As students continued moving into their dorms Monday at UConn, the university announced that seven students have tested positive for COVID-19, while another 13 are in isolated quarantine on campus after coming into contact with those who are sick.
Four of the students who have tested positive for the disease are living on campus this semester, the school said, while the other three are living off-campus and commuting. With only 3,739 test results received out of the 5,500 students who were tested and living on campus this semester, UConn is expecting there to be additional positive cases as move-in continues and more results come back.
"Given the volume of testing we are doing, it was inevitable that there would be positive cases," UConn Dean of Students Eleanor Daugherty said in a press release on Monday. "Knowing this, the university has a clear and detailed strategy in place we can quickly implement to address any positives, and have already done so in these cases."
Locations on campus have been set aside to house people who test positive so they have comfortable, separate spaces while they're recovering, UConn spokesperson Stephanie Reitz said. Testing for residential students began last week as part of the move-in process.
Students attending in-person classes at UConn are required to self-quarantine and submit negative COVID test results to the university 14 days before the school year officially begins. Because of this, Reitz said, the university decided to have students move in two weeks early this year so that all the isolation and testing can be wrapped up before classes start.
Students living off-campus are also required to submit negative COVID tests 14 days before the start of classes. Commuter students have access to COVID-19 PCR testing at the university's expense through a mail-in option. Employees working on campus this semester will have access to PCR testing upon their return to campus.
Reitz said the testing is not a one-time requirement. UConn will continue to test students and staff throughout the semester so it can track the spread of the virus.
"The initial testing is happening now, and then there will be more ongoing as we go through the semester," she said. "Right now we have a lot of employees who are either testing today or within the next few days … And once classes start, we'll still continue to have testing of students and also employees, and others, on a kind of a rotating basis, but particularly the residential student population."
Colleges and universities throughout the state have been making an effort to test students before campuses open to start the academic year. The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system has adopted state guidelines for testing and re-opening this semester.
Similar to UConn, CSCU students living on-campus are also required to submit a negative test that was taken between three and 14 days before arriving on campus, a spokesperson said. As the semester continues, students with COVID-19 symptoms will be tested immediately, and a sample size of residential students and residence hall directors will be tested every week.

Take that, critters! 😄 via Instagram ift.tt/2OkbWyE
I've had a few queries about planting garlic. I think it is one of the easiest to grow. Just stick it in the ground and wait. lol 3-4" deep. About 6" apart (I think only did 3" this time.), 12" rows. Plant in mid to late fall, fertilize in spring (I'll just use compost) then when the tops begin to turn yellow and fall over, it is the time to harvest. Of course that's just an overview. Google it for more details and give you the optimal way to get big garlic bulbs. Learn about hard- and soft-neck varieties. Save the biggest bulbs for replanting. You'll never buy garlic ever again. 😆 via Instagram ift.tt/2P0HLfD

Almaden Institute - 2005 : Transforming Healthcare with Information
The Almaden Institute is held annually at the IBM Research - Almaden in San Jose, California. Each year, we invite eminent innovative thinkers from academia, government, industry and the media to address critical problems at the forefront of science and technology.
This year's institute focuses on the prospective role of information in transforming healthcare. Among the topics for consideration is the illiquidity of health information and its impact on innovation and transformation. The flow of health information is fragmented; several participants in our program will assert that the emergence of demand-centered consumer behaviors requires a liquidity of health information that can be obtained only through organized market structures.
We will explore the challenges associated with developing a national health information infrastructure, including: Is developing such an infrastructure an attainable strategic objective? How will we pay for such infrastructure given the current dynamics of health economics? Can such an infrastructure generate transformative effects? How might understanding healthcare dynamics in the context of an adaptive ecosystem inform strategic choices? How can we leverage investment by private enterprise to create a national infrastructure?
A key topic at the Almaden Institute will be the concept of Health Record Banks (HRBs) as a means of providing consumers the ability to consolidate and control access to their entire medical history. We will examine the role of private enterprise in establishing HRBs as well as the economic implications.
The view of health information as an earning asset for consumers will also be explored. Issues associated with the values and value that inform individual decision making for health information liquidity will be considered in the context of assessing prospective beneficial effects in transforming health system dynamics.

The finance workforce of the future is going to look very different.
That's the conclusion of the annual Morgan Stanley/Oliver Wyman blue paper on wholesale banks and asset managers, published Wednesday. The report highlights intensifying cost pressures on asset managers, which will in turn translate into added cost pressures for the wholesale banks that serve them.
- Morgan Stanley and Oliver Wyman just published their annual blue paper on wholesale banks and asset managers, highlighting growing pressures on the asset management industry.
- As part of the study, the two firms set out their predictions for compensation spending by role across both wholesale banking and asset management.
- Technologists are going to be in demand, with engineering, tech, quant and analytics staff making up a bigger chunk of bank front office operations, and IT making up a huge portion of the back office. There's a similar story in asset management.
- The report estimates that up to 40% of the asset management workforce "will require fundamental re-training."
And that dynamic is going to have significant repercussions for those employed in the finance industry. The report said:
"As banks adopt new technologies and build new businesses, the talent model will need to shift profoundly. In the front office, demand for quants will increase significantly, while technology experts such as user experience (UX) specialists will need to be aligned with business teams to enable agile proposition development. We estimate these two roles will grow to represent 25% of compensation from <5% today.
"In the back office, IT will make up ~60% of future compensation, driven by higher salaries for more specialized, in-demand technology skill-sets such as user interface (UI) developers."
The same is true for those working in the asset management industry. The report suggests asset managers could cut costs by 30% as a result of investments and advancements in automation and outsourcing. The report said:
"We expect headcount to reduce due to automation and externalization of the skill-set. We also estimate that up to 40% of the workforce will require fundamental re-training. This will be most significant in portfolio management and asset administration roles where the use of better data and analytics will transform roles.
"As a result, compensation structures will shift. Investment management will continue to demand the lion's share of compensation spend. Technology and Data Management's share of compensation will grow fourfold whereas relative spend on automated back office functions will decrease. The share of Distribution will remain largely flat but we expect this role to shift most fundamentally as data and technology will be increasingly important at the interface to customers."
To be sure, there are challenges. For one, attracting these skilled technologists to finance can be difficult, with the report saying "wholesale banks will need to evolve their talent models to compete."
And for asset managers, the retraining of 40% of a workforce isn't likely to come easy.
"Overseeing this transition should be a CEO role," the report said. "The depth and speed of change required far exceeds the traditional change management process handled by HR departments."

