PIP silicone gel breast implants
Update - European Commission committee on health risks publishes final opinion

The European Commission's Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) has published the final version of its updated opinion on the safety of PIP silicone gel filled breast implants.
The opinion remains consistent with the TGA's position on PIP implants.
The TGA published key points from the preliminary draft of SCENIHR's opinion on 30 October 2013. The text below has been updated to reflect the final version.
The European Commission's Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) has published an updated opinion on the safety of PIP silicone gel filled breast implants.
In the update, the SCENIHR states:
There is currently no convincing medical, toxicological or other data to justify removal of intact PIP implants. Implant removal in the absence of malfunction may be considered for women who are experiencing significant anxiety because they have a PIP breast implant. However, the decision to remove an intact PIP implant for this reason should be based on an individual assessment of the woman's condition by her surgeon or other treating physician after consultation.
PIP silicone gel filled breast implants are reported to have a higher prevalence and incidence of implant ruptures than other silicone breast implants, and that ruptures also tend to occur earlier in the implant life than is the case with other implants. These reports indicate that the shell/patch or the manufacturing process for a number of batches of PIP implants was of inferior quality, which may be a reflection of variations in the manufacturing process. The risk of implant rupture increases with implantation time. Quantifying the actual increase in failure rate is problematic because the failure rates of non-PIP implants are not well documented.
The purpose of this opinion is to update the previous SCENIHR opinion on PIP breast implants in February 2012. In the previous opinion the effects of both released polymeric and unpolymerised silones in general were considered. Since then several cyclic siloxanes (known as D4, D5 and D6) have been identified in PIP devices at higher concentrations than in other silicone breast implants. This has led to investigations into the possible toxicological consequences of their release from damaged PIP implants. It has become apparent that these chemicals are commonly present in the bodies of women even without breast implants. This is a consequence of the widespread use of siloxanes in many domestic products. Cyclic siloxanes D4, D5 and D6 are non-toxic and not irritant in standard tests.
SCENIHR: The Safety of Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) Silicone Breast Implants (pdf,440kb)
In some cases implant gel-bleed or rupture has been associated with an inflammatory reaction either locally or in regional lymph nodes. In other cases, ruptures were free of symptoms. Neither implant rupture, nor local inflammation, has been found to be associated with breast cancer or anaplastic large cell lymphoma. While there are differences in rupture rates there is no reliable evidence that ruptured PIP implants create a greater health risk than a ruptured silicone breast implant from another manufacturer.
In the case of implant rupture, explantation is strongly advised. Because of the widespread concern of undetected ruptures, there is a need for women with PIP breast implants to seek regular clinical examinations and, where deemed appropriate, individual counselling and imaging with ultrasonography or MRI.
The TGA has conducted a detailed investigation into PIP silicone gel breast implants. This investigation included extensive research, laboratory testing and collaboration with international regulators. Details of the TGA's investigations and advice regarding PIP implants can be found at: Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) breast implants. Since the last update on 11 February 2013, the TGA has received a further 54 reports of confirmed ruptures and 1 report of unconfirmed ruptures. A breakdown of all reports received is below.
Table: the number of instances of ruptured PIP breast implants notified to the TGA as of 16 May 2014
Confirmed ruptures1
Unconfirmed ruptures2
Surgeons 386 13
Patients 120 12
Supplier 24 -
All reporters
1 The TGA categorises ruptures as 'confirmed' if there is sufficient information to uniquely identify:
the implant used
that an X-Ray or other diagnostic image showed that the device was ruptured; or the implant was found to be ruptured when it was removed.
2 The TGA has sought further information but as yet has not received sufficient information to uniquely identify the rupture.
The SCENIHR report is a comprehensive survey of investigations carried out around the globe on PIP breast implants. The SCENIHR report recommendations for women with PIP silicone gel breast implants agree with those made by the TGA, and the report does not identify any matter that requires further investigation by the TGA. However, the TGA will continue to monitor the situation regarding PIP silicone breast implants and will take any action deemed necessary to ensure Australian women receive the most up to date advice.

Developing clear demands from the members
Submitted by Anon on 27 April, 2004 - 9:00
Solidarity talked to Kate Ahrens, a Unison United Left member who was elected last summer to the Health Group women's seat on the Union's National Executive and Healthcare Service Group Executive
Will the anger and frustration about Agenda for Change be expressed at the Unison Health conference?
KA: Only partially. The agenda contains some motions on the process of the Agenda for Change renegotiations and the second ballot, but not on the deal itself,which will be debated at the special conference in October.
Some of the discontent is about the tiny amount of information they are getting about the progress being made in the Early Implementer sites and the renegotiations at a national level. A great deal is over what members do know - unhappiness with national profiles, anger at the level of pay for Band 1, discontent over the unsocial hours payment system, and what appears to be clinical bias in the factors of the job evaluation scheme.
Has the union had any success at re-negotiating the problem areas of AfC?
KA: I don't know! The national union didn't attempt to re-negotiate anything until this month. The tactic of waiting to get some evidence out of the experiences of the Early Implementer sites has been undermined by the painfully slow progress that the EI sites have made. All the renegotiating work has been squeezed into the last couple of months before we have to make our final decision.
The Service Group Executive - and Unison's health membership - have been unable to judge whether any changes were possible, or how far we might be able to push things. My fear is that there will be some minor cosmetic changes to the scheme, but nothing substantial.
Last year, Unison members voted in favour of the initial implementation of Agenda for Change. What has changed since then?
KA: Last year, Unison's Health Service Group Executive voted overwhelmingly against simply endorsing the scheme as it stood.
The special conference last year was equally clear that without significant changes, Agenda for Change was not acceptable. The union voted to go ahead with Early Implementation to test out the scheme in a limited way. So far, very little has changed in the scheme. Unless something substantial happens in the next couple of months, I can't see how the union can recommend the scheme to our members.
There's a moderate sized 'opposition' now on the Health Service Group Executive; you've been able to win certain changes to the process for the second ballot. But can you have any hope of winning a position of opposition to the scheme this year? Won't the leadership advocate it as 'the only show in town', and better than the existing, out-dated pay system?
KA: It's difficult to see how they could do that with any credibility. It's more likely that there will be an attempt to argue that there have been some changes made, but not to all the areas that we identified as being problems. I have higher hopes that the special conference will reject the package if it remains unacceptable, but that relies on the members finding out all the facts about what Agenda for Change has meant in the EI sites.
Could there be a positive programme of demands for activists to unite around in opposition to the current AfC deal? Is Agenda for Change a take-it-or-leave-it deal, or could there be negotiated improvements to it, and then further consultation?
KA: I think identifying a set of positive demands for the way in which we want the deal changed would be extremely useful. The government have invested just as many years in negotiating this deal as the unions have, and they are not going to simply walk away from it. In the event of a 'no' vote, there would inevitably be further rounds of negotiations. And in what looks like the year before a general election, nobody in the government wants a prolonged or hostile dispute over NHS pay.
What will happen if the membership vote 'no' in October?
KA: It is very clear that it's not possible to implement Agenda for Change for some, and not others. So if we vote 'no', then Agenda for Change will not be implemented. I think what's very likely to happen is some extremely speedily convened negotiations which would have to involve all the health unions.
At that point, I think it's crucial that members tell the national union what bits of Agenda for Change we want to alter - going into these negotiations with a clear set of demands from the membership will be vital to ensuring that we can come out of it with a deal worth accepting.
There don't seem to be many motions on the Unison Health Conference agenda this year - is that because branches are mostly preoccupied with Agenda for Change, and are waiting for the special conference?
KA: I think so, yes. It's inevitably hard to concentrate on other issues when the biggest change to the pay and conditions of the entire health service staff in the history of the NHS is hovering just over the horizon. But to some extent, it's also true that many of the other hot issues of the day - privatisation, staff shortages, bullying management culture - have been around for such a long time, and we've talked about them so often before, that the question now isn't what to say about them at conference, but why we're failing to stop any of them. Almost all of the motions on this year's agenda are supported by the executive.
Obviously it's good that we've got consensus over our position against PFI, for example, but we don't seem to be taking action that changes the situation.
Why hasn't the left been able to field more candidates for the current round of Executive elections? Does the low number of contested seats suggest that the membership as a whole are satisfied with the current leadership?
KA: I think it's far more likely that most branches simply never discussed the possibility of nominating anyone. Not only are there a low number of contested seats, there are also a frighteningly high number of seats that don't have a candidate at all.
Interest in these elections has always been terribly poor, in my view. The Service Group Executives are the highest lay committees within the Service Groups. They are where, as members, we can expect to get oversight of the pay and conditions and industrial issues of the union. They are really important committees and could wield a lot of power and influence. But their status is weakened by the lack of interest in standing as candidates or even in voting.
Partly this is due to the poor communication between elected members of the committee and the members of the union.
Since I've been elected onto the National Executive, I've made it a point to send reports of all the SGE and NEC meetings out to every branch that I have e-mail contact for - I get no support from the union to send out reports. I've been staggered by the number of branches who tell me that mine are the first reports they've ever seen of what goes on at the Service Group Executive or the National Executive Committee.
We're there to represent the members, and yet the members don't even know who we are or what we're doing. It's not surprising, then, that they don't see the value in trying to hold us to account. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, though - until more people stand, and fight for a more open accounting of what goes on, members won't see the benefits in voting. But until more people vote, it's hard to persuade people that they should stand and make a big deal out of trying to win these elections.

