UCSD's Charter Pharmacy Class Achieves Top Scores in National Licensure Exam
The charter graduating class of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences received top scores in the 2006 national and state pharmacy licensure exams. The 24 members of the charter class entered the Skaggs School in 2002 and were the first to complete the four-year program leading to the doctorate in pharmacy (Pharm.D.)
According to school officials, the average score of the 24 members the Skaggs School's 2006 graduating class was well above both the California state and national average for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination™ (NAPLEX®), developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy® and utilized by the boards of pharmacy as part of their assessment of competence to practice pharmacy. All 24 Skaggs School charter graduates passed the exam on their first attempt.
"Successes of this nature clearly demonstrate that the University of California made a great investment in these students and in starting a professional pharmacy program at UCSD," said Palmer Taylor, Ph.D., founding dean of the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science and Associate Vice Chancellor of Health Sciences at UCSD. "Continuation of this support will pay dividends in healthcare and pharmaceutical research across the State of California for years to come."
After graduation from an accredited pharmaceutical program and prior to licensing by the state, prospective pharmacists must demonstrate competency to practice pharmacy.
NAPLEX measures three areas of competence: safe and effective pharmacotherapy and optimizing therapeutic outcomes; safe and accurate preparation and dispensing of medications; and providing healthcare information and promoting public health.
The first group of 17 Skaggs graduates who took the exam in summer 2006 scored an average of 125.65 out of a possible 150 points, with the California state average being 113.4 and national average, 107.02. The seven remaining students took the test in fall 2006. Their average score of 121.14 compared to a state average of 101.35 and national average of 93.18.
UCSD's Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is the second public school of pharmacy in California; its partner school in the University of California system is UC San Francisco, which has offered pharmacy degrees for over a century.

7 Actors whose characters are doing the same thing in almost every movie (7 pics)
Fans of movies have certainly noticed that some actors often do the same thing, same movements in many movies, but the question is whether these are their "signature thing" or just a lack of the director's ideas. Who are these actors, what are the same "things" they do, see more about it below.
We present to you 7 photos that show that some actors use the same thing in different movies.
1. Angelina Jolie with weapons
We all remember well her great role as Lara Croft in the movie "Tomb Raider" for which she had to take yoga classes, and kickboxing lessons. She also had to learn to handle weapons, she taught that by a tutor from Great Britain's Elite Forces. She has also used these tricks in many other movies.

2. Matthew McConaughey's abs
Early in his career, he starred in romantic movies and comedies, and it often happened that he had to be shirtless in movies. He is now making more serious movies but is still happy to show off his abs.

Review: Child 44 (2015)
A boring whodunnit masked in criticism thirty years past its sell-by-date
A review of Child 44
You could be forgiven for thinking that Child 44, directed by Daniel Espinosa and based on the novel of the same name by Tom Rob Smith, is a run-of-the-mill mystery/detective movie, only set in Soviet Russia. Based on the talent connected to the project you could also be forgiven for thinking that it's a good film. Unfortunately, neither is true. It's not the fault of the talent connected to the project, who do well with what they're given, but rather the fault of the project itself. To put it simply, it's too complicated thematically for its own good, because Child 44 isn't the run-of-the-mill-detective story, it's an examination of the Soviet system and the dehumanisation that comes from a totalitarian regime masquerading as a detective story. That might work for a novel, but for a film (at least this one) it doesn't. And that's terrible.
The protagonist, Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy), is an officer of the MGB, and it's not until after he's been declared persona non-grata, made exile and forced to go against those he cared about the most does he begin to question the system. Not rebel against, question. Leo isn't unwantedly cruel, though; when tracking a veterinarian, Leo does punish the his fellow MGB officer, Vasily Nikitin (Joel Kinnamon) for executing a pair of farmers in front of their daughters, so there is that. I mean, he does an evil job, but at least Leo isn't too evil himself, so we are supposed to like him, but it's difficult to reconcile the fact that we're supposed to like Demidov whilst also showing that he supports a regime that is shown to be destructive and dehumanising.
In a situation like that who is the audience to emphasise with?
I have no idea. Honestly, I don't. When watching Child 44 I wanted the murderer to get caught, but I was also very much aware that he was created by the very system that's chasing him, and I couldn't emphasize with that system because… Well, it's the Stalin era Soviet Union. In fact, I couldn't emphasize with any of the characters – not Leo, not Raisa Demidova (Noomi Rapace), not General Mesterov (Gary Oldman). As a viewer, that's frustrating, but not as frustrating as the thick Russian accent that Daniel Espinosa had the cast adopt. Why? I have no idea. Perhaps it was thought that by doing so they could better unify the cast and to remind people that this is definitely set in Soviet Russia, as if such a constant reminder was even necessary, or perhaps they wanted to avoid a Hunt for Red October (1990) type situation. Maybe they just didn't want to pull a Valkyrie (2008) and be accused of just not caring. Whatever the reason why, ultimately the actors – many of them known to be exceedingly talented from other roles – seem wasted. Honestly, sometimes I felt like I was watching a Yakov Smirnoff skit playing in front of me.
