Attelage rural was painted around 1883 and is one of Georges Seurat's so-called croquetons, pictures created on wooden panels that he could carry through the countryside, working directly from the motif. Sometimes erroneously described as cigar box lids, the panels Seurat used are largely walnut or mahogany, rather than cedar wood. Often, Seurat would not prime his panels, allowing the rich colour of the wood to add its own warm ground to the compositions. It was in these croquetons that Seurat developed the visual language that would lead to his celebrated masterpiece, Une baignade, Asnières, now in the National Gallery, London, in which he would move gradually towards a new concept of painting based on colour theories. The Neo-Impressionism that Seurat would come to spearhead would have a marked effect on colour theories for a number of artists, bringing about new understandings and confidence in the avant garde, resulting in the embrace of Pointillism and thence Divisionism.
In his croquetons, Seurat was exploring the entire nature of the relationship between colour and form, using his studies of the ever-advancing science of perception to help inform him. Seurat has managed to capture light, colour and form alike through brushstrokes that are almost hatched, darting this way and that. In this way, he has succeeded both in lending a shimmering, almost Impressionistic air to the composition while also building up a complex sense of monumentality that belies the quotidian nature of the scene. At the same time, the composition of the painting as a whole appears almost formal in its use of horizontal bands of green and yellow, with the horse and cart thrust into relief by its contrast with that backdrop. This hints at the developments that would lead to Une baignade, Asnières and would subsequently result in the rigorous fusion of art and scientific theory of high Neo-Impressionism.
Croquetons such as Attelage rural were the cutting edge arenas of experimentation that would result in various sea-changes in the development of the avant garde. Looking at Seurat's all-too-short career, cut short by his death in his early thirties, it is astonishing to see the advances that he made in the brief period of his so-called maturity. Attelage rural was painted shortly after Seurat had been released from his military service. While he had already been an art student before being conscripted to join the armed forces, it was after his return home in November 1880, having had his way paid out of military service, that he approached art with a new-found passion, and with new-found confidence. Within a short time, only in his early twenties, he was drawing and painting works which were unique in their vision, bold and trailblazing stepping stones towards Neo-Impressionism.

You can find quite a few predicaments in which you end up in need of leasing an auto. Car or truck rental is actually a good alternative in case your รถเช่าเชียงราย is becoming fixed, damaged down otherwise you didn't invest in a different a single yet. Perhaps you're going with a getaway, whether it is personal or small business, and you also choose to move from area to position leisurely or in the elegant way without the need to hustle with locals in public transportation. It's possible you would like to accompany all your family members on a vacation, whether or not it really is domestic or abroad. You may even imagine leasing a particular auto just to check out it out before you purchase it.
You could be inquiring "What do I would like to lease an auto?" hence the relaxation of the short article will clearly show you what you will require if you would like to rent a car or truck and the way to keep track of down the best auto rental deal. To obtain this aim and prevent encountering a aggravating problem or incurring an additional payment, do your homework beforehand and tap in the facts involved in this article.
The requirements:
ID: Make certain you have a valid ID and that your identify on the ID matches the title in your driver's license and with your credit card.
Valid driver's license: You have to have a legitimate driver's license issued out of your place.
Worldwide Driver License: It's possible you'll be asked to present your Global Driving License, so just remember to have one in the event that your domestic license isn't acquainted or not penned within the Roman alphabet.
Credit score or debit card: Be sure that you have active credit or debit card with additional funds, because most businesses will utilize it to cost you with the mileage overage or fuel. Bear in mind, some rental companies is not going to take debit cards.
Insurance: You might be demanded to pay for for optional automobile insurance in the car or truck rental corporation. It is actually sensible which you check before you fork out for just about any insurance coverage because you may be previously included by your employer or by your credit card or every other facility.
The required age is from twenty five to 70 many years aged. 21 to 24 decades old renters may incur extra costs.

These Are the Most Expensive New Cars You Can (Actually) Buy
Got cash to blow in 2019? Here are some Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Rolls-Royces to tickle your fancy.
Top 10 Most expensive car in the world
Money can't buy love, but if you're like us and derive pleasure from special automobiles, cold, hard cash definitely can buy you happiness. We've rounded up the most expensive new cars you can buy—and we mean those pleasure crafts you can actually buy. All of these cars are confirmed to be currently and legally for sale in the U.S. for either the 2019 or 2020 model years, sporting official EPA fuel-economy ratings and real prices, and without requiring you to get on a list or jump through similarly exclusive hoops (we're looking at you, Ford GT . . .).
For clarity, we've arranged these über-expensive rides in order of their base prices, although we're sure that none of these manufacturers have ever sold an example of any of these cars at their entry price, without a single option added. Happiness, at least from these 10 cars, will likely cost you more than the listed prices.

Sexy celeb photos are few and far between during Christmas and New Year's Day. There have been a few popular women out running errands like Audrina Patridge, seen here wearing high heel boots and skinny jeans. Yea, it's another Audrina post, but the woman is cute and sexy and she does a nice job of decorating her fit and tight body. You can count on her showing off her gorgeous legs in high heels and tight jeans if not short skirts and sexy dresses

Audrina Patridge Has Sexy Legs in Skinny Jeans and High Heels
Audrina Patridge is seen running errands wearing a pair of tasty black skinny jeans and high heels. There is something very appealing about a chick wearing slim jeans that molds nicely to their gorgeous legs. And the style looks best when they mount themselves in sexy high heels. I like how this woman looks. Nice job.
Audrina Patridge Has Sexy Legs in a Short Silver Dress and High Heels
Audrina Patridge looks sexy in a short silver dress and high heels that do a fantastic job of accentuating her gorgeous legs. She has very shapely and hot legs that she enjoys showing off. You can tell she puts in a lot of workout effort as her legs are toned and has a ton of muscle definition. From casual outings to formal events this woman tends to decorate herself in eye pleasing attire. I don't know a thing about her ability to entertain but she definitely has a hot body that is worth a glance. She is looking hot as she appears at a U.S. Weekly function.
Audrina Patridge in Tight Jeans and High Heels
I'm kind of digging Audrina Patridge. I won't and don't watch her travesty of TV entertainment but I do like to see what she is wearing when she is out and about doing her thing. She does a good job of decorating herself. Whether she is posing on some event carpet or dolling herself up to go outside to be snapped by the paparazzi, she definitely embraces her hotness and gives us something nice to check out. She has a great body that looks fantastic in her tight jeans. And she is always mounted in sexy high heels. Can't go wrong with tight jeans and high heels.

