Amid an overall market correction, many stocks that smart money investors were collectively bullish on tanked during the fourth quarter. Among them, Amazon and Netflix ranked among the top 30 picks and both lost around 20%. Facebook, which was the second most popular stock, lost 14% amid uncertainty regarding the interest rates and tech valuations. Nevertheless, our research shows that most of the stocks that smart money likes historically generate strong risk-adjusted returns. This is why following the smart money sentiment is a useful tool at identifying the next stock to invest in.
Hedge fund interest in United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI) shares was flat at the end of last quarter. This is usually a negative indicator. At the end of this article we will also compare UCBI to other stocks including Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR), Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), and Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO) to get a better sense of its popularity.
Hedge funds' reputation as shrewd investors has been tarnished in the last decade as their hedged returns couldn't keep up with the unhedged returns of the market indices. Our research has shown that hedge funds' large-cap stock picks indeed failed to beat the market between 1999 and 2016. However, we were able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that outperformed the market by 18 percentage points since May 2014 through December 3, 2018 (see the details here). We were also able to identify in advance a select group of hedge fund holdings that'll significantly underperform the market. We have been tracking and sharing the list of these stocks since February 2017 and they lost 24% through December 3, 2018. That's why we believe hedge fund sentiment is an extremely useful indicator that investors should pay attention to.
Let's view the new hedge fund action surrounding United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI).
Hedge fund activity in United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI)
Heading into the fourth quarter of 2018, a total of 14 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on this stock, no change from the previous quarter. By comparison, 9 hedge funds held shares or bullish call options in UCBI heading into this year. With hedgies' sentiment swirling, there exists a select group of noteworthy hedge fund managers who were boosting their holdings considerably (or already accumulated large positions).
More specifically, Renaissance Technologies was the largest shareholder of United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI), with a stake worth $31.2 million reported as of the end of September. Trailing Renaissance Technologies was Millennium Management, which amassed a stake valued at $14 million. AQR Capital Management, D E Shaw, and GLG Partners were also very fond of the stock, giving the stock large weights in their portfolios.
Because United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI) has faced declining sentiment from the aggregate hedge fund industry, it's safe to say that there were a few hedgies who sold off their entire stakes heading into Q3. Intriguingly, Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group dumped the biggest stake of the "upper crust" of funds tracked by Insider Monkey, totaling an estimated $6.2 million in stock. Dmitry Balyasny's fund, Balyasny Asset Management, also dumped its stock, about $1.1 million worth. These transactions are interesting, as aggregate hedge fund interest stayed the same (this is a bearish signal in our experience).
Let's go over hedge fund activity in other stocks – not necessarily in the same industry as United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI) but similarly valued. These stocks are Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR), Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO), and Cadence Bancorporation (NYSE:CADE). This group of stocks' market caps are closest to UCBI's market cap.

View table here if you experience formatting issues.
As you can see these stocks had an average of 23.25 hedge funds with bullish positions and the average amount invested in these stocks was $344 million. That figure was $75 million in UCBI's case. Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE:NBR) is the most popular stock in this table. On the other hand Terreno Realty Corporation (NYSE:TRNO) is the least popular one with only 12 bullish hedge fund positions. United Community Banks Inc (NASDAQ:UCBI) is not the least popular stock in this group but hedge fund interest is still below average. This is a slightly negative signal and we'd rather spend our time researching stocks that hedge funds are piling on. In this regard NBR might be a better candidate to consider a long position.

Ningo Prampram Member of Parliament has taken a swipe at government's repeated citing of the Russia-Ukraine war as one of the key factors that has occasioned the current economic downturn.
The lawmaker in a social media post intimated that it appeared as though Ghana was even more impacted by the war than the countries involved.
Aside the war, government has also cited the adverse impact of COVID-19 for the economic hurdles and for which reason President Akufo-Addo has ordered Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to begin talks over a programme with the International Monetary Fund, IMF.
"Seems to me that the Russia-Ukraine war is being fought somewhere in Ghana. We appear to be more affected than Russia and Ukraine combined," Sam George wrote in his July 4, 2022 post.
Other opposition voices who have chastised government for using the war as a main factor to the economic woes of Ghana include MPs Caissel Ato-Forson and Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The National Democratic Congress General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has also waded into the issue with the argument that why are other West African countries surviving the war without going to the IMF.
"The government makes it appear as though the war by passed all other African countries and pitched its tent in Ghana," he said in an interview on Okay FM on July 4, 2022.
President Akufo-Addo ordered Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to approach the IMF with a programme for support amid an economic downturn. A team from the Fund is expected in town on July 6 to start engagements to that effect.
Meanwhile, Oppong-Nkrumah has disclosed that the President will address the nation over the IMF issue but did not give a specific date.

By Calvin L. Troup
St. Augustine of Hippo, mostly thought of the best philosopher of Christian antiquity, has lengthy ruled theological conversations. Augustine's legacy as a theologian endures. in spite of the fact that, Augustine's contributions to rhetoric and the philosophy of conversation stay fairly uncharted. Augustine for the Philosophers recovers those contributions, revisiting Augustine's prominence within the paintings of continental philosophers who formed rhetoric and the philosophy of verbal exchange within the 20th century. Hannah Arendt, Albert Camus, Jacques Ellul, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Martin Heidegger, Edmund Husserl, Jean-François Lyotard, and Paul Ricoeur are paired with Augustine in major conversations as regards to the heart in their work.
Augustine for the Philosophers dares to carry Augustine's rhetoric and philosophy in dynamic pressure along with his Christianity, frightening severe reconsideration of Augustine, his presence in twentieth-century continental idea, and his effect upon smooth rhetoric and communique experiences.

