With Spring around the corner, I am avidly searching for Spring staple items. However, I typically gravitate towards things that are very seasonal and trendy. If something is very trendy, like stars, bamboo bags, and fringe white espadrilles– it is hard to justify spending an arm and a leg for an item that will likely be not so trendy next year. For that reason, I am always on the hunt for the save vs. the splurge! I don't have to miss out on the fun trends, but I also don't have to spend my entire life savings either!
These few items are things that I have been loving for Spring, they are all super trendy and so cute! Don't break the bank, and save with me!

Frequency inverter includes main circuit, power circuit, IPM inverter and protection circuits, cooling fan and other several parts. The structure is mostly unitized or modular. Incorrect or unreasonable setting will cause the inverter malfunction and failure easily, or can't meet anticipated operation effect. As a precaution, careful analysis before the failure is particularly important.


We've updated our Community Leaders program with a brief questionnaire for any aspiring ComLeaders.
I'm paying to attend on behalf of a non-for profit.
Just to clarify what I mean is, I'm paying my own money to attend. As I'm passionate about this & it's a friend whom is running this conference. I'm so passionate about this is is actually very close to my wedding day.
If you sent even a few sticker packs / shirts etc of various sizes I could hand them out as a free PR from someone within DuckDuckGo even though I am a volunteer I have a fairly accurate understanding of what DuckDuckGo is about.
This conference relates also to (linux.conf.au) which is held yearly by the way. So you will definitely be reaching the right people to further promote DuckDuckGo Search.
Sorry for the delayed reply. @mentions don't currently generate a notification.
Feel free to reach out on that!

Q: how to display a folder in R I tried to display a folder using R script. I know commands like file.choose() and file.show() but I would like to run an R script to display the folder (a real folder, not the picture nor a screenshot of it). After display the folder, the script is done. I'd like to be able to choose to open any file in the folder but won't import anything into R.
file.show() will display a exactly file but I would like to display a folder. Maybe I can say what I am looking for is folder.show() or dictionary.show()??
file.choose() will import that file to R but I do not want to import anything into R
Any ideas?

Divisional Round - Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers
by R.K.
The Seattle Seahawks will head up to Green Bay to take on the Packers in an NFC Divisional Round Playoffs game. These two teams have a history of playing each other in the NFL Playoffs, and this should be another classic game. Seattle will have to regroup in a hurry after winning in the Wild Card round, and Green Bay should be well rested.
The Packers finished the season with a record of 13-3 to earn the number two seed. Green Bay won the NFC North this season, in what was the first season for new head coach Matt LaFleur. Seattle went on the road to Philadelphia in the Wild Card round and earned an impressive victory. The Seahawks finished the regular season with an 11-5 record to earn a Wild Card spot. The Green Bay Packers are -4.0 point favorites over the Seattle Seahawks in this game.
Seahawks Defense Must Be Great Again
If the Seattle Seahawks are going to advance to the NFC Championship Game then they are going to need their defense to be dominant. The Seahawks struggled at times during the regular season, but they allowed just nine points in their Wild Card Round win. Seattle will be aggressive on defense, and they should get pressure on Aaron Rodgers.
The Seahawks saw three running backs get injured during the season, and that has hurt their terrific running game. Veteran Marshawn Lynch will give the Seahawks some running at the goal line, but there will be a ton of pressure on Russell Wilson. Wilson threw for over 4,100 yards this season, and he knows how to lead this team.
Packers Need to Run the Ball
The Green Bay Packers will need to run the ball to win the time of possession battle in this game. Running back Aaron Jones had 16 rushing touchdowns in the regular season, and he will be a huge key in this game. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is still one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, and he will have a big game in this one.
Defense has actually been a strength for the Packers this season, which is a new thing for them. The Packers allowed less than 20 points per game this season, and they are led by a pair of linebackers with the name of Smith. Za'Darius Smith and Preston Smith combined for 26.5 sacks this season, and they will play a role in this one.
Green Bay Advances With Convincing Win
The weather is supposed to be nasty on Sunday, and that is exactly how the Green Bay Packers like it. The Packers have gone 7-1 at home so far this season, and they are always tough to beat at Lambeau Field. Seattle has proven to be a tough team to knock out of the playoffs, but they just don't have the offense to win this game. The Seahawks will keep it close for a half, but the Packers are going to cruise. Bet the Green Bay Packers -4.0 over the Seattle Seahawks in this game.

Top Ten Bargain Contracts in Baseball
American League, American League Central, American League East, American League West, Features, Headlines, Major League Baseball, National League, National League Central, National League East, National League West, Offseason
The bargain contract. These are the types of deals that general managers strive for and players and their agents try to avoid if possible. Also known as "team-friendly" contracts, these are the contracts that bring general managers the most praise and, more importantly, allow them to keep their jobs in the short and long term. While there are many players that either exceed expectations or disappoint greatly, the bargain contracts are viewed in higher esteem than those huge bust contracts.
What follows is a list of the ten biggest bargain contracts of 2015, using dollar value per WAR calculations, with some honorable mentions thrown in. For the purposes of this list, I will attempt to avoid players in pre-arbitration years, except for a few honorable mentions, simply because those players are expected to exceed their contract value given the small value of the contract to begin with.
On that note, and while you're still in Black Friday mode, let's get right into a discussion of the best bargain contracts in baseball.
Source: Mitchell Layton/Getty Images North America
Manny Machado may realistically be the biggest bargain of them all for 2015. Machado made a paltry $548,000 salary in 2015 because he was still pre-arbitration eligible. Despite this near minimum salary, Machado produced 6.8 WAR for the year in what was the best year of his young career. This makes him far and away the biggest contract bargain of 2015 with a dollar value of just over $80,000 per WAR.
This is obviously a hugely valuable season, and an absolute steal for the Orioles, but it will not remain cheap for long. Machado is entering his first year of arbitration eligibility and could be getting a long term contract extension from the Orioles sooner rather than later. This lessens his future bargain contract viability. (This space could also be reserved for A.J. Pollock who produced 6.6 WAR for the Arizona Diamondbacks at a similar near minimum one year pre-arbitration contract or Kris Bryant who produced similar numbers for the Chicago Cubs or really any other pre-arbitration player who had a fantastic season).
Average Dollar Value per WAR: $80,000 Per 1 WAR