|The gene encoding human RelA has 10 exons spanning 8.1 kb. The shorter variants of RelA (p65d) can be generated by alternative splicing of intron 1, 6, or 7. The p65d1 lacks codons for amino acids 222 to 231 and p65d2 lacks codons for amino acids 13 to 25 of the conserved Rel homology domain. An additional alternative splicing form of p65, p65d3 has been identified in a non-small-cell lung carcinoma cell line that lacks codons for amino acids 187 to 293 of the Rel homology domain.
3. Protein
|The relA gene encodes a protein composed 551 amino acids with an approximately molecular weight of 65 kDa. The N-terminal region of RelA contains a Rel homology domain (RHD) followed by a nuclear localization signal. The C-terminal region of RelA contains a putative leucine zipper domain and a transactivation domain that is important for the NF-kB-mediated gene transactivation. A number of protein kinases can phosphorylate RelA and consequently potentiate the transcriptional activity of NF-kB complexes. These kinases include IKKb, PKA, and possibly GSK3 and MAP kinase p38. The phosphorylation of the transactivation domain of RelA was considered as an important event for the recruitment and/or interaction with co-factors and general transcriptional machinery subunits such as p300 and TFIIB.

Glitter | Rimmel All Glittered Up
Top Coat | Essie Gel Setter Top Coat
The January blues have hit, there's no doubt about it. I'm still amazed as to how quickly Christmas was over and because I worked between Christmas and New Year I feel like the festive season was over even faster. Can't we do it all over again? I've got a week off to look forward to at the end of the month but in the meantime I'm resulting to a touch of glitter to my nails to add some sparkle to my January.
This week I'm wearing Rimmel's Bestival Blue on my nails. Bestival Blue is the most gorgeous cornflower blue that applied evenly in 2 coats. You could maybe even get away with 1 thick coat as it's quite an opaque polish. I then applied Rimmel All Glittered Up from Rimmel's new Love Glitter Special Effects range as an accent. All Glittered Up is a glitter topper containing shards of holographic blue, coppery red and silver particles. It's a fairly unusual glitter topper but I really rather like it!
What have you been wearing on your nails this week? Have you tried any of Rimmel's new Love Glitter Special Effects nail polishes?

Syracuse Law Review Presents Richard A. Matasar Symposium Issue on the Future of Legal and Higher Education
The June 2016, Vol. 66, No. 3, Issue of the Syracuse Law Review is a specially organized Symposium book titled: Richard A. Matasar Symposium, The Future of Legal and Higher Education. Matasar, Tulane University Senior Vice President for Strategic Initiatives and Institutional Effectiveness, has written extensively on change in higher education.
The Symposium event was hosted at Dineen Hall and attended by a distinguished group of law school deans and former deans. The event was inspired by Matasar's scholarship on legal and higher education, and was co-chaired by Former College of Law Dean Hannah Arterian and Former USC Gould School of Law Dean Robert Rasmussen.
The Issue includes the transcript from Matasar's question and answer at the Symposium, and features more than a dozen original scholarly works from noted law school deans and professors. Arterian was instrumental in ensuring a wide range of essays and articles were contributed to Syracuse Law Review. Her essay, "Engaging the Challenge to Legal and Higher Education: How Richard Matasar Calls the Questions," is included in the publication, along with an original article from Matasar.
The Issue is available online at lawreview.syr.edu.

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Des Moines Democrat launched a campaign Monday to try to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, and a Linn County supervisor plans to decide this month whether to try also.
Des Moines businessman Eddie Mauro joins lawyer Kimberly Graham, also of Des Moines, in seeking the Democratic nomination in 2020.
"Washington remains broken and it's time for a change, and I am the best candidate to take on and defeat Joni Ernst," said Mauro, who in 2018 ran unsuccessfully for U.S. House in the 3rd District.
Also Monday, Stacey Walker, a member of the Linn County Board of Supervisors, confirmed he's giving serious consideration to joining the race. Ernst, he said, has not lived up to her promise to "go to Washington to shake things up and drain the swamp."
"Instead, we have seen that she has protected a president who has done a lot of harm to Iowans all across the state," he said.
Walker, 31, who was elected in a special election in 2016 and re-elected last year, acknowledged that Ernst will be a formidable candidate as an incumbent who has raised about $3 million in campaign funds.
"She's popular with Republicans and she's a skilled campaigner," he said. "I give her all the credit in that respect."
However, after more than four years in the Senate, Ernst has a record she will have to defend, including her support for President Donald Trump.
"She will have to answer for that," Walker said. "Regardless of the fact that she is an incumbent or that she has a lot of money, Iowans are smart and Iowans like candidates that are going to be honest with them and do what they say they are going to do.
"In that respect, Sen. Ernst has come up woefully short," he said.
Although Democrats have had difficulties winning competitive statewide races in recent years, Walker takes encouragement from Democrat Rob Sand's win in the race for state auditor as well as Democrats picking up two U.S. House seats in 2018.
"You are also starting to see a new crop of leaders in the Democratic Party who are bringing a lot of people into the conversation and their message is resonating," he said.
In launching his campaign, Mauro, 56, said Iowans need a senator who "will fight for Iowa's middle-class families, our family farms, the small businesses on Main Street, protect and improve access to affordable health care for all Iowans and invest in our renewable energy economy to create jobs and combat the climate chaos and challenge before us."
Protecting the Affordable Care Act and coverage of pre-existing conditions were critical to flipping seats in Iowa's 1st and 3rd congressional district and will be central in his Senate race, Mauro said.
If he runs, Walker expects a "spirited primary.
"Primaries give candidates and the party an opportunity to sort out the issues and figure out what Iowans care about," he said. "It gives candidates an opportunity to refine their message and reach as many Iowans as they can."
Graham, 54, received her law degree from Drake University and lived in Indianola for 25 years before moving to Des Moines a year ago.
Graham, who aims to visit all 99 counties by September, formally kicked off her campaign recently in Indianola.

