[What's the history of Jacobstown?] Was a resort Pre-War. I renamed it to Jacobstown after an old friend. Died a long time ago. I figured us mutants needed a place to call our own. Town's far enough away from humans so they don't bother us much. One of these days I'm hoping we can trade with the rest of the wasteland. No more fighting, just... get along.
"— Marcus, Fallout: New Vegas

Post-Great War, the area was of little interest to travelers and scavengers due to its remote location and lack of salvageable material. It was not until the past twenty years that it became a permanent settlement for any group. Marcus, the mild-mannered super mutant sheriff of Broken Hills, took it upon himself to find a refuge for the "broken-minded" of his kind. It proved to be more difficult than holding on to Broken Hills, but he eventually discovered Mount Charleston and decided it was a good spot to set up a community.[1][2] The town mostly supports itself one the ranching of bighorners; they provide lots of meat and the town can trade the hides for other supplies with passing caravans. Wild bighorners also roam the foothills, so restocking their heard is easy.[3]
Jacobstown is named after Jacob, a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin and past traveling companion of Marcus, who together previously founded the town of Broken Hills. It was in remembrance of his old friend, who had died long ago, that Marcus renamed the old resort.[4]
Unfortunately for Marcus, not all of the super mutants and nightkin were content to live under his rules. Davison and Tabitha broke off on their own, eventually winding up with their own dysfunctional super mutant communities. Though Marcus is disappointed at how things turned out, he does the best he can to take care of Lily and the other super mutants and nightkin at Jacobstown. Even so, a nightkin named Keene still represents all the other nightkin in the town, given that Marcus does not truly understand their troubles.[5] Dr. Henry is trying his best to cure their mental illness, but progress is slow going and the nightkin are growing impatient, and another instance of rebellion is imminent unless something is done.[6][7]
Aside from the conflicts within, Jacobstown suffers many threats from the outside due to their high population of super mutants; they have even tried to establish trade with the New California Republic,[8] but an influential party[9] of the NCR recently sent out a band of mercenaries to either displace the super mutants from the town, or remove them through more violent methods, despite the fact that the town has nothing to do with the attacks on the NCR citizen's brahmin.[10]
The super mutants of Jacobstown are an egalitarian collective. The Super Mutants operate in a collectivist mindset, equally sharing their resources among each other for a common goal and almost never physically fighting each other, though there are often splinter factions among its less mentally stable denizens.[1] The super mutants themselves can be divided into three groups: the first generation Super Mutants from the Master's army, second generation mutants from the Enclave excavations, and the Nightkin, the Master's elite operatives and commanders.[11][12]
Though there is not a caste system or a highly regimented society the different generations of mutants tend to gravitate to different roles. The first generation mutants are generally among the smartest (and most mentally stable) and act has organizers and community leaders. Marcus, due to his experience as a sheriff and his intelligence, became the de facto leader of the mutant community. The second generation, or dumb dumbs has some[13] call them, are general muscle and work as extra hands, as even the least intelligent of mutants are useful for their strength and manpower. Nightkin, under the representation of Keene, help protect the town from interlopers, though their main objective is to find a cure for their deteriorating conditions. Although founded as a super mutant haven in mind, members of all races are welcome has long has they behave themselves and mind their manners and staring around the Nightkin. [14][15]
Outside relations
The residents of Jacobstown are friendly and peaceful but despite their best efforts have few good relations. Marcus wishes to do trade with others, including the NCR, but their isolation and general anti-mutant sentiment have made this simple task difficult. They have have been scapegoated by the New California Republic[8], for supposedly attacking brahmin herds, despite evidence to the contrary. This has resulted in an influential party[9] of the NCR to send out a band of mercenaries to either displace the super mutants from the town, or remove them through more violent methods, despite the fact that the town has nothing to do with the attacks on the NCR citizen's brahmin.[10] Marcus, however, remains optimistic about establishing trade and borders with the NCR, believing it is only a matter of hard work and if the current situation can be peacefully resolved.
Despite being close neighbors with the Great Khans, neither seem very interested in the other, mostly focusing on their problems with the NCR (Jacobstown) or assimilating into the Legion (Khans). This apathetic attitude also extends itself to Caesar's Legion, as little to no contact has been made between the two groups. Marcus himself has several opinions on Caesar and his Legion, but this may or may not extend to the rest of the town.[16]
The State of Utobitha and Jacobstown are on strictly unfriendly terms, as Utobitha tends to give mutants a bad reputation as ordinance-toting moronic raiders. Marcus even goes as far as to plant Neil as a spy/diplomat in order to seed unrest and convince as many mutants as possible to uproot and move to Jacobstown.[15]
Given the snowy climate and the look of the town itself, it appears to be a ski lodge resort with certain modified or fortified parts, located in the nearby Mount Charleston area north-west of New Vegas. The entrance features a giant sign on a tower that says "Jacobstown". Left of the entrance is a pen full of bighorners. The large building to the rear is the Jacobstown Lodge.
At the entrance of Jacobstown, where you meet Marcus for the first time in this game, there are two super mutants standing guard either side. Near to the one on the right there is a hollowed-out rock which has a small heart painted on it.
You will also find Lily and Keene in the town for the quest Guess Who I Saw Today, and Doctor Henry for the quest Nothin' But a Hound Dog and For Auld Lang Syne.

