Our brains are very powerful organs. The brain is responsible for regulating our thoughts, behaviors, abilities, and quality of life. As we grow and mature, our experiences, the way we are nurtured by our parents, friends, and teachers, and even the places we live and travel to all ingrain themselves into our being. Every thought you think and feeling you feel strengthens the circuitry in your brain know as neural pathways. Neural pathways are the basis of your habits of thinking, feeling, and acting. They are what you believe to be true and why you do what you do. Neural plasticity is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual's life. You and I have the power inside ourselves to do differently and to think differently through neural plasticity.
Think about this: would you eat something if you knew it contained a substance that was poison to your body? We would say, "of course not, that would be crazy". But many of us do this just about every day. We consume processed foods that contain chemicals and preservatives that were not meant for human consumption. And too much salt and way too much sugar. Yes, all of these things have been "tested" and shown to be "generally recognized as safe" for us to eat. We may not see the bad effects right away after eating these foods, but we do see what they are doing to us as time goes by. We as a culture are obese, diabetic, hypertensive, depressed, sleep-deprived, and anxious. And sometimes we don't know how bad we are truly feeling until we make changes and start to feel more like ourselves again. I remember when my oldest daughter returned from a mission trip to Congo. She came with me to the grocery store. Even though she had been to this store many times, the minute we walked through the doors she said, "Mom, we have so much food!" It's true, here in the U.S. we do have an abundance, for which we should be thankful. But it is up to us to sort through what is REALLY food and good for our bodies and what is junk, poisoning our bodies. How can you form a new neural pathway to good eating? Make up your mind to start now, eating organic, non-GMO, non-processed foods. If you do this and do not stray from your intent, you will form a new neural pathway. You will form a new habit and the more you eat well, the more you will WANT to eat well. You will soon feel the good effects from your new neural pathway!
Have you tried meditation? I wrote an article about this awhile ago, and I intended to start practicing some daily meditation, but I never seemed to be able to make the time to do it. I recently attended a new meditation group. The group leader explained some things of which I was not aware. She said that when you start to meditate and you are focusing on your breath, your body/mind will be bothered about this and you will feel that you need to stop or cannot concentrate. This is the point at which many people discontinue trying to meditate. But, she said that you should push through this and in several more moments this uncomfortable feeling will go away. Also, she said, you will find that your mind will wander and that is normal and OK. Just bring your focus back to the breath. I thought, OK, I will try this again. The leader then said that she was going to set a timer and it would go off in 30 minutes. I wondered if I could really sit there for 30 minutes just concentrating on my breath, but I was not going to give up now. The uncomfortable feeling began soon after I started concentrating on my breathing. I kept going, and the uncomfortable feeling went away. My mind wandered, several times, but each time I went back to my breathing. At some point not long after this, it was like someone had flipped a switch in my brain. I had no sense of time. Before I knew it, the timer was going off. I could not believe that 30 minutes had passed. I felt calm and serene, and I had a sense that everything was as it should be. I had started to form a new neural pathway in my brain. I found that I wanted to return to this place again and again.
When you form a new neural pathway, it is like when you ride a bike or walk repeatedly over the same patch of grass, forming a visible path that is worn down. You can do this for your feelings. If you focus on stress with your thoughts and feelings, you strengthen stress pathways. But if you focus on happiness with your thoughts and feelings, you strengthen happiness pathways. When you engage in practices that increase feelings of happiness, you increase activity in your brain's left prefrontal cortex. As you continue to feel happy, you strengthen this activity and solidify brain pathways that make it easier to replicate feelings of happiness. The same thing happens when you feel gratitude or do something good for someone. Neuroscientists have identified circuits in the brain that reward us for altruistic behaviors and feelings of gratitude. Our bodies release a hormone called oxytocin when we do something nice for others, which gives us a feeling of happiness and well-being. The same thing happens when we truly feel gratitude for everything we have and all that we are made to be.

Another DLC, another set of fresh new Spider-looks.
Peter gets some new tricks up his golden sleeves in Civil War.
Marvel's Spider-Man already has the movieverse's take on the Iron Spider suit, as worn by Tom Holland's Peter Parker in Avengers: Infinity War. But now it's getting the original article, as introduced in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man #529 in the run-up to Marvel's mixed bag of a comic event, Civil War.
As you might guess by the name—and its crimson/gold color palette—the Iron Spider suit is named such because it's a costume designed for Peter by Iron Man himself, Tony Stark. In Civil War, Tony advocated for superheroes to register their secret identities with the government to publicly act as licensed heroes. He convinced Peter to join him and publicly announce his identity as Spider-Man, and he also constructed Peter an actual protective suit, noting his usual costume was literally just cloth. The Iron Spider provided armor that could block bullets, multiple kinds of lenses for Peter to scan with, mesh underwings that allowed Peter to glide to the point of basically flying, and then, of course, the iconic mechanical arms that could pop out and attack Peter's foes.
The "daring" Spider-Armor makes its debut on the cover of Web of Spider-Man #100.
Marks II, III, and IV of the Spider-Armor are actually already in the game, so it makes sense that we actually get the original now.
The Spider-Armor was introduced briefly in the early '90s, and it was for one simple purpose: Peter needed to not be shot to death. Sure, he had Spider-sense that could let him dodge gunfire most of the time, but if he was actually shot at some point? All he's wearing is cloth. So when the New Enforcers attacked New York in Web of Spider-Man, he developed what is basically his own shining knight in armor, made out of a metallic compound Peter researched himself at college. Although the Spider-Armor I could block high-caliber rounds from guns, it reduced Peter's mobility significantly—something he would go on to fix in later iterations of the design. The original Spider-Armor did its job, but it was ultimately destroyed in Peter's battle with the Enforcers...because while it could stop bullets, it couldn't stop acid. Whoops.
Peter Parker is on a quest for vengeance when he's introduced into Marvel's Mangaverse.
The Mangaverse was first created in 2002 as one of Marvel's many attempts to flirt with manga and anime fans by offering stylized takes on its famous characters. Designated as Earth-2301 in the vast Marvel Multiverse, the Peter Parker of the Mangaverse was a young teenager, the last in the line of legendary ninjas of the Spider Clan. Taught by his Uncle Ben in the ways of martial arts before Ben was murdered by the Kingpin, this Peter went on a quest for revenge, training himself in secret. He didn't even have any actual Spider-Powers until Mangaverse's second wave of "New Mangaverse" titles finally decided to let him shoot webs for good measure.
As for the pastel cel-shading look the Spider-Man game gives the suit, it's directly inspired by Kaare Andrews and Dave McCaig's art in solo spinoff issue Mangaverse: Spider-Man, which adopted a flatter stylized look in keeping with the rest of the Mangaverse line. Hopefully it'll look just as rad as the vintage suit!

