Saudi Arabian Mining Co (Ma'aden) has began initial production of copper at its joint venture affiliate with Canada's Barrick Gold Corp, the Gulf's largest miner said in a bourse statement.
Maaden Barrick Copper Co, owned equally by the pair, will have an estimated annual production capacity at the Jabal Sayid site of 45,000 to 60,000 tonnes of copper in concentrate, the statement said.
Ma'aden will record the financial impact once commercial production begins, which is expected in the first quarter of 2016, the statement added.
Barrick acquired the Jabal Sayid asset, located some 120 km (75 miles) southeast of Madinah, in the C$7.3 billion ($5.26 billion) purchase of copper miner Equinox in 2011. Ma'aden agreed in July 2014 to buy a 50 percent stake in the project for $210 million.
When Barrick announced plans to form the JV in July 2014, it said the tie-up would get the mine into production in late 2015, but by the formal setting-up of the unit in December 2014, this date was pushed to early 2016.


A willingness to be vulnerable is a significant feature of lasting relationships — ones in which partners are allies, not foes.
The need to form a mutually protective alliance is innate, according to psychoanalyst John Bowlby. This need persists throughout life; the search to be both cared for and caregiver underlies falling in love.
Long-lasting couples manage to keep this vulnerability alive. Each person's awareness of the importance of partnership underlies his or her attentiveness to the other. This "protective love" focuses on the partnership and the ability to put the other first. As parents, they instinctively soothe their children's tears, and in the same way, they are responsive to each other.
Such deep caring comes easily at a relationship's beginning. Lust and novelty keep us attentively glued to each other when we fall in love. It's in the next phase, when routines and irritations set in, that protective love is tested. Deep connectedness — feeling our partner's triumphs and setbacks as our own — is a hallmark of the early stages of love. We are careful with our words and behavior and take care not to wound the other.
Fear of dependence on another. Growing up means becoming strong and standing on our own two feet, which implies independence. We can be reluctant to admit we miss our partner when they're not there. But obeying a rigid script of independent adulthood doesn't allow a close relationship to grow. We can take note of our need for our partner, our disappointment and loneliness when they are away, and give ourselves permission to miss them.
Prolonged stress tests protective love. Taking the long view — using memories of past happiness as insurance for the future — can help. Recalling our original commitment and promises to each other can help love endure the inevitable rough patches.
When John Bowlby's attachment theory was extended to adult romantic relationships, psychologists found that partners in relationships classed as "secure" tend to show low anxiety and avoidance. In other words, they are relaxed about opening up to each other. Research suggests these partnerships allow people to cope better with stress, including the stress of having a child.
Securely attached people tend to have positive views of their relationships, often reporting a great deal of satisfaction in their relationships. They feel comfortable both with intimacy and with independence, seeking to balance the two. When they do feel anxious, they try to reduce their anxiety by seeking physical or psychological closeness to their partner. During difficult situations they seek support, comfort, and assistance from their partner. A secure partner then responds positively, reaffirming a sense of normality and reducing anxiety. This expression of love puts into practice the key elements of a secure partnership: consistency, attunement to the other, and availability when needed.
Thinking about the concept of attachment in your relationship can add new meaning and help you develop a deeper, lasting bond. We all need someone we can rely on in order to maintain a sense of wellbeing. Knowing your partner is encouraging and rooting for you frees you to concentrate elsewhere. Secure and supported, you are able to produce, enjoy and be open to new experiences.

The #Samsung #GalaxyView tablet is no longer a secret thanks to the myriad of leaks that we've come across over the past few days. A new leak coming from a retailer has now revealed two more images of the device, which don't tell us anything that we didn't know already, but gives us a good glimpse of the device nevertheless.
The Galaxy View comes with a 18.4 inch 1080p display, an Exynos 7580 octa core chipset, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage (expandable), a 2.1-megapixel front camera (no rear camera), a 5,700 mAh battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Contrary to what was initially believed, the Galaxy View isn't solely meant to be used for educational institutions and can also be used in your living rooms or kitchens (as depicted in the image above). So clearly, Samsung is targeting a wide range of customers with this offering. Are you excited with the concept being pitched by Samsung here? Sound off in the comments section below.

