BACKGROUND: Real-time polymerase chain reaction using nasopharyngeal swabs is currently the most widely used diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 detection. However, false negatives and the sensitivity of this mode of testing have posed challenges in the accurate estimation of the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection rates. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether technical and, therefore, correctable errors were being made with regard to nasopharyngeal swab procedures. METHODS: We searched a web-based video database (YouTube) for videos demonstrating SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab tests, posted from January 1 to May 15, 2020. Videos were rated by 3 blinded rhinologists for accuracy of swab angle and depth. The overall score for swab angle and swab depth for each nasopharyngeal swab demonstration video was determined based on the majority score with agreement between at least 2 of the 3 reviewers. We then comparatively evaluated video data collected from YouTube videos demonstrating the correct nasopharyngeal swab technique with data from videos demonstrating an incorrect nasopharyngeal swab technique. Multiple linear regression analysis with statistical significance set at P=.05 was performed to determine video data variables associated with the correct nasopharyngeal swab technique. RESULTS: In all, 126 videos met the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. Of these, 52.3% (66/126) of all videos demonstrated the correct swab angle, and 46% (58/126) of the videos demonstrated an appropriate swab depth. Moreover, 45.2% (57/126) of the videos demonstrated both correct nasopharyngeal swab angle and appropriate depth, whereas 46.8% (59/126) of the videos demonstrated both incorrect nasopharyngeal swab angle and inappropriate depth. Videos with correct nasopharyngeal swab technique were associated with the swab operators identifying themselves as a medical professional or as an Ear, Nose, Throat-related medical professional. We also found an association between correct nasopharyngeal swab techniques and recency of video publication date (relative to May 15, 2020). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show that over half of the videos documenting the nasopharyngeal swab test showed an incorrect technique, which could elevate false-negative test rates. Therefore, greater attention needs to be provided toward educating frontline health care workers who routinely perform nasopharyngeal swab procedures.

This report aimed to provide an overview of the epidemiological situation of COVID-19 in Morocco and to review the actions carried out as part of the national response to this pandemic. The methodology adopted was based on literature review, interviews with officials and actors in the field, and remote discussion workshops with a multidisciplinary and multisectoral working group. Morocco took advantage of the capacities already strengthened within the framework of the application of the provisions of the International Health Regulations (IHR) of 2005. A SWOT analysis made it possible to note that an unprecedented political commitment enabled all the necessary means to face the pandemic and carry out all the response activities, including a campaign of relentless communication. Nevertheless, and despite the efforts made, the shortage of human resources, especially those qualified in intensive care and resuscitation, has been the main drawback to be addressed. The main lesson learned is a need to further strengthen national capacities to prepare for and respond to possible public health emergencies and to embark on a process overhaul of the health system, including research into innovative tools to ensure the continuity of the various disease prevention and control activities. In addition, response to a health crisis is not only the responsibility of the health sector but also intersectoral collaboration is needed to guarantee an optimal coordinated fight. Community-oriented approaches in public health have to be strengthened through more participation and involvement of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society in operational and strategic planning.

Expanding our global testing capacity is critical to preventing and containing pandemics1-9. Accordingly, accessible and adaptable automated platforms that in decentralized settings perform nucleic acid amplification tests resource-efficiently are required10-14. Pooled testing can be extremely efficient if the pooling strategy is based on local viral prevalence15-20; however, it requires automation, small sample volume handling and feedback not available in current bulky, capital-intensive liquid handling technologies21-29. Here we use a swarm of millimetre-sized magnets as mobile robotic agents ('ferrobots') for precise and robust handling of magnetized sample droplets and high-fidelity delivery of flexible workflows based on nucleic acid amplification tests to overcome these limitations. Within a palm-sized printed circuit board-based programmable platform, we demonstrated the myriad of laboratory-equivalent operations involved in pooled testing. These operations were guided by an introduced square matrix pooled testing algorithm to identify the samples from infected patients, while maximizing the testing efficiency. We applied this automated technology for the loop-mediated isothermal amplification and detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in clinical samples, in which the test results completely matched those obtained off-chip. This technology is easily manufacturable and distributable, and its adoption for viral testing could lead to a 10-300-fold reduction in reagent costs (depending on the viral prevalence) and three orders of magnitude reduction in instrumentation cost. Therefore, it is a promising solution to expand our testing capacity for pandemic preparedness and to reimagine the automated clinical laboratory of the future.

SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis is a cornerstone for the management of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Numerous studies have assessed saliva performance over nasopharyngeal sampling (NPS), but data in young children are still rare. We explored saliva performance for SARS-CoV-2 detection by RT-PCR according to the time interval from initial symptoms or patient serological status. We collected 509 NPS and saliva paired samples at initial diagnosis from 166 children under 12 years of age (including 57 children under 6), 106 between 12 and 17, and 237 adults. In children under 12, overall detection rate for SARS-CoV-2 was comparable in saliva and NPS, with an overall agreement of 89.8%. Saliva sensitivity was significantly lower than that of NPS (77.1% compared to 95.8%) in pre-school and school-age children but regained 96% when considering seronegative children only. This pattern was also observed to a lesser degree in adolescents but not in adults. Sensitivity of saliva was independent of symptoms, in contrary to NPS, whose sensitivity decreased significantly in asymptomatic subjects. Performance of saliva is excellent in children under 12 at early stages of infection. This reinforces saliva as a collection method for early and unbiased SARS-CoV-2 detection and a less invasive alternative for young children.

BACKGROUND: High cost of commercial RNA extraction kits limits the testing efficiency of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we developed a simple nucleic acid extraction method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 directly from nasopharyngeal swab samples. METHODS: A pH sensitive dye was used as the end point detection method. The obvious colour changes between positive and negative reactions eliminates the need of other equipment. RESULTS: Clinical testing using 260 samples showed 92.7% sensitivity (95% CI 87.3-96.3%) and 93.6% specificity (95% CI 87.3-97.4%) of RT-LAMP. CONCLUSIONS: The simple RNA extraction method minimizes the need for any extensive laboratory set-up. We suggest combining this simple nucleic acid extraction method and RT-LAMP technology as the point-of care diagnostic tool.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 self-testing (ST) is an innovative strategy with the potential to increase the access and uptake of testing and ultimately to limit the spread of the virus. To maximize the uptake and reach of this promising strategy and inform intervention development and scale up, research is needed to understand the acceptability of and willingness to use this tool. This is vital to ensure that Black/African Americans are reached by the Biden-Harris Administration's free national COVID-19 ST program. This study aimed to explore the acceptability and recommendations to promote and scale-up the uptake of COVID-19 ST among Black/African Americans. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional qualitative study using a semi-structured questionnaire to assess barriers and facilitators to the uptake of COVID-19 ST among a convenience sample of 28 self-identified Black/African Americans from schools, community centers, and faith-based institutions in Ohio and Maryland. Inductive content analysis was conducted to identify categories and subcategories related to acceptability and recommendations for implementing and scaling up COVID-19 ST in communities. RESULTS: Participants perceived COVID-19 self-testing as an acceptable tool that is beneficial to prevent transmission and address some of the barriers associated with health facility testing, such as transportation cost and human contact at the health facility. However, concerns were raised regarding the accurate use of the kits and costs. Recommendations for implementing and scaling up COVID-19 ST included engagement of community stakeholders to disseminate information about COVID-19 self-testing and creating culturally appropriate education tools to promote knowledge of and clear instructions about how to properly use COVID-19 ST kits. Based on these recommendations, the COVID-19 STEP (Self-Testing Education and Promotion) Project is being developed and will involve engaging community partners such as barbers, church leaders, and other community-based organizations to increase the uptake and use of free COVID-19 ST kits among Black/African Americans. CONCLUSION: Findings showed that most participants considered COVID-19 ST valuable for encouraging COVID-19 testing. However, cost and accuracy concerns may pose barriers. Future work should consider implementing interventions that leverage the benefits of COVID-19 ST and further assess the extent to which these identified facilitators and barriers may influence COVID-19 ST uptake.

Saliva has been demonstrated as feasible alternative to naso-oropharyngeal swab (NOS) for SARS-CoV-2 detection through reverse transcription quantitative/real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). This study compared the diagnostic agreement of conventional NOS, saliva with RNA extraction (SE) and saliva without RNA extraction (SalivaDirect) processing for RT-qPCR in identifying SARS-CoV-2. All techniques were also compared, as separate index tests, to a composite reference standard (CRS) where positive and negative results were defined as SARS-CoV-2 detection in either one or no sample, respectively. Of 517 paired samples, SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 150 (29.01%) NOS and 151 (29.21%) saliva specimens. The saliva-based tests were noted to have a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy (95% confidence interval) of 92.67% (87.26%, 96.28%), 97.55% (95.40%, 98.87%) and 96.13% (94.09%, 97.62%), respectively, for SE RT-qPCR and 91.33% (85.64%, 95.30%), 98.91% (97.23%, 99.70%) and 96.71% (94.79%, 98.07%), respectively, for SalivaDirect RT-qPCR compared to NOS RT-qPCR. Compared to CRS, all platforms demonstrated statistically similar diagnostic performance. These findings suggest that both conventional and streamlined saliva RT-qPCR are at least non-inferior to conventional NOS RT-qPCR in detecting SARS-CoV-2.

