At the second annual Branwen Smith-King Invitational hosted at the Gantcher Center last Friday and Saturday, Tufts athletes captured first-place finishes in four events. The Jumbos finished second out of 19 teams on Saturday and third out of 13 teams on Friday. Earlier in the day, the team also sent four runners to Boston University's John Thomas Terrier Classic to compete in the 4 x 400-meter relay.
On Saturday in the Gantcher Center, the Jumbos scored 130 points, good for second place out of a field of 19 other teams: Amherst, Brandeis, Bridgewater State, Colby-Sawyer, Conn. College, Emmanuel, Keene State, Merrimack, MIT, Plymouth State, Regis, Smith, Stonehill, UMass Boston, Wellesley, Wentworth, Wesleyan, Wheaton, WPI and Worcester State. Stonehill won the meet with 157 points.
The most impressive result of the action-packed day was junior Rhemi Toth's first-place finish in the mile with a personal record of 5:02.47 — currently the ninth best time in the country once the time is converted to a banked track time. Senior and co-captain Kelsey Tierney also ran a personal best of 5:12.23, earning her third place in the mile race. Toth commented on her nationally ranked performance.
"It was just all the training that I put in in the fall and leading up to this," Toth said. "Ideally by the end of the season I want to break [five minutes]. That's probably one of my main goals and I also want to run as the mile leg on the distance medley relay that we might send to nationals."
In the 600-meter run, first-year Tara Lowensohn came in second place at 1:41.00, setting a personal record. First-year Luana Machado won the event with a time of 1:38.77 in her first time competing in the event in collegiate competition.
"I had two main goals. The first one was just to qualify for [the New England Div. III Championships], and then the second one was to break 1:40," Machado said. "I thought I could do it, but at the same time I was doubting it. But I did, and I felt really good afterwards."
Other first-place finishes include junior Lauren Diaz, who won the 1,000 meters in 3:03.97, and senior Natalie Bettez — a cross country runner who has not raced in a track and field meet since December 2017 — who won the 3,000 meters with a personal record of 10:29.83.
The pentathlon, which was held on Friday, also featured three Tufts athletes in the top five. Senior Kylene DeSmith came in third and set a personal record with 2,975 points, and sophomore Hannah Norowitz came in fourth, setting a personal record of 2,726 points in the process. Sophomore Scarlet Bliss came in fifth with 2,723 points in her first collegiate pentathlon.
"Those three girls crushed it and they were awesome," coach Kristen Morwick said. "They all PR'd [and] they all qualified for New Englands, so that was really impressive."
Tufts also had noteworthy performances in several other events. In the 800-meter run, junior Julia Gake (2:23.77), senior Julia Noble (2:26.80) and sophomore Emily Murray (2:26.92) placed third, fourth and fifth, respectively. Senior Caitlin Porrazzo set a personal record in the 3,000-meter run in fourth place with her 10:39.66 finish. The 4 x 200 meter relay team of junior Raquel Whiting, junior Franny Kiles, sophomore Kristen Andersen and sophomore Olivia Schwern finished in second place at 1:50.13, and the 4 x 800-meter relay team of Murray, junior Lydia Heely, sophomore Alexandra Wolf and Tierney also finished in second place at 10:01.71. Senior and co-captain Evelyn Drake put up another strong performance in the weight throw at 48′ 4″ (14.73 meters).
"We didn't have everyone competing in their top events, but we had a lot of individual winners," Morwick said. "Overall, [it was a] pretty solid meet. It was kind of a gong-show in here — it was like 21 teams and it was just overwhelming. But, all things considered, we had some nice performances."
Earlier on Friday, Lowensohn, Gake, Machado and first-year Hannah Neilon raced the 4 x 400 meters relay at Boston University. Their time of 3:59.82 was 3.05 seconds short of their season best from the Bowdoin Invitational, but it was the best finish in the event by a Division III team at the meet.
"We met our goal which was to break 4 minutes in the [4 x 400-meters], which was amazing," Machado said. "The good thing about it is that after having that experience, as a relay team we know that we can do better, we know we can improve, and we know that from here on out, we will get faster. Our time wasn't as great as we wanted it to be, but we know we can do better, and that's just going to motivate us a little bit more."
Morwick explained she also sent the relay team to the BU meet to prepare for high-level competitions later in the season.
"The future goal is to qualify a [4 x 400-meters relay team] for nationals, so it was just for them to get on a bank track and have the experience of running under a lot of competition and start to put that relay together," Morwick said.
Saturday's home meet was the second annual competition named in honor of Branwen Smith-King for her 35 years of work in Tufts Athletics Department. Smith-King, a native of Bermuda, was the women's track and field and cross country coach from 1982 to 2000 before transitioning to an administrative role as assistant director of athletics and senior administrator from 2000 to 2017. She also had a successful career as a runner at Springfield College. One of her daughters is a Bermudian Olympian.
Smith-King made a surprise appearance at the meet, according to Morwick.
"We haven't seen her in a while," Morwick said. "It's a really nice tribute to her because she has done so much for the track and field programs here, and also just Tufts athletics in general. It's a special meet for us to host."
In the spirit of Smith-King's legacy of greatness, the Jumbos hope to build upon their success this weekend. They will send a distance medley relay team to New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association (NEICAAA) Championships at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston on Friday and then will host the annual Cupid Challenge at the Gantcher Center on Saturday.

Dallas Cowboys news: Dez Bryant says not to worry about Ezekiel Elliott
Dallas Cowboys news: Dez Bryant says not to worry about Ezekiel Elliott - Photo: YouTube (NFL)
Dez Bryant called Elliott's problems a 'stepping stone' and that he will mature.
by Shawn Lealos (article) and Milos Kitanovic (video)
July 21, 2017 at 10:59 PM July 21, 2017 at 10:59 PM
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is possibly facing a four game suspension from the NFL. It isn't for anything he did but was instead for situations he put himself in. This is a problem with a lot of young athletes and a fellow Cowboys star had similar problems when he first entered the NFL. While talking with reporters, ESPN reports that Dez Bryant said that these are just stepping stones for Elliott and he will mature as he gets older.
Ezekiel Elliott's legal problems
The first problem came before Ezekiel Elliott even played a down for the Dallas Cowboys. He was accused of domestic violence against a woman shortly after the NFL Draft last year.
The police never filed charges and witnesses said nothing happened and the woman was lying. Despite that, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has proven that he will suspend players without any proof of guilt.
There was an incident with another woman where Ezekiel Elliott pulled up a woman's shirt and was caught doing so on video. The woman never filed any sort of complaint against Elliott but it still made the previous charges look bad.
Finally, last week Elliott was at a bar when an incident occurred and a man left with an injured nose. Someone at the scene of the incident said that Ezekiel Elliott was involved but the police suspended the entire investigation because they said no witnesses came forward and they can't contact the alleged victim.
Dez Bryant comments
Dez Bryant came into the NFL with a troubled past. He played for the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the NCAA deemed him ineligible due to connections with Deion Sanders, who was trying to help the young star. Once Bryant hit the NFL, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had to pay someone to stay with Bryant to keep him out of trouble.
When it comes to learning from mistakes and growing, Dez Bryant knows a lot about that.
Now 28-years-old, Bryant said that these issues for Ezekiel Elliott are just "stepping stones" and that he is a young kid coming from college to the life of the NFL. Bryant then said that when the Cowboys star running back gets older, he will mature and things will get "smoother."
Retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also came out in defense of Ezekiel Elliott.
According to Romo in a radio interview in Dallas, Ezekiel is a "good kid." Romo said that he is "just trying to find his way." While Elliott has faced no criminal charges in any incident, the Cowboys just need him to stay away from compromising situations in the future.

