Exposure to dolutegravir at the time of conception or during the first three months of pregnancy is associated with a small increased risk of neural tube defects, longer-term follow-up of a national birth cohort in Botswana has found. The risk is lower than preliminary results suggested, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that dolutegravir should be available for all women.
The results were presented on Monday at the 10th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2019) in Mexico City and published simultaneously by the New England Journal of Medicine.
Concerns arose regarding the safety of dolutegravir during pregnancy after a surveillance study in Botswana reported that preliminary results indicated an increased risk of neural tube defects in infants exposed to dolutegravir at conception or during early pregnancy.

equivalence trial
A clinical trial which aims to demonstrate that a new treatment is no better or worse than an existing treatment. While the two drugs may have similar results in terms of virological response, the new drug may have fewer side-effects, be cheaper or have other advantages.
Those findings led WHO to issue a statement advising that women taking dolutegravir should not stop treatment, but that women of childbearing age could use efavirenz instead. In July 2018, new adult treatment recommendations from WHO stated that dolutegravir could be used where women and adolescent girls have access to consistent and reliable contraception.
However, further follow-up of birth outcomes in Botswana was needed and today's findings show that although the risk of neural tube defects is somewhat higher if dolutegravir is taken at the time of conception or in early pregnancy when compared to other antiretroviral drugs, the difference in risk between dolutegravir and other antiretrovirals is the equivalent of two extra cases of neural tube defects for every 1000 women exposed to the drug.
"There is still a risk that we and countries need to monitor closely, but at this point, dolutegravir should be accessible for women of childbearing age due to the overwhelming benefits it offers," Meg Doherty, Coordinator of Treatment and Care in the Department of HIV/Hepatitis and STIs at WHO, said. "What treatment options to pursue is a decision that a woman should make in consultation with her healthcare provider."
Tsepamo: surveillance for neural tube defects in Botswana
Botswana embarked on a birth outcomes surveillance programme in 2014 after it became the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to provide dolutegravir as a first-line treatment option. At that time there was little information about the impact of dolutegravir on birth outcomes and it was judged important to monitor any adverse effects associated with the drug. Adverse birth outcomes associated with the use of other antiretroviral drugs in pregnancy, such as pre-term births, had only come to the attention of researchers after widespread use.
The neural tube develops between two and eight weeks of gestation. A neural tube defect occurs when the spinal cord, brain, and related structures do not form properly. Spina bifida – a malformed spinal cord – is the most common neural tube defect. The most common cause of neural tube defects is lack of folic acid during pregnancy, but defects can also be caused by some medications.
The risk of neural tube defects is highest at the time of conception and in the first trimester of pregnancy, so it is important to rule out any harmful effects of drugs taken at this time.
More news from Botswana
The surveillance programme expanded from 8 hospitals to 18 in 2018 and has now captured data on the outcomes of 119,477 deliveries up to March 2019.
Up to March 2019, 98 neural tube defects had been identified by visual examination (0.08% of all deliveries), 26 of which occurred in stillbirths; 49 neural tube defects were cases of spina bifida.
The prevalence of neural tube defects was higher in infants delivered to women taking dolutegravir at the time of conception when compared to other antiretroviral regimens. Five neural tube defects occurred in 1683 deliveries when the mother was taking dolutegravir (0.3% of all deliveries, 95% CI 0.12-0.69). Fifteen neural tube defects occurred in 14,792 deliveries when the mother was taking another antiretroviral regimen (0.1%, 95% CI 0.06-0.17).
In women who started dolutegravir-based treatment during pregnancy, there was no significant difference in the prevalence of neural tube defects when compared to HIV-negative women.
Neural tube defects occurred in three in a thousand deliveries on dolutegravir in the Tsepamo study, a rate of two excess defects per 1000 exposures. The authors note that with the exception of efavirenz, there are no data on the rate of neural tube defects associated with other antiretroviral drugs.
Additional surveillance in other health facilities identified a further 3076 deliveries at 22 facilities between October 2018 and March 2019 not included in the Tsepamo study. Of these, 742 births occurred in women living with HIV. Seventy-three percent of women were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) at the time of conception, and of these, 28% of births occurred in women taking dolutegravir.
One confirmed neural tube defect and two probable neural tube defects were identified, one in a woman exposed to dolutegravir and two in HIV-negative women. The prevalence of neural tube defects in the dolutegravir-exposed group was 0.66%, in line with the prevalence observed in the Tsepamo study. In the HIV-negative group, prevalence was 0.09%, again in line with the Tsepamo study.
Brazil: the second largest surveillance cohort
Brazil introduced dolutegravir into its national treatment programme in 2017 and by May 2018, 22,614 women aged 15 to 49 were taking dolutegravir. Using the national ART database, a national cohort study was established. Women exposed to dolutegravir or raltegravir at conception or during pregnancy between January 2015 and March 2018 were identified and compared to women exposed to efavirenz, the first-line alternative.
In total, 1468 women were included; 382 had been exposed to dolutegravir (including 78 also exposed to raltegravir) and 1086 to efavirenz and/or raltegravir.
No neural tube defects were detected in either dolutegravir-exposed or dolutegravir-unexposed deliveries.
Folate supplementation
The risk of neural tube defects is increased by maternal folate deficiency at conception and in early pregnancy. WHO recommends folate fortification of food and folic acid supplementation for pregnant women.
Several speakers at the conference drew attention to the lack of folate supplementation in Botswana. Mmakgomo Mimi Raesima of the Botswana Ministry of Health said that as Botswana is dependent on food imports from South Africa, a national policy has been lacking. In Brazil, just under half of women received folic acid supplements during pregnancy and folate fortification of food is national policy.

"It's going to take a lot of hard work and a little luck," de Angulo said.
Bolstering de Angulo's confidence is the fact the Raiders return with the majority of their team intact, losing only one senior to graduation. Featuring a talented group of swimmers led by Annie Valls and Alexa Kalandiak, the Raiders could score enough points to compete with Bolles, if they can qualify enough swimmers into the state meet. Bolles has always benefited from its program's large number of swimmers who have been able to advance to the final race in each event. Last season, Bolles had 32 athletes swim in the finals. Ransom had 13.
For the Raiders to contend, they will also need better performances from their relays. The Raiders placed third and fourth in the 200-medley and the 200-free relays, respectively, but placed seventh in the 400-free relay. Valls and Kalandiak are instrumental in the Raiders' relays, with both girls taking part in multiple events.
De Angulo is still figuring out who will swim on the relays but insists they will have faster times.
Valls was the Raiders' highest individual finisher last season, placing third in the 100 breast. Valls has been steady training in the offseason, focusing on a grueling schedule that has her in the water most days of the week. While training and the physical aspect of the sport will usually determine who the fastest swimmer will be, Valls points out that they must believe they can beat Bolles to achieve their ultimate goal.
Several of Miami-Dade's most talented swimmers missed the start of the high school season to compete at the FINA World Junior Swimming Championships in Dubai. Among the athletes to take the trip the Middle East: St. Brendan's Brienne Renfurm and Wayne Denswill, who both represented Suriname. Doral Academy swimmer Zuhayr Pigot also competed for Suriname.
The Florida High School Athletic Association, the state's governing body, added a fourth swimming class. Most schools moved up a class, with large public schools making up the bulk of Class 4A. Several Miami-Dade schools were moved out of Class 1A, including Gulliver Prep. Ransom Everglades and Doral Academy remain in Class 1A.
After several years in Orlando, the FHSAA state finals are moving to Stuart. With the addition of a fourth class, the state meet will be split, with Class 1A and Class 2A competing Nov. 8-9. Class 3A and Class 4A will swim Nov. 15-16.

