Luzia – London
"When the Cirque du Soleil approaches creators it asks them to venture into new scenographic and narrative territories. (…) We started from stereotypes… in order to overturn them. Ubiquitous slowness? We replaced it with speed – that of the Tarahumara, a Mexican people who live in the mountains and can run up to 200 kilometres non-stop, barefoot or wearing light sandals. Speed thus becomes an interesting element in circus language too, with its quest for extreme performance, thanks to magnificent acrobats and gymnasts drawn from around the world. For us, then, Mexican people display a great physical and spiritual capacity to go beyond incredible limits." Daniele Finzi PascaFind out more »
Corteo – Vitoria-Gasteiz
"I dedicated this dream to the angels, who come and visit me at night. To the world of clowns, to which I belong, to the Cathedral of Chartres, which after my mother's womb, is the second place where I was nurtured. To the pictures that my parents stole to reality, and which I put into movement, to the circuses and to their artists. What I meant to bring forth under the big top is theatre and its peculiar perspective made of overlapping images. I thus asked the acrobats to think as actors would, and to be beautiful and honest, just as beautiful love stories are. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by brilliant creators, with whom I immersed in a common world and a bonding adventure, receiving the full support of a production crew who allowed us to carry on with our dream. I also kept close to the friends from my troupe, Teatro Sunil, with whom I have been seeking beauty and honesty on stage for more than twenty years. To make one's own funeral does feel good. For a moment, one feels necessary and motivated to keep going on this journey, which is in fact but a […]Find out more »
Bianco su Bianco – Lugano
«We are creating a new show that plays –in keeping with our very own approach to storytelling– on the balance between a sweet and nostalgic form of absurd. Regardless of the simplicity and bareness of the theatrical apparatus, ours is a surrealist universe, somehow fiercely serene, a self-reflecting form of theatre, where actors use the proscenium to engage in a dialogue with the audience, where illusion and tricks are always disclosed at the end, where we laugh and are moved, where the clowns do not play the fools, but rather embody the frailness of losing heroes. »Daniele Finzi PascaFind out more »

Mahtab Hanna emphasises the inherent art in jewellery design. Traditional and new techniques are used on a variety of materials, highlighting just how beauty can be achieved through design.
Mother Nature is a fascination and inspiration for the Bodywear Collection; some creations break with convention and re-write the rules as to how jewellery is made, its controversial message and how it's worn, whilst others remain true to the spirit of "dichotomy jewellery" the perpetual life of veins.

Key point 10-07. A church may exercise reasonable care in selecting ministers or other church workers but still be responsible for their misconduct if it "retained" them after receiving information indicating that they posed a risk of harm to others.
Key point 10-09.1. Some courts have found churches liable on the basis of negligent supervision for a worker's acts of child molestation on the ground that the church failed to exercise reasonable care in the supervision of the victim or of its own programs and activities.
An Illinois appeals court affirmed a youth pastor's prison sentence of 40 years for predatory sexual assault of two 12-year-old girls. A youth pastor (the "defendant") engaged in grooming behavior with two 12-year-old girls that culminated in sexual contact.
Victim 1
The grooming behavior with victim 1 included numerous "love letters" and emails. Sexual contact occurred during "Bible quiz" tournaments at three churches. Eventually, the victim informed her parents of the defendant's conduct, and the parents informed the police. Several police officers executed a search warrant on defendant's apartment and seized a laptop computer. The defendant's wife later gave the officers a second laptop computer. The computers were subjected to forensic analysis, and images of child pornography were found. One computer had almost 14,000 images and the other computer had over 15,000 images.

Hi Everyone, it's me, and I'm back again!
My mate Chris got me into Firestorm Planetfall, and being a serial converter, I just couldn't have a bog standard army – I decided that I'd have to re-base all my models on clear acrylic.
Additionally I had to have a pretty cool paint scheme, after a lot of thought and running it by my friends, I came up with a off white and dirty yellow scheme, with blue lasers. I took heavy inspiration from the Mass Effect spaceship Normandy

