We prove that if $M$ is a $\text{JBW}^{\ast }$ -triple and not a Cartan factor of rank two, then $M$ satisfies the Mazur–Ulam property, that is, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of $M$ onto the unit sphere of another real Banach space $Y$ extends to a surjective real linear isometry from $M$ onto $Y$ .
The effectiveness of vaccination to prevent the papillomavirus infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Herney Andrés García-Perdomo, Julio Cesar Osorio, Adrian Fernandez, James Alejandro Zapata-Copete, Andrés Castillo
Our purpose was to determine the effectiveness and harms of vaccination in patients with any sexual history to prevent the prevalence of papillomavirus infection. A search strategy was conducted in the MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE and LILACS databases. Searches were also conducted in other databases and unpublished literature. The risk of bias was evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Analysis of fixed effects was conducted. The primary outcome was the infection by any and each human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype, serious adverse effects and short-term adverse effects. The measure of the effect was the risk difference (RD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). The planned interventions were bivalent vaccine/tetravalent/nonavalent vs. placebo/no intervention/other vaccines. We included 29 studies described in 35 publications. Bivalent HPV vaccine offers protection against HPV16 (RD −0.05, 95% CI −0.098 to −0.0032), HPV18 (RD −0.03, 95% CI −0.062 to −0.0004) and HPV16/18 genotypes (RD of −0.1, 95% CI −0.16 to −0.04). On the other side, tetravalent HPV vaccine offered protection against HPV6 (RD of −0.0500, 95% CI −0.0963 to −0.0230), HPV11 (RD −0.0198, 95% CI −0.0310 to −0.0085). Also, against HPV16 (RD of −0.0608, 95% CI −0.1126 to −0.0091) and HPV18 (RD of −0.0200, 95% CI −0.0408 to −0.0123). There was a reduction in the prevalence of HPV16, 18 and 16/18 genotypes when applying the bivalent vaccine, with no increase in adverse effects. Regarding the tetravalent vaccine, we found a reduction in the prevalence of HPV6, 11, 16 and 18 genotypes, with no increase in adverse effects.
First Case of Multiple Resistance to Glyphosate and PPO-inhibiting Herbicides in Rigid Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) in Spain
Pablo Tomas Fernandez-Moreno, Antonia Maria Rojano-Delgado, Julio Menendez, Rafael De Prado
Journal: Weed Science / Volume 65 / Issue 6 / November 2017
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 August 2017, pp. 690-698
Five rigid ryegrass populations suspected of being resistant to both glyphosate and oxyfluorfen were collected in southern Spain and tested under laboratory-controlled conditions. Four populations (Depuradora, Condado, AlamoRasilla, and Portichuelo) were treated with glyphosate for at least 15 consecutive years, and treatments during the last 5 yr were mixed with oxyfluorfen. The fifth population (4alamos) followed the same glyphosate treatment, although oxyfluorfen was never used to control it. Dose–response assays confirmed glyphosate resistance in all populations, with resistance indexes ranging from 11.7 to 37.5 (GR90). Shikimate accumulation assays consistently supported these data, as the most glyphosate-resistant populations (Depuradora and Condado) displayed the lowest shikimate levels. Surprisingly, four populations (Depuradora, Condado, AlamoRasilla, and Portichuelo) displayed 7.93- to 70.18-fold more resistance (GR90) to oxyfluorfen, despite limited selection pressure, showing a similar resistance pattern as that for glyphosate. The 4alamos population displayed oxyfluorfen GR90 values that were similar to those observed in susceptible plants; however, this population was significantly more resistant in terms of plant survival (LD90). Protoporphyrin IX accumulation assays supported the results of dose–response assays, in that the most oxyfluorfen-resistant populations accumulated less protoporphyrin IX. Although more studies are needed, it seems that these five glyphosate-resistant weed populations display a natural tendency to easily develop resistance to oxyfluorfen, with the populations that have higher resistance to glyphosate also having higher resistance to oxyfluorfen.
Comet Showers
Julio A. Fernández
Variations in the influx rate of incoming Oort cloud comets, leading to the occurrence of comet showers, are reviewed with special emphasis on the dynamical processes that produce them. It is found that comet showers as intense as 10-100 times the background comet flux may occur at average intervals of several 107 years, being very close stellar passages at distances ≈ 104 AU and, perhaps, penetrating encounters with intermediate-size molecular clouds the trigger mechanisms. Penetrating encounters with giant molecular clouds and stellar passages at distances of a few 103 AU may trigger comet showers about 102 − 103 times more intense than the background comet flux at average intervals of a few 108 years. The impact cratering record on the Earth does not show any clear evidence of past comet showers. Some orbital properties of new and dynamically young comets suggest that the influx rate of Oort cloud comets is currently near its background level.
Dynamics of Comets: Recent Developments and New Challenges
There is a broad consensus that long-period comets come from a huge reservoir surrounding the solar system, as proposed originally by Oort. Yet, the classical picture of the Oort cloud has substantially changed during the last decade. In addition to passing stars, the tidal force of the galactic disk and giant molecular clouds have also been identified as major perturbers of the Oort cloud. In particular, the latter may be responsible for limiting the size of the stable Oort cloud to no more than ≈ 104 AU, i.e. about one tenth of the classical Oort's radius.
Most comets are injected into the planetary region by the quasi-steady action of the tidal force of the galactic disk. The concentration of aphelion points of dynamically young comets toward mid-galactic latitudes is a consequence of its dominant influence. The frequency of comet passages into the inner planetary region could experience significant fluctuations with time as the Oort cloud meets random strong perturbers. The observed ordered pattern of most comet aphelia, associated with the galactic structure, argues against a recent strong perturbation of the Oort cloud.
The origin of the Jupiter family has become another point of intense debate. Jupiter family comets may come from a transneptunian comet belt -the Kuiper belt- from where they can reach the planetary region through chaotic motion. The Kuiper belt has become accessible to large telescopes, as shown by the recent discoveries of 1992QB1 and 1993FW, possibly belt members. The major challenge will be to explore the region usually inaccessible to external perturbers that goes from ~30 AU to a few thousand AU. A significant mass may have been locked there from the beginnings of the solar system, giving rise to an inner core that feeds the outer or classical Oort cloud. Our aim will be to briefly discuss some of the topics summarized here.

