COVID-19 treatments: What else is in the works?
At present, there are no definitive treatments for COVID-19. Remdesivir, which is currently undergoing testing, appears to be the most promising thus far, and was recently granted emergency use authorization by the FDA* for the treatment of suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 in adults and children hospitalized with severe disease. [FDA, https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-issues-emergency-use-authorization-potential-covid-19-treatment, accessed 6 May 2020] More than 300 clinical trials are ongoing in the search for a cure. Some of the treatments being tested were previously used, with varying levels of efficacy, in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).
In a recently published review in JAMA, Dr James Cutrell from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, US, and co-authors summarized some of the main drugs being tested as potential treatments for COVID-19. [JAMA 2020;doi:10.1001/jama.2020.6019]
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine
These two drugs have been used to treat malaria, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and sarcoidosis. [Lancet Infect Dis 2003;3:722-727]
High-quality evidence supporting their use for SARS or MERS is unavailable. In a small study of 36 patients with COVID-19, virological clearance with hydroxychloroquine was greater than that with standard of care (SoC; 70 percent vs 12.5 percent; p=0.001) at day 6 post-treatment. Moreover, the six patients who received azithromycin plus hydroxychloroquine had greater viral clearance than those who received hydroxychloroquine only (100 percent vs 57.1 percent; p<0.001). [Int J Antimicrob Agents 2020;doi:10.1016/j.ijantimicag.2020.105949]
Conversely, a small study of 30 patients in China showed no significant difference in virological clearance at day 7 between patients who received hydroxychloroquine plus SoC or SoC alone (86.7 percent vs 93.3 percent; p>0.05). [J Zhejiang Univ (Med Sci) 2020;doi:10.3785/j.issn.1008-9292.2020.03.03]
More research is needed before the azithromycin-hydroxychloroquine regimen is used in COVID-19, noted Cutrell and co-authors. The small sample size and the potential cardiotoxicity with combination therapy warrant consideration. Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, while well tolerated, can cause rare adverse effects. Further research is also needed to identify the optimal dose for COVID-19 treatment.
Approved in Russia and China for the prevention and treatment of influenza, umifenovir was associated with reduced mortality and increased likelihood of hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19 compared with non-recipients. However, the observational study design prevents conclusions from being drawn. [Clin Infect Dis 2020;doi:10.1093/cid/ciaa272] A randomized trial is underway in China to establish the efficacy of this drug. [https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04260594, accessed 21 April 2020]
A review of 30 studies assessing the effect of ribavirin in SARS produced inconclusive findings, with some studies suggesting potential harm. [PLoS Med 2006;3;e343] There was also no notable effect in clinical outcomes or viral clearance with a ribavirin-interferon combination in the treatment of MERS. [Clin Infect Dis 2020;70:1837-1844]
"The inconclusive efficacy data with ribavirin for other [novel coronaviruses] and its substantial toxicity [eg, haemolytic anaemia, transaminase elevations] suggest that it has limited value for treatment of COVID-19. If used, combination therapy likely provides the best chance for clinical efficacy," said Cutrell and co-authors.
Interferon-α and -β
Published studies looking at the combination of interferons with ribavirin or lopinavir/ritonavir for SARS and MERS suggest that the effects may be affected by timing of treatment administration. [Expert Opin Drug Discov 2019;14:397-412]
Due to conflicting evidence and the lack of clinical trials investigating the efficacy of this group of drugs, interferon-α and -β are not currently recommended for COVID-19. However, α-interferon is listed as a potential therapeutic option in China. [National Health Commission and State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, https://www.chinalawtranslate.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Who-translation.pdf, accessed 21 April 2020]
"[I]t remains to be seen whether [other immunomodulatory agents] confer protection for patients already taking them for other indications," said Cutrell and co-authors.
A post hoc analysis of a 240-patient randomized study showed that favipravir induced greater clinical recovery at 7 days compared with umifenovir in patients with moderate COVID-19 infections (71.4 percent vs 55.9 percent; p=0.019). However, there was no between-group difference observed for severe infections. [medRxiv 2020;doi:10.1101/2020.03.17.20037432]
Further investigation is necessary to determine the efficacy of favipravir for COVID-19, said Cutrell and co-authors.
Having shown in vitro activity against MERS and SARS-CoV-2, the broad-spectrum antiviral and antiparasitic drug nitazoxanide is being investigated as a potential treatment for COVID-19. [COVID-19 Science Report, https://sph.nus.edu.sg/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/COVID-19-Science-Report-Therapeutics-20-Apr.pdf, accessed 21 April 2020]
A randomized trial of 199 adults with SARS-CoV-2 infection showed that combining lopinavir-ritonavir with SoC did not speed up clinical improvement compared with SoC alone (median 16 days in each group). The mortality rate was numerically but not significantly lower with lopinavir-ritonavir vs SoC (16.7 percent vs 25.0 percent), while intensive care stay was shorter with lopinavir-ritonavir (median 6 vs 11 days). [N Engl J Med 2020;doi:10.1056/NEJMoa2001282]
Despite these findings, it remains to be seen if the timing of lopinavir-ritonavir administration could affect certain outcomes of COVID-19, said the researchers. Future studies should investigate the effect of combining lopinavir-ritonavir with other antiviral agents.
A study from China showed that prior to identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the cause of COVID-19, most patients in the study received empirical oseltamivir due to the mistaken assumption that their symptoms were due to influenza. [JAMA 2020;323:1061-1069] However, it has been established that upon exclusion of influenza, oseltamivir has no role in COVID-19 treatment.
Current advice
Both the CDC and WHO** advise against corticosteroid use unless required for other indications such as exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or septic shock. [CDC, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-guidance-management-patients.html; WHO, https://www.who.int/publications-detail/clinical-management-of-severe-acute-respiratory-infection-when-novel-coronavirus-(ncov)-infection-is-suspected, accessed 21 April 2020]
There are also limitations pertaining to the use of repurposed medications for COVID-19, such as the potential of toxicity outweighing the benefits, said Cutrell and co-authors.
"[T]he [current] cornerstone of care for patients with COVID-19 remains supportive care, ranging from symptomatic outpatient management to full intensive care support," they said.

