Objective: To determine the reliability and accuracy of the sulfosalicylic acid test in the fast detection and semi-quantitative analysis of proteinuria.
Methods: Prospective, descriptive study at Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl in Medellín, Colombia. Ninety eight women with proteinuria and 129 without it were included. Turbidity test with sulfosalicylic acid was compared to 24-hour-proteinuria.
Results: The likelihood ratios (LR) for turbidity test results of 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+, and 5+ were 0.4, 0.7, 3.4, 6.7, and 39.1, respectively. Interclass correlation between the three evaluators of turbidity was 0.966. With the cut point set at 4+, sensitivity was 41.1% (CI 95%: 30.6-51.5), and specificity was 97.7% (CI 95%: 94.7-100). In hypertensive patients, positive predictive value was 95% (CI 95%: 87-100) and negative predictive value was 53.3% (CI 95%: 42.5-64).]]> Conclusion: Turbidity test is an easy, fast, cheap, and reproducible analysis. Because of its high specificity it is ideal to study pregnant women, particularly those with hypertension, for proteinuria.
Pregnancy-induced hypertension, Preeclampsia, Proteinuria, Sulfosalicylic acid test
Objetivo: determinar la confiabilidad de la prueba del ácido sulfosalicílico en la detección rápida y semicuantificación de la proteinuria.
Métodos: estudio descriptivo, prospectivo llevado a cabo en el Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl, Medellín, Colombia. Se incluyeron 98 mujeres gestantes con proteinuria y 129 sin proteinuria. La prueba de turbidez con ácido sulfosalicílico se comparó con la medición de proteinuria en 24 horas.
Resultados: los coeficientes de probabilidad (likelihood ratio) para los resultados de la prueba fueron los siguientes: 1+ = 0,4; 2+: = 0,7; 3+ = 3,4; 4+ = 6,7 y 5+ = 39,1. La correlación entre los tres evaluadores de la turbidez fue 0,966. Con un punto de corte de 4+ la sensibilidad fue 41,1% (IC 95%: 30,6- 51,5), la especificidad fue 97,7% (IC 95%: 94,7-100). Cuando la prueba se aplicó solamente a las pacientes hipertensas el valor predictivo positivo fue 95% (IC 95%: 87-100) y el valor predictivo negativo fue 53,3% (IC 95%: 42,5-64).
Conclusiones: la prueba de turbidez con ácido sulfosalicílico es fácil, rápida, económica y reproducible. Por su baja sensibilidad no es útil como método de tamización pero por su alta especificidad es ideal para la confirmación rápida de proteinuria en las gestantes hipertensas.
Hipertensión inducida por el embarazo, Preeclampsia, Proteinuria, Prueba del ácido sulfosalicílico
Worldwide, each year, hypertensive disorders during pregnancy are responsible for at least 200.000 maternal deaths, and preeclampsia-eclampsia affects approximately 10% of pregnant women. In Colombia, hypertensive disorders during pregnancy represent the second most common cause of maternal mortality (1). Most of the observed complications are secondary to inadequate of delayed treatments (2).
In order to establish the diagnosis of preeclampsia the finding of high blood pressure (above 140/90 mm Hg), and a level of 24-hour-proteinuria above 300 mg are required (3,4). The standard test to make the diagnosis of proteinuria is to measure it in urine during a 24 hour period. However, this is a lengthy process and the collection of the specimen is not easy thus leading to an important delay in establishing the diagnosis. Besides, measurement may not be available in institutions offering only basic clinical laboratory services. It would therefore be convenient to introduce a low cost test with high sensitivity and specificity, easy to use and to read that can be implemented in the basic health care services and the obstetrics emergency units. These goals could be achieved with the use of the sulfosalicylic acid test; this chemical reagent is able to produce protein precipitation through urine acidification ant it provides prompt results.
The major objective of this study was to determine the reliability and accuracy of the sulfosalicylic acid test in the fast measurement of proteinuria.
Type of study: prospective-descriptive.
Population: The criterion for inclusion was to have more than 20 weeks of gestation.]]> Setting: The study was done at Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl, a high level institution serving as referral center in Medellín, Colombia. It has 32 beds in the obstetrics area and an average of 1.500 deliveries per year.
To increase the chances of including women with proteinuria, 135 hypertensive pregnant patients were selected to enter the study regardless of the stage of their condition. Ninety two pregnant patients with a low chance of having proteinuria were also included; the latter group was made up of women with medical complications different from hypertensive disorders. Patients with vaginal bleeding were excluded, because of the potential contamination of the urine with blood. Proteinuria was defined as the presence of 300 mg or more of protein in urine in a 24 hour period.
At admission to the emergency service, a 5 mL urine sample was collected in an assay tube and mixed with 5 ml of 3% sulfosalicylic acid. In the following two minutes the mixture was gently agitated for 60 seconds. The degree of turbidity was read against a visual scale chart available in the emergency room. Scores were assigned depending on the ability to read a text (letter size 12 points) through the tube at a distance of 30 cm. Values were as follows:
0 = negative (turbidity 1).
+ = low turbidity but the whole text can be read (turbidity 2).
++ = moderate turbidity; only some parts of the text can be read (turbidity 3).
+++ = the text is illegible but some dots or lines can be seen (turbidity 4).
++++ = it is not possible to read through the tube because of strong turbidity, either with a spotted or coagulated pattern (turbidity 5).
Three different observers independently evaluated the turbidity degree: the intern, the obstetrics and gynecology resident and the obstetrician. Each one deposited his/her diagnosis in a closed urn, one for each group of observers. Only the investigators had access to the results.
Twenty four hour proteinuria, urine pH and urine density were measured in all patients at the central laboratory of the hospital. Technologists did not know the results of the turbidity measurements. When patients delivered during the time of urine collection, this was continued during the postpartum period. Measurement of proteinuria was done by the Vitros method.]]> Statistical analysis
Size of the sample: based on an expected 90% sensitivity, 95% specificity, 5% maximum error, 95% confidence, and a ratio of 0.7 between women with and without proteinuria, the Epidat 3.1 program calculated a sample size of 135 patients with proteinuria and 92 without it. All information was downloaded into a data base designed in the Excel 2000 program and the analysis was done with the SPSS 14.0 and Epidat 3.1 programs.
The summary of the quantitative variables was done with mean and standard deviation or median and percentiles based on the distribution found after the application of the Kolmogorov Smirnov test. Qualitative variables are given as absolute frequencies and percentages. The operative characteristics of the test were calculated on the basis of universally accepted definitions and are presented with their respective confidence interval (CI) of 95%. Likelihood ratios (LR) can deal with tests with more than two possible results (not just normal/abnormal). LR higher than one increase the likelihood, those lower than one decrease the likelihood, values near one indicate a result that does not substantially change disease likelihood. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Rho Spearman coefficient were used to compare the quantitative variables because their distribution was not normal.
Accuracy of the test is measured by the area under the ROC curve, and depends on how well it separates the group being tested into those with and those without the disease in question. A rough guide for classifying the accuracy of a diagnostic test is the traditional academic point system: 0.90-1 = excellent, 0.80-0.90 = good, 0.70-0.80 = fair, 0.60-0.70 = poor, 0.50-0.60 = fail.
Ethical considerations
The protocol for this study was approved by the ethics and research review boards of the Universidad de Antioquia and Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paúl.
