1. Introduction
Because marketing discipline is evolving continuously, researchers and practitioners are in a permanent adaptation process of their focus, thought and practice. At each step of the marketing evolution new tools and strategies are implemented to gain insights and reach theoretical and managerial objectives (Maklan and Klaus, 2011; Kumar, 2015; Batat, 2019).While trying to adapt to changing marketing, companies face pressures for instance in driving brand awareness, in building an outstanding customer experience, enhancing customer loyalty, and increasing profits (Ismail, 2011; Cachero-Martínez and Vázquez-Casielles, 2017). Nowadays, organizations encourage consumers to take part in the production process. Customers become co-producers of the service and they shape the value of the final outputs (Batat, 2019). Therefore, the service can be seen as form of value rather than activity (Edvardsson, 2005). The value does not exist only in the firm's products or during the exchange prossess, it arises through the experience when the customer uses the provider's offers and facilities (Heinonen et al., 2013).
Organizations ought to interact with customers in the process of value creation. Service providers should assist their consumers in their daily activities and providing them with the necessary information. Service concept evolved, thus firms and customers’ role in value creation changed. The customers are value creators and the service providers as co-creators support them in the value creation (Grönroos (2008; 2011); Heinonen et al., (2010; 2013)). The customers create value into two phases: the value-generating processes or the consumption and the value-supporting interactions (Heinonen et al., 2010; Voima et al., 2011, Grönroos and Ravald 2011). The value occurs therefore during and after customers' experiences: through the service encounter and from the consumption of the service intrinsic aspects. Customers experience the value; they create it by use and interaction. The value comes from benefits and sacrifices elements and it has a multidimensional conceptualization. The value creation starts firstly in the process and outcome, then it is reinforced during the experience consumption's time and location (Heinonen, 2004; Heinonen and Strandvik, 2009). Understanding consumer experiences is therefore a core task for both researchers and practitioners. On other word, delivering unique and memorable experience is the key success for business. Experiential marketing represents new tactics and techniques that should be used especially in service industry with emphasis on high quality service standards to reach customer satisfaction (Yuan and Wu, 2008; Yeh et al., 2019; Shah et al., 2019; Batat, 2019).
The experiential marketing emphasis on customer experience and considers the consumption as holistic experience (Amoroso, 2019; Schmitt, 1999). The concept of experiential marketing has been studied in the areas of marketing such as services, retail and branding (Yuan and Wu, 2008; Skandalis, 2019;Ihtiyar et al., 2019). However, the literature review showed a lack of researches on the effectiveness of experiential marketing in the field of entertainment. The present study aims to explore the customer experience in entertainment context and to examine the relationship between customer experience and customer satisfaction trough the experiential value. The research question is subdivided into two interrogations. First, does customer experience create experiential value? Second, does experiential value enhance customer satisfaction?
2. Literature Review
2.1 Experiential Value
Experiential value represents the customer perceptions of products or services, either through direct use or indirect observation (Mathwick et al., 2001). Experiential value arises from different forms of experiences. Value is perceived subjectively and it is created based on the exchange of experiences incurred in the process of transaction or through individual perceptions (Lee and Overby, 2004). Value occurs during and after the consumption experience, it includes utilitarian aspect or functional value as well as a hedonic value (Lee and Overby, 2004; Addis and Holbrook, 2001; Berry et al., 2002).The functional value represent the basic value captured by customers, while the emotional value represents the feeling or emotional reaction that visitors gain during and after experiencing (Berry et al., 2002; Schmitt, 1999).
Experiential value happens during consumption through contact fantasies, feeling as well fun and influences the customer decision making process (Gentile et al., 2007; Holbrook, 2000). The experiential value perceived by consumers can be determined through an evaluation of a number of elements such as aesthetic, playfulness, service excellence, consumer return on investment, and service efficiency (Chou, 2009; Wu and Liang, 2009).The literature review presents experiential value as a multidimensional concept that integrates four dimensions, namely utilitarian, emotional, social, and altruistic (Wu and Liang , 2009; Holbrook, 2000; Boztepe, 2010). Additionally, researches showed that the two concepts experiential marketing and experiential value are positively related (Wang and Lin, 2010).
The current study's interest is on the entertainment experience lived on the Riyadh Winter Wonderland located in Saudi Arabia, therefore the emotional aspect of the experiential value is considered as the most adequate aspect that capture the experiential marketing effort. The emotional side of the experiential value focuses on how enthusiastic the service provider is about immersing visitors in experiencing all entertainments services offered? Does the service provider create the delightful world that submerge individual in magical experience?
2.2 Antecedents of Experiential Value
Marketing function is vital to develop competitive strategies for businesses. In implementing strategies, companies should create a unique and exceptional value for their customers to reach competitive advantages (Kalantari and Johnson, 2018).Experiential Marketing can be considered to be a new phenomenon in marketing and it can be implemented in different industries. Actually, organizations have moved from the traditional marketing, which emphasizes on features and benefits as well, to experiential marketing which focuses on creating unique and memorable customer experience (Schmitt, 1999; Batat, 2019).
Experiential marketing is defined as "the customers’ recognition of and purchasing of goods or services from a company or brand after they experience activities and perceive stimulations". It represents a "memorable memory or experience that goes deeply into the customer’s mind" (Schmitt, 1999; Lee et al., 2011). Experiences lived improve the value of a product, a brand, or a company. In practice, experiential marketing enhance customers’ feelings and sense stimulation without neglecting the offers quality (Schmitt, 1999). Experiential marketing is based on two key strategic concepts: Strategic Experiential Modules (SEMs) and Experience Providers (ExPros). ExPros play a fundamental role on experiential marketing. They incorporate “communications, visual/verbal aspects as well as signage, products presence, co-branding, the spatial and electronic environment, and people” (Schmitt, 1999). ExPros convey the SEMs combination to consumers and create the experiential consumption. As the implementation tools of experiential marketing, ExPros should be coherent, consistent over time and efficiently used to maximize experience level (Schmitt, 1999). SEMs represent the strategic experiential modules that marketers manipulate to generate varieties of customer experiences. Based on modern researches in cognitive science and the philosophy of mind, the experiential modules extracted are used in experiential marketing. According to Schmitt (1999) SEMs integrate five types of experiences named: “sensory (SENSE), affective (FEEL), creative cognitive (THINK), physical including behaviors and lifestyles (ACT), and social-identity derived from belonging to a reference group or a specific culture (RELATE)” (Schmitt, 1999).These five sensory experiences “appeal to the senses with the objective of creating sensory, experiences through sight, sound, touch, taste and smell” (Schmitt, 1999; Maghnati et al., 2012; Brakus et al., 2009). Every SEM possesses its own structure and principles through which it allows achieving specific objectives. Generally, in order to reinforce the experiential appeal brands can decide to engage in two or more SEMs. However, Schmitt (1999) recommend to marketers to use the whole five SEMs in develop customer experiences. Following, impacts of the experiential marketing dimensions on experiential value (emotional value) are discussed.
Feel reflects inner feelings and emotions of customers resulting from the consuming of products and services (Yang and He, 2011; Yuan and Wu, 2008). The positive feel generated during the consumption process creates a positive emotion (Schmitt, 1999).Feel experiences focus on stimulate emotionally customers to engage them on an empathic perspective (Schmitt,1999; Yang and He, 2011; Yuan and Wu, 2008).The emersion in an experience permits that the consumers feel the brand (Williams, 2006). The positive and strong emotions, emerged from that experience, enhance the overall customer and seller relationship management (Maghnati, et al., 2012; Mattila, 2001).
H1: Feel experience has a positive impact on experiential emotional value.
The simulation of the five human senses (sight, taste, scent, touch and hearing) creates an experiential response called sense experience. Sensory experiences add value to products and services as well as seduce customers by a sensory excitement (Schmitt, 1999; McCole, 2004; Yuan and Wu, 2008). Through sensory experience, a form of experience logic or cognitive consistency is developed and consumers use it to constitute subjective value judgments that add value and differentiate the products and services being experienced by them (Vargo and Lusch, 2004; Shmitt, 1999).
H2: Sense experience has a positive impact on experiential emotional value.
Think experience is related to amazement, conspiracy, exhortation and excitement; it lies on the consumer’s intelligence to generate cognitive experience (Lee et al., 2008). Think experience goal is to induce customers on a creative thinking by a simulation of new idea or thinking about a company or its products. For instance, think appeals stimulate and engage customers cognitively through surprise, intrigue and provocation (Schmitt, 1999).
H3: Think experience has a positive impact on experiential value.
Act experience "focuses on the physical experience of consumers and aims to provide enriched alternative lifestyles, role models or emotional, inspirational and motivational experiences to customers" (Soares and Elmashhara, 2020). Consumers live experiences related to their physical body, behavior and lifestyle through social interactions. Action experiences propose alternate ways of doing things, alternate lifestyles as well as connections with others. These experiences stimulate sensations, emotions and reinforce motivations that shape customer’s relationships with products or services offered (Schmitt, 1999).
H4: Act experience has a positive impact on experiential emotional value.
Relate or Social-identity experience incorporates elements of sense, feel, think and act marketing. Relate marketing goes beyond the individual's personal private feelings, it relates to something outside of the individuals private situation (e.g. family members or friends) thus creating a sense of self-improvement (Schmitt, 1999). Relate marketing orients the consumers’ mind and feelings far from the relate experience and linked them to the products or services social context. It creates a powerful and contextual contacts and experience of customer’s individual action, thought and feelings (Yu and Ko, 2012). Relate experience permits to consumers to construct bonds with the social communities and social entities through purchasing and consuming (Chang et al., 2011). Marketers can create positive relate experience using relate marketing campaign that enhance self-improvement by a social community’s integration (Schmitt, 1999).
H5: Relate experience has a positive impact on experiential emotional value.
2.3 Impact of experiential value on Customer satisfaction
Satisfaction is an important variable in experiences (Oliver, 1980; Westbrook and Oliver, 1991).
A customer satisfaction occurred after a transaction results from an immediate positive assessment after the purchase or a positive feeling towards the transaction experience (Oliver, 1993). There are two type of evaluation. The first one relies on transaction-specific aspect which is defined on the basis of the customers' evaluation of the value they obtain after completing one specific transaction (Engel et al., 1995; Oliver, 1993). The second one relies on customer evaluation of purchasing and consumption experiences with regard to companies ’performance, whether in the past, present or future (Patterson and Spreng, 1997).Customer satisfaction level is expressed also by feeling emerged during transaction experiences. Satisfaction represents the outcome of product’s expectation and function; it reflects the amount of happiness or disappointment (Li and Lee,2016;Warde, 2017).It is known that customers have expectations regarding their future purchase and experience, so the level of customer satisfaction will be affected by the level of performance during and after the experience process (Yuan and Wu, 2008,Warde, 2017). Moreover, it is found that physical environment with its elements affects the response of customers and their experience; these elements consist of music, color, smell, and crowding level (Areni and Kim, 1993; Bellizzi, et al., 1983; Spangenberg et al., 1996; Hui and Bateson, 1991; Cuong, 2020).
Satisfaction in this study reflects the overall consumer’s assessment of the service provided during and after the period of its consumption. According to Schmitt (1999), emotional and functional value delivered through experiential marketing can lead to customer satisfaction. Customers compare their experiences with their prior expectations, which cause positive or negative disconfirmation (Kao et al., 2008). The emotional responses resulting from positive or negative disconfirmation form the basis for customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Bigne et al., 2005). Previous studies confirmed the positive relationship between experiential values and customer satisfaction (e.g., Cronin et al., 2000; Ennew and Binks, 1999; Fornell et al., 1996; Kristensen et al., 2000; Patterson and Spreng, 1997). Customers are satisfied when the perceived service value is beyond their expectations, while they are not satisfied when the perceived value is less than expected (Yuan and Wu, 2008; Prakash, 2019; Wu et al., 2018).
H6: Experiential emotional value has a positive impact on customer satisfaction
Given the afore mentioned hypotheses, a conceptual framework was developed (Fig.1).
3. Methodology
3.1. Sampling and Data Collection
To examine the relationships among customer experience, experiential value, and customer satisfaction, an online survey through Google Forms was conducted to collect data. The questionnaire included a filter question to select only respondents visited Riyadh Winter Wonderland, four demographic questions, and three seven-point Likert scales to measure the research concepts. A convenience sampling was conducted in this study. The size of the survey sample included 154 respondents. Most respondents (66.9%) were between 18 and 25 years old and more than half of the sample's members were women (72.6%). 45.5% of research participants declared visit the entertainment place 1 time, 24.7 % two times and 29.9 % three times. Furthermore, 78.6 % of the sample has university level and 50 % gain less than 5000 Saudi Riyals per month.
Figure1. Conceptual Framework
3.2. Measures
Scae academic studies is conducted in Arabic. Therefore, the scales were translated from English to Arabic using the back-translation technique. The experiential marketing scale was adapted from Schmitt’s (1999) study and those measuring the experiential value and customer satisfaction from Wu and Li (2018).

3.3. Data Analysis
The reliability and the validity of the measures were verified in two steps: A descriptive analysis with SPSS and a first order confirmatory analysis using Amos (Roussel et al., 2002). The evaluation of the relationships and the parameters within the theoretical framework, as well as the model fit with the numerical data, were performed by the use of Amos.
4. Result Analysis
4.1. Scales' dimensionality and reliability
The Principal component analysis (PCA) showed the existence of seven factors conserved by the confirmatory factor analysis (Table2). The reliability was measured using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient which indicates the level of internal items consistency. Results showed that Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was ranged from 0,706 to 0,849 (Table2); thus, the scales used for this study were considered to be reliable (Hair, et al., 2006; DeVellis, 2012).The extraction of each kept item is higher than 0.5 (Evrard et al., 2003).
4.2. Confirmatory factor analysis
Reliability was verified by Jöreskog'sRhô, its accepted value is 0.7 or above for a construct (FornellandLarcker 1981; Didellon and Valette-Florence, 1996). All of the rho values range from 0.708 to 0.867 (Table2). The weights of all the items are higher than 0.5 and the Critical Ratio (CR), associated to each factorial contribution, is above 1.96 as recommended by (Lavoisier, 2000). Convergent validity was assessed by calculating the Rhô of convergent validity (ρvc) which accepted value is 0.50 or above for a construct (Fornell and Larcker, 1981). All of ρvc values range from 0.548 to 0.689 (Table 2).

4.3. Global significance and model fit
Analysis confirmed that there were no negative variance values and that all the standardized coefficients were above 1. The fit indices showed that the model fits the empirical data. As shown in Table3, the overall fit of the measurement models was adequate: X2/df = 1.325< 2 (Pedhazurand Pedhazur-Schmelkin, in Roussel et al., 2002). The RMSEA = 0.046was less than 0.08, indicating adequate fit (Browne and Cudeck, 1993). The GFI = 0.90 is above 0.8, it represents an acceptable fit (Baumgartner and Homburg, 1995; Doll et al., 1994). Furthermore, the CFI = 0.980 is above the threshold of 0.9 (Bentler, 1990) and the NFI= 0.924 is above 0.8 (James et al., 1982). The standardized root mean residual (SRMR) value (0.039) was equivalent to or less than the recommended threshold of .08 (Hu and Bentler, 1999; MacCallum et al., 1996).However, the model showed the existence of a set of not significant effects as the value of Critical Ratio was lower than 1.96.
4.4. Hypothesis Testing
To test the research model hypotheses, a structural equations modeling technique was used . Results are summarized in Table3. Result demonstrated that only the relations between sense experience, experiential value and customer satisfaction are significant. Thus, all the hypotheses H1, H3, H4, and H5 are unconfirmed. Sense experiences had a positive impact on experiential value (β = 0.964; t = 3.695> 1.96), accordingly H2 is supported. Experiential value had a positive effect on customer satisfaction (β = 0.979; t = 10.438> 1.96), consequently H6 is supported.

5. Discussion and Implications
This research contributes to a better understanding of ‘feel’, ‘sense’, ‘think’, ‘act’ and ‘think’ experiences effects on experiential value and customer satisfaction. Similarity and differences with previous researches as well suggestions on the use of experiential marketing are discussed below.
As previous studies, findings supported that experiential marketing contributes to customer satisfaction through the creation of a positive experiential value (Yuan and Wu, 2008; Schmitt, 1999). However, the positive impact between experiential marketing and experiential value is maintained only via the sense experience. These findings converge with those of Kanopaite (2015), this author found that in restaurant experience only sense and feel experiences from experiential marketing were proved to have a statistically significant impact on the emotion value.
Similar to previous studies (e.g. Nadiri and Gunay, 2013; Kanopaite, 2015; Ihtiyar and Aras, 2020), the relationship between sense and emotional value is supported, although this finding is in contradiction with Yuan and Wu (2008).This result demonstrates that Saudis consider senses, which refers to aesthetics and sensory qualities, as more important in term of value creation than fell, act, think and relate aspects. Considering that 45.5% of study participants declared visiting Riyadh Winter Wonderland once, it is possible that they enjoy their initial experience perceptually through senses, however more familiarity with the entertainment place will push consumers to pay attention to other features influencing ‘feel’, ‘act’, ‘think’, and ‘relate’ experiences (Nadiri and Gunay, 2013).
Experiential value is not influenced by feel experience. The result a priori can be perceived as astounding regarding the previous researches (e.g. Yang and He, 2011; Mattila 2001; Kanopaite, 2015). The entertainment place, Riyadh Winter Wonderland itself as a brand or place to entertain not stimulates strong emotions among Saudi customers. Research participants associate the emotion experienced to the sense experience. Saudis may be excited to visit place entertainment, but in consumption they link feelings to senses. The nature of shows, games, food and drink areas offered are emotional sources, because they appeal senses.
Research outcomes demonstrated that both think as well as act experiences not generate emotional value. Theme park visit seems not enough simulating visitors’ cognitive thinking and the physical experience appears not altering their behaviors during the service consumption; they are cognitively passive and indifferent toward tangible aspect of the entertainment proposed. 66.9% of the current experiment respondents were between 18 and 25 years old. For this younger generation that has grown up with sophisticated technologies (e.g. internet, cell phones, video game, iPodos), animatronics (e.g. 3D, animated figures) employed by theme parks are perceived as old fashionedand outdated (Stein and Georges, 2009). Therefore, youth people are cognitively passive in theme parks and physical interaction with the tangible aspect of services not modify their impression, so the experiential value from consumption is weak or does not exist. According findings, the relate experience did not produce emotional value. Respondents not consider their visits to Winter Wonderland reinforcing relations with other or strengthen thinking about social activities, especially inside the theme park. Nowadays, for many people, it is more important to share virtually experiences through social networking than to live them in the entertainment place.
By examining antecedents of experiential emotional value in the entertainment industry, the current study offers insights for a successful implementation of experiential marketing. The recommendation is that professionals should focus on the sense experience to create memorable experience and enhance customers’ satisfaction. Contrary to the four experiences feel, act, think and relate, only sense experience has a significant impact the on emotional value and contributes satisfaction improvement. Therefore, a sensory strategy is essential Riyadh Winter Wonderland's visitors. Practitioners should appeal clients’ sense of sight by an attractive visual environment. First, virtual reality shows with a creative lighting are creative way to engage clients' visually. Second, to simulate hearing it is important to select a bundle of suitable soundtrack to immerse customers in a magic atmosphere. Understanding attendees’ preferences in term of music style is a key, culture and ethnicity should be considered. Third, selecting partners responsible for presenting food and beverage services is a critical part of a memorable taste experience. An escape from habitual food consumption can be an important element for outstanding experiences especially in the Saudi context. Moreover, managers can appeal to the smell sense by incorporating aromatherapy for improving psychological or physical well-being and push clients to spend more time in consuming. Similarly, materials used in installations or spaces can enhance the sense of touch that represents an effective way to lengthen time spent by visitors.
Finally, the study demonstrated that emotional value emerged from the sense experience improve significantly the satisfaction of the amusement park visitors. This finding is consistent with literature (Cronin et al., 2000; Ennew and Binks, 1999; Fornell et al., 1996; Kristensen et al., 2000; Patterson and Spreng, 1997; Yuan and Wu, 2008; Prakash, 2019; Prakash, 2019; Wu et al., 2018; Ihtiyar and Aras, 2020) and confirmed that experiential marketing and experiential value are the bases to construct customer satisfaction.
5.1. Limitations and Future Research
The paper findings should be viewed in light of some limitations that restrict this study and could be considered in future research. For instance, utilitarian, social, and altruistic dimensions of the experiential value are not considered. By the same token, this research does not take into account the impact of service quality on satisfaction. Thus, it could be useful to pay attention to such variables in future studies. Further, due to convenience sampling method used, findings cannot be generalized to Saudi population. It would be worthwhile to replicate the experimentation using a large sample. Finally, since it is the first experience of Saudis with a gigantic amusement park, it will be interesting to undertake qualitative research to gain a deep understanding of experiential marketing implementation and suggest clear managerial suggestions.

No. The right of the eldest son to inherit the whole of his father’s land where there was no will – known as primogeniture – was finally abolished to the youngest son! These days, if neither parent leaves a will the survivor’s estate will be divided equally among the children. If your elder brother has started helping himself see a solicitor.

UPSC Result 2021: iLearn IAS Academy bags Kerala topper along with other 17 ranks
It is also noticeable that, among the rank holders from Kerala, a majority have taken coaching from iLearn IAS Academy in Trivandrum including State’s topper Dilip P Kainikkara. This year, 17 students that iLearn trained made it up to the rank list and iLearn has produced the highest number of rank holders in Kerala.
Alfred OV with rank 57, who is also one among the 10 Malayalis who made it to the first hundred, is also a proud iLearn student. Other students on the rank list from iLearn are Afnan Absu Samed(AIR 274), John George Dcoutho (AIR 428), Athira S Kumar(477), Sourav Rames (535), Jithin Krishnan B (AIR 278), Alfred OV(AIR 57), Aparna O(AIR 475), Roja Rajan (AIR 108), C B Rex (AIR 111), Arjun Unnikrishnan (AIR 145), S Gautham Raj (AIR 210), Arshad Muhammed (AIR 276), A Ashif (464), Utsav Pandey (AIR 240), Deepu Sudheer (AIR 495) and Avdhesh (AIR 663).
All these students have taken coaching for both mains and prelims examinations in iLearn and unlike many other institutes, iLearn focuses on genuine results instead of just promotion and publicity. That is one of the reasons why it has become the most trusted and promising civil service institute in Kerala. “Many institutes take full credit for a rank even if the student has only attended a mock interview. But when iLearn says a rank is from our academy, it is sure that the aspirant has taken coaching for both the written examinations and interview as well. Behind every admission in iLearn, there is only mouth publicity, and it’s achieved through hard work, loyalty and perseverance.”, said the director of iLearn to Big news.
Within a short period since its foundation, iLearn changed the stereotype thinking among Keralites, about heading to Delhi for Civil Service. The academy has put an end to the ‘Delhi trips’ civil service aspirants had to take for coaching, by coining everything in Trivandrum and having the best facilities one could ever as for UPSC preparations with a well-furnished study room.
iLearn offers free crash courses and scholarships for underprivileged students which makes it better and different from the other institutes. Last year also iLearn created history by securing 34 ranks in the civil services examination including the 12th one which made it the only coaching institute in Kerala to achieve such an honor within a short time since its foundation.

Gibbons Law Alert
by Kelly Ann Bird · July 20, 2016
After much anticipation (and confusion) regarding legally permissible parameters C”) issued two final rules concerning wellness programs that offer incentives in exchange for health information from employees and their spouses. Specifically, the rules describe how wellness programs can comply with Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Title II of the Genetic Information Nondisclosure Act (“GINA”). According to the EEOC’s press release, the rules provide guidance under the ADA and GINA consistent with the relevant provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The EEOC’s proposed regulations were discussed in a previous post following our presentation entitled “Wellness Programs for a Healthy Workplace” at the Fifth Annual Gibbons Employment & Labor Law Conference. Then, in June, the EEOC issued a sample notice for employer-sponsored wellness programs. Here, we parse the rules into bright-line takeaways for employers.
The ADA Final Rule
The ADA final rule provides guidance to employers who wish to use incentives to encourage employee participation in wellness programs that involve disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations. Thus, employers whose wellness programs screen for health-related factors such as high blood pressure or cholesterol and who use incentives to encourage employees to participate in these screenings must be aware of the final rule. The final rule applies to all wellness programs that include disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations (not just those wellness programs that are part of a group health plan). What should employers know to comply?
A. Wellness programs that include disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations (including the disability related inquiries or medical examinations themselves) must be “reasonably designed to promote health or prevent disease.”
B. Employee participation in a wellness program that includes disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations must be voluntary. To be clear, in order for a wellness program to be “voluntary,” employers:
Cannot require employee participation;
Cannot deny benefits or access to coverage to employees for non-participation;
Cannot take adverse action, retaliate against or coerce emploinformation will be obtained, how it will be used, who will receive it, the restrictions on its disclosure, and the methods the covered entity uses to prevent improper disclosure.
C. Employers may offer incentives (rewards or penalties) for participation in a wellness program that includes disability-related inquiries and/or medical examinations up to a maximum of 30% of the total cost of self-only coverage. The incentives may be financial or in-kind (i.e., use of a prime parking spot or a relaxed dress code) as long as the total value of the incentive does not exceed 30% of the total cost of self-only coverage (including both employee and employer contributions).
D. Except as necessary to administer a health plan, medical so that the specific identities of employees are protected from disclosure. Additionally, employers cannot condition participation in the health plan on a requirement that employees disclose medical information or waive confidentiality protections under the ADA.
E. The ADA’s safe harbor provision does not apply to wellness programs, including wellness programs that are part of an employer’s health plan. In fact, in its commentary to the final rule, the EEOC explicitly noted its disagreement with the district court decisions in Seff v. Broward County and EEOC v. Flambeau, Inc., and remarked that the courts applied the safe harbor provision too expansively “to support employers’ imposition of penalties on employees who do not answer disability-related questions or undergo medical examinations in connection with wellness programs.”
F. Employers must continue to comply with other employment discrimination laws. Further, compliance with the ADA does not equal compliance with HIPAA’s non-discrimination provisions.
The GINA Final Rule
Similarly, the final GINA rule addresses the extent to which an employer can offer incentives to an employee for the employee’s spouse to provide genetic information as part of a health risk assessment in connection with a wellness program. Title II of GINA prohibits employers from using genetic information to make employment decisions and restricts employers from obtaining employees’ genetic information, with limited exceptions. One such exception permits employers offering health or genetic services to request genetic information as part of a wellness program provided certain requirements are met. Since, as a practical matter, many employees include their spouses in their employer-provided insurance coverage, offering wellness programs and incentives to those spouses is a logical extension of programs offered to employees. But until the final GINA rule, the question of what information could be gleaned from the employees’ spouses was unresolved. The final GINA rule, which applies to all wellness programs and is closely aligned with the ADA final rule with respect to confidentiality requirements and restrictions on incentives, provides some clarity:
A. Employers may offer an employee limited incentives in exchange for the employee’s spouse’s genetic information provided as part of a health risk assessment administered through a wellness program if GINA’s confidentiality requirements are upheld and the information is not used to discriminate against the employee.
B. The incentive amount for an employee’s spouse under GINA cannot be more than the amount offered to an employee under the ADA for participation in a wellness program that includes disability-related questions or a medical examination. Under the GINA final rule, the incentive to each employee and to the employee’s spouse may not be more than 30% of the total cost of self-only coverage under the employee’s group plan.
C. No inducements are permitted for genetic information of the employee’s children (whether adopted or biological, adult or minor).
D. Employers are prohibited from denying benefits or access to health insurance, or otherwise retaliating, against any employee based on a spouse’s refusal to provide information about his or her manifestation of disease or disorder to an employer-sponsored wellness program.
The Sample Notice
Within weeks of issuing the final rules, the EEOC also issued a sample notice for employers to use in advising employees as required by the ADA final rule. The EEOC also published a question-and-answer document discussing the notice requirement and the sample notice.
Next Steps for Employers
The provisions under the ADA final rule regarding notice and incentives and the provisions under the GINA final rule regarding incentives apply prospectively to employer wellness programs as of the first day of the first plan year that begin on or after January 1, 2017, for the health plan used to determine the level of incentive permitted under this regulation. In the meantime, employers should consider the following:
For employers with a comprehensive and well-designed program that is evidence-based, respects privacy, and is construed as voluntary by employees and regulators alike, the regulatory framework set forth in the EEOC’s final rules should provide reassurance and in all likelihood confirmation that the program is compliant with the rules.
For employers with a program, but uncertain that it matches up with the guidelines, now is the time to get a fresh perspective. A wellness program is a strategic and important undertaking and should not be implemented without giving serious consideration to the issues addressed in these regulations. Review your program (including your notices), seek advice, and revamp as needed to assure compliance with the final rules.
For employers that don’t have a program, or at least not a comprehensive program, now is an opportunity to get started the right way.
Ensure your company has adequate policies and practices concerning confidential employee information, including that derived from wellness programs.
In reviewing or designing any program, the substantive and important goal is to have a credible line of sight to improving health and preventing disease. A healthy workforce is smart business for employers, and now an even more achievable goal.
For answers to any questions regarding this blog or with regard to wellness programs generally, please feel free to contact an attorney in the Gibbons Employment & Labor Law Department.

슈어맨 to a long list of abnormal eBay entries, actor William Shatner (best known while Captain James Bi the web Gambling establishment. Golden Palace Internet casino compensated $25, 000 for the iconic former Captain of this Starship Enterprise’s organ, typically the resources promptly rerouted to be able to the charitable Habitat Intended for Humanity, which helps build houses for low cash flow families.
Glowing Palace Gambling establishment has, online gambling earth at least, turn into synonymous with the publicity stunt. This is the very same online casino that, within August 2005, paid $1, 775 for a pierogi (a polish dumpling) having the of Christ Christ. After winning the object, they proudly included the idea to their developing (and increasingly notorious) assortment associated with modern oddities.
Some other beloved artifacts include:
— A good Grilled Cheese Sandwich keeping the image of this Virgin Margaret ($28, 000)
— A new 1999 Uno Golf of which recently belonged to Pope Benedict XVI
— Britney Spears’ pregnant state test (yes, used — yuck)
— Some sort of sheet metal walking cane that the older woman sold through the desires of effective her younger grandson that will his grandfather’s ghost would likely once and for just about all abandon their house along with it ($65, 000).
In early December 2006, the online casino bought Girl Ruth’s presumably corked hockey bat from Lelands. contendo for $103, 631. At this point, according to Glowing Palace Online casino BOSS Rich Rowe, many people want for you to saw the particular bat inside of half and handle the long batted-around conflict as soon as and for all.
Great Palace Internet casino is sometimes proud owner of often the only known house action to the White Household — yes, the actual property of the Us president of the United Claims. Won at a great market on eBid. television set inside September 2004, this Dump deed to 1600 Philadelphia Avenue within Washington, M. C was initially furthermore one of the least pricey objects the Glowing Structure Casino “museum” been able to help get its hands with, costing only $43. 1 out of 3.
Golden Palace Casino comes with even paid to possess their name turn up in approaching releases by way of famous writers such as Hugo together with Nebula award-winning science hype author John Brin (The Postman, the River regarding Time Anthology) to which they paid $2, 300 for the honor. Dave Eggers, bestselling author of the Tragic Work of Unbelievable Master, got $5, 471. 78 from them for the cameo appearance inside of his forthcoming novel, This Journey from the Fishes Overland. As with most all of Golden Palace Gambling establishment On-line Casino’s unique advertising expenses, all proceeds from this specific alternate will be donated to charity; in these 2 cases, it’s the First and foremost Amendment Project, a 100 % free presentation charitable organisation.
Amassing an increasingly outrageous collection regarding modern oddities isn’t very the only advertising stunt this particular online on line casino is engaged in. Fantastic Palace Casino:
— Proceeds to pay out thousands of dollars to people to tattoo the Great Palace Casino logo with various parts of his or her subjects’ body shapes.
— Uses a growing pool associated with brave and shameless souls to interrupt community sports events by running nude through the arena with often the online casino’s company logo and even URL imprinted on their very own flesh. Folks love Draw Roberts (whose bottom is now more famous as compared to his face could at any time own been) have streaked the French and British and even US Opens, the Earth Swimming Championships, the EUROP�ISCHER FU�BALLVERBAND Cup finals, Ladies’ Day time in the Royal Ascot, the World Figure Skating Tournament, the 2004 Summer time Olympics in Greece, Extra Bowl XXXVIII, and manage with the Bulls inside The country — all inside the name of good, healthful, online casino casino.
— Sponsored Dennis Rodman’s motor vehicle in the Bullrun US 2005, a ethnic background that matches the exact path of the Cannonball Manage in the 1981 Burt Reynolds movie of typically the same name.
— Paid a rowboat team that will attempted a 3, 000-mile crossing of the Ocean.
The crew at Great Palace Casino certainly knows how to draw interest to by themselves. And there’s no point, they know how to raise income for charitable trust!

Fully autonomous vehicle developer Optimus Ride raises $18M in Series A
02 November 2017
Enevate Corporation, developer of a silicon-dominant composite anode material and high ene high energy-density cells support extreme fast-charging. Enevate’s silicon Li-ion battery technology in EV cells (NCM-based) can be charged in 5 minutes at up to a tested 10C charging rate to 75% capacity with energy densities of more than 750 Wh/L. Conventional graphite cells with lower capacities suffer significant degradation with extreme fast charging.
Enevate first introduced its HD-Energy Technology—a self-standing, silicon-dominant composite film anode with more than 70% silicon—in 2014, with an initial focus on smartphones, tablets, ultra-thin/hybrid notebook PCs, and wearable devices. (Earlier post.) Enevate licenses its silicon-dominant HD-Energy Technology to battery and EV automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide.
The silicon-dominant monolithic composite anode combined with the overall battery cell architecture enables ultrafast charging, high volumetric and gravimetric energy density, structural integrity, and electrical conductivity. Source: Enevate. Click to enlarge.
The anode material film features a gravimetric energy density of 1500 mAh g-1 in cell design, with volumetric and energy densities of ~750 Wh/L and ~300 Wh/kg, respectively. The anode is high-density (1-15 g/cc) with a silicon surface area of <10 m2/g. The film is compatible with existing high volume manufacturing processes—unlike nanowire or silicon wafer approaches.
Five-minute charging would allow flow-through charging stations where EV drivers wait just a few minutes to “fill up” just as they would with regular gas stations. In addition, with such short charging times, smaller batteries can be used in some EVs making them much more affordable.
Enevate says that its HD-Energy battery technology can safely charge and discharge down to -40°C and capture more energy during regenerative braking, extending range in cold climates. A key safety benefit is that Enevate’s HD-Energy Technology is inherently resistant to lithium-plating during fast charge and also during charging in low temperatures, which is a major challenge for conventional graphite Li-ion cells.
Enevate says that its silicon-dominant EV battery technology features up to 10C charging rates with more than 750 Wh/L energy density. Click to enlarge.
Enevate’s film-based silicon-dominant anode and cell is a truly novel approach and great practical fit for use in EVs addressing the major barriers to EV adoption.
—Dr. John Goodenough, University of Texas at Austin
Investors in Enevate include Mission Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Tsing Capital, Infinite Potential Technologies, Presidio Ventures – a Sumitomo Corporation company, and CEC Capital.