Growing up in the Yakima Valley, Seattle City Council President Lorena González often saw the inequities in the food system at a very close range. She is from a migrant farmworker family, where she worked in the fields of Central Washington picking cherries starting at age 8. González and her siblings would work in the morning, attend school, then go back out into the fields to help their parents. She recalls picking fruit that was shipped to wealthier parts of the state, like Seattle, even as her own family struggled to access basic necessities.
"Because we were migrant farmworkers, we didn't have access to water [González's family had to bring their own jugs of water while living at the worker camps]. We didn't have the right to rest breaks, or lunches. We didn't have the right to stop work because it was over 100 degrees in the summer," she says. "It fueled my interest in wanting to represent workers who are taken advantage of because of the lack of positional power."
After law school, González worked at a firm that represented plaintiffs in wage theft and anti-discrimination cases, as well as victims of police misconduct. In 2016, she became the first Latinx elected to serve on the Seattle City Council, and is currently City Council President. On February 3, González officially announced her mayoral candidacy, bringing some of the values from her past experience to her platform.
There will be many issues to address in Seattle's restaurant industry, even if COVID is under better control by the time the next mayor takes office. During the first six months of the pandemic, nearly 20 percent of restaurants in the city closed permanently, according to a survey by the Washington Hospitality Association, and more than 200,000 hospitality workers lost their jobs at the beginning of the crisis (though some of those jobs have since returned). González says she wants to not just codify, but expand protections for workers at the lower end of the pay scale in restaurants and help support small businesses as part of any future pandemic recovery plan.
Among some of González's proposed solutions are making some of the recent economic stopgap measures permanent, including a 15 percent cap on third-party delivery app fees that the city implemented in 2020 and expedited permits for street plaza seating. González also says she'd look to mirror a pilot program that Boston recently implemented.
The Boston fund works to provide wage reimbursements to restaurants that retain or rehire employees who lost their jobs due to COVID-19. It also aims to address wage disparities by committing restaurants to a $20 per hour minimum wage by 2026. Though she isn't suggesting accelerating the current minimum wage schedule in Seattle, González wants to incentivize restaurants who are so-called "high road employers." As detailed by the American Sustainable Business Council, that is a term referring to employers who, among other qualities, pay a livable and fair wage, provide family-friendly benefits, prioritize health and safety, and invest in employee growth and development.
González's legislative record includes leading the way on a bill that requires employers to give employees schedules 14 days in advance, gives employees the "right to rest" in declining shifts separated by less than 10 hours, and mandates that businesses offer additional hours to qualified internal candidates before hiring outside help. "Protecting restaurant workers on the lower spectrum of earning is so important because they are the ones who literally make the restaurant function and work," she says.
González has also witnessed some of the impacts that the pandemic has had on the hospitality industry directly: Her husband, Cameron Williams, has been a restaurant manager for almost 20 years, working for acclaimed chefs such as Daisley Gordon and Ethan Stowell. He most recently worked at West Seattle destination Il Nido, but is now out of a job as the restaurant is temporarily closed. "He currently finds himself on employment like so many thousands of other restaurant workers in the city," González says, adding that her recovery plan would try to address the needs of those out of work or underemployed, balanced with how to get restaurants in the city back on their feet.
González has found some opposition in the business community, though. She supported the much-debated "JumpStart" tax that targets larger corporations in the city, with the intention of using the revenue to address community needs, with more than $200 million in 2022 earmarked for affordable housing efforts, the Equitable Development Initiative, and economic recovery. In 2020, she also advocated for steep cuts and an overhaul to the Seattle Police Department, which was heavily criticized by groups like the Downtown Seattle Association. Most recently, she co-sponsored the hazard pay bill for local grocery workers, which larger chains, such as Kroger-owned QFC, have pushed back on.
But González insists many of her policy proposals would help smaller business owners. In addition to making the third-party app fee caps permanent, she would look to extend the moratorium on small business evictions. She'd also like to see Seattle's "Healthy Streets" initiative integrate a commerce element, perhaps allowing food trucks to set up shop on some of the closed blocks.
On the subject of rent relief and tax cuts, González is a little more vague, saying she wants to "advocate at the state and federal level for additional resources," while looking at extending the deferral of business and occupancy (B&O) taxes and utility payments for small businesses. But she says wants to make the structure of B&O taxes more equitable overall for struggling restaurants.
"I know exactly how tight the restaurant industry is — it's a family," she says. "Chef owners and workers cherish each other, and I think we can find a lot of common ground in figuring out policies and programs that can really help to elevate both the business side of the equation and the human needs side."

Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs are currently one of the most controversial couples on Bravo.
The Southern Charm couple didn't exactly win over their co-stars with their romance on the previous season, and when Ashley decided to stand by him during allegations that he had raped the nanny who cared for his kids, many thought she was just with him for the money.
After the show wrapped, there were rumors that the two had broken up. Both Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs supported this rumor by deleting all photos of one another on their social media accounts.
But then a friend of them posted that they were celebrating a special day together, and viewers immediately guessed that they were engaged, had gotten married, or were expecting a child.
So, now what? Where do we go from here?
Thomas Ravenel has revealed that he won't be returning to Southern Charm next year, however Ashley Jacobs is yet to make a comment on the issue.
It's possible that Bravo will offer her a role on the show, as the dynamics between Kathryn Dennis and Ashley brought both the drama and the ratings.
Some fans have guessed that Thomas Ravenel and Ashley Jacobs could be working with Bravo to get their own spin-off show, but it's possible that Bravo won't sign any contracts with Thomas until his legal problems are resolved.
He was recently accused of rape, but no formal charges have been filed. Bravo may want to see a thorough investigation before considering any sort of show with Thomas and Ashley, as they won't want to be accused of giving an accused rapist a platform and a paycheck.
Southern Charm is expected to return to Bravo next spring.

