Employee vs contractor. When it comes to pay, taxes, and employee benefits worker classification matters.
On July 15th, the Department of Labor (DOL) issued an administrator's interpretation emphasizing the importance of worker classification and clarifying the difference between employees and independent contractors.
New DOL Clarification on Independent Contractors
The recent DOL interpretation (Administrator's Interpretation No. 2015-1) is significant because it clarifies the difference between an employee and contractor.
To summarize, the DOL emphasizes that:
Under the FLSA, most workers are employees.
The primary approach to determining whether a worker is an employee or a contractor is the "economic realities" test, explained below.
An employer's exertion of control over the tasks performed by the worker is less important.
The DOL will continue to aggressively examine the classification of workers as contractors.

Employee vs Contractor - Economic Realities Test
The economic realities test looks at whether the worker is economically dependent on the employer or in business for him or herself.
To conduct an economic realities test an employer should look at six factors:
The extent to which the work performed is an integral part of the employer's business.
The worker's opportunity for profit or loss depending on his or managerial skill.
The extent of the relative investments of the employer and the worker.
Whether the work performed requires special skills and initiative.
The permanency of the relationship.
The degree of control exercised or retained by the employer.

If your small business uses independent contractors, or you are considering going this route, it is important to make sure you are classifying workers correctly.
Under new guidance, the DOL has stressed that most work should be performed by employees. Additionally, more emphasis is being placed on the economic realities test.
What questions do you have about the difference between employees and contractors? Leave a question below.

Bristol's The Down's Festival 2018 Promises to Be the Best Yet
Bristol plays host to many great festivals and events throughout the year, and one of the top choices for music lovers is The Down's Festival. Last year's headliners included Elbow and Roni Size, but this year we've really seen organisers push the boat out to arrange the festival's biggest line-up to date.
The Down's Festival 2018 presents a killer line-up which features these headliners:
- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
- Paul Weller
- Orbital
- Goldie & The Ensemble
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Paul Weller will be on the main Downs stage, whose line-up also features The Heavy, Houston trio Khruangbin, Nadine Shah, and Dream Wife. If you're more in the mood for live sets from electronic legends, Orbital will headline the Avon stage, which is also set to feature performances from producer/DJ Goldie and the Heritage Ensemble, Basement Jaxx, Channel One reggae soundsystem, and Laid Blak.
In the words of Paul Weller: ""It's gonna be great to play on The Downs, we always have a great crowd in Bristol, see you there!"
Of course, there's more than just music. Discussion and debate has always been a major part of The Down's, and 2018 should be no different. We can expect the return of The Information Stage – head there to listen to key note speakers address issues affecting UK society. Last year's key note was film director Ken Loach.
As ever, the event will take place at Bristol's Clifton Downs, and this year's will be coming on Saturday 1st September.
Organisers seem just as pumped as we are: "2017 was a great year for the festival and our 2018 line-up features some of the best live acts around. We know there'll be a huge amount of interest in seeing Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller live in Bristol. Noel has never headlined a show in Bristol so we are really excited to bring him and his band to the city, and I think we've got the best line up we've had so far at The Downs."
There are many accommodation options available to festival goers this year, from swish hotels to self-catered apartments.

I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Or rather, I was born with a British accent in my mouth. Actually, to be honest, I wasn't born with the accent, I developed it while spending my formative years at a British boarding school. So I lied. But that's the point: here in America, it doesn't really matter whether I'm telling the truth. When I speak, most Americans believe me. And it's all thanks to my British accent.
Americans have always been suckers for an accent, none more so than a British one. If I had a dime for every time a Yank has told me that I should play mine up, because "chicks dig it," I'd have, well, quite a few pounds sterling. But it's the assumed wisdom of my words that never ceases to astound me. Once when I was in college, a friend actually pulled me out of a conversation I was having with some other students. "Malcolm," she whispered, "From now on, you really have to preface everything you say with 'I believe' or 'I think.' " Apparently, my peers took my wacky drunken theories as gospel, simply because of my accent.
This acceptance of all things said in British translates elsewhere. Why do Americans love Tony Blair, ask friends back home? Because he seems so smart--because he speaks proper. Brits also get away with murder--or at least adulterous solicitation--here. The fact that Hugh Grant was busted with an L.A. hooker didn't matter to a lot of people, says one friend of mine. He had that accent, so the Yanks still thought he was "cute."
This is all quite liberating for us Brits. I can sprinkle my conversation with relatively vulgar Anglicisms like "wanker," "bugger" or "tosser" and still get the same response from American women--"That is sooo cute!" (Who cares what it means?) If I tell a joke in British, people will often laugh even if they don't get it--they know that Brit equals wit.
What I love most, though, is that there really is no such thing as a British accent. The queen speaks her way, Brummies theirs, a Mancunian sounds nothing like a Liverpudlian, and Geordies sound more West Indian than West Country. It's said that in one Yorkshire town, two very distinct tongues are separated only by the main road. Britain, according to linguists, has one of the most diverse dialect pools on earth. And Americans simply can't get their heads around this. To them, traditional BBC English is British.
Actually, I must confess, I lied again in that last paragraph. What I really love most is that even though I've lived here for nine years running now and my accent has faded to the point of no return, I can still play off my speech. Unless I am introduced as British, many Americans don't even assume I am anymore. (Particularly if they know someone with a "real" British accent.) But, detecting just a hint of Brit, or noting a peculiar expression I use, they often ask me if I'm from "somewhere weird--like Canada?" I've actually found that being a mystery is far more fun. At a party recently, I decided to revisit a joke I used to play when I had a strong boarding-school accent and clueless Americans still asked me where I was so obviously from. Intrigued by my peculiar patter, a young lady took the bait.
"You sound... You have an accent... Where are you--?"
"China, dahling," I informed her, in my best impersonation of BBC English.
"Really, how interesting," she replied, without a hint of sarcasm.
By Jove, I thought. I've still got it.