Me alegra de sobremanera la noticia pero tengo serias dudas ¿Son las mismas celdas que se presentaron en 2016 donde en un grafico a 4C de carga y 0,5C de descarga estas se quedaban al 65% de la capacidad inicial?. He visitado la pagina de Enevate nada mas leer este post y los graficos del 2016 siguen en el mismo lugar sin cambio alguno......Se me hace dificil tomar como aceptables estas cifras para ser comercializado a nivel masivo, no lo veo sinceramente.
Posted by: Centurion | 02 November 2017 at 08:11 AM
That looks like the perfect battery for the EV of tomorrow with >350KW Ultra-Chargers, allowing 200KWH packs in less space than 100KWH today and almost the same weight...where is the trick ? Is the price prohibitive ? Why Tesla did not pick them if that perfect for EVs ?
Posted by: Patrick Free | 02 November 2017 at 08:41 AM
This may be the improved battery that Toyota has been waiting for mass production of extended range quick charge BEVs?
Yes, 200 kWh packs would be enough for cold (all) weather extended range light vehicles. Buses and heavy trucks will need 3 or 4 packs.
Ultra quick charge 800+ Volts, 450+ KW charging facilities may become the norm?
Posted by: HarveyD | 02 November 2017 at 09:10 AM
Sounds promising...maybe....I think. LOL If it can routinely handle 10C charging with that kind of energy density, that's good. But is that really new/different from what they've had for a couple of years?
I'm wondering if Centurion is right and this is really just marketing spin on the same battery they've had for a couple of years....much like the Toshiba SCIB announcements last week. I think everyone is just realizing that fast charging batteries with a good super charger network opens up new possibilities.
These specs seem slightly different from what's on their website. For Example "down to -40 degrees" here compared to "even below -20 degrees" on their old specs.
Did they just decide to make a stronger marketing statement or is it really closer to 20 degrees better in the operating range?
I'll wait for full specs including $/kWh and life cycles, etc. before I get too excited.
Posted by: DaveD | 02 November 2017 at 10:09 AM
HarveyD, I do not have to contend with the cold weather you do. 30KwH in a Leaf with this type of charge would overcome any range anxiety I have for my driving.
Posted by: JMartin | 02 November 2017 at 01:35 PM
300 Wh/kg and 10C charging is an exciting breakthrough. Bravo, Enevate!
Posted by: | 02 November 2017 at 02:12 PM
300Wh/Kg is double the density of my 2011 Leaf battery and if true is a great promise for the future, especially since it has been endorsed by Prof. Goodenough. But, I always wonder what are the down sides and why Tesla, the battery giant, doesn't have it?
Posted by: Lad | 02 November 2017 at 02:23 PM
300 Wh/Kg and 5 minutes ultra quick recharges are minimum performances for all weather extended range BEVs together with 150 to 200 kWh packs.
Many near future batteries will offer more than 300 Wh/Kg with similar and/or with very different technologies.
Alternative technologies like FCEVs will have difficulties to compete with ultra quick charge 400+ Wh/Kg batteries.
Posted by: HarveyD | 02 November 2017 at 03:42 PM
300 Wh/Kg at the cell level would not quite be double the gravimetric energy density of the Tesla battery, but in round numbers, not too far off. A 1,300 lb Tesla battery (current spec) could be nearly 180kW, which would yield a range of 588 EPA miles.
I'm pretty sure we don't have to wait for 400+ Wh/Kg batteries for BEVs to compete effects you stop worrying about range entirely, in my experience.
Even in cold weather, batteries and cabins can be pre-heated and range loss kept to less than 20%
Posted by: | 02 November 2017 at 04:33 PM
Let's wait and see what fine tuning can do with this technology in the next 3+ years.
Sometime in the 2020s, 4X (400+ Wh/Kg) batteries will probably hit the market place. If so, that could be the begining of the end for ICEVs and FCEVs.
Posted by: HarveyD | 02 November 2017 at 06:05 PM
Tesla built their original roadsters using 18650 (18 mm x 65 mm long) lithium-ion cells. I believe that these cells were used as they were available from the portable tool market. Anyway, they have continued to used cylindrical cells but the Tesla 3 will use larger 21700 (21 mm OD x 70 mm long) cells. Almost everyone else in the EV market uses larger prismatic cells which have a better form factor for packaging and require fewer cells.
Posted by: sd | 02 November 2017 at 07:51 PM
Cylindrical cells have thermal management advantages. Larger prismatic cells develop hot spots.
No doubt we will see a trend toward optimal form factor. Too many smart people and massive computing being applied for this problem to stand.
400Wh/kg does seem within reach. When it does, cars may be the least interesting transportation technology enabled by the breakthrough.

eci said:
'300 Wh/Kg at the cell level would not quite be double the gravimetric energy density of the Tesla battery, but in round numbers, not too far off.'
It really helps to properly source figures, as I have no idea where you get your claim from, which AFAIK is more appropriate to the pack level of the present Tesla batteries than the cell level.
'In comparison, the Panasonic 18650 cells that Tesla uses have an energy density of just 254 Wh/kg.'
And:
What are you talking about?
Posted nergy density to the 18650's, and fans of Tesla have consistently been trying to claim that their energy density is higher, which would make the discrepancy with eci's claims worse, not better.
Posted by: Davemart | 03 November 2017 at 02:13 AM
Call me skeptical but where is the catch?
Cost?
Production?
Availability?
If this is true it just jumped over a HUGE hurdle for electric long distance driving. It also reduces weight substantially for daily commuter vehicles.
WHEN?
Posted by: D | 03 November 2017 at 08:10 AM
Tesla batteries have increased in energy density over the course of the product life cycle. Other improvements have also increased range. The Model S 85 had an EPA rated range of 265 miles, and the current Model S 100 has a range of 335 miles.
Whichever of these batteries you choose to compare, 300Wh/kg is an impressive increase and probably puts the same vehicle at or above 400 miles of range.
Whether it’s 400, 500 or close to 600 is less relevant than the fact that over a given threshold, you simply stop worrying about range. Driving in town, you’ll never exceed 300 miles before you have to sleep again. For most people, the number of times that they take a trip out of town exceeding double that number (requiring a full charge) is so seldom that is not a great concern.
Which is why Elon Musk is on record as saying you probably won’t see a Tesla with a battery bigger than 100kWh.
He may be wrong, and he may not have been thinking about light duty trucks with tow bar when he made that statement, but in my experience over the course of 70,000 all-electric miles, over 300 miles capacity you just stop worrying about range. That includes dozens of trips over 1,000 miles and several over 2,000 miles round-trip.
Posted by: | 03 November 2017 at 08:35 AM
The rate of charging is key here. It alleviates the dependency on a large capacity battery. Like a 10 gallon tank vs 15, You just have to fill up more frequently (assuming there are charging stations at that point). Definitely echo the concerns on cost and cycle frequency though.
Posted by: DavidD | 03 November 2017 at 10:23 AM
According to this, a virtual train in China can recharge fully in 10 minutes for. While it has only 15 kilometer range, it carries 300 passengers. So how does that translate to distance for a car? And more to the point, what kind of batteries are they using?
Posted by: JMartin | 03 November 2017 at 11:58 AM
eci:
Nowhere in that verbiage is their any substantiation for your claim that:
'300 Wh/Kg at the cell level would not quite be double the gravimetric energy density of the Tesla battery, but in round numbers, not too far off.'
I repeat, what is your source and what are the figures you are using for the specific energy of the present Tesla packs at the cell level?
I have provided sourced figures showing that 300Wh/Kg is nothing remotely like double the energy density.
And if that information is old, and as you claim the energy density of the current Tesla cells has improved, that makes your claim worse, not better.
Have you simply invented your figures?
Please either substantiate them or withdraw them,
Posted by: d the larger point. We’re entering an era where 200-300 mile all electric range will be routine. With continued innovation as Enevate presents here, longer distances reaching past 400 miles will be possible, but generally not very useful. Smaller and cheaper packs will be the goal.
Posted by: | 04 November 2017 at 11:32 AM
eci:
You claimed:
'300 Wh/Kg at the cell level would not quite be double the gravimetric energy density of the Tesla battery, but in round numbers, not too far off.'
Without the courtesy of quoting your sources, and when corrected of the region of an upping from 254 Wh ie an increase of only perhaps 18% you not only waffled on interminably to evade the point but now have the brass neck to whine that you were 'approximately right'
You were not approximately right, you were grossly in error, and making grossly misleading claims.
Those who do not know you may falsely assume since you have not got the guts to post under your own name here but pass yourself off as the site name that you know something about battery electric cars or are speaking from some position of knowledge.
In fact you are trading on the undrself.
I was just dealing with your post on its own merits, as you continually complain I do not do when you are simply trolling hydrogen threads.
But you are as ill informed in those things you support as those you oppose, and content to drastically mislead, as well as basking in the reflected and quite unearnt reputation of those on Inside EVs who know what they are talking about.
You have no clue, and are posting as a fake authority.
Posted by: Davemart | 04 November 2017 at 12:49 PM
Will Davemart continue to be an ever lasting pessimist?
Other keys to improved battery capacity are the 5 minutes ultra quick charging and smaller volume.
Fine tuning could increase energy density to 400 Wh/Kg by..?
Quick charging, smaller volume and higher energy density batteries will lead to potential extended range all weather BEVs for everybody, including users without home charging facilities.
Of course, ultra quick 400+ KW (5 minutes) charging stations will have to be developed and installed. It is doable.
Posted by: HarveyD | 04 November 2017 at 04:22 PM
Davemart, it’s comical to see you repeatedly try to conflate InsideEVs and Electric Car Insider, as if the people who read your posts also cannot make the distinction because the two businesses share a six character string.
You’ve been told no less than four times here on GCC that there’s no relationship, yet you persist. Whatever you think you gain by the falsehood, carry on, it just makes you look more daft each time your repeat it.
Posted by: | 05 November 2017 at 02:39 PM
The real kicker here is the 5-minute charging time.
The thing people are missing here isn't that this makes the 500-mile EV possible or the 150-mile EV affordable, it almost makes the 50-mile EV practical. The necessary element is charging in motion; you don't stop for 5 minutes to charge, you don't stop at all. Siemens has already tested conductive power via overhead wires. If you have a 4-mile charging lane every 50 miles, your vehicle just slows down to 45 MPH and tops off the battery before going off to the next one. 100 miles of range is about the upper limit of what you'd need.
You can make 5x the number of 100-mile batteries vs. 500-mile batteries. This turns the EV into the petroleum-killer that much sooner. Cities will start banning IC engines and drivers will quickly appreciate the quiet and convenience of electric propulsion, driving a preference cascade to eliminate liquid fuels.
And you can still fill up in the time it takes you to get in and out of the C-store. So little will change.
Posted by: Engineer-Poet | 07 November 2017 at 08:02 AM
Doing the math, 750 Wh/l means my Fusion Energi's battery could be cut to half the volume while doubling the capacity to 15 kWh. This battery is a huge game-changer.

Mortgage Demands. Just like a traditional mortgage, a lender may enforce some circumstanenever therefore, how much time it lasts. Including, perhaps you are susceptible to a penalty in the event that you pay their home loan around the first 36 months after buying the property. Quicken debts ® does not recharge prepayment penalties.
Energy Of Sale Clause
A power of sale clause defines the circumstances under which a trustee can promote the house for all the beneficiary. Generally, this is needed only if y a nonjudicial property foreclosure. If the terms and conditions outlined in the deed of believe is followed with regards to electricity of deal, there’s no significance of the courts for included, which speeds situations up.
Because a judicial property foreclosure along with its safeguards is not what’s occurring as soon as you perform a deed of count on, it’s vital that you know exactly exacltly what the rights and duties include under this energy of purchase section.
Speed And Alienation Conditions
Speed and alienation conditions need comparable functional issues on financing borrowers. However, they trigger for different reasons. Let’s briefly explain to you ways these clauses work.
an acceleration clause generally speaking requires impact after a debtor is delinquent, or behind to their repayments. With regards to the regards to the condition, it could kick in whenever a borrower was behind with one payment, but a loan provider or person might not have the term take result until after a few money are missed so that you can provide the debtor time for you to try to catch-up. Despite, they might capture this task to try to shield their financial prior to going through a full foreclosure process. If the full financing is not settled within some time specified when you look at the speed find, subsequently they’ll most likely progress with foreclosure procedures.
An alienation clause is also called a due-on-sale term. These specifications tend to be inserted when the individual or loan provider you’re working with does not desire anyone who buys the house or property to be able to think the loan under the existing terms and conditions. They might circumvent this by having an alienation clause in the deed of rely on that claims the borrowed funds needs to be paid in complete in the event that you sell the house or property.
The alienation term can also be created if you do something similar to try to put the belongings in an LLC. The thinking with this is the fact that LLC restricts the person or lender’s ability to keep one to the loan terms because there’s a limitation of liability related to LLCs. The borrowed funds would need to be distributed off ahead of the transfer.
Action Of Trust Vs. Mortgage
a deed of believe will become necessary when a normal financing services (in other words., a financial) is certainly not getting used or whenever specific claims need deeds of depend on in place of mortgage loans. Whether you have got a deed of count on or a home loan, they both are designed to ensure that a loan is actually paid back, either to a lender or somebody person. A home loan merely involves two activities – the debtor and the lender. A deed of rely on includes another party, a trustee, who holds the home’s title through to the loan is paid back. In the eventuality of standard on the mortgage, the trustee is responsible for starting the foreclosure techniques. In a normal home loan, a lender is responsible for starting foreclosures, either with or without official endorsement as influenced by condition legislation.
Because there are specific differences between deeds of depend on and mortgages with regards to property foreclosure, it is crucial to simply take careful note regarding the conditions outlined inside Closing Disclosure. In the event that you’ve currently sealed in your financing, you can get hold of your lender or home loan servicer or check your documents. At long last, not all condition have both deeds of rely on and mortgage loans. They often times have one and/or other, so you might manage to find it by viewing state homes statutes.
Although we’ve highlighted the distinctions in this specific article, there’s a lot of parallels between mortgage loans and deeds of depend on. As well as serving the exact same factor, exactly the same guidelines implement should the debtor perish prior to the mortgage try paid back. In the case of the loss of the mortgage borrower, a surviving spouse or any other heir is allowed to hold deciding to make the money as well as assume the borrowed funds when they qualify.
Whether an action of confidence or a home loan pertains within circumstances, we can assist you with all your residence funding specifications. You can incorporate on the internet through skyrocket Mortgage ® by Quicken financial loans or render one of our Home Loan specialist a phone call at (800) 785-4788.

Research and thoroughly explain at least TWO major threats to the organization, discuss why these threats are present, and what can be done to either remove or reduce them.
Think about some of the examples you see every day as you drive around. For example, how many times do you see one gas station on the corner and another gas station right next door or across the street?
This would be considered a threat, since they are competing with each other for customers in that area.
Write a minimum of at least one full paragraph for each of the threats presented.
For each threat, you need to ensure you use relevant business theories, concepts, and practices that are aligned to support the statements and findings.
Note that bullet points are not acceptable.
Each of these threats must come from a force or forces occurring within a dimension of the general environment within the organization’s external environment (keep in mind a threat can stem from more than one dimension within the general environment).
Bces is derived.
Factors to consider when you think about company threats:
An increased number of new companies offering similar products that shift the customer away from the company’s brand.
The physical environment (Is your building in a growing part of town? Is the bus company cutting routes?).
Changes in the law and government regulations that drive costs of running the business to increase.
Future trends in the economy and changes in the age, race, gender, and culture of those you serve in your area.

Scope of the Work
Hospital Family Resource Centre with the support of TUSLA wishes to commission an appropriately qualified independent consut Programme in rural East Limerick since 2004 targeting parents/ guardians of children aged 0 – 5.

In 2017, Cordon was appointed Area Senior Vice President for MEA responsible for leading operations and delivering business growth and profit across the group’s largest area. Cordon has played a crucial role in Radisson Hotel Group’s expansion in the region, hitting key milestones for the group worldwide and setting in place an ambitious five-year development plan to reach 100 hotels in the Middle East by 2025.

As travel started to rebound in 2021, Cordon remained optimistic and encouraged partnerships with industry peers and the public sector to rebuild the hospitality industry and ensure the safety of travellers, partners, and team members.
With a mission to be recognised as one of the top three hotel groups in the world by 2025, Cordon’s visionary leadership helped secure various awards for the group including the Leaders in Hospitality Awards 2022.

Monther Darwish
Founder and Managing Director, Palazzo Hospitality
Over the last years, Palazzo Versace Dubai’s managing director Monther Darwish put the property on the map, coming up with innovative campaigns aimed at increasing occupancy and revenue. As a result, the property had one of the highest occupancies amongst city resorts in 2021/2022.
July 2022 set a milestone for the businessman, who launched Palazzo Hospitality, a new management company for luxury hotels, residential buildings and lifestyle brands that aims to reinvent the world of personalised luxury. Leveraging on the trusted expertise of a team of hospitality experts, Palazzo Hospitality will bring to the market a diverse range hotel brands, from ultra-luxury beach resorts to business and art properties. Founded by Monther Darwish, the company is dedicated to building world-class hospitality products.
The launch of Palazzo Hospitality comes after the success of the ultra-luxury hotel in Jaddaf Waterfront, which has witnessed an immense success due to the market positioning through different campaigns and new business products, like the e-commerce platform aimed to offer guests the ease to purchase an experience at Palazzo Versace Dubai.
The hotel’s e-commerce platform has generated millions in revenue. Darwish says: “Being an independent property gives you the freedom to experiment and that’s the beauty of Palazzo Versace Dubai. We’re free to throw into the market any crazy idea and our audience just likes how unique we are. We’ve been thinking outside the hospitality box for a while, bringing in new initiatives and projects that haven’t been implemented anywhere else in the industry. Our ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ idea was a tactic to attract younger guests, the new generation who like to experience luxury with ease of purchase”.
Palazzo Versace Dubai was also the first property to introduce a bidding platform for stays, while the F&B segment continued to be a focus for the property. F&B revenue increased, too, as Palazzo Versace Dubai came up with unique concepts that proved to be successful among UAE residents. The ‘Into the Jungle brunch’ at Giardino, Palazzo Versace Dubai’s all-day dining restaurant, was a concept focused on child-friendly activities and a great F&B offering. It has been fully booked every Friday since it launched in July 2020.
In 2022, the hotel revisited its strategies and formulated new ones to continue to bring in guests and stay above its competitors.

David Allan
Cluster General Manager, Radisson Hotel Group
David has an ability to inspire and lead his team while continuing to fight at the forefront and his capability to communicate and comfort the owners and external stakeholders are only some of the traits where David differs distinctly from many of his contemporaries. Despite the challenging times, the hotels have been able to sustain a retention rate of over 90%, demonstrating the loyalty to his team and their commitment to each other. Everyone in the team has been a big part of supporting the wellbeing of others amidst the social distancing. From keeping the team healthy and fit by organising isolated fitness regimes, fun runs, or simply coming up with new ways of entertainment such as stay-home hobbies, story sharing, or cooking ideas, David was committed to supporting everyone’s mental wellbeing. Looking back, the teams have not only made it through 2020 with a smile, but they have also been able to achieve budget and forecast on the second half of 2020, a remarkable achievement given the circumstances. Looking at the financials for 2021, the hotels are in line with their forecast and ahead of budget for the first 6 months. His colleagues and team members will assure you; David is not only someone who lives and breathes hospitality, he is a true leader that does not only take care of business continuity but also understands what is required to meet the expectations of stakeholders, employees, and communities. “David is a highly gifted and very experienced General Manager who has not only coped with the arduous challenges of opening three full service hotels in three years, whilst continuing to manage all of them, but has successfully navigated a way through the pandemic growing market share, maintaining high levels of guest satisfaction and exceeding financial expectations. Whilst David has numerous achievements to be proud of, including being the first hotel to organise a vaccination day with DHA, he is most proud of not making any employees redundant despite the challenges of the pandemic, speaks volumes about his character”, said Bert Fol, Regional Director Arabian Peninsula & East Africa, Radisson Hotel Group.
Taking the lead for three hotel openings with total 1046 rooms within 4 years, in a competitive market, wasn’t tough enough, the biggest challenge has been the uncertainty of the past 16 months. Throughout the past year, the tourism and hospitality industry has very evidently been impacted by the crisis, leading to most hotels across the globe choosing to temporarily close due to low occupancy or restrictions. There is no doubt that this has been a difficult time for everyone, but no matter the circumstances, David would always try to emit calmness, underlining his commitment to his team, ensuring everyone’s wellbeing comes first while refusing to compromise on anyone’s job security. David did not only manage to retain all 369 team members across the three hotels, despite the very difficult cash flow situation that the hotels went through during the pandemic, he also secured business during the hard-hit period of the strict lockdowns and travel restrictions, by working closely with the Dubai Healthcare departments and offering support. Whilst many hesitated, David, recognised early that this new kind of business would help them to survive and get through the most difficult months. While the first weeks of lockdown and COVID-19 landscape and more than 700 repatriate stays, the teams had to learn to fully adapt. Between PPE equipment, strict hygiene measures, and self-isolating repatriates, David made sure to stay close to his team, while supporting and supervising them on this honourable journey. From controlling expenses, repurposing the hotel for essential service use, and temporary closure of another, David has had many factors to consider, but never forgot his responsibility towards his team members. Throughout the lockdown, David didn’t step foot out of the hotel, ensuring that his teams were looked after and never shied from questions. He made it a point to address all concerns as much as possible through personal interactions at the hotel as well as weekly newsletters. On the top of the agenda; transparency and support. Although the hospitality industry has had one of its most difficult years in terms of cash flow, David had made it his priority to support those with financial concerns be it rent or other commitments, through temporary accommodation in one of the hotels or financial support where possible. In terms of revenue results the grou had a record breaking profit conversion of 19.7 Million, a great achievement which could only be realised by a great team working under an exceptional leader.

Hailing from the Southern state of Tennessee in the US, Keffer has held managerial positions with Marriott International for over 25 years. Beginning his career in the Four Seasons Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Keffer joined Marriott International in his home state of Tennessee sometime later, followed by positions in Florida and New York. In 2000, Keffer decided on a move to Asia and spent two years in Japan as the Food and Beverage Director of the Renaissance Hotel, Sapporo, followed by three years in South Korea as Director of Operations in the JW Marriott, Seoul. 2005 he saw a move to Europe taking on the role of Area Director of Operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland until 2009, when he came to the UAE as General Manager of Marriott Dubai Harbour Hotel and Suites.

Bill’s wealth of experience in the industry allowed him to lead the iconic 1,608 key hotel through the pandemic without having to close the hotel doors, a feat which was unachievable by many hotels across the globe, especially one of this size. Regarding revenue generation, Bill and his team adapted the hotel’s sales strategy during the pandemic, diversifying into long stay business for the hotel as well as reaching out to new markets, such as Israel. These new strategies helped maintain and support the business during the tough times and into 2021 helped drive more demand leading the hotel to achieve budget year to date. His kind and friendly demeanour combined with charismatic personality makes him approachable and well-trusted by his team which is reflected in the Associate Engagement results in 2021 where the hotel achieved 90% Engagement. And like a true mentor, Bill was overjoyed when promoting Nick Patmore (ex. Food & Beverages Director) to Hotel Manager last year. Nick’s promotion was a result of F&B exceeding its budget by 5 % in 2021, a huge achievement following a year where the hospitality and F&B industry were badly hit, helping for a speedy recovery for the hotel. If you were to ask Bill to pinpoint his favourite achievements, the avid animal lover would shout out the cat shelter project he has been part of lately. Teaming up with associates from the hotel, the group is facilitating over 25 stray cats at the staff accommodation in Ras Al Khor where our furry friends are well looked after.

The robot journalist Nan, is capable of writing both short as well as long articles, Wan Xiaojun, a professor at y newspaper on January 19, 2017. The robot wrote a 300-word article in just a second, scientists reveal.
Also Read: Milky Way Galaxy's mass is recalculated using a new technique, and boy is it big!
The article by the robot was about the travel rush during Chinese New Year, also known as the 'Spring Festival', which was published in the Southern Metropolis Daily, based out of the port city of Guangzhou.
The robot journalist Nan, is capable of writing both short as well as long articles, Wan Xiaojun, a professor at Peking University, revealed.
Xiaojun is the lead researcher on a team that develops and studies these robots.
"When compared with the staff reporters, Xiao Nan has a stronger data analysis capacity and is quicker at writing stories," he said. "But it does not mean intelligent robots will soon be able to completely replace reporters," Xiaojun said, as quoted by China o the robot.
This experiment proved that presently robots are still unable to carry out face-to-face interviews as they can't map spontaneous reactions nor come up with follow-up questions, Xiaojun explained.
Also, they are not intelligent enough to choose a significant news angle based on a conversation or interview, like humans.
"But robots will be able to act as a supplement, helping newspapers and related media, as well as editors and reporters," he told the China Daily.
This is not the first robot being developed by China that can replace humans, the evolution began some time ago.
For example, In May 2016, Foxconn, an Apple and Samsung manufacturing company, replaced 60,000 of its workers with robots, over hald its workforce.

People living in large cities have to face many problems in everyday life. What are those problems? Should the government encourage people to move to regional towns?
Whether to live in the convenience of big cities or the beauty of rural areas is a topic that has been long debated. Many argue that both have its advantages and disadvantages. Although, large cities have its problems such as pollution, not enough family time and increased levels of anxiety and depression, the solution is not to shift the individuals living in urban areas to rural ones. Therefore, this essay will focus mainly on the aforementioned issues and the steps the government can take in order to tackle these problems.

Every age group experiences a slighlty different culture and traditions because they are constantly changing. This is because some cultures are more dominant and force the other ones to change.

In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Do the advantages of this practice outweigh the disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.*
The study gap between high school and the university is a common practice in some states of the World as this time can be utilized in working or traveling. I believe that there are more advantages than disadvantages. Although lose of interest in studies due to traveling and financial stability due to working are some of the drawbacks of this ritual, benefits like exposure to the world and exploration outweigh the disadvantages.

This study aims to gauge the knowledge of NCDs risk factors among pharmacy students of a Malaysian public university. This paper also outlines perspectives of pharmacy students on the strategies to raise the awareness of NCDs risk factors. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Faculty of Pharmacy, International Islamic University Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaires were pretested and validated before being distributed to pharmacy students across different years of study. The data indicated an average level of knowledge towards risk factors of NCDs among study participants with no significant differences in knowledge between male and female genders (p = 0.583). However, there is a significant difference in knowledge concerning the year of study (p < 0.001); as positive correlation can be seen between the level of education and the knowledge of NCDs risk factor. Most of the students (75%) were unaware of the planning by the Ministry of Health (MOH) to control NCDs. Reinforcement of NCDs-related education activities is imperative in order to increase the overall awareness concerning the risk factors of NCDs among future pharmacy practitioners. Further collaborations between educational institutions and the MOH were proposed to help raise awareness of NCDs risk factors among the younger population.

Joe Biden and Yair Lapid Signing Historic Jerusalem Declaration (PhotoLapid, signed a historic agreement on Thursday which reaffirms the “unbreakable” bonds between the two countries and the “enduring commitment of the United States to Israel’s security.”
Officially called the Joint Declaration on the US-Israel Strategic Partnership, it is also being called the Jerusalem declaration.
In it, the United States reiterates its “steadfast commitment “to preserve and strengthen Israel’s capability to deter its enemies and to defend itself against any threat or combination of threats. The United States further reiterates that these commitments are “bipartisan and sacrosanct and that they are not only moral commitments, but also strategic commitments that are vitally important to the national security of the United States itself.”
Please help us out :
Will you offer us a hand? Every gift, regardless of size, fuels our future.
Your critical contribution enables us to maintain our independence from shareholders or wealthy owners, allowing us to keep up reporting without bias. It means we can continue to make Jewish Business News available to everyone.
You can support us for as already announced that he will be quitting politics and seek another term in the Knesset in the upcoming November elections.
While Lapid desperately fights domestically to achieve a victory this fall, President Joe Biden is also facing critical elections in November. Today his Democratic party controls both houses of Congress, but polls show it losing at least one in the November midterm elections. Should this happen, the Republican Party promises to use majority control to investigate President Biden’s family and anything his administration has done in an open public hearing as a “payback” for the current Democrat led hearings into the Trump Administration’s alleged transgressions.
Showing strong support for Israel and achieving a big diplomatic win could help boost President Biden’s standings in the polls where his current popularity rating is sinking by the minute. And when the President is unpopular his party always does poorly in the midterm elections.
Another diplomatic win for Biden during his Israel trip was the signing of the new I2U2 partnership – I2 for the first letter in “Israel” and “India” and U2 for the same in “US” and “UAE” – established between the governments of India, Israel, the United Arab Emirates and the United States. The member nations said that the new initiative is meant to use the ”vibrancy of our societies and entrepreneurial spirit to tackle some of the greatest challenges confronting our world, with a particular focus on joint investments and new initiatives in water, energy, transportation, space, health, and food security.”
And then there is the historic flight that President Biden will make on Friday going directly from Israel to Saudi Arabia, something that would not have happened until recently. Previously, the President would have needed first to travel to a country like Jordan that has diplomacy with Israel before continuing on to Saudi Arabia. And rumors abound as to what might come out of the Biden Saudi Arabia visit.
As for the Jerusalem Declaration, it reaffirms the strategic U.S.-Israel partnership and states that it is based on a “bedrock of shared values, shared interests, and true friendship.”
“Furthermore,” it says, “the United States and Israel affirm that among the values the countries share is an unwavering commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and the calling of “Tikkun Olam,” repairing the world. The leaders express appreciation to former Prime Minister Bennett, who led the most diverse government in Israel’s history, and under whose leadership this extraordinary partnership has continued to grow stronger.”
The Declaration also holds the reaffirmation of American support for the defense of Israel is consistent with the “longstanding security relationship between the United States and Israel and the unshakeable U.S. commitment to Israel’s security, and especially to the maintenance of its qualitative military edge.”

The American government also pledged to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear capabilities, calling this goal integral to the safety of the State of Israel. It further declared that America is prepared to use “all elements of its national power” to ensure that Iran never becomes a nuclear power.
The United States further affirmed the commitment to work together with other partners to confront Iran’s aggression and destabilizing activities, whether advanced directly or through proxies and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Prime Minister Lapid had a lot to say about the Iranian issue in his comments after the signing of the declaration. “Our way of life is what threatens them,” he said. “It’s what makes the Iranian regime develop its nuclear program, Hezbollah aims its missiles at us and terrorist organizations worldwide send suicide bombers. They want to destroy the only Jewish state in the world. We will never let that happen.”
“Words will not stop them, Mr. President,” Lapid added. “Diplomacy will not stop them. The only thing that will stop Iran is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program the free world will use force. The only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on the table.”
In addition, the US and Israel note that nothing better reflects the steadfast and bipartisan support of the United States to Israel’s security than the unprecedented Memoranda of Understanding on security assistance signed by successive U.S. administrations over the last few decades and that these arrangements demonstrate in word and deed that the United States considers Israel’s security essential to U.S. interests and an anchor of regional stability.
The US strongly supports implementing the terms of the current historic $38 billion Memorandum of Understanding in full, which honors the United States enduring commitment to Israel’s security, as well as its conviction that a follow-on MOU should address emerging threats and new realities. In addition, the United States is committed to seeking additional missile defense assistance in excess of MOU levels, in exceptional circumstances such as the hostilities with Hamas over eleven days in May 2021. Israel appreciates the U.S. commitment to the MOU and for providing an additional $1 billion over MOU levels in supplemental missile defense funding following the 2021 conflict.
While declaring their joint desire to see a peaceful final settlement negotiated with the Palestinians, both the US and Israel shared their condemnations of the recent wave of terrorism inflicted on Israeli citizens and of the terrorist groups themselves.
The United States and Israel affirm that they will continue to work together to combat all efforts to boycott or delegitimize Israel, to deny its right to self-defense, or to unfairly single it out in any forum, including at the United Nations or the International Criminal Court. While fully respecting the right to freedom of expression, they firmly reject the BDS campaign.
“The United States is proud to stand with the Jewish and democratic State of Israel, and with its people, whose uncommon courage, resilience, and spirit of innovation are an inspiration to so many worldwide,” reads the Declaration.
In this same spirit, the United States and Israel affirm their commitment to continue their shared and accelerated efforts to enable Israeli passport holders to be included in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program as soon as possible, as well as their support for increased collaboration on operational cyber exchange and on combatting cybercrime.
The leaders state that all of these initiatives, and countless other joint endeavors, undertaken between their peoples at every level of government and civil society demonstrate that the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership is indispensable and makes an outsized contribution not only to the good of American and Israeli citizens but also to the good of the Middle East and of the world.

BTS with Liam McEwan on the red carpet | @liam.mcewan/Instagram
From his social media, it’s clear that Liam truly is an ARMY even in his personal life. But, recently, he has spoken on a few occasions about his relationship with BTS.
View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Liam McEwan (@liam.mcewan)
Liam McEwan surprised ARMYs by joining Twitter Spaces #BT21UNDERGROUND. He talked a little bit about BTS during his time there and let ARMYs know they are definitely “stanning the right people.”
When I first met them, they were famous, but they weren’t like megastars. Now, they’re just the biggest thing on the planet. You know, I interviewed them recently, and they haven’t changed as guys. They’re still the same humble dudes no matter how much fame, success, money, power, influence they have, they have stayed BTS, and I respect that because I get to interview some pretty cool people, and not everyone is as humble as them, so I think you guys … are stanning the right people.
— Liam McEwan
@LiamMcEwan is seriously an amazing person. Him talking about BTS with so much joy and support is really beautiful#BT21UNDERGROUND
— Poli ⁷ | HYBE INTERN. (@Poli_Pol1) July 15, 2021
This wouldn’t be the first time that Liam has praised BTS outside of his interviews with them. Recently, when speaking with That Pop Culture Show, he was asked, “Out of all the interviews, which one do you feel connected with the most on a personal level?” Liam explained that it depends on how much time you get with the person. However, there is one he feels the most connection to, and it’s BTS.
One of the recurring ones … is BTS, the K-Pop group. I first met them in 2017… I got an email from their publicist that was saying, ‘Hey, I promise you this band’s going to be huge.’ Look at them now! …’I’d love for you to be one of the people to interview them on the red carpet,’ and I was like, ‘Well if they’re gonna be huge.’ …I went to check it out, see what they’re about, and I was like, ‘Oh, wow, these guys are doing something really, really cool here. I’d love to interview them.’

After meeting them for the first time, they immediately connected. Now, they have had numerous interviews together, and despite now being the biggest K-Pop group, they remain the same humble guys he met back in 2017.
I clicked with those guys. There was something about our energy, and in our synergy and vibes that just, even with the language barrier, we were able to cross, you know, which is interesting because I interview people that can fully speak in the same language as I am, but we just aren’t on the same page, or they just don’t want to be there else, but those guys haven’t changed in the last however many years it’s been… When I first met them in 2017, they were famous, but they weren’t the megastars they are.

Liam said that he naturally become a fan since he learned of BTS. Being a fan has also helped him be a better interviewer because he personally knows what fans want to know about.
It was an authentic thing for me as well becoming a fan of them because… how could I be so exposed to it and not genuinely like what they do? And because I was becoming a fan, I was like, ‘Oh, I actually know what to talk to these guys about.’ I know what the fans want to hear, what they want to talk about, what they get asked about a lot, what to kind of avoid. Also, they’re young guys, they’re around my age, so it was a cool interview, and I’m lucky I’m able to do that with them.

The launch of the collaboration between the Pope’s own Global Pact for Education and the UN’s Mission 4.7 took plaeen the Vatican and United Nations (UN) this week that aims at educating the world in “sustainable lifestyles,” “gender equality,” and “global citizenship,” among other goals.
The launch of the collaboration between the Pope’s own Global Pact for Education and the UN’s Mission 4.7 took place this week during the Vatican Youth Symposium. Amongst the speakers at the launch were pro-abortion globalists Jeffrey Sachs, the director general of UNESCO, and the former Secretary General of the U.N. Ban Ki-Moon, who were joined by Pope Francis. The symposium was co-hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences (PASS) and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) / SDSN Youttti and Laudato si. The Vatican’s Youth Symposium promotes the SDGs even though targets 3.7 and 5.6 include “sexual and reproductive health services,” what pro-life critics point out are euphemisms for abortion and contraception.
Its co-host, the SDSN, was founded by Ban Ki-Moon in 2012 and its donors include the pro-abortion, pro-LGBT Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Jeffrey Sachs, one of the moderators of the 2020 Vatican Symposium, is the president of the SDSN and an ardent proponent of abortion and population control.
Mission 4.7, itself launched at the Youth Symposium, is so styled due to its focus on SDG target 4.7 and has been established to “put into global practice this bold vision” of target 4.7. The point in question reads: “By 2030 ensure all learners acquire knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development.”
Leading the group is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT Audrey Azoulay, the Director General of UNESCO, alongside Ban Ki-Moon, whilst the chancellor for the PASS and the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Monsignor Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, is one of the Co-Chairs.
In his official capacity in Mission 4.7, Mgr. Sorondo represents the Pope. LifeSiteNews co-founder John Henry Westen has previously written about Sorondo’s influence in the Vatican, highlighting his close relations with pro-abortion globalists, as well as his opposition to traditional, Catholic doctrine. Earlier this year, Sorondo defended his decision to give Holy Communion to the pro-abortion president of Argentina and his mistress during their recent visit to the Vatican, arguing against Canon Law in doing so.
Despite the pro-abortion connections of the various organizations and members involved, Pope Francis welcomed the collaboration. In a video message to the event, Francis said that the gathering was “an act of hope” which can promote a “new good climate of educational opportunities based on social justice and reciprocal love.” He praised the UN, saying that it offered “a unique opportunity for governments and civil society of the world to unite both in hope and in action for a new education.”

Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful.
Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.).
As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
"What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching.
In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions.
Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following:
"The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself."
It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin.
Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff.
Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition."
Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]."
And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church."
But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming.
We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions.

The Pope also alluded to the new style of fraternity which he called for in Fratelli Tutti, saying: “The Global Compact on Education and Mission 4.7 will work together for the civilisation of love, beauty and unity. Allow me to tell you that you are the poets of a new human beauty, a new fraternal and friendly beauty, as well as of the preservation of the earth we tread.”
Despite the SDG’s promotion of both contraception and abortion, the Pope expressed his “satisfaction” that governments have “recommitted themselves” to the UN’s agenda, through adopting the “2030 Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in synergy with the Global Compact on Education.” He has previously noted how “gratified” he was that world nations adopted the SDG’s.
Speaking after the pontiff, Mgr Sorondo also highlighted his pleasure at being involved in the movement, “especially after this very important speech by the Pope, that recognizes the need to re-establish global and universal #education.”
Meanwhile Ban Ki-Moon declared that Mission 4.7 was “a vital initiative to advocate for all learners to acquire the values, knowledge, and skills to promote global citizenship& sustainable development.” Despite his own support for abortion and LGBT ideology, Ban Ki-Moon has been invited to the Vatican by the Pope a number of times, previously thanking the Pope for his role in promoting adherence to the pro-abortion 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its SDG’s.
Deepening Vatican ties with the UN
Pope Francis has had a number of UN engagements in the last week. It was only last weekend that he called “for a change of direction,” pledging to reduce the Vatican to “zero” carbon emissions by 2050. Whilst failing to mention Jesus Christ, or anything remotely religious, in his appearance at the summit, the Pope chose to base his statements on “fraternity and the alliance between the human being and the environment.”
Furthermore, he promised that the “Holy See is committed to promoting education in integral ecology,” explaining that this means that “[p]olitical and technical measures must be united with an educational process that favors a cultural model of development and sustainability.”
Days before that, on December 8, he joined forces with major global corporations to promote a new “economic system” of capitalism based on the SDG’s. The new “Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican” is fundamentally committed to promote “environmental, social, and governance measures” in order to “achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.” The Council “challenges business and investment leaders of all sizes” to adopt its principles.
The Pope’s ever closer support and links with globalist corporations and leaders lends further credence to his alignment with the globalist call for a “Great Reset.” In 2019, he made a speech advocating for globalist world practices, calling for “globalization to be beneficial for all.” Referring to a “supranational common good,” the Pope added that “there is need for a special legally constituted authority capable of facilitating its implementation.”
At the beginning of December, Pope Francis then used the phrase “build back better,” the slogan that has become synonymous with globalist polices to “push the reset button” on the global economy. The phrase is also the name of Joe Biden’s website, BuildBackBetter.gov, on which he claims to be “restoring American leadership.”
Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum, is a prominent proponent of the Great Reset. He stated: “In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” Schwab has published a book titled “COVID-19: The Great Reset,” in which he outlines the “changes” necessary for a more “sustainable world going forward.”
LifeSiteNews’ John-Henry Westen has also noted that Pope Francis’ opinion piece published in The New York Times on Thanksgiving Day “echoed the sentiments of Joe Biden and other pushers of the so-called Great Reset, calling for the world to ‘build a better, different, human future’.”

