Beautyberry is an often overlooked plant at the garden center all season. It's just a green bush most of the season. You might notice some minuscule pink flowers in late July to August if you pay attention when you're standing or working next to it, but they certainly don't stand out. As soon as mid-September hits, those flowers have turned to berries that quickly mature to a beautiful amethyst color. There's nothing quite like it for fall fruit effect.
There are a number of Callicarpa species (over 40) but only 4 are readily available. The best species for us in the north is C. dichotoma, which is also becoming the most readily available. The cultivars 'Issai' and 'Early Amethyst' are readily available to gardeners and have both performed well in zone 5. In my gardens they reach 4' or less with a nice arching habit, and die back to the ground each winter. There is also a white-fruiting form, 'Albofructa', and a selection which leafs out gold and changes green with the obvious name 'Spring Gold'; neither of which I have seen.
C. japonica will also possibly grow in the north similarly to C. dichotoma. There is a fantastic variegated selection that I will growing next season. Similar size, habit, and hardiness to C. dichotoma. C. japonica also dies back to the ground.
C. americana is the only US species I can find information on. This one is less hardy, to zone 6, and I have not tried it. I'm all for native plants though, and will give it a try some day.
Give a beautyberry a spot in your garden, it's a great choice if you want to move beyone viburnums and crabapples for fall fruit effect.
So go BUY one! :) Although easy to cram into a garden here, they will get a bit bigger on the west coast. On the other hand you can grow pretty much any species or variety you can find.

Great presentation. Met up with Triangle P. A good time was had by all. Might be coaxed to post some photos tonight. If not, I'm sure Jack Cook will scan and post the article from his next issue of Air Classics. I told Michael to autograph it before he puts it in the mail to him.
Didn't know that DT was negotiating for the B-24 Lady Be Good at one time.
P.S. Thanks TAdan for posting this. I never wouold have known/gone otherwise!

B-17 salvaged from New Guinea swamp unveiled in Long Beach
From wire service reports
Posted: 06/11/2010 01:08:31 PM PDT
More than 68 years after a B-17E Flying Fortress crash-landed in a New Guinea swamp, the salvaged aircraft, nicknamed Swamp Ghost, was unveiled today in Long Beach.
A formation flyover by a vintage P-51 Mustang and P-40 Warhawk above the Long Beach Harbor began the ceremony to unveil the recovered bomber.
The event in the parking lot of The Reef restaurant, where the plane's remarkably intact front fuselage was displayed, also included a flag presentation by the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and remarks from recovery team members.
Unfortunately, the aircraft's last four surviving crew members died shortly before Swamp Ghost returned to the United States. The plane's return was one of bombardier Richard Oliver's last wishes. His death last year denied him the privilege of seeing his warbird come home, but his widow, Linda, attended the ceremony, along with a handful of other air crew family members.
First spotted by an Australian Air Force crew in 1972, the effort to salvage and export the plane was initiated in the mid-1980s by the late Specialty Restaurants Corp. founder, World War II veteran and antique aircraft collector David Tallichet.
"My father was a young B-17 pilot flying out of England with the Bloody 100th Bomb Group during World War II," said John Tallichet, president and CEO of Specialty Restaurants.
"He never lost his passion for aviation or love of his combat aircraft, the venerable Flying Fortress," he said. "Sadly, my father could not be here to witness his dream fulfilled. However, my family is honored to continue his vision of preserving this invaluable relic of aviation history for the benefit of future generations."
In 1996, aircraft salvage efforts were continued by Aero Archaeology founder and aircraft recovery enthusiast Alfred Hagen, who has located seven missing World War II aircraft and returned the remains of more than a dozen missing-in-action airmen to the United States for burial with full military honors.
"Much of my work has been to honor those whom we have come to know as the Greatest Generation, and we look back on their accomplishments for inspiration," Hagen said.
Swamp Ghost will be restored, possibly to flying condition, for permanent display at an aviation history museum.