School Safety during Emergencies: What Parents Need to Know
Article Body
As a parent, feeling confident in the safety of your child or children at the school they attend is extremely important. Some of the questions parents have about school safety may be:
How are lockdown drills implemented?
What plans are in place to help kids stay safe?
How can I talk to my child or respond to their questions or anxiety about school safety?
While "school safety" is a broad term with various applications within every school, the information in this article can help parents learn about actions schools across the country are taking to make themselves safer and better prepared for an emergency.
All schools should have an organized, systematic emergency operations plan in place to reduce risks or prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a crisis situation. The types of crises can vary from a death or accident affecting some members of the school community to a natural disaster or community crisis affecting a lot of individuals in the school. Many school districts have a safety coordinator or director, or have assigned this role to one of the district administrators. School faculty and staff are trained to assess the seriousness of incidents and respond according to the plan's established procedures and guidelines.
What parents should do:
While the school staff has been trained and continue to receive guidance on how best to help students, the best advocate for your child is YOU! Ask your child's teacher about the plans the school has in place for emergencies such as fires, blizzards, bomb threats, and armed intruders. You can also ask how often school officials and safety experts meet to discuss safety procedures. While some schools may hesitate to share all components of their plans and strategies, make yourself aware of the information available to you.
Safety Drills Currently Used in Schools
In 2013, the White House released a Guide for Developing High-Quality School Emergency Operation Plans. The guide is customized for each type of community, incorporates lessons learned from recent incidents, and responds to the needs and concerns voiced following the recent shootings in Newtown and Oak Creek and the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma.
Terms to know:
Evacuation:Used to move students and staff out of the building.
With a simple evacuation, students and staff leave and move to a nearby pre-designated safe location and return to the school building right after the cause of evacuation is resolved. Schools practice evacuations regularly (often monthly) during fire drills.
Relocation:Used to move students and staff to a pre-designated alternate site following evacuation when it is determined that returning to the school building will not take place within a reasonable period of time.
Depending on the time of day and the circumstances, students may be released early or school activities may be changed or put on hold until they are able to return to the school building. Plans should also be in place for students and staff with limited mobility who may need assistance moving to the relocation site.
Shelter-in-place:Used during severe weather or other environmental threats (e.g., air contamination due to a local fire).
This is a precaution aimed to keep people safe while remaining indoors. (This is not the same thing as going to a shelter in case of a storm.) In schools, shelter-in-place involves having all students, staff, and visitors take shelter in pre-selected rooms that have phone access and stored disaster supplies kits and, preferably, access to a bathroom. The room doors are then shut.
Lockdown:Used when there is a perceived danger inside the building.
A lockdown includes securing each occupied room by locking the door(s) and directing people to move away from windows and doors. Hallways are cleared of students and school staff. Typically, local law enforcement arrives to secure the site and arrange for evacuation or return to usual building activities. Students are kept in their classrooms or other secured areas in the school until the lockdown has ended.
Lockout:Used to secure the building from a potential threat outside the building, such as when an unauthorized person is loitering on school grounds or when there is criminal activity in the neighborhood.
During a lockout, access to the building is restricted, but there may be some limited movement within the building.
How Emergencies at Schools are Communicated to Parents?
Every school has its own standards for parental involvement in school safety threats. To prevent possibly risking the safety of your child and their classmates, it is important for parents to understand what the school and local law enforcement require of them during these emergency situations.
Misinformation can easily spread if a crisis situation occurs at your child's school. Because of this, it is the responsibility of the school staff to provide parents with timely information on the status of their child's safety. For example, some schools have an emergency communication system in place that notify parents via email, voice, and text messages. Schools typically inform parents of any unusual situation that demands one of the protocols listed above, however, they may not provide prior notice of drills.
At the Beginning of the School Year, Parents Can:
Review with their child the family emergency plan, including reunification and communication options.
Provide the school with information about any unique needs their children may have. This can be accomplished by filling out an emergency information form and working with school health staff to be sure there is an emergency plan on file for your child that includes information on health issues and what is needed during other school emergencies.
Arrange for the school to have on hand back up/extra medication or other items to address the unique needs of your child so they have what they need if there is an emergency where they need to remain in the school building for a longer period of time.
Provide the school and your child's teacher with up-to-date contact information for family or friends who can help out if you are unavailable. Be sure to update this information as needed throughout the school year.
Learn about the school's plan for emergency response, including parental access during emergencies, school emergency contact information, meet-up locations, and other reunification plans.
Helpful Guidelines to Keep in Mind When Talking with Children about School Safety
For some children, even participation in a drill may cause some emotional distress, especially if it reminds them of a prior crisis event or if they otherwise are feeling vulnerable or anxious. As a parent, you are in the best position to help your child cope. Any conversation with a child must be developmentally appropriate.
Young children need brief simple information that should be balanced with reassurance. This includes informing children that their school and home are safe (once these are secure) and that adults are available to protect them. Young children often gauge how threatening or serious an event is by adult reactions. This is why, for example, parents are encouraged not to get overly emotional when saying goodbye on the first day of school. Young children respond well to basic assurance by adults and simple examples of school safety, like reminding them the exterior doors are locked.
Upper elementary and early middle school children may be more vocal in asking questions about whether they are truly safe and what is being done at their school. They may need assistance separating reality from fantasy. Parents can share the information they have about the school's safety plan and any other relevant communication to ease their child's mind.
Upper middle school and high school students may have strong and varying opinions about causes of violence in school and society. Parents should stress the role that students have in maintaining safe schools by following the school's safety guidelines (e.g., not providing building access to strangers, reporting strangers on campus, reporting threats to school safety made by students or community members, etc.).
After a crisis:
It is important to provide emotional support to a child in the aftermath of a crisis situation. Watch for clues that your child might want to talk, but understand that not all children will want or need to talk about these events. Some children may not express their concerns verbally. Be aware of signs that children might be in distress, e.g., changes in behavior, anxiety, sleep problems, acting out, problems at school or with academic work.
If you need assistance, consider talking with your child's doctor, a mental health professional, or the school nurse, counselor, or social worker at your child's school. See Helping Your Child Cope for strategies to ensure children's needs are met in emergency situations.