Politics in a purple state
by Thomas Mills | Apr 18, 2013 | Democrats, Editor's Blog, National Politics, NC Politics, US Senate
Today, The Washington Post asked if Kay Hagan can get away with taking more progressive positions than her colleagues in other Red States, noting that Hagan supported background checks and gay marriage. The short answer is yes. But it's more than just taking risky positions; it's sound politics.
As I've said, North Carolina is a purple state. We have a base of very conservative, older voters in our rural areas and a much more progressive, diverse younger group of voters along the I-85/40 corridor which stretches from Raleigh to Charlotte. To win in 2014, Hagan will need to keep these progressive voters engaged.
The 2014 election in North Carolina will be a low turnout affair with 45% or less of registered voters showing up. With heavily gerrymandered legislative and Congressional districts and no other statewide races on the ballot, Hagan will have little help with turnout operations.
Historically, these off-year elections have followed national trends. Democrat John Edwards won in 1998 and Democrats added to their congressional delegation 2006 even though there was no statewide contest. Republicans won in 2002 and 2010, sending Elizabeth Dole to the Senate and re-electing Richard Burr, respectively. In 2010, in particular, Democrats were disengaged from the election and Hagan can't afford that in 2014.
Hagan's moves have been prudent. With support of gay marriage, she got out in front of a national issue that is gaining support at a remarkable pace. On the background checks, she supported a very modest measure that has broad appeal while avoiding more contentious positions like banning assault weapons. Hagan has shown younger and more liberal voters in urban areas that she shares certain core values with them.
In addition to keeping in touch with her base, Hagan has paid attention to issues that transcend ideology and positioned herself well if she needs to try to localize the election next year. She recently sponsored a jobs fair in a state with high unemployment. She's also fought hard for veterans issues and has been visible at veterans' events. This is particularly important to eastern North Carolina, an area where Democrats have struggled recently that is also home to four military bases and a very large population of veterans.
So far, Kay Hagan has played smart politics. She has offered her base enough to keep them on board and engaged, while holding onto moderate positions that will prevent her from being branded as out of touch with her constituents. She's also paid close attention to local issues like the economy and veterans affairs and been visible in the state, keeping her safe from the "gone Washington" label. By supporting gay marriage and background checks, Kay Hagan not only did what was right, she also did what was good for Kay Hagan.

I Once Had an Enemy
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
~ John 13:34-35
I once had an enemy. We worked together in an office. The owner of the business created dissension between employees by speaking to each of them about the others, behind their backs. I suppose he felt like he was creating loyalty by being on their "side," but what dawned on me was that he was talking about me badly to the other employees, the same way he was talking to me about them. It's not surprising that the employees viewed each other negatively. One of those employees really disliked me. I'd even say, hated me.
It was a bizarre and negative work environment, made all the worse by the fact that the owner declared himself to be a Christian. The fellow who disliked me also identified himself as a Christian, and he and his wife were at a church I had once attended.
I think it might have been resentment over what I was being paid, but I am not certain. The reason doesn't matter. It never matters. In life, we don't always know the reasons. All that matters are the choices we make.
It's rough when someone deliberately tries to harass you. My work requires concentration. I found myself disrespected and slandered, often to my face and in front of other employees. It's the only time I've had a peer treat me this way since, I think, the fourth grade. Nothing I tried made any difference. I had always believed that my enemy in this world was Satan, and I prayed daily for God's strength to resist his attacks. I eventually reached the point where I was praying against Satan's schemes and also this other guy's. My two enemies.
The problem is that, in approaching the situation this way, I found myself growing increasingly antagonistic to him as well. I began to think of him in the worst possible terms. Resentment began to build. I felt myself drifting farther from the Lord. There was no appeal to the owner of the business.
But there was an appeal. It was an appeal to the Holy Spirit. The target of that appeal was my own heart.
We cannot control others. We can only control ourselves. No matter how I am treated, the Lord expects me to love people the way he loves me. That has nothing to do with them. Jesus died for those who were previously the enemies of God. His love was not conditional on how he was treated.
I also think about the Apostle Paul. There was a time when he was the enemy of Christians. But God had a greater plan for his life. As we face people who might have it in for us, it can be helpful to think of them as people who may one day be transformed into servants of Christ. The way we respond to them now, when we are mistreated, may be the very thing that attracts them to Jesus later. Jesus said that everyone would know we were his disciples by our love for one another. We do not reflect who he is, in any sense, if we treat others with contempt.
We are the means by which people experience the love of Jesus. It happens through us. He has gone away for a bit, and has left us to carry on his work. That work is love. The path he walked was one of self-sacrifice, and sacrifice is the greatest example of love that there is. It's not a feeling, it is an action. When we are given offense, we need to put others before ourselves. In the true matters of love, there is no self. If he took the form of a bondservant and humbled himself to death, it certainly means I can at least return hatred with kindness. It's not easy, but I can do it. We can do it.
Lord, help me to love others with you love. Give me your grace to deal with conflict, and your wisdom so that I would reflect you in all I say and do. Amen.

John Barnes: One of the greatest Liverpool players ever to grace the Anfield turf
Ask anyone who the best Liverpool player of all time was, and the answer might well be Kenny Dalglish or Ian Rush, Alan Hansen or Steven Gerrard.
One person who can definitely be counted among such illustrious names is John Charles Bryan Barnes MBE.
In 10 years on Merseyside, he pulled on the famous Red shirt 407 times and scored 108 goals. Today, he celebrates his 56th birthday.
When he arrived in England from his homeland Jamaica as a 12-year-old, he had never even seen snow before. Nevertheless, it wasn't long before he was showing his abundant skill in the youth football scene in London — where he was spotted by Watford manager Graham Taylor.