LA JOLLA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Calidi), a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is pioneering allogeneic cerization to proceed with a phase 1 physician-sponsored clinical trial that will use Calidi’s licensed oncolytic virotherapy platform, NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 (NeuroNova), a cutting-edge therapeutic candidate comprising tumor-tropic neural stem cells delivering an oncolytic adenovirus selectively to tumor sites in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma (Calidi’s NNV-2 program).
The phase 1 physician-sponsored clinical trial will be an open-label, non-randomized, multicenter study. Once the phase 1 trial is funded, it will address the safety and tolerability of administering serial doses of NeuroNova in adult patients with recurrent histologically confirmed high-grade gliomas (WHO grade III or IV). Secondary endpoints will evaluate treatment efficacy, including progression-free and overall survival as well as any immune response to NeuroNova. This physician-sponsored study will be led by principal investigator Jana Portnow, M.D., Professor in City of Hope’s Department of Medical Oncology & Therapeutics Research and Co-Director of the Brain Tumor Program at City of Hope, a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. City of Hope is one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States.
A previously completed phase 1 dose escalation clinical trial, in newly diagnosed glioma patients, of a single dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 (NeuroNova) given as an adjunct to radiation and temozolomide (Calidi’s NNV-1 program) demonstrated that NeuroNova was well tolerated in the patient population and showed promising preliminary results of efficacy [J Fares et al, Lancet Oncology, 2021, 22(8):1103-1114].
“Worldwide, an estimated 270,000 people were diagnosed with a primary brain tumor in 2020, with a five-year survival rate of only 5%. Recurrent glioma patients have poor prognosis with a median survival of less than one year. Developing our drug candidate for this indication represents a significant milestone that will empower us to help more individuals survive this devastating disease,” said Calidi Biotherapeutics CEO and Chairman of the Board Allan J. Camaisa. “As Calidi undertakes this endeavor, we are pleased to have exclusive commercialization rights to this technology and thrilled to collaborate with two scientific trailblazers who have worked together on this project for over a decade: Dr. Karen Aboody, Professor in the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, Scientific Leader of the Neuro-oncology Disease Team at City of Hope, and Dr. Maciej (Matt) Lesniak, Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery, at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.”
“Our team at City of Hope is excited to be a part of the development of NeuroNova. Despite their potential, the first-generation oncolytic virus therapies given as free virus were not very effective — most likely due to rapid inactivation by the patient’s immune system. Our new platform uses stem cells like a ‘Trojan horse’ to shield the oncolytic viral particles from immune inactivation and deliver them to the tumor sites. This results in significantly more virus distributed at the tumor sites, inducing a greater self-amplifying anti-tumor response. This may also result in a secondary anti-tumor immune response,” said City of Hope’s Dr. Karen Aboody. “In addition to significant experience with this technology, City of Hope has a proven track record in GMP manufacturing of cell and gene therapy agents.”
About NeuroNova
The NeuroNova platform, NSC-CRAd-S-pk7, is an allogeneic, “off-the-shelf” therapy comprised of an immortalized Neural Stem Cell (NSC) line loaded with an engineered oncolytic adenovirus. Upon surgical resection of a tumor, NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 is injected into the walls of the resection cavity, resulting in viral infection and destruction of any remaining tumor cells. Calidi holds an exclusive worldwide licensing agreement for patents covering the NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 technology.
About Calidi Biotherapeutics
Calidi Biotherapeutics is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company with proprietary technology that is revolutionizing the effective delivery and potentiation of oncolytic viruses for targeted therapy against difficult-to-treat cancers. Calidi Biotherapeutics is advancing a potent allogeneic stem cell and oncolytic virus combination for use in multiple oncology indications. Calidi’s off-the-shelf, universal cell-based delivery platforms are designed to protect, amplify, and potentiate oncolytic viruses currently in development leading to enhanced efficacy and improved patient safety. Calidi Biotherapeutics is headquartered in La Jolla, California. For more information, please visit

Lisa, a mother of four, said: "The worst thing is that my boy said 'That's the way it is. It's part and parcel of being out and about'.
"He and his friends say they either have to have strong legs and run or they carry a knife for protection - which they are not going to do."
Mrs Liston said that after the robbery at about 6pm she and the mother of another of the victims called police but they did not respond initially.
She ended up driving around Prestwich for almost two hours trying in vain to find the culprits herself.
Police later went to the home of two of the victims to establish the route taken by the offenders, to assess where to check CCTV.
"I do believe that unless something is done, this will only get worse, and someone will get seriously hurt or killed," she said.
"If my lad or the others had said no to the robbers and a struggle had started one of them could have been in a morgue by now.
"They were cornered near the flats by two boys on bikes and another who was acting as a 'look out'. One was brandishing a large machete type knife with a ten-inch blade.
"They said to my son and his friends 'well you're f****d now. Empty your pockets and give me your stuff'.
Prestwich and Whitefield Neighbourhood Inspector, Michael Brennan (Image: Joel Goodman)
"It was reported via 999. The police were given accurate descriptions and even an address of a suspect.
"I drove around where I knew they had been. Another two calls were made from one of the parents but the police did not come out. I am disgusted at the way it was handled. My son and the others have been held up in broad daylight.
"But the response of one police officer to the other mother was 'it's not exactly an emergency is it' .
"All of the boys were in fear for their lives during the robbery. The police need to show a presence in cases like this.
"Right now neither myself, the other mum, or the boys feel they have the police on their side."
Neighbourhood Inspector for Prestwich and Whitefield, Michael Brennan, said: "We are already moving forward with this investigation and looking at the evidence to hand and whether these offenders can be identified."
At the time of the offence one neighbourhood police team were on rest day and the other had been seconded to help with a Gallipoli Day parade.
Police have carried out a second CCTV trawl and made contact with the remaining victims and their parents.
In a statement GMP said: "Shortly after 6.30pm on Sunday April 28 2019, two boys approached a group of five other boys on Rectory Green.
"The two offenders made threats toward the five other boys while brandishing a knife, before stealing items including cash, phones and clothing from the group.
"One of the offenders is described as white, aged around 17-years-old, 5ft 10ins tall and of medium build.
Inspector Michael Brennan
"He had short dark hair and was wearing a dark blue bubble coat with the hood up and dark coloured tracksuit bottoms that had a blue camouflage design stripe down the outside of the legs. He was also riding a mountain bike.
"The second offender is also described as white and aged around 17-years-old. He was approximately 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build with curly ginger hair. He was carrying a black Karrimor rucksack and riding an orange Carrera mountain bike.
"Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 8172 quoting incident 1647 of 28/04/19 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111."
Last week the M.E.N reported how it was hoped a return to neighbourhood policing in Prestwich and Whitefield would better protect locals after a spate of high-profile crimes.
In the last month a 16-year-old boy suffered life-changing injuries after being stabbed outside a Whitefield restaurant, EastzEast; a man in his 50s was robbed at knifepoint of his £4,000 Cartier watch as he sat in his car behind the NatWest bank in Prestwich; thieves attempted a ram-raid on the Superdrug store in Prestwich; and a 14-year-old girl, and two teenage boys have been charged in connection with a robbery at Whitefield tram station.

In addition, shop keeper, Asad Kayani was robbed at gunpoint at his convenience store in Heywood Road, Prestwich.
The situation has resulted in one local resident starting an online petition for a mobile police station to be set up in Prestwich.
Matt Smith says the spate of violent and knife crime needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously hurt.
He said: "I have no doubt that in relative terms Prestwich is still fairly low in the league tables of criminal activity and therefore maybe not getting the police attention other Greater Manchester areas warrant.
"It is also not a race to the bottom. I feel that if the council and police get ahead of things, it will save the area, in the long run, from becoming yet another area rife with knife and violent crime.

"I also don't accept police cuts as an argument not to tackle the issue as it will only get more expensive the worse it becomes.
"With regard to the mobile police station, I think this will only work if it is stationed in the area for a prolonged period and rotated around certain hot spots such as St Mary's Park, plus Prestwich and Heaton Park tram stops.
"I have lived in Prestwich for 13 years and cannot recall seeing a police officer on the beat and perhaps only seen a PCSO once or twice in that time.
"I have two young children and with the recent wave of violent crime, coupled with the decline of our city centre and the well-publicised knife crime there, it is seriously making us consider moving away from Manchester after living in the area all of our lives."
But Inspector Brennan said: "I'm not convinced on the mobile police station idea as it essentially restricts us to a specific location when we know robberies and other matters are spread out but I will look at what our ongoing response needs to be over the coming days."

New research has revealed we’re an intolerant nation when it comes to seay fever.
The research also reveals that a whopping 46 percent struggle to feel sorry for their own partner when they are suffering thanks to their hay fever – with ten percent admitting they sometimes feel really annoyed by the sneezing and sniffing.
And over half (51 percent) say they sometimes get irritated by those who often seem to suffer from allergies and colds.
What’s more, three in ten (31 percent) worry about picking up other people’s germs, even if they insist they’re sneezing or coughing due to hay fever.
The research was commissioned by LG Electronics, whose range of allergy-reducing home appliances – including the LG Turbowash™360 F4V910BTSE Washing Machine and LG Styler – guarantee to eliminate 99.9% of allergens and bacteria that cling onto clothes.
While 27 percent confess they sometimes wish social distancing was still in place, as it’s the perfect excuse to get people who are suffering to keep away from them.
As for the office, 56 percent claim they sometimes feel anxious when colleagues come into work who are coughing and sniffling because of pollen.
In fact, nearly a fifth (17 percent) secretly think they should stay at home instead – with 27 percent admitting to have pressured a hay fever suffering colleague to go home early because their sniffles were irritating them so much.
So, it’s little wonder perhaps, that 23 percent of the allergy sufferers polled said they have been made to feel like a virtual “outcast” by work colleagues and even their own boss, because of their symptoms.
And while a fifth say they sometimes want to isolate themselves because their symptoms are so bad, 12 percent believe that thanks to suffering from allergy related coughs and sneezes, they’ve been overlooked at work for a promotion – with non-sufferers being favoured over them instead.
Further findings include 22 percent saying their hay fever means they have to miss out on parties and barbeques during the summer months, with 16 percent also unable to visit loved ones.
11 percent claimed their allergies often ruin their social life, with 11 percent admitting their romantic relationship has suffered too.
David Palmer, Senior Product Specialist at LG Electronics, said: “We are committed to ongoing innovations that support people to live a smart good life and this includes products with our allergy programmes and sanitisation features. These include our Turbowash™360 F4V910BTSE Washing Machine range, which has been awarded the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval, that features allergy care programmes that sanitise clothes with pure water, using Steam™ technology, or the ability to add sanitising steam to 6 additional cycles. Additionally, LG’s Styler Steam Clothing Care System®, also removes allergen and germs via its TrueSteam technology.”
Professor Adam Fox, Paediatric Allergist at a leading London teaching hospital and spokesperson for LG Electronics said: “Hay fever can have a very real impact on quality of life, affecting our sleep and ability to concentrate, which in turn impacts productivity at work and school performance – particularly unhelpful when most exams are in the middle of the pollen season.
“Unfortunately, pollen is very good at getting on our clothes and in our hair so just staying inside won’t always be effective. Washing clothes regularly, avoiding drying them outside, and washing your hair before bedtime, to avoid getting pollen on your pillow, can all be part of the solution.”
The rise in pollen count elongating this hay fever season1, paired with a newly announced shortage of allergy medication2, could mean it’s one of the toughest years yet for sufferers. LG’s home appliances range includes products that feature Steam™ and TrueSteam technology, which helps deep clean and sanitise clothing, as well as specific wash cycles and settings for allergy care.
The study also found that a whopping 71 percent of allergy sufferers say they think people have become more anxious about others coughing and sneezing in public due to the pandemic.
In fact, 54 percent have experienced someone scowling or moving away from them when they’ve been coughing or sneezing in public due to their hay fever.
And when it comes to managing their symptoms, 49 percent like to shower more frequently, while 37 percent wash their clothes as soon as they get home to remove pollen or dust.
14 percent spray their clothes with a disinfectant spray every day, while 13 percent even resort to washing their clothes TWICE A DAY.

Major cryptocurrencies were roiled by volatility lasollowing a sudden and violent de-pegging of UST from its 1 to 1 peg with the Dollar, LUNA fell into a massive downward spiral, plunging more than 99% in less than a week. To make matters worse, the organization in charge of backing UST with a basket of other cryptocurrencies began dumping billions of dollars of Bitcoin in a vain attempt to defend UST’s peg, exacerbating downward pressure across the entire cryptocurrency market.
While this episode will undoubtedly leave a sour taste in the mouths of many investors, it is worth noting that not all stablecoins are the same. In fact, asset-backed stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) handled irregularly massive order volumes amid the chaos with no major deviations from their pegs. The reality is, however, the UST/LUNA meltdown will not be soon forgotten and will be a primary focus of regulators in the months to come.
Related Assets: Tether (USDT-USD), USD Coin (USDC-USD), TerraUSD (UST-USD), Terra (LUNA-USD), Bitcoin USD (BTC-USD)
UST and LUNA Meltdown Exacerbated Cryptocurrency Sell-Off
As MRP wrote in October 2021, Stablecoins largely set the stage for a massive run-up in the market cap of Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies that would eventually take the USD-denominated price of 1 BTC to an all-time high just shy of $69,000. However, as the stablecoin giveth, the stablecoin may also taketh away. Bitcoin is currently trading between the $29,000-$30,000 range, roughly 56% off of its all-time high, and at least part of that decline can be chalked up to the recent meltdown of the Terra cryptocurrency (LUNA), spurred on by a violent de-pegging of an associated stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST).
Just eight days ago, LUNA was the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Up to that point, LUNA had already faced a more significant wave of selling pressure than most other major cryptocurrencies, falling 33% in the prior 30 days to that point. Any problem for LUNA is a problem for UST since the latter’s supply is generated by owners of LUNA redeeming, or “burning”, their coins. If 1 LUNA were equivalent to $65, burning it would therefore yield 65 UST, a theoretical equivalent to $65.
In the same way, 1 UST could be burned for $1 worth of LUNA. The catch here is that only $100 million worth of UST can be burned for LUNA per day.
How and why UST de-pegged from its equivalency with the Dollar is still a matter of debate, but once that $100 million cap was hit on a day of particularly high volatility, it could be that investors turned to selling their UST on exchange since they could no longer burn it for LUNA. UST’s value began to decline, falling lower than $0.70 by May 11 and essentially creating a double-sided devaluation for LUNA; not only had LUNA’s price fallen by more than a third, the Dollar value of UST was also down by 30%. As UST fell lower, burning LUNA would continue losing value, making it more profitable to sell than it would be to redeem it for UST. This vicious cycle has caused a more than 99% implosion in LUNA’s USD-denominated price, bringing it down to to less than a penny in recent days. A single unit of UST is now equivalent to just $0.13 and unlikely to recover its Dollar peg anytime soon.
The knock-on effect of this situation has shaken the entire cryptocurrency market and the fire sale of reserves from the LUNA Foundation Guard (LFG), a supposed “reserve” of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies set up by LUNA’s creator, Terraform Labs, has likely been an additional source of volatility. While UST is not an asset-backed stablecoin (a concept we will discuss in the next section of this report), LFG owned more than 80,000 BTC ($2.4 billion) and hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of other cryptocurrencies – most of which has now been sold off in a vain effort to defend the peg of UST.
Not All Stablecoins Are Created Equal
To explain why UST’s situation is so unique, it is important to first note that not all stablecoins are the same.
The two largest stablecoins, for instance, Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC), are asset-backed, meaning each token they issue is collateralized by cash or cash equivalent assets like treasury bills, commercial paper, etc. held in reserve by their issuing organizations. UST, meanwhile, is an “algorithmic stablecoin”, backed by another cryptocurrency and, therefore, governed by a smart contract.
As UST, LUNA, and other cryptos were crashing, USDT and USDC avoided any notable de-pegging events (aside from a short-lived drop in USDT to about $0.97) while handling abnormally massive volumes. CoinMarketCap data shows 24-hour volume on each spiked as high as $990 billion and $22 billion, respectively. No redemptions have ever been refused by either issuer.
As the largest stablecoin, Tether has faced particular scrutiny from commentators and regulators alike. However, the most high-profile claims against the token and its parent company, Bitfinex, have been…

Reading Time: 4 minutes
Introduction
The Indian online market is growing at a steady pace, thanks to the increase in the number of internet and mobile users in India. The e-commerce market size is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 21% per annum to reach USD 170 billion by the year 2030, as stated in a report published by the brokerage firm Jeffries. According to this report, online retail, which was 25% of the aggregate organized retail in India in the year 2019, would grow to 37% by 2030.
Pandemic and the Trends in Online Sales
Projections aside, the current pandemic has also boosted online sales as people refrain from stepping out of their homes. As online trade is booming, online merchants record increased turnover. Online platforms offer customers a plethora of online payment options to pay for their online transactions. While credit cards have been a convenient mode of payment for customers in the absence of ready cash, credit collection is still a bone of contention for merchants. Online merchants face varying levels of impediments when it comes to credit collection, which in turn impacts their business in one or more of the following ways.
This could be in the form of delays in receiving payments or the high charges associated with credit cards. Also, there is the possibility of online fraud which discourages customers from making online payments.
More than just Credit
But more than the ability to pay, it is also the convenience and the empowerment some platforms offer customers and merchants that are gaining ground. And with the festive season looking to give e-commerce the much-needed boost, it becomes all the more important for merchants to consider better, safer, and empowering payment options. Here’s a look at how Buy Now Pay Later is helping both the consumer and the merchant by easing the process and ensuring payments.
What is the BNPL system of payments?
The BNPL system can be likened to a traditional khata system wherein customers maintain a credit account with a merchant and then settle the dues at once. Under the BNPL system, customers are given the facility to consolidate their payments into one bill and then pay the aggregate bill once in 15 or 30 days. The BNPL system is much like a credit card but with enhanced ease of transactions and no hidden fee.
How BNPL is solving merchants’ collection problems?
Besides providing ease of payments to customers, the BNPL platform has made it cost-efficient for the merchants to avail of this service. Here are just some of the benefits of BNPL that tackle the credit collection problem faced by merchants:
• Quicker clearance of dues
Under the BNPL system, the aggregate dues of the merchants are settled once or twice a month, depending on the BNPL service they avail of. Since monthly settlements are done, merchants get access to funds earlier with the BNPL system than with credit cards where settlements might take 45-60 days. This is particularly favourable for MSME businesses where cash is a primary factor in keeping the business running smoothly.
• Better cash flow management
As merchants are assured of their settlements every month under the BNPL system, they can make their cash flow projections easily. They can track their accounts to find out the dues that they are owed. Moreover, merchants can expect the funds to be credited to their account within a specific date and then plan the expenses for which the funds would be needed. This is helpful and allows businesses to plan and meet their working capital requirements.
• Lower chances of online frauds
The BNPL platform is offered to customers who are creditworthy and prompt in making the payment for their online transactions. Customers are selected through complex algorithms which take into account behavioural and other parameters of the customer. If a customer is a preferred online shopper with a good track record of payment, he/she would be offered the BNPL facility. The spending limit is capped. These factors ensure that merchants do not face the problem of online frauds and payment defaults, making BNPL a preferred option for them.
• Increased customer affinity
BNPL offers customers a one-touch payment process wherein they don’t have to indulge in 2-Factor Authentication steps to make payments. This is particularly helpful when customers are indisposed to undertake the step-by-step payment process or if they are pressed for time or simply don’t want the hassle.
Since the BNPL system allows customers to pay later at a convenient time, customers tend to show increased loyalty towards merchants who offer them the benefit of one-touch BNPL payments. This increases customer affinity and helps merchants cash in on the increased customer base.
Conclusion
BNPL payment has been around for a few years now but there is still some work to be done around creating awareness. The importance of such a payment option was highlighted during the lockdown when customers realised the power of having access to unsecured loans of small amounts to meet their needs. This in turn allowed merchants to continue providing services without the worry of default or credit collection woes at a later date.
As the BNPL platform is developing, it is expected to change the game of payment collections for the merchant, making it simpler and safer. As digital payments become more accessible and affordable, the number of merchants adopting these modes is expected to grow, thereby, fostering competition and boosting the e-commerce industry further.

Four times the Argentinian found the net, twice from the spot, as he proved that he really can be a Ballon d'Or challenger this year - sending out a message to Neymar (who also scored four midweek) and the rest of the challengers.
It was not plain sailing for City, however, who closed the gap at the top of the table to two points on rivals Chelsea, at least until later in the afternoon.
Aguero's first strike came after just 12 minutes. With his back to goal, he worked himself the space to fire into the far corner, punishing Younes Kaboul for not marking him tighter.
But City and Spurs play out regular high-scoring fixtures - and the visitors were back in the game within minutes. Ryan Mason dispossessed Fernando in the centre of midfield, before Roberto Soldado played in Christian Eriksen to fire home.
The contest was non-stop and before you could blink, the lead was back with City. The first of four penalties in the match was dispatched by Aguero after Frank Lampard was adjudged to have been fouled, much to the disbelief of the Spurs defence.

A more clear-cut spot kick was awarded later in the first half, Kaboul lunged in on David Silva and this time there was no doubt. However, Aguero's effort was weak and he skied the rebound.
Referee Jon Moss equalled the record for the most penalties given in a Premier League match during the contest - a record set 14 years ago.
Manchester City - Premier League scorers
Tottenham got their chance from the spot 15 minutes into the second half, but Joe Hart got down low to stop Soldado's effort.
Federico Fazio dragged down Aguero, earning himself a red card, for the next pen. The Argentinian dynamo stepped up to complete his hat-trick, but he was not done there.
He still had time to fire across Hugo Lloris before the end to bag his and his team's fourth, with the help of a Hugo Lloris deflection.
Full-time analysis - David McDonnell:
Sergio Aguero warmed up for Manchester City's must-win Champions League game against CSKA Moscow in the Russian capital on Tuesday with a one-man demolition job on Spurs.
Aguero scored all four - and missed a penalty for good measure - as City closed to within two points of leaders Chelsea, for the time being at least.

Aguero's goals may have won it for City, but equally important was the performance of Joe Hart, who saved a penalty from Roberto Soldado with the score 2-1, then produced another save minutes later to deny the Spurs striker for a second time.
Aguero became City's all-time Premier League scorer with his quartet of goals taking him to 61, three more than fellow Argentine Carlos Tevez.

1. The cover story in this month’s issue of The Atlantic is making some waves, […]
David Zahl / 10.14.11
/
1
1. The cover story in this month’s issue of The Atlantic is making some waves, “All The Single Ladies,” in which writer Katie Bolick looks into how the recession is effecting the “marriage market.” Something of an unintentional follow-up to yesterday’s piece on Parenthood, Bolick maintains that the explosion of male joblessness and corresponding ascent of females in pretty much all areas of conventional achievement has made it considerably more difficult for young women to find an appropriate spouse. Again, I’m not positive this isn’t simply some fashionable angle right now, but to the extent that this has to do with the exertion of more ‘control’ or ‘authority,’ it should come as no surprise that love is being choked:
Now that we [women] can pursue our own status and security, and are therefore liberated from needing men the way we once did, we are free to like them more, or at least more idiosyncratically, which is how love ought to be, isn’t it?
…Then there are those women who choose to forgo men altogether. Sonia Sotomayor isn’t merely a powerful woman in a black robe—she’s also a stellar example of what it can mean to exercise authority over every single aspect of your personal life. When Gloria Steinem said, in the 1970s, “We’re becoming the men we wanted to marry,” I doubt even she realized the prescience of her words.
Amanda Marcotte on Slate gives some serious if not altogether convincing pushback, arguing that the ‘market’ model is entirely inappropriate when it comes to matters of the heart, that perhaps the “crisis” is revealing an unhelpful sexual paradigm that is scaring both parties off of the whole enterprise, i.e. Competition or Law, self-fulfillment rather than self-giving, etc:
I remain skeptical of the idea that the surge in numbers of single women has anything to do with women’s successes and/or men’s failures. Bolick interviews one genuine expert in her piece, historian Stephanie Coontz, but neglects to mention Coontz’s research showing that educated, successful women are more, not less, likely to be married and stay married. If you stop framing dating as some sort of competition between men and women and instead see it as a collaborative enterprise, another theory for the decline of marriage comes into view.
I have to say, all of the thoughtful articles I’ve read on this subject have been written by women – one wonders what the men think! Or is that part of the problem (that they’re not)?
2. BigThink reports on a new paper published by The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that claims, “Religion Only Helps Those With Hard Lives.” At first glance, it sounds like a redundancy to me! Meaning, who would classify their lives as ‘easy’? One is reminded of that unfortunate cliche about the task of preaching being to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable,” when, in experience/reality, everyone is afflicted. But certainly those that are more in touch with their ‘need,’ either material or spiritual, are more likely to embrace a Gospel which addresses needy people, ht JD:
[The study] analyzed self-reports from hundreds of thousands of people worldwide and found that there is indeed a connection between religious faith and happiness—but only in troubled societies… Foxhole conditions—fear, hunger, want, sickness—do indeed promote faith, write Ed Diener, Louis Tay and David G. Myers. If you’re poor or hungry, if you’re sick or if you feel unsafe at night, you’re more likely to be religious. More interestingly, though, they found that this relationship between circumstances and religion is truly a social phenomenon: In a poor and dangerous nation, even the privileged rich, who aren’t personally menaced, are more religious.
3. A gazillion Steve Jobs-related articles appeared this week, and I’ve had the good sense to reevaluate what I wrote earlier in response to Andy Crouch’s piece in the Wall Street Journal. To boil Jobs down to a techno-utopian prophet, at least primarily, is unfair and maybe even a tad silly. Scott Johnson’s comment is an important one: “Jobs’s legacy isn’t about reversing the Fall of Man, and it isn’t appropriate in this context to inflict the spectre of Pelagius upon people who are captivated by beauty.” Which isn’t to say he didn’t function as a savior figure to some (or that Apple users can be insufferably self-satisfied, or that technology doesn’t deliver what it promises), just that the primary emotional connection Jobs was able to build had more to do with introducing non-technophiles to a sense of wonder and beauty that they thought was unavailable to them. And there’s something truly gracious about that. Plus, the integrity that Bono highlights in his recent Q&A with Rolling Stone is not exactly an everyday trait:
Steve was a very, very tough and tenacious guardian of the Apple brand, but the thing that endeared him to artists was his insistence that things had to be beautiful. He wasn’t going to make ugly things that made profits.
The big lesson for capitalism is that Steve, deep down, did not believe the consumer was right. Deep down, he believed that he was right. And that the consumer would respect a strong aesthetic point of view, even if it wasn’t what they were asking for. He believed that deep down, if he served what was right and what was great, then he would serve the Apple shareholder, and if he chased what they wanted, he would let them down.
4. Man, does Vince Gilligan know how to put together a season finale or what?! What does it say that the best episode of every one of Breaking Bad’s four seasons is the finale? I have no idea, except that it’s very cool. The LA Times even argues that this past Sunday’s Dark Knight-referencing closer would function as a perfect series finale, ht CH. Spoiler alert:
Yes, [Walt’s] won. Yes, he never has to worry about Gus coming after him again (though Mike, still convalescing in Mexico, may prove another matter). But in the process, he’s hollowed himself out. By becoming the one who knocks, he’s also distanced himself from his family. He’s no longer able to be honest with his son, and his wife seems slightly terrified of him half of the time. He’s won in the sense that he’s finally become the one he wanted to be, but he’s lost in the sense that to do so he had to sacrifice almost everything that made the mild-mannered Walter of the pilot a good man.
Elsewhere in television, James Parker offers a thoughtful analysis of Modern Family in The Atlantic.
5. In music, Slate named The Strokes Is This It the best album of the past decade and they sort of have a point.
6. An amusing bit of social science reveals that Share Traders Are More Reckless Than Psychopaths, ht MB.
7. The conclusion of author Neal Stephenson’s lament about Innovation Starvation for the World Policy Institute is worth reprinting here, esp in its wise condemnation of the ‘illusion of certainty,’ which some of us might go so far as to call institutionalized ‘faithlessness,’ ht CR:
The illusion of eliminating uncertainty from corporate decision-making is not merely a question of management style or personal preference. …Today’s belief in ineluctable certainty is the true innovation-killer of our age. In this environment, the best an audacious manager can do is to develop small improvements to existing systems—climbing the hill, as it were, toward a local maximum, trimming fat, eking out the occasional tiny innovation—like city planners painting bicycle lanes on the streets as a gesture toward solving our energy problems. Any strategy that involves crossing a valley—accepting short-term losses to reach a higher hill in the distance—will soon be brought to a halt by the demands of a system that celebrates short-term gains and tolerates stagnation, but condemns anything else as failure. In short, a world where big stuff can never get done.

There was an article I read a while back (so I am roughly estimating the numbers) that looked at marriage in the African American community with regard to high rates of incarceration. The suggestion was that for every .1% increase in incarceration there was a nearly 2% drop in marriage rat that were lost.

Jul 3, 2012 | Submissions
In a submission to the Home Affairs Select Committee Inquiry into the operation of the IPCC, NetpolMonitoring (Netpol) is a network of organisations with an interest in monitoring or observing policing. This includes organisations based within a set community, such as the Newham Monitoring Project, and those that work directly with protest, such as the Green and Black Cross. Netpol acts as a focus for campaigns against aspects of policing that are viewed as excessive or oppressive.
This submission relates to the role of the IPCC in policing complaints emanating from protest and public order policing. The Newham Monitoring Project (NMP), a Netpol partner, has provided their own submission based on the client group NMP serves – people from Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic or Refugee (BAMER) backgrounds. Netpol would also adopt and support this submission.
The demographic of protest is remarkably varied. Over the last few years Netpol or its partners have provided observers and monitors to a large range of protest and public order policed events, including community based demonstrations and football matches. We therefore feel that the feedback we receive is indicative of the views of a significant section of society.
Across this demographic confidence in the police complaints system is very low. The perception that ‘there is no point’ in making a complaint is commonly held. There is also significant anxiety that making a complaint will result in increased police attention, surveillance or harassment.
The great majority of complaints are dealt with, in the first instance, by the professional standards department of the relevant force. For most complainants, therefore, the overall experience is not one of interaction with an independent body. They must deal directly with the very force they are registering their complaint against.
Protesters who wish to make a complaint regarding police conduct are frequently obliged to do so without legal representation as the number of lawyers experienced in this area of law is very small and those able to provide legal aid even smaller. This is a particular problem outside London. Complainants are at a great disadvantage and some vulnerability given the disproportionate resources, knowledge and influence the police possess. The police are known to apply pressure on individuals not to pursue a complaint, or to pursue it through the local resolution process in circumstances which are inappropriate. The local resolution process cannot result in disciplinary action beyond ‘words of advice.’
Professional standards departments carrying out investigations commonly request complainants to participate in an interview, either in their homes or at a police station. Complainants may feel uncomfortable and intimidated by this process, and have reported being treated in a brusque, aggressive or accusative manner by investigating officers. This is obviously of greater concern when a complainant does not have legal representation.
The function of the IPCC in carrying out appeals is fundamentally flawed. The appeals system is complex and not easily understood by the general public. It is not widely known that the role of the IPCC is only to review the investigation in to the complaint and not to re-investigate the complaint. This ultimately means that the IPCC will often simply review whether the proper steps have been taken by the investigator in terms of gathering evidence and taking statements, and not whether the conclusions drawn are the logical outcome of the evidence. There is therefore an over-reliance on the original findings and insufficient probing of the factual or legal matters. This means that, especially in the case of those who do not have legal representation, the process becomes ineffective and difficult with an unsatisfactory outcome. The overall feeling is that it was not worth engaging with the process in the first place as the IPCC is not an independent mediator.
Further, the narrow remit of the IPCC means that there is little scope for making complaints about police behaviour at political protest. Most complaints relating to the misuse of police powers or the excessive use of force are classified as ‘direction and control complaints’, and thus fall outside of the remit of the IPCC.
There is insufficient clarity regarding procedures for making direction and control complaints. The IPCC simply advises complainants to make a complaint directly to the police force concerned; with recourse to the police commissioner or Chief Constable if that is unsatisfied with the outcome. Netpol’s experience of submitting direction and control complaints is not a happy one. Complaints made to the Metropolitan Police in February have not been responded to or even acknowledged.
It is not always easy for a member of the public to differentiate between a complaint within the remit of the IPCC, and a direction and control complaint, particularly in the context of a public order situation. This can lead to a feeling that a person is being ‘sent around the houses’ when trying to raise issues of importance in the conduct of policing.
In resolution:
There is a need to establish a single point of contact for all policing complaints, including direction and control complaints, and a transparent, easily understood structure for the resolution of all complaints. The distinction between a misconduct complaint and a direction and control complaint is not always easy to define, particularly for a member of the public. All complainants should have the right to know that their complaint will be taken seriously and properly investigated, and there should be absolute clarity in procedure.
The public is unlikely to have confidence in any complaints system which places so much emphasis on internal investigation by police officers. For confidence to increase there needs to be a body which is demonstrably independent from any police force, and which has sufficient powers, resources and will to robustly investigate police misconduct.
More should be done to provide independent support and advice to unrepresented complainants at all stages of the complaints procedure, and to redress the imbalance of power between police and complainant. The use of informal or local resolution systems should be independently monitored to ensure that it is not used inappropriately in relation to conduct that would justify criminal or disciplinary proceedings.
Consideration should be given as to whether the sanctions applied to police officers as a result of disciplinary hearings are appropriate and sufficient, and a review should be carried out to find the causes of the low level of successful misconduct proceedings.

There is all sorts of anecdotal evidence both ways but if you want to be sure, keep up what you're doing just to be safe. Me, I carry a couple of zip-locks. I agree with your opinion in the matter.

I have always practiced/thought the same as you....don't pee where you plan to hunt.
But recently I've read quite a bit about many who actually use this tactic as an attractant. (I assume during the middle of the main rut) Many clai that the testosterone in your own urine could actually attract rutting bucks to check out who's in their living room. I've even heard that many many mock scrapes with their own urine.
I've never done/tried any of these ideas....but I can see where it may be possible during the right time of year when big bucks are after anything that smells like it might be a threat to their rutting territory?
Just another angle I've seen discussed multiple times.

I doubt any bucks urine smells like mine. With all the meds, the stout coffee, the onion and garlic from the stir fry from the night before. If the smell is offensive to my nose I imagine it's ten fold for a whitetails. I always carry a bottle with me, better safe than sorry.

I will weigh in with my opinion here, of course deer can smell human urine, but I do not think that they associate it with danger. I myself do not use scents or scent blocking products. I do hunt the wind, by which I mean I set up downwind from the area I expect the deer to be coming from. I have hunted this way for many years and have always had good success.

I don't think they can distinguish between deer and human urine. I have let it fly many times and had deer walk right by within a short period of time and they were not alarmed. I will say though that I have never had a trophy buck walk by after wards so who knows maybe them wise old bucks do know.

They couldn't bee more wrong because deer are always trying to escape any danger so when they smeel the urine the link it to danger an usualy you won;t see that deer in that area again.

What I tend to do is, keep like a big bottle with me and tie it to my tree stand. But if I forget I always walk a little ways from my stand. The deer may not be able to distinguish between human and deer but, sometimes the smell can be potent. Weather they can or cant I'd rather no take the chance.