Twenty four hour proteinuria (more than 300 mg) was present in 84 of the 135 patients with hypertension (62.2%) and in 14 (15.2%) of the 92 that were nonhypertensive. Regardless of the diagnosis at admission, proteinuria was present in 98 patients and absent in 129. Table n.º 1 presents the general characteristics of the group.
The most frequent diagnoses at admission were preterm labor (42 cases; 18.5%), gestational hypertension in study (41 cases; 18.1%), severe preeclampsia (57 cases; 25.1%), moderate preeclampsia (20 cases; 8.8%), premature rupture of membranes (PROM) (10 cases; 4.4%). In 57 (25.1%) patients other diagnoses were done.]]> Interclass correlation coefficient among the three observers for the turbidity test was 0.966 (CI 95%: 0.958-0.973). Due to this high level of agreement, only the turbidity reported by one of them (the resident) was taken into account in the analysis.
Table n.º 2 and figure n.º 1 present the values of 24-hour-proteinuria for a given turbidity value. Table n.º 3 shows the probability coefficient (LR) for each turbidity value. Figure n.º 2 shows the respective ROC curve, in which the area under the curve was of 0.77 (CI 95%: 0.71-0.84).
Test results were dichotomized: a turbidity value of 4 + or more was assumed as positive for proteinuria, while lesser values were considered negative. After this, sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were calculated. Results are presented in table n.º 4.
Analysis of the test performance in those women in which it would have been really employed in the clinical practice, namely, hypertensive patients with suspected preeclampsia, revealed the following data: sensitivity 46.9% (CI 95%: 35.4-58.4), negative predictive value 53.3% (CI 95%: 42.5-64.0), specificity 96.1% (CI 95% 89.8-100), positive predictive value 95% (CI 95% 87-100), and a positive LR of 12 for threshold turbidity level of 4+. The respective LR obtained in this subgroup are shown in table 5.
Urine pH did not affect the turbidity or proteinuria results and did not act as a confusion variable: there were neither statistically significant differences of pH between the groups with or without proteinuria (p 0.23 Mann- Whitney test) nor correlation with the turbidity levels (Spearman rho -0.027). The same situation was found with the urinary density: there were neither differences of density between the groups according to the presence of proteinuria (p 0.25 Mann-Whitney test) nor correlation with the levels of turbidity (Spearman rho 0.026).
The sulfosalicylic acid test is useful for a quick diagnosis of proteinuria. In a hypertensive pregnant patient the finding of a turbidity level of 4+ or 5+ would confirm the diagnosis of preeclampsia in 98% of the cases. Our results show a specificity rate close to 100% with a cut point of 4+ or more; however, it has to be emphasized that even with a turbidity of 3+ more than 50% of the patients will have a significant proteinuria.]]> This test for proteinuria is easy to use and has minimal variability among observers. For these reasons, it can be performed by inexperienced personnel making it useful in emergency services and obstetric wards, regardless of the complexity level of the health care institution. Besides, it is inexpensive: the cost of the reagent per test is only around US$ 0,14.
Some authors have suggested the use of quick tests such as the urine strips (urinary dipsticks) which can suggest the presence of proteinuria; however, a metaanalysis about the use of this method in pregnant patients affected by hypertensive disorders concluded that it has a limited role when the result is 1+ (5). Because this result does not rule out the possibility of having a clinically significant proteinuria (more than 300 mg in 24 hours), there are limits on its clinical use and for the decision making process. Besides, the use of urinary dipsticks to make the diagnosis of proteinuria is affected by both false positive and false negative results due to several factors such as the presence of an active urinary tract infection and changes in urinary density and pH (6-9). Finally, assessment of proteinuria by this method is based solely on the detection of albumin while proteinuria in patients with preeclampsia is not selective; therefore, there may be false negative results.
We acknowledge the existence of different types of tests also able to offer the accuracy needed to make the correct diagnosis of significant proteinuria, including the albumin/creatinine ratio; however, this test requires automated methods, it is semiquantitative and the specimen has to be obtained at the time of the first morning micturition (10) because results are not equally good and may be confusing in specimens obtained during the day (11). Contrariwise, sulfosalicylic acid test can be performed in random urine specimens obtained at admission.
The low negative predictive value found with the sulfosalicylic acid test, even in patients with hypertension, makes it necessary to confirm negative results with a 24 hour proteinuria determination. Despite this limitation, use of the sulfosalicylic acid test reduces the total number of quantitative 24-hourproteinuria measurements required.
The sensitivity of this test is not high enough; however, assessment for proteinuria in a pregnant patient without hypertension or as a screening test for preeclampsia does not have any value.
The possibility of improving early diagnosis of proteinuria in pregnant women controlled as outpatients has recently been suggested in order to reduce the mortality rate due to preeclampsia. This is achieved by providing patients, especially those facing difficulties of access to health care, a urinalysis dipstick system or a similar test that they can use frequently to check for the onset of proteinuria. This is a sound proposal but it has not been clinically evaluated. The sulfosalicylic acid test is innocuous and easy to use and could become the ideal test under these circumstances (12). Good sensitivity was demonstrated in a study carried out in Africa with the sulfosalicylic acid test: it was able to detect 5 to 10 mg/dL of protein in urine. In comparison, dipsticks are able to detect values starting at 20 to 30 mg/dL. Moreover, the new test also corroborated its ability to detect all kinds of urinary proteins and was regarded as simple to use for health care providers having minimal training (13). However, in this study the test was not used as a diagnostic tool but only for screening purposes, and results were not compared with those of a 24-hour-proteinuria determination.
Certain conditions have been described as potential causes for alteration of the turbidity results, among them: use of contrast agents, antibiotics (tetracycline), penicillamine, and changes in urinary pH and density (14). In our study no patient was exposed to such agents and the analyses performed ruled out changes in urinary pH or density that could have modified the results.
In our series 15% of patients without hypertension presented significant proteinuria but no clinical follow-up was done because it was not part of the study; however, it is an important finding when defining the normal limits of proteinuria.
This study has the strength of its methodological rigor: independent and blinded evaluation of the test and the inclusion of women with and without proteinuria. The range of proteinuria values was representative of what really happens in the daily medical practice. Our patients had different degrees of severity of their hypertensive syndrome. The sample size was calculated to obtain accurate confidence intervals and the test reproducibility was confirmed among people with different training levels. Being a new test, it was necessary to rule out the possibility that the acid was chemically reacting with substances different from proteins; therefore, it made sense to include women in whom the test would not have been routinely used; that was the case of patients without suspicion of hypertensive syndrome associated to pregnancy.
Before recommending the routine use of the sulfosalicylic acid test to detect proteinuria in pregnant patients affected by hypertensive disorders, it is mandatory to confirm that the promising results found in this study can be reproduced.]]>