Guess Who I Saw Today
If you have visited Neil, he may tell you the location of Jacobstown and mark it on your map.
When speaking to Marcus, a certain dialogue option can have him explain certain events from Fallout 1 and 2, including the Master's Army, and the destruction of the Oil Rig.
Occasionally, other super mutants will state: "Sometimes I miss being in the Master's army."
There is a terminal in the broadcasting center of Black Mountain that can be hacked by the Courier. On it, there are entries from Marcus who takes pity on the soldiers and decides to make Black Mountain a haven for super mutants. Tabitha, the present ruler of Black Mountain, can be quoted from her radio broadcasts with Rhonda as saying that the first-generation super mutants have left Black Mountain to found their own city.
The mutants inside and outside of the Jacobstown Lodge will respawn, excluding named non-player characters, such as Lily or Marcus.
Other than the super mutants and nightkin, Jacobstown is also home to an unnamed super mutant master. He has a "normal", cultured voice instead of the more the slurred voice used by the other super mutants, but says the same generic dialogue phrases.
In an upstairs room of the lodge is the only pinball machine in Fallout: New Vegas.
Jacobstown appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
Jacobstown sits at the same general location as the town of Mount Charleston, a small alpine community high in the mountains west of the Las Vegas Valley noted for Mount Charleston Lodge, the building in Jacobstown in based.
Spare Us the Cutter
There are three markers in the Brahmin pen that enable certain NPCs. They aren't actually used in the final game, and were seemingly just there as a possible way to quickly ease NPC numbers (between them they enable most of the NPCs in the area). Oddly there is one called JacobstownMoreNightkinParentMarker that does just what it suggests - enables four more Nightkin outside the house that is always disabled in the game (along with those NPCs). I'm not sure if this was disabled to keep down NPC numbers or as a continuity measure (or even part of the Nightkin coup plotline?) as we are told the nightkin don't like going outside much as they can't bear to be seen. The only nightkin outside in the farm area of Jacobstown in the final game is Lily so that the player can clearly see her.
Megan Parks handled world building for the location: asset creation, prop placement, land building, and vista.[17]
Sometimes one of the mutants inside Jacobstown might become hostile as you enter the town, turning the entire town to become hostile to you. This can be solved by loading a prior save. The save should be before talking to Marcus and discovering Jacobstown.
At higher levels, cazadors will often spawn near the front gate to Jacobstown, attacking any mutants (including Marcus).
There are some random spawning encounters in random places near Jacobstown and the highway to Jacobstown. Cazadors, aggressive Bighorners, or some non-player characters (such as Legionnaires, which aren't supposed to spawn in the area) may spawn and start attacking player and the mutants.
Sometimes he may just say, "Keep your head down - there could be snipers around". This makes any communication with him impossible. There is no known fix for this bug, however it may work to disable, enable, kill, and resurrect him using console commands.

Neil: "Marcus sent me here a couple of months ago to check on Black Mountain. I suppose you could say I came here as a spy. But with no signs of Tabitha's weakening, and none of the second-gens ready to revolt or to come to Jacobstown, there wasn't much I could do. Down here, on the other hand, I've saved a dozen Mutants from heading up the mountain. It's not much, but it's something. I have my own reasons to stay away from Jacobstown for a while - reasons we won't be discussing - so I've stayed here."

↑ Courier: What do you know about the Legion? Marcus: Caesar thinks he can change human nature. Most of the Legion is following Caesar, not Caesar's ideals. When he's gone, it'll crumble. Might not happen overnight. Might take a few decades. But it'll happen. Basic human nature - greed, ambition, jealousy - will see to it.

Skolstrejk för klimatet (även känd som: School strike for climate, Fridays for Future, Youth for Climate och Youth Strike 4 Climate) är en internationell rörelse bestående främst av skolelever som väljer att skolka från sina skollektioner och istället delta i demonstrationer för att kräva åtgärder för att förhindra mer global uppvärmning och klimatförändring. Rörelsen växte sig allt starkare när den svenska klimataktivisten Greta Thunberg började sittstrejka regelbundet utanför Riksdagshuset i Stockholm från den 20 augusti 2018 med plakatet "Skolstrejk för klimatet".

Klimatstrejken i november 2015
I slutet av november 2015, när Parisavtalet skulle undertecknas, började flera studenter i Paris att frånvara från undervisningen. De krävde att fossilbränslena skulle bevaras i marken, övergång till 100% ren energi och hjälpinsatser för klimatflyktingar.

Greta Thunberg och tidiga skolstrejkare 2018

I augusti 2018 började Greta Thunberg utebli från skolundervisningen, till en början varje dag och sedan efter riksdagsvalet i Sverige i september samma år endast fredagar, tills Sveriges miljöpolitik uppfyller Parisavtalets mål. Under de kommande veckorna och månaderna följde tog många andra skolungdomar världen över efter henne.

Växande rörelse
De kommande månaderna spred sig rörelsen, influerad av Greta Thunberg, och växte sig allt starkare.

Första globala strejken

Den första stora organiserade demonstrationen ägde rum den 15 mars 2019 under namnet Global Strike for Future. Den tog plats världen över i mer än 140 länder och på mer än 2 200 platser. Mellan 1,4–1,8 miljoner människor ska ha deltagit i demonstrationerna. Endast i Sverige genomfördes mer än 100 demonstrationer och Greta Thunberg ska vid demonstrationen vid Mynttorget i Gamla stan bland annat ha sagt: "Vi står inför den största kris mänskligheten har stått inför. Ändå har den ignorerats i decennier av de som vetat om den. Vi strejkar för att vi vill ha en framtid."

Andra globala strejken

Den andra stora organiserade demonstrationen ägde rum den 24 maj 2019 och likt den första hette även denna Global Strike for Future. Mer än 1,8 miljoner människor i mer än 120 länder, på 2 300 platser demonstrerade denna dag. I Sverige arrangerades över 100 demonstrationer och demonstrationståget i centrala Stockholm tågade från Humlegården till Kungsträdgården där drygt 4 000 ungdomar deltog. Efter marschen höll Greta Thunberg ett tal för närmare 6 000 personer i Kungsträdgården där hon bland annat sa: "Vi är här för att städa upp efter våra föräldrar […] De struntar i att det kommer att vara sent när vi är färdigutbildade. Ni vuxna som säger att vi ska vara i skolan – strejka från jobbet, gå ut på gatorna, skrik!".

Internationell klimatstrejk i Aachen, 21 juni 2019
Den 21 juni 2019 hölls en stor demonstration i Aachen i Tyskland som samlade uppskattningsvis tiotusentals deltagare från 16 länder.

Internationella konferensen i Lausanne 5–9 augusti 2019
Vid Lausannes universitet höll rörelsen mellan 5 och 9 augusti 2019 sin internationella sommarkonferens, där Greta Thunberg deltog innan hon avseglade från Plymouth mot Amerika över Atlanten i tävlingssegelbåten Malizia II.

Tredje globala strejken

Den tredje globala strejken, bestående av veckolång strejk, inleddes den 20 september 2019. och avslutades den 27 i samma månad.

Digitala klimatstrejker
I mars 2020 uppmanade Greta Thunberg rörelsen att på grund av coronavirusets härjningar i stället för att samlas på gator och torg, sitta hemma med en skylt och sedan ladda upp bilden på Internet.

Priser och utmärkelser
I juni 2019 tilldelades rörelsen, tillsammans med Greta Thunberg, Amnesty Internationals Ambassador of Conscience Award, som organisationen själva räknar som sin högsta utmärkelse.