Results from Soybean Management Field Day Nutrient Management Trials - UNL CropWatch Dec. 28, 2011
January 3, 2012
Soybean yield can be increased by integrating the genetic potential of soybean with sustainable agronomic practices and yield-increasing practices appropriate for current field and seasonal weather conditions.The 2011 Soybean Management Field Days included trials to test various practices for achieving high yields. The results of these trials will be released in a series of CropWatch stories this winter.
|Table 1. Soil properties and mean yield for the four Soybean Management Field Day research sites of 2011.
|M3 P, ppm
|K, ppm
|S, ppm
|Zn, ppm
|Mean Yield, bu/ac
Starter N application is commonly practiced in the northern U.S. and High Plains soybean production areas and is of particular interest in high residue situations.
Two sets of field trials were conducted to evaluate soybean response to nutrient management and other practices. The "starter/foliar" and "high yield" trials were conducted on-farm at the four 2011 Soybean Management Field Day sites near Bancroft, Elba, Clay Center (SCAL), and Cortland (Table 1). All sites were in corn in 2010 and rotated to soybean in 2011. Crop residue cover of soil was 95% at Bancroft and 45-65% elsewhere. All trials were planted in early May, but cool weather delayed seedling establishment.
Starter N application is commonly practiced in the northern U.S. and High Plains soybean production areas and may be of particular interest in high residue situations. Injection of 15 lb/ac N two inches to the side of the row resulted in a 6% yield increase in Brookings, S.D.
Foliar nutrient application is much promoted but previous research showed a low probability of profitable response from its use compared to traditional, well-managed soil fertility. New products such as those with slow release N may be effective and needed to be evaluated.
In addition, growth promoters and other practices used alone or in combination with other practices may be effective in increasing yield in already high-yield situations.
Starter/Foliar Trial
Treatments were:
1) control with no starter N, foliar application, or row cleaning
2) row cleaning only
3 & 4) 5 or 10 lb/ac N in-furrow
5 & 6) 10 lb/ac N injected two inches to the side of the seed furrow or applied over the row
7, 8 & 9) foliar N application at V4, R2 (full bloom), or both at V4 and R2
10) starter plus foliar N application at V4 and R2
Planting was in 30-inch rows at about 150,000 seeds per acre, and without row cleaning, except for treatment 2. Starter N was applied as UAN diluted with water to reduce risk of seedling damage. The foliar treatment was a combination of Nachurs N-Rage (N-P-K 23-4-2 with 0.05% Mn; the N is 67% triazone; rate = 2 gal/ac) and Nachurs SoyGrow (0.36% Fe, 0.5% Mg, 2.6% Mn, and 1.5% Zn; rate = 1 pt/ac).
Early plant growth was not affected by starter N application except at the high-residue Bancroft site where early growth was increased with 10 lb/ac N injected in-furrow or 2-inch to the side of the row. However, this did not result in increased yield. Mean yield was two bu/ac more with foliar application at R2 compared with the control, but other treatments had no effect on yield at all locations (Table 2).
High Yield Trial
Five practices were evaluated for their effect on soybean yield:
- Breaking apical dominance at V2 to increase branching and pod number
- Applying 5 lb/ac starter N in furrow with split emitters
- Applying foliar nutrient NPK + micronutrient (as above) at R2
- Adding BioForge seed treatment at 4 oz/cwt
- Adding Optimize 400 seed treatment
This was an omission or minus-one trial so that the effect of practices could be tested in the presence of all other practices.
Treatments included:
- None of these practices used
- A full package with all five practices used
- Five treatments which consisted of the full package minus one of the above five practices.
- Full package with plants clipped at the second trifoliate stage to break apical dominance replaced by a 12 oz/ac lactofen "Cobra" application
The sites were tilled and planted in 20-inch rows. A strobilurin fungicide was applied at R2 and 25 lb/ac N was soil applied at R3 (beginning pod development) for all plots.
Starter N was applied as diluted UAN in furrow by injecting 5 lb/ac N in the seed furrow using split emitters to minimize N contact with the germinating seed and avoid seedling injury. Foliar nutrient application was as above at the R2 growth stage. Seed was treated with BioForge at 4 oz per 100 cwt to promote vigorous early root growth for improved nutrient and water uptake. Seed was treated with Optimize 400 to promote plant growth and ensure good nodulation for N fixation.
The effects of these practices were consistent for all locations. Clipping and Cobra (lactofen) application reduced yield (Table 3). The other treatments had no positive or negative effect on yield.
- Mean yield was 66 bu/ac in the starter/foliar trial and less in the high yield trial. Treatments had little or no effect on yield and these results from four locations should discourage use of all the practices tested, especially clipping or Cobra application to break apical dominance. Still, it is possible that some of the practices tested may be useful in much higher yield situations.
- Further evaluation of the foliar nutrient application at R2 is justified. NRage and Soygrow might be tested separately to confirm the yield increase and determine which nutrients might cause the yield increase.
- Starter N application had a good test at Bancroft where crop residue cover was heavy and cool weather followed planting. While some starter N treatments enhanced growth, this did not translate to increased yield.
- Treating seed with Bradyrhizobia inoculum is encouraged where soybean has not been grown for four or more years or where flooding occurred, but the results do not support routine inoculation for the corn-soybean rotation.

