We told you months ago that Puerto Rico debt was going to be downgraded by one or more of the three national credit rating services, Moody’s, Fitch or Standard and Poor’s before June 2014. On Wednesday Standard & Poor’s downgraded multiple issues of Puerto Rico debt to what the Puerto Ricans describe as “Chatarra”; that is, “Junk.” This afternoon Moody’s Investors Service joined in and downgraded the Puerto Rico General Obligation bonds to Ba2 from Baa3 and all of the other agency linked debt two more notches except the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and sewer Authority bonds which only went down one more notch to Ba1. In addition, Moody’s downgraded the prized Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation Bonds (COFINA Bonds) another notch which still leaves them with an investment grade rating. Moody’s outlook for all of these bonds remains negative.
We believe the Moody’s Standard & Poor’s downgrades of Puerto Rican debt will only accelerate the Commonwealth’s financial problems. The downgrades will increase the cost of debt service if they can ever access to public markets.
We expect a further decline across the board of at least 10% in all of the Puerto Rico bonds issued and outstanding and underlying the UBS closed-end bond funds. | 2019-04-25T14:50:51 | https://www.investorsrights.com/now-moodys-says-puerto-rico-debt-is-chatarra-junk/ |
How many times have you found yourself not being able to stay focused for some reason? And when this happened did you ever wonder why you weren’t able to stay focused sometimes, and then other times you had no problem staying focused at all.

How not staying focused is costing you a fortune while not even being aware that it is.
How costing you a fortune is not only about your finances.
The words you say that indicate whether you’re able to stay focused or not.

Follow the gentle ride of the humpbacked country lanes to the rolling rurality of Lancaster’s outer limits where you discover the idyllic village of Ellel, surrounded by blissful vistas over the South Lancaster countryside.
Awaiting you through a handsome gated entrance is the broad gravel driveway leading to Thornfield Barn. Stow the car away in the sizeable garage (which also has space for a workshop and log store) before turning to survey the 360 degree wraparound views of green pastures, rolling hills and even the sparkling sea of Morecambe Bay surrounding you here.
Approaching the friendly frontage of this quirky barn conversion, an immediate sense of peace and serenity pervades. Away from the rat race, Thornfield Barn is such an inviting and tranquil hideaway to return home to. Push open the front door and step into the welcoming glass panelled entrance hallway, plenty of space for coats and hats and the quarry tiled floor is ideal for muddy boots and wellies. | 2019-04-21T16:25:19 | https://www.v-move.co.uk/property/ellel-lancaster/ |

Or does it? Vermont’s countryside has a way of nurturing even tortured souls. The fields and the orchards—and hard-won love—are Bountiful.
We first met Zara in Bittersweet, book 1 of this series. She and Griff, the hero of Bittersweet, had been having a fling, but he broke it off before he met his heroine, Audrey. Later Zara turned up pregnant and refused to say who the father was. Turns out he was a summer fling she couldn’t find when she ended up pregnant. Professional hockey player Dave Beringer is unexpectedly back in town and shocked to discover the girl he never forgot is more than just a good memory..she’s the mother of his child. Figuring out a new normal when he never expected to have a kid is going to be rough…especially since he still isn’t over his attraction to his daughter’s beautiful mother.
Holly: I didn’t really connect with this book. I really loved the previous books in the series, but this one fell a little flat. I didn’t dislike it, but it didn’t grab me the way I thought it would.
Rowena: I had no problem connecting with this story. I thought it was wonderfully written and I really enjoyed seeing Zara and Dave come together again. I loved seeing two worlds that I am so in love with come together with Zara and Dave. It was so good to see Leo, Patrick and Dave’s other Brooklyn Bruisers teammates interact with Griff, Audrey and the rest of the True North gang.
I’m trying to remember if there was anything that I didn’t like about this book…nothing is coming to mind.
Holly: Maybe it was my reading mood, but I just didn’t fall into it the way I have the other books in the series (and the Brooklyn Bruiser’s series, for that matter). It moved slowly for me in places, and I didn’t understand the way Zara acted some of the time. Plus, there was a lot of build-up around their relationship and how they’d make it work, and then it just kind of…fizzled. I think I expected more bang after the way the tension was built up.
Rowena: What didn’t you understand about the way Zara acted? For me, I thought she handled the whole seeing Dave again and being honest about Nicole with him, really well. Sure, she needed a hot minute to get herself together but for the most part, I thought she handled giving Dave a chance great. She was unsure but knew that she couldn’t deprive her daughter of relationships that were her right to have. I really liked Zara. I liked her a lot more as a mother than I did a bartender. Her reasons for being so mute on who the father was in the previous books were good reasons and I thought she was a fantastic mother to Nicole.
Holly: The way she was so hot and cold with Dave is what threw me. She wanted him. She wanted to be with him. She wanted him as the father of her child. Then she didn’t want to be with him or start a relationship with him. Her pulling back halfway through the book made the I-Love-You’s seem to come out of nowhere, even though we’d had basically the entire book.
Rowena: When she explained why she felt the way that she did with Dave, I bought it and fell in line with how the both of them felt for each other. But you’re right, she was a bit hot and cold with Dave.
Holly: Sure, I get that she didn’t trust in a relationship with a guy she barely knew who was only going to be in town for a few months. But she refused to even have that conversation with him. He’d bring it up and try to discuss their future and she’d run scared. I get she was afraid, but I was surprised and slightly disappointed she wasn’t willing to even talk about it. Then, bam, all the angst is done? I just didn’t buy it. And honestly, Dave had more reason to be wary of a relationship than Zara. If he was willing to work at it with her, why couldn’t she do the same?
Rowena: We saw it differently then because I got it. Dave’s internal issues were about not trusting himself to be a good father because of his childhood and his past whereas Zara’s internal issues were about someone else letting her down time and time again. It was natural for her to see Dave being the kind of father she had growing up, especially since he told her himself that he was never going to have a family. It took her a little bit to get herself together and come around to the idea so I understood it. Because more than anything, she was trying to protect Nicole.
Holly: Eh, I disagree. Yes, she was let down in the past, but she had brothers, uncles and her mom who were all there for her. They didn’t let her down. So her claim that everyone in her life (that’s me adding dramatic flair..lol) let her down doesn’t hold water. And again, it’s not that I don’t think she had a valid point when it came to Dave, but her refusal to even discuss their future is what threw me off.
Rowena: She never claimed that everyone let her down. Just her Dad. She was scared that Dave was going to be just like her own Dad to Nicole. He perpetuated that by telling her that he never wanted to have a family. He was pretty adamant about that. He changed his mind and she didn’t trust it. What’s not to understand about that? Since her refusal to discuss it didn’t last all that long, I wasn’t mad about it. And you shouldn’t be either. Get over it, Holly. LOL.
Holly: But it did last a long time! Basically the whole entire book. But you’re right, I probably should get over it since it all worked out in the end. I should..but I probably won’t. Ha.
Rowena: I’m rolling my eyes at you. Seriously.
Holly: That’s not to say I didn’t like Zara. Because I did. But her hot and cold attitude threw me off. It just didn’t jive with the Zara we knew from previous books.
Rowena:Dave handled finding out he was a father pretty realistically, I think. I thought he did a lot of growing up over the course of this book and when he falls in love with Zara, I believed him. I loved that there wasn’t a thing that he wouldn’t do for Zara and Nicole. She needed him to deflect some attention away from her for an afternoon? Done. She needed him to step in and watch Nicole so that she can rush around for Audrey and Griff’s wedding? Done. He wasn’t the perfect hero but he was a good man. He loved deeply and I truly adored watching him bond with Nicole.
Holly: Dave was great. I loved how patient he was with Zara and how, even though he needed a minute to get his life figured out after she dropped her bombshell on him, he really stepped up. He was scared, but he did what he needed to do. I think where Zara lost me was that she seemed so confident and in charge, but kept pulling back from Dave.
Rowena: You think we’re going to get a book for Dave’s sister, Bess? I totally want that book….but not before Becca and Nate. Ha!
Holly: I really want Becca and Nate. I think we need to start a petition that their book is next. But yes, I definitely want Bess to get a book. I adored her.
Rowena: I think their book is next, at least in the Brooklyn Bruisers series so I’m not too worried about that. But yes, Bess is like LL Cool J…she needs love.
Holly: She does need love. So does May. I didn’t like her girlfriend at all. Maybe Bess and May will end up together.
Rowena: I can so get behind a Bess and May pairing. May’s boo thang was annoying af and she deserves way better than that. I’m curious if they’ll both get their own stories told.
Overall, I thought Sarina Bowen wrote another fantastic romance about two people who didn’t think they’d ever see each other again but did anyway. The sparks between Zara and Dave were bright and extra sizzling. Their romance was a sweet one and I loved the hell out of it. I loved this book just as much as I loved the other True North books and more than I loved Rookie Move. It was fun, sweet and I wanted to cuddle it close when I was finished with the book. So stinkin’ good.
I really enjoyed this book so I’m giving it a 4.75 out of 5.
Holly: I didn’t dislike this book, but it didn’t grab me the way I thought it would and Zara’s actions threw me. I’m giving it 3.5 out of 5. | 2019-04-23T22:32:01 | http://bookbinge.com/tag/brooklyn-bruisers/ |
Gail Hochman, president of the group, said that on Tuesday it sent a letter to its members, as well as to the DoJ, "outlining the position of the AAR Board on the settlement, and urging members (and their clients) to write their own feelings about the settlement to the Department."
I am writing to advise you that the AAR Board has unanimously voted to send the attached letter to the U.S. Department of Justice in opposition to the pending settlement with three publishers in connection with the antitrust lawsuit that the Department recently filed against Apple and five publishers. That letter was sent today. The case will continue against Apple and two of the publishers, Penguin and Macmillan, who declined to settle on the proposed terms.
The AAR is also arranging an open forum at which we will discuss the various elements of the suit and the proposed settlement for those who would like to hear more about it and join the discussion. Details to be announced. | 2019-04-19T16:29:50 | https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/51877-aar-urges-members-to-write-to-doj-opposing-antitrust-settlement.html |

The Syrian pound is the official currency of Syria. Currency code: SYP. Unit of currency: piastres (1/100). Currently, frequently used banknotes are 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 pounds and coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 pounds.
Please note that this exchange rate of Syrian pound to British Pound Sterling is not a buy or sell rate set by banks. Here you can see a mid-market exchange rate which is a mid-point between the buy and the sell prices based on the analysis of more than 100 exchange rate sources from around the world.
If you are planning a trip from the UK to some other country, you will be able to estimate your average trip costs and calculate how much money you will need for travelling. However, you have to keep in mind that the actual exchange rate of SYP to GBP will be slightly different from what we show here because the profit margin for buying or selling will be defined by the bank itself or by the exchange office which you visited. | 2019-04-22T16:43:01 | https://www.currs.info/syrian-pound/ |