BACKGROUND: People experiencing homelessness who live in congregate shelters are at high risk of SARS-CoV2 transmission and severe COVID-19. Current screening and response protocols using rRT-PCR in homeless shelters are expensive, require specialized staff and have delays in returning results and implementing responses. METHODS: We piloted a program to offer frequent, rapid antigen-based tests (BinaxNOW) to residents and staff of congregate-living shelters in San Francisco, California, from January 15th to February 19th, 2021. We used the Reach-Effectiveness-Adoption-Implementation-Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to evaluate the implementation. RESULTS: Reach: We offered testing at ten of twelve eligible shelters. Shelter residents and staff had variable participation across shelters; approximately half of eligible individuals tested at least once; few tested consistently during the study. Effectiveness: 2.2% of participants tested positive. We identified three outbreaks, but none exceeded 5 cases. All BinaxNOW-positive participants were isolated or left the shelters. Adoption: We offered testing to all eligible participants within weeks of the project's initiation. Implementation: Adaptations made to increase reach and improve consistency were promptly implemented. Maintenance: San Francisco Department of Public Health expanded and maintained testing with minimal support after the end of the pilot. CONCLUSION: Rapid and frequent antigen testing for SARS-CoV2 in homeless shelters is a viable alternative to rRT-PCR testing that can lead to immediate isolation of infectious individuals. Using the RE-AIM framework, we evaluated and adapted interventions to enable the expansion and maintenance of protocols.

BACKGROUND: Although serologic tests for COVID-19 diagnosis are rarely indicated nowadays, they remain commercially available and widely used in Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of anti-SARS-CoV-2antibody diagnostic tests for COVID-19 in Brazil. METHODS: Eleven commercially available diagnostic tests, comprising five lateral-flow immunochromatographic assays (LFAs) and six immunoenzymatic assays (ELISA) were analyzed from the perspective of the Brazilian Unified Health System. RESULTS: The direct costs of LFAs ranged from US$ 11.42 to US$ 17.41and of ELISAs, from US$ 6.59 to US$ 10.31. Considering an estimated disease prevalence between 5% and 10%, the anti-SARS-CoV-2 ELISA (IgG) was the most cost-effective test, followed by the rapid One Step COVID-19 Test, at an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of US$ 2.52 and US$ 1.26 per properly diagnosed case, respectively. Considering only the LFAs, at the same prevalence estimates, two tests, the COVID-19 IgG/IgM and the One Step COVID-19 Test, showed high effectiveness at similar costs. For situations where the estimated probability of disease is 50%, the LFAs are more costly and less effective alternatives. CONCLUSIONS: Nowadays there are few indications for the use of serologic tests in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and numerous commercially available tests, with marked differences are observed among them. In general, LFA tests are more cost-effective for estimated low-COVID-19-prevalences, while ELISAs are more cost-effective for high-pretest-probability scenarios.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory disease that can be transmitted through human exhaled breath. It has caused immense loss and has challenged the healthcare sector. It has affected the economy of countries and thereby affected numerous sectors. Analysis of human breath samples is an attractive strategy for rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 by monitoring breath biomarkers. CONTENT: Breath collection is a noninvasive process. Various technologies are employed for detection of breath biomarkers like mass spectrometry, biosensors, artificial learning, and machine learning. These tools have low turnaround time, robustness, and provide onsite results. Also, MS-based approaches are promising tools with high speed, specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, and broader coverage, as well as its coupling with various chromatographic separation techniques providing better clinical and biochemical understanding of COVID-19 using breath samples. SUMMARY: Herein, we have tried to review the MS-based approaches as well as other techniques used for the analysis of breath samples for COVID-19 diagnosis. We have also highlighted the different breath analyzers being developed for COVID-19 detection.

