Acknowledging risk migration in recycling
How can science and policy deal with the uncertainty of the potential risks the recycling poses to human health and the environment?
The main idea behind the Circular Economy is that materials are reused for long periods of time; much more than is already the case. In the current system, recycling undergoes a process of downcycling. This means that materials and products are designed to have one single life, so that when they are recycled, they lose valuable properties such as quality and functionality every time they are reused. The problem is that chemicals need to be added to recycled products to improve their quality each time they are reused. This process is polluting, and recycled materials often contain more additives than the original product. It is no surprise then that recycling reduces the quality of the materials, as it is difficult to manufacture the same product again and again.
With plans to recycle more as part of new Circular Economy initiatives, closing the loop on a global scale presents new uncertainties. An increase in recycled products including plastic, paper and cardboard, lubricants and other products can cause unpredictable health and safety problems. This is important when considering that the recycling of products contains toxic chemicals. If waste re-enters the economy as either new products made with recycled materials or as secondary raw materials to be traded, it may create a double exposure to toxic substances.
Take Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) as an example. These chemicals are commonly found in furniture and building materials, and are increasingly seen in electronics as metal components become replaced by plastic. BFRs are almost entirely banned in countries across the European Union, as they can lead to health problems such as lower mental, psychomotor and physical development. Nevertheless, they are still persistent on the market. BFRs appear in products imported from countries such as China, where e-waste is on the rise and recycling regulations and policies are less stringent. Plastics recovered from electronics contain PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers), one of the most commonly used BFRs. PBDEs generally end up in recycled plastics because these toxic, bio-accumulative and persistent substances cannot be easily separated from plastic waste streams. In addition to direct migration of BFRs from waste materials, there is evidence that higher brominated flame retardants can undergo degradation and de-bromination during waste treatment. In some instances, this may lead to the formation of more toxic and bioavailable compounds. In effect, PBDE would be released into the environment and wildlife, endangering human health, two times during a product lifecycle.
Similar risk migration concerns have been raised for paper recycling. Several studies have demonstrated that paper, cardboard and waste paper potentially contain a significant number of chemicals, some of which have been classified as 'critical'. This is because they are likely to remain in the solid matrix during paper recycling and end up in new products where their concentration may be even higher when compared to virgin fibre-based products (for example in case of phthalates and phenols). One of the most controversial examples refers to the detection of small quantities of BPS (bisphenol-S) in paper products. These are often made with recycled content such as napkins, flyers, and magazines. Bisphenol A and S are chemical compounds used as strengtheners in polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins in water pipes, coating on the inside of food and beverage cans and in making thermal paper (used in sales receipts, for example). These compounds are toxic to human health, due to their hormone disrupting properties, and potentially to the environment. The amount of BPA released during recycling can vary widely, depending on the processes used, but recent studies suggest that BPS, like BPA, is transferred from thermal paper that has been recycled and accumulates in the recycled products.
The uncertainties created by the Circular Economy have to be acknowledged both by policy and by science. With regard to policy, the European Commission is issuing new regulations regarding the use and recycling of these toxic compounds. This approach can be seen as a precautionary approach to policy making.
But what is the response and responsibility of the scientific community? One possible answer to this challenge is uncertainty assessment, which Jeroen van der Sluijs is developing together with the Health and Environment Surveillance Committee of the Netherlands Health Council. The purpose of this work is to conduct a quality check in terms of uncertainty on potential side-effects of policy measures in order to alert the authorities to important links between recycling, the environment and human health. The role of science in this case is not only that of producing facts, but also that of communicating uncertainty.
From the MAGIC Nexus Project we will keep investigating how governance in the context of uncertainty leads to the emergence of new roles for science and for policy.

In recent months, at least one state-certified cannabis lab in Oregon has noticed a "huge reduction in the use of pesticides" in the samples they receive from dispensaries for testing.
Henry Grimmett, president of Portland's GreenHaus Analytical Labs, credits Oregon's increasingly stringent but controversial testing standards for the "remarkable" pesticide plummet.
"A year ago, when we first started testing product, we were finding very high rates of pesticides in the neighbourhood of 70 percent to 80 percent of the samples. Now we're finding in the neighbourhood of 20 percent," Grimmett told Civilized.
"I think the health and safety of the people who use cannabis is extremely important, and I think the role of the lab is crucial in that. I'm quite happy certification is here because that means [dispensaries] can't just go to a lab that will pass them."
Grimmett is, of course, speaking of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission's (OLCC) newly enforced requirement that dispensaries have their cannabis products tested only by labs certified by the Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ORELAP.)
It's been a controversial decision among dispensary operators, some of whom say the stricter regulations resulted in higher costs and longer waits for new product since coming into effect October 1.
In a recent interview with Civilized, Matt Bailey, co-owner of Portland dispensary Local Leaf, said: "October 1st was pretty much when all the outdoor crops were coming down and it just kind of slammed the testing facilities, which didn't seem ready for that big push."
He added that since dispensaries weren't allowed to purchase new products following the announcement of the new regulations in late spring, roughly 75 percent of his selection was cut after the Oct. 1 deadline, with a three-and-a-half week hold on new products; not to mention that the price to test certain products saw a pretty dramatic hike.
While Grimmett admits that the new rule resulted in a rough couple of weeks (there are currently only 18 ORELAP-certified labs in Oregon, of which 15 are licensed by the OLCC), he believes "we're through the worst of it" and adds that the difficulties were "a small price to pay" for the amped up safety of Oregon's cannabis industry as a whole.
"The fact that it became law on October 1, the same time the harvest came in and the same time a bunch of other things happened, did put a strain on the system. But we all knew what that date meant, and we all had the opportunity to gear up," said Grimmett, adding that in terms of the price hike (a product that used to cost $100 for testing, for example, may now cost up to $300), "$100 was a bogus price all along."
"My cost to do the testing was $190 to $200 per test and I wasn't even testing all the pesticides on the current list… and I don't think it was a secret at all that the price would go up when these requirements came into place."
Moisture, potency and pesticide levels are just a few of the ORELAP-mandated tests conducted on samples of cannabis flowers, edibles and extracts at GreenHaus Analytical Labs.
"The main thing that differentiates [Oregon] is, in fact, the [ORELAP] certification. When we do our testing, it's not with a strip of paper or colour-changing dye… it's truly analytical, it's truly science based and it's fully validated testing," said Grimmett.
It's a system said to position Oregon as the state with the strictest cannabis standards in the industry; a bar Grimmett foresees other states looking to meet in months and years to come.
"I think there's a certain level of comfort in knowing that [Oregon's system] is not about somebody trying to make a fast buck, but actually protecting the health and safety of the citizens of the state," said Grimmett.
"I think those things speak well for Oregon and I think those things will in fact be repeated by other states."

