wisconsin pedigree, taking fourth, third, and second at the state tournament.
That should wrap up the Luther starting lineup for the 2015-16 season. It’s not easy to lose a talent like Obert, but the Norse return a lot of quality wrestlers from the 2015 season, with a good chunk of them getting NCAA experience. Luther should get to see some great competition right off the bat, as they host the annual Luther Open near the start of the NCAA season. Typically Division I programs like Iowa and Minnesota have sent many quality wrestlers to the event. The Norse will also travel to Tennessee for the Gator duals and once again to Indiana for the NWCA National Duals.

3 Weekends Course. What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is an invasive procedure whereby solid filament (acupuncture) needles are inserted into the skin and muscle directly at a myofascial triggerpoint.
A myofascial triggerpoint (sometimes known as a knot) consists of multiple contraction knots, which are related to the production and maintenance of the pain cycle. The approach is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles which are not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture (Travell & Simons 1999).
How does Dry Needling work?
The pioneering studies by Dr Shah and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health (USA) suggest that inserting a needle into trigger points can cause favourable biochemical changes which assist in reducing pain. It is essential to elicit a Local Twitch Response which is a spinal cord reflex and is the first step in breaking the pain cycle.
- Something causes pain, if it happens often enough or if the trauma is great enough, the pain signal may return through the Sympathietic Ganglion and activate Primary Afferent Nocioceptors (H) which will feedback to the spinal cord. This will cause pain to continue instead of fade and is called a Reflex Arc.
- At the same time motor neurones may become stuck in a feedback loop/reflex arc, facilitating muscle spasm. In some cases the reflex arc continues for years, even decades.
- Introducing a new stimulus (i.e. the needle) impedes the reflex arc and has the effect of relaxing the muscle.
What can Dry Needling help?
Dry needling can be used for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. Muscles are thought to be a primary contributing factor to the symptoms. Conditions which respond to dry needling include, but are not limited to:
- Frozen Shoulder
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Golfer’s elbow
- Buttock pain
- Leg pain
- Hamstring strains
- Shin splints
- Muscle Spasms
- Sciatic Pain
- Hip Pain
- Knee Pain
- Repetitive Strain Injuries

Chen Qi waved to Aze. "Aze, can you dig this for me?"
Aze squatted down and looked at the small piece of dirt that had been torn away. Without further ado, he stretched out his claws and dug up three and a half fist-sized things in three or two times.
As soon as Chen Qi's eyes lit up, he brought them up, down, left, right, left, right, and checked them again. He also picked up the vine that had been torn off on one side and looked at it carefully several times. Sure enough, it was a familiar food often bought in vegetable markets, sweet potatoes.
There are so many strange things in this world that even Chen Qi, who used to eat food, dare not enter casually. He put one of them in front of Aze. "Aze, Aze, is this poisonous? Can I eat?"
Aze took it, wiped the dirt on it with his skirt, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and took a bite. Before Chen Qi could stop it, Aze chewed twice and swallowed the contents of his mouth. "You can eat."
Chen Qi forehead, helpless way: "Aze, next time you are not sure whether you can eat something, don't just put it in your mouth."
"Come on, come on, let's roast it and eat it." Chen Qi excitedly pulled Aze back to the fire and motioned Aze to dig another shallow pit nearby.
Chen Qi ordered Aze to take an action without asking why Chen Qi did so. The shallow pit was soon dug up. Chen Qi picked up a wooden stick, pulled the red-hot charcoal from the fire into the pit, then spread a thin layer of acacia leaves on it, put the two intact sweet potatoes and the one bitten by Aze on it, spread a layer of leaves before covering the soil, and then lit a small fire on it.
Aze smeared salt stones on the baked wart pig while watching Chen Qi busy, occasionally giving a hand. After Chen Qi had set up the small fire, Aze had already cut off a few slices of roasted wart pork and handed it to Chen Qi. The water in the water-based fruit had just boiled and was being put aside to cool down.
"Chen Qi, just dig out those roots is what thing? Why are you buried in the soil like this?" Aze was a little curious when he saw someone burying a charcoal fire in the soil and building a fire on it for the first time.
"sweet potato, this kind of thing tastes delicious when baked." Chen Qi broke off two clean straw sticks and used them as chopsticks. He took a wart pork and blew it gently before putting it into the import. He chewed it for a few times. However, it was not as delicious as it looked, and it also tasted a little bitter of salt stone.
"Sweet potato? This is the first time I know that this root can be eaten."
"Don't you usually eat?"
"Well, I've only seen people in the tribe gather fruit to eat." Aze tore off a leg of a pig. He didn't eat as fastidiously as Chen Qi. He held the leg directly in his hand and opened his mouth to eat. He acted boldly and was not afraid of scalding.
When Chen Qi heard this, he asked uncertainly, "Do you know that the Taoist priest can eat things underground?"
Aze looked sideways for a moment. "Well, we only eat what we can see, like fruit and animals."
Chen Qi nodded clearly. It seems that he will have to grope for more recipes.
The two solved half of the wart pig. Of course Chen Qi couldn't eat that much. After eating more than half of the pig's legs, they felt a little bored, and the others all fell out of Aze's stomach.

The two men had a rest. Chen Qi took a few sips of water to dilute the smell of roast meat in his mouth. When it was almost time, he removed the small fire and started digging with a stick.
The three sweet potatoes were not big. Chen Qi was afraid of scalding. He pressed the leaves and found that they had become extremely soft. He wrapped them in leaves and picked them up. As soon as he broke off the orange flesh inside, he came face to face with a strong and delicious aroma. Although it is different from what I bought in the vegetable market before, the taste is obviously stronger.
Aze stirred up his nose and said in surprise, "It smells good."
Chen Qi handed another complete one to Aze, "You have a try."
Aze took it and was stopped by Chen Qi when he wanted to speak directly. "This needs peeling, like this." Chen Qi showed Aze how to peel off the skin of sweet potatoes. He joked that it was baked directly from the soil. It was still covered with soil. How could it be eaten directly?
Aze learned the appearance of Chen Qi and peeled off the skin. After watching Chen Qi enjoy a bite, he took a bite. It was soft, waxy and sweet. It was as delicious as the smell. Aze was the first time to try this kind of taste and could not help but take another bite.
A sweet potato is not big. For Aze, two or three of them are gone. After eating it, he looked at Chen Qi with a little satisfaction. He saw the other side staring at him with a curved eyebrow eye. He handed him the last sweet potato that Aze had bitten before. "Here, how does it taste? Is it delicious?"
Aze nodded and did not answer, "This is delicious, you eat more."
Chen Qi shoved it directly into each other's hands. "You dug it up, so you should eat more. I haven't finished my own."
Aze looked at Chen Qi with some difficulty. "You didn't eat much meat just now."
Although the little wart pig is not big, most of its legs are not too small for Chen Qi. Chen Qi ignored him and wiped his hands with acacia leaves after eating. "Aze, are we sleeping in a tree tonight?"
Aze nodded with a somewhat complicated mood. He could feel Chen Qi's unspoken gentleness, which made him panic. He was afraid that he would have greedy desire for this gentleness. This was not what he should have as a female without pregnant stripes. He was abandoned by the beast god. Aze warned himself in his heart, bowed his head and pretended to be enjoying the delicious food in his hand, and gathered the emotion surging in his eyes.
After the two men had had enough to eat and drink, they simply tidied up. Aze also moved the remaining half warthog to the acacia tree. Only then did they carry Chen Qi back to rest on the thickest trunk.
Nothing happened overnight.
Chen Qi spent the night in the tree for the first time. Although the trunk was thick enough for him to lie flat and turn over, anyone who was allowed to sleep at a height of more than 10 meters could not rest at ease without any protective measures around.
Chen Qi was stiff and did not dare to move all night. His hands tightly clutched the trunk of the tree beneath him. He had been half asleep and half awake. After all, he had walked all day. Although he was alert after midnight, he fell into a sleepy sleep.
Chen Qi woke up a little confused in the morning. He thought that he was still in his comfortable big bed at home, and he rolled over habitually. He found that half of his body felt suspended. He looked closely and found that one leg had leaned out of the trunk of the tree more than ten meters high. He was shaking in mid-air. He was scared out of the cloud nine by what he was sleepy and just woke up. He carefully withdrew his leg and slowly moved to the trunk before patting his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking to the other side, I saw Aze standing on the outermost branch with his body half bowed. The muscles in his arm were stringy and blue veins stood out. His eyes were staring at the sky for a moment. It was like rushing out and fighting for something the next moment.
Hearing Chen Qi's voice, Aze turned his head, his face slightly cold and tense, and his expression instantly converged. He jumped back to the place where Chen Qi was, "You're awake."

"Mmm." Chen Qi nodded, "What were you doing just now?"
Aze held out his hand, palm is holding a white feather, there is a layer of translucent light fog constantly spread around, and then into the air. Chen Qi looked doubtfully at Aze's feather and then at Aze, "What is this?"
"Believe eagle feathers."
"Well, every time the eagle flies a distance, it drops a feather. The fog on it is the smell of the feather when it volatilizes. This is a message to inform his companions."
What strange bird is this? Can't you become bald after losing hair all the time? Chen Qi spit out a sentence in his heart, waiting for Aze to continue.
Aze's expression became heavy again. "The letter eagles all followed the hyenas and found the leakage. The letter eagles appeared, proving that there were hyenas nearby."
Although the information obtained by Chen Qi is very one-sided, and he has no impression at all on Xinying Eagle, he still knows a lot about the existence of Hyenas, which are almost bug at the top of the food chain. Aren't all dragons living in Loya forest? The Dora Plain can't sustain their survival needs at all. Why are hyenas here?
"Chen Qi, we need to leave immediately."
Now is not the time for Chen Qi to slowly explore. Hearing Aze say he wants to leave at once, he also nodded with a dignified face, "Okay, let's go now."
Aze hesitated a little, paused and said, "Chen Qi, I am fast enough to catch up with the wolf."
Chen Qi looked at each other strangely. Why did he say this at this time?
Aze continued, "I have great strength, and I can run behind your back all day."
Chen Qi suddenly realized that the other party was saying this. Of course, Chen Qi would not continue to insist on going by himself at this time. Hearing this, he patted Aze on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Then please."
Aze thought Chen Qi would still refuse. He just wanted to continue to persuade the other party, but the other party agreed at once. Instead, he was a little unresponsive and stood still.
"what's the matter? Let's go quickly." Chen Qi stretched out his hand and waved in front of daze.
"Oh, oh, good." Aze recovered and bowed his head in embarrassment, which was too humiliating.
Because he had to carry Chen Qi on his back, Aze only took two pieces of the softest skins and tied them to the front with the remaining half warthog last night. He left everything else on the acacia tree. Chen Qi originally suggested that he could help carry the luggage, but Aze refused.
The two buried the fire with earth last night and cleaned it up. Aze took up Chen Qi and left. Aze was really fast and several ups and downs were far away from the tall locust tree.
Not far away in the sky, a flaming bird with a wingspan of nearly two meters and a full-length flaming red rose to the sky, fluttering a feather behind it. The feather slowly became white as if it were fading in the process of falling, and began to emit a little transparent substance like water mist, which quickly melted into the surrounding air.

Tons of people are currently jumping on the health food craze. Many opt for a cleaner, healthier diet with more information about harmful additives and artificial ingredients being brought to light.
While you may worry about what you’re putting in your own body, stopping to think of your pet is also important. Many pet food recipes can be full of ingredients that aren’t ideal for your dogs or cats.
Low-quality pet food may be filled with chemical preservatives, artificial colors, sugar substitutes, and excessive salt. These ingredients and more can be extremely harmful to your fur baby. Side effects of harmful pet food ingredients could include hair loss, vomiting, diarrhea, kidney and liver damage, cancer, and in worst-case scenarios, death.
Many people love their pets and go above and beyond to care for them. From purchasing dog-friendly homeowners insurance to spoiling them with luxurious beds, their diet should be no exception.
So what are healthier options pet owners can feed their fur babies to avoid these health problems? Let’s find out.
Don’t Skip the Protein for Your Pet
A good, quality protein is a critical ingredient in healthy recipes for your pet. Dogs and cats need amino acids for their overall health, and protein can be an essential source.
There are many foods or treats you can provide your dog or cat packed with protein. However, it’s essential to pay attention to how easily digestible your protein source is. Some ingredients, such as beaks and hooves, may sound fun to mix in, but they are almost impossible for your pet to digest.
If your fur baby can’t digest the protein, it isn’t beneficial to their health. Instead, opt for eggs or cooked protein-rich meats such as beef, pork, turkey, or chicken. These ingredients are easily digestible for your dog or cat and will provide them with a rich source of protein.
As with any other recipe ingredients for your pet, protein isn’t a one-size-fits-all measurement. You will have to speak to your veterinarian and determine your pet’s best measurements based on their age, weight, and overall health.
Carbohydrates Are Key for Your Furry Friend
Carbohydrates are another essential ingredient for your pet to live a healthy life. Without proper carbohydrates, you may notice them feeling sluggish, tired, and not showing their personality.
Because carbohydrates are most important in providing energy to your pet, a diet without them can be detrimental to your pet’s overall health. Just as you need ample energy to feel your best, so too does your fur baby.
When adding healthy carbohydrates to your pet’s food recipes, there are many ingredients to choose from. Oatmeal, rice, sweet potatoes, peas, corn, and barley are all excellent sources of good carbs to include in any recipe you prepare.
As with protein and other ingredients, carbohydrates need to be measured for your pet’s needs. Consulting with your veterinarian before creating your recipe can ensure you’re providing the proper amount of carbs to meet your fur baby’s needs.
Make Sure Your Pet Gets Their Greens
Adding vegetables to your pet’s recipes is a great way to keep them happy and healthy. While excessive greens aren’t great for them, adding in a small number of approved veggies can be highly beneficial.
Vegetables are packed with essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals that are excellent for your pet’s overall health. However, when steering into the territory of vegetables, it’s important to remember your fur baby should not consume some of them.
Veggies like mushrooms and onions can be very harmful to your pet. Some mushrooms are toxic to dogs. While your run-of-the-mill grocery store mushrooms likely won’t cause a horrible reaction, it’s safer to avoid them altogether.
Onions — and all members of the Allium plant family, such as chives and leeks — can be poisonous to your cat or dog. Side effects from consuming onions may include vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and ruptured red blood cells.
It may seem scary to consider including vegetables in your pet’s diet after learning the adverse effects some can cause. But the good news is that many vegetables are incredibly healthy for your them to consume.
Pet-safe and healthy vegetables:
- Broccoli – Broccoli can be very beneficial for your pet in small amounts. It contains high fiber and vitamin C levels, making it an excellent ingredient for your pet’s recipes. Just be wary of adding too much, as excessive amounts can cause an upset stomach.
- Carrots – This veggie is an excellent source of fiber and vitamin A. Carrots are low in calories and can benefit your dog’s teeth as well, so they are a perfect addition to any recipe.
- Celery – Celery has many benefits for your pet, including vitamins A, B, and C, heart health, cancer prevention, and even fresher breath. It’s a great vegetable to include in any recipe.
- Zucchini – This squash offers a rich source of vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium for your pet. Zucchini can also help prevent infections, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
Though these veggies are not the only ingredients you can add to your pet’s diet, they are certainly a good starting point.
Mix in Some Healthy Fats for Your Fur Baby
Just like humans, animals need healthy fats in their diet to look and feel their best. When choosing fats, be sure not to overindulge your pet. Though fats are suitable for their overall health, too much can cause harmful side effects. Fats should be a minor ingredient portion in a recipe you prepare.
There is a wide variety of fats to choose from that your fur baby can enjoy in their meal. Typically, the most common sources of healthy fats come from nuts or oils.
It’s crucial to note when choosing nuts or nut-based spreads to avoid macadamia nuts. These can be poisonous to dogs, causing neurological damage and even death.
Other nut butter such as natural peanut butter and almond butter can be a great source of healthy fats for your pet. They can be wonderful additions to a raw diet or used in any recipe to provide them with essential nutrition and healthy skin.
A healthy diet can also include vegetable oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil. These can be used as ingredients for baking up a special treat for your fur baby or even added to a homemade meal.
Ingredients to Keep Your Pet Healthy
Having a pet is a big responsibility, and if you care for them like family, you want to feed them well. While it’s easy to simply pick up a bag of food at the store, paying attention to the ingredients is essential for your pet’s overall health. Take time to also consider pet insurance policies to help you pay for medical costs in case your pet eats something they shouldn’t.
If you want to know what your pet is consuming, these ingredients make an excellent base for healthy recipes. Your pet will love the delicious flavors, and you will rest easier knowing they are consuming only the best ingredients.