In terms of cinematography and direction, Child 44 is nothing groundbreaking. It's dark and gritty, sure, but not stylish. There's nothing beautiful here to look at and comment upon – even scenes set in the Russian countryside have had a grey and dull filter put to them. On the one hand, having the scenes set in Moscow and industrial spaces filmed through a grey filter makes sense and helps to reinforce the depressing nature of the setting but its overwhelming use – particularly in scenes set in the Russian countryside – just "drowns" out the film in grittiness. If I'm going to be honest, a lot of the time watching this film felt like looking at a dusty piece of metal.
You could argue that I'm being too harsh, that it's just a detective film, but – and I can't stress this enough – it's not. It's clear that the detective plot merely exists to facilitate a criticism of the Soviet Union. With that in mind, you could also say that a film such as this requires a more nuanced reading of morality and that I'm not analysing the film closely enough, but honestly, it's not that kind of film, either. It sits awkwardly on the border between the two extremes and fails to satisfy either. But for all its faults I have to give Child 44 praise for being the first movie I've ever seen that suffers from being both overcomplicated and too simple.
A criticism of the Soviet System of dehumanisation is a good idea for a film; if handled well, it can be thoughtful, insightful, and certainly heart breaking. Likewise, a detective story set in Soviet Russia could be very interesting and provide an interesting look into events and situations rarely discussed in mass media. In either one of these two narratives there's a lot of scope for story development, and I'd argue that on paper the two narrative strands (social criticism and detective story) should work together, but unfortunately in the way in which Daniel Espinosa has directed Smith's novel it just doesn't work. And that's a shame because the basic premise is there and there was some real talent attached to this film. It's just a shame that the premise and the talent was wasted here.
An interesting experiment, but ultimately disappointing.

Social Media Fueled Russian Protests Despite Government Attempts To Censor
By Kat Lonsdorf
Olga Maltseva
People attend a rally in support of jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny in Saint Petersburg on Saturday.
Protests exploded across Russia over the weekend, fueled largely by videos posted to social media, despite attempts by the Russian government to censor content across various platforms. The protesters braved extreme cold, police brutality and mass arrests, calling for the release of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was detained last week shortly after returning to the country.
Social media helped spark and organize the protests, after Navalny called on his supporters to take to the streets on Saturday. Videos and posts promoting action quickly went viral, particularly on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. TikTok videos with the hashtags involving "Free Navalny" and "23 January" garnered more than 200 million combined views by Thursday, according to the news site Open Media.
Young people in particular began filming themselves dressing for upcoming rallies, or as The Moscow Times noted, removing Russian President Vladimir Putin's portrait hanging in classrooms and often replacing it with Navalny's photo.
But the Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor quickly jumped to pressure social media platforms to remove videos that it said called for minors to participate in protests, warning that it was illegal for them to do so. On Friday, the government claimed that 38% of all offending videos on TikTok, 50% on YouTube and 17% on Instagram had been removed. By Saturday Roskomnadzor said more messages had been deleted on TikTok and Russian social media app Vkontakte. Facebook and Google, the owners of Instagram and YouTube respectively, expressed uncertainty about the accuracy of the numbers, Gizmodo reported.
The attempt at restricting social media communication didn't stop protesters from showing up in the tens of thousands in dozens of cities across Russia, from the island of Sakhalin, just north of Japan, all the way to Moscow, posting on social media along the way and begging for the world to watch.
In Irkutsk, near the Mongolian boarder, thousands chanted "We will not leave!"

By Sunday, over 3,500 demonstrators across the country had been detained, according to OVD-Info, an activist group that monitors arrests and protests. The group said it had never tracked so many arrests.
The U.S. State Department condemned the violence and arrests, citing the Russian government's attempt to control social media platforms and tighten restrictions on independent media.
"Continued efforts to suppress Russians' rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, the arrest of opposition figure Aleksey Navalny, and the crackdown on protests that followed are troubling indications of further restrictions on civil society and fundamental freedoms," said department spokesperson Ned Price in a statement. "We call on Russian authorities to release all those detained for exercising their universal rights and for the immediate and unconditional release of Aleksey Navalny."
Anton Svetushkov, a business student attending the protests on Saturday night, told NPR it was his first rally ever. Even as arrests were happening around him, he said he was ready to be there.
"There is a certain point where you say, OK, now I have to go beyond my own insecurities and just step up," Svetushkov said.

