Former White House Official Warns Christians Of Constitution
(BosNewsLife) – An ex-White House official and current leader of an influential human rights group urged Iraq 's government Thursday, July 28, to urgently start a dialogue with Christians as the parliament prepares to adopt a draft constitution that would make Islam the basis of daily life and laws. Jim Jacobson, who was policy analyst in the White House and is now president of Washington based Christian Freedom International (CFI), said the draft constitution makes clear that Islam is to be "the official religion of the State" and "the main source of legislation."
Although the draft is still under discussion he expressed concern that its text, which was published this week in the Iraqi Al-Sabah newspaper, is already supported by the conservative Shiite majority in Iraq 's parliament. Legislatures are to vote on the draft constitution by August 15 before it goes to a national referendum in October. "Religious minorities, i.e. Christians and women are concerned about how great a role Islam will play in the new constitution, with some fearing a return to the dark ages," he said in remarks to BosNewsLife.

Have you ever worked for a perfectionist? For someone that no matter what you do or how you do it, it is never good enough? I know I have! The constant eroding away of one's self confidence usually ends up with high frustration levels and the perfectionist having an ever increasing workload.
I have been described as 'difficult' from time to time, and as a perfectionist but I like to feel that there is a difference between encouraging people to push themselves to find new limits and taking the attitude that it would have been better and easier if I had done it myself? For example, to encourage people not to except sloppy first drafts but to check and double check that the presentation they are preparing communicates precisely what they want to say, first time right, is the normal role of a boss and coach. However, this can be taken too far.
I once worked for a boss in London who kept pushing me to ever higher standards, much higher than he held for himself. He was the worst boss I have ever had, not just because of his perfectionist demands but for the fact that he seemed to have no respect for me or, indeed, for any of his employees. And here lies the key indicator of the story, he didn't like us and we didn't like him.
If you are a perfectionist that has a deep respect for the talent that surrounds you, then there probably is no real issue. From time to time you simply need to re-learn the 80/20 rule.
What are the warning signs for the perfectionist de-motivator?
This is not an attack on perfectionists, there are situations where a perfectionist that has an inherent dislike of those around them can be gainfully employed, for example as safety auditors for nuclear reactor plants, or as homicide detectives, or poets, even as financial analysts on fraud investigations. But I personally would not want one as a project leader or coach again.

Flagstaff, Arizona has its roots in the railway and its growth in the timber industry. The flourishing town became a hotspot for tourism with the Grand Canyon just up the road. This meant hotels were needed and two that remain today are the Hotel Weatherford and the Hotel Monte Vista. They not only have a history, but they also have a reputation for being haunted. Another building with ghost stories is the Flagstaff Public Library. Susan Johnson of Freaky Flagstaff Foottours joins me to share the history and ghosts stories of these locations as well as the horrific true crime story about the Walkup Family that has some hauntings connected to it as well. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Flagstaff, Arizona! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Katrina Rae Saulis and features The Aroostook War and This Month in History features the first V2 Rocket falling on London.

Many cemeteries have been designed to serve as parks. They have many features that we would find in large public parks like statuary, stone architecture, large trees, lush landscaping and beautiful flowers. For taphophiles, cemeteries offer a place of adventure and discovery, whether it is seeking out a specific burial plot or figuring out the meaning of the symbology we find there. For genealogists, cemeteries offer a way to track down ancestors and trace their movements. For historians, cemeteries are a giant story and record of an area. On this episode we are going to discuss cemeteries in general, including the architecture found there, the meaning of the symbols, the materials used and why we love them so much. We also will share the history and hauntings of a couple of cemeteries in Windham, Maine: Chute Road and Anderson, and Hookman's Cemetery in Connecticut. Joining us on this episode is author and historian Annette Student. Listener Suzanne Silk suggested the topic of cemetery symbology and designed our Cemetery Bingo Cards. The Moment in Oddity features a Viking leader killed by a tooth in a severed head and This Month in History features the publishing of the first multi-page American newspaper. This episode is dedicated to Dannah Jones, gone too soon.

Fort Henry was built during the War of 1812 in Ontario, Canada. The fort was constructed to protect the nearby Point Henry because of its proximity to the Royal Naval Dockyards. The fort that stands today is not the original. It was fortified later on to protect the waterways even more thoroughly. Today, it is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living museum. There are more than just the living here. The fort also seems to harbor spirits from the past. Ghost tours are hosted and dozens of people have claimed to have had paranormal experiences. Join us and our listener Sarah Norton as we share the history and hauntings of Ontario's Fort Henry. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by listener Melissa Antonelli and features the Swinging Sailor and This Month in History features Robert Kennedy shot and killed.