Journal: Cardiology in the Young / Volume 27 / Issue 2 / March 2017
In 2007, a partnership was initiated between a small-volume paediatric cardiac surgery unit located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, and a large-volume cardiac surgery unit located in Milan, Italy. The main goal of this partnership was to provide surgical treatment to children with CHD in the Canary Islands.
An operative algorithm for performing surgery in elective, urgent, and emergency cases was adopted by the this joint programme. Demographic and in-hospital variables were collected from the medical records of all the patients who had undergone surgical intervention for CHD from January, 2009 to March, 2013. Data were introduced into the congenital database of the European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association Congenital Database and the database was interrogated.
In total, 65 surgical mission trips were performed during the period of this study. The European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association Congenital Database documented 214 total patients with a mean age at operation of 36.45 months, 316 procedures in total with 198 cardiopulmonary bypass cases, 46 non-cardiopulmonary bypass cases, 26 cardiovascular cases without cardiopulmonary bypass, 22 miscellaneous other types of cases, 16 interventional cardiology cases, six thoracic cases, one non-cardiac, non-thoracic procedure on a cardiac patient with cardiac anaesthesia, and one extracorporeal membrane oxygenation case. The 30-day mortality was 6.07% (13 patients).
A joint programme between a small-volume centre and a large-volume centre may represent a valid and reproducible model for safe paediatric cardiac surgery in the context of a peripheral region.
The formation and dynamical survival of the comet cloud
Journal: International Astronomical Union Colloquium / Volume 83 / 1985
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016, pp. 45-70
The theory of a huge reservoir of comets (the "comet cloud") extending to almost interstellar distances is analyzed, paying special attention to its dynamical stability, formation process and orbital properties of the incoming cloud comets. The perturbing influence of passing stars and giant molecular clouds is considered. Giant molecular clouds may be an important perturbing element of the comet cloud, although they do not seem to change drastically former studies including only stellar perturbations. The more tightly bound inner portions of the comet cloud, say within 104 AU, would have withstood the disrupting forces over the age of the solar system. The theory of a primordial comet origin in the outer planetary region close to Neptune's orbit is specially analyzed. A primordial comet origin is consistent with the cosmogonic view that a large amount of residual material was ejected during the last stage in the formation of the Jovian planets. The smooth diffusion in the energy space of bodies scattered by Neptune guarantees that most of them will fall in the narrow range of energies close to zero (near-parabolic orbits) where passing stars and GMCs can act effectively on them. The long time scales of ~109 yr required for bodies scattered by Neptune to reach near-parabolic orbits would indicate that the buildup of the comet cloud was an event that took place long after the planets formed. Depending on the field of perturbing galactic objects, it is possible to conceive that most scattered comets were stored in rather tightly bound orbits (a ~l04 AU), favoring the concept of their dynamical survival over several billion yr. Alternative theories of comet cloud formation, e.g. in-situ origin or interstellar capture, are also discussed. The main difficulty of the in-situ theory is to explain how comets could accumulate at large heliocentric distances where the density of the nebular material was presumably very low. The interstellar capture theory also meets severe dynamical objections as, for instance, the lack of observed comets with original strongly hyperbolic orbits and the extremely low probability of capture under most plausible conditions. Since our knowledge of the structure of giant molecular clouds and their frequency of encounters with the solar system is still very uncertain, the concept of capture of transient comet clouds during such encounters can be advanced very little beyond the speculative stage. Some other dynamical properties of relevance to theories of origin and structure of the comet cloud are also reviewed. We mention, for instance, the distribution of perihelion points on the celestial sphere. There seems to be here a well established deviation from randomness, although the debate on whether or not there is a preference of the perihelion clustering for the vicinity of the apex of the solar motion is still unsettled. The alleged correlation with the solar apex may be biased by the preference of comet discoveries in the northern hemisphere. Deviations from randomness might be caused by very close stellar passages in the recent past. The excess of retrograde orbits among the observed "new" and young comets - mainly those with q ≳ 2 AU - is another well known dynamical feature. Such an excess may probably be accounted for by the combined action of planetary and stellar perturbations. Because of the decreasing action of planetary perturbations with increasing heliocentric distances, a significant increase in the rate of passages of long-period comets is predicted for the outer planetary region.
Active bodies in the near-Earth region: The tenuous boundary between comets and asteroids
Julio A. Fernández, Andrea Sosa
We analyze the dynamics and activity observed in bodies approaching the Earth (perihelion distances q < 1.3 au) in short-period orbits (P < 20 yr), which essentially are near-Earth Jupiter Family Comets (NEJFCs) and near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). In the general definition, comets are "active", i.e. they show some coma, while asteroids are "inactive", i.e. they only show a bare nucleus. Besides their activity, NEJFCs are distinguished from NEAs by their dynamical evolution: NEJFCs move on unstable orbits subject to frequent close encounters with Jupiter, whereas NEA orbits are much more stable and tend to avoid close encounters with Jupiter. However, some JFCs are found to move on stable, asteroidal-type orbits, so the question arises if these objects are asteroids that have become active, perhaps upon approach to the Sun. In this sense they may be regarded as the counterparts of the main-belt comets (Hsieh & Jewitt 2006). On the other hand, some seemingly inert NEAs move on unstable, comet-type orbits, so the question about what is a comet and what is an asteroid has become increasingly complex.
Experimental ruminant models for bovine neosporosis: what is known and what is needed

