The park is 321 square kilometers in size and is entirely forested, with some areas covered in bamboo and shrubs. The forest is located in a series of steep slick valleys with ridges and hilltops.

After discovering house music in the late 80s, it became an integral part of my life.
Along with Shep, Lil Louis, MAW, Todd Terry, David Morales, and Junior Vasquez, there was Frankie Knuckles, the godfather of house music.
While it's disputed as to whether he created house — there is no doubt he was one of its earliest proponents and his influence in the genre can still be heard across global dance floors today and likely generations to come.
Frankie was to house music what bees are to honey; That is they both create sweet concoctions that arouse and please the senses.
There are already several tribute sets to the godfather of house music and I can think of no better way to honor the man and his craft than offering up my own in tribute.
Frankie, I'm certain you'll still be spinning in the great clubland in the sky and I hope to be able to catch one of your live sets one day.
And the music plays on…RIP

The occurrence and profile of the preovulatory hypothalamic GnRH surge in relation to plasma profiles of LH and ovarian steroids, i.e. 17-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4), were examined in ovarian intact, freely moving rhesus macaques. Nine monkeys with active ovarian cycles were each fitted with a jugular venous catheter and two push-pull cannulae directed to separate sites within the median eminence (ME). Each female was connected continuously to a tether/ swivel device through which daily blood samples or frequent blood samples and ME perfusates (simultaneously at 10-to 20-min intervals for 18-24 h) were obtained without disturbing the animals. An increment in the plasma E2 level (>150 pg/ml) during the follicular phase (FP) was selected as the preovulatory ovarian signal and served as the index for initiating the ME push-pull perfusion (PPP). Daily increased P4 concentrations of more than 1 ng P4/ml plasma for several consecutive days were consistent with the assumption of ovulation and subsequent formation of a corpus luteum after PPP. A total of 18 PPP trials were completed; each in a fresh ME site. Five of these PPPs were performed during the mid-and late FP (3 were between 6-8 days before and 2 were 4 days before the E2 peak). The remaining 13 PPPs, each of 18-to 24-h duration, were performed between 24 h before and 48 h after the highest daily plasma E2 level, i.e. time zero. Of these 13 PPPs, 2 started within 12 h before (-12 to 0 h), 8 began within 12 h after (012 h), and 3 started between 12-24 h after this peak E2 value. During the FP, mean levels of GnRH and LH were less than 2 pg/ml and 20 ng/ml, respectively. During the periovulatory interval (—24 to 48 h around time zero), the release of hypothalamic GnRH (expressed in picograms per ml) increased to 6.63 ± 2.35 between —12 to 0 h (n = 2), peaked at 20.70 ± 6.09 between 0-12 h (n = 10), declined to 3.25 ± 1.39 between 12-24 h (n = 11), and further declined to 0.89 ± 0.18 between 24-36 h (n = 3). The mean GnRH value from 0-12 h was higher (P < 0.05) than other means (including those during the FP), except for the value between -12 to 0 h. Changes in mean plasma LH values during the same periods paralleled those in GnRH. The highest LH mean occurred between 0-12 h (269.49 ± 72.08 ng/ml), and this value exceeded all other means (P < 0.05). Collectively, these data depict an unambiguous rise and fall in ME GnRH release paralleled in time by a corresponding rise and fall in plasma LH levels and a subsequent increase in daily P4 values of more than 1 ng/ml. These observations support the concept that in naturally cycling primates, ovulation is triggered by a cascade of neuroendocrine events; these culminate in a dramatic release of hypothalamic GnRH, which thereby stimulates gonadotropes to release LH, i.e. the preovulatory surge.

The COVID Racial Data Tracker advocates for, collects, publishes, and analyzes racial data on the pandemic across the United States. It's a collaboration between the COVID Tracking Project and the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research. Together, we're gathering the most complete and up-to-date race and ethnicity data on COVID-19 in the United States. Visit the website at https://covidtracking.com/race We've compiled the race and ethnicity data that states are reporting for several COVID-19 data categories so that other researchers can begin to work with, analyze, and visualize this information. This is a challenging dataset to compile and code. While an increasing number of states and territories are providing race and ethnicity data, that data remains incomplete and inconsistent. We're advocating to change that, and you can, too. Our racial data dashboard provides the latest information on who is providing race and ethnicity data, and how complete it is. Check to see whether your state is reporting this data at all, and for what percentage of cases.