Variety of apples Black Prince: description, benefits and growing a tree on the site
There is a huge variety of varieties of apples, the characteristics of which are able to satisfy even the most demanding gardeners. However, how can one not get confused in such a variety and choose a really worthy variety. Black Prince apples belong to new promising varieties, whose advantages have been repeatedly noted by many summer residents.
Creation of the Black Prince variety
The Black Prince is a direct descendant of the world-famous Jonagold variety, which was bred by an American group of breeders in the middle of the twentieth century. Paying tribute to the high characteristics of the new variety, gardeners from all over Europe began to actively plant Jonagold apple trees in their plots. Such widespread popularity led to the emergence of a large number of clones (only about 100 different sub-varieties).
Check out such apple varieties as fall:
The Black Prince apples are among the most successful attempts and were originally called red prince or Wiltons Red Johnprinz. Today, this variety is widespread in Europe, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, however, having low winter hardiness, which is explained by the producer country (Belgium), the southern regions, as well as the middle-zone regions in Russia, will be the best places to grow the Black Prince.
Description and characteristics of the variety
Black Prince apples belong to mid-early autumn varieties, the maturity of which occurs in the second half of September, however, depending on climatic and weather conditions, these dates may shift somewhat. The variety is early-growing - already in the third year after planting, such apple trees are guaranteed to give a regular and plentiful harvest.
Tree morphology
Fruit trees of this variety have a high trunk and branched crown of irregular shape, which often leads to fruit overload. The growth rate of the tree is especially high at a young age, before the fruiting begins, after which the development process practically stops. The average height of the apple tree is about 5 m.
Fruit quality
The fruits of the Black Prince have standard average sizes, their weight is about 200 g. Apples are round-conical in shape, crimson in color, turning almost black on the sunny side of the tree. The pulp is juicy and soft, endowed with a delicate aroma, sweet in taste, with a slight sourness of aftertaste. The peel is thin, smooth and shiny. In general, the palatability of apples is rated quite high - 4.8 points out of 5.
The timing of flowering and ripening apples
The flowering process of Red Johnprinz variety begins in mid-spring, when the air temperature warms up to +13 ... + 15 ° С. Inflorescences are medium in size and white-pink in color. Harvest can begin to be taken at the end of September, but experienced gardeners warn: if you rush to start harvesting, the taste of the fruit will decrease significantly. The Black Prince is distinguished by the triple set of chromosomes that he received from his direct parent.
Important! The number of ovaries formed is recommended to be regulated, because if too many are formed, the taste will significantly deteriorate and the size of the apples will decrease.
The consequence of this feature is a stable and rich crop, saturated with a large number of useful and nutrients. The Black Prince is not a self-pollinated variety, and therefore needs the neighborhood of other apple trees. The best varieties are Brabern or Elstar, which should be planted at a distance exceeding 50 m.It should be understood that one of the main factors affecting the future crop is the quality of selected pollinators.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Black Prince variety
- Apples of this variety are endowed with many advantages, the main of which are:
- precocity
- stable and regular harvest;
- high palatability and external indicators;
- long storability.
Among the main disadvantages, there is a low level of frost resistance and some difficulties with the choice of pollinators.
Preparing for planting and further care for the tree
The processes of preparing seedlings for planting and further adhering to the basic rules for caring for apple trees are one of the main requirements for the proper growth and development of the tree, and, as a result, a rich harvest.
Basic soil requirements
The choice of the place and soil in which the future tree will grow should be taken with all responsibility - this is the factor that will be key in achieving high yield indicators. The best option for land is fertile soil, since the fruits of an apple tree that grows in a depleted land, even with constant feeding, will have significantly worse quality.
Did you know? Statistics say that every second tree found in the world is an apple tree.
The loamy soil, which passes air and moisture well, will become the optimal soil substrate. Also, it is worth paying attention to the place in which the young tree will grow - the site should be sufficiently illuminated, and the groundwater should be deep enough (at least 2.5 m) so that the developed root system cannot reach the water.
The right quality of seedlings
Starting to choose planting material, you should be guided by the basic rules:
- One or two year old seedlings will be the best choice. To determine the age, it is necessary to pay attention to the number of branches: one-year-olds do not have developed additional branches, and two-year-olds have no more than four.
- The rhizome of seedlings should be moist and elastic, with the absence of brittleness and signs of rot. As well as the aboveground part, in which there should be no growths or damage.
- There should be no deciduous cover on the seedling.
Rules and landing pattern
When planting several apple trees at the same time, you should immediately correctly calculate the distance between them, since neglecting the distance can result in the following consequences:
- volume and quality of the crop will decrease;
- fruit trees will experience an acute shortage of nutrients and sunlight;
- immunity will decrease and there will be a risk of the appearance of fungal diseases;
- such conditions can provoke the rapid multiplication of various pests.
Did you know? Due to the fact that a quarter of the total mass of the apple is air, this fruit does not sink in water.
The process of planting seedlings consists of several main stages:
- A few months before the proposed planting, the preparation of the hole for the seedling is carried out - this gives the earth time to sag well and evenly moisten.The size of the planting pit varies depending on the type of planting material: tall trees require 70 cm in depth and 120 cm in width, medium-sized trees - 50 × 100 cm, and for dwarf trees, 40 cm in depth and 90 in width are sufficient.
- Digging a hole, it is necessary to divide the soil into two parts: the first layer is upper and it is more fertile, the second - lower.
- A small stake is hammered into the hole (height up to 1.5 m), and then it is filled up with the first layer of soil mixed with fertilizer (humus and compost are used) until a low mound is formed.
- The rhizome of the seedling is carefully spread and covered with soil mixed with fertilizer, while it is necessary to ensure that the root neck protrudes 4-5 cm above the ground.
- The soil around is compacted, and the seedling itself is firmly attached to the peg.
- A shallow hole (diameter of about 1.2 m) is dug around the planted seedling, into which several buckets of water (20 l) pour.
- After the soil completely absorbs moisture, the soil is mulched using humus and foliage - this procedure will prevent the drying of the earth in the future.
Watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil
There are several ways to irrigate apple trees:
After watering, in order to avoid the formation of crust on the ground, it is recommended to carry out loosening, which will additionally saturate the root system of the tree with oxygen and nutrients.
Important! Inadequate watering leads to chopping of the fruit and loss of taste characteristics of the variety.
Throughout the year, except for the winter period, when the plants are at rest, apple trees require fertilizer, depending on their needs:
- at the end of May, during the blossoming of inflorescences, the trees are fed with urea, at the rate of 1/2 tbsp. spoons of fertilizer per 1 m of the trunk circle;
- at the beginning of summer it is necessary to introduce microelements necessary for the development into the soil, namely 0.5 g of boric acid and 2 g of copper sulfate are dissolved in 10 l of water;
- at the end of summer the earth is fertilized with superphosphates and calcium chloride (20-30 g per 1 m);
- in early fall the trunk circle is covered with manure or compost.
Cropping and shaping the crown
The pruning procedure is an integral part of apple tree care procedures and requires systematic. Pruning should be done twice a year - in the spring, to remove damaged branches and the formation of the crown and in the fall, which requires more intervention.
There are several main ways:
- Tier Sparse Formation Method - the branches are cut to form tiers. Such pruning is the most preferable and can significantly improve the quality and volume of the crop.
- Cup-shaped formation - the method is very similar to longline pruning, but is most often used for dwarf trees that have a short lifespan.
- Spindle forming method - It is considered the easiest way and includes getting rid of the insignificant volume of branches and removing the main processes by secateurs.
- The formation of vertical palmetti - most often this method is used for apple trees located along facades or fences.
- Anti-aging pruning - suitable for long-lived trees, in order to extend the fruiting period.