Overwhelmed and don't know where to begin untangling 'life'

I'm experiencing mental overwhelm and paralysis with everything and i don't even know where to start as there is 'too much wrong with me/too much to change to even know where to begin'.
I have quite a lot of 'schemas' (inflexible patterns of thought, feeling and behavious) and am in a program to help break the patterns so i thought i could use PSTEC to help with it but i don't even know where to begin, i feel completely seized up (again that is a pattern for me) and like i am faced with a mountain i have no idea how to even begin climbing.
I know Tim doesn't like labels and over the years ive been one for collecting them to figure out 'what is wrong with me' which has never made me feel better.
But i am fairly sure i fit the bill of Dependant personality disorder and Avoidant personality disorder- i am terribly avoidant.
I am tired of being how i am and feel like i need to be entirely the opposite of how i am, i just feel frustrated and stuck and don't know how to move forward when i don't even know where to begin.
I struggle to feel anything either so during pstec tracks i end up having to imagine how i would feel in situations as i cant evoke it. I know Tim says that youve just got to try and feel the feeling rather than actually feel it but i wonder if i am somehow doing the tracks wrong.
I want to use PSTEC but so far have just used it on events i have been worried about in future and i like to think that my use of PQT and pstec recently was the cause of me being more calm than usual during a performance.
I've considered seeing if i can work with a PSTEC practitioner to help me unravel some of my 'stuff' and help me focus my efforts but it isn't helpful if i just go 'i have these schemas/ maybe a personality disorder/ my whole life/myself feels like the problem.'
I'm not even in a crisis or anything… i just seem to feel numb, like i have functional depression. Nothing is terrible but nothing is good either. I just exist in a numb functional little bubble.
So i just don't know where to begin or go with all of this.
Any advice would be appreciated.October 26, 2019 at 12:33 pm #26701Paul McCabePSTEC Pro and Forum Moderator
Hi Ammy,
Thanks for posting.
I appreciate you sharing and can assure you that many other people will identify with what you have written.
Some people feel things very profoundly, while other people have difficulty getting in touch with their feelings. Many people fluctuate between the two.
So, let's go with:
– How do you know you have a problem? (Is it a feeling, thoughts etc.?)
-What does it feel like to be seized up?
Get in touch with that and, by seeing if you can identify specific times these feelings have shown up, you can CT the feelings.
You can also CT the feelings as you are experiencing them. You can then point those feelings towards specific memories. Doing so will provide some relief.
Also, see if the following beliefs resonate with you:
"Life was difficult"
"I was flawed"
"Everything was too much"
"I couldn't handle living like this"
"I had to avoid my painful feelings"
"I was not OK"
"It was not acceptable to be like me"
"Change was impossible"
"Nothing worked for me"
"I was separate"
"I was alone"
"Nobody understood me"
"There was something wrong with me"
If so, please run these through the Belief Blasters.
I think this would be a good place to start, so please let us know how you get on.
Kind Regards,
Paul McCabe – PSTEC Master Practitioner