Barishal: Students of Government BM College protested on Saturday, demanding maximum penalty for the bus driver involved in Friday's road accident in Barishal which left seven people dead, reports UNB.
One of the victims was an MA student of the college.
Police visited the spot and requested the protesters to end their demonstration, said Nurul Islam, officer-in-charge of Kotwali Police Station.
The students called off their protests after Barishal City Mayor Sher Niabat Sadik Abdulla assured them that justice will be done, the OC added.


One of the main benefits of using Typescript is the consistency for you and your team. Angular has an overall framework that all start our the same way( all import then decoder and finally place code into class). This is always what is followed, and then one can add in more, such as adding in an interface.
Angular also allows one to add re-usable codes quite simply. A style guide is also supplied so teams can be consistent in starting ideas for projects. And with the CLI tool, initial projects can be started with different features. You can also run tests with them and perform builds and lint codes. Refactoring with the CLI tool makes the process much faster and easier than it has been in the past. The compiler is able to catch errors before runtime. You are also able to mock test services, even using the same interfaces as the real thing.
Typescript will also allow you and your team to be productive. As components and other elements are the same, those using Typescript will not have to worry about if they are using it in the correct way. You can write a component, then take another and use the same general guidelines. This means more work gets done in less time.
Modules are a huge benefit to Angular. You need to organize all your codes. Each code can be placed in a module. Granted, some codes will fit into different modules. What is great about these modules is that they will make it possible to divide up the application in reusable chunks and features. Lazy loading can also be done with modules.
Those that are wanting to develop a large coding project should consider using Typescript. It is simple to debug if there are problems, and the codes look simple and clean. You and your company will be more productive when Angular or Typescript is used, and there will be consistency throughout the projects.
There are many other great benefits of Typescript. If you have a growing team, Typescript can really help. It is ES-next compliant, can enhance code quality, and makes the codes easier to read. Typescript can also be used on all browsers. If you do not have a lot of knowledge, you can still write codes with pure object-oriented coding. If you are uncertain about if Typescript is for you and your company, you should contact a professional that will be able to further assist you. Consider contacting IB Systems USA. This company can help you grow your company and assist you in all of your projects.

Parliamentary body may visit western route of CPEC
A Parliamentary Committee on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), constituted after the All Parties Conference (APC) meeting to monitor the CPEC projects, is likely to visit and inspect the works on Western route of the corridor by the end of this month, Project Director Major General Zahir Shah (Retd) told Business Recorder.
He further stated that the parliamentary committee would co-ordinate with Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) and National Highway Authority (NHA) prior to finalizing the dates of the visit. The opposition political parties including Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), an ally of ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), threatened to launch a movement against the government if it breaks its commitment made in an All Parties Conference (APC) chaired by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on construction of the Western route of the CPEC.
Senator Shibli Faraz of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Pakistan (PTI), who is also member of Parliamentary Committee on the CPEC, said while taking to this correspondent that if the PML-N government violates its commitment made during the APC on the Western route of the CPEC then his party along with other political parties of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) would launch a movement in protest. He said that before starting the movement against the government, the PTI would raise the issue on the floor of both Houses of the Parliament.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan, speaking at a party convention on Saturday, had accused the PML-N government of hiding facts about the CPEC because they wanted a large part of the corridor to pass through Punjab.
Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Maulana Ameer Zaman of the JUI-F said that the PML-N government must implement the decisions of the APC in letter and spirit. "We would start a big movement in the country if the PML-N government violets the decision of the APC on Western route of the CPEC. The decision was taken in the APC with the consensus of all political parties," he said.
Senior Vice President, Awami National Party (ANP), Haji Muhammad Adeel said while talking to Business Recorder that his party would not tolerate any change in the decision of the APC on Western route and the government has to follow it. Answering a question, he said, "If the government deviates from the commitment it made in the APC on Western route then we will raise this issue in the National Assembly and the Senate. In this regard, we will also stage a protest against the government outside of Parliament. In future, we will not participate in any APC called by the PML-N government." Senator Colonel Syed Tahir Hussain Mashhadi (R) of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) said that his party supports the stance of all opposition parties on Western route of the CPEC. Answering a question, he said that the MQM would support other opposition parties if they launch any movement against the PML-N government on the Western route of the CPEC.
Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Ahmed Shah wrote a letter to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on November 13, 2015, complaining that Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were being discriminated against in the $46 billion project of the CPEC; Punjab would benefit the most from it. He said in his letter that eastern route of the CPEC had been preferred rather than the short and better western route, which might create resentment among other provinces against Punjab.