With a busy team that deals with all marketing aspects of the company as well as the social media, it has been great working with Shelley (Social Intelligence) – she's helped up focus on the platforms we should be using in our industry.
We started our social media journey with very little insight on how it could be used for business. Getting a social media expert on board helped us set up a strategy and gave us lots of help in training staff across the business in understanding the basics of each platform. It was great having a plan of action linking where we were, to where we would like to be. We now have a great Twitter community with customers engaging and praising our team and company.
For us at Daniels it has been a Godsend to be able to send mish-mashed bits of information and content that has been magically formulated into blog posts! Along with help sharing these posts on out social media accounts.


As we came home from school today Little was quite distraught to find that she couldn't put her finger in the loop of the tag on her blanket. This was followed by much sobbing which, of course, made me second guess the act of cutting the tags open. But once I explained to/reminded her, a few times, that it was the blanket that had given her the "ouchy" on her finger and that I wanted to keep her safe, she switched to: " Blankie!! Aah No!!! Aah no!!" Over and over and over again!
So hopefully she gets it and it won't be like the time my Dad accidentally set my blanket on fire for her!!!
Tried to amputate her finger!
Not on the wrong foot anymore!!!
I am such an amazing parent.
Quick, fun & colorful coasters!!

Which is better: EC or Private Condo?
An Executive Condominium (EC) comprises a strange yet potentially lucrative option for first time home buyers. Indeed, often lauded as the perfect home for the Singaporean sandwich class – those who essentially earn too much to qualify for an HDB but not quite enough to invest in a condo – the Executive Condominium is a public-private hybrid reflecting both the attractive prices of public housing and the superior comfort of private condominiums.
The Executive Condominium becomes an obvious choice for those Singaporeans who can afford a little more than an HDB but cannot stretch to a private apartment. However, if you are in the situation where your finances allow you to make a choice between an executive condominium and a private one, then the decision is a little tougher. To this end, we shall lay out precisely in what scenario, and under what circumstances you may want to give Executive Condominiums a chance before rushing head over heels into the private sector.
(PS: you may wish to check out 2019's only EC launch Piermont Grand, at Sumang Walk.)
Who can buy an EC?
First off, an Executive Condominium comes with strings attached, and while a more in-depth account shall be provided later on, it is important to understand from the onset that some of the most stringent limitations ensure that a good amount of people cannot apply for this special type of flat to start with. So, before we go any further let's see if an Executive Condominium is on the cards for you to begin with.
You can apply if you meet the following criteria:
Your household income must not be above $14,000
You are a Singaporean Citizen
You have not owned any property, locally or overseas, in the last 30 months and you do not own any property now
You have not owned more than one HDB/DBSS or EC flat previously
You also have to fall under one of the following schemes:
Public Scheme: you apply either with your spouse (and children, if any), your parents (and siblings, if any), or solely with your children (granted that you have legal custody).
Fiance scheme: you are applying with your fiance.
Orphan scheme: you are an orphan and you are applying with a sibling.
If you need to be at least 21 if you are applying under any of the other schemes.
If you are applying for either the Orphan, the Fiance or the Public scheme, then at least one co-applicant needs to be either a Singapore Citizen or a Singapore Permanent Resident.
If you have survived the judgement above, passage is granted to apply for an Executive Condominium. You may wish to check out Rivercove Residences, Singapore's only EC launch in 2018.
Why do ECs even exist?
While private condo's have been part of the Singapore landscape since the early 70s, Executive Condominiums are a relatively new invention, only joining the scene in the late 90s. Singapore has, from its inception, followed a policy favouring homeownership, and as the society developed a stronger middle class, new ways had to be found to house its increasingly affluent population. Proverbially sandwiched between the public and private sector, the hybrid that is the Executive Condominium was thought up to form a bridge, catering to the upper middle class segment of society.
Disregarding the rules and stripped of its public characteristics, the Executive Condominium is in its physical form not just similar but absolutely identical to a condominium. It shares both in its enhanced comfort and rich variety of amenities such as swimming pools, private parks, tennis courts, 24/7 security and the like.
As for the differences, alas, you cannot have your cake and eat it too, at least not right away. While essentially synonymous in form, a framework of rules and regulations is attached to the Executive Condominium effectively differentiating it from their private counterparts.
The restrictions around ECs
Executive Condominiums were designed to serve as homes rather than investment options. To this end, anyone who buys an Executive Condominium has to live in it for at least five years before it can be sold on, and even after half a decade has passed you are restricted in that you can only sell the flat to Singapore Citizens or Singapore Permanent Residents. Subsequently, HDB bars foreigners from buying Executive Condominiums for another five years. After a full decade has passed the Executive Condominium effectively transforms into a private condominium, and it may as such be sold to anyone on the free market.
To contextualise the measures a little, Executive Condominiums are state-subsidized and meant to enhance homeownership for Singaporeans, not the investment opportunities for real estate moguls. As such, you will not be able to profit by buying a flat from the government and then selling it on when market prices surge. While it is a constraint, the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) does not harm anyone who primarily views an Executive Condominium as a roof over one's head, and intends to actually live in it.
What makes them so attractive?
The major factor enticing first time buyers to opt for an Executive Condominium, rather than a private one is its relatively more attractive price tag. While it has differed considerably over time, Executive Condominiums can be as much as 25 per cent lower. Add to this the option to get a grant from HDB, and one starts to see why so many first timers go for an Executive Condominium before they upgrade to a private condominium.
Prospects on Capital Gains
As noted before, after 10 years the Executive Condominium effectively turns into a private condominium. Seeing the lower price at which Executive Condominiums are bought, sitting out the 10 years makes for potential of substantive capital appreciation.
While the strings attached make it impossible for buyers to try and make a quick buck by buying and subsequently rapidly selling the flat, there is room for buyers to take advantage of long-term property appreciation. Boosted by a public-to-private property transition after 10 years, the Executive Condominium generally sees relatively more appreciation than other private property, such a private condominiums.
A Final Caveat
Comparing and contrasting the pro's and cons of an Executive Condominium versus that of a private condo paints the picture of a pretty good deal in terms of the former. Unless you wish to sell your condo within a decade of buying it, the executive variant poises as a strong contestant, especially weighing up its attractive price and subsequent large potential for long-term capital gains. Still, there remains one last caveat: while private condominiums tend to be freehold, ECs generally come with a 99 year lease.
Seeing that Singapore is a relatively young country, no property has yet come sufficiently close to the 99 year mark for anyone to start worrying about it, and price discrepancies between free and leaseholds haven't really appeared yet. Still, if you have long, long, long-term plans for your property than an EC may lose some of its appeal. Otherwise, and with a bit of patience, Executive Condominiums tend to be a relatively great bargain, both in terms of living and capital gains.