Features of effective staff training programmes within school-based interventions targeting student activity behaviour: a systematic review and meta-analysis
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity volume 19, Article number: 125 (2022)
Evaluations of school-based activity behaviour interventions suggest limited effectiveness on students’ device-measured outcomes. Teacher-led implementation is common but the training provided is poorly understood and may affect implementation and student outcomes. We systematically reviewed staff training delivered within interventions and explored if specific features are associated with intervention fidelity and student activity behaviour outcomes.
We searched seven databases (January 2015–May 2020) for randomised controlled trials of teacher-led school-based activity behaviour interventions reporting on teacher fidelity and/or students’ device-measured activity behaviour. Pilot, feasibility and small-scale trials were excluded. Study authors were contacted if staff training was not described using all items from the Template for Intervention Description and Replication reporting guideline. Training programmes were coded using the Behaviour Change Technique (BCT) Taxonomy v1. The Effective Public Health Practice Project tool was used for quality assessment. Promise ratios were used to explore associations between BCTs and fidelity outcomes (e.g. % of intended sessions delivered). Differences between fidelity outcomes and other training features were explored using chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. Random-effects meta-regressions were performed to explore associations between training features and changes in students’ activity behaviour.
We identified 68 articles reporting on 53 eligible training programmes and found evidence that 37 unique teacher-targeted BCTs have been used (mean per programme = 5.1 BCTs; standard deviation = 3.2). The only frequently identified BCTs were ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’ (identified in 98.1% of programmes) and ‘Social support (unspecified)’ (50.9%). We found moderate/high fidelity studies were significantly more likely to include shorter (≤6 months) and theory-informed programmes than low fidelity studies, and 19 BCTs were independently associated with moderate/high fidelity outcomes. Programmes that used more BCTs (estimated increase per additional BCT, d: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.05, 0.31) and BCTs ‘Action planning’ (1.40; 0.70, 2.10) and ‘Feedback on the behaviour’ (1.19; 0.36, 2.02) were independently associated with positive physical activity outcomes (N = 15). No training features associated with sedentary behaviour were identified (N = 11).
Few evidence-based BCTs have been used to promote sustained behaviour change amongst teachers in school-based activity behaviour interventions. Our findings provide insights into why interventions may be failing to effect student outcomes.
PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020180624
Many school-based interventions have been delivered worldwide to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour (e.g. [1, 2]). Review-level evidence shows these interventions have largely failed to change students’ device-measured activity behaviour [3,4,5]. Research to date has largely focused on assessing students’ activity behaviour outcomes. Equal efforts have not been applied to determine how interventions have been implemented. Consequently, reasons for outcomes remain largely unknown and existing guidance for schools on how to promote physical activity or reduce sedentary behaviour is vague and underpinned by weak evidence (e.g. ).
Medical Research Council (MRC) guidance highlights the need to focus on the most important areas of uncertainty to interpret observed outcomes arising from interventions delivered within complex systems (e.g. educational systems) [7, 8]. In school-based interventions, successful implementation is often dependent on teachers, who are selected to deliver new instructional programmes (e.g. a new sports programme or ‘active’ lesson) (e.g. [9,10,11]). To facilitate this process, teachers are frequently enrolled onto training programmes, the broad aim of which is to change their teaching practice(s). However little is known about the training they receive , and how this effects their professional practice and student outcomes.
The most recent review to examine staff training within school-based activity behaviour interventions was conducted in 2015 . Lander and colleagues evaluated features of training associated with significant changes in self-reported fundamental movement skills and/or physical activity within a physical education lesson. They found that training which is one day or more in length, delivered using multiple formats, and comprised of both subject and pedagogical content was associated with positive student outcomes. However, due to the prevalence of poor reporting across studies, the authors could not determine more specific training features that were causally related to desired outcomes. Hence, little is known on how to design training programmes to optimise intervention implementation (e.g. fidelity) and outcomes (e.g. activity behaviour).
To support the development of evidence-based teacher professional development, effective features of training programmes must be identified. This requires training features to be adequately described. ‘Behaviour change techniques’ (BCTs) offer a means of breaking down variable training programmes into observable, replicable, and irreducible features . Specifying training programmes in terms of BCTs alongside features such as duration enables nuanced but rigorous evidence synthesis, and comparison with the wider professional development literature (e.g. [14,15,16]).
Many school-based intervention studies have been published since Lander and colleagues conducted the search for their review in 2015 . The quality of reporting and underlying evidence may have improved since this time, given the greater availability of reporting guidelines (e.g. ) and use of device-based activity monitors (e.g. ). We therefore aimed to build on their review, and, in line with Cochrane guidance reconsidered all elements of the review questions and scope. We aimed to determine, more specifically, which teacher-targeted BCTs have been used within school-based activity behaviour interventions that included staff training, and how their use and other training features are associated with intervention fidelity and students’ device-measured outcomes. Operational definitions are outlined in Table 1.
Review questions (RQs)
What BCTs have been used in staff training programmes to change student activity behaviour?
Is there an association between staff training features, including BCTs, and intervention fidelity?
Is there an association between staff training features, including BCTs, and changes in students’ device-measured activity behaviours?
This review is reported in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses . The review protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020180624).
The search strategy and terms were based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria (Table 2), and developed in collaboration with an experienced librarian. The sensitivity and specificity of combinations of free-text terms and database subject headings were tested using MEDLINE (via Ovid). Search terms and operators were subsequently translated and iteratively tested on additional databases identified as relevant (Education Resources Information Center, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, Embase (via Ovid), Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus). Searches were run on 15 May 2020 and limited to articles published since 1 January 2015 to avoid inclusion of studies assessed in the Lander review and to focus resources on the highest quality data available to address the review’s aims. No language or geographic limitations were applied. Additional file 1 outlines search terms used and numbers of records identified.
Search results were imported into EndNote X7 for deduplication (Clarivate, Philadelphia, PA). Remaining records were imported into Covidence (Veritas Health Innovation, Melbourne, Australia) for screening. Title and abstract screening was conducted by one reviewer. A random sample (10%) of excluded records were checked to minimise screening errors (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.48). All full texts were independently screened for eligibility by two reviewers (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.60). If eligibility could not be determined based on an article, we searched for other publications reporting on that same study to obtain further information. Eligibility disagreements were resolved by discussion. After the original criteria were applied, the number of eligible articles (n = 166) was deemed too large for the review team’s resources. A second round of full-text screening was conducted with updated inclusion/exclusion criteria; studies had to report on randomised controlled trials, and pilot, feasibility, and small-scale trials (≤100 students at baseline) were excluded (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.98) (Table 2). Following screening, we conducted forward and backward citation tracking using Google Scholar, and searched through articles and their supplementary materials for peer-reviewed publications and other outputs relevant to studies eligible for inclusion.
All data extraction was performed by one reviewer using a pre-piloted form. Articles not published in English (n = 2) were translated using DeepL Translator (available at www.deepl.com/translator). Details on staff training were extracted based on items in the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist , a reporting guideline outlining the minimum set of items considered essential for intervention description and replication (e.g. use of theory, duration, mode of delivery). Where multiple training programmes were delivered within a study (e.g. in the form of content, dose, material etc. beyond local adaptation or personalisation), and outcome data were reported for each arm, data was sought and extracted for each arm. Information reported across study publications and outputs was pooled for data extraction. Where discrepancies were identified between study publications/outputs and data were mutually exclusive (e.g. training duration), data reported in the most recent outcome paper were selected. Where data differed but were mutually inclusive (e.g. BCTs), data were treated as cumulative and extracted as such.
Most studies (50/51; 98.0%) failed to report all TIDieR items about the staff training. Lead authors of included articles were contacted. They were requested to check and complete a partially filled TIDieR-based form, and to add any relevant study publications not listed. Authors were given three weeks to respond with a reminder email. Most authors responded (41/50; 82.0%) and 85.1% (39/41) provided additional information.
Data coding, outcome classification and selection
All training content extracted from peer-reviewed publications was compiled for coding, including any information about interventions delivered to staff in control groups. Other study outputs (e.g. websites) were not coded as access was variable between studies. Content was independently coded in duplicate by two reviewers for the presence and absence of BCTs using the BCT Taxonomy Version 1 (BCTTv1) . Coders completed certified training in advance (available at www.bct-taxonomy.com). Only content that aimed to change staff behaviour within school hours and that specifically related to student activity behaviour was coded. Disagreements were resolved through discussion and by referring back to the BCTTv1 guidance (Cohen’s kappa = 0.70).
Assessing and classifying fidelity outcome(s)
To account for differences in fidelity measurement and reporting across studies, we established a structured process (see Additional file 2) to assess, calculate, and classify fidelity outcomes as high (80–100%), medium (50–79%), or low (0–49%) fidelity . All fidelity data was classified by one reviewer. A second reviewer checked all fidelity classifications (low, moderate, high); conflicts were resolved by discussion.
Selecting activity behaviour outcomes
A single reviewer extracted one physical activity and one sedentary behaviour outcome per study. Where more than one of either outcome was reported, we applied a hierarchy (see Additional file 3) to focus on outcomes closest to the review’s exposure of interest. Activity behaviours measured during periods in which teachers were present for the greatest proportion of that time were prioritised as follows: i) teacher period, ii) school hours, iii) weekdays, and iv) whole of week. Where multiple physical activity outcomes within one of these periods were reported, outcomes were prioritised as follows: i) time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, ii) total physical activity, iii) vigorous physical activity, iv) moderate physical activity, and v) light physical activity, based on evidence of their respective associations with health outcomes [26, 27]. Where multiple sedentary behaviour outcomes within one of these periods were reported, we prioritised time spent in any sedentary behaviour above other outcomes (e.g. number of breaks in sedentary time). Where multiple follow-up measures were reported, outcomes measured closest to the end of the student-targeted intervention were extracted.
Quality assessment ratings of fidelity and activity behaviour outcomes were conducted independently by two reviewers using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) tool and dictionary [28, 29]. The EPHPP tool rates six individual domains; selection bias, study design, confounder bias, blinding, data collection methods, and withdrawals and drop out. Domain-specific ratings were used to calculate the global rating (‘strong’, ‘moderate’ or ‘weak’) according to the EPHPP dictionary. We piloted the EPHPP using a subsample of studies (n = 11 studies) to ensure consistency in interpretation of signalling questions between reviewers before starting the full set. Conflicts regarding global ratings were resolved through discussion (inter-rater agreement = 76.2 and 80.6% for fidelity and activity behaviour outcomes, respectively).
All statistical analyses were conducted using Stata (version 16.1). To assess the relative effectiveness of BCTs on fidelity, promise ratios were calculated as the frequency of a BCT appearing in a promising intervention (defined as high/moderate fidelity) divided by its frequency of appearance in a non-promising intervention (low fidelity) . BCTs had to be identified in at least two interventions reporting eligible fidelity data to be assessed. Where BCTs were only identified in promising interventions, the promise ratio was calculated as the frequency of a BCT appearing in a promising intervention divided by one . BCTs were considered promising if their calculated promise ratio was ≥2. Chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests were performed to assess differences in other training features (total training time, use of theory, session number, training period, number of BCTs) between moderate/high and low fidelity studies. The level of statistical significance and confidence were set at 5 and 95%, respectively. Results are reported in accordance with the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis guidelines .
Intervention effects on physical activity and sedentary behaviour outcomes were analysed separately. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) were used to estimate effect sizes, and calculated based on the number, mean, and standard deviations (SDs) of treatment and control groups at baseline and follow-up. Additional file 4 outlines all formulae used to calculate SMDs and their standard errors (SEs) to perform random-effects meta-analyses. Where means and SDs were reported at a subgroup level (e.g. by sex), formulae outlined in the Cochrane handbook were used to estimate outcomes at the unit of interest. Missing SDs were calculated using SEs, 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and t-distributions using formulae . Where both SDs and means were missing, these were calculated using medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs) using Wan’s formulae [33, 34]. Studies that did not report on the mean and SD values of the same sample size at baseline and follow-up were excluded from analyses. Cohen thresholds were used to interpret SMDs as trivial (< 0.2), small (≥0.2 to < 0.5), moderate (≥0.5 to < 0.8), and large (≥0.8) . Random-effects meta-regressions were performed to explore variations in effect estimates for outcomes as a function of BCTs, total number of BCTs, total training time, number of training sessions, and training period. In line with previous reviews , only BCTs unique to treatment groups and those identified in at least four interventions were included in analyses. Statistical heterogeneity was assessed using forest plots, the tau-squared (τ2) value and its 95% prediction interval . Publication bias was assessed by visual inspection of funnel plots and Egger’s test.
Overview of studies included
Studies originated from 19 countries, although 51% were from three countries (Australia: 19.6% [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54], the United States: 15.7% [55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63] and the United Kingdom: 15.7% [64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75]). Most were conducted in primary school settings (n = 32, 62.8%). At baseline, the median number of schools and students per study was 14 (IQR: 9–24) and 779 (IQR: 361–1397), respectively. Fifty-three eligible training programmes were identified across 51 studies. Based on the percentage of studies with data reported, most programmes were delivered face-to-face (88.2%), in a group setting (60.5%), by research team members (65.3%) and underpinned by some theory or rationale (74.4%). The median training time was 7 hours (IQR: 2–14 hours). The median session count was 2 (IQR: 1–3). Full study details, including any theory or rationale used to inform training, are outlined in Additional file 6.
Use of BCTs in training programmes (RQ1)
Thirty-seven out of 93 possible unique BCTs were identified across 53 training programmes (see Table 3). The mean number of BCTs identified per treatment group was 5.1 (SD = 3.2; range = 1–15). Two BCTs were identified in at least 50% of treatment groups; ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’ (98.1%) and ‘Social support (unspecified)’ (50.9%). We also identified BCTs in two control staff training programmes [61, 76]; ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’ was coded in each of these.
Association with intervention fidelity (RQ2)
Thirty-five studies reported eligible fidelity data. Most (32/35; 91.4%) achieved a ‘weak’ overall quality assessment rating. Ten interventions (28.6%) were delivered with high fidelity, 18 with medium fidelity (51%) and seven with low fidelity (20%) (see Additional file 7 for domain ratings and fidelity classifications). Nineteen BCTs were associated with promising fidelity outcomes. The BCTs that held the highest promise ratio were ‘Adding objects to the environment’, ‘Feedback on behaviour’, ‘Demonstration of the behaviour’, ‘Behavioural practice/rehearsal’, and ‘Goal setting (behaviour)’. Eleven BCTs were unique to promising interventions (see Table 4).
Moderate/high fidelity studies were significantly more likely to include theory-informed and shorter training programmes than low fidelity studies (see Table 5). All other differences between training features and fidelity outcomes were non-significant.
Impact on student activity behaviour (RQ3)
Fifteen studies reported eligible physical activity data for inclusion in meta-analysis and 11 reported eligible sedentary behaviour data. Six studies (6/16 studies; 37.5%) achieved a ‘weak’ overall quality assessment rating, eight studies (50.0%) achieved a ‘moderate’ rating and two studies (12.5%) achieved a ‘strong’ rating (see Additional file 8 for domain ratings).
The median follow-up period for physical activity outcomes was 3 months (IQR: 6 weeks-8 months). The pooled effect size estimate was 0.44 (95% CI: 0.18, 0.71), indicating a significant positive intervention effect on students’ physical activity at follow-up (see Additional file 9). Heterogeneity was wide between studies (τ2 = 0.25; 95% prediction interval: −0.67, 1.56). Egger’s test indicated evidence of publication bias (p < 0.01) (see Additional file 9). Heterogeneity was largely driven by two studies [77, 78] that reported big effects and large adjusted SEs. When they were excluded from analyses, the pooled effect size estimate remained significant, 0.17 (95% CI: 0.02, 0.32), and Egger’s test did not indicate publication bias (p > 0.05) (see Additional file 9).
Meta-regressions were performed between BCTs eligible for analysis (n = 9), total number of BCTs, total training time, number of training sessions, and training period, and changes in physical activity outcomes from baseline to follow-up (Table 6). We found significant associations for the BCTs ‘Action planning’ and ‘Feedback on behaviour’, and total number of BCTs used (see Table 6). No other significant associations were identified.
The median follow-up period for sedentary behaviour outcomes was 4 months (IQR: 6 weeks-10 months). The pooled effect size estimate was 0.06 (95% CI: − 0.40, 0.53), indicating no effect on students’ sedentary behaviour at follow-up (see Additional file 10). Heterogeneity was wide between studies (τ2 = 0.59; 95% prediction interval: − 0.20, 0.36). Inspection of funnel plot and Egger’s test did not indicate publication bias (p > 0.05; see Additional file 10). Meta-regressions between training features and changes in sedentary behaviour outcomes from baseline to follow-up showed no significant associations (see Table 7).
This is the first systematic review to identify BCTs used in staff training programmes delivered within school-based intervention studies aimed at changing student activity behaviour. We identified 53 eligible training programmes and found evidence that 37 unique BCTs have been used to change teacher behaviour. We found evidence that 19 BCTs are positively associated with promising fidelity outcomes, and that moderate/high fidelity studies are more likely to include theory-based and shorter training programmes (≤ 6 months) than low fidelity studies. We also found training programmes that use more BCTs and those that use ‘Action planning’ and ‘Feedback on the behaviour’ are associated with significant changes to students’ device-measured physical activity. We found no associations between training features and sedentary behaviour outcomes.
The mean number of BCTs identified per training programme suggests that few teacher-targeted BCTs have been used within school-based teacher-led activity behaviour interventions. The only frequently identified BCTs were ‘Instruction on how to perform the behaviour’ and ‘Social support (unspecified)’. The literature suggests that the use of these BCTs alone is unlikely to achieve or sustain professional change . Certain well-evidenced BCTs were absent across studies. For example, a large body of research has highlighted the importance of providing teachers with tools to notice change in their students to promote professional change (e.g. ). Yet we identified ‘Feedback on outcome of the behaviour’ in just one training programme .
Many study authors reported that the training was underpinned by some rationale or theory, but the theory underpinning the intervention aimed at the student was often conflated with the theory underpinning the staff training (e.g. [38, 80]). In such instances, it was often unclear how the theory was used to inform the training. Few authors drew on relevant teacher professional development literature or theory to inform the design of programmes; this may help to explain the limited number of evidence-based BCTs identified across training programmes. Further, many authors provided no information (e.g. [59, 62]) or confirmed that the training was not informed by any theory or rationale (e.g. [63, 64, 81, 82]).
We found evidence to support an association between 19 BCTs and teacher fidelity. The most promising BCTs we identified were ‘Feedback on behaviour’, ‘Demonstration of the behaviour’, ‘Behavioural practice/rehearsal’, and ‘Goal setting (behaviour)’. Their use in future training programmes is supported by reviews examining causal components of effective teacher professional development for other school subjects (e.g. [14, 15, 83]). ‘Adding objects to the environment’ is less frequently cited within the literature. The objects provided (e.g. maths bingo tiles, sports equipment, signage, standing desks [53, 59, 84,85,86]) may have prompted teachers to implement the intervention on an ongoing basis. Further research is needed to determine how teaching resources and their placement within school settings may promote implementation. Consistent with findings from recent reviews (e.g. [15, 16, 87]), we found that training quality (i.e. theory-based training and use of evidence-based BCTs) rather than a longer training duration was associated with intervention fidelity.
We also found evidence to support the use of more BCTs and the use of ‘Action Planning’ and ‘Feedback on behaviour’ in staff training to increase students’ physical activity. Conversely, we found no evidence to support an association between training features and sedentary behaviour outcomes. These findings may be explained by the small number of studies that observed significant intervention effects, that measured sedentary behaviour during teacher periods and that specifically targeted students’ sedentary behaviour. Interventions must not just be effective but also feasible for teachers to implement and sustain within their workload. Recent research has found that participants often receive more implementation support in pilot interventions than those participating in larger-scale trials of the same or similar interventions . Hence, it is also possible that the interventions were not feasible for teachers to deliver. Finally, quality teaching indicators (e.g. ) have yet to be identified within the context of student physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The techniques teachers were requested to implement, even when delivered with fidelity, may have been ineffective in changing student’s activity behaviour.
Strengths and limitations of the review
We employed a comprehensive search to identify and extract data about staff training by using a standardised reporting checklist, searching across study publications and outputs, and contacting authors to overcome limitations of existing reviews that observed poor reporting practices . We achieved a high response rate from study authors and few changes were made to our partially completed forms, suggesting that data about the teacher training programmes was reliably extracted. We overcame limitations associated with recent teacher professional development reviews for other subjects (e.g. [14, 15, 90]), by exploring training effects on both professional practice and student outcomes , and by examining data from largely pre-registered [14, 90] and medium-to-large-scale studies .
Eligible studies and outputs may have been missed. To reduce the likelihood of missing outputs, all authors were contacted and requested to add study publications not listed. Due to resource limitations, all data extraction was conducted by a single reviewer, which may have resulted in extraction errors. Further, while a structured process was used to classify fidelity data into outcomes, this was conducted by a single reviewer and solely checked by a second. Studies conducted in low and middle-income countries and not published in English are likely disproportionately excluded due to eligibility criteria and databases used. Researchers and practitioners should be cautious about applying the findings to settings and populations underrepresented in this review. Where authors reported fidelity outcomes at multiple time points (e.g. [45, 54, 56, 77]), we selected outcomes measured closest to the training start time. BCTs identified may hence promote short-term fidelity, and should be used alongside evidence-based BCTs that promote sustained professional change (e.g. ‘Habit formation’ ). Finally, effective training features that are beyond the scope of the BCTTv1 and TIDieR checklist may exist but were not explored in the current review.
Limitations of the underlying evidence
Most of the limitations associated with our findings relate to the quality of the evidence we reviewed. Consistent with previous reviews [12, 91, 92], we observed poor reporting on staff training across studies. Consequently, it is difficult to discern whether the BCTs identified reflect what was delivered in practice. In line with previous reviews , fidelity measures used across studies were methodologically weak. Many studies did not report on fidelity to all intervention components or at the individual level. The BCTs identified may therefore overestimate the extent to which their use can promote overall fidelity, and warrant testing across intervention components, teacher populations and school climates. We sought to include all quantitative fidelity data in our analyses to make the best use of available data , but had to exclude 30% of studies as outcomes were reported in isolation of any identifiable target with which we could interpret the data (e.g. [78, 95]). This reduced the number of studies on which we could base our findings.
In line with existing guidance , we recommend that researchers engage with discipline-specific experts and literature when designing and evaluating all intervention components. In order for the field to progress, complete and consistent reporting is needed to determine what interventions have been delivered to the various actors within activity behaviour intervention studies. Consistent and effective implementation of reporting guidelines are important for this, but at the time of paper submission, we found that out of 33 journals that published articles included here just one explicitly requested submission of reporting checklists for all intervention components. We have therefore written to journal editors to update their submission policies to require study authors to submit relevant reporting checklists (e.g. [17, 96]) that describe each of the interventions being implemented and/or assessed . We also advise that study authors use machine-readable tools (e.g. ) from the protocol stage to avoid inconsistent reporting within and across study outputs. Finally, valid, reliable and acceptable fidelity measures are needed to determine how school-based interventions are being implemented in practice. Progress is needed to understand the level of support teachers require for effective implementation, components teachers are most likely to deliver, and practices causally related to student activity behaviour change.
This review advances our understanding of how school-based interventions have been implemented, and identifies specific, replicable techniques that can be incorporated into future programmes to promote intervention fidelity and increase student physical activity. Our findings suggest training programmes should be informed by relevant theory and literature and include a combination of BCTs that provide teachers with i) a demonstration of the desired behaviour, ii) an opportunity to practice the behaviour, iii) feedback on their performance of the behaviour, iv) a behavioural goal (self-defined or otherwise) and v) objects that facilitate and cue performance of the behaviour. Our findings also suggest teachers should be prompted to make a detailed action plan regarding their performance of the behaviour. We encourage researchers to incorporate BCTs that have been shown to promote sustained professional change for other school subjects, so that their effectiveness can be assessed within the context of physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Changes to reporting practices in the field will enable researchers in time to determine BCT combinations and features (e.g. frequency, sequence) that best predict desired outcomes for defined teacher and student populations.

Today, Mozilla released Firefox 94 for iOS, with the updated version introducing a new homepage design loaded with quality of life improvements such as the ability to jump back to the last opened tab and searches grouped by topic. On macOS, theming and security have improved.
Starting off with the iOS-specific feature improvements, Firefox claims it brings new features designed for “short bursts of online interactions that are constantly interrupted by life.” The update brings a handy feature using which you can jump back to the tab you were using when you closed the app. This helps pick up right from the last active tab when you reopen the browser. Additionally, bookmarks are now easier to find and get to on Firefox 94.
Previously, Firefox’s homepage only linked commonly-visited websites (just like Google Chrome) and had a space for Collections where one could save tabs for organizing later. On the reorganized homepage in Firefox 94, a section has been added for recent tabs and recent bookmarks alongside the commonly visited website section. In case you want to hide some or all of the sections, there is an option for each section in the Firefox app settings. Announcing the new feature, Mozilla said “we wanted to lift that heavy mental burden of remembering to finish those halfway-read articles or vacation research until you’re ready to jump back and finish those tasks.”
Additionally, Firefox 94 for iOS will soon get the feature where tabs that haven’t been used for 14 days will be moved to an inactive section so they don’t clutter the tabs you’re actually using. On Android, the feature is already available and users can choose to automatically close tabs after day, week, or month. This feature can be turned off as well.
Now, coming to the changes Firefox 94 brings for macOS, 18 new themes have been added. Of these, six themes are new limited-time seasonal additions. The updated version also allows Firefox to use Apple’s low-power mode for fullscreen video playback on YouTube and Twitch so you can consume content for longer. For power users, Firefox 94 offers a new page called about:unloads so tabs can be manually unloaded from system resources without closing them.
Besides this, Firefox 94 for macOS also sports a new Site Isolation feature so users are protected against side-channel attacks such as Spectre, thereby improving security.
Do let us know other features you would like to see on upcoming versions of Firefox.

O‘ahu is known as “the Gathering Place” as it is the most central and most inhabited of the Hawaiian Islands. For centuries it has been the seat of political and economic power in Hawai‘i, and the periodic influx of different ethnic groups – often brought to the islands as labor for various industries over the years – has led to a fascinating and interwoven tapestry of history and cultures. For the history buff visiting this tropical paradise, you will definitely want to tear yourself away from the beautiful beaches and enchanting mountains to visit these five incredible O‘ahu historical sites.
The site of the worst surprise attack in military history, the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor was where World War II began for the United States. On December 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan successfully surprised the American military forces at Pearl Harbor, Ford Island, and other auxiliary bases around the island with waves of bombers and torpedo planes that crippled, but failed to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Tour a WWII submarine, explore the USS Missouri (site of Japan’s surrender to end WWII), and visit the Arizona Memorial – the iconic white inverted arch that straddles the hull of the sunk – and never raised – battleship USS Arizona. Admission to this O’ahu historical site is free, so be sure to tour the incredible WWII Museum at Pearl Harbor where you can see artifacts and recreations of that infamous day.
The only royal residence in the United States, the ‘Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu was the seat of Hawaiian monarchy until the end of the 19th century. Charming, elegant, and beautiful, this stately home is situated on a beautiful parade ground and is a National Historic Landmark. Interestingly enough, it was one of the first buildings to have electric lights, predating even the White House in Washington, D.C.
Nuuanu Pali Lookout
At the top of the Pali Highway, just before it crosses through the tunnels to descend to the Windward Coast, is an incredible scenic lookout. Many visitors come here for the sweeping panoramic views of gorgeous Kāne‘ohe Bay, but this is also the site of the pivotal moment in King Kamehameha’s conquest to unite the Hawaiian Islands. After landing his war canoes near modern day Waikīkī, Kamehameha’s troops pushed the native Oahuans up the Nuuanu valley, forcing them to make their last stand here, high atop the Ko`olau Mountains. They ultimately lost, and hundreds were forced to their deaths over the edge of the steep, 1,000-foot-high cliffs.
Puu o Mahuka Heiau
Located on the Pupukea cliffs above Waimea Bay on O‘ahu’s North Shore, the remains of this ancient Hawaiian stone temple span nearly two acres and are more than 400 years old. Bounded by rock walls on three sides, the temple was the center of religion, politics, and society for the ancient Hawaiians. Waimea Valley below, home to a beautiful botanical garden, is also the site of 78 significant archaeological sites including temples, shrines, fishponds, and a village. This is one of the top O‘ahu attractions for sightseeing!
Kukaniloko Birthstone State Monument
Located in the geographical center of O‘ahu on a 5-acre plain near Wahiawa, these 180 lava stones are arranged as a monument to the gods and the royal families. Used as the site of royal births, the stones – estimated to have been assembled more than 900 years ago – are said to have the power to ease the pain of childbirth and are still sought out by pregnant women to this day.
See All of the Best O ‘ahu Attractions on Your Trip
There are plenty of exciting O ‘ahu attractions to visit during your stay on the island. To find out about even more great spots to visit, contact ILoveHawaii today and book your stay in one of our incredible vacation homes on O‘ahu!

Planning an incentive trip for the winter is a savvy move. Winter is when motivation can rapidly slide, as people focus on the Holidays. The dark, cold, short days don’t help, either. A winter incentive trip is just the ticket to get your people moving toward a goal. The planning process should kick in no later than 3 months out, as you ramp up the excitement and competition for the incentive. Let’s look at 4 incentive trip journeys for winter 2018/2019, to give you an idea of the world of possibilities out there.
This laidback destination on the Malabar Coast on the Southwestern tip of the sub-continent is cooler in the winter, with a natural beauty that bursts forth during this season. Explore mangrove forests, or float down the Alleppey backwaters in a houseboat. Replete with colorful winter festivals, Kerala offers something for all your deserving top performers. Your environmentalist team members will revel in a visit to the Western Ghats, home to the huge Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. What better place than Kerala for such an attraction, as 25% of the 15,000 species of plants found in India are native to this province.
Long before George Clooney started hanging out there, Lake Como was known as a place of extraordinary beauty in a nation overflowing with such marvels. Situated at the foots of the Alps in the Lombardy region, Lake Como is stunning year-round, but there’s a special magic in the air during the winter months. And when you’re not admiring the natural beauty, choose from numerous ski resorts with slopes for skiers of all skill levels. With fewer tourists around during the winter months, exploring Lake Como is a relaxing exercise in seeing how the other half lives.
Famed for its stunning, whimsical architecture, Prague is a destination that will render your travelers speechless. This is the time of year that Czechs turn to boldly-flavored comfort foods and your people won’t have to elbow their way through crowds of tourists to get at them at this time of year. With winter, your staff also has the opportunity to experience Prague’s outdoor skating rinks, which pop up all over town in celebration of the winter season.
Is there any winter destination more inspiring that the Big Apple? Its sidewalks alive with the city’s people, winter is a beautiful time to visit this most iconic American city. Marvel at famed monuments like the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building. Dine on fare created by world class chefs or take in a Broadway show. There is so much to see and do in New York, your top performers will be hard pressed to narrow down their choices. From the far flung to the close at hand, these are 4 incentive trip journeys for winter 2018/2019 to get your creativity flowing. With a world so full of amazing destinations, one’s bound to be your perfect fit. Start planning! Contact ITG.

You all must have heard of the importance of keeping your gut healthy. A healthy gut can keep your digestion smooth and avoid nasty diseases.
Our gut houses a large microbiome filled with bacteria that aid in properly digesting the food we eat.
Some foods and habits help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, while others can destroy our gut health.
Table of Contents
Today we’ll discuss habits and practices that can help naturally improve your gut health. Stopping these five habits can improve gut health naturally.
Healthy Ways To Improve Gut Health Naturally
Smoking is terrible for your gut health. Some habits and confident lifestyle choices can be detrimental to our overall digestive health, and specific practices create a lot of bacteria in our gut, such as smoking.
Smoking is a killer habit that can cause several disorders ranging from heart attacks to strokes to lung disease and cancer. Smoking is especially bad for our gut microbiome as it destroys gut flora.
Smoking causes several gut disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, a condition where the intestines are inflamed, hindering digestion. The best way to improve gut flora and restore your gut health is to quit smoking immediately.
2. Watch your alcohol intake
Alcohol consumption, especially excessive consumption, can be harmful to your gut. Alcohol is an intoxicant, which, when consumed excessively, can lead to a person losing their sense of time and place, sometimes even passing out.
Consumption of alcohol in excess is harmful to our bodies, and it affects our liver and gut health by causing inflammation. Alcohol abuse causes diseases such as stroke, heart attacks, and even dementia over a long period.
However, alcohol in moderation and the consumption of certain types of alcohol, such as red wine, can surprisingly promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and prevent the development of harmful gut bacteria such as clostridium. The benefits of red wine on gut health are from the presence of polyphenols in it.
Polyphenols benefit gut health as they do not break down during digestion but are broken down by gut bacteria, making them valuable for their proliferation. Alcohol stands in the grey area as excess is bad for the gut and overall health, but some types of alcohol in moderation can benefit our gut health.
3. Diversity In Your Diet
Not having diversity in your diet is terrible for your gut. A balanced and diverse diet is necessary to promote our gut health. Not having a wide range of foods and limiting one’s diet to only processed and sugar-rich foods can significantly damage your gut flora and cause obesity.
Dietary diversity is needed to maintain a proper gut microbiome. Typically, fibre-rich whole grains, legumes, leafy greens, and probiotic foods like yogurt go a long way in improving the gut health of its consumers. But the present diet of most people consists only of minimal plant and animal proteins.
A study reveals that a whopping 75% of the American diet comes from just a few sources of proteins and vegetables. This deprivation in the diet can lead to horrible consequences for the gut bacteria, and the only way to remedy this issue is by eating more wholesome foods and keeping away from processed foods as much as possible.
4. Antibiotic misuse
Antibiotic misuse prevents a healthy gut. Antibiotics are life-saving medications that have an important place in our civilization. They frequently treat several ailments, from sore throats to life-threatening illnesses. Antibiotics create antibodies that destroy the harmful and helpful microbiota in the body or inhibit their reproduction and spread across the body.
Regardless of how helpful an antibiotic is, even a single course of treatment can result in the gut microbiota being affected by it. Sometimes, antibiotic use can increase the number of harmful bacteria like clostridium and reduce the number of good bacteria like lactobacilli. Gut flora is consistently affected by antibiotics.
Even though the number of good bacteria bounces back within a few weeks after treatment, they do not reach back to normal levels within the gut. Sometimes the effects of antibiotic use can last up to two years, even if the service is only short-term. So after every antibiotic use, we must take the necessary steps to ensure our gut flora returns to normal. Also, it is best to avoid unnecessary antibiotic consumption for every condition and only take it when a doctor prescribes it.
5. Reduce Stress
Reduce Stress to improve gut health. Excess Stress is another major killer of gut microbiota. A stressed body can lead to decreased blood flow to the gut, killing most of the bacteria and invariably altering the gut microbiota for the worse. Studies on mice show how increased Stress can lead to a proportionate decrease in good gut bacteria and an increase in bad ones like clostridium.
Studies on humans have shown a substantial decrease in good bacteria like lactobacilli levels with excessive stress levels. So reducing Stress can contribute to an increase in good gut bacteria. Try stress-relieving exercises or yoga for the best results!
6. Fermented Foods
Fermented foods make your gut. Fermented solid foods are another excellent source of healthy gut bacteria. Fermented foods are mostly complex sugars that break down into simpler sugars by yeast or bacteria. Most fermented foods are rich in lactobacilli which are beneficial for overall gut health.
Studies show that fermented foods like yogurt increase the levels of lactobacilli in the system while reducing the level of microorganisms that cause inflammation. Yogurt also relieves symptoms of lactose intolerance in consumers. It’s best if consumers refrain from having flavoured yogurts as they usually contain very unhealthy levels of added sugar.
So it’s always best to stick to the plain, unsweetened variety of yogurt. Choosing enhanced fermented foods with bacterial cultures will help consumers make the most out of their fermented foods. Add these goodies to your diet. Some popular fermented foods are Yogurt Kefir and Kimchi Kombucha Tempeh.
Don’t hesitate to start eating foods suitable for you and try steering clear of habits that are not good for gut health, like drinking or smoking excessively. These methods can help us positively clean our gut.

The Bitter End (Book 1 - Keys to the World) by Scott Kelemen
Book 1: Keys to the World Mia d'Rein and her brother Kai lived simple, pastoral lives. In the span of one night, both terror and love swoop in and rip them away from their sleepy existence. Caught up in events a thousand years in the making, they will join the race for legendary artefacts that have the power to reshape humanity forever. Evil forces will try and seize those artefacts, forcing the siblings and their friends to embrace a dangerous reality; that they must rise beyond the tragedy and curiosity that tore them from their homes and become something more.

The goal of the study is the development and experimental verification of the applicability of a new data streams distribution algorithm between wireless local and global communication networks. The object of research is the data streams dynamic allocation algorithm between the wireless local and wide area networks such as Wi-Fi and LTE. The research subject is the dependent runtime data flow allocation algorithm between wireless local and wide area networks. The authors developed a dynamic multiplexing algorithm for heterogeneous communication channels that takes into account the dynamics of evaluating the communication channels capacity and channel combinations, investigated the running time of the channel selection algorithm, which showed that the unconditional priority strategy was more effective than the quota strategy. The implemented prototype system can be used in a multiprotocol routing subsystem.