An previous, self-described "very conservative evangelical" reviewer criticized the essays during this assortment for his or her "questionable" liberal conclusions. it truly is curious how assorted humans can learn a similar textual content and arrive at assorted conclusions. my very own examining of this anthology is that the essays attempt (perhaps overly a lot, in reality) to stick in the midst of the line.

Clarity" of expression, which he understands to lie at the heart of such teaching, is especially important for Augustine. " So, for example, Good teachers have, or should have such a desire to teach that if a word in good Latin is necessarily ambiguous or obscure, the vulgar manner of speech is used so that ambiguity or obscurity may be avoided and the expression is not that of the learned but of the unlearned. . What profits correctness in a speech which is not followed by the listeners when .
God is the Great Avower: the one who declares most assuredly, openly, bluntly, and without shame. Such an open declaration or avowal is, of course, also known as an instance of acknowledgment. By way of this phenomenon, God created the place where all other acts of acknowledgment could happen. The importance of the phenomenon should be obvious: without God's original act of acknowledgment, nothing exists. Without acknowledgment, God has nothing to do. Without acknowledgment, God is a rather vacuous concept.
60 Therefore, it is interesting to note that Arendt and Heidegger ultimately modify their neoplatonic readings of Confessions, book 10. For example, Heidegger says in his lecture notes that "the frui is . . "61 Arendt makes a similar observation from book 10: it is in this context that Augustine definitely departs from contemporary philosophical teachings, Stoic and neoplatonic, and strikes out on his own. For unlike epictetus or Plotinus, he did not find either self-sufficiency or serenity in this inner region of the self.

Rosie's Skinny Jeans and Slouchy Boots Combo Looks Really Expensive
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley posted a mirror selfie of her outfit yesterday, and we can't decide what we want more — her beautiful marble dressing room, the unbelievable amount of storage to her right or her perfect blazer, jeans and boots combo. We're leaning towards the boots.
Rosie often favours simple styling, staying devoted to an ultra-elegant, minimal aesthetic. She usually wears skinny jeans with an impeccably tailored blazer or coat and then a stand-out pair of earrings, boots or a handbag. When it comes to blazers, she often opts for oversized, boxier fits with strong shoulder pads, and this time she is wearing a burnt orange style, which is bolder than her usual pinstripe and black jackets.
Her boots are the real talking point of the outfit, however, as she wore a pair of scrunched knee-high white boots by new shoe designer Amina Muaddi tucked into her black super skinny jeans. Rosie captioned the picture 'white boots make a look', and we have to agree with her.

Work on the expansion of Kariba South power plant is 85 percent complete, with the first 150 MW unit expected to be operational in December, a spokesman for power utility ZESA has said.
The southern African nation is currently upgrading its ageing hydroelectric power plant, which was initially set up in 1962, to add 300 megawatts to the plant's current capacity of 750MW.
"The extension project is now 85 percent complete with most of the water intake and powerhouse construction works almost complete," Fullard Gwasira said.
"The Zimbabwe Power Company is on course to complete the project by March 2018, with the first unit being targeted to contribute 150MW to the national electricity grid by December 2017. A further 150MW will be (on) the grid by March 2018."
Chinese firm Sino Hydro is undertaking the expansion work, with China also providing the bulk of the $533 million funding.
The Kariba expansion is one of the several projects Zimbabwe is undertaking to increase its power generation capacity.
Its electricity demand stands at 1 400MW while actual generation is around 980MW with the balance augmented by imports from South Africa and Mozambique.
Last week, Zesa Holdings chief executive, Josh Chifamba said the power utility was struggling to pay South Africa's Eskom for the supplies which could lead to rolling power cuts.
"Electricity is a key driver of the national socio-economic spectrum and its stability leads to national development," said Gwasira.
Zimbabwe's plans to upgrade its oldest coal fired power plant — Hwange — in a $1.3 billion project which is expected to increase generation capacity by 600MW are in limbo.
The project has stalled as talks for a $1.1 billion loan from China Exim Bank have dragged on since 2014 and missed several restarts.
Currently Hwange is generating about 716MW from an installed capacity of 920MW. – The Source

Richard Jefferson: 'LeBron James And Carmelo Anthony Weren't Even In The Top 30 Of People That Were Selected'
Carmelo Anthony recently revealed a pact he made with LeBron James in the summer of 2004. Team USA attended the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens with an alternative team that failed to get the gold, changing the way USA Basketball picked its player for international tournaments.
Melo talked with UNINTERRUPTED to describe the pact he made with James. Shawn Marion and Richard Jefferson played ahead of him and Bron, which made the young players angry.
"They're playing in front of us? Really?' That was me and Bron's mentality," Melo said.
As to that, Jefferson replied saying Melo wasn't ready for that stage. RJ did say he wasn't either but also saying all they three weren't even part of the top 30 players that got selected to play in the Olympics.
"Carmelo is the greatest USA men's basketball player internationally that this country has ever seen," Jefferson added. "So I'm not going to look at him and disrespect him. I'm not going to disrespect our careers, but even if you go back and look at the next three times we played against each other, the very first game we played against each other, I had to go back and look at the stats because I saw the clip.
"I had 26 (points) and 11 (rebounds) and held Carmelo to nine points. So Carmelo was not ready at the time. Now I understand he was in his first or second year, and his career is far greater than mine. That's not the conversation. But in that moment, at that time, Carmelo wasn't ready, I truly wasn't ready."
He also recalled that players like Tracy McGrady, Ray Allen, Jason Kidd or Mike Bibby opted not to play in the tournament, which led to USA Basketball to send an alternative team to Greece.
"They weren't even in the top 30 of people that were selected," Jefferson said on ESPN's The Jump.
That team didn't live up to the expectations and failed to win the tournament. Now we know there were a lot of things happening there that ultimately led them to fail in Athens.

