Sony can do no wrong in the United States it seems, as the PlayStation 4 was once again the best selling system in the all-important nation during July. Despite a lack of new releases, the continued popularity of the Japanese giant's exclusive Batman: Arkham Knight bundle pushed the organisation's box out in front – a spot that it's occupied three months in a row now.
"We are truly humbled by the success of the PS4, and we would like to thank gamers for making it the top-selling console and number one in software sales in the United States in July," a spokesperson told Games Beat. "We are looking forward to delighting fans next month with the launch of the Limited Edition Destiny: The Taken King PS4 bundle on 15th September."
While it was a particularly pleasant month for PlayStation, the industry as a whole fared just fine. Total physical spend reached $541.9 million, up six per cent year-over-year. This wasn't down to the release of new software, however. "[The growth was] driven by modest hardware growth and double-digital accessory growth as software sales remained flat," said NPD analyst Liam Callahan.
LEGO Jurassic World topped the charts, as part of a double-header for Warner Bros. Naturally, the brilliant Batman: Arkham Knight finished in second, while Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V fleshed out the top four. Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was the best selling new game in July, exceeding the launch numbers of its predecessor by a whopping 70 per cent. That's despite mixed reviews, too.
The one thing that the software chart doesn't take into account is bundle sales, so it's likely that Rocksteady's sequel was actually the best selling game when you consider the aforementioned PS4 packages, but obviously we can't say that for certain without access to the actual numbers.
Still, we reckon that the August results are going to be tough to call. With some moderately sized Xbox One exclusives on the agenda this month and shoppers waiting for that abovementioned Destiny set, we suspect that things could be closer. With bundles proving so popular at the moment, though, Sony will be pretty excited about those Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Star Wars: Battlefront packages that it inevitably has waiting in the wings.

Introduction A functional immune system is dependent on the maintenance of gene expression and transcription factors play critical roles in regulating gene expression at specific stages of development. The Ikaros transcription factor family is one such family whose expression is indispensable for immune system development and function. A targeted mutation of the DNA binding domain of Ikaros ((unpublished) and that Helios can be expressed by purchase MEK162 both Th2 cells and TFH cells (27). These latter studies raised the possibility that our previous failure to observe a phenotype in mice with a T cell-specific deletion of Helios (Heliosfl/fl x CD4Cre) may have been masked by deletion of Helios in both Treg and conventional CD4 T cells (Tconv). To definitively examine the function of Helios in Treg cells, we have now generated mice with a Treg specific deletion of Helios by crossing Heliosfl/fl mice to Foxp3YFP-Cre mice. These mice initially developed normally, but with increasing age exhibited splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and lymphocytic infiltrates in non-lymphoid tissues, particularly the salivary glands and liver. Most notably, Tconv cells in Heliosfl/fl x Foxp3YFP-Cre mice displayed an activated, Th1-phenotype, had lymphoid follicular hyperplasia, increased numbers of germinal centers, purchase MEK162 and increased serum Ig levels secondary to the failure of TFR cell function. Helios deficient Treg suppressor function was normal as was their capacity to inhibit the induction of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (Helios) on a C57BL/6 background were generated by Ozgene (Bently Dc, Australia) (8). mice were bred to mice expressing Cre recombinase under the control of the Foxp3 promoter (Foxp3-YFP Cre) (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) to generate Treg specific Helios deficient mice. B6.SJL and B6.SJL RAG?/? mice (expressing the CD45.1 congenic marker) were obtained from the Country wide Institute of Allergy and Infectious Illnesses (NAID) and had been taken care of by Taconic Farms (Germantown, NY) under agreement by NIAID.

Top 5 Reasons Why Students Need Self Storage
- November 4, 2014
- •
- Posted in : Student Storage
Once you've left home and started your student life, it's likely that you'll be staying in accommodation that's much smaller than your family home or that you are in shared accommodation with other students. As a solution to storage problems, many students now opt to use a self storage company as a way of keeping their personal possessions safe, secure and out of the way. Although there can be many reasons why they choose to do this, here are the top five reasons why students choose to use storage once they are at college or university.
1. Lack of storage space
One of the biggest problems that students face is a lack of space. If you're in shared accommodation, then you'll probably have to share many aspects of the house and this may include cupboards and shelving. Even if you have your own accommodation, you may find that there's less space than you'd expected or are used to. This means you need to either be really creative in how you use the space available to you or you need to consider other options. One option is to use self storage to keep anything that you do not use on a daily basis or any items that are valuable and you need to keep safe.
2. Storing outdoor and sports equipment
The social life and getting involved in extracurricular activities is an important aspect of the student experience. There are often clubs, teams and groups for students to get involved with, and sports and outdoor pursuits are often a popular choice. However, many of these activities need equipment and this poses an additional storage problem for those who already have limited space available to them. Self storage can be a great way of resolving this issue. All your equipment can be stored nearby and you can access it whenever you like, without it taking up space in your accommodation and getting in the way.
3. Visits home and holidays
Very few students live in their accommodation for 52 weeks of the year. Most will go on holiday or make trips home to see their family, or even stay with their parents for the whole summer. Using self storage can be useful for several reasons if you are not in the accommodation throughout the year. Firstly, you do not know who will have access to your possessions if you leave them in your accommodation while you are away. This is especially the case if you're living in shared accommodation and your housemates invite friends around regularly.
Secondly, it is a good way of storing items you will not be taking home with you but will get in the way of your housemates if you leave them at the accommodation. Finally, it is difficult to pack everything up and carry all your things backwards and forwards whenever you travel home or go on holiday. Storage is a much more convenient option for anything you do not need during this time.
4. Bike and vehicle storage
If you're a student lucky enough to have a car, you may not be so lucky in the parking stakes. Some accommodation has limited parking and some have none at all. Students then face a choice of parking the vehicle on the street or on a nearby car park. Both options may leave the car at risk and could cost money. Similarly, if you have a bicycle and you do not have room to store it at your accommodation and there is nothing to chain it to outside, then you are faced with a similar predicament. The perfect solution to this problem is to rent a self storage unit nearby to keep your bike, moped or car safe when you are not using it.
5. Cost-effective storage solution
Money is a major worry to most students and most do not have a lot to spare. This is why many students choose to use self storage as other options may cost more money. For example, if you pay to park a vehicle regularly or you use other storage facilities for your things while you are away, then you are likely to spend significantly more than student storage will cost. To prove a point, we will store your things for only £1 per box per week!