Red Action: "At Least We Didn't Get The Racist Vote"
The 2% of those eligible to vote who backed the LSA in October’s Hackney Wick Council by-election have, according to the LSA, made them the “third biggest party in Hackney.” This comes as something of a surprise, not only to the IWCA, who have an eighteen month head start of working in the area, but also undoubtedly to the Tories, who were under the impression, that with nine councillors, they were the third biggest party!
Equally the Greens, with two councillors, had thought that they were fourth but have seemingly been overtaken by the 171 votes the LSA have amassed so far in Hackney.
If we go back 18 months we can look at the progress the LSA has made. Standing as “Socialist Unity” but including all the major players in the LSA plus the SLP, their candidate gained 37 votes with a leaflet that had a dense block of text calling for “the abolition of the monarchy and the House of Lords,” and stating that “the peoples of Scotland and Wales must have self-determination.” They felt that they needed to qualify this last point, by stating “We need the voluntary unity of the working people of England, Scotland and Wales against our common enemies" In case anyone was unsure, the international section of their leaflet stated “Saddam and his like are no friends of working people" And about the council by-election there was very little. Compared with this effort. The LSA has clearly made progress. Their leaflets in the recent by-election avoided the worst excesses of Leftie language, kept mainly to the issues relevant to a council by-election, and brought up class as an issue more regularly than socialism. They used bullet points to call for things like “affordable homes for working class people - not luxury developments for the few.” As a direct result of this improvement, they trebled their vote from 37 to 134, even though it was a bigger ward.
In addition, the LSA held a stall every Saturday on a pitch in the ward that was abandoned by the SWP two years ago. They were seen to have fought a good campaign on the doorsteps, but in fact only ran the kind of campaign that Labour ran in the ward up until the early 90’s.They put out two leaflets and claim to have carried out a 100% canvas, but this probably only means knocking on every door once.
Whilst the LSA claims publicly that their stance on asylum seekers is a “vote winner”, they are not quite so sure about it privately. In fact a briefing paper given out to canvassers stated that their support for asylum seekers was unpopular and suggesting ways around this. A reality underlined through the problems being experienced by the Lib Dems, who were standing the only black candidate. The response of the LSA candidate to this, was that as they had put support for asylum seekers on all their leaflets “at least we won’t get the racist vote” (the failure of the racist vote to turnout certainly cost the Lib Dem’s the seat they had taken from Labour with a 500, strong margin last time!). So while the LSA is happy to chase the Green vote, the ‘racist’ element in the working class is written off and left for the Lib Dems or the BNP to pick up. Isn’t the whole idea of the LSA contesting elections to get the ‘racist vote’ to think in terms of class instead?
As bad as the confusion, the LSA’s campaign was dishonest from start to finish. Not minor things like claiming their candidate was a “local resident” when she doesn’t live in the ward, but writing a leaflet before the campaign began which stated the “campaign has already attracted enthusiastic support from local nurses, firefighters and council tenants.” Despite the fact that the majority of council flats in the Ward have already been sold-off, Mike Marqusee’s article in Weekly Worker (14.9.00) stated that “local council tenants” would speak at the LSA public meeting. Of course this didn’t happen and was never going to.
In gaining 134 votes the LSA avoided humiliation, but the real issue is the 81.6% of potential voters who did not vote at all. The LSA did not cover this in their analysis. Of the result “an elated Diana Swingler”, the LSA candidate, said. “our vote is a positive vote for socialist politics.” Presumably the other 98% were not so positive about socialism.
If the result of the by-election were such a success, surely the LSA would want to build on it. However on the Saturday following the by-election the stall was back up in the same place, but was now fatally selling Socialist Worker and Socialist Review instead. At least some of the 134 voters who backed them would have felt conned. Rather than trying to build the LSA by showing that they would carry on with community politics after the election, the SWP instinct is to mop up any support for themselves.
The LSA improved on the “Socialist Unity” result only because they fought a better campaign and managed to focus on some local issues. In other words only because they changed. If progress is to continue, if the vainglorious boast of being Hackney’s “third biggest party” is ever to be realised, the scale of change will need to be root and branch. and not just electorally. | 2019-04-20T01:02:01 | http://www.redactionarchive.org/2012/03/at-least-we-didnt-get-racist-vote.html |
Since 2015, Danger Incorporated has experienced a meteoric rise to fame with Atlanta’s dialed-in teens and 20-something audience. In just two years, the group’s members, Louie Duffelbags and Boothlord, have signed with indie rap powerhouse Awful Records, toured across the U.S. and Europe, and released a handful of albums and singles. Their latest full-length, Danger Reality, garnered praise seemingly overnight, but the album delivers a disappointing break from the balance of Soundcloud pop-rap they’ve fostered so far. The album features no rap verses, minimal instrumentals, simple lyrics, and dissonant vocals. Unlike previous offerings, which have remained consistently smooth, Danger Reality’s catchier numbers such as “$$$/xoxo,” “Turn Around,” and “Superstars,” hit a sweet spot between electronic music and modern indie hip-hop production. The first single, “Casting Spells,” combines a minimal trap beat over chiming synths and elementary lyrics, such as “Walking fast / Blowing smoke / ATL / Making money moves.” This, along with other songs such as “IRL” and “Let It Out,” are juvenile regressions from the inventive promises of 2016’s Are You Afraid of the Danger Boys? and 2017’s Birds Fly By Night. | 2019-04-19T21:04:25 | https://creativeloafing.com/content-418228-RECORD-REVIEW-Danger-Incorporated |
The setting of Lavanda is lovely. The restaurant‘s wrap-around porch in the Towles Court Arts District is one of the most peaceful places to eat in Sarasota. It’s almost charming enough to not notice that we are, by about 35 years, the youngest people dining here. It was my birthday, and Gabriel had taken me, by request, to this restaurant that I’d heard so much about.
For someone who reads and writes reviews as frequently as I do, it is no one’s fault but my own that while the overall ratings for Lavanda are excellent, I ignored the fact that it’s simply not my taste. My favorite meals are inventive, exciting, unique. The food at Lavanda is classic, traditional, boring, bland. As soon as I looked over the menu I was concerned. Nothing on this list sounded at all inspired or new. This is the kind of food that feeds (and impresses!) the over 70 crowd who remembers old New York eateries for it’s dimly lit, stodgy, upper crust predictability and not for it’s cutting edge, melting pot, thrilling creativity.
I started with a half-size appetizer. (something worth noting is that I really appreciate half-sizes as an option. I often want a taste and not a filling first course) Steamed large shrimp over baby spinach, artichoke hearts, mandarin slices and toasted pine nuts drizzled with tahini tamarind dressing. The shrimp were large and fresh and the salad itself was a nice mix of flavors and textures- especially the fresh mandarin orange wedges and creamy dressing. There was nothing wrong with this salad- but I did not expect that it would be the best part of my meal. Gabriel had the warm mozzarella with tomato sauce started and I was not particularly impressed. This was not fresh, homemade mozzarella from what I could tell- and if it was, they should really take some brush-up lessons from the amazing owners at Mozzarella Fella on Main St. The tomato sauce was fine- but nothing special. The extra bread they brought us after we’d finished the 2 warm rolls they’d allotted us, was cold.
For my entrée, I had the scallops sautéed with cream, Amaretto and almonds with mashed potatoes and an odd spinach/chick pea side. Who puts chick peas with spinach on the side of scallops and mashed potatoes? That was just a very weird choice that really didn’t go with the meal at all. The scallops were fine- the mashed potatoes were good, the spinach side was just nothing but strange. Overall, it’s not that the food was bad, it was just so totally hum-ho, boring, sleepy, uninspired.
For dessert, we shared the lemon souffle and frankly, it was not worth it. I am VERY much a dessert person, so when a dessert makes me say ‘meh’, you know it’s pretty bad. The souffle was denser and wetter than it should have been, the flavor was more bland, than lemony, and the whole thing had nothing at all interesting about it. Just total blah. Let’s go home to have some ice cream instead.
Gabriel and I were aiming for a Thai restaurant in Bradenton that had been recommended to us. Luckily for us, after getting lost trying to find it, we finally arrived to find that it was closed. We did a quick search and found Thai Palace was nearby and had great reviews. Okay, change of plans and off we went!
During lunch, entrees come with either soup or salad. We both opted for the salad and when it arrived, we worried that it would be an indication of the entree portions. The salad consisted of approximately 3 bites of iceburg lettuce, one tomato, a slice of cucumber and a few shreds of carrot. Not exactly enough to take the hunger edge off. The peanut dressing was good, the basic one that is typically found in Thai restaurants, but not exciting enough to make us very optimistic about what was coming next.
When the entrees arrived soon after we finished our minuscule salads, we were pleasantly surprised right away. The presentation was lovely with a beautiful orchid and a fish shaped dish, and the aroma from both dishes was awesome. The pad thai with squid was excellent. I can easily say it was the BEST Pad Thai I’ve had since moving from NYC to Florida, and that alone is worth the 30 minute drive it took to get there. The balance of the salty, sweet, peanut sauce and the fresh sauteed squid couldn’t be better. The creaminess of a light coating of the sauce didn’t overpower or smother the consistency of the noodles. Big yum.
We also shared a delicious Panang Curry with Tofu. The curry sauce was blended with coconut milk and peanuts. The various fresh vegetables included carrot, mushroom, snowwpea, baby corn, bell pepper, celery, and zucchini. This sauce had so much complexity to it and we both couldn’t get enough. We actually ordered a second helping of rice- something that we really never do, because we couldn’t possibly let all of the extra sauce go to waste.
I was VERY happy that the little, boring salads were not at all representative of the abilities of the chef here. Our meal, overall, was far and away the best Thai food we’ve had in a while- and we go out for Thai food frequently. Although the drive is a little far, there is no question that both of us want to go back asap. Bravo Thai Palace! | 2019-04-18T20:23:20 | https://bigforkinmouth.com/tag/gabriel/ |

The Dining Saloon, where meals are served for officers, crew and guests not wearing working clothes. This is the nicer of the two messes, and working clothes are of course not appropriate here.
The Dining Saloon seen from another angle. Wall decorations, plants and general decoration add to the room's atmosphere.
The ship's gymnasium, equipped with workout benches, weights, table tennis, rowing machines, fitness bikes, treadmill, tv, stereo etc. Enough to give you a bad conscience if you don't use it once in a while!
In the Engine Control Room, going through the systems on the Integrated Control System computers during my evening round. All part of the watch duties as an engineer.
After the eastbound crossing of the Pacific Ocean, we reached Long Beach, California in the late morning.
We berthed just in front of a fellow Maersk ship, the pan-max sized Maersk Gironde. Pan-max means that the ship has the maximum dimensions allowed for a ship wishing to pass through the Panama Canal. If you ever wondered why there are so many ships in the world with a length of around 293 meters and a beam of 32 meters, this is the reason. Sofie Maersk is a so called post-pan-max, meaning she is too large to use the Panama Canal.
Another Maersk ship on our other side, a former P & O Nedlloyd vessel. Maersk ships are very frequent guests in Long Beach.
Berthed in Long Beach, California. We arrived on a friday, and didn't leave until sunday evening, giving us three days in California. I was lucky to be able to go ashore two of the days.
Waiting at the gate during shore leave, I took a photo of the trucks that carry the many containers to and from the ships.
A taxi fare from the port to Long Beach city is around 20 dollars.
Looking back, past palm trees, at the Sofie Maersk on our way towards the city of Long Beach.
Down town Long Beach, California. We went ashore around 5 in the evening, but some places were luckily still open. We decided, however, to take the train to Los Angeles and Hollywood Boulevard, as this was a place we really wanted to see.
Waiting at the train station in Long Beach. Very nice, clean and streamlined, actually.
A first look down Hollywood Boulevard, early friday night, after a good hour's train ride. Magic place, with so many places to see!
A gathering of people surrounded some street performers who were dancing and playing music. This is a very common sight on Hollywood Boulevard, and along with all the neon lights adds to the special atmosphere of the place.
The world famous footprints, handprints and autographs of Hollywood celebrities in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Here I found Walter Matthau's, one of my favorite actors.
Late in the evening we sadly had to find our way back towards Long Beach and the ship, in order to catch the last train. This is one of the subway stations on Hollywood Boulevard. Very clean and tidy, and with streamlined train service.
A look inside the train towards Los Angeles Grand Central Station. Packed to the rim almost, with people having enjoyed a friday night in Hollywood.
Saturday morning and Long Beach, as seen from my cabin. I had engine watch duty all saturday, and couldn't go ashore, which was unlucky since I suddenly remembered that the Queen Mary was berthed somewhere close, and I really wanted to see the old ship. Fortunately, sunday afternoon I had time to go ashore again.
Having an interest in old ocean liners, visiting the Queen Mary had long been a dream of mine, so this was a very welcome opportunity for me and of course an easily chosen destination for the sunday shore leave.
Having just come on board at the promenade deck, I found the ship's old bell.
The promenade deck, oozing history, atmosphere and time gone by, yet still it was like stepping into the past. What an experience! This is where travellers for more than 30 years went for an evening stroll as the mighty liner crossed the Atlantic.
The boat deck of the Queen Mary, starboard side. Queen Mary was ordered in 1929 and entered service in 1936. It's been laid up in Long Beach since 1967. | 2019-04-25T15:52:24 | http://patrix.dk/sofiebil2.html |