Another player that cemented his place as one of the best players in all of baseball alongside Mike Trout in 2015, on his way to winning his first MVP, was Josh Donaldson. With an 8.7 WAR, MVP season, while only making $4.3 million, it appears fairly evident that Donaldson should be on this list. Despite this production, which averages out to just under $500,000 per every WAR, Donaldson has an uncertain contract for the following seasons, given the fact that he is due for a large arbitration raise, which makes the long term prospects of him being a bargain uncertain.
Average Dollar Value per WAR: $500,000 Per 1 WAR
Source: Bob Levey/Getty Images North America
Arguably Trout should be on this list given his monster production in 2015 at a relatively cheap overall price. Trout produced an even 9.0 WAR in 2015 while making only $5.2 million for the year. This averages out to just about $577,000 cost for every WAR which puts him in line with several other players on this list. Despite this, Trout's contract increases to $15.2 million in 2016, $19.2 million in 2017, and over $33 million a year for the following three seasons, making his long term contract less of a bargain than others on this list.

A most loving gift you can give to your family is completion of advance medical directives (living will) and designation of an individual to speak for you if you are unable to communicate in critical medical decisions (medical power of attorney).
On Saturday, April 16, at 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM at church, Bob Kottkamp will again host a NHDD workshop providing information, interactive video scenarios, discussion, and opportunity to complete advance medical directives specific to Vermont.
Advance directives eliminate shock and ambiguity thrust upon family in medical emergencies when critical decisions are required for a loved one without a clear statement of that person's desires. Advanced directives allow decisions ranging from "Prolong my life as long as possible.... to "Don't prolong my life if...." Easily cancelled and revised, they are your clear statement to family and the medical community of your desires. Come to learn, interact, deliberate, and make decisions about an issue not easy for many of us to deal with—yet very important. NHDD was developed by Nathan Kottkamp. Questions? See: www.nhdd.org.

The anti-ISIS coalition carried out 27 airstrikes against 76 Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) targets on Saturday, an official with the coalition said.
The targets included a factory where militants reportedly made car bombs in Tal Afar in addition to "large ISIL units near Kirkuk," Deputy Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS Brett McGurk said in a tweet.
Last 24 hrs in #Iraq & #Syria: 27 airstrikes against 76 #ISIL targets, incl. VBIED factory in Tal Afar & large ISIL units near #Kirkuk.
Earlier on Saturday, McGurk confirmed the death of Abu Maliki, a chemical weapons specialist with ISIS in Iraq who once worked for Saddam Hussein, in a coalition airstrike.
The air raid carried out last Saturday near Mosul took out Abu Malik, whose training "provided the terrorist group with expertise to pursue a chemical weapons capability," the military said in a statement, according to Agence France-Presse.
Malik had worked at a chemical weapons production plant under Saddam's regime and later forged an affiliation with Al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2005, before joining ISIS, according to Central Command.
"His death is expected to temporarily degrade and disrupt the terrorist network and diminish ISIL's ability to potentially produce and use chemical weapons against innocent people," it said using another acronym the group is known by.
U.S. officials had not publicly referred to Malik previously as a key figure.
There has been no sign that the IS group possesses a major chemical weapons arsenal. But there have been allegations the militants have employed chlorine gas, which is classified as a "choking agent," though not as lethal as nerve agents.
Abu Malik, also known as Salih Jasim Mohammed Falah al-Sabawi, had been "involved in operations to produce chemical weapons in 2005, and planned attacks in Mosul with AQI (Al-Qaeda in Iraq)," said a defense official.
"Based on his training and experience, he was judged to be capable of creating harmful and deadly chemical agents," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"We know ISIL is attempting to pursue a chemical weapons capability, but we have no definitive confirmation that ISIL currently possess chemical weapons," the official said.
The U.S.-led coalition has carried out more than 2,000 air raids against the IS group in Syria and Iraq since August 8, including some bombing runs that targeted senior militants.

Q: Insertar múltiples datos con valores definidos y de otra tabla Hola estoy un poco perdido para poder insertar múltiples datos con datos desde otra tabla
actualmente envió desde el front múltiples datos para insertar con la siguiente query
INSERT INTO order (nombre, sku, precio) VALUES (('PVC 12x12', '011', '650'), ('PVC 16x16', '012', '700'))

hasta allí todo bien inserto múltiples datos
pero necesito también almacenar en otras columnas de la table "order" varios valores que se encuentra en la tabla "products".
Mi tabla products contiene (ID, nombre, sku, precio, almacenado, puesto)
para mi tabla "order" necesito completar las columnas donde esta almacenado y el puesto donde esta el producto según el SKU por cada inserción.

A: Lo recomendable en tu caso sería almacenar únicamente el ID del producto, meter valores duplicados en una tabla no es una buena práctica a menos que sea estrictamente necesario. así que lo mejor que puedes hacer es lo que te digo.
Y cuando necesites los valores de la tabla productos basta con hacer un inner join entre order y products.