Charlotte Megabus Accident
As with 15-passenger vans and other large vehicles, Megabus accidents can cause devastating injuries. In 2019, a Megabus crashed in Illinois, causing the deaths of two people. According to law enforcement, a driver was driving in the wrong direction and collided with another vehicle head-on, causing that vehicle to hit another car and an 18-wheeler. One of the cars that had been hit swerved and came to a stop in the middle of the highway and the Mega Bus collided with it. In addition to the fatalities of two of the drivers of the vehicles involved in the crash, the driver of the Megabus was seriously injured and five of the 54 bus passengers were also injured.Megabus Companies May Cut Corners to Save Money
As the cost of traveling by plane increases, many Americans choose alternate means of transportation. Over 350 million people travel across America using inexpensive common carriers, such as Megabus, from New York City to Los Angeles. Discount bus fares are peeling, but they could come with a cost.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently announced that it would consider conducting annual inspections for carriers who operate under the Megabus brand. Known for offering passengers extremely low fares, Mega Bus operators have been criticized for cutting corners to keep their costs down. It is possible that Megabus owners use poorly manufactured automobile parts, fail to perform regular maintenance of their buses, or fail to investigate their drivers adequately before hiring them. All of these types of negligence could result in a dangerous Megabus accident that causes injury or death.
Megabus vehicles are particularly at risk of an accident. The double-decker Megabus has critical systems that could fail and cause bus accidents, including tire blowouts. Megabus might require the bus driver to work extra hours to save money on fees, resulting in an overly tired driver who is more likely to swerve into another lane and cause an accident.Injuries Commonly Caused by Megabus Accidents
The types of injuries and their severity depend on the circumstances of the Megabus accident. Megabus riders do not wear seat belts in most cases and are often thrown from their seats when an accident occurs. They can break a bone or suffer lacerations when they are thrown from their seats. In other cases, the windows of the Megabus shatter, and the debris causes injuries. Typical injuries caused by Megabus accents include the following:
- Broken or shattered bones because of the sudden impact of the victim's body with objects or from being thrown out of the passenger seat
- Lacerations caused by metal, glass, debris, or from contacting the ground
- Traumatic brain injuries caused by a blow to the spine or head, which can be as minor as a concussion or lead to more severe issues, such as loss of mobility, loss of speech, pain, and difficulty concentrating
- Catastrophic injuries or infections that lead to limb amputations
- Partial or complete paralysis due to a spinal cord injury. In most cases, victims will be paralyzed from the point of the spinal injury downward. Victims and their families face millions of dollars in medical expenses for treatment over a person's lifetime
Megabus passengers have rights, just like any other passengers on the road. Under North Carolina law, victims of another person's negligence have a right to bring a lawsuit against him or her for damages. The first step in recovering damages is to determine who was at fault for the Megabus accident.
Did the mega bus driver’s negligence cause the accident? Or was the accident caused by the Megabus owner’s failure to maintain the Megabus correctly? In either case, you may be entitled to bring a lawsuit against the Megabus company. You will be able to seek compensation for the total cost of your past and future medical bills, your out-of-pocket expenses, your lost wages, and your pain and suffering.
Was the accident caused by a third-party driver who acted negligently or recklessly? In that case, you will have a right to pursue compensation through that driver’s insurance policy or by filing a personal injury lawsuit against that driver. In some cases, multiple parties are at fault for the accident.Consult With a Charlotte Bus Accident Lawyer Today

Sun Glare Car Accident
Sun glare can make it difficult for even the most experienced driver to drive safely. When the sunlight is refracted or reflected in such a way that it obstructs a driver’s view through the windshield, sun glare occurs. Sun glare can make it difficult or impossible for a driver to see anything on the road and operate a vehicle safely. Sun glares most frequently happen during sunset and sunrise, coinciding with morning and evening commutes, increasing the chances of motor vehicle accidents. Sun glare can make driving extremely dangerous and lead to serious injuries.
If you have experienced injuries in a car accident caused by sun glare, you may be entitled to compensation. While sun glare is responsible for many crashes in North Carolina each year, it is not a valid defense against personal liability. When a driver becomes blinded by sun glare and causes an accident, the driver may still be liable for damages to the accident victims and their property.
If you have suffered injuries resulting from a sun glare car accident, we can help. At Arnold & Smith, PLLC our attorneys use our extensive personal injury law experience to advocate on behalf of our clients effectively. Contact our law firm today to schedule your initial consultation.Common Causes of Sun Glare Car Accidents
When a driver's field of vision is compromised, the driver is in a precarious position. Many sun glare accidents happen at an intersection when a driver cannot see traffic signals or other motorists on the road. The following scenarios are examples of typical situations involving sun glare:
- The sun impairs the driver’s ability to see the taillights of the cars in front of him or her. When the vehicle in front comes to a stop or slows down, the driver may not be able to stop in time to avoid a rear-end collision.
- A driver makes a left-hand turn into oncoming traffic because a sun-glare prevents him or her from seeing the oncoming vehicles and causes an accident. The second vehicle may slam into a vehicle in oncoming traffic that he or she did not see due to the sun glare.
- A driver crossing through an intersection may strike pedestrians or bicyclists if a sun glare prevents them from seeing them. Drivers may also hit another car in an intersection due to a sun glare obstructing their field of vision.
Drivers who are generally safe can be at risk for causing collisions when sun glare obstructs their field of vision. The following preventative actions could help drivers prevent crashes caused by sun glares:
- Avoid driving with a dirty windshield. A dirty windshield can amplify the effects of sun glare. The dirt itself can also obstruct the driver's vision. Drivers who clean their windows frequently and check their windshield fluid will likely decrease their risk of causing a collision.
- Wear sunglasses that protect your eyes from UV rays and also help you combat the effects of sun glare. Wearing sunglasses cannot wholly prevent the effects of sun glare, however.
- Do not look directly into the sun or any reflective object. Doing so could create temporary darkened spots in the vision that can make it difficult to see.
- Snow can be extremely reflective and exacerbate the effect of the sun glare. Take extra precautions when snow is on the ground.
- Consider sun glare to be as dangerous as other hazardous road conditions such as heavy rain, fog, or drifting snow. If sun glare is making it difficult to see ahead, slow your speed down to give yourself more time to react should another motor vehicle or pedestrian move into your pathway.
If a driver could not see you due to sun glare and crash into your vehicle, you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. Drivers who are injured in car accidents may have a right to recover compensation for their injuries. If you have suffered an injury, do not be afraid to exercise your right to compensation under North Carolina personal injury law.
It is essential to seek the advice of a skilled personal injury attorney as soon as possible. At Arnold & Smith, PLLC our attorneys conduct thorough investigations into the accidents that caused our client's injuries.

The American Institute for Innovative Apprenticeship was established to expand and maintain high quality apprenticeship programs in the United States. The Institute was created by Dr. Robert Lerman, a leading scholar on apprenticeship in the U.S.
AIIA also has the support of an experienced and talented Advisory Board. Find out more about them on our Advisory Board Bios page.
AIIA believes that a large apprenticeship system can increase youth employment, improve the matching of skills and jobs, lower inequality, enhance skills and productivity, and diversify routes to rewarding careers.
Competency-Based Occupational Frameworks
In October 2015, AIIA helped convene an international team led by the Urban Institute to develop Competency-Based Occupational Frameworks (CBOFs) for the U.S. Department of Labor. The CBOFs will help employers and their partners develop competency-based apprenticeships and register them with the Department.
The team will also provide technical assistance to employers and others who want to use the new frameworks to develop registered apprenticeships. Ultimately, the group will build a resource that connects all apprenticeship stakeholders: employers, employees, educational institutions and labor market systems. More information about the CBOFs and the project can be found here.

Evaluation: Of the 71 original D-Types built, 18 went to factory teams. According to Bonhams this started out as one of those factory cars but with a different chassis number – XKD403 – and it was wrecked in 1956 while under privateer ownership. The rest of its early history is a bit convoluted and not entirely clear, but the actual car sitting in the Bonhams tent at Goodwood was assembled in the 1980s from assorted original and reproduction D-Type parts. It was built with historic racing in mind, and it has been an active historic racer ever since, receiving restorative work in more recent years to make it as authentic as possible.
Condition-wise the bodywork looks straight and true with a recent flashover respray. The wheels look smart in fresh grey paint, while the knock-ons look original and show their age proudly. The seat leather is stretched and worn and fitted with modern harnesses. The steering and pedal controls all aged superbly. It presents exactly like what it is, a well-used racer.
Bottom Line: It may have been the highest priced lot of the Goodwood Revival sale this year but, being something of a bitsa, this D-Type didn’t have the star power of a more significant example with cleaner, unbroken history. It sold quite a bit under its low estimate and it is the cheapest D-Type we’ve seen at auction in years. By far. In fact, this result is closer to what good D-Type replicas sell for than it is to what real ones do. A factory D-Type continuation car actually sold for more ($1.325M) at auction last October.
Unlike those cars, though, this one gets a pass from the FIA for historic competition. And all concerns about its legitimacy should at least be somewhat alleviated by its acceptance to (and participation in) events like the Mille Miglia and Goodwood Revival. The new owner will now get to mix it up with prominent Ferraris, Maseratis, Astons and other Jags at such events, and for that alone the car seems like a great value at this price.

Prewar Mercedes-Benzes, particularly those with unique coachwork and bespoke build attributes, have long had a strong following at concours across the world and Pebble in particular. The Mercedes-Benz 540K represents the pinnacle of that era, and aside from certain one-offs, the 540K Special Roadster sits atop the model line as the most valuable. Out of the 419 540K chassis built, it’s believed that only 25 were Special Roadsters. This one-off 540 K Sindelfingen Spezial Roadster offered by Broad Arrow Group* at its Monterey Jet Center auction presents a number of unique elements that further set it apart.
One of the fastest road cars of its day, the 540K sported a Roots-supercharged 5.4-liter straight 8-cylinder engine delivering 180 horsepower and fully independent suspension. Despite carrying its nearly three-ton weight across an enormous but slippery 17-foot long body, the two-seat Special Roadsters were lauded as excellent grand tourers. This example is one of only a few featuring a five speed manual transmission, a rare option even in cars 30 years younger.
Chassis number 408383 was completed for Rolf Horn in August of 1939. Mr. Horn operated one of Berlin’s most exclusive art and interior décor boutiques and is said to have had a major influence in the conception and design of the car. Prominent features not incorporated into other Special Roadsters include cut-down doors, deleted running boards, a more steeply raked windshield, and two rows of louvers on the hood side panels. The most noticeable difference are the fenders, which are French-influenced and almost teardrop-shaped in design. Mr. Horn used the vehicle very little before the onset of World War II, when he took the car off the road.
The car, stored on blocks, was discovered in surprisingly excellent shape in 1946 in the Soviet-occupied portion of Berlin and was used by Soviet diplomats until 1953. It then changed hands to Russian collector Arthur Leshtin, who in the early 60s sold the car to Alf Johansson, a Swede living in Moscow. Never thinking he’d be able to get the car out of the Soviet Union, Johansson nonetheless drove it to the Swedish-Russian border, told the Soviet border guards he was headed home for a vacation, and they let the car through.
Following those notable adventures, it spent years within a few great automotive collections. It has since been inspected by a team from the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Germany and, while the stamped motor number on the block was subsequently noted to be from a later date, the major components are all said to be original to one another. This noteworthy example of the 540K took 2nd in class at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and followed that up with class wins at Amelia Island and Pinehurst, a Best of Show at Sports Sunday at Mar-a-Lago, a People’s Choice award at Hilton Head, and a Judge’s Choice at Lake Mirror, among other accolades.
Broad Arrow estimates this 540K to sell between $7,000,000-$8,000,000. Among last of its kind constructed, this owner-commissioned and uniquely designed and optioned 540K Sindelfingen Special Roadster represents a significant example with a compelling history. We look forward to seeing where the hammer falls.
*Hagerty has entered into a joint venture with Broad Arrow Group. You can read more about it here.

We hear all the time about how important it is to have diverse and inclusive working environments, which has given way to more and more organizations putting into practice Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) that “evens the playing field” for everyone. The World Economic Forum cautions against organizations allowing the current crisis to put diversity in the backseat; rather, they state that it is now more important than ever to pay attention to employees’ diverse needs and challenges. However, what exactly is D&I, and how do you build an organization that is both diverse and inclusive?
Diversity and Inclusion
“Diversity is being invited to the dance. Inclusion is being asked to dance!”
~Verna Myers, Diversity and Inclusion Expert~
Diversity is a mixture of individuals in society, while inclusion allows that mixture of individuals to exist and work well together. Diversity recognizes that everyone is different; some differences we are born with and cannot be changed while other differences are adapted as part of our unique identity. Inclusion recognizes that our differences are necessary and valuable; it is the intentional practice or policy that provides for equal access to opportunities and resources to those who might otherwise be marginalized.
In many organizations, a diversity and inclusion policy exist, however, little is done to create the understanding that more needs to be employed in order to develop a truly diverse work culture where inclusion becomes the fabric of the organization. In other words, D&I is not simply about checking off the boxes in order to meet EEOC quotas or legal requirements to say that an organization includes people from diverse backgrounds. It is about recognizing and taking to heart that diversity and inclusion are necessary in order to grow as an organization. It’s about being intentional in the effort to attract, hire, and retain the best people from different backgrounds and cultural experiences. Innovation occurs where D&I live because the people that organizations bring into it have varied gifts, talents, abilities, and thoughts that can be cultivated to achieve the greater good. It’s about creating space for people to been seen as value-added, grow in their careers, and be part of the journey to organizational growth, which leads to a sustainable organization and culture.
Before any organization embarks upon a D&I endeavor, it must first understand what biases may exist and confront them.
Discovering Biases and Where True D&I Impact Can Be Made
Bias is defined as prejudice in favor of or against a person or group compared with another that is usually considered unfair. To some degree, we all have biases. We tend to prejudge something or someone based on what we have heard, seen, or experienced. Our biases may show up in what we think about those who are different from us and the decisions that we make about them despite their ability. Bias can show up in how we speak to people and the words that we use to describe them. Here is a point to ponder, “if you were on the receiving end of what you just said, would you be happy with it?” The leaders in an organization can influence others to open their eyes and judge the content of one’s character (integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, and moral courage, etc.) as well as their abilities.
Here is an example of bias. I spoke with a woman once who described that in her D&I council at work a gentleman made a comparison between two employees from different backgrounds, one was male and the other female. What was in question was the male’s ability versus a woman’s ability to do the same job. Both were up for a promotion, having the same training [from different schools], skills and abilities yet the statement made was that “she’ll never use the training in her role; she’s just won’t be capable.” While the statement about the male was that “he’ll do well in the role and apply his skills right away, he’s a real go-getter.” Not only was the woman well-trained, but she also used the training she had received, applied it to her current role, and was considered a top performer. The woman pointed out to the council member that the statement demonstrated a bias against women because it is typically a male-dominated role.
The point here is that we must check our own biases in order to make sound decisions as to whether one can do the work for which they are hired. As human beings, we can influence others’ thought processes by checking our own biases and ask the hard and fast questions that ensure bias does not get in the way of sound analysis and decision-making.
D&I Best Practices
Organizational leaders are responsible for creating diverse and inclusive organizational cultures. This means fostering D&I through partnerships with D&I leaders and communication teams to drive organizational D&I strategies for attracting, recruiting, hiring, retaining, and promoting employees. It also means developing and participating in organizational diversity councils, ad hoc project teams, and employee affinity groups. For example, organizations like Citigroup have employed a robust process for D&I that includes D&I councils, affinity groups, and a full process in its performance and promotion practices that ensures not only diversity and inclusion but equality in the execution of its D&I practices.
Organizations must also be intentional about the language used to describe others – ensuring that communication is reflective of a diverse and inclusive mindset – words matter. Leaders must also use their ability to influence right thinking, speaking, and acting when it comes to D&I, challenging the status quo in order to disrupt it while ensuring that teams are comprised of diverse people who are included in meetings, decisions, training, and promotion opportunities. And finally, make sure that performance, learning, and development embed D&I as a cultural practice that is tied to the organization’s values, vision, mission, and culture.

When Doctor Aloysius Alzheimer first identified the disease ‘Alzheimer’s disease’ in 1901 he noticed several distinguishing features.
These now show that around 70% of all cases of dementia are, in fact, Alzheimer’s. On our current path, the incidence of the disease is going to increase by 350% over the next 35 years (by 2050).
Like many diseases, we see huge variations geographically and this can be attributed to diet and lifestyle.
However, there is a genetic element to this disease and the principal gene is APOEε4. When expressed it increases the risk significantly.
If one of your parents has it, your risk is increased by around 300%, both parents, 1500%.
The good news is that not all gene expression is equal; as an example the genes that determine if you will have blue eyes are determined, and you can not change these. Fortunately, the APOEε4 gene is like most chronic diseases and works more in the manner of a committee, so to say for the expression other factors influence the chance of promotion.
Amyloid precursor proteins for the brown spots on the image below and they are responsible for the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. They disrupt the brain synapses, which disrupt memory and other cognitive functions.
The solution is formed of multiple behaviours and has been demonstrated through many studies now and provides some really positive results.
The behaviours are to maintain a total cholesterol level of under 150 mg/dl, avoid saturated fats above around 3% of total calories (typically 10 grams per day), eat foods containing folate, B6, B12 and vitamin E as well as exercise and brain stimulation.
Exercise in the studies showed to help reverse brain shrinkage (ventricular atrophy) once over 40 minutes,3 times a week and brain stimulation was proven effective with tasks such as housework, gardening, participating in sports and community activities.
Interesting stuff, I think anyway.
All my love,

Slowing the Waves
Slowing the Waves
When I visit India, I strive to check in with at least one Jyotish. In the West, we would call them astrologers but there is most definitely a twist with them. I will attempt to give my layman’s interpretation of their purpose. To begin the reading they ask for your time, date and location of your birth. After sitting quietly, in front of their computers, pensively stroking their chins (see anecdotal!) they review your chart and depending on the Jyotishis’ specialty may predict or direct you on the best way to live in harmony with your dharma (true spiritual path). From there they then might tell you about your past, but most importantly, they try to provide direction for eluding the effect of Kethu and Reha. There is a very interesting story about these two influences that I would encourage you to read up that phenomenon. In brief, these two influences can wreak havoc, or block you from achieving your life’s purpose. Many ‘cures’ are offered up, whether it is having a puja (honouring of a deity), homa (same as puja but with fire), a mantra, or the wearing of a particular gemstone in a particular way. So many options!!
This visit I was told I should be wearing a pearl mala, and also wear moonstone and opal. I need to utilize the moons beautiful power to harness the waves of my mind. In short, I think too, too much. But who doesn’t? The most interesting aspect of this ‘cure’ is the fact that I have been called to these stones for the last 18 months in my designs. I love the balance and harmony that moonstone delivers to people navigating a world of ‘too much’. It brings a gentle stability. Yes, it can also be used as a fertility stone or for women facing menopausal challenges because it influences the sacral chakra, but it is so much more than that! Opal, is my birthstone, and I have always been drawn to it, but it is the pink opal that has been calling me to be woven into designs. It is a healing stone for the heart, recognizing that imperfections caused by events, mould our beautiful souls. We somehow think these ‘happenings’ leave us damaged and incomplete, instead of recognizing our resilience…beautiful pink opal’s energies helps to soothe the heart of these doubts.
Then there is the pearl. This has been a gemstone that has always called me. I remember watching TV and thinking how glamourous the women wearing peals looked….they had something extra. The pearls energies are borne from being a child of the water element. They are created from an invasion by a tiny foreign body: something that grates and irritates, requiring a defensive action of self-soothing and self-protection. Yep that sure does call home, doesn’t it? We are invited to gently float with the waves instead of trying to fight the current. We will arrive at our destination less tired and frustrated. Our tiny boat is resilient and won’t sink, ever…rest in that knowledge.
If any of these stones I have been encouraged to wear to soothe my savage beast of a mind call to you I have created some lovely malas for you to work with. As I am writing them, I note that they are all light in appearance… that is their effect! In many cases, I have combined the beautiful moonstone with sunstone, to introduce the sun and the moon element into the design ensuring that you will have everything you need in one beautiful piece! As always, if there are questions. I am happy to answer!
Love and Light- new

The latest figures on personal pensions from HM Revenue & Customs show a slump from 950,000 self-employed paying in 2006/07 to a mere 350,000 in 2015/16.
The silver lining is that the amount being invested has at least increased to £5,310 ($7,068, €6,014) from £3,230 in 2006.
Jon Greer, head of retirement policy at Old Mutual Wealth, says: “This data from HMRC may suggest that instead of paying into their pension little and often, the self-employed only pay into a pension when they are confident in their disposable income.”
While no one would suggest that portfolio advisers would ever be the sole channel for reaching this market, it does beg the question of whether they are underserving the self-employed in terms of pensions and other investments.
"Those that want to build financial advisory businesses for the next 15-20 years should be looking at this area."
This is especially stark given research that suggests the self-employed have comparable overall wealth to their employed peers.
The Pensions Policy Institute has just published a report ‘Policies for increasing long term saving of the self-employed’, sponsored by OMW and released at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.
Underserving the self-employed
It notes that while the self-employed have similar overall total wealth, the sources of this wealth differ.
They are less reliant on pensions and indeed are much more pension-sceptic with just 28% who believe pensions are the safest way to save compared with 52% of employees.
The PMI also notes that 7% of the self-employed believe the largest part of their retirement income will come from their business, a figure that will make many advisers wince at the concentration of risk involved.
Among the policy approaches suggested by OMW include using the annual tax-return to nudge a self-employed person to nominate a pension arrangement to receive a pension contribution.
It also suggests a ‘sidecar’ model for self-employed pensions aimed at addressing the issue of managing cash flow.
It suggests a ‘sidecar’ approach involving creating an optimal level of liquid savings – around one-sixth of annual income – using a dual liquid account with easy access and pension account.
Once funds reach a certain level in the liquid account, then all contributions would be paid into the pension account.
But as policy makers grapple with tax and regulatory solutions, are advisers missing out on an important market especially those among the self-employed who may be directors of significant businesses a few years hence?
Gap in the advice market
Adam Carolan, chartered financial planner with Xentum, says many advisers remain focused on the opportunities arising from the pension freedoms and may not need to service any new markets.
But there are opportunities for advisers alive to the changing shape of employment.
He says: “For those that are looking longer term, the opportunity is absolutely there as we live in an entrepreneurial world now. It has never been easier to start a business and make money given the digital age.
“This is starting to show with an ever-increasing number of younger successful entrepreneurs. Because of my age and the way I work – on fixed fees – I have had a fairly easy and profitable time working in this area of the market for a few years now.
“I am starting to see more of my peers enter the market for the better. The upside in this area of the market is huge for those looking to build for the long term.
Other advisers suggest that their local connections still stand them in good stead and keep them in contact with the self employed.
Plan Money director Peter Chadborn says: “Most advisers will have mutually beneficial professional relationships with accountants and thereby receive regular introductions to the self-employed.
“Those that do not could be missing out on this potentially lucrative market. Our self-employed clients typically have greater, more specific planning requirements and that is where we can prove our worth and establish long-standing relationships.”
Kerry Nelson, founder of Nexus IFA says: “A lot of people go self-employed because they feel they can earn the same level of income as in their employed role but they down count the benefits.
“People need to be encouraged to start investing, even if they are starting from a lower basis. They should treat themselves exactly the same as if they were employed. They should factor that in as a cost for working for themselves.”
She does fear that the self employed often wait ten years before doing anything significant in terms of savings and investing, but that means the cost of providing the same benefits increase several fold.
Building long-term client relationships
“If advisers can take a longer term view with the self-employed and certainly not actively dismiss them involve them in education process so they understand what a net result would be, so they become long term clients.”
Carolan adds: “Those that want to build financial advisory businesses for the next 15-20 years should be looking at this area.
“The old ways of working for the same company and retiring is fading fast. We are in a much more aspirational time where, as long as you have a laptop, you can make money.
“We have also seen a huge surge in support for those looking to start their own businesses.
“I can only see this trend increasing. Financial advice has always coupled well with business owners because of the complexity but the financial advice firms of the future need to start looking beyond retirement planning as that is going to become less relevant.”
“If you want to look after the next generation of successful businessmen and women, design a service proposition around their needs and requirements.
“Future cash flow forecasting and retirement planning until you are 99 are not really relevant for someone in their 20s or 30s. Issues like budgeting, childcare, school fees and accumulation of investments is extremely relevant so your service and marketing needs to reflect this.
“There is absolutely no reason that the younger generation can’t pay fees that are profitable but it may mean some advisers moving away from the traditional methods of charging.”