Teresa first blasted Melissa And brother Joe Gorga In November 2022 interview Former Bravo producer Carlos KingShe said she hadn't seen the series, calling it an ad. "blessing in disguise" because it would have made Joe's relationship worse. Melissa.
Melissa Teresa and her family have been involved in an ugly feud ever since Teresa was hurt during filming season 13. Melissa and Joe skipping Teresa's wedding to her now-husband, Luis Ruelas.
Teresa ended up watching some episodes again and called it the best experience of her life. "devastating and "heart wrenching" As she had seen many past comments, Melissa Joe and she had spoken about them.
"I'm watching everything that my brother and Melissa said about me," Teresa said. "It's the worst. Like, I can't even believe my brother and Melissa would say things like that about me."
Melissa Is calling her bluff.
"I don't believe that Teresa never watched the show," She stated this on her December 2022 podcast episode. Melissa Gorga on Display, Via Heavy. Why is this? The cast has been required to write weekly blogs reacting to the prior week's RHONJ Episodes since 2004.
"We would have to recap the whole entire episode, word for word," Melissa continued. "She [Teresa] recapped everything. I don't know who was writing her blogs, then, if she never watched any of the episodes – it makes zero sense."
Melissa Also, Teresa was accused "digging" To keep the conversation going, we must revisit old topics. "I hate Melissa" storyline.
"You're digging, reaching for anything, because you have nothing to be mad at," The "On Display" singer claimed. "I would respect [her] more saying, 'Listen, I just don't want you in my life.

Margaret JosephsWho was there? Melissa Listen to the podcast and agree with Melissa's assessment.

You can do it either way. Melissa a statement that she was "done" Teresa
"I got off the roller coaster," Melissa Submitted PEOPLE. "I don't want to be on it anymore."

Pittsburg State simulation hospital provides realistic setting for learning
The ribbon cutting of the new $8 million simulation hospital at Pittsburg State University on Thursday formally marked the beginning of a new era of nursing for students in the Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing, providing them a more realistic setting in which to learn.
They'll be using the most technologically advanced simulated patients on the market, manufactured by Gaumard.
"We've all had tears when we walked in that door and we think about what our students will have to learn in, and our faculty will have to teach in," said Ashleigh Heter (BSN '09, MSN '12), who coordinates the BSN program for juniors and seniors.
It comes at the perfect time: nurses are in high demand. Current data shows a nursing workforce crisis in Kansas and nationally: 275,000 more nurses will be needed nationally by 2030, and in Kansas, it's projected there will be more than 53,000 nurse openings through 2026 (CNA, RN, and Home Health Aid).
McPherson Hall was built in 1977 to accommodate 60 students; in recent years, the nursing school has had cohorts of 90 students. The new addition will allow for cohorts of 120.
A transformative space
The simulation hospital was built by McCownGordon and funded by private gifts initiated by donors after they learned of the need.
The project includes a 10,000-square foot addition to McPherson Hall, and renovations of approximately 14,000 existing square feet.
The building includes simulated hospital rooms, associated control and preparation rooms, debriefing rooms, a waiting area, and a nurse's station.
The classrooms are flexible spaces outfitted with large monitors so students can see presentations no matter where they're seated.
Carpeting throughout, and into McPherson Hall, lessens noise.
Large glass windows allow for natural light. Ultimately, though, it's not about the building — it's what they will learn.
Vice President for University Advancement Kathleen Flannery, also the president of the PSU Foundation, noted that as with all buildings on campus, "it is the learning that happens within these walls that is transformative."
Mastering skills
Cheryl Giefer (BSN '78, FNP '96), director of the nursing school, said studies show hi-fidelity patient simulators in realistic situations equip nursing students with skills equal to a clinical setting; they also are able to repeat skills as many times as necessary to master them.
"This simulation hospital and its state-of-the-art environment is essential in developing competent, registered nurses," Giefer said. "They'll face these situations in their first year of nursing, and now they'll be ready."
Faculty are able to evaluate every student on an equal basis — it isn't dependent on what patients they see on a given day in a clinical setting.
Heter said the purpose of the addition is to give graduates a realistic setting in which to practice skills — and make mistakes — before they begin their careers.
"When they actually do get out into a hospital, they'll have had experiences that they can draw from," Heter said.
Building confidence
Hi-fidelity simulated patients include a pediatric mannequin that can cough, move, and present symptoms; an adult patient that can have conversations; and a birthing simulator complete with mixed reality goggles to see what's happening inside the patient — including uterine contractions.
"We're in a rural community, so some of our graduates will go on to work in small medical centers where there may not be a doctor, and they need to be somewhat knowledgeable about precipitous delivery," Heter said.
Because simulated patients are used, students are able to make mistakes that won't harm a patient and can learn from those mistakes.
"I'm looking forward to using this new space," said Senior Alyssa O'Hare, of Kansas City. "It will be a great home — we can study here, practice here, do simulations here."
Senior Zackary Goswick, of Webb City, Missouri, said the simulation hospital will give students "as close to the real environment as we can get."
Senior Olivia Chase, of Louisburg, Kansas, said she believes it will take their skills to the next level.
"It's going to help us feel a lot more confident by the time we graduate," she said. "It gets me really excited for senior year, and for all those who come after us."
Making a difference
Pitt State President Dan Shipp said the simulation hospital aligns perfectly with the university's mission.
"This is about making lives better through education," President Dan Shipp. "It's pretty simple, but so important to our communities. That's what this is all about. The quality of education – those skills and tools that all of you will leave here with to go out and make life better in our communities.
Special guests at the ceremony included members of the Kansas Board of Regents, the Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce, the Foundation trustees, and donors.
About the School of Nursing
Today's students can select programs such as the BSN (Pre-licensure), RN to BSN, MSN (Education Emphasis), MSN to DNP, and the BSN to DNP.
The baccalaureate degree program in Nursing, master's degree program in Nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The bachelor's of science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs are approved by the Kansas State Board of Nursing.