Preparing a tree for frost
The condition of a tree in spring will directly depend on the correctness of the preparation of apple trees for wintering. The main thing you need to pay attention to is reliable insulation of the aerial parts and the root system of the plant.
This procedure consists of several stages:
- soil loosening;
- mulching the soil of the near-trunk circle, using peat, manure or sawdust, which will protect the rhizome from freezing;
- young trees require insulation of the base with the construction of a small mound (about 40 cm in height);
- after the snow falls, it is raked to the area of the trunk circle.

Pests and diseases of the variety
The Black Prince variety has a stable immunity to most common diseases, and therefore, most often, disease damage occurs due to improper care procedures.
Important! Experienced gardeners recommend hanging feeders on a tree, thereby attracting birds, which will become reliable protection against attack by pests.
Here are the main reasons why not only the appearance of a tree can worsen, but also the quality and volume of the crop can significantly decrease:
- Scab - refers to the most common disease of fruit trees and affects not only the deciduous cover, but also the inflorescences of the tree and its fruits. The main reason for the manifestation of the disease is considered high humidity due to frequent rainfall, nebula or frequent watering. Scab is manifested by light green spots that cover the outside of the leaves and fruits. As treatment and prevention fungicidal preparations are used. It is also recommended to remove fallen leaves and digging the soil of the trunk circle.
- Powdery mildew - the affected tree fragments are covered with white coating, which then turn into brown spots with red blotches. Treatment and prevention is carried out during the blooming of leaves, by spraying with a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid.
- Cytosporosis - fungus, the appearance of which provokes frequent watering and scarce soil. The main target of the disease is weakened trees. Only the disease can be treated in the early stages, by treating the plant with a fungicide preparation and then with copper sulfate.
- Aphid - pests that parasitize on tree foliage. Sucking juices, aphids leads to curling of the affected leaf and its decline. As a treatment, trees are treated with a 3% solution of malathion every spring.
Harvesting and storage
The ripening period of apples is the end of September, but the fruits can remain quietly on the tree until November. At the same time, the longer the apple remains on the branch, the better palatability it has. The collection procedure can be carried out in one step. Fruit taken ahead of time will have low shelf life and portability. At the same time, the crop harvested in November can be stored even at room temperature for more than 3 months. And in the conditions of a refrigerator or special storage, this period increases to 6 and 9 months, respectively.
As an optimal container for storage, wooden or plastic boxes are used. Apples are pre-sorted by size and stacked in layers, which are covered with dry sawdust or small chips, moss, oak or maple leaves. Before laying, the prepared container is washed with a solution of bleach, then dried and covered with paper. To extend the shelf life, each apple is wrapped in parchment or oiled paper.The Black Prince is undoubtedly the leader among many different varieties of apples. Due to its high taste and positive characteristics, this variety has gained well-deserved popularity among the owners of suburban areas. Adhering to the simple rules of nursing procedures, you can easily get a high-quality and rich harvest that can surprise even experienced gardeners.