Welcome to my virtual library! My name is Shay Denney. I'm a preservice teacher with a mad love of words in any format. Here is where I plan to store all of my favorite books for a variety of levels.
Shel Silverstein captured the hearts of families from far and wide with his book The Giving Tree. Where the Sidewalk Ends is no different, despite being very different. This collection of poetry and simplistic illustrations ranges from funny to raw to very, very real.

Sum-of-Squares Approach to Global Stability and Control of Fluid Flows
Lead Research Organisation: University of Oxford
Department Name: Engineering Science
The Navier-Stokes equations governing motion of incompressible fluid have a polynomial nonlinearity. This project will achieve its goals by applying sum-of-squares approach to stability and control of the fluid flows governed by these equations. This will require development of new advanced analytical techniques combined with extensive numerical calculations. The project has a fundamental nature, with main expected outcomes being applicable to a large variety of fluid flows. The rotating Taylor-Couette flow will be the first object to which the developed methods will be applied. Taylor-Couette flow, encountered in a wide range of industrial application, for a variety of reasons has an iconic status in the stability theory, traditionally serving as a test-bench for new methods.
In order to maximise the impact of the research, the project collaborators will conduct targeted dissemination activities for industry and academia in the form of informal and formal workshops, in addition to traditional dissemination routes of journal papers and conferences. Selected representatives from industry will be invited to attend the workshops. Wider audience will be reached via a specially created and continuously maintained web page.

|The aim of this project is to understand the properties of systems described by partial differential equations, such as the ones describing the motion of fluids, using computational techniques that do not need to solve these equations.
A major milestone was to be able to computationally verify that certain integral inequalities hold. We have developed a method to do that and this opens the way to apply this method to a number of problems related to dynamical systems in areas such as fluid mechanics, chemical reactions and heat transfer, all described by partial differential equations. This method is being used by other academics to answer questions about their models, without the need to simulate them.
|Exploitation Route
|By using the software package we developed (intsostools, https://github.com/gvalmorbida/INTSOSTOOLS) and also using our mathematical results.
|The project's aim is to find a way to understand mathematical models of physical systems described by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) without solving these PDEs. The results we obtained are theoretical and mathematical in nature but we expect that in the future they will be used to result in societal and economical impact. Especially since the final publication of the JFM paper, we expect that industry will be interested in adopting some of our techniques to provide provable bounds on properties of their designs.

At Big Paddock, they are farming eggs just the way the hens like it. Their hens have the run of big open paddocks where they can spend their days roaming, foraging and socialising. At night, they come home to a comfortable hen house, safe from predators. This is pure free-range farming which is evident in the taste of their eggs.
Their farmers share values around providing a great environment to raise hens and demonstrate the best of hen keeping practices to look after the hens, and provide an absolute guarantee of where the eggs come from. When you purchase big paddock eggs, you're sourcing ethically raised eggs from people who genuinely care for their animals.
If you're looking for delicious, fresh, free-range eggs, choose Big Paddock. You can be totally confident you're choosing a food that is good for you and your family in so many ways.

Modify your webcam video stream by adding various effects and overlays to make it look more interesting, capture snapshots and record the desktop.
- AlterCam
- Version :4.1 Build 467
- License :Demo
- OS :Windows All
- Publisher :Bolide Software
AlterCam Description
Ever since Internet connection speed is no longer a bother for most people, video streaming has become a common and almost indispensable feature when it comes to chatting with friends or family members online.
The attention has now shifted toward the quality of the video feed, as well as various image effects that can be applied to enhance it.
Add a wide range of effects and overlays directly on your webcam stream
AlterCam is an application that enables you to add a bit of fun to your video chat sessions, by applying various effects to alter your webcam stream. The choices include grayscale, negative and mosaic effects and you can combine them in any way you wish to obtain the desired result. The modifications can be previewed inside the program, which has a built-in webcam viewer.
One of the other useful features of AlterCam is the ability to send the effects to multiple applications at the same time, while also getting around the "Webcam busy" error that usually pops up when you are trying to open more than one instance.
Decorate the feed with overlay or underlay images
You can add overlay images on top of your webcam video to switch the environment and entertain your friends. The available choices include TV screen frames, butterflies, flowers and various other frames you can use to decorate the video window. If you are not satisfied with the premade images, the application enables you to add your own creations, both as overlay and underlay effects.
AlterCam comes with full HD support for the 1080p resolution, which allows you to stream the highest quality videos and use detailed images for the overlay effect. In case you have more than one webcam connected to your computer, the application can detect all of them and enables you to choose the preferred source device to apply the effects on.
In conclusion
The simple and lightweight interface of AlterCam allows you to easily take advantage of every function, with minimal computer skills required. It also sets itself apart from other such applications, thanks to its ability to support multiple streams at the same time and the fact that you can add your own effects.

Archaeology of Reading project
The Archaeology of Reading in Early Modern Europe (AOR) uses digital technologies to enable the systematic exploration of the historical reading practices of Renaissance scholars nearly 450 years ago. This is possible through AOR's corpus of thirty-six fully digitized and searchable versions of early printed books filled with tens of thousands of handwritten notes, left by two of the most dedicated readers of the early modern period: John Dee and Gabriel Harvey.