Don't limit free speech with campaign contribution limits
August 26, 2019 • By Luke Wachob • Commentary • Contribution Limits
This piece originally appeared in The Oregonian on August 22, 2019.
Successful political campaigns have simple ingredients: a message voters believe in, a candidate they can trust, and enough resources to get the word out by Election Day. A constitutional amendment to restrict campaign giving would throttle candidates just when they need to ramp up.
Oregon is one of 11 states in the nation without limits on the amounts individuals may give to candidates.On the other end of the spectrum, some states cap contributions at just a few hundred dollars, practically strangling new candidates from the moment they enter the race.
Oregon's hands-off approach creates fertile ground for democracy. Candidates who lack party connections, name recognition, or personal wealth can fundraise to compete with their established, well-connected, and often wealthy opponents. It's no coincidence that the nation's first transgender state legislator was elected in Virginia, another state that doesn't cap donations. States with low limits force candidates to operate on shoestring budgets. That gives a major advantage to those with a leg up in other walks of life.
Incumbents have a huge head start in name recognition thanks to previous campaigns and years of "free" media coverage. Celebrities and prominent individuals also have less need for fundraising than an unknown. And a wealthy businessman or woman running for office can chip in his own funds to help his campaign.
Meanwhile, newcomers suffer when contribution limits are low. Historically and in present day, political movements succeed when government gets out of the way and Americans organize and support who they want. A generation ago, when there were no limits on presidential campaigns, it was Eugene McCarthy's 1968 run that raised millions from a handful of donors to rally Vietnam War protesters and push Lyndon Johnson out of the race. Today, it is national criminal justice reform organizations supporting a new generation of prosecutors in places like Northern Virginia. The freedom to support candidates is the freedom to advocate for change.
Knee-jerk political analysis sees contribution limits as a straightforward measure to reduce corruption. Yet there is no correlation between a state's contribution limits and public corruption. Politicians just have too many other ways of abusing their power. Instead, limits make it harder for campaigns to get off the ground and get their message out.
Even an enormous donation cannot buy an election. Oregon proved that last year, when Nike co-founder Phil Knight donated $2.5 million to Republican gubernatorial candidate Knute Buehler. Gov. Kate Brown won re-election anyway, pulling in over 100,000 more voters than Buehler. Supporters of contribution limits use the Knight donations as a rallying cry, but they really demonstrate that limits aren't necessary. In fact, they suggest that limits might backfire.
What if Oregon imposed limits, and a multibillionaire like Knight jumped in the race himself? He could spend his millions freely while his opponents, unlike Gov. Brown in 2018, would face a hard cap every time a supporter wanted to contribute. Gov. Brown may not have received seven-figure contributions from an individual like Knight, but she received plenty of five and six-figure contributions that would likely be illegal under any limits the Legislative Assembly may pass.
The proposed constitutional amendment contains other threats to free speech, too. It calls for state and local governments to be able to limit contributions and expenditures that "influence the outcome of any election…." The vague term "influence" could be easily exploited to restrict speech regulators don't like. After all, who gets to decide what actions "influence" the outcome of an election?
Oregon should be proud of the freedom it has and the democracy that freedom helps invigorate. Money in politics may elicit groans, but that's a heck of a lot better than letting government stifle political change and limit political speech. Oregon should remain a leader in free speech, not fall back to the pack.

NASA's flight to sun delayed due to technical problem The probe won't actually land on the sun, but it will make history - getting closer than any other man-made object. But due to a technical snag, the launch date was delayed and scheduled on Sunday, Aug. 12, at 3:31 a.m.
Erdogan Wants Boycott of US Electronics Some joked bitterly on social media that the plunge of the lira would make Apple products unaffordable for Turks in any case. Investor sentiment was lifted after the Turkish lira bounced back from a record low in the previous session.
Zinedine Zidane Wants To Replace Jose Mourinho As Man Utd Boss Manchester United signing Fred has revealed how Gilberto Silva helped convince him to reject the advances of Manchester City this summer.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee: Former Indian prime minister dies after illness aged 93 One of India's longest-serving lawmakers, Vajpayee was elected nine times to the powerful Lok Sabha, or lower house of Parliament. He was the prime minister who ordered nuclear tests in 1998, stoking fears of atomic war between India and Pakistan.
A Turkish court has rejected an appeal to release Andrew Brunson, a USA pastor at the centre of a dispute between Ankara and Washington. Turkey and Qatar - which is also a very close USA ally - have become close economic and political partners in recent times.
The dispute has contributed to a steep fall in the Turkish lira this year, with the currency hitting record lows last Friday after US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Turkish aluminium and steel.
Speaking as he left the White House on Friday, Trump told reporters on the South Lawn: "They have a wonderful Christian pastor". He went on Twitter to describe the priest as a "great patriot" taken "hostage" by Turkey.
"We've already responded based on the World Trade Organisation rules and will continue to do so", Mr Pekcan was quoted as saying by the state-run Anadolu news agency. Also helping the currency were moves by Turkey this week to gain favor with European countries, including releasing two Greek soldiers and an Amnesty International human rights campaigner from prison. "They can't take our people".
Brunson is being held on terrorism charges, which he denies.
Washington wants the evangelical Christian freed but Turkish officials say the case is a matter for the courts. "This is very easy to resolve", the administration official said. The lira lost almost 40 percent against the dollar this year and suffered a staggering collapse on the heels of Trump's announcement of increased tariffs on metals.