Ammy, I would advice to you to try having an hipnosis session before you try to eliminate them using PSTEC blindly. Hipnosis is absolutely wonderful to find the "why". Why you feel the way you feel, why, when and where did those disorders showed up in your life and what´s their purpose and intention for you. I think that is the place to start. I never do a PSTEC session without doing hipnosis first. Usually what you think is the problem is really the solution you created to something so you better understand why it is there.

Mending releases "Julia is Done With Asheville" and the song is a lengthy dark and tranquil piece that features various sound fx, a lonesome piano track, and a layered female voice that is both sweet and soft as well as melancholic and haunting. I personally see "Julia is Done With Asheville" as a sync placement for a video game loading or waiting screen for a post apocalyptic game. Tranquil and haunting would be the best two words to describe "Julia is Done With Asheville" by Mending. See attached artist biography below.
We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow is a four hour, 40 song speculative narrative, being released in nine chapters over 18 months. Combining folk songwriting with drone and noise, the songs trace the lives of a family and friends over a 40 year period in a series of connected vignettes. The broad narrative, told chronologically from multiple points-of-view, is set in motion by a catastrophic fire at an oil refinery in Odena, Alabama. From there we follow a handful of characters, as children become adults, spread out to Asheville, New York, and Bennington, get jobs, fall in and out of love, families grow, until coastal flooding and other impacts of climate change transform their day-to-day lives, eventually leading them all to Odena and Wakerobin Hollow.
The songs, arranged for piano, voice, synthesizers, noise and field-recording, explore female friendship, authoritarianism, familial relationships, and the ways climate change is, and will, affect our lives.
We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow will be released in nine chapters, on cassette and digital, with a new chapter every two months from August 2018-January 2020. As the cycle progresses through time, it sonically degrades, so the closing songs are marked by digital decay increasingly obscuring the narrative.