2 The benefits of EPA and DHA are well established An abundance of evidence shows that increased intake of the long chain omees. EPA and DHA occur naturally in some fish species, as well as other marine organisms such as algae. However, most Americans eat very little fish and are deficient in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids 1. In response, health care professionals are increasingly recommending purified fish oil as a dietary supplement. These recommendations have driven the sales of fish oil supplements from $35 million in 1995 to approximately $310 million in In 2006 alone, more than 200 new products enriched with omega-3 fatty acids were introduced to the market 3. The majority of food products being introduced onto the market are actually enriched with plant-derived omega-3s, which are rich in alphalinolenic acid (ALA). Scientific evidence strongly suggests that these omega-3s from plant sources do not have the same beneficial effects as marine-derived EPA and DHA 4,5. The U.S. has been slow to adopt a recommended daily allowance for EPA and DHA. However, nutrition experts from around the world have reached a consensus that adults benefit from consuming a minimum of 500 mg of combined EPA and DHA daily 6. In addition, the American Heart Association recommends that individuals at defined risk for cardiovascular disease consume 1 g/day, and those with elevated triglycerides 2 4 g/day 7. It is difficult for most individuals to maintain adequate levels of EPA and DHA intake from fish consumption alone. What s more, contamination of the ocean environment has made obtaining optimal levels of omega-3 fats by eating fish a potential health hazard. In fact, the FDA and the EPA have both warned the public of the potential dangers of consuming too much fish because of the associated toxins. Fish oil supplements may well be the healthier choice; studies have compared levels of mercury and organochlorines in fish versus purified fish oil supplements and concluded that the fish oil provides the benefits of EPA and DHA without the risk of toxicity 8,9. For all of these reasons, fish oil supplements have become a vital part of nutritional and preventive medicine. And while there are hundreds of fish oil supplements available today, few consumers know that there are two distinctly different molecular forms of fish oil supplements on the market: one containing synthetic ethyl esters and the other containing natural triglycerides. More importantly, do these divergent delivery forms of EPA and DHA produce a meaningful difference in the availability of omega-3s to the body? What are Triglycerides and Ethyl Esters? The omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, occur naturally in fish in the triglyceride form. A triglyceride consists of a three-carbon [tri-] glycerol backbone with each carbon linked to a fatty acid. Thus, each triglyceride molecule contains three fatty acids. In non-concentrated fish oil, approximately 20 30% of the fatty acids are EPA and DHA. Conversely, a highly purified fish oil concentrate can contain from 60 85% EPA and DHA. In making a fish oil concentrate, the individual fatty acids are first removed form the glycerol backbone by simple hydrolysis. After the fatty acids have been hydrolyzed from the glycerol backbone, they undergo molecular distillation, which allows for the relative concentrations of EPA, DHA, and other naturally occurring fatty acids to be modified. (Note: Free fatty acid forms of EPA and DHA have a very reactive free-electron in their structure and are highly unstable. For this reason, free fatty acid EPA and DHA are not used for human consumption because they are rapidly degraded via auto-oxidation.) Once the desired amounts of fatty acids are achieved, a manufacturer chooses from two distinctly different options. The first is to use enzymes to reattach the fatty acids to the glycerol backbone in a process known as reesterification. This process reassembles the fatty acids into the natural triglyceride structure. The second, less costly manufacturing option is to react the free fatty acids with ethanol (CH3CH2OH). This results in an ethyl-ester fatty acid, a fatty acid that does not occur naturally anywhere in the human diet 10. Ethyl ester fatty acids are new-to-nature molecules that have the active EPA and DHA attached to an ethyl molecule via an ester linkage. The human body must remove the ethyl group and convert the fatty acids back into a triglyceride molecule during absorption and before being utilized 11. The majority of concentrated EPA and DHA products available to consumers today are in the ethyl ester form, perhaps due to this lower cost of production. The effects of ethyl-ester EPA and DHA formulas compared to triglyceride EPA and DHA formulas are only beginning to be investigated; thus, it is difficult to establish conclusively their relative bioavailability and activity in the body. Indeed, a search of the current published research on omega-3s does not reveal consensus in the scientific community on this issue. However, it has been established that several distinct differences exist with regard to how the body handles ethyl ester versus triglyceride EPA and DHA. During normal fat digestion, pancreatic lipase acts on (hydrolyzes) a non-polar triglyceride to remove the fatty acids, resulting in two free fatty acids and a monoglyceride. After hydrolysis, the two fatty acids and monoglyceride become polar molecules (they carry an electric charge), which allows for them to be easily absorbed. For ethyl esters to be absorbed, the added ethyl molecule (CH2CH3) must be cleaved, presumably by pancreatic lipase, away from the original fatty acid. It has been shown that pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes fish oil ethyl esters 10 to 50 times more slowly than it does corresponding fish oil triglycerides 12. The notion that ethyl ester fish oils are absorbed as well as triglycerides is in apparent contrast to the low rate of hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase.
3 In fact, preliminary studies have shown that ethyl ester fish oils are not absorbed in their manufactured synthetic form. Studies of both humans and animals have found that ethyl ester EPA and DHA do not appear in the blood of animals or humans, even after intake of a large amount (30 g) as a single dose in humans Another challenge to the absorption of EPA and DHA when supplemented as ethyl esters (instead of natural triglycerides) occurs after hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase. Researchers interested in the mechanism underlying the possible impaired absorption found in studies that have compared ethyl ester EPA and DHA to triglyceride EPA and DHA in humans 16,17 have concluded that the slower rate of hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase is a contributing factor; however, another factor that could further impair absorption is the lack of the 2 monoacylsn-glycerols backbones from the natural triglyceride structure that is necessary for triglyceride resynthesis within enterocytes. Indeed absorption is considerably increased when ethyl esters were accompanied by additional dietary fat, which provides the necessary triglyceride backbones for resynthesis 11. Clinical studies on bioavailability and other comparative issues Six human trials have compared the absorption of ethyl ester (EE) and triglyceride (TG) fish oil supplements. Of the six studies, four concluded that the natural triglyceride form absorbs better, and the other two studies did not find a significant difference in absorption. Lawson, et al 16 compared the relative absorption of TG, EE, and free fatty acids EPA and DHA in humans. Subjects were given 1 g EPA and 0.67 g DHA as a single dose. As free fatty acids, the EPA and DHA were absorbed at > 95%; as triglycerides, EPA was absorbed at 68% and DHA at 57%; as ethyl esters, EPA was absorbed 20% and DHA at 21%. When the authors repeated the study 17 with coingestion with a high fat meal (approx 40 g fat), the absorption of EPA (but not DHA) from the TG form improved from 68% to 90%. The ethyl ester form of both EPA and DHA improved from 20% to about 60%, which was still below absorption of the TG form before the addition of a high fat meal. El Boustani, et al 18 investigated the kinetics of 1 g of EPA and the incorporation into plasma triglycerides after ingestion of four chemical forms: ethyl ester, free fatty acid, arginine salt, and triglyceride. When administered as ethyl ester, the EPA in plasma triglycerides was about three times less than in the other three forms and occurred three hours later. In all of the subjects studied, EPA incorporation was much greater after ingestion of the TG form than the EE form. Beckermann, et al 19 also investigated the comparative bioavailability of EPA and DHA from triglycerides, ethyl esters, and free fatty acids in a randomized triple crossover design. EPA/DHA was administered in capsules as triglycerides (1.68/0.72 g), free fatty acids (1.35/1.065 g), and ethyl esters (1.86/1.27 g). The mean bioavailability of EPA/DHA was highest in the free fatty acid form while the mean bioavailability of ethyl ester EPA/DHA was only 40 48% compared to the triglyceride form. Maximal plasma levels were about 50% lower for ethyl esters when compared to triglycerides (free fatty acids were 50% higher than triglycerides.) In this study the tolerability of free fatty acids was much worse than that of triglycerides or ethyl esters because of fishy eructations (burps). This is consistent with the highly oxidizable nature of free fatty acids, and their tendency to become rancid quickly. In a related study, Visioli, et al 20 compared dietary fish, which contains only the natural triglyceride form EPA and DHA, to an equivalent dose of EPA and DHA as EE. Their data compared six weeks of eating 100 g/day of salmon, providing 383 mg EPA and 544 mg DHA, to capsules that contained 450 mg EPA and 318 mg DHA as ethyl esters. Plasma omega-3 concentration after salmon intake was found to be significantly higher when compared to ingestion of EE capsules. Hong, et al 21 addressed a different question in their comparison study. Do these different omega-3 molecular packages have the same biological activity? The Hong group compared EE EPA and DHA to TG EPA and DHA on hepatic fatty acid oxidation in rats. Hepatic fatty acid oxidation is one of the mechanisms by which omega-3 fats improve lipid metabolism. The Hong study demonstrated that diets containing EPA and DHA ethyl esters do not mimic the physiological activity of a fish oil diet containing equivalent amounts of EPA and DHA as triglycerides in affecting hepatic acid fatty acid oxidation in rats. While not conclusive, this study suggests that the physiological activity of omega-3 fats may depend on their specific lipid structure. Two early, small trials concluded that DHA and EPA from ethyl esters are equally well absorbed when compared to triglycerides. Nordoy, et al 22 compared the serum levels of EPA and DHA in five subjects after a single test meal of 27 g of EPA and DHA as 1) triglycerides, 2) ethyl esters, and 3) ethyl ester + 12 g olive oil. The subjects were given a 1 2 week wash out period between test meals to avoid carry over effect. No significant differences were observed in the serum EPA and DHA increases after the three different fish oil-containing meals. This study suggests that both ethyl esters of fish oil and triglycerides of fish oil were equally well absorbed when given in a liquid test meal containing 27 g of EPA and DHA. The Nordoy team suggested that the differences between their findings and those of the Lawson and El Boustani groups is that higher amounts of fat and higher concentrations of EPA and DHA were used, which may have overcome the differences in the rate of pancreatic lipase activity on divergent molecular forms. Similar to the findings of Lawson, et al, the increase in plasma triglyceride concentration after intake of ethyl ester was highest when the meal was supplemented with 12 g of olive oil. The researchers concluded that the practical implications of their data is that there need be no concern about the absorbability of EPA and DHA from fish oil, either as ethyl ester or as triglyceride. However this may only apply to mega doses of EPA and DHA, similar to what was used in the trial.
4 Krokan, et al 23 administered similar amounts of EPA and DHA as ethyl esters and triglycerides in 40 healthy volunteers twice daily for 14 days. Volunteers were divided into five groups of eight volunteers, and received a daily dose of 1) 3.4 g ethyl esters, 2) 6.8 g ethyl esters, 3) 11.9 g ethyl esters, 4) 3.6 g triglycerides, 5) 7.3 g triglyceride. The investigators recorded multiple serum values, including EPA and DHA in total serum lipids and in serum phospholipids, EPA/AA ratio, linoleic acid, saturated fatty acids, triglyceride levels, and cholesterol levels in each volunteer. The researchers also examined in vitro activity of porcine pancreatic lipase for the two different forms of omega-3 fats. The rate of in vitro hydrolysis of the ethyl ester form of EPA and DHA was found to be significantly slower than the natural triglyceride form. However, Krokan, et al reported that in spite of differences in the rate of hydrolysis in vitro, equivalent doses of EPA/DHA in the form of ethyl ester or triglyceride give similar increases in plasma levels of EPA/DHA. It is noteworthy that the lead author of this study is also one of the inventors of US Patent # that pertains to the ethyl ester form of fish oil used in this trial (Ethyl Ester K85, Norsk Hydro) 24. Stability of Ethyl Esters vs. Triglycerides The therapeutic action and safety of fish oil is in part related to its molecular stability and resistance to oxidative damage. Fish oil that has been subject to oxidative damage may do more harm to the body than good 25. EPA and DHA are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which means they contain several double bonds within their carbon-hydrogen chain. In each location of a double bond, there is vulnerability for free radical attack, which results in an oxidized and rancid oil. The potential negative health effects of consuming rancid fish oils have not been fully elucidated. However, it has been shown that oxidized byproducts of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including DHA, are elevated in patients with neurodegenerative conditions 26. The triglyceride structure is the natural resting state for lipid molecules. The inherent structure of three fatty acids attached to one glycerol backbone provides protection to the double bonds in the long-chain PUFAs from being exposed to free radicals. An ethyl ester fatty acid, on the other hand, exists as a single strand, and is exposed on all sides to free radicals. Although there is little data that directly compares the stability of EE fish oils to TG fish oils, such basic biochemistry suggests the superior stability of TG fish oils both inside a capsule or liquid as well as within the body. Resistance to oxidative damage is a critical quality of a fish oil supplement. Comparing the stability of EE and TG fish oil in vitro and in vivo is an important issue that warrants further investigation. Conclusion Although the majority of fish oil products on the market contain the ethyl ester form of EPA and DHA, current research evidence points toward the triglyceride form for better absorption and assimilation. In addition, some proponents of EE fish oils declare that highly concentrated ethyl ester fish oils reduce the total intake of calories of fat that may be associated with consuming less concentrated natural triglyceride oils. This opinion does not take into account the studies that indicate that coingestion with a high fat meal is necessary to achieve reasonable absorption of ethyl ester form omega-3s. The therapeutic value of EPA and DHA is based on several large-scale epidemiological studies that demonstrated that fish-consuming populations have a low incidence of cardiovascular disease All of the data from these large epidemiological studies are based on natural triglyceride fish oils. Conversely, several large-scale prevention studies, such as the GISSI-Prevenzione trial, have been successful using EE form EPA and DHA 33. A global increase in the consumption of EPA and DHA has been proposed as a potential intervention to improve public health worldwide. In addition, health care practitioners are advising the use of EPA and DHA for a variety of conditions. Most consumers and health care professionals are unaware that there are two different delivery forms of these valuable nutrients. It is fair to say that the scarcity of data concerning the relative bioavailability of ethyl ester and triglyceride forms of EPA and DHA does not allow for definitive conclusions, and more research is warranted. In addition, the issues of in vitro and in vivo stability of EE form fish oils as well as the possibility that the EE form cannot mimic the physiological activity of triglyceride form are of paramount importance to explore. Evaluating these issues before relying on a synthetic form of EPA and DHA merely seems prudent. Ethyl Esters n Do not occur naturally in the human diet n Hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase x slower n May not mimic the physiologic activity of triglycerides n Less expensive to produce n Less molecularly stable Triglycerides n Natural form of dietary lipids n Faster hydrolysis by pancreatic lipase n Human digestion designed to absorb triglyceride form n More expensive to produce n More molecularly stable
5 The Physiology of Lipid Digestion Approximately 98% of dietary lipids are triglycerides; the remainder consists of phospholipids, sterols, and fatsoluble vitamins. Because triglycerides are non-polar and insoluble in an aqueous environment, they require unique steps for proper absorption and assimilation. The first step of lipid digestion occurs in the small intestine where fats are broken down physically, and held in suspension. Bile is secreted in the small intestine to break lipid aggregates into smaller particles, a process called emulsification. Within the lumen of the small intestine, a triglyceride molecule must be enzymatically digested by pancreatic lipase to yield a monoglyceride and two fatty acids. The resulting monoglyceride and fatty acids are polar (carry an ionic charge) and can efficiently diffuse into the enterocyte. Enterocytes are cells that act as a barrier between the contents of the intestine and the blood stream. The major products of lipid digestion, fatty acids and 2-monoglycerides, enter the enterocyte by simple diffusion across the cell membrane. Once inside the enterocyte, fatty acids and 2-monoglycerides are transported into the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are used to resynthesize a triglyeride. The newly formed triglyceride is packaged with cholesterol, lipoproteins, and other lipids into particles called chylomicrons. This all occurs within the absorptive enterocyte of the small intestine. Chylomicrons are transported first into the lymphatic vessel; then chylomicronrich lymph drains through the lymphatic system, which rapidly flows into the blood. Both TG and EE fatty acids must be reassembled into the TG form within the enterocyte for absorption. Some experts have postulated that the lack of glycerol backbone is the major obstacle to efficient absorption of EE form EPA and DHA. The EE form lacks the glycerol backbone needed to reassemble the TG structure. Therefore, the EE fatty acids that are hydrolyzed must find a glycerol backbone from another fatty acid donor. This would explain the noted improvement of EE absorption observed by Lawson, et al (see Comparison studies ) when coingested with a high fat meal.

An American actor and director, Bradley Charless in the past four years.
A guest part on Sex and the City in 1999 launched Cooper’s acting career, which led to an MFA at the Actors Studio in 2000. When Wet Hot American Summer (2001) was released, he was cast as Will Tippin in the spy thriller Alias (2001–2006).
Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were romantically linked at some point
With Lady Gaga starring in the Bradley Cooper-directed film “A Star Is Born” in 2018, the film generated a lot of buzzes. People began speculating about the actor’s and ers Jackson and Ally Maine fall in love in the movie. When they performed “Shallow” at the Oscars in 2019, things fell apart among theiwas at the moment because Bradley was accompanying her.

Even after Irina Shayk decided to leave Bradley, Bradley and Gaga continued to deny their connection, fueling the suspicions even further. But it wasn’t until late in the year 2021 that the actor decided to speak up, even though many years had gone.
When asked about their ‘Shallow’ performance, Bradley Cooper told The Hollywood Reporter that he didn’t date Lady Gaga and it was all just for show. “Just from a personal standpoint, it lessens the level of anxiety,” Bradley stated.
That sequence in the movie has them falling for each other in a romantic way. It’s that explosive moment on stage in front of a crowd of tens of thousands…. If we’d been both on stools facing the audience, it’d have been so bizarre.”
Gaga herself has admitted that their on-screen chemistry was all staged
Fans of this pairing will be disappointed to learn that Gaga herself has admitted that she and Bradley Cooper’s on-screen chemistry was all staged. According to Elle in November 2019, “Of course we wanted people to believe we were in love.” “For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course,” she said. “And we wanted the Oscars to be a place where people could feel that love. We wanted it to pass through the lens of that camera and be seen on every television in the house.

About Lady Gaga
“Lady Gaga” is the stage name of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, a singer, songwriter, and actress from New York City, who is best known as Lady Gaga. She is noted for her ability to change her appearance and her musical range. When Gaga was a teen, she began performing on open mic nights and in school plays. She attended Collaborative Arts Project 21 via Tisch School of the Arts at New York University before dropping college to pursue a career in music.
A year after her contract with the label was terminated by Def Jam Recordings, she inked a deal with Interscope Records and Akon’s record label, KonLive Distribution, to create and produce music. ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Poker Face,’ two of the album’s best songs, catapulted Gaga to fame the following year. An additional EP, called The Fame Monster (2009), was then included in the album’s release, which included “Bad Romance,” “Telephone,” and “Alejandro.”

Hello!
I’veseparated onto 3 different locations. Two locations have each 2 nodes and the third location contains the fifth node. I’ve configured manual PVs and a StorageClass. I’ve configured the StatefulSet of haproxy and pxc to have each 5 pods deployed. I did that in cr.yaml. My frontend application can connect to the PXC Cluster and everything works fine. I can kill single pods and my frontend application still works. The deleted pod comes back up and joins back into the cluster. Great.
I want to test further realistic HA failure scenarios. Eg. all physical sites loose power thus the whole k8s cluster is now gone. Power gets reestablished, but only on two sites. The third site has an electrical fault which can’t be fixed easily.
When I now kill all PXC pods to simulate this unplanned downtime of the whole cluster with k delete pod cluster1-pxc-{0..4} following happens:
all cluster1-pxc pods get terminated (as expected)
the readiness probes of all the cluster1-haproxy pods changes from 2/2 to 1/2 due to the unavailability of the PXC cluster (as expected)
the cluster1-pxc pods gets started one after another starting with pod suffix zero (as expected)
…but here comes the problem! The critical issue is that unless ALL (meaning 5/5) PXC pods are up an running again, the haproxy cluster won’t be allowing connections to the PXC cluster. In my scenario explained above one site doesn’t have electricity for now. So I am stuck with 3/5 ready PXC pods and 1/2 ready state of the haproxy pods and my frontend application is no longer working, even tho the PXC cluster is formed.
How do I tell haproxy to allow connections as soon as a quorum is reached in the PXC cluster?
Thank you for your input.
P.S.: Interestingly when deploying the cr.yaml the first time ha-proxy starts serve connections as soon as PXC quorum is reached.
I also tried to play with the PodDisruptionBuget but alass no improvement on that front either.

Hey @hamster ,
this is a good question and use case. We will research the ways how to fix it.
I have raised the bug here: [K8SPXC-953] HAProxy does not serve traffic unless all PXC Pods are up and running - Percona JIRA

Post category:Press Release
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 25, 2020) – Phad into a definitive agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) pursuant to which Pharmadrug will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of privately-held Interrobang Ltd. (doing business as Super Smart). (“Super Smart”), to be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation between Pharmadrug, Super Smart and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharmadrug (the “Proposed Transaction”). Following completion of the Proposed Transaction Super Smart will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pharmadrug. It is anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will be completed in early June, 2020.
Super Smart
As noted in the Company’s press release dated May 20, 2020, Super Smart is an early-stage retail company focused on consolidating the fragmented Dutch smartshop market. Smartshops are retail establishments in The Netherlands that specialize in the sale of psychoactive substances including psychedelic truffles, which are an underground grown version of magic mushrooms that have psilocybin and are legal in The Netherlands. Super Smart will seek to acquire smartshops and deploy disciplined business expertise, retail best practices and consistent branding across multiple locations to capture in market share and improve margins in this rapidly growing segment. Super Smart’s management team is well suited to pursue the smartshop consolidation strategy and brings a proven track record in retail, marketing, brand building, web sales and customer education.
The Company views the Proposed Transaction as a complementary acquisition of a proposed business which the Company anticipates will be synergistic with Pharmadrug’s existing European cannabis distributions business. The Company currently operates as a Medical Cannabis distributor in Europe and views psychedelics as part of the emerging natural based medicine trend. The Company is fully committed to its business in Germany and considers it to be the hub of its business activities in Europe. As mentioned in the press release dated April 24, 2020, the Company’s German operations are seeing volume growth and the Company expects volumes to continue to grow with plans to introduce medical cannabis under its own brand in the next 3 to 6 months. The acquisition of smartshops in The Netherlands is seen as a move towards vertical integration of its existing cannabis business insofar as smartshops act as retail outlets for cannabis products such as CBD products and cannabis paraphernalia. Furthermore, the Company believes the acquisition provides an opportunity to expand its existing operations into the psychedelics space as permitted by law. Management believes the Proposed Transaction is also a platform to potentially acquire synergistic assets.
At the time of the Proposed Transaction, the Company expects Super Smart’s assets will consist of a brand and strategy to acquire smartshops in The Netherlands and approximately CAD $2.6 million of cash with liabilities of CAD $2.5 million in outstanding convertible debentures that will be amalgamated into Pharmadrug’s capital structure as per terms discussed below.
Terms of Acquisition Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Super Smart (a “Super Smart Share”) will be exchanged for one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Pharmadrug Share”). It is expected that at the time of the closing of the Proposed Transaction, Super Smart will have 44,000,000 Super Smart Shares issued and outstanding together with $2,500,000 principal amount of senior secured convertible debentures (the “Super Smart Debentures”), 33,000,000 common share purchase warrants (“Placement Warrants”) and 3,478,400 finder options (the “Finder Options”).
The Super Smart Debentures shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum from the date of issue and payable monthly in cash and shall rank pari passu with one another and senior to all other indebtedness. The Super Smart Debentures shall mature on the date (the “Maturity Date”) which is three (3) years from their issuance (which is anticipated to be on or about closing of the Proposed Transaction). Super Smart will have a right to prepay or redeem a part or the entire principal amount of the Super Smart Debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid interest at any time by providing written notice of the date (the “Redemption Date”) for such redemption to the holder at least a minimum of 30 days and a maximum 60 days’ prior to the Redemption Date. Each Super Smart Debenture will be convertible into units (each, a “Unit”) at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of the third business day prior to the earlier of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the Redemption Date at a price of $0.05 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one Super Smart Share and one-half of one Super Smart Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Super Smart Share at an exercise price of $0.05 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance of the Super Smart Debentures. In the event that the Super Smart Shares have a closing price on such exchange on which the Super Smart Shares may be traded at such time of greater than per Smart Debentures to be converted into Units. Each Super Smart Debenture will, following completion of the Proposed Transaction, entitle the holder thereof to acquire equivalent securities of Pharmadrug in place of the securities of Super Smart on conversion of such debenture.
In addition to the outstanding Super Smart Shares and Super Smart Debentures, Super Smart will also have outstanding prior to closing (i) 3,478,400 Finder Options which will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Unit at a price of $0.05 and (ii) 33,000,000 Placement Warrants issued in connection witefore the third anniversary of the closing of the Proposed Transaction. Each Finder Option and Placement Warrant will, following completion of the Proposed Transaction, entitle the holder thereof to acquire equivalent securities of Pharmadrug in place of the securities of Super Smart.
Following completion of the Proposed Transaction the security holders of Super Smart and the Company immediately preceding the Proposed Transaction will hold approximately 47% and 53%, respectively, of the fully diluted share capital of the Company.
It is expected that all Pharmadrug Shares (including Pharmadrug Shares issued upon conversion of Super Smart Debentures and the exercise of Super Smart Warrants and the Finder Options) issued pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, except those issued to U.S. typical for a transaction of this nature. The Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of all applicable shareholder and regulatory approvals, the final approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the conditions described below.
A copy of the Acquisition Agreement will be filed by Pharmadrug with the Canadian securities regulators and will be available for viewing on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at A description of the Acquisition Agreement will also be set forth in P material change report to be filed on SEDAR.
Conditions to the Proposed Transaction
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent including, among other things:
the receipt of all required approvals by the respective boards of directors of Pharmadrug and Super Smart;
the receipt of approval of the Proposed Transaction by shareholders of Super Smart;
the receipt of all required consents, approvals and authorizations of any regulatory authorities, including, without limitation, the Canadian Securities Exchange;
each of the parties shall have complied with each of its obligations, covenants and agreements in the Acquisition Agreement;
there shall be no material adverse effect with respect to either of Pharmadrug or Super Smart;
the receipt of all required consents and approvals of third parties.
Management and Board of Directors
The Company does not anticipate reconstituting its Board of Directors in connection with the Proposed Transaction. Daniel Cohen will remain as Chairman and CEO and Keith Li will continue in his role at CFO. Together, they will continue to oversee general corporate activity, the running of Pharmadrug GmbH in Germany as well as the integration of Super Smart into the combined corporate strategy. Howard Brass has resigned as COO of Pharmadrug effective immediately to pursue other ventures. We thank him for his past contribution to Pharmadrug and wish him well with all his future endeavours.
It is expected that current members of the Super Smart management team will join the Company and occupy roles as senior business unit managers. Most notably, Harry Resin who is the current CEO of Super Smart will join and continue to run the Super Smart division within Pharmadrug. We believe Mr. Resin is uniquely positioned to run the Super Smart strategy. As a founding member of an original Amsterdam seed company, Mr. Resin dealt extensively with and provided consulting work to Amsterdam’s smartshop industry. He has a deep established network and a fundamental understanding of the smartshop business model. Mr. Resin has also served as a staff writer for High Times and also wrote for numerous cannabis publications including Cannabis Now, Skunk and a Medical Cannabis Journal.
Further Information
Although the parties have entered into a definitive Acquisition Agreement in connection with the Proposed Transaction, completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions as set forth herein. If such conditions are not satisfied it is possible that the Proposed Transaction will not be completed on the terms set forth herein or at all.

skin Cof LGTBI activists have gathered to recreate the EL PAÍS cover photo at the time, in which representatives of the group, including the late Pedro Zerolo, celebrated the approval of the measure that made Spain the third country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage . Among those in attendance was Beatriz Gimeno, a rights activist for the LGTBI collective and now a United We Can MP in the Madrid Assembly, who championed the law 17 years ago as President of the National Association of Lesbian, Gay, Trans and Bisexual People (FELGTBo have joined the fight,” he said. “Especially at a time when the fight must go on. It’s not like everything has been achieved as we might have thought a few years ago,” he added.
In the Congress Chamber, the photographer Uly Martín is preparing to repeat the photo he took 17 years ago. Cell phone in hand, he compares the old photo with the scene in front of him. It takes a few minutes to remember the exact place where those present were then (since 2005 the room has been renovated and everything is not the same as before). Martín guides her with his hand to line up the shot: first a little to the left. Then a little to the right. Suddenly, applause erupted from the ranks. Everyone present joined in the celebration. Martín captures the moment, thus returning to April 22, 2005 in Congress on June 28, 2022. At least for five minutes. You feel the joy felt in that moment and the nostalgia for the years that have passed since then. The law noted the absence of Pedro Zerolo, considered one of the main advocates of extending the right to marriage and adoption by homosexual couples in Spain. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2015. A hole was actually left for him in the photo.
For Blue Rodríguez, a 22-year-old non-binary and spokesperson for FELGTB Trans Group, it was a “very exciting” moment. He recorded it and uploaded it to his Instagram Story with a caption that reads, “Repeat historic moments.” For Blue, the generations of activists who have preceded him have marked “a roadmap” for his generations and generations to come. “It’s important to be very aware as a young person of what we’ve achieved because it serves as a precedent to know what we can achieve and what we don’t have yet, which would be trans lawthat is within our reach,” he said. “But also think about the laws that are yet to come, because we believe that everything will be settled when we get the transgender law, but there are still a lot of very invisible groups,” he added.
Blue’s real name is Aaron, but for the past few months he’s preferred to be called Blue because he doesn’t have to specify “pronouns” that way. “With Blue, I can just be myself,” he explained. Although she was born in 2000, before same-sex marriage was enacted, she grew up with the right to marry whoever she wants. And being raised and educated with this guarantee has made him aware of all the rights the LGTBI community has yet to conquer. “It’s important that people who were there 17 years ago give us the space to be there now,” he said. “I think it’s very beautiful that in this praise for this historic moment they give way to the youth fighting for new historic moments.”

Both Blue and Gimeno agree that Tuesday’s act represented the fact that there is a generational shift in this fight. “We young people are here and we want to learn from people who have been fighting for a long time. They inspire us and help us see that there are other rights that can be achieved,” said Blue. And he added that his generation doesn’t want to take anyone’s position away: “I don’t want to be Carla Antonelli, I don’t want to be Silvia Jaén. I want to learn from them, I want them to teach me how to be myself and how youth can achieve all the things that these wonderful people have achieved.”

Reprude claw impressions as well, were found for the first time in April 2020. Later, they were positioned close to one another.
According to a scientific report published in the first week of July, the majority of dinosaur footprint fossils have been found in Northern China. Acng to the site, which cited academics, the 9,000 square meter-sized imprints were created between the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras, or roughly 150 million years ago. The fossilised footprints, which include claw impressions as well, were found for the first time in April 2020. Later, they were positioned close to one another.

According to China Daily, scientists can determine the dinosaurs' length, weight, and size from their footprints and extrapolate their walking speed.

There are four distinct dinosaur species represented by the prints, none of which have been given names. The experts speculate that one of the fossils may belong to a species that hasn't yet been identified. Both herbivores and carnivores can be seen in the collection of these footprints. According to SCMP, the carnivores were smaller, measuring only four to five metres, while the herbivores could grow to lengths of over 15 metres.
Scientists theorised that the area may have drawn dinosaurs due to its availability of water and trees during the time of the dinosaurs. With some vegetation, the area is presently a high, stony grassland.

The cold and dark evenings are hopefully on their way out soon, and we can begin to look forward to then, this thriving town offers a number of great outdoor activities for all the family, as well as a few hidden gems, and if you buy one of the beautiful new houses at SeaGreen, you can answer the call of the sea and enjoy a range of water-based pursuits practically on your doorstep.
While the houses at SeaGreen all offer high-spec fixtures, features and fittings, one other major benefit of this development is its proximity to the coast, and the many activities it provides to make sure you and your family enjoy a great lifestyle.
Here are just a few marine highlights of this great seaside location:
Greystones Harbour Marina
Recently modernised, Greystones marina lies at the centre of the town’s beautiful harbour, and is a great place to indulge in your love of the water.
Accommodating up to 250 boats and attracting sailing enthusiasts from all over Ireland, the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, and even the US, the marina provides full boatyard facilities, including storage, hoisting, water and shore power, fuelling, and toilet and shower facilities. There is also free WiFi and local maps and guides, so even if you are not planning to head out on the water, it’s a great place to kick back and relax, or plan a day out inland.
The Beaches
On either side of the harbour lies a beautiful Blue Flag beach that provides a great chance to enjoy a bit of sun, sea and sand. In the summer months, these beaches prove very popular with locals and visitors alike, with the nearby railway line offering easy access from Dublin and the surrounding towns, but locals are also known to enjoy the water here all year round, as the annual Christmas swim shows.
What makes these beaches truly stand out is the amazing setting, with stunning views across Bray Head and Dublin Bay to the north, and the majestic backdrop of the Sugarloaf and Wicklow Mountains to the west. On a clear day, you can even make out the west coast of Wales on the horizon across the Irish Sea.
Greystones Sailing Club
Celebrating its 50th birthday this year, Greystones Sailing Club is one of the best dinghy sailing clubs in Ireland. The 350 member-strong organisation offers dinghy and keelboat sailing courses for a range of junior and adult classes and abilities, so whether you are an experienced racer or an absolute beginner, there is a course for you here.
The club has an active training and sailing programme providing instruction for 100 children and 30 adults every year, with ongoing training for other members, and runs a beginner’s course for Transition Year students at one of the excellent local schools – the nearby St David’s Secondary School. It also provides courses for First Aid, powerboats and sailing instructors.
Greystones Ridge Angling Club
Having formed almost 60 years ago, the Greystones Ridge Angling Club now has a brand-new clubhouse befitting the organisation’s appeal to the local community. With new members always welcome, they plan to make the club a centre of excellence for sea angling, and plan angling courses for people of all ages.
Sea Scouts
Based in the harbour marina, the Greystones Harbour Sea Scouts provides children and young adults with a great way to stay active, have fun and make friends. With a full marine activities programme including canoes and dinghies incorporated into the normal land-based scouting activities, members can enjoy a good cross-section of outdoor pursuits. During the winter months, theory practice is taught, before summer sees the Scouts take to the water, fully prepared and ready to put their lessons into practice.
From the age of six, children can join the Beavers, then move on to the Cubs at eight, before joining the Sea Scouts at 11, then moving up to the Venture section at 15, then the Rovers at 18, with the possibility of taking on a leadership role, so no matter what age your children are, they will find fun and friendship here.
The Cliff Walk
If you love the sea but prefer to look at it from the comfort of dry land, the Cliff Walk between Greystones and Bray is the perfect place to take in the scenery and get some exercise. The 7km walk along a well-maintained path offers great views of the surrounding coast, with the final stop at Bray Head well worth all the effort.
As well as the beautiful flora and many seabirds, porpoises, dolphins and basking sharks can sometimes be spotted by the keen-eyed walker.
If you don’t fancy retracing your steps back to Greystones, you can always take the 15-minute Dart ride from Bray station.
Greystones offers so many marine-based activities that you and your family will be able to enjoy a great lifestyle, and if you buy one of the homes at SeaGreen, you will be able to easily access all of these and experience all this town has to offer, before returning to the comfort of your beautiful home in this great development.

The memory paper will test your ability to think, generate hypotheses, and, in general, apply psychological science. The taskhe data that are available on the topic. The goal is to convince readers that the position you take is correct by presenting the relevant data on the topic.
Writing that both positions are correct will automatically result in a deduction of points.
Think of this as a “debate” in which your job is to argue one of the positions. This paper will require you to go beyond the textbook. You will need to refer to journal articles, book chapters, and, if you must, websites. Each student must read journal articles for the paper. At least three journal articles must be referenced. If you use websites, you are responsible for any misinformation you get from the website (the best websites to use are those of the researchers themselves). Your view in the reaction paper must be supported by psychological science (including neuroscience, social psychology, neurobiology).

* The novel technology will reduce the scarcity of fresh vegetables and mitigate effective organic waste management in high altitude areas
Kanpur: A team of scientists and researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, has developed a solar energy-based Root Zone Heating system and Vermi-Bed method for plants in high altitude areas. The novel technology has been developed keeping in view the scarcity of fresh vegetables or agricultural produce and the lack of effective organic waste management in high altitude areas like the Leh-Ladakh region. A team comprising M.Tech student Anshul Rawat, and Prof. Mukesh Sharma, and Prof. Anubha Goel from the Department of Civil Engineering has been defence forces deployed in high altitude areas like the Leh-Ladakh region, especially during winters because of the extreme climatic conditions which make agriculture difficult. This issue is further compounded due to increased tourism in those areas as the demand for vegetables increases. The region faces a severe scarcity of fresh vegetables leading to increased food miles of fresh food supply, adverse impact on the environment and economic losses due to the perishable nature of vegetables.
Another major challenge faced in high altitude areas is organic waste management. Organic waste generation is a continuous process, and its disposal is a critical issue in the regions of subzero temperatures. If organic wastes like food waste is disposed of in a landfill, it rots and becomes a significant source of methane, a greenhouse gas. Poor waste management – ranging from non-existing collection system to ineffective disposal – cause air pollution, water and soil contamination. This waste can be extremely beneficial when converted into compost and can be used for growing healthier plants, but that is not feasible under extremely low temperature. It is to address these two issues that the IIT Kanpur team has come up with this unique technology.
Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director, IIT Kanpur said, “The high altitude areas pose some crucial problems when it comes to availability of fresh produce and organic waste management, especially for our defence forces that require a good amount of fresh produce in their daily diet. Due to the climate and weather conditions, it is difficult to avail fresh produce year-long. Hence, this novel technology of Root Zone Heating system and Vermi-Bed method developed by the team at our institute is a significant step towards helping especially our defence forces deployed there with fresh vegetable supply and a solution to effectively mitigate organic waste. I congratulate the whole team for this innovative invention and for taking a step further in sustainable research and development practised at IIT Kanpur.”
The basic premise of the technology is a greenhouse (polyhouse) plantation of vegetables and a provision of the heating root zone of the plants. The root zone heating is scientifically studied and modelled by laying a network of GI (Galvanised Iron) pipes below the ground carrying solar-heated water and by integrating aluminium sheet fins with the buried GI pipes, to enhance the heat transfer.
A significant temperature increase (7oC to 18oC) in soil was achieved during the trial, depending upon the temperature of hot water being flown inside the GI pipes. This raised temperature helped plants grow in a faster and healthier way than the plants grown outside at relatively low temperatures. Such a system in high altitude areas can better the cropping cycle to produce fresh vegetables even in winter conditions. This technology was field-tested that provided efficient solution producing good quality of vegetables in a protected environment and results were projected for high altitude areas where the temperature goes to – 150C and below.
To resolve the issue of waste management, on-site treatment of organic waste by vermicomposting was also carried out inside the polyhouse in a pit, wherein additional heat was provided to the vermi-bed by running hot water through buried rubber pipes. Hence, this technology developed a symbiotic system that not only enhances the fresh food supply in high altitude areas during winters but also provides solutions for producing nearly zero waste.
This technology has unified organic waste management practice with agriculture. The technology can assist our troops deployed in high altitude areas by making them self-reliant to a large extent in terms of the fresh food supply by growing desired vegetables in a protected environment like a greenhouse with solar-operated root zone heating and at the same time, it will assist in managing the organic waste generated by maintaining high-temperature vermicomposting. Thus we have a system where vegetables can be grown, and waste generated can be converted into compost, and further utilized at the same green/polyhouse to grow vegetables. This signifies a symbiotic system with inbuilt circular economy.

It had been her childhood peanut allergy that first sparked senior Ayesha Ng’s passion for the body. “;To check thierested in biology and living systems,” Ng states.
She didn’t exactly plan it by doing this. However in her 3 . 5 years at Durch, Ng, a biology and cognitive and brain sciences double major from the la, California area, has conducted research and brought classes analyzing pretty much every degree of human health — from cellular to societal.
Most lately, her desire for medicine and health equity brought her towards the National Reason for Cdc and Prevention (CDC), where, this summer time, she labored to build up guidelines for addressing health disparities on condition and native health jurisdictions’ Covid-19 data dashboards. Now, being an ambitious physician amongst the school of medicine application, Ng has a feeling of how microbiological, physiological, and social systems interact to affect an individual’s health.
Beginning small
Throughout her entire newbie at Durch, Ng studied the biology of health in a cellular level. Particularly, she researched the results of fasting and aging on regeneration of intestinal stem cells, which come in a persons intestinal crypts and continuously self-divide and reproduce. Understanding these metabolic mechanisms is vital, his or her deregulation can result in age-connected illnesses for example cancer.
“;That experience permitted me to broaden my technical skills, just becoming accustomed to so various sorts of molecular biological techniques immediately, that we really appreciated,” Ng states of her time in the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Professor David Sabatini’s lab.
“;After a while, I recognized which i also wanted tostudy sciences in a broader, more macro level, rather of just the microbiology and molecular biology that people were studying in Course 7,” Ng states of her biology major.
Additionally to staring at the biology of cancer, Ng acquired a fascination with a persons brain and just how it truely does work. “;I really was thinking about that, because my grand daddy has dementia,” Ng states.
Seeing her grandfather’s cognitive decline, she was motivated to get involved in Durch BrainTrust, students organization that provides a support network for people from round the Boston, Massachusetts area who’ve brain injuries. “;We have these conferences, by which I serve among just one or two students there to facilitate a secure space where we are able to have these people with brain injuries gather,” Ng states from the peer-support part of the program. “;They can definitely share their mutual challenges and encounters.”
Investigating the mind
To pursue her curiosity about brain research and also the societal impact of brain injuries, Ng traveled towards the College of Hong Kong the summer time after her newbie being an Durch Worldwide Science Initiatives (MISTI) China Fung Scholar. Dealing with Professor Raymond Chang, she started to look at neurodegenerative disease and used tissue-clearing strategies to visualize 3D mouse brain structures at cellular resolution. “;That was personally significant for me personally, to analyze about this and find out more about dementia,” Ng states.
Coming back to Durch her sophomore year, Ng was sure that she desired to continue staring at the brain. She started focusing on Alzheimer’s research in the Durch Picower Institute for Learning and Memory within the lab of Professor Li-Huei Tsai, the Picower Professor of Neuroscience at Durch. Much existing research into Alzheimer’s continues to be in the bulk-tissue level, concentrating on the neurons’ role in neurodegeneration connected with aging.
Ng’s use Tsai views the complexness of alterations across genes and fewer-abundant cell types, for example microglia, astrocytes, along with other supporting glial cells that become dysregulated within the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s. Thinking about the interplay between and within cell types during neurodegeneration is most intriguing to her. Although some molecular processes are protective, other damaging ones concurrently occur and may exist even inside the same cell type. This intricacy makes the mechanistic basis behind Alzheimer’s progression elusive and also the research that rather more crucial.
“;It’s interesting to determine how heterogeneous and sophisticated the responses have been in Alzheimer’s brains,” Ng states from the research program with Tsai, a founding director of MIT’s Aging Brain Initiative. “;I really consider these potential new drug targets to enhance strategy to Alzheimer’s later on because I’ve come across, with my grand daddy especially, how treatment methods are really missing within the neurodegeneration field. There isn’t any treatment that’s had the ability to stop or perhaps slow the advancement of Alzheimer’s.”
Her research study within the Tsai Lab uses technology known as single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), which extracts the genomic information found in individual cells. This really is adopted by computational dimension reduction and clustering algorithms to look at how Alzheimer’s differentially affects genes and particular cell types.
“;With that project, we have had the ability to use single-nucleus RNA sequencing to actually consider the brains of human Alzheimer’s patients,” Ng states. “;And using the single-cell technology, we are able to check out brain tissue in a much greater resolution, allowing us to determine that there’s a lot heterogeneity inside the brain.”
After performing at least a year of Alzheimer’s research after which going for a human physiology class in her own third year, Ng made the decision to include another major in brain and cognitive sciences to achieve much deeper insight particularly into the way the central nervous system in the human body functions.
“;That class really permitted me to understand which i love organ systems and desired to study by searching at more physiological mechanisms,” Ng states. “;It continues to be excellent to, in the finish of my college career, really delve more right into a very specific system.”
Medicine and society
Getting acquired perspective on cellular and microbiology, and human organ systems, Ng made the decision to zoom out further, interning earlier this summer time in the National Reason for CDC. She found the chance through MIT’s PKG Center, applied among 60 candidates, and it was selected for any group of four. There, as part of the CDC Foundation’s Health Equity Strike Team, she examined how you can increase transparency of openly available Covid-19 data on health disparities and just how the narrative associated with health equity could be modified in public places health messages. This involved harnessing data concerning the census of individuals most affected during Covid-19 — including how infection and mortality rates differ starkly according to social factors including housing conditions, socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity.
“;Thinking about each one of these factors, we compiled some guidelines for the way to provide data about Covid-19, what data ought to be collected, and attempted to push individuals to help jurisdictions as well as-practice recommendations,” Ng states. “;That did really increase my curiosity about health equity making me realize how important public health is really as well.”
Amongst the Covid-19 pandemic, Ng is spending the very first semester of her senior year aware of her family in the la area. “;I miss the folks and the inability to communicate with not just other students and peers, but additionally faculty too,” she states. “;I wanted to savor time with buddies, and merely explore much more of Durch, too, that we did not always can do in the last couple of years.”
Still, she is constantly on the take part in both BrainTrust and MIT’s Asian Dance team, remotely, through weekly practices on Zoom.
“;I think dance is among the greatest de-stressors for me personally I’d never done dance before you go to college. Dealing with meet this team and join this community permitted me not just to connect with my Asian cultural roots, but additionally just expose myself for this new talent where I possibly could really learn to express myself on stage,” Ng states. “;And that actually continues to be the origin of relief that i can just liberate any worries which i have, and it has elevated my feeling of self-awareness and self-confidence.”
Equipped with the numerous encounters she’s enjoyed at Durch, both interior and exterior the classroom, Ng intends to continue studying both medicine and public health. She’s excited to understand more about different potential specialties and it is presently most intrigued by surgery. Whichever niche she may choose, she’s going to include health equity and cultural sensitivity in her own practice.
“;Seeing surgeons, Personally, i believe that having the ability to physically heal someone with my very own hands, that might be probably the most rewarding feeling,” Ng states.

