It's always been hard for me to separate food from seasons. Right now, all I want is apples, pumpkins, roasts, stews, and lots of savory spices. If you'd asked me 3 months ago about my favorite foods I'd have told you about tomatoes, tacos, seafood, cilantro and fruits.
The act of preparing, serving, and sharing a meal or a morsel with someone.
What I received in the mail was a package containing coconut macaroons. What a wonderful coincidence it was that I was right in the midst of a major coconut jag. I was so surprised, so joyed, so impressed… These were delicious and perfect. Definitely the best macaroons I'd ever had. I couldn't resist eating one immediately, so the picture I have is shy one delicious morsel.
Also, it was a drizzly evening, so the light was crap. It's not a beautiful photo, but it was a beautiful gesture. I adore Wendi, and it was a real honor to get such a lovely gift from her.
We've all done it, right? Eaten a slice of pie for breakfast? Or maybe a piece of cake? A couple of brownies or a stack of cookies? No? I'm the only one? Okay, fine. You clearly have more self control than I do. Well let me tell you, this breakfast will satisfy the urge for something sweet in the morning without breaking your calorie budget. It's simple, it's fast, it's sweet, and it goes amazingly well with your morning coffee. It's chocolate coconut oatmeal, and it's even kinda healthy.
Combine ingredients in a microwave safe bowl with 1/2 cup of water and stir. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes, or until oats are soft and the mixture rises evenly. Stir, serve.
It takes 2 minutes from start to finish, it will satisfy your morning sweet tooth, it's filling, it uses heart-healthy oats, and it's only 135 calories. Does it get any better than that? I think not.
My husband bought me a pressure cooker a few weeks ago, and I'm doing my best to learn how to use it. It's a lot easier then I expected it to be! So far the results have been stunning. I made amazing fall-off-the-bone ribs in just 45 minutes, but this post is not about ribs. It's about my first successful risotto! Every prior attempt at making risotto had resulted in a gummy mess, and a host of complaints from my diners. This one, though, is wonderful. It's fast, and it's so easy. I should have a picture of this recipe, but I don't. Apologies! We ate it too quick to take photos. Trust me, though, it's simple and it's beautiful.
I've been getting things from my CSA that I have never dealt with before. That's actually why I joined the CSA, to push myself out of my culinary comfort zone. Of course I also enjoy the fresh, local, organic produce, and I love being able to support a farmer that lives only a few miles from my home.
This week my share of the harvest included heads of cabbage, napa cabbage, and kohlrabi. Strange as it sounds, I've never worked with cabbage in my kitchen. And I'd never even tasted kohlrabi. So after some discussion with my bff, I decided that an Asian slaw would be my best bet. Let's ignore the fact that I don't care for cole slaw, and I'd never had an Asian slaw before. She told me how she makes hers, I read over a dozen different recipes, and then I dove in. What I ended up with was beautiful and delicious.
I like my pasta sauce chunky. Mighty chunky. Chunkier than any jarred sauce could ever provide, yet I'm too lazy and pressed for time to start completely from scratch. My sauce is a hybrid, using fresh ingredients to bulk up a good store-bought jar of sauce. On this particular day I forgot to buy mushrooms, which was disappointing. Don't be like me. Use mushrooms.
Chop up 2 sweet bell peppers.
And a few tomatoes. This is 6 Roma tomatoes.
Make sure you have some basil. Basil brightens up the whole dish.
Saute the peppers and maybe some onion in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil, until they brown and soften a bit. Add some garlic in there, too. I didn't because I was using a sauce that started pretty garlicky. While they're cooking, brown some ground beef if you're into meat sauce. I am very into meat sauce, so I use 1-1.5 pounds per jar of sauce.
Add your tomatoes and basil.
Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes break down most of the way.
And pour it in. If you're using meat, add it now.

As the start of Vermont's 2013 legislative session draws closer, Efficiency Vermont is tracking several issues that could impact our state's energy sector. Today I'd like to focus on a topic that is likely to generate a lot of discussion in Montpelier over the coming months.
In earlier blog posts, we have talked about the substantial impact of energy efficiency on Vermont's electric usage over the last decade (and, as impressive as that data is, it is important to keep in mind that there is still tremendous potential for additional electric efficiency in Vermont, especially as we consider what our total energy usage footprint is likely to look like in the future. We'll talk more about that in the coming weeks).
In recognition of the progress that has been made, and of the need to devote more effort to reducing our use of heating fuels in our homes and businesses (sometimes referred to as "thermal efficiency" or "weatherization"), the State expanded Efficiency Vermont's scope in 2008 to encompass thermal as well as electric efficiency. At the same time, the Legislature set an ambitious goal: to improve the efficiency of 25% of the state's housing stock (or approximately 80,000 homes) by 25% by the year 2020.
In our work to help homes and businesses reduce their heating costs, a major focus of Efficiency Vermont has been to ensure that there is a strong network of private contractors who are qualified to perform building efficiency upgrades.
" A report set to hit lawmakers' desks in January will promise $1.5 billion in avoided heating costs if Vermont can weatherize 80,000 homes by 2020."
Great strides have been made in this area: in 2005 there were only 3 BPI-certified contractors in the entire state; today, there are almost 80 contracting companies. There is also more interest from homeowners: in 2005 there were 7 Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® projects completed in Vermont; in 2011, there were 799; and in 2012 we are on track to exceed that number substantially. In addition to programs offered by Efficiency Vermont, our state's five weatherization agencies and Vermont Gas Systems also support home energy improvements in the parts of the state they serve. These programs have also seen an increasing demand in recent years –one weatherization program currently has an 18-month waiting list.
With only eight years left to meet our 2020 goal, however, there is still a long way to go. At our current pace we will fall well short of the state's goal. That is why we are encouraged to see that thermal efficiency is back on the priority list for the upcoming legislative session. While a lot of progress has been made, and we are poised to go much further, there is a lot of work to be done.
"… thermal efficiency is about the biggest bang we can get for our buck, and the biggest long-term help we can give to Vermonters of all walks of life."
The financial stakes are huge: in 2010 alone we spent $600 million on fossil fuels to heat our buildings – that amount has doubled since 2000, and it exceeds the revenue of the state's entire agricultural sector. We can slash this spending by investing in efficiency: the typical Efficiency Vermont home improvement project reduces energy use by 30%. As the effort to capture these savings progresses, Efficiency Vermont is looking forward to working with all the stakeholders in helping build an innovative and effective approach to meeting our state's energy efficiency goals. If Vermont wants to continue its leadership role on energy efficiency – and help ensure greater energy independence for our homes and businesses – we can't afford to wait.