We Gathered at Wakerobin Hollow ~ Chapter 02: A Few Years in Asheville
In this chapter, spanning Year 18-30, we follow Marsha and Julia to college in Asheville and into their lives there after graduation. Meanwhile, Alan, having left his family in Odena, wanders the southeast a decade after the refinery fire, struggling with trauma, homelessness, and alcohol.

"[M]arked by a sense of weight and poignancy, the melancholic-yet-affirming instrumentation almost conjuring The Antlers' Hospice… Ultimately, this sense of awe is what marks the first chapter, and the ambition to explore it so profoundly and patiently seems to be Mending's unique talent." — Various Small Flames
"Gorgeous piano melodies and aching drones underscore a sweeping family drama … the drone-folk equivalent of In Search of Lost Time." – Tome to the Weather Machine
"[B]eautiful combination of sounds and soundscapes, of life yet un-introduced, known, or which we cannot visit yet. The dreamy feel of the atmospheres they create are delectable and juicy." – Come Here Floyd

The mechanisms controlling neural stem cell proliferation are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that the PTEN tumor suppressor plays an important role in regulating neural stem/progenitor cells in vivo and in vitro. Mice lacking PTEN exhibited enlarged, histoarchitecturally abnormal brains, which resulted from increased cell proliferation, decreased cell death, and enlarged cell size. Neurosphere cultures revealed a greater proliferation capacity for tripotent Pten –/– central nervous system stem/progenitor cells, which can be attributed, at least in part, to a shortened cell cycle. However, cell fate commitments of the progenitors were largely undisturbed. Our results suggest that PTEN negatively regulates neural stem cell proliferation.

