Australia's eastern states face an energy shortfall three times higher than forecast, with gas supply predicted to fall well short of what is needed unless action is taken, potentially meaning further export controls.
The Australian Energy Market Operator has reported next year's gas supply shortfall could be "higher than expected" which could lead to even higher energy prices for eastern and south-eastern Australia, particularly for industry, which accounts for almost 40% of gas usage.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission also warned of a coming shortfall.
The government has a mechanism which would keep more gas onshore for domestic use and earlier this year started the process to enact it.
Labor has been calling on the government to start it up, but although the prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said it was "ready to go", the government needed to make sure it was "fit for purpose".
Bill Shorten demands gas market transparency to tackle 'energy crisis'
"It is a process of careful consultation," Turnbull said on Monday. "Had we made a determination a week ago, we would have done so on the basis of information which was inaccurate.
"If we are not able to receive the assurances from the industry to our satisfaction and that of the ACCC, then we will impose those export controls."
Turnbull said states with a moratorium on gas exploration "have failed" and it was "one of the biggest long-term problems".
In a statement which accompanied its report, Aemo's chief executive, Audrey Zibelman, said: "Projections of aggregated gas production and LNG gas demand vary, based on market conditions and contracting, indicating a dynamic situation that can change rapidly and warrants continued close attention and monitoring."
Turnbull said he had spoken to the gas export companies on Monday morning and said "they've indicated that they're committed to ensuring [a shortage] does not occur too".
"We want to see a plan from them, we want to see a commitment, then we want to be satisfied that it meets the requirements of the ACCC," he said.
"This is all part of the process that we set out when we set up the gas security mechanism at the beginning of the year."
Labor has repeatedly called on the government to pull the trigger to enact the export control mechanism but Turnbull said that proved "they have no idea how the mechanism works".
"They haven't bothered to get into that sort of detail, too much hard work I suspect," he said. "The process is going exactly as we planned it to."
The government has until 1 November to enact the mechanism, which would come into effect on 1 January.

Home News Caravan and Motorhome Club Collection	The Women Pioneers of The Caravan Club
The Women Pioneers of The Caravan Club
Angela Willis, Curator, Caravan and Motorhome Club Collection
When The Caravan Club of Great Britain and Ireland (today known as the Caravan and Motorhome Club) was formed in 1907, it aimed to bring together the UK's growing number of horse-drawn leisure caravan enthusiasts. In great contrast to the many exclusively male members' clubs of the Edwardian era, The Caravan Club actively welcomed women who formed around a third of the clubs membership during its formative years. Here we meet some of these pioneering women listed in the Club's registers.
Mrs Edith Dawson
In the early twentieth century the craze for the idyllic pursuit of the horse-drawn caravan holiday was sweeping across the leisured and professional classes of Britain. For many who lived in bustling and industrialised areas, the draw of a relaxing tour through coast and countryside was great. The health benefits of enjoying fresh air was greatly promoted by the Victorians and Edwardians. For many, as it does today, the caravan provided a solution for the perfect escape.
First ever gathering at Ockham, Surrey, 1908
The Caravan Club, as it was then known, was founded by a group of eleven enthusiasts on 14th June 1907, headed by writer and barrister J Harris Stone. The organisation welcomed both men and women to its membership, with many unmarried women filling its ranks, casting aside the social conventions of the previous generations and enjoying a new found independence. Writing in 1914, J Harris Stone observed the social change which was enjoyed by women of this generation:
'Taxis are used by women, equally with men […] young women live in flats like bachelors; and ladies' clubs unknown when Victoria ascended the throne, are common. The climax, in the eyes of the old-fashioned and censorious, has come – women actually go on caravan tours!'
Among the group of eleven founders of the organisation was Mrs Edith Dawson (née Robinson) who alongside her husband (and fellow founding Club member) Nelson Dawson were central figures in the Arts & Crafts movement. The couple were particularly well known for enamelled jewellery which, true to the ethos of Arts & Crafts, revived historic and often forgotten skills and techniques to produce their artworks. The similarities in the Dawson's approach to art and their interest in caravanning are striking, with both movements promoting a return to a simple approach as a direct reaction to increased industrialisation. Sadly nothing is documented of Mrs Dawson's caravanning exploits, and her involvement with the Club appears to be short lived after disagreements which arose over the running of the newly formed organisation. However, she can certainly be credited as the first female member of the Club.
Growth in female membership
Other women were quick to follow, by 1912 membership had risen to 267, nearly a third of which were women. Uncounted in the Club's list of members are the numerous women who enjoyed the hobby equally with their member husbands. Caravanning was a pursuit enjoyed by many married couples, where traditionally leisure pursuits were often split between the sexes and undertaken separately. One Club member Mr Johnston Green commented how: 'My wife and I and a maid lived in it for four months last summer (1912), and were most comfortable, having almost every convenience that one gets in a good house.'
Grace Simmons at the Club's 1914 New Forest Meet
A large proportion of female members also used the hobby as an opportunity to spend time with friends. For many years the committee was served by Miss Grace Simmons, well known for travelling with a party of two other friends. They used caravanning as a means of enjoying outdoor pursuits such as hunting, shooting and fishing, which for the previous generation were largely the preserve of men. Yet women who travelled solo often employed a male servant to tend to the horses, although this was not always the case with J Harris Stone noting in 1914 that 'I know a mother and her two daughters who "van" alone, without even a servant to look after their two horses.'
Harris Stone also wrote of one young unnamed lady member who travelled through England and Wales entirely alone with a donkey and cart. Partially paralysed and of a delicate constitution she was advised to spend more time in the open air, and took to the road in the hope that this would have benefits on her health. She wrote to Harris Stone often with tales of her independent travels, living as simply as she could and buying all her supplies from farms.
Madge Paton with 'The Tortoise'.
At the more luxurious end of the caravanning scale, a new breed of caravanner was emerging on British roads in the years before the First World War. The pioneer motor caravanners were a group who embraced new developments in automobile technology and travelled in bulky and often cumbersome ancestors of the motorhome. Mrs Madge Paton of Dundee was one such pioneer who combined caravanning with motoring. She toured the roads in her large motor caravan named The Tortoise, employing a coachman to do the driving.
From its earliest days The Caravan Club attracted independent and adventurous women into its ranks. Artists, students, campaigners and Suffragettes were all among the women who enjoyed the freedom of the road.
Throughout 2018 the Caravan and Motorhome Club Collection will be commemorating 100 years of votes for women by exploring the theme of the caravan and the Suffrage campaign in a series of blogs. Keep up to date with the Collection on Twitter @CAMCCollection