Thus, the sensitive seismographer of avant-garde develop-ments, Walter Benjamin, logically conceived of this scenario in 1928, of communicationwith card indices rather than books: "And even today, as the current scientific methodteaches us, the book is an archaic intermediate between two different card indexsystems. For everything substantial is found in the slip box of the researcher who wroteit and the scholar who studies in it, assimilated into its own card index." 47
- Walter Benjamin, Einbahnstra ß e, in Gesammelte Schriften, vol. 4 (Frankfurt am Main: Suhrkamp Verlag, 1928/1981), 98 – 140, at 103.
Does Walter Benjamin prefigure the idea of card indexes conversing with themselves in a communicative method similar to that of Vannevar Bush's Memex?
This definitely sounds like the sort of digital garden inter-communication afforded by the Anagora as suggested by @Flancian.

To make a more radical correction, printers could also replace a whole page or quire with a new one (called a cancel).
Medieval manuscripts did not include title pages, and bibliographers identify them by incipit or opening words: no special markers were needed to recognize a book that one had commissioned and waited for while it was copied.185 By contrast, a printed book needed to ap-peal to buyers who had no advance knowledge of the book, so the title page served as an advertisement, announcing title and author, printer and/or book-seller (where the book could be purchased), generally a date of publication, and also additional boasts about useful features—"very copious indexes" or a "cor-rected and much augmented" text. T
On leaf numbering in the Middle Ages, see Saenger (1996), 258, 275–76, and Stoneman (1999), 6. Saenger notes nonetheless that printing created the context in which leaf numbering flourished in both print and manuscript.
Leaf numbering was seen in the Middle Ages, but printing in the Renaissance greatly increased the number of books with page numbers.

Indeed, the Jose-phinian card index owes its continued use to the failure to achieve a bound
catalog, until a successor card catalog comes along in 1848. Only the<br /> absence of a bound repertory allows the paper slip aggregate to answer all inquiries about a book ' s whereabouts after 1781. Thus, a failed undertaking tacitly turns into a success story.
The Josephinian card index was created, in part on the ideas of Konrad Gessner's slip method, by accumulating slips which could be rearranged and then copied down permanently. While there was the chance that the original cards could be disordered, the fact that the approximately 300,000 cards in 205 small boxes were estimated to fill 50 to 60 folio volumes with time and expense to print it dissuaded the creation of a long desired compiled book of books. These problems along with the fact that new books being added later was sure to only compound problems of having a single reference. This failure to have a bound catalog of books unwittingly resulted in the success of the index card catalog.

I've been wanting to read Zinn, so perhaps this is a good place to follow along? A sort of pseudo book club perhaps?
It's interesting to see Dan struggle with an obvious listicle article in Forbes as an authoritative source. This example is a great indicator that Forbes online has created far too much of a content farm to be taken seriously anymore. From what I've seen of it over the past several years it's followed the business model of The Huffington Post before Huffington sold it and cashed out. My supposition is that Forbes is providing a platform for people to get reach and isn't actually paying those writers to create their content.

Yeah, this is what I hope our readings of Melville do: make the act of reading, in all its materiality, move to the foreground.
I decided to read Little Dorrit four ways: paperback, audiobook, Kindle, and iPhone.
Okay, so the piece shows its age a bit here, but the broad point about the "liquid text" that can be poured into different formats/containers is still quite relevant. I note, though, that the author slips between medium and material support here. An audiobook is a medium that can be materialized various ways (as we discussed last week, wax cylinder, LP, cassette, smartphone), whereas the Kindle is a piece of plastic, a "material support" in the book history lingo.

This is due to an implementation detail of QEMU+KVM, which remaps cached host memory into the guest address space as a framebuffer behind a PCI BAR. Given that the purpose of a memory mapped framebuffer is its side effects, such BARs should never be mapped cacheable in the guest, and the mismatched attributes between host and guest result in a loss of coherency, visible as corruption in the framebuffer image. This issue does not occur under TCG emulation, nor did we expect it to actually bring down the guest under KVM, and so it was deemed harmless to keep support for the VGA device as well. However, as it turns out, the fact that the framebuffer BAR is mapped using device semantics by default may result in unalignment faults when we use the ordinary string copy routines on the contents. In theory, we could work around this by remapping the BAR as write combining, but it appears the generic PCI bus driver does not actually implement this. So let's remove the QemuVideoDxe driver altogether. This may result in loss of functionality for use cases that rely on the framebuffer to be directly addressable (such as EFIFB), but given that this never worked reliably under KVM in the first place, let's not let that stop us from dropping support for it.

New brands are great to see in the world of watch manufacturing, especially in Ireland, which has never really been a major player in watchmaking. But the great thing about today's market is that lots of Indie brands can find a factory partner, design house and get something into production quickly.
The Magon brand has a watch enthusiast at the helm and its debut model sets the tone; bespoke, Swiss engineering, luxury detailing.
The Forsa is available in two variations. One has a polished titanium case while the other has a PVD carbon black coating on the case. We love the vivid emerald green strap by the way, which is another Magon bespoke touch.
Inside there is a Swiss sourced chronograph auto, made by La Joux Perret and modified by Magon. It has a 43mm wide case, which is tonneau style capturing the fashion of the 70s. The dial, with bold markers and plenty of lume is modern though. No date feature, just three sub-second dials.
There are just 50 pieces being made of the Forsa Dubh, which is the carbon case model, price is 11,800 plus VAT.