Before: Patient came in with a peg lateral tooth on the left side. She was very unhappy with how short and small her canine tooth was compared to all of her other teeth. She was also self conscious about the little gap in between her front teeth. After: Dr Reading did Durathin veneers on her front 4 teeth. Which made all her teeth the same shape and size and closed the little gap she had in between her front teeth. They look so natural!
Before: Patient came in complaining about the color of her teeth, the chipping of her front teeth and she said that her bite was not right. After: Dr Reading did treatment to relax her jaw and get her mouth back to a comfortable functional state. He then did Durathin veneers on her front teeth from molar to molar. 12 durathins total.
Before: Patient had inadequate chewing pattern that caused notching at the gum line on multiple teeth and anterior wear. After: We restored by placing 9 Durathin Veneers. After placement we made her an Occlusal Guard to prevent any destruction to her newly restored teeth. They are beautiful!
Before: Patient had 2 temporary type crowns with 2 failing teeth. She wanted to have beautiful functional teeth. After: We restored with two 3 unit porcelain bridges. Patient couldn't be happier with the results!
Before: Patient had severe wear caused by trauma of bruxism. He wanted to restore his teeth to a normal healthy state. After: We restored his teeth to a normal and structural state with 20 porcelain crowns. Providing him with a solid bite and a very appealing smile! To protect the structure of his new teeth we provided him with an occlusal guard to help reduce the trauma from bruxism.

No horse show would be complete without an abundance of other four-legged friends: dogs. Both Georgia Spogli and CeCe Durante Bloum were well aware of that fact when they founded Thrive Animal Rescue in San Diego, California. Based at CeCe's Newmarket Farm, just a mile from the Del Mar Racetrack CeCe frequented in her youth with her famous father, Jimmy Durante, Thrive was founded in 2014 with the mission to save shelter dogs and place them with loving, forever families. Since then, the equestrian community and beyond have supported Thrive and enabled many canines to do just that — thrive.
The popular shopping destination South Coast Plaza held a fundraiser benefiting Thrive on June 14. All of the dogs pictured are former street dogs. From left to right: Laurel Evans Smith (board member), Hayden Caves, Ryan Bloum, Susie Saladino (social media), Olivia Cameron (executive director), Victoria Shevlin Hobbs (board member), Marc Grock (board member) and Cece Bloum (founder).
Equestrian donors helped Thrive get its start, and equestrians continue to be an integral part of Thrive's success. Thrive and its dogs can often be found at Blenheim Equisports horse shows, spreading awareness and looking for adoptive families. "Although we have now branched out further than the horse shows in terms of events, adopters and donors, we recognize that we owe a debt of gratitude to the people who helped us get started," said Susie.
Though there are kennels available at Newmarket Farm for dogs that need immediate help, most Thrive dogs go directly into foster homes, where their personality traits and needs can be assessed. Thrive generally takes in dogs that are most in need, including seniors or those with medical issues, and who are friendly towards other dogs.
Jenny and Kosti Karazissis' daughter, Katrina, got married at El Campeon Farm. El Campeon waived the fee for the venue in lieu of a charitable donation, and the Karazissis family chose Thrive for the generous donation.
But not all Thrive dogs are from San Diego: Thrive has pulled dogs from all over Southern California and beyond, wherever the need is greatest. After the devastating floods in Louisiana last year that impacted over 100,000 homes, Thrive coordinated with other San Diego area rescues and were able to evacuate 65 dogs and ultimately place them in new homes — including some just minutes away from euthanasia. This year, Thrive reached out to support the Humane Society of Imperial County in El Centro, California. Due to soaring unemployment rates in El Centro, shelters are overflowing and struggling to keep up with the needs of so many abandoned animals. In addition to taking as many dogs as possible to rehome, Thrive left supplies to help the Humane Society care for the unceasing influx of dogs.
"We have had many people within the equestrian community do private fundraising events, from children's birthday parties to weddings, where in lieu of gifts, Thrive is the recipient of a donation," said Susie Saladino.
Because of the overwhelming response to a seven-minute Facebook Live video asking followers for help, Thrive was able to charter a Wings of Rescue flight and save over 60 Louisiana dogs from euthanasia.

A Cultura da Itália é famosa pela sua arte e pelos seus monumentos, entre os quais se encontram a Torre de Pisa, o Coliseu de Roma, bem como pela sua comida (pizza, pasta, etc.), vinho, estilo de vida, elegância, design, cinema, teatro, literatura, poesia, artes plásticas, música (especialmente a Ópera), e, de uma forma geral, por aquilo que é considerado por muita gente "bom gosto".