Syapse Providing 'Free the Data' Software Infrastructure to Enable Data Mining, Visualization
Jul 31, 2013 | Turna Ray
Originally published July 30.
Syapse, a company that develops software products for omics-based diagnostics, will provide software infrastructure for the Free the Data initiative that will enable patients to see their genetic data compared to others and allow clinicians to share variant interpretations with the broader research community.
Through the Free the Data effort, the founding organizations – including health advocacy organization Genetic Alliance, the University of California San Francisco, and genetic testing firm InVitae Corporation – are encouraging patients to get their genetic test reports from their healthcare providers or counselors and submit the information to an open-access database called ClinVar, hosted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The initiative is focused on submitting data from genetic test reports that show whether an individual harbors mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
In joining the Free the Data initiative this week, Syapse said it will provide infrastructure that enables data mining, visualization, and reporting. Those submitting data on BRCA gene variants will be able to see their data in comparison to others in the database. Healthcare providers will be able to learn information on whether BRCA variants carried by their patients confer a heightened risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. Researchers can explore the variants and the evidence on them, and apply the knowledge to their own studies.
A spin-out of Stanford University, Syapse was founded in 2008 and is based in Palo Alto, Calif. According to Syapse President Jonathan Hirsch, the Free the Data movement will utilize the company's semantic computing platform, which stores biomedical information. Free the Data will also run two of Syapse's applications on this platform – one that allows the organizers of the initiative to load, store, structure, and curate the collected data; and another that physicians, researchers, and patients can use for interactive views of the genetic information.
Genetic Alliance and its collaborators launched the Free the Data movement last month as an extension of Sharing Clinical Reports, a project in which the University of California's Robert Nussbaum and other volunteers have been reaching out to cancer clinics and asking them to submit de-identified data from BRCA test reports (PGx Reporter 4/19/2013).
These data-sharing efforts are particularly necessary when it comes to BRCA testing, Nussbaum and others believe, because for almost two decades only one firm, Myriad Genetics, has provided BRCA testing. Seven years ago, the firm stopped sharing data on BRCA variants and their association to disease in an open-access repository, and began storing the information in a proprietary database (PGx Reporter 11/2/2012).
As such, other labs and researchers have limited knowledge about rare BRCA variants and their association to cancer. With efforts such as Sharing Clinical Reports and Free the Data, researchers and patient advocates are trying to collectively build up the knowledgebase around BRCA gene mutations, discouraging others in the life sciences field from storing genetic data as trade secrets, and speaking out against diagnostic monopolies in general.
"The Free the Data initiative comprises many laboratories and medical centers, from UCSF and Geisinger to the ICCG consortium, and data sharing of clinically relevant mutations is the main goal of the initiative," Hirsch said. "Syapse provides distributed, cloud-based software for managing, mining, and utilizing complex biomedical data, along with collaboration features, to enable sharing between all partners in the initiative and with the broader biomedical community."
Genetic Alliance and the organizers of Free the Data have assured that patient privacy is not a point of concern in this initiative. Genetic data stored in ClinVar is de-identified. Through a privacy and permissions infrastructure, called "Registries for All," those who decide to participate through Free the Data can control who can access their information.
The privacy protections in Free the Data "enable individuals to submit their data and control exactly how each component of their data is viewed and used down to a very granular level," Hirsch said. "We will utilize each individual's privacy and permissions settings as captured in 'Registries for All' to define with whom each individual's data can be shared," for example, if the person wants to share their data "with Genetic Alliance only, with academic researchers but not companies, or with everyone."
Myriad has expressed concern, however, that sharing data in public projects could result in a privacy risk. In a June 20 letter published in the New York Times, Myriad CEO Peter Meldrum wrote the following: "We believe that medical decisions based on the interpretation of genetic data are crucial to the well-being of patients, and we know of numerous examples in which the clinical use of unregulated public databases has jeopardized patient safety or privacy. Patients alone should ultimately have the right to decide whether their personal genetic data is deposited into public or government databases. At Myriad, our policies emphasize patient privacy and safety through our regulated laboratory process."
Several studies have found that data privacy is a challenge and re-identification is possible in public sequencing projects that analyzed the whole genomes or exomes of individuals. However, ClinVar will store only variant data, which according to experts, doesn't carry the same privacy risks as storing whole genome or exome data.
Through Free the Data "we will only be storing variant level information, similar to what is in ClinVar, not the underlying sequence or whole genome or exome information," Hirsch noted.