Im pretty much in the "if Lapua dont make it I dont want it" camp. I like accuracy and pressure. Lapua has been the only one that I was satisfied with. I decided to try some ADG 338 Edge cases. I ran them up to an over pressure, 250 grain hybrids at 3250 fps in 28". The bolt popped right open with only a shadow of an ejector mark if you really studied the case. Definitely no shiny spot. I would say these cases are as hard as Lapua, maybe harder. I weighted the cases and got an extreme spread of 1.6 grains in 50 cases. Thats a little more than .5%. I called Tom Mousel to ask how his last batch of 6br cases weighted and they were about 1%, still excellent. Neck thickness variation was about .001", again on par with Lapua. So, buy some ADG brass so they stick around and hopefully add more options to the line. Pretty sure 28 and 30 Nosler are coming, 280ai would be nice too

Huawei to Join Intel's Security Innovation Alliance
On November 4, 2016, Intel Security announced that Huawei would be added to the Intel Security Innovation Alliance. The Alliance is a partnership between a number of technology companies that provides,
…a truly integrated, connected security ecosystem to maximize the value of existing customer investments, improve efficiency, maximize protection, and reduce operating costs.
The purpose, ostensibly, is to allow firms to integrate their security systems and enhance their data analytics capability. According to the announcement, Huawei and Intel Security
…will work to provide 'indicators of compromise data' alerts to McAfee DXL and McAfee TIE, providing dynamic behavior analytics and intelligence sharing to customers.
The addition of Huawei to this cyber-security alliance raises a number of flags due to the Huawei's history of running afoul of the U.S. security community, which has issued repeated warnings concerning the company's ties to the Chinese security community. The U.S., Australian and UK governments have each expressed security concerns over Huawei's ties to the Chinese military.
The UK intelligence agency, GCHQ, inspects Huawei equipment imported into the country at a specialized center, the Cyber Security Evaluation Center, as a means of doing business with the company. And, in May of this year, Canada denied entry visas to a number of Huawei employees over espionage concerns.
In entering the Security Innovation Alliance, Huawei will be exposed to cyber security technologies developed in the U.S. and become part of a cyber security service offered to customers globally. With increased scrutiny of Chinese tech acquisitions globally, this new association could come under some form of official scrutiny.

Reviving the farm economy
The return of migrant workers to their villages offers an opportunity to give agribusiness a leg-up.
For the first time in years, amidst the Covid-19 crisis, the general population in India seem to have become increasingly aware of the importance of the migrant workforce. As per the 2011 census, there were about 56 million interstate migrants in India and a majority of them resided in the big urban centres. If Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh accounted for more than 50% of India's total interstate migrants, then, Maharashtra, Delhi, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana housed 50% of those interstate migrants. These shares are much higher than the share of these states in India's total population. Interestingly, Uttar Pradesh figures in both lists—people left the state for their livelihood as also people who migrated from other states for their livelihood. Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal also account for a large number of interstate migrants.
In recent years, there has been an increasing flow of migrants to Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala on account of greater opportunities in the Southern states. Labour migration theorists argue that wage differentials are not the only motivation for migration; there is also collective decision-making at the household level based primarily on their desire to mitigate risk through the migration of certain family members, to ensure income stability through diversification. A sense of 'relative deprivation' also acts as a motivation for migration, as households in surrounding communities observe others in their neighbourhoods receiving the economic benefits of remittances.
Migration Crisis and its Solutions
During the first phase of the lockdown, media reports highlighted the distress and hunger faced by migrant workers. A number of state governments and the Central government announced welfare measures in May to provide free food grains for the next two to three months, workers' special trains and cash transfers. There have been challenges in mobilising the announced support to the needy migrants. Moreover, most employers and contractors left the workers to their own fate.
There has been a severe lack of coordinated efforts at the workplace, ward and district level to provide migrants sufficient food, shelter and assurance of employment in the near future. This crisis has been compounded by the loss of regular wages and depletion in their meagre savings with no clarity on their future prospects. As a result, some of them seem to have lost their trust and confidence in the State. Therefore, despite transport arrangements by the Centre and respective state governments, however limited, migrants continue to move on foot, bicycle and other limited transport means towards their home states.
Limited access to food due to loss of income, disruption in school meal programmes and ICDS are also going to have serious consequences and may lead to a further surge in malnutrition. There is a need to have coherent and coordinated efforts, especially by the concerned state governments, to facilitate migrants to stop wherever they are and arrange temporary shelter and food and subsequently, provide transport to the destination states.
There is a need to learn from this crisis and create a safety net for both the semi-skilled and skilled migrant workforce. Creating a national and state-level Aadhar linked database of migrant workers will improve the targeting of support to them during such crises and help in coordinating efforts for their welfare. The implementation of One Nation, One Ration (ONOR) Card which entitles beneficiaries to claim subsidised food irrespective of their place of residence is a very desirable step by the Central government. Continuous capacity building of the workforce and providing migrants reasonable living conditions with provision of housing for minimum number of workers, especially for industries which are essential in nature, will make the system more resilient.
After their recent experiences, the migrants may not return for the next couple of months. Indeed, 15–20% of them may not from their home states at all. This presents a major challenge as well as a big opportunity for the local governments. It would pose a serious policy challenge to provide employment to these additional people in the absence of remittances in an already stressed rural economy. Expanded MGNREGS including agriculture and agro-forestry, and free food grains for next few months can provide immediate relief to these returnees.
Many of these migrants are well-trained, have been exposed to non-agricultural livelihoods and have higher aspirations. It provides a good opportunity for the respective state governments and industries to utilise this trained human resource in creating and promoting rural-based small and medium businesses, non-farm and agro-based value addition and tertiary service provisioning enterprises. Many of these returnee migrants may also prefer to work in their marginal farms and therefore, it is advisable for states to facilitate such migrant labourers and landless workers to 'lease in' lands from those willing to rent out.
Utilising Atmanirbhar Bharat
Many components of the Union government's package of INR 20 trillion under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative presents a good opportunity to promote several non-farm and allied faming enterprises utilising rural people including returnee migrants in boosting the rural economy. Support for formalisation of Micro Food Enterprises (MFE) is one example, that could be leveraged in establishing viable enterprises based on nutritious and smart foods like millets, legumes, local fruits and herbs. Post-Covid, there is likely to be greater health consciousness and consequently, a higher demand for such nutritious and healthy foods among people to boost their immune systems. Promoting diversified and nutritious food by strengthening appropriate value chains has to be a priority of the country as malnutrition is one of its biggest national challenges. Enterprises that can add value to healthy local food products with assured quality, connecting rural and urban consumers could also be a good opportunity. Easy access to cheap credit, further needs-based capacity-building and handholding support will be key to harness economic opportunities through livestock and dairy, honeybee-keeping, fisheries and other area specific agro-based enterprises. Agricultural market reforms, deregulation of key agricultural items from the Essential Commodities Act and significant public investments to strengthen agro-infrastructure and logistics announced by the Central government can help open multiple value addition and agribusiness avenues if appropriately leveraged by the state governments.
There is a need to plan and organise promising agricultural value chains and non-farm enterprises and activities at the decentralised level of panchayats, blocks and districts. Appropriate professional teams including consultants, private sector professionals, government research and development institutions, and NGOs may be involved in coordination with governments in mapping area-specific opportunities, availability of skilled and semi-skilled workers and scope for leveraging the Central government's recent economic package for creating employment and growth. As per government policy, area/district specific products and brands may be promoted with focus on better nutrition, value addition and climate resilience.
Finally, building capacity and creating competition for the workforce by involving different states and industries, and eschewing restrictive inspection regime, will be key to improving their condition. This is a good opportunity for the labour supplier states to make it happen.

