Journal-based CME Course: "Teach-to-Goal" to Better Assess Informed Consent Comprehension among Incarcerated Clinical Research Participants
Activity ID4443
ExpiresAugust 22, 2026
Format TypeJournal-based
CME Credit1
CME Provider: AMA Journal of Ethics
Description of CME Course
Correctional health research requires important safeguards to ensure that research participation is ethically conducted. In addition to having disproportionately low educational attainment and low literacy, incarcerated people suffer from health-related conditions that can affect cognition (e.g., traumatic brain injury, substance use disorders, mental illness). Yet modified informed consent processes that assess participants' comprehension of the risks and benefits of participation are not required by relevant federal guidelines. A push to assess comprehension of informed consent documents is particularly timely given an increase in demand for correctional health research in the context of criminal justice reform. We argue that comprehension assessments can identify persons who should be excluded from research and help those who will ultimately participate in studies better understand the risks and benefits of their participation.

Source: Cap could exceed $127.5 million for 2014
Published December 12, 2013 08:54 AM
Yes, owners were told on Wednesday to expect the 2014 salary cap to climb from $123 million to $126.3 million.
The real expectation is that the expected number will be even higher.
Per a league source, the final number could be more than $127.5 million per team. That would be a 3.65-percent increase over last year.
Last year, the league initially expected the salary cap to inch up from $120.6 million to $121 million. We were told (by the same source) that it would actually be more than $122 million.
The final numbers are announced not long before the start of the new league year in March, at which time every team must be in compliance with the spending maximum.

Accepting help is its own kind of strength. ~ Kiera Cass
A reader writes: My wife passed away in hospice five weeks ago. Since then I went home and had scant support from outside sources, to some degree by choice, and I've done everything mostly alone. Hospice people have called and sent literature, and I just couldn't accept my wife's death enough to respond. I was her caregiver and basically her nurse for years, without alot of outside help, it was all left up to us. I know she would have died much sooner if we both hadn't fought the powers that be to get her the treatment she needed and keep her out of the nursing homes. I wasn't going to do much with hospice, I was and am seeking counsling on my own though. Which should start in the next few weeks. I just happened to look up "grief" on the computer and yours is the first website I looked at.
I'm still filled with grief, so many unresolved issues to do with my wife. We were so much in love,we spent every possible minute together. I was with her holding her in my arms when she took her last breath.
This is my first one-to-one time that I've reached out. I need coping skills, can you help me?
My response: I'm so very sorry to learn of the death of your beloved wife, and I can only imagine how empty and lonely your life must seem without her physical presence here with you. Please accept my deepest condolences, and know that I am thinking of you.
Since this happened barely one month ago, it is not surprising to me that you're "still filled with grief" and searching for ways to cope with and manage it. At this very early point in your grief journey, I would expect that some days you would find it difficult even to get out of bed in the morning. Grief is like that ~ it can sap every ounce of energy you have and can knock you flat. It can also leave you feeling very isolated and alone.
From what you have said to me in your message, I get the impression that you are a very independent person who prefers to "go it alone" as much as possible. I would expect that for much of your life, that independent spirit has served you very well, and it is that spirit that will get you through this current crisis as well. I do want to encourage you, however, to become aware of and to take advantage of some the many grief resources that are available to you. Since your wife was with a hospice service, I assume you already know that their bereavement services are available at no charge to family members. Such services include educational materials, bimonthly newsletters, telephone contact, ongoing grief support groups, and individual bereavement counseling. As you've already discovered, there are lots of websites online offering information, comfort and support to those in mourning. I know you've already found my own Grief Healing website, and I hope you've spent some time exploring all the pages there. See also the titles I've listed here: Marty's Articles and here: Grief Bibliography ~ or check out the Grief and Bereavement section at your local library or corner bookstore, and take a look at the vast variety of books that have been written on this important subject. Such writings will give you an idea of what normal grief looks like (so you'll know what to expect in the weeks and months ahead, and will feel less crazy) and they will reassure you that although others have suffered the most devastating losses, they've all found different ways to make it through ~ and you will find your own way, too.
I don't know what, if any, support you have from family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, but the sad fact is that oftentimes others are done listening to us long before we are finished with our need to talk about our losses. So I also suggest that you consider the support you'll find through our online Grief Healing Discussion Groups. There you will find the ease of being able to communicate with others on your own computer, in the privacy and comfort of your own home, at times that are convenient for you ~ as well as the safety and security that a user name and password of your own choosing will afford you.
Grieving is hard work, but I want you to know that you do not have to bear this burden all by yourself. You've already reached out by writing to me, and I hope you will continue to reach out to others. No one can take your pain away at this sad and difficult time, but we certainly can be here for you and offer you our support as you move along on your own grief journey. You are not alone and you are not lost. You are responding in a normal way to the death of the person you loved most in this world. You are experiencing sheer, raw grief. This is what it feels like. Grief is hard ~ it is the hardest work you will ever do. Please don't try to do it all by yourself.
Afterword: I want to say thank you for responding to my e-mail. You are so right about people not wanting to listen. My family were kinda supportive to a degree and then they just shyed away, all from afar anyway of course. I have never by choice been a loner or indepentdent, but, my wife and I made a wonderful team, and as she started to get sick all of our family and freinds just distanced themselves or went away. So it became just her and I. She started to get sick 7 years ago, we fought the illness, the doctors, the nursing homes, and the struggle to just be able to keep our home and food. Now it's just me and yes I'm very lonely. I'm a very loyal person and to be alone is just unbearable and I am having trouble doing simple things. I always had her to turn to to help me through anything, I feel just like half of my person is missing. Still, I would like to think you're right about getting through this, and if someone from hospice wants to call me it's ok.

Think of all the times your children have left their belongings somewhere else. At a friend's home, family event, large gathering, daycare, school, sports practice, game, camp, or after school activity.
If only there was a label made to fit and stay on practically everything?!
Well, there is! With Kidecals you can create stylish and durable labels for all your valuables. Clothes, water bottles, shoes, chargers, phones, laptops, camping gear, luggage, toys, and more!
The best part is that Kidecals labels are:
* Waterproof
* Laundry Safe
* Microwave Safe
* Dishwasher Safe
* BPA Free
So why am I interested in Kidecals? Our daughter dances and has several different pairs of shoes to keep track of. She also travels to performances, conventions, and competitions. So there is a pretty good chance that at some point she will leave a shoe at the dance studio, mix hers up with someone else's, or accidentally put her shoes in the wrong dance bag. For those reasons, I like to put labels on the inside of her shoes. I look for two things. They need to be small and they need to be able to stick really, really well. Kidecals labels are perfect!
We also use them on her phone charger. I can't tell you how many times her charger has been left at a friend's house after a sleepover. And of course, all the chargers look the same.
Their website points out some other great ways to use their labels, like as allergy alerts and canning labels.
Find Out More: You can find out more about the huge variety of labels they offer at Kidecals. Labels come in various sizes and sets. Use code kidecalslabel to get 15% off! You can also get more information on Facebook or Twitter.