Labeling on sunscreen bottles is about to get a whole lot less confusing. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced on Tuesday stricter new rules for sunscreen manufacturers' claims of sun protection, including new provisions that will allow labels to maintain for the first time that products can help reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging.
The rules, which the FDA has been considering since 1978, will go into effect by next summer. They will require sunscreen manufacturers to test their products' effectiveness against two types of the sun's ultraviolet rays: UVA and UVB. UVB rays are largely responsible for sunburn; both UVA and UVB rays cause skin wrinkling and cancer.
Sunscreens that effectively protect against both types of rays will be labeled as providing "broad spectrum" protection. Sunscreens that are both broad spectrum and have a sun protection factor, or SPF, of 15 or higher will be permitted to claim that they help reduce the risk of skin cancer and premature skin aging.
Any product that has an SPF of 2 to 14 or doesn't meet the broad spectrum standard must include a warning saying it hasn't been shown to reduce the risks of cancer or skin aging.
The FDA has also proposed doing away with SPF designations above 50, because there's no evidence that sunscreens with such high SPFs offer better protection. The agency has asked for further data and public comment on the matter. "Right now, we don't have any data to show that anything above 50 adds any value for anybody," Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's drug center, told the New York Times.
The new rules will also prohibit manufacturers from claiming their products are "waterproof" or "sweatproof" because those terms are misleading. Instead, sunscreens may be labeled as "water resistant" and must indicate how long in minutes — 40 minutes or 80 minutes — they maintain sun protection while swimming or sweating, based on standardized tests.
The F.D.A. announced that it was re-examining the safety of the roughly 17 sunscreen agents approved for use in the United States, although it has no information to suggest that they are not safe. … Some consumer and environmental groups have expressed concern that the ingredients in some sunscreens have been made so microscopic that they could be absorbed through the skin into the body, but Dr. Woodcock said that the F.D.A.'s own tests had found no cause for such concerns.
More than 1 million Americans are diagnosed with basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, the two most common types of skin cancer, each year. More than 68,000 are diagnosed with melanoma, which is the deadliest type of skin cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Forget the openside options, it's time for England to find their Pieter-Steph du Toit on the blindside
1:56pm, 30 August 2020

1:56pm, 30 August 2020 Go to comments
You would struggle to find too many individual campaigns that top that of the one turned in by Pieter-Steph du Toit last year, as the gifted blindside flanker set new standards at his position.
The Springbok was named World Rugby Player of the Year in 2019, in the wake of his nation lifting the Rugby World Cup for the third time and his wonderfully complementary performances alongside talismanic captain, Siya Kolisi.
Despite the trend of playing with two more mobile and defensive breakdown-oriented flankers in recent years, with the Australian combination of Michael Hooper and David Pocock and the English duo of Tom Curry and Sam Underhill chief among the impressive proponents, du Toit and South Africa went back to basics and it is something which paid off for both the individual and the team.
Courtney Lawes speaks openly about England rugby, Eddie Jones, BLM and much more
Beyond his strong all-round skill set, perhaps the areas where du Toit most impressively singled himself out last year were with the physicality he brought on both sides of the ball, his ability to clear out aggressively and accurately at the breakdown and his presence as a lineout option. In those facets, du Toit was as good, if not better than anyone else at his position.
There are not many players with du Toit's ability in world rugby, though he has become a torchbearer for the more traditional blindside flanker, whose value in international rugby seems to currently be trending up. You need look no further than the impact Courtney Lawes has brought to the role for England in recent seasons to see a homegrown example of this.
Even for Eddie Jones and England, whose array of openside flanker options seems to be overflowing, with Curry and Underhill joined by the likes of Ben Earl, Jack Willis, Lewis Ludlam and now a rumoured call-up for former Wales U20 captain Tommy Reffell, the temptation to go down the size route at six is surely a tempting one.
In addition to Lawes, whose displays on the flank in recent years have been highly impressive, both Nick Isiekwe and Ted Hill have been championed as contenders for this spot moving forward.
Isiekwe has been shining at Saracens for multiple seasons now, though it was his man of the match-winning performance on debut for Northampton Saints, away from the strength of his Saracens' teammates, that has particularly caught the eye of late. As for Hill, he has seemed to take to captaincy at Worcester Warriors like a duck to water and has continued to maintain his lofty standards of performance, irrespective of the expectations now on him as a leader.
At 22 and 21 respectively, Isiekwe and Hill have plenty of time on their sides and both have already made their international debuts for England. The higher they take their games, the harder pressed Jones will be to more regularly adopt a traditional and physical blindside, over the mobility and fetching skill that opting for the 'Kamikaze Kids' combination that served him so well at the Rugby World Cup in Japan would provide.
The well is far from dry beneath that, too, something which is being exposed as a much-needed silver lining by the recent Coronavirus outbreak and its subsequent impact on professional rugby.
The 19-year-old George Martin was excellent for Leicester Tigers in their home loss to Bath, exhibiting all of the work rate and physical presence that had become synonymous with Leicester forwards during the club's heyday. He packed down on the blindside in that game, though he is more than comfortable stepping into the row, a position he played throughout his U18 seasons with the Tigers academy.
At London Irish, Ben Donnell has begun to come to the fore, with Adam Coleman continuing to rehab from injury in Australia, and the academy product has looked comfortable at lock, despite Irish's post-pandemic struggles. He could well be seen as difference-maker at blindside moving forward, especially with Chunya Munga beginning to emerge at Hazelwood and arguably possessing the more natural frame for a second row.
Both Martin and Donnell are benefitting from the short turnarounds between games that are forcing Gallagher Premiership sides to use the entirety of their squads and though the quality of games is being affected as a result of this heavy rotation, these are experiences which will be critical to their development during these formative years of their professional careers.