Епископ Мефо́дий (в миру Михаи́л Плато́нович Краснопёров; 30 июля 1868, Вятское, Сарапульский уезд, Вятская губерния — 4 февраля 1921, Петропавловск) — епископ Русской православной церкви, епископ Петропавловский, викарий Омской епархии.

Причислен к лику святых Русской православной церкви в августе 2000 года в лике священномученика.

Биография
Родился 30 июля 1868 года в селе Вятском Сарапульского уезда Вятской губернии в бедной семье псаломщика Платона Красноперова.

Окончил Сарапульское духовное училище, затем поступил в Вятскую духовную семинарию, которую окончил в 1890 году.

22 октября 1891 года епископ Сарапульский Афанасий (Пархомович) рукоположил Михаила во священника к Тихвино-Богородицкой церкви в селе Паздеры Сарапульского уезда.

19 февраля 1896 года назначен сверхштатным священником к Вознесенскому собору в Сарапуле и заведующим и законоучителем Никольской церковно-приходской школы.

Во время своего служения священником иерей Михаил овдовел и принял решение целиком отдать себя на служение Церкви, а для этого он прежде всего счёл необходимым завершить духовное образование и в 1898 году поступил в Казанскую духовную академию (КДА).

В это время ректором академии был епископ Антоний (Храповицкий); общение с ним, беседы его о монашестве склонили отца Михаила к
решению принять иноческий постриг.

11 февраля 1900 года во время обучения на третьем курсе епископом Антонием пострижен в монашество с именем Мефодий. Тогда же был назначен благочинным учащегося в академии духовенства.

В 1902 году окончил миссионерскую группу татарского отделения КДА со степенью кандидата богословия (тема кандидатской работы: «Пастырь церкви по учению св. апостола Павла»)

16 августа того же года назначен помощником смотрителя Уфимского духовного училища.

Будучи иеромонахом, посещал «ночлежки», старался помогать их обитателям, молился вместе с ними. Совершал всенощные бдения, читал акафисты и Великим постом исповедовал их пред причастием.

С 1903 года — инспектор Александровской миссионерской семинарии. Член Ардонского отдела Владикавказского епархиального учёного совета.

В 1905 году назначен исправляющим обязанности ректора семинарии.

20 ноября 1906 года назначен ректором Уфимской духовной семинарии с возведением по должности в сан архимандрита.

Благочестивому пастырю и одарённому проповеднику, ему часто поручали говорить проповеди в уфимском кафедральном соборе. Им были организованы религиозно-нравственные и противоалкогольные чтения в одной из аудиторий церковно-приходской школы Уфы. В неурожайный год своим воззванием собрал для голодающих более двадцати тысяч рублей.

С 1908 год, одновременно редактор неофициальной части «Уфимских епархиальных ведомостей», состоял помощником председателя совета «Братства Воскресения Христова». С 1912 года одновременно председатель епархиальной благотворительной комиссии по оказанию помощи населению.

Епископ
С 10 февраля 1913 года — епископ Акмолинский, викарий Омской епархии.

Был помощником и соратником другого архиепископа Андроника (Никольского). Они развернули борьбу против порока пьянства, принимавшего в начале XX века в России все более угрожающий масштаб, а также с укоренявшимися в Сибири сектантами — баптистами и хлыстами.

В следующем году Петропавловская городская Дума возбудила ходатайство о перенесении местопребывания епископа в Петропавловск. Желание властей, горожан было столь велико, что они обязались в случае удовлетворения просьбы отпускать из городских средств ежегодно две тысячи рублей на обеспечение епископа помещением. Вскоре ходатайство дошло до императора и последовало высочайшее соизволение.

С 6 ноября 1914 года — епископ Петропавловский, викарий Омской епархии (после переноса викариатства из Акмолинска в Петропавловск).

Часто проводил богослужения. В 1915 году возглавил крестный ход с пожалованной Николаем II иконой Николая Чудотворца из Петропавловска в Акмолинск (расстояние между этими городами составляет 500 вёрст), посещая по пути прихожан, совершая богослужения, раздавая духовную литературу. Обратный путь совершил уже по другому маршруту, посещая новые селения. Был уважаем как православными верующими, так и мусульманами.

После свержения монархии, 27 марта 1917 года Совет рабочих и солдатских депутатов отправил телеграмму Александру Керенскому и обер-прокурору Святейшего синода с просьбой удалить епископа Мефодия из Петропавловска за «реакционную деятельность», но просьба была оставлена без внимания.

Мученическая кончина
В 1921 году в Западной Сибири вспыхнуло крестьянское восстание, вызванное произволом большевистских продотрядов. Восставшим удалось занять несколько городов, включая Петропавловск. Восстание было жестоко подавлено.

17 февраля 1921 года большевистский карательный отряд занял Петропавловск. Епископ Мефодий в тот день служил Божественную литургию и молебен в Никольской церкви. После службы он вышел на площадь перед храмом, где собрался народ, и был заколот штыками «красноармейцев». Уже мёртвому, ему вонзили крест в одну из ран. Епископ Мефодий был похоронен в общей могиле.

Канонизация
Имя епископа Мефодия было внесено в черновой поимённый список новомучеников и исповедников российских при подготовке канонизации, совершённой РПЦЗ в 1981 году. Однако сама канонизация не была поимённой, а список новомучеников был издан только в конце 1990-х годов.

Епископ Мефодий причислен к лику новомучеников Российских в 2000 на Архиерейском соборе Русской Православной Церкви.