Happy Homeowners
"Absolute Architecture was a joy to work with. Kate Cooper and her team worked with a tiny, decrepit home, large garden and stables from 1908 and turned the property into a show piece. They were sympathetic to the original design and area while making the home user friendly and comfortable for contemporary residents. They were knowledgeable about the many local laws and guidelines and used the best local craftsmen for the renovation and addition, all in a timely, warm manner. We are so proud of our lovely home; the result is truly beautiful."
Tutts Clump in Bradford, Berkshire
"We contacted Absolute Architecture as we were undecided as to whether to totally reconfigure our existing home or demolish it and start afresh. From our initial meeting Kate was knowledgeable and practical in her approach to our dilemma and we took the decision to new build. It was extremely important to us that the new build, whilst meeting our accommodation needs should also be in keeping with its environment and our budget. Kate offered several different design options and we opted for a linear building which we felt suited the site. The building construction and materials suggested by Kate has ensured the building has blended well into its environment and offers us a comfortable, practical, energy efficient home which we continue to be delighted with and we would not hesitate in recommending the services of Absolute Architecture."
Newbury, Berkshire
"We interviewed four RIBA architects. Kate was the only one who brought along a builder that she works with regularly and … it meant we had another professional to question about costs and time scale etc. Kate also arranged for us to see some of her other work in progress so we could see how the process would unfold – viewing the dust and mess prepared us for what would become our everyday life for several months. Kate's ideas matched our ideas of what we wanted our home to become and she allowed for several changes along the way – and seemed pretty unflappable at our requests – and there were quite a few!"

Civil Suits Against The Makers of Actos. A whistleblower lawsuit against the makers of the diabetes drug Actos could make it easier for consumers harmed by the medication to seek relief in civil suits against the manufacturer.
- Lawsuit claims drugmaker Takeda failed to disclose cancer and heart failure related to usage of Actos medication
- Employee brought up underdisclosure and was promptly fired
- Users of Actos who suffered side effects could have personal injury claim
Miracle Drug
Dr. Helen Ge, a medical doctor and experienced drug safety consultant, was hired by the pharmaceutical company Takeda in 2008 to help ensure product safety as well as proper review and testing of negative reactions to the company's drugs. At the time, Takeda's crown jewel was a diabetes medicine known as Actos.
Actos was supposed to be a miracle drug, hailed as a safer alternative to Avandia, which had recently seen its market share plummet after being linked to heart attack, heart failure and stroke. Actos was bringing in billions in sales, and accounting for half of Takeda's revenue.
However, during Ge's tenure at the drug company, she noticed a disturbing trend. Of more than 100 reports of bladder cancer reported to the company by Actos users, only 72 were relayed to the FDA. Ge also claimed that hundreds of congestive heart failure events went unreported.
However, when she went to her superiors with her concerns, Ge was fired, in January 2010. She filed a lawsuit later that year, which was unsealed last month.
Culture of Fraud
In an 111 page complaint, Ge lambastes Takeda's "culture of fraud," alleging, among other things, that the company suppressed reports of bladder and other cancers, suicidal ideation, renal failure, strokes and various heart problems. 'Actors', the lawsuit contends, is actually more dangerous than Avandia, despite its marketing campaign to position itself as a safer alternative.
Daniel C. Burke
"What the lawsuit does is essentially says that these things were happening in their clinical testing, within their knowledge, to patients and they weren't reporting those adverse events properly," says Daniel Burke, senior litigation counsel at national personal injury firm Parker Waichman, which is taking on cases for individuals who were harmed by Actos. "It essentially alleges that the Actos drug was more dangerous than some of the other drugs that were in the same class. Although Actos was being advertised as safer than other drugs, there was evidence it may have been as or more dangerous."
Not only were an unknown number of consumers harmed by taking a drug without all the information about its side effects, Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs paid out for tens of thousands of prescriptions it never would have approved had the manufacturer been honest about the dangers of the drug, the lawsuit alleges.
The federal government's interest allows Ge to bring her complaints to them and be protected as a whistleblower under the False Claims Act. The lawsuit is filed on behalf of the federal government and 23 states to recover payments made to Takeda based on the company's allegedly fraudulent claims.
Individual Claims to Follow
Actos is just one of numerous prescription drugs currently the subject of active or potential litigation. The stories become repetitive: Drugmaker downplays or fails to disclose harmful and deadly side effects of their product, consumers seeking medical treatment come away more ill than they started and the lawsuits start to pile up.
For consumers who think they could have been harmed by using 'Actors', the Helen Ge lawsuit could help make their case more clear. "They weren't reporting things. Unsealing the whistleblower complaint certainly brought that to light," Burke says.
'Actors' users who think they have a case should consult with a law firm experienced in handling drug cases and review their history with an attorney to see if a lawsuit is a possibility. "Go over when you took the drug, how long you took the drug, when you were diagnosed," Burke explains. "Folks who developed congestive heart failure, or had heart attacks or strokes are folks we'd like to talk to as potential plaintiffs."

Overwatch 2's lead writer is touting the game's new, four-player story-based missions as a "more traditional way to tell a story in the Overwatch universe," a job that has been done by trailers, seasonal events and, well, headcanon since its 2016 launch.
In an interview with PlayStation Blog, lead writer Michael Chu said Overwatch 2 will have "a complete story with beginning, middle, and end.
"In addition, we've finally moved the story forward after Winston's recall, and we hope to continue to push events into the future in the stories to come," Chu said.
Chu added that the story-driven component of Overwatch 2 is a response to longstanding community desire to have the Overwatch canon advanced by gameplay, as opposed to non-interactive cinematics and other media. He acknowledged that the seasonal Archives PvE events, which began in Overwatch in the spring of 2017, were mostly an "experiment" with story-driven content.
Blizzard said its PvE maps are "2x" the size of regular Overwatch maps, which adds new gameplay and story possibilities, too.
"We like to call the story a Story Experience," Chu said. "It's not quite a single-player campaign in that you will be playing the story alongside three other players in co-op. Players will experience the story together with their friends."
Color us skeptical, however. Earlier this month, we went hands-on with one of the story missions at BlizzCon 2019, noting that familiar heroes have enhanced abilities, or even different ones, from what players are used to in Overwatch. But, "playing with a set of locked-in heroes, for 20-minute stretches against AI-controlled opponents hasn't been a draw for me in Archives," said Polygon's Michael McWhertor, "and the same is so far true for Overwatch 2."
Aaron Keller, Overwatch's assistant game director, went on to tell PlayStation Blog that PvP and PvE progression are "entirely separate," mainly to keep PvE's differently powered versions of heroes out of the competitive arena.
"We don't want gameplay changing talents and abilities to give an unfair advantage in PvP," Keller said. "Our goal is to make a robust, meaningful progression system that feeds into our Hero Missions, where players can play and replay for many hours, or as their main mode of play after they complete the Overwatch 2 story."
That said, player progression in the original Overwatch will carry over, and players will have access, in Overwatch 2, to all of the content they acquired in the first game. Similarly, Overwatch players will get access to all of Overwatch 2's PvP content, with the PvE story missions remaining exclusive to the sequel.
Overwatch 2 was formally announced at BlizzCon 2019, although it doesn't even have a launch window yet. It will come to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One when it launches, however.
At BlizzCon 2019, game director Jeff Kaplan said the Archives event would still run at its usual time in 2020, although it won't have a new story-driven mission. Otherwise, Blizzard's Overwatch team was supposed to "go dark" after the BlizzCon reveal, which makes today's Q&A on PlayStation Blog more intriguing.