All four have the versatility to switch between lock and blindside, something which they will hope provides them with an ace up their sleeves when they attempt to crack Jones' fiercely contested group of second and back rows.
George Kruis' departure for Japan creates a potential short-term opening, whilst Lawes is set to turn 32 next season and there will be attention focused on whether or not there is any of the physical decline that inevitably comes to all players. Given the strength of the second row unit in particular over the past five or so years, this seems as good a time as any to be pushing for England involvement at the position.
As for the back row resources, that's going to be a tougher sell. The cadre of openside options mentioned earlier are all in the early stages of their careers, with none yet even having approached what would traditionally be considered their 'primes'. If these blindsides are to successfully make the case for the balance they would provide in that loose forward trio, they are going to have to do it by outplaying their vaunted, fleeter and smaller back row colleagues.
Reports suggest the top South African teams could make the move up North very soon.https://t.co/Bgwr7V9yyg
There has understandably been a lot made of that impressive depth at seven, especially when compared to a dearth of options in that traditional mould in years gone by, though that should not diminish what is rapidly becoming a rather impressive array of talent at blindside, too.
Isiekwe and Hill are among the hottest properties in English rugby, whilst Martin is beginning to prosper in the East Midlands and Irish will be hoping that Donnell's performances are not attracting too much attention from their Premiership rivals. For those with their eyes on a succession plan beyond that, you need look no further than recent schoolboys Ewan Richards at Bath and Kayde Sylvester at Northampton, or Saracens U18 prospect and Felsted pupil Obinna Nkwocha.
With English schools and academies producing these versatile forwards at a fair clip, England fans should be wary about diving too deeply into the pool of opensides, with the Springboks and du Toit having emphasised strongly the value of having a true blindside in a balanced back row.
One thing is for certain, though, and that is that England have not had such a deep and talented pool of flankers to pick from in many years.

This week on MIA Radio, we turn our attention to Open Dialogue and we chat with psychotherapist and Open Dialogue trainer Alita Taylor. Alita is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, trainer and facilitator based in Tacoma, Washington USA. Her passion is working from a community-based, non-expert, need-adapted Open Dialogue perspective, which utilizes social networks, family, and co-facilitation with other professionals.
In this recent blog, Alita shares why Open Dialogue 'cannot be taught, but needs a teacher'.
We are in constant change when we are in crisis. Timelessness sets in. Growth is happening. We don't exactly know what we need. That is what mental health work is, sitting with this human happening. In the in-between space, something happens, and we don't know what will. This is the paradox. We are navigating the ebb and flow of incoming knowledge we have from research and the ebb and flow in each patient and family's difficulties (the meanings they make of them).
Michael Pohl wrote about dialogical leadership and culture in which he referenced Karl-Martin Dietz and Thomas Kracht of the Hardenberg Institute for Cultural Studies in Heidelberg, Germany. Michael remembered a discussion on whether dialogism can be taught or experienced. It was argued that the dialogic attitude cannot be learned and that any thought of teaching it is unnecessary. Michael disagreed. He writes, "It cannot be taught, but it needs a teacher."— Medium.com, March 2018.

Democratic incumbent Diann Woodard lost her bid for reelection, unofficial results show. She lags Byrum by more than 100,000 votes. Newcomer William Deary is running fourth, about 22,000 votes behind Woodard. None of the third-party challengers received more than 2.25% of the vote.
While Kelly said it's difficult to unravel voters' motivations, he hoped his victory is an endorsement of his stance on tuition.
"I do believe we have to focus on whether we're keeping MSU affordable and accessible to Michigan residents," Kelly said.
Kelly works as a lawyer and lives in Clarkston with his wife and four children. He's served on several elected boards, including six years on the Oakland Community College Board of Trustees.
Byrum said endorsements from the Michigan Milk Producers Association and Michigan Farm Bureau helped to propel her to reelection.
"I really think that happened was the Trump vote," she said. "You're seeing the votes coming out of rural Michigan."
Byrum is a partner at public relations firm Byrum & Fisk Advocacy Communications. She was first elected to the board in 2008. Ensuring MSU is accessible and affordable will remain her number one priority, she said.
Woodard was reflective about her time on the board following Tuesday's result.
"I had an excellent opportunity and time at MSU," she said. "Where else can a poor girl from Detroit rise to be a Board of Trustee member and get an opportunity to have an influence on the university she could barely afford to attend?"
With Kelly and Byrum's wins, MSU's board will consist of four Democrats and four Republicans beginning next year. The current board is chaired by Democrat Joel Ferguson. Mitch Lyons, a Republican, currently serves as the board's vice chair.
Ferguson said he doesn't expect Kelly joining the board to change its dynamics significantly.
"We've found a way to put the university before any partisan politics, that will continue with (Kelly) coming in," Ferguson said.
The task of keeping tuition affordable as state funding for higher education ranks among the lowest nationally will continue to be an issue trustees grapple with, he added.

The Catholic School
by Edoardo Albinati
Farrar, Straus and Giroux | General Fiction (Adult)
General Fiction (Adult)
Pub Date 13 Aug 2019
A semiautobiographical coming-of-age story, framed by the harrowing 1975 Circeo massacre
Edoardo Albinati's The Catholic School, the winner of Italy's most prestigious award, The Strega Prize, is a powerful investigation of the heart and soul of contemporary Italy.
Three well-off young men—former students at Rome's prestigious all-boys Catholic high school San Leone Magno—brutally tortured, raped, and murdered two young women in 1975. The event, which came to be known as the Circeo massacre, shocked and captivated the country, exposing the violence and dark underbelly of the upper middle class at a moment when the traditional structures of family and religion were seen as under threat.
It is this environment, the halls of San Leone Magno in the late 1960s and the 1970s, that Edoardo Albinati takes as his subject. His experience at the school, reflections on his adolescence, and thoughts on the forces that produced contemporary Italy are painstakingly and thoughtfully rendered, producing a remarkable blend of memoir, coming-of-age novel, and true-crime story. Along with indelible portraits of his teachers and fellow classmates—the charming Arbus, the literature teacher Cosmos, and his only Fascist friend, Max—Albinati also gives us his nuanced reflections on the legacy of abuse, the Italian bourgeoisie, and the relationship between sex, violence, and masculinity.