What does China’s experience teach us in the battle against the corona virus, according to the World Health Organization?
Thursday March 19 is the day the number of corona virus deaths in Italy surpassed China’s. It is also the first day no new infections were detected in China. Other East Asian countries, like Japan, Singapore and South Korea, have managed to contain the corona epidemic better than most countries in Western Europe. What are the reasons?
The warning issued by doctor Tedros, head of the World Health Organization (WHO), could not have been clearer. “Washing hands and coughing in the elbow reduce the risk and so does ‘social distancing’”, he said during a press conference on Monday March 16. “But this is not how we will defeat this pandemic (the corona virus, editor’s note). We have a simple message: test, test, test.” 1 It is one of the most important lessons to be learned from the experiences of China and other countries in East Asia.
“We cannot stop this pandemic if we don’t know who is infected”
Dr. Tedros acknowledged countries are now taking measures to reduce contact between people (‘social distancing’), but most countries fail to actively trace infected individuals. However, according to the WHO, this is the backbone of a successful response to the corona epidemic. “The most effective way to prevent infection and to save lives is to break the transmission chain. This is why we need to test and isolate”, Tedros says. “You cannot fight a fire blindfolded. We cannot stop this pandemic if we don’t know who is infected.”
This is what China has taught the World Health Organization. At the end of February, an international group of scientists went on a mission to learn about the way the outbreak of the virus was handled. In their report, the scientists praise the approach of the Chinese authorities. They describe it as the “most ambitious, agile and aggressive disease containment effort in history.”2
The mission was led by doctor Aylward, who has 30 years’ experience in fighting polio, ebola and other global health emergencies. In a detailed interview with the New York Times, he provided details and background on the Chinese approach to the outbreak of Covid-19, the disease caused by the new corona virus.3
“In towns with limited numbers of cases, massive scans of body temperature were carried out.”
The approach depended on whether towns had zero cases, sporadic ones, clusters or widespread contamination, he explains. First, they started with the basic rules: hand-washing, masks, not shaking hands, identifying symptoms. In towns with limited numbers of cases, massive scans of body temperature were carried out. Sometimes even cars were stopped on the highway to check for persons with fever. As soon as clusters were found, schools, theaters and restaurants were shut. Only Wuhan and nearby cities went into total lockdown.
Looking for patients
The healthcare system was promptly re-organized: “First, they moved 50 percent of all medical care online so people didn’t come in,” doctor Aylward explains. “If you needed prescriptions like insulin or heart medications, they could prescribe and deliver it.”
Patients showing symptoms of Covid-19 are kept away from regular medical infrastructure and sent to a special fever clinic. They have their temperature taken, are being examined, the patient is being questioned and a CT scan of the lungs is immediately taken. This all takes just about ten minutes. If there are indications of infection with the corona virus, a sample from the nose is taken for investigation.
“The virus hardly gets a chance to infect others”
Patients potentially infected with Covid-19 are not sent home but are made to wait for the result of the test. This takes no longer than four hours. When positive, the patient goes into immediate isolation. Patients with mild symptoms - anyone not needing oxygen- are not sent to the hospital, but to a purposely designed facility. These are usually organized in sports complexes and have up to 1000 beds. Patients with severe symptoms or higher risk go to the hospital’s isolation wing directly.
Doctor Aylward is impressed with the way this system has been brought to perfection. “In Wuhan, initially, it took 15 days from getting sick to hospitalization. They got it down to two days from symptoms to isolation. That means a lot fewer infections. The virus hardly gets a chance to infect others.”
In China the number of new infections today is zero.
What was important as well: people did not have to pay. The state pays for all corona virus tests. Hospitalized patients don’t pay anything either, even those who have no insurance. Those infected with the corona virus can rely on free healthcare. Help was offered beyond the medical sector as well. Free transport was arranged, allowing people to travel home after Chinese New Year, food was distributed and workers were given extra holidays to bridge the inactivity gap.
A national mobilization
Furthermore, Doctor Aylward was overwhelmed by the way the entire country was involved : “Nobody was complaining that ‘Wuhan got us into this’. Instead, there was this tremendous sense of, “We’ve got to help Wuhan”. Other provinces sent 40.000 medical workers, many of whom volunteered. A lot of civil servants were given new tasks. Road workers were taking temperatures, distributing food or tracing patients’ contacts. I saw a woman explain how to put on sterile clothing in a hospital. I asked her if she was the infection control expert. She replied she was the receptionist, but had taken training.”
“I have talked to lots of people. They really saw themselves as on the front lines of protecting the rest of China. And the world.”
Technology also plays an important role. “They try to literally trace every single contact of all 70.000 cases and process huge amounts of data in doing so”, doctor Aylward says. “We went to Sichuan for example, a vast, rural province, where 5G had been rolled out. We were in the capital, at an emergency center with huge screens. They had a problem understanding one cluster. On one screen, they got the county headquarters. Still didn’t solve it.
So they got the field team. Here’s this poor team leader 500 kilometers away, and he gets a video call on his phone, and it’s the governor.”
Certain media claim this is only possible because China is an autocratic regime, but doctor Aylward disagrees: “I talked to lots of people outside the system — in hotels, on trains, in the streets at night… They’re mobilized, like in a war, and it’s fear of the virus that was driving them. They really saw themselves as on the front lines of protecting the rest of China. And the world.”
Following in Asia
Other countries in the region adopted similar strategies. Singapore decided on fast detection and isolation of patients as well. Their contacts were meticulously mapped. People they had been in contact with were actively tracked, tested, quarantined where necessary or followed up in other ways.4 This approach proved three times as efficient as detection of corona patients in other countries .5 Japan, too, opted for a highly targeted approach. The first patients mainly came into the country from China. As soon as a local cluster was discovered in the province of Wakayama, all potential contacts were traced and investigated.6
South Korea, on the other hand, hesitated and only started testing with the epidemic in a relatively advanced state. But as soon as testing started, it was done on a massive scale. Each day, 15.000 to 20.000 people are being tested for the virus. As soon as a patienttests positive, earlier contacts are traced to uncover a potential further spread of the virus. The country does this in a very thoroug way and even uses GPS data from mobile phones.7
Criticism of the Chinese approach
The Chinese approach of the Covid-19 epidemic drew some criticism, especially in its early stages. There was the case of Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist from Wuhan. On December 30 he sent out a warning to his friends. In his message he mentioned SARS, the earlier version of the new corona virus that caused havoc in China fifteen years ago. Local authorities punished him as they believed he was causing panic.
It is clear that, at the start of the outbreak, serious mistakes were made at various levels of the Chinese state apparatus. Chinese authorities admit this. President Xi Jinping has criticized the initial decision making at local level. But he added this attitude was quickly adjusted and a sense of responsibility and a drive for collective action quickly appeared. Various individuals have been removed from their functions because they committed serious mistakes.8
But corrections were made swiftly. The city’s health services were quick to report the virus outbreak to the WHO. The exact type of corona virus was only identified on January 7 and a few days later Chinese health authorities shared the entire genome of the virus, allowing labs worldwide to start working.
Walking on one leg
Apart from the criticism, the Chinese approach teaches us a lot. First of all, it was walking on two legs. On the one hand, it demanded great sacrifice from citizens who were forced to drastically reduce their mobility and social lives, on the one hand. On the other hand, authorities set up an enormous machinery to detect Covid-19 patients as early as possible, to isolate them and trace their contacts. This combination proved successful in other countries as well.
The WHO now finds western countries seeking behavioral change, by imposing social distancing, reducing mobility and placing entire areas under quarantine, but failing the second aspect: actively searching for and identifying Covid-19 patients. The United States even lack enough test kits but pretend everything is under control.9
The Chinese approach requires strong public healthcare equipped at all levels.
The western strategy is seems to balance on just one leg: drastic behavioral change is demanded from the public but authorities don’t take sufficient action to trace the virus. This should not come as a surprise. The Chinese approach requires strong public healthcare equipped at all levels, close to the people, and authorities able to mobilize an entire population.10 This has allowed them to trace Covid-19 patients as vigorous as they have. The same goes for Singapore, Japan and South Korea.
Less so in European countries, where cost reductions and privatizations have undermined health systems. It is no secret either savage capitalism has affected the American healthcare system even more. Nearly thirty million Americans can’t even dream of affording health insurance. Even if free tests for Covid-19 patients would be available, they wouldn’t be able to pay for treatment.
But, we too are facing a silent dismantling of our public healthcare system and, all too often, profit making is playing a role. The Chinese and Asian experiences show us public health systems are best placed to mobilize the people and resources required at critical times such as during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Some businesses will expand to huge proportions, while others remain little mom-n-pop shops. The majority; however, will simply dissipate.Businesses overall have a high rate of failure, and that is especially true for online companies. Read the following article to keep your business from failing and learn how to avoid that fate by implementing some great Affiliate marketing tips.
Knowing your competitors are up to is a vital part of affiliate marketing.
It is a good idea to keep contact information for your customers. Ask users to sign up on your site or require them to submit an email address before making a purchase. Later, you can incorporate this information to market to your customers, as well as send them promotional materials or inquire about customer feedback.
Advertise your company with the Internet’s most popular websites online. This can make a huge difference for exposure.
This will help them to remember you. This will allow you are trying to highlight your products and services.
If there’s a signature option when posting on forums and blogs, use it. Join forums and include a link in the signature. Add the link to your email signatures. This will be a way to passively promote your website to everyone you come in contact with on the web and might affect your search engine rankings as well. Create intrigue with interesting text so the readers will feel the need to click your link.
Big business do not develop through sheer luck. Do you believe that Coca Cola just hit a stroke of luck when they developed their soda drink idea? They put in the time and effort to effectively market their soft drink.
Most mobile phone companies let you associate a specific business number with your existing phone. So get a number.
When considering advertising your site, evaluate the different ways you can go about that. Excellent sources of advertising your site include blog promotion, posting to them, and hanging around all the social networking sites. These are some of the ways that you can increase your traffic to improve sales. Creativity is key when trying to gain customers.
Image searches may be an alternative way of online marketing strategies. People who are searching for other things might wind up on your site because they were searching for a particular image. This process is the first step in forging an ongoing relationship between them and more people to your brand every day and sometimes these people do come back to your site.
Keeping your website simple and easy is something that webmasters sometimes do not think about. Smart owners always remember that not all users are interested in dealing with this kind of technology. A website should be fully functional if it doesn’t have fancy bells and whistles.
When engaging in internet marketing, monitoring what your competitors are doing is a crucial step in the process. It doesn’t matter what market you have, there is always competition.
If you can prove the effectiveness of your product through videos or testimonials, you will sell many more customers on the idea that the claims of success you are making are actually true.This is a great illustration of why you need to sell any products you have used whenever possible.
The Internet is continuously changing, and it is changing quickly, so staying abreast of the latest innovations and high ranking websites can help you a lot in knowing the best routes to take to make your product readily available to the general public.
You should spend enough time to at least learn a little about web design. Find things out online about HTML or CSS to know what you need to do. Dedicate a certain amount of time each day to learning web design and your website will be reaping the benefits before you know it.
Make sure your website makes your links highly visible. This will keep your audience engaged and they won’t have an easier time finding what they’re looking for.
Post a video advertisements to show customers how your product you’re selling. This way the customer to see you utilizing the product. You can host your video on your own blog.
Always be prepared to cover any questions that your guests may have. Visitors usually arrive at your site to learn more and if you aren’t answering their questions, they are going to leave. Offering detailed information and answering frequently asked questions will provide them with what they need and they will be more likely to become a customer.
You could also join online communities, read marketing blogs, go to seminars, or read eBooks.
You will improve your chances of getting sales if you allow more payment options. While just having credit card payment might seem like enough, you should let people pay with their checking account or payment systems such as Paypal.
Blogging is a great adjunct to any internet marketing business. A blog gives you another way to communicate with your customer base. Blogs will also increase your content. This will raise your visibility with search engines and increase visitor traffic.
This needs to be clearly advertised to your website. The percentage of profit you give doesn’t have to be large to effectively spike sales.
The most effective marketing strategy is having solid content. A fresh set of eyes makes a huge difference.
Give your customers a reason to visit your website. Having a website that’s only one page or barely has information on it won’t really attract people. For instance, you can allow your customers to read various product reviews written by real customers, or articles explaining your business and your product. Your goal should be to inform people, not only to sell them on a product.
Find unique ways to give out prizes. If your customers like you and your site, they will trust you more.
Make sure your advertisements.
One piece of internet marketing wisdom some webmasters overlook is to keep websites simple. Adobe Flash and other multimedia tools can be seductive to website owners, so professional website designers push these tools. Make it simple enough for everyone to use! Websites should work for all viewers, whether or not they have fancy plug-ins and media enhancement software.
A strong website is essential to success in the realm of Affiliate marketing. If the people visiting your site cannot find their way through your site, they will not buy from you.
You will often find that people will also purchase other items to their $1 discount item. Always promote your products and services.
Most advertisements that are short and sweet get the most attention, and therefore are the most successful. Pick a few key points about the product or service you provide, and make them known in a short but catchy way. Back up your promises by offering fast downloads, a speedy and secure checkout procedure and instant confirmation emails for online orders.
Provide a time-sensitive incentive to order. This could be in the form of giving free shipping or free gift-wrapping to anyone who purchases made prior to a certain date.
Consider what your target audience expects when visiting your website. If you can offer customers what they expect, you will notice a sharp upturn in sales and duration of site visits. Ask visitors for objective opinions on your site. You may ask your family and friends or get comments from any marketing forum.
Another option would be combining products into a package deal and selling it for a lower price. That way the customer gets more bang for their buck. Make sure that the terms are stated clearly in all of your marketing literature.
Most people will not believe what is written within ads. This is due to the fact that many people have been exposed to numerous instances of overexposure to misleading or deceitful advertising. This makes it very important to support every claim you make on your site must be backed up with concrete proof. Use commentaries, progress pictures, testimonials, and test reports. Don’t make any claims that you can’t prove. You should always respect your customers’ intelligence and provide them with quality content. Do not take advantage of a customer.
Offer a free service. Many will visit for the free offer. Some will stick around your site! For instance, if you have a financial website, you could offer a tax return calculator at no charge.
Listen to people’s gripes and you may just find a niche in solving those common problems. This is an excellent system for discovering what problems that need fixing. Once you figure out what some of the common problems are, you can start finding solutions.
The only benefit to a business failing is more room for your company. The marketing tips listed here will lead to your online success.
HTML tags are very important for optimizing your website for search engines. These tags indicate the important content on your page and will display it in different levels of bold. Search engine spiders use tags to determine the purpose and relevance of your site. Be sure to emphasize the most important keywords.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is not only an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case that was prosecuted by the Justice Department, but they have also been designated by the United Arab Emirates as a terror group and by being a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt has designated them as that as well. This is why it is so atrocious that Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner would align himself with enemies of America and enemies of his own people, which tells you a lot about Mr. Turner. However, that is just what he did when he made a proclamation that December 9 would be “CAIR-TEXAS, Houston Day,” which makes him an enemy of the people.
Here’s the proclamation and the text that follows.
Whereas, CAIR-Texas, Houston is a chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a nonprofit, grassroots civil rights and advocacy organization; and,
Whereas, CAIR is America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization with affiliate offices nationwide. Its mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding; and,
Whereas, the CAIR-Texas, Houston chapter was founded in Houston in 2002. Its vision is to be a leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding. As a leading voice for the Houston Muslim community, it strives to maintain the highest ethical standards in all of our endeavors; and,
Whereas, on December 9, 2018, CAIR-Texas, Houston will host its 17th annual banquet themed “Faith Led, Justice Driven.” The City of Houston commends CAIR-Texas, Houston for its commitment to Muslims in Houston and extends best wishes for continued success.
Therefore, I, Sylvester Turner, Mayor of the City of Houston, hereby proclaim December 9, 2018, as
CAIR-Texas, Houston Day
in Houston, Texas
Just remember, Herman Mustafa Carroll, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch, right there in Texas declared, “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land.”
Let’s not forget that this is the same organization that time and again has come to the defense of fake Muslim hate, which Muslims have inflicted on themselves in order to gain sympathy, and Texas experienced it firsthand with “clock boy,” Ahmed Mohamed.
Furthermore, though Muslims in America often try and hide the fact that they want to advance Sharia, the fact of the matter is that when Texas was looking at anti-foreign law, mainly to deal with Sharia, the Muslims came out of the woodwork to oppose it, including CAIR.
Add to that the fact that CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.
Islamic scholar and author Robert Spencer also points out:
Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. Ayloush himself in 2017 called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
The Islamists in Texas have already tried to unlawfully set up their own tribunals in the state. They obviously ran into problems when not a single one of the attorneys in the tribunal possessed a law degree.
CAIR is not looking for justice nor equal protection under the law. Have you seen them represent Christians? Offer to do so? Have they come to the aid of any other group other than the followers of Muhammad and his damnable doctrines in Islam? Nope, not once.
In fact, they are looking for “Islamophobes” under every rock, or should I say every truck, they can turn over. They are not interested in defending white people at all. No, they are the targets, even though Muhammad was as white as me, or more so, according to Islam.
However, the mayor just wished these people, who are advancing jihad on a political and societal front, “continued success” in advancing Sharia and Islam in Houston.
Houston children, when you grow up and the Muslims outnumber you and begin to inflict harm against you and great injustices, just remember the name, Sylvester Turner.
I will not invite anti-Christ Muslims (1 John 2:18; 2:22; 4:3; 2 John 7) into my home, nor into my country and then turn around and do the very thing we are commanded not to do, and that is to bless them and wish them well in their endeavors. That is a fool’s errand, and Mayor Turner has just told everyone whose fool he is.

In historic instances there has been little if any light pollution and the human race gazed up on the stars, a large dome of tiny lighting. These ancient people couldn’t realize what they had been, and thus, advanced faith and mysticism round this phenomenon. The ancients used those stars to assist them navigate at night both on the land and on the ocean. They mapped the celebs, and to them this became a totally large deal, absolutely you may see why? Or can you, are you able to see the celebs like they did?
Most probably if you stay in a large town the solution is no, no you can’t. Why? Well the mild pollution creates a din of mild that is going up well into the sky, Outdoor Led Flood Lights making the night time sky lighter and accordingly, the celebs appear dimmer and regularly you can not even see them. This is unfortunate, as we all lose part of ourselves, our ancestry and our history. We no longer realize which stars are which or which time of the yr they’re in all likelihood to seem. Well, most folks, there are nevertheless some amateur astronomers obtainable who do recognise which stars are which.
Amateur astronomers are constantly discussing the troubles with the light pollutants. This mild pollution causes star gazers to head properly outdoor the town to have their celebrity parties and approach that they become having them less frequently, giving them some other severe downside in studying the skies like their ancestors. Some cities have reduced their light pollutants, dimming avenue lighting fixtures at night time, this saves strength and reduces the mild pollutants of the metropolis to a massive degree. Its commonly now not enough, but it is certainly a terrific begin. Please bear in mind this.

This banana toffee cake is so moist and full of banana flavor with the addition of chopped toffee, then covered in rich browned butter toffee buttercream.
Hey there! Before you scroll, there’s lot’s of important stuff in the post!…including the FAQ section, which may answer any questions you might have about this recipe. Enjoy!
Recently, I’ve had this huge craving for banana cake. I LOVE banana bread, but I was really looking for something a little lighter in texture, plus something I could add buttercream to. You know how I love buttercream.
I really wanted to make this banana cake go beyond your average banana cake with cream cheese icing. I can’t leave well enough alone, right? After much thought about how I could make this banana cake really kicked up, I came up with this Banana Toffee Cake with Browned Butter Toffee Frosting.
Wow, this cake packs a rich punch. It’s moist, full of banana flavor and is kicked up with chopped toffee.
LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE INGREDIENTS IN THE BANANA TOFFEE CAKE:
CAKE FLOUR: This cake does require cake flour. I love using it because it just gives the cake a lighter texture than all purpose flour. Cake flour and all purpose flour are not really interchangeable. If you haven’t baked with cake flour, I encourage you to try it. I use Swan’s Down Cake Flour the most and really like it.
SOUR CREAM: The secret weapon for this cake is the sour cream. It’s really my favorite thing to add to cakes because it makes them super moist.
TIPS & THE MIXING METHOD FOR THE BANANA TOFFEE CAKE:
Now, this cake is a scratch cake and as you know, it’s important to mix scratch cake batter exactly the way the instructions say. Scratch cakes are particular that way. Just don’t over mix the batter and you’ll be fine.
My next important tip is to grease AND flour your pans. I’ve found the more moist your cakes are, the more likely they are to stick to the pan. So grease those pans and then coat them with flour.
If you’d like more tips on that subject, check out my post: Tips for Getting Your Cakes to Release
You’ll also want to make sure your bananas are very ripe. Ripe bananas will make it much more flavorful. By the way, if you have any bananas left, did you know you can freeze them? I just pop them in a freezer bag and into the freezer.
NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THE BROWNED BUTTER TOFFEE BUTTERCREAM:
Whoa Nelly! (Do people other than Southerners, say that?) Anyway, this frosting will make you do a happy dance. My happy dance is the cabbage patch. Remember that? Maybe yours is the running man. (Ok, I’m showing my age now.) You’re just gonna do some kind of happy dance and if you’re really talented, maybe a back flip.
The icing is made by browning the butter first in a saucepan, then adding the toffee bits to the warm browned butter. You’ll let it sit overnight (you can pop it in the fridge if you want) and then you’ll add the other ingredients to finish it up.
The combination of the banana cake with the browned butter toffee frosting is to die for. I could hardly contain myself when I was putting this cake together.
I put this cake together, sprinkled more toffee on the top, took pictures and commenced to
eating the heck out of it trying a piece.
Ok, now that I’ve sufficiently given you a banana cake craving, onto the recipe!
***I write recipes using volume (cups) measurements because here in the U.S., this is what people are used to seeing and using. For weight in metric measurements, click the ‘metric’ button under the ingredients in the recipe card. The weights are converted by a program, not me, and it’s a best guess. Please note that because I develop recipes using ‘cups’ I can’t guarantee that weighing the ingredients will produce the exact same results.
Banana Toffee Cake with Browned Butter Toffee Buttercream
For the cake:
- 3 cups cake flour (not all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ cup butter room temp (not warm)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
- 1 cup chopped toffee (I used Heath chopped toffee bits)
For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour your pans. This recipe will fill two, 8″ round pans that are 2″ deep.
- Using your mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add in the granulated and brown sugar and beat on low until combined, then on medium high for a couple minutes.
- Add in the eggs, one at a time and mix on low/meium after each addition, just until combined. Do not over mix.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk to mix it a bit.
- In another bowl, mix together the sour cream, whole milk, mashed bananas and vanilla. Whisk well.
- Add your dry ingredients and your liquid ingredients alternately to the egg and sugar mixture. Start with a third of the dry ingredients, mix on medium after that addition, just until combined. Then add half of the liquid ingredients and mix on medium just until combined. Continue on with another third of the flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Add the last half of the liquid ingredients and mix. End with the last third of the dry mixture. It's important to only mix until each addition is combined. Do not over mix.
- Fold in a cup of chopped toffee.
- Pour into prepared pans.
- Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 – 50 minutes. Start checking at 40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and set on racks to cool for 10 minutes. Turn out the cakes onto racks after 10 minutes to cool completely.
- Ice with browned butter toffee buttercream.
For the buttercream:
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium low to medium setting approximately six minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for about five minutes.
- Add vanilla bean paste or extract and stir.
- Stir in chopped toffee.
- Let the mixture sit over-night to cool or you can store in the refrigerator until it’s fully cooled down.
- Once it’s completely cool and room temperature, add to a mixing bowl. Beat on medium until fluffy.
- Add 3 cups of powdered sugar. Beat on low until combined and then on medium until well mixed.
- Add in 2 – 3 tablespoon of cream or milk and mix well.
- Add in the other 4 cups of confectioners sugar and mix well. If the buttercream is too stiff, add in more cream, a tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired thickness.

Next-generation safety cover
that is truly needed in the workplace.
ISEL machine shutters are the result of dedication to safety and visibility in machines and workplaces.
In addition to improved safety, a shutter-type door does not protrude to the outside and opens all the way to the top, for greater space savings and workability. Because transparent plastic panels can be selected for the shutter itself, the inside can be visible, promoting increased awareness of safety and cleaning. The use of standardized machine shutter parts means that the systems can be easily designed and installed once the shutter installation pattern and size are decided. The extensive lineup of accessories also allows customers to choose a safety cover that precisely meets their needs. Our next-generation safety cover machine shutters contribute to resolving workplace issues with space savings and improved workability in addition to safety and visibility.
THE PRODUCT FEATURES
- The opening of a conventional safety covers is small, making work difficult and producing the risk that the operator may strike his or her head on the top panel. On the other hand a machine shutter provides superior workability including ample work space for comfortable work, the ability to insert or remove workpieces from the top, and ease of maintenance.
- Space saving
- Because a machine shutter uses a shutter-type door, the door does not protrude to the outside.As a result, it can make effective use of small spaces and there is no risk of it interfering with passage, or of the operator striking his or her head on it during maintenance.
- Wide range of shapes
- Machine shutters are produced in a wide range of shape patterns, and a number of opening methods including vertical opening and side opening can be selected. Sizes are also available in 1 mm units, making it possible to provide safety covers that precisely meet customer needs.
The following is a selection of products from
the Machine shutter series that have been well received,
and their product features and development stories will be introduced.
MACHINE SHUTTER Series PAT.
Machine shutter next-generation safety covers feature shutter-type safety covers for the door parts. An aluminum machine shutter is lightweight and tough, providing superior safety. In addition to safety, a shutter-type door does not protrude to the outside and opens all the way to the top, for greater space savings and workability. Because transparent resin panels can be selected for the door, this improves visibility of the inside.
Opens all the way to the top for improved work convenience.
Saves space because the door does not project to the front.
We developed our shutter-type safety covers
based on the idea of creating safety covers
that are easier for operators to use.
While double door types made of panels and aluminum frames are the most common type of equipment safety cover, they have many problems including being inconvenient to use and the fact that the doors get in the way when they are open. For this reason, we began development of a safety cover that would provide a large opening and would not require extra space for opening and closing. However because this was our first attempt at development in this field, we had to learn everything for ourselves.
We conducted repeated tests by setting the tolerances for the extruded aluminum material and carrying out in-house development of purpose-built equipment that had never been manufactured in the world before. We focused on smooth opening and closing, ease of use as a safety cover, and customization with a wide range of shapes and optional parts, and succeeded in completing a safety cover that delivers high functionality and convenient use. Customers who have used these products have told us, “This is the safety cover we always wanted!” Customers have also praised these products as safety covers which combine good appearance with functionality.
Machine shutter next-generation safety covers feature shutter-type safety covers for the door parts. An aluminum machine shutter is lightweight and tough, providing superior safety.
These are safety covers with folding doors at the opening. The door does not protrude as much as a double-door type when open, allowing it to be used in small spaces.
These are safety covers that open and close smoothly thanks to the sliding door at the opening. Because the door can be easily removed, it is possible to expand the working space and to open and close the door and the top at the same time.
Safety box for
This is a special-purpose laser marker safety box that was designed for safety and ensures the safety of operators by protecting them from invisible laser light hazards. Laser markers from all manufacturers are supported.