I've had this unit for about a year and started having problems with noise etc. I use the stereo receiver for in ear monitoring. I want to run easy setup to scan a new list but when I access easy set up the only option I get is to toggle between mute rf for this device or connected devices. I tried resetting the unit but I never get the option to scan new list. I logged a ticket with Sennheiser but I have no idea how quickly they will respond and I have a gig this weekend. If I cant fix it I'll have to run a cable to my in-ears for the show which is a bummer. Seems like there is either a software bug that I cant get around or its a hardware problem. Done many searches one this and I cant find anyone with the same problem.
Help would be appreciated!

UkrLandFarming increased elevator capacity by 20 thousand tons
The UkrLandFarming group of companies increased its elevator one-time storage capacity by another 20,000 tons of grain. The launch of the new tanks will take place in early September this year.
This is reported by Ukrainian News.
It is noted that UkrLandFarming has announced the launch of new tanks at the Ternopil elevator in early September.
"The enhanced capacities include the most modern equipment of GSI (USA). The new equipment allows us to quickly deliver grain to the elevator, and increase the efficiency of its drying and storage.

The real estate market in Mumbai is passing through an interesting phase, wherein home buyers have started to prefer suburban locations to set up residence. This is particularly because of the affordability factor, coupled with supreme connectivity to the major hubs of the city, good infrastructure and a host of facilities on offer from residential projects.
For example, Navi Mumbai, thanks to its planned infrastructure and all-round connectivity to the main thoroughfare, is fast emerging as a real estate hotspot. Localities such as Taloja, on the outskirts of Navi Mumbai, have begun to lay claim to the city's real estate space, turning out to be top contenders at that.
Should you be on the lookout for a house, buying a residential unit in Arihant Anaika, for instance, can prove to be a really good investment.
Factors that work in favor of this project include its affordable pricing, quality of construction, comfortable living, fine connectivity and a range of facilities, both standard and luxurious.
Another location right in focus is Chembur. Investing in real estate here is an ideal proposition, with chances of property value appreciation by as much as 150% within the next 5 years. Wadala is another emerging real estate investment destination in Mumbai. Property prices in Wadala have up by leaps and bounds over the past few years, thanks to rapid infrastructural development.
Rental demands have gone up here due to the presence of several educational institutions. With such an impressive line-up of localities, now is certainly the best time to start investing in Mumbai real estate.

It's Spring, the days are getting longer and brighter, and the greenery is coming back. It's the time for new things, exciting prospects, and for Spring cleaning – sounds to me like the perfect time of year to start writing! The guys at NaNoWriMo think the same, and created Camp NaNoWriMo. I have taken part in NaNoWriMo in November a couple of times – I actually managed to 'win naNo' in November – so I am looking forward to taking part! Continue reading "Camp NaNoWriMo | Sign Up"

NaNoWriMo Wrap Up
Evening chaps and chapesses, how is life and December treating you? I am a little bit confused as to how it's already the 4th, but there we go. The car was frozen this morning, the fog was around all day, and the temperature has dipped below zero, all official signs winter and December are here and here to stay. So, before we get too far into December, I wanted to take a look at the biggest success of last month: winning NaNoWriMo!
As you can probably tell, I am really quite happy with myself. I worked really hard to hit the word total, and when validated, had managed to write 53,943 words during NaNo. I'm pretty pleased with myself and for the first time in a while I am really quite proud of that achievement. I wrote over 50,000 words in my contemporary idea, so I actually managed to finish NaNo without needing to count the words that were added to my Pirate idea (I added them anyway, because y'know, I'd written them, but knowing I didn't need to was pretty cool). I also finished on November 28th, which gave me a bit of breathing room to validate and actually assess what I had done and what I have left to finish the work in progress.

NaNoWriMo Update: 11th-23rd November
Howdy folks! How is your November treating you? The UK ha suddenly turned super icky, it's cold, it's wet, it's windy, the leaves are all down, and blankets and jumpers are a must at all times. It's not pleasant. November has been a bit of a weird one for me. On one hand it's been great, I've celebrated my birthday and Thanksgiving, I visited Disney in. Florida for the first 8 days and London for a couple too, and I'm doing NaNo, but on the other hand I have no money, my back is really playing up again and causing me a lot of pain, and I am in a reading and blogging rut/slump. I think it's winter blues, but only time will tell.

NaNoWriMo Update | 1st-10th
My my England is cold, eh? I've been used the Florida warmth and sun for the last 2 weeks, and in that time winter seems to have landed in the UK. This should be perfect, an excuse to curl up in the warmth with my laptop and write away, but that would be a little simplistic. I'm quite sure it won't be that simple. As you might have seen from my NaNoWriMo Announcement post, I am making a serious attempt to 'win' NaNoWriMo and write at least 50,000 words. I tried before, 2 years ago, when I had a complicated space heist idea/concept, but it wasn't clear enough in my mind to begin to try and write, so I abandoned it at around 10,000 words. So, this year, I have decided to think about 2 wildly different concepts in the hope of making decisions, plotting, knowing my characters, and ultimately learning to write, and I am tracking my progress through the NaNoWriMo website and a twitter thread.