NBA All-Stars, Vets, Rising Stars & Execs Get Packing for Food Bank
By Dalton Higgins 2/15/16 | www.samaritanmag.com
Dikembo Mutombo sorts food for the NBA All-Star Day of Service — photo credit: Dalton Higgins.
Like many NBA All-Star weekend attendees and viewers, you might've been fixated on the NBA All-Star game hype and the dozens of all-star weekend parties that flooded downtown Toronto. But just outside obvious media sightlines, a mix of the NBA's past and present — from East/West all-stars all the way to rising stars — donated their time and labour on Friday (Feb. 12) at the Enercare Centre to sort and repack food donations alongside the Daily Bread Food Bank.
"We all should take a moment to appreciate the position that we are in, and think about how others are faring," New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony told Samaritanmag. The 2013 NBA scoring champion and nine-time NBA All-Star could be seen packing cartons and bags of carrots, green peppers and potatoes with the same fervour as when he sets up to hit a flurry of 20-foot jump shots.
"Those who have influence should always try to give back, especially those who know what it was like to grow up in underprivileged communities. It's only right," he said.
The food bank initiative was part of the NBA Cares All-Star Day of Service, and on this day nothing much else outside of community service mattered.
Outfitted in a sea of red NBA Cares tees, the only way one could distinguish the NBA players from the more than 400 volunteers, including the Daily Bread Food Bank staff, was, of course, their height.
Retired 7"2 center Dikembo Mutombo, one of the greatest shot blockers of all time, seemed to have little time for press; he was too busy stuffing bags of onions, carrots and potatoes into fresh healthy food hampers. While it took him a while to squeeze his massive hands into the work gloves provided (one woman kept repeating "put the gloves on already") once he did, he started packing bags at a furious pace.
At this gathering, it became clear that the NBA Cares program — a global social responsibility initiative that builds on the NBA's mission of addressing important social issues, and that provides 3 million hours of hands-on service to others — must have significant sway in the minds of the NBA players themselves.
In addition to the sea of NBA veterans and All-Stars, from three-time NBA champion Dwayne Wade (Miami Heat) to rising star John Wall (Washington Wizards), NBA commissioner Adam Silver was on hand, as well as Toronto Raptors GM Masai Ujiri.
Ujiri, who has become one of the faces of this newer generation of NBA executive philanthropists, also rolled up his sleeves and packed food with the smile of a charitable veteran.
"It's really important because some of us come from communities and were once people in these positions," Ujiri told Samaritanmag of his intrinsic need to pay it forward and why he started his Giants of Africa Foundation to give back to the youth of Africa by teaching life and basketball skills.
"Now that we've been put in maybe better positions and we have the opportunity to have the jobs that we have, we always have to give back and give opportunities to others. It's what I always preach, and I'm so proud of the NBA, and so proud to be a part of all of this."

Everytown For Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action Applaud Attorneys General For Suing to Prevent Schematics for Downloadable, Untraceable Guns to be Posted Online
21 Attorneys General Filed Suit in Washington State to Prevent The Trump Administration From Enabling Schematics for Downloadable, Untraceable Guns to Be Posted Online
In Previous Suit, Attorneys General Succeeded in Blocking the Trump Administration from Allowing Downloadable Gun Schematics to be Posted Online
WASHINGTON — Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown, released the following statements today applauding 21 attorneys general for filing suit in Washington state to prevent the Trump administration from enabling schematics for downloadable, untraceable guns to be posted online.
"These attorneys general are doing life-saving work by trying to correct a dangerous Trump administration decision that would allow felons, domestic abusers, and terrorists to create untraceable guns with ease," said Nick Suplina, Everytown's managing director for law and policy.
"The Trump administration has ignored the vast majority of Americans who agree that downloadable gun schematics shouldn't be accessible online, allowing anyone to create untraceable weapons anywhere," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. "I applaud these attorneys general for stepping up where this administration has failed."
The suit, filed last night, is led by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and the attorneys general of 19 other states and DC. It came just hours after the Trump administration finalized a rule shifting oversight of downloadable guns from the State Department to the Department of Commerce––thus making it easier to post downloadable gun schematics online. The attorneys general are seeking to block the rule, arguing that the administration has failed to provide any rationale for weakening oversight of downloadable guns, which endanger Americans by making it easier for terrorists and criminals to obtain these weapons.
The argument that there is no evidence justifying the rule mirrors those made in a previous successful attorneys general suit, also filed in Washington state, in which a federal court granted a nationwide injunction then found the Trump administration's previous attempt to exempt one company from the State Department's rule unlawful. The next day, the Trump administration moved forward with the shift in oversight despite the court's ruling and the American people's overwhelming opposition to downloadable gun schematics being posted online, therefore enabling anyone––including convicted felons and domestic abusers––to download schematics and 3D-print their own untraceable guns.
Since downloadable gun schematics were first posted online in 2013, they have begun to show up in the hands of criminals. In February of 2019, for example, a Texas man was sentenced to 8 years in prison after officers caught him with a partially 3D-printed AR-15 rifle and a list of lawmakers' addresses in his backpack, despite being banned from owning a firearm due to a violent altercation with a live-in girlfriend. According to the Congressional Research Service, the 3-D printer that a criminal would need to create such a weapon could cost less than $150. As the suit says, "the [Trump administration's] Final Rules are toothless: they contain significant loopholes that will permit Firearm Files to be globally disseminated with ease."
After the initial announcement in July 2018 that downloadable guns would be released online, there has been an outpouring of opposition from state attorneys general, elected officials, and Americans across the country:
Law enforcement officials and military veterans urged the State Department to protect public safety by blocking the publication of these schematics;
Everytown's supporters made 24,851 calls and sent 164,436 messages to the State Department;
In the previous successful lawsuit mentioned above, the Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and the attorneys general of nineteen other states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit to bar the government from lifting its prohibitions on companies distributing computer code for downloadable guns. The attorneys general's legal theory was largely based on a motion initially filed by Everytown Law and other leading gun safety organizations in Texas federal court. Everytown filed an amicus curiae brief in support of that lawsuit.
The attorneys general were successful in that initial lawsuit. The court found that the State Department failed to give thirty days' notice to the Congressional foreign relations committees as required by 22 U.S.C. § 2778(f)(1). The court further found that the agency action was arbitrary and capricious for two reasons:
"The agency failed to consider aspects of the problem which Congress deemed important before issuing the temporary modification and letter on July 27, 2018."
The Department of State had previously determined that downloadable guns would be "a threat to world peace and the national security interests of the United States and would cause serious and long-lasting harm to its foreign policy," and the court found that "the agency failed to identify substantial evidence in the administrative record explaining a change of position that necessarily contradicts its prior determinations and findings regarding the threats posed by [downloadable guns] and the need to regulate [them]."
Experts are available to provide more information on downloadable guns and the litigation.
Every day, more than 110 Americans are killed with guns.