Great comparison! You might want to check on the eligibility though. Singles above 35 are not eligible to purchase ECs. They can only do so with another single. I.e. the Joint Single Scheme.
Hi PropertyRocking.sg, thank you for your good words 🙂 Yes, you are right, as per the HDB government website information, the minimum age for ECs is at least 35 years old, if applying under the Joint Singles Scheme. Please let us know, if you are in search of executive condominiums as our website http://www.99.co has some great listings on it!
Hi.. thanks for the nice write up comparison between EC & Pte Condos. Just want to highlight 3 things you mentioned. 1) You can owned a HDB currently to buy an EC as long as you qualify as a 2nd Timer. The 30 months rule is for those who owned a private property in or out of Singapore. 2) There is no Single Scheme for EC. Only Joint Singles Scheme. Both applicants must be SC and above 35 years of age. 3) There are very limited projects or locations that offers freehold status. Mostly are 99 yrs leasehold.
Thank you Catherine for taking up the time to write such a valuable comment. I will forward the add up information you provided to our author so that he can add into this article. Also, I am surprised to know how do you know a lot about properties? Do you work for an agency company or professional in this field? Hope to be in touch with you again 🙂
Hi, I'm Singaporean age 43, my wife PRC not PR of Singapore. I've a daughter age 4 now with my wife in Shanghai. Am I eligible to buy an EC?
Hi Raymond, I talked to my team regarding your case. To buy an EC, one of you should be a citizen (which you are) + PR (which I am afraid your wife is not as you said), so I don't think you would be eligible to buy an EC. At the same time, you should be eligible for other options to buy, please search our 99.co website for properties if that's the case. Thank you for contacting us via the comment section, feel free to reach us again.

What is the legality of co-applicant for E.C.? Must he or she be staying there in the E.C ? Once co-applicant had registered with the main-applicant and got the E.C unit successfully, will the co-applicant be able to move out and buy his or her own HDB ? Once the main-applicant got the E.C unit, can he or she have a foreigner spouse ? Thanks
Adam R.
Hi Fuad,
The co-applicant will not be able to "de-couple" from the unit under the new regulations set by HDB earlier this year. (See https://www.99.co/blog/singapore/hdb-decoupling/). Furthermore, once you own a newly launch EC (bought from the developer), you are not able to buy another HDB at the same time. It is also advisable if one of the applicants stay in the EC during the MOP.

My first property was a bto direct from hdb in 1996. Sold it in 2011 and bought another hdb from resale. Now looking to upgrade to an ec. Was told need to pay resale levy of 40k for first property. Do i need to pay the levy if i were to buy a private now (any diff if i sold my current hdb or dont)?
Any way not to pay the levy? Why wasnt the levy paid when i sold the first property to buy the resale back in 2011?
The resale levy is applicable only if:
– You dispose of your subsidised flat and then buy a second subsidised flat from HDB
– You dispose of your subsidised flat and then buy an EC from a developer where the land sale was launched on or after 9 December 2013, including those where tenders were not closed
You need not pay a resale levy if you are buying a Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flat from a developer, EC from a developer (where the land sale was launched before 9 December 2013), HDB resale flat or private residential property.
Hence, in your case, because you bought a resale after selling your 1st BTO, the resale levy wasn't applicable. However, because you are intending to buy a new EC now, the resale levy applied given your history with the BTO flat. In short, as long as you choose to buy from HDB again, the resale levy comes into effect. You can avoid it if you purchase a private property or EC which has passed its MOP period / built before 2013.
Hope this clarifies!

Currently I'm attached with my gf who has gotten a hdb flat (she purchase under the single scheme before and this is her second hdb flat). If let say I intend to get the ec together with her, am I consider a first timer as I've not apply any flat from hdb. Will I be penalized?
Hi Ace,
Yes, you will be considered a first timer if applying for the flat alone.
However, in the case where you and your gf applies together, it would require both you and your gf to be listed as owners of the unit. This means that your gf has to relinquish ownership of her current HDB flat within 6 months of collection of your keys, if you choose to purchase a brand new EC.
However, both of you can purchase a partially privatised EC (after 5 years) and still keep the HDB without penalty, provided that the MOP of the HDB has passed.
*A partially privatised EC means that it has reached 5 years old, and is only open to Citizens and PRs to purchase. It will fully privatize in 10 years, and is open to Foreigners. You can purchase either and still keep your HDB.

An author from Seaton whose partner was diagnosed with Huntington's disease has released a series of short stories to raise funds to help young people with the hereditary genetic disorder. Bruce Harris has published Fallen Eagles, which includes a story about a Scottish boy who loses his idolised mountaineer father in an accident and blames his uncle to such an extent that he contemplates murder. Other stories take the reader to the French Revolution, the First World War and to more contemporary situations, such as coming out, shaking off the parental yoke and exploring old and new love.

Graffiti vandals in Seaton caused police vehicles to be taken off the road after culprits targeted a force car and van. Vandals hit Seaton Police Station over Christmas Day and Boxing Day, daubing force vehicles and property with anti-police graffiti. Officers appealing for information about the vandalism said the damage could have impacted on the public because the vehicles had to be taken off the road. Sergeant Roy Hutter, of the Seaton Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "These acts of mindless vandalism have resulted in police vehicles being removed from service, which could potentially be at a cost to innocent members…

The Environment Agency (EA) said the risk of flooding from the Rivers Clyst, Culm, Axe, Otter and Sid had reduced after water levels dropped below the level of concern. Water levels in the Lower Exe area remain high but have peaked and will continue to fall overnight, the EA said. And a flood alert for the River Exe, at Exeter Quay, has been removed. An EA alert for the Rivers Otter, Sid and the Exmouth area was downgraded after it…
'Heavy and intense' rainfall sparks flood alerts for parts of East Devon as rivers rise

Seaton Tramway level crossing work to shut A3052 at Colyford for nine days in January
By East Devon Reporter on 15th December 2020 East Devon, News, Seaton
'Essential' work to the Seaton Tramway level crossing at Colyford will see a stretch of A3052 road shut for nine days next month. Existing tracks will be removed and new rails and foundations put in place under and across the carriageway between January 4 and 12. All versions of a road closure have been explored but we want to ensure the works are done right and survive the next 40 plus years without further disrupting the A3052…The project and road closure have been given the go-ahead by Devon County Council (DCC). A Seaton Tramway spokesperson said: "We are pleased that…

Exmouth Tennis and Fitness Centre and Seaton Community Hospital are the first East Devon locations where the coronavirus vaccine will be given to local people. Doctors are beginning the roll-out in eight places around Devon – serving some 49 GP practices – from today (Tuesday, December 15). Nurses, paramedics, pharmacists and other NHS staff will be helping to vaccinate people aged over 80 and care home workers who have been identified as 'priority groups'. More centres will open in phases over coming weeks. The LED-run sports hub in Withycombe Village Road, Exmouth, will see patients from ten local practices vaccinated…
Coronavirus 'clusters' remain in 18 parts of East Devon – with 154 new cases confirmed across district in a week
By East Devon Reporter on 12th December 2020 Axminster, Beer, Branscombe, Budleigh Salterton, Covid-19, Cranbrook, East Devon, Exeter, Exmouth, Honiton, News, Newton Poppleford, Ottery St Mary, Seaton, Sidbury, Sidford, Sidmouth
A further 154 coronavirus cases have been confirmed across the East Devon in the last week – with another 111 in Exeter. And 'clusters' of the virus remain in all but two areas of the district and all but one of the wards in the city. The new cases recorded in East Devon represent an increase of five when compared to the previous seven days. Exeter's number is a decrease of 38. Eighteen wards in East Devon – spanning Exmouth, Honiton, Budleigh Salterton, Ottery St Mary, Seaton, and Cranbrook – currently have three or more coronavirus infections. Clyst, Exton and…