News: Nov 16, 2016
Bert Sundström from SVT citing a story from his reportage.
In the latest edition of Open Lectures organized at University of Gothenburg's JMG, the lecture was on 'the Safety of Journalists in War and Conflict Zones' participated by Jonathan Lindqvist from Reporters Without Borders, Bert Sundström from SVT, and Magnus Falkehed from Expressen. In two hours, they shared their views and experiences on journalism's pivotal aspects: censorship, reporting from conflict zones (riot-hit areas at home and abroad), precautions the reporters should take while posted in war zones among others.
Reporters Without Borders' (RSF) representative from Sweden, Jonathan Lindqvist, briefed the audience about the activities of the organization which has correspondents in 150 countries hired both fulltime and part-time except in few countries like North Korea. It is the leading organization in compiling annually the 'press freedom index', in protecting journalists, fights against censorships, and most importantly fights on behalf of journalists in protecting their 'sources'.
Jonathan Lindqvist pointed to the growing use of BLUE COAT by countries across the world including the leading democratic countries like the USA and India.
BLUE COAT is American online security system knowns for its Internet censorship equipment using censorship devices. The devices are also used by Internet Service Providers to manage traffic and disconnect unwanted connections. It is notorious for monitoring journalists' and netizens' sources. The device can 'smoke out' online content that uses censored and banned words, thus undermining the Net Neutrality and freedoms at personal and professional levels but a sought-after software for authoritarian and dictatorial regimes.
In 2011, 13 Blue Coat devices were found in Myanmar (formerly Burma), in Syria in 2012 and also used by regimes in Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. A study was conducted by the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab on internet's censoring and surveillance devices used around the world.
Mr Lindqvist termed self-censorship as one of the most undetectable forms of censorship plaguing the world, and confronting the compilation of 'press freedom index'.
Bert Sundström the foreign correspondent of SVT brought to the attention of the audience on the pitfalls (how to run from dangers for life) and excitements (having a whisky at the local press club) of reporting from conflict zones. He highlighted the challenges he faced in sourcing a story with examples from the wars in Yugoslavia (dismembered now but represented by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia, Serbia and Kosovo), South Asia, and from Africa including the countries that saw Arab Spring. He advised the audience 'to know where to run' from the dangers. The dangerous zones and areas of reporting are not only in Southern Hemisphere but also in Europe as witnessed in France and Belgium including terrorists taking control of spaces of mass gatherings such as concert arenas and stadiums. He said, if one cannot run in a situation of danger posed by terrorists or soldiers, fight, do something!
Once the small town boy, Bert Sundström, was deeply influenced to become a doctor or an engineer as result of his encounters with poverty in South America, and was 'very upset' about that. He returned to Sweden to study medicine or engineering but after studying from Uppsala University, he found his calling was in reporting the affairs of the world for the Swedish audience. He said, wars and catastrophes around the world gave him the job and his reportage includes Kashmir in the Indian subcontinent to Ukraine.
Bert emphasized that apart from wearing the right gear (bullet-proof vests and helmets) as demanded of a journalist reporting from conflict zones, he stressed that it is important for the journalist to prepare to be there mentally and intellectually.
Magnus Falkehed from Expressen told the audience about the merits and demerits of rumours that one will hear when a correspondent/reporter is posted in a war zone such as in Syria or ISIS-controlled areas in Iraq. He alerted the would-be journalists as how the journalists have become—and are increasingly becoming—targets of terrorists or state-sponsored goons, even though sojourning in a star-hotel. He noted the importance of being 'on the move' in a conflict area, to watch out for people who maybe disguised as soldiers or police in order to mislead others.
Magnus Falkehed and Niclas Hammarström were kidnapped in 2014 when they were on their way to the airport in Beirut, Libya to fly home. They were in captivity for 46 days. They have chronicled their experiences in their book 'IDAG SKA VI INTE DÖ: Fångar i Krigets Syrien'.
One of the advises the audiences got from the experts is: learn another language or languages if one is serious and aims to report from other parts of the world, and to have some knowledge of the local culture before hitting there such as how to dress (using common sense). They also reminded the audience that the definition of frontlines of war zones is no more traditional. The frontlines have become diffused and dispersed such as in ISIS-controlled Syria and Iraq. Bert Sundström pointed out to the attacks and riots in Europe, and how journalists should be prepared to report.
The lecture elicited answers for the following questions in a Q & A session:
Listen to the questions, answers and discussions.

The Open Lecture was organized by Reporters Without Borders, Postkodslotteriets Cultural Foundation and JMG (Department of Journalism, Media and Communication), University of Gothenburg.