West Ham and Rangers in Nikica Jelavic talks
Last updated on .From the section Football
Rangers chairman Craig Whyte and his West Ham counterpart David Sullivan have discussed Ibrox top scorer Nikica Jelavic, boss Ally McCoist confirmed.
McCoist said: "I spoke to Craig today and I believe Craig had a conversation with David Sullivan.
"But Craig was very keen to point out that absolutely no offers had been made at all. I think it was just a pretty informal chat they had."
On Friday McCoist said a reported £6m Hammers bid was "not nearly enough".
BBC Scotland believes that , with Fulham also interested in signing the 26-year-old.
However, McCoist insists he is unaware of interest from any other clubs at this stage.
"The only team where there has been an indication of interest is West Ham," said the manager.
Jelavic featured in the Rangers side who fought back from behind to draw 1-1 with Aberdeen in the Scottish Premier League at Ibrox, a result that leaves the club four points behind leaders Celtic.
The Dons opened the scoring through Kari Arnason's controlled, curling shot, before Maurice Edu levelled just four minutes later, with neither side able to find the winner.
Asked if Rangers can still catch their rivals, McCoist said: "Absolutely. Of that there is no doubt. We've got a squad of players I believe can win the championship."
When then quizzed on whether his side can retain the championship if Jelavic does leave this month, McCoist added: "I'll answer that question if and when it happens and hopefully it won't happen.
"I would hazard a guess and give you the same answer because I'm not going to sit here and tell you we'll not win the title."
McCoist is still keen to strengthen his attacking options in the January transfer window but claimed the loss of another two points changed nothing in terms of potential transfer business.
He said: "I'm not any more urgent because it was urgent before. I know what we need and hopefully we can get that sorted.
"Kyle Lafferty and Steven Naismith are both goalscoring threats and when you take them out of your team you've got a little bit of a problem. We need to replace that."

It isn't simple to know what you must do to be a great leader. You have to be both well-versed in the traits of a good leader, but also mentally capable of executing those traits properly. You need to know how to be a great leader, as well as why it is important.
A good leader is someone who thinks about the future. You should be able to anticipate things before they occur, so you can handle anything that gets thrown your way. You're not psychic, but you can be intuitive. Always think about where you'd like to be at various intervals in the future and take the steps needed to get there.
Being decisive is a necessary leadership skill. Since you're the leader, many decisions may come down to you. If you are one of a team that is divided about how to solve problems, it is important to choose solutions that will benefit the whole team instead of only a few people.
Keep good morals. Just because your competitors are cheating does not mean that you have to. There are ways to compete without lowering your standards. By developing an innovation that keeps you competitive, you will be able to sleep better at night.
Give incentives for well done work. Incentives are a great way to boost morale and productivity. If an employee goes above and beyond, show them that you see it and encourage it with some sort of bonus or gift. Leaders that do well don't pinch their pennies when good things happen.
Being a good leader takes work.; avoid any mistakes that ruin your plan. Mistakes are inevitable, so when they happen, make sure they are taken as a learning experience. Put these tips into action. You must act, believe and remain confident in your talents and ability to help.

It is cold this morning. My thermometer reads 1 degree, and it has warmed up with the rise of the sun! The forecast is minus 12 degrees tonight. On the news last night there was the story of a sightseeing expedition to the Antarctic being rescued from an icebound ship. Brrr.
How tenuous human life is on this planet! We exist within a very small range of habitable conditions. The pictures from the International Space Station remind us that the biosphere of this planet, which sustains all life, is a very thin layer. A good sized meteor could change all that. Just ask the dinosaurs.
My life is fragile, as are the lives of all those I love. A mutation in the genetic code of some cells can send cancer spreading throughout our bodies. This scourge will likely be cured in a generation or two. My grandchildren will hopefully look on cancer the way I look on polio. But for now, it is hovering threat.
I just read a report that says that there are over 100,000 preventable physician-caused deaths in hospitals every year. More than are killed in traffic accidents. It makes me choose my physicians very carefully.
As a pastor I have a front row seat to the fragility of human life. In response to this reality we can contract into a protective cocoon in order to extend our lives. Or we can flaunt the odds and live on the edge through extreme sports. (Not much chance of me doing that!)
My option is to simply live in the joy of knowing that our lives are fragile. Mortality is the beauty of human existence.
The other night we watched the movie The Bucket List, starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Come to think of it, perhaps that is what is prompting this blog. In the film Freeman mentions a survey which asked people whether they would want to know the date of their death. 96% said No.
Every day is a gift from God. This inhabitable planet is a miracle. I am a conscious being blessed to live briefly in this thin envelope of life. It is a wondrous gift. Every moment is an eternity. Every second is another sacred moment.
God has given humans the ability to be part of the miracle. We are the earth being aware of itself through these instruments of animal flesh. (The Hebrew word for "human" means "dirt.") We are conscious earth.
Perhaps the "conscious" part is what it means to be created in the image of God. No wonder God chose to be incarnated in Jesus. God wanted to get in on the fun!
God incarnates again and again in us. Christ in us, the hope of glory. The Holy Spirit living in us and through us. Christ living now in the Body of Christ. God incarnated in a multi-body organism called the Church. God peers through our eyes into the depths of the universe, wondering at the fragility of life.

|+41 44 633 66 87
|Computer Science
|Assistant Professor (Tenure Track)
|Machine Learning for Health Care
Number of participants limited to 150.
|5 credits
|G. Rätsch, J. Vogt, V. Boeva
|The course will review the most relevant methods and applications of Machine Learning in Biomedicine, discuss the main challenges they present and their current technical problems.
|During the last years, we have observed a rapid growth in the field of Machine Learning (ML), mainly due to improvements in ML algorithms, the increase of data availability and a reduction in computing costs. This growth is having a profound impact in biomedical applications, where the great variety of tasks and data types enables us to get benefit of ML algorithms in many different ways. In this course we will review the most relevant methods and applications of ML in biomedicine, discuss the main challenges they present and their current technical solutions.
|The course will consist of four topic clusters that will cover the most relevant applications of ML in Biomedicine:
1) Structured time series: Temporal time series of structured data often appear in biomedical datasets, presenting challenges as containing variables with different periodicities, being conditioned by static data, etc.
2) Medical notes: Vast amount of medical observations are stored in the form of free text, we will analyze stategies for extracting knowledge from them.
3) Medical images: Images are a fundamental piece of information in many medical disciplines. We will study how to train ML algorithms with them.
4) Genomics data: ML in genomics is still an emerging subfield, but given that genomics data are arguably the most extensive and complex datasets that can be found in biomedicine, it is expected that many relevant ML applications will arise in the near future. We will review and discuss current applications and challenges.
|Prerequisites / Notice
|Data Structures & Algorithms, Introduction to Machine Learning, Statistics/Probability, Programming in Python, Unix Command Line
Relation to Course 261-5100-00 Computational Biomedicine: This course is a continuation of the previous course with new topics related to medical data and machine learning. The format of Computational Biomedicine II will also be different. It is helpful but not essential to attend Computational Biomedicine before attending Computational Biomedicine II.