Hockey stick-wielding Seaton man killed seagull after mating birds kept him awake
By East Devon Reporter on 30th November 2020 East Devon, News, Seaton
A 56-year-old Seaton man armed himself with a hockey stick and killed a seagull after mating birds kept him awake, a court heard. Mark Tims, of Harepath Road, then put the herring gull in a bin liner and stood on it, magistrates were told. The water worker admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal and was handed an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for a year. Exeter Magistrates' Court chairman Simon Routh told Tims: "It was a very nasty attack. It was a deliberate attack. You used a hockey stick as a weapon." Michaela Rose, defending Tims, said: "Gulls are…

2018/06/09  0       1         1

but what I have is like this
Date       Jobtype Meal
2018/06/04 Fulltime 1
2018/06/05 Fulltime 1
2018/06/06 Casual   1

2018/06/08 Fulltime 1
2018/06/09 Casual   1
2018/06/09 Contract 1

What I have tried:
select Date, Jobtype,'Meal'=(COUNT(Date))
from CanLog
where WW BETWEEN '2018/06/06' and '2018/06/09'
group by Date, Jobtype
order by 1

A: Not sure where your WW column comes from. I assumed it's the date column. If it's not, please adjust.
You need to use UNPIVOT operator and discard records that equal to 0:
select u.date, u.jobtype, u.meal
from canlog
unpivot
(
  meal
  for jobtype in ( fulltime, contract, casual )
) u
where
  [Date] between '2018/06/06' and '2018/06/09'
  and meal <> 0;

See Live DEMO.
Result:
date        jobtype     meal
2018-06-04  Fulltime    1
2018-06-05  Fulltime    1
2018-06-06  Contract    1

2018-06-08  Casual      1
2018-06-09  Contract    1
2018-06-09  Casual      1

A: I think you can try this:
SELECT Date,
       (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CanLog as c WHERE c.WW = clog.WW AND jobtype = 'fulltime') AS Fulltime,
       (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CanLog as c WHERE c.WW = clog.WW AND jobtype = 'contract') AS Contract,
       (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM CanLog as c WHERE c.WW = clog.WW AND jobtype = 'casual') AS Casual
FROM CanLog AS clog
WHERE WW BETWEEN '2018/06/06' AND '2018/06/09'
GROUP BY Date, Jobtype
ORDER BY Date

Select in parenthesis count how much of given string is in the day.
And if you write from small all enlarged letters, it doesnt matter, sql is case insensitive

A: SELECT  distinct Date,
       (SELECT COUNT() FROM CanLog as c WHERE c.WW = clog.WW AND jobtype = 'fulltime') AS Fulltime,
       (SELECT COUNT() FROM CanLog as c WHERE c.WW = clog.WW AND jobtype = 'contract') AS Contract,