Gerhard Ernst Spiegler, the first non-Brethren president of Elizabethtown College, died Monday, Aug. 24, after a brief illness. He served the College from 1985 to 1996, overseeing transformation of the campus and curriculum. This is a remembrance.
Like many others, I suspect, my relationship with President Spiegler was complicated. In his first year in office, 1985-86, he decided to change my employment status from a terminal contract to tenure-track. If not for him, I would not have received tenure and promotion to associate professor of political science at Elizabethtown. In his final year as president, 1995-96, I received a promotion to full professor and served in his administration as associate dean of faculty. I've been in academic administration ever since, so I owe my second career to his initial vote of confidence.
Working for President Spiegler was an interesting experience. I didn't see him all that much, even though the associate dean's office was down the hall from the president's office on the first floor of Alpha Hall. He tended to work with a close circle of advisers, relying on weekly reports from those at the director level and above to keep informed. That's right – weekly reports. Under President (Ted) Long, they became monthly and then quarterly reports. President (Carl) Strikwerda requires reports only prior to Board of Trustees meetings and an annual report. It was difficult to think of something to say each week to Dr. Spiegler. Sometimes my weekly reports were about the experience of writing a weekly report.
The general impression of President Spiegler around campus was that he was remote and austere. My few direct dealings with him were pleasant. He had a keen wit, a twinkling smile, and enjoyed good conversation. I will admit that the laughter was sometimes forced, since he was a serious man with serious things on his mind. He didn't mind jokes at his expense. Seemingly out of nowhere in the early 1990s, a homemade publication called The Eclownian appeared with articles lampooning his administration. I'm told he enjoyed most of them, though he and everyone else wondered who the authors were. As far as I know, it's still a campus secret.
There was one time his sense of humor was sorely tried. For some reason he decided that all Senior Staff members should have reserved parking spots. This did not go down well with the faculty, so a week later he decreed that there will be no reserved parking on campus. A faculty colleague decided to test the new policy, so he parked in the space normally reserved for the president. Dr. Spiegler was not pleased and, after a confrontation with the faculty member, the policy on reserved parking was slightly modified.
The Spiegler Presidency was consequential. There were the buildings – the High Library, Leffler Chapel, the Annenberg Center (now the home of the Jay's Nest and Dining Services), and the Young Center. There were new programs such as Into the Streets, SDLCs, and the Pledge of Integrity. The endowment grew significantly, though it remained comparatively small.
Sometimes the president forced the action, other times he deferred to others. He made it clear the core program needed reform, tried to change it once by proposing a common humanities course, then pulled back and let the faculty develop the current model that includes the First-Year program and Areas of Understanding. A big change in which I was involved was the establishment of the Faculty Assembly. I don't know how it happened, but as a junior faculty member, I chaired a committee whose purpose it was to reform campus governance. The governing body at the time was the Community Congress, a remnant of the 1960s that included the full-time faculty and the Student Senate. Not many took it seriously – the faculty didn't show up but Student Senators were required to attend.
My committee decided the faculty role needed to be strengthened, so we proposed that the Community Congress be abolished and that an assembly of full-time faculty assume control of academic policies and professional life. The only trouble was that in order to make this happen, the Community Congress had to vote to abolish itself. You can imagine how that went. President Spiegler was convinced the new plan was right, however; so he took the proposed structure directly to the Board of Trustees and secured approval.
My final interaction with Dr. Spiegler was unfortunate. As associate dean in charge of faculty development, I had worked on an interdisciplinary program in which clusters of faculty members sat in each other's classes and then developed interdisciplinary courses together. The model was promising, so we submitted it to the Council of Independent Colleges, which initiated a national grant program funded by the Pew Charitable Trust. In early 1996 we learned we were one of 25 institutions to be accepted into the grant program and President Spiegler was delighted. One week later, he announced his retirement. Because the conditions of the grant specified that the president of the college must be in place during the entirety of the program, CIC informed us we could not participate.
Thus, my work with Dr. Spiegler ended on an unhappy note. He never returned to campus after that spring, and I never got around to telling him how much his support over the years meant to me.
Fletcher McClellan is dean of faculty and professor of political science. Prior to his present administrative position, he was associate dean of faculty, chair of the Department of Political Science, president of the Faculty Assembly, and interim provost. He arrived at the College in 1982.

If you are looking for a recipe for a super simple and almost fail-safe Danish Rye Bread – then you are landed on the right page. The special about this recipe is that it do not require a Sour Dough which is a very typical, and for some people a very important, ingredient. However, even though the traditional Danish Rye Bread is based on a Sour Dough I must say that this recipe I have posted below does a very job and is fully comparable with the traditional rye bread. I would even say that this bread could easily get the same amount of points in a blind-taste-test among Danish people.
The reason why the traditional rye bread is based on a Sour Dough is because it is a great leavening agent and because it gives the bread a sour and special taste. A Sour Dough is for some people an important part of the rye bread baking process. Even though a sour dough is quite easy to make, the only disadvantage is that it requires about 4-6 days preparing. I have made a complete guide how to make your own sour dough which you can find here on my blog – just use the search field on the front page.
One of the key features with a Sour Dough is, as mentioned above, the great leavening properties. However, it is quite easy to substitute the sour dough with normal yeast. In the recipe below, I have used fresh yeast, which makes it super easy to make a homemade Nordic rye bread. Of course, I also have the traditional rye bread recipe posted here on my blog. This bread requires a sour dough. Again, you can find the original rye bread recipe by using the search field on the front page.
I know that it can be difficult to get fresh yeast some places in the world. In this case, I am quite sure dry yeast can do the job as well. However, I have not tested this recipe with dry yeast yet. If you have any experience with dry yeast and rye bread I would love to hear from you in the comment section below.
I have done a lot of traveling around the world both private and with my job. I am a person who love to experience new cultures, meet new people especially the ones with a different background then myself. Very simple, I love spend time abroad, if it is business or pleasure, it does not matter. However, when I am traveling around the world there is always one little thing I am missing from back home and that is the Rye Bread. The white and light toast bread, which is the most common type of bread and eaten every day by thousands of people around world, is just not my preferred substitute when I am used to the healthy rye bread.
Rye bread is a very common type of bread eaten in the Nordic countries like Denmark, Sweden and Norway but also some places in Germany. I am also quite sure this bread has found its way to other places in the world. Rye bread will, to the Nordic people, always be something very important and most a part of the daily diet. Once you have tried making your own rye bread I can also recommend to making some of my Rye Bread Chips, which are fantastic delicious as a morning snack or just before dinner.
As I have mentioned several times, this rye bread is very easy to make. I normally always start by measuring out all the ingredients in small cups and bowls – this way the next steps are just super simple.
In a large bowl; add the lukewarm water and dissolve the fresh yeast. Then add all the grains, salt and yogurt and stir to mix. Finish the preparation of the dough by adding the different flours and knead everything into a nice and sticky rye bread dough. You can with advantage use a kitchen machine for this kneading step. After this kneading, set the dough aside and let it rise for about one hour.
Spray coat two bread pans with cooking oil or butter and pour half of the rye dough into each of them. Let the dough rise for another 30 minutes somewhere warm. Before baking the bread, brush the top of the bread with water and sprinkle it with some sunflower seeds. Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F). Once you put the bread in the oven, lower the temperature to 160 C (320 F) and bake the bread for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
2. Add the all different seeds, salt and yogurt. Stir to mix.
3. Add all the different types of flour and mix everything using a wooden spoon or a kitchen machine. The rye bread dough should be quite sticky.
4. Set the dough aside some place warm and let it rise for about 1 hour. It is a good idea to cover the bowl with a clean dishtowel.
5. Pour the dough into two bread pans. If the pans do not have a non-sticking coating, it is a good idea to spray the inside of the pans with some cooking oil.
6. Let the rye bread rise some place warm for another 30 minutes.
7. Brush the top of the bread with some water and sprinkle with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
8. Pre-heat the oven to 200 C (400 F). Place the rye bread in the oven and turn the heat down to 160 C (320 F). Bake the bread for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let the bread cool off on an oven grid or similar.
Awesome – I dint have cracked eye kennel and used rolled oats and some whole grain wheat flour instead. Really easy to make and a great taste.
Hi Laura, Did you substitute rolled oats for cracked rye 1:1?
Few months ago I was looking for baking bread WITHOUT using sourdough. I tried and it went well. Then, later I thought that it was important to read your recipes on Rogbrod WITH sourdough. I tried it and it has been fantastic. Your recipe got very good reactions from my family and from several other families here in Chía, North of Bogotá.
HI Constantino. Thanks for your nice comment. I have both recipes for traditional Nordic rye bread with and without sour dough. I personally use both types of recipes – they are both great.
Hi, If I grind whole rye berries a little bit, does this the same as the cracked rye kernels? Thanks.
I've never tried that. But yes, I think that might work just fine.
Hello Kim, I love your recipes and can't wait to start making them. I am going to make your rye bread for the 26th December and have just realised I need to make the sourdough. Does it need 5 days or can I get away with 3?
In that case I would make the rye bread recipe where I don't need sour dough. You can find the recipe on my blog.
Hello! Very nice recipe! I had a few problems can you give some advice?
When the bread is raw in the middle it sounds like the oven wasn't hot enough when it was baked. Do you have an oven thermometer so that you can check the actual temperature in the oven? It might be too low even though the setting is correct on the front of the oven.