808s / Best of 2019 / Yearly Best Of
Best of 2019: Top 25 Albums
Posted on December 28, 2019 by Sam Atkins	Leave a comment
25) Heavy Is The Head – Stormzy
Released just days ago, the second Stormzy record isn't the album I expected at all. It's such an introspective and personal album from arguably the biggest new name in UK rap in years who could easily have delivered a typical album of bangers. Of course there's some here, Own It is an undeniable hit, but it's on tracks like Rachaels Little Brother and Rainfall that Stormzy truly shines. Perhaps the highs aren't as high as on his tremendous debut, but there's plenty here I loved.
24) Everyday Life – Coldplay
Everyday Life isn't Coldplay's best work, they haven't really been on top form in a while now, but as I fan I'm really enjoying them really try and push their sound. The Kaleidescope EP from 2017 felt like their most experimental moment in years and Everyday Life really takes this even further. Church is a gorgeous mixture of eastern sound and typical Coldplay instrumentation, Guns is an acoustic led, ironic take on the current gun control problem, it's strange to hear the band so vocal on records when they've usually just kept that to interviews. There's some bad music here, certainly, but there's also the likes of Arabesque, so for me it was a really worthwhile album.
23) stages – Cassadee Pope
I don't think I've seen a single person in my real or social media life even mention this album from Cassadee Pope. As an unapologetic fan of country-pop this album is brilliant and provides a short sharp shot of catchy memorable songs like very few albums did this year. If The Voice UK brought us one good thing it was Becky Hill and for The Voice US, the same can be said about Cassadee Pope. I've Been Good, Distracted, FYI, One More Red Light and Take Me Home are should-have-been country pop smashes if I've ever heard one.
22) Hey, I'm Just Like You – Tegan and Sara
It's hard to think of another group that could get away with creating an album entirely out of snippets of songs they wrote when they were teenagers, but somehow Tegan and Sara pulled it off this year. There are some of my all time favourite T&S songs on this record, I Know I'm Not The Only One is a killer hook with a raw edge that they didn't seem to have on their last album. There's an innocence in the songwriting here that I love, where lyrics fall easily, with no need for complicated metaphor or overthought phrasing. This is a youthful pop album performed by genre veterans, that consistently sounds like a Tegan and Sara album.
21) No Words Left – Lucy Rose
I had never even heard of Lucy Rose before 2019. One listen to No Words Left and it felt like I'd known her my entire life. There's so much emotion and life in these songs. Treat Me Like a Woman is effortlessly smooth, I absolutely love Lucy's vocals on tracks like this where she can soar but then bring it right back to such a small and intimate sound. The album is produced in a way that allows everything to expand and breathe out, before becoming very small again. A new discovery, but a brilliant one.
20) Dedicated – Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen is 4/4 for albums she has released since Call Me Maybe that have my best of the year lists. I often find it exhausting when certain groups of people act like all of pop music is shit compared to Carly Rae Jepsen, but every now and again I hear a song and can't help but wonder if they are right after all. The Sound is terrific, Now THat I've Found You and Want You In My Room are absolute belters. Too Much is one of the year's catchiest hooks and opener Julien is a smooth disco moment. Dedicated continues the trend of CRJ releasing pretty great pop tunes, which is a trend I hope doesn't end any time soon.
19) Jaime – Brittany Howard
Brittany Howard has so much soul on this album. A track like Baby just oozes that classic soul sound, but everything is so distinctive here. Jaime is such a diverse record and it feels like one of the first times we've been able to see Brittany Howard as a fully fledged artist, not just as the frontwoman of an great band; Alabama Shakes. The record takes us through different genres, feels personal and emotional and still allows enough bonkers moments like 13th Century Metal to happen along the way.
18) Hoodies All Summer – Kano
'Hoodies all summer/'Cause teardrops from the sky/Only seem to fall on you and I', Grime has been waiting for an album like Hoodies All Summer for a long time and on highlight Teardrops Kano touches on just about everything broken about Britain in 2019, which carries over the entirety of Hoodies All Summer. I loved Kano's last album, Made in the Manor, but for me there's something so much more important and vital about the music on this album. The juxtaposition of the verses against the high pitched vocals on Trouble is thrilling, the moment where real life knife-crime audio is heard against a choir is spectacular.
17) Walk Through Fire – Yola
The year's best debut country album coming from a British act is not something I would have predicted for 2019, but Yola made it happen. That powerful voice carries these songs to huge heights, Faraway Look opens the album in such a massive way. Yola delivers these songs in such a dynamic way that even people who say they dislike the genre will find something to admire here. What an amazing way to introduce yourself to the industry, a true gem in 2019.