Water project helps restore once thriving ecosystems
Hao Nan and Liu Mingtai
Updated: Aug 14,2015 10:59 AM China Daily
Momoge is the largest wetland reserve in Northeast China's Jilin province and sits on the bird migration path in East Asia.[Photo/China Daily]
Animal lovers visiting the Momoge and Xianghai wetlands will not be disappointed this summer, as thousands of white cranes, swans, wild geese, ducks and other waterfowl are living and breeding in the nature reserves.
Momoge is the largest wetland reserve in Northeast China's Jilin province and sits on the bird migration path in East Asia.
Momoge Nature Reserve, in western Jilin, is now home to many bird species, such as the red-crowned crane.[Photo/China Daily]
Playing vital roles in local environment, climate and ecology, the two wetlands have been nicknamed the "kidneys of west Jilin".
A few years ago, however, they were on the verge of drying up.
"Baicheng, home of the two wetlands, experienced years of drought after the flood in 1998. Most of the 22 lakes and bogs in Xianghai dried up, and the wetland shrank by over 90 percent in area, reducing from 36,000 hectares to 3,000 hectares," said Zhang Bailiang, deputy director of the city's water resources bureau.
The Xianghai and Momoge wetlands have been nicknamed the "kidneys of west Jilin", because they play vital roles in the local environment, climate and ecology.[Photo/China Daily]
The Momoge wetland also shrank by about 70 percent and the number of its waterfowl species fell by half, Zhang added.
At the same time, Baicheng, which had more than 700 rivers, lakes and bogs, as well as 25 water reservoirs, mostly dried up.
The western part of Jilin used to be an important ecological barrier in the province, but now, because of drought, it has become one of the local areas with the most fragile ecosystems.
Zhang said annual runoff of the floods flowing past the city could reach 20 billion cubic meters, which was a considerable resource to help solve the problem.
Xianghai National Nature Reserve, an inland wetland and water ecosystem, is among the largest of China's seven major wetlands.[Photo/China Daily]
In June 2013, the provincial government decided to launch a water management project to connect rivers and lakes and major water conservancy works by building, reconstructing and expanding their channels and storing surplus flood resources and irrigation water in wetlands, rivers and lakes.
The project covers 10 cities and counties including Baicheng, Songyuan and Changchun.
Baicheng started several pilot programs in 2013, linking 45 bogs with rivers and lakes.
In April 2014, the project was listed as a national major water project during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20).
Four major constructions of the project are now almost finished and 14 pilot programs across the province have been started.
The project is expected to be complete in 2020, when the area of wetlands, rivers and lakes will recover to 5,300 square kilometers, more than 70 percent of the regional area in the 1950s.
Baicheng has channeled more than 600 million cubic meters of water to Xianghai and Momoge nature reserves and restored nearly 40,000 hectares of wetlands.
The Hadashan Water Control Project, said to be the largest and most ambitious water control project in the region in the past 50 years, aims to tackle the long-standing problem of water shortages in western parts of Jilin province.[Photo/China Daily]
Yin Gui, deputy head of the Momoge nature reserve management bureau, said the quality of a wetland depends on the number of waterfowl species.
The number of Momoge's waterfowl species increased by 50 percent compared to the 2013 figures, and the number of white cranes also increased to more than 3,800 from about 500 in 2000.
Some rare bird species, like oriental white storks and hooded cranes, have also returned to live in the Xianghai wetland.
Chagan Lake, a major tourism spot, attracts visitors from home and abroad.[Photo/China Daily]
Residents in Baicheng have also benefited from the project.
Cui Benjun, a villager in Tongyu county, feeds about 80,000 wild geese near the Xianghai wetland and said each wild goose can earn him a net profit of about 200 yuan ($31.60).
"The project guarantees the use of irrigation water, so although the drought still happened last year, the harvest was better than before," said Yu Hongxiang, a senior researcher at the Baicheng agricultural committee.
With the largest potential to increase grain output in Jilin, the western part of the province, under the help of the water project, is expected to become a new grain production center in China, according to the provincial government.

Rough sleepers denied access to healthcare, pushing them into 'repeat cycles of homelessness', study says
Homeless people are being denied access to basic healthcare, according to research which suggests "perceived stigma and discrimination" in health settings are pushing people with no fixed abode into "repeat cycles of homelessness" and causing "unnecessary deaths".
A study by researchers at the University of Birmingham found homeless people were being denied registration at GP surgeries and discharged from hospital onto the streets with no referral to primary care providers.
Mental health and substance misuse services were also deemed to be excluding those with the greatest need, with entry thresholds to these services said to "actively obstruct" patients who were self-harming, including those with recent suicide attempts.
The study, based on 22 interviews with homeless adults across four sites shelters, found that participants reported inequality in access in mainstream health services, with most facing negative experiences.
Most identified the absence of a "fixed abode" as the largest barrier to registering at a mainstream general practice where both proof of address and photo identification were often requested by the frontline staff.
People with mental health conditions and substance misuse said they had been told they were not able to receive support until they addressed their substance misuse issue, placing them in a "vicious cycle".

Health is everyone's business: Proposals to reduce ill health-related job loss
Deadline 7th October
This consultation seeks views on different ways in which government and employers can take action to reduce ill health-related job loss. Disabled people and people with long-term health conditions are at greater risk of falling out of work.
The proposals aim to support and encourage early action by employers for their employees with long-term health conditions, and improve access to quality, cost-effective occupational health.
The Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health and Social Care want to understand the effect of these proposals on:

Working parents facing holiday childcare bill of up to £800
Holiday childcare prices have risen by 3% in Britain since last summer, bringing the average parents now pay for one week of holiday childcare to £138 – more than double the price parents pay for after-school clubs during term time.
The Coram Family and Childcare's 15th annual Holiday Childcare Survey, the country's most comprehensive survey of holiday childcare costs, reveals that working parents will have to find £828 on average for six weeks of holiday childcare per child. This means families have to find an extra £484 to cover the summer holidays compared to term time childcare.
This can be a huge financial pressure for low income families who rely on Universal Credit to help with their childcare costs, as this support is paid in arrears meaning they have to find the money to cover these higher costs up front, pushing many into debt.
Parents also face a 'postcode lottery' with huge variation in the costs of holiday childcare across the country. Holiday childcare costs are highest in the South East, at an average of £162 per week per child, 37% higher than the North West, where childcare costs are lowest, at £119 per week. There are large differences even between neighbouring regions – for example holiday childcare costs are 21% higher in the North East (£144) compared to the North West (£119).
In addition to rising costs, the survey also highlights the substantial gaps in the availability of holiday childcare, as only one in three (31%) local authorities in England reports having enough holiday childcare for all parents in their area who work full time. This gap is even bigger for parents of children with disabilities, with less than a fifth (17%) of local authorities able to provide enough holiday childcare to meet their needs.
Coram Family and Childcare is calling for urgent Government reform on school age childcare to address the acute shortages and improve existing support for families. The Government introduced a 'right to request' policy in 2016 which allows parents to request that their child's school provides childcare or opens up their facilities for another provider to do so. However, today's research reveals that just 4% of local authorities say this policy has had a positive effect on the availability of holiday childcare – a figure that remains unchanged since last summer.