While word had been leaking out that Ohio State forward Kaleb Wesson would again be going through the NBA evaluation process, on Wednesday, the rising senior announced on Twitter that he intends to sign with an agent, however, that doesn't officially close the door on his collegiate basketball career.
Turning dreams to reality Thanks for your support BuckeyeNation #TN4L pic.twitter.com/aQcsxIsovG— Kaleb Wesson (@Elite_Hooper99) April 1, 2020
As The columbus Dispatch's Adam Jardy reported earlier this week, with the new rules in place for the NBA Draft evaluation process, Wesson can sign with a certified agent, and then come back to school, but the tenor of his post sure makes it sound like his time in the Scarlet and Gray is over.
In three seasons with the Buckeyes, the younger of OSU's two Wesson brothers averaged 12.9 points and 7 rebounds per game. In the pandemic shortened 2019-20 season, he was putting up 14 points and 9.3 boards per contest.
Wesson's departure puts the Buckeyes in a position, where they will likely be looking to a hopefully healthy Kyle Young as their primary big man. With the transfer of Alonzo Gaffney, rising sophomore E.J. Liddell and junior transfers Justice Sueing and Seth Towns are the next "big" men available for Chris Holtmann's squad. However, Liddell and Sueing are just 6'6 and Towns is 6'7.
Holtmann has spoken about liking to be led by veterans, but he is losing a major upperclassman piece in Kaleb Wesson. His brother Andre Wesson was the only senior on the '19-20 team.
Kaleb explored the NBA Draft following the 2018-19 season, but chose to return to Columbus for his junior season. In doing so, he lost upwards of 35 pounds (had you heard about that? I don't think anyone talked about it at all this season), and dramatically improved his shooting abilities, hitting on 42.5 percent of his 106 three-point attempts on the campaign.
Good luck to Kaleb next season, whether that is at the next level, or back in C-Bus.

Stunning CGI animation reveals how a black hole is formed
This episode follows scientists investigating some of the earliest stars in the universe
The Universe contains over a hundred billion galaxies, each containing a hundred billion stars or more. Where did it all come from?
A planet so bizarre that some scientists now think it almost became a star – our sun's secret twin.
How much more is there to the Universe than meets the eye?
Could it be that a missing, giant ninth planet orbits our sun in the dark reaches of space?
Jupiter is a planet of extremes. Twice the size of all the other planets in our solar system combined it's formed almost entirely from Hydrogen just like the sun. Yet little is known about this super sized world.
Now NASA have launched a billion dollar space mission called JUNO to explore Jupiter's long-held secrets. We join JUNO scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to unlock the mystery of intense radiation belts around the planet. In New York a dramatic experiment with molten rock reveals what could be supercharging this deadly radiation.
Conditions in space around Jupiter are extreme – but delving into the planets mysterious clouds exposes an even more dangerous and violent world. Stunning CGI animation will rip open the planets gassy surface to uncover an astonishing phenomenon - a rainstorm of solid diamonds. A wonder that sounds impossible – but that scientists in Wales think they can recreate on earth.
Alongside churning cyclones that rage for centuries and pressures so extreme they crush hydrogen gas into a metal this journey to unpack Jupiter's riddles reveals a planet of unimaginable ferocity. It's a planet so bizarre that some scientists now think it almost became a star – our sun's secret twin.

Sarah Iuliano talks contraception misconceptions and other safe sex myths
Fact: sex can be a lot of fun. Fact: safe sex using a barrier method is even more fun. Yet another fact: 'safe sex' is a misnomer. Using protection, namely condoms, largely reduces your risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections and – if you're hetero – pregnancy, but it's not fail-safe. FYI, 'safer sex' is a better term and it has a lovely ring to it, you can roll the 'r' tacked on. RrrrRrRRr!
Misconceptions about safe sex may have penetrated your mind and underpinned your love-making. Whether you love consensual sexy-times with men, women or people identifying otherwise, it's time to confront a few safe sex myths to arm you with the facts to best protect yourself.
Myth #1: Condoms prevent all sexually transmitted infections
If you – unlike many Australians – use a barrier method every shag, give yourself a pat on the back. Condoms are super effective in preventing STIs and the same can be said when they're used in lieu of dental dams (which are hard to find offline.) However, using a condom correctly isn't foolproof. Several STIs, including genital herpes, warts and syphilis are spread via skin-to-skin contact, meaning areas not covered by your latex lifesavers can be exposed to them. Tip: always use a barrier method before there's any genital contact with your partner(s).
Myth #2: Non-penetrative sex acts don't need protection
STIs can be spread during oral sex, mutual masturbation and other acts. Family Planning NSW Health Promotion Officer Lisa Bogie, suggests condoms and dams for oral and disposable gloves for mutual masturbation. "These barrier methods of STI protection minimise the amount to skin-to-skin contact and stop the transfer of bodily fluids which occurs in pretty much all forms of sex, perhaps with the exception of Skype [sex]," Lisa said.
Lisa said it "can sound clinical but it doesn't have to be…have some fun when putting them on and experiment with different shapes and flavours." UoN Health Clinic physician Dr Carolyn Hackworthy, agrees, saying the long term effects of some STIs or pregnancy outlasts the throes of passion. "The consideration shown by protecting one's partner, (in addition to protecting yourself), could perhaps be interpreted as more emotionally intimate," Dr Hackworthy said.
Myth #3: You don't need to undergo STI testing if you don't have symptoms
Some STIs have obvious symptoms and some don't show any until their late stages, possibly resulting in pain or damage to the reproductive system. "If you're sexually active, it's important to visit your GP or Family Planning clinic for a sexual health check-up and STI test on a regular basis or whenever you change sexual partners," Lisa said. Ergo, by knowing your STI status, you're having safer sex.
Myth #4: If you're only sleeping with one partner, you don't need to use protection
A load of crappola, provided you haven't discussed:
- Undergoing STI testing to minimise your risk of transmitting/contracting an infection
- Contraception, if one of you could get pregnant
- The results of the aforementioned tests and contraception quest
- If you're mutually exclusive (if not, cool, but maybe use dem 'doms and dams)
Myth #5: Only people who have a lot of sex with a lot of partners can catch an STI
STIs are amoral. They affect all social classes, ethnicities, political persuasions and people engaging in sexual behaviours, regardless of their experience level. As Lisa sums up, "anyone who has a sexual history is at risk of having an STI".
If you need to have a chat about your sexual health, you can make an appointment with Family Planning NSW's Hunter St. clinic on (02) 4929 4485, or if you're under 24 years old, drop in Tuesdays and Wednesdays between midday and 5:30pm. Consider visiting one of UoN's medical centres, both services bulk bill for Medicare card holders.