16) GIRL – Maren Morris
My expectations were very high for how Maren Morris would follow up both mega-pop-hit The Middle and the outstanding debut album Hero. GIRL is a much more organic sounding record than that, full of acoustic instrumentation and less produced vocals. There's the same energy as on Hero on Flavour, 'Shut up and sing, well hell no I won't', while A Song For Everything is a gorgeous mid tempo nostalgia trip. GIRL manages to continue the massive early promise from Maren Morris, even if it doesn't truly reach the heights of that debut classic.
15) Cuz I Love You – Lizzo
Talk about people making an impact in 2019, Lizzo has to be top of the list. She's the 'pudding in the proof' after all. Cuz I Love You is such a consistently enjoyable record; the VOCALS on opening title track; the self love anthem Soulmate; the disco bop of the year Juice; the feminist reclaim of throwing a ball 'Like a girl'; every single track is essential. I actually think the album works best without adding on Truth Hurts and Boys tacked onto the end, the slinky Lingerie is a much better way to close out the record. It may not be the most thought provoking album on this list, but my god it's one of the most fun.
14) Wildcard – Miranda Lambert
Miranda Lambert is one of country music's most dependable artists and Wildcard is no exception. This a much more traditional Miranda album, than The Weight of These Wings or last year's Pistol Annies album Interstate Gospel, but there's still so much to appreciate here. Few artists have such a control over their own performance on each album, here Miranda sounds especially great on the likes of How Dare You Love and the terrific closer Dark Bars. The comic timing on All Comes Out In The Wash is genius, while Bluebird is yet another stellar Miranda mid-tempo. Probably the most consistent country act of the decade, Wildcard is yet another essential record from Miranda Lambert.
13) Father of the Bride – Vampire Weekend
Father of the Bride is bonkers. At times folksy country duets with Danielle Haim, at others Spanish handclaps offset by distorted vocals. It's a properly enthralling listen though and Ezra takes the lead in such a unique way that every listen brings something new. At times you'll be listening to a song like Unbearably White expecting it to be just another typical predictable Indie Alternative radio song and then wham, that loud string noise hits and you remember this is an interesting album after all. Sympathy was an early highlight of mine, but I equally love closer, Jerusalem, New York, Berlin that manages to sound like it's about to explode into a massive dance track, but barely moves on from being a vocal only track.
12) Sucker Punch – Sigrid
I do feel bad including an album that features some of the best songs of 2017 and 2018 on it alongside just a handful of properly new tracks, but Sucker Punch delivers exactly that as a pop record. Opening title trac very nearly became my song of 2018 and here it kicks off a string of thoughtful, emotive and properly banging pop tunes. Never Mine is heart breaking, but impossibly catchy in that 'driving in an 80s movie' kind of way. Sight of You and Mine Right Now are out and out danceable bops, while Basic and Level Up recall the more intimate sound of some of the Raw EP from last year. The inclusion of (the still brilliant) Dynamite and Don't Kill My Vibe may be cheating a little, but they keep the quality threshold here suitably high. A terrific long awaited debut album.
11) i,i – Bon Iver
i,i is like a Bon Iver Greatest Hits album. It pulls from everything that made their first 3 albums so great, the starkness of For Emma, Forever Ago; the soundscape and massive scale of Bon Iver, Bon Iver and the distorted electronic emotion of 22, A Million. In the end this combines to become Bon Iver's most accessible album yet, full of intricate detail and craziness at times, but stacked with memorable moments and some genuine choruses for the first time ever. Holyfields, is phenomenal, Justin sounds so so good here harmonizing with himself. Faith has this epic quality to them, while opener iMi is crafted from so many different interpolated songs and sounds that the end result sounding as polished as this is pretty stunning. i,i is yet another terrific album from a band I can't help but feel drawn to.
10) Saves the World – MUNA
MUNA happily inform the audience at every one of their shows that they are 'The greatest band in the world'. For the 4 minutes of Pink Light on Saves The World I believe them. Their music is joyous in a way that very little else on this list can come close to, but thanks to a truly distinctive vocal and songwriting style they manage to not sound like anyone else. Number One Fan goes OFF, Stayaway is heartbreaking, It's Gonna Be Okay Baby is devastatingly personal and yet feels so hopeful too. I wrote about how important it is to hear music written by and performed by artists who aren't just cis-gendered straight people and this only makes Saves the World even more universal in its appeal.
9) MAGDALENE – FKA twigs
MAGDALENE was not an immediate favourite of mine on first listen. Unlike her debut and the incredible EP M3LL155X where I was immediately transfixed by every track, it took a bit more work. I'm glad I put that extra effort in though as MAGDALENE is arguably FKA Twigs' best work yet. Every song is built from a simple piano line, every song written from that starting point, which brings this sense of discovery and unexpected danger every time the instrumentation moves away from the Piano. On sad day the production is so thrilling, the vocals here and on tracks like the heartbreaking mirrored heart you can really hear the pain in her voice. Once you reach the spectacular Cellophane as the album closes it's hard to imagine a more personal album from FKA Twigs than this. I absolutely love this album.