8) Portland Timbers
The champions were the models of quiet consistency last year – so quiet that none of their MLS Cup winning team was named in the MLS best XI. Perhaps that's because theirs was a championship won by the best XXII – Portland's roster ran deep in every position.
Yes, there were significant tactical decisions that played their part – moving Darlington Nagbe into the center of the park turned out to be the masterstroke that Caleb Porter had inexplicably resisted for so long. And the resulting success of Diego Chara as a lone defensive midfielder played a significant part as well.
But when Portland began rolling in the playoffs it became apparent that their roster was the one best built to withstand the late season wear and tear that began to derail their opponents, or left them vulnerable in key spots.
Some of that depth has been lost in the off-season. Jorge Villafana's brilliant MLS Cup performance was his last for the Timbers, and Will Johnson found himself redundant with the Chara move, and is off to Toronto. Maxi Urruti never quite ignited up front but will still have to be replaced as he departs for Dallas.
In come several serviceable though not necessarily inspiring players. Jack McInerney is still very young to be the MLS journeyman he's becoming, while Ned Grabavoy will be trying to rediscover his hardworking RSL form rather than his rather lost period in an NYCFC shirt. Chris Klute too is something of a reclamation project compared to the promise of a couple of years ago.
Not that Porter will see it that way – he's now a proven entity at producing teams and combinations of players that add up to considerably more than the sum of their parts. He'll keep Portland ticking towards another playoffs. GP
Last season: Third in Western Conference, won MLS Cup
Key player: Darlington Nagbe
The new season in one word: Depth
9) Montreal Impact
In the grand catalogue of the Montreal Impact's MLS history so far, things might be chronicled as pre- and post-Didier Drogba. The former Chelsea striker's arrival at Stade Saputo was always designed to prove the entire club with a shot in the arm, but nobody could have envisaged the true impact he would have. Although it might be more appropriate to chart things as pre- and post-Mauro Biello.
The former Canadian international has the Impact job permanently now, after an astonishing finish to 2015, and will now hope to translate last season's late streak into sustained success across the whole campaign. Having kept much of his squad together, Biello has been set the loftiest ambitions of any Montreal head coach before him.
Dilly Duka's exit was a blow, but the arrival of Harry Shipp from the Chicago Fire should offset what the Impact might have lost with his departure. Winger Johan Venegas and Lucas Ontivero – on loan from Galatasaray – will provide Montreal with additional creativity in attack, although their 2016 fortunes might depend on whether they count on Drogba beyond the summer.
The Ivorian was widely expected to leave MLS to return to Chelsea as part of Guus Hiddink's coaching staff this winter. But whilst Montreal managed to keep hold of Drogba for now, owner Joey Saputo has admitted his continued stay might not be so certain. If the Impact required any confirmation of the striker's importance to their hopes and dreams, they need not cast their eye back so far. GR
Last season: Third in Eastern Conference, lost in Conference semi-finals
Key player: Didier Drogba
The new season in one word: Reliant
10) Sporting KC
Sometimes consistency isn't enough. Sporting KC have been arguably MLS's steadiest club in recent years, with Peter Vermes building his team around a core of mainstays like Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Chance Myers and Roger Espinoza. Vermes himself has been at Sporting since 2009, and there is a certain stability at Sporting Park that must be the envy of many around the league. At what point does that become boring, though?
Since winning MLS two years ago, Sporting KC have finished fifth and sixth in the conference standings, failing to make it past the play-offs' wildcard round in each of those seasons. Of course, it's perhaps somewhat unfair to criticise Vermes' side for last season's performance, given the sheer number of injuries meted out over the course of the campaign. Their backline in particular found itself decimated, with Ike Opara and Espinoza suffering long-term injuries. By the law of luck, surely they can't endure such misfortune this season?
Regardless, there was something a little too safe about Sporting KC last term. Much of that was down to Dom Dwyer's diminished goal return (scoring just 12 over the course of the campaign compared to 22 the season before), although Benny Feilhaber's form went some way to mitigating that. His 10 goals and 15 assists in 2015 might not have been good enough for Jürgen Klinsmann, but he remains the dynamo around which Sporting KC (and their hopes for the season) revolve.
Vermes' lineup could still use some additional width and pace on the flanks, despite the signing of both Brad Davies and Justin Mapp in the off-season, with a lack of attacking depth behind Dwyer still a concern (although the capture of 19-year-old Daniel Salloi might ease that). Sporting KC's season might not be decided on the pitch, though - it might rely on how empty they can keep their treatment room. GR
Last season: Sixth in Western Conference, lost in knockout round of playoffs. Won US Open Cup
Key player: Benny Feilhaber
The new season in one word: Steady
11) New England Revolution
The fallout from Jermaine Jones' six-game suspension and protracted contract wrangle has reverberated around Revolution HQ for much of the off-season, leaving fans scratching their heads at what to expect of last season's play-off flame-outs.
Their contentious 2-1 post-season defeat at DC United – which caused Jones to have his moment of madness with referee Mark Geiger and led to the ban – raised serious question marks over the team's ability to break through when it counts most.
Head coach Jay Heaps is having none of it, though. His steady touch at the tiller ensures it remains an evolutionary process as he heads into his fifth year in charge of a promising team that experienced some wild swings of the pendulum in 2015, including nine- and eight-game unbeaten runs, another streak of just one win in 10, and a distinct damp squib at the end.
Without Jones – and with newly-tabbed designated player Xavier Kouassi ruled out for the season after a knee injury in Switzerland – Heaps has brought in Vancouver's Gershon Koffie to fill the midfield void. Sporting Lisbon centre-back Sambinha is another notable newcomer, but otherwise the Revs are happy to go forward with their squad largely intact from last season.
That means another year for home-grown Uruguayan prospect Diego Fagundez to develop alongside the attacking talents of Juan Agudelo and Charlie Davies, backed by one of the sharpest midfield units on its day.
The likes of Lee Nguyen, Teal Bunbury, Kelyn Rowe and Scott Caldwell proved irresistible at times last time out, but their inconsistency – highlighted by the team's two prolonged poor spells – remains Heaps' biggest challenge. If Koffie can at least be Jones-light, one of the biggest concerns will have been met. If Nguyen then recaptures his sparkling goalscoring form of 2014, the Revolution will be hard to stop. SV
Last season: Fifth in Eastern Conference, lost in knockout round
Key player: Lee Nguyen
End result: Outsiders
12) Orlando City
Nothing less than a play-off place will satisfy the Orlando City hierarchy in year two of their MLS journey, but they also believe the bulk of last season's squad is good enough to get them there.
To that end, only relatively minor tweaks have been made, the most notable being the protracted battle to bring Italian midfielder Antonio Nocerino in from Milan, after a player rights squabble with DC United that was finally resolved by City handing over allocation money to their Eastern Conference rivals.
Nocerino is expected to shake up an attacking midfield that was too often short of quality in 2015, despite the best efforts of star designated player Kaká. The return of ACL injury victim Kevin Molino should also help in that respect, along with a second year for Swiss wide man Adrian Winter and mercurial but raw Colombian speedster Carlos Rivas.
The added midfield depth, which also includes first-round SuperDraft pick Richie Laryea, will allow Brek Shea an extended run at left back now he has shaken off the effects of last season's sports hernia surgery, while the addition of former New England right-back Kevin Alston provides competition for the talented but temperamental Rafael Ramos.
At centre-back, head coach Adrian Heath will perm two of David Mateos – another mid-season pick-up from last year now fully settled – Aurélien Collin and Seb Hines, with youthful back-up in the form of Tommy Redding and Conor Donovan.
Behind them, former Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik will look to take over from last season's stalwart Tally Hall, who was released at the end of the campaign following another knee injury.
Arguably the biggest question mark will be up front, though. Cyle Larin bagged a rookie record 17 goals in 2015 but will need to continue scoring at that rate – and receive more support from Kaká and Co – if this team is to meet its desired aim. SV
Last season: Seventh in Eastern Conference
Key player: Cyle Larin
The new season in one word: Midfield
13) New York City FC
As NYCFC's debut season progressed, and it became apparent that the team was just not gelling, opinions on head coach Jason Kreis split into two camps – he was either seen as out of his depth in dealing with his big name players, especially with the scrutiny that comes with coaching in New York, or he was undermined in trying to build a roster by being 'gifted' designated players whose marketing value arguably outstripped their technical merits for the specific challenge NYCFC faced.
Certainly, expansion teams generally find their feet through the rather unglamorous virtues of hard work first, creativity second, and Kreis was never quite able to conjure a coherent vision for a midfield that might accommodate Andrea Pirlo, and, say, Ned Grabavoy. And now Kreis, and for that matter, his former RSL player Grabavoy, are gone, and Patrick Vieira has arrived to try and impose his own personality on the team.
Vieira should at least have the respect of his senior professionals, and be ideally placed to build on the first season promise of Kwadwo Poku – the Yaya-Touré emulating midfielder who was one of the intermittent bright spots of NYCFC's season last year. That said, New York also traded for the number one pick at the Superdraft, Jack Harrison, and with Federico Bravo also on loan from Boca Juniors, their midfield options alongside Frank Lampard and Pirlo are still not quite clear.
But it's at the back where NYCFC really suffered last year, so a lot will be expected of the incoming Frederic Brillant in shoring up the heart of their defense. Once again, NYC's playoff chances will not be determined by how many they score, but how many they concede, especially late on. GP
Last season: Eighth in Eastern Conference
Key player: Frederic Brillant
The new season in one word: Leaky
14) DC United
It's never wise to set too much stock in the Photoshopped images that first accompany stadium announcements – local realpolitik quickly tends to whittle these packed futuristic spaceships down to visions resembling a more modest suburban hardware store by the time it comes to break ground.
Still, there may have been something particularly disheartening for DC United fans when they saw the scaled-down renderings of their proposed future home at Buzzard Point. That's because DC's roster seems to be in a permanent holding pattern as the owners hold on to revenue to build the stadium, so anything that seems to compromise the "gratification" part of "deferred gratification" might be tough for the fans to take – particularly when the last couple of years have seen playoff defeats to the hated Red Bulls.
It arguably doesn't help that Ben Olsen's utilitarian team are not the easiest on the eye – even if for a long stretch of last year, his mix of veteran guile and younger, hardworking midfielders, was very effective in grinding out results.
Don't necessarily expect a significant change in style this year – Lamar Neagle and Marcelo Sarvas are classic MLS everyman players of the kind Olsen favors, and their addition to the roster suggests, at first glance, another season of the same. Neagle is a versatile attacking midfielder, while Sarvas will pick up the defensive midfield duties of the Europe-bound Perry Kitchen. They're just two of a raft of midfield reinforcements that generally replace like with like when you look at the outgoing personnel.
Where there is a wrinkle in the approach is in the addition of creative midfielder Luciano Acosta on loan from Boca Juniors. It's been a while since DC had a convincing playmaker, and Acosta looks the part. So do stadium renderings mind you …
But the big problem for the team is that the man who won them a lot of points on his own last year, goalkeeper Bill Hamid, is out through injury till the summer. GP
Last season: Fourth in Eastern Conference, lost in Conference semi-finals
Key player: Andrew Dykstra
The new season in one word: Goalkeeping

