On The Track of Prehistoric Humans
Who is Lucy?
The fossil record offers clues as to the origins of bipedalism, which in turn helps us to identify those species ancestral to modern humans. One of the most abundant sources for early bipedalism is found in Australopithecus afarensis, a species that lived between approximately 4 and 2.8 Ma. A. afarensis postcrania clearly shows hip, knee, and foot morphology distinctive to bipedalism.
In addition to the postcranial material, Au. afarensis also left behind a 27 meter long set of footprints known as the Laetoli Tracks in Tanzania. Approximately 3.7 Ma, 3 Au. afarensis individuals walked through a muddy layer of volcanic ash that preserved their foot prints after the ash hardened20. From the Laetoli tracks it is clear that Au. afarensis walked with an upright posture, with a strong heel strike and follow-through to the ball of the foot, with the hallux making last contact with the ground before push-off. Interestingly, the prints provide evidence of a slight gap between the hallux and the other toes. This gap suggests that even though the hallux was not fully divergent, it was alos not yet fully adducted as seen in modern humans8-10,21-23.
Though australopith material offers a strong case for habitual bipedalism, earlier hominins dating as far back as 7 Ma also provide exciting evidence for early bipedalism. The oldest known hominin to show definitive bipedal adapations is the extinct species Orrorin tugenensis that dates to 6 Ma. A femur and tibia recovered in Kenya and assigned to O. tugenensis exhibits features typical of bipeds, including a bicondylar angle24-26. However, a 7 Ma fossil discovered in Chad in 2001, known as Sahelanthropus tchadensis, exhibits a more inferiorly positioned foramen magnum consistent with bipedalism, rather than the relatively dorsal position seen in quadrupeds27,28. No postcranial material has been associated with Sahelanthropus but if proven to be bipedal, Sahelanthropus may substantiate the hypothesis that bipedal evolution was influenced by climate trends beginning in the late Miocene (i.e., a geologic epoch that dates between 23 and 5.3 Ma). Faunal analyses from these earily hominin sites suggests S. tchadensisand O. tugenensis lived on lake margins, near the edge of woodlands and grasslands.
About 2 million years younger than O. tugenensis is a hominin known as known as Ardipithecus ramidus that dates to approximately 4.4 Ma. Known as "Ardi", Ar. ramidus material exhibits a mosaic of primitive and derived features, including a fully abductable hallux (primitive), relatively inflexible midfoot (derived), arms and legs of similar proportions (primitive), relatively broad iliac ala (derived), and an inferiorly placed foramen magnum8-10,31,32.
The oldest evidence for australopith bipedalism is found in the species Australopithecus anamensis (4.2 to 3.9 Ma). Found in Kenya, Au. anamensis most likely lived in a wooded savanna. Fossil evidence for this species includes a preserved tibia that exhibits bipedal characteristics such as a right angle between the shaft and the proximal surface, and proximal articular condyles of nearly equal size. An abundance of the younger species Au. afarensis (4 to 2.8 Ma) and Australopithecus africanus (3 to 2 Ma) fossils also show clear signs of bipedalism, including a bicondylar angle, an anteriorly placed foramen magnum, laterally flaring iliac blades, longer femoral necks and heads, and the presence of a lumbar curve. Though Au. afarensis seems to have originated in Ethiopia and Au. africanus is found only in South Africa, both of these species lived in open habitats, possibly wooded savanna areas near a lake8-10.
Paranthropines are larger and more robust than australopiths, but have similar postcranial morphology, including bipedal adaptations similar to Australopithecus. The oldest paranthropine was found in Ethiopia and is known as Paranthropus aethiopicus (2.6 – 2.5 Ma). Although postcranial material is scarce, a possible P. aethiopicus calcaneus may exhibit bipedal adaptations. The younger paranthropine species, Paranthropus robustus (1.75 to 1.5 Ma) and Paranthropus boisei (2.5 to 1 Ma), exhibit the same bipedal adaptations as Au. africanus, which include an inferiorly oriented foramen magnum, modern human-like talus, relatively long femoral neck, and a bicondylar angle. In addition, the hand anatomy of P. robustus implies a grip capable of tool use, while the radius of both P. robustus and P. boisei implies Paranthropus retained the ability to effectively climb trees. Paleoecological studies suggest these species were living in open woodland or savanna habitats.
All species included in the genus Homo are obligatatory bipeds and show evidence of tool use, beginning with the species Homo habilis (i.e. "Handy Man") that dates between approximately 2.6 to 1.6 Ma, and continuing to the modern species Homo sapiens that dates between approximately 190,000 years ago (Ka) to the present8-10.