8) Norman Fucking Rockwell – Lana Del Rey
One of the most influential artists of the decade delivers her best album in years. Norman Fucking Rockwell manages to be a really bold and daring album that also stays perfectly true to Lana as a artist. This is classic songwriting, but written with such modern wit and edge, this is an album that opens with the line 'God damn man child, you fucked me so good that I almost said I Love You'. It's that control over her own artistic direction that puts NFR way ahead of the last few Lana records, the likes of Venice Bitch, Mariner's Apartment Complex and How to dissapear being some of her all time best work.
7) Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 – Foals
I can honestly say that before 2019 I had barely even heard of Foals never mind listened to one of their albums. Maybe it's because my expectations were completely different to what I ended up hearing that Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1 had such a huge impact on me, but I was obsessed with this album a long time. In Degrees is like a Euro-pop dance track, while On The Luna has this amazing awkwardness to its hook. White Onions is a storming rock moment and Exits is full of crashing energy. What makes this album special though is how every song and the album overall develops with every minute. There's something unexpected at every corner, by the time you reach the bt where it all goes off near the end of Sunday you not only know the drill, but are fully prepared to join in with the hands in the air, 90s dance track style jumping up and down moment.
6) thank u, next – Ariana Grande
'This is one small step for woman/One giant leap for woman-kind' That's what thank u, next feels like in pop music. The album where everything aligns for the biggest popstar in the world for the first time. Released just months after the enjoyable but inconsistent Sweetener, thank u, next is front to back incredible personal pop music. Here's an album with 3 worldwide #1 hits, including one of the year's greatest pop records break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored, but there's at least 4 or 5 other songs that could be #1 hits here too. Bloodline is catchy as hell, NASA is a live favourite, In My Head has some of the albums best vocal moments. It's ghostin that's the centerpiece and emotional core though, for a woman who has gone through so much shit over the last few years, the fact she was able to write and record such a brutally honest song is unbelievable. thank u, next is to Ariana albums what Into You was to Ariana singles, the moment the music and the artist finally aligned.
5) Heard It In A Past Life – Maggie Rogers
The first truly great album of 2019, Heard It In A Past Life has been a constant through this year for me. There's this unique way that Maggie Rogers constructs her songs, the way everything is layered together is unlike any other artist and as a debut album Heard It In A Past Life mangaes to capture her writing and production style so much more than the usual label led efforts we hear. Listen to Burning and it's the way the opening drum loop and percussion melds into the guitar in the second verse building and building each time as Maggie's performance becomes more and more frenetic. There's moments like this across the record on Give A Little, the knockout Retrograde and a beefed up version of On and Off. Fallingwater is still a terrific pop record, while Light On is dying for a festival singalong. It's so amazing to see a debut album capturing the essence of an artist as perfectly as this album does.
4) WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? – Billie Eilish
The biggest artist of the year, the biggest songwriters of the year, the biggest album of the year; all before Billie turned 18 years old last week. WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is the album on this list that has probably been written and talked about the most elsewhere on the internet, so I'm not going to tell everyone what they already know. This is a daring, unique, exciting, catchy, unapologetically youthful, thrilling debut album from the best new artist of the last few years. With songs like you should see me in a crown, bad guy, bury a friend and I love you, Billie Eilish and Finneas have created the album that will define the next decade of pop music. In 10 years time, every end of decade list will mention this album as the moment pop music changed for good. What an album.
3) SOUND & FURY – Sturgill Simpson
SOUND & FURY is not an album I would have expected to be anywhere near this list. An Americana star writing a bluesy, pop rock concept album with an accompanying Netflix anime film? Nothing about this album makes any sense, then you sit and listen to it and it's even more shocking how good it is. I'm baffled that I seem to be the only person who has reacted so strongly to SOUND & FURY, as in my view it's such an incredible cross genre album full of sharp songwriting. Sturgill has always been an outsider, but here he's going in on the industry, his peers and the people who are just out to make money from him. Make Art Not Friends isn't just a song here it's a sentiment across most of the album; the electrifying The Good Look features the cutting opening lyric 'The Star Of David don't belong to the David at all/He borrowed it from Peter just so he could pay off Paul/Peter copyrighted the star and now he owns a claimBut a star is still a star by any other name'. It's totally unique, but as a front to back album SOUND & FURY is as good as just about anything in any of the genres Sturgill jumps into across these 40 minutes.