Down By The River At DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel London – Docklands
Taking a boat on the River Thames to commute to work in London is no big deal. But taking a ferry across the river when you have nowhere in particular, to go just seems that extra special – especially when that ferry happens to be a private one, to and from a luxury hotel. It's just one of the many (complimentary) experiences offered by the new DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Docklands Riverside property.
The clever use of the river continues, as the hotel has its own private dry dock which is available for hire for both private and corporate functions. It is set in a former 17th-century wharf building with attractive and exposed brickwork design elements. It has a series of walkways that allows guests to find their way between the various parts of this venue. The warm chocolate chip cookie offered to guests as they check-in can be eaten while working your way around the building – a nice touch.
With it being a beautiful sunny evening, my guest and I decided to delay dinner in favour of making the most of the hotel's two terraces whilst sipping on a chilled glass of Prosecco. It was a great way of taking in the Canary Wharf skyline as it descended from light to dark. I could have spent a lot longer in the bar if it wasn't for being hungry. Although the in-house Columbia Restaurant does offer seasonal produce and barbecues on the outdoor terrace, I preferred to sit inside.
Being so close to the river, I decided to start off with seafood, and the Szechuan peppered squid took my fancy. The portion was quite big and I ended up sharing it with my guest Nicky so as not to ruin my main meal. Just as well. The spiced half chicken with garlic aioli and Columbia slaw was worth keeping room for. Again a large portion, but so deliciously succulent that I devoured the whole lot. Other grills include beef fillet, sirloin, rib-eye steak and salmon. They are all served with triple cooked chips, vine tomatoes and a choice of sauce such as béarnaise, peppercorn, mushroom, red wine, garlic butter and lemon butter. Burgers and other mains can also be picked from the rather extensive menu.
For special occasions, other eateries such as The Library and the Snug boast private dining and high-class experiences. Lighter bites can be ordered throughout the day on the terraces and the bar.
There are various sized rooms in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Docklands Riverside hotel, spanning the guest category to suites and executives. Our room – like the others – was contemporary in design, light and airy thanks to the floor to ceiling windows with all the mod-cons expected from a hotel of this calibre. But again with that river view, I preferred to take in my surroundings than distract myself with the benefits of modern technology.
Breakfast is as indulgent as the dinner with both continental and full English options available. But the showstopper for me was the muffins infused and topped with Nutella. I promised myself that I would take a visit to the hotel's gym if I allowed myself one. For the record, I did, but I have to admit that I took another muffin for my journey home.
I could have headed home by a bus and tube, but wanting to get back on the river again on another glorious day, I headed back to the private river ferry. As I said, there's just something indulgent about being on a river. I couldn't pass on that opportunity one more time.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Docklands Riverside – Where and How?
The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Docklands Riverside is located at 265 Rotherhithe St, London SE16 5HW, United Kingdom. For more information, or to make a reservation, visit doubletree3.hilton.com, or call +44 20 7231 1001.

Dr. Ahmed has helped me over the years. He is fair, ethical, and always professional. He is timely and doesn't cause me to wait long periods. I feel my needs are met, and he has my best interest at heart.
Dr. Ahmed allows me to participate fully in my treatment plan. I don't always agree with him, but we always manage to decide and are both OK. He is intelligent, personable, and has a good sense of humor.
Dr. Ahmed is a very caring doctor. It takes time to listen to his patients. The staff there is delightful, and the office is excellent.
At first, I had reservations about Dr. Syed Ahmed. I sometimes left his office feeling unassured, but I knew he was astute and competent. I decided today that I wholeheartedly trust him, his intelligence, his methods, and his recommendations. I think I had a pre-misconception about what was wrong with me, but I genuinely feel that he is setting me on the right path and direction. I hope that I will feel much better by continuing to see him and trying to implement his suggestions, advice, and wisdom. I am beginning to see that he is not only brilliant and knows what he is doing and why, but he also has a clear plan and intended outcome for my psychiatric care.