Борьба с насилием в отношении женщин в эпоху цифровых технологий с использованием Стамбульской конвенции: Общая рекомендация ГРЕВИО № 1 о цифровом измерении насилия в отношении женVIO members,
Distinguished speakers,
Colleagues and friends,
Let me begin by congratulating GREVIO on the adoption of General Recommendation No.1 on the digital dimension of violence against women. I wish to extend my congratulations to all the experts and actors who worked on this document. It is with great pleasure that I take part in this launch event.
Today, in a context where the Istanbul Convention is under attack and where restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have increased levels of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls, your work is all the more essential.
Combating violence against women and girls, including domestic violence, has been among the top priorities on my agenda since the beginning of my mandate. Addressing the digital dimension of violence against women is challenging but also very timely. And that is why I welcome the fact that GREVIO’s first General Recommendation focuses on that topic.
The long-standing problem of cyberviolence in Europe has acquired a new dimension in recent years with the rising popularity of social media platforms. Today, online threats of murder, sexual assault or rape are worryingly part of women’s daily life. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed women and girls to online gender-based violence, particularly sexual violence. It is in this same period that, last year, I published a statement calling on member states to stop cyberviolence against women and girls.
Throughout my work, I have noted how cyber-attacks against women and girls are often not taken seriously, not only by law-enforcement officials, but also by women’s families and relations and by society as a whole. Women and girls might not be believed, they are sometimes discredited and stigmatised. They are often told that nothing will change if they speak up. Cyberviolence continues, therefore, to go underreported and underestimated. Huge challenges still lie along the path towards obtaining justice for the women victims who do actually find the courage to speak out.
This needs to change. It is important that manifestations of violence against women and girls in the digital sphere are understood as a form of violence against women that, like any other, hampers the full realisation of gender equality and violates their human rights.
Freedom of expression is a fundamental right which must be protected, but it is not an absolute right. There are limits which apply, in particular with regard to hate speech against women and girls. Cyberviolence against women can and should be prosecuted and sanctioned as such and women should be protected and able to obtain redress.
However, we also need to be aware that, in some cases, content shared online targeting women and girls, which may not reach the threshold to fall under the scope of criminal law, can nevertheless be harmful. Disparaging comments and images can also be destructive, considering the amplitude that this may take due to the multitude of people involved and the wide and quick spread of such content through the Internet and social platforms. Here, awareness-raising is among the preventive measures that can be taken.
I also believe that freedom of expression should serve as a vital tool to counter hate speech and make the digital world a place where women and girls feel safe, free from violence, empowered and more visible. This is why, in 2019, ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, I called on member states, and on all of us in fact, to speak up against sexist hate speech in full line with the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers Recommendation CM/Rec(2019)1 on preventing and combating sexism.
States must address cyberviolence, using all the tools at their disposal. And these tools exist.
Today we have this General Recommendation, dedicated to the application of the Istanbul Convention in relation to the digital dimension of violence against women. This General Recommendation confirms that the Istanbul Convention is the most comprehensive and far-reaching international treaty to address gender-based violence against women. This treaty needs to be valued and adequately implemented to protect women and girls, also in the ever-evolving digital space.
This should be done in connection with other treaties and instruments we have at our disposal, such as the Lanzarote Convention, dealing with sexual abuse and exploitation against children, and the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, to which a second additional protocol on enhanced co-operation and disclosure of electronic evidence was adopted last week.
Considering the disproportionate and very harmful impact that cyberviolence has on women, it is essential to find ways of preventing perpetrators from hiding their identity in the digital sphere. Digital environments cannot be realms of impunity. GREVIO’s General Recommendation is full of measures that can be taken in this respect. In particular, the role of all relevant actors, including ICT companies and internet intermediaries, must be enhanced.
The digital dimension of violence against women not only causes women and girls psychological harm and suffering – resulting, in some cases, in physical violence - but it also deters them from digital participation in political, social and cultural life. As women in society experience varying and intersecting forms of discrimination, having an aggravating negative impact in their daily lives, we must be aware that sexist hate speech and cyberviolence may affect women to different degrees and in different ways.
Some women – in fact - are particularly exposed, such as public figures, politicians, journalists and women’s rights defenders. Today, I would like to address in particular the situation of human rights defenders and female journalists.
Most defenders of women’s rights are women themselves. It is their voices that are often silenced by attacks and threats made by thousands of invisible faces. As a woman, and Commissioner for Human Rights, I am familiar with such attacks online.
I have also noted how the online harassment of women journalists has a significant impact on women’s participation in the field of journalism, their personal lives and the ability of society to access information. I have often reiterated that states have the duty to adopt protective measures for female journalists and to encourage the private sector and the media to fight gender-based violence online. Human rights standards to ensure the safety of journalists and combat gender-based violence exist. Implementation is, however, lacking.
In particular, in light of the work carried out by my Office in the past years, I have seen that women’s rights defenders and journalists who challenge traditional gender stereotypes or work on issues such as sexual and reproductive health and rights are often specifically targeted in a number of European states. Women defending and reporting on the rights of the LGBTI community are also under constant attack. Those who advocate for the rights of women victims of domestic violence and provide them with assistance have reported continuous harassment and threats online by perpetrators of violence. Recently, I was informed that women’s human rights defenders have also been subjected to cyberviolence for highlighting in some states the importance of ratifying and implementing the Istanbul Convention.
This type of violence in the digital sphere may cause women’s defenders and female journalists to withdraw from participating online and from expressing their views on online platforms, silencing their voices and rendering them further invisible in the public debate. This has tremendous consequences. Undermining women’s human rights defenders and female journalists’ rights and work, in a digital or non-digital environment, means undermining democracy itself. In the context of the current backlash against women’s rights which endangers the progress already achieved towards gender equality, this is very dangerous.
Women’s defenders and journalists, in their role as public watchdogs in democratic societies, stand at the core of that constant vigilance and mobilisation that incessantly fights against stagnation and retrogression in women’s rights.
We, in turn, need to highlight their courage and determination by creating and promoting the use of existing tools and assisting them in this fight. That is also one of the objectives of the adoption of this very first General Recommendation. And that is why, in my dialogue with states, you can be sure that I will continue to call on them to ratify and implement the Istanbul Convention with this guidance in mind, and to have perpetrators duly prosecuted and sanctioned for their acts of violence online.
I will reiterate as it is done in this General Recommendation the need to guarantee easily accessible, safe and specialised mechanisms enabling women to report abuse and obtain both protection and the removal of harmful materials. And to train law enforcement agencies to be able to investigate and prosecute cyberviolence more efficiently. I also believe that initiating societal debates raising awareness about this multifaceted problem and how to tackle it is very important. And, lastly, we should not forget that the internet can also be a good place for awareness-raising campaigns alerting society to the risks of cyberviolence and offering counselling and support services to women’s human rights defenders and female journalists. An excellent example is the OSCE Representative on Freedom of Media’s SOFJO project focusing on the online safety of female journalists.
This alone cannot overcome the many barriers women, including women’s human rights defenders and female journalists, continue to face in the digital space. Improving their protection also requires that political leaders, opinion makers and influencers refrain from hostile speech and actions against them, and raise public awareness of their work and the importance of protecting their rights. All state authorities need to step up, acknowledge the injustice and suffering created by the digital dimension of violence against women, recognise the costs to society, and work to transform the situation, including by combating the root causes of gender inequality and violence.
I wish you a fruitful conference. I trust that this General Recommendation will contribute to a renewed understanding and commitment to the implementation of the Istanbul Convention, and other Council of Europe instruments.

Categories In At VIFreep, Breaking News, Business Newx bartender was given 1.5 years in prison Thursday by a federal judge for bringing about 10 pounds of marijuana on a commercial flight.
Gibbs Bully, 52, of Christiansted, was sentenced in U.S. District Count on one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, U.S. Attorney Gretchen C.F. Shappert said.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Wilma A. Lewis gave Bully 18 months in prison, followed by four years of supervised release and imposed a fine of $4,000 and a $100 special assessment, according to Shappert.
Bully was ordered to surrender to the U.S. Marshals Service on April 15 to begin serving his sentence.
Bully previously pled guilty to the charge on January 10, 2018.
According to court documents, his unnamed co-defendant traveled on an American Airlines flight from Miami, Florida, to St. Croix via the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport.
Bully solicited, aided and abetted his co-defendant in checking one box onto the flight containing five separate vacuum-sealed packages of marijuana, weighing approximately 4.5 kilograms (9.902 pounds).
Once his partner arrived in St. Croix, Bully retrieved the box containing the marijuana from the baggage carousel.
He was immediately detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.
The case was investigated U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The marijuana was analyzed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA’s) Southeast Crime Laboratory in Miami.
In August 2014, Bully was pulled over by Nebraska State police and allegedly had 5.4 pounds of marijuana in the 2014 Ford Escape he was driving.
He was also arrested by Kansas Troopers in March of 2014 allegedly with 50 pounds of marijuana in his possession.
On Facebook, Bully said he works for the Comanche Hotel on Strand Street in Christiansted.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Daniel Huston.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Electrical Engineering andncrease in intraocular pressure. Excessive intraocular pressure could damage optic nerves and lead to vision loss. Early detection is crucial to treat the patient as fast as possible to prevent irreversible blindness. Glaucoma diagnosis can be supported by a computer-aided detection system that provides automated measurement of the physical dimensions of the optic disc and the optic cup from retinal images. The Cup to Disc Ratio (CDR) of these measurements indicates the risk of developing glaucoma. CDR calculation relies on accurate optic disc localization and optic disc/cup segmentation. In this research, we developed an unsupervised optic disc localization and optic disc/cup semantic segmentation using U-Net which is optimized for retinal images from the Drishti-GS and Refuge datasets. 99.99±0.12% of the optic disc pixels were correctly included in the regions of interest by the proposed localization method. Further semantic segmentation on the regions of interest yields F-scores of 0.935±0.031 (Drishti-GS) and 0.950 ± 0.028 (Refuge) for optic disc and 0.832±0.071 (Drishti-GS) and 0.871±0.061 (Refuge) for optic cup. These results are comparable to the state-of-the-art methods.

Social media users were left shocked earlier this morning, after video footage began circulating across Facebook showing how a white sedan had abruptly caught fire along a mountain pass leading towards the popular Genting Highlands resort in Pahang. One of the clips, which was shared by TikTok user @ren.pmx, showed the white vehicle completely engulfed in br from a cable car gondola, pedestrians that were attempting to assist found themselves suddenly caught in a dangerous situation when the car’s handbrake appears to have given way completely. With nothing to anchor it in place, the burning sedan lurched backwards before rolling down along the steep roadway towards oncoming vehicles!
Understandably, other cars that were headed up along the mountain pass panicked and did what they could to avoid running into the astray wreck, with pedestrians fanning out away on the road. Narrowly missing a white SUV parked right behind it, the burning sedan then crashed against a road barricade that prevented it from tumbling down along the side of the mountain, before crashing into the front of a white Toyota MPV.
Another video shared on automotive enthusiast site Azurin Malaysia by TikTok user @kas_man88_tks shows how one man attempted to put out the fire of the wreckage with a fire extinguisher to no avail.
No injuries reported from the incident
According to China Press, the incident had taken place yesterday (9th May 2022) at around 1.44pm in the afternoon. The Genting Highlands Fire and Rescue Department said that they had dispatched first responders immediately to the scene upon receiving a tip-off. They were able to successfully tame the blaze and bring it under control by 2.03pm.
“The wreck has been identified as a South Korean sedan which caught fire, before rolling backwards and ramming into a Toyota Vellfire before stopping.” a representative said.
No injuries were reported as a result of the accident. However, the cause of the fire is still being investigated by the authorities.

The independent review, chaired by Dame Franceuture of the UK’s free, independent and high-quality news in the digital age.
The Review is heading to Brussels on a fact-fine aim is to seek to understand what European governments are doing to protect the creation and consumption of accurate and financially sustainable journalism. The panel will speak to key stakeholders, including from the European Publishers’ Council and representatives of the Digital Economy in the European Commission.
With her final recommendations to Government and industry expected in the new year, Dame Frances is particularly keen to gauge views in Europe on the buying and selling of advertising online and whether this could be made more transparent, as well as the appetite in the EU for regulation to counter the disrupting influence of online platforms on the press industry.
The Review is calling for evidence and views from both consumers and the industry itself on the issues under consideration, including how to create and support the conditions that will enable high quality journalism to continue and flourish.

Performance of a contract with you (where applicable)
If you are a private client or an individual supplier or other individual with a direct contractual relationship with us, we process the personal data we require in order to fulfil our obligations under our contract with you.
The legitimate interests of Wiggin or a third party
We may process your personal data on the lawful basis that it is in our legitimate interests and/or the legitimate interests of a third party to do so. This will primarily apply when we provide legal advice and services to our clients. Our legitimate interest in such instances is the proper performance of our role as an authorised and regulated provider of legal services. Our clients also have a legitimate interest (and a more general right in law) in obtaining legal advice and services.
Our broad interest in the provision of legal services as a basis for processing your personal data, and our clients’ corresponding interest in the receipt of such services, can be broken down into more discrete categories which may include (but are not limited to):
contacting individuals relevant to our work and our clients’ matters, which may involve the use of your personal data;

We do not consider that the processing of your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests as described above is likely to result in any unwarranted prejudicial effect on your rights and freedoms or your own legitimate interests, and we regularly review our systems and processes to ensure that remains the case.

We may also need to disclose your personal data in the course of business to our consultants who operate in the UK and in the USA, to staff in our Brussels office, and to our associated and related businesses (including INCOPRO, Overmorrow, Viewfinder, Reviewed & Cleared, Cirkus).

Introduction
Wilton Daniel GregoryVideo screenshot
In October 2020, when Pope Francicame at a time when Americans were confronting the legacy of centuries of racial injustice in the wake of a rash of police killings of unarmed African Americans.
Gregory has advocated for better representation of people of color in the Church, arguing that it is important for African American Catholics to see clergy who resemble themselves.
He has also encouraged the Catholic Church to adopt a policy of inclupenalty: no matter the crime. no matter the circumstances.
Cardinal Gregory first rose to prominence in the early 2000s, as sexual abuse scandals rocked the Catholic Church in the United States. Gregory steadfastly steered the institution through some of the most tumultuous years in its history. Elected to head the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, he backed a zero-tolerance policy for current and future clerical offenders, and he implemented a “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.”
In His Own Words
“In a news conference after the vote [electing him as President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops], Bishop Gregory said that he regarded his election as ‘an expression of the love of the Catholic Church for people of color’ and that he hoped it would encourage African-American Catholics who were ‘lukewarm in their faith’ to return to the church.” — November 14, 2001, New York Times article, titled “Catholic Bishops Elect First Black President”
“From this day forward, no one known to have sexually abused a child will work in the Catholic Church.” — June 15, 2002, statement by Wilton Gregory, then Bishop of Belleville, Illinois, and President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, when the Conference voted overwhelmingly to adopt a zero-tolerance policy on sexual abuse of minors by priests aimed at removing all offenders from any job connected with the Church.
“I’m a city kid by nature, and in Southern Illinois I came to respect and value and appreciate the gifts of rural life in ways that would have been unimaginable to me as a kid. … It comes to harvest time, and my heart goes back to the farms of Southern Illinois. I think, ‘They’re planting now,’ and I pray that they do so with success. I think, ‘They’re about to harvest,’ and I ask God to bless their efforts.” — June 26, 2012, profile of Wilton Gregory in the St Louis Post Dispatch, reflecting on the years spent visiting small parishes as a Bishop in Belleville, Illinois, whose farmlands and rural life differed substantially from Chicago, where he was born and raised
“We believe that it [the world] is broken in so many ways, because people are estranged and frightened, and that’s the healing and reparation that needs to take place — the bringing together of many different peoples, faiths, cultures and traditions that share planet Earth.” — Wilton Gregory, at an October 2017 public discussion in Atlanta, Georgia, “Repairing the World: Understanding Our Shared Responsibility,” hosted by the Archdiocese of Atlanta, which he headed at the time, and the American Jewish Committee Atlanta Regional Office
“As you may imagine, I have received a great many messages of welcome since my appointment as your archbishop. … One such message in particular touched my heart deeply. It came from a youngster at St. John the Evangelist Catholic School in Silver Spring, and simply said; ‘Make Jesus Proud!’ With the profound simplicity and innocence of a child, that poster card-written note captured intentions that many lengthier and perhaps more sophisticated expressions have attempted to convey but simply could not match — in either their impact or their brevity!” — Wilton Gregory, in an August 2019 column in the Catholic Standard newspaper of the Archdiocese of Washington, a few months after he was named by Pope Francis as the new Archbishop of Washington, D.C.
“You belong to the heart of this church. There is nothing that you may do, may say, that will rip you from the heart of this church. There is a lot that has been said to you, about you, behind your back that is painful and is sinful. I mentioned my conversation with Fortunate Families. We have to find a way to talk to one another, and to talk to one another not just from one perspective, but to talk and to listen to one another. I think that’s the way that Jesus ministered. He engaged people, he took them where they were at, and he invited them to go deeper, closer to God. If you’re asking me where do you fit, you fit in the family.” — Wilton Gregory, responding in August 2019 to a question from a transgender Catholic who asked the Archbishop: “What place do I as a confirmed transgender Catholic and what place do my queer friends have here in this archdiocese?”
When the bishops were asked how opposition to the death penalty can be seen as a pro-life issue, Archbishop Gregory said, “It makes us violent to do violence against another human being, whether that person is waiting to be born, has reached the end of life or has committed a serious crime. They all belong to God’s creation.” — Wilton Gregory, at an October 10, 2019, U.S. bishops’ roundtable discussion during which the participants were asked to explain how opposing the death could be interpreted as a pro-life issue
“We are at a pivotal juncture in our country’s struggle for racial justice and national harmony.” — Wilton Gregory at a Mass on August 28, 2020, commemorating the 57th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington
“With a very grateful and humble heart, I thank Pope Francis for this appointment, which will allow me to work more closely with him in caring for Christ’s Church.” — Wilton Gregory, in a news statement on October 25, 2020, after announcement that he would be the first African American to be elevated to the position of cardinal
“It isn’t just the African American kids who need to see a Black bishop, it is the White kids that needed to see it. We know that there is systemic racism woven into almost every dimension of the American institution, but I’d like to focus the question of morality on the individual. That is, where is my heart?” — Wilton Gregory, in an October 29, 2020, article in the Indian Express following Pope Francis naming Gregory as one of 13 new cardinal electors
The Stories Others Tell
“Gregory was a youthful 54 years old when he led the church through the early years of the abuse crisis. He’s now one of the senior leaders of American Catholicism, and he carries that bearing among his brother bishops.” — June 16, 2012, article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “Archbishop Gregory Fondly Remembers Years in Belleville”
“Archbishop Wilton Gregory, who heads the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., is one of the few members of the U.S. Catholic hierarchy who is willing to offer affirming messages to the LGBTQ community. He is the first Black bishop from the U.S. to be named a cardinal, has spoken frequently on racial justice, and has connected the 1960s civil rights movement to the LGBTQ equality movement.” — Francis DeBernardo, Executive Director of New Ways Ministry, an LGBTQ advocacy group, in response to Wilton Gregory’s selection by Pope Francis in October 2020 as one of 13 new cardinals of the Catholic Church
“He’s a convert Catholic, and that’s what I really admire about him … that he wasn’t born into Catholicism. He learned Catholicism … So I say he must really be committed.” — Washington, D.C., native McKinley Rush, in an October 2020 article in AFRO, an online platform for African Americans devoted to offering “images and stories of hope to advance their community.”
“By a rough count, no more than about 50 American Catholic prelates have attained the rank of cardinal since 1900, and every one of them was White. On Sunday, Pope Francis gave word that will change when he announced that the current archbishop of Washington, Wilton Gregory, will be elevated and become the first African American cardinal.
“His installation at the Vatican next month will be an important milestone. It will also amplify the new cardinal’s voice both in the Catholic Church and nationally. His promising track record so far this century, as an archbishop taking over the scandal-ridden Washington archdiocese and, before that, as the first Black president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and as archbishop of Atlanta, suggests he may be an influential voice for a church that is more inclusive, tolerant and racially clued-in, unafraid to take firm stances on socially divisive issues.” — October 26, 2020, Washington Post
“Roughly 4 percent of American Catholics are Black, but they represent fewer than 1 percent of the nation’s 36,500 Catholic priests. Including Archbishop Gregory, just eight of 250 American bishops are African Americans. Archbishop Gregory, whose jurisdiction encompasses populous swaths of Maryland, including Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, has acknowledged the church’s shortcomings and cited them as impetus to now ‘place ourselves at the forefront’ of the fight for racial justice in Maryland, as he put it in a letter following George Floyd’s killing this spring. He also aligned himself squarely on the side of police reforms, saying at a virtual town hall meeting, ‘Until we can get to the point where a young Black kid, a young Black man, can feel safe when he’s encountering a police officer, we’ve got to talk.’” — October 26, 2020, Washington Post article, “Archbishop Gregory’s Elevation to Cardinal is an Important Milestone for the Catholic Church”
“Archbishop Gregory has earned a reputation for diplomacy, yet he has also been willing to speak truth to power. He did so during his tenure in Atlanta, when Georgia Republicans pushed legislation allowing worshippers to carry guns into church if their congregations allowed it. In response, he imposed a ban on bearing firearms in Catholic institutions for most civilians. He has also reached out to LGBTQ Catholics, ostracized for years by the hierarchy, saying they too were ‘sons and daughters of the church.’” — October 26, 2020, Washington Post article, “Archbishop Gregory’s Elevation to Cardinal is an Important Milestone for the Catholic Church”
A Life in Brief
Shortly after he was enrolled as a sixth grader in a Catholic school in Chicago in 1958, Wilton Gregory became so impressed with the kindness of the teachers at the parochial institution that, though not Catholic, he decided he wanted to become a priest. The young Gregory wasted no time in converting to Catholicism.
His father, who divorced his mother when Gregory was a boy and never went to church, “was rather silent when I spoke to him about my desire,” Gregory recalled years later. His mother and grandmother, who enrolled him in the Cathohdiocese of Chicago on May 9, 1973.
A decade later, he was ordained an auxiliary Bishop of Chicago — and a decade and a year after that he was installed as Bishop of the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois, where, as President of the U.S. Conference of Bishops, he was lauded for his impartial handling of a major sexual abuse issue and the Conference’s adoption of a zero-tolerance policy on priest sexual abuse. In 2004, Pope John Paul II appointed Gregory Archbishop of Atlanta, and Pope Francis appointed Gregory as Archbishop of Washington, D.C., in 2019. The following year, Gregory was named by Pope Francis as one of 13 new Cardinals.
Achievements We’ll Remember
May bruary 10, 1994: Wilton Gregory is installed as the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Belleville, Illinois.
November 14, 2001: Wilton Gregory is elected President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, becoming the first African American to occupy that office.
December 9, 2004: Pope John Paul II appoints Wilton Gregory as the sixth Archbishop of Atlanta.
April 4, 2019: Pope Francis appoints Wilton Gregory as seventh Archbishop of Washington, D.C.
October 25, 2020: Pope Francis names Archbishop Wilton Gregory as one of 13 new members of the College of Cardinals.
November 28, 2020: Pope Francis elevates Archbishop Wilton Gregory to the College of Cardinals.
The Religion He Leads
The Catholic Church, or Roman Catholic Church, is the world’s largest Christian denomination with more than 1.3 billion baptized Catholics as of 2018 — just under 18 percent of the world’s population. The Church consists of nearly 3,500 dioceses and is the world’s oldest and largest continuously functioning international institution.
The Bishop of Rome is the Pope, a word that derives from Latin papa and the Greek pappas, which mean “father.” The Pope presides over the entire Roman Catholic Church.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, there are more Roman Catholics than all other Christians combined and more Roman Catholics than all Buddhists or Hindus. Although there are more Muslims than Catholics, the number of Roman Catholics is greater than that of the individual traditions of Shia or Sunni Islam.
The origins of the Church date back to the very beginning of Christianity — to Jesus Christ and the Apostles, when St. Peter was the first Pope.
From the fall of the Roman Empire through the Dark Ages, monks preserved the Church’s classical literature and learning. In the year 1,000, cathedral schools emerged as educational institutions, which were replaced later by the early universities of Europe. The Church, as an ecclesiastic and theological authority, played a significant role in that transition, wielding tremendous power in every facet of Medieval life.
With the Reformation, beginning in the 16th century, came the establishment of other Christian churches, but the Roman Catholic Church has continued as a vital force in the world.
Care of the ill is an essential Christian responsibility, according to the Benedictine Rule, a book of precepts written in 516 by Benedict of Nursia. It states: “Before all things and above all things, care must be taken of the sick, so that they will be as if they were Christ in person …” Today, the Catholic Church runs some 5,500 hospitals, 18,000 clinics, 16,000 homes for the elderly and those with special needs, with 65 percent of the facilities located in underdeveloped and developing countries.

Section 1
One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents and scholarly secondary sources and then create an analysis of this research. Please read the relevant chapters in your textbook, and click on the links below to access sources on the Modern Era that will help you with your journal assignment.
For this historical journal, consider ONE of the following:
1.]
2.]
3.]
4.]
5.]
6.]
7.]
8.]
Once you have picked your subject, I want you to describe the event in a tweet. Yes, that is correct—you have only 288 characters to describe the event. There are entire vly describe it. Your tweet must be concise, factual, and give me enough information so that if I knew nothing about the event, your tweet would tell me what I need to know, including the following:
Time period
The two or three most important points or facts about the event
And/or the most important people involved in the event
For instance, if I tweet about the Vietnam War, I might say:
Battle against Communism in Vietnam. US involvement since 1950s; no conclusion until the 1970s. Draft in an undeclared war; people protest US action. Chaos and Division! Fall of Saigon—Sad!
I include the time period, how long US involvement was, the fact the Vietnam was undeclared and included a draft and the fact that US involvement in the war divided the country. Once you have completed the tweet, explain to me why you included the information you did and what you left out and why. For example, I would explain why I believed the battle against Communism and the social protests against the war were the most important points and why I left out things like military strategies in Vietnam.
This assignment should be at least 300 words (not including the tweet) and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative that you find compelling. Create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, and/or discuss some original insight. Include citations as necessary.
Section 2
After reading chapter 26 in your textbook [Tindall and Shi, America: A Narrative History. 11th edition]. And reviewing the sources listed: World War II,” please click on the title below to access the short film, “The Fallen of World War II

Section 3
Richard Nixon is one of the most controversial politicians of the 20th century. Elected in 1968, he promised an honorable end to the Vietnam War and presided over the turbulent years of the late 1960s into the early 1970s. The continued conflict in Vietnam, a stagflationary economy, and ultimately the ensuing Watergate scandal all affected peoples’ perceptions of Nixon’s presidency.
Read chapter 30 in your textbook, [Tindall and Shi, America: A Narrative History. 11th edition] and review the sources below:
After reviewing the sources, consider the following questions: How should we remember Richard Nixon? How would you evaluate his presidency? Was he a success or a failure? Explain your answer using specific, citing examples from the sources.

1. What is the research about?
This report responds to the urgent need to increase individual and community-level capacity over the long term by investing in developmental opportunities through youth leadership. Research outlined in this report demonstrates that multidirectional benefits accrue to youth, especially those at-risk of or experiencing social exclusion, and their communities when youth leadership development opportunities are advanced. The report draws on current theories and evidence on youth leadership development in order to determine key elements of an urban youth leadership development model.
2. Where did the research take place?
This research is based on an extensive review of literature with a focus on the demographic shifts taking place in urban communities. These shifts urhoods.
3. Who is this research about?
This report focuses on urban youth who face multiple barriers to equitable civic participation and the need to design opportunities for them to access benefit from culturally- and structurally-responsive youth leadership development programs.
“It is essential that we shift from thinking only that ‘leadership development is good for youth’ to recognizing that youth leadership development and practice is good for communities, organizations, cities, and supports positive private and public processes and outcomes.”
4. How was the research done?
The report draws upon current theories and evidence on youth leadership development in order to determine key elements of an urban youth leadership development model. The report is informed by a systematic and comprehensive desk review of the literature using both national and international sources. It is focused on three lines of research: 1) critical positive youth development; 2) critical youth work; and 3) youth leadership development. The literature selected includes recently published books, peerrpose-driven and relational leadership has both individual and community-level developmental benefits for youth and their communities. Youth programs should provide young people facing multiple barriers with the resources they require to participate fully in leadership development opportunities. Programs should be designed to support young people to develop the skills and capacity to design system-level interventions to address the conditions impacting their lives. In order to accomplish this, leadership development programs for urban young people should:
provide opportunities for critical and culturally-relevant leadership knowledge and skills
provide opportunities to connect with peer or adult leadership mentors
provide opportunities for experiential application of leadership competencies through leadership practice
6. Why does this research matter for youth work?
Youth leadership development (and associated adult-ally leadership development) is a strategic response to demographic, social, political, and economic needs facing urban communities. Calls for increasing youth leadership come from the grassroots to the provincial level of government. Youth leadership needs are distinct from adult leadership needs. Therefore, youth leadership development programs are cautioned not to uncritically adopt adult (and outdated) approaches to leadership. Relational and social change orientations to youth leadership development cultivate 21st century skills – collaborative, responsive, and differentiated leadership practices. Youth leadership draws upon but also contributes to positive youth development. By changing our conceptualization of ‘leaders’ and who has access to leadership opportunities, we lead change for a more equitable present and future.

Efficient Consulting
There is a major difference between effective and efficient consulting. Within effective consulting companies get solutions and support in a fast and reliable matter.
We prefer efficient consulting, where we enable customer teams to understand the solutions and are able to continue maintaining them by themselves.
This allows companies to be less reliant on long term external consulting and results in happier staff.
Services
At example42 we not only deliver consulting, we also support teams by conducting specific trainings on DevOps related tool chains and offer Puppet code maintenance support.
Our maintenance contract takes the burden from teams when it comes to building Puppet code following modern best practice and not being blocked by deprecations when it comes to Puppet upgrades.
Especially in the DevOps world training is one of the essentials tasks which must be done to keep pace with modern best practice.
Knowledge sharing
We have always shared, and will continue to share, our experience on Puppet, operations, automation and DevOps. A list of the material, software and documentation we have shared includes:
This same blog, with our Tips of the Week on Puppet and DevOps

Around the nation: Child fatalities down by 32 percent in DC
Daily Briefing
⋮
Connecticut: Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN) has named Michael Collins CEO, solidifying a position he has held on an interim basis since October 2016. Previously, Collins worked as ECHN's integration officer (Vaidya, Becker's Hospital Review, 7/20).
New York: The Bezos Family Foundation has donated $25 million to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn. The funding is intended to help NYU Langone advance initiatives related to pediatric brain development, establish a partnership between the hospital's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Department of Population Health, and create new positions at the hospital to improve outcomes for children (Paavola, Becker's Hospital CFO Report, 7/20).
Washington, D.C.: The number of children in Washington, D.C. who died dropped by 32 percent between 2008 and 2015, from 182 to 124. Specifically, the death rate for children ages 15 to 19 declined by 53 percent, while the death rate among infants dropped by 28 percent. However, officials said while the decreases mark improvements in the D.C.'s child mortality rate, the rate still far exceeds the nationwide statistics: The capital in 2015 had a child mortality rate of 88.7 for every 100,000 children, compared with 52.4 per 100,000 children nationwide (Chandler, Washington Post, 7/21).
The case for improving coordination between behavioral health and pediatrics
The CDC estimates that nearly $247 billion is spent annually on the treatment and management of childhood mental disorders. Further, pediatric patients and caregivers often struggle to access high-quality behavioral health expertise due to a limited number of specialists and fragmented approaches to behavioral health services.
In this presentation, we review the case for improving coordination between behavioral health and pediatrics, and describe four successful models that increase access to behavioral health care.

Delivering a Friction-Free Experience for the Worker from Anywhere in the World
The edge journey is well underway for many organizations as they seek to connect with customers in new ways, improve operationon (IDC) found that three quarters of organizations plan to increase their edge spending over the next two years with an average increase of 37%.
A combination of factors is driving this increased spending at the edge. The performance requirements of expanding workloads and new use cases that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) demand greater compute capacity at the edge. In addition, the amount of data being stored in edge locations is rapidly expanding, and organizations plan to keep this data longer. As a result, the number of physical servers being deployed at the edge is rising. Most of this investment prioritizes the modernization of existing infrastructure in edge locations as opposed to building out new infrastructure.
The survey also found that enterprises deploying edge are highly focused on building scalable businesses with investments that can contribute quickly to the bottom line. The top objectives for edge deployment are increased revenue, improved products and services, and reduced costs. But edge deployments also present important opportunities to fill a niche market or disrupt an existing market.
"Enterprises are signaling that they want the benefits of a cloud operating model with the freedom to deploy anywhere," said Dave McCarthy, research vice president, Cloud and Edge Infrastructure Services at IDC. "This creates tremendous opportunities for technology suppliers that can reduce complexity and maintain consistency in these distributed environments."
"Edge infrastructure deployments are shifting IT back to a more strategic, influential role within the organization," said Jennifer Cooke, research director, Edge Strategies. "The IT organization is both driving and supporting critical digital-first efforts within the broader organization."
Other key findings from the EdgeView 2022 survey include the following:
Organizations rank the ability to integrate edge solutions with legacy infrastructure as a key selection criterion and consider it just as important as price in edge decisions. However, edge management strategies are not tightly integrated with cloud and core, suggesting that organizations may need to revise their management strategy as they seek to leverage core, cloud, and edge resources as a cohesive set of flexible resources.
Organizations will continue to deploy and support many different compute, storage, and network architectures at the edge. Being able to deploy in multiple environments is also a key selection criterion, underscoring an organization's continued plan to extend compute resources into many different types of environments, including in cloud and core datacenters as well as in the field.
Out of necessity and because of the need to leverage cloud resources, edge will continue to be a broad mix of cloud, colocation, field locations, and company-owned datacenters. In the next two years, two thirds of organizations are expected to shift more toward public cloud resources. But overall, all edge types will increase.
Regarding equipment ownership, the majority indicated that their organizations prefer to retain ownership of infrastructure. This will fuel greater demand for flexible consumption models that have the opex benefits of cloud with greater infrastructure ownership and control.
This research is available through the IDC's IDC EdgeView research service, which is part of the IDC BuyerView practice. IDC's EdgeView 2022 survey enables technology organizations, hardware vendors, software developers, services suppliers, and investors to better understand the buying intentions of their customers and to help devise strategies and solutions that address current and emerging use cases for technology and workloads at the edge. This includes outlining the primary motivations for deploying infrastructure and applications closer to where data is generated and consumed, and exploring such aspects as latency, cost, resiliency, security, and compliance.

Record Revenue of $16.1 Million
$0.5 million of Adjusted EMDP, OTCQB: PDDPF) today provided a business update and announced its financial and operating results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019. All dollar amounts below are in Canadian dollars.
Financial highlights1:
Revenue was $16.1 million compared to $3.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018 (Q1 2019)
Gross profit was $9.9 million compared to $1.7 million for Q1 2019
Gross margin was 61.4% compared to 53.5% for Q1 2019
Adjusted EBITDA2 was $0.5 million compared to ($0.3 million) for Q1 2019 (net loss of $2.2 million compared to $0.7 million for Q1 2019)
The Company finished the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $27.4 million
Ken d’Entremont, Chief Executive Officer of Medexus, commented, “I am pleased to report we generated strong year-over-year revenue growth for the first fiscal quarter of 2020. Revenue increased by $12.9 million versus the same period last year, which increase is reflective of both the October 2018 acquisitions and strong organic growth. Importantly, we saw strong growth in each of the key product categories. We were particularly pleased to have achieved positive adjusted EBITDA2 despite incurring incremental expenses related to the sales and marketing ramp-up for the allergy season, as well as our investment in a development project aimed at reformulating an existing FDA-approved product for use in the field of rheumatology. We believe this reformulated product will be complementary and accretive to our existing product portfolio, while at the same time delivering true innovation to address unmet patient needs. We believe these activities will support strong performance in the second quarter and for the balance of the year.”
Operational highlights:
Launch of Metoject® 15mg - On May 1, 2019, the Company launched a new Metoject Subcutaneous 15mg dose in Canada for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The new 15mg dose of Metoject Subcutaneous is an important addition to the Metoject line offered in Canada, and management expects this dose to be a significant portion of our Metoject sales volume going forward. Metoject Subcutaneous 15mg is currently the third leading dose in terms of sales volume in the Company’s Metoject portfolio. Metoject experienced unit market demand growth of 122% in Q1 2020 as compared to Q1 2019.3 Metoject is now publicly reimbursed in Canada, which allows access for a large group of patients who previously could not access the product.
Rasuvo™ Demand Growth – market demand of Rasuvo units increased by approximately 14% in Q1 2020 as compared to Q1 2019.4 This growth reflects strong payor, prescriber and patient acceptance for Rasuvo in the United States. This growth is expected to continue as prescribers adopt the most effective and convenient form of methotrexate for their patients. Management believes the Company is positioned as an emerging leader in the methotrexate auto-injector market.
Rupall™ Demand Growth – market demand of Rupall units has shown very strong growth, increasing by 68% in Q1 2020 as compared to Q1 2019.5 This growth was a result of physicians switching patients from either the generic prescription antihistamines or over-the-counter products. The Company expects Rupall to be a leading prescription anti-histamine in a total market that is valued at $131.4 million, including $42.6 million from the prescription market, which is growing at annual rate of 17%.6 During the three months ended June 30, 2019, Rupall was the fastest growing anti-histamine in the prescription market.7
Ken d’Entremont further commented, “We are excited about the growth opportunities for the existing products within our portfolio. As a result, we are very positive about the outlook for fiscal 2020 as we continue to grow revenue and leverage our North American sales force across products, while maintaining strict financial discipline with respect to expenses. We had $27.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and a working capital surplus of approximately $31.1 million as of June 30, 2019, which means we are well funded to continue our organic growth, license new products, as well as explore opportunistic acquisitions.”
“We are very pleased with the way the team has come together and we are confident that they have built a highly scalable business platform with significant incremental earnings potential this year and in the future” said Peter van der Velden, Chair of the Company’s board of directors. Mr. van der Velden added, “Reflecting that confidence in the future growth of the Company and the board’s and management’s view that the shares of the Company do not reflect their fundamental value, the Company also implemented a normal course issuer bid, pursuant to which the Company has purchased 198,000 of its common shares for cancellation.”
Operating and Financial Results Summary
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, total revenues were $16.1 million, compared to revenue of $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $9.9 million, or 61.4% of sales, compared to $1.7 million, or 53.5% of sales, for the same period last year. The operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.1 million compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
In line with our strategy to develop new products that complement our existing product portfolio and deliver true innovation to address unmet patient needs, during the quarter the Company incurred $0.4 million of expenses related to the aforementioned reformulation of a product for use in the field of rheumatology.
Adjusted EBITDA2 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $0.5 million compared to ($0.3 million) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. Net Loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $2.2 million for Q1 2019 compared to $0.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, gross profit reached $9.9 million compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Gross margin increased to 61.4% compared to 53.5% for the same period last year due to higher gross margins derived from the products acquired as part of the Acquisitions (as defined below).
The improvements in first quarter revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA2 compared to the same period in the prior year are mainly due to the Acquisitions, as well as the increase in gross profit driven by the increase in revenue from the Company’s pre and post-Acquisitions products.

