Attention Purchasers of Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes
Between May 23, 2011 and March 6, 2020
This Website may affect your rights. Please read it carefully.
A court authorized this Website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
This class action settlement will resolve a lawsuit against The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") involving Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes. The lawsuit contends that these wipes were inappropriately marketed as "flushable," "septic safe," and "safe for sewer and septic systems." The lawsuit seeks a court order to stop the practices and refund customers a portion of the purchase price. P&G denies these allegations and maintains that the wipes perform as advertised.
In connection with this Settlement, P&G agreed to make changes to the labeling of the wipes. In addition, P&G will provide Class Members a partial cash refund of (i) seventy cents ($0.70) per package purchased, up to $6.30 per Household without Proof of Purchase; or (ii) one dollar and twenty cents ($1.20) for the first package with Proof of Purchase (and $1.00 for any additional packages with Proof of Purchase), up to $50.20 per Household with Proof of Purchase.
The lawyers who brought the lawsuit will ask the Court for up to $3,200,000 to be paid to them by P&G as fees and expenses for investigating the facts, litigating the case, and negotiating the Settlement. They will additionally ask for $10,000 for the Plaintiff, Anthony Belfiore ("Plaintiff"), who initially brought this lawsuit. This will be requested as Class Representative Payment, to compensate the Plaintiff for taking on the risks of pursuing this litigation and for agreeing to a broader release of claims than other Settlement Class Members.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don't act. Read this Website carefully.
This Website summarizes the proposed settlement. For the precise terms and conditions of the Settlement, please see the Settlement Agreement available on this Website or contact the Claim Administrator by calling 1-833-930-2423 or writing to Belfiore v. P&G, PO Box 34880, Philadelphia, PA, 19101-4880, or contact Class Counsel at Wolf Popper LLP, 845 Third Avenue, New York NY 10022.

