John of Sahagún, OESA (), (c. 1430 – 11 June 1479) was a Spanish Augustinian friar and priest. He was a leading preacher of his day, and was known as a peacemaker and reconciler of enemies among the nobles and factions of Salamanca. He was declared a saint by the Catholic Church in 1690 by Pope Alexander VIII.

Life
John was born in the year 1419, at Sahagún (or San Facondo) in the Province of Leon. He was the oldest of the seven children of Juan González del Castrillo and Sancha Martínez,  a wealthy family of the city.

González received his early education from the monks of the Royal Monastery of St. Benedict in his native city, a leading religious and educational center in the region known as the Cluny of Spain. He received the tonsure while still a youth, according to the custom of the times, after which his father procured for him the benefice of the neighboring parish of Tornillo. He was later introduced to Alfonso de Cartagena, the Bishop of Burgos (1435–1456), who was impressed by the bright, high-spirited boy. Cartagena had him educated at his own residence, gave him several prebends, ordained him a priest in the year 1445, and made him a canon at the Cathedral of Burgos.

Possessing all of these offices simultaneously caused González many qualms of conscience, as it was contrary to Church law. He soon resigned all, retaining only that of the Chapel of St. Agatha in a poor neighborhood of the city, where he said Mass, and preached the faith to the poor. He then began to lead a life of strict poverty and mortification.

Preacher
When his bishop died in 1456, John resigned as chaplain to pursue further studies at the University of Salamanca, where for four years he applied himself to the study of theology and canon law, earning degrees in both. During this time he exercised the ministry at the chapel of the College of St. Bartholomew (in the Parish of St Sebastian), and held that position for nine years. As preacher, he drew large crowds; the Duke of Alba complained when John denounced not only the sins of common people, but also those of the nobility. He devoted himself to pastoral care. Owing to illness, he was obliged to undergo an operation for the removal of kidney stones. He vowed that if his life were spared, he would become a Religious.

Friar

Upon his recovery in the year 1463, González applied for admission to the Order of Hermits of St. Augustine, at the Monastery of St. Peter, from that point on, being known simply as Brother (or Friar) John. In the following year, on August 28, 1464, John made his profession of solemn vows as a member of the Order. By the command of his superiors, John gave himself wholeheartedly to preaching. In his sermons, John did not hesitate to publicly criticize the abuses of the powerful and the frequent public scandals of the upper classes. He soon made many enemies. Some women of Salamanca, embittered by the saint's strong sermon against extravagance in dress, openly insulted him in the streets and pelted him with stones until stopped by a patrol of guards.

John was appointed master of novices, and later in the year 1471, prior of the community. He conducted the Religious under his rule more by example than by his words. He also served as delegate to various provincial chapters.

John had a particular devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He was gifted with the ability to read the secrets of conscience, so that it was not easy to deceive him. Because of his reputation, he was often approached to reconcile rival groups and restore peace to the city. He was also respected as a defender of the rights of workers and the common folk.

By mid-1479 John's health began to fail and it was rumored in the city that he had been poisoned by a woman in retaliation for his condemnation of the immoral lifestyle of a public figure. True or not, John died at the monastery on 11 June 1479. His remains were buried in the Old Cathedral, Salamanca.

Veneration
Soon after John's death, his cult spread throughout Spain. The process of beatification began in 1525 under Pope Clement VII, and in 1601 he was declared "Blessed" by Pope Clement VIII in 1601.

New miracles were said to have been wrought through his intercession, and on 16 October 1690 Pope Alexander VIII canonized him. In 1729 Pope Benedict XIII inscribed his liturgical feast day in the Roman Calendar for 12 June, since 11 June, the anniversary of his death was occupied by the feast of Saint Barnabas. In the 1969 revision of the Roman liturgical celebration was left to local calendars because of the limited importance attributed to him on a universal level. In the Roman Martyrology, the official list of saints of the Catholic Church, his feast day is 11 June.

John's life written by John of Seville towards the end of the fifteenth century with additions in 1605 and 1619, is the one used by the Bollandists in "Acta SS.", June, III, 112.

In art, John is represented holding a chalice and host surrounded by rays of light.

