On Thursday, September 25, the following religious organizations will host a Ramadan fast-breaking event (Iftar) honoring Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City: Americans Friends Service Committee, Mennonite Central Committee, Quaker United Nations Office, Religions for Peace and the World Council of Churches (United Nations Liaison Office).
To protest this event, a press conference and a rally will be held at 5:30 p.m. that evening outside the Grand Hyatt at 109 E. 42nd Street, near Lexington Avenue. Led by Women International and the Jewish Action Alliance, approximately two dozen organizations, across many faith lines, will stage the protest; the Catholic League will also be represented.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented on the rally today:
“Catholics need to stand with their Jewish brothers and sisters in protesting this obscene event. Ahmadinejad is a menace to freedom-loving people the world over, and the sight of religious groups embracing him is nauseating. The Catholic League is proud to take part in this rally and we encourage people of all religious groups to have a contingent represent them on Thursday evening.”

SANParks employees are planning a nationwide strike, including at the world-famous Kruger National Park, over unresolved wage disputes and unanswered complaints to management.
The National Union of Public Service and Allied Workers (Nupsaw), on behalf of SANParks employees, said it planned to protest at Kruger Gate on September 20.
Nupsaw will be joined by the Health and Other Service Personnel Trade Union of South Africa (Hospersa), which is the majority trade union at SANParks.
Nupsaw spokesperson Kagiso Makoe said the union would be “embarking on a nationwide shutdown of SANParks facilities following unresolved wage negotiations because the employer was unwilling to meet the recommendation by the Commission of Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration [CCMA] of giving Nupsaw members a wage increase of 8% as of April 1”.
“We have submitted the following demands on behalf of our members at SANParks to their employer earlier this year requesting a salary adjustment of 11.5% that is market related as well as standardising working hours to 40 hours per week and 160 hours per month, given the fact that salaries are the same regardless of working hours,” Makoe added.
Their grievances also stem from unanswered complaints concerning alleged nepotism, maladministration and the assault of workers after a sergeant, who was accused of being a rhino poacher, was “severely tortured”.
“For the past few years, Nupsaw has been fighting for the safety and protection of workers as well as paying them a fair increase, not just to Kruger National Park staff, but also other parks because there is a huge 20-hour difference in our salaries that is equivalent to two days and five hours.
“This makes sense to fight for those hours more than the 1.5 rate because we know there is a possibility that they are going to lose due to the difference in hours that the workers are not being paid for,” said Makoe.
The strike, Makoe added, would involve field rangers, field workers, cleaners and administrators at SANParks.
“What we know is that this national shutdown will not only affect SANParks production and cause financial losses, it will also have an impact on consumer confidence this spring.”
TimesLive previously reported workers had embarked on a strike following a wage dispute but returned to work on the promise that the situation would be remedied.
This did not happen, however, as negations came to a halt at the CCMA as an agreement could not be reached.
The CCMA recommended an 8% increase, however, SANParks said it could only afford 6.5%.
SANParks spokesperson Ike Phaahla told News24 on Thursday it had tabled an offer of an 8% salary adjustment for employees falling within the bargaining council.
Phaahla said the proposal was lodged with the CCMA and was rejected by the unions, adding Wednesday had been the final date for the unions to file their picketing rules because they had refused the offer.
“No strike ballot has been undertaken among staff to enable the unions to apply to embark on a legal strike. Misinformation has been disseminated, like the threat to embark on a nationwide strike.
“The no work, no pay rule will be invoked should workers embark on an illegal strike.”
Phaahla said SANParks does not conduct negotiations through the media, especially on “sensitive issues like salary negotiations” because of an agreement with the unions representing its employees.
“Two of those unions have breached that agreement by issuing media statements, and they have been notified of that indiscretion.”

Asia Corporate Payment Survey 2019: Deteriorating payment trends amid trade war woes
Coface’s 2019 Asia Corporate Payment Survey covered over 3,000 companies in nine economies (Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan). 63% of companies surveyed stated that they experienced payment delays in 2018. The length of payment delays increased to 88 days on average in 2018, compared to 84 days in 2017. The length of payment delays was highest in China, Malaysia and Singapore; as well as the energy, construction and ICT sectors.
Longer payment terms and more delays
Trade wars, slowing growth in the United States (U.S.) and Europe, Brexit and volatile global capital flows — businesses in Asia had to manage a number of political, economic and financial pitfalls last year. To better understand the impact that such events have on companies, Coface conducts annual corporate payment surveys across the world. The 2019 Asia Corporate Payment Survey covers nine economies in the Asia-Pacific region. For the survey, data was collected from over 3,000 companies during the fourth quarter of 2018.
The survey’s data shows that companies in Asia were under pressure last year to extend longer payment terms. Average payment terms increased to 69 days in 2018, up from 64 days in 2017. This is in-line with trends observed in Asia since 2015. Corresponding with the increase in payment terms, 63% of those companies surveyed stated that they experienced payment delays in 2018 and the average payment delays also increased to 88 days in 2018, compared to 84 days in 2017. The length of payment delays was highest in China, Malaysia and Singapore; while the length was lowest in Hong Kong and Japan.
The survey’s data also highlights changes across different industries. Average payment delays were highest in the energy, construction and ICT sectors, with over 20% of companies from those sectors offering payment terms of 120 days or longer. Longer payment delays in 2018 can be largely attributed to customer financial difficulties. These difficulties are a result of fierce competition impacting margins, as well as a lack of financial resources as a result of tighter Monetary Policies in 2018.
Cash flow risks in construction, energy and transport sectors
In terms of cash flow risks, Coface’s survey considers the ratio of ultra-long payment delays (exceeding 180 days). According to Coface’s findings, 80% of ultra-long payment delays (ULPDs) are never paid. When these unpaid ULPDs constitute more than 2% of annual turnover, a company’s cash flow may be at risk. The proportion of companies experiencing ULDPs exceeding 2% of annual turnover increased from 26% in 2016 to 33% in 2017, and then to 38% in 2018. Furthermore, the survey’s results found a surge in the number of companies stating that they had ULDPs exceeding 10% of annual turnover. The increase in companies reporting ULPDs exceeding 2% of their annual turnover was highest in China, Australia and Malaysia; as well as the construction, energy and transport sectors in the region.
Weaker economic expectations for 2019 spells trouble ahead for payments
Economic expectations deteriorated quite significantly in a number of cases last year, according to the survey. Over 50% of companies in Hong Kong, China, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan stated that they do not expect growth to improve in 2019. These economies are directly and indirectly impacted by the trade war between the U.S. and China. Despite weaker sentiment, 53% of companies stated that they do not use credit management tools to mitigate risks. Surprisingly, markets with a majority of risk managers who predict the economy will not improve also feature a large percentage of companies that admitted using no credit management tools.
‘2019 will prove to be a more challenging year for companies in Asia Pacific, as weaker growth momentum compounded with an increase in cash flow risks could trigger higher defaults’ said Carlos Casanova, Coface’s Economist for the Asia Pacific Region.

What Makes a Good Email Signature?
Many people think of an email signature as being an electronic, 21st-century business card. At its most basic, a good email signature includes personal information such as your name, job title, department and phone number. However, you can take things further and transform a basic email signature into a marketing communications channel for your business by including your company logo, brand elements, promotional banners, advertising slogans, social links and other dynamic content.
You can also put email signatures to effective use as an internal communications channel. Marketers instinctively think of external markets, but in large organizations, most emails are often sent between co-workers, so considering the role that signatures can play in these internal emails is important. A good email signature has a lot of potential for internal emailing and, in many cases, this is often not properly utilized by many companies.
Email signatures, then, aren’t just business cards for the electronic age. They can be an independent and valuable communications channel as our below infographic will show you.

October 15, 2008 (Vol. 28, No. 18)
New Washer Equipped with a Magnetic Bead Plate Carrier for Processing Multiple Samples
Biomedical research and, in particular, cancer research is progressing from focusing on small numbers of molecules or cellular events to global functional analysis, feeding these results into new approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Methods that allow researchers to look across a broader angle at cellular processes such as mRNA expression levels or protein interaction patterns are needed more often to study fundamental processes.
Coaffinity purification of two proteins from a complex mixture is one of the standard methods for the detection of protein-protein interactions. To circumvent the need for specific antibodies in affinity purification and subsequent detection, proteins can be expressed in fusion with a tag, i.e., an extension that has a high-affinity binding site for a generic antibody. When two differently tagged proteins are used, the first tag can be used for the specific purification of the complex and the second tag for the detection of the copurifying protein.
In one variation of this protocol, the tag for detection is not an antibody tag but an enzyme that can be detected via its catalytic activity such as luciferase, highly amplifying the read-out signal. This avoids the need for gels and blots for detection of the tag and allows microplate-based miniaturization and automation of the protocol (Figure 1).
In this article, we describe the use of Tecan’s HydroFlex™ washer equipped with a magnetic bead plate carrier for fast purification of a large number of samples using magnetic beads. For the detection of the luminescence signal Tecan’s Infinite® F200 multimode reader was used. In the protocol in our lab at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the affinity tag is Staphylococcus aureus protein A, which can be purified on immunoglobulins as the affinity matrix.
The use of magnetic beads for immobilization of immunoglobulins is advantageous for miniaturization and automation of the assay.
Figure 2 depicts the workflow of the experiment. After transient expression of the protein pair in tissue culture cells, a lysate is prepared and allowed to bind to immunoglobulin-coated magnetic beads. Nonbinding proteins are removed from the beads in a washing step. Luciferase activity is determined in the starting material as well as in the purified beads. The fraction of bound luciferase activity in the positive versus the negative control is taken as a readout for binding.
An important step in such an automated protocol is the washing procedure used for purification of the protein complexes. The options available in the HydroFlex protocol allow fine-tuning of the washing procedure. The relative speed of the washing steps ensures a minimal loss of protein complexes during the wash, while maintaining a high enrichment factor, as can be measured via the activity of the luciferase tag.
Material and Methods
• HydroFlex washer equipped with 16 channel washhead, four inlet-channels for wash buffers, and the Option smart-MBS carrier for washing of magnetic beads (Tecan)
• Infinite F200 multimode microplate reader (Tecan)
• LumiNunc™, 96-well microplate, white and flat bottom (Nunc, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific)
• Dynabeads® M-280 sheep antirabbit (Invitrogen Dynal)
HEK293 cells were cotransfected with vectors directing the expression of proteins fused to a protein A tag as well as a luciferase-tag (Renilla luciferase). Cell extracts of transiently transfected HEK293 cells were allowed to bind to magnetic beads coated with goat antisheep IgG (Invitrogen) for two hours before washing with ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS) using the HydroFlex. Washed beads were resuspended in 60 µL PBS 1 mM DTT. Luciferase activity associated with the washed beads was determined using an Infinite F200 multimode reader (attenuation: none, settle time: 0 seconds, integration time: 1,000 ms).
While wash program 1 yielded an excellent enrichment as well as low background signal, there was a loss of bead material from the wells that was apparent by visual inspection. To avoid loss of beads, the following changes were introduced leading to wash program 2:
• After addition of the wash buffer, a soak time of one minute was added to allow the beads to reattach to the magnets.
• The aspiration rate was lowered to one.
• The z-position was elevated such that the liquid was not removed completely, leaving about 20 µL in each well.
To test how many cycles were needed for near complete removal of nonassociated luciferase activity, we ran the identical samples with 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 washing cycles (Figure 3). Without the need to resuspend the beads from the well bottom during dispensing of the wash buffer, three wash cycles were sufficient to achieve an over 300-fold enrichment of bound material.
Typical binding stoichimetries of well-characterized protein-protein interactions in these experiments ranged from 0.05 to 3% of Renilla-tagged protein recovered in a complex with the protein A-tagged protein. The sensitive bioluminescence measurement allows the detection of weak interacting proteins and instable protein complexes.
The flexible programming of the washing steps possible with the HydroFlex allowed a straightforward test of optimal washing conditions. Washing efficiency is close to the theoretical optimal, despite the fact that most of the beads remain attached to the well bottom during the washes.
The low number of washing cycles is crucial for the purification of unstable protein complexes from cells. Purification can be done with the HydroFlex washer (Figure 4) in combination with the Infinite F200 multimode reader in a short time. In this way, it is possible to process up to ten plates (800 protein interaction assays) in less than an hour.

Filipina boxer Nesthy Petecio is one of the athletes carrying the country's hopes to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
She shot to fame after becoming a world champion in 2019, but she never forgets her family's humble beginnings in Davao City.
In an interview with Ceej Tantengco on Go Hard Girls podcast last March, the 29-year-old ringster recalled how she worked her way up to the top.
Her father, Teodoro, is a farmer and her mother, Prescilla, is a housewife. Along with her siblings, Nesthy would pick up chicken droppings which would be sold as fertilizer for farms and fishponds.
These were how the Petecio family survived their day-to-day lives.
"During that time we really have nothing and we would just borrow money to be able to buy our food," Nesthy said in Filipino.
"So what we would do was join inter-barangay competitions and we would join because we knew, win or lose, we would get meals," she continued.
Nesthy saw boxing as her ticket out of poverty, so she kept pursuing the sport even though many people thought it is only for men.
"I was 11 at the time, it was 'Araw ng Davao', and my opponent was a man because there were no women joining," she narrated.
"They were telling me to stop the match and asking me if I can still continue and I would say yes. There was no doubt on my part. I was firm in my belief. I really want to fight," she said.
Association of Boxing Alliances in the Philippines (ABAP) president Ricky Vargas shared Petecio's sentiment, saying he wanted her to find her way out of poverty through the sport.
"They (Filipino boxers in the Olympics) worked really hard to build up their skills, their mindset, and their confidence," the official told GMA News Online in an interview.
"I am not pressuring her and I want them to just do their best and whatever medal we get in the Olympics, we will be very happy. I know that the country will rejoice."
Nesthy is currently seeing action in the women's featherweight division in the Tokyo Games.
Her maiden appearance in the global conclave has been impressive so far. She bested Democratic Republic of Congo's Sakobi Matshu Marcelat in the Round of 32 en route to another triumph over top-seeded Lin Yu-Ting of Chinese Taipei.
Nesthy will fight on Wednesday in the quarterfinals round against Yeni Arias of Colombia. A win will assure her of at least a bronze medal finish.

Langmeiers do the job with great forage and well-hydrated calves
Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin — Jim Langmeier and his sons — Joe, Mike and Keith — are humble people who don’t pretend to be doing everything right. Spend some time visiting with these guys, and talk turns to concerns about disappointing milk solids tests, mistakes made with hay crops, and yearling heifers that aren’t up to par. The Langmeiers acknowledge they have a lot to learn about grazing and overall management of permanent pastures.
Says Jim, “We aren’t doing anything special.”
That could be argued. Over the past few years, the Langmeiers’ Holstein herd has consistently produced roughly15,000 lbs. of milk per cow during 300-day lactations without the aid of a single kernel of grain. Last November this seasonally calved, organic-certified herd peaked at 55 pounds of milk/day on baleage and the final days of fall pasture. If the past is repeated, at dry-off (mainly around June 1) the herd will be at 45-48 lbs./day on pasture and a bit of baleage.
What’s more, these Holsteins first freshened at around 24 months having never tasted grain. All heifers and cows are bred AI, and last year close to 70% of the herd calved within a 21-day window starting August 1. A walk among the grazing cows as they neared peak milk last fall showed nearly uniform good to very good body condition. The Langmeiers regularly have surplus animals to sell for dairy purposes, even though Jim says they’ve only recently returned to the quality of cows he wants after selling his best animals in the mid-1990s to take some time off from milking.
With about 400 acres of very good soils, plus a hundred acres or so of permanent pasture and some rougher ground, Jim and his wife, Sabrina, and their sons have the land base to grow a lot of forage. They also have the available labor to do an excellent job of handling the details of raising calves without grain, artificially breeding all cows and heifers, and consistently putting up many tons of milking-quality baleage.
But it’s not like the Langmeiers have lots of fancy buildings to help cows produce milk through the winter: While the three-sided calf barn is new and first-rate, the free-stall barn dates to the 1970s. And all of the advantages in the world don’t necessarily guarantee that a 120-cow herd (150 calved) on a no-grain ration will support five families, even with the organic milk check.
Says Jim, “this is the most profitable way I’ve ever farmed. I’ve always believed in hay. It’s gotten us through a lot of tough years.”
The Langmeier farm spills down the north side of a broad, fertile ridge that runs across southwestern Wisconsin. This is corn country, with 200-bushel/acre crops quite common. Most of the dairy cows have gravitated to large freestall buildings and corn silage rations.
Meanwhile, Jim Langmeier has been moving in the opposite direction over the past quarter-century. His path began in 1988 in the midst of that year’s historic drought. Jim had never really liked growing corn, and in 1988 the sprays simply didn’t work. “Alfalfa saved us that year,” Jim says.
He started doing some experimenting and found that for his cows, forages were making far more milk than grain. At the same time, Sabrina was strongly encouraging him to stop using crop chemicals. Jim listened and, though he didn’t realize it at the time, he was on the path toward becoming an organic producer.
He tried a lot of things, and made a lot of mistakes. Jim stopped filling the blue silos, switched to silage pits, and by 2001 had sold the chopping equipment and gone entirely to baleage and pasture. Upon returning to milking in the late ‘90s, all calving was shifted to the fall. The last corn was grown in 1999. The herd and land were certified in 2002, and the Langmeiers started shipping to CROPP/Organic Valley the next year.
By 2004 they were down to feeding four pounds of daily grain/cow. Later that year they reduced it to two pounds. The milking herd went entirely without grain the next year, and the family has never looked back.
Calves need a good start if no-grain dairy is to have a chance of working. The Langmeiers, who haven’t fed any grain to their replacements since 2003, started raising calves in the new shed four years ago. Mike is in charge of the calf program.
He used to house calves individually for the first two weeks of life. Now, calves are started in individual pens for five days. They get a gallon of colostrum in each of their first two feedings, and learn to suck milk from a single-nipple bucket. At five days they’re grouped — initially with about nine other calves, and ultimately in groups of eight.
The Langmeiers are big believers in keeping their calves hydrated. Each day through three months they’re offered two gallons of milk/day per calf in two equal feedings, sucking from 10 Braden nipples inserted to 15-gallon pipeline acid barrels attached to plastic tubes. Jim and Joe note that while training takes longer compared to using gravity-flow nipples, problems with coughing and calves sucking each other have been eliminated since moving to the nipples/tube combination from the previous practice of dumping milk in group tubs.
But milk is just part of the picture. As soon as the calves are done consuming milk, a five-gallon pail of warm water is added to the barrel. Sometimes the calves will finish that off right away, so more water is added. The pens housing all but the youngest calves have access to water fountains, but Mike still comes back at mid-day to dump even more water into the nipple barrels in a successful effort to promote consumption. Even the younger calves drink a gallon of water a day, Joe figures.
The view here is that keeping the calves well hydrated is very important in building gut capacity, reducing stress and preventing scours, with the only real downside being the need for extra bedding.
“I think providing adequate fluids is key, I really do,” Jim emphasizes. Water is mixed with the milk starting at three months, and then gradually increased until weaning at five months.
Dry hay is important, too: calves have free-choice access to it starting by day two. Soft grass is extremely important here, with the most tender forage with the least legume content going to the youngest calves. Indeed, the Langmeiers try to avoid feeding legumes to any of their calves during the first winter. They target specific fields for calf hay: in 2011 some grassy fourth crop was just the ticket; in other years they’ll cut and bale grazing refusal that has yet to head out.
Joe says the key is to expand calves’ rib cages as they grow toward their careers making milk from bulky forage rations. He explains, “We don’t push calves to milk. We grow them to milk.”
Calves also have free-choice access to salt, kelp, humates and a milk-cow mineral. Some calves slow down at a week or 10 days and require a boost with a scoop of electrolytes added to a half-and-half mix of water and milk.
They’ve also had a few calves come down with pneumonia the past couple of years. The building has curtains on the north wall that the Langmeiers would close on cold nights. But they think this caused problems with temperature variations and moisture build-up. So late last fall, they rolled up the curtains on the north wall and installed shade cloth that allows better air movement and a more consistent climate, while also being a lot cheaper than curtains. Joe says he’s pretty confident that the change is doing the trick. Come spring, calves are usually the first animals on pasture.
The Langmeiers do so well at raising calves, and have such a low involuntary culling rate (about 10%), that they almost always have cattle to sell for dairy purposes, which is one reason why they’ve stayed almost entirely with Holstein genetics. Another reason: “We know Holsteins,” Joe explains. “With all the other changes we’ve made, we felt we needed to stay with what we knew.”
In selecting bulls, number one on Joe’s list of traits is calving ease, with feet and legs, body depth and openness also important. “I don’t even look at milk — I just skip right through,” he explains. He says that while calving ease and feet and legs offer plenty of choices within the breed, the rest of his preferred traits aren’t so easy to find, and tend to accumulate in a handful of families.
Joe says that after more than a decade of working on this, he’s starting to see a few cow families in the herd that do particularly well. Jim says his average cow has definitely gotten wider, as there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of squeezing taking place in the double-eight milking parlor, which dates to the 1950s.
While most everything is still black and white, the sons are thinking of doing some crossbreeding in an attempt to tighten the calving window: while the bulk of the herd freshens in three weeks, the season drags out through November. Already they breed smaller heifers to Jersey, and are doing some experimenting with Norwegian Red, Ayrshire and Flekvieh.
Perhaps more important than breed to a system that relies on late-summer/fall calving is the ability to harvest quality forages. “We want them to be eating the same quality forage at the bunk as they’re grazing in the field,” Joe explains.
First-crop is typically harvested starting May 20, and sometimes earlier if orchardgrass is starting to shoot seedheads. They aim to cut second and third crops at 28- to 30-day intervals when clover starts to bloom and alfalfa is at bud stage, while fourth crop is stretched out to 60 days. “If you want to get milk out of grass, you can’t have many seedheads,” Joe asserts.
The Langmeiers study weather forecasts out to two weeks in search of harvest windows. With a pair of 13-foot discbines, two balers and four people to do the job, they cut an average of a hundred acres and as many as 150 in a single day, baling most everything the next day, and in-line wrapping within a couple hours of baling.
Baleage at 50-55% moisture seems to be the sweet spot. “As soon as the feed gets drier, they start heading down on milk,” Joe says. Most years some bales will be a little too dry, so the Langmeiers mix and match as best they can in an attempt to keep the sub-par forage from hurting milk production too much. All baleage is unrolled in bunks at the freestall barn — these guys aren’t big fans of tub grinders.
As the years pass, the Langmeiers are becoming less and less excited about two things related to their forage program. One is alfalfa: Their cows just don’t milk as well on it compared to red and white clovers. The Langmeiers avoid pure legume stands, so grass is always a major component of the forage ration here. However, in calculating their hay inventory after last year’s serious summer drought, they were surprised to find that red clover fields produced just as much feed as alfalfa stands. And they say that whether hayed or grazed, stands with at least 40% red clover make far more milk than those with similar percentages of alfalfa. Indeed, they say their cows will lose weight if forced to eat too many bales with high percentages of alfalfa.
Until very recently, Joe thought he had to have alfalfa as drought protection. But starting this year and until something indicates otherwise, clover will be the main legume seeded. Joe figures he can always put some alfalfa back in the mix when the stands thin out down the line.
Also, these no-grain guys are coming to dislike tillage. While they experimented a lot, for years their basic rotation was four years of alfalfa, clover seeded with a cover crop (usually with oats), and then back to alfalfa, also with a cover. But too often it’s been too wet to cut the oats within the small window available before it throws heads. Too often they’ve either torn up the seeding or had it shaded out, while harvesting subpar feed that cost too much milk.
“Cover-cropping seems to be hurting us the most,” Jim asserts. So they’ve purchased an Aitchison drill, with a goal of interseeding both legumes and grasses as needed in permanent stands, and tilling up only the 10 acres needed to make bedding.
While mechanical harvest gets a lot of the attention around here, the Langmeiers take grazing seriously — perhaps more seriously than the great majority of fall-calvers. They offer 12-hour grazing breaks to the milking herd, have water on paddock, and rely heavily on temporary fencing in managing the grazing. The cows usually gain a couple of pounds of milk when turned out to pasture in late lactation, and by sometime in May the bunk ration has been cut back to almost nothing. Fresh cows peak in late fall while pasture is still a major part of the ration. Joe estimates that 85% of the cows’ total dry matter intake is coming from pasture for half the year.
Most of the herd is dried off by early June on Kentucky-31 tall fescue in a grove of trees. The Langmeiers like what pasture does for the dry cows, saying that they freshen in good condition — but not too fat — with shiny coats. Milk fever isn’t a concern, and just four of the first 135 cows calving last year failed to clean.
For fields that see the most grazing, the Langmeiers like perennial ryegrass, meadow fescue, white clover and some chicory. Those that see more mechanical harvest tend to be heavier in soft-leaf tall fescue and red clover. They really like perennial ryegrass, as it produced well even through last year’s drought, and Joe says ryegrass will be prominent in the seeding mix across the entire farm.
Jim and Joe say they still have a lot to learn about grazing. This year they’ll put in more permanent fence as part of an effort to intensify their management. Joe says the dairy pastures haven’t been stocked heavily enough at midsummer after the bulk of the herd was dried off and sent to rougher pasture, thus leading to uneven grazing and reduced yields. This year, they’ll use polywire to do a better job of controlling things within established paddock boundaries.
Joe also intends to lengthen the grazing rotation from the previous 15- to 20-day rounds out to at least 20-25 days, and probably even further. Compaction has become a problem in some places, so they’ll likely try some subsoiling this year. The only fertilizers they’ve applied in recent years are dairy manure and 500 lbs./acre of gypsum annually.
Young stock definitely need some additional grazing attention, Joe says. For years their system of moving the young stock every two to four days and allowing some back-grazing produced excellent results. But this didn’t work as well in last year’s drought, and Joe says they shorted the heifers in trying to stretch the feed supply out too far. Last year’s calf crop was not as big and shiny as the Langmeiers like to see, some of them had ringworm, and breeding performance has been subpar.
Says Jim, “We need to start managing them like the milk cows.” This year they intend to put dry cows and bred heifers together in one group, add the young calves after they’ve become comfortable with grazing, and move the combined herd every 12 hours.
There are other concerns. Milk urea nitrogen (MUN) levels were in the 19-22 range last year. Milk solids declined from the typical average of 3.9% milkfat and 3.1% protein to 3.5% and 2.6%, although they came back closer to normal over the winter.
And milk production this lactation has been a bit of a disappointment. Joe says the daily milk peak had been increasing by about a pound per cow for several years, reaching 59 pounds in 2010. But this winter the herd never topped 55 pounds despite the Langmeiers’ view that they had done their best job ever of managing the hay crop for top quality. Jim speculates that the cold, cloudy spring combined with a period of extreme heat and humidity robbed the forages of some of their milk-making ability, and the milking herd may also have been shortchanged on quality feed during the height of last summer’s drought. In hindsight, Joe says they probably should have opened up their good baleage sooner to get some extra energy into the cows.
“I don’t view this as a failure of the no-grain system — it was more a failure of management,” Joe explains.
So by no means are these guys considering going back to grain. The sons say they’re committed to following the current path for the foreseeable future.
“If we do things right, we see no reason why we can’t (peak at) 60 to 65 pounds,” Joe says.
Jim says he doesn’t like getting hung up on such numbers. Indeed, production per cow might go even lower down the road. This winter the Langmeiers have been running an experiment with once-a-day milking. Twelve late-calving cows — split fairly equally between high, moderate and low producers — were milking around 45 lbs./cow six weeks into the OAD trial. Joe and Jim say it’s possible that they’ll expand OAD milking and add cows with a goal of improving forage production, forage utilization and total milk produced from the farm, while also cutting down on labor.
One way or another, Jim is certain of at least one thing: “Cows weren’t meant for grain.”