Written on my Shuswap Road studio's wall were the words "Life only demands from you the strength you possess. Only one feat is possible - not to have run away." These words, spoken by Dag Hammarskjold, winner of the 1961 Peace Prize, helped me through the numbing intensity of my mother's illness. My mother, a beautiful, courageous and vivacious woman was diagnosed with the insidious brain disease, Alzheimer's in June of 2003. During the time of overseeing her care, I kept a journal. In the journal I wrote the following words :
I was terrified to hear the diagnosis of Alzheimer's for my Mother. I could accept Vascular Dementia. It was like treading in Jell-O while at the same time watching my Mother sink in quicksand and hope like mad that she did not move, for if she did she would be sucked further under and I would loose her. She would suffocate. Yet it was me who was suffocating. Not breathing. It was me who was not moving, who was hurting. Now I understand that it is okay to face that word, Alzheimer's... and Mother will be fine. She is gently fading away. The tiny pixels turn out their lights one by one. The pixels become the stars in the Milky-way. One by one the stars fade away until you realize dawn is breaking. Mother always like that song Morning has Broken.
It is 4:20 in the morning. There is just a sliver of the moon - a quarter moon, or is it an eight - plus the North or Morning Star. The air is pure and fresh. Last night I again went on the internet to recheck out the information from the night before. That's just it. I have been looking and looking for answers to Mother's decline. I always tried to find something that might -just might -stop this insidious onset. Funny, how the words insidious onset seem like opposites. But that is what Mother has -the insidious onset of her eventual death.
Mother is becoming this tiny vessel, an empty vessel. I want to reach inside. Pull something out. Shake the vessel. Turn it upside down. But nothing comes out. Her corrosive memories are fading. I will be her memory bank.
Last night there was an eclipse of the moon. Quite amazing really watching the earth pass in front of the moon. Through the binoculars I could see formations shadowed on the moon with the brightness of the moon gradually going smaller and smaller, being sliced away, just as Mother's memories have been sliced away. Moving so slowly that it is difficult to see at the moment but looking back you realize how the change has occurred. After the eclipse, the moon was a red shadow. I wonder if this was an omen of what is to come or where Mother is or a reflection of Mother as the moon got smaller and smaller.
At the end of one's life there should be a canvas of vivid colours, of vivid memories of a life well lived. But with Alzheimer's the victims are robbed of all those memories. A thief stole / robbed Mother of many, many important memories, memories that make up a lifetime.
Shortly after this last entry, Mother followed the sunrise and joined John, her loving husband.
In January, 2005, nine months after my mother had gently faded away and after I had sorted through all the discarded family treasures, odds and ends, bits and pieces, throwaways and photographs from my family's home, I began the series Inside the Space of Lost Memories.
Inside the Space of Lost Memories speaks to the notion of landscape, memory and loss when considering Alzheimer's. This work references the social and deeply personal ways in which memory, experience and the memory's landscape intertwine and become unexplained lines of thoughts and tangled, faded knots of language.

Review of Fort Anahuac County Park Review
Nancy M.
4 out of 5 stars
Fort Anahuac County Park
Reviewed on March 24th, 2023
Fort Anahuac County Park located with Chambers county is just one of several parks offered in this county. Located within the boundries of the town of Anahue it is a great spot to stay if exploring this area. In order to camp here you must contact the county office either by phone, email or in person. We got our permit by stopping at the county office on Airport Road. The permit is free but you can only stay for up to three days. There are no electrical or water hook ups offered even though you will see electrical outlet and water throughout the park. We camped up on the top of the hill when you first enter the park but we did hear later that you can park down by the boat launch although we never saw anyone there. This is a well used day park by the locals with a playground, boat launch, boardwalk and fishing piers. Inside Anahue Park is a beautiful new ball diamond complex so this brings alot of traffic into the park. We were parked not far from the ball diamonds so it got busy when there was a game happening. Next time we will park farther away. A short drive from here is the Anahue National Wildlife Reservation. Here there is a driving loop that goes around the marsh with many different birds and alligators. We spotted 30 alligators but we were told in the warmer weather many people count in the hundreds. Great spot for enjoying this area of Texas and will return here again.

