A data sample of events from proton-proton collisions with two isolated same-sign leptons, missing transverse momentum, and jets is studied in a search for signatures of new physics phenomena by the CMS Collaboration at the LHC. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1), and a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The properties of the events are consistent with expectations from standard model processes, and no excess yield is observed. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set on cross sections for the pair production of gluinos, squarks, and same-sign top quarks, as well as top-quark associated production of a heavy scalar or pseudoscalar boson decaying to top quarks, and on the standard model production of events with four top quarks. The observed lower mass limits are as high as 1500 GeV for gluinos, 830 GeV for bottom squarks. The excluded mass range for heavy (pseudo) scalar bosons is 350-360 (350-410) GeV. Additionally, model-independent limits in several... topological regions are provided, allowing for further interpretations of the results.

'Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation,' By Andrew Marantz
'The New Yorker,' writer Andrew Marantz has written a book exposing Nazis as the population continues to be replaced with the 3rd World.
After girls were disgusted with boys in elementary school and everyone's forgotten that that had happened, they see the ones they had hated as being heterosexual.
It wasn't an accident that after all of the homophobia AIDS created rap music went mainstream in 1990.
Kids sat in class with Asians and watched heterosexual black people on TV.
The valedictorian of my high school was a temperamental fat guy who was covered with boils as people paid it forwards and backwards, having contempt for others. And somehow we got gay positive through mass immigration while going on and on about the Holocaust.
Marantz has written a diatribe against the Alt-Right which is sure to be on university reading lists for years to come…
'The Nation,' just wrote a review of this book entitled, 'Down The Alt-Right Rabbit Hole.'
It features two pop-up ads; one for Elizabeth Warren and the other for AOC…
Here's an excerpt:
The world could certainly do with less cocktail-party coverage of right-wing organizing, but Marantz delivers a convincing mission statement by opening his book with a 50-page walkaround of the DeploraBall, the "alt-light" MAGA party at the National Press Club the night before Trump's inauguration. Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes repeats a testosterone-fueled story about punching an anti-fascist protester in the mouth; billionaire tech venture capitalist Peter Thiel makes a brief appearance before returning to the shadows; a quiet, skinny white kid in a MAGA hat seems unsure of why he's there; while outside, notorious white supremacist Richard Spencer—formally banned from attending—lurks on the margins, hoping to lure partygoers who prefer "a real dissident movement." The account reads as a moment of chaotic convergence, as trolls, shock jocks, confused young people, and true fascist ideologues come into awkward alignment just as the toxic mix of ideas they represent are laundered by the mainstream press and begin to take hold of real policy.

Sia Were, one of the 140 young artists helped by the CREATE AMAZING Opportunities Challenge
Left to Right: Sia with director Lola (seated) and actors Lily and Parker in the one-act play "7 Minutes In Heaven"
Sia at her grandfather Humphreys' farm with her mother, Anzetse
Sia Were [wer·Ã] is enthusiastic and dedicated, with a spirit to learn. But sometimes, passion, hope, and determination need nurturing. With the help of a scholarship through the Interlochen Annual Fund, she was able to cross the Atlantic and pursue her dream.
At 16, Sia's passion for acting—and the 2018 Create Amazing Opportunities Challenge—brought her from Nairobi, Kenya to Interlochen, Michigan.
Sia's family was instrumental in helping her find her way to Interlochen. It was her mother Anzetse, an economist and researcher, who first discovered Interlochen Arts Academy's Theatre Arts program. Her grandparents, Miriam and Humphreys, are the source of her determination—something she has needed to brave the challenges of life in a far-away country.
More than 7,800 miles from home, Sia studies with artists who know little about her world. Nairobi is home to over 3 million people and over 100 major international companies and organizations. And even though it is also home to a large game reserve, the Nairobi National Park, "Lions are not wandering around my home," Sia said.
Anzetse knew her daughter, with her openness to cultural and personality differences, would be a benefit to Interlochen Center for the Arts. She also knew that Sia's single-minded focus on theatre would help her succeed. But first she had to get here.
The intent of last year's Create Amazing Opportunities Challenge was to help young artists like Sia attend Interlochen Arts Camp or Interlochen Arts Academy. Trustee Dr. Mohamed El-Erian initiated a rally to increase scholarship support by expanding participation among supporters. His idea? With every new gift to the Interlochen Annual Fund—regardless of amount—he would add another $100.
The impact was tremendous.
More than 3,700 supporters raised an additional $2 million for scholarships—helping 140 young artists, including Sia, attend Interlochen. The challenge brought gifts in all shapes and sizes, including $1 from junior Camp students who donated their Melody Freeze money. In fact, the majority of supporters gave under $250. And more than 2,000 new supporters participated.
"Increasing scholarship support is vital to ensuring Interlochen is accessible to all promising young artists, regardless of financial means," said Interlochen President Trey Devey. "A diverse student body enriches the experience for everyone at Interlochen and helps our student population to reflect the global world of art and culture."
Sia made it to Interlochen, bringing her determined optimism with a "can do" attitude. Her mother hopes Sia will encourage her peers to keep pursuing their goals with a positive mindset. Thanks to the scholarship made possible by the success of the Opportunities Challenge, she gets a chance to pursue her dream and positively influence other students.
"I would like to thank everyone for contributing towards my dream and rewarding me with this unforgettable and exuberant adventure. I am immensely grateful," Sia said.
She is interested in what goes into making a play as well as performing. This spring, she will be an assistant stage manager for the upcoming musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the Victor Hugo classic. She also performed in the student-run play Eight forty-six.
Through the Create Amazing Opportunities Challenge, thousands of heroes worldwide made gifts to help Sia—and 139 additional determined artists—find their adventure.
Creating opportunities for young artists near and far, regardless of their financial means, is a key priority for Interlochen Center for the Arts as it prepares for its second century. To make a gift to the Annual Fund and be a hero to tomorrow's artists, please visit www.interlochen.org/give.
To learn more about Sia, visit her website where she shares experiences, photographs, and thoughts about acting, from technique to her favorite films.