HONG KONG (REUTERS) - Fabio Cannavaro has been appointed head coach of seven-time Chinese Super League champions Guangzhou Evergrande, the club announced on Thursday (Nov 9).
The Italian replaces Luiz Felipe Scolari, who left following the completion of his contract, having guided Evergrande to the last three CSL titles and the 2015 Asian Champions League crown.
"Due to the needs of the club's strategic development and, after thorough research, we have decided to appoint Fabio Cannavaro as head coach," the club said on its official social media outlet.
Cannavaro returns to the club having previously spent a seven-month stint with Guangzhou when he took over from Marcello Lippi in late 2014, only to be fired in June the following year and replaced by Scolari.
The 44-year-old World Cup-winning defender has since rebuilt his coaching career, taking over at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia before returning to China to steer Tianjin Quanjian to the second division title last year.
Cannavaro led Tianjin to third place in the just-completed CSL season, guiding them to the Asian Champions League for the first time, before resigning at the start of the week.

Reachers and lifters help make what was out of reach, close at hand. Reachers pick up small items that have fallen and this helps when bending over is difficult. Reachers can also grab an item off the shelf without having to get the step stool. Lifters make moving your leg or foot possible, get in and out of a wheelchair, or check for foot health. The Duro-Med lightweight aluminum reacher has a magnetic tip. The TrashStik reacher from Reid Industries allows users to pick up objects without bending over. It picks up to 5 pounds and has an anodized aluminum shaft that is both durable and rust-proof.
Express Medical Supply carries more mobility aids. The door knob extender from Duro-Med converts standard doorknobs into having lever-opening action. It can be mounted for left or right hand positioning and complete access to the keyhole and lock is still available. Stander manufactures curve grab bars, a handybar assist aid and a car caddie. The security pole is tension-mounted from the floor to the ceiling and allows users to sit down and stand up easier. The handybar assist aid makes getting out of a vehicle easier with an ergonomic rubber grip that's ready to use in seconds. The car caddie is made of nylon and installs in just seconds.
Transfer benches help you shower or bathe independently. Ideal for those with limited mobility, the transfer bench has a 300 pound weight capacity and comes with a backrest that adjusts for both left and right-facing tubs. The suction cup feet help provide a secure grip to the tub floor. Wheelchair ramps can be placed across doorway thresholds or into other vehicles.

IAS 2017: Conference on HIV Pathogenesis
Treatment and Prevention
Paris, France
July 23-26 2017
More and earlier cardiovascular events (CVE) and shorter overall survival (OS) in HIV-positive patients (HIV+) compared to the general population differ by sex
"HIV+ males had the highest mortality rate and a higher risk to die or to get CVE at younger age than the general population."
Reported by Jules Levin
9th IAS Science 2017 July 23-26 Paris, France
Stefan Esser1, Marina Arendt2, Christina Schulze1, Volker Holzendorf3, Norbert H. Brockmeyer4, Robert Jablonka, Karl-Heinz Jockel2, Raimund Erbel2, Nico Reinsch5,6 on behalf of HIV HEART Study Group and Heinz Nixdorf Recall Investigative Group 1 Clinic of Dermatology, Department of Venereology, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany 2 Institute for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (IMIBE), University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany
3 Clinical Trial Centre Leipzig - Coordination Centre for Clinical Trials (ZKS Leipzig - KKS), University Leipzig, Germany 4 Germany Clinic of Dermatology, Venerology and Allergology, Center for Sexuell Health and Medizin Ruhruniversity Bochum, Bochum, Germany 5 Department of Internal Medicine I and Cardiology, Devision of Electrophysiology, Alfried Krupp Hospital, Essen, Germany 6 University Witten/ Herdecke, Witten, Germany
The OS of HIV+ should be adapted to the general population by antiretroviral treatment. But in the aging HIV+ CVE and strokes became more frequent.
We compare CVE, stroke and OS of HIV+ outpatients of the HIV HEART study (HIVH) and of HIV-negative controls of the population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall study (HNR), both recruited from the German Ruhr area. HIVH cases with HNR controls are matched in a 1:2 ratio by sex and age. CVE are defined by myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. Cox proportional hazard models are used to investigate the impact of study affiliation on OS, CVE and stroke with time from study start to event or last contact. We adjust for age, active smoking and for men additionally for diabetes.
Descriptions are shown in table 1. We observe adjusted Hazard ratios (HR) of 3.5 (95%-CI: 2.2; 5.5) for CVE for male HIVH vs. HNR and for stroke of 1.8 (0.8; 3.9) for male and 2.2 (0.1; 42.9) for female HIVH vs. HNR. The OS in male and female HIVH vs. HNR has an HR of 3.9 (2.5; 6.1) and 1.7 (0.2; 12.3), respectively. The smoking status is different in male subjects (p< 0.0001) and the Framingham Risk score (FRS) is different in female subjects (p< 0.0001). Men differ highly in variables related to blood fats and BMI, women differ in terms of blood pressure and heartrate which is also displayed in the highly different FRS.
HIV+ males had an increased incidence of CVE compared with HIV-negative controls in spite of similar FRS at baseline in contrast to HIV+ females with higher FRS than controls but comparable rates of CVE. HIV+ males had the highest mortality rate and a higher risk to die or to get CVE at younger age than the general population.

