"Simply knowing what must be done isn't enough. There must be collaborative efforts in policy, education and legislative action if we want to enact real change that will end tobacco use," says Mark Moreno, vice president for Governmental Relations and co-leader of the cancer prevention and control platform.

Many MD Anderson faculty and staff members in the cancer prevention and control field share this team-based philosophy. The sentiment also serves as the foundation of MD Anderson's EndTobacco™ program, formed to more rapidly decrease tobacco-related cancers through collaborative strategies geared to ignite real change.
The need for additional change is great.
In the U.S., tobacco use remains responsible for 30% of all cancers and 90% of lung cancer cases. Lung cancer is the world's deadliest form of the disease. Even more devastating, over 43 million people still smoke, and twice as many are exposed to secondhand smoke, making them susceptible not only to lung cancer and eight other cancers, but also several other diseases.
Behind those ambitious goals are at least 100 recommendations, many modeled on best practices in tobacco control from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. Unsurprisingly, all require a team approach. One strategy, for example, focuses on reducing the tobacco burden from the local to the international level by providing cessation expertise for the general public and targeted populations. This type of effort will require coordination among public health programs serving special populations whose tobacco use is disproportionately higher than in the general population.
With the launch of EndTobacco™ this past summer, MD Anderson experts hope that, despite limited resources, the state's tobacco fighting efforts can continue to have a growing effect.
In June, MD Anderson's first Texas Tobacco Summit brought together tobacco prevention and control experts from across the country to plan coordinated efforts and discuss the next steps. The results of that work and the new and strengthened collaborations to accomplish it will continue expanding.
Ultimately, EndTobacco™ aims to reduce and hopefully eliminate the suffering and death tobacco causes. This demands renewed commitments, enhanced collaborations and additional resources targeted toward the single greatest health threat we face. After more than five decades of combating tobacco use, there's still much to be done, but there's also room for optimism.

Athanasiou penalties ended up no harm, no foul to Oilers
Mar 04, 2020 • Last Updated March 4, 2020 • 1 minute read

CHICAGO — After a strong debut with the Edmonton Oilers coming over from the Detroit Red Wings just prior to the NHL trade deadline, forward Andreas Athanasiou is struggling somewhat.
Athanasiou was dropped from Connor McDavid's wing against the Nashville Predators and took a pair of ill-advised penalties against the Dallas Stars.
The Oilers managed to kill the hooking penalty Athanasiou took in the second period on his way to the bench and the tripping penalty early in the third.
"One was a poor call, a soft call, the other one was … a call," said Oilers head coach Dave Tippett. "That's the thing, the penalties themselves bother me because you're in a back-to-back and you know a team is coming hard and every penalty you take is putting you under duress again. We took a few there."
The Oilers took six minors in the game and were able to kill off five of them. Athanasiou nearly made up for his second penalty, getting a partial breakaway out of the box, but was unable to convert.
"The problem with the penalties — that last one with (Adam) Larsson — is we had the puck two or three times in our zone and we don't clear it and then you end up battling and he takes a penalty battling. If you make a good puck play then you never get to that battle, so there is some of that we can clean up."

Q: Pass a string as an id name into jQuery from an array javascript I want to make a javascript that randomly takes a string from an array and uses it as a jQuery selector but I don't know how.
$(document).ready(function() {
    var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1);
    var array = ["img1", "img2", "img3", "img4", "img5", "img6", "img7", "img8", "img9", "img10", "img11"];
    $("id[name^=array[x]]").click(function() {
        var src1 = $("id[name^=array[x]]").attr("src");
        var src2 = $("#img").attr("src");
        if (src1 != src) {
            $("#img").attr("src", src1);
        }
    });
    $("id[name^=array[x]]").trigger("click");
})

It doesn't work if I write "id[name^=array[x]]", it says:
"Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: id[name^=array[x]]"

A: You can try like this:-
$(document).ready(function () {
    var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 + 1);
    var array = ["img1", "img2", "img3", "img4", "img5", "img6", "img7", "img8", "img9", "img10", "img11"];
    var $id = $("[name^=" + array[x] + "]");
    console.log($id);
    $id.click(function () {
        var src1 = $id.attr("src");
        var src2 = $("#img").attr("src");
        if (src1 != src) {
            $("#img").attr("src", src1);
        }
    });
    $id.trigger("click");
});

EDIT:
Your selector is wrong here. So, if you want to select elements w/ id like img1, img2, etc. you need to use:-
var $id = $("[id^=" + array[x] + "]");

In case you want to get elements with name like img1, img2, etc. you need to use:-
var $name = $("[name^=" + array[x] + "]");

Please modify the code based on your requirements.
Hope this helps!

I was worried that it might not be powerful enough but it turned out to be better than our electric power shower. A slightly longer hose would allow for taller users but having said that, the one provided is about long enough - just a bit of a stretch. I rate this product very highly. Top quality!
The Midas 110 has plastic control knobs and a standard shaped bar valve. It also has slightly lower flow rates to the Midas 220. The Midas 220 has metal control knobs, a different shaped bar valve and also has a different style head kit to the Midas 110. The length of the hose on the shower bar valves will be 1.5m and the length of the hoses on the bath fillers with shower heads will be 1.75m.