How big is the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter? By one set of measures, it is three times bigger than the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, ten times bigger than either the Apollo Project or the International Space Station or Hurricane Katrina, or one hundred times bigger than the Panama Canal. These comparisons are only moderately outlandish. US$1.45 trillion is the Pentagon’s own December 2010 estimate of lifetime operating and supporting costs for the 2,443 copies of the F-35 currently on order by the United States government, which we can then compare to the known price tags, in 2007 dollars, of these five projects. Costs—also variously prefaced as procurement, actual, sunk, fly-away, upgrade, true and so on—and their contestations are central to a discourse of accountancy that surrounds all projects that require large-scale mobilization of public power. But enormous as they are, these numbers still cannot capture the size of this particular weapons program. To understand just how big the F-35 is, I wish to suggest in this two-part post, we ought to conceive it as a proper assemblage—a heterogeneous association of human and nonhuman elements that is at once split, processual, emergent, and, most importantly, constitutive of the modern international.
To explore this proposition, I follow the tenets of early actor–network theory (ANT), and in particular the work of one of its founding fathers, John Law. It was through a series of case studies of the TSR-2, early Cold War-era nuclear-capable multi-role aircraft commissioned and eventually cancelled by the United Kingdom government that Law advanced an argument that human actors hold no a priori primacy over things in constituting the social or, if you prefer, the socio-technical. Here is one revealing passage:
An aircraft, yes, is an object. But it also reveals multiplicity—for instance in wing shape, speed, military roles, and political attributes. I am saying, then, that an object such as an aircraft—an “individual” and “specific” aircraft—comes in different versions. It has no single center. It is multiple. And yet these various versions also interfere with one another and shuffle themselves together to make a single aircraft.
So instead of thinking about aircraft as objects with concrete essences and purposes, Law is inviting us to see them as “decentered” and “fractionally coherent”—as assemblages or networks that become objects only in interactions with other assemblages. He is further suggesting that assemblages are made up of both material and social elements that come together in contingent ways. And what is more, Law accepts that objects are also actors that can exert force—hence the term actor-network. In this ontology, aircraft are at once networks of multiple components, organic and inorganic, that have become connected in a particular way and heterogeneous actors capable of producing, inter alia, salaries and sound pollution, fear and loathing as well as theories and policies.
As a deeply relational way of understanding the world, assemblage sensibility is devilishly challenging to enact in “standard” case study terms. One option is to forgo the familiar historical or sociological narrative structure and opt for, as Law does in his Aircraft Stories, for a less disciplined “logic of the pinboard.” I will follow a similar logic in this post, but the title of the post should be read merely as a homage. What I offer are snippets rather than chapter- and article-length stories laden with philosophical depth and ethnographic detail like those penned by Law. I organized them in sections entitled “Joint,” “Strike,” and “Fighter,” the three words that make up the program’s proper name. My goal in each section will be to pin down at least some key processes of assembly at work without which this aircraft would not be possible. I am also hoping that our resident (you know who you are) and non-resident experts in this type of theorizing will help me better appreciate all the big and small ways in which the F-35’s emergent properties and capacities interact with, and constitute, the contemporary international/global connections.
Jointness, or jointery, is a conflicted signifier in the military-political idiom. “Joint operations” relates to the idea that wars cannot be fought without inter-service cooperation and collaboration (the nearby term “combined operations” refers to strategic, operational, and/or tactical co-work among allies). In its original U.S. context, jointness is a legislative desideratum, going back to the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act. No nation-specific piece of legislation can dissolve the cultural differences between services with a stroke of a pen, but there is no question that a joint warfighting ethos has become stronger in recent decades, and not just in the U.S. military. When it comes to military procurement, jointness goes back at least to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who famously championed systems that could fit the operational requirements of multiple services, the rationale being war-fighting performance “on the cheap.” For example, when McNamara forced the U.S. Air Force and the Navy into a joint custody of the TFX, a strike bomber
design that subsequently became the F-111 Aardvark, his blueprint was a basic business school model later made famous by Southwest Airlines and, still later, Ryanair (both operate a standardized fleet of Boeing 737s that enables them to reduce overall maintenance and flight operations costs). In this area, jointness has far fewer supporters among experts who see it is fraught with risks typically associated with Soviet-style central planning: “it puts all of the military’s eggs in one basket, stifles creativity and threatens the future for firms.”
In 1994, Congress merged two separate Department of Defense fighter jet projects to create a single aircraft for the three services—hence Joint Strike Fighter, the official name of the program that led to the F-35. Beyond inter-service collaboration, there are other forms of jointness is at work here multi-primary contractor, public-private, intergovernmental, transgovernmental and transnational. Preliminary research contracts for the project that eventually became the F-35 were initially divided among McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin, and these companies formed consortia involving Dassault (then partnered with Boeing) and BAE (then forming a threesome with McDonnell Douglas and Northrop Grumman). By the end of 1995, the program was also internationalized at the government-to-government level: a joint U.S.-UK memorandum of understanding was signed, specifying a 90-10 percent split for co-funding the aircraft’s demonstration phase. By the time the Lockheed Martin-led consortium won the contract in 2001, more U.S. allies joined this joint venture, pitching in millions of dollars towards product development.
The F-35 is known as a “high concurrency” program, which means that the system is designed to be churned out and tested simultaneously. The U.S. has relied on this production structure for almost a century, but usually in the wartime, when there is an imperative to field game-changing weapons as soon as possible. McNamara, for example, was a strong believer in concurrent programs, even after most of them went spectacularly sour under his watch at the Pentagon. Several enactments of, and attempts to enact, a “fly before you buy” policy have taken place since this time but they have had a tendency to be short-lived. One reason is that concurrency is a political invention above all—“production” is infinitely harder to de-fund than the process of development and testing of prototypes. A 2014 independent estimate of the size and geography of the F-35 constituency in the U.S. finds that the program is responsible for 33,000 direct jobs and around 60,000 indirect ones, nearly two-thirds of which are in Texas, California, Florida and Connecticut. This means lobbying. In the 2013-2014 election cycle, for example, Lockheed Martin alone made campaign contributions to 386 members of Congress (72 per cent), paying special attention to the members of the armed services or defense appropriations committees as well as those in the House “F-35 Caucus.”
From the perspective of assemblage-oriented teachings, however, the F-35 program is not a simple function of mischievous Keynesianism emanating from the “Iron Triangle” of Congress, the Pentagon, and contractors like Lockheed Martin. Defense policy and arms production themselves emerge via constant interaction human and nonhuman entities that vary in elasticity, durability and scale. Networks of politics and economy are clearly co-constitutive here, but the point is that they operate at globally and internationally, and in constant conjunction with similarly sized networks in strategy and security, science and technology, as well as in entertainment and popular culture. Further, weapons often come together in ways that cannot be easily predicted by traditional models of politics. The F-35 project was thus initially conditioned not only by Anglo-American political-industrial networks (more on this in the second part of the post), but also by a secretive deal in late 1991 between Lockheed Martin and Yakovlev, Moscow-based military aircraft manufacturer then desperately fighting to survive the post-Soviet transition. The cutting-edge “lift-plus-lift/cruise” configuration that the Russians sold to the Americans for U.S. $400 million is now central to the promise of the F-35B. Similarly, F-35 contractors recently managed to suspend the U.S. government ban on the use of made-in-China parts in defense production in order to gain access cheap but highly specialized rare-earth magnets without which the warplane cannot operate. As government auditors discovered in a recent investigation: “[i]n one case, it would cost $10.8 million and take about 25,000 man-hours to remove the Chinese-made magnets and replace them with American ones.”
Outside the U.S. government, the Joint Strike Fighter program involves, depending on how you count the flags, eight to ten “international partners.” Their all-important levels of partnership (three to four, again depending on who you ask) at once relate to the amount of cash invested, the amount of technology transfer and sub-contracting opportunities available, and the schedule of deliveries. While this arrangement is unique, U.S. interest in co-producing fighter jets internationally is not new. The F-16, Lockheed Martin’s previous bestseller, started off as a co-production (but not co-development) involving four non-U.S. partners. Subsequent Congressional developments, namely the amendments to the Defense Authorization Acts spearheaded by Senator Sam Nunn, encouraged even more inter-allied collaboration in defense production. In theory, the rationale is simultaneously strategic and economic: collaboration cements alliance ties, while also helping to offset development costs and increase exports, lowering unit costs overall. This is where traditional models of politics help. International collaboration involves trade-offs that are inherently unhappy and costly to all involved, but what matters most in the textbook political economy sense is the fact that such arrangements can make project cancellation prohibitively expensive for politicians.
Among U.S. allies, the demand for the F-35 is driven by a number of overlapping forces such as profit- and survival-seeking by national aerospace companies, status-seeking by the air forces, as well as techno-nationalism: “competitiveness,” “burden-sharing,” “seamless interoperability” are but three ideas that are commonly deployed by proponents of this aircraft across partner countries. Initially sold as a revolutionary, affordable and “offset-free” fighter jet, the aircraft has now turned into a complex and contentious political issue and every partner government, save for the oil-rich Norway, has struggled to stay committed to its “original” F-35 order (not the same as the purchase contract) while managing various opportunity costs and commitment-capability gaps against declining budgets. Lockheed Martin still insists that the F-35’s operational and support costs will be about the same or even lower than those of the legacy fighters like the F-16, but fewer and fewer officials and pundits are buying this estimate today.
At the time of this writing, most partner countries cutting down or thinking about cutting down orders, but outright defections are unlikely. The F-35 is deeply embedded in, and mutually reinforcing with, parallel assemblages like global aerospace industry or the NATO alliance. So viewed, one hypothesis is that this web of relations functions thanks to the way actors position themselves not as individuals staking an autonomous claim on strategy, but as constituent nodes in larger business and collective security networks. Despite ongoing issues with performance benchmarks, costs, and schedule overruns, compounded as they are by an underlying pricing, design, and production structure that it gives the U.S. side (i.e., the White House, Congress, the Pentagon and the U.S.-headquartered arms producers) nearly all decision-making powers on price and system specifications, the F-35 nevertheless “feels right” to non-American stakeholders.
National sovereignty issues, sometimes dubbed production asymmetries, are part and parcel of all multinational collaboration in weapons procurement and the F-35 is no exception. Perhaps the most striking example in this case is the refusal of the U.S. side to share computer software codes—the famed source codes—and the way this has resulted in a series of empty pull-out threats and botched side-deals. What is at work here is a mix of hard bargaining and recognition politics. Co-developers, co-producers, buyers and would-be buyers all compete with each other to prove that they are worthy of cutting-edge technological secrets and so of gold and platinum member status within the club.
Testing work on the final block of the ten plus million line-long code for the F-35’s onboard computer is yet to be fully completed. This particular task has proven to be extremely challenging, yet it remains vital to effectively integrating the engine, helmet, and other 130 individual subsystems. By design, software manages all but a tenth of the warplane’s function and, also by design, the U.S. manages the software (according to Lockheed Martin, the system is expected to undergo biannual upgrades, presumably in its Fort Worth facility). The same goes for pilot training and aircrew drills. Most if not all classroom, simulator, and flight practice is currently slated to take place at U.S. Air Force Base’s Integrated Training Center in Eglin, Florida. It is not uncommon for states to lease fighter jets instead of buying them, but there are no leasing options for the F-35. Instead, it appears that the dealership simply happens to sell both the machine and the licensing in one place, and the buyer agrees never to look under the hood unsupervised. The U.S. desire to control all F-35s in the world manifests itself through the principle of sovereign territoriality is odd considering that the Americans have comfortably worked with their allies in dozens of training centers around the world. A government decision to share the burden of training, maintenance and upgrades with the people of, say, the Royal Air Force base in Croughton would doubtless disappoint a few contractors in Florida and elsewhere, but this type of institutional power does not lie with them. Once again, instead of looking at the Iron Triangle, analysis should be redirected to a broader and more diffuse political architecture that reproduces U.S.-centric imperial or neo-imperial orders in international political life.
This production arrangement virtually guarantees more political horse-trading among partners in the future, but it would be a mistake to conclude that the house will always win. In late 2010, the White House offered Israel, officially a low-tier partner in the program, twenty “free” F-35s in exchange for a 90-day moratorium on settlement activity in the West Bank. In the interpretation of one well-connected reporter, the
attempted “bribe” spectacularly failed.

Oxford: Blackwell, 2009, 141-158, at p. 142. I cannot attempt to address the often subtle differences between assemblage theorizing and ANT here.
By my count, on the subject of the TSR2’s development, production, and cancellation, Law authored two book manuscripts, one of which was published, as well as five articles or chapters, three in co-authorship with Michel Callon. Here I draw on Law and Callon. “The Life and Death of an Aircraft: A Network Analysis of Technical Change.” In Wiebe Bijker and John Law, eds. Shaping Technology/Building society.

The multirole F-35 is designed to replace four or five aircraft in the U.S. military alone: the F-35A is intended to replace both the F-16 Fighting Falcon and A-10 Thunderbolt, the F-35B replaces the AV-8B Harrier II, and the F-35C takes over from the F/A-18 Hornet and possibly the Super Hornet as well.

A third of NATO air forces wish to share the same burden: being there on the first day of attack, flying the same fighter as the Americans. See the partner country case studies in Vucetic and Nossal. eds. “The International Politics of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.”
The idea of friends and allies collaborating on the F-35 “feels right”, but the practice of collaboration can, should and must be improved. This is one of the modal responses that emerged from 48 semi-structured interviews I conducted between June 2011 and January 2014 on the subject of the F-35 with industry, government and think tank representatives as well as academics and members of the media in Ottawa, Washington D.C. and at four international air shows. The majority of major contractors, defined as companies working on components specific to the F-35 as opposed general-use ones, appear to be located in Australia, Canada, Europe, and Israel.

Pride. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. So many people said so. It was grassroots, there was genuine appreciation that the LGBT community can fight for itself. We don’t need corporations to do it for us. This wasn’t a parade being put on to entertain straight people: it was a march for ourselves and for solidarity.
The ISO marched as part of a radical left contingent, chanting, “Brick by brick, wall by wall, we will make these prisons fall.” We had been at the counter-demonstrations of previous years, so this weekend felt like a real victory. We – the community, the left, working-class queers, Māori, trans, young queers – put up a democratic challenge and we won. This march was both a victory in itself and a celebration of that victory. There was joy in that celebration all around us.
We learned through this struggle. It taught so many oppressed people to be confident in themselves: we can win, and we can win on the basis of struggle and grassroots action. Grassroots action alone. We can draw people to us through this vision. At one point in the march the question went up about how many people were at their first march. Around a quarter of the crowd yelled back in response. The march was young. We should have hope for a more confident and militant layer of the oppressed emerging out of this. The politics of appealing to the official structures and getting representatives and corporate sponsors on board met a direct challenge yesterday. That challenge was a mass march through Queen Street, with bewildered straights and angry pigs looking on.
There were political challenges to this joy and solidarity, however. Transphobic bigots tried to claim that there were no lesbians on the march, which must have come as a surprise to the cis lesbians and trans lesbians marching together in love and solidarity throughout the march. TERFs, the peddlers of this divisive hatefulness, are a minority in this struggle. The gay petit-bourgeois resent our success, too, but all the anticipated disaster predicted when the corporates withdrew their backing failed to materialise. Thousands marched in pride and solidarity.
There were no police at pride, but there was celebration and politics: dancing, marching, joy. Thank you to all the comrades who have contributed to the still-continuing struggle against the police and prisons, and for the liberation of all queer and trans people.

We have a problem with Pipeline jobs which starts on master node and then are redirecting to a specific slaves. They are starting and then they are waiting on last executor doing nothing for about 5-10 minutes (see 01.png picture), after this time the job is redirecting to a specific slave and checkout starts.
On our master node we have jobs "***Generator" which are generating jobs through DSL-plugin and they are starting automatically by SVN polling. On our master node we have about 20 free executors( see 02.png picture). When they are all free pipeline jobs do not block themselves, but if on master node are running 1 or more DSL jobs, Pipeline jobs are waiting in queue on last executor and they do nothing for about 5-10 minutes and after this time job is redirecting to a specific slave and process continuous normally.
Why one DSL job is blocking all Pipeline jobs even if there are 19 free executors ?
On 03.png you can see how deploy jobs cumulate below last free executor ( they are not even assigned to a specific executor, they just wait below last master executor)
I deduced that the problem of blocking executors by DSL-jobs is related to increasing build time trend. After jenkins restart dsl jobs are working slower and slower. See 04.png and 05.png pictures ( this two screens present build time trend for two different job generators). If more and more generators are working longer time, after one week from Jenkins restart dsl-generator are working very long time on master slave. If there are at least 2 of them and estimated time to generate job is about 7-10 minutes, other pipelines job are waiting in queue on below last executor.
So the problem now is why dsl-jobs build time trend is increasing after Jenkins restart.

Submission of first U.S. New Drug Application for mavorixafor in WHIM syndrome on track for early 2H 2023
Emerging data from ongoing Phase 2 trial in certain chronic neutropenic disorders show mavorixafor durably increased neutrophil counts and enabled reductions in G-CSF dosing
New market research confirms significant initial target population for mavorixafor given high unmet needs within U.S. chronic neutropenia (CN) market
Plans underway for initiation of Phase 3 trial in certain chronic neutropenic disorders in 1H 2024
Conference call to be hosted today at 8:30 a.m. ET
BOSTON, Aug. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — X4 Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: XFOR), a leader in the discovery and development of novel small-molecule therapeutics to benefit people with rare diseases of the immune system, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, highlighted key recent and upcoming expected milestones, and presented emerging data from its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of mavorixafor in people with certain chronic neutropenic disorders.
“After a highly productive second quarter, X4 continues its forward progress as we fast approach our first U.S. regulatory submission for mavorixafor,” said Paula Ragan, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of X4 Pharmaceuticals. “Importantly, our continued positive momentum enabled us to raise funds through both equity and debt financings. With a current cash position of more than $160 million, we believe our strong balance sheet positions us well and provides us great financial flexibility as we continue to advance our commercial and clinical efforts.”
Dr. Ragan continued: “In addition, we are excited to report today emerging data from participants in our ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of mavorixafor in certain chronic neutropenic disorders. As our market research continues to suggest significant unmet medical needs and a market poorly served by current injectable therapies, we are quite pleased that the emerging data from our ongoing Phase 2 trial are showing that oral mavorixafor treatment durably increases neutrophil counts, and that these increases have enabled physicians to reduce G-CSF dosing in their patients while maintaining concurrent mavorixafor treatment. We expect to be able to share additional data from this trial in the fourth quarter of this year as we advance towards initiating a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in chronic neutropenia in the first half of 2024.”
“Lastly,” Dr. Ragan concluded, “with the recent announcement that Dr. Christophe Arbet-Engels will be joining X4 as our new Chief Medical Officer, we believe we are not only strengthening our readiness for our potential commercial launch of mavorixafor in WHIM syndrome, but also supporting the future growth potential of mavorixafor in chronic neutropenia and other potential indications.”
Recent and Key Anticipated Upcoming Milestones
Advancing Mavorixafor in WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) Syndrome:
- Additional clinical data from the Phase 3 4WHIM trial were presented at a company webinar in May 2023 and at the Annual Meetings of both the Clinical Immunology Society (CIS) and the European Hematology Association (EHA) in May and June 2023, respectively.
- The 4WHIM data presented in the second quarter of 2023 revealed that mavorixafor treatment resulted in statistically significant reductions in annualized infection rates versus placebo and effected clinically meaningful reductions in both the severity and duration of infections versus placebo in trial participants. These data followed disclosure in late 2022 that the 4WHIM trial had met its primary endpoint and first key secondary endpoint and was well tolerated during the trial.
- X4 remains on track for its first U.S. regulatory submission seeking approval of oral, once-daily mavorixafor for the treatment of people aged 12 years and older with WHIM syndrome early in the second half of 2023.
- Given the possibility of U.S. approval and launch of mavorixafor in WHIM syndrome in the first half of 2024, X4 intends to provide an update on its commercial readiness, physician outreach, and potential WHIM market during the fourth quarter of 2023.
Advancing Mavorixafor in Chronic Neutropenic Disorders:
- Given the demonstration of mavorixafor’s ability to durably raise absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) and reduce infection burden in the 4WHIM trial, X4 is currently evaluating mavorixafor for the treatment of certain chronic neutropenic disorders.
- Building on the success of its Phase 1b trial, X4 is now enrolling a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04154488) evaluating the durability, safety, and tolerability of chronic dosing of once-daily oral mavorixafor with or without concurrent treatment with injectable granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in people with idiopathic, cyclic, and congenital chronic neutropenia.
- Today, X4 reported positive preliminary Phase 2 results from three participants receiving G-CSF and once-daily oral mavorixafor showing robust increases in ANC, maintenance of ANC levels in the normal range, and the ability to reduce G-CSF dose earlier than anticipated. Additional data from this ongoing Phase 2 trial are expected to be shared in the fourth quarter of 2023.
- X4 is planning to initiate a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating mavorixafor in certain chronic neutropenic disorders in the first half of 2024.
- X4 also announced today that new research into the estimated 50,000 individuals in the U.S. diagnosed with chronic neutropenia confirms significant unmet medical needs exist despite the availability and use of G-CSF and suggests a potential minimal addressable market for mavorixafor of approximately one third of this population, or approximately 15,000 individuals in the U.S., plus meaningful potential market expansion opportunities.
Other Corporate Updates:
- Additional Mavorixafor Patent Issued: X4 also announced today the strengthening of its patent portfolio with a third patent covering mavorixafor’s composition of matter granted in June 2023. This patent protects compositions of matter comprising mavorixafor and a related substance formed during the mavorixafor manufacturing process through December 2038.
- Management Team Strengthened with Addition of New Chief Medical Officer: X4 recently announced the appointment of Christophe Arbet-Engels, MD, PhD, as its new Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Arbet-Engels brings more than 25 years of experience to the company in strategic global drug discovery, development, and commercialization, as well as expertise in rare and orphan diseases.
Recent Financial Events and Second Quarter 2023 Results
- PIPE Financing Completed: In May 2023, X4 completed a private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing priced at-the-market, raising approximately $65 million in gross proceeds. Participants in the financing included both new and existing life science investors.
- X4 Added to Russell 3000® Index: X4 was added to the broad-market Russell 3000 Index at the conclusion of the 2023 Russell indexes annual reconstitution in late June 2023. The annual reconstitution captures the 4,000 largest U.S. stocks as of April 28, 2023, ranking them by total market capitalization. Membership in the U.S. all-cap Russell 3000 Index remains in place for one year.
- Completed a $115 million Debt Facility with Hercules Capital: Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, in early August 2023, X4 announced an expanded $115 million debt facility with Hercules Capital, with an initial drawdown of $22.5 million at closing.
- Cash, Cash Equivalents, & Restricted Cash: X4 had $142.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2023. Including the $22.5 million drawn down at the closing of the expanded debt facility with Hercules Capital, X4 believes it has sufficient funds to support company operations into 2025 and notes that this projected runway does not include additional potential drawdowns from the debt facility nor the potential monetization of a Priority Review Voucher the company would expect to receive should mavorixafor be approved for WHIM syndrome in the U.S.
- Research and Development (R&D) Expenses were $15.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $13.8 million for the comparable period in 2022. R&D expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 included $1.1 million of certain non-cash expenses.
- Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) were $10.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $6.7 million for the comparable period in 2022. SG&A expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 included $1.0 million of certain non-cash expenses.
- Net Loss: X4 reported a net loss of $55.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $21.2 million for the comparable period in 2022. Net losses in the current period include $29.9 million of non-cash adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s Class C warrants, which are classified as a liability and are adjusted to fair value each reporting period.

About X4 Pharmaceuticals
X4 Pharmaceuticals is a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel therapies for people with rare diseases of the immune system. Our lead clinical candidate is mavorixafor, a small molecule antagonist of chemokine receptor CXCR4 that is being developed as an oral, once-daily therapy. Due to its ability to increase the mobilization of mature, functional white blood cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream, we believe that mavorixafor has the potential to provide therapeutic benefit across a variety of chronic neutropenic disorders, including WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, and Myelokathexis) syndrome, a rare, primary immunodeficiency. Following announcement of positive data from our global, pivotal, 4WHIM Phase 3 clinical trial, we are currently preparing a U.S. regulatory submission seeking approval of oral, once-daily mavorixafor in the treatment of people aged 12 years and older with WHIM syndrome. We are also currently designing and planning a Phase 3 clinical program evaluating mavorixafor in certain chronic neutropenic disorders following positive results from a Phase 1b clinical trial and encouraging preliminary results from an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in people with congenital, idiopathic, or cyclic neutropenia. We continue to leverage our insights into CXCR4 and immune system biology at our corporate headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts and at our research center of excellence in Vienna, Austria.

Keith Lee has vowed to kick-off 2021 by becoming WWE Champion and defeating best friend, Drew McIntyre.
On December 28, ‘The Limitless One’ attained the number one contendership to the WWE Championship after defeating the Scot’s other ally, Sheamus, setting up the biggest match of his career thus far.
However, despite the friendship between both champion and challenger, the former NXT Champion does not intend to go easy on ‘The Scottish Psychopath” and in a WWE exclusive interview vowed that he would start the New Year as he means to go on:
“How does one prepare? I would say the first time we fought, that was difficult to prepare for because he was hurt, he’s my friend, most people are aware of this. This match is much easier to prepare for. Let me explain why. It’s quite simple. His best friend, this man has an issue with me. He’s also a man he vouches for. A man that he supports. A man that he would put the trust of his life in his hands. He told me I don’t have to worry about mine in his hands but what’s happened two weeks in a row? I got kicked in the face last week, for winning a match for him, for Drew, for my team, for Raw, against some miscreants. And then this week I promise until the bell not to lay a hand on him and what does he do? He kicks me in the face again! A man he vouches for. It’s clear where I stand in his world. And while he’s a friend, I have to respect where he stands, and understand that WWE Championship stands above him. On the first Raw of the year, Keith Lee becomes WWE Champion.”
While Keith Lee may seem like a pawn in the slow burning rivalry between Drew McIntyre and Sheamus – which will end in the Irishman turning on his friend – that doesn’t mean that he’s not on WWE’s priority list.
Keith Lee will more than likely lose to Drew McIntyre on January 4, but he is also one of the favourites to win the Royal Rumble Match on January 31 with the already pitched bout of Lee vs. McIntyre vs. Brock Lesnar rumoured for WrestleMania 37.

Http or Https? What Should Be Used For SEO Purpose?
Http or Https? Which is a better option for SEO purpose? Let's find out the pros and cons for using http and https for SEO purpose?
Many people come across this and wonder what the difference between these two is. Let’s clear the doubt and also learn how your SEO can benefit with it.
Difference between HTTP and HTTPS
To communicate over a network, a set of procedures must be followed. This set of procedures is called a protocol. HTTP (Hyper Text Transmission Protocol) is a protocol used in networking. When you type a web address in your browser, your computer becomes the client and the computer being requested for the information becomes the server.
The client follows HTTP protocol to make a connection and fetch information from the server. The information sent and received floats over freely over the internet and no encryption is done over the information. Thus, the information is unsecured. The port used for communication is 80 and the URL(Uniform Resource Locator) begins with "https://ittisa.com"
The problem arises when information has to be secured while client communicates with server e.g. a financial transaction, where the information is too important to be shared on or float freely over the internet.
Here comes the HTTPS protocol, which is same as HTTP but is for secure file transfers. The information sent through HTTPS protocol is encrypted and hence a third-party cannot read it. HTTPS is HTTP and SSL protocol combined.
Connecting through HTTPS requires trusted public key and digital certificates to be sent to the server to confirm authenticity. The port used for HTTPS is 443 and the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) begins with "https://www.ittisa.com".
How does it matter in SEO? Why should you switch to HTTPS?
Pros of using https for SEO:
- Ranking - HTTPS is now being used as a ranking signal and Google is giving a boost to the websites with HTTPS connection.
- Security - If you are an ecommerce website, you will need to reassure your customers by using a HTTPS connection. It enhances user performance.
- Preserving more data - When the traffic passes from HTTPS site, the important data will be preserved but in case of HTTP being used, the information will be discarded in the traffic.
Cons of using https for SEO:
- Speed can be an issue - Since going from http to https is going to require more frequent connection to server for authenticating the certificates, speed may be slightly reduced.
- Cost- Extra cost will be required to buy SSL certificates. If you have a large data set, it might be a little complex to move everything from HTTP to HTTPS
Why have the SEO guys not made the switch till now?
In the past, folks believed any switch to HTTPS through 301 redirects would incur a loss of link equity, estimated around 15%. Because of this, many webmasters didn't want to switch.
Now that you have decided to take a step further in improving your reach through enabling HTTPS, let’s see how to do it.
How to enable HTTPS for SEO?
- All your links or pages should start from HTTPS. A webserver can be used in between to redirect the HTTP pages to HTTPS, but without it also will not cause a problem and will be less expensive.
- Decide what kind of certificate you need: single, multi-domain or wild-card certificate.
- Use 2048 bit key certificates.
- Use 301 redirects to direct all HTTP URLs to HTTPS.
- Migrate your social shares. Edit your site so that you are able to maintain the social shares.
- Register HTTPS version to Google and Bing.
- Update robots.txt file.
- Use Google’s help document for complete guidance.
- If only a part of website is turned to HTTPS, note that only the pages with the SSL enabled will be boosted for rankings.
- Implementing it involves complexity, risks, and costs.
- Lastly, there are a lot other things you can do to improve your rankings and switching to HTTPS is just one of them.
Have a great day!