2017 Wimbledon Mixed Doubles Quarterfinalist Nicole Melichar Advances to Second Round of Qualifying at Odlum Brown VanOpen
News Aug 14, 2017
Max Purcell Upsets Top Qualifying Seed to Move Into Main Draw at Odlum Brown VanOpen
West Vancouver, BC – The men's singles qualifying round wrapped up on Sunday at the Odlum Brown VanOpen with three seeds and one unseeded player advancing to the men's main draw of the 15th edition of the tournament at the Hollyburn Country Club.
Fifth seed Max Purcell of Australia upset compatriot and top seed Marc Polmans 6-3, 6-2. The 19-year-old from Sydney was coming off a three set win over Canadian wild card George Jecminek.
"It was better today than it was yesterday, that's for sure. Today playing another Australian, I really wanted to win so I put a little more effort in and I played well," Purcell said, adding that the rain delay which caused play to be postponed by more than two hours benefited him. "I actually liked it, it gave me a bit more time to eat and relax. I got to watch the final of the Rogers Cup, which is nice."
Other winners on the men's side to advance to the main draw include third seed Lloyd Harris of South Africa, sixth seed Takanyi Garanganga of Zimbabwe, and American Thai-Son Kwiatkowski, who ousted eighth seed and countryman JC Aragone with a two hour, three set battle.
The first round of women's singles qualifying got underway with twelve matches on tap, including four Canadians in action. All four were unsuccessful in moving forward, including Charlotte Robillard-Millette of Blaineville, Quebec, who fell 3-6, 6-3, 7-5 to Nicole Melichar of the United States.
"It was a great match, she's a great player, we both played well at times, both played a bit shaky at times, and I'm happy I was able to pull it through," said Melichar, who made it to the quarterfinals in mixed doubles at Wimbledon last month and is ranked World No. 51 in doubles. "I haven't played singles since before the French Open, so it's nice to get my first win under my belt. I'm happy with the way I'm playing in doubles and I'm going to try to use the last matches I won in doubles as a positive for my singles."
Other notables who won in women's qualifying on day two of the tournament include Japanese fifth seed Miyu Kato, sixth seed Silvia Soler-Espinosa of Spain, and seventh seed and American Usue Maitane Arconada. The top four seeds received a bye in the second round of qualifying while Olivia Rogowska of Australia was the lone seeded player to fall as she lost 6-3, 6-2 to fellow Aussie Priscilla Hon.
Matches continue on Monday, August 14 at 9 am, including Men's Singles and Doubles Main Draw First Round and Women's Singles Second Round Qualifying. Tickets to the Odlum Brown VanOpen are on sale now, starting as low as $25.