2) KIWANUKA – Michael Kiwanuka
I was already a Michael Kiwanuka fan, I think his development on second album Love & Hate with songs like Black Man in a White World and Cold Little Heart was amazing to see. KIWANUKA makes everything that came before it feel like the prelude, this is the main event. It's a striking political album that takes a hard look at life as a black man in Britain in 2019, but it's also so personal that every song feels like Michael is talking so openly with the listener. The way the album develops with short interludes, spoken word moments gives everything this gravitas and makes the soulful performances so much richer when they arrive. Solid Ground is especially a standout for me, where the vocal performance really comes to the forefront on KIWANUKA. Rolling, You Ain't The Problem and Living In Denial use horns to great effect, the scuzzy guitar on these tracks making the album feel like a classic prog era record. Hero is the centepiece of the record and following the extended intro ends up as an incredible piece of composition. I love the depth of sound on every song here, it's a painstakingly crafted album that showcases one of the greatest artists we have in Britian right now in his best light ever.
1) GREY Area – Little Simz
For a brief moment or two, I was debating whether to place anything from the top 4 at this spot instead (Weirdly all of them are written in All Caps), but one listen of GREY Area and I'm right back to the first moment I heard this terrific album. 10 songs, each showcasing a completely different side of Little Simz, but each bringing together every aspect of her energy as an artist perfectly. I could mention every single song on this album and you know what, I'm going to, because I can't select a highlight at all. 'I'm a boss in a fucking dress' on Boss is pretty accurate; Therapy is such a vibe, recalling Blueprint era Jay-Z, which she perfectly references on Offence 'I'm Jay-Z on a bad day, Shakespeare on my worst days'; the Little Dragon section on Pressure is phenomenal; a hook that mentions Mortal Kombat and Crash Bandicoot on 101 FM? Amazing; Selfish is smooth as hell, I love how the piano section jams along with her verses; Sherbet Sunset is an underrated deep dive into relationships; I love how Wounds builds and builds in this threatening way eventually becoming Venom which is FULL of exactly that in it's oustanding fiery verses; leaving closer Flowers which sees Michael Kiwanuka and Little Simz reflect on their heroes who died so young. As an album, Little Simz is so self assured at every single moment. There is never a time when you think, perhaps this was so and so who pushed for this, or question why the collaborations are happening, it's entirely organic and coming from an artist who has now established themselves as the greatest doing it in the UK. I remember seeing Little Simz perform on Jools Holland back in 2015, I was instantly a fan and was desperate for her to break through in a big way. Three albums in she has delivered a career changing and career defining album, that brings together everything that makes her special, but never in a selfish way, the music is clearly the priority for her and it shows on every second of this fantastic album. 2019 was the year of Little Simz.

With this expansion, the ECFF quarantine now includes all of Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orleans, and Wayne Counties. This action is necessary to prevent the spread of ECFF to non-infested areas of the United States, while maintaining commercial cherry production and marketing within the state. The APHIS website reflects the expansion of this quarantine and contains a description of all the current federal fruit fly quarantine areas.
APHIS Updates the Golden Nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) Regulated Area in Suffolk and Nassau Counties in New York (Aug 24, 2021)
Effective immediately, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is removing 45,562.067 acres from the golden nematode (GN) regulated area in Suffolk County, New York and refining the global positioning system (GPS) points for the descriptions of the regulated area in the town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, New York. APHIS is removing these areas based on survey results and other criteria in the "Canada and United States Guidelines on Surveillance and Phytosanitary Actions for the Potato Cyst Nematodes, Globodera rostochiensis and Globodera pallida".
Since 2010, APHIS, working closely with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYS AGM), has removed 1,186,693.79 acres from the GN-regulated area in New York.

Asian Longhorned Tick Found in Kentucky (Jul 21, 2020)
University of Kentucky. College of Agriculture, Food, and Environment.
The Asian longhorned tick, which preys on a variety of hosts including humans and wild and domestic animals, has been found in Kentucky. This new tick is known to attack animals in large numbers and will be a concern to livestock producers, wildlife enthusiasts and pet owners. The tick has been found in small numbers on elk in Martin County and black bear in Floyd County. It was found in large numbers on a bull in Metcalfe County in the south-central part of the state. Individuals who find a usually large number of ticks on their pet or livestock should contact their local veterinarian. Those who find single ticks they think might be an Asian longhorned tick should work with their county extension agent for agriculture and natural resources to submit the sample to UK entomologists for positive identification.
DEC and DAM Release Fall 2019 Update on Spotted Lanternfly in New York State (Nov 6, 2019)
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
The New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and Agriculture and Markets (DAM) today announced that although freezing temperatures will kill off adult spotted lanternflies (SLF), the public is urged to stay vigilant and report overwintering egg masses. In the fall, SLF will lay their eggs on any flat surface such as vehicles, firewood, outdoor furniture, stone or other items which can be inadvertently transported to new areas. If this insect becomes established in New York, it could impact New York's forests, agricultural and tourism industries. "To date, there has not been a documented spotted lanternfly infestation in New York, but I encourage the public to stay aware and be ready to report egg masses or other signs of this insect to help prevent infestations," said DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos.
