1a: The aim of the proposed research is to understand pleiotropy: that is the nature, extent, and effect of genetic variation on multiple phenotypes. The extent of pleiotropy in humans is an important open question. Apart from inherent interest, it is directly relevant to the use of human genetics for improving drug development pipelines (see below). By their nature, studies of pleiotropy require data on multiple phenotypes. We aim to investigate pleiotropy using genetic data together with baseline measurements and the biomarker data (as it becomes available).
1b: Our analysis ultimately aims to inform decisions about which genes and pathways are the best targets for drug development. The efficacy and safety of therapeutics depends on the consequences of perturbations, by the drug, of particular gene products. Genetic variants also perturb the nature or amount of gene products, and is informative for drug efficacy, with effects on other phenotypes informative for on-target safety effects. The proposed work, mainly on non-clinical phenotypes, will involve proof-of-principle studies and development of statistical methods. We will make a further application when more clinical phenotypes are available in UK Biobank
1c: The research will use computers to build statistical models of the correlation between the genetic variation in an individual's genome and biological measurements collected by UK Biobank. We can use the research to ask: if the genetic difference in a gene mimics or is related to the effects of a treatment what is likely to be the (positive and negative) effects of giving it to patients? To do this effectively we will look at the relationship between genetic variation and multiple phenotypes at the same time.
1d: Full cohort.
Project extension:
"We would like to broaden the scope of our investigation using UK Biobank data to enable us to conduct research with increased relevance to healthcare. Specifically, we would like to extend our analyses of associations and correlations between genetic and phenotypic data to the additional clinical traits, such as the hospital episodes statistics / hospital inpatient data (HES) and primary care record (GP) data that is, or soon will be, available via UK Biobank. As per our initial application, we would also require access to all current and future biochemistry/biomarker data as and when this becomes available. We would not require access to any imaging data.
Linking the HES and GP data to genotype data in a large population will facilitate the detection of pleiotropy between a specific variant and a wide range of physiological and clinical outcomes. With reference to your recent guidance, we consider that the proposed broader scope of our project remains 'hypothesis-generating' in nature. We would continue to use all the requested data to develop our own statistical models for the analysis of linked genotypic and phenotypic information. Our overall aim remains to use a better understanding of human biology to help inform decisions about which genes and pathways are the best targets for drug development. The additional HES, PCR and biochemistry data will allow for an even better understanding of the efficacy and safety of therapeutics due to the increased clinical relevance of these traits. We may also use the HES and PCR data to define subtypes of a clinical condition based on other data available to us; define severity scales of a clinical condition, again based on other data; or to conduct further pharmacogenetic analyses."

World Bulletin/News Desk
At least six people were killed when hundreds of inmates broke out of a prison in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday, United Nations-supported radio and a local official said.
Prisoners killed two guards at a prison in Bukavu, capital of South Kivu province, stealing their weapons, a provincial government official told Reuters, asking not to be named. He said 301 of the prison's 1,500 inmates had escaped, but around 40 had been rearrested.
A Reuters witness heard gunshots in Bukavu following the escape.
Congo's U.N.-backed Radio Okapi reported six deaths in the breakout, of which three were inmates and three police.
Congo's prisons are notoriously overcrowded and mismanaged, and escapes are common. In late 2011, almost 1,000 prisoners escaped a jail in Katanga province following an attack to free a militia leader.Last Mod: 05 Haziran 2014, 22:26

Oklahoma Watch journalists received 10 awards, including six first-place honors, in the Oklahoma Society of Professional Journalists competition for work published in 2015.
First place awards went to Nate Robson in investigative reporting by an individual and in education reporting; M. Scott Carter and Clifton Adcock in investigative reporting by a team; Brad Gibson in best radio reporting portfolio and diversity reporting on radio, and Warren Vieth and Mark Lash in business reporting.
Robson's top honors stemmed from his series entitled "The Punishment Gap," about disparities in school discipline of special-education students. He also placed second in best reporting portfolio, which included stories about a surge in homeless students and graduation rates.
Carter and Adcock won for their investigation ("Prisoners of Debt") into the enormous fines and fees that the criminal justice system loads on inmates and their families. Adcock and Ben Fenwick were second in investigative reporting by a team for a series on law enforcement practices of civil asset forfeiture ("Stop and Seize"), in which authorities seize money and property without filing a criminal charge. Adcock won third in best reporting portfolio, which also included stories on mental health.
Gibson grabbed top honors for his series of four-minute radio segments, the "Oklahoma Watch Report," that air on public radio stations around the state. His pieces covered the long wait for state aid for parents of the developmentally disabled, teacher salaries and civil asset forfeiture.