⇰ The corn samples from Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia were delivered to PATENT CO's lab between September 2022 and November 2022.
In this survey, 210 corn samples were analysed for multiple mycotoxins by LC-MS/MS triple quadrupole (Agilent 6460 series) using a multi-mycotoxin method for quantification of all mycotoxins present. These included:
- ⇰ Aflatoxins: AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2.
- ⇰ α-Zearalenol (α-ZEL), β-Zearalenol (β-ZEL), Zearalanone (ZAN), and Zearalenone (ZEN).
- ⇰ Diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS).
- ⇰ HT-2 toxin and T-2 toxin.
⇰ 3-Acetyl Deoxynivalenol (3-ADON), 15-Acetyl Deoxynivalenol (15-ADON), Deoxynivalenol (DON).
⇰ Nivalenol (NIV).
- ⇰ Fumonisins: FB1, FB2, and FB3.
- ⇰ Fusaric acid (FA).
- ⇰ Moniliformin (MON).
- ⇰ Ochratoxin A (OTA).
- ⇰ Beauvericin (BEA).
- ⇰ Enniatins: Enniatin A (ENA), Enniatin A1 (ENA1), Enniatin B (ENB), and Enniatin B1 (ENB1).
In 2022, 7% of the corn samples from Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia were not contaminated with mycotoxins whereas 93% samples were found to contain more one or more than one mycotoxin (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Number of mycotoxins per corn sample from Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia.
Table 1. Mycotoxin contamination levels (ppb) in corn samples from Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia in 2022.
In the 2022 harvested corn from Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia, 93% of corn samples were contaminated with one or more than one mycotoxin.
⇰ Fumonisins, Aflatoxins and Beauvericin were the most prevalent mycotoxins detected in these samples using LC-MS/MS.
The co-occurrence of more than one mycotoxin can lead to additive or synergistic effects when fed to sensitive animal species (e.g., swine and poultry amongst others).

The future of the water sector in the UK basically looks pretty good, because all of the sector's stakeholders, including water companies, have joined in partnership to ensure the future of water, with water companies contributing expertise and perspectives to inform the debate.
The water sector in the UK will face growing challenges from climate change, population growth, changing customer expectations, and more restrictive environmental standards. These challenges will require the continuing evolution of the sector's regulatory framework as well and significant further investment over the next 25 years and beyond.
Previous studies and discussions have shown that while there are major problems with the future of the water sector in the UK, no one sector or organisation has all the answers, and the only way to ensure that there is sufficient water for future generations in the UK is for all stakeholders to work together.
This led to a debate between 25 contributions, covering a wide range of topics such as future challenges and uncertainties facing the sector, totex, outcomes, capital maintenance, menus, customer engagement, RCV, access pricing, financing the water sector, the duration of price controls, water resources and sludge treatment and disposal.
Some of the collaborations by water companies include the following:
- Yorkshire Water has worked with PwC to develop a range of scenarios for the long term future of the water sector, to stimulate discussion on the long term vision for the water sector;
- UKWIR has commissioned Harry Bush and First Economics to consider the future role of customer and stakeholder engagement in the water industry, looking at lessons from PR14 and from experiences of customer engagement in price reviews in other sectors;
- Thames Water has commissioned Deloitte to carry out a statistical exploration of the water industry Service Incentive Mechanism;
- Water UK has commissioned NERA to assess options for the future use of inflation indices in the water industry in England and Wales, from the perspective of the long term interests of customers; and
- Wessex Water has considered how changes in regulation that would foster greater commercialisation in the sludge sector could drive greater innovation and efficiency.
The UK water sector has achieved quite a lot over the past 25 years as a result of sustained investment, and it is hoped that this collaboration will achieve even more.

The Ranaka sisters; Dineo, Mpumi and Manaka, have confessed to having some challenges in their relationship as siblings, despite their seemingly strong and unbreakable bond. "We are not fake with each other, we do have conflicts," Mpumi says, adding that, "This year has put our connection to the test."
The sisters reveal that they had a big clash that led to them not talking to each other for a whole year until recently. "I am getting married soon, and it would have been heartbreaking to do it without my sisters. So, I am glad that we have reconciled," Mpumi says. Manaka says that when they were invited to the Festive Get-Together in the Life Artois, she was hesitant because she thought they might have known about their rift. "I wondered why they wanted us three; me, Mpumi and Dineo. What did they know? Did they know that we were not on good terms? We didn't expect to go through some healing process that we didn't plan for," she says.
The sisters credit their father's 80th birthday lunch for bringing them back together. "We started talking again after a year of silence because of our dad," Manaka says. "God has his ways. We were not talking when our dad turned 80. We came, ate and at the end of the lunch, we were chatting. We didn't even argue, as one might think. By the end of the night, we were all crying, talking and bonding. There are still some issues that need to be resolved, but we love each other, we are siblings after all."
Manaka also stood up for her sister Dineo when she faced social media backlash after having a mental breakdown and losing her job at Kaya 959. "I will always defend my sister even if we are not talking," she says. "Fortunately, we had just started talking at that time." At the time of the interview, Dineo was enjoying her life in Miami with her Podcast and Chill team, where she works now. The sisters admit that it's hard to be in the public eye and deal with personal problems. "We were not talking and I don't want to go into details. This was a big deal for us. But the way it worked out is what matters to me," Manaka says.