Stage 7 of the Dakar Rally was made up of hard-pack that favored speed setups and fesh-fesh (fine, loose sand) that gave the handling racers an advantage. In the end, familiar names topped the leaderboard with both Stephane Peterhansal and Sam Sunderland taking their second stage wins in cars and motorcycles respectively.
American Casey Currie is climbing through the class rankings. Standing 14th at the end of Stage 2, he improved to seventh by Stage 5, sixth at Stage 6 and moved up one more spot to fifth. He is slowly catching the leaders while battling setbacks such as the suspension damage incurred on Stage 7.
A rough stage 7 for Casey. A miscalculation over a dune caused damage to his front left suspension adding 40 minutes of downtime. He would get back going and play it safe getting to the finish. Finishing 9th on the stage, 01:06:14 behind stage winner.
In the cars class, Stephane Peterhansel took a hard landing after jumping a dune and suffered whiplash, but that was not enough to slow him. He beat Nani Roma by four minutes and is slowly closing the gap on Nasser Al-Attiyah, who finished nearly 12 minutes back in fourth. … Wedged between, Carlos Sainz rounded out the top three. … Robby Gordon and Blade Hildebrand continue to soldier on, but well off the pace. Gordon is currently more than 60 hours behind the class leader; Hildebrand is 27 hours behind. Both drivers lost more than four hours during Stage 7.
In motorcycles, Sam Sunderland became the first motorcycle rider in the 2019 rally to win two stages. His rollercoaster ride has also contributed to two stages in which he finished sixth and 12th. … For Jose Florimo it may be a case of too little, too late. He sits 12th in the class rankings, but has finished second in two of the last three stages. … Ricky Brabec retook the class lead with his third-place finish. … Adrien van Beveren has been steady and fast with six of his seven stages ending either fourth or fifth; in Stage 7, he was fourth. … Toby Price has also developed a tendency to finish well or poorly. Since Stage 2, he has alternated results of third or fourth with those of eighth or ninth.
In side by sides Francisco Lopez Contardo grabbed his second consecutive stage win and third overall to climb to second in the class standings. … Reinaldo Varela retook the class lead with his second-place finish. … Rodrigo Piazzoli rounded out the top three. … American Casey Currie climbed to fifth in class after finishing ninth in the stage. … Sergey Kariakin barrel-rolled his side by side and broke his running gear, but was able to finish the stage five hours off the pace. His title hopes are practically over after starting the morning second in class.
In quads, With his sixth stage win of the rally, Nicolas Cavigliasso extended his lead over the field to more than an hour and 15 minutes. … Alexandre Giroud earned his best stage finish of the year with a second; he finished third in Stage 2 and 4. … Manuel Andujar scored his second consecutive podium with back-to-back third-place finishes. … Gustavo Gallego finished just off the podium in fourth … Jeremias Gonzalez Ferioli lost 8:47 to the class leader with his fifth-place finish.
In trucks, Gerard de Rooy was originally listed as the winner of Stage 6, but officials elevated Dmitry Sotnikov overnight – making de Rooy wait a day to score his first stage win of the rally. … Siarhei Viazovich finished 30:55 back in second with Eduard Nikolaev rounding out the top three. … Sotnikov finished sixth on the stage and lost nearly an hour to class leader Nikolaev.

During the colonial age the town of Tamanrasset was used as a military fort for the French military. Since then, however, the Tamanrasset area has become a town ===Doomsday=== The Southeast portion of Algeria was completely unaffected by the immediate effects of Doomsday and the fallout that occurred afterwards. Within months, however, the Algerian government lost central control of the country, leaving the people of Ahaggar Mountains area to fend for themselves. Though, the inhabitants of the region, mostly Tuareg people, both nomadic and settled, were glad to be free from control of the Arabized Algerian Government, disunity amongst the various local tribes made the establishment of a nation state difficult. ===Tribal Conflicts amongst Kel Ahaggar=== Prior to 1977 the Kel Ahaggar, named after the mountain region in the Tamanrasset Province, was the area's Tuareg population Confederation; but in 1977 it was dissolved by the Algerian government. With Algerian army being more coastal rebellious areas, the Kel Ahaggar Confederation was re-established and became the leading power in the region. However, the Dag Rali tribe opposed letting the Kel Rota, the traditional leader of the Confederation, from regaining power. The Dag Rali gained support from several other tribes and created a separate state headed in the town of Abalessa. This led to a number of clashes between the two groups that threatened to completely split the new-founded country apart. However, during the summer of 1984 the nuclear summer lead to serious droughts and both sides came to gather and arrange an agreement. The Kel Rota would share power with the rest of the tribes and in return the capital would move back to Tamanrasset, which would also be the name of the new country. ===The First Years=== Within a year after Doomsday the Tuareg people of southern Algeria had united to form their own nation. This was a historic event considering the fact that the Tuareg people had been traditionally nomadic and had ferociously resisted the effects of nationalization in the countries of their residence. However, there were so serious issues the people of Tamanrasset had to face. During the mid and late 1980's the effects of Doomsday caused one of the worst droughts in history even causing hardships for the people of Kel Ahaggar. The Famine during these years is thought to have killed almost a quarter of the population. In order to stave off starvation the Tamanrasset government began to finance raids into their neighbor nation Tamahaq, creating bad blood between the two that still exists. These issues several hampered the curiosity of Tamanrasset about the rest of the world and survival became the only goal. ===Meeting with Kabylie=== In the winter of 1987 a group of soldiers on camels were seen approaching the somewhat ill-defined borders of Tamanrasset from the north. A military response was sent out to meet them, as they were considered most likely to be Algerian forces with the intention on re-establishing their authority in the area. However, in the end it turned out to be representatives from Kabylie, a Berber nation situated along the coastline. The Tuareg were pleased to encounter another group - especially a Berber one - and to hear of the state of the world, and the collapse of Algeria. Agreements were made, and arrangements were made for caravans to run between the two in the future. Trade, however, would remain limited due to the distance between the two and crossing through the Sahara remains difficult even today. ===A Nation of the Tuareg=== By the end of the 1980's the worst of the droughts had passed and the people of Kel Ahaggar resumed life more or less as it had been before. Many people simply returned to nomadic lifestyle, while others chose to remain in settled areas. As time went on the nomadic portion of the population brought more information about the rest of the world, mostly in the Sahara desert area. Many in Tamanrasset advocated an expansion of their borders into other Tuareg areas to, in the words of one influential tribal leader, "create a nation of Tuareg in hope of the security and protection of our people." Negotiations of between Tamanrasset and tribal Tuareg groups of nearby areas began shortly after. The process was done with surprisingly little violence. However, there were some clashes between Tamanrasset forces and Tuareg of Niger and Mali. Most Tuareg tribes in these areas, however, were in favor of joining forces with Tamanrasset since their lifestyle would remain uninterrupted. By 1997 agreement was reached with most Tuareg tribes in Northern Niger and it was officially incorporated into their territory, though this expansion was opposed by a few groups who were forced to immigrate as a result. In 2002 a similar process was completed in Mali, bringing Tamanrasset to the current size it is today. Tamanrasset was founded in 1984 in the remains of southern [[Algeria (1983: Doomsday)|Algeria]]. By 1997 it had expanded across the border into northern [[Niger (1983: Doomsday)|Niger]]. In 2002 it expanded across the former border into a unclaimed section of [[Mali (1983: Doomsday)|Mali]]. Although the desert town formerly had received on average 70 mm, or 2.5 inches, of rain per year, this has increased by nearly two fold since 2000 to nearly 140 mm or five inches of rain per year, mostly between January and May or the '''wet season'''. This, however, has not changed the ecology of the area vastly. [[File:1983ddAfricamap.png|300px]] [[Category:African countries (1983: Doomsday)]]

