From JP's latest newsletter:
"God Wants His Children Well And Joyful
John 14:9
9 Jesus said to him, "…He who has seen Me has seen the Father…
… there are many Christians who believe that our heavenly Father… gives people sicknesses, accidents, earthquakes and death to teach them lessons.
But Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." Jesus is the nature of God in action. Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus or God going about healing the sick. If God wants some people sick, then there should be at least one incident in the Gospels where you see Jesus saying, "Behold, your complexion is too lovely, receive leprosy," or "Blindness is good for you. Remain blind." But no, never once! In fact, Jesus "went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil". (Acts 10:38) That's the heart of God.
As a father, if your child is sick and in pain, your heart just wants him well. How much more your heavenly Father! My friend, God does not give your child a sickness to teach both of you some lesson or to glorify Himself. To think so is to talk out of a warped mind bound by religion! And Christianity is not a religion. It is a loving relationship with your Father in heaven.
Beloved, hear God speaking this to your heart today: "I will never punish you for your sins because they have been punished in My Son's body. I do not wish you ill. I will not take away your child or give you a car wreck to teach you some lesson. My heart always wants My children well and joyful!""
Seems obvious once you read it, doesn't it? That's a sign of a brilliant truth, in my book.
Why does this need to be said? Because to some people the idea that bad things can happen without rhyme or reason is so terrifying that they prefer to believe that God is a cruel creature causing a tiny % of wrongdoers enormous harm for trivial offenses rather than accept that some things are RANDOM.
YES, of course He sees all, knows all. YES, He can unleash His power at any time and in any situation of His choosing… but for many kinds of situations He does not usually intervene. These situations typically involve the "flaws" that He built into the "system":
He created the Earth such that it has dangerous events like earthquakes and tsunami.
He created creatures, from bees to bears, that can harm us.
He gave us bodies that are not indestructible or immune to sickness.
He gave us minds that are capable of stupidity, carelessness, cruelty and mental illness.
He gave us the intelligence to create things meant to do harm, such as bombs and guns, and things that can "go wrong" and cause harm, such as cars and planes.
He gave us varying levels and kinds of abilities, so that people would have different levels of capability to create benefits (such as wealth) for themselves and/or others.
We can speculate endlessly as to WHY He did these things rather than make everything equal and safe and perfect for everyone. My own analysis is that He wants us to value what we have, make an effort on our own behalf, help others, grow and improve, and have faith, none of which would happen if we were happy little robots rolling along in a perfect world. But the why doesn't matter for the purpose of JP's topic. The point is that since our "system" was created with these "flaws," bad things are guaranteed to happen in every area that they CAN happen, and this is why they DO happen, not because God is angry at you. Bad things by definition happen even to good people, and no one is immune:
Matthew 5:45 (AMP)
45 … He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike].
If something bad happens in your life, don't start asking why God has done this to you, or what He is punishing you for; not only is no such thing happening, but you are essentially accusing the author of all your blessings of mistreating you!! Not really the level of gratitude and trust that He deserves.
God isn't hovering over you waiting to unleash disaster as a penalty for lying on your taxes; He is waiting to open up the windows of heaven to pour blessings down on you:
Malachi 3:10 (NLT)
10 … I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!
Don't live in fear that He will hurt you; live in joyous expectation that He will bless you.

Getting a good screenshot after you've drunk a potion is close to impossible, but with this texture pack you won't have a problem since they are removed from appearing. Another great time it's useful is when you drink an invisibility potion. You will no longer have to worry about enemies notice you because of the particles (assuming everyone have the pack installed).

Here's a good demonstration of what it looks like in-game. This player just consumed a potion of invisibility. If it wasn't for the armor he would have been completely invisible.

Volkswagen Think Blue for Earth Day
Volkswagen Canada used Earth Day (April 22) this year to remind people that their driving habits can make a big impact on the environment. The message is part of the global Think Blue campaign, initiated from Volkswagen's head office in Wolfsburg, Germany, pairing together environmental protection and automotive progress. The Think Blue campaign is gaining momentum in Canada through touch-screen displays at auto shows and through interactive elements online at www.vw.ca/thinkblue. The Canadian advertising campaign includes "Globe", a 30-second television ad, featuring a slowly inflating globe. It culminates with the message that "By checking our tire pressure regularly, we could save 24 million litres of gasoline a day."