Ebola outbreak in DRC ends: WHO calls for international efforts to stop other deadly outbreaks in the country
Posted on 29 July 2018 by davidrcurry
Milestones :: Perspectives
Ebola – DRC
News Release – KINSHASA/GENEVA
Today marks the end of the ninth outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The World Health Organization (WHO) congratulates the country and all those involved in ending the outbreak, while urging them to extend this success to combatting other diseases in DRC.
WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and Regional Director for Africa, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, joined Minister of Health Dr Oly Ilunga for the announcement in Kinshasa.
"The outbreak was contained due to the tireless efforts of local teams, the support of partners, the generosity of donors, and the effective leadership of the Ministry of Health. That kind of leadership, allied with strong collaboration between partners, saves lives," said Dr Tedros.
Unlike previous Ebola outbreaks in the country, this one involved four separate locations, including an urban centre with river connections to the capital and to neighbouring countries, as well as remote rainforest villages. There were initial concerns that the disease could spread to other parts of DRC, and to neighbouring countries.
Within hours of the outbreak being declared on 8 May, WHO released US$2 million from its Contingency Fund for Emergencies, deployed a team to augment capacity in the field, and activated an emergency incident management system.
"WHO moved quickly and efficiently," said Dr Moeti, "We also demonstrated the tremendous capacity of the African region. More than three-quarters of the 360 people deployed to respond came from within the region. Dozens of experts from Guinea spent weeks leading Ebola vaccination efforts here, transferring expertise which will enable the DRC to mount an effective response both within its borders and beyond."
Dr Tedros urged the DRC Government and the international community to build on the positive momentum generated by the quick containment of the Ebola outbreak.
"This effective response to Ebola should make the Government and partners confident that other major outbreaks affecting the country such as cholera and polio can also be tackled," said Dr Tedros. "We must continue to work together, investing in strengthened preparedness and access to healthcare for the most vulnerable."
:: WHO's rapid response and scale up of operations in the DRC was funded by a total of US$4 million disbursement from the WHO Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE).
:: WHO and partners appealed for US$57 million to stop the spread of Ebola. The total funds received by all partners, as tracked by OCHA, amount to US$63 million.
:: Funding towards WHO's contribution to the Ebola response was provided from: Italy (€ 300 000), UN CERF (US$ 800 000), Gavi (US$ 1 million), USAID (US$ 5.3 million), Wellcome Trust and UK-DFID (US$ 4.1 million), UK-DFID (£5 million), Germany (€5 million), Norway (NOK 8 million), Canada (CAD$1 million), World Bank PEF (US$ 6.8 million), Japan (US$1.3 million), EU ECHO (€ 1.5 million) and from the Ebola MPTF (US$ 428,000) bringing the total to approximately US$ 36 million.
:: Germany's contribution is in recognition of the critical role the WHO CFE has played in responding to the Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and will go to replenish the CFE, which provided initial funds for the response efforts.
:: In-kind contributions for medical evacuation were received from Norway. EU ECHO support was provided for flights between Kinshasa and Mbandaka. Technical expertise was provided by Guinea, the UK, USA and Germany through the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). Merck provided the vaccines that were used to protect over 3300 people.
WHO partners in the DRC Ebola response included the following:
The Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), the Red Cross of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo Red Cross), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF), the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa-CDC), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US-CDC), ECHO, the Department for International Development (DFID), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the World Food Programme (WFP), UNICEF, UNCERF, UNOCHA, MONUSCO, UNFPA, International Organization for Migration (IOM), the FAO Emergency Management Centre – Animal Health (EMC-AH), the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the African Field Epidemiology Network (AFENET), the UK Public Health Rapid Support team, the EPIET Alumni Network (EAN), the International Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Emerging Diseases Clinical Assessment and Response Network (EDCARN), the World Bank and PATH. The Government of Guinea deployed more than 30 Ministry of Health staff to assist with the ring vaccination campaign, and Merck provided the Ebola vaccine. Additional coordination and technical support through the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), Association pour le développement de l'épidémiologie de terrain (EPITER), European Mobile Laboratory (EMLab), Infection Control Africa Network (ICAN), Institut Pasteur (IP), National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD), South Africa, Robert Koch Institut (RKI), and Emergency Medical Teams (EMT).
Ebola vaccine praised as Congo outbreak declared over
DRC government officially declares end of outbreak following the vaccination of over 3,000 people.
Geneva, 25 July 2018 – The first use of a vaccine to help contain an Ebola outbreak has been encouraging, Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, said as the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was officially declared over.
The DRC government formally declared the Ebola outbreak over on Tuesday 24 July after no new cases were reported for 42 days. From the 4 April through 9 July there were 54 confirmed cases of Ebola reported, with 33 deaths. A total of 3,300 people received investigational doses of the vaccine as part of a ring vaccination protocol – the same used to eradicate smallpox.
The vaccination was implemented by the Government of DRC and partners including WHO, which supported national authorities in coordinating the international health response, and Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). Gavi provided $1 million towards the vaccination effort.
"As soon as Ebola moved from isolated rural areas into Mbandaka – a major town and regional hub – there was justified concern that this outbreak could spiral out of control," said Dr Berkley. "It took months of hard work by a global coalition of UN agencies, NGOs and governments, led by the DRC government with WHO support, to carry out the surveillance, containment, contact tracing and public education needed to contain and defeat Ebola. This was the first time a vaccine was used as part of this wider response and it is encouraging that there were no cases of Ebola among those given the vaccine. We also now have valuable experience of how this vaccine can be used effectively in the field."
The vaccine has gone through Phase 3 trials, which showed the vaccine to be safe and highly effective, but has not yet been licensed by relevant regulatory authorities. While the vaccine goes through the licensing process, an agreement between Gavi and Merck, the developer of the Ebola vaccine, ensures that 300,000 investigational doses of the vaccine are available in case of an outbreak. It is these doses that were used in the DRC.
This agreement, an Advance Purchase Commitment announced in January 2016, is the first of its kind. It was designed to incentivise the rapid development of the vaccine as well as guarantee investigational doses are available while licensure is being secured. Gavi committed US$5 million to buy doses of a fully licensed vaccine as and when it becomes available. In return, Merck agreed to create the emergency stockpile…

Dr. James Dyess of Gretna, Louisiana was reportedly caught touching a female patient's breast and crotch area on camera.
A woman in Louisiana who suspected her doctor of molesting her used a hidden camera to secretly record the alleged abuse, leading to the doctor's arrest.
Police in Gretna, Louisiana arrested Dr. James Dyess, 57, on July 12 on two counts of sexual battery and one count of simple battery, The New Orleans Advocate reports.
The 35-year-old woman, who was not been identified, began seeing Dyess after hurting her back in a car accident and being referred to Dyess by her attorney, according to The Advocate.
Police Chief Arthur Lawson told the outlet that the woman felt that Dyess touched her sexually during the initial examination, and secretly recorded her next consultation with Dyess by hiding a cellphone in her purse, positioning her bag so that Dyess' actions would be caught on camera.
According to Lawson, the cellphone video shows Dyess touching the woman's breasts and crotch area.
The woman brought the video in to police and Dyess, who practices internal medicine and only sees patients referred to him by attorneys, was arrested at his practice, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. He was released that day on $20,500 bond.
Dyess and his attorney, Brian Capitelli, have both declined to comment, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.