Active Substance: Tamoxifene Citrate
Brand: AstraZeneca
Country: Bulgaria
Packaging: 50*10mg
Nolvadex is a safe estrogen blocker used for On- and Post Cycle Therapy after steroid cycles
Out of stock
Nolvadex by AstraZeneca
General about Nolvadex:
In medicine, tamoxifen is actually used in women with breast cancer. Because the growth of various types of cancer is accelerated by estrogen, blocking the docking process seems extremely useful and effective. This reduces the further growth. Tamoxifen is also referred to as a selective anti-estrogen, and in bodybuilding circles tamoxifen is also used as an estrogen blocker.
The mode of action of Nolvadex:
The drug tamoxifen, known to many as Nolvadex, is a very weak estrogen that binds to certain estrogen receptors in the body, thus preventing stronger forms of estrogen from docking and becoming active. Bodybuilders often use this to stop anabolic steroids, or to effectively combat estrogen-related gynecomastia.
Two other benefits of using Tamoxifen are its beneficial effect on cholesterol levels and its beneficial effect on bone structure. In principle, estrogens have a positive influence on the good cholesterol and also support the incorporation of calcium into the bones, which makes them stronger and more resilient. Some athletes also use tamoxifen to compensate for catastrophic cholesterol levels caused by good cholesterol, for example, when taking Winstrol.
The side effects of Nolvadex:
As far as the side effects of tamoxifen are concerned, hot flashes, mood swings and, rarely, blurred vision may occur in isolated cases. Although tamoxifen is not 17-alpha-alkalized, prolonged ingestion can also cause liver damage. In addition, IGF1 release is reduced because free estrogen also plays a role in IGF1 formation.
The dosage of tamoxifen:
To prevent gynecomastia, tamoxifen is dosed with 10-20 mg per day over the entire length of the spa. It is important that you halve the dosage after the cure and continue 1-2 weeks to avoid a rebound effect.
In existing gynecomastia is dosed with 20-60mg, which should after 2 to 3 weeks, the complete decline in gynecomastia should result.
For the discontinuation of anabolic steroids is dosed in the first week as a frontload with 60mg to build the fastest possible effective mirror. Then 20-30mg should be taken daily for another 5 weeks.

Once a protest landmark outside Hong Kong's government headquarters, "Lennon Walls" have become a city-wide phenomenon after a month of political upheaval.
Thousands of supportive messages have appeared on dozens of public walls across the territory. Slogans such as "add oil Hongkongers!" and "No China extradition" have been scribbled on colourful memos.
The campaign against the government's proposed extradition bill, which escalated in June with huge protest rallies, has won only a partial concession from Chief Executive Carrie Lam.
But the movement has since grown beyond its original goals. Riding on the momentum of the protests, Hongkongers have expressed their sentiments at a community level, offering words of solidarity and support to one another.
During the 2014 pro-democracy Umbrella Movement, protesters drew inspiration from the Lennon Wall in Prague and created a local equivalent outside the Admiralty government offices. The makeshift message board was one of the most recognisable icons of the 2014 movement, widely photographed by the media and hailed as an example of democratic expression.
When protesters once again took to the streets of Admiralty on June 12, it seemed altogether natural for the Lennon Wall to reappear at its former location. Overnight, messages spread across the walls of the staircase leading up to the Central Government Offices, along with the words "Oppose extradition to China, protect our city" rendered in tape.
Unlike its predecessor, however, the new Lennon Wall also served as a memorial.
As June wore on, at least three people took their own lives in politically charged incidents. One corner of the wall bore the Chinese character for "mourning," as protesters bowed and offered flowers and tributes.
The wall was briefly defaced on June 30 after a pro-police rally was held nearby at Tamar Park. The opposing sides clashed briefly at the Lennon Wall, with one woman caught on camera as she ripped up the notes stuck to the wall and taunted anti-extradition protesters.
Within hours, however, the notes that have fallen onto the ground were restored and the surface of the wall was once again a vibrant mosaic. Starting from 7:30pm that night, protesters held vigils hourly at the memorial, which had been fully rebuilt.
Walls galore
On July 2, the day after protesters stormed and briefly occupied the legislature, the area around Admiralty was cleared and placed under watch by police. As the government arranged for cleaners to scrub the Lennon Wall, protesters took down the messages for safekeeping.
In 2014, the destruction of the Lennon Wall in Admiralty was greeted with a sense of loss, but the same event drew a different response last week.
Even before the messages had been cleared, there were signs that protesters had found other outlets for expression: notes and posters had been plastered on the footbridge leading to CITIC Tower, located opposite the legislature.
A week later, Lennon Walls have been sighted in numerous districts around Hong Kong. Popular spots include walls near MTR station exits, as well as the walls of pedestrian subways.
HKFP counted dozens of separate Lennon Walls by Tuesday evening, with many located in the New Territories including Sheung Shui, Tin Shui Wai, Shatin, Fanling, Ma On Shan, Tsing Yi, Tung Chung, among other places.
At Tai Po's Lennon Wall – which covers almost the entirety of the subway's walls – three students told HKFP that they had installed a huge set of slogans, including "fight together," "we are the best" and "we are not alone."
One said that their school did not interfere with their work, which they completed during their own time. "Some schools banned the pinning of white ribbons [in support of the movement], but our school was fine with it," she said.
The school was located nearby and, as the students were talking, one of their teachers passed by the Lennon Wall and voiced support.
A middle-aged woman, who gave her name as Lam, said she lived in the nearby Lam Chuen and came with her sister to place sticky notes on the subway's walls.
She wrote on her notes that Hongkongers must fight on and push for the five core demands. "Shameless Carrie Lam and the pro-Beijing camp must all step down and go to hell," read another of her notes.
"I was very angry [at the government] and I wanted to come here. And then I saw on Facebook that someone tried to rip the notes off the wall, then I decided I must come," she told HKFP.
When she arrived, she recalled asking others how she could contribute and what resources she could bring. "I am so impressed by the people here," she said.
Aside from the New Territories, the message boards have also been spotted across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the outlying islands.
Locations include Sai Ying Pun, Shek Tong Tsui, Causeway Bay, Sai Wan Ho, Chai Wan, Choi Hung, Wong Tai Sin, Kwun Tong, Mei Foo, Kowloon Bay, Whampoa, Tai Kok Tsui and more.
Most of the newer Lennon Walls have been fortified with tape and protected by a layer of transparent plastic. In some cases, the message boards have become focal points of conflict, with some being torn down by government supporters.
A video has circulated online showing the Kowloon Bay Lennon Wall being swiftly torn down by a man and a woman on Monday evening – but when reporters checked in on it the next morning, hundreds of messages had reappeared. Similar incidents were also reported in Sai Wan Ho and To Kwa Wan.
In response to vandalism, some have volunteered to keep watch over the Lennon Walls. On the Reddit-like forum LIHKG, a new slogan began trending: "Take down one, we will post another ten."
'Flowers bloom across the land'
Christopher DeWolf, journalist and author of Borrowed Spaces: Life Between the Cracks of Modern Hong Kong, told HKFP that the new Lennon Walls aligned with the "be water" ethos of the protest movement.
"[The 2019 walls] are decentralised, fluid and more widespread than in 2014. I think that a lot of people who experienced the freedom and creative outpouring that were present in Mongkok, Causeway Bay and Admiralty in 2014 really took that to heart and they are eager to replicate it in their own neighbourhoods," he said.
Messages shown in Hong Kong's public spaces are typically commercial, DeWolf said, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) are quick to remove stickers and posters that appear on government-controlled surfaces.
In 2014, that logic was disrupted by the first Lennon Wall in memorable fashion.
"The original wall was significant because it turned an otherwise empty corner into a gathering place – somewhere that ideas could be exchanged and where people could express themselves in a safe and friendly way," he added.
"The original wall highlighted how much dead space there is in Hong Kong's urban environment, but also how much potential there is for that dead space to be brought to life."
On LIHKG, users have posted pictures of the walls in their neighbourhoods, treating them as a cause for celebration. Many took it as a tangible sign that the pro-democracy movement had reached communities previously thought to be pro-Beijing or apolitical.
Citing a slogan in use since the Umbrella Movement, one user wrote: "This time it is truly 'flowers bloom across the land.'"