Labour deny Tory claims that £2.5million Southall car park is white elephant
Ealing Conservatives are claiming a new car park in Southall is a flop and should be sold off, but Labour say it is a success
James Gates
New figures show Southall's £2.5million car park is a success, says the leader of Ealing Council, who attacked an opposition councillor's claims it is a 'white elephant'.
The council unveiled the long-awaited car park, which came in at half of its estimated cost, at the site of the Cattle Market amid much fanfare at the end of August.
At the time Phil Taylor, Conservative spokesman for transport and the environment said it was an 'outrageous misallocation of resources'.
He added: "The car park is a white elephant as it is in the wrong location, something the leader even admitted himself at a cabinet meeting a few months ago."
New council figures show although only 371 vehicles were parked at the car park in September, this rocketed to 1,131 in October and it has reached about 700 half way through November.
A town hall spokeswoman said the increase was down to a cut in charges, more people becoming aware of it and better signs.
Labour town hall leader Julian Bell, said: "They confirm what we've always known, which is that businesses and residents in Southall recognised the need for a new car park and have demanded one. It's very pleasing to see that people are using the car park and coming to shop and boost jobs and growth in Southall."
He described Mr Taylor's comments as 'baseless' and a 'very transparent but ineffective piece of political opportunism'.
Mr Taylor hit back and said: "The numbers clearly show this is not a busy city centre car park."
He added there are no comparative figures from nearby car parks which may show motorists have merely switched where they park.
He said: "The car park just about covers the costs of running it. There has been no effort to pay off the debt or the interest. They could have done something of real value by borrowing that money. If we were in power we'd sell it and spend the money on roads."

Katía paid an emotional tribute as she expressed her undying love on her late father's birthday.
The Latin pop singer shared a heartbreaking message on her social media platform on Saturday which caught the attention of her fans. Katía Aveiro, as she is popularly known, is the elder sister of Cristiano Ronaldo and she's loved by many football fans for her support towards her brother's enviable football career.
The late José Dinis Aveiro was born on 30 September 1953 in Santo Antonio, Madeira. The superstar's father died on 6 September 2005, just two years after Ronaldo signed for Manchester United. He passed on at age 51 in London, United Kingdom after battling alcohol addiction for several years. Dinis got married to Maria Dolores and had four children – Elma Aveiro, Hugo Aveiro, Katía Aveiro and Cristiano Ronaldo.


I created my poster for a UN European poster competition in 2011 on the theme "Say NO to violence against women and girls" to raise awareness as a survivor that non-State torture is a specific form of violence against women and girls and needs recognition.
My inspiration came from the lino-cut prints by Brazilian artist Octavio Roth of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that are displayed along a wall inside the UN building in Geneva.
My poster goes everywhere in activism with me!

New York's construction boom brings a demolition derby
Buck Ennis
The death of one building brings the birth of another.
As New York underwent a wave of construction through 2016, buildings on the other end of their life span were being demolished at the same frenetic pace. The city issued 2,152 demolition permits last year, an increase of 83% from the number of teardowns approved in 2012.
The bulk of those demolitions were in Brooklyn, where median home prices hit a record high of $750,000 in the fourth quarter, according to real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman, as available inventory dropped 31% from the same period a year before.
Around the city, debris from construction and demolition accounts for more than 60% of the solid-waste stream, according to the Department of Sanitation. But some of the material, including concrete, brick and salvaged wood, is reused in new construction.

Unemployment is when a person who is of normal working age (usually about 15-18 to about 60-65) does not have a paid job. They therefore do not get paid a salary. In some parts of the world, there are social networks to care for the unemployed.
The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people divided by the total population of that age group of a country. The unemployment rate is influenced by many things, including the government of a country to the average age of a country's population. Unemployment is a bad thing for society.

Simcoe man accused of luring and sexually assaulting teenage victim
Justin Zadorsky CTVNewsLondon.ca Web Writer
Published Thursday, May 28, 2020 9:36AM EDT Last Updated Thursday, May 28, 2020 9:43AM EDT
An Ontario Province Police officer is seen in this file photo.
LONDON, ONT. -- Provincial police in Huron County have arrested and charged a Simcoe, Ont. man after they allege he lured and sexually assaulted a minor.
In February, police began an investigation into a possible child luring and sexual assault case involving a 15-year-old victim.
According to police the suspect had sexually explicit conversations with the victim before arranging an in-person meeting.
During that meeting police say the victim was sexually assaulted.
Police noted that the alleged incidents occured months before they were made aware of them.
Jordan Cobb, 37, of Simcoe has been charged with the following offences:
Luring a Person Under 16 years of age by means of Telecommunication
Invitation to Sexual Touching - Person Under 16 years of Age
Sexual Interference
Cobb remains in custody and will appear in court Friday in Goderich.
None of the allegations have been proven in court.

I love anything representing my team! Good price for a great carry bag! Folds easy for storage too. You can't go wrong for football season.
Giving as a gift, she's gonna love it!
It was a gift for my mother and she loved it and has used it often.
Love the size of these caddies! I bought 3 of them. When they arent being used in my car, they are being used in my house to tote things around. They are sturdy and hold a lot. They will be fun to use tailgating at the Packer games (season ticket holders). They price is excellent.
Very sturdy. Plenty of room.
Was bigger than I thought. Love it.

«Сейм виходить з берегів» — український радянський художній фільм  року режисера Ісаака Шмарука за однойменною повістю Вілія Москальця. Стрічку створено на «Кіностудії імені Олександра Довженка». Прем'єра стрічки відбулась 23 липня 1962 року.

Синопсис
У стрічці йдеться про життя Миколи Дончака (Микола Вінграновський), який через багато років повернувся в рідне село. Служив в армії, потім навчався, став механізатором. І потягнуло його в рідні краї.

У селі за час його відсутності багато чого змінилося. Подруга дитинства Софійка (Сільвія Сергейчикова) — вийшла заміж. Заміжжя виявилося не дуже вдалим. Чоловік уже котрий рік носиться по країні в гонитві за довгим карбованцем, а тут ще й свекруха. Софійка, зрозумівши, що кохає Миколу — йде від чоловіка до нього.

Голова колгоспу Терентій Буслай (Віктор Добровольський), який у роки війни став йому другим батьком, також змінися. Він принижує колгоспників, адмініструє, виправдовуючи свої незаконні дії величчю кінцевої мети. Такий же самодур Буслай і у своїй родині, де він ставить непереборні перешкоди між своїм сином Володею (Валерій Панарін) та його коханої Вірою (Світлана Кондратова).

Дончак починає боротьбу з хибними методами керівництва Буслая. Проте не так легко боротися з головою колгоспу, котрого цінують в республіці, їдуть вчитися. Але одного разу трапилася аварія, у якій загинув син Буслая Володя, заснув за кермом. Загибель сина змушує Буслая переглянути все життя, зрозуміти свої помилки.

The 'Background to the Draft Bill,' published in the First Report of the Select Committee on Home Affairs and Work and Pensions, states that the primary impetus behind the proposed reforms is the "public concern that the law is not delivering justice." In particular, this section of the report refers to the Marchioness Riverboat tragedy and highlights how distressed, angry and frustrated those who were bereaved by this incident felt as a result of what they perceived to be a failure of the law to prosecute those responsible. On this basis the report states "we have taken the view throughout this report that the key issue to consider when examining the proposals is whether they satisfy those who have previously felt so let down by the law," suggesting that the new approach must take an individual victim-based perspective.As a basis for reform, I must take issue with this rationale. Whilst it may well be the case that the law has previously failed to strike the correct balance between the protection of corporations from criminal liability on the one hand and the enforcement of the interests of secondary victims, who feel that criminal prosecution is the only true justice, on the other, the way of rectifying this imbalance should not be through an individual victim-based approach.