Article from BTNews 3 FEBRUARY 2020
ON TOUR: Glasgow Airport
As we start the new decade, Glasgow Airport sees growth ahead with major events in the city, Emirates increasing capacity, easyJet introducing Pula, Barcelona and Dalman, TUI expanding through the winter and Lufthansa going double-daily to Frankfurt.
These new destinations will help the airport to recover from the loss of Thomas Cook Airlines with the shortfall also expected to be picked up by other operators typified by Jet2, which has increased capacity for the winter.
People still want to go on holiday.
The best news for the airport, however, is Emirates' decision to bring in the iconic Airbus A380 daily to Dubai from the end of March, replacing one of the existing Boeing B777 operations.
Airport managing directir Mark Johnston said: "Emirates' decision to operate a year-round daily service using the Airbus A380 is tremendous news and underlines the airline's continued commitment to Glasgow Airport and its passengers.
"We invested significantly in our international pier infrastructure to improve vastly the experience for our long-haul carriers and passengers last year. This included building Scotland's first and only triple airbridge, which not only supports a wide range of aircraft types but is perfect for servicing the A380".
With 30 airlines serving more than 120 destinations worldwide including Canada, the US, the Caribbean, Europe and the Gulf, Glasgow Airport is Scotland's principal long-haul airport. Ownership is vested in AGS, a partnership between Ferrovial and the Macquarie Infrastructure Real Assets (MIRA) operation. AGS also operates Aberdeen and Southampton airports.
Glasgow Airport's record throughput was in 2017 with 9.9m passengers. When officially announced, the 2019 figure is expected to be 8.9m.
Hampden Park is a venue for FIFA Euro 2020 and good news for the airport. Another event for this year will certainly put Glasgow on the world map. Between 9 - 20 November, Glasgow's Scottish Event Campus (SEC) will host the 26th UN Climate Change Summit (COP26), expected to attract more than 30,000 delegates and many world leaders. This main venue is just across the Clyde, less than 15min from the airport.
Secretary of state for Scotland Alister Jack said: "The UK government is showing great leadership on this vital issue – becoming the first major economy to pass new laws to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050."
The event is very good news for Scotland and its tourism at a time of the year when the numbers are usually down. Preparations for the event will also help to boost numbers over the coming months.
Glasgow Airport has now added a further executive suite, the Lomond Lounge, available to all travellers and offering a full dining facility at a charge of £40 (£15 for Priority Pass customers). This supplements the successful Aspire Upper Deck lounge and those offered by British Airways and Emirates. Included are some fine Scotch whiskies.
Customers can choose from a range of freshly-prepared dishes from the breakfast and lunch/dinner menus, whether eggs Benedict or an American pancake stack ahead of the morning business commute. There is Lomond beef or vegan burgers for lunch, or even a stone-baked pizza with Ayrshire ham or fish with triple-cooked chips with minted mushy peas for an evening meal before heading off on holiday. There is a good selection of lighter dishes too.
The lounge has a prime location in the departures area with views of both the airfield and the stunning backdrop of the Campsie Fells. The airport says that the look and feel of the 4,500sq ft facility has been inspired by the neighbouring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and features a mix of table service for à la carte dining and more relaxed seating areas where passengers can unwind in comfort and enjoy snacks or drinks before their flights.
The lounge includes a business suite area and features charging outlets, high-speed wi-fi, flight information displays, complimentary national newspapers and glossy magazines.
No long walks at this airport and the airside shopping facilities are as good as any, with a Scottish tweak. There is a Glasgow Celtic shop, but nothing from Rangers.
What happens with duty free post-Brexit we are not sure. The words are an anomaly. You pay duty travelling to EU countries (the Channel Islands are not part of the EU). Nothing is likely change for the time being.
As a final note, the airport has one of the best (and easiest to use) websites.
Please read in conjunction with BTN 20 January London to Glasgow (or vice versa).

What Causes Tomato Blossoms to Dry & Fall off Without Setting Fruit?
You can gently shake indoor tomatoes to ensure their blossoms set fruit.
2 What Causes Tomato Plants Flowers to Die & Not Produce Fruit?
4 Do the Yellow Flowers on Tomato Plants Turn Into Tomatoes?
Tomato blossoms are sensitive to the conditions in their surrounding environment. Tomato blossoms can drop from your plants without developing fruit if they are not fertilized properly or if they are exposed to unusually high or low temperatures or humidity levels. However, tomato blossoms can also drop from your tomato fruit if they are properly fertilized. Tomato blossoms can fertilize themselves but need assistance with transferring pollen between the male and female organs contained in each flower.
High temperatures during the summer are a common cause of dropping tomato blossoms. Tomato blossoms often drop from the vine without setting fruit when the temperature during the day exceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit for several consecutive days. During the spring and fall cool nights with temperatures below 55 degrees Fahrenheit can also cause your blossoms to drop. Low temperatures prevent your tomato blossoms from developing properly and may cause them to produce sterile pollen. High temperatures can cause defects in tomato blossom pollen that prevent it from becoming fertilized and producing a fruit. The unfertilized blossoms eventually dry up and drop from the vine.
Extremely dry or humid air can interfere with the fertilization of your tomato blossoms. Tomato blossoms that are exposed to dry or humid air with a relative humidity below 40 percent or above 70 percent may not fertilize properly. Dry air causes pollen to stick to the stigma of the blossoms while humid air causes pollen to clump. In both cases the pollen can not properly fertilize the blossom, which causes it to dry up and drop from the plant.
Overfertilizing your tomato plants with nitrogen can lead to blossom drop. Applying nitrogen to your tomato plants causes their stems and leaves to grow at the expense of flowers and fruit. Tomato plants that are overfertilized with nitrogen often have thin, elongated stems that are poorly suited to supporting the weight of tomatoes.
Tomato plants that initially produce a bountiful volume of blossoms may not have enough nutrients to support all of the blossoms and the fruit they produce. In this case some of the blossoms can drop from the vine in order to conserve nutrients needed to maintain the rest of the plant and its remaining blossoms.
Tomato plants have extensive root systems that are sensitive to dry growing conditions. Allowing the soil around your tomatoes to dry out can cause their blossoms to dry out and drop from the vine before they can produce fruit. The roots of tomato plants have a deep growth habit that can reach 3 to 5 feet. Uniformly watering your tomatoes so that the soil around the plant is uniformly moist to a depth of several feet helps promote a healthy root system and ensures that your plant has the moisture it needs to successfully set fruit.