Passengers are likely to see further disruption while travelling into London this summer, with strike action at Heathrow Airport set to escalate, according to reports in the UK.
Strikes began last Thursday, with 1,400 airport staff starting a 3-day session over pay and working conditions. Now, reportedly, another 600 security operators have voted to go on strike also.
The Unite trade union said there remains a gap between what Heathrow is offering and what the union’s members are looking for; adding that the ongoing dispute will “inevitably” result in more passenger disruption via flight cancellations and delays across the summer months.
“It is now time for them [Heathrow] to come back to the negotiating table and deal with this issue before further escalation occurs. Strike action is now set to escalate throughout the summer and Unite will leave no stone unturned in support for our members involved in the dispute,” said Sharon Graham, Unite general secretary in the UK.

What am I up to now?
October 2, 2023
Metrics, micro, macro. Measures, minimizers, magnitudes. Marshallian methods must mock my motivation. Matrices, μ, monotonicity; Malmqvist models mirth myopically? Moreover, myself maybe made mad, meaning “mental”, mastering much minutiae modeling mankind’s many monetary market messes.
(The first month of economics grad school is going great. Let’s dive in.)
A Suitable Boy
I’ve done less re-reading of fiction this year than I usually do. In fact, I’ve been positively smug about how much new fiction I’ve exposed myself to this year.I’m writing this a few days after the Ernaux win (I lost about £30 on the betting markets, I had money on Murnane and Edna O’Brien). I’d never heard of Ernaux before reading through the contenders sheet last week; I doubt I’ll read her but only because I have an inexplicable aversion to autofiction. Earlier this month, however, I returned to one of my old favorites, Vikram Seth’s A Suitable Boy. Seth wrote the bookI read it on kindle the first time, and was astounded to see the size of a hard copy, more than 1,100 pages! It read so fast while I was in Sierra Leone, about a week. Just now, I sprinted through in twelve days, but that felt like quite an achievement. instead of studying during his economics PhD at Stanford; he’s joked that it took him “eleven years not to finish my PhD.” I’m heartened to know I have a novelist/poet career to fall back on if the economics thing doesn’t work out.
The novel is about a 19-year-old woman, Lata, being pushed towards marriage by her mother in the 1950s; Lata’s choice comes down to three boys of varying suitability: Kabir, Haresh, and Amit. Much of the romantic story takes place in Kolkata, but action branches to Delhi, Lucknow, and Bihar. The scope of the novel led to overly confusing comparisons to War and Peace; Nehru shows up often, and the resignation of Rafi Ahmed Kidwai is covered in detail.
Unlike Tolstoy, however, Seth’s eye for the political scope is without pretension. His biographizing of Nehru is deeply sympathetic personally but caustic historically. There’s a delightful critique of Tolstoy’s “masses” theory of history; agree that history is contingent, it’s not the decisive action of the Great Men which decides events. But instead of the sum of infinitesimals which is a mass movement, what matters are the unknowable quirks of individuals making decisions.C.f., JFK misunderstanding what the Joint Chiefs meant when they told him the Bay of Pigs had a ‘fair chance’ of success. If only they’d read Superforecasting. Seth’s portraits of early Indian leadership fits in this school, staunchly against Tolstoyian contingency, but with deep sympathy for it.
The actual question of interest, much more central than for Natasha, is who is most suitable for Lata? In my memory, before beginning my re-read, Amit was the only choice. I might have had a crush on him myself, and Seth draws him almost as a self-portrait — an Oxonian poet and novelist, already acclaimed in the West and Anglophone India, Amit is superlatively sympathetic.The most illustrative bits about him are massive spoilers, so I’ve put one of my favorite at the bottom; search for ‘Chatterji.’ But there’s also the deeply romantic potential of the bad-boy Kabir; being Muslim, his presence causes Lata’s mother no end of stress. And Haresh is hardworking and simply adoring of Lata. Tho he starts pathetic, he grows on me the most throughout. At one point, on a train, he makes a list entitled “My Life:”Moreso than planes or buses, trains inspire lists with grandiose titles.
1. Must catch up with news and world affairs. Haresh felt he had not come off well on this account during his meetings with the Mehras. But his work kept him so busy that sometimes he hardly had time even to glance at the papers.
2. Exercise: at least 15 minutes each morning. How to find the time?Ha.
3. Make 1951 the deciding year of my life.
4. Pay off debts to Umesh Uncle in full.
5. Learn to control temper. Must learn to suffer fools, gladly or not.
6. Get brogue scheme with Kedarnath Tandon in Brahmpur working properly. This he later crossed out and transferred to the work-related list.
7. Moustache? This he crossed out, and then rewrote together with the question mark.
8. Learn from good people, like Babaram.
9. Finish reading major novels of T.H.Thomas Hardy. This is likely the most autobiographical item on Seth’s list.
10. Try to keep my diary regularly as before.Who hasn’t written this in a diary before?
11. Make notes of my five best and five worst qualities. Conserve latter and eradicate former.
Haresh read over this last sentence, looked surprised, and corrected it.
A Suitable Boy is only slightly an economic novel, but it is an economical one. Seth’s aversion to adverbs is second only to Stephen King’s. When he does deploy them, it’s done mockingly.
The talkative [guppi] was asking Maan about his love life, and Maan was attempting weakly to fend off the questions. “People’s love lives are not very interesting,” said Maan, sounding unconvincing even to himself.
“How can you say that?” said the guppi. “Every man’s love life is interesting. If he doesn’t have one, that’s interesting. If he has one, that’s interesting. And if he has two, that’s twice as interesting.” He laughed delightedly at his sally.
Another reason I’m partial to Seth is our similar taste in Shakespeare: Twelfth Night, my favorite of the comedies, plays an extended role in the plot. Lata is cast as Olivia;'’The girl who played Viola too was excellent, and Lata enjoyed falling in love with her.’’ one of her suitorsThe Muslim boy disapproved of by Mrs. Mehra. is a talented, pathetic Malvolio. The version staged in the book, “Indian-movie-style, concluded with the last of four songs.” And contemplating her niece prior to opening night:
Sometimes, sitting here, with the marked script of Twelfth Night open on her lap, Lata substituted the word “happiness” for “greatness” in the famous quotation.‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.’ She wondered what one could do to be born happy, to achieve happiness, or to have it thrust on one. The baby, she thought, had arranged to be born happy; she was placid, and had as good a chance as anyone of happiness in this world, her father’s poor health notwithstanding.
I’ll throw in a long section, my favorite, to conclude. Amit is giving a seminar about his new novel to high society in Kolkata:
“Do you believe in the virtue of compression?” asked a determined academic lady.
“Well, yes,” said Amit warily. The lady was rather fat.
“Why, then, is it rumoured that your forthcoming novel — to be set, I understand, in Bengal — is to be so long? More than a thousand pages!” she exclaimed reproachfully, as if he were personally responsible for the nervous exhaustion of some future dissertationist.
“Oh, I don’t know how it grew to be so long,” said Amit. “I’m very undisciplined. But I too hate long booksQuite self-aware, from a novelist on page ~900 of 1,100. : the better, the worse. If they’re bad, they merely make me pant with the effort of holding them up for a few minutes. But if they’re good, I turn into a social moron for days, refusing to go out of my room, scowling and growling at interruptions, ignoring weddings and funerals, and making enemies out of friends. I still bear the scars of Middlemarch.”
“How about Proust?” asked a distracted-looking lady, who had begun knitting the moment the poems stopped. Amit was surprised that anyone read Proust in Brahmpur. He had begun to feel rather happy, as if he had breathed in too much oxygen.
“I’m sure I’d love Proust,” he replied, “if my mind was more like the SundarbansThe Sunderbans, a massive jungle straddling the coastal border between Indian and Bangladesh, is most famous as the likely setting Kipling’s The Jungle Book [EDIT: This is a lie! I’ve been telling people this fact for years but it turns out Kipling probably had parts of Madhya Pradesh in mind.] The Sunderbans are also the place where I’ve seen the clearest Milky Way I’ve ever seen. : meandering, all-absorptive, endlessly, er, sub-reticulated. But as it is, Proust makes me weep, weep, weep with boredom. Weep,” he added. He paused and sighed. “Weep, weep, weep,” he continued emphatically. “I weep when I read Proust, and I read very little of him.”
There was a shocked silence: why should anyone feel so strongly about anything? It was broken by Professor Mishra. “Needless to say, many of the most lasting monuments of literature are rather, well, bulky.” He smiled at Amit. “Shakespeare is not merely great but grand, as it were.”
“But only as it were,” said Amit. “He only looks big in bulk. And I have my own way of reducing that bulk,”I so, so, so fervently want to introduce Amit to a Kindle. he confided. “You may have noticed that in a typical Collected Shakespeare all the plays start on the right-hand side. Sometimes, the editors bung a picture in on the left to force them to do so. Well, what I do is to take my pen-knife and slit the whole book up into forty or so fascicles. That way I can roll up Hamlet or Timon — and slip them into my pocket. And when I’m wandering around — in a cemetery, say — I can take them out and read them. It’s easy on the mind and on the wrists. I recommend it to everyone. I read Cymbeline in just that way on the train here; and I never would have otherwise.”All three of Lata’s suitors have affinities for Shakespeare, understandable individually, but cumulatively surprising. Kabir acted in Twelfth Night, and Haresh’s 1951-to-do list was written after ‘‘[it] occurred to him that he was behaving as stupidly as Hamlet.’’
Kabir smiled, Lata burst out laughing, Pran was appalled, Mr Makhijani gaped and Mr Nowrojee looked as if he were about to faint dead away. Amit appeared pleased with the effect.
On memory as plot
I read two novels, novellas really, by Juan Gabriel Vásquez this month — a Colombian novelist with, shall we say, political tendencies. Las reputaciones, or Reputations, stuck with me through two readings, first in English and then Spanish. Vásquez’s plot is fractured and engaging; the narrator is a waning political cartoonist who spends most of his time remembering the future and guessing the past.When people ask me if I can speak Spanish, I usually say yes, but only about things happening right now. Any conjugations beyond the present are beyond me. A singular event drives the action, but that event happened 20 years ago, and is happening now, and will also happen tomorrow. It’s a slow moving disaster, one the narrator calls “the meteorite, always com[ing] from behind,” but really the meteor already impacted.
He combines the metaphor with some shitty, Whorfian anthropology: “For an indigenous tribe in Paraguay, or maybe it was Bolivia, the past is what is in front of us, because we can see it and know it, but the future is what is behind: what we do not see and cannot know. The meteorite always comes from behind, we don’t see it, we can’t see it. You need to see it, see it coming and step aside. You need to face the future. It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.”
Memory is the key; Vásquez explores the formation of memories, the forgetting of memories, the weaponization of memories, and their anticipation. Anne McLean’s translation is excellent;I enjoyed her translation of Allende’s Maya’s Notebook ages ago. I have no quibbles except the title. Reputations translates directly from Las reputaciones, but reputations (political, sexual, historical) are not what the book is about. Vásquez is interested in legacies,When I chatted to two native speakers about this, they mostly agreed without having read the book. ‘Legado,’ the literal translation of legacy, is much more material in Spanish than English, the primary implication having to do with bequests. and these, not reputations, are the cumulative effect of memories.
In the quote above, I added italics on the last sentence. Vásquez pulls this directly from Chapter 5 of Lewis Caroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, when Alice is completely perplexed by the retrotemporally-challenged White Queen:
“It’s dreadfully confusing!’
‘That’s the effect of living backwards,’ the Queen said kindly: ‘it always makes one a little giddy at first——’
‘Living backwards!’ Alice repeated in great astonishment. ‘I never heard of such a thing!’
‘––but there’s one great advantage in it, that one’s memory works both ways.’
‘I’m sure mine only works one way,’ Alice remarked. ‘I ca’n’t remember things before they happen.’
‘It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards,’ the Queen remarked.”
I had re-readTho I’m not confident I’ve read them them before; I’m just assuming it’s the case. I’d be quite disappointed otherwise!
On a day like this, not reading Lewis Caroll next to the Thames seems a waste. both Alice books in early October,At my birthday party in the last weekend of October, my friend Lucy brought me a can of ‘Mad Hatter’s Jabberwocky Jalfrazi,’ without knowing about my recent Alice dive. The best gifts are lucky ones. before I got to Vásquez, so this reference landed with me 90 pages before the narrator’s ex-wife explains the source of the quotation to him in Reputations. The notion of time, of memory flowing backwards is attractive as a plot device and as a psychological mechanism. As a kid, my primary association with the concept was T.H. White’s Merlyn; this was both funnyAnachronistic references to telegraph lines, perplexing Sir Bors, once made me laugh out loud in the Westland Middle School library. and deeply sad.
Surbhi, a friend based in NY, recently gave me a passionate review of Ted Chiang’s short story “Story of Your Life,”The movie Arrival was based on the story. which prompted me to return to my favorite essay in the category “over-the-top sci-fi short story review/physics lesson.” Written, of course, by Gwern, “‘Story Of Your Life’ Is Not A Time-Travel Story” lacks Surbhi’s passion but trumps her on exasperation and rigor. Why do I include it in this section, below Alice and The Once and Future King? Because Gwern’s version of ‘Story’ is about the xenopsychology of memory. In the story, the narrator, a linguist tasked with learning the language of visiting aliens, tells the story from a single point in time about the future and the past. If you enjoyed the story or movie, you’re likely to enjoy Gwern’s review:
Instead, what appears to be precognition in Chiang’s story is actually far more interesting, and a novel twist on psychology and physics: classical physics allows usefully interpreting the laws of physics in both a ‘forward’ way in which events happen step by step, but also a teleological way in which events are simply the unique optimal solution to a set of constraints including the outcome and allows reasoning ‘backwards’. The alien race exemplifies this other, equally valid, possible way of thinking and viewing the universe, and the protagonist learns their way of thinking by studying their language, which requires seeing written characters as a unified gestalt. This holistic view of the universe as an immutable ‘block-universe’, in which events unfold as they must, changes the protagonist’s attitude towards life and the tragic death of her daughter, teaching her in a somewhat Buddhist or Stoic fashion to embrace life in both its ups and downs.
I don’t have much to add, nor the time to condense Gwern’s prose, so please click through if this strikes you as interesting. All of Chiang’s stories are worth perusing.
Elsewhere, I found a delightful short story by Catherynne Valente,I seem to remember it being linked to from the EA Forum, but I can’t imagine in what context. whose wrote a book “about a gaseous moth who devours the memory of love.” “Thirteen Ways of Looking at Space/Time” is written half-autobiographically in the third-person, and half hard sci-fi Bereshit.‘In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was a high-density pre-baryogenesis singularity.’ The relevant bits, on Chiangian memory, are in the even-numbered sections:
“Once, someone asked the science fiction writer got her ideas. This is what she said:
… That everything I write is always already written, and that the science fiction writer is sending messages back to me in semaphore, at the speed of my own typing, which is a retroactively constant rate: I cannot type faster than I have already typed. When I type a sentence, or a paragraph, or a page, or a chapter, I am also editing it and copyediting it, and reading it in its first edition, and reading it out loud to a room full of people, or a room with only one or two people in it, depending on terrifying quantum-publishing intersections that the science fiction writer understands but I know nothing about.”
I’ll finish with Le Guin, offering her usual no-nonsense take: “I know who I was, I can tell you who I may have been, but I am, now, only in this line of words I write.”
One weird book was cited in three books I read in late October, frequently enough I had to pay attention.Probably just a Baader-Meinhof coincidence, but a pretty surprising one. The forward to Alice, written by Peter Hunt, concludes that Charles Dodgson was almost surely a pedophile.My metrics professor would deduct points for abusing measure theoretic verbiage here, but ‘almost surely’ and ‘almost everywhere’ have always been counterintuitive phrases. To say that something exists ‘almost everywhere’ in a space both colloquially overstates its frequency — it could not happen infinitely many times on null spaces — and understates it — all of those places have measure zero. Mathematicians need to admit they’re not good at naming things. Hunt writes that “even the most sympathetic of Dodgson’s biographers [find] it necessary to face this particular problem directly (given that his index contains the item, ‘Dodgson, nude female form, attachment to’).” In this discussion, Hunt cites “James Kincaid’s pioneering Child-Loving: The Erotic Child and Victorian Culture,” which writes of the Alice books that they want to “stand on the threshold of … a seduction drama.”
I thought little of this forward, until three days later, when reading Amia Srinivasan’s collection The Right to Sex, I came across a familiar name: “Is there no difference in power between Kincaid, author of Child-Loving: The Erotic Child and Victorian Culture,His research interests are not relevant to Srinivasan’s point — the title of his book is used as a dunk, one which lands quite well. and his student?” Srinivasan, in “On Not Sleeping With Your Students,” takes Kincaid to task for an “abus[ive], pornification” essay on how he interacts with his students. Kincaid’s story is fairly involed,See page 132-136 of the paperback for the receipts, or search for Kincaid’s name. Libgen is a thing. but Srinivasan’s point is that Kincaid is a pedagogical failure: “[his] focus, as a teacher, should be on directing his student’s desire away from himself, and towards its proper object: her epistemic empowerment. If this is what the student wants already, then all Kincaid has to do is exercise some restraint, and not sexualise what is a sincere expression of her desire to learn.”
I recommend the entire collection, and most of Srinivasan’s other writing besides: an essay on bestiality; an obituary of Derek Parfit; an essay on the Rhodes’ legacy. She’s my favorite contemporary feminist philosopher, and my favorite living All Souls Fellow. Three of my friends sat for the All Souls Examination Fellowship this year. While my prior is that none will be elected,Just based on numbers — two fellows are elected annually, from ~400 applicants. All three of my friends are bash-you-over-the-head innovative thinkers who would hold their own in the University’s smallest & most intellectual college. the process sounds delightful. Recent exam questions include “‘O tell me the truth about love’ [W.H. AUDEN];” “Have independent central banks been a failure?;” and “What is special about José Mourinho?” Besides Srinivasan and Parfit, fellows include Lawrence of Arabia,Just went down an rabbit hole of his archaeological work. Anyone, who, at 20 years old, ‘‘cycled 2,200 miles solo through France to the Mediterranean and back researching French castles’’ is owed an interesting life. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan,Second president of India. Amartya Sen,I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with social choice theory this year. and Joseph Stiglitz.It’s odd that, of the six All Souls Fellows I listed, I have the fewest opinions about the development economist.
I recently found Zhengdong Wang’s blog, which I place in the same category as my own website, but much better. The highlight is his README page, and the “Maximum Fun” section sourced some fantastic recommendations.Wang also recommends Intepreter of Maladies, which was my absolutely superlative fiction book I read last year, and Memoirs of Hadrian, which was in the top ten. He prompted me to finally watch Knives Out, which did not strike me as superlative, but was very very fun. The recommendation which worked out the best for me (so far), was Jeff Smith’s Bone collection. Wang writes, “It feels like you got through a Lord-of-the-Rings-like experience in one sitting. The art is so sumptuous.” I have never read/watched Lord of the Rings, and this feels like an odd way to get there, but I enjoyed Bone so much that I might try it. Also, Smith’s shades-of-gray style looks beautiful on my extra-large e-ink tablet.
The Oxford Philharmonic is a delight — it’s a surprise to find a prolific professional orchestra in such a small city. Since March, I’ve seen four of the great symphonies performed by at the Sheldonian Theater, along with five smaller showings. Tchaikovsky’s 5th
The Sheldonian is my favourite non-church designed by Wren, much preferred to the old hall at my semi-alma mater.
The ‘Wren Building,’ on the campus of William & Mary, as depicted by the Bodleian Plate, was probably not even designed by Wren. The concert hall in the Sheldonian is tiny, every seat feels cramped. The D-shaped building is a single room — every wall you can see is an externally-facing wall. And every inch of room is used well.
First, the ceiling mosaic, painted by Robert Streater in 1669 and restored in 2008, is titled “Triumph of Truth and Learning over Envy, Rapine, and Ignorance.” I spent most of Tchaikovsky’s 5th distracted by the ceiling. The main circle consists of anthropomorphized versions of the courses taught at Oxford in the 17th century: Poesy poses with pipes; Mosaical law holds a set of double tablets; Astronomy rests on a giant astrolabethanks, Lucy, for figuring this one out with me ; Chemistry clutches a crucible. On the south side of the ceiling are the titular outcasts: Envy, covered insnakes, falls away from the circle of divine coursework. Rapine and Ignorance, I learned later, are not visible due to the…
…Organ installed in the 1880s, which reaches to the ceiling. While the organ is gorgeous, I was disappointed to learn the beautiful facade is now entirely decorative. From an uncited forum comment:
“The organ was a ‘Father’ Willis of 1877. It was rebuilt by Willis III in 1927/8 to a design of H.P Allen, without any Swell reeds. Harrison & Harrison rebuilt it in 1963 with mutations and a Cromorne on the Choir organ, as was popular at that time.
“The heating baked the organ, so in 1997 one of the Oxford alumni (a QC,) donated a synthetic instrument. It is said that the pipework remains in situ, though the loudspeakers are concealed within the rather splendid T.G. Jackson case.”
I was seated directly under the stage-right proctor’s box
Box for lion-eyed exam proctors. for Brahm’s 1st symphony. I spent most of the intermission speculating with a friend (hi Anna) about the fasces-weilding lions, looking like something out of an Indiana Jones dungeon. The best theory we could come up with is that they are intended to intimidate students sitting their exam in the hall every June.
In mid-June, I returned to the Sheldonian for the Philharmonic’s season closing, a performance of Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy and Choral Symphony, his 9th. Written fifteen years apart, these two pieces are closely related; I’d never heard them side-by-side before. There’s this identical transition from C to E♭All within C major. in the presto of the Fantasy and the climax of the fourth movement of the symphony; the sequence is jarring on it’s own, but startling with the massive build-ups. The Philharmonischer Chor der Stadt Bonn, the choir from Beethoven’s hometown, traveled to Oxford for the concert and blew the roof off the place.
I was excited for this concert for another reason — the pianist for the Choral Fantasy was Marios Papadopoulos, MBE, the music director and conductor of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra. My first trip to the Sheldonian, for Tchaikovsky in March, I sat next to the godparents of the concertmaster. This old Jewish couple had traveled up from London for the concert, and boy oh boy did they have gossip about the happenings of the Oxford Phil. Papadopoulos was an especially favored subject — with his shock of white hair and hawkish pout, he is an attractive character out of an Alexander McCall Smith novel. By June, I had spent more than a dozen hours watching Papadopoulos sway on his podium, waving down-beats past his hip with a self-satisfied smile. I was thrilled to watch him play Beethoven, and he seemed to have much more fun conducting while also responsible for the piano.
Most recently, in mid-October, I returned to the Sheldonian for Dvořák’s eighth symphony with my friend Johanna, a German economist. Here, the Sheldonian showed its weaknesses. Even halfway up the seats, the trombones sounded directly in our ears.Tho it is likely trombones have gotten much more powerful over the past century. The eighth symphony sits in an odd place in Dvořák’s life — one can imagine his friends congratulating him after the grandiose, cosmopolitan, brooding seventh symphony in D-minor, then asking him quietly if he’s doing alright. It’s possible he overcorrected - the eighth is downright ebullient. Then came the ninth, the New World, his last. It’s easy to find music historians who claim the seventh as Dvořák’s apogee, and others asserting the New World as unsurpassed. Empirically, the ninth has won; today, it’s played much more often than any other Dvořák symphony. This must be a historical and cultural accident tho — it’s the only great European symphony ever written in Iowa, which makes it enough of a curiosity.
Before each of these performances, I met friends at the White Horse, one of the innumerable 7+-century old pubs scattered around Oxford. The main virtue of the White Horse is it’s proximity to the Sheldonian.
Lots of baking and large-group meal experimentation this month. Here’s a paragraph about smoothies:
The previous residents of our house, mostly staff at the Center for the Governance of AI, left behind a Magic Bullet. Lack of access to a blender, it turns out, was the only thing keeping me from becoming a smoothie guy. I’ve had smoothies five mornings out of six this month. The staple is a banana at the bottom, frozen blueberries, peanut butter, and chocolate protein powder, but I’ve tossed in apples, oranges, pineapple, mango, avocado, kale, spinach, walnuts, carrots, broccoli, coconut meat, every berry you can imagine, cucumber, yogurt, and chocolate chips.Not all at the same time. Like most eating trends in my life, I don’t expect this to last long, but I’m enjoying the heck out of it in the meanwhile.
Spoiler from above
Amit, needless to say, was disappointed, but not as much as he might have been. His novel, now that he was free from the worry of handling the Chatterji fortunes, was going well, and many more momentous events were taking place on his pages than in his life. He sank deeper into the novel, and — a little disgusted with himself for doing so — used his disappointment and sadness to portray that of a character who happened to be conveniently on hand. […] Perhaps Lata had known that of the three men courting her, the only one who could be rejected without the loss of his friendship was Amit.

“Can I take your picture? I’ll laminate it and put it on my car”, the man said to me, as I stopped and looked at his “unique” vehicle. I’ve reached the point in life where I’m more likely to say, “Sure, why not?”, than “Why”?
Pretty soon, it seems, my face will be on a vehicle driving around Sydney, along with Bob Hawke, Clive Palmer and others.
The loud and pumping music from his vehicle was classic late 1990s/early 2000s disco, obviously designed to attract attention.
It turns out he was a “driver for hire” and asked me if I wanted a lift home. When I told him I only lived a ten minute walk away, he lost a lot interest.
But he was still friendly, and I enjoyed our brief moment of random late night conversation on Oxford Street, Sydney.
Sydney needs more people like this.