The way in which we do business has changed significantly in the past 5-10 years.
International travel is common, the working day and indeed week has morphed and evolved and technology means we are contactable and ultimately 'on call' 24-7. Baby-boomers have somewhat accepted this and to an extent created this environment in which we operate but there's now a revolution afoot. Millennials and generation Z aren't lying down and accepting this as the norm. They are standing up and challenging business culture and behaviour.
Businesses today are faced with an increasingly expectant workforce. Millennials hold approximately 20 percent of leadership roles, a figure which is only set to rise. There are no two ways about it, millennials are wholly different from their baby-boomer predecessors. Millennial leaders prioritise people and hold values; both personal and business close to their heart and will make decisions based on these. Millennials aren't motivated by achieving Director level by the age of 30 and the title of CEO means nothing. What they value most is development (personal and professional), feedback, collaboration, flexibility and work life balance. Workers no longer strive to pay off the mortgage, instead they aim for new and exciting holidays, the chance to take a sabbatical to volunteer in Syria or trek the Himalayas.
And don't be fooled by their somewhat 'softer' nature. Millennials are fixed and committed to their convictions and won't hesitate to leave a seemingly good, well paid job for a job with a lesser salary, with more perks and benefits. A survey carried out by Cone Communications, showed that 75 percent of millennials would take a pay cut to go and work for a more responsible company, compared with 55 percent average across all ages. Interestingly, almost two thirds would point blank refuse to accept a job from an employer which didn't have strong CSR practices.
This profound interest in CSR among millennials has benefits for businesses and organisations and shouldn't be scoffed at. A company with a strong CSR practices can use these to their advantage and promote them when looking to attract and retain the very best talent. The same Cone research shows that employees want to work for a company they are proud of and have no qualms sharing stories and photos on their personal social media channels (76 percent) promoting their employer, compared with an average of 52 percent across all age groups.
For millennials, social media is an important window into their world, which allows them to portray their personal values, beliefs, experiences and emotions. Millennials want to know they've made an impact on the world and a key place for them to achieve this is now the workplace.
In the same token, millennials expect more from any workplace wellness programme – a fruit box and gym membership won't cut it anymore. It's all about personalisation and ensuing your offer is technology-led. Almost 50 percent of millennials check their phone 50 times a day and see email as passé. Therefore, if your offering isn't technology-led or mobile enabled it doesn't exist to this group of workers. Millennials appreciate and crave support and development. Therefore, help guide, educate and support them to make healthier choices but give them different options and allow them to drive the final decision.
We are entering a new era. This group of people are going to define a new style of leadership and a new way of doing business – it's exciting and I look forward to the next few years.

If you can make the dinner time hour feel less stressful, then you are doing something right. Just think, if you don't have to run out to the store just before dinner for a missing ingredient, that's more time you can spend with the kids playing at home. Or pouring a glass of wine to enjoy while you cook dinner. Or both.

6 September 2016 – A Greek human rights activist and a Greek volunteer rescue team – Efi Latsoudi and the Hellenic Rescue Team (HRT) – have been jointly awarded this year's Nansen Refugee Award for their efforts to aid refugees arriving in Greece during 2015.
According to a news release from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), since 2007, Greece has been challenged by the arrival of a large number of refugees and migrants, but in 2015 sea arrivals escalated to an emergency. On the island of Lesvos alone, numbers topped 500,000 last year. In October 2015, arrivals peaked at more than 10,000 per day, as conflicts in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq continued to uproot people from their homes.
The Nansen Refugee Award recognises outstanding service to the cause of refugees and displaced people, and was first handed out in 1954 – Eleanor Roosevelt was its first recipient and other awardees since then include former refugee Hawa Aden Mohamed of Somalia and Sister Angélique Namaika of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is named after Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served as the first High Commissioner for Refugees at the League of Nations, the predecessor of the United Nations.

Have you been staring at paint chips for weeks and still can't tell the difference between Desert Taupe and Taupe Gray? Choosing an interior color scheme is tough. We're here to make it easier.
It might seem counterintuitive, but the first step to creating the perfect interior color scheme is looking at the exterior of your home.
Focus on brightness and tonality. Do you use warm colors or cool? Bold or subdued?
You're going to want to carry those same themes indoors.
We're not saying the colors need to match exactly, but utilizing a similar palette inside and outside creates a noticeable sense of harmony appreciated by every single person that walks through your front door, and avoids the conflicting unease created by clashing interior and exterior color schemes.
Creating an interior color scheme is like cooking up the perfect meal. So where better to start than in the kitchen? As a centralized room, the kitchen will have a big impact on the rest of the home, especially in popular open concept floor plans.
Wall color should fit with the same color themes you defined based on your home's exterior, cabinets and countertops as well.
Let's tackle the cabinetry first. Will they be stained or painted? Light or dark? Warm or cool? Find a color that speaks to you, and remember that cabinets are a major focal point of the kitchen, and should help drive the decisions you make about the rest of the home.
As for countertops, go for a bit of contrast. Dark cabinets look great with light counters, and vice versa.
And always remember that there's only one star of the show. If the cabinets, counters and floors are all vying for center stage the look will get too busy, and lose consistency.
The devil is in the details, and accents are incredibly important in designing the perfect color scheme.
For instance: the bathroom. It's a room that guests will use frequently, and deserves some design love.
The simplest choice is to carry over the same cabinet and counter styles from the kitchen.
But if you'd rather create different personalities for different rooms, feel free to switch it up. Just make sure you stick to the original color motif.
Other accents can be added in the form of dishtowels, decorative pillows, tablecloths, furniture, wall art, etc. Go bold with patterns, or stay sleek with solid colors. This is a great area to experiment in, since it's much less permanent than cabinets, counters, and paint.
As always, be true to you. Your home is a reflection of your personality, and one person's perfect interior color scheme might not work with another person's vision.