Just had an issue with stars where after finishing my session, I thought I had shut down stars (but hadn't) and then fired up solver and started to review. Then got a popup from stars clientre infringing their t&c's.
SnG Solver does try to detect an active PokerStars session and disable calculations, but I've recently been contacted by PokerStars that apparently I'm missing some situations (I'm not sure if this is because of a change to their client software or something thats just been overlooked until now). Thus, they have started showing the warning message that you've seen if you have both programs open at the same time.
I'm working to correct this, but in the meantime, you'll need to make sure you have SnG Solver closed while the PokerStars client is running. I'm sorry for this inconvenience.
Any updates on a new version? Any idea when one will be coming out? Its been 2 years since the last update. 2 YEARS!
Jason wanna answer my question?
does Sng Solver have a feature like SNG wiz where it shows when and how much a hand becomes profitable?? sorry, i didnt explain that well but im sure u are familiar with the feature. basically it is a chart (i included a screen shot) that shows ur hand vs every possible range and its profitability or unprofitably. i clicked around in solver and didnt see anything replicating it. am i missing something?
I'm having the same problems downloading sng solver.
How can I fix this, anyone got any ideas?
I tried to download setup more then 20 times but no luck, it always aborts at around 50mb.
Does anybody knows what's the problem? As I bought a new computer I just need a setup.exe file (without data files) so if anybody has it please pm me.
Hi Jason, or anyone else out there. I've emailed, PMed, and posted here.
All I want is a download link that works. My roommate from years ago had you email him the setup files in like 6-7 different parts - does anybody else have that?
Anybody willing to toss the .exe setup file on some upload or torrent site?
Hey I notice in many situations the range the program suggests in table view and the range it lists in the equilibrium strategy tree are different. Which one is more accurate? Thanks.

2021 NHL Draft Prospects: Zachary L'Heureux
Adding an aggressive power forward from Halifax
By Lukehocking Jul 12, 2021, 11:18am MDT
Share All sharing options for: 2021 NHL Draft Prospects: Zachary L'Heureux
This year has been a roller coaster for the junior hockey landscape. Leagues didn't start on time, there were long pauses and many had limited play. Now, with less than a month before the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, teams are trying to make sense of this past year in order to sift through a chaotic draft class.
The Colorado Avalanche will have the 27th pick in the draft and like last year, they will have to wait through most of the first round to see who is still on the board when they take the podium.
One option that might be availible at that pick is forward Zachary L'Heureux of the Halifax Mooseheads of the QMJHL.
Date of Birth: May 15, 2003
Team: Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL
Position: LW/C
Shooting: L
Central Scouting (NA Skater): 30
Elite Prospects: 27
Future Considerations: 28
Bob Mackenize: 27
The past few years have been a whirlwind for L'Heureux. Drafted third overall in the 2019 QMJHL draft to the Moncton Wildcats, he went on to lead the league in rookie scoring with 20 goals and 53 points in 55 games. After the tremendous rookie campaign, Zachary was the main part of a blockbuster trade that sent him to Halifax for this past season. He then went on to play 33 games in the QMJHL's Atlantic Canada bubble this season where he put up 19 goals and 39 points.
L'Heureux's biggest strength is his transitional play. He is excellent getting the puck from defenders and moving through the neutral zone, finding open ice and entering the zone with speed and space. He thrives on that. Through his rush zone entries, he creates a lot of scoring chances and rebounds for his teammates.
He does most of his offensive damage in and around the net. That's where L'Heureux uses his body the most to protect the puck, create space and score dirty goals. Below the faceoff dots is where he is at his best.
When viewing his game, you can see that he will often make possession based plays instead of risky scoring chances. He'll make short passes away from danger and back to the perimeter. Through that, Halifax tends to have the puck a lot and are able to control the play while he is on the ice.
Skating, is there. Its not a strength or weakness for him. But as we have seen the Avalanche draft classes of late, all 1st rounds have to be able to skate and skate well. For L'Heureux, he will never be a burner but he has solid fundamentals and lower body strength which makes his stride and extension nice and tight. Like every prospect, he will have to work on it and study how guys use a lower center of gravity to their advantage. That said, there should not be concerns for his skating coming into pro in a couple of years.
Areas of improvement
One thing that has come up in conversations is his multiple suspensions. He's got to be more disciplined on the ice when making the decisions to hit - the Nazem Kadri conundrum. While it's nice to see an aggressive forecheck, committing to the hit too early instead of reading the defensive player and positioning himself to get puck over the body gets L'Heureux into trouble. You love the aggressive play, taking away the space and forcing the team to make a choice, but stay disciplined.
Another area where he needs to improve is his long distance passing. It needs to be more accurate and crisp. He is getting caught making cross ice passes that are too easily picked off or his teammates are being forced to slow down for them. He needs to do a better job of anticipating and leading with the pass. While he is great in the short passing game, L'Heureux will have to speed up the perimeter passing and decision making at the next level.
He led the QMJHL rookies in scoring in his rookie year then improved his totals from 0.96 PPG to 1.18 PPG. With 2 more years left of CHL eligibility, I expect these number to keep increasing as he becomes the player to beat in Halifax.
"High end compete level, strong on the puck, great shooter, solid three zone player." – QMJHL Scout
"A forward who blends power and skill to produce at a high level. L'Heureux has a wicked wrist shot and underrated touch as a passer to make him a dangerous dual threat. Discipline has become an issue." – Dobber Prospects
Potential Development
L'Heureux will spend the next two years in Halifax, working on his disciple, leading a Halifax team as their offensive player and working on his penalty killing skills - to use as another tool in his tool box once he turns pro. We won't see him in an NHL uniform for a few years as he will likely need a year or two in the AHL after leaving junior. Teams should expect a three or four year development path for him. He has all the attributes to round out as a solid middle six left wing who can kill penalties, and add a secondary goal scoring threat.
Where will be he drafted
Teams will likely start looking more closely at him in the later part of the first round. we likely won't see him falling far into the 2nd.