This morning I woke up to the alarm clock while it was still dark outside, put my hair in a pony tail, threw on some lip gloss and my tennis shoes and headed to the beach.
Happenings today included training a new crossing guard, getting yelled at by yet another (seems to be a trend) school secretary (the city cut their crossing guard, not me, so please don't yell at me...she says through a clenched-teeth-smile) and running into pretty much every one I know while looking like I just rolled out of bed while running into Costco for milk.
But really, it's been a good day. I just need to get back into the habit of waking up earlier and throwing myself together...pretty much meaning I take a shower and do my bible study at the crack. of. dawn. before I get everyone up and head out the door.
My life (which affects everyone around me) runs better that way.
The next day one of my BFF's mom brought us some INCREDIBLE bread up from San Diego.
The sourdough was awesome, but let me just tell you...brioche with bacon (pancetta) knocked our socks off.
Last night I made one of my standard, go to, easy peasy meals...roast chicken. I make 3 if my whole crew is going to be here but with Matthew back in the dorms I usually only make 2...mainly because my 16 year old eats a whole one himself.
Anyway, all I do is stuff 'em with lemon and garlic and thyme, rub them with olive oil and bake them at 425 for 1 1/2 hours...perfect chicken every. single. time and a favorite of that guy that I like so much.
And OH...I got a little bloggy make-over. I know my header was cute and you all miss it (thanks for the emails!), but a new one will be coming soon...in the meantime, my blog and my website now match. Soon they will be one site, but for now they just look alike. Thanks go to Michelle at Polka Dot Dandy for always making me (web-wise) look so schnazzy. Wish she could make me over in real life!
So, did Alex get a "trim" or a "cut"? Inquiring minds want to know!
Simply a trim. For now. He wants to shave it all off, but is going to wait until he is eligible to play again!


In the adult hippocampus neurogenesis-the procedure for generating mature granule cells from adult neural stem cells-occurs through the entire entire lifetime. prices or the small percentage of self-renewal reflecting the total amount between symmetric and Mouse monoclonal to FAK asymmetric cell divisions may bring about multiple time YL-109 stages in the response of the machine such as a short upsurge in cell matters accompanied by a lower. Furthermore these stages could be qualitatively different in cells at different differentiation YL-109 levels as well as between mitotically labelled cells and everything cells existing in the machine.  give a program YL-109 of incomplete differential equations to model the migration of immature neurons in the subventricular area along the rostral migratory stream towards the olfactory light bulb and investigate variables that result in biologically plausible solutions. Aimone  model the useful integration of brand-new neurons towards the hippocampus as an artificial neural network. Towards the authors' greatest knowledge there is no model handling the mobile dynamics in the subgranular area niche from the dentate gyrus. Our suggested style of the adult hippocampus is certainly a neurogenesis-adjusted adjustment of the style of haematopoiesis looked into by Marciniak-Czochra  and Stiehl & Marciniak-Czochra . Dynamics of hierarchical cell creation systems which maintain a continuing way to obtain differentiated useful cells to differing of a full time income organism have enticed the YL-109 interest of biologists and mathematicians for quite some time in the framework of bloodstream cell creation . Besides common components that may be within all cell creation systems a couple of significant differences with regards to the kind of cells regarded. To model the hierarchical framework of the machine we apply something of normal differential equations (ODEs) each which represents a discrete differentiation stage. In such versions the speed of commitment is certainly dictated by successive divisions. Yet in the situation of neurogenesis a couple of signs that stem cell differentiation also consists of direct (constant) transitions. Furthermore neural stem cells are multipotent and generate both neurogenic astrocytes and progenitors. We create a brand-new model accounting for these observations as provided in §2. Another essential program of modelling is within the choice of regulatory mechanisms. Because we aim to model short-term dynamics of labelled cells and there is no experimental evidence of feedback loops governing this process we propose a linear model. This assumption stays in line with a parsimonious (reductionist) approach to modelling in which comprehensive models are better understood in view of simpler models. It allows closed-form solutions to be obtained for the mathematical analysis of derivatives with respect to stem cell parameters. Our study is organized as follows: in §2 we state an ODE model of adult hippocampal neurogenesis based on the experimental observations reviewed in the first paragraph of this introduction. Moreover we introduce parameters that model the dynamics of neural stem and progenitor cells namely the fraction of self-renewal the proliferation rate and the division probability. In §3 we infer relations among these model parameters by deriving parameter conditions that account for the age-related decline in stem cell and progenitor counts as demonstrated by experimental data. Section 4 provides a mathematical analysis of the effects of a KO experiment. Because a stem-cell-targeting inducible KO spontaneously changes the dynamics of its target we model such a KO by analysing YL-109 the effects of alterations (calculating partial derivatives) with respect to the stem cell parameters proliferation rate fraction of self-renewal and division probability on cell counts and on the number of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporating cells. Section 5 contains parameter estimations and numerical investigations that could not be treated analytically and in §6 we summarize and discuss our findings.

Hatching out of an egg is hard work!
Seeing baby chicks emerging from their shells has been a daily part of visits to the Museum since 1956. Today, the Hatchery is part of our Genetics exhibit, and the chicks are also part of a program that helps to preserve rare chicken breeds. Watch as this time-lapse video shows just how hard these little chicks are working to get themselves free and take their first steps.