Now, details surrounding training, refeed and supplementation protocols.
Little to no more beans and vegan friendly milks.
An open message to the (many) fitness orthorexics – if you already are at a <9% body fat percentage claiming you never complain of hunger, or the thought of chicken breast, garlic powder and brocolli happily reside with you for life – then by all means close this browser window. You are reading someone else's in-depth account/s upon nutritional & life intervention/s spanning across ONE YEAR; covering everything from psychology, supplementation and fitness training. This is NOT a light reading. Don't like it? Then go somewhere else.
I have for a number of occasions attempted Dan Duchaine's / BODYOPUS original 2.5 day refeed protocols. Just without the crazy schedule of eating every one and half hour during sleeping window.
forgo the TKD component make all solid meals firstly from (9:30pm) as carbohydrate meals from there on.
Convincingly – lean muscle mass retained that much more easier. Sounds good right? Yes, and no. My state of readiness to eat on a surplus right away after training remains questionable. "Hunger" hormonal response amongst various training programs as per this study; shows great individual variability. I'd dare say that I am an outlier belonging to the not-so-hungry group after mere post workout 30g shake.
At the very least, I still remain adamant at sticking to my own mandatory 48 hours protocol from Saturday to end of Sunday.
This year puts my preferences of carbs towards simpler sources. The simpler, the more straightforward I feel in the gut. At least, I am not the only one in this boat. High fibre intake might not be the best idea. Long gone the days of my Kellogs' sultana bran – consuming these paved for the next day's regretful diarrhoea. Almost without fail.
Give me something logistically accessible. White lebanese breads (just don't buy from Woolies or Coles to save yourselves money), rice-based cereals, with whole milk, whey and pea protein concentrates, yoghurts, with honeys (in moderation). Syrups to taste (if I can afford like a king – pure maple syrups). Alongside with usual carb meals from oats (pre-soaked for at least 12 hours+ with boiling water, bit of apple cider vinegar and himalayan salt), pastas, potatoes and white rice.
Buckwheat / Brown Rice? Sadly, for reasons I'm yet to understand – they impose a somewhat "heavy" psychological numbness and sluggishness all throughout the day (and night). Suffice to say sadly they very rarely appear within cravings nor as physiological incentives.
Using simple sugars (yes, "sugars").
I have tried both (simple white sugars vs "raw" brown sugars) as supplementary carbohydrate and as actual sweeteners. Suffice to say it has been interesting. My prior source being cheap $4 per kilo Dextrose (Palatinose now unaffordable to me) seemed rather energetic in comparison. Raw sugar impose me that "warmth" feeling, both in the head and neck; which may or may not be related to an increase of thyroid activity.
Using normal "white" table sugar however did not turn out well. I felt uneasy inbetween meals as opposed to using raw brown sugar.
I assert that I am not a subscriber to Dr. Raymond Peat's protocols on very high sugars, orange juices, ice cream and low fat milk. I am yet to determine these as a viable hypercaloric, refeed protocol. Because the amount of fructose his protocol demands seems quite high; as per my prior experience could tell– excess intake made me sluggish akin to "hangover" alcohol symptom by Monday morning. Worse – It may even linger onwards for quite some time.
Low fat = underwhelming. No more beans. No vegan milks.
This is a not message you may confide the same dairy tolerance as I do.
The dogmatic law of reefeds heavily revolves around purely low-fat. I have tried acclimatising but continuously felt underwhelmed due to the missing nutrient profile/s, especially amongst dairy milks. The natural fats alone – not only increases their caloric value but also contributed to the full bodied taste, with few if anything is stripped away. I'd wager that for this reason, and speaking from personal experience of refeeds since 2016 – it is far more easier to gorge on low fat products, than their full fat variety to reach satiety.
I've disclosed before that carageenans found amongst Almond / "Vegan-friendly" milks – contributed to sluggish, and cumbersome overall state of being. Not just in the gut, but impacts more so – in my head. Likewise with beans – from kidneys / cannelinis etc- my humble and were once proud protein-replacement staple in my refeed meals – now bloats and brain "numbs" me similarly.
Eliminating one suspect after another, I am now more convinced than ever that at least – the puffiness or very noticeable bloatedness come Monday mornings and afternoon – seems lessened compared to all that of my previous experiences.
Training on Cyclical Keto + IF.
Monday (Chest & Tri's). Up to 300 reps depletion across up to ten (10) exercises up to or under 1 hour & 30 minutes.
Thursday (Shoulders / lats). Up to 300 reps depletion across up to ten (10) exercises up to or under 1 hour & 30 minutes.
Friday (Backs & Biceps). Up to 300 reps depletion across up to ten (10) exercises up to or under 1 hour & 30minutes.
My training session now stretches out bit longer than before because of the need to patiently foam roll before doing any major compound work.
Despite prevailing risks of Metabolic Damage; I am met throughout this year a weight set point ranging between (as low as) 63.9kg (at a muscle loss) to 68.5kg (post succesful refeed on Mondays). Note that these weigh-ins are done at around preexercise timing upon arrival at the gym at 6:15/30PM.
Post refeed weight come Mondays hovers between 67.5kg and 68.5kg. As you'd expect – the overall calories and length of refeeding determines the final weight. 2.5 Day refeed protocols would obviously conferred more gain.
Body Fat % via calipers Pollock method on three sites (pecs, halfway quad, and side of belly button) remained usually in a range between 11-13% amongst any given Keto/IF Days.
After 5 days of Keto/IF cycle and before the morning refeed meal – the lowest recorded was just shy under 10%. Of course, calipers are only "feel-good" underestimations. If scanned with a proper DEXA, I would (bravely, without shame) add anywhere between 0.5% to 0.75% on top of caliper measurements. That is if only $125 ever becomes an accessory privilege.
So how "hard" do I train? Just enough for me not able to talk. Just productively enough – no more than 15 – 30s seconds of rest inbetween sets of five or six. Just heavy enough – that I'm able at holding up two or even three seconds – of genuine eccentric negative tension holds in each rep, with as full range of motion as possible however as accordingly to my connective tissue resilience.
That's it. Multiply that by Ten and over the next one and half hour – then you've pretty much figured out my life routine.
I feel no need to envy someone else's prowess at lifting 250+ pounds worth of squats, benches or deadlifts. Be it a man or a woman. They remains as "them". "They" do not represent "my" existing injuries.
I have spent enough years in the gym to realise two types of people.
Ones who sternly gets in and out, hardly a chat inbetween. And the other? "hoofing" around impressing mates on 7-rep incline bell 25kg presses. Rested for ten-minutes chatting before doing volume "air" momentum reps on a curl machine.
The most number of exercises I have done were thirteen (13) exercises, across two hours. Nearing 300 reps all with eccentric tension holds at varying intensity based on however my own (subjective) connective tissue tolerances, all at anywhere between 60-70% 1RM each rep.
3/4 Sample training – Uppers.
Brisk walk 65 cals level 7 incline with 7.5 speed or Run + Brisk walk 75 cals under 5 mins.
6×5 Incline barbell benches 20kg (60kg total inc. bar), lowered if need be to 17.5kg Less than 30 seconds rest.
5×5 Close grip bar benches 15kg (50kg total inc. bar) Less than 30 seconds rest.
6×6 Cable crossovers 12.5kg. 15-20 seconds rest.
6×6 Double (each hand) dumbell tricep overhead 10kg. 15 seconds rest.
5×5 Standard benchpress bells 27.5kg or 25kg (each arm). 20-25 seconds rest.
6×5 Assisted machine tricep dips 25kg. up to 3 second negative tensions.15-20 seconds rest.
6×6 Finishing Accessory dumbbells hammers grip standing back laterals 10kg. 15 seconds rest.
4/4 Sample training – Lowers.
6×5 Leg presses 170-180kg (first 3 set) restretch briefly before moving up to 200kg. Less than 30 seconds rest inbetween.
7×6 Seated or standing calfs 45kg -55kg alternate if nerve pain is visible. 15-20 seconds rest.
5×4-5 Front ATG Squats (each side plate on a 20kg olympic stick) 15kg, 17.5kg, 20kg, another 20kg (if possible) then lastly on 17.5kg. 30 seconds rest inbetween.
6×5 Leg extensions 10kg. 15 seconds rest in between.
5×5 adductors or abductors 65kg-60kg alternating. 15 seconds rest inbetween.
4×8 Combined Finishing Accessory Exercise – 4 rep of pull ups, followed by 4 Otis Ups using 15kg plate as 1 set. 15 seconds rest inbetween.
BCAAS. I'd willingly change my stance from previous year – that now – I am calling BCAAs a deserved supplement to be deemed essential, but warrants careful periodisation. At any stage I feel somewhat dubious over finding any confidence improvements; I'd alternate its dosage. Or willingly take an on/off usage altogether from one training session or several at a time.
Preworkouts. Now a necessity more than ever; Almost (any) commercial preworkout supplementation works to capacity. Though I must admit that it has been YEARS since I've touched any commercial products but a 30 serve pre-mixed concoctions serves for up to a good TWO (2) months of use at half serving and with quarter serve of BCAAs.
I also likely add some of the left over black coffee + bits of ALCAR + Creatine and 100 to 150mg of cheap Aspirin (taken about 10 minutes before arrival to the gym). As well as up to TWO teaspoon/s worth of baking soda, if I have neither of those BCAAs or any existing preworkouts. Since I am still likely consuming this during my workout – hence I am titling this as the all-in-one drink solution as both preworkout AND intra workout. Which typically finishes at around halftime – of each and every training session.
The first meal, politically speaking for the day is not solid. But as post workout shake anywhere between 8:20PM to 8:45PM. Between 30 to 40g powder weight worth of unflav whey protein / pea proteins, sweetener to taste, bit of cinnamon powder and 130ML of full cream milk. If it gets so late (9PM) I would not even bother finishing the PWO shake. Save left over the for pre-bed sips.
Now, during weekdays from the criticals to the dubious.
Betaine HCL & Pepsin – DIY route.
From assisting mineral absorption to protein breakdown, I feel no need to repeat what I assert earlier in my 2017 write up of thoughts. It is also thankfully quite cost effective. My one, yes (1) year-ago purchased supply of 100g at $25 is due to soon for a replacement as I am writing this. Combined with separate 25g pepsin purchase – insures for a long enough supply of enzymatic support for an uncountable number of months.
People may ask how I've prepped all this myself. I am yet to try a DIY filling station, but take all this with a grain of salt that your needs and dosages may vary.
First things first – would require purchasing a precision micro scale; costed no more than $12.
Then, a 500 qty size "3" gelatin capsules at $17.
Starting with weighing: for a batch of 20 capsules, I measure two (2) grams of betaine HCL and 2 grams of pepsin in a clean tiny condiment bowl. Mix with the handily included scoop my 25g pepsin brand provided. Then the real labour comes in – individually unscrewing, manually filling in the powder one by one and securing it. Repeat the next capsule and the next. Obviously this is no lab quality. But accommodates humbly.
Each capsule thus measures between 150 to 200mg even mix combination of betaine HCL + pepsin. I take this anywhere between two to three times a day during meals.
Once again, it'd be redundant for me to repeat what I previously asserted. Magnesiums remain an inrefutable necessity. For years without end, I still cling to my morning ritual at applying my own DIY magnesium oil based on any Magnesium Chloride flakes I can afford; dissolved in hot but not boiling – distilled water.
The question that I am yet to find an answer for; is whether they disturb or augment the effects – of fasting windows. General guidelines amongst fasting community suggest none for short fasts. However, to this day I remain pragmatically leaning to safer side of the equation. Having previously speculated that during stressful periods that subject to mineral losses – be it through sweat / perspiration I'd certainly take at least a small bite of magnesium. Alongside with salted water to mitigate any worrying and signs of deficiencies. Ranging from fainting, palpitations, slow breathing, odd heart beats etc.
Zinc is what I'd consider a long lost forgotten mineral. I need not bother repeating their crucial importance covered in part 2 of this Annual Food For Thoughts.
Vitamin D & E, Milk Thistle, MSM, Baking Soda, COQ10 Aspirin.
I have begun supplementing liquid vitamin D form, derived from lanolin anywhere in the dosages of 4000 IU to self experimental 10,000 IU (ten-thousand) per day. I'd warn for the most serious Fast-ers out there however – that I do notice a glycogen uptake response upon mixing it with water first thing in the morning. Indicating that it MAY have a somewhat insulinogenic effect. To not spoil my fasting window therefore – I've decided to apply up to 7 drops topically – on necks, upper pecs, shoulders arms and backs. I put my faith, that utilisation this way is not compromised as from reading this study.
Liver health wise – Milk thistle and organic sulfur MSM. For joints, methylation support agent, an anti-inflammatory and a bone growth hormone potentiator – MSM is what I'd take first thing in morning for all my fasting window. I'm not entirely convinced over the fear-mongering of Milk Thistle's estrogenic potential, I'm still taking it regardless to help my liver handle all the incoming surplus of calories. Especially during refeeds.
As explained in Part 2 – Vitamin E also is another one I'd consider supplementing daily to prevent excess LDL oxidations. I'd imagine should anyone dare similarly attempting an Omega-6 PUFA Keto N=1 experiment – Vitamin E and any extra antioxidative support would be crucial.
If statins is the most prescribed drug for aging population – COQ10 is defenitely something I'd continue investing from both supplements + food form as I get older. In addition to of course – natural source from beef hearts & livers.Beyond an antioxidant for the heart but also for kidney health I'd continue taking them on up to 450mg per weekly dosages.
It's amazing how much Intermittent Fasting can blindingly saves you so many other minute things you previously thought of being crucially essential. Yet by the grace of passing time itself – eludes much of this fear altogether.
Shocking but true, that a significantly 3/4 part of this year – I've trialled my next austerity measure. By no longer buying a Multivitamin. My prior choice – the Natures Way multi-vitamin with Spirulina have saved me $15. But does it save me anywhere else? So far, I am surviving.
My reason for omitting them is beyond just saving money – but it is my own interest at truly concentrating on understanding and feeling the effects of isolated mineral intakes themselves. From Magnesiums, Zinc, Potassium, Coppers, to Chromium without added influence of "all-in-ones" blanketed solution.
I'd still classify them nonetheless as essential within my manuscript; fasting or non fasting. A context whereby I still mildly believe a multivitamin still holds in place – is when you are unexpectedly exposed to heavy and regular – stressful waves of change, particularly towards hotter seasons. Many of water soluble vitamins – are likely lost in the process anyway due to fasting or ketogenic's diuretic nature.
I suspect the need for multis also apply amongst those who travel a lot overseas. Even if you intend to cook your own meals, you will likely not going to look and feel an exact 1:1 replica of your former self. Especially from a change of your living environment.
2/4 Chromium Picollinate / Chromium GTF.
Throughout this year of fasting and feasting – I'd consider this nevertheless essential. But not as life-crucially essential as submitting to humongous 1000mcg+ per day. During 5 days of KETO+IF however – the usage and reliance on chromium is obviously MUCH LESS. I do not think lowering the glucose anymore than what is necessary seems that well justified.
However for carb refeed days or the few attempt/s of HC+IF weeks – very different story. Contrary to the advice of Lyle McDonald – I still believe any "insulin mimicker agents" to be a necessity to keep glucose control in a favourable range. This makes sense to me, pragmatically at least – since you must somehow metabolically prepare yourself to partition that much of caloric surplus of any given "refeed" day. For anyone to refute the need for these supporting agents – is beyond me.
3/4 No-Tropics = optional. ALCAR – still slightly important.
I am glad to say that my reliance on Notropics overall have lessened throughout this year. Simply a pinch of ALCAR into the cup of coffee alongside with baking soda. Or within my pre/intra workout solution as outlined above – ALCAR summed up as my cognitive insurance for getting through the day as emotionally collected, as possible. As I wrote previously, I do not mainly "worship" ALCAR as a weight loss simpleton icon. But also as a muscle protectant during stress during training.
Other NoTropics – including Gingko Biloba or the expensively straight 98% Mucuna concentrates – both remain to this day – an optional "novelty". I am glad that I have survived cognitively day in day out without such reliance as I was back in 2017. Such supply still remains usable, sitting more than one year old now as I'm typing this.
4/4 fish and krill oils supplementation = detrimental to my morning state of mood?
The most disappointing suspect of all supplementation/s this year, goes to Krill and Fish Oil's detriments on my psyche-well being. Anecdotal phenomenon suggests their oft-proclaimed anti-inflammatory effect do seemed plausible in the short term, yet strangely turns out worse when supplementing long term.
My on/off intakes have been quite similar in that I am finding Fish oil supplementation as simply just that – confusing and inconsistent.
At worst – ranging from very pronounced feeling of helplessness, followed by very "heavy" thoughts – both occuring first thing in the morning for at least few hours.
At best – I only noted for their relaxing effect particularly before bed. The above revelation however, is what kept me worried.
I'd still supplement but nonetheless keep a vigilant journalling and whenever needed be – periodize.
Meanwhile, wholefood sources I'd wager, cannot be ignored. There are other things besides Omega 3s and the complete proteins amongst sources such as sardines, mackerels and/or organ meats (particularly brains). Namely the much needed traces of selenium and copper. Hence, ignoring any Omega-3 intakes altogether in my opinion, isn't wise.
End part 3 of 4.
Now onto the last and final part – of me discussing surrounding aspects of budgeting and final thoughts on Fasting – my deep contemplations – of both its effects, impositions to the world around us.