CBD-infused products are taking the cosmetics industry by storm. CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp and marijuana, has recently been added to products carried by major retailers such as Sephora, Barneys and Neiman Marcus.,
According to Erinn Murphy, a senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, "This week at Sephora, we noticed a curated section in-store for hemp-oriented products featuring brands that have dipped their toe into this space. We have seen a high level of interest in cannabis beauty from retailers over the past month based on our store checks and incremental launches. We expect further retailer developments in the coming months."
Companies that feature CBD-infused products include Estée Lauder, e.l.f. Beauty and Ulta Beauty. In addition, Barneys announced last week that it will stock luxury cannabis accessories including several CBD beauty products in a Beverly Hills, California, location in March. Neiman Marcus also said it will begin featuring a selection of CBD beauty products online and in five stores.

CBD hemp oil is sourced from hemp with lower levels of THC than marijuana and high levels of CBD. It's a rich source of fatty acids and other nutrients that are beneficial to skin, says Francesca Fusco, MD, a dermatologist based in New York City. Studies show that CBD can increase barrier function, improve hydration, minimize moisture loss, and reduce inflammation.
CBD has also been shown to regulate cell growth, diminish inflammation, and stimulate fats in the skin and sebaceous glands. These properties may be effective against skin issues, such as dry skin, psoriasis, and eczema.
Since many skin problems are due to inflammation, the anti-inflammatory benefits of CBD oil are particularly important since "the primary receptor for CBD (CB2) is found on immune cells," which is where inflammation takes place, says Adam Friedman, MD, a dermatologist in Washington D.C.

They say breakfast is the healthiest meal of the day! We also think it is best to start the day with a healthy skin care routine. - Our favorite morning routine: wash with luke warm water and Cream Cleanser, gently pat dry. Apply Hydrating Nutrient Mist to moist skin. Next, mix 3 drops of Vitamin C Serum + 3 drops Antioxidant Facial Oil together in the hand and apply together, rubbing in well. Lastly add SPF. (Pro tip - we like to layer our Facial SPF over the Antioxidant Facial Oil for added antioxidants and to help product rub in super clear!) - See our story for more details... ✨ . . . #madhippieskincare #madhippie #hippielifestyle #morningroutine #skincareroutine #sunprotection #spf #serum #vitaminc #antioxidants #flowerpower #cosmopolitan #naturalbeauty #naturalskincare #allnatural #naturalliving #healthyliving #crueltyfree #greenbeauty #vegan #veganfriendly #facialcare #loveyourself #loveyourskin (📸: @rachelontherock)

Sorry to raise this issue again but it is something that has not gone away – in fact it is becoming more worrying.
There has been a sighting of the Asian Hornet in Bury in Greater Manchester on a cauliflower which was traced back to a farm in Lincolnshire. This one was identified as an Asian Hornet Queen – but it got away.
Estimates of the damage that the Asian Hornet can do vary but it is estimated that a single Asian Hornet can eat 50 or so honey bees a day.
It is suggested that the next two weeks are the most crucial if we are to prevent this pest becoming established in the UK.
I know I have said it before but there is an excellent 'Asian Hornet Watch' app available to download from the Apple and Android app stores which can be used for identification and reporting. This is not just for beekeepers but for anyone.

The New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department will administer the practice permit test for New Mexico. New Mexico has a graduate licensing program that may being when an individual is 15 years old. To obtain a instruction permit, one must present one proof of identification number one proof of identity, two proofs or New Mexico residency. The MVD website will have a listing of acceptable forms of identification. Parental consent will also be required and the application form will be signed by them, certifying this action.
The permit practice test for New Mexico is optional only when the driver has completed a certified driver's education program with an anti-DUI component. For persons in the graduated licensing program, they must have 50 hours of driving practice with hours at night as well as have a clean driving record and supervision by an adult 21 years and older who has had a license for three years.
Once these conditions have been met, a provisional license will be issued, again with parental consent, to teenagers older than 15 and a half. Unlike other states, the road skills exam is done not at the MVD but at a registered Driver Education School that will report the results to the state authority. Once the teenager turns 18, they may upgrade to a full, unrestricted license, without parental consent.

About Christmas in Clunes
Started in 2016, the very first Christmas in Clunes was put together by a Working Party made up of traders and residents; and the support of local businesses as sponsors, or participants. Clunes Neighbourhood House auspiced the activities, and the festival (as it turned into) received additional support from the Council, and also the Bendigo Bank. It took us over 300 hours to develop the displays and put up the decorations; and more than 3 days to take them down again. Countless people (too many to name even though we'd love to thank everyone individually!) helped decorate the town, or entertain people on each of the Friday evenings throughout December.