International COVID 19 British teen found guilty of hate crime against S'porean student in London
British teen found guilty of hate crime against S'porean student in London
The accused had denied at his trial last month that the attack had been motivated by race
FB screengrab: Jonathan Mok
InternationalCOVID 19Home NewsUK
Singapore — A 15-year-old teen who had been part of a group that assaulted a Singaporean student has been found guilty of committing an "unprovoked and racially-motivated" act by a court in London.
The attack on Mr Jonathan Mok, 23, occurred in Oxford Street on Feb 24, 2020. It left him bruised and bloodied. He later required facial surgery.
Magistrates at the Highbury Corner Youth Court on Monday (Jan 4) found the teen guilty of racially-aggravated grievous bodily harm. He has not been named due to his young age.
The police in London had investigated the attack as a racially- motivated assault.
The teen had admitted that he had wounded Mr Mok but denied at his trial last month that the attack had been motivated by race. He said that he was not a racist and that he did not mention the word "coronavirus".
Mr Mok had claimed that the boy and his friends had said "I don't want your coronavirus in my country" and had commented on the Singaporean student's ethnicity. The teen denied this.
However, witnesses some metres away from where the assault occurred heard the words "disease" or "coronavirus", the court heard.
In August last year, the teen had pleaded guilty to wounding or causing grievous bodily harm without intent.
Chairman of the Bench Lesley Ward told the teen: "Given the number of witnesses and your proximity to the incident, we feel it's not plausible that you missed the racist term being used and it's therefore difficult to believe your version of events."
This now means that the assault on Mr Mok is considered a hate crime, which will have bearing on the teen's sentencing later this month.
The law student wrote about the assault in a Facebook post
That night, Mr Mok passed by some male teenagers in a group. One of them addressed him but all he could understand was the word "coronavirus". He turned to look that the person who spoke, which provoked him to shout: "Don't you dare look at me."
Within seconds, he and others from his group, including a young female, confronted Mr Mok.
He said: "I was shocked and angry because he directed a racist remark at me and had the audacity to shout at me like I had wronged him. All of a sudden, the first punch was swung at my face and took me by surprise. When I was still shocked by the first hit, the guy delivered the second sucker punch."
Passers-by tried to step in. And while Mr Mok attempted to explain he had done nothing, another person from the group tried to kick him.
Mr Mok tried to defend himself but was limited from doing so as he had a broken finger.
Then the person who tried to kick him punched him in the face, bloodying his nose.
The group left before the police came.
In the hospital, Mr Mok was told that he "had suffered a few fractures in my face and might need to undergo reconstructive surgery to fix some of the bones".
In his Facebook post, which went on to be shared more than 38,000 times, he said: "Racism is not stupidity — racism is hate. Racists constantly find excuses to expound their hatred — and in this current backdrop of the coronavirus, they've found yet another excuse. From refusing service to a Chinese-looking person to racially-motivated hate crimes, every single one of these acts are based on racism.
"People dismiss racism with statements such as 'it's not all of us — only a minority are racists and this does not reflect on a city/country'. While factually true, not only it does not change the fact that this is an ugly problem that has plagued humanity for a very long time, but also it belittles this problem we have. Racism has changed its form and shape through the years and it is once again rearing its ugly head in light of the Covid-19 crisis." /TISG

Reviving A Family Tradition
The olive trees that are used to make Dennis Gizas' Dionysus olive oil average 350 to 400 years old and, incredibly, some are even up to 1300 years old.
Dennis lives in Australia but is proud of his Greek heritage. His family has produced olives and olive oil, table grapes, wine, pomegranates, capers and other produce for centuries.
His ancestors even exported olives and olive oil from the port of Kalamata to various European markets, including Venice, Antwerp and Luxemburg.
But as with so many other families in the Greek Diaspora of the early and mid-20th century when people sought a better life in the cities of Greece and elsewhere around the world, the family tradition of producing olives and olive oil was almost lost.
That was until 2000, when Dennis's father returned to his ancestral home in Greece, the small village of Aipeia, about 20 minutes north of Kalamata in Peloponnese, where his family lived for about 350 years.
Dennis and his father began restoring the ancestral house, the remaining farm buildings, cultivating and expanding the olive grove and harvesting olives for eating and pressing into olive oil.
About 10 years ago, they began importing the oil to share with family members in Australia and subsequently to family friends and their friends.
"It became obvious that there was a niche in the Australian market for an affordable high quality kalamata extra virgin olive oil," says Dennis.
"Most of Greece's production of olive oil is consumed domestically and exported to other European markets; little of the high-end kalamata extra virgin olive oil reaches Australia."
And thus his label, Dionysus Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and his career as an olive oil producer, importer and distributor began. He imported his first commercial shipment in 2010-2011.
Returning to Greece every year for the winter harvest, he draws on kalamata olives harvested from their own and other small traditional olive groves in the region.
The trees are harvested using traditional methods, partly because of the mountain terrain making the use of machinery impossible, and also because the harvesting is a communal activity. Pesticides are rarely used and there are natural springs for irrigation.
The oil is bottled directly from the oil press; it is not refined, filtered, mixed or diluted with other oils or second pressings. It is then stored in large airtight containers and shipped to Australia, where it is bottled.
Dennis is making two styles of kalamata extra virgin olive oil under his Dionysus label:
Delicate, with a fruity bouquet and softer on the palate but still with a peppery sharpness on the front palate.
Robust, with a more herbaceous aroma and spicier taste that lingers on the back palate.
I can highly recommend these beautiful oils. If you would like to find out where you can buy them (so far in NSW and the ACT), visit the Dionysus website.
Dennis has lost a few distributors and stockists because of customer complaints about them selling imported olive oil. "Interestingly, these complaints do not extend to wines, cheeses, other imported goods, only olive oil," he says.

I hope the olive tree I have planted in Canberra lives to be 1300 years old! It would be cool to think I had left a small but positive mark on the Canberra landscape for millennia to come!