Itália é considerada o berço da civilização ocidental e uma superpotência cultural. A Itália tem sido o ponto de partida de fenómenos de impacto internacional como a Magna Graecia, o Império Romano, a Igreja Católica Romana, o Renascimento, o Risorgimento e a integração europeia. Durante sua história, a nação deu à luz um número enorme de pessoas notáveis.

As faces internas e externas da cultura ocidental nasceram na península italiana, quer se trate da história da fé cristã, das instituições civis (como o Senado), da filosofia, do direito, da arte, da ciência ou dos costumes sociais e cultura.

A Itália era o lar de muitas civilizações bem conhecidas e influentes, incluindo os etruscos, samnitas e romanos, ao mesmo tempo hospedando colônias de importantes civilizações estrangeiras como os fenícios e gregos, cuja influência e cultura tiveram um grande impacto através da península. As culturas etrusca e samnita floresceram na Itália antes do surgimento da República Romana, que os conquistou e incorporou. Fenícios e gregos estabeleceram assentamentos na Itália começando vários séculos antes do nascimento de Cristo, e os assentamentos gregos, em particular, desenvolveram-se em florescente civilizações clássicas. As ruínas gregas no sul da Itália são talvez o mais espetacular e melhor preservado em qualquer lugar.

O país possui várias cidades mundialmente famosas. Roma era a antiga capital do Império Romano e sede do Papa da Igreja Católica. Florença foi o coração do Renascimento, um período de grandes realizações nas artes no final da Idade Média. Outras cidades importantes incluem Turim, que costumava ser a capital da Itália, e é agora um dos grandes centros do mundo de engenharia automobilística. Milão é a capital industrial, financeira e de moda da Itália. Veneza, com seu intrincado sistema de canais, atrai turistas de todo o mundo, especialmente durante o Carnaval de Veneza e a Bienal.

A Itália é o lar do maior número de Patrimônios da Humanidade da UNESCO (51), e de acordo com uma estimativa o país é o lar de metade dos grandes tesouros de arte do mundo. A nação tem, em geral, cerca de 100.000 monumentos de qualquer espécie (igrejas, catedrais, sítios arqueológicos, casas e estátuas).

Arte

O período do Renascimento iniciou-se na Itália no século XIV e perdurou até ao século XVI.

Feitos literários, tais como a poesia de Petrarca, Tasso e Ariosto; assim como a prosa de Boccaccio, Maquiavel e Castiglione exerceram uma enorme e duradoura influência no desenvolvimento subsequente da cultura Ocidental; iguais repercussões tiveram a pintura, escultura e a arquitectura produzida por gigantes como Leonardo da Vinci, Raffaello, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Bramante, Masaccio, Giorgio Vasari, Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese e Fra Angelico.

Arquitetura

Ruínas de grandes construções do passado levaram a Itália a testificar a grandeza de culturas precedentes. A história da arquitetura italiana remonta aos estilos aplicados por gregos e etruscos, progredindo ao romano clássico, e então, desencadeando no Renascimento cultural e ampliando-se na era Barroca. Durante o período da Renascença Italiana, era comum aos estudantes de arquitetura estudar as ruínas antigas de Roma com base essencial de sua formação acadêmica.

A Antiga Basílica de São Pedro (construída a partir de aproximadamente 330), foi provavelmente a mais significante basílica cristã da Primeira Era, um estilo de templo que tornou-se dominante nos primeiros anos da Idade Média. A Antiga São Pedro situava-se no local da atual Basílica de São Pedro, no Vaticano. Os primeiros prédios romanescos significantes eram os templos cristãos construídos na Itália durante o século IX. Inúmeros exemplos de arquitetura bizantina medieval também podem ser encontrados na Itália. A mais conhecida construção bizantina deste período é a Basílica de São Marcos, em Veneza.

O maior florescimento da arquitetura italiana ocorreu durante o Renascimento. Filippo Brunelleschi fez grandes contribuições para o projeto arquitetônico com sua cúpula para a Catedral de Florença. Leon Battista Alberti foi outro dos primeiros arquitetos da Renascença cujas teorias e projetos tiveram uma enorme influência sobre arquitetos posteriores.

Talvez a maior conquista da arquitetura renascentista italiana foi a Basílica de São Pedro, originalmente projetada por Donato Bramante no início do século XVI. Andrea Palladio influenciou arquitetos em toda a Europa ocidental com as vilas e palácios que ele projetou no meio e final do século XVI. É amplamente considerado o indivíduo mais influente na história da arquitetura.

O período barroco produziu vários arquitectos italianos proeminentes no século XVII especialmente conhecido para suas igrejas. Os arquitetos mais importantes incluíam Gian Lorenzo Bernini e Francesco Borromini. Numerosos arquitetos italianos modernos, como Renzo Piano, são famosos em todo o mundo.

