Among the news of 2011 season, the Relais San Maurizio offers a new suite on the ground floor with private garden and view of the cloister of the monastery. The suite is in front of an old arbutus tree, unique and extraordinary. Indeed, it was planted 300 years ago by the monks.
The room – number 12 – has a living room and a double bedroom and two bathrooms. It is the only room in the resort with a Jacuzzi and it's perfect also for families.
The arbutus tree, although it is more common in the Western Mediterranean countries, in the cloister it has found a suitable microclimate that has allowed it to develop into a majestic height. In the Resurgence period the arbutus tree, part of the Ericaceae family, just because of the color taken in the fall, the same as those of the Italian flag, was considered a symbol of the tricolor flag.
So much so that the poet Giovanni Pascoli's dedicated a poem.

Put your heart enthusiastically, really believe in what you do
Ecoplasteam plants a technological development for recycling multi-layer materials
Please introduce yourself and your startup Ecoplasteam to our readers!
Ecoplasteam is a group of "young souls" who decided to invest time and money to solve an environmental problem and show that it is also possible to build a business with it.The group's strength is enthusiasm and the whole project is based around a patent developed by an Italian entrepreneur.
The idea is to produce a "new plastic material" by recycling the poly-laminated of the packaging market. Ecoplasteam uses the waste/sub-product coming from paper mills that recover cellulose fibre from beverage and food cartons (tetrapak type).These multilayer products are insignificant in weight per package, but numbers become impressive when the total amount of waste is taken into account. This sub-product, only in Italy, "weights" more than 15.000 tons per year and in the world is about 2 millions tons .
We produce a plastic material, in various recipes, called EcoAllene, developed according to the demands of the market sectors and customers, with a completely mechanical (without solvents or chemicals!) production process.
How did you get the idea to Ecoplasteam?
The Ecoplasteam idea, as already mentioned, was born on the basis of a patent developed by an Italian entrepreneur. The incredible success of our first 400 tons, produced with a prototype system, which were used to produce various objects which were offered on the market, proved that EcoAllene had the potential of being successful.Furthermore, even when the "prototype material" had run out, the market was still talking about it. Market continued to talk about "the product to recover multi-layer materials", meaning that EcoAllene is needed!
So, among a thousand difficulties, Ecoplasteam was born.
How difficult was the start and what challenges you had to overcome?
"Create a start-up" in Italy is a real challenge, because there is not a "venture capitalism" culture. But laws are very clear and useful to help people who want to start, you need only to study and apply. Drafting documents, looking for investment partners, dealing with bureaucracy…finding the right interpretation of laws and regulations. The only problem we didn't have right from the start was to get the idea accepted; everyone liked the project immediately, congratulations and awards came in large numbers.
Even the companies that put these materials on the market applauded us… but everything stopped there, because there was not the "Team".After six years of research, presentations, compliments and rejections, the final Team was formed, a lot, really a lot, of work and some more money and … Ecoplasteam was born.
Who is your target audience?
Our market of reference, but also partner of reference are all those companies, designers, technicians who want to use EcoAllene to produce using a material fully recyclable and that guarantees a constancy of mechanical characteristics combined with colorability. To this target, we additionally propose a process of circular economy: their products will be completely recycled at the end of their life cycle.
What is the USP of your startup?
EcoAllene is a product that can be defined as "unique" on the market, , thanks to the structure of its patent. Nevertheless, Ecoplasteam wants to promote its business and its image as a company looking to the future, constantly looking for new solutions to unresolved problems in the field of recycling. To achieve this, Ecoplasteam takes care of communication in an accurate way and, thanks to a specialized technical structure, is proactive with designers and customers to suggest and technically support applications in Ecoallene. Ecoplasteam has also an internal research department for new recipes to accompany the market demands.
Ecoplasteam is now on the market with two "main slogans" "Ecoallene is a response to the 2020 appointment" and "Ecoplasteam: Circular Economy 2.0 already today".
Can you describe a typical workday of you?
Each member of the Ecoplasteam team operates within its sphere of competence. Therefore, while the technical part is responsible for production and plant care (our plant is 100 meters long and 20 meters large!), the commercial part is active on the market in search of new customers interested in making an environmental contribution to their business.
The management contributes with institutional and financial meetings that increase Ecoplasteam's visibility on the market and allow it to pursue the company's growth and expansion plan.
Where do you see yourself and your startup Ecoplasteam in five years?
In the next 5 years our plan foresees a further 5/8 plants in Europe and a technological development for recycling other multi-layer materials such as biscuit packaging films, French fries bags and multi-layer coffee capsules, a "real taboo" for Circular Economy today.
What 3 tips would you give other Start-up founders on the way?
Engage, convince and hire the best professionals on the market in the field of law, finance and managerial skills with "work for equity" or similar systems
put your heart enthusiastically, really believe in what you do
Never, never, never give up even when everything seems lost