Many of us believe in destiny. We envision our future to be a mysterious star behind the thick dark clouds.
We think that the lines in our palms have mapped our future from birth to death.
Great man and women shape the future, not only their own, but of the universe. Their future is like clay, they can bend it to form a vase, a statue, any great thing that they want.
Is your future like the lines in your palm or a clay on the table?
Crafting a great vase require discipline, consistency, timing, and a lot of hard work. It isn't done in a day.
Like the materials for a perfect vase, behind our success are subtle forces that shape our lives daily.
To craft our future, we must be conscious of these forces: our ratchets, trains, and motors.
Ratchets are the small changes that unfold daily. They are the tiny details that seem insignificant, at first. Then one day, you look back to see how far the ratchet has gone.
Not that many years ago, you bought your first-ever smartphone. You started using mobiles apps.
You downloaded Spotify. You started emailing using your phone.
Today, you drove to the office and realized that you forget your phone at home. You started worrying about you calls and messages. You hate the inconvenience of going to your desk to check emails. You realized you can't take a selfie.
Five years ago, smartphones did not exist and you were fine. Now, after using a smartphone daily for five years, this tiny gadget is almost a part of your body.
Ratches like these is all around you. Are you intentionally harnessing any of them for the work that matter to you?
You are riding your train. This vehicle carries you to its direction.
Your train is the company you keep, the office you work at, the house you live, the family that raises you, the friends you choose, the lover you desire.
The train is a force that surround you. Inevitably, they form a large part of your identity.
There are two forces that affect our identity: nature and nurture. The train represents nurture.
Our families are our first train. Our parents are our first influences. 82% of Catholics came from Catholic families.

There are times when you really like a video on Instagram as well as intend to save the video to your collection, but there is no system to do so. Download Videos From Instagram Online: However, there are particular means to download Instagram videos, but also for that you might have to struggle a little bit.
So in this tutorial I'll show you numerous approaches to download Instagram videos on your COMPUTER, Android, as well as iphone devices.
Caution: It's illegal to download Instagram videos in order to change or share them as your personal. You can just download videos for individual usage. If you will break copyrights, we will certainly not be accountable for any type of actions taken against you.
On your PC, you could either do it by hand or obtain help from an online video download solution. I'll show you both ways.
- Right-click on it and also pick Inspect element. Depending on your browser the name could be various, like View page source.
- Currently press Ctrl + F keys to open Discover option as well as kind ". mp4" in it.
- Just paste this link in a brand-new tab and the video will certainly begin playing. You could then right-click and pick Save video as ... to download the video.
For this purpose, I such as the complimentary online tool DownloadVideosFrom. In my experience, It's a bit instinctive compared to others and adds a couple of added attributes that you may find intriguing. Below's ways to utilize it:.
- Now open DownloadVideosFrom as well as paste the LINK right into the text field.
There are additionally alternatives to download MP3 (just sound of videos) or Instagram pictures.
On Android, the videos are automatically downloaded when you view them, you just have to discover where they are saved. Alternatively, you can use a third-party app to download videos without needing to view them initially. Allow's check both the methods:.
Making this job, first go and also enjoy the video that you want to download. Whatever component you will certainly enjoy will be downloaded. As a result, make sure you see the entire video if you desire the complete video.
Next, open your phone's File manager and most likely to Android > data > com.instagram.android > cache > videos. Right here you'll locate all the videos you have watched, and they will certainly have.clean expansion. You could tap on them as well as choose video alternative to play them.
Keep in mind: If your phone doesn't have a built-in documents supervisor, after that you could also use a third-party documents manager like ASUS File Manager.
If you want to convert them to an audio format, then merely relabel them as well as change.clean expansion to.mp4.
Note: All these videos are saved as cache. If phone cache is removed, then these videos will be deleted too. If you wish to completely keep a video, after that you need to move it to a different location.
If you want an even more trusted technique that won't require you to see each video, after that a third-party app will do. I recommend Video Downloader for Instagram, it's complimentary as well as the advertisements are not as well annoying. Let's see how to utilize it:.
- In the Instagram application, open the video you intend to download and also tap on the menu at the top-right edge (the 3 upright dots).
The link will certainly be pasted as well as the video will be immediately downloaded as well as saved in the gallery.
The options are extremely restricted when it involves iOS, but I understand a great repost app that also downloads the Instagram images and also videos. Regrammer is a totally cost-free application (ad supported) that will certainly help you download any type of video from Instagram to your iphone gadget.
Its usage is same as video Downloader for Instagram. Simply copy the video's URL from Instagram and paste it in the Regrammer application. Afterward, faucet on Preview to open up and download it. The video will certainly be immediately saved in the camera roll and also you'll see choices to repost it.
I believe using a third-party is a much easier method to download Instagram videos. All you should do copy/paste the link to get your video. Although the hand-operated approaches could likewise work well in specific circumstances. For instance, if you want to download videos from your background of watched videos, then the hand-operated Android phone method is a great option.

Solar power technologies are advanced enough that they are increasingly being integrated into buildings during construction, not just added onto existing ones. For example, there's a way to make thin enough, light-weight enough, and transparent enough solar cells to embed them into windows. Some cells even have color, which makes inventive facades a definite possibility!
Below are some colorful glass facades and/or windows, some actually photovoltaic, others made from regular glass or other sun control materials, to illustrate just a few possibilities SFF creators might want to consider.
Using dye-sensitized solar cells or DSSC (also known as Grätzel cells), the world's first multicolored solar facade was built at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. Although the technology is 30 years old already, the building is only from 2014.
The facade is made up of glass fins that emulate the colors of the historic buildings surrounding it.
A new wing added to an existing Victorian school. No solar glass as far as I can tell, but the combinations of solid and fritted, on one hand, and clear and colored glass, on the other, allow for some environmental control.
Designed by CrystalZoo, the roof tiles of the sustainably built environmental education center flow from bright reds via oranges to yellows.
GreenPix, a photovoltaic Zero Energy Media Wall, built for the Xicui entertainment center before the 2008 Beijing olympics, was the largest color LED display in the world at the time.
An atrium with semi-translucent photovoltaic ceiling panels plus regular colorful glass (as far as I can tell).
Designed by Winngårdh Arkitektkontor for the Chalmers University of Technology, Kuggen has a movable sunscreen and six floors, each shielding the floor below.