He was snapped up without hesitation and played a key role for the Hornets over the next six years, acting as a real driving force in their first season in the top flight. They finished second in the league, and Barnes was emerging as a real star of the game.
Kenny Dalglish took notice, and Liverpool parted with £900,000 to bring him to Anfield in June 1987. He set up a goal for John Aldridge within 10 minutes of his debut against Arsenal, and never looked back.
His tremendous skill on the ball and lightning pace meant that he was a real nightmare for any defender. He had the speed and trickery to be a nuisance on the left wing, but his raw power on top made him an irresistible force.
More than that, he became something of a cultural icon. He was one of the first high-profile black players to play for the club. Racial inequality was still rife at this time, so a black man emerging as a star player for one of Europe's most prestigious clubs was a beacon of hope and pride to youngsters everywhere.
His impact on the international stage will have only spread that message further. He earned 79 England caps throughout his career, and had already scored his most famous goal before he moved to Liverpool.
When you consider some of the teams and players to have played at the famous stadium in Rio de Janeiro, to have your strike dubbed "the greatest goal ever seen at the Maracanã" must be a pretty special feeling.
But that's what happened. It was a statement made by a local newspaper in the city after England played Brazil at the hallowed arena. The way he effortlessly dribbled through one of the most iconic teams of all time and found the back of the next goes down in footballing folklore.
⏰ June 10th 1984
On this day 35 years ago John Barnes scored @England's greatest goal ever… against Brazil in the Maracana pic.twitter.com/cGBBJCdZW4
— ITV Football (@itvfootball) June 10, 2019
He continued to play with style and flair for many years, given a free role where he could drift from the left wing at times to create opportunities more centrally. Along with Aldridge and Peter Beardsley, he was an integral part of one of the most exciting forward lines around.
But, as with every great story, along came a storm.
A ruptured Achilles tendon in 1992 meant a lengthy injury layoff and, when he returned to action around his 29th birthday, he no could no longer hit the speeds or run with the same intensity that he used to be able to produce. He had lost his greatest weapon.
A lesser man might have given up, but Barnes instead worked on the other areas of his game and reinvented himself as a footballer. He no longer had the pace required to make a great impact on the wing, but in a central role he had the knowledge and experience to make the Reds tick in midfield — a quality that new manager Roy Evans was only too happy to utilise.

It was, perhaps, a less glamorous role than the one he had fulfilled so admirably before, but he had graduated from labourer to architect. He was Evans' coach on the pitch.
Steve McManaman was now the man on the flank, and Barnes was able to pass on his experience and know-how to the young Scouser. 'Macca' was now his protégé, his body capable of carrying out what Barnes wanted to do, but no longer could.
While his influence on the pitch was waning with age, this was his last gift to the club that adored him. He left the club as captain in 1997 with a bulletproof reputation as one of the best to ever grace the pitch at Anfield.
"Players like John Barnes come along just once in a lifetime," said Sir Tom Finney.
He wasn't wrong.

This post has absolutely nothing to do with books, although it may explain why the number of books I read will drop quite a bit over the next couple of months. After a tough couple of months, I have made one giant life decision: I am leaving London and moving to San Francisco.
The move will be incredibly difficult. I love London and think it's pretty much the best city there is. Also, moving back to the States is not something I had planned on doing for many years to come-I always fear that once I'm there I'll never be able to leave again. But the job hunt is proving to not be going all that smoothly. Yes I've had interviews but I always seem to be reminded that though I do hold British citizenship and have British family, I am just not British enough. I've made some great friends here and have gotten involved in fun activities and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to cope with giving it all up.
However, if I stay in London I must also stay at my parents' house until I find a job. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents, but I've been here for over a year and a half and I am going a bit crazy. It's nice having the security of having somewhere to come home to, to have fresh food every day, and have people that love me around, but at this point it's become all too easy to develop bad habits and settle into the lackluster routines of being unemployed. If I'm on my own, I'll have to push myself harder to find a job because that security will no longer be available.
If I'm going to venture out on my own and try something new it might as well be somewhere I love. Although I have spent a fair bit of time there over the last couple of years, it's still relatively new and exciting to me. I'll be able to go wine tasting, learn how to sail, eat burritos every day, get into trouble with some of my best friends from all walks of life, and will have a much easier time visiting my American friends and family. My recent realization that I do, in fact, like American literature is making this all a bit easier. After a bit of time away, I think I may finally be ready to go back-not necessarily for good, but at least for now.
21 days remain until the big move. I plan to see as much of London as possible over the three weeks and to hopefully not freak myself out over all I have to get done!