Jessica Long becomes second-most decorated U.S. Paralympian
By Nick ZaccardiSep 13, 2016, 6:33 PM EDT
Jessica Long won her 21st career Paralympic medal Tuesday to become the second-most decorated U.S. Paralympian of all time.
Long, 24 years old but already in her fourth Games, captured her fourth medal in Rio, bronze in the 100m backstroke.
Earlier in Rio, she earned silver in the 400m freestyle, bronze in the 100m butterfly and silver in the 100m breaststroke and was fourth in the 100m freestyle.
Only retired swimmer Trischa Zorn has more medals among U.S. Paralympians with 55, most by any Paralympian ever. Long passed other retired Paralympians, track and field athlete Bart Dodson (20 medals) and swimmer Erin Popovich (19 medals), to move into second on the U.S. all-time list.
Long made her Paralympic debut at age 12 at the 2004 Athens Games, where she won her first three golds. She followed up with four golds in Beijing and five in London and trained under Bob Bowman before the coach left Baltimore for Arizona.
Long was born in Siberia with fibular hemimelia, which means she didn't have fibulas, ankles, heels and most of the other bones in her feet. She was adopted from a Russian orphanage at 13 months old, raised in Baltimore, and at 18 months old her legs were amputated below the knees.

Pictures of Green Mtn
Words/images: Kåre Dehlie Thorstad | From Issue 64
March 6, 2022 Peloton Magazine
Kåre Dehlie Thorstad is a Norwegian photographer who has worked with Peloton for many years. His attention to detail and creative process is a huge asset to our magazine. As the official photographer for race organizer Amaury Sport Organisation, Kåre covered the Tour of Oman in 2017 and we asked him to describe the atmosphere in Oman and also to help us understand what happened on stage 5 when the riders faced the famous climb of Jabal Al Akhdhar, or Green Mountain.
This story originally ran in issue 64
What is it like making the trip from Norway to Oman and photographing the race?
Oslo, Norway, to Muscat, Oman, is a hefty ride, especially mid-February, as the temperature difference from one to the other amounts to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). It's a long haul, too, timewise, but, above all, it's a colossal cultural voyage from a modern Western society to a pretty-strict Muslim country. It's a big jump, in many ways. Also, the Tour of Oman is normally my first race of the year, so there is always nerves involved, always a little doubt buzzing inside, afraid of not being up to the task ahead.
It's an ancient country and has this modern sport and modern colors zigzagging through it….
Oman doesn't have any culture for cycling really, although the Tour of Oman has been run since 2010. The race travels through a desert-like countryside, sporadically inhabited. Oman, officially The Sultanate of Oman, has a population of less than five million people, and it shows on the road. However, the ones that line up show great enthusiasm even though they don't understand what is going on. Undoubtedly, the contrast is pretty huge, throwing a predominantly Western sport into the ancient Eastern way of Omani life.
Green Mountain has an almost mythical feel. Can you describe the climb and that stage for us? What was it like being there?
Green Mountain, or Jabal Al Akhdhar as it is called in Oman, is where the final GC comes to a conclusion. It's the queen stage of the race and it's very often a brutal experience for the riders involved. As expected, the big guns battled it out for overall victory and, rather surprisingly, Ben Hermans of BMC held on to the leader's red jersey and took the stage in convincing style, crossing the finish line ahead of Fabio Aru and Rui Costa.
The stage is all about the mountain, as there are no serious difficulties until the gradients ramp up—but when they do, all hell breaks loose. We have to keep in mind that the new season is just underway and that this is the first real uphill challenge for many of the riders in the peloton. Some riders already have Argentina or Australia in their legs, while quite a few come straight off training camp with no racing at all—just like Romain Bardet of AG2R, the French rising star and protagonist of the race. Obviously, riders are on very different levels, and it shows on Green Mountain. There is absolutely no place to hide when the gradients tower above 10 percent, sometimes exceeding 15 percent. At 5.7 kilometers, Jabal Al Akhdhar averages 10.5 percent with the last 2 kilometers at 13.5 percent—which is steep! Combined with the usual heat, the riders have to be careful not to blow up inside the last kilometer.
This time, the front-five breakaway was caught with 4 kilometers to go, and Lachlan Morton of Dimension Data was the first one to give it a real go. His attempt was futile, however, and the Australian was caught in the last 3 kilometers by a group of 16 riders including eight of the top-10 GC men. It was then Merhawi Kudus' turn to take off just before the final kilometer, but he too was reeled in. Victory finally went to the red jersey himself, Ben Hermans, who powered off with 750 meters to go, beating Fabio Aru by just three seconds, while former world champion Rui Costa crossed the line in third, 11 seconds adrift. The riders almost stumble across the finish line, gasping for air, and there is no doubt they give it their all. Some are in need of assistance to keep upright, and some need to lie down to catch their breath in the shadow of a team car. It might as well be an uphill finish in France, Spain or Italy, but the mountains and the golden light on the horizon tells us that this is Oman.
Can you tell us about the people and how the riders interacted with them…and you?
People along the racecourse are few and scattered along the dusty countryside, but they are joyous and curious, always with a smile on their face and thumbs high up in the air. Many have never seen a bike race before, and we can only wonder what they make of it. I guess it seems absurd to them to race on a bike in the heat, with no other real purpose than crossing a finish line. Most people struggle to make ends meet and get food on the table each day, actually, so what the UCI means by bringing cycling to the outposts of the world is sometimes a strange affair to me. More could be done to promote cycling itself in Oman, not just the race….
Do you want to go back…as a photographer or a traveler?
The Tour of Oman is a special race to me, as the atmosphere is pretty relaxed, making it possible to work closely with the riders participating. You can't get that close during the Tour de France. No way! This makes for good photography, and that's what drives me, really, and that is why you want to go back to Oman. The future of the race is undetermined, though, as the general feel for cycling in Oman is a troublesome subject, especially after the demise of the Tour of Qatar. There was a natural transition between racing in Qatar and Oman, the one following the other, but without Qatar, Oman may turn out less attractive in the future. Cycling in the Middle East doesn't have the same cultural grandeur as in France, Italy or Belgium, and so races risk being eradicated with a stroke of the pen. Personally, I do hope the Tour of Oman can go on, and—hopefully—I will return next year.