What's My Legends Ridge Home Worth? April 2016
- Properties active on the market: 3
- Single-family properties closed in April: 4
- Average sales price: $1,090,000
- Average list price: $1,129,975
- Sales price to list price ratio: 96.5%
- Average days on the market: 107
- Legends Ridge absorption rate: .8 months of inventory (a normal or steady market would be 5-7 months; anything under 5 months of inventory is considered a seller's market, above 7 months is considered a buyer's market).
Legends Ridge is experiencing an extreme seller's market. While the sales price to list price ratio is low and the average days on the market are high, inventory remains low. Given that this segment of the market is seeing more activity, now may be a good time to list your Legends Ridge home.
Pricing your home right from the beginning will be the key to a quick sale. Homes that linger on the market usually sell for less.
Wondering what your Legends Ridge home is worth? Just click the photo below and you will receive your home valuation instantly. No more forms to fill out and then wait for a response. You receive the report in seconds. Keep in mind, this report will not take into account custom features you may have added to your home but it will give you a price range of homes that have recently sold.
A recent National Association of REALTORS® survey revealed that 92% of buyers begin their home search on the internet. Properties heavily marketed here have a greater opportunity to be found by home buyers. This goes way beyond just syndicating your home from the MLS to portal websites.
Because so many buyers are beginning their search online, photography has become an important marketing tool in selling your Legends Ridge home. The best way to showcase your home is through the use of professional photography. While the majority of listing agents will use professional photography, what they do with these photos is equally important.
The internet has become the first showing. Your home is marketed here 24/7/365. You want your listing photos to be used to attract buyers to your home. This goes beyond creating a fancy brochure that does nothing but lay in your house until buyers view it. Marketing today must be proactive, not passive.
We blast photos of your home all over the internet; using the newest technology to get the word out about your Legends Ridge home. This includes the use of social media and blogging, something not many listing agents in the Franklin housing market are doing.
You probably found this post because of our online dominance for the Legends Ridge neighborhood. We can do the same thing for you when marketing your home.
Franklin Homes Realty LLC creates a single-property website. This site is used in all our social media and blogging venues. It is optimized to be found in the search engines. For example, this single-property website created for 403 Letitia Drive can still be found in the search engines.
Go ahead, Google 403 Letitia Drive, Franklin, you'll see it's still on page one of Google even though that house sold last year.
We began promoting 403 Letitia Drive before it was even listed in the MLS. It sold in just 16 days for 100.6% of list price. That's the type of marketing you want for your Legends Ridge home.
Given recent changes to the way our MLS sends out listing information to portal websites, it's important to have an agent who really understands how to aggressively market your home on the internet. Not all agents are created equal. You will find some agents have no internet presence at all. These agents hope their listings will be sold to local buyers. We give our luxury sellers the opportunity to be found by a global market; buyers relocating to the Franklin area.
Buyers are searching for key features that your home may have. Unfortunately, the multiple listing service (MLS) has a limited amount of space to promote your property. It's hard to convey all the features your home has with 250 characters. That's right, 250 letters. That's not much longer than a tweet.
Using qualifiers like hardwood floors, granite counters and stainless steel appliances to attract buyers no longer applies. Every home in Legends Ridge has these features. You want to bring attention to the features that make your home unique. That's difficult to do through our MLS only.
You want to bring attention to things like your fabulous media room, wine cellar or Gunite swimming pool. These are just a few of the features luxury home buyers desire. If you don't have an agent who uses marketing methods to attract these buyers, your home may linger on the market and sell for less.
Blogging about your Legends Ridge home's features brings that information directly to buyers in search of a home just like yours; no matter where they are in the country. Many out-of-state buyers find us from our internet content about our listings and the Franklin area in general.
Additionally, our photographer will record a video tour of your home. This is not a slideshow of photos commonly used by other agents. There's a difference. If your home has a fabulous outdoor area with special lighting or fireplace, we'll do a twilight shoot as well. We want your house to stand out from the competition. Producing a wide variety of media gets buyers in the door.
Not convinced Franklin Homes Realty LLC leads the pack in internet dominance for Franklin? Let me Google that for you. As you can see from the results, our website www.FranklinTNHomesforSaleOnline.com ranks in several places on the first page of Google. We are the only local real estate company to do that. The rest of the spots are taken by portal websites and national brokerages.
This placement isn't due to ads. The only way to rank in these spots is being recognized as an authority by Google in Franklin TN real estate. That is a very difficult thing to do for any brokerage, let alone, an independent brokerage like Franklin Homes Realty LLC.
Curious how we do this? When you get ready to sell your Legends Ridge home, contact Tammie White of Franklin Homes Realty LLC at (615) 495-0752. I'd be happy to share how we can do this for you.