Pit bull fights can be tough to break up. You must use extreme caution if you attempt to break up a dog fight, especially when the dogs are pitbulls. While generally good-natured dogs, pitbulls are known for being aggressive fighters and are potentially capable of causing fatal injuries. In fact, their notorious aggression was enough for a device known as a "break stick" to be developed which is used specifically for pitbull fights. The break stick is effective, but other safer methods for breaking up a pitbull fight should be attempted beforehand to reduce the chance of injury.
1 – Clap your hands and shout at the dogs. This can sometimes stop a fight that has just begun.
2 – Pour water on the dogs. Spray them with a garden hose if you have access to one as the high water pressure may be more effective than simply pouring water over them.
3 – Stand behind one of the dogs and grab him by his back legs. Lift his legs — much like you would a wheelbarrow — and pull him away from the other dog. As you step backward, move around in a slow circle so the dog has to side-step with his front legs. This reduces the chance of the dog turning around to bite you. Ideally, you should have another person do the same thing for the other dog in the fight.
4 – Put a break stick in the dog's mouth if he has a tight bite on the other dog. Have somebody else stand behind the dog and grab his hips tightly so he can't run away. Stand to the side of the dog, grab his collar and insert one inch of the narrow end of the break stick behind the dog's molars. Rotate the break stick as you would a motorcycle throttle. As the stick turns, the dog will be forced to readjust his bite, putting his force on the stick rather than the dog. Once you do this, the dog can be pulled away.

Insider: Replacing Deland McCullough could be Tom Allen's toughest task
Zach Osterman
zach.osterman@indystar.com
BLOOMINGTON – Indiana's offensive staff makeover is reportedly now total.
Per a number of reports, running backs coach Deland McCullough is set to leave IU after six years to take the same job with Southern Cal. McCullough was the last offensive assistant held over from Kevin Wilson's tenure, and it now appears he will follow Kevin Johns, James Patton and Greg Frey out the door.
His departure will sting the most, though.
In one sense, it's surprising Indiana has been able to hold onto McCullough this long. Over six years in Bloomington, McCullough tutored and managed four individual seasons of at least 1,000 yards, plus another that came just short of breaking that barrier (Tevin Coleman's injury shortened his sophomore campaign).
Coleman's 2,036-yard season in 2014 set a slew of Indiana records, and nearly put the former Hoosier in the room for the Heisman Trophy presentation. McCullough followed that by taking two backs of near-opposite skillsets to Coleman, Jordan Howard and Devine Redding, guiding them through concurrent 1,000-yard seasons in 2015.
McCullough earned several raises through his six years at IU, a testament to just how effective he was at his job. And the outpouring of well wishes from current and former players on Twitter makes clear how his coaching style was received.
"Coach McCullough is one of the greatest coaches I have ever been around," cornerback Rashard Fant tweeted, "but he is an even greater person!"
The endorsement of an offensive assistant by a defensive player, one voice in a chorus of them congratulating McCullough on the reportedly impending move, speaks to the respect he commanded within the program.
The reasons why McCullough is so well respected are the same reasons he's headed to USC, one of the most storied college football programs in the country. And they're the reasons why his departure will be the toughest one Indiana has to swallow this offseason.
IU coach Tom Allen's decision to move on from Johns and Patton reflected his desire to shake up his staff and tweak the Hoosiers' approach on that side of the ball. Frey's departure will impact recruiting, and his work with Indiana's offensive line was undoubtedly impressive.
But Allen seems to have found a good replacement, at least on paper, for Frey, in Darren Hiller. He will be hard-pressed to replicate that feat if/when he must do the same for McCullough.
Indiana's next running backs coach will inherit a position in some transition. The Hoosiers will spend the spring not just learning a new offense, but breaking in a new starting running back, after Redding elected to leave early for the NFL.
That running back is likely to be Camion Patrick, a player Wilson repeatedly described as one of the most — if not the most — talented player(s) on Indiana's roster. Some around the program believe Patrick so talented that even if Redding, a two-time 1,000-yard rusher, had returned, the one-time junior college transfer might have pushed him for carries.
Still, Patrick remains an enigma, academic issues and then an ACL tear severely limiting his impact over the last two seasons. He showed flashes of talent at receiver last year, but is expected to return to running back, a position he found almost by accident, when he was pressed into service there on IU's scout team in 2015.
However versatile he might be, Patrick is still relatively new to running back. He played it in scout-team situations and practiced there through spring 2016 before suffering that injury. Whoever tutors him this spring will be prepping him as a starter for the first time at a position Patrick is probably still learning.
None of this is meant to suggest Indiana can't replace McCullough. But getting the right replacement is critical, and for a variety of reasons, it will be difficult.