Vieth and Lash were honored for a revealing series on business incentives and tax breaks ("Business Breaks"), which are under scrutiny because of a state budget crisis.
An Oklahoma Watch team of staff and student journalists captured second for a multimedia story related to the national outcry over a racist fraternity chant incident at the University of Oklahoma. The story, "Beyond the Racist Chant: The Facts About Black Inequality," featured text, interactive charts and video by Adcock, Robson, Carter and Fenwick as well as Victor Henderson and Arianna Pickard, then students at OU's Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Project Description
What if to protect your child, you had to keep him secret?
I'm going to make her scream my name, and tease her until she begs me to fill her up, inch by filthy inch. Mikhail Antonov stole his daughter from me once, but fate's given me a second chance and this time he doesn't get a say.
Her dad's a f**king bully. The rest of this crooked town might be terrified of him, but not me. Not now I've found Maya. Mikhail doesn't know it yet, but if he lays a hand on my woman, he's dead. I'm going to make her mine again, and he's not going to stop me – even if he does run the Russian mob.
If he stands in my way, I'll burn his town to the ground.
Conor Regan saved me twice before he even said hello. He made me happy for the first time I could remember. But then my mobster dad took it all away. When I saw Conor fighting in that cage four years later, it was everything I'd always wanted…and everything I'd ever feared.
Now we're balanced on a knife edge, with danger lurking on either side. Conor's like a drug to me, but every time I let him inside me, I'm risking everything I hold dear. I want him more than life itself, but I've got a secret that might ruin everything…
He's a dad.

TURULL, William F. "Pops"
William F. "Pops" Turull of Manchester, born in Brooklyn, NY, to William and Natalie on May 21, 1920, passed away Thursday (January 6, 2005). After serving as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force during World War II, Pops was employed by Pratt and Whitney Aircraft where he worked until retirement. While employed at Pratt and Whitney, he with the help of his children and wife, Jessica, founded Garden Sales of Manchester in 1952. Now operated by his son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Bonnie, with his grandson David, the business was featured in the spring issue of People Places and Plants, a national gardening magazine. Pops was a respected rosarian, sharing his love for and expertise with roses. He was a member of the Connecticut Nurserymen's and Landscaping Association, the American Rose Society and the Connecticut Rose Society. He was chairman of Club Project Rose, chairman of Consulting Rosarians, and Consultant Rosarian for the American Rose Society. Pops was the recipient of the Bronze Medal, the highest honor given to an individual on a local level, from the American Rose Society. He was a member of the Manchester Coon and Fox Club and the Second Congregational Church of Manchester where he served as a deacon and financial secretary to the Board of Trustees. William was predeceased by his sisters, Shirley Massey and Thelma Scavulo. He is survived by his children, Dolores and son-in-law, John Hamill of Sarasota, FL, Bill and daughter-in-law, Bonnie Turull of Manchester, and Barbara Turull Purple of Glastonbury. He also leaves grandchildren, Jeanne Thompson, Cori Wilde, Ed Hamill, Bill and David Turull, Linda Gross, and Lauren Purple; along with several great grandchildren, Sean, Dan and Addison Hamill, Hayden and Samantha Wilde, Dylan St. Jean Turull and Zachary Thompson. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, January 15 at the Second Congregational Church, 385 North Main St., Manchester, with a reception immediately following. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his memory to The Friends of Elizabeth Park, PO Box 370361, West Hartford, CT 06137.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
- Users can visit our site anonymously
- Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
- Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy', and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?
We do not allow third party behavioral tracking.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
This is a European Union (EU) law that took effect on May 25, 2018. The goal of GDPR is to give EU citizens control over their personal data and change the data privacy approach of organizations across the world. The goal of GDPR is to protect user's personally identifying information (PII) and hold businesses to a higher standard when it comes to how they collect, store, and use this data. The personal data includes: name, emails, physical address, IP address, health information, income, etc. We have implemented the requirements across our website.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
- We will notify the users via email
- Within 7 business days
- We will notify the users via insite notification
We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

A consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice and consulted on areas of specialism. But how good does it hold in the case of recruitment?
