Avian influenza in the US: High-path, low-path and its link to other poultry diseases
The most dangerous characteristic of avian influenza is its ability to mutate quickly from a low-pathogenic disease of the respiratory tract to a high-pathogenic disease with mortality rates up to 100%, explained David Swayne, DVM, PhD, research veterinarian with the USDA.
"Once these low-pathogenic strains enter a commercial poultry flock, the virus circulates throughout the flock and has the potential to mutate into the high-pathogenic H5 and H7 strains, which spread rapidly resulting in high mortality levels," he told Poultry Health Today.
As early as 1987, low-pathogenic forms of avian influenza (AI) were identified in flocks of wild birds in the US that experienced very little infection or mortality.
Even though low-pathogenic strains of AI are not known for high mortality, co-infections with other respiratory diseases including infectious bronchitis and infectious bursal disease can increase production losses and mortality levels, the veterinarian said.
'Doesn't matter which'
"It doesn't matter which infection is present first, any co-infection increases the severity of both diseases," Swayne added.
In early 2015, highly pathogenic H5 strains of AI spread quickly between flocks and poultry farms across the US resulting in the destruction of approximately 48 million chickens and turkeys. Low-pathogenic AI was also reported in turkey flocks in Indiana in January 2016 and in Missouri in April 2016.
"The AI virus can be spread through various paths including clothing, vehicles, dust and windblown particles," Swayne said. "The exact pathway of infection may never identified."
Poultry producers quickly learned the importance of biosecurity during the 2015 outbreaks and began implementing strict protocols in an effort to help slow the spread of the disease.
Education key to detection
Education is the key to early detection of an AI infection. It is critical that everyone involved in poultry production — from the farm workers and veterinarians to the testing labs — is educated and trained to identify the signs of AI.
"The AI outbreak in Indiana [in early 2016] began in ducks and birds of prey as a low-pathogenic strain," Swayne explained. "Once it entered the commercial operation, it began circulating and mutated into a highly pathogenic H7 strain."
Increased surveillance on the part of poultry producers and veterinarians helped identify the 2016 Indiana outbreak before it became widespread, he added. The Missouri outbreak in late April was still being investigated at the time of this report.
Vaccination programs for AI remain a hot topic for poultry producers worldwide.
Swayne said because the US can't live with highly pathogenic AI, the best solution for control is complete eradication of the disease or a "stamping-out" program involving humane euthanasia and ecologically sound disposal.
In other countries with poor infrastructure and limited diagnostic and testing programs, vaccination for AI is often the only viable option for poultry production.

Emerging disease trends come under focus in latest version of industry 'bible'
Referred to as "the bible of poultry disease," the 14th edition of Diseases of Poultry has been updated to reflect evolving health and management challenges facing producers today.
Integrated plan with live production needed to meet new Salmonella standards
Poultry companies struggling to meet higher USDA standards for Salmonella need to increase control efforts in live production to help avoid the dreaded Category 3.
Poultry producers facing higher hurdles with USDA food-safety standards
Poultry producers can expect to jump higher hurdles as USDA continues to raise the bar for food safety.
New standards for foodborne pathogens expanding control programs to live production
A rise in the prevalence of Salmonella on whole chicken carcasses since USDA changed the testing medium used could indicate the prevalence of the pathogen was previously underestimated.

Highlights of a roundtable discussion
The growing trend toward "no antibiotics ever" and "reduced use" production systems has prompted poultry companies to rethink their traditional disease-management practices.


I loved The Archived so much - its unique premise, its awesome protagonist Mackenzie, the relationships between Mac and her family, and of course, Wesley.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of a sampler of The Unbound, and when I read it, the only thing I could think about was that I needed a copy of the full novel because how could the sampler end like that (brilliant marketing, by the way). And when my copy of The Unbound arrived, I devoured it (nom nom nom).

Q: service class should implement on feature module or separately I'm having a component (UserInformation), which is inside the shared folder, is uses different modules. Component HTML file contains 2 anchor tags with click event.
eg -  <a (click)="userClicked($event)"> {{userInfo.FullName}} </a>
UserInformation component uses by other feature modules as well.
For example, Feature module 1 and feature module 2 uses the UserInformation.
my problem is where can i park the service class for implementation of click event, click event behave differently according to modules.
Is the service class should inside feature module? if then, how can i implement that?

A: Create an interface that your components have to implement.
export interface IUserInformation {
  userClicked(event: any);
  userInfo: {
    FullName: string;
  }
}

Now all your components using this shared component must implement this class :
export class FirstComponent implements IUserInformation {
  ...
}

If your component doesn't declare userClicked and userInfo, your linter will throw an error.

75 Years of Wonder Woman
WB and DC Unveil Ongoing Celebration
Mon August 01, 2016 at 12:33 PM PDT
This October marks the 75th Anniversary of the birth of the iconic super hero Wonder Woman and to celebrate Warner Bros. Entertainment and DC Entertainment have kicked off a year-long celebration that culminates with next June's theatrical release of Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot in the title role. Of course, Gadot made her cinematic debut as the Amazon Princess earlier this year in the blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Speaking of which, the recently released BvS Blu-ray includes a 22-minute featurette called "The Warrior, The Myth, The Wonder" which explores Wonder Woman's history, origin, evolution and powerful impact on popular culture.
Beginning with a new commemorative logo (seen above) honoring the legacy of Wonder Woman, some of the highlights of the year will include the relaunch of her comic book series (Wonder Woman Rebirth #1 was released this past June); new graphic novels; and consumer products, including apparel, toys and other exclusive merchandise, starting with The Barbie™ Collection Amazon Princess Wonder Woman™ Barbie® Doll. And in October, the United States Postal Service will make available four Forever stamps (on a sheet of 20) depicting Wonder Woman during four eras of comic book history: Golden Age (1941–55), Silver Age (1956–72), Bronze Age (1973–86) and Modern Age (1987–present).

"Wonder Woman has long stood with Batman and Superman in the trinity of DC's most iconic super heroes, but she also stands alone as a symbol of equality, justice and female empowerment and is more relevant today than ever. With her roots in Greek mythology and American feminism, Wonder Woman is one of the most unique and compelling characters in comic book history; her longevity is a testament to her global appeal and the special place she holds in the hearts of generations of girls who have imagined wielding their own lassos of truth."
DC Universe Online also has amazing things happening throughout this anniversary, including open episodes, a FREE Wonder Woman emblem (until August 21), and much more. Play for FREE now on PC, PS3, and PS4. Watch DCUO's latest video celebration:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The 15th Annual Fulbright Alumni Conference was held at Serena Hotel in Islamabad from November 30 to December 2, in which more than 200 Pakistani alumni of the Fulbright Program participated.
The Conference focused on "Emerging Leaders", and highlighted the diverse ways in which alumni are blazing new paths for Pakistan in agriculture, education, the arts and media.
The Minister-Counselor for Public Affairs at the US Mission to Pakistan Christopher Fitzgerald congratulated the alumni on their accomplishments and urged them to continue applying the skills and connections they developed in the United States to their professional and personal pursuits in Pakistan.
"For almost 70 years, the United States has brought future leaders from Pakistan for study in America under the Fulbright program, and Americans have come to Pakistan for study and research. This year, 800 Pakistanis are in the United States on a variety of academic and professional development programs. Alumni of these exchange programs become leaders in Pakistan and bridge-builders between our countries. We're very proud of them," Fitzgerald said at the event.
The participants of the Conference join a network of over 25,000 alumni of various overseas and in-country exchange programs, the largest network of its kind supported by the United States of America.
Each year over 800 Pakistanis participate in high school, undergraduate, graduate, and professional US-sponsored exchanges.