Hello ladies and gentleman. You'll never guess where I am writing this post! No, it's not my living room, or my bedroom, or even on my lunch break, I'm on a plane, how cool is that huh? I am super excited that my holiday has finally arrived and that I am heading to Orlando for 2 weeks of sun, fun, and all things Disney. First things first though, I have a small announcement to make. I'm not really sure it's very secret considering it's in the title of the post, but if you missed it: I'm doing NaNoWriMo 2018! Continue reading "NaNoWriMo 2018"

Since Emma moved in, I have made a concerted effort to be more organised. In some cases, such as the state of my room, or the organisation of the downstairs areas have taken (well, are taking) longer than other aspects of my life, but it is safe to say that since she has moved in I have been developing what resembles a routine. And that's what we need in life, no? Whether it's remembering to cook, or actually making my bed, I am doing my best to have habits and routines that involves healthier practices, and not perfecting couch-potatoing.

Should Christians Denounce the Term "Evangelical"?
Matt Chandler
The definition of "evangelical" differs among the media and traditional churchgoers. While we can't necessarily distance ourselves from the term, we all have a responsibility to denounce slander against the name of Christ.
Consider Donating
We love creating practical, discipleship resources to help you know and love God more. If you've benefited from our resources, would you consider giving back to help us continue helping men, women and children as they find their place in God's story?

Michael Gove signals first government climbdown on Brexit bill over replacements for EU environment laws
Last month Lords voted down Gove's original environmental plans
MICHAEL Gove yesterday signalled the first Government climbdown on its landmark Brexit bill – over green standards.
Speaking in London, the Environment Secretary said he would table new proposals for replacing EU environment protections after the Lords last month voted down original plans.
The vote was one of 15 Lords defeats for the Government over its EU Withdrawal Bill and sparked a bitter Cabinet dust-up.
At the time a furious Mr Gove blamed "short-sighted" Philip Hammond for the defeat – saying he had blocked plans to give a post-Brexit watchdog the power to impose fines if the Government or councils fail to cut pollution or boost recycling.
At a Policy Exchange event yesterday, Mr Gove accepted the clear signal of the Lords defeat – and said an "amendment in lieu" would be tabled to offer a "constructive" alternative to EU standards.
This would go before MPs in next Tuesday's mammoth debate on the EU Withdrawal Bill.
Mr Gove said: "I think it will be the case but I don't want to anticipate things.
"There may well be a response, an amendment in lieu, which seeks to address some of those concerns but also a wider more constructive way forward."
An amendment already drafted by Tory backbencher and environmentalist Zac Goldsmith would deliver most of the ambitions of the Lords rebels.
Peers demanded all existing "rights, power and liabilities … that contribute to the protection and improvement of the environment" would be preserved.
Zac Goldsmith's amendment requires new legislation to be published by the end of the year setting out environment principles in a "statement of environmental policy".
An independent body to monitor compliance would also be set up.

Nigeria: Pray for Peace, Unity of Nigeria, Orji Tells Christians
By Emeka Okafor, Daily Independent – Umuahia. — Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, has called on Christians in the country to use the period of Easter to pray for the continued peace and unity of Nigeria.
In his Easter message to the people through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Ajunwa, the governor enjoined Christians to pray for the successful completion of the April 11, 2015 governorship and House of Assembly elections and a smooth transition to power.
According to him, the lessons of love, humility, selflessness, forgiveness and perseverance shown by the Lord Jesus Christ through his death and resurrection should be emulated by all Nigerians at all times especially at this critical period in our nation's history.
He pointed out that although Christ underwent trying and difficult times on the cross in order to bring salvation to man, he never gave up but persevered and triumphed in the end.
The governor said the salvation brought to mankind by Christ should not be taken for granted and admonished Nigerians to look up to God for solutions to their problems.
The Abia number one citizen advised Nigerians to let the love of Christ continue to pervade the country and implored all to reflect on the life of selfless service lived by Jesus Christ.

Study design (if review, criteria of inclusion for studies)
Randomized clinical trial
44 children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
Patients were randomized to receive for three months either a high fat, high-calorie diet (n = 22) or a low glycemic index/high fat, high-calorie diet (n = 22) with similar calorie and macronutrients composition.
Outcome measures
Serum levels of lipid profiles (triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol), insulin, fasting blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin were measured at baseline and after the intervention.
Main results
Between-group differences were significant only for fasting blood glucose (P < 0.001). However, fasting blood glucose (P = 0.003) and glycated hemoglobin (P = 0.002) significantly decreased after the intervention in the low glycemic index group, while in another group a significant increase in fasting blood glucose (P = 0.038) and triglyceride (P = 0.004) was found. No significant within-group differences were observed in other variables in both groups.
Authors' conclusions
It seems that adherence to a low glycemic index/high fat, high-calorie diet can improve glycemic indices in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis compared to the high fat, high-calorie diet.