How to avoid getting traveler's diarrhea or food poisoning
Traveler's diarrhea is not only inconvenient and unpleasant, it can be a serious travel health risk. Here are the top tips to avoid getting traveler's diarrhea or food poisoning.
I knew better, I really did. Still, that sauce from the buffet at the restaurant in Morocco looked harmless enough. Seems it wasn't, and now I was making my way from toilet stop to toilet stop and praying the meds I had just started would work their magic soon. Traveler's diarrhea (a.k.a. Montezuma's revenge, Delhi belly, Aztec two-step, tourista, the runs, food poisoning, or whatever popular name you wish to call it from whatever part of the globe) is not only inconvenient and unpleasant, it can become a serious health risk.
On another trip to China's Yunnan Province, every member of our small group ended up doing the bathroom dash and worshiping at the porcelain throne after one particular restaurant stop. For one member of our group, the unceasing diarrhea and vomiting led to an emergency room visit and I.V. drips for severe dehydration.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention if your travels will be taking you to Central America, South America, Mexico, Africa, Middle East, or Asia (excluding Japan and South Korea), you may be at increased risk of some form of traveler's diarrhea.
Mild diarrhea may be brought on by the stress of travel or even a change in diet, some experts think, but then that passes quickly. Continuous tummy grumbles that send you running is most often caused by that infamous bacteria E. coli, the most common of culprits in travelers getting ill. Less frequently, the one to blame is the salmonella bacterium.
How do these bacteria cause such a ruckus in your body? At the risk of getting a bit gross, the onset of the squirts comes about after ingesting food or water that's contaminated. That can come from bacteria from feces – animal or human – as well as hands that are not washed properly, water that is not purified properly, inadequate sanitation methods, and poor food storage techniques. And if you are wondering why the locals are not afflicted by drinking the same water and eating the same food, it is because their bodies have become accustomed to the bacteria and have developed an immunity of sorts.
The good news, though, is that you can take preventive steps to ensure you are less likely to experience diarrhea when traveling. How?
Prevent traveler's diarrhea by following these universal rules:
- Do not eat raw fruit or vegetables – e.g. fruit salad, salsa, fresh sauces. They may look fresh and yummy, but you have no idea how they were washed.
- Only eat fruit you can wash and peel yourself – e.g. apples, oranges, bananas.
- Only eat vegetables that have been cooked.
- Do not drink directly out of soda cans, juice cans or bottles. Take along a metal straw and always drink from that.
- Avoid fresh fruit juices from street vendors since you do not know how the fruit has been washed.
- Do not drink tap water, ever! We use a variety of water purifiers that include the Grayl water bottle and the Katadyn BeFree. We use the water we have filtered for drinking and to brush our teeth at a hotel. In a restaurant, always ask for bottled water and insist the bottle be opened in front of you (there are reports of restaurants just refilling bottled water with tap water).
- Never add ice to your drinks. Ice is likely made from impure water and will immediately flood even your bottled water with bacterial nastiness. I learned this lesson the hard way in Vietnam a few years ago.
- Never eat off wet plates. If a waiter or waitress brings you a wet plate, dry it off thoroughly first – ask for extra napkins if need be. Maybe consider additional cleaning with anti-bacterial wipes
- Don't eat food that is sitting at room temperature for an unknown amount of time – like on a buffet. That was my mistake in Morocco…. The sauce was from a buffet. I knew better but dropped my guard.
- Wash your hands after touching money, stair rails, door handles, or even somebody else such as after shaking hands. Anything you touch can be a Petri dish for bacteria and illness. Sanitize your hands frequently, too, with a traveler's good friend, hand sanitizer.
So how do you know you have some form of traveler's diarrhea?
- Feeling bloated with excessive gas and cramping is your first sign things might not be right down under.
- You feel an urgent and frequent need to defecate and stools are loose or watery.
- Vomiting is a sign that the food poisoning you are experiencing is a bit more serious. Often, you will be vomiting and feeling the need to defecate – yeah, things flowing from both ends, and it isn't fun.
- Fever can happen with some people as well as chills.
What's in our travel medical kit just in case?
This is what we carry with us in our medical kit when we are traveling anywhere traveler's diarrhea might be an issue.
- Hand sanitizer – Washing your hands is best, but in between that or when you aren't able, slather on the sanitizer after you touch anything, before you eat anything, or even shake hands with others.
- Anti-bacterial wipes – Use these to wipe eating surfaces, cutlery, plates, and glasses.
- Toilet paper – You can't count on foreign toilets to have any on hand.
- Ginger tea or ginger chews, antacids, or even mint tea – Can help to settle an uneasy digestive system. Ginger can be very good for motion sickness, too.
- Imodium or other antidiarrheal – sufficient quantity for a week for each person.
- Zithromax (generic Azithromycin, commonly called "Z-pack") – with a prescription from your doctor and used upon advice of your physician.
What do you do if you get traveler's diarrhea?
Try taking over-the-counter medication. Consult with your physician in all cases. Medications such as Imodium can work to decrease the urgency and frequency of needing to use the bathroom. If your physician approves, this can be a lifesaver when your symptoms are not too severe, and you still want to explore a city, or ride a bus or airplane without feeling the need for a desperate sprint to a toilet every few minutes.
Mild diarrhea will often clear on its own. Mild cases of traveler's diarrhea will typically improve on their own within one to two days and will clear up completely within a week.
Eat bland foods when you can eat again. Suggested are plain crackers, rice, bananas or plain toast.
Antibiotics are a last resort, and only in consultation with a physician. I swear by the Z-pack antibiotics I have taken on several occasions to knock down a severe case of traveler's diarrhea when it didn't go away in a couple of days. But like with any medication, you should not take anything without first consulting your physician to determine what's best for you. And then be sure to take any antibiotics exactly as prescribed.
See a doctor or head to the hospital immediately if:
- Your severe diarrhea persists more than two days even after treatment
- You can't keep fluids down and are likely to become dehydrated
- You have severe abdominal or rectal pain
- You have bloody or black stools
- You have a fever above 102 degrees Fahrenheit (39 degrees Celsius)