Can You Wash And Reuse Disposable Gloves?
Reusing disposable gloves may increase the risk of germ exposure during the coronavirus pandemic.
Monica Torres
Senior Reporter, Work/Life
Apr 8, 2020, 07:31 PM EDT
Because the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 can spread via contaminated surfaces, some people are taking the extra step of wearing gloves for apparent protection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests people use gloves while disinfecting the high-touch surfaces of their homes and discard them after each cleaning. If you're using reusable gloves for the sole purpose of ridding your house of coronavirus, the CDC says to use them only for that purpose.
But what if you're outside your home and want to use and reuse gloves to do grocery runs or other errands?
Health experts weighed in, and don't recommend either practice.
You probably shouldn't be wearing gloves at all.
One reason health experts don't endorse wearing gloves outside is that they can give wearers a false sense of security that they don't need to wash their hands.
The World Health Organization does not believe that wearing gloves outside is effective in preventing coronavirus infections: "Regularly washing your bare hands offers more protection against catching COVID-19 than wearing rubber gloves," the health organization said in a Facebook post.

During the coronavirus pandemic, even sanitizing gloves may not be helpful for stopping the spread of germs.
It's difficult to use gloves without causing some contamination.
Both latex and nitrile medical-style gloves are designed to be single-use, noted Lucy Wilson, the chair of the department of emergency health services at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
One reason for this is because "removing them is difficult, and you can contaminate yourself and them by removing them," she said. Properly taking off gloves involves inverting them, and this can be difficult to do without contaminating the gloves.
After the gloves are inverted, if you are going to reuse them, "You then have to figure out a way to get them in their regular shape without contaminating them," she said. With their flimsy shape, that's going to be difficult.
Washing disposable gloves can compromise their integrity.
Once you have used your gloves to touch potentially contaminated surfaces, cleaning them for reuse comes with risks. Medical gloves are not indestructible barriers. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration noted that even wearing hand lotion under latex gloves can break down the material.
"Disposable gloves were not designed for long-term wear," said Kelly Reynolds, director of the environment, exposure science and risk assessment center at the University of Arizona. "Reusing disposable gloves may increase the risk of exposure to viruses as microscopic tears can develop over time. Washing gloves can disrupt the integrity of the glove and is not recommended."
It's easier to keep hands clean than gloves.
If you're thinking of trying to sanitize your gloves for reuse, recognize that most peoples' hands are easier to clean and maintain than gloves.
"Let's say you touch a surface that happens to be contaminated, even though statistically that's going to be less likely outside of the health care setting," said Thomas Russo, the chief of the infectious disease division at the University of Buffalo. "The secret then is to go ahead and decontaminate your hand and/or glove. The problem is that the gloves are much more difficult to decontaminate."
Russo noted that rubber latex gloves can easily tear and break with cleaning and multiple uses, but your hands can withstand this kind of regular cleaning. "Your hands are really easy to maintain [with] good hand hygiene," he said.
Keep in mind how this coronavirus primarily spreads: Wilson noted that it is not absorbed through unbroken skin, it enters through your mucus membranes or openings. "Your skin is a protective layer in and of itself, but you have to be sensible and careful with hand-washing," Wilson said.

Business Impossible! Why small businesses fail and what to do about it.
I was in my home town just outside of Philadelphia last week on my way back from a business trip in India and I was hanging out at my cousin's house one night watching a Flyers hockey game and after the game the subject of different T.V. shows came up; Tony and I watch a lot of the same programs so it is a topic that we discuss often. He told me about this show he started watching called Restaurant Impossible which is a show about a Master Chef who goes around the country to failing restaurants and completely redoes the restaurant, everything from the items on the menu to the interior design and sometimes even the chef. It sounded interesting and he happened to have a couple of episodes recorded on his DVR so we watched one and I liked it, the next day I watched another and since then I have watched a few more.