How Do I Get More Information?
1. How Do I Know If I Am Affected By The Litigation And The Settlement?
This case involves Charmin Freshmates Flushable Wipes and any other pre-moistened wipes sold under the Charmin brand name bearing the word "flushable" on the package label (the "Product"). For purposes of settlement only, the Court has certified a Settlement Class (the "Settlement Class"). You are a member of the Settlement Class ("Settlement Class Member") if, between May 23, 2011 and March 6, 2020, you purchased the Product anywhere in the State of New York. Your purchase cannot have been for purpose of resale.
The Settlement Class excludes (1) Honorable Pamela K. Chen, Honorable Jack B. Weinstein, Honorable Robert M. Levy, and Honorable Steven M. Gold, and any member of their immediate families; (2) any government entity; (3) P&G; (4) any entity in which P&G has a controlling interest; (5) any of P&G's subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, and officers, directors, employees, legal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns; and (6) any persons who timely elect to opt out of the Settlement Class. The Settlement also excludes persons who made their purchases outside of New York or those who purchased the Product for resale.
If you are a member of the Settlement Class, you will be bound by the Settlement and judgment in this case, unless you request to be excluded.
If the Settlement does not become effective (for example, because it is not Finally Approved, or the approval is reversed on appeal), then this litigation will continue on behalf of purchasers in New York. Specifically, a class of people who purchased the Product in New York between May 23, 2011 and March 1, 2017 has already been certified by the Court. To be clear, this class is somewhat different than the Settlement Class discussed above. It is defined as "All persons and entities who purchased Charmin Freshmates in the State of New York between May 23, 2011 and March 1, 2017." On this Website, this group will be referred to as the Class. Members of the Class have the same rights as all Settlement Class Members as explained on this Website, except that they will remain part of the case even if the settlement is rejected, as specified in the section "Special Notice for Members of the Class"
2. What Is The Lawsuit About?
Plaintiff asserts that, although the packaging on the Freshmates wipes states that the wipes are "flushable," "septic safe," and "safe for sewer and septic systems," the wipes are not suitable for disposal by flushing down a toilet, are not regarded as flushable by municipal sewage system operators, do not disperse upon flushing, and routinely damage or clog plumbing pipes, septic systems, and sewage lines and pumps. Plaintiff alleges that P&G is liable for violation of New York General Business Law § 349. Plaintiff seeks to pursue his claims on behalf of himself and others who purchased the Product in New York.
P&G denies that there is any factual or legal basis for Plaintiff's allegations. P&G contends that the labeling of the Product was truthful and non-misleading. P&G therefore denies any liability. P&G also denies that Plaintiff or any other members of the Settlement Class have suffered injury or are entitled to monetary or other relief.
The Court has not determined whether Plaintiff or P&G is correct.
3. What Does Plaintiff Seek To Recover In The Lawsuit?
The lawsuit contends that, if P&G had not engaged in the labeling, marketing, and advertising that Plaintiff challenges, the price of the Product would have been lower. Plaintiff seeks to recover, on behalf of a class of individuals who purchased the Product in New York (except for purchases made for resale), the dollar amount of the price "premium" that is attributable to the alleged misrepresentations.
P&G denies that there is any legal entitlement to a refund or any other monetary relief.
4. Why Is The Case Being Settled?
Plaintiff's counsel has investigated the manufacture, marketing, labeling, and performance of the Product. P&G has produced thousands of pages of documents for review by Plaintiff's counsel. In addition, Plaintiff's counsel has taken depositions of four of P&G's employees. The parties also have exchanged written responses to questions posed by the other party. Plaintiff's counsel has also obtained documents from third parties, including wastewater treatment professionals and INDA, the trade association for manufacturers of flushable wipes. Plaintiff also retained two experts to evaluate the Product and damages and have had extensive consultations with wastewater professionals. Five of Plaintiff's witnesses have been deposed, and both expert witnesses and a wastewater professional provided testimony before the Court on behalf of Plaintiff at evidentiary hearings.
Based on this investigation, Plaintiff's counsel has determined that there are significant risks of continuing the litigation. In particular, the appellate court may reverse the Court's order granting class certification. Additionally, there may be substantial difficulties establishing that: (1) P&G's marketing and advertising of the Product was likely to deceive or confuse reasonable persons about the performance of the Product; (2) the Product is not flushable according to how a reasonable consumer understands that term, (3) a reasonable consumer would find material the alleged effects of flushing the Product on sewer treatment facilities; and/or (4) damages or restitution should be awarded or, if so, that any such award should be more than nominal or more than the recovery to Settlement Class Members from the proposed settlement. In particular, it may be difficult to establish that the pricing of the Product would have been different had the marketing and labeling been different.
Since the initiation of this litigation, Plaintiff, through his counsel, and P&G participated in settlement conferences, including before third-party mediators. This Settlement was reached following those efforts.
After taking into account the risks and costs of further litigation, Plaintiff and his counsel believe that the terms and conditions of the Settlement are fair, reasonable, adequate, and equitable, and that the Settlement is in the best interest of the Settlement Class Members.
5. What Is The Settlement?
P&G has already made changes to the material used in manufacturing the Product and has agreed to make further changes to the labeling of the Product packaging. In particular, P&G has ceased manufacturing the Product in the formulation(s) that it used at the time the Action was commenced. Partly as a result of the litigation, P&G has also changed the composition of the wipes. P&G also has agreed to comply with more stringent industry-standard flushability testing protocols than existed when the litigation was filed.
Partly as a result of the litigation, P&G has modified the packaging of the Product to include a statement that "Your satisfaction is guaranteed. For details of our refund program go to our website at https://www.charmin.com/en-us/about-us/flushable-wipes-guarantee." P&G provides details regarding the satisfaction guarantee on the Charmin website, including reasonable purchase price refunds to consumers who are dissatisfied with the Product. P&G also modified the packaging of the Product to include the statement: "Use only in well-maintained plumbing systems".
Additionally, as a result of the Settlement, P&G has agreed to modify the packaging of the Product to exclude the statements "septic safe" and "safe for sewer and septic systems."
In addition, as part of the Settlement, P&G will provide partial refunds to Settlement Class Members and payments to Plaintiff's counsel ("Class Counsel") and the named Plaintiff, as described in the next sections.
6. What Can I Get In The Settlement?
If you file a Valid Claim without Proof of Purchase, you will receive seventy cents ($0.70) for each package of the Product that you purchased in New York between May 24, 2011 and March 6, 2020. Your total refund will be limited to $6.30 per Household. If you file a Valid Claim with Proof of Purchase, you will receive one dollar and twenty cents ($1.20) for the first package purchased in New York between May 24, 2011 and March 6, 2020, and $1.00 for any additional packages, up to $50.20 per Household.
"Proof of Purchase" means the actual label or bar code portion of the package of the Product (not a photocopy or digital image), or the original or photocopy or digital image of an itemized sales receipt originally generated by a retail seller showing the date and place of purchase, name of the product purchased, and the amount paid.
7. How Do I Make A Claim?
To make a claim, you must fill out the Claim Form available on this Website. You can submit the Claim Form online, unless you are providing Proof of Purchase by the actual label or bar code portion of the package, or you can print it and mail it to the Claim Administrator at: Belfiore v. P&G, c/o Claim Administrator, PO Box 34880, Philadelphia, PA. 19101-4880 . Claim Forms must be submitted online or received, not just postmarked, by August 22, 2020, the deadline may be extended.
8. What Do Plaintiff And His Lawyers Get?
To date, Class Counsel have not been compensated for any of their work on this case. Plaintiff's counsel will present evidence to the Court that they have spent more than 8,000 hours litigating this case. In addition, Class Counsel will present evidence that they have paid out-of-pocket expenses (including deposition transcript fees, court reporter fees, filing fees, service costs, copying costs, and travel expenses) of approximately $200,000. None of these expenses has yet been reimbursed. As part of the Settlement, Class Counsel may apply to the Court to award them up to $3,200,000 from P&G to pay their attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses, which presently amounts to a discount of over $2,000,000 from the amount of hours Class Counsel have expended on this litigation over the past 6 years multiplied by their usual hourly billing rates.
In addition, the Class Representative in this case may apply to the Court for a payment of $10,000. This payment is designed to compensate Plaintiff for the time, effort, and risks he undertook in pursuing this litigation and for executing a broader release of claims than other Settlement Class Members. Neither any award of fees and costs to Class Counsel nor any payment to the Class Representative will affect compensation to Settlement Class Members from the Settlement.
Plaintiff and his lawyers will file a motion with the Court on or before June 11, 2020 in support of their applications for attorneys' fees, costs and expenses and payment to the Plaintiff. A copy of that motion will be available on this Website.
The Court will determine the amount of fees, costs, expenses, and payment to the Plaintiff to award.
9. What Claims Are Released By The Settlement?
The Settlement releases all claims by Settlement Class Members against P&G and its affiliates that were or could have been asserted by Plaintiff in this case, and that relate to the flushability or the safety for sewer and septic of the Product, or to statements concerning the Product's flushability or safety for sewer and septic. This release includes claims that may not yet be known or suspected. However, there is no release of claims for personal injury or property damage (for example, costs of plumbing repairs) arising out of the use of the Product. For further information, please see Section 9.2 of the Settlement Agreement, available on this Website.
10. Can I Exclude Myself From The Settlement?
You can exclude yourself from the Settlement Class if you wish to retain the right to sue P&G separately for the claims released by the Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you cannot file a claim or object to the Settlement. You do not need to exclude yourself if you merely want to retain a right to sue for personal injury or property damage arising out of your use of the Product.
To exclude yourself, you must complete and submit the online form on this Website or mail a request to opt out of the Settlement to the Claim Administrator at Belfiore v. P&G, c/o Claim Administrator, PO Box 34880, Philadelphia, PA. 19101-4880 . If mailed, the exclusion request must contain your name, address, the words "I wish to be excluded from the Charmin Freshmates Class Action Settlement," and your signature.
If submitted online, exclusion requests must be made by June 25, 2020. If mailed, exclusion requests must be received (not postmarked) by June 25, 2020.
11. Can I Object To The Settlement?
You can ask the Court to deny approval of the Settlement by filing an objection. You can't ask the Court to order a larger settlement; the Court can only approve or deny the Settlement. If the Court denies approval to the entire settlement, no settlement payments will be made, and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object.
You can also ask the Court to disapprove the requested payment to Plaintiff and to his attorneys. If those payments are disapproved or adjusted, no additional money will be paid to the Settlement Class.
You may also appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for paying that attorney. To appear at the Final Approval Hearing, you need to file a written objection to the Settlement or a written request to the Court for permission to appear.
You can exercise any of the above options regardless of whether or not you file a claim, but not if you exclude yourself from the Settlement Class.
Any objection must include (1) the case name and number Belfiore v. Procter & Gamble Company, Case No. 2:14-cv-04090-PKC-RML (E.D.N.Y.); (2) your name, address, and telephone number; (3) documents or testimony sufficient to establish that you are a member of the Settlement Class; (4) a detailed statement of your objection(s), including the grounds for those objection(s); (5) a statement as to whether you are requesting the opportunity to appear and be heard at the Final Approval Hearing; (6) the name(s) and address(es) of all lawyers (if any) who (a) are representing you in making the objection, (b) may be entitled to compensation in connection with your objection, and/or (c) will appear on your behalf at the Final Approval Hearing; (7) the name(s) and address(es) of all persons (if any) who will be called to testify in support of your objection; (8) copies of any papers, briefs, or other documents upon which your objection is based if not already in the court file; (9) a detailed list of any other objections you or your counsel have submitted to any class action in any state or federal court in the United States in the previous five years (or affirmatively stating that no such prior objection has been made); and (10) your signature as objector, in addition to the signature of your attorney, if an attorney is representing you in connection with the objection. Failure to include this information and documentation may be grounds for overruling and striking your objection.
All written objections, requests to appear, and supporting papers must clearly identify the case name and number, Belfiore v. Procter & Gamble Company, Case No. 2:14-cv-04090-PKC-RML (E.D.N.Y.). They must be sent to the Claim Administrator or counsel for Plaintiff and P&G at the addresses shown on this Website, who will then file all objections, requests to appear, and supporting papers with the Court. Documents must be received, not merely postmarked, on or before June 25, 2020.
12. When Will The Court Decide If The Settlement Is Approved?
The Court will hold a hearing on July 23, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. to consider whether to approve the Settlement. The hearing will be held in Courtroom 4F North at the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, before the Honorable Pamela K. Chen. The hearing is open to the public. However, only persons who have filed an objection or a request to appear at the hearing may actually address the Court. This hearing date may change without further notice to you. Consult this Website or the Court docket in this case at ecf.nyed.uscourts.gov (perform a case number query using case number 2:14-cv-04090) for updated information on the hearing date and time.
13. Special Notice For Members Of The Class
As noted above, the Class is different than the Settlement Class and includes "all persons and entities who purchased Charmin Freshmates in the State of New York between May 23, 2011 and March 1, 2017." This section provides further information about the rights of the members of the Class.
All sections of this Website apply to you. You have the right to make a claim under this Settlement, object to the Settlement, or exclude yourself, just like other members of the Settlement Class.
If the Settlement is not approved, or if the Effective Date does not occur for any other reason, as further explained in the Settlement Agreement, and you have not excluded yourself from the Settlement, the litigation will continue on your behalf as a member of the Class. The Court has already appointed Plaintiff Anthony Belfiore and Class Counsel to represent your interests.
If the litigation continues, and a judgment is obtained against the Class in favor of P&G, that judgment will prevent you from bringing a separate lawsuit against P&G for the claims that were or could have been litigated in this case. If judgment is obtained against P&G in favor of the Class, and you are entitled to any portion of that judgment, you will receive further notification about your rights.