Catholic Central senior among world's top-ranked amateur wake surfers
Nick Parros is just getting started, but he's already riding a wave this summer.
The South Lyon resident, who will be a senior this year at Novi Detroit Catholic Central High School, earned a first place finish in the Lake Anna Wake Surf Open in the wakefest competition held June 23-24 in Spotsylvania, Va.
His category was wake skim in the two-day event.
It was Parrios' first event at the competition level and his final placement was determined using the place points method with judging in accordance with the Competitive Wake Surf Association (CWSA) rules.
Parros has been involved in water sports since he was 10, but only recently became interested in competing at a national level.
“Since this was my first competition I was not sure what to expect, but the competition was excellent and the event was fun," said Parros, who is a National Honor Society student and member of CC's Gabriel Richard Club. "I'm looking forward to my next one in Minnesota (10,000 Lakes Surf Open on Aug. 5).”
Lake Anna Wakefest features a competition in which a rider trails behind a wakesurfing boat, riding the boat's wake without being directly pulled. Lake Anna Wake Surf Open is also a World Series of Wake Surfing event and qualifier for the World Wake Surfing Championship.
The 16-year-old Parros, who is currently ranked 14th in the world in the amateur men’s wake skim through the CWSA, starts his senior year at CC interested in applying to colleges located in the southeast region where he can continue to compete in wake surfing.

Graphic 45 Safari Adventure Zoo Party Ensemble
Hello, G’45er’s! Welcome to the Jungle! I have such a fun idea to share with you today. I’ve used Graphic 45’s Safari Adventure papers and Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Beach Cabanas to create a super cute Zoo Party Ensemble. I’ve covered everything from quick and easy invitations, to table decor, to a zoo party banner made with Staples Alpha Tags and even a mini album to hold all your fond zoo party memories. There’s LOTS to see today, so you might want to grab a cuppa and a snack to sustain yourself cuz it’s going to be wild!
Here’s a shot of the beach cabanas that I turned into jungle huts surrounded by the party banner. This is maybe the quickest, easiest banner you’ll ever make! I simply traced the Staples Alpha Tags onto patterned paper then used my craft knife to cut out the letter portion. This goes really fast when you use your craft knife on glass because the blade just glides over the slick surface. Each tag was backed with paper from the 12×12 prints and patterns, then traced inside the letters to make them pop. I also painted the outer edge of each tag with black paint to anchor the design. Add a few chips and tags, some pretty Rust Seam Binding, and the banner is done!
Here’s the banner hanging with the huts. If you look closely, you can just see the mini album and the invite peeping from the back. This zoo party ensemble is large, so it was hard to photograph. But isn’t it fun?
Zoo Party Ensemble Mini Album with Snapguide
Here’s a look at the cover of the tri-fold mini album. This is such a fun design, and really easy to make. I have a Snapguide tutorial that will walk you through the steps. You’ll also find lots of detail shots and a complete supply list in the Snapguide.
Here’s a quick peek inside. I have a flip out photo holder on the left with some hidden pockets, and a fun waterfall folio made with Tammy Tutterow’s Waterfall 1 Die (Spellbinders). And just look at all these fun animal print ribbons!
Here’s a quick look at the album fully opened. My son’s family has a wonderful tradition of taking the girls to the zoo when they turn two, so this zoo party ensemble is all set for sweet little Liddy’s 2nd birthday.
Transforming Beach Cabanas into Jungle Huts
Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Beach Cabanas (coming soon!) were quickly transformed into these darling jungle huts. (there are 5 in a set, but I wanted you to be able to see the details…and there are even more shots in the YouTube video that follows.) I simply traced each hut onto Safari Adventure 12×12 prints and patterns then used brown packing paper to build the thatched roofs. I spritzed the paper with Glimmer Mist, tore off strips, and shredded the ends with my fringe scissors. Then the paper was glued in layers onto the roof. Wrapping Burlap Ribbon and Ribbon Leaves around the base of each hut added to the jungle hut feel.
Quick and Easy Zoo Party Ensemble Invitations
How about a 5 minute themed invitation to your Zoo themed party? Well, this is it. I used a small kraft bag. as the base. Then I just cut a rectangle of leopard print paper, matted it on black paper and fussy cut the Safari Adventure Medallion. You could make one of these, then scan it into your printer and make as many as needed. The little banner tag is from the Safari Adventure Tags and Banners.
The actual invitation is even easier to create. Simply flip over an ephemera card and add the pertinent details of who, what, when, and where. Clip it into the bag and BAM! You’re ready to get the party started!
Zoo Party Ensemble YouTube Video
To see each element in detail, I created a quick YouTube Video. I hope you enjoy…and I hope I was able to share some ideas in this Zoo Party Ensemble that you’ll be able to use in your own party planning!
Thanks for stopping by!

Duke of Sussex Welcomed Back to 2019 Veterans' Mental Health Conference!
HRH the Duke of Sussex attended the fifth Veterans' Mental Health Conference which took place at King's College London on Thursday 14 March 2019. This annual event, organised by the King's Centre for Military Health Research with funding from the Forces in Mind Trust, brings together prominent academics, researchers and mental health practitioners to share ideas around initiatives and best practice, and to discuss findings and progress on better supporting veterans' mental wellbeing.
HRH Prince Harry's arrival at the 2019 Veterans' Mental Health Conference (from left-to-right): Deputy Lieutenant for Westminster Dr Paul Knapman, HRH Prince Harry, Professor Sir Simon Wessely, Professor Nicola Fear and Professor Neil Greenberg
The Duke joined delegates for the morning session to listen to the opening address delivered by the Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood MP PC, Minister for Defence People and Veterans, together with presentations throughout the morning that focussed on international perspectives on military health. After the morning session, the Duke met with some of the conference speakers to discuss their work.
HRH Prince Harry talking to speakers following the morning session of the 2019 Veterans' Mental Health Conference
The Duke of Sussex is passionate about promoting the welfare of those who are serving or who have served their country in the Armed Forces. His attendance at the conference is part of his on-going work at The Royal Foundation with the Heads Together campaign to change the national conversation on mental health, and his work in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence aimed at improving mental health support and training across the Defence community.
Defence People and Veterans Minister the Rt Hon Tobias Ellwood MP PC (l) delivering the opening address to the 2019 Veterans' Mental Health Conference
In his address, Mr Ellwood praised the Duke for his work with the foundation and raised the issue of progress around the issue of mental health in the Armed Forces.
He said "This is a passionate subject and I'm really pleased we are all here to discuss this.
"It is a journey and I do believe we are winning but it is a long journey that we need to keep working at.
"With better education, better promotion of the fact that you can be looked after and it will not affect your career prospects if you say 'Boss I need to be sorted out, can I just check myself out'.
"They need to be able to say 'fine, get yourself sorted out, come back in and make yourself better', rather than allowing those individual, possibly small issues, to exacerbate.
"Society's attitudes are changing which is a good thing, it isn't just us on this journey.
Mr Ellwood also revealed during his address that the Ministry of Defence is undertaking "a 17,000-person study in those that had actually served in Afghanistan and Iraq to check up on them and see their progress".
Among other guest speakers addressing this year's conference were Professor Zahava Solomon of Tel Aviv University, Dr Charles Winstanley of Combat, BBC Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale, and Dr Jonathan Leach of NHS England.
The 2020 Veterans' Mental Health Conference will take place on Thursday 12 March 2020 in the Great Hall, King's College London.
You can register your details to be placed on our list to be notified when tickets become available by emailing [email protected].

If you don't see a color service that fits your needs, contact us so we can find the best solution for you.
I highly recommend her services, you will not be disappointed.
I hired Jodi of Kelly Home Designs to guide me in choosing paint colors for my living and dining rooms. This was money well spent! Everyone knows how daunting it can be choosing color schemes... and you get frozen with indecision. Jodi came in, listed to my needs and worked with me to come up with some really perfect color schemes. She was very friendly and super easy to work with. She has experience with older homes and that was a huge plus for me. Colors were chosen and advice given based on my preferences and not what colors were "in" for the season. I also appreciated her non-judgmental demeanor. I've had other consultants in my home and frankly felt judged as if my project was beneath them. NOT the case with Kelly Home Designs.

WASHINGTON — When the financial system was teetering, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke flooded it with trillions of dollars to save the banks and free up credit for consumers and businesses.
Looming in the future is a high-risk challenge for the economy’s rescuer-in-chief: He will have to mop up that money without disrupting a nascent recovery.
And timing is vital. Act too fast, and Bernanke risks choking off lending to businesses and everyday Americans. Wait too long, and he risks setting off crippling inflation.
“We are in such an unusual situation,” said Lyle Gramley, a Fed member in the early 1980s and now chief economic strategist at Soleil Securities Corp. “The Fed will have a more difficult set of decisions to make.”
Assuming he manages to help usher in a sustained recovery, Bernanke, like his predecessors, will eventually face still another challenge: He will be under enormous political pressure to keep interest rates low, even though that could speed inflation.
But the Fed chief will face no task with quite the peril of withdrawing the trillions the Fed has pumped into the financial system in ways that had never been envisioned.
That money helped prop up shaky banks. It also was intended to unlock lending to people and companies, a key component of any recovery but one that so far has had only spotty success.
When, precisely, to pull back the money is an issue sure to surface as Bernanke, his counterparts in other countries, academics and economists meet over the next couple of days at an annual Fed conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Some analysts think it could take four or five years for the Fed to withdraw the money entirely and shrink a balance sheet that is now about $2 trillion, more than double what it was when the financial crisis struck.
Already, the Fed has taken baby steps. It has said it will allow one program intended to support money market mutual funds — one that hasn’t even been used — to expire Oct. 30. It’s also reduced the maximum it will lend to banks under two other programs.
And earlier this month, the central bank signaled it won’t extend past October a $300 billion government debt-buying program. That program is intended to lower consumer and corporate loan rates.
But this week the Fed extended a separate program designed to increase lending and help the commercial real estate market. So far, about $40 billion in loans has been extended to investors — a small fraction of the $200 billion made available in the program’s first phase. And Americans still have trouble getting loans.
The biggest decisions lie ahead.
One will be deciding when and how to unload $1.25 trillion in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage-backed securities without sending mortgage rates surging. Another delicate matter is when the Fed should start selling some of its $300 billion in Treasury debt.
In fighting the recession and financial crisis, Bernanke unleashed some of the most aggressive actions in the history of the central bank, which was created in 1913 after a series of bank panics.

All emotions have their purpose and are natural reactions to thoughts, physical sensations or external circumstances. Emotions are there to keep us safe, help us connect and be used as a tool for problem-solving.
An example of emotions keeping us safe would be an external danger triggering fear. We would then be hit by the physical and mental cues to escape danger - the age old caveman concept of fight/flight/freeze/fawn/flop.
"If your emotions are the weather, then your mood is the climate. Emotions come and go, but mood is the general trend".
Emotions can be helpful even when they are uncomfortable or upsetting. For example, grief at the loss of a loved one may help you to process your thoughts as well as encouraging you to connect to others who also feel this.
Emotional facts as therapeutic tools
These are all basic principles I’ve often encountered in therapy. If you are very mentally healthy, you may experience some difficulties with your emotions and their causes. But when you become mentally ill, these reactions often diverge from logic and stop being helpful, on the whole.
This could look like feeling a strong sense of shame as a minor incident. Mental illness can also change the intensity of the emotion you feel.
I have had this experience before when my mental health was at its worst; I spilled a few drops of milk whilst making coffee.
I instantly felt upset and ashamed of myself in the midst of a distorted, emotional reaction. In my mind it wasn’t a small slip up, it was "proof" that I couldn’t do even the simplest thing. I ended up crying on the kitchen floor for quite some time, totally unable to articulate just what was so upsetting.
Emotional about emotions
Emotions can also be the cause of a second emotion. In this situation I first felt sad, then I felt ashamed both at the mistake and how I was reacting to it. This can sometimes be where the problem lies, too: you may judge your emotions, or your feelings about your emotions could become distressing.
Again, these principles are found in therapy. In Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), I spent some time working on the physical and mental causes of emotions and how these emotions interact.
When I first learned this I was utterly terrified. I did not recognise the concept that emotions have their causes within myself, so I thought that I was "broken" for not having "normal" emotions and that I was the problem. At the time, I was also confused what the difference was between emotion and mood.
This was later explained to me very simply and effectively. If your emotions are the weather, then your mood is the climate. Emotions come and go, but mood is the general trend.
As I began to work more on my emotions as part of therapy, and over time since my various therapies have come to a close, I have started to accept these facts. I no longer view them as a sign that I am broken but as a sign of hope.
Reframing my thoughts
It takes time and I am still in the process of reframing my thoughts. Like anything, practise creates habits and ways of being. There is no way of waking up and suddenly being in full acceptance of everything I’ve spent years being insecure about.
But now, I am beginning to understand that my emotions are not wrong but they are traits of mental illness.
At this point, it’s easy to fall into the next thinking error, which would be that it’s not emotions but mental illnesses that make me feel like I am wrong.
Using logic and facts, though, I can understand that there is a difference between a mental illnesses being difficult and someone with them being a problem. Just because you have a problem, it doesn’t mean you are a problem.
So when I feel myself falling into this trap, I can tell myself "something is wrong". The sentence ends there. By not adding "with me" to that statement, I am finally realising that I am not to blame for being unwell.
Whilst mental illness is not the "right" way - and we should not have to accept it as the way things are - it is not "wrong" in the moral sense. It is not inherently evil or bad. Instead, I am trying to view it as something that is not quite right that I can work on with others to help me.
Yes, emotions are natural and are there to help us, but sometimes they go wrong and don’t serve us well. Or our interpretation of them can be illogical.
But before we can find out where things have gone wrong, we need a head clear of judgement.
So I tell myself: I am not bad, broken, wrong or evil. The problem is happening within me and impacts me a lot, but is not caused by me. It is not a moral problem. It is very simple - it’s just a problem.
Some days I have to constantly repeat these things to myself. And that’s okay.
- See more: What worked for me: Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
- See more: I may be overweight but I still have anorexia
Once I’ve told myself this, I can then begin to work through the basic emotional facts and processes to find which of my emotions is causing me a problem, and what is causing the emotion itself.
The aim for me now is to try to work using these facts, secure in the knowledge that emotions that are doing their job and they help me be safe, connected, and able to problem-solve. Those may not always be emotions that make me feel comfortable or positive, and it’s okay to have uncomfortable emotions. But when they are rooted in lack of reason, they are likely to cause bigger problems.
My emotions are not bad. When I accept them for what they are, and myself who who and how I am, I can begin to work on what to do about them.

Tracking the GRU online
Updated: Oct 17, 2020
Russia-based threat actors continue to launch large-scale cyber campaigns that target countries holding elections. Recently, Russia-based threat actors are targeting European governments ahead of the upcoming European Parliament elections. One of the most prolific campaigns launched by Russia-based threat actors is the interference in the 2016 US presidential election. According to an indictment by the US Department of Justice, Russia’s military intelligence agency called the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) engaged in cyber operations to interfere with the 2016 US presidential election. The GRU units responsible for this campaign are Units 26165 and 74455, and are comprised of at least 12 intelligence officers. Open-source intelligence (OSINT) identified three of these GRU officers having an online presence, which includes information previously not reported by the FBI and profiles on the Russian social media platform VKontakte (VK).
Using OSINT to identify GRU officers
A new image search site allows a user to upload a photograph, which it then recognizes a face in the image, and matches the face to profiles on VK. The accuracy of the results varies but a score from 0 to 1 is assigned to each match to determine its likeness score. Usually results with a score of 0.60 and above match the entity being searched. The results include images of VK profiles that are currently active but also from deleted, suspended, and private profiles. Furthermore, the results only produce images without a link to the specific VK profile – requiring a reverse image search to find the specific VK profile.
ARTEM ANDREYEVICH MALYSHEV (Малышев Артём Андреевич)
According to the FBI, Malyshev is a Second Lieutenant in the Russian military assigned to Unit 26165. Malyshev uses a variety of monikers, including “djangomagicdev” and “realblatr.”
Figure 1 - Mr. Malyshev's FBI Most Wanted Page
Uploading Malyshev’s most wanted picture results in multiple matches that range from a likeness score of 0.68 to 0.78. Many of the results closely resemble Malyshev and some even contain the same facial expression observed in his most wanted picture. Several of the images contain females kissing or physically touching Malyshev, which likely indicates a close relationship.
Figure 2 - Mr. Malyshev's results
Multiple reverse image searches did not produce any VK profiles associated with Malyshev. As previously mentioned, the results may contain images from deleted VK profiles. However, reverse image searching one of the female subjects that appears to be close with Malyshev, produces her VK profile. The female subject identified is likely Malyshev’s sister based on her last name and pictures with Malyshev. A search of her friends did not result in a profile for Malshev, which is another indicator that his profile is deleted. Individuals that have a minimal online presence often require pivoting to their known associates, such as family, friends, or colleagues. Sometimes these associates post images or comments about the person of interest, as observed with Malyshev and his likely sister.
The image with the lowest likeness score produced two different profiles for Malyshev. Malyshev joined two online market places in April 2016 and August 2017; where he sold a television, guitar, and cell phone.
Figure 3 - Items for sale
ANATOLIY SERGEYEVICH KOVALEV (Ковалев Анатолий Сергеевич)
According to the FBI, Kovalev is an officer in the Russian military assigned to Unit 74455 who worked in the GRU’s 22 Kirova Street building (the Tower).
Figure 4 - Mr. Kovalev's FBI Most Wanted Poster
In the case of Anatoliy Sergeyevich Kovalev, his most wanted picture also produced several results.
Figure 5 - Mr. Kovalev's results
One of the results depicts Kovalev participating in a military competition and wearing a race bib with the number 155. A reverse image search of this photograph produced a VK profile associated with Kovalev. The profile picture shows Kovalev in the competition and wearing the same race bib with number 155.
Figure 6 - Mr. Kovalev with race bib
The information observed in the VK profile includes but is not limited to a date of birth, hometown, university, and relationship status. The date of birth and hometown observed in the profile are not listed on the FBI’s most wanted poster. However, the FBI uses the term “Date(s) of Birth Used”, which suggests they list all identified dates of birth associated with a suspect. This notion could indicate the FBI have not identified this VK profile associated with Kovalev.
FBI Most Wanted Poster
Date(s) of Birth Used: 2 August 1991
Place of Birth: Totma, Vologda Oblast, Russia
Date(s) of Birth Used: 12 April 1994
Place of Birth: Irkutsk, Russia
Figure 7 - New DOB for Mr. Kovalev
IVAN SERGEYEVICH YERMAKOV (Ермаков Иван Сергеевич)
According to the FBI, Yermakov is a Russian military officer assigned to Unit 26165. Since in or around 2010, Yermakov used various online personas, including “Kate S. Milton,” “James McMorgans,” and “Karen W. Millen,” to conduct hacking operations on behalf of Unit 26165.
Figure 8 - Mr. Yermakov's FBI Most Wanted Poster
Analyzing Yermakov produced a similar outcome as observed with Malyshev. No VK profile associated with Yerkakov is identified. However, several other online associations are observed, including an amateur football league profile and numerous wedding pictures.
Figure 9 - Mr. Yermakov's results
The date of birth stated on Yerkakov's football profile matches the reported date(s) of birth used by the FBI.
This OSINT analysis is not comprehensive but demonstrates that at least one technique can reveal information not previously reported by the FBI. Furthermore, at least three of the twelve GRU officers wanted by the FBI have an online presence and those with limited presences are identifiable from their close associates. Identifying an individual's online presence provides valuable insights into their behavior, knowledge, usernames, location, etc. This information can be used to help track cyber threat actors and their large-scale cyber operations.