Aethelflaed died and Mercia was given to her brother Edward of Wessex. Danes in Leicester surrendered and the Danes who ruled York submitted to Mercia.
Ragnall had previously driven Ealdred out of Bamburgh. He had allied with Constantine II of Scotland to try to defeat Ragnall and re-take Northumbria. At the battle of Corbridge the Vikings divided their troops into four. Three groups met the Scots while one remained hidden. The Scots made ground against the three groups of Vikings but were then surprised by the fourth hidden group. The Scots managed to retreat. Ragnall a viking from Dublin marched to York and defeated the Scots and the Northumbrians. Ragnall annexed the Earldom of Northumbria and sacked Dunblane.
Sigtryg Gale used Dublin as a base and plundered the coastal area of Southern England.
Dublin viking Raiders attacked Anglesey. But for reasons unknown, the vikings ceased raids on Anglesea and Wales, perhaps due in part to the unified military response to raids organized by Hywel, who had consolidated much of the northern and southern portions of Wales under his rule, and established diplomatic relations with the English which allowed Wales and England to support one another against the Scandinavian onslaught.
Isle of Man was probably attacked by the Dublin vikings.


Four months after a waiting list scandal forced the Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki to resign, I asked the new VA Secretary, Robert McDonald, if he thought the VA had enough money in the budget to procure a new commercial scheduling system to ensure that veterans could get the care they needed, when they needed.
Eighteen months and $11.8 million later, VA's resolve is wavering. VA chief information officer LaVerne Council and Veterans Health Administration Under Secretary for Health, David Shulkin, told Congress Thursday that they are now unsure how or if they will proceed with the $624 million Medical Appointment Scheduling System (MASS) contract awarded last year.
Instead of moving out aggressively on a commercial system with a proven track record, Shulkin and Council did the unthinkable: They decided to develop their own in-house upgrade to the scheduling module of VA's main electronic health system, known as VistA. That's right—even after a major scandal involving deliberate manipulation of the scheduling system that led to the deaths of veterans, VA thought it was appropriate to tackle the development themselves.
VA is testing an intermediate VistA Scheduling Enhancement tool at two medical facilities. If the employees like it, VA will continue with the deployment.
As a veteran, such inept decision-making is infuriating. But what makes the situation worse is the fact that these decisions are being made because of money—the money that McDonald told me in 2014 was already in the budget for a new commercial system.
Shulkin and Council may not have ruled out a commercial replacement system through MASS, but that doesn't explain what he said next about VA's plans for the VistA Evolution pilot testing that is underway.
To his credit, Shulkin got one thing right when he acknowledged "we still have an access crisis" at the VA. Yes, something has to be done to improve the situation in the near term, and VSE is an important part of that. But to consider not moving forward with MASS—a comprehensive commercial health management system awarded under a competitive bidding process—is tantamount to reneging on the promise made to veterans that the scheduling and access problems will be fixed.
McDonald brought Shulkin and Council (who worked for McDonald at Johnson & Johnson) to the VA to inject new thinking into the bureaucracy. But they have failed. The VA is a bureaucracy with a culture beyond repair. The wounds of the scheduling scandal are not even close to being healed and VA's leaders have handed the task of modernizing that system right back to the people who created it.

Crystal Castles at Varsity Theater, Minneapolis (30 Sep 2016)
Crystal Castles Setlist
intro music: Requiem in D Minor (Mozart)
Celestica
Untrust Us
Not In Love (Platinum Blonde cover)
-- Encore --
Cult-like gothy electro duo Crystal Castles is back in Minneapolis, this time touring in support of their new 2016 album Amnesty (I) (Casablanca Records). The last time they were in town .....
Toronto's Crystal Castles recently sold out the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis on Friday night, September 30th. The duo (songwriter/producer Ethan Kath and Edith Frances) is on tour in support of Amnesty (I) (Casablanca Records).
Aaron Rice
Starting the show was local DJ Aaron Rice (not to be confused with Grammy Nominated Songwriter and Producer Aaron Rice). His present was a surprise, because he wasn't actually listed on the venue's website.
If you're not familiar with Aaron Rice, he's the frontman for Aaron and the Sea, but at this show he is basically solo as a DJ and his light-up/colorful booth.
I was told that he actually started playing a little after doors at the Varsity Theater opened, clocking over 45 minutes of his music. This is much longer than the other opening band The Guidance.
In stark contrast, while Rice's set was chilled, downbeat and extended, Los Angeles' The Guidance (not to be confused with London's Guidance or the Guidance Band) featured a high-energy tour de force performance in a very brief span of time.
Singer Stefan Pruett, wearing a "Reckless" beanie, never stopped jumping, dancing, and singing. Pruett was also rarely on stage, preferring to sing in the audience or body surf, etc. He also knew how to command and work the crowd, and, with that interaction, they were really into whatever the Guidance was doing.
Pruett was joined on stage with a live drummer and a producer/audio in the background. Their 20-min set included so-called "Future Grunge" music like 'I Am Perfect' and their set closer 'Carefree' (a "slow song" according to Pruett).
We caught Crystal Castles a few years ago and can only describe their shows as a bit chaotic and unconventional. If you've never seen Crystal Castles, you should expect 99% strobe lights! The other thing to note is half the fun is actually watching the audience! Some are raver kids (complete with neon lights), some are dressed up in costumes (yes, a typical Crystal Castles' night), but everyone is there to dance and have a good time.
As you can see from their setlist, about half was taken from their latest Amnesty (I), including 'Concrete', 'Char', 'Enth', 'Fleece', and 'Femen'. They ended their set with the Platinum Blonde's 'Not In Love', which may have been made famous in 2010 as it featured The Cure's Robert Smith on vocals.