The problem with side projects is that they always lead to comparisons with the main band. In fact, 'problem' may be the wrong word; let's try 'issue'. The issue with side projects is that they always lead to comparisons with the main band, which is understandable, but nonetheless, the issue remains that if an artist struggles to deviate from their original, main work, then why bother to strike out on their own? On the other hand, if the solo project is better than the parent band it begs the question of what the artist has been messing around with and why they've never produced something of this quality before. A good side project should highlight an artist's strengths and remind listeners what a valuable asset they are to their main project. It shouldn't sound like a collection of album filler or an ill-thought-out b-sides collection.
Not being a massive Sigur Rós fan, I was a bit wary of singer Jónsi's side project, a team up with boyfriend Alex Somers. I wondered, would it sound like Sigur Rós? How far removed from what Sigur Rós does is Riceboy Sleeps? Is it just more of the same? And, considering that he often sings in a made up language, why couldn't he think of a better band name than Jónsi & Alex? So I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a warm, friendly soundscape, a delicate mix of gurgling synth patterns and subtlety-deployed field recordings. I thought to myself: what a brave move by EMI to release an album made up of one half hour long drone piece; maybe there's hope for music; maybe this Sigur Rós guy isn't so bad. Then I googled something about the album and discovered my mistake. Or should I say EMI's mistake – I'd been sent the wrong CD. It seems that the CD I'd received was in fact the bonus disc, the parts that weren't good enough for the main album. Not to worry I thought, I'm sure the record proper is as good, if not better. And here's the kicker – it turns out it's not.
Riceboy Sleeps suffers in a way that only a side project can – it sounds far too much like the main band to be considered as a separate entity. If we side step for a minute argument about the inherently similarities of form within the music people choose to describe as post-rock, then we can probably all agree that Sigur Rós are a pretty unique-sounding band; so when you're presented with a song that's made up largely of what makes Sigur Rós sound so unique, it just all seems a little redundant. Take 'Indian Summer'; ten minutes of strings and some treated vocals from Jónsi and you've pretty much got yourself some prime album filler. Yet at other times, when the duo step out of the shadow of Sigur Rós and deviate a little from their previous works, Jónsi & Alex deliver some strong results. It's at these points that Riceboy Sleeps seems more like a record in its own right. Parts like the glacial-sounding electro static of 'Sleeping Giant' or the choral drone of 'Boy 1904' certainly suggest Jónsi & Alex are capable of producing a strong ambient piece of work, but there's still something not quite right.
The biggest problem that Jónsi & Alex face is a lack of quality control and a lack of focus. At an hour long, Riceboy Sleeps seems to drag and fade into the background too often and too easily. If they cut out about half of the songs and focused more on the parts that sounded less like Sigur Rós, Riceboy Sleeps would be a much stronger record. As it stands, it doesn't do enough to be thought of as much more than 'not as good as Sigur Ros'. When you factor into the equation what they've shown themselves capable of on the bonus CD, it makes you wonder whether Jónsi & Alex really had their priorities right when they made Riceboy Sleeps.

The ancient history of the Mosley name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided in one of the places called Moseley in Staffordshire and Worcestershire (both in the West Midlands region), in Moseley in West Dean in Gloucestershire, or in Mowsley in Leicestershire. There is also a Mossley in Greater Manchester.

Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Mosley include Moseley, Mosely, Mosley, Mossley and others.

You know me, I'm a big fan a bowl of oats in the morning. I wouldn't dare call it boring, but hey, I'm always looking for new ways of livening my morning porridge up a bit, y'know, without chucking a load of chocolate in the bowl ;-). Well, it's Blood Orange season – one of my absolute favourite fruits. They're great on their own, but they're even better when they're in an upside down cake, on top of muffins, or used to make a pink icing for donuts, and it turns out that they make a pretty great curd too.
Sterilize a large jam jar with boiling water, then set aside.
Whisk together all the ingredients in a saucepan, then cook over a low heat. Keep stirring gently for about ten minutes, or until the curd begins to thicken.
Pour into the sterilized jam jar and then leave to cool.
I'll have to bookmark this recipe for my mum's birthday! She's a big fan of lemon curd, so I reckon this would go down a treat. Thanks for sharing, Nia!