Allergic factors responsible for Asthma
By Yashika Kapoor,Avishek Majumder & Priya Chetty on May 1, 2018
Examination of allergic disease trends around the globe demands an in-depth study on possible risk factors that can lead to this group of diseases. These risk factors could help understand the varying prevalence rates of allergic disorders between countries that have been observed so far.
A risk factor is defined as;
"An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, an environmental exposure, or a hereditary characteristic that is associated with an increase in the occurrence of a particular disease, injury, or health condition" (Dicker, Coronado, Koo, & Parrish, 2006).
For allergies, the risk factors can be divided into two broad categories, host and environmental factors.
Image 1: Different types of host and environmental risk factors
The interaction of different host and environmental factors is responsible for the phenotypic expression of allergies. Environmental risk factors are modifiable either through lifestyle or behavioral changes. However, the host factors, which are inherent individual physiological factors, cannot be changed. In case of environmental factors, they typically play a role in sensitization, which leads to the development of allergic disease. Sensitization refers to the human body's reaction to an allergen in the form of an allergic reaction (Yoo & Perzanowski, 2014). For example, exposures to environmental risk factors like air pollution particulate matter, pollen, certain foods and irritants leads to allergic reactions.
Amongst all the host factors, genetic factors have been found to have the highest influence in developing allergy (Ober & Yao, 2012). Mutant genes and their abnormal byproducts along with epigenetic changes have been found to be associated with allergic manifestations in numerous studies (Holloway, Yang, Rosenwasser, & Holgate, 2011).
These are crucial to develop an understanding of the disease susceptibility. For example, young adults are highly susceptible to sensitization to inhalant allergens. However, with age, this susceptibility has been found to diminish (Halken, 2003). Such genetic factors lead to atopy, where individuals have inherent hyperallergic tendencies.
Genetic host factors
The interplay of multiple genetic factors with the environmental factors impacts the pathophysiology of allergic diseases. The mutant genes inherited by individuals from parents influence the disease susceptibility. The genetically susceptible individuals upon coming in contact with environmental allergens develop the disease. For example, the mutations resulting in loss of function of the gene encoding for filaggrin find the association with atopic diseases (McLean, 2011). Moreover, two independent variants, R510X and 2282del4, have shown a significant association with atopic asthma (Palmer et al., 2006). Scientists have undertaken the comprehensive review of molecular pathways and the genes responsible for pathogenesis. However, specific cellular defects responsible for allergies are yet to be known.
Influence of gender as a factor
The gender-based differences also influence susceptibility to allergies. These differences include the genetic and physio-biological aspects that differ between men and women. These may also involve the difference in environmental exposure to allergens, depending upon socioeconomic status, family roles, the pattern of employment and culture. Thus the gender-based risk factors are divisible into inherent and extrinsic factors.
The biological factors which make the basis for gender difference include hormonal metabolism, immunologic functions, anatomical structure and genetic influences (Setlow, Lawson, & Woods, 1998). For example, It has been stated that females develop stronger immune responses than men, which protects them from infectious diseases. The heightened immunity, however, increases susceptibility to autoimmunity and allergy. Sex difference has also been found to impact the prevalence, severity and incidence of asthma (Laffont, Blanquart, & Guéry, 2017).
Influence of age as a factor
Age factor assumes a significant position with respect to the risk of allergic sensitization and acquiring the atopic disease. The process of aging impacts the bodily functions at both the cellular and systemic level. Also, a range of phenotypic changes in organs and organ system accompanies aging. This causes loss of homeostasis, higher susceptibility to diseases and reduction in the ability to respond to challenges. This remodeling of the immune system and physiological changes increases the prevalence of allergies in aging people (De Martinis, Sirufo, & Ginaldi, 2017).
Environmental risk factors
While genetic factors influence the predisposition of an individual to allergic diseases, they also govern the sensitivity to environmental triggers. With prevalent changes in the environment, changing climate, increased air pollution and exposure to new allergens have led to increased cases of allergy (Jenerowicz et al., 2012). These environmental factors explain the sudden rise in allergies, especially atopic diseases around the globe.
The 'hygiene hypothesis' mainly form a part of the reasoning for environmental exposure resulting in atopic diseases in predisposed individuals (Bloomfield, Stanwell-Smith, Crevel, & Pickup, 2006). These environmental factors are also responsible for differential prevalence and incidence of allergies in rural and urban areas. Some of the most common environmental factors are discussed below.
Allergen exposure
An allergen is any substance capable of triggering an immune response (Blumenthal & Fine, 2014). Common allergens include pollen, dust mites, mold, insect venom, animal dander, medication and various foods. The exposure resulting in sensitization against the proteins found in allergens result in allergic condition. These are divisible into inhaled and non-inhaled allergens, depending upon route of exposure. The genetically disposed of individuals upon exposure, experience IgE and IgG response which result in allergic reactions (Pawankar, Canonica, Lockey, & Holgate, 2011). The tables below show the different type of allergens.
Primary site of exposure
Dispersal
Pollens Nose, eyes Windborne Up to 30% worldwide
Mold spores Nose, eyes Windborne Up to 30% worldwide
Algae Nose, eyes Windborne Rare
Dust and storage mite Nose, lungs Transient after disturbance Temperate zones and farming
Insects Nose, lungs Transient after disturbance Widespread and common
Animal dander Nose, lungs Airborne for hours Common and dependant on exposure
Table 1: Inhaled allergens as risk factors for allergies (Source: Platts-Mills et al. 2011)
The number of particles that are airborne, time spent outdoors, and efficiency of the indoor environment determines the level of exposure to the outdoor allergens. Also, the sensitization reactions are proposed to occur at certain threshold levels.
Table 2: Non-Inhaled allergens as risk factors for allergies (Source: Platts-Mills et al. 2011)
Non inhaled allergens
Primary site of exposure Sensitization
Peanuts, tree nuts, egg, chicken, soy, wheat etc Oral and skin Variable sensitization, up to 4%. No clear relation with exposure
Insect bites, stings, etc.
Hymenoptera Skin and blood circulation
Ticks Skin Locally important
Air pollution tends to act as an adjuvant for the sensitization reactions. The allergic diseases show a high prevalence in industrialized nations and urban areas, where exposure to air pollutants is higher. The pollutants such as ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and diesel exhaust particles are major constituents of air pollution. These particles exaggerate the adverse impact of allergens in allergic individuals (Takizawa, 2011). The studies have also shown a relationship between high pollution levels and mortality rates due to the reduction in lung function (Bayer-Oglesby et al., 2005; Schindler et al., 2009).
Infection as a risk factor
The 'hygiene hypothesis' put forward by Strachan in 1989 concerns infections and allergies (Strachan, 1989). As per the theory, exposure to viral and bacterial infections in early childhood, from unhygienic contact with siblings, may confer protection from the development of allergies. However, infections are also found to be responsible for causing allergic diseases. The study by Holt, Strickland, & Sly, (2012) provides evidence for a synergistic effect of mucosal immune response due to infection and allergen sensitization in causing allergic asthma. Atopic dermatitis has also shown a positive correlation with infectious diseases (Wang, 2015).
The discussion of major host and environmental factors has shown the potential of different risk factors contributing to allergy. However, these factors do not operate in isolation, rather interact with each other in stimulating allergic responses. An individual develops susceptibility towards specific allergic disorders pertaining to as the host factors interact with environmental factors.

