A memorable dining experience is not just about the food – something Jayden Barker is all too aware of.
Having taken Gold Coast diners to new heights with Nero Dining in Broadbeach, this young Chef recently opened his second restaurant Frederick's in Nobby Beach and has big plans for both in the next five years.
Father, Andrew Barker, and son, Chef Jayden Barker, head up the team at Nero Dining, Broadbeach QLD.
"Ultimately, I want to develop the ability to pair food with wine better than anyone else," he says.
"That is the direction I am headed, and I really want to push myself to learn more about wine. To get a really good dining experience you need to know what the wine can do to the food and [what] the food can do to the wine.
Veal tartare with pecorino, mushroom, beach mustard and gnocchi fritto at Nero Dining.
Under the watchful eye of Jayden's father Andrew – who runs front of house and the sommelier duties at Nero – the restaurant has been the busiest in 2018, since it opened in 2016.
Roasted Mackerel with buttermilk, dill and fennel at Frederick's.
Jayden always wanted to have a degustation restaurant, plating up eight courses showcasing incredible dishes, but says for that to be successful on the Gold Coast, you need to build up your clientele first.
"Since day one to now, our food has grown into something we are really proud of. It is different, really well-crafted, using lots of fresh ingredients. We want to keep upping the quality – making nicer dishes using nicer ingredients – to make sure people who walk through the door are comfortable being there and with the menu.
A recent addition to Nero's offerings is Jayden's take on a jam doughnut, which having tried myself I can honestly say is delicious. Duck is served two ways on the plate; a perfectly cooked breast and the leg is sandwiched in a brioche bun between a layer of housemade blueberry jam and fennel cream.
Jayden's describes his culinary style as Modern Australian and says he doesn't like to tinker with things too much or put too many ingredients on the plate.
"I really like smoky, barbeque style food – anything cooked over the coals. [Last year] has been all about cooking with coals and anything on bread, while [this year] my go to ingredient is nduja. We love it – people are a bit scared of what it is but once they eat it, they become obsessed with it.
Still 100% on the pans at both restaurants, Jayden says his vision for the future is for both his restaurants to be Chef hatted and his staff to be happy.
With that attitude and vision, there are certain to be more restaurants in Jayden's future, serving innovative and creative fare and great wine.

Moulay Hafid Elalamy, Moroccan Minister of the Industry, Commerce, Investment and Digital Economy and Pierre Boulet, Novares CEO
On September 19, 2018, Novares opened its first production plant in North Africa, in Kenitra, Morocco.
The move is part of Novares' global expansion, coming just one year after Mecaplast-Key Plastics rebranded as Novares and following the opening of new plants in Mioveni, Romania and Chihuahua, Mexico. First Novares plant in North Africa, the new factory is in Kenitra, Morocco only 15 km from the newly-opened PSA facility and close to the Renault facility in Tangier, confirming Novares' commitment to offer global proximity to its customers.
Novares could rely on the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) who granted a loan for the construction of the building, new equipment and machinery. This is in line with the EBRD strategy to support actively the automotive sector in Morocco.
This new 10700 m² facility, equipped with a painting zone with a clean room and a clear coat application line, is producing complete solutions for automotive customers using plastic injection and clear coattechniques. The components and systems produced will be engine components such as air filters and acoustic covers, along with exterior parts such as pillars, mudguards, roof bars and under covers and interior parts such as Instrument Panels components.
The Novares Kenitra plant currently employs 70 employees, with plans to increase that number to 140 in 2019, and up to a total of 225 employees by 2020. The targeted turnover of this Moroccan subsidiary will represent approximately 3% of the Novares global turnover.
Moulay Hafid Elalamy, the Moroccan Minister of Industry, Commerce, Investment and the Digital Economy, underline that "this investment, which contributes to the development of the plastic injection industry for the automobile sector, involves a complete chain, from plastic injection to the delivery of the finished product. It is thus in line with the industrial strategy aimed at deeply strengthening the integration of the sector."
"I am pleased to see the Kenitra plant launch taking place. With this third plant opening in a year, we affirm our growth strategy and expansion ambition, because we believe global proximity is what our customers' request – complete solutions for pragmatic service and more responsiveness" says Pierre Boulet, CEO of Novares.

As part of my journey to Tokyo, I had an opportunity to take a side trip to work remotely in Dubai. Once I arrived, I started my research into what Dubai offered in terms of coworking and shared workspaces. There are a number of options, however, I did discover something new. There was a coworking space in a hotel!
The Tryp by Wyndham opened NEST which was only about a 20 minute metro ride from where I was staying. I reached out to the space and was invited to drop in for the day to experience what the space had to offer.
Why should you work in NEST?
Easy. I decided to work out of NEST because it was the first hotel with a coworking space that I had experienced. I have always thought that there were a lot of interesting benefits that hotels could provide coworking and vice versa.
Coworking in a hotel has some interesting possibilities!
When I arrived at the hotel, I wasn't sure exactly where to go.I talked to the lady at the front desk and she directed me to the elevators.
There is definitely a benefit to having staff available at anytime of the day or night. Cher and the team at NEST were in the space ready to give me a tour.
The office and flexible workspace looked great!
NEST has all of the basics of a coworking space. There are many different nooks and quiet spaces to have meetings and get work done along with phone booths, lockers, conference rooms, and of course fast WIFI and tasty coffee.
Best of all, you are also able to take advantage of the amenities of the hotel.
This includes food from the hotel kitchen, access to the pool and gym, and even a discount at the restaurant.
There are many advantages of a shared workspace in a hotel that would bring me back here.
The community and space managers were helpful and maintained the space in a wonderful way. They had obviously had hospitality training and there was an operational process in place to keep things running smoothly. All of the basics were done well and having access to the hotel amenities was a huge plus.
One challenge for me was a difficulty in getting a vibe for the space since I was only working out of this space for a day. However, I did meet a few people and found it interesting that most people that worked here were expats in Dubai as well.
When I am back in Dubai, I would definitely be back and would like to take advantage of one of their packages which includes a discounted stay in the hotel with the ability to work out of the NEST coworking space.
In the meantime, be sure to check out the rest of the workspaces I have worked out of during the last few years of working remotely from around the world.
Where should I work out of next? If you want me to come to your space or city and cover what flexible and shared working looks like, let me know.