Our client was a Global Auto Giant, where we worked with their Research, IT and product development team. They were looking to digitize their various workflows and were keen on working with partners who could help them understand and implement the ServiceNow platform seamlessly.
The Auto giant was keen on ServiceNow to build their application because of it’s UI/UX capabilities and Up-Time availability. Earlier they were managing their workflows on Excel and Emails, a common problem with organizations being dependent on traditional tools like excel and emails for workflow management, increasing room for errors and loosing track of the updates via email.
These pain points brought our client to the discussion table and the need to address the pitfalls of not having a digitized outlook toward managing workflows. Hence, for all valid reasons they selected ServiceNow as their go to platform.
The critical selection criteria for selecting ServiceNow was:low code or no code platform, Up-Time of the platform, UI UX capabilities, secure SAAS platform and obviously a Market Leader.
As per a survey done by McKinsey of the business leaders in 2018, small & large enterprises poured $1.3 trillion into digital transformation efforts. Roughly $900 billion of that went to projects that failed. Forward-thinking businesses are speeding up their digital transformation journeys. Through workflow digitization, they are achieving operational efficiency and faster speed to market, innovating in products and services, attracting new customers, and engaging the best talent.
According to Forrester’s Q1 2018 Digital Process Automation Survey, 32% of business and technology decision makers say that accelerating digital business transformation is their top driver for their process improvement initiatives.

Transportation and freight are essential…especially during these challenging times.
Here are some recent updates taking place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic:
- Multiple states are waiving toll road fees. All over the nation we’ve seen toll roads and express lanes open up to make driver commutes easier and more inexpensive.
- Companies within the supply chain are changing services to help keep freight moving even during worst case scenarios – Including offering multiple document scanning options.
- FMSCA issues expanded HOS emergency declaration.
- FreightWaves coronavirus survey shows need for driver safety protocols.
- Questions arise about how good communication systems are for those working from home. More on that HERE.
For more info on protecting yourself and others, please review these prevention guidelines on the CDC website.
We will continue to monitor how the pandemic effects the transportation industry and keep you updated on developments.
We are truly thankful for the men and women in the freight industry working together to keep our great nation moving forward.

I just discovered a subtitling tool called Amara that is a global captioning and translation project for video. I’m a couple of years behind the times. In case you haven’t heard of it either, here’s an introduction to the tool.
Amara is now helping with translations and captioning in many places. They say their caption editor is easy to use. I didn’t try it out, but it’s free. Amara also provides you with a way to connect to others around the world who might be willing to help translate and caption a video into another language. Since translating and or captioning a video is a labor intensive process, it’s interesting that this web-based tool is using the idea of crowd sourcing the work.
- There’s a good review of how using the tool works at PCWorld. The review is a couple of years old so there may be improvements since then.
- The Global Voices Community Blog has a recently updated post of instructions for translators who use Amara.
- Vimeo, TED, and many other organizations partnered with Amara. TED provides a set of tutorials for Amara users.
Their Twitter account is @AmaraSubs. Their Facebook page is Amara Community. Neither have frequent postings, but they are worth following if you are interested in accessibility or teach accessibility in your web education classes or at conferences.

Arrive in Bilbao full of

purrs sweetly beneath our bottoms.
I have forgotten the Works 2000 DVD that we

plan. We buy a map. We get more lost.
I execute a u-turn. We meet an oncoming car on
the right side of the road. I leave the road just too late to avoid
collision and watch the world go round. It really was just like Sega Rally
only more expensive and with more broken glass.

Community of Practicefor educators and stakeholders
Online communities of practice (CoP) can help educators strengthen their performance through these online social learning spaces, as educators can effectively access, share, and create knowledge, as well as strengthen their commitment to the profession.
This is an online community of practice for educators and educational planners about digital pedagogy. The CoP aims to create value for educators in different levels :
🌀 through community activities and interactions that educators experience immediately by participating in the community.
🌀 potential value as the accumulation of knowledge and social capital that can result from participation and could prove useful in the future, including new knowledge, skills, resources, or relationships.
🌀 applied value when educators will apply what they have learned or developed to their professional practices. Realized value results from applying what has been learned or generated by engaging with the community.
🌀 Reframing value when educators redefine what success means as a result of their collaboration.
Every Monday a new topic for discussion will be posted and every Wednesday a new activity related to previous topic will be posted by project partners.
Feel free to post your thoughts and ideas but all posts will be modetated before being published in order to avoid spammers.
Ask your colleagues and any other interested on Digital Pedagogy to join this community!
You can join Community of Practice the framework here

Crystals, a Terror Mountain Legend
Tucked away within the shimmering frozen chasms of the Ice Caves, the Ice Crystal shop is home to many wondrous weapons carved from the walls of the Caves themselves. The secret to crafting such "brilliant and beautiful" weapons has been carefully guarded, passed down through each owner of the Ice Crystal shop.
This is the tale of the first two.
"How much further, Kiole?"
"The legends and the map seem to say we don't have too far left to go, Rothe."
The two brothers were a dark speck against the pure white landscape, trudging through waist-high snow towards the icy caves that lay buried to the north. The two Shoyrus, one golden, the other silver, had studied the art of combat under the same master, and once hearing the legends of old, had developed the same dreams. The golden Shoyru was Kiole, the younger brother, who wielded spells while his silver brother Rothe had a preference for steel. Together they had discovered ancient texts speaking of incredible weapons carved from resilient ice and infused with mystical snow, and together they had embarked on a journey from their distant home to learn the craft of ice weaponry.
Across their shoulders were strapped travelers' packs containing among other things craftsmen's tools, small chisels and hammers and even soft polishing cloths for delicate magicians' work. Within their minds burned a strong will to see the quest through. Closer they drew to the entrance to the Caves, and closer they drew to the secrets that had driven them thus far.
The ongoing snowstorm made no sign of ceasing as the brothers approached a sheer cliff face, covered with huge runes carved into the stone.
"The map, the map..." Kiole muttered, fumbling with the thick woolen gloves that obscured his hands. Unfolding the tattered piece of thick canvas, he scanned the surface for the runes that revealed the hidden entrance.
Rothe grunted irritably. The silver Shoyru was not particularly patient, and when his brother wordlessly pointed to a curled, twisted symbol, he eagerly shoved at the stone with almost unnecessary force.
A creak, a gush of stale air, and cracks appeared in the cliff face, outlining a door of stone, its center marked by the symbol Kiole had indicated. The stones groaned, as if unwilling to yield.
"Too easy!" Rothe crowed, and rushed inside, just as a particularly fierce gale of frost howled across the Terror Mountain landscape. Kiole shook his head and followed his brother, darting through the door just as a chill blizzard wind began to push it closed.
The sight that greeted them on the other side was strange and otherworldly.
They were in a large workshop of sorts, lit here and there by a series of bottles scattered across wooden workbenches, shelves, and tables. The walls were white stone; at the far end of the huge room was a door of carved stone, inlaid with steel, spiderwebbed with frost. Oddly enough, while their breath fogged in the air, the two did not feel cold. Rothe seemed disappointed by the lack of weapons, but Kiole practically (and quite literally) flew across the room to examine a row of cylindrical bottles.
"Brother, this is Fire Snow!" Kiole excitedly tugged an ancient tome from his traveler's pack, opening the book slowly, reverently, until he found the page he was looking for. "It's the reason there's light here. Fire Snow, enchanted to burn without the need of—"
"Kiole, forget your magicks, we came here to find the secret to weapons of ice, and there are no weapons of ice here..." Rothe griped, irritably shedding his own pack and giving the bottles a look of disdain.
His brother's reply was to uncork the bottle of Fire Snow and launch some of the stuff at Rothe's face.
"Arghhhh!" Rothe crashed to the floor and rolled around in agony (punctuated by cries of "getitoffgetitoff" and "itburnsitburns" and more "aarrgghhhh"s) while his younger brother stifled a small smile and peacefully continued his reading.
"Fire Snow is certainly a weapon, Rothe, just look how effectively it works," the golden Shoyru turned a page, ignoring his brother rolling around on the ground. "And the legends say that the recipe of sorts is simple enough, all it requires is snow from the inside of the Caves and an incantation, a diagram drawn in the ice, but there's nothing written about the actual incantation, what kind of diagram..." Kiole looked at the steel and stone door. "Perhaps that is our way inside..."
Rothe had recovered enough to look up. "Inside... to the Ice Caves? Do you know what lies beyond this door? Monsters, warriors, sorcerers, evil undead beasts meant to keep the unworthy from stealing the precious ice and snow?"
Kiole grimaced and flipped through a few more pages in his book. "No, I don't think there's anything as exciting as that. Let me see." The golden Shoyru carefully placed his book on a table, then walked around the workshop. In the dim light cast by the bottles of Fire Snow, he could barely make out the shapes of roughly-hewn wooden shelves, stocked with countless empty bottles. Empty bottles, and strange, twisted shapes of what appeared to be glass, glass dripping water.
"Brother, all these shelves... perhaps some held the weapons you were looking for. But it seems as if..."
The silver Shoyru understood. "Indeed! It seems as if nearly all the ice has gone and melted. Hmm... Kiole, do you remember the technique those Air Faeries taught you, those years ago?"
The younger brother nodded. Concentrating, Kiole brought his hands together, conjuring a small pulse of white light. "Diamond Dust," he muttered, bringing his palms outward as a maelstrom of tiny snowflakes gathered, warped, danced in the soft light. Directing the ability towards one of the shelves, Kiole winced as there was a faint hissing sound—and the walls began to light up.
A chandelier carved of deep blue ice flickered into sight, lit with ethereal fire ("Snow Flame," Kiole whispered in wonder) and runes began winding their way through the walls, brightening the large workshop, tracing the designs of weapons once designed, now forgotten.
"It was said that the first crafters of ice left behind a legacy, which would be revealed only to the worthy," Rothe raised a hand to trace the carving of an ice sword, burned into the walls. The runes and drawings, which had been outlined in blazing blue light, had faded to a charcoal black, dark against the walls. And so the brothers realized, this was why there were no books, no charts, no written records of the weapon designs. All the secrets were hidden within the workshop's walls.
Kiole stared. "They're beautiful," he whispered as his eyes raced across the runes, reading the script, deciphering the curling symbols and the secrets they held.
"What are we waiting for?" Rothe crowed, and seized a handful of carving tools from the floor of the workshop. "Stop staring at those Snow Flame fire lights or whatever they are. We have weapons to craft!"
Not too long later, after a rather raucous shouting match that nearly shook icicles from the cavern walls, the two brothers agreed to open the heavy steel door and take a look at whatever lay outside. It surprised them both when the door swung open smoothly; the hinges made no creak, no groan.
An eerie sight lay before them. Tunnels, miles upon miles of ice-encrusted tunnels, winding mazelike deep into the mountain, illuminated here and there by crevices in the walls and ceiling through which shafts of sunlight trickled through. Kiole dashed back into the workshop and returned with a torch lit with Snow Flame, as well as several unlit torches. And so the two set off into the tunnels, noting in awe the enormous shimmering icicles that dangled from the ceiling.
The brothers busied themselves finding the tunnel with the most icicles. As Kiole carved indents to hold the snow torches to mark a path back, Rothe hacked away at two icicles to bring to the workshop, and picked some snow grapes for later.
When the two returned to the workshop, they closed the steel door, and each picked a design from the walls to follow. Neither Rothe nor Kiole was a stranger to carving weapons from wood, but ice would prove to be much different...
"How do you fare, brother?" Rothe sighed, throwing aside a hammer and knocking away the chisel he had been using with it.
"Not too well. And you?" Kiole had buried his face in his book. The Ice Scepter he was attempting to carve was crudely made, lacking the refined detail of the picture on the wall he had been facing. Rothe's Snowball Club possessed similar defects.
"Our own tools are too clumsy for such work," Rothe stated. "There was a village we passed through at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps we should purchase tools as well as food the next time we visit there."
Kiole shook his head. "It was written that the walls of the Ice Caves, the ice of the Ice Caves, is touched with magic. I think there is something we are doing wrong."
Weeks passed. Sleeping bags were laid out and folded neatly each day. Icicles were cut down and shaped. The two brothers continued to hone their craft, but while they improved in the art of carving ice, their works still looked like little more than crude imitations of the intricate weapons whose pictures were carved into the workshop walls.
"Rothe, what do you think happened to whoever carved the images on the workshop walls?" Kiole asked one particularly challenging day, when he'd shattered three glass bottles in a row failing to create Fire Snow.
"Perhaps they gave up their practice... or were trapped outside by an avalanche... I can't imagine why they would spend so much time putting pictures into walls, though."
"Magical pictures... they wanted to teach someone, but what if that someone never arrived?" Kiole lobbed a snowball at the ceiling, watching it soar upwards and then splat somewhere near his brother's foot. Rothe gave him a dark look. Regardless of how warm it was in the workshop, ice and snow never melted within it, and that fact made for many pranks Rothe would have preferred to do without.
The Snow Flame chandelier flickered and dimmed. Kiole noticed and directed a stream of Diamond Dust at it; the blue-white light returned to normal.
"We need to keep learning."
Their food supplies dwindled. Eventually both brothers spoke of giving it up, spoke of returning home to pursue some other long-winded quest. Yet both remained stubborn, and one day, Kiole stumbled upon something that changed their fate.
He had been throwing out the latest batch of roughly-hewn, already-melting icicles, and something on the tunnel wall caught his eye. It was a series of runes, etched into the ice, above a section of wall which seemed to be missing some pieces.
Kiole bent closer. S... SH... SHAR... SHARDS.
In the flickering light of the Snow Flame torch, Kiole read the secret to the soul of the ice weapons, and knew not what it meant. What he remembered, however, was that there had been a drawing of shards, or rather, a shard, somewhere on the walls of the workshop.
Rothe was stretched out on the floor, snoring soundly, when Kiole threw open the door and dumped a snowball on his brother's face.
The silver Shoyru woke with a mangled (and slightly comical) yell, and after swatting at his face, he glared at his brother, who had carefully dumped a pile of ice chunks onto a table.
"Kiole, there are better ways of asking someone to wake up," Rothe grumbled.
But Kiole was too busy looking at what he had brought back from the Caves. "Brother, look at this. I can't believe we'd missed it."
Rothe was only slightly interested. He sidled over, glancing at the chunks, no, pieces of ice Kiole had brought back. Wrapped with simple lengths of cord, the tiny fragments showed no clear significance. "Kiole, what have you found?"
The golden Shoyru pointed at part of the wall, where a pictograph showed a perfect replica of the shards, surrounded by small depictions of every weapon that was explained in the workshop. "Ice Shards. These are the tools we need. The only intact relics left by the original masters, because..."
"...because that was all the next masters should have needed." Rothe picked up one of the shards, careful to only touch the cord, and examined it. "...this is razor-sharp, brother. Where did you find them all?"
Kiole shrugged, but grabbed an icicle he had been attempting to carve earlier. "I found these scattered in the tunnels, hidden in niches carved into the walls, packed with snow. It seems like they were regularly harvested, and only from places marked with runes. Small runes. But I think..."
Rothe had seized the icicle. Exchanging a glance with his brother, he brought ice to ice, shard to shaft. He carved.
Slowly, almost with a sigh, the ice yielded to the shard, and by Rothe's hand the former chunk of icicle changed, morphed, was shaped into a blade, shaped into an intricately-curved scimitar. When Rothe stepped back, the weapon that gleamed on the table was a perfect mirror image of the one depicted in stone on the wall across the room.
"So that's the secret," Kiole breathed. He picked up another ice shard, and something occurred to him. "Brother, I had been carving a staff. What made you decide to craft a blade instead?"
Rothe was still shaken. "I... I had nothing to do with it." He picked up the scimitar in awe. "It was as if... the ice carved itself." He swung the scimitar. "It's perfect. Light, balanced, Kiole, throw a snowball at me."
The golden Shoyru was surprised, but complied. A whoosh, a whistling sound, and two halves of snowball struck the ground.
Rothe stared. Kiole stared. Both said nothing, as the remains of the snowball collapsed on the floor and the ice scimitar winked in the light of the snow flames. The weapon slipped from Rothe's hand, it clattered to the stone floor, where it came to rest without a scratch.
It was golden Kiole who finally broke the silence. "Well... at least we won't need to worry about money for food anymore."
Again, time passed. Rothe took over the task of carving weapons, while Kiole gradually taught himself to whittle enchanted gloves, which he used to create the magical items of the snow and ice: snowflakes, rings, magical shields. Rothe found that carving ice with the enchanted ice shards was more like shaping clay than carving. Kiole found that snow scraped from the walls using ice shards created perfect Fire Snow. They traded with the village at the foot of the mountain, traded with visitors who came to see the mountain.
Eventually they discovered that a portion of the Ice Cave tunnels led from the workshop to an "ice arena" currently being constructed. So at that tunnel entrance the brothers built a small shop from bricks carved of ice, and at that shop (Kiole named it, Rothe didn't know why it was called "Ice Crystal" but it certainly sounded impressive) they began to sell their items to whoever happened to pass their way in the Caves.
Gradually the runes on the walls of the workshop faded, but it mattered little as both brothers had virtually memorized the designs of each weapon they had learned to craft. (and as it was, Rothe found out that Kiole had been sketching the designs into a book anyway) The brothers kept a few extra ice weapons on hand for when the shop needed restocking, and always, there was a shelf dedicated to ice shards and only ice shards, the essential tool and heart of ice weaponry.
It was some time before Kiole had the idea to sell the shards themselves. Rothe scoffed at first, but then agreed good-naturedly.
Of course, the shards never sold particularly well. But the day came, sooner than the brothers expected, when another Shoyru, younger than both of them, glanced over the ice swords and snowflakes, looked past the weapons and magical Frost Healing bag, and picked up an ice shard. He paid for it, and quietly, almost hesitantly, asked the brothers if they would tell him their story, perhaps tell him the use of such a seemingly simple piece of ice.
Rothe and Kiole, who had been talking together about maybe finding an apprentice someday, exchanged glances.
"Of course," they replied in unison.

‘Baildon House, Baildon, West Yorkshire’
Stroll for a minute by Theodore Bent’s childhood home, wherever you are, even if, like the peripatetic Bents, you happen to be in Africa, Arabia, or excavating in the Eastern Med! This fine, Grade II listed, home consists of two dwellings, a cottage and house, now linked together. From the informative book ‘Baildon and the Baildons; a history of a Yorkshire manor and family’ by W.P. Baildon (1912, Baildon), we have it that the handsome residence also known as ‘The Rookery, Low Baildon… was probably built by Robert Holden; a stone on the south front [of the main house] has the initials “R. H.” and the date 1724; hence Holden Lane, which runs alongside; it was formerly known as “Baildon House.” William Holden of Low Baildon died in 1809, aged 71, leaving an only daughter, Anne, who married John Lambert. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert were both buried in Baildon Chapel, as also was their only son, William Holden Lambert… The property descended to two daughters, one of whom, Margaret Eleanor, married James Bent [Theodore Bent’s father]… Mr. and Mrs. Bent lived at Baildon House (The Rookery), and here was born, in 1852, their son, James Theodore Bent, the distinguished traveller and antiquary…’
In fact, Theodore was born in Liverpool on 30 March 1852, an only child at a time when large families were very much the norm – explained perhaps by the fact that his father, James, (1807-1876) was 45 when Theodore was born and his mother, Margaret (c. 1811-1873), 41; and their son’s name ‘a gift from God’ thus highly appropriate.
James Bent was was a member of a large and entrepreneurial clan, with, particularly, brewing interests; his marriage in April 1848 to a wealthy heiress, and with a grand house to boot, meant that he could semi-retire to Baildon, his wife’s village (as it was then), and enjoy a life of relative ease and manage quietly his estate and rents until his death in 1876. The mural tablet in the south aisle of the Bents’ local church, St John’s, suggests James’ comfort in his small, close, Baildon family (mercifully distant from the cutthroat, competitive and roller-coaster brewery businesses run by brothers John, William, Thomas and Rowland in Liverpool, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Macclesfield): ‘This Monument is erected in affectionate remembrance of Margaret Eleanor Bent, the beloved wife of James Bent, Esq., of Baildon House, who died November the eleventh, 1873, Aged 62. She was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and an humble Christian, Loving and greatly beloved. ” Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee.” Isaiah, xxvi, 3 v. [‘Baildon and the Baildons’, p. 28]. (W.P. Baildon’s book also refers to the Bents having at their local church: ‘St John’s, Baildon: Pews 13 & 15 (latter for ‘servants’)… [and] a pew (34) for Major Bradley for his houses in Kirklands [pp. 193-4]; and page 195 lists James Bent as chapel trustee and ‘of Liverpool, common brewer’.)
James’ in-laws, the Lamberts (sometimes Lambarts) represented a prominent local family, Lords of the Manor of Baildon, with an elegant ‘Hall’ and local estates – memorials to them can be found today in St John’s church. (An harmonious coda followed when Theodore married Mabel, her Irish mother coming from a distant branch of this family.)
For a glimpse of this area of Yorkshire (Aireborough, Baildon, Bingley, Shipley) in 1889/91 (when Theodore Bent was still a property owner there) there is an evocative 1894 OS 6″ map; and for delightful armchair ‘walks’ of Baildon, settle down with the series of on-line booklets produced by Baildon Local History Society (Commissioned by Baildon Parish Council) and no-nonsensely illustrated by Roy Lorrain-Smith (good maps by Vic McLindon). Their ‘Threshfield Walk‘ (revised 2016) includes the Lamberts’ ‘Baildon Hall’, the Bents’ ‘Baildon House’, and sections on Theodore Bent’s assets at ‘Brook Hill’, a portion of which “… is said to have been one of the properties sold by James Theodore Bent to finance his trip to Zimbabwe to visit the ruins in Mashonaland in 1890/91” – but this is uncorroborated.
After his father’s death, Theodore kept Baildon House, renting it out, residing with his wife at their (rented) house in London (Great Cumberland Place, first 43, then 13) and their larger manor at Sutton Hall, outside Macclesfield. A few days after their wedding, however, Theodore sold off much of his Baildon land to the local authorities:
Bradford Town Council – A quarterly and special meeting of the Town Council will be held on Tuesday [14th August 1877]… accepting the offer of Mr James Theodore Bent to sell to the Corporation certain lands and hereditaments situate in the township of Baildon, containing 25 acres, 2 roods, and 18 perches [c. 10 ha], for the sum of £4,000 [c. £200,000].” (The Bradford Daily Telegraph, 11 August 1877)
On Theodore’s death in 1897, the Baildon property was sold to a Mr. Smith Feather, J. P.
The Wikipedia page for Baildon House provides informative architectural and design details: ‘Cottage and house, now single residence. Cottage: initialled and dated “R H M” 1 7 1 5 (Holden family); House initialled and dated “RH” 1724… Hammer-dressed stone, stone slate roofs, two storeys. A long range with cottage to left. This has two 1st floor windows. Doorway with tie-stone jambs with 2-light flat-faced mullioned window above; tripartite sashed windows with same above; doorway (blocked) with date stone over and a semicircular-arched window (blocked). Coped gable with kneelers and weathervane to left. Large stack to right gable. Linking passage to house, breaking forward, has 3-light windows to each floor. House: 3-room plan with four 1st floor windows. Quoins. Outer bays have mid-C20 canted bay windows with 4-light window above. 2nd bay has altered doorway with date stone over in decorative plaque with single-light window above. 3rd bay has 5-light window to each floor. 1st-floor windows have recessed flat-faced mullions with an inner chamfer. Moulded eaves cornice, coped gables with stacks… Interior: most rooms have richly moulded cornices. Stairhall has closed string staircase with wreathed and ramped handrail, slender turned balusters, 2 to each riser, pair of cast-iron columns the capitals enriched with acanthus decoration. Semicircular-arched doorway with impost, architrave and keystone.’
… and having completed your stroll, you will have earned a bottle or two of Bent’s Ales!