Would You Take the COVID-19 Vaccine?
How North Hollywood High School Students Reacted to the Development of a New Treatment for COVID-19
Daniel Billotti, Staff Writer|November 2, 2020
Juan Gaertner via Science Source
On October 22, the FDA approved the drug Veklury (Remdesivir) as a treatment for COVID-19 for use in patients above the age of 12.
This treatment is to be used on patients that require hospitalization and is only to be administered in a hospital or a setting with the same healthcare abilities as a hospital.
This is the first COVID-19 treatment to be approved by the FDA for all hospitalized cases of COVID-19 since Veklury's initial approval on May 1st was only "for emergency use" according to the FDA.
While tests to verify the effectiveness and safety of Veklury are still ongoing, FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn confirmed that the approval "is supported by data from multiple clinical trials that the agency has rigorously assessed and represents an important scientific milestone in the COVID-19 pandemic."
Veklury is the same drug that was taken by President Trump when he contracted the virus in late September. The President expressed approval for the treatment when he said "I want everybody to be given the same treatment as your president because I feel great."
Students of North Hollywood High School expressed their skepticism about this treatment as a survey showed that under 31% of students would take the treatment if they or a loved one was diagnosed with COVID-19.
NHHS student Victor Montes, a junior, communicated that he would feel "uncomfortable taking a drug that may or may not help," he added that he may take it "if the situation becomes dire."
Some students explained that they were concerned with possible side effects. Another student, Keven Escalante, said that he "would want to get it but, there could be some unfortunate side effect".
Zhang Yuwei/Xinhua via Associated Press
Students were less sure when it came to using the treatment on a friend or family member with an increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Less than 8% said "no" to a high-risk family member taking the FDA-approved drug and over 60% noted that they were undecided.
One student explained that even if the drug didn't work on their family member, "it's better than doing nothing at all." However other students, like Christian Lopez, said they would much rather have a hospital take care of them daily to avoid putting them in possible danger.
NHHS students seemed much more willing to take an approved vaccine as more than 53% of respondents said they would take a vaccine if approved by the FDA today.
James Wong, a junior, said he "trusts that the FDA tested and experimented with the solution," and that they "would take it to stay safe and to keep others around [him] safer."
Others were willing to wait to be certain the vaccine is safe. Henry Ayala, a junior, indicated that he would wait no longer than two months to avoid "any potential long-term side effects that may come up."
Most students seem to want to avoid this treatment and wait until a vaccine is approved. Until then, students are urged by health officials to stay safe and follow guidelines that prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Q: Why is the cyclotomic polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$? As defined in Wikipedia (and this is the same definition I was given in class), it is not clear to me why the cyclotomic polynomial is over $\mathbb{Q}$.
It is over $\mathbb{C}$, but I don't see a reason for the coefficient to be in $\mathbb{Q}$.
Can anyone help with this one?

A: It follows from the following formula and induction on n.
$\prod_{d\mid n}\Phi_d(X) = X^n - 1$
Edit
Let $g(X) = \prod_{d\mid n, d < n}\Phi_d(X)$.
By the induction hypothesis $g(X) ∈ \mathbb{Q}[X]$.
Hence $\Phi_n(X) = (X^n - 1)/g(X) ∈ \mathbb{Q}[X]$