Despite the accuracy of nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs), rapid antigen tests (RATs) for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 are widely used as point-of-care tests. A total of 282 pairs of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Standard Q COVID-19 Ag tests were serially conducted for 68 patients every 3-4 days until their discharge. Through a field evaluation of RATs using direct nasopharyngeal swabs, the sensitivities were 84.6% and 87.3% for E and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes, respectively, for specimens with cycle thresholds (Cts) < 25. The Ct values of E and RdRp genes for 95% detection rates by RATs were 16.9 and 18.1, respectively. The sensitivity of RAT was 48.4% after the onset of symptoms, which was not sufficient. RAT positivity gradually decreased with increased time after symptom onset and had continuously lower sensitivity than NAATs.

After investing , 500 billion on a rescue bundle to help stabilise the UK banking system and bring back market confidence, both regulators and the government were anxious to put steps in place to prevent such a crisis from ever occurring again. A key part of this method was to motivate more competition in the banking sector to reduce the supremacy of the huge banks in the market. With the levelling of the playing field, chances were also opened for business owners to bring a digital transformation to the banking area. Not just did this bring development in brand-new innovation, but a relocation away from the standard High Street banking model, and the birth of the Opposition Banks.

In the last article in this series, "The Voice of We the People", we began a discussion about Congress. We said Congress is designed to be the most powerful branch of our government, and is designed to be the branch where the voice of "We the People" is the loudest and most powerful. Congress is also characterized by an amazing compromise designed by our founders that balances the interests of the larger states with the interests of the smaller ones. The foresight and wisdom of our founders is amazing! Let's look a little closer at their creation of this "bicameral" (2 house) Congress, how it was designed to work, and most importantly, find out who represents YOU in Congress, how those people voted on legislation that is important to you, and how you can contact their offices so you can hold them accountable!
Bicameral Congress
As we said, the Congress is made up of two "houses". There is the Senate, sometimes called the "Upper House", and the House of Representatives, sometimes called the "Lower House". The term, "Congressman", or "Congresswoman", could technically refer to a member of either house, but in practice, a "Congressman" refers to a member of the House of Representatives. A member of the Senate is almost always referred to as "Senator". Let's take a look at each house:
The Senate was created to be the representation for the states in the federal government. Each state has two Senators. In the original design of the founders, the Constitution stated the State Legislatures appointed the Senators to go to Washington DC to represent the state. With the passage of the 17th Amendment, however, we changed the Constitution to allow for each state to choose their Senators via popular election by the people. The term of office for Senators was defined as 6 years – one of the longest terms of any office as defined in the Constitution. This was because these people were the voice of the state, and this house of Congress was not designed to be directly elected by the people. So, under the Constitution as amended, there are two Senators who represent you, based upon which state you live in. When important legislation comes up, it is important to contact the offices of both of your Senators to let them know the way you want them to vote. I live in Texas, so my two Senators are currently (in December 2022) John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.
House of Representatives
The House of Representatives was designed to be the primary voice of the people in our government. In our article, A Farmer's Lesson on Holding Elected Officials Accountable, we saw how one farmer held Representative Davy Crockett accountable to be his voice in Congress. Representation in the House of Representatives was designed to key off of population, so states with higher population have more representatives, and therefore more votes, in the House. Each state is divided up into Congressional Districts, and each Congressional District has one Representative in Congress. Since the House is the primary voice of the people, the Representatives are required to face re-election every two years. Therefore, when Americans have questions or concerns about our government, our Representative in Congress is a great first stop. If we don't like the way they represent us, the next election is never far away. So, depending upon which Congressional District you live in, there is one Representative who represents you in the House of Representatives. I live in the 6th Congressional District of Texas, so my Representative in Congress is currently (in December 2022) Jake Ellzey.
Hold Them Accountable!
My wife made a great video to show you first hand how to go into the website of Heritage Action (an organization we trust for keeping an eye on things at the federal level). You can put in your zip code and it will tell you who your Representative is and who your two Senators are. It will also show you lots of info so you can see how these people have been voting on important legislation, and even gives a percentage of the times they have voted consistent with the way Heritage Action would have them to vote. It also has contact information for all of the members of Congress so you will know how to contact them. Please don't hesitate to call their offices! Don't let that intimidate you! I promise you that your Representative or Senator will not answer the phone. You will get either a voicemail box, or perhaps a college intern who will record your call at least as "for" or "against" whatever you called about. Heritage Action even has proposed scripts you can use if you are unsure about what to say. Please watch RaShell's video to see all of this first hand. It is very important to keep our eyes on what our people are doing in Congress, and this is a great way to do that.
"Now, more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.… If the next centennial does not find us a great nation … it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."– President James Garfield
President Garfield reminds us that as "We the People", we determine the character of those who represent us in Congress. That is a duty that each of us must take seriously and never let slip! So, take a minute to follow along with RaShell's video. Find out who represents you in the Senate and the House of Representatives. Let us know in the comments the score Heritage Action gives them for their voting record. Call their offices and let them know how you want them to vote for upcoming proposed legislation. May we all hold these people accountable to the Constitution!