Q: Access variable from inner onClick method in outer class in Wicket I have a class which looks like this
    private static class LinkTest extends WebMarkupContainer {
        public LinkTest(String id) {
            super(id);
            AjaxLink<Object> link = new AjaxLink<>("link") {
                @Override
                public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                    String content = //... some function call
                }
            };
            add(link);
            // .. how to access "content" variable here
            link.add(new Label("label", Model.of(content)));
            add(new AttributeAppender("onclick",
              new Model(format("alert('%s');", contentModel)), ";"));
        }
    }

I'd like to get access of "content" variable inside of LinkTest constructor. Any ideas how to do it ?

A: private static class LinkTest extends WebMarkupContainer {
  public LinkTest(String id) {
    super(id);

    // 1
    IModel<String> contentModel = Model.of("initial value");
    AjaxLink<String> link = new AjaxLink<>("link", contentModel) {
        @Override
        public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
            // 2
            contentModel.setObject("a new value");

            // 3
            target.add(this.get("label"));

            // 5
            target.appendJavaScript("alert('"+contentModel.getObject()+"');");
        }
    };
    add(link);
    Label label = new Label("label", contentModel);
    link.add(label);
    //4
    label.setOutputMarkupId(true);
}

}

*

*The idea is to use a shareable container for the content. In Wicket this is the model (IModel).

*When the link is clicked then you update the model

*To update the Label you need to add it to the AjaxRequestTarget.

*Don't forget to make the Label Ajax updateable by calling .setOutputMarkupId(true) on it

*By using target.appendJavaScript(CharSequence) you can send the newly calculated content to the browser

A: Simple to solve by sharing a model between both components.
private static class LinkTest extends WebMarkupContainer {
    public LinkTest(String id) {
        super(id);
        IModel<String> contentModel = ()-> /* some function call */;
        AjaxLink<String> link = new AjaxLink<>("link", contentModel) {
            @Override
            public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                target.add(this);
                target.appendJavaScript("alert('"+getModelObject()+"');");
            }
        };
        add(link);
        // .. how to access "content" variable here
        link.add(new Label("label", contentModel));
    }
}

A: an anonymous class can access to the members of its enclosing class. So you might do something like this
private static class LinkTest extends WebMarkupContainer {
     //Here!
     String content;

     public LinkTest(String id) {
        super(id);
        AjaxLink<Object> link = new AjaxLink<>("link") {
            @Override
            public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) {
                content = //... some function call
            }
        };
        add(link);
        // .. how to access "content" variable here
        link.add(new Label("label", Model.of(content)));
    }
}


Sunni Tehreek was established by late Muhammad Saleem Qadri in Karachi, Pakistan in 1990 to safeguard and promote the interests of Barelvi movement in the clashes against the rivals Deobandi and Ahle Ahadith movements during that time . In short, it was formed to safeguard the rights of Barelvis subsiding in the area.
With the passage of time, the outfit lost most of its central leaders as a result of violent encounters with opposition groups (mainly Muttahida Qaumi Movement, MQM), leading to the downfall of the outfit.
In 2009, the current chief of the group, Muhammad Sarwat Aijaz Qadri reinvented the outfit with a new name "Pakistan Sunni Tehreek". Pakistan Sunni Tehreek is also believed to be the political wing of the once "Sunni Tehreek".
Ex Leader of Dawat-e-Islami, Saleem Qadri broke away from his previous organization and formed the new outfit "Sunni Tehreek" in 1990. Muhammad Saleem Qadri was the founder of the outfit and remained the president of the outfit until his death in 1998 by unknown gunmen . No other information is available.
Ejaz Qadri is the current leader and president of Pakistan Sunni Tehreek. He is an active leader and with the help of media, he is continuing the mission of Sunni Tehreek . No more information is available.
Barelvi is a branch of Sunni Islam and has more than 200 million followers throughout South Asia.
The name Barelvi actually comes from the north Indian town of Bareilly, the hometown of its founder and main leader Ahmed Raza Khan (1856–1921). Barelvi movement is to a great extent influenced by Sufism and the traditional folk Islam practices of South Asia. Barelvi Sunni oppose the Deboandi Sunni and consider themselves as the real followers of Sunni Islam and the teachings of prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Sunni Tehreek is funded by Barkati Foundation . No information is available about Barkati Foundation.
according to news Sunni Tehreek is under watchlist (2007)*.
Recruitment sources of the organization are unknown, but they have a student wing Pakistan Islamic Student Wings Federation which is popular in schools and colleges of Karachi, so it is assumed that the student wing plays a role in the recruitment .
Promotion of interests of Barelvi .
Linkages http://www.islamicacademy.org/html/Articles/English/Tableeghee%20Jma%27at-Ahadis.htm , http://www.nooremadinah.net/Documents/Misc/TheDeviantSHIASect/TheDeviantSHIASect.asp , are some links which have been spreading distorted facts about Wahabis and Shias and these links have a connection with the militant organization Sunni Tehreek.
Sunni Tehreek is a militant organization which is considered to be anti Shia . The organization focuses on safeguarding the rights of Barelvis from Deobandis and Ahle Hadith. It has been involved in militant activities as according to a news report, members of Sunni Tehreek killed one person and injured three when they tried to enter and take over the Jamia Masjid Ahle Hadith . The organization also has a student wing Pakistan Islamic Students Federation which is quite active.
Sunni Tehreek was created in 1990 by the late Muhammad Saleem Qadri in order to promote inter of Deoband and Ahle Hadith. Since its formation Sunni Tehreek has made many attempts to take over Ahle Hadith and Deobandi mosques by force in Karachi, which has resulted in violent retaliation from extremist Deobandi groups . The founder of Sunni Tehreek Muhammad Saleem Qadri was assassinated in 1998 .
The message of the organization is to promote Barelvi school of thought and counter Deoband school of thought and their outfits. Sunni Tehreek also has a rivalry with the MQM.
The organization focuses on people with a Barelvi school of thought. They concentrate on the youth as they have their own student wing Pakistan Islamic Students Wing Federation.
Sunni Tehreek uses social media like facebook and twitter to disseminate their agenda. They also have blogs. The websites like sunnitehreek.com and sunnitehreek.com.pk have been proscribed.
This is Sunni Tehreek's main page with 97 likes and some people have also given their comments on this page. To view complete details of the tools being used by Sunni Tehreek click here.