Long UV radiation exposure can result in damages of biological tissues, as burns, skin aging, erythema and even melanoma cancer. In the past years an increase of melanoma cancer has been observed and associated to the atmospheric ozone deployment. Attendance of sun tanning unit centers has become a huge social phenomena, and the maximum UV radiation dose that a human being can receive is regulated by law. On the other side, UV radiation is largely used for therapeutic and germicidal purposes. In all these areas, spectroradiometer and radiomenter are needed for monitoring UVA (315-400 nm), UVB (280-315 nm) and UVC (100-280 nm) irradiance. We have selected some commercial photodiodes which can be used as solid state detectors in these instruments. We have characterized them by measuring their absolute spectral response in the 200 - 400 nm spectral range.

Space weather monitoring boost
Science News Saturday 27 June 2020
The UK's ability to predict solar superstorms and other severe space weather events is to get a significant boost with the launch of a major research project involving Leeds expertise.
The research is part of the £20 million, four-year SWIMMR (Space Weather Instrumentation, Measurement, Modelling and Risk) programme, funded by UK Research and Innovation and designed to deliver improved monitoring capability to the UK's Met Office.
As part of this programme, Leeds is working on a £3.7m effort to better understand the Earth's upper atmosphere.
Turbulent space weather, largely caused by radiation, energetic particles and plasma emitted by the Sun, can cause huge disruption on Earth.
While the Earth's magnetosphere – a powerful magnetic field that surrounds the Earth in the upper atmosphere – protects us from day-to-day space weather, extreme events can overcome this planetary defence with potentially severe consequences.
Risks include widespread and long lasting power cuts, disrupted satellite, GPS and radio communication technologies, and air passenger and astronaut safety.
Extreme space weather has been included in the Government's National Risk Register – an overview of the key emergencies which could cause significant disruption in the UK – since its 2012 update.
"Our state-of-the-art global models will be used to improve space weather monitoring capability."
Professor Dan Marsh, Priestley Chair in Comparative Planetary Atmospheres
Leeds expertise forms part of a University of Birmingham-led consortium drawing together other UK experts in upper atmosphere modelling from Lancaster University, the Universities of Bath, Leicester and Southampton and the British Antarctic Survey.
The technology is capable of predicting space weather with unprecedented speed and accuracy, monitoring the density, winds and temperatures of chemicals in the Earth's atmosphere and triggering warnings when there are likely to be impacts on services and infrastructure.
The first project will explore ways to deliver effective monitoring of the ionosphere, the charged part of the Earth's upper atmosphere. This region can disrupt communication with aircraft and render GPS positioning systems inoperable.
The second project will investigate the thermosphere, the neutral part of the Earth's upper atmosphere, which affects the orbits of satellites which, without suitable modelling, can result in satellite collisions.
By the end of the grant the developed models will be deployed operationally at the UK Met Office.
The University of Leeds will bring its experience in whole atmosphere modelling to improve the prediction of variability in the ionosphere and thermosphere.
Professor Dan Marsh, Priestley Chair in Comparative Planetary Atmospheres at Leeds' Priestley International Centre for Climate, is leading Leeds' contribution to the project. He said: "Space weather is influenced not only by the Sun, but by weather in the Earth's troposphere that causes variability throughout the atmosphere. Our state-of-the-art global models, which reach from the surface to the edge of space, will be used to improve space weather monitoring capability."
"Observations of the ionosphere show changes related to such things as the occurrence of large-scale deep convection in the tropical troposphere," added Professor Marsh, who is based in Leeds' School of Physics and Astronomy.
"We hope to improve the prediction of satellite drag and disruption to communications by including previously-omitted lower atmosphere effects such as this in the forecast system."
Announcing the wider SWIMMR programme, Science Minister Amanda Solloway MP said: "Satellites are fundamental to our everyday lives, underpinning technologies we constantly rely on from mobile phones to GPS. Any disruptions caused by space weather can therefore have a profound impact on businesses and individuals.
"These fantastic projects that we are backing today will enhance the UK's ability to forecast space weather, enabling our excellent national weather service to defend the technologies we all depend on."
Dr Sean Elvidge, from Birmingham's School of Engineering, said: "The expertise we've developed puts us in a great position to make a really significant contribution to the UK's space weather forecasting capabilities. Only by providing sufficient advance warning, and having robust plans in place for reacting to an extreme event, can we be confident of minimising disruption – and possibly averting disaster."
Simon Machin, Space Weather Programme Manager at the Met Office, said: "We are very excited by the prospect of working with the crème of UK science and academia on the SWIMMR projects.
"SWIMMR will deliver a step change in UK space weather monitoring, warning and prediction capability by supporting pull-through of cutting-edge science into operational services.
"This will enable the Met Office to provide a greater range of more accurate services driven by the needs of users and underpins the UK's strategic aims to grow and exploit opportunities in the space domain. SWIMMR communicates a clear vision of cementing the UK as a world leader in space weather and our thanks go out to all partners and stakeholders for supporting this programme of work."
The funding forms part of the Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF), delivered by the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) to drive an increase in high quality multi- and interdisciplinary research and innovation.
The programme is a collaboration led by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) with Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and supported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Department for Transport and the Ministry of Defence. The programme has been designed in close association with the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre (MOSWOC).