I am truly thankful for all the effort and rigor put in by Avalon's fine team. They really went above and beyond to ensure we had a clear strategic roadmap to help navigate these trying times and this is echoed by other members of the Compass team. The time spent by the senior Avalon team is also appreciated.
Our experiences with Avalon have thus been very, very positive and beneficial. I can give the people at Avalon a very strong endorsement as highly professional, competent and thorough business consultants.
Avalon was a very dependable partner in designing implementable strategy for our portfolio companies. They provided a valuable external perspective, through which we were able to spot opportunities which were significant and potentially impactful. They were deeply committed to securing buy-in from the business leaders, which was really at the heart of our strategic realignment program. Their flexible, accommodative style of working made working with them a good experience.
Avalon Consulting has carried out multiple assignments for Ashok Leyland, over the years. We have benefitted a great deal from their incisive analysis, practical solutions, and above all, from their perseverance to see through the results.
Avalon has always delivered unique and practical insights and served as a great thought partner for us. Besides, they have been instrumental in supporting our business development efforts for our portfolio companies in India through their extensive network.
BSEF has been engaging with Avalon Consulting for over 5 years now. Avalon's analytical approach, agile attitude and wide range of skill sets coupled with their extensive industry network has helped us rely on them as a partner of choice for our advocacy efforts both in India and other global regions. BSEF will gladly recommend Avalon for policy advocacy strategy, communication strategy and stakeholder management engagements.
Avalon has been a trusted partner in our strategic journey towards diversification growth. During the course of our engagement, they brought to the table a valuable outside-in perspective, rigorous analytical skills and some practical recommendations on the opportunities available to us and the capabilities required to realize them. They worked seamlessly with our team and I have no hesitation in endorsing them.
The structured approach to the due diligence gave us the complete picture in a short time and enabled us to take a quicker, more studied decision on the acquisition.
Without doubt, Avalon has added significant value into our various businesses through their work, Avalon's data quality, recommendations, and timely execution – are some of their very strong points.
Entire process of working with Avalon was very collaborative…the Partner was very involved and committed a lot of time.
Avalon is our consultant of choice for the Integrity, Intellect and Insight they bring to the table.
I am happy to say that the work was of outstanding quality. Avalon's work helped us to understand in a well-structured manner an otherwise esoteric industry.
Avalon was extremely meticulous and comprehensive in its sector coverage for a market study we engaged with them for the Aluminum biz in India. Their methodology was robust and helped us to get a clear picture of India's Aluminium market evolution. Our global team was so impressed by their methodology that they used the same for other markets and adapted it for other metals too. In all our dealings they have consistently met our expectations and have always delivered on or before time.
The Avalon team helped my organisation articulate its goals, identify growth opportunities and devise actionable strategies to pursue those opportunities. They were practical in their recommendations and worked hand in hand with my managers to implement the strategy.
Avalon's findings were bang on and it screamed out for action from us.
Not only was the standard of work outstanding and well aligned with our objectives and expectations, but the reports were also delivered in a timely fashion. It was a pleasure working with such an outstanding team.
We have had a great and very positive experience working with Avalon and I am confident they will add a lot of value to the issues you are grappling with.
Added great, great value… Went the extra mile to deliver. Wanted to listen and understand how they can help.
Avalon takes strategy to implementation.
Avalon's knowledge of the market opportunity was impressive, and I know that as a result more exporters will be attracted to attend our next workshops.
Avalon delivered a very good, detailed and interesting study with very useful insights.
I'm quite pleased with the quality of work done by Avalon on construction chemical market.
I want to convey my appreciation to the Avalon team, excellent work in a short span of time!