Domestic Abuse Bill introduced to Parliament
The government's Domestic Abuse Bill was introduced in Parliament on 16th July, signalling a major step forward in transforming the response to this crime.
The Bill is the most comprehensive package ever presented to Parliament to tackle domestic abuse, both supporting victims and bringing perpetrators to justice.
Following extensive work with stakeholders and charities, the government carried out a public consultation on measures to be included in the Bill that saw more than 3,200 responses.
A draft of the Bill was published in January and has undergone extensive scrutiny by a Joint Committee of cross party MPs and Peers as part of the government's collaborative approach to ensure this historic legislation is correct. The Committee published a report on the draft bill in June and made a set of recommendations which the government has considered carefully.
Measures in the Bill include:
introducing the first ever statutory government definition of domestic abuse, which will include economic abuse
establishing a Domestic Abuse Commissioner to champion victims and survivors
introducing new Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Domestic Abuse Protection Orders to further protect victims and place restrictions on the actions of offenders
prohibiting the cross-examination of victims by their abusers in the family courts
providing automatic eligibility for special measures to support more victims to give evidence in the criminal courts

Children to have greater opportunity to access 60 minutes of physical activity every day
Children will have a greater opportunity to access 60 minutes of daily sport and physical activity, whether that be in school, after school or during weekends and holidays, under new Government plans recently revealed
The School Sport and Activity Action Plan, outlined by Education Secretary Damian Hinds, Sport Minister Mims Davies and Minister for Public Health, Seema Kennedy, will set out a range of new measures to strengthen the role of sport within a young person's daily routine, explain how teachers and parents can play their part, and promote a joined-up approach to physical activity and mental wellbeing.
It comes after the latest data from Sport England's Active Lives Children and Young People survey showed that a third of children are currently doing fewer than 30 minutes of physical activity a day.
Ofsted's new Inspection Framework comes into effect from September 2019. As Amanda Spielman, HM Chief Inspector of Education, said last weekend: "Schools that offer children a broad, balanced education, including plenty of opportunities to get active during the school day and through extracurricular activities, will be rewarded under our new inspection regime."
As part of the plan, the Government has committed to launch a series of regional pilots to trial innovative approaches to getting more young people active, particularly less active groups such as girls and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Schools and sports clubs will also work together to share their facilities and expertise, giving more pupils access to character-building competitive sport and volunteering opportunities. They will focus on ensuring boys and girls have an equal and coordinated offer of sport, competition and activity, including modern PE lessons and access to high-quality clubs and competitions after school and during weekends and holidays.
Criminal record reform to help ex-offenders into work
Ex-offenders striving to turn their lives around through work will be backed by new legislation changing what they must disclose to employers.
For the first time, some sentences of over four years will no longer have to be disclosed to employers after a specified period of time has passed. This change will not apply where offences attract the most serious sentences, including life, or for serious sexual, violent and terrorism offences.
Regular work is a major factor in breaking the cycle of crime but many ex-offenders find it impossible to get a job, with just 17% in employment a year after release from prison, and as half of employers would not consider hiring an ex-offender.
In addition to the rule change for longer sentences over four years, the period of time for which shorter sentences and community sentences have to be revealed to employers will be scaled back. The exact length of these 'rehabilitation periods' will be determined following discussions with stakeholders.
New public health duty to tackle serious violence
A new 'public health duty' will cover the police, local councils, local health bodies such as NHS Trusts, education representatives and youth offending services. It will ensure that relevant services work together to share data, intelligence and knowledge to understand and address the root causes of serious violence including knife crime. It will also allow them to target their interventions to prevent and stop violence altogether.
In addition, the government will amend the Crime and Disorder Act to ensure that serious violence is an explicit priority for Community Safety Partnerships, which include local police, fire and probation services, by making sure they have a strategy in place to tackle violent crime.
This new public health duty has been created taking into account responses from professionals in health, education, police, social services, housing and the voluntary sector after an eight-week public consultation.
The new duty will hold organisations to account as opposed to individual teachers, nurses or other frontline professionals.
It does not mean burdening them with police work, but is designed to build on existing responsibilities and local arrangements to protect young people by ensuring they work together.
New guidance will also be published in due course to support the legislation, which will provide examples of different partnership models and explain how different organisations and sectors can partner with each other.

Destitution on the rise, say frontline family support workers
Applications for Buttle UK's Chances for Children grants come from a unique network of frontline support workers who are interacting with the most vulnerable children and young people across the UK on a daily basis.
These individuals include family support workers, community project workers, social workers, health visitors, school careers advisors, probation officers, advocacy/advisors, youth workers, community nurses, tutors and head teachers. They work for organisations such as local authorities / councils, charities, housing associations, advice services, local healthcare trust partnerships, primary and secondary schools and children's centres.
Buttle UK surveyed support workers to find out about their current experiences of working with children in poverty. While all these individuals are used to seeing child poverty on a daily basis, their feedback illustrates the extent of some of the challenges that families are currently facing.
They had over 1,200 responses, making this an extremely comprehensive survey.
Results have highlighted just how often children are having to survive without the basics:
60% of support workers are often (i.e. more than once a week) seeing families who are unable to afford the basics (food, household items, fuel).
50% of support workers are often seeing children fed breakfast and/or dinner at school because families cannot afford to feed them themselves.
48% of support workers are seeing families unable to afford the costs of children's clothes and shoes.
Particular concerns with the summer holidays coming up are:
65% are seeing families unable to afford / have no access to holiday activities.
53% are seeing families unable to afford food and childcare during the holidays.
Support workers report that 54% of families being supported are living in destitution, and nearly three quarters of these support workers (74%) have seen an increase in the number in the last year.
49% of support workers see families who are working but are not earning enough to make ends meetmore than once a week, and 21% of workers see this problem on a daily basis.
18% of support workers have seen an increase in the number of families needing financial support when at least two people in the household are working, and 39% have seen an increase where one person in the family is working.
Nearly 100% said they saw families experience issues of rising debt, delays due to Universal Credit and cuts to welfare services to some extent, but 30% reported they see families experiencing all of these problems on a daily basis.