Making A Difference In Lockdown - Lucy Bronze
Lockdown kept us apart but it also brought many players closer than ever to fans through acts of charity and tireless work with club trusts and foundations. England star Lucy Bronze led by example.
You've used social media a lot during lockdown – has that been to amplify your voice?
Definitely. I used to cut myself off from it a little bit – more to help myself. But I realised it's a way to connect with people and engage with them. I use it less for myself, more to share my experience and help charities. It gains a bigger reach with your fanbase and really helps to spread the word.
You've been involved in many good causes, including a keepy-up challenge…
Loads of people ask for help. I wish I could help everyone but there just aren't enough hours in the day. The keepy ups were with a little girl, Imogen. That was a surprise call I did with her and then I stupidly told her I would do 500 keepy-ups! So I had to do them all in a row for a video because I'd promised her.
Is technology making it easier to do more community work?
Yeah – there are loads of things like the keepy-up video. I did a phone call with a lady called Michelle who works in Tescos. When you see those videos on social media it gives you a really good feeling. They ended up cutting the video short for social media but I was on the phone for 15 or 20 minutes. I was telling her how amazing she was and she was telling me I was amazing! I had to say, "Michelle, this phone call is for you – it's not for me." I loved doing it. It's great being able to talk to fans.
And you have ongoing charity commitments too…
The things that are really close to me are kids, although I love animals as well. I love supporting kids and helping them in any way I can. The NSPCC is a charity that I really love. It's a huge charity in England and my aunty Julie Tough did a lot of work with them in the North East, so I got involved too. I do little things to help them. I did a collaboration to promote the charity and encourage people to give more.
And you also work with some lesser-known charities…
I've been involved with Team Kenya. It's quite a small charity and it's another one I got involved with through my aunty. Team Kenya helps educate young girls predominantly and supports children through some horrible experiences that really hit home when you hear the stories. I've actively supported them for the last three or four years and tried to make sure I helped them during coronavirus. Charities generally have needed a lot of help at this time.
Does it still give you a buzz to shine a light on good causes with your fame?
I absolutely love it. I still don't see myself in that light. I get reminded constantly by my agent Marie, who works at the PFA, and my mum and my aunty. They are always finding things I can help out and support with. I'm still in a bit of disbelief that I have this platform and I want to use it. My mum and family say I should speak up and use my voice because people can listen. There are a lot of things I can say that might help, but you have to say the right things and I am really conscious of that as well.
Will your community experiences during Covid-19 have a long-term influence on what you do?
I'd like to think I can continue doing these things – especially with all the protests that are going on now for Black Lives Matter. I'd like to think it's not a flash in the pan. Coronavirus has maybe given people a different perspective on life. People are really thinking about what's important, and you see that with the way people are supporting the NHS. It has been easy to take things for granted until you really rely on them.."
After another hugely successful year personally – including being hailed the best female player in the world by the BBC – Lucy won her third consecutive French league title with Lyon. Due to Covid, it was awarded off the pitch with games to spare
"There is a disappointment in the way things have happened," Lucy said. "I sit down at the start of the season and plan the direction I want to go in and my goals, what games I'm looking forward to.
"Football is my life and that has been disrupted. But, when you put it into context of what's really going on at the moment you just have to be thankful that you're healthy and safe. Football has to take a side step at the moment. I'm frustrated but I'm experienced enough and old enough to know that it's the right thing to do."


There will not be excessive numbers of black and white bull calves coming on to the Irish market this spring, according to Seamus Scallan, the owner of Wicklow Cattle Company.
"That's because many dairy farmers put sweeper Hereford and Angus bulls in with their cows earlier than normal during the 2014 breeding season," he said.
As a consequence, Scallan believes all of these additional coloured calves will be reared and finished as beef on Irish farms.
"I am not sure if this is the beginning of a breeding trend within the dairy sector or a one-off decision taken by dairy farmers in light of the pending super levy threat that was in the air last year.
The Wicklow Cattle Company exports 1,500 black and white bull calves to Spain on a weekly basis, by way of a stop-off in Cherbourg. Calves leaving Ireland will be in Barcelona within 54 hours of departing this country. Scallan's team is also exporting 150 calves from Northern Ireland on a fortnightly basis.
"We see tremendous scope to expand the level of business we do in Northern Ireland. All our calves are processed at a new export assembly centre on the outskirts of Dungannon in Co Tyrone," he said.

What Canadian Voters Actually Care About
Our election hub, Change #Elxn42, shows that some of the biggest trending petitions speak to the top issues the party leaders are taking on: clean energy, pharmacare, Syrian refugees, missing and murdered indigenous women, and Canada Post, to name just a few.

A large group of raised hands
Not to brag, but working at Change.org Canada is a lot of fun. Every week, we get to see the 200 or so petitions Canadians start on all sorts of topics, giving us a good sense of what matters most to people, and why. Throw in an election campaign that has everyone thinking more deeply about what kind of country they want, and suddenly you've got over 160 election-related petitions accounting for over 1.2 million signatures, and counting -- it's like having our own RSS feed that could be called "What Voters Actually Care About."
Changing Policy
It came as no surprise to us that many of the most important electoral issues are at the center of conversations playing out on Change.org. Our election hub, Change #Elxn42, shows that some of the biggest trending petitions speak to the top issues the party leaders are taking on: clean energy, pharmacare, Syrian refugees, missing and murdered indigenous women, and Canada Post, to name just a few.
In 2015, when an issue matters to a lot of people, they will mobilize using online tools that were unavailable even five years ago -- everyday people can get organized to effect meaningful change around the big questions of the day.
But things get even more interesting when we look at some the lower profile electoral issues that are gaining traction through petitions. If a problem isn't getting much attention on the campaign trail, online petitions are proving to be an effective way to get a candidate's attention.
An example: Sarah Gilbert of Chilliwack, B.C. is the coast guard captain's granddaughter trying to convince the government to re-open the Kitsilano Coast Guard Base. It's not the kind of issue that dominates the electoral discourse, and in years past would likely have gone undressed. But Sarah has mobilized over 10,000 supporters online, and has received direct responses on her petition from Thomas Mulcair, Elizabeth May and Justin Trudeau.
This bodes well for the promise of politics in the digital age: because Canadians are able to mobilize online effectively, issues that may never have made it on to the news or in party platforms are nonetheless getting some attention -- and some commitments -- from candidates vying for the job of Prime Minister.
Here's yet another inspiring and exciting trend we weren't really expecting: Canadians are increasingly turning to online activism to try to change or affect the political and electoral process itself.
While the new Elections Act doesn't allow Elections Canada to promote voting among youth, that hasn't stopped young Canadians from finding innovative ways to take up challenge of encouraging their peers to vote. Karilynn Ming Ho of Vancouver has taken a novel approach. Her #DrakeTheVote campaign asks Toronto-born rap superstar Drake to film a short video encouraging young people to vote. She's asking: "Drake, will you 'Make Us Proud' and get Canadian youth out to vote?" With over 8500 supporters and some growing media attention, she just might convince him to do it. And could have a lasting impact: one of the keys to being a life-long voter is starting early.
Others campaigns include asking celebrities to tweet pro-voting messages, suggesting the voting age should be lowered to 16, calling for a youth issues debate and asking youth to pledge to vote. The sheer volume of online activity around this campaign debunks the idea that young people are disengaged -- they may be non-partisan, but they are certainly not apathetic.
That's not to say that petitioning to change the system is only for 18-34-year-olds: there are a dozen petitions addressing the frequency or structure of election debates, there's a popular petition to ban wasteful elections signs, one to establish digital voting, one to reform the Senate appointment method, and dozens more addressing democratic reform or cooperation among opposition parties.
Big issues, small issues, national issues, local issues, and issues that speak to the very heart of our democracy: Canadians are going online to engage politicians in new and interesting ways, with impressive results. And there's a trend that's only just begun.