The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC)- led Federal Government is threatening the kind of positive impact expected to be made on the socio- political and economic life of Nigeria and Nigerians by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
So much acrimony, rancour and suspicion now characterise the relations among the leaders of the APC who, despite all odds, were able to take power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which ruled the nation for 16 years.
At the root of all the troubles that had held the much celebrated new government hostage is the scramble for the political positions available at the federal level by many anxious and impatient party leaders, most of whom are only concerned about their selfish interests as against the talk of national interest that dominated the APC campaigns for votes.
As the nation anxiously awaits the new government to fill key offices and fulfill the promise of change that gave birth to the Buhari administration, the President seemed to be waiting for the rather unimpressive political battle over who gets what.
APC Govt hunted by its coalition nature
The fears expressed by many in the days of the merger drive by the precursor-political parties to form the APC that the crisis that would ensue might be too much to manage is manifesting too early for the government that is yet to mark it's two weeks in office.
The current unabating crisis in the APC began right from the days of electing persons to fill party offices when the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigerians Peoples Party (ANPP), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) as well as those from the 'New Peoples Democratic Party (New PDP)' locked horns.
The suspicion grew as the party moved from one stage of development to another and became more intense as it moved to its presidential primaries. At the moment, the CPC has got the Presidency, the ANPP got the chairmanship of APC, ACN took the position of the vice president.
The 'New PDP' is yet to secure one. Such is the historical background to the current crisis that held the APC hostage to the detriment of the kind of meetings and deliberations on key national problems that should engage the party and its government.
At the moment, such key appointments, including Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and the Chief of Staff to the president are yet to be made. It was gathered that until the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly, those appointments could not be made since the zonal considerations would be an issue.
The Battle for Soul of Senate
Suddenly, the nation is being entertained with the kind of political music that characterised the early life of the PDP- dominated Senate even by a government of "change". APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, described the scenario as part of the internal democracy that should be expected from APC's administration. But is the party prepared to handle these crises in such a manner that they would not terribly distract government or produce negative effects on the "change" gospel?
Failure to immediately wade in and nip disagreements among its Senators-elect in the bud as well as seeming vested interests of key leaders of the party have festered the crisis to the level where no respite seems to be in sight.
The election of its candidates for the offices of Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker last Saturday only fuelled the tension as large chunk of stakeholders boycotted the primary election that was conducted to that effect.
The fear that going inside the chambers of the Senate for the election of the Senate President without a united front could make it lose the number three position to the opposition party had delayed that election which should have held last week.
The APC is left with 59 Senators after the death of Senator Ahmed Zannah, while the PDP has 49. With only 33 Senators who voted for Ahmed Lawan during Saturday's primary election, the APC still has some 26 Senators in the camp of Bukola Saraki.
Calculations are that a larger percentage of the 49 PDP Senators had already taken side with Saraki and this poses a serious threat to the APC candidate.
Saraki does not look like an aspirant ready to give up his ambition even after the APC had announced its candidate, and this remains a great challenge.
Should the scenario remain this way till Tuesday, which is the day of election, the APC is sure to have in its hands a repeat of what happened to the PDP government when the immediate past House of Representatives Speaker, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, breached his party's decision, contested and became Speaker.
The result was the protracted face-off between the House and the executive arm of government, a situation which crippled many policies of the Federal Government and ultimately made the PDP to lose the election.
Saraki was swift to declare the primary election unacceptable to his team when he reacted Sunday morning. He said that his supporters and himself boycotted the primary election to select the consensus APC Senate President because the party's National Working Committee did not guarantee them the process of secret balloting.
He said that it was sad that at a meeting conveyed by the APC NWC during which the "Senators of like minds" requested for secret ballot system as the mode of voting, the Oyegun led APC national working committee rejected the request. Saraki said the NWC insisted on open balloting as a means of determining the APC consensus candidate.
"As result of the inability of the APC leadership to guarantee the Senators of like minds the right of secret ballot system, we are not participating at the election and this we made clear to the national chairman of our party. Whatever they do in the name of consensus, for the Senate presidency election, we are not part of it.", he said yesterday. "Members of my group are still meeting to come out with further action. But for now, we are not part of the consensus arrangement."
In a statement later issued by the Senators on the side of Saraki and signed by Senators Dino Malaye and Ahmed Sani Yerima, it was stressed that the process adopted by the APC leadership was unacceptable.
The statement reads: "We the Senators-elect of Like Minds today 6th of June 2015, on the invitation of our party, attended an interactive meeting with selected 5 members from each group, the Unity Forum and the Like Minds Group. Regrettably, the Unity Forum insisted on open ballot voting which we discovered is different from the electoral process used to conduct the earlier election with the House of Representatives members-elect. To us, this open ballot voting is primitive, undemocratic and against universal electoral norms and practice.
"In the light of the above, we the Senators-elect of Like Minds hereby insist on our position of Open Secret voting process which we believe is in consonance with the provisions of the Electoral Act, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the universal electoral values.
"As responsible citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and leaders in our own right, we have resolved and hereby state that we shall not be part of a process that promotes undemocratic electoral process that may resort to rancorous and uncivil situations which inhibits the rights of individuals to vote for the candidate of their choice, as this process will further divide us than unite members of our party.
"In conclusion, we the Senators-elect of Like Minds wish to state categorically that we will participate only in the constitutional election scheduled for Tuesday, the 9th of June 2015 in line with the rules of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We by this press release invite the media to a joint press conference by the 65 Senators-Elect of Like Minds drawn from across party lines on Monday morning, the 8thof June 2015."
Issues that may shape election of Senate President
Without doubt, Tuesday election in the Senate has recorded a very keen contest. The last time the nation witnessed something close to this was in June, 2007 when the immediate past President of the Senate, David Mark, stood against former Benue State Governor, George Akume in an election that ended 38 against 69 in favour of Mark. The contest is so keen that taking a decision on whether Senator Saraki or Senator Ahmed Lawan would clinch the presidency of the Upper Legislative Chamber depends on several issues which are still unfolding.
Those who believe that Tuesday's election would favour Saraki hinge their argument on the possibility that the support from the PDP senators would remain valid till election time on Tuesday.
To that effect, it is believed that in the South-South geo-political zone, he could get three votes from Akwa Ibom, two from Edo where the APC has one Senator, three each from Rivers, Cross River, three from Delta and Bayelsa states.
But in the South East, investigations showed that Abia State could give him only two votes, while he is expected to clinch the three votes each from Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, and Anambra State.
In the South West where the national leader of APC, Bola Tinubu, holds his ground, Saraki may also clinch one vote from Ogun State, one from Oyo, three from Ekiti and two from Ondo states. There is no likelihood that he will get any vote from Lagos and Osun states.
Saraki and Lawan may be very close in the North West. In the zone, Saraki could get three votes from Sokoto State because of his relationship with the immediate past Sokoto governor, Aliyu wammakko, he may get two from Kebbi, two from Zamfara, three from Jigawa and one from Kaduna states. Kano and Katsina states so far remain the stronghold of Lawan. From his own geo-political zone, Saraki is expected to get the three votes each from Kogi, Kwara and Plateau while he may get one vote each from Nasarawa, Niger and FCT.
The controversial Benue State is the home base of his opponent, George Akume, who is contesting the Deputy Senate President with active support from Banabas Germade. It is not certain if the former Senate President, David Mark, would want to vote.
Although North East is home to Lawan, some lawmakers from the zone may have since abandoned him for getting endorsed by 'external forces'. Senators and Senators-elect from the zone were the first to address the press, denying alleged endorsement of Lawan. Their grouse was that it was their responsibility to select who leads the zone if and when the party decides to zone the position to the North East.
Also, there is likelihood that Saraki may pair with either Senator Ali Ndume or Danjuma Goje. With this division, Saraki could grab some votes from the zone. For instance, he is likely to get one vote from Taraba, two from Adamawa, one from Gombe and one from Borno.
Lawan is expected to corner all the votes from Bauchi States as well as his home state, Yobe. A Senator representing Borno State, Ahmed Zanna, who died recently is yet to be replaced.
But an analyst who is close to the Lawan camp said: "Although, I came short of suggesting that Akume and Lawan should agree to step down for each other, so that one would pick the position of Senate President and the other Deputy Senate President simply because I did not want to offend the sensibilities of either of these solid candidates, it was gratifying when the APC Senators Unity Forum, a group comprising 37 out of the 60 members-elect, got Akume to step down for Lawan so that Lawan would emerge as Senate President and Akume as Deputy Senate President."