CULTURE TRUMPET – Titanic and Me
Written by "Geoffers"
When I was 7 years old my parents bought me a book; the subject of which would affect me for the rest of my life. It was about a ship that, on it's maiden voyage, struck an iceberg and sank; fifteen hundred hundred people losing their lives in the process. The ship was of course the Titanic. I remember opening the book for the first time and staring in awe at Ken Marschall's evocative painting of the ship's stern lifting out of the water. I was captivated.
The tale of the Titanic is a story that I'm confident most in the western world know and could probably repeat the bare bones of quite easily. In a way the Titanic never left us at all and has outlasted all it's brethren; it's story kept alive and well for almost 110 years. But why the Titanic? It's certainly not the only devastating peacetime tragedy to have shocked the world before or after. In my lifetime alone I can think of others, Chernobyl, Challenger, the Herald of Free Enterprise, Piper Alpha to name but a few. But the Titanic is the one we all know and it happened long before all but a select few people alive today were born. So many aspects make it a compelling true life tale. The press reports of it being unsinkable, the band, the maiden voyage and the loss of life.
Culturally the Titanic and it's fate can be argued to have had a colossal effect upon the 20th century onwards. Countless books, films, documentaries, exhibitions and memorabilia have always been around to keep the story alive. Not even a month had passed before the tragedy had been adapted for the big screen in 'Saved from the Titanic', co-written by a survivor. In fact 1912 saw not one but three films about disaster. Other later films of note include 'A Night to Remember' (1958) and James Cameron's relatively recent account, 'Titanic' (1997). The latter film breaking all existing box office records to be the highest grossing film in history and holding on to that mantle for over a decade. The Titanic was even brought back from the depths in the infamous box office bomb, 'Raise the Titanic' (1980). Beyond the retelling of the disaster it could be further argued that the sinking has influenced a plethora of cinematic tales, such as the Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno. A common theme being our utter faith in our technology being tested to destruction by the overwhelming power of nature.
I'm drawn back to the disaster in a very personal way roughly once a year at least. Firstly, it's due to the grandeur and beauty of the liner itself. For me the Titanic itself wasn't just any ship; looking at the many photos of her and her sister, Olympic, they were truly beautiful ships, almost works of art. Many words are often devoted to her interior luxury but I am always drawn to her exterior. I can't think of another liner that matches their beautiful lines. When viewed from a rear angle her profile is far from straight, instead subtly curving upwards along her sides before reaching the bow. Britannic, the fated third sister, never met the standards of her older siblings due to hospital ship paint and ugly lifeboat gantries, hurriedly added after the loss of the Titanic.
Elegance and aloofness are the words that are conjured up by the Edwardian first class amongst. How people and times have changed in the short 110 years since. It was truly inconceivable that the Titanic could possibly sink. One can only imagine when they realised they were so wrong how they could have felt. I'm reminded of the reaction to Michael Goodcliffe's turn as Thomas Andrews, Titanic's designer, in 'A Night to Remember' when he responds to a question over Titanic's unsinkable nature "She is made of iron, sir. I assure you she can. And she will.".
But what really cuts through it all is the utter sense of tragedy and loss. As much as it fascinates me, the Titanic haunts me almost as if I were one of the souls on the ship itself. Words can never convey the sheer terror of the ordeal, the separation from and loss of loved ones and the feelings of safety, luxury and comfort that within minutes were turned upside down. The experience must have been, well again, there are no words.
Today, 110 years later we live in a world so different from those days in 1912 but Titanic is still with us. I look at photos of the wreck and I'm saddened, sometimes angry, sometimes disgusted. However much I or anyone else is interested or devoted to the Titanic, the ship, the people or the story, we can't forget what the man who found the wreck in 1985, Dr. Robert Ballard, has repeatedly stated – that the Titanic is first and foremost a grave. Since its discovery in 1985 the wreck has been visited countless times for countless reasons, causing additional damage to the wreck and the removal of all kinds of objects. Surely it's well beyond time to leave the Titanic in peace for good.

The government has renegotiated the La General Hospital project to be funded through the national budget, the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta has announced.
"The contractor is expected back on site next week to complete a significant amount of work by 2024," he told Parliament during the 2024 budget presentation on Wednesday, November 15, 2023.
The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyemang-Manu on Tuesday disclosed that the Finance Ministry secured €50 million in local funding for the reconstruction of the Hospital.
Mr Ken Ofori-Atta also added the Ministry will commission "the 100-bed ultramodern Urology and Nephrology Centre of Excellence aimed at facilitating the provision of kidney transplantation services at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital."
"The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital acquired a new MRI Chiller System for Radiology to enhance imaging services. It also initiated the manufacturing of Hypertonic Saline, a critical resource for surgeries and Hyponatremia treatment, making it the sole manufacturing site in Ghana," he said.
The La General Hospital was demolished in July 2020 after the hospital's administration reported severe structural problems.
As a result, President Akufo-Addo cut the sod for the commencement of construction of the Hospital Redevelopment Project on August 10, 2020 but work is yet to start.