News > Medscape Medical News > International Conference on Viral Hepatitis (ICVH) 2011
Depression May Complicate Hepatitis C Therapy
Megan Brooks
April 21, 2011 (Baltimore, Maryland) — Roughly 40% of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are nonadherent to their HCV medications, according to results of an observational study presented here at the International Conference on Viral Hepatitis (ICVH) 2011. The conference is sponsored jointly by the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care; the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Office of Continuing Medical Education in Baltimore, Maryland; and the University of Bonn in Germany.
The study also suggests that identifying depression in HCV-infected patients, which is often brought on by interferon (IFN) therapy, and treating it can help boost adherence to therapy.
"Twenty to 40% of patients on interferon will get depressive symptoms, and then they are more apt to not adhere to their HCV medications," Mary Cassler, RPh, MBA, director of clinical development for advanced clinical sciences and research, Medco Health Solutions, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, who presented her research at the conference, noted in a telephone interview with Medscape Medical News.
"Proactive" depression screening may be a valuable tool to improve treatment adherence in patients with HCV "and may lead itself to better outcomes," she added.
Comorbidity Complicates HCV Treatment
Studies have shown that patients with chronic HCV need to take least 80% of their medication to suppress the virus, or risk the development of medication resistance and disease progression.
Ms. Cassler used the Medco claims database to identify patients new to HCV therapies receiving IFN and ribavirin and to determine medication adherence rates and the effect of comorbid conditions —particularly HIV infection and depression.
Among 3607 HCV-infected patients identified, 1657 (45.9%) were being treated for depression, and 109 (3.0%) were coinfected with HIV. Of those with HIV infection, 66 (60.5%) also had depression.
Only about 60% of all patients were adherent to their HCV medications; the highest adherence rates were seen in patients receiving treatment for depression. HCV medication adherence rates were 61.5% among those with depression only, and 69.7% in those with depression and HIV infection. Adherence to HCV medication was defined as a medication possession ratio of 80% or greater.
These data highlight the value of identifying and appropriately treating HCV-infected patients with depression, Ms. Cassler said, particularly given the well-established link between IFN therapy and the onset of depressive symptoms.
A "Wake-Up Call"
Jose M. Zuniga, PhD, MPH, president and chief executive officer of the International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care, who was not involved in the study, said this study, "with its startling observation that 40% of HCV-infected patients did not achieve adherence levels consistent with viral suppression, should be a wake-up call to scale-up education of patients about the importance of adherence to prescribed doses of anti-HCV drugs, and of clinicians to learn about and utilize evidence-based adherence interventions."
The study was an internal view of Medco claims data and had no outside funding. Ms. Cassler is an employee of Medco, but has no other relevant disclosures. Dr. Zuniga has disclosed that he is a consultant to Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Top 15 Miraculous Recoveries in Sports
by J. Francis Wolfe
Being able to play through pain is often a requirement once an athlete reaches the professional ranks. This is so frequently the case that players are often asked whether they are hurt or whether they are injured. If they are just hurt, then it is expected that the athlete ought to continue to compete. But if the athlete is truly injured, that is often the threshold where it becomes acceptable for the athlete to exit the field of play with their pride intact. Well, it becomes acceptable for some athletes.
There are always exceptions to any rule, and sometimes even the most serious of injuries cannot keep an athlete from competing. Throughout the years, there have been many examples of athletes who have gone above and beyond in order to return to competition much sooner than expected after suffering a serious injury. In some cases, players have returned months ahead of schedule by taking on the rehabilitation process with an aggressive mindset. Others opted for quick fixes for their injury, sometimes mortgaging the future of their career in order to compete in the most important moments in sport.
Of course, many of these athletes also have a flair for the dramatic, and the best miraculous recoveries often come in the most meaningful times in the season. The most memorable moments occur when an athlete is able to not only quickly recover from an injury, but is also able to succeed in spite of the injury. It adds a certain feeling of otherworldliness and exceptional heroism, as though there is an acknowledgement that only the toughest and most competitive of athletes are able to overcome an injury and still perform at the highest level. What follows are 15 of those athletes who have made the most miraculous recoveries in sports.
15 Ray Lewis
John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports
During October of the 2012 NFL season, it was reported that Ray Lewis had torn his triceps muscle and that the injury was very likely to end his season. A veteran of 17 years in professional football, there was speculation that the injury would effectively force Lewis into retirement, but the All-Pro linebacker was able to recover quickly and ultimately returned to the Ravens in time for the team's first playoff game in January. There were reports that Lewis used deer antler spray to help in the recovery process (which contains a substance banned under NFL rules), but Lewis never admitted to using the substance and there was little the NFL could do with Lewis retiring following the season. The Ravens went on to win a second Super Bowl title with Lewis anchoring the defense and compiling the most tackles in the postseason after his improbable return from injury.
14 Ben Hogan
via usga.org
Hogan was one of golf's greatest players when he was in a horrific car accident in 1949. After being hit head-on by a Greyhound bus, there were initial reports that Hogan had died, but he survived the brutal collision with a fractured collarbone, a double fraction of his pelvis and a broken rib and ankle, according to SmithsonianMag.com. He required multiple blood transfusions and also needed to have abdominal surgery, and there were serious doubts as to whether he would ever golf again. It was therefore quite a surprise that, just months after being described by reporters as "crippled," that Hogan was able to win the 1950 US Open, relying on an incredible shot on the 18th hole with a 1-iron that forced a three-way playoff. Hogan's return to prominence was complete, and he would go on to win many more major championships after his victory at the US Open, including three consecutive majors in 1953.
13 Rajon Rondo
Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports
During Game 3 of the 2011 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Miami Heat, Rajon Rondo dislocated his left elbow after falling to the floor and trying to brace himself with his left arm. The elbow had to be reset in the locker room, and it was estimated that Rondo would need somewhere between three to six weeks to recover from the serious injury. After finishing the game, he was able to return for Game 4 of the series with his elbow heavily wrapped. Rondo played well despite being limited somewhat by the injury, but the Heat were ultimately able to prevail in the series before losing to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
12 Brett Favre
via jsonline.com
Favre was known for his toughness throughout his NFL career and there were many instances in which the legendary quarterback played through injuries of varying severity. But his return from the injuries caused by an offseason car accident just before the start of his senior year at Southern Mississippi was by far his most impressive recovery, as he was able to step back on the field within a month of the accident. His injuries were not at all minor, as Favre had to overcome a concussion and cracked vertebrae, not to mention surgery that required two feet of his intestines to be removed, according to ESPN.com.
11 Bobby Hurley
Jonathan Daniel /Allsport"
Hurley's professional career was irreparably damaged by a car accident that nearly took his life in 1993. He was thrown from the truck he was driving, landing in a roadside ditch and having his windpipe ripped away from his lung due to the impact. After an arduous recovery, Hurley was able to resume his pro career, but he was no longer the player he was when he was drafted seventh overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 1993 NBA Draft. That he was even able to play following the injury was a miracle, as Hurley was fortunate to have his life after such a severe accident. Hurley had been one of the best collegiate point guards ever and he left Duke University as the NCAA all-time leader in assists.
10 Kerri Strug
via sikids.com
The US Gymnastics team was close to seeing their chances at their first team gold slip away at the 1992 Olympics in Atlanta when Kerri Strug tore two ligaments in her ankle after attempting her first vault. The US team needed her to score well on the final vault in order to win the gold, so Strug – after only a few moments of icing the ankle – returned to the runway and delivered one of the most dramatic moments in sports history. She landed the vault – holding her pose while on one leg -- and secured gold for the US, having to be later carried to the podium in order to receive her gold medal with her teammates.
9 Steve Yzerman
via imgkid.com
Yzerman's toughness is unquestioned, but if any evidence is needed, the 2002 and 2003 NHL seasons are an excellent place to start. Yzerman's knee was in such disrepair that he was forced out of action for a good portion of the 2002 season, but managed to return for a playoff run that culminated in the Red Wings winning the Stanley Cup. Yzerman then had to undergo knee realignment surgery, and took on six hours a day of rehabilitation exercises in order to come back in time for the end of the 2003 season. Despite skating on a knee in desperate need of surgery, the Detroit captain was second in the NHL in scoring during the 2002 playoffs.
8 Willis McGahee
via cleveland.com
McGahee suffered one of the most difficult injuries to watch when he endured tears of his MCL, ACL and PCL during the NCAA Championship game in 2003 while playing for the Miami Hurricanes. Due to the expected time needed for recovery, many in the NFL thought McGahee, formerly a lock to be a high first-round draft pick, would fall precipitously down the draft board. The Buffalo Bills took a chance on McGahee with the 23rd pick overall, and the running back rewarded their risk by returning to action much sooner than expected. He still had to sit out all of the 2003 season, but he was a 1,000-yard rusher in both the 2004 and 2005 seasons upon his return from what some thought would be a career-ending injury.
7 Jeff Green
Green gets some criticism from those who feel he has yet to live up to the tantalizing talent that made him a top-5 draft pick, but he also had to overcome one of the more unique recoveries in recent sports history: open-heart surgery. In 2011, Green was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm that required surgery in which Green's heart would have to be stopped for 60 minutes, according to SportsOnEarth.com. The recovery process was long, but Green was able to return to action for the 2013-14 season with the Celtics despite the real possibility that the surgery would keep him from ever playing again. Now with the Memphis Grizzlies, Green is averaging 12.3 PPG and 3.8 RPG while playing for a team eyeing a deep run in the playoffs.
6 Kirk Gibson
via latimesblogs.latimes.com
In 1988, Gibson was so hobbled that manager Tommy Lasorda prevented him from running out on the field to celebrate when the Dodgers beat the New York Mets in the NLCS that year. No one expected him to play in the World Series against Oakland, but Gibson relied on injections of cortisone and xylocaine – along with a healthy dose of game-time adrenaline – to recover long enough to take a single at-bat against the game's best closer, Dennis Eckersley, in Game 1 of the series. Gibson was barely able to maintain his balance on his first two swings, and it looked like there would be no chance that Gibson could remain standing, let alone make solid contact. But after working the count full, Gibson reached out for a 3-2 backdoor slider and pulled it out of the ballpark, giving the Dodgers one of the most improbable victories in baseball history.
5 Earl Thomas
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports
Thomas recovered so quickly from his separated shoulder that the NFL saw fit to have him randomly tested for HGH before the Seattle Seahawks played in the Super Bowl. Thomas, who separated the shoulder during Seattle's victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game, said his shoulder was a "10" when asked by reporters, leading to speculation that the NFL ordered the test over the speed with which Thomas was able to recover. The rapid healing didn't help the Seahawks to victory, however, as the Patriots were ultimately victorious.
4 Curt Schilling
via truesportsmovies.com
The tendon in Schilling's ankle was in such disrepair that he needed to have it sewn back into his ankle before Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees. Now known as the "Bloody Sock Game" and a part of the one of the most unbelievable comebacks ever, Schilling put on a performance for the ages when he helped lead the Red Sox to victory. The repeated stress on the surgically repaired ankle caused the sutures to bleed and soak through Schilling's sock, which now sits in Cooperstown at the Baseball Hall of Fame.
3 Ronnie Lott
via snipview.com
Lott accelerated his recovery from a broken finger by taking the most extreme of the available medical options: amputation. Rather than have a pin inserted in the finger and have to deal with an extended recovery period, Lott opted to have the finger removed so that he wouldn't have to miss the start of the 1986 season. That's right, he is permanently without a part of his finger because he didn't want to miss the start of the season. Not for a playoff game and not for a championship game, but the start of the season.
2 Adrian Peterson
Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports
While McGahee's recovery from a serious knee injury was impressive, Peterson has him beat by a mile in terms of his speedy recovery from a similar injury. After needing surgery to repair a torn ACL, Peterson was back on the field in just nine months, which is quite an accomplishment in and of itself. In addition to making it back so quickly, Peterson looked no worse for the wear and immediately began dominating the NFL as if he had never even had the injury. He led the league in rushing yards that season and eclipsed the 2,000-yard plateau, both astonishing accomplishments considering the severity and the recency of his knee injury.
1 Willis Reed
via thescore.com
No one was sure if Reed would be able to play in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals after the Knicks star tore a muscle in his thigh during Game 5 of the same series. He did not warm up with his teammates before the game, instead remaining in the locker room to receive an injection to minimize the pain he experienced, according to NBA.com. Reed's miraculous recovery became one of the most iconic moments in sports history, as New York's captain emerged to raucous cheers from the crowd and scored the game's first four points, spurring the Knicks along to victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