It takes a special kind of person to man a Crisis Hotline and stop people from doing horrible things. But anyone can do it with training. None other than voice actor Lorenzo Music was a hotline volunteer. Once he got a phone call and he said to the caller in his trademark sleepy voice, "don't do it, man, people love you, you got a lot of life left." The person on the other end replied with, "…….Are you that cat from TV?"
The protagonist of Crisis Hotline, a new thriller coming out from High Octane Pictures, could likely use Lorenzo's soothing skills. He finds himself on the other line with a desperate maniac threatening to commit a massive murder-suicide. Only the man's words can prevent a tragedy from unfolding…he'd better pick them carefully.
Crisis Hotline stars Corey Jackson, Christian Gabriel and Pano Tsaklas, and was written and directed by Mark Schwab. Look for the film to appear on DVD and VOD platforms June 11.
A cynical counselor at a crisis hotline finds himself in a life or death situation when a young man calls and threatens to kill three people and then himself in "an excellent thriller" (Screencritix) that features "some really convincing performances" (IndyRed). Corey Jackson, Christian Gabriel and Pano Tsaklas star.

|Design and fabrication of treble flow membrane based dehumidifier
|Zee, Jonathan Zheng Jie
|Issue Date:
|This report details the comparison between the existing industrial membrane system and the newly developed hollow fibre membrane based tubular flow heat and mass exchanger used for dehumidification. A large amount of funding has been put into the development of liquid desiccant air conditioning (LDAC) systems in the recent years. This is because LDAC systems can be powered mainly by waste heat. The LDAC system dehumidifies the air by absorbing moisture from the surrounding environment with the use of desiccants. This allows for the conservation of up to 50% of energy in both the domestic and industrial arenas. To discover the most effective and suitable desiccant for the dehumidification process, various types of liquid desiccants in the market are compared. Despite of its corrosive properties, the most frequently used desiccant in the LDAC system is lithium chloride. Being able to resist crystallisation, desiccant solution mixtures with reactivation temperatures that are similar are becoming increasingly popular. In addition, they are relatively low in cost. Nonetheless, in order to overcome the common issue of corrosion presented by desiccant salts, plastic heat exchanges are used in LDAC systems. Three individual input scenarios are used to analyse the distribution pattern of the newly developed membrane's overall flow. The operational parameters of this membrane are dependent on the consistency shown through the distribution flow patterns. The overall performance of the dehumidification of the membrane is also analysed through experiments to arrive at a conclusion. Inputs of various air flow rates were used and the density of the lithium chloride measured to check for any concentration changes. The results were gathered and demonstrated in a psychometric chart. As a comparison, a commercialised membrane by memsys was used throughout both experiments. The experiments showed results which suggest that the newly developed membrane functions best within the parameter of low air flow rate. While the newly developed membrane may not possess the desired dehumidification standards when compared to existing membranes of industrial quality, it does provide the basis required for the next stage of research.