OK, so now I have the time and energy to write this. You may have seen some bloggers whom I met up a couple of weeks ago talking about this cake, or the lemongrass cake.. This is it!. It is quite a lengthy one. I am usually not so long-winded. But sometimes, I am. Haha! Well, there are times where I try to be all ambitious and super experimental and work on recipes or cakes which I don't know if it will work or not. It's like a gamble. But I'm lucky enough, most of the times, it worked. Not a 100% but at least the flavours are quite there.
Similar to this cake, after Emeraude, the pistachio, raspberry and white chocolate cake, I wanted to make another entremet. I try to pick a flavour, then work around it to come up with matching flavours and components. The 'sorta' selected flavour was lemongrass. I am quite addicted to lemongrass, especially when it's cold. So I knew, it'd be a great component in the cake.
Now, lemongrass equals tropical, exotic fruits and the likes. So then some ideas start coming out. Passionfruit ? mango ? pineapple ? white chocolate? lime? coconut ? Yup, then I started to build the components and layers, on which should be the cake, or creme or gelee. Memory caught me. I did quite a similar cake during my days in Le Cordon Bleu.
Ok, so it's quite similar to what I had in mind. Long story short, soon there after, I came up with these components for the entremet.
a. Coconut Lime Dacquoise
b. Passionfruit and Mango Bavarian Cream
c. Tropical fruits gelee, which includes pineapple, mango, and banana.
d. Lemongrass Bavarian Cream
e. White chocolate ganache
Here comes the difficult part. The recipes. For some, I can't find exactly the recipe that I want, so basically it's just a try-n-error kinda thing. Like, cut this change that replace it use this not that. Especially for the lemongrass cream. Not exactly cool but it's worth a gamble. After all, it isn't calledan experiment for no reason 😉
You might wanna take a few deep breath if you intend to read the recipe and method. Hahaha. My instructions are quite brief. It's gonna take a whole day if I go in very very detailed. If you have any queries on certain steps, just ask me.
(makes a 6″ square)
Mango Compote Gelee
30ml orange juice
10ml lime juice
20g light brown sugar
90g pineapple
90g mango
50g banana
2 tsp powdered gelatin
Coconut Lime Dacquoise
94g egg white
30g caster sugar
16g almond meal
77g icing sugar
60g grated coconut *I used very freshly grated coconut*
16g flour
zest of 1 key lime
pinch of salt
Passionfruit Mango Bavarian Cream
2.5 tsp powdered gelatin
110g milk
35g caster sugar (A)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
40g egg yolk
35g caster sugar (B)
110g passionfruit pulp
60g mango puree
120g whipped cream
Lemongrass Bavarian Cream
1.5 tsp powdered gelatin
70ml milk
15g caster sugar (A)
20g yolk
15g caster sugar (B)
70g whipped cream
2 stalks lemongrass
White Chocolate Ganache
100ml cream
75g white chocolate, buttons or chopped
1. Make mango compote gelee. Cover gelatin with 2 tsp cold water, let it bloom. Dice fruits with the dimension of 5mm x 5mm x 5mm if possible. In a pot, put in all the ingredients except for the gelatin and bring to a boil of 5-7 minutes. Make sure sugar has dissolved. Melt gelatin in a microwave for 30 secs twice. Add into the fruits, stir and pour out onto a lined pan. Chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours, or till it has set.
2. Make coconut lime dacquoise. If you can get freshly grated coconut, it's good, but if you can't, dessicated may work as well. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites till foamy. Gradually add in caster sugar and whisk till medium-stiff peaks. Fold in almond meal, icing sugar, grated coconut, lime zest, flour and salt into the meringue in a few batches. Pour onto a lined baking sheet or Silpat and bake for 20 minutes at 160 C. Remove and cut to desired size.
3. Make passionfruit mango bavarian cream. Soak gelatin with 3 tsp cold water and set aside. Puree passionfruit pulp and mango till smooth. Blending the seeds are optional. I absent-mindedly blended the passionfruit seeds, hence I had ALOT of black speckles. If you're as silly as me, you'll need to pass the puree through a sieve a few times to remove as much seeds as possible. Whip cream to medium peaks, set aside in the fridge. In a pot, put milk, sugar (A) and vanilla to a boil. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks and caster sugar (B). When (A) comes to a boil, gradually pour into the egg yolk mixture and whisk while doing so. Return mixture to pot and cook for a further couple more minutes till mixture has thickened. Remove from heat, add in passionfruit and mango puree. Heat up / melt gelatin in the microwave for 30 seconds twice (or till gelatin has fully dissolved) and stir into the mixture. Strain the mixture and set over an ice bath to bring the temperature down. Fold in whipped cream.
4. Make lemongrass bavarian cream. Soak gelatin with 2 tsp cold water and set aside. Whip cream to medium peaks, set aside in the fridge. Bruise the white part of the lemongrass and cut in shorter lengths. In a pot, put milk, sugar (A) and lemongrass to a boil. Turn off heat. Cover and let it infuse for 15 minutes. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks and caster sugar (B). Bring the lemongrass mixture to a boil again, gradually pour into the egg yolk mixture and whisk while doing so. Return mixture to pot and cook for a further couple more minutes till mixture has thickened. Remove from heat. Heat up / melt gelatin in the microwave for 30 seconds twice (or till gelatin has fully dissolved) and stir into the mixture. Strain the mixture, discard leftover lemongrass and set over an ice bath to bring the temperature down. Fold in whipped cream.
5. After everything is assembled, make white chocolate ganache. Bring cream to a light boil. Pour into white chocolate, stir till ganache is completely smooth.
6. Assemble. Get a cake ring, cut dacquoise to required size. You need 3 pieces. of 6″ square. Lay 1st layer down, pour passionfruit and mango bavarian cream ontop. Add a layer of dacquoise, add passionfruit bavarian cream. Lay the mango compote gelee, then top with a layer of dacquoise. FInally, pour lemongrass cream, and let it set in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Make white chocolate ganache and pour over the top. Chill in the fridge for further 3-6 hours.
7. To decorate, cut cubes of mango and top with roasted shredded coconut flakes. Poke in 2 small lemongrass stalks to let the flavours infuse more.
Now, didn't I saw it was a lengthy post? Haha Well, I guess the recipe and method took up most of it Lol. This is the revised recipe from the 1st version. The main problem with the entire cakes was the amount of gelatin used. I didn't use enough of it hence it was quite wobbly. Portions have also been reduced to fit a 6″ square, but there may be a bit extra here n there that could make you a verrine or two, so you can taste test it first, before sending the whole cake out! HAHA
IT is indeed lacking a tad bit of sourness, hence I increased the amount of lime juice in the compote gelee. Everything else tasted well together, except that I got comments that the mango isn't that obvious. I'm thinking maybe it isn't mango season and the mangoes aren't sweet. My favourite part of the cake was the flavour of the dacquoise. And gathering from the comments of those who ate, this cake is like a few courses of desserts in the mouth. When you first bite it, the obvious taste would be white chocolate, then goes on to some coconut bits, passionfruit, maybe some pineapple, lastly after you swallow the cake, the lemongrass flavour comes alive, giving it a refreshing after taste, which was what I was trying to achieve.
This was the cake that I did before in LCB.It's a tropical based gateau made from a coconut mousse with poached fruits, hazelnut coconut sponge, mango jelly, joconde sponge and a passionfruit ganache. Quite similar..

Ya, ya! For me, what stood out the most was the lemongrass Bavarian cream! In fact, I think that's my fave part of all. In fact, I remember hearing Sonia, Wendy and Reese all raved about the lemongrass part … Shiok! Sorry that I had to rush myself to eat up your cake. HAHA!
Eh, no lar … I wouldn't call this lengthy. This is what I'd call concise instead. You didn't speak nonsense, did you? No! You went straight to the point but then had to go lengthier than usual due to the complex nature of this entremets of yours. Don't worry! (Oops, did I say that again!!?? HAHA!)
Buddy, thank you so much for the dessert! Mine were like nothing compared to yours. Shame shame … LOL! I shouldn't have used mangoes in mine, too! ARGH!!!
Wow , there are many steps huh. I think I need to find one totally free day then only can try this yummy cake. But I definitely will try it. Thanks so much of sharing this recipe.
Wow! That is a lot of work! The cake looks so delectable and thanks for sharing the recipe.
hi swee san, after going thru this post of yours, it tells me that you are not an ordinary baker and i actually went to your 'about' to know a little about you. yeah, it's my first time reading that..what a shame!Though sometimes i like someone's blog, i just forgot to read the little info about themselves. So you actually conduct classes,wow! and now at least i know how you look like even though that actually shows a poor glimpse of you..what can i say? young, sweet and talented! now back to the cake, this is just awesome..lucky them who got to taste the cake. if i were to make this..not sure if i'm able to complete the cake, let alone understand the theory part of it.
Now, if I ever were to attempt this cake, I'll take only the lemongrass Bavarian cream and the Coconut Lime Dacquoise.
My favourite parts of the cake.
BTW, I have questions regarding the white choc ganache, leave that for tomolo. Hahaha.
Hey Swee San,
The cake looks lovely! Exotic fruits are so ready available in tropical countries like ours and it's cool to put them into such a delicious entremet!
You are truly amazing with your baking skill!
I wish I am lucky enough to taste this cake, I feel like licking the cake from the screen. Such complicated steps of making this cake is not for lazy person like me 😛
For the Mango Compote Gelee can i omit the banana and just increase the other fruit to 115g?
What a spectacular entremet! I'm just beginning to educate myself about pastries and find it mind-boggling that so much can be possible. I had a question:
Where did you acquire the required cake ring/mold from? Was it a 6″ square ring? I've been trying to buy one 🙁
Thank you for your time and your inspiration!
wow this looks amazing!!! is it Hidemi Sugino's?