Mbappe is obsessed with scoring – Galtier reacts to PSG star's historic five-goal haul
Christophe Galtier was seemingly unsurprised by Kylian Mbappe's brutal five-goal display in Paris Saint-Germain's Coupe de France demolition of Pays de Cassel on Monday.
PSG eased into the last 16 of the competition with an emphatic 7-0 victory at Lens' Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with Mbappe involved in all but one of their goals.
The sixth-tier opposition – who were technically the home team – did not look overawed and played some attractive football during the early stages, but the floodgates opened once Mbappe put PSG ahead with 29 minutes played.
It was 4-0 by half-time, with Mbappe netting three and setting up Neymar – the France forward added another two after the break to become the first player in PSG history to score five times in one match.
Carlos Soler – the scorer of PSG's other goal – also impressed, but it was Mbappe and Neymar whom Galtier focused on.
"Kylian Mbappe's a goalscorer, he's obsessed with goals and attacking," the coach told beIN SPORTS.
"I'm not going to say he's going to gain confidence [from scoring five goals], but he's up to his standard.
"It was important for him and Neymar to play the full game. They combined a lot and looked for each other a lot. It was good for them."
Such a contest represented the risk of a major shock for PSG, but there was never any real danger of a defeat as the Parisians produced a thoroughly professional display.
Mbappe believes that reflected the respect they have for lower-league opposition.
"We're happy, we came to qualify and respect this team," he said.
"Respect means playing at our level. We're happy. It was a great opportunity for [Pays de Cassel], and for us because we also come from amateur football.
"We are very happy to come and play, and it is an important competition for Paris Saint-Germain."
On the other side of things, Pays de Cassel coach Samuel Goethals spoke of his pride despite the heavy defeat, highlighting how playing in front of such a crowd was by no means a regular occurrence.
"It's still a source of great pride," he added. "The game was complicated, we did things within our means. I'm super proud of the group.
"We knew the balance of power was going to be very unbalanced, and it was unprecedented for each of us to play in front of 35,000 people, but I saw a yellow and black stadium, it was magnificent to experience.
"You have to be real, we are in Regional One, the sixth division, we are amateurs, and this was seen on the field. I would have preferred that we conceded one or two goals less, but [the match's speed] was too fast."

Many people interested in better stoves know something about fire, smoke, health and new ideas. However, to explain these on a more fundamental level that is understood by all can be difficult. Therefore to explain the relationship between health and smoke, I turn to the late comedian Steve Allen who said that "Asthma doesn't seem to bother me any more unless I'm around cigars or dogs. The thing that would bother me most would be a dog smoking a cigar." For those who are promoting stoves innovations, I quote Mark Twain who says "The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds."
More seriously, I recently came across this nice brochure on space heating stoves that has been published by the California Environmental Protection Agency. I was struck by this brochure because in a very simple way it publicizes the issue of smoke and health, the need for standards, the basic principles of combustion and even the alternatives to wood stoves including gas and electricity. These are many of the same issues that the clean cooking community today is attempting to communicate to the general public. This brochure highlights the fact that improved heating stoves in the United States and other developed countries are now very efficient and burn very cleanly compared to past stoves. But this was not always the case.
Painting of Old Heating Stove in School
On a personal note, I can remember old coal stoves used to heat "temporary" small classrooms built to accommodate a sudden rise in student populations. These "potbelly" coal heating stoves were similar to the wood burning stove in the picture. At the time in western Pennsylvania coal was king and this was at the very end of the time period when people would heat with traditional coal stoves. Was it smoky? Yes. Was it energy efficient? No. Did it give good even heat? No. Wast it durable? Yes. Was it safe? Yes. Was it cheap? Yes. Now of course schools are heated with modern systems.
Even now there are legacy fireplaces and wood stoves that burn warmed air in the house which in turn draws in cold air from the outside. Thus, the old traditional space heating stoves in developed countries are somewhat analogous to open cooking fires in developing countries. The rather important exceptions are that the cooking fires and traditional cookstoves in developing countries typically are built of local materials by those who use them and they also do not have chimneys.
The old wood heating stoves produced and sold were both polluting and inefficient. After the EPA developed and approved standards for space heating wood stoves in 1988 the manufacturers mostly fell into step and now the stoves meet the fairly strict standards and are sold advertising this fact in retail stores around the country. During the initial years after the regulations took pace there were many stove manufacturers that went out of business probably because their products could not meet the new standards. The regulations are not for the faint at heart, and I provide a link to compliance monitoring for them. You will find that they are very exhaustive. However, one advantage of having such standards is that now programs are being implemented in some communities to change out old stoves for EPA certified new ones thus reducing emissions during cold weather. These stove can also be inserted into fireplaces. I just recently had one (a Vermont Castings Montpelier fireplace insert) installed and your can see a picture if it in the by clicking this link.