Mandol® (Cefamandole Nafate for Injection, USP) is a semisynthetic broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic for parenteral administration. It is 5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid, 7-[[(formyloxy)phenylacetyl]amino]-3-[[(1-methyl-1 H -tetrazol-5-yl)thio]methyl]-8-oxo-, monosodium salt, [6 R- [6(alpha),7(beta)( R *)]]. Cefamandole has the empirical formula C 19 H 17 N 6 NaO 6 S 2 representing a molecular weight of 512.49.
Mandol also contains 63 mg sodium carbonate/g of cefamandole activity. The total sodium content is approximately 77 mg (3.3 mEq sodium ion) per g of cefamandole activity. After addition of diluent, cefamandole nafate rapidly hydrolyzes to cefamandole, and both compounds have microbiologic activity in vivo. Solutions of Mandol range from light-yellow to amber, depending on concentration and diluent used. The pH of freshly reconstituted solutions usually ranges from 6.0 to 8.5.
After intramuscular administration of a 500-mg dose of cefamandole to normal volunteers, the mean peak serum concentration was 13 µg/mL. After a 1-g dose, the mean peak concentration was 25 µg/mL. These peaks occurred at 30 to 120 minutes. Following intravenous doses of 1, 2, and 3 g, serum concentrations were 139, 240, and 533 mcg/mL respectively at 10 minutes. These concentrations declined to 0.8, 2.2, and 2.9 mcg/mL at 4 hours. Intravenous administration of 4-g doses every 6 hours produced no evidence of accumulation in the serum. The half-life after an intravenous dose is 32 minutes; after intramuscular administration, the half-life is 60 minutes.
Sixty-five percent to 85% of cefamandole is excreted by the kidneys over an 8-hour period, resulting in high urinary concentrations. Following intramuscular doses of 500 mg and 1 g, urinary concentrations averaged 254 and 1,357 mcg/mL respectively. Intravenous doses of 1 and 2 g produced urinary levels averaging 750 and 1,380 mcg/mL respectively. Probenecid slows tubular excretion and doubles the peak serum level and the duration of measurable serum concentrations.
The antibiotic reaches therapeutic levels in pleural and joint fluids and in bile and bone.
Microbiology-- The bactericidal action of cefamandole results from inhibition of cell-wall synthesis. Cephalosporins have in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. Cefamandole is usually active against the following organisms in vitro and in clinical infections:
Staphylococcus aureus, including penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing strains
(beta)-hemolytic and other streptococci (Most strains of enterococci, eg, Enterococcus faecalis [formerly Streptococcus faecalis ], are resistant.)
Enterobacter spp. (Initially susceptible organisms occasionally may become resistant during therapy.)
Providencia rettgeri (formerly Proteus rettgeri )
Morganella morganii (formerly Proteus morganii )
Proteus vulgaris (Some strains of P. vulgaris have been shown by in vitro tests to be resistant to cefamandole and certain other cephalosporins.)
Gram-positive and gram-negative cocci (including Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus spp.)
Gram-positive bacilli (including Clostridium spp.)
Gram-negative bacilli (including Bacteroides and Fusobacterium spp.). Most strains of Bacteroides fragilis are resistant.
Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (formerly Mima and Herellea spp.), and most Serratia strains are resistant to cefamandole and certain other cephalosporins. Cefamandole is resistant to degradation by (beta)-lactamases from certain members of the Enterobacteriaceae
Susceptibility Tests -- Quantitative methods that require measurement of zone diameters give the most precise estimates of antibiotic susceptibility. One such procedure 1 has been recommended for use with disks to test susceptibility to cefamandole. Interpretation involves correlation of the diameters obtained in the disk test with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for cefamandole.
Reports from the laboratory giving results of the standardized single-disk susceptibility test 1 using a 30-mcg cefamandole disk should be interpreted according to the following criteria:
Susceptible organisms produce zones of 18 mm or greater, indicating that the tested organism is likely to respond to therapy.
Organisms of intermediate susceptibility produce zones of 15 to 17 mm, indicating that the tested organism would be susceptible if high dosage is used or if the infection is confined to tissues and fluids (eg, urine) in which high antibiotic levels are attained.
Resistant organisms produce zones of 14 mm or less, indicating that other therapy should be selected.
For gram-positive isolates, the test may be performed with either the cephalosporin-class disk (30 mcg cephalothin) or the cefamandole disk (30 mcg cefamandole), and a zone of 18 mm is indicative of a cefamandole-susceptible organism.
Gram-negative organisms should be tested with the cefamandole disk (using the above criteria), since cefamandole has been shown by in vitro tests to have activity against certain strains of Enterobacteriaceae found resistant when tested with the cephalosporin-class disk. Gram-negative organisms having zones of less than 18 mm around the cephalothin disk are not necessarily of intermediate susceptibility or resistant to cefamandole.
The cefamandole disk should not be used for testing susceptibility to other cephalosporins.
A bacterial isolate may be considered susceptible if the MIC value for cefamandole 2 is not more than 16 mcg/mL. Organisms are considered resistant if the MIC is greater than 32 mcg/mL.
Mandol is indicated for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the diseases listed below:
Lower respiratory infections, including pneumonia, caused by S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, Klebsiella spp., S. aureus (penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing), (beta)-hemolytic streptococci, and P. mirabilis
Urinary tract infections caused by E. coli, Proteus spp. (both indole-negative and indole-positive), Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., group D streptococci (Note: Most enterococci, eg, E. faecalis, are resistant), and S. epidermidis
Peritonitis caused by E. coli and Enterobacter spp.
Septicemia caused by E. coli, S. aureus (penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing), S. pneumoniae, S. pyogenes (group A (beta)-hemolytic streptococci), H. influenzae, and Klebsiella spp.
Skin and skin structure infections caused by S. aureus (penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing), S. pyogenes (group A (beta)-hemolytic streptococci), H. influenzae, E. coli, Enterobacter spp., and P. mirabilis
Bone and joint infections caused by S. aureus (penicillinase- and non-penicillinase-producing)
Clinical microbiologic studies in nongonococcal pelvic inflammatory disease in females, lower respiratory infections, and skin infections frequently reveal the growth of susceptible strains of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Mandol has been used successfully in those infections in which several organisms have been isolated. Most strains of B. fragilis are resistant in vitro; however, infections caused by susceptible strains have been treated successfully.
Specimens for bacteriologic cultures should be obtained in order to isolate and identify causative organisms and to determine their susceptibilities to cefamandole. Therapy may be instituted before results of susceptibility studies are known; however, once these results become available, the antibiotic treatment should be adjusted accordingly.
In certain cases of confirmed or suspected gram-positive or gram-negative sepsis or in patients with other serious infections in which the causative organism has not been identified, Mandol may be used concomitantly with an aminoglycoside ( see Precautions ). The recommended doses of both antibiotics may be given, depending on the severity of the infection and the patient's condition. The renal function of the patient should be carefully monitored, especially if higher dosages of the antibiotics are to be administered.
Antibiotic therapy of (beta)-hemolytic streptococcal infections should continue for at least 10 days.
Preventive Therapy -- The administration of Mandol preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively may reduce the incidence of certain postoperative infections in patients undergoing surgical procedures that are classified as contaminated or potentially contaminated (eg, gastrointestinal surgery, cesarean section, vaginal hysterectomy, or cholecystectomy in high-risk patients such as those with acute cholecystitis, obstructive jaundice, or common-bile-duct stones).
In major surgery in which the risk of postoperative infection is low but serious (cardiovascular surgery, neurosurgery, or prosthetic arthroplasty), Mandol may be effective in preventing such infections.
If signs of infection occur, specimens for culture should be obtained for identification of the causative organism so that appropriate antibiotic therapy may be instituted.
Mandol is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to the cephalosporin group of antibiotics.
BEFORE THERAPY WITH MANDOL IS INSTITUTED, CAREFUL INQUIRY SHOULD BE MADE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE PATIENT HAS HAD PREVIOUS HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS TO CEPHALOSPORINS, PENICILLINS, OR OTHER DRUGS. THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE GIVEN CAUTIOUSLY TO PENICILLIN-SENSITIVE PATIENTS. ANTIBIOTICS SHOULD BE ADMINISTERED WITH CAUTION TO ANY PATIENT WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED SOME FORM OF ALLERGY, PARTICULARLY TO DRUGS. SERIOUS ACUTE HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS MAY REQUIRE EPINEPHRINE AND OTHER EMERGENCY MEASURES.
In neonates, accumulation of other cephalosporin-class antibiotics (with resulting prolongation of drug half-life) has been reported.
Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with virtually all broad-spectrum antibiotics (including macrolides, semisynthetic penicillins, and cephalosporins); therefore, it is important to consider its diagnosis in patients who develop diarrhea in association with the use of antibiotics. Such colitis may range in severity from mild to life threatening.
Treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia. Studies indicate that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is a primary cause of antibiotic-associated colitis.
Mild cases of pseudomembranous colitis usually respond to drug discontinuance alone. In moderate to severe cases, management should include sigmoidoscopy, appropriate bacteriologic studies, and fluid, electrolyte, and protein supplementation. When the colitis does not improve after the drug has been discontinued, or when it is severe, oral vancomycin is the drug of choice for antibiotic-associated pseudomembranous colitis produced by C. difficile. Other causes of colitis should be ruled out.
General -- Although Mandol rarely produces alteration in kidney function, evaluation of renal status is recommended, especially in seriously ill patients receiving maximum doses.
Prolonged use of Mandol may result in the overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms. Careful observation of the patient is essential. If superinfection occurs during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken.
Nephrotoxicity has been reported following concomitant administration of aminoglycoside antibiotics and cephalosporins.
A false-positive reaction for glucose in the urine may occur with Benedict' or Fehling' solution or with Clinitest® tablets. There may be a false-positive test for proteinuria with acid and denaturization-precipitation tests.
As with other broad-spectrum antibiotics, hypoprothrombinemia, with or without bleeding, has been reported rarely, but it has been promptly reversed by administration of vitamin K. Such episodes usually have occurred in elderly, debilitated, or otherwise compromised patients with deficient stores of vitamin K. Treatment of such individuals with antibiotics possessing significant gram-negative and/or anaerobic activity is thought to alter the number and/or type of intestinal bacterial flora, with consequent reduction in synthesis of vitamin K. Prophylactic administration of vitamin K may be indicated in such patients, especially when intestinal sterilization and surgical procedures are performed.
In a few patients receiving Mandol, nausea, vomiting, and vasomotor instability with hypotension and peripheral vasodilatation occurred following the ingestion of ethanol.
Cefamandole inhibits the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in laboratory animals. This causes accumulation of acetaldehyde when ethanol is administered concomitantly.
Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be prescribed with caution in individuals with a history of gastrointestinal disease, particularly colitis.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility --Certain (beta)-lactam antibiotics containing the N-methylthiotetrazole side chain have been reported to cause delayed maturity of the testicular germinal epithelium when given to neonatal rats during initial spermatogenic development (6 to 36 days of age). In animals that were treated from 6 to 36 days of age with 1,000 mg/kg/day of cefamandole (approximately 5 times the maximum clinical dose), the delayed maturity was pronounced and was associated with decreased testicular weights and a reduced number of germinal cells in the leading waves of spermatogenic development. The effect was slight in rats given 50 or 100 mg/kg/day. Some animals that were given 1,000 mg/kg/day during days 6 to 36 were infertile after becoming sexually mature. No adverse effects have been observed in rats exposed in utero, in neonatal rats (4 days of age or younger) treated prior to the initiation of spermatogenesis, or in older rats (more than 36 days of age) after exposure for up to 6 months. The significance to humans of these findings in rats is unknown because of differences in the time of initiation of spermatogenesis, rate of spermatogenic development, and duration of puberty.
Usage in Pregnancy --Pregnancy Category B -- Reproduction studies have been performed in rats given doses of 500 or 1,000 mg/kg/day and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Mandol. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers -- Caution should be exercised when Mandol is administered to a nursing woman.
Usage in Infants-- Mandol has been effectively used in this age group, but all laboratory parameters have not been extensively studied in infants between 1 and 6 months of age; safety of this product has not been established in premature infants and term neonates under 1 month of age. Therefore, if Mandol is administered to infants, the physician should determine whether the potential benefits outweigh the possible risks involved.
Gastrointestinal -- Symptoms of pseudomembranous colitis may appear either during or after antibiotic treatment. Nausea and vomiting have been reported rarely. As with some penicillins and some other cephalosporins, transient hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice have been reported rarely.
Hypersensitivity -- Anaphylaxis, maculopapular rash, urticaria, eosinophilia, and drug fever have been reported. These reactions are more likely to occur in patients with a history of allergy, particularly to penicillin.
Blood -- Thrombocytopenia has been reported rarely. Neutropenia has been reported, especially in long courses of treatment. Some individuals have developed positive direct Coombs' tests during treatment with the cephalosporin antibiotics.
Liver -- Transient rise in SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase levels has been noted.
Kidney -- Decreased creatinine clearance has been reported in patients with prior renal impairment. As with some other cephalosporins, transitory elevations of BUN have occasionally been observed with Mandol; their frequency increases in patients over 50 years of age. In some of these cases, there was also a mild increase in serum creatinine.
Local Reactions -- Pain on intramuscular injection is infrequent. Thrombophlebitis occurs rarely.
The administration of inappropriately large doses of parenteral cephalosporins may cause seizures, particularly in patients with renal impairment. Dosage reduction is necessary when renal function is impaired ( see Dosage and Administration ). If seizures occur, the drug should be promptly discontinued; anticonvulsant therapy may be administered if clinically indicated. Hemodialysis may be considered in cases of overwhelming overdosage.
Dosage--Adults: The usual dosage range for cefamandole is 500 mg to 1 g every 4 to 8 hours.
In infections of skin structures and in uncomplicated pneumonia, a dosage of 500 mg every 6 hours is adequate.
In uncomplicated urinary tract infections, a dosage of 500 mg every 8 hours is sufficient. In more serious urinary tract infections, a dosage of 1 g every 8 hours may be needed.
In severe infections, 1-g doses may be given at 4 to 6-hour intervals.
In life-threatening infections or infections due to less susceptible organisms, doses up to 2 g every 4 hours (ie, 12 g/day) may be needed.
Infants and Children: Administration of 50 to 100 mg/kg/ day in equally divided doses every 4 to 8 hours has been effective for most infections susceptible to Mandol. This may be increased to a total daily dose of 150 mg/kg (not to exceed the maximum adult dose) for severe infections. ( See recommendations regarding this age group in and Precautions.)
Note: As with antibiotic therapy in general, administration of Mandol should be continued for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours after the patient becomes asymptomatic or after evidence of bacterial eradication has been obtained; a minimum of 10 days of treatment is recommended in infections caused by group A (beta)-hemolytic streptococci in order to guard against the risk of rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis; frequent bacteriologic and clinical appraisal is necessary during therapy of chronic urinary tract infection and may be required for several months after therapy has been completed; persistent infections may require treatment for several weeks; and doses smaller than those indicated above should not be used.
For perioperative use of Mandol, the following dosages are recommended:
Adults -- 1 or 2 g intravenously or intramuscularly 1 / 2 to 1 hour prior to the surgical incision followed by 1 or 2 g every 6 hours for 24 to 48 hours.
Pediatric Patients (3 months of age and older) -- 50 to 100 mg/kg/day in equally divided doses by the routes and schedule designated above.
Note: In patients undergoing prosthetic arthroplasty, administration is recommended for as long as 72 hours.
In patients undergoing cesarean section, the initial dose may be administered just prior to surgery or immediately after the cord has been clamped.
Impaired Renal Function -- When renal function is impaired, a reduced dosage must be employed and the serum levels closely monitored. After an initial dose of 1 to 2 g (depending on the severity of infection), a maintenance dosage schedule should be followed (see chart). Continued dosage should be determined by degree of renal impairment, severity of infection, and susceptibility of the causative organism.
When only serum creatinine is available, the following formula (based on sex, weight, and age of the patient) may be used to convert this value into creatinine clearance. The serum creatinine should represent a steady state of renal function.
Weight (kg) × (140 - age)
72 × serum creatinine
Females: 0.9 × above value
Modes of Administration -- Mandol may be given intravenously or by deep intramuscular injection into a large muscle mass (such as the gluteus or lateral part of the thigh) to minimize pain.
Intramuscular Administration -- Each g of Mandol should be diluted with 3 mL of 1 of the following diluents: Sterile Water for Injection, Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, or Bacteriostatic Sodium Chloride Injection. Shake well until dissolved.
Intravenous Administration -- The intravenous route may be preferable for patients with bacterial septicemia, localized parenchymal abscesses (such as intra-abdominal abscess), peritonitis, or other severe or life-threatening infections when they may be poor risks because of lowered resistance. In those with normal renal function, the intravenous dosage for such infections is 3 to 12 g of Mandol daily. In conditions such as bacterial septicemia, 6 to 12 g/day may be given initially by the intravenous route for several days, and dosage may then be gradually reduced according to clinical response and laboratory findings.
If combination therapy with Mandol and an aminoglycoside is indicated, each of these antibiotics should be administered in different sites. Do not mix an aminoglycoside with Mandol in the same intravenous fluid container.
A SOLUTION OF 1 G OF MANDOL IN 22 ML OF STERILE WATER FOR INJECTION IS ISOTONIC.
The choice of saline, dextrose, or electrolyte solution and the volume to be employed are dictated by fluid and electrolyte management.
For direct intermittent intravenous administration, each g of cefamandole should be reconstituted with 10 mL of Sterile Water for Injection, 5% Dextrose Injection, or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection. Slowly inject the solution into the vein over a period of 3 to 5 minutes, or give it through the tubing of an administration set while the patient is also receiving 1 of the following intravenous fluids:
0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose Injection; 10% Dextrose Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.2% Sodium Chloride Injection; or Sodium Lactate Injection (M/6).
Intermittent intravenous infusion with a Y-type administration set or volume control set can also be accomplished while any of the above-mentioned intravenous fluids are being infused. However, during infusion of the solution containing Mandol, it is desirable to discontinue the other solution. When this technique is employed, careful attention should be paid to the volume of the solution containing Mandol so that the calculated dose will be infused. If Sterile Water for Injection is used as the diluent, reconstitute with approximately 20 mL/g to avoid a hypotonic solution.
For continuous intravenous infusion, each g of cefamandole should be diluted with 10 mL of Sterile Water for Injection. An appropriate quantity of the resulting solution may be added to an IV bottle containing 1 of the following fluids: 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose Injection; 10% Dextrose Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection; 5% Dextrose and 0.2% Sodium Chloride Injection; or Sodium Lactate Injection (M/6).
Reconstituted Mandol is stable for 24 hours at room temperature (25°C) and for 96 hours if stored under refrigeration (5°C). During storage at room temperature, carbon dioxide develops inside the vial after reconstitution. This pressure may be dissipated prior to withdrawal of the vial contents, or it may be used to aid withdrawal if the vial is inverted over the syringe needle and the contents are allowed to flow into the syringe.
Solutions of Mandol in Sterile Water for Injection, 5% Dextrose Injection, or 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection that are frozen immediately after reconstitution in the conventional vials in which the drugs are supplied are stable for 6 months when stored at -20°C. If the product is warmed (to a maximum of 37°C), care should be taken to avoid heating it after the thawing is complete. Once thawed, the solution should not be refrozen.
Vials (Dry Powder):
1 g. * 10-mL size (No. 7061)--(Traypak ** of 25) NDC 0002-7061-25
2 g, * 20-mL size (No. 7064)--(Traypak of 10) NDC 0002-7064-10
*Equivalent to cefamandole activity.
** Traypak TM (multivial carton, Lilly).

Question: What do you call a balding, overweight bully who attacks black women? Answer: Piers Morgan. Following his vicious attacks on Meghan Markle and Naomi Osaka, Morgan has decided to lay into the gymnast Simone Biles who has withdrawn from her Olympic final to focus on her mental health. Here is Morgan’s tweet:
“I’m writing a column about Simone Biles. Brace yourself, weak woke Twitter – you’re not going to like it.”
Let’s begin by looking at the Oxford Dictionary definition of ‘woke’: “Well-informed, up-to-date. Alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice”. I’m happy to align my thoughts and very being with that definition. So, being ‘woke’ is clearly a good thing. But wait: Morgan describes those of us who are ‘woke’, that is well-informed, up-to-date. Alert to social discrimination and injustice’ as weak. How so?
Old white men have weaponised the term, employing it as a sort of updated version of politically correct, itself an utterly meaningless form of words. Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of the remnants of the 1960s popular beat combo outfit The Who attacked “woke culture” because he is “living in fear” that he will upset someone. Noel Gallagher described Prince Harry, who served two terms in Afghannistan, as “a fucking woke snowflake” for “dissing his family”, something Gallagher has never done, particularly with regard to his brother Liam. The former actor and terrible singer Laurence ‘Loozza’ Fox uses the term on a nearly hourly basis and we all know about Piers Morgan. These unpleasant mainly older white men have tried to alter the meaning of woke. All they have done is to show how ill-informed, backward and ignorant they all are to racial or social discrimination and injustice.
And what a cheek Morgan has. When confronted with his own bigotry by the GMB weather presenter, the scourge of wokeness suckily waddled off the set. Piers Morgan: the biggest snowflake of them all.
Morgan declares that “weak woke Twitter” won’t like his column in the Mail about Simone Biles. Well, that’s probably true. Whatever you think about Morgan, love him or hate him, you have to admit he is not the world’s most gifted writer. He chooses what he considers to be an easy, weak, woke target and punches angrily down, the hallmark of bullies everywhere. And make what you will of Morgan’s habitual attacks of black women. Is it purely coincidence, or do his prejudices run deeper?
When considering attacks on our ‘woke’ culture, I always think first about the person who is angered by it and why. Why is Daltrey “living in fear”? Is he worried he might say something horrendously racist, sexist, homophobic or just plain bigoted which will upset someone? In which case, what does that say about him and his belief system? I always find that people who make racist, sexist, homophobic and just plain bigoted comments are, generally speaking, racist, sexist, homophobic bigots.
In any event, if Morgan thinks us woke snowflakes are not going to like his forthcoming Hate Mail column about Simone Biles, he is probably right but only in the sense that many of us will be saying something along the lines of, “Oh, here we go again: that twat Morgan is trying to be controversial again to shore up his support with the noisy, angry minority who revel in Britain’s culture wars, which are being driven by populist politicians and third rate journalists.”
I don’t think ‘wokeness’ in the traditional sense is a bad thing. On the contrary, I support the definition provided by the comedian Mitch Benn, who says this: “Wokeness is largely a word for being a good person used dismissively by bad people because good people make bad people uncomfortable.”
No good person would attack someone for suffering from cancer so why should they attack someone else suffering from mental health issues? That, to me, tells you all you need to know about Morgan and the phoney culture wars he happily embraces. He makes a good living out of hate. In many ways, I pity him for that. I’d rather live my far more modest life with love and hope.