Dermatology Information and Resources
Bacterial Vaginosis is a bacteria overgrowth in the vagina causing an imbalance of bacteria and vaginal inflammation.
Common Symptoms: Abnormal changes in vaginal discharge including frequency, color, and strong odor are key indicators of bacterial vaginosis. Noticing the appearance of white, gray, or green vaginal discharge along with a 'fishy' odor is common. A woman may also experience pain, itching, or a burning sensation in and around the vaginal area, or burning during urination.[1]
Causes: Women in their reproductive years and are sexually active are most likely to experience bacterial vaginosis, but women who have completed menopause can have it also. Bacterial vaginosis is not sexually transmitted and but can be triggered by sexual activity (particularly unprotected sex or sex with multiple partners.[2] Other factors such as douching, using lubricants, harsh soaps, latex condoms, adult toys and devices, and using feminine hygiene sprays have been shown to increase the risk.
Treatment: Bacterial vaginosis isn't likely to cause serious complications but it is linked to a higher risk for pelvic inflammatory disease, urinary tract infections, and preterm births. Limiting or eliminating the use of feminine hygiene products and temporarily abstaining from sexual activity can help to restore proper bacteria balance. Bacterial vaginosis is likely to go away on its own when measures are taken, however pregnant women are encouraged to consult with a healthcare provider to keep the condition at bay to prevent preterm labor and other pregnancy complications. A healthcare provider can perform a vaginal fluid test to see whether BV is present and prescribe antibiotic treatment if necessary.
Bacterial vaginosis, is treated using one of the following medications:

Your family just booked a summer beach vacation – yay! BUT, you are secretly freaking out. Swimsuits, lots of skin, things that are jigglier than usual. Yikes. For many moms, our bodies look different after having kids. Hello, stretch marks and saggy bits. The great news is that these things are mostly in our head. But we still want to feel confident when we strip off that cover up. How can we get there? Today let's talk about how to get fit as a busy mom (in 4 easy steps!)
Before we focus on fitness, let's talk self-compassion.
First and foremost, we have gotta love our bodies just the way they are.
Come on, they grew and produced tiny human creatures.
If that isn't incredibly gorgeous, what is? Once we've established we are beautiful and worthy just as we are, then it's time to move on to self-care via fitness.
MK here… Fitness should be a lifelong process. Not a quick fix.
It's easy to focus on summer because more skin is exposed, but in truth, we should set our sights to get fit for the rest of our lives. Freezing temps and beyond! Now that my PSA is out of the way, let's talk about how to get fit as a busy mom.
Get fit today! Go for a morning walk. Start using the stairs. Bike your way to work. Get your bootie to the gym. Dance around the house for 20 minutes. Whatever you do, stop making excuses. We're all tired. We all have things we would rather be doing. We are moms after all. But if we start now, our hearts, bodies, and happy outlooks will thank us. A win-win!
Here are some great apps to download to help you get fit as a busy mom:
Keeping yourself accountable for exercising, drinking water, and what you're putting into your body helps you see where you need to improve. Not drinking enough water? Your log will let you know. Burnt 500 calories today? Add that into your app. You can also add friends and work with accountability buddies to keep you motivated in your weight loss journey.
Here's an app for mamas who are trying to get fit but need some sort of incentive. HealthyWage users place a monetary bet on their weight loss and if they win, they get all their money back and then some. You are guaranteed to win at least your money back if you manage to successfully lose the weight that you set for yourself. They also assign you an accountability group.
Are you a visual person? Are fitspiring photos your thing? Maybe there is a killer dress you want to look amazing in for a summer wedding.
Know why you want to get fit.
And never knock the value of having a strong, healthy body that feels good for life!
When it comes to maintaining motivation, how will you push through the slumps?
Here are some ways you can get pumped to work out even when you really don't feel like it:
The key is to keep going even when you don't want to.
Beware the diet fads.
Eating foods that offer a major nutritional punch, combined with consistent exercise, is wonderfully effective.
Colorful fruits and veggies, lean proteins, nuts and avocados, and whole grains are your friends.
Water is always your best bet.
Though it is fashionable to drink protein shakes and sports drinks, water hydrates your body better than anything UNLESS you are performing vigorous activity for longer than an hour. Then it is important to rehydrate with an electrolyte beverage. But for most people, water is perfect. If you're an ultramarathoner, triathlon, Iron Man person, you know what works for you, but this advice is for the mamas who exercise one hour or less three to six days per week.
Allowing yourself a treat here and there is okay, too but the key is to move toward higher nutritional quality and less of the stuff that leaves your body feeling listless.
Stay away from:
Pay attention to your hunger cues.
Try eating smaller meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism going. Eat to the point of satisfaction without overstuffing your belly.
If you haven't had a physical in the past year, now would be a great time.
In order to get fit, you want to make sure your body is working properly from the get-go.
Check those blood levels. Make sure that your heart is strong.
Then embark on the journey to keep your body happy and healthy.
Von here… If you're looking for an easy nutrition starting point, check out the ONE3ONE Method by Chalene Johnson.
Rather than focusing on dieting, this plan focuses on resetting your metabolism for the better. She also has a book out that I have on Kindle.
You don't need an expensive gym membership to get fit.
Using the great outdoors or your own home is just as effective. The key is to find a location that is convenient, accessible, and that you WANT to use.
If you have all the gym equipment in the world at home, but you hate being isolated with no social interaction, you will struggle.
Likewise, if you're on the go all day and you crave having more time with your family, you'll be far more likely to skip another outing at the gym.
Get creative and selfish:
One tip if you are a gym goer is to look for a recreation or community center in your area. Often, you can pay as you go for this type of center.
For example, in Northern Virginia, the recreation centers cost about $6 – 7 per visit – that's super affordable and you can easily supplement it with other exercises at home or outdoors.
Oftentimes, the community center will have FREE gym equipment that you can use, with the only requirement being that you are a resident of the county. The gyms are clean, very basic, and no-frills but they do offer some free classes such as Zumba.
If you are in the Northern Virginia area, this link will give you an example of what the community centers offer: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/neighborhood-community-services/calendars
Always make sure that you are taking advantage of the low-cost things in your area!
Another low-budget way to get in shape is to find hiking trails or walking trails in your area. If that's too much, you could even walk up and down the street with a steep hill for about 30 minutes a week. This can be done with a stroller or during your "me" time.
Sworkit is an app that busy moms can easily use at home. They have many workout choices. You can also do yoga and pilates through this app, too.
Von here again… If you're already working on another exercise regimen, you can always use the free version of this app – they have a fantastic stretching regimen that I find very helpful, too!
Workout for Women: Fitness App
A super fast workout app that you can do in less than 10 minutes. If you're new to working out or don't have a lot of time, this is a great app to help you get fit as a busy mom.
The FitOn App is similar to the Sworkit app but you can also workout with friends at the same time no matter where they live! #friendshipgoals
You can also stream classes online: yoga and dance.
Growing up, I remember watching my relatives doing workouts with those old exercise videos and DVDs on TV. Nowadays, you can check out the exercise options on your Netflix or Amazon Prime accounts or hit up YouTube for a fast and free workout. There are so many options depending on what you are interested in – 5-minute yoga flows, Zumba workouts, cardio, dance, etc.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, there are other options that you can consider as a starting point, such as the Pop Sugar 2-Week Plan. This free plan is super easy to follow and won't leave you bored either!
Whatever you do, always make sure that you set yourself up for success – whatever that looks like to you.
If you can spend 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the evening, you will notice a difference!
It's all about feeling super confident in the summertime and beyond! Once you get some key components in place, you will be well on your way to looking and feeling great!