UPDATE: thanks to a little back and forth communication via eBay I now have a stack of Guam patches in the mail headed my way. (both tribal and standard designs) I've also learned more about the person offering these beautiful items for sale, and am happy to share his web site address for the convenience of ordering some of his designs yourselves… be sure to check out: Gerård Aflågue Collection http://www.gerardaflaguecollection.com/
I don't normally wear patches. Even though I shelled out a bunch of money last year to have my own "Marshal Cam" patches made to be given out to volunteers who would record a video about their participation to share on our facebook and youtube channels, I always felt guilty sewing mine on because it'd take a patch away from me giving it to Marshal Cam participants.
But I have stumbled across a patch on eBay that I'd really like to get. A Guam official seal embroidered, sew-on/iron-on patch:
It's being sold as a Single. Or a set of Triplets:
Or even a set of Quintuplets:
Not only that, the seller offers a "Tribal" design option which looks pretty amazing in my point of view:
And it's also available as a Triplet auction or a Quintuplet:
I am seriously debating getting at least one of each to sew on my white or orange uniform for the potential event or two I will volunteer this season, if I'm lucky.
It would certainly be "cool" to say the least. Perhaps others would be interested too, so I'll link the current auction and a direct link to the eBay seller (who's based in Colorado) in case the listings go down. Get them while supplies last. Photo credit, eBay:

PS. I love the presentation of the auction photos, something feels just right with that country style bag in the background.

Long story short..
-Orkin found evidence of termites. They will be taking care of the termites. They said not to replace any wood for 2 months as they need time to die out.
-We live in a one story (with attic above) typical small house. It's 28' by 42' in size.
-The termites are in the main beam that goes up the middle of the house, the photos are in our basement. It's hard to tell how bad all 3 of the attached 2"x12"'s are without poking around or pulling on it etc. It's looks very bad but possibly there is a little strength in there somewhere. (I believe 2×12 is the size)
-The floor joists are all ok with just a tiny amount of damage on the underside of 1 or 2.
-The main beam has settled down. I can see this also when looking at the floor joists that sit on it. The first 2 or so from the wall have light between them and the main beam. So the main beam is doing nothing to help those 2. (I removed the drywall after Orkin was here)
-There is a metal post in the center of this room. The wood beams on the other side are in good condition.
-It is oak flooring above, so if they were in plywood etc. I believe the floor is still strong. There is not sagging or flexing that I detect.
-I'm not really sure of how much strength is in the floor joists that sit on top of this beam. The floor joists are still good and overlap the main beam. I can see them through the drop tile ceiling.
I would like to "secure" the area. We have small kids and I don't want the beams to possibly fall down. I also don't want our upstairs falling downstairs haha! Is there enough support if that beam did give out in the remaining floor joists etc? I would like to at least place a temporary support under the beam to keep it from falling. I was also thinking of placing 2×4 or 2×6 on their sides as best I can up against the ceiling. Then putting in 4- 4×4 posts and then connecting them all together for support if the beam gave out so they wouldn't buckle. Not jacking anything up at this point but just building this underneath so if anything falls, it's falling a quarter inch onto this support deal. This might all sound confusing not talking in person. I'm a hobby woodworker, not too advanced. I've built a chicken coop and playhouse but I'm not real familiar with home construction! edited to add: I do have a family member who will help replace down the road in 2 months. I would just like to make it safe without too much work since I'm really busy with my job now, and then he can do whatever he likes to jack it back up, replace etc.

Urban regeneration and ethnic minority groups: training and business support in City Challenge areas
Taner Oc, Steven Tiesdell and David Moynihan
1st Nov 1997
Despite widespread recognition of race as a central part of the urban debate, urban regeneration policy has often failed to adequately address the issue.
This research assesses the relevance of City Challenge projects to the needs of ethnic minority groups. Focusing on the ethnic minority population in these areas, the report identifies common patterns and innovations in training provision and business support; assesses the relevance and impact of training and business support; draws conclusions from the experience of City Challenge to identify good practice in the provision and delivery of training and business support to ethnic minority groups.

Welcome back folks!
Most of us spend our entire lives either future tripping or living in the past. We are literally sleepwalking through our life trapped by our obsessive thinking! Choosing to live in the past or the future not only robs you of your enjoyment today, it robs you of truly living and experiencing life at its fullest.
"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."
Ask yourself: How often are you truly living in the NOW moment?
When we are still in the present moment we have access to our higher power and this is where all the answers to our questions reside. It's a magical and powerful place to be! The more you train your mind to be present, the greater the power you have to transform your life.
In this week's video I talk about how to become more present and share some simple steps you can take today to train yourself to start living in the NOW moment.
Blessings to you.

Well guys its been a while since I've done one of these. When I built the motor for this car it was a toss up between 3.8 and 4.2. I decided on 3.8 and have been happy so far. Well like everything else that has been done to my car an opportunity presented itself to acquire a known good 4.2 and I couldn't resist. After receiving the motor it apparently had a small amount of metal pass through it at some point so my hope that it could be ball honed and ringed was a pipe dream lol.
The motor is being prepped first .004 had to be removed from the cylinders so the pistons are getting a special .004 coating and custom rings from total seal. Then while I'm in there I am having calico coated rod main and can bearings installed. Once it is all done I plan to pull the 3.8 and transfer all of the top end, dbl roller timing set and all the other goodies over from the existing 3.8. I am also going to send the clutch to McLeod to have it checked, install a condenser core for the eventual reinstall of the ac and do more wire tucking. The other upgrades I am doing are a Cadillac ATS brembo brake upgrade which I will discuss in detail. I am also having AJE upgrade the lower a arms while I'm at it because I noticed they were bent while preparing to pull the engine.