UNEMPLOYMENT insurance
The Bronx and Westchester are at the epicenter of the coronavirus crisis and we need a leader who's in touch with the pain of our communities right now.
Jamaal Bowman is an award-winning Bronx middle school principal living in Yonkers. Bowman has been endorsed by New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and the largest union of nurses in New York State. He was raised in public housing in New York City and has been an educator in public schools for the past twenty years. As principal, Bowman created health clinics, afterschool programs to keep kids safe from gun violence, and helped low-income students get to some of the best colleges in the country. Bowman has already delivered results for thousands of families in our district and now he wants to make sure every child in the district has the same opportunities he did.
Voters need to see that Congressman Eliot Engel has been completely absent in the response to the coronavirus crisis. Voters in the district use one word to describe Engel's leadership in the crisis:
Engel misled his constituents. He pretended to be in the district handing out supplies during this crisis. But he's been at his longtime home in Maryland and hasn't stepped foot in the Bronx or Westchester ever since the pandemic hit in March. After 31 years of an absent Congressman, it's time for a leader who actually lives in our district
Engel hasn't been here for the Bronx and Westchester when we needed it most, and he hasn't been fighting for us. Jamaal Bowman is a Bronx middle school principal who actually lives in the community -- and understands our struggles.
After 31 years of the same representation, it's time for a change.
This crisis is hitting our families hard. Nearly 40 percent of Black and Latino Americans have already missed a rent or utility bill due to the pandemic. That's why Jamaal Bowman is fighting to:
* Keep workers on payroll by providing grants to businesses
* Expand Medicare to cover all coronavirus care and protect health care workers
* Suspend rent and mortgage payments
* Provide emergency monthly cash assistance of $2,000 for every American
No one knows when this pandemic will end, but we can decide what this country will look like when it's over and when we defeat Trump. We're doing everything we can to protect our communities in this crisis. We deserve a representative who will do the same.
Secondarily, voters also could see that Eliot Engel doesn't have the best interests of our community at heart. In Congress, he joined Donald Trump in campaigning against President Obama's signature foreign policy achievement and he's received thousands of dollars in donations from Wall Street and corporations that profit from selling arms overseas. He's focused too much of his time on making America the world's policeman instead of representing our families in the district.
Why Isn't Eliot Engel In New York.
The Atlantic. May 14, 2020.
Last week, Engel's office advertised that he would be part of two such events. He wasn't. I asked Engel about one notice I'd seen on his campaign's Twitter account: an announcement that "Congressman Engel will be joining" other officials for a face- mask giveaway at the city hall in Mount Vernon, New York, on the afternoon of May 8, the day before I showed up at his door.
"Which event?" he asked.
"They were handing out face masks in the district," I said.
"I was part of that," he said.
"But you weren't there?" I said.
"I was not there, no," he said.
Daniels suggested to me that other committee chairs stayed in D.C. after the CARES Act passed. But I checked, and Engel is the only committee chair in the New York delegation who has remained in Washington the entire time since that vote.
NY Rep. Eliot Engel 'completely lost touch' during coronavirus crisis, challenger says.
New York Post. May 14, 2020.
"Engel spokesman Bryant Daniels went on to tell the magazine that the lawmaker had been in Washington 'since passage of the CARES Act" relief fund — on March 27.'"
Report: Engel stays far away from New York, pandemic.
Riverdale Press. May 15, 2020.
"The Atlantic's Edward-Isaac Dovere said he tracked Engel down to his suburban 'Washington home in Potomac, Maryland — a home Dovere says Engel has been huddling at since the end of March, when the House passed one of its first coronavirus financial aid packages. Engel told the reporter that he had been sheltering in both his Potomac and New York homes, although the congressman's spokesman, Bryant Daniels, informed the publication that the last time Engel was in New York was March 27."
New York Nurses Union Endorses Progressive House Challenger
. Huffington Post. May 19, 2020.
"Its reference to Bowman's participation in a protest outside a hospital highlights a key distinction between Bowman and Engel. Bowman was able to join the demonstration because he has remained in the district, which includes parts of the Bronx and Westchester County, throughout the pandemic. Engel has stayed in his family's home in Potomac, Maryland, a ritzy suburb of Washington, D.C."
In New York's 16th Congressional District, A Troubling Early Poll For Longtime Incumbent Eliot Engel
. The Intercept. October 20, 2019.
"Six in 10 registered Democrats in New York's 16th Congressional District aren't sure who they'll vote for in the June 2020 primary — despite longtime incumbent House Foreign Affairs Chair Eliot Engel's place on the ballot — according to a new poll."
"This is a wide open race, Engel is extremely vulnerable, and Jamaal, as a longtime middle school principal in the district, has the momentum and record of service to win this."
Working Families Party, Jumaane Williams endorse Jamaal Bowman's challenge to Rep. Eliot Engel
. New York Daily News, February 11, 2020.
"Jamaal is ready to go to Washington to advocate for public education, racial justice, the end of mass incarceration and a Green New Deal," Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said in a statement. "Unlike too many Democrats in Congress, Jamaal won't just say he supports the right solutions – he'll be a leader in fighting to get them passed."
NY Rep. claims MD home for tax break
The Hill, March 14, 2009
"This seems like sort of a big deal, or at least potential material for political salvos: After claiming he is a lifelong Bronx resident, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) has listed his house in Maryland as his primary residence for at least 10 years to get a tax break."
Prodigal Son
. Riverdale Press, March 19, 2009.
"He's been two-timing the borough with a home in Maryland that he has claimed as a primary residence for tax purposes for the last 10 years, racking up $5,000 in credits. Mr. Engel has never denied his almost million-dollar home in Potomac, Md., an upper-crust suburb just beyond the Beltway, but has never called it his primary residence in public."
Bronx Principal to Challenge Eliot Engel, Powerful House Democrat,
From the Left. New York Times. June 18, 2019,
"Jamaal Bowman, a middle school principal from the Bronx, said Tuesday that he would take on Representative Eliot L. Engel, the 16-term New York Democrat who leads the House Foreign Affairs Committee, joining a rapidly multiplying slate of liberal primary challengers to powerful incumbents in 2020."
Top U.S. House Foreign Affairs Democrat will vote against Iran nuclear deal

On the Cover: Genome-wide screens of differentially expressed genes will be crucial in diverse fields of plant biology in the coming millennium. The fluorescent differential display technique provides us with high reproducibility and high throughput for such screens by utilization of modified fluorescent-labeled primers and fluorescent DNA sequencers. Comparing mRNA fingerprints of the wild type and the phyA mutant of Arabidopsis with and without light irradiation, Kuno et al. (pp. 15–24) have carried out a large-scale screen using this technique and identified 15 phytochrome A-regulated genes from over 30,000 displayed bands, which would cover the majority of expressed mRNA species in Arabidopsis.