Berkeley, the second in the line of the British empiricism, is the founder of subjective idealism. Subjective idealism is an epistemological position according to which knowledge consists of ideas and ideas cannot exist apart from a mind. So, there is no extra mental objective reality existing independently of mind. Berkeley, who built his philosophic position following Locke's empiricism, differs from Locke in a number of ways. He specially rejects Locke's concept of substance and the primary qualities.
Though Berkeley uses the empiricism of Locke to establish his position, he is far from following Locke's common sense approach concerning the existence of substance. Berkeley sets out to remove some of the rubbishes from Locke's philosophy. Berkeley denies the existence of substance and the division between the primary qualities and the secondary qualities.
Berkeley introduces subjective idealism by his startling and provocative formula that "to be is to be perceived", anything must be perceived in order to exist. Clearly this would mean that if something were not perceived, it would not exist. It was Locke's philosophy that had raised doubt in Berkeley's minds about the independent existence of things or matters that Locke sought as the source of sensory stimuli. Locke had failed to push his own theory of knowledge to conclusions that to Berkeley seemed inevitable.
When Locke spoke of substance as "something we know not what", he was only a short step from saying that it was nothing, which Berkeley did say. He denied the existence of the material substances and said that minds and their ideas alone are real. Berkeley says 'Esse est percipi'. It means anything must be perceived in order to exist, no matter, but only qualities are perceived and therefore there is nothing besides minds and their ideas. What, for example is a cherry? It is soft, round, red, wet and fragrant. All these qualities are ideas in the mind that the cherry has the power to produce through the senses. So, that the softness is felt, the color is seen, the roundness is felt or seen, the sweetness is tested and fragrance smelled. Again, the very existence of all these qualities consists in their being perceived. And apart from these qualities there is no sensed quality. The cherry, then, represents a complex of sensation.
Primary Qualities: Berkeley refutes Locke's theory of primary qualities and the division between the primary and secondary qualities. Berkeley, like Locke, had shown that the secondary qualities such as color, heat, round, taste, smell etc; are subjective. To a jaundiced person everything appears to be yellow. The same water appears cold or Luke-warm with the variation of conditions. He then proceeds to show that the lot of primary qualities is no better. Firstly, primary qualities such as extension, weight, motion, number etc vary with varying conditions like the secondary qualities. The same thing looks larger when we are near of it than when we are far off. The same motion appears fast to one and slow to other. The same thing is one, thirty six or three accordingly as it measured by a yard, a foot or an inch. Secondly, the proven and secondary qualities can't be perceived apart from each other. So, extension can't be perceived apart from color (by right) or heat and cold (by touch). The same arguments which make the secondary qualities subjective are equally applicable to the primary qualities. Is it possible, Berkeley asks, to separate primary and secondary qualities "even in thought"?
Berkeley adds, I might as easily divide between primary and secondary qualities. But in truth the object and the sensation are the same thing and cannot therefore, be abstracted from each other. Since substance or matter is never perceived or sensed, it cannot be said to exist.
Berkeley was perfectly aware of the potential nonsense involved in his idealistic hypothesis. Aware that his idealism would be ridiculed , Berkeley writes what therefore becomes of the sun, moon and stars? What must we thing of houses, rivers, mountains, trees, stones nay even of our own bodies? Are all these so many chimeras and illusions of fancy?
According to him, objects are not therefore unreal. They exist primarily in the mind of God; and our ideas of them are only the reproductions of divine ideas. The laws of nature are the ways in which God perceived these ideas and reproduced them in finite spirits.
Berkeley adds: I do not argue against the existence of any one thing that we can apprehend either by sense or reflection. The only thing whose existence we deny is that which philosophers call matter or corporal substance. And in doing of this, there is no damage done to rest of mankind, who, I dare say, will never miss it, says Berkeley.
In conclusion, we can say that in Berkeley's theory a thing is the sum of its perceived qualities and it is for this reason he argued that to be is to be perceived, anything must be perceived in order to exist. Since substance or matter is never perceived, it cannot be said to exist. If substance does not exist and if sensed qualities alone are real then only thinking as Berkeley says, spiritual beings exist.


Do doors open outward or inward?
Home » trivia » Do doors open outward or inward?
The doors in public buildings open outward to allow a large number of people quick exit in case of danger, such as fire. If the doors opened inward, people might pile up at the exit as everyone pushed to get through at once instead of stepping back to allow space for the door to be opened.
The front doors of private homes mostly open inwards because they sometimes have to be removed from the hinges in to allow furniture to be moved in. If the hinges were on the outside, burglars could remove them easily. Since there are fewer people in a home, there's no danger of a pileup at the door in case of fire.

HARRISBURG, (Sept. 10, 2018) – The NFIB PA PAC announced today it endorsed Scott Wagner, a former senator, a member of NFIB, and candidate in the race for Pennsylvania Governor. Wagner's voting record on small business issues and his experience as a small-business owner played a large role in the endorsement decision.
"Scott Wagner has built successful businesses from scratch, and he knows the obstacles other small-business owners face in Pennsylvania," said Rebecca Oyler, Legislative Director of NFIB in Pennsylvania. "As a former Senator, he had an excellent voting record on key small business issues.
NFIB is the leading small-business association in the nation with thousands of members across Pennsylvania, representing a cross-section of the state's economy. The endorsement comes from the NFIB PA PAC, the association's state political action committee, which is comprised of small-business owners. The legislative voting record contributed to the final decision, as did a statewide NFIB member ballot.
Small-business owners and their employees vote in high numbers and are known for actively recruiting friends, family members, and acquaintances to go to the polls. NFIB will encourage its members to help turn out the small-business vote for NFIB PA PAC-endorsed candidates, including Scott Wagner in the General Election.


Everyone is talking about personalization these days. Giving consumers what they want can increase the chance of conversion. However, over 90 percent of marketers honestly believe they don't have the tools to implement it. It may not that difficult to implement personalized advertising if we choose a right method.
A lot of media are trying to achieve personalization including both offline and online media. For decades, newspaper, TV, billboard, and other offline media provided a one-way communication. Using this way is not enough to meet advertisers' goal anymore. Even offline media has to find a way to interact with customers, but it is not easy to achieve personalization. I believe MTR advertising preforms better in term of personalization among all the offline media. Many of their ads include QR codes and NFC tags for people to scan by their mobile devices in order to obtain more information. However, how many people would actually do that?
Using online media is easier to connect with customer personally, especially through mobile advertising. Mobile device usually will not share with others, so it can target them accurately; therefore, we are able to target the right people with the right mindset and ultimately winning consumers' attention and loyalty. There are several factors that we have to pay attention to in order to create a successfully personalized campaign including the selection between different networks and exchanges and RTB platforms which make customers to take actions quickly and therefore has higher conversion rate.
Reaching customers by mobile advertising with advance targeting can be very successfully because people will receive information that they want. Advertisers can also minimize a lot of wastage and maximize ROI. The Future is personalized.