For years, probiotics have been touted as a fast track to a healthy gut, but new research suggests that might not be true.
A group of researches from Israel recently published two studies evaluating the effectiveness of over the counter probiotics on the human stomach's microbiome - the community of microbes living in our gut. The results show that in many cases, probiotics just don't do anything at all.
The first study analyzed the microbiomes of 25 health volunteers before and after they consumed probiotics. Researches found that the bacteria they ingested was often passed directly though the body instead of staying in the gut. When it did stay, it was overwhelmed by the stomach's preexisting bacteria. This suggests that, for the most part, taking probiotic products does nothing for you.
The second study had even worse results. Researchers measured probiotic effectiveness after volunteers consumed antibiotics, which kill or inhibit a variety of bacterial growth in the gut. Consuming the probiotics actually slowed the regrowth of the individual's regular gut bacteria. However, when given a pill containing their own, regular stomach bacteria, subjects recovered from the antibiotics much more quickly.
"We've identified for the first time a very major potential adverse effect of probiotics that was not considered before," Eran Elinav - the study's senior author - told CTV News.
However, some members of the scientific community are challenging the significance of these findings. Marie Claire Arrieta - co-author of the book 'Let Them Eat Dirt' and assistant professor in physiology and pharmacology at the University of Calgary - argues that the findings are irrelevant since neither study looked at people with stomach and intestinal conditions.
"This is as if someone was to study the effects of insulin in a group of healthy non-diabetic people and presented their findings as if they were given to diabetic people."
Either way, you might want to lay off the yogurt the next time you get prescribed an antibiotic.

The felony case against a 58-year-old San Francisco man charged with child sex abuse and possessing child pornography will be transferred from Solano County Superior Court in Fairfield to Vallejo.
Commissioner Bryan J. Kim on Tuesday ordered Alexander Vitaly Bantov, shackled at the waist and wearing a striped jail jumpsuit for afternoon proceedings in Department 24 in Fairfield, to appear at 9 a.m. Oct. 7 in Department 15, Judge Robert Bowers' courtroom in the Justice Building.
Bantov, a Ukrainian national and former resident of Canada, is charged with two counts of sex acts with a child 10 years old or younger; seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts on a child; and one count of possessing pornographic images. If found guilty of all the charges at trial, Bantov could be sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison.
His attorney, John D. Forsyth of San Francisco, argued for release of his client from Solano County Jail custody, with bail, citing Bantov's medical conditions, including high blood pressure; lack of a prior criminal record; ownership of a home in San Francisco; and his responsibility of caring for his elderly father in San Francisco.
Additionally, Forsyth noted Bantov has had no additional contact with the victims since his arrest earlier this month, and possessed a "green card," a permit allowing a foreign national to live and work permanently in the United States.
But Deputy District Attorney Shelly Moore told Kim that investigators noted a San Francisco neighbor of Bantov's said the defendant was recently trying to "sell his home for cash" and may be a flight risk.
Kim denied Forsyth's request for bail, and Bantov, a ruddy-faced man with a shock of blond hair swept back over his head, returned to jail.
The mid-September arrest was not the first time Bantov was placed into custody in the case.
Court records indicate he was first arrested on Aug. 31 after police received a report at about 12:09 p.m. of a man fondling a minor inside the IHOP restaurant, at 114 Plaza Drive, in Vallejo.
Officers arrested Bantov, who, at the time, was in the company of two minors he was looking after. One of the minors was the same one that Bantov was seen fondling.
An additional patron of the restaurant also reported seeing Bantov inappropriately touching the minor, police said.
He was arrested and booked into the Solano County jail on a count of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14.
Almost two weeks later, on Sept. 12, detectives were able to successfully download and review the content of Bantov's cell phone, according to a Vallejo Times-Herald report. They found several images of child pornography. One of these photographs depicted Bantov involved in a lascivious act with one of the minors he was with at the IHOP, investigators said.
He was re-arrested the same day at his San Francisco home for child molestation and possession of child pornography.
Court records indicate the Solano County DA filed its complaint on Sept. 16, the same day Bantov was booked into Solano County Jail. Four days later, the defendant posted two separate bail bonds, of $100,000 and $75,000, respectively, but it does not appear he was released from custody.
Detectives have been continuously searching several electronic devices seized from Bantov's residence. Additional images of child pornography have been located on those devices, police said.
Detectives are attempting to determine if there are additional victims of abuse and are encouraging anyone who may have additional information to contact Detective Craig Long at 648-4514.

(CMC) – Afghanistan's cricket coach Phil Simmons has criticised the West Indies' selectors for some of their decisions following the side's 71-run loss to India in the second Twenty20 International on Tuesday.
Simmons, a former head coach of the regional side, said the team's selectors seemed to not fully understand the format, as was evident in some of their choices.
He said one such decision was a move to promote Denesh Ramdin to the top-order, referring to it as an example of confusion in the lineup.
"It just sounds and looks like who's selecting the team don't understand what the T20 format needs and what is going on with this team. The roles of people are not being defined," Simmons said.
"I think when you're selecting a team, you have to make sure you have the right people for each phase of the T20 format. And if you don't have the right people at the top of it, as India have shown with their three in Rohit (Sharma), Shikhar (Dhawan) and whenever Virat (Kohli) is there, they have that balance. They provide that stability for the rest of the team."
Simmons said the inability of the selectors to find a solid opening pair was one of the Windies' biggest issues.
He said once a steady opening pair was established, the tone would be set for batsmen such as Darren Bravo, as well as big-hitters Kieron Pollard and Nicolas Pooran to feel more confident in the wicket.
"With West Indies only having makeshift openers, you only create problems for yourself because when they fail early on, the middle-order doesn't have any time to settle, and that's where the struggle is coming from," Simmons contended.

I was blown away by the information in this book, and I'm seriously glad I read it.
I haven't quite hit menopause, but it's not too far off, so one of the first things I'm going to do it get my testosterone levels tested. I'm amazed at how one simple test can cure all kinds of symptoms, that usually have to be endured or you get a handful of different meds to deal with.
This is a very important book for women to read.