Stove in use in David's Auto-Credit: D. Barnes
By contrast, for cooking stoves in most developing countries, there are no established standards and no agreement on rating systems that would confirm that new stoves are efficient, durable, clean burning or safe. One question is whether the establishment of standards or rating systems for typical cooking cycles like those used to rate gas mileage in cars could be the catalyst that leads to widespread development and adoption of stoves in developing countries, and also be the catalyst for improving stove performance. After all, such stoves could be sold in stores accompanied by marketing campaigns that extol their virtues. Donors and governments could promote these stove in their projects and be assured that they actually perform better that traditional stoves or open fires. Communities could use local block grants or development funds to participate in programs to improve local health due to reduced pollution both indoors and outside. Providing support to develop markets for approved stoves could be justified based on the both environmental and health grounds due to assured benefits.
Today there is some possible movement on efforts to establish standards or at the very least a rating system for better stoves. Before getting started on the new better stove initiatives do we need to establish a framework for standards, protocols and rating systems. Is this a good or bad idea?
Take the poll and provide comments! I know there are some strong feelings about this topic. So let's hear them!!
poll by twiigs.com
Labels: Biomass Energy, Fuelwood, Improved stoves, Indoor Air Pollution
Hi Doug
You certainly make a good argument for standards and rating systems, but I think you perhaps overlook a key question: whether standards should be set at a country level or globally. The poll seems to touch on this with the option "individual programs can establish their own standards...", but that begs the question of what a 'program' is.
I don't believe we need some sort of global standard (the US EPA standards work perfectly at a country level, and would NOT necessarily be appropriate in, for example the UK), but equally I don't believe that "Joe Bloggs Enterprises" can realistically establish their own standard.
In my opinion best practice on approaches to testing protocols in a range of settings can and should be established; and then 'programs' should work to build local capacity to introduce and administer standards which encourage industrial development along a typical 'Best Available Technology Not Entailing Excessive Cost' (BATNEEC) path.
In my opinion there is no 'one-size-fits-all' solution to the standards question.
Thanks for the great blog.

Dear Doug
Thank you for an interesting blog.
I would like to share what I find is a very interesting efficient cook stove project in relation to implementation approach and in relation to monitoring systems. The project is being implemented in Cambodia by the French NGO GERES. Standardization, certification, quality control and monitoring have according to GERES played a crucial role in securing the overall success of the project.
A quick project description:
GERES has taken a value chain approach to stove dissemination. The rationale behind the project was to target the producer segment and to help artisans produce a higher quality and more fuel efficient stove than the one they were already producing which could then be sold via existing distribution channels at a higher price. The stove is in demand by users because of higher fuel efficiency. The selling price of the stove has been fixed in such a way that the outlay by users could be recouped due to fuel savings within one to three months. By working the cost structure back from the customer to the producer, the margin for middlemen and producers has been established. This has resulted in a commercialized business case that is beneficial to all actors in the stove chain from producer to customer.
The project started 10 years ago. Sales grew exponentially between 2003 and 2009 and currently around 25.000 stoves are sold every month. Around 160.000 families are using the improved stove. This represents a cost saving for those families of 2.5 million USD and a CO2 saving of 770.000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent over the course of the project's lifetime. The saved CO2 is being sold as carbon credits on the voluntary market under the voluntary carbon standard feeding funding back into the project.
According to the project implementer themselves (GERES) standards, certification, quality control and monitoring systems have played a very central role in achieving success for the stove project. For example:
- Product and process standards have been introduced in the producer segment to secure the quality consistency and energy efficiency of the stove.
- Each producer has his/hers own unique logo making it possible to trace back individual stoves to a certain producer.
- Certification labels are issued on the basis of observed sales and only once the stock has been monitored and the stoves are living up to the set standards.
- A system of stamping the stoves with the month and year of production has been put in place to enable accurate records of average lifespan of the stoves.
- Producers of the stove are also required to fill out sales log books to document production and sales. This makes it possible for GERES to keep track of how many stoves are being produced and sold every month.
The certification system acts both as a quality control measure and as a monitoring tool to document production and sales rates, usage rates, stove lifetime and the stove shelf time (the time it takes from the stove is produced until it is being used in the households). Being able to collect this type of data is necessary to make the documentations needed to obtain carbon financing.
In the particular case described here the individual program has established its own standards and standard systems have been developed and expanded as the program scaled up. There is quite a lot of documentation on this project and by looking at verification and monitoring reports (for this and other best practice projects) it may be possible to identify indicators, measurement approaches etc. that could inspire a wider M&E framework.
And then of cause there is a difference between using an artisanal approach to stove dissemination and mass manufacturing and distribution of stoves but that is another discussion. Maybe different M&E frameworks need to be developed for different project implementation approaches? I will leave that up in the air for discussion.