Look at the irony of the situation; we evaluate our own employees on them achieving targets, KRA's and a lot more. However, we are apprehensive of evaluating the quality standards of the consultants we eventually work with. In many ways, Recruitment consultants find themselves in a unique situation. Their objective has become registering profiles, adopting that can be best described as a lottery method of recruiting. They leave it to organizations to evaluate the best fit from the lot and hope for a closure that would eventually lead to revenue and recognition. If this is the recruitment model that you have adopted with your recruitment consultant, then I am here to tell you "Why you should fire your recruitment consultant"
Consultants are supposed to do their job. At the outset, have they qualified the requirement completely with the functional head? This is the foundation zone; most HR Managers and Consultants fail here. Never allow just your HR department to coordinate the details of the role with your consultant. Be magnanimous & allow the functional head to speak to the consultant. The consultant must be know why the requirement has been raised, what the consequences are if the role is not filled quickly, the degree of urgency to fill this role, key items to qualify the prospective against and the competitors he must look at. As well as the type of people who best fit your organization's culture, why your company is unique in the market, your plans for expansion over the next year. It's also a good idea to clarify the interview process, whom are they going to meet at the interview & the expectation in terms of timelines: how soon should the consultant turn around with ideal profiles. If your consultant is not asking you these details, Fire them!
Test their sources. Are they overtly dependent on popular job portals? Job portals are a cluster of individuals who are actively looking for opportunities. You may fall under a risk of having individuals who are prepared to be interviewed, designed to structure their conversations to please and also considering a host of other opportunities simultaneously. Ask your consultant: 'How well do you understand this sector/ this function, how strong are your references within this sector / industry. Where do the best references come from, what are your sources?'
Allow them to describe the benefits of their service and how they can help you & how their sources are not just 1 fold, but multifold. Speak to your consultant about the alternate sources they consider when working on a critical requirement. If the answers do not go beyond the portals, Fire Them!
Ask them about their recruitment strategy. Discuss it with them. If your consultant comes with the capability of building a plan that is customized for this mandate, ask him to explain the plan to you. Discuss the timelines involved. How soon can he turn around with suitable profiles, how does he evaluate the best from the rest, will he include a recommendation or a section containing consultant notes on why they believe that the profile is suitable for the organization? Demand this out of them. As a prospective employer, you have the right and the responsibility to know why the individual is motivated to consider an opportunity with your organization. If he is not motivated enough, you are just losing time on hiring the wrong individual. Exchange Commitments. Does your consultant have a backup strategy in mind? What if your A1 applicant drops out, could you risk the time? Educate your consultant on why he should recommend no more than 5 profiles for any mandate. If he does go beyond 5 profiles, either you have not educated him well about the mandate or he has not comprehended the expectations well. If they do not come with this capability, Fire Them!
Expect them to be meticulous about their work. Right from the first step of qualifying the role with you to the stage of handing the offer communication process, they are to survey the entire recruitment process. Expect them to assist with briefing both you and the prospective in the agenda of the discussion at the stage of every interview. Seek their assistance in communicating your thoughts to the candidate and vice versa. If your consultant does not come with great communication skills, Fire Them!
Professional Consultants are a cult, they are successful not merely because they do their work well, but the necessary support is provided to them by organizations. The more you share, the more you gain. Great consultants come with the ability to take on the mandate head on and deliver excellent results for you. They have the capacity to provide you a "great experience" in recruiting. Partner with them!

A story in the June 16, 2010, issue of Education Week about the Arizona law SB 1070 mischaracterized the 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Plyler v. Doe as barring schools from determining students' immigration status because of a potential "chilling" effect on their right to an education. That interpretation is offered by lawyers, but it is not in the court's opinion.

Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron has resigned as an MP. He leaves parliament with his political record in tatters. More than any other single person, Cameron is responsible for the UK's breakup with Europe and the potential collapse of the UK itself:
- He called the EU referendum believing (wrongly) that the UK would vote to Remain.
- The Leave majority required him to resign as Prime Minister in disgrace.
- Britain leaving the EU may yet trigger the collapse of the United Kingdom as a whole.
- SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon trying to get a new Scottish Independence referendum to stay in the EU.
- No one knows what is going to happen to Northern Ireland — which voted Remain.
- The Brexit result emboldened nationalists across Europe, and some are now demanding their own in/out referenda, threatening the entire existence of the EU.
- S&P Global said today: "The uncertainty surrounding the UK's future outside of the EU and the associated economic risks, which we think are pronounced and predominantly skewed to the downside, is likely to gradually take its toll."
This is all Cameron's fault.
His historic gamble was promising in 2013 to hold an in/out EU referendum in order to appease the nationalist wing of the Conservative Party and, hopefully, snuff out the UKIP threat that was peeling votes from the Tories. His bet was that Britain would do the expected thing: To realise that its economic bread was buttered on the European side.