Here are a couple of care tips for a comfortable and peaceful sleep 🕊🌸 I used to wake up in the night a lot, or take a while before falling asleep and hope the sleep care tips could be helpful in case you are hoping to have a peaceful sleep. A couple of the tips include taking a warm bath or shower in the evening if you can, reading a book, watching a nice movie or listening to music you enjoy, making a gentle cup of tea, herbal tea or hot chocolate, using lavender oil or essential oils and remembering a kind affirmation or a couple of things which you feel grateful for.
Month: July 2018
Almond and banana smoothie
Here is a recipe for an almond and banana smoothie 🌸 the recipe is from the 100 Best Health Foods book, and has just a couple of ingredients, including almonds, plant based milk, bananas, natural vanilla and cinnamon, which you could hopefully find at your local shop. The smoothie is quite quick to make and has a light, creamy and nourishing flavour with the almonds, plant based milk and bananas. The almonds in the recipe from the almonds and plant based milk (in case you use almond milk) are very high in vitamin E, and the smoothie is also quite filling with the almonds and banana.
KORA Organics clay purifying mask
I bought a clay purifying face mask from KORA Organics a couple of weeks ago, as I had not tried a face mask from KORA Organics before and was hoping to try a natural and organic one. The clay purifying mask is so lovely and feels so beautiful to use and I have been using the face mask about once a week 🕊 the clay purifying mask has a light, natural clay colour, is smooth and has a light, fresh and lovely scent. I enjoy using the purifying face mask a lot, and my skin always feels soft and glowing and looked after just after I rinse the face mask off 🌸
Lavender oil
I have been using lavender oil for a couple of years, both in the bath with epsom bath salts, in a lavender and honey face scrub and sometimes on my pulse points just before going to bed, to help to have a calm sleep. Lavender oil has a very nurturing and calming scent and lavender flowers are one of my favourite flowers 🕊🌸 there is a lavender farm quite close to where I am from and I enjoy going there a lot, and also hope to go to see the lavender fields in the countryside in Provence, France too. Here are a couple of beauty care tips, sharing a couple of ways you could use lavender oil to help to look after your skin.
Blueberry bran muffins
Here is a recipe for blueberry bran muffins, from a muffin recipe book from home 🕊🌸 I just made the muffins on Monday and I love the healthy bran flavour, the fluffy texture and the blueberries. Although there are a couple of steps in the recipe, the recipe is quite generous, and the muffins are quite quick to bake in the oven. I sometimes have a muffin for breakfast with a cup of coffee, or for morning or afternoon tea with a cup of tea or herbal tea and the blueberry bran muffins are also quite filling. I hope you enjoy the recipe 🌸
A raspberry and blueberry smoothie
Here is a second recipe for a healthy smoothie, made with raspberries and blueberries 🕊🌸 I just made the smoothie on Sunday, and added a couple of ingredients we had at home I enjoy a lot and are quite healthy. The smoothie recipe is quite simple and easy to make and you could hopefully find the ingredients for the smoothie in your garden or at your local shop too. The ingredients included in the smoothie include banana, raspberries, blueberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, ground almonds and chia seeds. I enjoy making the smoothie both in the morning for breakfast, or for morning or afternoon tea as it is quite healthy and filling with the banana and the Greek yogurt.
Organic coconut oil
I use an organic coconut oil (by Blue Coconut) from our local supermarket often on my skin and face, both in the morning just after cleansing my skin and in the evening, just after having a shower 🕊🌸 Organic coconut oil feels so soft and nourishing to use on the skin and helps my skin to feel moisturised and smooth. I sometimes use a small amount of organic coconut oil on the tips of my hair too, to help to moisturise and nourish my hair and organic coconut oil could also be used as a lip conditioner, to help to soothe sun burn, or to help to remove make up (including eye make up).
KORA Organics turmeric face mask
KORA Organics, a kind natural and organic beauty and skin care company from Australia, just launched a new face mask product in June and kindly posted a gift launch pack to our home address (thank you so much KORA Organics) 🕊🌸 the face mask is called the turmeric brightening and exfoliating mask and is noted to be a 2 in 1 natural skin care product. The face mask comes in a beautiful rose gold colour packaging, and the gift box included a radiant affirmation card, a cotton headband, a face mask, a turmeric tea bag with Miranda's specially made turmeric tea by Orchard st and a KORA Organics noni glow face oil sample, to apply after the face mask.
An interview with Rael
Here is an interview with Rael Wright (from @raelruby) to share 🕊🌸 Rael is a gorgeous Kiwi and Bermudian model from New Zealand who has a beautiful Instagram page (@raelruby) where she shares a lot of professional modelling photos, behind the scenes photos from modelling shoots and life photos with her friends and family. Rael is also interested in health, healthy foods, nutrition and fitness, and has a second Instagram page called @raelrubyfitness, where she shares lots of photos of healthy foods and healthy food platters she makes, and fitness and exercise photos in beautiful exercise clothing.
June favourites
Here are a couple of natural beauty, skin care and life favourites from the month of June. The natural beauty and skin care favourites I chose include the beautiful rose quartz luminizer from KORA Organics, the balancing rose mist from KORA Organics and the organic coconut body lotion from Mailelani Samoa.

If a North Carolina resident takes a person he or she does not have custody over against the person's will, that resident could be accused of kidnapping. For example, a parent who does not have custody of a child could be accused of kidnapping depending on the circumstance.
Man accused of robbery
On June 20, a North Carolina man was taken into custody after he was accused of forcing a family to take him shopping at gunpoint. The 29-year-old man was ultimately charged with second-degree kidnapping and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Huge gang sweep in Charlotte
North Carolina residents might feel a little safer now after the authorities conducted the largest gang sweep ever in the state. Federal indictments named 83 people, and many of them were taken into custody on May 18. The suspects are all alleged members of the United Blood Nation, related to the infamous Bloods from California. The sweep targeted a sect of the UBN known as Nine Trey Gangsters. Some of the crimes listed in the indictment range back to 2010 and include homicides, firearms and drug trafficking, bank fraud and robbery.
Bill allows 16- and 17-year-olds to be tried as juveniles
On May 17, it was reported that the North Carolina House of Representatives approved a bill that would allow courts to try those under the age of 18 as juveniles for most offenses. The state remains the only one in the nation to still charge 16- and 17-year-olds as adults for all crimes, no matter how minor.
North Carolina murder law
In North Carolina, a premeditated killing is likely to be considered first-degree murder. However, it is also possible to face such a charge if a killing takes place during the commission of another felony regardless of whether or not it is intentional. For instance, if someone was killed during the commission of a rape or kidnapping, the first-degree murder charge would apply. Penalties for committing first-degree murder include either life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
The truth about crime in America
North Carolina residents may know that President Donald Trump has made fighting crime a priority. However, the crime rate has actually fallen drastically in the past quarter century. According to FBI data, the violent crime rate has fallen by roughly 50 percent from 1993 to 2015. The Bureau of Justice Statistics found that the rate has fallen by 77 percent during that same time period.
Pastor accused of being involved in 9 robberies
On Jan. 5, a North Carolina pastor was taken into police custody after he was accused of being involved in nine armed robberies in the Charlotte area. The 47-year-old man reportedly leads the True Love Church of Refuge.
North Carolina woman sentenced for murder of father
On Oct. 10, a 20-year-old North Carolina woman pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of her 50-year-old father and was sentenced for the murder and for concealing his death. She received a sentence of 25 years for the murder and a sentence of 5 to 7 years for attempting to hide his body.
Felons and firearm laws in North Carolina
In North Carolina, it is a Class G felony for a felon to purchase, possess or be in control of a firearm. Section 14-415.1, the Felony Firearms Act, applies to anyone who is under indictment or may have been convicted in any state or court in the United States. It does not apply when the felony conviction pertains to restraint of trade, antitrust violations or unfair trading practices. It also does not pertain to individuals who have been pardoned.
Man sentenced to 7 years after admitting to be habitual felon
On Sept. 28, it was reported that a North Carolina man who admitted to being a habitual felon was sentenced to at least seven years in prison. According to the report, he pleaded guilty to multiple felony charges, including possession of a stolen motor vehicle, identity theft and others.