Agriculture Bill
I wish to take this opportunity to explain why I voted against the Lords' Amendments to the Agricultural Bill. Firstly, I want to assure you the quality of food we import into this country will not change as a result of this Bill. This Bill creates agricultural policy in England only. Food from abroad comes in through specific trade deals.
Farmers will not be undercut as a result of this Bill. Chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef are illegal to import – and to produce – in this country and will remain so.
I recognise the Lord's Amendments sounded and looked good, but my job as an MP is to interrogate the legislation and amendments and work out any issues or problems with them. These amendments were riddled with issues that would harm our farmers and food producers here in Derbyshire Dales.
I remain resolutely committed to ensuring that our agricultural industry reaps the huge benefits that Brexit affords us, but this would have been far more difficult had these amendments passed and our nation's food supply and ability to strike trade agreements were undermined.
I know British consumers want produce to be held to the highest standards. If our trading partners want to break into the UK market, they should expect to meet those standards. The manifesto I stood on was clear that in all trade negotiations, our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food standards will not be compromised. The Government will stand firm in trade negotiations to ensure any deals live up to the values of our farmers and consumers
The repercussions of the amendments would have been:
1. These Amendments would have created a large set of new conditions that imports under trade agreements would have to meet. For example, producers having to manage their land the way we do: legal controls on nitrate concentration in soils which are inappropriate for other countries, burning heather as we do, adopting our hedge cutting laws (to protect nesting birds), or having the same climate change initiatives we do such as cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, even if this does not work for their domestic climate or country.
These are conditions that do not exist under ANY agreement the UK or EU has today - yet there are no concerns about their safety currently, and it frankly doesn't make sense to require trading partners with different climates or environments to meet our requirements, which are designed specifically for the UK. We would not accept those sorts of impositions on our own farmers. This means many imports that are legal under EU trade deals would become illegal if we passed this amendment and rolled over the trade deals, so we would have to stop importing foods we import quite happily and safely now.
2. The Amendments could have disrupted negotiations on agreements we are seeking to roll-over but have not yet ratified. This puts preferential terms for UK farmers at risk and our farmers would have suffered as a result. The people who would suffer if we fail to roll existing trade deals over, are our farmers and food producers as they would be unable to export.
3. The Amendments were also not in keeping with World Trade Organisation rules. So, under these amendments our farmers, food producers, supermarkets, our hospitality industry, and farmers in developed nations would be negatively impacted.
We need to strike good trade deals if we want to make the most of this opportunity, and that has already begun, with this Conservative Government securing the first beef exports to The United States in over 20 years, trade deals signed with Japan and Derbyshire Stilton being exported abroad. We all want to maintain our excellent food standards; it is what makes UK produce so appealing to global markets and it is the type of food domestic consumers wish to buy.
I am pleased that the President of the NFU Minette Batters met with Prime Minister Boris Johnson at Number 10 last week and that the conversations continued over the weekend. She reported that the discussions were positive. I would like to see NFU representatives from all home nations of the United Kingdom fully involved in the forthcoming trade negotiations and with the Trade and Agriculture Commission. I know from recent conversations with The Prime Minister that Minette Batters is right when she told the Times on the 19th of October: "Boris told me, I would rather die than hurt British farmers". I, like Boris, will always support our farmers in Derbyshire Dales.

Southampton Women v Swindon Town
Sylvain	FA Women's Cup	 11/12/2016 3 Minutes
With no FA WSL development game around, I turned my attention to the FA Women's Cup game that was postponed last week, Southampton v Swindon.
If you want a real and proper match report, please go to http://www.womenssoccerscene.co.uk/ as they should publish it on the website tonight or tomorrow. You can also see pictures from the game here : http://www.jamesprickett.co.uk/2016-17/SvS111216/index.html
For those who don't know me, I am an Arsenal Ladies fan but with no first team or reserves game, I decided to watch a different game this Sunday. Note that I actually had plan A,B,C and D, in case of games being postponed due to pitch not being playable.
So I set off early on Sunday morning, took the 65 bus to Richmond and then expected to get the train to Clapham Junction. Of course I did not check the engineering work and it was a replacement bus from Reading to Clapham Junction. So I ended up taking the London Overground train up to Willesden Junction and back down to Clapham Junction.
After waiting to see if the game was likely to be postponed again, I set off for Basingstoke where I met Patrick and James, got some excellent French cheese and saucisson from the French market and did our car ride to the ground.
This the the part of the women's footie games that I really enjoy ie meeting friends that I see at games and enjoy watching them together, making it a nice afternoon and also it is nice to see players that I have seen play for many years and different clubs.
For example, at today's game, I was glad to see Kirsty Whitton for Southampton. Kirst used to play for Yeovil and came back after a long term injury. I was also pleased to see Lois Colley in action, although she started the game on the bench. Lois used to play for Middlesex u17 and then London Bees before moving to the USA and came back in England this season and plays now for Swindon.
I find it nice to see how players evolve and improve through their career, for example I remember Gemma Davison back in 2004/05 and n0w a full international. or Ashelight Goddard from the Arsenal Academy time who went to De Paul Uni in Chicago and now plays for London Bees.
Back to the game and Swindon are playing two divisions above Southampton but on the day, we did not see the difference between the two sides. The sides were evenly matched and it was no surprise in the end to see a cup upset with Southampton winning by two goals to nil.
The first goal came in the first with a corner that the goalkeeper dropped while trying to catch it and it was finished from close range. The second goal came in the second half from a left footed a cross cum shot from the right wing that went above the goalkeepers head. she touched the ball but could not clear it.
Swindon could have come back into the game with a penalty that went high and wide and there was no fightback from there. What I noted is ball possession was quite equal with Southampton making good use of the ball throughout the game and Swindon struggling in general to create clear chances.
The two Southampton center backs were extremely solid and only when Swindon introduced two wingers, they started to stretch the Southampton defense. But it was too little to late.
Overall it was a well deserved victory for Southampton who were compact in defense and had a quality passing game throughout the 90 minutes. Cambridge United will be their opponents in the next round on the 8th of Jnauray.