Bridge the Hunger Gap With a Friday Backpack!
Click here to read the Union-Bulletin article about the Backpack Bridge event.
How you can be engaged:
- Watch for information about Mr. Whitman activities through the month of October including two bag building events on Whitman College Campus and the Mr. Whitman Pageant on November 4th. Mr. Whitman is a fundraiser of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority on Whitman Campus. They have selected the Backpack Bridge project as their charity this year.
- Sponsor one of eight Bag Building Events where you recruit 25-30 people to come together and build a month's worth (2,000) of food bags.
- Volunteer to transport food bags to a Walla Walla Valley elementary school.
About the Backpack Program:
Currently, one third of the population we serve is under the age of 18. The problem is that children who face very low food security are more likely to report 4 or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) leading to lifelong struggles with emotional, physical and spiritual health. Reports of physical and emotional abuse are shown to be significantly associated with very low food security. These children have lower test scores and poorer comprehension of basic reading and math skills. They are often labeled as 'troubled' as they frequently are plagued by lack of attention, outbursts, and hyperactivity. They have stunted growth, higher rates of acute and chronic illnesses, much higher rates of obesity and type-2 diabetes, as well as cavities and weak enamel. They miss more school than their more food- secure counterparts and are more often required to enroll in summer school or to repeat a grade. Further reading about the psychology of food insecure children can be found at the following links:
Link Between Childhood Adversity and Food Insecurity
Psychological Effects of Hunger on Children
For each of the past three years, we have built and distributed 300 to 360 bags of food to food insecure students right before both winter and spring breaks. During the school week these students receive free or reduced cost meals from the school, but go hungry during those extended breaks from the school meal program. To enhance the effectiveness of our child hunger initiative BMAC expanded the goal to also provide Friday food packs to students every weekend during the spring of 2017. During the spring of 2017 we provided 18% (91 backpacks) of the goal for the 2017-2018 school year.
This year, we intend to expand the distribution of the Friday Backpack program from five elementary schools to all twelve elementary schools in Walla Walla County and provide weekend nutrition for 20% (492 backpacks) of the kids eligible for free and reduced cost meals at those schools. To reach our goal we need to raise $78,720. Each pack of food costs $4 and provides two breakfasts, two lunches and snacks. Each student requires one pack of food for each of the forty Fridays of the school year totaling $160 per student per school year. Sponsoring all 492 students for one week would cost $1,968. The Backpack Bridge fundraiser will help fund the expansion of this program.

Pollutant Information: Selenium
About Selenium
Category: Heavy metals and base cations
Acute exposure to selenium by inhalation results in respiratory effects such as irritation to the mucous membranes, severe bronchitis and bronchial pneumonia. Selenium emissions have declined by 87% since 1990. The majority of selenium emissions in earlier years were from coal-fired power stations in particular and coal combustion generally, but emissions from coal combustion have fallen by 96% as coal use has declined. Coal remains a significant source in 2017, contributing 22% of UK emissions. In 2017, steelmaking is accounting for 26% of total emissions. The use of selenium by the glass industry is also a significant source – 16% of emissions in 1990 and 12% in 2017, however the mass emitted has been reduced by 90% over that period by eliminating the use of selenium or control on particulate emissions from glass furnaces.