On Saturday night, my niece Spencer got married at The Liberty Warehouse, the most spectacular location for a wedding on a beautiful summer night.
At this time in my life, weddings are a time for reflection on my marriage, as well as on the overall idea of marriage as I look to the future for my adult children. Marrying Tom was the single best thing I've ever done, and yet a happy marriage is a hard mission to accomplish. Saying "I Do" for the rest of your life is no easy task, especially today when we have the attention span of goldfish.
Spencer asked me to be a part of her ceremony. She wanted me to give her and her future husband advice for a happy marriage. I'm sure she thought that as a writer, and someone who was happily married, it would be an easy task, and to be honest, I thought it would be too. I usually have no problem sitting in front of an empty screen and banging out 1000 words. But, it was one of the more difficult pieces I've ever had to write.
- This wasn't something I was writing inside a card. It was to be read in front of hundreds of people.
- I had to be brief – I limited myself to 90 seconds.
- It had to ring true and be "doable."
- I wanted it to be about the bride and groom, and not me and Tom.
- Was I jinxing my marriage by daring to give others advice?
I started with an excerpt from Captain Corelli's Mandolin to set the overall theme of the message.
Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that grow towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom have fallen from their branches,
they find that they are one tree and not two.
And then came my advice:
Laughter is your secret weapon. If you can laugh together, you can get through anything.
A successful marriage involves conscious effort. Don't expect challenges to clear up on their own. And when all else fails, rock, paper, scissors is a good alternative.
Embrace change. I've had at least three marriages, all to the same person. Humans are works in progress. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
I think it went well.
Have fun. Be bold.

The new KEF AV70 speaker package combines the brilliant IQ70 floorstanding speakers along with the IQ60c centre speaker, the smaller IQ10 and the powerful high performance KEF KUBE 2 active subwoofer to provide a full, fast and exciting 5.1 speaker package
Heading up the front of the KEF AV70 speaker package is the KEF IQ70 floorstanding speakers. With all the benefits of the KEF iQ90 in a slimmer enclosure, the KEF iQ70 is an assertive full bandwidth two and a half-way bass reflex floorstander that reproduces music and movie soundtracks with equal clarity and flair. With the 165mm (6.5in.) new Uni-Q point source array and 19mm (0.75in.) tweeter partnered by a high performance low frequency driver of the same size, it radiates a faultlessly detailed 3D acoustic image evenly throughout the room
To perfectly match the KEF AV70 floorstanding front speakers is the KEF IQ60c centre speaker, which provides the KEF AV70 speaker package with vocals that are clear and precisely located whatever the volume. Lower frequency effects are equally involving and delivered with real clout. So, as well as the radically innovative design, high end components and advanced engineering; you'll find yourself immersed in an intricate three-dimensional soundscape.
The rear section of the KEF AV70 speaker package is provided from the KEF iQ10 bookshelf speakers. The KEF AV70 rear speakers prove that size isn't everything, the sensational130mm (5.25in.) Uni-Q coincident driver array in a reflex-ported cabinet, the calibre of its acoustic performance is out of all proportion to its modest dimensions. Transitions between the natural-sounding high frequencies refreshingly open midrange and hefty extended bass are impeccably fluent. As satellite speakers in a 5.1 system, they're beguilingly descriptive and realistic, creating an engrossingly intricate three-dimensional soundscape that adds real depth to the viewing experience
KEF IQ70 floorstanding speakers KEF IQ10 rear speakers KEF IQ60c centre speaker KEF Kube 2 subwoofer Uni-Q coincident driver array Available in Black Ash, Dark Apple or American Walnut

Best Exhibitor Innovation:
Best Health Product:
Paris, 2nd February 2017: Pharmapack Europe (#PharmapackEU), organised by UBM EMEA, announce the winners of the 2017 Pharmapack Awards. Due to the outstanding quality of entries, four innovations were selected in the Exhibitor Innovation category, and two winners received awards in the Health Product category.
The Innovation Gallery displayed all 19 cutting edge exhibitor finalists, with the winners of both awards categories announced on February 1st during the prestigious Pharmapack 20-years party. In the Exhibitor Innovation category, the winners were: August Faller GmbH & Co. KG - Pharma Compliance Pack; EVEON - Intuity®Ject; Multi-Color Corporation – SMART Packaging Solution; and Nemera – Safelia®.
In the Health Product category two winners received recognition, Celgene's OTEZLA (apremilast) Titrition Pack for their contribution to "patient compliance", and Sanofi Pasteur & Campak for "Eco-Design" with the Compact Box.
OTEZLA (apremilast) Titrition Pack by Celgene was recognised for its design that maximizes patient compliance to titration-dosing schedule. Containing three different strengths of Otezla® pills (10mg, 20mg, 30mg) and easy to read and understand instructions, it promotes patient adherence and compliance to the Otezla® titration dosing regimen.
The Compact Box, created by the partnership of Sanofi Pasteur and Campak, simultaneously improves environmental footprint, customer convenience, supply chain costs and industrial performance. The breakthrough enables packaging volume to be reduced by 50% and eliminates the need for PVC blisters. Reduction is achieved through using continuous motion technology, and cold chain benefits include a 30% improvement in distribution costs.
Anne Schumacher, Brand Director at Pharmapack Europe, commented "the entire event is dedicated to innovation, from the products on the show floor through to the content sessions, but the awards provide international recognition and are very much the crowning glory of Pharmapack Europe each year. All the exhibitor awards' finalists are featured in the Innovation Gallery and Innovation Tours. But beyond this, we also introduced the new Pharmapack Start-up Hub, to showcase the most cutting edge early stage innovations. There has been such a breadth of technologies on show this week, with the judging panel acknowledging the exceptionally high standard of entries, so I would like to offer my congratulations to the winners for the benefits they are bringing to healthcare."
The Pharma Compliance Pack by August Faller GmbH & Co. received the Best Exhibitor Innovation for "Patient Compliance". This unique innovation – which also features authenticity protection – guides the patient easily through the medication by incorporating perforated tabs, that are removed before a tablet is taken, meaning blisters can only be withdrawn in "portions". As a result, the patient takes their medication at the right time, in the correct order, and in the prescribed amount – promoting much improved treatment adherence.
Intuity®Ject by EVEON was selected as the Best Exhibitor Innovation for "Ease of use & Patient compliance". This is an industry first; it's the only fully automated injector that adapts to vials. The all-in-one platform provides automated preparation and administration, with a modular design to adapt to primary containers. It also works with viscous drugs and can monitor batch numbers, date/time and volumes delivered – transmitting this information to patient or healthcare professional.
Best Exhibitor Innovation for "Patient Safety", the Multi-Color Corporation's SMART Packaging Solution transforms standard packaging into effective, interactive touchpoints for use throughout the drug supply chain. This means you can communicate with various users, whilst also offering security and logistics management for traceability and tamper evidence. The innovation includes copy proof QR code, NFC/RFID technologies, proof of purchase and an analytics dashboard.
Finally, Nemera's Safelia® was bestowed the award for Best Exhibitor Innovation for "Patient Centricity & Customization". An innovative autoinjector used for the delivery of 1ml and 2.25ml prefilled syringes; it is able to administer both high volumes and high viscosities through thinner needles. Providing automatic needle insertion, injection and needle retraction, Safelia® can be customized to specific patient cohorts and formulations – including the most difficult ones (viscous, fragile, non-Newtonian behaviour).
"As a visitor, you have a snapshot of the innovations on the market. As an exhibitor, you have a lot of visitors coming to your stand. But it is certain that with the award we won this year, we have even more people visiting our booth in order to understand more about our innovations. This is really thanks to Pharmapack and prestige of their awards, the prize and event are very important to our business. Vincent Tempelaere, CEO, Eveon
"In the past two decades, the high calibre products from exhibitors and visitors is a testament to the heart of innovation that permeates our sector and event. This year, our winners were those who excelled through patient compliance, digital integration, sustainability and automation – continuously breaking boundaries and developing the revolutionary solutions of tomorrow." added Schumacher.