Apple Surges To New Record High On Strong iPhone 8 Guidance, Earnings Beat Despite iPhone Sales Miss
With Apple trading just shy of all time highs (and with a quarter trillion in cash on the books), the market was wondering if AAPL can once again surprise to the upside ahead of the all important iPhone 8 quarter, as well as provide some guidance what it plans to do with its cash hoard. And while, there was no explicit guidance on the now $260BN+ in gross cash, Apple has surged after hours on the strong top and bottom line beat, and just as strong guidance, despite a small iPhone sales miss in the current quarter.
Senator Graham: Trump Is Prepared To Strike; "There Is A Military Option To Destroy North Korea"
Appearing on the Today Show earlier this morning, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that President Trump has indicated to him that the administration is prepared to strike North Korea to prevent an attack against the U.S. Pushed on by Matt Lauer on whether a viable military option exists in the region, Graham responded: "They're wrong. There is a military option to destroy North Korea's program and North Korea itself."
Netflix Is Spending Twice As Much As Amazon On Content
When it comes to Netflix and its stratospheric (forward) valuation, the thesis is simple: the company is (so far) the undisputed leader in the arena of internet streaming. As the LA Times summarizes, the global streaming giant today boasts impressive stats: 104 million subscribers worldwide, up 25% from last year and almost quadruple from five years ago. Its series and movies account for more than a third of all prime-time download Internet traffic in North America. Its more than 50 original shows garnered 91 Emmy Award nominations this year, second only to premium cable service HBO.
A Primer On The "Global Sharing Economy" In 20 Charts
This morning, BofA has released a humongous, nearly 200-page "primer" on the global sharing economy which in the eyes of Wall Street and Silicon Valley is the biggest disruptor behind virtually all 21st century business models. Since it is impossible to summarize the report, which will be largely ignored by most of BofA's clients who will instead focus on the hundreds of charts scattered throughout, we will simply summarize the basics as laid out by BofA, and then present some of the more interesting charts, with the remainder to be published in subsequent thematic posts.

Because he doesn't see any commitment to those phrases when he looks at the piles of junk tossed, at will, around Metro Vancouver.
Recently, he saw the remains of an old roof dumped in north Maple Ridge, near Timberline Ranch.
"Someone must have just had a roof replaced and the old one ended up here on 224th Street in the middle of the southbound lane," he said.
He's assuming that the cost for legally disposing waste is so high that people or businesses are compelled to dump their trash wherever they can.
He's also wondering how much that costs the taxpayer when city crews have to move in and clean up the mess.
"When these illegal dumping areas are cleaned up, someone should check for clues throughout the garbage as in the form of a receipt or an old bill. Then perhaps trace this garbage back to whence it came, and collect monies as needed in the form of a huge fine or make them clean up garbage as part of a lesson-learned scenario.

Chinese group plans to recruit translators to work in Mozambique
Maputo, Mozambique, 19 Nov – The Kingho group, a large Chinese company specialised in coal production and chemical products planning to invest in a coal mine in Mozambique, is recruiting staff before launching its operations.
The Kingho group, Macauhub has learned in Maputo, plans to recruit Portuguese and English translators with solid knowledge of Chinese, and other languages.
Recently the group announced it had set up an education fund worth US$1 million to fund 100 scholarships each year for bachelor's degrees and post-graduate courses in the sciences, specifically mining engineering, at Chinese universities.
The agreement signed in Maputo for the creation of the education fund set out the conditions for applying for the scholarships and creation of a commission to manage them between the Chinese and Mozambican authorities.
In order to make up for a lack of human resources in Mozambique, the Chinese group plans to train its own staff, the first step of which was signing the agreement to set up an educational fund. (macauhub)

Recently, Campbell Newman reconfirmed his support of privatisation to more than 1000 business and industry leaders at a corporate lunch.
Despite his announcements that the 'poles and wires' of our electricity assets are not for sale, Campbell Newman put forward potential 'public-private partnerships' and the privatisation of state owned power generators, ports and other key infrastructure that Queenslanders rely on.
These comments by Campbell Newman have highlighted the LNP's longstanding plans for asset privatisations and for big companies to play a greater role in delivering services for Queensland.
Campbell Newman's privatisation is here and there's more to come.
We know that, despite the rhetoric and tricky words like 'contestability', that this privatisation agenda is well and truly underway. People across Queensland are seeing contestability of services hitting hospital services like pathology and pharmacy.
You have the power to be part of the conversation on how Queensland will best deliver its electricity by making your contribution on this discussion paper for the 30-year electricity strategy. Hurry, the time for comment closes in 24 hours.
Campbell Newman's government has been consistent in telling Queenslanders that they shouldn't expect quality public services. His government insists 'we can't afford it'.
It has been empowering to see more and more people like you providing a strong response by saying 'we can't afford not to, we can't afford not to fund quality public health services' and by saying that Queenslanders can do better than Campbell Newman's attempts to lower our expectations, and with it our access to quality public services. Quality public services are the very thing we elect our politicians to deliver.
Quality public services are what matter to Queenslanders.

Poll momentum: Carson, Fiorina and Sanders rise
Posted: 11:19 AM, Sep 28, 2015
By: NBC News
Donald Trump and Ben Carson are running neck and neck in the national Republican presidential horserace, while Carly Fiorina is now tied for third place with Marco Rubio, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
And on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton has lost ground to Bernie Sanders — she leads him by just seven points with Joe Biden in the race, and 15 points without the vice president. That's down from Clinton's 34-point lead over Sanders in July and her whopping 60-point lead in June.
In the GOP race, Trump is the first choice of 21 percent of Republican primary voters — followed by Carson at 20 percent and Rubio and Fiorina tied at 11 percent each.