Música

Do folk ao clássico, a música sempre teve um papel importante na cultura italiana. Tendo dado à luz a Ópera, por exemplo, a Itália fornece muitos dos fundamentos da tradição da música clássica. Alguns dos instrumentos que estão frequentemente associados com a música clássica, incluindo o piano eo violino, foram inventados na Itália e muitas das formas de música clássica existentes podem traçar suas raízes de volta às inovações da música italiana dos séculos XVI e XVII (Como a sinfonia, concerto e sonata).

Os compositores italianos têm desempenhado um papel importante na música desde a Idade Média. No século XI, Guido de Arezzo, um monge italiano, desenvolveu um sistema revolucionário de notação e método de visão-cantar. O canto gregoriano, a canção trovadoresca eo madrigal eram formas da música italiana primitiva.

Durante o Renascimento, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina compôs obras-primas de música coral para uso em serviços religiosos. As primeiras óperas foram compostas em Florença na década de 1590. A ópera emergiu como uma forma de arte durante o período barroco. Claudio Monteverdi foi o primeiro grande compositor da ópera barroca no início do século XVII. Importantes compositores do final do século XVII e início do século XVIII incluíam Alessandro Scarlatti, seu filho Domenico e Antonio Vivaldi. Alessandro tornou-se mais conhecido por suas óperas, Domenico por suas composições de teclado, e Vivaldi por suas obras para violino. Durante o século XIX e início do século XX, as óperas populares foram compostas por Gioachino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, Giuseppe Verdi e Giacomo Puccini.

Os artistas italianos contemporâneos, escritores, cineastas, arquitetos, compositores, e designers continuam a contribuir de forma significativa para a Cultura Ocidental.

Língua

O italiano, língua oficial da Itália, nasceu na Toscana, região cuja capital é Florença, e deriva do latim, língua do Império Romano. Dante Alighieri, que viveu no século XIII, autor da Divina Comédia, é considerado o "pai" da língua italiana.

No entanto, por influência de tantas Cidades-estado até 1861, falando e escrevendo diferentes línguas, há muitas linguas vivas que sobrevivem até hoje: exemplos são o sardo, o napolitano, o veneto, o friulano e o siciliano.

Festividades e feriados

Desporto

O futebol é o desporto principal da Itália, e os italianos são conhecidos pela paixão com que o jogam. É um dos mais poderosos e tradicionais do mundo, partindo do ponto que a Squadra Azzurra, como é conhecida a seleção, venceu quatro vezes o Campeonato do Mundo: em 1934, 1938, 1982 e 2006. O campeonato italiano também é um dos poucos campeonatos europeus que possui várias equipas de primeiro escalão. No caso, algumas delas são: Milan, Lazio, Internazionale, Roma, Fiorentina, Juventus, entre outros.

A mídia italiana cobre intensamente o campeonato e a seleção, e o povo é bastante ligado à modalidade, sendo grandes admiradores desta. Lá, como no Brasil, também ocorrem com frequência escândalos envolvendo jogadores e a arbitragem, e como consequência, viradas de mesa, como as ocorridas recentemente envolvendo Milan, Lazio, Fiorentina e Juventus, esta considerada a maior beneficiada no escândalo.

Moedas
As moedas de euro italianas possuem cada uma um desenho único, mas referentes a um tema comum que visa honrar as obras de arte italianas mais conhecidas. Cada moeda foi desenhada por um designer diferente, nomeadamente, da moeda de 1 cêntimo à de 2 euros: Eugenio Driutti, Luciana De Simoni, Ettore Lorenzo Frapiccini, Claudia Momoni, Maria Angela Cassol, Roberto Mauri, Laura Cretara e Maria Carmela Colaneri. Todos os desenhos têm em comum as 12 estrelas da União Européia, o ano de distribuição e as letras sobrepostas "RI", de Repubblica Italiana (República Italiana).

"Your assistance in facilitating the development of our first system-wide Information Technology (IT) Strategic Plan was a key factor in our success.

  4      10       1        1
  4      12       1        0

A: You could use dcast to convert the "values" dataset from 'long' to 'wide' format.
library(reshape2)
dcast(values, Id1+Id2~Indicators, value.var='Indicators', length)
#    Id1 Id2 Ind_A Ind_B
#1   1  10     1     1

#6   3  12     1     0
#7   4  10     1     1
#8   4  12     1     0

As showed above, you may not need to create a second dataset, but if you need to change the values in one dataset based on the value in other,
indicator$Ind_A <- (do.call(paste, c(indicator[1:2], 'Ind_A')) %in%
                do.call(paste, values))+0L
indicator$Ind_B <- (do.call(paste, c(indicator[1:2], 'Ind_B')) %in%
                do.call(paste, values))+0L