Authorship of this guest post is credited to Jeremy Spool – post-doctoral researcher at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Caitlyn Hall – Ph.D. student in Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University, Jeff Brookins – Ph.D. student in Materials Science and Engineering at University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Brian Canter – Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at Rutgers University. They attended the AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering workshop this past March.
In January 2018, Jeremy Spool attended a conference where a National Science Foundation (NSF) representative outlined, over the deafening sound of rolling eyes, the uncertainty surrounding the budget. NSF and several other basic research-sponsoring federal agencies faced enormous funding cuts in the White House’s fiscal year 2019 budget proposal. While Congress didn’t follow through with proposed cuts, scientists were reminded of their vulnerability to policy decisions. Yet, many of us who make our careers in fundamental research actively avoid engaging with our representatives or the science policy world.
Despite coming from different parts of the U.S. and working in different fields, we were inspired to incorporate science policy into our intended career paths in academia, industry, NGO, and government research. We serendipitously met at a happy hour and the next day, braving the snow and wind, embarked on Capitol Hill meetings together. After these shared experiences, we felt energized to continue engaging in science policy. However, once we returned to our lives as graduate students, we ran into barriers. We recognize that the barriers we encountered, including time constraints and uncertainty about how to start, are common among early career scientists. So, here’s what we did about them.
Becoming involved doesn’t mean you have to run for political office, although we wouldn’t discourage it! As early career researchers, we have a range of differences in both our desire to engage and our time available to commit. And that’s okay! Sustainable options for engaging in science policy exist for everyone.
2) Find other interested scientists at your institution. If you already have a science policy-focused program at your school, that’s awesome! Otherwise, start a group with other interested scientists. Brian relaunched the Science Policy and Advocacy at Rutgers (@SciPolRU) group and Caitlyn started the Arizona Science Policy Network (@AZSciPolNet). They became affiliated with the National Science Policy Network (NPSN; @scipolnetwork) because, like the Avengers and Justice League, it’s better to organize together.
3) Connect with the federal and state relations staff at your institution. Jeff and Jeremy have found that the staff in these offices are friendly, excited about their work, and invaluable connections to make in your community. Brian has scheduled a Science Policy and Advocacy at Rutgers event with their federal relations office. Government relations offices have an established network and can easily connect you with the right people.
4) Identify and apply for opportunities through your professional societies. We were surprised to learn how active our organizations were in facilitating members to engage in science advocacy. For example, Jeremy recently learned that the Society for Neuroscience has a science advocacy network and an ambassador program suited for graduate students. Caitlyn is helping organize additional science policy efforts for early career scientists at the AGU Fall Meeting. Brian writes a policy and advocacy section for the Radiation Research Society’s Scholars in Training monthly newsletter.
5) National organizations provide other avenues for getting involved in science policy. AGU is also actively involved in science policy and has accessible resources and engagement opportunities for scientists on their Science Policy page. AAAS hosts workshops and professional development opportunities throughout the year. The Engaging Scientists & Engineers in Policy (ESEP) Coalition is an established network of interdisciplinary scientists with science policy interests, offering a wealth of free materials such as an introductory webinar series about tools for science advocacy and communication. Research!America has partnered with the NSPN in empowering graduate students to engage congressional candidates about the importance of federal funding of scientific research. Engineers and Scientists Acting Locally (ESAL) empowers scientists to engage at a local level, where barriers to being involved can be smaller than at the national level.
We didn’t start with any science policy experience. However, by following science policy-focused social media accounts or joining an association active in science policy discussions, we began to gain insight to current events and ways to communicate effectively with members of Congress and their staff. Taking steps to engage in science policy helps ensure that the United States federal government continues to fund and appreciate the value of fundamental research. These are the steps we found worth taking. | 2019-04-20T16:47:16 | https://thebridge.agu.org/2018/10/10/the-elephant-in-the-lab/ |
What is Data Protection Principle Seven, and what does it mean for you?
Home / Blog / What is Data Protection Principle Seven, and what does it mean for you?
The 1998 Data Protection Act sets the rules for how UK businesses can gather, store and use people’s confidential data.
The Act is organised around eight principles of data protection. They include the idea that personal data should be obtained and processed fairly and lawfully, that only the right data should be used, that data should be accurate and so on.
Basically, this means that firms must do what they can to stop data falling into the wrong hands, and to protect it from being lost, damaged or destroyed. Since every business has different data and business processes, each one needs to decide its own approach to information security. However, it’s definitely worth considering who will take responsibility for security issues and making a contingency plan for how you’ll react if your security is breached.
With so many high-profile hacks and digital security breaches in the headlines these days, it’s easy to focus on the importance of keeping ‘live’ data safe. But it’s equally important to safeguard data that has fulfilled its purpose – particularly when you consider Principle Five of the Data Protection Act, which says that personal data must be disposed of when no longer needed, not held indefinitely.
To guard against ‘accidental loss’, as Principle Seven stipulates, any firm handling personal data should have a contract with a company who can handle confidential waste and guarantee that collection and destruction are fully secure and compliant. That means meeting European Standard BS EN 15713:2009 for security shredding and also BS 7858 for staff vetting.
The standards cover every aspect of data destruction providers’ business, from the security of premises through to hiring the right personnel. It also extends to any subcontracting arrangements, the security of vehicles used for transport and the use of written contracts.
When you hear the word ‘shredding’, it’s natural to think of paper records. But shredding is also the best way to dispose of digital data. Simply deleting a file doesn’t guarantee that it can’t be recovered in the future. The only completely secure way to dispose of old hard drives, data tapes, CDs or microform media is to put them beyond use by physically destroying them – and a shredding company can help here too.
Even items that don’t contain personal data, such as branded products and uniforms, could cause real problems in the wrong hands. Fortunately, they can all go in the shredder too, guaranteeing they can’t be used to endanger an organisation’s reputation in the future. | 2019-04-21T10:15:52 | https://www.shredstation.co.uk/blog/data-protection-principle-seven/ |

lumbar protection panel to deliver a hybrid pack that will appeal to many.
Henty is a Tasmanian company that’s been producing travel and commuter bags for more than 5 years now, and this seems to be their first product aimed at the mountain biking market.
The Enduro pack is a 5-litre capacity pack that sits low on a shoulder harness, with a wide waist belt – It’s rumored to take design inspiration from military webbing, which is obvious by comparison.
Sits low and stable on your back.
Very breathable back and shoulder mesh.
Hydration bladders up to 3 litres.
For me, this finally takes a middle position between taping a minimal kit to your bike and carrying a full pack. I always carry tubes, a pump, a few small spares and multi tool, as well as water. I usually also stash my phone, wallet, and keys. The Henty Enduro is perfectly proportioned to carry this amount of gear.
Finer details are taken care of too, like the adjustable straps on the waist and chest bands, which all have velcro and elastic loops so you can secure any webbing tails to keep it as clean and functional as possible.
Fitting the pack as low as possible on your back works great, so the weight is sitting on your hips. Because of the wide lumbar pad, it sits nice and tight against your lower back. The shoulder harness keeps it even more secure, so while riding it doesn’t move about nearly as much as a regular pack – This is most apparent while changing direction at speed, you’ll no longer be thrown off balance by your pack swinging sideways.
Overall I found it to be incredibly comfortable, through a combination of less movement, less sweat build up, and more stable.
Included loops on the back panel and shoulder straps allow a few options for routing the water bladder hose, including a vertical tab if you need to attach a magnetic hose clip. The chest strap is adjustable vertically on rails too, for a perfect fit.
Made from 500D Cordura nylon, it’s basically as tough as you’ll ever need. Although I’ve only spent a few weeks with it so far, I can tell from the build quality and materials I’ll be using it for a few more years yet.
The lumbar protection panel is a nice feature that adds a safety functionality That might not be the biggest selling point but it’s certainly a welcome addition – Anyone who’s taken a tumble onto their lower back will understand the pain.
It’s obvious the Enduro is easy to use, as it only has a few zips and buckles to contend with. Webbing straps on the exterior might allow adding accessories, and there are some velcro strips for your favourite patches. My one gripe would be that the main bag is closed with a webbing buckle, but it’s not adjustable. I’d like to have a few inches of webbing so I could fit my wind jacket in there without really stuffing it.
On the back panel, there are some elastic loops that I found held my gear really well, but I still worry that something’s going to come loose and get left on the trail – I would have preferred a few small zippered pockets but I haven’t lost anything yet.
While there’s more to the Enduro than first meets the eye, it remains a functional piece of equipment that delivers a solid set of basic features without wasting space or weight.

The Family & School Association is an integral component of the school. The officers of the Association, under the direction of the principal and pastor, hold regularly scheduled meetings for all families to discuss school fund-raising activities, needs and events. All families of Assumption Catholic School are expected to attend these meetings in order to keep abreast of the latest FSA information. Those parents who attend every meeting will have their name entered in a tuition raffle at the end of the school year. The dates for FSA meetings are published in the school calendar at the beginning of each school year.
The primary purpose of the Family & School Association is to contribute to the financial support of the school. Since its inception in 1963, the FSA has been of great assistance to the school through various fund-raising projects. With your help, much can be accomplished for the spiritual, physical and cultural growth of our children. | 2019-04-26T16:20:50 | https://assumptioncatholicschool.net/about-us/fsa/ |
Ueli and I slept in a little bit before heading out to explore the city. Jonathan had schoolwork to prepare so he stayed at the apartment. We took the T into the city - we got pretty lucky because the train seemed to wait at the stop for 5 minutes until we boarded. In the city, we decided to keep on going with the train all the way to Cambridge, so that we would get the most of our 1-way ticket. So after navigating the somewhat confusing corridors of the Park St station, we got on the red line, which is more of a subway yet still goes above ground over the Charles River, and soon were in Cambridge. At the station, Harvard Square, there were people soliciting tours and others giving out samples of energy bars. I took a free map from one of the tour people, and we walked into Harvard Yard.
We explored Harvard for a bit, and I was very hungry as we entered the Science Building, so I instantly beelined for the cafeteria and got myself a calzone (which was packed with meat). After eating, we continued walking around and eventually wound our way back to the Harvard COOP, where we browsed books for a while and Ueli ended up buying an American English phrasebook. There was a girl performing on her acoustic guitar outside in the alleyway. We walked all the way along Massachusetts Avenue to MIT, where we rested for a few minutes with some cold drinks from Dunkin' Donuts. It was a warm and sunny day, as pleasant a day as you could wish for. We walked through MIT for a bit, then headed to the Charles River, which we crossed back into Boston. We walked up Beacon Hill then emerged near the Massachusetts State House and Boston Common. There I found the Freedom Trail, a well-marked path that links the major historical sites of interest in central Boston. With tourists and 18th-century dressed tour guides all around, I decided to follow the Freedom Trail and see the major sights.
We first entered a historic cemetery that houses the remains of Paul Revere, John Hancock, the victims of the Boston Massacre, and Benjamin Franklin's parents. We continued along the trail, stopping by a historic church (that Paul Revere attended), the old city hall, and the Irish Famine Memorial, which is in a nice city square with live musicians playing. The trail then led us to the Old State House, past the site of the Boston Massacre, and to Faneuil Hall. There was a street performer drawing quite the crowd. We then walked through Quincy Market and toward the North End, which is Boston's thriving Italian neighborhood. The streets were narrow and filled with small restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and convenience stores - it felt very European. We made our way past Paul Revere's house and then to the Old North Church. It's amazing how much history is contained in such a small walkable distance - this is where the American Revolution was bred and really started!
All the walking got me pretty exhausted, so we headed back over the freeway to the Government Center T stop. We entered and waited for maybe 20-25 minutes before our train arrived (several other trains passed, all going to different destinations). The station was loud (especially when the trains squeaked as they exited the station) and became pretty crowded. Finally our train came, and after a stop or two, it was soon PACKED full of people. I luckily had a seat, but I had no space to even move my legs; Ueli didn't like being crammed in with so many people either. The train then made its way back, and we got off a couple stops early so that I could shop for a potentially new backpack or sleeping bag. I had to ask a dry cleaning store clerk where the sporting goods store was, and she directed us to it. There, at Eastern Mountain Sports, the employees were friendly and helpful, but I really wasn't sure if I wanted what they were selling - I didn't really need new things, and the prices were a little too much for my budget. So I left without getting anything. Then at the liquor store, they refused to sell me alcohol because Ueli didn't have his ID. WTF, I can't believe they're that strict. I was annoyed to say the least. So I just left and powered back to Jonathan's apartment and let myself in. Jonathan returned shortly later from class. | 2019-04-20T22:51:40 | http://www.jasonsavestheworld.com/2011/06/exploring-cambridge-and-boston.html |

Wow! A Chess Grandmaster at age 12!!!
ChessBase.com has just reported that Sergey Karjakin of the Ukraine has achieved his 3rd and final norm for the Grandmaster title. He breaks the previous record of China's Bu Xiangzhi (13 years, 10 months, 13 days) by earning the title at an unbelievable 12 years, 7 months, 0 days!
With a FIDE rating of 2523, the young Ukrainian achieved his feat at an international chess tournament in Sudak, a town on the Crimea Peninsula, Ukraine. Karjakin (pronounced car-yack-kin) had gained his second GM norm in the category 8 (2427) Alushta-100 tournament in the Ukraine. He scored 9.5/13 to share first equal in the tournament with GM Evgenij Miroshnichenko.
Karjakin also served as one of GM Ruslan Pononmariov's seconds in the recent FIDE World Championships. Ponomariov, also from the Ukraine, was impressed with his incredible tactical vision. | 2019-04-20T20:54:06 | http://www.thechessdrum.net/newsbriefs/2002/NB_SKarjakin.html |
Washington: The fight against international terrorism cannot be successful by doing deals with terror groups for short term gains, India has said, as it asked for a comprehensive global movement against the menace.
“You cannot have a fight against international terrorism which is compartmentalised. The snakes that bite us wherever come from the same pit," Indian ambassador to the United Nations, Hardeep Singh Puri told CNN, wherein he along with his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts to the world body had a rare combined appearance on a TV show.
“You cannot do Faustian deals with terrorist groups, so I think you need a comprehensive international movement against the terrorists, and I hope that all of us who are involved in this will carry this fight through until the end so that all of us are victors in this," Puri argued.
Pakistani Ambassador to the UN, Abdullah Hussain Haroon along with the Afghan ambassador to the world body, Zahir Tanin were present on the occasion.
Responding to a question, Puri said that there is no suggestion ever that a diversion of Pakistani military assets from one border to the other to fight the people who really need to be fought would result in any Indian adventurism.
“I don’t think that’s the kind of ambience that we are presently in," he said, when asked about the apprehensions expressed by Pakistan in this regard.
Observing that India is for a joint fight against terrorism, Puri said: “All that we would like to see if all of us taking the actions required against the perpetrators of these crimes."
Responding to the same question, the Pakistani Ambassador, Haroon, said: “I think that the Indian Ambassador is absolutely right. For quite a while now, we are aware that India is not—at one stage, there were a few exercises taking place. We sort of merely asked-is this something more than that?, and they moved away."
“I think there is a very definite indication that there is no hostility meant. And I think the meetings between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Gilani, and now one that will happen most probably in the Commonwealth conference, is indicative of the fact that they are talking to each other and they had many offers of senior ranks for talking to each other, as well," he said.
The Afghan ambassador Tanin said that Kabul, Islamabad and New Delhi, now all share the same goal on terrorism.
“What is happening, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, they share one goal, how to fight terrorism, how to have a stable region. We also are facing a shared common challenge that is terrorism and extremism, as you say it. And we know that, three of us. We work here together. And I’m sure that is the same understanding amongst all the leaders in Kabul, Islamabad and Delhi," he said. | 2019-04-26T14:09:35 | https://www.livemint.com/Politics/vslnIFAG3AjNdqz14BtgrO/Need-a-comprehensive-global-movement-against-terror-India.html |