At present, bovine neosporosis is an important worldwide concern because of its wide geographic distribution and economic impact. Abortion is the main clinical sign of bovine neosporosis in both dairy and beef cattle. Ruminant challenge models are critical to evaluate potential vaccine candidates to help tackle bovine neosporosis and to study pathogenesis and host responses to infection. Several research groups have developed ruminant models of Neospora caninum infection independently of others, resulting in a high degree of variability due to the use of different species of animals, breeds, strains/isolates of N. caninum, doses, routes and times of inoculation. Standardization is greatly needed to advance research in a more collaborative, timely and efficient manner. In the absence of widely accepted international guidelines, this manuscript serves to summarize and discuss the different models and parameters currently in use. Parameters essential for the development of non-pregnant and pregnant ruminant models are outlined and the main knowledge gaps are identified. This information could act as the basis to develop a consensus for international standard guidelines for ruminant models of neosporosis that would be helpful for researchers in this field worldwide.
Assessment of a Self-regulated Learning Intervention

Following a pretest-posttest design with no control group, this paper evaluates the efficacy of an intervention program. Consisting of twelve sessions, the program endeavored to increase knowledge and use of self-regulated learning strategies, as well as study time, in 277 first-year students in the Spanish secondary education system. The intervention's efficacy was assessed in terms of three variables: knowledge of self-regulated learning strategies, use of self-regulated learning strategies, and study time. The results of post-intervention data analysis indicate that statistically significant changes occurred in students' knowledge of self-regulated learning strategies and weekly study time, but not in their use of self-regulated learning strategies. When the sample was stratified into three groups (high, moderate, and low) according to baseline scores on the dependent variables, our findings show that students in the lower group profited most from the intervention on all three variables. This suggests that participation in the program is especially useful for at-risk students (i.e. those with little knowledge and use of effective learning strategies).

The influx rate of long-period comets in the Earth's neighborhood and their debris contribution to the interplanetary medium
Julio Angel Fernández
We analyze the flux of new and evolved long-period comets (LPCs) reaching the Earth's neighborhood (perihelion distances q < 1.3 AU), their physical lifetimes, and their implications as regards to the amount of meteoritic matter that is being deposited in the near-Earth region. The flux of LPCs with q < 1.3 au is found to be of about 340 ± 40, brighter than absolute total magnitude 8.6 (radius R ~ 0.6 km) (Fernández and Sosa 2012). Bearing in mind that most of these comets disintegrate into meteoritic matter, this represents a large contribution to the interplanetary dust complex which requires an amount of matter of about 10 tons s−1 to keep it in steady state. These aspects, as well as the impact rate with Earth of meteoroids of LPC origin, will be discussed in this presentation.

Division III, with 1126 members, is the third largest of the 12 IAU Divisions, focusing on subject matter related to the physical study of interplanetary dust, comets, minor planets, satellites, planets, planetary systems and astrobiology. Within the Division are very active working groups that are responsible for planetary system and small body nomenclature, as well as a newly created working group on Near Earth Objects which was established order to investigate the requirements for international ground-and/or space-based NEO surveys to characterize 90% of all NEOs with diameters >40m in order to establish a permanent international NEO Early Warning System.
A (Relatively) Simple Method to Visualize Single Molecules

Fluorescence microscopy can be used to study certain single molecules in solution or attached to a surface. Two conflicting challenges to overcome are: (1) to image freely moving molecules for long times and (2) to image immobilized single molecules when there is a highly fluorescent background. The fact that these two goals are inversely related is illustrated by epifluorescence, which is good for observing freely diffusing molecules but poor for detecting single molecules, whereas the reverse is true for zero-mode waveguides. Plus, these and other techniques require elaborate (read: expensive) equipment with computerized controls. Sabrina Leslie, Alexander Fields, and Adam Cohen have developed an ingenious (relatively) simple technique that can image freely moving single molecules.