This suggested that increasing the level of integration with the rest of the world would have negative impacts on industrial growth, while FDI enterprises still hold irreplaceable role.Bases on these analyses, this paper suggests some useful solutions to Vietnam's government for industrial development strategies. Governments need good preparation in long-term, focus on improve both labor skills and academic performance, invest on technology, R&D, enhancing management capacity and attract more effective FDI projects.
industrialisation strategies adopted and economic policies followed have shown great differences before and after 1980. An import substitution policy had been implemented until 1980. However, after 1980, significant progress has been made towards establishing the principles and fundamentals of a market economy through the introduction of export-oriented industrialisation. These reforms made significant contribution to the dynamism of the private sector and improved the adaptability of Turkish economy to internal and external impacts.
This paper examines the pollution control policies applied in China's paper industry during the period of economic reform from 1982 to 1992. The paper industry is the source of ten percent of China's industrial wastewater emissions and one fourth of its chemical oxygen demand. It is the largest source of rural environmental pollution. The very small size of china's mills is comparable to that of papermills in many developing countries and this small size itself creates an interesting problem.
Are Corruption and Taxation Really Harmful to Growth?
Exploiting a unique data set containing information about the estimated bribe payments of Ugandan firms, the authors study the relationship between bribe payments, taxes, and firm growth in Uganda for the period 1995-97. Using industry-location averages to circumvent the potential problem of endogeneity, and to deal with issues of measurement error, they find that both the rate of taxation, and the rate of bribery are negatively correlated with firm growth.
Working on operational performance improvement projects in chemical industry gave me the opportunity to experience first hand the challenges this industry is faced with due to changes of the competitive landscape and the shift of demand growth to the developing regions of the world. Ad- dressing these challenges requires not only an operational but also a strate- gic response. The production (network) strategy is at the heart of the prob- lem for many companies.

Without net new jobs, however, the process is short-circuited. The painful results are most evident today in some European countries and in developing countries where an initial burst of technical-industrial growth has stagnated. In these situations, high unemployment has become so chronic that even many graduates of universities and technical schools cannot get a foothold in the workplace. The chance for these young people to develop their skills and contribute their ideas is deferred and, in many cases, lost.
Under the reference case scenario, CEF projects that the pulp and paper industry's energy consumption will continue to be dominated by renewable fuels (primarily biomass) and natural gas, though renewable energy sources will grow at the expense of natural gas, coal, and petroleum as the industry continues to reduce its demand for purchased fuels. Economic energy intensity (energy consumption per dollar value of output) is expected to decrease at the rate of 0.
This paper aims to develop a framework for a regional approach identifying the connections from rural areas to urban areas and growth centres, and clusters' impact on poverty reduction.
This paper conducts a pilot research on the relationship between industrial policy quality and growth performance. A middle income trap is defined as a situation where the domestic economy is unable to create value beyond what is delivered by given advantages. Given advantages include natural, demographic and geographical factors as well as such external factors as trade, aid, and foreign investment inflow. When growth depends mainly on these factors, little domestic value is created and the economy does not reach high income.

This is an interesting compendium of 30 business profiles of successful business figures from around the globe, based for the most part on interviews with the subjects. One of its key strengths is that the authors take a methodical approach to the task with the individual features on each subject ranged under headings such as critical challenge, impact and influence, and key learnings.
While this approach lacks the colour and character of a free-ranging interview style, it captures the lessons that can be learnt from these stories of success and how they might be applied more generally. The narratives are also grouped into sections on trailblazers, disrupters, value-led businesses, community players and up-and-coming influencers.
Some of the subjects are household names, such as Richard Branson, James Dyson, Arianna Huffington and Anita Roddick, and while their stories may be well documented, the authors manage to distil the lessons we can learn from these figures.
From Dyson we get the advice to view product or service improvements as an incremental rather than a one-step process, to find ways to finance development of your ideas despite interim lack of sales and to take on staff with fresh ideas and empower them to make creative decisions.
Another successful UK entrepreneur, Jacqueline Gold, boss of the Ann Summers business, displayed the courage of her convictions when met with opposition from authorities and scepticism from male investors but stuck to her vision. Talking directly to consumers has always been a key part of her philosophy and she is now a very active Twitter user with 45,000 followers.
Other lesser-known subjects also have interesting tales and lessons to impart. We learn how Todd Ostrander of Tectonic Audio Labs has made significant innovations in sound systems, such as those used in public events. Unlike traditional cone speakers, the technology his company is championing vibrates a hard surface to create amplified sound, similar to resonating the body of a violin or guitar.
The result is a pure sound that can be heard 165 degrees off axis, unlike a traditional speaker that can be heard at best only 120 degree off axis. It offers the potential to provide much clearer PA systems in the near future, in applications such as public transport and outdoor entertainment. This has been hailed as the most significant breakthrough in this area since the 1920s.
Todd's advice includes finding great team players to work with, challenging them and then letting them get on with the task without being micromanaged. He also recommends getting validation for your product as soon as you can and identifying evangelists who will provide informed support for your product.
Having presented each of the Gamechangers' stories, the authors look for common traits of these individuals. Gamechangers, they note, tend to have a strong sense of self, although not egotistically so. Independence is a common trait and few mention a significant influence from a long-standing mentor. Rather, they seem to either possess innate self-confidence or have the potential to develop self-confidence as they progress. They are not troubled by self-doubt and have the resilience to cope with the inevitable setbacks that occur on the journey to success.
The ability – and often the desire – to challenge the status quo is another common characteristic. Generating controversy does not worry them, and some even use it as an effective marketing vehicle. Many are also outsiders or at least different to the mainstream in one sense or another, whether that's in terms of social or sexual orientation, or in relation to family groups or ethnic background.
They are also predominantly action-orientated individuals and problem solvers, interested in practical and applicable rather than purely theoretical results. They are also keen to be in charge. Control can be more important to them than making money and loss of that control can be devastating.
Thompson and Mellor have produced a well-crafted, tight and useful insight into the mindset of entrepreneurs.