RunTime: 1 hr 30 mins
Rating: NC-16 (Violence and Coarse Language)
Released By: Shaw Organisation
Official Website:
Opening Day: 17 May 2018
Synopsis: In the dark heart of a sprawling, anonymous city, Terminal follows the twisting tales of two assassins carrying out a sinister mission, a teacher battling a fatal illness, an enigmatic janitor and a curious waitress leading a dangerous double life. Murderous consequences unravel in the dead of night as their lives all intertwine at the hands of a mysterious criminal mastermind hell-bent on revenge.
Movie Review:
If you're curious about 'Terminal', it's probably because of its name cast, which includes the likes of Margot Robbie, Simon Pegg and even Austin Powers… we mean, Mike Myers. But just why such a group of talented actors would lend their time to this interminably boring and utterly pointless movie is beyond comprehension, even more so for Robbie who is among one of its four producers. Oh yes, writer-director Vaughn Stein's filmmaking debut is a 'Sin City' inspired neo-noir infused with a kaleidoscope of neon colours but with all the substance drained out, so unless it's a one-and-a-half hour of candied pastiche you're after, you needn't even bother.
Notwithstanding, for those keen to know more, here's our attempt at trying to wring coherence out of it. Told through a tortured timeline, the disjointed narrative is made up of three intertwining storylines: first, that of a contract killer named Bonnie (Robbie) who aims to prove herself as a hitman to a mysterious employer by pitting two assassins (Dexter Fletcher and Max Irons) against each other; second, that of diner waitress Annie (also Robbie) who crosses paths with a dying English professor named Bill (Pegg) at the titular restaurant; and third, of a limping janitor (Myers) who shuffles along the vast, depopulated railway station which all the other characters inhabit seemingly going about his own business, but clearly bearing some larger connection to every single one of them.
It will take a little more than an hour before Stein stitches these series of playlets together, but what a terrible hour it is. There's Fletcher and Irons' pair of hitmen trading hard-boiled dialogue that tries to sound cool and gritty at the same time, but is really only corny and cringe-worthy. There's Robbie delivering her dialogue with a snarl that tries to be intimidating and erotic at the same time, but just feels unnecessarily over-the-top. There's Robbie again challenging Pegg about death, freedom from it and the "pathetic fallacy" that comes off sounding more and more like intellectual psychobabble for the sake of it than anything else. And last but not least, there's Myers trying to make sense of his role that ends up like a diminutive Dr Evil. Alas, there is hardly any reason to care for any of these characters, not least because they are caricatures that inhabit some artificial underworld that makes no sense, and don't even get us started about how badly written the lines are.
To his credit, Stein tries to build momentum towards an off-the-rails ending in the third act, but as ballsy as it is, it is equally ridiculous - and considering how underwhelming the earlier acts were, just simply unsatisfying. Oh yes, it's no surprise that these characters are somehow all connected to one another (including Bonnie and her alter-ego Annie) but to sit through one hour of flashy, hyper-stylised nonsense to get to that point is hardly worth it. There is some strength in its stylistic combination of a neo-noir palette with the Day-Glo colours from 'Alice in Wonderland', but the Crayola noir itself is hardly enough to keep one engaged for a full hour.
'Terminal' suffers from a classic case of style over substance, or in this case, all style and no substance. There is nothing human, credible or real in its tired tale of deceit, double crosses and narrative switchbacks, so why Robbie, Pegg and/or Myers even bothered is terminally incomprehensible, just like much of the movie is. Its alternate title is 'End of the Line', and that's a pretty apt description for Stein's filmmaking career if he doesn't prove that he has more to put on screen than a neon-coloured cartoon.
Movie Rating:
(All style and no substance, this neon-lit 'Sin City' inspired neo-noir is interminably boring)

Russia's leaders are getting used to cutting budgets this year. As the country sinks deeper into recession — unemployment, according to some estimates, is as high as 12% and the economy is predicted to shrink by about 4.5% in 2009 — the government is slashing spending at most of its ministries. The Energy Ministry's budget is down by 33%, and that of the Transport Ministry by 30%. But there is one hugely expensive project on which President Dmitri Medvedev has vowed to actually increase spending: transforming Russia's creaking Soviet-era defense industry into a modern technological power, and turning the 1.1-million-man Russian army into a leaner but more effective fighting force.
To get there Medvedev has increased government military spending this year by nearly 26% to about $37 billion, and given military producers of strategic weapons like missile systems and aircraft an extra $1.9 billion in 2009. In late March, just days before flying to the G-20 summit in London, the President donned a military pilot's helmet and uniform at an air base near Moscow for a ride in the back of a Sukhoi-34 fighter bomber, one of Russia's most sophisticated and deadly pieces of hardware. Afterwards he told reporters that it was time to modernize the country's entire air-force fleet. "We have the momentum and people who want to serve their country," he said. "Much is yet to be done."