Hairy Maclary And Friends Cuddle And Play: A Crinkly Cloth Book
Stock information
General Fields
Special Fields
Local Description
Babies will love playing with the crinkly pages in this adorable cloth book and cuddling up to the much-loved characters from the bestselling Hairy Maclary and Friends series by Lynley Dodd.
Author description
Lynley Dodd graduated from the Elam School of Art in Auckland with a diploma in Fine Arts, majoring in sculpture. She went on to teach art before taking a break to start a family. She began to work as a freelance illustrator and collaborated with author Eve Sutton on My Cat Likes To Hide in Boxes. There was no looking back as Lynley went on to write and illustrate her own books for children. Exuberant artwork and bouncy rhymes come together perfectly in books like Slinky Malinki and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. As well as being a visual delight, these are some of the most rewarding books for children and adults to read out loud. It comes as no surprise that, as a child, she adored Dr Seuss because of his 'crazy sounds and the fact that he took such liberties with the English language.' Other favourite authors included A A Milne and the fairy tales of The Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, Lynley is a big fan of Quentin Blake 'because of his humour and very clever art work.'

MONTOURSVILLE, Pa. — Students with special needs were dressed head to toe in red, white, and blue in celebration of the Fourth of July.
The annual extended school year Fourth of July Parade took place at Schick Elementary in Lycoming County. Kids with special needs had the opportunity to march in front of classmates, friends, and family.
"My parade was good, and I was walking on the track for the Fourth of July parade," Brendan Rooker said.
The parade began with a ceremonial entrance, as kids made their way to the track from the front steps of the school.
Erica Logan, a head teacher for the extended school year program, greeted children with flags and cheers.
"It's just amazing because we have so many diverse abilities that get to show their talent and get to smile and make other people in the community smile," Logan said.
The parade is something both kids and teachers look forward to each year. Those involved say this event is one that will not be forgotten.
"This is a highlight of their experience, and I know for our teachers and students that it's meaningful to everyone including the community, as you probably could see today," said Amy Briggs, director of student services.
More than 100 kids representing four different counties made their way out to Schick Elementary School in Montoursville to show off their patriotism and march in the Fourth of July Parade.
Organizers were thrilled with how it turned out.
"Oh, my goodness, it's so wonderful. I think at the end of the day my cheeks hurt from smiling so much," Logan said.
As the kids marched with smiles glued to their faces, those in attendance were left speechless.
"There's no words to capture the satisfaction that this half hour brings for all of us."