Globalisation on pause? How scaleups can navigate today's uncertainty9:30 am - 10:30 am
Operam Education Group receives investment from BGF and HSBC
Operam Education Group, which operates in the education recruitment sector, has received investment from BGF and HSBC to support further acquisitions and organic growth.
Founded in 2017 by resourcing specialists Eddie Austin and Andrew Frome, Operam completed its first acquisition in the same year, buying Provide Education, an education recruitment agency operating across three branches with its head office in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Now entering the second phase of its buy and build strategy, Operam will use the funding from BGF and HSBC to acquire Teachers UK and The Education Specialists.
The Education Specialists have been a leading education recruitment agency in the North West since 2002, operating from two branches in Liverpool and Manchester. Teachers UK is a specialist education recruitment agency based in Mansfield that supplies teachers, lecturers and support staff to academies, schools, colleges and nurseries across the region. The acquisitions will strengthen Operam's regional presence further across the UK and will bring almost 40 years of collective experience to the existing Operam platform.
Andy McRae, a former of MD of Hays plc and formerly CEO of Red Commerce, will join the business as non-executive Chair. Andy has a strong background in multi-site, people-centric businesses, as well as extensive M&A experience.
Eddie Austin, CEO of Operam, said: "We're delighted to welcome The Education Specialists and Teachers UK to the Operam Group. Both are highly regarded industry specialists and will help us to broaden our reach and continue to provide high quality candidates to more schools in the regions."
"We have built our reputation and relationships in the market through our intimate knowledge of client needs, our efficiency, and our track record in matching high-quality candidates with the right roles. Our vision for Operam is to drive growth both organically and via acquisition and build a group of real scale over the next three years. I'm excited to enter this next stage of growth with BGF and HSBC's backing."
Barry Jackson, who led the deal on behalf of BGF, said: "Eddie and Andrew are well-respected specialists with over 50 years' experience in education recruitment. They have developed a strong pipeline of acquisition targets and have ambitious plans for organic growth in the coming years, and we're delighted to be partnering with them at this exciting stage of their development.
"We're pleased to be bringing another South Yorkshire based business into the BGF portfolio. We're seeing more and more ambitious management teams in the region with exciting growth plans, and we're delighted to be on the ground and supporting innovation and development."
Scott Christian, Relationship Director for HSBC UK, South Yorkshire & Humber, said: "It's an exciting time for Operam Education Group, with these latest acquisitions adding valuable expertise to this rapidly expanding business. In a short space of time, Operam has demonstrated its in-depth knowledge of the education sector, identifying great opportunities and making bold steps into new markets. We're delighted to support the group as it continues to grow."
BGF experienced a record year of investing in Yorkshire and the North East in 2018 – providing £65m in patient capital for businesses in the region. As well as expanding into new offices in Leeds, the team opened an office in Newcastle and expanded the team across the region in 2018. Recent investments have included Alnwick-based research and development organisation Arcinova, behavioural marketing company SaleCycle and Yorkshire-based business vehicle rental platform, Fleetondemand.

The Portage Bridge is a major commuter route over the Ottawa River for interprovincial travel between Ontario and Quebec (Ottawa and Gatineau). On average, the bridge carries approximately 40,000 vehicles a day, with a posted speed of 50 km/h. The bridge's cycling lanes are used by over 300,000 cyclists per year, with the number of cyclists increasing by 4 percent each year.
Over a period of two years, 2018 and 2019, the NCC rehabilitated the asphalt surface and enhanced the cycle track of the Portage Bridge. This work aimed at improving safety and user comfort. It will also extend the bridge service life until the need for major reconstruction in 10 to 25 years.
2019 (Work completed)
- Widening of the current bidirectional cycle track from 2.5 m to 2.6 m, with the addition of a vertical concrete and steel barrier between the cycle track and the motor vehicle lane.
- Adjustments to the motor vehicle lanes to accommodate the improved cycle track.
- Rehabilitation of the asphalt surface of the bridge's northbound high-occupancy vehicle lane leading to Gatineau.
2018 (Work completed)
- Rehabilitation of the asphalt surface on five of the bridge's six lanes: three southbound lanes leading to Ottawa and two northbound lanes leading to Gatineau.
- Repairs to the drains and the bridge expansion joints.
- Posted speed reduced to 50 km/h.
Public engagement
During the development of the project plan, we took the opportunity to ask the public, stakeholders and interest groups to provide feedback on proposed options to improve the bridge's cycle track. The option chosen by the NCC's Board of Directors in April 2018 was the preferred and recommended option for implementation, according to the results of the public consultation and the expert analysis undertaken in winter 2018.
This project is part of the NCC's major infrastructure projects made possible with the Government of Canada's $55-million investment from the 2018 federal budget.