By choosing Vinna Fitness, you get a team of proven, certified, and experienced trainers. Each of our coaches works with clients one-on-one to learn health histories, goals, needs, and wants to build personal training programs for everyone. We work with you to teach you the proper techniques to reduce injuries, stay healthy, and help you on your way to feel and move better for life.
I started working with Lani at Vinna Fitness about four months ago. I'd been suffering shoulder, neck and back pain for some time and it was beginning to prevent me from doing all of the things I love. I'd been lifting weights for many years, but Lani was able to identify how my movement patterns were keeping me from progressing and leading to injury.We went back to basics with careful attention to form. I started to feel relief from pain within just a couple of weeks, and seeing gains in strength and muscle in less than two months even though I was lifting with less intensity and frequency than before! The Vinna coaches use the Functional Movement process so there is a measurable and tangible way to track progress.Today I am pain free and I recover faster after activities like Jiu Jitsu and rock climbing. I've even picked up some new skills! Can't recommend Vinna Fitness enough!!
I started Vinna Fitness about a year ago. I just turned 55 and finally realized that the body left alone does not get better with time.Prior to Vinna Fitness, I had been a member of another gym which was very convenient to my office and I NEVER went. I needed a plan. Lifetime had all of the equipment but not the long-term plan. My plan is to be strong and fit enough to enjoy life: skiing, sailing, cycling, etc. After a year, I am well on my way.br>The big difference with Vinna Fitness is the personal attention from a trainer who understands you, your goals, and your body, and what you're trying to accomplish. When I started, I was extremely out of shape. The program that they built for me was never impossible never discouraging and always challenging and always moving me onward and upward. Now, I can't imagine a week going by without my workouts. When I am finished each time, I feel great.What works for me is that Vinna Fitness is not a giant place with 100 stair climbers where you just show up and do something. Vinna Fitness is where an appointment is made for a class or semi-private workout at a certain time. When left up to me, I will never go. If I have an appointment, I always go.All of these things about Vinna Fitness add up to success for me. I am stronger, am losing weight, and am better mentally and emotionally. My wife and 23 year old daughter have recently joined Vinna Fitness along with me and they love it. It's that good.At Vinna Fitness, I found what I am looking for: Great people who are experts in what I need to do and a structure where I accomplish the goals. I know nothing about fitness. They know everything. It is this knowledge and structure of workouts and classes that is the winning combination for me. It works.
I learned about Vinna from my physical therapist, who was working with me to manage multiple herniated lumbar discs. I have been working with Daniel and Lani at Vinna for a year now, and I highly recommend working with them. While one may start at Vinna for a particular problem, the fact is that everyone's body is a complex system with imbalances and movement dysfunction. One cannot simply focus in on one area without addressing how the whole system works. In my case, for example, flat foot arches and inflexible ankles may have had a cascading effect causing tight calves, hamstrings and hips. This risked forcing my back to absorb more stress than it probably should have, and for a long time! Also, my core was highly under-developed, even though I thought I knew how to train the core with bridges, sit-ups, pelvic tilts, etc. By addressing many of these issues, I have learned to take strain off my lumbar back and distribute gravity and force properly through my hip and leg joints. I call Vinna "total body physical therapy." I am not getting any younger, and I have ankles, knees, shoulders and many other joints that I want to keep healthy for the rest of my life! Just because I have a back problem today does not mean I am not developing a future knee or shoulder problem. Our bodies are dynamic, aging and require constant care. Vinna has been very helpful in teaching me about movement principles and how to care for myself. I have applied what I have learned at Vinna to how I swim, do yoga, sit, walk and swing the golf club. I know many middle-aged people who played college sports or who lead very active lifestyles, and we all rue the fact that we did not know 20 years ago what we know now with the benefit of Vinna coaching. We all recognize that we have not been moving correctly or exercising intelligently, which in all likelihood led to long-term imbalances in our body and eventual injury. Everyone has imbalances. They may be subtle; they creep up on us eventually, like termites chewing up the bottom of your porch. Although the problem may go unnoticed for a long time, one day the porch tumbles! Vinna has helped me identify many of my own imbalances and to start the long -- but fundamental and necessary -- return to overall physical balance. I consider Vinna a core element of my personal wellness program. I think anyone can benefit from working with Vinna -- whether you are a pro athlete, or a desk-bound "weekend warrior" like me. The coaches at Vinna can help you too.