Hypopigmentation on you right arm: All you need to know
Loss of skin color due to a disease or trauma is known as Hypopigmentation.
It can develop later in life or may also affect people from birth. [1]
- Skin cell damage caused by burns, infections and wounds, will likely heal over time
- Doctor will rely on results from a physical exam and information about your family history to make a diagnosis.
In hypopigmentation, there may be patches on the skin that vary widely in shape and size and appear to be white. This discoloration happens due to problems with melanin production. Such problems can be linked to a variety of causes. Hypopigmentation may be related to previous injuries such as burns or it may be a genetic condition.
Self Diagnosable: Skin Discoloration
Albinism: extremely pale skin that may have little to no color
Vitiligo: develop lighter patches of skin
Pityriasis Alba: leftover white spots from previous cases of red and scaly skin patches.
Tinea (pityriasis) versicolor: stems from a fungal infection results in scaly spots
Lichen sclerosus: white patches that may eventually enlarge, bleed, and scar.

Published on : Wednesday, April 6, 2016
Pedrali will explore new proposals at Salone del Mobile 2016 in Milan. The brand is going to present their new project Pedrali Urban Life by Migliore+Servetto Architects that places the visitor at the centre of a kaleidoscopic urban setting.
Pedrali Urban Life is a skyline made up of a succession of houses silhouettes which, on different levels, reproduce an urban landscape created through the lightness of opalescent Lexan profiles with accents of light. The central square leads here, surrounded by views over the interior of the houses that host different furniture collection. It offers spaces for rest and sharing emphasized by tall portals, and opens up to the reception area and the raised back lounge. From here it's possible to access to a restricted zone: an exhibition space but also a hospitality area for follow-up meetings.
Pedrali will be present at Hall 10, Stand B19 – C28 at the Milan Fiarghrounds from April 12 to 17.

Meanwhile, I've had second thoughts about whether it makes more sense to track the daily pennies, or simply report total amounts when they are cashed out. I've added a poll in the sidebar to ask any of you readers who are following this if you have an opinion.
Reporting daily is interesting- to see how slowly the income trickles in, however, some of that money might never be cashed out if sites fail, I prefer to reinvest in advertising, or for other reasons. Reporting actual money transferred to me, by PayPal or checks etc, is a more honest report, but makes it difficult for anyone to see how the money accumulated.
There are examples of both styles below:
Cash earned on line and paid to me in June:

Automated Function Points has been approved as ISO 19515:2019
The OMG® standard produced by CISQ for Automated Function Points has been approved as ISO 19515:2019 Information technology -- Object Management Group Automated Function Points (AFP), 1.0.
You can reference it at the following URL: https://www.iso.org/standard/65378.html
For more detail on the AFP standard, read CISQ's overview with links to access the standard through OMG or ISO.
From ISO website:
This International Standard defines a method for automating the counting of Function Points that is generally consistent with the Function Point Counting Practices Manual, Release 4.3.1 (IFPUG CPM) produced by the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG). Guidelines in this International Standard may differ from those in the IFPUG CPM at points where subjective judgments have to be replaced by the rules needed for automation. The IFPUG CPM was selected as the anchor for this International Standard because it is the most widely used functional measurement specification with a large supporting infrastructure maintained by a professional organization.
This International Standard is applicable to the functional sizing of transaction-oriented software applications, and in particular those with data persistency. To be consistent with the IFPUG CPM, the International Standard provides details on the support of applications using relational databases. However, the International Standard can be used and extended for any type of transactional application with data persistency.
This International Standard does not address the sizing of enhancements to an application or maintained functionality (often called Enhancement Function Points). Extensions of the automated counting methods described in this International Standard such as Automated Enhancement Function Points will be addressed in future addendums to this International Standard. This International Standard does not address sizing for the non-functional components of a software application. Non-functional components (as defined by IFPUG) include:
- Structural Quality Constraints Reliability, Security, Performance Efficiency, Maintainability, etc.
- Organizational Constraints locations for operations, target hardware, compliance to standards, etc.
- Environmental Constraints interoperability, security, privacy, safety, etc.
- Implementation Constraints development language, delivery schedule, etc.

Story Is Written By OzilaWhatsapp Contact: +2348066418379Did You Missed Any Episode Read It HERE
"Am working as a bartender mum, so there is nothing to be worried about, just send the account number" I said.
"Okay dear, be careful oh, those people there are very wicked oh" she said.
"I will be careful mum, take care and bye for now" I said and hung up.
I know she will keep telling me about becareful, that's her job anyway.
After the call I walk to the bathroom, I remove my shot and enter the bathtub, I switch on the tap and I just relax on the tub thinking about my country, I wonder if Mitchele would have delivered now, I honestly can't wait to see her but I know it will come at a price, I did mess up and her parents might not even forgive me but all this same if she have delivered then I will visit her and there is nothing anybody can do to stop me, so what about Aneeta and the rest? Oh well I guess I have many things to do when I return but am not leaving India just yet, I might even stay here for years because am making money, life is all about money.
As I was thinking I closed my eyes so when I heard a creek I quickly open them but there is nothing to see, I wash myself and then came out from the tub, I on the rushing tap on my body and yes it feels so good, I heard a creek from the door again and this time I saw a figure standing there with her white night gown and her finger on her lips romancing it like rebekah svcking blood from the movie "the originals".
I saw her and I was shocked I just remain there with my mouth ajar, as she put her hand on her mouth signaling me to shot up, she walk inside the bathroom and then facing me face to face her white gown fell on the grown, seeing the boobson alone send signal to my Dickson, face to face she put her right hand on my chest and started touching my small breasst as if am a woman, I just stand there like a ghost looking at the beauty in front of me more like beauty and the ghost.
"What are you doing?" I ask with slow voice.
"What do you think?" She ask.
I didn't say anything again as she already close my mouth and continue kissing my body, she was kissing me downward till she get to the rock of ages, she struck it and put it in her mouth, she started tackling it like a footballer, I was enjoying it and after few minutes she stand up and she put my hand on her boobson since I was so scared to do so, I rub her and then kiss the boobson,
"Is this how you fvck people at the bar? be brave" she said.
I heard that clearly so I push her backward making sure she reach the edge of the wall, I raise her up and make her sit at the bathroom wallbench opening her legs, I put my tongues and suck bery well, she moan, before I could put the rock of ages inside her wet pussay i heard a sound from the room. She quickly run and hide inside the bathtub and then the bathroom door open.
"Ozila are you the one there" the person ask.
"Yes, am just taking my bath" I said and the person walk away.
I went to the tub and join her there, she climb ontop me and then use her hand to guard the Disk inside the DVD player, then the music started playing, do you wanna guess which music, i think its fvck me hard.
We were lost in our little enjoyment that we didn't know when somebody walk in, she opened the cotton and there she is standing in front of us.
"What the hell" she said.
Who is the Lady I just fvcked?