Winter is coming! And as the days get shorter and the nights get colder, our feathered friends in the garden could do with a bit of a helping hand to stay warm. It is so easy to feed the birds, and doing so will help them to overcome periods of natural food shortage and survive any severe winter weather so they are in tip top condition ready to breed in the spring.
Feeding wild birds makes it really easy to watch a whole range of fascinating species up close, and it is a great way to get kids interested in wildlife too. Positioning bird feeding stations in view of windows means you can study their beautiful colours and quirky behaviour up close, and also keep any eye on when the feeders need to be topped up.
A simple bird table is suitable for most foods and will attract lots of different species. You can easily make one - it just needs a raised rim to retain the food and a gap at each corner of the rim so that water can drain away and you can easily clean away any droppings or uneaten food.
A good variety of different feeders and food types will encourage a wide variety of different birds to your garden- try feeding a range of different bird seed mixtures, black sunflower seeds, nyjer seeds, peanuts, bird cakes, fat balls and mealworms, all of which you can buy from local garden centres or hardware stores. Peanuts and fat balls are often sold in nylon mesh bags, never put out any food in these as they can trap birds' feet or beaks, and don't put out whole peanuts in the spring as they may choke young birds- crush them first or use a special peanut feeder.
There are lots of hanging bird feeders available which you can position around your garden, such as steel mesh nut feeders, fat ball hangers and seed feeders. Just make sure you choose the right type of feeder for the food you are using.
Make sure you position bird feeders and bird boxes out of reach of cats and dogs. Never feed any mouldy food and clear away any uneaten food from your feeding stations.
Some species of birds, such as blackbirds, prefer to feed on the ground, so try scattering some food on the lawn or use a ground feeding tray. Space the food out to reduce competition between different birds and keep any ground food out in the open so that the birds won't fall prey to any lurking cats. Don't be tempted to put out more food than can be eaten in a day to avoid attracting vermin.
Wild birds will appreciate being fed all year round, but it is the winter months where it is particularly important- especially when the ground is frozen. Ask a friend or neighbour if they can top up your feeders if you're going to be away, as the birds will come to rely on you for their dinner.
It's really important to provide a source of water too, either a wildlife pond or bird bath is great. Floating a tennis ball in the water when it gets colder should help to stop it from freezing.
If you have the space you could even turn your whole garden into a bird foraging paradise, by planting a wide variety of fruiting trees and bushes. More on that in a future post….

Hydroxychloroquine suppresses 'trained immunity'
A new study published on the preprint server medRxiv* in June 2020 shows that the drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) suppresses a form of immunity called 'trained immunity,' with repercussions for its potential use to treat COVID-19.
HCQ is an anti-malarial and a disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD), which was observed to inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. However, its antiviral effect in humans in vitro has not been confirmed. It may have an immunomodulatory effect as well. However, the lack of evidence of its efficacy and how they act has roused controversy surrounding its use.