Björk's Acting Debut "The Juniper Tree" Is a Beautifully Grimm Fairy Tale
by Marshall Estes July 12, 2019 July 12, 2019
Nietzchka Keene's adaptation of the Grimm fairy tale is a haunting black-and-white showcase for Björk.
As Grimm's fairy tales go, "The Juniper Tree" is an often overlooked gem. The folktale's story (a stepmother murders her stepson, only for him to return as a bird to seek revenge) can't be Disneyfied, and as such it's only popular among fairy tale fans. Similarly, Nietzchka Keene's 1990 adaptation of the story (currently enjoying a 4k restoration and a 35mm presentation in arthouse theaters like Chicago's own Music Box) was well received by critics but lacked commercial appeal.
As such, the movie's only lasting contribution to the general public is it being an answer to the trivia question "In what movie did Björk make her acting debut?". It's a shame because both The Juniper Tree and its source material deserve to be more widely known and appreciated; hopefully, the film's re-release will help accomplish this goal.
The Juniper Tree's plot keeps the original's folksy simplicity: in medieval Iceland, two sisters escape their village after their mother (Guðrún Gísladóttir) is killed for witchcraft. The younger sister, Margit (Björk, Dancer In The Dark), can see visions that no one else can see, while the older sister, Katla (Bryndis Petra Bragadóttir), uses rituals and talismans to get her desires fulfilled.
During their travels, Katla meets and seduces the widowed peasant, Jóhann (Valdimar Örn Flygenring), who agrees to marry her. Jóhann's son, Jónas (Geirlaug Sunna Þormar), quickly befriends Margit but despises Katla. As tensions rise between the newly formed family, Jónas' hatred for his stepmother escalates until it reaches a tragic conclusion.
Perhaps the biggest change the movie makes to the original folktale is its addition of ambiguity and nuance to the narrative. The Brothers Grimm were known for many things, but nuance was not one of them. Characters were either truly good or purely wicked, magic is unmistakable, and everyone always gets what they deserve. Keene forgoes this simplicity by making the stepmother, if not good, then understandable. Katla does not despise Jónas from the start, as she tries to befriend him, but his refusal to accept her as his stepmother turns her against him. Adding to the tension is her tempestuous relationship with Jóhann, who seems to desire her one moment, and hate her the next.
There is even ambiguity towards Katla's role in Jónas' death, which is framed as more an accident, although the situation occurs due to Katla goading the boy. While the film doesn't excuse Katla's more heinous actions after the boy dies, the audience can't help but hold sympathy for her. She isn't evil, just a desperate woman forced into marriage due to extreme circumstances.
Both The Juniper Tree and its source material deserve to be more widely known and appreciated.
The magic in The Juniper Tree is also kept ambiguous, with it never being clear if the fantastical elements are real, or just figments of the characters' imagination. Throughout the narrative, Margit is haunted by visions of her dead mother and the encounters gain in intensity. At first, Margit just sees her mother sitting or standing, but eventually, her mother leads her to strange places, showing the girl a hole in her chest that causes Margit to black out when she places her hand in it.
However, while Katla knows about and encourages Margit's visions, the other characters don't share them, making it possible that they are just hallucinations. Similarly, while it's possible that Katlas has bewitched Jóhann into loving her, and requires witchcraft to keep him interested, it's also just as likely that he's just a young widower who doesn't love his wife, but lusts after her and needs a partner to survive in such a harsh setting.
One would expect a cast full of Icelandic actors who are early in their career and speaking lines in English to feel stilted and awkward, but the cast uniformly gives good performances. Unsurprisingly, Björk is the breakout star in the film. She portrays Margit with a melancholy naivety that makes her feel vulnerable and much younger than the 21-year-old she was at the time of filming.
Her most affecting scene coming near the middle of the film, after she witnesses a fight between Katlan and Jóna. Margit goes to a beach where she once saw a vision of her mother. Facing a rocky cliff where her mother once sat, she begs her mother's absence to "take me with you" before crumpling onto the sand. It's a short scene, but heartbreaking.
The rest of the cast does a great job as well. Bragadóttir expertly portrays Katla's transformation from kind and gentle to a woman who becomes hardened out of necessity, and Flygenring does a great job portraying a man with a conflicted relationship with his wife. While Þormar has a few odd line deliveries, his facial expression and body language still make his performance feel natural, and it's a shame this is his only film credit.
Keene's decision to shoot in black and white is inspired, the monochrome cinematography enhancing the dreamlike quality of the film without making it feel like a full-out fantasy flick. The visuals also work well in black and white, with scenes of Jónas hanging a wreath on his mother's grave and Margit's mother standing Madonna-like on a rocky ledge feeling particularly powerful. Perhaps the greatest testament to Randy Sellar's ability as a cinematographer is that the shots of rainbows and aurora borealis still look natural and gorgeous without color.
While The Juniper Tree has beautiful visuals and engaging performances, your enjoyment of the film will be determined if you can stand a film with low action. The film is an hour of build up to a terrible event, with the aftermath only taking place in a little under 15 minutes. As such, the film is mostly devoted to intrafamilial conflict and Margit's strange visions and lacks the drama usually found in fairy tale adaptations. There is definitely an audience for this sort of film, and they will love The Juniper Tree, but anyone not part of that group will most likely feel that the 78-minute runtime is still too long.
Will this rerelease of The Juniper Tree boost the moviegoing public's awareness of this overlooked movie? I doubt it, as its arthouse run will only attract nerdy cinephiles and diehard Björk fans, but that doesn't bother me. This is a film that deserves to be seen, but it's not a film for everyone. What this rerelease does, though, is give its intended audience a chance to see it in theaters for the first time in almost thirty years. That's good enough for me.
The Juniper Tree is enjoying a 35mm presentation at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago, premiering July 12. Get tickets here.