Improve your food packaging. If you're just starting out in the market and launching your products, ensuring you've got zero errors in your packaging is a must. One way is to find the right packaging supplier. Here are a few tips to help you out.
Knows your brand and identity
Consistency in your packaging and branding is essential. Any disconnect between the two can compromise consumer interest and trust. That's why you'll need to pick a packaging supplier that knows your company, understands what you do, and what your vision is. That company will know what food packaging materials will match your firm and communicate what your brand messaging, The Balance says.
Considers form and function
Shelf appeal is a big thing for many consumers. A lot of consumers buy products with packaging that grabs their attention and interest. It's one way to get them to try your products off the shelves. However, the form is just one detail your supplier must worry about. The function must also be considered. The right supplier will know how to put together packaging that's going to satisfy both. From the food packaging materials used to the size, color, shape, and more, your supplier can design packaging that's a winning combination of form and function.
Provides long-lasting options
It's ideal that your packaging solutions are durable and sturdy. Not only do they need to maintain the freshness and quality of your products, but they must also be durable enough to last in storage. Remember that you'll need to stock up on your packaging. Many companies stock up on packaging and keep them for years. If you plan on doing the same, then your packaging must be strongly constructed.
Improve your packaging solutions to get the attention and buying the interest of your market. Partner up with the right supplier for the best results.

Angel's Kitchen is famous for two things: (1) its homey ambiance and service (it's just as if you're going to a friend's house in Greenhills), and (2) its signature, most-raved about dish: Pinakbet Rice and Lechon Kawali with Chocolate Bagoong. It's a shame that we just ate here last December for the first time.
It is in the same league as Conti's in Las Piñas (now with branches around Manila) and Cookbook Kitchen in Mandaluyong. The restaurant's success can be traced to the wonderful mix of its comfort food using homemade recipes, cozy atmosphere, cheerful service and offerings of a sweet finish with a slice of cake.
Most people would go for the Rice Duo meals, which have a unique twist and combination at an affordable price. I appreciate the fact that the serving size is good for two. Aside from the Pinakbet rice, the Homey, Tinapa Rice with Tocino Barbeque or the Sweet and Hot, Honey Garlic Spareribs with XO Fried Rice sounds interestingly yummy that you would vow to go back to try it.
Melba Chips and Chicken pate with Pistachios
The meal starts with a serving of soft, fresh bread with chicken pate. No matter how many times we asked for a refill, the servers were happy to fulfill our request.
Soft-shell Crab with Mango Poppy Seed Dressing (P278)
The soft-shell crabs were soft enough for Aidan to eat them. (I stay away from them because I cannot imagine eating the whole crab, including its shell.) The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, with the salad dressing yummy enough for us to finish the entire dish.
Angel's Kitchen Menu : Simple Courtesies
Pandenini | Appetizers | Salad | Soup | Pasta | Main Course: Meats | Poultry and Seafoods | Prawns, Laksa, Dory | Rice Duo | Beverages | Beer & Herbal Teas
The kids love bread, and this usually calms them down when they become restless in their seats.
Lamb Curry with Apple Raisin Chutney (P458) A Signature Dish.
We ordered the best-sellers, and the servings are indeed good for two. The curry sauce was not too strong; it had a subdued taste even with a mix of herbs, spices and coconut milk. You need the apple raisin chutney to spice up this meal — a perfect combination. Without it, the lamb curry would taste ordinary.
Original Pinakbet Rice with Lechon Kawali and Chocolate Bagoong. (P388) A Signature Dish.
This famous dish definitely met our expectations. Although the combination's not unique (except for the chocolate on top of the bagoong), the magnified and well-designed presentation was enough to whet our appetite. The chocolate was overpowered by the saltiness of the bagoong and appeared to be just a design. This dish brought back memories of our Ilocos Norte escapade, where we feasted on bagnet and pinakbet comfort food.

I am definitely an amateur as far as Python goes. Not a coder but I do like to learn new stuff. There very well may be an easier way to do this so mess around and see what you can create. I've been playing around trying to add an interface between the BBS and Twitter. Finally figured out how to get it to send tweets out. Here's the initial steps to take
First off, with Mystic, you need to make sure that Python version 2.7 is installed, not 3. Assuming you have installed Python to C:\python27. If you are running the 32 bit version of Mystic you need to have the 32 bit version of Python installed. Add these lines to your environmental variables:
It's important that Mystic be able to find the Python libraries and obviously the executable.
You're going to need the Python module Tweepy in order to get this going as well. From the commandline run "pip install tweepy". If for some reason you have libraries missing or it errors out you can download the package from Pypi here.
Then you need to set up a Twitter app to connect to whatever account you are going to use. I gleamed a lot of useful information from this post over at Raspi.tv. Although the article is specifically written for the RaspberryPi the same steps are taken to create a Twitter app.
Once you have your app created you are going to copy your consumer key, consumer secret, access token and access token secret. You'll need them for your python script. You can also copy over the example script that Raspi.tv has given to test it out from the commandline and fix any errors.
Mystic python scripts use the .mpy extension and they go in your /scripts directory. Copy the body of the script below. Make sure to use an editor like Notepad++ so that you can remove any weird linefeeds and whitespace that may get copied from the web page. Replace the keys with your own. Make sure to leave the quotation marks. Also, update your BBS name to your own as well. I added in the writeln because there is a brief pause and I wanted people to know what it was doing in the background.
import tweepy
import sys
from mystic_bbs import *
consumer_key = 'CONSUMERKEY'
consumer_secret = 'CONSUMERSECRET'
access_token = 'ACCESSTOKEN'
access_token_secret = 'ACCESSTOKENSECRET'
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
thisuser = getuser(0); # read the currently logged in user into thisuser
writeln("|CR|14Please Hold On….Updating Shadowscope Twitter Status! |CR|PA");
api = tweepy.API(auth)
tweet_text = thisuser["handle"] + " has logged into Shadowscope BBS!"
Save this script in your C:\Mystic\scripts directory.
OK. The hard work is finished. Now go into the Mystic Menu editor. I run this script from my prelogin menu so that it's an automatic thing right after you log in. In the existing FIRSTCMD in the prelogin menu (add one if it's not there) insert a command. For the command choose GY for Execute Python Module. For the "Data" just insert the name of your script. In my case it's simply called logintweet. No extension is needed, Mystic will automatically look for logintweet.mpy in the scripts directory. That's it! Now go check your Twitter page and see if there isn't a new tweet from the BBS.
You can access my BBS Twitter page at twitter.com/ShadowscopeBBS and my personal Twitter is twitter.com/rmiles7721, they are both linked all over the place here and widgets for both are on the main page sidebar.
Next project I am going to tackle is a simple interface for twitter that displays the current feed and allows users to send tweets as well. I am almost hesitant about the second part due to the abuse that could happen but I'll do it just because I can. You can always restrict access to that option to trusted users.

