Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Aug 24:
Serial death of animals in Odisha's Nandankanan zoo continues. As of yesterday, the species of Caiman crocodile and four-horned antelopes have been completely wiped out of the famed zoo.
The deaths have been occurring due to various reasons. While Bajabajia and Sahana diseases have been the major reasons behind the death of many antelopes in the zoo, a territorial fight and subsequent injury led to the death of the Caiman crocodile.
As per sources in the zoo, a 12-year old cow Nilgai died in enclosure number 67 yesterday due to the disease. Overall, five four-horned antelopes and three Nilgais have succumbed to the diseases since August 15. All five four-horned antelopes living in enclosure no. 64 have died leading to the end of the species in the zoo.
While zoo authorities have tried to use bleaching powder and limestone powder to make disinfect the enclosures, it has clearly not had the desired effect. An attempt by zoo authorities to vaccinate the antelopes as a precautionary measure ended in disaster as the panicky animals starting running helter-skelter leading to the death of two Nilgais that died because of injuries after colliding with the wired fence.
As of now, the authorities have not been able to come up with an alternative solution.
In another incident, the only Caiman male crocodile of the zoo died yesterday after a territorial fight with a Siamese crocodile on Saturday leading to the end of the species in the zoo.
The incident happened when the 35-year old Caiman crocodile crossed over his 47-A enclosure and entered the 47-B enclosure of the a Siamese crocodile. The 35-year old Siamese attacked the Caiman and bit off about a foot from his tail.
While the veterinary and staff of the zoo somehow managed to separate them and treated the Caiman, it succumbed to its injuries yesterday.
It may be noted that the Caiman was brought from Chennai zoo on October 18, 1986.

How systematic detection of amino acid substitutions in proteome reveals a mechanistic basis of ribosome errors
Getting a fix on when and where mistakes occur in the cellular manufacture of proteins is a challenge that many had a crack at. It took an extensive interdisciplinary collaboration across four labs (Weizmann Institute, CRI at INSERM/University of Paris, Max Planck Institutes and Tel-Aviv University) to accomplish this formidable mission. They found out that the genomic DNA contains a "mistake manual" of sorts, that dictates where these mistakes need to be avoided at all costs, and where they may be tolerated or even welcomed.
Errors in protein production occur most of the time in the ribosomes
In a recent study appeared in Molecular Cell, Prof. Yitzhak Pilpel (head of the Molecular Genetics Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science), Dr. Ariel Lindner (research director at INSERM and CRI co-founder at the Université de Paris), Prof. Tamar Geiger (Tel-Aviv University) and collaborators [1] , analysed and quantified errors in entire proteomes. They revealed that errors in protein production can originate from spelling mistakes in the DNA itself, but most commonly occur in the ribosome at the final stage of protein production, known as "translation."Wrong amino acids are inserted at this stage into a protein at the average rate of one in about 1,000 amino acids – that is, almost one mistake per protein. But the range is great: from one mistake in several dozen amino acids to one in about 10,000.
A mechanistic basis of ribosome errors
Mapping out the late-stage mistakes has until now been nearly impossible because all analyses yielded average numbers for all of the protein building blocks. We were able to signal the presence of errors but not where on the protein those errors had occurred. The project addressed this challenge by applying advanced algorithms to data obtained with a mass spectrometry method recently developed for studying individual substitutions of amino acids in a protein. The researchers then tested this approach on rapidly dividing yeast and bacterial cells.
They found out that the distribution of these mistakes is far from random. Mistakes are much more common in proteins expressed in the cell in smaller than in larger amounts. This is probably because the latter, more abundant proteins would clutter up the cell much sooner should they contain errors, so that the cell would not have survived in the course of evolution.
Moreover, within each protein, translation errors are much more common at positions that are less critical to the protein's function and stability than at the more crucial ones, for example, those sites responsible for binding to other molecules. Globally, mistakes are 'allowed' in positions where they are expected to be minimally detrimental, but not in the more sensitive positions. But how does the ribosome know when it's "allowed" to make mistakes ?
The study results suggest that the rate of mistakes at this stage is at least partially preprogrammed, and that such preprogramming might be achieved through the genetic regulation of translation speed. In fact, the scientists found an inverse correlation between translation speed and accuracy : the faster the ribosome turned out proteins, the more errors it made. Conversely, it appeared to be programmed to slow down when accuracy was essential, as if it was taking its time in order to do things right.
A new direction for multitude research topics
In a new study, the researchers also found that mistakes in translation can be triggered by external conditions : when they exposed dividing cells to an antibiotic, the rate of these mistakes increased. It might help establish whether translation mistakes play a role in the evolution of species by creating diverse proteins that may help the organism adapt to changing conditions.
All these findings could open up new directions of research. For example, further studies could examine, the role of translation mistakes in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Other studies could also determine whether these mistakes slow down or accelerate cancerous growth, or whether they speed up the aging process.