Health News – Grand Jury Finds 50 Priests Raped Hundreds Of Philadelphia Children
Grand Jury Finds 50 Priests Raped Hundreds Of Philadelphia Children
By Rmuse on Sat, Mar 5th, 2016 at 1:37 pm
The wheels of justice didn't turn at all in Philadelphia because the Church concealed the crimes and protected the rapists.
In this column on Friday, a reference was made to the quote from Chinese author Sun Tzu or Sūn Wu in "The Art of War" that says "the wheels of justice grind slow, but grind exceedingly fine." The statement is relatively accurate in the secular world, but is not remotely applicable to religion; particularly the Catholic religion. This is not an indictment of the faith as a whole, but it is a condemnation of the Vatican leadership that allowed pedophilia by its clergy to go unpunished and unreported despite the tens-of-thousands of lives that have been forever ruined.
There will never be any real justice for the victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic priests in and around Philadelphia; at least not in the sense that even one of the 50 serial rapists will ever be punished. In those cases, the wheels of justice not only did not turn slowly, they didn't turn at all because the Church concealed the crimes and protected the rapists. However, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday; "Hundreds of children in western Pennsylvania were sexually assaulted by 50 Roman Catholic priests over four decades while the diocese' Catholic bishops covered up their actions."
Grand jury: Altoona diocese concealed sex abuse of hundreds of children by priests
By Peter Smith / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
ALTOONA — After the tolling of the noon hour Tuesday at the magnificent domed Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, whose towering perch above this historic railroad town reflects the Catholic Church's long powerful presence in central Pennsylvania, the Rev. Dennis Kurdziel left little doubt for whom the bell tolled.
"Pray for the victims," said Father Kurdziel in a somber noontime Mass, held less than two hours after the release of a state grand jury report finding that hundreds of children were abused by at least 50 priests and others associated with the church in the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown across nearly half a century.
"Pray for your bishop," added Father Kurdziel, associate pastor of the cathedral. "Pray for your priests. I need your prayers. Ask for God's help, even on this very ugly day."
And with that, the congregation of several dozen bowed in extended silent prayer before resuming the Mass liturgy.
Across town at the Blair County Convention Center, authorities were releasing a catalog of horrors in a 147-page report by the 37th Statewide Investigating Grand jury, which spent nearly two years delving into the case.

Satanists And Muslims Unite To Do Something Sick To Florida Government
by Chris Reynolds March 6, 2017 9:27 am
For a very long time, we will likely still be dealing with the repercussions of how deeply President Barack Hussein Obama divided our once great nation and corrupted our country's Judeo-Christian values.
Obama, who is from a Muslim family in Kenya, does not regularly attend church and has been recorded questioning the value of the Bible, has succeeded in instilling the values of his depraved worldview into certain segments of American society. Proof of this can be seen in a shocking development in the Florida government system.
According to reports, in meetings of the Lake Worth, Florida City Commission, atheists, Satan worshipers and Muslims have banded together to hijack the invocation that is supposed to ceremoniously start the government planning session.
British anti-ISIS veteran crowdfunds his 3rd 'tour' to Syria
Published time: 13 Mar, 2017
A British former soldier wants to travel to Syria for the third time to help the Kurds fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).
Steven Kerr, from Northamptonshire, hopes to join the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in their on-going assault on the IS capital of Raqqa.
Kerr, a 58-year-old father of two, quit his job as a warehouse manager two years ago to join the YPG on the frontlines of Syria.
Having served in the British Army from 1978 to 1984, he thought that his military background might help the Kurds in their fight against IS.
"I saw the atrocities ISIS were doing on the Kurdish civilians. And I just thought with my military experience I might be able to do something to help," Kerr told the Sunday Times.
Kerr got in touch with the YPG leadership through Facebook and has spent over 11 months in the combat zone in the past two years.
In his first tour, Kerr helped the Kurdish militia to defend a number of villages along the Euphrates, where he was wounded by a mortar shell.
"We used to get mortared constantly, every day and night. You hear the thump of the mortar being fired. Then if you count to 10 and get past 10 you know the round has gone way overhead.
"One night we got to nine and then the side of the building caved in. I got shrapnel in my head, eyes and legs," he said.
After only two months of recovering in the UK, Kerr returned to Syria, where he again fought with the YPG until April 2016.
The former soldier said that despite the periods of highly intensive combat, including the near-constant sniper fire and mortar shelling, he frequently suffered from boredom while on the frontlines in Syria.
"Having to just sit in a village when there's nothing to do, it can grate on you after a while.

Former London currency trader and Conservative Party Councilor Macer Gifford left his high-flying City career in December 2014 to join the fight against Islamic State. Now he's returning to Syria, this time at the helm of his own aid organization.
Although hundreds of Westerners have traveled to Iraq and Syria to join jihadist ranks in recent years, throwing in their lot with Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and other extremist groups, a smaller, yet significant, number have joined the fight against the Islamists.
'Dying in silence': Suffering of Syrian children at its worst, millions under attack, says UNICEF
Published time: 13 Mar, 2017 14:17
There are now nearly 6 million Syrian children suffering from the perils of war, including hundreds who were killed, maimed or recruited to fight in 2016, the worst year on record for Syrian children, a UN watchdog has said.
"The depth of suffering is unprecedented. Millions of children in Syria come under attack on a daily basis, their lives turned upside down,"said Geert Cappelaere, UNICEF regional director for the Middle East and North Africa, speaking from Homs, Syria. "Each and every child is scarred for life with horrific consequences on their health, well-being and future."
At least 652 children died last year, and 255 of them were killed in or near their schools, the UNICEF report said. That signals a 20 percent increase on the number killed during 2015.
"A father in Aleppo lives with the trauma of letting his daughters go to school," Cappelaere said, retelling one of the many heart-breaking stories from the conflict. "They left their makeshift home one morning with their schoolbags on their backs. Only their lifeless bodies returned after a shell slammed into their classroom."
UNICEF also believes more than 850 children were recruited to take part in hostilities – double the number in 2015 – and were used as executioners, suicide bombers or prison guards.
While horrifying, the number pales in comparison to the 5.8 million Syrian children who are dependent on humanitarian assistance – a twelvefold increase from 2012, the organization said.
"Beyond the bombs, bullets and explosions, children are dying in silence often from diseases that can otherwise be easily prevented. Access to medical care, lifesaving supplies and other basic services remains difficult," the report added.
Almost half of those in need were displaced, many of them up to seven times, and over 2.3 million children are now living as refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq.
Child refugees living in relative safety in neighboring countries are still deprived of some basic needs, unable to go to school and forced to beg or do low-paying jobs to make the ends meet, the UNICEF report said.
Unsurprisingly, many children took life-threatening journeys on the so called 'death boats' crossing the Mediterranean to reach Europe.
'Growing up with war': Children of Syria share heartbreaking stories of death, fear & survival
Published time: 13 Feb, 2017 18:32
Six years of war in Syria means many of the country's youngest citizens have never known a time of peace. RT visited the war-torn country to speak to children who are all too familiar with the death and violence that plagues Syria every day.
It is estimated that more than 8 million children have been affected in Syria's ongoing civil war, forced to focus on survival while kids in other countries enjoy carefree days and playing with toys.
Some have stories of dodging bombs and sniper bullets, while others speak of being constantly on the move to escape the violence.
RT's documentary "Growing Up with War: Children of Syria" gives a voice to some of the country's most vulnerable, who recall tragic moments of death, fear and survival.
Ahmad, 11, experienced the tragedy of war firsthand, when a simple trip to the store left him injured by a sniper bullet in 2014.
Sickening: These Popular Foods Still Contain Aborted Fetal Cells Labeled As "Natural"
Vaccines, "beauty products" loaded with chemicals made from unborn babies murdered via legalized genocide
Processed food isn't the only hidden source of additives made using aborted human fetal tissue — many so-called "beauty products" and vaccines are also loaded with aborted baby tissue-derived additives. According to EndAllDisease.com, Neocutis "beauty" products and anti-wrinkle creams are made from aborted male baby cells collected after a 14-week gestation period.
Many vaccines, including Merck & Co.'s MMR II vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, as well as ProQuad (Merck), Varivax (Merck), Pentacel (Sanofi Pasteur) and Havrix (GlaxoSmithKline), also contain derivatives of aborted human babies.