Anti-PrEP Ads on Facebook Cause Uproar
December 9, 2019 by Devin Randall
Single pills (brand name Truvada) containing two antiretroviral drugs, emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxyl fumarate. Truvada is used for pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, a strategy in which healthy people routinely take antiretrovirals to reduce the risk of becoming infected with HIV. / Image via NIAID (CC)
Facebook and Instagram are in the hot seat again for allowing propaganda on their platforms. But this time, the ads are spreading false information that could put people's health at risk.
According to Towleroad, 50 LGBTQ organizations, including GLAAD, the Black AIDS Institute, HealthHIV, AIDS UNITED, ACT UP New York, the Trevor Project, and more, have called on Facebook and Instagram to remove these harmful ads. The primary complaint by these organizations is that various law firms are looking for gay and bisexual men to join a lawsuit concerning Truvada PrEP.
The ads ask if men have used the drug and received harmful side effects like bone density and kidney issues. As explained in an open letter to Facebook and Instagram, GLAAD and co. have expressed concern at the ads' effect. According to the Washington Post, the ads have been viewed millions of times and have scared away potential users who are at risk of contracting HIV.
"By focusing on 'Truvada' and PrEP — rather than 'Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate' (or TDF) and HIV positive individuals who use it as an antiviral — the law firms' advertisements are scaring away at-risk HIV negative people from the leading drug that blocks HIV infections," said GLAAD and co. in their open letter. "This is despite numerous studies underscoring the safety of TDF in HIV-negative PrEP users."

The letter then adds:
"This issue goes beyond misinformation, as it puts real people's lives in imminent danger," the groups warn. "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that when taken daily, PrEP is highly effective for preventing HIV from sex or injection drug use. The CDC states: 'Studies have shown that PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken daily.' The World Health Organization recommends that 'people at substantial risk of HIV infection should be offered PrEP as an additional prevention choice, as part of comprehensive prevention.'"
The groups have demanded that Facebook and Instagram removed the advertisements. In addition, they ask that the companies review and possibly update their current advertising policies to prevent further spread of misinformation. Both companies have yet to comment on the situation.

When we talk about cabbage for babies, we mean, first of all, color. Broccoli has its own name, and white cabbage is not desirable for feeding (the baby may begin to swallow).
The benefits of cauliflower are enormous. It is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, fatty acids, micro-and macronutrients.
In addition, cauliflower is hypoallergenic, which is very important for infants. It includes all the mineral salts and vitamins (B1, B2, B6, C, A, PP) necessary for the baby, and easily digestible vegetable protein. It is able to normalize the work of the intestines, remove heavy metal salts and toxins. Cauliflower serves as a source of iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium.
Infants often suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Cauliflower contains 10 times more iron than eggplants, zucchini or peppers. This circumstance allows to consider it as an excellent preventive and drug for anemia.
The gentle gastrointestinal tract of a baby will easily transfer a new dish that does not irritate the mucous membrane. Cauliflower is perfectly digested and absorbed.
The vegetable contains rare vitamin U. It contributes to the regeneration of the gastric mucosa and the normalization of the acidity of gastric juice.
The first supplements must be entered from 6 months. Earlier terms are always due to lack of body weight, or artificial feeding. Cauliflower is one of the most suitable vegetables for the first independent food besides breast milk. Puree from it is perfectly digested and has a beneficial effect on the digestion of the infant.
A small child does not know how to chew, therefore cauliflower must be mashed. In the first days it is necessary to give very small portions – 0.5-1 tsp. Then the amount of mashed potatoes should be gradually increased.
Liquid puree is preferred because it is easier for the baby to eat, and it is easier to digest. Often moms are worried about the unpleasant taste of the dish from the perspective of an adult. But in fact, the kid at this age perfectly perceives mashed cauliflower, it is just a new taste sensation for him.
First you need to pay attention to the appearance of cauliflower. She must be fresh, free from defects and should have a white even color.
It is strongly recommended to soak the vegetable in cold water before cooking, especially if it is not from your own vegetable garden. Usually the procedure lasts 10-12 hours. You can add a small amount of salt to the water in order to get rid of insects.
Then the cabbage is required to rinse with cold water and pour over boiling water. Boil it should be in unsalted water, pre-disassembled into separate inflorescences. Cooking time is approximately 20 minutes. During this time, it should be quite soft. You can also use a double boiler or a slow cooker.
After the finished cabbage must be finely chopped into a uniform mashed potatoes. For this perfect blender. You can wipe the vegetable through a sieve.
Thick puree baby can not chew and swallow. Therefore, vegetable broth or milk mixture is additionally added to the dish.
In the very first lure it is better not to add any third-party ingredients. Later, you can improve the taste of a meager amount of olive oil. If the child has already tried a lot of lure, it is allowed to prepare vegetable mixes. Salt food baby is not recommended, especially since he did not even notice.

Q: Problemas al hacer un focus o blur a una input Tengo un detalle al querer mostrar un focus en un formulario con JS, la verdad soy novato en JS y hay muchas cosas que aun no entiendo mi código es el siguiente:

  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",(e) =>{

   cerrarFormulario('#close','.registro-user');

});

 function mostrarFormulario(boton,registro,enlace,nombre){

    document.addEventListener('click', (e)=>{
     if(e.target.matches(boton) || e.target.matches(enlace)){
       document.querySelector(registro).style.visibility='visible';
        //document.querySelector(nombre).focus(); //intenté esto

       //document.getElementById('nombre').focus();esto tambie

       let focus = document.getElementById('nombre');
       focus.focus();// esto tambien  :C
     } })   }

   function cerrarFormulario(closeForm,registro){
   document.addEventListener('click', (e)=>{
     if(e.target.matches(closeForm)){
      document.querySelector(registro).style.visibility='hidden';

     } })  }

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/estilos.css">

              <form action="" method="post">

                </form>

Este formulario al que le quiero aplicar el focus  es un formulario con visibility:hidden cuando clic a un botón sale el formulario tapando al login, pero cuando llamo al formulario recibo una leyenda de que tengo que ingresar el dato del formulario del login y yo no quiero que se vea eso así que quiero ponerle ya sea el blur al input del login y que no me mande la leyenda o que directamente al abrir el registro colocarle un focus rapidamente a la input del formulario. Espero contar con su apoyo y muchas gracias.

A: Lo que está pasando es que el botón al cual estás clickeando para mostrar el segundo formulario está disparando el evento submit del primer formulario, lo cual es algo normal ya que tanto ese accionar como el hecho de pulsar la tecla ENTER mientras uno de los elementos del formulario tiene el enfoque generan ese comportamiento.
Lo que puedo sugerirte es que no utilices ese botón para mostrar el segundo formulario, y que, en su lugar, utilices un  y con CSS le des la apariencia de un botón. Finalmente, con JS le das la funcionalidad de mostrar el segundo formulario cuando este elemento sea clickeado.