About the Sonatas from Wikipedia:
Biber's finest scordatura writing is represented in his set of violin sonatas, c. 1676 and is known variously as Mystery Sonatas, Rosary Sonatas (Mysterien Sonaten, Die Rosenkranz-Sonaten), Copper-Plate Engraving Sonatas, etc., remaining unpublished during the composer's lifetime. It comprises sixteen pieces: fifteen sonatas for violin and continuo portraying the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, and a long passacaglia for solo violin. Only the first and the last pieces use normal tuning; all others employ some form of scordatura:
Tuning for the violins in the various sonatas:
Although unpublished during the composer's lifetime, these works are his most popular pieces today, and one of the reasons for the revival of interest in Biber's music.
Single tickets will be available starting August 31

Jeff is the best husband ever I have decided. He always remembers the sweet things in life and makes sure I feel extra special. He may sometimes try to trick me into thinking he isn't going to do something romantic or sweet, or that he couldn't get what I wanted, but in the end he always comes out with the sweetest things. For Valentine's this year I was feeling pretty sick. I started with a cough on Friday and it just got worse from there. I ended up actually spending the whole weekend in bed. That didn't stop Jeff from being super sweet though. On Friday he surprised me with my absolute favorite treat Chocolate strawberries. He said that the store was sold out but he brought me some anyway. Then on Saturday he took me out to a nice lunch at Texas Roadhouse. It was so good. He then took me home and just held me and rubbed my back as I laid down sick all night. I really owe him big for taking such good care of me. He is really full of love. He must have learned it from all his sisters!!! Thanks hun! I love you.

The first instinct of most of us when it feels itching is to scratch it immediately. It is almost a reflex action upon which we don't think twice. We scratch with every bit of insistence and it is one of the sweetest feelings in the world; until only when it gets worse. The itch persists and we scratch it again with more urgency, only to make it worse, sometimes even to the point of bleeding. The cycle continues and without a permanent relief for the person.
It is common knowledge that the itch becomes worse when we scratch on it, despite the momentary respite. What is the reason behind it? The recent studies shed a light on it.
The itching can be caused by a number of things, including allergic conditions and skin problems like eczema. Various diseases like Cancer are also accompanied by itching which sometime would go on to persist for life even after the disease is cured. A permanent itchy skin is one of the worst things to suffer and seriously affects the rhythm of daily life.
The temporary relief we feel when we scratch on the itch is because of the mild sensation of pain produced by it. When we scratch on the itch, the pain from it masks the itching sensation. When the neurons in spinal cord sends pain signals to the brain, it would respond by producing a hormone called Serotonin, which is known as 'happy hormone'. Serotonin is a vital component in our body, which plays a seminal role in growth, bone metabolism and mood regulation.
The brain releases serotonin to control the pain since it does not want the pain to inhibit the body. But serotonin also activates the certain brain cells that intensify the itching sensation. These cells are called GRPR neurons. So, the every time we scratch, more serotonin is produced and it in turn further intensifies the itching sensation.
The fact was revealed in a study by the team of scientists from Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, headed by Zhou-Feng Chen. They carried out some experiments in mice, half of which were genetically modified so that they lacked the genes for serotonin production. When the mice were injected with itch-inducing substance, the genetically modified ones showed fewer propensities for scratching than the normal ones. When they were injected with serotonin again, they showed same scratching tendency as the normal ones.
The study proves that serotonin plays a major part in the itch cycle. Suppression of serotonin or the receptors through which the GRPR neurons communicate with the hormone are the only ways to solve this problem. However, both will impact the body system adversely and are not ideal.