Government to launch new modern slavery research centre
Efforts to uncover the true scale of modern slavery, expose more trafficking networks and better inform our action to stamp out these crimes have been boosted today following the government's investment of £10 million to create a cutting-edge Policy and Evidence Centre for Modern Slavery and Human Rights.
The new research centre, funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Strategic Priorities Fund and led by UKRI's Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), will bring together academics, businesses and charities to drive forward new studies, share knowledge, and improve collaboration both at home and overseas, to further strengthen our response.
The announcement comes as the government publishes its response to the Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act and launches a consultation on strengthening and improving transparency in supply chains legislation.
The independent review, which was published on 22 May, praised the "ground-breaking" Modern Slavery Act and made a number of recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of the act.
It's not right that four million disabled people are locked in poverty
From the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF)
The scale of poverty among disabled people and their families is undermining our society's shared values of compassion and justice, says Helen Barnard in her blog:
In our country we believe in taking care of one another and protecting each other from harm – so it's simply unacceptable that 3.8 million disabled adults and 300,000 disabled children are trapped in poverty; and that over 3 in 10 disabled people live in poverty compared to only 2 in 10 non-disabled people.
Disabled people are held back from a decent living standard by many different constraints:
They are less likely to have a job, despite many being keen to work. The difference in employment rates among disabled and non-disabled people has narrowed slightly in the last few years – but it is still very large; only around half of disabled people are in work, compared with over 8 in 10 non-disabled people.
Work can't be relied on to deliver a good living standard. Disabled people are less likely to have higher qualifications and they are more likely to be low paid, even when they do have good qualifications.
Finding and sustaining work that can be fitted around fluctuating health conditions or medical appointments can be very challenging.
Many disabled people also face higher costs, for equipment or appliances, heating bills, travel and many other parts of life. The benefits intended to help with these additional costs often don't fully cover them, leaving people facing higher deprivation than non-disabled people with a similar income.
Research from the Social Metrics Commission shows that nearly half of all people locked in poverty in the UK are disabled themselves or live with someone who is. It also shows that disabled people are disproportionately likely to be stuck in persistent poverty – trapped for years with few opportunities to escape.

Happy Wednesday out there! Whew, I've had a busy weekend/week so far and I'm sooo ready for Friday to get here. Over the weekend I went shopping in Nashville with my mom and aunt. It was Tennessee's tax-free weekend, so I got some awesome deals!
But first, I have to give thanks to Sanuk flip-flops. They saved me on this shopping trip. No aching feet or back after a full day of shopping. Yes!
We went to TJ Maxx/HomeGoods. My favorite!! I got the Cynthia Rowley coral pajama top and leopard pajama bottoms from there, and the glass bottles that I plan to put kombucha in. Those pjs are seriously the softest ever. Both pieces were on clearance too. SCORE! All of the glass bottles combined were $10. Pretty cheap for such nice glass bottles. I also grabbed a small jar of Artisana Coconut Butter there. I love this stuff and it's cheaper there than what you can find at health food stores.
Next we went to Opry Mills mall. It was like Black Friday there - the crowds were insane. I found my deal of the day here though, at the Under Armour outlet store. I got the purple UA capris and charcoal gray UA workout tank for less than $20 total! I just love UA workout gear, and when I can find them on sale, it always brightens my day. I also grabbed a pair of Fossil sunglasses from the Fossil outlet store that were on major discount.
I also picked up a sample of MoroccanOil shampoo and conditioner. I've heard so many good things about this brand, so I decided to give it a try. Have you tried this? Do you love it/hate it?
For the month of August, I'm co-hosting the Wake Up Wednesday Linky with 33 other lovely bloggers. Check it out below and add your link!
You did score some goodies! We took advantage of the tax free shopping too, we got a few new workout clothing items :) I have tried that shampoo & conditioner, I really liked it. It smells great and made my hair very shiny!
I love everything about this -- Nashville, shopping, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, tax-free weekend... Amazing!
Love the underarmor finds!! And I could spend hours in TJ Maxx/HomeGoods. I had no idea there were such things as tax-free weekends. Sounds like a deal though!

Newspoll: 55-45
Mumble reports Newspoll has Labor's lead dropping from 59-41 to 55-45, with primary votes of 44 per cent for Labor, 39 per cent for Coalition, 10 per cent for Greens and 7 per cent others. More to follow.
Meanwhile, Alexander Downer confirms he will quit parliament to take up a job as United Nations special envoy to Cyprus. Mayo by-election to follow.
UPDATE (2/7/07): Today's Australian provides further figures on standard of living expectations, which have plunged shockingly – "get worse" being up from 18 per cent to 43 per cent since December. While I'm here, a belated link to yesterday's graphic.
UPDATE (3/7/07): Newspoll has released its quarterly aggregated poll which provides breakdowns by state, gender and age. It suggests the Rudd honeymoon effect has been especially strong in South Australia and in metropolitan areas, is fading quickest in Victoria, and did not further increase support for Labor in the 18-34 age group. Two of these four are consistent with the result of the Gippsland by-election.

Sorry for the delay in my posts.
Gary #597, Which countries have an emissions trading scheme.
Gary #598, If I were Chinese I would be praying for democracy and hand up from poverty. I would also be more inclined to examine the science behind global warming since the world's temp hasn't increased since 1998.
Dario, I do not believe in AGW.
Fulvio all good proverbs.
The issue with Global Warming is that when you have irrefutable proof it is too late. Final verification is the actual seeing of the thing happen One can argue until doomsday about whether the final "t" is crossed and whether glorious democracy has been respected and whether everyone has had heir say. Yet democracy would mean nothing in such a dead world.
In life there are many things we do without the very final proof – there is such a thing as conviction. With the really big things it is usually the same.
Taking the debate beyond a certain point is just another strategy of blocking any attempt to either stop the effects of GW or at least mitigating it.

J of M, I have just read that Colless piece and I clearly, confidently and strongly disagree with every point made.
Look, I think those News Journos are quite dillusional. Maybe be they should all get together, lock themselves up in a room and bang each other until they come to their senses and accept the fact that we had a change in government on 24/11/07.