Minneapolis: September 30, 2016
Here are some shows taking place in the Minneapolis/St Paul area on September 30, 2016.
If you're heading out to see Crystal Castles at First Avenue on November 1st, I can tell you that one of the opening bands is called Kontravoid. .....

varsitytheater.org
Cult-like gothy electro duo Crystal Castles is back in Minneapolis, this time touring in support of their new 2016 album Amnesty (I) (Casablanca Records). The last time they were in town, it was November 2012 at First Avenue. The Toronto-based duo (Ethan Kath and Edith Frances) is known for their energetic, often chaotic live shows.
UPDATE: The Guidance (AKA Stefan Pruett) will be opening the show. He is a friend of the band and was personally invited to come tour with Crystal Castles on this 2016 tour.
The Guidance's music is self-described as "Future Grunge" (electronic synth sounds, driving beats, and dance elements representing the aesthetic and energy of '90s grunge - all sequenced digitally instead of live instrumentation).
As with previous Crystal Castles shows, perhaps The Guidance will also help with the rhythm section for their show...

Yorkshire 'feel good' food and drink brand Filmore & Union to open in John Lewis Nottingham
Healthy food and wellness eatery, Filmore & Union is to expand its 16 strong chain with a restaurant in Nottingham city centre later this month.
On Tuesday 27th March 2018, the company will take up residency on the first floor of John Lewis Nottingham. With 60 covers and open for breakfast, coffee and cake and lunch, this will be the third within a John Lewis store following the opening of the John Lewis York restaurant in June 2017 and the John Lewis Newcastle restaurant in February 2018.
Filmore & Union was born from founder Adele Ashley's frustrations at the lack of healthy restaurants take out delis across Yorkshire and the North East and, after finding the perfect test kitchen in Wetherby the family were sampling new recipes by October the same year.
The name Filmore & Union originates from the family's time in San Fran as 'Fillmore' and 'Union' are their two favourite streets.
The new John Lewis Nottingham store will be the first to open in the Midlands. John Lewis look forward to offering the brand's wellness-inspired juices, organic coffees, healthy breakfasts, gluten free cakes, salads, wraps, bagels signature soups and tagines as well as prosecco and beer to its shoppers and diners in the city.
Ashley says: "After spending the last six years establishing ourselves in Yorkshire and the North East as the 'go to' destination for healthy, wholesome, delicious food that doesn't exclude anyone with special dietary requirements, we're now looking for unsung foodie capitals across the UK to bring our 'feel good' brand to. Nottingham and the East Midlands in general was the next obvious move for us. The region's independent food and drink scene is seriously on the up and we want to be part of it! Our aim is to build a nationwide chain which retains its independent feel with each restaurant having a strong local supply chain, embedded into its local community. Our chilled out, relaxed atmosphere with premium, cosy interiors and high quality food fits perfectly within the John Lewis brand and we can't wait to see what new local customers think."
Lewis Evenden Head of Branch at John Lewis Nottingham, adds: "We're delighted to welcome Filmore & Union into our shop and to be part of their expansion. We are sure our customers in Nottingham will love their fresh and wholesome food and we are delighted to be the first place in our region to serve it."
Filmore & Union is accredited by Coeliac UK and have received a commendation from the Free From awards for their dedication and passion to catering for those avoiding gluten and dairy. It was also shortlisted in the Menu Innovation category of the Casual Dining Awards 2018 and has been named in the Sunday Times Top 3 Healthy Eateries and the Top 50 Northern Restaurants and Bars.

Second air raid launched at Terror FDL
Three LTTE suspects gunned down
Policeman helping LTTE bomber arrested
Govt. Schools closed tomorrow (11) and on Thursday (12)
The Ministry of Education has announced that all Government schools will be closed tomorrow (11) and the day after (12).
This decision was taken taking into consideration the risks associated with the teacher trade union action scheduled for tomorrow and the day after. Minister of Higher Education, Susil Premajayantha said that schools will be held on two extra dates in lieu of these two holidays in August.
Sri Lanka Air Force launched its second air raid at selected targets on the LTTE forward defence line (FDL) around 3 this evening (June 10). According to Air Force spokesperson Wing Commander Janaka Nanaykkara , the raid was undertaken by fighter jets, following thorough air surveillance.

Latest reports from the East confirm that the body of the remaining LTTE suspects has been found with gunshot injuries. Two LTTE suspects were gunned down during a Police and Army combined cordon and search operations at Pallaikudiruppu in Akkaraipatuwa this morning (June 10). According to the defence sources in the area, an armed group of 3 suspects had lobbed two hand grenade at the Police and Army personnel engaged in the search operation around 7 am.
Labels: army, attack, LTTE, terarist
A special police team arrested a policeman who is said to have had close dealings with the LTTE suspect Jadheesan Balasubramaniam who was arrested on in connection with the bomb blast on the railway line at Dehiwala last week.
The policeman attached to the Wellawatte Police Station is a resident of Kobeigane, in Kurunegala and had very close connections with the LTTE suspect Jadheesan Balasubramaniam, who was arrested by the police at the Irattaperiyakulam in a bus bound for Vavunia last week, Police Headquarters sources said yesterday (9).
The policeman had met Jadheesan very often used his motorcycle.
It has also been revealed that the policeman had visited Bangkok with a friend some weeks back and the police are investigating his movements to ascertain whether his overseas tour had anything to do with terrorist activities.
The special police team questioning the constable at length believes that valuable information could be gathered from the suspect about the activities of the LTTE suspect Jadheesan, who was working as a technician for an air condition equipment company while living at Wattala with his wife, who, too, was arrested.
Police also said that they were also investigating the background of the policeman and whether he had any connections with other covert LTTE operatives in the south.