Renaissance Capital, the Russia/Africa investment banking specialist, has hired John Hyman as co-head of investment banking and financing at the firm, Euromoney has learnt. Hyman will join RenCap from hedge fund Cheyne Capital, where for the past year he had been head of equities. Hyman and his co-head, Andrew Cornthwaite, will be responsible for further developing RenCap's investment banking businesses in emerging and frontier markets, as well as in natural resources. The hiring of a top professional like Hyman with a bulge bracket background indicates that Renaissance is looking to continue its growth strategy and build a more complex organisation. Hyman has some 25 years' experience in the markets, 17 of which were spent at Morgan Stanley. He held a number of senior roles at that firm and was co-head of global capital markets from mid-2008 to the end of 2009. Hyman changed disciplines when he joined the leading European hedge fund, Cheyne Capital, run by Jonathan Lourie, also ex-Morgan Stanley. Hyman played an important role at Cheyne but is understood to have missed the challenges of investment banking. Renaissance Capital began life under CEO Stephen Jennings in 1995 as a boutique Russian investment bank. But it has expanded aggressively over the past five years into other developing markets, notably in Africa and other parts of central and Eastern Europe. It has also opened offices in Hong Kong and Beijing.

Leading researcher says iPhone 7's A10 Fusion chip 'blows away the competition'
By Yoni Heisler
Published Oct 21st, 2016 1:55PM EDT
Image: Apple
Apple famously has hundreds if not thousands of in-house engineers who work on chip design and the group's work is becoming increasingly more impressive with each new iPhone release. Getting right down to it, the new A10 Fusion chip that powers Apple's iPhone 7 is an absolute beast. While new iPhone models are always faster than their predecessors, Apple really outdid itself with the A10, both in terms of overall performance and power efficiency; as we were reminded in a new showdown on Friday, the iPhone 7 crushes leading Android phones.
DON'T MISS: iPhone 7 Plus vs Google Pixel speed tests: Closer, but Android was still crushed in the end
When Apple introduced the iPhone 7, it boasted that the A10 Fusion is the "most powerful chip ever in a smartphone" and, truth be told, it's hard to disagree. As a quick point of reference, consider this: the A10 chip is 40% faster than the A9 chip Apple used in the iPhone 6s. That's a tremendous year-over-year improvement no matter how you look at it.
Since the iPhone 7's release, a variety of testing has confirmed that Apple's A10 Fusion processor is best in class. Most recently, microprocessor analyst Linley Gwennap of Mobile Chip Report recently said that the A10 "blows away the competition."
Apple's investment in custom CPU design continues to pay off, as the new iPhone 7 delivers better performance than any other flagship smartphone and outscores even some low-end PCs. The phone uses a new processor chip, the A10 Fusion, that contains not one but two custom CPU designs, representing Apple's first foray into the Big.Little approach that many other mobile processors employ. The massive Hurricane CPU improves performance by 35% over the previous-generation Twister, boosting both the clock speed and the per-clock performance. The smaller Zephyr CPU helps the iPhone 7 extend battery life compared with its predecessor.
You might also remember that Anandtech had similar praise for the iPhone 7's hardware, calling it "unparalleled and a cut above anything else in the industry." Putting the iPhone 7 through any number of tests, the results speak for themselves.

Toby Keith Shares Major Cancer Update Six Months After Heartbreaking Diagnosis
June 17, 2022 December 3, 2022 / News / By Sara Vallone
Six months after revealing he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and taking some time away from the country music stage to focus on his health, county music legend Toby Keith is sharing an update about how his battle against cancer is going.
While talking with the CMT Hot 20 Countdown, Keith revealed he is still fighting although the road to being cancer-free has been one with a lot of difficult challenges. But despite the hardships he has recently faced, Keith hopes to be back on the road and on the stage soon.
You heard it here first! @tobykeith has plans to get back on the road after battling cancer ???? More details on his road to recovery this weekend only on #cmtHot20! pic.twitter.com/3p3Rs5a1XM
— CMT Hot 20 Countdown (@cmtHot20) November 19, 2022
"I'm thinking about getting back in fighting shape. I need a little bit of time to just rest up and heal up," Keith told the radio show. "It's pretty debilitating to have to go through all that, but as long as everything stays hunky-dory, then we'll look at something good in the future."
Keith surprised fans back in November when he was honored at the BMI Country Awards in Nashville with a 12-minute acceptance speech and a performance. It seems that while Keith may not be ready just yet to get back on the road, he is well on his way.
As Mamas Uncut reported several months ago, Keith made some updates to his summer schedule after initially telling the world about his cancer diagnosis. "I've spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation, and surgery."
Toby Keith Shares Update After Revealing Heartbreaking Cancer Diagnosis
As Keith continued, he added that things are progressing well as his battle continues. "So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax."
A post shared by Toby Keith (@tobykeith)
Keith is specifically dealing with stomach cancer as he wrote in the statement. And as he continues to fight and recover from his treatments, the singer said he will be doing so with his family by his side.
While his news came as a shock to many of his fans, he said he hopes to return to the state soon. "I am looking forward to spending time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can't wait."
In an update to his summer schedule, CMT reports that Keith has canceled many of his shows over the next several weeks. Keith's website revealed that he was scheduled to perform at Ribfest in Illinois on June 17, however, he has since canceled that performance.
CMT further reports that "more than a dozen tour dates listed on his website" have also been removed. It's believed that Keith will not take the stage for the rest of 2022.
Several big-name acquaintances of Keith's took to Instagram to wish him a speedy recovery. From Troy Aikman to Jason Aldean, many people said they were praying for the singer.
"Damn bro," Jason Aldean wrote. "Hate ur dealing with that, but if anybody can kick Cancer's a**, it's you. Prayin' for ya big man."
"Prayers for complete healing," Matt Rogers wrote. "Rest up and relax. We will see you soon."
RELATED: Toby Keith Makes Heartbreaking Announcement But Remains Hopeful for a Return
Several days after his first announcement, Toby Keith took to his Instagram again to share a quick note of thanks. "Thank you for all your love and support. I have the best fans in the world."
The 60-year-old and his wife, Tricia Lucus, have been married for 38 years. The couple shares three children together.

Taiwanese firm invests in Asia's 'most advanced' seafood processing plant
The factory will start production in the first quarter of 2017.
Taiwanese company Anyong Biotechnology is in the process of establishing Asia's "most advanced processing plant" in Kaohsiung, after an investment of TWD 300 million (€8.7 million/$9.5 million), Mel Huang, chief operating vice president at parent Topco Group, told IntraFish.
The plant is expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2017, he said on the sidelines of the 2016 Taiwan International Fisheries and Seafood Show.
Anyong is planning to process frozen giant grouper, green grouper, sea perch, cobia, shrimp and milkfish at the facility.
"We're installing the cells alive system (CAS) technology at the factory, which is Japanese," he said.
CAS uses electromagnetic fields and mechanical vibrations to make the water clusters vibrate, and prevents ice crystal formation that destroys the fish's texture.
As a result, no chemical additives are needed, and the fish tastes and looks like it's only been harvested after being defrosted, Huang said.
It will be the third processing plant using CAS, and also features a warehouse, which will be kept at ultra-low temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius.
The company plans to process around 100 metric tons per month at the plant, which will be located at Mituo District in Kaohsiung, he said.
Anyong Biotechnology was established in 2012 by Topco Group, Asia's premier semi-conductor material supplier in response to "solving food safety issues," Luyi Wu, specialist marketing department at Topco, told IntraFish.
The production at the plant will be dedicated to export markets, with China, Japan and Middle East being the most important ones, she said.
Huang added Anyong is currently looking for agents in those countries.
Topco also runs 13 premium supermarkets in northern Taiwan, and the company has its own shrimp farms too.