Sean Penn can relate to Angelina Jolie.
Both are A-list celebrities and Oscar winners. Both have also gotten deeply involved in humanitarian causes, and yet somehow face criticism for doing so.
In January, the actor brought 11 doctors to Haiti, helping to establish a private relief organization for the earthquake-ravaged nation.
But many cynics out there have argued that Penn ought to avoid such endeavors because they think he's doing it solely for positive PR. Moreover, they find it hypocritical for a star to complain about an injustice… and then return to his mansion.
To these critics, in an interview with CBS News' Sunday Morning, Penn said:
"I haven't had an awful lot of time to pay attention to them. You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah. You know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it."
We love the response.
Why? We wrote a similar defense of Jolie last month, but look: even if you wish to believe that these stars take part in charitable causes simply because it makes them look good (and you have zero evidence to back this up; it's solely a decision to be cynical)… who cares?!?
They still are donating their time and their money. The homeless in Haiti are still better off for their efforts. Aren't these results the most important thing?
In an age in which Snooki and Kim Kardashian are worshiped just because they have big breasts and appear on TV, it's nice to see Penn, Jolie and others actually do something positive with their celebrity. They don't just spout talking points and hollow cliches (hi, Sarah Palin). They take action.
If you choose to attach a hidden agenda to these actions, we don't hope you die from cancer. But we do pity you.

Press Release
China leads the world with alternative payments at the heart of eCommerceMerchants that offer a wide range of payment options best positioned for success in China's increasingly fragmented payments landscape
January 25, 2018
January 25, 2017 – Beijing – China is at the forefront of a global trend toward increasing complexity in the online payments market; this is according to new report from leading payments company Worldpay, Inc. which has found that consumers across China increasingly prefer to pay online via e-wallets, credit cards and bank transfer.
In its annual Global Payments Report, Worldpay found that China's eCommerce market is set to grow by 11% to US$1.55tn by 2021, reinforcing its position as the largest eCommerce market in the world. Alternative payment methods are cementing their place at the heart of online shopping in China – echoing a global trend towards fragmentation in online payments, as options like mobile wallets, pre-paid cards and bank transfers are set to steal market share from more traditional payment methods like credit and debit cards over the next five years.
The Report found that:
- Most consumers prefer to pay with an e-wallet such as Alipay or WeChat Pay. E-wallets now account for 62% market share in China.
- What follows in popularity, are credit cards (10%), bank transfers (8%), and cash on delivery (8%) each in 2017.
- Bank transfers are set to overtake credit cards as the second most popular payment method in China, accounting for 14.2% of all eCommerce market share by 2021.
- Credit cards are set to lose share in China in the next five years, shifting from 9.6% to 7.7%.
- Conversely, debit cards are set to increase from 4.5% to 7.1%.
Globally, eCommerce is set to grow at an average of 11% over the next five years, and the three fastest-growing eCommerce markets are Colombia, Argentina and Nigeria. These "CAN countries" are forecast to lead the world with annual rises in eCommerce of 31%, 30% and 24% respectively.
The report also found that the Latin American eCommerce market* is set to grow at a CAGR of 19% over the next five years, rising from US$59bn today to be worth $118bn in 2021 – the biggest rise of any region1. Argentina is set to become the fastest growing eCommerce market in Latin America, poised to be on par with
Brazil as early as 2024. Credit cards remain the most popular payment method for consumers in 2017, but e-wallets are expected to rise substantially over the next five years, increasing by 18% in Argentina, and more than doubling in Brazil, as more consumers shop on their mobile phone.
Conversely, the EMEA region is set to grow at a rate of 10% in the next five years, and expected to be worth $780bn in 2021 – up from $529bn in 2017. High growth eCommerce markets in EMEA include the UK, which is expected to grow by 9.7% to be worth US$267.7bn in 2021, and Turkey, which is set to grow by 13% CAGR rate to reach US$17bn in 2021.
Meanwhile in South East Asia, Chinese merchants should consider expansion into South Korea and Indonesia. South Korea's eCommerce market is set to grow by 19% CAGR rate to reach US$81bn in 2021, whilst Indonesia's eCommerce market is expected to grow by 23% CAGR rate to be worth US$25bn during the same period.
Tang Kok San, Country Manager for China at Worldpay, commented: "Once again, China is at the forefront of emerging global trends, as consumers here lead the charge in demanding more opportunities to use different payment methods when shopping online. While there are significant variations in how consumers prefer to pay, a constant is that they are shifting away from more traditional options like credit and debit cards, and instead choosing e-wallets and bank transfers."
He continued, "In order to keep up with changing market conditions and respond to varying consumer payment preferences from market to market, online merchants should support a wide range of payment options. By giving online shoppers the chance to pay via their favourite method, businesses will create a consistent, streamlined checkout experience which is capable of converting browsers into buyers and fostering long-term loyalty amongst local and cross-border shoppers."
Worldpay has published a list of guidelines for merchants looking to capitalise on the eCommerce and mCommerce opportunity in China and across the Asia Pacific region:
- One-click ordering: Consumers are more likely to shop more often with companies that save their payment details for one-click ordering. Merchants should provide one-click ordering to make online checkout as seamless as possible – especially via mobile apps.
- Consider the most popular payments methods in each territory, and prioritise those that complement your business model – there is no one-size-fits-all in the Asia-Pacific region so you will need to understand the best options for your company.
- Cross-border trade: Merchants should ensure that they have local acquiring capabilities wherever they have a legal entity; offer a wide range of currencies at checkout; and consider local language customer support in their customers' time zone to deliver a great customer experience.

Crop farming as a risk factor for respiratory symptoms of obstructive lung disease was assessed. Random samples of crop farmers from four European countries were studied following a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire on respiratory symptoms and occupation was administered to determine prevalences, and the roles of the various crops as risk factors for respiratory symptoms were assessed through logistic regression modeling. The 4,793 crop farmers included in the study (response rate: 85.3%) reported the following respiratory symptoms: wheezing (14.9%), asthma (3.3%), nasal allergy (14.4%), chronic phlegm (12.4%), organic dust toxic syndrome (ODTS) (15.2%), and symptoms at work (22.0%). In the multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, sex, smoking, country, and exposure to other plants or livestock, flower growing was a risk factor for asthma (odds ratio [OR] 2.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-3.9) and cultivating oil plants was associated with ODTS (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.3-1.9), symptoms at work (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.2- 1.7), and chronic phlegm (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.6). Working inside greenhouses was a marginal risk factor for asthma (OR 2.1, 95% CI 0.9-4.5). We conclude that flower and oil plant production is associated with increased risk of respiratory symptoms in European crop farmers.