How to Calculate the Molarity of Mixing
When two or more solutions of different concentration or strengths are mixed together then this mixing will yield another solution having a totally different strength as compare to the reacting solutions. Molarity is one of the most commonly employed unit of concentration and it can be defined as the number of moles of solute that are contained I a liter of solution. In case of mixing of two solutions of different molarities as well as diverse amounts, in order to find out the fresh concentration of the solute, amount of the solute which is stated in term of moles are simultaneously are situated in the solution having the volume which I equally to the summation of two solutions that are mixed together. In lab practices, it rarely occurs that a homogenous solution is present. Most of the times, chemists have to deal with the mixture of solution. If there concentration is not accurately determined, then it will definitely yield to the wrong outcomes and all the research or other concerned workings will go in vain. Therefore, it is very essential to find out the correct concentration of a mixing in terms of molarity in order to make the results authentic.
Steps for calculating the molarity of mix:
Find out the volume as well as concentration of the two reacting solutions. The amount of solute that was present initially prior to mix should be known. For e.g. suppose that chemical reaction does not occur after mixing and both solutions do possess these listed parameters given below:
10 milli-liters of 0.1 M HCl are present in Solution-A and 12 milli-liters of 0.5 M HCl. are present in Solution-B.
- Find out the total volume in liter that is present in both the Solution-A and Solution-B. Now make conversions of unit of volume i.e. from liters, convert volume from milli-liters into liters. If we see the e.g. given in step# 1, 10 milli-liters of Solution-A are present that are divided by 1000 and the result will be 0.01 liter and the same procedure will be for Solution-B that will give 0.012 liter.
- Now the number of moles that are present in both the Solution-A and Solution-B are calculated. Formula for finding out moles can be represented as: Moles = Molarity * Volume
By using this formula, total number of moles calculated for the Solution-A and Solution-B are 0.001 moles and 0.006 moles respectively.
- Find out the sum of both values of total number of moles present in Solution-A and Solution-B. i.e. moles + 0.006 moles = 0.007 moles of HCL.
- Total volume is determines by summing up the individual volume present in Solution-A and Solution-B. i.e. Liter of Solution-A + 0.012 liter of Solution-B = 0.022 liters of final solution.
- Molarity of the resultant solution is determined by using the formula of molarity i.e.
Molarity = number of moles of solute/ liters of solution
Molarity = 0.007 moles of HCL / 0.022 liters of final solution
Molarity of mixing = 0.029 M