From a young age, Lillea Goian always knew she wanted to leave her mark in the fashion industry. After moving to Vancouver to attend JCI straight out of high school, Lillea had already graduated from both the Fashion Business and Creative Arts and Core Design Programs shortly after her 19th birthday. She has been featured in Elle Canada, and her designs have been spotted on Canadian musician Peaches as well as American actor and singer, Noah Cyrus.
"The programs at JCI really helped me figure out exactly who I wanted to be in this world and I'm very grateful for the experiences and valuable information gained from both courses."
Born and raised in North Vancouver, Nelson B.C, and Malaysia, Lillea began the Fashion Business and Creative Art Program at JCI knowing that she wanted her own clothing label one day.
"Founder of Vetements and the creative director for Balenciaga, Denma Gvasalia, is a huge inspiration for me. His silhouettes and odd concepts really inspire me."
Lillea was first asked to showcase "Lillzkillz," (initially her Instagram handle), at Vancouver Fashion Week in September 2016. This collection consisted of vintage reworks, featured original art created by friends, and was all styled in the month leading up to the show.
From that moment onward, she fell in love with clothing construction and began dreaming of selling her pieces at VFILES in New York.
"I'd love to promote my work more in Europe and Japan and be able to see more fashion enthusiasts wearing my pieces over the next years."
Though she had already shown at VFW, Lillea felt as if she had more to learn about design and the technical world of garment manufacturing. This solidified the decision to enroll once again at JCI for the Core Fashion Design Program in July 2016.
"Seeing that the program was only 6 months long, I knew I wanted to gain a far more hands on experience. I also picked up full-time hours at a vintage store and began creating garments on my own time as well as selling my pieces online."
Lillea does both vintage reworks, "Lillzkillz," and created an extension line: "Profanity by Lillzkillz." This second line was inspired by the word itself and how it is frowned upon by the general public.
"My clothing represents something that a lot of people see as being odd or difficult to understand, which relates well to the term "profanity." I'm also known for the phrase "what the f*ck is she doing" which I feel ties in with profanity."
One of Lillea's prize moments was having American actress and singer, Noah Cyrus, wear a Profanity hoodie. The singer's stylist found Lillea through Instagram and she was later spotted at a press conference wearing Lillea's designs.
"80s punk and Vivienne Westwood's creations around that time inspired me because of the rebellious ways and I felt as if I could relate since my creations rebel against society. I like to include a bit of androgyny in my creations and my garments are not gender specific."
So far, the biggest obstacle has been building her own company from the ground up. Lillea has kept busy managing all aspects of her business since graduation.
"Establishing a business as a one woman show is a struggle and a learning experience—I'm really lucky to have supportive people in my life who want to see me succeed.
Lillea would suggest people to think outside the box, work hard and not give themselves any boundaries. Fashion is about individuality and doing things your own way.
"It's important to push yourself and work hard, it's the only way you'll see improvements."
As of now, Lillea is building her network within the industry while working on her clothing labels. When she's not working, she enjoys leaving the city for adventures and can be caught watching crime documentaries or listening to podcasts.

Community Supervision
Tackling Technical Probation and Parole Violations
Community supervision, such as probation and parole, is beneficial in lowering the fiscal impact of prisons and reducing overcrowding while helping people reintegrate into society. While community supervision has been considered an effective way to tackle prison populations, new data shows that parole and probation might be having adverse effects. A concerning reality of the probation and parole violations effects on prison populations has been discovered in a new analysis provided by The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center. These numbers are taken from corrections and community supervision leaders in 50 states and develops the first thorough look into the effects of these violations.
In 2017 there were a total of 590,234 admissions, 45% of which were due to technical violations or new offenses of probation or parole. A technical violation is misconduct by a person under supervision that by itself is not considered a criminal offense and usually does not result in an arrest. These include failing to report for an appointment with a supervision officer, failing a drug test, missing a curfew, contacting a victim, or lack of employment. Technical violations are responsible for nearly 1/4 of all state prison admissions, which can result in very hefty fees. Nearly 280,000 people are incarcerated on any given day in result of a supervision violation, costing states over $9.3 billion annually.
TRACKTech™ is working to reduce these violations by making it easier for supervisors and offenders to better communicate and avoid technical violations. Our products help with the rehabilitative process and making sure program members do not violate their parameters, continually check-in remotely with officers through biometric verification and have the ability to video conference with supervisors. They are constantly sent calendar reminders for appointments, court dates, meetings with supervisors and various other needs to alleviate the excuse of forgetting or not knowing the offender had them scheduled. Rehabilitative support is provided in an array of assessments and can suggest targeted therapeutic materials to the program member, while also aiding with obtaining employment and attending community groups. With TRACktech, supervisors can keep their program members under better supervision and reduce the risk of them receiving technical violations for controllable reasons.

Carter, McCaw help UNLV top UC Riverside 73-62
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) Ben Carter scored 15 points, Patrick McCaw had 14 to go with eight rebounds and a career-high seven steals, and UNLV survived a late charge from UC Riverside to hold on for a 73-62 win on Saturday night.
Leading 40-26 at the half, UNLV (8-2) built its lead to as many as 18 points and led 51-34 with 15:49 left to play. But Taylor Johns and Jaylen Bland combined for 13 points of a 15-1 run to pull UC Riverside (5-4) within three.
McCaw responded with a layup, jumper and 3-pointer to push the Runnin' Rebels in front by seven, and UNLV made 7 of 7 free throws in the final minute to seal it.
UC Riverside outrebounded UNLV 52-36 but lost the turnover battle 22-11. The Rebels turned 22 turnovers into 23 points to win their fifth in six games.