The report claims to prove an anti amalgamation vote too but the point seems to hang very much on the profile of former Noosa Mayor Bob Abbott and the LGAQ contention seems weak.

Geez John, even your hero, Rupert Murdoch, has got it "wrong" in regard to CC.

Poor Liberals have been wedged big time, and they have a very small set on their side of the wedge.
Follow the Preferences says:
Does anyone have any idea what Brendan is doing with his rantings about the 'Children in art' debate. Who was the Guru who told him that he needs to sound strong and definite all the time, he sounds increasingly like a whinger. The news last night absolutely skinned him. There was the 11 years old saying that it was her favourite photo and then Brendan going bolistic sounding very strong but coming across as wierd.
For a moment I thought that the Libs were doing OK but they are just a complete joke. They only have one stick in the golf bag.
Progressive says:
Brenda is in danger of outwedging himself, this short term politics only works for so long! The only thing he's had going for him lately is petrol prices, and the assistance of the media, which is still largely pro Liberal Party.
While Brenda and the Liberals fiddle whole sections of australian business are sifting through the report from various perspectives including legal preparing for implementation of the ETS.

Chris Curtis says:
Re The Australian and its never-ending series of anti-Labor pieces, I sent the following letter today:
'The way in which Liberal supporters are reacting to the election of Kevin Rudd in the pages of The Australian has instructive parallels with their reaction to the election of Steve Bracks in 1999. Following that election, letters predicting gloom and doom filled the press. Meanwhile, the Victorian Labor Government just got on with implementing its policies, the ones it supposedly did not have: more police, more nurses, more doctors, more teachers, smaller classes, massive capital investment in schools, the Victorian Institute of Teaching (since copied in NSW and WA), reform of the Legislative Council, constitutional protection of the auditor-general, etc. Amazingly, the Liberals countered with the claim that Labor didn't actually do anything, while the voters saw the results every day. The Liberals descended into chaotic irrelevance, and the Victorian people re-elected Labor in two historic landslides. Kevin Rudd will win the next election with an increased majority.
'Yours sincerely,
Chris Curtis

A Labor governmnt using Work Choices to crush a union strike:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/worldyouyouthday/rail-strike-order-sought/2008/07/08/1215282785711.html
So which is it James, Labor is being run by the unions or they are not and which do you prefer?
Excellent letter Chris.
Diogenes says:
It's increasingly looking like Labor won't contest Mayo. The Libs are goading them to do so. The most interesting thing looks like the fairly bitter Lib preselection battle, with the rising star 31 yo Rodent staffer being the favourite. He was a big fan of Serfchoices which is now hanging around his neck like a millstone, a fact that his competitors are leaking to the press endlessly in SA.
OPPOSITION Leader Brendan Nelson has lashed out at the Labor Party for considering not running a candidate at the Mayo by-election.
The ALP is yet to decide formally whether to run a candidate, citing cost, but party figures are also worried about the potential to lose votes after last month's poor result in the Gippsland by-election.

Here's the one you've been waiting to see JoM. Next stop will be Bolta's blog.
THE science tells us that continued high levels of carbon pollution have led to global warming and if the world continues on a business-as-usual trajectory the consequences for us all will be significant. The economics tells us that the cost of responsible action is much less than if we as a planet fail to act on climate change now. The longer we delay, the higher the cost.
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,23984420-7583,00.html
Thanks Steve. Of course Rudd agrees with Garnaut he commisioned the report.
Now that the coalition no longer controls the Senate how far will the ETS go since the Greens, Xenephon and Fielding hold the balance of power?
Right through to implementation, JoM.
Thanks, Gary. My publication rate is about 5 per cent, so I'm not even crossing my fingers, given I actually had one in last week.
Jovial Monk says:
Steve, Fielding wants a 10c cut in petrol tax
Doesn't seem likely he will let the ETS through with transport included, unless some of the tax cuts can be used in place of that cut?
Tuesday, July 8, 2008 at 1:02 pm
JM, thirty pieces of silver is all it takes to change the situation.
Think it might take more.
he has stopped sending me his newsletter: everytime he sent me one I just pointed out global warming, peak oil etc.
Now that I know you are a CC denier John I guess any action on this front, taken by anyone, is a waste of time and effort in your opinion.
I like how you "write off" Murdoch as a liar and opportunist. He couldn't be sincere and a believer could he? How could anyone believe such crap sprouted by a majority of scientists. They're all opportunists and liars aren't they John? They have so much to gain by making all of this up.
Unfortunately cabinet confidentially prevents us knowing whether Mr Nelson and Mr Downer made similar remarks when the Howard government wimped six out of six by-elections in Labor held seats during 11 years of government. Seven out of seven if you include the Newcastle supplementary election.
Some nice Mayo graphs up at http://www.abc.net.au/elections
That's quite amazing. Six out of six no-shows if they were going to lose. I'm not sure what the rationale for running a candidate in a Federal election but not in a by-election is.
There is one candidate who would probably win in Mayo if she ran, either as Labor, Democrat or Independent and that's NSD. They love her in the Hills. She's probably too busy helping hubby and Dolly set up Bespoke Solutions or whatever it's called.

Davidson Films, Inc. is a family run educational film company led by Jean Davidson and Trent Johnson.
Davidson Films was started in San Francisco by Jack Davidson, father of Jean Davidson, in 1955. At the time, he was a news cameraman for CBS. Jack ran the company until 1975 when, at age 45, he entered medical school, eventually becoming a community psychiatrist. During most of his tenure as president, the company made math and science films for K-8 classes, many of which are still in use.
Fran Davidson ran the company for 35 years, building up a collection of psychology and education films from the legacy of the Piaget films Jack had made before his career change. During her years with the company, great changes have taken place in the means of production and distribution from 16mm through various modes of videotape to now high definition video on DVDs.
From its very first days fifty eight years ago, Davidson Films has been blessed with a talented and loyal staff. Elaine Taunt has run the business end of things for over a decade, providing our customers with efficient, yet personalized customer service. Over the years, she has been assisted by a set of student workers, all of whom have gone on to prestigious careers.
We think the company's longevity comes from its commitment to excellence in all aspects of its operations. Much thought and work goes into the production of our films, from the choice of renown consultants, to the careful crafting of scripts, to the arduous capture of relevant live action scenes, to the artful editing of hours of raw footage. We depend on the skill of our skilled camera operator, Greg Monroe, to provide the well-shot visuals that support the academic content of our scripts. Lin Mercer has served as our editor for eighteen years, and she also creates the graphics which both clarify and enliven our productions. All of this work is made worth-while when we get positive feedback from you, our customers, that the films enhance your courses in introducing students to challenging material in engaging ways.
Fran and Jack Davidson
TWENTY years ago, kids in preschool, kindergarten and even first and second grade spent much of their time playing: building with blocks, drawing or creating imaginary worlds, in their own...