Vaccine News – Dr. Suzanne Humphries, M.D. – Vaccine Strain of Measles Virus Found in Measles
Dirty Vaccines: Every Human Vaccine Tested Was Contaminated With Metals and Debris in New Study
Researchers examining 44 samples of 30 different vaccines found dangerous contaminants, including red blood cells in one vaccine and metal toxicants in every single sample tested – except in one animal vaccine.
Using extremely sensitive new technologies not used in vaccine manufacturing, Italian scientists reported they were "baffled" by their discoveries which included single particles and aggregates of organic debris including red cells of human or possibly animal origin and metals including lead, tungsten, gold, and chromium, that have been linked to autoimmune disease and leukemia.
In the study, published this week in the International Journal of Vaccines and Vaccination, the researchers led by Antoinetta Gatti, of the National Council of Research of Italy and the Scientific Director of Nanodiagnostics, say their results "show the presence of micro- and nano-sized particulate matter composed of inorganic elements in vaccine samples" not declared in the products' ingredients lists.
Lead particles were found in the cervical cancer vaccines, Gardasil and Cevarix, for example, and in the seasonal flu vaccine Aggripal manufactured by Novartis as well as in the Meningetec vaccine meant to protect against meningitis C.
Samples of an infant vaccine called Infarix Hexa (against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and haemophilus influenzae type B) manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline was found to contain stainless steel, tungsten and a gold-zinc aggregate.
Other metal contaminants included platinum, silver, bismuth, iron, and chromium. Chromium (alone or in alloy with iron and nickel) was identified in 25 of the human vaccines from Italy and France that were tested.
GSK's Fluarix vaccine for children three years and older contained 11 metals and aggregates of metals. Similar aggregates to those identified in the vaccines have been shown to be prevalent in cases of leukemia, the researchers noted.
Many of the vaccines contained iron and iron alloys which, according to the researchers, "can corrode and the corrosion products exert a toxicity affecting the tissues".
The researchers supply an image of an area in a drop of Sanofi Pasteur MSD's Repevax (diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio) vaccine "where the morphology of red cells – we cannot tell whether they are human or animal- is clearly visible" along with the presence of "debris" composed of aluminum, bromine, silicon, potassium and titanium.
Feligen, the only veterinary vaccine tested in the 44 total vaccines sampled, proved to be the only sample free from inorganic contamination.
Dirty Vaccines: New Study Reveals Prevalence of Contaminants