Argentine president calls for Ibero-American unity
BUENOS AIRES, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Argentine President Alberto Fernandez on Saturday called for Ibero-American unity to achieve development with social inclusion.
"If we want a fair and sustainable Ibero-America, the first step is to reestablish unity," he said at the 28th Ibero-American Summit of Heads of State and Government, stressing the importance of "multilateralism" for the region's progress in the international arena.
According to a press release from the Presidency, Fernandez called for "a unity that does not allow economic blockades that affect the peoples of the region, a unity necessary to preserve common interests where we respect ideological diversity."
He also called for "rebuilding solidarity in the region" and said that "effective inclusion generates employment, consolidates the domestic market and opens possibilities for international trade."
"There is no solution in isolation," Fernandez said, urging the Southern Common Market, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the summit to "think about solutions from (the perspective of) multilateralism."
The summit was held on Friday and Saturday in the Dominican Republic under the slogan "Together for a fair and sustainable Ibero-America," with a focus on four strategic pillars -- the environmental crisis, digital transformation, food security and the international financial architecture, according to the Presidency.

What Animal Cums The Most?
The boar, or Sus scrofa, is known for having some of the largest ejaculates in comparison to its body size. According to Lüpold, the males of this species of boar ″seem to produce ejaculates of over 50 billion sperm,″ which is well over 100 times the amount of sperm that a human produces.

What are the most sexually active animals in the world?
The next species on our list of the most sexually active animals in the world is the lion, which is capable of mating up to one hundred times in a single day. It is easy to see why they are so proud. 8. Mola Mola
Can animals ejaculate spontaneously?
According to the findings of the study, drowsy rats, guinea pigs, domestic cats, warthogs, horses, and chimpanzees have all been observed to have spontaneously ejaculated at some point.Even though reading about this kind of research can be entertaining, it seems that the practice of watching animals get sexually aroused with the intention of describing their climaxes in a scholarly manner has fallen out of favor.
What are the top 10 most common animals in the world?
1 Primates. 2 Cetaceans. 3 Elephants. 4 Walrus. 5 Rodents. 6 Bats. 7 Lizards. 8 Turtles. 9 Penguins.
Which animal produces largest sperm?
There is a species of fruit fly known as Drosophila bifurca. The males of this species are known to have the longest sperm cells of any organism on Earth. When uncoiled, these sperm cells measure an impressive 5.8 centimeters in length, which is over twenty times the length of the male's entire body.
Which animal has the largest balls?
The testicles of right whales found in the North Atlantic are the largest found anywhere in the animal kingdom.They can weigh more than 900 kilograms, which is equivalent to approximately 2 percent of the animal's total mass.The testicles of male harbor porpoises enlarge to approximately 5 percent of their body weight during the time of year when they are trying to mate.This is not anything that should make them feel embarrassed.
What animal mates the most often?
Bonobos are among the most sexually active of all primate species; they have more sexual encounters than any other species of ape, and they do so in virtually every possible sexual configuration, from heterosexual to homosexual unions.
What animals produce sperm?
In amniotes (reptiles and mammals), the seminiferous tubules of the testes are the location where the process known as spermatogenesis takes place. This process results in the formation of sperm cells. This process involves the production of several different types of sperm cell precursors, beginning with spermatogonia and culminating in spermatocytes (the mature form of sperm cell).
Who has the smallest sperm?
Sperm is the reproductive cell found in males. Crocodiles and Amphioxus have the sperm with the smallest size, respectively (. 02 mm).
Which animal has smallest sperm?
Sperm can range in length from 0.0003 millimeters in porcupine sperm to 6 centimeters in the sperm of the fruit fly, which is more than 20 times the length of the fly itself. Sperm length can vary by several orders of magnitude depending on the species.
How big is a whale testicle?
It was discovered that one testicle from a fin whale weighs around 7-8 kilograms and is approximately the size of a basketball. The fin whale is the second biggest mammal on the planet after the blue whale. It may grow to be 27,3 meters (89,5 feet) long and weighs almost 74 tons. Other names for the fin whale include the finback whale, razorback, and common rorqual.
How big is an elephant testicle?
Testicles. The testicles of the elephant, which are roughly the size of a'respectable globe,' are buried beneath 2 inches of skin, 12 inches of muscle, 4 inches of fat, and an extremely dense 69 inches of hair. The testicles are approximately the size of a'respectable globe.'
What color is animal sperm?
In the vast majority of breeds, the color of buck semen ranges from a creamy white to a grayish white. Changes from this to yellow or other hues may be the result of infections, contamination with urinary tract infections, or changes in diet.
What is female sperm called?
They are also known as sperm cells and egg cells. Ovum or egg cells are the common names for female gametes, while sperm is the common name for male gametes. Haploid cells are those that contain only one copy of each chromosome, and gametes are examples of these.
Can humans breed with any other animals?
Almost certainly not. Ethical issues prevent conducting conclusive study on the topic, but it is reasonable to state that the DNA of humans has evolved so distinct from that of other animals that it is highly unlikely that they could ever successfully breed with one another.