I was scheduled to speak at a young women's empowerment event. Prior to my session, I heard a panel of women who were in a variety of roles in the health industry. The women were smart, go-getters, and dropped a ton of knowledge. They were natural career mentors.
The students asked solid questions . And the audience was attentive.
However, I was intrigued about what occurred when the panel ended. A few brave girls shyly went up to the front of the room and approached the panel. They thanked the panelists and asked if they could ask a few questions. One of the panelists invited the girls to visit her workplace after she saw their enthusiasm.
It was amazing to witness. The girls were so excited that they met someone who took an interest in their future career goals.
But I was smiling for a different reason. I was excited that they conquered their fears and asked questions. I knew that they were one step closer to their career goals. They were willing to "do it" with the fear standing beside them.
For example, one of the panelists shared details about a college mentoring program. It helped her get her first internship in the industry. The panelist started sharing tips that the girls could use to make themselves more competitive for this program. Tips BEFORE they get to college. Things like even knowing how to find the program once they got on campus.
I've sat on selection committees for programs like this. I know this will help them when they fill out their applications. It will help them rank more strongly on their essays because they will have a keen insight into what the program really wants.
That is such a game changer. The girls have a few years to get ready. But now they have someone who can help them prepare. Someone who has been there and "done that" can light the way.
I wish there were more mentoring programs. We need hundreds so that our young women can be exposed to every field, industry and option.
But in the meantime, I challenge you to equip your girls. Get them to conquer their fears. And ask. Encourage them to speak up. Attend career events. Ask for what they want. Be willing to hear new ideas. Talk to the panelists after the event.
You may never know what goodness may be in store! And what career opportunities may come in the future.
That's worth gold!!!

Canada's Acton Ostry Architects, in collaboration with tall wood advisor Architekten Hermann Kaufmann, has begun construction on the appropriately named "Tall Wood Building," an 18-story, 53-meter residential tower for Canada's University of British Columbia (UBC) upper year and graduate students.
The tower will be the world's tallest wooden residential tower, but may not hold that title for long: MGA's 35-story Baobab in Paris is still awaiting approval, according to Architect's newspapers..
The building will house approximately 400 students and include 33 four-bed units and 272 studio apartments. The ground floor of the tower will feature both study and social areas, and the communal student lounge will be located on the top floor. The cost for students to live in this building will be similar to other on-campus living options.
Located on Walter Gage Road north of the North Parkade, the CAD$51.5 million (USD$37 million), mass timber superstructure will sit upon a solid concrete base. The building's façade will be comprised of both white- and charcoal-colored prefabricated metal panels.READ ALSO – Exquisite Sydney Harbour Mansion Bought For $52m By 27-year-old Chinese Property Mogul
"This beautiful, new tall wood building will serve as a living laboratory for the UBC community," UBC Interim President Martha Piper said in a statement. "It will advance the university's reputation as a hub of sustainable and innovative design and provide our students with much-needed on-campus housing."
In addition to being a student residence, the building will also act as an academic site for both UBC students and researchers. The university is currently working toward achieving a minimum of LEED Gold for the tower. The building is scheduled to complete by 2017.

From Hospitals and Health Networks comes a story we can only hope plays out in the long run. With the new penalties on readmissions and the focus the Accountable Care Act has brought to waste and inefficiency in the healthcare system we need a renewed focus on the long-term needs of the patient. If someone is discharged today from a hospital or Skilled Nursing Facility is it safe for them to go home with no further treatment? The continuum of care required by each patient to ensure that recovery and rehabilitation are maximized should be the first priority. Let's hope that his becomes a reality in the next few years with the coming Accountable Care Organizations that are beginning to pop up around the country. Keep your fingers crossed.
Long-Term Care: Your New Priority.