Assistance from the public is crucial in limiting the movement of SLF and protecting New York's natural resources. DEC and DAM are urging the public to inspect outdoor items such as vehicles, outdoor furniture and camping equipment for egg masses or insects, and report any sightings by sending photos and location information to spottedlanternfly@dec.ny.gov.

Governor Gordon Launches Wyoming Invasive Species Initiative (Oct 1, 2019)
State of Wyoming.
Reflecting his goal of making Wyoming a national leader in the battle against invasive species, Governor Mark Gordon announced today he has launched an initiative to address terrestrial invasive plants in the state. The initiative will be comprised of two teams -- a Policy Team and a Technical Team, each comprised of local, state and federal government representatives, private citizens representing industry and agricultural groups, as well as scientists and practitioners. The two teams will work cooperatively to develop recommendations for the Governor in the context of a large-scale strategy for invasive species management. Terrestrial invasive species represent a significant threat to Wyoming's forests, rangelands and agricultural lands with varying levels of impact.

New Website Offers Help Identifying and Managing Woody Invasive Plants (Aug 13, 2020)
Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
For landscapes plagued by autumn olive or entangled in oriental bittersweet, a new website offers help identifying and managing woody invasive plants like these. WoodyInvasives.org, developed by the Woody Invasives of the Great Lakes Collaborative, contains a wealth of information about how to distinguish woody invasive species from similar beneficial plants, an interactive map showing how these species are regulated by Great Lakes jurisdictions, detailed management approaches and noninvasive woody plant ideas for gardeners and landscape designers. "We developed the WIGL Collaborative website to help people learn to identify the woody invasive plants around them and to feel empowered to start controlling them on their properties or in their favorite green places," said Clair Ryan, coordinator of the Midwest Invasive Plant Network, the organization leading the effort.
NYS DEC Encourages Delaware River Anglers to Report Invasive Snakehead Sightings (Aug 26, 2020)
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today encouraged anglers in the Delaware River to be on the lookout for northern snakehead, an invasive fish native to Southeast Asia. A northern snakehead was recently caught in the Callicoon area of the Delaware River. Given the right environmental conditions, this invasive species can prey on and compete with other fish, upsetting the natural balance of local ecosystems. "Northern snakeheads are listed federally as injurious wildlife, and New York State law prohibits their live possession," Commissioner Seggos said. "Any snakehead caught should be killed immediately and not released back into the water." In the event an angler catches a northern snakehead, DEC advises anglers to report the catch to the regional NYS DEC fisheries office, DEC's Invasive Species Bureau at isinfo@dec.ny.gov or (518) 402-9425, or submit a report through iMapinvasives.
Public Comments Sought on Draft Integrated Letter Report, Programmatic Environmental Assessment for Inspection Stations in Upper Missouri River Basin (Feb 16, 2021)
DOD. USACE. Omaha District.
A draft integrated letter report and programmatic environmental assessment has been developed to determine the economic and environmental impacts of federal participation in state-managed watercraft inspection programs along the Upper Missouri River Basin in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska. Public comments on the draft EA will be accepted until March 2, 2021.
The existing watercraft inspection programs are managed collaboratively by the states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska, where watercraft transported along highways are inspected for the presence of aquatic invasive species and decontaminated when detected. If approved, federal participation in the program would be cost-shared (50 percent) with each of the states, and would employ a regional strategy to identify locations that would provide the greatest likelihood of preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species to reservoirs operated and maintained by the Corps in the Upper Missouri River Basin.
USDA and Wyoming Sign Shared Stewardship Agreement to Improve Forests and Grasslands (Aug 25, 2020)
United States Department of Agriculture.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue joined Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon in a virtual ceremony to sign a Shared Stewardship Agreement between USDA's Forest Service and the State of Wyoming (PDF | 2.06 MB). The Shared Stewardship Agreement establishes a framework for federal and state agencies to promote active forest management, improve collaboration, and respond to ecological challenges and natural resource concerns in Wyoming. Under the agreement, the State of Wyoming and USDA will work together on forest and grassland restoration across all land ownerships, with a focus on protecting at-risk communities and watersheds from wildfire. The USDA Forest Service initiative for cross-boundary land management is described in the 2018 document Toward Shared Stewardship Across Landscapes: An Outcome-Based Investment Strategy (PDF | 14 MB). This strategy addresses the increasing challenges faced by federal, state, and private managers of forests and rangeland, including catastrophic wildfires, invasive species, degraded watersheds, and insects and disease.