El pensamiento simbólico es la capacidad de representar mentalmente el entorno de acuerdo con la experiencia, las asociaciones mentales de recompensa o castigo del comportamiento.

Pensamiento simbólico en la prehistoria
Hasta finales del siglo XX se le atribuía esta capacidad en exclusiva al Homo sapiens,  aunque hay autores que también lo atribuyen a otras especies del género, tales como neandertales y pre neandertales.

Homo sapiens

Ejemplos del pensamiento simbólico del sapiens son las pinturas en cavernas de Europa desde hace más de 32 000 años, pero también el uso de ocre desde hace unos 100 000 años encontrado en la cueva Blombos en Cape Coast, 300 km al este de Ciudad del Cabo (Sudáfrica), este hecho muestra un modo sistemático para obtener pigmentos, pues reunir todos los elementos necesarios para una preparación de este tipo, es indicativo de un elevado nivel de pensamiento, que se puede llamar pensamiento simbólico. «La capacidad de tener estos pensamientos es considerado un gran paso en la evolución humana, precisamente lo que nos diferenció del mundo animal».

Homo neanderthalensis
La mente simbólica de los neandertales parece un hecho claro debido a hechos como los enterramientos, los grabados y a un, muy probable, uso del lenguaje.

En la cueva Antón y en la cueva de los Aviones se han encontrado restos de conchas marinas perforadas y teñidas con ocre, traídas desde kilómetros de distancia. También se ha encontrado industria lítica. Debido a estos descrubrimientos, y similares de otros yacimientos, se ha planteado la existencia de un pensamiento simbólico por parte de la especie Homo neanderthalensis.

En la cueva de Renne (Francia) se encontraron restos de neandertales y un collar realizado con dientes y huesos de zorro perforados que, en un principio fueron datados en 34 000 años, esto hizo que las opiniones de existencia de pensamiento simbólico se dividiesen en los que creían que sería un objeto «prestado» de los sapiens coetáneos y los que pensaban que eran plenamente neandertales. Cincuenta años después se pudieron hacer nuevas estimaciones y se ofreció como nueva fecha de los fósiles y los objetos asociados los 42 000 años. Así no cabría duda del origen neandertal del collar.

Homo heilderbengensis

En la Sima de los Huesos de Atapuerca se encontró en 1998 un bifaz de cuarcita roja que según los autores del descubrimiento podría ser un «objeto simbólico», lo que conferiría a Homo heidelbergensis pensamiento simbólico, en este caso relacionado con la muerte.

Xcode 8 disables the ability to run 3rd party plugins (such as Alcatraz), in favor of providing an official extensions API. From what I've heard, it sounds like the Xcode engineers are open to community feedback and want to provide the extension points that the community needs. This is great for security and for preventing the next XcodeGhost 👻, however, only the source editor extension is available right now, which means that some of our favorite community plugins are disabled after upgrading to Xcode 8.
These plugins are prevented from running because Xcode 8 is signed to prevent any unsigned code from being injected and executed (which is how community plugins work). We can enable plugins again by unsigning Xcode, but once Xcode is unsigned, we lose the security benefits that come with Apple's changes. So, what can we do?
The plugins that I use are things that I want to have while I am actively developing, and the security benefits I only really care about when I am building deployment builds for a beta or public release.
In light of this, I've created xcunsign. This is a small tool that unsigns (and later restores) an installation of Xcode. With it, I can unsign while I'm actively coding and debugging, and then restore to the signed binary before I build a deployment. Even better, I can integrate xcrestore into my fastlane configuration, so that I know that all deployment builds will be built with the signed Xcode binary.
Download the repo from github and optionally include the scripts in your PATH.
To unsign, call the script, passing in the version of Xcode that you want to unsign. The script will find the copy of Xcode in the /Applications directory with that version, and unsign it. It will keep a copy of the original, signed binary as Xcode.signed next to the unsigned binary as Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode.signed.
This will also update your Xcode installation's icon, to indicate that Xcode is currently in an unsigned state.
To restore the signed binary, the original copy of the Xcode binary will replace the unsigned copy, restoring your Xcode installation to its original, "official" state.
This will also restore Xcode's icon to the standard icon, to indicate that you are again running a signed copy of Xcode.
If you are doing your deployments from a CI machine, you should keep that installation always signed. If you ever need to do a deployemnt locally though, you'll want to verify that you are building with a signed copy of Xcode. Fastlane has an action called verify_xcode which can be used to fail the build if Xcode is currently unsigned. Just add this action to your Fastfile to guarantee that you are shipping with a signed copy.
You could also call xcrestore from the Fastfile's before_all and call xcunsign from the after_all so that your development environment is restored after a build is completed. I'm planning to wrap this into a fastlane plugin, and will put up a new post when that is ready.