Four reasons for the Canadiens' disastrous start
Mitch Gallo
What a bad start to the season.
The Montreal Canadiens' points percentage is .300 and only two teams are worse.
This is a team that went to the Stanley Cup Final and won three straight series in which they were the clear underdogs. Even those who believe Montreal's run was a mirage, couldn't predict them being this bad.
GM Marc Bergevin doesn't have any answers…
"It's hard to explain and I'm not going to defend or protect because we're all in this together," Bergevin told TSN Radio 690. "Night after night and very few in between did we play our best hockey. I think to the Calgary game where I saw the same team that performed in the playoffs last year for two and half months. The effort and the compete is nonnegotiable and I understand there's a few things like the short turnaround and it effect teams. It's just the effort lack of engagement that I see night after night recently, it's hard to explain"
So… What's the issue?
Short off-season
Making a run to the Stanley Cup Final takes a toll. Doing it in a pandemic shortened season takes it to another level. The games were condensed and so was the off-season. The playoffs concluded on July 7, when the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens in game five. Training camp began September 22 and the season started October 13.
That's an arduous turnaround and considering many believe the Canadiens overachieved to begin with, getting off to a strong start was unlikely.
It's simple to point out but this isn't the same team from a year ago. Some of the movement with the roster is self-inflicted and some out of their control.
Phillip Danault believed he was more than a defensive specialist. The Los Angeles Kings offered a lucrative deal worth 33-million dollars. Montreal could have given him a greater role and the money but chose not to.
Corey Perry signed as an unrestricted free agent with the Tampa Bay Lightning. They offered him a two-year deal while Montreal wasn't comfortable with that length.
Tomas Tatar wasn't a factor in the playoffs but was part of one of the best lines five-on-five during the regular season. With the depth the Habs have at the wing position, it's hard to criticize the team for letting him walk.
They didn't plan for the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer-sheet by the Carolina Hurricanes and were left in a tough spot. He delivered some big moments in the playoffs.
Youngsters not taking a step forward
Young players don't always take the giant step forward that management expects. Montreal's players got off to a slow start and even though they've been better lately, it contributed to the rocky beginning of the season.
Nick Suzuki didn't score his first goal of the season until November 2. He played so badly on October 31 against Anaheim that he called himself out after the game.
"Today I wasn't really doing much to be honest," said Suzuki. "Probably one of my worst games, so I'm pretty disappointed in how I played. I have to play better."
After that game against Anaheim, Cole Caufield was sent to the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League. He's looked better since being recalled but is still in search of his first goal of the season.
Alex Romanov was made a healthy scratch and seems to have found his game since. He also took being a scratch in stride.
"I like nature, I like Montreal and the mountains and the good views," said Romanov. "I like walking with my wife, old port and Griffintown, pretty good spots."
Good teams deal with injuries to key players. The Lightning don't have Nikita Kucherov or Brayden Point and it doesn't seem to matter. But for a team like Montreal, key injuries have hurt. They've been scored on a league worst 70 times. And if not for key players missing on the backend, that stat would be different.
Shea Weber's career is in jeopardy. It's unlikely he plays again. His absence is felt in every area of the game.
Not having Joel Edmundson has created a crater in Montreal lineup. It hasn't only affected the team as a whole, but directly impacted Jeff Petry.
Carey Price should be applauded for stepping away and getting the help he needs. Some things are more important than hockey. But there isn't a hockey fan out there that doesn't know his importance to the Canadiens. If he was around, a lot of the blowout losses would have been closer and the team would be playing with more confidence knowing he'll bail them out. Price was the number one reason they went to the Stanley Cup Final in July and is his absence is why they're at the bottom of the standings now. The Montreal Canaidens go as Carey Price goes.
The season is far from over but making the playoffs becomes more improbable by the day. But with Edmundson and Price nearing a return, the youngsters finding their game and the short off-season well behind them, they will climb a couple spots in the standings. They aren't as bad as they've played.

Still: Can the Canadiens stop getting killed by their penalty-kill?
Robert Alpiner
I enjoyed watching Canadiens play last year, particularly how they went to the Stanley Cup finals. Carey Price is the best; get him back between the pipes and the team improves immeasurably. Stay tuned. Even if he does not make the turnaround complete, there is always next season.

SYNTHETIC INTELLIGENCE, a department of computer science that seeks to create a computer system able to sensing the world around it, understanding conversations, learning, reasoning, and reaching decisions, just as would a human. In 1950 the pioneering British mathematician Alan Turing proposed a test for artificial intelligence through which a human subject tries to speak with an unseen conversant. The tester sends questions to the machine by way of teletype and reads its answers; if the subject can't discern whether the dialog is being held with one other person or a machine, then the machine is deemed to have synthetic intelligence. No machine has come close to passing this take a look at, and it is unlikely that one will within the near future. Researchers, nevertheless, have made progress on specific items of the synthetic intelligence puzzle, and a few of their work has had tangible advantages.

Greta fuels up to take charge of 2019.
In February 2018, Chimney Rock Park's resident groundhog Greta predicted that six more weeks of winter lay ahead and that the New England Patriots would win the Super Bowl during overtime, reveals the park's promotions manager, Landdis Hollifield.
But just because it was one of the warmest Februaries in memory, with a record number of 70-degree days, and just because the Eagles beat the Patriots 41-33, that doesn't mean Greta isn't willing to try her hand again (or her nose and whiskers, as the case may be). Attempting to reinstate her former reputation for accuracy, she'll appear on February 2 to confront her shadow and prognosticate both the weather and the game.
A few facts: Western North Carolina is the southernmost range for the large marmot, known colloquially as a whistlepig or a woodchuck. These busy herbivores are one of the few Appalachian mammals that truly hibernate in the wild. When they hew close to civilization, their legendary underground burrows are deep and wide enough to destroy entire building foundations.
Education manager Emily Walker, who helps handle Greta, revealed the 14-pound woodchuck's true nature to Lauren Stepp in a Bold Life article published last year. "Greta's moody, and she likes to be in charge. She definitely rules the roost." And that includes beating her own odds.