In hindsight, Cameron's bet was a colossal blunder that could lead to the end of the "United Kingdom" of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as a whole. And it looks as if that one wrong decision from Cameron could destroy the whole thing.
The Scotland move is obvious: The SNP has only become more popular since the Scottish referendum of 2015, and English Leave votes just demonstrated to even loyal British Scots that the folks down South can't be trusted, again. It is really hard to see the Scottish majority re-emerging to stay inside a UK that isn't European.
UKIP emerged triumphant with the brexit result. It may yet go on to build itself into a potent third force, like the Front National in France.
The Ireland thing, however, is just astonishing.
Why should Northern Ireland be pulled out of the EU by English and Welsh votes? It's a legitimate, real question that has never been asked before. It just never came up! Yet Cameron made it a foreseeable reality.
"I thought about this long and hard over the summer," Cameron told Sky News. "In my view with modern politics, with the circumstances of my resignation, it isn't really possible to be a proper backbench MP as a former prime minister." He said it would only be a "diversion" if he stayed on and "I don't want to be that distraction."
shows what "the circumstances of my resignation" really are: it reveals how geographically split Cameron has left the country. Scotland is European. England and Wales are "independent." And Northern Ireland, separated by a sea from both Scotland and the mainland, voted to remain European.
Irish reunification outside of the UK suddenly, weirdly, makes a lot of sense (although Irish Unionists will oppose it bitterly) both politically and geographically.
It will be incredibly sad if Great Britain disappears because of this. There was nothing inherently wrong with the UK. It wasn't engaged in civil war. No one was deprived of the vote. We didn't divide the home countries into castes or ranks. People's movement wasn't restricted. Their wealth was not taxed or confiscated unfairly. (True, Northern Ireland was occupied by British troops for many years — but everyone hated that and it was solved in 1994 through the democratic process.) This nation has existed peacefully and prosperously with itself since 1707.
Europe, too: The EU is a deeply flawed institution but it has one shining achievement: There has not been a World War in Europe for 66 years. People forget that the original premise of the EU was to bind the countries together so that it would be economically impossible for them to wage war on each other, as they did twice in the last century. It worked.
That's the true tragedy here. We had a United Kingdom and peace in Europe in 2013. And then Cameron opened his mouth.
When Cameron resigned as PM this summer, he said, "I will do everything I can as Prime Minister to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months but I do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination."
It is interesting that he admitted "the ship" was not steady. Because he will forever go down in history as the captain who drove it onto the rocks.

International Crisis Group
16 December 2008
The inter-party negotiations that have sought to end Zimbabwes political, economic and now full-blown humanitarian crisis following the fraudulent June 2008 presidential election run-off are hopelessly deadlocked. ()
No new power-sharing formula premised on Mugabe remaining president and Tsvangirai becoming prime minister seems likely to produce a workable outcome. Nor does it seem realistic to contemplate any non-negotiated solution to the deadlock. Additional sanctions and other forms of external pressure could be applied but seem unlikely to be productive in the absence of a new approach. Despite the calls increasingly being made for outright military intervention to resolve the crisis, this seems a wholly unrealistic option, not least because regional resistance to any such course remains intense.
There is a possible negotiated way forward that could avoid Zimbabwes complete collapse. But it will need a radical shift in negotiating objectives by the countrys leaders and regional states, and the standing aside of Thabo Mbeki as mediator in favour of someone perceived as more neutral. The core idea is to establish a transitional administration, run by non-partisan experts, in which neither Mugabe nor Tsvangirai would have any position. ()

Tacoma Art Museum offers a Community Art Show Program featuring a rotation of four 11-week shows throughout the calendar year. The Community Art Show Program serves TAM's mission of connecting people through art by providing a space for community partners to gather and share their unique artistic talents, cultures and perspectives. The program enriches TAM's visitors' experiences by building awareness about the vibrant arts community in our region, highlighting local talent and encouraging involvement in the arts.
The current installation, "Like Mother, Like Daughter," is a community installation that features 22 multi-disciplinary artworks created by women in tribute to their mothers (and mothers everywhere). Our moms were jet-setters, ballerinas, writers, debutantes, scientists, pioneers, etc. Some survived wars, mental-illness, racism – their stories are as fascinating as the art they inspired. The artist-daughters in this show share visual and written stories, deeply considering the personal yet universal themes about one of the most beautiful and complex relationships – mother to daughter.
The installation opened in January, but the reception is coming up on March 15, the free Third Thursday. The reception will take place at the Cheney Classroom on TAM's third floor. The reception runs 5-7:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
This community installation has been curated by Kelly Lyles. Learn more about the artist at www.kellyspot.com.