This year marks the 25th year anniversary of the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show. And this year, much like in previous years the show was grand as ever! It is the largest annual flower show in the world and set in the sprawling grounds of Hampton Court Palace, there are so many things to see and so much to do that it is not unheard of that a full days visit is not enough to see everything. And with the summer heat currently hitting most parts of the UK, the temptation to just be there, have plenty of pauses, soak in the festive ambience, and just enjoy being there is very high!
We had a fabulous time yesterday, seeing as many of the attractions as we could, catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones, lots of drink and nibbles, and culminating it by witnessing a grand fireworks display that ended the evening.
No wet Miss Sweden this time!
Lots of plant hopping happened here in the Floral Marquee!
Oh and lots of lush and leafy things too!
The lovely people at Stihl gave us an extra warm reception!
And a grand fireworks display to cap the day and evening off!
More on the show gardens and scenes inside the floral marquee to follow soon!
Great entertainment :). I like the garden pictured before the pitcher plant.
That was a nice show garden Lisa. Although both of us agreed that this years batch of show gardens on the whole were weakest compared to previous years.
That's a flower show done right. That first shot is really intriguing, and I can't quite make out the third shot - what the openings are. Interesting. The spikyliscious gardens are wonderful, too. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! What a day you must have had. I look forward to the extended coverage.
What a great way to spend a day! I LOVE that first blue, gray and white garden. You have the best flower and garden shows.
How did so many garden designers get the blues all at once? Something in the air? I assume, since there were some exceptions, it was not handed down from on high. Whatever: inspiring post, as always.
More likely due to coincidence Ricki. Or perhaps it trickled down as a trend that started at Chelsea. Such colour combinations are not cheerful and summery at all and came across more on the dull side.
Hi Mark, the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show is amazing! I liked all the show gardens that you are featuring here very much, they are so well done and each one is so unique. And best of all they contain plenty of ideas that one can try out in its own garden. Thanks for reporting about this, I am already looking forward to the next entry.
I think I like the egg one best - the green and white but also it looks a cute cosy place to sit and relax.
I like the last of the show gardens... The greys and blues really do get dull, and the one with the red-and-white color scheme had a few too many metal curlicues for my taste.
A big elephant sculpture would be cool Patricia!
Incredible! You must have enjoyed yourselves thoroughly!
It's true a day isn't enough to see it all! I was there (sorry to miss you guys, if only I'd phoned Michelle before going back through the gate!) and it was only thanks to Michelle that I finally realised where the Floral Marquee was - with just an hour to spare before early evening kick out. I still managed to make a couple of purchase, though ;o) I have a feeling that I missed out on quite a few of the show gardens but will have got my bearings for next year. Definitely worth a return trip!