Meriva® overview
The Life Guardian™
The Industry Reference
Curcuma longa pictures
According to the Framingham Cohort (USA), 25% of people in their 60s and 50% in their 80s show changes in bone health by radiography,[1] and age, female sex, overweight, occupational knee-bending, physical labour, and joint challenges have all been identified as risk factors.
The use of Meriva® for bone health is based on the capacity of this compound to interrupt inflammatory response signaling and increase anti-oxidant levels. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that bone health is better supported by a multi-targeted, rather than by a mono-targeted, approach, and agents that modulate multiple cellular targets, like curcumin, have a great potential for the management of these conditions.
Meriva® and the complementary management of bone and joint health
Meriva® was evaluated for its efficacy in 50 individuals affected by bone health challenge (X-ray diagnosis confirmation).[2] The symptoms were evaluated by the WOMAC score; mobility was studied by walking performance on the treadmill and the overall inflammatory response function was assessed by measurements of C-reactive protein plasma concentration.
The trial was conducted over a three months' period, and the individuals were randomly divided into two groups receiving respectively Meriva® 1 g/die (in two separate administrations) and the "best available treatment", or the "best available treatment" alone, as defined by the individuals' general practitioners or specialists.
The treadmill performance (10% inclination, 3 Km/h speed) showed an improvement of 201% of the initial walked distance at two months, and a further improvement (+44%) at three months from the beginning of the study.
These positive results were complemented by secondary end-points, namely the decrease in supplemental therapy use (63% in the Meriva® group vs 12% in the treatment group) and the decrease in gastrointestinal complications (38% in Meriva® vs 15% in controls (p<0.05).
Overall, the management costs in the Meriva® group decreased by 49% compared to a non significant 3% decrease for the control group.
In a second study,[3] the activity of Meriva® for the maintenance of bone health was further confirmed in a larger and longer (8 months) investigation, that enrolled 100 partecipants and was, otherwise, methodologically similar to the previous one, including the dosage (1 g/day of Meriva®, corresponding to 200 mg curcumin/day in two separate administrations).
The results showed that the Meriva® group enjoyed a statistically significant reduction in all primary clinical endpoints, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score (decreased from 80.6 to 33.2), the Karnofsky Performance Scale (improved from 73.3 to 92.2), and the treadmill walking performance test.
These results were complemented by the evaluation of a series of inflammatory response function markers wider than the one considered in the first study (interleukin [IL]-1b, IL-6, soluble CD40 ligand [sCD40L], soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (sVCAM)-1, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) that also showed a marked reduction in the Meriva® treated group. Conversely, no significant variation was observed in the "best available treatment" control group.
More recently, in a 4-month observational study on subjects with knee joint challenge,[4] the ones administered with with Meriva®+glucosamine had significantly higher Karnofsky Index and WOMAC score (both in the physical and emotional domains), compared to those administered with the widely used chondroitin+glucosamine association group.
Noteworthy, the walking distance at the treadmill test after 1 month was also significantly higher in the meriva+glucosamine group; this advantage was sustained until the end of the study: this reduction was more evident for patients treated with Meriva®+glucosamine.
Taken together, the results of this study shows that the 4-month administration of the association of Meriva®+glucosamine can result in a faster onset of action and improved outcomes than the administration of an association of chondroitin+glucosamine in subjects with knee joint challenge.
Investigations on wrist joint challenged subjects were also shown good results.[5]
Meriva® and eye challenges
A trial on 106 subjects whose eye middle layer was challenged and relapsing since at least 2 years was carried out.[6] A 1.2 g/day dosage of Meriva® was administered (two separate admin. per day) for at least twelve months, complementing the treatment already in course.
86% of subjects in the Meriva® group enjoyed a subjective improvement of the overall well being after only 4/6 weeks, with a remarkable reduction in challenges. Also the number of subjects with challenges decreased by over 80%. In a recent pilot study, the daily use of 1 g/day of Meriva®, associated with the standard treatment, has shown to ameliorate the visual acuity, supporting healthy vision.[7]
These results qualify Meriva® as a safe ingredient with a strong potential even in poorly vascolarized tissues like the ocular bulb.
The efficacy of Meriva® in addressing common relapsing eye challenges has been evaluated both in a 6[8] & 12-months[9] pilot and follow-up studies.
Being the primary endpoint the change in visual acuity before and after administration with Meriva®, the results of both studies confirmed that Indena's curcumin delivery system is effective in the management of eye challenges.
Meriva® and healthy blood vessel function
In another registry study,[10] 50 subjects prone to blood vessel challenge were treated with Meriva® (1g/day) to evaluate its ability to support healthy blood vessels. Partecipants were divided in two groups.
The first one received Meriva® for 4 weeks while the second group was used as a control. The presence and evolution of endothelial challenge was measured instrumentally (laser doppler flowmetry, pO2 ) and observationally (evaluation of the foot), after 4 weeks of treatment, the Meriva® group showed an amelioration of all the parameters investigated, as well as a general amelioration of the quality of life, as measured by the Karnofsky scale.
Furthermore, in a previous reported pilot study[7], 38 subjects prone to blood vessel challenge were administered with 1 g/day of Meriva (in addition to the standard management plan) for at least 4 weeks.
Compared to the control group (n=39), following the standard management plan alone, the Meriva® group showed a statistically significant improvement in the vessel response (p<0.05) and the decrease in the score of the peripheral vessel challenge (p<0.05).
Meriva® and the natural inflammation response function in vivo and in humans
In a study on mares and foals,[11] Meriva® was able to downregulate the expression of a series of cytokines, enzymes and transcription factors involved in the natural inflammation response.