Introduction to Chelation Therapy
Chelation therapy is the process of removing from the body the undesirable ionic material by the infusion, or taking orally, of an organic compound which has suitable chelating properties. The word chelation is derived from the Greek word chele that means claw (like that of a scorpion or crab). The concept of chelation is based on the observation that when a certain amino acid complex called EDTA (ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid) comes in contact with certain positively charged metals and other substances such as lead, iron, copper, calcium, magnesium, zinc, plutonium and manganese, it grabs them (hence the chele or claw), and removes them.
EDTA is a synthetic amino acid first used in the 1940's for treatment of heavy metal poisoning. It is widely recognized as effective for that use as well as certain others, including emergency treatment of hypercalcemia and the control of ventricular arrhythmias associated with digitalis toxicity. Studies by the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council in the late 1960's indicated that EDTA was considered possibly effective in the treatment of occlusive vascular disorders caused by arteriosclerosis. EDTA grabs metallic cation such as Lead or Calcium from the body and forms a stable compound that is then excreted from the system. The stability of this bond is vital to success in chelation therapy. If the bond is weak, other chemicals can break this bond to form their own compounds.
One way to think about the chelation process is to compare it to the way we unclog our drains. We add a chemical to our drain. It dissolves the blockage. The resulting compound is removed from the drain using the existing plumbing system. Chelation process works in a similar manner on our body.
Chelation Process Is Very Common in Nature
Our human digestive process is a very good example of how chelation takes place. Digestion and assimilation of foods involves the chelation of protein substances (amino acids) with minerals for transportation to their destinations, or in which blood cells latch on to, and thus acquire, iron. Hemoglobin is a chelate of iron (as is the enzyme catalase, that is used by our bodies to 'switch off' the free radical activity of hydrogen peroxide). When you eat meat or green vegetables which contain iron, after the digestive process has released the iron from the food in which it is bound, it has to be combined (chelated) with amino acids so that it can be carried through the intestinal mucous membranes into the bloodstream.
If you drink tea with your meal, the tannin in the tea will chelate with the iron (forming insoluble iron tannate) before it gets absorbed. In this case, the body does not get any iron from your food. On the other hand, if we take some foods which are rich in Vitamin C (or take Vitamin C supplement) with our iron rich meal, the ascorbic acid (or Vitamin C) will chelate with the iron and enhance and speed its absorption. The iron, once in the bloodstream, is released from the proteins with which it was chelated for transportation.
What Are The Benefits of Chelation Therapy?
Chelation therapy is widely used for the treatment of atherosclerosis and other chronic degenerative diseases involving the circulatory system. It also has other benefits. Many scientists suggest that the beneficial effect of chelation treatment is from the removal of metallic catalysts that causes excessive free radical proliferation. This reduces the oxidation of lipids, DNA, enzyme systems and lipoproteins. The chelation halts the bad effects and initiates the body's healing process, often reversing the damage. It removes the calcium and copper anions from the blood stream. The plaque lining the artery walls are made porous and brittle. Eventually they may get dislodged. Even if only a microscopic layer of the plaque is removed, it, along with a smoothening of the artery wall due to the healing of the cells that line the arteries, can improve the blood flow to the artery muscles substantially. This can prevent artery spasm and minimize or prevent angina pain. Many patients who could not walk due to muscle pain or angina pain have reported that they can walk without pain after chelation therapy.
We will examine how chelation therapy works.
Reduces Free Radical Activity in The Blood
We can think of our cells in the body as miniature factories. Inside the cell, the digestive process is going on. That means converting the raw materials into energy and protein compounds. Like in a factory, there are mechanisms to transport material within the cell as well as mechanisms to transport material to and from the cell. In our body, these mechanisms are performed by complex enzyme activity.
The skin that surrounds a cell controls what goes in and what goes out of it. (It is like the shipping and receiving department in a factory.) The active cell membrane is made up of lipids (Cholesterol), proteins and water.
As explained in "The Story of Free Radicals" below, free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation (fat becomes rancid). Like in the factory example, if the shipping and receiving department is not functioning properly, it can cause chaos; the whole factory will go out of synch. It does not get raw materials in time or cannot ship out waste products and finished products out. In the body, this is the beginning of the cell degeneration. (In case of factory, it will go out of business.)
This is what happens when atherosclerosis begins in an artery wall. The majority of lipid peroxidation activity involves the presence of metal ions such as iron, copper or calcium. EDTA effectively locks onto these ions, preventing their destructive action. Proponents of Chelation Therapy claim that EDTA can reduce the production of free radicals by up to a million-fold!
Research over the past 30 years has confirmed the benefits of EDTA. This protective influence of EDTA would be enhanced by an appreciable presence of antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E, selenium, and amino acid complexes such as glutathione peroxidase. These not only mop up free radicals but also assist in reinforcing the stability of cell membranes.
The Story of Free Radicals
Free radicals are the highly unstable chemicals that attack, infiltrate, and injure vital cell structures. Most stable chemical compounds in the body possess a pair of electrons. Sometimes, one member of the electron pair gets stripped away. The resulting compound (that is short of one electron) is called a free radical.
In chemistry, the term free radical means that it is now free to combine with another element to form a new stable compound. One way to think of free radical is the way our social system work. In a family there is husband and wife. They are joined together. Both are "tied up" or not available for other partners. Let us assume that they get 'separated'. Now we have two "free" persons who are looking for other partners to partner with. The way free radicals work, one of these free spouse go and break up a stable marriage of another couple, by joining with one of the spouses. This results in the ouster of a person from that family creating a brand new "free radical" who goes around prowling to find another "compound" to attack. You can see that free radicals can do lot of harm by forming a chain reaction.
A similar thing happens with free radicals in the body. When a free radical is born, it goes around the body looking for another compound to steal an electron from. This breaks up the "contented" couple, that results in releasing another free radical, and so on. While on the prowl, these free radicals (which are really the oxidation products from the body) can do tremendous damage to the delicate machinery of your cells. The most studied free radical chain reaction in living things is lipid peroxidation. (The term lipid refers to any fat-soluble substance, animal or vegetable. Peroxidation means the formation of a peroxide molecule. These are the molecules with the greatest proportion of oxygen molecules. For example, a water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Hydrogen peroxide has two Hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms. In other words, there is an excess oxygen atom in a hydrogen peroxide molecule.)
Ninety eight percent of the oxygen we breathe is used by tiny powerhouses within our cells called mitochondria, that convert sugar, fats and inorganic phosphate by combining with oxygen into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal form of energy we need to live. This energy producing activity of the mitochondria involves a series of intricate, complex and vital biochemical processes that depends on vast numbers of enzymes (estimates vary from 500 to 10,000 sets of oxidative enzymes). These, in turn, depends on dozens of nutrient factors and co-factors. In this metabolism process, a very small amount of left over oxygen loses electrons, creating free radicals. These free radicals burn holes in our cellular membranes. Calcium penetrate our cells through these holes. This excess calcium results in cell death. This, in turn, weakens tissues and organs. As this damage continues, our body become "rusty", less able to fight other invaders such as cancer, hardening of the arteries, premature aging, and other bodily disorders.
Because of the amount of oxygen we breathe every day (our bodies take 630 quadrillion damaging oxygen hits per day, each of our cells takes about 10,000 hits per day and each DNA strand in the cell gets hit 5,000 times per day. This free radical bombardment causes a typical human cell to undergo thousands of changes or mutations daily. If a DNA strand gets hit and is not repaired before its twin gets hit, we will have the onset of a potentially lethal cancer.
In addition to the oxygen we breathe, the free radicals can also come from such things as environmental pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, chemicals, and herbicides.
The key to having a healthy body is to repair the damages caused by the free radicals before it is too late, and to protect the body's tissue cells from the free radicals before they cause mutations. Antioxidants are substances that have free-radical chain-reaction-breaking properties. Like a bouncer, the antioxidants deactivate potentially dangerous free radicals before they can damage a cells' machinery. Most of these antioxidants come from plants and are called phytochemicals. More than 60,000 of such plant chemicals are identified. Among the most effective and dedicated antioxidants are Vitamin A, C, and E (known as the ACE trio.). Out of these, Vitamin C is the most powerful.
Each cell produces its own antioxidants. But the ability to produce them decreases as we age. That is why our diet should supply anti-oxidants, phytochemicals ( fruits and vegetables are a good source for this.) and additional vitamins and minerals.
Blocks Calcium Absorption, Repairs Damaged Muscles, Improves the Cell Energy Production
We have seen that calcium passes through the damaged cell walls into the cells. If calcium gets deposited in arterial walls, it inhibits the enzyme activity which, in turn, affects the production of energy, the movement of raw material, finished products, and waste products from the cell. The cells become energy starved and become acidic as a result. This can lead to premature aging, unbalanced calcium/magnesium ratios, free radical activity, local toxicity, oxygen deficit, nutritional imbalance, etc.
The cells that have become energy starved and acidic start to attract calcium ions, drawing them into the cell. This, further, blocks energy production. The result is degenerative cardiovascular conditions. When this happens, the muscles that surround the arteries go into spasm. Doctors start treating this problem with calcium channel blockers. The problem is that calcium channel blockers block the calcium intake by the muscles; but it does nothing to cure the underlying problems of cell damage.
This process gets really out of hand in the presence of additional Vitamin D and cholesterol. Free radicals helps to convert the cholesterol into substances with Vitamin D activity. This produces plaque, which, in turn, attracts calcium cementing the material.
How does EDTA infusion affect this scenario? First, EDTA removes the toxic metal ions such as lead, calcium, mercury, cadmium, copper, iron, and aluminum from the blood stream. These are necessary for the production of free radicals. By removing the extra calcium from the blood stream, there is no more free calcium available to produce plaque. It means that the cells can start to repair themselves. Their production of energy increases. As more and more cells rebuild, our body becomes healthier. They can ward off intruders. The result is that we have started a salvage and regeneration activity that repairs previously damaged muscles and heart. And the whole body benefits as a result.
Reduces Blood Stickiness or Clotting
EDTA is believed to reduce the blood platelet formation. This makes the blood less "sticky. The blood can now flow through narrow arteries. It can flow through even partially blocked arteries minimizing the effect of the blockage.
Normalizes Abnormal Cholesterol and HDL Levels
There are two types of cholesterol: the good cholesterol called HDL and the bad cholesterol called LDL. What we want is a high amount of HDL in our blood along with a low level of LDL. We also desire a low total cholesterol. Researchers have found that EDTA infusion, combined with vitamin and mineral supplements, raised the good (HDL) cholesterol and lowered the bad (LDL) cholesterol. If the HDL was low, it was raised; however, if it was already high, its level remains the same. Similarly, the LDL was lowered if it was high. EDTA optimizes the ratio of HDL and LDL.
Removes Calcium from the Plaque
EDTA infusion removes the calcium from the blood stream. In a chemical reaction, if you have an area low in concentration of a substance surrounded by an area that is rich in that substance, the substance will diffuse from the enriched area to that which is depleted of it ultimately leveling the concentration. The same thing happens to our body. When the blood is cleaned off the calcium, the calcium from the plaque and the body tissues (That is enriched with it) migrate into the blood. This gets swept away by the new EDTA infusion. This has the effect of removing most of the calcium from the plaque, making it softer and possibly even breaking away chunks of it from the artery walls.
Many people are concerned that this calcium intake may come from the bones rather than from the plaque and body tissues. Chelation therapists strongly suggest that this is not so.
Free radicals play an important role in the genesis of cancer. By removing the metallic anions from the blood stream, EDTA helps the cells to remain healthy and helps the damaged cells to heal. Research has shown a decrease in the incidence of death by cancer after EDTA treatment. We don't know the mechanism of action. In some forms of cancer, the use of EDTA was found to strip the tumor cells of their protective coat, allowing other mechanisms (such as protein digesting enzymes) to destroy the tumors.
Researchers have noticed that patients who have undergone chelation treatment are less depressed. They were more alert, and had better concentration and memory. Opponents of chelation therapy dismisses this as "placebo effect."
Chelation therapists attribute this improvement in mental health to an improvement in the overall cellular nutrition as a result of better circulation resulted from the chelation treatment. Another possibility is that by removing the harmful toxins from the blood stream, the brain and central nervous system are protected from harmful effects of these toxins. This improves the overall functioning of the brain that translates into better memory and mental conditions.
Reduction of fatigue in patients who have undergone chelation therapy is another important benefit of chelation therapy. Other improvements are in the reduction of neurological symptoms, cardiovascular symptoms, skin conditions, respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal, genital and urinary symptoms.
It is only fair to say that in some cases, the benefits attributed to EDTA infusion may be from the adaptation of healthy ways of living prompted by the therapists. For example, the therapists ask their patients to quit smoking, lose weight, exercise regularly, take vitamins and mineral supplements, all of which will have a positive effect on the health. What is quite clear, though, is the effect of chelation therapy on the scooping away of toxins and the metal ions from the blood stream and its effect of reducing the free radical formation or damage from it. This has a great effect on many aspects of our life, something both proponents and opponents of chelation treatment agree. More at Holistic Online.