"'Like Mother, Like Daughter' has grown every time we've shown it," said Lyles, "from 11 up to 25 multi-cultural artists working in every media. The hard part is turning them down since many more have asked to participate. We have a great line-up of art stars who jumped at the chance: Steve Jensen, Marita Dingus, Deborah Lawrence, Nancy Warden, June Sekiguchi, Diem Chau, etc. It's a powerful, moving show."
The show keeps growing. There were 12 participating artists when the first version of the show appeared at Shoreline City Hall in the fall of 2016. At Magnuson Park's gallery, the 2016 Mother's Day version incorporated 15 artists. There were 20 in the next incarnation at ArtXchange in Seattle's Pioneer Square and 25 at Gallery One in Ellensburg. Now a new version of the installation project is at the Tacoma Art Museum's Community Gallery.
"Strangers have thanked me for mounting the show," said Lyles, "Art Xchange mentioned visitors came back several times. Magnuson told us they learned to keep tissues at the desk. Even Jen Graves raved and blogged about us."
The impetus for "Like Mother, Like Daughter" was Lyles' realization that her own need to make work after her mother's death is a shared one. Her own responsive piece is exhibited along with the others that she curated to form the show. She chose artists that she admires, who have stories to tell. There are many fascinating tales from these artist/daughters, who are now of an age to ponder and explore this deeply personal yet universal theme. To enhance the narrative these artworks will have their stories posted alongside – the text is as important as the visual art.
"My mother," said Lyles, "was a debutante, model, actress, socialite, world traveler, and a 'hostess with the mostest,' entertaining everyone from RAF pilots to royalty. Beverlie Lyles was larger-than-life to her family, her community and beyond. The gentlemanly Spanish hospice director who spent weeks assisting her passage, knew of her history and therefore told me that it was an honor to be her caregiver. As her daughter, it wasn't until she passed away and I found myself researching her obituary that I realized what a truly extraordinary woman she was."
Other artists in the exhibition tell their stories visually and with accompanying text. These are a few examples:
June Sekiguchi's mother was a resilient Japanese lady who was relocated to 1950's Arkansas after the war. Arkansas was an alien landscape, both culturally and geographically land-locked for the only Asians in the region.
Marita Dingus' four-foot-something mother singly raised seven sons and daughters. All seven children became successful professionals, which was a major feat in the racially divided 50s and 60s.
Maura Donnegan's silk embroidery crosswords reference her upbringing in "the old country," taught generation to generation in Ireland.
Elana Winsberg paints herself in her mother's 80 coats, which her mother collected despite living in arid Palm Springs. Her mother gave up a scientific career to become a housewife. Was there is an element of camouflage or protection to her obsession?
David Francis requested inclusion in an almost all-female exhibition, and his piece is one of the most powerful. It is an assemblage piece in which a wooden box is lined with his German mother's WWII letters. When a little cage/wheel is turned, tiny fragments of her memories fall out, echoing her Alzheimer's disease.
Too often, in this youth culture, we dismiss seniors and overlook their fascinating histories. Our parents directly affect our lives, both environmentally and genetically. We are a reflection of the past. In viewing this installation, visitors can reflect on their own heritage – their parents' history, struggles and triumphs. Everyone can ask themselves, "What stories will people tell about us someday?"
This show provides visual beauty, emotional resonance and a thoughtful viewing experience. Lyles chose these specific artists both for their talent and to reflect diversity. The artists are of varied heritages and working in different media.

I finally got around to making a small swatch for my Project Yarnway challenge. It did not go as planned. 😦 I am have a difficult time figuring out how to use the larger beads unless I sew them on later and the small beads just did not sit well in the knitted swatch. I have never knitted with beads before and I had no idea what a pain in the %*& that is. I am torn….keep on trying, change the stitch, get actual yarn that not embroidery floss so it goes or little faster or scrap the whole idea…..
Maybe I just have cabin fever. I am SO sick of winter already. It just has been so cold the past few weeks, but the flowers are starting to come up and I have been seeing some of the seasonal birds like the cardinals, robins and finches are back. I have winter. Can't wait for the summer….I'll have to post about my little island next time…..

Stooges Guitarist Ron Asheton Dead At 60
Watch The Stooges In Action
The Stooges Perform "TV Eye" And "1970," Live In Cincinnati, 1970 (a.k.a. "The Peanut Butter Incident")
Robert Mathieu
The Stooges stayed together for less than five years, but many punk guitarists taught themselves to play by strumming along to the band's records. In fact, Rolling Stone named Asheton the 29th most influential guitar player of all time. Asheton's sound was choppy, distorted and intense. It helped define American punk.