Meriva® was administered for 15 days, and gene expression was compared with the initial state at days 4, 8 and 15 from the beginning of the treatment. In mares, curcumin inhibited the expression of COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-1RN and IL-6, with special significance being observed for IL-1β and IL-6.
In foals, curcumin significantly inhibited the expression of COX-2, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL1RN and IL-6. In a recent genomic study[12] on dogs, the differential modulation of inflammation response markers by Meriva® and another agent was investigated. Meriva® (40 mg/Kg/day, corresponding to 8 mg/Kg/day of curcumin) or another agent (4 mg/Kg/day) were administered to two groups of 6 JC dogs for 20 days.
Gene expression was compared with a control group of 6 dogs at the beginning (T0) and at the end of the study (T20). At the beginning of the study, the two experimental groups of dogs showed the differential expression of 475 (other agent arm) and 498 (Meriva® arm) genes compared to the control group. These genes could be broadly defined as pro-inflammatory response markers.
Both curcumin and the other agent could significantly attenuate the expression of this genomic signature, since at the end of the study only 173- (other agent arm) and 141 (Meriva® arm) genes were differentially expressed compared to the control group.
From a genomic standpoint, Meriva® outperformed the other agent, since important genes underlying the production of iκB and IL18 were modulated only by Meriva®. Compared to the other agent, Meriva® could downregulate the inflammatory response pathway mediated by TNFα, macrophage proliferation and fibrinolysis.
Taken together, these provide a genomic rationale for the use of Meriva® for the complementary support of joint health, an indication validated by human clinical studies.
A recent registry study[13] on 61 subjects evaluated Meriva® efficacy in supporting healthy prostate function compared to the best standard management (BSM) available. Signs and symptoms were evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS).
A first group of 33 subjects were administered with BSM in association with Meriva® at the dosage of 500 mg/day for at least 24 weeks, while the remaining 28 volunteers (control group) were administered with only BSM. All IPSS scores and quality of life improved in both groups, while in the Meriva® arm were significantly better than in the BSM-only group (p<0.05 for IPSS and p<0.01 for quality of life).
All these results underline the nutritional potential of curcumin as a natural ingredient to support the body's inflammation response function.
Meriva® and sports nutrition
In a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blinded study,[14] 20 healthy and moderately active subjects received 1g Meriva® or a placebo twice daily, 48 hours prior to a downhill running test, the day of the test, and 24 hours after the test, for an overall 4 day treatment.
The end point was the evaluation of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), that is the muscular discomfort and stiffness that develops after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise, with soreness being felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise.
Muscle soreness was quantified by magnetic resonance imaging, laboratory tests, and histologic analyses on muscle samples obtained 48 hours after the test. The intensity of discomfort was also evaluated.
Partecipants were asked to indicate the location of pain on a drawing representing the lower limbs, and to rank pain intensity on a 0-4 point scale, where 0=no pain, 4=disabling pain when descending or climbing stairs.
The observation from the study suggests that curcumin as Meriva® can be beneficial to attenuate exercise-induced DOMS, and larger studies could provide statistical significance also for parameters like the histological evaluation of muscle that only showed a trend to improvement in this pilot study.
In a randomized, double-blind, cross-over 3 arms controlled (supplement, placebo, control) study,[15] 11 male recreational athletes consuming a low carbohydrate diet of 2.3 ± 0.2 g/kg/day underwent three double blind trials with curcumin supplementation, placebo supplementation, and no supplementation (control) to observe the response of serum interleukins (IL-6, IL1-RA, IL-10), cortisol, c-reactive protein (CRP), and subjective assessment of training stress after a challenge.
The results shown that Meriva® at 500 mg/die is safe, is not doping, leads to measurable plasma concentrations in line with the published results, decreases the subjective perception of stress associated to exercise, and tends to decrease the production of IL-6, a marker of muscle fatigue associated to intense physical activity.
In a registry, supplement study,[16] 86 healthy subjects >65 years old with apparent loss of strength and tiredness freely decided to start one of the following interventions: (1) standard management (exercise, balanced diet including proteins) (n = 33); (2) standard management+ Meriva® one tablet/day (n = 31); (3) standard management + Meriva® one tablet/day + other supplementation (n = 22).
A number of functional and biochemical parameters were evaluated at baseline and after three months (hand grip, weight lifting, time/distance before feeling tired after cycling, walking and climbing stairs; general fitness, proteinuria, oxidative stress, Karnofsky scale; left ventricular ejection fraction).
Significant improvements in all parameters, with respect to baseline values, were observed in the two supplementation groups (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). On the other hand, no improvement was observed in the standard management-only group.
At three months, intergroup comparison revealed a statistical advantage in all parameters for both supplementation groups compared with the standard management-only group (p < 0.05 for all comparisons).
The study showed that the addition of Meriva® – either or not combined with other nutritional supplements – to standardized diet and exercise plan contributesto improve strenght and physical performance in elderly subjects.
Meriva® and skin challenges
In a single-dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study,[17] 63 subjects with mild-to-moderate Psoriasis vulgaris (PASI <10) were randomly divided into two groups treated with topical steroids and orally with Meriva®, or with topical steroids alone, both for 12 weeks.
Researchers measured the quality of life and health benefits and the effects of the treatment on the serum levels of IL-17 and IL-22 that are thought to play a major role in this disorder.
Data from the study demonstrated that Meriva® may be regarded as a safe and well-tolerated supplementation for the complementary support to subjects treated with topical steroids.
Among the several biological effects of curcumin, the ability to downregulate the T cell-mediated process, and in particular the Th22 pathway, may be considered one of the major mechanisms by which Meriva® supports skin dysfunction recovery.