Press release: Cornerstone Capital Group Introduces New Framework to Measure Impact of Investments
Cornerstone Capital Group ("Cornerstone"), an SEC-registered investment advisor helping investors simultaneously achieve their financial and societal objectives without sacrificing investment performance, today announced the launch of The Cornerstone Access Impact FrameworkTM. The Framework represents a new approach to investing in alignment with the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs").
The Cornerstone Access Impact Framework™ uses a proprietary methodology to measure and report on how investments facilitate access to the systems and resources required to achieve the SDGs. The notion of access represents the single common denominator to moving capital to achieve the SDGs. The Access Impact Framework offers an integrated impact reporting solution for both existing client portfolios and the construction of new SDG-aligned portfolios.
"Measurement is a critical aspect of impact investing and yet, historically, investors have struggled to understand the societal implications of their investments," said Erika Karp, Founder and CEO of Cornerstone. "We created the Access Impact Framework to provide clients with a way to understand how their investments align with the issues that matter most to them. It provides a tool to help catalyze the flow of capital to address the world's most pressing environmental and social challenges as embodied by the SDGs."
The Access Impact Framework™, the development of which was led by Katherine Pease, Managing Director, Head of Impact Strategy, and Craig Metrick, Managing Director, Institutional Consulting and Research, is rooted in a quantitative analysis of company-level ESG data and a proprietary assessment of industry-level relevancy to 11 access themes, developed by Cornerstone, which serve to translate the SDGs into investable opportunities. This bottom-up analysis is paired with a narrative and analysis of each fund manager/strategy highlighting the alignment of their own organization's policies and investment activities related to these access themes.
"The United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals were designed as a global consensus on the essential needs facing societies and the planet, and the SDGs provide a blueprint to governments and NGOs seeking to deploy resources to address those needs," said Pease. "The role of private investment, however, was not clearly captured in the process of outlining these goals and it has become increasingly clear that full participation from the private sector is required. The Access Impact Framework measures impact in a way that aligns better with corporate behavior, enabling investors to play a critical role in advancing and achieving the SDGs."

Meet the Only Squid that Willfully Lops off its Arms

by Danielle Hall
Lopping off one's arm sounds like a harrowing experience, but for one deep-sea squid, it's a matter of life or death.
When hiding from predators doesn't do the trick, a squid has several other defense mechanisms at its disposal. It can startle an oncoming predator, physically attack it, move erratically to confuse it, play dead, flee, or, in the case of the deep-sea squid Octopoteuthis deletron, sever ties with a body part.

(© 2009 MBARI)
O. deletron is the only squid known to purposefully lose one of its eight arms as a way to escape a predator. It may seem like a dramatic antic, but the jettisoned arm likely serves as a distraction, allowing the squid to stealthily escape. When attacked or threatened the squid will grasp the predator, sever the arm at the point of contact, and often jet away after releasing a cloud of ink to mask its movement. The arm, now separate from the body and suspended in the water, will wriggle for up to half a minute, its tips conspicuously glowing in the dark from bioluminescent photophores. The intense darkness of the deep ocean is so pervasive that the slightest light, like the light emitted from a squid arm, is intriguing enough to draw the attention of a predator.
Self-amputation, or autotomy, is not unique to this squid. Lizards will drop a tail to escape an attack, and some coastal octopuses will even drop an entire arm to avoid becoming a meal. But O. deletron is unique in that it does not sever its entire arm, rather, it will only sever the length that has contact with the predator.
MBARI
Stephanie Bush, now a scientist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, studied these unique squids for about a decade. She determined that O. deletron has evolved this tactic in what she calls "economy of autotomy"— being stingy about the length of the arm that is parted with. Severing an entire arm is costly. It means the squid has less maneuverability and propulsion, a hindrance to grabbing food or avoiding predators in the first place. Severing the smallest arm portion necessary means that the squid can maximize its ability to partake in day-to-day activities.
It also means it takes less time and energy to perform at maximum capacity once again. In addition to being able to sever their arms, O. deletron can also regrow them, which is a pretty nifty trick considering 27 percent of observed O. deletrons in the wild had at least one arm lopped off, and some had all eight. Growing the missing arms back is an important adaptation if all arms could potentially be lost.
The existence of this incredible squid is also a reminder that exploring the deep ocean is often like traveling to an alien world. On our own planet, there are creatures waiting to be discovered and amaze us with their ingenuity.