On 6 October 2022, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) published a draft taxation ruling on the residency tests for individuals.1
In the absence of legislative changes to the Australian individual tax residency tests, the draft ruling seeks to consolidate the views reflected in earlier rulings and consider developments in case law.2
The ATO is inviting comments to the proposed draft ruling which are due by 25 November 2022.
There has been no update on the announcements made in May 2021 (by the previous federal government) regarding the reform of Australia's individual tax residency tests and proposed adoption of the Board of Taxation's recommendations in its report.3 This draft ruling does not discuss any legislative changes and the current law remains. (For prior coverage, see GMS Flash Alert 2021-142, 12 May 2021.)
This ruling can be seen as an interim step to recognise the growing uncertainty taxpayers are facing in self-assessing their individual tax residency as personal situations become more complex. Changes to the individual tax residency rules have the potential to impact all globally-mobile employees, as tax residency is critical in determining an individual's Australian tax position. Employers are also affected as their employer obligations may vary depending on an individual's tax residency.
Who Is a Tax Resident of Australia?
Australia's current tax legislation outlines four tests to determine tax residence. An individual is regarded as a tax resident of Australia if he or she satisfies one or more of these tests.
The draft ruling seeks to provide updated guidance on the Australian Tax Commissioner's views on three of these tests and how they should be applied to an individual's facts and circumstances. As there is no bright-line test, differences in intention, motivations and life circumstances may produce different outcomes. The draft ruling provides that no single fact determines the outcome, and the significance of facts varies from case to case.
We have highlighted below some observations and key take-aways regarding the ATO's updated views on each of the three key tests discussed in the draft ruling.4
Resides / Ordinary Concepts Test
An individual will be a tax resident if he or she "resides" in Australia under ordinary concepts. This requires an assessment of the individual's presence and connection to Australia. Factors of note to consider are:
— Length of time or period of physical presence in Australia – This is an important factor but not determinative. The draft ruling retains the rule of thumb that a visit to Australia of less than six months is generally not of a sufficient length of time to be regarded as residing in Australia.
— Intention and purpose of presence – The draft ruling appears to place significant emphasis on the individual's intention and purpose for being in Australia. Objectively observable factors and behaviour and contemporaneous statements about intent and purpose (such as those included on passenger cards and visa documentation) would be relevant. In addition, when the original intention towards being in Australia changes, this can alter an individual's Australian tax residency status.
— Behaviour consistent with residing in Australia – The manner in which the individual lives may demonstrate that the individual is residing in Australia if it reflects a degree of continuity, routine, or habit.
— Family, and business or employment ties – Many individuals may be required to work overseas but return to Australia at intervals to resume a pre-existing, established family and social life. This will often indicate that the individual is still residing in Australia. Even though an individual has foreign employment, if there is an ongoing, deliberate connection to Australia, it is likely the individual will remain a tax resident and will not be regarded as a mere visitor to Australia.
Domicile / Permanent Place of Abode Test
— For Australian-domiciled individuals to not be considered a tax resident, the Commissioner must be satisfied that their permanent place of abode is outside of Australia. The focus here is on whether the individual has abandoned residency in Australia and commenced to live in a permanent way overseas (acknowledging that "permanent" does not mean forever).
— It is helpful that the two-year rule remains and has been re-stated. When the intended length of stay overseas is less than 2 years, the individual is unlikely to be able to establish that that his or her permanent place of abode is outside of Australia.5
— In line with the Harding case,6 the ATO has confirmed that the expression "place of abode" refers to the physical surroundings in which the individual lives, extending to a town or country, and the focus is not necessarily on a particular bricks-and-mortar dwelling. Provided that the nature of the individual's presence in a town or country is consistent with both abandoning residency in Australia and living in that town or country in a permanent way, a permanent place of abode could be established.
— The draft ruling has provided further guidance on more complex outbound individual situations where that individual undertakes employment overseas but maintains ties to Australia, such as family and assets in Australia. Generally, when there appears to be no abandonment of Australia as the place of residence due to maintenance of connections to Australia, an individual will remain a tax resident. This is regardless of whether more time is spent overseas than in Australia in any given income year.
183-Days Test
— The draft ruling focuses primarily on the two provisos to the 183-day test.7 In certain circumstances, even if an individual's stay in Australia exceeds 183 days in a tax year, he or she can still be regarded as a nonresident if he or she can demonstrate (1) having a usual place of abode overseas and (2) having no intention of taking up residence in Australia.
— As with the domicile test, it is not necessary for a person, while in Australia, to have and maintain a physical dwelling overseas in order for his or her usual place of abode to be outside Australia.
— In response to the case of Addy,8 the ATO also provides commentary in relation to short-term visa holders (such as those on working holiday maker visas). The Commissioner takes the view that, consistent with the purpose of the visa (which is for a holiday) and the expected transitory nature of lifestyle, these individuals generally do not intend to live in Australia in the manner consistent with residing in Australia and hence fall within the provisos of the 183-day test.
— The Commissioner includes an example whereby an individual arrives in Australia on a working holiday maker visa and then decides to remain in Australia more permanently supported by applying for a permanent skilled work visa. The draft ruling places emphasis on the importance of a "change of intention" in this scenario which triggers the change in tax residency status.
Determining an individual's Australian tax residency status continues to require consideration and weighing of the facts and circumstances.
Whilst the ATO's draft ruling is a welcomed update in assisting individuals to self-assess their Australian tax residency position, many individuals may still feel there is a lack of certainty in relation to their tax residence position in modern-day scenarios, especially for outbound residency cases, in which travel back to Australia during periods of overseas employment is becoming more common.
At this stage, there is no further news in relation to whether the current government will adopt any of the recommendations proposed by the Board of Taxation in its 2019 report, which had sought to provide more clarity and certainty in the law by introducing a primary bright-line days test and secondary tests requiring consideration of a specific list of objective factors. For prior coverage, see the following issues of GMS Flash Alert: 2021-142 (12 May 2021) and 2019-191 (20 December 2019). It will be interesting to see if there are any further updates to this on 25 October 2022, when the newly-appointed Labour government hands down its updated 2022-23 Federal Budget.