Jean Simmons, The Egyptian, 1953. The girl named for her birthplace (Charlotte, North Carolina) won a Fox contract in the early 50s. She lost Merit to Hollywood's latest UK beauty - and, ironically, was cast in Simmons' next movie, Désirée, with Marlon Brando, who had famously fled this shoddy BC epic. Austin proved there was life after Fox even if it meant having half the title role in The Bride and the Beast, 1957, written by Ed Wood.


What do I say about astrology, the much abused study of patterns that creates ridiculous distortions in the way people perceive their lives? It is hard to think of a modality that generates more garbage than astrology, and yet, there is useful information to be had with it.
My love/hate relationship with astrology has persisted for many years. I am actually a reasonably competent esoteric astrologer, which simply means I look at a chart from the point of view of the soul purpose, looking at assets and liabilities in accomplishing soul purpose. This weeds out quite a lot of astrological garbage.
However, esoteric astrology still leaves all the weaknesses of the astrologer in place. The astrologer, even a good one, can have a bad day and misinterpret a chart, miss important information, and distort what is seen. So plenty of garbage remains available.
People rarely gain much from a reading which simply delivers information, however garbled, to their conscious minds anyway. The conscious mind doesn't usually hold the steering wheel in such matters, so beneficial effects are minimal even though people love to hear about themselves.
The worst example I ever saw was a woman who came to me with her chart, which I saw was heavily themed with deceit and dishonesty. I thought, well, here goes, and flatly told her what I saw.
She smilingly agreed and happily recounted examples from her rambunctious love life. She was perfectly delighted I recognized her blatantly deceitful manipulations!
I was stunned. Even though she paid for the reading, the whole exercise was a pointless waste of time for me in that no positive growth resulted for her. This woman did not even want growth of any kind. I quit doing regular readings at that point.
As a new approach I later began adding protected energy processes to reading a chart and found it far more fruitful. I eventually called it Soul Attunement Astrology and chose to work only with clients who wanted to follow their soul path and experience creative growth.
In the normal reading preceding the energy work I may see the chart in a different way than when I enter the energy processes. Totally different configurations may light up in my mind's eye as the energy work begins.
I find this most instructive as I cooperate with the process and work with what I am shown. In subtle, powerful ways this assists positive manifestation of growth potentials in alignment with the individual's soul path, particularly when facing challenging patterns.
All challenging patterns carry energy, and once the challenge is met and resolved, that energy becomes a potent force propelling the person forward on his or her path. For me, this creative growth is the only useful application of the realm called astrology.
This entry was posted in Creative Astrology and tagged astology, esoteric astrology, growth, soul purpose on September 20, 2007 by Lexi Sundell.
I understand your frustration about unpredictability with the knowledge astrology.
We astrologers, are trying to predict the possible events based on the birth day chart. It is not a wrong approach.
But we have to take into account the individual's circumstances, Attitude, the Up-bringing, Free Will Power etc which are ever changeable. In fact the Free Will helps to override the possible life's events predicted through the Astrology and Birth Chart. But unless the Free will is very strong it may not be able to destroy the influence of the planets shown during the analysis.
So true! Astrology, like any other tool, can be used or mis-used. Congratulations on being true to your Self.

Is the cathedral church of Bitola and the most beautiful example of the "revival period" churches in Macedonia.
Turks didn't allow building of new churches during their occupation, but as the empire was weakening in the 18th century they started giving permissions for building of churches to keep the population happy. There were many rules to be followed like the exterior had to be without decorations and the floor of the church had to be at least one meter below the ground so the church wouldn't dominate the skyline of the city.
Saint Demetrius church was built in 1830, as a three naved basilica with galleries and five chapels. While they had to keep the exterior modest the enterior is lavishly decorated with woodwork. The huge icon screen was made in 1845.

The Nature of the Drug: Crestor (also known by its generic name rosuvastatin) is a cholesterol-lowering statin drug. In 2011, Crestor's manufacturer AstraZeneca plc reported $6.6 billion in global sales of the product.
Crestor is used to prevent and treat heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. The drug impedes the dangerous process by which bad cholesterol accumulates in the arteries and thereby diminishes blood flow to the heart, brain, or other parts of the body. Crestor decreases bad cholesterol that restricts arterial blood flow, by Crestor's lowering the user's level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). And Crestor encourages arterial blood flow by increasing good cholesterol—a substance that protects against heart disease—by raising the user's level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL).
The Hazards of Crestor: Studies have linked Crestor to serious side effects, including muscle damage, memory loss, kidney damage or failure, liver damage, diabetes, rhabdomyolysis (death of muscle fibers that can lead to compromised kidney function), and cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle). Some of the damage is irreversible, such as kidney damage from rhabdomyolysis.
In 2004, the FDA issued a public-health advisory warning that the drug can cause muscle damage, particularly in Asian populations. The non-profit Public Citizen petitioned the FDA for an immediate recall; but the FDA found that Crestor's risk of causing muscle damage was not greater than that of similar statins, so the agency ruled merely that Crestor's label should be updated. AstraZeneca followed up by placing warnings on the drug's packaging.
In 2012, a lawsuit linked Crestor to sudden cardiac death. Another suit alleged that AstraZeneca and its distributors had marketed the drug knowing that it could cause serious side effects.
To Obtain Legal Relief: People who have been injured by taking the statin drug Crestor may have valuable legal rights. Attorney Stephen A. Katz is available at (800) 251-3529 for a free consultation, or for legal representation.

Bats Remain Red Hot as No. 27 Wilmington Baseball Takes Care of Kutztown, 9-2
A two-run fifth inning gave the Wilmington University baseball team the lead for good as it defeated Kutztown, 9-2, in the final regular season home game on Thursday afternoon at Wilson Field.
The Golden Bears (17-19) took an early 2-0 lead through the top of the third inning, but then it was all Wildcats (28-9) as they scored a single run in the bottom of the third, two more in the bottom of the fifth, and broke it open with a six run sixth inning. The Wildcats, ranked No. 27 in the latest Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Division II Poll, collected 15 hits on the afternoon, bringing their five-game total to 67 hits.
Starting pitcher Matt Frost got through a difficult first inning, leaving the bases loaded while only giving up one run. A leadoff walk in the top of the third came around to score on a sacrifice fly for the Golden Bears but then Frost settled in to get through five strong innings.
Josh Swirchak, who had a 21-game hitting streak snapped yesterday at USciences after being pulled in the fourth inning, started another hitting streak with a double over the third base bag. Frank Samluk came around to score to put the Wildcats on the board.
Samluk then led off the fifth with a single before Christian Adorno tripled to the gap in right center, chasing Samluk home to tie the game 2-2. Swirchak followed with a grounder to short with the infield back, allowing Adorno to come home for their first lead of the game.
With the bases loaded and one out in the sixth, Adorno singled into left field, bringing two runs home to give the Wildcats some breathing room. Swirchak followed with a triple to right center, clearing the bases for the 7-2 lead. Sam Goines got in on the action as well, doubling to left center to score Swirchak. Goines then stole third and came home for the Wildcats' final run of the game as the throw went into left field.
Peter Monahan left two runners on base in the seventh before Kyle Menchaca left the bases loaded in the eighth, both without allowing a run. Tyler Fries gave up a two-out hit but ended the game with a strikeout to give the Wildcats their third straight victory.
Samluk went 4-for-5 with three runs scored from atop the Wildcat lineup while Adorno finished 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored. Swirchak and Goines added two hits a piece for the Wildcats, with Swirchak bringing in a team high four RBI.
Frost picked up his first collegiate career win in five innings of work, striking out three batters. He allowed two runs on two hits while working around two walks as well.
The Wildcats take to the road for another Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference doubleheader on Friday, as they make up games against Concordia. The first pitch of the double dip is scheduled for 1 p.m.