"Glam Rock 101 – Wolves in Women's Clothing: The Differences between GLAM-rock & glam-RAWK"
Posted by Julia Swanson on May 23, 2012 April 23, 2019
"Personally one of my favourites, Brian Eno, for this category who looks just kind of creepy… and then there's Glam RAWK, with Gary Glitter, who is actually quite creepy," said Akimenko.
"Have you guys heard of David Bowie? …OF COURSE YOU HAVE! That's Glam Rock," said Vadim Akimenko at the start of his Nerdnite talk, "Glam Rock 101 – The differences between GLAM-rock & Glam-RAWK,"
"Come on Feel the Noise." He said, taking a long sip out of one of the glasses he had on a stool next to him, "That's actually a Glam Rock Song."
"We've got three of these to take care of," Akimenko said as he adjusted the mic stand. Going on, he explained that Glam Rock was really big in the 70's in England, and although it influenced many musicians over the years it never really made it big anywhere else.
There are two branches of Glam Rock, "GLAM-rock," and, "Glam-RAWK," and the difference between them is a very subtle one. "Glam-RAWK was rooted in the 50's music, much more full on party music," he said, "While GLAM-rock is much more rooted in artsier sounds."
He highlighted the difference as he talked about groups like Roxy Music and David Bowie, versus Slade and Gary Glitter citing them as examples of the difference between the two sub categories. Akimenko explained that David Bowie and Roxy Music were more on the arty experimental side, "they put emphasis on not only the music and having a good time, but pushed the boundaries." While Gary Glitter and Slade were more straight up Rock and Roll party music, "and much more hard driving. There is a general rambunctiousness to the sound," he said.
But the biggest and most obvious difference between the two is the clothing. Although, Glam-RAWK he described as being more conservative while GLAM-rock was the more outrageous of the two they both seem equally outrageous in their own way.
From there, the talk became a little more free form as Akimenko jumped back and forth from band to band drawing connections and highlighting the importance of Gary Glitter, and responding to random commentary and questions from the audience. As his lecture evolved into a highly entertaining long train of thought, and almost became performance art he said, "I kind of got lost because that's what I do when I talk about music, I totally get lost and I go on tangents."
The audience laughed as Akimenko repeated a question, "Why is Gary Glitter so important?…" he said, "Because he has three fucking songs, but he made that into a three decade career."
He paused for a drink and said in a more serious tone, "No, it actually has to do with how much influence he had on everything."
"So, this is the awesome David Bowie… it's Star Trek… yea, yea Diamond Dogs!," he said. (more custom art from his talk)
Akimenko went on to talk about Rock and Roll part 1 & 2 as examples of Gary Glitters longevity and which are regularly played in stadiums to this day. "Part one is far superior, but they don't ever play it in the United States" he said. He explained that Gary Glitter has influenced other bands with songs like, "Do you wanna touch me," "You're Beautiful," and Joan Jett's, "I Love Rock and Roll."
Even though it didn't have a major presence in the United States, Glam Rock hit it big in the Mid West, influencing bands like Kiss and Alice Cooper eventually spawning the hair metal bands of the 80's. "You've all heard of Kiss!? Direct influence of Slade," he said, "You've all heard of Alice Cooper!? Direct influence of Slade."
Even Punk rock was rolled into the mix as he talked about how The Ramones were directly influenced by GLAM rock. " Um… Dee Dee and Joey, both in Glam Rock bands before they were in anything else," he said.
Akimenko's passion for music was winning and although he said, "I don't usually talk to a lot of people about this, because most people walk away at this point." He was just kind of a cool dude who was excited to talk to people about something he loved. Listening to him talk about music, tattoos, and pause for uncontrollable laughter while lamenting his lack of computer savvy, and wrestling with the mic stand, it felt like we were hanging out with a friend at a party. For some people his talk was kind of a "train wreck," but I am going to call it very "Rock and Roll" and ultimately I think it had the kind of DIY unpretentious feel that Nerdnite is all about.

Funny, because Bowie cited Alice Cooper in his 72 Melody Maker "I'm gay" interview. Way before Slade hit the scene, Alice Cooper was blending vaudville with rock and partying with The Faces and Iggy Pop.

Surviving the Holidays After Losing a Loved One
When a loved one dies and condolence visits from family and friends have dwindled, often the bereaved are left trying to piece their lives back together. For those grieving the loss of a loved one, the holidays can be an especially
difficult time.
Blue Ridge Hospice's Grief Support Staff is offering workshops in Winchester and Front Royal throughout November designed to help individuals and families prepare for a holiday season without their loved one. All grief support offerings are open to the public and free of charge.
"The reason we offer these workshops is because every year around October we see an increase in people seeking grief counseling," explains Christina Thomas, a Blue Ridge Hospice Grief Support Counselor, "The holidays are when we take time to be with our loved ones. It's where we have a lot of our memories of family. We recognize the need to talk about how grief may look different during this time of year."
Surviving the Holiday workshops are for adults, and will occur on November 12 in Front Royal and November 21 in Winchester, Va. Preparing for the Holidays as a Family workshop is for families with children ages 4–17. Using music and other activities, families will have the opportunity to identify and work through feelings associated with their loss in preparation of the holiday season. All holiday workshops require pre-registration by calling 540-313-9214 or emailing
info@blueridgehospice.org.
Thomas states, "In these workshops we focus on creating a plan. Instead of focusing on the holidays being 'easier' we want you to feel they are possible. That although you are grieving, you can get through them in the way that you want and the way that makes the most sense to you."
Blue Ridge Hospice's Grief Support Services are made possible through generous donations from the community. For a full list of grief support offerings, visit brhospice.org or

Blue Ridge Singers Christmas Concerts
The Blue Ridge Singers, a non-profit chamber choir in its eleventh season, invites the community to two Christmas concerts this season, "Canticum Novum: Sing a New Song." A December 13 concert in Front Royal will be performed at Front Royal Presbyterian Church, located at 115 Luray Ave. at 7:30pm. A December 15 concert in Winchester will be at First Baptist Church, located at 205 W. Piccadilly St., at 4pm. Concerts are free to the public; the suggested donation is $10. A reception for all will immediately follow the performances. Visit www.blueridgesingers.org for more information.
The choir's members come from Hagerstown, Berryville, Boyce, Winchester, Front Royal and surrounding townships. Along with the two scheduled concerts in Front Royal and Winchester, they have performed for Westminster Canterbury and The Village at Orchard Ridge, and more informally as carolers at Christmas in Front Royal at several assisted living locations.
Dr. Jeffrey Alban, artistic director for the tone of the Christmas concert series, explained that the choir will explore a new harmonic language through the music of Gerald Near. "Prominent in this music is the juxtaposition of melodies of Latin Gregorian chant with polyphonic choral settings of more common Christmas carols," he said. "The choir is accompanied by the organ with a good deal of intense, but controlled dissonance. Because of the non-metric nature of Gregorian chant, the music is rhythmically challenging as well.
"The choir will contrast this style with a variety of works featuring Renaissance polyphony, a 19th-century chorale and fugue by Johannes Brahms and contemporary settings of carols, old and new. This will be an eclectic, but enjoyable program, with something for everyone."

Can we share the Earth with other humans? This question is the defining political question of the 21st century. This century is the century of either mass genocide, or mass cooperation. It will be one or the other. As sea levels rise, as societies strain, as governments crumble, people movements will overrun the Earth and refugees will seek shelter in safer places.
It is up to us how we respond to this reality. Will we put those refugees in camps? Will we let them die on their own?
Or will we respond with cooperation and with an urge to preserve civilization?
Can we share the Earth with other species? Scientists have concluded that to preserve ecosystemic harmony, half of the Earth needs to be left alone and given back to Nature. This will permit the global biosphere to recover.
Can we find it in ourselves to share half of the Earth with other species, even if we consider them lower sentience? Do we even know enough about the Earth to rank sentience, in some sort of bizarre hierarchy that puts humans on top? Do the forests think? Do dolphins fall in love? Have we even thought to ask these questions?
Can we share the Earth with future generations? The fate of the human race will be decided in the next 50 years. If we do nothing, and sit on our hands, the human race will go extinct. There may no longer be future generations of humans, and if there are, they will have an extremely difficult time living on this Earth.
We have to change our ways, and we have to do it now.
Do we have it in us to share the Earth with future generations?