2019 influenza vaccines
Influenza seasons and severity are unpredictable. However, what we do know is that vaccination is the most important measure we have to prevent influenza and its complications.
Statement from the Chief Medical Officer
Influenza seasons and severity are unpredictable. However, what we do know is that vaccination is the most important measure we have to prevent influenza and its complications.
This year, more than 6 million doses have been secured to ensure Australians who are most at risk of getting sick during this year's flu season are able to access free influenza vaccines through the Government's National Immunisation Program.
Those eligible for a free flu shot under the National Immunisation Program include people 65 years and over, pregnant women, those who suffer chronic conditions as well as, for the first time, all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People from 6 months of age. Closing this gap means that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and adolescents aged 5-14 years of age will now be able to access the flu vaccine at no cost.
Annual vaccination is recommended for anyone six months of age and older, with those not eligible under the program able to purchase the vaccine on the private market.
The more people who are vaccinated, the less likely that the flu will spread in the community. Influenza is a major cause of illness in the Australian community, and in some cases can result in death.
It important to get the flu shot each year, as the virus changes each year. In addition we know that the protection provided by the previous year's vaccine diminishes over time.
This year there is a new A strain (H3N2) and a new strain for the B Victoria linage. Influenza virus strains included in the 2019 seasonal influenza vaccines are:
- A (H1N1): an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09 like virus
- A (H3N2): an A/Switzerland/8060/2017 (H3N2) like virus
- B: a B/Colorado/06/2017 like virus (not included in the trivalent vaccine)
- B: a B/Phuket/3073/2013 like virus
Four different quadrivalent influenza vaccine brands are being supplied under the Program in 2019 for people aged under 65. These are Afluria Quad® (Seqirus), Flu Quadri® and Flu Quadri Junior® (Sanofi) and Fluarix Tetra® (GSK).
To continue to provide the best possible protection for those 65 years and over, an enhanced trivalent vaccine, Fluad® (Seqirus), is being supplied for those aged 65 years and over.
Most people will develop immunity within two to three weeks of vaccination. Experts have advised there is recent evidence suggesting that protection following influenza vaccination may begin to wane. As influenza usually occurs from June, with the peak around August, vaccinating from mid-April 2019 will allow people to develop immunity before influenza transmission is at its peak. You can also speak with your doctor for advice on the best time to receive your vaccine, based on your individual circumstances.
For more information about the influenza vaccine, speak to your GP or other immunisation provider or visit www.health.gov.au/immunisation
National Immunisation Information Line
Call us on 1800 671 811 for general advice and information about immunisation, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5pm Australian Eastern Standard Time. For individual medical/clinical advice, please consult your GP or other health care provider.

What a day! I am very lucky that my doctors office offers a sick clinic on Saturday mornings, I did not get to see my doctor just one of the partners. My doctor would have prescribed regular amoxicillin that you can get for free at Giant Eagle, this guy gave me amoxicillin with clavulanate that cost me $25.00. I was too sick to care and I do feed drastically better after one dose. It was yesterday when I knew that my cold had turned, the taste is different. I had originally thought sinus infection until I woke up this morning with a cough and upper respiratory infection it is. I should have been home resting all day……not this girl.
I had a hair color appointment at 10:30 so I was able to some of my running around done after my doctors appointment. Post office (more Christmas presents), Walmart (vacuum bags), Giant Eagle (prescription), and Chick Fil A ( September calendar freebie)……that last one caused some problems. The boy wanted a haircut and was aware of the wait he was going to have and the girl was still sleeping….the freebie was a breakfast sandwich that I gave the boy and a free large drink that I put in the fridge for the girl….I heard about her breakfast deprivation all day. It didn't help that boy went on and on about how the biscuit just melted in his mouth….kids!
Then my hair color debacle began. I opted for red highlights and as always she was overbooked and behind. The first red didn't take so she reapplied with a higher something or other and I had to drive with the foil on my head because the girl had a homecoming float committee meeting. It was a miracle that nobody saw me and that I didn't blind another driver.
I came back and still nothing so I told her that I am just taking it as a sign and just throw some caramel highlights in there. I actually like the way it came out, I have one red stripe in my bangs and the rest is rust. I was there minus the 1/2 driving to take the girl……4 hours. I swear if she wasn't so nice and so economical I would be gone…that was just crazy!
In this picture after running around all day is too curly……I have yet to master the Sebastian web styling goop and it looks red in this picture….but it really isn't. The girl was right it is hard for me to have messy hair, even if it is on purpose.
The sophomore float looks pretty awesome, Welcome to the Jungle is their theme. The one girl has some serious artistic talent that I hope she pursues someday. The parade is Wednesday and it will be one of those days when we are not eating until after 7:30, I better come up with something to put in the crockpot.
I need to rest up this weekend and what do I do? I stop at the local farm and buy a 1/2 bushel of plum tomatoes. Tomorrow I will be making chili, canning tomato juice, and making and canning small jars of sauce….I now know I am crazy! The girl has other ideas for my time since The Walking Dead season 4 comes to Netflix tomorrow…..it's going to be a long day. On the plus side Once Upon a Time is new tomorrow…..I get to watch t.v. again!
I found another audio book to listen to, it's different……
If I was reading it, there would be a lot of skipping over the botany parts….they are pretty excessive. I can't say that I am attached to the main character, but I am curious. There was a whole section on this girl discovering masturbation and how she "goes to the binding closet" to perform it. That is binding as in book binding and it just cracks me up when she mentions going to the binding closet. The nice thing about books on cd is that while I listened to 15 chapters or so I was able to organize my closet. The OCD in me is happy that there are sections…short sleeve, t shirt, 3/4 length sleeve,long sleeve,plaid and dress shirts,sweaters,Halloween,Christmas,sport themes. I got rid of a few pairs of shoes and now my shelf is all labeled and organized. I think that if I had the time and did not have kids…..my house would be scary spotless and organized, instead of scary cluttered and chaotic.
It is almost 11 and I have laundry in the washer and dryer and I need to go cut up the two batches of rice crispy treats that I made tonight, while cleaning off the once again buried kitchen table. Drowning in clutter……Zia