Ascaris and hookworms shed eggs in stools of infected people, dispersed in external environment, and contaminated food and water, which serve as the source of infection. In the years when human wastes were used as manure, it was difficult to avoid contamination of raw vegetables and pickles with parasite eggs or hatched infective larvae; particularly the infection rate of Ascaris during the unstable period after the World War II was as high as 50-80% with no difference between rural and urban areas. Since then, preventive measures had actively been taken by nationwide practice of stool exams and mass treatment through school and local health, and also by improving the human excreta disposal system. In addition, with extensive use of chemical fertilizer, Ascaris - and hookworm-infected people dramatically decreased in number in the latter half of 1960, being very rare today.
Clonorchis used to be transmitted through eating raw small cyprinids such as minnows and bitterlings. Therefore, there were many endemic areas all over Japan. As fresh-water snails, the first intermediate hosts, decreased sharply due to the environmental changes, the life cycle of Clonorchis itself has been gradually interrupted in Japan.
Diversification of foodborne helminthiases: Thus, domestic cases of helminthiases included in the Parasitosis Prevention Law have become very few; nevertheless attention had been paid to the occurrence of other foodborne helminthiases before abrogation of this law. Occurrence of foodborne helminthiases in Japan is closely associated with the Japanese food culture of liking to eat raw fish, shellfish and meat. By the rapid economic growth in the 1970s and the progress in food transportation system in Japan, foods used to be consumed locally have spread all over the country, resulting in the dissemination of the diseases. Also, by the international food circulation, development in food preservation technology and introduction of new food items, species of causative helminths have apparently increased to as many as more than 20 kinds. After 1960s, the following helminthiases have newly been reported in Japan in connection with particular food items:
Anisakiasis: This is caused by eating raw marine fish and squid. In Japan, the first report of this larval infection came out in 1964, though it is conceivable that this disease has been prevalent from long time ago. Many other cases have been reported since then throughout the country. During this period, Anisakidae and the closely related species were identified as the cause of acute gastric symptoms. Since then it has became possible to remove the larvae under a gastroscope, making diagnosis and therapy relatively easy. Recently, by the investigation conducted by the laboratory of a market in Saitama Prefecture, Anisakis larvae have been detected at a high rate in the liver of imported angler fish (see p.118 of this issue). It has also been reported that anisakiasis can be explained by allergic reactions against Anisakis larvae (see p. 119 of this issue).
Echinostomiasis: After 1970, the disease occurred by eating raw loach served at restaurants.
Angiostrongyliasis: Angiostrongylus cantonensis , expanding its distribution to the Japanese Islands through Taiwan by 1970, used to elicit cases by eating raw African snails or slugs, the intermediate hosts of this parasite, in Okinawa. From the latter half of 1970s, the epidemic areas spread over the mainland. In 2000, an outbreak of infection occurred without eating intermediate hosts in Okinawa, probably due to ingestion of vegetables naturally contaminated with infective larvae. Epidemiological investigation was conducted on this episode (see p. 120 of this issue).
Paragonimiasis: Since 1971, cases of Paragonimus miyazakii infection have occurred due to eating raw or undercooked Japanese freshwater crabs. After 1975, cases of Paragonimus westermanii infection have occurred due to eating raw meat of wild boar. Recently, cases of paragonimiasis have occurred among some foreigners staying in Japan (Koreans, Thais, and Chinese) by bringing their own eating habit of dishes using freshwater crabs into Japan (see p. 121 of this issue).
Trichinellosis: After 1974, cases have occurred from eating raw bear meat in Aomori, Hokkaido, and Mie Prefectures. Recently, infection with Trichinella in a Japanese who traveled to Kenya was reported (Kansenshogaku Zasshi, Vol. 78, Abstract of the 78th Annual Meeting of Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, p. 100)
Intestinal capillariasis: After 1982, four cases of Capillaria philippinensis infection have been reported. Although the route of infection has been undetermined, eating raw freshwater fish is suspected. Fatal cases have been reported in the Philippines.
Gnathostomiasis: Gnathostoma spinigerum infection was known to be caused by eating raw snakehead in the past. G. hispidum , G. nipponicum and G. doloresi infections due to eating imported raw loach in 1970, domestic raw loach and raw masu salmon in 1988 were reported, respectively.
Spiruroid larva migrans: Since the latter half of 1980s, this disease has been prevalent all over the country from eating raw firefly squid (Watasenia scintillans ) that had been marketed only in the fishing districts before (see p.116 of this issue). The type X larva of the nematode suborder Spirurina causes ileus and creeping eruption after invasion from the intestines of humans, being not a natural host.
Countermeasures against foodborne helminthiases: In September 1997, the working group for food poisoning surveillance, the Section of Food Poisoning, the Food Sanitation Council, assessed countermeasures against foodborne parasitic diseases. After due consideration of the following three terms, the 10 species listed below were cited as the helminths requiring special countermeasures: (a) helminths causing nationwide outbreaks, or those tending to increase in recent years, (b) helminths prevalent in foreign countries and increasing in Japan is anticipated, (c) such helminths anticipating serious health damage, although the disease rarely occurs.
(1) Those transmitted through fresh fish and shellfish: They are Anisakis , Spiruroid nematode, Pseudophyllid cestode(s), Diplogonoporus grandis , Metagonimus yokogawai (intestinal fluke), and Gnathostoma . (2) Those transmitted through other foodstuffs (raw meat, etc): They are lung fluke (Paragonimus ), Sparganum mansoni , Cysticercus cellulosae and Trichinella .
For countermeasures against these foodborne helminthiases, the following four have been proposed: (1) edification of people with safe way of consumption of food, (2) development of methods of detection of parasites from food, (3) education of public health personnel for the knowledge of parasites and training in methods of parasite detection from food, and (4) surveillance of parasites in food produced in and out of the country and of incidence of parasite infection.
Notification as food poisoning is required: The Food Sanitation Law Enforcement Regulation was partly amended at the end of 1999 [Ministerial Ordinance No. 105, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW), 1999]. At the same time, the manual for reporting the statistics of food poisoning was partly amended. To clarify the notification of health hazard caused by protozoa and helminths originating from food and drinks as food poisoning, such as Cryptosporidium , Cyclospora and Anisakis have been shown as the category of "others" in classification of etiological agents of food poisoning in the reporting form of food poisoning (a notice from the Food Sanitation Division, MHW, December 28, 1999).
In the recent statistics of food poisoning, cases of food poisonings caused by helminths are very few (Table 1). This reflects lack of understanding by medical personnel and public health officers for the necessity of notification of health hazard caused by helminths such as Anisakis as food poisoning.
From a questionnaire survey for anisakiasis in the whole country, it has been estimated that there are at least 2,000 cases per year (Ishikura, H., Progress of Medical Parasitology in Japan, Vol. 7, p. 439-464, 1999). On this occasion, it should be pointed out that when food poisoning due to a helminth such as Anisakis occurs, a physician must notify to a nearby health center within 24 hours after diagnosis.
Preventive measures against spiruroid larva migrans: The source of infection of spiruroid larva migrans, an emerging foodborne helminthiasis, is restricted generally to firefly squid. Infection due to consumption of raw firefly squid was first reported in 1987. In 1994, mass media made a wide campaign on warning the danger of eating raw firefly squid, and accordingly, the fisheries started to ship firefly squid after freeze treatment. Therefore, a decreasing tendency was seen, but then cases increased again (see IASR, Vol. 21, No. 6). Then, MHW issued recommendations on the requirement for processing to control hazards from parasites in firefly squid in 2000 (a notice from the Food Sanitation Division, MHW, June 21, 2000), showing preventive measures by freezing (at -30Åé for 4 days or longer, or conditions with equivalent or higher potency to inactivate parasites).
During the nine years from 1995 through 2003, 159 suspected cases of spiruroid larva migrans were subjected to serological tests at four laboratories, of these 31 cases were positive (see p. 116 of this issue). During 2000-2004, raw firefly squid on market were tested for larvae of the nematode suborder Spirurina type X. The average detection rate of larvae for the five years was 4.3%; the parts in which larva were detected were the viscera in 76%, the trunk in 14%, and the head and arms in 10% (see p. 117 of this issue).
This disease occurs preferentially from March through June every year. It is important to prevent the occurrence of this disease by promoting safe ways of providing and consuming firefly squid to both selling people and consumers as a standard practice.

New chapter publication from Dr. John Kubiak
Dr John Kubiak has a new chapter publication in 'Facilitating collaborative reflection: researching with college students with intellectual disabilities', editor(s)Adele Flood and Kathryn Coleman, Reflective Practice in Learning and Teaching, USA, Common Ground Publishing'.
This chapter reports on the findings of a research project - conducted in the Trinity Centre for People with Intellectual Disabilities – which was undertaken by this author and six co-researchers with intellectual disabilities (ID). The study outlines how reflective practice was used to navigate the journey from initially learning about research, through to collecting and analysing data. The chapter is presented in three main parts: (1) 'Before research' (Exploring co-researchers' pre-understandings of research and researchers), (2) 'During research' (Engaging with the reflective learning cycle; data collection and analysis), and (3) 'After research' (A model of learning). All of these three stages of the research aim to capture the scope, depth, richness and flexibility that reflective analysis offered to this author, the individual co-researcher and the collective research group. Finally, some tentative findings are offered on reflection in research with people with ID. These are: (i) reflection is shared active learning; (ii) reflection involves awareness of an identity shift; (iii) reflection needs a skilled supporter, and (iv), reflection is emancipatory.