There is developing pushback among the the wellness care neighborhood about Florida's choice to recommend from vaccinating healthy young children for COVID-19, with an increasing selection of health and fitness officials coming forward to strongly criticize the transfer.
On Monday, Florida Surgeon Standard Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo declared his state would turn out to be the to start with in the region to make this sort of a official suggestion.
"The Florida Section of Wellness is likely to be the initial state to formally endorse versus the COVID-19 vaccines for nutritious little ones," Ladapo mentioned at the close of a 90-minute roundtable dialogue in West Palm Beach, Florida, hosted by Gov. Ron DeSantis, aimed to near the curtain on the "COVID theater after and for all."
Even so, criticism quickly adopted, coming from a lot of of the nation's main wellbeing officers.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, and its Florida chapter, named the choice "irresponsible," reasserting that the COVID-19 vaccine is still the nation's "very best hope for ending the pandemic."
"The Surgeon General's responses right now misrepresent the added benefits of the vaccine, which has been demonstrated to prevent critical ailment, hospitalizations and extended-phrase signs or symptoms from COVID-19 in young children and adolescents, which include those people who are normally wholesome," American Academy of Pediatrics Florida Chapter President Lisa Gwynn reported in a statement Monday.
"The evidence is apparent that when people are vaccinated, they are substantially fewer probable to get pretty ill and require clinic treatment. There is widespread consensus among medical and general public wellness specialists about the existence-saving gains of this vaccine," Gwynn claimed.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, together with the Facilities for Sickness Management and Avoidance, have also been vocal in their assistance of pediatric COVID-19 vaccinations, stressing to mother and father that genuine-globe info has shown that vaccines are risk-free and helpful at guarding kids versus severe illness, as effectively as against probable long-expression effects from the virus.
"Children can get unwell from COVID, and some get extremely unwell," AAP President Dr. Moira Szilagyi claimed. "The virus is nonetheless circulating in Florida. … It is irresponsible to suggest dad and mom not to vaccinate their kids against this virus."
The Infectious Disorders Modern society of The us also issued a potent assertion in opposition to the shift, which the corporation explained as "disturbing."
"The Florida Surgeon General's choice to recommend from COVID-19 vaccination for balanced youngsters flies in the confront of the best health-related advice and only serves to additional sow distrust in vaccines that have proven to be the most secure, most efficient protection versus intense COVID-19 disease, hospitalization and demise," Dr. Daniel P. McQuillen, president of the Infectious Conditions Modern society of The usa stated in a statement on Tuesday, additional suggesting that Florida's decision "set politics more than the overall health and basic safety of youngsters."
"Vaccinating eligible little ones in opposition to COVID-19 not only shields them, but it also protects their classmates, pals and vulnerable family members customers from a virus that has remaining approximately 1 million individuals in the United States useless in its two-year wake," McQuillen extra.
Amid the other voices in the refrain of problems is Dr. David R. Nelson, president of UF Overall health and senior vice president for well being affairs at the College of Florida, exactly where Ladapo is a professor.
In a statement released Tuesday, Nelson pointed to the common assistance for COVID-19 vaccinations in young children among the overall health industry experts.
"UF Wellness and the UF Faculty of Medicine take note that though youngsters are commonly at reduce risk than older people for extra major consequences of COVID-19, the risk is not zero, and the vaccine has been shown to be safe and sound and powerful, with a really minimal chance of adverse results," Nelson claimed.
Nelson pointed out that whilst at moments, there can be a "major disagreement" in the community discourse surrounding COVID-19, "the theory of scientifically seem, evidence-primarily based medical choices" stays vital.
"Vigorous mental discussion about competing thoughts is at the heart of the marketplace of suggestions we rejoice and is a time-honored way to progress real truth. That is no significantly less the case in this article," he wrote.
Nelson also underscored the truth that Ladapo's part as the state's surgeon general is solely individual from his faculty position at the University of Florida Higher education of Medicine.
White Household push secretary Jen Psaki also denounced the state's conclusion, telling reporters that Florida's conclusion was "definitely not" a superior policy.
"It truly is deeply disturbing that there are politicians peddling conspiracy theories out there and casting question on vaccinations, when it is our very best resource against the virus and the finest device to protect against even young people from being hospitalized," Psaki stated for the duration of a push briefing Monday.
Nonetheless, the Florida Section of Overall health doubled down on their assistance of the surgeon general's announcement, telling ABC Information in a statement that "healthy little ones possible have no advantage from obtaining the currently obtainable COVID-19 vaccine."
"It is vital for wellbeing treatment practitioners to evaluate existing data on the COVID-19 vaccine alongside dad and mom when deciding to vaccinate small children," Ladapo reported in a statement Tuesday. "Based on at the moment offered data, the dangers of administering COVID-19 vaccination among nutritious kids may outweigh the rewards. That is why these selections ought to be designed on an particular person basis, and under no circumstances mandated."
ABC News' Dr. John Brownstein and Sasha Pezenik contributed to this report.