Chances are, if you've shopped for any kind of light bulb recently you've noticed that there some new offerings among the usual selection of bulbs and lamps that line the shelves of your local hardware store. Where the available variety once consisted of simple incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes of various wattages, we are now seeing some unusual additions of a wholly different nature. Typically labeled as energy saving or extreme long life lamps, these bulbs are appearing in ever greater numbers and present a sometimes confusing array of shapes and sizes that can often bewilder the average person who may be unfamiliar with them. Although they may initially appear as strange or even foreign, these new lights are in reality the next generation of lighting that will soon completely phase out the original incandescent bulb.
So why are these lights slowly taking over the shelves at our favorite stores and why should we accept them into our homes? After all, the humble light bulb and the familiar fluorescent tubes we have been using in our homes and businesses our entire lives work just fine don't they? So why the change?
To better understand what is going on and why these new lights are slowly replacing the simple incandescent bulb, it's necessary to understand a few of the basics about lighting and what sets some of these new lamps apart from the rest.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, approximately 11% of the average homes electrical costs are due to lighting. Schools, stores, and businesses use about 60% of their electrical energy producing illumination. In the United States, over a third of our national energy consumption goes towards producing illumination in our cities, homes, and businesses. Estimates for the national cost of producing lighting energy alone are within 40 to 60 billion dollars annually. The costs for producing all this energy are predicted to continue rising at an alarming rate even as more and more countries adopt energy efficiency policies aimed at curbing energy consumption.
As well as the demands for energy, the emissions created by producing that energy also continue to rise, leading to worldwide concerns about the effects this has on our environment. Greenhouse gases and environmental pollutants are direct products of energy production and as the needs for energy grow so will the production of these pollutants. Changes in how we produce energy alone will not be enough to meet emissions control requirements in the future and it has been recognized that reducing the need for energy will be one of the most significant ways to reduce emissions.
To meet the goals dictated by the need for reducing energy consumption the most promising path has been one of finding ways to use the energy produced in more efficient manners. Everything from automobiles to kitchen appliances are being developed with energy efficiency as a priority and yet one of the simplest ways to reduce energy consumption across the board has until recently been largely overlooked. With up to a third of energy usage in the United States going towards producing illumination, recent developments in lighting technology have begun to take center stage. New developments in lighting technology have produced lamps that far surpass the traditional incandescent in both energy efficiency and light quality and are now being recognized as an effective way to drastically reduce the usage of energy and its cost.
Most notable among the advancements today are LEDs or "Light Emitting Diodes". Through a process called electroluminescence, light emitting diodes have the potential to produce light far more efficiently than any other type of illumination source available today. Already current LEDs are surpassing incandescent light bulbs in both light quality and efficiency and the most advanced LEDs can rival or even surpass energy efficient fluorescent tubes. Incandescent bulbs, because of the way they produce light through electrical resistance, are very inefficient sources of light. Up to 90% of an incandescent bulbs energy is wasted as heat created by the electrical resistance of the filament, making them more effective as heaters than as sources of illumination!
An incandescent bulb produces approximately 15 lumens of light per watt while quality LEDs in contrast produce 60 or more lumens per watt. This equates to a lot more light being produced with a great deal less energy. While a 60 watt incandescent will produce 900 total lumens, an LED of only 15 watts can produce the same amount. That's ¼ the amount of energy for the same amount of light. Lights like the Larson Electronics 30 Watt LED PAR 38 Spot / Flood Light can exceed the light output of a comparable 150 watt incandescent while drawing only a fraction the amount of energy. In industrial and commercial business, lamps like the Larson Electronics Par38 Spot/ Flood light are an ideal choice for companies looking for explosion proof lighting and industrial grade lamps that are extremely durable and long lived, yet will also help their businesses to bring down operating costs through energy conservation. For a business that spends $450,000 on lighting, switching all their lighting to LEDs could theoretically cut their lighting costs by 50%+, resulting in net savings of $250,000 or more!
Because of their high efficiency and long life, and the increasing demands of energy conservation, LEDs have become the leading contender for an energy efficient replacement of the standard incandescent bulb. The U.S. department of energy estimates that switching all of the traditional bulbs in a home with high efficiency lamps can reduce the lighting costs of a home up to 75%. If introduced on a national scale, the potential for energy savings are considerable. It's been estimated that if every home in the U.S. switched only one incandescent bulb in their home to a high efficiency lamp, enough energy would be saved to power an entire large city. Imagine the savings if every home switched every bulb for an LED unit.
Although LEDs are extremely efficient and very durable since they contain no filament in their construction that can break or burn out, many people are still leery of using them in their homes. The biggest concerns with LED's center on the initial cost of the bulbs and the color and quality of the light they create. While LEDs made five years ago may have had some legitimate problems, the LEDs of today have for all intents overcome them. Increases in light output and new bulb designs have resulted in LED's that can produce light almost indistinguishable from the light produced by incandescents in both color and quality. While LEDs remain initially more expensive to purchase, their extremely long life span which averages 25,000 to 70,000 hours, and their high efficiency, allows the bulbs to pay for themselves within a year or two of being installed. It would take anywhere from 7 to 10 incandescent bulbs to equal the lifespan of an LED. That's ten years of life from one LED bulb. Added together, the savings in replacement costs alone demonstrates their cost effectiveness while their energy efficiency represents even more savings from lowered energy bills. With no more effort than it takes to change a light bulb or fixture, both homeowners and businesses can make serious reductions in their energy consumption that will bring savings on their energy bills for years to come.