Diamond (April Birthstone)
Diamond Gemstone
April is the luckiest month of all, since Diamonds are the birthstone. More and more women are dressing in these brilliant, dazzling gemstones as effortlessly as they throw on their favorite sweater.
Most Diamonds are more than 100 million years old, and many are over three billion years old, making Diamonds the oldest of all gemstones. They are also the hardest substance known to man, made of carbon that is crystallized deep within the earth.
First discovered over 3,000 years ago in India, Diamonds are found today in remote parts of the world, such as Australia, Russia. Botswana and South Africa. Their unique hardness and high refractive index have inspired legends. To the Greeks, they were teardrops from the gods. To the Romans, they came from the falling stars that tipped the arrow of Eros, the god of Love. For Hindus, Diamonds were the lightning that armed the hand of the god Indra.
When purchasing Diamonds, customers are adhering to the 4 C's- cut, color, clarity and carat weight- but increasingly, they seek finer stones. Customers should understand that it is the cutting that releases the true brilliance of a stone.
With something so precious, remember to rely on a well-established jeweler, with a wide selection of merchandise, who is qualified to determine a Diamond's value and quality. Little wonder the Greeks named Diamonds "adamas." It means unconquerable.

From Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams to George Washington Adams, 14 June 1812
St Petersburg June 14th. 1812
I write you my dear George, with a hope that this letter will not reach you. however as we have reports here of an Embargo, being to take place in America, early in the Season, I will not omit the opportunity which now offers, of assuring you of my tenderest affection, & solicitude, for your present and future welfare. Your Father, and myself, were very anxious to have both you, and your Brother, sent out to us here, and we still hope to have the pleasure of embracing you, [<
down>] in the course of the Summer. should I not be disappointed, I flatter myself, I shall find you wonderfully improved, in every branch of your education; and anxious to use the utmost exertion to emulate the talents, and merits, of your father, and Grandfather. much is expected of you my darling Boy, and the progress you have hitherto made leads to the most flattering hope—
Tell your dear Brother, how much I am delighted with the rappid progress he has made in his writing, and that all I said to you, is equally meant for him. you are equally beloved & cherished and of both we form the same expectations—
Charles has been quite sickly all the winter, but is now getting much better, you have a sweet little Sister, who we think looks like Grandmama Adams, she is very handsome, and has the finest pair of black eyes you ever saw. I wish you could see what a good natured little mad cap she is, she plays all day long, and has called papa, and Mama, this six Weeks
Charles reads french beautifully, he has already read La Fantaines Fables through, and one Vol. of Berquin. he is as much delighted with these beautiful Stories, as you were. to you this will perhaps appear light reading, but remember, he is not yet five years old. he has an extraordinary taste for numbers, <
and> your Papa takes infinite pains to cultivate it. I hope you pay due attention to this branch of your education, as it is highly necessary that you should perfectly understand it, to enable you in future, to conduct yourself with prudence, & regularity—
God Bless you both, and grant us a happy meeting soon. present me affectionately to Mr. & Mrs. Peabody, and to Abby Shaw, You may perhaps see the Gentleman who carries this letter, on his arrival, he has frequently visited me, and seen Charles, and your little Sister. and now my dear Children, I must close this letter, with every wish for your future happiness, from your tender, & affectionate Mother,
Louisa C Adams