THE BEST SOBOLEV TRACE CONSTANT IN PERIODIC MEDIA FOR CRITICAL AND SUBCRITICAL EXPONENTS
JULIÁN FERNÁNDEZ BONDER, RAFAEL ORIVE, JULIO D. ROSSI
Journal: Glasgow Mathematical Journal / Volume 51 / Issue 3 / September 2009
In this paper we study homogenisation problems for Sobolev trace embedding H1(Ω) ↪ Lq(∂Ω) in a bounded smooth domain. When q = 2 this leads to a Steklov-like eigenvalue problem. We deal with the best constant of the Sobolev trace embedding in rapidly oscillating periodic media, and we consider H1 and Lq spaces with weights that are periodic in space. We find that extremals for these embeddings converge to a solution of a homogenised limit problem, and the best trace constant converges to a homogenised best trace constant. Our results are in fact more general; we can also consider general operators of the form aɛ(x, ∇u) with non-linear Neumann boundary conditions. In particular, we can deal with the embedding W1,p(Ω) ↪ Lq(∂Ω).
Numerical simulations of Jupiter Family Comets; physical and dynamical effects
Romina P. Di Sisto, Julio A. Fernández, Adrián Brunini
We present results from numerical simulations of a Jupiter family comet (JFC) population (orbital periods P < 20 yr and Tisserand parameters in the range 2 < T < 3.1) originated in the Scattered Disk and transferred to the Jupiter's zone through gravitational interactions with the Jovian planets. We shall call 'non-JFCs' those comets coming from the same source, but that do not fulfill the previous criteria (mainly because they have periods P > 20 yr). We have carried out series of numerical simulations of fictitious comets with a purely dynamical model and also with a more complete dynamical - physical model that includes besides nongravitational forces, sublimation and splitting mechanisms. We obtained better fits with models including physical effects, and in particular our best fits are for four splitting models with a relative weak dependence on q, and a mass loss in every splitting event that is smaller/greater for higher/lower frequencies respectively. The mean lifetime of JFCs with radii R > 1 km and q < 1.5 AU is found to be of about 150-200 revolutions (~103 yr). We find a total population of JFCs with radii R > 1 km within Jupiter's zone of 450 ± 50 and a mean lifetime of about 150-200 revolutions (~103 yr) for those getting q < 1.5 AU. The population of JFCs + non-JFCs with radii R > 1 km in Jupiter-crossing orbits may be about ~2,250 ± 250. Most of non-JFCs have perihelia close to Jupiter's orbit.
We also present maps of the densest zones of JFCs in the orbital element space.

UNCSA costume design program is one of nation's best, says Hollywood Reporter
The costume design program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts is among the best in the country, according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), a leading publication of the entertainment industry. In its Feb. 14 print edition, released online Monday, THR included the UNCSA School of Design and Production's program in its unranked list of Top 10 costume design schools.
It was Design and Production's second national ranking this year by a leading trade publication. In September, OnStage ranked the school second in the country for undergraduate theater design and tech programs.
"I'm thrilled and honored for our faculty and students to be recognized for their extraordinary dedication to craft, mastery of design, and exquisite technical skills," said Chancellor Lindsay Bierman. "And I'm extremely proud to see the work of our alumni on the world's greatest stages and screens. A huge congratulations to the School of Design and Production."
I'm thrilled and honored for our faculty and students to be recognized for their extraordinary dedication to craft, mastery of design, and exquisite technical skills."
Chancellor Lindsay Bierman
The article noted, "More than knowing how to thread a needle, costume design involves historical research, collaboration with actors and directors, keen attention to detail, the art of narrative storytelling through clothes … and that's just the beginning. A bachelor's (B.A.) or master's in fine arts (MFA) can give a leg up."
Design and Production (D&P) Dean Michael J. Kelley said UNCSA offers an undergraduate degree in costume design and technology (combined) and graduate degrees that specialize in either costume design or costume technology. "They are all pipelines directly to the industry, whether it's film or television, Broadway productions or regional theater," Kelley said. "Local audiences are lucky to see the work created by our students, and audiences the world over enjoy the work of our alumni. We're thankful The Hollywood Reporter is helping to tell our story."
To create its list of graduate and undergraduate programs, THR consulted with costume designers and academics, including Bill Brewer, co-director of UNCSA's Costume Design and Technology program. The article quoted Brewer and alumnus Paul Tazewell, winner of a Tony Award for "Hamilton" and an Emmy Award for NBC's "The Wiz: Live!"
Alumnus Paul Tazewell, shown during a visit to campus in 2013, has won an Emmy Award and a Tony Award for his costume designs.
Tazewell noted the advice of a guest artist at UNCSA during his undergraduate studies. "Ann Roth gave a master class and told me that I'd better study urban clothes because street stories would be the next paradigm shift," he said. "Ms. Roth was right. Because I was, and still am, one of the few African-American costume designers, I was bombarded with work."
Roth won an Academy Award for costume design for "The English Patient." She was nominated for three additional Oscars, for "The Hours," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and "Places in the Heart."
In the article, Brewer, who directs the program along with Pam Knourek, noted 95 percent of D&P students have a job before they graduate.
Additional alumni working in Hollywood include Keith Lewis ("Cider House Rules"), Margaret Robbs (assistant costume designer, "Blade Runner 2049"), and Stef Maus (assistant designer, "Orange Is the New Black").
D&P currently enrolls 229 students in 10 undergraduate programs (Costume Design, Costume Technology, Lighting, Scene Design, Scene Painting, Scene Technology, Sound Design, Stage Management, Stage Properties, and Wig and Makeup Design); 49 students in 10 graduate programs (Costume Design, Costume Technology, Production and Project Management, Scenic Art, Scene Design, Sound Design, Stage Automation, Stage Properties, Technical Direction, and Wig and Makeup Design); and 38 students in its high school Visual Arts Program.