HCQ Suppresses Trained Immunity
The current study aimed to understand how HCQ acts on the immune response in COVID-19. Using techniques that unravel the function of immune cells, as well as transcriptomic analyses, the researchers found marked changes in the expression of molecular markers and functionalities of monocytes in COVID-19 patients. They also found that interferon-stimulated genes (ISG) play a role in disease severity.
With metabolomic and epigenetic studies, the researchers found that HCQ suppresses trained immunity. Trained immunity refers to a change in the way that monocytes function in response to epigenetic changes that reprogram their antiviral responses. These findings suggest that HCQ may not be suitable for the therapy or prevention of COVID-19.
The Study of Monocytes and Associated Cytokines
The study included 13 patients hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2, all above 18 years of age. The median age was 68 years. They had various coexisting maladies such as pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, and malignancy.
Most patients were admitted to hospital with fever, cough, or breathlessness. Seven of the patients required oxygen at admission. All showed signs of pneumonitis on chest imaging, but none were critically ill. All patients were started on chloroquine (CQ) at admission, for five days.
Increase in Monocyte Count and Activation
On blood analysis, the T cell count was slightly lower than normal, and monocyte counts were markedly higher, mostly because of a rise in classical monocytes. Nonclassical monocytes were almost undetectable, and their markers, such as CX3CR1, were reduced.
HLA-DR expression on monocytes was reduced, which has been associated in recent studies with the hyperactivation of monocytes and the excessive release of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in COVID-19. CD11b, a monocyte activation marker, is also upregulated. These markers remained constant over five days in those who were still hospitalized at the end of the study.
The researchers then examined the functional status of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by stimulating them and then measuring the release of cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα. They found that excessive cytokine release occurred in COVID-19 patients when lipopolysaccharides and other antigens were used to activate Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and other similar receptors.
Polarization of Adaptive Immunity
Next, they looked at whether adaptive immunity was also altered, by stimulating PBMCs for 7 days with Staphylococcal aureus antigens, and measuring Th1 and Th17 cell activation via IFNγ and IL-17 levels respectively. Healthy controls showed increases in the former alone, but in COVID-19 patients, the latter was raised. This indicates a shift towards Th17 cell activation rather than the normal Th1 dominance.
Predictors of Outcome
When they compared the 9 patients who recovered without intensive care unit (ICU) admission with the 4 who required ICU care or died (3 and 1, respectively), they found no clear markers at presentation to predict favorable or poor outcomes. However, immune markers showed differences such as a reduced monocyte HLA-DR expression in those who went on to poor outcomes, indicating a more severe inflammatory phenotype in monocytes for these patients.
Transcriptome analysis of monocytes from COVID-19 patients showed a higher level of transcription of ISG, which plays a significant role in antiviral responses. Excessively high ISG expression was linked to poor outcomes.
Six and seven patients were discharged within five days and remained hospitalized, respectively. PBMCs from this group at 5 days from admission showed a clear demarcation between findings indicating a good vs. poor outcome.
Specifically, the inflammatory response is characterized by marked innate immune changes, in agreement with previous reports, in the form of increased monocyte activation, increased ISG expression, and elevated monocyte-derived cytokine release.
The researchers comment, "This enhanced responsiveness is reminiscent of the inflammatory phenotype previously reported in sepsis and influenza. While inflammation early in the infection contributes to improved antiviral mechanisms and elimination of infection, if exacerbated late during the course of the disease it may play a role in the development of the severe complications of COVID-19."
How HCQ Suppresses Trained Immunity
This led to an investigation into whether HCQ affects trained immunity. This molecule moves passively into the lysosomes and disrupts its function. Since the lysosomes are central to the regulation of immune metabolism with innate immunity via the mTOR receptor on its membrane, trained macrophages are characterized by the activation of key regulators of lysosome genes.
To understand how HCQ affects trained immunity, they repeatedly stimulated human PBMCs with bacterial antigens. They found that the cells produced much more cytokines with repeated stimulation, but this effect disappeared when the cells were treated with HCQ simultaneously.
On restimulation of monocytes with IFNγ, there was a rise in IL-6 and TNFα production, which also vanished with HCQ treatment. The researchers analyzed the change in terms of lysosomal function and found that the inhibition of vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) led to blocking the development of trained immunity, which is similar to the effect of HCQ treatment.
Next, the effects of hydroxychloroquine on the transcription of trained monocytes were analyzed. They found that this led to a substantial reduction in the expression of genes related to inflammatory responses, including ISG. This was accompanied by the increased expression of metabolic pathways involved in inflammation. Altogether, this implies the role of HCQ in suppressing the development of trained immunity and the expression of ISG.
HCQ also affects cellular lipid metabolism, as part of its suppressive effect on trained immunity. The stimulation of the monocytes by bacterial antigens, with and without HCQ exposure followed by lipidomic analysis, showed that the normal wide-ranging and deep changes in the monocyte lipids that accompanies trained immunity was suppressed by HCQ. This may affect the structure and function of the cellular membranes, disrupting the activity of membrane-bound genes, including the all-important mTOR on the lysosomal membrane, as well as inhibiting lipid-dependent activation enzymes required for the normal immune response.
HCQ also prevents the normal epigenetic modifications that are required for trained immunity, shutting down normal changes in epigenetic markers associated with immune and inflammatory responses.
Implications and Future Applications
The authors say this data provides crucial new information about how HCQ acts in COVID-19. Though HCQ has been used for decades as an immunomodulator to benefit rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus because it inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNFα. It is known that this effect is partly mediated by its inhibition of lysosomal processes like autophagy, antigen processing, and TLR7 processing.
However, the current study adds to this knowledge via the findings that HCQ prevents the development of trained immunity via epigenetic regulation. This may be via its effect on mTOR signaling since this is a lysosome-associated enzyme transmitting information from the lysosome to the cell, and thus mediates inflammation. The data on the changes in lipids that play a key role in mTOR activation supports this reading.
Since trained immunity is required to upregulate the innate immune response and so prevent infection, HCQ is less likely to be of use in preventing or clearing SARS-CoV-2 infection. This agrees with the findings of a recent randomized controlled trial that HCQ given post-exposure does not help prevent symptomatic COVID-19.
The question remains whether the immunomodulatory effects of HCQ could mediate its effectiveness in severe COVID-19 by muting the cytokine storm. The researchers say this is likely to be less useful than IL-6 receptor antibodies or IL-1 receptor antagonists, and an observational study lends some support to this prediction. More research is required to test this hypothesis. They sum up: "Our findings suggest that hydroxychloroquine may not have a beneficial effect on the antiviral immune response in SARS-CoV-2 infection."

When caring for another person – whether it be your elderly father, frail grandmother or a resident in aged care – the priority tends to be the other person.
Which is completely understandable, they are in need of help and you can offer them the help they need.
Most carers will tell you that it is an honour to care for the elderly, and that it's an incredibly rewarding experience.
But in such a giving and selfless act, a caregiver can often overlook a very important person in the care process – themselves.
In all the hustle and bustle of making sure the elderly person is okay, they can often forget to look after their own physical and emotional well being.
One of the struggles that many caregivers deal with is the feeling that stepping back and looking after themselves first is "selfish".
There is an obvious connection between a carer's well being and the quality of care they offer.
And when you don't practice self-care, it can lead to occupational stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue. In a professional setting it those symptoms often leads to workforce turnover and staff shortages.
So how can you practice self-care? It's more than just simply doing an activity to distract you from stress, or taking a "mental health" day.
Self-care in an active process that people need to adopts in their day to day lives, and it's different for each person. What self-care practices work for one person, may do nothing for another.
The first step is to acknowledge the risk of burnout and compassion fatigue and then to actively seek out resources and strategies that help to avoid falling into the trap.
In nursing, one of the first things you do is assess the patient. See what's wrong and how bad things are. In self-care, it's suggested that you look internally and see what activities give you joy and what drain you. What have you been doing for "you"?
The next step is a diagnosis. You don't need to be trained or qualified to diagnose your own self-care deficit. You simply need to be honest with yourself about your own capabilities. But admitting you need support or a little time off does not make you weak.
Once a diagnosis is made, the next step is treatment. How will you self-care for yourself? Will it be exercise? Eating healthy? Or spending more time with your family or hobbies you love? Is it time to consider seeing a counsellor? Planning is key. It may seem like a challenge at first when you're busy work or caring for others, but try to schedule time something that can help you.
This step is crucial. It's one thing to plan to take a day off, have dinner with the family, go to church more, but none of those things will actually benefit you until you actually try it. Sure, life and work can get in the way but remember you are doing a disservice to the people you care for if you don't follow your plan. Start with small steps.
When you're sick, it's not uncommon to go back to the doctor for a follow-up appointment. Make sure you give yourself that follow up. See how much progress you have made. And if you find you haven't come as far as you would like, try another approach.
Self-care is not selfish. For the wellbeing and congruence of [caregivers] – as educators and health promotion advocates – it is essential. Similarly, self-compassion is not narcissistic. Rather, it is a foundation for compassionate care.