Stayers Hurdle Tips - 3:30pm Cheltenham
2019 Stayers Hurdle Preview
The Stayers Hurdle has proved to be the most open of the four Championship races in recent years and with winners at 10/1, 12/1 and 14/1 in three of the last four renewals and hence also been a tricky one for punters.
Last year's winner was Penhill trained by Willie Mullins, it was a superb performance made even more worthy as it was his first run of the season. The 8yo has been a late withdrawal this time around and it leaves the yard relying on Faugheen.
Supasundae was beaten two lengths in the race last year and unfortunately for him he's caught between the Champion Hurdle over two miles and this race over three. Ideally he probably wants somewhere in between so the ground may be the all-important deciding factor on where he turns up.
This season so far he has finished second to Apple's Jade in the Hatton Grace Hurdle (2m4f) and then was second again in the Ryanair Hurdle over the minimum trip behind Sharjah. He got boxed in at the wrong time in that race so the end result was a decent effort.
Faugheen would be a very popular winner, the former Champion Hurdler has been a tad unlucky over the last year. He was a disappointing 6th behind Buveur d'Air last march and then went on to beat Penhill in the Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown. That was a terrific effort and all seemed to be back on track.
This season Faugheen has yet to show us he retains that sort of form, he was heavily beaten by Sharjah in the Morgiana Hurdle when long odds on and then fell two out when attempting to foil Apple's Jade in the Christmas Hurdle over this sort of trip. He had yet to be asked the question by Ruby Walsh when he went down so you would have to respect his chances in this company and with Apple's Jade out of the way as she looks certain to go down the Mares Hurdle route.
The home challenge is looking a bit on the weak side, last years third Wholestone goes well at Cheltenham but hasn't improved any during this campaign so it's difficult to see him getting involved at the moment.
The likes of Mountain Shadow and Paisley Park are the new kids on the block and it may be worth looking a bit closer at those two.
Paisley Park is another youngster on the upgrade, he has won four races this season and went up 16lbs in the official ratings in his first 3 starts . His rise entitles the 7yo to have a go in this higher grade and we undoubtedly have yet to see the ceiling this horse could reach.
His effort when winning the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot was very solid form, he beat West Approach and Top Notch that day who are both very decent yardsticks. He seems to go any ground and stays the trip well.
The youngster confirmed his promise in no uncertain terms when bolting up in the Cleeve Hurdle at the trials meeting. He stormed home well clear of a decent field and a repeat of that effort would give him every chance here. Trainer Emma Lavelle is in no doubt that he has more to offer and could be the one to beat.
Trainer Tom George has an option to send Black Op back over hurdles after a false start over the bigger obstacles this season. He hasn't looked a natural for some reason in two Novice Chases so far and last years Ballymore Hurdle runner-up could turn out to be a useful staying hurdler. We all remember Big Bucks doing something similar all those years ago.
The 8yo finished third at Cheltenham on his first try at the trip and wasn't disgraced behind the runaway winner Paisley Park, he should come on for that outing and has each way claims.
Willie Mullins also saddles Bacardys who fell at the last in this race twelve months ago. He was staying on and would have finished in the money so has to be given a squeak here. He has been chasing so far this season, without much success it has to be said so the switch back to hurdles is probably plan B. Bapaume is another of the Mullins battalion, he is the choice of Paul Townend and comes here after finishing second to Presenting Percy at Gowran Park in January. That form is pretty decent and could be a live outsider.