Study – New Quality-Control Investigations on Vaccines: Micro-and Nanocontamination
International Journal of Vaccines and Vaccination
Vaccines are being under investigation for the possible side effects they can cause. In order to supply new information, an electron-microscopy investigation method was applied to the study of vaccines, aimed at verifying the presence of solid contaminants by means of an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with an X-ray microprobe. The results of this new investigation show the presence of micro- and nanosized particulate matter composed of inorganic elements in vaccines' samples which is not declared among the components and whose unduly presence is, for the time being, inexplicable. A considerable part of those particulate contaminants have already been verified in other matrices and reported in literature as non biodegradable and non biocompatible. The evidence collected is suggestive of some hypotheses correlated to diseases that are mentioned and briefly discussed.
Parents of children with autistic spectrum disorder report extreme fatigue
Pamela Cowan, Regina Leader-Post
For more than two years, Sarah Elizabeth Ivens was fascinated to work one-on-one with children who have autism spectrum disorder.
"It's amazing how the mind can work differently," she said.
As she got to know the childrens' families, Ivens was struck by the many challenges they juggled and their high level of fatigue.
"Fatigue is a sense of exhaustion that cannot be resolved by getting rest," she said. "It's not just being tired. If you're tired, then you can go to bed early, sleep in and the next day you're feeling better. That's not the case with fatigue."
Fatigue impacts a person's physical and mental capacities.
Ivens completed her honours degree in psychology at the University of Victoria, and is now a PhD student in clinical psychology at the University of Regina.
Her Victoria experience spurred her to take a closer look at parents' experiences for her master's thesis, titled Fatigue in parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: The role of parental and child factors for mothers and fathers.
"We do know from other research that fatigue is problematic for parents in general and that it can really have a big impact on their well-being and their child rearing, which results in less-effective parenting," Ivens said.
Past research focused on mothers. For her thesis, Ivens surveyed 112 parents of children with autism between the ages of two and 12 years, with the average age being seven.
"The kids had been diagnosed three years prior, so this was not families going through the transition of learning to deal with the diagnosis," Ivens said. "These were parents who were doing it for a few years."
Of those answering the online questionnaires for her 2015 study, 78 were mothers and 34 were fathers.
Getting dads involved was important. In many studies, only 10 per cent are fathers, she said.
"I think their answers and experiences are really getting lost in the noise," Ivens said.
According to existing literature, mothers report being more fatigued than fathers, the 31-year-old said.
Her survey echoed that finding.
Merck Created Hit List to "Destroy," "Neutralize" or "Discredit" Dissenting Doctors
By Jim Edwards May 6, 2009
Merck made a "hit list" of doctors who criticized Vioxx, according to testimony in a Vioxx class action case in Australia. The list, emailed between Merck employees, contained doctors' names with the labels "neutralise," "neutralised" or "discredit" next to them.
According to The Australian, Merck emails from 1999 showed company execs complaining about doctors who disliked using Vioxx. One email said:
We may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live …
The plaintiffs' lawyer gave this assessment:
It gives you the dark side of the use of key opinion leaders and thought leaders … if (they) say things you don't like to hear, you have to neutralise them … It does suggest a certain culture within the organisation about how to deal with your opponents and those who disagree with you.
The Australian:
The court was told that James Fries, professor of medicine at Stanford University, wrote to the then Merck head Ray Gilmartin in October 2000 to complain about the treatment of some of his researchers who had criticised the drug.
"Even worse were allegations of Merck damage control by intimidation," he wrote, … "This has happened to at least eight (clinical) investigators … I suppose I was mildly threatened myself but I never have spoken or written on these issues."
The allegations come on the heels of revelations that Merck created a fake medical journal — the Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine — in which to publish studies about Vioxx; had pop songs commissioned about Vioxx to inspire its staff, and paid ghostwriters to draft articles about the drug.
New Merck Allegations: A Fake Journal; Ghostwritten Studies; Vioxx Pop Songs; PR Execs Harass Reporters
By Jim Edwards April 23, 2009
Federal prosecutors in the U.S. will be reading with amusement the Australian press's coverage of a class action trial down under for patients who took Merck's now-withdrawn painkiller Vioxx.
Details emerging in Oz make some of the antics that Merck's American counterparts got up to look tame by comparison. For example, in Australia, Merck allegedly:
Had a doctor sign his name to an entirely ghostwritten journal article even though a Merck staffer had complained that the data within it was based on "wishful thinking."
Created a fake "peer-reviewed" journal, the "Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine," in which to publicize pro-Vioxx articles.
Created a Ricky Martin-style pop song to get Merck sales reps all jazzed up about Vioxx (lyrics below!).
During the trial, Merck has employed an unusually aggressive set of PR consultants, some of whom have even followed reporters into the bathroom to make sure they got the story "right."
Hatched a Blackadder-style "cunning plan" to seed seminars with speakers who were sympathetic to Vioxx but under instructions not to mention the brand name too often.
Regarding the "wishful thinking" study, The Age reports on these emails turned over in the trial:
Email from Merck senior researcher Briggs Morrison, August 2001:
"That seems wishful thinking, not a critical interpretation of the data … The data appears to have been interpreted to support a preconceived hypothesis."
The claim was nonetheless included in the final version of the article, which Merck employees sent to US cardiologist Dr Marv Konstam for approval.
Dr Konstam was named as the article's lead author when it was published in the medical journal Circulation in October 2001
The Australian describes the fake journal. And The Age notes that the journal was "designed to resemble a peer-reviewed publication and reprinted previously published articles."
Merck target of Vioxx federal grand jury probe
Mon Mar 23, 2009
Merck & Co said on Monday that it has been advised it is a target of a U.S. grand jury investigation involving its withdrawn pain drug Vioxx.
The company had previously disclosed the government probe, which has been ongoing since 2004. But it only last week received a letter from the U.S. Attorney's office for the District of Massachusetts informing the drugmaker it is a target of the grand jury investigation, Merck said.
The probe involves Merck's research, marketing and selling activities regarding Vioxx, the once $2.5 billion a year drug that was pulled from the market in September 2004 after a study showed it doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke in long-term users.
Merck said it has responded and will continue to respond to requests from the U.S. Attorney for documents and information in connection with the probe. The investigation includes subpoenas for witnesses to appear before a grand jury, the company has said in securities filings.
The New Jersey-based drugmaker was sued by tens of thousands of former Vioxx users who claimed to have been injured by the arthritis medicine.
After winning the majority of product liability trials that reached a jury, Merck agreed to pay $4.85 billion to settle personal injury claims from former users who had suffered heart attacks and strokes.
Study – Investigating Viruses in Cells Used to Make Vaccines; and Evaluating the Potential Threat Posed by Transmission of Viruses to Humans
Principal Investigator: Arifa S. Khan, PhD
The emergence of pathogenic virus infections like influenza and HIV have created an urgent need for new vaccines.
Virus-based vaccines are made in living cells (cell substrates). Some manufacturers are investigating the use of new cell lines to make vaccines. The continual growth of cell lines ensures that there is a consistent supply of the same cells that can yield high quantities of the vaccine.
In some cases the cell lines that are used might be tumorigenic, that is, they form tumors when injected into rodents. Some of these tumor-forming cell lines may contain cancer-causing viruses that are not actively reproducing. Such viruses are hard to detect using standard methods. These latent, or "quiet," viruses pose a potential threat, since they might become active under vaccine manufacturing conditions. Therefore, to ensure the safety of vaccines, our laboratory is investigating ways to activate latent viruses in cell lines and to detect the activated viruses, as well as other unknown viruses, using new technologies. We will then adapt our findings to detect viruses in the same types of cell substrates that are used to produce vaccines. We are also trying to identify specific biological processes that reflect virus activity.
These methods will enable FDA scientists to help manufacturers to determine whether their specific cell substrate is safe to use for vaccine production. The methods our laboratory are developing and testing will help to ensure the production of safe and effective vaccines in two ways: 1) FDA will be able to develop testing guidelines for manufacturers who use new cell substrates for producing vaccines; and 2) FDA will publish the new methods it develops in peer-reviewed scientific journals, thus making them readily accessible to all manufacturers.
We are also evaluating the risk of retrovirus infections in humans. (Retroviruses are RNA viruses that use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase (RT) to replicate; RNA is the de-coded form of DNA). Simian foamy virus (SFV) can be transmitted from nonhuman primates (e.g., monkeys) to humans. Although there is no evidence that SFV causes disease, the virus can remain in a lifelong quiet state in the DNA after infection. Moreover, two individuals in Africa were recently found to be infected with both HIV-1 and SFV. Therefore, it is important to determine if SFV poses a threat to human health and to understand how the virus spreads in order to create strategies for controlling human infections. Such work will also help FDA to develop a new policy regarding blood donation by individuals working with nonhuman primates and implementing formal safety guidelines for people working with SFV-infected animals. We are also investigating the consequences of dual SFV and HIV-1 infection in the monkey model.

Dr. Suzanne Humphries, M.D. – Vaccine Strain of Measles Virus Found in Measles Outbreaks
Health Impact News Editor Comments
Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a practicing nephrologist (kidney physician). In this lecture (video below), she addresses a study done in Croatia [1] where a child who was vaccinated with the MMR vaccine was tested positive for the measles vaccine strain Schwarz eight days after vaccination.
This was a significant finding, because the child's symptoms were thought to be similar to rubella, and without testing, the sickness would have been possibly mis-diagnosed as rubella, or the wild-type strain of measles the vaccine is designed to protect against.
This concept of "shedding," where the child comes down with the disease from the virus in the vaccine itself, surprised the researchers:
Virus excretion in vaccinees has been reported before, but to our knowledge, this is documented for the first time for the Schwarz vaccine strain. [1]
Since 2010, this phenomena of vaccine shedding with measles in the MMR vaccine has been observed in at least two other studies:
Differentiating the wild from the attenuated during a measles outbreak. Paediatrcis and Child Health, 2012:
In the midst of a local measles outbreak, a recently immunized child was investigated for a new-onset measles-type rash. Nucleic acid testing identified that a vaccine-type measles virus was being shed in the urine. Clinically differentiating measles from a nonmeasles rash is challenging, but can be supported by a thorough medical history evaluation. Rashes are expected to occur after immunization; nucleic acid testing can be used when it is difficult to differentiate between wild and attenuated strains. [2]
Case of vaccine-associated measles five weeks post-immunisation, British Columbia, Canada, Eurosurveillance, 2013:
We describe a case of vaccine-associated measles in a two-year-old patient from British Columbia, Canada, in October 2013, who received her first dose of measles-containing vaccine 37 days prior to onset of prodromal symptoms. Identification of this delayed vaccine-associated case occurred in the context of an outbreak investigation of a measles cluster. [3]
Are health officials testing cases of measles in the current outbreak in the United States, to determine if the measles strain is the wild strain of the vaccine strain?
Not likely, and it is not likely that the mainstream media "TV doctors" will even discuss this as they falsely vilify parents who choose not to administer the MMR vaccine to their children as the cause of these outbreaks. Some of these cases are confirmed to be among those who have received the MMR vaccine, and for those who have not been vaccinated, is it possible they were infected from those recently vaccinated when the vaccine was still "shedding," and that the vaccine-strain of measles was passed on from the vaccinated child to the unvaccinated child?