When The Stooges broke up, Asheton tried to get his own record deal, failed, and turned to painting as a sideline, though he said he greatly enjoyed touring with The Stooges when the band got back together in 2006. Asheton died at his house in Ann Arbor, Mich., sometime over the past few days, apparently of natural causes.

Persil is a detergent that sets itself particular challenges – and has been for some 100 years now. Purity, performance and the protection of textiles are at the centre of our research and development in order to achieve the best result for you – always.
The variety of materials and textile configurations has never been greater than today. All the more reason to do justice to these materials with a suitable detergent – so that you can enjoy your favourite pieces for the long term. Your textiles are to be clean and stain-free, colours should remain brilliant and the fabric should be as beautiful as on the first day.
In order to achieve that, a great many elaborate tests are conducted, because that's the only way we can ensure that we're offering you reliable quality.
A small overview of the different tests:
Frequently occurring soiling such as cocoa, make-up, lipstick, and machine oil are applied to pieces of laundry with a special stain-applying machine. The even, almost identical stains result in ideal conditions for comparative washing tests that are conducted with 400 washing machines of various manufactures or various countries of origin.
That means we wash and then evaluate 2.2 million stains every year. We're able to check whether the textiles are affected by greying or whether the colours stay intact in our matching room under special, constant light conditions.
In the climate chamber with constant humidity, the textiles are then tested for tensile strength, roughening of the surface and slubs.
These procedures enable us to realize our vision: to be a leader in brands and technologies that make life easier, better and more beautiful for you.

Dorothy Mackey, Plaintiff-appellant, v. United States of America, Defendant-appellee, 226 F.3d 773 (6th Cir. 2000)Annotate this Case
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio at Dayton. No. 96-00140--Susan J. Dlott, District Judge.
Joanne Jocha Ervin, Dayton, Ohio, for Appellant.
Robert D. Kamenshine, Daniel L. Kaplan, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, CIVIL DIVISION, APPELLATE STAFF, Washington, D.C., for Appellee.
Before: NELSON and NORRIS, Circuit Judges; MATIA, District Judge* .
ALAN E. NORRIS, Circuit Judge.
This appeal comes to us for the second time. In 1998, this court reversed an order of the district court holding that the individual defendants named in the complaint were not acting within the scope of their employment. On remand, the district court entered an order substituting the United States as defendant and dismissing the case pursuant to the Feres doctrine, which bars claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA") for injuries that arise incident to military service. See Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135 (1950).
On appeal, plaintiff Dorothy Mackey maintains that the Feres doctrine does not apply to claims involving intentional torts. She also argues that, even if the doctrine is generally applicable to such claims, it does not apply to this case.
The circumstances giving rise to this case are fully set forth in our earlier opinion and we will not restate them in detail here. See Mackey v. Milam, 154 F.3d 648, 649-50 (6th Cir. 1998), cert. denied, 119 S. Ct. 2393 (1999). Briefly, Mackey filed suit in state court against her superior officers in the United States Air Force, alleging sexual harassment. When the U.S. Attorney certified that the officers were acting within the scope of their employment, the case was removed to federal court and the United States was substituted as defendant. The district court determined that the officers were not acting within the scope of their employment, but certified that decision for interlocutory appeal. We reversed, holding that the officers were acting within the scope of their employment when they allegedly harassed Mackey. See id. at 652.
On remand, the district court entered judgment for the United States, stating:
This matter is before the Court upon the mandate of the [Sixth Circuit]. Based upon such mandate, the Court finds that the individual defendants were acting within the scope of their employment. Therefore, the United States is hereby substituted as the defendant in this case, and the matter is not remanded to the Ohio state court. Under the Feres doctrine, "the Government is not liable where the injuries arise out of or are in the course of activity incident to service." Feres v. United States, 340 U.S. 135, 146 (1950).
The FTCA waives the United States' liability for tort claims, subject to certainexceptions. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 2674, 2680. The "Feres doctrine" refers to the Supreme Court's conclusion that "the Government is not liable under the Federal Tort Claims Act for injuries to servicemen where the injuries arise out of or are in the course of activity incident to service." Feres, 340 U.S. at 146.
With respect to the claims that are at issue in this appeal, Mackey makes two major arguments1 . First, she argues that the Feres doctrine does not apply to intentional torts. Second, she argues that, even if the Feres doctrine does apply to intentional torts, it should not be applied under the circumstances of this case. Neither argument is persuasive.