I'm listening to Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" as I write this up, sipping a barolo (haiku, I find, pair nicely with something with body and opinion), smelling the bread I have baking for dinner, watching the cardinals and chickadees fight at the neighbor's bird feeder.
You might well ask what part of this poem I am not: the code violator of the first line, or the poetry denier of the second, to which I can only suggest, yes.
We can't help it — there's so much to do. Those who study such things suggest that our attention spans have shrunk to a mere 8 seconds, but while this is alarming, it measures only one direction: we are so much broader than we once were, and can juggle so effortlessly our many balls and knives — until, of course, we can't.
And yes, I suppose I am enabling him by giving him the attention he so desperately craves.
I recognize that this is a themed challenge, and that "multitask" appears in the header this week, but such a poem as this invites many sorts of departures. I tried to imagine this poem outside of the confines of this column, and, while it is ultimately unsatisfying because the poet is not doing quite enough of the work, it does succeed in creating a kind of mental space where we can go to surprise others and ourselves, and that is not a bad thing to do from time to time, no matter the occasion.
The throw-away of the final line reflects both the multitasker and her products, and is a casual compliment, which is perhaps the best kind.
The fun of this is, of course, that we know that the topic is multitasking, and we expect that the accidental deleting will be the result of doing such, and that the poem is therefore a short morality tale. But no, the multitasking is actually at one remove, is both neatly noted and succinctly stated, and is acknowledged in such a light tone that it would be hard to take the deleter to task. An excellent job security strategy.
We take the content point, of course, but notice the felicity of language here — how the ms stack up at the beginning, and with but a single one in the last line we feel a loss, quite in keeping with the tone and subject matter. And again, how the multiply-voiced os gather momentum toward the end, and how this round and various sound also catches a sense of the content. So not only was this poet writing his reality, he was listening to it as well.
And now, if you'll pardon me, I need to get back to that barolo — some things deserve our full attention.

From October 2014 through April 2016 Haiku Foundation president Jim Kacian offered a column on haiku for the London Financial Times centered on the theme of work. Each week we share these columns with the haiku community at large, along with an invitation to join in the fun. Submit a poem by Sunday midnight on the theme of the week, from the classical Japanese tradition, or contemporary practice, or perhaps one of your own, which you might even write for the occasion. The best of these will be appended to the column. First published 23 November 2015.

Tony Amendola
After moving out to Los Angeles from his home on the east coast, slight and dark-eyed character actor Tony Amendola began his career on stage. Amendola made his screen debut with the short-lived socialite-cum-detective series "Partners in Crime" (1984), which served as a springboard for a guest role on the hit series "L.A. Law" and a subsequent appearance on "Seinfeld" as a man that Kramer thought might have been Salman Rushdie. Throughout the '90s and '00s, the actor became an increasingly more frequent face in film and television, often appearing and re-appearing as separate characters on such series as "CSI," "The Practice," and the animated "Spawn," and in such movies as "The Mask of Zorro" and its sequel. Amendola's fantasy-driven guest roles on a number of series including "Angel," "Charmed," "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," and "Star Trek: Voyager" helped him land the recurring role of the cautious but friendly Jaffa leader Bra'tac on the cult sci-fi hit "Stargate SG-1." Despite that well-known portrayal, Amendola has a knack for depicting unseemly types in such projects as the drug drama "Blow" and the serial-killer series "Dexter," on which the actor played a murderer of the title character's mother.

Established in 1579 and one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe, the ensemble that makes up Vilnius University's main campus buildings embraces just about every major architectural style of the last 400 years. Closed for much of the 19th and the first 18 years of the 20th century, famous students who studied here include the Romantic poets Adam Mickiewicz and Juliusz Słowacki, the writer and historian Simonas Daukantas and the Nobel-winning author Czesław Miłosz. As well as housing the oldest library in the country, the university is also famed for its courtyards, of which there are either 12 or 13 depending on your definition of one. Find a map at Universiteto 7 explaining where everything is.
I enjoyed wandering around Vilnius University. I particulary liked the church and bell tower, but also enjoyed wandering through some of the quadrangles. The entrance is near the parliament building.


FAKE NEWS ALERT: There is NO 'Surge' in 'Right-Wing Violence' in the U.S.A.
Men and women who have served in the military have returned with damaged psyches, broken bodies, and missing limbs. We won't know for a long time if these causalities were worth it. For those who lost loved ones, it wasn't worth it. I know they have to say it was, but in the end, for them, it wasn't worth it. When we hear that "war is hell," it's not far from the truth.
War is not personal for a lot of people. It's something that is done "over there." Vietnam was the first war piped into our living rooms. It was the steady stream of body bags and the draft that brought an end to the war and more than 50,000 American dead soldiers. This says nothing about the dead Vietnam soldiers – both North and South – and Vietnam civilians. The same is true for the war dead in Iraq and Afghanistan.
My father served in WW II in the Pacific. He was at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He survived the day that lived in infamy, obviously, since I'm writing this. I was born in 1950.
It wasn't too long before the specter of war raised its ugly head again in the Korean Conflict. My father reenlisted and was told that he would only be involved in training. The Army lied. He was send to Korea and left my mother behind with two infant children, my brother and me.
That stump of a leg shaped our lives in so many ways. One particular "stump story" remains a vivid memory and a constant reminder of my father's unvoiced frustration with what was no longer normal about his life.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were playing the New York Yankees at Forbes Field in the 1960 World Series. It was the seventh game of the series, and my father was there with my uncle Charlie. The series was a wild and wacky one from the start. The Yankees scored fifty-five runs, with ninety-one hits and still lost. Mickey Mantle described the series as the biggest disappointment of his baseball career, and this from a guy who hit 536 home runs and helped the Yankees win twelve pennants and seven world championships. A person should have such disappointments. But for a Pirate fan whose team had not been in the series since 1927, it was heaven!
The score of the seventh and final game had see-sawed back and forth all day. Going into the bottom of the ninth, the score was tied 9–9. With two outs, my father left his seat. His prosthetic leg was giving him fits. A nasty boil at erupted on the tender skin of his stump. Not able to stand it any longer, he left his seat and made his way to the rest room to nurse the painful lesion.
There are many young men and women who have come back from war in the same condition as my father. They are missing limbs and worse. Most won't be able to do the things they dreamed of doing. My father, trained in refrigeration repair, had to settle for a low-paying desk job. We lived on the edge of the city of Pittsburgh in the dying steel town of Homestead in the "Projects" until I was five.
My father's new circumstances did not deter him from seeking better things for us. We moved to the suburbs and prospered.
Even with my father's physical limitations, I rarely heard him complain. He lived a full life. He golfed, walking the course with my brother serving as his caddie. He belonged to a bowling league. We would go to the local swimming pool at South Park in the evenings to avoid the daytime crowds. After removing his prosthetic leg, he would use his crutches to make his way to the diving board. Startled onlookers would watch as he gently hopped out to the edge of the board to dive in.
He coached the Little League team that my brother and I played on. He even danced at my brother's wedding.
Life was not over for him because he lost a piece of himself. Our family remained intact. My mother supported my father to the very end. This life is not our end.
On his death bed, my father embraced his Savior. It's too bad that he waited so long. For any who are out there who find themselves in a similar situation, take it from my father, your life's not over.