Meg Tuthill: What About Her Emails?
Misleading graphic note: emails not leaked, they were data requested.
(Read Part I)
When last we heard from Meg Tuthill on the bike lane issue, she was flanked by signs that said "Nazi Lane" while participating in a protest of the new safety features on 26th and 28th Streets. But she's more than just an outspoken opponent of bike lanes.
After being defeated in 2013, Council Member Tuthill transitioned directly from working as an elected official into an administrative position with the city's Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED) department. This allowed her to keep her old City Council email address, and become Meg Tuthill: Shadow Council Member.
One thing you learn when you request Meg Tuthill's government emails is that she's close with former colleague and current City Council Member Lisa Goodman (gives you a leg up when you're looking for a job at CPED).
Here's a conversation from January 2016, when Goodman wanted Tuthill to help her use the Healy Project to stop new multifamily housing in Goodman's ward. Goodman wanted to "keep this out of the email" (a thing she said in an email) in order to avoid "litigation."
Email related to multifamily housing proposal for 1900 Colfax.
The reason Goodman is seeking help from Tuthill's friends at the Healy Project is because it's the same tactic Tuthill used to fight apartments at 2320 Colfax during the latter part of her term on the council. There's a reason Goodman is afraid of getting sued for organizing neighborhood opposition to a project she might have to vote on — she was sued for doing that very thing 10 years ago:
That pushed Hoyt over the edge. He filed his lawsuit on March 27, 2007.
Goodman hounded the Loring Park neighborhood group staff and board members to provide the group's email list, so that she could send them the complaint. When they refused, she even threatened to cut off the group's funding.
The court battle dragged on for two and a half years. Skolnick, Hoyt's attorney, pursued a three-pronged legal strategy, essentially arguing that Goodman—and the city of Minneapolis—had deprived his client of fair and equal treatment.
The key question was whether Goodman had made up her mind before she voted on Parc Centrale. Unfortunately for Goodman, a flurry of email evidence showed she had taken a position, lobbied other council members, and even helped neighbors organize their opposition. She did all this weeks before she cast an official vote.
In another message, Tuthill consulted with Lisa Goodman via their government email accounts about Goodman's rumored 2017 opponent, Will Bornstein. Bornstein is a former president of the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association, a group Tuthill has been involved with for five decades after helping found the organization in the early 1970s. (As it turns out, Will Bornstein did not run against Lisa Goodman in 2017.)
The Healy Project features prominently in Tuthill's work life. In May 2015, Tuthill asks another city employee to help her edit a Healy Project tour invitation: "Would you please proof and make changes for me?"
Another thing you notice in these emails is that former Council Member Tuthill's grudge against the current council member is keeping Tuthill from performing her job at the city. When Tuthill was asked in March 2016 to set up meetings with a number of city council members, Tuthill refuses to communicate with Lisa Bender's office by responding: "Happy to do this. All but Bender. I'm sorry." In another email Tuthill says, "Left messages for all the other [council members] except Bender."
Other emails show a continued concern with Lisa Bender. In October 2015, Tuthill sent a message to the President and CEO of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, praising his performance in a radio debate with Lisa Bender.
The subject of the MPR discussion was Mayor Hodges' proposed Working Families Agenda. Tuthill writes, "I want to thank you for your calm, reasonable approach to this disastrous idea from Glidden, Bender and Hodges."
Referring to paid sick time, Tuthill tells him, "I find this frightening. Acting as a union for the private sector is not the job of government."
One last thing to note: Meg Tuthill lives up to my stereotype of extremely concerned residents, wielding her influence at CPED to demand access to the Star Tribune comment section.
This has been your update on the once and future leader of the Ward 10 government-in-exile. The post-election period could be a wild ride (just like four years ago) as the Wedge neighborhood's Tuthill faction grapples with the idea of another four years in the wilderness. Just keep in mind that our bike lane battles aren't always about bike lanes.