Before we get started, let’s go over a few things so that everyone is on the same page.
The single responsibility principle can be explained in the following way. The class you created should do one thing and one thing only. It should also have all the information it needs internally to do what it needs to do. This means that you should not be using globals.
Why is it so hard to do with WordPress?
At its creation, WordPress wasn’t designed with objects in mind. Developers built WordPress by giving it simple APIs that were easy to use. These were great for new PHP developers. Maybe that’s how you got into PHP and even programming. That said, they can be confusing when you’re trying to apply object-oriented programming concepts. This is especially true for the single responsibility principle.
Have you already started playing with object-oriented programming? If so, you might have done a plugin where all the code was in a class. It’s pretty common for developers to do that.
That’s because it makes it easy for you to namespace/prefix your code and prevent errors. It’s even recommended in the official WordPress documentation. But building your plugin this way is problematic. It leaves you with an enormous class containing all your functions.
Doing things this way doesn’t offer you any advantages over just using a function prefix. It also doesn’t follow the single responsibility principle. Your class has no purpose because it does everything.
Now that we covered some initial bases, let’s get into the meat of this. Let’s help you use the single responsibility principle to build a WordPress plugin. I am a big meme fan so we will creating a small WP Meme Shortcode plugin as an example.
So to create this plugin, you need to think about the tasks your plugin needs to do. In this case, you don’t have to worry about too much. For this, we will divide the tasks into four parts.
First of all, you need a class that acts as the entry point to your plugin. It’s the starting point for WordPress when it loads your plugin. It should handle the registration of all the components. It’s also in charge of fetching the information the plugin needs to function.
It’s important to point out that the job of the entry point is not to add all the hooks and filters for the entire plugin! This goes beyond the responsibility of this class. How to handle hooks and filters is important enough that it will get its own section further in the article.
I usually name this class Plugin. This might seem like a bizarre naming decision to you. But there’s a valid reason! The idea is that, if WordPress had to only be aware of one class, plugin would be the logical name to use in that context.
For now, our WPMemeShortcode_Plugin class is pretty much empty. We put a placeholder static method called load. It’ll load the plugin into WordPress for us.
You want a single class to have the responsibility of retrieving and saving options. This removes the need for the other parts of your plugin to handle the storage of their options. All they need to do is interact with your class to get the option they need.
When you only have a few options, creating a class for options might seem like overkill. So, if you had to fold that responsibility into another class, it should be the Plugin class. You should still practice splitting it off into a separate class even for small plugins.
* value does not exist.
* Checks if the option exists or not.
* Sets an option. Overwrites the existing option if the name is already in use.
We designed our WPMemeShortcode_Options class around a specific idea. It’s that we’ll store all our options in a single array. All our methods interact with it.
By using the settings API, it is quite straight forward to create a class to handle your admin page(s). The class would handle the registration of all the settings as well as the rendering.
* Adds the admin page to the menu.
* Configure the option page using the settings API.
* Renders the admin page using the Settings API.
* Renders the general section.
* Renders the size field.
If you have several admin pages, it would be appropriate for you to split each page into its own class. You could also use inheritance and put the code common to all admin pages in its own parent class.
In the same way as your admin page, your shortcode class will be interacting with the WordPress shortcode API. It will handle registering the shortcode and generating the output.
Whether you’re working on a WordPress theme or plugin, you have to use hooks and filters. It’s fundamental to WordPress itself. Now, if you’re trying to move forward in your quest for object-oriented supremacy, this is where you might be struggling. What do I do with hooks and filters when I use classes to contain my code?
Putting all the hooks and filters in the constructor.
Creating a new object. Using that object and registering all your hooks and filters outside the class.
Neither options is that great. Creating an object shouldn’t add the hooks and filters by default. There could be situations (like for testing) where you want to create the object without adding the hooks. By having code outside the class for hooks and filters, you’re robbing the class of a key part of its responsibility.
The better way to solve this issue is by using a static method as a custom constructor. The function creates an instance of your class and uses it to register the appropriate hooks and filters. This allows you to separate the registration your hooks and filters from the construction of your object. I normally call the function ‘register’ or ‘load’.
* Register the admin page class with all the appropriate WordPress hooks.
Beyond hooks and filters, static methods are a great way to isolate your code from WordPress. They allow you to handle a lot of WordPress functionality beforehand. This also goes back to the idea that your class should have all the information it needs internally. It should not rely on outside information to work.
* Load the plugin options from WordPress.
To be clear, you should use WordPress functions if they make sense inside your class. WordPress has tons of useful helper functions that you should make use off. That said, functions like ‘get_option’ don’t help your class do its job. That is why they are good candidates for extraction into a static method.
So this is quite a lot to digest. Maybe you have a headache at this point? You might even be wondering if it is worth the trouble. So If you got this far, I will leave you with a few reasons to care about the single responsibility principle.
Where do I put this function?
Where did I put this function!?
Oh God! What was I thinking!
You know you have! That’s why, if each class has only one job, it makes your code easier to understand and read for you and others. In most cases, you don’t have to wonder where you put a function or where you should put it. That decision is almost made for you.
By having your classes do only one thing, you’re making all your code more robust. For example, let’s say that every class is in charge of getting its own options. You decide that you have to many individual options, you want to use an array.
You would then have to track down all the code in your plugin and make the changes there. Each individual change could create a bug. Having a single class in charge of options means that you only need to make that change in one location.
Unit testing is not something that a lot of WordPress developers do (yet!). That said, when your classes specialize in one thing, they are easy to test and mock. This makes testing a lot less painful if you ever decide to do it. Using a static method as a constructor to isolate some of the WordPress functionality also helps with this. | 2019-04-18T10:18:05 | https://carlalexander.ca/single-responsibility-principle-wordpress/ |
RABBITOHS coach Anthony Seibold says all the pressure is on the Roosters ahead of next week’s blockbuster preliminary final between the two arch-rivals.
Lighting the fuse immediately after the Bunnies edged the Dragons in a 13-12 thriller at ANZ Stadium, Seibold said his side can go into the game with a nothing-to-lose mentality because of the swag of big-money signings that descended on Moore Park at the start of the season.
“I think before a ball was kicked this year the Roosters were probably everyone’s tip to be in the grand final and minor premiers with the recruits they had,” he said.
He also said the sustained success of the club in recent years should ensure the Tricolours are considered heavy favourites in next Saturday’s local derby.
“They’re the minor premiers and I think they may have been in four of the last six preliminary finals and there’s a fair bit of pressure on them,” he continued.
“So, we’ll go there and give it a red-hot crack.
He also tried to downplay the significance of the unavailability of suspended stars Latrell Mitchell and Dylan Napa.

Square D Arc Fault Circuit Breaker Product Recall – Square D is working in conjunction with the Consumer Products Safety Commission on a voluntary recall of the Square D arc fault interrupter (AFI) circuit breakers manufactured between March 1, 2004 and September 23, 2004.
Square D’s own testing indicates that the arc detection capability may become inoperable in these breakers due to the failure of an internal component in the electronic detection circuit. They discovered that the circuit breaker will not properly detect or interrupt a high resistance low current arcing fault. They report that the short circuit and overload interruption capability of these breakers continues to function properly. This means that the circuit breakers will continue to provide the same level of protection offered by a standard circuit breaker, but will not provide the additional arcing fault protection required by local building codes in many municipalities.
Square D’s message; you have associated the Square D brand with industry leadership, safety, quality, reliability and innovation for over 100 years now. You can be assured we will act quickly and appropriately to ensure you receive the quality products and services you have come to expect from us. Call our AFI Breakers Recall Center toll-free 1-877-202-9046 with question or for more information.

Ohio Case May End Tax Incentives and Impact Construction Projects - Reversing the decision of a federal district court judge, a three-judge appeals court panel in Cincinnati ruled Sept. 2 that Ohio and the city of Toledo violated the U.S. Constitution’s Commerce Clause and its provisions against discriminatory taxes on interstate commerce by granting a break in 1998 on some corporate income taxes to DaimlerChrysler AG. In exchange, the automaker expanded its existing Toledo Jeep production plant by building a new $1.2-billion vehicle assembly plant nearby. The ruling may signal an end to the days of unlimited giveaways and force states, counties and cities to reevaluate the rich trove of inducements needed to attract manufacturers and their construction projects.
Economic development officials suggest that one possible outcome is a re-evaluation of what works and does not work in attracting employers. DaimlerChrysler and the state of Ohio say they will request a review by the entire Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Erico Releases Technical Report of the Service Life of Ground Rod Electrodes – ERICO has released a technical report of the service life of a ground rod. This report is intended to provide the electrical industry with technical information that will facilitate the proper application of ground rod electrodes. In addition to its electrical design and function, the grounding system must also be qualified based on the corrosion resistance of its component parts. Electrical elements buried underground are subject to much harsher conditions than their counterparts that reside above-grade or inside a structure. The ability of an electrical grounding component to resist corrosion determines its service life. Corrosion itself is a complicated phenomenon that has an entire engineering community dedicated to its study and prevention.

Schneider Electric acquires MGE UPS Systems - Schneider Electric has begun a process to fully acquire MGE UPS Systems for an estimated enterprise value of about EUR 850 million (U.S. $1 billion). The transaction should be complete in the first quarter of 2004, pending approval by anti-trust authorities, notably in the U.S. and Europe. Schneider Electric signed two agreements under which it will increase its stake in two stages. The first of which is the acquisition of a 52.6% interest, which corresponds to all of the stake held by legal and general ventures and ABN Amro and about half of the interest held by MGE UPS Systems’ management and employees, for EUR 298 million (U.S. $375 million). The second stage is the acquisition in 2006 of the remaining 15.1% for a price based on MGE UPS Systems’ 2005 EBITA level.
Scientists Create New Form of Matter - Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s joint lab with the University of Colorado, who led the study, say they have created a new form of matter and predict it could help lead to the next generation of superconductors for use in power distribution, more efficient trains and countless other applications.
The new matter form is called a fermionic condensate, and it is the sixth known form of matter — after gases, solids, liquids, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate, created only in 1995. The cloud of super-cooled potassium atoms brings researchers one step closer to an everyday, usable superconductor — a material that conducts electricity without losing any of its energy.
Telecomm Spending Up in 2003 - According to TIA’s 2004 Telecommunications Market Review and Forecast, total spending in the U.S. telecommunications industry rose 4.7 percent in 2003 to an estimated $720.5 billion. Double-digit increases in wireless services, services in support of equipment, specialized services (unified communications, video- and audio-conferencing and high-speed Internet access) offset decreases in equipment spending and local- and toll-service revenues. The forecast includes for telecomm spending to rise 6.8 Percent in 2004 and the U.S. telecommunications industry will grow at a projected 9.2 percent compound annual rate 2004-2007, reaching $1 trillion. The Market Review and Forecast is an annual study published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA).

You will often hear from people who will announce that it's all over, that this is the crisis that ends it, once and for all. The Cassandra sees the end of the road for the project or the brand or the culture. It's the end, now.
Cassandra is countered by the Pollyanna, who thinks everything is fine, will be fine and always is fine.
The thing is: failure almost always arrives in a whimper. It is almost always the result of missed opportunities, a series of bad choices and the rust that comes from things gradually getting worse.
Things don't usually explode. They melt. | 2019-04-20T14:51:05 | https://seths.blog/2014/10/cassandra-and-pollyanna/ |
On her home patch she has become known as Michigan's Songbird after releasing something like fifteen albums in a career that has won her many friends and fans around the world.
But it wasn't until she toured the UK in 2017 and played summer festival dates with one of her side projects - The Sweet Water Warblers - that folks here began to chatter excitedly on the 'where the heck have they been hiding' grapevine.
Then when she released her stunning solo album Mother Lion, that was when the realisation hit home that the term 'seasoned' had really been made for this remarkable lady.
An extensive back catalogue has substance and her creative vision is expansive. Long before she made this long-overdue breakthrough, her material had been performed by many other well-respected artists, among them Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, Railroad Earth, Greensky Bluegrass and Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys.
May is a member of the Earthwork Music Collective, a group of independent artists who share resources and talents to raise community, self-awareness and encourage a free-flow of creativity. Her songs show a very real connection and concern with everyday folk.
Whether with full band behind her or alone under the spotlight, what you get from the live experience is magic.
At AmericanaUK, Michael Farley labelled it 'superb - a coming of age' release. Country Music People said she was 'a huge musical talent', Rock n Reel (RnR) magazine told readers the album was 'enchanting' and Country Music magazine called it 'mesmerising'. | 2019-04-21T16:57:39 | https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event/soundhouse-may-erlewine |