80K students provided cyber literacy training by KPMG
KPMG International provided cyber literacy training for 80,000 youth in 45 countries in 2nd annual program
KPMG International hosted 2nd annual KPMG Cyber Day initiative in schools around the world during International Cyber Security Awareness Month.
For the second year running, KPMG cyber security professionals from 45 countries around the world led informative sessions aimed at educating young students about the importance of cyber security and internet risk. The initiative Global Cyber Day was held during October, which is known as International Cyber Security Awareness Month.
"Our cyber security professionals from around the world have put the 'fun' in cyber security fundamentals for students," said Akhilesh Tuteja, who Co-Leads KPMG's Global Cyber Security practice, along with Greg Bell. "The cyber security lessons provided a real opportunity for young students to engage with individuals who have deep skills and knowledge about issues facing this generation."
Given the tremendous success of the inaugural KPMG Cyber Day initiative held on a single day last October, this year KPMG expanded the program to make every Friday in October a KPMG Cyber Day. This enabled KPMG to reach even more students with cyber lessons developed by KPMG's Global Cyber Security Practice.
"Global CEOs we've interviewed for our latest CEO Outlook, and those I speak with recognize the critical role they play in their businesses being cyber secure," said Bill Thomas, Global Chairman, KPMG. "Cyber security can no longer simply be left to the IT department, smart businesses know every employee has to be digital now and alert to the dangers. We all play a role in helping to ensure the business leaders of tomorrow are cyber safe. That's why I'm tremendously proud of the program our people have delivered in classrooms all around the world."
In a digital age where many young people are logging long hours of screen-time, it is critical that government bodies, parents, teachers, organisations and industry experts all work together to arm them with the information they need to stay safe online and offline. According to the Children's Internet Study, conducted by The Centre for Cyber Safety and Education, 40% of children have connected or chatted with a stranger online; 53% of them revealed their phone number to a stranger, 11% met with a stranger and 6% revealed their home address.
"Our global approach to citizenship prioritizes Quality Education and Lifelong Learning in line with the Sustainable Development Goals," said Lord Dr. Michael Hastings, Global Head of Corporate Citizenship, KPMG. "The more we do today to collectively advance the competence and knowledge of today's youth on cyber security, the better we can prepare these future leaders to meet tomorrow's challenges and be part of the confident digital future."
The Global Cyber Day program was also implemented in Cyprus. KPMG cyber security professionals visited 23 schools across the island and delivered educational presentations to more than 3.500 students, ages 7-16. The curriculums, tailored according to students' age, delivered valuable lessons on how students can stay safe online and how to champion the protection of their own personal data and online security.
This year's topics focused on social media, online identity protection, cyber bullying, online gaming and cyber threats, factors that can affect schoolchildren and teenagers in their everyday life.
Due to increased demand, the program will continue in the upcoming months, aiming to reach a larger number of students.

China: Yunnan: #1 Back to Kunming
Jan4 by JT & DY
In between the two treks written up already in the posts on Mongolia and The Great Wall of China Walk, I had a week off, just enough time to jump on a plane and head from Beijing to Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province in the SW corner of China. One of my college-day mates, Ross, has been in China for a number of years teaching English, so I didn't need a better reason to make the detour.
DSC00726 © DY of jtdytravels
As I waited for my plane, I couldn't help but notice that Beijing's domestic terminal is very open and spacious compared with Sydney's cramped 'reach-up-and-touch-the-ceiling' terminal. Sydney's main gateway to Australia is nothing more than a debacle.
Beijing was beginning to get rather smoggy again. Just before I'd arrived in China ten days earlier, the Government had closed industry down to clear the air for the events that celebrated the 70 years since the Chinese defeated the Japanese. But now the smog was settling once more. It was a good time to be getting out of Beijing.
The three and a half hour flight was totally uneventful – just the way I like it!
As we flew closer to Kunming, I noticed that the outskirts are covered with tunnel houses used mostly for growing cut flowers. These tunnels reminded me of my visit to Kunming during the 1999 World Horticultural Exposition... an impressive show.
The most memorable part of that Expo for me, was seeing the many display gardens and buildings that represented each of the ethnic groups of China. The vast majority of these groups live in Yunnan Province and, on that tour in 1999, we travelled through many of those ethnic areas as we moved northwards through the province.
As the plane came into land in Kunming, I was wondering what experiences I would enjoy this time round. I knew that something special had been planned for me.
Ross (right) and his house mate Kenzo were waiting for me as I emerged into the arrivals hall. It's always good to be met by friends when away from home.
We caught an airport express bus into the centre of the city and then a taxi to their apartment. The view from their abode on the 15th floor of an apartment block is quite open compared with many. At least they have a long view and see a green swathe of trees and not just the back of more apartments. As with many Chinese cities, this is a city that's had a huge building boom, mostly of apartments, many unoccupied. Ross told me that there are reports of 73 million unoccupied apartments in China.
Map of Yunnan
Kunming is the capital of the SW Chinese province of Yunnan and is now a very big city… back in the 2011 census, the population was 6,486,400 and it's much larger now. From the map it's fairly obvious that Yunnan is bordered by Burma, Laos, Tibet and Vietnam as well as other Chinese Provinces. That makes Kunming the centre of political, economic, communications, culture and transport for the whole of SW China. It has road links to Burma and Laos and a rail link to Vietnam.
The city's history goes back 2,400 years although it hasn't always been called Kunming. It began as an important crossroads for the caravan routes on the Southern Silk Road that linked South-east Asia to Tibet and India.
The name Kunming was given to the city during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) although at that time it wasn't under Chinese rule. That came 200 years later, in the 14th Century, when the Ming Dynasty rulers (1368-1644) defeated the Mongols.
Kunming became much more important many centuries later when the rail link to Haiphong in North Vietnam (then still part of French Indochina) was built in 1910. That rail link has had a chequered career! It was cut during World War 1, restored in 1957, cut again in 1979, and reopened in 1996.
In the 1930's, roads were built linking Kunming with Chongqing in Sichuan and Guiyang in Guizhou. This road opened the way for a large influx of population. In 1937, when the Second Sino-Japanese war broke out, many rich east coast Chinese flooded into south-west China. They brought dismantled factories with them and re-erected them in Kunming because it was out of the range of the Japanese bombers. A number of universities were also moved to Kunming. As a result Kunming became an important industrial and manufacturing centre and a centre for education.
During the Second World War, Kunming acted as an Allied command centre, which grouped the Chinese, American, British and French forces together.
After the Second World War, Kunming had another period of rapid development with the construction of large iron and steel and chemical complexes. It also became an important supply depot during the Vietnam War.
Until 1952, Kunming was a walled city. In that year the city government ordered hundreds of young people to tear down the old wall and use the bricks to build a new North-South road.
Right up until Mao Zedong's death in September 1976, Kunming, a somewhat remote city, was used as a place to exile political prisoners.
During the 1980's and 1990's the Swiss helped rebuild the city centre into its current 'modern' style. In 1999, Kunming was 'put on the map', by the staging of the World Horticultural Exposition that I mentioned earlier.
Next morning, Ross left at 09.00 to tutor 'one-on-one' a 15 year old Chinese student who is being sent to New Zealand by his wealthy parents (they own a Rolls Royce!).
That left Kenzo and me to go exploring. We decided to catch the bus into the CBD, the stop being just a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
On our way to the bus stop, we had to cross the road, helped by the guy in the hi-vis vest on the left in the photo. When the lights changed, he swung that blue banner out into the middle of the road stopping the traffic… and we walked safely across.
There was much to see from the bus as we took the forty minute ride to the CBD. At one point a special cleaning machine came towards us cleaning the barrier in the centre of the road…. quite ingenious.
Among the many modern buildings in 'downtown' Kunming is this modern 'Pagoda style' structure. A new take on traditional architecture.
I was impressed with the horticultural treatment of the median strips in the city.
Citizens are encouraged to keep their city clean and tidy… they do, and it is.
I wasn't so impressed with their cabling – although, actually, this IS impressive!
We were heading on the bus to the main Kunming Railway Station to buy tickets in readiness for a proposed trip to Jianshui next day. At the ticket office, I had to show my passport and Kenzo had to produce his ID Card before the tickets could be issued. When that little exercise was over, we caught a bus part way back to the apartment… but only part way. Some more walking was in order.
On the way, we walked by this old Military Academy.
We resisted the temptation to enter this ornate gate… an entrance to a park. It's not often that I bypass a park but we were to meet Ross for lunch, so walked on.
It was very interesting walking through streets like this in the older part of the city. But we couldn't linger long. It was time for our lunch appointment with Ross. And after that, we would explore the grounds of Kunming University… more of that anon.