Reflections on the ascendancy of technology in the media and its implications for organisations and their leaders.
Technology is placing new demands on the media industry. Creative output is no longer simply the content itself, but the 'containers' in which it appears. Media industry leaders and practitioners must now understand the strategic importance of technology in all its dimensions. Yet more than this, they must be able to make the necessary – and often difficult – adjustments inside organisations. This essay draws on two exploratory research projects into technology transitions in the media industry. The findings suggest the ascendancy of technology does not necessitate a diminution in the importance of creative content. However, it does raise two key challenges: first, a need for new 'editorial-technological' competencies, and second, a shift in media workplace culture to recognise the equivalency in importance between classic media creative skills and the newer but equally intellectually demanding tech-media skills.

Preseason Preview Part One: State of the Team
State of the Team
With the MLS season officially getting under way on April 17th, we are approaching that time where we finally have to pay attention to the team that will take the field. Transfer rumors, movie "reviews" that people can't understand, and twitter profile picture breakdowns will eventually stop (they will not) and we will all be stuck with a soccer team playing soccer week in and week out.
Which gets us to today: how is FC Cincinnati looking in 2021? This will be a regular series on Tuesdays, taking a look at FC Cincinnati's roster and what we can expect on the field in 2021. We'll dig into position battles, potential formations, new signings as they arrive, and what we can expect to see in 2021.
The Roster
So for this first part, an overview is necessary. Where the heck is this team right now?
Here is the roster as it is currently constructed:
Cody Cropper, Ben Lundt, Beckham Sunderland, Przemyslaw Tyton
Saad Abdul-Salaam, Zico Bailey, Nick Hagglund, Ronald Matarrita, Tom Pettersson, Maikel can der Werff, Avionne Flanagan*
Frankie Amaya, Allan Cruz, Joseph-Claude Gyau, Haris Medunjanin, Ben Mines, Kamohelo Mokotjo, Caleb Stanko
Alvaro Barreal, Brenner, Calvin Harris, Franko Kovacevic, Yuya Kubo, Jurgen Locadia, Brandon Vazquez
* Not officially signed yet, but drafted
First Impression
If this offense can't perform in 2021 then Njikamp and Stam need to be shown the door. And pushed through it swiftly. Breaking the transfer fee record for a striker on a promising young Brazilian should be enough to get your dad or uncle who only half-pays attention to FCC excited. Kubo, Locadia, and Brenner, assuming all three are on the roster on match day 1, ought to be the best attacking three in MLS. Young promising depth pieces on offense like Barreal and Harris will keep the pressure on the starters. Anyone looking for the orange and blue to sign another winger is the same person who takes all of the candy out of the "Please Take One" bowl when trick-or-treating.
The midfield looks a bit like a mess at the moment. Cruz and Medunjanin each are a costing the team the full budget charge, so you'd expect the money to end up on the field. Except if you do that, you can only play one of Mokotjo or Amaya, and both of them look like the two best midfielders on the team. And the midfield three involving both Medunkanin and Mokotjo will be extremely slow. Not impossible, but slow. Ben Mines and Stanko are good depth pieces to be sure. But there are four players who "should" be starting in three spots at the moment, with the expectation that the team is going to sign at least one, maybe three, more midfielders. Here's the FCC midfield plan:
The defense on the other hand looks very much the same. While there are "roomers" on the internet about a right-back, the only addition at the moment is Ronald Matarrita. Matarrita comes to Cincinnati from NYCFC where he was an attacking outside back who did little to contribute on defense. One possible wrinkle that has a lot of people, including some on the coaching staff, looking at is adding Joe Gyau on the right side to do the same thing. While Gyau did feature as a wingback a few times in 2020, it's not a position he has played much in his career. In fact he spent nearly his entire career in Germany as a leftwinger, which coincidentally describes more than one of my friends right after college.
The lack of defense on the outside of the backline makes the centerback pairing look like Hulk Hogan's chest after he beat Iraqi sympathizer Sargent Slaughter in Wreslemania 7... It's bare. Pettersson and van der Werff has always felt like backup options or at best stop-gap solutions. And yet, FCC hasn't been connected publicly with a centerback this off-season and roster spots are going fast to fill that void. You gotta trust Jaap Stam knows what to look for in a centerback and if this is what he's ok rolling into the season with, then so be it.
In goal, Tyton has shown himself to be serviceable in MLS while Cropper and Lundt both come with high ceilings and low floors. In the 5 season history of FC Cincinnati goalkeeping has never been an issue, and 2021 doesn't look to be changing anything there.
The FC are still well over a month away from playing any matches, and it wouldn't be surprising to see anyone move on from this roster. Here are some of the eligible bachelors who might left in April without a rose.
Franko Kovacevic
Easily the player most people will miss in our quiz, Franko is on loan from Hoffenheim as a striker. That means he takes up a senior roster spot and an international spot, to play a position where FCC has the most depth. Unless he really blows the socks off of the coaching staff in preseason, there's no reason to expect him to be on this roster. This becomes even more true if his international spot or senior roster spot are needed to bring in a defender or midfielder.
Jurgen Locadia
It is kind of amazing he is still on this roster as Brighton seem to be actively shopping him around the world. Brenner's signing is a very clear indication the team is done with Locadia as the main striker. Towards the end of 2020 Locadia did play more and more on the wing, a position he has played plenty in his career. If Brighton doesn't sell him to a new club between now and the summer, and Locadia does stay, having him on the wing along side Brenner could prove to be a deadly combination. Or he could lose his starting job to a college draftee.
Haris Medunjanin
This one is a bit of a wildcard. There is no indication from inside the club that Medunjanin will be on the move. He is 35 years old and was born in a country that literally doesn't exist anymore, so you know he won't have any trade value in the league. He also takes up an international spot. Oh and he makes the maximum amount allowed in the salary cap. What this recipe gives you is the perfect candidate for using your "once a season buy-out, get-out" option on a player's contract. In the last week, FCC has already been linked to midfielders Lucho Acosta, Kyle Scott, and Luan. If two midfielders sign, it'll be hard to justify keeping Medunjanin on this roster.
Where does this team need to improve? Here are the three main areas of need at the moment.
Again, the FC has gone the entire off-season now without even a whiff of a rumor around a centerback. It's worth keeping in mind that Pettersson and Hagglund showed really well towards the end of 2020. They were the two who started against Columbus Crew on October 14th where the eventual wooden spoon winners defeated the eventual MLS champions 2-1. Even if Jaap Stam and Gerrard Njikamp have the full confidence in these two to start, the depth behind them is lacking. van der Werff stuggled with injuries last year and if that continues in 2021 the backline will be as thin as a backline printed tifo.
Yes, everyone wants an attacking midfielder and sure, most fans are ready to ship out Locadia and Kubo for new players. But are we really ready to make Joe Gyau or Zico Bailey the everyday starter at right-back? Bailey didn't look out of place towards the end of last year, but he's still a raw product. And Gyau hasn't played more than a handful of games as an outside back. On top of that, if/when Matarrita leaves for national team duty with Costa Rica, the left back spot will be left to a second round draft pick that still hasn't been officially signed. That being said if Armando Méndez, the NFL linebacker cosplaying as an Uruguayan rightback, is indeed headed to Cincinnati, we will finally have our heir to the Dekel Keinan throne.
Attacking Midfield
And here we are, the spot even your grandmother knows FCC needs to fill. An attacking midfielder to be the key playmaker on the field linking the midfield and attack. Last year a combination of Siem de Jong and Yuya Kubo failed spectacularly in this position. Just ask Taylor Twellman. And historically with FC Cincinnati, there really hasn't been a player who played this role. With the rumors out there of Lucho Acosta coming in, or, and I can't believe I'm typing this, we choose to believe in Gaston again, The FC will finally have their "Number 10". A prototypical Dutch midfield 3 will consist of a box-to-box midfielder like Mokotjo or Cruz, a defensive midfielder like Amaya or Stanko, and an attacking midfielder like this fabled "Number 10". If the stars can align and these pieces come together, Njikamp will finally have a the midfield he's been trying to build for two years.
What To Look For This Week
There are still plenty of moves that can be made for the next week. There is a real chance that 3 new players could be signed in the next few days or the team could wait to see how deals shake out before pulling the trigger on a player. Acosta is one that many people will be keeping an eye on. And just because he's been playing regularly for Atlas doesn't mean he's not coming to Cincinnati. Atlas are battling the new Mexican relegation equivalent, a steep fine, and he's been helping them pull clear of the bottom of the table. It makes sense they'd want to keep him to see where their position in the table ends up. Oh and please please please keep your eyes peeled for any defensive reinforcements, and let me know as soon as you find a scant scent of a rumor (not a scat scent mind you), I'd like to be able to sleep this week.