Q: How to structure single to many relations in schemas when needed to extract only part of the embedded schema I will be grateful if someone could help me with a database design problem
I have Item schema and ItemGroup Schema, also User and UserGroup and so on...
I wanted to embedded the Users as an array inside UserGroup for example and then when I find some users I will also get their UserGroup information.
Something like that:
const userGroupSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  Name: String,
  Users: [{ Name: String, County: String }]
}

The problem is that I get the entire embedded array of users for every search that at least one user meets the search. I only want the users that match the search criterion.
Does the only solution is separate schemas with single to many relations?
I don't think that complex aggregate functions are the answer
Thanks

Permission to publish material from Lorenzo Snow Young architectural drawings of the J. Reuben Clark, Jr., Library must be obtained from the Supervisor of Reference Services and/or the Special Collections Board of Curators.
Lorenzo Snow (Bing) Young (1894-1968), a predominant Utah architect and the grandson of two presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Brigham Young and Lorenzo Snow), a man who had a zest for life and all that it offered died in 1968 at age 73.
Bing was born in Salt Lake City in 1894 to Brigham Morris Young and Celestia Armeda Snow, the ninth of their children. Apparently he was never called by his given name; his children believe he was named after the family dog. Some who did not know him except by reputation wondered if he was Chinese.
Bing's father always struggled financially, but according to Bing's brother, Gaylen, the years from 1900 to 1907 were an especially difficult period. Little is known of Bing's early life. He did leave high school without graduating and went to work at the Oregon Short Line Railroad where he became a draftsman. Although the time sequence is unclear, he later returned to Salt Lake City's LDS High School and graduated with the class of 1917 at age 22. Although he had known her earlier, it was there that he also deepened his friendship with Catherine Aleine Margetts, who was later to become his wife.
In 1918, he joined the U.S. Army as a buck private and was soon shipped to France where he served in a communications outfit as a runner. During his service he was shot through his hand. Included in his papers are letters he wrote to Aleine from France. He received his discharge papers in 1919, returned to Salt Lake City, and decided he wanted to become an architect.
In 1919, he went east to study architecture at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. After completing his first year at Pratt, he returned to Salt Lake and on September 17, 1920, he married Aleine. The two of them returned to Brooklyn where he finished his second year at Pratt. After graduation, he spent a summer at Columbia taking additional architecture classes. He next enrolled in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania to study under Paul Cret, who had been responsible for designing many of the beaux arts buildings in Washington, D.C. Two years later, Bing graduated with honors and was one of two students invited into the T-Square Club in Philadelphia.
Bing initially practiced architecture in Philadelphia. In 1924, the couple returned to Utah to make their home. He was employed as an architect by the LDS Church, but found that not to his liking. The head of the architectural office at that time was Col. Willard Young, of whom Bing said in his oral interview, to paraphrase, that he probably knew a lot about military service but nothing much about architecture. Also in the office was Joseph Don Carlos Young Jr. son of Joseph Don Carlos, Bing's second cousin, and also a grandson of Brigham Young; the Hansen was Ramm Hansen.
Within a few years Bing entered into practice with Edward O. Anderson. Together, they received their first large commission: to design Kingsbury Hall on the University of Utah campus. Success was initially short lived because of the Depression. However, during the 1930s several commissions came their way and the firm Anderson and Young continued until 1937, when Anderson left. In 1936, Arnold Ehlers joined the firm and continued with Bing until 1953.
By 1934, Bing and Aleine's family was complete. Dick and Renee, the two oldest, were born in the early 1920s; Janet in 1929; and Bob in 1934. By 1937 the family was living in a home designed by Bing and located at 1608 Michigan Avenue. This was a Tudor-style home, at one time featured in Better Homes and Gardens, and was where Bing and Aleine spent the rest of their married lives.
In the late 1930s, the LDS Church formed a committee of six prominent Mormon architects, the Temple Board of Architects, who were to be responsible for designing two new temples--one in Los Angeles and one in Arizona. It was undoubtedly an honor to be on the board, but it turned into an exercise in frustration both for the architects and the First Presidency of the LDS Church--no one could agree on the design work. While on board, Bing continued to design a number of chapels for the church.
During the 1940s, because of World War II, there was little construction. Bing joined the army in 1943 and served until 1946. He was stationed at Utah's Fort Douglas, where he spent time inspecting government buildings. Later he was in charge of the western region of the country while determining for the government the costs of converting military buildings from war time to civilian uses. In 1946, he resumed his professional practice.
During the late 1940s, Bing became embroiled in a disagreement with the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), a group for which he had been president in the 1930s. He had been commissioned by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers (DUP) to design their museum in Salt Lake located at the top of Main Street just West of the State Capitol. Rather than doing a contemporary design, he designed a replica of the old Salt Lake Theatre razed almost twenty years before, a demolition that had been protested by the ladies of the DUP. Therefore, the replica seemed fitting for the group, but not in the eyes of many of his professional peers, who thought that in the new era following World War II, important public buildings should be contemporary in design. At that time he resigned his membership in the AIA but the letters later appear as part of his professional title.
In the 1950s, his firm designed a number of homes, schools, and commercial buildings. The firm grew during this decade and many architects who went on to head their own firms worked for Bing. According to Richard Jackson, an architect and historian of the Salt Lake City architectural scene, "people liked to work in his office because of the excellent training to be received and the wide variety of work to be done. When you worked for Bing you worked very hard indeed." He worked the week around, even on Sundays. According to the family members, he loved the practice of architecture and, as a perfectionist, no effort would be spared in making sure all projects were completed correctly.
During the 1950s and 1960s, there were fewer direct commissions for LDS Church chapels, but Bing did receive commissions for two large projects at Brigham Young University: the J. Rueben Clark Library (later renamed in honor of Harold B. Lee) and some campus residence halls. He was asked to design his own LDS Church ward house, the Bonneville Stake Center. The style of the center was colonial revival, of which Richard Jackson stated, "he was a master." Many large projects came to the firm in the 1960s, including the College of Law, the J. Willard Marriott Library, and the Special Events Center at the University of Utah; just prior to his death, the design of the Marriott Center at Brigham Young University was also under contract to the firm.
During the 1950s, he and Aleine began traveling. Renee, the oldest daughter, had married Lowell Christensen from Honolulu, so there were many trips to Hawaii. Bing was a member of the LDS Church's Mormon Tabernacle Choir for nineteen years, so they also traveled to Europe with the Choir in the 1950s. Aleine, a member of the General Board of the Relief Society for the LDS Church, often was assigned to speak at regional conferences in the United States and other countries. When Bing could leave, he would often accompany her on these trips. Closer to home, the couple made frequent trips to Salmon, Idaho, where Dick, the oldest son who had by now married Barbara Weaver, was practicing dentistry.
Janet had married Douglas Denkers. After first living in Salt Lake for a few years, the Denkers moved to England, which they found much to their liking and where they stayed until after Bing's death in 1968. So, Bing and Aleine also visited the Denkers. Doug, an architect, had worked with Bing and it was expected that he would eventually take over the firm, but that did not happen. Bob, who married Nancy Valentine, was the only child in Salt Lake in the 1960s and 1970s. He was in the advertising business and later managed a radio station before opening his own insurance agency.
In the 1960s, when it became clear that Doug would be not returning to the firm, a partnership was formed with Bob Fowler and Shirl Cornwall. From 1961 through 1964, the firm was Lorenzo S. Young and Partners. In 1965, the firm was titled Young and Fowler Associates. In 1968, the partnership agreement between Bing and Bob had expired but no new agreement was signed. Bing died unexpectedly in March 1968 and his firm expired with him. A succeeding firm, headed by Bob Fowler, FFKR, went on to complete projects begun during Bing's lifetime, such as the Marriott Center at Brigham Young University. FFKR became one of the leading architectural firms in Utah, to some extent a legacy of the work of Lorenzo Snow Young.
Bing was a gregarious person who belonged to many organizations. He took up golf the last few years of his life. His son Bob despaired of playing with his father and friends because they had their own score keeping system which would have never been sanctioned by the Professional Golf Association. As a very young man, he was a skier and, until the late 1950s, had walked to work from his home on Salt Lake's east bench to the Continental Bank Building in downtown Salt Lake. In 1967, he began to experience back problems, accompanied by significant pain and an inability to stand erect. In order to try to correct the condition, he went to Hawaii for an operation. Unfortunately, he died as a result of some of the post-operative procedures.
Bing Young designed somewhere between 500 and 700 buildings and took a leadership role in many professional and civic organizations. His personal life was full with his family and their activities, a host of friends, membership in many organizations, and his church callings. He was very proud of the fact that both his grandfathers had been presidents of the LDS Church and he remained faithful to his Mormon Heritage.