Ocean Yield to Add Four Boxships with Long-Term Charters
Norwegian shipowner Ocean Yield has agreed to acquire four 3,800 TEU container vessels with 12-year bareboat charters.
The company said that the purchase price for the quartet is USD 120 million net of pre-paid charter-hire.
The boxships are expected to be delivered to Ocean Yield during the early part of third quarter 2018.
Built in 2014, the units are chartered to companies owned and guaranteed by Belgium's dry bulk transporter CMB NV. CMB will have certain options to acquire the vessels during the charter period, with the first purchase option exercisable after five years.
"We are pleased to increase our investments in container vessels with four modern carriers with long-term charters to CMB. The transaction further diversifies our client base and increases our charter backlog," Lars Solbakken, Ocean Yield ASA's Chief Executive Officer, said.

2 level tab strip example ?
Does anyone have a two level tab strip template / code they'd be willing to share?
I.e. something that creates an Amazon style set of top level tabs with a 2nd level menu (though not necessarily with graphics for the top tabs).
I'm thinking this would match a two level folder heirarchy. E.g. copying Amazon, a folder structure like:
New Releases
... etc
Browse Subjects
... etc
Or maybe a starting point? I'm guessing this is pretty simple, but I'm pretty lazy (though I did just spend 30 mins looking around for a template / code that does this already :->).
thanks in advance!

Bike polo - IMHO - is one of the funnest (is that a word?) things you can do on a bike, and here in Calgary, we have 2 dedicated polo groups that play regularly during the warmer months of the year. The oldest, continuously running games are hosted by the Grassturds with those fellas playing for close to 20 years now. In the last few years, the hardcourt game has become popular too - and its my personal favorite. Hardcourt games, as the name implies, are played on a hard surface - parking lots, hockey rinks (sans ice) - they all work. The rules are slightly different between the two games with "like" contact being allowed in the hardcourt game and mallets/balls are also different between the games.
If you like riding your bike, having the occasional bevvie, and hanging out with other bikeophiles - you owe it to yourself to come and try it out this summer - you will love it!

MAYWOOD, Ill. — Binge-drinking teenagers may be putting themselves at risk for future osteoporosis and bone fractures, according to researchers at Loyola University Health System.
A new Loyola study has found long-lasting disruptions in hundreds of genes involved in bone formation in rats. The study is published in the July-August issue of the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism.
"Lifestyle-related damage done to the skeleton during young adulthood may have repercussions lasting decades," bone biologist John Callaci, PhD, and colleagues wrote.
Callaci cautioned that data from animals don't directly translate to people. "But the findings certainly suggest that this could be a problem with humans," he added.
Bone mass is lost throughout adult life as part of the aging process. Thus, anything that inhibits the build up of bone mass during the critical years of adolescence and young adulthood could increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in later life.
Binge drinking is defined as a woman having at least four drinks or a man having at least five drinks on one occasion. Heavy binge drinkers can consume 10 to 15 drinks. Binge drinking typically begins around age 13 and peaks between 18 and 22, before gradually decreasing. Thirty-six percent of youths ages 18 to 20 reported at least one binge-drinking episode during the past 30 days, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
A 2008 study by Callaci and colleagues found that adolescent rats exposed to alcohol in amounts comparable to that of binge drinkers had 15 percent less bone build-up than control rats exposed to saline solution.
The new study examined the effects of binge drinking on genes. Rats received injections of alcohol that resulted in a blood alcohol level of 0.28. (By comparison, a motorist with a blood alcohol level higher than 0.08 is legally drunk.) Rats were exposed to binge amounts of alcohol on either three consecutive days (acute binge) or three consecutive days for four weeks in a row (chronic binge). They were compared to control rats who received saline.
Researchers found that about 300 bone-related genes were disrupted in rats exposed to acute binge drinking and 180 bone-related genes were disrupted in rats exposed to chronic binge drinking. In the affected genes, alcohol either increased or decreased the amount of associated RNA. (RNA serves as the template for making proteins, the building blocks of bones and other tissue.) This change in how genes are expressed disrupted molecular pathways responsible for normal bone metabolism and maintenance of bone mass.
In one of the most disturbing findings, researchers found that the gene disruption was long-lasting. Even after 30 days of sobriety, the genes still were being expressed differently. (Thirty days in a rat's lifespan is roughly equivalent to about three years in a human lifespan.)
The findings might help in the development of new drugs to minimize bone loss in alcohol abusers and in other people who are at risk for osteoporosis for other reasons.
"If we understand the mechanism of bone loss, eventually we will be able to figure out how to fix it," Callaci said.
Of course, the best way to prevent alcohol-induced bone loss is to drink moderately or not at all, Callaci said. "But when prevention doesn't work, we need other strategies to limit the damage."
Co-authors of the new study are Loyola graduate students Kristen Lauing and Phillip Roper and lab technician Ryan Himes.
The study was supported by a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Based in the western suburbs of Chicago, Loyola University Health System is a quaternary care system with a 61-acre main medical center campus, the 36-acre Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus and 28 primary and specialty care facilities in Cook, Will and DuPage counties. The medical center campus is conveniently located in Maywood, 13 miles west of the Chicago Loop and 8 miles east of Oak Brook, Ill. The heart of the medical center campus, Loyola University Hospital, is a 561-licensed-bed facility. It houses a Level 1 Trauma Center, a Burn Center and the Ronald McDonald® Children's Hospital of Loyola University Medical Center. Also on campus are the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, Loyola Outpatient Center, Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine and Loyola Oral Health Center as well as the LUC Stritch School of Medicine, the LUC Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing and the Loyola Center for Fitness. Loyola's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus in Melrose Park includes the 264-bed community hospital, the Gottlieb Center for Fitness and the Marjorie G. Weinberg Cancer Care Center.