Farmers of Light
i bless this darkness
for without it
i would never do this work
i would be distracted continually
but in the dark
robbed of my sight
i must look inward
and while it is painful
i bless the wisdom
in me
that brought me here
i will try to be the best
student i can
of the night
for i sense
the quality of
myself here
is the quality that will come with me
as i walk through the rest of my days
and my willingness to really
roll up my sleeves
to do the hard work
will determine my experience here
in the long night of my soul
and will determine the length
of my stay
and will determine
i think
even the length and quality
of my return to day
so quiet...body
i know you are afraid
you crawl out of your skin
with the fear that
this darkness is here
and quiet...mind
on your mirror image
see the starlight within
and grow those points of light out
until the light swells across our internal
spilling outward
we are not in the business of
fighting darkness
we are farmers of light
so stay quiet...body
stay focused...mind
stare at the stars
quiet yourself
and know
i am alive in here

I Can Carry This
one day you finally knew
what you had to do..and began
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles
"mend my life!"
each voice cried
but you didn't stop
you knew what you had to do
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations
though their melancholy
was terrible
it was already late
enough..and a wild night
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones
but little by little
as you left their voices behind
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world
determined to do
the only thing you could do...
determined to save
the only life you could save
its up to me

"so much depends upon the lighting of this fire...
so neatly laid. a platform of kindling...a floor of
fine twigs snapped from the underside of a fir...
a nest of shredded bark over which broken pine
branches are balanced to draw the flame upward.
plenty of fuel...plenty of oxygen. all the elements
are in place. but without the spark it is only a pile
of dead sticks. so much depends on the spark."