SEE ALSO: Expensive little mistakes you don't want to make"We plant them in greenhouses, and in less than six months, you can start cutting bamboo sticks for sale. In about four years, the trees have matured for harvest." From putting food on your table, paper in your printer, a floor under your feet, furniture in your house and a fence around your compound, bamboo has plenty of uses. It is used in construction, makes charcoal, pulp, boards, cloth, furniture, food, fuel, medicine, utensils, matchsticks, toothpicks and crafts. In construction, bamboo can be used to build most sections of a house, and as flooring, it provides a more flexible, smooth, bright and stable alternative to wood. It also has high resistance and insulation qualities. In countries like Indonesia and China where it is in high supply, bamboo is used in water desalination, providing a filter that sieves the salt from water.
SEE ALSO: Carboot sales tell story of country of copycatsIn Kenya, the sap from shoot tips is used for brewing an alcoholic drink dubbed ulanzi, which has about 5 per cent to 5.5 per cent alcohol content, and is similar in taste to beer. "We sell two varieties of products — laminated and culm products. Culm products refer to unprocessed bamboo, which makes items such as seats and beds," says Mr George Migom, who works at Kefri's Karura workshop. A two-seater couch made with culm bamboo retails at Sh8,000, with a one seater being sold at about Sh6,000. "We also sell curtain blinds made with bamboo that cost Sh2,500 per square metre, while a complete coffee set made with a table and four stools costs Sh25,000." Bamboo does well in average annual temperatures of about 20 to 27°C.
SEE ALSO: Emotional intelligence for entrepreneursAccording to a Kefri senior scientist and bamboo expert, Mr Gordon Sigu, the most prevalent bamboo species in the country is the alpine bamboo, which occurs naturally in the highland ranges and mountains of Eastern Africa. "Before planting bamboo cuttings, the seedlings are raised in a nursery for six months," he says. A bamboo tree can grow up to 30 metres tall, 30 centimeters in diameter, with walls 2.5 centimetres thick. Each clump is harvested once or twice a year. "This is not just the poor man's timber, it's green gold," Mr Sigu added. And this is something Mr Juvenales Njuguna has seen. About 10 years ago, he bought a 20-hectare piece of land in Isinya. He used it to engage in several agricultural activities, among them rabbit and pig farming, but they flopped terribly. In his quest for a profitable venture, his neighbour told him to consider bamboo farming. He did, and today, Mr Njuguna has amassed a fortune he says is in the millions of shillings, and has employed 20 individuals to oversee his bamboo plantation. He is well known among bamboo farmers, having farmed more than five million seedlings, which he sells to farmers who mostly use the trees as windbreakers around greenhouses, and traders who use it to make finished products like furniture. "I usually grow solid bamboo, which is a drought-resistant shrub and can thrive with minimal annual rainfall," he says. Njuguna sells bamboo poles at Sh400, bamboo mini-clumps at Sh500, seedlings at Sh200, bamboo plantlets at Sh50 and bamboo sticks at Sh35. He says that to grow bamboo, one needs to plant seedlings in the centre of a hole with one foot of top soil to the right, and other foot to the left. And use plenty of water. "On one acre, you can plant between 160 and 240 seedlings, depending on the space you leave on the edges. "Bamboo clumps that are meant for the production of edible shoots, animal and chicken fodder are planted on a spacing of 2 metres by 3 metres. The same spacing can apply to bamboo clumps being planted on wetlands or soggy land," Njuguna says.

Indiana gambling law allows casino gaming in 14 licensed venues across the state. Eight of those are riverboat casinos. There are also three land-based commercial casinos, as well as one tribal casino. Indiana also has two horse racing tracks that run casino operations on the grounds.
Online casino gambling in Indiana remains unregulated, but optimists believe the state could legalize US internet casinos in the next couple of years. The reason for the optimism is the fact that Indiana has made online sports betting legal in 2019.
The legislation allows the licensed casinos to apply for a sports betting license. The license grants them the right to run a sportsbook on the premises, as well as a virtual version of it on the internet.
Find Indiana Casinos on The Map
Interesting Facts About Indiana
With a name Indiana, you would expect this state to have dozens of tribal casinos within its borders. However, there's only one – the Four Winds South Bend Casino.
The reason is that, despite the name, Indiana does not have a large Indian population. They did live here in large numbers by the mid-18th century when they were forced out by the European settlers. Today, less than one percent of the Indiana population is of Native American heritage.
Indiana's nickname also has some interesting origin stories. For instance, no one knows where Hosier comes from exactly. The term Hosier State has been in use since the early 19th century, but no one can say for certain what a Hosier is.
Unlike its nickname, Indiana's official motto is a no-brainer. The Crossroads of America refers to the fact that this Midwestern state is where many interstates cross.
Indiana Gambling Venues
The Indiana gambling legislation says that in order to get an operational license, a commercial casino needs to be either on water (riverboat casinos) or near some body of water.
As a result, most of Indiana casinos are on/near Ohio River and Lake Michigan. Actually, the only land-based casino that has nothing to do with those two is French Lick. This casino is situated next to the creek of the same name.
The only casino in Indiana that's miles away from any lake or river is the Four Winds South Bend Casino. This is a tribal gaming venue, owned and operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. Another tribal casino, Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, is under construction at the moment of writing.
There are two more places in Indiana where casino gambling is possible. Those are Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand Casino, both of which are racinos. What this means is that these venues are actually horseracing tracks, which have some free slot machines and tables on the premises. Visitors can play casino games in these places, as well as bet on horse races.
When it comes to sports betting, this activity is allowed in most of the aforementioned gambling venues. Furthermore, some of those venues have even teamed up with betting sites to create online sportsbooks.