What if you hesitated to tell someone something and never saw them again?
“I appreciate you.” “I love you.” “I’m proud of you.”
Is it really that difficult to say?
We assume people know because we told them 3 months ago. Some things are worth saying often if they’re true.

A Certified Cosmetic Dentist
We all hope that our doctor is a qualified and outstanding practitioner. However, many of us couldn’t point out an excellent dentist in a lineup. It’s more than a degree that makes a doctor – it’s experience and a commitment to patients and knowledge. Being a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® (AACD) signifies a dentist’s dedication and high standard of performance that many people seek.
What Is the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry®?
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® was founded in 1984 by 60 dentists whose goal was to create an organization dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry. The AACD now includes over 6,000 dental professionals, technicians, educators, and researchers from over 70 countries worldwide. The AACD provides a platform for communication and education in the cosmetic dentistry community on a global scale.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® strives to promote education for dental professionals long after they receive their degree. Any dentist that is accredited or a Fellow of the AACD has made a commitment to constantly evolve, learn, and provide outstanding patient care. The AACD desires to make the life-changing benefits of cosmetic dentistry available to more people each year. To become accredited, one must pass a written and oral exam as well as submit their own clinical cases for review. The AACD holds annual, rigorous Fellowship programs.
Dr. Hawary’s Commitment
Dr. Hawary is the 60th dentist worldwide to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry®, and in 2013 he became the first and only Fellow in Irvine, CA. Being a Fellow of the AACD means being a member of a group of people that are dedicated to working together as peers in the pursuit of knowledge and the advancement of the dental industry. He has also won multiple gold medals from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® for his entries in the annual Smile Gallery Competition.
Becoming a Fellow of the AACD is completely voluntary, but Dr. Hawary felt it necessary to improve his own knowledge and skill set. This is what sets him apart from other cosmetic dentists – his constant pursuit of being better than the best. He takes his education and applies it at his Irvine practice, The Art of Dentistry Institute. Dr. Hawary’s number one priority is to always provide the most advanced and quality cosmetic treatments for his patients.
Schedule your consultation with an award-winning American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry® Fellow today. Dr. Hawary is dedicated to providing excellent patient care, and his friendly staff is available to answer your questions and concerns.

Flight simulation is the best way to practice and maintain flying skills from home and away from your aircraft. To help you build and maintain your proficiency from home, we gathered a few tips to keep your training focused and your scenarios realistic with a flight simulator.
Have a Goal for Every Flight
If too much of your time spent in your simulator is aimlessly flying around, you are more likely to develop bad habits in the cockpit. To develop and maintain proficiency, you should have a goal in mind each time you fire up your simulator.
Here are some ideas:
- Plan a route and scenario for your session. Pre-plan your flight and get familiar with your destination. Familiarization will put you in the right frame of mind for a successful experience.
- Take the time to learn a new avionics configuration. A flight simulator is an ideal tool to learn new features.
- Configure maneuvers and practice getting in and out of them, without the distractions of a real airplane.
Be Realistic With Weather and Failure Settings
Training for unexpected weather and emergency situations is one of the greatest benefits you can get with a flight simulator. Creating the most realistic weather and emergency situations is important, however, if you want to improve your overall proficiency.
Focus on training for isolated emergencies. Adding several emergencies to one flight can only make the training event unrealistic and sometimes inescapable. Choosing weather settings that make sense for your training event is important. The goal is to train for emergencies that make you a more proficient pilot.
Use Your Checklists
Running your checklists as you normally would help keep your mind in the cockpit and on the task at hand. Checklists also can help you avoid bad flying habits while you are away from the aircraft.
Use Pause to Your Advantage
If you are a training pilot, the pause button can be very useful if you find yourself in a situation that you need to think through. As a new instrument pilot, pausing the simulator before you get to a final approach fix gives you valuable time to brief and execute it. Similar to if you are starting to train an emergency, using the pause button can help make sure you are using the correct flow. Eventually, of course, the goal is to develop muscle memory.
It takes efforts to keep proficient, but using flight simulation is a fun and effective way to keep yourself sharp. Remember it’s not a game, habits on a flight simulator tend to become habits in the airplane.

The cardiovascular pharmacology of snake venoms from Papua New Guinea and Australia
Associate Professor Christine Wright
Papua New Guinean (PNG) and Australian snakes produce a wide range of toxins that affect different organ systems. Besides the neurological effects and toxic potential on various muscles and the blood-clotting cascade, snake venoms are also known to affect the cardiovascular system. Patients bitten by PNG snakes occasionally collapse early and show cardiac rhythmic disturbances that may be due to direct cardiotoxic effects. In addition, other threatening cardiovascular events such as extreme lowering or raising of heart rate or blood pressure have been observed after PNG snake bites, underlining the cardiotoxic potential of PNG snake venoms. Australian brownsnake envenomations, in particular by the Eastern brownsnake, Pseudonaja textilis, have also been associated with cardiovascular collapse which is poorly understood.
We are especially interested in the cardiovascular pharmacology of Papuan blacksnake (Pseudechis papuanus), coastal taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus) and PNG small-eyed snake (Micropechis ikaheka) venoms, as well as in Australian brownsnake (Pseudonaja spp.) venoms. Our research aims to elucidate the mechanism(s) of cardiotoxicity and adverse cardiovascular sequelae using isolated cardiovascular tissues in vitro and integrated haemodynamic preparations in vivo. The efficacy of specific antivenoms will be assessed against cardiovascular responses to the snake venoms under investigation. In doing so, further insights into the action of these venoms will be gleaned, providing avenues for novel drug discovery, as well as improvement in the treatment of envenomation. This research is in collaboration with the Australian Venom Research Unit.

My Rating ~ Three and a half Stars
RELEASE DATE: 7 January 2019
Publisher: Hachette Australia
Welcome to QualityLand, the best country on Earth. Here, a universal ranking system determines the social advantages and career opportunities of every member of society. An automated matchmaking service knows the best partners for everyone and helps with the break up when your ideal match (frequently) changes. And the foolproof algorithms of the biggest, most successful company in the world, TheShop, knows what you want before you do and conveniently deliver to your doorstep before you even order it.
In QualityCity, Peter Jobless is a machine scrapper who can’t quite bring himself to destroy the imperfect machines sent his way, and has become the unwitting leader of a band of robotic misfits hidden in his home and workplace. One day, Peter receives a product from TheShop he absolutely, positively knows he does not want, and which he decides, at great personal cost, to return. The only problem: doing so means proving the perfect algorithm of TheShop wrong, calling into question the very foundations of QualityLand itself.
Thank you so much to Hachette Australia for providing me with a copy of Qualityland in exchange for an honest review!
In Qualityland, your social rank determines everything you can and can’t have. From your job, to your relationship, to every product available. The algorithm is so clever, it even knows all your preferences and exactly what you need. Probably. Because machines don’t make mistakes. Peter Jobless is absolutely certain his profile at TheShop is wrong. It has delivered him something he did not want and he’s going to return it. Which seems like an easy feat, but, the algorithm does not like to be wrong. It is never wrong. And Peter finds himself drawn into a battle to prove that Qualiityland does not have the perfect system everyone thinks it does.
The first thing I think you need to know about Qualityland is that it is satire. Very much, tongue in cheek, satire. Because without that knowledge, many parts of it can come across as a bit offensive towards all sorts of groups. Even though I was aware it was satire, I still felt a little uncomfortable reading some of those parts, which gave me the impression that it was satire that just missed the mark a little in parts.
I am a big fan of humorous fantasy, in fact it is one of my absolute favourite genres, do I did find myself comparing this book to some of my favourite authors that write under this banner. It could just be a personal preference, but I much prefer my comedic fantasy (and all comedy consumption) to be of the self depreciating type – to poke fun at the narrator themselves, not at other people around them. Aside from this, I really did enjoy the story. I’m loving all the books focusing around the world being controlled by a rating system – and the downfall of that flawed system, at the moment. There were AI machines with hilarious personality issues and most of the characters were just a lot of fun. The interspersed news stories (and subsequent comments under them) were such a great addition to the book, as were the advertisements from TheShop. Qualityland is quite clever and if you’re a fan of comedic fantasy (or have been curious to read one) put this one on your TBR list!

The partnership will increase the total number of Ozon pickup points in the country by 20-fold, with consumers now able to pick up orders from 2,000 post offices around the country.
By the end of the summer, Ozon plans to expand its collaboration with Kazpost, making it possible to deliver parcels to every post office in the country and using the national operator’s courier service for delivery.
Prior to the Kazpost agreement, Kazakhstan-based shoppers could pick up orders at AlemTAT pickup points as well as receiving them through private courier services.
Improved Delivery Services
“Our partnership with Kazpost will enable us to improve delivery terms for customers across the country in short order," commented Yegor Isaev, Head of International Business Development at Ozon. "Now customers from the most remote regions in the country can receive orders from Ozon within walking distance from their home.
"Further development of logistics will enable us to drastically reduce the time needed to deliver millions of Ozon marketplace items to Kazakhstan."
Delivery to Kazpost post offices is free, and the minimum order for customers from Kazakhstan is about KZT 5,800 (€11.60). Customers can choose the most convenient Kazpost location to them when placing an order through Ozon's website or app.
The average delivery time to post offices in the central regions of Kazakhstan is five days, the group said. Ozon’s primary fulfilment centre for Kazakhstan is located in Yekaterinburg, east of the Urals.
Changing Consumer Preferences
“We are taking into account how the world is changing as well as trends and customer preferences," said Kanat Alpysbayev, chairman of the management board at Kazpost. "E-commerce and online services in particular have grown exponentially.
"Kazpost, with its expansive infrastructure and well-built supply chains, is developing rapidly in this direction. In order to develop e-commerce and create convenient options for our customers, we are partnering with domestic and foreign e-commerce platforms."
In May, Ozon reported a 135% jump in orders in the first quarter of its financial year.

The charter fee covers the hire of the vessel, crew and mooring. Fuel is chargeable based on hours of actual running time and must be paid in full before leaving the vessel, except for certain vessels where fuel is included.
Upon signing, a 50% deposit is required to confirm the booking, the balance due before departure. If the client cancels before the charter, the deposit is forfeit. If we are able to re-let the yacht, 50% will be refunded. APA of 30% is to be paid in cleared funds before departure for large vessels or multi day charters, from which consumables, fuel and berthing outside the home port will be paid. All deductions from this allowance will be purchased at reasonable cost, and covered by receipts. The balance will be repaid at the end of the charter. If the APA is used before the end of the charter, an additional amount will be requested before more supplies can be purchased.
In the event of bad weather, the decision whether to continue with the charter is that of the Captain. Short showers, or cloud do nor constitute a reason for cancellation. High winds and consistent rain would normally be grounds for cancellation. If a cancellation is callled for by the captain, full refund will be made to the client if an alternative date cannot be arranged to the satisfaction of the client. Similarly, in the event of mechanical failure, an alternative vessel will be sought, and if this is not possible to the satisfaction of the client, a full refund will be made.

First of all, thanks for taking the time to visit my site and read a bit about me. My name is Doug and I like to race Karts. I also have a family, dog, a day job, bills and a mortgage so I don’t get to race as often as I would like.
Today, I’m in my early forties. In my late twenties I was a member of Manchester & Buxton Kart Club and raced Senior TKM at Three Sisters, PFI, Clay Pigeon and Kimbolton. I was’t particularly quick but I enjoyed it immensely.
During the week, I’m a Agile Delivery Manager for an online fashion company. I work with 3 engineering teams to build high quality, working software to keep the site running. My engineering teams use the Agile Manifesto and 12 Agile Principles to help them build software. This is supplemented by using the Scrum framework.
I can ( and will) talk about Scrum in a separate post but I’ll outline the fundamentals here as they form the cornerstone of what I want this site and my racing to be about.
Scrum is an empirical framework, meaning that it uses data verifiable by observation or experience to guide us. It stands on 3 pillars of equal importantance – transparency, inspection and adapation. My data, experience and observations will form the basis of what I examine to make adapt my driving and racing to improve my results. Throughout all of this I’ll be clear and transparent about what I’m doing and why.

Build your confidence in clinical dietetics.
Courses that empower current and future dietitians.
If you are a nutrition student looking to build your clinical knowledge before starting a dietetic internship, an intern embarking on your first clinical rotation, a graduate studying for the credentialing exam, an entry-level dietitian seeking to gain clinical skills, or any nutrition professional making the jump into the clinical world, you’re in the right place.
Join our tribe of happy and empowered students across the U.S. and beyond. The Nutrition Support Skills course has helped current and future dietitians thrive in Denver CO, Salem MA, Washington D.C., Sacramento CA, Seattle WA, Los Angeles CA, Philadelphia PA, El Paso TX, New York City, Ontario Canada, and Abu Dhabi.
Clinical preceptors say 50% of their students are under-prepared.
don't be one of them.
Nutrition Support Competency Questions
Does every diabetic patient need a diabetic formula? What types of renal formulas are available? What is a peptide-based formula? What are the pros and cons of concentrated formulas? These and many more questions are answered in the Nutrition Support Skills course. Best of all, I break down enteral nutrition calculations into simple, straightforward lessons so even if you’re not a math whiz, you will quickly become proficient at busting out a tube feeding order.
If the gut works, use it. Sounds simple enough, but indications and contraindications for parenteral nutrition are often confusing. I dedicate several modules of the Nutrition Support Skills course to parenteral nutrition and delve into all the details of PPN, TPN and intravenous access.
This is a loaded question. The short answer is maybe and the long answer is seriously complicated. I explain it all in the Nutrition Support Skills course.
It’s no surprise that fiber is my favorite topic. This functional little nutrient (or is fiber a non-nutrient?) is so crucial, but can be dangerous for some patients at some points in critical illness. A thorough understanding of the benefits of fiber and the situations where we need to use caution is so important for the nutrition professional.

Sunday August 30th
This coming Sunday – August 30th we invite you to join with us for the commemoration of the Laying of the Foundation Stone of Holy Trinity in this our 175th year. Solemn Mass with Procession at 9:30am followed by a Parish Picnic on the Rectory lawn from 12-30pm. The Rectory is at 18 Winterstoke Way. CT118AG
Please refer to the simple Mass sheet on your pew for the Order of Mass. After Mass, please take all papers with you. We are also required by Government to compile a list of names and contact details for Track and Trace. This information will be held for 21 days then destroyed.
Fr Paul extends his sincere thanks to Fr Michael Morris for covering the Sunday and Wednesday Mass for the last two weeks. Also, thanks to the new Churchwardens Mary and Clive for taking great care of the Church and cleaning over the last two weeks as well preparation for all worship. But also thank you to you all for supporting our parish and it’s active ministry as servers, readers and choir/musicians and you the congregation, week by week.
Today at our Parish Mass we recall the Laying of the Foundation Stone of our Parish Church on the 29th August 1844. We rejoice and give thanks for 175 years of our Church and its Christian witness to this community.
Everyone is invited after Mass to a Parish Picnic on the Rectory lawn from 12:30pm onwards. Social distancing will be observed, and due to current regulations, you will need to bring your own food. A folding chair or picnic blanket might be helpful! (Weather permitting) The Church will provide wine and soft drinks.
ORGAN APPEAL Since we launched the organ appeal only two weeks ago, we now have a total of £16,480 given towards our target to cover all major works. This amount with Gift Aid gives us £19,708. Fr Paul, Churchwardens and PCC would like to express our sincere thanks to you all for the amazing generosity you have shown in such a short time. There is still time for you to purchase an organ stop at £150 each, a coupler at £50 or a key at £20? See the large board with full details.
The Sacrament of Confirmation – September 20th. There will be a special Mass with Confirmation on Sunday September 20th at 4:00pm. This liturgy will replace the normal 9:30am Mass that day. We welcome our very own Bishop Norman Banks as the Confirming Bishop. Please pray for Rebecca, Lynette and Dave who are to be Confirmed. Please support this special event if you can.
As from September 1st our normal pattern of weekday Masses will resume.
Tuesday Mass at 9:30am. Wednesday Mass at 6:00pm. Friday Mass at 12 Noon.
Ride and Stride – 12th September 2020. We are looking for volunteers to open our Church on this Saturday from 10:00am until 5:00pm or to take your bicycle and ride the Churches of Thanet and beyond to raise urgently needed money to save our historic Kent Churches, including our own building. See sign-up sheet in vestibule. Paula Tibbert will be taking part, so please try to sponsor her if you can.
Holy Trinity Church, located on the East Cliff of the town is very special to those of us who worship regularly within its sacred walls. Today – August 30th we recall the day when the foundation stone was laid on 29 August 1844. The architect was Mr Everard Henley and the builder was Mr W. E Smith. The church cost £3,000 to construct on land presented by Augusta Emma d’Este (later Lady Truro). I must admit to being an avid lover of English Churches, and I quote below the Introduction by Sir John Betjeman to the Collins Guide to English Parish Churches.
“The Parish Churches of England are even more varied than the landscape. The tall town church, smelling of furniture polish and hot-water pipes, a shadow of the medieval marvel it once was, so assiduously have Victorian and even later restorers renewed everything old; the little weather-beaten hamlet church standing in a farmyard down a narrow lane, bat-droppings over the pews and one service a month; the church of a once prosperous village, a relic of the 15th-century wool trade, whose soaring splendour of stone and glass subsequent generations have had neither the energy nor the money to destroy; the suburban church with Northamptonshire-style steeple rising unexpectedly above slate roofs of London and calling with mid-Victorian bells to the ghosts on the edge of the industrial estate; the High, the Low, the Central churches, the alive and the dead ones, the churches that are easy to pray in and those that are not, the churches whose architecture brings you to your knees, the churches whose decorations affront the sight – all these come within the wide embrace of our Anglican Church, whose arms extend beyond the seas to many fabrics more.
From the first wooden church put up in a forest clearing or stone cell on windy moor to the newest social hall, with sanctuary and altar partitioned off, built on the latest industrial estate, our churches have existed chiefly for the celebration of what some call the Mass, or the Eucharist and others call Holy Communion or the Lord’s Supper.
Give thanks today for our Parish Church of the Most Holy Trinity and all that stems from it in terms of our spiritual life and worship. Pray with thankful hears for the past 175 years of our history, and dare to ask God for his blessing on what comes next for us in this present time. Fr Paul

The court of New York’s decision that ‘the sexual assault lawsuit against the Prince will continue’ is a devastating blow for Prince Andrew and the Royal family. If Prince Andrew fails to win an appeal against verdict, he will have to testify in a sex assault case. He will have to undergo cross-examination on areas of his personal life in order to clear his reputation.
The Duke of York’s reputation has harmed after pictured with Jeffrey Epstein in New York’s Central Park in 2010. In 2011, an image of Virginia Roberts with Andrew’s arm around her waist further tarnished his character.
According to Roberts, she had forced to have sex with the prince at Epstein’s New York house in 2015. Despite his impassioned denials, Andrew’s efforts to defend the accusations and avoid a legal battle have all failed.
Whether the Royals win or lose, this will go down in history as a watershed moment. To avoid this difficult situation, a settlement may be reach, but the international momentum of this issue makes it doubtful.
When it comes to the Queen’s support, the only formal evidence is her agreement to his stepping aside from his royal duty. Andrew’s mother still sees him on daily basis at Windsor Castle, so the personal relationship is definitely still in place.
In light of the harm being done by sexual assault case againt Prince Andrew to the monarchy, the Queen, Charles, and William may have to take action before the situation worsens. Perhaps Prince will step down from his role as a working royal and give up military postings and patronages.

India has informed a tribunal the neighborhood auditing affiliate of global accounting organization Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu is misreading a key authorities regulation because the company seeks to avoid a five-12 months ban on new commercial enterprise, according to criminal documents reviewed via Reuters on Sunday.
Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP is contesting the government’s call for the ban at the auditor for its alleged involvement in economic fraud.
The authorities have stated it detected numerous violations of auditing requirements through Deloitte and a KPMG associate even as investigating fraud at IFIN, a unit of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services, whose debt defaults remaining 12 months brought on fears of financial contagion. Both auditors deny wrongdoing.
Deloitte’s filing showed it remaining month argued the government case has to be disregarded as it got here after the auditor’s 10-yr stint at IFIN ended. The ultimate audit it did turn into for the financial yr to March 2018.
The alleged fraud started to be exposed closing autumn, and Deloitte stated the law best allowed this kind of ban to being imposed if the auditor turned into actively auditing the organization at the time and did not allow the government to keep in mind the firm’s work over previous years.
India’s Ministry of Corporate Affairs has countered, pronouncing the regulation can’t be studied in any such “slim and pedantic way,” in step with its June 28 tribunal filing, which has been reviewed with Reuters’ aid is not public.
“A fraud that continues till date as a consequence of errant beyond auditor … Can certainly be included” underneath Indian law provisions, the authorities stated in its 13-web page filing, adding Deloitte become misreading and incorrectly interpreting the regulation.
The law becomes meant to “weed out an errant auditor from practicing, so that company democracy, transparency, and the economy of the united states of America aren’t always destabilizing,” it delivered.
The case will next be heard on Monday at the National Company Law Tribunal in Mumbai.
A spokesman for Deloitte advised Reuters on Sunday it had been counseled the government’s case was “no longer maintainable,” declining to remark further. It has previously said “it has been thorough and diligent” in its responsibilities as an auditor.
India detected auditing screw-ups as part of its huge-ranging probe into alleged fraud and mismanagement at IFIN, which has additionally been investigated via several other corporations, including the Serious Fraud Investigation Office and the vital bank.
The auditing firms gave smooth audit reviews and “miserably did not fulfill the duty entrusted to them,” the government has alleged, announcing the fraud at IFIN become “nothing short of a prepared crime, actively aided and abetted by way of the statutory auditors.”
In its filing, the authorities also said that if Deloitte’s interpretation of the regulation became customary, it’d imply any auditor who commits fraud but resigns earlier than felony court cases are initiated against it can’t be banned within u. S.
The KPMG affiliate accused within the case, BSR & Associates, has also denied the allegations and said it performed IFIN’s audit following the applicable auditing requirements and legal framework. BSR audited IFIN and Deloitte within the 12 months to March 2018 and then turned into the sole auditor for the 2018-19 12 months. It resigned days after the authorities filed the tribunal case closing month.
Whichever way the Indian tribunal policies, the authorities’ allegations have already cast a shadow on local operations of large overseas auditors, who audit most of the overseas businesses in India, in addition to big domestic corporations.
“We are already seeing evidence of a number of our global customers being spooked with the aid of this and the quantity of the punishment being sought,” said a senior associate with a worldwide audit firm.