Dr. Anderson regularly publishes free CME content.
Based on known data regarding MDS and its etiology as well as potential therapies (see below) there is a low probability of 'cure' using known therapies. Supportive care is the mainstay of therapy especially in patients over 60 years of age. Oxidative treatments are indicated, as well as transplantation, growth factors, demethylating agents and immunosuppression.
BACKGROUND: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis with dysplastic bone marrow leading to peripheral cytopenia, risk of infection, and progression to acute myelogenous leukemia. Maitake mushroom beta-glucan, a dietary supplement, stimulates hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor production, and recovery of peripheral blood leukocytes after bone marrow injury. This phase II trial examined the effects of Maitake on innate immune function in MDS.
METHODS: Myelodysplastic syndromes patients with International Prognostic Scoring System Low- and Intermediate-1-risk disease received oral Maitake extract at 3 mg/kg twice daily for 12 weeks. Primary endpoints included neutrophil count and function tested as endogenous or stimulated neutrophil production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by flow cytometry compared with age-matched healthy controls (HC). ROS activators were Escherichia coli, phorbol ester, and the bacterial peptide N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). Complete blood counts, chemistry panels, iron studies, and monocyte function were evaluated.
RESULTS: Of 21 patients enrolled, 18 completed the study and were evaluable. Maitake increased endogenous (basal) neutrophil (p = 0.005) and monocyte function (p = 0.021). Pre-treatment monocyte response to E. coli was reduced in MDS patients compared with HC (p = 0.002) and increased (p = 0.0004) after treatment. fMLP-stimulated ROS production response also increased (p = 0.03). Asymptomatic eosinophilia occurred in 4 patients (p = 0.014). Other changes in albumin, hemoglobin, and total protein were not clinically relevant.
CONCLUSIONS: Maitake was well tolerated. Enhanced in vitro neutrophil and monocyte function following treatment demonstrate that Maitake has beneficial immunomodulatory potential in MDS. Further study is warranted.
From: Takami A, Asakura H, Nakao S. Menatetrenone, a vitamin K2 analog, ameliorates cytopenia in patients with refractory anemia of myelodysplastic syndrome. Ann Hematol. 2002 Jan;81(1):16-9. Epub 2001 Dec 8.
Vitamin K2 induces differentiation of leukemic cell lines and apoptosis of immature blasts in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We recently reported a case of MDS-refractory anemia (MDS-RA) with trilineage hematologic response to oral administration of menatetrenone, a vitamin K2 analog. To determine a possible role of this agent in treatment of MDS-RA, we conducted a prospective randomized trial assessing the safety and efficacy of menatetrenone. A total of 18 consecutive patients newly diagnosed with MDS-RA were randomized to receive either 45 mg of oral menatetrenone (group 1) or no menatetrenone (group 2). Administration of menatetrenone was well tolerated. Of the nine patients in group 1 (56%), five improved with menatetrenone treatment while only one (11%) of the group 2 patients improved. Three patients (33%) showed a major response in absolute neutrophil count (ANC), two (22%) showed a major response in hemoglobin concentration, and two of the nine (22%) showed a major response in platelet count. The ANC of group 1 patients rose after treatment, while that of group 2 patients decreased slightly at follow-up after 16 weeks ( p=0.03). Significant improvement was also seen in final platelet count ( p=0.01), but not in hemoglobin concentration. Given the absence of toxicity, menatetrenone can be recommended for all patients with MDS-RA.

Q: Add more markers with different location in Google maps in JavaScript code How can I add more locations to my google maps and have them  get the same  marker icon to each different location?
Here's the code:

I will be very grateful for your help, I am still learning.

A: You can create an array of objects that contains the coordinates (lat and long). Use forEach to loop thru the array and make a marker.
var listOfLocations = [
  {lat: 18.906286,lng: 19.102439},      //Somewhere in Africa
  {lat: 8.331083,lng: 105.549002},      //Somewhere near Vietnam
  {lat: -27.440040,lng: 135.067341},    //Somewhere in Australia
  {lat: -14.338904,lng: -51.507365},    //Somewhere in Brazil
];

listOfLocations.forEach(function(o) {               //Loop thru the array
  var marker = new google.maps.Marker({             //Make the marker and add to the map
    position: o,
    map: map,
    icon: markerImage                               //Set image
  });
})

Note: No need to make new google.maps.LatLng object as per Google Map Marker Doc

China: the business and cultural secrets
Charles Orton-Jones -
Just how big Stockport FC is in China, no-one can say. The club dominates the sport in Liaoning, population 42 million, and the fan base has mushroomed across a dozen provinces in central and western China. Each summer the team plays to sell out stadiums in Hubei, Shaanxi and Sichuan. One region's government, Xinjiang, built a stadium and founded a team just so they could host the mighty Hatters. The TV audience for their last tour hit 700 million.
The club is achieving what every company in the industrialised world dreams of, namely turning the world's fastest growing economy into a core market.
With 1.3 billion untapped consumers and an economy that has sustained double- digit growth for a decade in the East, China is a mouth-watering destination for exporters. Unfortunately, Stockport County is a rare exception; most British businesses rarely get beyond the drooling stage.
The secret of Stockport's success: guanxi, which translates roughly as "relationships". For any aspiring international UK business, you must understand that long, deep-rooted business relationships are the key to success in China. Click here to read the full story about how to build your business in China.

John Ward September 2, 2021 Uncategorized
I've been pondering for much of today about how I might release myself from a commitment to pacifism. I mean fair enough, I get that all war merely kills millions of people who were not the ones who had the Big War Idea in the first place; and I know it merely serves to promote psycho generals and advance the Secret State. But war in the 21st century need not enrich arms dealers – or indeed, kill more than a few people who had the audacity to leak vital information about what was going down.
War today uses weapons such as currency values, economic damage, cyber attacks, media propaganda, weather control and pernicious health scares. If, like me, you're not prepared to get worried about such things – albeit keen to show that only compliance can help them succeed – then such nonsense is more laughable than lethal.
I'm weakening here. Suppose, for example, I were to become Teriyaki Chicken – the infamous Kamikazi pilot….a man who took out, one by one, the top billionaires and top brass behind our current malaise – thus becoming the only Japanese suicide pilot to fly 27 successful missions. Would I be deemed war criminal or Superhero?
Ironic LOL of the day has to be the story from Germany about a Green Party volunteer who left the street lights on in his village for five days. It's funny on two levels – because not only did he waste a phenomenal amount of energy, but under investigation it transpired that he accidentally covered up the sensor for village's automatic lights…..with a Greens election poster. You couldn't make this stuff up.
We must hope it isn't the beginning of a trend, or before you know it we'll have the anti-EU AfD Party accidentally voting for a Bill in Strasbourg to put the Greeks in charge of the Bundesbank.
Sajid Javid got born just after I left University. He's two decades younger than me and comes originally from an entirely different culture to mine. The multivariate problem I have with the bloke, however, is nothing to do with that: he was born in Rochdale (as was I) and made his ascent from nothing much (as did I).
My first issue with him is that his name is almost impossible to get right. It's like a kind of anagram that went wrong, such that his name should really be Savid Jadij or Vivid Jadas, and yet might also be Rabid Davos…which is, of course, not an anagram of his name at all, but does bear a striking resemblance to his banking career.
That segues very neatly into my second problem: a difficulty in dismissing his very senior role in turning Deutsche Bank into probably the most toxic bank in the world. Political Correctness these days insists that we should turn a blind eye to blind ambition when it involves a Person Of Colour. Insist away, O pc jerks – I am colour-blind: "I'm dusky of skin and therefore must be excused from blame" will never cut it with me.
Arseholes come in all the sizes and all the colours. I can forgive our Sajid for looking like Uncle Fester, but I have problems squaring his avowedly neoliberal instincts with the job of protecting affordable healthcare.
Other useful liberal idiots and Davosites around the world woke up this morning to the traumatic news that their hero Just Intrudeau might be Just In Trouble. The most recent Canadian election polls suggest that the largest Party in the next Parliament is going to be the Conservatives.
However – as I posted here five days ago – there is still an easy fall-back position for Trudeau, in that he can form a Coalition with the Socialist NDP….whose popular leader has made it clear that he would rather suck the nether regions of Donald Trump than let the Conservative Party gain power.
Meanwhile, he who cleaves to the cross-dressing Queens of Canada has reacted with a predictable grab-bag of fiscally unaffordable promises.
Thus by such spoiling tactics does "democracy" allow for the onward march of Progressive Intolerance.