I had read about this happening on the Popasmoke web site. I have to say that it's pretty impressive to see that aircraft taking off.
Hope it comes thru.
S/F Gary Alls
Subject: Seaboard World DC-8-63_Video..scary landing and takeoff
The film doesn't mention the aftermath of the many tents blown over during the takeoff!
Great actual footage with narration of a Seaboard World DC-8-63 that landed at the wrong airport in Vietnam
in 1969. (8 miles from DaNang..the intended airport). Airport only had a 3300 ft runway. Watch how after defueliing,
and removing all the seats, the aircraft was able to take-off in 2800 ft for the intended destination.

On December 4 to 5 the first ASEAN eBook Conference was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Publishers Weekly has a report on the event. The market is presently in the very early stages. Ookbee, from Thailand, has 88% of the Thai ebook market, but has only 6,000 titles (all in the local language), and 2.5 million users with almost 4,000 being added every day. Six million ebooks have been sold. Interestingly, as in Europe, traditional books are not subject to VAT, but ebooks are, at a 7% rate.
In Vietnam, 70% of publishers sell through Alezaa.com, which prices them cheaply between $2 to $3, which is 30% less than the regular book price. Alezza has 50,000 active3 users and it provides a PDF-to-ePub conversion tool, since publishers aren't interested in doing the conversion themselves.
Singapore is seeing a growing demand for ebooks, as are Indonesia and Malaysia. In Malaysia, ebook stores are just about one year old, but they started in Indonesia in 1999.
More details in the article and a special report will be issued by PW on March 4, 2013.
Paul Biba is a retired corporate international lawyer who has worked in 53 countries. Since he is a very fast reader he came to ebooks out of self-defense in order to avoid carrying a suitcase of books on his travels around the world. An early ebook adopter, he has read on Palms, Pocket PCs and practically every device that has been out there. After being a frequent contributor to TeleRead.com, the oldest ebook/epublishing blog on the net, Paul became TeleRead's Editor-in-Chief, a position he recently resigned.

text: Yesterday I was one of many people that were very sad to hear that this beautiful, iconic restaurant in the beachside suburb of St Kilda had burned down on Friday night. So many people have celebrated special occasions in this fine-dining restaurant. I celebrated my 40th birthday there. It was very memorable because of the food, service and the view of Port Phillip Bay on a hot, Summer day. The building itself was a 110 year old weatherboard building that looked like a beach house. I believe the owners are going to rebuild and I look forward to going again when it reopens.

Pride Films and Plays is delighted to announce Kellee Terrell's GEMMA as the winner of its 2017 LezPlay Contest. Out of three dozen entries, three scripts advanced to the finals. LezPlay Literary Coordinator Allison Fradkin says, "These two screenplays and one stage play elevate and celebrate dyke drama (and comedy), showcasing Sapphic-centric narratives that spoke loud and queer to our judges."
Terrell's winning script will receive four days of developmental workshops, culminating in two public staged readings during LezPlay Weekend September 8-9 at Pride Arts Center in Chicago. The two other finalists were THANATRON, a farcical screenplay about the world's most dysfunctional family, a doctor with a penchant for assisted suicide, and a lesbian housekeeper with a crush on her employer; and IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE by Katherine Varga, a full-length stage comedy about a teenager at rocket science camp and her astrological cult-founding parents.
LezPlay, now in its seventh year, enhances the visibility and advances the viability of women who write plays, screenplays, and teleplays in which lesbian characters and themes - past, present, and future - play a pivotal role. To judge the submissions, Allison Fradkin, LezPlay's Literary Coordinator, assembled a reading team of 25 industry professionals who served as adjudicators for the contest, evaluating the entries for concept and originality, structure, plot, dialogue, character development, and lesbian content.
The winning entry, GEMMA by Kellee Terrell concerns Zora, a Black lesbian grieving the death of her pregnant wife, moves into an isolated rural Wisconsin farmhouse, where she befriends Gemma, a lonely ghost haunting the estate. The two grow close over time, but the spirit lashes out when Zora finds a new girlfriend. Is this a jealous ghost trying to stake her claim or is something more sinister going on? GEMMA will be performed in a staged public reading in The Broadway, Pride Arts Center, at 7:30 pmon Friday, September 8 and Saturday, September 9.
Kellee Terrell is a Chicago-based award-winning filmmaker and journalist who writes about race, gender, health, and pop culture. Her articles and interviews have been featured IN HARPER'S BAZAAR, ESSENCE, THE ADVOCATE, HELLO BEAUTIFUL, EBONY, THE ROOT, AL JAZEERA, BET, THE ADVOCATE, and THE HUFFINGTON POST. In 2016, GEMMA was one of five scripts chosen for the Outfest Screenwriting Lab Fellowship.
THANATRON by Carolyn Gage is a rollicking farce about the world's most dysfunctional family, a doctor with a penchant for assisted suicide, and a lesbian housekeeper with a crush on her employer. An over-the-top comedy about leaving, being left, and what it takes to stay.
Carolyn Gage is a playwright, performer, director, and activist. The author of nine books on lesbian theatre and seventy-five plays, musicals, and one-woman shows, she specializes in non-traditional roles for women, especially those reclaiming famous lesbians whose stories have been distorted or erased from history. Her work is widely produced, and in 2014 she was one of six featured playwrights at UNESCO's World Theatre Day in Rome. She has received numerous grants and fellowships, won the national Lambda Literary Award in Drama, and was nominated for the American Theatre Critics Association's Steinberg New Play Award for her play UGLY DUCKLINGS. Her papers are archived at the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. carolyngage.weebly.com
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE by Katherine Varga
Tara Sterling has always known her destiny is to become a rocket scientist. After all, it says so in the stars—at least according to her parents, founders of an astrological cult. But when Tara attends a rocket science camp for advanced high school students, she meets a mysterious puppeteer, and her plans start to falter.
Katherine Varga's first full-length play, ENERGY MASS LIGHT, received a developmental staged reading at Geva Theatre Center in Rochester and was later student-produced on the University of Rochester campus. Her short plays have been seen at Curious Theatre (Denver), 20% Theatre Company (Chicago), and the 2015 First Niagara Rochester Fringe Festival. She is currently pursuing her M.F.A. in Playwriting at Ohio University. katherinevarga.weebly.com