Vilnius to Freiburg	MIN-ADMIN	2016-08-12T18:07:06+00:00
Viktoras with fellow art students in Freiburg
Boarded in Vilnius for early schooling.
1939, Vilnius was finally returned to Lithuania
Graduated from the Vytautas Didysis Secondary School in 1940
Entered the Vilnius Art Academy in 1941
Fled the advance of the Soviet Army in 1944 to Vienna then to Munich to study at the Art Academy of Munich
Moved to Freiburg in 1947 to the L'École des Arts et Métiers studying under Teleforas Valius
From Vilnius to Freiburg
When the Poles had claimed Vilnius as their own, expelled most of the citizens, imported Russians and Poles to fill the emptied homes, Viktoras was young enough to avoid the restrictions imposed on the adults and could cross over the demarcation zone to visit his grandparents in free-Lithuania where he was kept schooled with the love of his country and its traditions and language.
Back in occupied Lithuania, things were very different: schools were forced into ignoring the heritage and were taught either in Russian or Polish.
When Viktoras finally graduated from High School, he entered the Vilnius Academy of Art to study painting. During this time he found work in a printery in Vilnius where he took on basic assistant chores. Unknowingly, these working years infused a passion that would not realise itself for many years to come, self-publishing before the advent of computers.
When the War took hold, many fled the country from the advance of the expected horrors to come and Viktoras sought refuge in the heart of Germany itself, at the Munich Arts Academy in 1944. Two years later, he found himself safely studying in the town of Freiburg (Free City) where some enterprising Lithuanian Artists began (with the help of the French) to set up an art college for expatriate Lithuanian artists, the short-lived but wonderful L'École des Artes et Metiers.
Viktoras enrolled in painting but soon found himself drawn towards the world of Graphic Design:
"I felt that graphics was dearer to me – in it is a much more organised, it has more definition of line, there is no spontaneous weakening of colour. Even now I highly regard great painting, I admire it, and for that reason, I keep colour to a minimal in my own work."
"In those times, no-one in Lithuania had talked of applied graphics as an alternate art style, it even had no knowledge of its commercial aspects."
Portrait of the Artist as a young man
Artists and friends, Eva Kubbos
Student days were always not too far from the war, but relatively safe from the front
L'École des Arts et Métiers: Freiburg
The École des Arts et Métiers was founded and directed in post-World War II Germany by Vytautas K. Jonynas in Freiburg, under the French flag, in the French Zone of West Germany. The professors were established Lithuanian masters, such as Viktoras Vizgirda, Algirdas Krivickas, Adomas Galdikas, Adolfas Valeška and others, all of them refugees from Lithuania who found themselves in Displaced Persons camps in war-torn Germany. In this school, an entire new generation of Lithuanian artists was born.
The students of L'École des Arts et Métiers
More information about this unique school that lasted only five years, from 1946 to 1950, can be found in an art catalogue compiled by Victoria Kašuba– Matranga and published in the 1980s.
The ARts School was formed by Teleforius Valius and Vytautas Jonynas with the support of professors Viktoras Vizgirda, Algirdas Krivickas, Adomas Galdikas, Adolfas Valeška, Antanas Tamošaitis and others
The Freiburg Show - 1949
In March of 1949, the Lithuanian Institute of Arts, of which Vaclovas Ratas was a member, organized the last large retrospective Lithuanian Art Exhibition in Augustiner Museum, Freiburg. The graphic section was extremely strong. Apart from the four members of FORMA, the museum exhibited works by Professor Vytautas Jonynas, Adolfas Vaičaitis and Viktoras Simankevicius.
Arrival in Melbourne
On 31 May 1949 he reaches Melbourne Australia in the Skaugum with friends Henry Salkauskas and Pranas Repsys
129 students were part of the Freiburg group
Although the school only lasted for five years, many of the students went on throughout the world leaving their expressive marks in each of the countries they settled in: in France, Zibuntas Miksys, in the USA: Vytautas Jonynas (co-founder EAM – 1907-1997), Elena Urbaitytė-Urbaitis (1922-2006), Albinas Elskus (1926-2007), Sandra Laucevičiūtė-Čipkuvienė (1922–2009), Vytautas Ignas (1924-2009), Juozas Mieliulis (1919-2009), Vitolis Dragunevičius (1927-2009), Janina Monkutė-Marks (1923-2010) and Ramojus Mozoliauskas (1925-2010) amongst others,Antanas Mončys, Vytautas Raulinaits, Balys Grebliūnas, Juozas Pivoriūnas, Ramojus Mozoliauskas, and Vladas Petryla, Viktoras Vizgirda.
To Australia, Viktoras settled in Melbourne with Teisutis Zikaras (EAM teacher) and Adolfas Vaicaitis, whilst Eva Kubbos, Vaclovas Ratas, Henry Šalkauskas and Leonas Urbonas settled in Sydney.
The Freiburg years introduced a new exposure to European modern imagery
With the traditional Lithuanian folkloric arts being resurrected in a modern bathing of light, mixing in with German expressionism and new waves of modern art, the Freiburg group managed to keep alive a whole generation of Lithuanian artistic thought.