Social Marketing the Arlington (and Tower Hamlets and Baltimore) way
Okay, the Commuter blog mentioned that I wrote about the Alrington Car Free Diet Expo, and said there might be more to come. That goosed me, because I wouldn't normally be able to get to it for awhile, and I still haven't uploaded any of my own photos. But here goes...
I am not sure that Arlington fully understands exactly why they are doing so great (maybe they do, and I have never met Diana Sun, the Communications Director for the County) but here is my interpretation. Besides starting with important values and vision, and getting all County agencies committed and executing on the same page with the same philosophy, they have figured out a way to lead change by using social marketing and "design" principles. They combine
1. The Design method;
2. Social marketing principles for behavior change -- A focus on transformation -- not merely "change" or "innovation" (not to mention "system maintenance"); and
3. Development and execution of complete and strategic campaigns;
4. Built upon the creation of complete identity systems and brands. (Logos aren't brands. They are part of a branding-identity system.)
DC1974/Inaudible Noise and I have been discussing the Design Method for some time now.
Recently I went through a great book Designing Brand Identity and I came across another, WorldBranding, that I saw at the Rizzoli bookstore--the Library of Congress doesn't even have that book yet. Plus I've picked up some others, including Wayfinding: Designing and Implementing Graphic Navigational Systems. and Festival Graphics.
The other day he sent me a link to this piece, "How a design thinking approach can help librarians" from the Putting People First blog (which I am going to have to add to my very short list of must read blogs -- Commuterblog, Washcycle, Streetsblog, maybe CEO for Cities, Frozen Tropics). This graphic is from that entry.
The Design Process.
NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT. Note the "Evaluate" and "Refine" stages. Governments rarely prototype. (Not to mention aren't usually great at marketing or graphic design and as importantly, "verve" -- I mean, compare DC's "Metro Extra" bus design to the "Metro Rapid" design in Los Angeles. Or the awful "America's Metro" logo proposed for the "next generation" subway cars. Although the DC Circulator has decent graphics.)
I would probably change this schematic a little, and include prototyping and testing within a combined "Prototype, Test, and Refine" stage.
Then you add to that social marketing, as pioneered by Porter, Novelli, and others. There are good books on the subject by Fine, one co-authored by Philip Kotler, plus Lauffer's out-of-print Marketing for Not-for-Profit Organizations and Kotler and Andreasen's Marketing for Nonprofit Organizations.
And they encapsulate this into "brands" and campaigns such as "The Commuter Store" "Walk Arlington" "Fit Arlington" "Bike Arlington" and now the "Car Free Diet."
I guess you could argue that social marketing has antecedents in direct marketing, which is testable. A particularly good, but old book on the subject is Maximarketing by Stan Rapp, and I've always liked The Marketing Imagination by Ted Leavitt.
The Commuter Store was started not by Arlington County but by the Ballston Partnerhip (or a precursor), but that set the stage for this deeper emphasis. A problem with the Commuter Store" as strong as a brand as it is, it emphasizes transit as being mostly for commuting, not transit as a way of life, as part of your lifestyle. Nonetheless, the concept is strong and has been adopted in other jurisdictions around the region.
Rosslyn Commuter Store photos from the Commuter Page website.
I think the brand can be better extended with a good tagline linking other forms of mobility--biking, walking, etc.
Plus, biking and walking need to be given their own dedicated sections within the "stores" to emphasize their importance, as well as the emphasis that Arlington County does give to walking and mobility.
Arlington does something that I always emphasize with nonprofits, that each thing you do needs to accomplish multiple objectives. So Walk Arlington promotes mobility, promotes fitness, and on tours of neighborhoods promotes community building as well as communication about cultural and other resources, not to mention focuses on improving the physical environment (urban design) for walking.
Single-track thinking and doing is unaffordable by any municipality, given ever constrained resources and increasing demands.
Two other places that use the same kinds of organizing principles are:
• Baltimore's Live Baltimore resident attraction program, which is a campaign and focused process that also happens to have a storefront. See "Selling the city: For 10 years, Live Baltimore has been convincing Washington residents and others that city living is charming," from the Baltimore Sun.
• The way that the Tower Hamlets borough of London repositioned their library system into the Idea Store which they describe as:
more than just a library or a place of learning. As well as the traditional library service, Idea Stores offer a wide range of adult education classes, along with career support, training, meeting areas, cafes and arts and leisure pursuits.
Arlington is more focused directly on behavior change when compared to the Idea Store, but Live Baltimore too is very focused, on attracting residents.

AbstractAmmonia-peroxide mixture (APM) is a widely used wet chemical system for particle removal from silicon surfaces. The conventional APM solution in a volume ratio of 1:1:5 (NH4OH:H2O2:H2O) is employed at elevated temperatures of 70-80 °C. At these temperatures, APM solution etches silicon at a rate of ~3 Å/min, which is unacceptable for current technology node. Additionally, APM solutions are unstable due to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and evaporative loss of ammonium hydroxide resulting in the change in APM solution composition. This has generated interest in the use of dilute APM solutions. However, dilution ratios are chosen without any established fundamental relationship between particle-wafer interactions and APM solutions.Atomic force microscopy has been used to measure interaction forces between H-terminated Si surface and Si tip in APM solutions of different compositions. The approach force curves results show attractive forces in DI-water, NH4OH:H2O (1:100) and H2O2:H2O (1:100) solutions at separation distances of less than 10 nm for all immersion times (2, 10 and 60 min) investigated. In the case of dilute APM solutions, the forces are purely repulsive within 2 min of immersion time. During retraction, the adhesion force between Si surface and Si tip was in the range of 0.8 nN to 10.0 nN. In dilute APM solutions, no adhesion force is measured between Si surfaces and repulsive forces dominated at all distances. These results show that even in very dilute APM solutions, repulsive forces exist between Si surface and particle re-deposition can be prevented.The stability of APM solutions has been investigated as a function of temperature (24 - 65 °C), dilution ratio (1:1:5 - 1:2:100), solution pH (8.0 - 9.7) and Fe2+ concentration (0 - 10 ppb) using an optical concentration monitor. The results show that the rate of H2O2 decomposition increased with an increase in temperature, solution pH and Fe2+ concentration. The kinetic analysis showed that the H2O2 decomposition follows a first order kinetics with respect to both H2O2 and OH- concentrations. In the presence of Fe2+, hydrogen peroxide decomposition follows a first order reaction kinetics with respect to H2O2 concentration.