"Sea Slumber Song" is a 19th-century poem by Roden Noel set to music by Sir Edward Elgar as the first song in his song-cycle Sea Pictures (1899).

Lyrics

The poem here is as sung in Sea Pictures.

Italicised text indicates lines repeated in the song but not in the original poem.

Elgar's setting
The sea's lullaby ("I, the Mother mild") is evoked by bass drum and tam-tam and strings repeating a phrase that reappears later in the song cycle. At "Isles in elfin light" the music changes key to C major before returning to the oceanic theme.

Elephant tranquilizer carfentanil causes first death in Chicago area
by: Dina Bair
CHICAGO — Addicts and occasional opioid drug users take risks with their lives, but many don't even know they are taking this new drug.
Experts say this is the first time they've seen it. It's amazingly powerful and deadly within seconds.
It is called carfentanil — it is 10,000 times more potent than morphine.
"These are drugs that work similar to morphine but carfentanil is one of the drugs in the synthetic class, meaning it's man-made," said Dr. Steven Aks, Stronger Hospital, Emergency Medicine and Toxicology.
Drug dealers are manufacturing their own version of a painkiller used by veterinarians to immobilize elephants. In people, it leads to instant death.
"It's really like a ticking time bomb because it's so potent. If someone thinks they are getting something else, like just straight street heroin for example, its being so much more potent, they're likely to stop breathing and die," Aks said.
A 35-year-old Lake Zurich man became one of the first victims in Cook County of synthetic fentanyl.
"People should be aware that this ultra potent opioid is out there and it really is a death sentence," Aks said.
The opioid epidemic has been on the rise in Cook County. The statistics are alarming — in 2014, there were 20 fentanyl-related deaths. In 2015, the number soared to 102. So far in 2016, 380 people died after taking fentanyl or a fentanyl analog like carfentanil.
"We are truly in an opioid epidemic right now and we really have to put all resources of public health together so that we can help solve this problem," Aks said.
In an effort to save lives, naloxone has been made available by prescription. If administered immediately after an overdose of heroin, for example, it can completely reverse an overdose. But carfentanil may be too strong for naloxone.
"The problem with carfentanil is because it is so potent, we are not sure how effective it is going to be," Aks said.
With the growing list of users, doctors say everyone needs to know that addiction is not the only threat — instant death is likely. That's why they say anyone with a drug problem needs to reach out for help.
"We have to work on de-stigmatizing this drug addiction cycle substance abuse disorder. Think of it as a medical illness, it's affecting so many people that we need to get people into care and treatment to get them well," Aks said.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump says Kevin McAleenan is out as the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and says he will be announcing a new acting secretary in the next week.
Trump says on Twitter that McAleenan has done an outstanding job and border crossings are down. But the president says McAleenan wants to "spend more time with his family and go to the private sector."
Trump says he has "many wonderful candidates" to fill the position.

Nashville, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee inmate has chosen the electric chair for his scheduled execution next month, opting like four other inmates in little more than a year for electrocution over the state's preferred execution method of lethal injection.
Nicholas Sutton, 58, is scheduled to be put to death Feb. 20 for the stabbing death of a fellow inmate decades ago while serving a life sentence for his grandmother's slaying. An affidavit signed on Tuesday said he waives the right to be executed by lethal injection and chooses electrocution.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A former Oklahoma zookeeper and one-time candidate for governor was sentenced Wednesday to 22 years in prison for his role in a murder-for-hire plot and violating federal wildlife laws.
A federal judge in Oklahoma City sentenced 56-year-old Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage — who is also known as "Joe Exotic" — for trying to arrange the killing of a Florida animal sanctuary founder who criticized his treatment of animals. The woman, Carole Baskin, wasn't harmed.