In 2013, developer M2 and Sega began releasing a series of 3D-enhanced ports for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan. Later that year, this series was localised for North American and European markets. The project caught people's attention immediately, because M2 are known to be emulation experts, and rather than just copy the ROMs and call it a night, each title has been re-coded from scratch with help from the games' original source codes.
For the console ports, M2 developed a custom-built "Giga Drive" emulator used for porting the Mega Drive/Genesis titles to the 3DS hardware while the arcade ports were developed using the original PCBs and cabinet hardware as reference. These games are an interesting part of the 3DS library and, as things currently stand, they will no longer be available for sale on the Nintendo eShop after March 2023, as Nintendo is closing down the store, and with that goes the only way to play a lot of these games. With that news in mind, I decided to write this article because I wanted to introduce people to these games while they still have a chance to purchase and play them. I've bought the entire Sega 3D Classics series as these games came out and I took the liberty of writing short reviews for each game.
3D Space Harrier – An arcade-perfect port of the original arcade game, Space Harrier is fast, frenetic and plays really well on the 3DS. You play as the Harrier, who flies across different planets throughout the Fantasy Zone and blasting enemies and obstacles in a rail shooter fashion. The Circle Pad moves Harrier easily and the 3D actually helps with dodging obstacles. This is the definitive version of Space Harrier because you can play this game anywhere, even on the toilet.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Super Hang-On – Super Hang-On is another coin-op classic and it performs surprisingly great on the 3DS as well. The 3D effect is great, thanks to Super Hang-On originally being developed using Super Scaler technology, which lends itself well to a third-dimensional field of view. Tilt controls are a fun way to play this game although it's optional, so button users shouldn't be upset at its implementation. The screen can be tilted too, replicating the arcade experience, but I find it distracting and thankfully that is optional as well.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Sonic the Hedgehog – The original Sonic in 3D. And no, I don't mean Sonic 3D Blast: this one is actually good (and surprisingly difficult) and while the CRT mode is a fun addition, it's not fun to look at. The 3D isn't intense, but it does make the backgrounds look better and the optional spin dash is a nice addition.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Altered Beast – It's Altered Beast in 3D. This is the Genesis port, as opposed to the arcade one. It's still not very fun, although Random Beast mode is a nice option I guess.
Recommended? No, unless you're trying to get all of the SEGA 3D Classics.
3D Ecco the Dolphin – Another Genesis game. Ecco is a beautiful, colourful game with an emphasis on exploration but it's also extremely difficult. For those who can't take the difficulty (like me), there's a Super Dolphin Mode which makes Ecco impervious to damage and drowning so the player can explore and finish the game at their own pace.
Recommended? Maybe. This game is a novelty but I'm sure the difficulty and the non-traditional gameplay will turn off some folks.
3D Galaxy Force II – This game is the dark horse of this series. Galaxy Force II uses some of the best 3D I've ever seen in a 3DS game and the game itself is extremely fun to play. Note that this isn't a port of the weak Genesis version. This is a port of the original coin-op, with enhancements such as extra energy for your ship, Circle Pad Pro support for the throttle controls, and of course, the 3D, which really helps with the tunnel stages. Buy it.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master – Another Genesis port, this time one of the Shinobi games. Like Sonic, it's a straight port with nicer backgrounds although the controls can be redone to your comfort, which is a plus for hand-to-hand combat. The music is rad, too.
Recommended? Maybe. If you like action games, sure. It's quite challenging.
3D Streets of Rage – Another Genesis game, this time a beat 'em up game that can be played with two players. The 3D is serviceable; it can help with landing hits, and Yuzo Koshiro's music is always welcome in my house. Includes a "Fists of Death" mode where you can kill enemies with one punch.
Recommended? Yes. It may not be Streets of Rage 2, but it's still a fun game.
3D After Burner II – Another fun coin-op classic, you pilot a F-14 Tomcat and live out your Top Gun fantasies by soar through blue skies and blasting your enemies with a salvo of missiles. If you like fast aerial action with amazing 3D graphics, After Burner II will satisfy. With gyroscope, touch screen, and Circle Pad Pro support, it's the definitive version of the game barring the original sit-down arcade machine.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Fantasy Zone: Opa-Opa Bros. – A port of the arcade shoot 'em up, Fantasy Zone is both cutesy and challenging. Playing as the sentient spacecraft Opa-Opa, he flies through various worlds and shoots down baddies and bases until the boss shows up. Gold can be collected after gunning down baddies and bases and bosses. Assisting Opa-Opa are shops where you can upgrade him with better guns, better bombs, more speed and more lives, provided you have enough gold. Aside from the 3D graphics, additions include a coin stock for future games where you can buy the best weapons as soon as possible, a stage select, rapid-fire buttons, base markers to indicate where to find remaining bases to shoot, and Upa-Upa Mode, where you play as Opa-Opa's brother with no shops and a different ending. You'll have to unlock that last mode, though.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Fantasy Zone II W – Unlike the original game, Fantasy Zone II was originally released for the 8-bit Master System. However, this version is a port of a 16-bit arcade-style remake originally created for the PlayStation 2 SEGA AGES collection as Fantasy Zone II DX. M2 is just that cool. Fantasy Zone II W contains two parallel sets of levels that can be accessed through warp zones. With more levels you get a greater challenge. Bright levels are normal while dark levels don't contain visible shops and are slightly harder. There is an endless mode, called "Link Loop Land" where you play as Opa-Opa's brother Upa-Upa and you start out with a fully-loaded kit as you gun down baddies, bases and bosses for lots and lots of gold. Unlike the first game, you don't need to unlock this last mode.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Out Run – Out Run is a "cruising" game, not a racing game. Like Super Hang-On, Out Run is developed with Super Scaler technology, which creates a pseudo-3D effect when driving down the road. This time, though, Out Run is true 3D and it's beautiful. I'm a fan of the FM synth tunes you can select before each game and this version adds a few bonus tracks not present in the arcade original. You can also toggle between manual gear shift or automatic transmission. Clearing each route unlocks optional upgrades for your not-Ferrari. Yes, the car sprite no longer has the Ferrari logo and the chassis is slightly modified to not look like the Testarossa Spider, which is a shame but ultimately understandable because Sega no longer has the Ferrari license. It's still an excellent game.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Thunder Blade – This is the arcade version and not the "Super" Genesis version. You pilot an attack helicopter and fire and bomb enemy tanks, aircraft and battleships indiscriminately. Since it's a video game, things like innocent bystanders and war crimes are not an issue. The 3D effect is quite nice. Supports the Circle Pad Pro, which does make piloting the chopper easier, and gyro controls, which makes piloting the chopper harder in my opinion.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Gunstar Heroes – A run & gun platform game for the Sega Genesis that's somewhat of a darling among Sega fans. Developed by Treasure, Gunstar Heroes is a fast and frenetic game with a wide variety of guns and a Mega Man-style stage select. Included in this version are 3D graphics, a Mega Life mode (you start with twice the vitality compared to the original), and Gunslinger mode that lets you cycle through all four guns with the shoulder buttons. It also supports two players.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 – It's Sonic 2, now in 3D. Also features the optional ring keeper mode (as seen on Sonic Mania) and Super Sonic mode, where you can play as Super Sonic without having to collect all the chaos emeralds.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Streets of Rage 2 – Kick all kinds of butt in this classic beat 'em up game, with bigger character graphics, bigger stages, and more moves than its predecessor. The soundtrack is just as amazing as its predecessor, although some fans believe that's debatable. Included is a casual mode and a rage relay mode, which lets you cycle through the four main characters between deaths as you play the game. It also supports two players.
Recommended? Yes.
3D Power Drift – An arcade racing game using the Super Scaler technology. You race against eleven other racers on crazy winding tracks and try to achieve third place or better, or else it's game over. It's a lot more hectic than the other Super Scaler racing games, and unlike the others, this one's stuck in the Sega 3D Classics Collection. It's a shame because Japan does have a standalone version on the eShop.
Recommended? Maybe. I personally found it disorientating.
3D Puyo Puyo 2 – This is the arcade port and another game that's sold standalone in Japan but stuck in the Sega 3D Classics Collection in the West. It's also Japanese language-only, but the system menus are in English so it's easy to figure out regardless whether or not you know Japanese. An incredibly addictive puzzle game, you go head to head with opponents and pop Puyos using chains and combos until one's side is filled with garbage Puyos. With the new offset rule, you can send back garbage Puyos provided you counter their combos with your combos, making it extremely competitive. Includes both local and online play, provided each player has the game.
Recommended? Yes. It sucks that it's not a standalone game in western eShops though.
3D Fantasy Zone II (Sega Master System) – It's the original Master System edition of Fantasy Zone II, ported with additional 3D effects. It's a bonus game in the Sega 3D Classics Collection and is therefore not standalone. It's neat, but the W version is superior in my opinion.
Recommended? Yes, provided you already own the Sega 3D Classics Collection.
3D Maze Walker (Sega Master System) – Another Master System game that's included in the Sega 3D Classics Collection and also isn't sold as a standalone version. What's neat about this inclusion is that Maze Walker was originally one of those Master System games that supported the 3D glasses. Trek across labyrinths, discover weapons, fight monsters, and search for keys to move on to the next stage. Watching your player character jump in 3D is an amusing effect but it's an extremely basic game. It's a novelty and not much else.
Recommended? Maybe, provided you already own the Sega 3D Classics Collection. Otherwise No
These Sega 3D Classics are well-made and while not all of them are great, it's cool to play classic Sega games anywhere, especially with the way that the 3D enhances some of them. You may be lucky to find the cartridge-based collection that was released at some point, and some of the games above are exclusive to that version, but even if you can't find it, be sure to pick up what you can, while you still can. Remember, there's only a year left before all of this is gone for good.