The game-changing Onyx-IP encoder and decoder set to demo at NAB 2022
Apr 13, 2022 | Latest News & Events
Able to stream over a variety of IP formats at bitrates up to 120Mb/s, the Onyx-IP is ideal for live sports coverage.
PRESS RELEASE: Southampton, UK — Domo Broadcast Systems (DBS) announces the release of the Onyx-IP family of encoders and decoders. Taking latency down to unheard of levels and allowing for video to be transmitted down two different paths, the Onyx is a game-changer for live sports coverage and remote production. It will be the showcase item at the exhibition stand at this year's NAB.
Onyx HEVC is a broadcast-quality H.265 encoder, offering exceptional compression ratios on video resolutions up to 4K UHD. It is ideal for remote production applications over leased lines or satellite, handling 4 HD or 1 UHD feed with ultra-low latency.
"We know an issue for broadcasters has been the risk of losing a transmission," explains Richard Lane, Broadcast Engineering Lead at Domo Broadcast Systems. "Onyx encoders can stream across dual networks using a variety of IP formats including SRT, at bitrates of up to 120Mb/s. If one network should fail, the transmission will still make it through the other. So, viewers get to see the action in closer to real time, and broadcasters reduce the risk of dead air by having a back-up transmission path."
The use of ST2022-7 technology at the decoder ensures glitch-free recovery from network errors or path fail over. For legacy systems and satellite modem connections, the Onyx encoder is equipped with ASI inputs and outputs.
"Transmitting over IP can add security risks — we know broadcasters don't want to risk having their valuable content stolen," says Richard. "The Onyx takes care of that. Broadcasters can employ built-in encryption mechanisms, such as AES over SRT or BISS, to protect their content."
The Onyx builds on the Domo Broadcast Systems' Sapphire family of encoders and decoders, which have been the go-to solution for broadcasters around the world for several years.
"We're always looking to innovate, and have become renowned for our bespoke solutions able to meet the most intricate of our broadcast customers' needs," says Mike Budge, Broadcast Unit Director for Domo Broadcast Systems. "Our close tie with the motor sport broadcast industry was one of the main catalysts behind our refinements made to the Sapphire and ultimately our development of the Onyx. We wanted to build upon the Sapphire — already in wide use for motor sport coverage and other major global sports events — to meet the industry's desire list for additional capabilities.
"The ultra-low latency levels of the Onyx and its ability to transmit simultaneously over dual networks and using a variety of IP formats were hoped for by the industry, but considered by many to be wishful thinking. But tell us something is impossible, and we will accept and meet the challenge!"
The Onyx's unique quad mode allows four HD inputs to be synchronised and encoded with end‐to‐end latencies as low as 40ms. This high‐density and low‐latency encoding is ideal for coverage of live sporting events.
"We were able to test the Onyx with a major motor sport broadcaster," states Richard. "This in-field testing under real-life conditions and working directly with the broadcaster's team has allowed us to continue to make refinements. We will always be striving to add to the capabilities of the Onyx.
"Once you make one wish come true, the ideas for others keep flowing."
The Domo Broadcast Systems team will be showcasing the Onyx at this year's name NAB exhibition in Las Vegas, 23‒27 April 2022. Please visit us at our stand: West Hall — W7822.

Chrysanthemum 9 is a new formulation based on the traditional principles of dispelling wind-heat. The wind-heat syndrome may produce fever, sore throat, eye irritation, and headache; it can be treated either as a toxic-heat syndrome (see Ilex 15 and Forsythia 18 for examples of that approach) or as a disorder that causes vascular congestion, which is the focus of Chrysanthemum 9. Vascular congestion produces a headache, sometimes severe (as in migraine), which is an objective of this formula; achyranthes is included to drain stagnated blood downward. Chrysanthemum 9 differs from other headache formulas: Angelica 14 is for wind-cold, Cnidium 9 is for blood stasis (combined with wind syndrome), Patrinia 14 is for headache due to sinus infection, and Gentiana 12 is for liver fire. The wind-heat disorder often comes on quickly and the patient has a hot, irritable feeling (though usually no fever). The symptoms may accompany an acute illness, such as common cold and influenza (the traditional treatment is Morus and Chrysanthemum Combination, Sang Ju Yin, which can be approximated by combining Chrysanthemum 9 with Ilex 15). The ingredients were also selected for their ability to treat hypertension. This formula improves circulation to the brain, relaxes the vessels, and helps treat hypertension. Alternative hypertension formulas are Uncaria 6, which is aimed at treating internal wind with liver/kidney deficiency and Tian Ma Gou Teng Pian (Pine Mountain), which treats internal wind and fire agitation, and Pueralex (White Tiger), which alleviates internal heat and tension. For patients with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, one can add Lotus Leaf Tablets.