"In Barbados, we have a lot of plants and other natural resources which we may just see as bush or weeds, but many of them have significant medicinal, pharmaceutical and nutritional qualities, and we should really start extracting those properties and creating value added products that can earn us some foreign exchange."
This is the view of two young scientists, Kemar Codrington and Mikhail Eversley, who recently established Oasis Laboratories, which is aimed at doing just that.
Eversley explained that the idea for the company began in 2015, when they were at the University of the West Indies and were asked to find ways to utilize the Sargassum seaweed that was washing ashore on Barbados' coasts.
"We wanted to find a scientific solution, so with the supervision of our Chemistry lecturer, Dr Srinivasa Popuri, and our colleague, Tiffany Husbands, we extracted a compound from the seaweed and used its properties to make natural cosmetics and it was a success," he said.
The two young men said their company was founded on four main pillars: preserving Barbadian and Caribbean heritage; sustainability; innovation; and education.
With that in mind, they are using environmentally friendly packaging for all their products.
"We want to get away from synthetic plastics and would like to develop plastics using the same seaweed," explained Codrington.
The company's 'Oceans' line focuses on products extracted from the sea and beaches. Its products have been named after some of the island's beaches, like Carlisle Bay and Drill Hall, and the packaging includes facts about whales, turtles and coral reefs.
Apart from the Sargassum seaweed, the two are examining tropical almonds found on the Drill Hall beach to determine their chemical properties.
There is also a second line called 'Nature's Melanin' which utilizes chemical extracts from breadfruit and tamarind to make skincare products, including soap.
"Breadfruit has amazing properties. It has natural moisturizers so when you put it in a soap, it is a fantastic product that helps with anti-aging," explained Codrington. "Tamarind is also a good anti-aging product, and we use its pulp to create a soap which acts as a chemical exfoliant. We call the brand 'Nature's Melanin' because we are encouraging our customers to love their skin and take good care of it; they are not bleaching products.
"In our efforts to capture the local market, we also have names with which people are familiar, like 'Roast Breadfruit' and 'Tamarind Ball'. The 'Roast Breadfruit' soap is a combination of breadfruit and charcoal, which has great detoxifying properties and it looks similar to a roast breadfruit, as it is black on the outside and white on the inside. The 'Tamarind Ball' soap, as its name suggests, utilizes a tamarind extract, while 'Cinnamon Fruit Cake' is scented with cinnamon, which also has some healing properties."
The 'Oceans' and 'Nature's Melanin' products are available via Oasis Laboratories' Facebook and Instagram pages, and several retailers have expressed an interest in them as well.
Codrington said their overall aim is to set up a laboratory that will cater to the entire Caribbean, with the goal of making the most of the many natural resources the region has to offer.
"We want to be a lab or a space for young people who can come and explore ideas, but it will be an expensive undertaking. One piece of equipment alone can cost up to a quarter million dollars, and a fully equipped lab can cost as much as $5 million," he said. "What we want to do is create a lab that can serve every sector, such as the rum industry or sugar industry, for analysis. I work at the West Indies Rum Distillery and we have to send out samples to accredited labs in the UK or US every two weeks, so ideally it would be good to keep some of this business in the region."

Business Description
The company, located in Pennsylvania (PA), is a tractor dealership that offers sales and service of compact tractors and related equipment and products to rural property owners. The company has been in business since 2004. It is currently up for sale to qualified buyers exclusively through Raincatcher. The company is focused on providing their customers with quality tractors and equipment to assist them in their farming needs. They have recently started to add a few more products for the small farmer including products related to animal feed and care.
The company carries new top brand tractors and equipment along with varied used tractors as well. The business is the only locally owned tractor dealership in its county, and does not have much in the way in terms of competition in the area. It has a strong and steady income history and significant market share of compact tractor sales in its county (40.7% for 2017). In addition to its dominance in sales, it is also known for its customer service. The company has maintained this consistent success year after year, with the owner not having to spend every day working on the business. The owner travels frequently, and the business runs smoothly without any hiccups during his absence as the general manager is able to run things without any necessary oversight or assistance. This could create a great situation for a passive investor looking to own a business without having to be overly hands on, or on-site every day of the week.
The global compact tractor market is expected to register a CAGR of 4% by 2022. There is a growing demand for these tractors on a global scale and here in the U.S. Small-scale "farmers", many of whom have animals and crops for their own personal use, purchase these tractors to do the work on their land themselves. The increased number of new product launches in this market, and the increased use provide continued growth opportunities in this market.
The company does not carry any long-term debt and provides a great opportunity for a turnkey business in an industry that is on the rise.
Purchase Considerations:
- Well-established business of 15 years with an excellent reputation in the community and with top-tier tractor brands.
- Long-term, quality staff that handles operations with minimal supervision.
- Business that can run without need of constant ownership oversight
- Substantial growth potential through expansion of product line and digital marketing efforts.
- The business does not carry any long-term debt
- Opportunity for strong margins.
The company, located in PA, is wholly owned by its operator who plans to exit the industry following the transaction. The asking price is $5475,000 for the business with an optional $300,000 of inventory. The real estate is available for lease, or valued at $525,000 for outright purchase.

There are two main components to this research project. The first component aims to investigate the hypothesis that proinflammatory cytokines are genetically associated with measures of depression and cognition in adolescents. This component of the research uses a large (approximately 3,000 individuals from 1,000 families) longitudinal study sample from the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute (QIMR). This will allow full exploration of the changes in cytokine levels during adolescence and early adulthood, accounting for both age and stage of puberty.
The second component will measure cytokine levels, cytokine genes, and inflammatory markers (same inflammatory markers as in the longitudinal sample from QIMR) in a clinical sample of adolescents suffering from depression or anxiety or psychosis. These blood results will be compared to the community controls from the longitudinal study.
A whole blood sample (35mLs) will be collected from participants in the clinical sample group after gaining informed consent (from the participant and a parent/legal guardian) for the purposes of collecting and storing DNA, plasma, serum and red blood cells. Participants from this group will also be administered The Adolescent Behaviour and Lifestyle Questionnaire. This is a self-report questionnaire which comprises of the Somatic and Psychological Health Report (SPHERE) and the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (JEPQ). Those participants with a history of trauma will also be administered the Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS). Collection of phenotypic data will assist in correlating the level of symptoms with blood results.
As part of project protocols patient charts will be accessed in order to determine whether the patient is on medication (a s most antidepressants can lower cytokine levels), whether there is a family history of depression, whether this is a first episode of depression (given that heritability i s higher for recurrent versus first episode depression), whether the patient has any medical illness that would affect the cytokine levels (such a s a current flu or an autoimmune disease), and whether there are other confounders for mood such as alcohol.