Charles Edward Broadhurst (1826 – 26 April 1905) was a pioneer pastoralist and pearler in colonial Western Australia.  He was a member of the Western Australian Legislative Council in 1874 and 1875. In 2009, he was recognised as one of Western Australia's 100 most influential citizens.

Early life in Britain and Victoria

Born in Manchester, England in 1826, Broadhurst was born into the Tootal, Broadhurst and Lee textile empire, but in being a younger son, emigrated to Victoria in 1843 where he joined his elder brother Robert Henson Broadhurst on his sheep station. Until 1860, he was a pastoralist at Swinton in partnership with his brother. On 22 June 1860, Broadhurst married Eliza Howes, a talented teacher, singer and musician with whom he would have seven children. He then commenced operating on his own at Wallan exporting horses to India.

Denison Plains Company

In 1864, Broadhurst became involved in the Denison Plains Company's plans to transport and establish Victorian settlers to the fabled  Denison Plains, near present-day Halls Creek via the new settlement at Camden Harbour, Western Australia.  Appointed manager, he sailed with settlers and stock on the Warrior in May 1865.  On hearing in Fremantle of the failure at Camden Harbour, they decided to sail for the settlement at Roebuck Bay instead, but after failing to enter the bay due to adverse winds, the settlers were disembarked at Tien Tsin, later to be called Cossack the chief port and landing at Nickol Bay. The company suffered heavy financial losses when news of the difficulties being experienced in the north-west eventually filtered back to Melbourne and was eventually bankrupted.  The settlers who had landed with him  blamed Broadhurst for the failure, and criticised him for refusing to share out the stock until the company's affairs were settled. This was to be the first of many controversies that dogged his life and career from that time on.

His role in the development of Roebourne

In June 1866, Broadhurst was a member of an exploring party under Trevarton Sholl, son of the Government Resident Robert Sholl, which searched for good pasture and a good harbour in Exmouth Gulf.  The expedition was absent for 49 days, and covered 1,000 miles of terrain, but found nothing of value. Partly as a result it was decided to establish a townsite at Roebourne and make this the administrative base for what was then called the 'North District'. This occurred in August 1866. Later Broadhurst was Acting Government Resident when Sholl took leave of absence.

Eliza Broadhurst

Eliza Broadhurst and the children, (the two boys Charles Jr., Florance and a newly-born  daughter Sarah)  left the north soon after the disappearance of the schooner Emma, a  tragedy which claimed the lives of  Trevarton Sholl, W.F. Tays, the then leading pearler in the district and a third of the entire European population of the North District in 1867. In her husband's absence, she established a day and boarding school in Perth and taught English, maths, music and languages in order to make ends meet. Her home also became a focal point for  young society women, though she was never able to take her rightful place in society due to the scandals surrounding her husband.

Career and roles
Charles  Broadhurst remained in the north west of Western Australia for many years  maintaining pastoral runs on what was to become the Karratha Station  on the Maitland River on the Ashburton River. From 1866, he was also involved in the pearling industry at Nickol Bay where 'naked diving' (that is, without any aids including goggles) became the norm. In 1868, in partnership with Dempster, Barker and Gull, he introduced the 'hard hat' to the pearling industry a full twenty years ahead of its time, only to fail. When the demands on the native divers became untenable, he  was also one of the first settlers to import what were then generally, but incorrectly, called Malay pearl divers.    In 1871, Broadhurst  travelled to England, where he bought the  for use as a transport for shell and labourers and as a mother boat  in the pearl industry.  It was also to be the first steamship to trade on the coast of Western Australia, carrying over 140 Malays to the coast and taking goods, passengers and shell to the Straits Settlements.  The loss of the Xantho  after only a few voyages caused Broadhurst substantial financial difficulties. Unable to continue as a pearler in the north west,  he  took his men to Shark Bay, there joining Francis Cadell as the two leaders in the industry.  Initially very successful, being lauded as a "man in 10,000" due to his great successes, on 6 July 1874, Broadhurst was nominated to the Western Australian Legislative Council.  He then moved to Perth leaving his nephew Daniel Broadhurst in charge.  A severe downturn in the industry saw reports that the Malays employed by Broadhurst and Cadell were unpaid, unable to return home and some had starved to death. In 1875 magistrate Robert Fairbairn was sent to investigate pearling conditions at Shark Bay. Fairbairn held that Broadhurst had not paid 18 Malays a total of £183. 4s. 2d. recovering £11. 12s. 5d. from the sale of Broadhurst's property at Shark Bay. Cadell was also found to have underpaid 10 Malays £198. 14s. 4d. from which they recovered just £16. 16s. Broadhurst resigned from the Legislative Council on 24 November 1875. He then sought a writ of certiorari and the judgement was set aside by the Supreme Court in January 1876 on the technicality that the notice had been given to his nephew Daniel and not to Broadhurst personally. Broadhurst experimented with the sale of Shark Bay shell in London 1878, but failed. He pioneered fish-canning at Mandurah with considerable success, but soon sold the enterprise. By 1884, he had established the guano industry at the Houtman Abrolhos; though he worked energetically in the industry until 1890 he did not prove a success. In that year, he retired in favour of his son, Florance Broadhurst, who with his mercantile education proved enormously successful. In excavating the Gun Island guano deposits,  F.C. Broadhurst's men unearthed relics from the Dutch East India Company ship . He catalogued these finds and presented them to the State of Western Australia. Initially thinking the relics were from the , Broadhurst arranged for the purchase and translation of an original account of its loss. This led to its eventual discovery after Henrietta Drake-Brockman, a playmate of his children, became interested in the story and as an adult conducted her own research into the tragedy.