AbstractObjective: Early tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment are determinants of better outcomes and effective disease control. Although tuberculosis should ideally be managed in a primary care setting, a proportion of patients are diagnosed in emergency facilities (EFs). We sought to describe patient characteristics by place of tuberculosis diagnosis and determine whether the place of diagnosis is associated with treatment outcomes. A secondary objective was to determine whether municipal indicators are associated with the probability of tuberculosis diagnosis in EFs. Methods: We analyzed data from the São Paulo State Tuberculosis Control Program database for the period between January of 2010 and December of 2013. Newly diagnosed patients over 15 years of age with pulmonary, extrapulmonary, or disseminated tuberculosis were included in the study. Multiple logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders were used in order to evaluate the association between place of diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Results: Of a total of 50,295 patients, 12,696 (25%) were found to have been diagnosed in EFs. In comparison with the patients who had been diagnosed in an outpatient setting, those who had been diagnosed in EFs were younger and more socially vulnerable. Patients diagnosed in EFs were more likely to have unsuccessful treatment outcomes (adjusted OR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.42-1.66), including loss to follow-up and death. At the municipal level, the probability of tuberculosis diagnosis in EFs was associated with low primary care coverage, inequality, and social vulnerability. In some municipalities, more than 50% of the tuberculosis cases were diagnosed in EFs. Conclusions: In the state of São Paulo, one in every four tuberculosis patients is diagnosed in EFs, a diagnosis of tuberculosis in EFs being associated with poor treatment outcomes. At the municipal level, an EF diagnosis of tuberculosis is associated with structural and socioeconomic indicators, indicating areas for improvement.
ResumoObjetivo: O diagnóstico e tratamento precoce da tuberculose são determinantes de melhores desfechos e controle eficaz da doença. Embora a tuberculose deva ser diagnosticada e tratada idealmente na atenção primária à saúde, uma porcentagem dos pacientes recebe o diagnóstico no pronto-socorro. Nosso objetivo foi descrever as características dos pacientes de acordo com o local onde o diagnóstico de tuberculose foi feito e determinar se há relação entre o local do diagnóstico e os desfechos do tratamento. Um objetivo secundário foi determinar se há relação entre indicadores municipais e a probabilidade de diagnóstico de tuberculose no PS. Métodos: Analisamos dados provenientes do banco de dados do Programa de Controle da Tuberculose do Estado de São Paulo, referentes ao período de janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2013. Foram incluídos no estudo pacientes recém-diagnosticados com mais de 15 anos de idade e tuberculose pulmonar, extrapulmonar ou disseminada. Modelos de regressão logística múltipla ajustados para levar em conta possíveis fatores de confusão foram usados para avaliar a relação entre o local do diagnóstico e os desfechos do tratamento. Resultados: De um total de 50.295 pacientes, 12.696 (25%) foram diagnosticados no PS. Em comparação com os pacientes que foram diagnosticados no ambulatório, os pacientes diagnosticados no PS eram mais jovens e mais vulneráveis socialmente. A probabilidade de tratamento com desfechos ruins, incluindo perda de seguimento e óbito, foi maior nos pacientes diagnosticados no PS (OR ajustada: 1,54; IC95%: 1,42-1,66). Nos municípios, a probabilidade de diagnóstico de tuberculose no PS relacionou-se com baixa cobertura da atenção primária, desigualdade e vulnerabilidade social. Em alguns municípios, mais de 50% dos casos de tuberculose foram diagnosticados no PS. Conclusões: No Estado de São Paulo, um em cada quatro pacientes com tuberculose é diagnosticado no PS; o diagnóstico de tuberculose no PS está relacionado com tratamento com desfechos ruins. Nos municípios, o diagnóstico de tuberculose no PS está relacionado com indicadores estruturais e socioeconômicos e indica pontos que precisam melhorar.