As designers, our sole aim is to facilitate ease in communication for the viewer. Creating persuasive enquiry based approach to comprehend, sometimes a hidden visual order to lure the viewer or at times to guide him through a well-defined Visual Order.
The connect between design theory and application is difficult to grasp for a novice student of design, because the nature of design decisions are sometimes very subjective and contextual. Moreover, it becomes difficult, when the novice tries to seek rules or formulae to attempt solving of design problems. This does not necessarily mean that there are no rules in design. In fact, there are principles and concepts that need to be taught and internalized rather than rote learned. Design solutions are felt, experienced, compared and judged. They don't conclude as absolutes in themselves, because each time the context differs. The designer trains himself to respond to contexts, based on the knowledge acquired while learning principles of Visual Design.
Giving reason acts as a convenient approach, to teach a skill, explain knowledge or a concept. Rationality also gets well accepted and appreciated. To act without a reason, seems uncomfortable and paints a picture of being artistic, intuitive or subjective. Maybe that is why, quantitative results seem more pleasing compared to qualitative, since they are easily articulated by a rational mind.
Visual Order as a method will face arguments in its nature of explaining a concept through reference to analogies; but such is the case as most of these tasks (design problems) are related with concepts to be experienced; rather than being taught or told about. Most of these tasks are analogous; i.e., understood by doing, seeing and comparing and not based on results, translated numerically. Comparison provides insights, not results, as they are based on learning through perception. (Otl Aicher 1994).
Design assignments today, are currently under pressure to rationalize and at times, reason out acts as an incentive to make someone work towards a goal. It is difficult for sense of exploration to flourish within such environments, as exploration is based on a foundation of interests, rather than reasons. The method presented here attempts new approaches to strike a balance between both modes of thinking (vertical + lateral).
Considering the current context, where choice of font is available at a mouse click, the exercises in Visual order become extremely important as they act as rudimentary level courses in instilling the concept of Visual Order in the minds of novice designers, with the aim of making them familiar with the nature of design decisions. While encouraging students to have a sense of exploration towards tackling design problems, the instructors can also answer the rationale queries of students through the use of analogies. It is this marriage of exploration and rationale that Visual Order is trying to achieve.