In these unprecedented times, it's never been more important for businesses to be in control of their costs as much as possible.
Whether you're an essential business operating as usual, or you've now closed following government guidance, our experts give their top tips on managing your business water supply.
1: Become more water-efficient
Installation of the following water-efficient equipment could save your business both commercially and environmentally.
· Self-closing or 'push' taps
A push tap will limit waste as well as limit the chances of flooding. They are easy and cost-effective to install. Lowered usage will also result in reduced expenditure.
· Automated urinal controls
These automatic systems use sensors to flush individual urinals after use. As an example, with a relatively low initial outlay of £350, savings of over £3,800 per year can be achieved, which is a return of investment (ROI) of five weeks (based on 100 people working 260 hours a day).
· Tap flow restrictors
These are fitted to your taps and simply put, limit the amount of water flow. With a tap flow restrictor, you can save 1,274 litres of water every month.
· Toilet cistern displacers
Flushing toilets can account for up to 75% of water usage in the WCs of businesses so by installing displacers you can instantly cut the amount of water being used when flushing.
2: Regularly monitor your water use
If, like many businesses in the UK, you're now closed it's vitally important that you continue to regularly monitor your water metres and bills.
If the business is closed, this should be reflected in your usage. By comparing your current use with that of previous months, you will be able to spot any anomalies and water waste. If you're seeing your water spend increase, this could indicate that there is a leak on the premises.
If your business is now closed, you should consider manually disabling your supply to ensure water is not being used when you are closed. Again, this will limit the risk of flooding.
3: Switch water supplier
As of April 2017, the English water market deregulated allowing non-domestic customers to change their water retailer. As a result, competition was introduced to the market allowing businesses to achieve savings if they switched.
With the help of a Cost-Saving Consultant the water switching process can be achieved quickly, allowing your business to benefit from instant savings.
4: Educate staff on reducing water waste
If you fall into the essential business category, you are likely to have staff still working on the premises. And, whilst it's vital you continue to practice the recommended hand-hygiene measures, there are things that can be done to reduce waste.

The following thought-provoking article by Bhavisha P. Sheth and Vrinda S. Thaker of the University of Saurashtra, in India, was published recently in the journal Acta Bioethica 20 (1) : 93 –97: "Scientific retraction: a synonym for pseudoscience¹". Although the authors do not venture into a discussion as to what characterizes Science, reflecting upon Science itself and the current scientific context in which researchers must work, would be key to broadening out the debate in a meaningful sense.
The current academic system exerts an intolerable pressure on researchers, contributing to an increase in the number of publications they must produce as a requirement for survival in the scientific environment. As a result of this process, it is the increase in the quantity of publications produced which is often given priority, to the detriment of their quality. The absence of effective monitoring by society as a whole and the deficiencies in the training provided to researchers as far as scientific integrity is concerned, can favor bad scientific practice which manifests itself in the form of plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, to name but three examples of this. In this context, it is striking that the number of retracted articles in highly rated scientific journals is growing.
There is no doubt that we are in agreement with the authors of the article cited above, when they point out the consequences that scientific misconduct can have for the credibility of scientific literature and for future studies. However, in addition to the harm done to Science itself, the damage caused by scientific misconduct also impacts upon individuals involved in research, society, researchers, research institutes and research funding agencies.
The article points out that retraction is a shameful phenomenon for the scientific community. In addition, the article refers to ethics as the fundamental constituent of Science itself; a violation of its rules would therefore constitute both pseudoscience and dishonesty. However, it is our duty to reflect upon the fact that Science is the product of fallible human beings with different agendas. The acknowledgement of those aspects which are involved in the process of scientific production is key to Science becoming less skewed. Gérard Fourez, in his book entitled "A construção das ciências"(The construction of the Sciences) is critical of those who hold an almost sacred conception of what Science is. Science shouldbe characterized by a focus on observations free from human factors which then allow for the formulation of laws which will be verified by logical and rational experiments. Fourez stresses that, previously, observations and models were seen as human representations, thus making it impossible to qualify them as being free from human nature. Nevertheless, the use of appropriate methods brings about a reduction in bias, enabling scientifically acceptable answers to be obtained, even if these do not constitute absolute truths.
Understanding that Science is not free from bias and that researchers, since they are only human, are biased in their hypotheses, in addition to possessing a capacity for what is both good and bad, it nevertheless seems key to us to invest in their academic training. This academic training should enable the researcher to take into account the consequences of scientific dishonesty, not only for his or her immediate sphere, but also for the entire scientific community itself. The training should also include a consideration of the legitimate interests of all those involved (participants, researchers and institutions) so that possible conflicts of interest can be recognized.
Scientific dishonesty is not a new phenomenon. Currently, globalization and developments in technology have assisted dishonesty in Science as much as they have hampered it. The article in question states that the review of a scientific work does not end at its publication. In fact, we know that an academic article, once published, goes through the "filter" of the academic community of specialists in the area in question, which is more effective in identifying errors or misconduct than the peer-reviewers associated with the given journal. As a consequence, many articles are retracted during this post-publication period.
Currently, most journals use software which detect plagiarism and self-plagiarism, so we believe that the global tendency will be a reduction in plagiarism and duplicate publication. However, errors and fraud in scientific outputs are detected with greater difficulty, as a result more effective monitoring by society as a whole is required.
The authors point out the serious nature of the fact that the scientific community continues to cite retracted works. This fact might demonstrate that the efforts of editors and the methods of publicizing notifications of retractions are still inadequate or insufficient. Authors, editors and reviewers have a great responsibility in assessing submissions, thus making it imperative that there be greater control over cases of scientific dishonesty and its dissemination in the editorial world.
In summary, dishonesty is not a recent development in the history of Science. The phenomenon of the increasing number of retractions due to errors or fraud represents a necessary response, even if it is only partially effective, and has come about as a result of society as a whole detecting what the authors refer to as "pseudo-science".