The Campus Ministry Program is the heartbeat of Sacred Heart High School. The campus ministry program strives to unite students, staff, alumnae and families in building up a faith community that proclaims and lives the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Together we celebrate the unconditional love of our God in our midst especially in the areas of liturgy, retreats, peer ministry and community outreach. The Campus Ministry program also seeks to empower young women to be in solidarity with the poor and to exercise their Christian leadership in bringing about a more just and peaceful world.
Young women may apply for our leadership team at the end of their sophomore or junior year. They must complete an application and an essay, and participate in an interview.
The young women chosen will then be trained in public speaking, group leadership, peer ministry, leading prayer, liturgy preparation, and retreat planning and leadership. They will assist in suggesting and leading service opportunities and educational opportunities.
Retreat Program
- Freshwomen experience a day retreat early in the fall of their first year. The retreat is centered on Dominican spirituality, and what it
means to be a Sacred Heart "Comet".
- Sophomores experience a day long retreat at a site off-campus. The retreat is geared to the specific needs of the sophomore class
- Juniors experience an overnight retreat at one of the many retreat centers in our area. This retreat acknowledges the leadership of these
new upper-class women, who have (or will shortly) recently received their junior rings.
- Seniors participate in the powerful Kairos retreat, which is a total of 3 days and 2 nights at a local retreat center. The leaders of this
retreat are students specifically chosen and trained for this retreat only.
Occasionally, as time and the schedule permits, the Campus Ministry Team organizes and plans "Twilight Retreats" and prayer and fellowship opportunities to which the entire community is welcome to attend.
The Sacraments of the Catholic Church are a vital part of our program.
- We offer approximately 8 school-wide liturgies throughout the year, from our Opening Liturgy to our final Baccalaureate Mass.
- Classes may occasionally participate in smaller liturgies, especially during their class retreats.
- The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered at least twice per year.
- During the Easter season we celebrate those who will receive their Sacrament of Confirmation, or Baptism.
Christian Service Program Guidelines
- Christian Service Verification Form
Reminder for Seniors:
- The first 15 hours of service are due before December 14, 2015
- The final 15 hours of service are due before March 22, 2016
- Important Dates and Volunteer Locations
Students who fail to complete this time may not be able to participate in senior privileges/activities.
Why Community Service?
In connection with our Dominican Sisters' mission and Sacred Heart High School philosophy of reaching out to "the poor, and the vulnerable," SHHS Christian Service hours encourages us to live our spirit of responsibility and stewardship. Community service is aimed at positively impacting our local and global communities. Community service hours are hours spent during the academic year in work which directly benefits either people experiencing poverty, discrimination, abuse, poor health, old age, and/or physical-mental limitations or the protection of animals or the environment for which an individual does not receive financial compensation. In order to receive credit for your service hours, your location must be approved by Ms. Arredondo. It is the student's responsibility to keep record of service hours, have their hours signed off by the supervisor in charge at the sites, and to turn in their service hours to Ms. Arredondo by the assigned due dates.
Service Hour Due Dates:
- First Semester: December 14th (15 hours)
- Second Semester: Freshmen-Junior hours May 23rd (15 hours)
- Seniors: Hours due March 22nd (15 hours)
*Freshmen are required to complete the first 15 hours of their service hours at their elementary schools.

"In France, it's not okay to walk down the street and eat. I can understand something like this going on in France. I can't understand something like this happening in America."
Quad City Mom, Nicole (who asked News 8 not to use her last name), says she was told she couldn't breastfeed in a public place.
On Wednesday, September 11th, 2013, Nicole says she and her family were participating in the "family swim" at the Two Rivers YMCA in Moline when she got out of the pool to breastfeed her 7-1/2-month-old daughter. Shortly after finishing, she says a male lifeguard approached her.
"He said, 'You can't do that here, but if you want to feed her you can go into the restroom over here and I will watch your kids for you,' and I thought, 'I'm not going to take her into the bathroom and feed her, because I don't even eat in the bathroom.'"
Nicole says she found a manager, who said he wasn't sure of the Y's policy. However, Nicole says she has breastfed at the Two Rivers YMCA before and "never had anybody say anything to me so this was really awkward."
State law in both Illinois and Iowa says a mother can breastfeed in any public place where she is otherwise authorized to be.
Leaders of the Two Rivers YMCA met Thursday, September 12th, 2013 to discuss the incident.
Afterwards, Director of Brand Engagement Wendy Bonilla, told News 8's Angie Sharp, "We have set aside facilities specifically for nursing mothers and encourage them to use them as we try to take into consideration the comfort of all our guests. It is not our intent to violate the law."
However, for other mothers like Jessica Houk from Davenport, the situation was a violation.
"Everywhere is fair game as far as I'm concerned," Houk said.
Houk says she has been approached a couple times while breastfeeding. The most recent instance was at NorthPark Mall a couple months ago.
"Society in general has over-sexualized breasts," says Jessica. "My issue in the mall happened just a few stores down from Victoria's Secret, where you have these monster sized breasts in the window, so it really is a double standard that woman are subjected to."
Houk says the Quad Cities Breastfeeding Coalition got involved and, since the incident, the mall administration and security team has been trained on the laws. She hopes the same thing happens with the Two Rivers YMCA.
"I'm not going to avoid living my life because I have a baby to feed. I'm not going to give my child formula just so I have the convenience of leaving my house. I have every right just like every other mother to feed my baby and until people are coming up harassing moms with a bottle, I don't expect to be harassed either," Houk said.
"I do really like the YMCA," says Nicole. "This is an opportunity for everybody to be educated and for women to feel comfortable enough to know what their right is in public when feeding their child."
Nicole says she met with Randy Groff, COO of Two Rivers YMCA on Thursday afternoon to discuss the incident. She said he told her they will not tell her "or another mother where, when, or how to nurse again."
Meanwhile, Bonilla said on Thursday the Two Rivers YMCA was waiting for clarity on the issue from the YMCA of the USA and, depending on what they say, they may institute a policy change. Later in the day, Bonilla told News 8 - "We have changed our policy to confirm with the law."

This is where Phil Carson found himself when he decided to get out of the diabetes testing supply company he and his partner had built from the ground up.