Fallout 4 will welcome its sixth and final expansion next week—the decrepit theme park-set Nuka-World—which developer Bethesda will demo during a livestream tomorrow.
Announced via the game's Twitter feed, the stream will be hosted on Bethesda's Twitch channel at 9pm BST/4pm ET/1pm PT, and will explore the new DLC that's expected to challenge previous add-on Far Harbour in size.
Chris seemed to enjoy his time there when he got to grips with it back in May, however wasn't too enamoured by Vault-Tec Workshop nor Wasteland Workshop—saying he found it difficult to recommend the latter, even at just $5. With new quests, new zones, new weapons, and the chance to assume the role of a commanding Raider, here's hoping Nuka-World takes Far Harbour's lead.
It'll cost £14.99/$19.99 when it arrives on August 30 but in the meantime here's another look at Nuka-World's official trailer:

For Uzbeks, Radicalization Often Begins Abroad
The Islamic State has ramped up its Russian-language recruitment.
MOSCOW — Tuesday afternoon's rampage in Manhattan allegedly carried out by a man from Uzbekistan is shining renewed attention on the radicalization of Central Asians. But for many of them, their path to the Islamic State only began after they left home.
MOSCOW — Tuesday afternoon's rampage in Manhattan allegedly carried out by a man from Uzbekistan is shining renewed attention on the radicalization of Central Asians. But for many of them, their path to the Islamic State only began after they left home.
Thousands from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan are believed to be fighting for the Islamist group in Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State has stepped up its Russian-language propaganda in recent years, with videos, social media, and translations aimed at Russian speakers.
But most of the Uzbeks and Tajiks who have joined the Islamic State were radicalized in Russia, where they went for work, said Steve Swerdlow, who is Central Asia researcher for Human Rights Watch based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. "The vast majority … are coming via Russia, sometimes for many years," he said.
Russia is home to a large Muslim minority of around 15 million, or one-tenth of the population, and has battled its own Islamist insurgencies in the North Caucasus region, sparked by two bloody wars for independence in Chechnya. Over the last two years, Russian security services have arrested several groups of Central Asians throughout the country on charges of plotting acts of terrorism.
Sayfullo Saipov, 29, who on Tuesday allegedly drove a truck into a crowded path, killing eight people and injuring 12 more, emigrated to the United States, not Russia. But New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a television interview that Saipov had been "radicalized domestically" in the United States, not in Uzbekistan.
New York officials are treating the attack allegedly committed by Saipov, who came to the United States in 2010 under the State Department's diversity program, as an act of terrorism inspired by Islamic State.
He was shot in the stomach by police and remains under custody in hospital.
Long presented by Russia as a potential tinderbox, the Central Asian states that were once part of the Soviet Union will likely come under renewed scrutiny by the West after the attack in New York.
"The biggest takeaway from the terrorist attack in New York is the Central Asia element," said Alexey Malashenko, chief researcher at the Berlin-based Dialogue of Civilizations Research Institute and an expert on Islam in the region.
The attack Saipov is suspected of appears to follow an emerging pattern: New York would join Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Istanbul as cities where Central Asians have staged deadly attacks over the last year. The New York incident also follows several arrests of Uzbek men in 2015 on suspicion of terrorism, which embarrassed a small and hard-working community in the city already wary of extremists in their midst.
The five Muslim-majority former Soviet republics stretching from the Caspian Sea to China have long been described by Russian officials as a potential danger zone for Islamist extremism. Moscow says that renewed interest in Afghanistan, which is separated from Russia by Central Asia, is aimed at stopping the spread of terrorism into what the Kremlin considers its own backyard.
Yet U.S. involvement and interest in the former Soviet parts of Central Asia has been relatively moderate. In 2014, the U.S. vacated the Manas transit center in Kyrgyzstan, its last military base in Central Asia, as combat operations in Afghanistan wound down. Kyrgyzstan, in a move aimed at pleasing former imperial master Russia, had voted on the U.S. ouster in parliament.
Decades of poverty and autocratic rule have made people from Central Asia, home to some 70 million, ripe for Islamic State recruitment. Fleeing poverty, many Central Asians, especially young men, venture to Russia for low-paying jobs, where they are often met with racism and resentment by the local population.
Under authoritarian leader Islam Karimov, who died just over a year ago, Uzbekistan maintained one of the harshest approaches to religion in the world, banning proselytizing and regulating worship in what it says was efforts to combat terrorism. Central Asia's most notorious militant group, the Islamist Movement of Uzbekistan, became an ally of al Qaeda and the Taliban.
But Uzbekistan's religious persecution led to "many thousands of ordinary religious believers landing behind bars on vague and overbroad extremism statutes simply for peacefully exercising their faith," said Swerdlow, of Human Rights Watch, adding that this led some marginalized Uzbeks to look elsewhere for religion.
Though a more reform-oriented government under President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has scrapped some of the more punitive aspects of the country's clampdown on religious freedoms, such as a blacklist of people accused of extremism, there is still a long way to go, Swerdlow said.
Critics say Kyrgyzstan, where the ethnic Uzbek suicide bomber on the St. Petersburg metro hailed from, also has a repressive religious policy. The two Tsarnaev brothers, who planted bombs at the Boston Marathon in 2013, were Chechens who had grown up in Kyrgyzstan.
After the Boston Marathon bombing, Russia urged its American "partners" to continue their joint battle against international terrorism, a scourge often cited by U.S. President Donald Trump on his campaign trail as a problem the two countries should combat together. So far, Russia has stayed relatively silent on the New York attack.
But the investigation into Saipov's alleged motives will once again turn the spotlight onto the region. "Central Asia has firmly joined the global jihad movement," Malashenko told Foreign Policy, "and there is no way to stop it."