New Restaurant Openings in 2018 in East London
East London is a melting pot of culture and full of new restaurants and cafés that cater for your every want and need. Shoreditch and Hackney cover every cuisine you can think of, but us Londoners love to eat so there is always room for more. We have come up with a breakdown of the most highly-anticipated new restaurants that we can expect to see in East London in 2018.
Where: Redchurch Street
What: Spanish Seafood
Brought to us by ex-Kitty Fisher's head chef, Tomos Parry, Brat is due to have the grand opening this April! There are high hopes for this new Shoreditch seafood hotspot because Parry is joining forces with the guys behind the renowned Thai restaurant Smoking Goat as it will be placed directly above their Shoreditch branch.
Translated in Ol' English as turbot, Brat will be inspired by traditional Basque cuisine with a unique Welsh twist; expect lip-smacking dishes, with the likes of slow-grilled red mullet and cedar-wood smoked trout taking prime position on the menu.
We are counting down the days until we can smell the alluring aroma of smoked seafood because Tomos Parry is the chef that everyone should be keeping an eye on.
Mamarosa
Where: Shoreditch Village
What: Mediterranean Fusion
Mamarosa originally made its name in Barcelona, where it is a renowned hotspot for some of the best food in the city. But, in the spring/summer of this year we are expecting to see its British counterpart introduced to the streets of Shoreditch. Even though there will be no sand or sea in sight, the food will make up for it, plus it is expected to be the place to go for celeb spotting.
If the Barcelonan menu is anything to go by, I already want to get in line; Salmon Tartar with Strawberry and Pistachio Cream and Grilled Octopus with Hummus and Chorizo, excuse me while I control my drool.
The owner of Mamarosa, Francesco Labriola, is over the moon about this East London opening and believes that it will be the first step in his global expansion of this Mediterranean sensation.
Mare Street Market
Where: London Fields
What: Californian-Mediterranean Cuisine
Known for appearing as a TV chef on Channel 4, Gizzi Erskine is spreading her wings and launching her own restaurant in London Fields' Mare Street. It is safe to say that Erskine has set herself up for high expectations, claiming that 'there is nothing like it in the London, or in the world!'
Erskine knows want the people of Hackney want, having been a resident there for the past 16 years: 'There are a lot of creatives who have grown up in Hackney and want something a little bit more elegant now.' Gourmet elegance is exactly what to expect from Mare Street Market, with everything from a raw bar to a custom-made menu for eggs at brunch time, this new offering is bound to reel in the crowds.