Gone Medieval Delves Into Two Historical Stories With Modern Appeal
Carly Clark
In upcoming episodes of History Hit's 'Gone Medieval' podcast, historian Matt Lewis and archaeologist Cat Jarman delve into two stories from the Middle Ages that have piqued public interest in much more recent times.
First of all, in an episode set for release on Saturday 13 November, Matt talks to Buffy Bailey, an NHS nurse from Lancaster who was metal detecting in farmland near Sheriff Hutton Castle in North Yorkshire with her husband Ian when she discovered a solid gold book. Incredibly, the pair didn't appreciate the area's significance until they arrived at the site of the accommodation they happened to find available on a farmer's field.
Dated between 1280 and 1410, we hear how the piece is thought to be far too valuable an item to have simply been lost, so its owner may have intentionally buried it as an act of religious worship or to show gratitude for childbirth.
In an episode planned for Tuesday 16 November, we hear about another fascinating item that has spent more than a thousand years buried underground. In it, Cat talks to Prof. Martin Carver, who has directed excavations at Sutton Hoo, and is now heading up the massive project to reconstruct the Sutton Hoo longship, which inspired the recent Netflix film The Dig. Prof. Carver talks passionately about how the ship, the most important machine in the lives of the people alive at the time, represents a type of evidence about the period that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Matthew Lewis is a popular medieval historian and author of various historical fiction and non-fiction books. Lewis has a passion for the Wars of the Roses, especially the reigns of Richard III and the Tudors.
Dr Cat Jarman is a bioarchaeologist and field archaeologist specialising in the Viking Age. She is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and author of the Sunday Times bestseller River Kings – Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his speech): "Listening to Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air!"
Jon Stewart (in The Daily Show): "I guess if you come from the land of Hitler's birth, Nixon might seem like a breath of fresh air..."
Paul Krugman: "Why are the Republicans so angry? One reason is that they have nothing positive to run on (during the first three days, Mr. Bush was mentioned far less often than John Kerry). The promised economic boom hasn't materialized, Iraq is a bloody quagmire, and Osama bin Laden has gone from 'dead-or-alive' to he-who-must-not-be-named. Another reason, I'm sure, is a guilty conscience. At some level the people at that convention know that their designated hero is a man who never in his life took a risk or made a sacrifice for his country, and that they are impugning the patriotism of men who have."
Ah, that wacky electoral vote... don't you just wish the 2004 presidential campaign could go on forever?
Just wanted to add that I thought the official Austrian reaction (state secretary Ernst Strasser, conservative) on Schwarzenegger's speech for Bush was hilarious: "Learn history!" - and it was said in an informal way that almost sounded like "learn history, boy". Lots of people reacted on Schwarzenegger's picture he drew about Austria, which is total crap.
Schwarzenegger meant with "breathing fresh air" when he heard Nixon, that he just could escape the socialist Austria with it's Soviet tanks, right? And he felt free and home right away when he heard Nixon.
first of all, 1945 - 1955 Austria is occupied after WWII by all 4 allies; the US (Salzburg, southern side of the Danube in upper austria), the Brits (east tirl, carinthia, STYRIA), the French (west of austria) and the Russian (upper austria north of the Danube, lower austria and the burgenland) each had their section. Vienna was split among all 4 allies. which means that where Schwarzenegger grew up (styria), there were first of all the BRITS and not the Soviets.
secondly, Schwarzenegger left Austria in 1968, which is 13 years after the last soviet and other foreign tank had left Austria.
thirdly, Schwarzenegger claimed that what made him leave austria was the socialist regime (don't know how he said it exactly - please correct me). after WWII (after 1945) until Schwarzenegger had left Austria, there were ONLY conservative chancellors and in Austria, the strongest party has the chancellor (head of the government; our president is only representative). so: no socialist politics Schwarzenegger would have had to flee from.
1) and no, he did not lie *stomps* he says. because he can remember when he was a small kid, he drove with his uncle over the Semmering (mountainrange between styria and lower austria, which was back then soviet territory) in an old VW beetle and there he saw one soviet tank. ok. let's not call it a lie, but it obviously was not THAT important for Schwarzenegger to go to the US because of it, because he only went some 15-20 years later.
2) confronted with the fact that there has not been any social-democratic government in Austria until the time he had left Austria, but yet he fled from a socialist regime, Schwarzenegger answered the following: he did not mean any party, when he spoke about "socialist", but the political climate. doh!?!?!?! huh?!?!?!? what now?
i am no patriot and i am happy for everyone who is happy whereever he/she is. i disagree with arnie in many points politically, and i am critical on Austria as well.
but what Schwarzenegger has done here, was a totally creepy job for bush to fish for the immigrants. and i think it is utterly embarassing how Schwarzenegger (or whoever wrote this idiotic speech) twist the truth in a totally ridiculous way (ok: HE LIED!), in order to take the piss out of their voters and catch people on the emotional level, because obviously they kinda lack the FACTS to argue and pursuede.
babbling on, like a brook.
at all the babble in my book.
never making a single cent.
because of all the time that I have spent.
but where are they all comming from?
But those are the words that decided to come.