Dear Ann,
On Oscar Sunday, there is no shortage of entertainment to knit by. Between slow roll of the red carpet interviews, and the awards themselves, a knitter can crank major yardage. The coverage seems to start earlier every year. I wouldn't be surprised if we could watch the nominees brush their teeth this time.
For the past 19 years, I have watched the Academy Awards principally to learn about movies I didn't see. When the kids were little, I got out of the habit of going out to the movies, and it's a good year if I've seen one or two of the Best Picture nominees. I watch pre-Oscar hoopla like a visitor from another planet, trying to figure things out.
For those in a similar boat, we can offer assistance: a printable cheat sheet of the nominees in major categories, downloadable screenplays (including the script for The Big Short, which might help me understand what the heck happened there, even though I saw that one), and an LA Times article to get you current on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy.
For fun, there are honest movie posters (scroll past the junk to the posters).
And finally, an editing tour de force:
Bootie Call
Friends, I need to make a pair of newborn baby booties. Today. To give tomorrow to a friend who is about to undergo the physical and spiritual transfiguration and ascension-to-nirvana known as becoming a grandmother for the first time.
I can't remember the last time I made a pair of baby booties. I may never have made a pair of baby booties. I don't make baby booties lightly, but this friend is the kind of person who will get full enjoyment out of tiny footwear.
Help! Please leave me links to quick 'n' cutie bootie patterns that I can whip up in an hour or two.
Happy Oscar viewing, all!
P.S. Congratulations to Susan J. of Durango, Colorado, who won our drawing for a plush pile of Manos Gloria. Yarn and book are on their way.

Ecologists contrast r- and ^-strategy life histories (see r-Strategist/K-Strategists) to identify the broad pattern of life-history tradeoffs between short-lived organisms with fast maturation, good dispersal ability, and many, small propagules and long-lived organisms with slow maturation, strong competitive ability, and few, well-supplied propagules, respectively. Because resources are finite, selection has forced a tradeoff between colonization ability and competitive ability. This tradeoff also produces a mechanism of species coexistence, called competition-colonization tradeoff.
In systems where disturbance creates colonization opportunities, competition-colonization tradeoffs can lead to coexistence between multiple competitors that share a single, limiting resource. This tradeoff is most easily imagined when the limiting resource is space; the dominant species is a better competitor and will overgrow the fugitive species, which is a better colonizer. Disturbance results in mortality of both species and opens space on the landscape. If the fugitive species can colonize and exploit this new space fast enough, then the dominant and fugitive species can coexist.
We can see competition-colonization tradeoff as one case of colonization-extinction balance. Species coexistence is determined by the relative colonization rates of each species, the mortality rate of both species due to disturbance, and the mortality rate of the fugitive species by competitive exclusion. For coexistence to occur, the fugitive species and dominant species must each solve the problem of colonization-extinction balance; the dominant species must have a high-enough colonization rate to avoid extinction by disturbance alone, while the fugitive species must have a higher colonization rate to withstand extinction from both disturbance and competitive exclusion. It acts at the scale of an individual or small group of individuals and determines whether one or both species will persist.
This pattern of coexistence has been best documented between organisms that compete for space. One classic example of competition-colonization tradeoff is the interaction between the annual sea palm, Postelsia palmaeformis, and the long-lived mussel, Mytilus californianus, in the rocky intertidal of the northeast Pacific. M. californianus is the competitive dominant, which will exclude P. palmaeformis over time. However, in areas of high wave energy, patches of M. californianus are ripped from the rocky substrate and P. palmaeformis colonizes these open patches more quickly than M. californianus. Transplant experiments demonstrate that P. palmaeformis can survive and reproduce in areas of low wave energy; however, in the absence of wave disturbance, it is overgrown by M. californianus. Therefore, when wave energy is high enough, M. californianus mortality due to disturbance and the faster colonization rate of P. palmaeformis allow these two species to coexist. For more on this examples, see section entitled Further Reading.
In Laikipia district of Kenya, fire-prone bushland savannah is dominated by a single species of swollen-thorn acacia tree, Acacia drepanolobium, which is host to four acacia-ant species that are obligate mutualists with A. drepanolobium. The ants nest within the swollen thorns and feed on nectaries of A. drepanolobium; the presence of ants deters herbivores from browsing on A. drepanolobium. Any one acacia tree hosts a single colony of ants. The four species of ants coexist on a single limiting resource of host trees; the species form a strict competitive hierarchy, in which more dominant species displace subordinate species from neighboring host trees. Unoccupied trees arise due to fire and elephant disturbance, which destroys colonies but not trees, and by small trees growing into a habitable size. A tree may be colonized by a colony from a neighboring tree or by a foundress queen. The two subordinate ant species both have higher colonization rates; the most subordinate species produces many more foundress queens to colonize newly available mature trees while the second most subordinate species has a higher than expected rate of colonizing empty neighboring trees by colony expansion. This tradeoff between competitive dominance and colonization ability is one mechanism of coexistence for these four species sharing a single limiting resource. For more on this examples, see the section titled 'Further reading'.