'I can't do what I want to do': Arkansas man still suffering from COVID-19 symptoms months later
2 months ago Arkansas Daily News
A Jacksonville man, Michael W. Smith, described these months as the most challenging of his life after the lasting effects of COVID-19 still linger.
JACKSONVILLE, Arkansas — We've shared several stories of people who are still suffering from COVID-19 symptoms months after their diagnosis, calling themselves "long-haulers."
A Jacksonville man, Michael W. Smith, described these months as the most challenging of his life.
"I thought I was the only one," he said.
It's been a never-ending three-month fight for Smith.
"The one thing that really hurts me hard is I can't get up and do what I want to do. I can't get out and do what I used to do," he said.
Smith, who is 65-years-old, was diagnosed with COVID-19 right after Labor Day.
"That weekend, Lord was I sick," he said.
According to Smith, he suffered from shortness of breath, high fever, and fatigue and spent five days at St. Vincent, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.
"I couldn't even get up out of bed to go to the bathroom because I would be gasping for air," he said.
Even now at home, Smith said those symptoms linger.
"Every time I get up and I go to walk someplace, the first thing that strikes my mind is this going to hit me again?" he said.
These after-effects of shortness of breath, fatigue, and brain fog is not just unique to Smith though, according to UAMS lung doctor, Dr. Nikhil Meena.
"It's actually pretty much is, what I would describe, as a phenomenon by now," he said.
Dr. Meena said it doesn't discriminate because hospitals are seeing it in patients from young to old and in mild cases to extreme.
"People who had no symptoms when they had the disease are coming back and have different organ systems that are not perfectly working," he said.
But the question for doctors across the country is why?
Michael W. Smith has been battling lingering symptoms of COVID-19 for 3 months.
He's what some call a "long-hauler."
Coming up on @THV11, hear why Michael describes these months as the "most challenging of his life" and why doctors say these lasting effects remain "a mystery." pic.twitter.com/WXmpALk758
— Mercedes Mackay (@THVMercedes) November 23, 2020
"I think all of this is going to come back to COVID, but why exactly, is going to be a multifactorial because it just basically is a bomb that goes off in your body and your body just has to deal with it over a long period of time," Dr. Meena said.
Dr. Meena is hopeful answers will be found through research down the road while Smith just wishes to be his happy self again.
"Here lately it's been hard to speak upbeat things all the time," Smith said.
Dr. Meena advises people who are still suffering from these symptoms to treat it like training for a marathon. Once you feel up for it, push yourself a little more every day to get your body back to where it was before.

WHERE CAN I BUY NOVEXPERT?
In the Netherlands, you can find the brand Novexpert at all outlets of ICI PARIS XL.
This term is the contraction of 2 words: cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The combination of these 2 words defines a more scientific type of cosmetics, with more advanced and more concentrated formulas. In other terms, cosmeceuticals are treatments in which effectiveness, rather than well-being, is the ultimate goal. Novexpert clearly positions itself as a "cosmeceutical" brand.
ARE NOVEXPERT PRODUCTS SUITABLE FOR MEN?
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE BUTYLENE GLYCOL USED IN NOVEXPERT FORMULAS?
Novaxyline is a complex patented by the Novexpert laboratories that combines a brown algae extract with a complex sugar (polysaccharide). This "algae/sugar" complex is contained in nearly all Novexpert products (not present in Novexpert Booster serum with Hyalyronic Acid nor in the Novexpert Booster serum with 5 Omega's). It brings astounding effects on the skin: reducing by nearly 70% one of the leading causes of aging (cellular oxidation) and activating the sirtuine gene recognized for its properties in anti-aging protection. This innovation helped the Novexpert brand to win more than 14 international awards!
Each day, you apply nearly 500 molecules to your face. Over your life time, your skin will have absorbed more than 500 kg of cosmetics… Several scientific publications have shown that skincare products penetrate deep-down into the skin and that our body "stocks" the molecules contained in the cosmetics, the health consequences of which are unknown to this day. In response, Novexpert chooses biodegradable active ingredients most of which are either of plant or biotechnological origin. Effectiveness is also evaluated in the long term. Knowing that today's results will not have a hefty price tag in the future is essential.
– What is biotechnology ? As an example, yogurt is a biotechnological product as it is created from lactic ferments. Other examples include bread, beer, vinegar, cheese, etc.
– What does biotechnology use ? Living organisms, micro-organisms such as bacteria, enzymes, yeast, etc. What could be more natural?
– The Novexpert difference ? Our research center is a cutting-edge laboratory in the field of cosmetics. We have used biotechnology for many years as it is a clean (non-pollution generating) and very healthy technology (biodegradability and bio-affinity).