Here we go, another 'x steps in becoming ..' article; however here is my take on 7 steps to opting out of the job paradigm. Before I really begin here is a huge disclaimer: I am currently employed full time, really enjoying what I do whilst still helping local businesses with their online advertising and website management needs. Disclaimer here is that there are plenty good jobs and employers out there no matter where you live and there is absolutely nothing wrong in earning your living as an employee.
This also works for anyone who is looking at parallel opportunities and additional income outside of the standard 9 to 5 grind.
Build your unique ability and become an expert at it.
All of us are born with something we're better at than other things. As children, we were good at certain things and enjoyed immersing ourselves in it. We live in the world where our unique ability can earn us lots of money via that great channel called Internet – YouTube, social media. Writing, gardening, investing, what is it for you?
Have a plan – a vision for greater you.
Set SMART goals in life – Specific, Measurable, Affect, Realistic and Timed.
Only 5% of people have goals set in life, what are your goals, what do you want to achieve in life?
Chinese saying: 'when the student is ready, master will appear'. Most successful people want to share their successes and all you have to be is a good listener. There are mentors everywhere, in your community, industry, they're around; all you gotta do is ask them. All successful people have a mentor, sports people have coaches don't they?
Ready, fire and then aim?!.
Nothing is ever going to perfect, dive in as soon as possible and start doing.
I expand this one with a caveat – never give up till you've realised with great certainty that what you're doing is just not going to work and get onto the next thing, hence – never give up. One of Google's founders Sergey Brin said that if you're going to fail at something, you want to do that as quickly as possible so you can move onto the next thing. Brin said this in the context of one of their failures where they invented a system to send a fax over an internet to order pizza! If Google founders failed before inventing Google, I think it's fair to say that anyone is allowed to do that before succeeding.

Within the cells of basidiomycete fungi are found microscopic structures called parenthesomes or septal pore caps. They are shaped like parentheses and found on either side of pores in the dolipore septum which separates cells within a hypha. Their function has not been established, and their composition has not been fully elucidated. The variations in their appearance are useful in distinguishing individual species.

Q: Is there a way to change from click to hover on my thumbnail gallery? I made a thumbnail gallery using EasyZoom.
But the event is onclick and i really would love to make it on hover
HTML

Full code on codepen
I expect it to be hover not click

A: Just change line 350
    $('.thumbnails').on('mouseover', 'a', function(e) {

However, this changes the "target" img on 'mouseover'. The EasyZoom seems to be working by itself 'onmouseover'

Should psychiatrists diagnose personality disorder?
Personality disorder is a controversial diagnosis. There are no blood tests or physical criteria confirming personality disorder. In fact there's no real evidence to suggest that personality disorder is a medical condition at all. So why do psychiatrists diagnose personality disorder? More importantly… should they?
Here we consider the roots of personality disorder diagnoses from the Moral defective of a century ago to the 3 personality disorder clusters of today. We look at the way personality disorder is diagnosed through behaviours, emotions and enduring patterns of response to society and we consider the advantages of understanding a person's personality traits. Knowledge is power.
The more we know the more likely we are to be able to help. But we must be careful. Too often the diagnosis of personality disorder is used as an excuse to write a person off as incurable, hopeless or even undeserving. That's the legacy we've been left by our Edwardian and Victorian predecessors.
If we are to do right by the personality disordered patients of today and in the future we need to embrace the understanding this diagnosis can bring but reject the pejorative notions of undeservingness, incurability and hopelesness that all too often come along with it.