From “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room” to the Catholic church exposé “Mea Maxima Culpa,” Alex Gibney’s documentaries often adopt a straightforward approach to exposing institutional dysfunction. “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief” falls into that tradition. The director’s bracing adaptation of Lawrence Wright’s 2013 book on the religion’s bizarre history is fairly routine in terms of its allegations. But with such outlandish material, that’s more than enough.

By now, there’s nothing entirely fresh about the story of L. Ron Hubbard’s construction of a cult based around far-fetched science fiction conceits and the devious antics that ensued from it — many of which were perpetrated by Hubbard’s tyrannical successor, the elusive David Miscavige. Nevertheless, taking cues from gripping testimonies provided by several high profile former members of the group — including top-level executives and an eloquent Paul Haggis — “Going Clear” delivers an efficient overview of Scientology’s dark history with a cohesive focus on the precision of its corrupt motives.

The first half of “Going Clear” plays as a kind of non-fiction alternative to “The Master,” sketching out the history of Hubbard’s interest in crafting a religion based around his influential book “Dianetics.” Hubbard himself appears in revealing archival footage at the height of his influence, discussing his murky philosophies associated with obtaining harmony through personal recollection.
Gibney contrasts his strange assertions with backstory from Wright as well as former Scientologists who witnessed Hubbard’s nonsensical lectures years ago. As usual, the filmmaker also peppers his narrative with a healthy amount of archival material, including diary entries by Hubbard ex-wife Sarah Northup as she asserts her husband’s desire to “create a religion for success.”
Moving through the decades, “Going Clear” shows the precision of Hubbard’s brainwashing abilities even as he faces scrutiny from the media. Gibney’s subjects explain the dubious E-meter process (“two-thirds of a lie detector test”), the device that leads Scientologists to believe they can expunge their internal conflicts through a meticulous form of verbal repetition.
Though the movie eventually comes around to explaining the ludicrous conceit behind this practice — Hubbard’s assertion that human beings are infected by alien souls — the movie’s meticulous explanation for the test’s seeming effectiveness ensures that “Going Clear” sticks to an empirical approach. With a measured journalistic prowess on par with his source material, Gibney takes nothing for granted.
Even so, there are plenty of gasp-worthy moments, including footage of Scientology gatherings that illustrate the sheer oddities of its operations. These include Miscavige at the Scientology’s lavish gala delivering the eerie pronouncement of Hubbard’s death, and more recent footage that includes a birthday party for Tom Cruise and Scientologists talking former members. One crucial account, from Spanky Taylor, focuses on her efforts to lure John Travolta into the church and essentially trapping him there by providing him with resources to protect his private life. Taylor herself became a victim of the church when she voiced some complaints, lost contact with Travolta and wound up being confined to a home with her infant. Her recollection of escaping the home with her child is the thrilling high point of the movie.
Gibney carefully draws a contrast between the deranged Miscavige and his predecessor, who may very well have felt passionately about the potential for his religion to cure his own psychological ailments. Miscavige’s crazed managerial style is a different story. His obsession with manipulating Cruise’s image for the sake of the church’s massive profile finds its match in the recollections of his ex-adherents, who were subjected to physical abuse from him on a regular basis.
Major voices on that front include former Scientology senior executive Mark Rathbun, whose home is routinely stalked by Miscavige’s camera-wielding henchmen in moments revealed in unsettling home video footage. Rathbun and fellow defector Mike Rinder also recall the leader’s outrageous fixation on destroying Cruise’s marriage to Nicole Kidman. Miscavige, they explain, “went absolutely bonkers” in his fixation on transforming the church into a global superpower.
His machinations are particularly evident in one sequence recounts Miscavige’s ability to circumvent tax audits from the IRS with a series of meticulously designed lawsuits. His celebratory announcement at the annual Scientology gala provides one of many occasions in which the shadowy figure addresses his followers with the confidence of a dictator. Crucial to Miscavige’s schemes is Cruise, who’s seen at one point receiving a luxurious Scientology birthday party — essentially held hostage by the church’s ability to coddle him.
Set to clear-eyed analysis that puts them in context, these clips effectively illustrate the scope of Scientology’s brainwashed masses. But it’s the tales of former members waking up from the madness that give the movie its vibrancy. Unsurprisingly, Haggis emerges as the best storyteller of the bunch, particularly in his recollection of learning the church line about a galactic warlord named Xenu whose evil rulings provide the religion with its inane origin story. His reaction: “The fuck is this?”
Deeply involving in its swirling overview of Scientology’s troubling history, “Going Clear” offers a polished approach to its topic throughout. Gibney uses charts and numerical data to illustrate the church’s expanding influence as it has amassed billions in worth. The movie successfully brings its drama into the present day, though its focus suffers somewhat from a narrow scope. By limiting the talking heads to a handful of well-known defectors and a few prominent journalists, “Going Clear” lacks the immediacy that testimonials from younger defectors could have brought.
But it compensates for that shortcoming with the inspiring commitment of the former Scientologists willing to speak up. As a result, it’s ultimately less about the evils of the church than the motives of the people intent on stopping its oppressive ways. The story closes with the efforts of Scientology critic Jason Beghe to gather many of the film’s subjects in a galvanizing attempt to effect change.
As the heroes of “Going Clear,” they give the movie its underlying value as a form of advocacy. To that end, their reflections unquestionably offer a path for current Scientologists questioning their commitment. The title technically refers to the Scientology concept of cleansing invasive alien “Thetans” from one’s body, but by the end, it has a new context: The defectors have gone clear of the forces that brainwashed them for years, and “Going Clear” is an apt tribute to their defiance.
Grade: B+
“Going Clear” premiered this weekend at the Sundance Film Festival. HBO will release it later this year.

Abstract
Background: Supernumerary teeth are one of the most widely reported and significant anomaly in patients affecting the primary and early mixed dentition. Aim: To describe the distribution and characteristics of the supernumerary teeth in South Indian population of paediatric patients. Design: In a 12 year retrospective study, a total of 63,569 patients up to the age of 14 years who visited our department between June 2003 and May 2013 were revised.790 cases of supernumerary teeth were found. Patients were evaluated for age, sex, site, status of dentition, number, position, orientation and type of supernumerary teeth. Statistical analysis was carried out using chi square test. Results: 790 subjects with supernumerary teeth (481 males and 309 females) were detected, revealing male-female ratio of 1.55:1.The most common supernumerary teeth were mesiodens (82.28%), the most common site was the anterior maxilla (92.53%)region. Majority of patients had a single erupted supernumerary oriented straight in the arch. Patients in mixed dentition stage reported with maximum number of supernumerary teeth. Conclusions: The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in non syndromicSouth Indian paediatric population is 1.24% with slight male predilection and conical mesiodens being the commonest.

Availabents, affecting the primary and early mixed dentition. This may be visible in the oral cavity, or may be revealed as a chance finding on the radiograph or as a cause of an impacted permanent tooth.
Supernumerary teeth are teeth or tooth substance in exc male predilection. Supernumerary teeth may occur in any area of the dental arch, may be single or multiple, present unilaterally or bilaterally, malformed morphologically or normal in size and shape, straight or inverted in position and may be erupted or impacted. Cases involving one or two supernumerary teeth show a predilection for the anterior maxilla, followed by the mandibular premolar region. In other regions, differences have been reported in the relative frequency of these teeth. Cases involving multiple supernumeraries (more than five) tend to are most commonly seen the mandibular premolar region. [1]
Multiple supernumerary teeth are usually associated with conditions like cleidocranialdysostosis, Gardner's syndrome, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome More Details and cleft lip and palate. [3] Supernumerary teeth, whether impacted or erupted may remain in position for years together, without causing any disturbances and clinical manifestations. However, in some cases, they may cause complications like impaction of permanent teeth, delayed or ectopic eruption of adjacent teeth, malocclusions like midline diastema or crowding and formation of cysts with bone destruction and root resorption of adjacent teeth. [4]
Classification
Various theories have been formulated to describe the etiology of supernumerary teeth, which include the atavism theory, dichotomy theory and dental lamina hyperactivity theory as well as genetic and environment factors. Most of the literature on supernumerary teeth supports the dental lamina hyperactivity theory. [2] Available literature from studies conducted in different parts of the world does present with impressive data. However there is no large scale study reported in South Indian pediatric population.
Therefore, the current study was aimed at 14 years and diagnosed as having supernumerary teeth were included for the study. The patients were non-syndromic and free from any disease. The inclusion data gathered was age, sex, gender, number of supernumerary teeth, type and morphology of supernumerary teeth, localization and whether it is erupted or impacted and whether it is straight or inverted.
Results
Of these 790 patients, 481 (60.89%) were males and 309 (39.11%) were females [Graph 1]. The male to female ratio was 1.55:1. Out of 790 patients, 481 patients (60.89%) with supernumerary teeth were in mixed dentition stage, 225 (28.48%) patients in the permanent dentition stage and 84 in the primary dentition stage, which accounts to 10.63%, a significant finding [Graph 2]. A total of 650 (82.28%) patients reported with mesiodens, 66 (8.35%) patients had supplemental type, 15 (1.9%) patients had molariform, 4 (0.51%) patients had tuberculate and 4 (0.51%) patients had odontome type of supernumerary teeth. 51 (6.46%) patients showed combination of various types of supernumerary teeth [Graph 3]. 31 (92.53%) patients had supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxilla, 24 (3.04%) patients had in posterior maxilla and mandible and 11 (1.39%) patients reported with supernumerary teeth in the anterior mandible [Graph 4]. Majority of patients (88.61%) presented with one supernumerary tooth,11.14% patients reported with two supernumerary teeth and only 0.25% patients reported with three supernumerary teeth [Table 1]. 651 patients had erupted supernumerary teeth, 75 patients had impacted supernumerary and remaining patients had both erupted and impacted [Graph 5]. A total of 751 patients had supernumerary teeth, which were oriented straight and the remaining (39) were inverted [Graph 6].

Discussion
Supernumerary teeth are relatively common developmental anomalies encountered in pediatric patients.
The present study included 790 children between 3 and 14 years with primary, mixed and permanent dentitions. Supernumerary teeth have been reported in both males and females. Various studies have described the prevalence and gender predilection of these teeth in different populations. Ersin et al. [5] described the prevalence with a frequency of about 0.10% to 6% in permanent dentition and 0.02-1.9% in the primary dentition. Shah et al. [6] reported that prevalence ranges between 0.3% and 0.8% in the primary dentition and 0.1-3.8% in the permanent dentition and that males are affected approximately twice as often as females.
The study showed a relative male predominance (1.5:1) which is in close agreement with studies conducted by Gábris et al. [7] - (1.4:1); Brook [8] - (1.4:1) and Fernández Montenegro et al. [9] - (1.4:1). However Giancotti A et al and Berrocal et al., found no difference between the sexes. [10],[11]
In this study, supernumerary teeth showed 92.53%, predilection for the premaxilla, which is also seen in many published studies. [12],[13] The lower incisor region showed a prevalence of about 1.39% in our study, in contrast to 2.7% in Yassin and Hamori. [2] The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in posterior segment of maxilla and mandible was 3.04%.
The most common morphology of supernumerary teeth was conical type (82.28%), which is in agreement with various studies. [2],[13],[14],[15],[16] This was followed by supplemental type (8.35%), tuberculate form of supernumerary was reported in about only 0.51% of the studies, which is different from other studies. Interestingly, patients with more than one supernumerary tooth showed different combinations of supernumerary teeth. The odontome type of supernumerary teeth was reported in only about 0.51% of the cases, which is low when compared to study carried out by Rajab and Hamdan, [13] who reported a prevalence of odontome as 6.4%.
The study also interestingly showed 1.9% of molariform type of supernumerary teeth, as compared to other studies where relatively it is a rare finding. [1],[3 ],[4],[ 7]
Supernumerary may occur as a single tooth, or may be more than one in number. In the present study, 88.61% had a single supernumerary tooth, 11.14% had two supernumerary teeth and only 0.25% had more than two supernumerary teeth. These observations are in support with reported studies. [2],[13],[17],[18]
Supernumerary teeth may erupt in the oral cavity, or remain impacted. Supernumerary teeth, impacted or erupted may remain in position for years together, without causing any disturbances and clinical manifestations. However, in some cases, they may cause complications like impaction of permanent teeth, delayed or ectopic eruption of adjacent teeth, malocclusions like midline diastema or crowding and formation of cysts with bone destruction and root resorption of adjacent teeth. [20] These can cause potential harm to the developing occlusion in a child patient, which can be difficult to intervene or may require aggressive treatment at a later stage.
If more than one supernumerary tooth is present, then one of them may be erupted, while the other impacted. In the current study, 82.41% were erupted, 9.49% were impacted and 8.10% were both impacted and erupted.
Majority of the supernumerary teeth are oriented straight in the arch (crown toward the oral cavity) and erupted in the oral cavity. The inverted (root toward the oral cavity) supernumerary teeth are generally impacted. The study also showed the same. 95.06% were oriented straight and 4.94% were inverted. This is in agreement with Liu, Yassin and Hamori and Rajab and Hamdan study. [2],[13],[19] Knowledge about the supernumerary teeth can enable pediatric dentist in early diagnosis, intervention and prevent many possible complications associated with supernumerary teeth.

Health & Fitnes Ga?
anneblg Others May 4, 2021
The Condition of Georgia is going through a price range shortfall for fiscal 2009 of more than $two Billion. And states do not have the luxury of running deficit spending, and printing up paper money to protect the shortfall. State budgets have to be balanced each and every yr. So, Ga wants to give critical consideration to a new revenue stream.
State Rep. Roger Bruce (D-Atlanta) has announced his intention to introduce a invoice in the 2009 legislative session to allow voters to determine if they want gaming in Ga. His bill would pely and recent governors have been cool to the thought of casinos in Georgia. คาสิโนออนไลน์ เครดิตฟรี But the legislature has never authorized any gaming proposal to be voted on in a general referendum or any other popular vote.
The large query is: Must gambling be manufactured lawful in the point out of Georgia?
Response Number 1: In a cost-free society, men and women are free to use their cash flow and property whichever way they decide on. There must be no moral, ethical, or even Biblical sanction against gambling. Some men and women believe that gambling is a sin, but a sin ought to not be made illegal when it does not initiate drive or fraud in opposition to another specific. Explained yet another way, if I use my income to gamble with, it truly is my enterprise.
Reply Amount Two: The Point out legislators have presently settled any moral trepidations they could have ever experienced in excess of gambling. It is presently authorized below in Georgia in one sort. Fifteen a long time in the past, lottery gambling became authorized in Ga, and to date, has generated over $15 Billion in tax earnings. Sales for fiscal 12 months 2008 climbed to a record-breaking $3.5 billion, exceeding the earnings produced throughout fiscal year 2007. So, the State of Georgia has currently been in the gaming company for above fifteen many years. On line casino gambling is basically an additional sort of gambling. Nonetheless, with casino gambling, the point out will not have the monopoly, but private enterprise will own and work the casinos.
With a 15-calendar year background of profitable gaming under its belt, it is likely to be quite challenging for the Ga Basic Assembly to refuse on line casino gambling without having exhibiting huge hypocrisy. But enormous hypocrisy has not stopped them in the past.
But, what about other states in which gaming is authorized? What has their experience been?
To discover out, I went to the website of the American Gaming Affiliation in Washington, DC.
In Nevada, the granddaddy of them all, the place gaming commenced in 1931, tax revenues from gaming have been a massive element of the state funds. In 2006, Nevada gaming had 201,000 personnel and tax revenues have been $1.034 Billion. Nevada’s price range for 2009 is set at $six Billion, so gaming revenue contains about seventeen% of that state’s whole cash flow each year.
Mississippi legalized gaming in 1990, passed by legislation and neighborhood choice vote. There are 30,500 gaming personnel, and tax profits for 2006 was $350.forty four Million.
Louisiana legalized gambling in 1993, handed by laws and neighborhood choice vote. Tax earnings very last 12 months was $559 million, one more $sixty eight million from racetrack casinos, with twenty,three hundred gaming staff.
Michigan legalized gambling in 1996 by statewide referendum, regional alternative vote and laws. Michigan has 3 casinos that generated 2006 tax profits of $365 million.
So we see right here that other states have long histories of good results with casino gambling.
Casino gambling would be a welcome addition to the conference organization in Atlanta and other Georgia cities. Las Vegas has been stealing away convention organization for several years now with their gaming and entertainment points of interest. The Georgia hospitality and cafe industries would also get an infusion of enterprise as they support gaming tourism.
Atlanta has an additional aggressive gain as a gaming spot…Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, the busiest airport in the world. It is been said that you can not even get to heaven without having connecting by means of Atlanta. Our existence as a Southern regional transportation hub makes Atlanta an simple gaming location for the two thirds of the inhabitants of the US that lives east of the Mississippi River.
Casino gambling can be a valuable addition to the economic climate of Georgia. I hope that the Ga Common Assembly can locate its courage and conscience and votes in favor of casino gambling in the 2009 Legislative Session.
Now, I’d like to provide you two particular stories at no value. 1 is “5 Items To Do When Buying For Auto Insurance policies,” and the other is “five Factors To Steer clear of When Shopping For Auto Insurance policy.” Every one particular is a $9.ninety five value, but cost-free to you when you signal up for my e-newsletter at the internet site address underneath.

Ryuichi Sakamoto dismisses plagiarism concerns, doesn’t care if Yoo Hee Yeol made a soundalike of his song
IATFBucer, singer (and everything) Ryuichi Sakamoto has unexpectedly been in headlines in Korea recently after Yoo Hee Yeol released a statement of apology to him for unconsciously using similar chords to Sakamoto’s “Aqua” in his song, “A Most Private Evening“.
“First and foremost, I would like to offer an apology. Since fall of last year, I have participated in a project called ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Life Music’, where I release a piano accompaniment piece each month. On June 14, I was notified through Instagram that the second piece from that project, ‘A Most Private Evening’, sounds similar to ‘Aqua’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Ryuichi Sakamoto is an artist that I have respected for the longest time, an artist who has influenced my music the most of any artists out there. It seems that I unconsciously composed similar chords to the chords that lingered in my head, and what I believed to be a pure product of my own creation turned out to be a piece similar to an already existing one. This, I cannot deny. Thus, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for my failure in thoroughly examining the piece, and for disappointing many of you. I want to above all apologize to teacher Ryuichi Sakamoto and his fans for causing this issue. The release of the ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Life Music LP’ has been postponed, and through direct communication with Ryuichi Sakamoto, I plan to handle all matters regarding proper crediting and composition rights.”
Coolly though, Sakamoto didn’t seem fussed, responding to the public apology by essentially saying there’s no need for legal to get involved, soundalikes aren’t a big deal, and that’s how music goes basically.
“I appreciate my fans who reported the incident to me and Mr. Hee Yeol Yoo’s honest intention to speak publicly about the song. The music has similarities, but I don’t think it is on the level of requiring any legal actions to protect my piece ‘Aqua.’ I can see his great respect for my composition. I have some pieces that have obvious strong influences from Bach and Debussey, whom I love, respect, and from whom I have learned a lot. I don’t mean to put myself on the same level as Bach and Debussey, so please don’t get me wrong. Every creation is influenced by existing arts (the public domain). It would be great and appreciated if you could put 5-10% of your originality into it. That is my long-time opinion. I am still trying my best to raise my originality percentage on every music I create, which is challenging. But that makes the art beautiful, I think. I thank Mr. Hee Yeol Yoo and my fans’ generous support. Good luck with Mr. Hee Yeol Yoo’s new album. I wish him the best.”
Emphasis mine.
It’s basically why I hate so many of these accounts dedicated to finding soundalikes and then whining about plagiarism, so it’s extremely cool for such a legend to have this outlook on the copyright mess in music. It’s really not so much about this individual case’s ‘did he or didn’t he’ debate for me, it’s about the larger discourse around it — especially now that people realized you could get ignorant juries to confound soundalike and plagiarism — and how it hampers music, so this was refreshing.

Delhi, April 28
A community service centre has been set up to bring all data on board India’s first dedicated solar space mission to a single web-based interface enabling the users to quickly look at the data and identify the interesting science cases.
The service centre called Aditya-L1 Support Cell (AL1SC), a joint effort of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences used by the guest observers in analyzing science data and preparing science observing proposals.
AL1SC set up at the transit campus of ARIES at Haldwani, Uttarakhand, will jointly work with ISRO to maximize utilization of science data from Aditya-L1 and facilitate India’s first dedicated solar space mission- Aditya-L1.
The centre will act as conduit between the users (student and faculty members from research Institutes/ Universities/ Colleges etc.) and payload teams of Aditya-L1 and solar astronomy research community at large. It is slated to develop specific tools to assist guest observers/researchers to prepare observing proposals for Aditya-L1 observations and will assist ISRO with the design and development of the required analysis software for handling scientific data.
The centre will also provide the co-aligned data from other observatories around the world that can complement the data obtained from Aditya-L1 allowing users to accomplish the science goals beyond the capabilities of the Aditya-L1.
Combining data from other observatories will be helpful in building a solar features event knowledgebase which will be the compendium of different solar features seen on the surface of the Sun and in the heliosphere. This knowledge base will be immensely useful for the scientific community in connecting the features in heliosphere to the surface of the Sun.
In addition to this AL1SC will also build capacity by establishing periodic training of the national user community on data analysis and proposal preparation. Short workshops of 2-3 days durations at different locations in India will be held focusing on universities who do not have access for downloading and analyzing the Aditya-L1 data. Further, AL1SC has also planned to schedule frequent E-workshops and tutorials using online platforms.
The centre will expand reach of Aditya-L1 not only within India, but also increase the visibility of the mission at the international level. It will allow every interested individual to be able to perform scientific analysis of the data.

France, United Arab Emirates sign deal on energy cooperation

French President Emmanuel Macron waves next to Chief of Staff Gen Thierry Burkhard during the Bastille Day parade Thursday, July 14, 2022 in Paris. France is celebrating its national holiday with thousands of French strategic importance: it allows us to address the pressing challenges of energy security in the short term, while preparing for a de-carbonized future,” French Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in a statement.
The ministry did not provide details on the agreement.
Other trade and energy agreements are expected to be signed during Sheikh Mohammed’s first state visit to France since he was appointed president of the Western-allied nation of seven sheikhdoms in May. They include an agreement between the French energy giant TotalEnergies and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to ensure energy supply, the economy ministry said.
France has deep ties to the UAE, and the two leaders have developed a personal relationship. It paid off during Macron’s visit to Abu Dhabi last year that resulted in a 16 billion-euro ($18 billion) arms deal with the Gulf ally, the largest-ever French weapons contract for export.
Their meeting Monday comes as the war in Ukraine rages into the sixth month and Europe is in the grip of a sweltering heat wave. European countries are bracing for a potential Russian gas shutdown amid soaring energy prices, inflation and a cost-of-living crisis across the 27-member bloc.
Russia has cut off or reduced natural gas — which keeps industry running, generates electricity and heats homes in the winter — to a dozen European countries. A major gas pipeline also closed for scheduled maintenance last week, and there are fears that flows through Nord Stream 1 between Russia and Germany will not restart.
Leaders have been scrambling to fill underground storage by the beginning of fall in an effort to avert an economic and political crisis in winter. Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi is visiting Algeria on Monday to finalize deals boosting natural gas supplies from the North African country to Italy, while EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was in Azerbaijan to clinch a deal with President Ilham Aliyev on increased gas supplies.
Macron said last week that his government would prepare a “sobriety plan” to conserve energy and that France keeps looking to diversify gas sources. He called for a faster shift toward offshore windfarms and more European cross-border energy cooperation “as we prepare ourselves for the scenario where we have to go without all Russian gas.”
Le Maire said last month that the country has been in discussions with the UAE regarding supplies of oil and diesel to find “an alternative to Russian petrol.”
TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in Parliament last week that the French energy giant is “discussing an agreement to have access to diesel and fuel from the Emirates this winter.”
He said the company’s efforts are part of the French initiative to secure sufficient energy and make up for the loss of Russian supplies.
The UAE’s energy exports to France are dominated by refined petroleum products and reached the record sum of 1.5 billion euros in 2019.
The U.S. Energy Information Agency cites figures estimating the UAE holds the seventh-largest proven reserves of natural gas in the world, at over 215 trillion cubic feet. The country, which lies on the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula along the Persian Gulf, is among world’s 10 largest oil producers, with most of country’s oil and gas wealth concentrated in Abu Dhabi.
Human rights groups have called on Macron to remind his UAE counterpart of his country’s poor human rights record.
“For years, the UAE has systematically crushed dissent,” Human Rights Watch said in a statement ahead of Monday’s visit. “Activists, lawyers, teachers, students, and those deemed critics are arrested, prosecuted, and detained, women and LGBT people face discrimination.”

The goals of the test well program were to demonstrate that carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas generated during the fuel production process, can be safely and securely stored deep underground and that the storage reservoir has sufficient capacity to store all the gas produced over the plant’s lifetime. Completing the test well program is an essential pre-requisite for securing the permit for the EPA Class VI sequestration well.
“Carbon capture and permanent geologic sequestration is no longer a hypothetical scenario for Louisiana Green Fuels — successful completion of the test well is a major milestone that’s not been achieved by any other renewable diesel project,” said Dr. Paul Schubert, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Biofuels. “These results enable us to move forward knowing that combining CCS with conversion of sustainable forestry waste to renewable diesel at our project site will enable us to achieve our deeply negative carbon footprint goal. Deep carbon negativity greatly increases the potential carbon credit revenues from our fuel and vastly improves the project’s returns. What’s set us apart from other developers was recognizing that the de-risking we could achieve with the test well more than justified the multi-million-dollar expenditure for the program at this early stage.”
The design and execution of the test well program was developed by Chief Operating Officer Bob Meredith with help from Geostock Sandia, an international consulting firm that has worked with the Department of Energy on carbon sequestration wells for almost two decades. Notably the program used oil field workers and traditional oilfield equipment to advance this green energy project.
Engineering phase next for LGF
Strategic Biofuels is now moving into a phase of engineering design for the plant that will give even greater clarity on the overall, long-term costs of the project, while also applying for the required regulatory permits and putting third party contracts in place.
“It’s easy to get excited about what the success of this sequestration test well means to the economic development for Caldwell Parish and the State of Louisiana, but we still have a lot of work to do entering an aggressive capital raise,” added Meredith. “What we have been able to accomplish could very well be a blueprint for the renewable energy industry that is working to address our country’s carbon footprint far into the future.”
Although the data collection from the CCS test well is done, it will remain in place as a monitoring well once the plant is complete and carbon dioxide injection begins in its Class VI well. The current project schedule is for the plant to be mechanically complete in mid-2025 and achieve full commercial operation in late 2025.
The first carbon negative plant demonstrating circular economy tenets
Located on a 171-acre site at the Port of Columbia, the LGF plant will affordably convert forestry waste feedstock into cleaner-burning renewable diesel and is projected to produce 33.7 million gallons of renewable fuel per year once in operation.
LGF has secured a 20-year agreement with an established, bankable feedstock supplier for delivery of compliant feedstock to the plant, ensuring long-term and cost-effective supply. The waste material will be in-woods processed and delivered as sized chips. The cleaner, renewable fuels produced at the plant will be transported to California by rail for one of the largest truck stop operators in the country through a 20-year offtake agreement, which includes purchase of all the site’s Federal (RFS) and California (LCFS) carbon credits. These agreements provide financial stability for the plant, while demonstrating a circular economy cycle often not achieved due to lack of scalability.
Just like synthetic motor oil is superior to traditional motor oil, LGF’s synthetic renewable diesel will be superior to both fossil diesel and biodiesel. If used unblended it would dramatically reduce engine emissions by up to 80 percent including the smoke and soot which are normally associated with fossil diesel. Not only is it cleaner burning, it is also non-toxic and biodegradable.
Led by a strong management team with invaluable experience
The management team that Schubert has put together has set them up for early success. Schubert has 35 years of experience in the petrochemical and renewable fuels industry and was formally COO of Velocys, an international sustainable fuels company. Meredith has almost 50 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. The Company’s other team members, Victor Filatov (CFO), Dr. Robert Freerks (VP Products), and Paul Oesterreich (VP Sales & Marketing) have long track records of success in the renewable energy industry and bring expertise in renewable energy project finance, carbon credit and fuel marketing and fuel quality development.
About Strategic Biofuels
Strategic Biofuels LLC is a team of O&G, petrochemical and renewable technology gurus focused on developing a series of deeply negative carbon footprint plants in northern Louisiana that convert waste materials from managed forests into renewable diesel fuel and renewable naphtha. The fuel qualifies for substantial Carbon Credits under the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard Program (RFS) and under the California Low Carbon Fuels Standard (LCFS).
About Louisiana Green Fuels
Louisiana Green Fuels (LGF) is the first project by Strategic Biofuels LLC in Northern Louisiana at the Port of Columbia in Caldwell Parish.

Getting big leads has been relatively easy for the Boston Celtics in these Eastern Conference finals.
This time, they also found a way to finish the job.
And just like that, the East title series got a whole lot closer.
Jaylen Brown scored 26 points, Jayson Tatum added 25 and the Celtics got right back into the East finals with a 117-106 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 3 on Saturday night. Kemba Walker added 21 to help Boston pull to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Marcus Smart scored 20 points for Boston, going 9 for 9 from the foul line in the fourth quarter. The Celtics — who also got 14 rebounds and eight assists from Tatum — outscored Miami 60-36 inside the paint, led by as many as 20 and never trailed.
The Celticser Herro scored 22 points, Jimmy Butler had 17, and Duncan Robinson 13.
The Heat rallied from 14 points down to win Game 1 in overtime, 17 points down to win Game 2, but never caught up Saturday — though they put together a late run to make matters interesting.
They got within eight on a 3-pointer by Robinson with 1:12 left, setting the tone for the Celtics to scramble at the end. Brown committed a flagrant foul nine seconds later, and Robinson made one of two free throws to cut Boston’s lead to 109-102.
Adebayo scored on the ensuing possession to get Miami within five and cap a 24-9 run, but the Heat got no closer.
Herro had 16 points in the second quarter alone to keep Miami close, the last of those 16 coming on a 3-pointer with 3:22 left before halftime to cut Boston’s lead to 51-48.
That’s when the Celtics started to run away.
Boston got three consecutive fast-break scores in a span of 48 seconds to push its lead back to 10, and after a late 3-pointer by Walker it was 63-50 at the break.
And when Miami tried another comeback in the third, Boston again had a late-in-the-quarter answer.
The Heat went on an 11-1 run to get to 82-73 on a layup by Herro with 1:08 left in the third, and Boston answered with the next seven points — needing just 32.9 seconds to get them.
Goran Dragic had 11 for Miami and Jae Crowder finished with 10. The Heat were 12 for 44 from 3-point range.
Tip-ins
Celtics: This is the 124th series in Boston playoff history, and the Celtics have trailed 3-0 in only seven of them. … Brown and Tatum now have eight games each of at least 20 points so far in these playoffs. … Gordon Hayward made his return after missing a month with a sprained right ankle, scoring six points in 31 minutes.
Heat: Even with the loss, Miami matched the best 12-game start to any postseason in team history — now 10-2. The Heat also started postseasons that way in 2005, 2012 and 2013. … Miami never led, marking the first time that happened in the team’s last 70 games. The only other instance of that this season for the Heat was Nov. 23 against Philadelphia.
Road, sweet road
Games in the bubble still count toward “home” and “road” records. The road-designated team has won the last 12 games in which Boston has played — and in the playoffs, road teams are now 39-31. That ties the NBA record for road wins in any postseason; teams were 39-50 on the road in the 2014 playoffs. The road winning percentage this postseason (.557 right now) would also be an NBA record; the current mark is .519, set in 1966 when road teams went 14-13.
Rare break
Partly to allow the Western Conference finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets to catch up, the Heat and Celtics won’t play Game 4 until Wednesday. Game 2 of Lakers-Nuggets is Sunday, followed by Game 3 on Tuesday. From there, both series will have an every-other-day format.

Mutton chops and door knockers, face fungus and designer stubble – Lucinda Hawksley at the Christchurch Art Gallery, WORD Christchurch
13 Fe hair, so I was delighted to discover that this was the topic of a talk by Lucinda Hawksley at the Christchurch Art Gallery on Sunday, presented by WORD Christchurch. On a rainy Canterbury afternoon an audience of bearded and un-bearded alike almost filled the Art Gallery’s auditorium to hear all about the fascinating history of facial hair from ancient Mesopotamia to the modern hipster, and all points in between.
This is happening at @ChchArtGallery today! Come along and escape the rain. #books @WORDChCh
— Lucinda Hawksley (@lucindahawksley) February 10, 2018
Using pictures mostly taken from the National Portrait Gallery, Lucinda’s fascinating talk focused mostly on European examples, but we also heard about how dangerous and painful it must have been to have your face shaved in ancient Egypt (apparently they used sharp flints and mussel shells, risking nasty cuts and blood poisoning), and how the ancient Egyptians liked to be buried wearing false beards (women and babies included!). Since then beards have fallen, periodically, in and out of fashion. Initially popular in Ancient Greece (where they implied high status and masculine beauty), but less so in Ancient Rome, they lost favour after Alexander The Great insisted that his soldiers should be clean shaven. Throughout history, beards have been associated with barbarians, although the often cited etymological link between them appears to be less clear cut. In medieval times, suits of armour were often designed to accommodate the long and luxuriously flowing facial hair that was common at the time.

As Lucinda’s talk entered the early modern era, the focus switched to British beards, and we discovered the astonishing fact that periods when beards were in highest fashion seem to coincide with female monarchs. The reigns of Queens Elizabeth I, Victoria, and Elizabeth II were all times when beards flourished, and in the first two cases, the subsequent ascension of a King to the throne resulted in an immediate and rapid decline in facial hair. Interestingly, more recently, men have grown longer beards at times when women’s rights movements have been particularly strong (e.g. women’s suffrage in the late Victorian period, women’s lib in the 1960s, etc.).
Lucinda’s talk was richly illustrated with portraits of famously bearded men from the extremely fashionable, and much emulated, pencil-thin moustache of Lord Byron, (which would appear again in the 20th century as the Hollywood moustache of Clark Gable, Erroll Flynn, and others), to the sumptuous sideburns of Charles James Napier, the extraordinary neck-beard of Robert Browning, and the familiar “door knocker” beard of Charles Dickens (Lucinda’s who started his foray into facial hair by entering a moustache-growing competition and then got hooked, despite his family’s protestations). We are also shown the glorious mutton chops of Dickens’s illustrator, George Cruikshank. (Apparently Charles Darwin replaced Dickens on the British £10 note because his beard is more difficult to forge.) We also learned the different outcomes that being a bearded women can bring, depending on the times, from ruthless exploitation as a freak (Barbara Urselin), to admiration as an unusual sex symbol (Annie Jones).
The greatest flourishing of the beard came in the late Victorian period after soldiers returned from the Crimean War with large beards necessitated by the extreme cold and lack of shaving facilities, making beards a mark of the hero. Coinciding with the women’s suffrage movement, this beard craze affected all levels of society, and for the first time facial hair was no longer a signifier of class. (Prior to the invention of the safety razor, regular shaves were largely the preserve of the well-heeled). During this era, barbers had a hard time of it and had to come up with inventive ways of making a living, with aggressive marketing of hair dyes and oils, leading to advent of the antimacassar.

By Edwardian times the beard had all but gone, with the novelist Frank Richardson labelling it “face fungus”, and the final death knell came with World War I and the need for close-fitting gas masks. Despite some notable exceptions, e.g. Salvador Dali (“the most famous moustache in history”), and the Handlebar Club (founded in 1947 and still going strong, requiring the growth of a moustache with “graspable extremities”), facial hair was largely gone until the 1960s when it reappeared with the hippy movement and again, as history repeated itself one more time, was correlated with a period of women’s lib. We were finally brought up to date via Tom Selleck’s moustache, and the designer stubble of the 1980s, to the recent hipster beard and the controversy surrounding Conchita Wurst. The audience were captivated by these tales of the hirsute, and the hour seemed to fly by. Lucinda has a real gift for storytelling and there is so much more to learn about the history of facial hair in her recent book “Moustaches, Whiskers & Beards”, on which her talk was based.
Moustaches, Whiskers & Beards
(Not that’s not Rasputin on the cover, in fact it’s a young George Bernard Shaw, someone we’re more used to seeing depicted in old age.)
If facial hair isn’t your thing (perhaps you have pogonophobia?), Lucinda has written many other books on an impressively wide range of other topics.

For more fun with beards, the library has all sorts of great stuff including a graphic novel about a “Gigantic Beard That Was Evil”, manuals on how to grow a handsome beard, and even a couple of children’s books.

Vegan cravings, cappuccino, and the quest for vegan cheese recipes – Overview of all vegan cheese recipes on this site.
A couple lt like an eternity at the time. I told her that I would take on the challenge provided I could find a plant-based alternative for the cappuccino that I made myself every morning. Nice creamy foamy cappuccino … I could not imagine life without it!
I set off for a well-known coffee store and ordered myself a soy latte, which was surprisingly drinkable! As you probably can guess, I did take on the challenge and completed it without too many hiccups. Surprisingly – most of all to myself – I did not return to using animal-based milk and still make myself my daily cappuccino with plant-based milk. My favorite brand is WestSoy unsweetened organic soymilk. By the way, you don’t need a fancy espresso machine to foam milk. I use a French press and it works like a charm.
Even though my cappuccino cravings had been satisfied, the cravings for cheese and yogurt were an entirely different matter. None of the commercially available alternative were remotely palatable – I am referring here to the period 2012 through 2015 – at least not the ones that I had access to in the smaller cities where I was living.
Come 2016/2017, I discovered different group on Facebook that focused on vegan cheeses and yogurts. Those groups and the cookbooks they were often talking about (Non-Dairy Evaluation cookbook by the Gentle Chef, Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner) helped me get more serious about making and creating vegan cheeses and other non-dairy. Prior to that, I had made a couple of vegan cheeses – typically made with agar agar – with varying degrees of success in terms of taste and consistency. By the way, I really recommend both those books if you want to learn more about vegan cheese making. If you can’t get them from your local library, here are links to places that sell them. The links given are NOT affiliate links.
The Gentle Chef, Non-Dairy-Evolution Cookbook
Miyoko Schinner, Artisan Vegan Cheese
I have learned a tremendous amount in the last year about both vegan cheese making and vegan yogurt making. I now have ingredients in my pantry (lactic acid, kappa carrageenan) that sound as if they have escaped from a chemistry lab rather than being part and parcel of an amateur’s kitchen!
As I posted about my vegan cheese making experiments on Facebook, I discovered that there is an almost insatiable hunger for vegan cheese recipes. It didn’t matter if I posted about a cheese failure or posted a picture of a cheese that did not look terribly appetizing, the standard comment appeared to be “recipe please?”
To help satisfy the recipe hunger, I have placed links to all the vegan cheeses that are on the Cilantro Roots website in this blog post. Over the next couple of weeks, I will gradually be uploading more of my vegan cheese recipes. Whenever I do that, I will also update this blog post to include those new recipes.
Happy vegan growing, cooking, and eating!