In one of the most ambiguous poll questions ever, Gallup has asked Americans to once again act as a tenuous bellwether for the impending death of religion.
In a May survey, more than 1,000 people were asked to pick between two vague sense impressions of faith: "Do you believe that religion can answer all of today's problems, or that religion is largely old fashioned and out of date?
She wanted me to know it was a badge of honor for her. It's always seemed a decent guess that we let political affiliations influence our attraction to a potential valentine. A recent study demonstrates that having similar political beliefs makes us more likely to be interested in a person when we view his or her online dating profile.
When the poll says "all of today's problems," is it referring to political gridlock? The underlying assumption is that secularization theorists are at least somewhat correct: Religion is somehow "old" or pre-modern or even anti-modern, whereas secular life is "new" or fully modern or post-modern.
Even though the poll is ostensibly asking respondents to say whether they think this is right, the premise of secularization theory is baked into the way they asked the question.
That's why it's framed in terms of "new" and "old"—or, in other words, relevant and irrelevant.
But, of course, Gallup asked the question (and, implausibly, has apparently been asking the same bad question since the 1950s), and if there's a poll question, so shall there be a graph: What we're meant to take from that graph, presumably, is that doubts about religion—and, along with it, secularization—are on an undeniably upward trend.

Street sweeper moved back into 2020 budget
City of Cranbrook council May 11 voted to amend a resolution surrounding the city's list of essential projects requiring 2020 budget funding, to allow for the purchase of a new street sweeper.
A decision was made at the April 27 council meeting to move the proposed purchase of the street sweeper from the essential list of projects for 2020 and to defer the project to 2021.
Upon further examination, it was noted that repairs to the current street sweeper (pictured above) in 2020 is approximately $12,000 to date to get it back up and running, added to the already high weekly cost of maintenance of this vehicle, council learned last Monday.
Coupled with the high repair cost is the delivery of a new sweeper can take anywhere from six months to a year. This delay would affect Public Works' ability for the cleaning of the winter sand in the spring of 2021 in preparation of the road line painting.
Moving the project back onto the essential project listing, and proceeding with the purchase in 2020, is unlikely to represent a significant risk to the city's ability to meet its financial obligations, a joint city Finance and Public Works report to council noted.
The sweeper, with a projected cost of $350,000, is budgeted from the city's 'Recap Reserve.' The balance in the reserve at December 31, is estimated to be $2,315,556 assuming all the essential projects planned for 2020 are completed and the budgeted transfer to the reserve of $1,110,000 is made, the city report continued.
The large essential projects funded from the Recap Reserve in 2020 are: Western Financial Place (WFP) Roof Replacement – $1,367,586; WFP and Kinsmen boards – $515,000; WFP Chiller – $343,000; street sweeper – $350,000 (if council places this project back on the essential list).
"Reallocating the sweeper, leaves the deferred projects total at $4,389,624. This amount represents a strong aspect of the fortifications that have been put in place to guard against the financial uncertainties brought on by COVID-19," the city report concluded.

Crossroads: A student and postdoctoral association
Sooner or later all scientific students and postdocs reach a crossroads—a crucial junction in their careers when they must decide which path to take. The decision could be whether to pursue a position in a yeast lab versus a fly lab, whether to choose a career in academia or industry, or whether to leave the bench altogether. During those times of transitions, mentors play a crucial role in providing vital preparation and guidance. At Stowers, the aptly named Crossroads program offers additional resources to help students and postdoctoral researchers broaden their horizons and explore new directions.
Rushi Trivedi and Annita Achilleos, PhD
Originally organized in 2002, for several years Crossroads' primary function was to provide career advice and ideas for trainees. It organized the Young Investigator Research Days (YIRD), which continues to showcase the scientific projects of students and postdocs as well as invite an annual scientific speaker. Since its modest beginnings, Crossroads has matured into an invaluable resource that hosts multiple speakers and events each year, and provides valuable networking and professional development opportunities to young scientists. Talks and training are offered on applying for fellowships, navigating the grant review process, giving effective oral presentations, and teaching a wide variety of other skills important for developing diverse science careers and communications skills.
"The process for obtaining a PhD and completing a postdoc is long and sometimes even discouraging, especially when experiments don't work out as planned or you face difficulties you hadn't expected," says Crossroads postdoc chair Annita Achilleos, PhD. "Crossroads can serve as a source of support for young scientists during this phase of their careers."
This year, under the leadership of Crossroads committee chairs Achilleos and Rushi Trivedi, the group hosted panel discussions and special lectures that highlighted a variety of science careers. "The reality is that not every scientist will end up with an academic appointment," says Achilleos. "It is important for our members to know that there are many great opportunities for well-trained scientists outside of academia." In fact, driven by member interest the 2013 YIRD keynote speaker was chosen from a select group of scientists who excel in careers outside of academia.
But the group's agenda doesn't stop with panelists and speakers. To emphasize professional networking, committee members added social events to the annual line-up. In addition to a social gathering during the National Postdoc Appreciation Week in September, Crossroads hosted a screening of PhD Comic: The Movie, a humorous take on life in graduate school. "The social events are an important component of our group, says Achilleos. "They provide opportunities for our members to connect with other scientists in a relaxed environment."
Rallied by the positive response of its members and the enthusiastic support of Scientific Director Robb Krumlauf, PhD, and his staff, Crossroads leaders hope to expand events and activities next year, focusing on interactions with investigators and greater member participation. "Crossroads is an integral organization that offers phenomenal opportunities to learn and develop many of the non-bench-based skills that are an important part of a scientist's overall development," says Krumlauf.