USDA Announces 2020 Plans for Asian Longhorned Beetle Eradication Efforts in New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio (Mar 19, 2020)
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is announcing its plans for combatting the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) in New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio in 2020. "Just last year we declared eradication of ALB from Brooklyn and Queens in New York City, ending the city's 23-year-long battle with the beetle," said Osama El-Lissy, APHIS' Plant Protection and Quarantine Deputy Administrator. "This year, we've mapped out a sound strategy that will further our efforts to eliminate this pest from the remaining areas of this country where it still has a foothold."
Every year, APHIS evaluates and determines the most effective options to achieve ALB eradication. In 2020, the ALB program will focus on inspecting trees in quarantined areas in New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio, and removing infested trees at no cost to property owners. The program will not apply insecticide treatments this year. In addition, program officials will monitor for the beetle's presence inside and around each area, respond to service calls, conduct training sessions for compliance agreement holders, and perform outreach.

White-nose Syndrome Detected in Bats at Devils Tower National Monument, Wyoming: Two Bats Are State's First Confirmed Cases (Jun 15, 2021)
DOI. NPS. Devils Tower National Monument.
Wildlife researchers have confirmed the presence of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats at Devils Tower National Monument. While this is the first confirmation of WNS in the state, the fungus that causes WNS, Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), was potentially detected in southeast Wyoming as early as 2018. Biologists from the University of Wyoming discovered evidence of WNS during surveys completed in early May 2021, when they captured and sampled bats to test for the fungus.
The NPS will be working closely with the climbing community at Devils Tower to better understand and develop guidance for climbers to help care for and protect Wyoming's bat populations – including how to safely clean and disinfect climbing gear. Climbers and cavers who have used gear or clothing in WNS-infected areas should not re-use them in areas not already known to have Pd fungus. If you see a sick or dead bat, report it to park rangers or Game and Fish biologists, but do not touch or pick up the bat.

Delta Corporation released a trading update for the third quarter and nine months to December 2018. According to the statement, demand was buoyant driven by consumer perception of favourable pricing as the business maintained stable prices since 2013. However, the acute shortage of foreign currency led to disruptions to business operations particularly the soft drinks business. Below are the key highlights of the trading update;
Lager beer volumes grew by 27% over prior year for the quarter and increased 43% for the nine months. The business endeavoured to meet the high consumer demand in spite of the challenges in accessing some imported raw materials;
The Sorghum beer volume in Zimbabwe grew by 15% above prior year for the quarter and 6% for the nine months. There were supply gaps due to frictional shortages of packaging materials and extended plant breakdowns mostly occasioned by lack of foreign currency for spares and contractual services. Chibuku Super contributed 85% of the volume;
Natbrew Plc recorded a volume growth of 4% for the quarter and 9% for the nine months. There are positive volume trends following the relaunch of Chibuku Super in the 1.25 litre pack;
The Sparkling beverages volume declined by 66% compared to prior year for the quarter and decreased by 26% for the nine months. There were extended production stoppages arising from limited access to foreign currency required for importing key raw materials and the failure to clear arrear payments to The Coca Cola Company (TCCC);
Delta has entered into binding agreements to acquire the 100% stake currently held by Diageo Plc in United National Breweries Proprietary Limited (UNB). UNB is the leading brewer of traditional beer and owns the Chibuku brand in South Africa. The transaction is expected to close in H1 2019 and is subject to regulatory approvals in Zimbabwe and South Africa;
Shareholders are reminded that Delta is trading under a cautionary issued with respect to the notice received from TCCC advising of an intention to terminate the Bottler's Agreements with the Group entities (Notified Intention). The discussions amongst the parties are ongoing;
Overall, group revenues increased by 5% for the quarter and 24% (19% organic growth) for the nine months reflecting the growth in the beer businesses which was weighed down by depressed outturn in soft drinks.
While the business remains profitable and continues to generate positive cash flows, there has been disruptions to operations arising from limited access to foreign currency. The sparkling beverages business has been hard hit (volumes down 26% for the nine months) given the need to import concentrates. We note that Delta lost out on the expected volumes peak during the festive season (Q3 2019). Further, Pepsi has "stolen market share" given that it has been aggressive in terms of market penetration. That said, Delta recently backtracked on a strict USD pricing model after engagements with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) but has managed to push through a 25% price increase. We think this should be able to offset the slump in volumes within the sparking beverages business. Using a conservative revenue growth estimate of 25%, we estimate revenues of USD715m for 2019. Applying a PAT Margin of 15.5% (F18), we anticipate that earnings will be around USD110m, implying a demanding Fwd PER of 32.7x. This is not cheap but the investment thesis remains intact: a well-managed market leader with a diversified product portfolio which cuts across all income groups. As a bell-weather stock which provides a solid route to gaining direct exposure to the country's consumer story, we maintain a HOLD recommendation on the counter.