How to Spot Crack Cocaine (Drug) Paraphernalia?
Drug abuse is always a concern during adolescent years. Experimentation with these illicit substances can quickly lead to abuse, dependency and a graduation to harder, more addictive drugs. Unfortunately, abusing crack cocaine – a smokable form of cocaine – is a common result of initial experimentation with power cocaine.
While both forms of cocaine are incredibly addictive, crack is generally cheaper and produces a more intense, dangerous high.
5 Common Pieces of Crack Paraphernalia
If you're concerned your teen may be abusing crack, you'll want to learn about the following five pieces of paraphernalia traditionally associated with crack cocaine, such as what a crack pipe or "stem" looks like.
- Light Bulbs and Crack Pipe:
Crack does not light on its own (like marijuana or hash); it must be slowly heated to burn. While a crack user may use a traditional glass pipe, light bulbs are an incredibly popular, make-shift device for smoking crack. Users remove the bulb's inner workers, place the crack inside the bulb, and light the outside of the glass. If you find a bulb with burn marks or empty light bulbs, it's important to intervene quickly.
- Steel Wool, Faucet Aerators and Chore Boy:
When someone does use a traditional pipe (or stem), they require a filter to keep the crack in place. Placing steel wool or copper Chore Boy, both scrubbing materials, inside the pipe is the most common method to do so. Faucet aerators are the screens obtained by screwing off the end of older faucets. These are also commonly used as screens for smoking crack.
- Tin Foil and Straws
Known as freebasing, using tin foil and a straw (or a hollow pen) is probably the second-most common method for smoking crack. Users make a crease in the foil, heat the crack from underneath, and use a straw to inhale the smoke. Finding balled up pieces of tin foil or tin foil with yellowish-brown or black burn markings may indicate your teen is using crack.
- Aluminum Cans
Another home-made, make-shift device, aluminum cans are also common. A user indents a side of the can, makes pin-sized holes in the indentation, places a screen over the holes, and lights the crack on the screen. While finding a can in this form may indicate smoking other types of drugs (marijuana, hash, etc.), it's no less a reason to initiate a conversation. While marijuana and hash produce very poignant smells, crack's smell is more-subtle yet still identifiable. Many describe it has burning plastic or cat pee.
- Glass Pipes and Stems:
While using a glass pipe or bong is common, "stems" are the preferred type of smoking device for crack. These are either straight, hollow glass tubes or glass tubes with a rounded, bulbous end. After prolonged use, the stem will have brown smoke residue inside and black burn marks on the outside end used for lighting the crack. If you find a stem, it's crucial to confront your child and quickly make arrangements for treatment.

Time Looping Takes a Deep Dive Twist in Palm Springs
If you were able to re-experience the same day on a loop, would you want to? What would you want to stay exactly the same. What would you want to change? Would you want to experience it alone or with someone you loved? Who would that someone be? These are all questions I found myself asking after watching Hulu's Palm Springs. Now I know what you are thinking and yes, it does sound very similar to Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Back to The Future with Michael J. Fox because I thought the very same thing…at first. Then, I realized that Palm Springs is more about one's journey of self-discovery in the same day while repeatedly offering the opportunity to explore and grow beyond your wildest dreams. It makes you face the question of how far would you go when fearful for your life.
Sara (Cristin Milioti) is always down for a nice glass of wine and enjoys the company of men. She's smart, funny, beautiful and not looking forward to celebrating her sister's nuptials for a variety of reasons. Niles (Andy Samberg) is lost. He doesn't know what he wants, who he wants or how he will navigate through the rest of his life. When these two connect at the wedding reception, little did they know that neither one of them would ever be the same. Cristin Milioti and Andy Samberg are comedy gold with a chemistry that is precious, powerful, playful and palpable. J.K. Simmons is simply amazing as always in a role that allows him to play yet tap into that dramatic side we have grown to love from him onscreen.
Director Max Barbakow gives me a rom-com that is completely unexpected, yet left me thinking about my own existence on earth, who I share space with and what I want my life to look like moving forward. During a pandemic, this gift and curse of time feels like a never ending loop of life. I'm reminded time literally stands still for no one. What will my legacy be? Will anything I have done with my life matter? Have I done enough? Who will remember? Who will care? Will my actions be respected? Judge for yourself when Palm Springs streams on Hulu on July 10th.