You are here: Home / Club News / General News / Winter Swim Times for Youth Training at Redruth Pool.
Please find listed below future Winter Swim Times for Youth Training at Redruth Pool starting Tuesday 1st October.
With the amount of Nipper Juniors expected this year we find ourselves in a position we need to split the sessions.
7-8pm will be for All Youth/Nipper Junior Born in 1999-2001 inclusive.
8-9pm will be for all Youth born in 1995-1998 plus senior session.
We have had to do this as we are restricted to numbers in the pool.
For those with children in both sessions, hopefully this will not cause you a problem and, if between yourselves as parents , perhaps organise a car share system so you may only need to drop at one session.
Session costs this year will remain at £2.50 per hour , to be possibly revised in 2014.
I am very hopeful we will have a professional swim coach again this year.

I'm a Registered Nurse with incurable wanderlust. I write a blog with my husband about ethical and off the beaten path travel, and overlanding is a big part of that! I just returned from a women-only expedition across Southern Africa, and spent last summer overlanding through national parks in the Western US. At home I travel in my Subaru Forester (named Forrest) and rooftop tent, and abroad I've rented a variety of vehicles to get me around!
Kenya is my favorite country. It's special to me because it was my first big solo trip abroad, and because I spent a summer living with a host family there who I'm still close with. I did an overland trip from Mombasa to Nairobi a couple years ago in a beat-up old Land Rover Defender 110. It was a challenge but I loved seeing Kenya under my own steam!
Who or what inspired you to choose independent vehicle travel as your mode of transportation?
On safari years ago, I met some overlanders traveling through Tanzania with a rooftop tent on their Land Rover. I knew immediately that was the dream for me!
not to be afraid of places that get labeled "dangerous." I love traveling in developing countries and getting off the tourist track - on the ground you'll find it's just regular people living their lives, not the stereotypes we see in the news. As long as you practice common sense, you can make friends and have an amazing time just about anywhere.
sometimes you just want to order takeout and the thought of breaking out the stove and cooking after a long day on the road is too much!
What do you think is the biggest challenge for women overlanders?
Being taken seriously. I just went on an overland expedition through Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa with 4 other women, and every time we stopped someone would ask us "Where are the men?" Seeing women overlanding alone is still unusual enough that people think we can't do it. That will change as more of us get out there!

Leekes Retail and Leisure Group, based in South Wales, has reported another year of strong results. The family-run business which has been operating for over 120 years advised that the excellent trading reported in the year to 31 March 2018 had continued into the first half of the current financial year.
The Leekes Retail and Leisure Group comprises a portfolio of Leekes home department stores together with the Vale Resort at Hensol. The retail business built upon its expansion into England with the acquisition of Park Furnishers Bristol in 2016 whilst the Vale Resort has benefited considerably from the investment in the world class wedding and event venue at Hensol Castle.
The Group achieved turnover of more than £85 million in the year to 31 March 2018 which resulted in an EBITDA of £4.3m and strong pre-tax profits. Now in the first half of the 2018-9 financial year, it has seen a further improvement in group turnover and profits with the directors having announced that the Group has already achieved last year's EBITDA after just eight months of trading.
Reflecting on the past year in the leisure sector, Stephen Leeke, managing director of the Vale Resort, said "We are delighted to report strong sales and profits for the Vale Resort with excellent levels of growth in bedroom and food and beverage revenues together with encouraging improvement in Resort membership numbers and spa business.
Commenting on the success of the retail sector within the Group, Emma Leeke, managing director of Leekes Retail, said: "We are very pleased to post a great set of results in what has been a particularly challenging retail environment. Our trading in the first half of this year has also been exceptional with retail profits up substantially as a result of the excellent performance of our conservatory, window and door division as well as our fitted kitchen and bathroom departments."
The Group, with its considerable asset base of nearly £70 million, has, with the support of its bankers Barclays and Lloyds, been preparing the next stage of its expansion plans which includes the second phase of its development of Hensol Castle which sees the addition of twenty-nine bedrooms as well as an 80 cover restaurant.

An experimental film with subtitles and anthropomorphism about how rabbits and the environment are effected by vivisection and global warming.
I LOVE FASHION and BEAUTY products but when I did research about the fur and makeup industry I was surprised by how "uncool" it was to care about animals.
therefore, I wanted to develop my skills in modeling, acting, and filmmaking by exploring UNIQUE and avant-garde DESIGNS, especially those that use new, sustainable methods like upcycling, recycling, and anthropomorphism.
watch the full length film, bunnies at night, to see the props and set which were 90% made out of upcycled materials on the player above.

Саганакі () — традиційна грецька сирна закуска, яка смажиться на сковороді або запікається на грилі.

Виготовлення

Для виготовлення можуть використовуватися різні сири, наприклад, кефалотірі, фета або халлумі. Назва страви походить від грецького найменування сковорідки з двома ручками, на якій зазвичай і смажиться сир (в оливковій олії). При смаженні можуть додаватися додаткові складові, такі як креветки і мідії. Готову страву, як правило, подається з скибочкою лимона і з хлібом.

В американських і канадських ресторанах грецької кухні склався звичай подачі до столу «палаючого саганакі», який заливають свіжовичавленим лимонним соком. Вважається, що цей обряд виник в 1968 році в Чикаго ресторані «Парфенон».