This Just In: Upgrades and Downgrades
Rich Smith, The Motley Fool, AOL.com
Mar 2nd 2013 3:00PM
At The Motley Fool, we poke plenty of fun at Wall Street analysts and their endless cycle of upgrades, downgrades, and "initiating coverage at neutral." Today, we'll show you whether those bigwigs actually know what they're talking about. To help, we've enlisted Motley Fool CAPS to track the long-term performance of Wall Street's best and worst.
And speaking of the best ...
When it comes to the emerging field of robotic surgery, there are three key names investors tend to focus on: Intuitive Surgical , MAKO Surgical , and Hansen Medical . As it so happens, all three of these companies made news last week. But there's no question which of the three came out of the week looking better than all the others: Hands down, it was Intuitive.
On Thursday, you see, a report filtered out of Bloomberg announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has begun asking questions about "complications" surgeons experience when using Intuitive's da Vinci surgical robots. Worries that this could turn into something serious sparked an immediate 11% sell-off in the stock Thursday -- a sell-off that quickly morphed into a buying frenzy Friday, when several analysts leapt to the company's defense:
William Blair: "We firmly believe that [da Vinci] is safe and effective, and that the recent concerns about increasing rates of complication are to be expected with any medical device."
Cantor Fitzgerald: This is all a "gross overreaction" to the FDA news.
Mizuho Securities: "Reports" of problems with da Vinci have "actually declined over time."
Janney Capital Markets: The stock is going back up, so buy it quick. "If management felt that there needed to be an explanation on the issues, they would've been much more aggressive in managing the Street's expectations."
Cantor itself took that advice to heart, changing its rating on Intuitive to "buy" in response to Thursday's sell-off. And as luck would have it, Cantor made its call just in time to catch the stock's rebound Friday. By the time markets had closed for the weekend, the stock had gained back 8.5%, and closed above $553.
You've heard about the best. But what of the rest?
Mirroring Intuitive's topsy-turvy week, MAKO Surgical and Hansen Medical took opposite directions last week -- despite reporting remarkably similar news events.
On Tuesday, MAKO reported losing $0.13 a share (two cents worse than forecast) on weaker-than-expected revenues. Regardless, a large increase in surgical procedures using the company's products got investors excited enough to bid up the shares by 16% over the ensuing two days. (Which seems a strange reaction to a reported loss.)
One day later, Hansen reported a loss as well but encountered a much different reaction from investors. They sold off Hansen shares by 7% after the company delivered a $0.35-per-share loss when "only" a $0.14 loss had been expected. Revenues, at $4.3 million, were simultaneously negligible, and also about 27% worse than expected.
Of the two reports, Wall Street reacted only to the first, with Oppenheimer cutting its price target on MAKO Surgical, citing an "uncertain macro environment." (Funny, though, how things don't seem to be quite souncertain over at Intuitive Surgical.) Of course, Oppenheimer still thinks MAKO shares should be worth $13, in spite of the uncertainty.
Investor reactions notwithstanding, one thingseems crystal clear here: Of the three companies, only Intuitive Surgical is currently reporting profits, generating cash, and selling real products to real customers in quantities sufficient to make it a viable business. Meanwhile, analysts who follow MAKO and Hansen still don't see either company earning a profit this year, or next year, or even the year after that.
Make no mistake: Despite what I've pointed out, I'm still not a fan of Intuitive Surgical's stock. At 35 times earnings, and a price-to-free cash flow ratio only a little bit cheaper than that, the stock is grossly overpriced for the 18% long-term earnings growth it's expected to produce over the next five years.
Regardless, there's simply no question that in relative terms, Intuitive Surgical is "the best" robotic surgery company out there. As for MAKO and Hansen -- despite what their fans may say, neither one of these companies deserves the title of "the next Intuitive Surgical." They might eventually get bought out and turned into subsidiaries of Intuitive Surgical.
On the other hand, they could just as easily get competed out of existence by the real Intuitive Surgical.
Are stories of this demise greatly exaggerated?
Recently, some investors have questioned Intuitive Surgical's future. However, Intuitive Surgical expert Karl Thiel believes there's a visible path to long-term growth persists.