(AB InBev Efes corrects statement cited in paragraph 7 to show its 11% share of non-alcoholic beer market is in Spain, not Italy)
By Anna Rzhevkina
MOSCOW (Reuters) – AB InBev Efes, a Russia-based unit of the world's largest brewer Anheuser-Busch InBev, expects double-digit growth in its non-alcoholic local beer sales in the next few years, after COVID-19 accelerated a shift towards healthier lifestyles.
While many beer lovers across the globe shifted to at-home consumption during the pandemic, non-alcoholic beer sales in Russia – the world's sixth-largest beer market – grew 13% year-on-year, while the overall beer market rose 4%, according to AB InBev Efes.
The company's own sales of non-alcoholic beer in Russia jumped by 20% last year, Dmitry Shpakov, chief executive officer of AB InBev Efes, told Reuters.
"Healthy lifestyles, which became popular long before the pandemic, gained more momentum last year and contributed to increasing consumer interest in non-alcoholic beer, delivering double-digit growth," Shpakov said.
AB InBev Efes, which operates in Russia and Ukraine and offers BUD, Stella Artois and Spaten among other brands, expects this trend to continue over the next few years, Shpakov said.
"The (non-alcoholic beer) industry has more than doubled over the last four to five years. And the further ahead we look, the more non-alcoholic beer becomes not a substitute for alcoholic beer, but a category in its own right."

Despite the recent surge, the share of non-alcoholic beer on the Russian market accounts for just over 2%, much lower than 11% in Spain or 8% in Germany, Shpakov said.
Mirroring a wider boom in Russia's e-commerce market, AB InBev Efes' online sales of non-alcoholic beer, which include lagers, fruit beers and blanches, rose 400% in the first quarter compared with a year earlier, Shpakov said.
Sales of premium beer were also up last year, but AB InBev Efes saw its fastest growth in the imported beer segment, with sales up around 31%, a trend Shpakov said had continued into 2021.
Interest in imported beer and local producers has been underway in Russia for a few years, said Pavel Funtikov of NielsenIQ Russia, as consumer interest in niche, local products and an expanded selection of brands has grown.
AB InBev Efes, Carlsberg and Heineken are Russia's largest beer market players but the growing number of smaller brewers has cut their market share to 67.5% in 2020 from 81.7% in 2012, according to NielsenIQ.

The best of Baroque and Beaumont
Tuesday evening marked the fourth of this year's Baroque concert series, one traditionally performed in front of the magnificent high altar (1758-61) of Ernen's parish church of St. Georg.
The setting is always impressive, but under the seasoned and superb direction of Deirdre Dowling and Ada Pesch, the configuration of players made an equally impressive line-up, their repertoire alternating between works that were startlingly refreshing and more contemplative or lyrical. First violinist Bojan Cicic's virtuoso playing in a sonata by Giovanni Stefano Carbonelli was particularly stunning. But the evening's most exhilarating moments were those shared with the Maite Beaumont, the Spanish mezzo-soprano who delighted the audience here in Ernen last year, and came back again to give a categorically brilliant performance.
Granted, the evening began modestly; it took a moment for the first group of five players to find its footing. In Antonio Lotti's sonata for two oboe, bassoon, and continuo, the musicians' attacks and endings were entirely spot on, but the bassoon was a little wobbly at the start, and the Adagio's pacing, a tad too listless and sleepy for my taste. Over time, the group's finesse showed itself handsomely, however, and the hair's pause before the last collective chord made a highly effective finish.
Maite Beaumont made her first appearance with three arias drawn from Domenico Scarlatti's opera, «Amor d'un ombra e gelosia d'un aura,» she drew on the full gamut of vocal possibilities, and her mastery of transitions from her high to middle voice was remarkable. She used her hands to underscore a wealth of emotions, particularly in the «Vieni, o cara»—my favorite aria among the three—making it a piece that pulled ever harder on the heart strings. And after the superb instrumental Carbonelli, she came back to show her agility with a whole gamut of dramatic effects. What's more, in Domenico Natale Sarro's «Barbara gelosia fuggi dall'alma mia,» Beaumont became one categorically furious persona, ripping into the rival of whom she was jealous, then, in turn, seeming to mourn a tremendous loss. In these moments, the lute and harp underscored the sweet memories, the striking strings, her fire and fury.
In Ernen, the concert interval is always a chance to marvel at the surrounding alpine landscape and spread of the rich Rhone valley below. But back in the church, the second half of the program was no less riveting. Mike Fentross, the configuration's gifted theorbo, baroque guitar, and vihuela player, took the time to explain the latter, that relatively unknown six double-stringed instrument that enjoyed popularity in 15th and 16th Spain, Portugal, and Italy. In two short pieces by Luis de Milán, the plaintive «Fantasia» and spirited «Pavana» gave us real dialogue between instrument and player: Fentross's body movements and facial expressions reflected the score, and his smile, infectious.
In a trio of three movements by Joan Baptista Pla, I particularly liked the varying moods set by the two oboes, whose soft touch at the end came like a light embrace. But the real show-stopper in the evening's program was Maite Beaumont's superb execution of three arias by José de Nebra. Indeed, it was as if the music— 18th-century though it is—was written for her voice, and she showed herself completely at home in its expression. The moods the three songs demanded ranged from turbulent to the tell-tale and narrative, from coquettish to pleading. Nevertheless, she made each one as clear as a bell, performing throughout with the full support of the players' fully engaged and perfectly-modulated orchestration. I don't know the Baroque to be any better.