Public and Private: Partners in the Public Interest
By Chris Wales, David Banks, Dr Adrian Bull, Kevin Beeston, Patrick Diamond, Sir Andrew Foster, Stelio Stefanou OBE and Tim Stone
Available in: Print and PDF
Edited by Paul Hackett.
Published 2007 (ISBN 1 905370 27 X) Price £9.95
The UK has led the world in public-private partnerships (PPPs), with over £5 billion of private finance initiative (PFI) projects signed over the past 15 years. A further £6 billion of PFI investment is in the pipeline for the next three years, including substantial capital investment programmes in health and education. PPPs are now well established across all the key public service sectors and continue to act as a catalyst for innovation and reform. However, the evolution of PPPs has not been entirely without problems, and some trade unions remain strongly opposed to the PFI programme. There are also concerns among private bidders about the way PPPs are structured and designed. There is, nevertheless, cross-party support for PPPs and a much better understanding of how they operate over the longer term. The challenge, as outlined in this monograph, is to take forward the next generation of PPPs in a way that is best suited for tomorrow's public services. We must establish, for example, how we can strengthen the system of checks and balances, and what more needs to be done to shift the focus away from the construction and maintenance of infrastructure and more towards issues such as "personalisation" and improving service outcomes. Getting the PPP programmes fit for purpose in an ever changing world will not be easy, not least in terms of quality, procurement routes, customer choice, value for money, governance and public accountability. These are all complex tasks, yet all of the authors of this monograph believe that PPPs can make a positive and lasting contribution towards the improvement of our public services.

Ohhh I can't wait to see what you think of Island of Exiles. I struggled with it personally. I wasn't able to connect to any of the characters and the constant rank/names confused the ever living life out of me BUT it was such a unique book and I really have been wanting to see someone love it. Fingers crossed that book works much better for you!
Sorry you didn't love it. I'm hoping it's a win for me.

ChinaCache Partners with F5 Networks to Provide a Safer Network Environment
Wei Zhang, Vice President at ChinaCache, spoke at F5 Networks Partner Conference.
"CDN is a critical link between companies' origin servers and their end users. In the early days, network security would be addressed at the origins. Companies might purchase equipment and software to build their own security systems. However, in recent years, as CDN gets more integrated into our clients' services, we as CDN providers need to think about how to protect clients' origin data while ensuring high availability of their resources," said Wei Zhang, Vice President at ChinaCache, during the F5 Networks Partner Conference held in Chengdu, China from April 11-12, 2019.
The fundamental idea of CDN is to avoid bottlenecks and links on the Internet that may affect the speed and stability of data transmission. The solution to store the Internet content in "warehouses" (CDN edge servers) close to the end users, shortening the transmission path to improve the transmission efficiency.
With 20 years of experience, ChinaCache has expanded its CDN service to create a holistic, integrated ecosystem that is capable of distributing content, storing data, and providing interconnection and traffic exchange services.
Although the Internet Exchange center provides traffic scrubbing to achieve maximum network security, to avoid security risks at origins and ensure the security of data transmission, ChinaCache teamed up with F5 Networks to provide a comprehensive and reliable security solution.
Established in 1996, F5 Networks is a leading global provider of Application Delivery Network (ADN), delivering fast, secure and intelligent enterprise-class application services and security solutions to large enterprises, Internet Service Providers, government agencies and consumer brands around the world. Equipped with strong network security protection capabilities, F5 Networks provides load balancing, secure DNS services, Web Application Firewall (WAF), identity authentication, access management, and anti-DDoS services.
"Guaranteeing network performance is ChinaCache's expertise, and F5 Networks' security solution is a great complement in terms of the scope of services. Our jointly built security service platform is armed with solid technical capabilities and will provide broader services," shared Wei Zhang.
ChinaCache & F5 Networks Security Platform
ChinaCache & F5 Networks Security Platform is an attack prevention platform on the application layer deployed close to clients' origins. It is an online platform that supports usage on-the-go with flexible expansion, which effectively filters and shields application-layer attacks and malicious traffic, keeping security threats away from clients' core data as much as possible.