PAU medical students provide comfort for patients
by The Editor
| File Under: General News
Patients who visit the out-patients section of Togoba Health Centre in the Nebilyer area of Western Highlands will now have good shelter and benches to sit on while waiting to receive treatment.
A group of five fourth-year medical students from the Pacific Adventist University (PAU) in Port Moresby have gone out of their way, spending their own money to build a veranda for the out-patients building to allow patients to sit in comfort while waiting to be treated.
The students were attached to the Seventh Day Adventist Mission-run Health Centre recently to gain practical experience when they saw the patients' need and decided to contribute money to build the veranda.
Prior to the construction of the veranda, patients have been seeking shelter under nearby pine trees to avoid getting wet from rain and heat from the sun.
The current out-patients building was one of several built in the late1940s by the colonial administration to accommodate and treat leprosy patients.
It has limited space inside where clinicians check a few patients at a time and treat them while the rest have to wait outside for their names to be called, resulting in them getting wet during rainy days.
A student representative, Leahine Yapi said although they had school fees to pay this year, their hearts were broken when they saw patients seeking shelter under pine trees to avoid rain and this had prompted them to contribute more than K1,000 to build the veranda for them.
The acting Director for Population Health with the Western Highlands Provincial Health Authority, Dr Maddison Dat and the Seventh Day Adventist Mission Health Director, Mr Simon Peter jointly opened the extension during a small ceremony on 18th February 2019.
Mr Peter said the SDA Church did not have any funds available to carry out maintenance work on existing buildings which were run-down and he was very happy with the students for spending their own money to build the veranda for the patients.
Dr Dat said the project was small in size but for the students to see the need and put up something like this showed they had a vision to do bigger things in future not only for themselves but for the communities in which they would work in after their graduation.
He said providing quality health services was not about giving medicine only but making the environment conducive for patients and others who seek our care to get treatment.
He added that what the students had done was a challenge for health workers and the communities at large to see and do something similar at the facilities level to benefit everyone.

Implementation of a national HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis service is associated with changes in characteristics of people with newly diagnosed HIV: a retrospective cohort study
Ceilidh Grimshaw*, Claudia S. Estcourt, Rak Nandwani, Alan Yeung, David Henderson, John Michael Saunders
SHLS School Office
Objectives: To review characteristics of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV following implementation of a national pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) programme (comprehensive PrEP services, delivered in sexual health clinics) to inform future delivery and broader HIV prevention strategies.
Methods: We extracted data from national HIV databases (July 2015-June 2018). We compared sociodemographic characteristics of individuals diagnosed in the period before and after PrEP implementation, and determined the proportion of € potentially preventable' infections with the sexual health clinic-based PrEP delivery model used.
Results: Those diagnosed with HIV before PrEP implementation were more likely to be male (342/418, 81.8% vs 142/197, 72.1%, p=0.005), be white indigenous (327/418, 78.2% vs 126/197, 64.0%, p<0.001), report transmission route as sex between men (219/418, 52.4% vs 81/197, 41.1%, p=0.014), and have acquired HIV in the country of the programme (302/418,72.2% vs 114/197, 57.9% p<0.001) and less likely to report transmission through heterosexual sex(114/418, 27.3% vs 77/197, 39.1%, p=0.002) than after implementation. Pre-implementation, 8.6% (36/418) diagnoses were € potentially preventable' with the PrEP model used. Post-implementation, this was 6.6% (13/197), but higher among those with recently acquired HIV (49/170, 28.8%). Overall, individuals with € potentially preventable' infections were more likely to be male (49/49, 100% vs 435/566, 76.9%, p<0.001), aged <40 years (37/49, 75.5% vs 307/566, 54.2%, p=0.004), report transmission route as sex between men (49/49, 100% vs 251/566, 44.3%, p<0.001), have previously received post-exposure prophylaxis (12/49, 24.5% vs 7/566, 1.2%, p<0.001) and less likely to be black African (0/49, 0% vs 67/566, 11.8%, p=0.010) than those not meeting this definition.
Conclusions: The sexual health clinic-based national PrEP delivery model appeared to best suit men who have sex with men and white indigenous individuals but had limited reach into other key vulnerable groups. Enhanced models of delivery and HIV combination prevention are required to widen access to individuals not benefiting from PrEP at present.

Enhanced models of delivery and HIV combination prevention are required to widen access to individuals not benefiting from PrEP at present.