Fell asleep laughing and hugging Jud’s pillow.
Garrison’s to blame.
After reading Buechner and thinking deeper thoughts than usual, I picked up Garrison Keillor’s Leaving Home and read,
“It has been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon. It was warm and bright and the trees were in full color, magnificent, explosive, like permanent fireworks–reds and yellows, oranges, some so brilliant that Crayola never put them in crayons for fear the children would color outside the lines.”
Laughed out loud.
One holy laugh.
Had to thank God for Garrison and others gifted with words.
Sleep aids, sometimes.
Life enriching aids, mostly. Word artists, gifted at choosing words off a palette of possibilities, paint with dabs of hope, strokes of truth, dashes of wit, dots of wisdom, splashes of perspective.
Words matter. Much of my Bible reads like a diary with dates and notes in the margins. Written beside Psalm 63, “Jud’s final chapel talk at Gordon. April 4, 2011. ” Three days earlier, MGH spoke,”You have three cancers.” Now, it was Jud’s turn to speak. He leaned on David’s words, then lived them each day until his last.
“I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. I think how much you have helped me; I sing for joy in the shadow of your protecting wings. I follow close behind you; your strong right hand holds me securely.” Psalm 63:6-8
When life pummels with words no one wants to hear, God uses a palette like no other and paints a way, dabbing hope, brushing light into the corners where we cower, drawing us close, wrapping us with remembered words,” The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.” (from Psalm 23)
God has a way with words.
What can I say?

Starting a car wash business in Kenya is a worthy investment as a business owner. As car owners increase in the Kenyan economy, a car wash will yield profit from its owners. To start a successful car wash, it is important to follow these steps:
Step 1: Carry out a market research
Just like any other business opportunity, it is important to do your research on
• Identify what your prospective customers would look like.
• Research those already in the car wash business in Kenya
• Find out what a good location of starting a car wash business in Kenya would be.
• Determine the distinguishing factor, to make sure your customers are retained.
Step 2: Get a car wash business permit
Before entering the business, it is very important to make sure that you have the correct certification. One business permit is required to open a car wash in Kenya. However, it is necessary to know that the cost of getting this permit varies from city to city. This means that major cities such as Mombasa and Nairobi will charge a higher fee to obtain this permit.
If you want to open a very large car wash facility, you need to get a permit from the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA).
Step 3: Find a suitable location
Finding a good place for a car wash is one of the most important factors in the success of your car wash business in Kenya. Once upon a time, the car wash industry thrived near Nyamachoma’s grills and bars, mechanic shops, and even at bus stops. Another determinant is that the selected location
should be near a busy street or near a busy mall.
When starting this business in Nairobi, it is ideal to choose a location near or inside the parking lot. This is very convenient for customers because of accessibility. Make sure you have easy access to the car wash and all the visibility you can provide.
Needless to say, this location should be away from places with physical obstacles such as utility poles, ditches, or too many trees that can cause harm or restrict customer accessibility.
Other areas in Kenya that are suitable for buying or leasing land for a car wash business are shopping malls, public facilities and churches, to name a few. When looking for a location, make sure that the selected area has a stable supply of water. Water from natural springs is a bonus as it never runs out without your knowledge.
Drilling holes and wells can be dug, but be sure to process them regularly. Finally, make sure you reserve an area for the tank that should be filled with water whenever your business starts.
Step 4: Revamp the site and stand out
Once you’ve chosen the right location, it’s a good idea to make it more accessible to your customers. Customers are attracted to dignity as well as efficiency.
It is not recommended to start the car wash without rehabilitating the terrain by removing the barrier or fencing the area. Trench excavation and ground leveling are also essential steps in property redevelopment.
Other tips to keep your car wash business successful are:
- Make sure the site is large enough to accommodate multiple vehicles. A large space increases the number of cars you can wash at one time.
- Provides space for customers to wait for a car wash.
- Keep your car wash clean and attractive. Make sure it has good drainages to prevent floods.
Revamping the car wash site may also include adding some security features to your site to ensure safety for the customer’s vehicles
Step 5: Acquire the necessary pieces of equipment
A high pressure car washing machine
As an investor, The first thing you should buy for this business is a high pressure washing machine. These machines are available in different capacities from different brands and can be new or used. The purchase of the best car washing machine should be determined by the estimated number of cars visiting the car wash every day. Your best bet is a durable machine. Extra spending hurts your budget, but it guarantees longevity. The price of a car washing machine is about KSH 20,000- KSH 40,000
For models, just check the features that come with each brand. Some of the features to watch out for are spray guns, pressure options, anti-rotation systems, weight and dust blasting, to name a few. The more features you have, the more likely you are to improve the service delivery of your automated car wash business in Kenya. The pressure washer is available in major supermarkets across the country, with popular brands such as Karcher and Honda dominating the market.
Water tanks are important for the fulfillment of your automobile wash business. These usually are available in large capacities as properly starting from 1,000 to 10,000 litres.
The length of the water tank you pick ought to be primarily based totally at the availability of water withinside the region you desire to set up your automobile wash business. The larger the tank, the better.
Vacuum Cleaner, brushes, buckets, towels/cloths detergents, and squeezers
Buying a vacuum cleaner for a car wash is different from buying the same equipment for your home. Move to the commercial vacuum cleaner area that have more features and are not designed for limited use like the regular vacuum cleaners.
Buckets, squeezers, cloths and brushes do not have to meet specific criteria or criteria, but the higher the quality, the better.
When it comes to cleaning supplies, be careful not to shop for basic detergents at local stores or supermarkets. There are special detergents for washing vehicles available in some local stores. With a good scent, you can make your car wash stand out from the competition. However, some people are allergic to strong odors, so be sure to ask the customer. There are many options for these cleaning agents, including mild and strong odors.
Finally, it is important to note that while purchasing the above equipment, also be aware of some of the services offered by car wash. Some of these services may require equipment found only in high-end car wash machines, but they are needed to ensure a stable flow of customers.
You can offer the following additional services:
• Night parking
• Engine and under-wash
• Carpet cleansing
• Motorbike washes
• Selling spare parts and any other relevant or related products

TGIF and Happy June! Can you believe we’re nearly half way through 2023? Okay, time to share five random things about our week. (I always blank on the entire week right about now, LOL).
- It’s been gloomy and overcast here for days. In an unusual twist, it’s getting to Wizard more than me, although I’m tired of it too. But when the heat comes, we’ll probably miss these days
- I joined two new FB groups: One on women walking which is kind of cool. It’s for mature women who log their walks, show pics and share tips. I love the age bracket and the positivity so far. But I haven’t posted (I’m like to observe first to get a feel for groups). I also joined a gluten free one, but that one may not be for me. Just trying different things I might find a gardening club for clueless amateurs — but first I have to learn to spell amateur. I couldn’t even get close enough for spell check to guess what word I was trying to write!
- I downloaded a walking app that I’m just trying out and like so far. To my surprise, Wizard is trying it too. Walking is not something he’s ever really enjoyed, but who knows? I think it’s cool he’s willing to try on his own time and terms. What I also like is I believe I can add him to mine so he can check where I am for safety reasons.
- On Thursday, I got my hair done — my bangs are growing out! I’ve had bangs for decades so this is a fun change for me. Then I worked on making another batch of sourdough bread that will eventually become two loaves. That process is getting a lot easier for me now. And we have a gift card to a restaurant, so we plan to go out to dinner, which we’re looking forward too. I’m writing this blog before dinner, because I’ll need to shape the dough into the bannetons (baskets) for long fermentation in the fridge and forget to write the blog
- This weekend, we might go see Turbo and his family, depending on their schedule. Otherwise, we’ll just see what happens! I’ll leave you with this pic with our son and daughter-in-law from last weekend at the Kramer Arch (I’m the shortest one, second from the right):
That’s my five and now I’d love to hear yours! I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!

If you’ve been in a car accident and are considering hiring a lawyer to help you settle your case, you may be wondering how long it typically takes for them to reach a resolution. Well, the answer can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties involved to negotiate. In general, though, it can take anywhere from a few months to a year or longer to settle a car accident case with the assistance of a lawyer. However, it’s important to keep in mind that every case is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all timeframe. To learn more about the process and what to expect, read on for answers to frequently asked questions about the timeline of settling a car accident case with a lawyer.
Factors That Impact the Duration of a Car Accident Case
When you’re involved in a car accident and decide to pursue legal action, one of the most common questions you might have is, “How long will this process take?” The duration of a car accident case can vary significantly based on several factors. Understanding these factors can help you manage your expectations and make informed decisions throughout the process. Here are some key factors that can impact the duration of a car accident case:
Severity of the Accident
The severity of the accident itself can have a significant impact on the duration of the case. If the accident results in serious injuries or fatalities, investigations and legal proceedings may take longer. Additionally, complex accident reconstructions and medical evaluations might be necessary to determine the extent of damages and liability. On the other hand, if the accident is relatively minor, it might be resolved more quickly.
Extent of Injuries
The nature and extent of injuries sustained in the accident can also influence the duration of the case. In cases where injuries are severe or require ongoing medical treatment, it may take longer to gather all the necessary medical documentation and assess the long-term impact on the injured party’s quality of life. This can impact the negotiations and potential settlement amounts.
Disputed liability occurs when there is a disagreement regarding who is at fault for the accident. In such cases, determining liability becomes more challenging and can lengthen the legal process. Investigations, witness testimonies, and expert opinions may be required to establish fault, which can add significant time to the case.
Insurance Company Cooperation
The cooperation level of the insurance company involved is another important factor that affects the duration of a car accident case. If the insurance company is uncooperative, delays can occur in obtaining necessary information, negotiating settlements, or resolving disputes. It’s essential to have a skilled attorney who can effectively navigate the insurance claims process and advocate for your rights.
Availability and Credibility of Evidence
The availability and credibility of evidence play a crucial role in the duration of a car accident case. Gathering evidence, such as accident reports, witness statements, photos, and medical records, can be time-consuming. Additionally, ensuring the credibility of the evidence is crucial for presenting a strong case. If certain evidence is missing or unreliable, it may require additional efforts to collect or strengthen the evidence, resulting in delays.
Negotiation and Settlement Attempts
In many car accident cases, parties involved may attempt to negotiate a settlement outside of court. The duration of negotiations can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the willingness of the parties to compromise, and the efficacy of communication between the attorneys. Reaching a fair settlement can expedite the resolution of the case, but if negotiations prove unsuccessful, the case may need to proceed to trial.
Need for Expert Witnesses
Depending on the specifics of the case, expert witnesses might be required to provide specialized knowledge or opinions. This can include accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, or economists to assess damages. Coordinating with and securing the availability of expert witnesses can introduce additional time to the case.
Court Trial Proceedings
If a car accident case goes to trial, the duration of the trial proceedings can vary. Factors such as court availability, the complexity of legal issues involved, and the number of witnesses to be called can influence the length of the trial. Additionally, court rules and procedures may also affect the timeframe.
Complexity of Legal Issues
Car accident cases can involve complex legal issues, especially when there are multiple parties involved or when significant damages are at stake. Resolving these legal issues may require thorough legal research, analysis, and extensive documentation. The more complex a case, the longer it may take to reach a resolution.
Attorney and Law Firm Resources
The resources available to your attorney and law firm can also impact the duration of a car accident case. A well-staffed and experienced law firm will have the capacity to handle multiple cases simultaneously and dedicate adequate time and resources to each client’s case. On the other hand, a smaller firm with limited resources might struggle to efficiently manage caseloads, potentially leading to delays in the process.
Now that you have a better understanding of the factors that can impact the duration of a car accident case, let’s discuss the stages involved in the process and how long each stage typically takes.
Stage 1: Initial Investigation and Consultation
The initial stage of a car accident case is crucial for gathering information and evaluating the viability of your claim. This stage involves several key steps:
Gathering Client Information
During the initial consultation, your attorney will gather essential information from you regarding the accident, injuries, and damages. This will help in determining the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
Reviewing Accident Reports
Your attorney will thoroughly review the accident reports, police statements, and any other available documentation related to the accident. This process helps in determining liability and identifying potential witnesses.
Assessing Damages and Injuries
Evaluating the damages and injuries sustained in the accident is critical for estimating the potential compensation you may be entitled to. This process may involve obtaining medical records and consulting with medical experts if necessary.
Based on the evidence and information gathered, your attorney will analyze the liability in the case. They will determine who was at fault for the accident and identify any parties that may share responsibility.
Evaluating Potential Settlement Amount
Your attorney will work with you to calculate the potential settlement amount based on the damages and injuries sustained. This evaluation considers economic damages (such as medical expenses and lost wages) as well as non-economic damages (such as pain and suffering).
The duration of the initial investigation and consultation stage can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the availability of information. It typically takes a few weeks to a couple of months to complete this stage.
Stage 2: Preparing and Filing Legal Documents
Once the initial investigation is complete, the next stage involves preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate the lawsuit. This stage includes the following steps:
Drafting the Complaint
Your attorney will draft a complaint that outlines the facts of the case, the legal basis for your claim, and the relief you are seeking. The complaint is then filed with the appropriate court.
Filing the Lawsuit
After the complaint is drafted, your attorney will file it with the court and pay the associated filing fees. The court will then issue a summons, which is served to the defendant.
Serving the Defendant
The defendant must be formally notified of the lawsuit to ensure they have an opportunity to respond. Your attorney will arrange for the summons and complaint to be served on the defendant according to legal requirements.
Preparing the Answer
The defendant has a limited time to respond to the lawsuit by filing an answer. Your attorney will review the defendant’s response and assess the strengths and weaknesses of their defense.
Engaging in Discovery Process
The discovery process allows both parties to exchange information and evidence related to the case. This process can involve written interrogatories, document requests, depositions, and expert witness evaluations. Discovery can take several months, and the duration depends on the complexity of the case and the cooperation of the parties involved.
The duration of the second stage can stretch from several months to a year, depending on the court’s schedule and the pace of document exchange and discovery.
Stage 3: Negotiation and Settlement Attempts
If the parties involved are open to settlement negotiations, this stage will involve attempts to reach a fair resolution without going to trial. The negotiation and settlement process typically follows these steps:
Your attorney will prepare a demand letter that outlines your case, including liability, damages, and a specific settlement amount you are seeking. This letter is sent to the responsible party or their insurance company.
Insurance Company Response
The insurance company will review the demand letter and may accept, reject, or counteroffer. Negotiations will continue until both parties are satisfied with the terms or until it is determined that a settlement cannot be reached.
Negotiating Settlement Terms
Your attorney will engage in negotiations with the insurance company or defendant’s attorney to settle on agreeable terms. This process may involve back-and-forth discussions and adjustments to the settlement amount.
Mediation or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
If initial settlement negotiations prove unsuccessful, the parties may agree to participate in mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution. This involves a neutral third party facilitating negotiations between the parties in an attempt to reach a settlement.
The duration of the negotiation and settlement attempts stage can vary widely and is largely dependent on the willingness of the parties to compromise. Some cases may be resolved within a few weeks, while others may take several months or longer.
Stage 4: Court Trial Proceedings
If a settlement cannot be reached through negotiations, the case may proceed to trial. This stage involves several important steps:
Both parties, with the guidance of their attorneys, will participate in the process of selecting a jury. This involves questioning potential jurors to identify biases or conflicts of interest that could impact their ability to render a fair verdict.
Each party’s attorney will make an opening statement, outlining their case and the evidence they plan to present. This statement serves to provide the jury with an overview of the arguments and issues in the case.
Presentation of Evidence
During the trial, each party will present their evidence, which may include witness testimonies, expert opinions, medical records, accident reconstructions, and other relevant documentation. The presentation of evidence can be time-consuming, especially in complex cases.
Expert Witness Testimony
If expert witnesses are involved, they will provide their specialized knowledge or opinions to assist the jury in understanding the technical aspects of the case. The duration of expert witness testimony can vary depending on the complexity of the issues involved.
After each witness testifies, the opposing party’s attorney has the opportunity to cross-examine them. Cross-examination aims to challenge the credibility and accuracy of the witness’s testimony and may introduce new evidence or highlight inconsistencies.
Attorneys for both parties will present closing arguments, summarizing the evidence presented and urging the jury to render a verdict in their client’s favor.
After closing arguments, the jury will retire to deliberate on a verdict. The duration of jury deliberation can vary greatly, depending on the complexity of the case and the number of issues to be resolved.
Once the jury reaches a verdict, it will be announced in court. The verdict may be in favor of the plaintiff, the defendant, or a combination of both, depending on the specific claims and counterclaims.
Court trial proceedings can be time-consuming and can last from a few days to several weeks, depending on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule.
Stage 5: Post-Trial and Appeals
Even after a verdict has been reached, the legal process may not be over. There are several post-trial and appeals steps that might follow:
After the verdict, either party may file post-trial motions requesting the court to reconsider certain decisions or to seek relief from the judgment. These motions can introduce further delays to the process.
If the plaintiff is awarded a monetary judgment, it may take time to collect the awarded amount. This can involve additional legal proceedings to enforce the judgment, such as garnishment of wages or seizing assets.
Appealing the Verdict
Either party may choose to appeal the verdict if they believe there are grounds for appeal. The appeals process involves presenting legal arguments to a higher court, seeking to overturn or modify the lower court’s decision.
Appellate Court Process
The appellate court process can take several months or even years, depending on the complexity of the issues and the court’s schedule. The timeframe for reaching a final resolution through the appeals process can significantly extend the overall duration of the case.
Common Delays and Challenges in Car Accident Cases
While every car accident case is unique, some common delays and challenges can occur, prolonging the duration of the case:
Uncooperative Insurance Companies
Insurance companies may be uncooperative in processing claims, delaying the settlement process. They may dispute liability, undervalue damages, or engage in unreasonable negotiation tactics. It’s crucial to have an experienced attorney who can negotiate on your behalf and protect your rights.
Complex Legal and Medical Issues
Car accident cases involving complex legal and medical issues, such as multiple defendants, pre-existing conditions, or long-term disabilities, can take longer to resolve. These cases often require expert opinions, extensive investigations, and substantial documentation.
Delay in Gathering Evidence
Sometimes, gathering evidence can be time-consuming, especially when witnesses are difficult to locate, or crucial records are hard to obtain. Delays in obtaining evidence can significantly impact the progress of the case.
Overburdened Court System
The court system can experience delays due to a high volume of cases, especially in densely populated areas. Limited court resources and backlogs can cause significant delays in scheduling hearings, court appearances, and trial dates.
Unavailable Witnesses or Experts
If key witnesses or expert witnesses are unavailable during certain periods, it can delay the case. This can occur due to scheduling conflicts, uncooperative witnesses, or unavailability of experts with the necessary qualifications.
The Average Timeline for Settling a Car Accident Case
While it is challenging to provide an exact timeline for settling a car accident case, it is possible to provide a general overview based on industry knowledge and experience. The timeline can be broken down into the following stages:
Stage-by-Stage Duration Overview
- Initial Investigation and Consultation: Weeks to a few months.
- Preparing and Filing Legal Documents: Several months to a year.
- Negotiation and Settlement Attempts: Weeks to several months.
- Court Trial Proceedings: Several days to several weeks.
- Post-Trial and Appeals: Months to years.
It’s important to note that these durations are estimates and can vary significantly depending on the factors mentioned earlier.
Factors That Can Expedite or Prolong the Process
Several factors can expedite or prolong the duration of a car accident case:
- Highly cooperative insurance companies can expedite settlements.
- Accessible and credible evidence can streamline negotiations and trial preparations.
- Parties’ willingness to compromise can lead to faster settlements.
- Professional attorney and law firm resources can effectively manage the case.
- Efficient communication between parties can expedite the process.
On the other hand:
- Disputes over liability or the extent of damages can lengthen the process.
- Uncooperative insurance companies or defendants can introduce delays.
- Complex legal and medical issues can require additional time for research and analysis.
- Availability and scheduling conflicts of witnesses or experts can cause delays.
Statistics and Data on Average Settlement Timeframes
As an individual case can deviate significantly from the average, it is challenging to provide specific statistics on settlement timeframes. The duration of a car accident case can be affected by various unpredictable factors. The best way to determine the potential timeline for your specific case is to consult with an experienced car accident attorney who can assess the unique circumstances and provide an estimate based on their expertise.
FAQs About Settling Car Accident Cases with a Lawyer
Now, let’s address some frequently asked questions about settling car accident cases with the help of a lawyer:
1. How long does it typically take to settle a car accident case?
The duration of a car accident case can vary widely. Generally, cases can be resolved within a few months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case, the cooperation of the parties involved, and the court’s schedule.
2. What can I do to speed up the settlement process?
To help expedite the settlement process, you can make sure you have all the necessary documentation and evidence ready for your attorney. Promptly provide any requested information, communicate openly and clearly with your attorney, and be prepared for negotiations or court proceedings.
3. Can I still settle if the accident was partially my fault?
Yes, even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, it may still be possible to reach a settlement. The percentage of fault assigned to each party will impact the amount of compensation you can recover.
4. How much compensation can I expect from a car accident settlement?
The amount of compensation depends on various factors, such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Your attorney can assess your case and provide an estimate based on these factors.
5. Is it necessary to hire a lawyer for a car accident case?
While you can handle a car accident case on your own, having an experienced car accident attorney can significantly improve your chances of obtaining fair compensation. An attorney can navigate the complexities of the legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for your rights effectively.
Remember, these FAQs are general in nature, and it’s important to consult with an attorney who can provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.
In conclusion, settling a car accident case can be a lengthy process, impacted by various factors such as the severity of the accident, extent of injuries, disputed liability, and insurance company cooperation. The stages involved in the process, from initial investigation to negotiation, court trial proceedings, and potential appeals, can further contribute to the duration. By understanding these factors and having a knowledgeable attorney by your side, you can navigate the complexities of a car accident case with more confidence.