OXYGEN TANK PARTLY DRAINED BEFORE I-40 CRASH.
Jackson, Tenn. - The 75-foot high fire and explosion that erupted when a tractor-trailer hit a tanker carrying oxygen could have been much worse, officials said. The oxygen tanker was nearly empty when it was hit, said Dana Keeton of the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Five people died and one was injured when a tractor trailer driver apparently fell asleep and ran into the oxygen tanker in front of the rest stop at mile marker 73.
"It would have been a much larger explosion and it would have affected the entire rest area," said Keeton, THP public information officer. "It had already been emptied, but it still created a hazardous situation."
Fire and emergency crews worked 10 hours Thursday to keep flames and heat away from the oxygen, which is highly flammable. Traffic was diverted around the crash site most of the day Thursday, and was down to one lane until Friday afternoon. Jackson's THP Capt. Gerald Allen said traffic should flow as usual this morning.
The oxygen tanker belong to Cryogenics Transportation Inc. of Omaha. The drivers were JOHN HALL, 59, and FLORENCE ARMSTRONG, 47, both of Perkins, Okla. They were both killed in the crash.
The Ryder truck, carrying boxes of undergarments and rolls of clothing fabrics was leased to ladies undergarment maker Cupid Foundations Inc. of Blackwell, Okla. The drivers were MIKE NEELEY, 32, and RICK HOLDER, 41, both of Tonkowa, Okla.
"We are terribly saddened by the loss of two great employees," said Jim McCormack, director of safety and human resources for Cupid Foundations. NEELEY and HOLDER were heading back from Miami and had been through the Carolinas. They were supposed to return home Thursday night. "Our hearts go out to their families."
Officials say the fifth victim, a man, was traveling in the Ryder truck, but officials will not release his name until they notify the next of kin.
When the oxygen tanker was hit, it was parked behind two other trucks along the ramp leading from the rest area, Allen said. Keeton said the Ryder truck slammed into a 1999 Peterbilt being driven by Alexander Tsvetkov, 34, and Igor Petryuk, 34, both of Brooklyn, N.Y. The truck was leased to Aleksey Konshin, owner of a small trucking company in Oklahoma. Tsvetkov and Petryuk were not hurt.
A fourth truck, driven by TONY COLLINS, of Hanover, Ind., also was hit in the accident. COLLINS, who was asleep, was thrown from his bunk, broke his collarbone and ruptured his spleen. He is in fair condition at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital and may be held one more day, said hospital spokeswoman Kay Craddock.
COLLINS, Tsvetkov and Petryuk were ticketed for improper parking, Keeton said.
The entrance and exits to rest areas are considered part of the interstate and it's illegal to park there unless it's an emergency, Keeton said. She said the oxygen tanker may have been parked on the shoulder as well, but an eyewitness said the truck was rolling out of the rest stop at the time.
Allen said the ticketed drivers and the tanker were probably parked there because the rest area was full.
The accident - apparently caused by a sleepy driver - brought to light the need for more rest areas where truckers can stop and get their sleep, said one local trucking company vice president, Joe Wells. Truckers are allowed to drive only 10 hours every 24-hour period, but rest areas are often full, Wells said.


"Advancing the development of clean coal technologies is an important part of President Obama's strategy to develop every source of American energy and ensure the United States leads the world in the global clean energy race and continues to take advantage of domestic resources here at home," said U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, 2012.
Perhaps coal is the best example of this fact.
"If we find ourselves in a situation…where we say no coal…then we're really not serious….We can't say to African leaders well because of our other concerns, you're going to have wait on getting energy…we have to look at every single option...we know that intermittent energy has never led to economic development in any other country," Jim Yong Kim, President, World Bank, 2014.


Dublin, Nov. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/hvm8ws/biomaterials) has announced the addition of the "Biomaterials Market [By Products (Polymers, Metals, Ceramics, Natural Biomaterials) & Applications (Cardiovascular, Orthopedic, Dental, Plastic Surgery, Wound Healing, Tissue Engineering, Ophthalmology, Neurology Disorders)] Global Forecasts to 2017" report to their offering.
A biomaterial is a natural or synthetic material suited to replace or treat natural body tissues and organs on interaction with biological systems. It traces its history to more than 2000 years ago, when Romans, Chinese, and Aztecs used gold for dental applications. Biomaterials, which are also biocompatible, have since been adapted, improvised, and technically enabled to improve body functions and replace damaged tissues. They have evolved to include biodegradable materials that are easily dissolved in the body. Advances in technology and the emergence of innovative biomaterial products have enhanced their performance and applications.
The global biomaterial market is estimated to reach $88.4 billion by 2017 from $44.0 billion in 2012, growing at a CAGR of 15%. Increased investments, funding and grants by government bodies worldwide, incessant rise in the number of collaborations, conferences and research-related activities, technological advancements, increasing applications of biomaterials, and growing number of elderly people are the major factors propelling the growth of the biomaterial market globally. Immunological and inflammatory reactions, stringent regulatory systems, issue of fracture fatigue and wear and reimbursement concerns are the major deterrents curbing the biomaterial market.
The global biomaterial market witnesses a plethora of growth opportunities. Novel developments of biomaterial for wound healing, plastic surgery, tissue engineering, ophthalmology, and neurology, colossal pool of cardiac patients in Asia, rise of biomaterial market in China and Taiwan, and increased conferences and research-related activities in RoW countries are major factors influencing the growth of the biomaterial market. The burning issues affecting the growth of biomaterial market are challenges to tissue engineering and effect on suppliers by the Biomaterials Access Assurance Act.
This research report categorizes and analyzes the global biomaterial market under two broad segments - type and application. Both of these markets are broken down into segments and sub-segments, providing exhaustive value analysis for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and forecast to 2017. Each market is comprehensively analyzed at a granular level by geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World) to provide in-depth information on the global scenario.


The Effect of Bank Capitalisation on the Performance of Banks in Nigeria.
Globally, such business combinations have involved various sizes of companies as well as assets and have cut across economic sectors. While many business combinations have been well received by parties involved, other have done so with stiff resistance often resulting in long battles to prevent the combinations.
With the latest CBN regulation and the systematic withdrawal of Federal funds from the banks, a lot of banks are on the brink of extinction. As a result of this a lot of banks are now either going public or trying to position themselves as banks of choice for possible merger or acquisition by other banks. This new development would also impact on employment, as most top management would be affected and other young staff would be thrown into the labour market in the bid to have the required number of directors by the regulatory authorities and on the economy at large.
In Nigeria today, a number of banks wanting to merge may run into difficulties, because most Nigeria banks are not quoted on the stock exchange and the assets of some are really bad. The effect of the merger is that merging banks in the country, under the current dispensation may lose their licenses and be issued new ones to reflect the new consolidated outfit. As we go on in the subsequent chapters, further critical look shall be taken on the effect that this development is likely to or will have on the Nigeria banking industry and the economy at large.