This is an excerpt from Careers in Sport, Fitness, and Exercise.
Strength and conditioning coaches have two primary goals. The first is to improve athletic performance, which usually means improving athletes' speed, strength,and power (although specifics vary according to athlete and sport). Conditioning coaches develop systematic training programs for both teams and individual athletes, often working in close association with coaches. This usually includes teaching proper lifting techniques, supervising and motivating athletes as they work out, and assessing their performance before and after the program. The nature of the conditioning program will vary depending on whether the sport is in season or not. During the off-season, conditioning programs can be quite rigorous. In season, conditioning programs tend to focus more on maintaining athletes' conditioning than on improving it. Conditioning programs also vary by sport, and even by position within the sport.
The second primary goal is to reduce athletic injuries. To that end, conditioning coaches often design regimens to strengthen body parts that are prone to injury in a particular sport. Andrew Moser, Strength Coach at Iowa State University agrees, saying, "Student-athletes can have a great training plan that improves their speed, agility, strength, explosiveness, etc., but if we can't keep them healthy and out there competing, then all of the training improvements don't help us." Thus to prevent athletes from getting injured during training, conditioning coaches must know the correct exercise and lifting techniques and be able to teach them to athletes. The conditioning coach also monitors athletes' general health, sometimes providing nutritional advice or referring athletes to a registered dietitian if they need more sophisticated nutritional counseling.
Conditioning coaches usually meet regularly with the team's coaches to determine what individual athletes, or the team, needs to work on in the conditioning facility. If working with an injured athlete engaged in rehabilitation, conditioning coaches will also consult with the sports medicine or athletic training staff to be sure they do not ask the injured athlete to do anything inappropriate in the conditioning facility. Conditioning coaches who work in sport performance-enhancement facilities usually work with other performance specialists. Their client base tends to be younger (junior high school or senior high school students), and they interact often with their clients' parents.
Like any professional, a successful conditioning coach requires the right combination of education, certification, and experience. A conditioning coach should have at least a BA degree, with kinesiology as the ideal major. A master's degree is usually required for college-level jobs. There are many certifying agencies, but there is really only one widely respected certification for strength and conditioning coaches: the CSCS, or Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist offered by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. This certification is virtually a requirement for employment as a conditioning coach.