Green Tea and Velociraptors | Nessie dwarfed by new Scottish crocodile

Nessie dwarfed by new Scottish crocodile
Jon Tennant	September 11, 2015	#OpenPhD, Crocodiles Comments Closed
Yes, Nessie had to be in the title. Am I sorry? A little. But not enough to not use it.
Colleagues from the University of Edinburgh and myself have described the first Scottish crocodile fossil! It's from the Isle of Skye, from a time known as the Middle Jurassic, and dates back around 160 million years ago. Based on a partial bit of a jawbone (the dentary), it's hardly the most spectacular fossil we've ever found, but it tells quite a neat story.
Based on the features we could identify of the jawbone, we were able to identify the specimen as belonging to Theriosuchus. This genus has quite a complicated history, and currently 5 species are assigned to it that span some 100 million years! That's pretty long lived for a single genus. Theriosuchus belongs to a group known as Atoposauridae, which based on our current understanding went extinct along with the non-avian dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period.
Atoposaurids are a pretty cool group of crocodile ancestors*, often characterised by a small, dwarfed body size (some were less than a foot long!), multiple tooth types, and habitation of coastal or inland ecosystems. They also show an unusual combination of 'primitive' characteristics to other crocodile species, as well as some features that we associate with more 'advanced' crocs, including those close to the crown group, Crocodylia.
The new fossil, identified as Theriosuchus, in different views
However, some of the oldest remains previously assigned to Theriosuchus are based just on isolated teeth. They've been identified from the Middle Jurassic of both Africa and a couple of places in Europe, but as they're just isolated teeth it makes their identification quite uncertain. Our fossil from Skye is the first non-tooth evidence of Theriosuchus, and places this genus confidently in the Middle Jurassic, most likely from the Bathonian Stage, some 160 million years ago or so. This also means that the teeth assigned to this genus probably do in fact belong to Theriosuchus. It also is the oldest remains that we can assign to Atoposauridae (at the present), so provides a nice first origination time for this group.
How does the Skye specimen fit in with other specimens of Theriosuchus? Blimey, that's an impressive lineage!
Additionally, this tells us that Theriosuchus was fairly widespread when it first came about. As well as this, we know that it had at least two different types of teeth! Modern crocodiles just have canines for punching through flesh and bones, but Theriosuchus had some which were flattened and shaped like the tip of a spear – a lanceolate morphology. These teeth might have been more useful for crushing shells or small insects, which Theriosuchus might have preyed on as it lived in semi-aquatic swampy or deltaic regions.
We compared the Skye specimen with all other known specimens assigned to Theriosuchus that we could. We found that there were a lot of features that we could use to unite the specimen to this genus, such as the patterning on the outside of the bone, and the shape change in the teeth alveoli, that represent the different shapes the teeth would have had. We also noted that there were a couple of features that distinguished it from any of these species, raising the possibility that the specimen could represent a whole new species. However, we decided to err on the side of caution, and not name a new species for the Skye fossil, as it is quite fragmentary.
Several other jaws assigned to different species of Theriosuchus. Quite similar overall, but each one subtly distinct
Hopefully there's more to come from the Isle of Skye, and along with the cute little Theriosuchus, help to fill out our knowledge of life in the Middle Jurassic.
You can read the paper here (it's open access, obviously!), and if you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them!

*Crocodile usually refers to species that belong to the crown group Crocodylia, that includes all living species of croc and alligator. Atoposaurids, and other extinct groups, can be classed as Crocodyliformes, which go much further back in time and were around before Crocodylia evolved in the Late Cretaceous.

Jon began university life as a geologist, followed by a treacherous leap into the life sciences. He is now based at Imperial College London, investigating the extinction and biodiversity patterns of Mesozoic tetrapods – anything with four legs or flippers – to discover whether or not there is evidence for a 'hidden' mass extinction 145 million years ago. Alongside this, Jon researches the origins and evolution of 'dwarf' crocodiles called atoposaurids. Prior to this, there was a brief interlude were Jon was immersed in the world of science policy and communication, which has greatly shaped his view on the broader role that science can play, and in particular, the current 'open' debate. He tweets as @Protohedgehog.