Acacia Pharma Announces Significant Continued Progress with Formulary Uptake of BARHEMSYS® and BYFAVO™ in the US
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014.
Cambridge, UK and Indianapolis, US – 1 July 2021: Acacia Pharma Group plc ("Acacia Pharma", the "Group" or the "Company") (EURONEXT: ACPH), a hospital pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of new products aimed at improving the care of patients undergoing significant treatments such as surgery, other invasive procedures or cancer chemotherapy, announces that its FDA-approved products BARHEMSYS® and BYFAVO™ are on track to meet its full year 2021 formulary acceptance goals.
As of 30 June 2021:
BARHEMSYS is now on formulary at 201 institutions, against an FY2021 expectation of 300; this represents an increase of more than 80 accounts since March 2021. To date, the formulary success rate for BARHEMSYS continues to track in the mid-80% range, exceeding original expectations.
BYFAVO is now on formulary in 47 accounts, against an FY2021 expectation of 150; this represents an increase of 40 accounts since March 2021. To date, the formulary success rate for BYFAVO continues to track at or above that for BARHEMSYS, also exceeding original expectations
Newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer Deb Hussain commented: "My excitement in joining Acacia Pharma was based on our ability to improve the lives of patients through the successful commercialization of BARHEMSYS and BYFAVO, and our early US launch efforts are delivering positive results. The rate of formulary adoption we are achieving against the backdrop of restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic is quite impressive, suggesting the significant unmet needs patients and hospitals have in this space. We will continue our commercial efforts in additional targeted accounts and are very confident of further formulary wins across the balance of the year."
Commenting on progress, Mike Bolinder, Chief Executive Officer, added: "We are extremely encouraged with the acceptance of our products, including at some of the largest institutions and networks in the country. This is particularly noteworthy given the current hospital environment that has yet to normalize from the pandemic, resulting in significantly reduced physical access to accounts and continued delays in formulary committee reviews. We know that formulary adoption is the key first step in achieving consistent and growing sales pull through starting in 2022, which will allow us to build a long term, sustainable hospital products franchise, thereby creating significant value for our shareholders."
Regarding the unmet need that BARHEMSYS addresses in PONV, Dr. Richard Dutton, Chief Quality Officer of US Anesthesia Partners and anesthesiologist at Baylor Scott & White Health, the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in Texas and one of the largest in the United States, noted: "BARHEMSYS provides an important option for treating PONV in our patients who have failed our usual prophylactic antiemetics – a major unmet need – and we are very pleased to have it available on formulary across our network of hospitals."
Regarding the utility of BYFAVO in practice, Dr. Talmage Egan, Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Utah, commented: "We are pleased to have added remimazolam to our formulary and we are excited to explore how it may positively impact our sedation practice. As a 'soft' benzodiazepine, intentionally designed for more rapid metabolism and shorter duration of effect, it may help us improve efficiencies in our procedural suites such as gastrointestinal endoscopy treatment rooms."
About BARHEMSYS® (amisulpride injection)
BARHEMSYS was approved in February 2020 in the US with a broad label for the treatment and prevention of postoperative nausea & vomiting (PONV). It is the first and only antiemetic approved for the rescue treatment of PONV in patients who have failed prior prophylaxis. Approximately 16m surgical patients each year in the US suffer from PONV despite receiving prophylaxis1 with an estimated $2.7 billion annual total addressable market2.
About BYFAVO™ (remimazolam injection)
US commercial rights to BYFAVO were in-licensed from Cosmo Pharmaceuticals NV ("Cosmo") in January 2020 and it was approved in July 2020 for the induction and maintenance of procedural sedation in adults undergoing procedures lasting 30 minutes or less which make up around 40m procedures a year in the US, including 25m gastro-intestinal procedures3 for an estimated >$1.5 billion annual total addressable market4.

Understanding how protein domains and subunits operate is critical for engineering novel functions into proteins. Arslan et al. introduced intramolecular crosslinks between two domains of the Escherichia coli helicase Rep, which unwinds DNA. By inserting linkers of different lengths, the domains can be held either "open" or "closed." The closed conformation activates the helicase, but it can also generate super-helicases capable of unzipping long stretches of DNA at high speed and with considerable force. Comstock et al. used optical tweezers and fluorescence microscopy to simultaneously measure the structure and function of the bacterial helicase UvrD. They monitored its DNA winding and unwinding activity and its shape during these activities. The motor domain also has a "closed" conformation during DNA unwinding and switches to a reversed "open" conformation during the zipping-up interaction.
The relationship between protein three-dimensional structure and function is essential for mechanism determination. Unfortunately, most techniques do not provide a direct measurement of this relationship. Structural data are typically limited to static pictures, and function must be inferred. Conversely, functional assays usually provide little information on structural conformation. We developed a single-molecule technique combining optical tweezers and fluorescence microscopy that allows for both measurements simultaneously. Here we present measurements of UvrD, a DNA repair helicase, that directly and unambiguously reveal the connection between its structure and function. Our data reveal that UvrD exhibits two distinct types of unwinding activity regulated by its stoichiometry. Furthermore, two UvrD conformational states, termed "closed" and "open," correlate with movement toward or away from the DNA fork.
Both structure and function can be studied at the same time while an enzyme unzips DNA.


BEAUTIFUL SANTA CLAUS w/LANTERN HAND CARVED & HAND PAINTED WOODEN STATUE #3414 - Gr8 Russian Stuff!
Click the button below to add the BEAUTIFUL SANTA CLAUS w/LANTERN HAND CARVED & HAND PAINTED WOODEN STATUE #3414 to your wish list.
This beautiful Russian Santa Claus is hand carved and hand painted by the artist. Santa's cloak is painted in reds, whites and golds with white snowflakes and accents. Santa is holding a lantern which is painted gold and is highlighted with glitter causing it to reflect the light as if it is lit up! Santa is holding a bag decorated with gold swirls and white dots. This Santa is lacquered so it is easily cleaned and protected. The solid linden wood is dried for almost 2 years before it is carved so it will last a lifetime. Linden wood was once used to make drafting boards because it is so stable once properly dried. It does not warp, change shape, or crack and this artistic piece will bring enjoyment for a lifetime! (Please Note: These are not mass produced molded resin from China. All Russian Santas are one of a kind, unique, and hand carved from Linden Wood so no two Santas are ever identical.) This Grandfather Frost, as he is called in Russia, is made in Sergei Posad, Russia and is signed by the artist. This nicely sized Santa measures just over 6.75 inches tall by 3.5 inches wide.