'Survivor: Philippines' castaway spotlight: Katie Hanson
CBS, Survivor	 September 7, 2012
Sometimes, going far in this game can really depend on just who you start off with in this game; and while we think that Katie Hanson would have probably be the first person off on some of the tribes this season of "Survivor: Philippines," the fact that she will be tied to one Jonathan Penner gives her a little bit of potential to stay around for a while.
But is this former Miss Delaware, who really seems to like bringing that fact up, have a chance at actually winning this game? Read on to find out.
Name – Katie Hanson
Location – Newark, Delaware (go figure)
Occupation – Student
Tribe – Kalabaw
"Survivor" comparisons – If we were going based solely on the beauty pageant history, Ashley Underwood from "Redemption Island" is a good fit because she was desperate to prove that there was something more to her than just pageants; however, her ego (she talks about her own beauty in the video below) reminds us of Sarah Jones from back in "Marquesas."
Strategy – To be honest, we are not too sure she has watched that much "Survivor" (though we at least do give her props for knowing who Danni Boatwright from "Guatemala" is in her CBS bio). However, she doesn't really need that. When you have Penner on your tribe, the best thing you can do is hide behind your target and be quiet making deals. This is what we think that Katie will do, and it should keep her safe for a while.
Strengths – While we are often turned off by beauty pageant contestants having a sense of entitlement on reality TV (which is why we have grown sick of seeing them), Katie at least brings more of a edge and intellect to the table. She comes across as a good social player with a sense of humor, and is in good physical shape for challenges.
Weaknesses – What we worry about with some pageant contestants is that they try too hard to stand out, and thus they can make silly moves in the process. Katie strikes us as someone perhaps a little too desperate to prove herself, in some ways like a superfan would be coming on the show. She needs to take everything back a few notches, while still making sure she comes across as a hard worker around camp.
Prediction – If she was on Mike Skupin or Russell Swan's tribe, we would say that Katie would be an early boot. However, she has a luxury here in that Penner is probably going to be the biggest target in the world early on at the Kalabaw camp, and if she bonds with him he will remain the target while she is free and clear. We don't necessarily know if she will make it to the merge, though, mostly because we have a feeling she is going to try a little too hard and get herself in trouble. Plus, there may be an extra fear of strong women this season after what Kim and Chelsea pulled off last time. If she does make it to the jury, though, don't be shocked to see Katie slide into the top five or so.
How far do you think that Katie is going to go this season? Be sure to vote in the poll below, and click here to see more of the other entries in our castaway spotlight series.

What's your prediction for Katie?
September 9, 2012	@ 3:44 am
She looks like a lot of fun to watch! I think she could be really good at Survivor or really bad depending on if she gets into a strong alliance. I think she could lead an alliance far and doesn't look like a sheep player at all which is exciting. That said, it will also put her out there, and I'm predicting a whole bunch of women going pre-merge due to small tribes of 6. Women will be easy targets in smaller tribes because weaker players all of a sudden become even bigger pre-merge targets.
I am excited for Katie and hope her out-there, confident personality enables her to lead a strong alliance.
P.S. if the women are anything like CHELSEA the men should keep them. Chelsea was nothing but floater, heck Christina did more than Chelsea to get to where she did….

Category: Memory care
'It was a godsend': Watch the video about how Music & Memory helped Sharon Fitzsimond's mother.
Can a song really trigger a memory?
Does music really change a person's mood or behavior?
Certain songs from our youth may have had a bigger impact on us than we realize.
Decades later, these songs can take us back in time and alter our behavior in a positive way.
A study called Music & Memory has found that music can significantly improve the lives of those living with dementia by helping them engage with the world around them.
Reba Dannen
Music & Memory was piloted at Good Samaritan Society – Sioux Falls Village to make a positive impact on the anxiety and behaviors of those living with dementia.
As part of the pilot, activity staff members chose music from the time period when residents were between 16 and 30 years old. Family members also gave music suggestions.
Residents were introduced to the music using headphones and an iPod.
"I would use a splitter and listen with them to see what their reactions were," says Reba Dannen, activity assistant at Sioux Falls Village.
Each person's playlist was then tailored to them.
"Reba has gone above and beyond in how to introduce it to people, trying to individualize," says Administrator Alecia O'Neill.
It's amazing. I don't know how else to say it. I was skeptical. But 90 percent of the people it's been introduced to, it's made a difference in their life." – Reba Dannen, activity assistant
After trying out different listening modes, some residents decided on ear buds, while others liked the headphones or a small individual speaker.
Reba says one of the first residents to try Music & Memory loves it. Her son was able to carry on a full conversation with her — something he hadn't been able to do for nearly a year.
Sharon Fitzsimonds
One resident slept most of the time, says Reba. After the third song, he was up, and wanted to go walk and talk. He always slept through every meal, but the music woke him up and he wanted to eat everything on his plate.
Sharon Fitzsimonds' mother was a resident at Sioux Falls Village and took part in the Music & Memory study before she died. It helped her relax and enjoy her surroundings.
"It was a godsend," says Sharon. "She was like a whole other person. It really calmed her down."
When Alecia walked by Sharon's mom on any given day, she'd see her singing and tapping her toe.
"She was just singing away and just that smile and the relaxed expression on her face. You knew that she was in a good spot," says Alecia.
The team at Sioux Falls Village saw so much positive change in the participants that they decided to implement the program as part of residents' care plans.
Alecia O'Neill
Alecia says that because of the positive results they saw in the first 15 residents, they now go through the neighborhoods in the building to identify residents who might benefit from the program.
Once people are identified, new iPods and equipment are brought in and it becomes part of the resident's nursing intervention. Alecia stresses that Music & Memory isn't just an activity. It's something that can help with behaviors, pain, appetite stimulation and more.
"It's amazing how something so simple can make such a difference in their lives," Reba says. "It's fantastic."
Watch the video below to learn how the Music & Memory program benefits the residents at Good Samaritan Society – Sioux Falls Village.
Learn more about the Music & Memory study
The Music & Memory study, administered by the Center for Long-Term Care Quality and Innovation at Brown University and funded by the National Institute of Aging, ran from January to June 2018 and included three additional non-Good Samaritan Society skilled nursing centers.
A total of 47 residents with moderate or severe dementia were part of the study during the pilot.
The purpose of the pilot was to identify best practices to implement in Brown University's larger Music & Memory study starting in 2019.
During the pilot, staff members were encouraged to use Music & Memory routinely as an alternative to medication when residents exhibited agitated or aggressive behaviors.
If a Good Samaritan Society location doesn't currently qualify for Music & Memory, it can implement its own program. There are grants available, and fundraising can be done to help offset expenses.
Give a gift to the Music & Memory program.