IN 1948 nobody could have predicted the shape of the National Health Service today.
Back then, in a country still feeling the effects of World War II, the practicalities of pro- viding free healthcare to men, women and children across the board was not without opposition from the medical profession and politicians.
That radical idea, taken up by Winston Churchill in 1943, led to Britain becoming the first country in the world to make its health service available to everyone on the basis of citizenship, rather than payment, five years later.
world as the pride of Britain in the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. And now here we are, celebrating the NHS's 70th birthday. Today, people are living 13 years longer than in the late 1940s.
There are more than five times more nurses than when the health service was founded, and doctor numbers have increased tenfold. GP services are accessible every day of the week. It's safe to say the health of the nation has improved immeasurably thanks to the NHS.
We are also seeing the highest-ever cancer survival rates. On my recent visit to Cancer Research UK, where I was briefed on the importance of early diagnosis and cancer screening in the fight to beat this disease, it highlighted the sad truth that not only are ethnic minorities more susceptible to certain types of cancers, but awareness of risks and symptoms is often lower.
It's therefore absolutely cru- cial we make it easier to detect and treat cancer, and this government is taking action on several fronts, including The- resa May announcing a £75 million investment plan into new prostate cancer research – a disease that affects double the number of black men compared with other ethnic groups.
The NHS does not stand still, and is constantly looking for new ways to innovate and evolve to provide patients with the best possible care. We are determined that our NHS can provide what we most need: more time with our loved ones.
The NHS was founded on being "not only a full service, but a really human and personal service", and this still holds true today.
We are blessed with world-class doctors, nurses and researchers who provide an outstanding service day in, day out, across the country. It is right that we recognise their enduring contribution to the quality of NHS care, and this government was able to award wage rises of at least 6.5 per cent for more than one million NHS workers in England earlier this year.
The importance of the NHS to the nation is self-evident and, to mark its 70th birthday, Theresa May has announced an increase in the NHS budget by £20.5 billion a year, in real terms, over the next five years.
This coincides with a 10-year plan to transport the health service into the future.
Happy Birthday NHS. Long may you continue your compassionate and comprehensive care of every citizen of the United Kingdom on the core principles set out 70 years ago; available to all regardless of wealth, meeting the needs of everyone, free at the point of delivery, and based on clinical need, not ability to pay.

Their supervisors, scarred from being forced to stay up for hours on end themselves, crow that no medical training can be complete without work shifts that tear one's circadian rhythms apart and that there is no such thing as a good doctor who was not bullied. But a system that produces one of the highest professional suicide rates in the nation cannot remain; we are lying too far to the right of the bell curve. There are other options. Whether this includes improving handoff procedures in the hospital, quickly firing the racist attending doctor or the lecherous surgeon, lengthening residencies to reduce weekly work hours, adding more residents to help with the patient loads (and facilitate actual taking of breaks and naps), or requiring teaching hospitals to provide free and unbiased counseling along with a morning off to actually use it, programs that purport teaching and education should follow the lead of those already working to face the problem of young physician suicide head-on.
For patients worrying about their safety under the care of depressed doctors on little sleep, supporting lawmakers like Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.), who has presented bills in favor of expanding funding to increase residency positions, is a start. At the hospital level, speaking to the residency and medical student rotation leaders about the trainees seeming overworked or overwhelmed can be a start to a healthier training program, giving a voice to the voiceless. Demanding happy doctors may be exactly how to save a life.
Support the upcoming film 'Do No Harm" http://www.donoharmfilm.com and raise awareness of physician suicide.

Q: How to interpret two clauses separated by a semicolon, then followed with a colon If two clauses separated by a semicolon are then followed with a colon, does the colon apply to only the second clause, after which it appears, or does it apply to both clauses being considered as a single "unit"?
It would look like the following: clause 1; clause 2: clause 3.
So does the colon apply to only clause 2, or does it apply to clause 1 and clause 2 considered as a single "unit"?

A: I can't say I know in what sense you mean a colon applies to a preceding clause, so I'm not sure I can entirely answer your question. But I think there are some assumptions and terminological confusion in it that should be addressed. You probably know these things, but just to keep terminology straight:

*

*Sentences are groups of words which work together to complete a thought and can therefore stand and on their own; sentences begin
with a capitalized word and end with terminal punctuation:
period, question mark, or exclamation point--not a colon or
semicolon.
Groups of words which are grammatical and semantic equivalents of
sentences but are only part of a sentence are called independent
clauses. They must be punctuated correctly, usually separated from
each other with a semicolon or a comma and coordinating conjunction.
The independent clauses in a sentence should work together to
completely address a single topic. What comes after a colon should be
even more closely related to the preceding clause; its structure can
vary.
Sentences and independent clauses are both statements.
Following your schematic example, substituting "statement" for "sentence," statement 1 and statement 2 are independent clauses separated by a semicolon; whatever comes after the colon specifically fulfills, exemplifies, or supplements a thought broached in statement 2 and can have various grammatical forms:  a single word, a phrase, or an independent clause begun with a capitalized word.