Sound change includes any processes of language change that affect pronunciation (phonetic change) or sound system structures (phonological change). Sound change can consist of the replacement of one speech sound (or, more generally, one phonetic feature value) by another, the complete loss of the affected sound, or even the introduction of a new sound in a place where there had been none. Sound changes can be environmentally conditioned, meaning that the change only occurs in a defined sound environment, whereas in other environments the same speech sound is not affected by the change. The term "sound change" refers to diachronic changes—that is, irreversible changes in a language's sound system over time; "alternation", on the other hand, refers to changes that happen synchronically (i.e. within the language of an individual speaker, depending on the neighboring sounds) and which do not change the language's underlying system (for example, the -s in the English plural can be pronounced differently depending on what sound it follows, as in bet[s], bed[z]; this is a form of alternation, rather than sound change). However, since "sound change" can refer to the historical introduction of an alternation (such as post-vocalic /k/ in Tuscan—once [k] as in di [k]arlo 'of Carlo', but now [h] di [h]arlo, alternating with [k] in other positions: con [k]arlo 'with Carlo')—the label is inherently imprecise and often must be clarified as referring to phonemic change or restructuring.
Research on sound change is usually conducted on the working assumption that it is regular, which means that it is expected to apply mechanically whenever its structural conditions are met, irrespective of any non-phonological factors (such as the meaning of the words affected). However, apparent exceptions to regular change can occur—due to dialect borrowing, grammatical analogy, or other causes known and unknown—and some changes are described as "sporadic", meaning that they affect only one particular word or a few words, without any apparent regularity.
The Neogrammarian linguists of the 19th century introduced the term "sound law" to refer to rules of regular change, perhaps in imitation of the laws of physics. and the term "law" is still used in referring to specific sound rules named after their authors, such as Grimm's Law, Grassmann's Law, etc.. Real-world sound changes often admit exceptions; nevertheless, the expectation of their regularity or absence of exceptions is of great heuristic value, since it allows historical linguists to define the notion of regular correspondence (see: comparative method).
Each sound change is limited in space and time. This means it functions within a limited area (within certain dialects) and during a limited period of time. For these (and other) reasons, the term "sound law" has been criticized for implying a universality that is unrealistic with regard to sound change.
Sound change that affects the phonological system, in the number or distribution of its phonemes, is covered more fully at phonological change.
is to be read, "sound A changes into (or is replaced by, is reflected as, etc) sound B". Therefore, A belongs to an older stage of the language in question, whereas B belongs to a more recent stage. The symbol ">" can be reversed, B < A, still meaning that the (more recent) B derives from the (older) A".
means that "Proto-Oceanic (POc.) *t is reflected as the Voiceless labiodental fricative [f] in the Rotuman language (Rot.)."
= "A changes to B when preceded by X and followed by Y."
= "Word-final stops were deleted in Greek (Gk.)."
where capital P stands for any plosive.
The following statements are used as heuristics in formulating sound changes as understood within the Neogrammarian model. However, for modern linguistics, they are not taken as inviolable rules; rather, they are seen as guidelines.
Sound change has no memory: Sound change does not discriminate between the sources of a sound. If a previous sound change causes X,Y > Y (features X and Y merge as Y), a new one cannot affect only an original X.
Sound change ignores grammar: A sound change can only have phonological constraints, like X > Z in unstressed syllables. For example, it cannot only affect adjectives. The only exception to this is that a sound change may or may not recognise word boundaries, even when they are not indicated by prosodic clues. Also, sound changes may be regularized in inflectional paradigms (such as verbal inflection), in which case the change is no longer phonological but morphological in nature.
Sound change is exceptionless: if a sound change can happen at a place, it will. It affects all sounds that meet the criteria for change. Apparent exceptions are possible, due to analogy and other regularization processes, or another sound change, or an unrecognized conditioning factor. This is the traditional view, expressed by the Neogrammarians. In past decades it has been shown that sound change does not necessarily affect all the words that in principle it could. However, when a sound change is initiated, it often expands to the whole lexicon given enough time, though not always. For example, in Spanish the fronting of the Vulgar Latin [g] (voiced velar stop) before [i e ɛ] seems to have reached every possible word it could. By contrast, the voicing of word-initial Latin [k] to [g] occurred in colaphus > golpe and cattus > gato, but not in canna > caña. See also lexical diffusion.
Sound change is inevitable: All languages vary from place to place and time to time, and neither writing nor media prevent this change.
In historical linguistics, a number of traditional terms designate types of phonetic change, either by nature or result. A number of such types are often (or usually) sporadic, that is, more or less accidents that happen to a specific form. Others affect a whole phonological system. Sound changes that affect a whole phonological system are also classified according to how they affect the overall shape of the system; see phonological change.
Assimilation: One sound becomes more like another, or (much more rarely) two sounds become more like each other. Example: in Latin the prefix *kom- becomes con- before an apical stop ([t d]) or [n]: contactus "touched", condere "to found, establish", connūbium "legal marriage". The great majority of assimilations take place between contiguous segments, and the great majority involve the earlier sound becoming more like the later one (e.g. in connūbium, m- + n becomes -nn- rather than -mm-). Assimilation between contiguous segments are (diachronically speaking) exceptionless sound laws rather than sporadic, isolated changes.
Dissimilation: The opposite of assimilation. One sound becomes less like another, or (much more rarely) two sounds become less like each other. Examples: Latin quīnque /kʷiːnkʷe/ "five" > Proto-Romance *kinkʷe (whence French cinq, Italian cinque, etc.); Old Spanish omne "man" > Spanish hombre. The great majority of dissimilations involve segments that are not contiguous, but, as with assimilations, the great majority involve an earlier sound changing with reference to a later one. Dissimilation is usually a sporadic phenomenon, but Grassmann's Law (in Sanskrit and Greek) exemplifies a systematic dissimilation. If the change of a sequence of fricatives such that one becomes a stop is dissimilation, then such changes as Proto-Germanic *χs to /ks/ (spelled x) in English would count as a regular sound law: PGmc. *seχs "six" > Old English siex, etc.
Metathesis: Two sounds switch places. Example: Old English thridda became Middle English third. Most such changes are sporadic, but occasionally a sound law is involved, as Romance *tl > Spanish ld, thus *kapitlu, *titlu "chapter (of a cathedral)", "tittle" > Spanish cabildo, tilde. Metathesis can take place between non-contiguous segments, as Greek amélgō "I milk" > Modern Greek armégō.
Lenition, softening of a consonant, e.g. stop consonant to affricate or fricative; and its antonym fortition, hardening of a consonant.
Tonogenesis: Syllables come to have distinctive pitch contours.
Sandhi: conditioned changes that take place at word-boundaries but not elsewhere. It can be morpheme-specific, as in the loss of the vowel in the enclitic forms of English is /ɪz/, with subsequent change of /z/ to /s/ adjacent to a voiceless consonant Frank's not here /ˈfræŋksnɒtˈhɪər/. Or a small class of elements, such as the assimilation of the /ð/ of English the, this and that to a preceding /n/ (including the /n/ of and when the /d/ is elided) or /l/: all the often /ɔːllə/, in the often /ɪnnə/, and so on. As in these examples, such features are rarely indicated in standard orthography. In a striking exception, Sanskrit orthography reflects a wide variety of such features; thus, tat "that" is written tat, tac, taj, tad, or tan depending on what the first sound of the next word is. These are all assimilations, but medial sequences do not assimilate the same way.
Haplology: The loss of a syllable when an adjacent syllable is similar or (rarely) identical. Example: Old English Englaland became Modern English England, or the common pronunciation of probably as [ˈprɒbli]. This change usually affects commonly used words. The word haplology itself is sometimes jokingly pronounced "haplogy".
Elision, aphaeresis, syncope, and apocope: all losses of sounds. Elision is the loss of unstressed sounds, aphaeresis the loss of initial sounds, syncope is the loss of medial sounds, and apocope is the loss of final sounds.
Elision examples: in the southeastern United States, unstressed schwas tend to drop, so "American" is not /əˈmɛɹəkən/ but /ˈmɚkən/. Standard English is possum < opossum.
Syncope examples: the Old French word for "state" is estat, but the s disappeared, yielding état. Similarly, the loss of /t/ in English soften, hasten, castle, etc.
Apocope examples: the final -e [ə] in Middle English words was pronounced, but is only retained in spelling as a silent E. In English /b/ and /ɡ/ were apocopated in final position after nasals: lamb, long /læm/, /lɒŋ ~ lɔːŋ/.
Epenthesis (also known as anaptyxis): The introduction of a sound between two adjacent sounds. Examples: Latin humilis > English humble; in Slavic an -l- intrudes between a labial and a following yod, as *zemya "land" > Russian zemlya (земля). Most commonly, epenthesis is in the nature of a "transitional" consonant, but vowels may be epenthetic: non-standard English film in two syllables, athlete in three. Epenthesis can be regular, as when the Indo-European "tool" suffix *-tlom everywhere becomes Latin -culum (so speculum "mirror" < *speḱtlom, pōculum "drinking cup" < *poH3-tlom). Some scholars reserve the term epenthesis for "intrusive" vowels and use excrescence for intrusive consonants.
Prothesis: The addition of a sound at the beginning of a word. Example: word-initial /s/ + stop clusters in Latin gained a preceding /e/ in Old Spanish and Old French; hence, the Spanish word for "state" is estado, deriving from Latin status.
Nasalization: Vowels followed by nasal consonants can become nasalized. If the nasal consonant is lost but the vowel retains its nasalized pronunciation, nasalization becomes phonemic, that is, distinctive. Example: French "-in" words used to be pronounced [in], but are now pronounced [ɛ̃], and the [n] is no longer pronounced (except in cases of liaison).