National Academics Developing New Opioid Prescribing Guidelines
By Emily Cox
Federal regulators have announced a plan to develop scientific-based opioid prescribing guidelines to prevent overexposure to the powerful painkillers that are currently linked to more than 40 fatal overdoses every day in the United States.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb issued a statement August 22 to announce a new study to help provide evidence-based guidelines for opioids to create more rational prescribing practices.
The FDA also announced that the National Academics of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) will help develop the new scientific-based and indication-specific opioid prescribing guidelines by reexamining how physicians are currently prescribing opioid analgesics and when these medical professions consider them an appropriate course of treatment.
NASEM plans to conduct a consensus study to identify and prioritize medical procedures and conditions that have incumbent acute pain that medically necessitates opioid prescriptions and determine the length of time that opioids are necessary to regulate that pain.
Opioid Prescribing Guidelines in Response to Ongoing Crisis
The United States opioid epidemic continues to ravage the country, killing more and more people each year. The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have indicated that deaths related to the opioid crisis are at an all-time high with fatal overdoses increasing nearly 140 percent. From 2015 to 2016, drug overdoses increased 21.5 percent, causing 64,000 deaths with more than 66 percent, or 42,000, of those involving the prescription painkillers.
Most individuals who become addicted to opioids are first prescribed these powerful synthetic medications through physicians. An analysis of current prescribing practices indicates that most individuals are given a 30-day supply of prescription opioids when the patients only theoretically require the potent drugs for a few days. Officials suggest that patients can develop opioid addiction within the first couple days or weeks.
Excess opioid medications commonly wind up on the illicit market, abused, or misused by family members and friends of those with opioid prescriptions. Patients who receive prescriptions for more opioids than medically necessary can also find themselves more prone to abusing or misusing the drugs, leading to overdoses.
The organization will hold a series of public workshops and meetings over the next couple months for stakeholders to collaborate on ideas and analyze current opioid prescribing guidelines to further develop better prescription policies that more closely adhere to clinical need while reducing patients' overexposure to the highly addictive drugs.

Grove GMK tandem lift at Detroit docks6 March 2019
JJ Curran, a Detroit, Michigan-based crane rental and lifting service company, has used two Grove all terrain cranes to hoist a 116.5USt gas scrubber.
The project involved hoisting the scrubber, which was 109ft long and 19.5ft in diameter, from a barge docked on the Detroit River to the dock on Zug Island. Once landed on Zug Island, it will be transported to its final destination at the steel mill. The scrubber will be set vertically in position at the mill during a plant-wide shutdown this coming spring.
Knowing the details of the lift, JJ Curran deployed its Grove GMK6300L and GMK6400 all-terrain cranes. Both machines were purchased from the Riverdale, Illinois-based Manitowoc dealer Walter Payton Power Equipment (WPPE).
"The weight of the scrubber and 75ft distance from the center of the barge to the landing spot were definitely the biggest challenges," said Chad McComas, crane operator and field engineer at JJ Curran. "An additional challenge was the 2 mph current of the Detroit River. We had to make the lift off the barge that was in the river."

Jet2.com will operate 90,000 additional seats out of Stansted for the forthcoming summer and winter seasons.
The growth in capacity will be driven by the introduction of an additional aircraft at the airport from a July, giving it a total of 10 based there.
The decision will mean another 50,000 seats available for the summer and 40,000 for the winter, when a brand new route to Turin will be operated.
The summer season will see Jet2.com and sister brand Jet2holidays offer 33 destinations for the summer, with resorts in Lanzarote, Menorca and Corfu all benefiting.
Meanwhile, winter will see 26 destinations operated out of Stansted, including the new route to Turin.
Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive Steve Heapy said: "Just last week we announced how successful our first year at London Stansted has been, and we are delighted to be building on that with more good news today.
"The addition of a tenth based aircraft at London Stansted means we are creating even more new jobs in the local area, and are adding more choice, including the launch of a fantastic new ski route to Turin."

Tarte fine aux pommes
Sep 18, 2014 3:57am
Australian Gourmet Traveller recipe for tarte fine aux pommes.
- 20 mins preparation
- 40 mins cooking plus resting
- Serves 4 - 6
- 375 gm puff pastry (see our puff pastry recipe here)
- 60 gm caster sugar
- Scraped seeds of 1 vanilla bean
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3-4 small Granny Smith apples, unpeeled
- 40 gm butter, melted
Cinnamon-verjuice syrup
- 220 gm (1 cup) caster sugar
- 150 ml verjuice
- Thinly peeled rind and juice of 1 orange
- 3 cinnamon quills
- 1 vanilla bean, split, seeds scraped
- 1Preheat oven to 200C. Roll out pastry to 3mm thick, place on a tray and refrigerate to rest (30 minutes).
- 2Meanwhile, for cinnamon-verjuice syrup, stir ingredients and 80ml water in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, bring to the boil and cook until a light syrup forms (10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
- 3Cut out a 23cm-diameter round from pastry, place on an oven tray lined with baking paper and set aside. Rub sugar, vanilla seeds and cinnamon in a bowl to combine, then pass through a sieve and set aside. Trim ends from apples, thinly slice on a mandolin (discard seeds), then layer over pastry in concentric circles, leaving a 1cm border. Brush apples with half the butter, then scatter half the sugar mixture evenly over and bake until starting to puff and turn golden (10-15 minutes). Remove from oven and brush with remaining butter, scatter with remaining sugar, then return to oven until dark golden and cooked through (20-25 minutes; cover edges of pastry with foil if they start to darken too much). Serve warm drizzled with cinnamon-verjuice syrup and with crème fraîche.