Watch - Antetokounmpo scores 33, leads Bucks to rout of Pistons
Detroit - Giannis Antetokounmpo had 33 points and 16 rebounds as the Milwaukee Bucks routed the Detroit Pistons 126-106 on Thursday night.
The Bucks led 70-41 at halftime and by as many as 34 points in the second half. Detroit could never get enough stops to mount any significant rally in the final two quarters.
Former Piston Khris Middleton added 28 points for the Bucks, who won for the 15th time in 17 games. Eric Bledsoe added 19 points and Brook Lopez scored 18.
The Pistons have lost five straight since trading Andre Drummond to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Feb. 6 and were playing for the first time since buying out Reggie Jackson's contract. Christian Wood, one of seven players in the game who has played for both teams, had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Bruce Brown finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The game was lopsided early, with the Bucks leading by 14 at the end of the first quarter and 29 at the half. Detroit's 41 first-half points were only two more than Middleton (20) and Antetokounmpo (19) had on their own. The Milwaukee also had a 14-0 advantage in points off turnovers.
Bucks: Antetokounmpo was called for a technical for arguing a third-quarter call with Milwaukee leading by 29. ... The win meant the Bucks still haven't lost back-to-back games this season.
Pistons: Detroit had two former Bucks, Tony Snell and Thon Maker, in the starting lineup and three more (Wood, Brandon Knight and John Henson) on the bench. Middleton started his career with Detroit and Ersan Ilyasova has also played for the Pistons.
The Bucks had a chance at a 7-point possession in the third quarter, thanks to Wood committing a flagrant foul on a made basket. Donte DiVicenzo finished the three-point play and Antetokounmpo added a free throw after a technical on Pistons coach Dwane Casey. Because of the flagrant foul, the Bucks retained the ball, but Antetokounmpo was called for an offensive foul.
Bucks: Host the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday
Pistons: Visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday

Yesterday, 29th January 2020, eight Three Years Jotna Executive members were remanded at Mile 2 for riotous destruction of The Gambia Technical Teaching Institute bus shed during a protest which occurred on 26th January 2020.
Team Gom Sa Bopa (TGSB) is utterly dismayed by the manner in which the Lower Courts and the Security Apparatus collaborate to remand citizens in an already very congested Mile 2.
Gambian Prosecutors are well aware that the third charge of riotous destruction of public building should be brought before a competent Court with jurisdiction, as demonstrated in the August 2019 trial of 37 individuals at Kanifing Magistrate Court. In that particular case after remanding some 37 individuals in Mile 2 for over two weeks, 30 of them were released with no charges to answer.
It's expected that The Gambian Judiciary and Police Prosecutors should take cognizant of this. This precedent highlights the premeditated collaboration between the Security and the Judiciary to remand and punish citizens with the cruel, harrowing experience of Mile 2 soon after reading out serious charges.
TGSB insist that it's the Prosecutors role to present appropriate charges to a competent Court and the Judiciary must not punish citizens for a Prosecutor's insistence to present inappropriate charges to a
Court without the appropriate competence and jurisdiction.
There are a number of options which the Court could have utilised to ensure that Justice is done and seen to be done swiftly.
• The Court had the option to hear the first two charges within its Jurisdiction and referring the third charge to a competent court with jurisdiction.
• Another option available to the Court is to throw out all three charges and to demand that the Prosecutors present appropriate charges to a competent Court with jurisdiction.
Instead the Courts continue to reward Prosecutors by remanding suspects in Mile 2. TGSB believes this to be an abuse of the judicial process and thereby an injustice to Three Years Jotna Executive and all other suspects who have been remanded in Mile 2 using such methods.
We therefore call on all Civil Society Organisations to join us to highlight this deficiency in the Judicial system, including legal action. Gambian courts must not continue to arbitrarily remand citizens without due process.

We knew something big was going to happen when Facebook announced three months ago that they have purchased Instagram. A lot of users however, did not expect this drastic policy shift.
Beginning January 16, Facebook "claims the perpetual right to license all public Instagram photos to companies or any other organization, including for advertising purposes, which would effectively transform the Web site into the world's largest stock photo agency" (CNET). This means that Facebook won't have to pay you anything to use your images. If for say, you took a splendid image of a restaurant, and that restaurant decides that they'd like to use that image for advertising purposes, they pay Facebook and not you.
CNET also makes another great point, stating that this policy could "trigger state privacy laws" if the photos that Facebook sells contain images of young children without obtaining parental consent.
When did all this conflict arise? When Facebook added two new sections to Instagram's terms of use policy. One section no longer includes the phrase "limited license" and instead uses words such as "transferable" and "sub-licensable" (CNET). Another key section that has been added states that "a business or other entity may pay us to display your… photos… in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you." Facebook has not yet made a public statement addressing whether or not they will be monetizing photos taken by Instagram users. However, these new additions to the Instagram terms of use clearly brings about some concern.
Are you going to delete your Instagram account? If so, make sure to do it before January 16, 2013 because after that date, this new policy becomes effective and Facebook will have the right to sell your images without providing you with any compensation whatsoever.
What do you think will happen to Instagram? Will another version of the app arise? Will it be cloned, altered, completely erased? Or will Facebook create their own photo sharing app? Hm, the possibilities. Check out more details about this issue at CNET News and The New York Times.