I have baked this bread for several times and I love it! This time I added black sesame powder into this recipe. This type of bread has no yeast flavour, brings out a sweet aroma with soft milky texture to taste. I was amazed with the soft cushiony texture even though no cream was added. Most of my blogger friends can’t resist NOT TO TRY as it looks really velvety soft!
This bread recipe is using starter dough (sponge dough method). It uses low protein or cake flour in both starter and main dough. It requires at least 4 hours (with 3 proving stages) to complete the stage from preparing starter dough till the bread is done. The dough is sticky to handle and I have hard time to shape it into rosette shape. I reduced the liquid in the recipe to get slightly easy to handle sticky dough (can't reduce much as it will affect the velvety soft texture outcome). I have tried baking it in loaf and round buns surprisingly the outcome is not as good as rosette shape. Anyway do not worry if can’t shape into rosette perfectly as the dough will rise and turn out velvety soft after baked as you tear.
According to Cuisine Paradise the pre-mixed starter dough can be prepared a day before. Leave to prove till double in size. Then keep inside fridge over night before using it on the next day. So in a way, you don't have to do all the proofing within the same day if you don't have time for that.
Note: ~I used whole egg instead 45g egg.
1. Add in all the ingredients into kneading bowl. Knead till well combine.
2. Cover the dough and let it to prove for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
1. Add the rest of ingredients of main dough except butter into proved starter dough. Knead till well combine.
2. Then, add in butter and continue knead till form smooth and elastic dough.
3. Cover the dough and let it to prove for 1 hour or double in size.
4. Divide the dough into 6 pieces with about 95g each. Shape into rosette. Refer here for the steps on shaping.
5. Place into greased chiffon pan and leave to proof for 1 hour or double in size. Bake in preheated oven at 160C for about 20 minutes.
*Make sure the pan is greased properly for easy bread removal.
6. Remove and leave to cool on wire rack. Brush surface with some butter while is hot. This will give shiny looking buns.
Note: 5 Thousand Dollars Starter Dough Bread without black sesame seeds is better received by my family. Just omit the black sesame seeds for plain flavour. Next time will explore more flavours with this 5 Thousand Dollars Starter Dough Bread. Happy baking!
Vivian, the texture looks fantastic! Can this bread tempt me to bake? Maybe!
Hi Vivian, I just made this bread and love it, your pics really showed off the softness of this bread!
looks so soft! love it!
Oh my goodness Vivian, this bread looks amazing. Hope you can share this at 'International Yeasted Recipe'. Enjoy & have a great week ahead dear.
this is unbelievable! i love this twist!!!
Hi Vivian, very lovely 5K$ bread. Seeing so many blogger friends making this, I have to try it, lol! Yours look so good with black sesame powder. Must be very fragrant.
Nice bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Any idea how to made pumpkin bread using this recipe? | 2019-04-23T00:00:00 | http://vivianpangkitchen.blogspot.com/2014/04/5-thousand-dollars-starter-dough-bread.html |

This is the first in a four-part blog series about our annual Summer Intensive program. This week we wanted to give you a run-down on how the program works, as well as why it is so valuable – both to us and the dancers which attend. Please check back each Thursday to see more behind-the-scenes coverage including day-in-the-life features, as well as posts by our artistic directors regarding their processes. We hope you enjoy!
Starting next Monday, our halls will be overrun with nearly 300 ballet dancers who will arrive for the first leg of our nationally-recognized Summer Intensive. Ranging in age from 9-22, these serious ballet students are split into either the Senior or Junior Summer Intensive programs depending on their age.
The Summer Intensive program is the culmination of an annual 30-city audition tour which takes place the winter prior to the program. This year, we are so pleased to welcome students from 36 states and 4 different countries into our home!
Summer Intensive is incredibly important to both ballet students and our company. Whether students stay for three weeks or six, they leave the program having greatly improved their skills and technical abilities. Aside from this obvious benefit, however, the program also allows our own artistic staff to select students for our Ballet Austin II Apprentice and Trainee programs. The three and six-week programs allow us to observe the students’ work ethics and styles, ensuring our ability to select dancers who be a great match with our company.
Over half of the current professional Company dancers have been through BAII – a program where dancers come and live year-round and work in-residence at our studios. Dancers may only stay in BAII for a maximum of two years, after which they may be invited to join our Company, or otherwise will move somewhere else to continue their career development.
Summer Intensive 2011 starts this Monday, and we cannot wait to meet everybody! Check back next week for a day-in-the-life feature of one of the participants!
For more information the program, please click here. See you next week everyone!

It has long been thought that as UK population rises and the age expectancy of that population also increases that the state pension will have to be altered in response. It has now been claimed by the Labour Party and supporting economic experts, that working people may have to wait until there 70s to retire.
Workers want more education on retirement issues, with topics varying depending on a person’s age, according to a new survey from Partnership, a specialist provider of financial solutions for people with health and lifestyle conditions.
Today’s retirees are set on investments and savings as a viable retirement options but hold some misconceptions over what is exactly ‘secure’. | 2019-04-19T16:37:44 | https://www.hrreview.co.uk/tag/retirement |
Australia’s honey industry is set to deliver the lowest national honey yields in more than a decade due to excessive heat, floods and drought.
Honey supplies have fallen by more than 50 percent, and it’s estimated 65 percent agricultural production in Australia depends on pollination by honeybees.
Many bee keepers are struggling to replenish stocks after Australia experienced its hottest year on record in 2013.
The Australian Honey Bee Industry Council’s executive director Trevor Weatherhead told Brianna Piazza the current heatwave will exacerbate the shortage. | 2019-04-24T04:23:24 | https://briannapiazza.com/2014/01/17/bad-weather-brings-honey-shortage-fears/ |

Binghamton /ËbɪÅÉmtÉn/ is a city in, and the county seat of, Broome County, New York, United States. It lies in the state’s Southern Tier region near the Pennsylvania border, in a bowl-shaped valley at the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. Binghamton is the principal city and cultural center of the Binghamton metropolitan area (also known as Greater Binghamton, or historically the Triple Cities), home to a quarter million people. The population of the city itself, according to the 2010 census, is 47,376.
From the days of the railroad, Binghamton was a transportation crossroads and a manufacturing center, and has been known at different times for the production of cigars, shoes, and computers.IBM was founded nearby, and the flight simulator was invented in the city, leading to a notable concentration of electronics- and defense-oriented firms. This sustained economic prosperity earned Binghamton the moniker of the Valley of Opportunity. However, following cuts made by defense firms after the end of the Cold War, the region has lost a significant portion of its manufacturing industry. | 2019-04-25T00:27:07 | https://mindsaw.com/binghamton-website-design/ |

Greetings and salutations, everyone; yes, once again it is I, Mani the purebred border collie, filling in for the guy I live with, and here to bring you the latest news from our garden, and some vole-hunting news, too. You may remember me from such posts as “The Ugly Garden”, among so many, many others.
Here I am in a characteristic pose. The guy I live with said that lying on the thymes he planted on my Personal Hill wouldn’t hurt them. You can probably see how “desperately gloomy” the weather here can be, with no forecast of rain. Super gloomy.
But never mind that; things are happening in the garden now. Remember the epimediums he ordered and planted last autumn? They didn’t die. There are a lot of corydalis flowering now; these are forms of Corydalis solida. Some of them still have labels. The guy I live with said that a certain purebred border collie puppy swiped a lot of the labels, so we’re not sure what all the names are, here. This is ‘Purple Beauty’. This is ‘Going Rouge’. This is “the red one”. (Not ‘George Baker’.) It’s even redder than this but the point-and-shoot doesn’t do red very well, for some reason. These corydalis have begun to seed around which is kind of interesting. They’re easy to grow, too. Unlike some of the others.
Here are the funny tubes of Allium pskemense. Named for the Pskem River in Kazakhstan. The guy I live with said these are dug up in the wild and eaten, like regular onions. I’m not allowed to have onions. And just today, or maybe just yesterday, the guy I live with noticed a peony seedling. He planted a few peony seeds about fifteen years ago, which a friend in New York sent him, and a few came up. At least one is still left. There’s another thing going on, and this is kind of sad. Maybe not for me, but for the guy I live with. He’s decided to do some downsizing and rearranging. The three troughs near the patio, that you often see in pictures, were at one time filled with porophyllum saxifrages, and in fact there were over sixty of them here. He would read and re-read the book on them, dream of getting more saxifrages (not easy to acquire), and when they began to flower, usually in March, sometimes in the snow, that would be very exciting. And best of all, his wife really liked them, the leaves and flowers, but after she died the saxifrages didn’t get the care they should have gotten, and so there are only a few now, and these are being moved. The troughs might be filled with hens and chicks instead. Some of the ones he got last year look really great now.
A lot of the cactuses, like in the clay dishes, are being given away, too.
And then there’s this. The green fence is new, and possibly ugly, but this little corner got cleared out, as I mentioned a while ago. Really the only thing that was done was a bunch of branches from the New Mexican privet were cut back, and suddenly this space became visible, and empty. The definitely ugly bamboo fence is now super-visible, but won’t be during the summer.
So that’s the garden news.
I decided to go up the creek and thought you might like to see me doing that. There isn’t any water in the creek, obviously, but when there was, the guy I live with let me go splashing in the water, so long as the water looked and smelled good, which sometimes it doesn’t.
Anyway I was hoping there might be voles along the creek banks. There weren’t, but it was fun looking. It’s always fun to look. That’s the trunk of the cottonwood tree you can see from our house. This is me looking for voles, but not in the creek, which is over there. You may think this is totally pointless, but it really isn’t. There are holes like this all over the field.
What you do is jam your nose into one of the holes and sniff. The guy I live with said that when I do that, dirt blows out my ears. I think he’s making fun of me. I didn’t catch any voles, of course, but I did wind up with Vole Hunter’s Nose. A condition which is easily remedied by soap and water.
Well, I hope you enjoyed today’s update, and maybe learned a thing or two about how to hunt for voles.
Thank you, Mani, for the vole hunting instruction. Very helpful!
You’re welcome. Now you know how to do it.
New Mexican privet is something I am not familiar with. You certainly have some strange things in your garden. It is nice that you can grow peonies. They can grow in some places here, but not everywhere. We never know if they will be happy until we try. Some people grow them as far south as the mountains above Los Angeles!
New Mexican privet is Forestiera neomexicana. I guess “they” want to call it F. pubescens now. The “desert olive”. Little dusky purplish “olives” on the female plants. There used to be a lot of peonies in the garden here but they are long gone. Just the one little seedling, and the tree peony, Paeonia rockii.
Well that explains why it does not look like a privet that I am familiar with. I know only the Ligustrum specie. We do not have many here. I noticed privets in Nevada that I did not recognize. They are probably all related with those names.
I think if I could grow peonies, I would.
Privets, I guess because in the olive family, like regular privet.
Not to change the subject, but before Rhody, and before Bill, another old friend of mine named Privet lived with me for many years. He was a feral little terrier with a huge attitude.
Especially Rhody, Bill and Privet.
Now I wonder who the “certain purebred border collie puppy” was? I bet it was fun playing with all those labels.
Even more fun being chased around the garden.
I’ll bet those saxifrages were lovely in their time. Someone gave me a whole platter of struggling unlabeled saxifrages and I planted them in a area that has some concrete rubble along with the usual muck that passes for soil here. They look better so maybe they don’t mind. Your dirty snout looks adorable if I may say so. I felt so sorry for you when you weren’t allowed any crawdad chips that I tried to post a video of border collies seeing their first sheep. At 4 weeks old they were expected to react correctly! But the blog wouldn’t let me post a video and I guess some people might be less than sensible in the types of things they post so that’s okay.
Oh, no, you can see the video. We just had to approve it. WordPress is weird about links sometimes. It’s right here https://www.rover.com/blog/watch-border-collie-puppies-meet-sheep-first-time/ There were bunches of saxifrages way back when. The guy I live with really wanted the latest Czech cultivars but they were always hard to come by.
Gloomy skies, definitely, at time of posting, all the better to bring out the glory of the corydalis. Your guy can be cheered by reminding him of what he already knows — things change in a garden. We have a dozen-times-over ghost roses hovering over our garden. Mostly they’re put from memory in caring for the living plants. Thank you for taking us along on your walk up the creek. We appreciate the detailed instruction on how to hunt voles. Petey and Shredder point out noses also can be cleaned by vigorous rubbing on upholstery or second-best sheets. Is there anyone to sniff your adorable belly? I bet it smells all thyme-y, a superior scent for a border collie. Perhaps you need a passle of border collie puppies around as I understand they are excellent belly sniffers. Think about it, Mani.
I think the guy I live with has decided I can be perfectly happy as an Only Border Collie. Like Chess was. It was pretty nice today, after a terribly windy day the day before. So windy that the path behind the houses (the coyote path) is now blocked by a fallen tree, blown over by the wind. That’s a change. I haven’t really inspected the fallen tree trunk yet.
hi i know i’m completly off topic here, but i’ve found in your blog long time ago some seeds of bunium bulbocastanum do you have some spare seeds? if not were is it possible to find them?. is it a dificult plant to grow?
Seeds for planting? No, no idea. Seeds for use as a spice can be found in Indian groceries or at Kalustyan’s.
I very much want to see a video of the dirt coming out of your ears.
Ha ha. You never know. We saw the muskrat today, and I guess they live in homes in the mud, so maybe it will be mud coming out of my ears. | 2019-04-25T14:32:20 | https://paridevita.com/2018/04/16/up-the-creek/ |
The leadership tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party came to an end today (Wednesday) after Ali Modu Sheriff was sacked as the Chairman of the Party and former Kaduna State Governor, Ahmed Makarfi was reinstated as the National Chairman of the party.
earlier sacked by the Portharcourt Division of the Court of Appeal.
Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour who read the leading judgement held that contrary to the majority judgment of the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt, the suit filed by Makarfi faction before the Federal High Court in Port Harcourt was not an abuse of court.
The Supreme Court insisted that the May 21, 2016 PDP National Convention rightly and constitutionally removed sheriff.
There had been a contest between Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff as to who the PDP national chairman will be. Many members of the party including former governors and lawmakers left the party stating the division as the reason for their action.
It was also noticed that Ali Modu Sheriff was missing in court while Ahmed Makarfi was present along side other members of the PDP including Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose and Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike. | 2019-04-26T10:09:51 | https://www.naijacynth.com/2017/07/makarfi-officially-becomes-pdp-national.html |