Why Brochure Marketing Is Still Popular In The Digitized World?
Have you ever thought how the finely designed brochures can still contribute to powerful marketing in the technologically advanced world? It's an efficient vehicle for delivering a subtle message to audiences about the services that you offer and the promises your company keeps to the clients. The tangible brochures can deliberately create an effective and strong impact on the target audiences which is no less powerful than advertisements, online marketing, blogging, and other active marketing solutions practiced these days. If you're searching for quick, hassle-free and easy marketing solution, opt for custom brochure printing online where some popular printing service providers can ensure you cost-effective brochure printing services.
Here are some reasons explained why brochures are still so popular marketing tool in the digitized world—
Showcasing your business/brand
The brochures contain brief messages of events, products, services, company, professional service details etc. From education institutes to travel companies- they print brochures. You can also invest in printing brochures for providing a brief message on your products and services. It will surely enable your business value by optimizing branding.
Shouts the brands similar to blogs
Strategically designed brochures with eye-catching template design and crisp content will shout your brand. It's going to work no less than an amazing blog. Even in the era of SEO and Social media marketing, the printed brochures can create magic by pulling more traffic you're intending for selling your packages, products, and events.
A quick message to audiences
Brochures, quite similar to flyers are easily circulated which is why more people can get to know about your business. To reach out to more audience within a brief time, you can trust the brochures. Remember when you visited the last trade fair, travel fair or a job fair where they provided you with a fascinating brochure and how impressed you were? Create the same magic to your audience by offering them brochures.
Depicts any special event, product or service
If you're organizing a special event or about to launch a new product or service, along with taking the several avenues of digital marketing, trust the printed advertisements especially flyers and brochures. It helps incredibly to connect with resourceful connections whether B2B and B2C and supports in developing better networking. In the forthcoming days, you can surely create a successful venture with the growing awareness among audiences.

RealEstate.com took a look at the number of times a team had appeared in the Super Bowl and the real estate prices of homes in their cities. Here is what they had to say about it.
Of the 10 NFL teams that have appeared in the Super Bowl the most, seven are from cities with high median home prices, when compared to the national median home price. The opposite is also true; the 10 teams that have been to the Super Bowl the least, if they have even gone at all, generally come from cities with low median home prices.
Is there a correlation between the real estate prices of the city an NFL team comes from and the number of times that team has been to the Super Bowl?
Did this Correlation Exist in the 2012-2013 NFL Season?
Partially. San Francisco has high real estate prices, but Baltimore does not; its median home price of $168,400 is 22.3 percent lower than the national median. If real estate prices always determined who made it to the big game, teams like the Giants, Seahawks, or even the Raiders would be playing on Feb. 3.
The teams from the cities with higher real estate prices won exactly half of the playoff games they played in. In the quarterfinals, New England and San Francisco advanced while Denver and Seattle were felled. New England then succumbed to defeat in the semifinals, yet San Francisco was able to produce a last-minute victory and advance to the Super Bowl.
Do you think there is a correlation between the two? Who are you rooting for?

Summary: Banks are the financial heart of modern nations, and Europe's are in trouble. One of its greatest, Deutsche Bank, has severe problems. Here Stratfor looks at the perilous state of Europe's banks, looked in a doom loop by their holdings of government bonds.
Can the Eurozone Break Its 'Doom Loop'?
Stratfor, 16 February 2017.
In 2012, Europe's sovereign debt crisis exposed the "doom loop." Created by European banks' tendencies to hold their home government's debt, the vicious cycle, in theory, starts when markets lose faith in a government's ability to pay back its debt, precipitating a sell-off of its bonds. The resulting drop in bond prices would then hit the balance sheets of the banks that still hold those bonds, making them more likely to need a bailout from their governments. This, in turn, could further erode investor confidence, leading to additional sell-offs that damage the banks even more. Despite the danger that banks' practices pose, eurozone regulators have yet to find a way to sever the loop.
In the years since a doom loop nearly led to the eurozone's collapse, authorities have tried (but failed) to break the bond connection between banks and their governments. A German proposal to limit the amount of their own government's debt that banks can hold has been hotly contested by Italy and Spain, since implementing it would cause massive disruptions to their economies. Another German-led measure involved the creation of "bail-in" rules, which were adopted at the start of 2016. They required that a troubled bank's private debtholders absorb its losses first, essentially losing their investment, before government money could be used to bail it out.
National banking sectors most exposed to the debt of their governments.
The sovereign debt crisis that gripped Europe in 2011-12 exposed the existence of a "death loop" created when eurozone banks hold significant percentages of their home government's debt. This can create a vicious circle in which bank insolvency raises the risk of government default, which further damages the banking sector. Today, Italy's banks are the eurozone's biggest holders of their own sovereign debt, making it Europe's riskiest economy. Click to enlarge.
But since mid-2016, rising expectations of a return to inflation have driven investors to sell off their bonds. (Higher inflation reduces the attractiveness of bonds to investors, and bond markets have seen sharp sell-offs across the board over the past few months.) Those expectations have already played out in the eurozone, where the annual inflation rate rose from 0.2 percent in July to 1.8 percent in January. This has encouraged the European Central Bank (ECB) to scale back its bond purchase program, which it uses to stimulate inflation, from 80 billion euros ($85 billion) to 60 billion euros per month. With the ECB providing less support for bond prices, yields (which move in the opposite direction of prices) have risen. Mounting political risk in countries such as France, Italy and Germany has also magnified the sell-off's effects.
Still, European authorities have not stopped searching for ways to correct the doom loop. In January, the European Banking Authority suggested the creation of a Europe-wide "bad bank" that could buy nonperforming loans from EU banks to get them off the banks' balance sheets, thereby improving the sector's financial health. The creation of European safe bonds, or ESBies, has also been gaining traction lately. The eurozone has entered a difficult year, regardless, and some investors are showing more and more doubt in its ability to survive. This is due, in part, because the doom loop between banks and their governments is still intact.

Games, Games and More Games
Just one week ago over 100 people enjoyed playing all sorts of games in Children's Services at the downtown library. We took part in National Game Day @ Your Library. Results of the "What's Your Favorite Game" Poll prove that Monopoly is the number one Fort Wayne favorite. Close behind were Cranium, Chess, Scrabble and Battleship. All of the following received at least one vote each: Candy Land, Sorry, Connect Four, Clue, Boggle, Trouble, The Game of Life, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Trivial Pursuit, Settlers of Catan, Bowling, and Hannah Montana Monopoly. The favorite video game played that day appeared to be Mario Kart.