Retirement in England

After Florance Broadhurst  took over the guano industry, Charles and Eliza Broadhurst returned to England and they purchased a home in Bournemouth they called Karrakatta.   One daughter, Katherine Elime Broadhurst, followed her mother's interests (as evidenced by entries in Eliza's scrapbook since donated to the Western Australian Museum) in the 19th century feminist movement. She subsequently became a suffragist. On her return to Western Australia  'Kitty' Broadhurst was one of the 12 women who formed the St George Reading Circle, which became the Karrakatta Club. It became a leading force in making Western Australian the second state in Australia to grant women the vote.  Predeceased by Eliza, Charles Broadhurst died on 26 April 1905 at Bournemouth.

Percentage binding of testosterone, androstenedione and dehydroisoandrosterone in human plasma
Maguelone G. Forest, Marco A. Rivarola, Claude J. Migeon
Equilibrium dialysis, ultrafiltration by centrifugation and by vacuum gave similar results for the percentage binding of testosterone (T), androstenedione (Δ) and dehydroisoandrosterone (D) when using plasma samples diluted 1:5 at 37°C. The percentage binding of T is significantly lower in male plasma than in female plasma. Pregnancy and estrogen treatment in males increase T binding, whereas ProveraRtreatment in males decreases it. In addition to T itself, 5α-androstan-3α, 17β-diol, estradiol-17β and to a smaller extent estrone can compete for T binding. The percentage binding of Δ was similar in male and female plasma. Pregnancy and estrogen or ProveraR treatment in males had no effect. In range of concentration used, there was no binding competition by the steroid tested. Although the percentage binding of D was not influenced by sex, it was increased in pregnant women and estrogen-treated men. There was also a slight competition by T.

Jupiter Re-Enters Aquarius on July 28
Jupiter is the most important planet in the zodiac. It is the planet of happiness and expansion. Jupiter is a very powerful planet. It has the ability to make things grow and develop. When Jupiter is in Aquarius, it can bring about rapid growth and expansion. It can also bring about new ideas that are likely to come true.
Jupiter transits through Aquarius on July 28, 2017. Jupiter is a planet of expansion, therefore Aquarius is a great time for expansion in all areas. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and it is right now in the sign of Aquarius, so you can expect to have more fun and expand your creative ideas in your life.
Jupiter in Aquarius is a sign that's about to enter a new cycle, which means it's time to make some major changes in your life. Like the planet itself, Aquarius is a sign that's all about breezing through life's challenges and looking for new ways to improve life.

Jupiter stations straight in Aquarius 20 on October 17, 2021.
Jupiter will return to Pisces on December 29, 2021.
Jupiter went retrograde last month and will return to Aquarius on July 28. Jupiter was last in Aquarius between December 2020 and May of this year. Prior to it, from January 2009 to January 2010, Some motifs from 2009-10 may have resurfaced earlier this year. We moved onto new subjects in May, when Jupiter entered Pisces. Jupiter is a massive planet that draws enormous themes, events, and moments that teach and inform our philosophy, views, and major ideas. It's not subtle at all.
Jupiter, who is in Aquarius, had to share energy with Saturn, who is also in Aquarius. Saturn may offer a gloomy, "what's the point?" attitude, which irritates Jupiter. Jupiter felt free as it crossed into Pisces in May, no longer sharing a sign with Saturn. Jupiter was more porous, ready to take in Pisces' knowledge. Our inner mystic may have been awake, we may have been leaning into our faith, we may have shied away from unpleasant situations for fear of being taken too low, or we may have witnessed hopelessness and struck a brick wall.
When Jupiter, our solar system's largest planet, returns to Aquarius, we carry some of Pisces' intellectual juju to Aquarius via Jupiter. We seek for like-minded individuals in Aquarius, we bring big ideas to the table, and we build alongside others. We aren't simply do-gooders for the sake of doing good; we want to develop new solutions, new ways of doing things that are sustainable (Saturn's good side). We also recall, "Oh, I am a person, and hey, you are a human, too." Jupiter will remain in Aquarius until December 29, but unlike the first half of the year, when he had to cope with a grumpy Saturn, this time he returns with the wisdom of Pisces. The strength of faith, the power of the mystical, even if we were to despair, Jupiter says Saturn now in Aquarius, "We can accomplish what it takes with others on our side, let's join up." Do not be shocked if you are drawn into meaningful social gatherings where you contribute something significant or unique and get acknowledged for it.
Astronomical charts calculated by the famous astrologer Marjorie Cameron-Drake will reveal that Jupiter will enter Aquarius on July 28, 2014. This is a very significant time for the world and the individual, especially because Aquarius is about to be ruled by Saturn. Saturn only appears twice in a lifetime and this is the time he takes up residence in the sign of Aquarius in order to bring us to our knees..