High court denies accused Ghosn smugglers' bid to stay in US

BOSTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way Saturday for the extradition of an American father and son wanted by Japan in the escape of former Nissan Motor Co. boss Carlos Ghosn.
Justice Stephen Breyer denied a bid to put the extradition on hold to give Michael and Peter Taylor time to pursue an appeal in their case challenging the U.S. officials' plans to hand them over to Japan.
Michael Taylor, a U.S. Army Special Forces veteran, and his son are accused of helping Ghosn, who led the Japanese automaker for two decades, flee the country last year with Ghosn tucked away in a box on a private jet. The flight went first to Turkey, and then to Lebanon, where Ghosn has citizenship but which has no extradition treaty with Japan.
Lawyers for the Taylors argue the men can't legally be extradited and will be treated unfairly in the Japan. Their lawyers told the Supreme Court in a brief filed Friday that the men would face harsh treatment in the Japanese criminal justice system.
"The issues raised by petitioners merit full and careful consideration, and the stakes are enormous for them. The very least the U.S. courts owe the petitioners is a full chance to litigate these issues, including exercising their appellate rights, before they are consigned to the fate that awaits them at the hands of the Japanese government," their attorneys wrote.
U.S. authorities had said they would not hand the men over to Japan while their bid for a stay was pending before Breyer, an attorney for the Taylors said.
Michael Taylor said in an interview with The Associated Press that he feels betrayed that the U.S. would try to turn him over to Japan after his service to the country. Taylor refused to discuss the details of the case because of the possibility that he could be tried in Japan, but he insisted his son had no involvement.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston refused Thursday to put the extradition on hold, finding that the Taylors are unlikely to succeed on the merits of their case. The Taylors have been locked up at a suburban Boston jail since their arrest last May.

The Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) is a non-profit yoga and healing centre in Chennai (Madras), India. Founded by TKV Desikachar in 1976, the central work of the KYM is to bring health and wellbeing to others through the healing practice of Yoga Therapy based on the teachings of Yogacarya Sri T.Krishnamacharya.
From a single-room facility it has grown to a multi-department institute, including: Yoga Thearapy (Cikitsa), Yoga Studies, Research, Publications, Vedic Chanting (Vedavani) and KYM-Mitra, a philanthropic organization that brings the healing benefits of Yoga to the economically and socially underprivileged and the differently-abled.
The KYM's newest department is Research, where teachers are using scientifically approved protocols to study the effects of appropriate Yoga on health and wellbeing.
Ante Pavlovic is an author, senior teacher and yoga therapist in the lineage of yoga master T.Krishnamacharya.
He lived in Chennai, India for many years, where he had the privilege of studying directly with TKV Desikachar, the son of Krishnamacharya.
While in India, he completed a one year Yoga Therapy internship as part of the teaching faculty at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM), a centre renowned worldwide for healing and education. He was part of the first batch of international students to be officially certified as a Yoga Teacher, as well as Yoga Teacher Trainer in the lineage of Krishnamacharya.
His ongoing dedication to this lineage continues at Yoga Therapy Toronto, a centre for therapy and education, located in Toronto, Canada, since 2005. Along with his partner Felicia, he continues to train hundreds of yoga teachers and yoga therapists.
In 2019, Ante published an illustrated encyclopedia on yoga postures, titled 'Classical Yoga Asana'.
Felicia Pavlovic holds an Hon.BA (UofT), OPC Diploma in Psychology, is a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and Yoga Therapist.
Felicia has received her Yoga Therapy education over many years and thousands of hours of direct annual studies (in the lineage of T.Krishnamacharya and TKV Desikachar) in Chennai, India since 2004.
Also, she has completed extensive studies in Ayurveda, both in Toronto and India.
She co-owns and co-directs Yoga Therapy Toronto since 2005. Also, she is part of the faculty at a psychotherapy school in Toronto.
Her life's work is to share the tools she has learned in Yoga and Psychology. As both a psychotherapist in private practice and a yoga therapist, she adapts the tools of both modalities to serve the needs of the individual.
'Sir' TKV Desikachar (1938 - 2016), as the son and student of Sri T Krishnamacharya, spent nearly thirty years of his adult life studying (and living) with his father. This long, live-in internship, combined with 45 years of teaching experience, made Sir Desikachar one of the most respected Yoga teachers of modern times.
Author of numerous books, including The Heart of Yoga, and Health, Healing and Beyond, Sir Desikachar worked tirelessly to promote the healing power of yoga and was a recognized expert in the therapeutic application of yoga.
In 1976, to honor his teacher and father, Sir TKV Desikachar established the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandriam (KYM) and under his guidance it developed into an important teaching and therapy center that taught students and patients from all over the world and India.
Dr. NC is an active practitioner of allopathic medicine for over 25 years. His deep inquest into Vedanta brought him to the study of yoga. He did his diploma in Yoga at the KYM (1990– 1992), where he was introduced to the therapeutic potentials of yoga. He has been a yoga teacher and therapist for over eighteen years, including being the Director of Yoga Therapy at the KYM for almost a decade.
With his deep knowledge of western allopathic medicine combined with his vast experience as a Yoga Therapist, he has done private consultation and designed individual therapy courses for more than ten thousand people suffering from a whole range of health issues.
Dr. NC is the founder of Yoga Vaidya Sala and is currently publishing a series of volumes on Yoga Therapy, as well as leading Yoga Therapist trainings around the world.
After completing two post-graduate degrees (in Psychology and Nutrition) from the University of Madras, Saraswathi was one of the very first to receive a Diploma in Yoga from the highly regarded KYM Institute of Yoga Studies in Chennai, India.
For over 16 years she served as a yoga teacher, therapist, consultant and teacher trainer at KYM. In addition, as the former head of the Research Department at KYM, she has also spearheaded a government sponsored research study on Yoga & Epilepsy.
More recently, Saraswathi founded Yoga Vahini in Chennai, India and has been teaching and training yoga teachers, teacher trainers and trainee therapists both within India and abroad. She is also trained in the art of facilitation and has been working with expert facilitators all across India.