Having a six-pack is more than just having a great body – it’s about achieving your goals and proving to yourself that you can do it. It’s not as hard as you think, either. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort, and make some changes to your diet and exercise routine, you’ll find that those abs will be on their way. What kind of changes do you need to make? Actually, it’s all about what you eat rather than how many crunches you do — which we’ll get into below. Here are tips for eating healthy on the keto diet so that you can start working on those six-pack abs!.
Table of Content
Best Tips for Getting A Six Pack on Keto
It’s not a secret that the number of crunches you do in a day has nothing to do with how many six-pack abs you have. In fact, the only thing that matters when it comes to getting six-pack abs is what you eat. This article will guide you on your keto nutrition while you are building your rock-hard six-pack abs.
You might not know this, but six-pack abs are more than just the result of doing enough crunches. Your diet is what will help you get those perfect abs. In fact, it’s been shown that a keto diet can actually help you lose weight and build muscle. And since our bodies use fat as fuel, it makes sense that a keto diet would be the best way to lose weight and keep it off. In this article, we’ll go over everything you need to know about keto nutrition, including what a keto diet entails, how to follow a keto diet plan, and how a keto diet could be the key to your six-pack abs.
The Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet is not a keto diet. The keto diet refers to an eating pattern where fat is replaced by a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. The keto diet makes a few assumptions which may be true. Keto fuel gives you more energy, and your body has no choice but to burn fat, or it goes into starvation mode. The keto diet will help you lose weight, which may explain why so many people eat the diet and swear they have lost weight. But not all fat is created equally. Healthy fats like avocados and olive oil are known to be great for our body. There is plenty of research to suggest that fat is important for metabolism and energy. However, it is not possible to live off just fats. If you are going to be in ketosis for a long period of time, you need to fuel your body with the right fuel.
Why Keto for Six Pack?
Keto, if done properly, is a very good fat-burning, muscle-building, and metabolic booster. It contains all the essential nutrients to get to your health goals. There is only one thing that you should know, Keto is not a crash diet. If you are in ketosis for six months, you will see dramatic changes in your body that you cannot explain. If you are not in ketosis for six months, it will take a long time to see the results of your dieting program. So the trick is to start right now. There is no better time than now. The Keto Diet Facts: It is a low-carb diet. It is high in fat and it is mostly plant based. This is the diet that keeps you full and energized. This diet is also one of the safest diet for you to follow. It has been described as the most popular weight loss diets in the US.
A meal should be just one or two ounces of high-quality protein (egg whites, lean chicken, fish, meat) with a serving of fruits and veggies. Workout Try combining bodyweight exercises (crunches are good for a six pack, but you need more than that to keep those abs tight) with cardiovascular exercise like jogging, riding a stationary bike or swimming. Use the bodyweight movements in this article to add a new and intense way to get a six-pack, but remember to maintain your regular exercise routine. You want to eat nutritious food for long-term health. Build a six pack on Keto 1. Add More Protein to Your Diet Want to build a six pack on keto? Start by consuming more protein than you consume carbs. Protein helps you build muscles and stimulate energy.
Building a Six Pack
While losing fat is important, gaining strength is even more important. Building muscle means that you will need more calories to gain that muscle mass. However, muscle is not the same as fat. For one, muscle burns calories at a much faster rate. Also, muscle is denser and requires more energy to produce. Therefore, gaining muscle means consuming more calories. So, if you want a good looking, hard-as-a-rock six-pack, you will need to consume fewer calories while gaining strength. In general, when training to gain strength, you should be training the muscle with the most protein. As you become more familiar with strength training, you will want to prioritize your resting, maintenance, and post-workout protein intake.
Track Your Progress
It’s really easy to miss tracking your progress as you go about your day. But as long as you take the time to do it, it’s not only good for your health, it will also help you keep track of your progress. Eat Healthy Not only should you track your food, you should also eat whole foods, not processed foods. Lean meats, high quality fats and veggies should be your go-to foods. A typical ketogenic diet has a lot of chicken, beef, pork, butter and eggs in it. Look at Your Diet Like A Business When you are creating a diet plan, don’t make it an excuse to be lazy. Instead, think of it as creating a business that will earn you money and allow you to live the lifestyle that you want. And this means starting to cook all of your own meals.
Invest in Yourself
If you want to have a six-pack, make your diet a high-quality one. For maximum muscle growth, increase your protein consumption to 40 grams per meal, per day. While some people think that low-carb is the way to go, you might be underestimating the nutritional value of your protein. There are some very good reasons for focusing on high-protein diets. Your body utilizes high-protein foods to rebuild muscle and convert the amino acids you consume into energy. Also, many studies show that protein is essential to building muscle.
Additionally, protein helps to reduce hunger so you can focus on the fat loss and body composition goals. Eat Enough Protein When your body goes into ketosis, your body starts breaking down fats to use as an energy source.
Final Thought on Six Abs on Keto
6 abs are harder to get than you think, because you don’t really know what six abs really look like. If you are not ready to get started with a keto diet, you can get a sample kit and start doing at-home ab testing.

How are new works acquired for Parliament House?
Parliament House acquires artworks that enrich or expand the range or representation of the collection or strengthen the historical collection. Some of the artworks are jointly funded by the three parliamentary departments and others are gifted or loaned to the Parliament.
The Parliament House Art Advisory Committee will not acquire, or accept a loan of, any object unless it is satisfied with the validity of ownership of the object.
In assessing the suitability of artworks for the collection, consideration is given to a range of factors including its relevance to Parliament, members and staff and whether it depicts Western Australian landmarks and physical features or has a local or Indigenous reference. Further, the artwork is reviewed in the context of its artistic or presentation merit. This includes consideration of the artist’s professional record, visual appropriateness and professional presentation, vulnerability to damage, size in the context of capacity to display, resources required to house and maintain the artwork and any safety issues it may present for visitors.
How does Parliament preserve the collection?
Acquisitions and loans are clearly documented to facilitate identification, provenance and research. The collection is assessed at regular intervals with regard to value and ongoing preservation.
Can I copy or use an image of an artwork?
Third party rights exist in many of the images featured in the art catalogue and on display in the Parliament of Western Australia. It is therefore important that you seek advice on the copyright that applies to any image you wish to use.

AAS intern Katrina Ireland (Simmons College GSLIS program) recently came across a wonderful letter as she was processing our collection of Isaac Shepard Papers. Shepard (1816-1889) was a Harvard graduate and a commander of the 52nd US Infantry during the Civil War. In addition to his military life, Shepard was also a poet, author, and a devoted father. He shared a strong bond with his daughter, Ella, to whom he wrote many letters throughout his life. Their relationship can be traced through these letters, and it all started with a letter written on July 5th, 1846. You can read the entire letter here, and below are some highlights.
This is the first letter your father has ever written to you, and indeed the first that ever has been written to you. I suppose it is not a very usual thing for a lady not yet but seven months old to receive letters; but I have, today, thought a great deal of my little darling daughter as it is the first Sabbath I have ever been away from you and so I thought I would say how much I love you and how lonely I feel without you, and if you cannot read or understand it now, if God should let you grow up to be a young lady, then you can do so, and remember that your father loved you a great deal when you were a very little child.
You see I write upon a very small sheet because it is to a very small, though a very good girl. I have written you a little prayer in a hymn, and when you can speak I want you to learn it and say it every night before you sleep. I will copy it for you, and then this first letter to you will be done. You may give my love to your mother, and keep a great many kisses for me.
The entirety of the Isaac Shepard Papers will be described in a catalog record and finding aid, which should be available by the end of this year, so stay tuned!

The Pirates also had junior Eden Shipp and senior Victoria Sanders with matching 45s that tied the low score for Staley from Jaylee Castro.

“We had a pretty good day today,” Platte County coach Trevor Short said. “The ladies are getting plenty of practice on the course, and it will be good as we head into the postseason. We are starting to get things rolling and starting to post some competitive scores.”
Platte County found out this week that it will go from Class 2 in the old two-class system to Class 3 District 4 in the new four-class setup. The Pirates have one more match next week before hitting the Suburban Conference Blue Division Championship seeking a fifth straight team title. State qualifiers will now come directly from districts with no sectional round.
Shiloh Springs will be the site of both the Blue Division Championships and Class 3 District 4 play.
“This should be a good advantage on the field for us, but we must take advantage of that opportunity,” Short said. “We will spend a lot of time focusing on our trouble holes and working on some of the weaker areas of our game.”
Oak Park Invitational
Platte County closed its regular season tournament schedule Monday with a third-place showing on The Outlaw Course at Paradise Point Golf Complex in Smithville.
There were 19 teams and only three were under a team score of 400. Platte County was at 378 and just 14 strokes back of Liberty despite higher-than-normal scores. Bigus led the Pirates with a 19-over 91 to finish in a three-way tie for seventh. Shipp had a 93 (12th) and Silcott a 94 (13th) to also finish in medal positions.
Sanders rounded out the team score with a 100 and missed a medal by just four strokes.
“It wasn’t our best round of golf, but we ended up in the top three today with a couple of larger class schools ahead of us,” Short said. “We are very pleased with how the team is playing right now and will continue to focus on the small things to improve our game as we inch closer to the postseason.”

Genealogy Research and Copies
The County Clerk’s office assists many visitors and handles many mailed requests for genealogy, or family history research. State law restricts access to vital records. Only the County Clerk and staff may handle the records. Staff members will search the indexes and copy the appropriate records.
New public search software in the Perry County Clerk’s office will now allow genealogy researchers access to a computerized database of vital records old enough to qualify. For genealogy access, birth records must be at least 70 years old. Marriage records must be 50 years old. Death records must be 20 years old.
Copies of vital records used for genealogy purposes are $5 each. Genealogy copies are uncertified and copied on white paper. Genealogy copies must be marked “For Genealogy Purposes Only”. These copies can be used only for informational purposes and are not valid for legal purposes.
Mailed genealogy requests should be specific and include all known information for the individuals being researched and the type of record being sought (birth, death or marriage). Requestors should send $5 for each copy requested, plus a self-addressed stamped envelope. Due to the volume of requests and confidentiality of records, the County Clerk’s office can not answer e-mailed family history inquiries. The County Clerk’s staff will attempt to locate documents for specific written inquiries. Payment is required before documents are copied or mailed.

In particular I am interested in whether it is more closely related to "precision" or "accuracy". So a somewhat mathematical description might be appropriate.
Warning - a certain amount of personal interpretation here.
When I asked Google, the definition included both "accuracy" and "precision":
I would say that it has to first be accuracy and next precision. Here is my reasoning:
You can have a very precise measurement (when you repeat it 100 times, you get the same answer within 0.1%) that has a large systematic error (bias) - for example, measuring a length with a ruler that has a worn end. Such a measurement is not faithful to the thing being measured - it's "low fidelity".
If you have a measurement that is accurate but has low precision, you can repeat it 100 times and you will slowly converge on the correct answer (since accuracy implies low bias).
This makes accuracy more important - and means that "fidelity" in a measurement, while really requiring a fair amount of both, should primarily be equated with accuracy.
It would be in reference to precision. This may sound pendantic, but every measurement in science has some degree of error no matter how small. These small errors are important, because if they repeat in subsequent experiments, then a pattern is realized. The reproducability of errors that make patterns reveal degrees of precision, (among other things). This is a critical distinction from the notion of accuracy, which assumes a thing is perfectly known. I would expect the use of the term 'fidelity' is in reference to precision, as accuracy is a unicorn in science.

The Christian image and contemporary British painting: (the communication of meaning and experience in religious paintings)
thesisposted on 04.06.2015, 07:39 by Nicholas Wyatt
My research uses my painting practice as an experimental and investigative tool to test the capacity of practical aesthetics to generate similar or analogous experiences to the non-dualist reception aesthetics of certain key examples of post-Tridentine (1563) Catholic Counter-Reformation devotional imagery, particularly, The Ecstasy of St. Theresa (1647-1652) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the Incarnation (1596-1600) by El Greco. I apply an interpretative method to the development of Christian imagery within painting in the post-Reformation period and its relationship to the economic system of modern capitalism and the Enlightenment aesthetic of the sublime. My research aims to see what, if any, meanings and experiences, which, I believe, were present in the affective aesthetics of certain Counter-Reformation imagery can, through the contemporary aesthetics of my painting practice, be reconstructed or re-generated again as similar experience to those original pre-Enlightenment non-dualist meanings and experiences. The experience I aim to generate in my paintings is an affective and experiential narrative of presence, - Eliot’s ‘unity of thought, feeling and action’, which I argue is found in the meaning and experience of those key Christian devotional images.

Our work for the Metropolitan (Met) Police of London has been shortlisted in the Cannes Lions’ Innovation award honoring groundbreaking innovation, technology and problem-solving. This particular project has demonstrated the transformative power of creating an open dialogue between the public and law enforcement with technology.
The Innovation Lions recognize different technological solutions such as products, models, tools, and platforms as well as another kind of ad tech and creative campaigns that use new technology. This year, 21 campaigns were selected from around the world and each of them was assessed live by a jury at Cannes Lions.
For us, it was an amazing feat in innovation because we were able to transform the oldest police in the world from a traditional organization into a digital-centric workforce. Our team of experts created a framework connecting the local police with the public in a two-way communication process that contributed to increase trust and confidence while maintaining a sense of visibility of the police.
The project of digital transformation started in 2015. This was a time in which the Met Police was facing a reduction in the budget, an increasing demand of local presence, and a growing expectation for online police availability, The team at Globant focused on agile methodology throughout the entire development process and defined a strategic roadmap to discover and address the Metropolitan Police’s key pain points with an integrated service platform. Our services contributed to the transformation of the Met Police into the world’s largest police force. The new service platform enabled 100,000 online reports of crime, reduced time spent triaging contacts by 65% hence, saving 7,200 police officers’ hours across road-traffic incidents alone. In addition, as a consequence of the use of the new platform, the Met Police received 90% of traffic allegations online, resolved 14,500 inquiries through Twitter, all with 88% service satisfaction.
Check out our work for the Met Police here.

CBD For Anxiety and Stress- Is It Really Effective?
CBD may be useful in the treatment of a variety of anxiety conditions. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant that has been extensively studied. Tetrahydrocannabinol is another well-known cannabinoid (THC). The Cannabis sativa plant includes approximately 540 chemical components in addition to CBD and THC.
Cannabinoids like CBD and THC bind to specific cannabinoid neurotransmitters. THC is the chemical that causes the well-known “high” that many consumers connect with marijuana. CBD, on the other hand, has no such impact. Instead, it may provide several health advantages.
Can CBD Assist With Anxiety?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is one of many cannabinoids present in the Cannabis sativa plant. It’s a non-psychoactive chemical that might assist with anxiety and a variety of other issues.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health problem in the United States, affecting 31.1 percent of people in the country. At this moment, the mechanism of action of CBD in the treatment of anxiety remains unclear. However, it may operate by altering serotonin levels in the brain, according to some studies. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that aids in the following:
According to research, boosting serotonin levels can aid in the treatment of anxiety. In addition, certain medicines, such as antidepressants, function by controlling serotonin levels, and some research suggests that the best CBD melatonin gummies for sleep works effectively and similarly to antidepressant and anti-anxiety treatments.
The Findings Of The Research
CBD interacts with the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R), the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, and other brain receptors that govern fear and anxiety-induced behaviors, according to the authors of a 2015 review.
Preclinical and clinical data confirmed CBD as an effective therapy for a variety of anxiety disorders, according to the review’s authors, including:
- Anxiety disorder, generalized (GAD)
- PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a type of anxiety condition that (PTSD)
- panic attack (PD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a kind of obsessive-compulsive (OCD)
- Anxiety about social situations (SAD)
Researchers in New Zealand investigated the effects of CBD in 397 people in a study published in 2020. Participants in the research were given medical CBD prescriptions for non-cancer pain, cancer-related symptoms, neurological symptoms, and mental health problems.
HOWEVER, the CBD dosages in the trials varied greatly, ranging from 6-400 mg each treatment. This discrepancy emphasizes the need for further high-quality, large-scale clinical research to help develop standardized CBD dosage and clinical use recommendations.
How to Make Use of CBD
As previously stated, researchers and healthcare experts have yet to establish consistent dosage guidelines for CBD treatment. However, researchers discovered that 300–600 mg of CBD decreased anxiety symptoms in 57 adult men in a 2019 study.
The amount of CBD, a person, needs to reduce anxiety is determined by the CBD product and how it is administered. Methods of CBD administration include:
- spray under the tongue
- cannabis flowers or vaporized oil
The manner of delivery influences how fast cannabinoids take action.
Side Effects And Risks
People might tolerate CBD at dosages as high as 1,500 mg/day, according to the authors of this 2019 review. However, there is a lack of long-term data on CBD’s toxicity. Drowsiness is one of the adverse effects linked with CBD.
- reduced appetite
- changes in weight
CBD is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating anxiety or other mental health issues. Therefore, people should use their best judgment while purchasing CBD products. Buy from reliable manufacturers and wholesalers only.
The study on it for anxiety is encouraging, but small sample sizes and a lack of information on long-term effects restrict it. More study is needed to determine whether or not it is a safe and effective therapy. Its legality is also debatable, so you should look into the rules governing its possession and use in your state.

I kid, I kid!
But seriously, the hatred toward Mitt Romney because of his private equity background has gotten a bit carried away.
Let me get this straight – for 250 years we elect nothing but lawyers (LAWYERS!) and the occasional ex-general to the White House – but someone who built a private equity firm is all of a sudden not good enough?
Look, I understand that your ideal candidate is the folksy owner of a local pharmacy who jerked root beer floats for your grandparents on Main Street and does Habitats for Humanity with his spare time, but seriously, grow up. Our economy is and has been based on some people being good at taking things away from other people for awhile now – and Mitt Romney is exceedingly good at this game. If modern-day Capitalist America were a marathon Dungeons & Dragons session, Mitt would be the motherf***ing Dungeon Master.
So yes, his firm Bain Capital came into companies, laid people off and enriched itself. So what? That’s a perfectly legitimate role in the scheme of capitalism even if it’s not a role that you personally would ever want to play. I personally don’t want to be the guy at a multi-national corporation that decides to relocate a manufacturing plant from Kentucky to Kazakhstan – but someone has to if the company is to remain competitive. I personally don’t want to work as a public defender, sticking up for murderers and rapists in the American justice system – but someone has to if the Constitution is to be upheld. Mitt’s industry takes over companies that will likely not remain viable for long based on bloated cost structures and unexploited opportunity. Done correctly, private equity involvement cleans out dead wood and puts the right people into place. Sure, they enrich themselves along the way – but that’s what they are supposed to be doing – should they work for the entertainment value? To have a place to go in the morning? Give me a break.
And besides, Mitt is good at it. Was a serial business failure like W any better just because we approved of the industries he failed in (oil and baseball)?
So yes, I’m probably voting for Mitt unless someone digs up a graveyard full of infant carcasses behind his house or something. He’s smart, capable, understands the economy, is not owned by the church or the labor unions and he probably won’t embaraass us on the world’s stage. he’s not a drinker, a smoker or a philanderer that we know of. He’s also not borderline illiterate or proud of his own ignorance (which seems to be the in-thing in his party these days).
A casual perusal of the landscape shows that Mitt is the only viable choice for me in a tough year for American political leadership…
1. Obama: Nice guy, in way over his head, has a flawed ideology and no clue how business works. I didn’t vote for him in 2008 but when he won I was rooting for him to fix the place. And then he blew his mandate on Healthcare rather than the economy and straightening out the financial system. And inexplicably doubled down in Afghanistan. He needs to go.
2. Huntsman: In a perfect world, he would be vice president and teed up for an eventual run. He’s probably the most qualified to do the job, but his worldliness, willingness to work with Dems and forward-thinking mentality are all detrimental in the GOP primary process (a process by which the candidate who demonstrates the most willingness to bring back Norman Rockwell’s America wins). Huntsman thought it would be a good idea to speak flawless Mandarin before an audience of the Republican base, he may as well have put on a pink cowgirl’s costume with ass-less chaps and bowed down to Allah, boy does he not know his audience…
3. Gingrich: Newt is the most polarizing of the candidates, the Dems would probably force themselves to fall back in love with Obama just to grab enough independents to beat him. He can’t convert middle of the road, rational independents like Mitt can.
4. Paul: Ron loses as soon as the question of Defense and Military spending enters into the discussion – within his own party, let alone in a national contest.
5. Santorum: His childlike sense of wonder and storybook views on science are adorable, but frankly, this is like George W Bush without the charm. The medieval judgmentalism makes him unlikely to pull swing voters either, hence his candidacy would be a give-away to team Obama.
6. Perry: I’m too busy to say anything substantive about
Ricky Bobby Rick Perry right now. Let’s just say my fancy book-learnin’ doesn’t permit the two of us to see eye to eye on very much.
This is a finance blog, so let’s not get too political here, let’s be pragmatic. Your choice here is basically a bunch of guys who cannot win a national contest, a guy who already won and has proven that he’s not up to the job, OR a guy with business experience who has a good shot at winning over the middle ground – despite the fact that you may not love what he did for a living prior to public life.
Not a very tough choice at all. At least not for a pragmatist like me.

|Swans are large water birds of the family Anatidae, which also includes geese and ducks. Swans are grouped with the closely related geese in the subfamily Anserinae where they form the tribe Cygnini. Sometimes, they are considered a distinct subfamily, Cygninae.|
Swans usually mate for life, though "divorce" does sometimes occur, particularly following nesting failure. The number of eggs in each clutch is between 3–8.
The word is derived from Old English swan, akin to German schwan, in turn derived from Indo-European root *swen (to sound, to sing), whence Latin derives sonus (sound). (Webster's New World Dictionary) Young swans are known as cygnets, from the Latin word for swan, cygnus. An adult male is a "cob", an adult female is a "pen".

Objective: To evaluate the association between sleep duration and the risk of incident dementia and brain aging. Methods: Self-reported total hours of sleep were examined in the Framingham Heart Study (n = 2,457, mean age 72 ± 6 years, 57% women) as a 3-level variable: <6 hours (short), 6-9 hours (reference), and >9 hours (long), and was related to the risk of incident dementia over 10 years, and cross-sectionally to total cerebral brain volume (TCBV) and cognitive performance. Results: We observed 234 cases of all-cause dementia over 10 years of follow-up. In multivariable analyses, prolonged sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of incident dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 2.01; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.24-3.26). These findings were driven by persons with baseline mild cognitive impairment (HR 2.83; 95% CI 1.06-7.55) and persons without a high school degree (HR 6.05; 95% CI 3.00-12.18). Transitioning to sleeping >9 hours over a mean period of 13 years before baseline was associated with an increased risk of all-cause dementia (HR 2.43; 95% CI 1.44-4.11) and clinical Alzheimer disease (HR 2.20; 95% CI 1.17-4.13). Relative to sleeping 6-9 hours, long sleep duration was also associated cross-sectionally with smaller TCBV (β ± SE, -1.08 ± 0.41 mean units of TCBV difference) and poorer executive function (β ± SE, -0.41 ± 0.13 SD units of Trail Making Test B minus A score difference). Conclusions: Prolonged sleep duration may be a marker of early neurodegeneration and hence a useful clinical tool to identify those at a higher risk of progressing to clinical dementia within 10 years.