Background: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge to ART success. Despite extensive research a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of the process of implantation remain elusive. Historically, it has been assumed that the window of implantation is always constant in all women. However, molecular analyses of endometrial receptivity demonstrate a personalized WOI (pWOI) that is displaced in one out of four patients with recurrent implantation failure. Here, we report a clinical case of successful pET after one fresh and three frozen embryo transfer failure
Case description:A 31-year-old women with primary infertility, grade 4 endometriosis and recurrent implantation failures underwent embryo transfer in the personalized window of implantation as guided by the ERA test and had a successful ART outcome.
Conclusion:In the era of personalized medicine, a "one size fits all" policy is no longer acceptable and performing a personalized embryo transfer in patients with RIF as guided by the ERA test maybe the way forward.
Clinical significance: Diagnosis of endometrial receptivity has posed a challenge because of the lack of accurate, non-invasive, and clinically applicable tests. However, performing the Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) test which is a customized array based on the transcriptomic signature of human endometrium helps to improve the reproductive outcomes in patients with RIF.
Keywords: Endometrial receptivity analysis; personalized embryo transfer; Recurrent implantation failures
After four decades of IVF, implantation failure still remains a major challenge to ART success. Human implantation is a multifaceted, finely orchestrated event requiring the presence of a healthy embryo, a receptive endometrium, successful embryo-endometrial cross talk and maternal immune protection of the allograft [1]. The most important causes of implantation failure include embryo aneuploidy, altered endometrial receptivity and immune dysregulation. Modern tools like genomics and bioinformatics help us in determining the personalized WOI. Our case report shows how performing an embryo transfer in the pWOI can make a difference after several previous IVF attempts.
Case Report
Mrs S.B. 31-year-old presented to us as a case of primary infertility with grade 4 endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure. She had a married life of 4 years, regular menstrual cycles with previous h/o congestive dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. She had undergone a laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy along with adhesiolysis in view of chronic pelvic pain three years back. Post her surgery for endometriosis she underwent 4 cycles of ovulation augmentation with both oral ovulogens and gonadotropins followed by 3 cycles of IUI. She underwent two consecutive IVF attempts two years back. In her first cycle she had a fresh embryo transfer in which 2 d3 embryos were transferred followed by a frozen embryo transfer in which two good quality blastocysts were transferred. In her second IVF cycle a freeze all strategy was employed, and she underwent two frozen embryo transfers, each involving transfer of two good quality blastocysts. However, her urine pregnancy test was however negative.
We planned on another cycle of IVF followed by a frozen embryo transfer (in the pWOI as guided by the ERA test).We followed the flexible antagonist protocol and ovarian stimulation was started with 300 IU recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (follitropin-alfa Gonal-f®, EMD Serono, Inc.,) guided by her age 31 years ,AMH-1.9ng/ml ,AFC 5/6 and BMI 24.5kg/m2 for first 5 days followed by Menopur (highly purified HMG-Ferring Pharmaceutical Ltd.) 300 iu for another 4 days. GnRH antagonist (Cetrolix, Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) was started according to the flexible protocol. On day 9 of her stimulation her estradiol levels were 2357pg/ml and progesterone level were 0.87ng/ml with an endometrial thickness of 7.4mm. Inj human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) 5000 IU with triptorelin 0.2mg s/c was given as the trigger. Oocyte retrieval was performed 35 hours later under general anesthesia, using transvaginal ultrasound guidance. We retrieved 11 oocytes out of which 9 fertilized and we had 6d3 good quality embryos that were cryopreserved.
We performed the endometrial receptivity analysis in the next cycle to determine the personalized window of implantation. ERA was performed in an HRT cycle in which estradiol valerate was started in a dose of 2 mg (after performing a tvs on day 2); was increased to 6 mg till an appropriate endometrial thickness of 7.8 mm was achieved. This was followed by administration of vaginal progesterone suppository 400 mg twice a day for 5 days starting from day 12 of HRT after ensuring that the serum progesterone was less than 0.9ng/ml. An endometrial biopsy was performed using the pipelle catheter from Gynetics and the endometrial tissue was transferred to a cryotube containing 1.5 mL RNA stabilizing agent (Qiagen), vigorously shaken for a few seconds, and kept at 4°C in refrigerator for 4 h which was later transported to the Igenomix lab. ERA result came as post receptive (p+4.5 receptive) and it was recommended to perform the blastocyst transfer 12 hours prior to the scheduled time. A downregulated frozen embryo transfer was performed in which two good quality blastocysts were transferred a traumatically under ultrasound guidance as suggested by the ERA test. Luteal phase support in the form of Inj uterine 50 mg daily along with vaginal micronized progesterone 400mg bd was given. Her urine pregnancy test was positive after 14 days. An ultrasound performed one week later showed a single intrauterine pregnancy with a gestational sac diameter corresponding to 5w2d.
Recurrent implantation failure remains a major challenge even after four decades of ART. Approximately 10% of couples undergoing IVF are faced with the issue of RIF. Polanski et al in 2014 [2] suggested that RIF should be defined as the absence of implantation after two consecutive cycles of IVF, ICSI or frozen embryo replacement cycles where the cumulative number of transferred embryos was no less than four for cleavage-stage embryos and no less than two for blastocysts, with all embryos being of good quality and of appropriate developmental stage .Important causes of implantation failure include embryo aneuploidy,, altered endometrial receptivity and a dysregulation of the immune system.
Diagnosis of endometrial receptivity has posed a challenge because of the lack of accurate, non-invasive, and clinically applicable tests. Histological, biochemical, and ultrasound markers of ER have been proposed for use to improve implantation rates (IRs) in IVF. Unfortunately, most of these methods are unreliable and do not have any predictive value. However, with the coming up of the ERA test we can have a better insight of the endometrial receptivity. It is a customized array based on the transcriptomic signature of human endometrium and analyzes the expression levels of 248 genes linked to the status of endometrial receptivity, using RNA sequencing with the help of NGS [3]. It involves use of an informatic predictor that analyzes the gene expression data and classifies the endometrium as "Receptive" or "Non-Receptive" with a sensitivity of 0.997 and a specificity of 0.885 and helps us to determine the pWOI [4].
Studies have shown that in patients with endometriosis there is a dysregulation of selected genes in the endometrium leading to impaired embryonic attachment, embryotoxicity and apoptosis during the window of implantation. Several molecules involved in implantation have been shown to be differently expressed in patients with endometriosis including reduced expression of the cellular adhesion molecule αvβ3 integrin and altered expression of methylation of HOXA10, a potent stimulator of αvβ3 expression. However, there is still a lack of conclusive evidence to prove the role of endometriosis in altering the endometrial receptivity [5]. ERA is a step forward in improving ART outcomes by personalizing embryo transfers in patients with RIF. It is the most objective and accurate test available today for diagnosing endometrial receptivity and is extremely beneficial in patients with RIF. Studies have shown that in about 25 percent of patients with RIF there is a displacement in the WOI which could be caused by some intrinsic genomic alterations and so personalizing our embryo transfers might help to improve the reproductive performance in these patients [4].
In the era of personalized medicine, a "one size fits all" policy is no longer acceptable and performing an embryo transfer in patients with RIF as guided by the ERA test which allows synchronization between the blastocyst and a receptive endometrium—a key factor in promoting implantation; is the way forward.