In-ground spas built in conjunction with a swimming pool are beautiful. They share materials and aesthetics with the pool, and they can integrate with the rest of the environment. But there are downfalls: In-ground spas, with their typically straight walls and sometimes rough seating surfaces, may not be very comfortable, and the jets often provide less hydrotherapy than expected. For customers who want a consistent look across their pool and spa, builders can give them better comfort and hydrotherapy benefits without sacrificing aesthetics.
A lack of therapy benefits also creates issues. Customers want to replicate the setup of a portable spa, leading to requests for more jets than the equipment can handle. "You have to look at the hydraulics," warns Chris Harpham, manager at Sunbelt Hot Tubs in Houston, Texas. In addition to portable spas, Sunbelt manufactures acrylic shells designed to be installed in-ground. "Which pumps you're using? How far is the spa from the equipment? There are several factors that go into figuring out what it's going to take to get enough water to those jets." The problem is compounded when a customer has a pump they want to use but it isn't designed to support the high head pressure that's required. "It's just not going to work right unless you have the right pumps," Harpham explains.
To get around the challenges that come along with concrete in-ground spas, installers need to be ready to steer people towards the right equipment for the job. "You tell me which system you're using and I can look at their pump curves and tell you which pumps they make that are acceptable for what you're going to need," Harpham says. Gravity feed–style pumps, for example, typically don't work properly with an in-ground installation. "Use pumps that are designed to pull vertically," Harpham explains. This approach helps ensure customers get the best hydrotherapy benefits possible from their new in-ground spa.
The development of the Sedona in-ground acrylic spa started when Herman was living on a golf course and didn't like the idea of the eyesore a portable spa would create if he put one in his backyard. Looking back at his previous experience managing a custom deck company, he recalled that they used to sink the spas halfway into the decking and saw no reason why that couldn't be done in the ground, too. Herman immediately sought out a patent (U.S. Patent No. 6,381,768), anticipating that his idea would inspire copies.
Sedona builds the spas in Phoenix and then sells them to pool builders or directly to the homeowner, with specifications provided to the hired contractor for construction. While Sedona's market is primarily in Arizona, sales have occurred out of state on many occasions, including as far away as Maine. Because of its connection to local pool builders and contractors, Sedona has in-ground acrylic spa models in display homes and pool builder shows, in addition to the Sedona factory and showroom.

Last weekend was great The wedding was beautiful, the bride the decorations the everything. So happy for Lyndsey and Dustin. But I failed this weekend with the camera, so I have a quick shot of Lyndsey with Jacklyn and me instead.
Jacklyns guy Luke is so cute. He is such a little man, and SUCH a good baby going out and about with the girls all weekend. Look at him, he's got a 30 year old lawyer wardrobe I tell ya, and I love it! This outfit is just the tip of the iceberg with all the sweater vests etc.
think, kinda out of it.
Here's almost a good one of the both I guess. Alli wasn't really pulling out the smiles, more trying to run away in all the pictures.
I was sad I didn't get to see Whitney and Brittany's kids, but at least I did get to see them. I had so much fun hangin out with Jack, we spent lots of time together, just the 2 of us. I feel like its been forever since we had time like that. I guess that's what happens when she lives in Oregon and we only meet on busy occasions when we are in Raymond for something. We didn't do much, just same old chit chat for hours. But it was fun, like the old days. Me laughing at all Jacklyns jokes and her talking me into cutting and dyeing my hair, I love it.
Gotta go, but one more thing. Alli is walking. Well, if I stand her up and make her she can walk. But she never does on her own, she just sits down and cruises with the crawlers. Derek is really working on her. I know everyone says once she starts walking, you'll wish you never taught her, but frankly, she might as well walk. She crawls so fast and walks along anything she can hold onto, so I say why not. She is a year old and due for it.
Luke and Alli are good looking kids. It sure was fun to have you two around.
Brooke is bringing up Alli black pants you forgot.
I'm sad I missed Alli and didn't get to see you for longer. Busy weekend and too many weddings. We'll have to plan another get together at Christmas with all the girls and all the kids. And speaking of cute babies - have you seen pictures of Kim and Jesse Leishmans little girl? Sooo cute, such a little doll.
Cute pics of those 2 kids. Their outfits make them look like kids not babies...awwww your babies are growing up.
Sounds like you had a good time! Totally cute photos. No walking at all for Lucy yet.
oh my gosh! i haven't seen Lindsay Hill for years. she looks beautiful! it makes me miss Raymond when you girls all get together. :( i should be coming up soon though.
hey lins cute pics, i love when i make the blog...i'm not gonna lie it makes me feel special. i had tons of fun with you at home too, i miss doing nothing with you. i will be in ray-town for like a month at christmas so come down!!

CO2 Solutions unveils new carbon capture enzyme
28 November 2014 9 September 2021
CO2 Solutions develops a new high-performance carbonic anhydrase enzyme, named 1T1
Quebec City, November 19, 2014– CO2 Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: CST), the leader in the field of enzyme- enabled carbon capture technology, today announced the completion of the internal development of a new high-performance carbonic anhydrase enzyme.
In extensive bench testing, the new enzyme, named 1T1, has demonstrated longevity and catalytic performance significantly surpassing that of the best third-party enzymes used by CO2 Solutions to date. As such, 1T1 is expected to be the principal enzyme for the Corporation's carbon capture process going forward. Patent applications have been filed in relation to 1T1 and the use thereof.
"The development of 1T1 further improves the already compelling performance and cost advantages of our technology over other technologies available today," said Dr. Louis Fradette, Senior Vice-President, Process Engineering & Chief Technology Officer of CO2 Solutions. "To date, the large-scale adoption of CO2-driven enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been held back by the limited availability of large volumes of low cost CO2. We believe that the benefits generated by using 1T1 in our process address this issue and increase the potential for these types of applications to become reality. It is a credit to the skills and dedication of the CO2 Solutions' R&D team, who have done extraordinary work in bringing the initial concept to reality in an exceptionally short time frame."
Relative to its peers, 1T1 has a longer lifespan in the CO2 capture process, and delivers greater stability in meeting the required specifications for CO2 capture efficiency. At the same time, initial manufacturing results suggest that the production cost per unit weight of enzyme protein are likely to be substantially less than that for the third-party enzymes used to date. At the enzyme concentration levels required to deliver optimal carbon capture, CO2 Solutions believes this should lead to significantly lower enzyme- related costs, further reducing operating expenses of the capture process.
The Corporation has outsourced production of 1T1 to a third party, and industrial-scale batches of 1T1 have been manufactured. With 1T1, CO2 Solutions can produce the enzyme through a number of potential contract manufacturers, while controlling the associated intellectual property.
"De-risking all the elements of our carbon capture technology as we move closer to commercialization is a priority for the Corporation", stated Evan Price, CO2 Solutions' CEO. "With 1T1, we now have full ownership over what is arguably the most crucial element in our technology, thus securing the supply chain. Further down the line, ownership of the enzyme has the potential of creating additional revenue opportunities by CO2 Solutions becoming a supplier of 1T1 to externally operated carbon capture facilities."
The new enzyme will be used in the upcoming tests at the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC), scheduled for December.
1T1 was developed with the financial assistance of the Government of Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP). The Corporation acknowledges the important support of IRAP in the success of this project.
About CO2 Solutions Inc.
CO2 Solutions is an innovator in the field of enzyme-enabled carbon capture and has been actively working to develop and commercialize the technology for stationary sources of carbon pollution. CO2 Solutions' technology lowers the cost barrier to Carbon Capture, Sequestration and Utilization (CCSU), positioning it as a viable CO2 mitigation tool, as well as enabling industry to derive profitable new products from these emissions. CO2 Solutions has built an extensive patent portfolio covering the use of carbonic anhydrase, or analogues thereof, for the efficient post-combustion capture of carbon dioxide with low‐energy aqueous solvents.

President Barack Obama declared April 9 "National Equal Pay Day," – a date chosen to supposedly mark how long into the new year women have to work to match the male median wage of the previous year. Obama has repeatedly lamented that women earn "up to 23% less on average" than men do; it's a good talking point for a president who captured more than half of votes cast by women in 2012.