We readers of the Bible often have our favorite translations. I am partial to translations that emerge from committees, like the NRSV and CEB. Others like the more personal translations like Eugene Peterson's The Message. Debates can get heated, as we engage in conversation about which underlying texts should be used and whether to go in a more formal or dynamic direction. While I've not engaged in much reading of the new translation from David Bentley Hart, apparently N.T. Wright doesn't like it very much (as seen in his scathing review in the Christian Century). According to Martin Marty, Hart pushes back with great vigor and perhaps a bit of vitriol. But then, is this really new? Anyway, Marty lays things out nicely. If you've read Hart's self described wild and repellent "formal" translation with an Orthodox twist, I'd love to hear your reactions.
PREACHING IN THE ERAOF TRUMP. By O. Wesley Allen, Jr. St. Louis: Chalice Press, 2017. 117 pages.
I read a lot of books in the past year. Most of the books I read during the year are sent to me by publishers to be reviewed on this blog or elsewhere. All the books in the list below were published in 2017, and except for a few, were read in 2017. Most of the books on the list below were provided by the publisher, and to them I offer my thanks. I have been offering a Best Book List for several years. I started out with top ten lists, along with a Book of the Year Selection. In recent years I’ve found it difficult to limit the list to ten books, so you will find seventeen books. Two of them are named Best Book of 2017. The remaining fifteen are divided into four rather loose categories. All seventeen books are excellent and worthy of reading. Links to reviews are provided (click on the title).
If the reports are true, and I believe they are, the President spoke offensive and derogatory words about persons from the Caribbean and African nations who have come to our nation. The words are ripe with racism. Rather than writing my own reflection, I have decided to share the message published by the Rev. Dr. Teresa Hord Owens, the General Minister and President of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Unfortunately, fifty years after the assassination of Martin Luther King, we must continue to address the racism and nativism in our midst.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I must speak to repudiate the comments from the President of the United States on Jan. 11, 2018. As Christians, we believe that all humans are made in the image of God and therefore worth of dignity and respect. We are called to love, and Jesus tells us that we will be known as his disciples if we have love for one another. (John 13:35).
STILL CHRISTIAN: Following Jesus out of American Evangelicalism. By David P. Gushee. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2017. Xvi + 151 pages.
I am four years older than David Gushee, which means I've traveled similar terrain, even if we grew up in opposite sides of the country and in different denominational traditions. He was raised Catholic. I was raised Episcopalian. He left the Catholics for the Southern Baptists. I left the Episcopalians for Pentecostalism. We both felt the call to ministry and academia. He went to a large Southern Baptist Seminary and then a very liberal seminary for doctoral work. I went to a very large multi-denominational evangelical seminary, earning both my masters and doctorate at the same institution. Unlike David, I have spent most of my life as a pastor, and likely because I took up an area of academic interest (historical theology) that was less controversial, I never found myself in the public eye in quite the same way as was true for him.
It is a new year, and Martin Marty is out and about sighting things religious and secular. In his opening salvo for the year, he takes note of those who seek to find some sense of meaning in the region between secularist partisans on one side who see anything religious being foolishness, and those on the other end of the spectrum who allow nothing that is not "sacred." He takes note of several expressions of religious sensibility living within the broader culture, bearing witness to the transcendent. I invite you to take a read and consider what it means to live in this middle space. I want to commend the Martin Marty Center and the University of Chicago Divinity School for making these columns available --- and allow we bloggers to repost!
Death, Immortality, and Resurrection (Edward Vick) -- A Review.
DEATH, IMMORTALITY,AND RESURRECTION. By Edward W. H. Vick. Gonzalez, FL: Energion Publications, 2017. X + 130 pages.
Yesterday was the Day of Epiphany, which marked the end of the Christmas season for both east and west. Yesterday was the appropriate day to sing “We Three Kings” to remember the visit of the magi to the home of the Holy Family. Yes, if we still had our creche scene out, yesterday would have been the appropriate day to add the “three wise men.” Of course, if we follow scripture the Holy Family would have taken residence in a house, and the shepherds and the sheep would have gone back to their fields.
The Twelve Days of Christmas conclude today with the coming of the magi to the little town of Bethlehem. On this day, with the magi, we come to bear homage to Jesus, the one in whom God's light shines upon us, revealing to us the fullness of God's love and presence. On this day, I simply invite you to attend to the reading of this story from Matthew. Yes, in the verses that follow the holy family will flee to Egypt and Herod's soldiers will slaughter the innocents, but can we for a moment simply join with the magi and be overwhelmed with joy as the star leads us to the presence of the holy one?
STRANGER GOD: Meeting Jesus in Disguise. By Richard Beck. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2017. 245 pages (Kindle Edition).
BETTER: Waking Up to Who We Could Be. By Melvin Bray. Foreword by Brittney Cooper. St. Louis: Chalice Press, 2017. Xiv + 169 pages.
Christians—and people of faith in general—live by our stories. For Christians and Jews, these include the biblical story. We also have other stories that describe and define our identities. Some of these stories are good and some are not. Some empower, and others disempower. The way we tell and retell the stories have implications for our lives and for our world. Melvin Bray invites us to tell “better” stories. He invites us to deconstruct many of our stories, taking them apart, but not leaving them in that state. Moving beyond deconstruction, he invites us to reconstruct our stories so that our lives and the world itself might be transformed. | 2019-04-26T00:50:23 | http://www.bobcornwall.com/2018/01/ |

Frozen Shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is something we see a lot of at Health Moves Physiotherapy in Edwardstown and Mawson Lakes Physiotherapy.
Frozen Shoulder sounds unpleasant. Ask anyone who’s had one and they’ll agree it is. It also takes a long time to resolve; one to two years is common. The frozen part in the name refers to the all round stiffness in the shoulder movements. It’s painful too, particularly in the early stage which can last a few months. The pain is felt over the shoulder or down the arm. Sometimes with pins and needles in the hand, or hot or cold feelings.
Frozen Shoulder can seem to start for no reason but it often will follow a strain to the shoulder or after a fall. We know that there are a few factors that can contribute to developing this condition. One is stiffness in a joint close to the shoulder, such as in the upper thoracic spine or neck, another is being aged over 40. Those with diabetes or cardiovascular disease are also more at risk.
The good news is that they nearly always get completely better. The majority of the pain settles in a few months, and the shoulder frees up gradually over time. Generally they resolve over 1 to 2 years. While this fact may be initially a shock to the patient, it can also be reassuring to know that eventually it will go away.
Physiotherapy can help free up stiff joints and tight soft tissue structures. The physiotherapist can also help develop a program of exercises.
Other options include having a corticosteroid injection to the subacromial bursa. And this may be worth a try to ease some of the pain, but I think that since there are several factors involved in the condition it is unlikely to achieve much, particularly in the long term. Another technique using corticosteroid is a capsular distension procedure. In the ones that I have seen it may gain only a few degrees of movement at best.

Fashion rings existed always: they started their story in the Holy Scripture and in the Koran. In ancient Russia people used them as amulets from the evil forces. In ancient India, women wore a mirror-ring on their finger, so that the first thing she saw after waking up, was her own face. But in ancient Egypt, the ring existed only for men. Unfortunately, my relationship with fashion rings is much more complicated. They are present in my casket, I like how they look on fingers in sets, but… I wear them very rarely, because they need a manicure, and I always forget to do it. And what are your relationships with rings? Hope you can not wait to see the fashion rings 2018! | 2019-04-18T11:23:10 | https://nextamy.com/blogs/blog/tagged/ring-sets |
At its meeting ending on 20 March, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England (BoE) voted unanimously to keep the Bank Rate unchanged at 0.75%. The Bank was also in full agreement to maintain the stock of investment-grade corporate bond purchases at GBP 10 billion and to maintain the total stock of UK government bond purchases at GBP 435 billion, financed by the issuance of Central Bank reserves. All decisions were in line with market expectations.
The BoE remains in wait-and-see mode given the lack of clarity over the outcome of Brexit. Moreover, domestic price pressures are not excessive—inflation was marginally below the 2.0% target in February—while economic activity is mild and global economic momentum has eased, meaning the Bank was under little pressure to continue its tightening cycle.
In its communiqué, the BoE reiterated its guidance that monetary policy will likely tighten going forward, albeit gradually and to a limited extent. The Bank also reemphasized the impact Brexit could have on monetary policy decisions and left the door open to monetary easing in the case of a disorderly withdrawal.
According to economists at Nomura: “assuming Brexit ends up with some kind of deal and transition period then we think the BoE would be faced with improving sentiment, investment picking up and generally stronger economic growth”, leading to a tighter stance.
Daniel Vernazza, economist at UniCredit, takes an opposing view: “The BoE is now out of sync, with the Fed no longer expecting to raise rates this year and the ECB on hold at least until the end of the year. We expect the BoE to remain on hold throughout 2019 and to cut twice in 2H20”.
Despite a divergence in panelists’ views, the majority of our panelists still see the BoE raising rates at least once this year to ensure inflation remains close to target. The Consensus is for the Bank Rate to end 2019 at 1.01% and 2020 at 1.34%. | 2019-04-20T22:42:17 | https://www.focus-economics.com/countries/united-kingdom/news/monetary-policy/boe-leaves-rates-unchanged-in-march |