Alissa Cook-Gray, 17, expressed in class that she admires Tommy Robinson and what he is doing to fight for daughters and women in Britain. The political debate took place on the first day of their art and employability course, according to StokeonTrentLive.
Her classmates were sharing of their support for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn when she shared her support of Tommy and that she identifies more with ring-wing ideologies. After sharing her views, a teacher told her: "Get out, we don't want people with your views."
Alissa felt she had no choice but to quit her course at Total People in Crewe, Cheshire, having only been in an hour of lessons, and is "terrified" to go back.
Miss Cook-Gray chose the course as a "fresh start" hoping to gain her qualifications in maths and English prior to taking an apprenticeship.
She says: "The tutor said she would have a word with the others but when I went in I felt quite uncomfortable because of what happened.
"Everyone should be allowed to have their own opinion but I felt mine was just shot down. I'm terrified and I don't want to go back."
Her dad, Gareth Cook, 38, says the training centre should not discriminate whether about race, religion or political views. He further said: "I'm absolutely fuming at what happened and they should not have turned around and said she might not be able to continue with the course.
"She had to sit there and put up with opinions she doesn't agree with and they only reacted like this because it's Tommy Robinson. I'm a big fan and think the guy is a legend but this is how people react when they hear his name."
Alissa shares that: "I was given a final warning for being too right wing. It was the first day and we were all having a conversation when Jeremy Corbyn came up, I asked people not to get into it because I was filled with a room of lefties.
"I said my opinion and the teacher said 'get out, we don't want people with your views'. I was given a final warning for being too right wing.
"The class then started asking everyone who their favourite person was and I said Tommy Robinson. I like what he is doing for our country and I follow all of his stories – I think he is a saviour."
A spokesperson for Total People gave a statement claiming they are an inclusive organisation, however, the damning evidence refutes their claims.

OnePlus Chief Executive Officer Pete Lau on Monday shared even more sample photographs taken with the OnePlus 6, revealing the four images that can be seen in the gallery below. While Weibo ended up compressing the imagery in such a manner that any fine detail that was present in the originals is now lost, the samples serve as yet another suggestion that the upcoming Android flagship will boast a wider dynamic range and improved low-light performance compared to the OnePlus 5T.
The OnePlus 6 has already been leaked on numerous occasions in recent weeks and the Chinese company itself has been sharing some information about the device as well so as to keep it in the 24-hour news cycle as long as possible. The end result is the longest OnePlus teaser campaign to date that's been ongoing for a month and a half now and revealed the handset will have some sort of an IP rating, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 chip, up to 8GB of RAM, and a maximum of 256GB of storage space. The imaging capabilities of the OnePlus 6 remain a mystery, with leaks pointing to a dual-camera setup and industry watchers speculating the system is similar to the one found inside the OnePlus 5T but no concrete information on the matter making its way to the World Wide Web.
The last Android offering from OnePlus paired a 20-megapixel sensor with a 16-megapixel one and lacked a telephoto lens, with its successor possibly following suit. OnePlus already mentioned artificial intelligence technologies as being part of its next camera package but has yet to elaborate on the matter, though the implications of that teaser largely come down to a smart Beautification mode and improved scene recognition, as is the case with select OPPO-made handsets. The front camera of the OnePlus 6 will reside inside of a screen cutout and likely utilize a 16-megapixel sensor, whereas both systems should support Portrait mode. The OnePlus 6 is set to be announced tomorrow and will go on sale globally by the end of the month.

Need some motivation to hit the gym? Sit on the couch for 1-2 more hours with some almonds, fresh fruit, or other healthy snack to much on (NO buttery pop-corn!) and get inspiration from these movies!
Million Dollar Baby
In this Oscar winning movie, Hilary Swank not only learned to move and box like a real fighter, but drastically changed her physique by heavy weight lifting.
Watching these rock hard bodies fight for 3 hours is sure gonna make you want to hit the weights hard.
Cliche, yes, but it will get you fired up either way. Any of the Rocky movies should do the trick. I recommend putting the theme song on your ipod for an extra boost when you finally do make it to the gym!
GI Jane
Demi Moore been recruited as the first female SEAL trainee through a series of backroom political maneuvers, and must prove her military staying power against formidable odds–not the least of which is the abuse of a tyrannical master chief who puts her through hell to improve her chances of success.
Dirty Dancing
Wanted to include one for you ladies, even though I hope you get motivated to pump some iron as well! But if dancing is your thing…this should do the trick. Zumba anyone?
Supersize Me
Hopefully this one will kill 2 birds with one stone. No more fast food!!! And get your butt in gear!
Fight Club
Aggressive male machoism at its best. Rather than being monstrous, Brad's ripped physique was lean and cut. This is a tough physique to achieve… hard to be done without good genetics, personal trainers, and a 24/7 chef.
What other movies motivate you to hit the gym???

The study sought to understand the factors that facilitate women to adhere to treatment and return to health facilities for routine care from their own perspective. The researchers focused on Malawi, Uganda and Zambia, early adopters of the global guidance to provide lifelong treatment for pregnant women living with HIV (Option B+) and spoke to women living with HIV, healthcare workers and programme managers to discover which factors and practices show promise in supporting women to initiate and remain in care.
This study found that women living with HIV who access these services to prevent vertical transmission have a strong sense and understanding of what factors support their retention and how health facilities, the wider community and their friends and relations can best support them. This report shares their words to describe how it feels to walk in their shoes on the path of life long treatment.