David G. Lefer is an American professor, journalist and author, who holds the post of Industry Professor at New York University's Polytechnic Institute, where he directs the Innovation and Technology Forum.

A 1994 honors graduate of Harvard College, Lefer obtained a master's degree in 1995 from Columbia University's School of Journalism.

He worked as a journalist for the New York Daily News, Newsday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and The China News in Taiwan. He was also a co-producer of the PBS talk show The Digital Age.
Lefer co-wrote the book They Made America (Little, Brown 2004), with Harold Evans and Gail Buckland.  This history of American innovation was subsequently made into a four-part PBS series, which Lefer helped to produce. Fortune Magazine named the book one of the top 100 business books of the past 75 years, and the Los Angeles Times review praised its educational value, although the New York Times was less complimentary. According to WorldCat, the book is in 1596 libraries.

Lefer is also the author of The Founding Conservatives: How a Group of Unsung Heroes Saved the American Revolution, published by Penguin in June 2013. The book was favorably reviewed in the Washington Times and the National Review, and by The Kirkus Review and Publishers Weekly.

RO technology at the Hadera plant includes sea and brackish water desalination.
The Hadera project is divided into two plants, both of which can be operated independently.
The plant is located on the Mediterranean coast 50km north of Tel Aviv.
Hadera RO Desalination Plant was constructed within the grounds of Rabin Lights power station in Hadera, Israel. The plant is located on the Mediterranean coast 50km north of Tel Aviv.
Initially the plant was designed to produce about 100 million m³ of high-quality potable water per year. In early 2009 plans were made to extend production capacity by another 27 million m³ per year with an investment of €70m. After extension, the plant has become the largest RO-based desalination plant in the world.
The plant extension was completed in May 2010 and will be operated by H2ID, a consortium of IDE Technologies (IDE) and Shikun & Binui Housing and Construction.
H2ID signed the agreement for the extension project on a BOT basis, with a contract for 25 years including the construction period.
During the operation period, water will be supplied to the Israeli Government at $ 0.57/m³. After 25 years the plant will become government property.
In June 2009 Israel's Ministry of Finance signed an agreement regarding financing of the expansion. The financing deals were completed in March 2009. The government awarded the €70m contract to H2ID in July.
Energy Recovery Inc (ERI provided PX-220 pressure exchanger devices that help reduce energy consumption by 60%. The Hadera plant receives electricity directly from Israel Electric Corporation (IEC).
Purpose of project
"In 2009 plans were made to extend production capacity by another 27 million m³ per year."
Israel has experienced water shortages for a long time. The government had approved bills to construct desalination plants such as the Ashkelon facility, which has the capacity to generate 100 million m³ of fresh water a year, the Palmachim facility, which has a production capacity of 30 million m³ a year, and the Ashdod facility, which has a production capacity of an additional 100 million m³, to overcome these problems.
Despite these installations, Israel still needs more potable water. The government therefore passed a bill to increase the output capacities of the above facilities by an additional 75 million m³.
Hadera plant design
The Hadera project is divided into two plants: eastern and western. Both have the same production capacity and can be operated independently. The plant houses pre-treatment and high-pressure pump facilities and an efficient energy recovery system, membrane assembly and post-treatment facilities.
The plant was designed to produce 388,000m³ of drinking water per day, although the production capacity was later extended to 462,000m³ per day to address water shortages.
IDE selected PX Pressure Exchanger devices by ERI, a leader in designing and developing energy recovery devices, for desalination at the plant. The devices are intended to reduce energy consumption in SWRO plants, making the desalination process more cost-effective. They operate at up to 98% efficiency to reduce energy consumption.
"The plant houses pre-treatment facilities and an efficient energy recovery system."
PX devices can also reduce CO² emission by 2.3 million tons per year and are expected to save approximately 60% (700MW) of power consumption at the plant annually, allowing water availablity at lower prices. The devices have the capacity to produce approximately 600,000m³ (158 million gallons) of fresh water per day.
To decrease energy requirements and increase overall efficiency, the plant uses pumping centre, membrane centre and energy recovery centre, and Cascade Boron Treatment technologies.
RO technology at the plant includes sea and brackish water desalination and a design offering simpler operation and maintenance. It can produce water for drinking and industrial purposes.
The first step in desalinating seawater is pre-treatment. This is intended to reduce salt precipitation or microorganism growth in membranes and uses ERI's pressure exchanger technology. Since water from the sea passes through a narrow passage during the RO process, suspended solids are removed.
Pre-treatment is necessary because it reduces fouling, scaling and membrane degradation and modifies product flow, salt rejection and product recovery. It also reduces operating costs through energy recovery devices and extends the life of the RO system.
RO is widely used to convert seawater into potable water. The process involves forcing seawater through a fine-pored membrane using a pressure pump at varying pressures of 67bar to 75bar. External pressure is needed to reverse the flow of water because in regular osmosis water molecules naturally flow from higher concentrations to lower concentrations.
The pressure exchanger is connected to the concentrate stream, which transforms a pressure drop into rotating energy and purifies water by up to 98%.
"H2ID won the bid for the Hadera plant in an open tender from the Israeli Government."
The RO membranes consist of dense barrier layers of polymer matrix, through which most of the separation occurs. Water molecules pass through these pores, while salt and impurities are retained.
The post-treatment process is then applied to desalinated water to adjust the pH level. The pure drinking water is stored in on-site facilities before being distributed.
The Hadera plant was built by H2ID after they won an open tender from the Israeli Government. IDE is known for its high-quality water applications, which are incorporated in about 360 desalinations plants in 40 countries.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) approved €35m ($52m) financing for a €70m ($104m) extension, which represents 50% of the total amount required. The rest of the financing was arranged by French Calyon Corporate and Investment Bank, a specialist in long-term projects, and by Banco Espirito Santo (BES), a Portuguese investment bank.

Great work!! I take it that the second 3 shots are with the DA*300? They are the sharper of the shots.
Fantastic!! I posted some jump pics some days ago, but not with your success. can you post the EXIF, please?
@juan : the exif is in the foto's. if you have tool like photome or opanda you can see it.
@gulfer : yes, the last three were with the DA*300, super lens.
Very nice, last two are my favourites!