MSNBC also won't cover the event live but might show clips during its newscast. CNN hasn't commented on its plans for the hour-long event at the National Mall.
Meanwhile, Fox News will have a two-hour special on the event and C-SPAN will air it live starting at 6.15pm.
Trump has touted his 'Salute to America' as being 'like no other' and plans to give a speech at the Lincoln Memorial as he shows off the US military's might.
ABC decided to carry on with its regular programming of World News Tonight with David Muir and Jeopardy! instead of airing the event live.
NBC will have on NBC Nightly News With Lester Holt and Extra during the time slot and CBS will run its nightly newscast and Inside Edition.
On Tuesday, it was announced Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Airport will be briefly shut down on Thursday in order to accommodate Trump's 'biggest fireworks ever', as he adds extra touches to this year's event.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced on Tuesday that flights would be grounded from National during the flypast featuring Air Force One, the Blue Angels - the US Navy's flight demonstration squadron - and other military planes from 6.15pm to 7.15pm.
It will also ground flights again from 9pm to 9.45pm when the fireworks kick off.
In past years, operations weren't suspended because there weren't flyovers and the fireworks were in another location, CNN reported.
The launch area for the fireworks, which is usually near the Lincoln Memorial, had to be moved so Trump could give his speech in front of the monument.
The fireworks display will be twice as long as those in the past and include new elements - such as a massive American flag and the words 'U.S.A.' spelled out in the sky.
Bands will play and the president will give a speech before the Lincoln Memorial.

Bontrager is a subsidiary of Trek that produces bike components, accessories and apparel. The company challenged us to create a high-quality, lightweight, adjustable fit system with a compelling aesthetic to match their sleek helmet design.
Interpreting Bontrager's vision from images of sunglasses and fighter jets, our industrial designers created a high-end look with a true wow factor.
Our mechanical engineers investigated several options to create a system that adjusts smoothly and maintains tension around the riders head. After evaluating the impact on design and human factors, the team selected a wrap spring clutch. Several proof of principle models were tested to ensure it could resist the torque, even when wet. The team eliminated wires and cables, which reduced the number of parts and cost to manufacture. The design was optimized and materials were selected to reduce the weight.
Bontrager wanted an audible signal for users when adjusting the helmet. Our design provided Trek with the ability to tweak the strength of the audible and tactile click to achieve precisely the user experience they desired.
The adjustment wheel is located on the back of the helmet, which means the rider is reaching behind to use an unseen mechanism. Human Factors evaluated different ways to engage the system with one hand, identifying the most user-friendly solution.
The result is the Headmaster retention system, a key feature of the Oracle helmet. The easy, one-handed fit system is adjustable by height and head circumference. It effectively wraps around the skull, eliminating pressure points. Our industrial design team crafted a hubless form factor, giving the product a distinct signature appearance.
Bontrager Oracle was the helmet of the Radio Shack Nissan Trek team of 30 professional riders competing in world-class races including the Tour de France. As a branding bonus, the riders were easily identified by the jewel-like donut on the rear of the Oracle helmet.

Philips Streamium WACS700/37
The Philips Streamium WACS700/37 ($1,000) is the company's latest addition to its Streamium line of digital media receivers. It comprises two components: the main Music Center and the smaller Station, each of which includes an AM/FM tuner, an integrated amplifier, and built-in flat panel speakers. The Music Center incorporates a 40GB internal hard drive for music storage and playback, as well as slot-loading CD player/ripper, which is located on its top panel. The smaller Station is a more basic client device designed to stream audio from the Music Center's hard drive. The two automatically set up their own wireless link with each other--separate from any home network you may be running--but you can, in turn, hook them into your home Ethernet or Wi-Fi network. You transfer music onto the Music Center's hard drive either by ripping tracks from CDs or by copying them from your PC (if you've opted for the aforementioned network connection). With additional units available for purchase at $300, the Music Center is capable of simultaneously streaming music to up to five stations while its local playback is also active. Oddly, you can't stream audio from your PC's hard drive or the Internet to the Music Center, but you can stream from your PC to the Station. Moreover, it doesn't support copy-protected audio files such as those purchased from iTunes and Napster.
The Music Center and the Station have generally similar appearances, although at 24 by 12 by 7 inches, the Music Center is considerably larger than the 14-by-11-by-5-inch Station. Both units come with desktop stands and wall-mounting hardware. Each has a full assortment of front-panel controls and its own remote. The Music Center's remote is a well-designed, two-way unit featuring a backlit LCD. The station's blister-button remote is much more basic but nonetheless adequate. All in all, navigating both devices is intuitive, thanks to four-way keypads located on each unit's front panel and remote. Music can be navigated by all the usual categories, including playlists, artists, albums, genres, and all tracks. The Music Center has a 2-by-2.5-inch screen, while the Station's measures 1 by 1.75 inches; both are backlit.
Connectivity isn't extensive. The Music Center offers an analog stereo input and a matching stereo output as well as a headphone minijack. The Station has only an analog stereo auxiliary input and a headphone minijack. The Music Center's amplifier delivers 13 watts to each of its two flat panels and 22 watts to each of its two bass drivers, while the Station's amp provides 4 watts to each of its two flat panels and 8 watts to its single bass driver.
Initial setup was essentially automatic, but things got hairy after we changed the Music Center's configuration to connect it to our wireless network and transfer some tracks from our PC. In a nutshell, it took a couple of tries to connect both units simultaneously to our wireless network and each other, but we eventually prevailed.
For files located on the Music Center's hard drive, support is limited to MP3s and nonprotected WMAs. By contrast, many less expensive digital audio receivers offer broader file-format support. The Music Center can play audio CDs as well as home-burned CDs containing nonprotected WMAs and MP3s, though it can't stream CDs to the Station. The rated CD-ripping speed of 4X is glacially slow by PC standards. Files are ripped to the MP3 format at only 128Kbps or 160Kbps. You can use the Music Center's remote to create playlists, or you can compile them in the Digital Media Manager software for transfer to the Music Center. Using Digital Media Manager, you can also import PLS and M3U playlists from your PC's hard drive.