Lord Ashley of Stoke: I support the amendments. They ensure that in a multi-channel environment publicly funded channels are available as a matter of course without viewers having to buy additional equipment. The provision applies to all delivery systems, a most important point.
Two basic truths have prompted the amendments. First, it is far too easy for the legislature to fail to anticipate future developments, especially where technology is concerned. Indeed, some of us are rather frightened of technology; I know that I am. We tend to shy away from it. It is easy for the legislature to look away. Secondly, parliamentary time is by no means always available to remedy omissions. The lesson is that we should play safe on important issues. That is what the amendments are designed to do.
The Minister went on to talk about the "strong possibility" of the development of "set-top boxes" which would receive all modes of transmission. Although he said that that was a strong possibility, it is still only a possibility and not a probability. That is an important point. Let us suppose that the development does not take place. Even if it does, what if the owners of cable or satellite decide that it is in their commercial interests to squeeze out the terrestrial programmes? That is very probable because commercial interests come first.
The requirements of "must offer", "must carry" and also of "open access", which are reflected in the amendments, make this a matter of public interest. Such requirements would guarantee that our present terrestrial programmes were available to viewers whatever the future developments and without the need for future legislation. Television has to be paid for in some way or another, but the best bargain of all now--and it is likely to remain so--must be the BBC's programmes when one thinks of the cost of the licence fee. That must remain the basic fixture of television for the foreseeable future. The amendments are about preventing the possibility of any operator squeezing out the BBC, which is the best television bargain in the world.
I know that the Government have not said that they do not want the continuation of current terrestrial programmes. I accept that fact. Nevertheless, the Government are simply sitting on their hands and doing nothing to ensure the future of current terrestrial programmes. I cannot believe that the Government are unaware of the risks. I hope the Minister will look favourably and sympathetically at the amendments.
for them. They have been admirably explained and I shall not discuss them further. However, I believe it is important to ensure that British audiences can continue to have universal access to public services in this digital age. In the absence of a "must offer" obligation on satellite providers, homes that otherwise are dependent on satellite for digital reception would find themselves paying for, but being unable to view, public funded services. I believe that that matter needs attention.
My noble friend Lord Inglewood in his address at the end of the first amendment talked about a measured balance being required in the competition between the different forms of television. I believe that that is true in this case. I believe that these amendments will contribute to that measured balance for which he is asking and I very much hope that the Government will support these amendments and the principle embodied in them.
Lord Thomson of Monifieth: The noble Baroness has raised an important matter. I wait with great interest to hear what the Minister has to say. I heard what the noble Baroness said about Sydenham Hill; that is the area from where the television is broadcast that my grandchildren watch.
Something is worrying me that I had not realised could go on. However, I am conscious of the fact that I am in my dotage and that my knowledge of these things relates to the past. I thought the "must carry" rule was firmly applied by the appropriate authorities and I thought that the cable authority was put under that obligation when it was merged into the new ITC. I believed that the "must carry" rule was rigidly applied. I am rather worried by what the noble Baroness said. She has raised an important matter and I hope that the Minister gives us a satisfactory reply to that.
Viscount Chelmsford: I rise merely to ask the noble Baroness where it is stated that the amendments are restricted to public service broadcasting. It looks to me as though they go much wider.
Baroness O'Cathain: My noble friend referred to public service broadcasting. When I considered this whole issue I thought that public service broadcasting comprised just the BBC because that is the body which is publicly funded by the licence fee. However, I realised that the term "public service broadcasting" includes ITV, Channel 4, and will include Channel 5.
Lord Donoughue: We on this side had assumed earlier that this matter would be discussed at a more prime part of the day as it is an issue that we consider to be of considerable importance. I must confess that until the noble Baroness, Lady O'Cathain, spoke on the matter at Second Reading I had missed it altogether. I do not count myself a great expert on the matter but I believe it is an issue of great importance that the "must carry" and "must offer" rules and obligations should be there.
will be able to reassure us. It seems to me that this matter is on a quite different level and scale from many of the important but nitty bitty nuts and bolts that we deal with. This is an important issue.
Lord Inglewood: I wish to begin by making it absolutely clear to my noble friend that the Government are in full agreement with the aims behind her amendment. We want the services of existing public service broadcasters to continue to be available to all of the people of the United Kingdom. Indeed, that is one of the key principles on which our proposals for digital terrestrial television are based. We also want to ensure that the providers of all conditional access, multiplex and other services must provide services in a non-discriminatory manner to all those who seek to use them. This is important because those providers may exercise a "gatekeeping function" whereby broadcasters depend on their services in order to get their programmes to viewers.
be a significant attraction for viewers, so the BBC and other channels have a strong hand. The new cable services will need to carry their programming in order to develop or sustain market share. Indeed, I would not expect viewers to give up their terrestrial aerials unless they are assured by the companies providing other means of reception that they will continue to receive the public service channels. And, in the area of digital terrestrial television, the existing channels will, of course, themselves be given over to multiplex provision.
However, having said all that, I wish to repeat the assurance I gave to the Committee. The Government are committed to monitoring the situation as it develops.
I was most interested to hear what my noble friend had to say about Videotron. I must concede that I am unaware of the detail of the circumstances surrounding this case. I shall obviously want to look into that before returning to that point. If we could follow up that matter it would be most helpful. I have given an assurance that if something appears to require monitoring we should, as a first step, look into what is going on. We start undoubtedly from a position where we are unconvinced by the particular proposals contained in the amendment. However, I hope that the Committee will allow me to look further into the matter that was drawn to my attention this evening.