School Action Day
School Action Day
Have your say!
Work together to create solutions
Discuss with your peers and staff
Give your feedback and make change
Your voice matters, your course matters
The School Action Day initiative was created to provide students and staff with a space to explore key ideas, issues and areas for improvement by developing solutions together, in a format that is suitable for each School/Department.
The session is inclusive to all staff and students in a School to give feedback on different themes for discussion and working in partnership with School/Course Reps, staff and peers to create positive actions from utilising the student voice.
The Engine Shed, our on-site SU venue.
- To give all students a chance to voice their opinions and talk directly to staff and Reps in a comfortable, informal environment.
- Work with staff to create solutions to enhance the learning experience
- Foster and build a community with other students in an informal setting
But what do I and my School get out by attending a School Action Day?
Most Schools who have taken part in the initiative had separate areas for each theme, and gave students time to give feedback and thoughts on each one before creating "Action Plans" together in how these ideas could be implemented. Some example actions that have come from a School Action Day include:
- Reviewing the organisation of the Blackboard page - including the clarity of Course Reps and how to contact them and Careers information such as upcoming workshops and placement opportunities
- Standardised assessment marking rubric to make feedback more consistent across modules
- Introducing a Buddy System
- Introducing a Social Committee to increase social activities across the School and foster a community
- Introducing a 10% participation mark to encourage participation in lectures/seminars, online forums and Student Engagement activities

"The experience exceeded my expectations. The attendance was fantastic and the views of the students were communicated clearly. I found that students gave much more insightful and impact feedback through this medium compared to the views aired in module evaluations. The event was well-structured and the five topics were distinct, preventing overlap. This is an event all Schools should be doing."
"I enjoyed the experience. I felt it helped both the lecturers and students to understand one another's point of views, and why certain things are done the way they are. It also gave us the chance to offer solutions or other ways of doing things that the course leaders hadn't thought of before and courses/programmes that they may start in the future."
"I really enjoyed the Action Day, it provided the opportunity to hear the thoughts and opinions of others and to work with staff in the first steps of making a lasting change to our school. I found the event to be organised and well time managed, especially when considering that was the first of its kind for the School."

Earlier this month, a good man with the nickname Alex in the comments to this article, leave a small and useful message, in which he proposed to register in the cloud service Wuala by Lacie. But the interesting thing is that now you can get a free 14 GB of disk space instead of the standard gigabytes.
Wuala is designed for remote data storage, but unlike the more popular competitor – service Dropbox – no need to hold on all computers in the same files, taking up precious disk space. The user only need to send data to the service and download them if necessary.
Advertisement Wuala offer to register for a free account with a quota of 1 GB or select one of moving back plans for a subscription (Pro), each of which differs in terms of allotted space on company servers, and cost. Also, Pro-users have access to selective synchronization, system backup and version control, access files directly from the Finder using the very familiar MacFuse, working together with other subscribers of the service, access rights management and sharing direct links to the stored files.
But you need to do to get the promised at the beginning of Article 14 gigabytes of disk space? Required to perform only a few very simple steps.
To get started, download and install java-client Wuala ( DMG , 31.7 MB) from the official site, and then run the program and start the registration procedure. Fill in the login and password, and in the field «Promo code (optional)» enter 20-digit code, then immediately get an extra gigabyte of disk space "in the cloud» Wuala:
It now remains to go to the client configuration (⌘ +,) and in the tab "Buy disk space" turns to introduce such additional promotional codes that were added to the existing quota for 1 extra gigabyte (except the last one – for it gives 2 GB):
Voila! Our standard disk quota increased by 14 times. The commentary was another code COMPUTER-HOY, but I have not, because he "no longer available." In addition, the appendix was reported that my flower in asechka went gold conventional account is automatically turned into a Pro.
As is the case with Dropbox, Wuala can still get 6GB free, if your referral link to register all new user (you get a bonus and he is). In my opinion, 14 gigabytes free, with access at any time of the Mac OS X, Windows and Linux, as well as two popular mobile platforms iOS and Android, are good enough offer.
Try, anyway, is worth it!