A NYC comic sits alone in his small and cramped apartment somewhere in the city (No name? No specific part of the city? C'mon! Flash is short but it also needs depth.) with a nearly empty green-bottled Heineken and his note pad, talking to himself, working it out. The clubs will open soon.
"Amused Douche: Tiny little chuckling one-bite Chads they give away as pre-workout at cross-fit gyms, sorry, boxes!" he says, scribbling, "Is this a thing…. Probably not a thing."
The apartment isn't airconditioned and it's warm and he's sweating and the bottle's condensation is beginning to run beads down to the table on which it is sat, creating a ring, which he will then have to explain to the girlfriend that he'd just met when this whole thing began, hastily deciding to move in, only later finding out she was a total neat-freak and super into preserving her possessions. (Sure, give those details, why not, it's not as if you are purposefully trying to stay within a super tight word limit in order to be able to market whatever this is to one of those hip new literary magazines with their hip new super-short pop-up and random micro-submission windows; they only want that fucking energy, but, you know, under 500 words would be great.) We're going to have to have a talk about the ring now, god damn it, he thinks.
"People in recovery are the new vegans. You are literally in no danger of accidently offering them a drink or whatever without knowing because the second they get their one-day chips, they fucking tell everybody. They don't even wait for it come up naturally either, 'Oh, you're fully vaxed? Yeah, I would be too, but I had to postpone because my first shot conflicted with my zoom AA.' We get it, you're impossible to go out to eat with! What the fuck does the other A even stand for anymore, Announcement!" He writes that down, "That could be a thing."
Outside, six floors down — a walk-up, no elevator (Yeah, because people need to know that. What are you at, huh? About 400 words? Better wrap this thing up, otherwise good luck, dude!) — the heat of the day has warmed the trash in the alley and the stench is wafting through the open window he can't close because he knows it will be no cooler at night and that the smell won't be taken care of for a couple of days, when the trash is scheduled to be picked up (Now you're detailing the city's sanitation schedule? Okay.), and he knows that that, and the state of the apartment, combined with the new con-ring on the girlfriend-whom-he-still-doesn't-really-know-all-that-well's own personal (Own personal? That's a choice.) coffee table, will make for one really dumb and fraught evening.
"Ummmmmm, okay, something else, something funny, ummmmmmmm, dooo, dooo, dooo, okay. So, when did we decide, like collectively decide, that we are all just cool with bagging our own groceries? Was there a meeting? Did they take a vote? Because I know how I would've voted, which, is probably why I wasn't invited to the meeting in the first place. Big grocery knows where I stand on the whole bagging my own groceries issue," in Sienfeldian voice, "I'm… opposed."
He hears steps in the hallway (Wrap it up.) and he feels the skin behind his ears tighten in a way that's vaguely canine, like a canine perking up, listening for danger and finding some. He finishes his beer (Yeah, everyone was just hanging on this far for you to close that loop, dipshit.) and grabs his notebook off the table and considers the fact that if he leaves now, he will surely pass her in the hallway and have to tell her where he is going and how long he will be gone and if he thinks he'll want food when he gets back and if he thinks she should just order enough for herself, or what. He sets his things down and leans back in his chair, trying to relax, to look relaxed. He hears the key schlunk (wasting a word on a word that's not even a word, not the choice I'd have made, but, like, it's your thing, dude.) the lock and he girds himself for the onslaught, and he knows that it's going to be so epically bad.
"Hey babe, how's it going? Got anything funny for me?" she asks, kissing his forehead.
"Ahhh, I don't know, do you think making fun of people in active recovery is okay?"
"I don't know love, sounds touchy."
"You're probably right, thanks. Think I'm gonna do it anyway…"
"No problem."
(God, I hate you so much.)