Islam is one of Africa's most widely practiced faiths on the continent. Almost one-third of the world's Muslim population is in Africa. During the early 7th century, Africa became the first continent to receive the wide spread of Islam from Southwestern Asia.
How, then, did this religion penetrate the vast continent of Africa?
According to the oral tradition of the Arabs, Islam had its first establishment in Africa as a result of the persecution in Arab peninsula; this made them flee for their lives. During this period, Muslims sought refuge in the present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea, after they had crossed Somalia and Djibouti.
Subsequently, many Islamic traders and scholars flooded the continent for greener pastures in search of new opportunities to explore Africa.
Islam in Africa had a turbulent history in the early centuries of its existence. Many societies saw reforming movements, and dynasties clashed and succeeded each other.
Many leaders focused on trade routes security into gold-producing areas in Sub-Saharan Africa to gain power. These leaders also converted to Islam, giving them an advantage and influence in the trade with the Arabians.
Islamic rulers expanded their rule through this influence and took over more African territories. Mansa Musa, The Gold King Of Mali, is an example of one such Islamic leader. Islam dominated the Mediterranean world in the last quarter of the 11th century.
By the 1880s, Islam had fully been established in one-third of the continent.
Most Muslims in Africa are Sunni Muslims. African ethnicities in the North, East and West of Africa consider Islam as their traditional religion.
The practice of Islam on the continent has not been the same ever since, and it is constantly being reshaped by widespread socio-political and economic factors.
Islam in Africa has often been adapted to African cultural contexts and belief systems, forming Africa's orthodoxies.

While stencils are usually associated with silkscreen or serigraphy printing to hold back ink being forced through the mesh on to a substrate it also possible to use a stencil to force a resist through a mesh on to etching plate. In this early tools test two negative images of a freecom 2007 hard disc are made on paper from a digital file and exposed on to 100 mesh screen. They are negative in order a resist is printed on the plate leaving the plate and aquatint exposed to take the acid bite and create a positive inked and printed image.

On this Good Friday eve, when according to the Biblical account Jesus shared with his disciples the Last Supper, I follow up the personal story from Jan. 21, 2021—buying with, and for, my wife the Thomas Nelson-published, Leathersoft "classic verse-by-verse, center-column, reference Bible" (New King James Version). Five days later, when an online video referred to Matthew 18:1, Anne asked about the narrative text being in red and Christ's words in black. I looked. That's not right.
So I perused and found that on some pages Jesus' quotes were the expected "red letter", while on others text was swapped black with the rest. Mmmm, what to do? I considered calling the Christian bookstore from where we purchased the Bible. But given how negatively SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2)/COVID-19 lockdowns have affected small businesses and being a printing error, I contacted the publisher.

TTAC is experiencing heavy censorship on many social media channels since we've been targeted by the mainstream media sellouts, social media bullies, and political turncoats. Be sure to get the TRUTH by subscribing to our email list. It's free.
A recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) says that air pollution is responsible for killing an estimated 600,000 children each year. According to the report, 93% of children live in environments with air pollution that exceeds WHO guidelines. This amounts to nearly 1.8 billion children whose health and development are at risk each day.
While this is a growing and global problem, children are the most vulnerable among us. The report estimates that more than 25% of deaths in children under five are directly or indirectly related to environmental risks. Exposure and negative effects are particularly acute in low- and middle-income countries, especially African, South-East Asian, and Eastern Mediterranean nations. Something like 90% of deaths linked to air pollution occur in these countries.
Air pollution has been linked with many adverse effects such as stillbirth, respiratory disease, obesity, lowered IQ and stunted cognitive development, and cancer. The WHO study focused primarily on particulate matter in the single-digit micrometers, which include toxins like sulfate and black carbon. These dangerous toxins can lead to strokes, heart disease, pneumonia, and lung cancer. Children exposed to excessive toxins are also at greater risk for developing chronic disease as adults.
The study looked at both ambient and household air pollution. Household air pollution is caused primarily by polluting fuels for cooking and heating, smoking, and other household toxins. According to the study, poverty can compound the effects of air pollution due to limited access to information, treatment, and other health care resources. Dirty cooking fuels, like charcoal, are estimated to cause over 3.5 million premature deaths every year.
Ambient air quality is a more complex problem to tackle and will require participation from governments and corporations to reduce the toxic load on our environment. The best ways to combat ambient air pollution are lobbying politicians to prioritize environmental toxins and "voting with your dollars" by not supporting companies that prioritize profit while poisoning our resources.
Air pollution is now responsible for more deaths each year than tobacco, prompting the WHO to call air pollution "the new tobacco". Director general of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said "The world has turned the corner on tobacco. Now it must do the same for the 'new tobacco' – the toxic air that billions breathe every day. No one, rich or poor, can escape air pollution. It is a silent public health emergency."
In a statement to The Guardian, Dr. Ghebreyesus summarized the implications of the report:
Despite this epidemic of needless, preventable deaths and disability, a smog of complacency pervades the planet. This is a defining moment and we must scale up action to urgently respond to this challenge."
He goes on to say that "A clean and healthy environment is the single most important precondition for ensuring good health. By cleaning up the air we breathe, we can prevent or at least reduce some of the greatest health risks."
Unfortunately, while access to clean fuel and other household products is increasing, the report warns that "improvements are not even keeping pace with population growth in many parts of the world." Nine out of the world's ten most polluted cities can be found in India, one of the most populated countries on the planet. Much of this pollution is due to stubble burning, used by farmers to clear fields after harvest, and the increased use of oil lamps and fireworks during Diwali, a Hindu festival that takes place each fall. In a 2017 study published by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago estimates that residents of Delhi, India's capital city, could live up to 9 years longer if air pollution was reduced to within WHO standards.
Considering this study, detoxification should be front and center in protecting our health. Our bodies have powerful, built-in mechanisms for removing toxins. A cleanse or detox regimen simply helps these mechanisms function at their best. Cleaning chemicals, environmental pollution, pharmaceutical drugs, and processed foods all contribute to a massive burden on the body's natural cleansing systems. Keep your family safe and treat your body like the temple it is by reducing toxic chemicals in your home and supporting natural detoxification.
Toxic overload is one of the leading causes of cancer. The Truth About Detox can help activate your body's natural cancer-fighting system.