Childhood Treatment: Early Diagnosis Is Key
As the parent or guardian of a young child, you want to do everything you can to set your child up for a happy and healthy future. You already know that it's vital to bring your child to the dentist and teach them good brushing and flossing habits early. Did you know early visits to the orthodontist can be just as helpful?
Diagnosing a developing problem early allows us to intervene faster, preventing the problem from growing worse. While chances are good that your child will still need later orthodontic treatment, we can often reduce the need to remove adult teeth.
Every case is different, so it's essential that you bring your child to us for a full examination. We will evaluate their mouth and let you know what problems we see and how we can help.
Signs Your Child Might Need Early Treatment
You probably won't be able to spot every warning sign or potential problem with your child's teeth – that's what dentists and orthodontists are for. However, you should watch out for these signs:
- Difficulty biting and chewing
- Mouth breathing
- Speech impediments
- Protruding teeth
- Unevenly spaced teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Thumb and/or finger sucking past age 3
If you spot any of the above in your child, make an appointment with us as soon as you can.

Regensburg and Passau
The two most important cities of eastern Bavarian are about 150 km apart and both are worth visiting. The historic city center of the vibrant industrial city of Regensburg with its towers and patrician house is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The bishops city Passau, situated between three rivers (Danube, Inn, Ilz) has an Italian air to it as well as impressive Baroque architecture.

Hi, I'm Cassie. Thanks for visiting! Here's a little about me:
I am a woman of many hats, and thankfully, I enjoy all of them:
Wife: I am blessed with an awesome husband who is the perfect complement to me. He is excellent at all things mathematical, charming with words, a chivalrous gentleman, and helps me lighten up and see the humor in every day situations. I could not have asked for a better provider for our family. I refer to him on the blog as "the hubs" or sometimes, "my hubby".
Mom: We have 3 very spirited chillens age 6 & under:
Our eldest girl, A (6) who is very creative, smart, and helpful.
Our middle 'brother sandwich', B (3) who is funny, smart, and affectionate.
Our youngest girl, C (2) who is sweet, strong-willed, and independent.
It is frequently loud in our house when the kids are at play. I may get frustrated or impatient some days, but they really are the best kids. Many days I am left asking God, "What did I do to deserve such loving, helpful, understanding kids?"
Waitress Extraordinaire: My out of home job 3 nights a week. Serving people, accommodating particular requests, socializing, extending hospitality. I enjoy providing extra income for our family!
Prayer & Pastoral Team: Through our church and school community, I accept prayer requests, coordinate care, and one of my favorite things: praying over cards for people going through difficult situations. I am constantly blown away by what God has to say to His people to comfort them. And honored to be a little link in the process.
Family (wo)man: I am learning how to build better, longer-lasting relationships with the people in my different circles. I love people and learning how to love them better – especially through quality conversation over coffee, tea, or wine!
Natural Momma: (*NEW!*) I am slowly leaning toward more natural solutions to my family's healthcare needs, cleaning dilemmas, personal care, and sleep patterns. I am thoroughly enjoying this journey exploring Essential Oils! You can view the ones I use here. I've always loved the verse from 3 John 1:2 – "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers." I believe as we seek first His kingdom, health is one of the things that is added to us: as our soul is prospering, so does our health. I might have a closet dream of living out on the open land, harvesting our own food and enjoying the work of our hands. Maybe someday. 😉
All in all, I'm just an imperfect lady doing my best to receive all God has for me so I can give to others out of abundance. Though I've been called a Super Mom, I never feel like one. I want to contest the seemingly perfect lives we present on social media and Pinterest with the sometimes messy stories about family, raising kids, and trying to honor God in all I do. I try to embrace and learn from my daily adventures, struggles, and victories associated with pursuing the Proverbs 31 woman!
Cassie was raised in a faithful, religious family which gave her a great foundation for belief and strong sense of community. Family is important to her – both building relationships with current family, and embracing the traditions of her Irish and Italian heritage.
Cassie attended Northern Illinois University's School of Music pursuing a degree in Music Education with an English minor. After 3 semesters and her husband proposing, she left school to build a business with him. They were married in 2006 and have 3 children together. They've discovered that marriage is not easy, but it IS well worth the effort. She is a SAHM by day, waitress by night.
In what free time she can find, she loves to read, write, pray, sing, and study the Word.

Sleepers - A board game for 2 players by Stephen Tavener
In Sleepers, you are the leader of a resistance network operating in occupied France during World War II. Your primary mission is recruit a network of operatives working throughout the country; failing that, eliminating the other networks which are interfering with your own would allow you to build your network without interference. When first recruited, agents are face-down and inactive (sleeper agents); later in the game, they may be activated to perform some task (active agents). The unqualified term 'agents' applies to both active and sleeper agents. Tiles in hand or the bag are merely tiles, bribes and blackmail material which can be used to recruit agents.