SAILING: HERE'S to the next 100 years! Fidlers Ferry Sailing Club members are raising a toast to a successful future after marking their centenary with an open day.
Members and guests enjoyed an action-packed event which drew big crowds and civic dignatories to the clubhouse.
But that isn't the end of the festivities for the club - off Station Road in Penketh, where a plaque was unveiled to commemorate the 100th birthday.
Chris Forster, the club's bar chairman and immediate past chairman, said: 'The open day was a brilliant event.
'There was more than 100 people in the club quite apart from those who were out sailing.
'We had a lot of boats out for the dinghy racing plus rescue boats.
'Now we are preparing for our awards night and dinner dance on December 4 where we will be presenting all the trophies won in racing throughout the year.
'We have visiting commodores from other sailing clubs and all kinds of other guests - it is normally our biggest night of the year.
Fidlers Ferry is the third oldest sailing club on the River Mersey and sailing on that section of the river can be traced back to the Warrington Regatta in 1843.

Peter Crouch calls for inquest into Stoke City's season of woe
Veteran striker admits he will reassess his own future come the summer if Stoke City are relegated
Keith WalesCVS Editor - Midland Sport
Could Peter Crouch quit the Potters if they are relegated? The veteran striker has admitted he would have to reassess his future if the Potters were to go down.
The 37-year-old signed a one-year extension in November that ties him to the club until 2019.
However, with the second-from-bottom Potters needing to win both of their remaining games just to be in with a chance of escaping the drop, Crouch said: "It's a difficult one. I signed for another year because I thought we would be in the Premier League. It didn't even enter my head that we wouldn't be."
Stoke City matchday LIVE! It's Potters v Palace in do-or-die Premier League clash at the bet365 Stadium
The Potters play Crystal Palace in a lunchtime kick-off knowing only a win will do, and Crouch added: "From a personal point of view, it would be a real shame to leave this club. For me, it's about playing these two games and everything else will take care of itself in the summer."
Several Stoke players have now admitted that the summer will be a time to reassess their futures if Stoke were to be relegated, but Crouch insists there must also be an inquest into the Potters' woes.
He told Sky Sports: "I'll have to take stock in the summer, but we have to address what has gone on this season because we have been nowhere near it.
Pottermouth revealed! The brilliant story behind the battle cry that inspired promotion
"Over the course of the season we deserve to be where we are. I have been here seven years and we have been nowhere near relegation, we have always been top 10 or thereabouts, but this year we have fallen well short.
"The new manager has come in and revitalised it, and the fans can see we are leaving everything on the pitch and doing everything to try to succeed, whereas maybe earlier in the season it was embarrassing at times. We came off the pitch and asked had we done enough and I didn't think so.
"You have to hold your hands up, but it's frustrating to be a part of it. There will probably be an inquest in the summer about what happened this season but for now, it's two games and we have to win them."
Crouch has been encouraged by Stoke's recent upturn in form, particularly their battling draw at Liverpool last week.
He added: "It was a massive point. Not many teams have gone to Anfield this season and kept a clean sheet and got a positive result. We showed a lot of fight and character and it was important to get a result, be it a draw or a win. We are still in with a fight."

For eight years, they thundered aloft in cramped Russian spacecraft from a former Soviet spaceport in Kazakhstan, battling bureaucracy and gravity to blaze a trail across the heavens and redefine what it meant to be a space traveler. No longer would access to orbit be limited to highly trained astronauts chosen on merit and working on behalf of their nations; instead, space would be open to any sufficiently healthy people with enough money and moxie to qualify.

Wall Street's latest easy money craze has attracted a growing number of space companies. But, just because they can go public, should they?
Seven space companies have gotten caught up in the SPACovirus sweeping through Wall Street. The impact on the space industry is going to be interesting to watch.
A SPAC is a special purpose acquisition company. It's a publicly traded investment firm that, with outside investors, acquires or merges with another company, and then takes the acquisition public under its own name.

Today, Sept. 27, marks the 15th anniversary of Richard Branson announcing the launch of Virgin Galactic Airways. It's been a long, winding road between that day and today, filled with many broken promises, missed deadlines, fatal accidents and a pair of spaceflights.
This year actually marks a double anniversary: it's been 20 years since Branson registered the company and began searching for a vehicle the company could use to fly tourists into suborbital space.
Below is a timeline of the important events over that period.

Clark Lindsey over at New Space Watch reports on the following rumor from Silicon Valley:
NSG Analysts have heard from several usually reliable industry sources that a major company, possibly "Google or Facebook," could be announcing the launch of a very large constellation of satellites in the near future.
"Very large constellation" is defined as up to 1,600 small satellites. Based on information Parabolic Arc has received, the story seems to be true. Google appears to be pursuing a plan to provide global broadband services that is similar to a failed attempt by a company called Teledesic.

IRD takes on United Methodist Women membership claims
May 2, 2014 By Recently Read Leave a Comment
Alexander Griswold of the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD), a conservative religious think-tank which is often critical of United Methodist boards and agencies, released a story challenging the membership claims of United Methodist Women (UMW). Responding to the news reports on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's address to the UMW Quadrennial Assembly which claimed a UMW membership of 800,000 members, Griswold examines the most recent statistics from the General Council on Finance and Administration to suggest that UMW membership has been in decline for many years:
The General Committee on Finance and Administration keeps a tally of UMW members, reported each year by local churches. The last time there were 800,000 UMW members was in 2001: 811,289 to be exact. By 2012, that number had fallen to 528,156, a decline of 34.9%. At its height in 1974, the UMW had 1.36 million members, meaning it has lost more than 60% of its members.