The Lead
Pa. Supreme Court sides with Philly over Trump campaign in ballot-counting dispute
In a 5-2 decision, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court backed Philadelphia's policies on observers of vote counting Tuesday, overturning a lower state appeals court.
The ruling, written by Justice Debra Todd, argued that the city had broken no state law by keeping watchers from both Democratic and Republican parties away from election workers processing ballots.
The observers were given an area to roam freely, but were blocked from entering the entire ballot counting area due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19 in the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where the count was taking place.
Days after election day, the Trump campaign and Philadelphia officials agreed to a compromise in federal court. But Todd argued that the issue was not moot because ballots were still being canvassed.
Todd wrote in the majority opinion, backed by all five justices elected as Democrats, that watchers were not deprived of their ability to observe the counting process.
"The Board's regulations as applied herein were reasonable in that they allowed candidate representatives to observe the Board conducting its activities as prescribed under the Election Code," Todd said.
Any information that could not be gleaned from a distance, Todd argued, the observers were not entitled to under the state's Election Code, as it would allow them to unlawfully challenge ballots.
The decision also overturned a Commonwealth Court ruling by Judge Christine Fizzano Cannon that mandated that observers must be allowed within six feet of the election workers counting ballots.
It is the one of at least a dozen or more court rulings that has gone against President Donald Trump and his campaign .But the issue has still made it into the national discourse over counting ballots.
Trump's campaign reused the issue in a federal lawsuit, asking for a judge to halt Pennsylvania from certifying its election results because ballots were counted without adequate oversight. That claim was later dropped.
Republican lawmakers in Harrisburg also have cited concerns about poll watchers as they pushed for a legislative look at the 2020 election, which will likely come next year.
The Pa. House will review the 2020 election, but it's unlikely it will change the results
In a dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Thomas Saylor noted that an "intense after-action review of the no-excuse mail-in voting regime, which is in its infancy in Pennsylvania," was about to begin.
As such, Saylor wrote, it is not likely that "the Court's present ruling, relative to governance that is quite likely to be substantially refined, will be of any importance in the future."
And in a final note, Saylor called the Trump campaign argument that ballots counted before the compromise on poll watchers should be set aside or thrown out "misguided" short of "demonstrated fraud."
"Accordingly, to the degree that there is a concern with protecting or legitimizing the will of the Philadelphians who cast their votes while candidate representatives were unnecessarily restrained at the Convention Center, I fail to see that there is any real issue," Saylor concluded.

Video Transcript
Treating cervical herniated disc depends on whether or not that disc is symptomatic or not. So, not all herniated discs in the cervical spine and other parts of the spine necessarily are causing any symptoms – often they're not. Certainly cervical herniated discs – like other discs – can cause symptoms. When they do, the treatment is focused around reducing the inflammation and the swelling from around the disc and the nerve root that they're often irritating and then making sure that we adjust the biomechanics to help take the pressure off of the disc and the nerve so that the same stresses aren't going through them so that symptoms don't recur.
Often this begins with physical therapy, with exercise, especially with the neck with posture – with getting the head back over the neck to help take the pressure off of the neck, off of the spine so that takes pressure off the discs and the nerves.
Alongside physical therapy we'll sometimes give oral medications, depending on the severity of the symptoms, in order to reduce the symptoms, to an extent to alleviate the inflammation in order to help someone participate with physical therapy and just control the symptoms while they're getting better.
Within physical therapy, there are multiple passive modalities in addition to the exercises, such as manual traction, TENS units, electrical stimulation, ultrasound – different passive modalities that are both designed to relieve the symptoms and also to help take away the inflammation.
When the symptoms are persistent despite physical therapy exercises – despite some time – or if the symptoms are interfering with a person's ability to participate with physical therapy, then sometimes an epidural steroid injection can be very helpful to take away the inflammation and the swelling from around the disc and the nerve root, which doesn't fix a disc herniation, by the way. It doesn't make a herniation go away nor does it mask anything. What it does is it takes away the inflammation and that opens up a window of opportunity during which a person can stretch and strengthen and address the posture and the biomechanics in order to tweak the biomechanics so the same stresses aren't still going through the disc and the nerve so that the symptoms don't recur.
If the symptoms are persistent and interfering with quality of life, in those rare instances when physical therapy, time, injections aren't taking away the symptoms, it's certainly appropriate to have a conversation with a spinal surgeon about the different surgical alternatives. Often discectomy is a relatively small surgery – it is still a surgery – in order to take away some of the disc and decompress the nerve root.

An initiative to develop 21st century regional food systems
(Jump-started by a US$10 billion federal stimulus COVID package)
Keywords:Regional Food Systems, Resilience, Sustainability, Farmland, Economic Paradigm, Food Policy, Infrastructure
First paragraphs:
The design and development of a rejuvenated and re-created regional food system for the USA are necessary now. COVID-19 has effectively unmasked the fragility of the global industrial food system. The ensuing crisis has provided us with a rare opportunity to pause, reflect, and imagine a more resilient and sustainable food system—one that is more balanced and just, one that is capable of withstanding shocks and disruptions, and one that better provides for people's health and community economic security as well as the planet's well-being.
A nationwide network of regional food systems is not only possible; its development needs to be stimulated and accelerated, as inspired by the 2010 report "The 25% Shift" (Masi, Schaller, & Shuman, 2010). This report analyzed the 16-county Northeast Ohio region around Cleveland and the impact of meeting a quarter (25%) of all demand for its food from the region itself. . . .

In cancer therapy, drug delivery is a complex process that aims to transit the cargo to the destination with as little damage to the normal tissue as possible. In the last decade, tremendous development and research on nanomedicine have been exploring an ideal system with efficient drug transportation and release property. For this end, series of barriers need to be circumvented by nanomedicine, including systemic barriers, such as biosurface adsorption, phagocytic clearance, bloodstream washing, interstitial pressure, degradation, as well as intracellular barriers, such as cell membrane reorganization and internalization, endo/lysosomal escape, cytosolic or subcellular localization. Rather than being random, these barriers follow a specific spatial-temporal sequence. Therefore, the nanocarriers have to be endowed with characteristics that are adaptive to particular biological milieu on systemic and intracellular levels. To this end, we reviewed the correlations between the spatial-temporal sequences of drug delivery and nanocarrier characteristics in cancer therapy, as well as strategies to achieve efficient drug delivery upon both systemic and intracellular levels.