Army: Settlers have crossed red line
Saturday, 13 September 2008 08:13
Senior IDF officers on Thursday lambasted the legal system's inability to effectively crack down on radical West Bank settlers after a group of young far-right activists went on a rampage that culminated in an attack on an IDF position near Ramallah.
The IDF, one officer said, recently held a one-day conference together with the police to try to come up with ways to stop settler violence. According to the officer, in most cases the settlers involved in such clashes were either not apprehended or were released from police custody without being indicted.
"They have crossed a red line," one officer said. "The legal system needs to come up with ways to curb this unfortunate, growing phenomenon."

Wilmer Flores trade fell through due to Mets' concerns about Carlos Gomez's hip: sources
By Andy Martino
Jul 30, 2015 at 7:11 am
Perhaps the strangest night in Citi Field history left one player crying,others checking their phones for trade reports, a manager angry, and one deal dead.
The Mets agreed in principle to trade Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Floresto Milwaukee for Carlos Gomez; then, according to sources, the Mets backed out of the deal because of concerns about Gomez's hips — an assertion that Gomez's agent denied.
"Carlos Gomez is in first class physical condition," Scott Boras told the Daily News. "He is going to play another 15 years, as far as I know. He has never seen a hip doctor. He has no hip issue. Wherever that rumor popped up from, it is a complete misrepresentation of the player's condition."

The wild events began in the late afternoon, near game time, when the Daily News reported that the Mets were working on a trade for a so-called "big bat," to complete a successful week of tinkering.

Sandy Alderson had already acquired useful hitters Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson last Friday, and setup ace Tyler Clippard on Monday. Now, he appeared close to an even better move.
We checked our sources throughout the league, and learned that the team was not in on Detroit's Yoenis Cespedes, and Cincinnati was focused on trading pitcher Mike Leake, not outfielder Jay Bruce. We were able to rule out Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers.
Further reporting led us to former Met Gomez, the Milwaukee Brewers center fielder, traded long ago for Johan Santana. It had been clear in recent weeks that the Mets liked Gomez; now, they were more aggressive in their pursuit.
The game began, and the San Diego Padres battered Bartolo Colon on a sluggish, muggy night. This hardly seemed relevant, as baseball reporters all over the country dug into what the Mets would do, and fans wondered.
Somewhere around the fifth inning, a well-placed source told The News that the teams had agreed to this framework: Gomez for Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Flores.
Within seconds, all major outlets were reporting the same. We immediately heard a strong caveat, and reported it on Twitter: The agreement was pending review of medical information. That is standard, but a source cautioned that with Wheeler recovering from Tommy John surgery, that process could be complicated.
The night in Metville, summed up perfectly on Thursday's back page.
"Remember, the medicals still have to be reviewed," the source said. "Not a slam dunk."
At this point, the deal was agreed to in principle, but not officially done.
That did not prevent a dramatic scene from unfolding on the field, as Flores learned about the trade from the crowd.
"I just heard it from the fans," he later said.
When Flores batted in the seventh inning, he received a standing ovation for what many assumed was his final at-bat as a Met. But he was out in the field again, until Ruben Tejada finally pinch-hit for him in the ninth inning. At one point, television cameras showed Flores crying.
When the game ended — the Mets lost, 7-3, and Lucas Duda slugged three home runs — an emotional Terry Collins emerged at his usual perch in the interview room.
"All I know is there's no deal," Collins began. "That's all I know."

He continued: "You guys think these guys are stone-cold robots, but they're not. They're human beings with emotions. This kid is upset, he's sad, he's been a Met his whole life, and he probably wants to be a Met... I feel terrible for Wilmer. As you guys know, they're isn't a finer guy in the clubhouse than him."
Collins, under the impression that there was no deal, left Flores in the game, because he was a Met, as far as the manager knew. Why not remove him anyway?
"Somebody came to me and said, Wilmer is crying. 'Why?' 'Well, he got traded.' 'To who? For what? I didn't know."
A few minutes later, Alderson said that a trade "has not and will not transpire... It won't happen."
Soon after, sources told us that Wheeler's medicals were not the issue, and Gomez's were. The story promised to unfold further on Thursday, with the Mets still in trade mode.

Stefan Niewczyk (ur. 7 sierpnia 1925 w Bydgoszczy, zm. 11 marca 2007 w Poznaniu) – polski lutnik, współzałożyciel Stowarzyszenia Polskich Artystów Lutników, założyciel Cechu Budowniczych Instrumentów Muzycznych.

Życiorys

Na świat przyszedł w Bydgoszczy, jako syn Stanisława Niewczyka szefa tamtejszej filii Pierwszej Krajowej Fabryki Instrumentów Muzycznych, założonej przez dziada Stefana Niewczyka, Franciszka w 1885 r. Miał dwóch braci: Antoniego i Mariana. Gry na skrzypcach nauczył się w wieku sześciu lat. Karierę lutniczą rozpoczął u boku ojca w 1939 r., wykonując już rok później swoje pierwsze skrzypce. W czasie II wojny światowej nauczył się grać na fortepianie, a w pracowni ukrywał wspólnie z ojcem sztandar Cechu Instrumentariuszy Muzycznych, który po zakończeniu działań wojennych przekazał prawowitemu właścicielowi.

Tytuł czeladniczy uzyskał w 1945 r., tytuł mistrzowski z lutnictwa w 1948 r., a następnie z wyrobu instrumentów dętych i akordeonów. Jako muzyk Niewczyk był w tym okresie związany z orkiestrą symfoniczną Dyrekcji Lasów Państwowych, a potem orkiestrą Urzędu Finansowego. Nielegalnie wykonywał gitary elektryczne, w czasie swojej kariery wykonał około 200 skrzypiec. Był cenionym i znanym w całej Polsce ekspertem. W 1954 r. był jednym z inicjatorów powstania Stowarzyszenia Polskich Artystów Lutników. W swojej poznańskiej pracowni zajmował się między innymi skrzypcami muzyków startujących we wszystkich powojennych Międzynarodowych Konkursach Skrzypcowych im. Henryka Wieniawskiego. O skandalicznych warunkach w jakich zmuszona była pracować rodzina Niewczyków pisał (oskarżając o zaniedbania władze miejskie) na łamach Polityki w latach 70. XX wieku, znany muzykolog Jerzy Waldorff. Efektem interwencji Waldorffa było przeniesienie warsztatu lutniczego Niewczyków w 1978 r., na ul. Woźną w Poznaniu. Od 2005 r., pracownię prowadzi syn Stefana, Benedykt Niewczyk.

Pochowany na cmentarzu przy ul. Lubowskiej w Poznaniu.