Batman Investigating Crimes
Batman: "The red speck appears to be chile and the green speck is avocado. Do you know what that means?"
Batman puzzling over a clue: "It must be something connected with his trying to tell us something."
Batman: "This librarian has been bound in the ancient Thuggee tradition."
Batman: "We just dropped in for that Small Batcave Improvement Loan that you mentioned, but in view of the strange criminal activity that seems to be transpiring here..."
Bruce: "It looks like undesirable elements have once again infiltrated the manly art of self-defense."
Batman: "Ingenious! This criminal mirth issues from a tiny super-powered loudspeaker built into your left cufflink."
Batman: "Just as I expected. The agile crook also managed to slip an induction receiving antenna into your left trouser leg."
Batman: "The next time your chief teller goes out for a sandwich and sends a stranger back in his place, scrutinize him carefully. I'm sure I speak for the chairman of the board, millionaire Bruce Wayne, in saying that you owe that to all of your depositors."
Batman: "It's staring us right in our masks."
Batman, about Puzzler: "There's a method to his misdemeanors."
Batman: "It looks like we're getting closer to the heart of this criminal artichoke."
Batman: "Before we set brain and sinew to this perplexing case, let's review all the facts."
Batman: "Just what are you doing, and to whom are you doing it?"
Batman, analyzing a bullet in the wall: "Judging from the trajectory of the angle, and figuring the wind at six knots per hour north by northeast as per this morning's weather report...X times six squared...over...logarithm of that...yes! You see? It came from that room on that floor!"
Batman: "We've come a long way from the Prime Minister's exploding cake. Or have we?"
Batman: "I'm certain this is the first stitch in a large tapestry of crime."
Batman: "The Catwoman has unsheathed her claws again."
Robin: "What do you think, Batman? Has the Penquin really gone straight?"
Batman: "It's a tough one. When that bird turned snow white it could merely be a tricky white-wash job."
Batman: "I observed the recoil of that umbrella gun. Obviously, its angular momentum was inadequate for the mass of a real bullet."
Robin: "What's the plan, Batman?"
Batman: "Routine crime detection."
Gordon: "You make something of this enigma, Batman?"
Batman: "It sticks out like Penguin's nose."
Bruce Wayne: "Catwoman has returned to besmirch the name of our fair metropolis."
Batman: "If my calculations are correct..."
Robin: "They usually are."
Batman: "...Someone should be coming through that window within the next six seconds."
Batman: "There is a large mural here and one small piece of canvas must be brushed in before we can get the entire picture."
Batman: "When fighting crime even the most minute detail must not be ignored."
Robin: "Batman, look! What skinny macaroni!"
Batman: "No, it's spaghetti, Robin. A variety of alimentary paste, larger then bernachelli but not as tubular as macaroni."
Robin: "Ghoti is fish?"
Batman: "See here. English phonetics. GH becomes F, as in tough or laugh. O becomes I as in women. TI becomes SH as in ration or the word nation."
Robin: "Holy semantics, Batman. You never cease to amaze me!"
Batman: "No time for compliments, Robin. We must thwart some criminals. To the Batmobile!"
Batman, hearing gunshots across town: "I think we're going to be a little late for that lecture to the Crime Prevention League, Robin."
Batman: "To the alley!"
Batman: "To the spa!"
Batman: "I did a little extracurricular crime-detecting while Dick Grayson was doing his homework."

Who is the boy with that crazy hair style?
Born and started to think in 2004, I'm a student in the 8th grade at my school. This is also the place where I first got in contact with all these stupid letters and numbers, simply called code. It happened when I was around ten years old.
Because of my parents who are both doing some design stuff btw I began to figure that out as well, especially in the area of User Interface design. But I've also solved some jobs in logo and branding design.
Skills are not just about having the knowledge it's also about getting the experience. This is why I like to try out many things every single day and getting much more practical knowledge.
Here is a list of things I can and I love to work with. For more information on this topic you can check out my resume.


By default, the folder we need is hidden. You won't be able to navigate to it manually – unless you've already changed Windows folder options and set hidden files and folders to display.
to your folder bar, where 'login_name' is the account name you're logged in under.
I recommend creating a shortcut to this location on your desktop. I find myself going to this folder all the time. But not just for crash files!
Maya saves crash files here in Windows 10. But this folder is a scratch folder that is also used by programs to write temporary files to disk as you work.
This is no big deal – except programs that crash don't clean up their temporary files. And some programs just flat out don't clean up their temp files at all!
This means that this folder can grow to gigabytes in size! All clogging up your C drive. And if you're using an SSD drive (which I highly recommend) you are probably already hurting for disk space.
So let's delete the extra data in our temp folder. If you sort the folder by file size, you may see some really big files float to the top. Adobe Premiere and Photoshop save temp working files here, so do Autodesk's Maya and Mudbox. That means you may have gigabytes of files stored in this hidden folder.
And since it is all temporary files, it is safe to delete all of it! I regularly clean out this folder just to recapture space on my disk. I simply select everything and hit Delete.
You will get an error about certain files and folder currently in-use in Windows – if so, just skip them and clean out the rest.

Global blood grouping reagent market: Blood grouping reagents are the essential testing reagents which are used by hospitals and the blood banks. They are used in determination and identification of antibody type in patient's and donors' blood, in order to ensure effective and safe transfusion of blood. Blood grouping reagents are indicated for determination of the Rh type and ABO blood group from donor's blood. Blood grouping reagents are made up of antibodies which are derived from in-vitro cultures of hybridomas of human and murine origin and also includes antigens to act against blood groups A, B, A & B, D, Anti-C, Anti-c, Anti-E, Anti-e, and Anti-K for ABO typing.
Factors such as rising in the prevalence rate of various diseases, dire need for the blood during surgical procedures, rise in the government initiatives about necessity of the donation of blood, safe blood transfusion, campaigns on blood donation are propelling the growth of blood grouping reagents market. However, lack of awareness, paucity of trained and skilled professionals which may lead to risks in transfusion hence, diminishing the growth of blood bank reagents globally.
Hospitals, Blood Banks and Clinical Laboratories.
And lastly on the basis of geographical regions, blood grouping reagents market is divided into five major regions- Latin America, North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. North America holds largest market share due to favorable reimbursement policies for surgeries, and rising incidence of the major blood disorders. Asia-Pacific market is anticipated to show significant growth rate due to rise in incidence and prevalence rate of chronic disorders in Asian countries. Some of the players in the blood grouping reagents market are Grifols, S.A. (Spain), Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (U.S.), Immucor, Inc. (U.S.), Quotient, Ltd. (U.S.), ), Novacyt Group (France), Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (U.S.), BAG Healthcare GmbH (Germany), Day medical SA (Switzerland), Rapid Labs (U.K.), AXO Science (France). And DIAGAST (France). In 2017, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., received U.S. FDA clearance for IH-1000 blood typing instrument to market in the US. In the same year, Immucor, Inc., launched MIA FORA NGS FLEX HLA Typing Assay which provides comprehensive coverage up to 11 HLA genes.
Blood grouping reagents are the vital tools in diagnostic laboratories for blood group serology. Rise number of blood transfusion procedures is anticipated to pose great demand for the blood grouping reagents. In addition to this extended use of blood group reagents for the purpose of research is anticipated to propel the market growth of blood grouping reagents. Every day in U.S., approximately about 36,000 units of RBC, 7,000 units of platelets and 10,000 units of plasma are required and roughly 21 million blood components are transfused every year in U.S.