This article is about the former Soviet research station. For the geographic features, see Pole of inaccessibility.
The Pole of Inaccessibility Research Station (Russian: Полюс недоступности) is a defunct Soviet research station in Kemp Land, Antarctica, at the southern pole of inaccessibility (the point in Antarctica furthest from any ocean) as defined in 1958 when the station was established. Later definitions give other locations, all relatively near this point. It performed meteorological observations from 14 to 26 December 1958. The Pole of Inaccessibility has the world's coldest year-round average temperature of −58.2 °C (−72.8 °F).
It is 878 km (546 mi) from the South Pole, and approximately 600 km (370 mi) from Sovetskaya. The surface elevation is 3,800 meters (12,500 feet). It was reached on 14 December 1958 by an 18-man traversing party of the 3rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition. Its WMO ID is 89550.
Equipment and personnel were delivered by an Antarctic tractor convoy operated by the 3rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition. The station had a hut for four people, a radio shack, and an electrical hut. These buildings had been constructed on the tractors used during the traverse, serving as accommodation. Next to the hut, an airstrip was cleared and a Li-2 aircraft landed there on 18 December 1958. The outpost was equipped with a diesel power generator and a transmitter. On 26 December the outpost was vacated indefinitely. Four researchers were airlifted out, and the remaining 14 members of the party returned with the tractors. The station was deemed to be too far from other research stations to allow safe permanent operation, so it was left to be used for future short-term visits only.
The 8th Soviet Antarctic Expedition visited the site on 1 February 1964 and left five days later.
The American Queen Maud Land Traverse reached the Pole of Inaccessibility from Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station on 27 January 1965. The crew were flown out by a C130 on 1 February. On 15 December 1965 a new American crew arrived by C130 to make observations, refurbish the snow cats, and continue the Queen Maud Land Traverse, zig-zagging to the newly installed Plateau Station, where they arrived on 29 January 1966.
The 12th Soviet Antarctic Expedition visited the site in 1967.
On 19 January 2007, the British Team N2i reached the Pole of Inaccessibility using specially-designed foil kites.
On 27 December 2011, during the Antarctica Legacy Crossing, Sebastian Copeland, and partner Eric McNair-Landry, reached the Pole of Inaccessibility by foot and kite ski from the Novolazarevskaya station, on their way to completing the first partial east-west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica of over 4,100 km (2,500 mi).
The station building is surmounted by a bust of Vladimir Lenin facing Moscow. as of 2007[update] it is almost entirely buried by snow, with little more than the bust visible. Following a proposal by Russia to the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, the buried building and emergent bust, along with a plaque commemorating the conquest of the Pole of Inaccessibility by Soviet Antarctic explorers in 1958, has been designated a Historic Site or Monument (HSM 4).

Showa Station , sometimes alternately spelled Syowa Station, is a Japanese permanent research station on East Ongul Island in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Built in 1957, Showa Station is named for the era in the Japanese calendar during which it was established, the Shōwa period.
Børge Ousland FRSGS is a Norwegian polar explorer, photographer and writer. He was the first person in the world to do a solo crossing of the Antarctic.
Novolazarevskaya Station is a Russian, formerly Soviet, Antarctic research station. The station is located at Schirmacher Oasis, Queen Maud Land, 75 km from the Antarctic coast, from which it is separated by Lazarev Ice Shelf. It was opened on January 18, 1961 by the 6th Soviet Antarctic Expedition. The maximum summer population is 70.
Antarctica has various places of worship and an increasing demand for religious services and construction of sacred architecture on the continent. In spite of the famous saying "below 40 degrees south there is no law; below 50 degrees south there is no God" the exploration of the continent was in fact closely connected to religious activities with contributions from many adherents. Some of the early religious buildings are now protected as important historical monuments. Christian buildings are the only religious buildings on the continent.
Henry John R Cookson, FRGS is a British polar explorer and adventurer. On 19 January 2007 he, alongside fellow Britons Rory Sweet and Rupert Longsdon, and their Canadian polar guide Paul Landry, became the first team to reach the southern pole of Inaccessibility (POI) by foot, the last visitors being a research team using tracked vehicles & planes in 1965.
Alain Hubert is a Belgian explorer. He is a certified mountain and polar guide, a civil engineer, the President of the Board and one of the founders of the International Polar Foundation. He is the founder and president of the International Polar foundation. With the Foundation and its private partners, he built and financed the construction of the scientific research station 'Princess Elisabeth'. This station is the first 'zero emission' station in Antarctica, designed under the spirit of the Madrid Protocol establishing in 1992 the strictest environmental rules to date for a continent through the Antarctic Treaty System.
The South Pole–Queen Maud Land Traverse (SPQMLT) was a three-part scientific exploration of Antarctica undertaken by the United States in the 1960s. The three parts, referred to individually as South Pole–Queen Maud Land Traverse I, II, and III, traveled a zigzag route across nearly 4200 km of the Antarctic Plateau in the austral summers of 1964–1965, 1965–1966, and 1967–1968. The participants included scientists from Belgium, Norway, and the United States. Their objectives included determining the thickness of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, the elevation and slope of its surface, the rate of ice accumulation, and the subglacial topography. Other objectives included measuring the density and temperature of the ice at depth, measuring the geomagnetic field and gravity, and obtaining snow samples and ice cores.

Clinical trials of potential cognitive-enhancing drugs in schizophrenia: what have we learned so far?
In light of the number of studies conducted to examine the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS), we critically reviewed recent CIAS trials. Trials were identified through searches of the website "www.clinicaltrials.gov" using the terms "schizophrenia AND cognition," "schizophrenia AND neurocognition," "schizophrenia AND neurocognitive tests," "schizophrenia AND MATRICS," "schizophrenia AND MCCB," "schizophrenia AND BACS," "schizophrenia AND COGSTATE," and "schizophrenia AND CANTAB" and "first-episode schizophrenia AND cognition." The cutoff date was 20 April 2011. Included trials were conducted in people with schizophrenia, the effects on cognition were either a primary or secondary outcome, and the effect of a pharmacologically active substance was examined. Drug challenge, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, or prodrome of psychosis studies were excluded. We identified 118 trials, with 62% using an add-on parallel group design. The large majority of completed trials were underpowered to detect moderate effect sizes, had ≤8 weeks duration, and were performed in samples of participants with chronic stable schizophrenia. The ongoing add-on trials are longer, have larger sample sizes (with a number of them being adequately powered to detect moderate effect sizes), and are more likely to use a widely accepted standardized cognitive battery (eg, the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery) and MATRICS guidelines. Ongoing studies performed in subjects with recent onset schizophrenia may help elucidate which subjects are most likely to show an effect in cognition. New insights into the demands of CIAS trial design and methodology may help increase the probability of identifying treatments with beneficial effect on cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.

Tenet (estilizado como TENƎꓕ) é um filme de ação e ficção científica de 2020, escrito e dirigido por Christopher Nolan, estrelado por John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine e Kenneth Branagh, sobre como evitar a Terceira Guerra Mundial.

A chamada do elenco começou em março de 2019 e as principais fotografias foram tiradas a partir de maio de 2019 nos seguintes países: Dinamarca, Estônia, Índia, Itália, Noruega, Reino Unido e Estados Unidos. O diretor de fotografia Hoyte van Hoytema filmou em 70 mm e IMAX.

Tenet foi para ser lançado pela Warner Bros. em IMAX, 35 mm e 70 mm.

Premissa
Armado com apenas uma palavra luta pela sobrevivência do mundo, o protagonista viaja por um mundo crepuscular de espionagem internacional, em uma missão que se desdobra em algo além do tempo real. Não em viagem no tempo, mas no modeo de inversão.

Produção

Pré-produção
Tenet ficou com o título de produção de Merry Go Round durante a pré-produção.