Move over, strawberries — there's a new perfect pairing for rhubarb. Full of juicy blueberries, this blueberry rhubarb pie is the perfect early summer fruit dessert.
For a weird vegetable that is definitely not a mainstay of the American diet, I sure do get a lot of "what can I do with all this rhubarb?!" questions.
If you're part of a spring/early summer CSA, or frequently visit farmers markets, you're guaranteed to come across some rhubarb. And I'm here to help you figure out how to use it all up.
Today I'm going to suggest something that I'd argue is even better: a blueberry rhubarb pie.
Not only does it have a much more fun name (bluebarb pie!!), I find blueberries are just overall better in a pie.
No need to slice them. They hold up better without getting super-mushy. And the combination of the red rhubarb and purple blueberries blend into a gorgeous magenta-colored filling.
I've shared my favorite pie crust recipe before, and all my best tips for the foundation of a perfect pie. Now let's talk a little about the filling for a fruit pie.
Fruit contains a lot of water (in this case, the blueberries), so we need something to absorb all that extra moisture.
My favorite way to thicken fruit that doesn't naturally contain pectin? Instant tapioca!
It's easy to find (look for it in the baking aisle of the grocery store), it adds just enough of a gel-like structure to hold together the blueberries, and it never leaves a gummy mouth-feel or makes the filling cloudy.
After you add the tapioca to the fruit, let the mixture sit for a few minutes so it can start to absorb some of the liquid. For the best results, make sure your fruit is room temperature — don't use it straight out of the refrigerator.
But while the resting period helps absorb a little moisture, the real magic of tapioca happens during the baking process. Make sure the fruit filling comes to a boil.
Look for the fruit filling to start bubbling through the vents on the top crust of the pie. Reaching this bubbling stage is key to ensure that the tapioca has fully dissolved into the filling.
Let the pie cool down to room temperature before slicing. And if you really want a treat, top your blueberry rhubarb pie with a big slice of vanilla ice cream. So long, strawberries: bluebarb's where it's at!
Lots of rhubarb? Don't miss these other rhubarb recipes!
Move over, strawberries – there's a new perfect pairing for rhubarb pie.
Preheat oven to 425 °F. Prepare pie crusts according to these directions. Line a deep 9-inch pie pan with the bottom crust and place the crust in the freezer.
Combine the rhubarb, blueberries, 3/4 cup of sugar, instant tapioca, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine. Remove the pie pan from the freezer and transfer this mixture into the bottom crust. Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter the butter across the top of the filling.
Place the top crust over the filling. Trim excess dough to leave a 1/2-inch border, tuck the top edges of the crust under the bottom, and crimp. Cut vents on the top crust of the pie, then brush the whisked egg white over the top of the crust.
Transfer the pie dish to a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 °F and bake for an additional 25 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of sugar over the top of the crust, then bake for an additional 10 minutes, or util the filling begins to bubble through the vents.
Let pie cool completely, at least 2 hours, before serving.
Pie will keep at room temperature for 24 hours, refrigerated for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze the whole pie, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. To freeze individual slices, place slices on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once fully frozen, wrap each slice in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Defrost at room temperature before eating.
wow! this blueberry pie looks really delicious! I'm bookmarking it to try it out soon..
I love blueberry pie, but never thought of combining it with rhubarb. Looks so delicious and perfect for the summer!
What a lovely combination, not seen blueberry and rhubarb together before and yet I really like the sound of it. The pie looks so pretty and appealing, and I love your crockery too btw!
I dont know what I love more the table settings are beautiful and presentation here or the pie! Wow both are fabulous!
What delicious flavours – I love rhubarb and blueberries, such a perfect combination.
Oh my, this looks glorious! I love rhubarb pies and have never tried to pair it with blueberries! I will try it as soon as my rhubarb is ready to be harvested!
I would love this recipe if for no other reason than I'm a HUGE fan of mashing words together. Bluebarb is so fun! I also love baking with rhubarb, so it's a double win!
This bluebarb (hehe, love the name) looks so delicious! I will eat anything with rhubarb! I can't get enough of it when it comes in season! I love the trick about the tapioca too! Great recipe and beautiful photos!!
This is so ingenious – why don't I see blueberries and rhubarb hanging out together more often? (I mean … BLUEBARB … too great!!!). I also loved your tip about using instant tapioca instead of pectin for thickening – brilliant! This pie looks sensational!
This is such a genius combination. My complaint I always have with blueberry pie it that the blueberry turns to a liquid or sauce when it cooks without much to hold it up. The rhubarb really looks like it's supporting the blueberry in this recipe solving that texture issue! Looks fantastic!
Thank you so much for coming up with this beautiful idea! Whenever rhubarb is in season I try to use it in everything I can, adding this to the list!
Tapioca is a great way to make sure the pie doesn't get too soggy from all that delicious blueberry juice. This pie is absolutely gorgeous – perfect for picnic season!
I keep reminding myself that I need to make something with rhubarb soon!! This pie is going on the list – it looks delicious!
Fruit pies are perfect for summer! The addition of rhubarb to the blueberries just makes for the perfect pie to take to any get together this year.
You're right, the color is just gorgeous! The whole pie is gorgeous! The thing with strawberry rhubarb, in Canada, is that they come out at the same time, while for local blueberries we have to wait a bit longer. But I love this combo and maybe I'll freeze some rhubarb to try it later on!
This should be the pie of the summer! I love blueberries, but I have never had blueberry pie! Must try this!