Each cultural venue will provide information on the cancelled and postponed events on their website, together with instructions on how to return pre-purchased tickets.
Libraries and museums will remain open. However, arrangements are made on the premises to prevent the risk of infection caused by close contact between participants and groups. Museums require visitors to show their Covid passport. Libraries do not require a Covid passport.
Sports: swimming pools and indoor sports facilities closed for two weeks
Swimming pools and other indoor sports facilities will be closed for two weeks starting from 28 December. The Covid passport cannot be used as an alternative to these restrictions.
However, guided recreational activities for under 18-year-olds and the training of professional athletes may continue in these facilities. In addition, the facilities may be used for providing statutory services, such as medical rehabilitation.
Children’s and young people’s recreational activities may continue
Facilities to which the closure decision applies may still be used for guided recreational activities for children and young people born in or after 2004.
However, the health and safety of participants must be ensured.
Providers of basic education in the arts and recreational activities in the fields of sports and culture will receive further instructions in week 52.

Jammu: Nve ease of doing business, an official said on Wednesday.
Commissioner Secretary, Labour and Employment Department, Saurabh Bhagat made the announcement while speaking at a meeting convened to finalise the Jammu and Kashmir Rules for Labour Codes at the Civil Secretariat here, the official said.
The codes have been drafted in a manner which will help in the overall upliftment of the workforce in Jammu and Kashmir, he said.
Bhagat maintained that with the implementation of these codes, labour sector in the region would come at par with the rest of the country and will increase the wages among the workforce.
This will also improve ease of doing business in J&K, he said.
The commissioner secretary said codes would devolve more powers to implementing agencies to penalise private institutions and other job providers who underpay their workers and employees.
The new codes also mandate gratuity even if a worker has been employed for one day only, he said.
Bhagat claimed Jammu and Kashmir is the first in the country to formulate and notify these draft rules, adding that Jammu and Kashmir has been given the powers to draft its own version of the national policy.
The Central government has combined 29 existing labour laws and reorganised them into four codes — wages, industrial relations, social security and occupational safety, health and working conditions, the official said.
Numerous highlights of these codes include fixation of a nationwide minimum wage by the centre, bonus calculation and payment, payment of gratuity on pro rata basis, prohibition of lay-offs and social security for formal and informal workers, the official said. PTI

Research context
As the police adapt to new ways of working, there is a pressing need to share innovations and best practices locally and nationally. COVID-19 has acted as a catalyst for innovation and provided a unique opportunity for the police to identify new workplace learnings, for example, what types of innovation worked well, did not work well and what to carry forward beyond the crisis.
From these insights, it is possible to conclude what innovations lead to important outcomes and how these can be sustained over time. We hope that this research will contribute with new knowledge as to how policing can be delivered differently in the future, based on emerging innovative work practices that have been enacted during the pandemic.
The specific aims of this project are to:
understand how police are adapting to new digital, remote work practices and the effects of this on policing
work with policymakers to produce evidence-based policy guidance for policing during the pandemic and beyond
Research methodology
We will undertake two key research activities at an individual and strategic level utilising a mixed methods approach.
Firstly, a representative quantitative online survey to understand the scale and effect of changing police work practices. The survey will focus on the use of digital technology, and how police change and adapt their work practices for COVID-19, and what new practices are emerging.
Secondly, a series of short interviews with police and an online workshop at a strategic level with key policing stakeholders. The purpose is to facilitate knowledge exchange of best practice across police services and develop evidence-based policy moving beyond COVID-19.

County Kildare Chamber calls for greater Gender Equality measures ahead of International Women’s Day
Home Equality measures ahead of International Women’s Day
Posted on 06/03/2020 09/04/2020 by Jennifer Forster in Chamber News, Latest News, Members News, Press Releasesy improve labour participation and work with business in transforming our workplaces, making them more flexible and inclusive. In particular, The Chamber calls for action on reducing the gender gaps in employment, pay and pensions
Speaking this morning (6 March 2020) after the Chamber’s International Women’s Day breakfast in Palmerstown House, Chamber CEO Allan Shine said,
“The best way for Kildare and Ireland to remain competitive and sustainable as an economy is through the empowerment of all of the talent and skills at our disposal. Central to this, we need to see more action to support those who want to be part of the workplace.
The latest figures from the Central Statistics Office reveal that female labour force participation is still significantly lower at 56.6%, compared to 69% for men. Although this figure has somewhat improved in the last number of years, labour participation for women in Ireland is still well below the EU average.
While the focus of the last Government fixed primarily on using gender-pay gap reporting, we need to see the next Government go much further to address the structural obstacles to greater workplace participation for women.
Speakers at this year’s event were Dr Gemma Irvine, Vice President for Equality and Diversity Maynooth University, Deirdre Coghlan Murray, Managing Director of Clark and Sasha Kerins, Tax Partner with Grant Thornton. The event MC’d by Brian Purcell of BP Communications was attended by a diverse sector of businesses from throughout Kildare. The morning was kindly sponsored by Clark.
Allan Shine said. “We’re calling for increased investment in affordable, quality childcare, the provision of shared parental leave and the introduction of a national strategy to supports business to offer more flexible working.
A framework that supports employment to be more flexible and inclusive will ensure that the workplace of the 21st century is family, age and disability friendly. Through this, the number of people at work will not only increase, but productivity, well-being and economic outcomes will also improve, leaving society to reap the benefits.
Economic outcomes for women have improved dramatically in recent decades but work remains. We in Kildare Chamber want to work with legislators to ensure that we eradicate these gaps and make Kildare a better place for women and a better place for business.”

Analysis: Push to export #water from San Luis Valley aquifers is NOT dead — The #Alamosa Citizen #RioGrande
Denver Chris Lopez):
Awise man once said, “developers only have to win once; the community has to win every time.” It’s the same with water exportation proposals. The Renewable Water Resources plan suffered a setback when Douglas County chose not to invest with federal COVID money, but the push to export water from the San Luis Valley aquifers is not dead.
“I don’t think anyone should let down their guard and think we ‘won.’” That’s the voice of Karen Hickman, a Douglas County resident who’s been following the discussions in Castle Rock, and who emailed us her thoughts after listening to Monday’s meeting.
She finished by saying, “Commissioner Teal doesn’t like to lose so there must be another plan in the works!”
There is, and Douglas County hired-attorney Steve Leonhardt pointed to it in his first confidential memorandum to the three commissioners on March 23, 2022 when he wrote, “RWR is developing a legislative strategy to address this issue.”
The issue being the required augmentation plan and meeting the rules and regulations governing groundwater withdrawals in the Upper Rio Grande Basin of the high-desert San Luis Valley.
Enter State Sen. Cleave Simpson, who also serves as general manager of the Rio Grande Water Conservation District. He’s been pointing out the problems of the Renewable Water Resources plan from the beginning and understood all along that Bill Owens and Sean Tonner would look to take a path through the state legislature.
“Since the first engagement with RWR proponents and the description of their pipe dream concept I felt the only path forward for them was some sort of legislative relief from the Confined Aquifer New Use Rules and the Rules and Regulations for Groundwater Withdrawals in Division 3,” Simpson told Alamosa Citizen. “I suspect they would have to make the case that their concept was of such vital state interest that the state should create a variance of some sort for them to allow confined aquifer withdrawals outside of the Rules we all have adopted and operate under.
“I can’t say for sure what that looks like, maybe as simple as a variance request,” he said. “I think the memo from Steve Leonhardt, the letter from their original attorney to the AG’s office, emails from Sean Tonner to Jerry Berry and the language in their presentation to the commissioners all point to the same thing, ‘but for the rules’ this would be a beneficial concept.”
A legislative strategy for Owens and Tonner might revolve around the “public trust doctrine” that allows the public to decide the best and most appropriate use of the waters of the state. It’s an area that Simpson said he’ll be watching.
As Renewable Water Resources regroups, keep in mind Douglas County commissioners are limited to two four-year terms and that Commissioner George Teal, who supported the request for $10 million of American Rescue Plan Act money from Douglas County, is in the second year of his first term. Commissioner Abe Laydon is up for re-election in November and was able to avoid a primary challenge at the Douglas County Republican assembly when county delegates denied a floor nomination from his challenger. Commissioner Lora Thomas is running for Douglas County Sheriff in November; her term as commissioner doesn’t end until 2025 so she could remain on the county commission if she loses the sheriff’s race. If she wins the sheriff’s race, Teal and Laydon will likely look to influence whoever takes her place.
All of this matters because Owens, the former governor of Colorado, and Tonner, his former chief of staff, both live in Douglas County and are active in Douglas County Republican politics as well as state Republican politics.
Owens; Tonner; their other partner, John Kim; Teal; and Laydon run in the same local political and social circles in Douglas County and along the Colorado Front Range.
Expect them to push forward.

The sound of pickleball – a detailed explanation, and what you need to consider before building courts
July 13, 2021 Betsy
After my last post “Respecting our neighbors – creating a quieter pickleball environment,” I received some feedback from readers seeking more information on rite a contributing article on the sound of pickleball; how to measure it, and how to reduce it in order to keep happy neighbors or select a location for new courts.
Many of you will recognize Bob as a USA Pickleball certified referee, or from his column in Pickleball Magazine called “Rules Guru”. He is also a USA Pickleball Ambassador At Large, a professional registered engineer and hosts the Facebook page called “Pickleball Noise (Mitigation)” where you will find a lot of interesting information on pickleball sound.
This post will explain the mechanics of sound, and how it relates to the human ear, and will be detailed in parts.
Bob can be reached at to answer any of your questions.
A lesson in measuring sound
Sound can be characterized in several ways, but the three terms we should use when describing pickleball sounds are “pitch” and “loudness” which is also known as “sound level”. The reality is that most sounds are combinations of multiple pitches and sound levels.
You probably have heard of music notes such as “middle C”. When you tune a piano key to middle C, it has the pitch of middle C, plus components of higher pitch sounds. Pitch is quite different from loudness or sound level. A faint middle C and a very loud middle C are both of similar pitch, but of different sound levels.
Pickleball sounds heard outside the courts are mostly the result of a ball hitting a paddle. The pitch we hear varies with the ball model and the paddle model. This is independent of loudness, so having an agreed upon way of measuring loudness is helpful.
To make this measurement, we need an agreed upon a reference sound level and a set of units of measurement. An accepted unit of sound pressure is the pascal, but human hearing is quite sensitive, so we need to measure some pressure changes that are 1 million times weaker, or a micro-pascal, which has been selected as the normal reference for sound level measurements.
In addition to our hearing being sensitive, we also have an amazing ability to hear and make sense of both very low levels, all the way up to very high levels, without incurring damage to our hearing.
Dealing with this wide range of pressures requires cumbersome arithmetic, so it is common to compare one level to another by using a base 10 logarithmic scale. Don’t worry about forgetting high school math, since we can just use the defined terms to easily compare any two sound levels, even if they are millions of times apart in level.
The term we will use is the decibel. The selected reference for sound measurements is 1 micro-pascal which we set to equal zero decibels, or 0 dB as commonly written. Humans perceive an increase of 10 decibels in sound level to be roughly 2x as loud. This is quite helpful since we can then simply use a meter calibrated in decibels to take measurements, and then easily estimate how the sound levels will be perceived.
You can read more about this in Wikipedia at:
As it relates to pickleball
The noise problem pickleball causes is due to the fact that humans are more annoyed by higher pitch sounds in general. A beeping sound is more annoying than a rumble sound, even if those two sounds are of the same level. Tennis and some other common sports produce sounds that are usually lower pitch than in pickleball, therefore less annoying.
One aspect of this reality is that paddles that vibrate a little slower will produce a sound that is somewhat less annoying to the neighbors. This is usually the case for thicker paddles. As paddle technology evolves, we may see more paddles become available with lower pitch sound production, and these sounds should be less annoying.
So, what does this all mean to us as pickleball enthusiasts? The quietest sounds some people can hear (with excellent hearing), are about 20 decibels above the reference level of 0dB. A problem with that simplification is that human hearing sensitivity varies with pitch, so the threshold of hearing also varies. An agreed upon adjustment to this measurement method is to use a weighted sensitivity called the A curve. Sound meters usually have a reading capability of decibels adjusted for the A curve. This adjusted unit of measurement level is referred to as dBA or often as dBa.
Now we are ready to use the numbers for comparison purposes. Here are some points of reference from the website,
0 dBA – The softest sound a person can hear with normal hearing
10 dBA – normal breathing
20 dBA – whispering at 5 feet
30 dBA – soft whisper
40 dBA – quiet residential area on a calm day
50 dBA – steady rainfall
60 dBA – normal conversation
70 dBA – freeway traffic
85 dBA – noisy restaurant
90 dBA – shouted conversation
100 dBA – nearby snowmobile
110 dBA – shouting into an ear
120 dBA – nearby thunder
As you know, at some level our hearing can be damaged. It is recommended that we avoid extended periods of exposure to levels above 80 dBa. Above 90 dBa is considered dangerous according to the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) standards. Loud music fans beware!
Frequent pickleball sounds are typically about 70 dBa at about 100 feet away from the strike of the ball. Residents in homes located in a quiet residential area, that are within 100 feet from pickleball courts are used to noise levels of 40 dBa, therefore the level of pickleball noise is 30 decibels louder. And, remember, each time you increase a sound level by 10 decibels, it will sound twice as loud. So, an increase of 30 decibels is (10dB+10dB+10dB) or 2x as loud x 2x as loud x 2x as loud, or 8 times as loud. That’s a significant increase in loudness. Would that be annoying? Probably.
Making sound level measurements requires calibrated accurate equipment. Do not rely upon sound level apps downloaded to your phone, except for simple relative readings. A good sound level meter, like the Sper840015, costs about $500 with calibration and it needs to have its calibration checked yearly or so.
So, what can you do?
What can be done to reduce complaints? First of all, courts that are expected to get lots of use should not be located close to homes! When we increase the distance to homes, things get better. Doubling the distance drops sound levels by 6 decibels in open areas and even more when there are obstructions to sound propagation, like hills and shrubs. Barriers can help as well. A 10 ft high wall can provide about 10 decibels of reduction, cutting the perceived sound level in half. Higher barriers help even more.
Using the quietest balls and paddles available can cut the sound as much as 10 more decibels or in half again, but many players will resist using other gear. Restricting play hours can also help reduce complaints.
Barriers can be absorbing or reflecting. Sound reflecting barriers, like that known as Acoustifence, are less expensive, but they will send pickleball sound back towards the courts or perhaps towards other homes. Absorbing barriers, like the sound blankets made by eNoise Control, are thicker, heavier and more expensive but they may be the best choice in some cases.
The reality is that most residential neighborhoods have background sound levels, known as ambient noise, close to 50 dBa. If all homes are 200 or more feet away from courts, the expected sound level will be about 64 dBa. If a sound barrier and quieter balls and paddles are used, we soon approach the typical sound level of average neighborhoods, under 50 dBa. To do more is difficult since sound will travel over a sound barrier. The solution to that problem might be a roof, basically making the courts an indoor facility and adding greatly to the cost, and an unrealistic option.
Determining what sound level is acceptable is not simple. Local ordinances can be consulted and sometimes this will set the specific sound level limits that apply, but other times an ordinance will simply state that any repetitive sound must not be “annoying”, and becomes a difficult goal to achieve. Sound level predictions and neighbor tolerance predictions must be part of designing a pickleball facility.
Summary:
Pickleball sound levels within 100 feet of courts will usually be around 70 dBa with no sound reduction efforts applied. This is as loud as freeway traffic sound.
At 200 feet, (using the 6 dB drop for doubling the distance) the level will be about 64 dBa. That’s louder than normal conversation.
At 400 feet it will be about 58 dBa. That’s quieter than normal conversation levels. By limiting use of paddles and ball brands based on sound testing, you can achieve below 50 dBa, and usually below local background level at that distance.
Adding a 10 ft. high barrier can drop that to below 40 dBa, a level below normal library sound levels.
Even at 100 feet, with consideration for equipment and sound barriers, the level could be about 52 dBa, and may be an acceptable sound level in many neighborhoods. This means that barriers and distance are the most effective tools. It also means that sound levels can be predicted in advance of having complaints, so consider your location and work with your pickleball community to make the sport a welcome addition to your neighborhood.
I hope the above will be helpful to those of you with current or potential sound problems. I am available to help with making sound levels estimates so send me an email if you have questions and I invite you to join the Facebook group Pickleball Noise (Mitigation) for much more pickleball sound information.

I live in Wilmette, Illayground. There are already six lighted paddle ball courts. The new pickle courts will come as close as 45 feet of some residences and be lighted for night play until 11 pm. The neighborhood is very opposed to the plan. It kills green space. It requires moving a playground which would be located between the new courts and an astroturf athletic field. The courts would also be in close proximity to a large community garden. The park district has applied for a land use variance with the local zoning board. The neighborhood has formed a group to oppose the variance. Mr. Unetich’s highlights the seriousness of our problem. We need some expert testimony to put before the zoning which will review the application on March 16th. We have nothing against pickleball but not in our quiet neighborhood from 7 am until 11pm. Can you suggest someone in the Chicago area who might be willing to make an in person statement at the meeting or is there someone who could write a letter outlining the problems with building courts in a small park area , lighted at night and so close to houses. Property values are going to be hurt. The lights and noise will be a constant issue Parton the warmer months. Please offer help or advice if possible.

Gary, I am not an expert by any means on this topic, thus having a guest writer for that post, therefore I would not be able to speak to it. I would guess you would need to seek a sound engineer of some sort to investigate your exact situation. Good luck with your situation. Thanks for reading Crazy Pickleball Lady!

William McPherson is a quintessential man of letters. He founded The Washington Post’s “Book World” and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for literary criticism. Then he swung around to the other side of the desk to write two beautiful and well received novels, Testing the Current (1984) and To the Sargasso Sea (1987). McPherson hReview of Books Classics. We spoke over lunch last summer and most recently this January.
Q&A with William McPherson
Let’s get this question out of the way first.
I know what’s coming, but yes, fire away.
People have said Testing the Current is really a memoir. Is it? In what sense is the novel autobiographical?
Well, I’m glad you said “the novel” because it is a novel and not an account of what I did the summer I was 7 or 8. When I was asked that question the first time the book was published — and I was asked it a lot — I was a bit offended because I thought the question diminished the work in some way. But it’s a legitimate question, even if it did make me uncomfortable. I didn’t find it easy exposing the woman people assumed was my mother as an adulteress (love that word). Even my mother, who didn’t say much about the book, but she must have liked it because she bought a lot of copies for her friends, even my mother said, “Well, I do wish you hadn’t made your mother an adulteress.” So I had to explain, “Mo-ther, that is not you!” (Parents can so easily reduce one to a whining adolescent.) “That’s somebody I made up.” Which, in fact, it was, but I created Emma in my imagination, my imagination playing with a mother who shared some characteristics with my own mother but who was the mother of Tommy, the boy in the book, and I am no more Tommy than my own mother is Emma. And yet I am, and so is she. It’s a conundrum.
Not long after the book was published I got a call from a woman who used to take care of me sometimes when I was a boy around Tommy’s age. I probably hadn’t seen her since then. “I remember the explosion in the plant,” she said. “The explosion in the plant?” I asked her. “Yes, I remember it as if it were yesterday.” I was a little bemused, in a way I was flattered, but there was no explosion in the plant. Never, as far as I know, and the three men who were killed in it, died only in my imagination. I was flattered because part of my imagined world had become a memory in her real world. More than flattered, I was awed.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about memory, time, the world as we see it, which is the world as we imagine it, and the world as it is — the “real” world. The world of Testing the Current is a world that I imagined, a world that I created from my imagination playing on memory. I am not the Tommy of this book, this is not a memoir or the story of my childhood; Grande Rivière in the book is not the Sault Sainte Marie where I was born. The city where I was born and lived the first 18years of my life no longer exists, only in my mind. The irony — and as far as I’m concerned, the beautiful irony — is that the Sault Sainte Marie of my childhood does not exist while the fictional Grande Rivière does, and not only in my mind but in the minds of others. In a sense, the fictional Grande Rivière is what remains of the city of Sault Sainte Marie of that time. There’s something amazing and wonderful about that.
What novelist do you think has been the most overlooked in the past 50 years? And, if you dare, who’s been the most overrated?
Harold Brodkey’s Stories in an Almost Classical Mode is a heartbreaking work of staggering genius (thank you, Dave Eggers). Harold was a brilliant, outrageous, charming, impossible, larger-than-life man, rather a genius, in fact, which he had no problem in telling you. I had read the publicity, much of it self-generated, so when I picked up that collection of stories I was prepared to be skeptical. Then I started reading them. The skepticism vanished and the admiration began. His ego may have been monumental, but that was largely the self he presented to the world, his protective armor. Maybe he needed it to mask whatever doubts he held in secret. In any case, it got him a lot of publicity. He liked that. He loved being the center of attention. He loved literary gossip. Maybe I’ve made him sound insufferable. He wasn’t. Off stage and in person he was funny and warm, and generous in his praise of writers he respected, like Don DeLillo.
After I reviewed Studies in an Almost Classical Mode in The Washington Post in 1988, Harold came to Olsson’s, which was a book and music store at Dupont Circle. I rarely, if ever, stood in line clutching my review copy for the author’s signature, but I did this time and I’m glad I did. I admired and respected Harold’s work before I met him; after that I also liked him, him and his novelist wife Ellen Schwam, who kept the Great Man glued together. I liked him a lot. He may have been everything that anyone said of him — and plenty was said, God knows. But for me, Harold was a brave man, a great writer and a generous friend. He was also very funny. He made me laugh. I miss him.
I’m sure there are lots of underrated writers out there — maybe Shirley Hazzard falls into that category. I was so bowled over by The Transit of Venus that I wrote her a note — the long-distance equivalent of standing in line at a signing, I suppose. But “underrated” may not be the right word. Maybe “undervalued”? “Under-read,” definitely. She is in every way an exquisite writer. Elizabeth Hardwick deserves a closer look. Those who’ve read her don’t undervalue her, but she is under-read. She had a delightful Kentucky accent and a delightfully coquettish air about her. We served on the National Book Critics Circle board together. She had a mind like a diamond. It could cut glass and destroy any literary phoniness. Quite ruthlessly, too. Thinking about her now makes me want to re-read her last novel, Sleepless Nights, which I reviewed when it came out, her short stories and her brilliant essays. New York Review Books Classics publishes some of them. And Elizabeth — I could never call her “Lizzie,” it seemed too intimate somehow, any more than I could call Robert Lowell “Cal” — Elizabeth reminds me of Renata Adler’s Speedboat, a novel that Elizabeth admired and so did I. It wasn’t my intention to promote NYRB Classics, which I just noticed publishes Adler as well, but they do publish good books. It’s a true honor for me to be on their list.
But to name the one writer who’s been the most overlooked? I couldn’t name the one because I probably overlooked him or her, too. And I think I’ll skip the most overrated, as well. Writers do that well enough for themselves. I once heard a famous and wildly successful novelist ask, “What’s the difference between me and Henry James?” Talent, maybe? But I’m not knocking popular novelists. They satisfy a universal need for narrative, I think. I grew to hate — not too strong a word — The DaVinci Code, but the author made me turn the page. I was at a summer house for a weekend and the book was on the shelf. It was at the height of its popularity. I picked it up and started reading. Great beginning, very short chapters that left you hanging, and in the end I felt like that television commercial: “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing.” Dan Brown has had a baleful influence on writers who want to do what he did; that is, write a best-seller for some quick bucks. So they try to imitate him. When I was in the book business I met a few mega-sellers. All of them believed in what they were doing, in the same way that better, more sophisticated writers do. You can’t fake it.
And I haven’t even gotten to poets.
Gore Vidal once remarked that he read Montaigne when he was discouraged or down. Are there any authors you turn to in the same way? What is it about them that lifts your spirit?
I don’t look to literature to lift my spirits. Chemicals do it better. Fill my spirit, maybe. But I don’t have a reading list for bad days — or, for that matter, good days.
Let’s do some free association. I’m going to name a few authors, and I’d like you to give me your top-of-mind impressions of them in a few words or phrases.
Ernest Hemingway
His short stories are his best work, I think. They are masterful. A Clean Well-Lighted Place? The Michigan Stories? I read them all. I read all the novels, too — maybe I skipped the Venice novel that read like a parody of a once-great writer. I read The Old Man and the Sea when it came out in Life magazine. My uncle had given me a subscription. I was in high school then and those giant marlins got to me. When I was in high school I also read the other novels, though I’d read For Whom the Bell Tolls earlier. Maybe that’s the best time to read them. The short stories are better read later. God knows, his style was contagious. Every kid in a writing course in college in the 1950s tried to sound like Hemingway. But there was only one Hemingway. Hemingway’s tragedy, in my opinion, was that he knew the well was empty, he knew he had nothing more to say, but he had to keep pretending in order to satisfy the voracious maw of the Papa Hemingway machine he had created. Finally, he couldn’t continue and he shot himself. Philip Roth brought down the curtain on his writing in a better way.
James Joyce
Well, if we weren’t trying to sound like Hemingway, we were trying to sound like Joyce, the Joyce of the lyrical final lines of “The Dead.” I didn’t do much writing in college. I think I took a couple of “creative writing” courses. I wrote my “Hemingway story” and my “Joyce story” and then I sort of drifted away from class. But what can you say about Joyce other than that he was a genius? I studied Portrait and Dubliners and Ulysses. I made a couple of stabs at Finnegans Wake, but gave up. If I remember correctly, he took 17 years to write it; it would have taken me that long to read it. Joyce was asking more than I was willing to give. Something that fascinates me still about FW is it starts in the middle of a sentence that begins in the last words of the book. Completing the circle, as it were.
I’m peering at your list. You’ve got a lot of authors there. If I commented on each one I’d end up droning on and putting you to sleep, because I can’t say in a word or a sentence anything worth saying about Saul Bellow, Joan Didion, Gore Vidal, Philip Roth, John Cheever, Flannery O’Connor, John Updike, Truman Capote and so on. They’re unique, and each one has his own claim to greatness — although I once wrote in a review of a collection of Vidal’s essays that “he’s the brightest rhinestone around.” He remembered it, too. I’ve probably got anecdotes about most of these people, since I met or was acquainted with most of them to one degree or another. But this isn’t the place for them.
So I’ll do what the politicians on television do and answer a question you didn’t ask. I’ll tell you about my early reading instead. When I was a kid I read omnivorously and indiscriminately. I read everything I could get my hands on, from the “Tell Me, Doctor” column in the Ladies’ Home Journal, where I tried to figure out the grand mystery of sex (probably better places to learn), to the Hardy Boys, the Don Sturdy Books, Tom Swift and, when I was old enough to walk to the library, Agatha Christie. Once the librarian called my mother to ask if it was okay for me to take out books like Appointment With Death and Death on the Nile. Since my mother sometimes read them, too, she couldn’t very well deny them to me. I read popular biographies of Eugene Debs and Vincent van Gogh, the Book of Knowledge, Lands and Peoples, Richard Halliburton’s Book of Marvels. We’re not talking high literature here, but I learned a lot, and some of the books — the Debs biography, for instance — opened up my view of the world. It was my father who kept the Index of Prohibited Books. He saw me pull Anthony Adverse off the shelf — that was a novel the size of Gone With the Wind (read that, too), popular in the 1930s — and told me to put it back. I was too young to read it. That was all I needed. I devoured the book, searching for the secrets that I was supposed to be too young to know. I think there was a scene where the young hero discovers masturbation, but since I hadn’t, I didn’t quite get what was going on, but it seemed interesting and apparently it felt good. For Whom the Bell Tolls was also on the proscribed list, but by the time I got to that (immediately after it made the list), I think I’d figured our what was making the earth move. The best way to get children to read is to tell them they can’t read something because they’re not old enough.
After years as a critic, you wrote your first novel, Testing the Current, in your 40s. It received almost unanimously positive reviews. New York Review Books Classics is now republishing it in January, almost 29 years later. How does that make you feel?
The short answer is, good. Very, very good. But really, it’s more complicated than that and hard to explain. When Edwin Frank — he’s the editor of NYRB Classics — called to tell me he’d like to publish Testing the Current I was … what — flabbergasted? I was sitting at my desk, probably brooding about (or avoiding) this book I’ve been trying to write for a long time now, when the telephone rang. Just like that. I can picture it, clearly. Anyway, I never expected to see TTC in print again. I knew that I’d written the best book I was capable of writing, and I believed it was a good book, but it had been out of print for years. I knew how publishing worked. I’d been an editor at a publishing house in New York; I was editor of The Washington Post “Book World”; I knew how many books were published each year and that most of them have a short shelf life. I wasn’t naïve about publishing. So I was truly astonished by Edwin Frank’s phone call, and gratified. It took a while from that call to this beautiful edition with the extraordinary photograph by Carol Betsch on the cover. I am embarrassed to tell you how long. The delay was due almost entirely to my own mental quirks. Others might have less charitable but perhaps more accurate words to describe my paralysis in the face of the best thing to have happened to me in a long time. Anyway, pushed by my daughter and helped immensely by my son-in-law, Jon Jefferson, who got the process started again, and the patience and enthusiasm of Edwin Frank, here it is. And it’s very, very nice. I’m awed, I’m humbled and I’m grateful. It’s given the book a new life and me a new life, too, now that I’m approaching the end of it.
What was your inspiration for Testing the Current? When did you know you were writing a novel?
The inspiration — I guess you’d call it an inspiration — was a woman on a golf course on a summer morning, taking her practice swing. There was dew on the grass, a river flowing in the distance, leaves rustling in the elms. Only there was no woman, no golf course, no dew on the grass: the only place they were was in my head. That vision of a fresh summer morning occurred on a brilliant but bitterly cold winter morning between Christmas and New Year’s, 1977, at the corner of 18th and Q Streets [in Washington]. I was walking to work. The scene hit me with such force that I sat down on the curb. It was so vivid; I saw it with such clarity and intensity that I couldn’t get it out of my head. At home in my office that night I decided I should describe what I had seen. I should write it down. I wrote very fast and furiously that night and the next, ending up with 12 single-spaced pages entirely covered with words — the smallest of margins left and right, top and bottom. The third night I started over, but the first paragraph of Testing the Current as it now stands is virtually identical to the first paragraph I wrote then.
So I guess that’s the inspiration — not an event, not a person, not even a story, but a picture, a tableau vivant that began to move, then slowly faded, and I continued on my way to work. The story came later, it unfolded, as it were, and it took me almost five and a half years to tell it. I’m not a fast writer, but fortunately, my first draft is usually pretty close to my final.
When did I realize that this piece I was working on might be a novel? Well, I’m not really sure, but it wasn’t immediately. My daughter said my troubles began when I stopped referring to it as my piece and started referring to it as my book.

Woman who paid R. Kelly’s bail just met him a few months ago, friend claims; court records show she suffered a family tragedy
by Elm Cook County Jail in Chicago.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Don Russell, described as a friend and “advisor” to Kelly, told the newspaper that Valencia Love met Kelly this past September on a Spirit of Chicago cruise around Lake Michigan. He also claimed that Love reached out Kelly’s friends when she heard he was having trouble making bail, and offered to help.
Kelly was arrested on Friday and charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual conduct involving four alleged victims, three of them underage. A judge set his bail at $1 million, and over the weekend his lawyer told reporters that Kelly was having trouble coming up with the required ten percent of the bond amount to secure his release.
“She wanted Rob to have a chance at justice, and she thought he’d have a better chance outside of jail than inside,” Russell told the Chicago Sun-Times.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Love has given conflicting accounts regarding the source of the funds. On Tuesday, in her first published comments about putting up bail, she told ABC News that the $100,000 was Kelly’s “own money.”
In a later interview with a Fox 32 News reporter, Love wouldn’t say if it was her money or Kelly’s money but insisted that Kelly was not “broke.”
A woman identifying herself as Love reportedly contacted the Chicago Sun-Times and disputed some of Russell’s account, though the report doesn’t state what specifically she challenged. Russell also told the newspaper that Love was among a group of people who were with Kelly on Monday night after he was released from jail. They went to a McDonald’s and later to a cigar bar.
According to the report, Love filed for bankruptcy in 2015 due to unpaid parking tickets, but received a large settlement in 2017 as the result of a family tragedy: Love and her ex-husband each received just over a million dollars in a wrongful death lawsuit regarding their daughter’s 2010 death. Court records obtained by the newspaper show that Love’s daughter died during a heart procedure at a Chicago hospital that has since closed.
Kelly pleaded not guilty on Monday to all 10 criminal charges. As a condition of his release, he is forbidden from being in contact with females under the age of 18.

(Natural News) The United States government takes in so much money, is so massive, and so bloated that there literally is hardly any effort at all to make employees accountable.
That fact was laid bare again recently by a report in the Washington Free Beacon pertaem turned out to be a massive paid vacation.
“In the first months of the coronavirus pandemic, a quarter of employees at the federal government’s top health agency failed to even check their emails as they worked remotely, according to internal documents” obtained by the outlet.

And if this occurred at one federal agency, you can be sure it occurred at nearly all of them (of which there are currently 432).
The outlet continued:
An estimated 25 percent of Department of Health and Human Services employees neglected to log on to the agency’s software suite, which includes their email, work files, video conference calls, and other applications needed to perform remote work, according to the internal documents. The report, commissioned by thcember 2020.

The documents, portions of which were leaked by a whistleblower to the Functional Government Initiative and reviewed by the Free Beacon, state that all HHS employees had secure access to these accounts to work remotely.
Federal employees started returning to their offices only in recent months, well after most private sector businesses required their workers to return to their jobs. However, the Biden regime is looking at ways to make as many federal positions remote as possible.
Congressional majority Democrats advanced legislation last week on a measure tworkers to return to their offices.
Harrison, who is now a GOP congressman from Texas, told the Free Beacon that he began to become concerned in the earliest months of the pandemic that lax, remote work policies would lead to inefficiency among federal workers (and he appears to have been right). He also noted that he began to track in-office attendance and discovered that fewer than 10 percent of federal workers showed up to work in person at certain points during the first year of the pandemic, 2020. That led him to conduct a more thorough review of remote work to see how many federal employees were not in offices and what kind of work product they were turning out.
“Almost everyone was home at the federal health agency responding to a pandemic—I found that problematic and worked to safely increase those numbers,” Harrison told the Free Beacon. “Biden sent everyone back home, and you can’t run HHS like that effectively.”
Peter McGinnis, the communications director for the Functional Government Initiative, told the outlet that the Biden regime’s push for unnecessary telework has really harmed American taxpayers who foot the bill for salaries.
“Work from home? Perhaps not working at all,” McGinnis told the Free Beacon. “Sadly, this dysfunction now threatens the health of mothers and children.”
The problem is so serious that House Republicans, who are looking to regain congressional majorities in the fall midterm elections amid Biden’s horrible term, introduced legislation last month that reestablishes pre-pandemic telework policies for federal employees and would require federal agencies to submit a report on how telework has impacted their policies and productivity since 2020.
Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-N.M.), the bill’s sponsor, said the regime must be made to justify the need for keeping federal workers at home.
“Extending pandemic-era telework for no good reason hurts Americans who need in-person attention and care,” Herrell told the Free Beacon. “The first priority of public employees should be to serve their employers, the American people.”