First class knowledge and ability to explain things simply."
A huge, huge thank you again for what you achieved for us yesterday. The result was way beyond any reasonable expectation we had, and that was entirely down to you. The sheer volume of quality work you have produced has been astonishing, not to mention the incredible personal support."
A client
Both cutting edge and outstanding advice.
Want of knowledge and approval
In order for a Will to be validly created, the person making it (referred to as the "testator") must know the contents of the Will and approve them. Any interested person may apply to the Court for the Will to be declared invalid if they think the testator did not have this requisite 'knowledge and approval'.
Where a person promises something to another, but then fails to follow through on that promise, there can be circumstances where the Court will intervene to make good that promise. This is referred to as proprietary estoppel.
Authorising gifts from someone who has lost capacity
Where a person (referred to as 'P') has lost capacity, it may be that they have an attorney or deputy managing their financial affairs. Although these people have the power to deal with P's money and make payments, e.g. to pay for their care, they do not have an extensive power to make gifts from P's assets. However, if the attorney or deputy does feel that such gifts are appropriate, they may apply to the Court of Protection for permission to do so.
Testamentary capacity
There are several requirements for a Will to be valid, one of which is that the person making it (known as the 'testator') had the mental capacity to do so.
Trustees - Duties and removal
The role of a trustee is very important as they are entrusted with managing assets which belong to others, the beneficiaries.
Where a person has lost capacity, the Court of Protection has power to create a Will on their behalf. This is called a 'Statutory Will.'
Your Will, your house and where your assets could end up
For our second case study, we explore the issues arising from the death of a couple from hypothermia after their house was burgled.
Lessons for when limitation looms – the moral of Cowan v Foreman
A claimant must issue their claim within the relevant limitation period. The length of the relevant period will depend on the type of claim. However, it is common practice for parties in all manner of disputes to enter into standstill agreements when the expiry of a limitation period is approaching.
Avoiding claims against your estate
With a dramatic rise in cases against exectuors in the past year, what's the best practice to make sure you avoid a claim?
Divorce and the Family Trust – principles, planning and protection
Divorces are difficult at the best of times, but add a family trust into the mix and it becomes even more fraught. What are the pitfalls you should be aware of?

Q: What is the intuitive reason behind vanishing of $a_n$ for odd $n$ in Fourier expansion of the full wave rectifier output signal? The full wave rectifier signal is defined by the following---
$$f(x)=|\sin(x)|$$ and has a Fourier series expansion of the form $$f(x)=\frac{2}{\pi}-\frac{4}{\pi}\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\cos(2nx)}{4n^2-1}$$
which is easy to obtain directly by formulas for the Fourier coefficients. It is seen that the $a_n$s with odd $n$ vanish identically. What is the intuitive reason for this? I mean, is there any way to guess without doing the integrations and steps involved in calculating $a_n$ that only $a_n$ with even $n$ will remain?

When you think of paradise, what comes to mind — palm trees, beaches and seafood galore? It sounds like you just described a traveler's ideal location, also known as Naples, Florida. As a travel destination, Naples includes something for everyone, whether traveling alone, with girlfriends or family! The amenities in Naples range from the beaches, of course, to fine dining, but also include other indoor and outdoor activities. With a long list of things to do while there, you'll never wonder what to do next or where to eat.
Let's look at what makes Naples a traveler's true dream location.
You will never face a lack of restaurants or food option in Naples — if you crave it, you can find it. The variety ranges from fine dining to trendy food trucks. You can dine on the water or cook your own catch ensuring you eat the freshest fish of the day.
The variety of food places allows you to indulge in several cuisines without traveling too far — once you arrive in Naples, you'll never want to leave anyway. After a day at the beach, you could pick a different restaurant every night to experiment with the international cuisine options available.
Basking at the Beach From any viewpoint, you'll see nothing but endless beaches in Naples — a proud boast for what makes Naples one of the happiest places in the US. With its ten miles of beaches, you can spend an entire week testing out new beaches. Your beach bum self will thank you. The North Gulf Shore Beach offers a quieter space, or for a livelier beach environment you can check out the Naples Pier.
Barefoot Beach Preserve and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park make for great family beaches as they offer several different family amenities and activities. Barefoot Beach Preserve is a great area for younger children with its shallow and calm waters. On the other hand, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park opens up an opportunity for your family to fish, swim and boat in one general area. Although, going to the beach isn't the only thing to do in Naples.
Whether souvenir hunting or itching for some good shopping, Naples contains great shopping areas. Tin City Shops, Waterside Shops or the Village Shops on Venetian Bay are popular shopping areas to check out. They house a wide range of trinket and novelty shops to more upscale stores making for great souvenir finds. You can also check out Alvin's Island and The Blue Muscle.
If hiding out from icky weather or seeking some shade after too many days in the sun, Naples contains a surprisingly large art scene varying from galleries to performing arts centers and museums. You can art hop on that rainy or sunny day when feeling a bit beached out.
Explore different galleries like the Shaw Gallery or the Gardner Colby Gallery, or see a show at The Philharmonic Center for the Arts.
Putt Around the Course If there's one thing Naples does not lack in, it's their golf courses. With a total of 90-plus area golf courses to choose from, you can enjoy the sunny scenery as you golf and travel from hole to hole. The diversity of golf courses gives you the ability to select from preferred landscape or difficulty level.
fish off of including the Naples Fishing Pier. You could also opt to set sail on a fishing charter or launch your own boat or rental boat from a designated launch area. Charters offer a range from coastal bay fishing to deep sea fishing depending on the experience you seek. You could choose a relaxing sunset fishing cruise or adrenaline pumping fishing trip of a lifetime.