Yesterday was our first day of popup coworking in Portsmouth and it was truly fab! Though we say so ourselves! ? and so Phlex is now officially up and running!
A great turnout for our first day – thanks so much to See Change Happen, Art2Arts, Peas in a Pod Consulting, Audazzle, Jorge Bergasa, Natalia Michalska, Beat The Seat, Kim Wilkinson, Mona King, Gethin Jones, Martin Holwill.
Coffee, tea, mince pies from our friends at Mum and Dads Kitchen (don't expect those seasonal treats every time folks!), chat…..oh and a bit of work…!
It was a very lovely feeling indeed looking round and seeing people do exactly what we hoped they'd do – work of course, but also get to know each other and start to build the relationships that will support them in the future.
Some came on their own, some came with colleagues and used it as a meeting and catch-up day, and that's the whole point – use it however suits you.
Personally I did very little work apart from the 1st half of this blog (because Caroline told me I had to!….and I always do as I'm told?!), and generally swan around, eating mince pies and feeling pretty chuffed with it all.
So the whole point of these popups is to find out what works, what doesn't, what you (the co-workers and space providers) want and need so that we can make our service everything you want and need it to be. If you have any feedback or suggestions for us we'd really love to hear it – please don't think you have to only tell us nice things because although the nice stuff is obviously lovely to hear, it's the not so nice stuff that really helps us grow and improve, so don't be shy – let us know.
2017 has been pretty crazy. It's been a very busy few months getting us to this point and we have lots more still to do to get the app up and running and working for you in the new year, but we've loved every minute of it so far and can't wait to really get going.
Come and work with us in 2018 – see the website and facebook for more details as we list them, but for now it's Kings Street Tavern every Wednesday 10-4 in January and many more in the pipeline.

I came across this great editorial, in Models.com site. I just love this kind of visual and photographic out of place influences! 🙂
"Considering the complex (and often antagonistic) relationship between the fashion industry and rights issues like human trafficking and fair labor, the idea of a luxury freedom fighter is a bit of an oxymoron. Not that you can't fight for equality while wearing Celine pumps, but real life rarely offers such opportunities.
Of course that has never stopped fashion from, editorializing the fantasy of guerilla girls dressed in the season's latest trends. V Spain serves up an intriguing take on the theme with a slick story shot by Nathaniel Goldberg and featuring a series of chic pieces from Margiela, Ralph Lauren and of course Celine all chosen by Gillian Wilkins. The images present a vision of well dressed rebellion and are dedicated to "all the courageous women who defend their ideals. They are masters of their own destiny, their voices songs that celebrate the beauty of freedom."
Beautiful words, but how do you feel about the pictures? Sporting perfectly tilted berets and wildly hair coiffed by Shon, Edita looks like exactly what she is – a stunning top model playing dress up in revolutionary drag. In some pics it works, especially when she gives that powerful gaze, but even with a dagger in hand or holding down a semi-automatic, she still seems wildly out of place. Perhaps that is intentional – we can't help but get some Patty Hearst, gun wielding socialite vibes in a couple shots. Let us know what you're getting from this story in the comments." – Models.com

Make Up Forever's professional make up courses continue to be a big success in Portugal, thanks to its representative Expansão York, with classes both in Lisbon and Oporto.
This time i present you with the great work from Ana Soares, one of the students that finished her course last month. Here are some shots i took.
For this photos i used three Profoto Pro Heads attached to 2 Profoto Pro-B3 Air blocks. 2 of the heads, with regular Zoom reflectors were used for the background and the other head was used as keylight with a white Beauty Dish.
On each side of the model i had a white reflector board and, from beneath, a Photoflex Silver reflector disc.
As usual i used my good old Canon EOS 7D with a Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM.

After being featured by Profoto and in the italian Vogue website the fashion editorial "Show me the night", shot for BLESS magazine, was once again awarded with a new feature in an international fashion website, based in New York. This time it was fashionserved that presented us with a feature on their website. Oscar Ramos Orozco, Fashion Served's editor, wrote the following e-mail:

I can only say i'm very proud and congratulate the whole team!
At the end of last month i shot the first of several make up shoots in collaboration with the international brand Make Up Forever.
I headed to one of their portuguese offices in Oporto and photographed the work of one of their students, Márcia Almeida. Using a two Profoto heads attached to a Profoto Pro-7s. One with a white beauty dish, in front of the model, and another one just to light the background, as i wanted a nice clean white background.
Check the rest of the photos here!
A new editorial i shot for BLESS magazine just got out. Named "Lady of the manor" it depicts a young woman living in a house full of wonders and random nonsense.

If you're looking for a new driveway, regardless of the style, then you're at the right place. We're Sydney based concreters who specialise in a variety of different driveway styles. Whatever style you're interested in, you can be sure that we can pull it off without a hitch. For those who are interested in a traditional plain concrete driveway, we can do that. It's the most cost effective option and when done right will look great and outlast the house it's attached to. It isn't something that you should leave to the amateurs though; if a concrete driveway is laid incorrectly you can end up with all sorts of problems. If air bubbles are left in the mix then you can end up with cracks down the road. And if the base isn't constructed properly then you can end up with an uneven driveway which not only looks unsightly, but can also at risk for cracking in the future.
Being concreting specialists we do this day in, day out, so you can trust that we know what we're doing, so that when you hire us to do the job, it gets done right 100% of the time. And of course, if you're after something a little more exotic than plain concrete, we can do that too. In fact, in recent years these options are becoming more and more popular. Stamped driveways are one possibility; using stamps we can give the driveway a variety of looks such as asphalt or slate tile. You also have the option of choosing stencils to make the driveway more attractive. Using several stencils we can add a paver look, a sandstone look, or just about any other pattern you can think of. On top of this, you can also choose to have your driveway whatever colour you want. Go for something low-key or something bold, the choice is yours. So give us a call and we'll give you an obligation free quote as soon as we can.