They may indeed get away with it, but for how long? That is the question.
This world wasn't created so gobshites like the WEF et al could do as they wanted. Hitler, Stalin and their ilk tried it and failed.
So will they.

John Ward,
"he was born in Rochdale (as was I) and made his ascent from nothing much (as did I)"
So far as I am aware, you have never admitted that before
If you were born in Boundary Park Hospital – That is Oldham
Yet you can admit being born in Rochdale ?
She was a Nurse. She was dead nice…
Meanwhile..
I have found the last 18 months extremely difficult.
I retired at the age of 51, and I am now 68years old.
I just continued to go to absolutely loads of gigs (typically 3 a weekend) and about 5 or 6 Festivals Camping a Year…meeting people from all over –everywhere and chatting to them late at night, mainly in the UK, Spain, Greece, India and North Africa – Morocco and Tunisia…and Cuba…
Now, Most of The Rest Of The World Looks Locked Up..as if Particularly The Americans Have Gone Insane…Wearing Masks – Must Be Double Jabbed and Tested…
You see how this has done my head in….I am a vulnerable human being too.
I am not immune to any of this brainwashing…
My wife and I have been Sailing and Camping, and we have both got a great suntan, and sun bleached long blonde hair…(I dye mine – but its still growing out of my head)
So we look at each other..and say Yes lets do it Together.
We are going to walk into our Local Pub tomorrow night…
We are Going To See a Band.
Don't Know about the Jabbed
But We Look Great.
I'm taking my walking stick.

I occasionally dine on Chicken Lidl, but I don't think I've reached the heroic score of 27 successful suicide missions, although some of them have been close.

Those of us awake – not 'woke' I must enphasise – are doomed to be controlled not by the tiny percentage of globalist billionaires, but the people who live next door, our families, our once were friends, the businesses we would normally frequent, the surgeries and hospitals, the old folks homes. Petty government officials.
So many people we thought were level headed and salt of the Earth turned. Their brains extracted and replaced with jello, followers of the media word; the plackard; the headline – hook, line, sinker, fishing harbour and its entire industry. Estranged from reality.
What were these people before their commonsense evaporated before our very eyes? They were spawned by generations who faced bombardment from canon, bomb and bullet, who were gassed and drowned, imprisoned and tortured. Or were they? Has the generation who skipped all that – those being the great grandchildren brought up on doses of television, mobile phones, central heating and draught free houses, free 'love' and flower power – lost all sight and sense of what constitues a life worth living?
As for those so called multi billionaires 'fertilising' the minds of the aforesaid from behind curtains – quiet assassination by all means possible. ALL of them, without exception. Nuremberg 2 will not happen. There is nothing that poisonous cabal does not have control over. A pox on them all. A one way trip to the Moon, and programmed to miss. And take out Musk's Star Net on the way. No good will come of that.

I like the story that Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's offspring with Marvelous Margaret, who had an "open marriage" with Pierre.
Yes very open. Pierre had a long and lusty affair with Joan Collins of Dynasty infamy.
Peter Charles on September 2, 2021 at 11:27 pm
I think kfc has the right of it. As I said before, 'they' (and in truth we still don't know who 'they' are) control the political classes, be they left, right or centre, the governing classes (deep states), the Intelligence services, the armed services, the police services, the press, social media, the social justice warriors, education and academia, corporate and financial business, big charities, big NGOs. There is literally nothing to stop 'them' doing as 'they' wish.
If 'they' get their Great Reset and the average Joe retains sufficient comforts then 'we' the seven eighths will indeed 'own nothing and be happy'. If it all goes pear-shaped then there will eventually be blood on the streets and hopefully much piano wire and lampposts abounding followed by another 'great reset'. Frankly I think it is a complete toss-up which way it eventually pans out.

One thing is for sure, no none, no party is going to be allowed to go off script. Look what happened to those who did, was it 5? African leaders who thought they could choose a different path to the allocated one.
What we are witnessing is a 'historic event' it is way too big/advanced planned for us to do anything but succumb, there is, precious little else. As I opined in an earlier post, it beggars belief that folk look at say, for example the WEF's website stating they'll own nothing, and they tut and say! "Yeah, right, that'll never happen."
What's the old adage, you can't fix stupid?
john cheshire on September 2, 2021 at 8:33 pm
This answer is a little blurry because I only have a superficial understanding of the question in its relationship to the supernatural; ie. God. But the answer to our problems seems to me to be in the Bible.

Trudeau, the Gilderoy Lockhart of political leaders.