People in Oxfordshire care about…
GroupsNewsOCF
We know that local people are concerned with homelessness as highlighted by our Christmas campaign where we matched public donations. OCF commissioned a survey by YouGov on behalf of Oxford Homeless Movement to dig a little deeper and provide a benchmark of national and local attitudes to homelessness.
The research found:
People in Britain and in Oxfordshire do care about homelessness. 40% are "very concerned about homelessness and rough sleeping" in Oxfordshire compared to 30% nationally.
People in Britain are not clear about who is helping to tackle the issue of homelessness and rough sleeping in the UK – with 37% saying 'nobody' or 'they do not know'.
Shelter has the largest number of Brits recognising its contribution unprompted with 26% followed by Charities in general at 15%. Few people see Local government (7%) or Central Government (4%) as helping
When asked who should be responsible for helping with the issue from a prompted list there was a clearer view with 67% of Brits saying Central Government and 65% saying their Local Council and 50% saying charities.
These numbers were higher in Oxfordshire – 71% saying Central Government, 68% Local Council and 55% charities should be responsible for homelessness. This fits with the aim of Oxford Homeless Movement – that has these groups working together.
There is untapped potential for donations and volunteering. Far more people say they would consider both than say they have done them. 41% of people in Oxfordshire would be willing to donate in the future compared to 35% nationally.
19% of British adults would give directly to people on the street. More would buy them food or drink at 30% but a similar number would ignore them (29%). Part of the role of Oxford Homeless Movement is help the public understand where they can help.
Oxford Homeless Movement is a budding partnership of public, private and charitable organisations aiming to tackle the problem of rough sleeping in the city. The research responses on who should be responsible for tackling the issue of homelessness fits with this partnership idea. By working together, Oxford Homeless Movement aims to help people off the streets and keep them off the streets.
The partnership is looking at long-term and innovative solutions to the complex problem of homelessness. The idea that something new and different is needed makes sense in terms of the gap, reported in the research, between who is responsible and who is doing something to help today.
Read the full research report Attitudes to Homelessness and Rough Sleeping
All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2,023 adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 5th – 8th April 2019. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 18+). A boost for Oxfordshire of an extra 126 respondents, which has been weighted and representative of all Oxfordshire adults has been quoted separately, only where it is statistically correct to do so.

The More Representation, The Better
business, know, society, thinkpiece, youtube	January 14, 2020
"I think it's very important for people to be celebrating all these different types of people because you never know who your customer is going to be." – Christian Siriano
Historically, the "tried-and-tested" formula in advertising of what's sexy, smart, or overall, just good, has been very, very white, young, heterosexual, and able-bodied. We see this in the years-long lack of representation of minority groups within media, as well as the perpetuation of stereotypes about women, as docile, overly-emotional sex objects, and men, as powerful, emotionless, head-of-household's.
Before "taking a chance" on 'The Cosby Show' and 'Roots,' Hollywood's white, male executives often believed that putting Black people on television wouldn't be of interest to most Americans–yet, both sitcoms went on the have two of the most viewed episodes in TV history. When it comes to female misrepresentation, feminist activist and advertising researcher Jean Kilbourne has tackled the perniciousness of these beliefs throughout her career; and though improvement has been made since she began her work in the 1960s, gender stereotypes in advertising remain, and creep into our society in much bigger ways.
Off of TV screens and billboards, we see proof of this in education, wherein history textbooks and leisurely reads alike facilitate the erasure of important events for POC and LGBTQ+ people by the lack of coverage. In 2016, POC accounted for a measly 22% of children's book characters, though making up more than 40% of the US population in thirteen states alone.
It's no surprise then, that the lack of representation of all of these groups is also apparent within corporations and the cultures they cultivate. The many fiascos, involving major players like Victoria's Secret's former head Ed Razek, celebrity brands, like Kim Kardashian with her now-defunct 'Kimono' shapewear, and ubiquitous brands like Nike that represents women in their advertising while facilitating the mistreatment of female athletes within their running program, shows the power of having a diverse chorus of open, and well-informed minds at the head of an operation.
Marketing Exec. Sekinah Brodie points out that "different perspectives and including a variety of people can only help bring out the best in a product or service. When you decide what type of culture you want, listening to your team will help to cultivate that."
In today's hyper-social market, wherein your next loyal customer is only an Instagram scroll or soundbite away, what is the point of not creating a team that reflects society as a whole, and has the know-how to inform the brand in a way that widens its reach?

Sahara says on January 16, 2020
The quote is a really interesting one as it's one that not many companies embody. In terms of representation, I 100% agree with you the media we consume is still very much in one POV and it's only after a bit of chipping away at it – i.e. minorities trying to get their rightful seat of the table – that we minorities can relate a bit more to media. For example, Hasan Minhaj's The Patriot Act is I believe one of it's kind and it didn't happen overnight!

goKnowWear says on January 20, 2020
Agree 100% with you! We're getting more seats at the table, but still not nearly enough. The lack of diversity within the heads of Fortune 500 companies, let alone the majority of companies themselves speaks volumes about how much farther we still must go.