Q: FileNet P8: Add content to existing document without change ID We have a process that adds documents to Filenet P8, but without content elements, that is, the document is created in the corresponding document class along with its properties, but it does not have any content element associated with it.
Subsequently, we have another process that, given the document identifier described above, adds the content to it. The only way that we have found to perform this functionality is by versioning the document, passing, for example, from version 1.0 to version 2.0.
This would not be a problem except that the new version 2.0 has a different document identifier than the first step, becoming the current version of the document and deprecating version 1.0.
This change of unique identifier between version 1.0 and version 2.0 has an impact on many of our systems in the way they currently work and, before undertaking further development, we wanted to ensure that there is no way to add content to a document without generating a new version and therefore a different identifier.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
Differents checkout options, fetchinstante(), getinstance()...

A: Unfortunately FileNet works as you described above, it is not possible to change the content of a document without the creation of a new version. Therefore usually the version series identifier of a document is used in the situation you described above. This identifier will remain constant accross all the versions of the document.
There is also an alternative solution. In that scenario the first process will create the document and sets the property values, but is will not perform a checked in on the document. Given the correct permissions, the second process can update the content of the document and perform the checkin. This approach will also limit the number of versions created during the whole proces.

no one seems to have mentioned anywhere yet, this instance is required before you can queue for random DS heroics. I've tried it on a few of my toons, and same result each time. Not sure if the first day, everyone just queued for the one instance only, and it worked for them, but is not the case now.
End Time is a heroic only dungeon, and therefore it is not possible to do in normal mode. You must first do the other two dungeons Hour of Twilight and Well of Eternity before unlocking this dungeon.

Is a public administration degree worth it?
What can I become if I study public administration?
What does MA mean after your name?
What are the careers in public administration?
How valuable is an MPA degree?
What can you do with a PhD in public administration?
While studying Public Administration you will develop the leadership and management skills. You will be taught how to manage people efficiently and how to inspire them for the productive work. You will learn how to be a leader and how to transfer tasks to other workers.29
The MBA is not a professional designation like a PhD or an MD. If you put MBA after your name, it just looks like you're trying too hard to impress people. In closing, unless you really want to grind my gears, NEVER use "MBA," "M.B.A," "Master of Business Administration" etc… in your title.18
The choice of whether to use all of your degree credentials is a personal one. In most cases, one should list the lowest to the highest degree earned, such as "Mary Smith, M.S., Ph. D.". The preferred method is to list only the highest academic degree, for example, only the Ph.
Defining the MPA is quite difficult and very few people truly understand it. One of the reasons for this is that not many people hold the degree because people often choose the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. Secondly, the degree is so broad that it can be difficult to really give it a definition.
While most people who pursue an MPA aren't doing it as some kind of cash grab, it can lead to lucrative positions. Instead, the degree prepares you for higher-level leadership roles. No matter what sector you're in, generally speaking, the higher your level, the higher your salary and compensation.
Here are some of the most popular and hunted jobs in Public Administration:
Tax Examiner.
Budget Analyst.
Public Administration Consultant.
City Manager.
Mayor.
International Aid/Development Worker.
Fundraising Manager.
Career Options in Public Administration
Business Administrator.
Executive Assistant.
Foreign Correspondent.
Foreign Service Officer.
Fundraiser.
Government Relations Manager.
Human Resource Specialist.
Immigration Officer.
However, earning your master of public administration will absolutely help you earn a higher salary. According to PayScale, the average MPA salary is $65,000 per year.

The off-field troubles continue to mount for San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Aldon Smith.
Police in San Jose arrested Smith on Friday morning on suspicion of DUI after a single-car accident around 7 a.m. Smith was not injured, and was taken to Santa Clara County Jail.
According to online jail records, Smith is currently being held on $5,250 bail, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in question.
"The 49ers organization is aware of the matter involving Aldon Smith," the 49ers said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. "As we continue to gather information regarding this situation, we will have no further comment."
The arrest was first reported by CSN Bay Area.
This is Smith's second arrest on a drunken driving charge, though charges from his January 2012 arrest in Miami Beach were reduced to reckless driving. The NFL typically does not punish players for a first DUI, but a second arrest could trigger a two-game suspension, like the one the NFL recently slapped on Minnesota fullback Jerome Felton.
Smith, along with former teammate Delanie Walker, was sued last month by a man who says he was shot in the leg at a party thrown at Smith's San Jose home. No criminal charges have been filed in that case.
Smith, 23, has 37 sacks including 3.5 this year, since he was drafted at No. 7 in 2011.