With our expertise in drafting prenuptial agreements, we can help you navigate through the process smoothly and ensure that your interests and assets are protected. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for more information and take the first step towards seeking the assistance you need.
Benefits of a Prenuptial Agreement
A prenuptial agreement, commonly known as a prenup, is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of each individual in a marriage. While it may not be the most romantic aspect of wedding planning, a prenup can provide valuable benefits and protections for both parties involved. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of a prenuptial agreement:
Protecting Individual Assets
One of the primary benefits of a prenuptial agreement is that it allows individuals to protect their individual assets. This can be especially important if one or both parties have significant assets or debts prior to the marriage. With a prenup in place, you can establish what assets will remain separate property and what will be considered marital property. By clearly outlining these distinctions, you can ensure that your assets are protected in the event of a divorce.
Clarifying Financial Expectations
Money matters can often be a source of conflict in a marriage. By creating a prenuptial agreement, you and your partner can have open and honest conversations about your financial expectations. A prenup allows you to address issues such as how you will handle joint bank accounts, how you will manage debts, and how you will divide expenses. This clarity can help set a solid foundation for your financial partnership and minimize future conflicts.
Protecting Business Interests
If you or your partner owns a business, a prenuptial agreement can be vital in protecting those business interests. Without a prenup, there is a risk that a divorce could result in the division of business assets or even the sale of the business itself. By including provisions in your prenup that specifically address the treatment of the business, you can safeguard its future and ensure that it remains intact.
Minimizing Conflict in Case of Divorce
Divorce proceedings can often become emotionally charged and contentious. A prenuptial agreement can help minimize this conflict by establishing clear guidelines for the division of property, assets, and debts. By having these agreements in writing, both parties can feel more secure and confident in the event of a divorce. This can lead to a smoother and less adversarial process, ultimately saving both time and money.
Avoiding Lengthy Legal Battles
In addition to minimizing conflict, a prenuptial agreement can also save you from lengthy and expensive legal battles. Without a prenup, disputes over the division of property and assets can drag on for months or even years in court. With a prenup in place, the terms of the agreement are already established, making the process more straightforward and efficient.
Understanding Prenuptial Agreements
Before deciding whether a prenuptial agreement is right for you, it’s important to have a clear understanding of what it entails. Let’s delve into some key aspects of prenuptial agreements:
Definition and Purpose
A prenuptial agreement is a legal contract entered into by a couple before they get married or enter into a civil partnership. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of each party in the event of a divorce or dissolution of the partnership. The primary purpose of a prenup is to provide clarity and protection for both individuals, ensuring that their assets, property, and other important considerations are addressed.
Legal Requirements in Syracuse, Utah
While prenuptial agreements can vary from state to state, it’s important to understand the legal requirements specific to Syracuse, Utah. Consulting with a qualified and experienced prenuptial agreement lawyer in Syracuse, Utah is essential to ensure that your agreement meets all the necessary legal criteria. Your lawyer can guide you through the process and ensure that your prenup is enforceable under local laws.
Enforceability of Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements are generally enforceable, provided that they meet certain legal requirements. In order for a prenup to be deemed valid and enforceable, it must be:
- In writing: Prenuptial agreements must be documented in writing to be legally binding.
- Voluntary: Both parties must enter into the agreement voluntarily and without coercion or undue influence.
- Full disclosure: Each party must fully disclose all assets, debts, and liabilities, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of the financial picture.
- Fair and reasonable: Prenups must be fair and reasonable at the time they are signed, taking into consideration the circumstances and financial standing of both parties.
To ensure that your prenuptial agreement is enforceable, it’s crucial to work with an experienced lawyer who can help you navigate the legal requirements and ensure that your rights are protected.
When Should You Consider a Prenuptial Agreement?
While prenuptial agreements can benefit a wide range of individuals, there are certain situations in which they are particularly valuable. If any of the following circumstances apply to you, it may be wise to consider a prenup:
High Net Worth Individuals
If you or your partner has a high net worth, a prenuptial agreement can provide essential protection for your assets. By clearly outlining the division of property and assets in the event of a divorce, you can safeguard your financial well-being and ensure that your hard-earned wealth is preserved.
For business owners, a prenuptial agreement is crucial in protecting your business interests. Without a prenup, there is a risk that a divorce could result in the division or sale of the business. By including provisions that specifically address the treatment of the business, you can ensure that it remains intact and continues to thrive, even in the event of a divorce.
Individuals with Children from Previous Relationships
If you or your partner has children from a previous relationship, a prenuptial agreement can provide peace of mind and protection for your children’s inheritance. By clearly outlining how assets will be divided and distributed, you can ensure that your children’s financial future is secure.
Individuals with Significant Debts
A prenuptial agreement can also be valuable for individuals with significant debts. By clearly defining each party’s responsibility for pre-existing debts and potential future debts, you can prevent one partner from being burdened with the other’s financial obligations in the event of a divorce.
Process of Creating a Prenuptial Agreement
Creating a prenuptial agreement involves several essential steps. Let’s walk through the process:
The first step in creating a prenuptial agreement is to schedule an initial consultation with a qualified prenup lawyer. During this consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your specific circumstances, concerns, and goals. Your lawyer will explain the legal requirements, answer any questions you may have, and guide you through the process.
Disclosure of Assets and Debts
Full disclosure of assets and debts is a critical component of creating a valid prenuptial agreement. Both parties must provide comprehensive documentation of their financial status, including bank statements, investment records, property deeds, and any other relevant information. This ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the financial picture and can make informed decisions.
Negotiation and Drafting
Once the necessary financial information has been disclosed, the negotiation and drafting of the prenuptial agreement can begin. This involves discussion and decision-making regarding various aspects of the agreement, such as the division of property, assets, and debts. Your lawyer will guide you through this process and ensure that your interests and objectives are represented.
Finalizing the Agreement
Once the terms of the prenuptial agreement have been negotiated and finalized, it’s important to ensure that the agreement is properly executed and signed by both parties. This typically requires the presence of witnesses and notarization to ensure the agreement’s validity.
Working with an experienced prenuptial agreement lawyer is crucial in navigating this process and ensuring that your agreement is comprehensive, enforceable, and tailored to your specific needs.
Choosing the Right Prenup Lawyer
Selecting the right prenup lawyer is an essential step in creating a successful prenuptial agreement. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when choosing a lawyer:
Experience and Expertise
Look for a lawyer who specializes in family law and has extensive experience in drafting prenuptial agreements. An experienced lawyer will have the knowledge and skills necessary to guide you through the process and ensure that your agreement is well-crafted and legally sound.
Local Knowledge of Syracuse, Utah Laws
It’s important to choose a lawyer who is familiar with the specific laws and regulations governing prenuptial agreements in Syracuse, Utah. Local knowledge can be invaluable in understanding the nuances of the legal system and ensuring that your agreement meets all necessary requirements.
Communication and Rapport
Effective communication and a good rapport with your lawyer are essential for a smooth and successful collaboration. Look for a lawyer who takes the time to understand your needs, listens to your concerns, and communicates clearly and effectively.
Affordability and Pricing
While the cost of legal services is an important consideration, it should not be the sole determining factor in choosing a prenup lawyer. Look for a lawyer who offers reasonable and transparent pricing, ensuring that you receive high-quality legal representation at a fair value.
Common Concerns Addressed in Prenuptial Agreements
Prenuptial agreements can address a wide range of common concerns that couples may have. Here are some key areas that are often covered in prenups:
Alimony and Spousal Support
A prenuptial agreement can establish provisions for alimony and spousal support in the event of a divorce. This can include the type and duration of support, as well as any other relevant considerations.
Division of Property and Assets
One of the primary purposes of a prenup is to outline how property and assets will be divided between the parties in the event of a divorce. This can include real estate, investments, vehicles, and other valuable assets.
Custody and Support of Children
If you have children from a previous relationship or are planning to have children in the future, a prenuptial agreement can address custody, visitation, and child support arrangements. While decisions regarding child custody are ultimately made based on the best interests of the child, a prenup can provide a framework to guide these discussions.
Inheritance and Estate Planning
A prenuptial agreement can also address inheritance and estate planning considerations. This can include provisions for the distribution of assets upon the death of one party, ensuring that the intended beneficiaries are protected.
The Role of Mediation in Prenup Agreements
Mediation can play a valuable role in the creation and resolution of prenuptial agreements. Let’s explore some key aspects of mediation:
Benefits of Mediation
Mediation offers several benefits for couples seeking to create a prenuptial agreement. It allows for open and constructive communication, facilitates compromise and negotiation, and promotes an amicable and collaborative resolution. Mediation can also be more cost-effective and time-efficient compared to litigation.
The mediation process typically involves the following steps:
- Initial meeting: The mediator meets with both parties to introduce the process and set goals.
- Information gathering: Each party has the opportunity to express their needs, concerns, and interests.
- Negotiation and drafting: The mediator facilitates discussions and helps the parties reach mutual agreements on the terms of the prenuptial agreement.
- Review and finalization: Once the terms are agreed upon, the mediator assists in finalizing the written agreement.
Selecting a Mediator
When selecting a mediator for your prenuptial agreement, look for someone who is impartial, neutral, and experienced in family law. It’s important to have a mediator who can help facilitate productive discussions and guide the parties towards mutually beneficial agreements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are prenuptial agreements only for the wealthy?
No, prenuptial agreements are not only for the wealthy. While high net worth individuals often utilize prenups to protect their assets, anyone can benefit from a prenuptial agreement. Whether you have substantial assets, children from a previous relationship, or significant debts, a prenup can provide valuable protection and peace of mind.
Can a prenuptial agreement be challenged in court?
Yes, a prenuptial agreement can be challenged in court under certain circumstances. Common grounds for challenging a prenup include:
- Lack of voluntary agreement: If one party can prove that they were forced or pressured into signing the agreement, it may be deemed invalid.
- Lack of full disclosure: If one party can show that the other failed to disclose certain assets or debts during the creation of the prenup, it may be challenged.
- Unconscionable provisions: If the terms of the prenup are considered grossly unfair or unreasonable at the time of enforcement, a court may set aside or modify the agreement.
To ensure the enforceability of your prenuptial agreement, it’s important to work with an experienced lawyer who can guide you through the process and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
What happens if we don’t have a prenuptial agreement?
If a couple does not have a prenuptial agreement in place, the division of property, assets, and debts will typically be determined by the laws of the state in which they reside. This is known as the default community property or equitable distribution system. Without a prenup, the court will rely on these laws to make decisions regarding the division of assets and property in the event of a divorce.
It’s important to note that without a prenup, the outcome may not align with your individual preferences or objectives. By creating a prenuptial agreement, you have the opportunity to customize the terms and protect your individual interests.
In conclusion, a prenuptial agreement can provide valuable benefits and protections for individuals entering into a marriage or civil partnership. From safeguarding individual assets to minimizing conflict in case of divorce, a prenup can offer peace of mind and security. By understanding the process, seeking knowledgeable legal guidance, and addressing common concerns, you can create a comprehensive and enforceable prenuptial agreement that meets your specific needs and circumstances. Don’t hesitate to consult with a reputable prenup lawyer in Syracuse, Utah to explore your options and take the necessary steps to protect your future.

The legal field is advancing faster than ever. It is no longer just a place where you go to have your documents written up, but it is becoming a place that uses technology to solve problems. This article will explore how technology is changing the face of law:
Virtual reality is an exciting new technology that has the potential to change the way we learn law. Say’s Jeremy Schulman, it can also be used to practice law and even conduct legal research.
Virtual reality allows users to experience a virtual world through their senses, such as sight, sound and touch. In other words, it’s like being there! For example: if you were trying out for America’s Got Talent by singing karaoke in front of judges Nick Cannon and Howie Mandel (which would probably not end well), you could use VR goggles that let you see what they see while wearing them; hear their comments; smell whatever they smell–maybe tacos?–and feel what they feel when they give or don’t give their approval.*
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a computer system that is capable of learning from experience and developing its own way of solving problems. AI has been used in law for decades, but it’s only recently that we’ve seen it become more prevalent.
AI can be used to predict the outcome of court cases or legal disputes by analyzing large amounts of data about past cases, including facts about the parties involved, details about how they behaved during litigation and other factors like location or weather conditions on the day in question. This information is fed into an algorithm that analyzes patterns within this data set to determine whether similar situations resulted in similar outcomes (or vice versa).
The advent of online collaboration tools will allow law firms to work more efficiently.
Online collaboration tools will reduce the need for lawyers to travel to clients’ offices, which in turn will make it easier for law firms to hire more lawyers and expand their practices, thereby increasing their revenue streams.
The legal field is becoming more technology focused.
As technology becomes more and more advanced, it is no wonder that the legal field is becoming more technology focused. The benefits of using technology in this area are endless, but here are some examples:
- Efficiency: Lawyers can save time by doing research online, rather than going through stacks of paper documents or microfiche at the courthouse. This saves them time so that they can focus on other tasks such as meeting with clients who need help or preparing for court appearances.
- Accessibility: With all of these resources available online, anyone with an internet connection can easily access them regardless of where they live or whether there is any other legal support nearby (e.g., if someone needs help with their divorce paperwork but has moved away from where they lived when getting married).
As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, the legal field is becoming more and more technology focused. Lawyers must embrace this change in order to stay competitive in today’s marketplace.

Scholar Showcase: A Special Look at the Event Where Student Scholars Shine
Scholar Showcase is one of our favorite traditions, where future students (like you!) compete for Jessup’s most distinguished achievement awards. These include the prestigious William Jessup Scholar Award and the Program Scholar Awards. Applications for Scholar Showcase are being accepted through December 1, 2022. The two-day event will take place on February 2-3, 2023.
What is the event like?
Scholar Showcase consists of two parts: the application process and two days of events. Besides financial support, a key benefit of participating in this tradition is that candidates get the chance to meet staff and make friends before they even start college. It’s also a great opportunity to preview Jessup and feel known and celebrated by this community.
First, you’ll apply for one or both scholarships with a thoughtful, well-written essay and letter of recommendation. This is a great opportunity to share what you’re all about! After reviewing essays, our committee then selects finalists to participate in this two-day event’s schedule of activities.
Throughout Thursday and Friday, a panel of staff and faculty interviews candidates for the William Jessup Scholar Award. Program Scholar Award interviews usually include one or two faculty members. You’ll want to dress up in your sharpest business attire, but remember—Jessup faculty are friendly and eager to get to know you and what you’re passionate about.
“My favorite event was the interview itself,” shared Alexandra Berkery, an English major who was awarded a Program Scholar Award in 2022. “The professor wanted to get to know me as a person and made me feel comfortable answering questions with honesty. I didn’t have to pretend to be someone I wasn’t.”
Thursday evening features a semi-formal banquet with a photo-worthy red carpet. It’s a fun night to relax and get to know staff and faculty while enjoying a meal together. Then, you’ll hear from President John Jackson and past award recipients. Many students make friends during this night who stick with them throughout their college experience.
“My favorite moment from last year would have to be the banquet,” said Cori McGrew, Communications Coordinator for Enrollment. “It’s an honor to celebrate these amazing students, and I love that their parents or guardians are with them.”
On Friday, students attend a campus tour, chapel service, and lunch.
Ways students can prepare
There are many ways to prepare for a fun and successful experience at Scholar Showcase.
First, take a deep breath. Find an awesome outfit you feel comfortable and confident in. Learn all about your program. Revisit your essay content before the interviews and practice answering a few interview questions about yourself and your goals. Consider why you chose your major and how you might use it to make a difference for Jesus.
“The faculty members who interview you want to hear what makes you you. Not a rehearsed speech,” said 2018 William Jessup Scholar Award recipient, Matthew Todd. “Spend time reflecting on who you look up to, what motivates you, and what areas you need improvement in. Don’t let anxiety keep you from enjoying the celebration of all you accomplished up to this point—which is why you made it to Scholar Showcase in the first place!”
Remember that this event is not a test but rather a chance for you to share who you are.
“One of the most invaluable parts of Scholar Showcase was the connections I made, not only with top faculty, but also with other prospective students,” said Matthew. “I was amazed that professors knew my name before I came. Thinking back to that night at the banquet, I was seated next to both a student who would become one of my closest friends and a professor who would become one of my mentors—who later wrote me a letter of recommendation that helped me get into the professional school of my choice.”
A welcoming campus
Our student scholars find Jessup to be a welcoming school that is kind and respectful to all people, no matter their backgrounds or personal beliefs. We love offering scholarship opportunities wherever we can. There are some truly incredible students in our community, and it’s a true joy to celebrate these stand-out achievers. We believe God has called them here to make an impact, and we count it a privilege to walk alongside them.
“Through my experience, I learned that God will place you exactly where you need to be,” said Nehemiah Howard, 2022 William Jessup Scholar Award recipient. “I, like many high school seniors, applied to a number of different universities. But in the end, the William Jessup Scholar Award was a sign from God that Jessup was the place for me.”

VICENZAORO outlines jewellery initiatives for 2013
VICENZA, Italy, January 21, 2013 – VICENZAORO has outlined a packed programme of industry initiatives and projects for 2013, including plans for the luxury About J selling event in Venice in September, and a revamped website for the trade fair.
As the VICENZAORO Winter trade fair kicked off, Roberto Ditri, President of the Vicenza Fair, announced plans to hold the About J trade event, which has featured annually in recent years and brings top brands face-to-face with an elite group of international jewellery buyers.
About J will take place in Venice from 4-6 September, 2013, and will proceed into the autumn edition of VICENZAORO . About J was staged in the chic ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo in northern Italy last year and reported strong orders.
Ditri also announced plans for a new Boutique Show format at VICENZAORO in 2014. He said details would be made public later this week.
Trendvision, a unit of VICENZAORO which forecasts global jewellery design trends, will be showcased at the Hong Kong jewellery fair in March, 2013, Ditri said.
VICENZAORO will host the second edition of the Andrea Palladio International Jewellery Awards later in the year, highlighting the talents of some of the world’s most innovative jewellery designers.
Vicenza will host a new jewellery museum (Il Museo del Gioiello), possibly from September, 2013, which Ditri said would be a dynamic exhibition of jewellery creations.
“The museum aims to be a place to remember not only the beauty of these marvellous items, but also the passion, skill and work of those who produced them,” Ditri said.
VICENZAORO has launched a new website www.vicenzaoro.com which will upgrade online coverage of the trade events.

Arguments against raising the minimum wage, based purely on economic factors, ignore the reality that economies cannot exist in the absence of humanity. And humanity cannot exist in the absence of morality. Even arguing strictly on economic factors, opponents of increasing the minimum wage tend to state as fact issues that are subject to debate and evidentiary challenge.
For example, the argument that increasing the minimum wage leads to significant loss of employment has been shown to be specious. A 2013 study authored by John Schmitt for the Center for Economic and Policy Research (Why Does the Minimum Wage Have No Discernible Effect on Employment?) summarizes a review of research data by saying:
The weight of that evidence points to little or no employment response to modest increases in the minimum wage. The report reviews evidence on eleven possible adjustments to minimum-wage increases that may help to explain why the measured employment effects are so consistently small. The strongest evidence suggests that the most important channels of adjustment are: reductions in labor turnover; improvements in organizational efficiency; reductions in wages of higher earners (“wage compression”); and small price increases. Given the relatively small cost to employers of modest increases in the minimum wage, these adjustment mechanisms appear to be more than sufficient to avoid employment losses, even for employers with a large share of low-wage workers.
Arguments suggesting that industries like fast-food cannot afford to pay higher wages because their margins are so low are subject to dispute. Aside from whether profits are sufficient to sustain higher wages in the fast food industry, though, a 2013 study by the University of Illinois and UC Berkeley Labor Center (The Public Cost of Low-Wage Jobs
in the Fast-Food Industry) reported that taxpayers pay about $243 billion each year in indirect subsidies to the fast food industry because the industry pays wages so low that taxpayers must put up $243 billion to pay for public benefits for the industry’s workers. So, in effect, taxpayers are subsidizing the fast food industry’s unwillingness to pay a living wage to its workers. But back to their profits. McDonald’s profit margin in 2012 was almost twenty percent, whereas the industry average that year was just 2.4 percent, according to Capital IQ. McDonald’s significant profits, opponents to a minimum wage increase point out, do not translate into big profits for the franchise owners. Those folks, the opponents would suggest, are barely scraping by. Frankly, I do not buy that, inasmuch as (as I understand it) getting a McDonald’s franchise is not easy and is very expensive; franchisees are not living lives of abject poverty, as I see it. Even if their profits were extremely low, their parent company’s were not; so, if McDonald’s and its shareholders would simply allows its franchisees to absorb a meager $2.25 billion of the parent’s $5.5 billion in profits, franchisees would have ample money to pay a living wage.
A separate study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (The Minimum Wage is Too Damn Low) says:
Between the end of World War II and 1968, the minimum wage tracked average productivity growth fairly closely. Since 1968,however, productivity growth has far outpaced the minimum wage. If the minimum wage had continued to move with average productivity after 1968, it would have reached $21.72 per hour in 2012–a rate well above the average production worker wage.
If the rapidly growing wealth of the richest of the rich in this country has to be taken without their consent to achieve some degree of reason and balance, then so be it.
In examining the arguments for and against raising the minimum wage, I find myself–as usual–more apt to accept those in favor than those opposed. However, I think it’s reasonable to assume the vehement arguments on both sides of the issue contain more than a bit of overblown hyperbole. Clearly, though, reins must be placed on the accelerating growth in the enormous wealth of people who already own the vast majority of wealth in this country. I don’t pretend to know exactly what mechanism those reins should take, only that it must be done. The greed that drives the engines of wealth at the expense of the majority of other people is symptomatic of values gone badly astray. At the other end of the spectrum, though, attacking wealth and the people who accumulate it as the embodiment of evil should look at their own behavior and their own circumstances; how do they compare to people whose wealth is a fraction of their own? Are they willing to drastically reduce their own standards of living to allow others less fortunate to achieve parity with them?
As I read back over what I have written, it is evident that dispassionate discussions about the issue of raising the minimum wage will be hard to come by. Even in my attempt to be even-handed in my assessment of the issue in yesterday’s and today’s posts, I quickly see that my biases and my tendency to judge quickly rose to the surface. Cooler heads than mine must prevail in this conversation.
That having been said, I believe these words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, from his statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act, made on June 16, 1933, should always guide our philosophy on the matter of employment:
In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By “business” I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level–I mean the wages of decent living.

Natsuko Tora vs. Starlight Kid vs. AZM
A fun opener from three of Stardom’s brightest stars of the future. It was fast-paced, well executed and only had a couple of minor mistakes. AZM pinned Starlight Kid for the win. 2.5/5
Shiki Shibusawa & Konami vs. Xia Brookside & Mandy Leon
A very simple but okay match. Xia has improved rapidly since the beginning of her Stardom tour and looked fine throughout this match. Mandy Leon really didn’t do too much in this match other than a cannonball off the apron near the end. Konami also wasn’t involved much. Shiki Shibusawa has been steadily improving but her selling was particularly bad during this match, reacting awkwardly during several hits. Xia Brookside pinned Shiki Shibusawa for the win. 2/5
Hiromi Mimura vs Mari Apache (High-Speed Title)
I really enjoyed this. Hiromi has deserved a title shot based on her work over the past few months and putting her against someone with the skill and experience of Mari Apache resulted in a great match. Hiromi was the underdog throughout and survived the Mexican surfboard and a brutal clothesline. She got in some nice offense of her own as she reversed a bodyslam into a nice DDT. Though Mari Apache hit a Michinoku Driver & senton atomico for the win. 3.75/5
Jungle Kyona vs. Yoko Bito (Wonder of Stardom Title)
This was hard-hitting throughout and a good flow though I think both are capable of a little more. I loved Jungle Kyona’s powerbomb and as usual some of Bito’s kicks were breathtaking. As a title match I would have liked to have seen something new and different from both of these though. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good match, it just never developed into anything more. Yoko Bito pinned Jungle Kyona after a second B-Driver. 3.75/5
Oedo Tai (Kagetsu, Kris Wolf & Tam Nakano) vs. Queen’s Quest (Io Shirai, HZK & Viper) (Artist of Stardom Titles)
During Oedo Tai’s dance before the match there was a good amount of pyro which was really cool to see (and something WWE doesn’t even do anymore). Oedo Tai again started this match by handcuffing Viper to the ring post. Tam Nakano threw HZK directly into the crowd and Kagetsu hanged Io by her neck using a jacket. The rest of the match was little less crazy but also really fun. Viper was eventually freed after Io put an end to Oedo Tai playing with the keys by moonsaulting off the ropes to the outside. There was a very nice section with Kris Wolf & Io Shirai fighting one-on-one with Kris walking the ropes nicely and Io showing her acrobat skills countering Kris’s attempts at takedowns. HZK & Tam Nakano also had a great sequence together before Queens’s Quest isolated Kagetsu and each performed their top rope move on her before Viper covered her for the win. 4/5
Toni Storm vs. Mayu Iwatani (World of Stardom Title)
This was incredibly upsetting to watch. For those that do not know about two minutes into this match while attempting a dropkick Mayu Iwatani fell awkwardly onto her arm and dislocated her elbow. The video footage is incredibly graphic and the sounds of Mayu in pain is heartbreaking. However, credit must go to the referee for very quickly stopping the match and the entire Stardom roster for supporting Mayu and carrying her out of the venue where she was taken to hospital via an ambulance. Special mention must also go to Toni Storm who in very difficult circumstances held it together to deliver a speech thanking the crowd and immediately stating that she wants a rematch.
After Toni’s speech Fuka invited everyone into the ring to do the traditional Stardom end-of-show farewell. Fuka delivered a nice speech before Jungle Kyona said a few words that both respected Mayu and lightened the mood a little. In spite of all the tragedy it was truly nice to see all the Stardom family come together and support each other. Hopefully Mayu will be able to return as quickly as possible (the estimate is 3-6 months) and I’m sure her return show will be special.
Due to an injury stoppage so early in the match no score will be given.

Shortened hospital length of stay and lower costs associated with rivaroxaban in patients with pulmonary embolism managed as observation status.
Int J Clin Pract. 2017 Jan;71(1):
Authors: Weeda ER, Peacock WF, Fermann GJ, Baugh CW, Wells PS, Ashton V, Crivera C, Wildgoose P, Schein JR, Coleman CI
BACKGROUND: Unlike rivaroxaban, treatment of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) with warfarin requires parenteral bridging and coagulation monitoring that may prolong length-of-stay (LOS) and increase hospital costs.
AIMS: The aim of this study was to compare LOS, hospital costs and readmissions in PE patients managed through observation stays treated with rivaroxaban or parenterally bridged warfarin.
METHODS: Premier Hospital claims data from November 2012 to March 2015 were used to identify patients with a primary diagnosis code for PE managed through an observation stay and with ≥1 claim for a PE-related diagnostic test on day 0-2. Rivaroxaban users, allowing ≤2 days of prior parenteral therapy, were 1:1 propensity-score matched to patients receiving parenterally bridged warfarin. LOS, the proportion of encounters lasting >2 midnights, total hospital costs of the index visit and risk of readmission for venous thromboembolism (VTE) or major bleeding during the same month or 2 months subsequent to the index event were compared between matched cohorts using multivariable regression.
RESULTS: A total of 312 rivaroxaban users were matched to 312 patients receiving parenterally bridged warfarin. Rivaroxaban was associated with an average of 0.27-day shorter LOS, a 52% decreased odds of an encounter lasting >2 midnights and a $403 mean reduction in costs vs parenterally bridged warfarin (P≤.002 for all). The readmission rate for VTE during the same or subsequent 2 months following the index PE was similar between cohorts (P=.75). No patient in either cohort was readmitted for major bleeding.
CONCLUSION: Rivaroxaban was associated with shortened LOS and lowered cost vs parenterally bridged warfarin in PE observation stay patients, without increases in the short-term rate of complications or readmission.

|Divine Light – an original composition by Peggy Duquesnel…..
Presenting two pianos, two styles of playing coming together
in harmony to create passionate, imaginative, reflective musical
moments. Peggy and Steve Hall combine their musical gifts to
create a very special arrangement of this enduring melody…..
Holy, Holy, Holy – a most unique arrangement by Peggy Duquesnel that is sure to become a classic! Peggy incorporates an excerpt from Chopin’s magnificent
(Opus 48 number 1) at the beginning of this beloved hymn.
The theme continues to build until the gradual climax of the last verse, interweaving Chopin’s beautiful style along the way.
The four verses of Holy, Holy, Holy are printed on the back of the sheet music for easy reference.

If you’re standing anywhere near the marketing industry, you know that the term “influencer” is the hottest thing since sliced bread. It’s the buzzword of all buzzwords. It’s the king of the jungle. It’s…well, you get it, it’s everywhere.
The word influencer might be a bit overused, but it’s got everybody’s attention. And that’s because it describes one of the most valuable strategies that you can have when building your brand in this connected world we live in.
So let’s back up a second.
In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, the term “influencer” is used to describe someone on the Internet that has influence on an audience. Basically they have a significant amount of people that follow them somewhat regularly. For instance, celebrities are the most well known and widely used influencers. But they are reserved for the brands that can afford to pay them. The more valuable influencers – and more importantly, affordable – are the thousands, and even millions of people who have a small to medium size following on The Internet.
The reason they’re called influencers, is because if you can get them to mention a particular product or service to their audience, there’s a good chance that they will influence a large portion of their audience will buy into that idea.
Now the idea isn’t anything new. We seen it for decades with movie stars, musicians, athletes and anyone who holds the public’s attention. They endorse a product, and the public buys it. Why? Because we look up to them. We trust them to make decisions on what we should do and wear, so that we don’t have to.
The only difference nowadays is that the Internet has allowed anyone to become a celebrity. So now we have thousands of people that the public looks up to and pays attention to for advice and how they should live. A popular YouTuber could be a young girl who gives make up tutorials and has the attention of millions of other young girls across the world. If she were to endorse a product, you bet your top dollar that the product is going to sell to a good portion of her audience. Why? Because if it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for her fans.
Why it works
This strategy works, it’s in the numbers. It’s no secret anymore and many brands are doing it. But there still a huge opportunity that everyone is missing. We’re all so busy looking at the biggest influencers, that we forget about the micro-influencers. We forget how much it matters to have somebody notice us and ask us for our expert opinion, or to use our talents to show the world great things. We forget that Susie, who is 17 years old, as 2000 Instagram followers, and wants to be a singer, is trying to get herself noticed. And if she’s contacted by a person or a brand giving her props on her chops(singing skills), that she will be pumped for the opportunity to engage with them. And Susie will be more than willing to get a free product from you and tell every single one of her friends how awesome it is, just to get a quick shout out from you.
Heck we could even go smaller. Joe could be a 31-year-old construction worker who posts crazy worksite photos and videos and has 800 people following him on Instagram. If you’re in the construction products business, give him a shout out and figure out some sort of collaboration you too can do together. You get a shout out to an audience of potential new customers, and Joe has fun with a brand that he might start buying from in the future. It’s a win-win.
Make it happen
The opportunities are endless, and are only restricted by your marketing team’s level of creativity. There’s a good reason that the term “influencers” is so hot right now, it’s an effective marketing strategy, but you need to realize that everyone’s an influencer.” Almost everyone has a circle of friends following them that are influenced by their posts comments and shares. If you’re witty and creative enough, your brand can be part of that conversation.

Hello to all,
A lot of delay this month because the season started quickly. Knowing that from July to December 2010, we have the high tourist season in all French Polynesia.
Also, I am finalizing my first report on the Rangiroa dolphin group entitled :
Census, photo-identification and behavioral study on the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) population of Rangiroa atoll (French Polynesia) from February 2008 to February 2009.
I will be able to put it online soon but I need to get the agreement of my employer and all those who helped me.
It took a long time to write it because I am busy during the day with my work and alone to do it (a Canadian friend is joining me in September 2009).
Last thing, I meet a lot of marine animals in the sea and not only cetaceans. I had the chance to swim with a manta ray that came to meet me. While freediving, by approaching slowly, I was able to touch it. She was a few centimeters away from me. She was not afraid. I was never in favor of a direct contact with wild animals but it was tempting!
Thank you very much. Sincerely.
Rangiroa - French Polynesia - July 2009.