Dawn Black Badge
The Festival of Speed served as the perfect staging point for the global unveiling of the Rolls‑Royce Dawn Black Badge. Unveiled in the spectacuge crowds throughout the weekend.
Dawn Black Badge stands as the most luxurious, social space from which to take in the night air. This most glamorous, uncompromising expression of open-top luxury is given a new and darker sensual dimension through its suite of Black Badge engineering and design treatments. The car shown was presented in a deeply intense shade of black, created by the most exhaustive painting and polishing process ever used for a solid paint colour. The result clothes Dawn’s lines in the deepest, darkest and most intense black to ever grace a production car surface. The roof, which opens in a ‘Silent Ballet’ to allow in the sounds of the night, is in black canvas, whilst the rear deck is finished in black leather.
Rolls-Royce ‘Sweptail’
Rolls-Royce’s history as the world’s pre-eminent coachbuilder is at the very core of its identity as the world’s most celebrated luxury brand. The coachbuilt Rolls-Royce ‘Sweptail’ graced the Festival of Speed in the ‘First Glance’ category, drawing huge crowds whether at rest in the paddock or wafting up the Hillclimb. Inspired by the beautiful coachbuilt Rolls-Royces of the 1920s and 1930s, the patron’s desire was for a coachbuilt two seater coupé featuring a large panoramic glass roof. Rolls-Royce ‘Sweptail’ is a truly magnificent motor car, exuding the romance of travel for its own sake, placing it in the pantheon of the world’s great intercontinental tourers.
Wraith Black Badge
The most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce in history, Wraith Black Badge effortlessly ascended the Hillclimb during the Supercar Shootout. Wraith Black Badge peaked at 126mph during the 1.16-mile course and recorded a speed of 102mph as the car crossed the finish line, proving that it is not necessary to sacrifice luxury for speed. Wraith Black Badge was driven by Endurance Racing legend Joerg Weidinger. The car was finished in Dark Indigo, with the interior in Seashell and Navy Blue contrast leather, and the fascia in Black Badge Technical Fibre.
Ghost Black Badge
The Course Car this year was a Rolls-Royce Ghost Black Badge, resplendent with LED race lights and Goodwood decals. The car was driven by a team from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars and seen on the course between each Hillclimb Run throughout the weekend, completing 85 runs and covering more than 200 miles in total. The car was finished in Andalusian White, with the interior in Black and Tan contrast leather and the fascia in Black Badge Technical Fibre.
Bradley Theodore

Merck and Ridgeback’s Molnupiravir, an Investigational Oral Antiviral COVID-19 Treatment, Receives Special Approval for Emergency in Japan
by DRJ Editorial Team | December 24, 2021 | | 0 comments
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Approves Molnupiravir for the Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
Molnupiravir, First Oral COVID-19 Antiviral Medicine To Receive Authorization in the World, Now Authorize (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics today announced that Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has granted Special Approval for Emergency in Japan for molnupiravir, an investigational oral antiviral medicine, for infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. Special Approval for Emergency is the process under Article 14-3 of the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act to approve a medical product swiftly in an emergency situation to protect public health. Under a previously announced supply agreement, the Japanese government will purchase 1.6 million courses of molnupiravir to accelerate access to patients.
“As a single oral medicine that can be taken at home, early treatment with molnupiravir significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization or death in patients at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19. Importantly for patients, there were markedly fewer deaths among those taking molnupiravir in our clinical study. We believe that molnupiravir will be a critical addition to the measures available to help curb the impact of COVID-19 on patients, healthcare systems and public health in Japan,” said Dr. Dean Y. Li, president, Merck Research Laboratories. “All of us at Merck have embraced our responsibility to bring this important medicine forward to patients globally as quickly as possible.”
“We are proud to reach this important milestone alongside our collaborators, patients and physicians,” said Wendy Holman, chief executive officer, Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. “We are confident in the promise of molnupiravir as a medicine that can be taken at home with no known drug-drug interactions and believe it will have a positive impact as part of the global effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Molnupiravir was the first oral COVID-19 antiviral medicine to receive authorization on Nov. 4, when the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency granted authorization. In the E.U., the European Medicines Agency issued a positive scientific opinion for molnupiravir under Article 5.3 regulation 726/2004, which is intended to support national decision-making on the possible use of molnupiravir prior to marketing authorization. On Dec. 23, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Emergency Use Authorization for molnupiravir. Regulatory applications are under review or are in the process of being submitted for molnupiravir around the world.
In Japan, LAGEVRIO® (molnupiravir) is the planned trademark for molnupiravir. Molnupiravir is available in certain markets outside the U.S. as LAGEVRIO.
About the MOVe-OUT Study
The approval is based on positive results from a planned interim analysis from the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT clinical trial (NCT04575597), which evaluated molnupiravir 800 mg twice-daily in non-hospitalized, unvaccinated adult patients with laboratory-confirmed mild-to-moderate COVID-19, symptom onset within five days of study randomization, and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes (e.g. heart disease, diabetes). The primary efficacy objective of MOVe-OUT is to evaluate the efficacy of molnupiravir 800 mg twice daily for five days compared to placebo as assessed by the percentage of participants who are hospitalized and/or die through Day 29.
At the interim analysis, which was the primary analysis timepoint of the study, molnupiravir significantly reduced the risk of hospitalization and death: 14.1% (53/377) of patients in the placebo group were hospitalized or died, compared to 7.3% (28/385) of patients who received molnupiravir who were hospitalized; at the interim analysis, no patients who took molnupiravir died through Day 29, compared to eight patients who received placebo. The absolute risk reduction was 6.8 percentage points (95% CI: 2.4, 11.3; p=0.0012, one-sided), which is approximately a 50% relative reduction in the risk of hospitalization or death through Day 29 for molnupiravir compared with placebo. In the all randomized analysis (n=1433), molnupiravir had a lower risk of hospitalization or death through Day 29: 9.7% (68/699) of patients in the placebo group compared to 6.8% (48/709) of patients in the molnupiravir group, for an absolute risk reduction of 3.0% (95% CI: 0.1, 5.9) and a relative risk reduction of 30%. Nine deaths were reported in the placebo group (29-day all-cause mortality rate of 1.3%) and one in the molnupiravir group (29-day all-cause mortality rate of 0.1%), representing a relative reduction in the risk of death of 89% (95% CI: 14, 99).
Adverse reactions were observed in 12.4% (48/386 participants) in the molnupiravir 800 mg group. The most common observed adverse reactions (greater than or equal to 1%) were diarrhea 3.1% (12/386 participants), nausea 2.3% (9/386 participants), dizziness 1.3% (5/386 participants) and headache 1.0% (4/386 participants).
About Merck’s Global Efforts to Accelerate Access to Molnupiravir Following Regulatory Authorizations or Approvals
Global access has been a priority for Merck and Ridgeback since the inception of their molnupiravir collaboration. The companies are committed to providing timely access to molnupiravir globally through our comprehensive supply and access approach, which includes investing at risk to produce millions of courses of therapy; tiered pricing based on the ability of governments to finance health care; entering into supply agreements with governments; and granting voluntary licenses to generic manufacturers and to the Medicines Patent Pool to make generic molnupiravir available in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following local regulatory authorizations or approvals.
Supply: In anticipation of the results from MOVe-OUT and the potential for regulatory authorization or approval, Merck has been producing molnupiravir at risk and will produce 10 million courses of treatment by the end of 2021, with at least 20 million courses to be produced in 2022. To date, Merck has shipped molnupiravir to 14 countries; in countries where it is approved or authorized, patients have begun to receive the drug.
Supply agreements: Merck entered into a procurement agreement with the U.S. Government under which the company will supply approximately 3.1 million courses of molnupiravir to the U.S. Government, upon Emergency Use Authorization or approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Merck has entered into advance purchase and supply agreements for molnupiravir with governments for over 30 countries worldwide, including Australia, Canada, Korea, Japan, Thailand, United Kingdom and United States, pending regulatory authorizations, and is currently in discussions with additional governments. Merck plans to implement a tiered pricing approach based on World Bank country income criteria to reflect countries’ relative ability to finance their health response to the pandemic.
Voluntary licenses: As part of its commitment to widespread global access, Merck previously announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with the Medicines Patent Pool to increase broad access for molnupiravir in low- and middle-income countries. Additionally, Merck previously announced that the company has entered into non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreements for molnupiravir with established generic manufacturers to accelerate availability of molnupiravir in more than 100 low- and middle-income countries following approvals or emergency authorization by local regulatory agencies.
Merck continues to discuss additional measures and collaborations to accelerate broad, global access to molnupiravir.
Authorized Use of Molnupiravir in the U.S.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an EUA for the emergency use of the unapproved molnupiravir, a nucleoside analogue that inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication by viral mutagenesis, for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in adults with positive results of direct SARS-CoV-2 viral testing, and who are at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, and for whom alternative COVID-19 treatment options authorized by FDA are not accessible or clinically appropriate. Molnupiravir is not FDA-approved for any use including for use for the treatment of COVID-19. Prior to initiating treatment with molnupiravir, carefully consider the known and potential risks and benefits.
Molnupiravir is authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of molnupiravir under section 564(b)(1) of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
Molnupiravir is not authorized for use in patients less than 18 years of age or who are hospitalized due to COVID-19. Benefit of treatment with molnupiravir has not been observed in subjects when treatment was initiated after hospitalization due to COVID-19. Molnupiravir is not authorized for use for longer than five consecutive days. Molnupiravir is not authorized for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis for prevention of COVID-19. Molnupiravir may only be prescribed for an individual patient by physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, and physician assistants that are licensed or authorized under state law to prescribe drugs in the therapeutic class to which molnupiravir belongs (i.e., anti-infectives).
Selected Safety Information for Molnupiravir
Contraindications
No contraindications have been identified based on the limited available data on the emergency use of molnupiravir authorized under this EUA.
Warnings and Precautions
There are limited clinical data available for molnupiravir. Serious and unexpected adverse events may occur that have not been previously reported with molnupiravir use.
Molnupiravir is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Based on findings from animal reproduction studies, molnupiravir may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant individuals. There are no available human data on the use of molnupiravir in pregnant individuals to evaluate the risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
Molnupiravir is authorized to be prescribed to a pregnant individual only after the healthcare provider has determined that the benefits would outweigh the risks for that individual patient. If the decision is made to use molnupiravir during pregnancy, the prescribing healthcare provider must document that the known and potential benefits and the potential risks of using molnupiravir during pregnancy were communicated to the pregnant individual.
There is a pregnancy surveillance program that monitors pregnancy outcomes in individuals exposed to molnupiravir during pregnancy. The prescribing healthcare provider must document that a pregnant individual was made aware of Merck’s pregnancy surveillance program at 1-877-888-4231 or If the pregnant individual agrees to participate in the pregnancy surveillance program and allows the prescribing healthcare provider to disclose patient specific information to Merck, the prescribing healthcare provider must provide the patient’s name and contact information to Merck. Pregnant individuals exposed to molnupiravir can also report the exposure by contacting Merck at 1-877-888-4231 or
Advise individuals of childbearing potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use an effective method of contraception correctly and consistently during treatment with molnupiravir and for 4 days after the final dose.
Prior to initiating treatment with molnupiravir, assess whether an individual of childbearing potential is pregnant or not, if clinically indicated.
Molnupiravir is not authorized for use in patients less than 18 years of age because it may affect bone and cartilage growth. The safety and efficacy of molnupiravir have not been established in pediatric patients.
Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥1% of subjects in the molnupiravir treatment group in the Phase 3 double-blind MOVe-OUT study were diarrhea (2% versus placebo at 2%), nausea (1% versus placebo at 1%), and dizziness (1% versus placebo at 1%) all of which were Grade 1 (mild) or Grade 2 (moderate).
Serious adverse events occurred in 7% of subjects receiving molnupiravir and 10% receiving placebo; most serious adverse events were COVID-19 related. Adverse events leading to death occurred in 2 (<1%) of the subjects receiving molnupiravir and 12 (2%) of subjects receiving placebo.
Drug Interactions
No drug interactions have been identified based on the limited available data on the emergency use of molnupiravir. No clinical drug-drug interaction trials of molnupiravir with concomitant medications, including other treatments for mild to moderate COVID-19, have been conducted.
Pregnancy/Breastfeeding
There are no data on the presence of molnupiravir or its metabolites in human milk. It is unknown whether molnupiravir has an effect on the breastfed infant or effects on milk production. Based on the potential for adverse reactions in the infant from molnupiravir, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with molnupiravir and for 4 days after the final dose. A lactating individual may consider interrupting breastfeeding and may consider pumping and discarding breast milk during treatment and for 4 days after the last dose of molnupiravir.
Males of Reproductive Potential
Nonclinical studies to fully assess the potential for molnupiravir to affect offspring of treated males have not been completed. Advise sexually active individuals with partners of childbearing potential to use a reliable method of contraception correctly and consistently during treatment and for at least 3 months after last dose of molnupiravir. The risk beyond three months after the last dose of molnupiravir is unknown.
Required Reporting for Serious Adverse Events and Medication Errors
The prescribing healthcare provider and/or the provider’s designee are/is responsible for mandatory reporting of all serious adverse events and medication errors potentially related to molnupiravir within 7 calendar days from the healthcare provider’s awareness of the event.
Submit adverse event and medication error reports, using FDA Form 3500, to FDA MedWatch using one of the following methods:

About Molnupiravir
Molnupiravir (MK-4482 and EIDD-2801) is an investigational, orally administered nucleoside analogue that inhibits replication of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Merck and Ridgeback’s “orange COVID-19 pill” is a Swedish Orange opaque capsule with the Merck corporate logo and “82” printed in white ink, available in certain markets outside of the U.S. as LAGEVRIO®.
Results from the Phase 3 MOVe-OUT study demonstrated the efficacy benefit of molnupiravir treatment was generally consistent across patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, Delta, Gamma and Mu. Preliminary preclinical data has shown that molnupiravir has antiviral activity against the newly identified variant, Omicron (B1.1.529). Molnupiravir has yet to be evaluated against Omicron in clinical studies.
Molnupiravir was invented at Emory University. Drug Innovation Ventures at Emory (DRIVE), LLC, which was formed by Emory to develop early-stage drug candidates for viral diseases of global concern, advanced molnupiravir through IND submission. Emory/DRIVE received some research funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Molnupiravir is being developed by Merck in collaboration with Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. Ridgeback received an upfront payment from Merck and also is eligible to receive contingent payments dependent upon the achievement of certain developmental and regulatory approval milestones. Any profits from the collaboration will be split between the partners equally. Since licensed by Ridgeback, all funds used for the development of molnupiravir have been provided by Merck and Ridgeback.
Molnupiravir was evaluated in MOVe-OUT, a global Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-site study of non-hospitalized adult patients with symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed mild to moderate COVID-19 and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes. The Phase 3 portion of the MOVe-OUT trial was conducted globally in more than 170 sites in locations including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, France, Germany, Guatemala, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States. For further information about the MOVe-OUT trial, please visit clinicaltrials.gov. Molnupiravir is also being evaluated for post-exposure prophylaxis in MOVe-AHEAD, a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of molnupiravir in preventing the spread of COVID-19 within households.

IRF6 belongs to a family of transcription JNJ-31020028 factors that share a highly conserved helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain and a less conserved protein-binding domain. Interestingly, this protein-binding domain is related to the C-terminal MH2 domain of Smad proteins and has been referred to SMIR JNJ-31020028 (Smad and IRF) domain (Eroshkin and Mushegian, 1999). As DNA binding by Smad transcription factors depends on their association with other DNA-bound transcription factors (Derynck and Zhang, 2003; ten Dijke and Hill, 2004), one can speeus to induce the obligatory cell cycle exit that precedes terminal differentiation (Figure 6). In addition, IKK may also interact with other transcription factors, such as RARs to control epidermal barrier formation (Gareus em et al /em , 2007). The identification of other IKK-interacting proteins and additional IKK target genes will provide an ever better understanding of how this critical regulator of JNJ-31020028 epidermal proliferation and differentiation carries out its daily work.

Type 1 Diabetes Causes: What You Need to Know
Type 1 diabetes is a serious medical condition that interferes with the body’s ability to absorb sugar out of the blood. If left untreated, it can cause severe symptoms and life-threatening complications. Unlike type 2 diabetes, type 1 is not caused by a person’s diet or lifestyle, but is instead linked to problems with the immune system. Around 1.4 million Americans have type 1 diabetes, or 4% of all diabetes patients.
What Causes Type 1 Diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. When your immune system is functioning normally, it attacks viruses and bacteria to fight off illness and infection. With type 1 diabetes, it malfunctions and destroys healthy cells in the pancreas, called B-cells, that produce insulin. Eventually it destroys so many of these cells that the pancreas loses the ability to produce insulin at all.
The Role of Insulin
Insulin is a hormone that plays a key role in the healthy functioning of your metabolism. It helps cells in your body absorb glucose, or sugar, out of your blood and convert it into energy. At the same time, if you have more sugar in your blood than you need, it signals your liver to store the excess and release it when you need it, like between meals, helping keep your blood sugar levels balanced throughout the day.
When you lose the ability to produce insulin, you can no longer regulate your glucose levels, and sugar starts to accumulate in your bloodstream.
The Role of Glucose
When you eat food, your digestive system breaks down any carbohydrates into glucose, a simple sugar. The glucose enters your bloodstream where it can be absorbed by your cells and turned into energy.
Glucose is an important source of fuel for your body, but too much of it can be harmful. If it accumulates in your bloodstream and stays at a high level for too long, it can cause your arteries and veins to start hardening. This can lead to poor circulation throughout your body, damaging many other internal organs and body parts, including your heart, kidneys, eyes, immune system, skin, and feet.
Type 1 Risk Factors
Type 1 diabetes used to be called “juvenile diabetes,” because it was thought to be a childhood disease. Even though we now know that people can develop type 1 diabetes at any age, it’s still most common in children and young adults. Other risk factors for type 1 diabetes include family history; if you have a close family member like a parent or sibling with type 1 diabetes, you’re more likely to develop it as well. Certain genes also increase your risk of developing type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes Type 1 Symptoms
Unlike type 2 diabetes which develops gradually, symptoms of type 1 diabetes tend to come on suddenly, and can become severe within weeks or even days. Symptoms can include:
Severe or frequent thirst
Extreme hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Frequent Urination (or more frequent diaper changes or bedwetting in children)
Fatigue
Irritability or moodiness
Blurred vision
Nausea or vomiting
Skin, urinary, or vaginal infections
Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes
Talk with your doctor right away if you or your child is experiencing symptoms of type 1 diabetes. There are several tests that can be used to diagnose type 1 diabetes by checking the person’s glucose levels. These tests include a random blood sugar test, which measures glucose levels at a single point in time; glycated hemoglobin test (or A1C test), which measures average blood sugar levels over a 90-day period; and a fasting blood sugar test, which measures glucose levels after an overnight fast.
After these tests, you might be given additional tests to determine whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes Treatment
You can manage your type 1 diabetes and keep your blood sugar levels under control with medication and lifestyle changes. Treatment programs include:
Insulin
If you have type 1 diabetes, you will need to take artificial insulin every day, either through injection, or or with an insulin pump. You will also need to test your blood sugar regularly to monitor your glucose levels and calculate how much insulin you need that day.
Metformin
Metformin is an oral diabetes medication that can help manage blood sugar levels by improving your body’s ability to use insulin. While it was previously prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes, it is now sometimes also used in type 1 diabetes treatment if the patient is experiencing insulin resistance.
Other Medications
If your diabetes has led to other health problems, like high blood pressure, or kidney disease, your doctor might prescribe additional medications to help manage those conditions.
Diet & Exercise
Counting carbs, eating a healthy diet, staying physically active, and managing stress can all help manage your diabetes and keep blood sugar levels under control. Exercise can lower blood sugar, so it’s important to monitor your levels carefully and adjust your food intake or insulin dose to keep them balanced.
Curing Type 1 Diabetes
The Diabetes Research Institute is the best hope for a cure for type 1 diabetes. Scientists at the DRI are working to develop a biological cure that would restore the body’s ability to produce insulin naturally. One approach involves a technique called islet transplantation, in which cells from a healthy pancreas are injected into someone with type 1 diabetes.
In studies, several patients who received this treatment were able to significantly reduce the amount of artificial insulin they needed, or stopped needing it altogether. Clinical trials are now underway to make a biological cure for type 1 diabetes available to the general public.

Ruth Neave case. Rikki Neeve. - Credit: Archant
Major discrepancies in key witness statements are alleged by Ruth Neave, the former March woman pressing for the re-opening of the investigation into the murder of her six year-old son Rikki.
Ruth Neave case. - Credit: Archant
For two years Mrs Neave, and her husband Gary, have worked their way through thousands of pages of evidence used to by the prosecution when she stood trial both for the murder and for child cruelty.
A jury at Northampton Crown Court cleared her of murder but she received a seven year sentence after admitting child cruelty.
However Mrs Neave is determined that the killer of her son – found dead in a copse near to where he lived on a Peterborough housing estate nearly 20 years ago- is brought to justice.
Cambridgeshire police briefly re-opened the inquiry last year but closed it after claiming no further evidence had been found.
Now Mrs Neave has enlisted the help of MP Steve Barclay as part of a renewed bid to get the major crimes unit of Cambridgeshire, Herts and Bedfordshire to commission a major cold case review.
Following a meeting with Mr Barclay at his March office she has forwarded him some extracts from statements which she claims need further investigation and could help the search for her son’s murderer.

“These statements show that the police did not properly go back through the evidence last year,” said Mrs Neave. “Had they have done so they would have discovered what Gary and I have discovered and that is the evidence of key people simply don’t stack up.”
In one of the statements sent to Mr Barclay – which Mrs Neave hopes will be forwarded to cmurder “remains with me every single moment. All I want now is for someone, somewhere – and that has to be the police- to concede that maybe me and Gary have read through and pointed out enough to make them take a fresh look at the case”.
Mrs Neave, who is disabled and lives on state benefits, has spent hundreds of pounds paying for statements from the original trial to be made available to her.
Both she and Gary spend part of nearly every day working their way through the statements and listing areas where she feels the police may have missed something.
“Another major area of concern are the statements made by my former husband Dean,” she said.
Dean Neave, who died in a mysterious car crash in south Lincolnshire in 1999, says in one statement he was at his home near Wisbech – in a second statement he changes it and says he was near to his former wife’s home and in the company of three others.
“Another big issue for me is the stated time of Rikki’s death,” said Mrs Neave. “I’ve looked through around 20 statements of people who testified to having seen Rikki in or around the Welland estate in Peterborough on the day he went missing. Almost all of these statements were discounted by police at the time as ‘ghost sightings’ since it didn’t fit the pattern they had established of putting me in the frame for my son’s murder.”
Key to resolving the case could also hinge on the pathologist’s report presented to the jury at the murder trial.
Both she and Gary have contacted experts in their field to work out temperatures on an hourly basis throughout the period Rikki went missing and when he was discovered to challenge the time of death.
“The time of death is critical to solving this case” said Mrs Neave. “I’m no expert but I do believe we have raised enough queries for this to be another issue that needs revisiting.”
Amidst the boxes of files Mrs Neave has put together are timelines created by her and Gary using statements made by police at the time showing where people said they from the Monday morning when Rikki left for school (the last time Ruth saw him) to midday the following day when his body was found.
“The timelines are, quite simply, staggering,” she said. “There are many people who couldn’t possibly have been in two places at once – I want police to work with me, not against me, in trying to reconcile those statements with what we know of the death of my son.”
In recent months Mrs Neaves’ other three children – who were either taken into care or adopted following her sentence – have been active on social media talking about the case.
“There’s nothing much I can say or do about what they now say,” she said. “They were very young at the time and there is nothing I can do to change what happened. However they know I didn’t kill their brother, they know someone else must therefore be responsible and given time, once the killer is found, I would hope there can be some form of reconciliation.

Eight-year dispute on stall owner status over
Mon, 11 October 2021
Long Kimmarita
Chum Sokunthea, an investor who serves as director of the market, told The Post on October 11 that the two sides had disputed ownership for eight years because vendors claimed the stalls they occueam on August 21 to mediate between the vendors and Huoy, who had filed a complaint in court suing them for occupying the stalls without paying a fee.
Following mediation in August, Tay handed over the work to Kampot town governor Leang Roeun Sothy to deal with the matter after both parties had agreed to accept the four conditions.
Roeun Sothy told The Post on October 11 that after the meeting, the two sides on October 9 agreed to accept the solution and thumbprint the conditions to end the dispute.
He added that in the four conditions, the fish vendors occupying the 32 stalls had to hand over $5,000 per stall, a total of $160,000, to Huoy through the Kampot town hall.
He said Huoy agreed to accept the money and unconditionally withdraw the civil complaint from the court to end the dispute.
The third condition was that Sokunthea, the stall owner, agreed to pay $2,500 to repair the roof of the fish market.
The Kampot town hall also issued certificates of ownership to the vendors.
“We solved this dispute so people can benefit together … This has been a long-running dispute and has been mediated many times, but there was no common ground. We hope that they will be satisfied with the solution.”
Sokunthea said he was happy that both sides had resolved the issue and accepted the solution voluntarily.
“I do not want to see them file a complaint. I want to see them agree to the solution, because in the past the dispute had been mediated many times but failed.”
According to Sokunthea, the market was established about 40 years ago and sells all kinds of products. The market is one of the largest in the province and currently has more than 200 stalls.

Multisensory product experience
Multisensory product experience
Schifferstein HNJ., Spence C.
This chapter highlights the roles of the various senses and their interplay when people interact with different products. Besides highlighting the key theoretical debates in this area, the discussion centers on empirical data gathered in well-controlled experimental studies, as well as on survey data. It also highlights a number of examples where the theoretical principles of multisensory perception have actually been incorporated and tested in the design of everyday products. It describes a particular topic and then critically discusses a number of scientific studies that have investigated this topic. Typically, each topic can be characterized not only by its content but also by the specific approaches and research methods that are used. Additionally, where possible it outlines how this knowledge is used or can be used in the development of new products. It reviews what happens when people switch their attention between different sensory systems. Given that the senses typically do not work in isolation, but rather operate as an integrated whole, it discusses the links that people experience intuitively between phenomena occurring in different sensory modalities and the ways in which sensory information from the different modalities is integrated into a holistic product experience. Furthermore, it highlights some of the important emerging challenges currently facing researchers and designers in the area of multisensory product design. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.

PUBLISHED: September 25, 2020 at 7:30 a.m. | UPDATED: September 25, 2020 at 7:33 a.m.
Editor’s note: This is the final installment of a five-part serialization of “Three-Ring Circus,” Jeff Pearlman’s bing Circus
Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty
Parts1 2 3 4 5
The 1996-97 Lakers were a team. Led by the domble series for Los Angeles – the team fell behind 3 games to 1, and took the court for Game 5 in Salt Lake City in deep trouble. Yet what could have gone down as merely another playoff game became known for the youthful antics and misdeeds of Kobe Bryant, the talented, cocky rookie who never shied away from a big spot.
•••
On May 12, 1997, the Lakers and Jazz returned to Salt Lake City and the floor of the Delta Center for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
In order to advance to the next round, Los Angeles would need to win three straight (“It’s a challenge,” O’Neal said, “and I love challenges.”), which was somewhat less likely than a manned mission to Pluto. The Jazz were, simply, the superior team – more experienced, more cohesive, more skilled, better coached. (Jerry Sloan, in his ninth season as Utah head coach, seemed to have answers for everything Del Harris tried.)
The game commenced at 7:30 p.m., and after Utah jumped out to a 53–45 halftime lead, it was fair to assume that the fragile Lakers would meekly fade away. But they didn’t. Nick Van Exel, starting at point guard despite the drama, was ferocious, charging straight at John Stockton en route to 26 points and four assists. O’Neal, frustrated by Utah center Greg Ostertag’s physicality, added 23 points and 13 rebounds. With Byron Scott out with a sprained wrist, Harris summoned Kobe Bryant as his first man off the bench, hoping the rookie could handle the largeness of the moment.

The results were mixed. On the strength of a 10-point fourth-quarter surge, Los Angeles returned from the dead, tying the score at 70 with 8:01 remaining. But when O’Neal – trying to block a Malone jumper in the paint – fouled out with 1:46 left in regulation, and with forward Robert Horry long gone after being ejected for forearming Jeff Hornacek, Harris needed to devise a revamped scoring strategy on the quick.
His offensive options were plentiful: Van Exel, lightning-quick and a deadly three-point gunner; Eddie Jones, not playing particularly well but owner of one of the best first steps in the game; Jerome Kersey, a bit battered by age but a man who had averaged 19.2 points per game in his Portland heyday. “We were really, really talented,” recalled Jones. “Not the best team yet. But we weren’t lacking guys who could put the ball in the hole.”
That’s what makes what followed so bewildering. With 40 seconds on the clock, Stockton found himself guarded by Bryant just outside the three-point line. A year earlier, the youngster in charge of keeping the NBA’s greatest point guard in check had been attending prom. Hell, he wasn’t even that great a defender at Lower Merion. Stockton licked his chops, took a mini-step, then burst left past the rookie for an uncontested layup and a tied game at 89. It wasn’t merely poor crunch-time defense. It was nonexistent crunch-time defense.
Yet if Bryant wasn’t ready for the stage, his coach didn’t see it. Earlier in the year, Harris had sat down with the rookie to ask how things were progressing. He meant adjusting to Los Angeles, life with his older teammates, navigating the highways. Bryant wasn’t that type of conversationalist. Small talk wasn’t a go-to. Without pause he replied, “Coach, if you can get Shaq out of the paint and give me the ball, I’ll beat anyone in the league one-on-one.” The answer was preposterous, but also oddly inspiring in its confidence.
The Lakers regained possession with 11.3 seconds left and the score knotted at 89. During a timeout, Harris looked around the huddle and decided that the man to take the final shot in regulation would be the untested, undeserving, untrustworthy Kobe Bryant. He received the inbounds pass from Elden Campbell and methodically dribbled up the court. Three times with his right hand. Two times with his left. Right. Right. Right. The time was ticking away. With 6.5 seconds remaining, Bryant crossed half-court. Bryon Russell, Utah’s small forward, stood before him, crouching in anticipation. Van Exel, to Bryant’s left, clapped twice. Not enthusiastically. Casually.
With 4.2 seconds left, Bryant drove to his right, dribbling toward the paint, where Russell awaited. Standing at the three-point line, Van Exel could not have been more wide open. Standing along the baseline, Campbell could not have been more wide open. Jones, just outside the three-point line by the Lakers bench, was all alone. In fact, as the team prepared the possession, Harris had urged Bryant to get it to Jones. “The play was designed for me,” Jones recalled years later. “There’s this myth that none of us wanted the ball. Not true. I was ready to shoot, I wanted to shoot. Kobe had his own plan.” Bryant charged toward the paint, then stopped, planted 14 feet from the hoop, and shot a jumper over Russell that rose … rose … rose …
And touched nothing but air.
Utah’s Karl Malone grabbed the rebound and the clock expired. There would be overtime.
“It was a very weird moment,” said Stephen Howard, a Jazz forward. “You have this guy right out of high school and you’re putting the entire faith of the team in him breaking down Bryon, our best defender. That’s your play?”
The extra period began well. Without O’Neal, Campbell won the tip and got it into the hands of Bryant, who – following a brief, indecisive pause – flipped it to Van Exel. The point guard pump-faked, moved in past Stockton, failed to look toward an open Jones, started to shoot – then heard a wide-open Bryant calling for the ball behind the three-point line. Van Exel passed to Bryant, who bent his knees, lowered his shoulders, and – with no Utah player within 5 feet – let loose a shot that rose … rose … rose …
And touched nothing but air.
Again.
“My bad … my bad,” Bryant mouthed aloud as the sellout crowd delighted in the chant of “Aiirr balllll … Aiirr balllll!”

Harris, pacing the sideline, clapping reflexively, looked exasperated. As did the other Lakers. Once again, Jones believed he would be getting the ball. “I mean, it was supposed to be mine,” he recalled. “I would have loved for it to be mine to make or miss. But … Kobe.”
This made no sense. Even the last man in the rotation, rookie center Travis Knight, had played in some big games during his four years at the University of Connecticut. Why, with the heat turned up to 500 degrees, was Kobe Bryant launching shots?
“What the (expletive) are you shooting for?” asked Laker reserve forward Corie Blount. “That’s what it was for me. It had to be Eddie or Nick – not Kobe. Nobody expected Kobe to take that shot, because in the flow of the game you swing the ball, swing it some more. You expect it back. Then it’s up in the air, and then it’s ‘Holy (expletive) – he just shot an air ball.’ We knew we couldn’t control his need to force his will on the game, but … man. What the (expletive)?”
“Kobe had a lot of talent,” said Knight. “But he was not a very good jump shooter at that point. He definitely wasn’t the guy on our roster to take those shots.”
Over the next 3:09, the Jazz opened up a 96–93 lead, and the clock read :45 when Van Exel passed yet again to Bryant, two feet behind the three-point line. “We were on the bench saying, ‘Give it to Kobe again,’” recalled Howard. “‘Please give it to Kobe again.’” Had he looked right, even for a second, Bryant would have observed a wide-open Van Exel. Instead, he jumped into the air, extended his right arm, and let loose a shot that rose … rose … rose …
And touched nothing but air.
Sean Rooks, the backup center, standing beneath the basket, turned to flash Bryant a death glare. Bryant, walking back on defense, licked his lips and gazed straight ahead. “Once you shoot one air ball, you crawl into a hole,” said Howard. “He kept shooting.”
Surely this time Bryant was done. Surely this time Bryant had learned his lesson.
The Lakers got the ball back for one final chance. Down 96-93. Fifteen seconds remained. Van Exel dribbled up the court, where he was met by Stockton and Russell. He dribbled to his left before bounce-passing to Bryant. (Asked why he continued to pass to Bryant, Van Exel said, “He was my teammate and he was out there and he was open. What other choice is there?”) Jones stood alone in the corner, waiting for the pass that failed to come. With seven seconds left and Hornacek closing in, Bryant let loose a shot that rose … rose … rose …
And touched nothing but air.
On the Utah bench, Howard flashed a look of stunned disbelief as Foster and Chris Morris high-fived. The Jazz were moving on, the Lakers were going home.
And Kobe Bryant was … what?
As the Los Angeles players walked off the court, Bryant felt a large arm drape his shoulders. It was O’Neal, who later called B.S. on Jones’ claims of wanting the last shot. (“He’d freeze up in a tight situation, then act like it was no big deal,” he once wrote.) Having been the centerpiece of an Orlando team that was swept by Houston in the 1995 NBA Finals, O’Neal understood public sports humiliation.
“Look at all these people laughing at you,” he told Bryant. “One day we’re going to get them back. Don’t worry. Someday everybody’s going to be screaming your name. Take this and learn from it.”
The words, meant to comfort, were the soothing whispers of a franchise centerpiece trying to act the part of a leader. To the youngster, however, they mattered little. Bryant didn’t require coddling.
That night the Lakers returned home to Los Angeles for a long off-season of repair and introspection.
The next morning, Kobe Bryant was in the gym.
Taking 14-foot jump shots.

HiMirror Slide review: This smart mirror is the virtual skin analysis assistant you’ve always wanted
Posteis smart mirror is the virtual skin analysis assistant you’ve always wanted
Today’s Best HiMirror Slide Deals
The $99 HiMirror Slide smart vanity mirror is the world’s first interactive r and beautify your skin effectively and efficiently. From skin analysis and product tracking technology to personalized skincare recommendations and integrated access to a host of social media platforms (e.g. YouTube, Instagram, Google Duo and Facebook), the HiMirror Slide smart vanity mirror has a lot to offer for just $99.
HiMirror slide pricing and configurations
HiMirror slider is the best-selling smart mirror in the HiMirror series. Previously priced at $299, you can grab one now for $99. New year, new offer! “But what does that include?” you ask. Tell them what they won, Bob! The HiMirror Slide comes with 16GB of RAM, an 8-core ARM processor, an 8MP CMOS camera, WiFi connectivity and HiMirror Cloud. The icing on the cake, it also has facial recognition technology.
Makeup maestros who want something with a little more “ooph” can opt for the latest iteration of the HiMirror series: the HiMirror Mini Premium X, priced at $209. It has all the software and features of the HiMirror Slide, but the HiMirror Mini Premium X supports four users (instead of two) and offers more RAM (64 GB instead of 16 GB).
HiMirror Slide Design
The crisp white HiMirror slide comes with an 11-inch center mirror, adjustable ambient LED lights (via the opaque light panels on either side), and a 3.3x date/time display window 0.8 inches with bottom-level touch light control. The HiMirror logo is at the top of the light panel on the right. The unit is ultra lightweight at 1.9 pounds and measures 8.4 x 9.4 x 0.97 inches.

However, appearances can be deceiving. The HiMirror Slide is more than just a bright and cute makeup mirror to practice shaping your face like Jackie Aina. There’s a small handle on the back of the device that allows you to slide the mirror panel open (to the right) to reveal an 8-inch TFT LCD touchscreen that looks and functions like a Tablet.
A high-resolution camera sits in the upper-right corner of the touchscreen’s outer perimeter. The menu, mirror illumination and rear touch keys are positioned at the bottom. Two pin-sized holes, located at either end of the light panel on the left, are the device’s high-sensitivity microphone. There’s also a high-performance speaker on the back, along with the power button, power jack, reset button, and a USB 3.0 Type-A port.
(Image credit: Laptop Mag)
The unit’s foldable plastic swivel stand allows for portrait or landscape placement; it’s ideal for tucking away or packing in a carry-on or checked bag for that much-needed glamorous getaway. The stand could be stronger, but it does the job. There is a safety lock on the back of the HiMirror slide that provides stability when using the mirror with the sliding panel extended when you want to get your Nyma Tang fix. Youtube.
HiMirror Slide Features
This thing is feature rich. Owning a HiMirror Slide smart vanity mirror is like having a 24/7 skin care, beauty and makeup assistant.
Let’s start with the HiMirror Slide skin analyzer: a skin analysis engine that takes a picture of your face with the tablet’s camera and uses its patented skin analysis algorithm to summarize your skin’s needs. skin. The skin analyzer then gives advice on the causes and product recommendations based on your skin concerns, such as dark spots, fine lines, large pores, etc. You can favorite and/or buy the suggested product(s).
(Image credit: Laptop Mag)
A word of warning: you may only want to use the skin analyzer when you feel exceptionally confident, as the skin summary is brutal. I am 51 years old. I know I have fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots to contend with, but hearing him from what sounds like the stern voice from the GPS after I miss one of his directions (“Turn left. Turn left Recalculate!”) made me want to down a Tony’s Chocolonely Dark Milk Toffee Pretzel chocolate bar.
Makeup Studio is another awesome feature of HiMirror Slide. It’s a virtual makeover tool that uses augmented reality, allowing you to try on a full makeup face virtually. You can swap out your favorite colors and adjust the shading as you go. The only problem is that there is no product name on any of the makeup products. I even tried entering Makeup Studio color numbers into a search engine, but nothing came up. This design flaw prevents the Makeup Studio from being a truly beneficial tool, but it’s still fun to play with.
(Image credit: Laptop Mag)
Beauty Box is my favorite feature of the HiMirror Slide. It’s a skincare product management system that streamlines your skincare routine by keeping track of the products you use (by scanning them or adding them manually in the Beauty Tracker). Box) and monitoring the progress of your skin scan issues over time as you make adjustments to your routine. . For me, that’s it. I really like being able to enter not only my skincare products, but also my skincare devices and corresponding expiration dates, which I use as checkpoints to assess which parts of my skincare routine of the skin work.
At the end of the line
HiMirror, a two-time CES Innovations Award winner, developed the world’s first smart and interactive beauty mirror in 2016, and it has never looked back.
At $99, the HiMirror Slide smart vanity mirror offers a patented skin analysis algorithm, a virtual makeover tool, skincare product tracking to streamline your skincare routine, WiFi connectivity , HiMirror Cloud, Face ID recognition, Amazon Alexa compatibility, high performance speaker, high sensitivity microphone, adjustable ambient LED lights, third-party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Pandora, Spotify and Google Duo, and more.
The $99 HiMirror Slide smart vanity mirror is so innovative and feature-rich that its only competitors are other HiMirror models. Don’t let it pass your skin.

Build a museum that educates people on British Empire’s murderous rule over India, says acclaimed author | Independent
A worne of the “poorest, illiterate and diseased places on earth”.
Shashi Tharoor wants and “enduring reminder” to educate school children about how the British Empire killed millions, created famine and orchestrated a “divide and rule” campaign.
In an article for Al Jazeera, he said that India was one of the world’s richest countries before British rule, producing 27 per cent of the world’s gross domestic product in 1700.
Dr Shashi Tharoor tells the Oxford Union why Britain owes reparations
Britain reduced it “over two centuries of looting and exploitation, one of the poorest, most diseased and most illiterate countries on Earth,” added the 61-year-old MP, who chairs the Indian parliament’s foreign affairs committee.
“An enduring reminder is needed, both for Indian schoolchildren to educate themselves and for British tourists to visit for their own enlightenment,” he said. “As I say to young Indians: if you don’t know where you have come from, how will you appreciate where you are going?”
The London-born author notes that there is no museum devoted to Britain’s imperial conquest in India.
So the former United Nations secretary asked for the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata to be converted into a museum remembering the British Raj atrocities.
Five of the worst atrocities carried out by the British Empire
Among the incidents that need documenting are the Amritsar massacre, which saw colonial soldiers kill between 379 and 1,000 people who were peacefully protesting against British rule.
Another 1,100 were injured in just 10 minutes, under the orders of Brigadier Reginald Dyer, who was later lauded a hero by the British public, which raised £26,000 for him as a thank you.
Mr Tharoor added that there was also no memorial for “the deaths of 35 million Indians in totally unnecessary famines caused by British policy, or the ‘divide and rule’ policy that culminated in the horrors of Partition in 1947 when the British made their shambolic and tragic Brexit from the subcontinent.”
He said the “lack of such a museum is striking.”
Between 12 and 29 million Indians died of starvation during British rule.
Mr Tharoor also claimed that the Indian railway was a “colonial scam” designed to reap further British benefits.
“And at the end of it all, they went home to enjoy their retirements in damp little cottages with Indian names,” he added.
Graphiq
He also wrote how homosexuality is outlawed in India only because Britain suppressed the country’s ancient Hindu texts, which he believes were more liberal.
India, the world’s largest democracy, still allows Gay Pride marches in major cities however.