La battaglia di Ravenna, capitale dell'impero romano d'Occidente, avvenne tra il 2 e il 4 settembre del 476, e vide l'ultimo esercito romano occidentale, comandato da Paolo, affrontare e subire la sua disfatta finale contro gli Eruli sotto il loro re Odoacre.

Antefatti

Nel 476, l'Impero romano d'Occidente controllava de facto solo la penisola italiana, e il suo imperatore era il sedicenne Romolo Augusto, che regnava da Ravenna con la protezione del padre, il generale Flavio Oreste. A complicare la situazione, la corte d'Oriente riconosceva Giulio Nepote come il vero imperatore.

Gli Eruli erano foederati dei Romani e combattevano per l'esercito romano in Italia; invidiavano però le fortune dei loro simili in Gallia, Spagna e Africa, che si erano conquistati ampi territori con le armi, ed insistevano per ricevere un terzo delle terre in Italia, richiesta loro negata da Oreste. Da tutti gli accampamenti e le guarnigioni in Italia, i federati germanici si posero sotto lo stendardo di Odoacre. Oreste fu costretto a fuggire e si rifugiò a Pavia, ma non servì a nulla, giacché la città fu messa a sacco e Oreste preso e giustiziato.

Battaglia
La battaglia decisiva avvenne il 2 settembre 476 vicino a Ravenna, la capitale della pars occidentis. La città era difesa da Paolo, il fratello di Oreste, a capo della guarnigione della città. La resistenza fu inutile: gli Eruli presero la città, e Paolo fu preso e giustiziato con rapidità e facilità.

Conseguenze
Due giorni dopo, Romolo Augusto, che aveva solo sedici anni, fu costretto ad abdicare a favore di Odoacre, terminando così oltre 1200 anni di dominio romano in Italia. Deposto, Romolo fu mandato in ritiro in Campania, scomparendo dalle fonti storiche, molto probabilmente morto dopo il 511, forse a Castellum Lucullanum, a Napoli.

Oltre all'Italia, però, la pars occidentis dell'Impero romano aveva ancora un possedimento nel nord della Gallia, che divenne il cosiddetto Regno di Soissons, che già da tempo si stava staccando dall'Italia e dalla parte occidentale dell'Impero romano. Tale reame indipendente sarebbe stato annesso al regno dei Franchi nel 486.

Here we show that the framework of the titanium silicate ETS-4, the first member of this class of materials, can be systematically contracted through dehydration at elevated temperatures to 'tune' the effective size of the pores giving access to the interior of the crystal [1].
There were no significant differences in the concentrations of nickel, copper, bromine, rubidium, lead, barium, or titanium in the serums of Legionnaires' disease and control patients [2].
PURPOSE: To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of a weekly schedule of titanocene dichloride (TD) and to define the pharmacokinetics of titanium in plasma and urine [3].
To assess whether the LeVeen shunt with titanium tip improves the results obtained with therapeutic paracentesis, 81 patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites were randomly assigned to therapy with paracentesis plus intravenous albumin (42 patients) or LeVeen shunt with titanium tip (39 patients) [4].
Treatment of patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites using LeVeen shunt with titanium tip: comparison with therapeutic paracentesis [4].
This method of monolayer formation contrasts the requirement for heating and long reaction times found to be necessary to form phosphonate monolayers on other metal oxide substrates, such as titanium and silicon [5].
Bone filling around titanium implants may benefit from smoking cessation: a histologic study in rats [6].
Titanium anchors should not be used when bone quality is poor or good patient compliance is doubtful [7].