Tuberculosis remains a common disease and a complex public health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, as well as in the poorest sections of high-income countries.(1,2) Early diagnosis and treatment are the main determinants of favorable patient outcomes and effective control, reducing the period of transmissibility.(1-6)
There are barriers to early tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment, including delays in seeking medical attention after symptom onset, in establishing a definitive diagnosis, and in initiating appropriate treatment.(3,5,6) Several studies have examined factors associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment, including patient-related factors (e.g., age, female sex, other reasons for chronic cough, and self-perception), socioeconomic factors (e.g., social cohesion, poverty, and education), and health care system-related factors (e.g., access to primary care and tuberculosis caseload).(4-7)
The Brazilian public health care system provides universal coverage, being organized in a hierarchical and decentralized manner and providing full tuberculosis treatment free of charge.(8,9) Tuberculosis control in Brazil has improved in recent years, the overall incidence and associated mortality rate having decreased.(2) However, Brazil remains on the list of high-burden countries and has yet to achieve all of the World Health Organization (WHO) goals for tuberculosis control, particularly those related to treatment outcomes (i.e., a treatment success rate > 85%).(2,9,10) The state of São Paulo has a population of 44 million inhabitants distributed among 645 municipalities and accounts for nearly 20% of all tuberculosis cases in Brazil. Although the state of São Paulo is one of the wealthiest in the country, it has yet to achieve the goals related to treatment success.(9-13)
Previous studies have shown that the proportions of tuberculosis cases diagnosed in a hospital setting or in emergency facilities (EFs) are high in Brazil, which might indicate lack of access to health care and delayed diagnosis.(3,14-19) However, those studies were either single-center studies or studies conducted at the municipal level.(20,21) To overcome these limitations, we conducted the present population-based study, the objective of which was to describe patient characteristics by place of diagnosis and determine whether the place of diagnosis is associated with treatment outcomes. A secondary objective was to determine whether structural and socioeconomic indicators are associated with the likelihood of being diagnosed in EFs at the aggregate level, in order to inform targeted public health strategies.
Population and setting
The present study was a retrospective analysis of data from the São Paulo State Tuberculosis Control Program database for the period between January of 2010 and December of 2013. Newly diagnosed patients over 15 years of age with pulmonary, extrapulmonary, or disseminated tuberculosis were included in the study. Only new patients were included because patients with recurrent tuberculosis (relapse or reinfection) are highly expected to go through a different diagnostic process. In addition, prison inmates were excluded, as were patients diagnosed through active case finding, including those who had been diagnosed after contact tracing investigation, because of the specific circumstances associated with place of diagnosis.
All of the tuberculosis cases included in the present study were either bacteriologically confirmed or clinically diagnosed cases, in accordance with the WHO definitions.(22)
Data sources
Patient-related data were collected from an electronic health system (the TBweb database).(9,23) Because tuberculosis notification (including reporting of treatment initiation) is compulsory, the TBweb database includes data for all municipalities in the state of São Paulo. In addition, the São Paulo State Tuberculosis Control Program has been investing human and financial resources in the TBweb database, data accuracy and quality therefore being guaranteed.(9,23)
Data on the municipalities were collected from the following databases: the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics database(24); the São Paulo Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados (SEADE, State System of Data Analysis) Foundation database(13); and the Brazilian National Ministry of Health Department of Primary Care database.(25) The São Paulo SEADE Foundation is an independent public agency, being a national referral center for analysis of socioeconomic and demographic data.(13)
Indicators at the municipal level