What should I know about medical abbreviations? What do they mean?
Have you ever wondered why you can't read the doctor's note or the letters and numbers on a prescription? Health care professionals often quickly scribble notes with important medical information that they would like a patient to reference in regard to the type of current, or recently diagnosed disease, syndrome, or other health condition(s). Have you ever see the doctor's notes in your medical record and found peculiar abbreviations and jargon? Do you wonder what the letters and numbers mean on your prescriptions or other items related to a disease, syndrome, or disorder?
Doctors and other health care professionals commonly use a list of abbreviations, acronyms, and other medical terminology as a reference to rapidly search and accurately record information about, and give instructions to their patients. There is no standard or approved list used by health care professionals to search for medical acronyms or abbreviations. Therefore, it is important to understand the context in which the abbreviation or term has been used.
Abbreviations, acronyms, and medical terminology are used for many conditions, and for instructions on medication prescribed by your doctor. This is a short list of common abbreviations you may have seen on a doctor's notepad; a prescription drug package or bottle; lab or other test results; or in your doctor's notes.

The new energy strategy for the EU
Energy 29 November 2020 , by Newsletter European
With the launch of the Green Deal last December, the European Commission initiated the transition to a new type of economy and society. A radical transformation that brings with it an upheaval in the way Europe has produced, consumed and lived until today. The goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 is now well known and has found consensus at institutional and public opinion levels. Therefore, since the beginning of the year, the Commission has set out to identify strategies and tools to this end, which assumes, however, a multi-level, cross-sectoral intervention involving European economies and societies as a whole. With this in mind, new instruments were announced on 14 October, complementing those already introduced to date.
The energy sector is undoubtedly among those with the greatest impact on emissions and, therefore, on the climate neutrality goal. The regulatory framework of the Union's energy policy requires each Member State to contribute to achieving decarbonisation by 2050 through the identification of its own targets, presented through the National Energy and Climate Plans.
With the report on the State of the Energy Union 2020, the first since the launch of the Green Deal, the Commission has assessed the individual progress made by Member States. The report showed an overall positive situation, with all countries being able to meet their targets while most have already made good progress to date. "The energy sector plays a crucial role in reducing emissions and achieving the European Green Deal," said Frans Timmermans, Executive Vice-President responsible for the European Green Deal. The report presents the assessment of the five different dimensions of the Energy Union – decarbonisation (including renewables), energy efficiency, energy security, internal energy market, and finally, research, innovation and competitiveness. In support of individual country strategies, the NextGenerationEU recovery plan will play a key role in ensuring a range of funding programmes to support the implementation of the NECPs and stimulate economic recovery resulting from new energy reforms and investments.
The Commission estimates that 35 million inefficient buildings will have to be renovated by 2030 in order to achieve the 2050 climate neutrality target, and will, thus, require them to be less impactful in terms of CO2 emissions and more energy efficient.
Where energy consumption in Europe is concerned, buildings account for 40% and release 36% of EU greenhouse gas emissions. The Renovation Wave sets three priorities: tackling and identifying solutions to overcome poverty and energy inefficiency; the renovation and upgrading of public buildings, primarily schools, hospitals and public administrations; and the decarbonisation of building heating and cooling systems.
This will involve removing existing barriers to facilitate this process. Firstly, the rules, standards and information on the energy performance of buildings should be more accessible and transparent for both the public and private sectors. Secondly, access to targeted funding lines should be ensured through NextGenerationEU and other EU and private funds. Furthermore, fostering the development of new skills for the public and private sector is essential, to intervene in the market facilitating the transition to sustainable construction and promoting a bottom-up approach, based on neighbourhood and community awareness.
Finally, this process will not only be based on an economic and social efficiency ratio. The Commission has also announced the launch of a new European Bauhaus, a multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary project that will set a number of key principles, such as inclusiveness, aesthetics, innovation and a people-based approach as the foundations for the green transition. It is a new forum where there will be space for professionals (architects, artists, engineers and designers), students and civil society who will compare and exchange ideas and present projects focused on sustainability, art and culture. By 2022, the Commission intends to create a first network of five Bauhaus in different Member States.
Another key initiative outlined by the Commission is the strategy to reduce methane emissions, the second most important agent, after carbon dioxide, of climate change, which requires a multi-sectoral approach ranging from agriculture to energy and waste.
Following the impact assessment for 2030 on climate objectives, the EU executive concluded that, regarding the cut in emissions to 60%, a generalised and widespread effort will be needed throughout the Union, which currently contributes 5% of global methane emissions.
Where the energy sector is concerned, the strategy aims to monitor the fabric of gas infrastructure in order to improve the detection and repair of leaks, as well as measures to prohibit combustion and release into the atmosphere. Targeted interventions will also be required in the agricultural sector, starting with the introduction of innovative methane reduction technologies, animal diets and reproduction control. Legislation on landfill and landfill gas management will also be reviewed by 2024.