See Pearl Jam Debut 'Gigaton' Songs Live at First Concert in 3 Years
Pearl Jam performed a handful of songs from their latest LP Gigaton live for the first time and paid tribute to Bruce Springsteen and Charlie Watts Saturday during the band's headlining set at Asbury Park, New Jersey's Sea.Hear.Now Festival, a gig that also marked Pearl Jam's first concert in over three years.
Eighteen months after Gigaton arrived at the dawn of the Covid-19 pandemic, Eddie Vedder and company delivered the live debut of the album's "Superblood Wolfmoon," "Quick Escape," "Seven O' Clock," "Never Destination" and "Take the Long Way," as well as opening the show with "Dance of the Clairvoyants," which the band previously played during a Covid-19 relief livestream.
While rumors of a Bruce Springsteen appearance during Pearl Jam's Asbury Park set percolated prior to the Danny Clinch-curated festival, the rocker did not make an onstage cameo at the band's concert. However, Vedder and his band mates paid tribute to the New Jersey legend with a cover of his "My City of Ruins":
Trump Trashes Electric Vehicles Standing in Front of GOP Governor Who Supports Them
Priscilla Presley Disputes 'Invalid' Amendment to Lisa Marie's Trust
Eight Women Say the Same Man Raped or Assaulted Them. Now They're Out for Justice
Trump's Killing Spree: The Inside Story of His Race to Execute Every Prisoner He Could
Pearl Jam also paid tribute to Charlie Watts with a hint of the Rolling Stones' "Waiting on a Friend" woven into the band's performance of "Wishlist." Patti Smith Group's Lenny Kaye later joined Pearl Jam for the band's traditional concert-ending cover of Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World."
The band is next scheduled to perform two shows at the Vedder-curated Ohana Fest on October 1st and 2nd in Dana Point, California. Pearl Jam will return to the road in earnest in June 2022 with a European tour.

Samara Adamson-Pinczewski's practice focuses on the relationship between geometric abstract art, architecture and urban space. Her boldly coloured paintings, constructions, sculptures, drawings and studio-based installations explore ambiguous spatial readings created through the use of reflective materials, fragmented abstract forms and oblique linear structures.
This exhibition celebrates Adamson-Pinczewski's sinuous compositions that encourage the viewer to walk in circles around the works, to figure out their geometry and catch their colour shifts. Illustrating the artist's mastery of paint technology and colour theory, 'Light Gestures: Samara Adamson-Pinczewski' features works from her 20-year career alongside new paintings and sculptures acquired by the Town Hall Gallery.
Samara Adamson-Pinczewski: Light gestures is a survey exhibition that uncovers the relationship between geometric abstract art and urban space.
I'm really interested in the new reflective glass technologies in particular there's a lot of iridescent effects that shift and change depending on the time of day and the atmospheric effects.
My work changes in relation to the light, it might change in relation to where the viewers stand, it might even be what they're wearing is projected onto that surface.
The scale, the colour, the particular structures I use, they are all visual devices for a reaction to occur from the viewer.

According to a report by Nick J from Win.GG, Valve has reportedly been working on it's potential aesthetic plans which might be released soon in the near future. The air got filled with the news of this prospective when some of Valve's files were leaked in the first place which did blow up the cover for some upcoming plans of player, team, tournament patches. These patches will probably modify the agent models with player autographs, team logos, and tournament logos.
Last week when ESL had announced it's Louvre Agreement, it also had released a video on their twitter which showed us a glimpse of the Agent operators each with a team logo on their uniform.
With this video up in the community, it might be a teaser for the fans for something big which is yet to come in Valve's Famous FPS Title Counter Strike : Global Offensive. With the Patch Pack being already bought in the game, we might soon see the team logos along with the player autographs and tournament logos culminating in the game.
A SFUI command list has also been noticed in one of the leaked file which does confirm some potential aesthetics being inculcated in the game. Basically SFUI commands doe help the player to recognize a specific item when he/she hovers his/her mouse over it. We might soon be witnessing a teaser for the same either in the Ongoing Intel Extreme Masters Event in Katowice or In the Rio Major which are both hosted by ESL as the later has partnered with best 13 CS:GO teams which binds them with a confirmed slot at the ESL Pro tour circuit for an undefined period of time.
The agent models shown in the trailer are believed to be developed in Counter Strike's source 2 engine. But for now this specific plan is just a rumor with no confirmation from the Valve or any developers.