The transcriptional co-repressor SIN3A (and possibly SIN3B) can bind to the RUNX1:CBFB complex at the promoter of the MIR27A gene, encoding microRNA miR-27a (Ben-Ami et al. 2009, Herglotz et al. 2013). Binding of SIN3A (and probably SIN3B) to RUNX1 is inhibited by PRMT1-mediated arginine methylation of RUNX1 arginine residues R206 and R210 (Zhao et al. 2008). In addition to SIN3A, the RUNX1-containing transcriptional repressor complex at the MIR27A promoter also includes histone arginine methyltransferase PRMT6 and histone deacetylase HDAC1 (Herglotz et al. 2013). Dimethylation of histone H3 on lysine residue K4 (K5 when taking into account the initiator methionine), known as the H3K4me2 mark, is characteristic of nucleosomes associated with megakaryocyte specific promoters, including the MIR27A gene, prior to the onset of differentiation (Herglotz et al. 2013).

I've told this story before, but now seems like a good time to revisit. I met Neil Young with my sister in 1999 at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis, after one of his solo acoustic shows. Since we had been sitting in the orchestra pit that night, we were invited to a Bridge School Benefit after party that we were told Neil would be attending for a few minutes.
I remember him showing up about midway through the gathering, in quiet fashion; there was no announcement. I just turned around and he was standing there, fiercely gazing at me with his big, wide-open eyes. I remember shaking his hand, thanking him, and asking for a picture; he replied, and I remember this clearly, "I don't see why not." I remember the flash affecting him in a way he did not like, and his manager, Elliot Roberts, immediately asked that no more pictures be taken. Guess I got lucky.
I remember my sister asking for his autograph, and he joked with her in his best feminine voice. "Okayyyy," he said. Yes, Neil Young was being playful with my sister. What a trip.
I bring all of this up because Waging Heavy Peace, a scattered memoir with exactly zero form (and all the better for it) — a book written by Young himself with no ghost writer — absolutely paints the human side of a rock star who has written some of the best and most important songs of the past forty years.
The point of this book isn't for us all congratulate Young on what a great writer of books he is. If you like carefully executed prose, this memoir isn't for you. Waging Heavy Peace reads like much of Young's musical career — bouncing around from one thought to another, like Young's albums switching from rock to folk to county to electronic to folk and back to rock again. It's a confusing read in a sense that Young writes about what he wants, when he wants to write about it. This is not surprising; in fact, it's quite refreshing to read something by a writer who has no interest in catering to a form he should or should not be following. That's Neil Young.
Young begins talking about Lionel Trains, a company of which he still owns a small share. It is quickly apparent to the reader that, besides music and family, trains and cars are two of Young's favorite subjects, and we are reminded of this throughout Waging Heavy Peace. He is a man who feels most at ease when he is moving. Neil Young does not like to sit still.
We're taken through the business dealings of one of his current projects, Pono, an idea that will hope to revolutionize the sound of digital music, presenting the listener with the highest resolution possible (a digital to analog process, with the format still being digital, is the best way I can describe it), something that Young holds dear to his heart. It's the feel of the music that is being lost of today's modern listener, Young believes, and that's why music is slowly dying, he tells us. Of course, without hearing the technology of Pono (which will include the "Revelator" — a feature that will give the listener an option of switching between MP3 format and Pono format, to feel the difference), it is hard to form an opinion. Personally, I love the sound of vinyl, and I only listen to MP3s and/or streaming services like Spotify when it is convenient (which, as Young explains, is part of the problem — we've become obsessed with convenience). It is very important to note here that Young's dedication to this Pono project appears second to none, and for that reason alone, it shines with promise.

Young, as you may know, has not lived an ordinary life. Waging Heavy Peace touches on this — how Young's properties have caught on fire three times, how original Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten overdosed on heroin the night that Young fired him from his touring band for Harvest (and how Young lit a candle in the middle of the night when he heard the news at something like 3 AM), how Young's second son, Ben (who he refers to almost always as "Ben Young" throughout the book), was born with cerebral palsy, and how his first son, Zeke, also might be living with the same condition, despite the fact that cerebral palsy is not hereditary, and Ben and Zeke have different mothers (note: Young explains that it's possible that Zeke suffered a stroke in utero, which would perhaps eliminate the cerebral palsy diagnosis), how Young's wife, Pegi, survived a a very risky brain operation to remove a tumor, and how Young himself survived a brain aneurysm.
More on that. In perhaps the most revealing chapter, Young writes about how, after his aneurysm operation, he almost died in 2005. The surgeon had gone in through Young's femoral artery to get to his brain, and while on a walk in New York after the surgery, the "incision point failed to hold." Young explains:
"My leg got really hot. I noticed it was wet. My shoe was filling up with blood and my pants were soaked. I called to Eric (Johnson) and turned back toward the hotel. I was weak. He helped me walk. I tried to make it to the hotel, but started fading fast near the front door."
And later:
"Eric was right there. He had figured it out and was applying massive pressure to my leg where the wound was, holding back the flow of blood…I do credit Eric, absolutely, with saving my life. No question about it."
There's more detailing the situation in the book, and it's fascinating reading the minute-by-minute account in Young's words. In short, we're lucky to still have him around.
And he's more than just around — he's currently touring with Crazy Horse, a band that resurfaces time again in the book. Young and Crazy Horse's upcoming album Psychedelic Pill (due 10/30), is the first of which Young has written while not smoking weed and/or drinking alcohol. Throughout Waging Heavy Peace, Young expresses concern that he'll not be able to write a song while sober, but I assume that his muse (which he talks about constantly) returned in grand fashion, because I can tell you that Psychedelic Pill is indeed magnificent (thanks to my advance stream of the album). (It's also important to note that Young decided to stop smoking weed because of an MRI of his brain, which he fears might show the first signs of dementia — or something like it — a syndrome that his father, Scott Young, suffered from later in life.)
Waging Heavy Peace does have its quirks. Young likes to use a lot of exclamation points, which is odd, and is always casually thanking people, which is not odd, but is a little hokey. But, that's part of the book. We're taken through ordinary trips to Costco, book and music stores, and a situation where his car breaks down on the side of the road, forcing him to call AAA.
We are given a small glimpse of his conversations with Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, which, ultimately, leaving you wanting to know more. He mentions John Lennon's negative opinion of his famous lyric, "It's better to burn out than to fade away," and we are given Young's interpretation of the lyric, but he doesn't talk in detail about Lennon, other than Lennon "disagreed with that." We are, however, given a brief aside about Kurt Cobain using the lyric in his suicide letter, with Young stating that "it fucked with me," among other things.
But, again, that's probably the point of Waging Heavy Peace: we're always wanting more with Neil Young, and if we're patient, we usually get it.