Recap: Upswell 2020 / Day 3
// By Christian Clansky
Upswell’s final day began with a Main Stage moment that might have seemed implausible a few years ago.
Stephen Heintz – who as the head of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund represents one of the most influential philanthropic organizations in the country, resourced by the accumulated wealth of one of the richest men in history – said, “Democracy is the ultimate public good. When we erode democracy, we erode the quality of our society.”
And then he continued, boldly, “We have, in philanthropy, anti-democratic roots…Philanthropy exists because of economic inequality and we need to acknowledge in philanthropy that we have a massive debt to society.”
Moments like these matter.
As we work to heal our nation, it’s vital that we continue to wrestle with the complicated and uncomfortable history that created not just the inequities we seek to balance, but indeed the very structures we’re using to affect them.
On the Main Stage
- Led by Stacy Palmer, Stephen Heintz and Marc Morial delved into a thought-provoking conversation about the state of American democracy. Describing it as “in peril and promising,” Stephen exhorted us all to take advantage of our great opportunity to address our nation’s challenges and reinvent America for the 21st century. Saying “social movements move the needle to educate the public in American life,” Marc joined Stephen in calling out philanthropy’s imperative to be more intentional about supporting movements, as well as nonprofit organizations on the frontlines to advance democratic processes and outcomes for social good.
- Pittsburgh-based 1Hood Media’s Jasiri X, Miracle Jones, and Treble NLS discussed the immediate need for radical change. In that pursuit, arts activists are building allyship and coalitions across generations, religions, and other groups to fight the impact of COVID-19, racism, aggressive policing, and homophobia, particularly in Black and Brown communities. Treble NLS noted “growth and comfort don’t co-exist.” He called on artists to keep pushing. “It’s our duty to keep speaking on [social issues], not fan the flames, but build the community and see how we can work together to put out the flames of white supremacy.”
- Multi-hyphenate artist Dash rallied for the non-negotiable need for young people to learn about and pursue creative arts. In particular, he identifies music as “the voice of the culture of our time.” He used that voice in a performance that explored the multiple identities that others put on him as a Black man — hauntingly juxtaposing the power of “a hundred men” with the vulnerability of “a hunted man.”
- On the subject of modern spirituality, Adam Taylor of Sojourners said that today and in our history, “spirituality is the fuel and oxygen for so many social movements…[That] bodes well for some of the change that is on the horizon for the nation as we embrace a bigger, and more inclusive ‘we the people’.”
- On our role in safeguarding next month’s elections, Janeen Comenote of the National Urban Indian Family Coalition says: It’s up to us to help solve the chaos, because we’re the trusted advocates who have been building relationships on the ground for decades.
- Being mindful and practicing breathing while wearing a mask can help reduce anxiety in the COVID-19 world, says Danielle Williams Thum of UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh: “I wear a fun, colorful mask to portray the smile that people can’t see.”
- American Express NGen Leadership Award Finalist Noah Blue Elk Hotchkiss, who started Tribal Adaptive, on serving disabled Native youth: COVID-19 has forced his organization and community to build even more resilience and “work on ourselves and reach out in a way that we never had before.”
- On tokenism, Alexandra Bernadotte of Beyond 12 asked leaders to not just make space for one Black woman on boards, panels, or in interviews. “How do you create space for more than just one of us? We are all different with nuanced experiences and backgrounds. Having four of us is so much more powerful than one of us.”
- Abigail Dunne-Moses of the Center for Creative Leadership on listening and collaborating so equity, diversity, and people can thrive: “Without passion, there will not be any change.”
- As nonprofits face the effects of the recent executive order on race and sex stereotyping, Upswell participants brainstormed with attorneys with Sheppard Mullin who talked about intent, interpretation, and complexity – and the critical need to continue monitoring developments.
- Danielle Lewis of Springboard Partners offered three recommendations to organizations around communications: use your brand identity to shape your strategic plan, clarify your brand by writing it down, and use the brand and strategy routinely to make decisions.
- Shifting resources in crisis is nothing new for Terence Narcisse of East Harris County Empowerment Council. “Believe in yourself, believe in your ideas” – that’s his encouragement to young leaders working to strengthen their communities.
- What’s an “ordinary person”? Someone committed to building, and committed to shifting power. With that lead in, Chanel Hampton, 2020 American Express NGen Leadership Award finalist, charged us with a simple and true call to action: the power starts with you.
And on the subject of power, today’s bottom line comes from Miracle Jones of 1Hood Media Academy:
“People in power can do more and should be doing more.”
Use your power well.

A short history
I've always been a passionate games since I was a kid. Of course this shortly led me to learning how to write my own games. I was 4 when I started copying the games found on paper magazines on my father's Commodore VIC 20.
I can still remember the time it took to save and load those games from the tape recorder. And all of the problems when the tape twirled and got stuck in the recorder!
During school time I spent a lot of time developing my own games, tools and engines writing plenty of code in x86 Assembly, Pascal, C/C++.
Later on I managed to work remotely for a few US based companies until I later started my own company.
Here's a list of the personal projects I worked on. It's not necessarily in chronological order, but it gives an idea of the kind of stuff that I'm interested in when talking about making videogames. Some of those projects have never seen the light of the day as I've never released them, though. I'm not even sure I still have the code lying around.
I was still in high school when I made my first 3D engine in mixed Pascal/x86 ASM. That was the time I got into the demo scene and I came up with matrix transformations, texture mapping, chroma-key transparencies of 3D convex solids, all in good old 320x200, 256 colors VGA.
At that same time I wrote a 2D tile scrolling engine and used that to make a multiplayer competitive game. It featured infinite sized 2D levels, UDP networking with up to 8 players, client/server architecture with auto-election of one of the clients as server.
The next incarnation of my 3D engine came a few years later. This time I went for a C/ASM combo. I started from scratch learning from my previous engine. It featured 3D convex solids in High Color mode (16bit) at every supported resolution (we're talking SVGA there). It featured texture mapping, perspective correction, multi-point lighting, colored lights, Gouraud and Lambert shading, z-buffering, movable cameras. It supported models made with 3DStudio and exported in 3DStudio ASCII format. I even managed to make a tool to convert 3DStudio files to my own high performance binary format (TNS). Later on I ported this same engine to Windows 95 using DirectDraw. That was still when there were no 3D video cards around.
Shortly after the first 3D cards were out the door I started working on different DirectX prototypes to learn the new Microsoft SDK . They were mostly small games and AI experiments.
At some point I wanted to take Bitmap Bros' Xenon 2 Megablast and make a 3D version of it. I called that CSenon 3 and actually created a 3D space shooter using Auran's Jet SDK. It also featured local and internet based co-op multiplayer.
Thanks to Real Arcade who were promoting independent developers (that was way before the rise of the indies!) at some point I got access to LithTech SDK. That was a revelation as it was the first real middleware that covered pretty much all you needed to make an AAA game. I made a little RPG with multiplayer support and a fully scriptable system for quests and events.
In the meanwhile I was also fascinated by the MUD community and I had that idea of a graphical MUD. Of course I was not alone. Others were trying to achieve something like that. I managed to join the development team of Illusia and write some of the AI code for NPCs.
Not long after that Ultima Online came out. I wanted to make my own UO server so I joined the UOX3 server emulator project. Someone had already reverse engineered the network code and developed the basic stuff for the server. I rewrote most of that code and improved the performance a fixed a hell of a lot of bugs. I also managed to write new scripts and features.
When Neverwinter Nights got released I found a new way to make my own online server to play with friends. What was missing was a way to persist data between game sessions. That's when I wrote a wrapper for MySQL and the necessary libraries for Neverwinter Nights. That way I could persist the world to a SQL database. That project reached 500 subscribers as soon as I launched the alpha test.
In between I managed to write mods for Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, Half-Life 2, and many other FPS.
That was also the time when I learned UnrealScript, the Source SDK, Unreal Engine 3 and later on Unity and Unreal Engine 4.
Some of those tools are now part of my everyday game making arsenal.
Even though I value Unity as a very good engine when you need to cut the time and costs of development, I also had to switch to using engines like MonoGame and even write my own C++ high-performance 2D cross-platform OpenGL ES 2 engine. Recently I released a new Open Source game engine called Binocle. It’s available on GitHub and it features 2D and 3D OpenGL rendering, multi track audio, collision detection, sprite batching and much more.
I’m also working on a prototype cross platform engine written in Rust. It started as a mini game prototype and it evolved to a stage where it runs on desktops, mobiles and soon in browsers
I've been beta testing a lot of games, especially multiplayer ones. To name a few: Ultima Online, Anarchy Online, DarkSpace Mimesis Online, Disney's ToonTown, Dark Age of Camelot, Dragon Empires, Shadowbane, Project IGI 2, Prigioni.
I also beta tested a lot of different SDKs: Crystal Space, Nebula Device (the one used by Radon Labs' Nomads), Auran's Jet, NeL (Nevrax Library, the one made for the MMO Ryzom), WildTangent WebDriver, LithTech SDK.
I've been an active member of the MUD-Dev community, a community of developers and designers of online games constantly exchanging opinions and ideas with people working at places like Sony, Mythic Entertainment, Skotos, and the like.
I've also been a Role Playing Games addict, both on computer and with pen and paper. I've been playing D&D, AD&D, Cyberpunk, Call of the Cthulu, and more RPGs for years, both as Dungeon Master and as player.
I also enjoy playing tabletop and card games every once in a while.

As you all know, about a year ago I spent a three and half frenetic days recording XPNStock, WXPN's real-time broadcast of the entire 1969 Woodstock Festival in honour of its 50th anniversary. I'd missed out on the 38-CD box, and this was my one and only chance to grab its treasures—for free, no less. I then spent the better part of August and September painstakingly evaluating almost 36 hours of recorded audio: editing, trimming, patching and polishing it up until it positively sparkled. Problem was, by the time I was finished I was so burnt out that I couldn't bring myself to actually listen to it.
That's what 51st anniversaries are for. I'm a bit early, but I did all of Day 1 today: cranked up the old computer speakers and (finally) got to kick back and enjoy the music. I'm still amazed at how good it sounds, and so grateful to have procured the lot for nothing but dedication and diligence. Takeaways: Richie Havens' opening set was, well, groovy. Sweetwater featured a unique sound and some great jamming, but must work on the harmonies, kids. Bonus points for the flat-out weirdest song performed at the festival, "My Crystal Spider." Bert Sommer was a top-rank songwriter, and it's a shame his career never took off. His is the great "lost" performance of the festival. Tim Hardin's performance, though wildly uneven, really had its moments. Ravi Shankar? Less talk, more rock. I loved what was played but grew impatient with the musicology class he threatened to turn his set into. Melanie is not my cup of tea at all, but even she had a couple of gems amongst the caterwauling. Arlo Guthrie's performance was by turns ragged, hilarious and inspired, and Joan Baez capped off the day in fine form.
WXPN is reprising XPNStock, but they're playing the sets over a full week, in prime time, in what looks to be a bit of a random order. Had I missed anything last time I'd tune in, but I'm pretty sure I got all there was to get. Now it's time to enjoy. Day 2 coming up ...
Viewing: Woodstock Festival - View all posts
Just a quick update on how I'm coping with the current situation. Overall, I consider myself quite fortunate. As a card-carrying introvert, I'm well equipped to handle social isolation, physical distancing and so on. Like it or not, some version of this has been my reality for years anyway, so it's not been that dramatic an adjustment. I don't miss my full social calendar because I've never had one. I spent huge swaths of time alone before the pandemic, and very little has changed but for the fact that there are no social engagements to turn down.
As far as supporting myself goes, my freelance job, which I've not heretofore perceived as terribly stable, has been rock solid. I work in television broadcasting, and my industry has made the Ontario essential workplaces list, both the original and revised versions. Work has been steady and I've been able to transition quite well to working from home. I was concerned at the prospect of having to upgrade my home computer (i.e., buying a new one), but my only financial outlay was a mouse, full keyboard and wrist rest, which totalled under $40. Again, I'm grateful for my good fortune—which is blind luck, really, when I consider how many people with secure, full-time jobs are glumly sitting at home, hoping the CERB will cover their mortgage and car payments.
Of the adjustments I have had to make, some are rather humorous. I was overdue for a haircut and had booked an appointment just before the big shutdown in mid-March which, in a moment of prescience, my stylist cancelled. I'm not a fan of ponytails, and I abhor man buns. So, between repeated playings of CSNY's "Almost Cut My Hair," I've fashioned a homemade headband out of an old bed sheet. I'll look like a true Woodstock warrior until my next haircut, which will be who knows when. (Hey, Paul Kantner and Jack Casady wore headbands at Woodstock: good enough for me.)
On a more serious note, I had a cycling accident in mid-March. Bad timing. No car was involved; I rode headlong into a curb I did not see and went flying, landing on my face. For a day or two I looked like the Elephant Man, but the cuts on my face healed in short order. More worrisome is the ring finger on my left hand. Five weeks on, it's swollen and slightly bent, though not at all painful. After numerous failed attempts to receive medical attention, I finally got an x-ray this afternoon and am waiting to discuss next steps with my doctor.
Despite this I've managed to devote some time to my old standby, home recording. What better time to lay down some tracks in your home studio, right? Thing is, my finger has made playing any of my stringed instruments difficult. I've devised a couple of alternate-fingering workarounds, and compensated by recording my guitar and bass parts in even more pieces than usual. The finger has slowed me down, but I'm progressing with the cover tunes I set out to record in December. Anyway, I'm now on to mixing the latest, and this one has a lot going on so it'll take a good while. I'm hoping my finger will be back to full strength by the time I'm ready to record the next cover.
What else? Well, we've all had to learn how to video-conference in five minutes or less. My Zoom H1 (handy digital recorder) also works as a USB mic, and it's a significant upgrade over my laptop's built-in model, a pinprick in the front console. I also have a decent USB webcam that provides high-quality visuals. The experiment continues, I guess, as long as COVID-19 keeps spreading. Me, I'm happy to live in a country whose guiding principle is "peace, order and good government." In my estimation our leaders, even those whose political stripes don't jibe with mine, have acted prudently and responsibly. Contrast our prime minister, premiers and mayors with that very stable genius to the south who openly ponders the benefits of shooting Lysol at his press briefings.
Just a quick wrap-up (for now) on my Woodstock obsession. When we last rapped, man, our hero had compiled a nearly complete set of recordings from the Woodstock Festival, thanks to WPXN's radio broadcast over the 50th anniversary weekend, XPNstock.
As you'll recall, two songs were missing from the Jimi Hendrix set. They weren't broadcast by WXPN because they're not on the 38-CD box, and they're not on the box because the Hendrix Estate won't authorize their release. Enter the good folks at "non-label" (i.e., bootleggers) who've put out a double CD of Hendrix's entire Woodstock set. I took the plunge and now have the missing songs: "Mastermind" and "Gypsy Woman/Aware of Love," both sung by rhythm guitarist Larry Lee. Though the official release's booklet dismisses them as "slow, haggard filler" they sound fine to these ears, and it's a treat to hear Hendrix as an accompanist.
The bootleg brought another pleasant surprise: in addition to the Larry Lee songs, it contains 20 minutes of material absent from Live at Woodstock and the 38-CD box. Much of this consists of Lee solos that were inexplicably cut from the official version. Of course, it is a bootleg, so the sound is somewhat muddy and boxy. But if you tune your ears to it, so to speak, it's perfectly acceptable, and I'm grateful to now have every single note played by Hendrix and his band at Woodstock.
So, what am I still missing? What everyone else is, apparently: the one-and-a-half Sha Na Na songs that weren't recorded back in 1969. I wonder if audience tapes exist, or perhaps the fabled mono soundboard reel that was used as backup when things went awry. In any event, I'm sure that geeks greater than me are on the case, and if there's anything floating around out there it'll turn up someday. When it does, I'll be first in line.
This August marked the 50th anniversary of the iconic Woodstock Festival, and though the proposed commemorative concert failed to materialize, Rhino Records put out a nearly complete chronicle of the original this summer.
And I, noted Woodstock obsessive, couldn't afford it. And only 1,969 were made. And it sold out within weeks. And they're not making more. Ever. As stagehand Muskrat intoned on the original triple album, "Hmm. Bummer, bummer!" Want to weep along with me? Here's a glowing review of that 38-CD set.
But! The good Lord intervened just in time. First, I discovered a geeky forum replete with fellow obsessives: some who'd bought the box, others who wished they had. And a few days before the anniversary, some kind soul posted this magic sentence: "Full Woodstock recording to air on WXPN at exact time of original festival."
Like many FM stations, WXPN streams live, 24/7—one of the advantages of living in 2019, not 1969. The advance notice gave me a few days to figure out how to connect my Zoom H1, laptop and speakers. I also did a test to make sure my Zoom would record without shutting off for eight hours, because some sets would be broadcast while I was asleep. I was in it to win it. And on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 5:07 p.m. EDT, 50 years to the second, my three and a half days of recording began with Richie Havens' opener, "From the Prison."
Variously dubbed "Woodstock as It Happened: 50 Years On" and "XPNstock," the extravaganza preempted much of WXPN's regular programming; they broadcast 37 of the 38 discs. (Disc 38 contains no music, consisting of stage announcements and other ephemera that the producers couldn't place in chronological sequence.) And thanks to WXPN, Rhino Records and whoever else conspired to create this wondrous occurrence, I captured it all. Yes, it's a compressed radio stream, not quite the pristine audio found on the CDs, but for zero dollars, I'll take it. Happily.
Little did I know that my raw recordings would be but the start of my odyssey. At a bare minimum I had to clean up the start and end of each set, having hit "record" early and "stop" late to ensure I got everything. I also brightened the sound a touch with some judicious EQ while rolling off some murk on the bottom end. The stream went down only once, during Arlo Guthrie's "Wheel of Fortune" on Day 1. Thankfully, I was able to patch that song in from my copy of the 40th anniversary box set. There were also numerous instances of stream stutter to fix. No audio was missing, but occasional gaps of silence, lasting anywhere from a tenth of a second to three seconds, needed repair. I stitched these gaps together in Audacity, which took a lot of patience and diligent listening.
Being a good citizen—and wanting to maintain their licence—WXPN silenced any profanity found within the 37 discs. To create an accurate facsimile of the box set, I had to find ways of patching in the dirty words whenever possible. In two instances, this meant finding missing songs: both Country Joe McDonald (solo) and Country Joe & the Fish did the infamous "Fish Cheer," and neither was broadcast on WXPN. (For the uninitiated, the word they spell isn't "fish" but another four-letter word beginning with F.) In addition, I wanted to excise the many station IDs and promos from my recordings, some of which obliterated the first or final few notes of a song. Deleting the IDs/promos was easy, but again, I had to patch in the missing material from other sources. Finally, perhaps because it's such a ramshackle performance, WXPN didn't broadcast Tim Hardin's 16-minute "Snow White Lady." I patched that in from YouTube.
You'll recall that off the top, I said "nearly complete." So, what's missing from the 38-CD box and, by extension, XPNstock? Three and a half songs. Half of Sha Na Na's "Little Darlin'" and all of "Teenager in Love" were not recorded in 1969. Yep, after almost four sleepless days, Eddie Kramer and his onsite team finally screwed up and let the tape run out, and if there's any Woodstock act for which that's forgivable, Sha Na Na gets my vote.
The other two missing songs are from Jimi Hendrix's set. Sung by rhythm guitarist Larry Lee, the Hendrix estate refuses to sanction their release "for aesthetic reasons." Now, I'm not one to lead you into the dark underworld of unauthorized recordings, but if you google "larry lee gypsy woman soundcloud," you might stumble on the rarest Woodstock recording of all. And were you to figure out a way to record that audio, you too would be in possession of a song absent from the 38-CD box. (I'm still hunting for "Mastermind," the other Larry Lee song.)
Words cannot express how grateful I am to WXPN for taking three and a half days out of their regular schedule to give us the gift of XPNstock. Kudos are also, of course, due the box set's producers/engineers Andy Zax, Brian Kehew, Dave Schultz for their yeoman's restoration of the entire festival. The deep dives these boys took knew no bounds: for instance, they sifted through photographic evidence to ensure that their instrument placement in the stereo field was accurate. Much of the music performed at Woodstock was magnificent, and thanks to Messrs. Zax, Kehew and Schultz, it has never sounded better.
In interviews, Andy Zax revealed that some audio material was salvaged by technical marvels that have only recently come into existence. Ever heard of de-mixing? How about polyphonic tuning? Me neither, but the former was used to create a stereo mix of Ravi Shankar's performance from a gritty mono soundboard reel. The latter helped Zax and crew take Blood, Sweat & Tears' horns, which were out of tune in different directions, and "nudge the tonality of the horns to get them back into a sound range that the human ear would prefer to hear." In both cases, the results are miraculous. Or as Zax said, "To me, this is like magic science fiction stuff. It's like the Great Gazoo descended down, waved a magic wand, and suddenly here's this remarkable thing!"
Oh, and while he was at it, the Great Gazoo, or God if you prefer, gave us XPNstock, enabling me to construct a poor man's version of Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive. I still wish I'd splurged for the box. But with copies now going for close to $3,500 US, that ship has sailed and in the end, I think I've ended up with something more worthwhile—tasty, cleaned-up recordings that I had a hand in creating. I like to think of my painstaking audio editing as a microcosm of the producers' stellar work.
Now that my work is done, I can sit back and enjoy Woodstock as a listening experience. I know I've babbled on a bit and not discussed the music much. Suffice it to say that the vast majority of these artists were at or near their peak in 1969, and most of this music is great. Some is truly staggering. I point to one stretch from late Saturday night into Sunday afternoon that's jaw-dropping when heard in sequence. Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Sly & the Family Stone, The Who, Jefferson Airplane and Joe Cocker not only wowed those lucky attendees in 1969, but gave us some of the most iconic moments in rock history. I heartily recommend you seek out their full sets; all but The Who have been officially released (beyond the now-unavailable 38-CD set).