The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Том 11
Авторы: Edmund Burke
provided for preventing a mutual connexion by dependencies, agencies and employments, between the parties, who are to prosecute and to judge, and those, who are to be prosecuted and to be tried.
Your Committee, in a former Report, have stated the consequences, which they apprehended from the dependency of the Judges on the GovernourGeneral and Council of Bengal ; and the House has entered into their ideas upon this subject. Since that time it appears that Sir Elijah Impey has accepted of the guardianship of Mr. Barwell's children, and was the trustee for his affairs. There is no law to prevent this sort of connexion; and it is possible that it might not at all affect the mind of that Judge, or (upon his account) indirectly influence the conduct of his brethren; but it must forcibly affect the minds of those, who have matter of complaint against Government, and whose cause the Court of Directors appear to espouse, in a country where the authority of the Court of Directors has seldom been exerted but to be despised; .. where the operation of laws is but very imperfectly
understood ; but where men are acute, sagacious, and even suspicious of the effect of all personal connexions. Their suspicions, though perhaps not rightly applied to every individual, will induce them to take indications from the situations and connexions of the prosecuting parties, as well as of the Judges. It cannot fail to be observed, that
Mr. Naylor, the Company's Attorney, lived in Mr. Barwell's house; the late Mr. Bogle, the Company's Commissioner of law suits, owed his place to the patronage of Mr. Hastings and Mr. Barwell, by whom the office was created for him; and Sir John Day, the Company's Advocate, whọ arrived in Bengal in February 1779, had not been four months in Calcutta, when Mr. Hastings, Mr. Barwell, and Sir Eyre Coote, doubled his salary, contrary to the opinion of Mr. Francis and Mr. Wheler.
If the Directors are known to devolve the whole cognizance of the offences charged on their servants, so highly situated, upon the Supreme Court, an excuse will be furnished, if already it has not been furnished, to the Directors for declining the use of their own proper political power and authority in examining into and animadverting on the conduct of their servants. Their true character, as strict masters and vigilant governours, will merge in that of prosecutors. Their force and energy will evaporate in tedious and intricate processes ;* in law suits, which can never end, and which are to be carried on by the very dependants of those, who are under prosecution. On their part, these servants will decline giving satisfaction to their masters, because they are already before another tribunal; and thus, by shifting responsibility from hand to hand, a confederacy to defeat the whole spirit of the law,
Of this great
upon it.
and to remove all real restraints on their actionis, may be in time formed between the Servants, Directors, Prosecutors, and Court. danger Your Committee will take further notice in another place.
No notice whatever appears to have been taken of the Company's orders in Bengal till the 11th of January 1779, when Mr. Barwell moved, that the claim mnade upon him by the Court of Directors should be submitted to the Company's lawyers, and that they should be perfectly instructed to prosecute
In his Minute of that date, he says, " that the state of his health had long since rendered * it'necessary for him to return to Europe."
Your Committee observe, that he continued in Bengal another year. He says,
" that he had " hitherto waited for the arrival of Sir John Day, " the Company's Advocate; but as the season was " now far advanced, he wished to bring the trial " speedily to issue."
In this. Minute he retracts his original engagement to submit himself to the judgment of the Court of Directors and to account to them for " the last shilling he had received." He says, as that no merit had been given him for the offer; " that a most unjustifiable advantage had been at
tempted to be made of it, by first declining it, " and descending to abuse, and then giving orders " upon it as if it had been rejected, when called
upon by him in the person of his agent to bring * home the charge of delinquency." p. Mr. Barwell's reflections on the proceedings of the Court of Directors are not altogether clearly expressed; nor does it appear distinctly to what facts he alludes. He asserts, that a most unjustifiable advantage had been attempted to be made of his offer. The fact is, the Court of Directors have no where declined accepting it; on the contrary, they caution the Governour-General and Council about the manner of receiving the tender of the money, which they expect him to make. They say nothing of
any call made on them by Mr. Barwell's agent in England; nor does it appear to Your Committee that they have descended to abuse." They have a right, and it is their duty, to express, in distinct and appropriate terms, their sense of all blamable conduct in their servants.
So far as may be collected from the evidence of the Company's records, Mr. Barwell's assertions do not appear well supported; but even if they were more plausible, Your Committee apprehend, that he could not be discharged from his solemn recorded promise to abide by the judgment of the Court of Directors. Their judgment was declared by their resolution to prosecute, which it depended upon himself to satisfy by making good his engagement: To excuse bis not complying with the Company's claims, he says, " that his compliance would be urged
as a confession of delinquency, and to proceed from " conviction of his having usurped on the rights of " the Company." Considerations of this nature might properly have induced Mr. Barwell to stand upon his right in the first instance," and to appeal
(to use his own words) to the laws of his country, " in order to vindicate his fame." But his performance could not have more weight to infer delinquency, than his promise. Your Committee think his observation comes too late.
If he had stood a trial when he first acknowledged the facts, and submitted himself to the judgment of the Court of Directors, the suit would have been carried on under the direction of General Clavering, Colonel Monson, and Mr. Francis; whereas in the year 1779 his influence at the Board gave him the conduct of it himself. In an interval of
may be presumed that great alterations might have happened in the state of the evi-, dence against him.
In the subsequent proceedings of the Governour-General and Council the House will find, that Mr. Barwell complained that his instances for carrying on the prosecution were ineffectual, owing to the legal difficulties and delays urged by the Company's lazo officers, which Your Committee do not find have yet been removed. As far as the latest advices reach, no progress appears to have been made in the business. In July 1782, the Court of


In Armenian, Number is a feature of nouns and other parts of speech that mark agreement with nouns, i.e. personal pronouns, and verbs.
Some geographical names appear only in the plural form (e.g. Ալպեր "The Alps", Ապալաչներ "Appalachian Mountains") even though they denote one thing (semantic singular). We don't mark these proper nouns as Ptan (plurale tantum). Grammatically they behave like plurals, so Plur is obviously the back-off value here.
A singular noun denotes one person, animal or thing.
Pronouns that refer to a single person, an animal or a thing are also marked with this feature.
Demonstrative pronouns that refer to singular nouns, but not demonstrative determiners of singular or plural nouns (e.g. այս գիրքը/գրքերը "this/these book/books"; այդ գիրքը/գրքերը "that/those book/books (medial)", այն գիրքը/գրքերը "that/those book/books"), are also marked with this feature.
A plural noun denotes several persons, animals or things.
Pronouns that refer to several persons, animals or things are also marked with this feature.
Demonstrative pronouns that refer to plural nouns, but not demonstrative determiners of singular or plural nouns (e.g. այս գիրքը/գրքերը "this/these book/books"; այդ գիրքը/գրքերը "that/those book/books (medial)", այն գիրքը/գրքերը "that/those book/books"), are also marked with this feature.
In Armenian some nouns, proper nouns and pronouns appear in the plural form, which denotes constructions like 'X and other people associated with X'. These plural forms consist of a noun X (typically of human reference, usually a person's name or a kin term) and one of the suffixes -ենք, -անք, -ոնք, -ունք.
As nominal syntactic subjects, associative plural forms are grammaticalty indefinte (even though they are known and concrete).
Collective or mass or singulare tantum is a special case of singular. It applies to words that use grammatical singular to describe sets of objects, i.e. semantic plural. Although in theory they might be able to form plural, in practice it would be rarely semantically plausible. Sometimes, the plural form exists and means "several sorts of" or "several packages of".


Waiting for bus or trouble?
Tvm: A lady IT professional working in Technopark, Trivandrum was molested at the bus stop today morning where she was waiting to catch her bus to Technopark.
This incident happened at the Medical College bus stop in Trivandrum when this techie was waiting for the Volvo bus which goes to Technopark. The fact that this happened in broad daylight, at 9 in the morning and at a place hardly 100 meters away from the Medical College Police Station, speaks volumes about the safety of our women on the roads. That this happened on the International Women's Day when the Women's Reservation Bill is set to be introduced in the Parliament shows the reality and the hardship, women face everyday.
According to the techie, who does not want to be identified for obvious reasons, a middle aged man who got down from a bus started making comments. Initially she ignored him thinking he was drunk. But when he came towards her and tried to push her, she fought back giving him a good push and he fell down. Her specs broke in the scuffle. She then called 100 and they put her on hold for a good time before she could report the incident. After this she went to the Police Station which was just two or three buildings away.
Meanwhile, this guy coolly took another bus and went off by the time the Police call party rushed to the spot after being informed by the control room.
Though shaken and petrified by the incident, this lady dressed in a stiff cotton saree, went to her office by the next Volvo bus and today evening she will be participating in a quiz being organised by the 'Network of Women' in her office as part of the International Women's Day celebrations!