As God would have it, William left Guyana in 1965, married the love of his life, Dorrie October (nee Griffith) and settled in Brooklyn, New York. William left New York for awhile to continue his education at Balham & Tooting College of Commerce in London, England. He returned from London, attended Baruch College in Manhattan and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Business. After graduation William worked as a Controller for Laventhol & Horeath in New York. In 1974, Screen Gems-Columbia Music,INC hired William as an Operating Accountant. In the 80's William worked for companies such as CBS Music Publishing, Cherry Lane Music Company, The Harry Fox Agency Managing Royalties and accountant duties. In 1990 William and Dorrie moved from New York to Sarasota. While in Florida he landed a job at Tournament Players Club at Prestancia in Sarasota overseeing the accounting department. He also joined Senior Friendship Center in 1998 were he held the position of Assistant Nutrition Coordinator. William was active in his community by sharing the gospel and serving others. He was a team member of Kairos prison ministry, assisted with meals on wheels, led Cursillo workshops and volunteered at Manor Care and also at Salvation Army. In addition he was also an active member of the Church of the Holy Spirit. His passion for serving the Lord was shown to all. Singing spiritual songs in his Tenor tone and playing the harmonica encouraged everyone who listened. Sharing Scriptures and serving brought Bill great joy. William was defined as a "Gentleman" and an articulate man. He would garden and cut "October Roses" for anyone he came into contact with. He shared his wisdom, and generosity without limit to all. William usually had an interesting story to tell, a clever joke to share, and displayed his fancy footwork by dancing a jig. Anniversaries, Birthdays, graduations, births and "just because" were appropriate for receiving a blessed handwritten card from William. Upon his retirement he enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, seduko,crossword puzzles, and spending time with his adult children and grandchildren. In April 2020 William was diagnosed with Chronic heart failure. His desire was to "go home so he can go home". On July 6,2020 he went home. William leaves behind Dorrie his loving wife of 55 years; his sister Claudette Cox, his daughter Roxanne Gleave, his daughter Michelle Obateru, his son Ian October, son-in-law David Gleave, son-in-law Femi Obateru, daughter-in-law Myrtle October, niece Renee Cox-Jenkins ,7 Grandchildren Stewart, Johnathan, Rebecca Gleave; Olu and Ife Obateru, Ethan and Ahron October; and many close relatives, extended family members and friends.