Last week I posted one of the polishes I picked up on Etsy a while back, and today I've got another one. I have bought from about five different Etsy sales people, and I can't give feedback on all of them because I haven't gotten all my polishes yet, but this is one I'm definitely happy with: Windestine Swimming with the Sharks.
Swimming with the Sharks is a beautiful glitter array – let me see if I can get this right: white matte diamonds, light blue squares, regular blue- and steel-colored glitter, small hex silver glitters, and fine particles of glitter floating in a clear base. The first thing I noticed about this polish, aside from the variety, was how packed the glitter is in the base, and I had no problem getting a sampling of the variety onto my nails. Here's a close-up of the bottle:
I used Swimming with the Sharks over China Glaze Splish Splash:
I received many compliments on my mani and I didn't want to take it off – it's two of my favorites: blue and glitter!
I used one coat, with an enhancement here and there.
This polish arrived with an invoice form and a note (I ordered from one person that just shipped the polish, no note or anything!) that said, "Thank you for purchasing from my shop, I hope you like the polish! Please feel free to contact me if you have any issues/comments! Freda." I love those personal touches!
Swimming with the Sharks cost $7.50, plus $2.50 shipping & handling.
Windestine is definitely a shop I'll be returning to. Right now, it looks like the shop has nothing for sale, but you can read the updates and follow Windestine's updates on Facebook here for more information about when sales happen.
What do you think of this glittery shark attack?!

Interferential current poised to become new treatment option for POI
Perineal interferential current (IC) proves beneficial in the treatment of women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) who are using systemic hormone therapy (HT) and presenting with sexual complaints, with the results of a 4-week trial showing that IC yields favourable effects on pain, lubrication, satisfaction and orgasm as compared with topical estriol.
A total of 40 women (mean age, 37.13 years) with POI were randomly assigned to receive eight electrotherapy sessions (administered twice a week; IC group) or treatment with estriol vaginal cream (daily application, 0.5 mg/d; E group). All women were sexually active and were using systemic HT (mean duration of treatment, 8.20 years), and had been referred for dyspareunia and reduction of lubrication.
Researchers used the Female Sexual Function Index to evaluate pre- and post-treatment sexual function. They noted improvements in global sexual function, lubrication and pain domains for both IC and E groups post-treatment.
The differences between the pre- and post-treatment scores were significant in both the IC and E groups, namely for lubrication (mean, 0.75; p=0.014 and mean, 1.16; p<0.001) and for dyspareunia (mean, 1.00; p=0.005 and mean, 0.68; p=0.006). There were no changes seen for the desire and arousal domains.
Finally, compared with E, IC had superior effects on orgasm (mean difference, 0.90; p=0.010) and satisfaction (mean difference, 0.70; p=0.021).
The present data suggest that perineal IC provides a new option in the treatment of POI patients with sexual complaints, the researchers said.

-- Robert Buan, host, Extra Innings
That Play. The game-winning play. Dog Bites was there, and trust us, it was that stupefying. It was the kind of play that baseball fans re-enact for anyone who will listen, a re-enactment that requires sweeping hand gestures and sound effects (whoosh!), one that begins with that most ominous of baseball prefaces: It is the bottom of the ninth inning ...
The game between the Oakland A's and the Anaheim Angels, the third in a deadlocked series between two teams deadlocked for first place, is tied. There are two outs, and the A's have runners at the corners. Eric Chavez is facing a frustrated Francisco Rodriguez (aka K-Rod), who has just thrown a ball when -- whoopsy! -- the throw from catcher Jose Molina shanks off Rodriguez's glove and peters toward second base. Jason Kendall bursts down the line for home as K-Rod leaps toward the dribbler. It's going to be close. K-Rod pounces, turns, throws, Kendall slides, Molina's got it, spins ... SAFE!!!
The A's win. They beat the Angels and take the series, thus cementing their status as sole possessors of first place in the American League West and symbolically closing the curtain on the first act of one of the most dramatic examples of baseball theater ever: fighting back from 15 games below .500 on May 29 to overtake a team with the fourth highest payroll in baseball. If the A's make it to the playoffs (which are admittedly a long stretch away and nothing to get too excited about just yet), they will be the first team to come back from such a deficit since the 1914 Boston Braves.
Not that anyone's watching.
Last week, Dog Bites went to all three games of the Angels series, which, for the first time all year, was attended by respectable crowds. Dog Bites knows this because Dog Bites has been to close to 20 home games this year, games where the typical attendance hovers at or below 20,000. The Giants, who are sputtering in the basement of one of the worst divisions in baseball history, draw twice that.
This year, roughly 3.2 million fans will come out to watch an ailing Giants team bungle game after game. They'll obsess over one man who hasn't shown up all season, and they'll stand idly by as a manager slowly loses his mind, accusing one of his critics of racism and referring to him as a "messenger of Satan." This might make for great theater, if the Giants were winning, but they're not, and they won't be anytime soon.
And yet on the other side of the bay, we have a squad that couldn't lose its keys. Following last Thursday's game, the A's were 49-16 since May 29. This is not a fluke. Over the last five years, the team has won three division titles and one wild card, averaging 97 wins a season. In 2002 the A's set the American League record with their 20-game win-streak, and now they're making history once again. This is not something to be missed.
And so it is with great gusto that Dog Bites proclaims the A's to be the official team of the Bay Area. Forget the Giants. Forget Barry Bonds. Forget the WiFi and the seafood and the memorial Coke bottle at SBC Park. The A's are our defining team. After all, is this a place that roots for a crew of overpaid, egotistical assholes or a ragtag bunch of earnest, underpaid underdogs? Would you rather sit and watch baseball with (admittedly freakish) blue-collar fans who stay through the ninth inning, or uninterested ad execs who leave in the sixth?
We know what you're thinking: Oakland is scary, the frontier really. And it's true. Dog Bites has heard that there are some parts of the East Bay where feral warehouse-dwellers stalk the prairies, feeding on the flesh of weary San Franciscans who get lost on their way to IKEA. But fear not: McAfee Coliseum sits on a sturdy foundation, has running water, and even offers delicious alcoholic beverages for a scant $7.50 apiece. Toss a few of those babies back, and you'll forget all about the fact that you can't check your e-mail during the game.
As has been typical with the A's, this pre-season found General Manager Billy Beane trading away two of the team's biggest stars, pitchers Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder. He then filled out the lineup with mostly rookies, players who had shown promise but were unproven. The move prompted almost universal outcry, with sports journalists across the country (well, the ones who even knew the A's existed) predicting disaster. One such prognosticator was Chronicle columnist Ray Ratto, who declared on ESPN that the A's would win no more than 65 games all season. Last Thursday against the Angels -- as a result of That Play -- they won their 66th. (Garrett Kamps)