Adecco Estudiantes Madrid 87
RheinEnergie Cologne 66

Local time: 00:00 PALACIO VISTALEGRE
After having started the ULEB Cup with two losses, Adecco Estudiantes took hold of second place in Group C by defeating RheinEnergie Cologne 87-66 at home on the last day of the regular season Tuesday. The win improves Estudiantes' record to 7-3, the same as Krka Novo Mesto, but the Slovenians won a tiebreaker by having beaten the Spaniards by more points in the two games they played, each winning one. Cologne ends the regular season in third place at 6-4. Corey Brewer led the winnners with 22 points including 5-for-7 three-pointers. German Gabriel bagged 16 and Felipe Reyes nailed 12. For RheinEnergie, Zoran Kukic was top scorer with 17 points, Clint Harrison added 13 and Vladimir Bogojevic and Stephen Arigbabu posted 10 each.
The game started with two quick threes by Brewer and Harrison, one for each side. The zone defense played by the hosts overcame the individual defense played by the Germans in the first minutes, and Estudiantes managed to pull away by 9 in minute 7, 20-11. The guests called the first timeout, which showed its results with an improvement in defense that pulled Cologne within 22-19 after 10 minutes. The second quarter showed the same systems on both sides, even though the point guards were changed, being Nacho Azofra and Johannes Strasser the game leaders on court. Offense ruled upon defense, even though the hosts held better percentages. Brewer was already the best scorer with 16 points, 15 of them hit from downtown. Both teams had rather low percentages: 11 of 21 two-point shots and 5 of 10 threes for Estudiantes, and 9 of 25 plus 4 of 9 for Cologne, which led the teams to the lockerrooms with a 41-35.
The second half of the game started with the hosts increasing their lead rather effortlessly to 8 points, 44-36 in minute 23. Coach Stephan Baeck was forced to call another timeout, after which RheinEnergie started with a press defense all over the court, that didn't deliver the expected results as Estudiantes maintained control of the game. The leads moved from 10 to 12 points for the hosts, while for the Germans, only Zoran Kukic and Geert Hammink kept the score alive. After 30 minutes, Adecco Estudiantes led 58-48. In the last quarter, Baeck's team lowered its defenses and appeared to be content with the third place of the group, while Estudiantes took advantage of it to increase the lead to 26 points, 84-58 in minute 38, turning the game into a festival for the fans that enjoyed the game of their team.