Royston COVID Response Group leads the way in supporting the community
The strong and unwavering community spirit of Royston has moved to a whole new level since the coronavirus outbreak thanks to the work of local housing associations and other community organisations.
With lockdown looming in the middle of March, Spire View, Copperworks and Blochairn Housing Associations, along with Royston Youth Action, Rosemount Development Trust, Help 4 the Homeless, The Hub on the Hill Café, Rosemount Lifelong Learning, North Glasgow Community Food Initiative, North Glasgow Healthy Living Community and Councillor Allan Casey got together to formulate a plan of action. The aim was to ensure that every single resident who required support would receive it. This was the beginning of the Royston COVID Response Group.
The partners got to work quickly to put together a co-ordinated list of those people requiring support, as well as a list of volunteers. Meanwhile, Spire View Housing Association quickly prepared a funding bid for submission to The National Lottery. The end result was funding of £63,040 to allow delivery of food parcels and hot meals across the local community for a period of 16 weeks.
Since lockdown, over 1,000 food parcels and over 800 hot meals have been distributed. A further 30 food parcels are also received from the North Glasgow Community Food Initiative every week for onward distribution.
This 'hub' of activity takes place at the Roystonhill Community Hub, which Spire View and Copperworks have kept open throughout the COVID outbreak. Preparation and delivery of food parcels is co-ordinated by the housing associations' tenancy support officer Geraldine Burgess, supported by her colleague Tracey Blair and Copperworks' estate caretaker David Manners, along with a group of incredible volunteers. Hot meals are prepared by The Hub on the Hill Café chef Pauline Frati, who had only just launched her new business venture within the Roystonhill Community Hub a few weeks before lockdown.
Glasgow and West of Scotland Forum of Housing Associations supported the group to make an application to the Scottish Government which resulted in an additional £48,605 of funding being made available. This has allowed the group to retain the tenancy support officer / COVID response co-ordinator. This funding will also allow Royston Youth Action (RYA) to distribute over 250 packed lunches every week to local children, again in partnership with The Hub on the Hill Café. Furthermore, RYA will prepare and distribute activity packs to local children and elderly/vulnerable residents during the next 10-12 weeks.
Another member of the group, Rosemount Development Trust, secured over £20,000 Scottish Government Funding to support Royston Youth Action in other areas of work providing emergency support to local children and families in the form of mobile top-ups, food vouchers and wellbeing/care packs. RDT was also able to assist Rosemount Lifelong Learning with funds for family activity packs.
North Glasgow Healthy Living Community took the bull by the horns and secured funds from Glasgow City Council's Area Partnership to provide local people with a 'Saturday Night Fakeaway'. The pack includes ingredients and a recipe card for a healthy meal, along with fun and engaging activities for recipients.
As a result of a funding partnership with Good Things Foundation, Spire View was able, through DevicesDotNow, to acquire 10 brand new electronic tablet devices for distribution to people in the Royston community who were completely digitally disconnected. Recipients were provided with the devices and 24gb of data and are being supported by Spire View's digital engagement officer.
Special recognition has also been given to the incredible Mel from Help 4 the Homeless, a charity based at Spire View's former office premises in James Nisbet Street. Working tirelessly to support the group, Mel collects FareShare donations and provides vital food supplies for our food parcels and The Hub on the Hill Cafe. This is in addition to continuing to support countless other groups, individuals and food banks across the city.
Local councillor, Allan Casey, has been a fantastic support throughout; collecting food supplies, assisting partners at the hub, supporting funding applications and bringing in countless donations of much-needed items such as toiletries and soap.
The group has also been supported by local MP Anne McLaughlin who picks up and delivers food supplies every week in the big yellow van.
As well as this co-ordinated partnership response in the community all partners continue to engage with their service users. The RSL housing management teams are contacting elderly and vulnerable customers on a weekly basis to ensure they are supported and feel less isolated. Financial capability and money advice services continue to operate and are supporting those in need of their services at this very challenging time.
The group is delighted to work in partnership to provide this support to the community during these difficult times. The partners take great pride in the Royston community and are overwhelmed by the amount of support received from fellow partners, local businesses and volunteers, without them none of this would have been possible. A special thanks to Morrisons Auchinea, FareShare, Asda Robroyston, Rossvale FC, St. Roch's Junior FC, Glasgow Caring City, Glasgow Girls & Women FC, Failte Foods, North Curve Celtic, Lorna Finn, Mast Architects, Reid Associates and G3 Engineering Consultants.

Cowen advised Twinner Group, the world's most advanced specialist in the digitization of cars, on the acquisition of Hungarian hardware manufacturing start-up SHI-Scalable. Prior to the deal, Cowen had already assisted the company, which generates so-called Digital Twinns® of cars using vehicle scanners, in three rounds of financing and raised a total of more than EUR 40 million in capital for Twinner.
With the acquisition of SHI-Scalable, Twinner is able to produce vehicle scanners in-house. The resulting flexibility in supplying partners will give the company an edge over competitors who rely on overseas production of parts.
Together with SHI-Scalable, Twinner intends to continue its international expansion and further strengthens its presence in Germany.
Founded in 2017, Twinner® is on a mission to revolutionise the automotive industry. Twinner®'s technology makes it possible to create digital images of vehicles so that they no longer need to be viewed in person at specific times in specific locations. In this way, the company brings transparency, security and trust to one of the largest sales markets in the world. Twinner® obtains an incomparably large data set from each vehicle, based on which a Digital Twinn®, i.e. a "digital twin", is created, with which the customer can virtually see more than if he were standing in front of the vehicle themself. The start-up company from Halle has a team of more than 150 experts, all of whom have extensive experience in the automotive and start-up sectors as well as innovation sectors.
SHI-Scalable, a hardware mastermind, was founded in Budapest in 2017 and employs 70 people.