These facts about the movie Tom y Jerry: Oprime el botón, gatito are very interesting and will help you to know more about the feature film.
The success of this film could be seen in theaters after its premiere in 1952.
The person in charge of the entire direction of this film was William Hanna, Joseph Barbera.
If you wonder how long the movie is, we have the answer: 7 min..
The cinema of United States is known worldwide and this film from that country could not be less.
You can see a hard work on the part of William Hanna, Joseph Barbera that as a result a most sophisticated script has been obtained.
When behind a film there is a production company as important as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), it shows in the results.
The film's soundtrack and music were created by Scott Bradley.
Each film is affected by many different factors so, although there are already many films that are of the Animation, Comedy genre, it does not mean that it will be the same as others, far from it.

This afternoon, Fireflight announced a new PledgeMusic campaign to raise funds to create their next studio album. Check out the video above to hear from the band about the project and to hear a brand new song. The album is slated for release later this year.
About the project, Fireflight writes:
Over the past 14 years we have had the incredible privilege to create and make music. Music that comes from the heart and is inspired by personal experiences. Music that has resonated with so many people from all backgrounds, walks of life and different world views. We do not take this for granted by any means and realize that it is because of God and the faithful fans that we have been able to navigate the sometimes fickle waters of professional music.
As we move into this next chapter of our music career we know beyond any doubt that God and the faithful fans will continue to be our inspiration and support. By this next chapter, we mean the independent chapter. This next record will be a combined labor of love between Fireflight and the fans that encourage and uplift us on a daily basis. This is an exciting time for our band! A time that says anything can happen, no dream is too big, and everything is possible!
When we decided to enter into this independent chapter, we knew there would be no better partners in this endeavor than our very own fans. Youve been with us since the beginning and for that, we are so very thankful!!!
As you can see, we have a few specialty packages available, and even fewer signed varieties . But what sets this pre-order apart from others is that when you order any package listed, youll gain access to an early download of the new album before it hits stores + join our pledger-only blog where well be posting exclusive videos and new music.
Releasing a new album is always exciting and promises to be an adventure each time . Were happy to have you join us for the ride!

Refugio Day Pack 26L
This pack carries everything you expect from the classic Refugio but in more comfort.
Allpa 35L Travel Pack
A lighter and more durable version of Cotopaxi's best-selling backpack system built for adventure travel. This pack is perfectly sized for carry-on convenience, loaded with well-designed features, and tough enough to handle years of use.
The Allpa 35L's shell is made from a blend of tough, TPU-coated 1000D polyester, with durable 840D ballistic nylon paneling. Cotopaxi then adopted the low-profile harness used for their backpacking packs to create a suspension system that distributes weight and keeps you comfortable through journeys near or far. The system includes contoured shoulder straps for comfort and balance, plus a removable hip belt you can take off when you don't need it, or for when you're stowing the pack in tight compartments. A breathable, flexible airmesh back panel and an adjustable sternum strap create an even more comfortable carry. There's a suitcase-style, full-wrap zipper opening on the main compartment that opens into a large, zippered mesh compartment on the right side and a subdivided zippered mesh compartment on the left. These compartments open outward for easy and organized packing, and now feature an updated zipper gusset to create dynamic compression. This compression makes it easier to zip your Allpa closed when it's packed tight. Two zippered pockets round out the top.
Padded laptop and tablet sleeves are accessible via the exterior right-side zipper. On the left side, there's a shortcut zipper that provides access to the main internal compartment, without having to take the pack off your back. A subdivided compartment on the top is designed with passports and other small essentials in mind.
As a security measure, all external zippers feature our theft-proof webbing sewn across the openings. A slotted back panel houses the shoulder straps, ensuring loose ends are a non-issue in overhead bins, on the bus, or in the trunk of cars. Additionally, four reinforced grab handles provide multiple carry points when the shoulder straps are tucked away, and four lash points at the top of the pack allow you to carry more gear. There's even a high-visibility rain cover that stows into the pack.
Week-long (or quicker!) trips to just about anywhere, including the local campsite. Featuring the same design as our best-selling adventure travel pack, but made from 100% repurposed fabric.
Each pack in the Del Día Collection is made with remnant materials by employees who have creative control over its final look. This means that no two packs are alike. From fabric to thread, your Del Día is one of a kind.
Bold colors, small details, and personality. The Del Día Collection is all of these, but the bigger story is about enabling the people who make our products. When you pick up one of these packs, what you're seeing is the "signature" of the employees who made it.

Arc'teryx designs for use, conditions and environment. The Blade 20 is geared for both moving through the urban landscape and exploring the world.