HERNANDEZ, PEPU
"I'm very happy, in front we had a team that plays great ball, they have players that can define a gam from the arc. They developed a good inside game and made it difficult on us, but we showed our concentration. We have to be glad, we didn't start very strong because playing on Sundays and Tuesdays is not easy, but we have accpeted it and we know what it is. I'm very happy, we could have ended first if we had not had those problems at the beginning of the season. Estudiantes is now at very good positions in all competitions we're in and I hope we stay like this."
BAECK, STEPHAN
"We had two phases in our game. In the first half we stood firm in the game and we tried to take control, even we didn't play very well some times. We weren't able to win, we tried and there were moments in which we didn't know how to react. We have some injured players and we have noticed it in our play."
REYES, FELIPE
"I'm proud that Pau Gasol says those good things about me, it keeps me going and gives me strngth to fulfill my dream in the future. If I have the chance, I'd love to go to the NBA. In Estudiantes I'm very happy, it's my club, they treat me well and I'm learning a lot. This season I'm playing a lot of minutes and the coach trusts me. There are no leaders in this team, I only know I have done a good play when the fans cheer for me and I'm happy that the fans treat me so well also."

I'm hearing terms like "rum", "the islands", "warm" but that doesn't really tell me anything.
Is it a warm, heavy vanilla? Is it sweet? Is there a coconut smell to it? Is there anything on the market right now that smells similar (for example, the Imperial Vanilla reminds me of Angel due to the cocoa and therefore, can't stand it).
I tried the scent several years ago when they first introduced it. The fragrance is definately not sweet and does not smell at all like vanilla beans. I remember it being heavy and slightly bitter. It did not agree with my body chemistry so returned it. Last night I think I heard Shannon say to think of the smell of leather.


Haze here, your favorite competitor from Season 1 of American Grit. I have the distinct honor of taking over for Bonnie to bring you weekly reviews of our favorite show, American Grit. I will keep the reviews as unbiased as possible and try to throw in some behind the scene comparisons from my experience in Season 1. This Sunday, June 11th, kicks off the long-awaited return of American Grit! If you've been paying attention to the promos and hype, you'll notice that Season 2 and Season 1 have some differences, just listen to the opening theme. Here is a quick look at the breakdown for Season 1 vs Season 2 to help get us up to speed with the new crop of competitors and changes made to the show.
16 competitors, considered to be "elite athletes", looking to push themselves further.
4 teams of 4: Green, Blue, Red, and Silver.
4 Cadre: US Marine, US Army Ranger, US Army Airborne, and US Navy Seal.
Location: Deep in a Washington State Rainforest (it was absolutely freezing, even without the ice bucket).
Living Situation: Competitors lived together at "Base Camp" while the Cadre/John Cena lived separately from the competitors.
Winnings: One TEAM of 4 having the potential to win One Million Dollars ($250,000 apiece).
17 competitors, considered "ordinary individuals", looking to find the strength within themselves.
4 teams: Green, Blue, Red, and Yellow. Not positive how the teams will be split up since there is an odd number.
4 Cadre: Green Beret, US Marine x 2, and US Army Drill Sargent.
Location: A swampy looking place somewhere in Georgia (looks sunny and pleasant).
Living Situation: Competitors AND Cadre living together at "Camp Grit".
Winnings: INDIVIDUAL WINNER of $250,000 (Are they ditching the "teamwork" theme from last season and focusing more on individual accomplishments?).
From TV previews and the social media of American Grit and Producer Jon Kroll, this season feels a bit more light-hearted than that of the previous. Like when John Cena babies Hannah for getting a fish hook stuck in her leg, or the adorable new "showmance" between Burk and Cena. However, the challenges do not seem to have weakened by the looks of things. You'll notice in the trailer that there is still plenty of strength, endurance, and mental fortitude required to complete the challenges. I'm sure we are all interested to see if the Evolutions and Circuses are harder physically and/or mentally, or if they have been scaled back for these "averages Joes".
Below you will find the names of the new Competitors and Cadre as well as their Instagram handles. Be sure to follow them on social media and cheer for your favorites!
Check in with me on a weekly basis for my review on the newest episode of American Grit! I'll be live tweeting during the shows (@BigHaze22) and look forward to hearing your comments!
Was grateful for the opportunity! Great job on the write up.

Serious Neurological Disorders and Organic Brain Syndrome
We represent Veterans who suffer from a variety of neurological and organic brain syndrome conditions. We have represented Veterans who have suffered brain damage as a result of exposure to toxins as well as from head trauma. Sometimes a veteran may suffer from multiple sclerosis as a result of a whiplash trauma in service. Other conditions may involve the residuals of venereal disease which have affected the brain and the neurological functioning. We have seen many types of cases involving conditions that are rare and difficult to diagnose. Sometimes Veterans have serious neurological conditions that may be caused by exposure to Agent Orange but these conditions are not on the list of Agent Orange related diseases. We have helped countless Veterans obtain service connection for conditions involving neurological and brain disorders.
With most complex cases, we develop a comprehensive legal strategy based on sound legal and medical research. Our successful approach centers around top-notch medical experts and scientific research. Frequently, the scientific research requires proof to a degree higher than what is required to prove service connection for VA purposes. For instance, medical science may not recognize causation unless it can be determined to a high degree of scientific certainty. However, for VA purposes, we need to demonstrate merely that the service-related cause is 50 percent probable.
Understanding this distinction, and educating the medical experts on this distinction, is critical to success in these cases. Your legal team must be able to coordinate a comprehensive strategy by utilizing top medical and scientific experts. If you have recently been denied for a serious neurological or brain disorder, you are invited to contact our office to discuss how we may be able to help you.
Call our office toll free at (888) 878-9350 because you no longer have to "go it alone."