Renewable Energy Plan Causes Rift
AMBOY, Calif. - The morning heat hits triple digits as a whiptail lizard darts below a creosote bush near Route 66. Gazing across the desert valley, power company executives, environmentalists and federal land managers stand beneath a cloudless sky and argue over the landscape.
PG&E project manager Alice Harron says she is "comfortable" with the solar power plant her utility wants to build on government land here along 4 miles of the Mother Road that connected Chicago and Los Angeles long before the interstate system.
David Myers of the Wildlands Conservancy is not. Renewable energy projects such as this one - which could power 224,000 homes - sound good in theory, he says, but if they tear up pristine vistas, they're not "green."
President Obama wants a "clean-energy economy" that relies on renewable sources such as solar and wind power instead of coal and oil. He wants to put these new utilities on federally owned lands like this stretch of the Mojave Desert, one of the sunniest places on Earth.
The administration wants to lead the way by taking advantage of its vast holdings, which account for 20% of all land in the USA, mostly in the West.
That idea is creating a rift among environmentalists, who favor renewable energy but are at odds over where to produce it. Some are willing to compromise with utility companies to build large power plants on remote federal lands to accelerate the transition to clean energy.
Purists are dead set against disturbing pristine landscapes.
Obama's goal is to meet 25% of the nation's energy needs from renewable resources by 2025. Today, the figure is 11.1%, according to the Department of Energy.
One purist is Myers, who worries that the government will industrialize the desert with acres of solar mirrors, trampling treasured landscapes. Groups such as the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) counter that large, centralized projects are needed to speed the shift to non-polluting energy.
"It's hard, because many of us have fought to protect the very lands" that could be affected, says Johanna Wald of the NRDC.
Starting 'a new beginning'
In a wood-paneled Washington conference room, under the words "America the Beautiful," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says he runs "the real department of energy."
After decades of allowing private companies to lease public lands for coal and oil, "We have started a new beginning" to make room for solar mirrors and wind turbines, he says. As with the older leases, operators would pay to use the land.
Salazar has designated 24 tracts in six Western states as possible solar project sites. There are none on federal lands now.
The Interior Department will open offices to eliminate a five-year backlog of applications. There are 158 pending solar projects on 1.8 million acres of public land. If all went through, they could power 29 million homes.
Not all will be approved, Salazar says, because of environmental and other concerns. Still, the White House plans to streamline approval for at least 10 solar plants it hopes will create 50,000 jobs by 2011.
Nearly half the solar proposals are in the Mojave Desert, home to the threatened desert tortoise, Indian petroglyphs and an intact stretch of Route 66, the historic highway dotted with vintage diners and derelict gas stations.
Not far from the iconic Roy's Motel and Diner, PG&E consultant Scott Galati tells environmentalists that surveys reveal no rare plants or threatened species on a planned solar site. A nearby rail line and access road are proof, he says, the land is hardly pristine.
Myers of the Wildlands Conservancy says an abandoned farm farther from Route 66 would be a better choice. PG&E's Harron says it is privately owned and would be difficult to acquire.
The great advantage of government land, she says, is how much of it there is and the relative ease and cost-effectiveness of building projects on public property.
Too easy, says Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. In a letter to Salazar last month, she said she was "deeply concerned" about a "bias under which solar developers believe they are more likely to receive a permit to build their projects on pristine public lands than on previously disturbed private lands."
Myers fears taxpayers are subsidizing inappropriately large-scale projects. He'd prefer a focus on rooftop solar panels and other small-scale solutions in urban areas that would reduce the clout of big energy companies.
Wald, the NRDC lawyer, says the government is taking a balanced approach. She spent 35 years battling the oil and gas industry and now is working with them to find appropriate sites for wind and solar plants. She agrees that energy self-sufficiency is important but says Myers' approach would take too long. "Even if (some environmentalists) don't like it," she says, large scale projects "are going to happen."
Monumental roadblock?
Feinstein wants to establish a national monument that would bar energy development on hundreds of thousands of acres of desert between the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park. The area includes former railroad land the Wild-lands Conservancy donated to the government a decade ago.
If Congress establishes the monument, PG&E and 22 other companies would have to build someplace else.
Across the border in Nevada, Feinstein's Democratic colleague Harry Reid is taking a different approach. The Senate majority leader supports a proposed wind turbine farm on federal land near Searchlight, his hometown.
That has some of his neighbors livid. Many say they fled to the quiet desert town to get away from California's massive, densely packed wind farms.
They fear the same in Searchlight, where the tallest structure is the 150-foot flagpole at Terrible's Casino.
Duke Energy wants to put up 95 wind turbines with blades that reach 415 feet off the ground. Though few in number compared with older, less efficient wind farms - some with thousands of turbines - that's still too many for some people.
"It's going to ruin our way of life," says Verlie Doing, 85, a friend of Reid's late mother, who owns the faded Nugget Casino.
Twelve miles south in the Nevada town of Cal-Nev-Ari, retired energy company electrician Robert Carty supports the turbines. He sees "the global picture" of climate change and calls opponents "CAVE people - citizens against virtually everything."
Across the Mojave in Lucerne Valley, Calif., where neighbors are arguing over a proposed solar plant on 516 acres, county employee Andrew Silva sighs.
"Folks in the East," he says, "don't necessarily recognize how complex and beautiful and diverse the desert is."

Celia Heritage's
Expert guide
Finding your ancestor's grave for the first time can send a shiver down your spine and give you a tremendous sense of connection with your roots. A gravestone may also provide you with useful genealogical information. How easy a gravestone is to locate, and what to expect when you get there, depends on several factors, notably the period in which your ancestor died and where he lived.
Jargon busting
To start with let's clarify some terminology: the words 'graveyard', 'churchyard', 'burial ground' and 'cemetery' are all words used to denote burial places and most of them can be used interchangeably. However, some have come to be associated with a particular type of burial place over the years.
Strictly speaking, a cemetery is a generic term to describe a place where people were buried. In the 19th cemetery it began to be applied more specifically to one of the many large privately-run or municipal cemeteries that grew up outside town centres as graveyards around churches became full or closed for other reasons.