A. Application to Claims of Intentional Torts
Mackey argues that the Feres doctrine applies only to claims of negligence. She correctly points out that the situations addressed in Feres involved claims of negligence. She further maintains that the doctrine is derived from the first exception to the FTCA, which excludes from suit " [a]ny claim based upon an act or omission of an employee of the Government, exercising due care, in the execution of a statute or regulation." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2680(a) (1994). Mackey's implicit argument seems to be that if the Feres doctrine is derived from an exception using terms of negligence, it must be targeted solely at negligence.
Nothing in Feres suggests that it is derived from the "due care" exception to the FTCA. Instead, the Feres doctrine stems from the exception for claims "arising out of the combatant activities of the military or naval forces, or the Coast Guard, during time of war." 28 U.S.C.A. § 2680(j); see Fleming v. United States Postal Serv., 186 F.3d 697, 699 (6th Cir. 1999) (indicating that the Feres doctrine is a broadening of the section 2680(j) exception).
Furthermore, the rationales behind the doctrine are not limited to situations of negligence. In United States v. Shearer, 473 U.S. 52 (1985), the Court identified the underlying rationales as: (1) the peculiar and special relationship of the soldier to his superiors; (2) the effects of the maintenance of such suits on discipline; and (3) the extreme results that might obtain if suits under the FTCA were allowed for negligent orders given or negligent acts committed in the course of military duty. See id. at 57 (quoting United States v. Muniz, 374 U.S. 150, 162 (1963)). A later case, United States v. Johnson, 481 U.S. 681 (1987), set out the underlying rationales as: (1) the distinctively federal character of the relationship between the government and members of its armed forces; (2) the existence of generous statutory disability and death benefits; and (3) the impact of allowing lawsuits, which would involve the judiciary in sensitive military affairs at the expense of military discipline and effectiveness. See id. at 689-91.
The Supreme Court has also applied the Feres doctrine to more than just negligence claims. Specifically, Feres has been applied to claims of constitutional violations alleged in Bivens actions. See, e.g., Chappell v. Wallace, 462 U.S. 296, 303-04 (1983) (involving claim of race discrimination). In Chappell, the Court indicated that:
The special nature of military life - the need for unhesitating and decisive action by military officers and equally disciplined responses by enlisted personnel - would be undermined by a judicially created remedy exposing officers to personal liability at the hands of those they arecharged to command. Here, as in Feres, we must be "concern [ed] with the disruption of ' [t]he peculiar and special relationship of the soldier to his superiors' that might result if the soldier were allowed to hale his superiors into court."
Id. at 304. The Court also indicated that Congress had not provided a damages remedy for claims by military personnel of violations of constitutional rights. See id. Putting together the "unique disciplinary structure" of the military and Congress' (lack of) activity in the field, the Court held that military personnel did not have available to them a Bivens-type remedy against their superior officers. See id. While Congress' activity in the field is different with respect to Mackey's claims as opposed to Bivens-type claims, the rationale expressed in Chappell regarding the special nature of military life applies equally to the present case.
There is no authority in the FTCA or Supreme Court precedent to apply the Feres doctrine only to claims of negligence and not to claims of intentional torts. We join with the other United States Courts of Appeals that have addressed the issue and hold that the Feres doctrine applies to intentional torts. See Bois v. Marsh, 801 F.2d 462, 471 (D.C. Cir. 1986); Trerice v. Summons, 755 F.2d 1081, 1084-85 (4th Cir. 1985); Stubbs v. United States, 744 F.2d 58, 59-61 (8th Cir. 1984); Mollnow v. Carlton, 716 F.2d 627, 628 (9th Cir. 1983); Jaffee v. United States, 663 F.2d 1226, 1235 (3d Cir. 1981) (en banc); Citizens Nat'l Bank of Waukegan v. United States, 594 F.2d 1154, 1157 (7th Cir. 1979); Rotko v. Abrams, 455 F.2d 992 (2d Cir. 1972) (per curiam).
B. Application to Circumstances of this Case
Mackey also argues that, even if the Feres doctrine applies to intentional tort claims, the underlying principles of the doctrine do not apply to her case. Her argument focuses on the potential impact to military discipline.
According to Mackey, allowing her suit would not negatively impact military discipline because the need for such discipline has never been adequately supported. Despite her arguments, the Supreme Court has held that military discipline is a matter of concern and that allowing lawsuits would impair such discipline. See Shearer, 473 U.S. at 57; Johnson, 481 U.S. at 690-91.