Here are some more images of one of my walks around Freedom of the Seas.
There's even a full size boxing ring here and lessons for those who would like to learn the sport.
My regular readers know I passed on this one. ;)
All the best,Lois
Well it's nice to have the option if you choose to work out while cruising. I don't know that I would though!! Love Di ♥
My older daughter would need that...I don't think she goes many days that she doesn't work out.
That's quite a lay-out of "work-out" equipment!
Looks like this would be a place we would be visiting regularly as we do go to our local YMCA on average 5X a week.

What does this information mean?
|Traveling deep along the boulder paved ogre roadways one will find this ancient shrine. Massive stones line the perimeter as a great carving of a crescent creates a focal point or altar of the shrine. Ancient records tell that these were once points of energy for ogre mages. They have been reported wherever ogre empires have stood or soon to be conquered territory. I have seen such sights even in the highlands of Karana, now known as the Thundering Steppes. There they stand defiantly, but here they appear gasping for breath as the roots of the Feerrott squeeze the life from the shrine.

Fighting back Cameron is launching a blistering attack on Brown and his expenses fiddling suspects as they try to escape from a criminal court. But Hattie had the gall to tell Dave to keep quiet for calling for a new law to stamp out the abuse.
Outrage led to outpourings of disgust from both Tory and LibDem leaders, with the 'disgusting sight' of MPs charged with fiddling expenses trying to hide behind the smokescreen of parliamentary privilege with a 'get out of jail free' card.
Couple Cameron's personal attack on the struggling Supreme Leader's sinster style and Bunkered Brown's failure to stop his MPs 'abusing parliamentary privilege' and it's turning into a right old dog fight.
Deputy dog and wannabe PM, 'Big Sis' Harman, lectured the opposition leader on the Today programme, claiming Cameron's call could lead to the charges being thrown out of court. "He's got to be very careful what he says or his comments might actually jeopardise the trial," wagged Hattie.
What utter tosh. Harman's weak and wooly outburst is politicking at the lowest level to protect the New Labour three, using 'sub judice' to put a lid on the whole sordid saga.
Wading in with fresh unreported details on the case against the three, maybe. But nothing Cameron is set to say scratches the surface. And that would go for any MP wanting to raise the matter under the protected privilege of the House.
The only possible contempt of court came with Channel 4 News' broadcast of a lengthy interview with one of the suspects, Devine, putting up the case for his defence and making a complete pigs ear of it. No New Labour crony came out to attack that.
In fact the New Labour gang have been remarkably quiet. Brown had his chance to close down the debate and as usual he blew it.
Both Cameron and Clegg rounded on the New Labour three when it was suggested they could try to be above the law using ancient parliament privilege to wriggle out of a criminal trial. Brown could have joined in with suitable outrage but adding he doesn't think it would come to that. But if in doubt he says nowt.
Now he's given Cameron the perfect election gift to challenge him to back the introduction of a new Parliamentary Privilege Act before the election with the added bonus of using the sordid saga for a bit of political point scoring.
Cameron's attack follows the announcement last week that three New Labour MPs Morley, Devine and Chaytor face criminal charges over their expenses under the Theft Act.
Cameron is on a winner wondering why the three are using the Labour Party's official solicitor to help mount their controversial defence. And demanding to know why they still have the protection of the party whip.
There's always been something fishy about the handling of this case. As the Orange Party pointed out when they were charged, the timing was perfect for the fiddlers three.
Police and Legg auditors had been investigating since the Telegraph blew the whistle in May last year. Morley was then "suspended" from the parliamentary Labour party, according to Brown.
Files were sent to state prosecutors in November but only now has the CPS decided to bring criminal charges.
None were arrested, instead summoned to appear in court next month which neatly allows all three to continue to draw fat MPs salaries until time for huge golden goodbyes.
The reason for the delay is clear. New Labour could not risk three damaging and expensive by-elections on the back of the MPs' expenses scandal. The by-election caused by disgraced speaker Martin forced to quit was quite enough.
The three have been told they cannot run on a New Labour ticket at the election and are standing down. But none had the party whip withdrawn. That ignominy could tip them over the edge forcing them to quit.
In a late move to take some of the wind out of Cameron's sails, New Labour finally suspended the whip on all three charged MPs today, handing Dave easy victory and leaving Big Sis with egg on her face.
Cameron was in like a shot last May, capturing the political high ground, leaving Brown floundering around, as the sordid expenses scandal blew up. Now he's managing to do it all over again.
The last thing New Labour wants is for Cameron to be on his uppers. But New Labour's handling of the whole sorry mess is a golden chance to milk the scandal and tap into genuine public outrage. New Labour has only itself to blame.