Oakland let TE Jared Cook walk in free agency after he led the 2018 team in targets, receptions (tied), receiving yards and receiving TDs. It sounds like the primary replacement plan is former Raven Darren Waller. "It's your position, you are the 'Y' in certain personnel groupings," OC Greg Olson said Thursday, via NBC Sports Bay Area. "We're going to put you out there on the field, and you're going to play. We're really pushing him to the limit right now." Waller just joined the Raiders in November off Baltimore's practice squad. He made it into 4 games and caught 6 balls. Waller transitioned from WR to TE with the Ravens, and it looks like Oakland wants him to play ahead of Luke Willson, rookie Foster Moreau and others this season. Waller isn't likely to find anything near Cook's target share available in an offense that has since added Antonio Brown, Tyrell Williams, Ryan Grant and a 1st-round RB. But he has a shot at fantasy relevance.
The Raiders have signed former Colts TE Erik Swoope. A converted basketball player, Swoope has caught just 23 balls over 5 NFL seasons -- but he's averaged 16.7 yards per catch and scored 4 times. There's theoretical upside here, but time is running out for Swoope to reach it. He at least lands in a wide-open TE group alongside Darren Waller, rookie Foster Moreau and Luke Willson. This will be a position battle to monitor this summer.
The Raiders selected LSU TE Foster Moreau in the 4th round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Moreau served as the Tigers' top TE the past 2 seasons, compiling 46 catches, 550 yards and 5 TDs in a run-heavy offense. The 6'4, 252-pounder earned an 85th percentile SPARQ score at the Combine, with a 4.66-second 40 time and 36.5-inch vertical. That athleticism suggests some fantasy upside. And he lands on a wide-open Oakland TE depth chart alongside Darren Waller and Luke Willson.
The Raiders have signed TE Luke Willson. The 29-year-old has yet to top 22 catches across 6 NFL seasons. Jared Cook's departure has Willson and former WR Darren Waller sitting atop Oakland's TE depth chart right now. The Raiders could still add to the position in free agency or the draft. But the passing game figures to revolve around WRs Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams.
Lions TE Michael Roberts (shoulder) is out for this weekend's game against the Panthers. That leaves Luke Willson as the clear lead TE for a team that's also thin at WR without Marvin Jones. Willson is an option if you're desperate for a Week 11 spot starter.
Lions TE Luke Willson left Friday night's preseason game in Tamp after suffering a knee injury. We have yet to hear any further details on the issue but will keep an eye on it heading toward the regular season. Willson has remained the projected starter for Detroit but sits barely on the fantasy football draft radar. Michael Roberts sits behind Willson on the "unofficial" depth chart and would be worth watching if Willson misses extended time.
The Lions have signed TE Luke Willson to a 1-year, $2.5 million deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Willson never topped 40 targets in 5 seasons in Seattle, but he posted a nice 12.7 yards per catch and 12.4% TD rate. He's a 6'5, 254-pounder who registered a 92nd percentile SPARQ (athleticism) score prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. Willson lands in an intriguing spot with the Lions, who've lost TEs Eric Ebron and Darren Fells this offseason. Willson and 2017 fourth-rounder Michael Roberts are set to compete for snaps and targets.
Seahawks HC Pete Carroll ruled out TE Luke Willson (concussion) on Friday. Cooper Helfet and Chase Coffman will handle TE duties when the Seahawks face the Vikings on Sunday.
Seahawks TE Luke Willson missed Thursday's practice because of the concussion that forced him out of the Week 17 game at Arizona. That points to a setback after he put in a limited practice Wednesday. If Willson sits Sunday at Minnesota, it would mean more playing time for TE Cooper Helfet. He played more than 70% of the snaps each of the past 2 games -- the only times all year he topped 53.1% -- and caught 4 passes on 6 targets each time, season-high numbers for each category.
Seahawks TE Luke Willson (concussion) is out for this weekend's game against the Cardinals. TE Cooper Helfet figures to draw the start but isn't a fantasy option.
Seahawks TE Luke Willson sustained a concussion in the 1st half of Sunday's game against the Rams and is done for the afternoon. TE Cooper Helfet will see more action with Willson out. You can continue to ignore this situation in fantasy football.
Seahawks TE Luke Willson (groin) is inactive for today's game against the Rams. With TE Zach Miller (ankle) also out, Seattle is left with Cooper Helfet as the lead TE. The former undrafted free agent caught his first 2 passes last week. He's not a fantasy option. WR Doug Baldwin could easily see 8+ targets today. He's a sneaky WR3.

The Green Line of the Hyderabad Metro has received approval from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety after an inspection was conducted as reported earlier.
The line runs between Jubilee Bus Station, Secunderabad and Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station, Hyderabad and underwent an inspection by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety between the 9th and 11th of this month. The CMRS has certified this section fit for passenger operations.
The HMRL along the state government will decide the appropriate date to inaugurate the section for public usage. The date is likely to be announced only after the 22nd of this month when the local municipal elections are due to take place, and hence there is a model code of conduct in place.
The CMRS Shri J K Garg has given a green signal for the section with a few suggestions for minor correction with respect to operational aspects and passenger announcement and amenity services.
These changes, however, have no bearing on passenger operational safety. The HMRL is expected to implement these minor changes well within the date for inauguration.

Below is something I wrote in 2011. Good book. Some might think of it as a "chick" book. But that's ok. Maybe it would do some of us guys good to read a few chick books on occasion and vice-versa.
Just some thoughts:
Amy tells the story of sitting on a park bench in southern California and meeting up with a stranger, a homeless man. After a few minutes of conversation she said to the man, "What's your name?" "Johnny Gillepsie, and yours?" he asked. "Amy," she replied.
Then she made an interesting observation. She said how knowing someone's name makes that person more real, more human. When we know a person's name they are no longer just a homeless person or a problem child or a customer. They are a person.
Sometime back I had an encounter with a homeless man outside of a Burger King in Nashville. I asked him to come in with me and get a bite to eat. The two of us stood in line, gave the young lady our order, then he said something to me I have never forgotten. He asked me, "What's your name?" "Larry," I responded. "I'm Ed" he replied. Then he said "When we get our food would you have a minute just to sit and talk with me?"
Every one of us is a person created in God's image. We need to remember that… "My name is Ed, and when we get our food would you have a minute to sit and talk with me?"
(Madeleine L "Engle, A Wind in the Door)