Elenco
John David Washington, Robert Pattinson e Elizabeth Debicki foram escalados em março de 2019. Pattinson disse que o roteiro era tão secreto que ele só podia ler uma vez enquanto estava trancado em uma sala. O elenco de Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine e Kenneth Branagh foi anunciado no início das filmagens.  Caine ecoou os comentários de Pattinson sobre a confidencialidade do roteiro. Por um dia de trabalho, ele recebeu apenas suas páginas e nunca mais teve notícias de Nolan. Himesh Patel juntou-se em agosto,  com Denzil Smith sendo adicionado no mês seguinte. Martin Donovan foi revelado após o lançamento do primeiro trailer.  Em janeiro de 2020, Sean Avery divulgou seu envolvimento.

O teste de tela de Kapadia foi realizado pelo diretor Homi Adajania enquanto trabalhava no filme Angrezi Medium de 2020. Pattinson baseou os maneirismos de seu personagem nos do autor Christopher Hitchens .

Pós-produção
Ludwig Göransson compôs a trilha sonora como o colaborador frequente de Nolan, Hans Zimmer, comprometendo-se com o filme Duna de 2020.   Jennifer Lame editou o filme, substituindo o editor de longa data de Nolan, Lee Smith. Os efeitos visuais foram realizados pelo DNEG.

Lançamento e marketing
Distribuidora Warner Bros. agendou Tenet para uma estreia em 17 de julho de 2020 nos filmes IMAX, 35 mm e 70 mm. É o quinto filme de Nolan a ser lançado no terceiro fim de semana de julho, que Deadline Hollywood chamou de "uma data de sorte para Nolan", pois seus quatro projetos anteriores continuaram com sucesso nas bilheterias.  Apesar do adiamento de outras películas devido à pandemia COVID-19, Tenet permaneceu inalterada por ordem de Nolan.  Alguns expositores viram sua potencial data de lançamento em julho como "um totem que guia a indústria em direção à sua reinicialização". Em maio de 2020, Anne Thompson, da IndieWire, comentou que "Nenhuma data de lançamento jamais viu a atenção, ou pressão, atualmente colocada no Tenet de Christopher Nolan".

Em agosto de 2019, a Warner Bros estreou um teaser de quarenta segundos antes das prévias de Hobbs & Shaw .  Foi anexado às exibições indianas do Coringa em outubro.  O primeiro trailer foi publicado on-line em dezembro, enquanto um prólogo exclusivo do cinema foi exibido em alguns cinemas IMAX antes de Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker .  O último foi introduzido durante as exibições indianas de aves de rapina IMAX em fevereiro de 2020.  Um spot televisivo parecia que maio,  promovido no Fortnite modo de festa Royale .

Com um orçamento de produção de US $ 205 milhões,  Tenet é o filme original mais caro de Nolan.  O Observador estimou que precisará faturar entre US $ 450 e US $ 500 milhões para se equilibrar.  É relatado que o diretor recebe 20% da receita bruta do primeiro dólar.

O lançamento de Tenet nos cinemas, em meio à pandemia da covid-19, levou o filme a representar um raro fracasso de bilheteria na filmografia de Christopher Nolan, levando a um prejuízo de US$ 50 milhões por parte da Warner Bros. Depois de mais de duas décadas dirigindo filmes produzidos pela Warner, Christopher Nolan desenvolverá sua nova produção em parceria com a Universal Pictures.

Q: nicer typesetting of some subreaction I hope that this question is not a duplicate but I could not find it on this forum. I'd like to typeset a reaction as displayed here:

However, what I got is rather ugly, and my question is whether there are some better options. This is the code to produce it:
    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,graphicx}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{align}
     \pi^+~\to~&\mu^++\nu_\mu\notag\\
     &\,\rotatebox[origin=c]{180}{$\Lsh$}\, e^++\bar\nu_\mu+\nu_e\;.
    \end{align}
    \end{document}

Is there a simple way to have a more reasonable output, i.e. larger arrow which is also closer to \mu^+ ?

A: Here's another option.
\begin{align}
\pi^+~\to~&\mu^++\nu_\mu\notag\\[-.7ex]
& \put(3.5,2.5){\line(0,1){10}}\to e^++\bar\nu_\mu+\nu_e\;.
\end{align}

If you want the arrow to start closer to the \mu you can make the -.7 more negative. Adjust the length of the vertical part of the arrow by changing the 10.

A: You can use the \drsh symbol  from mathabx. Here is how to load it without loading the full mathabx fonts (which would replace  the symbol fonts from amsmath). I also replaced \to with \longrightarrow, and removed the unbreakble spaces. See if it corresponds to what you want:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,graphicx}

 \DeclareFontFamily{U}{mathb}{\hyphenchar\font45}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{mathb}{m}{n}{
<-6> mathb5 <6-7> mathb6 <7-8> mathb7
<8-9> mathb8 <9-10> mathb9
<10-12> mathb10 <12-> mathb12
}{}
\DeclareSymbolFont{mathb}{U}{mathb}{m}{n}
\DeclareFontSubstitution{U}{mathb}{m}{n}

\DeclareMathSymbol{\drsh}{\mathrel}{mathb}{"EB}

\begin{document}

\begin{align}
 \pi^+ \longrightarrow{} &\mu^+ + \nu_\mu\notag\\
 & \drsh e^+ +\bar \nu_\mu + \nu_e\;.
\end{align}

\end{document}


I often tell people that one of the best financial investments I've ever made was hiring a lawn service.
It's actually quite amusing when this gets brought up in conversation because I find often I'm met with stares of judgement!
The truth is I'm young, I'm able-bodied, and my yard is actually pretty small, I can absolutely mow my own lawn. In fact I've mown the lawn for years, I used to own a lawn business!
So why on earth don't I mow my own lawn then?
Listen to today's episode to find out.
The answer will both surprise you AND make you consider stop mowing your lawn as well!

Four years ago, theater artist Ari Laura Kreith founded a theater company to present plays reflecting the multicultural, multilingual lives in her New York City neighborhood of Jackson Heights. It's called Theatre 167, after the number of languages that are spoken in a few square blocks in the Queens neighborhood. VOA's Carolyn Weaver reports on its current play.

Well this is new. I'm all packed. I'm taking a trip for my 30th birthday and it's strange that I won't be with family as I celebrate my birthday. Instead, I'm going to Hong Kong with a good friend of mine, Lou. It's been five years since I've been to Hong Kong. The last time I was there, I was with my friend, Lee-Ann. And it was a good time. For some strange reason, I chose to spend my 30th birthday in Hong Kong this year. But hey, why not, right?
29 has been bananas. 2016 in general, was crazy for everyone but I'd like to think that my 29th year, I guess, was a year of discovery, to a certain degree. There's still so much more I don't know about myself and there's still so much more I want to know. And I hope that this is the year where I start to, I guess, like myself a little more than I usually do. Don't get me wrong, this is not some self loathing post.
I'm very very grateful for everything that's happened to me these past 29 years. I guess I'm just really looking forward to 30s, my 30s and hoping life really does begin then. Not that I haven't been living. Perhaps that I'm more mindful of the way I live and more generous to myself and to others, kinder to myself and to others.
Thanks again to everyone for sticking around. It's been slower than usual on the posting front and the commenting front and i want to say thanks to all of you for being there this past year. Au revoir 29. Hello, 30.