But as a migraine sufferer, bright isn’t always good.
Welcome back to an actual playthrough of a new game! YAY!
Don’t let my first sentence fool you, the game I will be playing through is good….REALLY good. But I am also warning that my health still isn’t as great as it could be, so I probably won’t be playing as smart as I could be and this may take me a whole lot of time to type up.
I’m going to get a few days of posts logged before I post the first one, in case I’m unable to keep up (I usually go fairly live with my playthroughs), but we’ll see what happens.
And who knows in the future things might be better.
Which brings me to today’s game:
In this tiny, tiny box is a HUGE HUGE game that will melt your brain 12 ways from Sunday.
The elevator pitch of the game is that you play an “Influencer” of some type, trying to get your Ideas spread out there into the world, influencing the 4 Spheres of the future: The First World, The Developing World, The Cloud and Space. You score points by solving Problems in those Spheres (like Aging, Social Immobility, Artificial Consciousness or just being plain ol’ Earthbound), dealing with Future Shock (But won’t teenagers use this technology for sex? Answer: Yes) and/or building factories (because the Eklunds love free and open business).
Ah, but were it only that easy.
Because the game has “PAX” in the title (and yes, I realize my last post was called “PAX Unplugged, but that PAX stood for, quizically, Penny Arcade), it is in a class of games that began with Pax Porfiriana.
What makes this game fascinating is that the winner is they who has the most points. Only there are 5 different kinds of points, and which points counts depends on the Regime in power at the end of the game. So you can try to have all the points of all the Regimes, or just go for one and fight like hell to make sure that’s the Regime in power.
Fighting like hell is kind of what Pax Porfiriana is all about. It’s a hoot, I recommend it.
Because of that, Pax Transhumanity is also a bit like that. So depending how the game ends, you get points for different things.
The game could end in a Singularity or Paradigm Shift, where one technology overwhelms the world and all the matters is how much Future Shock you managed to handle. Basically the world changed so much so fast, that the world looks to you as a savior for holding their hand the most through the uprising (“Thank you Mr. Jobs for making all this tech into big icons we can hit with our fingers instead of typing words onto a screen.”)
The game could end in a Tycoon victory when you just have factories all over the freaking place, and it doesn’t really matter what ideas have been put out there. (“Oh, Disney owns Amazon now?”)
The game could end in a Tipping Point, where one Sphere gets smashed down before the “Dominant Sphere” gets awarded points. (“We don’t care how much you built up India, we’ve passed the point where Earth can sustain the number of humans on the planet, but thanks to your success in space, we may be able to do something about it.”)
or finally there’s Plurality, where everything is worth a little bit of points. (“You’ve played through all the cards….so we’ve got to end the game somehow, right?”)
So what do you go for? Do you try to build factories to get the Tycoon victory?
Do you solve problems and dodge whatever Sphere will be smashed in the Tipping Point victory?
Do you “Quell Heat” and cover up Future Shock for a Singularity Victory?
And we haven’t even gotten to the rules yet.
So here is our playspace.
Um, it’s a little crowded. Let’s zoom in a bit.
First is our little player board. There’s our “pool” of unused bits, namely cubes that we can add to our wealth if our ideas infuse us with some cash, as well as discs that act as our factories. If we get all four down on the board and we trigger an action that would make us place a fifth, BOOM tycoon victory. The most straightforward of the victory conditions.
On the right side we see something that may look familiar to those that read my (aborted) playthrough of Pax Emancipation. This is where all the money in the game comes from. To generate a dollar, simply slide a cube down the ladder from Capital to Wealth or from Wealth to Debt (once Capital is out of cubes). As an action you can remove cubes from the board to huddle them all back onto Wealth, drag cubes from Capital to Wealth to drag cubes from debt up to Wealth and then finally drag them all back up to Capital. It makes the world go ’round ya’ll.
But that’s not the only source of money in the game. You can also sell patents.
Every time you drag a cube from the patents card back to your Wealth, you can as many dollars as that color is worth. So you see, the black player starts with a cube in Red (Assembly). Patent worth is judged by how many of that color is shown in the Human Progress Splay, which is just a row of colors that is conveniently below that patent card. At the beginning of the game, there is one random color there, in this example a green. So Red is worthless, but at least you’d get a cube back. But if Pink were to “Sell” their patent, they’d get one dollar and that cube back into their wealth.
As the game progresses, you’ll be doing the fundraise action less and less because you’ll earn more and more patents, and you’ll find that patents are worth more and more money.
Or you’ll find that whatever you’re doing isn’t earning you patents and your opponents are laughing at you…
And here we have one of our Spheres, the First World. It’s split into two sides, one for Ideas, and one for “Makers.” Or, I guess to be a bit pretentious, Philosophy and Entrepreneurship. The other spheres are likewise split into Freedom/Productivity, Security/Privacy and Astronautics/Robotics. But they’re split into the Research side and the Commercializing side. There’s also big ol’ stop signs showing, which are the Barriers. Again, those familiar with Pax Emancipations might remember that phrase. The more Barriers showing on a card, the more expensive it is to do anything there. If there’s an Employee sitting on a Barrier, then you can’t see it, and things will be cheaper (“I’m working on it!”). If there’s a factory on it, the same effect (“They’re working on it!”). There’s also two Utilities-in this case Western Universities and Defense Contractors. You can get work from them to get things done cheaper, but you can’t gain Patents that way. Because, duh, they’re doing the work for you. But work costs Barriers X Two. If you get Subsidized work at these Utilities, then it only costs as many Barriers are showing.
50% off! Cha-ching!
And now the Ideas themselves. There’s a lot going on here. You’ve got the colors on each edge, sometimes the same, like our Diamond Fiber (Red/Red), sometimes not, like Universal Property Directory (Green/Blue). This is important to see if the Idea is Viable to be Commercialized. We’ll get into that later as it’s the most in depth thing to wrap your head around in the game.
The other things to notice: The icons on the left are what you are awarded when you Commercialize the idea. Things like: Factories, our Diamond Fiber idea earns you a factory in the Developing World…because there’s a lot of diamonds there, and making super strong thread is useful. It also specifies the type of factory, in this case a “Maker” factory since this is a practical Idea over a philosophical one.
You can also be awarded “Problem Chits” for solving problems. Like the Diamond Fiber solving the Earthbound problem, since it allows for a Space Elevator (I’m assuming). The Universal Property Directory solves Disenfranchisement and Social Immobility. I would probably have to do a lot of reading to understand the whys and wherefores of that one, but that’s the joys of playing games like this one. The Universal Property Directory also causes a Exoglobal Recession Impact. How’s that for a mouthful? If you don’t deal with the Jealous Mobs (the little black square in the lower left/upper right of the card), then everyone loses an Employee to the pool. There’s also a White square called Shadow Rich on that card, too. If you Syndicate that Idea (basically put some resources there to work on it), you are forced to put a cube on the Shadow Rich as well, in order to deal with the “Heat” of that particular fear. Dealing with Heat can be points at the end of the game (See Future Shock way up above), or it can just lock up your resources. You have to spend actions to remove heat, and uncovered black heat is a dangerous thing. We’ll get into that later.
So that’s the basics of what the game looks like. You’re probably already tired, weeping slightly and might need a drink, so I’ll finish here and start the actual solo game tomorrow to give you some time to rest. So go talk to your robotic companion from Robotix, drink your Soylent, put some CBD under your tongue and take a nap. You’ll be fresh and new for tomorrow.
Though it often seems like tomorrow is now.

One common problem in most shower rooms and bathrooms is the increased moisture. When it lingers and has no or only a limited route to escape, moisture takes a toll on several materials, some of which are particularly vulnerable. Choosing the right materials when it’s time for a bathroom remodel is of the essence. And it’s important for three main reasons:
1. When you spend money on your bathroom renovation, you want long-lasting results. You don’t want materials that will only last for a little while and then they will make your bathroom look neglected again.
2. Moisture is not the only enemy of the bathroom furniture and flooring. Mold is, too. And mold grows when the levels of moisture are high, while the bathroom ventilation is poor.
3. The bathroom is a special room. It must be hygienically clean and when there’s mold, it’s not. This might affect your health.
One more thing about the materials you’ll use for your bathroom remodeling. We are talking about the materials used for the bathroom flooring, walls and furniture.
Naturally, whether or not there’s good ventilation in the bathroom affects the materials and how long they last. A bathroom with a big window and a good ventilation system will go gentle on the materials used in contrast to a bath with poor or no ventilation. Still, the materials must be resistant to the moisture to last longer and keep your bathroom beautiful.
Resistant bathroom wall options
Bathroom tiles are the traditional way to dress the walls. That’s not a bad idea. And the good news is that there are several types of tiles ideal for bathrooms, while the designs are excellent as well. If you opt for tiles, prefer porcelain or ceramic ones. The only disadvantage when it comes to tiles is the grout, which is absorbent and gets discolored overtime. To avoid mold down the road, you need to seal grout.
Another option to consider is concrete. Aesthetically speaking, it’s great for those who prefer solid hues, while the color choices are plenty. The main advantage is that this material provides a solid surface and so, no grout to seal. And it’s resistant to moisture when sealed from the start correctly.
Durable bathroom flooring choices
Concrete is great for the bathroom floor as well. Tiles are also okay but you’ll still have the same problem with the grout. Another great choice is sheet vinyl – that’s another (nearly) seamless floor option – absolutely necessary in a busy bathroom.
Best bathroom countertop materials
Engineered quartz countertops are top choices for bathrooms due to their great resistance to moisture. Unlike natural quartz, the man-made one contains polymer resins that make them particularly strong, elastic and resistant. They also contain pigments that allow you to choose any color.
Lately, crushed glass bathroom countertops are in vogue. There are two kinds. Some are made with concrete that embed glass and their appearance is mosaic-like, while the rest are made of acrylic and give the impression of liquid glass with glass fragments. Both are durable and resistant; those using acrylic are even tougher. The only downside here is that their corners may crack if they are pressed by a heavy object.
Concrete used for the walls and floors of the bathroom can also be used for the formation of countertops, furniture, sinks and tubs. The advantage here – besides the resistance of the material – is that this way, you create a bathroom free of any seams – and that will make it even more resistant to moisture.
Preferred bathroom fixtures
Choose stainless steel faucets and shower heads to keep them for a very long time. Another great option for bathroom fixtures is brass. It costs more, but it doesn’t corrode. Nickel is a more frugal choice and it will last longer than chrome but not as long as the first two choices.
When it comes to your bathroom remodeling, the cost is always an issue. Resistant materials are more expensive than materials susceptible to moisture. But it’s best to pay now more than having to renovate the bathroom again pretty soon. Ultimately, this will cost you even more. When it comes to choosing the best materials for a long-lasting bathroom remodel, one phrase should prevail: resistance to moisture.

Beam me up! Scotty leaves HS2 protest tunnel after 20 days
Third HS2 protestor resurfaces as part of 'tactical withdrawal'
Monday, 15th February 2021 — By Tom Foot
Scotty talking just before midnight (Sunday) before leaving the tunnel
A THIRD tree protector has voluntarily left the HS2 protest tunnels after an astonishing 20 days underground.
‘Scotty’ said he was resurfacing from beneath Euston Square Gardens as part of a “tactical withdrawal” that would help “save resources” for remaining protesters.
The 46-year-old is an environmental activist veteran and key player in the campaign against the Heathrow third runway, according to an HS2 Rebellion statement.
He was one of a group that moved underground into a huge network of tunnels dug covertly by environmentalists who had set up a camp in the green back in September.
Following a court order, a security team hired by HS2 has dug a tunnel parallel to the group underground. But its eviction officers are yet to break in to attempt to remove them.
Scotty said: “It’s been epic – 20 days in thus tunnel and now I’m ready to leave. I’ll have a cup of tea, see the medic and then I’ll be arrested. I’m sorry to come out but it makes sense for a tactical withdrawal to save resources.
“I said no more tunnels after the last one, but it has been an honour to be in this one with such a solid crew,” he said. “We are all committed to stopping HS2’s ecocide and to turning this horrific climate and nature emergency around.”
He added: “HS2 want to rip our communities apart – and they want us to pay for it with not just our taxes but our very future.”
Scotty had spent three days underground during similar underground protests against the HS2 railway in the Colne Valley parkland, west of London.
As Scotty left, Dr Larch Maxey who remains in the tunnel, said: “This isn’t going to stop with nine people down the tunnel, this is going to stop with thousands of people coming together.”
Last week, 17 year old “Rollie” left the tunnel voluntarily after ten days, following the departure of another teenager “Lazer”.
Both had before entering the tunnel been living in the camp that had for months been a sanctuary for homeless people before it was torn down as part of the HS2 eviction.
Rollie after leaving the camp with her ‘Eat the Rich’ earrings
Rollie, 17, said in a filmed interview yesterday (Sunday): “I was quite sick when I came out but I’m ok now.
“The trees have been decimated in Euston, but it was also the home of some of the most vulnerable people in this nation – and some of the most beautiful souls I’ve ever met.
“Hs2 does highlight the classism in our nation. We need to do all we can do address this, and help people of no fixed abode, the homeless and working class people who have had their lives torn apart by HS2.
“It’s not just about the ecocide, it’s about the social injustice as well. It’s all part of a toxic system that we need to dismantle.”
HS2 has got legal permission to seize control of Euston Square Gardens that is due to be flattened and partly used for a new taxi cab rank.
It is part of a huge redevelopment of Euston station and the surrounding area that is due to be completed in 2036.
Last week the New Journal revealed how HS2 has been given the green-light to work on maximising the “oversite development” of land once the station is built.
Several trees will be cut down in Euston Square Gardens although HS2 says it will replace any that are axed.
Following a court order last week requiring Dr Maxey to leave the camp, HS2 said in a statement said: “The decision of the Court is utterly unambiguous – that HS2 Ltd is carrying out the eviction correctly and that the illegal trespassers are breaking the law and should remove themselves from the tunnel immediately.
“We urge Dr Maxey to comply with the order as soon as possible – for his safety and the safety of the other activists and the HS2 and emergency personnel tasked with removing the illegal trespassers.
“HS2 will continue its operation to safely remove the illegal trespassers currently occupying an underground tunnel in Euston Square. HS2 Ltd was also awarded full costs.”

This Christmas please do spare a thought for my very dear husband. Christmas always makes me slightly emotional thinking of loved ones, the tree, heartwarming films and all the feel good stories at this time of year. When you pair this a lot of sugar, life becomes a rollercoaster of emotion. And my lovely husband always mops me up. This book really embodies that. It is the most wonderful heart-warming story that in the space of 10 minutes had me sobbing one moment and hooting with laughter the next.
Oswald T. Campbell is told that if he remains in Chicago in the winter it will be his last. He is advised to move to a warmer climate and after spotting a brochure about Alabama, decides to move to the town of Lost River. Once there, and convinced that he is due to live out his days as a lonely old man, he is quickly embraced by the community. All of which seem to be lost souls themselves. There is his landlady Betty, who was in the army for most of her life and sleeps in the under stairs cupboard; Roy, the shopkeeper, mourning his one true love who was forced by her family to marry another man and Patsy, a neglected crippled child, dumped on a woman who cares little for her. At the heart of this is Jack, a Red Cardinal bird, who after being injured as a chick is looked after by Roy at the store and is beloved by all. When Patsy's guardian lights out of Lost River, the community adopt her and with the help of Jack, Patsy begins to have a full and happy life. The residents arrange for medical treatment to correct her leg, but then tragedy strikes. The story ends at Christmas with a true miracle.
Spoiler alert, I'm going to give this novel 5 stars. It is just wonderful. The story telling and characterisation are simply sublime, with every minute and witty detail portrayed beautifully. There are feuds, a bride left at the altar, a secret society made up of the older ladies, in competition with another secret society of equally old ladies. At the heart of all this are Oswald, Patsy and Jack. For Oswald, abandoned as a child at an orphanage with a tin of Campbell's soup, feels a sense of disappointment with his life. But it is in Lost River that he finds his family. Patsy is delightful - sweet and uncomplaining and her bond with Jack is truly heart-warming.
There are so many stand out moments in the novel, but my favourite is when Mildred confronts the man who left her at the altar. I had tears pouring down my face with laughter. But it is Fannie Flagg's inbuilt talent as a storyteller that shines. She makes us fall in love with Lost River, its landscape, the beautiful wildlife and those sunsets. I found myself taking the cast of characters into my heart - sweet Roy, Frances, Claude the fishing loving postman and the comical ladies of the secret society. All are keenly observed and wonderfully painted.
This story is a real rollercoaster, at times it will destroy you, but then lift you up. Ultimately it will make you laugh and feel a sense of warmth and humanity. I would recommend having a box of tissues close by. But you will finish the novel with a glow in your heart and a renewed belief in miracles.

LOS ANGELES >> The Securities and Exchange Commission recently questioned Los Angeles Unified School District officials as part of informal inquiry into whether they properly used bond funds for a beleaguered $1.3 billion project to provide an iPad for every student.
Lawyers for the nation’s second-largest school district and an outside firm met at the SEC’s Los Angeles office in late March to answer questions about the use of bonds for the iPad project and whether officials had publicly disclosed how the funds would be used.
“They asked us to come in and present to them on the bonds themselves,” Thomas Zaccaro, a partner with the firm that presented information along with the district, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. “All in all, we don’t see any issue with the disclosures.”
Both SEC and LA Unified officials declined to comment. The SEC does not routinely confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.
Former LA Unified Superintendent John Deasy launched the initiative to provide an iPad for all of the district’s 650,000 students, but it faced trouble from the start. Students found ways to bypass security installations and freely surf the internet. Teachers said they hadn’t been properly trained to use the technology. Questions were raised after emails were disclosed showing Deasy had been in communication with vendors Apple and Pearson before the contracts were put to bid.
Deasy resigned under pressure in October. In December, FBI agents seized about 20 boxes of records form LA Unified as part of a federal grand jury probe.
On Monday, LA Unified general counsel David Holmquist sent a letter to Apple demanding it stop any further delivery of Pearson software and vowed to seek reimbursement for math and reading materials students have been unable to use. The vast majority of students still can’t access Pearson material on their iPads, Holmquist said.
Pearson declined to comment.
At the SEC meeting on March 31, Zaccaro said he and district officials showed that LA Unified had publicly disclosed bond use for computer hardware and software through investor presentations, presentations to rating agencies and to the public in board and county meetings. He also said because general-obligation bonds are repaid through county tax revenues, there is no connection between how proceeds are used and how they are repaid.
“There was a lot of public disclosure about the use of proceeds,” Zaccaro said.
Zaccaro said attorneys have not heard back from the SEC since.

One of the biggest challenges I face is trying to get my clients to renew your web hosting account on time.
As a web hosting reseller, I provide all of my clients with a login to their web hosting control panel. Since I manage and support their web sites for them, most of my clients never have any reason to use their control panel.
However once a year the client must log in to their control panel to renew your web hosting account and domain name.
To help make things easier, I have created a set by step tutorial to guide my clients through the process of renewing their web hosting account.
When To Renew Your Web Hosting Account
Clients should note that when you need to renew your web hosting account, two warning message will be sent to the e-mail address specified in your account contact information.
The first message will be sent 2 weeks before the web hosting account expires, and the second notification is sent 7 days before the account expires.
To avoid any possible downtime of your website, you must renew your web hosting account before the expiration date. It is very important that you do not let it expire. Upon the expiration date your web hosting account will be suspended.
Renew Your Web Hosting Account Online
Clients who host their websites with Durham Webs can log in to their web hosting control panel to renew your web hosting account.
Once inside your web hosting control panel, on the left hand side, you will see a section titled “Upgrades” click the “Renew Plan” link in the “Upgrades” section.
The next page shows the Renewal Table, you can see the Plan Type, the Expiration date, and the New Expiration Date in the Renewal Table.
Notice that you can also choose to renew your domain name and any service upgrades you have purchased at the same time.
The table lists the expiration date of the domain name, and the new expiration date of the domain name.
It is good practice to renew your domain name at the same time you renew your web hosting account, this will save you from having to go through the process again when your domain does come up for renewal.
To renew your existing domains and renew your web hosting account, make sure the box beside “Renew Domains” has a check mark inside of it.
You should also make sure that any domains that you wish to renew also have a check mark in the box beside it.
The only other thing you have to do is make your payment. To make your payment you simply choose the payment method you prefer, and press the next button.
You will be redirected to a secure payment page, and once the payment is successfully completed your web hosting account and your domain name(s) will be renewed.
I have created a video tutorial to show you how easy it is to renew your web hosting account. If anyone is confused or uncertain on the on process, this video should help make the instructions a little clearer.

Also known as 'Iris Diagnosis'
“Iridology, apparently, can only discern those things that cannot be verified or falsified. What you end up with is a medical cold reading – similar to what a mentalist does to create the illusion of mind reading or psychic powers. While “reading” the iris the iridologist can ask about certain health issues. If they are present, that is used to validate iridology. If absent, then the subject simply has a susceptibility for the missing problem…Iridology is an excellent example of pseudoscience in medicine, displaying many of the core features. It was invented by one individual based upon a single observation. It follows a pre-scientific notion of biology – the homunculus model. It lacks any basis in anatomy, physiology, or any other basic science…Anyone using or promoting iridology is, therefore, a pseudoscientific practitioner. Any profession that endorses iridology is not science-based and should be looked upon with suspicion.” Steven Novella MD, Science Based Medicine (21st December 2011)
“The concept of iridology is biologically implausible, not based on generally accepted scientific principles, and there is no evidence its methods are efficacious in detecting or treating human disease.” Campaign for Science Based Healthcare (2009)
“…iridology is of no value in diagnosing patients. Iridologists had no better than chance percentage of correctly diagnosing a patient and would often give a false-positive, diagnose them with a disease that they didn’t have, which could cause a patient mental anguish as well being financially expensive. More dangerous of course are false-negatives, not picking up on a disease they suffer from. For these people, seeing an iridologist could delay the proper medical diagnosis of their disease which, worst case, could prove fatal.” Skeptical Say How blog (19th January 2010)
"Research suggests that iridology is not an effective method to diagnose or help treat any specific medical condition." InteliHealth (May 2004)
"What is most peculiar about the iris is that each is unique and unchangeable, so much so that many claim that the iris is a better identifier of an individual than fingerprints". (The Skeptic's Dictionary)
"Besides repeated failures and an evidence vacuum, there is one other essential problem which iridology faces: iridologists agree that the markings of the iris change to reflect changing states of health. Yet the pattern of a person's iris, like their fingerprints, remains the same their whole life long, which is why, like fingerprints, the markings of the iris can be used for biometric identification." Skeptic Wiki (The Encyclopaedia of Science and Critical Thinking)
"Iridology is an alternative medicine practice in which patterns, colors and other characteristics of stromal fibers of the iris are examined for information about a patient's systemic health. Practitioners match their observations to iris charts which divide the iris into many zones believed to correspond to specific parts of the human body. Little if any rigorous scientific evidence exists confirming any such link between aspects of the iris and a patient's state of health and there is no recognized causative mechanism for any purported correlation." Includes a look at the history of iridology, methods used by iridologists, support for iridology, criticism of iridology, and scientific research into iridology. (Wikipedia)
“Iridology has been tested many times and has always failed. Nonetheless, it is still popular, particularly in Belgium and France.” James Randi (An Encyclopaedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural)
Iridology is not a useful diagnostic technique, producing results no better than guessing. Its use is therefore misleading, with a large risk of false-positive and false-negative diagnosis leading to inappropriate treatment or failure to treat. (Bandolier)
"Iridology is a method of detecting tiny defects or impurities in the iris. Their location and colour tell the iridologist which organ is endangered. Iridologists make several assumptions that are clearly out of line with our knowledge of anatomy and physiology." Edzard Ernst, British Journal of General Practice (May 2007)
"Iridology is considered to be scientifically implausible, does not meet professionally accepted standards, and lacks research and literature for efficacy and/or utility." Clinical practice guideline from American Speciality Health Inc. [ASH] (February 2006) [pdf]
Concludes that iridology was of no value in diagnosing the cancers investigated in this study. Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (June 2005)
"Controlled studies reveal that iridology is of no use whatsoever for the detection of cancer and other diseases in the stomach, intestines, kidney, lungs and heart…and it is concluded that this type of alternative medicine is not harmless." Dan. Medicinhist Arbog. (2003)
"Iridology is not merely worthless. Incorrect diagnoses can unnecessarily frighten people, cause them to waste money seeking medical care for nonexistent conditions, or steer them away from necessary medical care when a genuine problem is overlooked." Article by Stephen Barrett, CANOE (25th October 2000)
"The validity of iridology as a diagnostic tool is not supported by scientific evaluations. Patients and therapists should be discouraged from using this method." E. Ernst, Forsch Komplentarmed. (February 1999)