Working in an office restricts you from doing something like piercing your ears. There are things that the boss cannot tolerate because most of the offices have a particular dressing code. You cannot pierce your ears if you are employed in such offices. People will perceive it as lewdness. However, when you work from home, you can pierce both ears and nobody will question your decision. Your productivity is the key determinant when you are working from home.
Another appearance issue that is very crucial when you are working in an office is your dressing code and several things like hair neatness. Most of the office workers are required to report to work wearing a suit. However, not all people like wearing a suit. However, you will get all the dressing freedom you will need when you work from home because nobody will be on your case.


What is the true concept of love in Islam?
Love can be defined in a number of different ways. Love can be defined as a strong feeling of affection or liking, love can be defined as a great interest, intrigue or pleasure in something or someone, and love can also be defined as a feeling of intimacy or deep affection towards someone. There are a number of different types of love. The type of love which the word "love" I typically used for is the love between two partners. For example, the love between a husband and a wife or a boyfriend and a girlfriend is the type of love for which the word "love" is typically used for. Apart from this type of love, there are many other types such as motherly love, fatherly love, brotherly love, sisterly love and the love between friends, among many other types.
Why do people want to know about the Islamic concept of love?
Whenever a Muslim does something, they want to make sure that what they are doing is correct in the light of Islam and how they are doing what they are doing is in accordance to the method which Islam has specified. This is true in every single case, meaning that it is also true when it comes to love. Whenever a person wants to know about love in Islam, they want to know about the true Islamic concept of love. As with every other religion, Islam has its own concept of love. For Muslims, this concept of love is absolute.
There is an extremely pure concept of every type of love in the light of the religion of Islam. For example, the concept of fatherly love in the religion of Islam is the love between a father and his child, and the concept of motherly love in Islam is the love between a mother and her child. Likewise, there is also a completely pure concept of the love between two people, a man and a woman, in Islam.
The true concept of love in Islam states that two people, a man and a woman, can fall in love with each other regardless of their age, caste, race or social status. Like almost all other concepts of love, the Islamic concept of the love between a man and a woman describes the love as a gentle, caring, kind, intimate feeling which is full of affection. However, in the light of the religion of Islam, there are certain limitations and restrictions to the love between a man and a woman.
One of the restrictions is that a man and a woman cannot be in a relationship involving love and/or intimacy if they have not married each other. For Muslim women, another restriction in the concept of love in Islam is that they cannot marry men who follow a religion other than Islam. However, Muslim men are allowed to marry women who do not follow the religion of Islam, provided that the women they marry agree to convert to Islam before/during/after the marriage.
What do you think the true Islamic concept of love is?


With a sterndrive or inboard / outboard drive the engine is located close to the transom. Stern drives deliver power via a shaft that goes through the transom to the outdrive.
The out drive or lower unit contains the gearing and carries the propeller. The boat is steered similar to an outboard motor by pivoting this unit and no rudder is required.
It is important to select a propulsion system that is a good match for the hull and motor. Propulsion systems include waterjet or drive shafts and stern drives with propeller.
The correct choice of water jet thrust or propeller is essential to get the best handling and performance. Propulsion types are selected for different tasks and locations.
Exhaust gasses need to freely exit an engine to allow it to generate maximum power. Specialist exhaust systems can be added to improve an engines performance.
A 'dry' exhaust system transports exhaust gases to the outside of the hull without cooling. A 'wet' exhaust system aims to reduces exhaust gas temperature by cooling.
Trim buttons control hydraulics that change the angle of propeller thrust on outboard motors and sterndrive installations. Outboards can be "tilted up" out of the water.
Trim tabs or interceptors are fitted on the transom to improve sea keeping and performance. Electric motors or hydraulics are used to raise and lower the trim units.
A transom jack plate is designed to raise or lower an outboard motor vertically at the transom. It can help to improve fuel economy and increase maximum speed.
Jack plates are installed between transom and engine. Jack plates can be hydraulically operated or manually operated and can be used to reduce propeller draft.
One gear shift control lever is required for each inboard or outboard engine. The gear shift has three defined positions neutral (out of gear), forward and reverse.
Most outboard motors use a combined gear shift and throttle lever. The command from lever to engine can be by cable or electronically, also known as fly by wire.
One throttle control lever is usually required for each inboard or outboard engine. The throttle control lever is pushed forward or "throttled up" to increase boat speed.
On multiple engine installations each throttle can be moved independently. Modern fly by wire systems enable two, three or four outboard motors to be synchronised.
Steering wheels for professional craft need to be strong enough to withstand heavy use in rough conditions. Materials include aluminium, stainless steel and composite.
Three spoke designs have more space for the hands to grip the outer rim. Additional steering wheel turn knobs can be fitted to improve speed of turning and manoeuvring.

Babeheaven's First Single Can't Quite Reach Heaven
Emily Solomon March 22, 2016
Casey Nugent '17 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer
Babeheaven performing their single "Heaven" live, still taken from YouTube.
Fans of Sylvan Esso might get a bit of déjà vu when listening to "Heaven," the first single from West London synthpop group Babeheaven. "Heaven," currently streaming on Bandcamp and available for preorder through the Bandcamp website, definitely evokes the style of bands that came before it, failing to stand out as its own sound and define Babeheaven as their own group.
"Heaven" has all the markers of a classic synthpop track—smoky female vocals over a dreamlike synth rhythm, backed by a minimal drum track so that audience members can sway their hips to the beat, but in a slow, mellow way. What it lacks is something new, although there are hints of what Babeheaven might be able to offer in the future. The most interesting bits of the song contain what appears to be an island influence. Something that sounds like a steelpan beats out a few notes in the middle of the song, and although "Heaven" never directly goes that route, it opens the door to hope that Babeheaven might be indulging in in a more Caribbean sound in future tracks, which would absolutely set them apart.
Lyrically, "Heaven" has potential that falls unfortunately flat. The song was inspired by the death of the lead singer's mother, and according to Babeheaven's Bandcamp page has since evolved to be about the barriers we put up and break down in front of other people. Any emotional interest or impact that the story might provide is lost in the production of the song, however. The echo effect used on the vocal track makes the lyrics incredibly difficult to understand throughout the song. That being said, what can be understood seems to be basic songwriting at best—"free" is rhymed with "believe" in the first lines of the song, and the poetry doesn't get much better after that.
"Heaven" is a disappointment for fans looking for something new and exciting in the synthpop world. It retreads a lot of steps in music and production that we've already heard before. But there's a chance that Babeheaven, if they do choose to go with a more Caribbean inspired synthpop route, might be worth watching out for.