When Love Finds You
Go Rest High On That Mountain
I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing

Teen Mom Ashley Jones responds to pregnancy rumors after admitting she gained weight and 'went from size four to ten'
TEEN Mom Ashley Jones shut down pregnancy rumors and discussion around her "weight gain" in a new Q&A with fans.
The MTV star, 24, already shares a 4-year-old daughter, Holly, with her fiancé Bar Smith, who has been looking completely different lately after removing his face tattoos.
During an Instagram Q&A, Ashley decided to finally set the record straight on a few things – whether she's pregnant or not, in particular.
One fan asked: "Are you having a baby? Little sibling for Holly?"
The Teen Mom 2 star worked to close that lane of speculation by revealing she is not currently having another child.
She responded: "Everyone has been asking me if I'm pregnant lately. It's funny because just a year ago I was so skinny everyone was concerned."
She continued: "I'm not pregnant. I'm 150lbs and full all the time."
Another follower went on to flat-out ask "how [she] gained weight" over the last few months.

Ashley explained: "I just started eating anything and everything. I do not recommend lol but it worked for me.
"I was a 4, now I'm a size 10 in Zara."
🍼 Follow all our latest news & stories on Teen Mom.
The pregnancy rumors come after Ashley was just seen partying and drinking with co-star Jade Cline.
The TV star shared a clip of the pair dancing and lip singing with red solo cups in their hands.
The stars may have been in the hotel where they were filming the new spin-off series, as castmate Cheyenne Floyd also made a cameo in the clip.
Ashley previously blasted trolls for claiming that, as a mom, she "goes out too much."
The 24-year-old told followers that she has "an identity outside of being a mom."
After seeing some trolls slamming her for going out and partying, as well as for wearing tight and tiny clothing in her Instagram photos, Ashley clapped back.
In a few videos on her Instagram Story, the mother of one began, while sitting in her car, that she wanted to "encourage all moms to live their best f**king life."
She suggested that others also "put on that little a** tiny shirt, put on them tight jeans, put on them heels, and step."
Ashley blasted people for trying to make her and fellow moms "feel bad for having a personality outside of mom."
The TV star said: "B***h, my name is not Capri Sun-getter. I have have an identity outside of being a mom, and I can be whoever the f**k I wanna be as long as my kid is taken care of.
"And my kid is. So, case in point, b***h, I'll see you at the club on Saturday."