SACRAMENTO (CNN) — Demonstrators in Sacramento marched Friday to California's Capitol during a second day of protests over the police-involved shooting death of Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man.
The crowd walked about a mile from the city's Tower Bridge to the steps of the seat of state government.
They chanted "Black lives matter" and called out Clark's name. One of the march leaders told people to hold up their cellphones; police have said Clark had an object in his hand, but no weapon was found.
"It's just a cellphone," the man yelled out. "I don't know how the hell it looks like a gun to anybody else."
The shooting incident began Sunday after 9 p.m., when Sacramento officers responded to a report that a man had broken car windows and was hiding in a backyard. They pursued a man identified as Clark, who hopped a fence into his grandmother's property.
Officials said two officers fired when they thought they saw a weapon.
The crowd Friday stood on the steps outside the Capitol, decrying a police force the protesters called racist. They said there was no reason for police to open fire.
"Cells up, don't shoot," they screamed.
After spending about a half hour at the Capitol, demonstrators took to the streets, occasionally disrupting traffic downtown and at times confronting police officers. Several people, including one member of the clergy, would get the growing crowd moving again as the protesters eventually went to an area where there were several courthouses.
'A phone is not a gun'
Protesters the day before had marched into City Hall and onto an interstate highway as the mayor called for calm. They also went to an NBA arena and kept many fans from attending the Kings game against the Atlanta Hawks.
At City Hall, demonstrators called for the arrest of the two officers and demanded to see police Chief Daniel Hahn as they marched into the building.
The protest, which was organized by Black Lives Matter Sacramento, briefly spilled onto Interstate 5 after the group left City Hall.
"A phone is not a gun," protesters chanted.
Police: Clark had an object
The shooting was captured by the two officers' body cameras and a police helicopter; that footage was released on Wednesday in an effort to be transparent.
On Sunday, officers fired 20 times at Clark, hitting him multiple times, police told CNN Sacramento affiliate KOVR. The two officers have since been placed on paid administrative leave amid a use of force investigation.
The body camera videos show the brief encounter between police and Clark, lasting less than a minute, from the moment one of the officers yelled: "Hey, show me your hands. Stop. Stop."
Police said the officers entered the front yard and saw the suspect along the side of the home. Police said the man "turned and advanced toward the officers while holding an object" extended in front of him.
"Show me your hands!" one of the officers yelled. "Gun, gun, gun."
Seconds later, officers opened fire as they took cover near a wall.
As more police arrived at the scene, someone is heard asking, "What did he have on him?"
An officer responded "… something in his hands. It looked like a gun from our perspective."
Clark's family members have disputed the police account.
Clark's grandmother said she was inside the house when the shots were fired, and saw her grandson with an iPhone.

(ii) To concentrate on the development of industries with large domestic market and export potential (iii) To usher in 'sunrise' industries with high growth potential and relevance to our needs and (iv) To evolve an integrated policy towards self-reliance in strategic fields and opening up of avenues for employment of skilled and trained manpower. The plan set a target of 8% growth per annum in industrial production. To make this possible, productivity and viability of industry was improved, modernisation and up gradation of technology undertaken and input efficiency increased. Industry was restructured with a shift towards high technology. Infrastructure was improved so that created assets could be used more efficiently. The policy frame involved same basic changes in the inherited approaches.
The public sector became much more dynamic and competitive. The expertise available in this sector enabled it to play the role of the leader in modernisation and development of 'sunrise' industries and export. This change in the role of public sector meant greater management autonomy, closing down of inefficient units and radical restructuring of the rest.

The plan advocated further liberalisation of industrial regulations keeping in view the need of productivity, scale economies and efficiency. It also pleaded for a unified approach to small, medium and large industries instead of the compartmentalised approach followed hitherto. This meant that the reservation of areas for the small scale sector was reviewed. The complementarities of the sectors were kept in mind so that the growth avenues were harmonsied and optimised. Similarly, the policies and programmes at the centre and in the states as well as various ministries/agencies at various levels were coordinated and integrated to the extent possible. The backward area subsidy was specially reviewed as they had become counter-productive. To this extent, location of industries near the small district towns which were not industrialised so far were promoted with a view to removing regional disparities and encouraging dispersal of industries. Industrial sickness and eventual mortality was accepted as a price for healthy, competitive growth and measures to mitigate their ill effects were devised.
The total investment in the industrial sector was 12.5% of the total plan outlay of 7th Five year Plan. The industrial scenario during the 7th Plan can be declared a success as a review of the progress of the 7th Plan reveals that the annual growth rate of the industrial sector including mining, manufacturing and electricity-generation during the 7th Plan was 8.5% which though marginally lower than targeted 8.7% was much higher than Sixth Plan.