Beans, corn, and endless varities of root vegetable—is this the stuff of an obsession?
The land was inviting, but depending on its bounty could trouble your dreams.
This Christmas, my two sisters and my brother and I, along with our families, will head toward home, our real home, which is where our seventy-eight-year-old mother, Christy, lives, in western Kentucky. She’ll be ready for us with the usual Christmas feast, and what I’m looking forward to most is the green beans and sweet potatoes and creamed corn, the farm fare that once seemed so oppressively ordinary to me. When I was growing up on our fifty-three-acre dairy farm, we were obsessed with food. Food was the center of our lives. Everything we did, every day, revolved around it. We planted it, grew it, harvested it, peeled it, cooked it, served it, consumed it—endlessly, day after day, season after season. This was life on a farm. I can appreciate the value of a country upbringing now, but when I was a girl all that toil drove me crazy.
One day my mother and my grandmother were shelling beans and talking about the proper method of drying apples. I was eleven and entirely absorbed with the March girls in “Little Women.” Drying apples was not in my dreams. Beth’s death was weighing darkly on me at that moment, and I threw a little tantrum—what Mama called a hissy fit.
“Can’t y’all talk about anything but food?” I screamed.
There was a shocked silence. “Well, what else is there?” Granny asked.
Granny didn’t question her duties, but I did. I didn’t want to be hulling beans in a hot kitchen when I was fifty years old. I wanted to be somebody, maybe an airline stewardess. Also, I had been listening to the radio. I had notions.
Life for our family was haunted by the fear of crop failure. We ate as if we didn’t know where our next meal might come from. All my life, I have had a recurrent food dream: I face a buffet or cafeteria line, laden with beautiful foods. I spend the entire dream choosing the foods I want. The anticipation of eating them is deliciously agonizing. I always wake up just as I’ve made my selections but before I get to eat.
Working with food was fraught with anxiety and desperation when I was a girl. Like all farmers, we were at the mercy of the weather, and it wasn’t to be trusted. My mother watched the skies at evening for any portent of the morrow. A cloud that went over and then turned around and came back was an especially bad sign. Our livelihood—even our lives—depended on forces outside our control.
I think this dependence on nature was at the core of my rebellion. I hated the constant sense of helplessness before vast forces, the continuous threat of failure. Farmers didn’t take the initiative, I began to see; they reacted to whatever presented itself. More than that, though, I disliked women’s part in that dependence.
From the front yard, where I sat reading under a maple tree, I could see my mother stooped over in the garden and my father on his tractor, far back in the field. No wonder I believed that progress meant freedom from the field and the range. That meant moving to town, I thought. Because we lived only a mile outside the town of Mayfield, I was acutely conscious of being country. I felt inferior to people in town because we had to grow our food and make our clothes; we couldn’t just go buy things, the way they did. Although we were self-sufficient and resourceful and held clear title to our land, we farm people lived in a state of psychological poverty. We felt that the fine life in town—celebrated in magazines, on radio, in movies—was denied us. Of course, we weren’t poor at all—I knew that. Poor people had too many kids, and they weren’t landowners; they rented decrepit little houses with plank floors and trash in the yard. “Poor people are wormy and eat wild onions,” Mama said. We weren’t poor, but we were country.
The truth was, Mama was a natural cook. At harvest time, after she’d got in from the garden and put out a wash, she would whip up a noontime dinner for the men in the field—my father and grandfather and maybe some neighbors and a couple of hired hands: fried chicken with milk gravy, ham, mashed potatoes, lima beans, field peas, corn, slaw, sliced tomatoes, fried apples, biscuits, and peach pie. This was not considered a banquet, only plain hearty food, fuel for work. All the ingredients except the flour, sugar, and salt came from the farm—the chickens, the hogs, the milk and butter, the potatoes from the potato patch, the beans, peas, corn, cabbage, apples, peaches. Nothing was processed, except by her. She was always butchering and plucking and planting and hoeing and shredding and slicing and creaming (scraping cobs for the creamed corn), and pressure-cooking and canning and freezing and thawing and mixing and shaping and baking and frying.
We were known to eat our pie right on the same plate as our turnip greens so as not to mess up another dish. It didn’t matter if the peach cobbler oozed all over the turnip-green juice and the pork grease. “It all goes to the same place,” Mama said. We never used napkins, and our table manners were boarding-house reach—no “Pass the peas, please.” Conversation detracted from the sensuous pleasure of filling yourself. Every meal required meat and vegetables and dessert. We drank milk and iced tea (“ice-tea”). Our salads were fruit Jell-O and slaw. We also ate “poke salet” and wilted lettuce. Mama picked tender young pokeweed in the woods in the spring, before it turned poison, and cooked it a long time to get the bitterness out. We liked it with vinegar and minced boiled eggs. Wilted lettuce was tender new lettuce, shredded, with sliced radishes and green onions, and blasted with hot bacon grease to blanch the rawness. “Too many fresh vegetables in the summer gives people the scours,” Daddy said.
We strode out at dawn, in the dew, and picked until the midmorning sun bore down on our heads. To protect her hands from the thorns, Mama made gloves from old bluejeans, with the fingertips cut out. Following the berries down onto the creek bank, we perched on ledges and tiptoed on unsure footing through thickets. We tunnelled. When Mama saw an especially large berry just out of reach, she would lean her body against the bush and let it support her while she plucked the prize. We picked in quart baskets, then poured the berries into red-and-white Krey lard buckets. The berries settled quickly, and Mama picked an extra quart to top off the buckets. By nine o’clock, the sun was high, and I struggled to the house with my four gallons of blackberries, eager to wash the chiggers off and eat some cereal.
From the blackberries, I learned about money. I wouldn’t eat the berries, even on my cereal: I wanted the money from selling them. Granny said everything was food, but I was hungry for something else—a kind of food that didn’t grow in the ground. Yet I couldn’t deny that we were always feasting. We ate sumptuous meals, never missing dessert. At Christmas, we slurped gallons of boiled custard. Once in a while, Daddy brought home exotic treats—fried oysters in little goldfish cartons and hot tamales wrapped in corn shucks.
Food was better in town, we thought. It wasn’t plain and ordinary and everyday. The main pleasures were there, too—the barbecue places, the movie shows, all the places to buy things. Woolworth’s, with the pneumatic tubes overhead rushing money along a metallic mole tunnel up to a balcony. Lochridge & Ridgway, with an engraved sign on the third-story cornice: “Stoves, Appliances, Plows.” On the mezzanine at that store, I bought my first phonograph records, brittle 78s of big-band music—Woody Herman and Glenn Miller, and Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra playing “No Name Jive.” A circuit of the square took you past the grand furniture stores, the two dime stores, the shoe stores, the men’s stores, the ladies’ stores, the banks, the drugstores. You’d walk past the poolroom and an exhaust fan would blow the intoxicating smell of hamburgers in your face. Before she bought a freezer, Mama kept our meat in a rented food locker in town, near the ice company. She stored the butchered calf there, and she fetched hunks each week to fry. But hamburgers in town were better. They were greasier, and they came in waxed-paper packages.
At the corner drugstore, on the courthouse square, Mama and my younger sister Janice and I sat at filigreed wrought-iron tables on a black-and-white mosaic tile floor, eating peppermint ice cream. It was cold in there, under the ceiling fans. The ice cream was served elegantly, in paper cones sunk into black plastic holders. We were uptown.
She was eager for a chance to buy us things. After the war, she had wanted Daddy to get out of dairy farming and run a small business of some kind, something that would bring in more cash, but he had refused to leave his parents’ farm. He was an only child, and my grandparents depended on him to carry on. Mama had swallowed her disappointment. She was resilient and optimistic—when Janice and I were growing up, we always saw her sparkling like morning dew—and she always wanted more for her children.
I was so excited I couldn’t sleep. Running our own little restaurant could mean we wouldn’t have to work in the garden. I wanted nothing more to do with okra and beans. I longed for deliverance and an endless supply of Co’-Colas.
A restaurant would hold no fears for her. “It’s a chance to make big money,” she told me. She told the owner she would try it for two weeks. If she liked the work, the deal was, she would be permitted to rent the business, for a hundred dollars a month.
“If it works out, maybe I could make a hundred dollars a week,” she said.
I tagged along. I felt important waiting on customers—strangers driving along the highway and stopping right where I was for a bite to eat. I wanted to meet somebody from New York. When I drew glasses of Coca-Cola from the fountain, the Coke fizzed over crushed ice. I made grilled-cheese sandwiches in the grilled-cheese machine. I experimented with milkshakes. I was flying.
Most of all, I loved the jukebox. The first week Mama was there, the jukebox man came by to change records and insert new red-rimmed paper strips of titles: Doris Day and Johnnie Ray duets, “Teardrops from My Eyes,” by Ruth Brown, and “P.S. I Love You,” by a Kentucky vocal group called the Hilltoppers. I listened avidly to everything. I was fourteen and deeply concerned about my suntan, and I was saving pocket money to buy records.
The restaurant also had a television set, which sat in a corner with a “television light” on top—a prism of soft colors which supposedly kept people from ruining their eyes on TV waves. I had no experience with television, and I was captivated by Donald O’Connor’s variety show and “I Love Lucy.” When the evening crowd came in, Mama was kept busy as she trotted back and forth from the kitchen with her hamburger platters and catfish platters, but she would stop and laugh at something Lucy and Ethel were doing on the screen.

Scratchy Glitter | Observations for the easily irritated.
I typed in “whatever,” and this is the only picture that came up. Whatever.
Nick is no longer a police officer. He came over for his no-longer-a-police-officer present, and we hugged for, I’m guessing, less than the 20 seconds required for a hug to have its effects on your health, so I’m safe.
That sounds like a hug was his present, which is, I believe, illegal. His present was actually a Donut Bank t-shirt, since he can now go to Donut Bank without people snickering. You know, cops, donuts, etc.
It also sounds like the police department threw him out, which they did not. He threw himself out.
Spellcheck says “donut” is not a word, but fack them. Yes, I’m drunk. It’s April Fool’s Day, and that is the quickest way to become a fool.
THERE WILL BE, AS EVERY YEAR, LIVE-BLOGGING TO ACCOMPANY DOING MY TAXES, WHICH, I BELIEVE, THERE IS A DEADLINE FOR.
IN RETROSPECT, NO, THERE WAS NOT. YOU CAN’T TRUST ANYONE THESE DAYS.
Dear Democrats, Guaranteed income for those who “choose not to work”? Really?!
Yes, these thoughts came to mind while I was thinking about doing my taxes. The forms did finally arrive, thanks for asking.
…based on an internet quiz I took on Catholicism. With 1 as most liberal and 100 as most conservative, I got 86, which seems about right. Anyway, I found a prayer pamphlet lying around (seriously–it was in the lobby of a medical office building) which included a prayer for the healing of schism, but also a prayer in honor of Reformation Day. What’s wrong with this picture?
Beauty for Cancer: “For an interesting look, try perming just one section of hair.” Well, that would be interesting, certainly.
Speaking of Cosmo, they have decided it’s kicky and young to have article titles like “Sh*t You Should Take on Vacation” and “How to Know You’re Dealing with a F*ck-Boy.” It’s OK, we used an asterisk!
I immediately suspected the second speaker of trying to dispose of a body.
You gotta love a spider vending machine, right?
Similar to misheard song lyrics, only, well, you get the idea.
–Haven’t all spiders always been spiders? Unless you don’t want to count the time they spent as eggs. And then you get into the philosophical/ethical controversy about whether spider life begins at conception or at hatching.
The McDonald’s one–“Gimme that fish! Gimme that Filet-O-Fish!” I find it creepily compelling. I do not, by the way, refer to said item as Filet-O-Fish when ordering. I refer to it as a fish sandwich, and encourage you to do the same. I also encourage you not to get tartar sauce, which is only mayonnaise with boogers in it. And, note to Hardee’s–Why do you think a fish sandwich should have lettuce on it? Of course, lettuce is pretty much pointless on any sandwich.
The amount of St Patrick’s Day merchandise is equivalent to the amount of New Year’s Eve merchandise. It falls into the in-case-somebody-cares category.
I will abolish Daylight Savings Time, and make the Eastern/Central time zone dividing line the Indiana/Ohio border again. Or the Indiana/Illinois border. Something easy to remember.

Never has Autzen been so quiet.
As Oregon Duck star running back LaMichael James rolled back and forth on the ground near the west end zone on Thursday night, his elbow a complete mess, the 58,796 on hand for the California game did some squirming of their own.
The tortuous image of James’ arm bending backwards was shown on the big screen.
Oregon running back LaMichael James leaves the field Thursday night after dislocating his right elbow on a gruesome play that drew comparisons to the injury pro quarterback Joe Theismann suffered in 1985.
Fidgety hands texted those watching at home.
Antsy voices inside the bowl, meanwhile, began a spontaneous chant: “La-Mich-ael-James, La-Mich-ael-James,” the cadence growing more pronounced, as if fans were willing their beloved star to come up off the turf, for the nightmare to end.
When that didn’t happen, they fell into another prolonged hush, this time as if in prayer.
What followed — after James finally rose, was helped onto a cart and then whisked into the stadium tunnel toward the medical offices — was a clap of continuous thunder.
Never has Autzen been so loud.
Moments like Thursday night’s drama bring into focus what an athlete can mean to a program, a school, a state.
James’ dislocated elbow, with Oregon leading 36-15 and on the way to a 43-15 victory over the Bears, didn’t come with a BCS title game and a Heisman Trophy within reach — as was the case when Dennis Dixon’s knee crumbled during that bitter 2007 loss to Arizona. Nor did it snuff out a shot at setting a school rushing record, the fate Reuben Droughns suffered when he broke his ankle in 1999. James already holds most rushing marks.
No, the reaction to the James play and the aftermath — from teammates and coaches, from Duck fans and opposing fans, and from the media — clearly spoke of a recognition of something greater, something many in the Duck camp had failed to perhaps fully grasp until it seemed No. 21 might never carry the ball again for Oregon.
When his career concludes, he’ll be revered as an Oregon legend.
Where James stands with other great athletes who’ve worn green and yellow is impossible to measure. Different sports. Different eras. We’re also talking here about the likes of Steve Prefontaine, Ronnie Lee, Joey Harrington.
The statistics speak loudly. James has rushed for 4,129 yards in just 30 games over three seasons. He is averaging 6.7 yards per carry over his career. He has 43 rushing touchdowns. Oregon’s record in those 30 games is 25-5.
But like Prefontaine, Lee and Harrington, there is something more to this Texarkana, Texas, native than just gaudy numbers.
Think back to two seasons ago when he gave the Ducks the spark they needed after the Boise State debacle and the LeGarrette Blount suspension.
Think back to last season when he refused to come out of that nail-biting California game — with national championship aspirations riding the outcome — despite a badly damaged ankle. At game’s end, he had to be helped off the field, hurt in his eyes. He later said he didn’t want to let his teammates down.
On Thursday night, there was James, in excruciating pain on the artificial turf, popping his dislocated elbow back into place before trainers reached him.
There was James, 45 minutes later, his arm in a sling, greeting his teammates outside the locker after they exited the field.
And there was James giving an optimistic spin in a post-game interview that left even hardened reporters captivated.
Steely, all about team, with resolve.
Where No. 9-ranked Oregon goes from here without James — most observers estimate he’ll miss at least a couple games — is the topic of much speculation.
Can Kenjon Barner pick up the slack? Will the Ducks attempt to deploy freshman sensation De’Anthony Thomas more as a running back than a receiver? Can another freshman, Tra Carson, be a worthy substitute for James in pounding the middle?
Can the Ducks keep their Pac-12 championships hopes alive — starting with this Saturday’s clash against No. 22 Arizona State — while awaiting the return of their superstar?
Still, there is a reason the reigning Doak Walker Award winner has been at the center of the Duck attack for so long. He’s really, really good.
He knows the Oregon spread offense like no other player. He reads blocks, holes, defenses better than anyone else. He can go inside. He can go outside.
As James has gone, so have gone the Ducks.
So it would behoove the rest of the Ducks to be reminded again of that lesson James has imparted on all during his stay in Eugene.
Talent only gets you part of the way. You need the intangibles.
Things like toughness and heart. And determination. And looking out for each other.
If James’ teammates can, deep down, adopt his brand of play as their own, they won’t lose again this season. | 2019-04-24T02:21:14 | https://fishduck.com/2011/10/follow-legend/ |
As fashion enthusiasts and retail-junkies alike, we’re the ones walking down Briggate daily, quizzing the construction men on opening dates and store gossip, causing our excitement levels to bubble. For those of you who don’t know, we’re talking about Trinity- the major shopping centre that’s been brewing behind the back of M&S for years, set for its big unveil on March 21st…AND THAT’S JUST 3 WEEKS AWAY.A £350m development, Trinity is set to bring big business to Leeds. Evolving as a shopping ‘experience’, the 1 million square foot space will be more than just stores. Besides the exciting arrival of Hollister, Apple, Victoria’s Secret and Mango, expect restaurants, food trucks, cocktail bars, a cinema, sculpture, street performers and bounds of interactive technology. That’s a lot to fit in under one giant roof.
Upping the ante on our anticipation levels, last week we were lucky enough to take a tour of the site ‘Site’ being no understatement. Cloaked in high-vis jackets, hard hats and steel-capped boots, we took a peek at the goings-on. Victoria’s Secret is set to be 3 units big, Primark will be 3 storeys high; and Apple and Hollister have both secured pride of place lets. Say hello to late night shopping and goodbye to student loans.
On the upper floor, the Everyman cinema is being luxuriously furnished, whilst across the walkway, the cocktails are already brewing in barrels for The Alchemist’s roof-top bar. Who said Leeds wasn’t classy?
If you’re looking for diversity, Trinity has you covered. Showcasing the best local and national cuisine, Trinity Kitchen takes on a unique approach, with pop-up food traders circulating each month. With a continual indoor-outdoor feel thanks to the glass-roof and wall-free structure, prepare to get your ramen fix with an open-air view, as Wagamama will include an outdoor balcony that lets you look out on to Briggate. Noodles with a view, we like it.
From fast-fashion to Hollister models, to gourmet dining experiences, Trinity is set to reshape the city. March 21st – stick it in your diary, cancel your appointments, book your train back to Leeds- it might be Easter break, but you have to be there. | 2019-04-22T06:28:38 | https://www.thegryphon.co.uk/2013/03/04/trinity-leeds/ |
Editor’s Note: In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, Elizabeth Ferris discusses the effect of the Arab spring on massive migration across North Africa’s borders.
STEVE INSKEEP, NPR: Now, early in Libya’s war, people were sometimes leaving the country at the rate of thousands per hour. Foreign workers were mainly fleeing the country. Now that rebels control Tripoli, a different kind of refugee is on the move, including some of Moammar Gadhafi’s relatives, who slipped across the border into Algeria.
Elizabeth Ferris of the Brookings Institution is tracking Libya’s migrations.
ELIZABETH FERRIS: Whenever there’s a turmoil such as this and a change in government and regime, people associated with that regime try to get out.
FERRIS: And there are rich people who have resources and homes elsewhere and bank accounts they can tap into. Poorer people tend to be displaced closer to home. So you’ll have displacement inside Libya. You’ll have people going to both borders, the Tunisian and the Egyptian, trying to find safety.
INSKEEP: I’m thinking of two categories of people. One would be extreme Gadhafi loyalists or Gadhafi troops who perhaps people would not really be concerned about very much. But then there’s another category of sub-Saharan Africans who migrated into Libya and there’s concern now that they could be targeted because it would be assumed that they were mercenaries for Gadhafi whether they were or not.
FERRIS: Right. You know, Libya has a population of about six and a half million. It has two and a half million foreign workers. I mean, they’re dispersed throughout society. They’re mercenaries, but they also run shops and run public services and so on. And we’ve already have seen mass movements of those people outside the country.
And there’s another category people who are likely to leave, and that’s people who get caught up in the violence, who have experienced their house being destroyed or a child being killed, who think I’ve had it, I want to get out.