United In Love Series
Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Jun 2, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Setting a purpose for Christian living.
Christians without goals are a little like Alice in the fairy tale 'Alice in Wonderland'. In a conversation between her and the Cheshire Cat, Alice asked, 'Would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here'? 'That depends a good deal on where you want to get to', said the cat. 'I don't much care where', said Alice. 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go', said the cat.
Mark Twain shortly before his death wrote, 'A myriad of men are born; they labour and sweat and struggle;...they squabble and scold and fight; they scramble for little mean advantages over each other; age creeps upon them; infirmities follow; ...those they love are taken from them, and the joy of life is turned to aching grief. It (the release) comes at last--the only unpoisoned gift earth ever had for them—and they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence […] a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever'.
The apostle Paul wants us to have purpose and direction in life. He wants us to have the full riches of complete understanding which come from being in Christ. The Lord Jesus gives us purpose and direction in life.
Imagine we are with Nympha in her house church as Paul's letter is being read (Col 4:15). The apostle opens by praising our faith in the Lord and Jesus and our love for one another. He prays that we will continue in our Christian walk as God fills us with a knowledge of his will. The apostle rejoices in the person and work of Christ, such praise lifting our church to new heights as we reflect upon the grace which has been lavished upon us. The Christ whom we now worship partakes of the divine nature, his primacy touches every part of creation, and he is the head of the new creation which is the church. This same Christ reconciled us to God. Once we were alienated, lost, we rejected God's rule over us. But we who were unholy have been made holy through Christ's death on the cross. And so we have a wonderful hope laid out before us if we continue trusting the Lord with great endurance and patience, giving thanks to the Father in everything.
Then Paul truly opens his heart to us as he speaks of his labour for our church. He has given so much of himself in order to support us. He says that God commissioned him as a servant in order to present to us the word of God in its fullness (Col 1:25). We ought to remember that we have Christ in us, the hope of glory. Paul is labouring with all his energy to present us mature in Christ (Col 1:28). There's been lots of encouragement in his letter. Paul does not tire in commending us for our continuing faith in the Lord Jesus. Now, before moving on to address the spiritual opposition confronting us, the apostle tells us the purpose of his writing, so that we might be built up in Christ, so that we are well prepared for the scoundrels that constantly question our salvation.
Come with me to chapter 2, verses 1 to 3, 'I want you to know how much I am struggling for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge'.
Paul begins this section with a beautiful conjunction of words, 'My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love'. The truth of the gospel sets us free. Within the cradle of gospel truth, we are called to unity and to a wonderfully expressive freedom which comes when following Christ. After a service of ordination, a sad-faced woman came up to the newly-ordained pastor and said, 'It's a grand thing you are doing as a young man—giving up the joys of life to serve the Lord'. There's a commonly held belief that to be serious about our faith means that all joy is gone. But the apostle states the contrary, 'My purpose is that their hearts may be comforted, being knitted together in love'.
Paul is concerned about our spiritual state. His purpose isn't that we be healthy and merry, and rich, and great, and prosperous; his purpose is that our hearts may be encouraged and comforted through the trials of this world. Matthew Henry says, 'The prosperity of the soul is the best prosperity, and what we should be most solicitous about for ourselves and others'.

Dietz Standard Grade Lanterns
Brief History
Robert Edwin Dietz first began selling whale oil and camphene lamps and lanterns in 1840 at the age of 22. Robert and his brother Michael patented the first practical flat wick burner especially designed for the then new fuel oil, kerosene, in 1859. The following decade Robert sold his interest in "Dietz & Company" to begin manufacturing "Irwin Patent" tubular lanterns after buying the defunct Archer and Pancoast Company from a receiver in 1868. Since that time the R.E. Dietz Company manufactured hundreds of lantern models, and pioneered the automotive lighting industry. The new lanterns offered below are not reproductions, but are a continuation of production on original tooling and presses, with some models now over 100 years old. The lantern division of the R. E. Dietz Company moved to Hong Kong in 1956, and all Dietz lantern production ceased in the U.S.A. in 1970. In 1982 the Dietz lantern factory was moved from Hong Kong into China. The R.E. Dietz Company was closed in the United States in 1992. For nearly 150 years, Dietz lanterns have been known around the world as "The Old Reliable."

We are for the challengers, the visionaries, the bold ones–the brands, organizations and individuals that strive to do well, and do good. Or at least those that are trying their damnest to do less bad. Those that are aiming high for solutions to big problems. And who want a healthy financial bottom line, along with a healthy social and environmental top line.
This "double bottom line" can be manifested in any number of ways — through a company's product or service, its sourcing and elimination of production materials, a true commitment to recycling, pollution prevention or energy conservation, its attention to stakeholders in the community, how employees are treated, or a myriad of other ways. We work with clients in a diverse set of industries — from organic food to green building, from energy efficiency to socially responsible investment, from health and wellness to personal care, and everything in between. Every client represents a fascinating new challenge, because what unites all of these organizations is a drive for true cultural change, a focus on innovation for the sake of human and planetary health.
egg shares a passion and perspective with these forward-thinking companies, and we are committed to helping them succeed using brand as a tool for change. We are living in a time of explosive cultural change, as awareness of limited planetary resources and unsustainable practices becomes widespread, and we love working with the changemakers who are not content to perpetuate business as usual.