Ten U.S. sailors detained by Iran were released early Wednesday, officials said.
The sailors — nine men and one woman — were held overnight on Iran's Farsi Island. They were taken into custody Tuesday when their two small U.S. navy riverine vessels drifted into Iranian waters during a training mission.
Iran's Release of 10 U.S. Sailors Heads off International CrisisJan. 13, 201602:32
Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said in a statement Wednesday that the sailors had been released back into international waters following a U.S. apology and clarifications that any incursion was "a mistake."
"The Americans have undertaken not to repeat such mistakes," added the statement, which was read aloud on state TV. "The captured marines were released in international waters under the supervision of the IRGC Navy."
The State Department denied that any apology took place — with spokesman John Kirby saying on Twitter there was "nothing to apologize for" — but welcomed news of the sailors' release.
Secretary of State John Kerry during an address Wednesday morning thanked Iranian authorities for their cooperation and "quick response."
"All indications (were) that our sailors were well taken care of," he said, adding that the U.S. and Iran were able to resolve the situation through diplomatic channels.
"I think we can all imagine how a similar situation might have played out three or four years ago, and in fact, that is a testament to the critical role diplomacy plays in keeping our country safe, secure and strong," Kerry said.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter also said he was "pleased" the sailors were back in U.S. hands, thanking Kerry for his diplomatic efforts to secure their release.
"We appreciate the timely way in which this situation was resolved," he said in a statement which did not address the alleged apology.
The sailors were "safely returned" after departing Iran's Farsi Island at 3:43 a.m. ET aboard the riverine vessels they had been operating when the incident occurred, according to the U.S. Navy.
They were later transferred ashore by Navy aircraft while other sailors took charge of their boats and continued on for Bahrain, the Navy added in a statement.
"There are no indications that the sailors were harmed during their brief detention," the statement said, adding that the circumstances of the incident will be investigated.
The sailors — who were escorted off Farsi Island by Iranian forces — were given medical exams aboard the U.S.S. Anzio before being flown to shore and taken to the American navy base in Bahrain, U.S. military officials told NBC News.
The sailors' release caps a quick, overnight flurry of diplomatic activity after Iran said the boats had entered its waters on Tuesday.
U.S. officials had sprung into action, with Kerry calling his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif in hopes of securing the sailors' freedom.
Iran's Navy chief Gen. Ali Fadavi initially accused the U.S. Navy vessels of demonstrating "unprofessional behavior." However, later Wednesday he said that an investigation showed the American vessels had entered his country's waters due to a mechanical issue — which jibed with what U.S. officials had initially suggested.
"It was not for espionage or other harmful purposes," Fadavi said on state-run TV.
Still, he defended the decision to take the sailors into custody as "necessary measures" given the presence of U.S. forces in the region.
Iranian General: U.S. Boats Showed 'Unprofessional' BehaviorJan. 13, 201601:22
American naval ships routinely navigate the waters of the Persian Gulf near Iranian territory, and their presence there frequently has been a source of tensions between the two nations.
Senior U.S. military commanders criticized Iran last month for its "highly provocative" actions when it fired unguided rockets near U.S. ships, including the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, in the Strait of Hormuz.

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome.
Department of Biochemistry, University of Lausanne, Chemin des Boveresses 155, 1066 Epalinges, Switzerland.
Service type: Knock-in mice
Development of the acute and chronic inflammatory responses known as gout and pseudogout are associated with the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) or calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals, respectively, in joints and periarticular tissues. Although MSU crystals were first identified as the aetiological agent of gout in the eighteenth century and more recently as a 'danger signal' released from dying cells, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying MSU- or CPPD-induced inflammation. Here we show that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-18. Macrophages from mice deficient in various components of the inflammasome such as caspase-1, ASC and NALP3 are defective in crystal-induced IL-1beta activation. Moreover, an impaired neutrophil influx is found in an in vivo model of crystal-induced peritonitis in inflammasome-deficient mice or mice deficient in the IL-1beta receptor (IL-1R). These findings provide insight into the molecular processes underlying the inflammatory conditions of gout and pseudogout, and further support a pivotal role of the inflammasome in several autoinflammatory diseases.View Publication

How Iran Used Drones and Missiles to Stop 5% of the World's Oil Supply
The fact is that defending against these modern weapon systems can be tough—and the failure to be able to defend against them can be quite consequential.
There's a lot of hand-wringing going on in defense circles across the globe over the increasing challenge of armed drones and cruise missiles, especially after the strike on Saudi oil facilities and oil fields earlier this month.
The fact is that defending against these modern weapon systems can be tough—and the failure to be able to defend against them can be quite consequential.
The Sept. 14 strike on the Abqaiq oil facility and Khurais oil field in Saudi Arabia—likely involving Iranian armed drones and cruise missiles—shut down 50% of Saudi Arabia's oil production.
That's 5% of global oil supply.
While it's unclear exactly what happened in the attack at this point in the now international investigation, one thing seems clear: The armed drones and cruise missiles hit their marks unscathed.
How could that be, considering well-armed Saudi Arabia has a number of air- and missile-defense systems available to it to defend against armed drones and cruise missiles?
There are a lot of factors at play here, but one of the obvious challenges to successfully defending against the threat of armed drones and cruise missiles—regardless of who launches them—is the limitations on radars.
Cruise missiles and drones have some distinct advantages that make them uniquely appealing to military planners—and, in some cases, such as the attack on the Saudis, a weapon of choice.
First, drones and cruise missiles can fly low to the earth, hugging the terrain en route to their targets. That essentially allows drones and cruise missiles to "hide" in the topography, making it difficult for opposing ground-based radars to detect them.
Low-level flight can mask the attacker's approach.
Second, these weapons systems, which are often smaller in size than larger conventional aircraft or ballistic missiles, are harder for radar systems to detect due to their smaller radar cross-section.
If you can't see the target, you can't shoot it down.
Third, cruise missiles and armed drones are often mobile, meaning the threat can come from any number of directions. Indeed, cruise missiles can be launched from the ground, from aircraft, and from ships and submerged submarines.
If radar isn't pointed in the right direction at the right time, you won't see the attack coming.
But armed drones and cruise missiles have disadvantages as well. One is that they aren't invincible. Armed drones and cruise missiles have limited range and slower speeds, both of which can limit their effectiveness and increase their vulnerability.
They can be shot down.
Indeed, the Saudis claims to have shot down a number of armed drones (and seemingly, ballistic missiles) of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, launched into Saudi Arabia from Yemen during the ongoing conflict.
It's possible that Saudi air-defense radars may well have been looking to the south toward Yemen, where the drone and missile threat was well-known—and not to the north toward the Persian Gulf, from which an attack wasn't expected.
Armed drones and cruise missiles can effectively and efficiently augment a country's air power and military might, and diversify the threat a potential opponent must defend against. The attack on the Saudis will only make these weapons systems more popular.
Without question, now would be a very good time for the U.S. to take stock of our armed drone and cruise-missile defenses.

Romney, finally, opposes deal
A very careful Romney finally breaks his silence:
As president, my plan would have produced a budget that was cut, capped and balanced – not one that opens the door to higher taxes and puts defense cuts on the table. President Obama's leadership failure has pushed the economy to the brink at the eleventh hour and 59th minute. While I appreciate the extraordinarily difficult situation President Obama's lack of leadership has placed Republican Members of Congress in, I personally cannot support this deal.
Romney has been, to this point, positioning himself for a general election; this statement marks the limits of what he can get away with in the primary.