The following indicators were used: population size, population density, gross domestic product, per capita gross domestic product, and level of urbanization. Composite indicators were also used, including the Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH, Human Development Index)-which assesses education, life expectancy, and economic development and ranges from 0 to 1 (IDH values closer to 1 translating to greater human development)-and the Gini coefficient, which assesses inequality and ranges from 0 to 1 (a Gini coefficient of 0 indicating perfect equality and a Gini coefficient of 1 indicating maximal inequality), on the basis of data from the 2010 Census.(24) The 2010 version of the Índice Paulista de Vulnerabilidade Social (IPVS, São Paulo State Social Vulnerability Index), developed by the São Paulo SEADE Foundation, was also used.(26) The IPVS encompasses several demographic and socioeconomic variables, such as level of education, per capita household income, age, and sex distribution. The population of each municipality was divided into the seven categories of vulnerability defined by the IPVS. In the present study, the indicator selected was the proportion of the municipal population classified as highly vulnerable (i.e., individuals in category 5, 6, or 7). Data from the Brazilian National Ministry of Health were used in order to assess primary care coverage (i.e., family health strategy program or equivalent) in each municipality.(25) Other São Paulo SEADE Foundation indicators used in the present study included proportion of pregnancies with at least seven antenatal visits and infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births.(13) All primary care indicators were obtained from mid-year values.
The 2013 WHO treatment outcome definitions were used, being adapted to the TBweb database definitions.(9,22) The outcomes are divided into desirable outcomes (i.e., treatment success) and undesirable outcomes, the latter including treatment failure, death, loss to follow-up, and not evaluated.(9,22)
Data analysis
Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median (interquartile range), depending on their distribution. Categorical variables were expressed as absolute numbers and proportions, being compared by Fisher's exact test or the chi-square test, as appropriate.
A multiple logistic regression model was used in order to evaluate the association between place of diagnosis and unsuccessful treatment outcome. Adjusted ORs were calculated, allowing for potential confounding factors defined a priori. Patient-related factors, as well as disease- and treatment-related factors, were selected on the basis of the literature. Patient-related factors included age, sex, country of birth, self-reported ethnicity, homelessness, level of education, alcohol use, drug use, diabetes mellitus, mental disorder, HIV status, and immunosuppression from etiologies other than HIV infection. Disease- and treatment-related factors included place of diagnosis, chest X-ray findings at diagnosis, microbiological status at diagnosis, initial drug regimen, and directly observed treatment. Given its importance among unsuccessful treatment outcomes, death was used as the dependent variable in a second multiple logistic regression model.
An additional analysis was performed at the municipal level. Initially, the number of cases and place of diagnosis were grouped by municipality. Subsequently, each indicator was tested in a univariate analysis as a predictor of diagnosis in EFs, the most important variables being retained in order to explain the variance in the outcome. When the same dimension was assessed by two different indicators, composite indicators were preferred over single indicators, multicollinearity being dealt with in the final model. In order to include the IPVS, which was available for all of the municipalities in the state of São Paulo, two final models were selected. All analyses were performed with the Stata statistical software package, version 13.1 (StataCorp LP, College Station, TX, USA), and the blogit command was used in order to run logistic models for grouped data at the municipal level.
Of a total of 62,178 patients who were diagnosed with tuberculosis between January of 2010 and January of 2013, 7,027 (11.3%) were excluded because they were prison inmates, 3,374 (5.4%) were excluded because they had been diagnosed through active case finding or contact tracing investigation, 696 (1.1%) were excluded because they had been diagnosed at autopsy, and 786 (1.3%) were excluded because there was no information regarding place of diagnosis. Therefore, the final sample consisted of 50,295 patients spontaneously seeking medical attention at health care units in the state of São Paulo.
The general characteristics of the patients analyzed in the present study are shown in Table 1. Most of the patients were young males. Of the sample as a whole, 55% had been diagnosed in an outpatient setting, 25% had been diagnosed in EFs, and 20% had been diagnosed in a hospital setting. In comparison with the patients who had been diagnosed in an outpatient or hospital setting, those who had been diagnosed in EFs were notably younger, the following being more common in the latter than in the former: being male, self-reporting mixed ethnicity, being homeless, using alcohol, using drugs, and having a low level of education. A diagnosis of tuberculosis during hospitalization was more common in patients with chronic disease (e.g., diabetes mellitus, HIV infection, and immunosuppression from etiologies other than HIV infection) than in those without it.