The Red Road, Ep. 1.03, "The Woman Who Fell from the Sky" is an entertaining middle installment
The Red Road, Season 1, Episode 3, "The Woman Who Fell from the Sky"
Written by Bridget Carpenter
Directed by J. Michael Muro
Airs Thursdays at 9pm EST on SundanceTV
This week, on The Red Road: Jean starts to stabilize, Phillip spends some quality time with his dad, and Rachel has terrible taste in boyfriends
The Red Road continues this week with an entertaining, if not hugely memorable, table-setting episode. With only six episodes in the first season, there's not much opportunity for multiple dramatic peaks and valleys, so it's not surprising that episode three features some fallout from the characters' various poor choices in episodes one and two and a few new touches, but no fireworks. These are presumably coming later, as we build towards the finale. As a middle episode, however, "The Woman Who Fell from the Sky" works well, expanding Phillip's circle and focusing in a bit more on Rachel.
Chat Box - Go ahead, make my day and ask me questions about movies and TV shows...
Entertainment Bot
Hello, how are you? Ask me anything about TV shows and movies and entertainment in general.
Tom Sizemore returns as Jack, Phillip's criminally-minded father, but while he's very convincing as the instigating baddie of the season, his relationship with Jason Momoa's Phillip remains underdeveloped. It's hard to tell if this is intentional; the two have had only a couple scenes. It would be nice to have a better read on their dynamic- Phillip has been in jail, but when did that happen, and had he left home before this? Was his father around when he was a kid? Tamara Tunie's Marie doesn't seem like the type to brook nonsense- when did she kick Jack out and was it before or after Phillip started taking after his father? Hopefully these gaps will start to be filled in as the series continues. The mystery surrounding Phillip is certainly intriguing, but Momoa's scenes with Sizemore should be more impactful, and a few answers could go a long way in helping this.
We spend more time with Rachel this week, as she rebels against her parents hangs out with her boyfriend. Allie Gonino is charismatic and makes her scenes work surprisingly well, considering the utter lack of depth to the character so far. We have little sense of why she's attracted to Junior, but she stands up for herself and generally isn't overly stupid (which is unfortunately not the case much of the time with the TV-Rebellious Teenager type), and this goes a long way. Rachel could easily feel like a plot device, the instigating factor for Jean's breakdown, Harold's coverup, and Phillip's manipulation of Harold, but she feels like a normal teen. It's hard to get a grasp of what her childhood has been like, given the fluctuations in Jean in just these three episodes, so we don't know precisely where she's coming from, but her beats fall on the right side of relatable and tired and halfway through the season, this critic is actually somewhat interested in whether she stays broken up with Junior, a not insignificant achievement.
Jean once again surprises this week as she gets back on her meds and starts to realize what's happened. Her desire to do the right thing upon balancing out wins her a lot of audience sympathy and hints at developments to come- her husband actively attempting to blur her grasp on her memory and reality can't be great for Jean's mental health, but of course Harold's stuck, having already covered up the accident. This is a much more interesting moral gray area for him to navigate than the one presented with Jean's hit and run. How far will he go, and what will his attempts to save her end up costing her?
While a majority of the episode is spent with familiar faces, it's nice to see the Lenape world expanded somewhat with the addition of Lisa Bonet as a childhood friend (acquaintance?) of Phillip's. The more sides of Phillip we get to see explored the better, and that goes double for the Native American community on the show. Hopefully there will be more to come- Bonet and Momoa have good chemistry and another perspective on the main characters' shared history would certainly be interesting, should it be explored. Overall, The Red Road is still finding its feet, with interesting elements that haven't yet cohered, making it entertaining, but not quite appointment, television.
What did you think of this episode? Anyone else relieved granny just had a bad dream? Think Harold can keep things up with Phillip interfering at the station? Do you want some time with Kate next week, or is one daughter storyline enough for now? Post your thoughts below!

MORPHWIZ
A RADICALLY INNOVATIVE
MIDI INSTRUMENT
"Jordan's very capable use of his unique invention- MorphWiz must be a Godsend to his road crew. It's important to note that no Moog synthesizers were harmed in its production."
Jordan states, "Our goal was to create an instrument that would allow the seamless morphing of the audio and visual domain while delivering a seamless musical experience. I believe the iPhone/iPad multitouch platform opens up a whole new world of creation of electronic musical instruments and we're proud MorphWiz is our first major offering. My experience and involvement with the Haken Continuum and extraordinary Bebot app brought to life an advanced pitch control system that is still uncharted territory for many in today's music instrument world. This is the heart of MorphWiz."
MORPHWIZ – INCREDIBLE EXPRESSIVE SUBTLETY
MorphWiz is the second app to bear the Jordan Rudess name. MorphWiz is partly inspired by the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, a radically innovative and revolutionary MIDI instrument that Jordan uses on stage and in the studio with Dream Theater.
Like the Continuum, Jordan Rudess' MorphWiz is a vertical grid based musical instrument that allows a whole new level of expressive control!
If you're a beginner, you'll love experimenting with all of the presets, but if you're a professional musician, you will soon be blown away by one of the coolest methods of controlling sound that you've ever laid hands on.