Since my childhood, I keep hearing people telling me that I need to eat fish to become smarter. Whether it is my mom, dad, grandparents, their friends, etc. They all told me:
Eat fish, and you'll be smarter and more intelligent.
This thing went on and on. Till I could not listen to it anymore. I did not trust that sentence. I did not know why, but it did not sound right. Maybe I had enough of eating fish too 😉
But this question kept coming to my mind: 'How can they say that fish will make me smarter without any scientific proof?' Well, that is why I decided to devote this article to all of you who have heard this same sentence and had enough of it.
Well, that is why I decided to devote this article to all of you who have heard this same sentence and had enough of it. I am not going to write about fish, but about 5 foods. If you eat these, then you'll definitely get smarter or more intelligent if you prefer.
Why can food make you smarter?
Okay, we all know that eating healthy is good for us. This is a given.
However, there are some foods that are better for our brain than others. On the same line, there are fruits that are also better for our brain than others.
Experts agree that our brain needs a lot of complex vitamins to function properly. However, they also agree that you are definitely able to enhance the functioning of your brain by just eating the right food.
Scientists have documented a number of these foods that excel in making your brain more effective. Below, I selected five of these that are highly common to all of us. I chose the ones that could help you quickly, and that you can find in your own local supermarket without having to think too much.
You may well have these in your fridge already – and you do not know how good they are for your brain.
1- Carrots make you smarter
Carrots are well known for their vitamin A. However, a few of us know that they also contain a lot of vitamin B.
Experts are adamant, this vitamin helps to build chemicals known as neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are very important for us. They are the small tiny bits in our brain that transmit messages within our brain neurons.
As such, our nervous system is completely dependent on these. If you do not have a good enough neurotransmitter, you'll lose a lot of your mental abilities. The more you have, the better it is for you. So eat more carrots.
Note that the neurotransmitter built and secreted by carrot's vitamin B will help you with a better mood and manage your hunger and sleep pattern.
2- Smarter yogurt for a smarter person
Can you believe this? Yogurt can make you smarter. They are rich in vitamin B12. But why would they make you smarter?
Strangely enough, yogurts have been qualified by experts as containing THE vitamin for memory.
Scientists say that this strange vitamin can only be found in foods from animal origin. So, if you are a vegetarian, then you will need to eat more yogurt. By doing so, you'll easily increase your memory efficiency.
In essence, the vitamin present in yogurts facilitates the function of nerves. Better nerves functionality means better body functioning. It also means better signals from the brain to your memory etc. vitamin B12 can be found in cheese, salmon, beef and crustacean.
Note that if you do not like yogurt, then you can find vitamin B12 cheese, salmon, beef, and crustacean.
3- Popeye spinach makes you smarter
We have all been told to watch Popeye and Olive cartoons. The reasons that parents wanted us to watch this cartoon is to try and convince us that spinach is good for us. They also wanted us to become 'stronger' by eating this plant.
I think we all agree about that. Spinach is one of those superfoods. However, very few of us know that it is one of the best food for a healthy brain.
By eating it, you'll provide your brain with plenty of antioxidants. Experts also agree that you'll provide it with many vitamins and minerals that it requires for functioning more effectively.
4- Intelligent green tea
We all know that green tea is a great source of antioxidants. We also know that the tea contains large amounts of caffeine. That is why people drink it as a substitute for coffee.
What you need to know is that caffeine is good for you. Like everything else, it is good as long as you do not become dependent on it. It is also good if you do not go overboard with caffeine. improves meditative function,
If you take the right measure, that green tea will definitely improve your meditative function. It will increase your concentration and focus when needed the most.
I know that you might say, why don't you use coffee or chocolate for the antioxidants. At the end of the day, these antioxidants are in these two ingredients too.
Well, experts are adamant on this matter, coffee and chocolate have fewer antioxidants beneficial to your brain then green tea. Now you know why I drink green tea.
5- Eggs that make you smarter
Again, very few knows this. Eggs are really good for your brain.
Experts keep finding new things about eggs. However, they also mention that the eggs that are good for you are the one from a real farm (free range). They are the ones where the chicken run around, eat healthily and as such will provide you with the right vitamins.
Eggs contain choline. Choline is one of those vitamins that you need if you want to become smarter. It improves your memory, strengthens it and makes it sharper to brain queries. especially in egg whites.
Eggs whites are full of choline. So eat them.
A video summarizing plants that make you smarter
Here is a video that shows you a summary of the different plants that can make you smarter.
Now you know that you can eat carrots and spinach, yogurt, green tea, and eggs. All of these make you smarter.
So if you are looking to become more intelligent, you can just make a three-course meal with the above ingredients.
First, make a salad with the carrots (first course). Then do a nice omelet with some spinach (main course). Then, you eat a yogurt as a dessert (third course). And finally, have a fantastic green tea to drink for your digestion.
All of these will make you a superb menu that you can share with friends and family. But your brain will also love you for it.
Back to you
I hope that this post will make me smarter as I am eating a lot of the above foods. I love spinach. And I love eggs, etc. So, all in all, I can eat these and still write for you 🙂
Please do not forget to take action and like the post. Share it with your friends and families and please leave a comment below.
See you soon in another Omigy post.

The 11 teams at Carradine's workout -- Chiefs, Lions, Browns, Saints, Bengals, Vikings, Colts, Broncos, Patriots, Falcons, Niners— Joe Reedy (@joereedy) April 20, 2013
The Denver Broncos were among the 11 teams who attended Cornellius "Tank" Carradine's workout. According to people there, Carradine ran a 40 time of 4.75.
135 days ago Carradine underwent knee surgery, so the fact he's running a 4.75 now is amazing.
Carradine is an obvious option for the Broncos at 28. With the release of now Baltimore Raven Defensive End Elvis Dumervil, the Broncos now have a hole at DE. Carradine could help replace Dumervils production.
Many scouts are on record saying Carradine is the best pass rusher in this draft class, and that if he didn't hurt his knee last November he would be a top 10-15 pick. Carradine is a 6'4 276lb defensive end and is very athletic. Carradine also has an ideal frame that you look for at the defensive end position.
ProFootballTalk goes on to say that Carradine had an "Impressive workout".
Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Carradine ran a 4.75-second 40-yard dash at a workout for NFL scouts today. That's a good time for a defensive end in any context, but it's particularly good for a player who had reconstructive knee surgery 135 days ago.
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Carradine had recorded 11 sacks and was Florida State's leading tackler when he got hurt late in his senior season. Before his injury he was viewed as a likely first-round draft pick, and after today's showing, he still might be.
Here's NFL.com scouting report on Carradine.
STRENGTHS: Carradine flashes explosion off the snap to challenge the lateral agility of right tackles, and can swipe them away with strong hands to slingshot into the pocket. He also plays with the leverage of a shorter player, brings a strong initial punch to bull lesser tackles off the ball, and simply shoves tight ends away like ragdolls in the run game. There's certainly no issue with his motor, as he will hustle to the sideline if the play can be made.
WEAKNESSES: Though Carradine shows most all of the physical attributes teams covet in a defensive end, his lack of experience is a negative. And if he isn't on the field for any extended period of time in 2012, it might be tough for scouts to give him a starter's grade because they don't know what his level of stamina against better competition.
NFL COMPARISON: Justin Tuck
BOTTOM LINE: On most other defenses, Carradine would have started as a first-year junior college transfer, but Bjoern Werner and Brandon Jenkins limited his snaps in 2011. Still, he flashed real athleticism and strength and was able to take the starting right defensive end spot by the horns when Jenkins was sidelined for the season. Carradine appeared to be headed for a first-round selection, but a torn ACL will limit his work prior to April's draft. The talent is certainly there, however.
Carradine has been rising up many scouts big boards. NFL Networks Daniel Jeremiah ranks Carradine as his 2nd overall DE and 31st overall player in this years draft, and NFL Networks Mike Mayock ranks him as his 5th overall DE. Also rotoworlds Josh Norris ranks Carradine as his 10th overall prospect and 2nd overall DE. I expect the Broncos to be very interested in Carradine and very well could be the Broncos pick at 28
Would you be happy if the Broncos selected Carradine in the first round? Tell me what you think.
Go Broncos!

This school is located in a new development for the O'Chiese First Nation on a previously heavily forested site. The school is the cornerstone of large-scale future development including roadways, civil works and housing and will spur further planned growth.
While a literal iconic form was not desired for the school design, the school focus is a round multi-purpose room which faces south and will be used for music, drumming and ceremonies including smudging. The building is set on the crest of a hill and embraces this special room while overlooking playfields to the south.
The community felt strongly that the building should be durable and of high quality. Split face masonry is used as a cladding to the exterior, striated in fragmented horizontal bands in three colours echoing the geological strata of the local siltstone of the school site. Colours of the local pow wow, and ground vegetation during fall were used to inspire the interior colour scheme.
The school is arranged in three parts with elementary and senior wings flanking a central community-use area including the gymnasium, library, cafeteria and multi-purpose room. The cafeteria is the major point of reference upon entry to the facility. It has natural light from multiple directions, views over playfields to the south, a full commercial kitchen and is intended to provide alternative opportunities for students to study and socialize.