"I would have never thought I would be stepping up on a box with one leg. When I first started I couldn't even balance on one leg."
"Sixty years of playing golf and always trying to get better. And now VINNA Fitness has exposed my physical shortcomings, set a prescribed path to improvement and in the process I've improved my swing.
The Vinna Team has pinpointed my deficiencies and set upon a specific schedule of exercises to improve stability, strength and flexibility. I can swing freely, hit balls without pain, and recover the next day quicker than before. I feel twenty years younger. Thanks everyone…"
Phil H.
"This is my third year working with Vinna Fitness, I am 65 years old and working on mobility and strength training with the coaches. They give you just the right combination of mobility, strength, cardio to help you move forward. I like the emphasis on the functional movement systems of Gray Cook. This has been an eye opener of how the body needs to move properly to avoid injury and work efficiently. Not only do I get training, but education, which I have been able to use with some of my patients as a family physician."
Dave P.
"I have worked out with Jason Green, founder of Vinna, for nearly 20 years. He and Vinna coaches have lead me successfully through the natural aging issues one faces when they desire to remain highly active in their personal pursuits. I have had numerous injuries & challenges along the way: (hip flexors, hamstring, lower back, patella tendon pain, tennis elbow and a full reconstructive surgery for my rotator cuff).
Team Vinna develops customized programs for each person based upon "functional movement" principles. That is, they focus on movements that we utilize in everyday life, not building beach bods. I have learned a ton and am always confident in their work because they stick with their basic core competencies built upon functional movement.
I just turned 60 and fully because of my continuous work with the Vinna team, I continue to heli-ski, golf, cycle, fly fish and hike at a high level. I cannot recommend Vinna enough. I am indebted to Team Vinna for helping me sustain my active life."
Rick L.
"I started at Vinna 6 months ago for chronic neck pain that was causing daily headaches. I am a mom of three young children and at the end of each day had a headache and was exhausted! I started at Vinna hoping they could help since I'd seen how much improvement my husband had with his chronic back and hip pain since starting there. I've worked closely with Lani for 6 months who has transformed me! My whole body is much stronger, but especially my core which helps take the tension off my neck and shoulders. I am happy to say I'm migraine free with only one or two dull headaches a week AND off my daily medication I was on for over a year for them. I couldn't be happier!!"
Christy M.
"Knowledgeable trainers, friendly atmosphere. Really great!"
"This is a great private gym. Personalized attention, collegial atmosphere without pressure or pompous self-important workout freaks."
"Excellent assessments and guidance regarding flexibility, strengthening and re-wiring muscle mechanics. They peel things back all the way down to the lizard brain."
Craig M.
The team is made up of experts in their fields. The can identify issues and corrections very quickly and very accurately. The recommendations and therapy/coaching is incredible and effective.
Greg L.
Keith H.
A nice balance with mobility, strengthening, and cardio workout and seems to get all three into a one hour workout. Very positive and encouraging. They let you know when you are making progress and don't let you get away with poor mechanics.
Excellent training facility. My first visit was over two years ago to rehab a rib injury. I decided to stick with twice weekly visits when I realized that the strength training I was doing 2x a week was having a positive impact on my running, cycling and mountain biking.
Kathy H.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, comfortable atmosphere. Much more than just 'corrective exercise'!
Megan S.
Perfect. Work I needed was first analyzed, and is continually reviewed by the way my body responds to various exercises. Produces a subtle, effective exercise program that teaches form first. It is a rigorous program that is sane, subtle and effective. I feel 20 years younger because my body now works efficiently.
Mary L.
If you want your aches and pains to disappear and develop strength and flexibility for the activities you want to perform your best, this is the place. Great one on one training using the very best techniques tailored for your personal situation.
Brad S.
Exceptional staff. Highly tailored fitness program.
Rochelle B.
These trainers are the best. I am working around injuries, and they can spot my weaknesses and help correct them. They do make you do the exercises right, which is annoying when it's happening, but I'm always happy once the session's done. And I always come back for more.
Steve G.
Most effective and cutting edge gym I have ever experienced. The training I have received helps me, my family and friends return to sports (skiing, golf, swimming, running) after surgeries, injuries and various aches and pains. Better results than from licensed physical therapists. Professional people and facility. Your best bet for full recovery and fitness in the Twin Cities.
Ruth O.
giving you the mobility you want and movement for life