If you love the Lilywhites check out Shoot Music's Preston North End Fan Playlist for all the tracks, both classic and new, associated with North End!
The playlist also features songs from acts that support Preston, and even some classics from the Deepdale terraces.
Seasoned tier two regulars, North End have contested all but four of their seasons in what is now The Championship since the 2000-01 campaign.
Preston North End were one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888, and became it's first ever champion the following year. Some claim North End to be the original invincibles, as they contested the entirety of the 1888-89 season without losing a single match, winning 18 from 22 games and drawing the remaining 4.
The following season, the Lilywhites quickly followed up their initial success with another league title. However, this time around their victory was only by 2 points from nearest rivals Everton, and they were unable to repeat their unbeaten feat of the previous season. Their 1890 success remains North End's last top tier title. They have, however, finished runner up on no less than six times since (three of these successively following their 1890 title).
In addition to league success, North End have also landed the FA Cup on two occasions, winning every final they have appeared in.

Effect of thermal oxidation on the self-assembly of triblock terpolymers
TypeArticles dans des revues avec comité de lecture
JournalPolymer Degradation and Stability
This paper reports an investigation of the thermal degradation of a poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-methyl methacrylate) triblock terpolymer compared with those of butadiene rubbers and poly(styrene-b-methyl methacrylate). According to sol-gel properties changes, it was proposed that polybutadiene blocks undergo mainly crosslinking. However, these latter coexist with chain scissions occurring in polybutadiene blocks, which generates poly(butadiene-b-methyl methacrylate) and poly(butadiene-b-styrene) diblock chains, and possibly chain scissions occurring in polystyrene and poly(methyl methacylate) blocks. The consequences of the degradation on the self-assembly of triblock terpolymer were studied through the annealing kinetics monitored by Atomic Force Microscopy. It appears that at low conversion degrees, chain scissions induce a faster self-assembly kinetics. At higher oxidation degrees, crosslinking of butadiene phase combined with scissions induces a "frozen" state at high annealing times characterized by a macrophase separation.

+Ford Europe at the Geneva Motor Show 2018. Watch a recording of the opening press conference.
Top Ford moments from Geneva 2018
It's one of the most epic car chases in movie history.
Almost 10 minutes long, the iconic sequence in the Warner Bros. film "Bullitt" follows Steve McQueen at the wheel of a 1968 Mustang GT fastback as he chases two hitmen through the streets of San Francisco.
Our new special edition Ford Mustang Bullitt – celebrating the 50th anniversary the legendary film – has made its European debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
We enlisted the support of third-generation members of the McQueen family, Chase and Madison, to unveil the Mustang Bullitt. Steve McQueen's grandchildren – supported by their father, Chad McQueen – starred in their own car-chase scene set in the Swiss Alps surrounding Geneva, a homage to the iconic "Bullitt" chase-scene that still resonates with movie fans today.
Chase McQueen
"At home we're surrounded by memorabilia and reminders of our grandfather's role in 'Bullitt', and we've watched the film more times than I can remember, so to be part of launching the third-generation Mustang Bullitt here in Europe has been a special experience."
Mustang Bullitt is powered by Ford's 5.0-litre V8 engine enhanced to deliver an anticipated 464 PS.
Offered with a choice of Shadow Black or classic Dark Highland Green exterior colours, it will feature 19-inch Torq Thrust-style wheels, red Brembo™ brake callipers and a faux Bullitt fuel-filler cap, and goes into production for European customers in June.

The office of Speaker is almost as ancient as Parliament itself. It emerged in the Middle Ages when the Commons - the ordinary people - of England needed a spokesman in their dealings with the King, someone who would voice their grievances and present their petitions. This was by no means a safe or easy thing to do at that time, and potential spokesman generally had to be pressured into accepting the responsibility.john allen fraser
We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the war, but that they started it.

It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy.robert h. jackson

Portfolio Committee on Women's Affairs, Gender and Community Development Chairperson, Biata Beatrice Nyamupinga has pledged war in parliament as Zimbabwe's gender remains high in Zimbabwe. Nyamupinga was speaking during the Zimbabwe Gender Commission inaugural National Gender Forum in Harare today.
The Gender Portfolio Committee chairperson said that Zimbabwe Gender Commission has a lot of work to do to reduce inequality between men and women.
"Isu se commission ticharwa kuti government budget iyise mari yakawanda ku gender commission" (We as the Portfolio Committee on Women's Affairs, Gender and Community Development shall fight for more money to be allocated to the Zimbabwe Gender Commission) said Nyamupinga.
The National Gender Forum is being done with the main objective to define strategic actions needed to fully support women and men's equal participation in socio-economic and political spheres.
Chairperson of the Zimbabwe Gender Commission, Commissioner M. M Mukahanana-Sungaruve, who was giving welcome remarks for the ongoing forum said that with regards to economic empowerment, women still remain at the bottom of the economic ladder.
"Economic empowerment means women having access to income at household level, ownership of productive resources such as land and other assets,have own savings and have access to credit" said Mukahanana-Sungaruve.
"According to the research done out in 2015, out of 64 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of companies listed on the stock exchange (Zimbabwe Stock Exchange), only 3 CEOs were females (4.68% ) and out of the 103 CEOs of state owned parastatals there were only 15 female CEOs."
A study commissioned by Mckinsey Global Institute in 2015 notes that advancing women's equality could add $12 trillion to global growth over the next decade according to the Gender Commissioner.
Zimbabwe Gender Commission is a constitutional body that is meant to ensure that gender equality is achieved and promoted in terms of Section 245 of the country's constitution.
The body is holding a two-day inaugural National Gender Forum which is being attended by parliamentarians, representatives from the United Nations and civic society groups.