Gendered research and innovation: Integrating sex and gender analysis into the research process, League of European Research Universities, 2015 september
• LERU universities aim to significantly contribute to creating new knowledge and to finding solutions to global challenges, such as climate change, security and public health. LERU universities realise that in order to do so effectively, they need to take into account potential sex and gender differences with respect to the way research is designed, carried out and implemented. Without considering sex and gender analysis in research and innovation (GRI), the scope, impact and utility of research results may not be equally valid for both men and women.
• For example, research shows that women tend to present different heart attack symptoms than men. This knowledge was absent until recently, simply because most research had been carried out on men only and the assumption was made that there were no significant differences between the sexes. Producing research results that apply equally to men and women has the potential to improve lives and to save money.
• It is widely acknowledged that not all research questions and projects, such as certain fields of theoretical mathematics, have a gender dimension. Yet, recognising the wide-ranging importance of gender analysis, the European Commission designated over 130 subfields where data show that gender analysis can benefit research—these range from computer hardware and architecture to nanotechnology, oceanography, geosciences, organic chemistry, aeronautics, space medicine, biodiversity, ecology, biophysics, among others. It is, thus, crucially important to consider GRI factors systematically throughout the research process before they are ruled out as non-significant. Considering GRI encompasses the entire research cycle: from making decisions about priorities for research spending, through deciding on the research focus, methodology and data collection, to analysing and reporting data, and even to disseminating and applying the results. Asking GRI questions, and integrating them in research where appropriate, will contribute not only to individual researchers' and to LERU universities' commitment to excellent research, but also to responsible research and innovation to the benefit of society at large.
• This paper outlines research areas with a clear need for GRI and explains the role of Social Sciences and Humanities research in GRI. It gives concrete examples of research projects that include a GRI dimension (found in boxes in the text with further examples in the appendix) and looks at established or emerging practice at LERU universities and in other organisations.
• LERU universities aspire to lead by example. Besides providing examples of practice at LERU universities, we formulate recommendations for an action-oriented GRI approach, which LERU and other universities can take. For example, the university leadership should raise awareness of the importance of GRI within the institution; provide tools for researchers to understand and apply GRI methods in their research fields; and bring this important topic to the attention of policy makers.
• Next to our recommendations for universities, we suggest that governments should include a GRI dimension in research policies and programmes, help raise awareness and provide information and training on this topic. They should include a GRI dimension in funding calls, where data show sex or gender to be a significant factor. Research funders should also adopt policies to promote GRI.
• The European Commission, in its ERA policy framework and in its Horizon 2020 funding programme, emphasises the importance of integrating gender/sex analysis in research and innovation (R&I) content. The approach taken at the EU level is a model that can serve to inspire national and local approaches; it should be continued and strengthened.
• Journals should set standards for the inclusion of information on GRI, developing clear guidelines for authors on how to include sex and gender analysis in research and research reporting.
• LERU universities should take a lead in national and international discussions with governments, funding agencies, journals and other actors to emphasise the importance of support for GRI and to ensure that sufficient funds are allocated. A comprehensive, strategic and partnership approach is vital to ensure that the momentum is not lost and that awareness of the importance of GRI as a contributor to responsible research and innovation keeps growing.

According to the first estimates from the Office for National Statistics, the average Brit consumes 50% more calories than they think they do. The new data show that men are the worst at kidding themselves – typically consuming 1,000 more calories than they estimate every day – while women eat about 800 calories more than they account for. The new PHE advice, in the One You nutrition campaign, will say adults should limit lunches and dinners to 600 calories each, with 400 calories for breakfast.
New figures from the Office of National Statistics have shown that emissions from motor vehicles have actually dropped 12% in the four years between 2012 and 2016.

News on Health Professional Radio. Today is the 19th of February 2018. Read by Tabetha Moreto.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/02/19/fat-britain-average-person-eats-50-calories-realise/
According to the first estimates from the Office for National Statistics, the average Brit consumes fifty percent more calories than they think they do. The new data show that men are the worst at kidding themselves – typically consuming one thousand more calories than they estimate every day – while women eat about eight hundred calories more than they account for.
Experts said the delusion occurs because people do not like to "be taken for slobs" – and ended up lying to themselves. The revelation comes as Public Health England (PHE) prepares to launch a calorie counting campaign, as part of efforts to combat Britain's obesity epidemic.
Two thirds of adults are overweight or obese, along with one third of children by the time they leave primary school. New data suggest that the crisis is fuelled by the fact the average person wildly underestimates the amount of calories they are consuming daily. The survey of more than four thousand adults asked men and women to attempt to track their calorie consumption over four days.
On average, the figures from men amounted to an average daily consumption of two thousand sixty five calories, while the average for women was one thousand five hundred seventy. Men were found to expend an average of three thousand one hundred nineteen calories – meaning that was their likely consumption level – while women were expending two thousand three hundred ninety three daily. The more overweight consumers were, the less reliable their account of their calorie intake was, the research found, while women were slightly more accurate than men.
The new PHE advice, in the One You nutrition campaign, will say adults should limit lunches and dinners to six hundred calories each, with four hundred calories for breakfast. Those behind the campaign say overall recommended daily consumption levels are unchanged- at two thousand calories for women and two thousand five hundred for men – but that the guidance is a "rule of thumb" to help people cut back. Health officials say the average adult is consuming two hundred to three hundred more calories every day than they should.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/emissions-from-cars-have-actually-dropped-but-theyre-still-bad_uk_5a86d10ee4b00bc49f4318fc?utm_hp_ref=uk-health
New figures from the Office of National Statistics have shown that emissions from motor vehicles have actually dropped twelve percent in the four years between two thousand twelve and two thousand sixteen. The drop comes as governments around the world, including the UK, have started to impose stricter regulations on the emissions being produced by cars including tougher penalties on older cars, especially diesel vehicles.
One of the main sources for the overall drop in the levels of nitrogen oxides has actually been due to the closure of several large coal-fired power stations. In addition, green group ClientEarth points out that despite the drop of twelve percent, the share of pollution that road transport provides has actually increased from thirty four percent in two thousand fifteen to four nine percent in two thousand sixteen.
Senior Campaigner, Andrea Lee told HuffPost UK: "The reduction in emissions is good news but it fails to tell the whole story. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide are still at illegal and harmful levels in our towns and cities, where the majority of people are exposed to it."
Sixteen cities around the UK (including London) are still breaching the European Union's limits on nitrogen oxides with London breaching its annual limit in just the first month. While the levels of nitrogen oxides have fallen, there is one area where people seeing a rise in emissions and that's in the levels of ammonia – caused mostly by farming.
A BBC investigation shows that senior NHS female doctors are earning less than their male counterparts. Of the top one hundred earning consultants in England, just five are women, despite more than a third of the workforce being female. The top-paid man earned nearly seventy hundred forty thousand pounds – two-and-a-half times that of the top woman.
On average, full-time women consultants earned nearly fourteen thousand pounds a year less than men – a pay gap of twelve percent. Senior female doctors described the findings as "disappointing" and said it showed more needs to be done to tackle the gender pay gap in medicine.
The figures were obtained by the BBC following requests to individual health trusts, the government and NHS Digital: The top earning male consultant in England earned seven hundred thirty nine thousand four hundred sixty pounds in two thousand sixteen and two thousand seventeen; the best paid woman got two hundred eighty one thousand six hundred sixteen pounds by comparison; on average, full-time men in England earned one hundred twenty seven thousand six hundred eighty three pounds, nearly fourteen thousand pounds more than full-time women.
In Northern Ireland the gap between men and women's gross earnings was over eight thousand pounds. Some doctors the BBC spoke to said some of the difference was probably down to the fact men were more likely to do overtime. But they said it was clear some of the gap was unfair with the system of bonuses and awards weighted in favour of men.
The Department of Health and Social Care said: "We are committed to ensuring that our hardworking doctors are rewarded fairly and equally for their work — regardless of gender — and have commissioned an independent report alongside the medical profession to examine exactly how that can be achieved."