The Early Literacy Task Force of the Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting free family Not a Box Parties this summer in neighborhood parks from 3 to 5 pm. The next events will be on Saturday, July 16, at S.T. Morrison Park in Coralville and on Saturday, August 13 at Wetherby Park in Iowa City.
This is a free, all-ages event. The party will begin with a reading of "Not a Box" by Antionette Portis, a story about imagination and creativity in which a young rabbit's imagination frees him from the constraints that he has just-a-box, but rather that it can be anything he wants it to be. The children (and adults) will then have an opportunity to let their imaginations run free and construct whatever they can imagine. There will be vast amounts of cardboard boxes and tape available as well as volunteers to assist and supervise. Snacks will be provided and at the end of the event at least 85 families will receive their own copy of "Not a Box" to take home with them. All children will have an opportunity to choose a free book to take home.
Participating organizations include 4Cs Community Coordinated Child Care, Antelope Lending Library, Iowa Children's Museum, Iowa City Public Library, Johnson County Empowerment/ECIA, Strive For Success, Iowa City Community School District, NCS Pearson, United Way of Johnson & Washington Counties, Westergaard, LLC, and Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce along with generous donations of materials from General Mills.

PREVIEW (September 8, 2017) – The Houston Dynamo are scheduled to play their first game since Hurricane Harvey made landfall tomorrow. They will host the Colorado Rapids at 7:30 PM CST at BBVA Compass Stadium. This will be a battle of emotions and more than soccer for both sides.
Houston Dynamo vs Colorado Rapids Preview: A Match Of Emotions
Houston are in a playoff position in September for the first time in months. They've only won one of their last five games though, and they'll be playing for more than themselves tomorrow.
On the other side, the Rapids are bottom of the Western Conference and have lost four in a row. They're still recovering from a coach firing a few weeks ago. They're building for 2018 at this point.
From The Houston Perspective And #HoustonStrong:
The Dynamo are having a bounce back season in their first year under Head Coach Wilmer Cabrera. They're in the playoff hunt and have several young exciting attacking players. Houston will be playing with heavy hearts though, as much of the city and residents are still recovering from the destruction of Hurricane Harvey. Water levels haven't full receded and many residents are still without utilities and critical supplies.
The country and the sports community as a whole have come together to support the people of Houston, including the Rapids. Erik Torres and company have a chance to provide a much needed distraction from the reality of the situation. They need a win to stay above the red line, but even more so, they need a win to lift the spirits of the city.
From The Rapids Perspective:
The Rapids have lost four in a row. They have not won a game since their July 1st match (against the Houston Dynamo). Interim Head Coach Steve Cooke has helped the offense with his 4-3-3, but it just hasn't been good enough. This is a struggling team who have had a disappointing season. It is going to take a miracle for them to make the playoffs. That miracle is going to have to start this weekend (and will probably be several weeks late).
At worst, this season is about building for 2018. Much of the roster could be playing for their jobs down the stretch. The Rapids Way is likely to undergo a serious makeover this off-season. The offense will need to show a heartbeat in this game. Houston will be playing for the city while Colorado might be playing for their livelihoods.
Last Word:
Houston have been one of the best teams at home in MLS. Colorado on the other side are one of just two teams who have not won a road game in league play. On paper, this looks like an easy Dynamo win against a team that's a wounded animal. Emotions change things up though. Dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey could be a distraction. It could be further motivation for the club. How they use those feels will be key.


text: This session had so many things going against it…a storm was brewing which meant no light, droplets of rain were falling on us, the wind was blowing like CRAZY and all but one balloon popped long before we even got to use them! Then mom couldn't find her keys…all that and yet this pretty little birthday girl shined on! I'd say these are the gems from our rough night! Because of the storm we had to cut this one a little short, I can't wait to do part #2!

The three-dimensional structure of the Sabin strain of type 3 poliovirus has been determined at 2.4 A resolution. Significant structural differences with the Mahoney strain of type 1 poliovirus are confined to loops and terminal extensions of the capsid proteins, occur in all of the major antigenic sites of the virion and typically involve insertions, deletions or the replacement of prolines. Several newly identified components of the structure participate in assembly-dependent interactions which are relevant to the biologically important processes of viral assembly and uncoating. These include two sites of lipid substitution, two putative nucleotides and a beta sheet formed by the N-termini of capsid proteins VP4 and VP1. The structure provides an explanation for the temperature sensitive phenotype of the P3/Sabin strain. Amino acids that regulate temperature sensitivity in type 3 poliovirus are located in the interfaces between promoters, in the binding site for a lipid substituent and in an assembly-dependent extended beta sheet that stabilizes the association of pentamers. Several lines of evidence indicate that these structural components also control conformational transitions at various stages of the viral life cycle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katy from Very nice product, great fastener option I bought these covers for oversized rocking chairs to replace a less expensive, lighter version from another company. Duck Covers are much heavier and do not blow around so much in the storms, and definitely shed the water! I always had pooling on the seat cushion, but now it just sheds off. Also, the covers include four fasteners that snap around the legs, no more ties. Very nice. I am extremely pleased with the fabric and quality.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Minnesota from Good cover but don't last I bought duck covers for my patio furniture 3 summers ago. I get pretty much full sun on my deck during the summer. In the fall/winter I store my furniture (covered) in a 3 season porch, out of the elements. Over the years and exposure, the covers discolored and the fabric became very rigid. When I took my furniture out this summer (2020) the loveseat cover ripped and the two chair covers had tears in them that were starting. I reached out to the company and they replaced the loveseat cover but I soon found that all pieces needed to be replaced so I bought 2 new chair covers. I had hoped the product would last more than 3 summers, especially since I removed them from the winter elements every year. Very satisfied with customer service and the replacement piece but not happy if I have to replace my covers every few years.

this week, we've been talking about closet essentials and classic style here at style at a certain age. and i would be remiss if i didn't include a head-to-toe black ensemble. to be certain, every woman should own a lbd. but the same holds true for an lbj. what's that you ask? why, that would the quintessential black jacket that can take you anywhere. today, i'm partnering with christopher and banks and wearing their modern zip-front jacket that seamlessly transitions from desk to dinner. it's made of ponte knit which is an absolute dream to wear. and i've popped the jacket over a long tunic and their signature slimming ponte pants. i'm particularly loving the tapered leg and hidden tummy-slimming panel. tonight, i'm headed out for cocktails with mr. style so i added a few fun accessories to jazz things up. don't forget a bold lip and high heels bring instant glamor to any outfit. but if i wanted to keep this ootd looking easy and breezy and office appropriate i'd exchange the heels for flats, tuck in the tunic, and slip on a black belt. now how easy is that? for now, it's all about evening glam and a nice glass of cabernet.

Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder Review – Is It The Best?
Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder
Editor Rating
If you like to rise and shine every day with a cup of coffee, and have your beans ground quickly, efficiently with just the right proportion of fineness, then Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder is an ideal addition to your home coffee making setup.
Rancilio is the most commendable brand in my whole family. This Italian-made stylish grinder with solid construction and remarkable performance offers you all the control you need for a perfect grind. It uses high-end coffee-grinding technology and hence, preserves the maximum aroma giving you the original taste of the coffee beans. Its price is fairly reasonable for the excellent features and optimal functioning.
Features & Functionality Of Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder
Rancilio is one of the most popular brands in commercial quality coffee making machines and grinders. The SD model reviewed today is a doserless version of the Rancilio Rocky burr grinder. Let's have a look at other significant features of this wonderful machine.
Design and Construction
The overall design of this electric burr grinder is sleek, elegant and heavy duty. From a construction perspective, I found this model quite sturdy and easy to assemble, manage and operate. The back is made of stainless steel while the front is made from black metal, enhancing its durability.
The 50mm flat stainless steel burrs of commercial grade, with a powerful motor of 166-watts direct drive (spins at 1,725 RPM), generate less friction and prevent heat build-up while grinding. This means it will not burn your beans even when grinding for a long time.
Dimensions & Weight
This doserless grinder weighs 15.4 pounds with the dimensions of 9.8 x 4.7 x 13.8 inches. You can easily place it anywhere in your home, office or shop counter. However, I wouldn't recommend it for small kitchens.
Multiple Grind Settings
Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder offers 55 ways to grind without producing extra heat during the process.
Bean Hopper Capacity
The grinder comes with a compact bean hopper. This blue tinted hopper gives your beans UV protection. It can easily hold up to a half pound (8 oz.) of beans, and lifts off for stress-free and easy cleaning.
Benefits of Using Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder
A buyer always pays for the benefits of a product. This electric burr coffee grinder will give you the ease of use along with the advantages enlisted below, which no other, less expensive girder can provide.
- This grinder provides all coffee brewing styles from French Press all the way down to espresso.
- It is compatible with a lot of coffee machines and offers you a range grinds for different types of coffee.
- Its compact hopper, made of blue-tinted plastic protects the coffee beans from ultraviolet rays.
- The push buttons and the grind dial allow for smooth operation.
- High quality smoked plastic is used in the manufacturing of chute/dispensing beak and the bean hopper.
- Its heavy duty motor will not slow down even if it under the most demanding workload.
- You can easily see through the transparent hopper, though it's tinted, and monitor the level of beans added to it.
- The effortless removal of the hopper and burrs provides makes cleaning and maintenance simple.
- The button release system fixed on the grinder's collar is easy to use.
- The grind dial and ultra-fine threading of burrs allow you to enjoy a great versatility of grinds - from espresso to French press, and all types in between.
- It has a thermal protection device installed that shuts it down upon overheating, and prevents damage to the motor and grinding mechanism.
- Durable with great functional reliability
- Well-designed and sleek looking
- User-friendly with simple controls
- Grinding abilities are second to none
- Easy adjustment for any type of grind.
- Incredibly easy to access the burrs
- Offers quiet and cool operation
- 2 Year Limited Warranty
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Some coffee grinds may get left behind in the hopper and chamber. This is very common in almost all types of grinders (economical and expensive), and isn't anything to worry about.
- While grinding, you may not be able to change the grind adjustment to finer or coarser settings. It's pretty difficult. So, always set the preferred grind in the first place, or you may need a second hand to help you with it.
Tips To Consider While Using Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder
- If it shoots too slow, say more than 20 seconds, you will get an extremely fine grind. Adjust it to a bigger grind number on the dial.
- If it shots too fast (less than 18 seconds) then your grind will be too coarse. This means you need to adjust the grind to a smaller number.
The Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky Grinder is for coffee lovers with an open budget. This best quality grinder with premium features and excellent performance is a remarkable choice both for private and commercial use. If you are looking for better control over grinding this might be the right choice for you.

Cancer Awareness and Support the Pink Fund
● Ford Warriors in Pink® debuts limited-edition T-shirt inspired by actor James Denton and available at www.fordcares.com, with all proceeds from sales benefiting the Pink Fund
● The Pink Fund is an organization that provides short-term financial aid to people during active treatment – giving them time to fight, heal and get back on their feet
● The limited-edition T-shirt, along with the full 2012 Warriors in Pink collection, is now available at www.fordcares.com , with 100 percent of net proceeds going directly to the fight against breast cancer
Ford Warriors in Pink®, the Ford Motor Company program that raises awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer, has created a limited-edition T-shirt inspired by film and television actor and supporter in the fight against breast cancer James Denton. For every shirt sold, 100 percent of net proceeds go directly to the Pink Fund, providing real help now.
"The last thing someone with breast cancer needs to worry about is how they are going to pay their bills," says Denton. "With the muscle of Ford Warriors in Pink behind the Pink Fund, we think we can really accomplish something for people."
The dark gray, V-neck T-shirt inspired by Denton showcases symbols of a warrior and illustrates the fight that it takes to battle the disease. Available now, exclusively at www.fordcares.com, consumers can buy this limited-edition T-shirt to support the Pink Fund. Newly added as a charity partner to Ford Warriors in Pink, the Pink Fund is an organization that provides short-term financial aid to people during active treatment – giving them time to fight, heal and get back on their feet.
"The burden of a cancer diagnosis is devastating, not only physically and emotionally, but financially. Every day, countless patients and their families struggle to make ends meet as medical, car, household and other bills pile up," said Pink Fund founder Molly MacDonald. "We're excited about this collaboration with James and Warriors in Pink on this limited-edition T-shirt, as it will allow us to reach even more people in need."
The T-shirt, along with the 2012 collection of Ford Warriors in Pink apparel and accessories, is created for women, men and children, featuring symbols of hope, strength and unity in the fight against breast cancer. The 2012 Ford Warriors in Pink collection is now available at www.fordcares.com, with 100 percent of net proceeds going directly to the fight against breast cancer.
"Warriors in Pink is all about the courage and strength it takes to fight this disease," said Tracy Magee, Ford Primary Brand Experiential Marketing manager. "We are thrilled to be working with James Denton and the Pink Fund, as this partnership is just one more way for us to raise awareness and continue the fight."
The Ford commitment runs well beyond raising funds. The company is dedicated to making a difference 365 days a year by encouraging women to become informed and visit their doctors, educating them that early detection saves lives. 2012 marks Ford Motor Company's 18th year of support, having dedicated more than $115 million to the cause to date.
About the Pink Fund
The Pink Fund provides short-term financial aid through direct bill payment on behalf of women and men in active breast cancer treatment who have lost all or part of their income as a result of their treatment protocol. The most frequent need is for coverage of mortgage/rent, utilities, insurance policies and automobile loans.
Founded in 2006, the Pink Fund is governed by a volunteer board of directors, and assisted by an advisory council. Supporting organizations, businesses, and individuals host special events and fundraisers throughout the year. The Pink Fund coined the term SurThrivor™ and has created a branded line of SurThrivor™ products to promote the mission and support the organization.