Mackey also argues that her claims do not implicate issues of judgment, discretion, or command because the activities she complains of "simply cannot be viewed as acceptable in any fashion." She maintains that she is not challenging any work assignments, discipline, or evaluations, nor is she challenging her superiors' authority to give her orders. Review of the Supreme Court's concerns with respect to military discipline demonstrates that this case would impact military discipline. In Shearer, a serviceman was kidnaped and murdered by another serviceman who had been convicted of manslaughter while assigned to a different Army base. See 473 U.S. at 53-54. The deceased serviceman's mother sued the Army alleging that it was negligent in how it dealt with the previously convicted serviceman. The Court found that the allegations in Shearer went directly to the management of the military, calling into question "basic choices about the discipline, supervision, and control of a serviceman." Id. at 58. The Court pointed out that the claims would require officers to testify as to each other's decisions and actions, meaning that commanding officers would have to stand prepared to convince a civilian court of the wisdom of a wide range of military and disciplinary decisions. See id. In the present case, the same sort of testimony would be required. See also Major v. United States, 835 F.2d 641, 645 (6th Cir. 1987) (applying Feres doctrine to claims that military officers failed to follow regulations prohibiting on-base consumption ofalcohol because a challenge to the officers' actions would require them to testify about military decisions relating to alcohol on base as well as disciplinary policies for infractions of rules).
Mackey also maintains that any potential harm to military discipline cannot overcome the actual harm to the public interest of denying her a remedy for the conduct alleged in this case. The government counters by pointing out that application of the immunity doctrine neither minimizes the seriousness of the alleged sexual misconduct, nor completely deprives Mackey of a remedy in light of the availability of discipline through the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 801, et seq., and the existence of benefits programs available to injured service members. See Smith v. United States, 196 F.3d 774, 778 (7th Cir. 1999), cert. denied, 120 S. Ct. 1676 (2000). The logic of Mackey's argument is also undermined by Feres progeny in general. See, e.g., Shearer, 472 U.S. at 53 (implying that interest in military discipline overcomes public interest in preventing kidnaping and murders).
Finally, Mackey appears to argue that Feres should be overruled. While there are many arguments available to criticize the Feres doctrine, see, e.g., Johnson, 581 U.S. at 692-701 (Scalia, J., dissenting), this court cannot overrule Supreme Court precedent. See Hutto v. Davis, 454 U.S. 370, 375 (1982).
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
The Honorable Paul R. Matia, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, sitting by designation.
The only claims at issue in this appeal are those for intentional infliction of emotional distress, sexual harassment, and sex discrimination. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2680(h) (providing that the FTCA does not apply to " [a]ny claim arising out of assault, battery, . . . or interference with contract rights").

This weekend, a joint seminar of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) and its partner organisation Νεολαία Ευρωπαϊκή Έκφραση ("European Expression Youth", EEY) is about to take off. Over the course of six weekends, 25 Greek students and young professionals will learn about principles of liberalism, European integration and social market economy.
"It is of utmost importance to educate young people on the fundamentals of liberalism in order to get a less statist society in the future", Hans Stein, the Director of Political Dialogue of FNF, said. "We are very happy with European Expression Youth to sincerely tackle that challenge during these difficult times." Athanasios Grammenos, President of EEY and organizer of the seminars, added: "Through FNF I had the chance to see liberal approaches work in other European countries. With the seminars, we want to show to the Greek youth that a change for the better is actually possible".
For the next two months, prominent liberals like Thodoros Skylakakis MEP and well-known Greek protagonists such as Pashos Mandravelis (Columnist at Kathimerini) or Prof. Aristides Hatzis (University of Athens) will convey their views on liberalism and the future of Greece to students and young professionals. We will keep you posted.

A tracking system is installed in every NFL venue which is composed of:
Altogether, an estimated 250 devices are in a venue for any given game. A team of three operators is required at every game to confirm that all tracking systems are functioning properly.
The NFL worked closely with team equipment managers to determine the best size and location of the tags in the shoulder pads. Game balls must adhere to the NFL's specifications. Wilson, the Competition Committee and NFL quarterbacks tested different tracking devices to ensure that the chips would not impact the flight of the ball.
The tracking system captures player data such as location, speed, distance traveled and acceleration at a rate of 10 times per second, and charts individual movements within inches. The raw data is used to automate player participation reports, calculate performance metrics, and derive advanced statistics through machine learning (ML) on AWS. More than 200 new data points are created on every play of every game.
Examples of each are included below:
Distance Traveled