A Train Crash, A Missing Spouse, A Day in the Life of Two Chabad Rabbis
The magic of the Chabad's network
At the Market Street menorah lighting in The Woodlands, near Houston, Texas.
by Baila Olidort - Bronx, NY
Sunday morning, 11:00, Rabbi Levi Shemtov of Riverdale, NY was at the funeral of Rabbi Dr. Jack Sable, founding rabbi of The Riverdale Jewish Center, when his smartphone vibrated urgently.
It was Houston calling.
About A Good Jewish Cause
Kidney Transplant Patient Finds Donor at Chabad
Rabbi Mendel Blecher, of Chabad of The Woodlands needed his colleague's help. A woman from the Houston area was injured in the Metro-North train crash in the Bronx, a mile and a half from Chabad of Riverdale. Her husband was frantically trying to get in touch with her. Could he help locate her?
Sunday was a particularly packed day on Shemtov's calendar. The funeral, a bar mitzvah, and preparations for the grand menorah lighting event later that evening at the Bell Tower Monument in the Bronx would consume most of his day.
Then he got this text about the woman in the train crash. And then a phone call from a community member whose mom had just died at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Would the rabbi please go there to do whatever rabbis do to ensure that the body is properly handled?
Shemtov prayed silently for a Chanukah miracle that would allow him to be there for both.
A flurry of text messages and phone calls between the two Chabad rabbis ensued as they each did their own research to find the hospital that the woman from Houston was taken to.
A PANICKED SPOUSE
At home in Houston, Chase Patton was in distress. He got a call from his wife Sherrill at 6:29 central time Sunday morning. The Metro-North train she and her two friends were riding had crashed in the Bronx. Banged-up and bruised, she was alive. Then the phone line went dead.
Chase, a postal worker, tried calling back but there was no answer. An hour later, she called again saying that she and her friends were being taken to separate hospitals. She hung up abruptly.
Two hours later with no word from Sherrill and no way of reaching her, Chase began to stress. "That's when news reports started to come in about the dying victims," said Chase in a phone interview with lubavitch.com. For Chase, "it was pure panic."
Four people were killed in that accident. Traveling with friends to New York for a 30th year high-school reunion, Sherrill was among 60 injured passengers.
"I knew that she always underestimates her injuries," Chase said in a phone interview with lubavitch.com. "After losing a child [their eldest son passed away 12 years ago] and not knowing what's going on with my spouse, I felt the fear of losing her."
Chase called the police. He called two local television stations. He called his Chabad rabbi.
NETWORKING RABBIS
Chanukah Sunday would be a busy day for most Chabad rabbis. Rabbi Blecher got an early start preparing for the grand menorah lighting at Market Street in The Woodlands, a township 30 minutes north of Houston, when he got the call from Chase.
Gravitating to the warmth he found with Rabbi Blecher, Chase recently began coming to Chabad. Now he was desperate to find his wife, and amid the panic "the thought of calling Rabbi Blecher popped into my head."
The rabbis worked their phones. Shemtov narrowed it down to two hospitals: Montefiore or Columbia Presbyterian. Blecher called them both and texted Shemtov with his findings.
Blecher: 622 w 168th St adult emergency room Section D
Shemtov: I will be there in 15 minutes
Rabbi Shemtov felt a nod from G-d. Both exigencies were at Columbia Presbyterian.
Stopping first at the hospital mortuary, Shemtov made arrangements for shmira, the traditional vigil over the body, and for a Jewish burial. Then he made his way to the emergency room.
He had no idea what Sherrill looked like. With all the patients behind curtains, the best he could do was call out her name. "I walked around calling 'Sherrill' until someone answered my call."
The face of a bruised, but very much alive Sherrill Patton lit up when she saw the rabbi. "Oh," she said relieved to see the rabbi. "My Chabad rabbi, Mendel Blecher must have sent you."
She had no cell phone service, so she could not call her husband, she told Rabbi Shemtov.
Shemtov tried a hospital landline but that didn't work. Now his phone had no reception either. He suggested that Sherrill come out with him to the lobby, where perhaps he'll get a signal so that her husband can hear her voice. The two walked together until the rabbi's phone bars lit up.
Rabbi Shemtov called Chase.
"Your wife is fine. I am here with her."
Overcome with relief, Chase choked up, speechless.
Shemtov handed the phone to Sherrill.
It took a few minutes for Chase to regain his composure, before husband and wife could speak.
Before the day was over, Rabbi Shemtov would be greeting hundreds at the Bronx's tallest menorah at the Bell Tower Monument lighting. It was five lights that night, an especially auspicious night for miracles.
In Houston, Chase Patton was in his own celebratory mood. When he and his two children joined Rabbi Blecher and 300 others at the Market Street lighting, local Channel 2 news pulled Chase aside for an interview. He spoke about his ordeal and his own Chanukah miracle.
"What the police couldn't do for me, and what the media couldn't do for me, Chabad did for me," a very relieved, grateful man offered.
Simply heartwarming.

Meyling, Nicolai V. (2008) Ecology of entomopathogenic fungi in agroecosystems. . Online at http://topics.scirus.com/Ecology_of_entomopathogenic_fungi_in_agroecosystems.html.
Fungi that infect insects have received considerable attention by scientists for their potential for biological control of pests. Many research projects have focussed on the selection of virulent strains for target pests and their development as biological control agents. In contrast, surprisingly little is known about the fundamental ecology of most of these fungi in nature. This knowledge is essential in order to receive the most ecosystem services provided by entomopathogenic fungi in agricultural production. Knowledge of the basic ecology of the fungi is also necessary to include them in conservation biological control. In this biological control strategy, agricultural practices and/or habitat manipulations are applied to the farming system to favour living conditions for specific natural enemies of pests (Eilenberg et al., 2001).