RECOVERY COVID-19 Oxford Research Blasted for Toxic Dosage: Towards #OxfordGate?
This June 6th, the France-Soir newspaper published an article titled "Recovery: Brexit & "Overdose"" which points at "very high" fatality rates in the Oxford / RECOVERY trials, where over 1,000 patients already lost their lives.
We already analyzed the aborted hydroxychloroquine arm of the RECOVERY trial and that it would have been perfectly possible for the Oxford academics to adopt a more effective treatment protocol, with much lower fatality rates.
A first aspect analyzed by France-Soir is the very high mortality rate of 23.6% in the placebo arm of the RECOVERY trial, which they think may be explained by a very late treatment of the patients.
They also point to the fact that 76% of the patients needed oxygen and to the significant presence of comorbidities.
Professor Raoult also commented on the high mortality rates in the Oxford led clinical trials, describing them as appaling (effroyables).
But where France-Soir puts particular emphasis on is the dosage of hydroxychloroquine: 2400 mg in the first 24 hours.
The authors compare the dosage to what is recommended in the United Kingdom and in France, respectively by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé (ANSM).
In the UK, the recommended maximum daily dosage is about 500 mg; while in France, 6.5 mg per kg per day (example: 490 mg for an 75 kg person) is considered safe for people who are not overweight.
In France, 25 mg per day (i.e. 1875 mg per day for a 75 kg person) is considered unsafe.
The French guidelines indicate as possible effects of such dosage: headache, visual disturbance, cardiovascular collapse, hypokalaemia, rhythm disturbance, conduction disturbance and convulsions, rapidly followed by sudden respiratory and cardiac arrest.
The French guidelines mention that such effects can happen very quickly after ingesting a massive dose, and that emergency treatment must take place very rapidly: gastric lavage, activated charcoal or even symptomatic resuscitation.
It must be stressed that, with such high dosage, it's very likely that patients knew right away if they were getting the excessive dose of hydroxychloroquine or the placebo – which made instantly the very concept of the randomized controlled trial pretty useless.
Oxford Academics Confusing Hydroxychloroquine with Hydroxyquinolines?
The France Soir newspaper interviewed one of the principal researchers of the Oxford RECOVERY trials, Professor Martin Landray, MB ChB, PhD, FRCP, FHEA, FASN, FBPhS, FESC, Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, member of the prestigious Nuffield College in Oxford.
France-Soir asked:
"How did you decide on the dosage of hydroxychloroquine?"
The answer by Professor Martin Landray, is:
"The doses were chosen on the basis of pharmacokinetic modelling and these are in line with the sort of doses that you used for other diseases such as amoebic dysentery."
And the follow-up question by France-Soir may be even more devastating:
"Are there any maximum dosage for HCQ in the UK?"
"I would have to check but it is much larger than the 2400mg, something like six or 10 times that."
" … the HCQ dosage used are not dissimilar to that used, as I said, in for example amoebic dysentery."
The French newspaper interviewed Doctor Christian Perronne, a Professor of Infectious and Tropical Diseases at the Faculty of Medicine Paris-Ile de France-Ouest, who told them:
"It is indeed the first time that I learn that we use hydroxychloroquine in amoebic dysentery, in addition to the dose being super-toxic for humans."
"The classic treatment for colonic amoebiasis is based on a combination of hydroxyquinolines, tiliquinol and tilbroquinol, whose trade name is Intetrix."
"I think they confused hydroxychloroquine with hydroxyquinolines."
"If my assumption is correct, it is incompetence. Most serious is the use of a huge, potentially fatal, dose," added Professor Perronne.
Oxford Academics Not Even Paying Attention to Early Treatment
Despite high mortality rates, and after over 1000 deaths, the Oxford academic did not mention any possibility to use hydroxychloroquine in a different way, in their interview with France-Soir.
Asked by France-Soir: "And HCQ does not work ?", Professor Landry responded
"Yes, we have demonstrated that this drug is no good for this disease whatever one wants to believe. That is what the results say. We do trials in order to understand and to get answers."
"I didn't know the answer yesterday. I do now."
No mention by the Oxford academic, in his interview with France-Soir, of even possibly using hydroxychloroquine for early treatment of COVID-19, like it's done successfully since March at IHU-Marseille, with less than 1% fatality rate, versus 24% in the Oxford trials …

Eagles put undefeated record on line against Cardinals
PHILADELPHIA (4-0) at ARIZONA (2-2)
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. EDT, FOX
BETTING LINE: Eagles by 5 1/2, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
AGAINST THE SPREAD: Eagles 3-1, Cardinals 2-2
SERIES RECORD: Cardinals lead 60-56-5.
LAST MEETING: Cardinals beat Eagles 33-26 on Dec. 20, 2020, in Glendale, Ariz.
LAST WEEK: Eagles beat Jaguars 29-21; Cardinals beat Panthers 26-16
EAGLES DEFENSE: OVERALL (3), RUSH (9), PASS (7), SCORING (9t)
TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL: Eagles plus-8, Cardinals plus-4.
EAGLES PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Jalen Hurts has entered the MVP conversation with four outstanding performances to help the Eagles reach 4-0 for the sixth time in franchise history. Hurts is first in the NFL in yards per attempt (9.1) and ranks fifth in the league in yards passing.
CARDINALS PLAYER TO WATCH: TE Zach Ertz will face his former team nearly a year to the day since the Cardinals acquired him in a midseason trade. Ertz played nine seasons with Philadelphia, where he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and 2018 All-Pro. Ertz caught the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl 52. Ertz has caught 22 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for Arizona this season.
KEY MATCHUP: Hurts will be a good test for the Cardinals defense, which had a bad start in the season opener against the Chiefs, but has been pretty good over the past three weeks. Defensive linemen J.J. Watt and Zach Allen and linebacker Dennis Gardeck all had big plays in last week's win over the Panthers.
KEY INJURIES: The Cardinals had 15 players on Wednesday's injury report. WR A.J. Green (knee) could play after missing last week's game. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said K Matt Prater (right hip) will be out. Philadelphia K Jake Elliott (right ankle) and T Jordan Mailata (shoulder) were among five players who missed Wednesday's practice.
SERIES NOTES: The Cardinals have won 7 of 10 in the series going back to 2005.
STATS AND STUFF: The Cardinals have a 6-0 record against teams from the NFC East during coach Kliff Kingsbury's four seasons. ... Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has a 4-0 record against fellow Oklahoma quarterbacks in the NFL. He's 3-0 against Baker Mayfield and 1-0 against Hurts. ... The Cardinals have just two turnovers through four games, which is tied for tops in the NFL with the Eagles and Cowboys. ... Second-year Arizona LB Zaven Collins has 27 tackles this season, already topping his 25 from his rookie season. ... The Cardinals are 2-0 on the road and 0-2 at home this season. ... The Eagles are the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL. It's the sixth time in franchise history the team has started 4-0 in a season. The most recent was in 2004. ... Hurts' 205 yards rushing are second for all quarterbacks. He leads QBs with four rushing touchdowns. That number is good for third in the NFL. ... Only Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes (.857, 12-2) has a higher QB winner percentage than Hurts (.833, 10-2) since Week 8 in 2021 ... The Eagles rank first in the NFL with 16 sacks this season. ... Philadelphia's Haason Reddick leads the team with 3 1/2 sacks. He played his first four seasons with the Cardinals from 2017-20. Reddick had a career high 12 1/2 sacks with the Cardinals in 2020. ... The Cardinals were the final undefeated team in 2021, starting with a 7-0 record.
FANTASY TIP: Cardinals WR Marquise Brown could be a true WR1 option over the next two games until DeAndre Hopkins returns from his six-game suspension. Brown caught six passes for 88 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. He and Murray were teammates in college at Oklahoma and it's clear they still have some chemistry.