Daycom sold phone systems but the company had a problem: it had become too reliant on one supplier in a business where the technology was changing fast. Motivated by the fear of becoming obsolete, Day decided to assemble an advisory board to help him prepare the business to sell. The board helped him to see his business through the eyes of a potential buyer and exposed a number of things that Day needed to fix.
Ep. 17 The ADHD Entrepreneur 0
Mark Patey started Prodigy Engineering in 2010 to help companies leverage hybrid engine technology. Four short years later, Patey accepted a multi-million dollar offer to buy the company.
Prodigy Engineering is the latest in Patey's pattern of starting businesses for the purposes of scaling them and then quickly flipping them. Patey has flipped six companies, and his approach could be considered the counterbalance to the prevailing view that businesses should be built to last a lifetime.
When you get to know Patey, his compacted timelines start to make sense. He – like so many successful entrepreneurs – suffers from ADHD, a blessing and at times a curse. Patey credits his ADHD with much of his success at selling businesses.

Ep. 14 The $10 Million Membership Model 0
Small service-based businesses are typically not worth very much, but Walter Bergeron made one simple change to his business model that garnered a $10 M acquisition offer.
Bergeron started a small company servicing circuit boards for large food processing plants. It was a "break/fix" business with lumpy demand and cash flow.
Struggling to grow, Bergeron starting offering a membership model where instead of calling when they had a machine to repair, subscribers paid a monthly fee so they could have their circuit boards serviced at any time.
The switch to a membership model transformed the business and Bergeron quickly grew the company to $7 million in annual sales, at which point he was offered $10 million to sell it.

Ep. 10 The Hairy Deal 0
Finding a buyer for Killer Shade was relatively easy. Closing the deal -- and getting paid -- was a whole lot harder.
Mike Campion had built Phoenix-based Killer Shade up to more than $3 million in sales and $700,000 in profits when he decided he wanted out. Killer Shade was in the business of constructing shades and awnings for playgrounds, patios and parking garages. They did large, profitable jobs but city hall paid slowly and Campion was always stressed about cash.
Campion was able to find a buyer and agree to a price, but that's when the problems started.
Ep. 09 The Zexit 0
Rick Martinez is a military nurse who stumbled into the staffing business by accident and grew his company to 600 employees. Then, when he decided to sell his business, he took a surprisingly zen-like approach to negotiating the deal.
It typically takes a hard-nosed, sharp-elbowed entrepreneur to build a 600-employee company but Rick Martinez built a successful staffing business with no previous entrepreneurial experience. Years later, when he went to sell his company, he took a low-key approach to negotiating the sale. Rick's story provides a welcome alternative to the often adversarial business of selling a company.

I'm struggling friends. Wednesday I had planned to catch up on my writing challenge on ChapterBuzz.com but instead, ended up back in the hospital with my daughter. This is the 4th admission since September and easily the most traumatizing for this mama.
But all is not lost. I can still complete the challenge on time. I can still hit 10k by March 31st. So don't fret and thank you for being patient.
If you follow me on FaceBook, you already know that Shifting Power is only 4 spots away from the top 10! Thank you for reading and buzzing my chapters. Award nominations are coming soon. Last year Apparent Power (available December 2018) won "Most Buzzed" and I have a whisper of a prayer that the sequel will hold the same title.
How can you help? CLICK HERE and read!! If you like it, buzz it. If not, leave me a comment and tell me how it can be better. Believe it or not, YOU make me a better writer.
Dysphagia- Holy Hell. How did this happen?


Since the intent of this blog is to focus on all creative aspects of music, it seemed to make sense to give some props to some of the best album covers from the past year.
I knew as soon as I picked up Écailles De Lune by Alcest that it would be very difficult for anything to nudge it from the top position. To put it simply, everything about this cover is simply stunning. Painted by Fursy Teyssier and laid out by Metastazis the visuals perfectly compliment the blackened post shoegaze sounds of Alcest. And how about the text treatment of the Alcest logo? Put that by itself on the cover and it likely would still be at the top of this list.
Below are nine other covers from the past year that I felt stood out. Have a look and check out the actual recordings while you're at it. Everything shown here is not only great to look at, but totally worth your listening attention as well. Oh, and did I mention that number two was also painted by Fursy Teyssier?
I think the Lantlôs album is called .neon….. Neige de Mars is a track on the album.
You're right. Thanks for pointing that out!

Sometimes lightweight and nimble are what you need to beat the big-power CanAm cars.
We've been going to the Monterey Historics since 2013 when we moved to the western US. Unfortunately, this display of car control from the vintage racing king of Northern California was a couple years before we started attending. Thanks to the Revs Institute, we were given the opportunity to check it out anyway, as they uploaded this 2011 onboard in preparation for next month's festivities. If you have a spare 20 minutes, you can climb into the passenger's seat of Canepa's 1960s Porsche 910 fiberglass flyer. It's clear that his car is outmuscled by some of the larger engined beasts on the grid, but just wait until the misty rain begins and they have to be more conservative with their throttle applications.
There is an, um, interesting moment just after 11 minutes of racing that sees the Porsche facing the wrong way, preventing the car from winning the race outright, but it's a pretty impressive display for the first half of the race. Recovering from a spin and charging back through the field is an impressive feat as well. If you've always wanted to see how these old cars ran in their day, and listen to the wail of a glorious flat-six engine, check out this insider-experience. It's amazing to see what these cars are capable of, even today.
This 910 is pretty great, because even though it runs like a race car, it has all of the trappings of a street car. Note the air vent blower on the dash, and in particular when Bruce puts the car in reverse to back the car into it's spot at the end of the race. Even at low speeds, the car doesn't stumble or stall like many high-powered race cars with heavy clutches would. Impressive stuff.
No highfalutin tech here—just the driver, four speeds, and a 7.2 liter V8 at Road Atlanta.
Glimpses of Group B and classic racing are brought back with this footage.


Ki in koskholo inja moderator kardeh?
haha go for it man.... let it all out!!! you are done here!!!
Jahanbakhsh starts for Brighton and is live on TV.
Yeah, he just smashed the ball onto the cross bar with a header from a corner kick!
He is looking sharp and trying to settle into the game.
Everton is the usual crap. LOOL.
That defending on City's goal was hilarious. neither man marking nor zonal marking.
Talking to a couple of Man United fans and both wanted City to win at Liverpool's expense. i wonder how Everton fans feel about this game. LOOL.
Good half, no goals but good action, Brighton playing well and making lots of opportunities.
Jahanbakhsh not doing too badly, few good balls into Danger areas finding his team mates. He is blending well with his team mates, just needs a bit of luck on his side.
Everton's Jordan Pickford has already dedicated 2 points to Liverpool with his stupid mistake.
You will get hanged in UK for that blasphemy. Pickford is England's golden boy. LOOL.
Pickford and his punching attempt. LOOL. Kun almost scored.
He must stay away from injury & get settled and adapt to Premier League to have a chance at making it here.
Good ball by KDB and Jesus scores. 2 stoppage time goals win it for City.
Extra time min 101 Jahanbakhsh out, Murray in. Min 104 Murray scores. Golden sub.
LOOOL. i love puppet shows.
What a wanker this guy is. He'd be perfect for Iran. CQ has got nothing on him.