I'm too busy on Lanzarote doing nothing in all its different aspects instead of sitting down and write down any more words with the small exception of these ones – I do fall silent for a while, good little Zen exercise, ha! Words interfere with action, words interfere with silence, and I'm too obsessed with silence and action on this island's remote places than to melt time away with the fabric of thinking in words. So, now being officially invited to two, three exciting "cave concerts", expecting to meet some handsome shadows from the past, and just being smashed by nice waves at Famara, under the sky blue sky (love that Wilco album!), I take a seat at Las Bajas (waiting for my second cafe con leche), and here it is, the program of my "nighthawk ego".
The first two hours will lead you to the mountains of Gran Paradiso, to new and forthcoming albums of ECM and Hubro in large numbers, with some surprising "space music" in between. Outer Space Brass Music, don't laugh. The third hour will be dedicated to Brian Eno's four classic song albums of the '70s. Eno is smart. His is the kind of smartness that can trip itself up through overthinking, or make for art whose interest is mainly formal or "functional". But he dodged that bullet thanks to his other great obsession, which is giving up his conscious mind's control. Surrender is the secret code of a breathing system.
And, well, Brian has never been praised enough for finding heartbreaking melodies – the only reason a bunch of his songs became no evergreens is this one: they never hit the charts. The fourth and fifth hour will open up for the time travel department. There will be long passages of three albums played in a row in hour no. four. There will be tracks of three other albums played in special combination within the two parts of hour no. five. There are some good reasons to make Jon Balke's forthcoming album part of these time travels: his second SIWAN project, out on Nov. 3rd, has a different line-up, but it is so good that you don't even miss the presence of Jon Hassell!

Elijah Milliken
Rocky Mount, Nash County, NC
US Army
August 5, 1918 – December 11, 1918
September 15, 1918 – December 11, 1918
Died of Disease: December 11, 1918
According to Elijah Milliken's NC WWI Service Card, he was born in Southport, NC, on August 30, 1896. The 1900 Census and 1910 Census show him living in Shallotte, the oldest son of Robert and Mary Milliken. His father Robert was a farmer.
When the first draft registration was held for WWI on June 5, 1917, it was required for men between the ages of 21 and 31. Elijah was not yet 21.
A city directory from Wilmington, NC, [Source: Ancestry] has a listing for Elijah Milliken as a clerk, living at 1810 Castle, along with Bruce, mill hand, and Robert L. This is very likely Elijah and his brother, Robert Bruce, and father Robert.
The building at 1810 Castle St in Wilmington is a low brick building built in 1900. [Source: New Hanover Count Tax Records] It still exists today, although it's no longer residential. You can see it on Google street view here. An advertisement from the October 3, 1915, issue of The Wilmington Morning Star lists the residence at 1810 Castle for rent, 5 rooms.
They weren't listed in the 1918 city directory, but as shown below, in 1918 Elijah and his father were in Rocky Mount working at a mill there.
When the second draft registration was held on June 5, 1918, to include males who were 18 years and older, Elijah registered. At that time, Elijah was single and working at the Rocky Mount Mills. He listed his nearest relative as his father at Rocky Mount Mills.
Elijah was ordered to report for military duty on August 5, 1918 [Source: Ancestry] in Nash County, and sent to Camp Wadsworth, SC. He joined others from Brunswick County assigned to 55th Pioneer Infantry, as described in Kendrick Outlaw's WWI Profile.
The Companies the soldiers were assigned seem to have changed often. Below is a photograph for Company D, which is the company referenced as Pvt Millken's in the Mother's Pilgrimage document near the end of this profile. He and the other Brunswick County soldiers may or may not be included in the photograph.
Source: NC Archives
Pvt Milliken and all of the Brunswick County soldiers in the 55th Pioneer Infantry left for France on September 15, 1918.
Pvt Elijah Milliken passed away from pneumonia on December 11, 1918.
His final three months are difficult to determine. No documents were found describing operations of the 55th Pioneer Infantry, possibly because they were created specifically to assist in combat or engineering work as needed.
Using the NC WWI Service Cards from Brunswick County 55th Pioneer Infantry soldiers shown in Pvt Kendrick Outlaw's WWI Profile (also located on the World War I Army/Marine Division Roster webpage), many of the soldiers from the 55th Pioneer Infantry were transferred to the 81st Division on November 1, 1918, whose operations are covered around that time beginning with Willie Hasper Hewett's WWI Profile.
Pvt Milliken's NC WWI Service Card has no information regarding whether he served in combat or remained ill for several months before succumbing to pneumonia.
By the 1920 Census, the family had returned to Shallotte.
Source: Sewell, Patricia and Cecilia Palin, eds.. U.S. World War I Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1929 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 1999.
Elijah's mother, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Milliken, was given the opportunity to take a Mother's Pilgrimage in 1929 to visit his gravesite. All three mothers listed from Brunswick County declined.
Pvt Elijah Milliken was laid to rest in Saint Mihiel American Cemetery and Memorial in Lorraine, France.

Astenbeck Capital, the energy and commodities hedge fund led by oil trading "god" Andrew J. Hall, is on track for its worst year ever.
The fund fell 10% in November and is now down 26.3% year-to-date, Reuters' Barani Krishnan reported on Tuesday.
Hall, who's been bullish on oil, has been burned by the commodity's price collapse this year. The S&P GSCI Crude Oil Index has fallen more than 42%.
But it doesn't sound like he's backing out anytime soon.
On December 1, he wrote the following in a letter to investors obtained by Business Insider:
With short term and long term factors pulling in opposite directions, prices are likely to remain volatile for the time being, driven by macroeconomic sentiment and positioning. In the shorter term the market remains oversupplied and inventories, already high, will probably rise a bit more in the New Year, even if they are falling currently. However, in the longer term, prices are unsustainable low on any reasonable assessment and global spare capacity is wafer thin. Predicting the precise trajectory of prices given these conflicting pressures is all but impossible. With heightened geopolitical risks and current positioning, there is a very real possibility for significant short term price spikes. There is certainly still a chance of lower prices in the next month or so, but weighing that possibility against the virtually inevitability of higher prices down the road leads to a simple conclusion: now is not the time to exit the market.
Hall was certainly spot-on when he noted a chance for lower prices in the next month or so.
On Tuesday, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil fell as low as $36.90 a barrel, the lowest level since the financial crisis. Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, fell below $40 a barrel for the first time since February 2009.
We left a message with Astenbeck seeking comment.