Background: Choroidal metastases are the most common intraocular malignancy and are the first sign of systemic malignancy in approximately one-third of patients. Of patients with no previous diagnosis of cancer, oncological evaluation fails to find the primary lesion in approximately 50% of cases. Newer imaging modalities such as combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) may improve the yield of the systemic work-up. Methods: Consecutive patients presenting with presumed choroidal metastases were evaluated with whole body combined PET/CT scanning. Results: Four patients presenting to a tertiary referral hospital with choroidal metastases as the first sign of systemic malignancy were evaluated. In all four cases, PET/CT demonstrated the ocular lesion, and the primary malignancy which was confirmed by tissue biopsy. False-negative results were seen in two cases of cerebral metastases. PET/CT demonstrated lesions not visible on CT or magnetic resonance imaging in two cases. Conclusions: Combined PET/CT is a useful addition to the work-up of patients with choroidal metastases. It provides the opportunity to detect lesions not visible with other imaging modalities and the ability to image patients with contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging. It is essential to correlate PET images with clinical information and the results of other imaging modalities and tissue biopsy remains the gold standard in the diagnosis of malignancy. False positives and negatives can occur with PET/CT, and further research is needed before this promising technology becomes a routine part of the evaluation of patients with choroidal metastases.

Bob Jones runs through matches with Florence, James Clemens to claim Class 7A Area 7 title
MADISON – The Bob Jones Lady Patriots volleyball team imposed its will on Thursday at home as it cruised to the 3-0 (25-14, 25-14, 25-16) victory against James Clemens in the Class 7A Area 7 Championship.
Bob Jones (49-2), the top team in the state, ran through Florence in the Semi-Final Round 3-0 (25-12, 25-18, 25-15) to play in the Championship Round against the winner of the match that followed between Austin and James Clemens.
The Lady Jets of James Clemens (18-18) took down Austin (21-28) in the second of the Semi-Final Round 3-1 (25-21, 18-25, 25-23, 25-12) to face the Lady Patriots the same night.
The JC vs Austin match did not lack excitement as the two schools battled each other with their respective seasons hanging in the balance.
The first set was tightly contested as the Lady Jets traded points with the Lady Black Bears throughout the set.
There were ties at 5-5 and then 7-7 before James Clemens' outside hitter Maja Sullivan knotted the match up at 9-9 with a kill.
Sullivan was a force in the match for the Lady Jets as she rarely came out of the first couple of sets.
Back-to-back aces by James Clemens' Adley Willis gave her team points 17 and 18 to lead 18-13.
A key block by the Lady Jets at set point gave the girls from County Line Road the first set 25-21.
The second set was tied at 18-18 before Austin rattled off eight consecutive points to even the match at 1-1 overall with the 25-18 win in set two.
The third set was just epic.
It was like watching a sports movie with all the back-and-forth drama mixed with excitement.
Austin took the lead and appeared to take off with it going up 5-0, but James Clemens bounced back after a timeout to nip at the Lady Black Bears' heels.
The set finally squared up at 8-8 and it would virtually stay that way until the end as one side would make a play for a point and the other school would storm back to tie the set up in a flash.
It was a montage of 9-9 that became 11-11, followed by 13-13, 14-14, 15-15 until a 19-19 and 20-20.
The girls were breathing hard and cheering even harder for each other as the set climbed into the final points.
JC's Kaitlin Cardinale crushed a ball for a timely kill to make it 21-20 only to see it squared up at 21-21.
Something had to give here.
The set was tied at 23-23 when Cardinale obliterated another ball over the net for the 24th point.
Everything was so razor thin.
Every dig mattered, every set mattered, and every girl was leaving it all out there on the court.
Lady Jet Kayden Gray rose up and struck the ball downward for that all-important kill that handed James Clemens the 25-23 third-set win.
Gray, who had been making key plays during the entire match, came back to the court with the stone-faced look of someone who knew they were going to get it done for their team as the girls celebrated around her with glee.
After all of that excitement, James Clemens still needed to win one more set and the Lady Jets had so much momentum that they blew out a fading Austin team in the fourth and final set 25-12.
This semifinal win for JC placed it into the area final with the mighty Bob Jones after a short break.