Earlier this month, the FDA authorized 23andMe to provide genetic risk information for certain health conditions, including AATD, late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and more.
As genetic health information becomes more accessible to consumers—23andMe has genotyped more than 2 million people—your patients are more likely to discuss genetic health risks with you.
Watch this 23andMe webinar to learn about the new Genetic Health Risk reports*, including the science behind our tests and how genetic risk information is communicated to consumers. The webinar features 23andMe’s Shirley Wu, PhD, Director of Product Science, and Stacey Detweiler, MS, LCGC, Genetic Counselor and Medical Affairs Associate.
This webinar is intended for healthcare professionals, though it is open to educators, researchers, students and lifelong learners.

*The 23andMe PGS test uses qualitative genotyping to detect clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva collected using an FDA-cleared collection device (Oragene·DX model OGD-500.001) for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. The relevance of each report varies based on ethnicity. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. These reports are intended to provide genetic information that can be used to inform lifestyle decisions and conversations with healthcare professionals, but are not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication or how much of a medication you should take. Any diagnostic or treatment decisions should be based on testing or other information deemed appropriate by a healthcare professional.
Why did the FDA shut you down before, and what was the key basis for the FDA’s approval? Would that criteria apply to upcoming health reports?
In November 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required that we cease marketing certain reports until we obtained FDA clearance. The FDA reviewed extensive analytical, clinical and scientific data from peer-reviewed literature that we submitted as well as our study data demonstrating user comprehension of our reports, which we described in this presentation. We can’t speculate on what the FDA will require for future clearances.
How did you make the decision about which tests could be included? Are there genetic tests that you are not able to offer, and why?
The reports included in this recent U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) market authorization cover topics that were previously included in 23andMe’s product. They represent diseases with associated genetic variants known to have a significant impact on risk and include conditions with significant customer interest, such as late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. This authorization does not include cancer risk reports, reports on dominant diseases with complete penetrance or reports about drug metabolism.
Does 23andMe plan to offer pre- and/or post-test genetic counseling services?
At this time, 23andMe does not offer pre- and/or post-test genetic counseling services. Instead, we encourage customers, especially those who may be identified as high risk for a condition, to speak with their healthcare provider and/or meet with a genetic counselor to learn more. Links are provided throughout the report for the “Find a Genetic Counselor Tool” via the National Society of Genetic Counselors. This tool allows individuals to search for those genetic counselors who specialize in at-home or direct-to-consumer DNA testing, some of whom provide services via non-traditional methods such as telephone and video.
Regarding the late-onset Alzheimer’s disease risk, do you plan to release the complete APOE genotype? The complete genotype will give additional information about risk (E2/E2 versus E3/E3 in those without E4, for example).
We are currently authorized only to provide information about clinically relevant variants associated with higher risk for disease, and specifically for the e4 variant of the APOE gene associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Additional variants would need to meet the same requirements for clinical and analytical validity and may require additional regulatory processes, so we cannot speculate on whether or when this might happen.
How do I take the raw data provided by 23andMe and interpret it for purposes other than what has been FDA approved?
23andMe customers do have access to their raw genetic data, which they can view or download from their 23andMe account. This raw data has undergone a general quality review; however, only a subset of markers has been individually validated for accuracy. Thus this data is only suitable for research, educational and informational use. It is not for medical use.
What tests will 23andMe be adding to its panel of reports in the future? Will there be a price increase as tests are added?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization includes additional reports and provides a pathway for similar reports meeting the same requirements for clinical and analytical validity. We do plan to add more reports, but we cannot comment on whether or when specific reports might be added. We also cannot comment on future pricing.
Why do you feel comfortable reporting on predispositions for conditions with no cure (e.g., late-onset Alzheimer’s disease)?
It is true that genetic testing for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is not currently recommended by any healthcare professional organization, one of the reasons being that there is no cure. However, we know from our customers that genetic risk information for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease is desired. In addition, concerns around significant adverse outcomes from learning such information have been mostly unfounded in the literature. Overall, 23andMe’s mission is to help people access, understand and benefit from the human genome, and providing our customers with these types of reports, so they can choose whether or not they would like to know if their genetics predisposes them to an increased risk for certain conditions, is one way we can work toward that goal.
What are the laws regarding access to this genetic information? Do the insurance companies have access to this information?
There is not one simple answer for this question; there are a number of relevant laws. If you’re interested in this topic, we recommend that you perform additional research or consult a lawyer to learn more about anti-discrimination and disclosure laws. At a baseline, federal legislation called the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits health insurance companies and employers from making decisions about your coverage or discriminating against you based on your genetics. However, GINA does not include protections for life, disability and long-term care insurance. If you’re located in California, Vermont or Oregon, there are state-level protections in place for those three insurance types.
Regardless of where you live, we won’t share individual-level customer information with anyone, including an insurance company, without explicit consent from the individual.
Do results vary if saliva is affected by food, medications, supplements or illness?
No. As part of our FDA submissions, we have tested the impact of food, drink, smoking and chewing gum. When used as instructed in the package insert, those do not interfere with results.
Our package insert contains more information about technical performance details.
How is it best to utilize 23andMe in primary care for the individual?
Stacey Detweiler: I think there is a lot of benefit in having patients exposed to genetics and how it relates to their own health. Some individuals seem very motivated by the information they discover, which can help to engage them and lead them into thinking about health and how genetics and lifestyle all related. It is important, though, to emphasize that the 23andMe Health + Ancestry Service does not diagnose any diseases or conditions and that it does not include all possible genetic variants associated with a condition. However, we strongly believe the information obtained can still be useful when shared with an individual’s healthcare provider. Regarding the genetic health risk reports, knowing that your patient has a genetic risk factor can enable further discussion and identification of additional risk factors that may be present in that patient’s life, such as family history or certain lifestyle choices. I think of the information provided in 23andMe reports as just one piece of a much larger disease risk puzzle because the conditions included in the genetic health risk report category are caused by both genetic and non-genetic factors. Learning more about one’s genetic risk does not complete the disease-risk picture. Instead, genetic risk information is another data point that, when followed up with appropriate diagnostic testing, and/or when taken in context with a patient’s other risk factors, may be able to help improve patient care and lead to a patient who is empowered.
How can clients and healthcare providers contact 23andMe with any questions or concerns?
Stacey Detweiler: Customers are encouraged to contact our customer care team at customercare@23andme.com. Providers are encouraged to reach out to our Medical Professional Support Team at medical@23andme.com. | 2019-04-21T16:10:06 | https://medical.23andme.com/webinar/23andmes-new-fda-authorized-health-reports/ |

Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates is a unique and exclusive blend of whole food concentrates extracted from foods that make up our dietary staples. Each capsule provides the complete lipid and sterol profile of wheat germ, rice bran and soya beans - Nature's best human food chain sources. Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates assist in bridging a critical nutrient gap caused by modern food processing methods. Daily use ensures that cell membranes can function optimally, in turn supporting the cells' ability to receive nutrients, utilize them, export important metabolites and eliminate cellular waste.
Cell membranes need lipids and sterols to stay healthy. Unfortunately, modern grain processing strips lipids, sterols and other vital nutrients from the foods that make up our dietary staples. Additionally, important lipids and sterols - "good fats" - may also be missing from modern diets in which fat substitutes and fat-free items are substituted for foods rich in lipids and sterols. Certain lipids may increase the fluidity, or "pliability" , of cell membranes and help keep cells functioning efficiently by enhancing nutrient utilization, which promotes healthy energy and vitality. Plant sterols have a number of beneficial health benefits as well, including supporting the function of the circulatory system and promoting cellular health throughout the body. Lipids and sterols provide critical support for the healthy cellular uptake of nutrients, and cellular export of waste and metabolites.
Complete lipid and sterol profile of wheat, rice and soya.
Scientifically proven to promote efficient nutrient utilization.

The 19 communes of Brussels are now active members of Fix My Street! With Telenet, Sibelga, Belgacom, Vivaqua, the STIB and Brussels Mobility, this brings to 25 the number of participant organisations.
Fix My Street is a web and mobile platform available to the citizen and the administration to report incidents in the public space. It is an assistance to locate and describe the damage and a tool that informs citizens and administrations at each key stage of the resolution of the incident.
Fix My Street is a Brussels Mobility initiative with the municipalities and the Brussels institutions partners. The website and mobile app have been developed and are maintained by the CIRB (Informatics Centre for the Brussels Region). The original idea was inspired by MySociety's FixMyStreet. The project was directed and adapted for the Brussels-Capital Region by the CIRB from the Open Source project code fixmystreet.ca of visiblegovernment.ca.
The BRIC has been working actively on a new version of Fix My Street, which is now available online.
When a user reports an incident, the system will automatically indicate other incidents in the vicinity, in order to avoid duplication.
The public can make comments or add photos to incidents created by other people, even if the incident has not yet been validated.
The summary of the incident gives the name of the service responsible, a telephone number and the date of the most recent action taken. The comments and photos are displayed on a timeline.
A map is available for consultation (“See all incidents” tab), showing all the problems reported in a given zone.
Members of the public can report a problem via their smartphone, even if there is no network or GPS signal. Off-network spots are located on the basis of the street names and numbers recorded when FMS is installed on the smartphone. Incident reports are sent pre-recorded when conditions permit.
Incidents remedied as part of seasonal campaigns (such as ground marking) will be displayed, with the date when the work is scheduled.
The highway managers also have a range of new functions to speed up exchanges of information and resolution times: integration of various levels of priority, possibility of merging two incidents, name and contact details of the service concerned, the person in charge and professionals who have already intervened regarding an accident.
Adding comments and pictures is also possible. Then citizens can forward the problem (with mandatory reporting of their email address) and follow the evolution of their report. | 2019-04-19T02:33:07 | https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/news/all-communes-brussels-use |
